My first two thoughts:
1) Extremely cool that they saw the WaPo article about the first recording of Arirang made at Howard by seven Korean students!
2) ARE THE LAST 15 SECONDS A SONG TEASER???? IT SOUNDS INCREDIBLE!!!

The main thing I noticed was them performing Not Today in *2013*

they really know how to give us just the tiniest glimpse just as we start to reach the end of our patience and sanity

Theorist armys were right about this omg

Omg!! I saw so many ARMY theorizing about this group of 7 Korean men recording Arirang when the name of the album was released, and it’s now part of their promotions??? They’ve seriously thought of everything!!!
I’m actually going insane right now thinking of all the parallels and how they’re drawing the lines between the stories of these men and BTS so explicitly!
I’m so curious about the live show coming up and how they’ll pull together the past and the present, the local and global, in their performance!! I cannot wait!!!
I’m loving the crumb of a new tune at this part!! I CANNOT WAITTT

Being from the DC area, it was so fun to learn about the WETA article (revisited recently by WaPO) and the ties between DC, HBCUs, and this significant part of Korean culture!
^(will revisit when I’ve listened to the video)

ok that concept is sickkk!!! also the beat at the end?? genuinely hope its SWIM because even the tiny crumb sounds SO good. I can’t wait for more😭
*reading the description, emotional before even watching the video* It’s the thing!!! It’s the history thing!!! 😭😭😭 Shoutout to everyone who picked up on that WAY in advance and spread the info, omg!
Also that was *not* what was happening in 2013, but sure, okay I guess. 😂
aaaaaaAAAAAA and the silhouettes at the end, so exciting!!! Can’t wait! 👀🍿
How is the ending beat so catchy that it’s already stuck in my head when it’s only like 2 seconds long 😂

I CANT BELIEVE THE THEORIES WERE RIGHT!! 😭🙌
Also just the message “when the world feels heavy, when your heart feels light, what is your love song?” just feels very BTS

I love that the theory of the 7 Korean students actually turned out to be true 💜 I also love how inspired by history they are with this album, with only one week left( omg!!!) I am getting more and more giddy to hear the album 💜

Hats off to the person who came up with the Howard University 7 Arirang theory, because you were RIGHT!!! DAMN!!!!
Butt tingles.
Honestly ARMY is so smart coz they figured out this whole concept months ago just from literally crumbs and dust. Can’t wait!

GUESS WHO CAUGHT IT IN 7 MINS?! 💜 Also, the animation is HOLLY MOLLY- THE THEORY WAS RYT, LETS GOO
(the ending felt very pop r&b-ish, maybe it’s a song teaser for SWIM?)
