Kaori had a weird little slip in her step seq and an iffy 3Lz landing. She just seemed a little off. So whoever is DJ-ing the arena music today just played Blinding Lights during the judge/tech panel intro - and cut it off as soon as the intro ended. It's *very* hard for me as a fanyu not to read too much into that 🤣

So I just discovered that the ISU's YouTube feed for Worlds is geo-blocked in Canada. Presumably that means it'll be broadcast on CBC, but for anyone setting a VPN to watch, don't use Canada Also, what was the pairs short result?

Probably have to keep the kitchen ceiling clean of grease for fire prevention or something... I haven't seen anything but rumours for what Jimin is up to

Seventeen actually came through Canada on their last tour, so they definitely did well enough to make it worth their while again. Enlistment news:

My S.I.L' s aunt is the VP of one of the big concert promoters/productions corps based in NYC ( and no, she won't tell me which one). Through that connection, I have learned that it's basically a money-losing venture for most big international acts to come to Canada, except for Toronto...and she (the aunt), although she's from Ottawa, will avoid booking acts here because she knows she won't be able to sell out the show. Kinda sucks.

No... they could be playing Tuktoyaktuk... ( and good Lord, that would be funny!!)

I hope they do! And I hope S. Coups' knee heals up well enough for him to enjoy the tour

On that note, I've been spending today checking out concert dates for the summer. Nothing listed for TXT in North America yet, but ENHYPEN looks like they'll be retracing Suga's route across the US - and skipping Canada of course - but none of the dates work for me. Plus, I'm not into them deeply enough to spend that kind of money on them And rumour has it that Seventeen will be touring in the late summer, starting with a show in Vancouver on Aug 10

The only thing that could ever make do that is Canada making it to the final, which will never happen. But I'd watch a BTS opening ceremony for sure.

Someone couldn't resist the opportunity for a joke... https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4hy3fbPO3U/?igsh=bTFkbnJ5bHhyenN0

Tae posted on his Insta that they filmed at his house, and Wooshik even borrowed his clothes.

Lesserafim were so cute reacting. Especially when Tae dies twice!

Yeah, Tae's unit is part of the Capital Command so he's obviously in or near Seoul

Tae posing for the Compose Coffee store's security camera is just hilarious. So like him, though!

I loved it. Tae is a real one for showing how ridiculous besottedly in love couples can appear to those of us on the lifelong solo tour... and the video sends an important message - that your most important relationship is the one with yourself, because you're the one you'll be stuck with in the end But at this point he's just making fun of how often he dies onscreen

Thanks. I'll probably be posting some rinkside observations

I have to sign up for Prime to watch this. Guess I'll catch Jinny's Kitchen at the same time

Absolutely. Now I wanna see an all-Bangtan version of Midsummer Night's Dream. How would you cast it? My picks: Jimin - Puck Namjoon - Oberon Jin - Bottom Hobi - Titania Tae - Lysander JK - Demetrius Yoongi (in his Yoonji guise)- Hermia

True. He's more of an Oberon.

Personally I think Jimin or Jin would be more Puck-like, but I could see Joonie doing it.

New promo video for FRI(END)S. The headline on the newspaper reads "A relationship that becomes eternal by ending". I dunno, sounds like a sad song to me... https://weverse.io/bts/media/1-137530864

I can't even hold an Ina Bauer on dry land, never mind hydroblade!

Don't know if it's already been.posted but: New Yuzu skill unlocked: Right Forward Inside hydroblade!

Yes, and I think there's fewer people doing those qq streams now so it's not like the numbers of viewers can be spread over 3 or 4 links. In any case, I'll just wait for a chance to watch one of the TV airings later

Excellent!
