JM being busy today

28 September 2023 18:30 or 6:30 pm KST Weverese

IG at 6:37 pm 18:37

We got crumbs from Connecticut.

I do have many questions (that will likely go unanswered).

Those look like sail posts. Sails. As in sail boat or a nice yacht.

Were they on a sail boat, or was that just at the marina?

JK's work, as in he took the photo, or did he draw the whale (?), or perhaps both?

JK's work when? Back way then, when they were having the time of their lives in Connecticut (having their shits and giggles there and then), or did JK draw that amazing drawing (Lol) just seconds before JM posted it for us (having shits and giggles reminiscing)?

Like I said, many questions.

Jimin's Post ❇️

안녕하세요 여러분들 지민입니다. 드디어 저의 두번째 앨범 "MUSE"가 나왔습니다! 기다려주시고 응원해주신 모든 아미여러분들께 진심으로 감사드립니다 정말 얼른 들려드리고 ���어서 빨리 나오기를 간절히 빌었었는데 드디어 나와서 정말 기쁩니다 ㅎㅎ 음 여러분들께 자랑도 하고 싶고 그리고 엘범에 대해서 얘기도 정말 많이 나누고도 싶었지만 지금 신분은 군인이라 아무래도 sns를 조심하게 되었었습니다. 기다리게해서 항상 미안하고 감사드립니다. 저는 군생활 열심히 잘 하고 있으니 아무걱정 마시고 여러분들도 항상 몸 건강 잘 챙기고 계시길 바라겠습니다. (여름이니 물을 많이 마셔야해요!!) (저녁에 에어컨이나 선풍기도 너무 세게 하지 마시구요! 더위도 조심 하셔야해요!!) 아무튼…ㅎㅎ 저는 이만 가볼게요 ! 노래 즐겁게 들어주셔서 감사하고 이 다음에는 더욱 멋있는 노래와 무대 가지고 오겠습니다 언제나 사랑하고 사랑하고 또 사랑합니다 아미여러분 💜

Hello ARMY, this is Jimin. My second album "MUSE" is finally out! I am sincerely grateful to all ARMYs for waiting and showing your support for this album

I really wanted you to be able to hear it soon and I was hoping desperately that it would come out quick, so now that it's finally out, I'm really happy hehe

So, well, I wanted to be able to show it off to you guys and also share a lot of things about the album, but since I'm currently in the position of a military officer, I've become a bit careful in my use of social media. I am always both sorry and grateful for making you wait.

I am doing well in the military, so you have absolutely nothing to worry about. I hope that you guys are always well and taking good care of your health. (It's summer so you have to drink lots of water!!) (And don't have the aircon or fan on too high in the evening! Even though it's hot, you have to be careful!!)

Anyway… haha I'll be off now ! Thank you for enjoying the song, I'll be back with an even cooler song and performance next time I love you, love you, and love you more, always ARMY💜

I knew this is what these assholes will say as soon as I saw the he insisted part

There’s one thing I don’t understand, Taehyung can’t join them in Jeju but Jikook can spend all episode one talking about Taehyung and bringing up his name everytime they were not talking about the only topic they had (food)?

They have bigger things to worry about, like for example Jimin and Jungkook saying that even when they were free they never met or called each other 🤷🏻‍♀️ Needed a show to meet after months but you’re on twitter worrying that Tae wanted to go to Jeju when both of your favs can’t go one hour without missing him.

Everyone deserves a friend like Jimin. When Jin enlisted, he changed his Weverse profile picture to one of him with Jin, and now he’s updated it again, adding a new photo of Jin and including the title of Jin’s latest song in his bio. Jimin is an incredible friend.

JM post 13 September 2023

6:07 pm KST

So, in the morning we got JK and this evening we are getting JM. A post, replies to fans and Jin that also joined the conversation.

And the conversation that ensued.

And.

All this talk about spicy food.

Did someone develop an appetite? For something spicy and hot?

Anyways, the 13 pattern is continuing with JM's post as well.

6:07 pm 13.09.23

All numbers lead to 13.

We can also get more if we only look.

18:07 13.09.23

8 and 1+7+3=11 and 1+9+2+3=15

8/11/15

Oh, and of course we have the whole day counting that worked for JK and works for JM's post as well.

So, when JK posted today was it a coincidence?

And JM posting as well today, a coincidence as well?

[jimimn]

my heart is so full 😭😭😭😭 (transl. cr. btsinthemoment, ryuminating, haruharu_w_bts)

[sweetjikook]

These sweet babies! Jimin's letter touched my heart, as always so sweet and kind.

