BTS TWT Web Archive
I haven't gone through it all yet, but someone shared this and it's supposedly an archive of all of BTS's twts/Twitter account. So in case twt really does go down on us... hopefully we now still have access to their videos and photos and messages posted over the years on that site
hello. can you explain the seaweed soup, please? i’m curious why jk’s mom would cook seaweed soup for jimin even if he’s not physically there and he is not her biological son. also, is this normal to korean culture? knowing that these two are the closest, is this normal? both jeon and park family seems really close. so happy them. thanks!
Hello anon!
For those who don't know, it's a tradition in Korean culture to make seaweed soup for someone's birthday. And no, it's not common at all for moms to go out of their way to do it for someone who 1) is not related to them or 2) live in their house. Especially if the birthday person isn't even present at the table, which judging by Jimin's reaction, he wasn't.
This is why all the reactions from k-kookminers were variations of "???!!!" and also probably why JK wanted to bring it up in the first place. It's both unexpected and incredibly cute, funny in a bizarre sort of way.
JK saying that he also ate seaweed soup, which his mom made for the particular occasion of it being Jimin's birthday, also has a way of implying that Jimin's considered to be a part of the household even if he isn't physically present. At the very least, it highlights just how much his mom cares for and treasures Jimin and also how strong the bond is between the Jeon & Park families.
They are the cutest! And the soft way they always look at each other 😊😊
jimin and his hyperactive puppy prince 😭😭
So in sync and so damn cute. THE SMILES 😊😊
That shy smile of Jimin's, geez, it just melts me. The man is so in love
💜💛🌈
JUNGKOOK AND HIS HEART EYES FOR JIMIN.
This is one of my favourite things about these two, the way they look at each other sometimes, so deeply in love.
“Looking only directly at you so you don't go away"

could you tell me who is the translator you used the jimin namjoon post translation from? or if you have time and energy if you be kind to recommend me translators to follow because I think many are inactive at the moment like my timeline was absolutely empty 🥺
I actually refer to a mix of translations + my own knowledge (and discussing with @gimbapchefs to make sure it's not totally off lmao) when I caption vlives or anything without official subs yet. So I don't just use one specific translation. But these are translators that are very fast and still active that I can recommend: @/tteokminnie @/BTStranslation_ @/haruharu_w_bts And @/lovemazejikook for JM, JK, and JKK focused translations

???
Straight up saying he wants a gf ? And not when put on a spot and asked a question? What do you think about this ?
Cishet people also make me go "????" Anon. I understand. Because they see a clip of 15 year old baby Jungkook seeing another man putting on a dress and saying he wants HIM to be his girlfriend and get confused. Lmao it's giving PEAK baby gay behavior still working through his own heteronormativity based on the environment he grew up in, so of course he uses the word girlfriend.
And I mean, I get it. Lol Suga looked Fire. Even though he was not having it. Lol yall get so caught up on the word girlfriend, you forget that it implies that JK was enjoying what he was seeing. And what he was seeing was a man in a maid outfit/skirt.
You honestly picked a really bad time to send this because after the day we had here yesterday I have zero patience for the heteronormative bullshit. But yeah, this isn't the JK is straight and wants a girlfriend point you were hoping for. This is laughably clear baby gay behavior. It's comphet at its finest. And it goes hand in hand with more baby gay JK from Rookie King going GIDDY with excitement and hopping around trying to get the BEST VIEW possible of seeing two boys kiss each other
Look at our little baby fruit cup jump around back there 🥺😂 literally cannot contain himself
And i mean, look at the man now. Clothes don't have a gender is exactly right, my king!
And it seemed like he still was enjoying the idea of skirts during this Butter shoot. Can't blame him! Lol
I love getting new moments for my JK rainbow moments. Anon, I genuinely don't understand your confusion here. Sorry. You heard the boy say to another MAN "wish YOU could be my girlfriend" and took that as him wanting a GIRLfriend. Lol but okay. That's fine. I'm just understanding it drastically differently.
The way Jimin also enjoyed Yoongi in a skirt in 2017. Yoonji's power 💁🏻♀️🔥😍
Q: Who do you want to star in a movie with?
🐰: […] Jimin would be,… a newbie police officer that gets scolded by me.
Just a gentle reminder that if you enjoy seeing Jk turn to listen to JM speak when they are accepting awards... BTS has to actually win the award😅

JK being JM’s copycat
You know how they say that in every joke there is a drop of truth, well I’d say that JM’s joke on repeat, that JK copies him, there is some or even a lot of truth there.
Let’s start from the end…
JM told us JK is his copycat (for the umpteenth time) and JK finally admitted to it.
And not only does he admit to being JM’s copycat, he attributes his good deeds to JM too.
