ABND Podcast

A screenshot of a tweet from user @donz1925 (profile name chihiro⁷⁼¹•⟬⟭••ヾ(˙❥˙)ﾉ ⒷⓉⓈ ⓂⓄⓃⓉⒽ •) - the tweet text says "Is this the reason why we have the interlude: No. 29 title? will there be bell sounds in the track?" and there is an image of a screenshot with information about the King Seongdeok Divine bell, "which has been designated at the National Treasure No. 29" and "was commissioned by King Gyeongdeok to honor his father, Kind Seongdeok. Since the casting of the bell that weight as much as 18.9 tons could not be completed during" (the rest of the paragraph is not shown).

Detective ARMYs have traced the merch being inspired by Korean culture to the No. 29 interlude.

There being no credits for No. 29 when all past interludes have had at least a producer credit is a mystery I contemplate with delight and anticipation daily and this would be an incredibly cool reason.

One thing about BTS is that they will absolutely beat a joke into the GROUND, they never get tired of it, it’s funny every time they say it, and we just have to go along with it

I'm so glad that BTS and co are completely normal about Yoongi.

I think it ages me just as much to admit that I can't remember.

I mentioned it in the podcast today - but just FYI: there will be a short break until next episode.

I start a new job tomorrow (YAY!), and because of that, I don't know my schedule yet. BUT I'm vaguely committing to early April 🤞 hopefully that will give me enough time to find the new routine.

🧵 #RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR In Goyang The Original Film Book: 10 QUESTIONS INTERVIEW

Jin (paraphrased): dojeon is just a stage thing, not an normal-life thing.
Me: *says "dojeon" before I anything challenging or scary, because it genuinely does help me get the willpower to do it.*

You do you Jin, but you've given me a gift for my everyday life.

If I’d want to write how much he means to me, it would be as long as a whole thesis… So, I’ll let my arts of his speak.

It's so endearing that "not being BTS" was meant to be "if you could go out without being recognized" and Yoongi took it as "if you didn't have to work for a week." 🍊

New weird thing I discovered today about myself... I'll sometimes say August instead of March for seemingly no reason!?!? Anyway, hopefully I caught all of them when editing, but that was annoying - maybe because I had Agust D on the brain?

His judgemental faces lasting approximately 1 second he just has to let it out very quickly ok

Yoongi saying the only reason he grew out his hair is because his parents like it.

thank you, yoongi’s parents. thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you

jungkook correcting the wikipedia article like "it wasn't after I saw him perform. I just SAW him"

SOBBING WHY IS HE SO GOOD BOY

This is the first time that the rest of us (ie: non-USians) can buy the singles too! Contribute to the charts in your native land!

Okay yeah this is why I hate subs sometimes because the translation can be...lacking in nuance.

Starting to think he’s genuinely going to reference this in the song. 🤭

(Though the subs are really simplifying what he’s saying, I can’t quite catch it all but it’s definitely not just “keep swimming”.)

Min Yoongi looking like the four-time descendant of Joseon queens that he is.

Fuck

My thoughts exactly.

BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG | Official Trailer | Netflix YouTube video by Netflix

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

BTS members Yoongi and Jung Kook, standing in a company hallway, both in black suits, both looking at the camera; Yoongi is holding a red Netflix 'N', giving a very soft smile, and leaning to his right; JK is standing behind him, hands on Yoongi's shoulders, giving a brighter smile and leaning to his left

A screenshot of BTS members Yoongi and Jung Kook, on a livestream in a room that had been decorated for Yoongi's birthday, both mid-clap; Yoongi is sitting in front, wearing a birthday hat, giving a very soft smile, and leaning to his left; JK is standing behind him, wearing a pair of yellow candle-themed sunglasses, giving a brighter smile and leaning to his right

A still of BTS members Yoongi and Jung Kook from the music video for their song Permission to dance, both wearing Western-themed outfits and in the middle of singing; Yoongi is sitting in front, his arms spread wide; JK is standing behind him, a hand on Yoongi's shoulders as he leans to his left

BTS members Yoongi and Jung Kook in the middle of performing at their Permission to Dance concert in Seoul, in the kind of blurry screenshot you get when people are in motion; Yoongi is in the middle of his part of their song HOME, singing into a microphone as he leans over and to his left; JK is standing behind him, hands around Yoongi's waist, leaning to his right and grinning so big and so brightly it could probably be seen from space

just YoonKook things

Yeah my first thought when I saw this was Icarus and Boy With Luv and this is not dissuading me from that...

Yoongi from the Netflix trailer announcement on March 4 2026

I’m fine this is FINE

I'm sure it will be coming after the documentary airs!

2. "true revenge is to be strong. To survive. To protect." - RM wrote that in 2017 and posted it just before Festa 2022. It might be that ARMY who want the cathartic release of a disstrack will need to read between the lines of their celebratory tracks or the tracks full of love for what they have.

I made a Cypher V joke, but I've seen people genuinely disappointed that there doesn't seem to be a diss-track from what we've been told so far.
1. ARMY might be angry about some things, but BTS have, in the past, decided to not address those things in music any more.

Excellent thread!
