Taekook 💯💯

BTS comeback vlive -

Tae comments that 300-400 people were able to see them in person, while 4.3 million weren’t able (the ones watching the vlive in real time). As he makes this joke, Jk starts laughing, nose crinkling, before Tae has finished his joke. The other members join in laughing after Jk. Jk looks at Tae endeared.

Joon mentions the big content for festa hasn’t been released yet. Tae approaches Joon to quietly talk about it, and Jk quickly sits up and leans into Joon on seeing Tae approaching. Taekook whisper with Joon to determine what he’s talking about.

Jk suggests the members listen to the demo CD in Proof. Jk mentions he’s thinking about uploading the guide to “Run BTS”. Tae, understanding what Jk is talking about, laughs and claps, pointing to Jk and saying “the intro”. Jk laughs and wrinkles his nose again.

Tae continues on, telling Jk he needs “to do this at the beginning”. Jk understands what Tae is hinting at and they both start laughing, Jk clapping. Jin and Hobi laugh with the duo.

On Melon, released the same day, we found out Tae hopes one day ARMY will be able to hear Jk’s guide of “Run BTS”. Tae is fond of Jk’s guide!

Taekook are confirmed to have eaten together at a Korean 焼肉 style restaurant, Ahgassi Gopchang, while in LA, multiple times pre COVID. I don’t have a better time frame on dates so I will place it on the date the information has been released. Jk and Jin also visited the restaurant together on another occasion, according to OP. For me, this is credible because the restaurant is a known popular eatery for BTS (in fact, my friend and I were going to eat there during LA PTD 2021 but didn’t have time), so the staff know the members, plus the staff noting that Taekook had visited separate from BTS, as had Jinkook, gives further credibility. Also, factoring in Namsan and Atomix (among other examples), we know Taekook enjoy sharing meals together. The OP who provided the information took pictures where the staff said Taekook sat.

Original post -

the Google translation isn’t very good but here it is -

I can read some of the Japanese (some of the kanji I’m still not familiar with). I’m not going to break all of it down but a couple things to point out.

In the original post, the yellow circled part indicates where OP asked about Taekook.てひょとじょぐが2人だけでがここに来たことありますか？

てひょ = Tehyo (aka Tae)

と = and

じょぐ = Jogu (aka Jk)

が = ga = particle marker

2人 = ni nin = two people

だけで = dake de = only

が = ga = particle marker

ここに = koko ni = here (to the restaurant)

来た = kita = came (past tense)

こと ありますか？ = koto arimasu ka = have you ever

Essentially, OP asked the 店員 (tenin / store clerk) if Tae and Jungkook had ever came here (to the restaurant) just the two of them, which was confirmed.

The orange circled part of the original post is 私らがおもってる以上にめっちゃ来てるみたい:

私ら = watashi ra (informal) = we

が = ga = particle marker

おもってる = omotteru = present progressive verb form of おもう(omou) = to think

以上 = I didn’t recognize the first kanji character, but I recognize the second 上 (typically used to mean up or above); so I did have to ask my tutor and my understanding is with the first kanji placed by it is it means “more than”.

めっちゃ = meccha - means to a great extent (its English equivalent would be - so, extremely, very), similar to using すごく(sugoku) or とても (totemo). Fun fact, this is informal slang and, from what my tutor has said in the past (she’s from the Osaka region) in Kansai ben (関西弁), it has a cultural nuance that can mean differently, which is why I tend to use すごくor とても personally 🤣For example, if I were to say “this is so/very/extremely tasty” (これはめっちゃおいしいです。) I could use meccha, as I did in the example, or I could use totemo or sugoku for the “so /very/ extremely” part. But in Kansai ben it could come off as “This is so fucking good”. Language nuances and dialects are fascinating! OP was using it to express frequency based on the context of her thread.

来てる = kiteru- to be coming (dictionary form is 来る/kuru - to come)

みたい = Mitai - “looks like” or “seems”

Put together, the above means “It looks like / it seems like (they) come frequently (to this restaurant) more than we think”.

I didn’t highlight this but in the second line of OP’s post they mentioned 今 (the kanji for ima / now) アガシコプチャン - Agashiko Puchan (written in Katakana) which translates to the name of the popular Korean BBQ eatery BTS is known to frequent in LA - Ahgassi Gopchang.

A family member living in Japan, who doesn’t follow BTS, confirmed OP’s thread:
