That's a relief. Things in France are getting scary.

Just sharing something from the Calgary BTS ARMY group. The raffle is open to all ARMY, but bear in mind you'll have to cover the shipping from Calgary to your house if you win:

The main Yuzu thread has been having a whole meltdown over this for the past several days...it's total carnage, satellites (including me!) knocked dead all.over the place. 🤣

Just an aside here - Yuzu spends a minor fortune on giving flowers, and I approve wholeheartedly. Here's hoping the habit catches on around the world.

My mom was saying that some of the fashion houses had to cancel their shows this week b/c of the riots in France... hope Tae stays safe. Also, he looks fantastic, but almost like someone else. That blond is really extreme.

I think so. He's just trying to force people to buy the silly blue check and become a verified account for $8 a month. He can't bring himself to admit that his business model for Twitter is broken, I think.

Apparently Twitter is currently broken. Everyone's getting these error messages. Another Musk 'feature', no doubt. You've never come across it before? It's the OST for the 2019 (2018?)BTS World mobile game. The whole album's on Spotify and well worth a listen, especially the instrumental theme for each of the characters the guys play in the game. Yoongi's theme is especially fun - a bouncy, confident piano piece.

Yes. I'm taking it as a warning

Honestly, I think this is the whole point. They're trying to disrupt direct-to-consumer sales by artists, because those sales cut out the record labels, agents, distributors etc, who are all taking profit before the artists gets any. Frankly, Billboard supports a dinosaur way of doing business for the industry and maybe it needs to die out.

It's not even being offered for sale on Weverse Global - it's a USA-only item. Also, Billboard needs to get over it and just accept BTS as a permanent dweller on their charts. At this point, their stupid rule changes are starting to screw over all the other artists on the chart as well.

I saw. It surprised me how different they looked. Like, the colour and cut together changed their faces a A LOT. I hardly even recognized Kai, and Yeonjun now looks like Sunoo of ENHYPEN's doppelganger. I wouldn't go so far as to say it doesn't suit them or that they can't pull it off, b/c those guys are so handsome they can pull off anything looks-wise, but I am definitely wondering what the stylists were thinking to come up with that.

He's trying so hard to shed his cute baby bunny image...it's adorable😍

I'm convinced he reads and responds to my comments, which are written in English. You are not any more delusional than me.

The photographer who took them is no slouch, either. Someone posted their link earlier, but here it is again: https://takayphotography.com/ Well worth the time to scroll through their portfolio. An exceptional talent in their own right.

And ya gotta admire that about him. For many reasons, him staying put there is very beneficial to the whole region. But I agree with you that it's good for him to know he has TCC as a resource. Like a handy reference book.

This has been my suspicion all along - that Suga has the 7 over his heart. We'll see it someday. He can't keep his shirt buttoned closed forever. 😇

Weverse is all crashy-crashy on me. I can't connect to JK's live. But I gather he announced his album?

Junhwan was with Brian for even longer than Yuzu was, so no wonder Brian was feeling it. It's nice that Yuzu's visit could help chase away the melancholy. I hope Yuzu feels that way! I know Brian and Tracy have both said publicly that Yuzu's welcome back any time. Realistically, though, I think Yuzu has come home to Japan for good, at least as a skater. It's hard to imagine that he'll ever live abroad for the sake of training again.

This aspect of Yuzu reminds me very much of Marie Kondo's philosophy of things, of showing them gratitude for supporting our lives, and so on. He's like this with his skates &equipment, too.

Jun's latest ad. I'm not even clear on what the product is, but he looks smashing in hot pink!

*tiny little half-hearted voice* No.... don't.... stop.....don't.... Who am I kidding? This is great! Keep going, Yuzu! *** Joking apart, does anyone else notice that his voice in interviews sounds deeper and more relaxed these days? It sounds like he's gaining confidence in himself and this path he choose of being a professional. It's nice to see

1:23. The layback Ina Bauer position as shot from knee level looking up... 😲😲😲😲 he is SO flexible! Wow.

I could visualize him doing that. Almost like a proper ballet.

And while we're on this topic, why the heck is Under Armor still sleeping on their golden marketing opportunity with Yuzu? Must be THE most oblivious company to ever exist...

You think that'll stop anyone? I for one could easily wear the logo polo to work and no one would even realize it was a men's shirt. The same for the white sweater. Plus I think Gucci does female versions of a lot of that stuff - certainly the belts and probably the shoes. Really, it's not a problem. Just thinking for a second of other Japanese luxury brands Yuzu could represent that women would buy in droves, though, and what comes to mind is Mikimoto pearls. Or, if being a household name (rather than luxury) is his thing, Uniqlo. There are so many possibilities. But I'm waiting for the day he partners with an audio equipment company to promote their headphones or earbuds....😅
