💜... Because of homophobia, historically, do you realize HOW MANY BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORIES DIDN'T HAPPEN?
Blows my mind to think of it. How have we humans denied everyone's right to happiness, and still do. No wonder the world is in this state...
Taekook know that WE CONNECT THE DOTS. Tae wore a tshirt at Bruno Mars' concert in Seoul, June 18. Kookie wears same tshirt in the SEVEN mv, in the train scene. Kookie said in an interview that he regrets not having been at the Bruno Mars concert since he was in the US filming.+

#Taekook
enjoying life! Both moments are public, and looks like hugging and holding hands openly is the new normal for these two lovebirds. My heart rejoices!!! 👏🤟
With all the excitement of today's Taekook flirting, let's not forget the facts spilled:
1. They have to ask for permission to do a live
2. It's not easy to get permission
3. The live was done without staff or authorization from Hybe
4. JK took a risk on his anniversary +
The fact that they came together, without a company chaperon is a clear statement that they achieved a certain degree of freedom, thank-heavens, and that they are determined to show their relationship to the world come what may. I salute you for this courage, my pumpkins! 👏👏👏
DISPATCH published an article about Taetae's appreciation of Kookie's makguksu. Regarding the role of this media in promoting Taekook lately, I see a lot of contradictory opinions, and all are valid... to a certain extent. Media is a necessary malaise, especially in the +...
The inspiration of POP Mag shoot has been linked, visually, to punk actor Adam Ant and gay activist Derek Jarman. Jarman, a vocal supporter of gay rights, produced JUBILEE, a cult movie with Adam Ant. Taetae wore the Jubilee poster tshirt. The music video, on the other hand, +
Small details like this go unnoticed. Kookie asks him if he can get the crew to buy him one more drink but he is told that the 'show is finished.' The segment shoot had ended and they were leaving. The interesting part is who controls the whole production. It's not 🐰+
A LOOK BEHIND THE COURTAINS OF PUBLIC RELATIONS (my profession. Read if you are interested, and patient🙏)
There is currently a MASSIVE action against TAEHYUNG that is covering all existing kinds of media: traditional, social, and broadcasting. This includes: ...+
We all look tirelessly if they are wearing anything we can call COUPLE JEWELRY. Well, the Wooga ring seems to be Kookie's favourite at the moment. Taetae has been wearing a white-beaded necklace and bracelet, and Kookie a black-beaded bracelet. That's COUPLE enough for me.+
HOW SWEET AND FUNNY... Kookie explaining that "calling a taxi" means going to the bedroom to sleep. Clever and hilarious. That move has such a Taetae vibe. These two plot together all the time!!! (Crto)
"THE WORLD'S TOP" is called TAEKOOK! So nice to see them together in Korean articles👏
As a PR, I have one comment: the newspaper wrote the article with no support from BH/H. They used 2 old photos from their own archives, 2 photos from Taetae's LIVE, and 1 from FIFA.
Kookie's sexy six-pack tanktop that he wore in London is a Jean Paul Gaultier piece. The openly gay designer was creative director of Hermes before starting his own incredibly successful line. Now past 70, JPG will soon retire.
Kookie's top is from the daring and controversial+
💜 BTS had no more live engagements until the Grammy's on January 31, 2022, as per Joon/JK's chat on vlive. Unless they drop solo songs or come on vlive, you ain't seeing them in real time. HOLD ON TO THE MEMORIES MADE IN LA! It'll be a long wait. ...+
I was dreaming of seeing them in that room together, and Taetae fulfilled my dream today. I knew this will be his next move - domestic Taekook on a very late night, with Hobi ready to enlist... a few minutes of pure emotional rollercoaster! Wish them eternal happiness!🐯🐰🐿
Omg, I had to look it up because I thought it is fake/edited, but it's real! Billboard calling them TAEKOOK. I need to pinch myself! This, my dears, means that there are no longer secrets left to hide.
But, seriously, how? Is the whole world falling for Taekook? Hope so!+
Taetae was there for the pre-recording (the dancers are there next to him, but were not during the finale. Kookie came live AFTER the pre-recording, and knew very well where Taetae is. Maybe they went to eat after that... And they did the SEVEN dance challenge on stage!+
VOGUE KOREA specified that Kookie directed the photo shoot himself, and that he USED HIS OWN PRIVATE ACCESSORIES/JEWELRY. The CELINE chocker belongs to him personally and he used it as well in LA. A 🐯gift or he bought it himself from the brand his hubby represents as ambassador.
