Completely agree. How can HYBE implement this globally? It's kind of like knowing Japan has a lottery system for skating event. We all just know. The Face ID would revolutionize ticket sales in the states. There will/would be grumbling about "personal info" blah blah blah but we give them all our info anyway. I need to do the Face ID thing with Interpark/Nol, now that I am going to rejoin the,-after a year of communication that never changed my "official" email which is not my email. I thnk I just wanted to make sure my hair was brushed. Taylor has the influenece here. And Bad Bunny and some country singers. If they pushed for the Face ID, we could do it.

The best way is the Korean way. Face ID at the venue. If the registration doesn't match to your face ID, then you're out. It's limiting, yes, because they allow only one ticket per person but this eliminates the reseller completely, and fans can still resell their own tickets at face value if needed to another person and they will go through the same face ID checks. And a raffle would still allow scalpers to take part unless there is another identity check being done afterwards. I don't know how Japans works.

I forget how Taylor managed to undermine TM for her tour sales. BTS has power, and HYBE has the power. Of course it's too late for this tour, but they could dictate to Ticketmaster or live nation or whoever is selling tickets to their shows that they do not allow resale or pricing more than the original for at least two days or three days after they go on the market. It would be really interesting to see how many tickets are being scooped up by scalpers. I just wish they could do something. I don't know what they can do though, but we know we all have tickets and that's wonderful, but there is something so underhanded about the way Ticketmaster handled this. Again. They are so corrupt I'll complain and I will bitch to hive, but I don't know what difference it'll make. They need to come up with a different model for it if it has to be a lottery for ARMY members then that would at least be more fair. But if they just held off on the inability to resell tickets at anything other than the original cost for a number of days, that would make it more fair for ARMY to get tickets from people who bought 10, even if that was by accident.

This is totally true!

Beomgyu going off like this is so funny😂. And Yechan did it again, covering Jimin's choreo, so so beautiful🥰 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DT46ncDE8cI/?igsh=MWE5Zmo0YjB3Nnpibg== Oh and, if anyone sees a information when re-sell starts, please let me know😉

I do have an angel and she lives in Ottawa. I'm cool using my phone and already have it loaded (and also not a Windows person though I see it's available for MAC). My phone is mstly frustrating, as its an I12 so small. I like that it's small because it fits easily in my back pocket but script is SMALL and hard to read (other than emails, etc). I call it my teeny tiny computer. When I come across a page that I feel I need to read, say on Weverse, I do a screenshot and then blow it up. At first, I thought you wrote $140M in won which wouldn't be a big deal but this is huge. And it's not what they/he made - it's the amount they owe. Massive.

If you prefer to use your laptop/PC, there is a version for it as well. I Assume you have Windows? https://signal.org/download/windows/ No pressure though, we can stay here for you I hope you get your angel too and manage to get a ticket. Have you all seen the news about Eun-woo and his alleged tax evasion investigation? U$D140 mill is crazy.... and apparently his entire family is in it.

WOW!!!!! I am so happy you got a ticket! What would we do without our friends? Yes - I am a tech neophyte. I should start using the signal app. It would involve picking my phone up, however. I'm so bad. I do have it on there. Pain still dominates (though disappointment not far behind with sadness for my dear friend in NS also heavy). Resale sites don't open until 3 and 5 and I'll look, but even though El Paso and LA are closer, I'd be alone. THe only way I'd go for either is if "my" seat is available and I'm not feeling super positive there. And no one wants to cone to the states (reasonable) so both El Paso and BOston would be lonely ventures,. And article that is good nes. - https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/southkorea/law-crime/20260124/bts-v-and-jungkook-win-damages-as-youtube-channel-ordered-to-pay-millions-of-won

I'm here. We have just been more active on the Signal chat that we created in the past few days but we're staying here because we know it's easier for you to handle the Planet than phone apps. You don't really need to feel for me. I did resign myself to not being able to go because of everything, and I had (kind of) come to terms with it but there was an angel who gifted me a London ticket this morning so I've been on cloud nine all day.

