I havenāt been able to find a full transcript of the part of the live where Jimin and Jungkook talked about the conversations they had while they were in the military. From the clips Iāve seen, they mentioned that they spent quite a lot of time discussing the kind of content they wanted to create once they were discharged. They talked about simple ideas, such as turning on a camera and just having a meal together, but they also mentioned other concepts that involved inviting guests and trying different formats.
They also brought up Are You Sure?, and Jimin mentioned that they had discussed around eight other ideas as well. There was a point where they seemed reluctant to go into too much detail because some of those ideas might still become reality in the future. I am probably paraphrasing parts of the conversation.
That being said, that entire conversation felt like one of those karmic Jikook moments that seem to appear time and time again. For me, it was yet another reminder that Jungkook genuinely wants to create content with Jimin. Not only did they talk about making content together, but they specifically talked about ideas centred on the two of them. That detail stood out to me because it directly contradicts a narrative that occasionally resurfaces within the fandom.
To me, it reinforces something that should already be obvious. Jungkook does enjoy making content with Jimin. Jungkook did want to do Are You Sure?. Jungkook is comfortable creating projects with Jimin, and judging from what they said, the two of them apparently discussed far more ideas than the ones we have actually seen so far. I might be imagining it, but there seemed to be a bit of cheekiness and mutual understanding when they basically said, āLetās not talk too much about it, because it might actually turn out to be true.ā
Throughout their military service, they mentioned on several occasions that they spent a lot of time talking about what they wanted to do once they were discharged.
Hopefully that turns out to be the case. If there really were eight or more ideas being discussed, it is hard not to be curious about what might still be waiting in the future.
At one point I found myself wondering whether those conversations and plans had just remained plans, or whether, as is often the case with BTS, everything is being carefully prepared behind the scenes and weāll suddenly get something new when we least expect it. Hopefully thatās the case.
More than anything, though, I see this conversation as a karmic moment for the people who have recently been insisting that Jungkook never wanted to film a show with Jimin. Not only are we talking about a programme that already has two seasons, but we now have Jimin and Jungkook themselves reminiscing about all the additional content ideas they discussed while they were in the military. Whether every single one of those ideas becomes reality or not, the conversation itself makes one thing very clear. The idea that Jungkook dislikes working with Jimin or has no interest in creating content with him becomes increasingly difficult to support when the two of them are openly talking about how many projects they wanted to do together in the first place.

Honestly, it's quite disturbing to watch the reaction Hobi's photo of Jimin and Jungkook has caused.
It really could have been as simple as people saying, "Aw, the maknae line love cuddling together, especially when Hobi's around." Because that's genuinely just their dynamic. The four of them have always been affectionate with each other. Every now and then, they'll drag Jin into it as well, but for the most part, it's something the maknae line and Hobi, their unofficial leader, naturally do. We've seen it over and over again throughout the years, so none of it is new.
That's why the photo itself isn't strange in the slightest. It isn't unusual, it isn't shocking, and it certainly isn't anything we've never seen before. We've seen Jungkook being affectionate with Hobi. We've seen Jimin cuddling Taehyung. We've seen all sorts of similar moments between different members. Physical affection has never exactly been rare in BTS.
What is fascinating, though, is how the fandom completely loses its mind the second the people in the photo are Jimin and Jungkook.
There's something almost comical about how defensive people become whenever those two are involved. You can practically predict the reaction before it even happens. The photo gets posted, people panic, people start overanalysing it, people rush to explain it away, and suddenly everyone is acting as though they've just witnessed something outrageous, when in reality it's just two members of BTS doing something that's perfectly normal for them.
And before anyone says, "Well, it's because their fans will claim they're dating," no. That excuse doesn't really hold up because people make those exact same jokes about every pairing in BTS. Every duo gets shipped by someone. Every duo has fans making edits or romantic jokes. That's hardly unique to Jimin and Jungkook.
