Hats off and awe for following seven groups! How do you keep all the names straight in your head? I had to pare down to just two. Our members and TXT. It took me a little while to figure out how to unfollow on Weverse and I certainly can see all the other groups being promoted on there, but I'm content with the two. Okay - this may be special for @rockstaryuzu or maybe it's @Old Cat Lady or maybe it's me! All of us. Look at the size of this man's waist. Good lord. You have to click on the post to get the full picture. You might want to take a deep breath first.

I'm putting him a KLM flight tomorrow at bit after noon. He can sleep on the plane. “This is the end of the tour but not the end of our journey” And the show has ended - how long before we get it on YouTube? And a rumor that Jimin went? If so, he gets the prize, again, as most supportive member.

Looking for the emoji with the tongue out to the ground. That's more Jin skin than he's every had on stage. And streaks put into this hair - he went all out for the last show. And I bet we'll get a a lot more. He wore the JK shirt for soundcheck. He is moving towards "home". (and now I'll cry....)

Maybe? He's being very cryptic. So RM - what g? Hybe is spending a lot of time and effort promoting Cortis. I get that it's important to them, business-wise, to have another successful group, but I hope they keep promoting TXT, who seem to be less visible - the Cortis boys are so young, it's easy to forget how young TXT and BTS were as trainees. Looking forward to the first OT7 Live when Jin is in California (and hopefully, rested a bit).

Oh, Jin (of BTS)!!! I missed the live but will watch it. And didn't go to the concert in the end. That's okay - on YouTube, there is a good FanCam of Day 1, London and a not as good one of Day 2. I bet todays show is on there soon. I hope that TXT has had sufficient time for promotion before all the Cortis stuff takes over. I have limited bandwidth (and limited money) so will stick with BTS and TXT for $$$ outlay. I'm a bit sad realizing that Jin's last show tomorrow will be the last concert/performance by any one or more BTS members. It hasn't happened yet, but it feels like a drought coming. Streaming kings (and remember to vote for Jimim on the stinking MTV video award site -)

I'm trying to decide whether to go to the cinema concert or not. If somebody is going to the first one that starts in about 45 minutes, post about whether or not any of the other members show up for it. That will be my determining factor, since I've already spent as so have so many of you so much money on live streams, etc. of this very show. Of course, some have spent more because they went to the actual show, or were lucky enough to get a ticket and then spend a fortune.

This is the Rolling Stone article Namjoon just posted about on Instagram- https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/bts-members-best-solo-songs-1235390475/

She is SO tiny! She makes all of the look really tall. I'm still so happy for them that they got to go to this, and mostly under the radar.

How does something like this get organized? I know how much the members are touched when they have a surprise like this from ARMY. Like 2019 at Wembley. Must be something the UK ARMY has mastered,

Incredible review for Jin by Rolling Stone UK (I have a link to the article after the twitter post - https://www.rollingstone.co.uk/music/live-reviews/jin-live-in-london-review-52642/ And, behind the scenes of the ad for Dongwon tuna. (Jin is everywhere -)

Waiting for a report from @Whoopiewoop on these. What had ARMY prepared for him? And the five out for dinner (where is JK?). Even Yoongi smiling and relaxed. (Thank you,, Jimin and Hobi -)I think being in SoCal, in an upscale community and going to an upscale very expensive restaurant is why they can go, un-mobbed. Lots of very famous people live in that area and that means that most are treated like "normal folk". I love that for them.. And the Hobi/Soobin call. I wonder who arranged that? 16 hr time difference, so this evening inn CA is early afternoon for Soobin, who is so respectful and sweet to tell Hobi that he's the best thing to come out of Gwangju (which is true -) I thought I was a way old ARMY - but she's probably not much older than me, but looks it - this is a funny post and she has a bunch. Now I'm following her soo I can get her reaction to the theatre Amsterdam shoow. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMR6Fj_uI2C/?igsh=NjZiM2M3MzIxNA%3D%3D

Waiting for Jin to do a Live of him eating his dinner....

I think it's HB should wise up and sell this worldwide. He is gorgeous, as are the photos. And on the business front (and Bang returns to Korea to face the "witch hunt" proceedings: (click on it as the second half of the posting is great -)

Doesn't royal mail have any responsibility for destroying something? I know you package your stuff really really well so they must've tried hard to smash it. I know at this moment you are already at O2 and ready to go and I am so jealous of you Silvia. The energy is so contagious, I can feel it here!💜

Day of nothing and the a flood of great new stuff. Including Yoongi!!!! I hope Namjoon isn't sad. He did get to hug Mickey Mouse and probably didn't have to wait in line. It'll be so nice when Jin gets there, too.

OK - as we suspected.

