Thank you mods for managing this community for all of us! So happy to be experiencing these exciting times together! I can hardly keep the schedule straight on my own, so thanks to all! Let’s goooo!
i lowkey have just been randomly bursting into tears throughout the day like i’m just so proud of bts. i know everything they are giving to us is going to be incredible and i hope i can make them just as proud
I genuinely cannot believe we made it! I don’t know how I’m gonna sleep tonight. The next few days are gonna be INSANE! YOH GUYS! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
PS: we need to start hydrating now to make up for the tears. Good luck to us all! 🤭🤭🤭🤭
I remember sobbing to The Planet when it came out because I’ve missed their voices together so much, I don’t know how I’m going to survive tomorrow 😭
I’m still in disbelief that in a couple of hours we are gonna listen to the album we’ve been waiting for years. Suddenly the enlistments, the longing for them, their longing for each other, the discharges, the solo adventures and more flashes through my head.
I’ve been an ARMY for five years now and it’s the first time I experience a full BTS album release. I’m feeling overwhelmed but I can’t explain how happy and excited I am, for me, for us and for them.
Let’s enjoy it to the max, celebrate it and ignore all the background noise!!!!
I feel overly emotional about music these last couple of days. I’m wondering if I’m even going to be able to get through the album lol. I’m also vibrating with excitement! I’m so glad I get to experience this in real time with all of you! Let’s make this comeback one for the history books!! 💜
I’ve been watching older concerts and I’m pretty sure all seven are gonna get teary on the 21th, lol.
I’m sitting here at work, a little bit sick to my stomach from all the butterflies, [praying](https://pin.it/5Fz3f3Pdn) for time to move faster and *no one around me gets it*.
It seriously feels like yesterday BTS were introducing Chapter 2 (even though they’ve also recently referred to this comeback as Chapter 2) at Festa 2022… I was in my tiny apartment heading into Season 2 at work. Now, I own a house with a husband and a dog, and I’m on the cusp of workplace Season 3.
Life comes at you fast, guys. 💜

How am i supposed to function????????????
I’ve been enjoying reading people’s theories around the album, watching the promo unfold daily since last week, and am currently listening to their albums in order. I’ll be ready for Arirang tomorrow morning!!
My heart is in my throat and my brain is buzzing nonstop WE MADE IT YA’LL
Just eagerly waiting to witness MY very first live bts album. Too much excitement and happy tears 😭😭😭😭💜💜💜💜💜💜
I’m a bit sad, in a way. My immediate friend group doesn’t like Kpop, so in real life I have no one to share with. I’m texting with my sister a lot, though. She’s in the same situation as me.
I’ve decided to wait on watching the Live. I want more time with the album first. I also won’t be reading any reviews, but in a while will check out translations.
Enjoy, everyone!
Work is trying to stress me out, but I’m too excited for the cb to care 😊
Was wondering today, that I cannot beleive that I can expereience my first comeback.And the scale is insane.
The members must be very nervous I cannot even imagine the pressure. I am looking forward to the album very very much, no tickets for the world tour, yet but we’ll see.
We are almost there!
Bro like i feel so scared and nervous for the streaming…. I am getting flashback for the peak 2018 2019 hope it’s just like that because there are many new armys please guysssss we haveee tooo be at the top our boys deserve it they are the KING!!!!!!
Got a question for you all – Am I the Asshole: BTS Comeback Version!!
My parents are long-retired and are flying back from a trip tonight. Usually for late-night flights I or my brother will pick them up at the airport, as we are night owls. I live about 25 minutes from the airport and my brother is about that far away, too. My parents’ flight gets in around 10-10:30pm tonight. I told my parents that I couldn’t pick them up because the album is dropping at 11. 😬
I just know that they’d want to chat about their trip and I would want to be listening to the album the minute it drops, and chatting with you all at that time. I feel bad because my mom sounded a bit confused about my decision. I think she figures I could just listen to it later. 🤷♀️ But dammit, we’ve been waiting on this comeback for ages and I want to be a part of it when the album drops!
AITA? (I know I’m asking the wrong sub for this lol)
I’ve spent the day (largely) offline and I think it’s done me a lot of good! I was getting so overwhelmed with content and excitement and nerves and theories that I was worried it would impact my enjoyment of tomorrow. As much as I’d love to come and type out every thought I have about every second of the album, the live, interviews etc I might just have a quiet day enjoying everything to myself. Let’s see if that lasts 😂
However you’re planning to spend the day I hope you all have an amazing time 💜
I’m feeling weirdly calm right now but also like there’s so many emotions that might burst out at any moment. This is my first comeback with the whole group and while I’ve been so hype for each members’ album/EP drops and I sobbed buckets of tears when they dropped ‘Take Two’, but I just don’t know how I’m going to react for this one!
I’ve been feeling extra precious about them like I’m nervous for this bc there’s so many eyes on them and people popping up everywhere talking about them and the comeback, well-intentioned and otherwise.
