Link K-Pop Music Festival has another show coming on June 5th! There will be two live shows in Yokohama, but we're also getting a live streaming again. <3 <3 Tickets for the regular packs are already available. But tomorrow they'll also release the video call tickets. You can buy a call for each member + both streams or you can try for a relay call with all XD members. But be careful, the calls are limited to 10 pieces. If you want one, you have to be fast and lucky. (So see me not getting a call ๐ฅฒ)
Call date for XD is June 16th, Bao's date is June 11th. If you have any questions, let me know!
In case you can't get a call, there is still the Digi pack, where you receive video message (attention: it's usually not translated. If I get it myself, I'll make sure to post the translation up here, since they'll probably talk Japanese! ^^ If anybody is planning on getting Bao, please let me know! I'd love to share a translation of his video message, too!) and a moving 4-cut-card/video/picture-thingy. Find last years thingy under the cut!
Doha is coming to Romania ๐ท๐ด! Me being based in Europe means: I'll be going there to see him. With any luck, I'll be able to give him another set of photocards of his fans. Last time, for his birthday, we had 5 lovely fans to give him and during my last video call, he said thanks for the present. He really, REALLY liked it (I'll send a clip to everyone who participated last time ๐) Which makes me even more eager to create this second round!!
No matter where you're from, please consider participating! You only have to send me a cute picture of yourself, fill out the form (you can leave a message for him there!) and I'll do the rest ๐
I've attached a video of my own pictures of the final cards. They'll be looking something like this again :D
The cards will be given to him on 16-17 May at K-Mania so we don't have much time. Deadline is May 8th!! Feel free to share the project or tag your local fan bases. I hope we'll get a few more cards done this time! ๐
You can also find here the video of my own cards. The new version will look similar to this :)
Today was video call day so of course Doha came online for a bit to chat with us! Here's a little overview:
He'll be in Taiwan soon and mentioned his departure and arrival times, but I didn't write them down... In any case, I hope fans will welcome him nicely :)
He showed off a nice polaroid camera (instax mini 99) which apparently takes extra nice polaroids and has integrated filter settings at the camera! He took 3 pictures - puppy pose and index finger on chin. The last one was one with his mouth open - if you know THE Doha face, it was that one - and he absolutely hated that polaroid, he nearly didn't show us ๐ He wanted to give those away for his Christmas or Birthday live, but he pretended to put the polas in his mouth and they touched his teeth so he said he can't give them out now... Fans pleaded to still give it away but we'll see about that ๐
After his June schedule (currently the last one on his website is Link K-Pop) he will take a step back for a while to spend time with his mother and maybe go on a trip. (He really warms my heart so much. I chose the absolute right man to be a fan of ๐ญ) I'm not sure what he said about video calls in that time, but if any of you knows if he said if he will have them or not during his break, let me know. :)
When saying goodbye someone said "๋นจ๋ฆฌ ๊ฐ" (=hurry up and go!) so Doha pretended to stay longer lol
he showed off his collar bone. Not sure what else he said there but it had to do with his motorcycle video that everybody has been in love with recently ๐ (And oh my, look at the views, at this moment it has close to 70K views, where his other videos are usually between 10-30K...)
He also said he'd do an insta live after bubble for 5 minutes - and he appeared :D
Insta live summary
Someone asked him to go to Indonesia, so he said he'd love to go
He was asked if he knows Jongkook from BTS (srsly why would anybody ask in an idol's stream about another idol? It's an insta-block from me...) He said of course, it's his favorite member
Park Doha will return to Brazil in November 2026. Spread the word :D
Apparently he took a nap after the video calls so he wasn't too tired at this point (it was like 2am in Korea when he was live)
Someone asked about doing a TikTok live, but Doha explained that there is this match system where you battle other streamers and he's not sure about that so he'll think about doing lives there for now... He doesn't feel like it fits him well with that battle system.
He thinks his face is more handsome on insta live than on bubble live ๐
He explained the bubble lives are mostly in Korean which is why he did an Insta live additionally to the bubble live for the overseas fans
People asked him to come to country x and y and z too, so he said he wished he could go everywhere and if he has the chance, he will!
He wished everyone a good night in as many languages as he managed XD (English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, German, Indonesian...that's all I can remember lol)
It is long overdue, but I am finally here with a report of the 2 days that we celebrated Doha's birthday! This part of the report is Part 1, where I mostly talk about the fan projects I visited on March 27th - but I did manage to see Doha at two of the stops for a bit, so stay tuned! Since I can't keep it short, please find all pictures and the full story under the cut.
