Am I the only one who got teary eyed st the animated trailer? It feels surreal to say, but among many AI generated slop things, this was hopeful, for me. It's the Tannies telling us: hey art is not dead, if we continue to give it life.
ARMY! We left some surprises for you in the 'Proof' album lyrics on @/AppleMusic. Can you find them? 👀

As a historian, it really makes my heart sing when BTS are inspired by Korean history in general as well as by their own personal history 🥹
![Today, the K-Pop phenomenon has taken the world by storm; but it seems that American fascination with Korean music goes all the way back to the late 1800s, 1896 to be exact. Long before bands like BTS sold out stadiums, there were seven Korean (then called Chosun) students whose singing captured the attention of “dozens of damsels” at Howard University.[1]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:llv2jjapmo6dricaigt525gt/bafkreigwkprngehaur5v2tcq6cxyij7cqczxx33nf3aboh2iwas6pf4loy)
![But how did Koreans end up at Howard? That’s quite a story in its own right. According to newspaper records, Im Byung Goo (19), Lee Bum Su (24), Kim Hun Sik (27), Ahn Jung Sik (23), Eyo Byung Hyun (26), and an unnamed student stole 400 won from a Korean bank in spring of 1896 and fled to Vancouver.[2] Having spent all their stolen money travelling, they found themselves in a web of their own making. Their lack of knowledge of English certainly didn’t help the situation either. In a panic, the runaways visited the Japanese Consulate and asked them to telegraph Suh Kwang Bum, the Korean Envoy and Minister Plenipotentiary to the U.S.[2] Lucky for the runaways, Suh likely empathized with their story. He himself, in a sense, also once fled to the States out of necessity.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:llv2jjapmo6dricaigt525gt/bafkreibo7kzl5riszky5zinpbifyqfnv2ndrzz2nu5e6w3q2aqseup3a7e)
Wildest shit discovering the first recording of a Korean Arirang was made by SEVEN Koreans 😃

On the left are the varieties of the Mugunghwa, a hibiscus, the official flower of Korea.
It's also called the Rose of Sharon and it grows outside Gyeongbokgung. Its flower meaning is "eternal blossom that never fades"
On the right, Arirang album vinyl colours
I find it so significant that BTS have never made their faces or likeness the focus of their group album covers. It was always a very conceptual graphic design that placed the focus on the music rather than themselves. But this moment right now—it’s about them as artists. It’s perfect.
Hey @dieworkwear.bsky.social, the people of borasky want your thoughts on the new BTS Arirang promo photo. please?
Yeah I'm about to be an absolute menace this comeback 🫠
Y'all either LOCK IN or stay out the MF WAY!!!

🧵: arirang and the red string of destiny, and love
in the animation, when the boys put on the arirang record and it starts to play, the music takes on the form of red swirls that form the bts 'arirang' logo and take them back to the past, when their forebears introduced this song to the west
PTD Live became available around 2pm KST, and HYYH 1 became available around 7pm KST. So maybe between those times.

13 March - Face Yourself
Stream the album of the day top to bottom, two to ten times. The day resets at 9am KST.
BCD supports this project by increasing the draw rate of the 7% PC of the album of the day.
Tbh, I don't have much attachment to the BU, maybe because I wasn't there when it was released. I can imagine the excitement at the time, as each peace of the story unfolded.
But for me, it's simply a small piece in their vast discography and lore.
If you recall, most of their SoundCloud solo songs were released for digital purchase and streaming ahead of the release each member's respective debut solo album, including the legendary "Super Tuna" that blocked TS from #1 in a world chart.
But "RM" has never been officially released.
"Hope World" was the first solo work released directly for digital purchase and streaming. It charted #38 on BB 200. In the Puppy Interview, they mentioned briefly the commercial success of the album. +
"RM" and "Agust D" were originally released only on Soundcloud and MVs on YT.
"Agust D" was released for digital purchase and streaming in Feb 2018 without the first two tracks, which were later released in 2023 ahead of "D-Day" after receiving clearance for the James Brown sample. +
