Hello ARMY!
We continue swimming through a bunch of content this week such as a new music video, endearing interview goofiness, and the beginning concerts for the Arirang World tour. Many people were taking bets who would be the first to cry on Tour Day 1, but no one thought to bet on the heavens! Even with the rain the first tour performance was a romantic start to the long-awaited reunion between BTS and ARMY.
There were many people in attendance during the three concerts including family of the members (Hobi, JK, and Jin family relatives are confirmed but I would suspect others), other groups like TXT, Cortis, and Lesserafim, even members from other groups like Bangchan from StrayKids, Jongho from Ateez, and one of the Ive members (forgive me I forgot to save her name), also Kian84, IU, Kani, Yoshini A., and the director of the Min Yoongi Treatment center and roughly 39,980 other people.
Housekeeping:
-There was a lot of content this week so I may have missed something. Kindly, let me know in the comments or email me: bangtanbulletin.4u@gmail.com
-I am fortunate enough to be the lucky owner of tickets on April 25th. If all goes according to plan (including an 18hr drive round trip) I won't get back home until late Sunday evening so that week's post (April 26th) may be posted the following day. Apologies in advance for the delay.
-If you like what you're reading (or don't like it but still feel compelled) don't forget to buy me a coffee. :D Thank you!
Without further ado,
