Jikook have finalized their 75th week in the military and it's time to look back at this week in 2016. The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever was released on 2nd May 2016 and the lead single Fire was released the same day.

BTS promoted Fire on music shows for one week appearing on MCountdown (12/05), Music Bank (13/05), Music Core (14/05) and SBS Inkigayo (15/05) before flying to Sweden to film Bon Voyage 1.

Jungkook had to sit out the pre-recording for MCountdown for health reasons but was there to celebrate the win with the members. Jimin was obviously concerned about him and stuck close that day.

JK on the other hand was feeling flirty.

The next day (13/05) BTS had a second win for Fire on Music Bank this time with Jungkook back front and centre.

On the 14/05, BTS appeared on Music Core and JK made a special host appearance with a full dose of aegyo.

The other members found it hilarious and the teasing was relentless when he got back to the dressing room. I guess it is appearances like this that built the cutie rep he is slowly working to dismantle.

Seeing Saeron here with JK is a sad reminder of the harm that celebrity culture can do to vulnerable young people in SK. It makes me thankful once again that BTS has always been determined to stand together and protect each other through a united front. The maknae line, in particular, starting in the industry while they were still in school, have benefitted hugely from this decision.

With each show there was a fan sign and it's clear that Jikook couldn't help but get lost in their own dynamic - drawn together like magnets. JK with flirt on full throttle.

These were some slightly older bird studies I did; I cant remember if I ever uploaded them before.

My life imploded in many unfun ways, so I've spent the last two years disassociating with everything I've got, and hyperfixating on BTS. I've watched every show clip I can find, every concert and compilation vid, thirst traps, etc., and in the process I somehow made my metalhead husband a fan of Kpop. This is the highlight of my life.

Problem is, husband wants to buy the songs in order, but he doesn't want to pay for duplicates, and many are on multiple albums, with similar or same names.** He got overwhelmed and his anxiety stopped him from buying anything. And god forbid he cheat on iTunes by just using my Spotify account instead🙄😂.

I'm figuring it out slowly. Their discography Wiki is a mess and not just because of the names. There's a lot of confusion between a western single (one song) and a Kpop single, which is a short album, more akin to an EP. But, they ALSO have EPs, which are longer than singles, but not as long as studio albums. I--wut? Lucky for husband, I love research, so I currently have five tabs open, along with a G-doc. I'm going through their entire discography, cross-checking the info and highlighting any duplicates or reissues. Once I finish, I'll check my lists against iTunes cuz we've already found errors on there. The G-Doc is ten pages long, and after working on it for eight hours yesterday, I've only made it to the 2017 WINGS era. Insert manic laughter here.

An example of my love and/or mental illness.

Now, I'm either working on the doc, or I'm watching thirst traps and sighing with longing. And all my socials are nothing but BTS (also Zhang Linghe, but that's a whole different fixation), so I decided that this account should also be inundated with BTS, because symmetry is very important to me.

Also, I missed Tumblr and all the obsessive weirdos like myself. Hi weirdos!
