jhope post on Instagram, a mirror selfie of him sitting sort of cross legged with his phone pointed at the mirror and a smile on his face and jungkook is hovering by his side sort of leaning over him looking at his phone. jungkooki is mostly in black clothes and very huge coat and hobi is wearing a fuzzy grey hoodie and brown corderoy pants

i love them so so so so so so so so so much

aah.... hobi's post came at just the right time, I'm in a weird mood and trying to hype myself up cause I'm meeting a friend later, and when I saw that ot7 pic and then that koobi pic 😭😭😭😭💜💜

130 years later their story is brought to light again by a new generation of 7 Korean men 💜

A1 : 1896년 유학생아리랑 1.2.3 - 노래:이희철. 안정식. 양손(?)(2007년 정창관 CD음반) YouTube video by 정창관의 아리랑1

The original Arirang from 1896!

I hope for the best for both of us 💜

thank you 💜 honestly I just wish I could buy the things myself without worry, I'd love to also gift everyone things and donate to everything I wanna donate - I thought at my age I'd be a little more stable but I suppose life likes to keep us on our toes 💀

right, that's true!!!

I suppose AI is used in everything nowadays, but there is a difference with having a big team of animators and ppl working on it than just letting AI create the whole thing, like for example those google treasure map animations 😵‍💫

im going through a tough time in general in terms of money and I'm trying for it to not affect my happiness about the comeback, but it eats away at me slowly.. (mentally and financially I suppose)

if this had been two years ago I could buy all the things I actually want as I had hoped to be able to do... but so many things came crashing down

quite annoyed (putting it lightly) at the fact that my job was super badly affected this year and last year by external factors I can't control, and I haven't been able to have any sort of financial stability since then, just when bts are coming back...

oh I suppose you're right

I feel it's quite common animation in SK? it reminded me more of that game bts released some years ago about HYYH, bts universe I think it was called

he is SO cute 😭💜

7 boys in an animation clustered around a phonograph, jimin is hugging jungkook from behind, and i think it's taehyung draping over yoongi's back, who is picking up the cylinder music record

Shot from within the phonograph round, 7 boys visible in it, jimin is still on jungkook's back

love how even animated, the artists have to draw them as fritter boys

I'm barely awake so still processing everything but aaaah so exciting 🥹

bts vinyl cover, their names at the top with their seven tattoos behind their names

all of bts’ matching seven tattoos

what if i cry

Before K-Pop there was… the Arirang? The First Korean students at Howard University Korean student singers dazzle the girls of Howard in 1896

The Korean men were “solemn, sedate, and observing” and “were surrounded by a dozen persuasive damsels, who begged them to sing.”

Here is the review article of the original 1896 Washington Post Article: boundarystones.weta.org/2020/02/12/k...

Great Read!

also I'm IN LOVE with the animation they did, love that they're bringing more of the traditional elements and history of arirang, and of course that there was NO AI used 🙏🏻

good morning borasky!! did we just sort of get the concept pics??? through the vinyls

Screenshot of a paragraph that reads: On July 24th, American ethnologist Alice C. Fletcher invited three of the Korean students to her home in Washington, D.C. in order to produce the first recording of a Korean Arirang, or Korean folk song. Fletcher’s work mainly focused on Native American music, so it’s surprising she showed an interest in the Arirang. Her personal notes from the session don’t indicate any explanation for what piqued her interest or even what she thought of the recordings. But they do give some insight into what the songs were about.

I somehow missed this detail til now... a woman engineered the first recording of Arirang 🥹🥰

woohoooo congrats!!

I joined quite a bit later when there was already a community here so I'm grateful for the work you did in the beginning 😌 most of my army friends also didn't move here but I found great new ppl here!

same, I'm really glad to have found that part of the community I missed 💜

like just let it die my guys, if I was able to do it others are too

I really don't get why ppl keep using twt... I was there all day using the app until I realised it wasn't what it used to be and brought only anger and frustration, all replies were bots burying all the replies by actual ppl and all the features that it used to have were no more. I didn't look back🤷🏻‍♀️

right!! I think we change the hour the weekend after comeback

from what I saw it should be 5am at least in spain 🤔

I ended up posting ch. 14 as a sort of little taste before the big reveal, I hope the cliffhangers aren't becoming too much 😶‍🌫️