First of all, there were 7 Stations in total - and I really have to thank Doha's fans so much for showering him with love and making all these stops possible. I really had such an amazing and fun day while visiting them all, running into fans here and there and appreciating what they made for Doha and their fellow fans. Every stop was decorated and prepared with so much love. Thank you all so, so much.
Here's a short overview of all the stops including links to the posts!

Birthday Fragrance Event
I think this one might deserver a bit of an explanation, because it was one of my favorite spots. It is a perfume store. You can go in, scan your favorite picture of Doha and the app will analyze the picture and suggest three scents to you. Then you proceed to the next room and smell the three scents and you can buy one of them (or multiple, I guess...). Another set was some kind of fragrant cushion, probably for your closet to keep the clothes smelling fresh? There also was a screen where we could leave messages for Doha.
Flowershop Event
Another station that deserves an explanation. This was a beautiful, small flower shop. By buying a set of flowers you also got a few freebies like prints of Doha. There was a space to sit down and the fan in charge of this stop also offered scratch cards where you could win different photocard prints, polaroids and other things! The hole decoration was also VERY amazing. All CDs releases of Doha lined up, pictures from small until now. A screen playing his videos. It was decorated with a lot of love. <3

Subway Ads 3
***
Listed above was my route through the stops! The first two ads were thankfully at the same spot. We just had to wait for multiple other ads to finish - which was fun, because I knew some other idols screened, too! Don't mind the blurry photocard. It was harder than I thought to take these and because it was the first stop I was simply excited, I couldn't focus on both, the ad and taking a picture... Sorry!
Then it was time to walk to two of the photo spots! The first one was a very fancy photobooth and I had to figure out a way to make it accept my card payment, because of course it didn't accept my cash I had exchanged previously. But the pictures were the best from picture quality! Fun fact I didn't know: some of these newer picture machines will film you while taking pictures and you can download the film of how you looked while taking photos. I didn't know so I look goofy as heck but I love that concept! :D (Sorry, I'm an old school japanese purikura machine girlie... There aren't really many (any???) of these machines where I'm from...)
The second machine was easier and more what I was used to. There were 2 frames. I was a bit over finding new poses by the 4th picture, but taking pictures alone is only half as much fun. I'd suggest bringing a friend, if you can!
Both picture booth locations were lovingly decorated with Doha photos, pinned to the wall in form of a heart. Apparently, some people leave their leftover photos and stick them to the walls of these photo booth locations and since I mistakenly printed FOUR of the green frames at first, I pinned one to the wall. I hope I didn't break any unspoken rule of idol birthday etiquette, but I promise I still had enough pictures for myself and felt ok pinning it to that wall.
Then comes my favorite spot of the tour! The perfume store! In my life, I have owned and used only 3 perfumes. I usually don't wear them, so I was a bit worried I might dislike the stop, but I decided that whatever it was, I'd just get everything. So I walked in and the lady asked me which of the two options I wanted, and I said "Both!" in Korean. She was so kind and talked more in Korean with me, but I felt bad because I only understood like...40% of what she said. She still explained very well to scan my favorite photo (I scanned that photocard I used in all the picutres, by the way. It's definitely one of my favorite Doha pictures. And it was the one I had fastest at hand) and then the app loaded and loaded. Because the internet plan I had bought decided this was the time to be as slow as a snail (don't get Holafly...) but finally, three options popped up. The first one was something with sea salt (?), the second one with yuzu and the third one had something with rosemary. In any case, I only really liked the yuzu one, chose to buy that one and I am obsessed with it since then. I also want to say again that the ladies in the store were the embodiment of kindness and friendliness. I felt welcome and in all honesty, if I had known how much I'd like this perfume, I'd have tried a second picture and bought another one. I am so thankful to the people who worked on this stop. It was very unique and fun!
In the store there were two very tall screens on which you could send a heart with your message in it. Only downside: you can only write in one go. No letting go of a letter because that just sends the message onto the screen. Well, make way for my horrible cursive! I managed to write a little "Happy Doha Day" and was very proud of myself XD (Probably because the kind ladies in the store were applauding me haha)
Look, I'm not saying it's written beautifully, but mine is the top heart in this picture and it's one of the few proper messages. I'm so proud of that haha I've also added a picture of the beautiful decoration in the store.