The difference is that the reaction to Jimin and Jungkook is so much stronger. It's so much more emotional. It's almost visceral. People don't simply disagree with interpretations. They feel this overwhelming need to reject absolutely everything involving those two before they've even had time to think about it.
That, to me, is the interesting part.
It's one of the reasons why we Jikookers can't believe everyone isn't seeing exactly the same thing we are. Because if you genuinely thought there was absolutely nothing noteworthy about them, you wouldn't react this intensely every single time they interact.
Instead, people immediately go into defence mode. They rush to minimise it, explain it away, laugh at it, mock anyone who notices it, or insist there's nothing to see. And honestly, that's what makes it so obvious.
Sometimes it genuinely feels as though people are threatened by the fact that Jimin and Jungkook together simply have a different presence. Whether that's because of their chemistry, the way they naturally interact, or the way they look together, I don't know. But even people who insist there's "nothing there" end up reacting in ways that suggest otherwise.
That's what makes the whole thing so funny to me. Without meaning to, they constantly end up proving exactly what they insist isn't true. They prove, first of all, that they're complete idiots.
Secondly, they prove that common sense has been trying to catch up with them ever since they entered the fandom, and somehow they still keep running away from it.
And finally, they prove the one thing they never seem to realise.
They see exactly what we see.
The difference isn't that we're looking at different photos or different interactions. The difference is that we enjoy what we see, while they spend an incredible amount of time trying to convince themselves, and everyone else, that they don't.
Iām taking this news about the release date for season two of Are You Sure?! as a chance to say something I really hope I wonāt have to repeat, and this goes to the haters. If you donāt believe Jimin and Jungkook are a couple or could ever be one, thatās fine. Iām not here to convince you, and I honestly donāt care whether you believe it or not. All I ask for, and actually demand, is that you respect Jimin and Jungkook as friends. Thereās a big difference between not believing theyāre romantically involved and claiming their bond, closeness, or connection is fake.
Saying their interactions are staged, their words forced, or their friendship made up is just incredibly disrespectful. Itās unbearable, ridiculous, and honestly so irritating. You donāt have to believe theyāre a couple or that they could be one, but at least acknowledge and respect that theyāre genuinely close friends. Really close. The fact that they chose to do things together, for whatever reason, says a lot about how much they trust each other and how comfortable they are being side by side. That alone deserves respect.
With this new season of their show, no matter what we see or how people interpret it, one thing is undeniable and not up for debate: theyāre amazing friends who genuinely enjoy being around each other. Thatās the one thing I wonāt tolerate people disrespecting. Not on my blog.
So, with these new updates, if I was strict before when it came to blocking people, Iām going to be even more so now. Because this news makes me genuinely happy, and Iām not letting anyone ruin that. Iām not here to convince anyone of anything, but I am here to demand respect for Jimin and Jungkook's friendship. I want that to be absolutely clear.
When people canāt deny what theyāre seeing, they often try to erase it instead. Not because itās harmful, but because it exists without asking permission.
And sometimes, discomfort says more truthfully than words ever could.
Tommy, Jimin and Jungkookās friend, actually had to go back and edit his post and add more photos because those toxic idiots, the vrcinas, wouldnāt shut up with their absolute trash. Itās beyond embarrassing at this point.
And this fandom? Dead silent. Not a single word. As per usual.

Iām going to be completely honest here, and I have no idea how well this is going to come across, but the truth is the issue jk Solos and jikookphobics in general have with Jimin comes down to something very simple and very uncomfortable. Jimin is living the life they either secretly wish they had or have spent years fantasising about for themselves. He is embodying the exact role they like to believe they would have, or even claim they already hold, in Jungkookās life. And that reality is unbearable for them, because Jimin represents a direct and very real threat to what they have convinced themselves belongs to them. That is, Jungkook.
