It's time for the Weekly Bangtan Report!
Happy Birthday Hobi! Neuron Crew has posted a happy birthday tribute on their social media channels. Here is the video on YouTube:
youtube
Neuron Crew are a group of Hobi's dance colleagues and friends from pre-debut. He's known them since middle school. This video was shot at Daedong Plaza in Gwuangju, Hobi's hometown city.
I was wondering last time if we'd see him in between training groups and here he is! The birthday boy himself was out and about. He saw his birthday banners and posters! I suspect this is possibly near his apartment building.
And COMING MARCH!!! HOPE ON THE STREET!!!
youtube
Personally, I hope its a series and not just one full length documentary type thing.
Ok, now news for the thirsty folks (thirsty folks=all of us) I was going to start this weekly recap with this, but...
I decided to spare everyone. I'm sure y'all are tired of seeing naked Jungkook (of course that was a joke).
EDIT: CK pulled a bonehead and did not add this particular hoodie to their website before dropping the pics. It supposedly is there now.
As I predicted months and months ago, these brand ambassador deals are the gifts that keep on giving (thank you jesus and tight pants).
Jungkook's deal with Calvin Klein ... he said he wears the "tight kind" ... dare I even go here? will we...? did he...? We Wait™️
There is a video of behind the scenes of his music show recordings he did from Seven's release to Golden's promotions is available on BangtanTV.
youtube
Yoongi's Valentino campaign is beginning to appear in Japan.
We still know nothing about what he's up to but we keep getting episodes of Suchwita. Perhaps we'll get one with his good friend, producer El Capitxn. We Wait™️
Taehyung has a photo spread in the current issue of WKorea. Flowers. Lots of flowers:
And he posted on Valentine's day but not really a love note (lol, he's a goofball) but the boy is gaining some weight. He's up to 160 lbs...
I present to you my interim report.
Attained 72.5 kg I will come again.
Salute

Namjoon.... there is that sus image of him playing the saxophone in a red military band uniform (not gonna post the pic). Is it an edit? Ok, so let's think about this.
When have we ever heard Namjoon say he knows how to play the saxophone? That would be approximately zero times he's ever said that. You'd think we would have had some Taehyung/RM interactions or conversations over the years involving saxophones. Nothing.
Do you know how hard it is to learn to play a wind instrument?
And there is only that one single suspicious image. Usually there are multiple weird sneaky angles, blurry shots, etc. I'm just saying I remain skeptical until I hear more from a different source, or from Joon himself. I've seen several pics supposedly of Jimin and Jungkook, one of them sitting in a cafeteria that looked hella real and then the original pic is shown and it's just... wow... edits can be very deceiving.
Joon posted a Lunar New Year message to us on Weverse:
Hello ARMYs,
I hope you're doing well.
I've come to my assigned military base and am adapting and doing well. I've had some tteokguk* too.
Since it's Seollal, I've also been resting a bit, and I'm living well. I will need to spend one more Seollal here before I can see you but, I'm spending my time well.
I really believe that this time will lead to different kinds of learning and experiences.
Whenever, wherever you are, please stay healthy, and I hope that your life has a lot more good than bad.
Hoping that the connection we share continues, I wish you a happy new year !
(*Rice cake soup traditionally eaten during Seollal, or Lunar New Year.)
Trans cr; Aditi @ bts-trans © TAKE OUT WITH FULL CREDITS
And his @ rpwprpwprpwp Instagram account posted some pics this past week. Since comments are open on that account, Armys are trying to outdo each other with the corniest pickup lines:
IS THERE AN AIRPORT NEARBY, OR WAS THAT JUST MY HEART TAKING OFF?
If you were a triangle you'd be acute one 💋
If I'm the pencil, you're the highlighter. Because I'm gonna draw our future and you're gonna make it brighter.
Jimin also posted a short but super sweet Lunar New Year message on Weverse and mentioned Jungkook:
It's Lunar New Year ARMYs!
I hope you have a happy Lunar New Year and I hope this year for you is a healthy year filled with happiness
Jungkook and I are doing well so please don't worry about us too much.
I'll check in with you again!
Hope you have lots of good food and eat a lot today
Trans cr; Annie @ bts-trans © TAKE OUT WITH FULL CREDITS
I was so happy to see a message from him and so glad he said they are both doing well. But I'm still going to worry...
Nothing new from Jin, we've already had his February message. 116 days left. But here he is and I am looking forward to having his grown ass, mature, military experienced man back with us in a few months:
Other Bangtan related news this week: Enhypen released a cover of I Need U. Some people are speaking negatively about it. What the ever loving fuck is wrong with you people?
That song was important for BTS, it was their first TV music show win and it was IMPORTANT and a big WIN for them that broke the door open. They were about to give up!
Be flattered that BTS is of a calibre that other well-known artists want to cover their songs! That being said, if you don't like the way they covered the song, fine, just move on, there's no need to be mean-spirited about it.
Last weekend, a Japanese TV show seemed to tease/spoil a hint that possibly high profile celebs stayed at a resort in a town outside Sapporo recently... the hint was "Dynamite." This was the resort:
Uh... nice... delulu brain activated...
#bangtan weekly report#update on the fortress: they are working on the interior#i'm sure there's a hundred other bts related things i forgot to mention#even when they are absent they are everywhere#to the person who asked me last week about Jungkook please check your DMs

