JIMIN'S PRODUCTION DIARY (2023)
I have thoughts about the Watch with Jimin livestream...
How do i love thee? Let me count the ways...
I did in fact do some counting. I counted Jimin's blink rate during the almost two minutes he watched JK recording the back-up vocals for Letter to Army. And yes, it was a labour of love, especially since I don't enjoy numbers... they're tricksy squirmy little gremlins that do sneaky things like divide themslves in two, or become imaginary.
But for the sake of science and Jikookery, I counted how many times - and when - Jimin blinked during this sequence.
Overall, nothing unusual to report. The average number of times a person blinks in a minute is approximately 15. In the 1m55s of video I captured, Jimin blinked 33 times. Unremarkable.
Except...
The pattern of how much he blinked changed markedly depending on who was on screen.
When Jmin was watching himself, he blinked far more than when he was watching JK. Frequent blinking can be a sign of stress, and there were a number of other clues too, that Jimin wasn't all that comfortable watching himself: giggling, hiding his face, selfconsciously flicking his hair, playing with his hands etc etc.
When JK was on screen Jimin sat still, his gaze fixed on JK. Often his mouth fell open just a little, his lips parted as though he was entranced. In fact, during the first 20 seconds of the footage when he's leaning forward staring intently at JK, he only blinks 4 times.
And that's a clue to another factor at play here...
There's a phenomenon in the psychology of attraction called a COPULATORY GAZE. When someone stares intently at a person they find attractive, that's what it's called.
It's a COPULATORY GAZE.
So it's not just a minor fascination he has going on, or a bit of focused admiration.
Translated to the coloquial, I guess you could call it EYE FUCKING.
Yes, eye fucking is a scientific phenomenon.
But wait, there's more...
Towards the end of this segment of Watch With Jimin, when JK is done recording and he and Jimin are on screen together, something happens to our dear Jiminie on the livestream.
It involves a bit of eye fucking and lip licking (licking, tongue movement, swallowing, all necessary to deal with the saliva that accumulates in your mouth when you're aroused.) Yes, it seems our boy has a visceral response watching the doco, particularly when JK plays around with him on screen.
JK says he's going to feature in Jimin's concert, and he then moves towards Jimin and says (you can't make this stuff up istg) "I will do this behind you." Right, he's just talking about singing the back up vocals.
Jimin is absolutely transfixed though. He swallows with some difficulty. His chest is visibly rising and falling. He's breathing hard and I'm sure that's not all.
Now realistically we've seen them flirt and tease each other so many times that what they're doing in that studio isn't even worth mentioning. And we know Jimin pushes JK's buttons on screen far more than this, apparently just for fun. So why is this little te-ta-te getting Jimin all hot and bothered (because there's no question, that is what's happening).
There's only one thing i can think of.
It's because he's watching it on screen.
I cannot think of ANY other reason that this lukewarm bit of playfulness would make him literally breathless.
And ya know, because i'm a dirty boy with a wild imagination, this leads me to think of all those times they've flirted onscreen...
Does Jimin go home and watch Bangtan TV clips and get all shook up?
Is he bookmarking all the YT complilations of him and JK doing questionable things, and using them for his own nefarious purposes?
I don't even want to think about the footage that gets deleted, the stuff that's too risque to put in a Bangtan Bomb. I picture Jimin scooping it up off the cutting room floor and stuffing down his shirt to smuggle home.
And what about all the on-stage shenanigans at concerts? Kitty Gang Jimin comes to mind immediately.
Does he search for fancams - from LY Hong Kong maybe - and use them to cam his fan in the privacy of his bedroom?
Ok, I've reached that invisble line.... I'm going to stop RIGHT HERE.
You can decide for yourselves whether our mochi has a lil bit of an exhibitionist streak - whether the thought of doing questionable things in public with his buff boytoy revs his engine.
I'll leave you with this nugget of barely suppressed lust, and I'm not just talking about the goings-on on stage. The whole vibe of this concert is feral. I am forever sorry to have missed this one...
