This is my thread of threads to keep track of how much I miss each member of BTS as they head out. Please enjoy these sweet little edits that remind me how wonderful they are and always will be 💜
Soooo I’ve been sitting on this for ages…the music playing in this scene was cleared & placed by me and my team! It’s a huge honor & personal career highlight to get to do this for a project & person I have such high respect for 💜 ilysm Hobi the scene came out beautifully 💜
A little BigHit album insight from someone who works in distribution: These solo albums? They’re 100% managed and directed by the artists themselves. That means all decisions had to go through the artist to move forward. That means j-hope decided exactly how to share his album.
It means j-hope had the final say in whether or not we’d have a physical CD, or any packaging whatsoever. This was 100% his choice, and he knows what’s best for his vision. Trust that, he’s worked way too hard for us not to.
It’s been a stipulation within the BigHit system from day one that if the artist wants to release side work (mixtapes, solos, collabs, etc) they must be in charge of that, and BH will support with resources. What does that mean for Jack in the Box?
I know we’d love to hold these albums in our hands, but what could possibly be better than getting to hear the music they’ve been wanting to share with us so badly? BIG PICTURE GUYS! This is EPIC stuff!
TO BE CLEAR: this is all knowledge I gained through my friends/connections working in the music industry! I hope you guys have an amazing time with Hobi’s solo debut regardless of any circumstances because I know I will!!
Can we talk about how powerful these lines are:
You gave me the best of me
So you’ll give you the best of you
You found me You recognized me
You gave me the best of me
So you’ll give you the best of you
You’ll find the galaxy inside you
So show me (I’ll show you)
20+ ARMY FOLLOW PARTY
Oooh I love these 🥳🥳🥳
I’m Emily, I’m 27 today & from the US! I’ve been army almost a year now and I’m OT7 with a little soft spot for Suga, Jin & j-hope with a sprinkle of Jimin 💜
I’ve met some amazing folks here and can’t wait to meet more 💜
Anyone not excited right now is dead wrong. This album is a milestone. It’s 10 years of blood, sweat, tears, hustling, sacrifices, joy, success, and love. It’s precious, it’s important, and it’s for us. It’s Proof.
Maybe this is a hot take but it's STILL WEIRD that y'all are finding Jungkook's brother on insta and reposting pics of JK. Just because he left insta does not give anyone the right to go hunting for him nor the right to repost photos of him on his private time.
Please be aware that this is purely an attempt to further segregate non-Western genres and artists from the main stage event. I saw this coming. They did it to Latin music.
"Introducing The K-Billboard Awards highlighting the dazzling achievements of Kpop artists based on the Billboard charts.
The event will be streamed live on the K Culture Festival YouTube channel on October 28 at 8pm KST/7am EST"
THIS is extremely true. I was on the floor for D1 LA (and I for sure blacked out when it happened) but he really did make the biggest effort ever to engage with and make eye contact with every single person he possibly could. A GEM OF A HUMAN. OUR FOREVER ARTIST.
one thing that will be forever engraved in my heart from yoongi’s tour is that he tries his best to look at each and every army’s face while we’re singing during his shows.. just like this. he adores us as much as we adore him. our bond is purely unbreakable.
I’d like to drop some quick facts for you all here, considering these 11 legends met up at the beautiful, historic Apollo Theater in Harlem! (See thread)
20+ ARMY FOLLOW PARTY 🎉
These are always a blast! I’m Emily, 27 & in California ✌🏻 I’m OT7 (Jin, Hobi & Yoongi are my soft spots though) & army since September 2020! I tweet a lot about music & music business, and also I love having heart to hearts with anyone who needs one 💜
I think sometimes Jungkook forgets these listening parties are professional engagements for his job and not just silly little phone calls with army and I cherish him for these moments
The queue was messed up but I’m so excited to let you guys know I secured my seats for 12/1 💜😭🎉 whenever I stop crying I’ll let you know but I cannot believe this
One thing I love about Jimin is that he’s often a bit of a background genius when it comes to harmonies, melodies, and hooks. He’s got a really fantastic ear for chord structure, which makes this collab and everything he has coming exciting to think about! YOU GO JIMIN 👏🏻
Hi! If you’re still confused or curious about LA, please consider me your friend on the inside (as in, I live here and know things)! I’m more than happy to share any advice, give directions, or just be someone to talk to for anyone traveling with anxiety 💜 SEE YOU ALL SOON!
