Every army has a place here. We each have a purpose & we complement each other
Whoever we are: quiet, chatty, loud, funny, helper, quoter, retweeter, liker, streamer, voter, baby, OG, thirster, etc..
Each & everyone of us is needed.
We all matter.
Don't forget that 💜
Army twitter. The place where you can be moot with anyone without knowing whether they are young, old, male, female, non binary, worker, student, retired, rich, poor or Namjoon.

The MV is a mirage, all what happened at the beach in the boat is virtual, computer generated by him. He insert himself in this fantasy (the lighted dots, the model mountain) creating a virtual happy place, escaping from reality ++
If you wanna see Jin as a torch bearer, I will be sharing my screen from the french TV via the Kosmi app (itt's free & you can log in without creating an account )
I'll start the stream at 8.10pm french time / 3.10 am kst

I think this is the most beautiful & powerful OT7 statement of all. It already was during the concert, but this new picture is 🥹 because:
This is the ending of the OT7 reel with the OT7 LGO track, after Yoongi's LGO version with Armys singing the fanchant.
Also ++
He didn't leave 1 video for Hybe to cut into 18 pieces.
He did several ones at different moments, with the release date in mind. He planned the whole 18 months thinking carefully of when they would drop. & he made sure he was different, cute, adorable & conforting in each one😍
Another proof of how special ARMY is. Gameboy's back after being awol for months. He did a reaction video yesterday for another artist but it's on Nuts reaction video today that he adresses his disappearance. Why ? Cause ARMY kept worrying about him ALL THIS TIME. Listen :
I'm the mother of a teenager who struggles with mental health & who's last suıcıde attempt is just 1 week old.
I no longer think BTS found me to help me. I think they found me so they could give me more strength to try & help my daughter.
BTS is the OST of her fight to survive.
So saturday, I took my non army best friend to see Yet to come. Here's the recap.
Brace yourself 🤣
Let's start with the fact that she LOVES My Universe, but always thought it was just Coldplay & did not realize there were verses in korean (and she loves kdramas..)
+
Thread analysis
#Comebacktome
is not about someone, but about something. & I think it's happiness .
The MV tells the the story of someone who goes thru therapy.
This woman is his therapist & she works with him on all his issues by diving into his family matters & his youth
++
Someone once reminded us that this was the same as the Hyyh pt1 & 2 album colors.
Each are monochrome.
Could the left one be a "cloud of memories"?
And the right one Spring, as in renewal of things?
Cound these be for HYYH 2025?
I'm a strong independant 50yo. Half my job is to counsel students. I also counsel friends irl & people everyday on this app
But it's a 30yo South Korean Rapper & his album that made me want to face my own traumas. Finally.
The road is not gonna be easy but my DDay is coming too
There's definitely something new about Jin & it might just be cause he's almost 32. A bit more mature physically & maybe a different state of mind cause enlistment is over. More freedom thus more confidence ?
He's not as beautiful as before. He's differently & more beautiful😍
I wish he did not have to apologize or ask for our understanding because he dances with women.
Same for JK: there's a woman in his MV, so what?
It's acting.
& if it was not, so what?
Having a partner, being in love, having s€x, that's pretty great for everyone, BTS included.
Jk's last gift to us before he enlisted was the Hate You MV (the only B side he shot an MV for, very meaningful)
I feel that this specific moment below which is about us explains his silence : "Hating" us may be easier (metaphor).
Let me explain in details what I mean
++
Imagine a place called 'Boracity' where army could live freely. Streets named after songs, districts named after albums
Our jobs would be Streamers, Buyers, Voters, DJs, Chaos maker, Editors, actors... We would have 1 President and 6 ministers, but all of us would be equals ++
#RM
could have sung any other song that day but on his very last opportunity to sing live for Amy he chose an unreleased untitled unfinished song as a gift to army.
"One of my most precious song"
Let's make it big.
#Comebacktome
out May 10th
++
Also explaining why the polaroid is different versions of himself and not the virtual people we see.
He created a place of love from some kind of video lab..
Makes me think he's escaping the loneliness of Rainy Days. It's like an extension of the other MV where he was trying to occupy himself with different activities.... and the latest is creating this virtual happy place.
We newest ARMY often think we missed out on a lot of iconic & legendary bangtan things, those "you had to be there" moments.
