KR⁷ 겨울바다로

Dear @BTS_twt Thank you for giving back my love of my first language, its intricacies and complexity I had forgotten over the years. In doing so, I have been led to my love of writing in both of my languages. You are and will be forever loved. Signed, an ARMY

@whatsnextdawn 🫶💜 Certain songs are forever attached certain armys in my circle. I love that this one sits w me on yours. 💜

@yellowinter3 He has that much awareness & much resolve in him fix on his joys. I too hope he gets to live it with more regularity & ease Upon coming down from the adrenaline//high emotions of a cb or after a big tour has kicked off to be well on its way, I tend to next rest my 🥰 on AMIs 👋

@yellowinter3 it's our song. I still listen to it all the time. It's inseparable from you

Every time 2.0 comes on, I think abt these words & the fact that he campaigned hard for this song to be included on #BTS_ARIRANG Quiet fortitude & subtle swagger of a fighter who’d been held back & bided his time to express the rage over so much injustice youtu.be/_gyultVTesk?si…

@SaraBangtan07 @BTS_twt 🥹🫂💜

@yellowinter3 @BTS_twt I feel seen too. I just sent the article to my dad too

SOBBING… For my fellow 1.5/2nd gen immigrant gen-x Koreans. I feel so seen. #BTS_ARIRANG #BTSARMY @BTS_twt

@UKIYO_713 Congratulations!!! 💜💜

I've been a little quiet on the tl these days (tho I do check the app once a day & rtwt stuff). A lot going on in my life. I got married so it's been hectic. But I'll hopefully be more active here in the next few days. Love to see the boys & the community doing so well 💜

@dominguez_cg Have a fantastic time!

BTS mania is alive in EP! I've found ARMY all over. 💜 My Uber driver saw I was coming for the concert & put on a playlist, then gave me her phone so I could manage it.😅 I rode the bus w/ a man who DJs. He immediately listened to B2B & Hooligans & added them to his pl! 😍

@yoongismafia It’s so beautiful! 💜🫶

To think there's mexican armys who think is cringy to embrace our Mexican culture and ancestry through Arirang ,being embarrassed of our colorful roots , watching our culture getting flowers from other armys around the world makes me feel proud and happy 🥹💜

i remember a discussion about Arirang being a masterpiece of resilience. people were calling it the Kintsugi of their career where the "cracks" of their hiatus became golden seams & it deepened the homecoming theme of the album 🥺 i love this comeback 😭

I have 2 tickets for the May 2nd El Paso date. Me and my concert bestie got better seats. Selling for face value, $322 combined or $166 each.

@SaraBangtan07 진짜 미친다

Communal bathing is a thing in Korea & other parts of the world. What is the problem with this?

@pinkcorgisrule This Eagles household will cringe. I’ll actually be there too. 😅 Other than the Pats, Beantown will always special where both my boys were born and was home for 10 yrs. Can’t wait! 💜

Damnit, I’m gonna have to see Jin in a Patriots jersey next? 😭😭😭😭

The BTS leader, RM, is a thoughtful and sincere speaker—and so too is Jin, the group’s eldest member. Beyond their formidable creative output, what impresses me most is their ethos. They reflect a version of modern masculinity that is both grounded and expressive. It’s not only acceptable, but encouraged, for them to articulate emotion openly—something still resisted in many cultures. That alone carries weight. What’s striking is the paradox: BTS are meticulously curated, yet often feel spontaneous, even unguarded. Despite the scale of their production, there’s no real sense of artifice. The sincerity holds. There’s a faint echo of Michael Jackson—not in style, but in cultural magnitude. The difference is that BTS, at least so far, have maintained a visible connection to themselves. Jackson, tragically, seemed at times to become a performance of his own myth. BTS speak frequently about vulnerability, love, and the role of their audience. Their acknowledgement of their fanbase feels less like performance and more like fact. The line between artist and audience is unusually fluid. Any group that has addressed the United Nations twice should not be dismissed lightly. Their themes are bold, and often braver than they’re given credit for. This is not a phenomenon confined to teenagers—it’s clearly multi-generational. The post-service return has confirmed something important: their appeal endured. Audiences across Korea, Japan, and the United States have re-engaged at scale. Few, if any, comparable acts have sustained that level of global attachment. From a business perspective, HYBE’s decision to pause operations for military service was always a risk. Culturally, it made sense; commercially, it was a leap of faith. These are not just artists—they are core assets. And yet, they are also individuals, not instruments of state or shareholder expectation. There was a momentary wobble. Markets reacted. Narratives shifted. But it proved temporary. What remains is this: BTS are not simply a musical act. They are a cultural force—disciplined yet human, constructed yet sincere—and still, crucially, believed.

Being part of an amazing global fandom like #BTSARMY we not only learn about the culture of @BTS_twt but about others in different parts of the world. Talk about being the bridge and universal language of music and respect. 💜 Read comments for the answer to OP’s Q.

Shedding tears over mh breakfast. 😭

@Misty_in_Texas7 This has happened to a moot. Ever since I heard that, I don’t bring up Twitter. 😬 My insta acct is a backup w little activity. So, I have given that one.

Can I tell you a quiet truth? I’ve become hesitant to give my user name at shows because I’m afraid I’ll find out they are someone I blocked or should block. I didn’t think twice before Ch2 but seeing how many weeds are hiding among the flowers has been eye opening. It hasn’t happened to me yet, but it has happened to moots. Is that weird? I’m probably just over thinking…. I don’t believe in block chains. I believe in curating my TL carefully. I also have my own little check list that I do on everyone before I follow or block. Anyway, that’s my quiet part out loud. Thanks for coming to my coffee talk.

@Bts2020Pgd Good luck! 🫶💜

@yellowinter3 Going to my local Barnes and Noble.

Been calling/stopping by my local (Midwest) B&N locations last few wks. Was told initially that they didn’t get it yet, but the kind bookseller called me back a few mins later after opening new boxes! Secured copies for my local army friends. Just fyi to check in your city too.

@PugSmore They didn’t get very many copies. I think maybe 5 or so of OT7, and 2 of each solo covers.

@yellowinter3 Oh B&N are selling individual covers too? Need to check out my local B&N

@PugSmore @raplineTam Ain’t this the truth! Wish we could just grab hold of the joy and stay there. Real life is chaotic, ugly, and dramatic enough. 😩

If the prerequisite for deserving BTS concerts is your government & country’s history to be squeaky clean then no one would be getting concerts.