#103087 in the queue here. That'll just be my new ARMY name. Fortunately, @rockstaryuzu has lots of Toronto friends and Canadians got actual seats (iwas nearly 90000 for the Toronto show- I swear, TM hates me). And it would be more fun to be with firends,. Amy posted on Instagram that she has tickets but didn't say where. She has crazy luck with tickets anyway. In addition to Toronto, I am looking today at El Paso - good seats, reasonable resale prices - and also Boston. I have a dearest friend in end of life care in NOva Scotia after another stroke so feeling very low and sad today. And feel for Andrea. Do we even know where she is ? @Whoopiewoop, where are you?

We are done.

lol he is so cute

Exactly@Perelandra But I couldn't find out if GUCCI is there? https://www.sortiraparis.com/loisirs/shopping-mode/articles/305892-paris-fashion-week-automne-hiver-2026-2027-les-defiles-de-mode-homme-a-suivre-en-livestream and it's more than clear that Yuzu would be perfect

Machine translated: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Toru Yaguchi: "Shooting in the soft natural light just before sunset has always been one of my long-held dreams. With the straight road ahead, I told him, 'Walk forward here, and turn back toward the camera.' The expression Hanyu showed during the magic hour felt more open and liberated than ever before." 🌇🪽

It just so happens that Men's Fashion week is currently being hosted in Paris. Fanyus have mentioned on many occasions, Yuzu would be a beautiful model should he be invited to make a special guest appearance for the Gucci runway.

A fan post on the 21st sparks discussion. The donations made by professional figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu (31), who won two consecutive Olympic gold medals in men's figure skating, are attracting a lot of attention, especially from his fans. 　Bell Sanpia Miyagi Izumi, a skating rink in his hometown of Miyagi, announced that Hanyu had donated 54,205,800 yen. On the 21st, a fan posted on social media a sign that read, "Donation from Yuzuru Hanyu," and many fans shared the post. 　Hanyu has previously contributed to his local community in many ways, including donating a total of over 100 million yen to Ice Rink Sendai. Governor Yoshihiro Murai once told this newspaper, "He has a strong desire to nurture athletes from Sendai, and the prefecture is supporting the renovation of Ice Rink Sendai's facilities to improve the training environment. As Miyagi Prefecture, we would like to continue to work together to spread Hanyu's thoughts on disaster memorialization, disaster prevention, and bringing smiles to people's faces, as we have done in the past." 　Many fans responded to Hanyu's unwavering determination, with comments such as, "He doesn't live extravagantly, but he's always been close to people's hearts," "He's made so many contributions without making a big deal out of it, it really warms my heart," "Hanyu's donation of 54 million yen is so cool, I'm in awe," and "Hanyu is always working hard for the happiness of others. I'll always support him."

