[BTS] BTS with all 7 members was pretty much BTS [Restart]

The first week of July was just too intense.

I have so much to say that no matter how many times I tweet, it's not enough, so I've gathered everything into one place. It's a rather messy article, but I'll deliver my restless feelings in real-time!

BTS is back.

Did you all watch the 7/1 full-group live broadcast that sent the world into a frenzy? I saw the seven of them moving together in this world for the first time!

Hoseok and Jin, who have completely returned to their hyung faces, Namjoon, who can't stop talking once he starts discussing his beloved Hobi and Jin-kun's stage, and Jimin-chan, who occasionally provides commentary for ARMYs when Bangtan starts getting obsessed with Bangtan—everyone was truly adorable.

The chaotic situation where all seven were talking over each other caused the interpreter to stop multiple times, and it was deeply moving to see the unspoken pressure—no, support—sent from all the Japanese ARMYs, saying 'Fighting...!!'

After that, the Japanese subtitles didn't come for a while, and I was getting anxious. I'm the type who would crawl out of my coffin if someone told me 'Japanese subtitles are up,' even if I were dead. I kept checking to see if they were there yet, and every time, I would point and confirm V pulling Jimin-chan, who said 'I had a mental breakdown,' into a hug. It was too much of a reward.

Korean and Chinese were added first, then English, Spanish, and Thai, and when I thought Japanese was next, Indonesian and Vietnamese appeared, so I stood up involuntarily lol. Why can't we use the digital membership's automatic subtitles while waiting? I wish there were some better perks...!

You haven't forgotten about us, have you!?

The unspoken (and slightly leaked) screams of Japanese ARMYs were heard on 7/8. It was a long week...!!

Finally, the Japanese subtitles descended (thank you, God).

I flew to Weverse immediately. I repeated it over and over, and recorded a mountain of incidents in my mental casebook, such as: 'The incident where Yoongi told Jimin-chan twice to look only at him while talking,' 'The incident where Yoongi got curious about Jimin-chan's earring hole and reached out to touch his ear,' and 'The incident where Yoongi played the guitar to Jimin-chan's singing at 3 AM.' Sorry for the sudden triple strike of Yoonmin. I love it (´- `*)

I was impressed by V, who said he hadn't listened to the first half of the meeting, yet went ahead and spoiled everything anyway. Plus, he even made it the punchline at the end lol. I've been nothing but strangely impressed since earlier, but please just listen. I'm sure you'll just be dumbfounded even if you do listen, sorry.

What's amazing is that he spoiled things with full force, saying 'Next spring!' and 'Did I say I was going to America?', shaking up the guardians, Minimoni, and yet he didn't show any follow-up like 'Oh sorry, I misunderstood' or any agitation from his mistake. He is extremely confident. It's like he has the strength of a mochi-like baby who understands that 'if I go

Since Bangtan enlisted at a relatively older age (most ordinary people enlist as college students), I think they tended to be the hyungs in the military regardless of their military rank. I think one of the reasons V said he listened to his military comrades' dreams and supported them is because they were at an age where people around them are worried about their career paths.

In that kind of life, it wouldn't be strange if elements like learning how to behave as an older person or having the softness stripped away during harsh training emerged... but V is amazing for not showing that at all, and instead showing an unwavering core that says, 'I am the maknae now. Being cute is my job!'

I caught a glimpse of the sense of security that comes from returning to the established relationship of 'Bangtan' and fully enjoying his usual position, and I was impressed by V for being able to do that and by Bangtan for letting him. Cute. ...I'm a bit too excited right now and I don't even know what I'm saying, but are you okay, ARMY-yorobun?

1. Checking each other's abs

2. Jungkook checking the hyung's abs, and V watching the maknae's reaction

3. The two of them exchanging a satisfied handshake after getting the teacher's approval

...It's so refreshing, isn't it!!

I thought I had learned that 'Bangtan's skinship is too intense for Japanese people,' but even though they've all gotten older and there should be a sense of physical distance after being apart for a while, they were just naturally pinching chins, hugging shoulders, and touching stomachs. I was impressed all over again by how high-level they are.

The fact that Namjoon was hugging Yoongi's shoulders so much also felt like a large dog surrounding a cat, which was very nice. It touched my heartstrings, which had been feeling a bit nervous. No matter what happens to Yoongi, this leader won't let go of him.

Jimin-chan sitting in the middle of this chaos, saying 'It's just happiness to be together,' was so precious that I almost cried. So cute...!

Namjoon was so Namjoon-like

On 7/6, Namjoon left the country in an emergency while feeling anxious, saying,"I was supposed to go with the other members, but for some reason, I ended up going alone."

The reporter who said 'Give us a heart, ARMY!' here is a goddess. Thank you, I was so excited!!

There was a period where Namjoon gave off the vibe of 'I'm already used to hearts and finger kisses!' which made me feel impatient.
Seeing him struggle with his self-consciousness, saying 'I'm over 30 and I've already been to the military...!', I felt that his level had returned to what it was during his break from idol work. That's great!

