August 30 - Sep. 5: HBD JK

 Hello ARMY!

Jungkook's birthday was this week as well as one of the last shows of the BTS Arirang World Tour's North American second leg. Magazines, adventures, and sashimi rice bowls included in this week's summary!


Housekeeping: 
-Only a couple more posts until the first anniversary of this blog. Thinking of ways we might could celebrate...
-I'm on Threads and Instagram: @bangtan.bulletin
-Apologies for the late post but please understand this is a hobby I use to make my life happier and my life has been busy lately, not leaving enough mental energy to create this blog post. I want to make it to a full year of posts because it has been so cool to see changes over the past year, but honestly it is becoming harder to pull myself away from life to write. Hopefully with the colder weather coming in, things will be back to "normal" soon.
-Matcha has been my drink of choice lately, but please consider buying me a Ko-fi if you enjoy this blog. It helps cover the cost of the blog (since I don't run ads -on purpose-) and lets me know other people are enjoying this project, too. 



Without further ado, a summary of BTS activity for August 30th - September 5th:
