Look at my face y’all. This is the face of pure bliss. This was the face of someone about to witness her first BTS concert. If nothing else, I will always be thankful for @BTS_twt for making me unequivocally happy and giving me the best day of my life. #MetlifeDay1 #LYSYtour

For anyone attending Day 3 and Day 4 for the #PTD_ON_STAGE_LA concerts, please be mindful of Tiny Army. 💜 They are obviously much smaller and tend to get pushed around a lot when people are getting in line to enter the stadium. He fell twice from people pushing/bumping into him.

I forgot to shower. 세수할 시간도 아까워. (Even washing my face feels like a waste of time.). These lines were so real for anyone who’s struggled with their mental health. Also rhyming in English and Korean to express this sentiment is just proof of his impeccable lyricism.

So I had actually gotten tickets for my tiny Army to see BTS at MetLife for MOTS for his 5th birthday. It would have been his first concert but obvi the tour got cancelled. Guess who’s coming with me to LA next week to see BTS and doesn’t know! How should I surprise him/tell him?
TL cleanse: To ARMYs who have been to BTS concerts. Do you all have any cute stories to share?.

An experience two years in the making. A dream finally realized. My tiny Army is finally seeing @BTS_twt in concert. Let’s gooooo!. *He was super shy in the video with all the attention on him but he was so surprised and excited! . Thanks @AmericanAir 💜. #PTD_ON_STAGE_LA

I see a lot of Army coming into parenthood. Love that for yall but go ahead and start a tiny Army fund because they will want to go to BTS concerts in the future and it adds up quick! Ask me how I know! 😅 He hasn’t forgiven me for seeing Agust D without him. Haha

When you think about how they were trainees during BTS’s early debut years and you remember the terrible condition the Bangtan boys practiced through in their practice room, it puts it into perspective that TXT was dealing with the exact same thing. 🥺.
"we slept in the practice room that had leaking water, on cold winter days with nothing to rely on but one fan heater for all of us but those kids are now all grown and are holding a concert in front of so many people. you've been through a lot, guys.".

@YOONEROTICA She’s too talented to try to gain her popularity from being obnoxiously “funny”. It’s too extra. I get she’s having fun but for me it’s just getting old. I could take it step further and say her being loud and all that is her emulating a stereotype too 🤫.

I’m always going to feel like it’s worth mentioning that Tae is so real for recognizing and respecting black artistry enough to bring it into a Korean space without using it for an aesthetic. Black backup singers and instrumentalists on Tiny Desk Korea feels so good to see. 💜.

I know the disorganization of lines is SoFi’s fault completely but we as Army should be looking out for each other and not pushing to get into the stadium. Especially when we know that there are young and old Army alike just trying have a good time. Be kind and be safe lovelies.

I mean the gag is, all bang pd had to do was google 🛴’s name and he would’ve found a ton of reasons not to work with him or trust him. You paid all that money for connections that the guys could’ve made themselves organically if they felt it was necessary. Stupid all around.
So you're telling me hybe invested 1 trillion into Hybe America in the hopes of getting connections through Scooter, and even willingly paid rent for a beach house only for most of the artists to leave Scooter's management and hybe is now drowning in debt? Wow.

@eccentaecity He’s ok. He just scraped his knee and shed a few tears from the shock of falling and being pushed over. He asked if it was ok to tell people pushing wasn’t nice. 🥺 I said of course bub, use your big boy voice and tell them to stop pushing into you.

I’ve always found it really interesting how you can see the difference in dance style between the American and Korean backup dancers, but specifically the black dancers. We saw this with Yoongi’s backup dancers for the D-Day tour as well. They just have a certain swag to them. 😌.
i find it absolutely adorable how jungkook was so determined to learn from the dancers

Also let me address something other than him being racist. Why mention country music’s ties to traditional yt American society and values but not mention that country music in the US is rooted in black American culture with ties to blues music and West African music traditions?

My experience at LYSY The Final Concerts in Seoul is LIGHT YEARS AHEAD of what I experienced during VIP Soundcheck at Newark for Agust D. I only paid $98 for my floor seat in Seoul. The commemorative ticket, the venue perks, the blanket provided b/c it was cold, the nice staff.

