Can you believe some people actually use them as keychains? RJ and Wootteo would get so dirty so fast!

I do, and RJ looks still fine😁, white like the first day😉.

But I don't have him on my keys (way too bulky), but on my bag and also change between RJ, a Niffler, another plush keychain and nothing, so that might play a role.

I'm always more worried about loosing him😅.

I saw that. ARMY were complaining on Geffen's social media that there was no iTunes pre-order link for Jimin's new single and he replied by posting a link for a new artist's  Taylor Swift collab and called it song of the year. That being said, he did not actually say anything even remotely like 'yes we are sabotaging Jimin' so I think the fans are reaching a bit

 

However, one day HYBE will own Geffen. Just watch.

So, Geffen is the distributor of Jimins albums in the US, right? To answer a client of a question regarding a product with another song recommendation is just plain stupid and disrespectfull. Doesn't matter if its Jimin oder another artist.

This person should have at least  said that they will look into it and please refer to the official x-account.

lol Armys are on fire.

Sorry, but this chicken looks sooo adorable🤩😍🤩😂. 

But the link list isn't really up to date, at least the one for germany gets a "site no longer exists", but respect for the effort to set it up like this.

I hope he does. 

The statement about the biggest hits come in collaborations is clearly not true, or the writer should have specified that he only refers to the UK (but also not sure if that statement would be true).

And the self producing statement is worded a bit unlucky (?) so to say....they should have said that "seventeen belong to the few self producing idols" or something along the lines.....

Guys, I want to go to a kpop party.

Currently watching a stream of the mawazine festival (largest festival in marokko) and waiting for Ateez to perform and there is a DJ on....and only playing kpop songs!!!

The crowd is going crazy and so damn good with singing along.

Will look at what happened at the planet tomorrow. Just wanted to drop this, I think he will play 30min more. Search for shzip on twitch if you want to party at home🥳😎

I need to take a moment to gush about this: another 'little band that could', P1Harmony (who I've mentioned here before) just sold out the KIA Forum on their final US date of their current world tour.

 

 

 

I'm pretty proud of them, they come from a really small company and they never seem to have any really big buzz around them but somehow they're getting places. They're very cute in their own way plus the songs are killer

I know what you nean, feel the same about Ateez. It's nice to see how these bands have found their own place in the industry and still its hard to see how the small companies (or better, their groups) still aren't treated the same as the ones frome the big four......

Or have an extended tome to save money. Has anyone gone for the "jelly" only rental concerts? I went ahead with the necessary # of jelly, but mostly because I'm out of free fan letters and need one jelly to send a new one.  Less than $11 for all three concerts, I just need to pick a 7 day window when I can watch..

Nope, will try my best to avoid this jelly thing. I always find it kind of strange if someone wants you to buy a fantasy currency......but this concert thing sounds interesting.

Also: everyone's favorite, Scooter, is resigning as an artist manager but we haven't lost him altogether -  he'll stay on as "chief executive of entertainment company HYBE America".  This is okay with me because the future daughter-in-law is a friend of him and I'll meet him at their wedding. Still planning on playing the "Scooter card" in 2025, if possible.

You do this. If they are still together, it would be a nice way for her to get on the good side of her future mother in law😉.

The shrimp dumpling thing looks good and if the tteokbokki is frozen rather than instant, I can see myself enjoying that. Not sure what's in the middle - some sort of bean thing? I wish there were more than a 100 of the toys they were giving away 

Not a chance of this popping up in any store in my region.

But I found "pure" kimtchi on amazon (without nasty flavor enhancers or other stuff) and ordered it to finally try if I like the taste of it😁.

I'd guess they are all frozen.  Alas, I doubt that Tucson will be considered a large enough market for them.  I'm happy that TraderJoe's carries gimbap.

 

Love the soundcheck videos -- I got really annoyed with fan cams of the concert as it was a strict requirement to enter that one have no device capable of taking photos or video, but there were clearly people who ignored that.  I hope Hybe blackballs those few who were lucky enough to be one of the 4000 and still ignored the rules (easy to track down through their YouTube channels).  Not as egregious as kissing Jin, but such aa violation.

But it was allowed?

Jin said so in his live that normally the company is quite strict but it's fine if they want to film this time.

The article mentions a bunch of YouTube channels. It's interesting that HYBE is taking this approach in the US, because the laws are different and proving there's a case is harder

She (the girl from asian entertainment chanel) thinks there might be more behind it for hybe to try, cause she is pretty sure that all four law firms told hybe how hard it is to get the personal information behind one of these accounts. And I think she might be on to something. It looks kind of random at first glance, but hybe wouldn't invest a ton of money in something random.

Also, i hope they sue this dave disci chanel. His click bate headlines drive me crazy🤬! His last video had a headline with "RM's ex spotted at camp" or something like that.

Shouldn't be hard to get his personal information. There must be enough people who know him.....

And TXT wanted a world tour. They are getting some breaks and it’ll be the same show that they have been doing so I don’t think they will be working on new material for that, though working on new for later. I really hope they do get a In the Soop kind of deal in the next six months. 