Next I went into the flower store. It was probably the most intimidating place, because there were actually other fans there and I felt shy and was confused because the poster told us there is also a scratch-card? In any case, I bought the beautiful flowers and then I bought three scratch cards. Every card had a price in it, so I received 2 times a card that had Doha with glasses on the front - and at the same the same image but lenticular - so his eyes would 'disappear' behind the glasses. And I don't remember 100% but I think the third price was a picture-series in form of a negative? It had Love to Love moments of Doha on it. I loved all the presents. <3
Now I felt at an disadvantage here because actually I would've loved to buy like 10 more of these scratch cards. But I don't know the etiquette - how much is too much? I didn't want to buy them before others had a chance and I wasn't sure if buying too many would be seen as rude... Now thinking back, I imagine whatever money comes in through the scratch cards probably buys other fanclub activities for Doha so I feel stupid for not buying more. IN ANY CASE. They were very nice there. I met another international fan, but sadly she didn't tell me her name when we met later. I took a few pictures and left.
So up until here my friends were very brave. They stuck through every stop with me but were getting really hungry. That's why we decided to go eat. We went to our favorite Bibimbap store and that's when I saw that Doha was already touring the stops. I thought He'd come to one or maybe two stops but this crazy man loves his fans so much, he made the full tour... (But...keep in mind: he said on bubble that next year he probably won't be able to do a tour like this anymore. Because there have been some accusations that aren't true and it's just not good to keep it up, if it causes problems. It also takes quite a lot of time...)
Doha shared he's at the photo spot that I hadn't done yet - and with how the stops were laid out, I thought he'd probably go to the flower shop soon, which wasn't too far - but we were here eating! Since my friends seemed tired...I wolfed down my food and excused myself. Because even if it's just a glimpse, I did want to see Doha.
I went up to the flower shop - and fans were already standing outside. You have to imagine, the shop is on the upper level, so there's stairs going up. Some kind Japanese fans explained that if I had bought the flowers previously, I could go up and in, and so I did! I didn't see much, but many fans gathered and Doha talked and looked at everything. Did some jokes with everyone. I just stayed in the back at the door. It's so surreal to finally see him standing there in person, just like that, after three years. He kept saying he should leave and making his way towards the door so I was jumping in and out of the store like some lunatic... Sorry about that!
He left the store and went to the perfume shop, which was in the same street. Everybody followed him nicely, while he waved at everyone. Now the perfume shop was on a lower level, so you had to go downstairs to access it. Some were bold enough to follow him, but I just stood outside with most of the others and looked how he experienced the spot on his own. I really wonder if he got a perfume and what it smelled like haha
The most fun part was, that many tourists and also Korean people stopped and tried to see who was in there. When someone told them it was an idol they'd ask and also ask us for his instagram. It was all in all very funny! When Doha came up a car tried to come through the street and while we probably didn't do well in keeping off the streets, I think everyone did well keeping each other safe and clearing the street for any coming cars! My personal highlight was when Doha came up from the store and recognized that I was there. I know he looked, smiled and waved at everyone - but it just felt nice to have him say hello individually as well. <3
So he stood there in the street and said he'd go to the next stop. It was kind of like a good-bye so I also just stood there, looking after him until he was gone around the next corner. To be honest, at his point I was exhausted already. So I took all the energy I had and went to the last photo spot. It was empty, but the decoration was very cute as well! I just love the detail in every store. There were so many pictures and a big balloon with the date. I quickly took the Doha-frame-picutres (at this point, I had experience - but also, this machine was easy to handle! And if I remember correctly it was this one where the creator fan had actually uploaded a tutorial. That helped a lot! <3)
This was the end for me. I really wanted to do more but we were at the start of the third week of our trip and there was no day we didn't walk A LOT A LOT so even though it was only 14K steps at the end of the day, I couldn't lift my foot for another step after that.
So that was my full Doha birthday report.
Thanks to all the amazing fans for making creating these spots. I think I keep repeating myself, but they were filled with love and I had so much fun. I'm really glad Doha has so many amazing supporters and that we get to be a part of their love for Doha through these stations.
One last picture of some of the goodies (the lenticular cards are my decoration at work so I don't have them here for the picture. I also dried some of the flowers to bring them home as a memory - still need to figure out how to use them and keep them safe!)
I'll try to be done soon with the concert report - it will include our videos and more details of the talk segments. I hope you're looking forward to that, too!
