I cannot stop replaying this song. It is the exact kind of beautiful-sexy jam that populates a ton of my playlists. I am living for the quick-spoken parts -- and then when that first lower "when you see me, when you touch me" hits? Living for it. I am also super into the destiny/soulmate (and sex) vibes this song is exuding. Given the teasers about time travel and mistakes and trying to fix things, I am super thrilled if this is going to be all about destiny and fate and how we must move forward and love ourselves because the past is fixed. Look for happy moments, focus on the moments of joy. But again SWEET LORD if the comeback trailer is serving quality above other groups' title tracks, then how will I survive?

I'm dead. If this is the intro's quality, then this album is going to destroy souls.

I normally buy from ktown4u or YesAsia. I grabbed two albums through Amazon since I am US-based. Once I see which two I got, I will buy the missing ones. So I am definitely excited to see how the Amazon numbers bump it.

My feeling is this -- most ARMY were here when their numbers weren't as amazing as they are now. If the next album doesn't do as well, we'll still be here. I think people who perpetuate these hollow accusations and bitter excuses aren't true fans of their own groups. Because if what you care the most about is sales, then you have your priorities seriously backward. I love that BTS has achieved this because it is such an earmark of how their years of hustling and keeping their heads down is finally resonating so loudly that everyone can hear it. And yassss to what must be spilling into their bank accounts. BUT SERIOUSLY WE DON'T EVEN HAVE THE COVER YET (I want it). Pride in BTS is eternal~

These photos are GORGEOUS!

Coming home to a thread full of amazing photos and clips make the upcoming comeback feel SO CLOSE. I love that they took selfies with a couple lucky fans -- can you imagine? I would probably cry, and I don't cry often.

Didn't RM say somewhere that silver was his favorite hair color he had? I like him with light colors a lot so I'm never mad at a variation of blond.

If we are walking down mixtape memory lane, I love me some:

One reason I like the PUMA campaign in general is how nicely it fits the BTS aesthetic. I definitely want them to keep moving toward a Dubai dune/BST styling. YNWA had cute elements, but the clothing itself was not cutesy. OH also the 21st Century Girls look. A++. Or the look some members had during "Lost" in the WINGS concert. Okay now I am just listing looks I like. Like this iconic: I don't think RM would drop something with all the anticipation for Hobi's work coming out, but this gives me more hope for hixtape dropping in August than anything else people have shared. And once they have all cycled through with a mixtape... ANTICIPATING NEXT RM ALBUM. I forget if this was a release from the Memories of 2016 DVD or something from Bon Voyage, but Yoongi was talking about doing a rapline-only concert. The temptation to fly to Korea would be greater than ever.

Okay I definitely need to rush to watch this episode of BV after all the glorious comments and gifs posted thus far. Bon Voyage is such a magical gift.

An unexpected cameo, whaaaaaat.

A theory: other members took his phone and sent themselves his unpublished works. Or, other member stuck their arm out to take guerrilla selfies for him while he was distracted.

"Selfie book" is intriguing.

It looks so similar in theme to the Dubai styling. I liked Hobi a lot in that styling (#longlivehippyhobi), but I want them to get back to that iconic (in my mind) picture of RM just chilling in this long-sleeved white shirt next to Tae in a golf cart. It was the most effortlessly sexy thing ever. I don't love when they legit look like boy scouts. Any time some sort of cloth/bandana-ascot is involved, I side-eye. I bought the summer package last year, but out of all the BTS stuff I buy, the summer packages feel the least worth it. I don't care much for photo books, don't really have a use for a random BTS beachball or whatnot, and the content on film is like an hour long and always available online. So I think I'll pass this year, though that cute RM snorkeling shot is intriguing me. Also, HI. It's been a long time. I'm not dead, just a busy summer. Also, someone else pulled this line from that article pages back, but it is such quintessential RM it bears repeating: “I don’t think I’m always right, or that I’m the one who can explain everything. I’m just a man who wants to be better and make better things. That’s it.â€

I enjoy this as an unbothered reaction gif.

I've been off the wagon all summer not keeping up with OH, weep. Time to get back in the habit with comeback around the corner and the mythical hixtape haunting my dreams. YAY SUMMER PACKAGE. RIP WALLET.

She's adorable.

I came to the thread to troll for an ENG SUB link, but it looks like they aren't out yet. Thanks for this full cut though!

I don't question why I did it because #blessed at that BBMAs coverage -- but I don't really vote as easily for other awards just because I feel like there are SO MANY. I try to vote for important ones where I can understand how the voting website works. But seriously the most ARMY I have ever felt, outside of being at their concerts, was my obsessive voting on the Billboard website. It was a nightly ritual.

Yay, a fellow ENTJ! I have consistently gotten ENTJ, except once when I took it on this random website and got INTJ. 16personalities labeled me ENTJ-A when I just retook it again. Fascinated by BTS' results. Must obviously go read more about each type and see how it lines up with my perception of the members. Bummed I have to wait for the radio show until I get home from work tomorrow, but it will be such a gift to come home to~

Hippie!Hobi is a treasure.

I have said this before -- but I didn't understand the concept of a bias. I was into BTS, and it was only after getting more entrenched in KPOPdom that I realized I needed to be honest with myself about being more obsessive about some members. Though acknowledging a bias wrecker was way more difficult for me than identifying my bias. #hobistopcomingforme

All this talk of Celsius is confusing to me. In America, we believe in using an arbitrary system different from the majority of the world. Because. America.
