Mods, the screenshot is mine, I have no idea if or how you can link anything to Weverse. I'm super excited of course. I'm cackling tho while I watch the entire fandom freak out because the new album is not named 'MOTS: Shadow'!

the endless theory threads referencing Jungian psych competing over whether the album was going to be named shadow or ego and then it's 7 lmao

[minstradamus.livejournal.com]

yes but 7 in hangul is “일곱” which is said like “ee-go”

[ostsiberia.livejournal.com]

I've seen people make this connection on twitter but...I think it's a tad stretch. Seven sounds more like eel-gobp and everytime I've heard it irl, the ㄹ or L sound never disappears.

[azoarka.livejournal.com]

As a Korean, I can safely say it's not said like ee-go. it's said like il-gob. and Il-gob is used for counting purposes, for this kind of album title they would probably use 칠/chil

There are trailers for Shadow and Ego concepts in the comeback map

How nice of them to announce their comeback 6 weeks beforehand, now all the other agencies will try and get their artist out before BTS cause no one dares to promote at the same time as them. 👀

Armys on twitter already said that they want to crack 4m+ sales this time

i'm ready. i've been ready. bring it on!

Okay this better be good, if I get any more bubblegum BWL BTS I swear to god

[minstradamus.livejournal.com]

Hopefully the bubblegum bts era is over

[jyusou.livejournal.com]

Same, I begggg.

I desperately hope the sound of this album will resemble their pre-LY/Persona sound a lot more.

[aeries-amethyst.livejournal.com]

i guess they wanted to mess with fans by not naming the album shadow or ego lmao XD

either way, i have been ready for this comeback since last year! BWL totally grew on me, it was cute and fresh. i'm gonna need a banger! on one hand, i want them to try something new but on the other hand, i kinda want something like SD, BST, Fire, Dope or NT. Though tbh, if they give me another Idol or DNA, i wouldn't even be mad because they really turned out to be serious earworms lol *shrugs*

now please let taehyung and jin sing more on this album. why has it been so many years and we still can't get an even line distribution when they're basically all on the same vocal level?! OTL

This makes me happy! I am hoping that they do what they have done with most albums have different types of songs from mellow, to fun to banging. I always end up listening to the mellow and fun songs the most, but the banging one's (Example Dope, Not Today, Fire, Idol, Dionsys etc) the performance's are always exciting to watch!

Can’t wait!!!! Everyone on Twitter was so surprised when this dropped lmao we all new a comeback was happening and yet it still caught us off guard

IS THIS A CAT THREAD

I'm excited but please for the love of Apollo, 🙏 no collabs 🙏 not a billion western producers 🙏 let the album be more of my taste 🙏 PLEASE

But my hopes are kinda low regarding two of these things lol

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

I hope they debut this comeback at the Grammys if the rumours are to be believed. That would be the next step in their American domination.

[broadcities.livejournal.com]

i thought they were going to make their comeback in january so i'm happy to have some more time to mentally prepare lol. very excited!! though i'm not a bwl hater by the slightest, i do hope they'll return a bit more to their older sound instead of ed sheeran tracks

[ostsiberia.livejournal.com]

Excited, won't be preordering tho. I learned that lesson with Persona.

[pinklunacy.livejournal.com]

lmao I should feel ashamed but I'm totally gonna order all 4 of them and pile up these 4 plain blue albums on top of my 4 plain pink persona albums!!

[ostsiberia.livejournal.com]

Lol! No need to feel ashamed. Live your best life 💕

[oncloud999.livejournal.com]

hoping it'll be more like bs&t or their old rock stuff (hoping all the recent performances are a hint!) than bwl or dna...

[pwrpuffgrl.livejournal.com]

OMG already!!!

There are trailers for Shadow and Ego according to the release map
