Holy Pooh! This is beyond impressive! Yuzu is taking the "pro" in his pro career to a whole new level. As he has taken figure skating to a level never imaginable before him.

Too cute!!

I have - he has a couple wearing winter gear (in the heat, but not sweating). Mostly in parkas. I found a really good DSYLM Spotify playlist - since we are supposed to be trying to have Jin get the most streams. I like that I didn't have to come up with something myself. It's called and there's a little heart at the beginning "Jin 100xDon't Say You Love Me playlist" Posted by iiiSep (a dot here)27. If you have Spotify, I recommend this one.

Have we seen this?

[2025.09.05] *Machine translation from Japanese to English, inaccuracies exist* Source: https://deepedgeplus.kyodonews.jp/column/philosophizing-yuzuruhanyu/112394/ Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20250905045732/https://deepedgeplus.kyodonews.jp/column/philosophizing-yuzuruhanyu/112394/ Yuzuru Hanyu’s Perception of Negative Emotions –Are People More Likely to Feel a Sense of Reassurance When Connected by "Misfortune"? [Part 6] In the previous dialogue, among the twelve questions posed at the outset by Yuzuru Hanyu (called Maegami-san here), a common thread of “boundaries” was found, and the two deepened their conversation on this theme. At the end of the last dialogue, Maegami-san raised an intriguing question: when people draw a boundary against another person or something, does the image of the boundary differ depending on whether one draws it with a consciousness of being the “same” or with a consciousness of being “different”? Is it because people have negatives that they can direct their eyes toward positives? Is it precisely because one holds negative emotions that one can connect with others who share the same emotions...? Together with Rei Nagai (Neguse-san), Maegami-san explored further into questions without answers, in a dialogue so deep that the accompanying reporters almost felt left behind. Maegami: Maybe, whether one seeks “sameness” and then draws a line, becoming exclusive toward other things, or instead assumes that something is different from one’s own opinion and on that basis draws the line, just that alone seems to make the image of the boundary quite different. That very thing feels similar to the relationship between “happiness” and “envy”... Like, when one draws the boundary of “I am happy” in a positive way, toward those who are on the same plane, people who also feel happiness, a structure might easily arise of, “because you are happy, I am happy.”

Blond Jimin. Oooooooo. I would have htought he'd wait until his hair was longer but this is okay for me. I love a blonde Jimin, I wish they would communicate with us, Maybe a live on Namjoon's birthday?

his best look

What's interesting is that the first night of the show was, I think, celebs invite only. I wold think they'd all want to go when the general public isn't there. Oh the other hand, three or four members attending at the same time would be a circus. Namjooning is contagious, evidently.

More pics from this 2026 Yuzu calendar were released. I really like the ones with him wearing the colorful sweater and scarf. He looks so cute and cuddleable! The first one is too overedited, in my opinion. Yuzu is a natural beauty. He doesn't need all this editing or filters.

wow so cool

I wonder if the guys are trying to distract people from that actress's betrayal of Jimin.

All of them are supporting this thing? That's interesting. I wonder if they're looking to do another art collab like BTS Connect

Tae was there, too!

Okay - we did it! (I hoped it would be me to make it go over-) Also - Namjoon at an art event? Of course.

Yuzu wearing his practice kit

I love how Tae just ran out off the blue to Eric and hugged him, his reaction was so real. This was two friends meeting unexpected and I loved seeing it😊. interesting timing...... I would have expected something like this before Mingyu enlists, but as far as I know he will be part of their tour, their enlistment strategy is still a big question mark for me. Namjoon namjooning🥰 So, I just checked TXT's US concerts and damn, there are a lot tickets left, and they are "cheap" 80-110$. Hope more will sell, but the timing is just wrong. It would have been better to change the order, like asia, us, europe or to just start in early 2026.

Talking about "Yuzuru Blue".... The Mineral Cup is on. Vote for your favorite pretty blue rock! Both these choices reminded me of Yuzu's costumes: https://x.com/MineralCup/status/1963030744554729764?t=kWXc1NFiAOsS52leUZvO4w&s=19

Yuzu fought so very hard. We all cried to see his bravery to finish the programme. Thankfully he won the Grand Prix and won a run of four before his transition to professional, such an amazing talent and inspiration to us all about courage and persistence in the face of adversity
