They first started their acting careers in 2moons2 (2019) as Ming (Joong) and Kit (Nine). Their Instagram accounts are @ chen_rcj and @ naninenai

1. They both look really handsome and charming! Joong has distinctive sharp features whilst Nine has a charming face that'll attract anyone in the room.

2. They have an undeniable chemistry! These pictures below speak louder about their chemistry than anything you've ever seen!

3. Nine was Joong's first kiss (both in drama and real life! Joong never had a partner (bf/gf) before!)
ㅤ

4. Joong has slept together with Nine in many different places (nine's college dorm, nine's house, nine's father's house, motive village (their agency) office, hotels during events overseas, etc)

5. They had quite bad first impressions of each other but as time goes by they became really fond of each other's presence. (Proof in the vid below)

6. They do lots of IG lives! (super adorable!) Most of the times they were unplanned so we're always pampered with lovely surprises! They interact with their fans a lot (inviting to the live,etc)

7. They're super humble to their fans/shippers (always liking, retweeting, viewing stories, fanvideos, inviting fans to their lives, answering Q's, doing requests, etc when they have the time to!) (Here are some examples!)

8. Nine said Joong is the best thing that has happened to him ( ⚈̥̥̥̥̥́⌢⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀)

ㅤ

9. Nine fell first but Joong fell harder (well this one might differ from one fan to another but it's what I personally think hahaha)

10. Nine says a lot of honest things when Joong is not there but gets shy around Joong and becomes a tsundere (denying) when he's around
ㅤ
ㅤ

11. Nine's mother openly support the two of them and even considers Joong like her own son. She takes care of him very well which is so touching ಥ_ಥ

12. Whenever they sleep together, they sleep on the same bed. You'll know when you are a fan of them quite long but this video is enough to prove it ;)
ㅤ

13. They don't put fanservice first, they really value their quality time together and don't feel it's necessary to always tell everything to us (which shows they're genuine) (for example, when they sleep together/go out together they don't always brag about it to us)

14. They both have said numerous of times that they wanna go to Turkey together soon (probably end of 2020)

15. When Joong stayed in Nine's house he cooked him breakfast

ㅤ

17. Nine drove all the way back to Motive office just to take Joong's sketchbook that he left behind the night they slept together at Motive office. (Joong said this in a live if I'm not mistaken, but I couldn't find the video, sorry!)

21. If Joong ever star in another BL, he wants his partner to always be Nine bcs he knows if he acts with someone else it'll affect Nine. Since he started with Nine, he would love to always act with him in future BL projects too :)
ㅤ

22. Both Nine and Joong gets jealous when any of them are clingy to someone else (here's an example of Nine being jealous, hahaha)

23. They like to sing together (mostly during their IG lives and events, their voices are so nice and complement each other well)

24. They like to exercise together (•ө•)♡ (when covid wasn't happening yet they went to the gym tgt very often, but when it was quarantine period, they exercise together at Nine's mini exercise room at home/north fitness gym nearby Nine's house!)

25. Nine brought Joong to his father's house to sleepover even though it's very rare and special for someone to be taken to his father's house (not even his friends can do that) (plus they sleep in the same room omg :")

26. Other moons may get close to each other but it's apparent that they're just joking in brotherly manner, but when it's j9 it's always full of this odd yet tingling tension (｡・//ε//・｡)

27. Nine likes to take pictures of Joong (if you see on his Instagram, many of his posts were taken by Nine, thus the credits Joong gives to Nine on the caption/comment section!)

28. They know the password to each other's phones we love a couple who trusts each other (●♡∀♡)

29. When it was Joong's birthday this year, Nine recorded the surprise he did for Joong through Joong's phone, it was very intimate and sweet, nobody else was there in the car other than the two of them (╥﹏╥) (are you not crying bcs of joong's loving stares?)

30. They like to wear each other's clothes and accessories (because what they have belongs to each other and they love to share ) (here are some examples but there were more occurrences! very cute, right?)

31. When asked which scene is their favorite from 2moons2, Joong chose the first kiss scene where Ming got kicked by Kit afterwards, whilst Nine chose the scene where Ming confessed and asked Kit to be his boyfriend

32. They like to do skincare routine together before going to bed they're avid skincare lovers and they take care of their skin very well both of them collect skincare products too!

