˗ˏˋsarirang⁷ˎˊ˗ is seeing BTS ∞⟭⟬

🐱: So, I was here about three years ago for D-DAY tour, somewhere nearby here. Back then, I did a concert in San Francisco, and this time, it's at Stanford. The weather is so good here and two days ago on my way to the shopping mall, I met quite a lot of ARMYs, you guys see me and you get just surprised, and you just leave (pretended not to notice). Ah, it was so nice. ARMYs have such great manners.. I think we had a great concert today and I was so surprised by your passion, and your heat, and your energy. We'll make sure to come back next time. Thank you everyone!

If I were in Stanford tonight I would keep all of my videos to myself and close moots.

Mind you, Stanford Stadium is completely open air. NOT designed with acoustics in mind. It’s a football stadium. For games. Stanford stadium is also below-grade bowl. One of the most obvious things affecting the way sound travels is the lack of a roof canopy that we see in most stadiums. This means sound escapes straight up into the sky with no roof curves to bounce off back into the floor. This makes it less overwhelmingly loud. Sound is not bounding. It’s just escaping upwards and prevents the reverberation. Second, Stanford stadium is built below ground level. So the dirt and the soil around the stadium act as acoustic absorbents. Most stadiums have concrete or steel walls, allowing sound waves to hit and vibrate back into the crowd. With Stanford, the waves are hitting earth. And gets dampened. Third, Stanford Stadium’s strict local city noise ordinance means sound pressure decibels must be controlled. AND. The stadium has a built-in sound system using precision digital beam-steering technology. Where this technology is directly designed to aim audio towards crowds and prevent from spillage to the outside. Four, atmospheric air pressure. We all saw that it was still daylight despite it being 8pm. Daylight affects sound waves due to thermal refraction. With the sun still out, air closest to the ground is hot. Air on top is cool. This causes sound waves coming from the bottom to travel faster upwards, bending over the crowd and out. The opposite happens at night when theres no more sun bc the lower air cools down. And lastly, as to why certain sections were louder than most, why someone from this section couldn’t hear people from the other sections. Same answer. It’s the lack of surfaces for soundwaves to bounce. No bouncing means it’s not travelling back and forth. Remember, sound travels in concentric circles. Like water ripples. And like water ripples, they vibrate. So if they have surfaces to bounce against, vibration frequency increases. When the vibration frequency of the sound wave increases, the decibel of the sound you hear also increase. If there’s no surfaces to bounce. It escapes. There. Hope this helps.

It feels illegal looking at this ahahah I'm sorry @MayBePinkpink

Im a local too who thought kpop is medicore and generic until I first heard BTS. Then I gave a chance to kpop and realized kpop IS medicore and generic and it's only BTS who make good music. This is why lot of ARMYs hate kpop in general. Bc we are the locals who think kpop is sht

@hemabangtanarmy In germany we just use WM which stands for Weltmeisterschaft = World Cup 💜 everyone knows what is talked about because there's only one WM 👀

does everyone outside of england refer to the world cup as fifa or fifa world cup? i swear we just say world cup here cos what other world cup is there, lol? i also don't like fifa as an organisation so i'd rather not say their name and only think of the world coming together

if phones weren’t allowed at concerts queuing culture wouldn’t be nearly as bad

Speaking of FIFA! Tang debut during FIFA 2022 while yoongi posted this screenshot of Jungkook performing at FIFA 2022 with tang on it. 😭🤣

@Livheartt I mean... literally billions 😭

Omg please bh release SEA ticketing before July 19th. Millions. And I mean MILLIONS of people will be tuning in to the final halftime show and will want to go see them on tour!! I CANT FIGHT MORE PEOPLE FOR THOSE TICKETS 😭 Don’t get me wrong. I UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT AND I AM FUCKING THRILLED BUT OMG I NEED TO SEE BTS IN MY HOME COUNTRY. I’m gonna throw up..

@Livheartt Exactly. I can't stand people panicking about this and making him feel like he has to hide any aches. I had a complicated wrist surgery when I was 11 and even that is still giving me pain in certain situations to this day (and I was a kid back then, its over 16 years ago!)

As someone who has done orthopedic surgical training for 12 weeks and worked with the Joints team in my hospital for those 12 weeks, please know that anyone who has ever gone through any type of surgery, minor or major, will inevitably experience discomfort. It’s due to the way joints are meant to be mobile so movement will cause wear and tear. Shoulder joints especially because of their unique ball and socket-360 range of movement. Some pain, stiffness, soreness especially with his line of work and activity is not uncommon. It’s not alarming either. I know he has some of the best physiotherapy team with him. He’s under good hands. Also, joints are joints. This doesn’t even have to be an injury or surgery related thing. And just an age thing 😭 hitting 30 is hard bc i swear I woke up on my 30th birthday and instantly had aches in places I’ve never ached before 💀 Just the beauty of aging.

@Iostinbadlands Let's hope for another European leg in 2027 🤞🏻🕯

@y0onverse good point, and further proves that europe definitely deserves more dates 🫩 the weeknd does a proper europe tour and is on the same level as bts with regards to venues so I really hope they come back next year

isn’t it crazy the entire continent of europe only got 10 dates yet 1 US state got 7 dates

@isa_ipmp Take the round-trip bus from Seoul to busan bestie 💜

Okay so question: what hotels are you guys going to in Busan? I have a few options but I don’t wanna end up in a sketchy one… Also, anyone booked in Changwon? I have an option there, seems a bit far but way cheaper…

@Iostinbadlands @kmgoogiemimi_ Paris and London isn't a good comparison. What about northern europe whose closest dates are Brussel and Munich? Its definitely farther away than LA & Stanford.

@kmgoogiemimi_ well stanford and la are literally further apart than paris and london so I’m happy for armys living there, but it’s still disappointing for us europeans 🫩 i genuinely hope we can get more dates next year

@senari_silvana @ARMYBTSguide @Rdove73084766 You are always so sweet on BCD and have helped me a ton with my collections💜💜 Its hard to not get discouraged from the site if even a thread for finding trading friends gets reported by users. I wonder what is the problem 🥹

@ARMYBTSguide @Rdove73084766 @y0onverse I found you here! You were so sweet with your message, but it got lost because of a glitch on the site and I didn't get a chance to take a screenshot 😞 Unfortunately, even my thread for finding no-restrictions trading friends was closed because of complaints from other users

*sigh* so now I have to go back to getting rejected from trades because someone thinks their digital photo is worth more than my digital photo (which btw are digital free photos) or I guess begging like I'm asking some kind of god for something

@BelllaTrixxLeSt @Greti_alt It still won't make trading a better experience only having open the more stingy thread 🥹

@Greti_alt I think they were probably getting a lot of reports of people not following the rules.

I have to wonder what happened...

my theory is that jimin told yoongi to look under the sheet to see the controversial picture (knowing it was a completely normal picture) and yoongi's reaction is him being annoyed with himself for falling for it. that's why hobi points and laughs at him

@icedlatteyoongi Don't be dissapointed in yourself. I love your writing and I will wait however long. The thing is people have such big entitlement. For books they pay for they have to wait years sometimes so why do they think its alright to comment on a FREE fanfiction? Take your time love💜💜

im just realizing it's actually been SIX months…… trust when i say that no one is more disappointed in me than myself!!!! im gonna jump off a cliff or something now

Seeing his bare waist up close makes me feel ill

@namu_bear Let's be happy they dont buy a ticket then, more for the rest of us!

it’s kinda whack to see ppl willingly giving up going to a concert just because they only want soundcheck,, you can have a ton of fun without vip too 😭
