My dedication to wearing K-pop shirts every day I teach paid off today with two Yeonjun/TXT fans in the hallway recognizing him on my shirt 😍

I teach literature, writing, and storytelling through K-pop. I am an ARMY ENGENE MOA ONEDOOR P1ECE and an incurable multi with a huge enthusiasm for new K-pop groups. I'd love to connect with other academics who study/write about/or just love K-pop!
I thought the Taemin presale was tomorrow so I ended up having to buy a ticket in class while my students were doing some in-class writing 😅
Jungkook's birthday has me thinking about a now-distant acquaintance who would definitely call themselves ARMY but who nonetheless has declared that they aren't "that impressed" by JK and they really don't see what the fuss is all about. Like ...
Two Fools is such a cute lil opener for the Enhypen album
That whole 10 acts/bands you've seen ... like, K-pop only edition or everything over the course of my lifetime edition 😅
Haven't watched a BND dance practice in a minute and this one doesn't disappoint at all 😍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=zysB...

Dreamt that I was at a party with Jin and he was wearing a sweatshirt with a cut neckline like Flashdance style with a satin tank top underneath
Had a great conversation with my K-pop students about the Grammys/BTS/Asian Pop issue today and it was just really fun and rewarding to listen to 🥹
I happened to be at this museum the day NYT photographers and reporters were coming thru. If you come to Seoul and are interested in history this *must* be on your list of places to go. I cannot stress enough how important it is to visit this place. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/26/w...
Confronting South Korea’s Violent Past and Its Echoes Today
The National Museum of Korean Democracy, which opened last year, documents an era of brutal suppression. But that dark history has resurfaced in troubling ways.

TEN ticket purchased! Can't believe he's going to be here in Baltimore!!!!!!
For the second day of K-pop class, I'm doing a mini lesson on BTS and the Grammys Asian Pop category issue. Do you have any favorite articles, reactions, commentary on this? I have a few articles already but I want to see if there is something essential still out there.
These absolute nerds (said with immense affection)

Okay, first day of classes outfit with Arirang RM jersey has been planned!
Absolute distress at missing tonight's Toronto show so hubs and I are brokering a deal for either Chicago or LA 😂
No we're getting the full Kpop experience at my gate with Boompala blasting 😂
As a Dope (high maintenance) Old Person, I can't believe I just withstood standing out in the rain in a flimsy poncho holding an ARMY bomb with a Ziploc bag over the top screaming my lungs out at seven hot dudes doing various shenanigans on stage 😅
Before the BTS Baltimore shows, I joined a Facebook group for concert info, etc. The talk was and continues to be about merch, merch, merch. I find it really strange! How to get more merch, where to source the most merch, and even freebies. So many people lamenting having missed out on freebies