BTS Miya Gears Up for Her First Solo Promotions Completely Without Her Members
12:30AM || February 1, 2024
MIYA drops a flirty polaroid picture as a teaser for her upcoming comeback!
ARMY were eagerly waiting for the next episode of “Cook With Me, Yeah?” on January 29th, excited to see which of MIYA’s friends would be featured next, but the episode hasn’t come.
Instead, once the clock struck midnight on February 1, 2024, MIYA posted a polaroid photo on her instagram story captioned "shhh! something's coming on valentine's!".
ARMY believed it to be MIYA teasing another set of photos of her with her boyfriend NCT Mark, given them posting each other on Valentine's Day having become a yearly tradition since their publication in 2020.
However, the official BigHit X account posted the same polaroid fifteen minutes later, revealing the polaroid to be a teaser for her upcoming pre-release single titled "SHHH!", which fans are anticipating to once again be a sexy concept.
The pre-release single will be released on February 14 at 6 p.m. KST, a month before the release of MIYA's next mini-album "reppin'" on March 21.
Are you excited for MIYA's return?
In the meantime, watch MIYA in her variety show "Cook With Me, Yeah?" on the BangtanTV Youtube channel or on Weverse!

GCF in Budapest
I have thoughts... but first a link, please have your own first impressions without any influence.
youtube
So...I don't know what it has been about the Golden promo period but there's literally nothing that hasn't given me mixed feelings. Nothing that I absolutely love or hate and this GCF is right along with it. And overall, that just makes me sad. I spent years being excited for whatever JK would finally give us if he ever did a proper solo project and I'm just kinda bummed overall.
What did I love?
'Directed by Jung Kook'.
Seeing JK when he's more playful. Always a serotonin boost!
JKs camera work, I just love the insight he has on camera placement and framing to help tell the story he wants to tell.
Yes or No. Still the only track I actually love from Golden so it's nice to hear it featured!
What bothered me?
'Edited by HYBE'. Bro... so much of GCF's charm and storytelling comes from the edit itself. (And not to nitpick but HYBE is a company...not an editor, so this means there were either multiple editors, or they're purposely trying to not have us associate any actual humans with this film other than JK. I also think they want ARMY to use the logic that HYBE is basically BTS and thus this work is basically completely JK's too... it's not, it's definitely not).
No English subs yet. I get it, I really do but it's a bummer.
The amount of camerawork by someone else. It's not uncommon for JK to include footage with someone else holding the camera but once we get to the gym scenes, the majority is from the perspective of someone else holding the camera, not JK. Which again, there's nothing wrong with that per se but it absolutely feels more like a bangtan bomb or episode rather than a GCF. This is also when we stop getting establishing shots and B roll. Again, nothing wrong with it but that's one of the fundamentals of a GCF for me.
There was so much dialogue that the song was interrupted pretty continuously. JK did that previously as a storytelling device which just further supports the feeling that this is bangtantv content and not a GCF.
Basically, I think I would have had very little issue with this if it wasn't packaged as a GCF. It feels a whole lot more like JK's camping vlog from a few years ago. Loved that, had no issues with it whatsoever.
...the irony is not lost on me that the only song from Golden that I love is Yes or No while my overall experience with this era is....maybe??