I am very sorry to the suffering Namjoon, but I thanked him from the bottom of my heart that my beloved shy Namjoon hadn't been lost! I'm sorry, but I don't want you to get used to it for a while. Thank you!

Army Noona, we have a situation

Namjoon left for LA alone, feeling anxious. Putting aside his daily living skills, he has the language and musical skills, so I thought it made sense for him to go to the US first to build a base, and then, sure enough, a live stream came on 7/7. I'm so happy!

It was a bit short, but I was excited to open it, thinking it was a message saying he arrived safely, like a Tanabata wish, but then this happened right away.

And then this.

Choose my opinion at this moment from the following (Points: 7).

1. Thank goodness it wasn't his passport that got waterlogged

2. It's so cute that he came to see us on a live stream without even worrying about his phone being waterlogged 💜

3. Oh no, he's going to finish it off ( ﾟДﾟ) Don't use the hair dryer

4. Namjoon is so Namjoon that I don't know what to do

Yoongi and Gukmin left the country at almost the same time, but there's no way to see it as anything other than "The rescue team is deployed!" The timing is just too perfect lol

All the hearts in the world belong to me

This weekend, Jin-kun was in Makuhari and Hobi was at PSY-sunbae's summer festival, harvesting hearts left and right. Is this a dragnet fishing operation?

After this, Jin-kun will head off again for his solo tour starting from Kyocera, and Hobi will head to Berlin for Lollapalooza. Bow down, world, before the two great pillars of happiness and hope that Bangtan boasts!!

By the way, around the same time, Tae was at a fashion show in Paris, having a conversation with the empress Anna Wintour where she said, "Come to my show," and he replied, "Wow, that sounds great (・∀・)," which totally freaked me out.
Amazing, he turned that "VOGUE" editor-in-chief, the steel-willed powerhouse who was the model for the movie "The Devil Wears Prada," into Anna-noona!!

By the way, I love the range V shows—from maintaining that inverted triangle physique and slimming down to 66.8kg to show off otherworldly beauty, to the point of playing dead in the bathtub for us to see ( ;∀;)

After the fashion show, it seems V is also heading from Paris to LA.
It looks like they're all gathering in LA for a two-month song camp to work on music. He can also tag along for Jin's tour, which sounds fun!

I thought maybe Hobi recommended this schedule to the members. Perhaps his experience staying in America before his tour was really good.
Bangtan also needs time to remember the feeling of working together and touring, and with Yoongi's situation, staying in America for a while seems like a good choice.

I'm really looking forward to the new album, including whether Hobi will teach Namjoon how to be sexy (´- `*)

If I had one worry

However, one concern remains.
I am fully aware that Bangtan are all grown men who have finished their military service, but... if you divide these seven into Law and Chaos, isn't it like this?

Law (Order): 🐹🐱🐿️
Chaos: 🐨🐥🐻🐰

Yes, the younger members of Bangtan are pretty much cuties. Wait, no. Uh, freedom babies? The leader is on the border.
And two of the members who govern order are currently doing solo activities.
That means all the chaos created by the cuties is about to fall on Suga-hyung's shoulders! Yoongi-yah, fighting!!

No matter how I imagine it, I can only think of Bon Voyage & In the SOOP without Jin and Hobi. Will they be okay? I want them to leave a fixed camera there, even just for a little bit. Just for a little bit...!!

For now, please take care of Namjoon's smartphone. And please have the manager-hyung keep his passport. Just in case!

The greatness of "Bangtan is Bangtan"

This is purely my imagination, but I think military service is an experience that changes a person's life.
In Korea, it seems to play a role as a social rite of passage, and it feels like it clearly separates "boy" from "man" there.
That's why I couldn't imagine what they would be like when they returned.

However, actually seeing BTS in the flesh like this, the "Bangtan" dynamic that I've watched endlessly in videos is unfolding right before my eyes, and I can't stop being impressed. It's amazing. Bangtan really is Bangtan!!

I don't think it was without its hardships; in fact, I think it was the opposite.
Not only Jungkook, who confided that his self-esteem had dropped, and Namjoon, who spoke about his struggles in a live stream right after his discharge, I'm sure the other members also went through various experiences.

I truly love their resilient egos that remain unchanged even after overcoming all that, and the miracle-like depth of their bond that makes me feel, "Ah, this is Bangtan." I had caught glimpses of it in the Hoseok-Jin content and FESTA, but seeing all seven of them together moved me all over again.
I'm happy to have met Bangtan and to be able to watch their restart like this. I'm glad I made it in time!! ( *´艸｀)

—Anyway, I'm looking forward to next spring, but before that, Jin's "#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR in Kyocera" is right around the corner. I'm incredibly restless ( ;∀;)
This summer is going to be intense. Let's build up our stamina and do our best, ARMY everyone!
