9 June 2023
Mark that date in your diaries. 1 PM KST.
We have a new song coming our way folks.
TAKE TWO
A song recorded by all 7 members.
Well, here we go.
Let the celebrations begin.
Vmin and songs… Come on!
I don’t know why not more people look at all the song connections we have between Vmin. Of course they could mean nothing romantic, but come on!
To start with we already have 4 songs with explicit connections between Vmin:
The 95z Graduation song, 4 o’clock, Taehyung’s Christmas song and of course Friends. Then we also have smaller things like Jimin and Taehyung’s covers for Promise and Winter Bear being connected to each other.
Let’s look at a rough timeline with things we know are facts.
2016: The dumpling incident happens (something Vmin both says brought them closer), and the reconciliation at dawn which is later used as inspiration for two songs. Jimin says he wants to be Taehyung’s strength. Taehyung starts writing on 4 o’clock. Lie and Stigma are released. Jimin says he wants to give a song to the person he loves for Christmas. Jimin and Taehyung each release a small video of them singing “Have yourself a marry little Christmas”, Jimin’s video is a reply to Taehyung’s. Christmas is a holiday for couples in Korea.
2017: Jimin and Taehyung call each other soulmates for the first time. Taehyung starts writing the Christmas song sometime during 2017. Taehyung is denied to sing the Christmas song with Jimin because it’s not fitting for two men to sing the romantic lyrics. Release of 4 o'clock, which has a reference to the gay movie “Moonlight” and is directly connected to Jimin and Taehyung, with the memories about fighting and Taehyung waiting for Jimin in a park and talking things out. Only Namjoon mentions the connection.
2018: In that year’s FESTA Taehyung says he will give Jimin a song. During tour Taehyung talks about the Christmas song on Vlive specifically mentioning wanting to originally sing it with Jimin and the lyrics being unfit for two men to sing according to the producer. He says he doesn’t think he will release the song. The same day Jimin was out taking photos in Brooklyn, one which was of the phone case Taehyung personally designed (matching his own phone case) and gave Jimin with the word “Fungus” written on it as a reference to Serendipity. The Promise cover is shot by Tae (“Special thanks to V, best photographer.”) and the song is released only minutes after Taehyung’s birthday ended.
2019: Jimin accidentally reveals Scenery in a vlive and aplogizes by tweeting he loves Taehyung. A month after Promise is released Scenery comes out and has a reference to 4 o'clock, specifically the park scene we know has connections to Jimin. Jimin tweets a video with the song. Winter Bear comes out and is Jimin’s favorite song in the world and he promotes it a lot. He calls it Baby Bear. The two bears on the cover are a gift from Jimin. Jimin says he is possesive over the song and his friend. He talks about the song in three vlives and hasn’t stopped singing it since. Taehyung calls Jimin his “One and only best friend” during FESTA. Taehyung plays his Christmas song again on vlive showing he still has the song but haven’t worked on it and mentions it is a male-female duet now.
2020: Jimin writes, composes and produces “Friends” where Vmin sing about being soulmates and to stay together for eternity after BTS is over. It is the first song Jimin has produced for an official BTS album. Taehyung keeps naming Jimin as his best friend (Festa 2019, Japan FC magazine and introduced Jimin as his best friend to the girl from the ON MV). Taehyung also mentioned the dumpling fight as a moment which he felt “released arrows with various emotions pent up” in his heart. Taehyung releases Sweet Night about feelings changing for your best friend and in an interview about it says he tends to write about things he has felt. During FESTA Taehyung himself for the first time talks about 4 o'clock and the story behind it being connected to Jimin. They also talk about wanting to work together more for many different things. Right after the release of that unit interview with Jimin he comes to Vlive, talks about his mixtape and mentions a song which is like a continuation to 4 o'clock. On ITS and in the BE planning vlive Vmin mentions wanting to work together again. Jimin even makes Taehyung promise him to write him a song.
Then we get yet another Vmin collaboration for BE and in general Vmin both seem to want to work together a lot as well as support each other in their solo projects. I think it is even possible Vmin are some of the members who have expressed wanting to work together in one way or another the most. Which says a lot in my opinion.