Hello,
Not to be that person but I feel like you don't talk about how Jimin is also packing..like even the recent run episode where they do flying yoga, it's so noticeable. Behind the scenes of their Butter music video too, he be dangling. Out of all the members he seems to be really good at tucking it in to be honest. like that set me free dance practice, Jimin was showing. I couldn't stop staring haha..
Anon wdym? I talk about the Jimcock all the time.
Here u go.
Another here
And here. I mean, look at this thing. Our man is definitely packing. Youtube link here for a clearer view
And here is the SMF Jimcock you're talking about. He will forever be iconic 🍆
Here he is dressed in white thus giving us a clear view 😝
I clipped the Jimcock from Own it dance practice here. Oh, he's packing.
You also see it here
And you definitely see it here
Here it is again
And please... please lets never forget the wave the wave is fucking iconic.
I felt a bit guilty about where my eyes were on this clip seeing as OP is talking about how cute Mimi is. But my eyes had other plans. 🤷🏽♀️
It's the fact that this lucky lady has her head right on the Jimcock.
Of course we have that one award show
Another award show if you don't have TT here is a screenshot
That one TT he did. Y'all already know where to find it
Look, Jimin is packing too, alright? Let's never forget. JK wasn't having a hard time on his birthday and ITS for nothing.
The difference is, Jimin knows how to contain the Jimcock and so we don't see it as often. Also Jimin is thick while JK's is long. Jimin's boyfriend has a donkey dick that he likes to wave around everywhere. So its kinda hard not to notice the Jungkonda when its right there. I mean this man was racing like this. He cray cray!!! So yes, Jungkonda comes up more. But make no mistake; BOTH members of the Park-Jeon house are blessed.

