WEEK 52 | Rockin’ Around the Bangtan Tree.
Is there anything better than celebrating the holiday season with our loved ones? I know I look forward to rewatching FM 06.13’s holiday specials each year, listening to Jung Kook sing, “O, Holy Night”, as well as seeing him and Jimin do their karaoke version of V’s “Winter Bear”. Also, who doesn’t love the “Please Santa” episode of “Run BTS!”? They’re all so cute in their Santa hats… Oh. Did you think I meant, like, your actual friends and family? This is awkward. No, I definitely meant BTS. And ARMY, of course. Who better to shake some tinsel and deck the halls with? Join us this week as we do something a little bit different. In order to bring 2024 to a close, we decided to compile and share everything BTS and its members have done over the years to celebrate the holiday season with us. From their very early collaborations with other Big Hit artists, to the current benevolent stranglehold Kim Taehyung has on the holiday season, BTS is always there for us this time of year, giving us all the things “merry and bright”.
This year, we watched content together. We screamed together. We cried together. We not only waited out the enlistment days and cursed black-hat cameramen, we also celebrated personal milestones, shared hospital updates, held space for each other when life was heavy, and rejoiced in each others’ successes.
Join us in a look back over the past two years of AP529 recapped by Stefne, through the words of our community.
When the world felt overwhelming, we logged into Discord… and felt okay again. And when the members FINALLY returned, we celebrated! Boy, did we celebrate! If the last two years were about surviving the wait… 2026 is about living the comeback together.
