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.

Love that Hobi will be throwing out the first pitch (I had copied the same tweet but you beat me to it...) A couple of things - a YouTube video purporting JK was on leave 2 days ago. That can't be true. And news about NJ, which may or may not be true. I can't figure out who to believe on X anymore.

So much waiting. But a piece of wisdom-

When was the last time you saw a computer that looked like this one?

Just a funny post -- (but it did occur to me that mhj chose Hanni to talk to the government commission because she isn't Korean. It would be a cultural no-no to be looking at a Korean girl --or very, very young Korean woman - like those oid men are looking at hanni.) so , just worth a little laugh

This makes me positively nauseous. Sick sick sick. I do not understand where K-ARMY is with this. They do know how powerless they probably are and how standing up to cultural and political "norms" will come back and bite them. Think "Spring Day". Still hoping that sense prevails with any conclusion.

Misogynists yes, yet the little Hanni can cry and get their sympathy - probably because she's playing the preferred "woman as victim" role. But it's good that the ceo stayed strong and was not bullied. I wonder if we really can ask Jin questions with this -:

When does Hobi get his LV ambassadorship announced? Jin is now at, what, 7?

So great to have Hobi back. And he was wonderful in the Live and became more comfortable as it went on. The regular size bouquet was from TXT. Someone posted his car arrival at Hybe. And look at his instagram - but first this instagram: he was given a party in the rehearsal/dance studio- https://www.instagram.com/p/DBO2CFVvNZy/?img_index=3 https://www.instagram.com/p/DBO0NKky4qR/?img_index=1

They genuinely really care so much about each other. (Wow -- Jin looks amazing!) I am picturing them all tonight catching up with each other and being happy totgetther,

We do have brilliant taste. None better. Okay - officially from Korea Dispatch and a separate TV station that (some will start broadcasting at 7 am) Hobi will be discharged at 9 am KST. No way of knowing if that means he'll be walking out of the gates or if vehicles will be going in. This is a different base than Jin's so the set up is likely different, but I suspect that he'll be the first one appearing. There must be some agreement with the media..... and it would be so incredibly rude to have all of the guys who are being discharged today have to exit at the same time as Hobi.

@Faithyu I think that anyone trying to follow any of our posts would be confused. We are simply not normal.

If K-Media was really on the ball here,, they'd have cameras outside Jimin/JK's base and Namjoon and Tae's locations. Or - this is possible, if they can go to Hobi's discharge, they may all will start at Hybe headquarters and head out in several of those big vehicles

Of course. The media is at Incheon hours before any members show up. Like four hours to catch 90 seconds. As it is presently 4:17 am in Seoul, I think we can relax for at least a couple of hours. If, for some reason, Hobi is given some sort of special release time to avoid the crowds (too late, Hobi), I wouldn't think any release would be before sunrise. I'd say that 8 am there would be the earliest possible time - and he's going to want to say goodbye to all his buddies there, as Jin did, so, for me 9:30 or 10 am would be the earliest. The soldiers on the base, as Jin pointed out in his Live celebrating Jimin's birthday, will have roll call and probably eat. My stomach is all butterflies. Now 4:23 am. Probably still asleep over there -

This is going to require almost continual reworking of playlists. I'm not sure what level of crossover fandoms there are but would also agree that TXT and Jin share - but Jin, I hope, will get the full "ARMY" response to his album release. There may be fewer Jin stans than some of the TXT members, but I really hope he takes #1, at least for a few weeks. Jimin and Who will still feature prominently on anyones playlists. According to @Whoopiewoop, Hobi should be getting out att roughly the same time that Jin did, so probably at 9 or 10 Korea time. Setting my alarm so I can watch the live coverage of it... I could be wrong on the timing..
