There are more and more stories about mhj's assertion that Tae supports her, called her on her birthday (we heard that) and on in contact on a regular basis. A complaint has been filed with the ministry of military blah blah,, supposedly by a LeS fan, but I'd put money on it being a nj fan, about the supposed birthday call. I have no details other than the headlines because I will not give them clicks. This is such slander - Tae would not jeopardize his military status nor do anything "scandalous", which would hurt the BTS brand and Hybe. I really hope Hybe goes after her for this. The K press is, at least, not dragging Yoongi through the mud lately. Going after members who cannot possibly defend themselves against slander and accusations is really low. I fully believe that BTS will come out of all of this just fine. Hyve stock had just gone way up with Hobi returning and I'll be There being released - mhj just can't stand anything or anyone in the company doing well. Infuriating. And sad.

I thought the same thing, He might have returned from that Spain trip and voiced his concern to Bang or his manager or Namjoon. She's such a troll. Trying to drag Tae into this was a new low. Ah - but on a good note: and they don't qualify it with "Korean" group.

So, I don't know how someone would know this is Hobi, but I'll go with it - and Robertson Blvd has a famous shopping district, so maybe?

Yes, Tae is a polite young man, but 1)how would he even know when her birthday was? 2)He'd been enlisted for four days - he's not going to break the rules and 3)seriously - if it were true, she'd have evidence of it. She's a rumor mill all on her own. And, as I recall, she supposedly tried to enlist Tae into her takeover scheme. He'd have likely reported that, brushed it off or ignored it. I just can't see him being buddy-buddy with her in any way.

She is just going to pull any rabbit out of her hat, hoping it hits. Go ahead, report him. Force her to show this message that we know he never sent. Tae owns a piece of Hybe and would never do anything that would reflect badly on the company (or himself). If one of the members sent me any message ever about anything, not only would I archive it, I'd print it out and frame it.

So, there will be two livestreams of Happy. One at 1 in the morning and the other at 3 in the morning. I sure hope Weverse offers that up in some replay fashion.

Yes! to mhj losing her injunction - though she doesn't seem done with attacking Hybe --- she is permanently barred from being CEO of Ador. Your rant well justified. https://www.instagram.com/eyopkr/p/DBtapdMzeSZ/?img_index=1 On the other hand, she still seems to have support in the assembly.

It's the yellow I have an issue with - Hobi always carries some LV bag. If anyone clicked on the Threads post about his arrival in LA,, you may notice that one of tthe large "suitcases" seems to be from Supreme Boi, so maybe he went with him.... And, yes to Germany:

Hobi in LA - https://www.threads.net/@rpwprpwprpwp________/post/DBpxF13yGJ5?xmt=AQGzps7MgULgV6ltFThjo33ZORxeydce8bRtGYYSlbbjhA And two years ago,, with Namjoon, and I don't remember this event -

This is in Korean, and no subs, but we can still get the message --

He does look comfortable but that is one weird outfit. He had the yellow LV when he exited the baseball game the other day. Way too yellow for me. And about time Incheon upped their security game. I think it was Tae who said during the pandemic, he was even missing the airport mobs, but they'll feel safer and more at ease now. Amazing how BTS has inspired major institutional changes like this. I wonder if the press, like Korea Dispatch, will still be out there getting video of whoever entering the new special entrance. Having been to ICN multiple times, I don't know where they would be putting this new entrance - unless they have people enter on the arrival floor and go directly up to security somehow. There are 6 security entrances in the one terminal -- even crews go to though those. But if they chose one end , they could at least have a plan in place to close one elevator off if they know someone is coming.

I think you're on to something here - but then my first reaction was 90's vibe, so, yes - though this was actually 80's. Makes you wonder if the guys who wrote I'll be There heard Billy Joel when they were babies or youngsters and the song stuck in their head.

Very catchy - but this isn't the cover song for the album. Still, I hope it does well. It's great to see that Jin can still leap high and dance around like the silly guy he can be,

They definitely got into different cars but, as I surmised, I think they wound up in the same car for the long drive. They both have security and their manager(s) so there would be personnel to fill up two vehicles. I just think they didn't want ARMY following one specific vehicle. I, too, wonder when that show will be out, but we should get plenty of notice, Jin's first new song comes out in a couple of hours. Someone suggested a Jin-heavy playlist, so I attach that tweet ( but I think it's goofed up as it has Super Tuna every other song and I thought that makes the stream not count). Plus a really old, prescient one (look at the date it was originally posted)-- and a funny one...

Jin talking a little about his discharge day (that he's also said he remembers almost nothing about). https://www.dipe.co.kr/2309230#google_vignette

Four additional posts about Hobi at the baseball game. (oops --two identical posts, sorry) His dad was with him! (the game was in his hometown, Gwangju - hope he saw Mickey.) And, evidently, the pitch was pretty good.

I wonder why they didn't let Jin and Hobi drive back to Seoul together (unless Hobi's team really thought Jin would kidnap him, but I don't think that was really ever a plan). That's a long drive - I think they should have driven together - but it's possible they stopped 20 miles away and had Hobi get in the car with Jin. It was only one car that arrived at Hybe later- And Hobi is SO baseball with his yellow LV bag! Such a cutie.

Surprise, surprise: Translated from Korean by [Article] #방탄소년단 , #Jin and #J-Hope's return strengthens their grip on the US Billboard

Jin and Yoongi are the only two members NOT nominated this year- so maybe Hobi could even go, and Jin could accept awards for any of them. That would be cool --

I think that mhj still wields too much power in SK. Maybe the parliment decision will put an end to this. Yoongi's case is long over and Hobi is back and Jin's album is about to come out. Some people can't accept that BTS is getting attention. I haven't watched it yet but read that the Run Jin episode is the last for a while, probably because of promotions, but I hope they shot one with Hobi -

I've tried it and am sold after just a few days. I wasn't expecting it to be as thin as it is (so, yes, a spray would be nice for plain moisturizing) but II found, immediately, that it's toner side is outstanding. Much better than any toner I've used for removing dirt you were sure would have been gone after washing. And leaves a smooth moisturizing finish. And, oddly, if II go down my neck with the cotton pad, onto the upper part of my chest, the moisturizing there is exceptional. So for one squirt onto a cotton pad, my skin gets super clean and my face, neck and upper chest are soft. I am surprised at its effectiveness, really. I do use sunscreen cream over it during the day. Unfortunately, my skin has not become as flawless as Jin's. But I just started it and am also not a 31 yr old Korean who is genetically blessed and has taken care of his skin for at least a decade.

I'm pretty sure he nixed the idea of having his hair bleached out a couple of years before he enlisted. And the person who posted the JK video on YouTube did not like that I disputed the veracity of this happening over the past couple of days. Someone else posted that it had a time date on sometime in 2023. And Seventeen left on the 20th for their tour. Still, love JK.

Mine, too. Obviously a wig - I always thought blond Jin is my least favorite Jin-look, but will try to be open minded about it. With wigs in mind, I think maybe the burgundy tones to his hair when he welcomed Hobi's discharge (and almost matched his Gucci outfit) may well have been a wig, too. I don't know how long his hair is right now but it wouldn't be the first time (Astronaut). The hair and wig people at Hybe are the best.

Oh - and a flash from the past. I don't think I've seen this before.
