Path To Purple: Becoming ARMY

This weekend, we attended and spoke at the third Borahae Con in Lebanon, TN. It was our first time attending as well as speaking publicly! Our topic was ROOTED: How BTS' Musical DNA is Woven Throughout ARIRANG and we wanted to share it here for those who were not able to attend. We had such a fun time meeting new ARMY from across the nation and sharing our thoughts on how BTS' new music...

We are now at the final four songs of Indigo and Namjoon closes out this chapter with forgiveness for his humanity. With songs like Wild Flower and No. 2, he is recognizing the beauty of his own existence and how he did his best as the human he is. This album was a roller coaster for sure! But we loved every second of it, and the story it told.  We want to hear from you!

Welcome back to part 2 of our Indigo discussion. This week, we're looking at tracks 4-6 which lean more into the painful struggle of living. In the first part, we discussed the beauty and sacredness in discovering and maintaining your humanity and now we look at the more harsh side of it, the things we lose, the intense feelings, and sometimes the need to numb ourselves because of the overwhe...

We are discussing tracks 1-3 of RM's first solo album Indigo. This album is RM's diary of his 20's and when you listen to it, you absolutely understand why. The way he captures his mindset, his concerns, and his emotions in this album gives us that inside look into his life at that time. So join us as we break down Indigo, one track at a time. We want to hear from you!

RM went on the Zach Sang Show to talk about his first solo album, Indigo. He breaks down the songs and we break down the discussion. From the album's inspiration to the creative process, we had so much fun not only hearing him talk about the experience but discussing it before we do our deep dive into the album. So join us and learn about Indigo! We want to hear from you!

It's the last two episodes of BTS In The Soop 2, and it's also the last two episodes of all of their In The Soop content. I know, I know...we're heartbroken too. But come unpack their final bit of time relaxing in the soop and hear about the content we didn't get to see because *SURPRISE* there's a secret episode only available on Weverse.  We want to hear from you!

The guys are back in the soop for a second season! This time, they're in a new location with newly renovated accommodations and a new list of activities and luxuries to make the most of their relaxing time away. They also decided to bring the 8th member of the group to relax with them! Let's see how everyone settles in...In The Soop! We want to hear from you!

It's time to say goodbye to the soop. Even though we are sad to leave them just as they are sad to leave, we are happy they had this time to relax and unwind. We hope you also enjoyed your stay...In The Soop! We want to hear from you!

The guys head back to the soop after a few days of work in Seoul. Upon their return, they jump right into things, making lunch and settling in like they never left. From tiny Jimin in the canoe to a long overdue heart-to-heart between Jungkook and Taehyung, we are back to relaxing with BTS in the soop! We want to hear from you!

From Jungkook’s insane vocals, Taehyung’s silly antics, Jimin’s body rolls, j-hope’s commanding stage presence, SUGA’s beautiful smile, Jin’s gorgeous visuals, and RM’s cuteness aggression towards ARMY, I’d say LA Day 3 was quite the experience! Join us as we recap our last show of the BTS Arirang World Tour…for now… Until next time, Bangtan! Borahae 💜 We want to hear from you!

We are now in day 2 of the guys' stay In The Soop and we see them enjoying their time together as well as in nature. From building blocks to rainy day meals, we see them bonding over activities, meals, drinks, and even a little composing! So relax with us and BTS in the soop as they continue their staycation. We want to hear from you!

It's May 2020 and the world is at a stand-still. Restless and wanting something to share with ARMY, the guys take a vacation at a rental property in the mountains to relax, do activities they've been too busy to do, and spend time with each other. In this episode, we discuss their arrival and day 1 shenanigans. So relax with us and BTS, in the soop! We want to hear from you!

We are back! Continuing along with mono, we are really discovering this version of Namjoon through his wordplay, imagery, contradictions, unanswered questions and reflections on everything from identity and loneliness, to love and sadness, we are exploring what mono. reveals about Namjoon as a writer, thinker, and true artist.  We want to hear from you!

As promised, we finally got to our discussion of RM;s project, mono. This mixtape, or playlist as he refers to it, was such a great way to meet Namjoon at that point in his life and career.  From the quiet introspection of tokyo and the complicated relationship that comprises seoul,  to the acceptance he conveys in everythingoes and forever rain, mono. is Namjoon's inner thoughts on full disp...

This past week has been an insane one! For those of you who don't know, BTS announced they would not be submitting their work for consideration for the 2027 Grammys. A lot has gone down since that announcement and we are going to talk about it.

We spent ARMY Day at the happiest place on earth - DISNEYLAND! Big shout out to @boralandday on Instagram for coordinating this annual event. We had so much fun being at Disneyland with so many ARMY. We definitely think this will be an annual celebration for us. If you were there, we hope you had a blast too! If you missed it this year, there's always next year...we hope to see you there! We...

So we realized we never actually introduced the group to you. As we wrap up our discussions of their group albums and begin our dive into their solo projects, we figured now would be a good time to talk about who BTS is and how they became the global phenomenon that they are. This isn't the best guide to BTS but its our guide! We want to hear from you!

Chaos level = 1000! The competition is heavy. $1,400,000 won is at stake. No one can be trusted! One thing we realized watching this episode is how these guys, who call themselves family, will easily lie to each other. All in love but definitely every man for himself! Tune in and laugh out loud because laughter is inevitable. We want to hear from you!

We watched Food Guest parts 1 & 2 and had so much fun watching the guys compete for food. With MC Jin, the guys split into two teams and played a variety of games. Tensions were high as one team seemed to be doomed to fail, overpowered by the other team. But in a sudden act of pity that turned the tables, we saw an epic comeback! Would it hold them enough to evade the punishment? We want to he...

Where do we even begin? This album is so incredible that it's hard to believe it's for a mobile game! We had so much fun listening to this album and discussing the songs that BTS were a part of. Whether you're into mobile games or not, this soundtrack is DEFINITELY worth a listen.  We want to hear from you!

This weekend, the BTS members each released a log for FESTA! We watched them and now we're going to talk about them. Each log was 6 minutes and 13 seconds, for their anniversary, giving us a small glimpse into their day off and what they do in their down time while on tour.  We want to hear from you!

All the planning, the anticipation - SO WORTH IT! We saw D3 and D4 in Vegas and had the time of our lives! Our first OT7 concert and we are already sad it's over. But first, we share our experience with you. So tune in as we talk about conquering the merch line, handing out freebies for the first time, and witnessing the wonder that is a BTS concert...twice! We want to hear from you!

We're back with part 2 of our BTS Dalbang recap, covering episodes 75 and 76. The guys finish filming their flashback scenes and we end episode 76 by watching the full drama! All in all, they did a great job and we loved watching them act. Check out our recap episode then go watch the Rn BTS! episodes for yourself!  We want to hear from you!