The donation was made to the Bell Sunpia Miyagi Izumi Skating Rink in Taiwa-cho, which borders Izumi Ward in Sendai City. On the 23rd, facility director Hiroki Baba spoke to Nikkan Sports and revealed that a donation of 54,205,800 yen had been received to cover repair work at the facility, as well as the installation of dehumidifiers and ventilation fans. Reacting to the extraordinary amount, he said, “I was shocked. We are extremely grateful.” The skating rink operates only during the winter season. The facility, which meets international standards and measures 60 m × 30 m, is structurally prone to condensation caused by temperature differences, resulting in condensation dripping onto the ice and creating bumps on surface. Hanyu, who used the rink frequently, had long been concerned that condensation posed a risk of falls, could interfere with skating, and might lead to injuries, particularly with regard to children’s safety. Around 2024, he began proposing renovation work, including applying anti-condensation coating to the steel framework and upgrading the dehumidification equipment. Although the repairs required a significant amount of funding, Hanyu’s encouragement, saying “Let’s do it. Please go ahead,” helped push the project forward, and the renovation work was carried out between July and September 2025. With the introduction of dehumidifiers and ventilation fans, the long-standing problem of condensation has been “completely eliminated,” according to the facility. Ice-making staff have also commented that “the work has become easier.” The battery of the ice-resurfacing machine (Zamboni) was also replaced with a new one, and Baba said with feeling, “The ice used to be full of bumps, but now they’re gone and it’s safer. The improvements have been extremely effective, and we’re truly grateful.” On the 21st of this month, a facility notice reading “Regarding the donation from Mr. Yuzuru Hanyu” was shared by fans on X (formerly Twitter), and the post spread widely. Even during his competitive career, Hanyu has been deeply committed to promoting the sport, contributing to local communities, and supporting disaster recovery efforts. As of October 2024, the total amount he has donated to Ice Rink Sendai has reached 107,971,996 yen. After experiencing the Great East Japan Earthquake while practicing at that rink, he donated the full prize money from his Olympic gold medals at the 2014 Sochi Games and the 2018 PyeongChang Games, where he became the first Asian man and the first in 66 years worldwide to win back-to-back Olympic titles, to Miyagi Prefecture and Sendai City. In 2024, he also held a charity performance in Ishikawa Prefecture to support the recovery of the Noto Peninsula. He continues to be actively involved in many activities while keeping an eye on social issues. From March 7 to 9 this year, marking 15 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake, he will once again serve as the lead organizer of the ice show "notte stellata" at the Sekisui Heim Super Arena in Miyagi for the fourth consecutive year, sending a message of “hope” from the disaster-affected region.

Thanks to the donation, renovation work was carried out last summer, and the rink has been reborn with improved conditions. Facility director Hiroki Baba (48) expressed his gratitude, saying, “We’re thankful. I was truly surprised. He said it was for young people, and for those who will start skating in the future. He really is an incredible person.” The skating rink at “Bell Sunpia Miyagi Izumi” is normally open from October to March each year. Because of the structure of the building, condensation from the ceiling would drip down, and the ice surface would often become covered with bumps. Hanyu had long been concerned about the condition of the rink and worried that children skating there might fall and get injured. When Baba was consulted with the words, “If there’s anything I can do to help,” he spoke with contractors. They proposed renovation work to prevent condensation by installing six dehumidifiers and eight air blowers, and by applying anti-condensation paint to the steel framework. Despite the high cost of the work, Hanyu immediately decided, saying, “Let’s do it,” and gave strong support to the renovation. Construction, which began in the summer, was completed in September. Baba said, “The air is different from before. The humidity, which used to be around 70 percent, has dropped to 50 percent, and the condensation is gone. We’ve been operating since October last year, and we’ve been able to do so with absolutely no condensation. Figure skating, speed skating, and ice hockey teams all practice at our rink, and everyone has been pleased,” speaking on behalf of the skaters’ feelings. The battery of the ice resurfacing machine (Zamboni) used to maintain the ice surface was also replaced with a new one thanks to the donation. After the New Year, “Bellsanpia Miyagi Izumi” installed a thank-you board reporting the details under the title, “Regarding the donation from Mr. Yuzuru Hanyu.” It reads: “Through this renovation work, our skating rink is currently able to maintain the ice surface in good condition without condensation. Going forward as well, in response to Mr. Yuzuru Hanyu’s generosity, all of our staff will continue to make every effort to ensure the rink can be used safely.” Hanyu continues to provide ongoing support to rinks in his hometown and to disaster-affected areas. He donated the entirety of his Olympic gold medal prize money (6 million yen from the 2014 Sochi Games and 10 million yen from the 2018 PyeongChang Games) to Miyagi Prefecture and Sendai City. His donations to his home base, “Ice Rink Sendai,” have already exceeded 100 million yen.

On January 23, 2026, we came to know about Yuzuru's donation to and ice rink located in Bell Sunpia Miyagi Izumi. This donation was then reported by Sports Hochi on January 24th
