#ThisIsWhyImBroke
Bighit be siphoning money out of my accounts again...
Jimin's FACE is getting a vinyl.
Its snow white with a black label.
It's so pretty.
It's so groovy!
Ya know? Because it has grooves?
👀
I'll see myself out... 🤦♂️
If Golden gets a black vinyl with a white label I'm tattooing them on my arm. Mark my words.

Do ppl really have NO idea how relationships work?
Like FOR REAL they think if you're in a relationship you don't combine work and holidays so your partner can go with? Or that if you have a relationship you somehow DON'T have any work commitments or a schedule to keep?
Smh... these kids. Who do they think is paying for this love boat to set sail?
so it turns out that jungkook was actually spending time filming his promotional content in japan with the recent interview and it wasnt a jikook holiday trip like jikookers are running with, it was just a job like filming the docu , they cldve chosen not to do that and just be a holiday but they chose to do that. though i wish they just had a few days off before e word even namjoon is working now. tho yeah km dont seem as close as maybe early in the year from jungkook's few lines in vlives
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ASK! AJAAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAAJAJAJANANANAJAJAJA
Ajá, anon. Whatever you said.
Blonde Jimin... why?
I've been thinking about this question.
Even though Jimin has told us his favourite hair colour is black, i can see why he would want to switch it up. This was his last opportunity to do something wild with his hair before military service after all.
Blonde is pretty pedestrian though
I love blonde on Jimin (but I love anything on Jimin, let's be real) but I'm inclined to say a more vibrant colour might have better suited the theatrical vibe of the MUSE album.
And he did say he liked the pink from BWL
Whatever way you look at it, there were plenty of stylistic choices he could have made for his hair other than blonde.
So why blonde?
A lot of ARMY love Jimin with blonde hair so maybe - a big maybe - it was to please us. So let's get that idea out of the way.
But I doubt it's that, considering he's clearly doing exactly as he pleases these days
🖤Black & White🤍
I personally think it's the black & white theme that he's so obviously chosen for this album.
And its not a coincidence that JK wore black and white (or silver) for a lot of his performances and promos.
The overlap between JM & JK for both style choices and individual clothing items is not news.
And i do think theyre coordinating on these albums.
We ALL think they're coordinating.
Like, there's NO DOUBT they're coordinating.
JK kept his hair black for Golden...
So, blonde hair for Jimin makes perfect sense.
(And it's so pretttttty)
The Tarot of VMINKOOK
Their dynamic as I see it, and the absolute validation that Jimin and JK are together.
I really enjoyed the 3rd episode of Are You Sure, partly because I love the VMin dynamic, and partly becuse I was relieved to see that JK and Tae got along.
I also enjoyed watching just the three of them together without the rest of the members because I could really focus on the way they interacted.
This post is entirely my own opinion, and based on my observations. Feel free to politely disagree.
What we had was:
The Siblings - JK & KTH
The Cousins - JM & KTH
The Lovers - JM &JK
The Siblings
JK and Tae have peak adolescent sibling energy Pre-adolescent maybe....
It's typical of the petty rivalry of siblings close in age where the younger is the dominant personality and the older is slightly mistified by the audacity of their little brother.
Tae's eye-roll here 🤣
They will argue over nothing, but they will also readily unite when they have a common goal or foe. In this episode, they ganged up on Jimin for the sake of amusing the viewers (I get that they had a mandate to be entertaining but seriously, poor Jimin 🤣.)
At least it gave JK and Tae a reason to cooperate, because we know JK wasn't thrilled about him joining them. And who can blame him... how often do the two of them get away together?
Tae and JK probably have that "I can talk shit about my brother but nobody else can" thing going on, and I am 100% sure either of them would jump to defend the other if someone outside Bangtan gave them reason to.
I'm sure JK sees Tae as a genuine brother, but that doesn't mean Tae doesn't irritate the hell out of him sometimes. We've seen Tae take liberties, and we've seen JK snipe at him.
What is clear to me, seeing the three of them together, is that competitive-natured JK has to curb his desire to compete with Tae for Jimin's attention - to steal Jimin from Tae - and we've seen him do it, so it's not unheard of. The bottom line is, JK doesn't love sharing Jimin. And that being true, having to totally relinquish Jimin must have been... challenging let's say.
Even giving him a Harley to ride wasn't enough compensation for JK's FOMO when VMin were having fun in the car without him. And that grimace he wore when he was enjoying his solo gokart ride was absolutely hilarious too.
The other thing that comes between them, based on what I've seen, is JK's impatience with Tae's quirkiness. JK does not seem to have the gentle fondness or the endless patience Jimin does with Tae, which brings me to...
The Cousins
Tae and Jimin are like those cousins. You know the ones I mean? The cousins who have that magical bond. They connect on some ultraviolet wavelength nobody else can see, and it's both delightful and annoying for everyone around them (especially for the ultra-competitive boyfriend of one of the cousins, who feels like he's the third wheel when the those two get together).
Jimin and Tae are 친구 - same age friends - and this automatically puts them together - they are peers. It creates an instant friendship bond. But their connection seems like more than that, because Jimin and Tae seem to be so at ease together that neither of them has to mask, and that means they trust one another. That type of deep connection between two people can only come from unconditional acceptance.
Tae doesnt know how to use a drive-thru, and Jimin patiently helps him.
I believe that even if they grow apart, their unique connection will always remain... Because you never forget your first, right?
I'm talking about the first person who really sees you.
Maybe they're the first person you come out to and who comforts you when you're afraid of what that might mean for you. Maybe they're the person who never teases you when you miss social cues, and who will quietly explain the joke you didn't get. Whatever your situation, that person is the one who you trust with your real self. You know you're safe with them.
Both Tae and Jimin have characteristics that set them apart. I'm not in the habit of diagnosing people but Tae does make me wonder, the way he lacks social awareness and sometimes goes off on bizzare tangents, and his very individual fashion sense... not to mention his hatred of shoes. Jimin's gender and sexual identity would have been equally challenging for him, trying as he was to fit in and be a strong man.
They would both have felt like outsiders and struggled with connection and belonging, and I think their genuine support of each other is what makes their friendship so special.
I think that's what the soulmates thing is all about.
And who could possibly compete with a soulmate? Only one person...
In this social game of cards, JK holds the trump.
The Lovers
There's only one reason JK would rank higher in Jimin's books than Tae, when Tae automatically has higher standing on both a personal level with Jimin, and a broader social level.
Jimin and Tae are 친구 - they have a bond unique to people born in their year. That bond means younger or older friends are always going to be more distant, because even with close friendships across age groups, honorifics will still apply. Only with chingus can the honorifics completely fall away.
In addition, Tae is older than JK, so automatically holds a higher social standing. Even though Tae and JK are friends, JK should still defer to him, especially where his chingu is concerned. But JK does not.
This can only mean one thing:
Jimin and JK are in a relationship.
JK's status as Jimin's partner outweighs any other relationships Jimin has. Therefore JK stands as an equal next to Jimin, and that shuffles everyone else down a notch.
That's why we see JK squeezing in next to Jimin (sometimes pushing the older members out) so he can get where he needs wants to be.
That's also why, in episode 3, JK could take the bed next to Jimin and leave Tae to sleep on the floor.
Aside from JK's position as Jimin's equal, we can clearly see that he takes care of Jimin in ways he wouldn't if they were not together. He may not defer to Jimin, but he is visibly devoted to him.
I have never had any doubt that Jimin and JK were lovers, and I never for a moment thought they broke up. It's no surprise to me that this is confirned when we see them on this trip.
But I'm still dying to see the next episode with Tae.
Bring on Thursday!!
