But maybe this is also coming from my personal frustration that this comeback tour is falling a bit short of the intention that every other BTS or member concert/performance has had. To be clear, I love them and love to see them happy and healthy and doing what they love together. And I'm so glad they talked about having a healthier approach to touring (by spacing out the dates, using their time more wisely, etc). I'm not saying they needed more choreo necessarily but that doesn't mean they couldn't have had more intentional set design or structure as part of the show. And that could have balanced out giving audiences some bigger AW moments with the more intimate, candid vibes. But that's just my opinion from watching streams, maybe in person it's different.

Good point! I think we briefly talked about it before, how they probably want to make up for what’s lacking with face to face connections.

I'm so relieved that I'm not the only one who isn't on the Hooligan train. Is the appeal just because of the knives and the "ha ha ha" thing? I just don't get it.

Until this post, I hadn't thought about it being the FIFA selection. I was more worried about Swim. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

I also don't understand why B2B isn't getting more push. I mean, they made this big deal about including a sample from "Arirang" on it; it has the emotional and cultural resonance. It's a banger and even opens with the line "I need the whole STADIUM to jump."

So it has to be B2B, right?

p.s. The whole FIFA thing is giving me such a yuck feeling. We thought the NFL was bad, but the price-gouging here is astronomical. It's so in line with the Trump brand. Not to mention the threats of ICE agents showing up to terrorize people.

d.p.s. Also, it's going to be so freaking hot at MetLife.

It’s gotta be B2B because that’s the most sensible one — but, oh, wait, no, never mind. Because apparently, this era is about making all the wrong decisions 😭 I don’t get what’s not clicking. We do not want more Hooligan content. It’s not that serious but also, free usssss. We’ve gotten used to dumb around here, any other company would’ve seen how much potential B2B has and pivoted to take advantage of it, but I guess not. And yes, if this is BTS’ wishes, they’re also dead wrong lmao 😭 #idonotdefendbtswrongs

I totally get the reasoning behind it, I know it must be annoying to look into the crowd and just see a bunch of devices in front of people’s faces. And I do think people need to live in the moment more instead of rushing to film every single little thing and experiencing it through a camera.

Weren't they saying it wasn't him?

I think a lot of people ran with NJ (?) saying that they used a sample and assumed this was the sample.

I also agree with this. In fact, I think you can see this in other parts of the album as well.

For example, in they don’t know ‘bout us. I know NJ acknowledged the double meaning of the “you make me weak” line, but the way Jimin initially phrased the explanation stood out to me. When you listen to stuff like that, it sounds romantic or very loving, but Jimin said fans make them weak because they essentially suffocate them. They hold them to such a high standard that they have no room to grow.
