  2. An article: V of BTS' Latest Solo Single "FRI(END)S" Balances the Fine Line Between Friends and LoversCould this be a sequel to "For Us"? 👀BY SAMANTHA OLSONP ctto
  3. BTS’ V attempts to get out of the friend zone on addictive new single ‘Fri(end)s’ The singer continues the vintage sonic world of his 2023 album ‘Layover’ as he tries to initiate a friends-to-lovers storyline Friends-to-lovers is a classic trope for a reason. It’s a journey full of risk and tension, one in which the whole future of a friendship hangs in the balance. If things work out, great! But if they don’t? Get ready for things to become increasingly excruciatingly awkward until one or both of you can no longer take it, and you become more and more distant from the other. BTS’ V is aware of this danger on his new single, ‘Fri(end)s’, but that’s not going to hold him back from boldly venturing into the kind of romantic territory that should be out of bounds. “You’re in my head,” he croons in the opening line. “I had plans for the weekend / But wound up with you instead.” It’s an innocent enough start – but he quickly ramps things up into a convincing argument for throwing caution to the wind and stepping right out of the friend zone. ctto
  4. 2nd teaser ctto p.s I even slowed it down to see what was I watching...? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Next is an interesting article ... we know the situation so well too. [Grace Kao] What are American BTS Army events like? By Korea Herald Published : March 12, 2024 - 05:19 “BTS finds you when you need them most.” Army, the name of BTS’ fandom, is likely the largest and most devoted fandom in K-pop. While non-K-pop fans may envision Army as primarily young women who scream and cheer at concerts, fans in fact come from many backgrounds. This is particularly true of American BTS fans, who also find comfort both through the community of fans and the content BTS provides. Earlier this year, I attended two BTS Army cup sleeve events in Connecticut, a state wedged against New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. I’m a fan of BTS, so it was easy for me to socialize with the attendees. The fans I saw were aged from about 20s-70s, and at the first event, about half were over 40. They were from diverse racial backgrounds (white, Black, Hispanic, Asian and others). Unsurprisingly, they were mostly women, but there were a few men. The first was held on a Sunday afternoon at a cafe/brewery. For $5 and the purchase of a beverage (to support the cafe), participants received a cup sleeve celebrating BTS members V and Jin’s birthdays as well as other swag. There was a raffle for large gift baskets. Photo cards were sold to support a charity. There was a table where a family of BTS fans hosted trivia games, and another table where a few members provided beads and other materials for making BTS-themed bracelets. There was a large photo of BTS members and BTS videos playing in the background – I saw the music video for “Daydream” by member J-Hope from 2018. There was even a scene from “Euphoria: Theme of Love Yourself Wonder” (2018). I can count on one hand the number of people I know who are familiar with this content, and here I was in a room full of people in Connecticut who knew it. ctto p.s Click the title for the link