Well, the truth is, no matter the time you join the fandom, there will ALWAYS be epic legendary bangtan stuff to witness 💜
Like today💜
#APOBANGPO
In celebration of BTS's contract renewal, Big Hit made a huge donation to UNICEF. Many ARMY have expressed a desire to try and match them! If you are one of the many ARMY wishing to join the celebration by donating as well, we have LINKS! 😉

One year ago today, I felt as if my life was ending. I felt old, alone, sad. I was having a very hard time, I felt the most loneliest I ever felt in my life. After years of hardship & struggles, I was slipping into a deep depression thinking that my best years were behind me.
++
"Antisocial and unhealthy values" which means it's gonna be a song about human rights, freedom of self, breaking the mold & not living to other's standards.
In short, a new anthem.
#RightPlaceWrongPerson
:
“Right People, Wrong Place” ineligible for broadcast because it ‘promotes antisocial and unhealthy values’*

Today at work, A 64 yo teacher glanced at my phone and asked me who was this very handsome man.
I said he's Kim TaeHyung, a singer from the band BTS.
She smiled and replied that fangirling is good for the soul.💜
#LOST
is so off the wall & hilarious!
But Why is Namjoon's brain a work place looking like a maze with very enclosed spaces with no windows?
He's trapped inside his own mind, with his own scary & crazy thoughts.
++
So our dance teacher just told us that we can wear anything we want for our showcase in 4 week, as long as it's blue.
🤔
I just received this today....👀
2nd session with the therapist: she said I was very mature & rational.
Then I told her I said no to toxic friendship & started loving myself after some WorldWideHandsome 30 yo from Korea sang me to do it.
I think next session will be interesting 😁
My week end with the muggles, a gif thread.
---
It all started with a 4 hour drive with Dad & the french radio. He does not allow me to drive because I would listen to BTS.
1 hour into the trip & the radio goes "you, you are my universe!" 😈
Me: "yeah BTS!"
Dad:🙄
++
The MV is not a movie this time. It's a choreo. And it so full of meaning, it's genius.
I see the dancers as the oppressors, the antis, the attackers, the solos. Also, as his own thoughts, fears, battles. See how right from the beg, he's trapped between them?
++
Friend: you're gonna wake up at 6am on a Sunday just for a song?🤦♀️
No, I'll wake up at 6am on a sunday to listen to a song with my friends from all over the world for the man who tattoed our name on his knuckles & be sure to bring him to n°1 once again, like he & BTS deserve 👑
++ This is from the Take Two performance, the last OT7 one before enlistment, the gift to army, in which they ask us if we will stay, in which Yoongi sings "I'm so grateful to be with you, Let's continue to be happy in the future"
The BTS 7 & Army forever
Oh, my hearteu🥹🥹
Today, I'm very very close to being happy.
Today I am an unashamed proud childish dopeold chaotic unserious army. Young at heart forever.
I no longer feel as if my life has ended.
Today, I turn 50 yo.
And my best is yet to come.
+ Look at where Yoongi is placed & the lightning.
As if he was saying "Alone, I'm just a Shadow. But together, we're shining.
I am whole with them. My happiness is with them"
Cliché I know, but just look at this pic lol!
And also
++
She even sings Happy Birthday to Jimin 🤣
The concert was great she says!
I'm gonna make her a pl with all the concert setlist & send her the link to Hobipalooza.
She'll never be army & I doubt she will dig more but at least now she gets it & that's all I needed 💜
There's nothing better in my life at the moment than seeing my struggling teenager singing outloud to "You can't stop me loving myself! / I love myself, brrr!" with the biggest smile on her face after I explain the 2 songs to her.
Thank you
@BTS_twt
as always. 💜
Openingments, she laughs at Jin's kiss (i swoon)
OO:OO, Butterfly, I glimpsed at her, she's totally into it.
She suddenly says "this one's good looking too" about V.
I say nothing but I'm :
+
They're blooming, they're maturing, both in terms of artistry & inner-self. We're front row witnesses.
I'm now seeing enlistment in a very different way. It's a great opportunity for them. Chapter 2 may not have happened otherwise💜
So yeah, let's turn it into sth positive.
Then comes Ugh & Cypher pt 3!
She says "wow they've got such a great flow"
And then she says " I understand why you love them. They're like Korean Eminems"
Me:
+
I'm going back to work partime tomorrow, after 3m of medical leave for burn out.
Evil boss won't be my boss anymore, I'm gettting the promotion I missed last June, my dept is getting upgraded & I officially become the manager.
Keep fighting guys, the best IS yet to come💜
[Not BTS related]
Deepest sympathies and condoleances to the family, friends and fans of Moonbin.
