As we further our exploration of the Love Yourself 承 ‘HER’ album, I must warn you before proceeding with this week’s blog… you may not survive it. Our theme of love continues, along with all of the intense emotions it inspires—some of which can be unhealthy—like obsession, envy, and hatred. But, for the most part, be prepared for Bangtan to swing you off your feet, and then gently scold you for spending too much time thinking about them. Even though they’re constantly asking ARMY to love them and never forget about them. Talk about mixed signals, right?
We’re often asked where the “best” place to buy BTS albums is. Realistically, there is no ‘right’ answer! There are a variety of factors to consider, and ultimately you’ll need to choose which retailer checks the most important boxes for you. This guide will cover the things people ask us about most often to help you make the best decision for your goals.
In Ask AP529 Episode 3, we determine the authenticity of a widely circulated photo known as “CEO Jin”, confirming it as a well-crafted edit by user @mutuntun. The investigation initially pointed to a concert from the Love Yourself: Speak Yourself Tour in 2019, but later traced the original image to an October 2018 concert in London. This case highlights the importance of verifying sources and recognizing that not everything online is real, and fan edits can be very convincing!
This week we are finishing up our exploration of Love Yourself 承 ‘HER’ and what a journey it’s been. We’ve been wooed and scolded in equal measure, it’s been both very comforting and confusing. The songs we’re covering this time seem to be polar opposites, but they are all about discovering truths within ourselves. Sometimes those truths are beautiful, sometimes they’re not, but they always affect how we relate to the world around us.
