I was going through my twitter bookmarks and I found that moment (I believe it was in their ‘Most Beautiful Moment in Life’ era?) where Hobi delicately touched Jungkook’s cheek, his shy reaction is the cutest thing ever so I had to share this

I pointlessly crunched some numbers like a total nerd.
I factored: albums, Festa photoshoots, Winter and Summer Package photoshoots.
I defined a subunit photoshoot as a non-candid photoshoot where other subunits are clearly defined, usually in a 4 & 3 or 2, 2 & 3 configuration.
✌ Based on above, there were a total of 79 seperate official company photoshoots featuring a duo.
✌ There were 59 other photoshoots where the groupings are trios or quartets. I could analyse these and might still do that but just for transparency, Taekook were in 9 of these bigger groupings together.
✌ There is one instance of a 5 and 2 arrangement. The quintet was all but Namkook who did their own shoot. That made me giggle.
✌ The most photographed subunit is Vmin with six instances.
✌ Jikook, Taegi, Namkook and Vhope following with five each.
✌ Taejoon, Yoonmin, Taejin, Namgi and Jinkook all had four.
✌ Hopekook, Sope and Namjin had three.
✌ Taekook have two. They were in 2015 and 2016. They are tied with Jin and Yoongi.
✌ The least photographed are 2seok, Yoonkook, Namseok, Minimoni and Jinmin with only one instance each.
✌ The rapline don't have any official subunit photos in this selection. Nor do the Maknae line or the hyung line.
Interesting! I think I expected Taegi to be all my imagination so that's a nice surprise, I love them as a duo.
If you can think of another source of company content photos that I haven't included, I'd be really interested to know so I can add it. Or if you want to know something specific, I can do my best to pull it out of my spreadsheet. YEAH I DID A SPREADSHEET!
Edit: Thank you @stupendousfoxthing for pointing out BTS World in 2019. I missed this but I can't seem to find a full list of photos to be able to pull numbers from it unless I search by pairing. But I know from a quick google that you can add one to Taekook, Jikook and Vmin at least.
Alrighty y’all! I’m reaching out again to see if anyone wants to rp :) I have time to do so during the week and weekends (if I’m not out and about) and I work from home so I can keep up. Here’s a couple plots that I’m interested in, along with members
Idol Verse
Idol x Oc (There’s a couple ideas I have with this one lol)
Plot One: Jimin and oc are childhood friends and are pretty much inseparable. Before he officially became an idol, she was a casual Youtuber, just filming them together hanging out or talking about things. As he officially became an idol, she got to witness all of it, making her become more popular among the fanbase. They grow together in their careers and their relationship. They started dating right after his performance with BTS and now Jimin wants to propose, while they go to Dubai for their summer package (so 2016 BTS).
Plot Two: Yoongi and oc met while she was recording covers of some of her favorite songs one day. He had stuck around, liking what he was hearing and wanted to work with her, just to see how they’d fit together. Not only did the two like how they did work together, but it also sparked something between them.
Fantasy and Kingdom AUs
Fallen Angel (Taehyung) x oc (I still love this one so I’m open to it)
King Yoongi (Inspired by Daechwita) x Princess ~Future Queen~ Oc
Prince (Member) x Mermaid oc (One of my favorites)
Other AUs
Jimin x Oc (Based off I Need U): They both come from troubled families, which made him leave during their freshman year, leaving her behind. Years later, he comes back for her, to get her out of her situation.
Lol I wasn't trying to pick a fight. When I said poorly done edits I meant by bighit editors like teleporting them and stuff 😆. I was really curious as to what made you believe in them because sometimes you have good knck of analysis that so many things makes sense. I just wanted to know if you havediff perspective. You also said in one anons ask that you prefer concrete evidence so thought I'll ask.
No worries I get sometimes it's hard to explain our beliefs.
Hi, thanks for clarifying what you meant. And yes the BigHit editors are notorious, lol, particularly pre-2020.
Whilst I can't pinpoint the moment, as it took place over several months of realising that this ship was real, I can say 2018 as a whole and what I observed was probably the key era. There are several things, when added up, started to solidify in my mind there relationship was probably more than just friends...
The Namsen Hotel Date
Taekook on 26th January were photographed at the restaurant of a Namsen hotel, about 10 mins aware from their Dorm at the time, they were along. In order to book at the hotel, reservations most be done in advance. Two months later, Jimin said this in a magazine interview:
Dispatch, Contract negotiations and the rumour of a gay couple, 2 years apart in age from the same top idol group
Back in 2016, a rumour emerged of a high profile idol group had a couple where the two were 2 years apart in age, that in Dispatch's 2017, would be the annual couple revealed by them. After this, Taekook were clearly being separated and content edited to show them as not being close. The rumour re-emerged in 2018, just as BTS's contract renewal/possibly disbandment was happening. All those rumours disappeared once the contract was renewed, and it appeared that Dispatch had a special arrangement with BTS for exclusive content. But here's the thing everytime Dispatched published anything about BTS, the featured photo would always be Taekook. And let us not forget the instagram post when Dispatched use the love hearts and the gay male couple emojis with a photo of Taekook...
Yoongi's Text to just them and the way the members talked about and treated them
During Festa 2018 (then again in a Japanese TV show, Taekook talk about receiving same a long message from Yoongi telling them he loves them. They were together when reading and supposed both cried. I found it very strange that Yoongi would need to send them both the same message unless it directly related to both of them.

Another thing that happen this year was the constant way the members would push them together, or mentioned them as being the same or different that the rest of the members, and only share playlists with each other and not the group...
Summer Package, Bon Voyage 3 & GCF
Summer Package and Saipan GCF, showed a very clingy Taekook, Tae wanting JK to do the same thing as him. The fact they went for an early morning stroll on the beach in pyjamas to film part of the GCF (something of a recurring them for them in both In the Soop and a private holiday. The, summer package was when JK challenged Tae when he called JK a friend (everything a little weird for a bit there).
