Well, this is good news -

I wonder if some of the members (like Jimin) look at these shoots and laugh out loud later when they see it. I know he has a serious side and they all know about posing and photo shoots, but there has to be a level of disbelief from him that anyone ever would think of him as a fashion model. Same for most of the guys, Tae, really, is the only one I would think could have seen this in his future. And the Jelly thing that I don't like) - an explanation. I pre-ordered Jimin's doc without it so I don't really know what it's about. If we don't have to buy their "jelly", why would we?

I'm hopeful there will be Can airplay - but Cirkut was also involved with Seven and 3D, so it's not a sure thing. There seems to be little way of knowing just what part of either song he is responsible for, so who knows.

I concur - especially with "JK's musical judgement to some degree". I wonder why he doesn't seem to have recorded any of this in Korea with all of the writing and producing teams he's been with for a decade (who are amazing). I' m feeling a lot of Scooter here and I don't like it. Just the push to have everything in English feels wrong to me. He understands not a lot of the language and there isn't a single Korean BTS song that I would rather have in English. It's almost pushing too hard for the American market and he doesn't need to do that. I will withhold total contempt until I hear all the songs and I hold out a little hope for the one that Ed Sheeran worked on and, I hope, the main track. That one dude, Cirkut, is all over the place and is Canadian, oddly. I've looked at who he's worked with and there is no way to pin his style down, so he may cater a little more to the artist. I do wonder how Korean ARMY feel about this "all English" thing. (And Jimin and Tae are making me smile today -) Edit: Also TXT - they have really grown and are SOOOOOO good.

I'm going to be a Jin and wonder how well he's taking care of himself. He's happy, for sure. But I'm not seeing much of a balance. And is his only sleep on long international flights? Seven is everywhere -

Has anyone tried to purchase "jellies" on Weverse? I read something about Weverse only allowing VOD purchases with jelly because platforms are charging a 30% (?) fee to them to allow to use platforms (like goggle, Apple...) I was going to pre-order Jimin's production diary but am confused....

When I first saw this, I was trying to figure out why it was four and no Beomgyu and then realized what we have! Another post from the fanmeet - It's so sweet to see these two still love each other so much,

But he just got home! Maybe he returned for Jimin's birthday - and the one MusicBank. It's hard to believe that he would be recording yet another MV for Seven or even 3D. This must be something new for the new album. It would not be a surprise that it would be the same crew. He's using the same dancers repeatedly.

Oh- it’s Blue Spring that I’m in love with- not Blue Hour(on this new album)

Finally watched this and like Scooter even less now.

I connected on my VPN to SoKorea and could watch these TXT that were on Naver. Oddly, not able to get the Music Bank JK performance, though there is one fancam. And the scheduling thing - why, who at Hybe would have JK's appearance at Music Bank be at, roughly, the same time as the TXT comeback? (not sure how I double pasted - sorry)

Blue Hour. And they played this as their last song (or almost last song) when I saw them at the end of may. I love it.

TXT FREEFALL is released - and it's really really good (so far). MV for Chasing that Feeling worth a watch.

I'm not entirely sure when this interview happened - but here is Bang. Followed by a clip from the first Suchwita -

Jimin's Production trailer - Happy Birthday, Jimin! (Also read stuff about Tae on Jinny's Kitchen but there is nothing in English and nothing on Amazon Prime about a new season) And lots more - posted on YouTube earlier today -

It's a total bafflement - Who actually submitted those? It's like no thought was given to it at all, but maybe they've been burned so many times that they don't care ("we ain't about it".) No writer nominations And why not Chapter Two at all?

It's that little intro music. I LOVE "Take on Me". It's the only A-ha thing I have but it's so up/ I'm really looking forward to their new album. and the MV's And Yoongi for Samsung. I just bought a new Samsung TV. Not because of him. I like Samsung - and my old one just went dead. Dead dead. On Saturday night. New one gets here today. I do wonder how the guys promotions - as "ambassadors" or spokesmen - works while they are serving. Was it a flat fee or do they get residuals? And Jimin saying there is a song coming (and, hey, where is Jimin???) - it occurred to me last night that this one song might well be like "On the Street" and, even, "Astronaut" as his single to say good-bye for now to ARMY. Both those songs were clear messages about how they care and that they'll be back for ARMY. In a way, Yoongi's Life Goes On works for that, too.

And he is better, more mature, than he was then. Even his telegraphed approach to his 3A is better. But still has room for improvement. I hold out hope he will have more time with specialty coaches and/or gets involved with another skating school, like Stephane's. His next competition is SCI, only 2 weeks away. Practice, practice, practice.

I don't have Disney so am fine getting Jimin on Weverse. Remember all the studios are rethinking their business models - the only studios not having problems with $$ are Amazon and Apple and that's only because entertainment is just a tiny bit of their businesses - not their principal money makers. Namjoon definitely thinks too much. And in spite of all the assurances of a comeback in 2025, this is really the most sincere he's sounded about how much he misses OT7. The combined energy and the family ties. I understand that probably most of them welcomed some time away, some time off, but felt that a time would come when each one of them would long for the unique thing that is BTS.

Brian is not coaching him. He has his Korean coach and is getting extra help from others. Shae-Lynn did the choreo for his skates this year - I haven't seen them yet but did catch his short at Nepela (challenger series - and I saw his scores for the free and they were BAD) which was only a week before Shanghai - how could he possibly be able to handle those time changes? (Unlike JK - who switches time zones over and over - but also stays up all night and isn't competing). I'd have gone to see him at SCI but I leave on 11/3 to go see my son and I'd only have been home a few days between. I do want to see him at Korean Nationals and will almost assuredly be in Seoul on the 6th (unless I go to Busan instead....) and then see hm at Worlds.

Does anyone on this forum know how I could go about getting a ticket for the Korean National Championship in Jan 2024? I'd only be able to go to the last day, though possibly Sat. night, if they have any competitions then. I'll be on Jeju until the 6th and could fly into Seoul mid-afternoon. Also - do they let spectators in for practices, as they do for ISU competitions? I believe the rink is relatively small and seating is probably limited. I don't even know the name of the rink... Thanks

I want that guy's job.

Making me smile. (Where's Jimin??????)

Even if any one of the 7 gets a nomination for a Grammy, they won't win - though I 'd love to see Take Two up for group song. It might be, just because they somehow need to acknowledge how they have dissed BTS every year for at least five. We have a month to think about this one. And no idea who JK will be doing collabs with. So many rumors. THis is short but just more evidence of how remarkable OT7 is -

What a bummer! As @rockstaryuzu points out, perhaps this is just a bummer-balance to all your good luck. You can start from scratch and just have good luck now. Do go get some great food. Have you been there before? Are there no iconic sites to visit? And if 3 of Sserfim are sick , the others are likely going to get it, too. It's be a couple of weeks before the flu rolls through them all. Sad for you, but also sad for the girls.
