taking a moment to appreciate how it was an HBCU that took in those 7 Korean men when the white universities wouldnโt
Like almost all of the promo bits we've gotten has been directly tied to army detective work. It's not all guerilla marketing, but some of it has been, like the love song billboards and the roses, which were truly not shared ahead of time from any official source. And all of it relies on army โ๏ธ #bts
Meme of a guy labeled ARMY pointing at a butterfly labeled bts release something and asking "is this hyyh?"
Don't ask me how far back in my meme folder I had to scroll to find this one.
To those who may not know, @howard.edu is an HBCU (Historically Black College/University) that played a crucial role in the wider story of Arirang. This vital connection between East and West is so important, and has led to such a beautiful moment in life.
In Korean mythology, the Big Dipper is known as Bukdu Chilseong (๋ถ๋์น ์ฑ, "Seven Stars of the Northern Sky") and holds a central place in traditional cosmology as a powerful deity controlling human fate, longevity, fortune, and disasters. (From KBS world)

Happy Friday.๐ค
#Arirang , the stunning collision of love, history, culture and music.๐ซ
#BTS โค๏ธ๐ค๐
See posts bellow bc of characters limitation
BigHit press release
"With this, BTS declares their identity with clarity and power: born in Korea, playing for the world"
Also Jimin art, like people be so creative and amazing
And it begins... Again ARMY dropping BTS requests in the most niche but coolest corners ever
Ms Rachel has shifted from advocating for children killed by bombs that our taxes pay for, to advocating for children that our government is imprisoning without cause, which our taxes also pay for.
This isnโt what a kidโs entertainer should feel the need to do, but since weโre here, more ppl should.
if you can't accept them at their blurriest 144p, you don't deserve them at their 4k UHD
@/BtsBorahoe7 "Upon entering the pop-up, visitors are greeted by a large sculpture visualizing the album title 'Arirang' and the Big Dipper engraved on the floor" SHUT THE FUCK UP THE BIG DIPPER AKA THE CONSTELLATION ALA THE PLACEMENT OF THEIR TATTOOS ON THEIR BODY IM GONNA KILL MYSELF 7:19 13 Mar 26
Tweet shows a outline of a human figure with the sevens 7 tattoos from BTS next to a diagram of the Big Dipper. The two diagrams match pretty closely. Text reads @/parqueer SO THE BIG DIPPER THEORY OF THEIR TATTOO PLACEMENT WAS ALSO TRUE!?
So my ARMY friend on twt just shared these two posts with me and now I'm crying into my coffee again. #BTS
Jungkook's little "mhm" ๐ญ I don't care what he says, he is CUTE cute.
Jimin's shirt isn't shirting very well. ๐
sooooo when jk was saying letโs all put suits on during the new year live it was a big fucking spoiler ๐ญ
Arirang vinyl shows all bts members in a black and white photo with a red vinyl
I need this full image in HD ๐ญ๐ญ
They styled them into suits like the 7 men who recorded Arirang would have worn. I am actually going to sob. I love them so much. ๐ญ๐ญ
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 nowโitโs about them as artists. Itโs perfect.
It feels like it could totalllyyyy tie into the bu!
also Jungkook's labret piercing made it to the album cover photo๐ญ๐ญ
*oh*
Why am I crying
Also I love that the story of the seven men who recorded Arirang was something army spread and shared immediately after knowing the name of the album. Ahhhh
I'm sorry, but tying BTS's own historical rise to fame to the original recording of arirang by seven Korean men who traveled an ocean to do so!!!??? I'M GAGGED! I'M GAGGING!
Not to be like โbighit planning out BTSโs career in 1776โ meme but the fact that the first recording of the song arirang was by *seven guys*
![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 โdozens of damselsโ at Howard University.[1]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:llv2jjapmo6dricaigt525gt/bafkreigwkprngehaur5v2tcq6cxyij7cqczxx33nf3aboh2iwas6pf4loy)

![But how did Koreans end up at Howard? Thatโs 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 didnโt 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)

seokjin finishing his solo tour in november and going back on tour 5 months later is insane if you think about it
you can see the archival wax cylinders in the animation ๐ญ just realized that this is what the little pinky red discs we've been seeing recently are - the covers of the cylinders - and they overlap with the logo as well ๐ญ
