When bell bottoms came back - and then tye-dye tshirts- I had a bad sense of deja vu. And for all, to sum up my trip to see Chris: we got great FREE tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld and Jim Gaffigan. Many hours and my the most I've laughed i years. My face hurt all night... We watched quite a bit of Get Back, which is about the Beatles, shot in 1969, building up to their final appearance together and album. It's nearly 8 hours long (and in 3 parts - we got half way into part 2). On Disney+ and highly recommended. And then Lexxie came back from five days of a "girls weekend". She wouldn't sit through Chasing That Feeling (Chris loves it) and wanted me to watch multiple concert videos of a group she's going to do a MV for. She wouldn't watch Yet to Come: the concert in Busan. Chris and I had already watched it. She walked out of the room after ten minutes. Someone who cares only for what she wants. And so annoying. How can 1)anyone not like BTS and 2)so rude to walk out. I'm happy to home and back on the Planet more

I'm not entirely sure (not up on all social stuff) but I do think that the 80's are back.

Never.

They never miss the opportunity to merchandise - and a recent story about the military having to change because Jin has received so much mail. And, in good BTS Korean military fashion, they are monetizing that, too. (the military, not BTS) Also - Jin's November message to ARMY has been posted, but without subs, which I think is interesting since he recorded over a year ago - https://www.koreaboo.com/news/bts-jin-forces-south-korean-military-change-communication-service/

I've watched it three times! And there is a song list from the movie (actually the recorded songs but not from the concert - but on the setlist) that you can click on right below the movie -

Very bad reviews and a mention on the "scam alert" page-

His answer is very nebulous. Not a direct answer and he has to know that a huge percentage of ARMY want to know about his enlistment plans. Interesting short interview - haven't a clue about this show....

Subtitles a bit haphazard but a nice display of their pure voices, and energy -

And I like it better than the previous 2 #1s......

The scammys make me furious - for their choices and stupidity but mostly because I know it matters to some of the members - I know a couple of you ave differing views of cigarette smoking, but we can all agree is is unhealthy (particularly for someone who depends on their voice and stamina) and stinky. And is very frowned upon in Korea - So this was kind of a surprise and a huge disappointment. https://www.koreaboo.com/news/bts-rm-accidentally-posts-smoking-picture-instagram/

Bittersweet;

It looks like it's playing on Twitch and you need to download the app. I don't hjave an Xbox but maybe it is available on there even better!

That tweet is already deleted - The image of RM shuffling around in the dragon socks and a matching sweater might work with tousled hair. He doesn't have tousled hair. More's the pity. Me trying to figure out if JK will be on at 3:30 Tucson time or what LA time? Maybe 4:30? I can figure out Korea, always, with Tucson, because it never changes. Daylight Saving Time makes me crazy. And!!!! Watching Yet to Come in Busan for the second time.....damn, I wish I could have been there.... Edit: It's going to be SO cold and he's elevated, making him subject to wind effect. Yes to thermal underwear. Please. Oh - another edit - this is from his appearance on the Today Show. Practically no stage at all. Must have been tricky holding his moves to so small a space.

Knit boots? Until I saw the close up, I thought they looked like the socks a man would wear with a kilt. I can understand why they didn't show the feet in the cover photo. And, even though all the members used to perform in shorts and various heights of socks, they are big boys now. TXT can get away with knee socks - but these aren't knee socks. These are monstrosities. Literally.

I wonder if his usual support team are with him. Having an issue with his earpiece is almost negligence. And, in addition to being cold, we all know he'd feel less than satisfied.

I think he was apologizing for the Tonight Show one - because he had to shoot it twice. Perfectionist offspring of Hobi. (didn't know about his comment regarding this morning's Today Show....) And I will add the unofficials to YouTube - and also knew you can listen on your phone (or, I guess, your car, but my car is old and doesn't have the latest technology....). YouTube has two icons on my phone; one is "YouTube Music" which is access to the lists you have on YouTube MV's and the other is to the MVs. I do know that you can't listen to one on your phone and the other on the computer, even if you are just trying for the music one while having ANY content (from anywhere) on YouTube on your computer. They only allow access to one at a time, regardless of how far apart, in distance, the devices are.....

Seriously. I read that he practices vocals on a treadmill - and it shows. And why zero explanation on RM's eye cut? One of the translators said she got a similar cut walking, hard, into a glass door. Maybe he feels he just doesn't want to say that he feels foolish for walking into a door. I hope they "glued" it - the easiest kind of stitches. I don't know if you can stitch an eye lid...

He almost sounds near tears. (like me and millions of ARMY)

One of my favorite JK quote for the day (and he said he misses Hobi, too)

So, I won't be expecting a holiday remix of the explicit version of Seven.... Jimin - what? Look at that back! And this was a tweet today but it has to be old because I know Coldplay has played this in other concerts but Chris says it's the first time :

Translation of latest long RM Instagram ....

I prefer this to the MV, actually. And, wow, can that boy dance!!!!! Good to see him in not barefeet/slides for his flight. Maybe he's just being sensible for the weather in NY - and will forsake shoes for the flight back. I have not seen any comments by Hobi, Jin ot Yoongi on his new stuff.....

This has to be the second biggest advantage to his having to do civil service (the first being that he can go home and to his studio during free time...). But I think he's not allowed to be photographed, at least in public, as both Jin and Hobi weren't, at least during the first 100 days (?). I SO hope he could go. I'll check that voice memo thing. I am not purchasing the entire album so may not be able to get it... (just iTune purchasing the ones I like.) Just checked - each version is $11. ARMY is supposed to put out an extra $44? My tech man (who I am visiting - Chris) says he believes these will be findable on YouTube - (or Daily Motion)

Wow - so much stuff! I am on my way to the airport to go see Chris. I have one article to add to all this (and will be off line for hours and hours...) https://www.allkpop.com/article/2023/11/the-impressive-filmography-of-the-director-of-bts-jungkooks-music-video
