@seeuinttukseom "high on music" & "experiencing the sublime" - love the resonance & fresh undercurrent of those two phrases ๐
Thank you for sharing!!! Wishing you many 'aha moments' as you continue to create!!!
Instead of reading what was written on the teleprompter, a Texas news anchor/journalism teacher made a wildly inappropriate 'joke' that BTS' cookie collab with OREO bore the message 'Death to America.' Neither he or his outlet seem bothered by the lie.๐คก

Thank you for representing ARMYs so well and thank you for showing BTS so much love & making them so happy!!

Just so that everyone knows because Iโm in a fkn mood today.
I AM NOT A K-POP FAN.
I AM BTS ARMY.
And normally I would preface this by using the word โrespectfullyโ.
Not today.
.@bts_bighitโs Suga (#๋ฏผ์ค๊ธฐ) talks to Rolling Stone about finishing his trilogy under his alter ego, Agust D.
"I did feel quite resolved after finishing the trilogy. I felt like Agust D was wrapped up...After that final album, I donโt have any negative feelings left in my body."

Iโm LOVING the solo Rolling Stone interviews.๐ I already mentioned RMโs but I really enjoyed seeing Jinโs gentlemanly humility & love for his team.๐ฅนโจ
And can I just say that Yoongiโs stoic, calm aura is absolutely magnetic? Quiet, resilient, unflappable confidence. ๐ซ ๐ฅ๐ซ โจ

I became ARMY in 2015, and I started Twitter in late 2017.
I noticed that many international ARMY wanted to understand BTS more deeply โ the news, the Korean lyrics, and the little thoughts or everyday moments the members shared in Korean during lives. So from time to time, I started posting translations.
I never expected so many people to respond. So many ARMY supported me, and it made me genuinely happy. There were many similar accounts back then, and we all supported each other too.
I had another full-time job, so trying to balance everything was not always easy. But the happiness was always greater than the difficulties, and thatโs why I kept going.
As time passed, it became about more than translations. There was a language only ARMY understood, even without words. I loved that. And whenever there was something we could do togetherโif it meant helping BTS shine brighter and reach furtherโwe did everything we could online.
Through that process, ARMY became closer. There were funny days, frustrating days, and deeply emotional days. We laughed together, got angry together, and cried together.
Back then, I even translated the smallest K-media articles. But nowโฆ you know. The whole worldโs media is watching BTS.
Sometimes I stop and think about how far weโve come. It still feels unreal.
์ฌ๋ํด, BTS.
์ฌ๋ํด, ์๋ฏธ.
โThe most staggering data point from Netflixโs release, however, is the social media footprint. The BTS campaign generated a jaw-dropping 2.62 billion global social impressions across Netflixโs owned channels. Hashtags dominated worldwide trends from the US and Korea to Brazil, Poland, and India.โ

18.4 million global viewers (Live+1) showed up for their BANGTAN when BTS reunited LIVE onstage for the first time in almost four years in BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG!
Congratulations to RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook on their iconic performance.

BTSโs Gwanghwamun comeback stage featuring Arirang with traditional Korean musicians was the result of 3 months of collaboration with the National Gugak Center. Led by director Yoo Ji-sook, 13 performers prepared extensively, creating a completely new, refined version of Arirang tailored to BTSโs vision, blending traditional sounds with modern, off-beat arrangements.๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐๐
The performanceโfeaturing live vocals and instruments like geomungo, gayageum, and haegeumโwas broadcast globally via Netflix and widely praised. Yoo highlighted that BTS had a dedicated producer knowledgeable in gugak, ensuring the traditional elements were not just background but fully integrated and properly showcased on camera.
Behind the scenes, rehearsals were highly secretive: the night before, the team practiced at Gwanghwamun with all music turned off, using in-ear monitors. Even on the day of the show, BTS continued practicing until 30 minutes before going on stage, despite RM performing while injured on crutches.๐๐๐ฅน๐ฅน๐ฅ
The staging and costumes symbolized Korean identity (Taegeuk colors), and Yoo emphasized that the goal was to present Arirang meaningfully on a global stageโhoping it would highlight the depth and beauty of traditional Korean music worldwide.