Haven't you? Is Andrea's sister there? She is late to BTS but served as a great person to take pictures of @Whoopiewoop in front of all Festa displays. Hey, I'd go too with that price. It really isn't all that much, especially last minute. I have been encouraging @rockstaryuzuto go the second night. There seem to be lots of tickets one can get, depending on how much you're willing to spend. And @Old Cat Lady is making sound like her youth is gone. No no. Even I am in my youth when it comes to these people. I didn't count on being self supporting on a limited old lady income and could have planned better, or married better (actually, I had - Chris' dad is from money and I am sorry sometimes I left him. At least Chris will benefit. And I'd rather do the occasional happy splurge than save it all (what all?) for some rainy day we'll never b=get in AZ. Not really a big fan of Katseye but am impressed with how far they've come in a short time. Hard work and lots of practice. They've had Songdeuk training them. And TXT started working out, I think, in response to Tae and JK. https://www.instagram.com/p/DM9UAJdP1bd/?img_index=1 He wants to go home?

I am speechless with all the instagram and twitter posts. Love candid shots of the guys. Michel Jackson tribute? There is no way they were in in Ireland together in the past three plus years. If they recorded something, it was long before Oct 2022. I don't know if this article will come through - but the Live album has made a record and matched Taylor Swift, so there's that.... https://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2025/08/03/bts-matches-taylor-swift-in-a-rare-chart-feat/ TXT is doing SO well: https://www.soompi.com/article/1764302wpp/txt-breaks-billboard-200-record-as-the-star-chapter-together-debuts-at-no-3 "Billboard has published its World Albums chart for the week ending on August 2! BTS’s first live album “PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LIVE” topped the World Albums chart this week, in addition to debuting in the top 10 of the Billboard 200. BTS’s 2022 anthology album “Proof” also stayed strong at No. 8 in its 163rd week on the World Albums chart, followed by Jin’s solo mini album “Echo” at No. 14 (in its 10th week on the chart) and Jimin’s solo album “MUSE” at No. 15 (in its 53rd week)." I am so anxious for a live from the six in California - but at least we are getting something (no Yoongi.....)

Why is this news just coming out now? When would they have recorded it and where? And, wow, I wish people would stop calling them a "boy" band. (Good to see that Kai's sister is still active -) I don't know why this hadn't shown up before.....

I'm waiting to get Apple TV as of Nov 7 when Chris new show, Pluribus, comes out. Limited run - last episode is Dec 26 so I hope there is a 2 month trial! I think the cover photo is his Aug surprise. Must be. A bit disappointed we haven't gotten more chaotic (or calm) Lives from California. Everyone but Jin is there and I'm sure they are busy but, hey, come on guys.... And why hasn't Kai's sister done a dance challenge with him (or anyone lately)?

His speech about the memebrs melts my heart. Having fun, but I bet he's tired - Who was the third guy at the airport? So glad they weren't mobbed.

Where is he? Okay - this is a horror. And absolute horror and I hope that the US loses the World Cup soon (and possibly the Olympics) and hope the members don't cut the US out of their tour, though I wouldn't blame them). There are two stories here about the same thing but one just looks horrific and scary. ICE is evil. It really wouldn't surprise me if countries, including Kores, start warning or forbidding, citizens from traveling here. https://www.instagram.com/p/DMt2520BIMI/?igsh=OWY5cmRzMmYzaHps and this https://www.instagram.com/p/DMtyGcUT3an/?igsh=bHRiZmxkZXE2cG1i But this, though not surprising, news about Jin.

Just a note to say I have NEVER had gel polish but mostly because I rarely have polish at all and when I do, it's just my toes. I think that because I never wore polish growing up, it just feels wrong. Like my nails are suffocating. Sound like the concert was amazing (not surprised). I don't think I'd like not being able to see the screens, especially if there was a lot of the back of his head from where you sat @Old Cat Lady. But it doesn't sound like you were remotely disappointed. I think if the Maknae line planned anything, that would include Jimin, at least. And should include Jin.. We know why Jungkook and Tae went to Korea, but how much time have the three of them spent together, in order to practice anything? If they are going to announce anything that involves the maknae line, it would be an announcement only,.No way the four of them would have the time to practice together. And if they did go on any sort of tour, how will OT7 practice and record and do choreo for their upcoming tour? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Perhaps they should read this (as I sit at SFO for hours....)

Scream away. Just don't stand behind me. ( I understand the inability to be quiet under the circumstances). I just hate screaming - not the screamers. And I completely agree with not worrying about taking video. I think I've wasted way too much time taking videos when I should just be watching. You do want one or two pictures but that should be enough. and I don't just want but need a Wotteo keyring, too.