For anybody not following Doha on bubble (or not understanding what he says on his lives...), he mentioned on bubble that he's coming to Romania to be a judge for something and doing a workshop there. He already put "Romania" in his online schedule, so I don't feel too bad spoiling the information... I've been digging around and I think it will be this event. I know that probably not too many people in Europe are as crazy about Doha as I am, but just in case somebody wants to go see him like me - you can start making plans! I'd wait for the official announcement to book anything, but they'll hopefully give it soon! :) Today they announced the other idol-guest, so I hope it's really really soon. I'm so excited about this.
I'm a bit sad there isn't any performance by the guests announced, but the event announcement said at least "Meet&Greet" and that's enough reason for me to fly there. :D
If anybody else is going, let me know! I'd love to meet up, since I'll most likely be going alone.
I think it's tradition already that he does video calls on Valentines day? In any case, I managed to get my 2 minutes with him and here is how exceptionally handsome he looks today ๐
Uo also had calls and I wanted to get one, but I have a working weekend at a convention ahead of me so I couldn't get up at 3-4am for his calls. Sometimes time zones are stupid ๐ข I'll try and talk to him next time it's possible ๐
I made cupcakes "for" Doha yesterday (they are entirely to sweet, the strawberries are still really sour and it doesn't even look cute ๐ฅฒ ๐ฅฒ) and I got to ask him something important: I have this distinct memory of "Doha loves Strawberries" from when I first started liking him and that's why I usually use the strawberry emoji when I translate his talk. And then someone asked why the strawberry and I couldn't explain, so today I asked. So apparently the fandom name ๋ธ๋๋ฏธ (dallaemi, daughter) + ์ ๊ธฐ (aegi, baby) (?? I THINK that's what he said... I'll watch the video back after my con weekend and correct this if not ๐) mashed together is dalgi ๋ธ๊ธฐ (=strawberry in Korean) so that's why he loves strawberries and where I made that connection ๐ฅฐ
Bao has tried to chat a bit on his Instagram-Broadcast-Channel when his bubble was discontinued, but I feel like many fans get a bit shy to reply, because others can read it openly. So I'm extra happy he's now back on fromm - which is just another service like Pocketdols and Bubble, if you're not familiar with it.
I recommend signing up through the website instead of the app, because you get more messages (5 at once instead of 3) and characters to write (150 instead of 50) from the get-go. It's 5 USD per month (you can get a 12 month subscription and pay less, but I'm not sure what happens if Bao stops using it, if we get a refund so I'll do monthly payments ๐ ). If you pay through the app, you can switch between him and other other artists each month instead, so if that's important to you, you can also go through the app but just know that the other benefits won't be available then.
Fromm is mostly like bubble - he can chat into the group and reply to people by quoting them but only he gets your replys. I think there's a live streaming function as well, but I haven't seen it yet ๐
His welcome message includes "Mandu" and I wondered if he would call his fans like that, since he also named his broadcast channel "Today's Mandu". But he said he's still thinking about what to call his fans and he will collect ideas and maybe have a vote? In any case, put on your thinking caps and pitch your ideas to him, if you have anything good. ๐
Btw, he said he'll still use the broadcast channel to announce news. So I guess he'll take his spam to fromm and only post sometimes on Instagram.
