The Planet's BTS Fan Club

[Old Cat Lady]

I suspect that Jin, himself, is the one that felt a need to add a clause about allowing people to substitute a handshake. Gentleman that he is, he's the only one that I can imagine being oblivious enough to think that anyone wanting to touch him would rather have a handshake than a hug. If anything, I'm a little nervous that he's going to get mauled. 

 

 ETA: someone in the comments pointed out that it's against some people's religion. I can't fathom being that devout that I could resist a hug

But it's Jin that would get in trouble for hugging them, in those cases. This is part of the reason why 'manner hands' are a thing in Asian countries.

He won't be able to get mauled - from what Weverse has included in info about the event, it seems a bunch, or a few, ARMY will be escorted from their seats to Jin to keep it all orderly.  What do we suppose a "light" hug is? No squeeze? Barely touching?  All "manner hands"?  I will want to actually hug him, but will follow whatever rules they set forth.

 

And Festa in two years is going to be something to behold. They haven't done an OT7 full on Festa since before the pandemic.  Yoongi won't be out in time for next year, unless there is some way he can get out a few days early.

I have never heard of a hug event....and then 3h of it with light hugs from Jin😳?!? This is going to be hard for him, if we say 1min per person(walking to him, hug, probably taking a picture, walking away) that makes around 180 people..... honestly, feel kind of not good about it, but if Jin wants to do it🤷🏼‍♀️

, this is great. Hope he sees it. I still occasionaly try to find this one meme of ot7 as cats how they would go through a parcour of paper cups. It was so on point, but haven't found it again.

Did we write a song?  i'm confused.  (And those pics of the toddler are Jin's nephew - I follow both his brother and sister-in-law.  We never see his face.  And he likes strawberries.)  His name is Sun.  The second nephew is Won and already has more hair that Sun did...

 

Same. I saw this and was like "huh, when did this happen?"

I know there have been songs made by Army for the guys, but it was always organized by a yt-channel and a fan action done by fans, nothing official.

Well, she deserved it.

 

Well, if all it took was her smiling at the camera while wearing a yellow sweater I'm going to take it and not complain.

Let's just hope the public opinion stays against her und doesn't switch back again with the next press con of her (pretty sure she will do another someday) 😒

OMG - I will actually be in Seoul this day - have to be on Jeju that evening, but I could make this.  There will be a lottery.  Hopeful.

 

 

All the luck in the world for you🙏🍀💪

I suspect that at some point, those hugs will turn into high fives... even shaking hands with 1000 people in 3 hours is a lot

This kind of surprises me - but then, not.  I know that people with unlimited money up their chances of winning a raffle (entry into the RM deal at last year's Festa seemed to be won mostly by older non-Korean women.)..but it has to be the short period of purchasing that got to people.  I know that there is is no way to see what you've purchased further back than a year and this was for NEW purchases only - and not vinyl or Weverse versions, which I thought unfair.  Weverse has not released actual new details and they certainly didn't send me a message saying I could go ahead and cancel my order and still qualify , so I'm holding off on that.

And this is a great observation;

 

[rockstaryuzu]

I don't know where AllKPop or anyone else got the idea that they raffle was only for "fans who had to purchase as many albums as possible within the period of June 2 to June 6."

 

That is NOT what the original notice from Weverse said. It said any paid-up ARMY member *who had bought* any of the albums since Proof on Global would be eligible for entry.

then, in a seperate paragraph, it listed the period of time to submit your entry.

 

Nowhere did it say that the albums have to be purchased during the raffle period and only those purchases would be eligible for entry.

 

I assumed from the beginning that entry was based on past purchase history

The reporting is probably inaccurate.  You have the same understanding of the purchases that I do.  All of my purchases, certainly since Proof, have been on the USA shop so I did order a non-vinyl non-Weverse Album versions cd on Global.  Thus far, there hasn't really been an update regarding eligibility from Weverse, though they say one is coming.  Maybe they just need to clarify their wording- I suspect one would still need to have purchased an album post-Proof from the global shop.  They have never offered up anything, except the concert in Busan, to any ARMY. Still, I bet there are 100000 people, at least, who have or will register for the raffle.  Such a random chance of a Jin hug.