Small detail: they have 2 homes, 3 min drive from eo. They can find their way to eo in their sleep. They needed 2 homes before MS, due to obvious reasons - homophobic rules and regulations and severe punishment from ms if known that they live together. Because of that...+
Not joining the diving segment, and later the evening pool segment, was not Tae's choice. The plot was scripted to say that "he wasn't well". He was simply not included and had to stay back. JK had to film fs duo shots until he got tired of it and called it quits+
This was taped two days after Kookie's birthday... which was TAEKOOK'S 12TH ANNIVERSARY since they've met, September 3rd, 2011. So, of course they had to be together 🤷♀️
🐯❤🐰
❤🐯🏳️🌈🐰💜 Here we have - in the long line of third-party clips and photos this past half a year or so has gifted us - one more scene where Taekook are together, dancing, although surrounded by tons of other folk. The Taekook bubble is real on and off official cameras. Love them!
Taetae and Kookie must have shopped together for vintage Rock Concert T-shirts. They chose PINK FLOYD and DEF LEPPARD... Good choices... Looks like both like rock... and strawberry cake! 😊8🤷♀️
🤭 How petty of HYBE/WEVERSE! After all their translation are 💩 they went out of their way to change this one to... "luvs u"? Really? Like a translation software does slang?
This is as dum as cutting Taekook scenes. It actually confirms their love instead of denying it!...+
It was back in 2011 on September 3rd when TAETAE joined the BTS dorm and officially met KOOKIE for the first time. Today is thus their 12th ANNIVERSARY since they met. Taetae was a slightly delayed birthday gift for Kookie's 14th birthday. And they have been one ever since.🐯❤🐰
Sweet that Taetae picked a men's shirt as a prop for this segment of the music video where he finds the shirt in his bed, smells it to recall his lover, and than tosses it aside. Nice detail. The whole video is superbly done!!!
Kookie managed to finally crack a smile when Taetae put his arm around his waist. And, since most people here are weary to say it like it is, let me... He is not happy. He has not smiled in his last live. He is there due to the pressure of the unfortunate circumstances...
💜💚 Thanks again to _nuna_v and idareu.jk for joining forces and promoting Tae and Kookie with the same advertisement visual in 2 Busan subway stations for the whole month of October 👏👏
He looks so heavenly! He makes every place he walks through, into his own stage, his runway, his big screen. How can a person be so exuberant!? Always in awe with his presence! 🐯👑
TAEHYUNG TAEHYUNG
Feels like Taekook asked us to look and pay attention. Taetae changed into his blue sweats on the plane and Kookie wore his Nike shirt for the TikTok dance, while miles away from eo. The key: they wore these exact same things TOGETHER at a concert. And, they've done it before!+
Who borrowed whose pants??? Or do they buy all in pairs??? Funny... that photo is THE ONLY ONE WITH BLOND TAETAE from the over the 50 photos shared! So, it's recent... 🤷♀️
#Taekook
Wow, the quality of the program was ABISMAL! Walking and walking through irrelevant sites, no activities, riding in a fake train (why not drive them to avoid crowds?), a rushed whisky tasting, eating and eating and eating... plus senseless blah-blah without much substance.+
Kookie was spoiling, on his LIVE, Taetae's cards included with VICON by Dispatch. It was clear from day one that the ace cards, the way he was holding them, had to do with Taetae, but the blind didn't want to see calling us/me obsessed with them. Well, they are obsessed with eo🤷♀️
Dispatch exclusive - Taetae's relationship with them has been interpreted as a deal to cover for him/them, and to not out them. I think the opposite. Dispatch is the biggest taekooker. Tae is paving their way toward a supportive media coverage for when they decide to drop the 🔥+
💜🐰 The history of Kookie's IG:
In 2021 he posted his most private happy moments, had a corky @.
