![[Today’s Bangtan] Jungkook @ Live at Times Square - 101123](https://www.btshubs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/wsbnxhzxjezb1.jpg)
Manifesting JK on Song Association since Elle US is based in NYC. It would be the perfect content for him. 
Edit: Also, other Hybe groups have done them…
At Target right now and they have Indigo vinyl in stock! Mine also arrived in the mail today, after 84 years.. Anyway, definitely worth checking if you don’t have one yet!!
And now I’m seriously ready for D-Day and Face vinyl releases, please Hybe intern 🥺
I was cutting out handmade pcs when Seven came out, and it was my first listen, didn’t check the version. And I was so startled by JK that I beheaded a Soobin card lmao caught between being distressed over a ruined pc and flustered over JK singing about fucking you right — my dude whyyyyyy
[HItsDD](https://m.hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=336790&title=BLAST-OFF%3A-A-HISTORIC-START-FOR-JUNG-KOOK) is saying JK’s album >!will be an all-English one!< , but am not sure how much we should believe them?! Personally, I wouldn’t mind it at all (let the boy experiment!) and prob will enjoy it a lot. Will just hv to get ready for the essays people will write on release day ☠️
Jhope x Louis Vuitton billboard and Jung Kook “Seven” promotional billboard [side by-side with each other in Seoul](https://twitter.com/KnjMyLife/status/1680269862914994178?t=JKXj8DaMozjCNmoJOQ5XYA&s=19)
hi friends. My mom is still in the hospital–she was transferred to ICU last night and there’s discussion of possibly moving her to a bigger hospital who can do more for her. She’s still working to heal from her infection but her spirits are very low, and she’s having a hard time feeling motivated about recovery what with everything going on. She and I have talked a lot about what she feels is an appropriate amount of medical “life saving” care, and i’m really afraid we’re reaching the point where she will want to stop. She’s been bedridden for nearly two months now and I don’t even know what the recovery for that looks like.
if any of you have any memes about jungkook’s sudden rise to Adulthood or funny BTS compilations, I’d love to see them 💜
I saw a tweet about the billboard predictions for Grammy AOTY. I don’t know about the rest, but because I enjoyed Olivia’s first album and am waiting for her second, I know for a fact that only one single has been released from it till now. And I am not sure if this is normal, but it really feels so weird seeing an album that hasn’t been released to be predicted to be nominated. I don’t think we even know when its supposed to release. I know most people already have stopped considering Grammys to be about quality of music, but this just makes it look worse to me.
I finally got around to gathering all the ingredients for Jungkooks perilla oil noodle recipe, to commemorate his new song. Fortunately, the Cham sauce can be made with common things at home, so I only had to buy a couple of things.
It was so yummy, even more so while listening to Seven.
I thought I knew a lot about BTS but reading the book made me realise how wrong I was. People ask me why I spend so much energy on them but I guess if 99% of your playlist are of one artist, its normal to spend more time? Also life sucks and I hope it gets better soon, I want to be happy when I see them again.
I’m streaming Seven while playing with my cat and it made me realize that if I disregard the sensual lyrics, the MV is a great visual representation of my relationship with my cat:
✓ she tries to run away from my seven-days-a-week affection
✓ she would rather play with laundry than to listen to me tell her again that I love her
✓ she gives me exasperated looks when I break out into song
✓ just walks away when I’m hurt (and it’s usually because of her)
✓ she finds things dangling in mid-air to be somewhat entertaining
✓ she still chooses to stay with me

Chapter 2 in a nutshell 😂
Subbed!

