WEBVTT 00:06.557 --> 00:08.023 [SPEAKER_00]: Consequence podcast network 00:29.680 --> 00:31.440 [SPEAKER_03]: Bora, hey, iconic army. 00:31.881 --> 00:33.001 [SPEAKER_03]: Bora, hey. 00:33.561 --> 00:38.522 [SPEAKER_03]: We are recording separately for the first time in a real long time. 00:38.542 --> 00:40.903 [SPEAKER_03]: Kayla officially moved to St. 00:40.923 --> 00:44.024 [SPEAKER_03]: Louis, and so we're back on the long distance. 00:44.964 --> 00:46.645 [SPEAKER_03]: Face timing to record. 00:48.083 --> 00:59.471 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not to say, Lewis, I'm really excited about my move, but it is a little bit sad to not be sitting right across your living room from you to record the podcast we were spoiled for so long doing that. 01:00.131 --> 01:05.795 [SPEAKER_00]: But it does feel nostalgic to be doing this again because this is how the podcast really started. 01:05.875 --> 01:11.839 [SPEAKER_00]: We were moving to separate cities actually at that time Bethany, you were the one that was going to be in St. 01:11.879 --> 01:14.441 [SPEAKER_00]: Louis and then you ended up doing travel OT after that. 01:14.501 --> 01:15.642 [SPEAKER_00]: You were all over the country. 01:16.462 --> 01:19.865 [SPEAKER_00]: And doing the podcast is like how we really stayed in touch. 01:20.145 --> 01:24.649 [SPEAKER_00]: And so it feels good to kind of be back in our roots a little bit. 01:24.669 --> 01:25.390 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah. 01:25.590 --> 01:28.752 [SPEAKER_03]: This is just going back to how we were at the beginning. 01:28.872 --> 01:37.860 [SPEAKER_03]: And then yeah, I feel like it's continues to be a way that we say in touch with each other and talk every week because we do the podcast and so. 01:37.900 --> 01:38.100 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:38.640 --> 01:47.208 [SPEAKER_03]: We already kind of made an agreement that like on non-punk podcasts, Sundays, instead of research, we'll just pay Simon catch up and stuff like that. 01:47.288 --> 01:50.151 [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, great. 01:53.134 --> 01:57.438 [SPEAKER_00]: So I would just want to say before we get into a bear with me with my sound because 01:58.138 --> 01:59.419 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I have a new setup. 01:59.459 --> 02:01.260 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm still getting it figured out. 02:01.941 --> 02:05.583 [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, and so we'll see how it is over the next few episodes. 02:05.603 --> 02:09.866 [SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully I can get it all, you know, situated where I'm sure it'll be guys. 02:10.407 --> 02:10.687 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 02:11.187 --> 02:11.388 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 02:12.128 --> 02:12.468 [SPEAKER_03]: All right. 02:12.788 --> 02:15.751 [SPEAKER_03]: Well, we kind of wanted to touch on a couple of things here at the beginning. 02:15.771 --> 02:18.573 [SPEAKER_03]: I first need to talk about Tae Young and Paris. 02:19.333 --> 02:22.414 [SPEAKER_03]: He has just been blowing up all of social media. 02:22.514 --> 02:27.515 [SPEAKER_03]: I feel like all of Army have been freaking out about him in Paris. 02:27.555 --> 02:29.135 [SPEAKER_03]: He's been at these fashion shows. 02:29.195 --> 02:30.436 [SPEAKER_03]: He was with Bogum. 02:30.876 --> 02:33.696 [SPEAKER_03]: He's just been ham and it up. 02:33.756 --> 02:39.038 [SPEAKER_03]: Like he just has so much aura when he gets out of my car as I when he's walking down the street. 02:39.078 --> 02:47.760 [SPEAKER_03]: Like, yeah, I mean, his little smile smirk that is just non-chalant, but cutesy and I don't know how to explain it. 02:47.800 --> 02:48.540 [SPEAKER_03]: Like it's just young. 02:49.500 --> 03:03.073 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's like acting shy but not shy like very comfortable Yeah love it love all the content. 03:03.133 --> 03:08.177 [SPEAKER_03]: He's still huge and massive and his skin is glistening and he's just 03:08.878 --> 03:10.941 [SPEAKER_00]: That's hustled brown locks of hair too. 03:12.483 --> 03:15.147 [SPEAKER_03]: And just being in Paris, like it is his element. 03:15.167 --> 03:20.594 [SPEAKER_03]: It's just loves seeing him go to restaurants and just living in a. Yeah. 03:21.195 --> 03:26.042 [SPEAKER_03]: Also, I officially watched Kpop Demon Hunters after all of us. 03:26.522 --> 03:29.464 [SPEAKER_03]: The excitement around it, I've officially watched it. 03:29.484 --> 03:36.249 [SPEAKER_03]: I was definitely slow to get on the train here of K-pop demon hunters, but I absolutely love it. 03:36.309 --> 03:37.350 [SPEAKER_03]: I love the music. 03:38.630 --> 03:45.875 [SPEAKER_03]: I, for sure, am listening to like the soundtrack on my runs and stuff like that, like it's just great music. 03:46.776 --> 03:51.459 [SPEAKER_03]: Great story, everything like you said in the last episode, like I agree, a hundred percent. 03:51.479 --> 03:54.661 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's like begging for a sequel so bad. 03:54.801 --> 04:07.609 [SPEAKER_00]: Also, apparently all of BTS watched K-pop demon hunters too, because like Jim and John Goat just went live yesterday, and they practically sang slash watched the whole thing on live, like 04:08.229 --> 04:14.053 [SPEAKER_00]: singing the songs and I was just talking about how much of a like, travesty. 04:14.133 --> 04:21.578 [SPEAKER_00]: It is that they won't make a cover of any of this music at all just because it can't be the first thing that they do when they get back from the military. 04:22.079 --> 04:25.841 [SPEAKER_00]: But I think that it's just like their little nod to be like, hey, we love it too. 04:25.861 --> 04:29.344 [SPEAKER_00]: And we're gonna like get in this, this trend a little bit of like idols. 04:29.704 --> 04:30.965 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, singing these songs. 04:31.405 --> 04:36.869 [SPEAKER_00]: Also, did you see Jay Hoops TikTok from after Lollipo is in Berlin? 04:37.229 --> 04:38.650 [SPEAKER_00]: I did so to pop. 04:38.930 --> 04:41.551 [SPEAKER_03]: Like shoulders, yes, so cute. 04:41.691 --> 04:44.072 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm like a bunch of the crew there with him too. 04:44.232 --> 04:44.793 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 04:45.113 --> 04:52.636 [SPEAKER_03]: So we're not getting like a full cover of them doing like your idol and stuff like that, but we are getting these little moments from them. 04:53.037 --> 04:55.978 [SPEAKER_03]: Like Jay Hope was singing golden on a live too. 04:56.318 --> 05:03.902 [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, they are for sure like in Kpop demon hunters and they're, I feel like they have too much influence that if they were to do something like that. 05:03.922 --> 05:05.583 [SPEAKER_03]: It would just be like a straight promotion. 