D-Day in Asia
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Boy oh boy, Suga really was fighting a constant onslaught of fatigue and germs on the Asian leg of his tour but I wonder how many of the audience in Indonesia, Japan, Thailand and Singapore noticed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Once he got on the stage he gave it his all, every, single, time. BTS really do care about making sure the audience goes away not just happy, but buzzing.

The Habit He Can’t Break, 1/4
IQ 123 | Gordon Masson | 9.11.2023
Usually, when an act completes a world tour, they come off the road for an extended period to rest, record new material, and then typically two or three years later, the wheels are set in motion for an album, released, promo, and tour dates.
Louis Tomlinson did not get that memo.
His first solo tour ran late due to the pandemic restrictions, meaning that by the time it concluded in September 2022, his second album, Faith in the Future, was scheduled to drop and tickets for the associated tour were ready to go on sale.
“This tour went on sale late October or November - basically a year in advance,” explains agent, Holly Rowland, who represents Tomlinson alongside Alex Hardee, internationally, while Wasserman Music colleagues, Marty Diamond and Ash Mowry-Lewis do likewise for North America. 
Despite that quick turnaround between tours, Rowland reports that ticket sales for the current tour are going very well indeed. “The first leg went through Scandinavia before doing the Baltics and Eastern Europe – Romania, Bulgaria, and Greece – places that most people, especially arena-level acts, don’t really go. And the second leg, which is more mainland Europe, started 2 October.”
The tour is big. Very big for just a second outing in his own name. 
Between May and July this year, Tomlinson played 39 dates in the US and Canada across a mix of amphitheaters, arenas, pavilions, and stadiums. In August, he returned to Europe, where he currently is in the midst of another 39 dates in arenas across the continent and the UK, which will take him to 18 November. Then, in early 2024, the Faith in the Future tour goes to Australia for two outdoor dates in Melbourne and Brisbane, before he takes the show to the country’s biggest indoor venue, the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.
And, as IQ went to press, Louis Tomlinson released dates for a return to Latin America in May 2024 for a mix of indoor and outdoor shows, including stadia, across Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, and Uruguay.
“We’re going to Australia and part of Asia early next year,” states artist manager Matt Vines of London-based Seven 7 Management. We then go into Latin America in May and June. And then we’ll handpick a selection of festivals next summer, before we draw the line on the campaign at the end of the summer.”
Rowland comments, “The tour before obviously was a Covid tour where the dates had to be chopped and changed. The positive aspect of that was that we were able to upgrade venues where that made sense. But it was really nice to start from scratch on this tour to make sure the routing was all going in the right direction.”
Back to You
Playing a major role in shifting that ticketing inventory is a network of promoters also enjoying Tomlinsons rising star.
“On this tour, it’s mainly Live Nation – we use a lot of the One Direction promoter,” explains Rowland. “But for Greece, we used Honeycomb Live, Charmenko did Romania, 8 Days A Week promoted the three shows in the Baltics, All Things Live did Finland, Fource are doing Orague, it’s Gadget in Switzerland, Atelier in Luxembourg, and when we get to the UK, it’s SJM, and MCD in Ireland.”
With a total of 39 European dates, Rowland split the outing into separate legs, scheduling a break after Scandinavia, the Balkans, Baltics, and Athens, Greece, and another after mainland Europe, ending in Zürich, Switzerland. 
“It’s a perfect ratio, if I do say so myself,” she laughs. “It was right to split it up – 39 dates is a long, long tour, especially with the American tour throughout the summer being 11 weeks! We made sure to schedule days off, for everyone to recharge their batteries.”
In Spain, Nacho Córdoba at Live Nation promoted Tomlinson’s shows in Bilbao, Madrid, and Barcelona, and reports sell-outs at each of the arenas involved. 
“When Louis was last here, it was three days before the pandemic shut everything down in Spain. In fact, I think he played the final show before the market closed because of Covid.,” says Córdoba.
“Last year, Louis organized his Away From Home Festival in Fuengirola, and that also sold out, so we know he has a big following in Spain, and we also know that Spanish fans are super loyal. So, on this tour we sold out 7,000 tickets at Bilbao Arena Miribilla, 13,600 tickets at Wizink in Madrid, and 11,200 at Palau St Jordi in Barcelona.”
Already looking forward to Tomlinson “and his fantastic team” returning on the next tour, Córdoba believes it will be important to see what happens with the next album – and Tomlinson’s expectations – before making any plans. 
“The most important thing is to keep the fans happy and keep the momentum building with Louis,” he states. “I am a big fan of the arenas, because the atmosphere at his shows was incredible. So, rather than look at going bigger, it might be a case of looking at other arenas in other markets. Whatever he does, we cannot wait to have Louis back in Spain.”
Stefan Wyss at Gadget abc Entertainment in Switzerland promoted Tomlinson when he visited Zurich’s Hallenstadion on 23 October and explains that he previously played the city’s Halle 622 venue on the first tour.
Recalling the debut solo outing, Wyss tells IQ, “At first, we announced a mid-size theatre club show, 1,800-capacity, but it sold out instantly. Then we moved it to Halle 62, which is 3-500-cap and that also sold out immediately, so it was a really big success. 
“They’ve invested a lot in the production of this current tour, and it’s doing really strong numbers, so that’s why we decided to go to the arena this time around, where we set a mid-size capacity of 7,000, which is good for a small market like Switzerland, especially because he’s coming back just one year later and playing a much bigger show.”
Wyss adds, “He’s kept the ticket prices reasonable – and he never wants to do any gold circle or VIP tickets. I think that’s why he’s so close to his fans, because it’s not about maximising profits. Another reason for his success is that in addition to attracting a mainstream audience, he’s also getting the music lovers because he’s just a very good songwriter and has brilliant songs.”
Wyss also notes that with many young fans typically arriving the day before the concert, the responsibility to look after them is extended. “We set up toilets, we have security overnight, we give water away. It’s part of the organization that we will take care of the fans.”
Fresh from announcing 12 dates across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Peru, Paraguay, Panama, Puerto Rico, and Uruguay, promoter Fabiano Lima De Queiroz at Move Concerts reports that Tomlinson will visit a mix of arenas, as well as stadiums in Santiago, São Paulo, and Buenos Aires, during his May tour.
“Our first tour with Louis was supposed to be in 2020 and we’d booked half arenas everywhere – 5,000–6,000 capacities,” he informs IQ. “Louis was one of those acts who connected very well with the fans during the pandemic, so when we shifted the dates, first to 2021, and then to 2022, we ended up selling out and having to upgrade in certain metropolitan markets.”