Him singing that album in Dia Beacon was so underrated. Singing art while walking through art. Like who is doing it like Kim Namjoon.
You ever just think about Namjoon singing “No.2” in one of Richard Serra’s Torqued Ellipses, how the work was inspired by a desire to create new curved spaces in an otherwise angled world, and how Joon sings “no looking back” like he’s forging a new future.

My Hobi biased Army had a great bday week. He turned 10! He’s been eating up the HOTS doc & album. His favorite song is On The Street but I figured it would be because he loved the original. He loved his Hope World cake. 💜. #HOPE_ON_THE_STREET #홉온스 #jhope #제이홉 #SOPE #HOTS

I fear she ate with this one. We all saw the different direction HYBE took when they were created and have been really disappointed with a lot of the decisions that they’ve made that seemingly don’t have the artists best interests at heart and use fans as cash cows.
HANNI just clocked HYBE omg 😭 . “A company that no longer has any sincerity in the art of music, a company that only has thoughts about making money, and don’t have any conscience about the negative effect they create through their non-authentic means”

When the Korean military sees that increase in sales of their merch because yall wanted to match shirts with a member, it’s just going to reinforce why they won’t do away with military conscription especially for idols because it makes them money and yall are walking propaganda.

Here’s from when I surprised him with MOTS tickets for his fifth birthday. 🎉. *I got him a new I love Jhope shirt since he outgrew this one so I’ll include it when surprising him. Now he’s 7, going to LA for the first time and his first concert. 🥺💜.
So remember how I told yall I was gonna surprise Brant with a trip to NYC & his first BTS concert all in the same week? Thank goodness it’s not cancelled, just postponed. Well, he was so nonchalant about it despite him asking for both of those things for months. 🤣 #TinyArmy #BTS

Even if it was a mistranslation all that pure emotion from each member didnt give off the energy of just a break from group activities. They know focusing on themselves & solo projects doesn’t allow for as much time for group activities & projects. They know fans will miss that.

If you go to the airport when a BTS member is flying in or out, you are not an Army and no you cannot change my mind. Nothing about this is cute. Them traveling is a part of their unofficial schedule and even if you know where they’re going, you should act like you don’t. 😒.

It’s the way that BTS always leave a room better than when they entered it, and this applies to so many things literally and figuratively. Their impact is literally immeasurable at this point. Their friendships, their mere presence makes people want to do and be better in life.
Chef Paik Jong-won signed an initial agreement w the 🇰🇷 defense ministry to “come up w measures to improve cafeteria meals, develop recipes & kitchen utensils suitable for the 🪖.”. Trial will start as early as next month. Chef Paik did Run BTS & taught @BTS_twt cooking. #BTS

He said instead of running up asking for pics and his autograph, act like a decent human being and just say hi and carry on with your day. He wants to have more interactions with us face to face but he’s telling y’all straight up, y’all don’t know how to treat him like a person.

Yall can disagree and unfollow, but putting Jin’s first live behind a paywall, ie the Army membership, has nothing to do with trying to protect him because they could just disable comments if they wanted to or just have proper chat management like they should’ve always had.

Charging for accessibility is definitely a slippery slope because cc is just not for translations. With that being said, let’s support our translators more, especially in this time. They’ve always done the work to bridge the gap between the boys and their international audience.

“I knew you were too drunk to know what was happening so I just finished anyway and I knew you would get pregnant.”.After beating me for not being able to keep down food, “I’m not letting u leave this house until ur too far along for an abortion so I’ll always have access to u.”.
Then a whole society whines cause women don't want to get married and give birth. They don't question why, they just humiliate women. Also in every post I have seen on this, almost all women have been subjected to physical violence. Pregnancy and domestic violence go hand in hand

Releasing this statement through vcha’s account while also calling her a liar is definitely a choice. Didn’t even mention that the girls safety and well being is their first and top priority. This statement doesn’t seem well thought out at all, just a knee jerk reaction.
