Finally found some free time to properly watch Namjoon’s DJ show at Yeouido Park with subtitles, and gosh, it was such a lovely watch. First of all, the ARMY stories that were picked out? All so hilarious, witty and relatable (so so relatable) but also so diverse and I cannot commend the staff enough for their picks. And Joon trying to give each letter a different voice and his commentary bits? That man is so hilarious I swear. Especially for the quiz bit when he kept saying “this isn’t love, you guys” xD I love how each member not currently enlisted made some sort of appearance too (they’re too sweet). Jiminie especially with him introducing the quiz and teasing ARMYs like he was right there with them :’)
And the phone calls? gahh i have so much to say because they’re so endearing. First up, I think Namjoon could probably be the only person in the world who was slightly disappointed that his caller turned out to be JEON JUNGKOOK and not somebody else xD His eyes lit up and he seemed so excited to have this male fan who’s been looking up to him since his Runch Randa days, and who can sing too, then JK fesses up and Joon’s shoulders fall just oh so slightly xD and he says “thanks for atleast letting me live that dream for a bit, Jungkook” hahahah. And Kookie was so surprised that his hyung didn’t recognise him even AFTER he sang! The convo with Tae was even more chaotic with Tae being slightly out of it (I think he literally just woke up?) and Joonie recognising him right away this time. So he confused Tae by addressing him immediately, plus Tae kept going “huh?? hyung… oh??” while still so out of it. You can literally see Joonie’s leader mode on and him slightly alarmed that Tae would say something he didn’t mean to and he kept trying to get him to hang up xD You can definitely see how Tae would have been a handful for Joon during their younger days hahah, so unfiltered and spontaneous.
And finally…the performances :’) no matter what the event is, tannies are such performers through and through. Like, for this radio show, just Joonie appearing and spending some time with them would have been enough for ARMYs, but he of course insisted on performing. And he said he had a cold too, but he performed so so well, and I teared up at “Wildflower” because I just cannot with that song and ARMYs singing along. Overall, this was such a special event and I’m so grateful to the tannies for always doing their best to make us happy, even if they all can’t make it. Saving this as a precious video to watch again and again for sure ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)
Any new army around? And I mean new… like Chapter 2 era new. Hi, it’s me. I remember writing a comment about my newness and someone replied similar to, “GURL… you’ve got a lot of content to carry you through – good luck”. I chuckled because I was at ep. 25 of Run BTS, still discovering their full discography and tracks, knew there were solo docs, and knew there was so so so much I haven’t seen yet. BTW, this was before FESTA 2023.
But guys…. GUYS…. For real tho. That was an understatement. There is SO MUCH CONTENT.
I am NOT complaining.
Each day, I feel like I must be at the end of the rabbit hole, only to discover the next day the hole is way deeper and much more complex. Here’s an example of my rabbit hole falling journey:
– Mainly western content (talk shows, award shows)- Bangtan Bombs- Run BTS- FESTA contents (THE FESTA 2022)- MAMA and various Asia award shows- Tiny Tan, BT21- Musters, Summer/Winter DVDs- Solo projects and docs (Jin, RM, Hobi, Yoongi, and now JK!)- Deep dive into lyrics- Weverse and old Vlives- Behind the story book!!!!……
But today took the cake. Today, I discovered BTS Universe (BU).What. In. The. World.The rabbit hole goes deeper.
I am not ready. I gently closed that BU tab. That’s… that’s not for now…
How deep is this rabbit hole? What else am I missing? (Do I even want to know…?)

I keep finding the video clips of BTS sitting in empty concert venues and watching their old clips (eg. red bullet vcrs, reaction to house of army clip etc.) in Youtube compilation videos. Does anyone know where the full videos are typically found? Are they in the BTS memories?
I am so curious about the timeframe for music releases the following months. It was confirmed that JK and Tae are both releasing their albums this year, right? I’m wondering how long we’ll have to wait between Seven and the album.
Namjoon has also been cooking up a new album for the past months, I’m interested to see whether he’ll drop it before or during his service.
Was there a formal announcement regarding Beyond The Story and which versions would have photo cards? I’m in the US and I can’t recall seeing anything like that. I’m trying to figure out how some people are getting photo cards and some aren’t. (I bought mine in store at Target and there were no photo cards).
How many hours till seven’s release?
It’s been ONE YEAR since the JITB listening party and this Hoseok. Time flies!!!

