To those who don't follow BTS closely... They basically created a fake flower shop for the comeback. That's where all the comeback theories started before bts tweeted the posters. There was a lot of stuff hinting at BTS, but I'm too lazy to explain it now.

The "shop" is having an event where you have to send them stories, I found this translation in the comments:

Quote:
[Flower Smeraldo Open Ceremony Event]
those who want to bravely tell their first love that they love them,
those who are too shy to say i love you to your parents are all welcome.
please send us your story of not being able to tell your true feelings.
7 lucky people from a draw will be able to send their true feelings.
Today, there was a new post on Smeraldo's blog, here's the translation. I think this might be related to the HYYH story. This first customer is most likely Jin because the signature on the pic is similar to his, they describe him as "handsome" and he said "because I want to be a good person", which matches his quote on the poster. My friend has a theory that Jungkook is the one running the shop and he has amnesia because of the car accident, I think she may be right.

Yes, thank you very much, I didn't want to triple post ^^

The album title is LOVE YOURSELF 承 'Her' and it will be released on September 18. There's no details apart from the bonuses. The only interesting bit is that each version will include a different version of HYYH notes, 20 pages each. Also, bighit tweeted an article from naver saying that the album is about youth fallen in love.

It's so beautiful, I love his voice. It's so cute of him to always record covers as a gift to us on his birthday ;-;

The amount of effort he puts into it is admirable. Not only is he singing in a language he doesn't understand very well, he also puts a lot of time and effort into his pronunciation, as well as carefully picking through the lyrics to make sure they match a message he wants to convey.

plus he's just total Bieber trash so I'm always happy to see him cover his favorite artists

yes, he always puts so much effort into everything he does. I really admire him for that. He barely speaks any English, but reads translations of all the songs he covers very carefully. And his pronunciation is pretty decent imo, especially considering he's not fluent.

NEW CONCEPT PHOTOS ARE FINALLY OUT!!!

Version L


Version O


Version V


Version E



Links to the rest of the concept photos:

~~~~~~~~~~


So I just preordered 2 albums from their official link on amazon today. Preferably, I'd like to have O and E - I love the gorgeous flower and boyish 90's arcade aesthetic. But since they're randomized, I'm mostly just praying I don't get two of the same albums, or I might have to trade or sell one...

The L and O versions are so ethereal and aesthetic, while V and E are more bright.. They're really different! For me personally O > L > E > V. I bought all four versions though haha

I hope you get different versions @susiowong

With less than a week until it drops, the album tracklist and covers have finally been revealed

Spoiler:




So DNA is probably going to be the title track, and Best Of Me is a result of the collab between BTS and The Chainsmokers. ("International Pop K Sensation Sunshine Rainbow Traditional Transfer USB Hub Shrimp BTS" indeed.)

also can we talk about MIC Drop coming right after their Billboard skit? I'm anxious to hear what kind of banger that one's gonna be.

^^ me too! Even though it's randomized, apparently Amazon will make sure to send you different albums.

I read that on twitter though so fingers crossed it's true lmao

I was going to post the previews of the physical album, but I was too lazy and now the MV teaser is out!!



I didn't expect this kind of vibe after all the previous 'teasers' (the highlight reels + the album title + the cover/packaging), but I love it, it's so catchy!

I agree! I think this might even be my second favorite album now. It went beyond what I was expecting.

I expected a different vibe based on the teasers they gave us, but after listening to it for the past few days I gotta say that I love the album. The songs are really catchy and I like every single one.

I'm not a music expert so maybe it's just me, but I think the quality of production is so good!
