This is probably a long shot… but anyone here going to The Rose concert in Minneapolis? I need a buddy! But I’m so new to the Black Rose community I feel more comfortable asking my Army fam. 😅
Has anyone been surprised by Chapter 2 and what you thought you would most like?
Of course, I’ve loved everything. The solos have allowed us to see each member differently. They have all been great. I thought I knew them all so well that I felt I could predict each member’s solo and which ones would produce something closest to my vibe. Well I have been surprised. Mostly by SUGA!
SUGA! Wow, I really didn’t know how much I would love his Ch2 ! Everything he has done has been so mind blowingly good! Everything! His Suchwita show! His music! His concerts! I mean I knew he was talented, but I love him so much now. Now, I’m even more heartbroken he is going to the military!
I seriously can’t get enough of Joon’s unreleased and unfinished song. Listening to it esp after Tae’s Love Me Again just fits so well emotionally. “You are my dandelion, you’ll come back to me” 🫠
Significant pleasure of my journey with BTS – new music they introduced to me. I just bought tickets for The Rose concert. I’m lucky they perform 45 min drive from me. Interesting that I got special code for pre-sale from Spotify just because I was subscribed for The Rose.
Looking at the photo that Namjoon posted of himself standing in the door way and it dawned on me that it could be a bts of his GQ project (aka photoshoot). 🤔
It’s only been a few days but it feels like forever since we had a Jungkook live? I’ve gotten so used to his Weverse notifications popping up almost every day.
I know this could be due to Yoongi’s concerts/enlistment news + Taehyung’s album announcement/MV release, since the Tannies don’t tend to step on each other’s toes during promotions etc., but I feel like we need a chill hangout/laundry/karaoke session with bestie amid all the chaos.
[removed]
I hope Taehyung will appear on lee mujin service for his album’s promotions I’d love to see it
I’m still mourning the loss of ‘travel with me’ on new album
Chainsaw Man is getting weirder, and I don’t think in a good way…
We had to put our 10-year-old cat to sleep on Monday after a short battle with cancer 😔 losing a pet never gets easier 💔 I’ve been comforted by watching SUCHWITA episodes that I’d been saving… but could really use some bora hugs 🫂
Hello! Wondering if anyone has recommendations on the best bon voyage season? Looking to start with one first before moving on to the others. Thanks!
I was sitting here waiting for the new V video to release lol
While I was waiting, I was looking at the BB200 situation, and have two thoughts:
1. It’s really the time for us to break the curse and snatch that BB200 No. 1 for the first time w/ JITB HE. There is really nobody blocking unless an unexpected release gets announced next week.
2. Also, it amazes me how journalists talk about kpop versioning when Olivia (looked at Guts as it has the same release day as Layover) has 10 version on her store (5 vinyls, 3 box sets…) & this is not even talking store exclusives. It’s crazy how BTS gets dragged into versioning convos when they have low versions compared to kpop & mainstream US pop
Also, I just looked at the Travis Scott online store. OMG the merch prices. A utopia special edition vinyl for $125 USD. Box Sets for $150…good lord like it’s actually quite interesting to take a look at what other artists do in comparison. It seems travis had 20 – 25 versions smh
Twitter army reacting to the photocards being sent to the jamboree in lieu of the members is hilarious. It ranges from 😭😂🤭 to the jokingly serious “photocards are sought after too. Will the boyscouts want to trade?”
The government made this into an even bigger PR nightmare by bringing up BTS. Army can be a handful. The members and BH stayed silent. Even Hybe acknowledged nothing, sending photocards. Army has not been shy in regards to our feelings. I adore us. Lol.
I put these together for the upcoming replays of Yoongi’s concerts. I tried to cover a far (ish) amount of the globe with the time zones. Hope these are somewhat helpful. Edit – let me know if something is wrong. ☺️

Want to share [this Jungkook video](https://youtu.be/Z5nBMYvVCYo) to brighten up our days/nights and for anybody else who hasn’t seen it like me ☺️
I’m watching Joshua and Hoshi’s episodes of DdeunDdeun right now and I loved it when Yoongi and Jimin were on the show.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Jungkook and Taehyung also appeared on it?
Manifesting. 🙏
I’ve been watching some edits of the members’ solo music videos from Chapter 2 and Hobi’s bit was of More and there was this zoom of a guitar playing and I thought it was so neat.
This was the beginning of Chapter 2 and I’m glad they went against type to do the music they wanted to do.
I just saw on twitter than an Army met Halsey at a Taylor Swift concert, got her autograph on a Jimin PC, and gave her Yoongi bracelets. The crossover! 😂

Wanted to share this little ball of purr and furr with y’all. My second job is being a cat couch and professional chin scratcher 🤷♀️ and I’m paid in…well…furr 😶
i’ll just post it as whole spoiler but it was an official posting on pinterest by the brand
>!did you guys just see the new CK ad with JK?!?!?!? omfggg this one’s even better than the first campaign and the music choice fits JK so well! !<
A little over a week ago I shared [this story of Beyond the Story book being delivered at work](https://www.reddit.com/r/bangtan/comments/15cgkas/weekly_rbangtan_room_%EB%B0%A9%ED%83%84%EB%B0%A9_july_29_2023/jufp685/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3) and waiting for it to get to my desk.
Update: as I was skimming through our to be processed items today, I was actively looking for it, hoping for it to be there already and….

