I just - because I asked if there was an earlier surgery date, got myself moved to a Jan 7 surgery day., My god - that like weeks away., I'm stunned. I'm ready but not ready.. It's also 7 days after the last radiation. Packing it in.I am so ready yet so scared and so not ready. But recovery will be sooner. Ready for the BTS comeback!! And the subsequent bloodbath. St least I can try for tickets in Seoul. And I will be going back early April.. I am not looking forward to surgery or recovery but will be happy it's done. Too blown away to say much more yet. Sndrea - 'm glad the treatment is working but wish you were;nt so uncomfortable More tomorrow after i've awakend from all this. 3rd radiation tomorrow. And Chris gets in tomorrow night - they are driving. so much happneong too fast-

God, I hope he can get boots that fit hom properly (and he is GORGEOUS)

Do you think it's just the precinct? Or all of them? (It's a big city) And what time zone are we in today?

Hey, has anyone else heard about a "golden membership"? I've seen in mentioned on Facebook. Evidenbtly you are offered and automatically gold if you've been a member for three years. How about 5 (at least) Global and US. I'm being a but prickly about it

I never mentioned the cancer scare and didnt even attach the word "cancer" to it until I got the call from radiation I just couldn't make it real. If I just put it on the back burner and called it a "spot" found in a CT scan, it was a "spot:. I thought of it only a a "spot" until it became real on Wednesday night. Then there was no denying it and it became an "in my face" reality. Having this ON TOP of the all the surgical issue, past and future, was too much, And there will be more surgery in a matter if weeks and I was s SO afraid the two were going to overlap time wise and that would have made both impossible. Now this will be five zaps and gone by Dec 31. Still no date for the reversal surgery and still don't know when Bella comes home, I wasn't keeping anythin gfrom anyone. It was simply a "spot" on my lung and a simply couldn't give it any more reality space than that. And I feel badly for TXT - why not them to perform for the NBA thing, I guess it's just the glitter of the "new " thing but I feel TXT has been getting shafterd lately.

I'll take the full size Jin with my hotel, please💜 I got a call yesterday and today is my first day of radiation. I bruised into tears. I don't know why the reality of what was happening all of a sudden came over me, but it was overwhelming. I am grateful that there is a way out. And it will all be over, at least this part (still have the surgery to go through but the other nasty) but the threat of cancer eating me up will be gone by the 31st. 2026 is going to be a brilliant year I would recoup nicely in that Jin hotel .

No way. He could do a cameo but all 7 guys will be in rehearsel. ALL the time (19th an occasional appearance at a brand event and even that is going to become a time issue. I agree with Namjoon. DSYLM is maybe the the third or fourth best song on that album

I wonder when this was taken? https://www.threads.com/@casseyjinkim/post/DSNVYHtFVNS?xmt=AQF07WIJHiMZ0sgl370DVE_ikKTPIXFpjFhPHqY6kXjtf27ReGs33AZAKlxaHdzLXDefRQJg&slof=1

why does it look like Tae is there, too? Hooded uo

And old but illuminating clip -

And I'm not really. Not at all. (One: Nike is for everyone). Not only is he an athlete, he embodies their long used slogan "just do it". He barely stops moving. (Although i've never been able to figure out how any of them can slip and slide and dance as they do with sticky soles....)

And such a waste of money, too. Yoongi. Smiling. OT7. Smiling,. Together. I'm happy

He will never stop dancing. Ever. But I love how they look after each other and think about each other and look forward to their future together. JK cooking for Namjoon and even having his books there whether or not he was reading them or not just beside the point, he had them there to make them feel comfortable. I call that love.💜 Real brother loving friends love.

Time to album: They are kind of starting from scratch. I suspect that they will use some favorites from before when they go on tour (because asking for 25 new songs is no possible). Turuly, it's only been a couple of months. And there is so much to production the average ARMY doesn't understand. Plus - we are dealing with perfectionists, They are not going to release something remotely mediocre. And are still working on choreo. God knows it takes a LONG time for even one song. And RM will remain a sort of spiritual leader and certainly the one that others will go to if they are having trouble writing or something in their personal lives. But Namjoon can't tell anyone what to do. He can suggest. All members are keenly aware of "scandal" and how that can impact them individually and as a group. They know the rules. The rules haven't changed for idols. It is actually pretty remarkable how under the radar their personal lives have been. [hey - I miss the teenagerBTS as much as the next ARMY, but these are not teenagers.}

Only for few hours now as i want to watch, too. It's my son's account so - sent in a DM oh - okay -I'll watch tonight..

Hobi doesn't do "standing still" even for a pose in these promotions for more than 5 seconds. He is a level above all the rest. (Tae is far more skilled at being still, but movement is Hobi.)

kind of fun - https://www.threads.com/@vkth_.v/post/DRue2wyk5z_?xmt=AQF07NEibrgrZeaZZxygix2WtmCxDsMlP5P-RHFQ2Q5gEKuOESPDJFhShbMaG0D95dP9WtJX&slof=1

After seeing what JK regularly carries around with him IN town, this bringing nothing must have put an actual panic into him. (Though I imagine their team brought along what they knew the guys would need.) In country: small purse, small wallet, credit cards, a little cash, kleenex, lip balm. Tiny pen and an index card. Out of the country: add a passport.

Has this group nearly doubled in size? I remember it being four or five best buddies...

Jungkook needs so much stuff to feel secure - as if he's not going to be able to pick up some lip balm or snacks at a convenience store. Jimin and I have simple tastes.

You know, whenever anyone doubts just what a brilliant producer and composer he is, listen to Fighting Demons (mostly by Juice World) that Yoongi took and finished after JW died. Wow

Translation of Namjoon's notes:

In any award show, having more than one member, or cast member, or writer, or director nomintared for the same award makes it tough, Or - and this happned tot Chris' group the first year of the daytyime emmys when "broadband" was added, Chris' production had two nominations in a total of three. That makes it nearly impossible to win. 9"the nomintaiton is the award..." I know that, during the time in the military and the solo projects, when we got to see a fuller picture of individual members, the bias aspect would be increased. I had seen some people wanting JK to just go off on his own. Two points: as amazing and incredible the solo work has been, they'd have never even been solo artists if they weren't BTS and they wouldn't have come up out of the blue as solo artists without the support of ARMY (and the thirst for ANY BTS stuff). They certainly proved themselves - each and every one of them, that they are capable of carrying a successful solo career, but they are BTS and I beleiev they are aware of that. Still find it hard to believe that MAMA even went ahead with an award show

Agree -Having this show while there are still people missing is disgusting. Just reschedule to another date, another city. How appropriate is joy at winning in such circumstances? And honey? We rarely had fried chicken when I was growing up but the closest honey every got to it was for the cornbread.

Same thing but with subs -
