ARMY = JUST A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES
TODAY I UNDERSTOOD VERY WELL , ITS NOT JIKOOK THEIR PROBLEM. ITS NOT HOMOPHOBIA THEIR PROBLEM, ITS NOT A SHIP BEJNG REAL THEIR PROBLEM, ITS NOT JK BEING THEIR PROBLEM, ITS NOT JK BEING USED AS A SHIPPING TOOL THEIR PROBLEM, NOT JKS CAREER BEING IN DANGER THEIR PROBLEM
It's jimin , YS SADLY JIMIN IS THEIR PROBLEM
THEY ONLY MAKE HASHTAGS AND TRENDS WHEN JIMIN IS INVLOVED, ITS JIMIN INTERA TING WITH JK THEIR PROBLEM , ITS JIMIN THE ONE JK LOVES IS THEIR PROBLEM, ITS JIMIN WHOS APPRECIATED BY OTHERS IS THEIR PROBLEM, ITS JIMIN COMING 1 IN BRAND REPUTATION THEIR PROBLEM
Jimin is the one they can't stand so attacking him mercilessly and attacking his intercations with his members
Someone said: "it must be nice not to report a ton of the accounts every time your ship interacts." and I felt that. This has become a pattern, and it worsens every day. We are tired. Lately, solo stans trend "Free JK" and Taekook shippers help them, every time Jikook breathe. But it doesn't happen when any other ship that includes JK, interacts. You believe this is because of Jimin, and I partly agree. The hate toward him has become so mainstream in this fandom, and haters are not even afraid to show their anger toward him no matter what he does or doesn't. He literally gets hate for breathing and existing, and Jikook is just one of the reasons.
Also, Jikookers complain and make a fuss every time Taekook interacts by saying stuff like: "where is the energy when this and that happened." "Jk looks uncomfortable." "They are distant." which I know is a kind of revenge against Taekookers, but it is shady toward Tae and also JK. Of course, these don't come from big accounts most of the time, but it happens, and no one can deny it.
These only happen when Jikook or Taekook interact. When Vmin have cute moments, Jikookers and Taekookers cheer for them and call them married, not a single soul gets mad or shades them. For example, in this episode of ITS, Jihope had sweet moments, and no one called them uncomfortable, no one trended "free Hobi", no one felt insecure. Everyone enjoyed it.
So, the problem is not just Jimin and not just JK. The problem is when these two interact with each other. The problem IS still homophobia. They feel uncomfortable by their interactions because they can see it's different, and they don't want it to be true.
They prefer something that doesn't trigger their homophobia, and they make the rest of the story in their own minds. They are so used to their imaginations that they can't handle Jikook. Jikook's interactions (even without excessive touchiness) are too real and too straightforward that don't give them any space, and they use the hate as a defense mechanism against it.

I forgot to mention why Jungkook was stopping at 1:23 with his Twitter posts. Simply, that’s because 1:23 represents... Jimin.
In 2014, Jimin wrote in his profile, BTS’s “Just One Day” MV at 1:23 represents him, and that’s him doing the turn.
Another hint that Jungkook gave out was he recommended a song by IU called “Beautiful Dancer”, and he specifically wrote in his Twitter post to listen starting at 1:23... Odd, right? When you watch IU’s MV, the song is about a contemporary dancer, and who is our contemporary dancer? Yes, none other than Jimin. The lyrics at 1:23 goes like this, “You can do your dance. A dance that is only yours. It’s okay if it’s not the best, Beautiful Dancer”... Like how obvious ?
That’s why when I saw Jungkook’s Twitter posts with those lyrics in 2016... It broke my heart a little. Just to show you how much they love each other... this isn’t some fan service...
I already talked about this in my previous post but many JiKook shippers believe that around Sept-Oct of 2016, Jikook had some relationship problems. And we know that there were many Jealous Jungkook (Jeonlous) moments from that period.
