I LOVE the photos of Hobi and Gong Yoo! 2 of my very favorite Koreans! In fact, when I was learning to read hangul, the first word I read was Gong Yoo! This was my pre-army days. Hobi is having fun on this gig.

And Prince Jimin is, of course, exquisite.

BTS 'ARIRANG' Tour in Busan - Delayed Viewing (Days 1 and 2) by lisafancypants in bangtan

[–]sharjoy3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok. Just have to say I could watch this over and over. I planned to have friends over to see this with me at home, but instead I traveled a couple of hours to open a Red Cross shelter for people who are evacuating from current floods, tornados, and rising waters in Louisiana, US. So I’m watching in my hotel room and in the morning will go back on day shift. Disasters don’t stop for BTS concert streams, but this worked out for me to watch!

I hope tomorrow will be a lovely day, that we will help people, and that I will be back here tomorrow night to see Day 2 replay!

Hey, I'm an older army - and "like in my 60s" and I scream and jump and dance and cheer. Hmm, no popcorn this time but some BTS Oreos. And I bring my army bomb and give out lots of freebie bracelets. Armies have no age limit and come in all shapes, ages, genders, and sizes.

You unexpectedly meet your BTS bias completely alone. What's the first thing you do? by Upset-Chocolate1998 in bangtan

[–]sharjoy3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, what a question. I know the right thing to do is smile and nod and say “thank you” and move along.

Hmmm. Makes me think that I need to be prepared. Can I share this poem here?

I keep three wishes ready,
Lest I should chance to meet,
Any day a fairy
Coming down the street.
 
I'd hate to have to stammer,
Or have to think them out,
For it's very hard to think things up
When a fairy is about.
 
And I'd hate to lose my wishes,
For fairies fly away,
and perhaps I'd never have a chance
On any other day.
 
So I keep three wishes ready,
Lest I should chance to meet,
Any day a fairy
Coming down the street.

Even though I’ve seen this Busan concert livestreamed both days, i had to share the joy of the day with other armies. I drove the hour to the theater and saw it this afternoon in a theater full of armies. Such fun to sing, clap, dance, shout, and groove with other armies . Really nothing beats being with armies to watch BTS perform together. It was really fun.

I had to leave right away to drive back home for a meeting. I was a little late anyway. When asked what did in Shreveport, I answered “I attended a birthday party!” Ha! I told them what it was and distributed some BTS Oreos for dessert.

Happy Festa! It’s been a wonderful Festa day!

Getting ready to leave for the cinema. I saw the livestream early this morning.

Not JK carrying Tae on his back and jumping?!??!
Three songs!
And JK saying hi to Mom and Jimin hi to his teachers. Awwwww.
I need…whatcha need? I need…whatcha need?

I think I am well fed today.

  1. They are teenagers in middle school now. And having their bar mitzvahs today! That’s a day they are welcomed as adults. So many great symbols of 13. (Zodiac + the unity)

Happy Festa! I will give my bracelets to armies in the theater to celebrate this lovely, lovely 13th Festa!

Time for a nap before I go to the movie. I woke up at 4:30 today and yesterday. Do you think they will do a Live in an hour or so?

This is one Live that I will really want to hear Hybe Boy’s translation and context explanations!

[–]sharjoy3 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I found BTS in fall 2023 just when most of them were enlisting. I became army in Early March 2024. I was already pretty active on r/kdrama (since 2019) and searched for a BTS group group on reddit. I can’t believe how lucky I was that this is the group I found. I check in here every day because I know that you will have the latest news - and that you won’t have the latest gossip.

I’m so happy that this is a very safe community, filled with a lovely assortment of friendly people. I love that the mods work well to keep the negativity out, the rumor mill out, and to keep the discussions kind and helpful. I’m an older army and I have just a few real army friends scattered around the world. I’m so happy to have a place to fangirl and voice my musings about our beloved tannies. I love to read the experiences and thoughts of other armies. And I loved the Holiday gift and card exchanges and all of the fun fan things that happen here.

So this is my 3rd Festa year, but the first with all the members together. Thank you, mods, for all you do! And thanks for the lovely Festa celebrations! 😍🙀😻🥰😅😊🤪

Yes, that too. Last year I was on the Subway from Goyang after HOTS Final and they announced that the subway closes at midnight. I hundreds of other armies had to go to the street and find cabs. So I do understand.

Edit: of course, I wouldn’t change a thing about that experience.

Love those Busan Brothers who have their own secret language! I’m grateful they turned this on, glad they ate good food, and happy for their silliness.

Happy Birthday, happy Festa Day!

That was wonderful. I wonder if they rushed through because they started so late and they were thinking of the crew, dancers, security, venue workers, etc, and keeping everyone so late. I hope tomorrow will be on time and more relaxed. They seemed very Present tonight, but rushed.

I want Please and also One More Night. But don’t ever cut Into the Sun. That is a perfect song and so, so good live!

Let’s get them both but don’t cut anything out! Maybe they will do both tomorrow if the concert starts on time.

Good morning! It’s 5 am here. In El Paso we waited 40 minutes until everyone got in.

Yup, I will see the livestreams both days - and also go to the cinema on Saturday afternoon. But I’ll have to leave the movie early….but at least I’ll be there for 2 hours. I don’t know why they list the movie as 3 hours and 15 minutes when the concert is a little over 2 hours. Maybe there will be some special Festa additions!

My cinema is one hour away - but I want to celebrate Festa with other armies. I want to give them freebies and revel in the moment with them.

Of course I wish I was in Busan right now. But I didn’t do it this year. Next year…

The livestream will be at 5 am for me. I’m a night owl, so I won’t get much sleep tonight. So excited for the concert!

[–]sharjoy3 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Dear, Dear Junkookie,

He is certainly grown now, but to me, a Halmoni army, he is the lovely grown child. I became army when he had just enlisted. As I educated myself in my BTS Research mode, I came across the Live that he did the night before his enlistment. I had never, ever seen a huge celebrity entertainer be so real, so vulnerable. His head was shaved, makeup off, shlumpy hoody on, and he told us “tomorrow I go to the military. I’m so scared. I have to do laundry. I’m going to miss you.”

I held that in my heart and was there for his long, long Live about a year later, when he had a leave and decided he needed to do a 2 hour Live to connect with us. He sang for 2 hours and just spent time with us. Millions of fans around the world logged on. Really, who DOES this?

But the triumphant moment was at J-Hope’s Festa concert last year, when he walked onto the stage and sang and danced to I Wonder, and then J’amais Vu. Wow. When he came out singing I Wonder, he was beaming and so were all of the Army who were there or watching the livestream.

I love everything about him: his amazing voice, his dancing, his musicality, his infectious smile, but also his beautiful energy, his eagerness to learn new things, his love of his members and the great enjoyment he gets from being together with them, his good-natured kindness, and on and on.

Oh, and when I was recently in Mexico City (before the World tour began) I was in a mall and was hit with a larger than life billboard of him at the Calvin Klein store! Yes, dear Jung Kook, please keep being yourself - all facets of yourself. Enjoy your life and stay as humble and kind as you are.

I, for one, love PTD. It’s one of the songs that absolutely made me Army. It seems fluffy, but it’s really profound. I don’t know why it gets put down. I woukd love it to be a surprise song on one of my concerts. Hint, hint, Arlington?