05:06.223 --> 05:26.571 [SPEAKER_03]: Like I'm pretty sure that Netflix is a count like change their caption to say like John Gug watched cave hop demon hunters like on their like profile um yeah like they just have a lot of influence but yeah it's nice to see that they're also enjoying it and so like chiming in on all of the just trends that are going along with it 05:26.891 --> 05:27.952 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think so too. 05:28.752 --> 05:33.536 [SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, let's maybe just talk a little bit too about Hobi Palusa part two. 05:33.956 --> 05:34.636 [SPEAKER_03]: Was he in Berlin? 05:35.177 --> 05:35.837 [SPEAKER_00]: In Berlin. 05:35.997 --> 05:36.438 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 05:37.238 --> 05:37.839 [SPEAKER_00]: How cool. 05:38.179 --> 05:39.900 [SPEAKER_00]: It seemed like a great freaking show. 05:40.040 --> 05:45.504 [SPEAKER_00]: And again, he, that man is getting way too comfortable being shortless. 05:45.684 --> 05:46.084 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah. 05:47.225 --> 06:06.373 [SPEAKER_00]: the shirts are getting thinner and looser like less material even the shirts are less material but like completely open literally like a thin like light yellow button down shirt that he just had completely open he was fanning it even more open like kill me just kill me 06:07.053 --> 06:09.336 [SPEAKER_03]: You sent me a clip of at the show. 06:09.356 --> 06:12.960 [SPEAKER_03]: He was like trying to get people to like clap along and stuff like that. 06:13.001 --> 06:15.824 [SPEAKER_03]: And then he clapped his abs for everyone. 06:15.864 --> 06:17.846 [SPEAKER_03]: Like he is absent for that. 06:18.187 --> 06:18.627 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 06:18.647 --> 06:19.308 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 06:19.609 --> 06:22.392 [SPEAKER_03]: He is extremely comfortable being shirtless at this point. 06:22.652 --> 06:23.413 [SPEAKER_03]: We're not comfortable. 06:24.174 --> 06:29.818 [SPEAKER_00]: No, but he drew a massive crowd at Lalo Plaza in Berlin. 06:29.938 --> 06:39.846 [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't see the numbers, but I mean, I would not be surprised if it were more than he drew at Lalo Plaza in Chicago because it was huge. 06:40.006 --> 06:42.968 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the amount of people there was crazy. 06:43.008 --> 06:49.493 [SPEAKER_00]: I saw a TikTok of people, like a guy filming people there, like as they were running by and he would stick his microphone out. 06:49.873 --> 06:50.674 [SPEAKER_00]: Who are you gonna go see? 06:50.714 --> 06:51.916 [SPEAKER_00]: And they were like, can I help? 06:51.936 --> 06:57.985 [SPEAKER_00]: They're like literally running across the, you know, the festival venue to go to J-Hope's, you know, spot it? 06:58.045 --> 07:05.876 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 07:06.016 --> 07:06.396 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 07:06.456 --> 07:07.137 [SPEAKER_03]: Me too. 07:07.237 --> 07:11.200 [SPEAKER_03]: That must have been so amazing for him having done it in Europe now. 07:11.220 --> 07:12.201 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 07:12.361 --> 07:18.246 [SPEAKER_03]: Just because it was such a success here in Chicago, like that was one of the best BTS concerts we've ever been to. 07:18.326 --> 07:22.029 [SPEAKER_03]: And it was a festival like one show from Jay Hope. 07:22.309 --> 07:23.831 [SPEAKER_03]: Like not even like a full concert. 07:23.951 --> 07:25.152 [SPEAKER_03]: It felt like a full concert. 07:25.172 --> 07:25.632 [SPEAKER_03]: Totally. 07:25.952 --> 07:27.453 [SPEAKER_03]: And it was a full concert. 07:27.774 --> 07:29.455 [SPEAKER_00]: It definitely was a full concert. 07:29.515 --> 07:30.876 [SPEAKER_00]: Like you was crazy for that. 07:31.176 --> 07:35.499 [SPEAKER_00]: I remember like he took very few breaks the whole time to them and most work and hard. 07:36.240 --> 07:44.966 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure it feels very full circle for him to go from like Hobi Paloza in Chicago right before he enlisted and now he's been out for a while. 07:45.026 --> 07:47.228 [SPEAKER_00]: He did his tour and now is like the massive 07:47.768 --> 07:55.614 [SPEAKER_00]: Closer for his whole, you know, hope on the street basically is revisiting Lalo Pulitzer one more time. 07:55.794 --> 07:56.835 [SPEAKER_00]: I think that's very cool. 07:56.855 --> 08:00.278 [SPEAKER_02]: We are here to really talk about BTS's plans. 08:05.422 --> 08:07.624 [SPEAKER_03]: for spring, at twenty twenty six. 08:07.644 --> 08:12.307 [SPEAKER_03]: We're honestly going to be talking mostly just about their O T seven. 08:12.327 --> 08:19.792 [SPEAKER_03]: We've heard a slide that they did where they discussed a lot about their plans as a group and what that's going to look like down the road. 08:19.832 --> 08:20.532 [SPEAKER_03]: So we're excited. 08:20.592 --> 08:21.733 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that today. 08:21.753 --> 08:22.533 [SPEAKER_00]: Super excited. 08:22.553 --> 08:23.134 [SPEAKER_00]: Get into it. 08:32.137 --> 08:34.219

09:19.951 [SPEAKER_00]: It was a crazy month with like me preparing to move and everything. 09:20.071 --> 09:20.551 [SPEAKER_00]: Everything. 09:20.731 --> 09:23.534 [SPEAKER_00]: But we will do it

you all for being here for all of your support and of course for listening. 09:33.722 --> 09:47.875 [SPEAKER_03]: So the OT seven reunion weaver's live, they all went live together on July first, and this was, it's been three years since BTS have all gone live together, like all seven of them. 09:48.395 --> 10:07.870 [SPEAKER_03]: and this was the the live that we were all really anticipating post military we had talked a lot about how like oh we versus gonna crash like everyone is gonna be going into watch because it's just it's so highly anticipated and it did not disappoint this reverse live of all of them together together 10:08.630 --> 10:14.515 [SPEAKER_03]: Um, they asked about how to like introduce themselves at the very beginning of it, which was really kind of funny. 10:14.555 --> 10:17.417 [SPEAKER_03]: Like it's just been so long that they were out of the group of it. 10:17.457 --> 10:24.903 [SPEAKER_03]: Like how do we even get into it and then nom june immediately was like, you know, two, three and then they just immediately went into it. 10:25.403 --> 10:32.346 [SPEAKER_03]: And I see a bunch of me not, you know, they like, they're creating with like the gun pose and they all kind of got like a laugh out of it. 10:32.386 --> 10:33.827 [SPEAKER_03]: Like, duh, obviously. 10:33.887 --> 10:37.948 [SPEAKER_03]: Like that's like the most, that's how they always introduce themselves. 10:38.028 --> 10:38.409 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 10:38.429 --> 10:41.450 [SPEAKER_03]: It's just cute to see them kind of figure it out and get back into it. 10:41.890 --> 11:06.581 [SPEAKER_00]: yeah it was super cute to see them like figured out and you know just kind of come back to almost like their conditioning of what they've always done and like remember oh yeah this is what we do like we're so silly for that um that was adorable and also it just felt so good to see like the OT seven introduction after all this time you know right the finger again yeah down 11:06.761 --> 11:33.246 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and then like the big laugh that they had was so cute I Just love seeing them here all together like cuddle up onto the screen because I feel like even pre-military It was rare that we got an OT seven live, you know It might be like one member going live or a couple members going live together But it had to be like a special occasion for them all to go live like maybe they finished like 11:33.706 --> 11:38.288 [SPEAKER_00]: a concert or a tour or they just like, you know, released an album or something. 