Around 6500 fans flocked to the venue that night for at the live concert. Signaling the start to Wednesday’s show, the venue was awash in blue light as the opening anthem of the band’s rock score 0X1=Lovesong (I Know I Love You) rang out. The boys jumped onto the stage, decked out in glamorous pink outfits like prince. After ending their lung-busting first song, TXT members gathered at center stage to face their fans. A sea of fans feverishly welcomed the members, screaming and lighting up their lights sticks at every word from the members.

Around 6500 Indonesian MOAs were at the venue

The show had been carefully coordinated to reflect TXT’s world building narrative, which had been told through the band’s “The Dream Chapter” and “The Chaos Chapter” album series and the two “minisode” EPs bridging the two chapters. The boys ramped up the excitement with Wishlist, Blue Orangeade, and Magic. While tempering the hype a bit with Ghosting, they cranked up the energy once more with New Rules and a special remix of Puma. The ‘Puma’ remix performance included a solo dance break by Yeonjun that induced ear-splitting cheers from fans.

TXT members galloped around the main stage and a protruding platform as they continued to electrify fans with the songs What If I Had Been That Puma and LO$ER=LO♡ER, while cooing into fans’ ears with the balladic tune Trust Fund Baby. TXT members surprised MOAs with their Indonesian skill and fan service. Huening Kai keep saying ‘mantul’- a short form for mantap betul, it means very nice. Not only that, Huening Kai did Yeonjun's rap part 'Blockbuster', which was Yeonjun's featuring song in Enhypen's Dimension : Dilemma released a year ago. Taehyun sang “Hati-Hati di Jalan’, an Indonesian hit song by Tulus singer. Soobin teased fans, “Sayang, udah makan?”, it means “Darling, have you eat?”, which was greeted by excited shouts from Indonesia MOAs.

From here on, the members performed 11 songs almost nonstop. The energy inside the venue ramped up as the boys ran through some of their biggest hits, including Crown, Magic Island, Run Away, Blue Hour Dance Break Version, Frost, Maze In The Mirror, Eternally, Can’t You See Me?, Opening Sequence, Lonely Boy, and Anti-Romantic.

Wrapping up the official set list with its latest release, Good Boy Gone Bad, TXT brought a real close to the night with three encore performances: Thursday’s Child Has Far To Go, MOA Diary (Dubaddu Wari Wari), and Sweat. While performing the song Thursday’s Child Has Far To Go, the fifth member walking to the audience area greeted MOAs more closely. The highlight of the night came with the final encore, Sweat, the bandmates’ self-written hidden track which has been officially released only in https://txt-theanswers.com/eternity/. MOAs successfully did surprise events for TXT. The first one is to make starlight using the cellphone’s flash and the second one is raise up the banner toward the stage for TXT.

In the members’ final speech of the night, Taehyun promises they will come back to Indonesia in the bigger venue and invites more fans. Beomgyu said that he learnt became to be someone support and said that Moas support them in every moment so he thanks to MOAs.“Stay healthy until we meet again. See you next time, thank you for coming today. Love you! Sayang..Aku cinta kamu!!”, he added. “Wherever we are, we will sing for you MOAs. We promise our MOAs that we will always give our best on stage. So that every precious moment that we shared can help you trust us and lead us in the better direction. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow please shared it with us. Sampai jumpa lagi,” Soobin said.

Kicking off in Jakarta, TXT will continue its “Act: Love Sick” world tour in Bangkok on October 23 and Manila on October 27-28, 2022.

I don’t understand time, but I know that it passes too quickly. We use ‘fast and slow’ in comparison to our own individual experiences, and in our short lives. Surprisingly we have 3 months left until the end of 2022. Here I want to share my recaps when i celebrated BTS Proof album release and BTS anniversary few months ago.

1. Namjooning

Basically the act of namjooning is RM BTS also known as Kim Namjoon-trying to not go insane in this world. Namjooning is Joon’s grounding. Like it’s more than going to a museum, a nature walk, and reflection. It allows him to be Kim Namjoon and more in-tuned with who Namjoon is.

