I’d say she’s beyond terrible. But he must be pleased someone is covering Jimin- Tiffany nails his jewelry appeal, although I personally think of him as a complete human being. We all have traits from the full gender spectrum. As beautiful as Jimin can be, he always seems fully male to me. (And now I’m breathing a little harder….)

I hope not but that's just me. And interesting - what US entities are slandering BTS?

Cartier making their intentions clear a full year before they would even be able to take a single photo of Tae wearing anything Cartier. (And it certainly looked like Gucci is courting Jin.) Also -- Yoongi.

I love that they say they are collaborating with Wootteo. Wootteo is not an actual person. It's like saying a company is collaborating with Chimmy. The members were the creators of the BT21 and Wootteo. There is some partial ownership by Line Friends but BTS still seem to have at least some ownership of their own created characters, so Jin must have had a say in this. Makes me laugh.

What an idiot! So improper. She was beyond lucky to be a hug winner. Maybe she couldn’t help herself, but restraint is what all the members hope for in ARMY. I guess the fact that it was only one in 1000 is good. I should have had her spot- I’d never assault Jin. He must have been a little freaked out.

It all closed at 9. But I am fine with missing the massive crowds. Last year, it is estimated 400,000 people attended all or parts -- I did spend time at it but that's just too many people for me.

In regards to the letters- agree on the interpretations. Jungkook is going to miss Jin especially. He even gave him a little butt slap at the gathering outside the base, and I bet that wouldn’t have been okay IN the base, as Jin was a senior officer. I love that Tae is slipping away to do some dance moves (hope Jimin is staying dancer-flexible) but it is no surprise at all that JK is having a tough time. They all love to perform (and seeing Jin SO happy with ARMY showed that) but none of the 7 like to sing like JK does. He never didn’t sing. And really was into doing his Lives and singing there, too. Jin will be conscious of how JK is doing and will probably make a point of texting him and messaging him and arranging to see him. He has always looked after his youngest hyung. And TXT wanted a world tour. They are getting some breaks and it’ll be the same show that they have been doing so I don’t think they will be working on new material for that, though working on new for later. I really hope they do get a In the Soop kind of deal in the next six months.

Oh, look, you can rent what you could also have bought. But only with "jelly" and I thought they'd gotten rid of jelly... https://x.com/weverseofficial/status/1801479752169230434?s=43

I am almost over jetlag and so sorry I wasn't able to stay in Seoul a full day - but I did get to watch the livestream live. A couple of posts, but wanted to know if anyone else noticed the burn on JK''s left arm? And the cardboard placard that Jin wore was specifically to honor the sensitivity of female ARMY hugging him - guess he would have felt it wrong to have all those breasts hugging him (he is SO honorable). And the handshakes were for Muslim fans. Wow, I wish I'd gotten a hug. I read that friends outside were hugging the lucky ones to try and catch a scent of Jin. If you haven't seen his relatively short concert, try and find it. Just as he rode off on a bicycle in the Astronaut MV, he rode into the stadium on a bicycle. I was so impressed with his voice and dancing. I bet JK taught him the Seven choreo. And this is absolutely amazing - like the universe is in tune with us. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8K4EHepykc/?igsh=aW1wMG12ZHVmMTBx

!!!!!!!! That's after Hobi is back, too. And global announcements of Jin. I am so proud to be ARMY. He is just as sweet and sincere and lovable. And WWH, even if he doesn't see it. Off to Jeju - have to prepare some questions for the live!

And not only is this such an amazingly sweet family photo, only Jin is wearing military gear. I hope, because it's clear that they all did get a leave, even if a short one, that they had a long dinner together. Even if Yoongi didn't get the day off -- he lives in Seoul. I rewatched the Suchwita with Jin and Jin pointed out that they would see each other throughout the military time because they live about five minutes apart. That will mean, I hope, that Jin won't be going into friend-withdrawal. OK -- i need to go to bed.

I fly free standby IF a seat is open -- which is the big deal with United tending to fill their flights up. I wouldn;t have gotten on the direct flight to Seoul. They make me crazy. The biggest plus with Osaka is that they don't upgrade regular passengers so standbys -me - can get first class. It was all day traveling and I got to the hotel too late to make the food fest and the giant RJ. Boo. Going to Jeju tomorrow so will miss anything happening here. Just catching up with all the posting and will watch the JIN live as I go to sleep. It just make me cry tto see how much Jimin misses Tae. And their genuine love and concern for each other. I hope the coming year goes quickly.

Osaka bound! In first class! RJ made it happen.

