Lol, compare Hobi at this event to Jin at that fashion show. Hobi was built to mingle. Perhaps it was better that he didn't win that crummy Bonsang - not worth his precious time to fly that far, spend a day standing around and waiting for some award that he's outgrown years ago

It's official. He really did get younger in the military Is Jin about to get ANOTHER sponsorship? Still trying to figure out if Hobi is the LV ambassador as well

Wow! They really do love Jin in Japan

Fans should only do what they're comfortable with. Turning your hobby into work will only burn you out. I have no issue with people being casual fans or even solos (as long as they're not hostile) - it's actually a sign of a growing audience. My gripe is when people ignore, manipulate, rationalize facts to push a certain narrative. It's annoying enough when they're merely deluding themselves; but it's a pet peeve of mine when people employ such tactics to gaslight and disparage others. I'm so annoyed. I just found out I've been streaming wrong for years now. It turns out that whenever there's a remix and they include another copy of the main song, it gets counted and combined with the total streams for the main track. Thinking back, Hybe has been doing this all the way back since JK's Seven but because of the deep divide in the fandom, solos who have known this have been keeping this information to themselves and only been sharing it with members of the same faction. In the past, Army would have shared this information and worked together.

Of course, I'm always happy to get new music but why the F*!k does Hybe schedule like this? It's only been a week since a major come back and now neither release is going to get proper reception. I understand that Tae's music is seasonal but this type of schedule is only going to cause further splintering of the fandom. I'm so happy RM made it! It wasn't looking like he wasn't going to get there the day before. Also sad that Hobi was the only one left out - trust me that the "always picked last in gym class" feeling sticks with you for life. There's a reason he still references himself as not being handsome. Soobin is taking a medical hiatus. It wasn't specified what the condition is.

US armies are focused on Jimin. RW didn't even chart on US Spotify. When Spotify has bugs, force close the app then open it again - you might need to do it more than once. Sometimes it's when my internet connection is weak and other times I'm guessing I've had it playing too long at least it's doing well in Japan. I hate to say this but really, the Japanese and Thai deserve all the special events more than NA or Korea And he sounds absolutely incredible. This is the best version of Running Wild yet

Lol. IG mistranslated Wotteo's Instagram to say Jin posed like a whore. I was hoping we'd get another iconic Jin plushy for Happy but I think Jin really loves Wotteo Currently, Running Wild is NOT projected to be on Hot 100 and the lead single had fewer streams than "I'll Be There" before the remixes, making Jin the only member to not make the Hot 100 off of his debut album. And "Happy" is projected to only sell 50k units, which is less than half of #1 and by far the lowest selling debut album of BTS members. It's been so obvious to anyone using fact driven logic that the fandom is becoming more and more splintered so I've been predicting that so called Army wouldn't give him the fan support for over a year now but they somehow managed to fall short of even my expectations. I think RW will probably claw it's way into the Hot 100 off the efforts of his solos now that the remixes are out. So apparently each version of RW from the remix albums are counted toward the main title track counter so you can have 80x streams count on your Spotify. Here's a play list so you don't have to start over

hmmm...

You could tell that Wendy was nervous. She went off key a couple times, but the tone of her voice is gorgeous and they sound so good together. Jin really loves performing Running Wild and I'm in love with the live performance of Another Level. DJ Jino hated the song and I think he's crazy. But I love sentimental music (even if it is about a video game) Apparently Kpoppies were accusing Jin of lip synching. I guess because the lag caused the audio and video to not synch up yesterday? I just thought it was proof of how beautiful his live singing is. And his live singing normally sounds richer than the studio versions anyway so they don't even sound alike ETA: I guess it was straight up slander rather than a misunderstanding - it seems someone edited the studio version of the song onto the video from Happy, which made it really obvious that it was manipulated since there was a band for the live stage ETA:

I figured he explained on the special show or on an interview. I just thought it was funny at how different my perception was from the reality. But dramatic ass music like this is well suited to action scenes

I heard this and thought it was the most hauntingly beautiful and soulful of the tracks. Now I'm watching Asian Entertainment and she says this is about video gaming

I'm sure DJ Jino will have this on his Patreon. When he doesn't have to dance, he consistently sounds even better than the studio version. The song has a whole different vibe when Jin sings it vs. when Chris sings it ETA: OMG! Coldplay left a comment on this thread

As expected, his live performance sounds incredible. I want to see this so badly. I feel stupid. For some reason it didn't occur to me that i could probably purchase it to view on Weverse

I've had a chance to listen to Happy a few times and I love it so much. I think it's my favorite of all the albums. Will definitely be the one I listen to the most anyway (I really love RPWP and D-Day too but those require more of the right mindset whereas I can see listening to Happy any time). I was a little nervous when "I'll Be There" came out but to me, it's the weakest song of the album. None of them are skips, but Another Level is incredible and I could (and have) listen to Running Wild all day. I think he sings the chorus in falsetto throughout but I hope when he performs live that he really belts one of them. "I Will Come To You" has that sentimentality that we know and love from Jin.

lol. I wonder if it was tough for Hobi to hold back. We can definitely do this challenge together

I'm so annoyed I feel asleep before Jin's premiere. Missed half a streaming day. Have to go listen to the rest now OMG, I love it even more than The Astronaut! Lol, I knew Jin wasn't going to have a love interest in any of his MV's. But having a pup as his costar makes him even more a man after my own heart.

Its the special anniversary of the biggest controversy in Jin's career

have insomnia and this gave me a good giggle

Pretty sure I'm going to love this album. "I'll Be There" is a fun, catchy song but I honestly think it'll be my least favorite of the album. Really looking forward to track 6. What can I say, I'm a sucker for sentimental songs And Jin has mastered the art of oozing sex appeal while revealing nothing.

Does everyone know that you can vote via # on twitter as well? The cynic in me wonders if these vote getting polls are a scam to get more engagement but I guess it doesn't hurt to try

The word "delayed" is a bit misleading. The guys NEVER promised a "Comeback" in 2025, just that they'd get back together some time then.

I'm definitely guilty of some of this. I guess I'm part of the problem too Some good news though

Coldplay's special guest in Seoul is NOT Jin! Lol! This makes the song even more fun
