Jimin/JK Live Highlights- 6/12

아미이이 솨리 질러 (ARMYYY SOHREE JILLEUH)
= ARMY, SCREAM!

My commentary in green.

• JK: "I definitely like seafood"
• Jimin: "today, onions are hitting the spot"

• our team prepared a lot for us to eat so we could have a hearty meal
• Jimin: I was so hungry - even while on stage, I was hungry
• Jimin: what do you call this?
  JK: ...? 불오리? (bool oree = fire duck, 불+something usually = spicy something)
  Jimin: okay bool oree.. bool oree? what is this dragon ball?
  JK: hehehehe

yes - we stan nerds.
this is "Broly" - a character from Dragon Ball (pronounced very similarly in Korean)

JK: Broly is weaker than Goku right?
Jimin: oh he's strong..
JK: no I mean later.. I watched up to the part where Broly wrecked Goku..
Jimin: then you watched a lot..
JK: but I don't remember the plot in the middle
Jimin: that makes sense - there are sooo many episodes

-they continue to eat-

Jimin shares about how when he was little, soy sauce with wasabi mixed in looked so visually unappealing, turning that murky greenish/brown, and he used to only see it when they'd go out to eat and older ahjushi's that were smoking would have a small sauce dish with the murkey green/brown stuff - so he thought that sauce (soy sauce with wasabi) was only meant for smokers

• as he's speaking, I guess a piece of food falls out - and he apologizes and gets a napkin off screen and then apologizes again for being messy "I'm not normally this messy"
• the remaining 5 members went out to eat at a restaurant but these two hung back cuz they were exhausted

JK: after the concert, I should've gone to workout but I couldn't cuz I had no strength left today
Jimin: ayy.. hey please stop that
JK: hehehe
Jimin: REST forreal..

Jimin: today's live, it's not us two because we're the Busan guys..
JK: that's right
Jimin: it's because the two of us are exhausted ..we couldn't go out
JK: everyone else, minus the two of us, has gone out to eat
Jimin: they're incredible

• Jimin craves a bit of soju with his samgyupsal (it's like a burger and coke, peanut butter and jelly, if you're of age - it's samgyupsal/beef kbbq and soju; chicken & beer; etc.) but they both recognize that they have another concert the next day and do not drink
• they really love the Korean food - like it's really hitting the spot and they both comment that they're Korean for sure cuz there's nothing like Korean food
• JK mentions that while they were enlisted they'd been talking about making content together and one of those ideas would just be to film themselves eating and then just do an ending greet when finished - JK: "feels like we're making that piece of content right now"
• Jimin: didn't we have so many content ideas for "니가 뭔데" .. I mean .."이게 맞아?"

*니가 뭔데? (neega mwundae) = who do you think you are?"
*이게 맞아? (eegae majah) = (literally) is this right? but the English title they came up with for the series is "Are you sure?" because that's how Koreans use "이게 맞아?" like "...are you/we sure about this..?"

• JK eats a spicy pepper and is struggling in the bg, when Jimin sees - he's like pshhh and goes right for it and JK warns him and says 'you'll probably regret it' and Jimin is stunned for a little while as he waits for the heat to hit and then giggles when it is, indeed, very spicy

also - if you've never had a spicy pepper in Korea from the countryside - it is a different level... i LOVE spicy food - but i will always ask or take the tiniesttt nibble if I'm unsure because taking a big bite of that pepper will ruin you for like 20minutes minimum. it's pure pain flavored~ Jimin/JK have prettyyy high tolerance for spice but if Jimin is like panting, that meant this was a crazy one

that said, using these in BROTHS/jiggaes, gives it the perfect edgeeee that will bring you back from the dead

JK grabs the lemon ARIH: ARMY, have you had ARIH yet? wait is it out yet? has this come out yet?
Jimin: ...TAKE AN INTEREST [in like.. their product collab]
JK: i'm ALWAYS deeply interested, I eat it all the time
Jimin: actually.. since it's always just given to us, I guess it's fair you might not know (Jimin is the sweetest hyung)

Jimin: ughh we can't eat such spicy things, we'll be all puffy tomorrow
JK: you can just get up and run

• JK suggests that they take one topic from a comment and have a longer discussion about that
• Jimin gets up to read the comments and then says "ok it's in english" and sits back down
• JK: "can't read the english? lemme show you whats up" and gets up to read the comments - "yoongi marry me"

