#good talks

Yeah yeah, I love the little hints they give to say that they indeed support LGBTQ without directly saying it. Especially Kim Heechul (bless him honestly), and he was definitely one of the first people when I joined Kpop who encouraged all the gay openly and treated everyone equally so I really appreciate that :) 

There’s even a rumour that Heechul is actually dating Gunhee rn cause they sketch af but...who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ LOL

Anonymous said to jikook-love: It's like God forbid idols have friends outside their group or company or whatever. What I'm also worried about is the sort of "slut shaming" towards jimin for being playful or interacting other idols

Slut shaming is so 2006, even though it never should’ve been a thing in the first place (though I guess we leaned more towards conservatism back then so I guess it makes sense in a developmental kind of sense). Even if they were truly dating all these people, it’s their love life and we have no say in it--maybe they just fall in love easily. Who are you to say they can or can’t. Geez. 

Believe it or not, there was once a time where shipping between guys and girls in groups was so encouraged--I actually started as a “Super Generation” shipper (SNSD and Super Junior) because groups actually did collabs and interacted with each other back in the day and were paired up and looked good together. Nowadays collab stages are rare and few and not like they were before, and a segregation was inevitable after that. We’re supposed to have been more open-minded since then, but sometimes, especially at times in this, it feels like we took a step backwards. And it’s not entirely our faults either: if the companies just allowed us to get habituated to the images of all these idols interacting with each other, we would certainly be more accepting of it all (e.g. Super Generation was way popular because Suju and SNSD did so many collabs and everyone could immediately see that they looked cute together). But no. It’s like they want their groups to own their own success. No more friendly cross-company collab. No Wonder Girls x Big Bang, SNSD x 2PM, SHINee x Kara, SHINee x Suju x 2PM x SNSD x Kara Dance Battles (yeah these happened.) anymore. Being busy is one excuse, but it’s like the light-heartedness of Kpop has suddenly all disappeared ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Like imagine if we had the “Idol Group Dance Battle” shows now? For those of you who don’t know, the annual Dance Battle would be an event where all idol groups would get together for this one day and perform their own dance performances and compete against each other. Like ISAC, but it was a dance with all the top tier groups. And it was so fun. but if we did it now, i can only imagine how fans of today’s day and age would ruin everything with fanwar-emitting comments like “noooooo oneeee stood a chance BTS hahaha” or “EXO was obviously the best.” or “Gfriend absolutely wrecked Twice ^_^” etc etc please ._. Or do the thing we’ve been doing recently “OMG. LOOK AT JIMIN CHEERING FOR ___________’S PART OF THE PERFORMANCE. THEY’RE DATING. RIP. IMA GO ACTUAL EMO NOW.” 

The point is. This is why we can no longer have nice things. :T

Anonymous said to jikook-love: I want to add about Jikook coming out (or any idol actually) that we have to remember that they have to go to army and a lot of shit happened to gay people here so even if any of them are gay it's more safe to speak about that after, so in a few years.

Personally I haven’t heard about what happens to gay men in the army but I’m sure I can imagine :/

Also, I think it’s more that even if they are gay they are less likely to go around and say it outright, as we are used to in our Western cultures. So that could also be a reason why there are less people “coming out” in Korea as we thing? idk.

Anonymous said to jikook-love: People are reaching. Jimin is currently posting a lot of pictures feat JK lately. I'm probably reaching too but I couldn't help but notice the picture jimin posted where is with JK (BV) and JK making a V sign, he's wearing a ring on his 4rth finger, same kind of ring Jimin did wear when they arrived at singapore. let's reach together lol. Anyway, Jimin will post a picture today (of BV ep2) let's see if JK will be in it ;)

When do we not reach lol it’s okay. Again, everything’s up for interpretation :)

Ah, when will we ever discover the truth behind Jikook’s sketchy rings XD
