So they did a bunch of interviews back to back today but some of them are being released later. This one is pretty great as well, their achievements on western charts are mentioned, they talk about their tour, their newest album etc, the usual (with some bonus surprise questions like who goes to the gym most, what songs they sing in the shower (lol)). It seems like they didn't have a translator so Mark and Jackson had to translate for the ones who didn't speak in English. I appreciate esp Jackson, Mark and Bambam talking so much and in English through-out the whole thing, but also the others trying it (except JB seems to wanna stick to strictly Korean so far) .

I assume the rumors are true seeing how they will have a packed schedule for the end of the year with new additional tour dates in preparation. Plus, the Love Yourself series was supposed to end this year so it makes sense for them to have the repackage released before the tour. Idk. Thoughts?

More Than 200,000 Koreans Sign Petition Against Upcoming Seoul Pride

[pearlychoco.livejournal.com]

More than 200,000 Koreans signed an online petition asking the presidential office to disallow the upcoming queer parade, which is scheduled to be held in central Seoul on Saturday.

The petition, which was first filed on June 14, asked the authorities to ban two queer events -- the upcoming parade in Seoul and another event that was held in Daegu on June 23.

“We are not discriminating against sexual minorities,” the petition reads. “But Seoul City Square belongs to all citizens.” The petitioners called the events “distasteful,” saying some of its content, displayed publicly, is “inappropriate for children.”

Okay this was... maybe a lil awkward asdfg (or maybe that's just me lol) but otherwise ok I guess?? I get secondhand embarrassed easily so I need you guys to judge this one for me. We got some randomsass questions and maybe there was an effort to get to know them better but they really just barely scratched the surface. I guess the most interesting one was to tell a secret they have that fans don't know (which actually provides us with some info about the boys we didn't know about and Jinyoung got way too deep omg dude what are you doing it's a morning show asdfg). I appreciate the effort of communicating and managing to joke around.
