For BTS, priority for new album is fun, not rankings
Music
Aug 26, 2018
BTS may be at the peak of a record-breaking career, but the band says the focus of its new EP, “Love Yourself,” is having fun and being “festive” rather than topping the charts. “Literally, it’s about festivals. Setting records is important, of course, but for this album, we wanted to enjoy ourselves with fans. I think ‘Idol’ has a festive vibe as well,” said Suga during a press conference held in Seoul on Sunday to discuss the new album. (Big Hit Entertainment)The 16-track repackaged album ove

US can’t bring Russia ‘to its knees’by Leonid BershidskyThe US sanctions policy against Russia is evolving from trying to nudge the Kremlin in a desired direction to inflicting maximum pain. This is a slippery slope, and it’s time to consider the most extreme consequences for Russia, as well as the US and its allies. During a Senate Banking Committee hearing last week, a telling exchange took place between Sen. John Kennedy, R-Louisiana, and the Trump administration’s senior sanctions officials.

And all this is despite oil prices having doubled from their 2016 lows; if prices crash, expect the situation to worsen f

There are rows and rows of them, ranging from special concoctions for the eye area to products that reduce the appearance of fine lines. The face mask frenzy isn’t confined to the high-end market occupied by this division of luxury group LVMH.

With the latest round of trade talks between the US and China ending in a predictable stalemate, one thing has become clear: The Trump administration’s approach to these negotiations has made it all but impossible for Chinese President Xi Jinping to make a deal. Until that changes, there’s no end in sight for the tariff-for-tariff tussle between the two countries, and little chance of achieving Donald Trump’s stated goals. The White House seems to misunderstand a crucial fact about modern China.