I just hope everyone stays safe and that the members feel our love and support! I know the album is gonna be amazing! And I’m so grateful to be able to go through this with all of you here, our cutie little sub! 🥹
It almost doesn’t feel real yet! This will be my first group comeback after being an Army for more than 3 years, and finally hearing them all together…. 😵💫 my stomach is tied in knots.
I hate that this is also one of the busiest weekends of the month for me but all free time will just be Bangtan. Who needs sleep anyway??
I’ve been having a really overwhelming day (work, teething baby, sick husband, existential crisis around my career, icky adult stuff) and haven’t been able to focus on being excited for this today – but! I have an alarm to wake up early to see the album and MV drop and am really looking forward to it.
Can’t believe we made it! I’m a solo-era ARMY (thanks Indigo, you’ll always be my first love) so seeing them all together and knowing we have an OT7 drop in 11 hours is mind blowing.
Holy shit the day is here. Literally just gave myself goosebumps right now at the thought.
Everyone hydrate, focus as Jimin once said, and most importantly let’s enjoy ourselves today and this weekend and next week. Allow it all to sink in.
(And I gotta memorize the new songs quickly 🫠)
All my albums have shipped but it still doesn’t seem real that we’re less than 12 hours away from a comeback.
guys I just genuinely can’t believe this is real and release day is here. where did the time go 😭
I’m freaking out. Can’t believe we’ve waited 3 years and it’s finally happening. I don’t know what to do with myself, I’ve just been nervously crocheting. Only 10 and 1/2 hours now 😬
I seriously can’t believe the album is only some hours away…I can’t believe it’s been 4 years since Proof!!!! And 5.5 years since we got a whole new album!!!!! We made it y’all :’)

I’m losing track of all the activities, is there a pre album release press con or YouTube countdown live before the album drops? I thought I saw it mentioned before but can’t find it now. Not the studio notes after release.
Although it seems like I’m coming down with a cold at the cusp of spring *cries*, I have never felt soooo much better. I’m super excited and can’t wait for midnight lol. I have been off my game since they’ve been gone and I’m so happy they are coming back healthy and happy!
I am wrapped up an afternoon full of meeting at work. While checking my personal email, I got the email saying my Arirang pre-orders were shipped and got super emotional for no reason.
I am exhausted but at the same time super hyped and excited. So many thing happening, so much to catch-up since lunch time 😀
I can’t get anything done today lol, and I didn’t take PTO for tomorrow, wish me luck!
The track by track made me cry.
Yoongi bro why in so much hurry? I couldn’t even read 🤣
Tae’s voice is soo soothing.
Jiminie with the jokes as always
I could imagine how awkward it was for JK 😆
Joonie nailed it as always!
Jin & Jhope are soo mature sounding.
Edit – Since I gave no spoilers, I’ll keep this comment. It really didn’t give away the album but instead set it up perfectly for me. I felt like I needed to hear it. So excited for today!
Where are my fellow enlistment era ARMY?!! I don’t know what to do with myself, so I am chaotically all over my social media platforms while streaming their albums. I’m just so glad I am ARMY!!!
thank you for this thread!! just watching everyone videos from TODAY that are in south korea right now are making me teary eyed. so much happiness and joy! keep the videos coming please 🥲
it just doesn’t feel real. even though i am in seoul rn and yes it’s true what everyone’s saying bts is EVERYWHERE and gwanghwamun is GINORMOUS. it’s just. a couple of hours left.
Are you as nervous as I am? I’m super excited about the album release and the upcoming tour, but I can’t help but feel apprehensive about the global interest and how important and historic this is. I find my self wondering if I’m really part of this as an ARMY, I mean, the boys did all the hard work and I’m just here to cheer them up.
My Spotify is absaloutely wilding today, epiphany – spring day – 2!3!. I am not okay.
My stomach is hurting with all excitement 😭😭
Guys please be there at 1pm kst for premiere!!!!!!!
This is kinda random, but I think after this comeback I’ll finally be able to watch the 2022 Festa video 😅 My trauma is healing, ha ha
We made it 🥹
I’m so lost!!! Did they do a track by track commentary? Where is it??? I just got off work 😔😔😔
Im not having a great week and i cant wait to have something to soothe me, to look forward to
I’m chilling but excited. Thinking on whether I should stay up for the live or if I should wake up to the sounds of the new album.
One of the things I’m doing today is finishing up the last few episodes I haven’t watched of Run BTS – episodes 154 and 155. I’ve kept a checklist of episodes ever since I started watching as a new ARMY in January 2024. My intention was to watch all of them by the comeback, so here we are! The members have been singing in the episodes I watched yesterday – 2000s Korean popular songs and then karaoke. It’s like the members are keeping me company and keeping me occupied while I wait. 🙂
I’m going to rush home tonight, sleep until just before midnight. Plan on streaming until I’m tired! After the comeback Live on Saturday I will be cleaning my house to the new Bangtan Album!!
I can’t believe it. We’re so so close. It feels so surreal that we’re finally here!
If I don’t listen to the album then it’s not real and then I don’t need to process all my big emotions, right?
Im so anxious and excited at the same time 😭😭
