Absolutely! Unfortunately it's par for the course. Honestly, this is largely Army's fault - the Korean awards always seem to consider sales when they do the nominations. What's driving me nuts lately are the Tae stans constantly complaining that he's not getting support just because he's not doing as well as JK. The other day, they were trending that BTS should disband and all sorts of toxic hashtags. The worst is when Tae/Jimin solos are trashing JK on the general music threads like Chart Data- Jeebus, at least have some dignity in front of the other fandoms! Tae has the 2nd best numbers of the group! I'll bet you anything that these same people weren't there for the hyung line. I think Indigo still doesn't even have 500 M streams on Spotify.

Nah. Our numbers weren't as good as for 3D and we don't have the help of other fandoms for this one. And the Swifties were actively working to block us. Can't remember if it was already posted, but this interview was cute. Imagining this shy JK is turning me into goo. Nothing we don't already know, but still nice to read about it More trouble at YG. Baby Monster is supposed to be their next big hope. The group is still together but it's hard not to think that this indicates something troubling, especially after everything else going on

We have a chance to roast Billboard to their faces. I doubt that they'll honestly answer any of the serious questions and likely just setting us up to be mocked

This is so stinkin cute!

Lol, don't bother buttering up to Hobi. Jin is clearly the softer touch as drill instructor And I made a chart focused playlist for anyone interested

I feel like such a fool! All you have to do to add the same video multiple times on your playlist is: 1. click on your playlist 2. click on the 3 dots under the title of the playlist 3. click +add videos 4. a search bar pops up 5. paste the url of the video you want to add 6. click on the video that shows up in the pop up 7. click on the blue "add videos" on the bottom right hand corner All this time I've been spending time every few days queuing up all these videos when I could have just been doing a play list

Oops sorry. I looked to see if she was an actress and saw a picture that I thought looked like the woman in the music video. I looked up more about her and I guess this Han Seo Hee is a frequent whistleblower on idols and a shady character herself. According to this article, she outed V for going to a club underage. I'm continually amazed at how little it takes to get into a scandal in Korea. Now that I look at the pics in this article, she really doesn't look anything like the woman in the music video https://hype.my/2019/176324/han-seo-hee-korean-scandals/ In other new, Hobi got his promotion ... and Jin continues to be the sweetest Hyung and the ROK Defense Minister is putting the kibosh on using BTS members or any other idol for non-military tasks. Apparently they wanted Hobi to mc some sort of cook off and wanted them both to do something with baseball(?). I know Jin refused but I think Hobi/Hybe agreed to the MC thing before the Defense Minister made this statement. I'll have to look for the article - it was unclear to me whether Hobi actually wanted to do it.

An ARMY made a 100 video Youtube playlist for Golden. I probably won't use it since I stream for charting and I don't think the B-side tracks will chart after the 1st week, but it's a good resource when making your playlist. But I'm surprised that there are multiple listings of the same videos on the playlist - I didn't think you could do that on Youtube. This will make streaming SO much easier! Watching the Time Square concert on Youtube. That last minute crowd is HUGE! I read on Twitter that ARMY figured it out based on someone seeing them cleaning the windows at Times Square. Lol, BangtanTV cut him off at the waist when doing the hip swivels during 3D at ~10:00 - reminds me of that Elvis broadcast. Also, watching the G-dragon Story on Seoulite TV. Turns out Han So Hee from "Seven" is a former trainee at YG and she also had drug allegations as well as a lot of shady goings on with the drug tests and the founder of YG threatened to kill her if she didn't change her testimony regarding a cover up of a drug investigation of YG's other idols. Looks like Lisa got off easy with "just" a dispatch scandal. Hybe may have its problems, but their recent demands on MB shows how they're trying to make the Kpop community better - hopefully their success kills off YG https://www.allkpop.com/article/2023/08/han-seo-hee-asserts-she-does-not-want-punishment-for-yang-hyun-suk-but-a-sincere-apology https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/news/korean/han-seo-hee-accused-of-illegal-drug-use-and-violating-probation-may-face-prison-sentence/articleshow/83399767.cms

lol, these socks are totally my thing but they don't belong on RM at all. Especially with that outfit. Sorry Joonie, but I hate that haircut. Scooter is really pushing for JK to get that #1 album. Geffen dropped the price from $10 to $5. I bought demo A. I don't think I can have a 2nd one count toward charts - I thought I read somewhere that they go by address so I can't even use Gabe's card and e-mail. Projections have him pretty close to Taylor for #1 album but the Swifties are likely making another push as well.

btw, @barbara, when this goes up on Youtube, put it on your play list. Unofficial plays of the song on Youtube count toward Hot 100. For everyone else, only official videos count toward the Global 200. But I *think* that includes things like the performance videos on Bangtan TV. Apparently part of the reason big companies put all these videos out is to help increase streaming counts, especially now that Youtube limits how many views get counted per account.

That's a wide cut. I'm nervous he's going to get a scar on that precious face

JK looks stinkin adorable. I can't blame Jimmy for not wanting to do that part of the dance I read that JK actually performed twice because he didn't like how his voice wavered in the first performance

It looks like there's 4 versions of it. The rest of the album looks the same but there's some sort of recorded message at the end. I was hoping to find a funding account because I wanted to get the Target or Walmart version for the extra goodies, although I'll have to double check to make sure that it counts for the charts. They still have it incorrect. Spotify itself says reads that it's 108 days. ARMY really pushed to get that done a day earlier so it would be harder to break. Maybe he meant the 1st time on tour? Or he just forgot that they did this on SNL? But this performance was from 11/6. Here's the full performance

It's too bad that Hybe didn't have enough stock of Layover. Then they'd both have been 2 M sellers on their 1st day. But good to see it doing so well at home. I'm a little nervous - the Twitter news isn't as good as it was for 3D. Latto is so grateful for being a part of Seven

https://w2g.tv/?r=dg1s1i2nr9jg3tp5k9 got some extra goodies today

So good! A little one dimensional but going on my playlist.

Yes, deep fried food belongs in its own category. Yum but sparingly. Central Cee was awful. I hate that style of rap and will never understand why people like it

I'm pretty sure only the British and the occasional weirdo like it. At RM's current weight, Jin could carry him on that military hike. He weighs approximately the 3 packs - crazy since RM is bigger than him. I f'n HATE crotch grab choreography. But other than that, this video looks like it'll be incredible!

The only one that surprised me was Hobi's album. That's a complete departure from anything he or BTS has ever done before. Everyone else was completely in line with what I heard of their personal musical tastes and/or previous work. The OP updated her post and others chimed in to clarify. RM only weighs 153.44 lbs

damn! 3 sets of gear? Even after military muscle he's pretty thin - 66kg/145.5 lbs. lot of hidden strength in that skinny body.

This quote seems appropriate for Chapter 2
