KINGS of the #AMAs 👑 @bts_bighit

대통령님은 5만규모가 왜 필요한지 알고 계신데 정작 유관부서인 문체부는 창동 아레나 생긴다고 일하는 척만 하네. 창동 아레나 누구 코에 붙이냐. 지방선거 끝나고 나서야 지자체 선정이라니 아무것도 안한거네. 대통령 임기안엔 아무것도 안하겠다는 강한 의지만 느껴져ㅠㅠ

스벅이 이렇게 사망선고를 받는구나. 별로 애도하고싶진 않네. 잘가라.

🇺🇸[Star News] 260518 “It Felt Like a Hongdae Karaoke Room at 2 A.M.” How U.S. Media Is Reviewing BTS Concerts These Days After BTS wrapped up the first show at Stanford Stadium in California, major local media outlets poured out rave reviews. One detail especially caught attention: a leading American newspaper critic naturally referenced “Hongdae karaoke” and “makgeolli” while describing the concert atmosphere. Critic Todd Inoue, writing for the San Francisco Chronicle, described the performances of “Butter” and “Dynamite” near the end of the show as “having the relaxed and natural energy of singing along with the crowd in a Hongdae karaoke room at 2 a.m. while tipsy on makgeolli.” It was the kind of expression that subtly revealed the critic’s familiarity with Korean culture and experiences in Korea. The fact that references like Hongdae and makgeolli could be used so naturally also showed how deeply Korean culture has permeated the local mainstream. Inoue added, “The BTS of 2026 is completely different from the BTS that performed at Oakland Arena in 2018,” analyzing that “this tour places more emphasis on each member’s live vocals and mature themes than on perfectly synchronized choreography.” He also honestly pointed out one disappointment, saying, “Because the concert started too early at 7 p.m., the lighting effects couldn’t fully shine while it was still bright outside.” Even so, he concluded, “The Stanford show proved that BTS is not yet ready to become a nostalgia act revisiting the past. There are still many new eras ahead for the current BTS.” Jim Harrington, pop critic for the Mercury News, declared the concert “the biggest pop culture event to hit the Bay Area this year.” He added, “There will be major stadium concerts in the Bay Area this year, including Usher and Chris Brown at Levi’s Stadium, but no show will inspire this level of passion, excitement, and fandom in the best possible sense quite like BTS.” Reviewing the group’s roughly 23-song, two-hour setlist, Harrington praised BTS for delivering “a truly solid pop concert.” He also noted that “the best moments of the show were actually when the members briefly stepped away from the massive stage production and connected directly with the audience.” Kiren Kaur of Bay Area music outlet Riff Magazine wrote, “Returning to the Bay Area for the first time in eight years, BTS came back bigger, more intense, and emotionally expanded than ever before.” #JIN #방탄소년단진 @sfchronicle @mercnews @BTS_twt