During this period, the first song ( Bolbbalgan4 - Hard to love) Jungkook posted stops at 1:23 that says “Please come back to me”. The song also goes “Why did you act this way? I wanted to ask you. Did you ever love me? If so, why did you hug me that way? And why did you cherish me that much?” (that’s Jimin he is talking about) “Why am I always like this, unable to say a word?” (that’s JK, alright).
The second song (Yoon Jong-Shin and Minseo’s called First) also captured at 1:23, which basically states “I’m sorry, I’m at fault for not believing in you”. And look at how the lyrics kept mentioning “it was the first time for me”, cause we all know Jimin is JK’s first love. My heart cried a little at “when you held my hand like it was more precious than a gem/jewel” because I can literally picture JM holding JK’s hand like that~
I am so glad that their relationship seems to be more stable now... their eyes and faces just beaming with love and affection. And there are just so many other hints thrown to us by JiKook... many already discussed here on Tumblr like GCF film, their flirty V Lines, couple twitter posts... etc. And the infamous V Line Osaka ( like you cannot unhear Jimin yelling when V left that room).
I’ve been a Kpop fan since 2008 starting with TVXQ, 2pm, EXO, etc... and never have I seen anything like this before. JiKook are both very passionate and genuine people so they are very open about their love and affection...it’s like they physically and emotionally can not hide that even in front of camera...
Another important thing is, it seems like Jikook WANTS us to know about them. They are certainly not hiding, they want the world to know. That’s why they keep dropping all these obvious hints. And that really surprises me, but worries me a lot too. I often see Rapmon and Suga being visibly uncomfortable and legit kinda pissed off about Jikook not being able to control themselves... It also breaks my heart knowing that Korea is not going to accept them for who they are. They are legit the first visibly closeted “gay” Kpop idol couple that I know of... (there are pretty obvious closeted gay idols but I don’t know of a couple). So the question is, how do we protect them... what to do with Korea’s homophobia? because it’s really bad still.
All of this is analysis is from KoOkmin World2′s One in a milion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGNQ6nXETOs&t=422s. The best Jikook channel! Another Jikook Youtube account I like is Filha de Jikook. they should be hired by the FBI... they are so good!

Jungkook and His Cover Songs: Is “10000 Hours” about Jimin?
Disclaimer: The following post includes theories, lyric and numeric analysis, plus my personal opinions, so please don’t take anything seriously. I’m too lazy to upload photos and videos for the moments I mentioned here, but I’m sure you know about them all. Any Jikooker must know. And I’m not Korean or a Korean culture expert, I just know as much as any Stan Twitter ARMY knows about their culture.
Anyone?
Maybe one of the biggest Jikook moments of 2021 so far, is where Jimin jumped into Jungkook’s hug, in Lee Hyun’s Vlog. But the other moment on that Vlog was even more significant; Jungkook was singing “Anyone” from Justin Bieber’s new album, and Jimin was harmonizing with him while holding on his shirt. I don’t want to mention their interview moment singing “Peaches” because I know this song is super popular in South Korea right now and somehow it doesn’t count as a moment. But it’s safe to say that Jikook has something special with his songs, and JK in particular always was invested in him.
JK & JB
The reason behind Jungkook’s devotion to Justin Bieber was always a big question for me, and I got my answer not long time ago. Jungkook’s playlist for Melon Radio Station included a song from JB’s new album named “Lonely”. This is one of the most personal songs any artist can ever make, and JK recommended it to his audience. Here are the lyrics of “Lonely” by Justin Bieber:
Everybody knows my name now
But somethin' 'bout it still feels strange
Like lookin' in a mirror, tryna steady yourself
And seein' somebody else
And everything is not the same now
It feels like all our lives have changed
Maybe when I'm older, it'll all calm down
But it's killin' me now
What if you had it all, but nobody to call?
Maybe then you'd know me
'Cause I've had everything
But no one's listening
And that's just lonely
I'm so lonely, lonely
Everybody knows my past now
Like my house was always made of glass
And maybe that's the price you pay
For the money and fame at an early age
And everybody saw me sick
And it felt like no one gave
They criticized the things I did as an idiot kid
What if you had it all, but nobody to call?