11:38.568 --> 11:41.350 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, musical words, but you know, it was more rare. 11:41.430 --> 11:43.551 [SPEAKER_00]: So it was definitely a treat here. 11:43.571 --> 11:49.433 [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, we just want to talk kind of about what they talked about throughout and our thoughts on it. 11:51.334 --> 11:56.739 [SPEAKER_00]: I love that Jimin said that he was happy to have the simple joys back in life. 11:56.799 --> 12:12.972 [SPEAKER_00]: Like Jay Hope was like, let's let the people talk who just got here, you know, and what if they've been enjoying in Jimin's like, honestly, being able to lay in my bed and go to sleep while being on my phone is so nice, you know, felt like he was really real for that. 12:13.092 --> 12:17.276 [SPEAKER_00]: And just to have like those simple joys back, like those little things, 12:17.656 --> 12:27.261 [SPEAKER_00]: It makes me wonder too, like in the military, they get phone time, but they have to like go lock it up or put it away or like what they have to do with it at a certain time of day, you know? 12:27.441 --> 12:32.063 [SPEAKER_03]: And so I'm like, I wonder what all the rules and regulations are. 12:32.703 --> 12:37.366 [SPEAKER_03]: Like they definitely have some access to their phones, but clearly like your screen time is limited. 12:37.446 --> 12:37.746 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 12:38.166 --> 12:43.629 [SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, I do think that a big part of being on your phone, like a lot of people are on their phones before they go to bed at night. 12:43.669 --> 12:44.129 [SPEAKER_03]: I know it's not 12:44.469 --> 12:45.470 [SPEAKER_03]: really good for you. 12:45.530 --> 12:47.212 [SPEAKER_03]: They recommend that you don't do that. 12:47.652 --> 12:54.618 [SPEAKER_03]: But it is kind of like something that most people do and it generally can kind of help you start to drift off. 12:54.798 --> 12:55.078 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 12:55.339 --> 13:01.384 [SPEAKER_00]: For me, like I always go to bed like listening to something like I'll have a video on and I fall asleep watching it. 13:02.024 --> 13:07.585 [SPEAKER_00]: And so yeah, I know it's like bad for you, but I've literally done it since childhood when I had like a TV in my room. 13:07.645 --> 13:09.526 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm fall asleep, but the TV on you know. 13:10.526 --> 13:15.207 [SPEAKER_00]: So I love that Jim and his like enjoying his bed and enjoying his like phone time, his freedom. 13:15.227 --> 13:17.228 [SPEAKER_00]: I think that that's really neat. 13:18.088 --> 13:22.249 [SPEAKER_00]: Another thing that we both loved and observed really early on in this live is that 13:22.969 --> 13:26.952 [SPEAKER_00]: It really seems like no time has passed between them. 13:28.072 --> 13:43.462 [SPEAKER_00]: You'd think that there'd be some awkwardness there, but really they're all meshing really well, like the chatting, the interacting, the leaning back on each other, like laying hands on each other while they're laughing about something or getting the other ones attention or whatever. 13:43.482 --> 13:50.867 [SPEAKER_00]: We just love to hear them all laughing together and later on in the live, they commented a little bit about how 13:51.507 --> 13:59.897 [SPEAKER_00]: They do feel awkward like being all seven there because it's been so much time since they've done that and sat on screen on a live to do it. 14:00.018 --> 14:03.462 [SPEAKER_00]: But like they honestly did it super well. 14:03.622 --> 14:07.487 [SPEAKER_00]: Like it didn't say they lacked for conversation or anything. 14:07.847 --> 14:08.408 [SPEAKER_03]: No, they didn't. 14:08.568 --> 14:10.910 [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't feel like there was any awkwardness throughout. 14:11.151 --> 14:15.636 [SPEAKER_03]: And like you were saying, they just seemed like themselves too. 14:15.796 --> 14:23.925 [SPEAKER_03]: Like all of their mannerisms and just their interactions with each other, it really had seemed like no time, had passed, and that they were all just the same people. 14:24.425 --> 14:26.566 [SPEAKER_03]: like seeing dinghy off to the side. 14:26.586 --> 14:31.229 [SPEAKER_03]: You know, smiling and laughing at what everyone's saying, but really not saying a whole lot in response. 14:31.289 --> 14:34.010 [SPEAKER_03]: But like chiming in when he felt like he needed to. 14:34.230 --> 14:34.531 [SPEAKER_03]: Right. 14:34.751 --> 14:43.195 [SPEAKER_03]: Um, nom june being the leader and like really having like the more serious discussions like the one who was actually delivering like informative information about their plans. 14:43.516 --> 14:47.438 [SPEAKER_03]: Hope you just like cracking up flinging his body all around the whole time. 14:47.898 --> 15:02.019 [SPEAKER_00]: getting, like, by Jen and Jen, like, lecturing them or, like, you know, giving them shit and going back into like that young role of, like, just being so silly and so fine and, like, demanding, like, respect, amazing. 15:03.340 --> 15:28.426 [SPEAKER_03]: The mock nays all in the middle German front and center like somehow facilitating most everything kind of being like the icebreaker like me or between everyone TAYONG just so non-shawantly lounging in the back like not staying a whole lot and then also like making comments that like not even the members are fully understanding what is trying to talk about what's new you know like speaking his TAYTA language yeah 15:28.926 --> 15:34.352 [SPEAKER_00]: John Goek was also like very quiet and only chimed in like when he was serious about stuff too. 15:34.452 --> 15:42.900 [SPEAKER_00]: Just kind of like young gig, you know, John Cook little introvert baby who really lights up when he's on stage, but offstage, you know, he can be especially in a group setting. 15:42.920 --> 15:44.221 [SPEAKER_00]: A little bit more reserved. 15:44.862 --> 15:46.103 [SPEAKER_00]: It was just very cute. 15:46.143 --> 15:51.948 [SPEAKER_00]: Also, I just have to say, I mean, obviously all of them looked incredible, but Jim and was killing me. 15:52.909 --> 16:05.672 [SPEAKER_00]: Like the glossy face and just like the outfit and it looks like he maybe has put on a little bit of muscle in the military and he just looked so I was like he was front and center and I was just eating it up. 16:05.712 --> 16:07.492 [SPEAKER_00]: I was like jimmy. 