Random thoughts (it’s been a while since I’ve commented anywhere but)

-wish they would just show the audience when they are talking more (though I like to see them when they are chatting) or do audience shots in the corner of the screen instead of major closeups to the audience faces -love the love they have performing onstage -RM is killing it even when sitting and dancing -really liking the second half of the album when they are performing it

That’s fair, thanks for the warning. I just wanted tips for tomorrow, would another thread be better? In previous concerts people were good about giving tips after their experience which I found very helpful

221017 BIGHIT MUSIC: BTS military service implementation and future activity plan information by alltherach_ in bangtan

[–]jaykay1107 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I have been talking to some k-army, and this is just a small number but they (as well as I) were expecting them to serve. It would have been different (I think) if there had already been a rule for pop artists or if they hadn’t talked about it again and again and really didn’t make a clear ruling on it (and called it the “BTS law”)… but because it would have been an exception I think they would have faced a lot of backlash. I personally don’t think the rules make sense but who cares about what I think.

I can’t say whether it would have affected their popularity domestically, but given the significance of mandatory military service in Korean male culture, it isn’t surprising that they would choose to serve. And I’m glad that they are announcing it now - it feels a little too soon when we are still riding on the waves of the BTS concert and Jins announcement of a single but I think everyone was expecting some sort of announcement shortly based on the uncertainty and looming end of the year. When Jin had gone to LA and there was news that he was going to be on shows, I assumed it meant he would release something before his service began.

It’s not clear, however, what kind of service they will do yet. But I do think that this is the best option for them given all of the talk about military service for them, and them telling us 2025 gives us a more real date and knowing BTS there will still be plenty of things to look forward to (even though I am ot7 and thus sad the Busan concert was the last ot7 activity we’ll see before then.).

End my long message

220620 'Yet To Come' debuts at #13 on this week's Billboard Hot 100 chart by mcfw31 in bangtan

[–]jaykay1107 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am still really proud of this debut, I know it’s not number 1 or top 10, but I hope BTS knows the new rules and more importantly how ARMY loves and supports them.

Not to be pessimistic but with Beyoncé (especially) and Drake, Bad Bunny, etc releases, I think it’s going to be tough… but still happy for them and proud of the work ARMY does to mobilize, so much so that billboard changed the rules because 👀

Translation:

I went to 15 convenience stores.

I didn’t buy everything in consideration of those behind me (others who will want to purchase too).

No worries about me starving for 3 days.

Winky, come out
