How do strangers see Jungkook?
“Can you do a reading on how people perceive jungkook like you did with taemin and jimin?? I think he attracts a lot of people and I don’t think it’s only because he’s the ‘front guy’ or anything, I think it’s something deeper ahahah Thanks in advance!!💙”
For those of you who haven’t see Jimin’s and Taemin’s reading, this focuses on how strangers who have zero impressions of the individual perceive them upon first meeting.
I thought this was kind of funny because it’s something that I think anyone would expect, but it’s also TOO on the nose with who Kook actually is, or how he comes off when you think about him as being a bit more introverted.
The first card out was the 8 of Pentacles which I saw split into two different images. Both images came down to people seeing Kook as disconnected or distracted like they walk in the room and even if he’s up and ready to meet them, he still comes off as distant. Then a more literal image of it was that he’s literally doing other things all the time which keeps him separated but depending on what he’s doing sways the opinion of that person.
So, he could be busying himself with work stuff, not talking to anyone while focusing on recording his part of a song while working with a new artist, or he could be off to the side playing on his phone. One makes him look more dedicated to his work, he’s distant because he’s focusing, while the other makes him look distracted and purely disengaged.
Quite literally, this first impression is like THE first impression. I can just imagine another artist or an interviewer coming into their dressing room and kind of sizing everyone up and seeing Kook off to the side, not too quick to get up if he actually is focused on something, and then passing judgment on him immediately as “the one over there.”
The next three cards are kind of like the lasting opinion, something that I think would only be taken on by someone who actually watches him or pays attention to him long enough to notice these things. The first card in that set is Judgment, then The Hermit, which is then followed up by The Star in reverse. All of this is literally referring to that thing he does where he just completely spaces out and is just sitting there like O.O, not moving, not even blinking. Like someone new would have to actually watch him to notice that especially if they’re talking to the other guys.
With Judgement, it’s like they’re seeing him as being observational like they’re recognizing that he’s still focused on something just like with the 8 of Pentacles, but with The Hermit and Judgment together, it’s more about him focusing on something in his head. Like, they look at him being all O.O and think he’s like dissecting quantum physics in his head or something.
BUT!!
The Star in reverse is what made me laugh and then kind of, sort of annoyed, lol. So, people see him doing his spaced-out, dead-behind-the-eyes thing and they think he must be thinking up a storm, really going off in his own head, but then they think, “nah.” I don’t know how to explain this, but the way I was seeing it visually was like they look at him and think he’s meditating, like full-on astral projecting, but then they observe him more superficially and think he’s not smart enough to do that, therefore The Star, a symbol of higher awareness, or in this case, higher intelligence appears reversed.
I think this plays into the superficial stereotype kind of thing where Kook is like a DUDE, he’s very physical in terms of his work, he’s physically fit and he can be quite animated when he’s comfortable. When people are making snap judgments, they offset what they SEE. If they see a lot on the outside, they assume there’s nothing inside, and if they see nothing outside, they assume there must be a lot going on inside.
So, depending on what they see of Kook dictates whether or not they see The Star as being upright or reversed. If they see him FOCUSED on his work, they see his O.O as “meditation,” and if they see him DISTRACTED by games or whatever, they see his O.O as him… being dumb.
And yes, people are attracted to him and Taehyung for reasons that are deeper than anything superficial. I’ve talked about it in more than a few different readings that are scattered about the website, but in short, it has to do with their place in the soul body. Kook is in place of the Root Chakra and Taehyung is in place of Sacral Chakra. Kook is the final point o processing before transmissions are anchored into the lower plains where it can be received unconsciously and subconsciously by the audience. Both Taehyung and Kook are points of projection and quite literally attract (Taehyung) the audience in and then supply (Kook) the frequencies. On a conscious level this results in peoples’ eyes going straight to them or finding them more appealing, no necessarily purely in a physical manner, but just their personalities, their attitudes. The two of them are the “closest” to the audience and therefore it doesn’t surprise me that the two of them are often cited as the “most popular” in the group.
Also, find it interesting that AT ONE POINT IN TIME >.> Namjoon was considered the least popular and he just happens to be the one who is furthest away from the audience as he sits in place of the Crown chakra in the soul body. Essentially what Kook does for the audience is what Namjoon does for the soul body. He anchors high, high, HIGH-frequency transmissions that are processed through the body and then projected out through Kook.