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 87- Wild N Out
Tumblr media
Chapter Summary: Jennie guest stars on the show Wild N' Out with Angelina. Matt Rife tries to shoot his shot with Jennie while he has been in her DMs for weeks.
Words: 8,000+
Author's Note: Wild N Out is one of my favorite shows! If you aren't familiar with it, I highly recommend watching YouTube videos about the show. They have their own channel and have tons of videos for you to get an idea of the different games and banter they have.
This is one of my favorite chapters! It was so fun to write and edit!
If you are easily offended or aren't that into jokes, perhaps this show and chapter are not for you and you are welcome to skip it.
I used some of the lines from the Wild N Out YouTube videos I've been watching to add to the chapter. So I hope you like it! I liked the build up for this. It started tame and then got crazier.
-------- "Your hair~! Finally, she has dyed her hair! You give Justina Valentine a run for her money," Angelina giggled and pulled Jennie in for a tight embrace.
Jennie flew to LA to join Angelina and stay with her for a little while before they flew to Georgia for their Wild N Out recording.
"Haha, thanks sis! I still need to hide my hair from the public. So human hair wigs it is,"
"I'll help you put it on,"
"Jennie! You're here! I've missed you!" Angelina's little brother, Tyrone, pushed Angelina away and went to hug her.
"Rude!" Angelina complained.
Jen laughed. "I'm happy to see you. You're getting taller,"
"I know! I'll be taller than you one day," he grinned.
"I see it,"
"And for the record, she has a boyfriend. So stop drooling," Angelina called him out.
"Still? Aw, when are you gonna break up with him?" he whined, causing Jennie to giggle.
"Dummy, she is not breaking up with him! Nobody is ruining our OTP! Now if you don't mind, we need to catch up, so leave us be,"
"Can you play video games with me later, Jennie?" he ignored his sister who looked offended by that.
"Sure," she beamed. "I'll play some games with you, later on,"
"It's a date!"
"Oh Lord..." Angelina rolled her eyes and grabbed Jennie to drag her to her room.
She shut the door and locked it so her brother wouldn't barge in. Laying on the bed, Jennie joined her and they began to catch up.
"Soooooo, how are the boys? They surviving well without you?" Angelina asked.
"From what I heard, not really. They're struggling a bit," Jen laughed. "But they're doing all right. Just working on the comeback. With Yoongi, Agust D is a huge success. I'm so proud of him,"
"I heard! He has BARS! A to the G to the U to the STD! That song is hot! I heard you played the guitar for a couple of his songs,"
Jen stared at her in surprise. "You noticed?"
"You have a unique sound. It's easy to tell it's you because of how you play. I think it's amazing you're doing that. The boy always has such a soft spot for you. It's so cute,"
"That is true. Namjoon is working pretty hard on the album. A lot is on his plate,"
"Yeah, he told me and kept apologizing for not having much time to talk with me. But it's cool. I get that way when I'm working on new music,"
"To tell you the truth, he's pretty stressed. And so am I. I keep thinking about my song. I just don't think it's going to be well received. Part of me wants to change it but they're not going to do that, everything is set in stone,"
Angelina playfully nudged her shoulder. "I'm sure you'll be fine. You'll be singing your truth and how you feel. Don't even worry about it or pay attention to any negativity. Focus on performing it when you guys go on tour,"
"Speaking of our tour when it's announced, I hope we get to go to more American dates. Big Hit is underestimating how many people around the world want to see us. K-Pop is getting more attention as the years go by. We need a real-world tour this time. Not just Asia, a few places in Europe, and so on. I want to go everywhere and perform with BTS. So, how is life with you?"
"I've been just doing more shows on TV as a guest star and doing collaborations. Also working on the new music. Things are getting there."
"You excited for Wild N' Out, soon?"
"Oh, you know it! I am always~ on that show! Are you excited? You get to have a chance of getting a belt! I'll have you know I won the belt quite a few times,"
"I expect nothing less from you. And yeah, I am excited, too. I'm not much of a rapper although I'm still learning from Yoongi but I hope I can spit a few bars to win some points,"
"You'll do fine. It'll come naturally. I hope they don't roast you too much. Expect them to come after the boys, though,"
"Mentally preparing. I will defend Bangtan's honor. It'll be a fun experience,"
"I really wish I was a part of the cast," Angelina sighed at the idea.
She had been a fan for years and always felt like she could be a great cast member of the show. She nailed it when it came to the games with her quick wit.
"To be a part of the show, ugh that would be awesome. I love the show so much. I feel so...at home there," she went on.
"Have you thought about asking Nick?" Jennie asked as she pondered about Nick Cannon.
"What? No way. I feel like that'll be too...forward. I mean I like being a guest on the show, so it's all right. And like Justina, she is so damn good at what she does on the show. I feel like I can't compare."
"Angelina, you'd be a great addition. Talk to him,"
"Ah...you flatter me. It's all right, just forget about it, okay? Anyway, let's watch a movie. I'm feeling Waiting To Exhale. What do you think?"
"Yeah, let's watch it. I'll make the popcorn,"
Jennie made a mental note to talk with Nick. Maybe she can help her. Angelina was stubborn and too modest about these things. But Jen could give her that extra push.
As Jennie and Angelina watched the movie, they laughed at the awkward sex scene.
"Grr?" Jen laughed. "Oh my gosh..."
"I hate men who do that. It's so weird. Why you so extra with it?" Angelina cringed. "And what's even more embarrassing is that she ain't even enjoying it,"
"Have you had a bad lay?"
"Oh hell yeah! Oh my God, there's this one guy I met at an after-party of an award show, right? Way before Namjoon. He was flirting it up, saying all the right things. He was talking all this mad shit about him having girls not walk the next day, right? This man lasted like 30 seconds and fell asleep. I was so mad. I pushed him off the bed and cussed his ass out for tryna play me,"
"Yikes~! That's uh..."
"I know! I feel like the guys who don't talk much about their skills are the best ones because they know how to put it down. And a lot of these guys I've encountered like to brag about their size but don't know what the heck to do with it. All talk, no action. It's annoying,"
"Damn..."
"But don't you worry. You have nothing to worry about when it comes to that,"
"You have a favorite part when it comes to that?"
"If anything, I would say that pillow talk is the best part for me after everything is done. You'll love it." Angelina said enthusiastically. "I feel like you and Jungkook will just be vibing and enjoying each other's company after that special moment. Watch you two be talking about video games and then end up playing some video games afterward,"
"I mean, it could happen. I see it," she giggled.
"Is Jungkook a cuddler with you?"
"Yeah, all the time,"
"That'll be the best, having you in his arms. You'll see. I usually leave after doing it but with Namjoon, it's so different. I like listening to him. I can listen to him talk for hours. We go into some deep conversations, too. He's so smart,"
"That he is, sis,"
As they continued to watch the film, they watched as Angela Bassett's character put all of her husband's items on fire. Jen was shocked at how real the scene looked as her character yelled and cussed about him.
She shook her head. "He took all the money and left her with the kids. Ridiculous. Divorcing her for that white woman,"
"I know, ain't it screwed up? Men really ain't shit. Wasted all those years of marriage to end up like this? I'd be so mad." Angelina added.
"You and I both,"
And once the office scene between Angela's character and her husband came about, Jen continued to be speechless at how they shouted at each other.
"Man, I'm amazed at how much rage you can have when someone cheats on you,"
"Can you imagine?"
"I can't even imagine it. And I never want to."
As the movie went on, Angelina chuckled after thinking about Matt Rife, "So...Matt really all in your DMs?"
"Yes! Oh my gosh. And he comments on a lot of my stuff, too. I replied to tell him I wasn't interested but he's still trying to spit game and I've been ignoring the messages. Did you see he's following some of my fan accounts?"
"Wow~! How do you think it'll be on the show?"
"I'm hoping it won't be too bad and that he learned his mistakes from Zendaya,"
"We'll see, sis. He wants you bad,"
"I'll let him down gently,"
"Well, if he gets too much, then make sure you embarrass his ass on TV,"
When the movie was over, Jennie spoke, "Hey, you know how I have occasionally talked about wanting a tattoo? I want to get one before I go back to Korea. Big Hit gave me the okay. I want to get the friendship tattoos with you,"
"Oooh! Let's do it. You still have the idea you showed me on your phone, right?"
"Uh huh. We just need to figure out where we want to get the tats,"
Angelina took out her laptop. "Let's research!"
---------
For the Wild N' Out taping, Nick Cannon had excitedly opened up the show and shouted out DJ D-Wrek and the Wild N' Out girls.
"There are two teams battling head to head to see whose the funniest. And usually, it's my team cause I be cheating. I'm just gonna put it out there like that," Nick joked. "And I changed it up this season. We doing it bigger and better. I want y'all to make some noise for my new squad! It's the Gold squad!"
For this episode, the Gold Squad consisted of DC Young Fly, Becky Robinson, Darren Brand, Emmanuel, Karlous Miller, and Matt Rife.
"And we have a very special guest. She is the reoccurring champion here on Wild N' Out, one of the youngest and most successful up and coming rappers today, and can kick your ass if you cross her, give it up for my girl, Angelina~!"
Angelina walked out excitedly, wearing a Gold Squad hoodie, and gave Nick a big hug.
"How you feel!?" he asked.
"Elated man, elated! This my happy place, I love it here!" she beamed, earning loud cheers.
"It's good to have you back. You ready to get down, today?"
"Hell yeah, always,"
"All right, that's what I like to hear!" he replied as she went over to her team. "I can't even front, we got a little bit of competition this episode. It goes down. Y'all make some noise for the team with the dream, it's Platinum!"
The Platinum Squad walked out consisting of Timothy DeLaGhetto, Justina Valentine, Chico Bean, Hitman Holla, Conceited, and Charlie Chips. Nick then proceeded to announce Desiigner as one of the co-captains of the team. 
After shouting him out, he went to announce Jennie. "Now we have another special guest here to represent the Platinum Squad as the co-captain. Someone here to try to take my belt. Not only is she singing in Korean but she is also sticking to her roots and bringing it down in the K-Pop scene! Y'all make some noise for my girl Jennie~!"