How endeared I’ve been when I went to Museum MACAN-is a modern & contemporary art museum in Jakarta, Indonesia, and found out same exhibition as Namjoon visited years ago. There were 4 exhibitions at the moment but I do pointed out two same. First, Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirrored Room-Brilliance of the Souls. This popular installation can be viewed in a new area inside the museum. Infinity Mirrored Room is a series of installation created by Yayoi Kusama to depict a borderless reality. Infinity is a key concept within Kusama’s oeuvre. Namjoon visited it in the Bonte Museum, Jeju Island on August 2019. From Museum MACAN’s collection, I also found out Yoshitomo Nara’s works. Back then January 2019, Namjoon posted one of his masterpiece in BTS’s twitter. It was one of the charity postcard set for 3.11 earthquake which Yoshitomo Nara created in 2011. It is sold at Art & Design Store, 3F Roppongi Hills.

the staff just gave visitor maximum 1 minute per person to took of photos or videos

2. My BTS Story

This is a collaboration campaign with Youtube in celebration of BTS 9th anniversary and Proof album release. They launched Youtube shorts #MyBTStory where ARMY shared their favourite BTS moments throughout the year. They featured this shorts into Yet To Come music video released on July 12, 2022. I joined this campaign (https://youtu.be/672decTdHlI ), unfortunately they didn’t include my part inside the MV but no worries I enjoyed it so much.

This event also marked by the presence of a big statue or pop-up in a purple BTS logo which placed at four predetermined points. We were so lucky, Indonesia, at Kota Kasablanka, South Jakarta, is the only Asian country on the list. While three other locations where the BTS logo placed were Santa Monica Pier, L.A, Bryant Park, NYC, and Bayside Marketplace, Miami. I remember Kota Kasablanka is the first place BTS had their fanmeeting or mini showcase when they visited Indonesia back in 2015. They performed 12 songs and had a hi-touch event with Indonesian ARMY. This pop-up lasted for 6 days from June 10 to June 16, 2022 and I was glad could capturing the moments.

3. Frank & Co. x Tiny Tan

Frank & Co., an Indonesian premium jewellery brand, released product collaboration with TinyTAN (BTS-inspired animated characters) on June 8, 2022 at Central Park Mall, West Jakarta. I went to the booth and saw this special collection is really interesting. Frank & co.'s TinyTAN Special Collection is part of the #NyatakanDenganFranknco campaigns. This collection consist of gold diamond necklaces and bracelets, presenting seven TinyTAN characters, starting from RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook. It priced from IDR 6 million (bracelet) to IDR 10 million (necklace).

4. 7 Day ARMY Party

Spotify Kpop was held an official BTS ARMY Listening Party for 7 days after Proof album was released on June 10, 2022. This event was available on June 16, 2022 until Wednesday, June 22, 2022 at 11-12 pm ET. This experience was only available for Spotify Premium users. #7DayARMYParty with new and daily themed BTS playlists featuring new and old songs that ARMY loved. Spotify Indonesia has the official BTS merch giveaways which are exclusive for ARMY. During one hour listening party, we took a screenshot of the 7-day ARMY listening page site, posted the screenshot of the day with hashtag and how we feel about ARMY Party in the caption and send it to Spotify Indonesia twitter account. I was lucky enough getting merch on the 7th day. I didn’t expected I got the Premium BTS Logo: The Color of Love Edition presented by Sideshow, which is specializing popular characters from highly recognized brands such as Star Wars, Marvel, DC Comics, Alien & Predator, Terminator, The Lord of the Rings, G.I. Joe and many more. Since the Logo inspired by almost 8 years of BTS musical artistry I would treasure it for sure.

We’re not waiting, but moving ahead together. I hope none of us stand in the same place. That we’re able to sail our separate ways in this wide galaxy for a little while, and finally meet on a familiar island. I’ll miss you as seven, but not so much that you’ll feel burdened, and I’ll use that part of my love to look forward to you as individuals whilst you find your own lights and shine even brighter. To what’s yet to come. Thank you for being a reason I can look back on my youth as being the most beautiful of moments. To my best friend, BTS, I don’t have a single doubt that we’ll meet each other again soon, let’s keep running.

For those who have not heard about them before, TORRIDEN is Korean skin care brand established in 2015. Torriden has top-selling DIVE-IN line contains low molecular weight hyaluronic acid proven to promote cell renewal, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to restore a youthful look. CELLMAZING, another top-selling line, contains centella asiatica extract to calm skin and stimulate cell growth. Both lines are carefully formulated to cater to skin’s everyday needs. As the guiding star of your voyage, Torriden reveals the path to finding the right ingredients for your skin.

Thank you so much Style Korean^^ They were generous enough to send me TRY ME REVIEW ME “TORRIDEN” for review purpose. These following review are my own opinion based on my experience while testing the products for at least three weeks.

