-Rolling Stone Australia announces that Live Nation Australia recreated the ship in BTS's "SWIM" music video which can be seen floating in Sydney Harbour.
-Jimin posts photos on Instagram of himself and the night sky. This is a couple hours before the AMA awards.
-AMA awards night. BTS bypasses the red carpet interview then a video of a live performance of Hooligan (filmed Vegas day 1) opens the event. They announce winner of "female R&B artist" awarded to SKA, meet several other big names in the music industry, and walk away the winners of all 3 awards they were nominated for: Song of the Summer (Swim), Artist of the Year, and Best Male K-Pop Artist.
-During the AMAs, Jungkook lost a ring but thankfully an ARMY was able to return it (that's why he's pointing to his finger and walks the wrong way at one point). RM brings a rubber duck on stage and briefly squeaks it during V's impressive English speech.
-V posts a TikTok video of him jamming out in his room (with unplugged earbuds) and a air freshener spray. The caption translates to, "Looking for attendees for today’s private concert: 14 Mosquitoes and Me. Mosquitos stay for the final concert." (Let it be noted there were some accounts posting fan cams at the AMA awards who ARMY have reported as being stalkers, one of which films when JK points at them and whispers something seriously to Taehyung. Also, there are not usually mosquito insects in dessert areas this time of year).

-Oreo announces a collaboration that will be available June 8th (but seems to have been leaked early?) where the cookies will be purple and taste like hotteok with messages for ARMY. (A news site in Texas goes viral for announcing the collaboration with an ignorant and rude joke. Many fans send emails in protest but no official apology is made at the time this post is written. There are other sources posting the email to contact the Texan Fox News station. If you can't find it, contact me and I can send it to you.) Can you identify the BTS member's hands in the picture below? I can identify 4/7 for certain but the other three are up for debate.

-Steve Aoki posts a picture he got with the group before one of their concerts in Vegas thanking them saying he is forever a part of ARMY. V and Jimin share this post in their individual Instagram stories.
