Livestream for mainland China is confirmed, please let the rest of the world be next

Jin is doing his usual live. Pijamas and games. lol

Just real quickly - Jin is live. And Hobi must be going home in the next couple of days, for sure. Lee Hyun is starting a new career as a DJ and Hobi is his first guest. I guess that DJs have guests in Korea. https://www.allkpop.com/article/2024/11/j-hope-joins-lee-hyuns-first-radio-broadcast-as-special-guest

Huge ambassadorship, especially coming on the heels of TELASA sponsorship of Echoes... our boy is doing so well. Now just hopefully waiting on news of a livestream...

The length of time that the official announcement implied he'd be out makes me wonder if it's a serious health issue. And the bit about him insisting he wanted to keep working... if it is a mental gealth issue, it's one he hasn't clued in on, himself. The whole official announcement was giving "we're telling him to take this time for his own good" so it's making me wonder what's up. About the Happy sales numbers: I've seen a bunch of ARMY complaining on Twitter that their orders were held up or cancelled by the suppliers due to unavailabilty of stock so there's a lot of exhortation to go buy in your nearest store instead of waiting for a shipment. That would definitely affect numbers

I'll put multiple versions of a song on a playlist but not buy them, even though they aren't very expensive. I know this has been a marketing thing fromm Hybe/BigHit for years but iit just seems greedy to me. And resolution on the whiny nj effort to get the legislature to intervene for them -

I also don't have multiple playlists and don't listen 24/7 to them and yes, I, no we, have still every right to call us Army. As you all know I like a lot of other groups as well and yes, there are days I don't even listen to a single bts song because I like another sound or songs on that day more. So, I absolutely agree. Restriction is never good and I'm also not going to do it for bts. Of course I try to watch a new mv multiple times through the day when it's release day, but I'm not buying multiple album versions or song versions. That's just not what I do and not something I want. And that's fine. Love their music, love the guys, support the way you can, this makes one Army. Congrats🥳💜🥳

Yes!!!! to your good reviews. I dont understand the "filtered" streams thing anyway, but do try to give all the members my listening support with new releases, even though I do prefer the music of a few of them more than others, for extended listening. I thought Running Wild did hit the top streamers on the first day or two and certainll thought it could stay up there in the US, especially because it's in English. Jin sounds so amazing live on Lee Mujin's Service (and that young man, who I had never heard of before, has a stunning voice, too). And good riddance to mhj. Now will nj follow through with their threats to Hybe about breaching their contract?

US has a massive solo fanbase for Jimin (and Jungkook and Taehyung). They're the ones who are making a difference in numbers unfortunately. They're not ARMY. It all goes back to solo stans being a lot more active than actual ARMY, and it's reached a point where the fanbase has a lot more casual listeners than active streamers nowadays. While I don't consider myself one of those casual fans, I am guilty of not having dozens of playlists for every release and streaming 24/7 as some other people are able to do it and that's okay because as much as I love the guys, I don't want to saturate myself. I have enough trouble reining in my periods of hyper-fixations because of my suspected ADHD and I try to pace myself. I buy only when I can. Sometimes even getting an album on iTunes has not been possible for me because I was short of money with £50 left until the end of the month and I bet a lot of other people have the same issue. Streaming is expensive, donations to pay for a streaming accounts barely make a dent in the numbers, physical releases, etc. It all accumulates. Depending on the month, sometimes people will be able to afford more than others. The festive season is coming around. I bet people are trying to save up every coin they can find for family dinners and presents. It's tough to be a pleb. 😂 Plus the streaming rules are still very confusing and I bet a lot of numbers are filtered because people are not doing it right. Make sure to take care of yourself if you are tired and take some time off. Don't let it get worse This was my first live that I could actually watch from the beginning the moment I saw the notification. I was so out of practice that I scrambled around trying to figure out how to read the translations on twt and watch at the same time lol On another note, I got my first 5* review on my Etsy shop

