Just read the Japan Times article. It was so nice. Yuzu sounds so happy and healthy and I love hearing that he's embraced the challenge of becoming an artist.

About that dream... i'm sure it's just your brain doing it's thing, but superstitious me is going to say it anyway: God forbid anything bad happen to any of our boys

Good luck!

Agree that it's beyond frustrating that BigHit thinks "tour" = US & Korea. The timing couldn't be worse. As much as I want to see Hobi live, doing it within a month after getting back from seeing Yuzu is impossible. Also I do NOT want to travel in the US after Jan 20. For any reason. Argh. As for the leak - someone pointed out that because of the Jeju crash, all announcements from HYBE/Bighit had been postponed by a week. So maybe TM missed the memo on that and did their announcement exactly when they were supposed to, but because of the crash, BugHit announcing the tour was delayed

Hi satellites: Does anyone here have a recommendation for a decent hotel near Tokyo Station? I'm trying to book for my trip to see Echoes in February and I'm having a hard time deciding amongst all the listings. I have reasons for wanting to stay near the station and I'm traveling with a friend. Our first pick of hotel doesn't have availability over the weekend of the 8th and 9th which is why we're dithering. We need clean and safe and not too $$, everything else is optional.

It's done now. Golden Disk was their last thing with scheduled under Ador before the trouble erupted. Now things'll get interesting

Same and I'm not interested in what they said. All I know is Lesserafim made a point in their speech of thanking their company ( i.e. Source Music), their staff, their fans, *and* Bang Sihyuk. It was a thing of beauty- a stinging rebuke to NJ without even mentioning them

I enjoyed watching Hiroshima Echoes on Beyond Live so much! Yuzu was so cute and witty at the end. I really hope he eats lots of good food in the next few days. These shows are like running marathons - his body's energy stores must be totally depleted by the end. Yuzu, please research what marathon runners and other long distance athletes eat to keep their body fueled and their muscles from cramping while they race, because you might find it helpful for your shows. I hope he sleeps well, too.

This kind of training is something Nordic armies (Finland, Norway, Sweden) and Canadian troops are known for. Ngl, when I saw that my first thought was "hey, cool, Tae gets to live like a Maple ARMY for a while"... Jin's neck was just made for expensive jewelery like this. Plus put him in bigger diamonds, FRED. I'm guessing that was when Hobi was in LA. Kai might not have chosen at all - apparently a lot of Korean parents with foreign-born kids will make the choice for their kids before they're grown, so as to save them from having to enlist. Given Kai's family background, picking the US probably makes more sense. I think a lot of MOA haven't really woken up to the necessity of voting and streaming. So TXT gets worse results than they should

Some food for thought here: Kinda points to why HYBE makes sometimes questionable hiring choices (like 🛴). They're looking to take advantage of industry insiders so as to sidestep the whole problem.

This warms my soul! The Franciscan friar using an ARMY bomb to light the way!

@Faithyu try this? https://www.deokdeokgoose.com/

I'm just hoping I won't have to cross any borders to go see them this time. Like, Canada exists and we do have concert venues, eh? Also, if given the choice I'd rather not have to travel in Trump's America thankyouverymmuch

I didn't go look at the numbers myself but I've seen ppl posting that the number revisions for sales from SM are miniscule... Hanteo is associated with SM in some corporate but indirect way... so yeah this was systematic and deliberate

Happy New Year, everyone!

Happy New Year! (I still have 7 hours to go.... 2024 don't let the door hit ya in the 🍑 on the way out)

AMEN!!!!

No wonder the guys did Cypher.

National mourning, it seems

I know someone who worked on designing RR engines for aircraft and let's just say that between Boeing and RR, i'd put my money on Boeing-related things to be the source of any safety failure, simply based on company culture. But bird strikes can have unpredictable effects so who knows

@Faithyu

Personally I think it's strange that the fire spread so rapidly from the engine and affected the landing gear controls so quickly. Boeing will probably have some explaining to do

The pilots were in contact with the airport tower, so the details are already coming out in the news and this is what I've read so far: - on initial approach to landing, a bird strike damaged one of the engines, which caught on fire. Pilots decided to abort landing and circle for another approach while advising airport to prepare for an emergency landing. - the engine that was on fire was the one supplying power for the electronic and hydraulic controls for the landing gear. By the time the plane was making its second approach, they had lost control of the landing gear and couldn't lower it - smoke and toxic fumes from the engine fire were starting to fill the cabin, so the pilots made the call that they didn't have time to abort the second landing and try a third approach , which would gave given the airport time to spray down the runway with fire retardant foam and other stuff that makes a belly landing safer - they wrnt for the belly landing but the only braking they had left on the aircraft were the wing flaps - not enough to slow them down before plowing into the ILM array at the end of the runway - the ILM is essential navigational equipment that literally doesn't work unless placed at the end of a runway. I'm seeing a lot of X posts saying that the 'wall at the end of the runway' (the ILM) was the problem... but there is literally no other way the runway could have been built. An incredibly tragic misfortune, and it's hard to see whst could have been done differently
