BTS reunion countdown begins: Joyful ARMY prepares for OT7 chaos, Suga's smile 'We survived the separation'
As the BTS lineup reunites, fans celebrate with memories and quotes
It’s May, and the ARMY world is purple in celebration. BTS returns next month from military service, and this time, it’s the full septet. While Jin and J-Hope brought joy with their albums, livestreams, and variety show appearances following their return in 2024, nothing compares to all seven members together again, bringing their trademark chaos, ruckus, and mischief that ARMY so dearly loves.
The band members are already counting down for June 13. RM, who began the countdown as soon as he enlisted in military service, shared over several photos that showed the return of his dimpled smiles, something that ARMY had been missing. Similarly, V, who wasn’t going to be left behind, shared more photos of his bulked-up transformation.
Social media is rife with various quote tweets going viral, ranging from fans fondly remembering fun OT7 moments, or individual fun escapades, or duos. You look through ARMY Twitter, you’ll see fans sharing moments such as ‘Remember when Taejin…’ followed by quote tweets of epic V and Jin moments.
Yet, the one who is missed the most, is Suga, who hasn’t really been seen 2023, ever since he went for his military service. It has been a particularly rough time for Suga biases, who are busy sharing videos of the rapper, when he was either being inspiring, or just creating chaos with the others. There are edits, just of his fond giggles, where he is watching the rest of his members, one particularly endearing one being was when he watched the BTS members try to do ‘flying yoga’.
Mischief and joy is afoot, with timelines full of emotional edits or fun ones, remembering their moments on stage, off-stage, or during In the Soop, Run BTS and Bon Voyage.
Some of the most memorable moments, among million, are:
When the members abandoned J-Hope at the gas station. J-Hope still hasn’t forgiven them for that, we hear.
Jin’s ‘if he flips it’, he flips it’ dialogue, regarding V. It occurs when Jin is teaching V how to flip food from the frying pan and Jungkook asks, “What if he flips it?” Jin answers, “Then he flips it.” The line is now ARMY scripture.
Any moment on the stage where the BTS members accept awards and they all pass the mic to each other, to avoid the spotlight.
Of course, Jimin hearing ‘Lachimolala’ instead of carbonara; that changed the course of ARMY meme history for good.
RM and Jimin's cooking fails: You and Suga will never forget how RM and Jimin doused a dish with extra salt, because they mistook it for sugar.
The ‘forbidden word’ debate: Where members had to censor a word for each other. J-Hope, whose word was laughter, got sprayed every time he giggled—and had no idea why.
These are just a handful of the infinite gems. Next month, we’ll hear all the tales in person.
