  1. I agree - I think he's been working on something. I hope Hobi, but Jack in the Box almost killed him. And Namjoon looks like he's going to cry in his group photo. I know they aren't supposed to smile but he looks really sad.
  2. I have seen two locations (on Jeju) that are in the process of becoming Compose Coffee shops. I haven't seen one open but if I see one, maybe I should at least try their coffee (even if Tae wouldn't).
  3. It's always good to have other people buy the merch we want! About to head out to the otherside of Jeju to see the lava tubes and more - but will watch the second two installments on Disney+ and Suchwita tonight. A couple of tweets (one a translation of a piece of the latest Such. episode). Yoongi makes me cry. Hobi, too.
  4. Well, we know JK was killing all kinds of record - but so have Jimin and Tae - https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/music/bts-jimin-becomes-first-soloist-ever-to-have-7-songs-with-100-no-1s-each-on-itunes-charts-101703498190760.html https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/news-you-deserve-success-fans-rejoice-bts-v-becomes-1st-k-pop-soloist-solo-songs-300m-streams-spotify
  5. Awwww - I just redid all my playlists! No rest for ARMY.
  6. I'm all for us also being MOA - it will open up more possibilities for tickets when they announce their next tour. And they certainly have a lot of contect available. Subs are very very late in being put up for Lives, though.
  7. If anyone watches the SBS Christmas special (I don't know how long that show is but they sure have a lot of artists on -) I have to voice my amazement and horror at whoever it is doing costumes for TXT. Seriously - ugly. And I don't even know how they can really dance in one set. They are good, in impossible conditions. (And Kai looks much brighter and happier - maybe healthier?- than he did for their sweet mirage: finale).
  8. Everything is cute about it. Amnd makes me remember again their RunBTS voiceover episodes. So good. Naver published an article today (Christmas here). This is the translation - https://n.news.naver.com/entertain/article/416/0000302106
  9. There's also this from the 2019 concert - and Merry Christmas everyone. Noon already in Korea. I just sent a message on weverse to the members - and wonder if they ever get anything we write.
  10. Jimin is me. (But a better dancer.) This song, as his "see you later" song, as Astronaut and On the Street were, actually says what's up. He will be gone; he knows ARMY is concerned; but not to worry - they will all be back and back together. This song really says just that. They've said similar things during Lives and in interviews, but this song puts it to music with a great hook, and lyrics that are not complicated but address what are very complicated emotions for him and us. I'd say "it's simple" but it isn't - maybe it just seems so. And gut wrenching at the same time. (which is how we feel -). Still expecting a MV from this, though...
  11. Surely he didn't do all this for a stroll down a street. There must be a legit choreographed MV to follow, right? (Of course, I just did a new YouTube playlist....) And the person who posted the Jin/JK exchange doesn't have any photo of them on her Facebook page. Who is putting this info out? I'm sure JK is excelling. Jimin, too, I suspect - but JK was in better stronger shape when he went in. I did see that the numbers on their helmets are 59 and 60 so Id think they would be doing most activities next to each other, but I haven't seen any evidence of that. Probably alphabetical...? And Jin can post comments on Weverse but I guess only in response to someone else's?? I am surprised there has been no comments from any members about the success of Jimin's song. If the rules are the same for Yoongi as the others, he can't use his phone for 100 days? And that would be the 31st - he won't even be able to wish Tae a Happy Birthday.
  12. That does not appeal at all. The red bean paste one is probably tasty (and the kimchi one) but they are hue an need to be shared.
  13. I hadn't. I'm glad he didn't have to wear the tree for all of the pics.
  14. Steamed buns. Huge steamed buns. I don't even know what the yellow stuff is - and never seen a kimchi filled one, but I'd eat it.