(The two women in the bottom right corner are amost as entertaining as the boys imo... pretty sure one of them drops their army bomb haha...)

My Ramblings about Jikook in Jimin’s Documentary Live
So I’m doing it, I’m making a post about it. This will probably be chaotic and poorly organized like all my posts, but here we go.
When Jimin first yelled JK! I was so confused because his bf wasn’t on screen yet. It took me until I faintly heard Jungkook’s voice in the background to realize that he was there. 🥹
One of the first things I noticed too was Jimin’s super cute giggles. I can’t help but wonder if Jungkook was doing something behind the cameras to make Jimin laugh super hard. My guess is yes but either way it was sweet.
The next thing that I noticed that I haven’t seen talked about was Jimin saying something about it feeling like he’s at home watching but there are people in front (I’m assuming camera crew) which could just be a nuanced translation but why now? Jimin you’ve been on air for at least thirty minutes now but suddenly it feels like home? Maybe because a certain cutie boyfriend arrived on set. 🤭🫠 would love to know if there are additional meanings for that translation because it seems out of place.
When Jungkook actually comes up to Jimin’s chest to talk into the mic because Jimin told him to. No boundaries, no second guessing. He can get that close because he does, often. I loved the other bloggers who have already pointed out the similarities between the clearness that we could hear Jimin on the mic when Jungkook woke him up to eat during ITS2. Proves how close he had to be to Jimin for Jimin’s voice to pick it up so clearly in the mic. Also proves why we didn’t see it if they were that close. My guess too is that no film crew was in the room with them. I’m sure they have some autonomy when filming that Jungkook said he was going to wake Jimin up alone. He was still mic’d up though hence us hearing their convo. I personally don’t think they would be cuddled up together with a film crew in the room, I digress.
The next part of the convo is interesting. I wonder if Jungkook had planned to be there. Like maybe they had a chair set out for him and maybe Jimin didn’t know that his bf was going to come get his front row seat and watch. Maybe Jimin was truly surprised to spot Jungkook.
Of course I had butterflies and giggled over Jimin feeling up Jungkook’s chest and getting a little squeeze in. A squeeze that Jungkook definitely leaned in for. Jimin reached his arm out, and Jungkook instinctively knew that Jimin was going to touch him so he leaned in and let him. But then the poor bunny got flustered and forgot to answer Jimin’s question or what to do next.
The next few moments are super awkward and giggly and cute. The camera cuts all visibility on both of them from the waist down but we see Jimin tap JK on the booty. He’s not slick 👀 then he tells Jungkook that he can go home and rest and insists he takes the chair with him 🤣
Jungkook leaves with gusto telling Jimin he will watch his documentary (I think the translation says on the way) but I’m assuming that means on his way home probably.
The last interesting thing is Jungkook widening those doe eyes at the camera, looking at it dead on and saying goodbye. I love you. I’m so conflicted because I really really want to believe that I love you was for Jimin. Jimin was already seated at that moment, recovering from the flirty commotion. The way that Jungkook was so adamant about that I love you makes me feel like it wasn’t for me or Army, but again, I try not to have confirmation bias. I hope this is not one of those times. Jimin waves to him cutely. His eyes following Jungkook out the room and then concludes that it was nice. 🥹 Be still my heart.
It was nice. Very nice to see them together. Very nice to shut down all the haters and insecure people out there. Nothing has changed between them. No one can deny their closeness after that. And for those that need to cling to their gestures and mannerisms not indicating an intimacy that extends beyond a platonic friendship, good luck with that. Whatever helps you sleep at night. Just leave us alone. Your homophobic rants and petty rumors aren’t welcome here. ✌🏻
It's so funny how RM advised them for the lyrics BPP!!
The way Jimin couldn't stop laughing!!
I miss my minimoni! I miss them!

Everything about that moment including Jimin's delivery was pure comedic timing genius.