I’m reading the book and it’s kinda leaving me with imposter syndrome. I’m a baby army (Nov. 2023) and already knew that I had so much to learn…but now I feel kinda lame. I really wish that I had discovered them sooner and was with them during their earlier times to support them. I feel like (from the Weverse comments) that they may not have the same connection with newer army (especially because of some of the comments that are made during Weverse) which makes me incredibly sad. I hope they still find that connection and fulfillment from all army. I also wish that all army would do a better job…
sora (army translator) posted a [video](https://youtu.be/FZM8n3VkUMk) about live translating for bts
I like reading reviews each release, and some of the articles coming out this round are just not to my liking. I feel some have included poor questioning, pepetruated stereotypes of the Korean industry, and unnecessarily brought up other BTS releases in bad faith.
I do think Consequence of Sound & LA Times articles weren’t bad, but I would just stay a little more mindful of what your consuming.
It’s becoming clear to me that a lot of US journalist are actively trying to push their own narratives, which is just disappointing but at the same time not at all surprising.
Every time I think I have an idea of the release calendar the guys might have, the guys announce something that just mess it up.
Might as well go with the flow 🌊
Do you guys have a playlist for someone who is just about looping seven and like crazy and smoke sprite and Lilith 😭😭😭 can’t get enough of these songs it’s crazy
I’m not big on photocards but I have a couple of them because I bought BTS’s DVDs and an artist merch, so I want to sell them for those who might enjoy it more than me.
What would be the price range for a photocard for the Artist Merch be?
And what would it be for a photocard from Memories or Concert DVD/Bluray?
I’m guessing a PC from album would be priced even less than the two above, isn’t it?
TIA 💜
I.. am honestly feeling a bit stuck right now. And I don’t know if I can even talk about it here. JK is my bias, I love Seven, I want to have a good time and get excited but the place I normally would do that is right here. But even in Bangtan there is just so many…undercurrents.
I thought maybe the hype thread would be the place to go. I was wrong about that. Any of the mega threads. There is nowhere for me. I get that people want to complain, but I don’t want to see it, so where do I go?! JK has a chance at 1 in the uk charts, I wanted to get excited about that but now I’m just sad.
Reposting from last week’s post, since I realized that I posted it right at the end of the week, which probably wasn’t the best timing 🙃
I purchased this second-hand jacket (see linked pictures below), and the seller informed me that the jacket was originally purchased at a Las Vegas concert. However, when I looked it up to fact check, the MOTS Tour was cancelled for Covid, and anyway, there weren’t any stops scheduled for Las Vegas. Any idea where this jacket was originally purchased? Were they selling these at PTD On Stage in Las Vegas?
Images of the jacket:

(on my end, I’m seeing the 18+ flag on the pictures, and I have no idea why – don’t mind it, they’re not 18+)
I’m not new to Reddit. I’ve had another account for a long time but I posted about non-BTS things there and so I started this one to keep it separate (it was a lot of personal finance questions and interests lol). I’m also not a new ARMY—I’m a DNA/Mic Drop ARMY I just was mostly on Twitter and migrated here after it’s essential collapse (it’s almost unusable at this point). I still occasionally login to my Twitter though and imagine my surprise today when I’m scrolling the timeline and see that someone had screenshot my comment about Jungkook’s music video here on Reddit and spread it on Twitter.
At first I was kind of excited because my idea about the video resonated with others, but now I’m reflecting and feeling oddly about it. I worry someone might not understand what I was trying to convey or take it out of context. I don’t think anything I said can be too misconstrued but I guess it reminded me that the internet just spreads everything and has reaches much farther than my corner I share with all of you. Has anyone experienced this before? Am I being silly and sensitive about this?

Vote for Seven on Mnet M count down. Seven is currently 2nd and needs 2% more to become the Top!. Last day to vote today , ends at 11 am!
I wonder what’s so special about Joon’s project that it’s made him postpone his enlistment.. I remember in one of his recent vlives, he was saying he originally intended to enlist with hobi, but a project came up that he couldn’t refuse or something. That was months ago when he said that, and so I wonder what really has him pushing back that date for so long.
And then in his live yesterday, I think he said he was halfway done with his album (haven’t watched yet, but think I saw a twt trans)? That’s a bit crazy, bc halfway is far from done, meaning he’ll be around much longer.. and in his first Suchwita interview, he said he potentially hoped to return earlier than the members to start writing their new album. Guess that may be out the window?
UPDATE: The BTS performer credit tag is removed. Seems like a Spotify update issue so was corrected in the following update…let’s give all Spotify scenarios two days…cause it’s a mess on there lol
Why won’t Spotify let us know peace and constantly updates credits or how they count things…which causes people to ask too many questions & create odd scenarios.
I personally would like the BTS tag removed from Seven just because it clogs up the BTS profile a bit, but I do really enjoy how shuffling from BTS or playing THIS IS BTS includes all solo material.
I do understand why other sites keep most back-end things (credits, MLs, steaming) private.