March 28th at 12:13AM KST: JM🌟: "I miss you 😊"
March 28th at 03:42AM KST: JK replied: "Me too"
As the whole fandom was debating whether his reply meant "I miss army too", or "I miss you (JM) too", JK goes live 11 minutes later at 03:53AM KST, live titled: "수취타 (SuChwita)" where he says he came to watch Jimin's SuChwita episode and then he watches SMF2 MV, SMF2 dance practice, a LC challenge video, and a compilation of BTS teasing Jimin. He says he watched Jimin's Pixid interview and mentions having already watched the "Jimin's Playlist" video of FACE on BangtanTV when it came on shuffle after the SuChwita episode. He listens to some music by other artists, gets inspired to work, and after 1 hour, 36 minutes and 46 seconds of him basically giving Jimin heart eyes, he leaves us to go work on music.
The fandom is in complete shambles but at least now we know who was JK’s "Me too" comment directed to.
At 10:20AM KST on the same day, Jimin replies to Jungkook's comment with "Let's see each other soon. Your live is cute"
At 7PM on the same day, Jimin went live after he had finished his last music show performance, and JK showed up in his live chat spamming comments like "You know I'm hyung's (your) fan.", Jimin teases him about watching a bunch of his videos on live then tells him to prepare him his ramen recipe (that he had posted a few days prior) when he comes to visit, to which JK eagerly replies "Of course, of course. I'll do it for you". The live ends with JK having left a total of 19 comments, an unprecedented feat for him.
Reading the facts of that day as they are, it's undeniable that JK was missing Jimin like crazy (no pun intended) and he never does this when he's missing the other members, such as Seokjin who was already enlisted at the time, neither did he do the same for Hobi (at least not yet) after he enlisted either, despite him mentioning missing them in passing when the topics are brought up.
Jimin is special to Jungkook, whatever their bond may be, it's special and JK makes sure that everyone knows that. JK is a man of grand gestures for the ones he loves and he makes sure to show that Jimin isn't just another one of the hyungs to him, he's more than that. Whether you think they're dating or not, you can't deny that Jimin gets special treatment from JK in a lot of things (like how he used to only buy birthday gifts for Jimin and no other member, or how he made a whole GCF for him to celebrate his birthday, also something he hasn't done for any other member). And if that live was indicator on how JK acts when he misses Jimin, how he tries getting his attention by doing over-the-top actions, then I think it's pretty safe to assume they meet regularly now since he hasn't pined over Jimin in a minute. If he ever feels like he misses Jimin again, he'll make sure everyone knows it.
Hi anon!
What you are describing here is exactly the sort of thing that makes me believe there is nothing nor has there ever been anything romantic between Jk and Jimin. Because why… why if they’re partners would Jk not go see Jimin if he’s missing him? Jimin was busy sure, but does he not have to sleep? Is Jk not able to go with him, like other members have done? Why was it possible for Yoongi and Hobi to go see Jimin, but not Jk… if he misses him so? I hate to compare like this, because it seems cruel… but Tae has obviously been very busy the last few weeks, and yet.. he went to see Jk at Inkigayo.
What you described in your ask, was close friends missing each other. I will never deny that Jk and Jimin are close and they love each other very much. But they do not love each other the way partners do, because if that was the case Jk would’ve been content to just go see Jimin whenever there was a chance to. I once had a partner who traveled two hours to have lunch with me for an hour. That is what people in love do. Friends however will suddenly go ‘damn, I haven’t seen him in a while… I miss him’ especially when prompted by something (a weverse comment). Friends will then go on a whole supporting watching whatever they can together with army binge. But even when Jk realized he missed Jimin they did not meet and they did not meet for ramen after that and they did not meet for a while. Jimin asked Jk to come watch him practice more and Jk didn’t want to. So sure.. Jk had a surge of missing Jimin… but when real partners miss each other they do not go on social media about it.. they go see each other.
The GCF was not for Jimin’s birthday, don’t know where you got that from, the Tokyo trip wasn’t even for Jimin’s birthday probably. Jimin himself complained about Jk not buying birthday gifts.
There’s still nothing to base them meeting regularly on, except your assumptions. They could, sure.. but there’s just as much chance that they aren’t. Jk has been super busy, they did meet in NY.. which was part work probably.. but I’m also sure they really enjoyed their time together.. because I do agree that Jimin and Jk have a special bond, just not a romantic one.

You can see several signs such as these (#1 src, #2 src, #3 src):
There also seem to be several yellow bottles of Tide laundry detergent.
We see a vending machine at 01:28, which contains snacks such as
Whizzers
Utz chips, both original and salt'n vinegar
Snak Club nuts or candies
Two elements could be nods to the movie Everything Everywhere All At Once:
The "family washers" sign, which is identical
The laundry vending machine, that seems identical (hard to confirm)

There could be references to other media but we don't have as concrete proof as with Everything Everywhere All At Once. People mostly mentioned Titanic (for the flood and the couple staying together, cr.) but Beef (for the similar intro, cr.), as well as Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" (for the man running after the girl and the storm, cr.), were also talked about.

