Whenever BTS tours, I make a commemorative enamel pin.
I want to give away two of those pins, as well as some new Arirang themed stickers I made (based on songs).
Enamel pin details: hard, glossy enamel, approx. 1.25" diameter, white shimmery field, their old Bulletproof Vest logo in black adapted with the red Arirang logo. Red text to commemorate the world tour.
A video of the pin can be viewed on the sister sub Heungtan.
Sticker details: three stickers, each depicting a song from the Arirang album. Swim ("the moon and the sharks"), Like Animals ("untameable), and Into The Sun ("I'll follow you into the sun"). All stickers have subtle shimmer (the lettering in Swim, the heart in Like Animals, and a colorful but subtle background shimmer for the Into The Sun one). These are small stickers, ranging from 1.25" to 2" at most.

Awww they’re beautiful!
I think what has struck me the most is them enjoying themselves. Running around on stage, interacting with the fans. Less focused on choreography and more focused on the interactions. Its fun to see the fan cams of the different parts of the stage. Also, it healed part of my soul seeing yoongi smiling so much! 🥰🥰🥰
They are so happy to be performing in front of Army again. 💜 it’s not something they can fake.
The sheer impact they have on a city when there for a concert. I know there was a bit of worry Army didn’t stick around during the required break but seeing the seats full at the concerts and how happy and engaged the members and fans are heals the soul.
Omg! How sweet of you!! I went to the concerts this past week in Tampa and had so much fun. My first BTS shows and the wait was worth it!! The thing that has struck me most is their authenticity. I feel like the shows they went on to promote and such have been authentic to them individually. I also appreciate their bond. They could have said we want to go solo or even take their time with waiting longer to comeback but their bond and commitment to the other members and army has been so awesome to see.
They seem a lot freer this time around. They came in like, We’re back! We are who we are and this is our music, take it or leave it! I think that’s taken a lot of weight off their shoulders and has allowed them to just enjoy the journey as they go (or at least I hope). I think this is the maturity they’ve been referring to throughout this comeback.
Thanks for this giveaway! What’s struck me the most so far is how the 7 of them really grew their own identities during their time apart, but came together stronger than before. I think their styling is indicative of that – each have their own style but they look cohesive together. ARIRANG reflects their solo music styles too. It’s definitely a choice to come back after you’ve left the figurative nest. I’m impressed and thankful for their commitment to each other and ARMY.
These are awesome! What’s struck me the most has been that every single one of them is being their best selves. Hobi’s just hot AF, Yoongi smiles more than anyone thought possible, JK and Tae are having all the fun, Jimin seems to have really grown into how awesome he is, Jin belts it out like the WWH superstar he is, and RM manages to light up the stage even when he’s confined to sitting on a stool.
Basically what I’m saying is, I used to have a bias or two, and I really don’t think I do any more ❤️
I am struck by the fact how addictive the album is. I tend to pick up songs and replay to death, but this time it feels only normal to listen the album in its order and all at once if possible.
Also very very good to see BTS together and in good spirits!
Great designs as usual:)
These look great!
I love how happy they are on stage. They look like they’re just having the best time vibing to the songs. Also, all their outfits are amazing and I’m not sure if I’ll survive seeing them when I go to my concert 😅
What struck me is how focused on the longevity of the group they are in comments and interviews. I love how they speak about each other and performing together.
Edit: spelling
What struck me the most about this comeback era isn’t only how much they’ve grown as individual artists but also how group-centered their comeback album is. I cannot confirm for sure if it is, but it sounded like this album had some of the most balanced and equal distribution to date. It was really evident when their CD albums included every member’s photocard instead of a randomized 1 out of 8 photocard. Usually most kpop albums include 1 card, including BTS’s previous albums. I’m happy for how far they’ve come, underrated members like RM, J-hope and Jin are now highly respected by the world. Seeing them each get the recognition they deserve makes me proud as a fan since 2015. 🥹💜
What a cool tradition!
This is my first OT7 comeback, but what has struck me the most is how relaxed it all feels in comparison to the past. I think they designed and planned everything so smartly with an eye to balance and rest, and everything is better for it, most importantly the members. They just look like they are having so much fun both onstage and off, I hope it stays that way for the whole tour! 💜
I don’t know if this counts, but what I’ve noticed is how comfy the guys are on stage. Playing with ARMY and just enjoying themselves. I feel like there was so much riding on this comeback and they’ve handled it with such ease and joy. I can’t wait for my tour stop (Vegas Baby!)
Thanks for doing the giveaway! You’re awesome!!!
these are so cute!
one thing i’ve been thinking of lately is how chill the new run bts is… no format, no list of games they’ve got to go through. i’ve been really enjoying them just talking to each other, they’re so funny! the second episode really cemented that i’m just as entertained by, and would love to watch them eat and yap together for hours.