I did it and finally caught an Instagram live of Uo! Sadly it isn't archived on Instagram or at least I didn't find it. Bless his trilingual talent, he really said everything three times - Korean, Japanese and English. And he mentioned he's working on a solo album! He asked fans to please send him suggestions on bubble or via DM on instagram, so if you want a certain style you can send him inspiration :) I went berserk and told him I want to see him in a rock'n'roll version of himself and linked him Bruisin' for some cruisin' and Cool Rider ๐
Someone asked if he might make it happen in April, but it seems with all the work that goes into the album we can expect a release towards May. He said he loves happy songs so he plans on maybe doing something like that. And that he will put his all into the album (like into anything, if you ask me! He always is overachieving and working hard. I'm 100% sure they didn't give him more screentime in Project7 because he was just too good to be true and that wouldn't have made the show fun to watch ๐)
He also mentioned that until his solo album there is no album planned with XD, but that they'll maybe work on something after he's done with his solo. This sounded very vague so I don't think there's many plans or anything fixed yet, so don't quote me! But they went to eat recently, if you missed it, so I'm sure they talked a bit about future plans! :)
On a little side note, because I'm too lazy to make an extra post, Doha said he is working on a new busking event! He'll apply for a spot in Spring - so maybe sometime in April he'll do busking again, if he's lucky enough to grab a spot. He keeps saying that last time it was waaaay too cold to do busking, so he doesn't want to make the fans go through that again. He also has been down with a bit of a cold since the calls on Wednesday, so he was a bit more quiet. And he started training through some...classes? He showed off his way of wrapping his hands and then some boxing technique. I know his body was sore from too many lessons in a short amount of time and that his trainer (?) praised him for building muscles :D
Since I'll be there for his birthday, I thought of a little project. I'd love if some fans would participate. I think it'd be nicer than just have me and my friend as a card... Please find all the details in the picture below and in this form: Participation form
I'd love if you'd share it with other fans, too!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
This is a personal one, but I told Doha that I'll be in Korea for his birthday during today's video calls! It'll be the first time in 3 years seeing him in person and I am glad I told him finally. I am bad with keeping secrets ๐ I also could confirm there will be something on the 27th AND 28th, we just don't know what yet. ๐ He said maybe an event, concert, some stage performance... I'm sure we'll know soon!
Also, please look at his reaction. I usually don't share much of our calls, but this... He's so sweet! He asked "Could it be... You're coming?" because I asked about the event. So I played around, saying "I don't know...maybe...? ๐"
So he said he was just thankful I even thought about coming for the event. And that's when I decided I'll just tell him with a little "Maybe I already booked my flight... And my hotel." And because we're both talking Japanese, which is not our first language, he had to confirm "Wait, you already booked?" and when I confirmed he just went "Yaaaay! ๐ I'm so grateful! ๐ฅน" ๐ฅฐ Let me share the reaction as a gif. He's so precious. ๐ฅน The ability to go from ๐ to ๐ฅน in 0.01 seconds... I'm sure he'd make a great male lead in a romcom kdrama ๐คญ
On a side note, I do realize that most of the content on here is Doha recently, despite trying to be an XD tumblr, but to be fair, he is my main bias (in the whole world my No 1) and I didn't catch much else (I missed Bao's IG live ๐ฅฒ Jaemin is very quiet and Uo does a bit of bubble and had video calls this weekend as well, but I am not as connected. Might have to step up my Uo game, sorry! ๐)
I'm just popping in because Doha did a bubble live yesterday where he talked about his birthday schedule! There's nothing fixed yet, but if anybody was planning to go there (ME! <3 <3 <3), it might be interesting:
He asked, if we want to do a birthday cafรฉ or a performance show - and I think he wondered, if everybody would be able to come if he only did one cafรฉ. K-fans gave a lot of input and I think there will be plans for the 27th - his actual birthday - and for Saturday, the 28th, since more people would have time.
I really hope he will do both, since I'll be there and can go (if I get tickets/a place). But we'll see!
Other things he talked about (please note: most of it was said in Korean and I don't know Korean that well yet. I take most of it from context, bits and pieces I do understand and the Japanese bits and comments from fans. I'm sorry if it's wrong, but it's what I think I understood so I'm sharing it. Always take it with a grain of salt!)
he will do more video calls in February and there probably won't be any other events from him that month. He considered doing a busking session, because fans mentioned it, but nothing is decided
He mentioned that his followers on Instagram boomed since he came to Brazil and he's so happy, because it's been a long way until 100K followers!
He sang a few of the old XEED songs. He recently keeps correcting people when they say XEED that there's no XEED and only XD, so be careful ๐
Doha went live today on instagram (<- I think you can only see it if you're his subscriber on instagram...) for a bit and followed it up with a bubble live, so I thought I'd just do a little summary of the stuff I thought was cute.
Doha celebrates 100K followers on Instagram and 100K views on his music video!
he ate acai berries (?) on the stream and kept saying how delicious is was
Brazilian fans are still going strong haha He did sing a bit of one song from Brazil, which was really nice :D
At first he wore glasses, then he took them off. <3
He'll said he'll probably (?) do video calls on the 18th, so expect a sale at the beginning of next week!