33. Nine likes to bite Joong (he says it's his hobby which is really cute lol) (funny thing is Joong never says no he just accepts the bite even though it hurts, love their comfiness with e/o!)ㅤ
ㅤ

34. Nine said, "When we went back from Chiangmai, I hurt my back from my seat, after I took a shower, blood ran down my bum, Joong saw it and ran fast to get the first aid box to clean it. This kid (Joong) is pretty cute."

35. The other moons (2moons2 casts) also help sail the j9 ship and are avid shippers of j9 themselves haha this was only one of many occasions

36. They like to post matching pictures with matching captions on Instagram and Twitter a lot! (here are some of my favs! sorry that all of the examples are from ig )

37. Joong is really attentive with small details and he remembers the smallest things about Nine, for example he remembered that Nine told him he started playing piano when he was 10 years old. This is simple but sweetㅤ
ㅤ

38. When Nine slept over at Motive office with Joong, they watched their own fanedit moment compilation videos together adorbs!
ㅤ

39. They're literally glued to each other. They can't be separated for too long, they'd start missing each other too much (this video is one recent example!)
ㅤ

40. During live MC said they have different personalities but when you combine them, they're really magical... and they look good together, they both good together. See the smiles they hold in?

41. Joong is already known by Nine's close family and they treat him like their own family. Here you can see Nine's grandma saying she'll cook any food Joong wishes to eat. Even grandma adores joong lots!

42. Joong sincerely cares for Nine's mom and considers her like his own mother, he really respects her and take care of her well. (even always brought gifts whenever he comes back from Turkey)

43. Joong's aunt has a fan page for Joong (+Nine) and she ships them too like we do here's a video when Nine drove Joong to his aunt's house to take some things and Joong's aunt called Nine beautiful

44. Nine notes Joong's schedules and even remembers them better than Joong himself. (such dedication to always know when you can be with him nai!)

45. Joongnine is so iconic because instead of parting ways during quarantine period, THEY SPENT IT TOGETHER. Yeah, right they did. They lived together for more than 3 months! (When Joong could've just stayed at his aunt's house instead )

46. During New Year's Eve, Joong invited Nine to his live on IG, even though Nine was legit having a bath but he still picked up and joined the live
ㅤ

47. They stay with each other too long that Joong forgot the way to his own house (his aunt's)

48. Joong likes to tease Nine and has a cute nickname for him which is "Chub/Fatty" in Thai cutest thing!

49. Nine likes to call Joong with P' even though he's younger just because he thinks younger people like to be called that way (usually in Thai you add P infront of someone's name that's older than you) ㅤ
ㅤ

50. Joong and Nine are both kpop fanboys, and they like to hype/sing the kpop songs they like together (which I think is very cute!) (Incase any of you all are curious, they've said that they like Blackpink, BTS, and EXO a lot!)

51. Their height difference is such a well-fitting adorable combination of the two Joong is ±185cm, whilst Nine is ±173cm. it's just the right height difference for a forehead kiss, resting on one's shoulder and a warm hug to the chest •́ ‿ ,•̀

52. Joongnine exudes power couple energy. They were featured as covers for KAZZ Magazine (issue 162&164) and even got in the best couple nomination for KAZZ Awards 2020 ( ；∀；) here are some pics that can attacc you (๑•﹏•)

53. Nine's type is someone who can balance, match, understand, and listen to him well. He doesn't think about the visuals, just as long as they like each other it's okay (which is totally Joong Archen Aydin!) [source was from a video but I lost it, if you have pls lmk!]

54. Joong's type is someone who's cute, older, can get along with him, understands him well and loves him truly (which is totally Nine Kornchid Boonsathitpakdee!) [source was from a video but I lost it, pls lmk if you've seen it too!]

55. Joong's mom posted a screenshot of when Joongnine did a video call on Mother's day with her + Joong's little sister (which further shows both families get along with e/o very well( ◜‿◝ )♡)

56. Joong, his little brother (Ahmed) with Nine and his older sister (Mila) once revealed playing PUBG together (family togetherness (◕દ◕))

57. When asked who's the most important person to Joong besides his family, he said P' Nine instantly and then Nine's family right after. (Peep Nine being shocked yet in denial at the same time, ah, classic Kornchid.)
ㅤ

58. They always update on eachother's whereabouts whenever they're apart (cute!) (just proves how much they care about each other, right?)