• JK: yoongi hyung? okay let's talk about yoongi hyung
  Jimin: yoongi hyung got huge all of a sudden [the words he uses implies that yoongi has gotten bigger in a buff way, not that he got chubbier - and while they have no qualms over calling each other chubby or thin or whatever [all in love] but this is just not that]
• Jimin: we hadn't seen him... like 11 days later he just popped outta nowhere looking huge/buff
• they talk about how running a marathon is not in the cards for them, no matter how fit, especially not while they're on tour - because it's not healthy or wise - it'd definitely take a toll on their ability to perform and they fully acknowledge training for a marathon is its own beast and has to be done with intention - that about 3-5k is a good distance to aim to run on average
• okay next topic - Jimin goes to read the next comment... "yoongi marry me"
• JK: yoongi hyung keeps coming out
  Jimin: okay how was yoongi hyung during the concert today?
  JK: idk if it was cuz it's Busan but he gave more energy today don't you think?
  Jimin: i think he was really in a good mood today

• JK: we're all looking out for him
  Jimin: eyy of course, we have eyes on the back of our heads (aka "we're always watching out for him/each other)
• Jimin: thank you so much for coming, we heard that there were issues, we're not sure of the details but we know they're [relevant staff] are on it, and it seems it's been sorted - and we asked them to handle better; we wanted to gift you all but there were issues in the distribution process - we are sorry
  JK: i'll apologize on behalf of Big Hit
  Jimin: i think we needed more people to handle the distribution process
  JK: ARMY were talking about it in comments
• Jimin: anyway being back in our hometown performing has been great but to be honest, up until yesterday - we had no sense of it being our hometown or Europe or the U.S. because as soon as we got here we had rehearsals and then went straight to our hotels - we couldn't feel it until being able to do our closing comments in Korean and then on the way home, we passed the Haeundae familar roads.. and that felt familiar/like home; please note that I'm not down - I'm just low energy because I am depleted from giving our all on stage
  (looking at JK, gently scolding boba): you look exhausted, please listen to me for once - just once - k?? guard your health - you're in your 30s- you think being the youngest means you can just do whatever and be okay??
  JK: i have something to film soon so I should lose weight
  Jimin: me too [as in he also has something to film], losing weight is fine, but you cannot starve yourself/skip your meals, understand?
  JK: yaaa..
  Jimin: pleaseeee listen to meeeeee
  JK: ayy you are very naggy today
  Jimin: BECAUSEEE I've told you so many times before but at the end.. you eughhh just.. adskjg;ajffkag
• JK [changing the subject]: sooo.. what's everyone's favorite ARIH flavor?
  Jimin [dad joke mode]: if you pull your *jongARI (ARIH) backwards it's game over - hehehehehe
  JK: -_____- what is pulling your jongari backwards even mean..
  Jimin: member that time? ..it was crazy...

*아리 (ARIH) = the brand of noodles and bevs started in collaboration with BTS

*종아리(jongari) = calf (as in the part of your leg, not baby cow)

Jimin figured this would be the optimus prime time to stick in this pun after nagging JK about his eating habits out of love loll to soften it

• JK likes mango, orange, lemon
• Jimin: tomorrow's our birthday
  JK: it's our 14th anniversary right?
  Jimin: it's our 13th..
  JK: oh? right.. time goes quick
• Jimin: guys.. Jung Kook is 30
  JK: I'm 28.
  Jimin: but it's okay we can keep going
  JK: of courseee~ we're still spry
  Jimin: we're gonna kill it tomorrow
• they briefly discuss how younger artists are all so energetic in their performances and acknowledge how talented they are but that yes, some of the energy, could be cuz of their age
• Jimin: let's try to dance better
  JK: we need to be strategic
  Jimin: sexy strategic
  JK: sexy Jimin...
  Jimin: *sekjung?
  JK: *sekji?

as you probably are aware if you're the type of ARMY to have found my translation site, Koreans do a LOTTTTT of abbreviating using the first syllables of words (e.g., 달방 (dalbang, from dalyeorah bangtan) = run BTS; 치맥 (chimaek, from chicken and maekju) = chicken & beer; etc.)

because Jung Kook just called Jimin "sexy Jimin" - Jimin calls Jung Kook "sek-Jung" cuz the way "sexy" is written phonetically in Korean would be '섹시' (sek-shi = sexy)

so, SEKSHI JUNG KOOK = *SEKJUNG; SEKSHI JIMIN = *SEKJI

if you're thinking... hey, that's not that funny - you'd be 10000% correct. they're exhausted and probably deliriously tired loll this is like the twilight hour after a long day of work where you have 2 brain cells left to your name and try your best to make it through

immediately after this little moment, Jimin apologizes for the dad joke HAHAHA

Jimin, between giggles, basically says we're actually so tired, i think we're really tired
JK: so we came to Busan on a bus, and I was knockedd out on the bus
Jimin: you were sleeping really well, i watched you sleep
JK: so then last night I lied down to go to sleep... fell asleep.. and woke up and the sun was coming up.. and I was well-rested ..so I checked the time and I'd only slept two hours
Jimin: ??! oh wow you must've slept deeply on the bus ride then...
JK: and so I've been awake since then
Jimin: ?!? SO YOU'VE BEEN AWAKE THIS WHOLE TIME SINCE THEN??

