a poem for small things

an impromptu BTS comeback poem by me, entitled: “BTS, together”

BTS spending time together
BTS practicing together
BTS shooting promo together
BTS rehearsing for the tour together
BTS laughing together
BTS playing together
BTS together together together

Yes, hopefully that’s what it means!

BTS’ RM backs Korean art catalog A new catalog highlighting Korean paintings preserved in major museums around the world has been published with support from RM of BTS. The Overseas Korean Cult

Look! This project is made possible by Namjoon’s donation back in 2022. 🥹

Such a pleasant news to wake up to.

Thinking about how there were two choices for our fandom name and the other one was "bells".

(I don't think this is an intentional nod, I just think the universe is purple.)

I think it would be fun to do something like salsa, which is just ballroom-y enough that Hobi gets to learn something new, too, but still has lots of room for personality and vibes.

(also I am just very bad generally at Dances With Steps but I’m slightly less bad at salsa than the others 😅)

The word in the Korean notice is 상담 which I’ve seen translated to “counsel” or “consult” but I’m honestly not really familiar with the usage so I’m going to hope for the same 🙏

Exactly

My exact face reading this in what I assumed would be a regular privacy policy update…

The launch of the what now?

BTS member Jin kneeling behind a stool, pretending he’s about to eat the Mario Star figurine sitting on the stool; his hair is auburn and he’s wearing a cozy sweater in a pattern of variegated creams and grays; he is young, probably around 20 years old

Happy MAR 10 aka MARIO Day to this guy 🌟

Jinkook nonsense Vmin nonsense Namjoon zoomies oh I have prayed such times would return to us

BTS loops what was the reason for this attack??

I have watched this eight million times

Finding out that credit was blank because it was prod. SUGA would be EVERYTHING

A bit more info and a video of the bell ringing in this post: x.com/kookyun/stat...

A screenshot of a tweet from user @donz1925 (profile name chihiro⁷⁼¹•⟬⟭••ヾ(˙❥˙)ﾉ ⒷⓉⓈ ⓂⓄⓃⓉⒽ •) - the tweet text says "Is this the reason why we have the interlude: No. 29 title? will there be bell sounds in the track?" and there is an image of a screenshot with information about the King Seongdeok Divine bell, "which has been designated at the National Treasure No. 29" and "was commissioned by King Gyeongdeok to honor his father, Kind Seongdeok. Since the casting of the bell that weight as much as 18.9 tons could not be completed during" (the rest of the paragraph is not shown).

Detective ARMYs have traced the merch being inspired by Korean culture to the No. 29 interlude.

There being no credits for No. 29 when all past interludes have had at least a producer credit is a mystery I contemplate with delight and anticipation daily and this would be an incredibly cool reason.

I’m assuming it was more obvious at the time, especially in Korea or if you were into idol music, since the song had just come out.

I heard the line and my brain was like a meerkat: “Namjoon?!”

A screenshot of BTS member Yoongi in the middle of turning off his birthday live; he is standing and reaching toward the camera, other hand carefully holding his leather jacket so it doesn’t hit any of the three (cat-themed) birthday cakes on the table in front of him; he’s barefaced, a black beanie covering his hair, looking into the camera with a soft, happy, open expression; if I were going to be presumptuous and interpret that expression into words, it would be something like “bye for now, thanks for all the birthday wishes, I’m happy and excited for the new album, see you soon”; anyway he looks so pretty and I love him so much and only good things for him always and forever, don’t make me fight you, universe

Went to find something in my camera roll and triggered my cuteness aggression.

I heard Girls’ Generation’s I Got a Boy for the first time and realized Joon’s Circle Room Cypher line “I’m a boy 멋진, I’m a boy 착한” is likely referencing their lyrics (“I got a boy 멋진, I got a boy 착한”).

Which probably is a thing people already knew? But new info to me!

No but seriously what do you MEAN NEXT WEEK?!?

I have the best pumpkin pie recipe in the world. My mother inherited it from my great-grandmother; before I left for college I made her teach it to me. I have served it to people every place I've lived (it's been across the ocean, even), and taught my godson to make it. I think Yoongi would love it.

I know I've already been so pedantic this week, but... BTS has actually performed in all four of the places on that scavenger hunt question.

Perfect 💖

the best way i can suggest to pronounce/practice the ㄹ sound is by saying words that have "tt" in the middle kinda without enunciating the crisp t's, where they sound more like r/d at the same time

cont'd👇🏻

This is the most useful thing I have ever read re: ㄹ pronunciation, OMG

Thank you 🫶

(the chaos gremlin in me told me to post WOH for this)
