Show Notes
Friends in Bangtan... 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. Are your family and friends sick of you talking about K-drama? We get it...and have an answer. Check out our sister pod www.afternoonadelight.com for more episodes, book recs and social media goodness. And don't forget about the newest members of our network: Afternoona Asks where diaspora Asians living in the West find ways to reconnect to Asian culture via Asian/KDramas.

BTS Arirang World Tour is officially here! BTS kicked off the Arirang World Tour last night in Goyang, South Korea, and from the opening number it was clear: this comeback is everything ARMY has been waiting for (and yes, water is wet — boy was there water). BTS also stopped by Hot Ones to take on the wings of death, and let's be real… did the final two standing surprise anyone? After years of a trickle, BTS content is straight-up Niagara Popo right now. It's good to be ARMY, y'all. Show notes: BTS on Hot Ones Swim Music Video 2.0 Music Video Hooligans Music Video