Still missing europe in this world tour part😑.......

They start their japanese tour on july 10th, their comeback is on the third.

So my guess, they got this week off (I hope it) and then start preparing for japan. They tend to add the japanese songs to the set list, means, the performances have to be practiced and the set list adapted.

I really hope they get a ItS experience this year....

Yup! Classic kitchen wound from accidentally brushing your arm against the lip of the hot oven as you take a pan out. Combined with some of the tone of his 'Dear ARMY' letter, it looks like JK is really going through it right now.  hopefully no more burns!

I first thought he had a line tattood🙈 and then saw it was a burn wound😑.

Just read all of their letters again. What I get from it.

Hobi - doing great

Namjoon - has arranged himself in the situation

Jimin - kinda ok, but glad when it's over

Tae - enjoys his time

JK - not so good

And Yoongi is Yoongi😅.

Couldn't get a feel of it if he finds it horrible or good or just boring, lol.

Hope they get a bit of time to rest first. But their japanese comeback is right around the corner, so they will probably already be practicing for this.....

I really hope that they get to enjoy ItS this year or their own travel show like BV. It's something they have mentioned again and again that they want to do something like this.

Also, of course I know that they miss out on being a student on a campus, but seeing Kais show (he wants to play in a band and goes to university to the campus band) brought this fact home hard. 

He was sitting there and talking to the other students and was so thankful cause through this he can get a small experience of the student live on campus.

He's so sweet   I knew it was his idea as soon as I heard it. I'm glad the company put the reigns on him - honestly, free hugs in the park would be downright dangerous. 

 

I haven't caught the live yet. Is Weverse down for everyone else? ETA: it's been so long that I had the wrong url but it's working. I thought maybe Jin's return crashed the site, lol

The subs aren't up yet, but I have seen snippets.

Him fighting for the hug event is so sweet🥰. I hope it will go smoothly and just like he imagind, so that he has a great time.

Another snippet I saw made me a bit sad though, under spoiler...

By the way: 

Anyone else thinks it's funny that Namjoon is playing the sax when Tae is the one who learned it when he was young?😂

Maybe we will get a duett one day😉. But I did recognize Dynamite, so, well done Namjoon😁.

I literally spent 3 hours watching that livestream on youtube yesterday while doing other stuff wondering what I would even be able to see. Nothing? Just more black cars with dark windows passing by?

 

I was not disappointed. I recognised Hobi's beanie as soon as it peeked out from behind the car seconds before they changed over to Jin. By that time is was almost 1am here and my 36 yo ass was tired as hell so after excitedly scrolling through twitter for a while and sharing funny posts with my friend and sister.

Sounds great though, even if you were tired😊.

This is so wholesome and healing and the soulmate hug!!!! You can see how they missed each other💜

I can’t believe I can’t watch BangBangCon -

and for a horrible reason. I haven’t had power in over 4 hours. This on a day when it was 110°. An hour and 15 minutes ago they said that was when it was supposed to be coming back on. I’m trying to decide if I should go check and do a hotel with the dogs. My computer is almost out of electric, my phone is dying and the only Internet I have is through my phone. So I could only watch part of a thing at a time and the buffering is terrible. Also, to top it all off I “missed” the hug .

Oh no, that's horrible timing. Sorry that you missed the hug event....

Regarding Jin's event:

I need to check when it was, didn't note it down. Need to see if I can watch it live. If so, I would need to get my army membership back to watch it😅 

Edit: so, the live streamed session is right in my lunch break and i could extend the break to an hour.....guess I will get my membership renewed😉

A JK interview.  Every now and then, I wonder if the members (or anyone) is as sincere as they seem.  But I believe it totally.

 

Guess my first idea was right, it's midnight on the 8th, so the night from saturday to sunday.

I have our 2016 stream set up. You just need to let me know where you stopped watching last week😊.

Soooo.....I guess Bang Bang Con is tomorrow? Or has anyone seen a stream? Because midnight (24) minus 7h is 17 = 5pm my time.....

meanwhile... 

 

 

The girls themselves are so young that it feels icky to dislike them, but it definitely puts a sour taste in the mouth knowing how complicit they were in all the scheming. I honestly didn't care about the case until MHJ made that underhanded comment about how she and NJ accomplished things so much quicker than BTS and then Danielle behaved disrespectfully toward the Le Sserrafim girl that was hosting that music show to repeatedly thank MHJ. Luckily, I nor anyone I know liked their music in the first place

The thing with Danielle is put way out of proportions. No one would make a fuss if Eunchae wasn't mc-ing there.

It happens quite often that at the ending ceremony the mc and the members of the kpop group don't get the timing right. The MC's wait for the members to end their speach and wait until it seems like everyone said their part to start talking again. Of course it can happen that a few seconds later a member wants to add something, they have won and most of the time are still happy, excited and hyped, one can forgett something in all this excitement.

That she added mhj and thanked her, is a different thing. It just shows how they have successfully been groomed. It's sad to see.....

Regarding my feelings to them.....
