#ym analysis

Thoughts on Shipping:

I think "btsp0ly" is a weird cop-out that ot7ers do to enjoy how gay BTS is without having to actually think too hard about who really REALLY could be in a relationship. I don't think anyone thinks all 7 members are in an ACTUAL polyamorous relationship and if they do....well 😬

I do think shipping in general is harmless, HOWEVER, some people do too much, I cannot imagine going in the solo direction or being upset at other members for breathing near my ship. Like,,,grow up LMAO.

The world has progressed past j*k**kers. They're like dallas cowboy fans, or t**mp supporters, they don't win in the end and when they do it's not enough for them/what they actually wanted. Being around them is like driving through a sketchy ass town lock your doors and accelerate past, DO NOT INTERACT.

Thoughts on being a Yoonminer:

It's fun! Yoonmin is a ship that requires a lot of patience and paying attention and if you're willing to do that it can be very rewarding.

I think old school yoonminers tend to harp a little bit more on past yoonmin than new school yoonminers do. It's not a bad thing but it's now how I like to spend my time. Yoonmin is doing so much right now and in the past 4-5 years if it's older than 2019 I probably won't reference it or bring it up.

Yoonminers who try to figure out if ym is upset with each other because they're not all over each other are a little (???) you went through years with crumbs but them not being lovey dovey one day is enough for you to decide they're fighting? Odd. tighten up.

Thoughts on Yoonmin:

I think Yoonmin are in some type of comitted romantic relatonship and have been for at least 2-3 years. Whether they would label themselves as boyfriends, partners, or "figuring it out" I don't know but their actions lead me to believe that the likelihood of it being platonic is lower than the likelihood of it being romantic.

While I usually don't put a lot onto "omg this kpop duo is matching" yoonmin match a LOT. like a little bit more than makes sense if it wasn't intentional? It kind of makes sense because we know they live next to each other but the idea that these two cuties literally coordinate outfits to go into work together is too much like they're so cute???

I'm now fairly certain yoonmin had some type of "disconnect" or "breakup" that led to Jimin dating that lady. My insticnt says they decided to cut off whatver they had going on pre-2020 to protect the group and their hearts as enlistment inched closer and closer. I think Jimin was heartbroken and decided to escape in alcohol and 😬 bad decisions. I really think that if you have listened to the Face album and read the lyrics and listend to what Jimin has said of the album none of this sounds too farfetched or like too much of a surprise.

To that account I think they got back together sometime in 2021-2022 and have been together and quite frankly really happy ever since.

I think Yoongi and Jimin really value their privacy and are actually very protective of what they have. With Jimin being maybe even more conscious and cautious. As a maknae line member Jimin is subject to a lot of scrutiny so I think anything they choose to share is deliberate and should be valued for that deliberateness.

I also think they'll never be t**k**k. I don't think we're ever going to get overly playful on stage, hanging all over each other in offical content (although yoongi 👀 ive seen you), flirting on IG and weverse, the very patented maknae line vibe from them. That's just not how they are with each other and I know it doesn't diminish what they have at all. I think people have to stop wanting that from them and be satisfied with what they do give because they give a lot more NOW than they did in the past.

Yoonmin are definitely "quieter" in South Korea. I think this is for a few reasons. I think it's the obvious cultural implication. But I also think that Yoonmin have arranged their lives so that they can spend a lot of time together without us knowing about it. So they're quieter to us maybe but it doesn't mean they're not seeing each other. We know from Jimin and Yoongi's own mouth that they do see other even if theyre not posting about it.

I've said it once I'll say it a thousand times. Jimin is just as obsessed with Yoongi as Yoongi is with him. Those that think it's unrequited or one sided just do not know Jimin or quite frankly Yoongi that well. This really could be an entire seperate blog post so I won't dive too deep but know that Jimin is right where he wants to be in terms of Yoongi's affecitons and he asked for it.

Yoongi slapping Jimin's ass on a weverse live was crazy but what was crazier is Jimin didn't flinch or look shocked or say "hyung!!" like he just went with it??? it clearly happens more often that we know.

Yoonmin washing up together a few times in america is one thing. Yoonmin washing up together, sharing a studio together, living next door to each other, coming in the same car to work together and then leaving together to hang out after they've worked together is quite another. I said this on a different post but I really think if they're not romantic...that's actually kinda crazy...LMAO. Like they're behavior is better explained through a romantic lense than a friend lense so sorry. they're literally this tweet:

Yoongi has said a few times that if he could bring anyone to to a deserted island he would chose Jimin.