My love for BTS will never be less valid because I found them in Sept 2020. They changed my entire life. They brought me out of the lowest & most dangerous depression I’d ever experienced. They taught me to love others and myself with so much more kindness. Babies, we’re valid.
I think it’s a good time to start dropping the Jin tiktok edits I’ve saved over the years out of sheer delulu & love for this man let’s start with a doozy
Posting selfies has always been super scary for me, but I got a haircut last night and I’m so happy with it! I’m trying to do better and you’ve all been such beautiful kind souls, so thank you for being with me on this journey!
It’s my very first ARMY Birthday 🥳💜 since it’s true that they find you when you need them the most, here’s a deeply personal and grateful thread of my journey through my first year with
@BTS_twt
I’m just gonna say this now - it doesn’t matter to me who’s featured or who’s listening to it, I won’t support artists like K*nye or Chr*s Br*wn. Separating the art from the artist isn’t always possible or fair given the pain these people have caused for others.
BTS as Hozier Songs : a thread by me, an ARMY & Hozier fan who is going completely on vibes and personal opinions. I’ve given each member two songs with my evidence in fan chant order. Let’s get into it!
I feel like I should clarify I/we did not have work directly with Hobi lol but working on something FOR him even our small contribution was like…so very much enough to feel proud of. I’d do anything for the boys!!!
@runlachimolala
All props to Hobi/HYBE team (suuuch kind people) for the song choice they POPPED OFFFF! No clue how they knew the song or anything like that but the label folks were super easy and down for it. It came together super fast and I had a great time working on it!
Hot take, but I think we need to be showing more empathy toward new armys who may start as solos. Take things case by case, but we had the privilege of 24/7 OT7 content, they don't. All roads eventually lead to bangtan, but I don't think we need to be canceling weeks-old armys.
As we approach another awards night, I want to remind you all that putting other artists down in the name of your fave is in really poor taste. Celebrate music and the work these artists and their teams have put in, have a good time, and party safely!
This is a great little law thread! Also a reminder - territory MATTERS. When clearing songs it’s likely they worked with domestic partners. So clearance could be slightly varied depending on where productions originate and the copyright standards of that area.
#TheMoreYouKnow
y'all realize you physically cannot copy a month old concept right? like...it takes months just to plan things out no one's plagiarizing anyone on purpose
HEY TO MY 900+ FRIENDS?! To get a bit personal, I’ve had a long journey to finding belonging in the spaces I orbit, but this has been the most empowering and loving community. I count myself so lucky to be among you. Thanks for joining my galaxy, you’re always welcome here 💜
For anyone new here, I’m Emily and I’m almost at my 1 year army-versary 🥰💜 I’m 27 in LA and I talk about music a lot! I’m proud of you even if we’re strangers and I’m so happy you’ve stopped by. Feel free to say hello anytime - you are welcome and loved here!
To add to the valid chorus of BE praise, this album means a lot to BTS and ARMY. It was my first comeback & physical album, and I can't imagine a more important era to come in with. It's a deeply human, handmade, and honest album that deserves the world. Thank you BE.
When BTS comes back can we try to convince them that a B-sides tour would be so fun and they can sing like LTB and Paradise and Hold Me Tight and Dis-ease and Autumn Leaves and and and and
Can we talk once again about how beautifully written this article is? And how it captures their spirit so well it feels like you’re in the room with them? And how the writer just gets it and gets the experience and emotions and gets them too?
Bright colors, signature poses and BTS concerts, lots in common right?
(Fun fact: Yoongi posted this photo on my birthday last year ✌🏻)

I’m feeling particularly musical today and thought this could be a fun project: I’d like to offer to make you a playlist based on your profile! If you want one, like or comment below and I’ll check you out & send you tunes I think match your vibe 💜
Here’s to 27 years! Thank you all so much for the love & fun today, I’m so amazed and thankful 💜 This past year has been one of the the most difficult I’ve had, but I’m forever grateful for our ARMY and all the lessons I’ve learned through BTS 💜 Love to you all!!
