@BTS_twt
What if I told you that Bangtan was studying Schrodinger's Wave equation (Quantum Mechanics) in the N.O. mv back in 2013? Because they are!!!
I never really looked at them, until yesterday, and either someone really wanted to freak us out with huge equations or I...🤯

#BeyondTheStory
SPOILER ALERT⚠️
Did anyone notice those tiny lines across the chapter pages? That's a visual representation of a sound wave.
BTS shares their journey as artists in a book, and the first thing you see on each chapter with the title is a sound wave, music...
What's with the dates? Why the pattern Tuesday and Month 6?
September 27, October 6
October 25, November 6
Will the next hair picture drop be around November 22 or 29 and then December 6? Are we having a countdown to January 6? For an album drop? 🤔
You want to read a comic book or webtoon? You want to understand what story lies behind the BU MVs before we celebrate HYYH 10th anniversary next year? You really want to see how intricate Bangtan's storytelling is?
Then, let me tell you the story of the SAVE ME webtoon. A 🧵
OMG! Agust D is coming back!!!😱
Remember that sequence of blurry pics posted lead us to Daechwita and D-2?
This time it's the same black and white scheme as his 2 previous mixtapes on his IG pictures posted a few days apart but with a new teal color! The same as on spotify!
The BTS Candlelight concert in Paris tonight was just magical! A huge Thank You to the String Quartet Yako for their beautiful interpretations of Bangtan songs!
Merci pour ce beau moment de musique et votre sens de l'humour! Et encore Bravo!💜
@BTS_twt
Just in case you didn't know, the Stade De France BTS Concert is being held in Saint-Denis, just outside Paris. The name Denis comes from the greco-roman name Dionysus... not a joke!
BTS IS SINGING DIONYSUS IN A DIONYSUS TOWN ! 😉

Every article of theirs on BTS is just amazing. This one is no exception. It's an interview of one of the Korean to French translators of the BTS book, why she chose to do this translation, how her point of view on BTS changed, how the translators team worked... very interesting!
Alors que sort ce dimanche 9 juillet « Beyond The Story : 10 ans de souvenirs de BTS » - les très attendues mémoires du groupe sud-coréen -, Paris Match s’est entretenu avec Yeong-hee Lim, l’une des traductrices du livre.
I did not know that BTS was going to lead me into reading about psychology again, but that's exactly what happened when I started reading this book, seen with Yoongi during In The Soop 2.
Here goes my 🧵on Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga's book, "The Courage To Be Disliked".
If you voice out an opinion on a BTS related topic, then be prepared to have an army of very talented and educated people, from every possible field you can imagine, to discuss that topic with you.
We are not only huge in numbers.
We have a multi-skilled collective big brain too!
French text from "I don't know" by j-hope, with only French idioms
"Avoir un coup de foudre
Tout est important
Mais,
Vouloir c'est pouvoir
Après la pluie le beau temps
Il ne faut rien laisser au hasard"
Explanations below...
Following the interview Namjoon did for Dazed Korea, I went in search of the second book he mentioned reading, "The agony of Eros" by Byung-Chul Han. He also put several quotes of the book in his IG stories.
Here is the 🧵 of my thoughts about this book.
Jean-Paul Sartre Existentialism theory:
"Being is. Being is in-itself. Being is what it is"
BTS album: BE
NJ telling us about The Good Place, based on Huis Clos, for weeks now!🤯
@BTS_twt
#BEisComing
#BTS_BE
Sartre describes two distinct categories of being: the in-itself (en-soi) and the for-itself (pour-soi). This would translate as non-conscious (a rock, a chair, air) and consciousness (human being).
That billb0ard in the background got me thinking all day. I finally managed to zoom in. That's the yellow CNS car, and it's written "It's my call".
That's not a random ad, it was put on purpose with a message! He's the one taking the decision: his call, his choice... 😭😭😭
Jimin's Like Crazy MV is a visual masterpiece. Apart from the aesthetics I expected from the director, there is a lot to unpack there, loads of tiny details connecting the song, music and lyrics, to symbols and our collective memory as ARMY.
Here is what I see there, a 🧵
A new Coldplay interview on French TV! The voice over says the BTS collab was daring and Colplay's speech is that they don't want to stick to labels (pop, rock, rap) and do music freely.
I can't thank them enough for what they are doing for BTS, helping change the mindsets here💜
In July 2017, ARMY found a blog that seemed somehow to be related to BTS. The blog mentioned a flower shop that was opening mid September. It was the Smeraldo blog.
Here is the full list of events. Follow the thread.😉
@BTS_twt
If this really is Schrodinger's wave function complete demonstration (and I really don't want to do that 😅) then we've been given BU information since 2013.
No need to go deep in physics definitions, we're talking about:
1. Being in multiple locations simultaneously
@BTS_twt
"We don’t believe we’re at the peak, and we know we could always go downhill too. Rather than striving and suffering to maintain a status, we choose to live gratefully, reminding ourselves that we have fans who support and cheer for us." - Yoongi
Yes, we'll always be there...💜
Wait! April 11 Year 22, the day when Jin goes back in time, is in a few days, and HYYH Pt.1 release date was April 29 2015, that happens to be a Friday this year...
This is my purple moment, when we join together as one and sing with our ARMY bombs or just our phones shining in the dark... a family moment for BTS and ARMY💜💜💜
#FindYourPurple
@BTS_twt
"You could sing on stage in Sao Paulo to twenty thousand people, you could soak up whole thunderstorms of applause... you could be followed by millions on the internet... but this was all meaningless without love."
Matt Haig - The Midnight Library
This book was meant for us.😭
For once, I am not going to quote anything from the piece. I just hope you will read it because this article felt like living the concert through the eyes of a true fan, of an ARMY, and I loved every single line in it.
🔗
Since we're celebrating LY Tear album, let's talk about Fake Love, and more specifically Fake Love Teaser 1. Why? Because no other MV teaser ties together that many references in so little time.
So buckle up or grab a cup of coffee, and let's dive into BTS storytelling!
A 🧵
Speaking of details in that BBMAs performance... Here is a tiny hourglass sitting in that background setting (there is always an hourglass!😅) and a specific time 05 05 on the clock, or should I say date? May 5 2015 is the date BTS got their first win with INU...💜
@BTS_twt
Bangtan is not on their own. There is a whole bunch of people around them who take care of all possible details. This means that they know they don't need to be aware of every single thing that is going on and they can focus on their art. It boils down to trust again.
Trust them.
Namjoon is namjooning, Jin is obviously going to Harvard, Hobi is celebrating birthdays while doing important business, Jimin is doing experiments with spicy food, Tae is doing his promo and Jungkook is focusing on being powerful.
Now, where is Min Yoongi?😭
HYYH Pt.1 I NEED U : In the first timeline, Hoseok is not there to prevent Tae from killing his dad.
Is the phone call Hoseok gets actually from Jin telling him to stop Tae?
BOTH scenes are in Euphoria MV, with GLITCHES in the first one. 😮