16:07.672 --> 16:08.533 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god. 16:08.593 --> 16:09.813 [SPEAKER_03]: He just looked really good. 16:09.893 --> 16:14.954 [SPEAKER_00]: Like you said he was like really facilitating between everybody and I thought that that was so cute. 16:15.034 --> 16:16.795 [SPEAKER_00]: Like he just sucked into the job. 16:17.155 --> 16:17.835 [SPEAKER_03]: He really did. 16:17.855 --> 16:17.935 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 16:19.235 --> 16:37.577 [SPEAKER_03]: So they talked a little bit more about like kind of what they've been doing, what they've been up to and Jen talked a little bit about his concert at this point and he said that he practiced for two months to learn how to play the piano for his concert and that this was definitely like the most nerve-wracking part of his concert. 16:38.117 --> 16:53.107 [SPEAKER_03]: which doesn't really surprise us just because Jin doesn't play the piano so it's really admirable that he learned how to play and that he spent two months just like practicing these two songs that he played for his concert. 16:53.847 --> 17:14.225 [SPEAKER_03]: and it honestly makes me feel for him even more when the concert that we watched when he went up there in the piano had been switched into a different mode and he said that his head just went blank he had no idea what was going on he just completely froze poor poor baby but yeah the man one of the sound manager people came out and helped him but 17:14.705 --> 17:22.130 [SPEAKER_03]: for him to already be so nervous to play the piano and then for that to happen to him, like, ah, that sucks, you know, but he handled it so well. 17:22.410 --> 17:29.034 [SPEAKER_00]: Right, that's why I was gonna say like the fact that, you know, he had to do that and his professionals maintained throughout it. 17:29.495 --> 17:35.078 [SPEAKER_00]: Also, I remember, you know, in that episode when we talked about that concept, we were like, when did he learn to play the piano? 17:35.218 --> 17:36.199 [SPEAKER_00]: When did you do this? 17:37.020 --> 17:40.602 [SPEAKER_00]: And so very neat to find out that like, it was just like two months before his 17:42.143 --> 17:58.490 [SPEAKER_00]: concert and has to pop off that he's been practicing and dedicating time and also I love that Jay Hope like he didn't really tease them about it, but he was like obviously we share a schedule so I could see it on your schedule that you like have piano practice and I was like bro you're learning how to play the piano like what? 17:58.510 --> 18:02.952 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I just think that's so admirable very cool. 18:03.092 --> 18:03.612 [SPEAKER_03]: It is. 18:03.672 --> 18:04.573 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, very cool. 18:05.433 --> 18:15.625 [SPEAKER_03]: Taeyong during this entire live, his whole job was to just flex his military muscles in the background and then tease next spring BTS plans. 18:16.106 --> 18:20.932 [SPEAKER_03]: He would just chime in throughout the entire live randomly saying next spring. 18:21.332 --> 18:39.744 [SPEAKER_03]: next spring that was his job and the member it was very clear because the members would comment about it or like to cue him like oh this is your cue and he would just not very rudely chime in say oh yeah spring next spring right he just like always say it whenever he wanted to 18:40.484 --> 18:41.565 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah. 18:42.246 --> 18:43.187 [SPEAKER_03]: It was pretty funny. 18:43.207 --> 18:44.428 [SPEAKER_03]: Here he can say that. 18:45.009 --> 18:57.601 [SPEAKER_03]: There was some soap interactions too because I loved hearing not only about Jins concert, but then you knew it was like, oh, we can't forget that J-Hope's concert was amazing and he was just praising J-Hope's concert. 18:57.661 --> 18:59.443 [SPEAKER_03]: And they all did honestly. 19:00.643 --> 19:28.532 [SPEAKER_03]: RM gave Jay Hope a little bit of shit for his gloves saying he looked like a magician or something like that in these gloves But again, it was all like super playful banter like them all just like teasing and messing around with each other Yeah, they talked a little bit too about doing a photo shoot that they had already done and that they were Feeling like they were getting their spark back and they were feeling pretty confident and having had done this photo shoot and had it had been so long and they felt like okay, yeah, no 19:28.712 --> 19:29.653 [SPEAKER_03]: that actually went well. 19:29.813 --> 19:30.674 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 19:30.974 --> 19:31.635 [SPEAKER_03]: We can do this. 19:31.795 --> 19:32.115 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 19:32.435 --> 19:38.281 [SPEAKER_00]: And we wondered if those were the like the permission to dance concert album, concept photos that came out. 19:38.341 --> 19:39.262 [SPEAKER_00]: If that's what they did. 19:39.282 --> 19:39.362 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 19:40.703 --> 19:42.264 [SPEAKER_00]: They did look like new photos. 19:42.284 --> 19:45.627 [SPEAKER_00]: They didn't look like ones that were from like, they were per year. 19:45.888 --> 19:46.849 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 19:46.969 --> 19:49.371 [SPEAKER_00]: So that's a quick turnaround on those photos. 19:49.391 --> 19:50.572 [SPEAKER_00]: And it was really good. 19:50.612 --> 19:54.195 [SPEAKER_00]: And it was so cute to see them all together and just, you know, 19:55.076 --> 19:55.436 [SPEAKER_00]: anyways. 19:55.516 --> 20:01.358 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's where the permission to dance live album that they're putting out here soon. 20:01.378 --> 20:02.218 [SPEAKER_03]: That'll be out soon. 20:02.238 --> 20:04.238 [SPEAKER_00]: I think that'll be very interesting. 20:04.258 --> 20:10.540 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they've ever put out an album of like live performances from a concert. 20:10.940 --> 20:15.901 [SPEAKER_00]: And we always talk about like how their live performances are, you know, like incredible. 20:16.221 --> 20:18.321 [SPEAKER_00]: So it'll be cool to be able to hear that in. 20:18.922 --> 20:24.123 [SPEAKER_03]: I think this is remix is like a fire remix and all that. 20:24.183 --> 20:24.463 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 20:25.204 --> 20:26.728 [SPEAKER_00]: Dude, that's gonna be insane. 20:26.748 --> 20:29.656 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna medley on a CD officially. 20:29.676 --> 20:30.659 [SPEAKER_00]: That's incredible. 20:30.920 --> 20:31.260 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 20:31.421 --> 20:32.183 [SPEAKER_03]: I think I'll be cool. 20:41.250 --> 20:45.273 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, like I said, Jimin is looking extra, delectable. 20:45.994 --> 20:48.316 [SPEAKER_00]: And he did say that he gained weight during service. 20:48.376 --> 20:51.058 [SPEAKER_00]: And like he's just like constantly apologizing. 20:51.118 --> 20:53.720 [SPEAKER_00]: He says that this is like face is looking puffier, whatever. 20:53.740 --> 20:55.562 [SPEAKER_00]: Now he looks incredible. 20:55.962 --> 21:01.166 [SPEAKER_00]: But RM was like laughing and said that Jimin has abs and they look like court on the cob. 21:01.427 --> 21:01.707 [SPEAKER_00]: Like 21:02.107 --> 21:08.029 [SPEAKER_00]: That's such a funny analogy to me and also like I can really see it, you know. 21:09.369 --> 21:16.591 [SPEAKER_00]: Also we missed when it happened, but we know that at some point, Jungkook touches Tae Young's abs and like nods approvingly. 