every time i see that perfect man performance (yes it came up on my dash again) i think about what jimin did there

like i'm new i don't really know how many performances they had cut for timing or other excuses back in the day but i've heard about the music shows being especially bad to bts bc big hit lacked money and influence

and this clip i've seen of the previous performance very clearly running over time and jimin just ... deciding to step out on stage (with the others hurrying after him) so the show can't just decide to cancel their performance before they even start ...

like namjoon wasn't there to take care of them so he just stepped up

and then i just now (i'm slow sometimes ok) realized that the jacket removal wasn't just for effect or him getting ready to go hard in the choreo -

it was meant to ensure not only that they wouldn't cut his solo lines but ALSO they couldn't cut out part of the performance for time: it would be too obvious because of jimin clearly not wearing the jacket in the latter part of the song. people would wonder where it went etc

so not only did he not let the network get away with cutting their performance, plus prevented it being sliced and spliced to make up time, but he created a huge viral moment that benefitted both the network show AND bts

like what kind of five-dimensional thinking ...

#the park jimin effect is a real thing #i kept thinking on why he seemed kind of pissed off when he was so jazzed rehearsing in the hallways #and then i was watching more stuff about their debut and the network/big three fuckery #and realized that must have some kind of lasting mental and emotional fallout for the guys #but i'm just in awe of his solution: like no tantrum no complaining but no easy acceptance either #just make it so they CAN'T overlook or dismiss you and then do so well that it looks like you doing *them* a favor #this man can smile and look you in the eye and stick exactly to your terms and still cut you off at the knees #and that is insanely impressive and hot #maybe i am a leeettle biased after watching the bangtan bomb of them stuck practicing out in the hallway #Youtube
