I suspect Jin won't be releasing an album but a single, Or two. We know Hobi has a show, Lollapalooza, in July, but as the CEO says, they will be coordinating with each other to make plans and discuss the direction. Think how fast, really, Jin and Hobi were performing after discharge. The other 5 are going to be looking forward to ARMY and performing again. And, duh, of course the profits were down...

I seriously believe that all the members have donated - and speaking of Tae, I don't remember having watching this before. (and watched half of the In my Fridge episode, at least through the exploration of his 'fridge and not surprised that iit would be very tidy. I'm not wild about the show and it seems it was another chef show that was his favorite. But I'll watch the rest anyway -)

I think it's an intentional thing that they aren't making this available for a replay. Seems like a money-grab by Weverse making us purchase the download. Maybe they'll release a replay in time as they did the Hobi Sweet Dreams live - The "what's in your refrigerator" with Hobi is evidently available to stream now - https://bsky.app/profile/dailyseokjin.bsky.social/post/3llmopmo7zs22

The only reason I go to X (twitter) is to get BTS posts - two from this morning. I got a notification of the RM "Live" that couldn't possibly have actually been live but was asleep so missed it and it doesn't seem to available to replay. Kind of annoying.

I think he's had "work" done on that face - there's something unreal about it.

He looks extraordinarily pale - and young. Has to be a recent post?

Bigger debut than Hobi? I think I don't know how Spotify totals anything. Maybe it's new followers, or a new "artist", as this is his first solo effort.

I don't know if we'll hear about all 7 of them donating to this cause, but I'd put money on them all donating an equal amount. (and this pic of RM is insane!) The fires are so sad. They really do not have a lot of big forest fires in Korea and so much has been lost.

I am not at all surprised that the TXT concert was fantastic. When I saw them, I was blown away with how complete and confident they are. I agree that they do not need back up ndancers - but wonder, still, whose choice that is. They, when I saw them, were 100% perfect - and the show was a good length. Beomgyu shows in his new song/mv something I think all five felt. When Soobin left for his "rest", I bet they were afraid he would't be back and also started feeling the weight of the years of efforts. I am so glad you got to see them and hope your ears are okay(decibel reducing ear plugs a must!)

Wow!!!! (and now there is a complaint against, I think a Mexican ARMY, who went beyond a high five and purposefully touched his chest, which I wouldl be more than happy to do, but would never.

Ador had announced up front that they were going to go to HongKong to support nj, as I believe this was the last official item on their schedule (which is why they are now saytng they are on hiatus). So Ador covered their costs for this and got slapped in the face. Anything from now on will require other financing, but I hope the courts put them in their place before then. Even their profits for their basically counterfeit merch should be handed over to Ador.

I don't think we really know if they are just idiots, poorly advised or have really bad lawyers. Ador and HYBE bent over backwards to continue to support these ungrateful girls and have kept up their half of the contract. nj has not and have gone beyond idiocy by not at least following court instructions for in the interim. It definitely seems that they are pushing for the court fight and are stupidly unaware that this will cost them their careers and lots of $$$$. There is so much more than just them and their selfish interests in this. The whole trainee/debut/contract system has been set up and successful for decades. You can't walk away from your contract. No one can. The big entertainment companies would do well to have psychological assessments done as part of any audition process henceforth. And Hobi was likely given injected antibiotics and some vitamin concoction (like B-12, etc.) as well as IV fluids. At least he isn't performing for more than a day.....

I had two thoughts on this - the first is how amazingly HYBE stepped in to make it "right" for JK (Is there another major company that would do that?) and the second was mhj. But that's probably not it. Just happy he didn't lose any, in the end. But f-ing scary.

Just reading "comeback" and the fact that son sungdeuk is involved is enough to keep me alive on a bad day, any bad day. We know now. And I think there had to be a tiny doubt that it would happen. Happy happy happy. (and also happy nj LOST!!!!) Late, if at all for the watch party aas I got to Chris' last night and am not quite actually here,, brainwise, and am dealing with daughter-in-law, who is ADHD and self centered at best -

Having seen lots of videos from Hobi's US concerts, it seems to be that soundcheck is actually very large. Lots of ARMY. For some reason, I thought it was a smaller group. And what level gets a fan to be in a line and actually get a hand touch by Hobi coming by? That must be the "meet and greet" sort of level? I feel sort of cheated that being one of only 613 people at an event didn't get me even five feet from Hobi. But it was free....
