GCF in Budapest
I have thoughts... but first a link, please have your own first impressions without any influence.
So...I don't know what it has been about the Golden promo period but there's literally nothing that hasn't given me mixed feelings. Nothing that I absolutely love or hate and this GCF is right along with it. And overall, that just makes me sad. I spent years being excited for whatever JK would finally give us if he ever did a proper solo project and I'm just kinda bummed overall.
What did I love?
'Directed by Jung Kook'.
Seeing JK when he's more playful. Always a serotonin boost!
JKs camera work, I just love the insight he has on camera placement and framing to help tell the story he wants to tell.
Yes or No. Still the only track I actually love from Golden so it's nice to hear it featured!
What bothered me?
'Edited by HYBE'. Bro... so much of GCF's charm and storytelling comes from the edit itself. (And not to nitpick but HYBE is a company...not an editor, so this means there were either multiple editors, or they're purposely trying to not have us associate any actual humans with this film other than JK. I also think they want ARMY to use the logic that HYBE is basically BTS and thus this work is basically completely JK's too... it's not, it's definitely not).
No English subs yet. I get it, I really do but it's a bummer.
The amount of camerawork by someone else. It's not uncommon for JK to include footage with someone else holding the camera but once we get to the gym scenes, the majority is from the perspective of someone else holding the camera, not JK. Which again, there's nothing wrong with that per se but it absolutely feels more like a bangtan bomb or episode rather than a GCF. This is also when we stop getting establishing shots and B roll. Again, nothing wrong with it but that's one of the fundamentals of a GCF for me.
There was so much dialogue that the song was interrupted pretty continuously. JK did that previously as a storytelling device which just further supports the feeling that this is bangtantv content and not a GCF.
Basically, I think I would have had very little issue with this if it wasn't packaged as a GCF. It feels a whole lot more like JK's camping vlog from a few years ago. Loved that, had no issues with it whatsoever.
...the irony is not lost on me that the only song from Golden that I love is Yes or No while my overall experience with this era is....maybe??
I totally agree with you regarding JK’s solo area, and it makes me a bit sad because I had been waiting for his first solo album for years. Now that his promo has ended, I realize nothing about it has got me truly excited. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it. For the most part I found it underwhelming. I haven’t been able to watch today’s concert yet though, I was busy at work unfortunately so I’ll try to catch up soon but it’s less fun not watching it in real time.
About GCF, to me it almost felt like watching a random YouTuber’s vlog and I find that meh. The whole point of GCF for me was that it was JK’s doing the editing on top of the filming but something is lacking now. It’s like they stripped GCF of its substance, as you said it could have been labeled as a Bangtan Vlog and I wouldn’t really have seen a difference. What I was expecting for this solo is to see the world through JK’s eyes and it hasn’t happened unfortunately. But I’m hopeful he’ll grow as an artist and come back with something more personal in the future. That being said he’s an amazing singer, his voice was really what stand out to me in this area!
Thank you anon! It's nice to know I'm not the only one! I've felt just so CONFLICTED this era. I YEARNED for JKs music for so long and now that we have it....hmmmm...I'm reminded why I try not to have expectations.
I honestly don't know if I'd feel better if I actively disliked everything so far because at least that would mean I felt SOMETHING about it all. It's just been so....meh.
Oh well, maybe when there's not so much 'pressure' and 'expectation' on him, we'll get more of what we've had a taste of.
Honestly, this whole GCF issue very likely just has a root cause of time. They clearly wanted it to release when it did but he's had a very full schedule and wasn't able to get the footage he usually would have or spend the time editing. I do wonder if he got the edit started though. The beginning is very much his style.
7:19 AM:
It was Jungkook's idea to go to the beach so early in the morning. Honestly, any other time you would immediately turn down the offer of waking up so early instead of getting a good sleep, but you and your boyfriend were on vacation and you knew how important it was to him that you document your time there, especially because you might never be back here again.
Thailand was amazing, obviously, and you still refuse to believe that it actually exists on earth, but it was HOT. Especially in August.
Jungkook has been filming for the last two hours, starting with the golden sunrise, to the crabs, the sailboats gliding peacefully in the crystal clear water, the pigeons flying in the cloudless sky, and you.
You tried to help him out at the start, but there was nothing you could tell him that he didn't know, so after a while you left him and went to sit on the soft beach blanket you had brought with you, eating pieces of watermelon and pineapple Jungkook had sliced beforehand and admiring the view of the tropical paradise you were in.
It was too hot, despite it being early and you wearing nothing except a white net dress over a bright yellow bikini, so you eventually move to the water, and now you're sitting in the warm shallow water, the half top of your body in the humid air.
You stare fondly at your boyfriend, who's currently walking towards you with a small smile of his own, his shirtless chest making you smirk slightly as he joins you in the water, wrapping his strong arms around your waist loosely.
"Finally", you huff, pretending to be annoyed, but you can't hide the smile tugging at your lips at the sight of your lover's wide bunny grin, wrapping your own arms around his neck.
"Sorry, love", Jungkook says gently, always apologising even when he knows you're joking, and he tucks a strand of hair behind your ear before leaning down to press a shy kiss against your mouth, soft and warm.
"I'm really glad we did this", you say sincerely, leaning your head against Jungkook's shoulder and breathing in the smell of cologne and ocean that came from your boyfriend's skin.
"It's going to turn out beautiful", you say confidently, leaning back to cup Jungkook's face and press another brief kiss to his squished lips.
The look Jungkook gives you after you kiss is so loving it makes you blush, your eyes unable to hold his and falling instead to the small waves hitting your conjoined bodies.
"Of course it's going to turn out beautiful", Jungkook says, smooth fingers tilting your chin up so your eyes meet once again, his chocolate orbs melting your insides so easily even after all this time. "It has you in it".
You wince slightly at the cheesy comment, raising a teasing eyebrow at your boyfriend. "Thailand really changed you, huh?", you joke, giggling when Jungkook pouts cutely, bottom lip jutted out.
"Hey, I'm always romantic", he argues, a soft blush covering the top of his cheeks as you laugh, kissing his nose twice, just because you can.
Jungkook looks even more offended by your sweet gestures, and he grabs you by your waist, picking you up bridal style and making you shriek in surprise, tightening your hold around him.
"Okay, Okay, I'm sorry, don't throw me", you plead, hanging onto Jungkook for dear life as he laughs his ass off at your measly attempts to stay dry.
Jungkook hums in consideration, and you let out a sigh of relief when he finally shrugs. "Okay, I won't".
You're about to say thank you, ready for your boyfriend to put you down safely on the soft sand underneath you, when he jumps with you still in his arms into the water, letting out a laugh of victory when you let out a scream of protest, thrashing against Jungkook's sturdy figure as you both dive into the cool water.
You let out a laugh of disbelief when you both emerge from the water, sending a splash of water towards Jungkook's face, which was pretty useless considering he was completely soaked anyway.
Jungkook doesn't seem bothered at all by the weak slaps against hiscchest, still cackling loudly when he reaches out to catch your wrists, pulling you until you topple against him and leaning down to kiss you, slow and sweet, until your whole body is burning despite the cold water covering you.
You think you would spend forever with Jungkook in this exact moment.
reminder that every time jimin smiled at the camera, he didn’t know that he was smiling for anyone other than jungkook
