Did Anyone Else Who Also Watches Hot Ones Happen To See That Special Christmas Episode They Did A Few

Did anyone else who also watches Hot Ones happen to see that special Christmas episode they did a few years ago where Sean was pulling questions from subscribers out of a hat and answering them and then he was like “hey we have tons of questions ourselves as we plan the next year,” and then they flashed to the TV where they flashed some brainstorming-type questions and one of the questions was “how do we get a table that’s big enough for BTS?” and if you did happen to see that and remember that —

Does it also haunt you like it does me and do you think of it every so often and feel very much betrayed and led on by otherwise-really-cool-guy Sean Evans or is that just me?

Just imagine how incredible that episode would be.

Imagine Taehyung’s reactions to the increasing spice and just being in so much pain and suffering. Imagine Seokjin just ruthlessly making fun of him for it and laughing his glorious laugh. Imagine Jungkook just cleaning every single wing to the bone so that Sean also feels compelled to do so. Imagine Jimin flirting shamelessly with Sean the entire time. Imagine Yoongi glaring when he’s offered milk and asking for soju instead. Imagine Hoseok making Sean actually fall in love with him throughout the course of the interview. Imagine Namjoon just desperately trying to translate and also eat and and answer questions and also just contain the chaos that would be happening all around him JUST IMAGINE.

And now imagining is all I have 😩 and I wouldn’t have even cared if Sean hadn’t BROUGHT IT UP IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Sigh. Maybe 2026.

Okay Jungkook’s teeny waist and army-shaped abs and adorable face are great and all but while I fully support CK’s and everyone else’s general obsession with his belly button I need some appreciation for the ridges in his pectoral muscles because when those pop (and omg do they POP sometimes 😫) I actually go a little bit feral.

That’s all.

My timeline: omg he’s so sexy how does anyone survive that look he’s a god ugh —

My ADHD brain, squinting: Wtf is he eating? Is that an off-brand crunch wrap? Is it a really flat burrito filled only with refried beans and beef? What the hell IS that —

Me to my brain: Stop fixating on the food. Look at Jimin, he’s beautiful and handsome and somehow went straight into a perfect smolder moments after taking a bite of his mystery — seriously what is that? A massive juici patty? Is he eating Jamaican street food right now?

My brain: And why is he dressed like a grandpa in a bathrobe and silky pajama pants?

Me: OMG THE THUMB IN THE CORNER that means he was hanging out with at least one other grandparent. YOONGI? Where’s Yoongi?!

The problem with Jungkook reacting to Jimin’s videos is that now I want more… I was literally waiting for him to react to the Mnet performances today and had to remind myself he doesn’t have a reaction Youtube channel, I’m being greedy I know 😩

LOL how cute would a Jeon Jungkook reaction channel be 😆😆😆 the amount of times he would pause on intentionally unflattering poses and faces of Jimin just to giggle his ass off…

Thanks a lot anon NOW I NEED THIS TOO. 🙄

😉

Here are some cute compilations to help scratch the itch (both JK and BTS in general reacting to Jimin’s amazingness):

I can’t with how many of you predicted he would go live as soon as Jimin left 🤣 are you guys way too good or is our man way too predictable? 😂😂

Disco Koo forevs 🪩🕺🏻

This is for the people who claim that Jikook don’t hang out anymore, and thus are not ‘real.’

So, I’m one of those people who discovered Jikook just by watching a lot of BTS content, simply because their behaviour is impossible to ignore if you’re even slightly open to seeing it.

But even though Jikook definitely interested me, I wasn’t very emotionally invested. Even so, I kind of feared being wrong and completely misunderstanding the situation.

(Which is always a possibility when we have only a part of the information, only some of the puzzle pieces of a much larger picture. And as much as BTS has shared with their fans, especially in previous years, it’s really just pieces, most of which have been curated with the fans in mind. Also, confirmation bias is an extremely powerful thing).

So yeah, I was weary of believing anything fully, no matter what the truth appeared to be —retaining a healthy level of doubt, and all that. And I’m sure others can relate, because I know many Jikookers are very fearful of doing anything even comparable to delving into the delusional territory of, say, T**kookers.

But at some point I realised that my reasoning was utterly flawed. Like, I was so afraid of being irrational that it made me irrational? The way I would relate to Jikook was overly critical, shortsighted and ultimately embarrassingly imperceptive.

It all basically boils down to, well, precedent. Patterns of behaviour (it’s sounds so obvious, but I was kind of blind to the significance of this for a while so maybe others are, too).

Of course things change, circumstances change, people change, that’s the way of life. But things don’t happen as isolated incidents. This also pertains to Jikook. Not considering context, both immediate and preceding, is more likely to give you the wrong impression, than if you look at something through the lens of prior knowledge. That doesn’t automatically make you biased, nor your perception flawed.

So back to Jikook not hanging out (assumption) and therefore no longer being close (assumption based on an assumption). I’m not saying this absolutely can’t be the case, but I struggle to see why people are so quick to believe it when we have years of consistent patterns of behaviour that go against this.

Just take a step back, think ‘big picture.’ What do you think makes more sense:

1. That Jikook no longer spend time together, that once the solo chapter began they suddenly grew distant?

Or

2. That Jikook are probably meeting up as always, just without our knowledge, at a time when we see so little and when it is also to their benefit that they aren’t too closely associated?

That’s not even taking into account their many recent Vlive interactions, which are basically steeped in adoration.

My point is, I think some Jikookers are so concerned with keeping a rational attitude that they end up veering into irrational thinking. But there’s no need to complicate things, when you don’t get too hung up on the details the picture is really quite clear.

Also, on an unrelated note but not really at all, Letter exists —like, how amazing is that?
