A Quick Announcement

Golden Hour Part 3

Hi all,

I wanted to take a minute to make a quick announcement about my Golden Hour Part 3 blog and diaries posts so that you will understand my thought process and why they will be delayed. I have learned a valuable lesson from KQ over the years to wait a full month before starting to work on a blog post for any comeback because they will drop things related to that comeback for the entire month after the initial release. Here are just two examples of times KQ has done this to me.

It has been a tough lesson to learn, but I have learned it. Therefore, although I may start gathering bits of data in that month of the release, I don't really do anything in earnest until a full month has passed.

Additionally, I am an Atiny before a Loretiny so I spend the first two weeks of any comeback prioritizing streaming. So I don't really even start looking deeply at all of the minute details of a music video until streaming is finished, because I don't know what watching a music video over and over again in one setting will do to Youtube's "streaming bot catcher" system. Another issue this time is that my poca album has STILL not shipped and I want to double check the QR diaries in person (or at least have a trusted friend tell me they are real, but none of them have received their pocas either) before typing them up or using them as data points.

Based on all of these factors, my original plan for Golden Hour Part 3 was to wait until around July 13th, as long as I have had eyes on the digital diaries by then, to start researching and then to post a blog post about a week or two later depending on how long it takes me to do all of my research and write everything.

Well, it seems like Ateez has decided to start my timeline over again with their announcement of Golden Hour Part 3: In Your Fantasy. Since this is still titled as Golden Hour Part 3, I need to view it as part of a whole data set. I may release two posts like I did with The World Fin:Will just because I am wordy or they may give us a bunch of music videos like they did with Fin:Will, but I still need the data to be the same to inform both posts. So with the idea that I need to wait another full month, we are looking at mid to late August, which is also when they are touring in my area and my actual job gets pretty busy, so we will see how quickly I get everything done.

I just wanted to give y'all a little state of the state since this is kind of unprecedented and I don't know how many of you have read my frustration with getting caught off guard with new information after I have posted, so may not know that I started waiting a month before working on things.

Sorry to those of you who want posts quicker, but quicker posts are less well informed posts and I like to gather as much information as I can to really analyze what Ateez is trying to tell us. Thanks for your patience because I am struggling with that right now as well. PLEASE SEND ME MY POCAS!!
