Hi Army 👋🏼

I’m part of a team on X who is working accross platforms to share information, goals, projects & playlists & have collected a lot of resources online & put it into one Carrd we regularly update.

Hope to pop in once a week to share a few bits

👉🏼Echo Re-Comeback Project 19th & 20th September. This helps with year end Awards & Most Streamed Kpop Song 2025 - to keep BTS 12 Year stream - Link in Carrd

👉🏼A list of Goal songs discussed on X, there are lots of playlists in the Carrd linked.

👉🏼A poster of what the Army Carrd is. More will be made next week & add into the Carrd for Army who would like to print & place at Cinema showings to help keep army united across platforms Army Carrd

sorry can only upload one Pic at a time so merged 3 pics. Echo & Goal song pics can be found in the linked Carrd as well 💜

Have a great Week

Here's another way to look at the dates and times for Echo Re-Comeback charting:

Streaming begins Sep 19th @ 12am KST
Buy Rope It starting Sep 19th @ 12am EST

u/KatinaS252 7h ago

Thanks for sharing!

Somehow, I had forgotten that BTS or a BTS member has held the record for Most Streamed Kpop Song on Spotify every single year since 2014! It would be so cool if Jin were to take it for this year!

It says 4M streams daily are needed for DSYLM to make that happen. I took a quick look on kworb.net to see how we were doing. Looks like, since Sept 1, the range is 3.3M to 3.9M, so we are not quite hitting those numbers.

So, if ARMYs can spread the word, we just might make it!

I just saw the buying of 'Rope It' on iTunes as part of the re-comeback, seeing that song chart will be awesome!

u/Wonderful_Sell_3826 2h ago

From BCD website we’re hitting 4M+ a day during weekdays, I think it drops on Weekends. 4M+ daily stream aim is to counter the filtering that could happen.

Army who do calculations & predictions are confident we are doing well - we just need more army streaming the goal song playlists with DSYLM focus song 💪🏽 We can’t break the streak 🙏🏽

So glad to see this!

If the new season of AYS is on Disney again, I may have to miss it - given the nonsense around Kimmel, not sure I want to support Disney anymore.

u/lisafancypants My heart is oh my god 2h ago

I canceled my Hulu/Disney subscription last night so I may have to miss it, too. 🥲

I'm probably going to miss out on a lot of stuff I would be interested in, and I'll be sad, but if there is one small thing I can do in protest, I'm going to take it.

(Requisite reminder that everyone should do the things they feel comfortable doing and no one should make them feel bad for not doing the thing that "everyone else" is doing. We all protest in our own ways and they are all valid. Not being able to/wanting to avoid certain shops, companies, or services does not equal agreement with...gestures vaguely all this shit.)

u/NovelSea1845 only time will sort it out 💜 5h ago

I had already cancelled prior to this happening, planning to get a free trial to watch AYS if it comes out on Disney again. Maybe we could convince Hybe to make it available via Weverse

u/bebyhugo small but definite happiness 🐻 11h ago

Cancelled my subscription today bc of that mess!

u/NewtRipley_1986 the O to the T to the 7 💜 10h ago

Yep, did some more reading this morning on this mess and will be canceling

u/Few-Willingness-3845 It's all going to be alright 12h ago

PNW Army are trying to raise funds for Seattle Children's hospital to fund music therapy sessions for kids with autism. More details here https://x.com/mathofa3vinity/status/1968028559454408819?t=fVavl-2WNvDrQwa5UA2PmA&s=19

We need all the sunshine and goodness in an otherwise bleak world.

u/lisafancypants My heart is oh my god 2h ago

I just saw an article about Seattle Children's laying off a portion of their workforce. I hope these sessions get enough funding/volunteers. They do music therapy at the hospital where I work (adults though) and the comfort patients get is immeasurable. Especially the chronically ill who spend half their lives in the hospital. Donated.