This is a tragic news and a very sensitive subject.
Please be respectful, this is more important than anything else today.
The way Jimin looks at Namjoon several time.
Sth like " I know you suffered Bro. I'm proud of you & I love you"
There's so much that can be said with only one look💜
And then 🤦♀️ well, brace yourself for that..
It's Dynamite's turn...
I say "maybe you've heard this one before"
First notes & she goes "whattt?? It's BTS? I LOOVVEE this song, it's in my Pl, I listen to it all the time"
& she starts dancing & singing
Me:
+
I wish people at work knew who BTS was, so they could read my t-shirts.
If you see Hobi on my chest, you know I'm gonna be all smiles & giggles.
But if I'm wearing Agust D, you better stay the f**** out of my office 🤷♀️
First notes and she says "whattt??? It's them tooo????? I though it was Bruno Mars! I also have it in my PL!!"
And there she goes singing again excitedly, leaving me :
+
The way Jimin stretches his back and JK bends downs a bit 😍
And the difference of torso between the dancer and the boxer 😍
And the tattoos.
And the naked backs.
And the muscles.
And the saliva... Ah no, that's mine.
*wipes the screen before licking again.
During the My city to Idol segment, she goes "my favorite is really JK!! But Suga, WOW, he really is something" 💜
She's clapping, squealing, headbanging.
She regrets that the songs are not subtitled cause she wanna know what they are singing about.
+
Mic drop..
I tell her their names & who are my bias
Run BTS..
Note that it's only been 2 songs when she suddenly goes "this one's my favorite" pointing at JK.
I go :
+
What happen to SKZ is not a fandom problem, it's a human one. Like BTS are not responsible for the b0yc0tters, SKZ are not responsible for their fans attacking BTS.
Those journalists are guilty of racism & yes as human & as army standing for BTS's values, we need to speak out 2.
He tells us "it's not the truth, it's not the cure but hating you's the only thing that doesn't hurt"
As he say these last words, he locks eyes with us for the first time in the MV, making us feel his pain & his truth
If silence hurts you less Jk, then be silent 💜 ARMY'll wait
Not my mom turning into Jin at the Korean festival we went to this afternoon by asking E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E. she talked to:
"Do you know BTS? My daughter is a fan"
🙈🙈🙈
I felt like a 10 yo seriously 😵💫😳😭😭
@BaseLineWoo
🤷♀️ All of the chapter 2 albums together are 4 hours max, easy to fit in a day and even throw in several focused playlist. Or queue them up at night..
Or even alternate every day, half of them. There's so many ways :-(
During Boys with Luv she tells me that RM is very charismatic & that Jin is fu**ng beautiful.
She's clapping along, she's got a big smile on her face, she's totally into it..
And then comes Butter.. I'm about to be jungkoonfused..
+
Dad drops me at ex-hubby's house and I pick up teenager & my car.
As soon as I start driving, teenager plays " Butter" saying "ah mom you must miss them after your week end away. Let's sing together!"
😍😍😍
If Jin is the first torch bearer at 8.30pm, then it's for the last part of the second to last section, the one that ENDS at Musee du Louvres at 8.45pm, not the one that starts there. It's the 'Louvres to Pyramide du Louvres' path. So start watching at 8.15.
JIN AT PARIS OLYMPICS
After listening to Indigo & reading articles, I see a whole new meaning to RM's pics.
Pressure of being superstars, constant running.
Need to express their true self, to show their individual colors.
Non privacy, indelible online stuff...
This painting is prison bars.++
There's no code of conduct for Army twitter & there should not be one. Except maybe "Let's be a good human".
This thread will talk about helping moots, about interacting with songs and about attitude. Cause I've been very annoyed with twitter recently ++
Dear Namjoon,
BTS asked us countless time to trust them.
It's our turn to ask you to trust us.
Trust Army.
We are not going anywhere. Our love for each other is forever.
Remember:
We're best friends for the rest of our lives.
We'll be with you for the rest of our lives.
We take our seats. I'm so excited I'm squealing, telling her how happy I am that she's here... She tries to hide in her seat, wondering what she's doing here.
Concert starts, the public is a little too quiet but I let out a little scream of joy and she hides deeper.
+
Her vs me:
But how can a kpop boys band for teenagers have someone sing like this?
So I dug deeper & what I found was one of the best discovery of my entire life.
I discovered hard working artists, very talented, humble, genuine, chaotic.
I fell through the rabbit hole & began to heal.
