Wow - that is one busy teaser. Hard to have a clear idea of what the thread of the MV will be, but I'm sure it will be intense, Wow.

What a lineup! I love that TXT is at the top of the list (and it's cool that Kai's sister will be performing, too -). The fact that, at least at this point, no solo member of BTS is on the list makes me think that all promotions will be done before then. But they do say this is not necessarily a complete list....

But why is Soobin wearing a jacket that would fit Jin? While Big Hit has gotten TXT many new performance outfits, they do recycle so much of the everyday and practice gear that made the rounds when BTS was around more. I think that what we got from the other six as solo projects were individual stretches, with some surprise (Set Me Free -), but more or less consistent with what we suspected were each member's strengths, and preferences (Tae-slow and bluesy; RM-lyrical; Yoongi; rap master story teller). JK is doing so many genres on his album- and I'm already on record for not being keen on his push into explicit- that one or more of the songs will likely seem like the "real" JK. Clearly, his range is immense and he did have the freedom to explore everything and anything. Reserving judgement until I hear the whole album... Jin is so generous and kind. I am not at all surprised at the report on his actions with his trainees. But is lovely to read about it.

I am curious about the album but 1)not sold on it all being in English and written by none of the usual BTS writers and 2) just his general "I'm an adult - I need to be explicit and borderline vulgar" phase. I will almost certainly get the title song ("Standing Next to You"? or "Closer to You"?) but, for the first time, not pre-ordering the physical album. It'll do great, I'm sure, without me dropping money on it. How well it does in the charts, individual song and album wise, will (would) depend on how good the music is. There is almost assuredly going to be one song that soars. And if I like it, I'll order it . (My TXT FREEFALL album has been delayed three times - it;s not like they get this stuff out right away.) And why they always seem to fly in slides, barefoot, is beyond me. RM is all bundled up but essentially barefoot. I always have socks with me, even if I'm wearing sandals, because it's always cold on planes. Of course, in first class, they hand out slippers and socks - but I don't think that's the reason. All the members seem to be fine barefoot in conditions I would not find comfortable. And all of them seem to travel in slides... Maybe it's a lifetime of being shoe-less inside. And Jimin's hair was NOT strawberry blonde. Copper is more like it. Brassy. I bet it was just one of those temporary washes because his hair is now essentially the same as it was a few weeks ago.

He seemed to imply that there is no injury. He is "hurt" from the hard falls, but said it's his goal this year to stay injury free. And I don't go to the source for that - it was on a twitter or facebook post.

Recovering from Jun's disastrous FP and feel so badly for him. However, he's taking it better than I am. He's an interview with him from today:

I've been seriously thinking of moving to Canada since 2016. I wouldn't be able to become Canadian (even as a political refugee....I checked) but that's because I'm too old to ever fulfill the requirements. Just know that you'd need to leave and set foot in the states every year (or maybe every 6 months....I think it is 6 months). Still pondering it. Canada is just so much more civilized than the states have become. Actually, it's been more civilized for decades. Nova Scotia is the most affordable (for me) and I love it there, but it's so far from where my son lives. I'd really need BC and it's SO pricey. You could handle the climate anywhere after living in MN. Depending on what happens here, politically, in the next few months may tip me to actually looking for a place to move to. And streaming music, especially BTS and TXT, is what I need now. Not the news. I can't concentrate on anything. My brain is too filled with the horrors in the Mid East and Ukraine. I have never been able to grasp these kinds of conflicts. So pointless and brutal. And the use of the term "collateral damage" is insulting to humanity. Listen to music.

I'd like to sell (free shipping, US only as shipping elsewhere would be brutal), as a bundle - so I don't need to put them all up separately on eBay, the following: As a bundle $400 (and I will include clear files and other small Yuzu related items) Photo books : Yuzuru 2014-2018 Sunao Noto Yuzuru II 2018 Sunao Noto Yuzu’ll Be Back II 2019-2020 (Dancing’ on the Edge 3)\ Yuzu’ll Be Back III 2020-2021 Ice Jewels Season Photobook 2017-2018 Figure Skating Magazine Extra Ice Show in Japan 2019 Magazines: International Figure Skating April 2018 Olympic Winter Games Coverage Ice Jewels Special Issue Yuzuru Hanyu Pyeongchang 2018 Photobook DVD - Blu-Ray Time of Evolution (2 discs) w/original photobook Other: Phiten X50 TITANIUM NECKLACE V-EDGE 20” TG681353

Jun won't be at the GP Final. Even if he takes gold in his next competition, he won't have enough points....

Hi, I also have tons of Yuzu merch - photo books, etc. that I want to sell. What is that site you are referring to? (Any luck selling multiple publications to one buyer? It would dbe so much easier to sell it all to one person...) Thanks

Curious - I am also going to sell a whole bunch of Yuzu merch (like photobooks and DVD). I was going to sell on eBay but would love it if the whole pile could be sold as a bundle. Did you get any interest on this forum? Thanks

(to be honest - I'd have had to leave after Jun fell the fourth time. I would have watched him go to the kiss and CRY from the top of the stands and then slinked off.)

I don't remember ever seeing a top skater have a -4 deductions for falls. Kao had a great night and was at his best.

His dad grew up in my hometown (as I did) - was a singer and actor. I worked with him in the theatre the summer Matthew was born. He was born in the same little hospital I was born in. HIs grandfather lived to be 96. A legend in our town. I feel so badly for his family - and for RM.

I can't watch. Sota is great and it just makrs me feel worse for Jun. I wonder what was going on with him

I can't watch more

I could cry for him I will cry for him. I've never seen him have such a bad skate

Not his night

oh no amnd he just turned 22 this week

Not next - competition is fierce

weird music. JUN is next. (Kao looked more like be did last year - so fast for such a little guy)

He and Jun were friends when they were both at TCC. I wonder if they still are.

Conrad has almost no straight up axis when he jumps.