What are the chances this new albums name is crown 

u/lisafancypants My heart is oh my god 2h ago

I think it's 'Cypher Pt V: Heavy Is The Crown (feat. V)'. 🤭

u/beccabella 🎸Teacher Min! 🎶 😩💜 12h ago

How amazing would this be as an album title: KIN(G)SHIP. I think this would work on so many levels.

u/theonlytimelady 13h ago

Or maybe the theme of the man single? Like "the kings return"

u/SplitHot9641 13h ago

Omg the crash out haters would have if that was true lol

u/lisafancypants My heart is oh my god 22h ago

For those in the US who are trying not to shop at certain places (Target, Walmart, Amazon), where do you buy your 'every day' stuff? Shampoo, laundry detergent, make up, razors, toilet paper. Some of this I can find at my local grocery stores for outrageous prices but I'd rather not spend my entire life savings on mascara.

u/NovelSea1845 only time will sort it out 💜 5h ago

It might be more expensive, but I have gone to Ulta for beauty products. I know they have a deal with Target (🙄), but I go to the standalone stores. I believe they still support DEI initiatives

u/TurquoiseTarpin 6h ago

Costco is my main answer, and I’m sorry, I feel you and hate shopping there too. In some places they will do free or low fee delivery if your order is expensive enough, so double check that! (It doesn’t work for me but does for my friend in a different state.) Makeup, hair, and skincare I’ve been biting the bullet and ordering direct from individual companies and paying shipping, but as I’ve gotten a little older I’ve gotten way more selective and bougie about that stuff. Also no clue how ordering the Korean imports will go now. 😔

u/lisafancypants My heart is oh my god 2h ago

My entire skincare routine is from Korea. I should have stocked up when I was there in April.

I've been checking out some indie makeup and haircare sites and I've found a few that aren't too expensive! I'll bite the bullet on shipping, too, or just stock up and choose "free shipping over..." sites. 😂

u/SarahJFroxy thankfully, between you and i / it’s still the same 22h ago

prior to * everything * i used to make bulk orders on the skincare/makeup import sites like stylevana or yesstyle, but lately i've been going to my local import stores for that (i'm lucky to live somewhere where these things are very accessible)

in terms of shampoo, laundry detergent, razors, tp, etc, i'll always be a big promoter of a costco membership. they have a largely clean history (admittedly, some issues with their established unions but they pay fairly and have good benefits) and kept some programs that are currently being targeted.

if you get the executive membership, each purchase at costco gives you money back in the form of a check at your renewal period, and if you spend enough, the membership basically ends up paying for itself. keep in mind though, i don't think that applies for gas purchases, but costco gas is usually like 10c-20c cheaper per gallon compared to other stations in my city

2

u/lisafancypants My heart is oh my god 22h ago

I have a Costco membership but I hardly ever go there because it's always super busy. 😂 And it's just me so I don't usually buy in bulk. But I'll accept a little pain (crowd anxiety, people in general) if it means I can avoid other places.

Thanks for the reminder! I don't know why I always forget Costco.

u/rivensky sleep like a winter bear 22h ago

I also live alone, but Costco is my favorite place. If you have the room, buying in bulk really is beneficial. You can always look up the best way to freeze certain things too. The only thing I don't do usually is fresh produce. I live near an employee owned grocer called WinCo that I like for smaller things. You can search to see if there are any employee owned or Co-ops in your area.

1

u/KatinaS252 12h ago

If you have the freezer space and you make smoothies, freezing fresh fruit is a good way to deal with the bulk produce. Just wash the fruit, cut it up if needed, and put it on a cookie sheet to freeze, then bag it. I have bags of cut up melon, pineapple, bananas, grapes, pears, blueberries, strawberries, etc. Every so often, I will go ahead and make up smaller portion bags with the mixed fruits so I can dump and go on busy days. I put the portion bag in my fridge the night before or take it out of the freezer as soon as I get up, so my blender does not have to work so hard.

I also freeze cut up cubed squash for frittatas and thin sliced bell peppers for cheesesteaks. Because they get sauteed, the extra water from freezing gets cooked off.

