the release party,, just cannot stress enough how much chapter 2 means to me they’re out there genuinely having fun, showing their journey of sharing parts of themselves and receiving the hype they deserve. bless.
228
the more i think about it,, hobi’s hard-work and creative process for jack in the box has been long time coming and i cannot even begin to imagine how much he wanted this for himself. this is critical for their journey as artists. cheers.
229
hobi hanging out like modern times great gatsby at his party with a flute of champagne i cannot breathe
230
he’s out there throwing out the most high profile party of seoul that’s insane THE GUEST LIST??
231
no but even the photobooth is so cool what do you mean you can be in the box of “jack in the box” as a memory from the party HELLO
232
i’m so happy and not at all jealous that i didn’t get an invite to the best party of our decade. totally chill with it.
233
jimin really got that 7 tattoo at a place where he can show it off at any chance cus the first thing he does when he spots a camera is making sure it’s out there popping
234
never had romantic feelings as massive and out of control as the one i got for kim namjoon i have to have his hand or i will combust
235
every snap of this party is filling me with another surge of envy and jealousy this is not healthy
236
so no the lyrics are insane actually hold up i think this will need multiple discourses
237
intro begins with the story of pandora box in that eery, vintage narration while flipping thru radio, the static and tuning crinkles as the tape flips and it’s PANDORA’S BOX THE TRANSITION IS SO SMOOTH it really were the mood
238
another tracklist i’ll take forever to decide on my fave,, only relatable when you stan people who put out only bangers
239
“noways i like animals more than people”- safety zone

hoseok didn’t hold back anything in this album btw each track is so carefully constructed with lowered walls & armour-less body just like the scorching chest with open-mouthed crevices in arson. with his heart peaking outside. it’s laid bare n burning. it’s brave in wildest ways.
241
namjoon saying he didn’t know hobi would do music like this is so precious to me bc that’s his closest friend of years, hours spent in the studio together, shoulder to shoulder, laughter loud and hoseok still surprised him. he channelled the deepest corners of himself into jitb. twitter.com/joonstudio/sta…
242
yoongi wouldn’t miss their special days for the world and the way he came online to let us know why he couldn’t attend,, even tho he REALLY didn’t have to?? he’s just so precious i can see him sulking
243
bangtan casually exchanging i love yous as a part of day makes me heal inside like the sky is bluer now thank you
244
rest well you absolute precious bub with the biggest heart
245
hobi’s mentality of being completely devoted to his craft that he wishes to step out of what people would define as “comfort zone”, performing in front of fans who are already devoted & in awe of him, to a crowd who might be completely strangers to his art. to “grow” as an artist
246
what makes bangtan extraordinary artists is their hunger to challenge themselves even more. bc believe me it would have been easy to lean back and enjoy the view at the top, especially when their journey to that spot has been hard earned. but their priority has never been that.
247
this “break” was a loud statement on that make no mistake, it wasn’t the peak they were seeking but growth. challenge themselves on a personal level to new horizons they never even imagined before in a very raw and intimate basis.
248
“i want feedback whether positive or negative” is such a powerful statement cus it takes a rly strong person to look at criticism to your craft,, especially when it’s so deeply intertwined w your soul on a personal level,, and see it as an possibility to grow. the man hoseok is.
249
hobi’s post made me think about how yoongi carefully gave him space to tell him he’d listen when the album is released,, if anything he knows these stages so well i can’t help but wonder if he was guarding hobi from overthinking his process or doubt the path in the least bit
250
idk yoongi has always been so vocal about encouraging members to release things even if they’re not perfect (find their own pace) and they’re all artists with their own personal touch. so i wonder if he thought his personal reaction might affecf him in any way
