That;s what I was thnking, They'll start in Seoul, of course. Maybe Japan. But I bet they do LA early and then maybe (hey, Europe?) So Amercia, maybe Australia.

It wl be so good to see him. he won't want to take center stage, though. JK in Paris? Huh. Interesting copy we all need to absorb - I don't know how this will impact the schedule for the tour but I don't like it. BTS 2026 Reunion Tour Info & Planning Pikle Cortez ·spodtrSeno9922hm10uhtlla319m5chat39ul12ftugh01f018h1060a9hfh · At work I was informed that FIFA is going to have control of the World Cup Stadiums 30 days before the tournament starts. This means around May 12th. Just something to think about. If BTS announces the tour schedule and you’re wondering why they’re not utilizing these stadiums in late May-June-July, this is why. Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City, USA) AT&T Stadium (Arlington, USA) BC Place Stadium (Vancouver, Canada) BMO Field (Toronto, Canada) Estadio Azteca (Mexico City, Mexico) Estadio Akron (Guadalajara, Mexico) Estadio BBVA (Monterrey, Mexico) Gillette Stadium (Foxborough, USA) Hard Rock Stadium (Miami, USA) Levi's Stadium (Santa Clara, USA) Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia, USA) Lumen Field (Seattle, USA) Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta, USA) MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, USA) NRG Stadium (Houston, USA) Sofi Stadium (Los Angeles, USA)

So much fun! And I find it not surprising, but really comforting that their relationship seems to have not particularly changed much at all during their time in the service. Of course they were in the same unit but not working with each other. And it's as much as we've seen of Jimin since he's been out. I know it's a show, but I don't believe their friendship is even remotely faked. Cannot wait.

I should think that if he's traveling for product promotion, he won't be bringing his team with him and won't be performing. JK, Tae, Hobi, Jimin, Jin and Namjoon have all done product/brand promotions in the past number of months with no performance. I would think if Dubai had an event they are promoting, we'd be seeing something about it (like JK and his performance there). On the other hand, he may well be brought in to to promote something we haven't hear about (like just promoting Dubai) and do a performance, but not a concert.

And it's like there is another or a new award show every few weeks. I'm glad the members received their first (ten) big awards early on before the number of shows multiplied. And, while I am sad for RM (and Yoongi), I'm glad that he realizes now how, ultimately, unimportant a Grammy is. (Still hope they get one, though - )

JK testing other covers - but, yes, I can't think of a single genre they haven't done at this point, including the solo work. Maybe SKA, but that requires a band. By being able to explore and develop their individual "colors", it almost adds a tricky element to developing group songs that will satisfy them. Of course, all of them are not wild about all their songs, I would think, but being back together will require acknowledgement of 7 different directions. They've been able to incorporate a few genres all in a single song before but it's going to be trickier. I suspect that, when on tour, individual members will have their spotlight and, no idea about this, but suspect the majority of the writing and composing is still in the hands of the few. I bet just trying to honor each other whille producing their own "new" sound has to have been one of the biggest hurdles. I hope PDogg is with them now all the time. SloRabbit seems to be spending time with other groups. And nj. How can Hybe possibly reconstitute them as a single group after their behavior? The two youngest have certainly expressed more of an interest in continuing their careers, but too bad. I hope HYBE is exploring all legal avenues to disband them altogether, prevent them from using the name and collecting royalties. Ador must have trainees and it's possible that the two youngest could be added to them. Such drama. K-press just looks for drama. Once oout guys are back, alot of this will take a way back seat. Jimin topping JK, Tae and even Jin surpirses me as he hasn't been all that active with "brands" lately. https://www.koreaboo.com/news/bts-jimin-jungkook-gdragon-boy-group-individual-brand-rankings/

I think he did the very best thing by trying to clear the air on the whole NJ thing and get focused back to them, not that I had lost focus. I still think. It's likely that Hebe will cut their losses as much as they can by minimizing whatever they have to do with the girls. It'd still be best to split them up. Namjoon is so smart and so perceptive and so helpful. Could we love him any more?

Great idea - at least split them up. I don't know what its left in their contract but itf there is a way to sell them to some other agencies, I'd go that way. Best way to avoid in-house drama and additional pain to Illit and LeSerrafim. I understand how the young girls/ladies - especially having had a taste of fame - would want to perform again. Of course they do. But they have done nothing that means they should be able toi stay as a unit. And JK? My God!!! What is the matter with these people? He could get a touch entry for his vehicle and his home. Or one of those special eye detectors. Having 24 hr CCTV clearly isn't enough. And he could easily add his besties and members to the "key" code. They must have that technology in SK. It wouldn't work when he's out of the country, but if and when he's on actual company business, there will be Mr Lee or "a" Mr Lee there to protect him. I wonder what his thought process is - that it can't happen again? I do hope someone in the group and/or at the company has diavowed him of this naive thinking.