59. Joong easily gets sulky/jealous/upset whenever Nine doesn't give him enough attention. This reminds us again that joong really is still a "child" (or young adult?), remember he's a 2001 liner guys (･ัω･ั)
#J9

60. They have matching phone cases + I assume that they (might) have access to each other's socmed accounts (idk if they still use them now but here are the pics when they did! absolute cuteness, we love that couple flex am I right??who wants to give them more matching cases?)

61. They got "married" in Japan February 8 2020 for URAI x J9 Sweet Valentine event and met their "child" lookalike named Ice(fun fact he's the same age as joong lol!). Here's the hashtag for the event ! #URAIxJ9xSweetValentine

62. Joong's known symbol in the fandom is avocado whilst Nine's known symbol is strawberry both because they (supposedly) like those fruits a lot! Nine has said before that he prefers symbol more cuz means something not so nice in Thai, but sorry Nine.. it's too cute! ><

63. Nine's bedroom (in his own house) is already filled with Joong/Joongnine related stuff! (Makes me wanna go sleep in there too but it's aydin's privilege I could never)

64. Joong likes to teach Nine random Turkish phrases and whenever Joong speaks in Turkish, Nine likes to follow him but end up saying gibberish which is so cute sksks (peep joong teaching nine a type of Turkish flirting phrase)

65. Joong "had" to sleep at Nine's college dorm condo because his aunt was injured and couldn't take care of Joong for that time being (HONESTLY that seems legit but since it ain't the first time, these boys just wanna be tgt as much as they can )

66. Once teased about the couple being 9J instead of J9, Joong didn't mind and said "I'm fine, as long as he's (Nine) happy" (if you don't understand in couple ship names, the first name that gets mentioned is like the "dom" in the relationship)ㅤ
ㅤ

67. Joong promoted Nine's father's business (north fitness gym) during an interview even without Nine asking him to which caused him to feel flustered (it's very cute and supportive of Joong na kha)

68. Joong is possesive of Nine, he likes to cover Nine's chest/thighs whenever they're exposed. (This is just one of many similar moments that have happenedwe love a possesive boyfie)

69. When asked how much he loves Joong for AMA 2019 LIFE additional 39th question by @g9rfield, Nine said "Love or not, I don’t know. But in this life, I won’t leave Nong’ to feel sad/regret by himself. Going to sleep now bye" (yep he can't get any more tsundere than this)

70. Nine is Joong's English tutor and translator! As we all know Joong is an exceptional Trilingual but sometimes he is still not confident when speaking english. That's when Nine explains/translates for Joong when he's stuck especially during lives! So sweet

71. Whenever they do ig lives separately (when they're not in the same place) they always felt like video calls, like, they were in their own world and we're just air love the energy

72. They have this tradition between each other to hit one's mouth if the person speaks bad/curse words I think this is so unique and cute once it reaches 10 words per day, there's gonna be a punishment. Check next tweet!

73. One time Nine did it and got a "punishment", which was Joong doing his makeup. They did this "punishment" at Joong's aunt's house and did an ig live. U can watch here for the complete version it was really cute

74. In my opinion, the J9 anthem is "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" - Frankie Valli / the remake "ily - Surf Mesa"because both of them play this song lots, but some say it's ILY 3000 - Stephanie Poetri or even Lady Antebellum - Need You Now, either way all songs are sweet

75. Joong's friend who's taken (has a gf) told Joong he likes/is a fan of Nine, but Joong won't give his friend Nine's contact info (possesive much?) #ดราก้อนจุง #กองพลโวโด้ #J9isREAL #j9

76. During a TEP interview with 2moons2's casts they played a lie detector game. Nine was asked if he would "do" Joong, he said yes and the detector said IT'S TRUE. Whilst Joong was asked the same question, he said no but the detector said IT'S WRONG!
#J9

77. Joong loves and cares for Nine's dogs like his own he even calls the dogs as our dog/my dog on his insta caption the dogs love him too! they give joong kithes

78. One time they were sulking at each other for basically the whole day, but later at night both of them uploaded igs of them doing a movie night tgt (either just the two of them or w Nine's family) (joong uploaded popcorns and nine uploaded the situation while in living room)

79. When asked if he would date Nine if he were a girl during a live, Joong answered "If you were a girl, you would be very beautiful. But you're already beautiful, even if you're a boy." (big aaaw moment joong likes to call nani beautiful)

80. When asked to hug Joong during a live, Nine did it instantly (just a light hug) but then, here's the shocker. Joong suddenly lifted him up and threw him to the bed so casually like he does it all the time (oh my God, yep my mind went )

