Hello everyone! 

I'm so stoked by all the comments and opinions shared from watching the DCUT... makes me so curious about what you have watched (cos I didn't buy it...) but every post from you DCUT-owners only confirms my gut feels about our JiJi couple. And this place only proves that I am not the only one with such gut feels. *Yippee*

What's KHN and JCW auditioning for though? (Sorry if I missed it from previous posts.) 

[[OFFICIAL] Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun Couple (JiBong/JiJi Couple)]

Happy New Year, everyone!

Just dropping in to say, "Thank you!" for keeping this thread A.L.I.V.E.!!!!!! 

I still have not been able to get through any other romcom after SP (is there something wrong with me?) and it has been sooooo long already. I hope 2018 will fly by super duper fast so that we'll get to see JCW hogging the limelight with his shining eyes once more! So thankful for the photos and vids posted here!

I am so surprised to see so many K-ent couples going public with their relationship this year, and today is only the 9th day of 2018. Maybe with recent events, more and more are choosing to embrace their emotions, be true to themselves, instead of suppressing them for the sake of image and fans. I hope 2018 will be a year of joy and satisfaction for everyone; work hard, play hard, and keep body, mind and soul healthy.

 

PS: A part of me wishes our JiJi would go public too but the other part of me hopes they will keep it under wraps until the wedding bells peal. #greedygirl

hee..  I think the article that @daloula shared can explain what @hazel30 want to say..  (≧∇≦)

Love sign #1: Shoulder rolls or shrugs

Unlike some other large muscles, the upper trapezius has special "gut reactive" visceral nerves that are sensitive to your emotions. 

Love sign #7: Rapid eye blinking 

We neee more investigation on this one..  Ahahahaha

Love sign #9: A higher-pitched and softer voice than usual

The voice takes on a slightly higher, warmer tone -- not loud, no edge to it. This same love-infused relationship is the model for the tone that people in love use. It's a softer pitch than usual. "It's innately friendly," Given says, "and suggests a nonaggressive, nonhostile pose."

hee..  Can we use this vid as the no #9 sign?  (≧∇≦)

 

@ysrida_ regarding Love sign #7 Rapid Eye Blinking, does NJH's rapid eye blinking when Wookie started to kiss her softly in that BTS with no background music count? 

That BTS: Her eyelids fluttered, and my heart also started fluttering...

Holy Molly, all of these pictures of our Jihyun are really beautiful, but the second pict is my favorite... i mean... dammit her legs are seriously beautiful, i find her really sexy and seductive in that picture and yes, i'm a woman... 

 

Ditto! She's really hot in that photo. I would love to hear what the photographer says about working with Hyunni for that.

Haha, maybe Wookie shouldn't look at them, or he may start to get a bit nervous that the beauty and unaffected sexiness of his blooming rose will soon capture the attention and imagination of the other hot-blooded males in the world.

@waveoflove Thank you for your compliment! I was inspired by your post.

Remember that 2Bic song - Love Game - that Wookie sang recently. He is friends with 2Bic and he sang it on a show with them.

Well i love the words in that song. Anyways, that song was released way back in 2012. Yes that long ago. Doesn't the fact that he chose an old song with the following lyrics  "I thought you looked normal but why do you look so pretty now? I only saw you as a younger sister but now you look like a girl" (different platforms translate that line differently but you get the jist of it) to sing right after SP seem suspicious.

Why couldn't he sing one of their songs released more recently. Why pick that particular song? Go figure.

Edit: Heres the link. He didnt sing this song in 2014 or 2015 after Healer, or 2016 after K2, he sang this in 2017 AFTER SP. JUST STATING FACT.

*video removed*

 

@waveoflove  thank you for sharing your observation. Wow, the translated lyrics are a revelation! I remember reading somewhere (no clear memory) that Wookie is a man of intention and from his interviews so far, I think it's clear that he's no flippant person.

Surely, if I were him, having met the love of my life but having to leave her so soon and for so long because of national duty, I will be fairly desperate to stake my claim on her, declare my sincerity to her, display my wish for her to wait for me etc. and YET, being a industry veteran, have to consider the consequences of every move I make and every word I say.

So, I will find other means to declare my love  e.g. choosing the songs I sing with certain intentions, choosing edits from SP to show at my fan concert with certain intentions etc etc. My girl will know the message I'm sending her. As for my fans, well, I hope the ones who really care for my well-being (like the Namjisquad on Soompi) will squeal and be pleased when they discover my certain intentions, and I hope the haters will never discover my certain intentions because I am trying to show them some respect by not laying all my cards on the table and also because I don't want them harassing my girl.