Here's a link to one of the times Yoongi says this in an interview:

Jimin then brings it up again in 2019 when asked the same question:

Fast forward to 2020 Yoongi mentions on the Jimin episode of his radio show that again hed go with Jimin to a deserted island.

So throughout the years, Jimin and Yoongi mention this idea of being alone on an island together. Now while Jimin and Yoongi haven't to my knowledge had that chance to be completely alone on an island they have had an experience with just the two of them in Hawaii

Jimin in 2017 mentions that in Hawaii they went stargazing together:

Fast forward to 2022, Yoongi and Jimin do an AD for Jeju island where it is decidedly just the two of them

The idea of an Island for two even shows up within Yoongi and Jimin's Music.

Here is the song eight by IU Ft Suga where he mentions an Island that the two within the song both built

lyrics credit here

Again the idea of an island shows up within Telepathy:

In 140503 Yoongi expresses not wanting to be left alone on the island

Lyrics credit: Trans cr; Vicky & Sylvia @ bts-trans

Finally we have Jimin's debut with the word island, in Be Mine where he also mentions wanting it to be just him and one other person:

Lyrics Credit: Trans cr; Annie | Spot Check cr; Aditi @ bts-trans

So we can see even in lyrics that Yoongi and Jimin both have mentioned the idea of being on an island with just another person 👀. And based on the several interviews where Jimin or Yoongi mention the idea of being on an island together I think we can do a little 1+1=2 here.

I don't know or care if yoongi and Jimin ever went through a "breakup". More than likely any tension that people cite as "breakup tension" is stress or exhaustion from being global superstars and has little to nothing to do with how they feel about each other.

To THAT POINT if yoongi and jimin ever had any type of breakup it wouldn't make their relationship less real or less valid, people who lose their shit at the implication that they've ever had a rough patch are weird and should look inward and take it down a notch.

I don't think Jimin gets enough credit for how obsessed he is with Yoongi. The fandom, rival shippers, and sometimes even yoonminers like to act like Yoongi is the only one down bad but it's so clearly mutual with Jimin often initiating more public displays of affection.

I think it's very possible that Yoongi has written songs for and about Jimin. Do I think we've heard them? Not sure. But I know Jimin has heard a few.

Room 779? Boring. Overdone. Easily disproven. IN THE SOOP CAMPER VAN CUT FOOTAGE I n t e r e s t i ng. was initiated by yoonmin in front of us. hard for anyone to deny.

People who consistently dismiss yoongi and jimin as being brotherly or even dad-son like are being so weird . They are not related and their age gap is literally two freaking years. You'll usually hear this from rival shippers whod rather close their eyes cover their ears and say lalalalla than make room for nuance.

The deliberate cutting short of Yoonmin moments from official content I think is done with yoonmin's knowledge and cooperation. I think they both value their privacy and Big Hit, while not perfect, has worked extremely hard to give it to them so that they can retain a sense of normalcy.

In order to fully understand Yoonmin you have to watch full length content and not edits. Edits are not able to do justice to their dynamic. I watch full length content on their YouTube and weverse and for older stuff, I use BTS Subs which sorts subtitled videos into era and by member.

I think Hybe is very deliberate about which duos they show and don't show as often. I think the duos that get more screentime, are deemed as "safe" they bring in the money, the Twitter trends, and serve as a distraction while presenting little to no risk to the actual business of BTS. (Iykyk)

I think Jimin and Yoongi have gaming nights over at jimin's house and that's why there's two chairs in that one room in his house.

I think yoonmin were very strategic about constantly referencing each other in 2023 and hanging out in private while letting fans know about it (new York, both birthdays, sushi date, working out etc). I think they're testing the waters to how it feels to be more open with the fan base

I am not as concerned with the logistics of Yoongi and jimin's relationship (monogamous. Vs poly , married vs dating, etc) I certainly don't think their relationship is platonic and I doubt it's been platonic anytime recently.

I think some of the most damning evidence that Yoongi and Jimin had something going on is how Jimin acted when Yoongi was out for surgery and how they clung to each other after Yoongi was fully back.

Yoongi and Jimin consistently say romantic and soft stuff to each other and I find that more interesting to analyze and theorize about than their ""bickering"" dynamic

I don't think the start date of yoonmins relationship matters so much and idk why people argue about it lol. They've always been "🏳️‍🌈 👁️👁️?"So who cares when they made it "official"

And that is all for todayyy. What are some of YOUR opinions about yoonmin.