My you - Jungkook
Jakay.....
What you do to us, eh?
What kind of surprise did you have waiting for me you wonderful young man?
Let’s start with the clip released on BangtanTV shall we?
youtube
So many little hints left there for us. I’m sure I won’t get them all and I can assure you that there is more number games going on that I have NO understanding of and will need Karmy or someone who’s into the numbers game to lend me a hand with.
But I’ll just lay out what I noticed there, and feel free to add on....
We have the times:
06.13.
03.29.
06.05.
07.09.
Explained?
And did we notice the moon?
Same moon?
We had:
Then we have the lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Summer has already spread in the air
Breeze is already blowing
The last cold snap is going out
The days were getting longer and longer
But my days were still going on, and on, and on
I got wet in the sun shower and looked up at the night sky
[Verse 2]
It was quite a lonely night
In the blink of an eye
The dark faded out
Blooming under the sunlight
Memories with me and you
[Chorus]
All these lights are colored in by you
All these times are precious due to you
Four sеasons have passed with you
Four scents wеre left 'cause of you
All the reasons why I can laugh out
All the reasons why I sing this song
Thankful to be by your side now
I'll try to shine brighter than now
[Verse 3]
Will it disappear?
Is it a dream?
I toss and turn
Falling asleep again
Can it last forever?
My bitter heart
I try to sooth it
And get stuck in the night
[Verse 4]
A quite lonely night
The dark clouds scatter suddenly
Engraved under the silver of light
The warmth you left behind
All the light is colored by you
And my time becomes perfect
Again after four seasons
It's getting deeper again
The reason I smile
And I'm able to sing this song
Thank you for being by my side
I'll shine brighter
[Outro]
On a starry night
Hope my you sleep tight
Shining purple light
Thankful to be by your side now
On a starry night
Hope my you sleep tight
Shining purple light
Thank you for being by my side
We also have JK’s words he released on Bangtan Blog:
JK’s Army.
*Run BTS episode 72 starting at around 20 min. mark.
And this is so cute:
cr./ @_ma1c0
Sleep tight. 🥰 😘

Things happen for a reason
I watched it a few days ago and I have a few words to say about Namjoon and his KBS TV interview... when they discussed Jin’s enlistment I was touched by the authenticity Joon showed when he said Jin (being the elder brother) told him he’d go and experience it first and then let them know what it’s like. And I immediately think of Jin’s astronaut floating through space alone to explore uncharted territory for them (tears again).
When Joon explained the attempt to balance regular Kim Namjoon who likes to read and look at paintings, with the stage persona of RM, who performs in front of 60,000 people, it made me think of when he and Jimin were in the car on their way to the AMAs last year. Joon said something about this red carpet stuff as being awkward and something to the effect that celebrities enjoy the circus that goes with these award shows. Which seems to be true. Jimin said we are not celebrities, (therefore they don’t enjoy this sort of stuff) they are just Park Jimin and Kim Namjoon. The two philosophers...smh. But Jimin was basically being honest. The separation is real for them.
[We know much more about Kim Namjoon these days but do we really KNOW the real regular guy, Park Jimin? Predicting a very long post in the future.]
You know, (criticism of the k-pop industry’s extreme practices notwithstanding) here in the west, we hear of young artists who experience fame and fortune at a young age and who are also trying to grow up in the spotlight and many times they crash and burn, become addicted to drugs or alcohol and/or suffer mental health issues when they can’t handle the extreme pressure placed on them. The members of BTS all experienced this extreme pressure and sometimes were overwhelmed. But they were lucky enough to have a support system with each other and their company to get them through this period. As Joon said, with Jin’s enlistment, the page is turned on this chapter of BTS.
He also mentions that the timing couldn’t be better for this period of BTS because the team is very strong and Army trusts BTS. Just that statement reminds me that I fully believe in “things happen for a reason” and that all the turmoil and grief of the last 3 years was a time that strengthened them as individuals which allowed them to focus on what they wanted for their future. The timing is better now than it would have been at the end of 2020 had the pandemic never happened, had Jin enlisted then...we wouldn’t have Dynamite or Butter or BE or the Permission to Dance concerts.
Joon has been very forthcoming and honest, very REAL, these last few weeks. I am grateful to him.
Here is the entire KBS interview with English subs.
Joon’s Rolling Hall live performance: Paul Blanco and Youjeen blew me away with their voices. The intimacy of the venue, the fact there were no cell phones and no army bombs... just like back in the day when you had to watch with your eyes, listen with your ears or else miss it. I enjoyed it very much. And everything else he’s done to promote Indigo has been outstanding and a breath of fresh air.
Last but not least, hey, hey, hey! Run BTS episodes now having their own playlist on BangtanTV (Youtube). Very convenient and easy to find, easy to watch. THANK YOU!
(But also low key suspicious they are trying to keep us distracted because something’s coming.)
