It gets better: now they're asking Korean corporations to provide 'volunteers' to run the thing. Wtf even is that administration

He's wearing a bit more than just eyeliner but yes.

And while we're on that point, announcing his marriage on the same day he appears on the cover of a magazine draped in red flowers and wearing eye makeup is one hell of a flex. It's like him saying "my image is whatever I want it to be, I'm secure in my masculinity, get over it."

I changed my mind on it a few times, based on this or that observed behaviour, and kept wondering if the problem was my western cultural lens of what constitutes so-called 'straight' or 'gay' behaviour here, vs Japanese standards of same... but in the end it hardly matters, he's a wonderful artist and skater either way.

More like 'Mrs. Hanyu, your husband is doing it again! Come collect him before he kills us all with his gorgeous lines!'🤣

Literally one of my reactions to the news (I had a few different ones). My chief reaction, though, remains surprise that Yuzu has been able to keep the news secret until now. Like, we all knew he was a ninja, but THAT much of a one? Wow!

Exactly. As long as we're not crossing a line into being invasive, and are simply expressing our appreciation for his many attributes, without any other expectation attached , it's fine. There are many ways to admire and remain respectful enough.

He seems to like it when we do! We'll just have to drool respectfully from a distance.

Now that does surprise me.

From one of the translators of Beyond The Story:

He looks so good in red!

SK MoD already pushed back on this one. Said it was up to the Ministry of Culture to negotiate with BigHit for BTS, and that if such went forward, they would then cooperate and support by allowing Jin and Jhope appropriate leave to do a show. In other words, ain't gonna happen unless the whole team agrees. Which they won't, I suspect. This whole Scout Jamboree appears to be turning into yet another Yoon gov't screw-up, and so of course they're whining for BTS to save them - just like with the bid for World Expo in Busan. Bangtan is well out of it.

I bet he filmed his MVs there. And welcome home! I'm amazed you're still in one piece after all that. I was dying to give Yoongi a hug from the minute he started sobbing yesterday. The whole live chat on the online stream were sending virtual hugs and tears. And what did you think of Joon's new song?

And Tae's here to make clowns of us all: https://weverse.io/bts/notice/14760?hl=en Argh. My wallet just can't catch a break with these guys!

Depends on what you think RM means by "not enlisting any time soon". As we've seen, 'soon' is a very relative and flexible concept for them... I'm still expecting RM to go next, but as far we know, Jimin's the only one with no upcoming projects, so it's logical to think he'll be going in as well.

I was under the impression that Tae was still working on it...

I just don't think he'll have it ready by September, and nothing's been announced yet. But if he releases in late Nov/early Dec, he can catch the Christmas sales rush

Welp, we can stop wondering "who next?" ...they didn't even give us a day to recover after that tearfest at the show. Good grief! https://weverse.io/bts/notice/14749?hl=en

He said "Next time all 7 of us are Seoul, we'll be on stage together"... without specifying when exactly that would be

I figure he'll be wrecking us all December. I'm guessing he'll release his album right around then

The only reason it looks like I can function on no sleep is because I'm free to sleep at unconventional times.

Yoongi was just live (a short one, I only caught the end) and he was still all teary and crying, guys..

Blame Yoongi! I didn't want to be reminded either

Me. I screamed. And then he acted so nonchalant about it, the brat. I seriously thought he'd never show us. But watching him sob his way through that last half hour... it was just a gut-wrenching as watching Yuzu try to power through his freeskate at CoR '18 on an ankle that was hanging by a thread...maybe worse

It's the first night they did it here. I wonder if Jin got it started... he did have an ARMY bomb