This is precisely why they have never had any real problem with the other ships involving Jungkook. Those other pairings do not unsettle them because deep down, they know they are just surface-level, mostly fan-made illusions. They do not see those ships as competition. They feel safe with them because those ships pose no actual risk to their fantasy. But Jikook? That one has always been different. That one has always felt a bit too real. And now, more than ever, it feels like something that might not just be fan speculation. It feels like it might actually be true.
What frustrates these "fans" so deeply, to the point of obsession sometimes, is that when it comes to Jikook, there is absolutely no room for them to squeeze themselves into the picture. There is no convenient gap for them to insert their own fantasy version of events. There is nothing vague, no emotional ambiguity, no cracks in the dynamic that they can crawl into and claim as their own. The way Jimin and Jungkook interact, the way they look at each other, move around one another and gravitate naturally toward each other in every setting, it all feels incredibly closed off to outsiders. It does not invite the kind of self-insertion they rely on to feel connected. It does not offer them a way to become part of the story, even in their imagination.
They cannot romanticise themselves into Jikook because there is no space for fantasy in something that feels that authentic. They cannot turn Jikook into a love triangle where they are the missing piece, because Jikook does not leave room for anyone else. It is not about tension or rivalry or imaginary competition. It is about a connection that simply is, without needing to justify itself or prove anything to anyone. And that is what drives these fans to the edge. Jimin gets all of Jungkookās attention without demanding it, without performing for it, without chasing it. Jungkook gives it freely, in ways that feel natural and unforced. Whether it is the way he watches Jimin when he is not speaking, or how easily he mirrors Jiminās body language, or how often he seeks his reactions before reacting himself, it all comes across as second nature.
They were holding on tightly to the idea that once they started their military service, the dynamic between Jimin and Jungkook would begin to shift. In their minds, it was inevitable. They thought the separation would do what years of speculation, assumptions and wishful thinking never could. They imagined that the passing of time, the structure of military life, and the changes in routine would create enough distance for the closeness to wear off naturally. They genuinely believed that once those rigid schedules changed and both men began transitioning back into civilian life, their relationship would quietly fade into something more distant, more polite, more occasional, something easier to dismiss. But that didnāt happen.
You see, those people had completely convinced themselves that Jimin and Jungkook would never enlist at the same time. That belief was a lifeline for them. It allowed them to pretend there was still space between them, unpredictability, a chance for things to unfold differently. No one truly expected a joint enlistment, but these particular fans were especially certain it would never happen. They had wrapped their entire sense of comfort around that assumption. And when it turned out to be false, when Jimin and Jungkook did in fact enlist together and stayed close throughout, the only thing they could do was refuse to accept it. Rather than face the obvious, they clung to denial. They dismissed the facts. They ignored the evidence. They looked the other way. It was easier to pretend it was all a coincidence than admit their fantasy was collapsing.
The fact that both Jimin and Jungkook have now completed their military service means they have let go of one of the biggest obligations and restrictions in their lives. That freedom changes everything. It removes one of the last major barriers stopping them from simply existing on their own terms and being with the people they truly want to be with. At least, to a certain extent. And the moment they did that, the moment they were both discharged, they immediately disappeared together. That speaks volumes.
Jimin and Jungkook finished their military service, and things did change. But not how they thought it would.
Then came the announcement that BTS members would be focusing on individual activities for a while, and for the briefest of moments, these fans felt a flicker of hope again. They thought that perhaps this was it. This was the sign they had been waiting for. Maybe now, finally, Jimin and Jungkook would part ways. Maybe they would go off in separate directions, each one absorbed in their own projects, too busy to stay attached. Maybe, just maybe, the connection would loosen. And with that, maybe Jungkook would go back to being emotionally available for them, in their minds, at least. They told themselves that this would be the point where things changed. This would be the moment where he somehow returned to them. Not literally, of course, but symbolically. Emotionally. Fantastically.