Also let us not forget GCF Newark and vlive from the previous day that was suspicious.
Bon Voyage, was interesting, because 1 big thing happened at that time, Tae's grandfather passed away shortly before filming, and was the reason for his absence. Whilst, Tae was not there JK was constantly on his phone, when he arrived in Malta we barely saw it again. Then of course JK (and the teams) not so subtle way of allowing Tae to share with JK, in a double bed. There were weird things happening, like the ever depleted toilet tissue and JK's weird way of waking up, like he had something on his fingers, the cuddling and how the members tried to make a joke of it but it was not really working. Things were just odd. Then of course were the hidden moments not in BV3, like Taekook going for a stroll together and two bodyguards, only to be stopped by a Red Bull van, or the moonlight walk and drinks that only Taekook appeared to do together.
The two Taekook kisses and general clinginess.
Kiss 1 the concert nape kiss:
JK's reaction was interesting...
youtube
Then you have the exclusive fan content cheek kisses:
youtube
The reaction and what the members say is interesting, as it seems that do this sort of thing a lot in the dorm and they are also concern if they are allowed to do this...
youtube
Also this year, Taekook became very clingy...
Like I said, not one thing but many that make me think... yep a couple.
About the Concrete Evidence
Regarding, concrete evidence, perhaps "concrete" isn't the correct word to use and maybe "actual" is better. All fans and shippers who create content (outside of fan fiction, of course), will focus that content on what they love. Taekookers focus the content on Tae and JK, Jikookers on JK and Jimin etc... sometimes to the point of editing out other people and additional context that gives you a bigger picture to what you're seeing.
That is why, whenever I watch a Taekook Analysis or Compilation Video, see a post on Tumblr or a Tweet that says/shows something, I'm aware that what I may be seeing is not be the whole picture or context.
So I try best to find and watch the original video, photo or tweet etc, without a Taekook fan's focus on it, so I can see the full context of what they're trying to say.
I would tell anyone to do the same with anything Taekook/BTS related posted on here. Don't just take my word for it, do your own research and make up your own mind.
Just gonna leave this here for the wanna-be dietitians, the fake concerned anons (we know ya'll are antis looking for validation, Martha, stfu), the ones that "get triggered" about these topics ONLY when its about Jimin.
[In case you're wondering which variety show OP is referring to. I do think they are confusing "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator" where JinMin went together---and the BS&T diet was brought up---with Baek Jong Won’s Top 3 Chef King (both shows happened in 2017), where Jin and apparently Jhope? went together, and Jin confessed to having this diet where he ONLY ate 2 packages of chicken breasts (each package had 2 servings) per day FOR A YEAR in order to loose weight until he gave up since he didn’t feel well.]
Another not-so-gentle reminder that Tae mentioned that he was told to loose weight before this recent photoshoot and showed pics on IG of what he ate. But armys weren't concerned, instead they praised him "for his efforts" & "working hard".
JK only drank water for a couple of weeks & worked out like crazy prior to some of the last concerts to the point that RM was worried and talked about it on vlive, but everyone just said "aw, poor kookie" and moved on. Not to mention that RM got DRAGGED for even daring to talk about "JK's weight" when its "none of his business". (don't even get me started on Butter era and that one diet that none of the members knew about and found out during vlive also...)
Jhope didn't eat or sleep properly before Lollapalooza due to stress, too much pressure and whatnot. You could literally SEE how bad he looked in many of the photo updates he put up on ig and weverse. But guess what? No one cared about that "cause he was gonna KILL IT at "Hobipalooza", "The FIRST and ONLY bts member to do so", "What a LEGEND". (And if you look at pics of him a week or two AFTER lollapalooza he STILL looked so skinny you could make out the bones on his arm. Just look up the pics of when he and RM went to see Billie Eillish’s concert).
Even after he himself talked about it on his live and how he only came to eat his first meal when Jimin went to support him. AND EVEN THEN, all you saw in the comments & social media was:
"Aww Jiminie is such a good friend."
"Such an Angel"
"Jimin the best brother"
"Jimin the best human being"
"Be good, be like Jimin".
Oh but when Jimin is the one talking about loosing weight ('cause he gained a bit during the summer). THAT is when the narrative changes to:
"Oh he has an ED."
"He's always SO insecure about HIS BODY."
"Damn those fucking Korean beauty standards are BRUTAL--"
"He's falling back into bad habits."
"I wish i could shake him and scream in his face that he's perfect no matter what."
"Unbelievable, can he STOP?"
"Will somebody PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN??"
Okay so explain to me, how does he have an eat*ng d*sorder when we've seen tons of videos of him (and i'm only gonna count the fancams) since he went to Chicago for Lollapalooza all the way to LA, eating, drinking, feasting, having the time of his life next to Staff members, celebs, producers all summer long.
(The ONLY time we actually saw him "holding back" on eating too much was during the VHopeMinKook live and it was because of Jungkook since allegedly they were gonna eat together after JK came back from working out-post-concert)
Oh no, but suddenly he has a non-existent ED for wanting to loose the weight he gained during the summer. (because he DID mentioned earlier that he gained a bit back then, but like.... that's all of us? We all gained weight during summer lol Even I'm trying to loose the 5 pounds I gained).
Bottom line is... he's a grown ass man (almost 27 was it?), its HIS body, he knows what he's doing and WHY he's doing it. This isn't 2016, the circumstances are NOT the same compared to back then and we need to let that shit GO!
FOR GOOD.
If you really are this easily triggered by someone else actions about THEIR image and body, then maybe its time YOU stood away from social media and get REAL HELP, for YOURSELF.
