211122 Jimin’s Tweet

너무너무 뵙고 싶었던 아미 여러분들을 2년만에 다시만난 정말 뜻 깊은 날이었습니다 기다려주셔서 진심으로 감사하고 감사하고 감사합니다 사랑합니다 아미 💜 #JIMIN #우리아미상받았네

It was a really meaningful day where after 2 years we got to see our ARMYs, whom we’ve wanted to see so so much, again For waiting for us—thank you sincerely, thank you and thank you once again I love you ARMY 💜 #JIMIN #OurARMYsReceivedAnAward

There is something different about Park Jimin. And I'm talking about the individual, about him as a person in general. There is something different about him. And with today's or yesterday's Vlive I confirmed it.

For some time now I have noticed a serenity and a vulnerability in Jimin. In his demeanour but we hadn't seen so many moments in real-time to confirm it. Now I have confirmed it. There is something different about him. Something beautiful. Jimin is a person of many shades. He is both complex and simple at the same time. I have said it several times in the past but he looks different. More him.

I also confirmed today that I could listen to Jimin talk for hours. The way he talks is soothing, he seems to lull you with his voice. Although I didn't understand what his voice was saying... It calmed me down. Such is the power of Park Jimin.

Jimin radiates calmness. Warmth. It's amazing what he can transmit through a screen. Those who meet him in person are lucky.

I will never tire of saying it, Jimin is a special being. Rare. Hard to find. I feel lucky to call myself his fan.

Now about JiKook. KookMin. Jimin and Jungkook...

I honestly don't think I can watch that Vlive again, or at least not the part with Jungkook in it. God, I was grinning like a fool, giggling like Jimin! And with that feeling that I wasn't supposed to watch. This vlive joins Jungkook's Vlive in New Jersey in my folder of JiKook videos that I can't watch again.

Not sure how to say this, but I don’t think there’s sufficient evidence to think JM’s insistence of asserting jikook in spite of RM’s wishes (speculation based on RM’s reactions to the Dynamite press conference and JM just mentioning JK in interviews lool) has significantly impacted JM’s standing in the group to the point he is somehow dismissed, BUT their dynamics feel a bit off. RM’s description of JM too in the Let’s BTS show was a bit different from in the past where he described JM as a dear friend (odd and significant for JM who is younger) and someone who most understood him. In Let’s BTS he described JM as a good idol who everyone likes... So not bad, just different, especially when the other members didn’t hesitate to be really personal with their compliments of each other. In the Butter MV shooting jikook were mostly in tune with each other but at times (like when they were sitting in a row of chairs with jikook at opposite ends) JM seemed a bit detached from the rest.

JM has always been known to meticulously tend to his personal relationships as he values those very strongly. He has always been very close with the hyungs and you often feel deep respect for him from Hobi, RM, and Suga in particular. I’m not saying none of that is still there, but it feels like there’s been a drifting for a few months. I really liked JM’s BE interview with RM but again, a few parts felt off for two people who supposedly understand each other best. Is it weird to think during quarantine jikook remained as close but JM’s relationship with the others has suffered? JK as the maknae would always get dotted on, but with JM... that vlive made me wonder.

I could be reading too much into it, so would like to get other perspectives.

Hi @beautifulpersonpeach ! Thanks for the Ask.

So, I'm going to be completely honest in my answer with you and hope I don't ruffle any feathers along the way.

My impression when I watched the Butter day VLive was just that JM was maybe not his usual chipper self, but he still seemed content. Now, I am not saying something was wrong, it's just that people are complex. We don't stay in one mood consistently all the time, and especially not when we're under lots of stress and have a lot going on for work, which he did! He didn't seem extra bowled over and lively and loud. But, he also didn't look unhappy to me, and he was engaging with the games. I didn't notice that he was teased any more than anyone else. If there is someting in particular I missed, please do let me know.

