Meanwhile, the members shaking the whole world was seen, In the heart of Seoul, within the walls of their company building. The members of BTS were just being themselves - playing around, laughing, and enjoying each other's company. They were not the global superstars that the world knew them as, but seven young men who shared a bond of friendship and a love for music.
They loved their ARMY, their fans who had supported them through thick and thin. But they also wanted to remind everyone that they were human too. They had dreams, fears, joys, and sorrows just like everyone else. They had every right to live like normal humans, away from the constant scrutiny of the public eye.
And so, they made a decision. A decision that shocked the world. They decided to disappear from social media. This was not a decision taken lightly. It was their way of expressing their disappointment over the tragic incident that had occurred a few months ago.
Their silence was a statement, a plea for understanding and respect. It was a reminder to their fans and to the world that while they may be idols on stage, off stage they were just as human as anyone else.

In the bustling corridors of the BigHit building, Jungkook burst into the room, his hands cradling a broken Army Bomb. "Hyung! Namjoon hyung! Look at this Army Bomb," he exclaimed, his eyes wide with mock horror as he pointed at Jimin, who trailed behind him, a picture of innocence. "Jimin hyung broke this!"
Jimin's eyes widened in surprise. "What? No, I didn't break it. It's-"
Before he could finish, Jin cut in with a teasing tone, "Yaa! Jimin-ah! Why are you stealing Namjoon's job? Why did you break this Army Bomb?"
Namjoon, caught off guard, could only stare in stunned silence.
With a pout forming on his lips, Jimin turned to V, seeking an ally. "Hey V! You were there, you saw it right! I didn't break the Army Bomb."
V, leaning against the wall with a mischievous grin, responded playfully, "I'm blind, don't you know!"
Jimin's annoyance was palpable as he retorted, "Argh! How could you do this!"
At that moment, Suga and Jhope entered, their curiosity piqued. "What's all this commotion?" Jhope inquired, looking around.
Jimin opened his mouth to explain, but his gaze fell on the Army Bomb in Jhope's grasp. "Wait! Why do YOU have that Army Bomb?" he questioned, his confusion evident. He gestured to the broken one in Jungkook's hands. "And what about this one?"
Suga examined the broken Army Bomb with a raised eyebrow. "Do you expect me to give this broken Army Bomb as a gift to the Army?" he asked, a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
Jimin, now utterly baffled, could only muster a perplexed, "Huhh?!"
Jungkook, sensing the need to clarify, began, "Actually, hyung," he said, "Jiminshi arrived late, as usual, after you went to fetch the new Army Bomb. Out of curiosity, he touched the broken one."
"And that's when Jungkook started to tease him, saying he broke your Army Bomb," V interjected, the smile never leaving his face.
Laughter filled the room, and Jimin, though glaring at his bandmates, couldn't help but join in, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "So, you just pranked me."
V nodded, his eyes twinkling with humor. "No, we just proved my iconic line. 'Jimini pabo'."
The hall echoed with their laughter once more, the bonds of friendship and camaraderie as strong as ever.

In the heart of Seoul, under the soft glow of twilight, BTS meticulously assembles an array of treasures for their Army. Each autographed album is a whisper of gratitude, every piece of purple stone jewelry a testament to their shared journey. These are not mere gifts; they a symbols of an unbreakable bond, lovingly crafted by the hands of BTS.
While BTS is excited to meet their Army, the fans are equally eager. The air is thick with anticipation. The Army's hearts flutter with a cocktail of emotions- excitement, longing, and a touch of melancholy. They had clung to the hope of a birthday surprise from their belove Hobi, but all they received was a brief message from HYBE announcing a fan meeting on March 1st.
Now the fans are both happy and sad. They are happy because they can finally meet their idols, but sad because they can't celebrate J- Hope's birthday. They have to wait until March 1st. However, the Army loves BTS and can do anything for them. Waiting a bit longer is insignificant for them.
As idols, BTS has both fans and haters, but the most scary part is the obsessed fans. It's a twisted love that knows no bounds, one that ensnared Jiho in its cruel grasp.
A few months ago, V was going to Busan for his new MV shooting. PR manager, Mr. Kang's wife, Jiho, who is also one of the makeup artists, was three months pregnant and wanted to go to her home in Busan. As Manager, Mr. Kang was busy with other schedules, V offered Jiho to accompany him, which she accepted.
Unfortunately, some obsessed fans saw her at the airport with V and assumed she was hitting on him, so they took pictures of them and posted them on social media, criticizing her. Tragically, Jiho couldn't handle the hate from social media and fell into depression, which led to her miscarriage.
When the misunderstanding was cleared up, it was too late. After that incident, BTS, showing their anger and disappointment, stopped making public appearances.
Now that BTS is not showing up, haters have started to spew nonsense about these seven angels again. But this time, as long as BTS has their true Army with them, the haters can do nothing.
Moreover, when the detractors dare to raise their voices, they are met with a force as formidable as the tide, for to harm BTS is to invoke the wrath of millions. This is how the strong bond between the Army and BTS grows even stronger.