All of these I need to do to give my girl a sense of security while I complete my national duty, so that after May 2019, I can carry out my certain intentions to properly court her and convince her that my feelings for her are so so real.

I think I'm missing out on some juicy discussion here. Looks like there's an ongoing analysis of what happened in the enlistment video... (Oh boy, I'm millions of pages behind! LOL.) 

But before I backtrack and try my very best to catch up (!!!) I just want to shout out to @genxv for your amazing fanfic! I've read it from start to end over 2 days and you really did a good job! Thank you for your time and effort, and helping to put all the wonderful thoughts and hopes we have for Jiji into such beautiful words! The chapters were short but succinct, and yet, respectful towards the names involved. Thank you thank you thank you! Will you be writing more? Please tag me if you have new stuff! 

See you all later!

what if jcw started dating (someone else, not namji) only after sp ended? not while filming the drama. genuine question!  That 'love game' song he sang at sketchbook is really something else.

 

Hi @muxic88, yeah, valid question. But honestly, he'd spent 4 months in constant intimate contact with the staff and cast on SP, and given the time he had on his hands after the drama ended, there is a chance that he could have fallen for another person but it is still a very very slim chance. He will need to be swept off his feet, like *bam!* literally, by this other person, after having so much vested time and emotions and skinship with NJH for 4 months. It's still possible, but personally, I really doubt it.

He doesn't look like an easily-fall-in-love person, especially 10 years in this industry, he would have learnt by now how to guard his heart. Otherwise, we would have read his scandals left, right, centre, through the years by now. 

[[OFFICIAL] Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun Couple (JiBong/JiJi Couple)]

Chingus and fellow shippers, don't despair over what Dispatch put out. Be strong! They could be red herrings for all we know. With all the hype built up after the drama, perhaps the management agencies of both JCW and NJH came together to devise a way to distract attention away from both of them and/or to douse the flames of their obvious passion for each other, so as to protect them for the next 2 years.

Honestly, if you look at Soompi's home page, Y***a (her name, and her pic) has been hogging it for many weeks already. I believe it is in line with her idol group having a comeback, as well as her new drama airing. I see it as a marketing blitz, just like when SWDBS was on air, there were all sorts of articles and quizzes and pictorials that included the main cast of the drama. 

Dispatch may have outed many celebrity pairings in the past but it doesn't mean that that's all they do. And in this case, it could very well just be a photo spread. Don't worry, be happy! And most importantly, remember why we're here in this community in the first place. Also, we've seen so much telltale signs from our ship's very own captain and co-captain over the past few weeks.

About watching another drama, I'm currently watching one but it has zero romance and even though it's still airing and almost ending I feel nothing about it. For romance, I think we're probably a lost cause. I was watching another drama that was airing at the same time as SP and the first kiss of the lead couple made me throw my phone and stop watching the drama. I just couldn't take the romance in the drama seriously anymore.

 

Good evening everyone!

Unlurking for a moment to say, @daloula I know right! I just couldn't muster up any desire to watch another romcom after SP. 

Actually, I didn't start out wanting to watch SP in the first place. It was because I was left high and dry after SWDBS (both reel and real) and decided to give SP a shot only after wandering in drama-desert for many weeks. After SWDBS, I was feeling like you, that probably no other on screen couple will be able to give me the feels like PHSXPBY, but wow, did our JiJi couple blow my mind away!  At first I thought it was just a good script and great acting from veterans.... until I went in search of the BTS. That was the point of no return.

Seriously N.O.  R.E.T.U.R.N. 

Thank God for all these post drama activities to stem our bleeding hearts after SP ended. Thank God that the drama has brought 2 fated persons together. Thank God for this community of sisters and brothers who recognize what our JiJi has between them, so that the next 21 months won't be too hard to bear... It's all in God's will whether they will truly wind up with each other together forever but I don't think I'll ever be able to stop shipping them. 

So now, I'm back to square one: drama-desert.

YW's voice is super soothing and the songs are up my aisle as well.  Have bookmarked the live stream page on my browser already.

[[OFFICIAL] Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun Couple (JiBong/JiJi Couple)]

Regarding the screened question that JCW's fans posed, 

1. The production team could have filmed it while the fans were waiting outside venue for concert to start. Then slotted it into this segment last minute for JCW to answer. JCW may have anticipated there would be this segment but not aware of exact question.