21:16.851 --> 21:19.352 [SPEAKER_00]: It's like, it must be during that conversation too. 21:19.412 --> 21:26.014 [SPEAKER_00]: They're just having their own like silent little take-hook interaction in the background, but love it so much. 21:26.492 --> 21:34.194 [SPEAKER_03]: I feel like I'd have to re-watch the entire live and just watch T-Cook in the background because I'm sure there's so much that happens between those two throughout the live. 21:34.514 --> 21:34.894 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah. 21:35.334 --> 21:36.055 [SPEAKER_00]: They're into shit. 21:36.335 --> 21:36.795 [SPEAKER_00]: For sure. 21:36.815 --> 21:36.895 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 21:37.575 --> 21:39.076 [SPEAKER_00]: I can't keep the hands off each other. 21:39.096 --> 21:45.897 [SPEAKER_00]: One of them made like a reference to RM and then called him later. 21:45.937 --> 21:51.079 [SPEAKER_00]: They were like, oh, leader RM and RM was like, oh my gosh, I haven't heard that in so long. 21:51.099 --> 21:54.800 [SPEAKER_00]: I have not been called that in so long and then they were kind of cracking up and 21:55.700 --> 22:06.346 [SPEAKER_00]: like clowning on a little bit and they called them squad leader to make it more like military-esque and then they all had a big laugh about that and that was really cute and light-hearted. 22:06.366 --> 22:24.055 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I thought it was a perfect transition to help RM feel more comfortable with it too because of course he was so used to being called leader and yeah being in this only military world for so long it just was so fitting and perfect that they're like oh let's just call them squad leader then 22:24.815 --> 22:29.618 [SPEAKER_03]: make it feel like put on more comfortable because you're used to being in the military. 22:29.759 --> 22:31.420 [SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, he got a good laugh out of that. 22:31.920 --> 22:32.881 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it was perfect. 22:32.921 --> 22:39.025 [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, this is just like that really natural banter that BTS has that they all feel comfortable. 22:39.065 --> 22:41.227 [SPEAKER_03]: They all can make each other laugh like this. 22:41.267 --> 22:42.407 [SPEAKER_03]: Like no one else in the world. 22:42.447 --> 22:45.830 [SPEAKER_03]: I feel like can make them laugh the way that they make each other laugh. 22:46.130 --> 22:48.492 [SPEAKER_00]: It's such a great brotherhood. 22:49.432 --> 22:50.153 [SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm. 22:50.233 --> 22:50.553 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 22:50.793 --> 22:54.196 [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so let's get into some of the meat and potatoes of this live. 22:54.256 --> 22:59.600 [SPEAKER_03]: This has been RM really started to chime in and share about what we can expect from BTS. 23:00.020 --> 23:03.762 [SPEAKER_03]: What their plans are in terms of album tour and such. 23:04.743 --> 23:18.753 [SPEAKER_03]: So he personally confirmed that they would be releasing an album as a full group next spring, twenty twenty six with a world tour to follow it. 23:19.413 --> 23:25.037 [SPEAKER_03]: So they said that they're going to be gathering together to work on music and it's going to be their primary focus. 23:25.457 --> 23:32.445 [SPEAKER_03]: So going into July and here over the next couple months, that's all they're going to be working on is music. 23:32.786 --> 23:39.173 [SPEAKER_03]: And so since they were in the military, they just talked about how they weren't allowed to work on anything while they were serving. 23:39.713 --> 23:42.316 [SPEAKER_03]: So of course, they don't have any material right now. 23:43.157 --> 23:47.279 [SPEAKER_03]: Um, so the work has to start right now now that they're all out of the military. 23:47.359 --> 23:53.282 [SPEAKER_03]: And I think it's so great that they honestly waited until all of them are out to start working on it. 23:53.362 --> 23:59.604 [SPEAKER_03]: Instead of having some members start working on stuff or whatever without, you know, the other members being around. 23:59.704 --> 24:05.927 [SPEAKER_03]: So it just really seems like their sole focus is as a entire group of seven to create this album together. 24:05.947 --> 24:08.488 [SPEAKER_03]: It's just going to be so BTS coded. 24:08.508 --> 24:09.148 [SPEAKER_03]: I love it. 24:09.208 --> 24:10.289 [SPEAKER_03]: I'm so excited. 24:11.269 --> 24:14.031 [SPEAKER_03]: And just that everyone is going to be involved. 24:14.091 --> 24:18.514 [SPEAKER_03]: They really honed in on how everyone will be involved in the creation of the album. 24:19.175 --> 24:22.938 [SPEAKER_03]: And it's not like they haven't been involved before. 24:23.138 --> 24:31.303 [SPEAKER_03]: But I just think with all of their solo work, they all have such stronger ideas and identities as artists. 24:31.323 --> 24:33.845 [SPEAKER_03]: So they are going to be able to contribute more. 24:33.905 --> 24:37.648 [SPEAKER_03]: I feel like to the album as seven, all of them will be able to. 24:38.308 --> 24:52.031 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited about that and how they're going to all bring that together and you know, incorporate their new like individual styles that they've developed and that they've worked on into BTS' music now and what that's going to sound like. 24:53.012 --> 24:58.533 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm really excited for them to have that primary focus of like let's just dive into the music together. 24:59.133 --> 25:08.221 [SPEAKER_00]: And then, you know, just think about that whole album creation process like this journey that they're going to go on together with, you know, getting into, okay, what's our topic? 25:08.321 --> 25:11.004 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, what's our focus that we want to get into with this album? 25:11.084 --> 25:13.846 [SPEAKER_00]: And then writing the lyrics, what does it sound like? 25:13.926 --> 25:21.113 [SPEAKER_00]: And then thinking about like the visuals that they're going to bring with it, the music videos, the style, like what's the vibe of the era? 25:21.193 --> 25:23.655 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, like it is, I like have chills right now. 25:23.775 --> 25:25.697 [SPEAKER_00]: It is so exciting to me for them. 25:26.297 --> 25:36.329 [SPEAKER_00]: to be working on this all hands-on also together and like that this is their primary focus and like what's driving them right now is doing this. 25:36.529 --> 25:42.396 [SPEAKER_03]: All of it is focusing on yeah like they have no other schedules which is what's also super exciting. 25:42.836 --> 26:02.617 [SPEAKER_03]: minus jins tour but we'll get into that here in a little bit but yeah like all hands-on deck creative brainstorming together like getting into the fine details of it calis making me so excited like it's not just the music it's the concepts the themes what do they want to talk about what do they want to share with us what yeah what style are they looking forward to where yeah 26:05.960 --> 26:06.621 [SPEAKER_00]: I know. 26:07.501 --> 26:10.864 [SPEAKER_00]: I really wonder if it's going to be a darker concept or a lighter concept. 