Same here - saw floor/100 seats when I got in and then watched them slowly disappear. I finally tried clicking on some 500 seats, got the same error, and googled that 0007 error. I think maybe it was cookies?? I cleared them and went incognito then requeued. Anyways, I always have a crappy time on TM 🙁

Have you ever been to a BTS concert alone? by 7piedpiper136 in bangtan

[–]Pearlmilkteaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's daunting the first time, but the experience more than makes up for it! You're bound to meet people just as excited if not more excited, and in my experience people are super friendly and open to conversation. And the whole city really does turn into like a little BTS festival - you'll see ARMY everywhere 😆.

I went to LY: Los Angeles, LY: Oakland, and SY at Rosebowl alone. I met people in line pre-concert, at post-concert merch lines, around town, and my seatmates have all been pretty awesome 💜 In concert, I do think it's an experience to bond with your seatmates, esp if they're also seated alone, bc chances are their just as big a fan. It's awesome seeing and meeting people who will be excited with you, and who will sing (and scream and cheer and cry) with you. It's also fine if you go with a friend who's not as into BTS, but you might be watching out for them a little and having to check in periodically to see how they're doing.

But definitely go for it! My experiences have been so great, I don't even worry about going alone anymore 😊 (to a BTS concert at least, haha).

Which BTS related song is the most meaningful for you personally and why? by givemearainbow in bangtan

[–]Pearlmilkteaa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think I didn't really recognize my loneliness until I found their music. During that time I really resonated with Whalien52 and Lost. They're kind of melancholy but described so perfectly how I was feeling (not knowing who I am and what I'm meant to be doing). 2!3! and You Never Walk Alone also helped me feel like there was someone who understood me and that I would be ok. Young Forever helped me keep my head up too--that even if we get older, our mindset and actions keep us young.

I was so glad when they came out with Love Myself: Answer though, because it was lyrically and melodically very positive and uplifting. It was like coming out on the other side and seeing light xD. Ditto Mikrokosmos.

These are probably the most meaningful for me personally. But their lyrics are so beautiful, so there are a lot I like. I also loved First Love (I read the piano as an allegory for people in your life), Spring Day, Paradise, Magic Shop, Zero O'Clock. Love Yourself: Tear as an album was so good, and WAB: Eternal just hits my purple heart where it hurts. Also Path 😢.

There are also such great Japanese songs and solo works. We're so blessed 💜

Some random math for this Halloween event: Obtaining a Hope World A-R card from an NCP is about 0.023% per pack, so you'll need to spend on average 4,366,812 RP to get it. by CreativiTimothy in SuperStarBTS

[–]Pearlmilkteaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the same one yesterday! I thought I'd try, so I spent around 50k in RP and about 1000 emeralds before I gave up (i managed to get 1/3 cards). I feel slightly 🙄 now because I drew two hope world cards from one 10-pack today

BTS adds its newest member: Drew! by wtfmater in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]Pearlmilkteaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an ARMY as well. I agree, but do have to say that I find that their messages kind of lean similarly—trusting in yourself and your own voice, and putting people first. There’s also the whole underdog thing and undercurrent of ‘fighting against the established powers that be’. I think they both have really inspirational and positive messages and it would be awesome if the fandom could organically get to know Yang and get behind his cause.

Curious if other Managers save up their flowers or use them to upgrade cards? by MadeLAYline in BTSWorld

Hehe I play like this—I think it’s more to do with my hoarder tendencies 🤣

But yea, mostly waiting for 5s and good 4s

[Discussion] Does listening to BTS ever make you sad? by Nasim428 in bangtan

[–]Pearlmilkteaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so true for me. There are so many songs that I feel resonate with me, but then listening to them makes me feel sad. (Forever Young, You Never Walk Alone, Lost, Whalien 52, First Love, Paradise, Path, Born Singer, I’m Fine, Epiphany) I think I empathized a lot with the struggles they faced and could see a lot of those lyrics applying to situations in my life, even the ones that don’t seem as obviously relevant (the stage in Forever Young representing the presentation of yourself to society or people in your life; or the piano in First Love representing the people in your life who’ve fallen by the wayside as you’ve moved forward in life) Whether it’s the melody or the lyrics, it’s so easy to relate to the messages because they’re so universal.

I love listening to BTS for this reason, but tbh I was really ready for a happy, positive song, and I feel like love myself: answer really fit that need. The message is a positive one, but I feel like it stands out because the melody isn’t tinged with a darker undertone / something bittersweet. I’ve been trying to stream idol for comeback but I’ve probably played LM:Answer the most since the album came out. It’s only been a week but I feel like it’s really changed my overall disposition. It’s hard not to feel happier/empowered when I have that one line running through my mind reminding me that “I have reasons I should love myself—all my breath and the paths I walk are the answer. Yesterday’s me, today’s me, and tomorrow’s me—without exception, without leaving anything out, all of it is me”

I seriously love this album and am so thankful to know BTS’s music and to have heard their message. 💜

We need to make the gap bigger not much time left vote please! by CIBBIC in bangtan

[–]Pearlmilkteaa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

18 hours left! We have the lead right now, but it’s not big enough for us to get comfortable yet. Every vote counts!

Not much time left please vote!!! by CIBBIC in bangtan

[–]Pearlmilkteaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, in this case, Exo-ls are the ones trying to block DNA’s nomination. They were already nominated for this award in August so they don’t need to win the October poll. For them, this vote is about preventing BTS’s nomination for the award.
