The final tally was 14 to 6 with the YES votes being the winner. You have spoken in support of this crazy insane ending.
But there is information that I didn't give you because I wanted you to vote with your gut without me influencing you too much. So here is some info that should help the people who voted NO feel better.
1) There is no fundamental harm that will happen to Jikook (other than a little emotional stuff)
2) I never said it wasn't a happy ending. I said it was a SHOCKING ending that even shocked me when I wrote it. I couldn't even sleep because I just kept saying to myself "Did you really just write that?"
3) I loooooove Jikook - apply that information accordingly 😉
I know you guys get tired of me droning on about how much I love you, but I truly love you. I wish I could arrange a play date where we could all meet and just love on each other and Jikook and paint our fingernails and drink Maria's recipe for hot wine. I am thinking about hosting an ARE YOU SURE party and renting out a movie theater for you guys here in the states. I'm still thinking about that one.
Ok, now that the ending has been settled, I have to get to work. I'll be back soon. I love you now say it back..........
I decided to do another Polished man post because I really 1) Want to promote this organization but 2) I want to share the research that i believe proves JK was not representing Polished man with his fingernails. Even though I am all for it and I love it, I don't think that is what he was doing.
So yesterday as soon as I got home from work I started researing this organization. I work with some domestic violence charities so I wanted to learn more about this one since i had not heard of it before. And guess what??? There is way more to this than the solos and antis would lead you to believe. I originally ran with this idea because of all of the blow back from the Puffy not guilty verdict. I thought he was just throwing his support in for victims. But as you guys know i loooooooooove research, so I dug in.
But First....learn more about this organization here at the link below:

Here are some of the reasons that I don't think JK was doing a polished man campaign.
1) He isn't doing it right - the campaign specifically asks men to only paint ONE nail so that it can stand out and spark conversation (not some black, one blue)
2) If he is part of the campaign he is supposed to be very vocal about it. The intent is to speak out about the violence, not to quietly paint a nail and move on with no explanation. IF he was formally a part of the campaign, they would have announced it because that is a BIG BIG BIG catch and it would have brough in millions of dollars in donations to their cause. I checked and JK is nowhere listed as an amabassador on their website. In fact the 2025 campaign hasn't even kicked off yet https://polishedman.com
3) Polished Man fundraising and awareness happens ONLY in October. I think in 2024 they tried to make it year round but it didn't really get attention until October which is the usual fundraising kick off. If JK is a part of this - he's a little early isn't he?
I love the idea of our men fighting for causes. But in this case, I think this narrative was pushed forward by solos and antis who don't want to admit one simple fact, JK was trying to match Jimin. There was noting else. There was no greater purpose. He wore blue on his ring finger that has the J M on it.
I would get my ass kicked if I ever said this on twitter, but this is just my belief. Follow my logic - It is very dangerous for an Idol of JKs caliber to get too involved with social causes publicly (privately is a different matter) Even innocent ones that truly are valuable to our society can be misused/misunderstood/corrupted and that could easily cause controversy and blow back on him. BUt the bigger issue is that once you support one cause, the fandom will then expect you to support ALL OF THEM. And then the narrative will become "he supported the fight against domestic abuse but didnt' support the fight against xyz - cancel him". It can put him in a difficult spot.
Even Yoongi got blow back because they accused him of only supporting the autism center to cover the hype around that none event on the scooter last year.
I want him to support anything he feels passionate about and as I posted on my last post, I fully support him 100% and I would LOVE for him to be an abbassador for this charity. But I am also a truth teller. And as wonderful as that sounds, I don't think that is what he was doing here with the blue nail. I am happy to be wrong, but I prefer to be accurate and fact based. The facts here just don't add up to him being a part of this campaign. And that leaves just one thing - he was purposely matching Jimin. Period.
For the record, I don't think Jin was doing polished man either. But I could be wrong. You just don't take a stand like this and then say absolutely nothing about it to promote donations. It makes no sense and the campaign would reach out to them because this is the biggest group in the WORLD! Let me know if you see any place where Jin has promoted this or talked about this.
Happy to hear your thoughts.
I see people fighting over hand holding. Can I give my neutral opinion? Holding hands is not necessarily romantic. There’s no need to over react to it. This is baseline for them and something they do all of the time. It is validation of their bond and friendship and comfort level with each other. That quick squeeze meant everything to them, almost like a reset, a deep breath and a wooo I missed you, glad you’re back. It was a sweet brief moment that really happened.
But besties I'll tell you what IS REALLY ROMANTIC is the level of planning and coordination that was required to match each other in the inverse. I believe JK was supporting the fight against domestic violence. I also believe that JM was supporting him and NONE of this was a coincidence. Both things can be true at the same time. It was coordinated and they likely needed to see each other more than once to pull it off. bc besties — have you ever tried to match periwinkle? It takes a village bc that color is shifty af. This took effort and they wanted to make sure that we saw it and talked about it and brought awareness to the cause and to them. Jikook we see you and we hear you and we appreciate you and we love you. Be you, we’ve got your back.
But I have to work! Besties please please help me. Send me everything 😭I'll be in meetings all day!!!!
