I love how supportive they are of each other. My latest wish is to have Yoongi (and other members would be a bonus) attend a Hobi concert in Seoul. I know that they all, or at least they seem, to want to stay silent on Yoongi - I wish someone would say he's doing okay. Anyway, an older but great post with Namjoon.

Of LV? I'd have thought the LV show that Hobi went to when this little ditty was first mentioned would have. Yay to TXT. Hard to believe it took this long for them to win.

Knowing he was home. But didn't do a Live. I wonder if he got pushback for his extended one the last time. I think he's one of the members who is having the toughest time in the military. It's less than four months until they are back. Hobi responded, though, so I hope he is cheered. LV bag? I look forward to the lyrics on that one. What an you actually say about an LV bag? Maybe Hobi will do a Live when this comes out (and I wish someone would mention Yoongi and how he's doing....)

I've never seen him skate better. Even his 3A is good. I agree that our guys should have been exempted for all they have done and will do for their country. Certainly, Jun will be of more benefit for men's skating there than any male skater before him. The pressure will be off him now and he can skate in next years Olympics, do a lot of modeling (yum) and probably start training and helping younger Korean skaters. At least skating is an actual sport. Having an archer get a military exemption seemed to me a bit much. Seriously, no single citizen or team has/had done nearly as much as BTS for bringing Korea to the world and increasing its reach and popularity. Hobi, though. 😳🤩😛

Excellent news!!!!!

They could have had a totally black screen and as soon as he says 'guess who?" we'd know who it is.

Update on yesterday's vain attempt for LA Hobi tickets. I started at 8000 and it took about 15 minutes to get in. Virtually no good seat available and anything that was had already been made platinum pricing. Oddly, the base price range they showed kept changing. Like $82-$337 turned into $104-$391 (none of the packages -) 2nd tier tickets started at $82.40 but were already $582. Seriously. Floor seats $3000-$4000. For grins, I checked the other day and ended up over 50000 back in that queue. TM even has a little blurb stating these are prices set by the artists - for the original ones. So it's TM trying to kill us. And even with WAY overpriced tickets, there were maybe 100-200 seats left, most of them wheelchair accessible. In any case, I didn't buy. I am not going to spend big bucks when I need a hot water heater (a practical old lady). If you click this reddit page, there are links to some fun videos from when they released You Never Walk Alone, 8 years ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/bangtan/s/3t8a4kLrss

I kind of hope not. There are so many artists, and rap people, for him to work with. I'd love to have him be more discerning and not choose rap people who lean towards profanity and vulgarity. But that's just me. I know they had a lot of heroes when they were younger who are people I would never listen to and even actively dislike, but I also felt that (with exception) they didn't really know what was being said/rapped. The guys still killing the charts -

I'm grateful Jin is posting. Feels like a drought. I've been re-watching Rise of Bangtan and am reminded that Namjoon has always been as introspective as he is now. Always wanting to be better and have a message and to have his message heard. A post:

Happy to see Soobin back and happy. The most telling thing he says is "there were also days when i endlessly spiraled into deep thoughts." I think we were all right believing he needed a mental health break. The stress of being the leader of the follow-up act/little brothers of BTS had to have been overwhelming. He had Namjoon to talk to about this, and did, so i think he probably has missed him more than ARMY has.

And I have been trying to buy HYBE stock for a long time. Korea, as yet, does not allow it. I'll have to check with my brokerage again. Now is the time to buy, before OT7 is back. And Jin looks insanely gorgeous here.

We don't know. I really don't believe that HYBE is not interested in promoting TXT and getting them whatever they need for success- I think it's SloRabbit who did most of their last producing but he's likely not connected directly to performance anything. Their manager? Do the members believe they are sufficient entertainment on their own (and having seen them in concert, I certainly wasn't disappointed in anything)? For me, one of the surprises with their supposed "break" is how un-break like it feels. I'm sure they must have pre recorded content but still seem pretty active. By now, they should be all back and working on their tour stuff and, what I guess, would be new music? Soobin's absence would have impacted all this but they can't have a successful tour with nothing new. We just haven't gotten a lot of clarity on what's really up with them, which is a little worrying. Jimin and sergeant too? Why did I think he already was?

Your birthday? My computer flashed a name at me this morning and I don't have anyones' birthday anywhere on the computer, so.... Also, I hope, since he says he shaved his head (but after this picture), that he'll be growing it for the next four months without having to shave it again. Remember him saying - long before he had to, that he was shaving his head because his head was hot? II bet he no longer feels that way. Did TXT not have dancers even in Japan? That has to be their choice (I hope)

For your birthday? Happy Birthday!

Hobi - and the actor fom squid game (it doesn't say where this is, but I presume Seoul)

I follow him on Instagram and he looked to be moving, or maybe setting up a new studio, but it looks like moving. (and I'm pretty sure, or at least it looks like Sungdeuk has permanently relocated to the states - associated with Hybe America). I do hope they are both around and involved in the group comeback.

I really love this look on him. Jeans that fit. Casual. but his airport shoes..... I have to believe I'd have tripped and fallen on my face wearing those. They must be lightweight, unlike the "dress" LV shoes he showed in Paris that are all studded and must weight 5 lbs each.

Well, this is something he likely won't ever have to do again in a matter of months. Ever. At least there are a lot of them-

It was the First Lady's request that Hobi open the show. I don't know if she's why he was invited, at such a late date, but I'm sure she knows that he would fill the arena.

I love that the fanchant was for all the members!!!! Hobi was just on Live. Amazingly, LA still not up BUT vivid seats are already selling tickets for it, even though they don't know what the seat configuration is.

Wish I was there!!! There are tickets on StubHub for not too terrible prices for upperdeck type seats for Chicago and ridiculous prices for floor. Just saying - I don't know how the transfer process works for them anyway.

Only to mobile devices - and mine is so small, it's hardly worth it, but I'm a member anyway.

I hadn't either, but it's for university students and I believe he has graduated.