Jennie walked out with a big smile, waving at the crowd as everyone cheered. She had on a curly human haired wig that resembled her natural hair to hide the comeback color. Along with ripped jeans, she wore a cropped Wild N' Out platinum hoodie.
"Jennie, today you get a chance to take my belt, how you feeling? You ready?" Nick asked after embracing her.
"Born ready. Let's do this!" she said happily.
"Confident! I like that! Let's get to it then! Platinum squad y'all make some noise for your team captains over here!"
As things settled down, Nick went on to announce the first game. "This is a classic game we like to call Let Me Holla. It's real simple. We bring a Wild N Out girl to the stage, and each cast member gets the opportunity to holla at her. Now if it's funny, it gets a bell. If it's not funny, it gets a buzzer. The team with the most bells wins. Y'all know how we do. Y'all ready? Let's wil' out,"
Once the Wild N Out girl arrived on the stage, Darren Brand suddenly made a dive over to her, sliding on the floor. He then got back to his feet.
"I just slid in yo' DMs," he said, making everyone laugh.
DING
Gold Team- 1 Point
Platinum Team- 0 Points
Next up was Conceited and Hitman Holla to represent the Platinum team as they approached the Wild N Out girl.
"'ight watch this. What's up, baby?" Hitman Holla greeted her with a charming smile, making her giggle. "You remind me of the 20 letters of the alphabet,"
"There's fuckin' 26 letters of the alphabet," Conceited called him out, making everyone laugh.
"Silly me. How could I forget that U, R, A, C, T," he flirted as everyone cheered.
"Okay, that was smooth," Jennie said, impressed with his game.
"No, no, hell no, that's only 25!" Conceited brought up to DJ D-Wrek. "He still missing one! He can't count!"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Silly me," Hitman Holla apologized before moving in close to the girl. "You can get that D later,"
That statement caused the crowd to go wild along with the cast members who were shooked.
DING
Gold Team- 1 Point
Platinum Team- 1 Point
DC YoungFly strolled over to the girl next.
"Come here shawty," he called out but she didn't budge. "Oh, she tryna play hard to get. Come here shawty. Bring that ass here, girl!"
DING
Gold Team- 2 Points
Platinum Team- 1 Point
Chico Bean pretended that he was ordering something. "Let me get a number two...one three and the rest of them digits,"
The girl didn't seem too impressed and neither did the crowd and he was met with a buzzer.
Angelina casually wandered over to the girl with a smile. "What's up, baby?"
"What's up?" she smiled.
"Now, if I wasn't buying this drink, would you still check me out?" she revealed a can of lime-a-rita which made the girl laugh.
DING
Gold Team- 3 Points
Platinum Team- 1 Point
'Okay, I think I got one,' Jennie thought and stood up, walking over to the girl.
For this, she pretended to look disappointed. She let out a sigh and rubbed the back of her neck.
"Man...I'm so bummed," she said.
"Why is that?" the Wild N Out girl asked.
"I wish we could go to the movies together. But they don't allow snacks in," she replied as she was met with giggles and cheers from the crowd.
DING
Gold Team- 3 Points
Platinum Team- 2 Points
Matt Rife chuckled softly at her pickup line as he gazed at her.
'Man, you are cute...' he thought to himself.
Ever since she walked on the stage, his eyes were on her. He was definitely getting distracted.
With Jennie, she felt that someone was watching her and glanced over to catch Matt staring. He quickly looked away, trying not to make it obvious but she knew what he was doing.
And so it begins.
The question on her mind was, what was he going to do?
As the game progressed, the teams went on to give out the smoothest pickup lines, with Platinum and Gold being tied at five points. Matt Rife approached the stage and the crowd cheered for him, anticipating what he was going to say.
"Wow. You are beautiful," he complimented the girl. "Now, as much as I would like to shoot my shot at you, there is someone else in this room that I've had my eye on for a while now and I want to holla at her instead,"
The crowd and cast got hyped up, anticipating his plan once Matt turned around and put his attention on Jennie.
"Ohhh shit!" Desiigner yelled as Jen's stomach dropped.
"Oh, word!?" Nick shouted.
"Wait! Wait! This is against the rules!" Conceited complained. "It's supposed to be the Wild N' Out girl! Not our co-captain! Leave her alone!"
"Give him a chance!" DC Young Fly defended him.
"He gon' embarrass himself! Zendaya 2.0" Hitman Holla claimed as that made the crowd laugh more.
"No, he not!" Darren Brand spoke.
"Yeah, so chill! I want to see this!" Emmanuel replied, hushing everybody.
Matt had made it very clear ever since Jen was announced to be on the show, that he was quite fond of her and wanted to shoot his shot. He had to at least try to flirt with her. He also wanted to redeem himself from the whole Zendaya fiasco.
"Um, are you serious?" Angelina complained. "She is wayyy out of your league,"
"Aye! You're supposed to be on his side, we're a team," Nick pointed out.
"Here he go," Justina Valentine chuckled while Matt's team cheered him on.
Jen felt her face flush at the commotion. She wasn't expecting to be put on the spot this soon. It was only the first game!
After the commotion died down, Matt went up to Jennie and gently grabbed her hand. He watched as she stood up to face him. His gaze on her grew more intense as he gave her a charming smile.
Yeah, Matt is a handsome guy. But in Jennie's eyes, no one could compare to her man, Jungkook.
"Jennifer Walker...wow..." he checked her out. "Damn, you look so beautiful today,"
She smiled politely as he released her hand. "Thank you,"
"I watched American Hustle Life. I heard you're into older guys,"
Ah, he must have watched the clips of her gushing over Tony.
"I have said that, yes,"
"Now, I'm single and I'm a few years older than you so that's a check off your list. And I hear you have this thing called an ideal type...you talked about what you want in a man,"
"I have," she agreed, surprised at how much research he put into this.
Tumblr media
"All your reasons are valid. And I fit the description. But I couldn't help but wonder about your ideal type in a more physical way. I bet you want a man that has experience. Somebody that knows exactly..." he leaned in close. "...what he's doing and how to take care of a queen like you. Somebody that can handle all that. I'm that man,"
His statement caused the crowd and both teams to go wild. So much commotion surrounded Jennie as she processed what he had said. She became amused at his bold statement and maintained eye contact. He was not going to fluster her. No way. 
Oh, how she wanted so badly to say she had a boyfriend on National Television. But she refrained and decided for this game to let Matt have his fun. She'll think of something to embarrass and shut him down in one of the next games. This won't be the last of the flirting.
'Ooooooo he about to die~,' Angelina thought with amusement, thinking about what Jungkook and the rest of Bangtan were going to think of this when this aired.
This was getting juicy. She thought about Jungkook's reaction, how Jennie was going to handle Matt during the show, and if Matt was going to flirt more later on. She decided to let nature take its course and not get involved. Since the Amity days, Angelina would always come to her aid in situations. But over the years, she has seen Jennie hold her own and was interested to see how she was going to handle this Matt situation during the recording. If she could have some popcorn to go with this entertainment, she would as she watched Jennie laugh softly and gently push Matt away since he got a little too close.
He took a few steps back from her light push and asked, "You don't have a boyfriend, do you?"
"And if I do?" Jennie replied smoothly.
"If you do?" he ran a hand through his hair, "Well, I can confidently say that he won't be your boyfriend for long,"
'HA! He is so thirsty! How delusional can you be!?' Angelina thought as she snorted at his response.
Jen couldn't help but chuckle at that. He really thought he had a chance? If he thought she was going to leave Jungkook for him, he was sadly mistaken.
"And what makes you so confident?" she asked.
"You may not hear a lot about the girls I've had and I may not have as many as some of these guys on stage but just know my satisfaction rate is higher. And you can find all that out later if you let me have your number," he offered with a soft smirk.
The crowd hollered at his words and a series of dings were heard.
"Yes! That is what I'm talking about!" Darren Brand praised with Nick.
Once Matt heard the bell for his team, he smiled victoriously and grabbed her hand to give it a soft kiss. Releasing her hand, he sent her a wink and went back to his team, high fiving Nick and some of the other cast members.
'Celebrate while you can Matt. This is far from over,' Angelina thought to herself as she anticipated what Jennie was going to do.
"DJ D-Wrek! Who won that?" Nick asked.
"Gold team got the most bells," he announced as the Gold team celebrated.
-------
"For this next one is a classic game I like to call talking spit. You know how it go. We gon' have some Wild N' Out girls bring out chairs, some water, and some buckets out here. Myself and Miss Jennie are gonna sit down in chairs, fill our mouths with water and each team member is going to get the opportunity to make us laugh so hard that we spit our water out. The team that makes you spit the most, wins the game! Real easy! Y'all ready? Jennie, come on up here, please,"
Jennie smiled and got up from sitting with her team. Taking a seat across Nick, she sipped some water, holding it in her mouth. All she had to do was try not to laugh that much. Hopefully, she can win for her team this time. She wanted that belt.
"Gold squad wil' out!" DJ D-Wrek announced.
Angelina decided to go first, smiling mischievously at her best friend. Jen knew what was up and narrowed her eyes.
"Yo, Jen, I ain't even gonna hold you...I may need to steal a few of them smart-"
Quickly spitting out her water, she shouted, "Hell no!" which made everyone laugh.
DING
"Ha-ha~! Works every time!" Angelina said victoriously.
"It's on sight after the show," Jen added and was answered by Angelina sticking her tongue out at her.
Gold team 1 Point
Platinum team 0 Points
Chico Bean stood behind Jennie and began to make an improv song, dancing while she joined in, dancing in her seat, "A wha-a wha-a wha-a wha. I said I'm chico bean, yeah you heard what I said. Me and Jennie both got some big ass heads!"
She chuckled as she threw her head back, keeping the water in.
"...yeah you know what it is. No, I ain't gonna stunt, mine big in the back, hers big in the front," he went on as Nick was struggling to keep the water in. "Hey, uh, water wet wet and when we put our shirt on we make the neck stretch. I say uh, hey, the water wet wet and when we put the shirt on we make the neck stretch!"
Once DC Young Fly jumped in to do the shoot dance, Nick couldn't help but spit out his water and laugh. Jennie high fived Chico Bean for getting the team the point.

