OMG - that would sell for thousands on eBay. I want it. It's really nice to see that they were just regular kids....

Totally unfair - I was on the arrival level at Incheon when he was on the departure level. Getting closer... posted a pic unfit for this page.... Also, Japan from Incheon? I bet LA

Wow - I hope he's hydrating because he sure is sweating tons. Does he just keep getting better?

Me, too - I read that guys in the military take a lot of vacation time towards the end to use up whatever they haven't used. And I hope (and suspect) that this means he was also able to see Yoongi and Jin......

A couple of posts from just now. Jin is back with Coldplay, These posts will get you started -

Not expecting this - TXT will be getting no break from the BTS guys for their new release, though their audience is not generally the same audience that RM has.....

Not much of a rest.... And how did the AMAs single out only Jimin and RM?

I think Mr. Nice simply said something complimentary to Kian84 about this piece because that's just the kind of thing he'd do, whether he actually liked it of not. And I, too, am not find of the very long shaggy hair on Jin, His hair has looked so good, I really don't see the reason for messing with that. The shag doesn't do it for me. There has to be some throwback to the 80's? Maybe? We know he is planning on old school rock and roll but his hair has been plenty long enough. It's so obviously extensions. It's hard to make Jin look less than wonderful but this seems an effort to. But, then Jin does have a stylist who can't seem to find a suit jacket that fits him properly....

Does anyone ever use "fan letter"? I am trying to add photos to "recent photos" to choose from? I seem to have only three options that I gave them access to and can't seem to access anymore. How do i access photos for that? I take a photo of Korean translations so I can post in both Korean and English, and add pictures. I've never had this issue before.... Weverse really makes me nuts.

I'd take it down. A lover of fine art, I believe Namjoon would encourage him to donate it or something. It's hideous (though lots of purple). And why did Jin do hair extensions for the latest concept pics? His hair is long now and glorious,

I love this . a reminder of our Yoongi and Namjoon. https://www.instagram.com/p/DIepUIQyaPC/?igsh=d3Z2bDBiN2U5MDl5

I don't think any of the members has been looking forward to getting out as much as Namjoon has.

Boo - well, we still must meet up in Seoul. Best first move is to get a T-card from a machine near the Airport Railroad station and load it with at least 20K won and use it for the subway (you may need to add more $). The card AND the separate ticket to Seoul Station MUST be used at both ends - so don't discard the train ticket until you are at your destination. T-card can be used for all sorts of stuff but I use mine for the subway only. And you can pick up a map at the info counter at the airport, Also - probably a good idea to get won from your bank. Better exchange rate. And you almost never need cash (I literally end up using 100K or so max but you might want to be more secure)- it'll all be on a credit card, Everything except street vendors use cards, even for something as small as a coffee. Plenty of free places to visit, and others have some days that are free. Hobi and Jin are so sweet - I see that ARMY ask about Yoongi and he never says anything. I am really looking forward to some sort of assurance from the members that they do plan on resuming group activities, even as Hobi and Jin finish their current solo activities.

Having been in Seoul for the 10th Festa, I can guarantee that there will be literally a hundred thousand ARMY, at least, all gathering someplace. Worth a see but overwhelming. How many are you? Have you thought about Jeju at all? It's super inexpensive to get to and you could stay where I am for a couple of days (accommodations limited by space and seats in the car-). Busan is worth a couple of days, too. But you can also be in Seoul for weeks and still see only pieces of it. We must meet up in Seoul, at least- maybe the 11th or 12th. (I have a dentist appt the morning of the 11th)

A bunch of posts about the concert and then one with Hobi (sorry for repetitions, but want them all available -

Jin with Coldplay tonight in Seoul. And two other tweets. I didn't know it was Jin who had reached out to Chris to get the My Universe collab happening - And I'm going to try (or actually have @rockstaryuzu try for me because I'll be flying home) for one of the Seoul shows. Also, @Whoopiewoop -I'll be in Seoul the 11th through the 13th, maybe the 14th, depending on if the guys have anything planned....and then to Jeju for 6 weeks.

Sounds more like Tae, really - and no announcement on Weverse so WTH? This Jin tour goes into August and it makes me wonder if that will be it for individual members going out solo. Much as I really love all of their individual endeavors, I want OT7 back!!!! Also, I have to recommend coming to Seoul for dental procedures. I found an excellent dentist, trained at Columbia in NYC and 1/10 the price of the US. Wow.

At least TXT will have a whole two weeks to soar before Jin's new stuff is released.

Hmmmm- can we guess why? I hope he gets to see many of the members. This might be for more than Jin. RM pointed out that lots of guys in the military take lots of leave their last couple of months to use it up so possible there are multiple members in town. Does anyone know what this survey i or recieve one? https://www.moneycontrol.com/entertainment/bts-releases-a-questionnaire-their-army-ahead-of-12th-anniversary-festa-2025-asks-fans-about-band-s-favourite-choreography-songs-and-more-article-12993708.html And this is interesting - maybe it wil eventually be okay for anny member to come out as gay, though idol requirements are not the same as whatt is publicly acceptable for regular people. Still, it's a start. https://www.instagram.com/p/DIdPCFTRT-5/?igsh=MTI3cTl3N3R0a21uZA%3D%3D

Echo is due to have 5 songs. I imagine he'll be doing limited promotion since it comes out less than a month before four more members come home. Weird promo - and with the widest shoulders of all, why can't they get suit jackets to fit him? It's like whoever is the stylist for this just didn't work very hard. And I am resolved now to having to update all my streaming every few weeks. No rest for us. I feel that the other (in the military) members put out content and albums and tours that I hope will satisfy their solo urges. I really am anxious to see how they are going to synthesize all their developed colors into the next chapter together. Off to Korea tomorrow night...

Sometimes, the soundcheck crowd looks so huge. But the "back stage" pass almost guarantees a close encounter. I wonder if the person who got the hug had a spot near the barricade or if seats were assigned. I think the floor for these concerts were standing only so it might be just showing up 12 hours in advance to get the best chance of being in the front. Somehow doubting that anything like this will be available when OT7 perform, but that backstage access/post concert may be worth it. We'll see. Happy to hear Mickey is still well, but not surprised that he is getting older. I was actually surprised he lasted through Hobi's service. I wonder if he'll tack on two more shows in Seoul....

It is only because of Jin. Only. I sure wouldn't be watching this if not for him. He is so patient and willing to be helpful and cheerful. I haven't looked into whether Kian has other shows, but I sure wouldn't watch this for him (the one female of the trip of "managers" is cool, though.)

It really is amazing how varied and different the catalog of BTS songs is. Something for everyone. If someone had only heard Cypher, for example, they may not thing BTS is for them, but then hear Boy in Luv or Dynamite or.... Jimin "Who" music video is over 100M views. I'm so pleased for him that this milestone occurred before he gets home. Oh- watch Kian's Bizarre B+B. Indeed, very bizarre. Not too far in but have to say that the #1 personality characteristic of Jin that is super obvious in this one is his ability to be adaptable and helpful and accepting, even when it's clear towards the beginning that he thinks the whole thing is absurd.

I'll think - But if Hobi wants to know what it is I want, I would be happy to tell him.

By the way - this young person belongs to Lumpens (and I have forever been trying to figure out if it's a boy or girl -) and we know he went to the Friday show... https://x.com/uarmyvibe/status/1909718023503503840/photo/1
