The AP529 “70 Days to Spring” Countdown
Starting now, AP529 is launching “70 Days to Spring”. We’re counting down to the release of BTS’ comeback album, and yes, the symbolism is intentional. 🌸
Spring is all about return—the light is returning after a long season of quietly sitting in a shady spot waiting to see a single ray of sunshine. Or seven.
For the next 70 days, we’ll be sharing a quote from one of you—an AP529 member—reflecting on a favorite BTS memory or moment.
Not rankings.
Not any “best of” lists.
Just real memories from the real people that we (AP529 Admin) love so much. YOU!
Happy Birthday, SUGA!
Happy Birthday, SUGA! We hope you saw the outpouring of birthday love from ARMY worldwide and remembered that while you are out of sight, you are never out of mind. We love you, and we’ll see you in 2025—we promised, right?
Happy Birthday, j-hope!
We’ve made a compilation of our favorite moments from j-hope’s birthday lives over the years. Here’s to many more birthdays with BTS and ARMY!
j-hope, we’re so proud of you, and we're beyond excited for your upcoming album HOPE ON THE STREET VOL.1 (not to mention the accompanying documentary!) Please finish your duties safely. We’ll be waiting for you in October! May your birthday be as vibrant and joyful as you are.