Hyaluronic Acid (or HA) is an essential part of your skin, one that gradually depletes as skin ages allowing for wrinkles and dryness. So, it only makes sense that we support our skin by returning this essential ingredient. There are four different products in this collection :

1. DIVE-IN Low Molecule Hyaluronic Acid Toner

Main Ingredients: 5D Complex Hyaluronic Acid, Allantoin, Malachite Extract

Details Product:

- Low molecular hyaluronic acid and 5D-combination hyaluronic acid form a 3D network to quickly provide moisture and care for tight skin

- A special finish texture with a soft hydration feels comfortable to protect the skin every day

- Quickly absorbed by 5D complex hyaluronic acid for a moist and refreshing finish

How to Use:

After washing my face, dispense an appropriate an amount onto a cotton pad or sometimes i just use my face palm and apply on my face

Experience:

As the first ‘real’ step in your skincare routine, this should be used after double cleansing. This is a toner that I think most people would enjoy using because it's simple, to the point and it easily introduce it into your routine. I've been using it twice a day and it's hydrating since I am combination skin! My skin stays hydrated & plump unlike with other toners. I found this toner light watery, so I was impressed by the amount of hydration that I got from it. This would be saving because i got huge bottle and i don't need a lot to apply in it :)

It's just that I think that it'd be too lightweight for people with super dry skin, it only replenishes the need of adequate hydration when applied more than one layer.

2. DIVE-IN Low Molecule Hyaluronic Acid Serum

Main Ingredients: 5D Complex Hyaluronic Acid, D-Panthenol, Malachite Extract

Details Product:

-5D complex hyaluronic acid provides an intensive moisturizing effect from the inside out skin soothing and moisturizing serum
-Refreshing water gel formula in sky blue color
-Powerful moisturization increases the moisture content of the skin
-Takes care of inner moisturization to soothe dry skin
-Reduces skin stress to increase the vitality of the skin

How to Use:

Dispense an appropriate amount evenly to the skin and pat to promote absorption.

Experience:
As a second step to your routine, it came in a quite big size because I usually use a 30ml serum. The dropper is very comfortable to use and can hold a full drop of serum. The DIVE-IN Serum will build moisture benefits. The lightweight, water-based gel consistency of this serum gives an instant soothing effect over sensitive skin. It still absorbs relatively fast and is totally non-sticky, leaving skin feeling fresh and instantly supple. The refreshing scent is similar to the toner, but doesn’t linger too long.

3. DIVE-IN Soothing Cream

Main Ingredients: 5D Complex Hyaluronic Acid, Trehalose, Patented Ingredient Blue Complex

Details Product:

- 5D Complex Hyaluronic Acid
- Application of Torriden's unique Waterball Holding System
- Non-sticky, moisture-packed feeling of use

How to Use:

Use spatula and apply on the face and gently pat to absorb the skin

Experience:

As a third step to your routine, the Dive-In Soothing Cream comes with jar packaging and spatula in it. Honestly, I prefer a jar to a tube. It is easier to dig all the products on a jar packaging than a tube or another type of container.

I am quite picky over my moisturizer because it's so hard to find the perfect feel for my skin. But this Dive-In Soothing Cream is giving it all! It has a gel-cream texture in white color. The thing I love the most about this cream is it's not sticky when I use a thick layer. It's so comfortable to use after serum or sheet mask usage. It has Waterball Holding System that gives a refreshing feeling like the water drops in our skin. It's not greasy and absorbs quickly on my skin.

4. DIVE-IN Low Molecule Hyaluronic Acid Mask Pack

Main Ingredients: 5D Complex Hyaluronic Acid, D-Panthenol, Malachite Extract

Details Product:

- Moisturizing & Soothing & Vitality
- Low molecule hyaluronic acid with D-Panthenol

How to Use:

1 Apply mask on clean and towel dried face.
2 Keep mask on face for 10-20 minutes.
3 When time is up, remove mask and gently pat excess essence onto face and neck until fully absorbed.

Experience:

And for the final step of your routine, you can’t go past a sheet mask.This is an eco-friendly mask made from 100% cellulose fabric which is really soft. It also fits my face perfectly. This sheet mask essence is applied enough, not sticky and very absorb.

Conclusion

After using this Dive-In series for about three weeks, I feel my skin became so healthy and soothed. It also helps improve my skin texture. What i love from all this products are fragrance free and hypoallergenic. I fall in love the most on Torriden Soothing Cream! It's quite basic, but it does its job pretty well as moisturizer! :)

I'm so happy just received my E-certificate after completing my online lecturer of Spacing Words in Korean. Back one month ago, April, Korean Cultural Center Indonesia (KCCI) holding an online class entitled "Spacing Words in Korean 2021". This event is divided into three sessions which are held every Wednesday starting at 10:00 WIB with Ms. Kim Hyun Ju, Senior Staff for the King Sejong Institute Foundation as a teacher.

What is the use of spacing word in Korean? The space itself is the distance between words which is used to make a sentence easier to understand and so that the meaning in the sentence can be conveyed accurately. In addition to studying spacing, we will also study other things related to writing in Korean, such as the difference between dependent nouns and postpositions, what are the provisions that must be known when writing in Korean and so on.

