Uo update for Spring 2026
(and a bit of Doha update at the end)
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 😂
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 😇)
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

Maybe Ultima Online shouldn’t have been by first MMO. No player housing system will ever be good enough for me again.

K-Pop LINK Festival Video Message translation
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 😂)
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!

I’ve gotten so excited lately and really tried to push myself out of my comfort zone a bit and really embarass myself and humiliate myself and post more!
I want everyone to laugh at me sooo bad haha 💜

K-POP Link Festival - Focus Cams [20250927]
The K-Pop Link Festival hosted XD again and we have some fancams uploaded by them! (Don’t forget to re-watch the two performances until October 7th if you bought the streaming tickets! I wanted to record them, but sadly it’s just on the phone and I’m not sure if I can somehow make it happen. I awkwardly recorded my phone with my work phone for the second performance but I don’t think that’s the solution. Might still do it just for the talk parts, so I can upload and translate them…
Jaemin Focus - Priceless (1st round)
Jaemin Focus - Falling Stars (2nd round)
Doha Focus - Wake Up (2nd round)
Doha Focus - Not today cover (2nd round)
Bao Focus - Falling Stars (2nd round)
Bao Focus - Priceless (1st round)
UO Focus - Wake Up (1st round)
No commentary this time, since I didn’t watch the cams yet. 🥲

Happy XD-Chuseok!
XD dropped beautiful pictures in hanbok today, so I want to share them here as well. Fun fact: Doha shared some of the pictures on bubble first and then said he’d love to post them on Instagram now, but since it’s a holiday, the others were too busy to confirm yet if he can upload them. Roughly ten minutes later he published them, since he “found a way to contact them” (?). What if he wrote them messages, they didn’t react so when he said he ‘found a way to contact them’ it meant he CALLED them like it’s 1995 and that’s how he got the ok from everyone so fast. 😂

Supposedly Charlie Kirk was an avid UofO sports fan so my sibling who goes there might’ve seen a game within a hundred meters from him 🤮
Answer
Hmmmm. Depends on whether you mean by workplace accident or just flat-out resigning. If it’s the latter, five to ten. Former? Thirty-three. Always thirty-three.
