I kinda love that Hobi is keeping his cat’s names and pictures private for now. I can understand wanting that boundary and respect him for being so clear about it.

The image is a collage of 2 pics. On top is a screenshot Yoongi posted on IG story in 2022 during Jungkook World's Cup performance and it shows 4 pics of a black kitty on the recent taken of his gallery. On bottom it shows Yoongi holding his black cat named Tang that he presented on weverse live. He's smiling to the camera, wearing a black shirt, glasses and hair tie on his wrist. Tang is looking with his bright yellow eyes to the side. Yoongi's hair is long.

Tae absolutely loves to mess with us but he knows that we know this! It makes it impossible to guess what’s happening now. He’s such a tease. I love it.

i may be baby army but what’re the chances kim taehyung is trolling us all 🤔 also remember when he took a pic of black hair on the floor and everyone assumed he buzzed his hair for ms (& some army actually shaved their head) & he posts a pic of himself with a full head of hair 😭

What a tragic loss, that's far too young... I'm sure he'll be remembered for many things, but ARMY will always remember him for his deep insight, and his willingness to put his reputation on the line to speak up about things he saw as important, even when others were dismissive or cynical.

Here again with another Yoongi edit, from today's OT7 live.

The original screenshot (yes I went through the live to find that same exact frame 😠) is obviously much smaller and blurrier, so the AI has done a lot of editing and guesstimating in terms of his facial features.

Explanations in ALT text.

I've written "This image is an AI/remini edit" at the bottom of the picture. It's a cropped pic of Yoongi from the BTS live on Dec 21, 2025. He's sitting on a couch in front of a christmas tree leaning his elbows against his knees and fiddling with his fingers. He's looking to his right at Namjoon (left on the picture).

The quality is obviously way too high for something that was cropped from a small area of the screen. This becomes especially apparent if you look at the original screenshot posted next to this one.

The most obvious tell is the skin, as usual. It's too flawless and resembles a porcelain doll. During the live, there were harsh overhead lights which cast shadows on the face, but none of that is visible here. It's all just very smooth. The shadows are soft and the face is very evenly lit even though the room doesn't have the lighting to match.

Another tell is usually the eyes, but the edit is not so sharp that it would draw immediate attention. But what I noticed with the eyes is that (to me) they don't look like Yoongi's eyes. They're giving uncanny valley, like that's supposed to be Yoongi but it's NOT. Also the color of the whites is too even and white for the lighting conditions.

The lips are plumper and redder than in the original screenshot. The nose is also slightly narrower, as is the face overall. Yes, this edit actually altered his features to make him look more feminine!

Overall, this image is a bit more subtle than some other edits, because if you don't look at it beside the unedited one, there isn't anything glaringly wrong with it at a glance. No warped fingers of melting jewelry. It's blurry enough to hide the most obvious editing. But it's actually worse in that sense, because it's NOT as obvious, but it's changed Yoongi's features ever-so-slightly. And if we keep looking at these edits without realizing they're edits, it will alter our perception of reality. That's why I think it's important to recognize them.

This is the same frame from the live, but it's the original blurry screenshot.

Was anyone else totally distracted by Hobi sitting like this?!? 🥵

j-hope of BTS sitting on the corner of a couch with his legs spread and leaning forward with elbows resting on his thighs. He’s in jeans and a brown t-shirt and he somehow is oozing sexiness just by sitting there.

Okay, so I’m traveling and running from train to train but just saw a screenshot of the live and Yoongi squished in the very middle makes me want to burst into tears. Ugh. I love them so. 😭

i didn't see anyone talking about tae praising jin so :

🐻To me, Jin hyung is someone who shows his authentic self a lot to others, as you know.
🐰Right, correct!
🐻Never pretentious and is natural and down-to-earth. He just shows himself genuinely the way he truly is. It's so amazing/cool and +

I’m traveling and was sitting in a tiny cafe in Prague and they had a Tae playlist on! The staff came to clean the table next to mine and we were both quietly singing along. I love meeting ARMY in the wild. 🥰

Do NOT create chatbots based on creators you like. It is creepy. It is the wildest, nastiest, creepshit thing you can do omfg please act like someone normal raised you! This is for everyone in every fandom! Don't do this shit!

I have just found out that some reprehensible fucking dork has made an AI chatbot based on the character I played on The Magnus Archives and *it has my voice*. I genuinely don't think I have ever felt so fucking violated. My actual voice. Saying things I have never said. I feel sick.