But that illusion barely had time to settle before it was shattered. Just a few days after their discharge from the military, Jimin and Jungkook vanished together. No big statements. No official posts. No media spectacle. They slipped away quietly, without explanation. It was not long before fans began putting the pieces together. Subtle clues in the background. Matching locations. It became very clear, very quickly, that the two of them were on a trip together.
And here we are, more than ten days later, and they are still gone. Still off the radar. Still spending time exclusively with one another. No hint of separation. Just Jimin and Jungkook, existing in their own bubble, completely indifferent to the noise.
For those who have spent years convincing themselves that Jungkook belongs to them, this situation is a complete nightmare. It is the worst-case scenario. It is proof that everything they thought would drive Jimin and Jungkook apart has only made them closer. It is confirmation that not only has nothing changed, but that their bond has survived the military, the outside pressure. And it has emerged stronger.
And so, of course, they are furious. Of course, they feel defeated. Of course, they need to find someone to blame. And in their minds, Jimin is the obvious target. He is easier to hate than to accept. It is easier to accuse him of manipulation, of being clingy, of getting in the way, than to admit that what they are seeing is simply two people choosing to be with each other, repeatedly, quietly, and freely.
So they justify their anger. They convince themselves it is righteous. They decide that Jimin must be doing something wrong, because the truth-that he is doing nothing but existing, and being chosen again and again-is far too painful to admit. It disrupts the fantasy. It forces them to face a reality where their place in Jungkookās life is not just distant, but entirely imaginary.
But there is another layer beneath all of this, something that goes beyond just the emotional or romantic dynamics. These fans see Jimin as Jungkookās only real competition when it comes to music and individual success. And they are not entirely wrong about that. Jimin and Jungkook are two of the most prominent members in terms of solo performance. They are both artists with strong identities, clear creative vision, and huge public appeal. And time and time again, they keep proving it.
Whether it is charting globally, breaking streaming records, topping Billboard rankings or simply dominating conversation across fan spaces, Jimin and Jungkook are right there, side by side, pushing boundaries and making history. And sometimes, they are doing it simultaneously. The fact that their names come up so often in the same breath adds a level of tension that these particular fans find unbearable.
They want Jungkook to stand alone. They want him to exist in a category of his own, untouched, unmatched, unchallenged. They want to crown him the best without having to acknowledge that someone else, someone he happens to be incredibly close to, might be right there with him. And it just so happens that person is Jimin.
The irony is that Jungkook himself does not seem remotely bothered by this. He has never acted like Jiminās success takes anything away from him. In fact, he has always gone out of his way to show support. He shares Jiminās music. He congratulates him openly. He reacts with genuine joy when Jimin hits a milestone. There is no trace of bitterness in his behaviour, no defensiveness, no sense of rivalry. If anything, there is a quiet pride there. A warmth. A consistent pattern of respect and celebration.
But these fans are not interested in that. They do not care what Jungkook actually feels or thinks. They are not looking to understand his perspective. They are not even trying to align themselves with his values or how he chooses to express affection and support. All they care about is preserving the fantasy they have built, and that fantasy does not have room for someone like Jimin. Because in that fantasy, Jungkook is singular. Jungkook is untouchable. Jungkook is theirs.
And Jimin ruins that illusion. Not just because he is successful, but because he is successful and loved by Jungkook. That is the part that they cannot reconcile. If Jungkook were cold or indifferent to Jiminās achievements, if he kept his distance or played along with the idea of being in quiet competition, they could work with that. They could spin it into something useful, something flattering to their narrative. But instead, Jungkook is openly supportive. He speaks kindly. He reacts with excitement. He shares in Jiminās joy without a hint of insecurity.
That level of comfort and admiration undermines everything these fans cling to. Because if Jungkook does not feel threatened, if he is not competing, then their need to pit the two against each other becomes meaningless. And they are left with the reality that the two of them thrive individually and side by side. They uplift each other. They celebrate each other. They coexist beautifully and that is precisely what these fans cannot bear.
