I am glad that so many talented people worked on his MV - though I still don't understand what it's about. But - as to Jake Schreier.... Marvel is notoriously weird in the way they shoot films and shows. Chris just finished working on a show there (the show isn't done, but Chris has his job back with Vince Giliigan..) and did the "fix up" editing on a previous show Echo. It says in that tweet that Jake "was personally editing together the MV while ON SET?! Lee Sung Jin joked on insta that Jake is “the only producer acting as an on-set editor in the business” - and that is one of the issues with Marvel production. Almost all shows/movies do have editors working all during production. Marvel does not. It writes and shoots the whole thing with no post-production, like the editors, being involved. That's a big problem for quality and continuity. Hats off to Jake for doing editing while in production because he's got to be used to needing to do so to have any quality control over what he's directing/producing. It mean that if he knew during production that they needed a re-shoot or another angle, it could be done and wouldn't wind up being an issue later during post-production (which is when sound and effects and music are added, among other things) when getting any extra footage would not be possible. This MV really is like a little surreal movie. I've been impressed of almost all their MVs all along, but this is a step above. No money was spared. Tae's, too.....

Or wander around from room to room, looking confused and lost. Perhaps, and hopefully, there will be something on the full album for a legit dance challenge.

Definitely prefer Namjoon with hair on his head. This is just too fun not to share - https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5OJrdiOrQB/?igsh=ZDF3anNrbDcxdWo1

AH - but I read this morning that there was just another burst of solar activity and that I should be able to see what other locals got to see two nights ago. I was so bummed last night, Crossing fingers for tonight - and for clear skies to everyone.

I did see that it won't be as great tonight and that you need to be north of me to get any green or cool activity, but I'll hope for something, anyway -

I'll have clear skies- and we are a "dark" city because of nearby telescopes and observatories. I just need tto stay up late enough, although I just read that one should start looking soon after sunset. Also, I guess they appear more colorful in photos... Two nearly identical things about the Golden party - https://www.threads.net/@purple_lovetae07/post/C61fonRPNVI/?xmt=AQGzUNUDsMTWONgfe7aHxuGu1NQrgfnNAFiEjmMp9Nbctg https://www.threads.net/@purple_lovetae07/post/C61fhbfvKhI/?xmt=AQGzn_d-1p5HrInu7CuBTF0j5iTVX9C8YW6-2llhOagqNQ One month until Jin is back -

This incident is so on-point for Namjoon. It makes me laugh - though I suppose it shouldn't. And 32 days until Jin is out!!!!!!! People saw the northern lights in Tucson last night! I didn't because was informed they wouldn't be this far south but they were. Should be visible all weekend (nights) - maybe just No America but unsure. Something magical to check off my bucket list, I hope.

I don't know how the court could take her side. Hybe would not have made this move without ample evidence - and can afford the best lawyers. And I like the song but it is lullaby-like. The length is problematic for streaming which leads me to believe that he doesn't really care about stuff like that - he justt wanted to make what he wanted to make

While it feels too soon, I think he felt "done". It has to have been hard for him to be active at the same time as the GOAT. If not for Yuzu, he'd have far more golds. He so improved once he went to Stephane and will be missed. I expect we'll still be seeing him.

Oh, Jimin - make me cry. I suspect his mother received something similar. These guys are all so thoughtful and grateful. I wonder if their personal managers give them a heads up when a holiday or birthday is coming up. If I don't see something on my calendar, with a few notable exceptions,I won't remember something in time to send a card. I love that Jimin's dad shared- feel prettty sure the other members did similar things but we never see, say, Yoongi's parents, post something.

Wow - that is super short. No idea what the actual MV will look like. I'm expecting something amazing. I am Lachimolala Fiesta, and I'm fine with that. https://www.threads.net/@purple_lovetae07/post/C6td25ePfHe/?xmt=AQGzmy48LByfRdQj4RY2-mcMnsrDUt9gceAMizrTcRrSPg

Okay - this makes the whole "investigation" rumor make more sense. Now I would love to see the Korean press correct themselves...

She should be booted, and soon. She seems to think she's entitled to some vastly different treatment, legal and otherwise, than anyone else being charged with breach of trust. Her ability to even enter the Hybe building is a danger to the company. I haven't heard any new "news" about the inquiry into chart fixing (and how that would even be done is beyond me) - For sure, this was investigated before???? Does the ministry have to conduct a separate investigation on top of the one already done? Wouldn't they need to have had a complaint from someone NOT anonymous?

