I once looked into getting full size cutouts and they were like $500 😳 I feel like I missed a big part of the news. I didn't know there's a cancer scare. I'm glad things are turning up for you and hope you recover quickly

I hope RM got a kick out of this. If he's going to fry his mental health taking things to heart from online, I hope he also gets joy from it. ETA: X ARMY were planning to chart Nuts in celebration of RM's driver license because of the "pro rider" line. ETA 2: When it came out, I honestly thought DSYLM was the weakest of Jin's 3 lead songs and doubted choosing it as a lead single. But now it's on the board as one of the longest charting solo singles and I find myself listening to it regularly... shows what I know. ETA 3: Looks like JK's "Seven" has been on both global charts for 125 weeks and counting, Jimin's "Who" on both Global charts for 72 weeks and counting, Jennie's "Like Jennie" on Global 200 for 40 weeks.

I think I'm most surprised by this ambassadorship. But he's as much of an athlete as any basketball player, so why not

Yeesh! Trying to remember if I've ever seen any of the other members do this and wondering how often the others get asked. I suspect part of it is that he has softer boundaries than the others.

Finally. A tool for fighting all these asinine protests

They're always quite effusive with BTS Birthday wishes but I think this might break the record. Makes me want to look for the other ones. JK is #5 on Grindr's hottest man of the year. Am I the only one that doesn't see the fuss about Jonathon Bailey? To me, he's a nice looking guy but not extraordinary in neither a classically handsome or quirky character actor way. Bailey is also People's sexiest man alive https://www.grindr.com/unwrapped And BTS extends it's streak to the 9th year. It grinds my gears a bit that they include a made up movie group Is this the 8th year in a row that BTS or a member has taken this title?

I'm the JK of my group. It's about practicality, not taste. I used to have a "friend" that would berate me and everyone around her about bringing things that she deemed unnecessary, but when the airline lost her luggage, she had a melt down over not having things she didn't really need and even blamed me. I provided everything necessary for day to day but she still threw tantrums over not having her specific things, many of which she intentionally left in the country when we went back since the alcohol was more important than the things that she "needed" She'd constantly say "you can buy [x} there" whenever she didn't like what I brought but realistically, all you really need is money, necessary medications, and a passport so it's hypocritical to judge anyone for bringing *wants* just because they don't align with her wants. You can buy anything that you actually need there but it's not as good or convenient and I'd rather spend my limited time enjoying the area. Every trip I've ever gone on, I've forgotten or lost something, sometimes actual necessities like medication, but I'm always the one that is best able to handle not having them - just sort of shrugging and moving on without them or doing plan B if necessary. I've traveled in multiple groups and in every instance, people borrowed my things while judging me for bringing things they deemed unnecessary. On my last trip, my hostel roommate had her luggage lost and I made all sorts of practical suggestions to just get through the day but none were good enough so rather than her just enjoying the area, I helped her as she wasted a day going to multiple stores that still didn't have what what she really wanted so, no, you can't always get things you *want* (which is 99% of what your things are) where you're going. That was a long, rambling, trauma induced way of saying, I now only travel solo except on car trips and I *guarantee* that Jimin borrows JK's things all the time.

ATEEZ must have done a Youtube food tour a while back. JK and Jin needs to do this - they would love it. ETA: just remembered that @Faithyu referenced the 2nd video after I posted the BBQ video. Hopefully the other 2 are new for you

I'm honestly not at all surprised. As I've been saying for a while, based on factual evidence, it's been pretty clear that the fandom is severely divided. People who are involved in social media that are continually claiming that there isn't a bias against certain members is either romanticizing the fandom or so influenced by their personal bias that they don't care. But I do understand why people like you, who don't watch social media, would be surprised based on past results. Even if Jin were the only one nominated, he likely wouldn't have won. My guess is that he ended up a distant 3rd on voting. I'm more surprised that Engenes beat Carats.

I'm reminded of one of those pretentious Dick Button quotes. When commenting on Oksana Grishuk when they finished Liebertango, he said something about her "Penzance (sp? some Italian word I'm sure I butchered)... the way she stands there". There's just a certain aura that he has that reminds me of Yuzu... I first thought that when he was doing some event 1 or 2 years ago with slicked back dark hair and a dark suit. Just something about the way he stands there that reminds me of Yuzu. But like I said, I really know absolutely nothing else about Yeonjun so I can totally see being completely wrong. Oddly enough, even though it's for completely different vibes, to me, the one that reminds me the most of Yuzu from BTS is Jin because of certain mannerisms and facial expressions he makes and the way he shifts back and forth from cute princess to charismatic boss with that bit of endearing cringe. speaking of BBQ, I can't remember if anyone here is Atiny (?), but I just saw this on my timeline

Probably better for the artists anyway. These Korean award shows seem really tedious. I remember one year, JK had like 3 or 4 different hair styles since they were standing around and waiting for so long

Do Europeans not use honey for their chicken? It's pretty popular in the US. I used to work in a grocery store that sold a honey crunch chicken and customers would rave about it. oddly enough, I worked there 4 years but never tried it. I do eat hot honey or sweet chili pretty often. And my favorite beef or pork jerky is sweet and spicy. oh yeah... and my bbq for my ribs is sweet and spicy as well. lol, you 2 would hate my cooking. I agree. Makes no sense to me why Baby Monster is singing it instead unless the voice actors aren't available. Unfortunately, it does make sense for the usual corrupt political nonsense - giving a YG artist more exposure. And Buzzfeed managed to rope another HYBE artist into reading thirst tweets. I have no clue why and might be completely off since I don't follow TXT, but for some reason Yeonjun always gives me Yuzu vibes. ETA: btw, looking at Yeonjun reminds me of our conversations about Korean beauty standards. I was watching a video where they say that in Korea they like the ears to stick out 30% and even have a plastic surgery for it. Totally explains why no one cares about Cha Eunwoo's ears in spite of being "the visual of visuals". Makes it more surprising that Tae had his pinned back - though I think even after being pinned back, Tae's ears still stick out a little so might still suit Korean beauty standards.

@Faithyu Just saw this on my Youtube. Lol, no way in hell would BTS do this. Maybe they can get JK or RM to do one. Jin wouldn't even finish the 1st tweet
