I Honestly Love This Aspect Of Jimin So Much.

I honestly love this aspect of Jimin so much.

Thoughts on jimins comment about fan service and being idols? I think I’m confused because I’m not sure what it meant!

Hey, what do you think of jimin talking about bromance? I don't really understand what he meant.

Hi! Here are some translations of what he said:

(continuation of the tweet above)

Though it's not explained, that's the video with subs.

I think there's not much to discuss and it's something he said as a fact about himself so it should be taken that way.

In other ways, he doesn't pretend to be extra affectionate, he doesn't like interacting in ways that are not natural for him and his relationships with the other members.

I think he was joking that what Jin did was forced or unnatural, because he said "I hate this type of stuff"

And then he turned around and put a hand on Jin's shoulder while saying "even though we're idols / of course we're idols" like it's okay bro, like he understood that Jin would do that because it's their job as idols but he didn't quite agree with Jin lmao.

Jin stuttered and went like "I don't know what to say, there was something in your face and I had to take it" LOLL

So I think Jimin was joking with Jin, as if calling him out for doing "fanservice", for the "bromance" moment, but simultaneously he was stating a truth about himself: he hates when an interaction is forced.

(That was my interpretation yesterday and I even told a friend about it and now I see that the translator dalloga interpreted it the same way today 😌 me, not knowing Korean: wow I know so much Korean).

It's not the first time he says something like that. This is from some years ago, a conversation with a fan during a fansign.

He's also mentioned a lot of times that he hates lies and liars and he doesn't lie. Everything is coherent about who he is, tbh. I personally have never been one to believe he leaves a lot of room for misunderstanding about who he is and what he stands for.

And I think about a behind the scenes clip while they're filming the dynamite performance for the VMAs 2020 and he's play fighting JK and telling him "why would you lie". Also his birthday live when he called out JK when he said that his gift was on a boat over there and then with the cake 🤣 it's small things, but yeah. He has made himself clear on what he thinks about pretending/lying.

It also comes to mind something that he said in early 2020:

I know he doesn't sit in a corner in the dark to cry about what shippers say about him, but if he really is in a relationship with JK and he knows what people say about him and his interactions with JK, hats off to him honestly. I would've started ignoring my partner at the first 10 comments and I know so many of us would do the same because we wouldn't bare the hate.

I kind of agree with anon about Taekook being pretty much irrelevant when it comes to so called threats compared other pairings in BTS. Although, frankly speaking, none of the bonds between any of the members should be considered a threat to Jungkook and Jimin’s relationship because it’s not like anyone’s looking to take one of their place in the other’s affections. That’s just silly. Jungkook and Jimin have consistently demonstrated a closeness that is pretty much incomparable even within the already uncommonly close group. What is there really to be threatened by? And even if Jimin or Jungkook suddenly grew close to someone else, why should that necessarily affect their relationship with each other?

That said, I do think Jimin and Hoseok have considerable chemistry and there is clear mutual admiration and affection there. They’re probably the only duo other than Jikook who sometimes give me that third wheeling feeling as a viewer. If I was into real person shipping, I might be a jihope shipper. 😂 Realizing this about myself actually kind of strengthened my conviction regarding Jimin and Jungkook being a couple. You see, sometimes I worry about just seeing what I want to see and having everything that seems to support that be confirmation bias. The fact that Jihope appeals to me makes me think that, if I really was just being delulu, wouldn’t I also think jihope might be real in the romantic couple sense? And I don’t, no matter how adorable or hot I find them.

What do you think about sexual tension between jihope?

Hear me out insecure jikookers you all are being insecure over the wrong ship, so so wrong ship omg.

Like, yeah I get that both Jimin and Hobi are insanely hot sexy and confident performers so it's natural that they tend to have this chemistry when on stage. Actually, It shows how much they trust each other, how close they are. Not to mention that they both are extremely touchy men and everything but damn sometimes they make me go all blushy. Remember the bathtub scene at BV? wtf

I always try to be impartial and unbiased, with jikook even more so as genuine belief in something unconfirmed tend to lead to delusion but it's hard to ignore that jihope have that weird atmosphere around them sometimes

Personally, I don't see it. For me Jimin likes to flirt so to speak with Hobi because he knows Hobi will be surprised, Hobi almost always ends up with an expression saying 'what the hell are you doing Jimin...'. They are pretty touchy but the vibe I've always seen is from a platonic point of view.

Jimin and Hobi know each other very well, they spent years sharing a room, so I think there's an extra level of trust and comfort between them and Jungkook as well in fact. I think that's why we've heard stories of the three of them spending some of their free time together.

Hello Euna! Please give us some insight into how bad k-army are freaking out right now ahahaha

Ahahahahahaha.... rose bowl? Hickeygate? It's almost 3am in Korea right now and over 800 people are still tuned in to a Twitter space talking about Kookmin.

"질투하는거예요 지금? 질투 하세요! 전 지미니 계속 잡겠습니다 - 에베붸뷉베부에ㅔ" Are you jealous right now? Be jealous! I'll continue holding on to Jiminie [teasing noises]"

^ Another legendary moment for the KM annals.... Just JK straightforwardly making a declaration with no extra explanation needed.

I love Jimin’s face so much that I find it beyond adorable when he does anything with it. I think I love the scrunched up face the most but the pout is 👌 too. How can anyone be so ridiculously cute, sexy, handsome and beautiful at the same damn time, all the time? Is he real?

❤️

The attitude 🔥🔥🔥

💀💀💀

Hi Euna, hope you're doing well! I had a question regarding JK's response "그럼요", which translates to 'of course', to the ig comment asking to kidnap JM. I saw many k-kookminers react to this with vids of JK boxing & such, it gave me the implication that perhaps JK responded in sort of a challenging/sarcastic way? I had also looked up the phrase & found that "그럼요" could either mean 'of course' or 'of course not' depending on the question asked. I was wondering if you could explain this more?

Hello anon!

There's a lot of different ways to express the affirmative, "of course" meaning in Korean (그럼요, 당연하죠, 물론이죠, etc). They each mean similar things, but the tone/force that they give off are all slightly different. Out of those, 그럼요 comes across as having a more relaxed (the word I want to use here is "여유로운") tone. Which is why it lends itself to a more sarcastic, jokey feeling and why a lot of k-kookminers interpreted it as a challenging — "Sure you can take him. If you can get through me" — kind of way.

Overall, I feel like tone is one of the biggest things that gets lost with translation. While 'of course' is the correct translation, it inevitably falls a bit short of conveying the nuances of how 그럼요 can come across and be received. This kind of gap makes it possible for there to be misunderstandings, but I hope that it's abundantly clear that in this situation, JK was giving faux permission to a fan in an obviously joking manner.