Maybe then you'd know me
'Cause I've had everything
But no one's listening
And that's just lonely
These lyrics made me think of one specific thing, the thing that JK and JB have in common: They started their careers at a very young age, and their lives have been under the scrutiny of so many people. These people judged and criticized them but never tried to understand them. The lyrics are straightforward and leave no place for interpretation. By recommending this song, JK showed that he had (and probably still has) the same experiences in his life, and I think the reason he recommends or covers JB’s songs more than any other artist is that he has many things in common with him, and feels connected to his songs.
This can lead us to another theory: By covering a Justin Bieber song, Jungkook shares something about himself with us, something that he can’t express directly.
Jungkook is interested in JB’s songs, but he is not the only one. As I said earlier in this post, Jimin shares the same taste with Jungkook, and my receipt is not just that “Anyone” or “Peaches” harmonizing moments, but also Jimin’s Spotify playlists. Since 2017 (or earlier, I’m not sure about this part) he has added some JB songs to his official playlist, and even his current playlist (July 2021) has two JB songs. And also let’s not forget the fact that Jikook as a subunit started in 2014 with a JB cover. Yes, I’m talking about “Mistletoe” and as you may know, Jimin translated the lyrics of this song to Korean.
10000 Hours
Nearly 700 words and I haven’t started yet! The subject of this post was supposed to be the connections between “10000 hours” cover and Jikook but this prelude was necessary to clarify all the aspects of the topic and we find out how JB is special for JK and Jimin and how they (especially Jungkook) feel connected to him. Anyways, back to 10000 hours:
Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber released this Grammy winner song in October 2019. Here are the lyrics:
Do you love the rain, does it make you dance
When you're drunk with your friends at a party
What's your favorite song, does it make you smile
Do you think of me?
When you close your eyes, tell me, what are you dreamin'?
Everything, I wanna know it all
I'd spend ten thousand hours and ten thousand more
Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours
And I might never get there, but I'm gonna try
If it's ten thousand hours or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you
Do you miss the road that you grew up on?
Did you get your middle name from your grandma?
When you think about your forever now, do you think of me?
When you close your eyes, tell me, what are you dreamin'?
Everything, I wanna know it all
I'd spend ten thousand hours and ten thousand more
Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours
And I might never get there, but I'm gonna try
If it's ten thousand hours or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you
Ooh, want the good and the bad and everything in between
Ooh, gotta cure my curiosity
Ooh, yeah
I'd spend ten thousand hours and ten thousand more
Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that
Sweet heart of yours
And I might never get there, but I'm gonna try
If it's ten thousand hours or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you
And I'm gonna love you
As you can see, the lyrics are 100% romantic, and the singers including JB, have dedicated this song to their lovers. Also, their girlfriends/wives have a cameo in the MV, which leaves no place for speculation for the context of the song: Even though the uncertainties always exist and no one knows about the future, our love is strong and will stay strong regardless of time.
The Cover and the Theories
Nearly one year later, on July 28th, 2020, Jungkook surprised ARMYs with a short video he tweeted at 11:56 AM. That video was a 49 seconds cover of 10000 hours. A few minutes later, he deleted the tweet (apparently with the advertisement excuses, because it was tweeted from an iPhone and they have a contract with Samsung). Later that night, Jungkook released the full version on Sound Cloud and tweeted the link at 11:47 PM.
Jikookers discovered numerous theories that day about the times of both tweets; if you add the digits of the time, the result is “13” for both tweets 1+1+4+7=13, 1+1+5+6=13, and as you already know “13” is Jikook’s magic number. Also, the first video he tweeted was 49 seconds and 4+9=13. But in my opinion, this theory is not strong. I know that numerology is very popular in Korean culture but still, all of this can be coincidences, but the other things I’m going to bring up are most likely not.
28th July 2020 was the 7th anniversary of the first Jikook selca posted after debut. This also might be a coincidence and to be honest, it cannot be a strong link to make a connection with Jikook, but worths sharing.
