Jikook and Chusoek and the Guardian of the Moon
(or, the legend of Daltokki)
On the day of this important holiday, I'd just like to remind everyone that the Chusoek moon - the fullest, brightest moon of the year - appears in public park installations, shop displays, on greeting cards, and in photo zones all across Korea at this time of year. It's everywhere.
^The Chusoek moon, as seen from Busan.
That same moon also appears on Jungkook’s shoulder, highly stylised to emphasize the legendary Moon Rabbit (Daltokki, 달토끼) who lives on the moon making rice cakes.
Why choose this?
We know that every piece of Jungkook's tattoo is meaningful to him, the imagery choices he's made are not random. The Daltokki moon takes up a lot of real estate on his inked arm, so I looked into the significance of this particular story.
So what IS the story of Daltokki, the Moon Rabbit?
The legend of the Moon Rabbit is significant in many East Asian cultures and there are several variations of it.
In the Korean version of this story, the rabbit offered himself up to feed a starving old man, who was in fact a king of the gods, disguised as a beggar. The old man was so touched by the rabbit's sacrifice that he revealed his true identity and sent the rabbit to be the guardian of the moon. Now the rabbit lives on the moon, tirelessly pounding ricecakes under a cinnamon tree.
There's probably some significance to the Chuseok hiloliday itself, since it falls close to his birthday. In fact it falls neatly between both Jimin and Jungkook’s birthdays. But i believe there is something else, something much bigger happening here...
Who in BTS is associated with rabbits?
Who in BTS is associated with the moon?
So just to recap:
Jungkook has a rather large tattoo of the moon that is designed to show the rabbit Daltokki.
The rabbit who is the guardian of the moon.
I see, I see...
🤔
So, this rabbit and this moon maybe?
This determined and steadfast rabbit who celebrates, and cares for, and protects his beautiful, shining moon?
Let's take another look at the tattoo:
It's significantly large, situated on his shoulder like the sleeve patch you might wear if you were in the armed forces or the police department or some other organisation that has an insignia for identification.
The moon is surrouded by a decorative flower border, the kind so frequently seen in Korean imagery, creating a sort of ... emblem.
Like a badge of office, or perhaps a badge of honour?
So it looks like Jungkook has inscribed on himself, an insignia that identifies him as the guardian of Park Jimin.
Another tattoo, like the JM on his finger, that makes an irrevocable statement to love, honour and cherish... because isn't that what a guardian does?
What else can I say, but
Happy Chusoek, Jikook lovers!
💛💜
Happy Chuseok!
This post is everything
hi again~ 😆
Happy Chuseok to my Korean friends! Chuseok, also known as Korean Thanksgiving Day, is one of the most important and festive holidays of the year. This year, Chuseok falls on Thursday, September 19th, but the holiday period actually lasts for three days in total – including the day before and after Chuseok.
After almost dying from septic shock, I have a lot of things to be thankful for.
💜💜💜
