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 -

This stunning to me that this has not been postponed or at least moved to a different city.

I'd guess high winds -

MAMA is sure to be at least postponed, I did read that all SK artists have returned to SK. I can't imagine any sort of celebratory event could go on with this tragedy still in process. With hundreds still missing? So So sad -

Well, at least one song will be in English. I wonder if it will be the cover song. That wiuld skyrocket it to the top of any chart but I have a half hope that they will choose to lean heavily into Korean

Is the urchin sauce necessary?

That's only 6????

Hadnt seen this: https://www.threads.com/@suga_anne08/post/DRW0cr9ks5N?xmt=AQF05Khsy8PGkqulkTaKxE9yHMrruti4WFlvhyk1OADSF1uLVwP6DI7JgTsABWvvctyI1c4&slof=1

I don't know how much these shoes weight but they must be tricky to dance in.

Won't work - only relief for a hangover is to make sure you drink tons and tons of water the night before.

Two posts - one from the Live but it makes me laigh and also lets me know that Jimin never lost his ability to dance even a little and has amazing muscle memory. And the other just to point out what nice guys they are.

Or ending it with ARMY. It seems, and I understand this, that Hobi gives his new products and endorsement out to just everybody. I think it's about time he sent me a jacket. I would like one with the squirrel on it. Thank you.

I don't know how he can keep up a busy practice schedule and get no sleep. What a silly guy
