Hello ARMY!
A birthday, mild drama, and MAMA nominations this week of October 13th-18th!
It was confirmed by RM during an interview this week that we can expect the album will be released sometime in late March! I've already marked my calendar for time to listen and cry and dance to the album (as has Charlie Puth it seems). Many ARMY are saving up for the greatly anticipated BTS world tour yet to be announced, too. Ticket purchasing is going to be very competitive based on the astronomical quantity of fans, so start training your reflexes now!
Now on to the essentials:
10/13: Jimin's birthday! He turned on live at the end of the day for 1hr and 20 minutes. Discussed making the new album (without spoilers), working out, nerves at the Dior show, and more. Said he saw V yesterday but hasn't seen the other members yet. JHope, RM and V wished him a HBD in their Instagram stories. Happy birthday, Jimin!
10/14: Weverse makes announcements of merch available and Run Seokjin encore presale tickets.
10/15: RM, JHope, and V make an appearance looking very handsome at the charity event "Love Your W 2025" in Korea along with many other Korean celebrities. Clips from the event are shared on W Korea's Instagram with a not-fully-positive response from fans. Several fans were inspired to donate to other organizations that promote breast cancer research after this. Later in the week (10/19), WKorea releases an apology letter on Instagram.

10/16: MAMA 2025 nominations are announced including JHope and Jin for male artist of the year and a couple other categories. V and RM are also included in the best collaboration category. The 2025 award ceremony will take place November 28 and 29 in Hong Kong. Other fans and websites can tell you the best way to vote so go check it out and vote!
10/17: Jin posts comments on Weverse responding to a fan's posts of what appear to be photos of a very young and adorable Jungkook. (I unfortunately couldn't tell if they were AI or not so I've chosen not to share here but hopefully you can find them if you wish to.)
10/17: Pictures from V's photoshoot for Snow Peak clothing line are shared. Winter is usually my least favorite season but he makes it look so cozy and warm!

10/18: JHope makes an instagram post holding a vegetable stalk like the character on his shirt. (Apologies to Pokémon fans if there's a reference I'm missing). This photo makes me smile!
There were a few other posts to Instagram stories like Jimin's post of a black and white cat, RM's photo after running 7.15km in just over 38 minutes, V walking the street at night with some pals and images of his Kaws's figurines resembling Sesame Street characters, and more including song recommendations from Jungkook.
Sadly, this was not an OT7 week, but we have some good news to tide us over until we hear from each of the members. As they go about their adult lives and work hard for the next album, ARMY likewise will keep working hard! Fighting and Hwaiting!