In 2022 he deleted all, changed his @ and layout, reduced his posting to strictly work. He was practically MIA from all social media, except for work-related posts or obligations.+
🐯: "Hi everyone, I turned the live on at home"
... That's what I understood with my minimalist knowledge of Korean, but other translations I saw said the same. Do whatever you want with this information. Goodnight 👑🐰👑🐯

The recent damage done intentionally to Kim Taehyung's image seems to be an orchestrated effort by the labels of the parties involved, + certain press. Looking at everything as a whole, for years now, it's taking shape as a massive boycot of his solo career. It's sad to see,+
❤🐯🏳️🌈🐰💜 We all know what's written on Kookie's knuckles... but... what exactly is he pointing at? Welllll... yeeees.... 👑🐯V
Why? Just to say hello. Texting was out of question for him at that moment, ya know! AND HE WAS VERY PRECISE!
💜 About the
#Taekook
hug... the most aggressive and rude comments I got/seen have been from solo stans of either 🐯 or 🐰... girls who fantasise themselves at their side, or are utterly homophobic. IF YOU LOVE THEM INDIVIDUALLY, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO NOT LOVE THEM TOGETHER!+
💜🐯🏳️🌈🐰💚 K-media reported that Taekook are the top two richest male idols in Korea, in 2022.
Their combined household worth is anywhere between 75M-80M. I hope their next projects double that amount soon, so they can buy homes all over the world and fly only on private jets!👏
Taetae said 🚶😏... which in translation means that: this is his version, (and the only real one), of him walking the streets of Paris with a photographer. Our clever, savage, clear-headed and composed pumpkin. Now he can go and have his makguksu in peace.👑🐯💜✌

#Taekook
. This is reality, and while this exists, why even pay attention to anything else?
To all who said to these recent rumors: "If true, I wish them well" I would like to say this:+
Ever since I saw both Taetae and Kookie making that salute with two fingers, and some other weird signs, I tried to figure out what these meant. Especially because they both smirked cheekily when doing them. Plus, they always have a reason...+
HAHAHA... Taetae is poking fun at Joonie's exercise notes/lists. His includes breathing, sitting down, chilling, napping, dancing ... slowly... he is so funny!!!
🐯👑💜🤭🤪
There is talk about contracts not being renewed. Last year, people attacked me big time when I said that I don't believe that they all renewed. Well, I still don't believe that they 🐯🐰 did. 🏢 needed to make it look like they all did, but there was no confirmation +
💜 I remember how, a few years ago, we collected little
#Taekook
moments like precious stones... a glimps, a touch, a chin flick.
We can no longer do that. Now, every second they exist, in the same place or not, is a Taekook moment.+
The whole fandom debates about how many LAYOVER songs were recorded at Kookie's house. It might not be easy to tell singular and plural appart in Korean. But, remember when Kookie said that he doesn't keep track of Taetae's whereabouts, while they were together all day? Well+
Staff controlled fs scenes, locations, activities, seating positions, and lines of dialog more closely, and kept 🐯 idle for quite a bit. It was obvious when the scenes didn't flow naturally. Still, 🐰🐯 stole a few moments for themselves... as they've done for years 💚💜
ROLLING STONE published an article on Taetae's TINY DESK performance. I noticed that out of the 4 Tiny Desk Korea concerts already aired in Korea, ONLY Taetae's mini-concert was uploaded on NPR's YouTube channel (NPR is the home of Tiny Desk US). Thank you NPR and ROLLING STONE!
💜 😆Someone just threatened to report me to HYBE for... SHIPPING!🤭😆
Didn't HYBE perfect the art of shipping? Without shipping, their whole marketing strategy is nothing.
But just to set the record straight: I DON'T SHIP
#TAEKOOK
. I SUPPORT THEM WITH ALL MY HEART!
💜🐯🏳️🌈🐰💚
Today it's even harder for me to comprehend how people support one but not the other. I see fan sites and biased accounts cutting one out of this pure and sincere couple outing, as if the other wasn't even there. You can't love one but not the person they love the most. You can't
It was announced that Kookie will perform at BBC, aside from SEVEN, a cover of the song LET THERE BE LOVE by OASIS (who Taetae admires), released 15 years ago - an ode to love, dreams, resilience, and devotion. In SEVEN he sings of wanting to love forever.+
❤🐯🏳️🌈🐰💜 If
#Taekook
are not a couple, WHAT'S ALL THIS???