  15. He may have been in NY for a fashion shoot. But, I hear what you're saying. He seems to have been working on some choreo, too. But if there is another Jimin song dropping, I would think it won't be immediately. But what's with the choreo? I do wonder what he was doing in NY. And what were he and JK up to in Japan? Probably just a private trip (and I kind of hope that's the case) but who knows? The last four in were more aware (certainly more aware than Hobi) about producing content to dribble out while they are gone from us.) I have this little hope that there is another OT7 song coming but Take Two was probably the last. They were so busy those last few months before Jin went in.
  16. It looks like the bulk of the beginning of this was shot when he was working on Face. and then some much more recently. We can add him to Jin and Hobi making MVs (and songs) specifically to reassure ARMY.
  17. Translation: (also - I think the documentary will be bouncing back and forth in time - they aren't done with the first seven years yet - (see preview before the translation - I tried to put it after but no cooperation - and it does seem to start up where the 2nd one ended and I expect they will show a lot of how they made the pandemic work for them. They still haven't even really shown much about the "almost quitting" part.)
  18. What did he do? Almost any successful artist or athlete does not emerge whole and without assistance anyway. Once a recording company gets their hands on an artist, they become as managed, or more so, than Korean artists. And, yes, BTS (and TXT) have evolved - pretty much exclusively due to their own creativity and hard work growth. Also -
  19. An easy series to get sucked into - but now I know more about what Americans mean when they diss K-pop as not organic but created. Still, it's also clear that this entire department is a result of what they learned from BTS as they were developing. It really shows more and more how important Namjoon has been ot the success of BigHIt.
  20. It's interesting to see how much time each member takes up in this. RM still very much the leader and spokesman (and, in a way, I had thought of him as the spokesman because he could speak English, but that's just a late addition to his spokesman role). Obviously shot when Yoongi was still recuperating from surgery. JK speaks so softly and Jin almost not at all. Tae finally adds something. Worth the watch and we see a dynamic. Hobi so Hobi and honest about how he always always wants perfection, to make it better - and has always been that way (and we see that even in early practice videos). Can't wait for the Disney+ documentary (and hoping that the 20th means the 20th in Korea....). I also think that all the new content all the members teased before they went in to the military will be released in spaced doses.
  21. I love that the merch is made in Busan but the store is in Japan. I guess his dad sells merch out of his cafe in Busan, too. He wouldn't be able to use anything that Hybe "owns" so Young Forever is a stretch. Now I think more of spending a day or two in Busan just to go to his cafe (and also the temple that is there that looks amazing.)
  22. They aren't "quality" photos. I take Weverse's word. If the ministry of defense is making money off the members (and that wouldn't surprise me) I still think Weverse would step in. Why would they have released a statement about rogue photos is they felt or knew they were legitimate? The only photos I've seen that I feel are okay are the ones of Hobi taken by, and with, graduating recruits. Anything "candid" just seems that it would be not approved - especially as they are in uniform. We couldn't even see the uniformed members at the recent entrance ceremonies except the one or two official photos of the seven.
  23. There is an announcement somewhere on Weverse that any photos of the members not released by Weverse are infringing on the privacy of members and ARMY is encouraged to not repost or otherwise engage with whoever posts them. There should be NO photos coming out of the four new military members (unless through Weverse and they aren't releasing any.). There must be someone in the unit with a phone camera (meaning they have a phone meaning they've been in at least 100 days) who is taking these surreptitiously and, for all we know, selling them. Note: no photos of RM and Tae. The army takes that 100 day thing pretty seriously, and no pictures of military in uniform, period., and it's Jin's unit so I hope he gets to the bottom of it (if he knows about it). I was cheered by how the members were "becoming" just regular Korean young men and it's annoying that there are those doing this. I love seeing photos of our guysm anytime, but I;d rather wait until the photos are legitimate Weverse releases.
  24. There are probably quite a few recruits who do not have the education (or even close) to our members. And the few pics I've seen of group activities makes me think that the whole group is lined up in alphabetical order... And it's SO cold on Jeju and brutal in Seoul. I really hope all the guys are staying warm. A bit of Hobi news -