2. The production team could have filmed it at one of the live events or even ticket sales day and ran it through JCW to include in concert. 

I am inclined towards No. 2 because JCW would be able to kill many birds with this one stone since the question was "initiated" by his fans and he could use the opportunity to test water/reveal he has a lady love/inform his fans/stake claim on lady love/prepare his fans for any future "development" in his private life,  and not have to drop this topic cold on the concert audience.

I think most of the idols in SK prefer to inform their fans personally than have Dispatch splash photos of their secret dates all over social media without warning. 

So, from this perspective, if it was all planned, it only goes to show how intentional a man JCW is, his sincerity and respect to all parties, and lastly, everyone on his production team are on this with him too. 

No wonder he mentioned having to think about many many things prior to enlistment.  Other than giving most of the thoughts to NJH, preparing everyone's heart for this big step forward must have occupied his mind running up to the concert. 

This is just my personal perspective and theory. I really respect him for respecting his fans like this.

Good afternoon, fellow chingus and shippers! Daebak! Jinja jinja daebak, this thread! Kudos to the international shippers here who are literally taking shifts to spazz and fill this with goodies. 

I give up trying to backread. I went to bed with 20 more to go and woke up with additional 20 pages  I think I'l just have to keep current. Hope I haven't missed too much after the Section TV bomb.

 

I skimmed through JH's ig account last night and tbh I'm really saddened by those so-called "fans" who were waging war against one another on her account. Hello? That's detestable behaviour and really reflects very badly not just on yourselves, but also on the idols you supposedly love and support. To these misguided folks: please mind your manners, watch your etiquette on social media, and make positive and edifying contributions. Don't succumb to the provocations of the ignorant and troublemakers. Keep cool and choose to give the right type of support that your idol will really appreciate. Lastly, please consider showing one another respect, agreeing to disagree on differing viewpoints, and make the celebrity's account a happy place for him/her to visit, at the very least. 

Sigh. Sorry, I really had to get that off my chest. For the other JCW/xxx (other actresses, that is) shippers lurking in this thread prowling around to find fodder to feed your own ship, please respect yourselves and show yourselves out. This is a safe haven for JCWxNJH shipping only. Stay in your own space if you don't wish to join us. 

On another note, I believe JH and JCW are mature and level headed enough to not get affected by the monkey business troublemakers get up to on their social media accounts. Please go and make out and enjoy yourselves in Jeju! 

Looking forward to JH's radio show today with her onscreen frenemy (her character's dry humour and delulu mind about Eunhyuk really grew on me throughout the drama; I am curious how the actress is like in real life and on air, lol). I think I'm going to wake up tomorrow to landmines and air strikes... Oh man, I'd better put on my safety helmet before I come back in to spazz. 

Have a lovely day at work and in this safe haven, shipper chingus! All of you are daebak! 

[[OFFICIAL] Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun Couple (JiBong/JiJi Couple)]

I was just gone for a day and so many lovely bombs were dropped! I've only covered 20 pages and and I have 20 more to go... but I have to go to bed now, and I can't imagine how many more pages will stack up by the time I open my eyes and check in here again. I think my nightmare will be never being able to ketchup!  I feel sadistic saying this but keep them coming, chingus! 

 

@attriste Hi and welcome back to spazz again after your travels! Yes, I like parkpark couple too but I don't ship them as hard as our JiJi couple here. I mean, I've never shipped anyone before, not even SongSong... so this addictive need to ketchup with their news and this thread is really unfamiliar and strange to me. 

I need to check out Section TV's interview tomorrow!!!!!! *removes toothpicks from eyelids and prepares to go to bed* Goodnight, Chingus!

[[OFFICIAL] Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun Couple (JiBong/JiJi Couple)]

Wow, wish I was there at the concert too. His voice is just so... wow... And of course the "yeppo" and the BTS kiss scene during 101 Reasons. I screamed myself hoarse in my heart!Hehe, couldn't risk having my husband and son think the internet is a scary place to hang out on a Saturday night, could I?

My delulu mind thinks that maybe JH is waiting for him backstage during the 2nd concert so that both of them can make their escape to Jeju over the weekend after it ends, and JCW's mum and friends will then join them later for a "getaway with family and close friends". 

