I love that he's wearing a suit that would be big on Jin. Sexier? It's as if he's just now actually realizing that he's sexy at all. He's been doing the moves and hearing the screams for years, but must have woken up one afternoon and was hit by a bolt of lightening revealing the reason for all that screaming. Jin and Tom Cruise ; "the" question. Do we think Jin still wonders about that? Like Hobi finally recognizing he is (beyond) sexy, Jin finally knows that literally the whole world knows BTS (because if someone as big as Tom Cruise knows BTS.....). Tom was sweet in that call to Jin's mom - and Tom is not known, here in the states, as a particularly sweet guy, especially with people in his business (Chris did work on one of his films, Collateral.) And just a couple of weeks late, Interpark finally responded to my barrage of HELP emails I sent them way back when I was simply trying to have my ARMY membership verified - Thanks alot for your help, Interpark.... Dear Customer, Hello and thank you for using Interpark Global. Regarding your inquiry about the [password], we have confirmed that emails are being sent normally. We kindly ask you to try again. Please understand that we are unable to reset the password or send the email on your behalf. Thank you. Interpark Customer Service.

Oh, right - though his concert tour doesn't start until much later. Keeping busy....

Aside from the fact that TXT has been like little brothers to BTS members forever, I think Hobi knows Yeonjun is the one who most shares his passion for dance. The are both made of rubber. So, Jin went to Japan (probably brought home some Nintendo stuff) and immediately turned around to fly to NY? Hope he gets some sleep on the flight. When it was announced he'd be on with Fallon, I had presumed it would be a remote setup, but evidently he is willing to fly halfway around the world for the one appearance. I wonder what else he has planned on this trip.

I'm so glad he made it clear to ARMY to be gentle - don't assault him! I'm a tiny but surprised he's willing to even try this sort of event again, but it was a smaller crowd and just by asking to be "gentle and not hurt me" was sufficient. Also - Having a TXT and a BTS Live at the same time doesn't seem like a great idea. I'd think that the TXT members would be aware, at this point, that Hobi is going to do a Live after every concert.

He cut his hair? Which one? Doesn't look like a cut to me. Jin is such a sweetie - I want to watch the entirety of Wendy's show, with subs. (Still waiting for subs on his Live when the chaos occurred). Is this part of the Wendy post here? And a Tom Cruise reference (again - probably from this interview) - showing, again, how close in age Tom must be to his parents.... https://bsky.app/profile/dailyseokjin.bsky.social/post/3lpeqrzg62s2w https://bsky.app/profile/dailyseokjin.bsky.social/post/3lpep554zoc2w Oh - and an article from USA Today https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2025/05/16/jin-bts-k-pop-solo-album-echo-us-tour/83645460007/

Well, I missed the live and I suspect it will take some time to read all the group chatter. RM posted the song when he posted on Insta - so it's only Yoongi, again, who we have heard nothing from. I sure miss him. It's going to be so chaotic when they all can finally do a Live together. Can't wait. About to walk the dog and listen to the whole album. Ticket update. No. I did a lot of trying. Yesterday, before Korean ARMY would have been awake, there were less than 8K people in the queue - so now I know, with reasonable certainty, that one can expect to wait an hour for every 1000 people ahead of you, and have to keep interacting with the computer or you get kicked out. So after more than 7 hours (and I brought my open computer to the dog park, even), the queue had grown to over 17K. I swear that there wasn't a single seat available so I am going to hold off on even trying for a couple of weeks. I'll plan on staying in Seoul until the morning of the 14th just in case I can get a ticket. The bloodbath that will be their first tour looms large.

I wonder if Bam has spent the entire military time living with a trainer or with JK's family. Either way, moving back home with JK will be quite an adjustment for him. Don't know when we get to see Handsome Guys, with translations - but

Here, yes, but not in Korea - or just barely. Remember that Hobi was late getting into town for the Grammys because he was stuck in Seoul recovering and JK was stuck in his room in Vegas until that last day. I'd have imagined they'd be extra cautious but I do remember seeing video of a couple of them on the strip watching the water fountain show in front of the Bellagio and they weren't in masks.

2022 - I wonder if the guys were masked when they met them. I think that was directly after Hobi and JK had covid?

Two different things - and one is Jin on the Tonight Show next week. And I'm still in the ticket hunt. Interpark will log you out if you stop interacting with the webpage, but what do they mean by that? Do you have to touch the screen every how-many-minutes? I logged on last night and had about 40K people ahead of me but there was 4% seat availability. 5 hours later, there were still over 20K people ahead of me. That's pretty slow. I really want a ticket so I tried to stay up, basically, all night but fell asleep after about 6 hours. 6 hours and still over 10K ahead of me. When I woke up about a half an hour later, I was logged out by them with a position of 9 thousand something. (They clearly do not like me...) Not a happy girl. I'd like a full time job. I want to be able to walk away from my computer to, say, walk the dog or water the back flower garden. But how long can II NOT be touch the screen? So frustrated. And I know it's always ticket buying time somewhere on the globe, but I wonder what the best time to be on that page is. Currently at 20k with 2% ticket availability. In two hours since I logged in, it's moved by about 10k people. Time to take Bella for a walk so I guess I'll know if that's too long to be away.

Lumpens posted this on his Instagram account, leading me to believe he directed it...... It makes me feel so happy that the guys are almost for sure going to have the creative team they had before anyone had to enter the military, even though Lumpens and Sonsungdeuk now call the LA area home...

I signed in as soon as I woke up and 20k people ahead of me.....