TANNIES ARE HERE!!! 🥳🎉
I immediately grabbed it for me to work on! 😄
Highlight of my birthday so far! 🥰
Completely forgot that I bought the Agust D tour merch cross body bag and it was delivered today. The quality is so nice! Considering how much I’ve been missing him this week this was a wonderful thing to come home to.
If you’ve been following the case of Yilin Wang, the translator whose work the British Museum used without permission nor credit, she and the museum has finally come to an agreement. The British Museum will be crediting and paying her. They will also set up a clearance process for translations.
[Here’s an article about it.](https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/style/article/yilin-wang-translator-british-museum-settlement-intl-hnk/index.html) Look who’s mentioned! Good job ARMY for the support you’ve given her!
Suchwita with JK already got 9.7M views. There is big chance it’ll be 10M views as Suga desired

Since D-Day The Final D1’s replay is coming up, I decided to make JK’s makguksu recipe (I finally got a hold of the perilla oil!). Hopefully I feel the same way when I wake up in 5 hours 😂
I’ll put this here so as not to distract from the video in its thread, but if you’re looking for another video besides Love Me Again to loop alongside Rainy Days, please consider Eric Nam’s new MV Don’t Leave Yet which released at the same time. There’s no reason why we can’t lift up both MVs especially since we know how much love and respect Eric has for BTS and V individually.
Borahae! 💜
This has been driving me crazy lately. The Run BTS dance practice version sounds different than the regular version. It sounds fuller with more stuff going on, especially in the chorus. The Yet to Come in Busan studio version sounds closer to it but still not the same. Has anyone heard of or found the audio of the dance practice version? This is my last resort until I give in and just settle for the YouTube mp3 rip of the video :/
So I’ve really liked both of Tae’s new songs, no surprise since he is my bias…but I was surprised to find out he isn’t listed in the writing credits!
I guess I’m low-key annoyed at myself for feeling like I have duped somehow? Like I was expecting a Tae autobiography but ended up with fiction from a ghostwriter.
To be clear, I don’t normally care if the boys don’t write their music, I think Seven and Dynamite are fun bops. Heck, Tae doesn’t have a writing credit on Singularity! Joon wrote it for him and I still love it. I also know that as a fan, we are NEVER entitled to know the details of their personal lives.
It’s just bizarre how personal and authentic to him both the songs feel despite him not being involved in the writing process. On one hand, I could see him discussing the themes and vibes he wanted to include on the album, and the writers/producers just really hitting it out of the park. On the other, Tae may have just really liked the songs and concepts presented to him and then proceeded to give an amazing performance as the yearning ex-boyfriend.
Maybe I’m just too invested in the Bangtan para-social relationship and this is my sign I need to take a step back and take some anti-delulu pills. But, then again, I don’t think I would be having this reaction if Tae said he wrote this song based on a fake scenario, as long he was involved with crafting the lyrics.
To be clear, I’m NOT criticizing V! I’m just trying to make sense of my own illogical disappointment.
I got a job interview lined up next week and I’m super nervous about it. I’m pretty sure I’ll do well and get the job, but I can’t shake off my nerves because I haven’t had to do job interviews in a pretty long time and I feel rusty. Thankfully Taehyung’s new songs are having a lovely calming effect on me.
CK deleted **the** video … has me wondering what’s actually coming.
(as noted by u/FlashyDirt in the CK video thread)
*Edit – Jung Kook’s name has been fixed on google search.*
My wallet is CRYING.
This week has been SO expensive for me! It feels like every single one of my groups is having a comeback or releasing SOMETHING that I “need” to buy.
But it’s all good, I have the money and I’m really having so much fun! 😀
After Tae’s live just finished, a notification popped up from Weverse asking for my app rating. Since I’ve got a couple of complaints about this annoying app, I thought, well yes, maybe I can get their attention through my review lol. Sorry Weverse, if you want 5 stars, you better start working to fix your problematic app!!!
I did a rope obstacle course today and some of them were like the ones BTS did in that one Run BTS episode. Let’s just say I have a new found appreciation for how fast Jimin and Jungkook were. I wasn’t scared but my god! It was so shaky that I was practically doing the splits.
My only gripe with Taehyung’s releases so far is that where I live we recently had a stretch of rainy and not-too-hot weather which would have been PERFECT for the vibe of his music so far, but now we’re back to too sunny and too hot!
EDIT: Update sky heard me complaining and we suddenly got hit with a thunderstorm that literally wasn’t on the radar when I checked this morning 😂.
Do you think we will get a “Hope Edition” merch drop? My wallet has been crying nonstop
People who can remember stuff…when do we usually get merch for album releases? Before? After? And why can’t i ever remember?
I’m sooooo curious about Layover merch and I want to see it right now.