I already had it - but maybe will get it again - from Proof this time. I think I Need U is the next one that will be targeted, but then it's only four and a half days before we have to push RM to the top!

There are links in the second screen here to get us to be able to watch the Begins Youth show. I think I'll try Daily Motion because I know I can access it - https://www.instagram.com/stories/bts7oclock/3362046499796957982/

This explains it well. IF there was actual a repeat investigation, the only reason could be that there is a new president now. But, since they have already been cleared of this allegation, the story should go away soon and Hybe can bring yet another slander suit against the "journalist". I wonder if there is a larger penalty for someone caught repeatedly posting false information. I hope so. And have to think this was all brought up, again, now, to take attention away from the MHJ legitimate drama. She is sure to have cultivated unethical and disreputable "journalists" by leaking BigHit info in the last year or more.

This whole investigation is so pointless and harmful. Not just BTS but BigHit. And why would they even have tried to manipulate charts? They had already won Best Rookie, a couple of Bonsangs, and, notably, the Daesang in 2016. 2016. So why would a group who is being wildly successful and gaining popularity already, resort to something illegal, unsavory and unnecessary? They never needed to manipulate charts- especially after proving themselves the best, the winners, in all the Asian music awards, as early as 2013 ( and already getting notice in other countries - MTV European awards in 2015 and 2016.) I hope this is addressed quickly, I think that it's Hybe's policy to not even acknowledge lies and slander and false accusations until they feel it's impacting the artists.

Just for reference here: 2017 was the year Spring Day, Not Today, DNA and Mic Drop were released. This is clearly BS. I expect Bang PD to be personally involved in disputing this allegation. Why now????? Of course, MHJ - probably with the help of Lee Seonmyung. BTS will be able to withstand any bad press and speculation that comes from this while they are proved innocent. I am not happy to be missing our members on a daily basis, but I am very pleased that they are not anywhere that press or bad actors can harass them.

Can't verify the source on this but I do hope they all don't maintain shaved heads for the whole enlistment time. It seems to me that Hobi had some hair under his hat when he visited the Hope on the Street pop-up. I'd really like to see Namjoon grow his hair out when he returns.... https://www.threads.net/@purple_lovetae07/post/C6i9XKMyaFi/?xmt=AQGzxGm-uG5XkJzhVgLHtUMTF-ZJixstiH-oiQK8MO97CA

Anyone know how to access this show? Begins Youth - I don't think we have access to it. https://www.threads.net/@purple_lovetae07/post/C6gbsxttEEr/?xmt=AQGzxYGW9oUhZXRQ-NP09oqu0UuJ8SD9_l7Ba3Xeswi-Pg

I wonder how long ago this was. A while, based on hair. And that chair looks insanely comfortable ( and I don't think it looks like the one in his studio). And it really is an odd, yet clearly successful, method of creating a group to have them live together for years - and hope that they return that belief and expense with success when they debut. I don't know if Bang has had his hand in following this same formula with anyone else at the moment, or with the girl groups. The girls seem almost too young to be staying in an apartment together for a long, long time with no adult.

Yeonjun has the longest tenure at BigHit but not too much longer than Soobin. I'm trying to figure out when the decision was made for the five to be TXT. It almost seems that the final three were chosen to be in TXT, unlike the parade of trainees tested for BTS. Of course, all the people had BigHit had more experience by 2016 and 2017, but it's never been clear to me if there were other guys who were part of the lineup before being replaced. And Soobin. They all have their charms but he is not so much beautiful as just really, really handsome.

I'd guess designers would go with Yeonjun because he is the absolute skinniest. He does look fine. I'd have never pegged him for the best looking of TXT, but the stylist brought out all the best.

I love this person's YouTube channel, though I don't check it everyday. It pops up, tot watch, when I just play Dynamite (and i do that once a day, now, hoping to help it to 2B views -). She says what we think, and I like that.

I don't know how much of all the turmoil our members have been exposed to, but I don't think they'd go for this. And aren't we a kind of cult anyway? Not them - us. Wearing purple anything. Fan chants. The Begins Youth show - isn't that available on larger streaming platforms? And congrats to Hobi!!!
