Hi Aussie ARMY.👋 Anyone else freaking out over ticket presale???? It is so so important to me. 😭😭😭😭😭 so scared I am going to screw it uppppp.

Having observed Western industry narratives around BTS for nearly a decade now (I was here before that, but they literally got ZERO coverage before 2017 despite already having major international success), the patterns stand out clear as day. There has been a systematic effort to shut BTS out. 🧵

Random tea about the Drake album release you probably don’t know about. And it has to do with charting 🧵🪡 So Drake dropped right ? Everyone predicted he’d have the largest Spotify debut of 2026 competing with Bad Bunny. Well you’re right Spotify even posted about it with Billboard backing it.

YOONGI RAPPING "BAD BAD GIRL" IN BOY IN LUV IN THE BIG YEAR OF 2026 WE'RE SO BACK!!!! 😭

I know he was regretting not wearing a skimpy shirt to lift up and tease his abs with in that moment

That Run ep made me so so happy. I laughed so much. We’re really back.😭😭😭 youtu.be/wu6bA3zK_us?...

In 2021, the Met Museum gave the South Korean delegation a rigid “wait your turn” response until the “BTS card” was played. Once the museum realised #BTS was attending, their attitude shifted to total cooperation, proving the group’s massive diplomatic power. + #BTS #방탄소년단 #DS_BTSHistory

I think it is funny how every time Yooong speaks about how long BTS can keep doing this he makes them older.😂 A few weeks ago he said they could still be together into their 50s and 60s. And now he is saying it can be into their 70s and 80s.😂

Y'all a MUST share & read. ARMY 💜 BTS APOBANGPO +

ARMYYYYY here’s the google folder! It’s got several file types and sizes, including lossless 📁 bit.ly/4saXgQB If you save anything from here, give Arirang a stream from top to bottom for me!

Maybe it is just my melancholy mood today but parts of Arirang album feel quite sorrowful and I love that. Eg in Normal, Hobi’s line: “Now I understand the truth, some pain don't heal If everything's just happy, mm, that ain't real.”

I love that he is holding a back scratcher.😂😂😂 youtu.be/O_UAV5Ckr-g?...

woah just read this huge reddit post about a girl’s experience in a c bar GC (for enhypen but def applies to all groups) and yea pretty much validates every bit of disgust i have for fan sites

🐱: i hate swimming 🐨: you HATE SWIM?! 🤨 🐱: yeah i hate SWIM– WAIT WAIT NO NO! I LOVE SWIM! 🐱: i don't like water NAMJOON, LET YOUR MAN LIVE!!! Also, Yoongi's never living down the cat claims.

I was reading doolset's marvelous translation of Aliens, and Hobi's rap about 중모리 is referring to the bass drum rhythm in the song that is an actual 중모리 rhythm!! Translation: doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/2026/03/22/a... +

DOOLSET CAME BACK 😭😭😭 For those who don’t know, Doolset is widely regarded as one of the top lyrics translators given how much nuance she provides with cultural context, rhyme scheme explanations, etc. She went on hiatus for Chapter 2, so it’s such a joy to see her return! #bts

Probably rambling and definitely long thread about SWIM, the MV and the overall meaning. I haven’t read much else yet (wanted to get my own take first) but I assume there will be lots of overlap with what other people noticed. I cannot promise I have any unique observations! Lol. Conversely +

Hey Aussie ARMY, was there an insert about BTS in the Australian newspaper today? I heard a rumour but I am not sure if it is true.

Hello we are: BTS... is back! 😱 youtu.be/PKoaxkX4wGw

I’d give him a drawing of a hakea tree showing the flowers and seeds, along with an actual seed. Hakeas are a native Australian plant and their seeds only open after bushfires/trauma. I have always loved the symbolism.💜

Okay I spent like ten minutes repeating just that part and got about 70% of it and then after all that effort suddenly realized I could just go find the Netflix Korea upload with Korean subs 😅 Anyway he says "계속 헤엄쳐 나갈 수 있다고 생각합니다" - "I think we can continue to keep swimming", though actually +

The Arirang tracks and writing credits have been added to this BTS Songwriter and Producer spreadsheet to see who is new and who is back. It started from a copy of the BTS Road Map, grabed to make stats on, then updated with BTS + members tracks. Highlights below. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

a thread of grounding techniques for anyone finding it A Bit Much right now. most are a little unconventional; all are things i've found effective. if you feel like you need to soldier on and be fine, no you don't; if you feel like your struggles don't merit using this kind of approach, yes they do.

This is nice to revisit every now and again. youtu.be/Ds_OQ-j-2mg?...

So I saw Harry Styles songs on 3 lists. And he is releasing his new album around the same time. Collab? Time for clown makeup?

BTS IS BACK… and ready to take over 2026. Nearly four years since BTS went on hiatus for mandatory military service in South Korea, the biggest band in the world is returning with a fifth studio album and a massive global tour gq.visitlink.me/GnvmXK

In case anyone wants a little break, here are a few of my favorite facts that I learned in 2025, in no particular order. Some trees benefit from, and may even encourage, getting struck by lightning because it kills their nearby competitors nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Ok guys I gotta vent.😡(non-BTS related). I am an avid sock knitter, especially when travelling. I have been knitting and flying for years. And today my needles were confiscated by Athens airport security. WTF? What nefarious thing am I going to do with size 2.5 circular needles? Furious. 😡

Several years ago I decided to figure out where the studio version of Arirang by BTS came from. Was it an edit from the kcon performance? Released somewhere? With the help of ARMY lore keepers, we found the answer. + youtu.be/kWvo8-PJcOc?... #bts #BTS_ARIRANG

Ok guys, so, I’m in Seoul right now! And look where I went! (Yes, that’s me.😁) if you have never been there it is right in the centre of Seoul, near Gyeongbukgung palace and large monuments. It is really cool and impressive.🎉

This one is the best.

So. I went to see Funny Girls in Blackpool last night. (For those that don't know, it's a long running drag cabaret show in England.) It was fab! But it got me overthinking (pretentious mind dump klaxon) 1/

“The memories of being comforted through music, and the time shared together, are already reason enough. Whatever song comes out, and however they return, the mere fact that they stand on stage again is meaningful in itself.” 🥺🥺🥺 www.ajunews.com/view/2026010...

Guys, I’m in Tokyo and look what I found. We are back baby.🎉

all i can see is these: 1. a taiji/taegeuk (central to the korean flag), representing yin and yang, perfect duality, order of nature 2. the bagua symbol for heaven (power, assertion, creativity) 3. and the bagua for fire (clarity, passion, creation - next year also starts a 20-year fire cycle)
