bts adding this is VERY important. merry go round emphasizes that while you may feel you are moving forward in life (growing up, achieving success) you are still anchored to the same heavy anxieties. the horse vertical movement mimics life’s temporary highs and lows but the horizontal trajectory never actually leaves the circle. growing up does not mean being free from anxiety and pressure. this is bts telling us that you are NOT alone when it comes to that kind of struggle.

The military quarters is the top canopy to represent they are in a loop of commitment & active duty that they cannot get out of.

The only room with the lights on is RM's. Insomnia. Overthinking.

This perfectly mirrors the rigid structure of military life: waking up at the exact same hour, executing the same drills, and following orders without question day after day. they ‘do their best’ to excel in their duties, but they have no control over the speed of the ride

[yelle 🗯️ ; ia 🇰🇷 @youngkeuz]

it’s been a struggle of mine since i arrived and idk what’s the explanation for it ???? srsly the amount of money i spent buying bottled drinks at the konbini just bc i thought i was going to die of dehydration

[yelle 🗯️ ; ia 🇰🇷 @youngkeuz]

idk if it’s a common experience in korea to be parched all the time ?? like whenever IM out my mouth and throat get dry sooooo fast it doesn’t matter how much water or electrolyte drinks i take… i can finish a bottle and minutes later im thirsty again and feeling nauseous

not enough ARMYs know about the Phone Lights for Come Over

during Come Over, army bomb synchronisation turns the lightstick OFF — there is no colour at all.

this is so that armys can turn on their phone flashlights

tannies commented & thanked armys for it during their speeches

rich in life because i got to experience arirang festa live ;-) 🫀

[mina⁷𝄢 @namu_bear]

when it feels like everyone is doing so much more than you just remember that throughout the entire arirang tour, the projected percentage of army who will get to see BTS live is 2%.

if you’re going to only one concert, you’re already part of that insanely small percentage ☝🏼

[슙짐 @syubjim]

🐥 armys might...not know? or know it well? if someone who isn't army, isn't one of our members, doesn't know him personally were to go, "oh yoongi seems pretty hyped today", then that means yoongi hyung was reaally in a good mood
🐥 you know what i mean, right?
🐥 when yoongi hyung is in a reeally good mood there are those subtle tells.. like he'll walk out toward the front more...
🐥 during ment, he'll step forward more
🐥 on days when he's low-energy he mostly stays where he is ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
🐰 and today he was a little more out in frontㅋㅋㅋ
🐥 that's right ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Rize⁷ @rize07addict]

Can't believe we had fcvkass svt, bigbang and even wannaone stans trying to convince people online that THE BTS out of all artists apparently 'failed' to attract enough crowd in South Korea out of all places during the Gwanghwamun fiasco,,

I'll be honest, as someone who has professionally helped organise large-scale events, the issues being reported from Day 1 of Arirang in Busan (12 June 2026) don't point to failures by BTS or BigHit/HYBE. Instead, they appear to be failures in venue operations, crowd management, and local event execution.

Based on what we've seen from attendees, the primary failures appear to sit with:

• Government representatives
• Venue management
• Local event organisers
• Security contractors

Reports from the timeline include:

• Significant delays getting attendees into the venue
• Poor crowd management and queue control
• Gift distribution that appears to have been poorly planned
• Technical issues with NOL FacePass verification
• Reports of inadequate medical staffing, equipment, and emergency response resources
• Poorly managed entry points
• Reports of unprofessional conduct from some security staff towards attendees
• Public transport operating on normal schedules despite the event running significantly late
• Traffic police directing attendees away from the venue while tens of thousands of people were simultaneously attempting to access buses, trains, taxis, and rideshares
• Insufficient transport and crowd-dispersal planning for the volume of people leaving the stadium at once

Having attended Yet To Come in 2022, I still remember how difficult it was to leave the venue. At one point, the crowd density became high enough that I was genuinely concerned about crowd crush. That's why transport planning and crowd dispersal aren't minor operational details - they're critical safety measures.

BigHit/HYBE are renting the venue and producing the show, but venue operations, crowd control, security staffing, emergency services, transport coordination, and infrastructure are often managed locally through the venue, local organisers, contractors, and government agencies.

What stands out to me is that if this level of operational dysfunction were primarily a BigHit/HYBE issue, we'd expect to see similar problems at BTS concerts everywhere. Instead, we continue to see recurring concerns associated with this specific venue and its management.

Unfortunately, BigHit/HYBE are the most visible organisation attached to the event, so they're often the first to receive criticism when something goes wrong. However, based on the issues being reported, many of these failures fall within the responsibilities of venue management, local event organisers, security providers, transport coordinators, and government agencies.

As someone who has worked on large-scale events, I think it's important that accountability is directed at the parties actually responsible for each aspect of event delivery. Not every operational failure at a BTS concert is automatically a BigHit/HYBE failure, particularly when the same concerns continue to emerge around the same venue and local management structures.

i was on the verge of crying too because the verification gate for my section was nonexistent n there was so much yelling happening (which didn’t help bc i couldnt even understand what they were saying 😭) until they eventually told us to just enter through any gate

[yelle 🗯️ ; ia 🇰🇷 @youngkeuz]

oh my god this is heartbreaking… it was seriously the most chaotic thing i’ve ever encountered out of all the concerts i’ve been to

[Liv⁷ met hobi | ㉧㉣㉣ | ❤️🤍 @Livheartt]

It had nothing to do with getting there early enough btw. We were there with plenty of time to spare.

They had no control of the massive crowd that was present. No clear paths set for where to go for admission.

My entrance was stand still for an hour. With nowhere to go. It was a wall of human beings packed literally body to body. And for some reason my entrance just stopped letting anyone in bc they ran out of wristbands and gifts for those who had facepass. They stopped everyone.

Told us to go to a DIFFERENT ENTRANCE WHEN WE COULDNT EVEN MOVE.

This was at ~6.54pm

A bunch of us made it in. We scanned our facepass and made it in.

I ran from the 3rd floor down THREE TIMES FOR THE GIFT. Each time the swarm of people rushing for it. People grabbing in. Those who weren’t in yet that were coming in just grabbed and went. Staff were yelling. Army was yelling. People were crying. Random people were grabbing the gifts from the boxes. It was the scariest shit I ever witnessed. At some point they said if you want your gift, you wait and possibly miss the start or you go take your seat.

????

It was my first OT7 in 7 years of being army. I wasn’t missing anything.

I was crying the whole time during that delayed one hour. I was shaking.

The only thing that got me out of it was the show starting.

BTS was everything and beyond. That 3 hours they made me forgot how genuinely heartbroken I was bc I read that news got to them. That they were hoping no army left without the gifts. That they handpicked them.

And then in the same line of vision I see posts of people selling their gifts. I can’t. Words can’t describe this feeling.

After the show we were told we could collect it outside. Here there everywhere. Finally it’s the information booths. Lined up. Got yelled at more. Then they just told us all to go bc there were no gifts.

And then as I’m walking out to get further away enough to get a cab. I see this small group. Who have two each. They just took extra.

I felt sick to my stomach.

This feeling is awful. Awful. I cried the whole cab ride. I’m still sobbing.

I would never wish this experience on anyone.

The apologies should come from staff who were not communicating with each other and the organisation who did not factor in what a mass of up to 80k would look like trying to bottle neck to into entrances.

BTS was everything. Seeing them was everything. I got Normal Korean version, Paldogangsan, Ma City and One More Night. It almost makes up for everything else. Almost.