Emmanuel stood behind Nick and waved at Jennie. She politely waved back and listened eagerly to what he had to say.
"I've been thinking about this. This is all curiosity. I've seen some photos and I want to know what you think," he went on as she watched him curiously at what he was getting at.
He took out a printed photo of the BTS members and their "coconut" haircuts. "I don't know how you do it, Jennie. Do you ever just stare at BTS and be like, damn! What is with them and that yee yee coconut ass haircuts they got on?" he said, causing her to immediately spit out her water, turning to the side.
Nick spat out his too while she covered her mouth, laughing wholeheartedly.

"Why he do them like that?" Angelina asked, cracking up with the rest of the cast members.

After wiping her mouth with a Wild N' Out towel, Jen put more water in her mouth as Tim DeLaGhetto went up to get Nick to laugh.
"Nick, when I listen to a Nick Cannon album it gives me a special feeling y'know," Tim began. "Like when you wake up feeling good, right? You get in the shower you all fresh, you feelin' nice. And then you gotta take a shit right after?"
The audience laughed while Nick spat out the water.

DC YoungFly walked up behind Nick and pointed at her.
"I will make you laugh, little girl!" he said, making her smile in amusement.
The two battled in a stare down for a moment as everyone watched in anticipation.
"FIRE~!" he suddenly shouted, making her widen her eyes. "FIRE~! FI-RRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE~!"
As she heard him sing Bangtan's song, she struggled to keep the water in her mouth.
"You didn't spit, yet? Man! That's the only lyric I know. It seemed to be working so FI-RRRRRRREEEEEEEEE~!"
Thinking on his feet, he thought of the other English that he heard from the song. "Everybody say LA-LA-LA-LA-LA! Say LA-LA-LA-LA-LA! I do-ont know the rest of thee-ee woor-oor-oor-ords!" he said on beat for Jimin's part.
Nick pointed at Jennie and it looked like she was about to spit as she covered her mouth, leaning forward. He stomped his feet at a rapid rate while pointing as he stood up. But in the end, they both kept the water in their mouths.
Charlie Chips stood behind her next.
"Keep the water in your mouth if you think Angelina is real..." he said to Nick as Nick nodded and kept the water in his mouth. "Keep the water in your mouth if you think Justina is real...Okay, come over here," he asked for the Wild N' Out girl, Teresa Top Notch, to join him on stage.
"Keep the water in your mouth if you think everything about this is real." he went on, gesturing to Teresa, as Nick continued to do so.
Jennie watched as Teresa spun around and posed, looking as beautiful as ever.
"You see Nick? This is my whole thing," Charlie ended up snatching the wig off Teresa once she began walking away.
She was left in her wig cap which caused Nick to spit out his water and run out of his seat while loud laughter and screams surrounded Jennie.

Jennie covered her mouth, laughing while Teresa started to playfully hit Charlie. Miss Bangtan was glad she didn't get her wig snatched off. That would have been disastrous since she was trying to hide her new hair color for the comeback.
Tumblr media
"You shut up! Sit down! It ain't funny!" Teresa laughed and pointed at Nick to get back in his seat.
"Wow...I was not expecting that," Nick said on the mic once he got back in his seat.
As the game continued, both teams were tied up yet again, and this time with Gold catching up to the Platinum team, 4 to 4. 
Matt Rife took the stage and stood behind Nick. Everybody was wondering what he was going to do after the stunt he pulled on Let Me Holla. Anything could happen.
"Now this is a win/win situation for me. So, it's all up to you on how you want to do this, baby girl," he announced, making her confused.
PAUSE!
One, did he call her the nickname Jungkook likes to call her?
And two, what the hell did he mean by win/win situation?
Jennie raised an eyebrow while Angelina began freaking out in her head that Matt called her baby girl.
"If you want me to kiss you, keep that water in your mouth," Matt requested.
Jennie snorted in amusement while making an effort to keep the water in her mouth. Meanwhile, the audience and cast were shooked at his boldness and started freaking out.
"Kiss who?!" Conceited shouted.
"Kiss where!?" Chico Bean added.
"Not this again!" Karlous Miller laughed.
"Matt really got some balls today, huh?" Desiigner laughed.
"She has a choice! If she keeps the water in her mouth, that'll let me know she wants me to kiss her and I'll kiss her," Matt explained. "Spit it out, well then that's one extra point for my team. Like I said. Win. Win,"
Angelina covered her mouth. She mentally saw Matt's grave get dug deeper. She already thought about Jungkook wanting to beat his ass when he watches this episode. Oh gosh, Jungkook. When this episode dropped, she wanted to get all the tea on Bangtan's reactions.
Jennie continued to process what was happening. She felt like Matt was bluffing. There was no way in the world. Not after Zendaya. Another thing was she wanted to win. She did not want to lose this game. Her eyes were on that belt. To take it back to Big Hit and place it in her studio. 
She watched him as he began to walk over to her while the crowd was cheering in anticipation.
"Jennie, spit out that water!" DC Young Fly shouted. "Spit it out, now!"
"Spit it out!" Becky Robinson joined in.
"No~! Hold that water in! We need the point!" Charlie Chips said.
"Hold that water in! Hold it! We need the point! We need the point! Take one for the team!" Tim yelled.
"You sure you want to kiss him, baby?" Justina asked her.
The constant yelling of the teams made the pressure in the situation rise as she continued to keep her water in.
"Don't do it! Resist!" Hitman Holla shouted. "This white boy is not going to win this game! Keep it in the mouth!"
Matt kneeled in front of Jennie. "Make a move, quickly. You gonna accept my kiss or spit that water out?" he teased, raising an eyebrow.
'So, this the game you playing? Bring it. Come closer...I dare you,' Jen thought, narrowing her eyes.
Angelina bit her lip in anxiousness as she watched the scene unfold.
'Girl, what are you about to do?' she thought.
As Matt inched closer to her face, puckering his lips, Jennie ended up slapping him in the face to block his advances. That caused Nick to spit out his water and laugh with the rest of the studio. 
When he got slapped, Matt stumbled to the floor and held his cheek in surprise.
"GIRL!" Angelina laughed out loud, holding her stomach. 
Miss Bangtan never ceased to surprise her. This was hilarious and a perfect reaction.
DING DING DING DING
"REJECTED~!" Platinum squad hollered and jumped up and down in excitement and laughter.
"Damn, can you slap me again? That was hot. Playing hard to get, I see," Matt laughed and got back up on his feet, rubbing the side of his face. 
Jennie looked taken aback by his reaction.
He...liked the slap?
She swallowed the water and spoke in Korean with a smile, saying that he was an idiot for trying that cheap stunt and she was going to punch him if he ever did that again.
"I dunno what she just said but it was hot," he replied with a chuckle.
"Y'all make some noise for our girl, Jennie! Thanks for being such a good sport!" Nick praised and went to high five her once the Platinum team won the game.

"Y'all ready for the next game? It's a fun one, it's called Now You Wild Out. We gon' drop the beat, we gon' bring both teams up and DJ D-Wrek is gon' give us some topics and we wild out and improv about it right on the spot. The team with the most bells wins the game. Y'all ready? Gold team step up. Platinum step up. DJ D-Wrek drop the beat!" Nick announced as an instrumental of 50 Cent's In Da Club came on. "Uh! Come on y'all, uh! Now you wild out!"
"Your topic is going to court," DJ D-Wrek announced.
"Now you wild out!" everyone chanted.
In a whiny voice, Nick started, "I don't wanna go to jail, I don't wanna go to jail, I don't wanna go to jail, now you wild out!"
Pretending to get handcuffed, Chico Bean shouted, "You goin' to jail! You goin to jail! You goin' to jail! Now you wild out!"
"My lawyer's white! My lawyer's white! My lawyer's white! Now you wild out!"
"You bout to be in the cell! You bout to be in the cell! You bout to be in the cell! Now you wild out!"
Scared by his statement, Nick covered his butt and shouted, "Not with you! Not with you! Not with you! Now you wild out!"
"Pause! I'm going out!" Chico Bean quickly walked away, making everyone laugh.

"Your topic is the zoo!" DJ D-Wrek announced as Emmanuel and Hitman Holla went at it.
Playing the part, Emmanuel began to act like the animal as he announced, "I'm a monkey with it, I'm a monkey with it, I'm a monkey with it, now you wild out!"
"Well I'm a bird with it," Hitman Holla flapped his arms like they were wings. "I'm a bird with it, I'm a bird with it, now you wild out!"
"I'm a lion! I'm a lion! I'm a lion! Now you wild out!"
Hitman hesitated and that allowed the Gold team to get another point.