I didn't make this up. This is them talking, telling us THEIR TRUTH! Pay attention!💜❤
... a thread...👇
(and this is just a sample...)
💜🐯🏳️🌈🐰💚 It took 5 month!... and I see that video editing guidelines have slightly changed, at least for this episode. What must hurt some, is pure joy for others, I mean me🤗😍💃🫂
#Taekook
I want them to always be together, in the media, Guinness World Record Book etc because THEY ARE THE MOST POWERFUL DUO. This tie for 1M in 7 sec will be legendary. It has such phenomenal celebrity power, PR power, relationship power ... it's unbelievable! Providential!🐯🏳️🌈🐰
😔 💜 Finally had the chance to watch Joonie's VLIVE. The subs took forever to appear... and now I know why.
Joon said a few truths that were most probably NOT approved by HYBE.
He mentioned having meetings about the controversial Busan concert, while also pointing out ...+
I don't want to hear one more word from them. I want them to dissappear in their own little safe world, in total privacy, and make eachother happy. Don't want to know enlistment details. I'll be patiently waiting for 18 months watching their old LIVES and streaming. Period. +
For a second I thought that Kookie's release is handled adequately: cool MVs, photos, GMA, Spotify podcasts, and so on... BUT THEN...weird things started: improper questions/articles in major media, fs 'threat', improper listing of the artist's name on streaming sites, +
Trying to keep a cool head... I imagine that this precipitated enlistment of all 4 has to do with the 2025 reunion which, wanting or not, has to happen.
1. Busan needs that "hope" to give the 2030 bid a last push. Decision will drop in a week.
2. If Taekook enlists ...+
Notice to followers: since I'm not interested in growing numbers, I'm closely screening all the new ones, and I block everyone who is not a dedicated Taekook supporter, to keep my acc a small but safe place for 🐯🫂🐰. If I blocked you by mistake, let me know. Thank you.
Eternally thankful to streamers who made their own experience more difficult in order to allow us all to see Taetae live. And thanks to all the noonas who went to photograph him. We are not going to get anything from big crap 🤭🤪 ... Tae and Taekook fans are on their own now, +
💜 When I went to Korea I bumped into Ji ChangWook one late evening, smoking, next to his bike. I took a photo and posted it. He saw me and greeted. I was so excited. I adore him. NOBODY jumped to k*ll me on social media. I was just a curious foreigner who got lucky. It's normal+
💜 What I desire for
#Taekook
for the upcoming months? I wish them to have at least the freedom they had in Vegas. I want them to be free of scripted interactions, to be able to move freely just the two of them, and, to be able to come live when and as they want, to say hi to us!
💜 Park Hyo Shin debuted in 1999 when Tae was a toddler. Tae surely grew up listening to his trot songs and ballads. He is 40 right now, and Tae must look up to him, like you look up to your mentors and teachers. It is an amazing journey for Tae to be able to share such moments!
💜 In his vlive NAMJOON said that the group believes that not getting awards like the Grammy is because they are perceived as the product of HYBE and not good enough on their own. He wants more control over the artistic output.
In the group vlive before that, he said that+
For who recalls the lyrics of STIGMA, I'm certain that Kookie's indirect message today, on his jacket, as well as Tae's symbolic t-shirt inscription speak volumes. Both hint at the stigmatisation of homosexuality, and are a clear sign that THEY🐯🐰 CAME TO TELL US SOMETHING!+
😖🙃 HYBE'SINVOLVEMENT... looking at the "hiatus" situation, I mentioned that their label is still heavily involved in their current activities. Not only that endorsements are still flowing, and they were committed to do the Busan promo, and RUN, HYBE has a hand in everything...+

's Insta choices since they opened their personal accounts, Dec 2021/Jan 2022:
Taetae posted this set of photos of them two🐰🐯 soon after opening his Insta account.
+Staff posts the train-scene filming schedule: June 18. The dots are connected: TAE AND KOOKIE HAD MATCHING COUPLE TSHIRTS, AND HAD PLANNED TO WEAR THEM AT THE CONCERT, OR AT LEAST ON THE SAME DAY. THE TSHIRTS HAVE THE WORD "SWEETHEART" PRINTED ON THEM. It took a lot of planning!
