September 6 - 12: Happy Day of Birth, Namjoon!

 Hello Army! 

Magazine covers, BTS concert pictures, and most importantly: Namjoon's birthday celebrations! As the seven enter these next few weeks, hopefully they will find time to rest before the rest of the concerts begin.


Housekeeping: 

-New blog host platform! It doesn't allow for as much customization, but has a good foundation for blogging. Hopefully we will be able to adjust to the newness together. 

-This is the last post for a bit. I've had so much fun writing these and following the guys so closely (virtually, not stalking) this past year. You can read the anniversary post to see more information about that.

-Follow me on Instagram and Threads for more fun: @bangtan.bulletin

-Like what you see and want to support my BTS obsession? You can buy me a Ko-fi.


Without further ado, BTS activity for September 6 - 12:


Sunday, September 6:

-V comments on Weverse talking about random things (dreams, asking an army who shared they are learning the flute to play "As Time Flies" in one breath, and saying he hasn't been working out much lately)

(Note: this image is from 9/13/26 because I like it. It's like Jin is teaching how to raise arms without showing belly and makes me laugh.)


Monday, September 7:

-BTS Arirang World Tour LA Day 4

-Justin Bieber reposts a video of Jungkook's abs from LA day 4

-V and RM on Instagram story pose with Jean Dawsn who attended their concert


                                       

Tuesday, September 8:

-RM shares images from his time in LA including a dog he met at the tattoo shop when he went to get his newest "Lover" and "a human" tattoos, and JHope got "ARMY" spelled with BTS as in the Butter music video (and possibly a not-yet confirmed Tanny tattoo for V?).

-RM posts on Instagram stories an OT7 image with the Korean soccer player who came to their show.

-Many of the team members who worked on Arirang are now in Korea. Maybe new music is cooking? Yoongi is notably and curiously absent.

-Jungkook reposts the image with the soccer player on Instagram stories. He reposts several things this day including some art about procrastination and IU's new song release.

-RM shares a running image with the Korean flag. Seems like he's glad to be back home.

-It is announced that BTS set So-Fi stadium's all-time attendance record with 282,000 fans across four LA nights. Within the 31 shows so far there have been 1.92 million fans in attendance. Next tour show will be October 2nd (rumor says they will have a performance at iHeart Radio festival on September 18th or 19th, but yet to be officially confirmed. My theory is if they can't make it in person, there will be a pre-recording played. We shall see!)



Wednesday, September 9:

-V posts images on Instagram of the members eating pizza in LA and a teaser for a potential new tattoo... or several? He's quite unspecific. He also shares an image of the house (Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills) they stayed in during their time in LA.

-BTS big hit shares images of Jungkook holding onto Jin backstage, and images of the members eating the fish that Jin caught.