Just as it was with the BTS book earlier this summer, I sincerely hope everyone watches the documentary. Especially the people who call themselves his fans. I suspect it will be very educational for those who aren't completely sucked in yet.
Hello 🫶 How are you Shaz?
Me not so well… yeah HOW the fuck they want me to not be delulu with Jimin’s upcoming documentary (yeah I know same question as last ask sorry not sorry!).
Okay hear me out: We just have received the duration of all the parts of his documentary… Guess what nearly two hours in total! And then you have the duration for « The truth untold » which if you remember was told to be about Letter… okay so: 2 minutes and 26 seconds… that’s all! Okay so hear me out (again): at the end of the documentary we will have the part of the Truth untold, and it will start with JK saying « So he wrote this beautiful love song about me, our love story and I ask me to sing it with him. So Here I am! »… What do you think?! 😬😂Yeah I know delulu I am delulu I will be until its release.
Have a nice day 👩🦯
😂😂😂😂
We can speculate my lovely. And listen, the thought did occur to me.
I saw that and was like, why is the truth untold 2 minutes long? Is it because he's going to drop a bomb? 👀 we can be delulu, sure
But, if what happened before the SEVEN MV dropped has taught me anything, is that patience is key. 🙇🏾♀️
Don't mean I ain't nervous AF though. I don't really trust Jikook at this particular juncture. But guess we'll just have to wait.
Whatever it is though, with a title like that, its bound to be interesting.
Edit: I take that back
Not even close to what we were thinking @jjkk131 😂😂 we really are 🤡🤡
Watch JK and letter not come up on this either
Didn't some other members have their documentaries on weverse and Disney?
Why is Jimin's content restricted to weverse only? Isn't that limiting his audience? Disney is available to plenty of people, it's easily accessible and there's plenty of "gp" there. Putting content out on neutral platforms is a way of promoting the artist, isn't it?
Do they want to keep the content within the fandom? I don't get it.
I'm being tested right now
I vaguely remember that when I "reviewed" J-Hope's documentary, I said that perhaps it is better to have it on weverse mainly due to its production qualities and the topic at hand. It wasn't made with the general public in mind, which is why I wasn't really sure if it needs to be on Disney+ for that purpose. He is also not a name known worldwide. And that's important too. Watching this Beckham documentary proves my point. I may not know any details or have an actual interest in football, but I know who the man is. The world knows. And still, it was made in such a way that even my mother and my sister became invested in the story. If the subject is not of general public interest beforehand, then you need to know how to get a good story out. If the subject is already a known figure, you still need a good story.
The Big Hit documentaries are not. Yes, BTS is a famous group, but the internet generation knows them. The target audience is a specific demographic and not the widest one. The docs were made in such a way that they are mostly fully understood by an audience already familiar with BTS, Suga and J-Hope. If the approach would have been different, then it would indeed make more sense to have them released on a platform with a bigger, more diverse audience. You need to know who you're selling to.
If Jimin's documentary is made in a similar vein, then on one side, I can understand why it's being released only on Weverse. My understanding stops here though.
If the company/label already has a deal with Disney+ and as part of that, two docs were already released with a third one on the way about the group, it means it has been agreed upon that such type of release is appropriate and good enough for the artists. From a label perspective. So, why is it not good for Jimin as well? Suga and J-Hope get theatrical/streaming platform release (regardless of their individual reach, status, influence, how known they are), but the third one in line gets stuck with a platform known only by fans? Even if this was some alternative universe in which Jimin is some member of a group with only basic contribution among a dozen more, it still wouldn't be fair. At least it wouldn't look fair.
I don't understand how the label somehow fucks up so much when it comes to him. I hear one good thing about his projects and less than 24h later, there's a fuckup.
This has ruined my excitement. Because instead of getting a 1h doc on Disney+ that I already pay for, I'm supposed to use that fuckup of a platform which I really don't want to. I really don't.
Finally!!! 💃💃
