Well, we've made it. Half the world is already in 2026, and your hosts today (Lia and Megan) are almost there. 2026 = BTS Year. For many ARMY, it will be our first big OT7 comeback. It's time to start adjusting eyes and blinking around at this new purple-hued world. Join us for a quick recap on the most famous cat reveal in history (3 cats hard launched this month), and a round up on member news. Also, it's been noted Namjoon can't stop/won't stop referencing Ddaeng. Is our spoiler king coming through with a new year treat? Get in the clown car, baby. Time to ride.

This was a click bait power grab...so right back at ya! Alison, Lia and Megan are here to say "if you're going to go for clicks don't be lazy, don't be boring, don't be smug, and don't cherry pick your hot take data." 

And don't listen to the Popcast episode unless you used to LOVE dating wannabe gatekeepers that would show you their extensive bootleg cassette collections and talk about how they loved a band back when...(sorry this triggered Lia's PTSD of hooking up with dudes that wanted to lecture her on Phish when she DID NOT CARE). Or unless you want to hear people dunk on Trolls 3 or Steve Aoki because that makes them super edgy. Or want to hear how TXT are the uh (checks notes) disappointing Big Hit baby brothers.

Do listen to us though. Because we aren't any of those things.

Okay, while we clearly love BTS producing and/or performing their own music...collaborations are always a treat. From Halsey to Psy to IU to J.Cole to Megan Thee Stallion to Woosung to Tablo...we've enjoyed OT7 collabs as well as when solo members join creative forces with different artists. Today Afternoona Army hosts Megan and Lia unpack the world of collaborations...what do we love, what gets critical acclaim and what do we dream of for the future.

Show Notes (just a small sample of collabs we discuss on the show):
Nick Cave "Where the Wild Roses Grow" featuring Kyle Minogue
Temple of the Dog (Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder) "Hunger Strike"
Cardi B "WAP" featuring Megan Thee Stallion
BTS "Boy with Luv" featuring Halsey

On February 14th, Min Yoongi aka Suga aka AgustD dropped a bomb on the fandom: he's going on world tour. This sent Lia and legions of other Suga biases into a spiral knowing that securing tickets would be tough and the best strategy was leaning into our collective power. It didn't take long for us to discover that suites were available for group purchasing at Oakland Arena--an option once dominated by corporations--but more accessible post-Covid.

And as we  explored the suite logistics...Bryan achieved a minor celebrity status among those ARMY trying to see Suga X AgustD in the Bay Area. The TL;DR is our efforts worked and we can't wait to collectively celebrate D-Day (AgustD, D-2, and all those solos) on May 16th. But the behind-the-scenes world of concert operations intrigued us. We wanted to learn more how things worked and Bryan generously obliged!

It's the perfect book to jump into for these bonus monthly episodes.

Almond tells the story of Yunjae, who at an early age, is diagnosed with Alexithymia, a condition where people are unable to identify or express their feelings (the almond of the title refers to the underdeveloped almond-shaped amygdalae in his brain. As a result, he has a hard time in social situations. Things take a dark turn when he loses his mother and grandma in a violent attack right before high school. It then becomes a tale of how one "monster" meets "another monster." This is a short read at only 250. Jump into the book club with Alison and Megan to hear their thoughts.

Because we love nerdy deep dives around here (and want to keep ourselves booked and busy during enlistments) we thought that for 2023 that we'd read books that Namjoon has enjoyed.

Here's the book list so you can get planning.

Because so many of us are newer, pandemic army, we wanted to do a short episode on the whys and hows of Billboard streaming. However, we also think that loving BTS should be about joy and healing, so it’s ok to start small — or not at all. We’re still learning ourselves, so come on the journey with us!

Lows include: We can send people to space on weekly basis, but Weverse is unable to keep from crashing.

Please note...we understand this isn't BTS's fault and we are so grateful for the precious concert. But as Army knows, these are stresssssful times for the fandom, and like the members shared...we don't know when there will be another OT7 performance. So the TL;DR....Weverse boo, BTS yay.

In June 2022, during their Festa dinner, BTS announces they'd be taking some time to focus on creative rejuvenation and solo work. Rapper/Group Dance Captain, J-Hope (Jung Hoseok), rose to the occasion by announcing he'd be not only releasing the group's official solo album, but also heading Lollapalooza in Chicago. When the news broke, Hobi biases dove to their computers to secure entrance to this historic event. Afternoona Army host, Tonya, covered a coveted golden ticket and shares what it was like to spend a hight watching J-Hope reveal just what he could do when let out of the box. The rest of us marveled at home. No one has ever been the same. Join us for a deep dive into Jack in the Box's release, THE concert to end all concerts, the hottest mullet to ever flow, and why Jimin is the best "ride or die."

What happens when four members of Afternoona Army gather around the proverbial podcast campfire to discuss BTS? Things get thinky...but also, ahem, thirsty. Come for the real talk on why Yoongi/Suga looks so fine in a skirt or how Hoseok/J-Hope works the stage harder than anyone. But stay for a discussion on parasocial relationships and why fangirling over BTS can help heal wounds inflicted by toxic masculinity and patriarchal frameworks. But also, we all want to call Namjoon/RM "Daddy." Also features hot takes on Permission to Dance concerts in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. For all you long time fans, please note: We are all Pandemic Army so still learning!
