Perhaps they should read this (as I sit at SFO for hours....)

After reading some of the discussion on X about this, it looks like there's a subset of his solo fans who are now happily bragging about the mob scenes at the airport from his last trip, saying it shows that he's the most popular... like wtf If there's people thinking like that, like the size of the chaos is a competition, then Tae is never going to have another safe airport experience ever, unfortunately

Even if Jin took his shirt off??? 😛

Scream away. Just don't stand behind me. ( I understand the inability to be quiet under the circumstances). I just hate screaming - not the screamers. And I completely agree with not worrying about taking video. I think I've wasted way too much time taking videos when I should just be watching. You do want one or two pictures but that should be enough. and I don't just want but need a Wotteo keyring, too.

I would have out-screamed you, especially for Rope It. Save a horse, ride Cowboy Jin 🤠

sound check was Super Tuna, Rope It, and Don’t Say You Love Me. he looks SO cute. I took video of it but it’s all shaky and out of focus because I want to experience it in the moment rather than worrying about the camera ETA: @barbaraand @rockstaryuzu would have hated me. I was totally the screaming fan girl

That picture!

No worries, I'll try in London!
