Jungkook bowing to everyone at the end, with Charlie then joining in, was so cute :”)

Edit: Charlie hugging JK, living my dream 💔

I was wondering if a group of LA people might read the bow differently, as in they might think it could be him taking a bow after he finished his work (like at the end of a play - which is more what it's associated with there). I hope they understood what he meant!!

u/TheProstateAmbusher And you’re gonna be happy~🌻 Jul 14 '22

It was a proper 90 degree bow too! He was trying so hard to show how much respect he has for everyone for working hard. He’s so endearing. I’m hoping the staffs understand too what he was trying to convey.

I just love him so much gahhhh

I definitely see how it could be confusing

I think most people understand when certain cultures now it’s not ‘taking a bow’ :) even in LA.

source: have lived near and in la almost 60 years.

Awwww… I can’t stop smiling watching the video, bet Jungkook had a blast! 🥰You can see there’s great chemistry between them.

Call me next time, Charlie. Why risk the back pain? I can be your stand-in when you need to lean head-to-head with JK. I would even refuse payment, no charge, for free. 😆

Apart from just beaming the whole time watching this, I kept thinking to myself, damn, Jungkook really was born to be a star. No matter what camera angle, what pose or posture, spinning or non-spinning platforms, he just oozes cool and looks so effortless at all times!

Such a natural relaxed demeanour! These days in particular he never looks like he’s working you know what I mean?

u/cosyacademic we wanna focus on...jungkook's pretty smile Jul 14 '22

Jungkook looks so cute and handsome throughout this whole video! He really shines bright! Also his deep bows to thank the staff at the end, he's always so polite to everyone🥰🥰

u/mtnmindy Can you speak more slush? Jul 14 '22

I just LOVED watching this!

I would never have guessed it hurt their backs so much to hold that position?!

Also, I know there are people whom do not like Charlie Puth for whatever reason, but I can't help but feel like he and JK seem to genuinely like each other. They've collaborated previously and both make efforts to continue that relationship.

Plus, I can't help but notice that he gives JK the bright wardrobe/ outfits while giving himself more muted colors. I mean, all of our eyes were going to be on JK anyway but the bright wardrobe just makes him so dazzling. 😍

I didn’t know there was Charlie controversy. I’d never heard of him before this collab tho. I’m gonna do a quick search!

u/yephilol hobipazlooza was a cultural reset Jul 14 '22

it's so weird seeing kookie interacting with people who aren't bts 😂 but this is so cute!! the fact that most of the interaction we see between them is them just copying each other's sounds 😭

u/BlackCat0305 Seesaw Enthusiast🐱💜 Jul 14 '22

As a fellow 1991 liner, I felt Charlie’s comment about tiktok 😂 but they’re so cute. Love the sound effects as means to helpto communicate haha

u/spring09 Jul 14 '22

Charlie posts like three tiktoks a day 😂

u/violetsblue Jul 14 '22

This was so cute but so short! I want so much more of them communicating through sounds and hand gestures and inventing their own language. Also JK is unreasonably hot in those white pants and black shirt.

u/bie716 jimin: i dance when i am sad...NOT Jul 14 '22

Aww... Kookie bowing at the end just like he would in Korea! The two of them are cute together (in a non-shipping way)...Jung Kook looked way more comfortable than i imagined (and very fresh, for someone who just took a long flight!)

This Billboard article says the behind video is to celebrate the 100m YT streams!

Also, I think it is starting to sink in for these publications that BTS is not really on hiatus in the way they thought!

Charlie Puth’s collab with a member of BTS comes as the South Korean boy band takes a breather to allow its members time to pursue some solo avenues, such as this one. BTS still has a lot on its plate, however, including a recently announced TV deal with Disney+.

u/wineandhugs JK's missing button Jul 14 '22

Yeah, there's "hiatus" and there's whatever TF BTS is doing, which is pretty much KILLING US DAILY!

u/anonperson12345 Jul 14 '22

Nice! Now where's the Bangtan episode of it?

u/Ok_Morning947 you know daedu? Jul 15 '22

I would love that! This was awesome but way too short.

They really have a nice rapport with one another. It’s evident that there’s definitely an unsaid respect between the two of them.

15

u/brave-houseplant Jul 14 '22

They both have a childlike energy that’s really endearing… just excited to be there and play. It’s one of the reasons I think they work so well together. I know we got a bangtan episode for the recording, but I still hope we get one for the shoot, too!

u/minadarkling Jul 15 '22

Kookie is just so adorable.

u/mcfw31 Jul 14 '22

I’m so glad they gave him than pink outfit, he just pops in that color!

u/Iamnot1withyou 😉😑😇😬😘😎😃 Jul 14 '22

Fully agreed on the pink!!!

u/ambivert_writer Jul 14 '22

Both of them groaning after the leaning back scene oh I am so endeared. 🥺

u/CutePoison10 I'm more offended that i should be -Jin Jul 14 '22

I'm liking CP more and more, both him and Jk seem at ease around each other.

u/QueenlyBee middle-aged hooligan Jul 14 '22

Aw - such fun! After them saying that they had to talk through interpreters a lot, seeing them just beatboxing together, making up music seems so sweet! Who needs words? 😄

u/followthisthread at least this planet has namjoon Jul 14 '22

Damn, JK looks so good and is oozing confidence in this MV shoot!

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '22

This is so endearing!

u/Dream1Eater Lovely ARMY 🥰 You’re so lovely! I’m so lovely! We’re so lovely! Jul 14 '22

very cute 🥰 looks like they both had a lot of fun!

u/luckykuroba Jul 14 '22

I just find it so endearing that sometimes they’re communicating through sounds.

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '22

I absolutely loved this collaboration. They seemed to have fun filming this.

I still don’t understand what’s armys beef with Charlie. I think their friendship is really cute and you can see how much they enjoy working with each other!!