These look amazing 💜
For me, it has to be the energy they’re bringing – of course BTS have always been at 100% on stage, but it feel like something has shifted from how it was pre-hiatus. I think succeeding with their solo works has brought a new life and confidence to their performances, plus the “we are all back together” factor.
I have only seen the concert in the movie theatre so far but I’m so impressed with the amount of energy and happiness that radiates onto the screen. You can feel it even though you are not there in person (which is making me even more excited for Toronto D1!)
How nice of you!! What stuck with me the most so far is just seeing how much fun the boys are having on stage with each other. I appreciate how much love they have for each other and how they support each other like a family 💜
I love all the content they’ve been putting out individually and as a group. It seems like they’re given more freedom to showcase their authentic selves to fans and I’m here for it!
How fit they are! It must take sooo much energy to perform like they do, especially with the heat in Tampa or the rain in Seoul! Yet they give it their all and look fantastically happy doing so!
Thanks for the fun opportunity!
I think what’s struck me most is even after they all did their solo work and the military that they’re so committed to BTS and each other and to ARMY. There are so many reasons I love them and they just keep proving me right!
Awesome giveaway. Thank you for the opportunity.
The thing that strikes me most about this comeback era is their growth and maturity in their work since their time in the service and their solo outings, yet they are still very playful and obviously having a blast together and on tour.
Love the pins! What struck me about their recent performances is how happy they are, especially Yoongi. Some of the fan cams show his big smile, he looks incandescent with joy.
Aww the bulletproof vest with the Arirang symbols! So cool, I’m always amazed by how talented ARMY is. Thank you for the chance!
I love the behind-the-scenes moment of them debating whether Body to Body should include the longer Arirang song part. The pros and cons – their thought processes while making any music is always super fascinating to me! And I love how happy they seem this comeback.
I just want to say, thank you u/pindagogo for being so generous with all of the giveaways that you have done. You are amazing!
these are so pretty (‘: i love that they all have a distinct look!
as an army of about a decade, it’s been so overwhelming (in the best way) to see and feel how much love still exists between bangtan and army. i mean i was a teenager when i first got into them and now adult life has changed me so much, but i still feel how i did my first comeback with them. we’re all growing up and learning but they seem so much more mature and sure of themselves. it feels like a lot of us are too and it’s just been really beautiful to experience
What’s struck me most is their professional growth as artists and musicians on stage and in the booth. The confidence has leveled up in all of them and their playfulness while performing has become even freer. It’s so much fun to have experienced this with them over the years and I’m so excited for whatever else the future has in store for them.
I also love how they’re constantly discovering (or allowing) new sides of themselves to share with ARMY.
As usual, you never miss. 💜 I couldn’t resist entering this one because I’m so in my concert feels still lol.
What strikes me the most about this era is the creativity and creative involvement, alongside the confidence. I love to see them confident enough to fight for the things they want to see. And that doesn’t mean no one ever compromises, but I feel like those compromises are made with more confidence. It’s nice seeing them be able to laugh off a choreo mistake instead of crying backstage. I love to see them feeling themselves.
I hope you got to/get to go to a show. 💜
I love how they’re leaning more into the freestyle/having fun on stage aspect more rather than the full clean cut choreographed songs!
What has struck me most honestly is just how much the guys had been promoting in america. Like, from what Ive seen and heard is they mostly promoted in america with very little interaction with Korean media.
Don’t get me wrong, I can see and understand why, but it is still shocking to me is all.
These are wonderful! If only we could have official merch like this.
I loved that they actually sound, look and feel like better versions of themselves. I/we were so afraid of the solo era when it began because everything was so uncertain. But not only did we get great songs and performances, we got more confident Bangtan because of it. This self-assuredness as performers is one of my favorite things about this era.
These are so so pretty, u/pindagogo!
💜 What has struck me the most this comeback is how relaxed and confident the boys are this time around, despite how nervous they say they are. They have many reasons to be nervous, but instead, they just seem so settled and comfortable in their identities. They’ve changed and matured so much in a few years, whilst maintaining their iconic levity and genuine bond. Arirang era feels extra special because of this. 💜
whoa these r so cute!!
def what struck me the most is the fact that theyre not as obligated to break their backs dancing the full choreo to song after song but they still focus on ensuring all the fans are having fun.
Thank you!!! So the thing that’s gotten me the most is just how happy Yoongi is. I get to see that man smile almost everyday now and I have never so pleased in my life. As much as I love the albums, I’m glad Agust D is a thing of the past and now we get pure unfiltered Suga. It’s the best. He smiles and I smile.
