I’ve tried to find the original video and cannot find it. Maybe it was cut by Music Bank?

Hi Anon,

It was Jimin's birthday, and JK was recording early in the day because he had a schedule that night. Not sure if you know but they record several versions of the performance and the artist does a different ending fairy each time.

I'm laughing as i write this because I remember the collective shocked gasp from army when they released the footage of the recordings (on the day). Some people tried to pass it off as something else but ffs come on.... we know what the universal mime of a blow job looks like.

Unsurprisingly it was cut form the final edit and they went with something bland and innocuous for the broadcast and the official YouTube version.

Yeah, so anyway i hope Jimin had a lovely birthday and they enjoyed their champagne

🤣🤣🤣

Love THEM exactly as THEY are

I dont know what to say. I truly don't.

Except if anyone doesn't love them exactly as they are, those people are the losers.

They lose at love

They lose at life

They lose at being human and kind and good, because this love is so beautiful and true. If anyone can't see that, the problem is with them, not with Jimin and Jungkook.

Also, this meme, one of my favourites, comes to mind...

I dont wanna wish my life away but yes, August be now please.

Can it be August 8th already??? Please???

I need to see them, Can´t wait! 💜

Genuine question, I thought it was already debunked as not being JM at the airport?

I would absolutely love if JM was there, and maybe he was but I think that specific person at the airport was a staff member. It makes complete sense though that JM would be there. I think JK would have greatly needed his support during this performance.

Hi Anon, thanks for this ask, and i see your point, that certainly looks like a very similar outfit to what we see in the airport. VERY similar... and the person on the jet with Park Naejoo doesn't look like Jimin. I can't find the original source for the images on the X post so i dont know when that photo was taken but the clothes are too similar to argue.

We can be forgiven for thinking it's Jimin, the body language is so similar. Apparently there's someone else who laughs like an inflatable tube man?

I still believe the Bangtan Bomb shows someone very close to JK accompanied him to Qatar, and I need an explanation for why people were calling out Jimin's name at the airport... but that's question for another day 🐥

On a personal note...

This is a personal story, so feel free to scroll on past (if you're only here for the Jikookery I can respect that).

I'm posting this because it's connected to what Jimin and Jungkook (specifically Jimin) may or may not be doing with this album and their travel series "Are you sure", and by that I mean coming out publicly as queer and as lovers. If it sounds vague, it is, because I don't know what they're doing yet. I don't know how far Jimin is taking this or what direction he'll go. But if he is going to make his private life public, then my post is relevant even though my experience is a microscopic spec 0f what he will encounter.

I live in a conservative little town on the edge of a big city, we're almost the last stop on the metro train line. This place has 10 000 residents and a reputation for being a little on the rough side. It's not a bad place and the people are not bad people but they won't step aside if you pick a fight, lets put it that way.

There's one high school in our little town, and I am the school librarian. I also run the school's pride club and when I started it 5 years ago (that's when I joined this school) it kicked up a bit of a stink. The community had mixed feelings. I wasn't out as trans at that point, only as queer. The school principal supported the club but wanted me to keep it quiet (I didn't). She wanted me to be appeasing (I wasn't). And when we had challenges from homophobic students, she wanted me to 'let her handle it' ( I didn't).

I responded to bigotry with patience and kindness, modelling the behaviour I expected and having many many conversations about prejudice, the patriarchy, learned behaviour, fear of the unknown, and minding your own damn business....

When I came out as trans to the school community - changing my name and pronouns - I faced some real push back from both staff and students. Students were less openly hostile but sometimes the subtle attempts at bullying are worse. My line manager was really difficult about it. I was a hot topic of conversation. It wasn't a good time. But I stuck with it, partly because I couldn't go back and partly because the Pride Club students were so empowered by what I was doing. They thought I was really brave. I couldn't let them down.

It was a tough time for me personally. Every day was a struggle as I navigated my wavering sense of identity and tried to be true to myself. Most of my family and friends were okay with it but some were not. Some flipped back and forth, some thought I had lost my mind. I had to let a few people go from my life, including one of my closest friends. I've lost a few more since then. I've cried more in the past few years than I have in my whole life and I am pretty tough, so you gotta know - it was a lot.

Fast forward to now. The pride club is well established, homophobia still exists but it's less overt and it's no longer ignored, and we have staff who are active allies. It's definitely a success. Our students to have a safe place where they can be themselves, and slow change is coming to the culture of the school.

It has come at a personal cost though. Not a HUGE personal cost but enough for it to matter. I am recognised and known around town because, well, most people in small communities know each other. But more so because of my role in the school, and because I am the only out and vocal queer person on school staff (yes, there are other LGBTQIA+ staff but they keep it quiet, and I don't really blame them).

At school i still have to correct people on my pronouns on a daily basis, and occasionally a student will throw a comment my way but it's not often these days. I have to come out to all the new staff pretty much as soon as I first meet them otherwise it's awkward. It's just an everyday thing. It's not a big deal but it's tiring, and it's something cis/straight people don't ever have to think about.

What is tough, though, is sniping from the community at large every now and again. I have been targeted on community socials and I've had had some pretty brusque service from local shop owners and service personnel in local businesses. Sometimes I see kids from school at the shops and they point me out to their parents. I pretend it's because they're happy to see me (what the fuck else am I going to do - hide in the apple crate?) They may say a friendly hello... or they may following me through the aisles of the supermarket trying to menace me - yes, that has happened - I just have to wait and see.

I do have allies in the community too - like the gorgeous pharmacist who always gets my name and pronouns right and compliments me (on whatever he can think of) every time I collect my meds. There's a stern woman in the hardware store who makes a point of loudly correcting herself when she uses the wrong pronouns (often). I appreciate this, I really do, but honestly it would be great if she could be a little quieter.

I am not a celebrity by any means, just a small town school librarian. But wherever I go in my small town - to the doctor, the supermarket, the park, or the gym - there's a chance I'll encounter someone who knows my face. Sometimes that makes me nervous.

The point of this long and boring post is to give people who may not know what it's like, a bit of insight into the experience of a regular, everyday person who lives in a conservative place and who is both recognisable and queer. It can be exhausting, and from time to time I struggle with mental health issues. So I have no doubt that for people who are really well known, it would be much, much worse. They would be the subject of public debate on news sites and TV. They'd be tossed into arguments by politicians on both sides of the divide. They'd encounter hostility in person too, and that's really frightening.

So please remember that if the celebs you admire choose NOT to come out, it's because they've weighed up their choices and that's the safest option for them. Support them where they're at, so they can live their best life under the circumstances.

If they do come out, they'll probably need even more support. Please love them, defend them, celebrate them, and validate them. They need you more than you know.

And above all else, be a good human.