Drop a 💜 if you’re like me & BTS: vaccinated (or planning to be) ✨💜
ALSO: if you need or have resources for your country’s vaccine information share them!
ARMY looks hotter vaxxed!
#ARMYvaccinatedtoo
Happy birthday to us, ARMY 💜 I’ll never forget dancing and screaming and crying and singing with you and feeling the safest I’ve ever felt, on and offline 💜 a band brought us together, but we’ll be with each other for the rest of our lives 💜
I’m always curious what my face looks like when I watch bangtan content for the first time so I filmed myself tonight to watch Jimin. Here are the highlights 💀
There's this really intense sense of FOMO that goes around our spaces sometimes. I've seen folks feel left out and left behind because they didn't tune into something right as it happened, even if it was at an ungodly hour for them. +
While you’re here & this is garnering some unexpected attention - putting some shine where it counts & hope you guys can really dig in and appreciate the efforts of our community to make the world a better place
@Amna_Rkive
It’s the artist’s job to decide how they want their releases to go - so he was given every option. It’s really on him if it doesn’t go to plan, but I for one think it’s gonna be amazing either way. I truly can’t wait to hear what he has coming!
BH marketing every time joon gets too excited about his album and posts something about indigo that’s probably in a whole release plan to be announced later
Using a film score sample for the Astronaut from Arrival, a film about connection despite a language/culture barrier for a song by artists who don’t speak the same language and have built a friendship anyway & who connect with their fans through music as a language…wow.
Hey you guys know that little "oh" melody line that Chris Martin sings in the background/instrumental breaks? Yeah, there are 7 notes to that melody line. Seven. SEVEN. Count them. 7!!!!!!
Just finished 1/3 of my concerts with the LA Phil!!! During the applause tonight at the end the composer came out to take his bow…and that composer was John Williams. JOHN WILLIAMS. John Williams waved hi to my choir and heard me sing tonight. This is…unreal.
If I see any person complain about Jimin’s release it’s an immediate block. After the JITB nonsense I have zero tolerance for people trying to speak over the boys’ choices with their own preferences.
I never posted it but I was really comfy and happy with my outfit since I had to be in the office on Yoongi day and I don’t currently have any Yoongi clothes to wear!!
Friendly reminder that if I see any of you showing up at the airport in LA when the time comes, I am local and I will be sure to visit you in person for a mom friend lecture and a grounding and deleting all your creepy photos. Be a good person ilysm 💜
PERMISSION TO PARTY: LA MEETUPS
Hey ARMY friends! I'm so excited to announce: LA ARMY MEETUPS! We couldn't let you all get here without saying hello now, could we? Details are posted in the images and thread below! Feel free to spread far & wide - the more the merrier 🧡💜💛
I understand what lens he's speaking through, but I wish he could see his work the way we see it. Sure, creating music isn't curing cancer or solving world hunger. It's not "functional" per his definition. But his work *is* saving lives. I hope he knows that someday.
Never disagreed with him before but I have to today. The world would split in half if he died tonight. I hope someone tells him that soon, because denying his own level of influence and impact doesn’t serve anyone. I love him but someone needs to tell him that.
Two things!
1. Members will never ever overlap releases. The shortest distance would be within a week but never at the same time.
2. Routine updates are a thing lol…CERTAIN MEMBERS have been busy on their own even before this solo venture.
Save your energy, you’ll need it!
LET 👏🏻 MEGAN 👏🏻 RELEASE 👏🏻 THE REMIX. There is literally zero downside to releasing the track. Megan is an amazing artist and I hope she gets the support she deserves. I support her 100% as ARMY & as a consumer.
Now that it’s officially official, make sure you check out Bridgerton S2! My team and I placed a beautiful cover of Wrecking Ball in episode 8, performed by the Midnite String Quartet 💜 I love my job so much and that I get to share it with you now too!
