5/24 days of Face: Jimin in hard(ware) vs soft(ware) mode.

Permission to Dance - Seoul

To quote Jungkook watching Jimin's performance in Black Swan: JIMII↗️↘️IINNN. Seriously? That outfit. His V line. His Nevermind tattoo. Is he trying to kill us? How does he look like that and then switch to aegyo and be such a cutie?

This. Everyone, please get it together 😭

He has a solo coming out. Promise and Christmas Love are on Spotify and available to buy on iTunes. But everyone is focused on who is hanging out with him. Who cares right now?? Put your shipping aside for a month. We have bigger things to worry about like how Jimin is getting dragged by another fandom who shall remain unnamed, and his album competing against a lot of releases in March. Eyes on the prize, guys

STAY FOCUSED, BROTHERS

Folks, I absolutely will not be sharing any hot takes about if Jikook hang out or are no longer hanging out, if Taekook is more than a friendship, for whom military service is on the horizon next, any bullshit claims of chart manipulation or favoritism, nor any scandal whatsoever, neither will I discuss whatever is on the news, or sasaengs, nor speculations on contracts or collabs or schedules.

It's JIMARCH. We focus on Jimin and FACE.

*And also Yoongi's birthday because lil meow meow deserves a lovely birthday.

BUT THEN WE FOCUS BACK ON FACE!!

You didn't ask for advice but today I'm generously giving it away: protect your energy. Because assholes WILL be coming for it all month long.

Take a page out of Jimin's bible and just deflect that shit so we can collectively get back to what matters.

Plenty of time to agonize and analyze in April. Let's get off the Jikook rollercoaster just for now and trust them, okay?

This week I'll be talking about how to vote to help Jimin rank in charts and for awards. Stay focused, brothers.

Love, Roo

Seeing them together always brought me comfort because they're basically family and have each other's backs. They've gone through thick and thin, cried on each other's shoulders, and they are always there for each other. It's been worrisome seeing them apart even though some of them seem to enjoy the breathing room more than others.

I'm not sure what's going on in JKs wlives these days, but he has always been a wild card. I think you bring up a good point about him being in the industry since 13. This is his first long break. There's no one to tell him when to wake up and shower; to manage his schedule and tell him what to do, etc. So what do you do when you are suddenly on your own? I am like him where I would just be indoors all day playing games, watching TV, doing introverted things. I don't know if he is depressed or not, and I don't know anything about psychology, but one thing is for sure: he is upset with the whole stalker situation.

Him talking about the stalker, saying he is also human, made me feel so bad for him. No matter how much we try to protect them, they know what's going on around them. They are 100% aware of all the crap that gets said about them online too. We love them and want to protect them but we are helpless and can't stop anything. 😞 No one deserves to have their privacy invaded like that. Not Namjoon, not Jungkook, not anyone.

I'm just gonna keep posting this pic of Jimin to remind ppl:

I’m worried about our Tannies. I’m worried about them individually and as a group. Today was horribly emotional - first J-Hope saying goodbye, then JK feeling like he has to remind us that he’s human, too. These young men have known nothing but work and each other since well before their debut in 2013. They deserve time, and they deserve space. They have to come to terms with not being in each others’ pockets anymore, not seeing someone they were used to seeing every day, not having the steady comfort of the known to keep them grounded. Hobi, RM and Jimin seem almost liberated. Yoongi does, too. It’s hard to say what Jin was feeling, since anything he had in his life was being frozen in involuntary ice. Tae is doing his own thing. Then there’s JK.

JK seems depressed and lost. He’s rudderless and at a loss. For the first time since he was 13, he’s alone. Really, truly alone. And while it might have been a relief at first to have some time and space, now I think it’s become an ocean and he’s forgotten how to swim. The behavior of the stalkers and the sasaengs are making everything worse, probably making him feel like he’s a prisoner in his own home, unable to go out because it’s no longer safe, even if he had somewhere to go.

I get the worst empathic feelings from watching his lives these days. I feel the sorrow, the confusion, the silent desperation, the anxiety. He doesn’t want to lose his brothers to the military. They’re all he’s ever known. And now he doesn’t even know who he is, because for the first time in ten years, he doesn’t have anybody around him to tell him who he’s supposed to be. They’ve all gone from living with staff and managers and schedules to…nothing. It might have been a breath of fresh air at first, but now I wonder if it feels like dangling over a cliff on a fraying rope.

6/24 days of Face: Jimin in hard(ware) vs soft(ware) mode.

Okay, there's no such thing as hard vs soft versions of 'Christmas Love' and 'Promise'. These two songs are just soft, soft, soft. I had to include this in my "24 days" set since it's meant to be a countdown for Face.

A few years ago, Jimin gifted his fans these two songs on Soundcloud and they will finally be available on Spotify on 3/6 2PM KST/12 AM EST, and 3/5 9PM PST.

I can finally add Promise to all my coffee/study/chill playlists. I love it so much. It's my comfort song. 😭

Jimin x Dior for W Korea, Daman, and Esquire

In the W Korea Q&A video, Jimin was so unserious and adorable, and he kept cracking the staff up in between photos. You can tell he's got everyone wrapped around his finger. He leaves a trail of enamored fans wherever he goes. He's got Donatella Versace liking the Instagram post announcing his Ambassadorship for Dior. He's got people at Dior and Tiffany liking a video of him crying over fried chicken and ramen. He's on so many covers and news articles that I've lost track of them all.

And you know what he does with all this fame and attention? He spends time on Weverse with his fans and plays with Legos and moss balls and talk about the work the other members are doing 🥹 How can you not love him?

Grr we can't let antis win over our precious Jiminie.

The sabotage has already started and we are still three weeks away.

Antis are trying to get Jimin’s instagram and Spotify accounts shadow-banned for “buying bot streams” and “unfair company privileges.”

If you see them being loud? Don’t engage. Report and block. Let every asshole you see shading Jimin motivate you to buy and stream harder for FACE.

When FACE’S single drops, we go into lockdown and we stay true to one course: we love all 7 and right now we support Jimin’s first solo album.

See hate? Replace it with twice as much love. That’s how we honor our it boy.
