What airport is this? At Incheon, there is absolutely no way to be in the gate area until you have a boarding pass and have gone through security. I am also going to wait for BigHit announcements of enlistment dates - but I believe that when Jin went in, he had chosen that base because he would be getting more days off, being near the front lines. Haven't a clue if that's true or not. But both Hobi and Jin went in on Tuesdays. The supposed date for Jimin and JK is a Tuesday. I had thought, maybe, that Tuesday was the day training started all over - but it may be a wrong assumption. But clearly Tuesday is the day for the bases that Jin and Hobi went to. It's only a couple of weeks away. I am not ready.

More temptation to pay the big money to get the PtD digital only deal -

Jimmy was unable to shoot his show while the writers strike was on so had many empty months when he could have gone to Korea.....

I'm guessing that the Indonesian fans may have an affinity towards Palestinians because Islam is the predominant religion there. I, too, think the Chinese fans had a great idea. I'd like something that will have an actual positive impact (which a billboard will not). Maybe we can, or someone can, look at something or someplace he's donated to before - one of those big donations that we hear about after they've done it. And London? I am really curious what he's up to.

We can still hope - he is getting an award. It's a toss-up if one is about to be more or less restricted in all things: go to get a last ARMY boost with my two friends or go someplace warm where I can swim and have some alone time? Since we know that there will be coverage of his departure, I guess we'll see then. If it's at Gimpo, then Japan (though you can get further away than that from Gimpo). If Incheon, then an international flight on a big plane.

Well, JK and Jimin will be there to accept awards. Question remains if Tae will, too. And if BTS wins, I guess now they can go up on stage, as Hobi did, to accept.

That went fast....tim,e to get dressed and walk the dogs (who are still sleeping)

I'm watching on a 17" laptop. But then, I'm sitting in bed with two dogs, and my electric blanket on, drinking coffee. The dogs are sleeping in.

I don't think I understand why he takes such a break between doing one or two dances....

I was thinking - damn, this is a short show, I thought he did lots of his older stuff. Just fooling us. And as much as he has enjoyed the attention he's gotten and his solo appearances in the states, etc., he is someone who prefers to not carry a show on his own. He loves being part of the team

oddly, if i comment on the planet on my phone, the comments don't get posted. Such a tricky proposition having two screens on my computer fgoing while having the show on the phone too so i can comment there and post up hearts

Baz is a strange but amazing director

I love seeing him eating and eating and eating. Subs only on my computer and not my phone app. Back to music

I really want to hear what he has to say. I think this is a good size venue for him. He may have wanted big but he is also nervous. Way more nervous than I thought he'd be

Not my favorite - but don't dislike it so many songs are SO short

I won't chat much when he's talking because I won't to read his comments. Music - I am here (unless it's a crzy dance. ) And I should wake up any minute now

subtitiles working on Weverse on my computer - English in WAY donw the list and you keep having to scroll down to it.

About pop up stores-

JT was 21 or 22 when he said that about Britney, 21 and 22 yr old guys are not known for discretion. Jimin, JK and Tae are all nominated for MAMA's - in the same category. (Hobi and Yoongi both nominated, too - against each other) and BTS has two noms. If JK or Jimin knew in advance that they are winning, maybe they would go. Or maybe will go for the group - but we haven't seen any solo member appear FOR the group unless they've already won a solo award at that show. If JK wins, does he go up along for BTS? Ditto for Jimin? Would they both? Only a week and we'll know. But I kind of hope JK and Jimin are having a lovely vacation together, away from the public eye. And I am so unclear on what time the watch party is with the time change

I keep seeing articles sent to me from Google (I get Yuzu and BTS updates) saying that JK confirmed he'd be IN the military in December. Multiple reports (or mis-reports). I haven't seen anything from BigHit....

I think JT is amazingly gifted - don't know that much about his personal travails, but I'd certainly take anything Britney has to say with a huge grain of salt.

Do some saesangs and a press member of two live at the airport? (Having been, it has always been press-free when I’ve been there.) how do these people even know? I hope they can have some alone time unharassed on this trip

And I was thinking about the Asian awards shows coming up - I don't think four of them would show up representing BTS because they have not appeared as BTS with less than the full 7. Hobi accepted an award for them at one the shows last year but he'd been nominated (and won) for his solo work. If one or more are nominated for solo work, then the same would likely happen. I don't know who would win for what and I think they are in direct "competition" with each other. With that being the case, I wouldn't imagine any of them going because unless one knows there is a win for him, going would look presumptuous. Guess we'll see -

Charles has an awareness of cultural importance - and BTS has been compared to the Beatles before (next week the 60th anniversary of the rel;ease of I wanna Hold Your Hand!!) I don't know about the radio silence thing before they enter a training camp - Jin had his last live on his birthday and just got up and left without saying goodbye - and he was in the military within two weeks. Twitter has been busy trying to make us feel better - And I guess those official letters on Weverse do get read - at least by Tae. (And there must be a "clearinghouse" for military mail.....maybe goes to one central location and then distributed, but we do know what base Jin is at and Hobi is at so it's not like giving us a mailing address would reveal anything we don't know-)

I think it will be at least a month before any of them actually enter basic training. The time between this notice for Jin, Hobi and Yoongi and their actual entrance date was 6-8 weeks, I believe. MAMAs are in a week (?) and the MMA the first week of December. I believe that none of the four will be gone in the next couple of weeks. I should think they can do what they want and appear where they want until the day they actually enter the base.