Saw this on [IG](https://instagram.com/thinkingmindspage?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) and it made me miss Yoongi cause it reminded me of all the times the tannies made it a point to be the sunbaes they knew their hoobaes needed 🥺
With all of the excitement around Seven and the completely unexpected JITB Hope Edition drop announcement, I completely forgot that The Rose was dropping a teaser today for their new song. They’ve been playing it live during their festival sets and I watch every TikTok video of it I come across.

I am once again reminded and so, so grateful that we have our community rules and the best mods on reddit!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you again!
Very small non-bangtan-related rant, but are there other introverts occasionally annoyed by feeling like we live in an extroverts’ world? 😮💨
Already saw some fun stuff come out with Spotify and while looking forward to more, I myself thought of a few promotional stuff I’d really enjoy seeing JK do! Also considering the writer’s strike in the US and shows like Jimmy Fallon that are a usual part of BTS promotions being off the table now, I thought this can be fun to do (in case a Big Hit intern was lurking around on the sub somewhere haha!)
So here r mine:
YOUTUBE
-JK on Suchwita (if nothing else happens from this list pls let it be this haha 🙏)
-JK playing the Song Association Game (I mean he’s a walking karaoke machine)
-Reacting to Army edits (tho this can be a whole Run BTS episode on its own xD)
-Hot Ones with First We Feast (I just know he’d murder those wings xD)
~~-Thirst Tweets (especially appropriate for Seven but I’m scared for him tho?)~~
OTHER
-mini tour (idk the logistics of this but there r artists with smaller discographies that have toured so idk about that argument)
-fan calls ~~(again I’m scared for him lol)~~
Do y’all have other ideas haha??
I think someone at Big Hit has their months confused. The announcement about JITB Hope Edition, and the email I just got about it both say that it’s releasing “this Friday August 18th” lol
Does anyone have any predictions about Taehyung’s album? I’ve been really curious about how it might sound. I know he likes jazzy, old-timey music, but that’s fairly niche as a genre, so I’m wondering if he’d rather do something more pop-adjacent?
I’m reading Beyond the story right now. Two questions. 1. Do you think we have chance to get feedback about book from members? 2. Do you think those interviews were videorecorded and we have chance to watch them one day? My personal answers on 1. – NO, on 2. – YES
I was watching the ‘Seven’ performance video again and was thinking “ah a rare bun wearing all white” and it jogged a memory of him mentioning in one of his WeLives that he had to wear white all day … I might be mis-remembering or it could have been for something else. Anyone else remember something like that.
I need help finding a Seven meme!It was a list of most of the members use of the f word, but then Jin saying “I love yooouuu” and Taehyung said “Christmas?”I need to send it to my sister, but I can’t find it again!
BB is such a wonky institution.
BB has deemed digital store singles as an unacceptable form of consumption to judge a song’s popularity BUT digital store albums are acceptable 🙄
JITB Hope Edition – has a digital store already set-up and ready to go with digital albums.
So when it’s time let’s get the job done buy in the stores & the digital album online and get Jhope into the Top 5 at least!
Guys…have y’all seen [this MNET announcement](https://twitter.com/MnetMcountdown/status/1681291293790699520?t=hZnPgZSkH2reM5DP5186uQ&s=19) abt fraudulent votes for MCountdown pre-show voting that closed yesterday? Don’t want to bring in drama, but all I have to say is, I have a feeling it will work out in our favour!
Does anyone know why Spotify might be suddenly removing bangtan’s name in song credits? For instance, Life Goes On no longer credits rap line as writers. Instead, it just has “,,,,,,,” in their place. Those strange commas lead me to believe there’s a technical glitch involved, but was initiated by a person at Spotify? Why would they be revising the credits of several years old songs?
[This](https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cu27ImwNEX1/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) threw me off – worlds colliding!! 🤣
Shoutout to Yoongi for creating Suchwita! Outside of the musical content it is the best content creation in Chapter 2.
I feel like we get to really dive deep on topics or new stories about their past and future ambitions. Also, the members CLEARLY are excited to shoot their episodes while also watching each others episodes.
Suchwita is just such a great piece of content.
