I have a sneaking suspicion this will only be in "major" cities. Tucson is not, even though it showed at at least 6 theatres here. It does say "select" globally.....

I am absolutely tingling looking forward to seeing - and hearing!-Hobi again. And so hope there will be a group photo. I don't know if the other six - or 5 minus Yoongi, since he was unable to go to Jin's exit - will go to welcome his release at the base. They all might be understandably annoyed with K-media, but also feel a responsibility to both ARMY and Hobi. Certainly, this would be the last "exit" they could all attend since Namjoon and Tae would be in different places on their release date, a day before Jimin and JK are released.

Well, this is good news. I don't know how old he is and Hobi has likely visited his family while he's been in the military but I had been afraid he'd be gone by now and how sad that would be.

I believe this will end the legal and official part of it. I don't think they made the fine this big to discourage him or others so it might be standard (though how many ordinary people would have that available.) The announcement of this just really makes me, even more, wish I could watch it with all of you - I hope the cost of a ticket goes down.....

This site is easy to sign up for - never hear of it before - but it, as always, annoys me that "haters" go out of their way to try to make the members look bad on any and all sites. This one was posted for Hobi, but once you're there,, you can rate all the members and OT7. (Sometimes it feels that finding a postable post is an a almost desperate chore.)

As a military band member, Joon would have had no choice. But it was a family event. Not public. Definitely footage that would have been discouraged,, but I like that he seems to be enjoying himself. Two Yoongi older posts - makes one think just how overwhelming the level of success that have had came as a surprise to all of them. Thinking - we'll debut, hope to get some awards, do well and then go one with the usual life of a "retired" idol.

Government "might request" the key here. I guess if the military band is doing performances, he doesn't have a lot of choice, and the guy does love to perform.

The first post, with is on threads, is distressing - looks like they are using members for their shows. Maybe Namjoon, because he is in the band has different requirements, butt I would think that Spring Day would be off limits. Waiting tto see what else we might see. https://www.threads.net/@rpwprpwprpwp________/post/DAdsrEZz3Tw/?xmt=AQGzFW21FKBxQaQQwCtqp3STyhStD2NYeA5TW7p2sXC-DA I was going to post about the MV, also, with the question of MV????? What MV? How soon until we get an announcement of a "comeback"? Jin is asking for ideas to do for content, but won't he be busy with his promotions?

They are just teasing BTS members. It's a four day festival? I believe that HYBE (maybe?) made it clear that no members would be performing at all during their time in the military. I suppose they can be "ordered" to, but, they are under a contract that has exclusive rights. Note: Yoongi not listed. As this starts in 4 Korean days, our members would have been secured and promoted by now. I guess we'll see but I hope they don't perform, even if I would like to see them. This would be USING them.

And, evidently, looking for new clothes.

I just love that the members, even almost ten months into their military time, continue to set records and get international recognition. And the one who is back with us gets mentioned again - (more love to Chris Martin)

I guess I can go ahead and order a Namjoon's Brain thing - I guess it's not copyright infringement I was thinking of but licensing - So, this demonstrates quite nicely how different in volume the fandoms of BTS and nj are- And this is just informational for anyone purchasing from these companies - prices that are too good to be true are generally too good to be true. In addition to the toxic materials in this piece, we also know that it is slave labor producing the products (like the Uyghurs, a Muslim population that has been in China since the 9th-13th century).

I wonder if there are any copyright issues with the Items in that shop. Wouldn't all the BTS-related items be "owned" by HYBE? and Tae won't be forced to lose his muscles. Yes, losing muscle seems a like a very easy thing, but if he did choose to slim down some, it would have to be done slowly. I suspect he will want to lose some just to be able to dance as he has. All the members may be under contract but they won't have the weight restrictions they would have had when they were in their first or even second contract. In JK's documentary, he clearly wants to be super fit and slim for doing his MV's. I guess that hair style and color used to be something the company could control but a few years ago, Jin told them he didn't want to bleach his hair anymore. He has had it dark since. I understand he had a wig for the shooting of The Astronaut, and the hair there is not black. They can always use a color rinse on their natural color. Certainly the days of starving to be crazy skinny (or because they couldn't afford food) are long past.

Love those!!! But, yes, pricey (as if that stops us.....). Lots of re-tweets. mhj and jin and hobi news.

And this is the not-yet buff Tae.

Maybe someone at KBS has the same shaman that mhj has. The 25th has come and gone in Korea and, as far as I can tell, the sky didn't fall in Seoul.

I think this will alter what brands he will be ambassador for. Sportswear and rehydrating beverages -

He did choose the Special Forces team so must have had the thought for a while. I think he just enjoys excelling. There was an article about controversies and scandals involving BTS (but implied it was about the intense criticism they get) but I wouldn't click on it... Some fun posts - three weeks and a day before Hobi is back. And did we know this HYYH project for 2025? Maybe it's a compilation and will be one of those pieces of content released during what would otherwise be a long dry spell before everyone is back, like between Jin and Hobi releases.. This is "one more reason to love Hobi'.

Whoa! And where are they? Minjae is also in the military but I read he is in the army band. I wonder if he is in the same band as Namjoon. And how will any of them lose the bulky muscles and be slim again? Jin doesn't seem to have become super-buffed but he's never been as interested in working out.

He is a complete skater (who needs work on his jumps for competitions). Ilia Malilin has nothing on Jun for style -

It is not just HYBE they are burning bridges with - who will want to sign them to a contract that they won't feel like honoring? Does SM want mhj back? That would be the only way to get NJ, but that would be a risk. No one will trust mhj or NJ. And, in addition to all the HYBE related stuff @rockstaryuzu mentioned, Hobi will be discharged in a little more than three weeks and Seoul will be plastered with "Welcome Home" banners (if there is space available when the Happy Birthday, Jimin posters and banners start going up - his birthday is in 2 1/2 weeks.) I don't know if this is part in the interview, without subs, that was posted here. Makes me wonder if he was near that island when he shot something... And good news to cleanse the palate of mhj --

I don't even feel sorry for them anymore. I guess the girls are young enough that they don't really grasp what a stupid and expensive move this would be, but their parents should. Expensive and career ending.

More Jin - and I would have been limping and crying if I'd fallen as often as Jimin did trying to snowboard (and I think this episode, this series, gives us a far better look into their relationship with their staff - of which there are many. It really has to have been years of having cameras and people in your space to be able to "be" with all tthose people around.) https://www.instagram.com/reel/DATNgUeNVK1/?igsh=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng%3D%3D

They all take care of their skin better than I do mine. But genetics is key. Flawless. I'd wonder how they can afford Jin as their ambassador with affordable products, but Compose has Tae and they're a coffee shop.