JK:nods:
Jimin: eyyyy it makes so much sense that you're this exhausted right now... youuu....
JK: yea so like my diet + sleep issues...
Jimin: and you didn't get enough sleep
JK: this must mean I'm not a pro ..I'm an amateur
Jimin: no that's not it - it's been a long time since we'd taken the bus - [bus] conditions could easily make someone sleepy
JK:nods:
Jimin: if there are days like this in the future.. I'll wake you up hehehe
JK::nods nonononono::
Jimin: if you're sleeping, I'll go up to you and [whispers] don't be nervous
JK:laughing, exhausted: whyy would I be nervous to ride the bus

Jimin: I can see it already - if I whisper that - you.. cuz you know how you never open your eyes? just your cheeks/mouth move up like this

• they proceed to whisper 'don't be nervous' in gigglefits and i question all my life choices for the umpteenth time this week - what am i translating
• Jimin: we're 13.. so we're a middle schooler now
  JK: it's about time we hit our adolescence
• someone with username 'mei013' comments ㅋㅋㅋ (kekeke/hehehe) and Jimin and JK, I'm like 90% sure they're quoting some meme but I don't know which meme, and are like 'heyyy, dontchu laughhh' [this is not a serious condemnation]
• they briefly mention an SNL skit featuring someone who has a weird satoori accent and say how funny it is
• Jimin lovingly nags JK a bit more about how he has to make sure to eat carbs, at least some - JK whines right back that he ate breakfast, lunch, and [now] dinner today; Jimin: oh you did? okay.. good job
• Normal lyrics
  • 유명세 와 fame, yea the things we choose
  • show me love, show me hate, 반복되는 춤
  • 조명이 꺼지면 찾아드는 꿈, 잠깐 이 세상이 날 잊었으면

• 지구는 돌고 난 도망치는 중, will you color me red, will you color me blue
• 네모난 화면 뒤의 그 가쁜 숨, is it different for me, is it different for you?
• 알아이젠 너무 익숙해진 걸

mid-coming up with the lyrics, Jimin cracks up because Taehyung has been really growling his parts - he imitates a growl and then bursts out laughing

• they talk about how V looks 10 years younger with his newly dyed hair and they both gush over how handsome V looks - Jimin: remarkable, JK: i like/so good (x3)

• Jimin: we don't know the lyrics to the rap lines verses
• Jimin: one more night is so hard..
  JK: it's so high

the Z sound is one of the hardest sounds for Koreans to pronounce because they tend to default to 'ㅈ' which is more of a 'j', so to have 3 of these in a row very quickly for the line in "Z, Z, Z, don't wake me up" is probably something they have to focus on very intently to nail live

• and then they talk for a WHILEEE about how difficult it is go muster up the willpower to go and wash up because they're so tired - that if they sit once they hit their hotel rooms, it's game over - so they have to make a B line to the bathroom, strip down, and for Jimin "water has to touch my hair" for the work to begin loll truly what is this right now that I'm translating... why.. learn Korean at what cost ...spiraling on this fine monday evening...
• then they discuss the perils of doomscrolling on their phones - how HOURS go by without even thinking about it
• Jimin's feed is filled with a lot of 'top 5' videos - top 5 funniest moments, top 5 dog vids, top 5 cat vids, top 5 vids of people tripping, etc. where it goes from 5 to 1
  JK: why do people make videos like that?
  Jimin: but we watch until the end because we wanna know which one made it to #1
  JK: is that the smart move?
  Jimin: maybe.. ..it's that they know how to make money

JK: ...maybe I should a top 5 video of edits of you, hyung
Jimin: me??
JK: yup

Jimin: no don't you do it.. if you start, i don't think i'd be able to stop you - how far do you want to ruin my image ::jungkook nearly spits out his soup from laughing at this comment: i think i'd be annoyed with which vids of me you choose to filter
JK::laughs::
Jimin: right though??