"I'm in VIP, I'm in VIP, I'm in VIP, now you wild out!" Justina said.
"I'm gettin' free drinks, gettin' free drinks, gettin' free drinks, now you wild out!" Angelina replied, pretending to be given drinks.
"I'm dancing on yo' man!" Justina got close to her, twerking. "...dancin' on your man, dancin' on your man, now you wild out!"
Thinking about Namjoon, Angelina replied, "And I'm beatin' your ass, beatin' your ass, beatin' your ass, now you wild out!"
Her statement made everyone laugh and she got the point for her team.

Kicking his feet up, Tim shouted, "Shine my shoes, bitch! Shine my shoes, bitch! Shine my shoes, bitch! Now you wild out!"
"You want a latte? You want a latte?" Darren pretended like he giving out drinks, "You want a latte? Now you wild out!"
"I'm Nick Cannon! I'm Nick Cannon! I'm Nick Cannon! Now you wild out!"
"I own this! I own this! I own this! Now you wild out!"
Tim fumbled his words and Gold received another point.

The Gold team was truly kicking some tail with their quick wit. Wanting to try to get a point, Jennie stepped up.
"Oh, Jennie? You want a shot at this?" Nick looked surprised as the crowd cheered.
"Yeah! I'll go!" she answered with a smile and danced to the beat.
"Oh, then it's my turn, now!" Matt stepped up.
"Oh, here he goes, about to get embarrassed again," Hitman Holla said, making everyone laugh. 
"I got this. I got this," Matt reassured everyone.
"Would you leave my girl, alone? She's not interested!" Angelina called out.
"Chill~. Don't be a cockblock,"
"She don't want you, dumbass,"
"Your topic is relationships," DJ D-Wrek announced.
"Now you wild out," the audience said while both teams danced to the beat again. "Now you wild out!"
Matt looked directly at Jennie with a flirty smile. "You into white boys? You into white boys? You into white boys? Now you wild out!"
Shrugging, Jen waved him away. "I am but not you, I am but not you, I am but not you, now you wild out!"
Her comment made everyone laugh wholeheartedly while Matt continued to remain persistent.
"Give me a chance!" he replied while his team backed him up by looking like they were begging her to say yes. "...give me a chance, give me a chance, now you wild out!"
Dancing to the beat, she remained unbothered. "No way, no way, no way, now you wild out!"
"You know you want this," he flexed his arms. "...you know you want this, you know you want this, now you wild out!"
Looking around confused with her team, she stated, "Who lied!? Who lied!? Who lied!? Now you wild out!" she pointed at him.
"I still smashed," he shrugged and jumped to the beat, causing the Gold team to look at him in surprise and get hyped. "...I still smashed, I still smashed, now you wild out!"
Thinking quickly on her feet, determined to not stutter, Jennie dropped it down low, balancing nicely as she moved her hips, knees, and ass up and down to the beat of the song, distracting him as both teams yelled. Laughter around the studio rose in volume when she spoke. "Was it in though? Was it in though? Was it in though? Now you wild out!"
"HEYYYYY, MISS WALKER!" Angelina shouted, loving her performance as she watched Jennie get back up, awaiting Matt's response.
Almost fumbling with his words, Matt managed to say, "M-my dick can definitely hit it right! And my tongue is better, my tongue is better, my tongue is better, now you wild out!"
Putting him out of his misery, Jennie grabbed onto Desiigner, letting him wrap an arm around her while she rocked to the beat with him. With Jungkook on her mind, she replied, "I've had better head, I've had better head, I've had better head, now you wild out!" 
As soon as she pulled that stunt, everyone freaked out, while Matt couldn't think of a comeback for it.
Angelina smiled proudly at her. 'That's my girl!'

"Man! We had that!" Nick complained.
"So, I really can't get your number or something?" Matt whined to her.
"No, dumbass!" Angelina smacked him upside his head as the crowd laughed.
Desiigner high fived Jennie. "That was good! Good shit, good shit!"
Desiigner went on ahead to represent the team while DC Young Fly went up.
"Your topic is graduation," DJ D-Wrek announced as the energy in the room heightened with them both dancing.
"I fucked my teacher today!" Desiigner jumped on beat with his team following his movements. "I fucked my teacher today! I fucked my teacher today! Now you wild out!"
"You didn't make it!" DC pointed at him with his team. "You didn't make it! You didn't make it! Now you wild out!"
"I put my grrrrr on the desk! I slap my grrrrr on the desk! I slap my grrrrr on the desk, I slap my grrrr on the desk!"
Yelling and moving his body wildly, DC answered, "A KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA! A KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA! A KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA! Now you wild out!"
Jennie laughed along with the entire studio. What the hell was going on?
Getting hyped like he was in the studio when making music, Desiigner began to do his one of signature adlibs with his team backing him up.
"EEEEEEYAAAA! KI KI AH! EEEEEEYAAAA! Now you wild out!"
Jennie loved that no one questioned it and went along with what those two were doing.
Moving his body vigorously with his team following him, DC shouted, "BOOP-BOP-BOP-BOP! BOOP-BOP-BOP-BOP! BOOP-BOP-BOP-BOP! Now you wild out!"
Determined, Desiigner crossed his arms. DC was speaking his language and he was not having it. He was going to win this battle.
Moving in rhythm, he responded, "Whoop-de-scoop, whoop-de-scoop, whoop-de-boop! Now you wild out!"
"You stupid! You stupid!" DC walked away, allowing the Platinum team to get the point although Gold had won the game.
-----
Their time on Wild N Out began to come to an end as they went on to the final round. Wildstyle. Jen had a blast and hoped that one day she could come back with better rhymes and play different games.
"We got Jennie and Desiigner holding it down for the Platinum squad while we got Angelina on the Gold squad, give it up! It's time for the bonus round and it's called the?" Nick announced.
"Wild-Style!" the audience shouted.
"Yep. Freestyle rapping here at Wild N' Out. We focus on them jokes so each punchline is one point added to your total score. So, the game can go either way. It's anybody's game, right now. Gold squad step up. Platinum squad step up. DJ D-Wrek, drop the beat!"
Once the beat started with both teams on stage, everyone moved to the beat while Nick encouraged the crowd to clap their hands.
"Uh. Clap your hands, y'all. Clap your hands, y'all. Yo, Miss Jennifer Walker, you a real big talker. After you left Amity, we forgot who you are. But don't worry, I'm sure Angelina can still make you a star,"

Loud hollers were heard around the studio while Nick was taken aback that she had that energy in her. The way she put emphasis on 'bitch' threw him off.
'Suga is creating a monster,' Angelina thought as she dropped her jaw, impressed by how she fought back.

"I don't know,"
"Is she a hoe?"
"Maybe so!"
"Well, then you will never fuckin' know," Justina answered as the audience went wild.

"Weird?! Weird Asian boys!? BITCH!" Tim called out, ready to get involved in the freestyle. "Jennie, you got this or do you want me to go?"
Jennie turned to Tim and smiled in reassurance, telling him she got this, and turned back to Becky. "Bitch, I'll go back to my amazing Asian boys after I win this belt. You got three seconds to get the hell out of my face before you get a welt. Trashier noise? Girl, be for real. Compared to you, our music brings more appeal. You wouldn't last a day in Bangtan's shoes, let's make that clear. Bangtan is selling out venues faster than your career."
Everyone cheered loudly at her response while Becky broke out in laughter and nodded. Jennie high fived Tim as he cheered her on.

Now Jen had some unfinished business and turned her attention to Matt who was standing behind the Gold team, quiet as ever.
"Matt. Get over here," she called him out.
"Uh oh! Uh oh!" Nick hyped up the confrontation. "This gon' be good!"
Matt laughed and stood in front of her.
"Matt, your game is tired like Advil PM. I know I am desired but do me a favor and stop sliding in my DMs," she announced.
DING!
Matt nodded and spoke up, "Okay, I slid in your DMs but stop with the front. Stop being in denial with this reject Matt publicity stunt. I guarantee that after the show you'll be calling my phone. I meant what I said on Let Me Holla, so let me make your mind blown,"
DING!
Jen rolled her eyes. "Face it, just face it. You brainless, you brainless. You said your tongue is better but I think that's outrageous,"
"Outrageous? You know you want a demonstration! After that, you'll be asking for a bae-cation," he smiled confidently.

