I just received mine and am testing it, but the bottom part that is supposed to be unscrewed (am I right?) to charge and attach the extensions, is locked in very tight
Edit: I guess my question is, how much force is required to unscrew the bottom gold bit?
Or am I screwed (pun intended) because it doesn't seem to budge?

It was really tight when I tried to open it for the first time too, and even Gahyeon struggled with it when trying to put it back on.
It was odd though, I tried with plenty of force to open it and didn’t feel it budge at all and then put it down to try and look it up (which is when I saw the above video), and then when I tried again gently after watching that it opened without any issue at all and was easy...I’m guessing I loosened it before with my attempts but it didn’t feel like I had.
I had the exact same issue, seems like they screwed it on real thight. I use some kind of pliers with extra padding not to damage it but still have some grip. Came right off, but that was after I rubbed my hand raw trying to just unscrew it by hand. I thought it was just me, but apparently not. Hope you get it off, and congrats on getting your LS.
Try wearing a rubber or latex glove to unscrew it. I had the same issue with mine.

Hmm I guess I didn't phrase my question correctly? That OP took apart the globe portion; I'm just tryna unscrew the bottom/golden part so I can access the USB slot, but it isn't even turning :S
Try a bit harder. It has to clear a little notch that stops it from unscrewing inadvertently.
Do I need to pull or push it while unscrewing to clear the notch?
A little bit of push should be more than enough. No more than on child proof medicine bottles.
