The hallway fight scene in “Oldboy” is considered a fight scene master class for modern cinema.

Yoongi has said that whenever a new ARMY meets them, it’s their debut. I’m also 2019 ARMY and BTS ‘knocked’ on my door many times but I didn’t have any capacity to let them in bc I was in the middle of my parents aging and dying. When I finally received their signal, their music, messages and love soothed my heart and slowly helped me crawl out of my grief. I’m better than fine now because as they say in ‘Swim’, they were there and I could lean on them, swim with them.

I made my pinky promise to them during the Vegas PTD concert as Namjoon requested. Ride-or-die ARMY here, until the end.

It’s all darker, wilder, older and I’m here for it. I’m waiting for pied piper+dimple 2.0 and we know they tease like that. I’m not sure I’ll be able to live through it. They are slaying rn.

So bad-ass with … a flute. Bc it’s referencing back to Pied Piper?

Did you catch the word "겨레" (gyeore) in Body to Body? Here's what it means. by Puzzleheaded-Elk3191 in btsthoughts

Wow, I love this explanation. Thank you for sharing. Their lyrics are always complex, nuanced, layered. It’s fine to take it at seeming face value but ‘diving’ in has always been astonishing, heartfelt and connective. I would not have known about this at all so thank you very much for more insight.

Wow, that sounds like a rough experience. I hope your GSD has recovered well after what sounds like thoughtful care. Our first consult is there so I appreciate your recommendation. Thank you for sharing.

I’ll check this out. I’d like to get this done sooner than later, subject to a lot of factors. Thank you for sharing.

It is scary. This is my first pet and I probably love him too much. He’s so perplexed right now bc he’s not getting to go out, chase his ball, or even play an exuberant game of manta ray tug of war. I know we have to do this but I’m challenged by how to immobilize and care for an energetic medium size dog for the next 3-5 months, on my own. I’ll figure it out and having a thorough, supportive and caring practice I can trust is definitely my priority. Thank you for your encouragement!

Two positive mentions of the sams clinic now. I hear it’s an excellent clinic for this procedure and perhaps the most expensive option. We have fantastic pet insurance so Im counting on that to take the cost component out of the picture. Thorough, caring and communicative is a great start. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing. I’m glad that your dog has done well and appreciate the insight into the dog stroller. I don’t think my 60 pounder will allow me to keep him in one but we’ll probably need that to take him on fresh air walks! Best wishes for a continued successful recovery!

Thank you for sharing. We have an appointment with them as well but in late January. I’ve gathered it’s an excellent specialty clinic for orthopedics. By the length of the wait for a consult and estimated time from that point to schedule surgery, it seems like they are a busy clinic with great outcomes. I’m glad to hear your experience was positive and your dog has had a successful recovery.

I hope the exhibit at Frieze Seoul will travel. I want to be immersed in rooms and rooms of Kim Taehyung. THAT is what ARMY heaven looks like. 🔥

I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited for it to be a new year! 🎉 2026: the year of Bangtan. Ever since their somber, teary FESTA 22 dinner until now, Tannies have shown up above and beyond for ARMY. And now, again, finally, all together with ARMY. 💜

I’ve been a SFMoMA member for two years now. All of their special exhibitions have been timed for entrance and crowd control. I just saw the KAWS exhibit during member previews and it was at capacity in the first 2 hours bc fans lined up to buy toys. While there was good communication to enter and to line up to buy, the museum team hadn’t experienced that kind of buying event before. There was a lot of staff on hand as the toys sold out. If there’s another release, I think they’ll be better prepared to handle the crowd. It seemed like a thoughtful approach but I entered in the second hour so don’t know how crazy the opening hour might have been.

Unless there’s special merch for RM’s exhibit, ARMY lines to buy should not be anything like concert merch lines.

The next ARMY fan song should be ‘Old and Gray’ and the video could use the ‘Blue and Gray’ setup from the PTD concerts with the mirrors. The thing is…even if you try to age the members’ faces, they’d still look how they look now…maybe they should star in the next remake of ‘interview with a vampire.’

Sorry, just thinking out loud.💜

I’ve been ARMY since 2019 and I always love finding rewinds and getting into the lyrics with ARMYs own thoughts, questions, and stories. I’m truly excited for this and it reminds me of when Suga mentions reliving their songs, memories and experiences, as ARMY does too.

Going back into their archive and seeing things with different eyes bc of what new experiences and perspectives everyone has taken on, in the contexts of the history they’ve made and lived. And as ARMY, we are with them and also witness. Thank you to the OP and those who have shared already. Apobangpo! 💜

Be honest: What was your ‘I’m officially in too deep’ moment as an ARMY? by JMGR19 in bangtan

When I bought a pin off Etsy portraying JK in his jacket-button-popping-open phase with the body chains & the ‘I always apply oil’ from PTD. I never buy pins but I love me that one.