If you are currently wondering why we're using this
#BoycottSonyMusic
it's because Sony, the only distributor of 875 music in Europe, defines the album prices. They deliberately set it VERY high, knowing that we'll buy them anyway... and we're tired of negotiating with them.
Back in my days, BTS had 14M followers on this bird app, foreheads were unheard of, official subtitles did not exist, BU was a nightmare to understand, 144p periscope recipes were our friends, and we were hoping to get large 20k venue concerts in our countries for LY tour...
"In particular, when asked about the sustainability of Big Hit's success, he said, “Because the authenticity and identity of BTS cannot be duplicated, there cannot be a second BTS."
@BTS_twt
I hope you all understand how important ARMY translators are to our community. You can follow several of them and read different translations until you feel you understood the original message. No need to be rude, condescending or send them any threats. Do better, if you can...
After the "Standing Next to You" MV director Tanu Muino confirming that she intended to portray Romeo, here comes Baz Luhrmann himself pointing to the exact same scenes I mentioned in the thread and making the parallel between his movie and the MV...😭
WINGS - BST Japanese MV: Jin's visual wormhole finally gives "evidence" that this is all about time travel and the type of timeline involved: a dynamic timeline where a small modification of the past can have huge consequences on the future.

For decades, Les Halles was THE best spot to watch hip hop street dancers practice and battle in Paris. The neighborhood changed, but the city built a huge dance complex (La Place) for hip hop, and recognized the importance of that place for dancers.
And this is where Hobi went.
This is actually a very nice news segment about how Namjoon came to film LOST in Romania. It's very well done and captures not only how the song was filmed, but the behind story of the song itself. Also, kudos to the ROARMY who spoke so well!💜

Yesterday's tattoos was about Light
Fiat Lux : Let there be light
Oriri ex dolore : Arise from sorrow
Today it's about Darkness
Illecebra : allurement, temptation
Arcanus : mysterious, secret

Acknowledge both to BE who you really are.
Hubby coming to see me watch the Hermès show
Hubby: That's the men's line🤨
Me: I know
Hubby: (puzzled) you missed the women's show?
Me: No, this is the one I'm interested in!
Hubby: (more puzzled) You want to buy me something?
Me: No! It's Hobi!
Hubby: I should have known...

WINGS - BST Japanese MV: Future Jimin who has run away from Yoongi goes back in time. The Jimin from the past sees his future self, even if Yoongi covers his eyes. We have a DYNAMIC time paradox, the timeline changes and future Jimin disappears.