I’m wondering
Are you my best friend
Feel’s like a river’s rushing through my mind
I wanna ask you
If this is all just in my head
My heart is pounding tonight
I wonder
If you
Are too good to be true
And would it be alright if I
Pulled you closer
How could I know
One day I’d wake up feeling more
This alone should be enough to look closer at Vmin, and there is a whole lot more than that when you do look closer.
You might have read my song analysis? When I made my first analysis for possible Vmin song connections I literally only had Lie, Stigma, 4 o’clock and Serendipity (and DNA) to work with… A lot has happened since then.
Vmin - Scenery, Promise and song connections
Big Hit, BTS, Vmin and LGBT

Vmin - Winter Bear analysis
Sweet Night - Song analysis
More thoughts about Taehyung’s song Sweet Night
Vmin analysis - “Friends”
As you can see I have written several song analysis which includes a lot of other details if you are curious. But even just looking at the facts without trying to make connections or speculation I think there is enough to acknowledge Vminies at least have something to talk about without reaching when it comes to Vmin and their songs.
I hope you enjoyed reading. Please like and reblogg. 95z is love!
WARNING, something like a lazy update to this post about Vmin and songs, and why Vminies (or at least me) are either going crazy or Vmin are simply evil.
Vmin please…
Jimiin literally being like “You know what, Stigma is pretty sweet, I am going to name this pretty LGBT+ friendly song as my favorite out of all BTS’ discography.”
*high fives with Tae*
The way Vmin’s grip over me won’t let me stop thinking about how much I can update this post since Sweet Night. Like they just won’t stop….
Like Stigma was one of those songs that didn’t have a distinct Vmin connection until now despite the theme being very interesting and the lyrics even kind of matching Lie. 🥺
And this is of cours just one thing to add… I literally wrote these 4 part analysis of Vmin songs (though in a rather different way since it has Spring Day as a central part): Vmin song analysis - Winter in August - Part 1, Vmin song analysis - Winter in August - Part 2, Vmin song analysis - Winter in August - Part 3, Vmin song analysis - Winter in August - Part 4 as well as a more proper post on Vmin analysis - 4 o’clock about things after this original post.
My brain just keeps going, adding more and more. It’s not my fault!
There are the Christmas songs of 2020, Snow Flower and Christmas Love…. With some rather similar lyrics and of course the timing. Not to mention a bunch of other Tae snippet songs with interesting lyrics.
Hello? Tae’s december 2021 never to be released song has something to say:
Four AM in the night
Sunrise is on the way
Just take a hold on me
Cause I’m ready
And the light will guide us to a million stars
My love, just hold my hand
Oh, and you also have Jimin releasing “With you” in april 2022, a song including lyrics like:
Forever and ever and ever
Only you can take my heart
Dear my love love love
I wanna stay…
Which is just funny because this is literally Jimin to Taehyung a few months before the release, (when he maybe already knew the song was gonna happen?):
What are the odds? One Tae song with “My love” on december 10th 2021, followed by the birthday tweet on december 30th and then in april a Jimin song using “My love” as well. 👀 Like what am I supposed to do after 6 years of matching Vmin songs and a brain filled with theories?
And then Tae also sang With you in his live. (And how much do we need that duet to happen? Yes I know it’s foolish to even try to dream it at this point.)
And what followed if not Jimin talking more about Tae’s songs and album than Tae himself did?
I know things are vastly different now compared to just a month ago for all ARMY… but I couldn’t not bring this up. This isn’t a proper analysis or anything, just a lot of new things that adds on to the already long list of “Vmin song things” so to speak.
And it doesn’t exactly help that BTS has also jumped on the “It’s perfectly normal to fall in love with your best friend” agenda with their official song.
If I never met you
Oh, what am I like, baby
Every time I miss you (Miss you)
Those words that have became a habit
(It’s so true)
You’re my best friend
For the rest of my life
I wish I could turn back time
I know it’s for ARMY, but them using best friend in a romantic sense? AND on top of that referencing Spring day? Yeah, like I wasn’t fragile enough already.