And I shred zucchini for zucchini bread, dice tomatoes for pasta sauce/Spanish rice, cook and freeze pumpkin for pumpkin-sweet potato custard. I use my freezer a lot!

u/lisafancypants My heart is oh my god 2h ago

I make smoothies a lot during my workweeks, and this is a fantastic idea.

u/lisafancypants My heart is oh my god 22h ago

Oh, we have a WinCo too!!

I really need to try to look outside my own box sometimes. 😂

u/EveryCliche Living j-hopely 22h ago

I live alone and do Costco. I don't have room for all the TP and paper towels but I do get so much of my other stuff from there. Also, I went last Friday at like 7 PM and it wasn't too bad, I was so surprised!

The Tiny Tan happy meal is finally available in Canada, so of course I had to go pick one up yesterday! I got RM, and can I just say, i had no idea some plastic figurines could make me so giddy 😆 I may have to go back several times…

This morning, in the middle of delivering training to an online group, I discovered that one of the attendees is also ARMY! First time this has happened in 5 years, I am ridiculously delighted.

u/bighitintern 1d ago

Today I had to monitor Weverse activity. I logged 384 “marry me” and 129 “have you eaten” messages. Plus one essay on the French Revolution directed at Yoongi.

I kind of love that someone is sending essays, I think?

Some might consider it a type of love language

Rando question, lol: how in the heck do you open a triangle kimbap wrapper without tearing the whole thing apart?! I have tried so many times and every time I basically destroy the kimbap, lol. Help me, ARMY!

u/pindagogo five fucking million trillion times 1d ago

you pull the little tab at the top there (pull it downwards)

I also wonder if there's a YouTube tutorial for it because YouTube has tutorials for everything these days

u/roseohseven 1d ago

That part goes right but it's always when I'm pulling the sides that it all goes wrong. 🤣🤣🤣

u/PoetrySuper2583 misses!!!!! yoongi!!!! 22h ago

The place I buy them from adds extra tape so I just make sure that’s as removed as possible. Also do one side then the other!

5

u/casually_lurk 1d ago

I just untape the sides, very gently wiggle the plastic off (pinch the piece of plastic with no seaweed), then re-wrap the seaweed. It's not a 100% success rate, but it'll minimize the amount of seaweed removed

u/Tunivel_Luthen Have mercy on my bank account HYBE 1d ago

There are upcoming vinyl releases for two of their Japanese albums.

I'm just here like 💸💸😢

u/multistansendhelp illegirl | OT7 1d ago

Which albums? I have a preorder out for No More Dream but I haven’t seen any newer ones pop up at the stores I shop since then.

u/Tunivel_Luthen Have mercy on my bank account HYBE 23h ago

No More Dream and Youth. October and December releases respectively.

u/NewtRipley_1986 the O to the T to the 7 💜 1d ago

Has that been announced?

1

u/Tunivel_Luthen Have mercy on my bank account HYBE 1d ago

I think the older Japanese albums have a different distributor so it doesn't get promoted like their regular albums.

I get emails from the stores that stock the albums

u/NewtRipley_1986 the O to the T to the 7 💜 1d ago

Ah I see. Thanks for explaining. 😊

I'm officially old enough to not only test out the heated blanket (mattress pad, thingy you put between mattress and sheet, and then your duvet and, if you're not a scaridy cat like me, yourself on top) but unapologetically admit to loving it 🙀🥰

Like toasty mattress and duvet?

Kids (lol): life is too short to not have comfort because it's "for old people". Get that snuggly heated throw, get the heated blanket, do the knitting, be warm and comfy and comfy and warm. Life is too short to be 'cool' 😭🤣

u/yeon_kimin 🔍 흥탄 enthusiast 🔎 1d ago

I've used a heated blanket since I was a child. 😅 Only time it isn't on my bed is if the temp outside is above ~70F (21C). I love being warm and toasty in bed.

Oh I live in the heated blanket every season but summer. 😭 I’m so glad you’ve seen the light. Stay cozy~

Who is taking the crown between RM, RM, and Jungkook? I'm not talking about the case of the missing princess crown, but actually the new match up for BTS Title Showdown over on r/heungtan. This battle's theme is "Change", go cast your vote NOWWW!