"Cute. DJ D-Wrek, can you cut the beat, real quick?" she requested as a series of oohs were heard. 
Angelina placed a hand over her heart, in surprise. "Nani!?" she exclaimed.
Oh, he was done for. Jennie was getting mad. She could tell by the annoyance on her face.
"Hm. Okay..." Jen prepared her thoughts and looked directly at him. "Matt, get it through your thick skull that I don't want you. I am not Zendaya from Disney, I can punch the shit out of you," 
Angelina continued to have her hand placed over her heart as she stared at her best friend in astonishment. She had leaned back as her reaction was priceless and was about to become a new meme.
Out of nowhere, Jennie began to speak in Korean, which made Matt look at her in confusion. She had talked about what a joke he was and turned to the camera to give Bangtan a shoutout and that she would be back in Korea soon.
Switching back to her native tongue, she put him out of his misery once and for all. "You ain't the first, you ain't the last but just know you will not be the one to smash. You might as well give up just like the others. All hot and bothered cause you can't get me under the covers. You only think with your second head so think of a new plan. But let's face it, Jennie don't want you, one minute man,"
After she finished, she dropped the mic. The studio was filled with loud hollers and laughter while Matt's face became flushed as he chuckled.
DJ D-Wrek repeatedly pressed the bell, indicating that it was all over.
DING DING DING DING DING DING DING
Angelina had cheered with the cast and she ended up falling dramatically on the floor during the commotion. Meanwhile, Desiigner got excited and patted Jennie on the back, praising her.
"Yo! DJ D-Wrek! Who won that!?" Nick shouted after everyone calmed down a bit and Angelina got back on her feet.
"I got to give it to the platinum squad! Make some noise for the platinum squad, yo!" he announced over everyone's cheers.
"Woo!" Jennie jumped up and down, excitedly as she celebrated with her team.
A Wild N Out girl came on stage with the belt and presented it to Jennie after she went to hug Nick.
"She came through and took my comedy championship!" Nick announced as she happily accepted the belt and raised it up in the air in victory. He then shouted out Desiigner and Angelina.
Jen let out a content sigh. This was awesome. She was glad she was able to do this, today. And now she got to take this title home. Another award for BTS.
"What do you want to say?" Nick asked her as he gave her the mic.
"This has been such a fun experience, thank you so much for having me! And shout out to BTS and BTS ARMY, I love y'all! Thank you!" she said.
She then switched to saying thank you in Korean for the boys and reiterated that she missed them and would be back very soon. After bowing, she was then hugged by Angelina and had her hand raised in victory.
"That's what we talkin' about! Everybody on they feet! And make some noise for Desiigner~!" Nick announced as he closed the show with a performance.
-----------
After recording, Jennie hung out with the cast to take pictures and discuss the show. The vibe was full of high energy as they laughed about their favorite moments and roasted Matt for being rejected. What Jen loved about it was that there were no hard feelings and people didn't take any of the disses seriously. If only more people could vibe like this.
"You did well! Great job, today!" Nick Cannon praised her.
"Aw, thank you! It's harder than it looks to think quickly on your feet. You guys got that," Jen grinned.
"It is but you held your own. Especially on wild style," he laughed at the memory of her calling Matt a one minute man. 
That was the utmost disrespect and a huge blow to his ego.
"Ha! Had to hit him where it hurts. Can we take a selfie?"
"Yeah, let's do it,"
Taking out her phone, she gave it to him so he could raise it in the air for a quick photo of them smiling happily. She'll make sure to post it after her little social media break is over.
"Thanks so much for having me. This was a fun time," she beamed.
"Anytime! We hope to see you and Angelina back on the show sometime,"
"Most definitely. And speaking of Angelina, she really is in her element on your show, huh?"
"Got that right. In the last episode, she was in she went off on everybody. It was one of the highest-rated episodes to date. She a real gem,"
"That's Ang for you. One of the best. Have you thought about adding her as a cast member? She'd be a great addition!" she suggested excitedly.
She watched as Nick smiled at the idea and he discussed how well she would hold her own in the games with clever clapbacks and rhymes.
"She really would be a great addition, wouldn't she? I'ma talk to her. You think she'll want to?" 
"Absolutely! She will accept with no hesitation,"
Jen felt pleased that it seemed like he was highly considering having Angelina join the cast. She hoped it went well when he talked with her. She knew how much it would mean to her if she got to be a permanent cast member.
Following some photos and mingling with other cast members, Jen went to hang out with Desiigner who still had a large grin on his face. What she loved the most about him was how positive he was and how happy he looked. His energy was infectious.
"Mama, you funny as shit. You a savage,"
She laughed. "Thanks. It was so fun teaming with you,"
"Likewise, mama,"
"I also think it is so dope and inspiring with what you accomplished. We're nearly the same age and you out here making moves ever since Panda dropped. I hope I can make an impact like that with my music,"
"I 'preciate that. It's all about the music and what we love to do. We both young and hungry in this industry. We gon' make it big,"
"Got that right. Heck, we could even make a few songs together,"
"Oh, hell yeah. For sure,"
The two took photos together and then with Angelina. Desiigner then took out his phone to take an Instagram video.
"Yoooo! With my girls! Beautiful black queens! Jennie and Angelina! You know what time it is! Wild N Out! Stay tuned, it's comin' out real soon! Ya-a-a!" he laughed.
"Platinum squad~! All day!" Jennie stuck her tongue out.
"Err-day!"
"Gold squad!" Angelina repped her team.
"Boooooo!" Jennie and Desiigner playfully said before they all laughed.
"Y'all some haters," Angelina playfully rolled her eyes and walked away from them as the video ended.
Once Desiigner went off to goof around with DC Young Fly, Matt approached her with a nervous smile.
"All right, I got the hint. I apologize for coming all over you like that," he chuckled nervously.
He did look pretty apologetic with his face looking a little pink.
"It's okay," she responded.
"B-but just know I'll still wait for you if you ever change your mind,"
She laughed. "Well, you'll have to wait forever,"
"Damn..." he sighed in defeat and nodded.
"I have a boyfriend, that's why," she proudly told him. "After rejecting you quite a few times as well as in the DMs, I thought you'd got the hint,"
"Wishful thinking,"
"Regarding my man and I, we're keeping things private until we are ready to announce it,"
"Okay, I respect it. Damn, whoever he is he's lucky,"
"Nah, I'm the lucky one," she smiled as she thought of how much she missed Jungkook.
"Man...your boys, especially your boyfriend and fanbase gon' kill me, huh?" he chuckled nervously at the thought, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Yeaaaaah, they are."

Bpp how have you been handling chapter2? Do you get bored or lose interest in Bts in hiatus? Do the solo rollouts not bother you? Please be honest I really want to know you true opinion.
***
Hi Anon,
Chapter 2 has been rough for you, hasn’t it? At least, based on your ask it sounds like it’s been. Tangentially, did you enjoy yourself this past weekend?
I’ve said this before, but if you ever feel like it’s a chore to remain plugged into BTS or stan culture, please step back. Don’t feel guilty about detaching if you no longer find joy in it. Move on to another hobby or another group if that’s where you’re at. BTS has fans, don’t worry. Don’t feel any obligation to stick around if Chapter 2 isn’t serving you what you want. You can check back in 2026 when the guys are together, or move beyond them completely.
That said, personally, I wonder how you can even ask me this question. Like, what else has Chapter 2 been but a trip? Lollapalooza, Balming Tiger collab, World Cup, Jungkook’s birthday video for Jimin, Indigo collabs, Set Me Free Pt 2, Promise on Spotify, On The Street, D-DAY tour, Yoonmin live, etc.
It’s been a blast. The music is easily some of the best globally this year and last. To illustrate:
...
The song I just listened to is Baseline by j-hope.
youtube
*
It's like a drug for me.
I don't think you understand.
I get high... off their music. Like, I don't know why you think two years of irregular releases without their full promotion of that music, will change my underlying sentiment. BTS scratches an itch few other artists can reach for me.
[ The sentiment? BTS is one of the best musicians of my generation. They make music that actually slaps. Any day of the week. Any genre they touch. It's prime good music. ]
Let me walk you through my playlist for the last half hour:
J-hope - Baseline
Baseline is the sauciest hiphop joint out of Korea, ever. J-hope is undeniably one of the most skilled and versatile rappers out of Asia. Point. Blank. Period.
RM, Tablo - All Day
RM's vocals in All Day render me a stupid mess. He's sooooooo... he's kinda nasty. I mean, it's big, he's kinda messy with it, but he ultimately knows how to use it, and he knows you know that he knows. All of this I deduced from his articulation and delivery on All Day. Tablo too, that tease, matched Joon's energy seamlessly. No further comment.
youtube
*
RM, Mahalia, Benny Blanco - Closer
Namjoon created a masterpiece with Indigo. It's an atrocity that many people won't admit it. Really. Indigo is the album of 2022 (Hurt by NewJeans being the song of the year, and JITB at Lollapalooza 2022 by j-hope the concert experience of the year.) Closer is an impeccably produced song. I mean it's almost disgusting how smooth the production, arrangement, instrumentation, etc on that song is.
youtube
*
Jimin - Alone
The cold clarity in his lyrics. How raw and honest he is, in such a well produced track... people need to show this song more respect.
youtube
*
RM - Change Pt 2.
The only song that rivals how brilliant and badass this one is, is Set Me Free Pt 2 by Jimin.
youtube
*
Agust D - D-DAY
The entirety of D-DAY album still has me in a vice grip, but something about D-DAY the song, rips to the core. How he manages to slip something rock anthemic into the epic call to arms he made that song into... Yoongi is in a league of one.
youtube
And to drive home the point, listen to him on HUH?!
Agust D, j-hope - HUH?!
Still the best song on the album. Undeniably. I mean, if you don't black out when this song comes on are you even alive? /gen. No matter where I am, what I'm doing, I could be exiting my company's underground garage, loading laundry, whatever... no matter what I'm doing, when this song comes on I feel my brain short circuit. It's like a mental reset. I suddenly feel so alert and primed with tension I could kill a person if I felt like it. The grandmas scared about what rap does to teens... songs like HUH?!, really do flip a switch in people's heads. They're right to worry because that's what the genre, drill - the gritty, ominous, and violent contemporary expression of rap - that's what it's made to do. And Yoongi showed an effortless mastery of it in HUH?!
youtube
*
Agust D - tour medley
I hope people who weren't able to see Agust D in person, were at least able to see him in the livestreamed concerts. Many times since I saw him in California, I've come back to some fancams from his earliest days of the tour. This one by rogrog is a favourite. Yoongi is a master of his craft who loves to show off his virtuosity. And in his D-DAY tour, that's what he does.
youtube
*
j-hope, J. Cole - On The Street
Jung Hoseok just casually produced this timeless classic and dipped to the military. No fuss. No sweat. No excuses. He just did the thing, had J. Cole spit some of the sickest bars of his career on that song, then said, "see you later."
Things like this are why he's my bias.
He's a consummate professional.
youtube
*
Unpopular opinion, but I have no real issues with their solo roll-outs. I'm not unsatisfied with too much and frankly, I'm so greedy for new music I wouldn't mind another cluttered roll-out. I hope Joon's music follows soon after JK's because God knows I'm not sure I can stand the wait much longer. Joon makes a lot of 'BTS-style' music and so whatever he drops will serve as the perfect complement to Seven / JJK1. And Vmin will likely drop new music in the next year as well.
Chapter 2 has been kind of a blast.
That's my "true opinion", Anon.