Pretty sure Vmin finally agreed to just assassinate me. HA HA HA!
🤪
(Good night everyone, tumblr was dumb so I had to remake this twice)
(P.S Can’t believe out of ALL BTS songs Jimin not only thought of Stigma, but chose it as his favorite song. Wild.)
soft 🥺
Traces: Magic wedding leaf
aka the perilla leaf fight
I've having too much fun making Traces posts :D There's a dozen drafts lined up now because Jinkook is always on record and there are so many pieces to the same puzzles. I especially love the continuity over days, weeks, months and even years. I still remember last year when I declared wanting to write and analyze Jinkook but it's actually impossible to do so because everything is in their content already. There's not much room left for inferences. Maybe I'll still work on that one post about the history of shipping since these days, it looks like most shippers are at most 2-3 years into the fandom. There are some things you just have to be there realtime to know what it was like :/
Who knew this quarrel could have such a long continuity?
I'm cackling every time I think of Jk's pout during the debate, and even more now that they've shown the Busan concert episode.
But seriously Bighit, we get ok. Stop exposing them.
The videos were released out of order so they've been arranged by sequence of actual filming.
the jinkook agenda is to spread as much joy and humor through the world as possible and we love them for it.
Gif/Photo Collection 1.3: When they aren't busy boxing
Jinkook is loving.
Another data gobbler. When in doubt, find Wifi.
More of Jinkook and their love language. Even when these two are just being affectionate, it's a tad bit intense.
True bros don't pat, they squeeze.
Waist yours is mine
Mine is also mine
The kangaroo always has his hyung's back
'Can't keep my hands to myself~'
'Head, SHOULDERS, knees and toes...'
And butt and shoulders and thighs.
And dk what this means but here you go
Meet Cute Anniversary (Part 1)
*Edited (10.26.22): new example
(Right now my tl is being filled with clips of Jinkook moments in Memories of 2021 and as always offbeat, I'm making a post about their first meeting instead of fawning over these new interactions...
let's get it)
🤓
Bro I had no idea I'd be able to make a whole post centered around just one date:
June 4th 2011
~20110604~
Basically, when editing for fact checks and grammar I realized this post had turned into a compilation of Jk's obsession with 110604. Jin... he's obsessed with something else (part 2?). It got a bit long so I decided it'll be broken into parts.
So to summarize first, June 4th 2011 is the day Jinkook met each other.
Both of them have been pretty consistent with how they try to bring up this first meeting when talking about anything at all. Even if the topic is remotely related, here they go, here's their chance.
Part 1 is almost entirely centered around Jk's mention of the date. Like nothing else. Not the details of what happened on that day, just this date, these numbers.
There's an aspect of this that links up with how they present information on camera (camera awareness): one of them tends to 'claim' a thing special to the both of them as something individual, and the other half would remain quiet. More often so it's Jin who is quiet and Jk who claims it. (Oof, consistent with Jk's obsessive streak. "What's mine is mine. What's yours is mine.")
Note that Jin isn't unaware whenever Jk brings it up. His reactions are always interesting.
Examples given below, Jk tends to fib a little about what the date means.
He usually gives a vague answer - it's the day he joined Bighit, or the day he joined BTS, or the day he joined the dorm. Tbh all these explanations are similar but it's interesting that he can't get his story straight for such an important date.
He's disproved his words over the years numerous times too.
Like during the behind-the-scenes for their Dope MV he held up the police baton and said the numbers [20110424] was probably the date he was cast, the day he joined BTS. Subsequently, a lot of armys trend #xyearswithjungkook every year on April 24th.
Another instance that disproves Jk's claims is during that chaotic JijinJung vlive. Jin was struggling to tell a 5 sec story of Jk mispronouncing an English word and in the midst of Jimin teasing Jin with selfcam mode, Jin and Jk were also arguing about the logistics of when they first met:
jinkook jinkooking 🫰
namjoon, probably: smile and nod y’all, smile and nod 😀
jungkook just wanted to be close to his jin hyung 🥺
which are you? team crust or no crust? 😆
