I have it now and the group name is BTS Planet  but I don't know how to post to it.  How does one have a conversation with one group like this?

 

I'm confused.. you already said hi in it, no? Just use it as a normal texting app like whatsapp or instagram

And I really wish people would stop calling them a boy band

People still call the Backstreet Boys a boy band and they're my age. It's a label that sticks, unfortunately 

 

As for pressure.... now that HYBE is publicly traded, the real pressure on this comeback, and on the tour, and on the guys, is about money. If this comeback doesn't meet or exceed shareholder expectations and the stock doesn't go up, it'll be really bad for the company, and for them. That's got to be keeping them up nights. 

 

Of course the chances of the comeback being a flop are vanishingly small. But still, I bet they're trying not to think about it.

I think that, on a personal level, each of the seven is really more concerned about whether they perform and produce at a level that they can be proud of. More than the money part. They don't need to worry about money. But I can understand that concern too. I just think that it really is a gut concern for professional ability to return to the top.
And I guess we could call them "boy Ish", but still how does one get off the "boy band " genre name thing. I can think of Justin Timberlake, who got out of boy band by going on his own and doing his own thing because he certainly was boy band.

backstreet Boys will always kind of be a boy band because they didn't do much evolving. Whereas the guys who were in New Kids on the Block evolved in expanded and went onto things far beyond just their boy band roots.

I think our guys will probably be hit with boy band forever, but that they will also after they are in their 40s or whatever, do go independent and do other things, they have Harvard personal ambition for things other than just performing. JK wants to direct. RM wants to curate art museums. I think Yoongi will stay a producer forever.  In use driven Korea, the lifespan of a model is kind of limited by age. Really the only one I actually wonder what Avenue he'll go up is Jimin. 
I wonder if they bristle at all being called boys. Probably not as long as it comes with a success in the money.

And that's not what I said, anyway. 

 

What I said is that they probably feel the pressure of having the profitability of an entire huge company riding on their backs for this comeback. Something like 80% of all of HYBE's revenue - Hybe, not just BigHit - comes from BTS. If the comeback doesn't meet financial expectations,  it'll be a big deal. 

 

And yes, they probably do feel concerned about their ability to perform onstage as well.... but they've been easing themselves back in to that by popping up on Jin's and Hobi's concert stages. They can prep for the performance anxiety. But they have zero control over how much revenue the comeback will generate for HYBE

The pressure!   

my blood work came back weird,as one might expect for someone who just had radiation.  Some fine but some near normal and then some omes they might see as concerning, WBC is obvioulsy low but red cell is perfect.  I am presuming - have to - that someone will review this before 8 am when they wanty me to start taking the dreaded medicine and not eating anything

Here's a tip: before you start getting prepped for the OR in the morning, ASK THE NURSE if your most recent bloodwork has been checked. And then,  double check and ASK THE DOCTOR.  If they miss something, it's you that'll suffer, so ALWAYS speak up!!

Who cares?  Do they care?  I want to know the tour schedule!   And I believe that they may be tweaking some little things but are basically ready to do any entire performance right now.  they just want two month to perfect it.
