Argh. Fans of all 3 are going to be BUSY!

Consider the kind of song Super Tuna is - its essentially an in-joke between Jin and ARMY. I think expectations for huge chart success are unrealistic. There's no way in heck it's going to get radio spins except in SK, for example. And I think a lot of people have given up on Spotify. I know I'm streaming more on Apple now, just because it carries more weight for the BB charts. As for hyung line (more like rap line) charting vs maknae line charting... the maknae line put out more mainstream stuff. A hip-hop or rap song, by any artist, is always going to have a harder time on the Hot 100 than a pop, dance, or rock song. So even if all the ARMY streamers turn up equally for both, the vocal line's stuff is going to attract more listeners from the general public. And that will cause a difference in the numbers. If Jin were to crank out a Michael Bolton-style power ballad in English, which I sincerely hope he doesn't because power ballads 🤮, he'd win everything, IMO.

The person they put it as the ADOR CEO doesn't seem tough enough for the job, tbh. And Hanni is a manipulative lying little piece of work

I had that! It was a beta test version and after a year or so, they pulled it. I really liked it, so I was sad to see it go.

It'll be fun to see Jin try some of the more difficult puzzles in In The SEOM, but what I really want him to try is the new TinyTan one, Cooking On. It's ludicrously hard

So lucky for J-ARMY! But also, Jin must *really* like meeting ARMY up close and personal. He goes out of his way to do it. Also, between Jin's hi-touch on Nov 30 and Yuzu's Ice Story 3 starting up on Dec 7, Tokyo is the place to be this December! I'd laugh if a fanyu ARMY won tickets to both

Sorry what? It's everywhere!

I love the art concept, with the confetti and the primary colours - it's almost child-like. Very Jin!

I saw that. And apparently lots of the group's fan had been campaigning to ger him back after SM put him on hiatus over it. So they got him back for all of a day before the antis moved in. Frankly, SM is a whole mess. They never take their artists' side.

Has anyone else seen the story that apparently the men in Jimin's unit, held some kind of ceremony at the base on his birthday and Jimin's mom was invited - and they all kowtowed to her to honour her for raising such a son? Which is a deep and unusual honour, not often used. I can only find the story from one source and it's a Jimin solo account so I'm wondering if it's true.

There were 500,000 views in the first 26 minutes. Even if people taper off their streaming after a few hours, I was expecting something closer to 10 million. YT has been getting more and more weird about view counts

Like Bsngtan, Like ARMY... a dad joke worthy of Jin https://x.com/nisaaaaBTS/status/1844735725172052053?t=tHLAGWWgkaXNpzBKwtShUQ&s=19

This would be so much better than the all-out blood bath most seat sales are now. And I can see how it would help cut down on scalpers.

He explained that in his live, that he would be removing the old version.

The MV by itself really is a nice bit of filmmaking, though. Do they still give Grammys for MVs? At this raye it could win an Oscar in one of the short film categories

I read a rumour on X that they're not even working out of Hybe HQ anymore, that MHJ has stolen a bunch of the ADOR staff and they're all working out of a new location. If true, then somebody has some deep pockets and are backing them. So whatever happens MAMA comes around will be very telling

Maybe it's my suspicious nature, but I feel like that change to the MAMA criteria will be used as a way to make the awards way more manipulable. And I'll bet all my Weverse cash that ugly bunny group and their narcissistic 'mom' will be the first big beneficiaries of the change

Oh that's so frustrating! That happened to me when I tried to get tickets to the Rugby World Cup in France (my mom wanted to go). It happened several times and finally I gave up. I hope you get in!

I honestly don't understand people who see a collapsed person getting CPR and think it's the perfect thing to capture on film. Let people have their dignity ffs

Yeah, I saw that. Once again, a international band touring the "US & Canada" thinks two dates in Toronto counts as touring Canada 😩. I'll think about it. July is peak tourist season in Toronto but at least I wouldn't have to fly. It'd be more appealing if there was someone coming with...

Anyone planning to try for this year's Dalmajung merch? The moon jar and the gourd jar and cups have both caught my eye, but people are going so gaga over them on X that it feels like Artist Made all over again.

Jinconomy!

I was waiting for him to do something with one of the BTS games. Seemed weird for him to be ignoring them, especially since In The Seom was the one they designed themselves

I feel like they're adopting a 'flood them with options' kind of tactic for Grammys. They're sending in so many different options that at least one's gotta land...

I never doubted that, and I'm surprised that anyone would. Even when they're doing product placement during their content, they make it adorably obvious that's what they're up to.
