Who are these people who are no negative? And why? Blinks? As if BP is even active these days. Pic of Hobi from someone's discharge today - the one on the left is from Yoongi's concert last year. Can hardly wait for him to be out and his hair can grow in...

He doesn't seem to be super adept at the sax yet - I wonder if he chose doing a band thing just to be close to music.

No idea when these were taken --

Be Mine changed by less than 1M streams (Spotify) in the full day since the English Version came out. I don't for a minute believe that this is accurate. It really annoys me.... I am taking bets on whether or not Weverse crashes when Run BTS debuts next week.

Jin -

It seems like Jin is combining Eat Jin and Run Jin. He does love to eat - they all love to eat. (wonder how many episodes there will be-) I also watched the behind of the recordings for Who. Jimin is as much a perfectionist as an of the members. Love that he, like all of them, says at least a couple of times, how much he'd like the other members to be there. PDogg seems to have been attached at the hip to Jimin for a year and a half. He takes such good care of him. Amazing to me that it seems that the MV for Who was shot inn one night. One cold night. I wonder if they flew the dancers in a day or so ahead of time, but Jimin flew in, went and recorded and that was that. This is his best hair, I think, though I very much like his straight black hair of the Face era.

So, I wonder what he does if he's not training recruits? About 2 1/2 months - that's quite a long time to not have his usual job.

I bet JK and Jimin were so excited to see her ARMY tattoo - but still, even though they pretty much admitted who they were, stuck to standard BTS protocol - no pictures. I'd have been as flustered as she was and unable to heat the pizza. And, of course, another song to get - and I will. English version of Be Mine. I am so excited for next week, with Run Jin and Are you Sure? I bet Jin will do a live after the first showing of his new show - be ready!!!

This and the Jimin/JK in August. And there's supposed to some Korean show where he's on a survivor-type show on a deserted island, or maybe that''s for his show. And JK answering "maybe" made me laugh so hard. That has to have been when they are in the states. Not only is it impossible to not know they are BTS, there's a camera crew with them.

An entire day with no post or update! We can't have that

Google translate really misses not only the gist of the quote but also any nuance. I think part of that is the lack of understanding of the Korean standard of beauty and masculinity. Guess I won't use google for my letters to the members....

I'm back - almost. Super jetlagged abd killing many hours at SFO but finally can post all the following twitter stuff. -

Sitting in my so-so hotel in Busan and have a crazy long day tomorrow but, have to share - two articles with Jin (Olympic torch bearer) and more records for Jimin -

And another one lost because of MHJ - the CEO is leaving - or stepping down which may be the same thing. https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Media-Entertainment/BTS-agency-Hybe-CEO-resigns-amid-feud-with-subsidiary https://deadline.com/2024/07/hybe-ceo-resigns-lee-jae-sang-bts-1236019847/

I think she is screwed all over the place. I know that business law is different in Korea, but only because the offenses have different names - but theft is theft. And they were using communications received by their employees, not info from the laptop they can't get back. I am surprised, really, they they can't access anything via the cloud. She'll have "wiped" her computer anyway, but you can't actually have it all disappear. The cloud is forever. I just hope she is charged and tried and gone before OT7 are back. I saw a "thread" pointing out ha the choreo of all the solo work have 6 back up dancers. So 7 dancing. I am never going to get standby - damn United, so I have to get a UA discount ticket. Really unhappy about it -----

There are a least a dozen Muse focused Spotify playlists. And yes, I do auto translate for all Korean stuff on Chrome. Have their been enough exhibitions? Evidently not. One for JK coming. https://www.upi.com/Entertainment_News/Music/2024/07/23/Jungkook-exhibit/6391721751171/

Yup - she is an equal opportunity slanderer. I think she's a narcissistic sociopath. Jin is so thoughtful. And Jimin such a star.

I need some personal one-on-one choreo instruction and believe this is the man to teach me. Even though it looks really straight forward, there are quite a few moves requiring flexibility. I hope he'll be patient with me. And I have to say that MHJ is even more corrupt and underhanded than previously thought. I'd say I can't believe she's trying to put blame on Bang PD but she is the type to take no responsibility for all her corrupt actions. I'd call her comments about Bang libelous - and Source seems to have a good case agains her, too. I hate that Hybe and BigHit are still unable to shake her out of he company but feel so incredibly sad for those girls. They are talented and have worked so hard but MHJ used and abused them.

And back to the melodrama - https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/433/0000106807

I can't believe how much time I spent updating my streaming lists and now have to rework them. The unfortunate fact that "editing" and 'inserting" a song or mv is not an option is killing me. And I made my Spotify list LONG. The best option, really, is to delete a lot of it and add the new stuff at the end (since I can't insert) and then go with the shuffle option. At least the new stuff has a good chance of getting played. This works really well with Amazon music. Oh,, Jimin Jimin Jimin....

I saw an ad or maybe an announcement promoting Jimin on Canadian radio - but can't find it now. Tumultuous news in the states so I'm a little overwhelmed to wake up to the renewed hope for democracy.

I'm curious -- does anyone else think it's actually possible that RM was unaware if what Jimin was doing for a year and a half? I don't think it's possible. And I remember plenty of times when members would go to RM for help with lyrics. JK helped with Hobi's last album - and helped with I think, the Dear Army secret tract on Face. We know that the three youngest were doing some socializing with each other. I know they wanted "solo" work out there but wonder if there was some kind of agreement that they all need to NOT have RM or Yoongi involved with any producing. Why would Jimin keep everything he was doing essentially a secret? They really should get away, all together, for a week, at least, after they are all out of the military. I've been thinking that they bump into each other when they are on leave and also were seeing each other at Hybe before they went in.

Nothing could make me feel better about Muse -- https://www.koreaboo.com/news/bts-jimin-defeats-donald-trump-new-song/

It's his manager --

What rule could keep him out of the Hot 100? In less than 2 days, he has nearly 1 million streams, just on spotify; the MV is over 10M views - in a day and a half! nAnd how many places is at the top of iTunes and also purchases. WTF does he have to do? He's setting all kinds of records.