This class was opened in response to requests from many Korean language teachers and students who admitted that they had difficulty placing spaces in Korean grammar writing. This class was welcomed enthusiastically by the Indonesian people, even registration had to close early because the number of registrants had exceeded the limit.

The first class session was opened on April 14, 2021, and continued with the second and third class sessions which were held on April 21 and 28, 2021. The material discussion in this class is designed to guide participants so that they can write spaces correctly in actual practice. There are also lessons to transfer the meaning of speech into good and correct writing so that it is easy to understand when read.

the 2nd class session was on April 21, 2021

This online lecture will certainly be very useful especially for those who work in the field of Korean language education, those who are studying Korean at the intermediate level and above, or those who are preparing to take the TOPIK 2 exam.

To myself after i learnt about spacing surely it broaden my understanding of Korean writing. The use of spaces in Korean writing is confusing. The most important key to mastering it is understanding the basic rules of writing the spacing itself. Also this class was a great opportunity for people to understand more clearly about Korean grammar spacing. I hope that there will be other classes related to Korean in the future.

Thank you so much KCCI!!

Halo kawan ^^

Dua minggu yang lalu aku dikasih kesempatan oleh K-GO! 2020 team buat review dua produk skincare dari kota Daegu yang terkenal dengan cuaca panasnya di Korea..so langsung saja ya!

1. CICA LAMP ESSENCE

Deskripsi produk :

1) Essence yang membantu mencerahkan kulit

2) Mengandung 50% bahan cica yang bisa membantu pemulihan kulit

3) Produk yang aman karena hanya mengandung bahan-bahan bebas hypoallergenic

4) Tergolong produk antiaging yang bisa mengurangi kemungkinan munculnya keriput

Berat : 60 ml

Harga : 27000 won ~ Rp. 485.000

Cara penggunaan: pump sebanyak 3-4 kali lalu oleskan pada seluruh bagian muka sampai leher lalu ditepuk-tepuk secara perlahan agar lebih cepat meresap

Review

Waktu lihat pertama kali kemasannya ini unik banget! Mereka punya huruf braille yang jarang kita temukan pada produk skincare. Dari segi tekstur tidak terlalu kental dan pumpnya waktu dipencet tidak boros saat mengeluarkan cairannya terus essence ini cepat banget nyerap ke wajah. Awalnya aku agak gimana buat nyobain soalnya kulitku sensitif (makanya produk skincareku itu-itu saja) tapi pas tahu dites ke kulit tangan gak kenapa-napa lalu aku terusin pakai dan hasilnya emang sebagus itu. selama pengunaan 2 minggu ini kondisi kulitku alhamdulillah sedang baik alias tidak ada jerawat hormonal.

Bangun pagi kulit jadi kenyal dan fresh lembab gitu. Senang deh bakal diawet-awet essencenya dengan harga segitu so worth it ^^

2. DAEGU CITY SUNCREAM

Deskripsi produk :

1) Melindungi kulit dari sinar UV tanpa merusak kulit

2) Membantu mencegah masuknya debu halus ke kulit

3) Membantu mencegah blue light dari smart phone

4) Sudah teruji tidak menyebabkan iritasi walau dipakai 48 jam

Berat : 50 ml

Harga : 25000 won

Cara penggunaan: keluarkan secukupnya dan oleskan pada permukaan kulit (bisa digunakan pada wajah maupun bagian tubuh lain yang terkena matahari)

Review

Sama seperti kemasan essencenya, suncream ini juga friendly dengan huruf braille. Aku juga cinta dengan kandungan SPF 50+ PA++++ produk ini tidak meninggalkan white cast dan tidak berminyak. Apalagi cepat menyerap ke kulit wajah, leher dan bagian tubuh yang lain. Aku rasa ini suncream terbaik yang aku pakai. Tentunya kulitku terlindung dari paparan UV yah! Next tube kedua bisa purchase lagi nih :)

Oiya kedua produk diatas bisa kalian cek di http://www.eqqualberry.com/ atau instagram @eqqualberry

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

Love at first face masks! The packaging design is really cute and it has a very colorful print. This hydrogel mask can be open and unfold easily. I put this mask in the refrigerator and i think it soothes more effectively. The sheet sticks to my face well. For heart goggle one, it also set along the smile Iine cheeks and nose as well as the care under the eyes. Well, the heart goggle mask claimed it can lifting eyes, cheeks wrinkles or vitalizing dark circles & cheeks redness skin. I don't think there is big differencies between this variance masks because i just took it turns for my first time. Sure it takes effort regularly to get the result but i'm sure the part when i woke up my skin blessed like honey, full of moisture, and fresh sense. The glitter can remain on my skin and expressed it a glossy skin. Very satisfied with it. I also love the idea this mask is eco-friendly!!

Don't worry to check their website because English is available ^^
