Good advice - and I finally figured out how to vote for both -

I am going with leSerrafim

As there will only be 10 at the top, striving to get our members up there precludes working for TXT - oh, well. I am getting "two votes" but I don't care about the girl groups. This is fun... https://www.threads.net/@minsugajiminie9395/post/DB8AzpyRbSI?xmt=AQGzptWlyPgGU-c8f-j4LCb1YrGy6Ka2idxdI5Ak5h0SKg And the reason why K-media thinks Hybe is in danger while also why they are not.

Whoa - this explains a lot, but doesn't make me feel any better. Kakao is huge and has his fingers in all sorts of pies. I don't think this sounds like Hybe actually needs to "fail" to save the entertainment branch of Kakao, but must have plenty of investors very nervous. Why don't they just go public? There must be corruption in the upper echelons that they are trying to conceal. And why would it be logical that Hybe would need to fail? There are other large entertainment companies. Resentment towards Hybe for their seemingly instant success is massive. But it wasn't instant -- and when BigHit became Hybe, they did share with long time employees. No one felt ripped off. mhj might have been a planted chaos maker -though that would be too conspiracy. But she might have money in it and that could be part of her unwillingness to give up her losing fight with Hybe. More will be revealed, I'm sure.

I can only do the app through Apple -- and there is only one category to vote on. Shouldn't there be more things to vote for? If I can only vote for one member a day, I don't know how to boost them. This is a pretty thoughtful article - https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/2024/11/715_385512.html

OK - I downloaded the app but it seems that there are different levels - do you have to actually "join" and pay to vote for anybody or anything beyond the one daily vote? It seems like it. Has anyone done that? (And then three threads posts that will make you smile -) https://www.threads.net/@minsugajiminie9395/post/DB6drgMNjOS?xmt=AQGzj3cLcC6titkpOwNpHCGwnSNlp4CIGC6V-VqTN6DWzQ https://www.threads.net/@rpwprpwprpwp________/post/DB5xlEJSQPq?xmt=AQGzoocG3dae-_5sQIEs1jOfRwUr9IPoI6RRGpLrh5goJw https://www.threads.net/@minsugajiminie9395/post/DB6cttqtIbT?xmt=AQGzS1RsuBN1zeNVv4pyCvE1OHBP7iTSz7na6ZbQDPh_Lg

Does anyone know how to vote for MAMA? JK really was the top a year ago - It's interesting to juxtapose his super star persona with how he was with Jimin (and Tae) at the same time, in Are You Sure. He'd reached something he must have dreamed of but was just JK. I hope he stays as humble and regular as he seemed. And this - love this.

Cheery stuff - and introspective stuff --

No Jin with Coldplay? He could still show up for one of the nights....

The boy is gone.

I think you're right about the Hobi non-pic. If not the smile being off, the bag is too big for his style.... Soobin is so normal and cute....

Yoongi streams (pretty remarkable for a K-rap song- and a "threads' with a pic of what I guess is Tae's unit. (she says "hot taehyung".) https://www.threads.net/@rpwprpwprpwp________/post/DBysWBfyG5C?xmt=AQGzJhVmZrpwCv2-fGlytk0H2H9HUCKGhDXuH5fmlsEVgQ

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.