Didn't a chingu post an analysis about Cancer and Virgo? Look how expressive and bold our Cancer boy has become after awakening the passion of our Virgo gal! Both of you are just so good for each other!

HAHAHA. These TWO! Wait. A. Second. Are they actually doing some mind conditioning and positive reinforcement to us? US???? Shippers and non-shippers? OMO.

Hints! Hints everywhere and on their mag and tv interviews, they're always asked about the other, like always, BUT they were NEVER directly asked if they're each other's ideal type - like with the leads of Ruler. It's like they're hiding a secret in plain sight just so no one suspects you. Or they are re-enforcing the fact that NJH will visit JCW in the army after the basic training so when that happens, it'll be like, "yeah, no biggie, we've known that all along.." SMART MOVE babies. I am proud. HAHAHA.

 

NJH is a Psychology major after all... ya know what I mean? Hahahaha.

OMO OMO OMO!!!! *Smiles like a mad woman*

This reminds me of the other OTP I ship (PHS X PBY) and PHS's suddenly very specific description of his ideal type in an interview after the drama ended!  

We definitely know who JCW's ideal type is! And he has actually spelt it out on TV? 

I mean, surely this is much more specific than before. And surely, if he hasn't met his ideal type already, how would he have been able to describe it like this? 

//He shared: “I want to date someone who I can totally click with. I want somebody who can allow me to be innocent like a child. I know I might sound a little bit picky, but someone like a muse who can inspire me is my ideal type.//

Did someone already posted this ? Coincidence much ? hmmm.. interesting

 

Rationally speaking (we've been praised as "Rational Shippers" after all ) , the photo on the left was taken from a BTS of NJH's previous drama with SIG, whereas the photo on the right was JCW's recent Fossil CF shot. 

Timeline is a bit far off, but who's to say that the stylist did not flipped through NJH's archives and decided to give us shippers sweets and treats by dressing JCW similarly? Hehe. Or perhaps the Fossil shoot stylist is also a shipper! Or even better, the Fossil shoot stylist is the same stylist who styled Bok Shil (NJH's character's name in SKL). 

LOL.

 

number of times "stylist" appeared in this post: 4

number of times "NJH" appeared in this post: 3

number of times "JCW" appeared in this post: 2

number of times "Bok Shil" and SIG appeared in this post: 1 each 

 

Conclusion: the stylist unnie/oppa is a crucial link to us shippers. We ought to start sending her/him food trucks.

but isn't it a bit weird if this was an adlib? because it seemed like the cameraman(s) were ready to take that shot, thus the close up shot of the kiss. if it was an adlib then they wouldn't have known to take a closer shot (and a wide shot) of the scene. so this scene (kiss) could have been scripted and that they meant to give out that feeling. 

as for the emotion in their eyes, that i have no idea. they did look really sad there so maybe during the scene their real feelings really came out. 

but then again, i have no background whatsoever in that field so i don't know how it works... 

@gracebkk yeah, you're probably right. I'll go watch it again and see if I feel different about it second time round. But then again, I may have to brace myself to experience another round of heartache cos it's the last episode.

JCW is going to enlist soon to the military and according to his own words, he won't be dating when he's about to enlist because it would be unfair to the other party. I actually agree with him on this. You don't get to know someone for 4 months and then decide to tie down the girl one month before leaving for almost two years. There were celebrity couples who did that and then they ended up breaking up. Sometimes even long time couples don't survive that separation.

Plus I think they need time to move on from their characters to figure out what the really feel. There was an ex drama couple who only after the end of the drama and both working in different cities figured out that what they felt for each other was real and not their characters' feelings.

 

 

There is that possibility, and if true, it only shows the maturity of JCW, and all the more NJH should wait for him, if I were her. He obviously cares so much about the girl to want to selfishly tie her down while being physically and emotionally absent during enlistment. Even long time relationships break down when there is such a long separation. And he knows it but yet he's probably hurting inside having to make this painful but perhaps correct decision.

If true, then the whole bittersweetness of Episode 40's proposal scene will also make perfect sense. They could have communicated just before filming that scene and hence, reel vs real got blurred during filming. JCW probably couldn't recover in time. If NJH was adlibbing her lines, JCW's dazed look after she pecked him on the lips would also then make perfect sense. 

Tbh, I have been bothered by the dazed look he gave her after she pecked him on the lips in that scene. But it has been analysed before in this thread. 

Anyhow, this internal conflict is fodder for a fanfic. Anyone?
