The 529 Connection
Bangtan Iconic Moments: Part II
As ARMY Project 529 progressed week by week, we realized that Baby ARMY might hear more seasoned ARMY use phrases or acronyms referring to a very specific time/place/look for BTS, and perhaps be confused. We covered seven quintessential looks for Part 1, and now we’re back for more. This is Part 2 of a guided tour of Bangtan's most iconic looks!
Demian: The backdrop of BTS’ Wings | Part II
We continue exploring the connections between the novel Demian and BTS's Wings album. In Part II, we delve into recurring themes like regret, dreams, duality, and self-discovery. We also discuss the symbolism in both the Demian and the WINGS album, including references to chocolate, absinthe, and Dante’s Beatrice.
BTS: Who is Jung Kook
I’m writing this blog post while feeling deprived of quality time with the one and only Jeon Jung Kook. I got so used to spending time with him on his live streams, but now that he is away, a happy part of my life seems to be missing. Luckily, we can go back and watch his recordings anytime we want until Jung Kook returns to us in June of 2025.
BTS: Who is V?
Kim Taehyung, the man behind the stage name "V," is a force to be reckoned with. Born on December 30, 1995 (the same year as his fellow 95 liner, Jimin), in Daegu, South Korea (the same hometown as Suga), V's journey to stardom began with a deep-seated passion for music and performance, and although he attended the try-out to support a friend, it was Tae who was pulled from the crowd and asked to audition. And whoever spotted him - the world would like to thank you.
Demian: The backdrop of BTS’ Wings | Part I
In BTS's album WINGS, there are many references to the book Demian: The Story of Boyhood. This blog post explores the connection between the two. The book is about a boy named Sinclair who loses his childhood innocence and goes on a journey of self-discovery. The album WINGS is full of symbolism that reflects these themes, such as good vs. evil, temptation, and sin.
BTS: Who is Jimin?
I could start and end with just that sentence alone, and anyone who has watched this man over the last ten-plus years would agree. He's an angel on earth. A place of safety, acceptance, and pure love for many. And everyone who has been exposed to THE Park Jimin agrees that once you JimIN, you can't JimOut.
Bangtan Iconic Moments: Part I
As ARMY Project 529 progressed week by week, we realized that Baby ARMY might hear more seasoned ARMY use phrases or acronyms referring to a very specific time/place/look for BTS, and perhaps be confused. What in the heck is an "Eyedrop Jin"? Who exactly is "Kitty Gang Jimin"? Well, buckle up my ARMY friends, because this is Part 1 of a guided tour of Bangtan's most iconic looks!
BTS: Who is j-hope?
I have to warn you: if you’re here to satisfy your curiosity about the one and only j-hope of BTS, you’ve entered the rabbit hole, and there’s a really good chance you won’t want to leave - especially once you get to know Jung Hoseok, aka Hobi, the man that ARMY calls their “sun”.
BTS: Who is SUGA?
Get ready to dive into the essence of Min Yoongi, affectionately known as SUGA, through the lens of ARMY Project 529 and the voices of fans like you. But first, I’ve got to be honest: you aren’t going to get an unbiased opinion of Min Yoongi. All six ARMY Project 529 Admin Team members have SUGA as either their bias or their bias wrecker, so it’s nothing but SUGA love around here.