And so glad JK left a message to ARMY too 😍

AYS Behind the scenes: behind the paywall

Now that the Disney+ episodes are complete (sob), my attention is firmly fixed on my mailbox as I wait impatiently for the AYS photobook and QR code.

I was always going to buy the Jikook photobook, even though I doubt there will be much we haven't already seen in the episodes. But the inclusion of the QR code was the clincher.

I must admit, Hybe locking up the behind the scenes for AYS was not on my bingo sheet.

Making behind/additional clips available on Bangtan TV would have been more in line with their regular MO. We don't generally have to pay for what really amounts to outtakes.

Okay, yes, we have to pay for behind cuts of Run BTS, but the actual episodes are free. With everything else the behind clips are included when you buy the series (I'm thinking of BV, ITS, and concert boxed sets).

In fact I can't think of any other time a behind/ bonus clip hasn't been available to fans who pay for the main content.

Maybe it is because Hybe was only contracted to deliver 8 episodes to Disney+ and the price was fixed. Maybe they saw an easy way to make the series more profitable.

We know they will take any opportunity to lighten our wallets.

But I think there's more to it

Let's talk business:

If Hybe wanted to make money from this, having the sale point directly on Weverse would make more sense. That way anyone could buy it any time without having to buy the photobook as well. Even if they charged just a few $$ for these extra clips, the return could be substantial over time. Long tail products can be very lucrative and Hybe clearly knows this - they have heaps of old footage for sale on Weverse. Since they're hosting the content already, it makes sense to keep that 'buy now' button active and let the dollars trickle in.

So why reduce the potential pool of buyers? Why limit this to those who buy the photobook??

Well, let's consider who is going to buy the photobook?

Who is going to fork out US$28 plus postage for a keepsake of these two on their third honeymoon?

I doubt OT7 ARMYs would buy it. Even ARMYs who bias JM or JK - if they aren't part of the SGMB they probably don't want it either.

Solos sure as hell don't want it - they are probably wishing the whole thing never happened... sucks to be them haha

Who really wants to see these two living their best lives together?

We do!

And by we, I mean Jikook supporters.

People who want to see more of this:

and this

And this

We are the people who will buy this photobook (and probably never look at it more than once, let's be honest)

But let's get back to the topic at hand....

The photobook/behind combo seems like a chicken/egg situation to me.

Which came first - as a concept - the photobook or the behind clips?

Did they decide to offer a photobook, and then think of adding the extra footage to make it more appealing?

Or vice versa?

Did they decide to make the behind clips, and think of the photobook afterwards?

Hard to say, since behind clips have always been a thing and recently Hybe is putting out photobooks for everything.

But I think I have a fair idea

Consider the price point for this photobook - it's the same price as most of the others produced recently: +-US$28.

AYS photobook & behind is the same price as the Photo-Folios, Tae's Type 1 (magazine version) photobook, and the Beyond The Stage photobook

🗣 So they aren't charging any extra for the behind footage?

No, they aren't. They're basically giving it to the buyers of the photobook as a gift.

🗣 Could they be making money off it?

Yes, the could.

Long tail, remember?

Looking at the profit-making potential, it makes WAY more sense for Hybe to offer the behind footage on Weverse for a few meagre dollars and... wait for their ship to come in...

See what I did there? hahahhaha (laughing by myself)

They really aren't making any money off this!

how unlike Hybe...

So why go to the effort of setting up QR codes and putting it behind a paywall? It costs money to host content this way. They are in fact SPENDING money to bring us this footage.

Not only through the hosting costs there are also production costs to consider.

Wouldn't it make more sense to just freely share it with ARMY via Bangtan TV? Or not release it at all?

Yes, it would...

So there's only one logical answer...

Hybe has chosen to make the content available - but also make it just that little bit more difficult to access.

This whole exercise seems to be about releasing additional footage without releasing it to the general public. It's being shared specifically with those of us who support them.

Does that mean we'll see slightly more personal content?

Maybe it's a little more revealing of their undeniable bond and their hot chemistry...?

Whatever they contain, these behind clips are definitely for a limited audience - and purposefully so.

The only reason for it, that I can think of, is to safeguard Jimin and Jungkook from too much scrutiny and criticism - from within the fandom (unfortunately) and outside of it.

We will find out in a few days I guess.

In the meantime, I'm camped out by my mailbox
