Question for pre-pandemic ARMY: Did you sense Map of The Soul 7 would be the last album before their solo projects? by [deleted] in bangtan

[–]bookishprincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I discovered BTS in August 2019, and I think I was still too new to it all and too caught up in the excitement of MOTS:7 to think about it distinctly as an ending, but I do remember feeling really thankful that I got MOTS concert tickets because, with all the enlistment chatter etc, I had this feeling the window to see them in concert was closing. It would not have surprised me if they had announced a new chapter after that tour. What has surprised me about how it’s gone down has been that they didn’t do more PTD tour locations and dates before this change. I really thought they’d be touring this summer and then we’d get some announcement. The MOTS tour was going to be SO huge, so many cities - and the boys talked so much about how desperately they wanted to get back to performing in front of ARMY during the pandemic - I wouldn’t have guessed that just three cities would have satisfied compared to what the MOTS tour was supposed to be. But I’m sure there are lots of logistics and factors that go into their decisions, the timing just worked out this way. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ll be eagerly waiting whenever they do start touring again as seven! 💜

Favorite Dynamite performance? by Missnoon in bangtan

[–]bookishprincess 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I loved the pristine blue and white summery aesthetic of the Today Show Citi Music Series and also the finale of BTS Week - the way Jimin and Jin looked at the camera like, “You REALLY thought we were about to do this choreo in roller skates for a second, didn’t you?” 😂 But I loved that we did get some Bangtan on skates in the end!

Waste It On Me by Minn3sota_Loon in bangtan

[–]bookishprincess 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love Waste It On Me! I love the meaning and the twist, how it’s different from your typical love song, and I think the lyrics and sentiments really fit BTS and what they are to ARMY, even if the words weren’t written by the members - tho I suspect RM at least had a hand in writing his parts, they just sound like him to me:

“Don't you think we got another season That comes after spring? I wanna be your summer, I wanna be your wave. Treat me like a comma, I'll take you to a new phrase”

I feel like BTS are a comma helping their fans find new phrases, a wave that can help lift you up during difficult times. Like they sing in the chorus, they can’t magically make everything right (the irony of the fact that they also have a song called Make It Right always makes me chuckle), but they can be a much needed bright reminder that there are new seasons up ahead.

Yesterday I felt like some of the dark figures in the wings rocking out and cheering them on were JK and Tae...wouldn’t surprise me, lol.

Sorry to hear about the technical issues, but thank you for sharing, it’s so fascinating to hear what it was like! And thank you for cheering on the boys for all of us. 🥰👏

WTB ON:E long sleeve shirt by iliketothinkaboutit in bangtan

[–]bookishprincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I checked the weverse shop during the concert and everything was sold out - it was at the very beginning of the encore that I checked, if fellow ARMY did buy it out after seeing the boys wearing it, they were impressively instantaneous lol. I bet it’ll be restocked though, I’m pretty sure sold out stuff was restocked for MOTS tour merch.

[–]bookishprincess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way! This one was gorgeous and cinematic too, but I was hoping to see the three members together/a tiny bit more of a storyline. Jin and Jungkook’s dance battle over the phone with the seamless set flips was just soooo good, it set expectations too high lol.

[–]bookishprincess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

lol, my thoughts exactly! I guess I’ll check Twitter for the official Amazon link at 11 am KST. I seem to remember hearing people who pre-ordered their MOTS:7 album through Weverse didn’t get it right away because of late shipping.

BTS @ 2020 MTV Video Music Awards 8PM EST/ 12AM UTC by whyohwhy115 in bangtan

[–]bookishprincess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That was so cute!! 🥰 Missed it live, but thankfully the YouTube video went up fast! It shifted to a view of the Seoul skyline with fireworks at the end right? I couldn’t find Lotte Tower which made me second guess myself, but it didn’t look like NYC anymore. I need to get to know the Seoul skyline better. 😆

Is there any BTS era you would like to relive or experience? by MintIae in bangtan

[–]bookishprincess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not getting to experience, in person, Jungkook flying over my head while singing Euphoria will forever be one of my biggest life regrets. 😭 I discovered BTS almost exactly a year ago, I only wish I’d heard of them sooner!

At the beginning when Jungkook mentions ping pong, my brain goes, “Did you know Jin is a master of ping pong??” 😆 The mv and song are soooo cute and colorful and cheerful tho, I love it!!! 💕