SBS Gayo Daejun 2020 Black Swan 🧵: While we've seen several performances of Black Swan during the last months, this one struck as very particular to me.
Follow the thread 😉
@BTS_twt
That new Unicef campaign though...
Bangtan said "Speak Yourself" in 2018, and the Speak Yourself tour was revealed for 2019. Bangtan says "Life Goes On" in 2020, and the song was released in BE.
Now Bangtan says " On My Mind"... 👀
5. Complete multiverses
We've seen these different universes in BU but also in the games that were created either based on BU, or related to real Bangtan.
@BTS_twt
You probably know by now that the painting in the game teaser is called "Le radeau de la Méduse" by Théodore Géricault. It's one of those paintings in the Louvre that, once you've seen it... you NEVER forget it.
But do you know the story that's behind the painting?🧐
@BTS_twt
We should give ourselves an award too ARMY. We worked really hard for all 7 of them this year... and we're not done yet for 2023. We also deserve our own round of applause! Well done ARMY!💜
Who thought that this was NOT Dionysus today in the background?
Dionysus can be represented as a bearded old man but something tells me it's not him... looks like Hades to me.
Why? There are several points in this background that seem strange.
Yep thread below...😉
@BTS_twt
I see people getting confused about why we're talking about ARMYPEDIA, and I just realized this event is 5 years old already. So, let me bring back a time when ARMY went on a worldwide hunt for QR codes to answer Bangtan related questions and complete a giant puzzle...
A 🧵
I have no idea whether this was really meaningful when N.O. came out... but now it totally makes sense!!!
I always thought that nothing was a coincidence with BTS, but this storytelling goes beyond everything I ever imagined.
@BTS_twt
Ok, so let me give you a Hobi HOTS Paris tour since some of you have questions about where these spots are. Maybe you want to go take pictures there or you want to dance there too!
I really REALLY love this project!
AND THEY MADE IT! 😮😮😮
"Flying free, lifted only by the sun and the air, without lithium, propane, helium or fossil fuels."
THIS IS HISTORY IN THE MAKING!!! AND I MEAN IT!!!

The Journey to the Self with the Map of the Soul...
Jung also used alchemy to talk about reaching perfection, and alchemist's perfection is Gold...
Do you know what else the alchemists wanted to find?
The fountain of life... and we have it in the MV!😮
@BTS_twt
#StayGoldMV
Selling a storage box as merch? At this point, maybe what we need is an 1KEA x Bangtan collab. I need shelves to put my Bangtan stuff, and I know I'm not the only one... Make that a full collection, and I'm OK to redecorate my home! 🤣🤣🤣
An artist expresses themselves as they want to. If you don't like what they do, it's ok, you can walk away... but creating the conditions for censorship will never ever help anything or anyone, and that includes you.
I've seen it on my tl, but I'm going to say it loud too. This is his project, his songs, his docuseries. Don't you dare follow anti/solo/manti people and drop their rotten takes on my tl. Some did him dirty once... and we all know what happened next. You're not happy, just leave.
Yet To Come MV is a story, a story built with BTS lyrics and our collective memories as BTS and ARMY. Whether we've been fans for a few months or ever since the beginning, there is a lot in this MV that speaks to every single one of us.
This 🧵 is just my own interpretation.
The latest French coverage of BTS as Special Envoys to UNGA, their influence on Korean economy, tangible influence as diplomats and ARMY action through social media. I've rarely seen a coverage that good and positive on BTS in France. (The news channel is both French and German.)
H0bi planned all of this before he went away. If you know him, then you know he put his heart and soul into crafting every tiny detail of what he will be sharing with us soon.
You can walk away if you want, but the plans I see unravelling now are not compatible with being ARMY.
I don't know why I didn't write about this book when I first bought and read it. Well, here I am, 5 years after... reading it again. Here goes the 🧵on The Art of Loving by Erich Fromm, recommended by Namjoon, one of the inspirations behind the Love Yourself era.
What is the use of having a map if you don't have a compass?
The compass is the instrument that allows us to find the right direction, find the right path to follow the map's indications correctly...
We have the Map of The Soul. Now we get the compass...🤯
@BTS_twt
How amazing for BTS to sit on top of the world with music that truly transcends all language barriers and an amazing message that resonates within every single one of us... It's just mindblowing! BTS I'm glad I found you! 💜
#BTSNo1GlobalArtist
@BTS_twt
A lot has been said on
#TheAstronaut
already. This is only my personal interpretation of what I see in this MV, the storytelling and some tiny references scattered here and there.
Let's follow Jin on his journey... a🧵
Also... Bangtan power...
This is not a show with a massive budget.
This is just a Tannie turning up to talk to his fans out of the blue.
And we were 7 million today because we genuinely love them!
Let that sink in...
