Oh, Jin (of BTS)!!! I missed the live but will watch it. And didn't go to the concert in the end. That's okay - on YouTube, there is a good FanCam of Day 1, London and a not as good one of Day 2. I bet todays show is on there soon. I hope that TXT has had sufficient time for promotion before all the Cortis stuff takes over. I have limited bandwidth (and limited money) so will stick with BTS and TXT for $$$ outlay. I'm a bit sad realizing that Jin's last show tomorrow will be the last concert/performance by any one or more BTS members. It hasn't happened yet, but it feels like a drought coming. Streaming kings (and remember to vote for Jimim on the stinking MTV video award site -)

I'm trying to decide whether to go to the cinema concert or not. If somebody is going to the first one that starts in about 45 minutes, post about whether or not any of the other members show up for it. That will be my determining factor, since I've already spent as so have so many of you so much money on live streams, etc. of this very show. Of course, some have spent more because they went to the actual show, or were lucky enough to get a ticket and then spend a fortune.

This is the Rolling Stone article Namjoon just posted about on Instagram- https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/bts-members-best-solo-songs-1235390475/

She is SO tiny! She makes all of the look really tall. I'm still so happy for them that they got to go to this, and mostly under the radar.

How does something like this get organized? I know how much the members are touched when they have a surprise like this from ARMY. Like 2019 at Wembley. Must be something the UK ARMY has mastered,

Incredible review for Jin by Rolling Stone UK (I have a link to the article after the twitter post - https://www.rollingstone.co.uk/music/live-reviews/jin-live-in-london-review-52642/ And, behind the scenes of the ad for Dongwon tuna. (Jin is everywhere -)

Waiting for a report from @Whoopiewoop on these. What had ARMY prepared for him? And the five out for dinner (where is JK?). Even Yoongi smiling and relaxed. (Thank you,, Jimin and Hobi -)I think being in SoCal, in an upscale community and going to an upscale very expensive restaurant is why they can go, un-mobbed. Lots of very famous people live in that area and that means that most are treated like "normal folk". I love that for them.. And the Hobi/Soobin call. I wonder who arranged that? 16 hr time difference, so this evening inn CA is early afternoon for Soobin, who is so respectful and sweet to tell Hobi that he's the best thing to come out of Gwangju (which is true -) I thought I was a way old ARMY - but she's probably not much older than me, but looks it - this is a funny post and she has a bunch. Now I'm following her soo I can get her reaction to the theatre Amsterdam shoow. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMR6Fj_uI2C/?igsh=NjZiM2M3MzIxNA%3D%3D

Waiting for Jin to do a Live of him eating his dinner....

I think it's HB should wise up and sell this worldwide. He is gorgeous, as are the photos. And on the business front (and Bang returns to Korea to face the "witch hunt" proceedings: (click on it as the second half of the posting is great -)

Doesn't royal mail have any responsibility for destroying something? I know you package your stuff really really well so they must've tried hard to smash it. I know at this moment you are already at O2 and ready to go and I am so jealous of you Silvia. The energy is so contagious, I can feel it here!💜

Day of nothing and the a flood of great new stuff. Including Yoongi!!!! I hope Namjoon isn't sad. He did get to hug Mickey Mouse and probably didn't have to wait in line. It'll be so nice when Jin gets there, too.

OK - as we suspected.

Haven't you? Is Andrea's sister there? She is late to BTS but served as a great person to take pictures of @Whoopiewoop in front of all Festa displays. Hey, I'd go too with that price. It really isn't all that much, especially last minute. I have been encouraging @rockstaryuzuto go the second night. There seem to be lots of tickets one can get, depending on how much you're willing to spend. And @Old Cat Lady is making sound like her youth is gone. No no. Even I am in my youth when it comes to these people. I didn't count on being self supporting on a limited old lady income and could have planned better, or married better (actually, I had - Chris' dad is from money and I am sorry sometimes I left him. At least Chris will benefit. And I'd rather do the occasional happy splurge than save it all (what all?) for some rainy day we'll never b=get in AZ. Not really a big fan of Katseye but am impressed with how far they've come in a short time. Hard work and lots of practice. They've had Songdeuk training them. And TXT started working out, I think, in response to Tae and JK. https://www.instagram.com/p/DM9UAJdP1bd/?img_index=1 He wants to go home?

I am speechless with all the instagram and twitter posts. Love candid shots of the guys. Michel Jackson tribute? There is no way they were in in Ireland together in the past three plus years. If they recorded something, it was long before Oct 2022. I don't know if this article will come through - but the Live album has made a record and matched Taylor Swift, so there's that.... https://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2025/08/03/bts-matches-taylor-swift-in-a-rare-chart-feat/ TXT is doing SO well: https://www.soompi.com/article/1764302wpp/txt-breaks-billboard-200-record-as-the-star-chapter-together-debuts-at-no-3 "Billboard has published its World Albums chart for the week ending on August 2! BTS’s first live album “PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LIVE” topped the World Albums chart this week, in addition to debuting in the top 10 of the Billboard 200. BTS’s 2022 anthology album “Proof” also stayed strong at No. 8 in its 163rd week on the World Albums chart, followed by Jin’s solo mini album “Echo” at No. 14 (in its 10th week on the chart) and Jimin’s solo album “MUSE” at No. 15 (in its 53rd week)." I am so anxious for a live from the six in California - but at least we are getting something (no Yoongi.....)

Why is this news just coming out now? When would they have recorded it and where? And, wow, I wish people would stop calling them a "boy" band. (Good to see that Kai's sister is still active -) I don't know why this hadn't shown up before.....