JK does copy JM. At times I’s day it’s him looking to JM for social queues. Like we see in the first clip I shared. JK is literally looking at JM and copying his laugh, down to the intensity of the laugh.
He copied JM for the queues and when he didn’t know what to do with himself.
I’d go as far as saying that copying JM gives JK comfort.
Following the social queues is something I think we saw more in the earlier days. Even if he still does it, he’s less obvious about it now days, lol.
But JK copies JM for more than just following his queues.
He does it to get JM’s attention and/or make him laugh.
Sometimes we get a combo, a 2 for one, lol. Just copying JM, not realising he’s copying him, and then copying him for the laughs.
He does it unintendedly at times, not even realizing he’s doing it.
He does it just because he can’t help himself. It’s not like anyone is paying attention, lol.
He does it for fun and laughs.
He does it because he thinks everything JM does is adorable, and JM’s the cutest thing ever.
I don’t think he realised he was doing it here at first, lol. And then he just went with it, cause JM’s so adorable.
He does it because he’s JM’s biggest fan.
He does it cause he just does it.
You might think JM was laughing when he called JK his copycat. And I’m sure he brings it up time and time again for fun and laughs. But like I said, in every joke there is a drop of truth, and in this joke it’s more like a stream, lol.
the way jungkook’s smile grows the longer he watches jimin 😭
“how to carry your bun”, a guide by park jimin ♡ (cr.permanentmochakisses)
as i continue to spread the gryffindor jungkook and slytherin jimin agenda
if jimin not cat then why he liquid?
Jimin didn’t know that Jungkook prefers white wine and doesn’t drink red wine, he was very nonchalant and other members knew way better about JK taste. Jungkook didn’t know where new Jimin’s tattoo is and didn’t hear new Jimin’s songs. Also Jimin was surprised that Jungkook would be so jealous over perilla leaf during date. Isn’t it the pattern here? Why they don’t know basic information about each other, I don’t understand and it irritates me so much that now tkkrs may use that information against their bond and they will be quite not so wrong with mistranslations …what does it all mean? that jikook might not hanging out as much as before? Because I don’t know what it indicates when there’s several instances like that, they don’t know each other any more? We should just ignore it? because I don’t think it’s overthinking, it’s already facts unfortunately..
Let me correct you here. Because as far as I see none of the examples you gave are actually accurate.
JM knew JK preferred white wine. Go to the clip, which you can find here:
Re-watch it, starting at 2:55 min. JM doesn't say a word. RM and V mostly talk, JM sitting and grinning, JK says he drinks white wine. JM not talking most definitely doesn't mean he doesn't know.
Just like JM not saying a word about JK's apartment during the Festa dinner doesn't mean he has no knowledge about the apartment. I'd say quite the opposite, especially when he was just sitting there grinning the whole time the conversation was going on, just like he was in this clip. JM not saying a word about his own apartment either, does that mean he doesn't have one or that he doesn't know anything about it? Or maybe he kept quiet because he chose not to share about it? Same as he decides not to chime in on JK's. Same as he decided not to chime in on the wine question.
As a matter of fact, it looked like everyone kind of knew that fact anyway, JK liking white wine over red.
Not chiming into a conversation doesn't mean not knowing. It's not the first time they both stay quiet about the other, letting other members have the conversation, although it's quite clear they know the answer.
Next the tattoo. I beg to differ with you on JK not knowing where it is. I think I was clear in my post on the matter, which you can find here:
I really don't think JK didn't know where JM's tattoo was. He asks himself the question and after a second of thinking just moved on. There was no self deliberation on the matter. He said it and went straight to changing the subject to "where should I get mine?" My thoughts were that he decided not to share it yet, as JM hadn't shared it with the fans yet. And low and behold, just a short time later JM comes to the fans to tell them about the tattoo.
As I also mentioned in my post, this was a friendship tattoo they were all getting done, JM had his done before the recording of their performances for Proof comeback, of course he shared with ALL the other members where he had it done, including JK. You think that within a couple of days JK forgot all about it? Or that perhaps they are on such bad terms that he never showed him? Really? When we know from Karmy that they were much more than just fine during those recordings.
As for not hearing the song, @whysojiminimnida wrote a great post on that matter, which I gladly reblogged:
The whole interaction was playful and funny and yet again, at least in my opinion, absolutely doesn't mean that JM and JK aren't as close anymore. JK's smiley repeated scolding, demanding an apology and JM giving him one immediately, RM enjoying every second of it. This isn't about a couple or even the best friends that are no longer close and everyone tip toeing around them, not at all.
And this is another point too - the members around them, their interactions with the two and their reactions to them. Absolutely nothing has changed, which would have if let say there was a break up or distancing between the two. But it hasn't. They are exactly the same.
