아리랑 투어 새 아미밤 연동 첫 콘이었던 부산콘에 다녀온 사람으로서 한마디만 하겠습니다 - 컴오버에서 아미밤 연출 = 아미밤이 꺼지는 것입니다.
왜냐? 플래시를 키니까요.
그리고 노래가 끝난 후 남준이가 많이 켜줘서 감사하다 했구요.
앞으로 세계 곳곳에서의 공연에서도 폰 플래시로 가득찬 스타디움을 보여주고 싶습니다 - 우리 모두 주변 사람들께 많이 알려보아요 🙏
I just need to say one thing about the new Army bomb synchronization. During Come Over, the army bomb lights go OFF.
Why? Because they expect us to fill the stadium with our phone flashlights.
Namjoon thanked the crowd on 613 for so many people turning their flashlights on.
I went to quite a few NA tour shows, and very few people had their flashlights on - please help spread the word so that for the remainder of the tour, the whole stadium can be alight for the tannies during Come Over 💜🙏
BTS has officially crossed 100 BILLION on-demand audio streams across all platforms, becoming the FIRST Group in history to do so.
— They're also the FIRST Asian Act and ONLY the 7th Act in history to reach the milestone.

[EXCLUSIVE] #BTS Will Break Down Their Song Lyrics and Favorite Korean Dishes in Upcoming Book Releases
— On Sept. 15, BTS will release the officially licensed title BTS Lyrics Inside, in which #RM, #Jin, #SUGA, #Jhope, #Jimin, #V, and #JungKook will dissect the songwriting across their catalog. Songs from Proof and Most Beautiful Moments in Life will be broken down to explore their deeper meanings and underlying messages.
— The collection will dive into everything from “Boy With Luv,” their 2019 collaboration with Halsey, as well as “Life Goes On, “Magic Shop, “Spring Day,” “Yet to Come,” “We Are Bulletproof : the Eternal,” and more. The lyrics will be presented in their original language alongside English translations for ARMY members hoping to study and analyze the records on a deeper level.
— In tandem, BTS will release the BTS Recipe Book cookbook drawing inspiration from the group’s album eras to craft recipes of flavorful Korean dishes. The lineup includes scorched rice crackers, carp bread, sugar-filled griddlecakes, Korean fried chicken, simmered rice cakes, ginseng chicken soup, braised beef ribs, and more.
— “BTS is a global force, and we couldn’t be more excited to partner with CAKE to bring these unique, thoughtful books to their dedicated and discerning fanbase,” said Shannon Fabricant, Vice President, Publisher of Running Press, in a statement. “Being able to deliver these inside perspectives on the band’s music, preferences, experiences, and more during what is already an extraordinary year for BTS is especially gratifying.”
— Seok Kyo Jeong, Vice President at CAKE, added, “Our mission at CAKE is to help fans deeply connect with their favorite artists by breaking down language and cultural boundaries. By combining our unique K-pop-based content — which continues the educational DNA of HYBE EDU — with Running Press’s exceptional publishing expertise, we are thrilled to offer ARMY a more immersive and meaningful way to experience BTS.”
📌 There’s more to come. BTS’ publishing partnership will extend through 2027 with additional releases on the horizon.

Namjoon on weverse:
Hello. On this beautiful day, I am writing to you for the first time in a while.I do not particularly like or deeply believe in the phrase "someone saving someone else." However, having undeservedly heard such words from time to time, it makes me look back and realize that perhaps I, too, was saved by all of you.I am trying to live my life more simply, cleanly, or perhaps more boldly than before. The moments I fall into deep sentimentality have decreased significantly. Even so, the fact that the world is still a sad place seems unavoidable, no matter how many happy days there are. Then again, maybe it is actually because I am just so happy.I have shared so many words and thrown so many sounds your way. I do not exactly know which melody or which pebble managed to reach each of you sitting here right now. Yet, I feel like I will always be someone who keeps sending and throwing things out like that—just as I did thirteen years ago, and just as I will in the future. As long as there is all of you to listen. It brings me immense joy that we can create memories together and grow older year by year. I love that I can still shout out to someone. Time and again, I see myself through you. Do you experience that too?Thank you once again for sharing this precious anniversary with me. Today is Saturday the 13th, an incomparably beautiful day. No matter what anyone says about what this means, I want to keep building anniversaries and memories that only we know deep in our hearts. As always, I look forward to our time together. I love you
Joon I love you so much🙁💙
