Old Cat Lady

Jimin just passed Lisa to round out the top 5. Seems crazy to me that songs just released last year will likely pass Butter and Dynamite.

I can't remember what I paid for my Wotteo before and, of course, Weverse doesn't let you look at orders over a year old. The Mang keychain I wanted was only $14 USD compared to $37 USD for RJ/Wotteo but hard to compare old stock compared to new stock and I think the Mang was a bit smaller in size. I wouldn't be surprised if this merch was a bit higher - Wotteo may be an even more successful character than RJ and RJ was already wildly popular. I didn't blink at getting the keychain because I just wanted it that much. The only things that really made me pause was the PJ's - $79 USD for just the pants and $59 for a T-shirt (Minions ones were only $30). I ended up only getting the pants. I also got the cross body bag (decided that I would just replace my cat paw purse) and pot holders since I would use them all the time I wanted the pins but that was out of stock before I got to them and I regret not buying the little coin purse. I wanted to get my purchase through in case something I really, really wanted went out of stock so I didn't give myself time to think about it (stupid high pressure sales tactics - that's the only reason I can think of for being out of stock on a Pre-order)

Jin has the cutest merch. I want the Wotteo riding RJ keychain, oven mitts, and PJ's. Part of me wants the Jin mirror pic thing because it looks like the pic will be high quality, but I really hate when they whitewash. The pouch is super cute too but not sure what I'd use it for.

Looks like Entertainment Earth is doing pre-orders now but it won't arrive until September is limited to 1 per client. Trying to decide if I should pull the trigger for $99.99 for the set or wait to see if a better price comes up I found a great deal on a set of BTS Butter Funko Pop. $49.21 including shipping And I got 5 of the Dynamite ones. Entertainment Earth had V and Jhope cheaper than Amazon so I was going to buy those there when I ordered the Minions. I'm sure I didn't need all of them but the Butter set was such a good price and the Dynamite ones are so CUTE!

Looks like BTS will be featured pretty significantly in DM4. I don't normally go to theaters for a movie that'll stream in a few months but I'll have to go just to support the collab ETA: Checked the Entertainment Earth site and don't see the BTS minions yet... or did they sell out? You would think they'd have it listed as out of stock if it were the latter https://www.entertainmentearth.com/s/bts-dm4/s?query1=bts dm4&landingpageid=13960&landingpageurl=bts-dm4&sort=bestsellers

lol, even Funko POP did the famous Jinnie pucker. It would be cool if the hat came off so you can get a better look at Joon's tennis ball yellow hair. I love minions (although my fave character is Agnes) so I might have to hunt for these. I suspect that it'll be a bloodbath and I'll be out of luck though lol, this is cute

soundcheck - the person waited until after Festa to not spoil the surprise. Jin sounds amazing

The shrimp dumpling thing looks good and if the tteokbokki is frozen rather than instant, I can see myself enjoying that. Not sure what's in the middle - some sort of bean thing? I wish there were more than a 100 of the toys they were giving away

I agree. I admit to listening to his videos but even I get super annoyed by him. It's only the titles that are terrible - the content itself is benign at best and boring/annoying at worst. What gets me is when he starts whining about the hate he gets for his click bait titles, saying "these people aren't actually watching the video" but if you know that the only source of the issue is the way you word your title, then either change the titles or STFU and cash your checks

This is really cute but I wonder how much of a cut that Jin gets. Is Wotteo considered intellectual property owned by the company? Tae's arms are massive. Partly camera perspective, but still...

This may be the most beautiful picture of Hobi I've ever seen

lol, that didn't take long

Looks like Gucci is courting Jin.

lol, Mom and daughter are having a Twitter war

He's so sweet I knew it was his idea as soon as I heard it. I'm glad the company put the reigns on him - honestly, free hugs in the park would be downright dangerous. I haven't caught the live yet. Is Weverse down for everyone else? ETA: it's been so long that I had the wrong url but it's working. I thought maybe Jin's return crashed the site, lol

If I were a bit more delulu, I'd start believing in JinMin. I know they all have taken each of their services to heart, but I was struck by how deeply Jimin seemed to have felt Jin's service ETA: I read that Joon was playing Dynamite - tbh, didn't recognize it at all

I don't know what's normal for idols leaving the military, but I'm happy for Jin that he seems to have formed genuine bonds in the military. The one guy looks like he's crying ETA: actually, looks like at least a couple are crying

I feel the same... meanwhile... The girls themselves are so young that it feels icky to dislike them, but it definitely puts a sour taste in the mouth knowing how complicit they were in all the scheming. I honestly didn't care about the case until MHJ made that underhanded comment about how she and NJ accomplished things so much quicker than BTS and then Danielle behaved disrespectfully toward the Le Sserrafim girl that was hosting that music show to repeatedly thank MHJ. Luckily, I nor anyone I know liked their music in the first place
