The Autographed Poster event winners for Golden were just announced... I missed again. 🙃

That post by Tae makes me nervous. Him, Suga, and JK have all been sick a lot since they first caught COVID, and each time seems to be worse than the last. I hope they all take every precaution for their health from here on out.

Jungkook's merch has been on sale for exactly an hour, and the only thing left is the accessory tray! Evrrything else is sold out. I missed the start of the sale, but I'll bet everything evaporated in the first couple minutes. Just like when the artist-made goods came out. Rats. I actually need a new winter coat & had been considering the bomber jacket... oh well. Filming another MV? I wonder if he's going to release more music?

I don't know about 'retro', but to get lots of radio play on mainstream stations here, you pretty much have to sound similar to what's come before The 90's, too.

Why's he doing it better than Taemin, when it's Taemin's song, though? I just love the way he moves. That's exciting. I applied for the video call fan sign, but no luck.

Has this been posted? JK's Golden merch:

When he sings like this, he's just about the cutest thing ever

I checked it out. Looks like they sell (or rather, re-sell) a combo of stuff bought from Weverse and things they create themselves and say is 'official merch'

Because the Thread app is a trap in and off itself. You literally can't sign up without giving them access to everything

I was until I noticed that Taylor was there. But JK beat the Beatles!

We need to get that to #1 somehow

Thanks, will do

Is anyone else having problems with the MNET voting app? It keeps kicking me out mid-vote

The smoking just makes me worry for their health. Yes they're grown men free to make their choices but I want them to be with us and singing for decades from now... would love it if they'd stop courting lung cancer

I've been watching that unfold and, yeah, it's a whole mess. Today my tl is full of "that's why we shouldn't act too friendly to the artists Tannies collab with" takes and I'm not sure if that's the right answer either. It's sufficient to calmly call out the artist in question and let the chips fall where they may, without making it into a whole knock-down, drag-out fight. If the person being called out responds by doubling down, block him and move on. Regardless of his own beliefs, JK for obvious reasons probably can't say anything about world geopolitics right now, not when he's about to enlist. Soldiers generally aren't allowed to express personal politics while serving.

So basically Hobi is now middle management

I don't know, I feel a bit sorry for the SK military with all of this - they're getting way more than they bargained for. Watch them decide after all this that enlisting idols is too much trouble and thst they'll stop doing it

Not a single lick of sense amongst any one of those airport fans...but none of them got too close to JK this time thank goodness

Not surprised, no, but it really does show the Grammys up for what they are - a parochial local awards show that gets too much attention

So, no Scammy noms, eh?

Hobi's so good at staying focused on task.

You ever notice that it's always the same 'fans' chasing them and causing a disturbance? So tiresome!

Man, who cares about the Scammys any more. It's more fun watching our men rack up promotions and endorsements, brand sponsorships and streaming records and surprise concerts with record crowds. But, Jin and Hobi, don't do too well in the military, they won't want to give you back! 😅

YG seems horribly shady. They basically abandoned G-Dragon when the allegations about him came out. Besides that, though, a quick Google search turns up the info that Han Seo Hee, former YG trainee, is not the same person as Han So-Hee, Jungkook's love interest in Seven. So it's an interesting scandal, but thankfully not one that touches our guys

Got a little busy with other things this week, but, here we are at Cup of China ! It's been a hot minute since China hosted their GP, good to see them back! Now, the big faves I have going in to this are Piper & Paul. And I guess Jason Brown is starting his GP run? Other than that, I'm a bit out of the loop, will have to review and catch up tomorrow.
