Oh, so we all thought Hoseok only got one Snickers bar in exchange during the teaser? Well, apparently not – BTS will go as extra as making him lie in an entire pile of Snickers!
5. Arrest these boys
…they committed several crimes including stealing the ARMY’s hearts and murdering us with the looks they’re serving.
6. Seokjin? The visual god AND the vocal god?

Get you a guy who can do both, right? Jin’s vocals really did shine in “Fake Love”, so we’re even more excited with what the entire album has in store for us.
7. We don’t encourage cursing but… well…

Are there any other words to describe this? Are there any other words you could say after this scene from Min Yoongi?
8. Call the ambulance, y’all

Legend says that if you look up the word “well-planned” on the dictionary, you’d surely see a picture of BTS.
13. Theorists are on a roll
Sand is often a metaphor for the passing of time (as in an hourglass), especially with regard to eventual destruction (as mountains and pyramids turn to sand over time). That metaphor usually implies the passage of thousands of years.@BTS_twt #iVoteBTSBBMAs️ pic.twitter.com/M52toxERZp

Like we said, everything holds a meaning and ARMYs have already long proven that they are not ones to shy away from decoding the symbolizations behind BTS’ music videos.