When he tried to say something to JK about their fasting, he couldn't connect and wasn't heard. It reminded me of the exact thing JM teased JK over during YouQuiz. Talking is awkward, lol. Sometimes you want to say something and with six other people talking, you can't get a word in edge-wise. And sometimes you're not in the mood to be super extroverted so you don't try as hard. JM was so cute when he pouted at the camera like he was in The Office or something. But, I really don't think anything nefarious is going on. JM was taking care of the penalties, and I think he was enjoying handing those out, lol. And I loved when JK looked at him sorting through them and said something like, what are you doing, Jimin-ssi? That was a very married moment. Only JK could get annoyed from across the room. (lololol it was reminiscent of the tape incident)

JM told us in the Rolling Stone interview that he considers himself to be more introverted than some of the other members. Since we can also see he can be very extroverted and likes investing time in friendships, I think he probably vascillates between feeling extroverted and introverted. And maybe he was a little bit more introverted than normal during this VLive, but I don't think he was out of it, or being spurned or scorned by anyone, or even purposefully ignored or maliciously teased. Hobi said turn it off and it sounded like he swore, but he didn't. That's why everyone laughed. My impression was not that JM was hurt by this, but that he misheard it and was taken aback for a split second. (lol, does Hobi swear normally? hehehe)

201224 Jimin’s letter to ARMY regarding his newly released track, “Christmas Love”

아미 여러분 안녕하세요 지민입니다. 크리스마스 선물은 잘 받으셨나요? 여러분에게 꼭 들려드리고 싶었는데 다행히 들려드릴 수 있게 되어서 정말 정말 기쁩니다. 오늘 이렇게 제가 찾아온 건 지금 이런 힘든 상황에 갑자기 이렇게 밝은 곡을 들려드리게 된 이유, 그 이유에 대해 조금 알려드리고 싶어서 찾아왔어요. 곡 내용을 보면 아시겠지만 이 곡은 제가 기억하는 어릴 적 추억 중 제가 좋아하는 눈이 펑펑 내리는 장면을 처음 보았을 때의 감정을 담아서 노래하고 있습니다. 우리는 성장하면서 어렸을 적을 참 많이 그리워하게 되는 것 같아요. 그게 지금 상황이든 아니든 철없고 때 묻지 않은 순수한 우리들을 많이 기억하고 그 때로 돌아가고 싶어한다고 생각했어요. 성장하게 되면서 가지는 무언가의 책임감, 그 책임감이 순수했던 우리를 철들게 하고 조금은 우리의 감정을 숨기게 하는 게 아닌가 생각을 했습니다. 하지만 아직도 우리는 그러한 감정을 가지고 있다고 생각합니다. 그러니 한 번쯤은 유치하지만 그런 감정을 표현해 보는 것은 어떨까요? 저는 그 하루가 오늘이 되면 좋겠다는 생각을 했습니다. 여러분 모두는 언제나 사랑받아 마땅한 사람들입니다.  그러니 흔히들 표현하는 오글거린다는 말보다는 조금은 쑥스러워도 모두가 같이 즐길 수 있는 상황이 왔으면 좋겠습니다. 뭔가 거창하게 쓴 것에 비해 한참 모자란 곡이지만 여러분 모두가 행복한 사람이었으면 좋겠다는 소망 하나로 열심히 만들게 되었습니다. 곡 듣고 조금이나마 여러분들이 추억하는 예전으로 잠시 돌아갈 수 있었으면 좋겠습니다.

Hello ARMY, this is Jimin. Did you receive your Christmas present well? This is a song I really wanted to have you all hear, and thankfully an opportunity to make that happen arose so I’m really really happy. The reason I’m visiting you all like this today is because I wanted to tell you a bit about the reason behind me releasing a bright song like this during such troubled times. You’ll know once you read the lyrics but I’m singing the emotions I felt from one of my favorite childhood memories–me seeing heavy snowfall for the first time.

I think as we grow, we begin to really long for our younger years.

Whether that’s our current situation or not, I’ve been remembering and wanting to go back to the days when we were immature, untainted by life, naive, pure. As we have grown older, we have also developed a sense of responsibility, and that sense of responsibility makes our once naive selves mature, and I wonder if it causes us to begin concealing our feelings a little. However, I think those feelings are still within us so, even though it is childish, how about we express those feelings once in a while? I thought it would be nice if that “once in a while” was today.

You all are always worthy of and deserve to be loved. So, instead of describing it as “cringe” as it so often is, I hope a time comes when we can all enjoy it together, even though it might be a bit embarrassing. Though this song falls extremely short in comparison to the grandiose intentions with which it was written, it is a song I wrote with one hope in mind–that you are all happy people. I would like if you all listened to this song and were transported to a time in your memories, for even just a little bit.

never a dull moment with these three…