So, it is not just that Jimin is successful. It is that Jimin and Jungkook are successful and close. Jimin is not a distant rival to admire from afar. He is right there. He is part of Jungkookās inner world. And rather than shake Jungkookās confidence, he seems to strengthen it. That kind of dynamic is rare. It is powerful. And it is absolutely terrifying to people who have built their identity around the idea that Jungkook must be the centre of everything, alone.
So instead of accepting that two people can shine at the same time, instead of celebrating the fact that both Jungkook and Jimin are making history together in their own ways, they tear one of them down. And it is always Jimin who takes the hits. Not because he deserves them, but because his presence makes it impossible for the fantasy to survive. His success, his talent, his relationship with Jungkookāthey all force people to confront the fact that Jungkookās story is not a solo act. It never was. And it never needed to be.
When you strip everything back, this discomfort with Jimin isnāt really about who he is as a person; itās about what he represents. He stands at the centre of something very real and very intimate with Jungkook, and that unsettles people who have quietly built entire emotional worlds around the idea that they could be in that place instead. Itās not easy watching someone else live the version of a story youāve dreamed up for yourself, especially when it feels like they belong there so naturally. So, rather than confront the sadness or jealousy that stirs up, they turn that frustration toward Jimin. Not because heās done something wrong, but because heās the one living a truth they wish were theirs. And facing that truth is often far more painful than simply blaming him for it.
Today I saw two TikTok videos, the kind of edits made with clips of Jungkook that are meant to show how he would be the perfect boyfriend. In both videos, one of the clips they used was from one of the last episodes of Are You Sure? where Jimin and Jungkook are holding each otherās heads. You know the one I mean. Theyāre specifically using the angle filmed from behind Jungkookās head, where you only see Jiminās hands holding his head, his fingers digging into Jungkookās hair.
I went into the comments because I already knew what I was going to find, but I wanted to see how people were reacting. There are lots of comments saying how amazing Jungkook is, and then there are others saying that Jimin and Jungkook look like a couple, that one day theyāll kiss, things like that. And there are people getting annoyed by those comments, which I honestly donāt understand.
The person who made the edit used a clip of Jungkook and Jimin behaving in exactly the way they wanted to portray in the video, which is why they used it to claim that Jungkook would act like this if he were someoneās boyfriend or a boyfriend in general. But then people get upset when others point out in the comments, āWell, thatās because theyāre acting like a couple,ā or say they could be a couple, should be a couple, should kiss, should get married, and so on.
I donāt get that logic. And this isnāt new. Fans constantly use clips of Jimin and Jungkook together to say, āThis is how they would be as boyfriendsā or husbands or whatever, but the moment someone comments, āSo you agree they look like a couple,ā people get mad.
Itās this idea that whatever they do has to mean something as long as itās not between the two of them. For example, two people holding hands could mean that theyāre a couple but in Jimin and Jungkookās case it means that only if Jimin is with someone else and Jungkook is with someone else. But Jimin and Jungkook holding hands together is treated as meaningless. I genuinely donāt understand that.
If you donāt see Jimin and Jungkookās behaviour as something couples do, then why use those exact clips and moments to explain how they would be as a couple with someone else? It just doesnāt make sense.
I am not exactly sure where the rumour started, but apparently there is a comment going around on Twitter from someone who seems to be Korean, saying they saw Jimin and Jungkook arriving somewhere to film something. The person only mentioned the two of them, so now loads of people are assuming they were filming a subunit or some kind of project together. Which, cool if itās true.
But someone explain to me why I have seen so many solo accounts for both artists getting furious over the mere possibility. A possibility that comes from a rumour, from an assumption, from a random comment made by someone on some platform. There is nothing confirmed, absolutely nothing, and people are already upset.
Explain to me why, once again, these people who claim to be fans of these artists are incapable of respecting their decisions. Why are they incapable of respecting their friendships, their bond with each other, their relationships with their bandmates. Why is it so hard for them to just let them be?
And some people still wonder why many other people hate solos.
