Hello ARMY, and welcome to the first-ever Bangtan Bulletin! THP’s brand new monthly BTS column talking about all things Bangtan. Every month, we will bring you all the latest BTS news, discussing the hot topics in Boraland, and just using this space to get hyped about our Bangtan Boys. Mark your calendars for the 7th monthly!
So much happened in the month of November with BTS, from new music to Suchiwta, teasers, and more! Let’s geddit…
Everything Is GOLDEN With Jungkook
Our golden maknae released the most fantastic pop debut record ever! The tracks from GOLDEN have been on repeat all month and will continue being on repeat for the rest of our lives. We absolutely love how Jungkook used love as the universal theme in the album so that everyone can relate to each song. It’s like going on a musical journey with him and his pop bops! He has also focused on creating so many different vocals registers in this album. Jungkook will always gift us 300% of his vocal abilities. That’s our global popstar! Every track from this album is perfect. 🫶
Jungkook wanted to create a golden moment with this album, and there have been so many amazing promo activities with GOLDEN to enjoy with him. We know how much he loves performing in front of ARMYs, and he worked so hard to create memories with us that we will never forget. From seeing him perform on a Times Square billboard in front of thousands of people (we’re still thinking about how mindblowing this was) to creating the best GOLDEN showcase and expressing his love for us, Jungkook made us smile with everything he prepared. We will always be standing next to him, and we’re so proud of him for releasing such a great project!
Yet To Come In Busan Has Arrived On Amazon Prime
If you’re anything like us, you haven’t been able to think about anything other than the iconic ‘Run BTS‘ and ‘Cypher Pt. 3: Killer‘ live performances from the Yet To Come In Busan concert. We definitely can’t blame you: These stages have changed our lives, and now, we can rewatch them as many times as we want with the whole Yet To Come live setlist on Amazon Prime! This concert was so memorable in so many ways. The tannies gave us an incredible show (as always) while going through some of their most amazing bops, including the queen, the legend, ‘Ma City!‘ They just had to perform this song in Jimin and Jungkook’s hometown!
Our favorite seven gave us the time of our lives with this concert, but they also made us cry with their heartfelt speeches and encore songs. Be sure to prepare some tissues for your watch party because it will definitely make you feel full of love for our BTS. This is the last concert they did as a group of seven before we began Chapter 2, so it holds so much sentimental value for the boys and us. We truly cannot wait to see them all together on stage again! Can we fast-forward in time, please?
The Drinks Are Flowing With SUGA’s Suchwita
You know it’s a good month when we have all these episodes of Suchwita to binge! We’ve been so grateful to have this show to keep us company during Chapter 2, and this month is no exception. Plus, we’ve had two other BTS members make an appearance recently! We had Jungkook’s second episode to celebrate the release of GOLDEN, and Jimin showed up on SHINee’s Taemin’s episode! The dynamic between Yoongi and Jimin is always hilarious, and then you throw in Taemin, who is the same age as Yoongi but is Jimin’s IRL friend, and you have a recipe for the perfect show.
And if you’re a K-Pop swot, don’t forget to check out the episode with Uhm Junghwa, too!
The Holidays Are Looking Purple With BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star
Good news, ARMY! BTS is back with another docu-series, and we are so stoked! Dropping in honor of their 10-year anniversary, BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star follows the members on their decade-long journey to stardom, highlighting the highs and the lows and revealing never-seen-before clips. Premiering on December 20th on Disney+, we’ll receive two episodes weekly for four weeks, making this festive season brilliantly bora! Some of the content teased so far includes their early win of Best New Artist at the 2013 MMAs, the collective struggle faced during the Danger period, their first concerts as BTS, their American debut at the AMAs and the BBMAs, speaking at the UN and iconic performances at The Rose Bowl and Wembley Stadium. The episode titles have already been released, too!
1. The Beginning
2. Adolescence
3. Pursuit of Happiness
4. Disconnected
5. Welcome!
6. Begin and Again
7. Still Purple
8. Promise For Tomorrow
Can’t wait until then? Why not binge all the current BTS documentaries in the meantime? Now, we wonder if purple popcorn is a thing…
And the nominees are… BTS!
K-pop’s end-of-year awards season is in full swing! So naturally, BTS are busy extending their record for the most Daesangs of all time. At The MAMAs, Bangtan took home a total of seven awards: Worldwide Fan’s Choice, Worldwide Icon of The Year, and Best OST for ‘The Planet.’ And unsurprisingly, the members’ solo work didn’t do too badly either! Agust D won Rap & Hip-hop Performance for ‘People pt2,’ Jimin scored Best Male Artist, and Jungkook won two trophies: Best Dance Performance Male Solo and Best Collaboration for ‘Seven.’
And as for the MMAs? Well, BTS came out on top in two categories – Top 10 Artist and Kakaobank Favorite Artist – And Jungkook took home another four. Yep, you heard us: four! He won the Hot Trend Award, Best Solo Male, Top 10 Artist, and Millions Top 10. Imagine winning the same category twice at the same award show… legends only.
Future’s Gonna Be Okay
Okay, it’s time to address the elephant in the room. This month, we got the news that the remaining members, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, are now preparing to enlist in the military. It’s bittersweet because we don’t want to say goodbye yet, but we keep reminding ourselves that the sooner they leave, the sooner they’ll return. We won’t sugarcoat it: it sucks. But we also think it’s crucial to remember the positives at a time like this.
To start, we are now less than 200 days away until Jin’s return! We are so excited for that first Welive to mark his homecoming. He’s going to have so much to say to make us laugh and smile, truly showering us with love in Jin-style. We also were thinking recently about that first OT7 performance in 2025 and how incredible it will be. Remember when SUGA had his shoulder surgery and the first performance that marked his return? That dramatic entrance was pure fire. Now imagine whatever and wherever the first-ever 2025 performance is. We can see it being truly phenomenal!
It’s a hard time for us ARMY; we know it too well. Trust us when we say we are in THP HQ together, often consoling each other over it all, and have been for a year now. But as RM said: the BTS and ARMY he knows (and we know) are literally so strong. We have got this! And we know that there’s going to be so much content released during their absence to keep us occupied. We are using Agust D’s “Future’s Gonna Be Okay” as a mantra and the promise of ‘Yet To Come’ to keep us going. We’ve got this! And you’ve got this. We believe in you.
Until next time. Borahae, ARMY!
