one thing about 'come over' that stops it shattering my soul is that it's already a knock on the door that has been answered. bangtan were worried the door had been closed. they trusted us to open if they knocked, and have now found they held the keys all along. this is home, we all belong here.

Loving the Korean shows they all chose to appear on this comeback. The hosts are kind and respectful, which we know wasn't always the case. Mr. Choo was just so lovely with Jimin and Jungkook. What a nice man. 🥰

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

More context on this #Artemis II image:

* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right

* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

An ARMY friend found this for first timers. BTS and Kpop concerts are not like any other concerts so being prepared so that everyone has a good time is always a great idea!!!!

I’m sorry… I’m late, aren’t I?
You’ve been alright, haven’t you?
Here we are, starting again—
let’s never lose each other like that again.

I’m still too overwhelmed (in the best way) to share coherent thoughts about Arirang. I do know that it’s got Namjoon’s fingerprints all over it and that makes my heart glad.

ARIRANG by BTS on Apple Music Album · 2026 · 14 Songs

중모리 rhythm notation from this Youtube video: https://youtu.be/cMLbLywatWM?si=5PzL7PT12PE9dBnV

Screenshot doolset's translation of Hobi's verse in Aliens. Transcript: Hello this your, hello this your new honey 박수 쳐, 흔들어, 중모리 Clap your hands and shake your body to the jungmori rhythm Note: 중모리 (pronounced jungmori) is a type of 장단 (pronounced jangdan), Korean traditional rhythm. Oh my god, do I look too funny? 뭐 어쩔래 just move for me What are you going to do about it? Just move for me Yeah move for me

I was reading doolset's marvelous translation of Aliens, and Hobi's rap about 중모리 is referring to the bass drum rhythm in the song that is an actual 중모리 rhythm!!

Because those precarious dead leaves over there look like us
Because they look like they'll crumble at the slightest touch
I just gazed at them like the autumn wind

On the 18th, HYBE clarified in an official statement: "The red color used for the Gwanghwamun Square performance is the key color of the new album Arirang." This lighting display is part of a large-scale project timed with BTS's comeback showcase for their new release, scheduled on the 21st at Gwanghwamun Square. At HYBE's request, the Seoul Metropolitan Government plans to light up major landmarks throughout the city-including Namsan Seoul Tower and Lotte World Tower-in red. A city official commented, "It will feel as though the entire city has become one massive concert stage," expressing excitement for the collaboration. However, some have speculated that emphasizing a specific color at a symbolic location like Gwanghwamun Square could carry political intent. In response, HYBE reiterated: "The city of Seoul is simply using red at HYBE's request," and added, "We ask that this pop culture event not be excessively interpreted through a political lens."

Full Official Statement from HYBE: Hello, this is HYBE. We would like to inform you that the red color used in the Gwanghwamun Square performance reflects the key color of the Arirang album. The Seoul Metropolitan Government is also utilizing red lighting at HYBE's request. We kindly ask that this cultural event not be interpreted with excessive political perspective.

Tomorrow.

Because the dawn right before the sunrise is the darkest
You, in the future, should never forget yourself of now
Wherever you’re standing right now, you’re just taking a short break
Don’t give up, you know
Don’t get too far away, tomorrow

The fact that Kim Taehyung cannot simultaneously be V, global superstar of BTS the most famous band of the world, and The Phantom of the Opera, dramatic cape-wearing specter perpetuating music in a European opera house, is yet another sign our universe is incorrectly organized

What if we don't actually get anything else from now till release. What if they don't even have a MV teaser. Just silence.... And then drop, and then EXPLOSION.

The rose wall thing was guerilla marketing army word of mouth, perhaps that's what they're banking on for the rest too 😱

So I see a lot of people talking about lightsticks and wanting their hands free - people sell lightstick straps! Good ones will have a rubber ring to hold your stick (yes yes I giggle too) nice and tight so you just wear it like a purse or whatever. So then when you don't want to hold it, it's fine!

Does anyone remember that convo during enlistment where people said they wished the members could control the army bombs remotely and light ours all up in their colour when they missed us.

What if this is it?!

*For legal reasons, I confirm this is a joke. But what if?!

all I will say as an OG ARMY is that Bangtan's early digital footprint still uh, looms large. Some WILD stuff out there. It's worth going down the rabbit hole!!

i started watching a tear performance with subs and i’m not even through with Joon’s verse and i understand what y’all meant with the lyrics

it’s raw. it’s pain. it’s them laid bare.

okay, gonna restart and watch again because they rap so fast 😅

I don't know their intentions, so I'm not suggesting this is fact, but a part of choosing an Arirang concept does feel a bit like

"We did everything the music industry said, we did English, we did pop, and you still didn't give acknowledge us. So F it. We're showing ourselves as who we are: Korean"

No more $10,000 BTS tickets? Korea passes laws banning scalping, piracy. A series of legal revisions aimed at banning ticket scalping and the illegal distribution of Korean content passed the National Assembly, as resales for boy band BTS's concert tickets were priced as h...

Yesss! Every country take note. Cough *Mexico* cough

Also be good if they follow France's example and cap resale prices at face value + fee, which discourages scalping in the first place.

This looks like fun!

my only notes to people under 30: your 30s aren't for ditching fandom, they're for re-evaluating all the "cringe" stuff you liked as a teenager through the lens of someone who can appreciate it fully, going, "that owned, actually," and becoming even more unhinged about it. please look forward to it.