I think it's possible that the two will return but it won't be under the NJ label. Ador but not nj. We don't know what the terms are that they're going back under, but as much as it is a question of money, I think that these young ladies would very very much like to be able to be in the business. Maybe? Although could be a question of money too I expect Hybe will keep close tabs on them.

I saw a post a few days ago, maybe even with a picture, which, of course is totally verboten, of Tae. In Hawaii with his squad-probably the last chance you'll have to spend any time with those guys the next few months is sure to be filled with practice practice practice. but what schedule in Japan for JK? He had a schedule?

Models-

Hey, if the top Spotify BTS listener had early access to tickets, I'd be gold. Who would put this out there? Spotify doesn't need it. BTS doesn't need it. Loved Jin last night!!! There had been one comment from an ARMY saying they thought JK was doing backup when Jin was on the piano. Moon, maybe? There was a quiet backtrack but I wouldn't have sworn it was JK. And how do any of the electronics work, like the mics, when dripping wet?

Delusional.

I"ve been concentrating on Jin and Hobi but will witch to TXT. (also I meant "netizens......) Cute Instagram from season one (on Jeju) https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQl5avgD0aS/?igsh=NjZiM2M3MzIxNA%3D%3D

Family. Hyungs. I just read something where some medicines are upset because there's not enough Jimin in it. And how would they know what's in it when it hasn't even come out yet and I suspect it's equal amounts of each. I think it's gonna be fun. I love that they love each other like brothers like friends like family. Speaking of brothers, my brother left here at 6 AM (thank you very much for waking me up way early) There's a real possibility that flight schedules are going to be reduced by tomorrow because of the stupid shutdown. And he really had to get back. I'm OK with him gone. It was quite an experience. Give me Jimin, give me JK give me any of them. I would rather spend four days with them.

"realistic friendship" I believe that this is an actual friendship..... looks like fun. And Namjoon has such an impressive family. (His sister's cafe? - I went to Jimin's dad's cafe in Busan but, other than the Hybe building, did not BTS tour-y stuff. And that's in a dozen trips. I really should make that an itinerary one of these times.)

So, JK doesn't just "game". He also does a little re-recording. But mostly fills his days looking for his favorite new snacks and installing new upscale equipment. So so busy. he has likely way passed any online gaming time that Jin used to own. I wonder where Bam is. If any of you are watching his lives when he happens to notice ARMY comments, ask him. I suspect that Bam has it a permanent camp with lots of other big dogs..

Counting on the science dorks among us to know these things. And yes to Hobi - I think it was his first pr second live after he was discharged that he started the Live by putting on a facial mask - because he felt it was part of his job now that he was back to being and "idol". (Also, I can't sing well, but I bet if I recorded something with him,I, too, could make the charts. Just sayin")

Still haven't watched the Hobi live - my younger brother is here and making me crazy. I actually threw a remote. Anyway- this is sweet

Good for him, but not his best look. He looks kind of tired. So, going from 100 messages to three. Must be between concerts. I was thinking about Jin and how excited he is to perform and sing for ARMY. He was the one just slightly equal to Jimin in lack of confidence when they were trainees and early on, Both thought they'd never make it. Both doubted that they could even sing. Wow. And they all SO need to perform. (thinking also of Yoongi and his final AgustD performance when he was crying because he knew it would be so long, if ever, that he would be able to perform again.) Need extra good thoughts for tomorrow - an appt with a new type of doctor (will explain after). Just trying to stay as calm as possible and pray for the best.

If Jin's brother did not know about the pj's (which, actually, would surprise me) before now, I suspect he has received a full family set of them, including for the little boys, by now. Maybe good day AND bad day. Really, his brother should only get bad day for not knowing.

It seems that they already have a second job lined up as officiating weddings. also, I took from Jimin's comment that they had finished recording one of the songs, not the entire album and that it still needed to be mixed. I'm sure they have lots more recording to do for the album and they have to do all the Choreo now too. Yoongi and Namjoon never stop working.. it's like breathing for them.-and I think that's why we see outrageous. Long lives from JK because he's not one who just spends his time in the studio writing all the time. A six hour live that doesn't actually involve watching him sleep for several hours of. It is quite something. And what was the temperature in Seoul when that person took off her shark outfit? If JK likes something I had on, I would consider letting him have it, but I do not believe I would remove all of my clothes outside in the cold.

So, being the one sleeping through the second concert (and SO excited to see it next weekend!!!),, I just knew I'd waked up to a hundred messages....wow. Not surprised that Yoongi never shows for these concerts but I hope he and Namjoon were watching. I think they are damn close to have their next single ready to go (meaning in a month.....or so) The one thing I can add is Jin's brother's post - he is so proud of his brother (and, FYI - he has a great singing voice, too...)

It's almost stunning how the speed of recovery is coming - but it takes work. I should go for another walk today. But just don't feel like it. Still asking for prayers and manifestations for fast healing!!!!

FYI: trying a walk around the block. THis is monumental. Should be hoe for the watch party if we are doing that but I bet all of you are quite watched-out.
