no one's actually selling plots on the moon right? this is probably like, naming a star after someone?

[fauxkaren]

Pretty sure, yes. Lol

[colossusx]

yes, both are scams

[nudrive]

Yep a scam, just like 'buy land in Scotland to become a Lord' scam lol

[fauxkaren]

He was on VLive for like TWO HOURS yesterday, hanging out for his birthday. But lmao it was right as I was starting my work day because time zones. So I experienced it via periodically refreshing Twitter and enjoying the memes.

[colossusx]

is two hours an odd length of time?

[fauxkaren]

lol it’s just a long time to be hanging out and live streaming with fans. Usually they’ll hop on VLive for like half an hour but JK was on for a long time. And I got to watch none of it because the cogs of capitalism meant I had to work in order to earn money to buy goods and services. Booooooooo.

Just wanted to say, I enjoy your comments a lot.

Happy birthday to this dork! 💜

This bday gift is cute and doesn't seem like it's too ridiculously expensive. The c-ent crackdown on fandom culture is about to end the era of more ridiculous gifts like Times Square ads, airplane livery, VR exhibitions and building hospitals/schools of dubious quality in idols' names. Hopefully fans will focus on donating to causes from now on.

Best gift I've received is jewelry. It's my favorite thing to get and I have personal memories from each person who gifted them to me.

What’s this crackdown you mention? I saw all over socials that his fans (from all different places) had arranged all these things, like a flower archway somewhere and all of these ads for his birthday on some public transit route. Is this normal in k-pop?

Also saw a fair few of their tweets freaking out about his (new?) tongue frenulum piercing (it definitely looks like one), where a good majority of them are praying to jeebus it’s just his saliva catching the light, which…I don’t know how old these people are and why they’re getting so upset about a grown adult having piercings but it was depressing me about the state of the world we live in even more.

I saw some of his live, he went on a journey discovering their discography. People kept requesting songs for him to sing that he’d apparently forgotten they’d ever made in the first place.

[carmesim]

JK and the fans got a bit lost in translation during the live, international fans kept requesting the songs using their english names and BTS only use their original Korean titles most of the time. The Heartbeat moment was funny though, I don't blame him for forgetting that one, they released SO much music in 2019 and the game OSTs basically never got any actual performances

[erstwhile_jab]

Yeah, I came to the train way late so my first impression of him is adult with tatts and piercings, etc. so that probably compounds my confusion about their online reactions. But still going to maintain that they probably need to realise they don’t own idols or get to police their actions, more than he needed to realise he should have tried to shed his former image sooner.

Was that government decision in relation to a particular situation or just a general ruling because of ongoing shiz over the years?

[war_machine_rox]

I mean. Id rather have a gift card but it's a nice gesture.

[war_machine_rox]

Best gift? Probably my amethyst earrings from my parents when I graduated high school. My first piece of real~ jewelry.

[smilla_sini]

Wtf, nobody has the right to sell it as a property, just actually profiting from anything like that whatsoever, tf is that???

[hotdoggoz]

You’re correct, nobody owns the moon lol. It’s a scam.
