28 days to go!!
As I'm listening to #DarkAndWild ( 2nd play today) it has to be ... War Of Hormone
A fun video, with Jimin's misbehaving braces, at an age when they probably really were fighting their hormones.... ( Never mind Love Songs!)
27 days to go!!
When I shared yesterday's I knew what was going to be next. I'm mainly trying to pick MV that when I found them, years after they were made, I was so taken I watched them on repeat. This one blew me away.
Danger (Mo-Blue-Mix) ft THANH
26 days to go!! ( Is anyone else joining in?)
I'm staying Dark & Wild, for the journey that is the "What Am I to You?" Teaser/ Trailer - with red flowers 🌹 #WhatIsYourLoveSong and also darkness...
It's no secret I love this song? But it was ages before I found there was a video....
25 days to go!!!
Lengthy Sunday viewing with Butterfly, on stage, prologue
Once again : it's no secret I love this song? ( butterfly)
24 days to go!!!
And I'm doubling up with #kpopmonday and #nonkoreanreleases because this MV was on my list of "binge watching when I discovered it as baby ARMY" and especially now as sun rises in UK...
"Stay Gold" #BTS from Map of the Soul 7: The Journey
23 days to go!!!!
I spent ages looking for the official MV for this, but I see in the comments of this one, that it was deleted.
But I wanted to include it... "Home" Jimmy Fallon show, filmed during that damned pandemic. This was a key video in daughter's 2021 BTS training for Mum ( me) programme, but I didn't really know what was going on. Then fell in love with the song at the 2022 live show at cinemas, by which time I got the chaos factor.
#bangtanaday ( part 2)
I'm not sure I have enough videos for the whole countdown, but there's several things that hark back to that "who are BTS?" Time - which was literally 5 years ago. That's when we were trapped in the third lockdown - January to April 2021 - watching BTS.
"Home" seemed a good choice for today because I had an awful trip home from work ( which should be a short distance)
22 Days til Arirang.... It's so late in the day it's nearly 21... I thought: doing this daily, It's Tricky.....
21 days to go!!! #arirang
A long video, for Festa 2021, but you can just skip to Tata Mic face V. The same guy that said Chapter 2 isn't about taking tops off. Is this guy a liar, or a good actor???
20 days to go... It's 6.30 in UK, and in 3 weeks time ARIRANG should be here, as an actual thing, with photos and stuff.
I'll put the video here, and then chat.
Photos for Butter, so many photos! As Butter came out in May 2021, photos in chilly spring weather - Yes Jimin I'm particularly looking at you (1)

As we found BTS once BE was released, Butter was our first experience of a "K-pop comeback" ( words to learn alongside stan, idol, wrecker etc). From a video of melting butter, poloraid photos, teasers, to getting up incredibly early - daughter got up in time for the pre- release games, I just woke up at 5am for the video.
I guess they wrote Pied Piper about this... But at that stage I don't think I knew PP.

I recall by May I was back at work part-time, it's when my husband & I were job sharing. He had worked during the worst of lockdown while I was doing stuff at home.
But I was at home on Butter release day, and the day was just full of interviews and special performances. In fact these were the things I was scrolling through when I found the photo shoot behind scenes.
I remember we also thought it was funny to theme our meals that day around buttery foods!!

Then after release day, there were more & more videos, performances, behind scenes...
It's when we fully took on the scale of K-pop promotion, which is off the scale...
Except ARIRANG which, has been quite low-key so far?
Not too sure what to expect weekend 20/21/22 March, except we are probably out for a meal with friends to celebrate 60th birthdays....
#kpop #stans #devotion #reallife

@nvrmnd1069 Film Out just appeared out of nowhere? Daughter was very excited by it, and I was still confused about so much Bangtan stuff!
So far Arirang has been secretive, clues dropped here and there?
Talking as a mother, I'm worried they have made a tight deadline to reach a Spring Day, and I do hope the rehearsals/ MV recording/ photo shoots, aren't being too demanding, because they need energy for the live shows... Hopefully they are looking after their own health & wellbeing.