Does anyone remember when RM walks out of his studio to find V and Jimin pretending to be statues, standing stock still?
They may have been irritating him with noise and that’s why he came out. Basically they’re playing around.
I can’t remember where I’ve seen this — it probably was a Vlive? It was in the timeframe when they still used Vlive and probably somewhere in the 2017-2018 range. Possibly 2019. 🤔
Since it’s been of some discussion on the sub, it’s being predicted the US Writers strike will continue to drag on & the studio/streaming services have no intention on compromising.
It almost seems like a dry em out strategy until those on strike can no longer afford to strike. I don’t know all the context, but it seems ridiculous these studios won’t pay these writers. These shows would be nothing without them.
The SAG – Actors Guild is now going on strike too. I need to read up on all the players, but the actors & writers guild hasn’t been on strike simultaneously in decades it seems.
Well, The Book is Done (sighing in pleasure and accomplishment while closing the cover). I am so pleased to be saying that. I loved every bit of the Beyond the Story. I planned on reading it slowly, but I had a hard time stopping once it was in my hands. Four chapters yesterday, three today. So looking forward to reading it again with all of you! Maybe then I can go slowly, lol. My desire to keep reading amuses me, as I already know the story. But having the story with their words just hits different. They love us so much, ARMYs! 💜
Louder than Bombs just came on shuffle during my run, and it’s been awhile since I’ve listened and man. This song is just so good, especially with headphones. This was one of my top Spotify streams in I think 2021, and I’m really in my feels now. So good. So, so good.
I haven’t been here for very long, just hit about half a year on Reddit recently…I’m hoping people on this sub will be chill about one aspect of Seven’s release, since I’m seeing a lot of people being very not chill on other sites: about Latto being a feature. Unfortunately I’m seeing a lot of misogynoir and concern trolling so I’m putting this energy out into the universe, that this sub can be an open-minded and inclusive place that shuts down anti-Blackness wherever it pops up….
I miss Hobi and his hype posts and emojis. 🥺
When do we get the GMA performance?
Does anyone else follow r/Bestofredditorupdates ? Because [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/14z38cz/my_qaunt_was_saved_by_bts_i_shit_you_not/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1) was posted about 10h ago… a person’s terrible, awful alt-right aunt changed her ways through none other than Bangtan…????
**** TW for abuse / spoilers are on available at the top of the post! ***
BTS and the reach they have is truly astounding….
OMG I’m trying SO hard to avoid anything about Jung Kook’s GMA performance but his WeLive has me questioning so much. And GMA has so many commercials – it’s ridiculous. Like get to it already.
[Army are so fast and clever](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CumrNZkAF70/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==). 😅
TO THE BH INTERN:
I am kindly requesting a new Ch. 2 Pied Piper performance with of course some tweaks to lyrics here & there. I don’t know how to logistically make it happen but he members & army is ready.
Thank you kindly!
My Indigo Vinyl came today and it’s so pretty! 🥳
I’m listening to it right now with my new speaker and the sound is so perfectly crisp. I haven’t listened to the full album in a while, I almost forgot how god damn good it is. Can’t wait for the other albums to be released on vinyl as well (I know Face and D-Day info said they will come eventually 🥺)
I totally forgot we’re getting a performance video tomorrow. ![img](emote|t5_2zqih|21323)
I *finally* got my book and I’m already halfway through it lol!
No spoilers, but I really like how they combined the different elements.
Can’t wait to talk about it with everyone!

After 5 days of it being delivered, I finally had the chance to open my package! 🥰

Does anyone else remember that song by that white boy that went viral a couple of years back (2017?) just for having so many Jimin edits made to it? I can’t remember the name for the life of me😭