OK - so, as oof now (and everyone needs to cross fingers), I'll be getting to Seoul via Osaka tomorrow. Well,, today. I can get four hours of sleep max. Seoul flights crazy full. But, God willing, I''ll be in Seoul by earl evening the 12th. Plan to check into my hotel and then head out to see giant RJ. i have to go to Jeju on the 13th bit mmaybe can catch any early celebrations. So excited, I''ll take lots of pics of all the Jin stuff. Prayers for Osake11!!

I read this on several separately sourced tweets/threads. It is totally in their character to do this. I doubt we'll get an actual photo of the 7 of them - I'd say il's not allowed but then we've seen pics of Tae and RM. Maybe they have to be in uniform? But only if in public? They could meet at one of members place ay Hannam Hill. Very private. Or Hybe. It will be very emotional, I'm sure. But in character. They truly are family. Hope we get more updates on that. How and when I get to Korea is up to seat availability, but may well be there the evening of the 12th,, in which case I'll try to go see giant RJ. Mostly, I just need to get on a flight. Fingers crossed.

I know this was at a concert for "a performance at military event in Chuncheon. but amazed that they allowed him to be out so publicly. It must he been controlled totally by military (and he is backstage) but still. He seems, really, to have chosen a division that allows him to do almost normal stuff. So sweet and respectful.

While ARMY is always good with buying and streaming, I really think that the military hiatus has made anything that comes out do even better because we are so thirsty. But I also think when they OT7 comeback, they are going to blow all records out of the water. No direct flight from Osaka to Jeju so I'd have to go through Gimpo. So, for sure, if I can get to Seoul on the 12th (fingers crossed, everyone), I will poop for a hotel and go over to see giant RJ, though I probably won't be able to get to it until 6ish or 7. It opens at 4 so should be plenty of time. Now I have to see where that new Line Friends store is and try to get to it before, exhaustingly, head back to the hotel so I can get to Jeju the next morning, (or not - I need to look at times.... I hate that Seoul is mostly an impossibility this trip but will have four or five days there in September. I won't feel like quite such a "loser" if I get on one of the flights I want and get to see giant RJ.

Well, i'm feeling pretty damn sorry for myself, having missed all Red Bullet and most of Wings and then was too hot and exhausted to watch naything else. I'm glad tthaat some of the special moments are available on YouTube and I'll watch later after I'm a little caught up with all I couldn;t do yesterday. Electric was restored about 6 hours after it went off. 2 of those hours had some daylight. Damn, it was hot. I am sorry that I 'missed' and why do they say it like that? my hug. Now Ill have to find him on Jeju, but do not want to do anything that feels like stalking, and pretty much all my ideas do sound like stalking. Less stress for getting on a flight but still enormous amounts of stress. I may fly to Osaka and get a flight directly to Jeju from there, though then I'd miss giant RJ and the food fest (and maybe a chance too spot Jin?). United is, as usual, making me crazy. I need some BTS. And also aa ton of energy to do everything I've left to do for today and tomorrow.

I can’t believe I can’t watch BangBangCon - and for a horrible reason. I haven’t had power in over 4 hours. This on a day when it was 110°. An hour and 15 minutes ago they said that was when it was supposed to be coming back on. I’m trying to decide if I should go check and do a hotel with the dogs. My computer is almost out of electric, my phone is dying and the only Internet I have is through my phone. So I could only watch part of a thing at a time and the buffering is terrible. Also, to top it all off I “missed” the hug .

Thanks. It would be 9 except that AZ doesn't do daylight saving time so in the summer we are essentially on Pacific time now. We have more daylight than we can use, as we are getting daily highs of 41 to 42 degrees C. Mornings start at 24 degrees C so there is no time when breathing outside is comfortable.

I still can't determine when this starts my time. It might actually be primetime - like 8pm, but i won't be able to watch more than Red Bullet.

Yup - I got back and wondered where you were. I am beginning tto feel very overwhelmed with how much I still have too get done before I leave.

I couldn't get any stream either so I am very confused. Did they mean 12pm at midnight or noon on the 8th because if noon, we should be able to see them now. Mybe it's just off by a day (?). A JK interview. Every now and then, I wonder if the members (or anyone) is as sincere as they seem. But I believe it totally.

MHJ truly does "own" NewJeans, which is really unfortunate for them. They are just little girls and she has really, ultimately, managed to destroy them and I'm not even sure they know what's happened to them. It's child abuse. I know that Hybe has stated that they'd stand behind them and promote their comeback, but clearly they can't do that without the cooperation of the girls themselves, who must believe everything MHJ has fed them, including that they are somehow superior in every way to BTS. JKs new song. Peppy and fun, but I'm not crazy about it yet. Maybe after I hear itt ten times in a row tomorrow when I'm walking the dogs.

And this - I feel I need a daily BTS fix and the military is getting in my way.
