And I left Seoul today, too (actually later on Wednesday than it is right now....FYI United is an awful airline. Bad food, squished seats, about 45 degrees during the flight -brrrr). MIssed the guys... oh well. Exhausted and still have a bit of a wait to get to Burbank. I am envious of those getting to go to Jin concerts, and can't wait for the VIP experience reported. I saw the TXT showcase when it was streaming live. Agree that it is uneven, but the performances were great. More after I wake up. And again - do not take United unless it's you last resort.

TXT set a massive sales record though. YouTube will give me one MV to 10 "songs". Who knows... it shakes out. And i was way beat on this story - I hope they ail these people. Set an example. https://www.instagram.com/p/DMZgWJeszpg/?igsh=MXYyZ2VtamdtM3gwcw==

I was wondering the same thing. Why wouldn't they all fly together? Unless they went back already the same way they came, under the radar. People can keep trying to take down Hybe but they're not going to

Great - something fun to watch after the mystery I need to finish. (Also in the insanity of packing after being here 5 or 6 weeks and trying to get the house clean with a dog that truly sheds more than any other dog alone.) 6 months - wow - and his arm muscles don't measure up to Jin's right now

They really haven't easily embraced the non-Korean age thing. I think becoming an uncle would have more of a "I'm getting older" impact. He should watch that Jin live when he calls the chaos Live ones his "babies". He'll always be a young one to Jin. I guess he was doing a mic test but when I caught the end of it live, I thought he was testing to see if he could do a "short" live instead of a 2 hour one. And their sleep schedules must be all out of sync. Tae has talked about trying to break out of his "wake up at 6:30 military" thing, Namjoon has insomnia, Jimin was, thankfully, asleep when this live happened. They will need to all be awake during the same multiple hours every day if they're going to get anything done. And still no horrid ICN tv live feed watch so I hope the three flew to the states incognito

Someone has a "stanning bts" podcast that I subscribe to but haven't listened to yet.... they actually haven't updated a bunch lately but there are lots of YouTube people (Hybe boy comes to mind) who post almost daily. So much content!!' I do think they are planning on going back to basics but I really don't know what that would actually mean c musically. Theyve all grown individually, exploring their individual "flavor" and I expect what they produce now will be even more layered. And they laugh at how they looked and acted when they were brand new and are far too sophisticated to return to that "look". Someone posted that No More Dream will now be Dream. more spoilers needed. Wanted. there are no reports of their return to the US so maybe they have been able to slip back the way they came. Hoping for a group Live ASAP, like before Jin leaves for his next gig so would have to be soon-

I just love seeing them so happy and normal. And having an appropriately great time. My hope is that - remember when they used to travel, when on tour, on private jets?- that they take a private jet to maybe Narita and then an international flight from there. I don't know how ICN operates the private jet part of the airport but it's possible that they could go through ICN, arrive on a small jet, and get on an international flight from there, though that's a little less likely since they'd have to go through some security thing. Whatever they did getting over, may they do going back.... And I watched the replay of Jin at Osaka this morning - and noticed at the end that the band members all had on that plaid shirt that JK put on at Jin's Seoul concert. For those seeing the shows henceforth, look and see of that's a thing. It really is a great band.

Thanka for that infoon when audio was recorded. I'd wonder about the new CD they're selling but I already have access to PTD in LA on Disney, I think and I just don't need to spend that much to see more of a concert we've seen lots of times. Namjoon talking at the wedding. I am still just stunned that they were able to get out of the states and into Korea with no press or fans hounding them, So refreshing for them. I really hope that can ninja their way out of Korea the same way, the three of them, together. Seeing them all smiley and laughing and natural makes me happy.

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089900703950 several photos in this one I guess we know why we haven't seen Yoongi and why Namjoon was in a car posting at 5 am LA time yesterday. I am so pleased that they were able to fly under the radar.

With all those great Jin posts (that I love and really wish I could see his concert) and his suit look and his shoulders with his jacket off, this post of JKs almost brings tears to my eyes, Jung Kook of BTS. I hope this silences the solo stans that have been pushing to get JK to go solo and abandon BTS. No doubt, his solo work was extraordinary. He shone HUGE. But he has always been Jung Kook of BTS. I think all of them believe that any solo success is because they were BTS for a decade and owe their artistic growth, in large part, to their hyungs and their work together. I sure wish Yoongi would do a LIve.

Oh, same Yongsan Police Station did this investigation. Maybe some of the corrupt higher ups there will get swept away.

And then there's this -

Itaewon horror is being re-examined at the instruction of the new prez- i wonder how they recorded the concerts - through the mics? And not what we heard? And the crown is TOO loud but what comes from the speakers is great- so whatever that was should be the recording. They do a lot of talking in concerts. At least PTD but that gave them a bit of a rest, especially since it was all OT7. I now know that the last half hour of any BTS concert is 80% talk. TXT does the same thing. And don't give any bad Bang press any clicks. mhj still has a lot of influence- he'll be cleared. The K-press just wants something negative about BigHit. They really so own Yoongi a huge apology. Public. They really put him through the wringer- that police district, too.

And one of the first things he said was about his "babies" - referring to the members... A link to a YouTube list of songs to push to 2B views- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDV9CQkxDUNDww4IdSbJDSDBPM0GVc-bj But, YES!!!! And I dobn't have a Samsung but I know some of oyu do (or at least @rockstaryuzu does)

I do have Spotify Prime so am on the Weverse sponsored listening party that is nearly finished with On, so the very first song - oops , just changed to Fire

It does say "package" so it must be something in addition to regular admission. A Yoongi post from who knows when -

I was just about to post this same thing.... I connected with Spotify.... But I really don't know what time it starts... is it KST or what? Edit: evidently the listening party is at 1pm KST but the VOD of PTD Seoul is released at 10 am KST - was that a thing we were given a offer to buy? I guess the CD must be coming out at 10am KST then? I am confused. Also tired. So guess I'll have answers tomorrow morning...

Love Pdogg - and I hope he's with the members in LA. Helping with Jin here, but he was with Jimin for the entirety of Muse.

Full Insta post (form X), no subs though, as far as I can tell, it's mostly his playlist and a sleepy JK - and Jin's first soundcheck...

I think all Instagram lives and reels disappear? And Tae is just trying to make us crazy,

That would be enough to get me to watch it! I watched the entire "when the stars gossip" because Jin did one OST for it for one episode (though it was played, in part, on subsequent episodes (and starred Lee Minho and that was also a factor).

Truth:

Yes - for @Faithyu because there's nothing like having a translation of Korean into yet another language I don't know. I love that he's in half stage clothes and a pair of shorts, I wonder if Netflix will need to pay JK or BigHit for using his image for promotion. I did see something he said about needing to return to Seoul for something before he goes to LA. No word on Jin departure from anywhere -

But he was at the SF museum of modern art. I don't understand.... And JK was trying so hard to keep his eyes open. And signed off as TXT started a Live. I had to think "didn't they check to see if BTS was on?" I am sad that Hobi thought he could do better in what will be his final solo concert (he didn't point that out. That's me). So much to keep us happy in the last 24 hrs. I have to watch the Lollapalooza full show.... I don't need another Live tonight, please. There is such a thing as too much. And I actually left the house when JK was in his solo Live, believeing he'd still be on when we came back from the beach, and he was. He is to "long" Lives as Tae is to "short" Lives.

Jimin and JK on Live right now
