A beautiful breakdown of Arirang & ARMYrang by user zarahgeeh— Filipino librarian, folklorist, writer & ARMY. Sharing this here for those not on Threads because this love, history, and meaning deserves to be heard. 💜

(🔗: www.threads.com/@zarahgeeh/p...)
I have been sitting with this for hours now, trying to steady myself because, my goodness, BTS has done something sublime, yet again. Because, to name the comeback album, “Arirang” is not just an album title. And for them to send ARMY a message on Apple Music, calling us ARMYrang is not just a message. As a librarian, as a folklorist, as a writer of folk tales, and as ARMY, this moment reaches far deeper than fandom. It touches the part of me that understands how culture survives; how stories of ordinary people make the fabric of sovereignty and nationhood. Arirang comes from folk tradition. It is not a song you own. It is a song you carry. It is a story you offer. It has no single author. It belongs to farmers and migrants, to those who labored and waited, to people who crossed mountains and borders with grief in their pockets and hope folded carefully into song. Arirang has always been sung at thresholds, when leaving, when returning, when words are not enough. So when BTS name their comeback album, Arirang, this is not nostalgia. This is not branding. This is not a trend. This is inheritance. This is heritage. A cultural artifact brought back to consciousness. BTS is not saying we are back. They are saying we endured. They are saying we crossed. They are saying we remember who we are and where we come from. And then, ARMYrang. That word undid me. In folk traditions, the refrain of song and story exists so others can join in. The song lives because someone answers back. To be named inside a song and story is to be acknowledged as part of its survival. ARMYrang is not a term of endearment. By using folk literature, BTS is addressing us as kin and community. BTS says: you are not the audience. You are not just a market. You are not merely a number. You are part of the refrain. As a librarian, I know this as second skin: for culture to survive it needs to be remembered and to be lived. Because someone must keep on singing, retelling, passing it on with care. As a folklorist, I know what it means to step into collective authorship; to speak with humility, to carry a story without flattening it, to trust the people who receive it to hold it well. As ARMY, I know what it has meant to wait. As a mother, I learned how to hold joy and sorrow together. Being a woman, I know how to sing quietly when shouting would break us. And now, ARMYrang. It feels like love eternal not because it promises forever but because it promises continuance. Eternity, in folk culture, is not endless time. It is unbroken transmission. A song passed hand to hand. A name spoken with care. A people who show up, again and again, to sing. To tell stories. This comeback does not ask us to scream. It asks us to listen. It does not demand attention. It asks for reverence. Putang ina. Paiiyakin tayo ng Bangtan. (Fuck, Bangtan will make us cry!) Not because this is dramatic. But because this is true. This is what it looks like when artists return not as products, but as people. And when they call their listeners not fans, but kin. I am still gathering my wits. Really. I think I will be for a while. But I know this much: To be ARMY in this moment, to be called ARMYrang, is to stand inside a very old song to be held and to belong there. Apobangpo! Purple and true! 💜

Namjoon on Weverse, 250116:

To me, 'love' is still a complicated word. Have I ever loved someone properly at least once. I've been holding on to that question for a long time There's only one thing that's certain. The fact that I still don't know. I've been stuck with a lot of things over the past year. It's gone after a while, I don't know how many people are leaving on the way In the meantime, I'm shaking, I'm in pain We've gone through a lot of mistakes. After that time It feels like I'm just standing looking at spring. This wait won't be the last, But I didn't stop and came all the way here. That's a relief. I have a lot of thoughts, I'll try to believe that I've grown up every time I'm going to fail and make mistakes again. In the process, I'll make someone sad He'll hurt himself, right? But I think I know now. I mean, trying to do a good job doesn't give you all the answers. I'm so excited to be back after a long time My heart is humbled. Even if you catch your breath and choose your horse, it's still rough and clumsy, I don't know why you talk a lot again. But I'm trying to tell you without hiding. Still When good music is made, my heart beats, When I play with the members, I laugh like a child. And when I think of ARMY BOMB in the audience who will shine like a forest at night I feel like I'm about to cry. This energy and heart makes me and us 1 believe you brought me all the way here. Someone is watching Someone left Someone will worry, regret and blame, right? Nevertheless, in some form If you're waiting for us If that's your love I want to get back on my feet a few times. Even if you're stumbling! The way a person tries to love the world. a way of trying to live. If we're all one universe That might be all about the universe. The way a person tries to love the world. a way of trying to live. If we're all one universe That might be all about the universe. That's how I feel Wait and wait. New Year's greetings are late. I mean, I'm going to go further now. Where the sun rises, where spring is heard.-And finally to where you are! It's a sentence of Rilke that's been in my mind for a long time I'm done with the mess. Love is still complicated, Nevertheless, 1 want to say it with a simple mind. I love you ! "Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final."

I can't put into words how proud I am to be an ARMY today. What Yoongi created through the Min Yoongi Treatment Centre and MIND Band is nothing short of extraordinary. He used his platform and influence for such a great cause, and his close collaboration in the project shows just how important

Yoongi’s Special Message for the children performing at the ShiningMINDs concert, screenshot and translation from hser sugatradamus on X.

(PS- The organizers asked not to record the actual performances.)
Yoongi in white sweater holding a mic "MIND BAND members, upon hearing the joyful and proud news that you will be standing on stage to perform, i'm sending this heartfelt message to you. First, there is something I want to say to our dear band members. Elementary school members Gosu, Yerim, Jihan, Doyun, and high school members Wonu and Sihan, how have you all been? This is Teacher Min speaking. Thank you for all the effort you have put into your practice until now. You may feel a little nervous when you step onto the stage, but when I remember the days we spent playing our instruments together, my heart feels at ease and full of trust in you. I have not yet had the chance to meet Sunyoon and Junsok in person, but I have heard how sincerely and wholeheartedly you have been practicing. When I picture MIND BAND enjoying the performance on stage with all your heart, I cannot help but feel excited and happy as well. From now on, may you continue to broaden your wonderful dreams through music. Please know that your teacher will always be by your side, cheering you on with warmth and affection. For this performance, a band with whom I share a deep connection will be joining as a session band. Shinwon, the band master; Jinhun on drums; Yeonjun on bass; and Changhyun on keyboard — thank you from the bottom of my heart for kindly giving your precious time to be part of this concert. Warmest thanks are also extended to Dr. Cheon, Director Kang Hoon-chul, the hospital director, Director of External Cooperation Lee Sangil and all the teams who have offered such generous support, as well as everyone who devoted themselves to preparing for this performance. From the heart, congratulations on MIND BAND's founding concert. May today's performance be the beautiful beginning of a journey where MIND BAND and all of you share your hearts through music, filling every step ahead with gentle courage and inspiring warmth. To everyone who has walked together on this meaningful journey, thank you deeply. It would bring great happiness if you would continue to watch over MIND BAND with loving support and warm applause, all the way along the path they will open. MIND BAND, fighting!!"