He said he had time for some social media posts so he's shooting away the posts and if we're stressed yet ๐
I think he read one or two comments that were left on the music video already since he started the giveaway for a video call! :)
someone asked for his favorite drama and he started to think, realized he didn't know anything recent and asked in turn what series was popular in Brazil ๐
He let us listen to an accapella version of Love to Love and I LOVE IT SO MUCH. His voice is just so beautiful. I might try to somehow get that snippet so I can listen to it over and over ๐
After the live ended, he came over to bubble to talk with the fans some more.
he sang a bit of the Japanese song Tsunami, then some cover (?) version of Christina Aguilera's Reflection, Love to Love and more!
Now don't quote me on this one, but I think he did read some alternative lyrics he had written for Love to Love. He just went through the song, sing-sang a part and then repeated the line he had alternative writings for. I have no idea what he said or what they were, but...it was adorable and I love that he shared this with his fans ๐ฅน ๐
Oh btw, he had changed clothes. For the Insta live he had a black shirt, but on bubble he wore a fluffy looking black-white cardigan? Looked really comfy.
I don't remember in which live, but somewhere he reminded fans that no food-items are allowed as presents. I think they were just joking about bringing food but he just had to make sure nobody misunderstands so no food goes to waste :)
Here's just some random personal thoughts of the day:
It was good seeing him happy and healthy, because he mentioned not feeling to well and sleeping a lot in bubble. Uo also wasn't 100% healthy (a stomach bug??) - and on top of that someone complained to Doha that the K-POP Link festival video message was in Japanese and not Korean so I felt bad for him. That's also why I hurried and uploaded a translation. I just hope we can work together as fans and not give Doha bad energy. So if you every find anything in Japanese from him or XD you'd like to see translated, let me know! I usually try to translate all the snippets I can find anyway. And maybe one day I'll be able to translate the Korean stuff fully and with confidence as well ๐
Doha has announced on his Instagram that he'll give away three calls to those who like and comment on his new music video for Love to Love on Youtube! I know chances are low, but let's comment (again) and give him some recognition for his hard work on the MV! <3
If you bought the online stream of the K-Pop Link Festival for both parts last Christmas, you would get a video message and a four-part-video-card. I decided I'll share the translation of the video here and on Twitter.
Uo: 3, 2, 1...
All: Hello, we're XD!
Uo: To everyone who came to Link K-POP Christmas in Tokyo...
All: Thank you very much!!!
Doha: Happy new year, everyone! Let's look after each other this year as well. We pray that all your wishes for this year definitely come true!
Jaemin: Please spend 2026 together with XD, too! Hihihi~ (Note: it's the year of the horse, so he's trying to make horse sounds, I guess ๐)
Uo: This was...
All: XD! Happy new year!
Jaemin: Happy new year!
If anybody wants the video to see Jaemin's adoarble neigh-ing, the 4-part-video-card or their cut of the performances, you can slide into my DMs!
Guys, big news especially for Bao stans: Bao will be performing at KTAM unleashed on 16th, 18th and 19th of April 2026!
Tickets are available for 60 GBP. There is a VIP package available for 25 GBP (each day). He will perform alongside Daychild and Studio L. The MC to be announced on 16th January will also perform.
I'm so excited - the only downside is, I'm not sure I can go there because that's just after I return from my Korea trip. So I really hope this works out.
Find more information about KTAM Unleashed through these links:

MC: What're you caring about the most?
Doha: During work, yes...
MC: You know, (he is) constantly doing something so... When I went over to look, he was working on the music video of his solo song. Edited it and so on.
Doha: That's right. For our song 'Falling Stars' or my cover song, I worked on both videos myself.
MC: A big applause, everyone!
I hope I caught all the words right, it's a bit hard to hear, so no 100% guarantee, but here's a small translation :)
I wanted to make a Bao update and realized that - after all this time - I still can't make 100% sense of his randomness. Like, I'm vibing with him, but... I wish I understood clearly so I don't go and spread wrong stuff. ๐ It sometimes feels as if I'm talking to a toddler and have to guess what he tries to tell me. But for anybody that doesn't know: after Bao had to leave Bubble due to his hiatus (so so many people get this wrong... he's not gone! He's on indefinite hiatus!) he opened an Instagram broadcast channel. We can answer him there and he's updating quite a lot with pictures. There's an auto translate function as well and if you don't want to answer openly, you can still react with emojis :) You can join the channel by going to his profile and find the Korean text there and klick on it! Or you can klick this link.
He's in Tokyo for a Fanmeet "Bao as Ever", so his last update to the channel was a post of the canned corn soup you can get in Japan with the comment "My first drink (?) in Japan". ๐๐๐๐
