azoarka.livejournal.comIn an interview with iHeartRadio discussing their recent collab with Lauv, RM confirmed BTS was working on their new album but stated that December's Jingle Ball was the "biggest event" they have left in 2019, possibly a hint that BTS's comeback would not be in the last part of 2019 as people have speculated but in early 2020 instead.
After collaborating with BTS before on BTS dolls, Mattel announced that they would be releasing new mini-dolls of BTS. BTS visited their new pop-up store to pose with big versions of their mini-dolls.

Excerpt:
Is there one actor you wish you could have worked with? He’s not really an actor, but sometimes I see people that have a kind of peaceful thing about them that I like, and right now that person would be Jimin from BTS. I’d love to photograph him too, but maybe that’s something for the future?

Glad they seem to be taking their time with the album and not rushing it this time.

juhli.livejournal.comOctober 23, IU made a post on her Instagram for the fourth anniversary of “Chat-Shire,” her mini album released in 2015, featuring a drawing from her late friend Sulli.
IU wrote, “My dear Chat-Shire, happy 4th anniversary.”
The drawing is one that Sulli had posted on her old Instagram, captioned “Portrait,” and later gave to IU. It became the motif for IU’s “Red Queen” and was featured in the “Chat-Shire” album. At the time of release, IU revealed that she saw the drawing at Sulli’s house and took a picture of it because it was a perfect match for lyrics that she had been thinking of.
Meanwhile, IU, who had been preparing for her comeback, wrote a letter to fans earlier this week regarding the postponement of her album release in the wake of Sulli’s passing.
