This quote seems appropriate for Chapter 2

Strawberry blonde just means that it has tones in both the red and blonde range. Also, when you look at his skin tone in the video, it was clearly whitewashed (the norm in Korea), which means his hair would have been darker in real life. It was likely the lower swatch but it appeared like the upper swatch in the video - the labels were just the manufacturer's name for that particular hair dye but they're both considered strawberry blonde. Like most hair colors, there is a wide range that could be defined with that term. These, and many other shades, are all considered strawberry blonde

Lol. Chipotle getting involved in the fan Wars.. I don't approve of the exchange between the fans but it's hilarious that a big official company account would get in the middle of it. And Soobin praising Joon. awww... poor Jimin. But his hair looks fantastic!

I remember being disappointed because I was looking forward to JK and Jin's albums the most since their previous songs match my taste the most and then I didn't like Seven. Then I poo poo'd the album after I heard it was going to be all English and assumed it was going to be much of the same but I slap myself across the face because I was wrong. Literally, the only song I don't think I'll like is Seven, lol. 3D has a fun refrain. Closer sounds like it'll be great dance music. Standing Next to You almost sounds like Disco. Yes or No, Somebody, and Please Don't Change sound like generic pop so probably won't make my playlist but I don't actively dislike it.Too Sad to Dance sounds a bit folksy which I enjoy. Hate You and Shot Glass Full of Tears sounds like they'll be beautiful heartfelt ballads, which is the type of music I really fell in love with when listening to JK's covers. Holy sh!t. Seven went up a million streams yesterday. Maybe all those other fandoms really are helping out streaming (ETA: ah poop. I guess that was for the previous day. Just saw a tweet that showed that it fell to #7)

random, irrelevant thought: I think I finally figured out Jimin's hair color - Strawberry Blonde!

If you're going to buy them, make sure you wait until Friday so it can count for the charts. Not sure if someone's organizing a fan collab, if half the fandoms out there hate Miley, if this is an anti-billboard/radio movement, or if it's just that they see how big JK is and are hoping to curry support for their fave, but I'm seeing posts of support from several major accounts - declaring '[fandom name] will be streaming Golden". So far, I've seen accounts from Sza, Ariana Grande, Adele, Selena Gomez, Beyonce, Cardi B, and even a Swiftie. My guess is that there won't be much actual support from the fandoms. I don't follow other fandoms, but I've never heard of this type of thing before across so many fandoms except kpopies colluding AGAINST BTS rather than FOR another artist. ETA: It looks like the tweets of support are from "[Celebrity Name] Stats" accounts. No idea why And an anonymous ARMY donated $1000 to fund charting Golden . I don't want to get my hopes up, but it feels like next week is going to be HUGE. And holy crap! JK is back to #1 on Spotify only 2 days after Taylor released her album . Although I really wish ARMY would quit dragging Swifties. I know the Swifties started it, but creating animosity between the fandoms over a handful of idiots only impedes his momentum

I was just thinking yesterday that I need to consider moving to Canada. With the US aiding and abetting genocide in the Middle East and the potential Russia/China alliance, I could see us being a target. I remember watching a Dateline or one of those news type shows when I was a kid and the Soviet Union was considering targeting MN because the weather is supposedly similar to there so they would know how things would react in this area.

I agree. The hair style is pretty terrible on JK, RM, and Hobi but Yoongi actually looks like a really cute girl. I can totally see plenty of men asking "Yoonji" out. btw, Taylor Swift had a big album drop yesterday and was somewhat underwhelming. The top track didn't even outstream Drake on Spotify. It'll still be #1 and 11.7 million is still a huge number, but not nearly as big as the Swifties thought it would be. I was thinking that JK's timing for Golden was terrible with being only a week after Taylor, but we might still get a #1 on the global charts and top 10 on Hot 100

Wow! Thank you! I don't like the song but it warms my heart that the people JK's been collaborating with have so much gratitude. I was worried that Laroi would actually be disappointed since his first choice was Bieber and they had a lot more success on the charts

Dayum. Tae is getting stalked. I'm glad Tae takes a more aggressive approach to dealing with toxic fans. People like that don't learn unless they have serious consequences And more problematic behavior. I guess people are showing the guys apartments on Twitter

It was the highest grossing tour for a Kpop soloist as well as having the 4 highest grossing rap arena shows. But BlackPink had the highest grossing tour for a Kpop act ever (although BTS had more attendance in 2018[?])

Just saw this. It's not hard to see why suddenly there's all these separate Kpop categories and why Seven didn't get nominated for the streaming and Global awards. And how are they going to determine the winner of the best touring Kpop award? Black Pink made more money but Yoongi charted higher

JK's so lucky that there's no Jungkook in TXT. He looks so small next to them - can you imagine him getting the constant roasting that Jimin gets from JK? I looked it up and the one guy is the same height, but he still looks so small and cute

huh? No JK for either Global category or streaming artist category? And Jimin made a non-kpop category but you'd think this would be pretty cut and dry

YG seems like a malicious company. No proof, but right after GDragon left, he suddenly gets drug charges and soon after Lisa refuses two contract offers, she's part of some Dispatch scandal... and of course, where there's Kpop, they have to drag our guys into it

I haven't seen any info for voting yet. Not sure if we should be more happy that they got nominated or more angry that they're relegated to Kpop categories rather than being recognized on the main categories. There's no reason that Seven should be in the Kpop categories since it's the biggest global hit of the year, there's no Kpop sound, and it's full English

JK's going to be on this show in a few days! JK seems to have a great relationship with all his dongsaengs. JK probably should have known when everyone giggled after Laroi said it was chocolate Spotify essentially de-monetizing small artists A new Billboard chart. Only US, it looks like. So made for Taylor and Drake I guess but maybe it's possible to get Golden to #1?

Yay! He looks SO good as a blonde. Definitely his color Looks like JK is trying to be the hyung that his hyungs were to him

It's ok. To me, it sounds more like a B side song. The hook isn't very strong and I don't get the appeal of Central Cee. To me, he is the weakest of the rappers that JK has worked. But JK's voice blends really well with Kid Laroi. I'm not a fan of the video - mostly because I just hate the ghetto aesthetic and Kid Laroi and Central Cee reminds me of those suburban kids trying to imitate gangsta rappers

Found a list of all the nominees https://www.soompi.com/article/1620737wpp/2023-mama-awards-announces-nominees-pre-voting-begins I can't remember if this is an award that's largely dependent on votes or panel. Hoping Army - and V stans especially - plays it smart. Throw support to V in the Best Vocal Performance Solo, to Jungkook for Best Male Artist (since he's most likely to win of the 3), to Jimin for Best Dance Performance male solo (to divide up the awards and he's a stronger dancer). I know V stans are feeling like victims because V's album "only" did the 2nd best out of the group ( I know Jimin's singles charted higher but Layover had more sales and streams than Face) I think @ralucutzagyis right that Seven will probably take "Song of the Year" but I guess BTS can win as a group for "Take Two" in Best Vocal Performance Group. I don't recognize the other nominees in that category so it seems like a strong possibility. And The Planet can take Best OST. Weird - Jisoo's in Worldwide Fan Choice but not Jungkook or Jimin - I guess that makes it easier for the fandom to unite Seven will probably get Best Collab ETA: I guess this isn't a full list. Album of the year isn't on here. Not sure what else. ETA 2:

Trying to figure out who outside of BTS got nominated for Song of the Year. Hopefully Army votes for Take Two. TBH, I think The Planet is a pretty bad song - it was only good to get a taste of OT7 again