SUGA | Agust D ‘D-DAY’ world tour report
A liberation journal of SUGA, Agust D, and Min Yoongi
Tumblr media
SUGA became the first in BTS to go on a solo world tour with “SUGA | Agust D TOUR D-DAY” (We will refer to it as “D-DAY” from now on). Just as the title suggests, the tour showcases the Agust D Trilogy, consisting of Agust D (2016), D-2 (2020), and D-Day released in April this year. The concerts serve as a record of SUGA’s life over the past seven years or more. It is a page that transparently reveals his current self and also “a very honest performance” according to his words. With only the encore shows remaining, we have drawn up a “D-DAY” tour report including detailed behind-the-scenes and comments from SUGA about how he put his concert together.
SUGA kicked off his tour with a two-day concerts in New York on April 26 and 27. He successfully completed 11 shows in 5 cities across North America before returning to Asia to hold 12 more shows in Jakarta, Kanagawa, Bangkok, and Singapore. The tour concluded with two shows in Seoul June 24 and 25, successfully completing a total of 25 shows in 10 cities. Despite the tight schedule involving flying between multiple cities in a short span of time, SUGA added an additional show in both Bangkok and Singapore, managing to perform three shows per week in each of his tour stops in Asia. About the demanding schedule of touring ten different cities in a limited time, BIGHIT MUSIC’s head of Performance Directing Team 1 Lee Byung Eun, who directed the show’s performance and choreography, said that it reflected “almost 90% of [SUGA’S] will” to “continue on with the flow.” The tour holds significance as it marks SUGA’s return to arena-sized venues after a long period of performing in stadiums as a BTS member. Ha Jung Jae, Lead Professional at the HYBE 360 Concert Production 1 Studio, the group that directed the concert, said the main advantage of performing in an arena is being able to get closer to the audience, adding that, “indoor arenas with a ceiling allowed for a different type of performance (compared to previous BTS performances). “The arenas I’ve visited during the tour are places I’d been to at least once before, so it brings back a lot of memories.” says SUGA, adding, “I felt a strong sense of how well we’ve been doing for a long time”. The grand finale of this long journey will be the encore shows scheduled for August 4-6 at Seoul’s KSPO Dome.
“Through this performance, SUGA aims to eliminate all the different personas that exist in the world he created and be reborn. In that sense, “D-DAY” can be interpreted as the end of everything, or the beginning, like a birthday”. According to Ha Jung Jae, “D-DAY” is where “the end and the beginning coexist”. The second VCR “Kill Them All” scenes depict the intertwined relationships between SUGA, Agust D, and Min Yoongi, leading to their killing each other, symbolizing the end of the “Agust D Trilogy”. On the other hand, in the “Thanks to” letter section of the album D-DAY, SUGA writes, “The intense struggles I had in my head had no clear answers, and after a long time, I am reborn as the present me, on that D-DAY.” This is why Ha Jung Jae named the last VCR “Re Born” and strategically placed “D-Day” as the next song.
“I wanted to make a two-hour show that flowed organically from start to finish like a single, cohesive entity,” says SUGA. Ha Jung Jae says he put in efforts to select only the “absolutely necessary songs” and arrange them densely together in the setlist. BIGHIT MUSIC’s A&R 1 Team Leader Shin Daye, who planned the arrangement direction of the setlist, explains “although it was his first solo concert, he had enough repertoire to perform because he had already released three albums,” adding that the arrangement was directed to “make all songs flow organically” following the dramatic development. Ha Jung Jae said that the setlist composition from “Haegeum” to “The Last” represents a process of reaching from D-100(%) to D-0(DAY), explaining that “if the opening act is at 100%, as in it is perfectly produced, things get closer to “zero (O)” towards the end of the show.” According to Lee Byung Eun, this is why spectacular and eye-catching performances like “Daechwita” are placed at the beginning of the show, “to keep the tension as high as possible without giving the audience a break.” As the performance heats up with the second VCR “Kill Them All” and “after the stage created for the show and the many personas that SUGA had created in the past all burn down,” the flow transitions into the one that showcases his voice and determination. After performing “AMYGDALA”, the last song before the encore, SUGA collapses on stage and is carried away by his dancers. According to Ha Jung Jae, this signifies being reborn after erasing everything and dying, with the last VCR “Re Born” as the turning point. This is also the reason why the following encore performance, consisting of “D-Day”, “INTRO : Never Mind”, and “The Last”, primarily feature songs where the reborn SUGA “can share his personal stories of what’s on his mind with just a microphone”.
“Whether it’s SUGA, Agust D, or Min Yoongi, I think this performance embodies the essence of who I am as a person.” SUGA refers to the show as “the integration of all the data I’ve accumulated since I first stepped on the stage 15-16 years ago.” Considering that Agust D’s music is based on documentation of SUGA’s personal life, the show had to start out from the “person” SUGA is. “While preparing for the concert, I had many conversations with SUGA. It was a process of synchronizing myself to SUGA as a person. We talked about past memories, current thoughts, and the future.” says Ha Jung Jae. According to Lee Byung Eun,“It was impossible for the stage setting, production, and direction to move separately” and that is why the entire staff, including SUGA, “had to work together from the very beginning.” Before the first song “Haegeum” starts, SUGA is supported by the dancers as he ascends to the stage, and after “AMYGDALA”, he collapses and is carried offstage
According to Ha Jung Jae, “It all started with wanting to break the mold.” The tour itself was a process of constantly breaking the mold. Ha Jung Jae explained the intention behind the stage production, stating, “In BTS concerts, there is an unspoken rule that the stage should have a 17-meter-wide and 10-meter-long space to accommodate a minimum of seven members and 20 dancers. So this time, we thought we’d eliminate the performance area required for synchronized choreography.” Starting with “give it to me”, a portion of the stage panels becomes entangled with wires and begins to ascend to the ceiling, and as the show progresses, more panels disappear. By the end of the show, there is only enough space for SUGA to stand still. Lee Byung Eun says, “Limitations in using the stage space made the performance design not very easy, but I saw the space under the stage as available, considering that the audience had a 360-degree view.” That is why during “Interlude : Shadow”, the dancers use the floor beneath the stage to perform and create a mirage-like backdrop around SUGA during “People Pt.2 (feat. IU).” All of this is part of the journey toward liberation. When asked about his intention of designing the stage in a way that exposes its rustic steel structure that gives an impression of being built crudely without a graceful or flashy appearance, Ha Jung Jae said, “I wanted to build a conceptually driven stage, a stage born out of necessity. By the time the show reaches near the end, I wanted everything to be destroyed, burned, erased, and reduced to the primordial stage of “zero (O).” He also explained that the staff’s action of seemingly dismantling the stage as “The Last” performance comes to an end is intended to make the audience perceive the stage devices as “unnatural, created elements” and convey the desire to “eliminate everything unnatural.”
“A production trying to break with the past”, as Lee Byung Eun says, is a reflection of the intention of SUGA’s voluntary elimination and liberation of all the personas created by SUGA himself. This is why Ha Jung Jae compares the storytelling of the VCRs where SUGA’s many personas kill each other to a potter “repeating the process of making and breaking the pottery.” For example, the hand with chains in the visual playing behind SUGA during “give it to me” belongs to the 3D-modeled SUGA that appears on the screen during “Agust D,” implying that another SUGA is watching over the performing SUGA from outside the stage. This is to convey the message that everything offstage and onstage are done by SUGA himself. As for SUGA’s calm exit without any ending remarks or farewells immediately after performing “The Last”, Ha Jung Jae says, “the moment the song ends, we cut off everything even before SUGA exits the stage. So, there’s no background music, and lights are turned on immediately, cutting off any lingering emotions from the performance. And as SUGA turns around and walks away at that moment, those three seconds show the real SUGA. We wanted the audience, staff, and SUGA to just be themselves for that fleeting moment.” The “fleeting moment”, as described by Ha Jung Jae, seems to embody the liberation from the obligation to show and convey something in a performance. By the end of the performance, which shows SUGA’s present self through the beauty of empty space, SUGA finally reaches a moment of liberation where he breaks free from the names he has created in the past and is reborn. “Through this ‘D-DAY’ tour, I was able to release my pent-up passion and love for performing, which have been suppressed during the three years of the pandemic. And I feel that this tour itself is a ritual and act of forgiving all my past selves.”
“Bringing back the music from seven years ago and performing it on stage again was made possible thanks to the love and support from so many people who have been waiting for me. It’s all because of them.” As SUGA says, the songs in the setlist “Agust D”, “give it to me”, and “The Last” are from his 2016 mixtape Agust D and they were given a new life through the tour. “This tour has been a long time in the making, so all I could think about was how much I wanted to actually start the tour,” said SUGA, recalling his anticipation before his first show in New York. “It’s been so long since the last tour. One reason I started a music career was because I loved performing on stage. So, I wanted to put the stage before anything else,” says SUGA on why he chose a tour as the main promotion for his new album, D-DAY.
For “Life Goes On”, SUGA plays the “brown piano” with a calm expression and sings, “Fortunately, our relationship hasn't changed all along / Let's greet each other, not with a bye, but hello.” The “D-DAY” tour is the moment of SUGA’s reunion with ARMY that he longed for in BTS’ “Life Goes On” and Agust D’s “Life Goes On.” “People who love his music still came to see him even though it’d been a long time since SUGA had performed there last time. It was sort of proof that ARMY was alive and well,” said Ha Jung Jae, recalling the atmosphere of Jakarta. “Thinking how much fans must have wanted to see me perform, I wanted to show them everything they wanted to see,” said SUGA. He tirelessly moved around the stage, interacting with the ARMY, and played the guitar signed by BTS members while singing “Trivia 轉 : Seesaw.”. “I wanted to show how much I’ve transformed over the last three years”, says SUGA, by playing “the guitar I took up during the pandemic.”
SUGA talked about the joy of “having a strong connection with the audience during a performance.” “During this tour, I realized that the audience should always have fun and enjoy themselves. And for that, I have to do my best on stage.” Lee Byung Eun says that it was “a performance that both the audience and SUGA enjoyed,” noting that he could sense SUGA’s happiness, joy, and freedom even from below the stage. “Before the show, we had concerns about performing tracks from Agust D that contain personal stories and unfiltered expressions. But after seeing the audience from different countries and regions enjoying the performance in their own way, I realized that more than half of the show is created by the audience.” As Shin Daye says, during the show, SUGA sings the music of Agust D, an alter-ego he created to express his inner anxiety and anger, but with a smile and together with the audience. He passionately sings songs that contain his extremely personal stories throughout the two hours, yet there is no longer a sense of sadness or anger in his demeanor. Today’s SUGA taps lightly on his shoulder, sings, “my shoulder shattered thanks to the accident I met during my part-time job as a delivery guy” (“The Last”) and casually walks out of the stage as if nothing has happened. When asked in Suchwita about which part of his life “D-DAY” represents, SUGA replied, “I think it’s about now.” His subsequent comments about his current state of mind suggest that the “D-DAY” world tour is perhaps the clearest representation of SUGA’s “now.” “I feel more content and carefree than ever before. I’m just so happy to be able to relax and have fun during the show as if I’m going to hang out and have fun with the audience.”
To ARMY for coming to the concert SUGA: In many ways, I’m glad I decided to do this tour. I remember every moment vividly. I always try to remember every single moment when I perform, but this time, in particular, no matter which city or country I visited, the audience was so welcoming and greeted me with loud cheers. I tried my best to match that energy. Whenever the instrumental for “Haegeum” comes on and the band starts to play, and the audience screams, I get so much energy to sing that I feel like I’m almost a new person. I think that’s why every moment stands out in memory. Thank you so much for your love and support for the tour. I felt and learned a lot through this tour. I can’t wait to go on a tour again with all seven of us. Maybe if I just close my eyes and open them, the seven of us will be on tour together. (laughs) Please wait a little bit, holding on to the good memories and positive feelings from this tour. I would appreciate it.