81. During some urai events, they played a game where they needed to kiss e/o with a small mirror in-between their lips and all of those "kisses" seemed really natural (definitely made me kilig )
#J9 #URAIxJ9xEVEANDBOY

82. During one of 2moons2 reaction videos, Joong drew little hearts behind Nine's back with his finger (shows much love~)

83. They like to capture their precious moments through polaroids (even though some of them weren't shown to us, who knows why~?) (especially that shirtless one oh my God what are you guys hiding from us )

84. Joong is a Pisces while Nine is a Cancer. Unfortunately I don't know their MBTI types (it would've been clearer) but through their zodiacs it's famously known Pisces suits well with a Cancer (peep them wearing couple outfits otw home, such boyfie vibes )

85. During the trip to Chiang Mai for "Travel With Us" shooting, J9 were so clingy, wore absolutely boyfriend-like couple outfits and held hands with e/o during Elephant bathing in the river bank. (check next tweet for the video but here are the pics during the trip)

86. When a fan asked if Joong could be their boyfriend, Joong hesitated to answer and Nine said "Respect me." (My god, the possesiveness got me shivers fr fr)
ㅤ

—oops I don't know why the video can't be posted for reason number 85, so go ahead and watch here : I'll just give you some screenshots of it hehe sorry guys!

87. Joong likes to get his hair done by Nine, not just once but more very cute! Even today's fanmeeting Joong's hair was styled by Nine! Thank you Nine

88. During their FM in Manila, they switched roles and it was still a shocker cuz NINE LOOKS HELLA GOOD as Ming sksksk shows how good their chemistry is whatever they do

89. Both joong & nine don't like ghostships but Joong especially dislikes it most, he said "If you love J9, then you wouldn't ghostship. But if ur gonna ghost, Joong is right here, so bring it!" & many more on other occasions,, yall better ship j9 only
ㅤ

90. This is so recent it literally happened just now but Joong said if he were to choose an object he can't live without, he wouldn't say P'Nine, cuz Nine is not an object but a person, AAWWH

91. Once nine hurted his back in the van. Bumped to the seat until bleeding.. but he didn't feel anything at that time. at dorm, Joong saw Nai's back bleeding and dripped to his bum. He ran so fast to get first aid and took care of Nai. @chenfongthing

92. When asked if his heart is still available (for Nine) Joong answered, "It’s up to him whether he will take it or not."

93. During a live Joong told Nine, "I had no idea to set my (MacBook) password, so I set it like yours because it's easy to remember." Nine prolly smiled bcs Joong is such a baby

94. During an interview, Nine said "When I'm with him, I can be myself." They also said in a live that they're so comfy with e/o they don't mind farting/burping when they're around e/o
ㅤ

95. When asked if there's gonna be an ending for joongnine, Nine answered "There is no ending between us." (DAMN RIGHT!!!!)
ㅤ

96. One time during a live, Nine's knee got knocked by the chair because of Joong, he was so worried & carefully caressed Nine's knee to check if he's okay the softest thing awh (ss from @JoongNineTrash )

97. Nine's love for Joong is so genuine, he never asks anything in return. Look at this video.. Nine said,
"If he's going, I will not hold him. What he loves and what makes him happy is fine."
ㅤ

98. They prioritize communication and always clear up any misunderstanding before sleeping, they often sleep talk and Joong accidentally let his legs go over Nine during sleeping (lmao but was it rlly just once tho ) Joong doesn't like his hair to be touched but look at this

99.During the 1st 2moons2 fanmeeting, Nine said to Joong whilst tearing up, "I don't say this often to you, but I want to say, thank you for putting up with me everyday. Whether you got scolded, got complaints about your messiness, about everything... -c-

Thank you that you're still here and bear with me. Thank you for not leaving me alone. Even when I muted you out during work, and you're still here. You go home and still give me support like you always do. Thank you that we got to meet." Then they hugged tight. My fav moment

100. LAST BUT NOT LEAST!! During a live, Joongnine finally announced their fandom name, which is.. J9! hahaha it's really simple and basically them but holds a sweet meaning. Thank you for naming us J9, J9 we love u both sooo much

thank you for following this thread til the end. obviously there are lots more reasons for you to stan j9, but hopefully for now 100 reasons are enough I'll surely create more threads about them! One more thing, I created @joongninefess as our space, check it out!
