Why not? He's already a model. He can sing. He can dance. And he's gorgeous.

So, this is interesting - https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/music/articles/met-bts-met-now-understand-120000551.html

NPR article - they never doubted them. https://www.npr.org/2026/03/30/nx-s1-5766451/bts-arirang-pop-charts

Agree that, in its entirety, I really love it - hard to pick a favorite. Swim, Body to Body, Merry Go Round, They don't know 'bout us, Hooligan (Jack in the Box vibes), Like Animals, 2.0... The only one I can say I don't really like much is Aliens. I think that if Normal is going to be a MV, they'll need the "clean" version and not the explicit. It oddly unnerves me to hear Jin singing "shit".

Me, too - haven't settled on favorites yet. Swim is very easy to listen to over and over, Into the Sun, Body to Body. I have to listen about a dozen more times to nail down favorites though already made a super long playlist on Spotify...

So cute - and I always get nervous watching true nature stuff. Beautiful cat but i was rooting for the little rodents.

Not a surprise -

I cannot figure out how to post anything from anywhere to the Signal chat so this is here

Thank you...

They will appeal. MHJ has no case at all. They broke contracts. That's a very big no-no in Korea. I don't know who she's got on the inside or what kind of money she's handing people but she's just one of those people that I wish we get hit by a bus.

Who put out the offer I took to watch the replay of the TXT concert this Saturday? If Yve I have the email and password, I think from a previous replay....

POsting here because it's kind of long. I have been trying to get NOL to recognize my actual email for about 10 months and they refuse to change it - now, with this, I could - but notice the last sentence: if I delete the not actual email (that I created for one thing a year ago), I can't attach my Weverse membership to it. I do have both US and Global memberships so I suppose I could go with my global account. They are just making me crazy and not letting me get tickets for any concertof note (most recently TXT when there were seats available in Seoul...) Hello customer. Thank you for using NOL World. The email address is used as a NOL World ID, and it is difficult to change it arbitrarily. It is a method of rejoining the existing account with the email you want after leaving the existing account. Your [ [email protected] ] is a successfully real-name authenticated account. If you wish to use an Email ID or another ID, after withdrawing the authenticated ID account, the authentication information will be automatically deleted, and you can authenticate again with a new account. However, if there are any pre-booking authentication records or upcoming performances associated with that account, these authentication and reservation details cannot be transferred to a new account. If you already have pre-booking authentication records for this account, please note that you must complete both pre-booking authentication and viewing before withdrawing. Fan club authentication is only possible once, so if you have withdrawn an already authenticated account, you cannot re-authenticate for the fan club with a new account." Rigid and unwilling to accomodate me but I now have to figure out how to go back and forth between my actual yahoo account and the one I used to enter one thing more than a year ago. Arghhhhh. And trying to enter anything for the March 21st concert is a headache - If I buy Arirang on the global shop (now available again), I have to pay something like $35 for shipping, though the cost of the CD is much less than the US one (damn tariffs) so locked out of that. I will try the NOL Interpark ticketing that opens, I think, the 23rd? I wasn't even going to consider the concert as I'll be back in Korea at the beginning of April but can't resist... Anyway, off to an eye appt.......

They are completely sold out of any CDs for Arirang. You can get vinyl that they've restocked but it doesn't even look like you can pre-order a cd....

Thanks for the offer. I believe I have the Signal app figured out. I didn't until I actually used it. Yes - it flows better. (though the pace seems FAST at times) I kind of like slow scrolling on this app to see X and other posts that take some time. This screen is also much bigger than my tiny phone - but then I can look up ARMY or other posts that get referenced on the Signal thread. I know I am particularly going to like having Signal when we FINALLy get to that concert (at 4 am my time!) or Lives, because if I'm on Weverse on my computer, I can't do anything on the Planet at the same time - like when I've watched concerts on Weverse, there really is no way to do anything else interactively on my computer but my phone is still free. Just give me a little time to jump on Signal more frequently. I have way too many medical appointments so am not regular anywhere. How are you doing, by the way? Today is my best day since surgery but pain is still exhausting. And I really look like I've been sliced and diced.

I was going to post this - it is an honor for Jun to be the face and voice of his country, especially considering their hugh regard for some other sports (speedskating, archery - not a winter sport)

So you ordered through Weverse and not a retail outlet? I know that doesn't count towards some chart although I forget which one. I'll check that out. Also realizing that I need to put the notifications on.if I'm ever going to be part signal (that I haven't used). What do you do? Have notifications on when you are awake-time and then turn them off every day for bedtime? I wonder if I can get silent notifications - I feeel like I'm missing out on all the best stuff. And yesterday after I posted on the planet about the Netflix stuff, I went to check Signal real quick and saw that the news was obviously already spreading. But I couldn't figure out how to even comment. I need to get into this new technology. Plus, I know we're all gonna be on there for the concert.

Netflix has really landed themselves the most anticipated event of the first half of the year - the concert AND a "making of the comeback album" documentary on the 27th. I am so excited - even though the concert's at 4 am, 3/20, my time (after daylight saving time is back) https://bsky.app/profile/dailyseokjin.bsky.social/post/3mdw32cdod22d

I have a question about Arirang. I want to pre-order from Amazon (here in the states, they are hated but, believe it not, so is Target....). There are three different versions just blank for album cover. Sort of different versions? Anyone have a clue what is what and will they have a cover? Little info seems available (at least at Amazon) to show what's different in each version. Do you think Weverse will release more ino in the next few weeks so we'll have an idea which version we might want?

Tae is so polite - and yes, they almost all look freezing. Dubai , in addition to possible soundstages, also has beaches where the weather and water are warm so maybe a beach song? And very possible Dubai is giving them big bucks - maybe for a promotion that has nothing to do with the album, but for the country. And, yes, Namjoon does look slim, but really, they all do. Unless their faces show, the only way to know who is sho is by what they are carrying (ie LV bag gives bundled up Hobi away before you can see his face. I love Yoongi's fast tracking style that he says is out of politeness to other passengers, trying to get through as fast as he can so their own travels are not delayed. Did anyone see Mr Lee?

They may be ignored otherwise by Grammys, but then there is this:

I think we know that there is a comeback soon when even Yoongi posts.

Sorry. I didn't even think as my belly is not happy with me I know walking would help but walking is off the tabe today. The nurse has ordered me Miralax and baby smooshed prunes - neither here yet. I am not dying but I sure feel like shit. Tomorow is bound to be better> Walking would help but requires standing up straight and actuallu walking. some good days, some not so good days. Ich to prunes.

I'll take them home to play.

They are so cute together - and so fine with holding hands because I think it means they are close friends. Who at HYBE, or what department there do you think we could write about a change in how ticketing is done globally? I'm better but a far cry from where I was 3 1/2 weeks ago. Walking a block nealy wiped me out, though I am able to do someother exercises. Of course, I'm also a far cry from just over three weeks ago. It's so easy to forget that it's just been that long.

Thank you - yes, difficult. Pain after 4 1/2 months seems endless. I cna believe there is an end in sight but exhausting in the meantime. (also hurts) My understanding about Signal - and the reason the idiot defense Dept head here was in trouble (though not enough to get him out of the job), was he shared miltary plans on signal - making them open to hacking - but also that the messages disappear after a time and he's supposed to keep them in the record.
