“Filter,” Jimin’s solo from Map of the Soul: 7 is about identity and choice. You see what you want to see. His dance is expressed through sharp footwork, fluid movement head to toe. He’s got total command of anyone watching. Jimin drew me into BTS. He is a compelling presence.

J-Hope – MORE (2022)
This song was a jolt of Nirvana-ish rock and grunge that caught everybody off guard. Written by J-Hope with longtime collaborator Supreme Boi, “MORE” was not polished pop and choreography. It’s a jam and another side of J-Hope

The song Scenery (2019), was written by V with RM & Hiss Noise. When he sings “I want to make you mine” with that beautiful fluid emotion, it stirs deepest emotions almost instantly. V sings one line and my heart gives in. I truly adore him.

The Return documentary will premier March 27 on Netflix.

Can Netflix’s servers really handle a global ARMY onslaught and casually interested folks too? 🤔

I just love BTS. They are the ultimate underdog overcomes impossible odds story. The fact that ARMY represents almost every country, race/ethnicity & dozens of languages shows how people can unite to love. protect & support something good. We love BTS. BTS is family. There can be no other.

That just appeared in my post. I didn’t add it. I don’t know why. Thanks for letting me know, though. I can’t edit it out once I post. Thing is, I never wrote it in the first place. Bluesky is confusing with these phantom link placements. Thanks, again.

Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it. It’s getting harder and harder to tell what’s going on and we’re at the beginning of this massive AI influx of distorted images and all out lies.

Thank you. I feel so bad. I do public health and medical research writing for a living and I’m very careful with identifying and cross-verifying evidence-based, peer reviewed data sources before incorporating in my narratives. I didn’t even look at his feet 🥲🥲🥲ARMY peer-reviewed me on this! 😌🤞😁

Hi, following up again. I will give folks time to read my responses to their individual comments, and then I’ll remove the post. I was remiss in verifying this photo. That’s my fault. I write and research for a living, so I should know better. Apologies to all. It will be gone later morn USA/EST.

That magazine link has nothing to do with Jimin. I’m not sure how it showed up in the post. I’m still learning Bluesky. Apologies again…

Have mercy. I am acknowledging all feedback and will make sure I don’t post unverified photos anymore. This was an error of fatigue, not mal intent. My apologies. I will take this down later this morning (USA/EST) after folks see my responses to their comments.

Great observation. It’s hard to know what’s up these days. I hope you can embrace the post in the spirit intended, though. I may update with a new post with a less ‘controversial’ image. No harm intended …core concept remains the same. Thanks fellow ARMY for your inquiry; it shows your dedication.💜

Hi, I just went back to look for it again. I googled it earlier. Looks like it originated with an FB post. One commenter says it was not Jimin. I thought it was Jimin when he danced in High School. Could brbphotoshop How to tell? I searched ‘Jimin dance’ and went to Images
