I know RM's comments about loneliness and marriage not being the solution to it are the cause of much conversation this Chuseok in SK, but I think if you're not in SK you may be missing an important part of the "marriage or no?" conversation:

SK does not have unilateral no-fault divorce

Let's spread the word! Stream "Don't Say You Love Me" so we can grab that record for most-streamed song for K-Act of 2025. We're still at #2 and only have until the end of the month. Don't forget to use the right playlists—about 17M streams got deleted in September.

The tariff exemption for computers has been extremely effective at supporting the US AI buildout—real fixed investment in computers is skyrocketing

Without the exemption, AI firms could be paying roughly $8B per month in tariffs, and investment at this scale would be impossible

NEW from me:

In his 2nd term, Trump has pursued the largest trade war in modern US history—with 1 glaring omission. Computer imports are almost entirely exempt from tariffs

It's a special carveout that AI companies are now reliant on for their data center buildout🧵

Namjoon is so deeply, nakedly, authentically *human.* That's an incredibly difficult thing to be as a regular person living a life with a regular amount of attention. But to be that fully dimensional for an audience of millions?? No wonder he's anxious--but he is also so, so brave and inspiring.

⚠️ Worth paying attention to the focus on Emergency Room care here because I expect they are going to try to get rid of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), which is was passed in 1986 under Reagan and is what makes ER care available to everyone regardless of ability to pay.

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

this is why hybe granted extensive employee bonuses in June...it's all hands on deck for planned (and spontaneous) activities 🤣

www.businesskorea.co.kr/news/article...

Article by Jasmine Choi dated 2025.06.26; Title "Hybe to Grant 20 RSU ‘Bonus’ Shares to Employees Ahead of BTS Full Group Return" -- first paragraph "Hybe has announced plans to grant a bonus equivalent to approximately 6 million won to all employees.

According to the financial investment industry, Hybe notified employees on June 25 through the company intranet that it plans to grant 20 restricted stock units (RSUs) per person to all employees of Hybe and its domestic and international subsidiaries. Based on Hybe’s closing price of 310,500 won on that day, this amounts to approximately 6.21 million won per person. This measure is interpreted as an effort to boost morale among all employees ahead of the full discharge from military service of BTS members and the start of their full-group activities."

I wonder how many museums (outside of SK) have courted him for this opportunity. Some of them must’ve looked at CONNECT BTS and imagined the possibilities…i can't wait to see this 🥲

this part 😭. my very rough impression was it felt like almost 50% of the comments had green hearts (auto-trans)? And around 40% of the green hearts also had a 💜 (so both annual membership and digital membership).

need longer WV-lives and at diff times to see what the real ratio is
