Yep yep this is all true, nice anon. And I do love every chance to bring up CofA because this is the thing that made me go "oh. OHHHH it's like THAT for REAL. Got it." I bring up my dance background a lot but for me it's really relevant to BTS in general but to Jimin and Jungkook in particular. When dancers (and yes Koo is a dancer) have creative control they get... personal with their work. A fair bit of this choreo is lifted from the Park Ji Yoon original but it translates and looks so much better on the baby Jeon-Parks. Who IMO were already doing some up close and personal dancing iykwim. And baby Jeon was shameless AF during rehearsal. Popping his gum like that holy shit. Poor Jiminie wasn't sure whether to live or die that day. And later that evening after much sweating and a clothes change is, I believe, when the Own It video was shot - check out JK's clothes. He didn't even change. There's other evidence out there that this rehearsal and that (whatever tf that was) were done on the same day. And the next day was the stage where Jimin showed up and marked the run-through in slides and was a little bit off his game pre-performance. Now idc what anyone else thinks happened but I posit some late night possibly drunken princess carrying spinning hickey type action went down - at minimum. I need someone less lazy than me to correct me if I'm wrong about the timing though. I kinda thought CofA happened in 2016. But even so I agree that the 2015 stuff was fun and pretty telling as far as attraction and some feeling around, both physical and emotional. The thing with Hobi is kind of a moment that some people take really seriously and others, including some K-Armys, have decided was less a big deal than it looked like. To me it shows Kookie on his wink wink nudge nudge giggle giggle shit, halfway. Same with the "I want you" photoshoot. He was testing. Probably not too long into his own queer awakening, honestly, and kind of toying with what the public, the company and Jimin would accept, if that makes sense. He was definitely flirting on loud but he was also being smart about it, which - he is. Koo is a savvy, highly intelligent guy and that gets lost sometimes. But by doing stuff he could play off as just teasing, both he and Jimin could explore their attraction without raising too many eyebrows. Until they didn't stop doing it.
