I never thought of Dobermans as cute until I "met" Bam. He is by far the cutest one I have ever seen. His face and personality reflect JK's love

He is cute - and, while there are too many "not small" dogs in Korea, and an attitude towards dogs, rurally, that would make you cry, most all the dogs I ever see in Seoul are little ones.  Smaller than my Westies.  Maybe JK can influence younger peoples' opinions.

More love for Joon

 

 

lol. Another Korean on the Namjoon for President campaign

 

@rockstaryuzu I guess Jin only has 1 nephew. I must have been thinking of baby Butter's sonogram.

Jin has two nephews. Sun (Seon) and Won - they are maybe 13-18months apart from each other.  The little one is already walking.  His brother and sister-in-law post pictures of the kids with their faces covered up.....

Good to know that I didn't just imagine the 2nd nephew (I'm quite addle brained). I saw an article saying he only had 1 so thought I was wrong but must have been an old article. 

 

 

 

 

 

Yay! Another magazine saying "Best RAP Album"

I absolutely love the recognition Namjoon gets and also JIN, yes! absolutely agree with another level.

 

Ok guys, I need your help.

I listened to the new Stray kids song (not my taste this time), but there is a part that reminds me of an old bts song (maybe red bullet era), but I can't remember the name and it's driving me crazy, cause i really want to listen to it (and haven't found it so far).

You can listen to the intro, but the key is higher there, so best go to 2.06min in the mv, to felix part.

I know that it's a famous line V does in the bts song, all rough and growly, I can even see him doing it....I just can't find the damn song😭🤯😵‍💫

This will require me to watch the Straykids MV.  Later, when it's too wet and windy to walk around outside. Never mind - I listened and his voice is so different than Tae's, it's hard to pull a comparison out of my head.

 

I so hope Namjoon is pleased with all the recognition he is getting.  He's always had a kind of inferiority complex, oddly,  He should be developing a new confidence all together.  And Jin is a surprise - his album definitely has a range of styles.  I'm glad it's for one of the songs that's in Korean, and also heartfelt.

Another "Rap/Hip Hop" album instead of "Kpop" :dancinghotdog:

 

 

It occurred to me today that I don't recall seeing any critical accolades for Jimin or JK this year or last in spite of widespread success. Magazines just wanting to be cool by being contrary? 

JK and Jimin were both nominated for BBMAs (and pitted against each other). Jungkook did win two categories, but, oddly, not the one for sales. How many Seven or Standing Next to you does he have to sell? I am reasonably sure (but not positive) he sold more than Seventeen or StrayKids. And Jimin is STILL hanging in the top 100 streamed songs. Also- why would t JK be in a category that didn't start with a K?

Yes, I'm aware that JK and Jimin get the lion's share of the awards and the streams which are largely based on popularity & numbers. But they're not on any of the "best of" lists from the critics, which is a whole different animal. Makes me wonder if these critics just avoid the most popular things to be "cool"- but I haven't looked closely enough at them to see if Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, etc. get the same treatment, not that the way Western artists are treated is at all indicative of attitudes toward Asian artists.

 

Billboard did nominate JK in a non-Kpop category, but of course it's a category based purely on stats.  JK won for "Song of the Summer" at MTV awards 2023. We all know that MTV awards are a farce but hopefully it's a tiny baby step in the right direction. However, I think the awards are more and more about backstage deals and politics so as long as Hybe is unwilling to play ball, I think they'll be relegated to Kpop categories - I think it's their way of trying to placate the fans while still leaving room for deals in the important categories.

 

 

Speaking of year-end accolades:  I never did understand how the "top artist" ranking works. I know it's some combination of the stats from sales and streams but beyond that, it's a mystery