• anyway, everyone - tomorrow is our birthday (they said for the 476th time)
  JK: ughh i really don't wanna wash up
  Jimin: shall I kick you into the shower?? I can kick you there with my feet
  JK: i don't even think that'd work.. even if you turned on the water, i'd come back out
  Jimin: ..oh then you win.. for me, if I get in contact with water - I find a way somehow
  JK: i have to emotionally prepare to shower ::starts cracking his neck::
  Jimin: hey you have to stop doing that - that's dangerous - how many times have you been shipped off to the doctors for doing stuff like that
  JK: zero times..
  Jimin: is it because you have a thicker neck? ...but tbh you don't even have a thick neck.. is it cuz of your muscles??

JK wants Cyberpunk Edgerunner II to come out
Jimin wants to watch "Backroom" and is playing some version of Palworld, sometimes all night, a game which has earned the nickname "Pokemon with guns" -JK wants to play the fully released version coming July 10

• Jimin: cuz i like architecture/construction stuff
  JK: okay how about studying to be an architect
  Jimin essentially explains that he can do the hard work but he lacks the creativity, he's good at making stuff but coming up with what to make is the hard part

Jimin: ARMY who came to Busan and watched us live, thank you to all of you and we hope you got back safely/happily - we have the concert tomorrow, so we'll probably head out now- both of us are kinda "*maerrong" so...we're going to go rest
JK: maeerronggg

• JK: but we came [live] cuz we missed you and we kinda wanted to show you this version of ourselves too - when we have zero functioning brain cells... granted.. .that is all the time but ..
  Jimin: what time is it right now?
  JK: it's exactly 11:53
  Jimin: so let's just do 7 more minutes and then end with 'congratulations!'
• JK: i think the apple and pineapple flavors [of ARIH] don't suit me well
  Jimin: hehehehe
  JK: i know it's ours but there's such a thing as preference
  Jimin tries the apple: mmm
• JK: ....i wanna be good at doing impressions
  Jimin: i'm so full
• Jimin re: apple ARIH: i think it tastes good
  JK: it does taste good but I like the other flavors better [i deeply do not like this flavor lmao my favorite of the dual biotic sodas is the grapefruit by FARRR #jhope]
• Jimin tells us to drink water and that he tries to drink at least 4 liters regularly - but as he doesn't drink while eating JK asks "how can you not drink while you eat??" Jimin: cuz i have to focus on eating the food (LOLL) JK: ohh (like seconds after agreeing, i think he realizes this doesn't really make sense HAHAHA)

Jimin starts drinking water about 30 minutes after eating
JK says that's a really good habit
Jimin: drink water when you wake up and.. actually I need to stop drinking water before bed cuz .. you know what i do?
JK: ...
Jimin: did you know that while I'm sleeping if I wake up cuz I have to pee - I do everything not to go so I can just stay in bed.. cuz the second you get up .. it's done
JK: true
Jimin: so I stay put no matter what. i will not go. i become one with the blanket and do not move heheheh "you will not move"
JK: but then doesn't that wake you up?
Jimin: no i force it and sleep... last night I drank 4-500ml bottles of water.. and was in agony all night
JK: ...is this like incredible?? or just dumb...
Jimin: no. I just said 'no you can't' and stayed asleep ..and my hands stayed like this telling me 'you can't go'

JK: do the halves of your brain operate separately?
Jimin: i don't know but i'm full and i'm sleepy
JK: we gotta wash.. once I get back i'm just gonna lie down for just an hour..
Jimin: no if I lie down for an hour.. i will wind up washing up tomorrow morning.. i'm so suree.. i've done that beforeee.. where I'll go sit on my sofa and then wake up at 6am the next day.. wash up then.. and then i can't go back to sleep so ..i'm just up..

• with 3 minutes left, they decide to play rock, paper, scissors for who has to eat a raw garlic with no sauce or anything, 3 rounds for the 3 minutes left, the terms are accepted...

• so they clarify at this point that it's not best 2 out of 3 but who wins 3 times total = winner

Jimin says "I can see myself eating the garlic somehow" HAHAHAHA
they both consult the rock paper scissor gods

• JK renegotiates ...terribly LOLL... he says one more time and if JK wins, he gets to dip it in ssamjang (doenjang + gochujang + garlic + sesame oil = the most basic ssamjang recipe, other ppl/restaurants might give or take a few extra things but i like to keep it pure LOL), if JK loses - he'll add another tiny garlic clove to the punishment - Jimin readily agrees cuz he has nothing to lose either way
  Jimin: why are you doing this though?
  JK: youuu suggested it sir
  Jimin: hahahahahaha

• Jimin: let's sing for them once
• Busan nuggets sing the birthday song for ARMY