I'll keep trying, once general sales are open. And I'll try for the Jin concert too. And when we get the next concert or appearance of any of them or all of them in soul or wherever Interpark has ticket rights, I will go into detail about all of the things I learned at 4 o'clock this morning. I can only go on the 13th because I have to be on Jeju the 14th

Two! So happy for you. And I didn't. Crushed. But learned a lot about the Interpark ticketing page that I hope will come in handy next time. (There will be one, right?) Big question is whether your number in the queue can start before the ticket selling time starts, like TM does, though they say it doesn't matter.) Tom Cruise, next to Jin, looks like pathetic old guy,

He's so thoughtful about making sure Jin gets the attention today. Is this his last bit of the tour? Strategy for tickets for Seoul: wake -up at 3:40 am (and don't fall asleep immediately) ; make sure the computer in on the Safari browser, allow pop ups, no cross tracking, list in hand of preferred/hoped for seat, credit card at the ready. I will, depending on how the queue works on that site - any info @amylance1215? -foolishly hope for those front row VIP seats, but also want front row of the first tier above the floor. Will try my best to have no one standing in front of me jumping up and down and screaming. I'm writing a list of sections and will just go down it. I'm already stressed. I have too go on the 13th - and want to anyway- because I'm due on Jeju the 14th. Jin is covering lots of genres. Wondering if he'll be in cowboy boots and doing a line dance if he does a MV for that 4th track. And his main track seems geared for all things great about Jin's voice. Can't wait.

I suspect he'll have it trimmed after his last concert. Maybe before? Reminds me of Yoongi have really long hair for his tour. (But Hobi doesn't have to worry about having it shaved off again) I can't believe I have to get up before four in the morning to try for those tickets. But I'm glad that I get to. Also, I think it's a good idea to try to buy something via the Park site even if it's something that ends up costing 12,000 won just to have your credit card registered with them. I'll still have my credit card handy in case the information isn't stored there although they say it is.

OMG - it wroked with the Sarai browser but I wonder if I need to be on Safari to buy tickets (also used the new email address)

Working on it use Chrome but will try anything

Just tossing in here, for the record, that I still am getting nothing but bull from Interpark. I tried to delete one account (not the one that is with my main email assoc with Weverse) and then to set up a new account with that email and it says the email is already registered and I can't log in. Period. So, that's not going to work. Now I'm stuck with the original issue with the original email that Interpark says "No matching ID/PW, Please check and try again." so "Please enter your registered e-mail address, then click "Continue". and I do and it says "We will send you an e-mail to set up a new password." And that's it. No password reset email message sent. No communication at all. I can't quite figure out if I should get myself a brand new email account and then get an ARMY account with that email address and start from there. Any suggestions?

Damn, Interpark Global has now sent me a third email address to write (and I have, now. Email: [email protected] ) I told them that if I don't get this resolved by the end of their Friday business day, I am going to go ahead and delete accounts with them and start from scratch. A couple of good articles to read - https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10482002 https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/j-hope-bts-growing-pains-working-solo-music-1235964869/

The theme of the Met Gala was actually Black Dandyism, referring to a flashy individual style that black men have been developed. It does involve wearing pants, however. Problems persist with Interpark. I finally got a response but they said they couldn't help and gave me yet another email address to contact. Oddly, they sent a verification email for the phone app but it's really not the full app and I can do anything like get verified on it. It's really for touristy stuff. I am going to try the "new" email and after that just delete the accounts and start from scrach.

It still says I'm not a verified member of ARMY- and I have requested a password reset. Tis has been on my Mac, not my phone. And I've written them AGAIN. I still have time and that very instructive X directions (thank you @rockstaryuzu) says I shouldn't need the same email address, just the same name. I am totally vexxed. Glad you got in....

I actually did that with my gmail acct but that's not helping with my yahoo acct which is what Weverse uses. As soon as I finally get a new password for it, I'll buy something. You can get something that doesn't cost much but does go through the Interpark site. Edit: Amy? Any advice...?

Also - NOL (Global Interpark or Interpark Global) has been changing their customer support email. The one that was there for the Jin concert is no longer being used. I am having a bear of a time getting into my mobile acct because it's not recognizing my password but when I request a password reset, they say it will be sent to my email. BUt it isn't. Multiple requests on this. I'd start getting an account with them established ASAP - and, again, use your exact name as it is on your passport. It feels like they just don't want me to see anybody in BTS. I'll keep trying.... And, truly, I can't figure out if they do need a passport pic. I am unable to get logged in, period.

Only one ticket per person allowed, per night, so your sister would have to have a separate reservation and also an account (ARMY and with the retailer) - but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to make that using her email address, etc.. It's Interpark Global. You'll both need a valid ID, like your passport, to get in (and also have the credit card used for making the reservation) but don't need to provide a passport upfront. They have a facial recognition thing also but I haven't tried it. More info on https://www.globalinterpark.com/en/ Your ARMY membership name should exactly match your ID. And I was unable to have my ARMY membership verified by them before the Jin pre-sale and even with multiple emails to their customer service AND Weverse, it never considered me ARMY. I think it might be because I got Interpark initially on my phone and was trying on my computer. Phone is likely going to be where to do the "buy" because that's also the preferred Weverse tool (though that makes me nuts as my phone screen in not big) and any ticket you score will be a QR code that will go to your phone. A queue for ticket buying, itself, doesn't start until Monday evening KST, so you should have some days to figure out the pre-verification part -that doesn't officially happen until later tonight for me. You can get an Interpark "membership" pre-verified at any time and they have lots of other things that they will give you deals for. Hmmm - any other questions? (if you have two email accounts, use the one that Weverse haas...) No payment unless you get a seat/ticket next Monday during the pre-sale. But you want Global Interpark to have that info ahead of time. Go to their info page. I;'ll be trying for the 13th, as well.