And btw, I have to ask, when did this big breakup happen exactly? Because as far as I've heard it was during their Dec-Jan break, but then we had the Seoul concerts and that was proven bullshit, so then it was in their March-April break? But then we had LV, including Hobi telling us, sharing with us a piece of information that if he wouldn't have told us, well we wouldn't have known, because the two just seem to be travelling under the radar when on their free time...So, Hobi he shared with us that all four of them, which is V, himself and JK and JM hand out a lot lately. Meaning, that even if we don't see the two together in public, it doesn't mean they don't spend time together by themselves or with others.
Now to the perilla leaf. Again, I don't see that as not knowing, more like finding it amusing and arguing with JK about it, all for it to be turned back on him at the end, when he himself is kind of forced to admit it would bother him too (JK mumbling under the moustache he doesn't have, answering for him and JM admitting it to be true at the end, lol).
Think about this for a second: Dec-Jan break silence from their direction. Same for the break after the Seoul concerts. So much so, they don't even show up on each other's social media accounts (the public ones that is). And it's only them, they are the only two not to acknowledge one another on the IG accounts. They interact with the others but not each other. It's something that is going on ever since the accounts were opened. They must be split up, on bad terms, hate each other, right?
But no. Because we've seen that to be wrong, during the Seoul concerts and on White day, as well as in LV and after that the Proof recordings. They are just as close, just as chummy, just as lovey dovey. Just as busy too, getting their sun and moon tattoos done, oh and JK having his JM retouched.
Them not showing us they interact publicly when they are on their down time. Them not being seen together when they are on their down time, well it clearly doesn't mean that they are not interacting or that they are not spending time together. And I think that by now you know my take on the matter as to just how much time they actually do spend together.
As for what you choose to make of it, well that's up to you.
First thing first, make your own conclusions based on watching the full original content, not edited clips here and there, not Jikookers nor TKKs take on it. You watch it, and not once either, because with having to follow the translation you miss out on facial expressions, other's reactions and little nuances that you will see from multiple viewing.
And if you watched it properly and came to a conclusion, well run with that. Decide yourself what to make of it. If you think JM or JK didn't know something that you think is important about the other or that for you that proves they aren't close anymore, well that's your decision to make. But you make it. Don't let others make it for you or push you into it, because they are loud or pushy.
I can tell you what I think, and you can take it or leave it.
I believe that they are just fine. That they are as close as they have ever been. That they were and still are in a loving long term relationship, one that what can we do, we are getting to see less of due to the bands change of circumstances. They are careful, they are private, they are a queer couple in what is turning out to be a very hostile environment and are not ready just yet to be 'outed'. They have NOTHING to prove to us.
What each and every one of us decides to do with all of this, well that's their own decision to be made.
I, for one, will continue to support the two individually and as a couple. And my support won't waver if they turn out to be split or even if they never were a couple to begin with. They are both sweethearts and deserve happiness, whichever way they find it.
jungkook and taehyung’s sweet silent habits when it comes to jimin
requested by anon
As a follow up on my previous post about Jungkook sometimes acting like he’s Jimin’s hyung instead of the other way around, I wanted to mention that it isn’t unusual to see him act in a very protective manner towards Jimin. We’ve seen him tell others to be careful around Jimin, like when he cautioned Tae not to fling hot food on him, even though Jimin was further away than anyone else at the table. Hey, it had to be said. Or that time when he stalked towards Yoongi to tell him off for hitting the badminton birdie at Jimin with too much vigor. Phew. That one had me a bit worried, he had a frying pan in his hand! Or how about the time that he watched intently as Jimin used scissors to try and open a plastic ornament to get a note out of it? Jungkook said “be careful, can I do that for you” multiple times. And let’s be reminded that everyone else was trying various methods to break these balls in order to get the notes out, but Jungkook’s focus was on Jimin only. I could go on and on and on. He’s been doing this for ever. I just find it so interesting. I’m adding a clip, just to demonstrate my point. Here, the whole group is dog piling up for a photo. Jimin is on the bottom of the pile, so of course, Jungkook makes sure he’s the one who’s on top of him (to protect him, silly). You can see his right hand on the floor beside Namjoon and he’s literally holding himself up with his fingers. You can see his shoulder lifting off of Jimin, and I’m sure his other hand is on the ground beside Jimin. So in essence, he’s created a cage around him. This can’t be easy or comfortable. Add to that, he’s got Yoongi on his own back! But still, the man exerts all needed effort to ensure that the 🐥 doesn’t get squashed. How much do we love that?!
the funniest thing about jimin using his cuteness to his advantage is that jungkook is aware of it but is still weak against it lmao
jimin is very attached to tony montana 🥺💖