26:10.884 --> 26:11.304 [SPEAKER_00]: Do you know? 26:11.384 --> 26:17.909 [SPEAKER_00]: Because like we we live for their light concepts and we die for their dark concepts. 26:17.949 --> 26:24.494 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's like they they like rake us over their coals with those ones like we just eat so far, you know, in the best way. 26:24.514 --> 26:27.376 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, and so we just love you so tear. 26:27.416 --> 26:29.218 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's just immediately where I go. 26:29.278 --> 26:29.718 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 26:30.038 --> 26:40.005 [SPEAKER_00]: I think, I think, too, about, like, map of the soul seven, was not fully dark concept, but, like, black swan, like, you know, shadow, shadow, fuck yeah. 26:40.105 --> 26:58.638 [SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see, and also just, like, with their all unique individual experiences in the military and how that's affected them and kind of shifted their perspectives, like, how that's gonna affect their lyrics or, like, what they feel like talking about right now, too, because we know BTS' music and their lyrics have always been, 26:59.098 --> 27:03.243 [SPEAKER_00]: heavily impacted by like what they're going through and what they feel they have to say. 27:03.643 --> 27:06.606 [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm just interested to learn what they have to say now. 27:06.626 --> 27:07.928 [SPEAKER_00]: Me too. 27:07.968 --> 27:08.248 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 27:08.308 --> 27:10.331 [SPEAKER_00]: What is what is it that they want to share with us? 27:10.411 --> 27:10.891 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 27:11.472 --> 27:12.513 [SPEAKER_00]: They want to talk about. 27:12.533 --> 27:19.381 [SPEAKER_00]: They were all like reminiscing and trying to figure out like what their last album was before they all went into the military. 27:20.141 --> 27:23.683 [SPEAKER_00]: And they were like, oh, was it map of the soul? 27:23.783 --> 27:33.267 [SPEAKER_00]: Was it, for some reason, like they weren't remembering B, you know, um, B's a little bit of a lost album there coming now in twenty twenty during COVID. 27:33.287 --> 27:38.090 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, but I think, yeah, their last full album was B, but then they settled on map of the soul. 27:38.110 --> 27:44.072 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, seven as being like the one that stuck out to them because they knew that they were supposed to tour with that one. 27:44.513 --> 27:47.254 [SPEAKER_00]: But like Bethany said earlier, Taehyung had been saying, 27:47.674 --> 27:55.900 [SPEAKER_00]: Next spring, next spring, like all the live before all weaver's live, before they even said officially we're gonna come out with an album next spring. 27:55.941 --> 28:00.944 [SPEAKER_00]: So he was kind of like being the little spoiler boy teaser, you know? 28:01.405 --> 28:14.295 [SPEAKER_00]: So when they were all trying to think about what their last album was, Tay Young said House of Cards and they all like busted up laughing at him and they were like, no, no, that was ten years ago, like what even are you talking about? 28:15.015 --> 28:22.040 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, but to me, I'm like, my ears perked up because, yeah, first of all, I love house of cards. 28:22.240 --> 28:24.461 [SPEAKER_00]: Second of all, what was house of cards? 28:24.882 --> 28:32.247 [SPEAKER_00]: Ten years ago, on a Trauma H. And what have we like been hoping, praying, speculating, like, are they going to do an H? 28:32.887 --> 28:44.313 [SPEAKER_00]: three are they going to, you know, like because BTS put in their contract for this seven year contract that a trauma age had to be commemorated in some way. 28:45.153 --> 28:53.878 [SPEAKER_00]: That was part of it for the tenure anniversary and we this was the tenure anniversary this year and we still have yet to get anything about those albums. 28:54.778 --> 29:04.662 [SPEAKER_00]: And so I felt like as he doing a teaser, like have they already decided that their concept is going to be like a most beautiful moment in life part three here. 29:04.682 --> 29:10.704 [SPEAKER_00]: And as he's saying house of cards because it did come out ten years ago and it was on that album. 29:10.724 --> 29:14.085 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and so clearly not their last album. 29:14.545 --> 29:14.785 [SPEAKER_00]: Right. 29:14.845 --> 29:25.914 [SPEAKER_03]: And Taeyang has already been given this role of teaser, the person who who keeps saying spring, twenty six, like giving us the little bit of foreshadowing of what's to come. 29:25.974 --> 29:32.098 [SPEAKER_03]: And so I wouldn't be surprised if he intentionally said House of cards as some form of teaser. 29:32.198 --> 29:37.042 [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to hold up hope, Kayla, and leave it thinking, yeah, that actually meant something. 29:37.082 --> 29:39.524 [SPEAKER_03]: Like that wasn't just a total wild card from Taeyang. 29:39.704 --> 29:48.927 [SPEAKER_00]: No, because I think that although Taehyung can be kind of off the wall sometimes, I don't think that that's what he was doing here in this live. 29:48.987 --> 29:57.409 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, he was intentionally trying to spoil and give Easter eggs and also I just feel like we are so back because we can like 29:57.909 --> 29:59.550 [SPEAKER_00]: theory, like, getting to the field. 29:59.611 --> 30:01.933 [SPEAKER_00]: No, yes, all the people are crazy. 30:02.093 --> 30:06.897 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, that was, it was really fun to, like, think about that and, like, you know, so. 30:07.017 --> 30:23.731 [SPEAKER_03]: And it's not far off, like, you were saying, because of the most beautiful moment in life and how they talked extensively before going into military about their contract and how it was written into their contract that BTS made a promise to themselves that they would do something to commemorate the ten-year anniversary. 30:23.971 --> 30:24.732 [SPEAKER_03]: And so here we are. 30:24.752 --> 30:25.252 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 30:25.372 --> 30:25.533 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 30:26.713 --> 30:30.514 [SPEAKER_03]: Man, it has been six years since they've made an album. 30:30.834 --> 30:35.875 [SPEAKER_03]: That took a lot for me to digest because it doesn't feel that long. 30:36.275 --> 30:42.896 [SPEAKER_03]: But if you think about it, yeah, like map of the soul seven, especially if they're considering that to be their last album. 30:43.916 --> 30:47.877 [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, B came out in twenty twenty and we're going to be getting an album in twenty twenty six. 30:47.917 --> 30:51.658 [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, it's been six years since we've had a BTS album. 