Heyyyyyy. I've seen you say a few times that taekook are the closest out of all the members and I wanted to just kind of call your attention to something. Listen I totally get it you're a taekook blog, you focus primarily on what taekook has going on. But every time you say that taekook are the only members that are being close in chapter two. it completely disregards that Yoongi and Jimin have been very openly close this year.
Yoongi has mentioned Jimin on several suchwitas not including the one that Jimin was on
they both did each others dance challenges.
Jimin has mentioned yoongi on live and named his marimo ball suga
Jimin mentioned yoongi during several different face promotions.
Jimin went to Yoongi's d-day concert three times
the yoonmin live.
Yoongi went to visit Jimin at the face promotions
Yoongi called into jimins face sign
The ddeunddeun show (where they said they were eating with each other after)
Yoongi told Jk on JK's suchwita that Yoongi and Jimin went out for drinks the day after the d-day concerts
When yoongi came home before the asia tour he told fans at a fan signing that the person he'd talk to most recently was Jimin, that morning, on the phone.
Jimin also went on jimmy fallon and said the people he talks the most to are Jhope and Suga.
Jimin and Yoongi went out for sushi at a restaurant that was not opened a few days before Yoongi's enlistment
These are just some of the ways that Jimin and Yoongi have been very obviously close in chapter 2, I know you don't mean any harm whatsoever when talking about how close Taekook is and obviously, I am not negating that nor am I a straw shipper but I just wanted to point out that while JK and Taehyung have been hanging out and mentioning each other a lot, good for them, Yoongi and Jimin are hanging out, and mentioning each other just as much so it's kind of tunnel vision to say that only taekook are visibly and vocally close in chapter 2. 💜
Hi anon!
Sorry for responding late!
When I say I think Tae and Jk are closest, I don’t mean to imply other members aren’t also super close. I absolutely acknowledge the closeness of Jimin and Yoongi. I’d say next to Tae and Jk they have been the ones meeting up most. I think Jimin and Hobi are also close. I think lately Tae and Namjoon have been seeing each other at the gym.

Jimin and Yoongi at the Met Gala?
Tiffany store opening + Met Gala + surprise guest at the August D concert -- could a Jimin bias be so lucky?! I guess lucky would be if I actually had tickets for the concert. 😔
From the article:
To go back to the Tiffany & Co opening then, a lot is riding on the reopening for Alexandre as he makes his bid for the crown. 
Which is why a lot of celebrities will be called in for the assist. And that includes celebrities from around the world, like BTS’s Jimin, who was seen leaving South Korea today en route to New York. Jimin was named global ambassador for Tiffany earlier this year. BLACKPINK’s Rosé also reps Tiffany. I would imagine that Tiffany would be calling in as many stars as they can for their event so there’s a good chance Rosé will there too. 
And of course this is taking place basically right before the Met Gala on Monday. Jimin signed with Dior a few months ago and they probably wouldn’t mind getting allllll kinds of attention thanks to Jimin, especially when you consider the spending power not only of BTS’s ARMY but the East Asian consumer market in general. As I’ve previously mentioned, Asia-Pacific is the largest consumer of luxury goods in the world. These brands KNOW that much of their income comes from that side of the planet. 
But Jimin could be checking off multiple boxes while he’s in the US. His bandmate, Suga, just released his new album, D-Day, last Friday and is kicking off his tour this week. There’s been fan speculation that Jimin might join Suga at one of his shows. But Suga also happens to be in the New York area this weekend and has a free night on Monday – and he’s an ambassador for Valentino. So… will Suga and Jimin be at the Met Gala?