Do you mean this? Oh, the "mama" is abondoning her "kids" for a chance to get at least a bit of money (like 16-20mil) out of her stock options, what a surprise😱....not, lol. Finally! Sadly, it won't stop her evil planning, but at least she won't have access to the building anymore (now hybe needs to flush out possible hidden minions of hers) But she did what Hybe hoped for, leaving the company. Now, dear mhj😑, stop hiding and accept that the lawsuits against you won't go away. Belift will drag you to curt in 2025. And that is only the first one.... I love this challenge🤣. Hope to see a lot more idols doing it, it's so funny. She wasn't fired. She was dismissed as the ceo, but still a member of the board and offered a position as producer for new jeans, which she took. Hybe couldn't completely fire her, so thats the way they went and it worked, she left on her own. And her statement? I choose laughing over how ridiculous it is instead of getting angry. Sounds like you could use a vacation...... By the way, BigHit really should give TXT finally a longer vacation. The statement for Soobin being out and needing to take care of his health is the wording they normally use when it's about a mental health problem.....which is a bit scary, cause it means he is a great actor. In no live or behind videos was something off. With Beomgyu, there were signs befor his time out happened.....I just hope he rests well, doesn't feel guilty and get's the right kind of help.

US armies are focused on Jimin. RW didn't even chart on US Spotify. When Spotify has bugs, force close the app then open it again - you might need to do it more than once. Sometimes it's when my internet connection is weak and other times I'm guessing I've had it playing too long at least it's doing well in Japan. I hate to say this but really, the Japanese and Thai deserve all the special events more than NA or Korea And he sounds absolutely incredible. This is the best version of Running Wild yet

Good riddance to bad rubbish re MHJ. HYBE might want to take a page out of her shamanism book and recruit one to clear out the 16th floor (where ADOR is) of her miserable energy. I woke up to Hobi's live, only to discover that I had fallen asleep fully-clothed last night, with the light on, etc... . 2seok filming the Running Wild challenge is so heart-warming. Plus, that's likely the first, last, and only time Jin will ever get to boss Hobi around about dancing, so I hope he made the most of it! Jin was on Lee Mujin's Service. I highky recommend watching, especially the whole conversation about fishing and Super Tuna in the middle. As it turns out, Jin is about 200 times more chaotic than even we suspected.

How can she resign when she's already been fired? I'm still hoping she faces serious legal consequences for the breach of contract stuff. Hobi at what would have been 4 iin the morning in LA? I missed the live (5am here). And I don't understand the RW projections. It's only been out 5 days? The sales were huge - hoping it gets more streams, but Jin will be happy I'll be There is at over 80M streams. i do think Spotify doesn't count properly. And there are occurances of basically denying me the "play". For the song and for the album. I'll click "play" and it wiil start, for about a second, and then go to pause. Happens a lot. Or when II have the album loaded up, it won't lett me play RW and the only way to get the album is too start a second song down - which keeps RW out. Mysteries. Can't wait to watch the Hobi-Jin B bonb but have an insane morning, so it will be for later -

Lol. IG mistranslated Wotteo's Instagram to say Jin posed like a whore. I was hoping we'd get another iconic Jin plushy for Happy but I think Jin really loves Wotteo Currently, Running Wild is NOT projected to be on Hot 100 and the lead single had fewer streams than "I'll Be There" before the remixes, making Jin the only member to not make the Hot 100 off of his debut album. And "Happy" is projected to only sell 50k units, which is less than half of #1 and by far the lowest selling debut album of BTS members. It's been so obvious to anyone using fact driven logic that the fandom is becoming more and more splintered so I've been predicting that so called Army wouldn't give him the fan support for over a year now but they somehow managed to fall short of even my expectations. I think RW will probably claw it's way into the Hot 100 off the efforts of his solos now that the remixes are out. So apparently each version of RW from the remix albums are counted toward the main title track counter so you can have 80x streams count on your Spotify. Here's a play list so you don't have to start over

Our Hobi went live!!! He did a Jin/JK combo lol

lol

Good riddance ...
