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.

I think just means that there will be some musicians? Okay - Hobi's tour: Tickets sold out within a very short time - like 10 minutes for at least one. TM is doing massive platinum pricing on the seats that pop up, like close to $800 plus taxes and fees for a ticket that started out less than $200. And the biggest lesson learned (from multiple people on Reddit): your place in the queue is totally random and is not based, even a little bit, on when you get on to TM before the sale begins. A half an hour won't get you a better spot than if you log on ten minutes ahead. I had always thought that entering the lobby or waiting room or whatever it is called as soon as you can, made a difference - but it doesn't. So as long as you are logged on to the TM site (and have everything up to date on there, like your payment method) BEFORE the official start of the pre-sale (or sale, but there will never be tickets left after the ARMY pre-sale), your chances are as good as the other 40K people waiting to get a good spot in the queue. That actually slightly lowers the stress level a little bit because I've always sat in front of my computer for the hour before. So cross your fingers, I guess. And it's your ARMY membership number that is your code - which isn't required until you've gotten to the front of the queue so ineligible people may be in line ahead of you. The platinum prices make me totally crazy. Also - expect TM to want to send you a verification code on your phone at one or more points in the process so have your phone at the ready. I want LA - who else wants LA? And will everyone try for the tickets (who can)?

Back to baggy pants.

I don't know of anyone who has gone to the In the Soop shooting location but that's a full day, mostly stuck in a bus with 50 ARMY. Maybe that would be fun for you. I'd rather spend that kind of money going to the movie/tv/MV shooting site that is a recreation of a Joseon viillage. Daechwita was shot there. It's called Yongin Daejanggeum Park. It's free to get into and multiple ways to get there, some fairly low cost. I guess the only catch would be if something was being filmed there, but you could probabkly check ahead of time. The place where the Run BTS Joseon village stuff was shot is Korean Folk Village. That does cost to get into - about $25. There seems to be a number of public transportation options for getting there. How long will you be staying in Seoul?

He looks like he has his fully developed dancing legs back. And, wow - such a sweet cutie.

Exciting to see that this is for fashion week, too. Maybe we'll get a LV photo shoot!

So organized -

We, in the states, do not have a monopoly on gaslighting.

FYI: I never saw any of this in stores on Jeju. And it's hard for me to rally behind anything gin. I hate itt and I think it makes people mean - but that's because my ex became mean after drinking gin. I do wonder why he went with gin. It's not one of the most popular alcohols in Korea. But maybe this will change that.

Excellent @Faithyu. So, according to the Reddit comments, you need the US membership but not an address (though mine is usable...if you want). You just have to have a PayPal acct.. The LA concerts, I think, will not be TM but that remains to be seen. There is a lot of consternation and confusion and anger.... For TM - evidently, applying for pre-sale, one must use their membership number as their code (after applying on Weverse, I guess). Membership number is your presale code. i haven't tried this yet, but will update after I do. Since the only city I could attend is LA and those aren't available yet.... And Weverse has responded regarding email address changes. Can not be done, period. "Registered email is utilized as the account iD.." The only way to have a different email address is to, yes, buy another membership. I really am angry with all the Weverse tricks aimed solely at getting ARMY to send them more money.

Wait a minute - my US Army membership is almost due to be renewed, so I guess I have to pay Hybe some more money just for a chance to wait in a queue.

Evidently, that's a new thing? I know that I had to have a Global membership to try (and the operative word here is "try") for a Seoul ticket, but that is an Interpark requirement, I'd go ahead IMMEDIATELY and contact Weverse about this. No Canadians need apply? This is not how the Yoongi tour was. When BTS has their world tour 0 whenever - will Canada be left in the cold totally? This is ridiculous. It isn't enough to buy the USA membership? You can use my address but that's different than a billing address. I bought Global, but it wasn't so much that I felt too ripped off, and maybe it will mean I can try to shows in Canada when they come there... Also - it wasn't TM who had the LA BMO site for the TXT show. And, note: no prices listed yet. And only two tickets per person per credit card - that's a change. Is this TM policy or Hybe? I have a bad feeling about it.

Wow - Yes, I always have had to send inquiries multiple times, and often get a response that has nothing to do with the question. I tried that link and if one is not prepared immediately, one cannot even send it. There seems to be a time allowance.... I'lll keep trying... I'd just like to be able to access Interpark. I had written Weverse a couple of times and the best they could come up with was telling me to go to Interpark to get tickets for Hobi. And great that I wanted to go...blah blah blah. Of course, I may need to choose another category to inquire under. Weverse and Interpark share a laissez-faire when it comes to customer satisfaction.

Thanks - I will try it. Must be a different dept than regular customer service. I had given them days and multiple requests. But if that's the reason Interpark isn't working, I still want to get it to work for upcoming anything in Korea...

Interpark NEVER accepted that i an ARMY, officially, in spite of pleading and stressing the time element. Weverse never let me know how to change my email address, which had to be the problem - so no Hobi for me.

Wow - they sure don't have much lead time before a concert. European peeps: is that the usual case?

I wonder what the ticket sales for this were like before Hobi was announced? I doubt that the concert, in total, was just put together in the last couple of days so they must have been having really bad ticket sales to have needed Hobi. But, I bet, he'd have very much wanted to do this and would not be costing the promoters as much as he would get otherwise - and he is only one act among many. He'll have fun. But, wow - not a lot of advance warning. Ticket sales for anything with any of the members continue to be a bloodbath. Same question: does anyone know how to change ones official email acct on Weverse? If Interpark refuses to see I am an actual ARMY, no way I'll get a ticket for Hobi -

The message barely makes sense. You'd think if Ai was so smart, it would know I mean Weverse when I say it. Rrrrrr. And because Interpark is so bizarre, I had to set up another account and use my other email address. I am verified with them. They have my passport and everything, but they don't think I'm a member of Weverse because, I think, my email doesn't match. I did ask Weverse how to change it and they just said yeah they know I want to go to see Hobi. So I sent them another email saying the question was how do I change my email on my account? cannot wait for NJ to get their just desserts

These stupid girls obviously don't care, but they are causing immense damage to the whole trainee system. If they think they can get out of their contract just on a whim. Sure I know that they don't have anything left on their schedule so hopefully this will all come to a conclusion and they will realize how much money they owe Ador and Hybr. Reality is about to set in for them. And I am glad for that. I hope somebody gets to go see Hobie! I am still having issues with global Interpark, has seems to be the case with many many people. The big deal I think right now is that my email address on my official Weaver's account does not match the email address that Interpark has for me. But I can't figure out how to change it. I can edit everything on my account page on Weaver's except for my email address. Anybody know how to change it? also, I am dictating this while I'm in the car. And it turns out that AI is much worse than AutoCorrect. So I hope this message makes sense.