30:52.178 --> 30:56.341 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, it will be six years by the time their next album comes out for sure. 30:56.421 --> 31:00.524 [SPEAKER_00]: If we count B as their last one, because that was November, twenty-twenty. 31:00.624 --> 31:05.027 [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, spring, twenty-twenty-six, but that still sounds insane. 31:05.047 --> 31:11.392 [SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, we've gotten by with their solo work. 31:11.552 --> 31:12.773 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's been incredible. 31:13.193 --> 31:15.615 [SPEAKER_00]: It does not feel like it's been that long. 31:15.775 --> 31:17.336 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I'm hearing that number. 31:17.356 --> 31:20.899 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, how have we had a podcast about them for all this time? 31:21.299 --> 31:21.659 [SPEAKER_00]: without. 31:21.819 --> 31:26.020 [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like we've only had the podcast for some years, but I know what the hell. 31:26.040 --> 31:27.761 [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know. 31:28.161 --> 31:29.081 [SPEAKER_00]: The math is a math thing. 31:29.101 --> 31:30.041 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't understand. 31:30.121 --> 31:32.662 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I like where is the time gone? 31:32.722 --> 31:34.762 [SPEAKER_00]: Like it does not compute to me. 31:34.863 --> 31:43.965 [SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know, but that just it makes it like even more exciting that they're going to be putting out a brand new OT seven album. 31:44.525 --> 31:45.525 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah. 31:46.026 --> 31:50.447 [SPEAKER_03]: So they are going to be working on this new album in the United States. 31:50.787 --> 32:01.591 [SPEAKER_03]: And they're going to do an album camp, which is where they sold their soul focus is on the creation process and to hand pick who they work with as far as writing and producing. 32:02.711 --> 32:06.273 [SPEAKER_03]: So how cool is it that they're not going to be in Korea? 32:06.313 --> 32:12.457 [SPEAKER_03]: They're going to be traveling in the United States creating an album altogether at once. 32:12.557 --> 32:16.979 [SPEAKER_03]: It just is an album creation process like we haven't seen before. 32:17.019 --> 32:24.844 [SPEAKER_03]: Like we've heard of them sometimes working on songs while they're on tour and such, but a lot of times they're in their studio in Korea. 32:25.464 --> 32:32.190 [SPEAKER_03]: But they're going to be kind of on the road and in a different country after they've been in the military all this time. 32:32.270 --> 32:38.376 [SPEAKER_03]: So it'll just be, I'm sure an unforgettable experience for them, like they'll never forget it. 32:38.396 --> 32:50.748 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like they're going to be with Jen when he tours, which I think is super neat that he can like their as a group going to go along with him just so they can start the creation process. 32:51.108 --> 33:10.634 [SPEAKER_00]: And then afterwards it seems like they're going to be like who knows where they'll be in the US, maybe they'll be in LA, like more closer to high America, or you know, whatever, but it's like I've heard that with album camps artists get to be really choosy on how they work and who they're working with. 33:10.734 --> 33:11.794 [SPEAKER_00]: It's almost like it's 33:12.294 --> 33:32.463 [SPEAKER_00]: one hundred percent like their rules and what they want goes you know so it's going to be all BTS we know and then if they want to bring in any other additional producers or writers it's going to be like they have kind of like the pick of the the litter to do that there with all the resources of everyone in in the states 33:33.023 --> 33:34.724 [SPEAKER_00]: So that's really cool to me. 33:36.105 --> 33:48.133 [SPEAKER_00]: BTS commented that the last album that they made in the States was dark and wild and they mentioned it like that it's like going back to their roots to be able to create an album in the US again. 33:48.233 --> 34:01.122 [SPEAKER_00]: So perhaps they'll be experiencing some nostalgia being in the US and making an album and like that'll maybe that'll make its way into the lyrics somehow or kind of the vibe of the album to you. 34:02.062 --> 34:03.102 [SPEAKER_00]: So cool. 34:03.182 --> 34:03.623 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 34:03.723 --> 34:04.563 [SPEAKER_00]: So cool. 34:04.823 --> 34:05.223 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 34:05.683 --> 34:06.264 [SPEAKER_00]: Very cool. 34:06.284 --> 34:09.785 [SPEAKER_00]: Like some homage to like original classic. 34:09.865 --> 34:11.065 [SPEAKER_00]: Me too, guys. 34:11.185 --> 34:11.826 [SPEAKER_03]: Like, yes. 34:11.926 --> 34:12.346 [SPEAKER_03]: Yes. 34:13.006 --> 34:13.886 [SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely. 34:13.906 --> 34:13.946 [SPEAKER_03]: Oh. 34:15.627 --> 34:23.710 [SPEAKER_03]: So anyways, that was a large part of this Weaver's life was them talking about what their plans are in terms of the album and the tour. 34:24.430 --> 34:30.158 [SPEAKER_03]: They talked a little bit about how they practice singing while on the merit of the military to keep up their jobs. 34:30.198 --> 34:34.564 [SPEAKER_03]: You know, they're like, yeah, we're going to say a season with our vocals. 34:34.925 --> 34:38.249 [SPEAKER_03]: Jim and talked a lot about that about how he kept working on singing. 34:39.671 --> 34:43.835 [SPEAKER_03]: This is really their first time creating an album with this kind of process. 34:43.855 --> 34:49.760 [SPEAKER_03]: So Yungi talked about being a little unsure of how long it'll take, but they are definitely targeting for spring. 34:50.200 --> 34:52.862 [SPEAKER_03]: But as we were watching, I made a comment kill him. 34:52.982 --> 34:55.465 [SPEAKER_03]: It'll probably be out for spring or something. 34:55.545 --> 34:58.447 [SPEAKER_03]: Are they going to release a single because they're going to love it so much or something? 34:58.907 --> 35:00.509 [SPEAKER_03]: I wouldn't be surprised if Yungi just 35:02.110 --> 35:03.070 [SPEAKER_03]: Starts off running. 35:03.250 --> 35:09.493 [SPEAKER_03]: Like he's like pulls up his, you know, producer equipment and just gets going. 35:09.513 --> 35:11.513 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it comes up with something killer. 35:11.793 --> 35:25.898 [SPEAKER_00]: The feeling that I get, especially after seeing them all in this live together, is that like they know that basically their deadline is spring, twenty twenty six to release the album, but they, and I do think also side note. 35:26.218 --> 35:41.722 [SPEAKER_00]: that is a special time to release it just because that's when the original most beautiful moment in life albums came out so like if we're running with that theory like it matches up with the timeline to like release it around the same time of year that's really beautiful and symbolic but 35:42.362 --> 36:03.718 [SPEAKER_00]: I can imagine like their creativity going off the charts and like them making this album like the fastest they've ever made one just because of like their at peak synergy they all have like all of these ideas to bring to the table things that they want to do their energy about it is really heightened because it's been so long and they're so highly motivated 36:04.238 --> 36:14.705 [SPEAKER_00]: that like I agree with you I can imagine that they like get it done earlier or that they end up like releasing a single or something ahead of time just because they're excited and they want to. 36:14.725 --> 36:18.168 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think they'll surprise themselves. 