GUYSSSSS okay SO JIN WAS REHEARSING AT THE VENUE JUST NOW???? And there were barely any ARMYs there should I post the videos / share the setlist? Or I shouldn’t share it 😭😭😭
As promised since Festa is over, here are the videos of Jin’s soundcheck the day before! 🥹 He practiced The Astronaut / Super Tuna / Moon setlist about 4-5 times, for at least 2-2.5 hours. 🥹🥹🥹 he’s so hardworking

Some bands have fairly decent screams like Stray Kids, NCT, NewJeans. But when Hobi comes on, people are SO LOUD and the entire stadium goes nuts

Hello! I’m attending MAMA at the moment (photo for proof although it’s potato quality as I’m in nosebleeds). This is true, the crowd is usually silent (mostly Japanese politeness, people are sobbing and emotional). — cont.
CONFIRMED: I went down today again and asked the 1st floor cafe owner. He confirmed that there is a J-Hope popup happening in March, he isn’t sure of the exact date.
HYBE contacted him for it!
[Neuron The Street ARMY Day] Review
Was really fun!! We learned the choreography of NEURON. Neuron (the dance crew) wasn't there due to scheduling conflicts, so we got to train with BTS's performance directors 🥺

Also I borrowed binoculars from fans and I was observing Hobi at the artist seats (he got first row ofc) during the performances/giving out awards, he was very attentive and applauded everyone 😭 we stan a humble king. (He is obviously super attractive and how can he be real)
@epipeny
And yes the cheers you see in the livestream are indeed prerecorded 🧍 people are generally silently watching, we just hear the cheers from the projected video

El Capitxn was so cute he wanted to take multiple selfies and even autographed my D-Day lanyard and drew little hearts 🥺

Sorry this is potato quality lol but the first part of the stream of Hobi’s MORE when he was in the box was pre-recorded. Onsite, he was indeed performing it but he was instead STRUTTING down the entire walkway 🥵 this photo is when he started his performance with the JITB boxes.

Hi! I work for Instagram (but replying as ARMY, not as an employee or cx support lol). Nope they don’t pay for it at all, they’re our top tier partners so they work together with us for username acquisition.
(Applies for tech companies like Twitter, TikTok etc so i can say it)
When the idols went off stage at the end of MAMA, Hobi was the LAST one because he was running to all sides of the stage to wave to everyone. I could even see him without binoculars because he was super hyped dashing around (and he had the obvious plunging v-neck lol)
@Park_Ishu
Celebrities & businesses get in contact with tech companies to acquire usernames, it’s a bit complex but there’s certain criteria where celebrities like BTS can take over usernames (e.g. if someone is impersonating, you can supersede)

You’re welcome ami! It was very emotional 😭 ranging from when Jay (not Hobi) was slaying but alone, from his performances (he was ON FIRE), to the speech (which I initially didn’t understand cos Korean) but he was extraordinarily solemn 🥺
When he waved that side of the stadium would erupt in cheers and everyone waved frantically (even the non-ARMYs, thank you other fandoms for supporting our boy hehe)

They didn’t allow photos and videos during performances so these 2 videos are all I have from the nosebleeds! 🥺
#JHOPEatMAMA2022
And then we got to visit the popup after! Was a lot less crowded compared to yesterday bc today was restricted to ARMY Day + dance workshop participants.
Got to take the photobooth photos with no wait at all
Taking a step back I was in the 1st group so we checked in at 12.40pm. Got the welcome drink and was ushered to the 3rd floor, past the pop store & exhibition. (1st and 2nd floor)

In the 1.5 hours we learnt the choreo in 2 parts and covered the chorus.
They broke it down simply because most people hadn't learnt dance before. It’s so vibey haha.

You’re welcome! I’ve worked in tech for a while, I think it’s something a lot of people aren’t aware of 😄
(Might be a small thing but ARMY fandom don’t spread misinformation please 😭 agencies and celebrities never buy handles idk who started it)
They’ll probably use the footage for later so I’m super excited to see it! In general it was a great workshop with good pacing. Also during the breaks they were playing Hobi’s songs from Hope On The Street, and I asked the instructors to dance to On The Street at they did HAHA
Then it was the workshop itself! We met the Bighit performance directors, and did warmup, choreography, and filming. For the filming they said we could film whatever we wanted, it could be shorts, a regular video etc.
Unfortunately I didn’t capture it one camera (someone else in the workshop did though). We requested them to do it again and they apologised, bc I think they were only meant to teach NEURON and not the other songs 😂😂
Funny thing is I didn’t even ask him if it was a popup, he just told me himself 😭
Me: Hello, I’m ARMY. BTS put out a QR code and it led to this location? Is there anything happening?
Owner: Oh, you mean the J-Hope popup?
Me: So there’s really a popup?
Owner: Yeah in March.
I asked what the popup entails, like merch sales, photo spots, etc, but unfortunately he doesn’t know yet 😅
I’m guessing it’d open when HOTS album/documentary launches! Or 30 March where the ‘???’ is on the promotion schedule? 🤔
Omg I want to add that I lost my voice so I cannot enunciate any of my words properly. I said it was because I was screaming too hard at the concerts and El Captixn told me to take care (in Korean) 🥺
Y’all part of the fun after the concert is meeting up with friends to sync fancams 🫡 especially if it’s the opposite sections look at our multi-view of Yoongi / Jimin Tony Montana 😭

This is sooo pretty and I’m excited to pick this up tomorrow! Thanks
@MariaArtie
for accommodating my request to custom make these 💜💜💜
(It’s a 3D printed mini guitar btw! I’m planning to give it to my Chwiti plushie 🥰)
@Park_Ishu
Just to elaborate (just to stop misinformation), I can’t say 100% of it but buying username ❌, getting contact with Insta/TikTok ✅
It’s nuanced. Essentially if you’re a celebrity wishing to acquire a handle, you need to see if someone already has it.
