I'm so proud of him.

Bangtan in the wilds of Toronto. Wish I had time to go check it out!

No, I think if the comment is reported, it gets deleted from the comment stream during the live, but they don't pre-screen comments. It's mostly I-ARMY who do the reporting, as far as I can tell... which is probably why the creepy comments are now showing up in (according to what I read on Twitter) badly machine-translated Korean

The whole 'missing the members' part of the live turned into a cry-fest in the comments. Every time someone in the comments said "I miss ____ - hyung", JK would get a wistful expression and start talking about them... 😭 All in all, it was a very fun live, but there were some really out-of-bounds comments being made. Apparently it was in the Korean comments, too! People asking for his address and him to take off his shirt. He was slapping them down but really, geez.

JK actually said Yoongi was pouty about it - and imitated Yoongi's pouty voice complaining. It was pretty cute.

I'm buying from Weverse for the fansign and poster events. Plus I actually need a phone grip (which is the bonus item). Will find some other way to contribute to the charts, as I'm pretty sure Canadian purchases don't get tabulated into the Hot 100 counts

11 tracks? That makes his the biggest of the solo releases so far. RM, Hobi, and Yoongi each released 10-track albums, Tae's and Jimin'sf were 6 tracks, and so far Jin has only done The Astronaut

This is so cute.

You could use it as a punching bag or throw it across the room, though, every time that bloody announcement comes out

Oh my God, I laughed til I cried... check it out:

Do a deep dive on jazz lyrics of the 20s and you'll realize differently...they were talking about sex even back then, only more discreetly. Speaking of, has anyone checked out the 'clean' version of 3D? They blanked everything out EXCEPT for 'champagne confetti' and 'ABG'. 😅

I just tried looking up the origin of the phrase and no one seems to really know. But it's supposed to mean 'the facts of nature' or the 'the facts of life' in reference to sex. Cole Porter wrote a very fun jazz song using the reference. I guess it comes from the fact that everyone knows what birds do in spring- i.e. mate and have babies - while bees are busily making sure plants can have babies? It's definitely more of a sex fertility image than a sexy one.

I think, given the context, he was talking about the birds and the bees and the champagne confetti and so on. He probably does know everything he needs to know about that. 🤭

"the other kookies"

I'm really loving Yuzu's 'dancing for ANA promotions' era. It's so joyful, and makes me want to fly ANA, so it works as it's supposed to.

This is my issue with it too. I find JK's lyrics are sexy, hot, respectful, even a bit poetic, and still get the underlying, more explicit idea across perfectly well, while Jack's are like accidentally stepping in something unpleasant. The bit about multiple girls could be overlooked, if he didn't also talk about doing magic mushrooms, having ABGs run after him, and having an explicit video of his love object on his phone . Like, tone it down a little... leave the drugs and the offensive terms out, at least...

Which is great, just, he also needs to watch his step. It's so easy to fall into the wrong path.

Yeah it would have been sooo dreamy

I really like this interpretation of the 3D video. It makes the ickiness of Jack's verses make sense:

OMG... I WANT IT!

Gotta agree. He's giving strong Vanilla Ice vibes, honestly. I can't help but think of JK saying in interview that if it weren't for the rest of BTS being a good influence on him because they're good people, he'd be a bad guy because he's such a sponge and absorbs the influences around him.... I feel like this is what he meant. It's not even that Jack's verses are all that out of line for American hip-hop. It's just that it's icky by contrast to JK.

Yes to the first, no to the second, is my guess And regardless of the intent of the term ABG, it seems pretty clear to me that a white man should not use it in a song he does with an Asian artist.... on the other hand, neither RM nor Suga are strangers to controversy. If they listened to the song and didn't ask for any wording changes then I assume they don't see an issue. I still don't like it.

I particularly like the line "and if you'll let me"... consent is always hot! Trust JK to be respectful even in that kind of a song Tbh, I wouldn't be surprised if the inspiration for this song came from not being able to see ARMY during the pandemic, though.

Way past time

It's so funny to me that JK has a bunch of younger fanboys at work, after seeing him be the baby fanboy for all his hyungs for so long. It's cuter than cute
