Thanks Taehyung for a welcome dose of J-Hope on my timeline. This was the Vhopekook Las Vegas outing last April when they were promoting the Bellagio's famous fountain display set to BTS music.
J-Hope published these photos on Instagram at the time.
and Tae posted these photos.
The Bellagio also posted the guys watching the fountain display on their Instagram
As well as this video on their Twitter account.
Afterwards a large and undoubtedly delicious meal was shared by the members and accompanying staff.
Check our J-Hope's video with all the food they ate. Jungkook was in his element our hungry bunny.
Recently found out that you can get 'friend married' in Vegas, and now I can't stop thinking about Taehyung immediately booking a trip for the two of you when he finds out!
I can't leave to enjoy a few days vacation without the world falling apart?
Hybe vs. Min HeeJin. Not on anyone's bingo card this year. I have not caught up on everything but who tipped off Hybe about her dastardly plans? The timing of it all... and her little extemporaneous skit she did for a press conference was perhaps part of her plan to turn public opinion in her favor? She claims to have invented kpop or at least made it what it is today but out the other side of her mouth says she hates idol culture?
Hybe's not here to play, they will not be nice. I see no benefit to her for showing us the not so pretty side of the idol industry. Maybe that's her problem, she can't see what she's doing because she's too far into it. Thirty years in the business will make you lose your objectivity. She has no idea she is coming across as a greedy, spoiled, entitled, manipulative, narcissistic, emotional female in a male dominated industry. Basically a nut case.
The lady had a tremendous opportunity to perhaps take ownership of her company in due time, become a great example for female leadership in a country where corporate culture is steeped in chaebolism. Instead she squandered that and thinks she will come out on top. Did she miss the Hybe vs. SM Entertainment episode from last year?
Anyway.
RM's new album! RPWP!
The Monochrome pop up store is doing well!
Jin will be back after 6 Fridays!
In other news. I went to Las Vegas. This is what I saw:
The Bellagio Fountains. They're huge. The Bellagio is SWANK. I looked for Jimin in Dior and Tiffany, Hobi in the Louis Vuitton store, Namjoon in the Bottega Veneta store, but none of them were in there. There was no Calvin Klein store.
When Hobi, JK and Tae were there watching the fountains dance to Dynamite, they were standing here:
Passed by Allegiant Stadium a few times. It's huge.
Drove out to Seven Magic Mountains. I am happy to report the lowest boulders had no writing or graffiti. They were amazingly huge as you can see.
Joon's pic of the above rocks:
Went to AREA 15 and it was HUGE and amazing! It's impossible to show everything that its about, there are multiple buildings and installations and activities, gift shops, bars, etc. We went into the Omega Mart (mega art) experience which led to a maze of fantastically created chambers, each different from the last one, all pulsing with animated lights, texture walls, ceilings and floors.
And ate at Hobak Korean BBQ. We couldn't find out which tables the members of BTS sat at but I got a pic of the Butter album they all signed. There were other autographs from other famous Korean celebs but the BTS signatures were displayed in a more prominent place on the wall.
We also scoped out The Sphere. Also HUGE. The concert space is arena sized. I don't know who was playing there that night but the parking lot was filling up.
We also walked the Strip.
The Fremont Street Experience. That's an animated video screen overhead with ziplines running through the length of it. It's two blocks of casinos, restaurants and gift shops. People are also doing busking and shows at street level.
Hoover Dam, view of the dam from the highway bridge and view of the highway bridge from the dam. Spent a few minutes on the Arizona side.
Hiked in the desert. Saw cactus and wildlife. Drank a lot of water.
Drove to the Mojave Desert Preserve in California just to say we did.
We hated leaving. It was a fun trip. But damn, I have so much stuff to catch up on now. Hiatus my ass.
If Vegas is on the BTS comeback tour I promise I will be there this time.
We gambled at the airport on our way out. The slot machines were next to our gate. And in the baggage claim area. But as you can see, its not just about gambling there.
In case you didn't get it, everything in Vegas is HUUUGGE and FARRRR. Walk a lot, spend a lot of money.
Overall, Las Vegas was clean, the people were extremely friendly and welcoming of course, they might be teaching hospitality as a school subject there, I don't know.
Can we talk about how strange it is that 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒎: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 has reshoots almost 1 month away from its release 😧?
Its filming was in Murcia, London, Alicante and Las Vegas, ending on the last day of February, but, I don't know for what reasons (in theory, for a post-credits scene added at the last minute and so we know that it will end well after selling the opposite with the trailer (thanks for letting us know it will end well)), they had to reshoot in New York in early August, they returned to the United Kingdom, and now they are in Las Vegas, also for reshoots of the film 🤔
They're not supposed to delay it, but I don't know what to think 😟
It seems very complicated, but let's hope that everything goes well and it will be released on 25 October without problems 🤞🏻🙏🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀
¿Podemos hablar de lo raro que está siendo que 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒎: 𝑬𝒍 Ú𝒍𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒐 𝑩𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒆 tenga regrabaciones a casi 1 mes de su estreno 😧?
Su rodaje fue en Murcia, Londres, Alicante y Las Vegas, terminando el último día de febrero, pero, no sé por qué razones (en teoría, por una escena poscréditos añadida a última hora y haciendo así que sepamos que va a acabar bien después de vender lo contrario con el tráiler (gracias por hacernos saber que acabará bien)), tuvieron que hacer regrabaciones en Nueva York a principios de agosto, volvieron a Reino Unido, y ahora están en Las Vegas, también para regrabaciones de la película 🤔
Se supone que no la van a retrasar, pero no sé qué pensar 😟
Es como muy complicado, pero confiemos en que todo vaya bien y se estrene el 25 de octubre sin problemas 🤞🏻🙏🏻
The timeline is overflowing with BTS and jikook but out of everything I've seen today, this is by far my favourite clip. In a few seconds it tells you all you need to know about Jimin and Jungkook and their relationship. Two guys who clicked over a love for performance and have inspired, loved and supported each other for over a decade. That eye contact, the nod, they communicate without words...
...and when they get on stage they have a blast.

When they look at each other at the end of a show there is nowhere else they would rather be and no one else they would rather be with.
Just a couple of bunnies enjoying their salads backstage 🐰💜🌿 PTD LV Jungkook and Jimin were too cute not to draw. Any time with Bangtan is always a good time 💜 More BTS fan art to come 💜 Prints and stickers too!~