36:18.248 --> 36:29.275 [SPEAKER_03]: I could see them maybe being hesitant and worried just getting back into it being a little rest here something but I think they'll be they might be surprised at how quickly they'll they'll take off with it. 36:29.355 --> 36:43.428 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I feel like, you know, maybe in the first week or two, they could feel that way, you know, but I think maybe just being back together and like finding their, once they find their rhythm again, I think it's just going to fly. 36:43.448 --> 36:47.752 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but I'm quickly, they found their rhythm and just this live. 36:47.792 --> 36:49.814 [SPEAKER_03]: I think it was just thirty minute line. 36:49.854 --> 36:52.336 [SPEAKER_03]: Their synergy of being able to work with each other. 36:52.356 --> 36:52.436 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 36:54.377 --> 36:54.898 [SPEAKER_00]: Totally. 36:56.018 --> 37:02.181 [SPEAKER_00]: I think like they talked about how they think it'll be really fun to do this album together after so much time apart. 37:03.141 --> 37:18.308 [SPEAKER_00]: Jen and Helby both commented on how fun working on festival was and like how much they would just like get to set and just like look at each other in the face and just crack up because they just like have so much fun working together can't take the other one seriously, you know. 37:19.448 --> 37:24.810 [SPEAKER_00]: And that just creates such a great environment for creating something awesome and amazing. 37:25.691 --> 37:29.832 [SPEAKER_00]: So they're definitely looking forward to that work that's ahead of them. 37:31.653 --> 37:41.417 [SPEAKER_00]: They got back on the topic of like touring a little bit because they are going to do a world tour after the release of this album next spring. 37:42.057 --> 37:46.362 [SPEAKER_00]: And they talked about like the emotion that comes on at the end of their tours. 37:46.402 --> 37:54.791 [SPEAKER_00]: They talked about Yungi and Hobi both crying at the end of their tours and like Yungi was like with the guitar like just like sobbing. 37:54.871 --> 37:55.932 [SPEAKER_00]: He totally owned it. 37:56.012 --> 37:56.993 [SPEAKER_00]: He was like there 37:57.113 --> 37:59.335 [SPEAKER_00]: There was nothing else I could do, you know. 38:01.037 --> 38:08.623 [SPEAKER_00]: And RM talked about how they'll be crying all seven of them during the first song of their reunited tour. 38:09.184 --> 38:13.528 [SPEAKER_00]: He was singing, you know, some random song, but it was like, you know, they only start with a hype song. 38:13.548 --> 38:19.553 [SPEAKER_00]: And like how it'd be like the hype of song, and they'd be like trying to dance and just like sobbing, because... 38:21.915 --> 38:23.557 [SPEAKER_00]: That would be hilarious. 38:23.597 --> 38:29.082 [SPEAKER_00]: That would be hilarious and also just so endearing and, you know, because it would be monumental. 38:29.102 --> 38:31.464 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure it would feel massive for them. 38:31.484 --> 38:42.714 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, if it's been six years, but it's having the releases album six years since they've released an album, I mean, then it would have been got seven years since they toured together. 38:43.529 --> 38:47.310 [SPEAKER_03]: I think it'd be less than that, just because they toured with permission to dance. 38:47.470 --> 38:50.431 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I guess so, but that was really short. 38:50.771 --> 38:53.311 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's like, like three concerts. 38:53.331 --> 38:55.312 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's true. 38:55.452 --> 38:57.292 [SPEAKER_00]: But so, yeah, long time. 38:57.312 --> 39:02.373 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we're all like, we'll not all of them, but several of them have toured solo now. 39:02.473 --> 39:08.575 [SPEAKER_03]: And so, it's just, yeah, it would be, it's gonna be a huge moment when they're all back together on stage. 39:08.595 --> 39:11.876 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's just, how do they not get emotional doing that? 39:12.176 --> 39:12.376 [SPEAKER_01]: Right. 39:21.803 --> 39:28.268 [SPEAKER_03]: Overall, I just got a really optimistic view of what is going to happen with BTS. 39:28.288 --> 39:29.569 [SPEAKER_03]: Like, I'm feeling really good about it. 39:29.589 --> 39:35.354 [SPEAKER_03]: It really seems as though no time apart has changed anything here. 39:35.494 --> 39:36.715 [SPEAKER_03]: Like, it just feels like 39:37.075 --> 39:57.165 [SPEAKER_03]: We had talked about them being in the military might be a good thing for them in terms of taking a really long extended overdue break from music and general and touring and their roles and responsibilities being in this group together and so now seeing them all back together it really feels like they have 39:57.645 --> 39:58.667 [SPEAKER_03]: seem refreshed. 39:58.787 --> 40:14.247 [SPEAKER_03]: They seem eager and excited and happy and you see this like drive towards their creative process and creating this album together and just again just them all laughing and enjoying each other's company being together again. 40:14.307 --> 40:14.827 [SPEAKER_03]: It's like how 40:15.588 --> 40:31.393 [SPEAKER_03]: it was just the perfect army dream of like them all together again and it's exactly what we thought it would be so I'm really really happy with how things have are looking I guess post military here yeah me too it was 40:31.993 --> 40:36.336 [SPEAKER_00]: wonderful to see them all back together with an OT-seven live. 40:36.776 --> 40:40.398 [SPEAKER_00]: Like you said at the beginning of the episode, it was what we were waiting on. 40:40.438 --> 40:59.910 [SPEAKER_00]: We were waiting for Yungi to be back and then to just see all of them together in a live was wonderful and it makes us really excited for what they have ahead of them for the album creation process through us at this year and the potential of that new album coming out next spring and then a world tour like 41:00.250 --> 41:00.670 [SPEAKER_00]: Bethany. 41:00.930 --> 41:05.673 [SPEAKER_00]: This time next year, we're gonna be in Chicago or something and saying BTS again. 41:05.753 --> 41:08.014 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, um, my gosh. 41:08.314 --> 41:10.635 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, isn't that amazing? 41:10.695 --> 41:13.477 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's amazing, but I'm also just like, take it. 41:13.617 --> 41:15.258 [SPEAKER_00]: It