The next thing that many Jikookers also pointed out, was related to the title of the song. The lyrics say “10000 hours and 10000 more” and 20000 hours after the 28th of July is 8th November 2022. As you may know. Jikookers believe November 8th is a significant date for Jikook. I believe this can be a coincidence either, and it’s very unlikely of Jungkook to do such calculations (Koreans are interested in numbers when it comes to days and dates, but counting hours is not usual in any culture. Other than that, I’m still doubtful about the origins of the November 8th theory because we have nothing other than two tweets and G.C.F Tokyo release date and their hotel room in Tokyo which still can be coincidental). But I don’t deny these theories because even as a coincidence, it’s still very interesting.
And the next theory is connected to the “Red Moon”. On 27th July 2018, a total lunar eclipse happened all over the world, which became known as the red moon. At that time, BTS were in Malta, and on the same night, Jikook were watching the red moon on a boat. They shared plenty of photos and videos of that moment and I’m sure as a Jikooker you have seen them all and you know that night had a very romantic mood (BigHit words, not mine) for Jikook. So, a second anniversary for that night and the day after that night can be a significant date to release a very romantic cover. Is this a coincidence too? I think we had many of them already.
And last but not least is something connected to Korean culture. You probably know that 1000 days anniversaries are very important for Koreans and they celebrate them along with real anniversaries of the important dates in their lives. And guess what? 27th July 2020 is 1000 days after 31 October 2017. This day is the day Jikook’s travel to Tokyo ended and they posted their couply mirror selca on Twitter with flower bouquet emoji. Despite the one-day difference (the same case for the red moon anniversary), this is not a minor event or small coincidence. I believe Jungkook posted “10000 hour” cover for this reason and based on this, the other theories I mentioned earlier can be true either.
The lyrics hit different if you read them again, after knowing this fact. Right? I don’t want to make this post much longer but before wrapping up, I want to talk about the lyrics of “Anyone” by JB (the song Jikook were harmonizing in Lee Hyun’s Vlog):
Dance with me under the diamonds
See me like breath in the cold
Sleep with me here in the silence
Come kiss me, silver and gold
You say that I won't lose you
But you can't predict the future
So, just hold on like you will never let go
Yeah, if you ever move on without me
I need to make sure you know that
You are the only one I'll ever love
(I gotta tell ya, gotta tell ya)
Yeah, you, if it's not you, it's not anyone
(I gotta tell ya, gotta tell ya)
Looking back on my life
You're the only good I've ever done (ever done)
Yeah, you, if it's not you, it's not anyone (anyone)
Not anyone
Forever's not enough time to (oh)
Love you the way that I want (love you the way that I want)
'Cause every morning I find you (oh)
I fear the day that I don't
You say that I won't lose you
But you can't predict the future
'Cause certain things are out of our control
Yeah, if you ever move on without me
I need to make sure you know that
You are the only one I'll ever love
Only one (I gotta tell ya, gotta tell ya)
Yeah, you, if it's not you it's not anyone
(I gotta tell ya, gotta tell ya)
Looking back on my life
You're the only good I've ever done (I've ever done)
Yeah, you, if it's not you, it's not anyone
It's not anyone, not anyone
Oh, oh, oh, oh
If it's not you, it's not anyone
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, whoa
Yeah, you are the only one I'll ever love
(I gotta tell ya, gotta tell ya)
Yeah, you, if it's not you, it's not anyone
(I gotta tell ya, gotta tell ya) gotta tell ya
Looking back on my life
You're the only good I've ever done (ever done, oh, yeah)
Yeah, you, if it's not you, it's not anyone
If you read the lyrics, you will notice that the context is very similar to “10000 hours”. It talks about the uncertainties of a beautiful love or in other words: No matter what the future brings to us, this love will last forever.
This context of uncertainty and unknown future for a romance is a common concept in many of the songs Jungkook has covered and it’s not limited to the Justin Bieber covers he has done and maybe this concept can be the topic for my next analysis.
