BTS's next comeback in August ?!

[rose-potion.livejournal.com]

The devil works hard but BTS works harder. The group is getting ready for its next comeback, sooner than we expected (ok than I expected).
Indeed, today, the owner of the Naver blog "Smeraldo Flower" wrote that his shop will open in late August.


Now, what is "Smeraldo Flower" and what it has to do with BTS ?
Well, the "Smeraldo Flower" blog was created in July 2017 by its owner Testesso ("know thyself" in Italian). It's a part of the BTS Universe since the Love Yourself era and basically Big Hit Testesso gives away hints about the albums and let us know about the next comeback (or, as he says, "the openings of his shop") on his blog and his social accounts. The "smeraldo flower" is an imaginary one which featured on the cover of "Love Yourself: Her".
On the 11th July 2018, he posted on his Facebook he would open his shop in late August 2018. "Idol" was released on the 24th.

To read all about the decrypted hints by Testesso, check this out.



For once, all the members are involved in the process of writing, producting and creating. It will be their first self-produced album !
They decided to split different roles between them. RM will be the producer, Suga will create the cover and jacket, Jimin will be the music project manager and Taehyung will be the visual director. He releaved in a VLive he wanted a "home party and casual" vibe to the photoshoots, as if the members woke up in their own room.
As for Jin, J-Hope and Jungkook we don't know yet. Some people speculated J-Hope would be the choregrapher Jin is probably crying himself to sleep every night if it's true.

I'm ready for my first comeback even if they probably won't be able to promote it in the traditional way or even tour. We'll have some MV at least. With Jin's enlistment next year, 2021 is going to be pack for them if we finally get a vaccine. But they always repeat how bored they are so they must feel anxious.
For everybody who feel sorry for Jimin's vocal cords, Jin said in his last Eat Jin, that he practices hard (hopefully with a skilled coach).

I just want a tour 🥺

[rose-potion.livejournal.com]

Same, I'd love to see them if they come to Paris. I'll have to sell a kidney but who needs 2 kidneys.

[cosmopudin.livejournal.com]

Its written n teh stars. Gfriend comesback and a month or so later, BTS comes back lmao

ngl I'm really excited about this "homemade" comebcak!

[aeries-amethyst.livejournal.com]

Now that you mention it, they've been doing back to back comebacks. Because didn't Seventeen just have their comeback as well? This really was written in the stars :O

[cosmopudin.livejournal.com]

Yeah, haha its a confirmed pattern now, that BTS always makes a comeback after Gfriend. All of their previous comebacks confirm it lmao.

I wonder if Seventeen and TXT are now being thoen in there too. Like TXT>Seventeen>Gfriend>BTS

[kcaomei.livejournal.com]

bts comebacks make me so happy (new music) but also stressed (photocards😓) lmao

[rose-potion.livejournal.com]

Ha I bought my favorite versions of the albums to get the least pretty photocards of the bunch... I'm doomed to never get my faves.

[kcaomei.livejournal.com]

well here's to speaking into existence that we both have the best luck this next comeback and get our faves<3

[broadcities.livejournal.com]

i was already thinking they'd come back soon because they were releasing all these random bangtan bombs

very excited for their self-designed comeback! hope they'll get to promote with fans because the on promotions felt a bit empty. nice to hear jimin's practicing on his vocals! jin looked so good in his last eat jin but haven't watched it yet

this will be your first bts comeback op?? have fun!!

[rose-potion.livejournal.com]

The lockdown and cancelled tour had sped them up \o/
I hope Jin is hiding his grown hair and that he will release his forehead for this comeback, we deserve good things.

Yeah I'm new to them (and to k-pop), I watched the Black Swan MV and I thought "oh ok let's check them out". I kinda hate them because I think I'm too old to be a k-pop fan but fuck it, they bring joy to my depressed self. (but I always check how old they all are because I don't want to be creepy)

[broadcities.livejournal.com]

i can only hope for jin's forehead!!

aw black swan is so good! happy to hear that their helping with your depression a little bit :) hope this comeback will be enjoyable for you (and not too stressful lol)

[rose-potion.livejournal.com]

I find the whole comeback thing quite exciting ! And as I live in France I don't think I'll have to wake up in the middle of the night to watch the MV (not that I would do that, I love my sleep). Now they're not allowed to disappoint me.

[broadcities.livejournal.com]

ah nice! i'm also in a good timezone, living in the netherlands, but i'd never wake up in the middle of the night either. the mv/teasers etc. aren't going anywhere!

[lostintheechoes.livejournal.com]

I'm ready for a comeback, a tour and my tour merch.

COME ON WEVERSE STOP HORDING IT AND SHIP IT ALREADY.

[jackieee94.livejournal.com]

I think fans were speculating that Jungkook was going to be the MV Director. I’m still not sure what Jin’s role might be. The Smeraldo merch they had for some time was cute I’m still mad they only had it available for their Korean concerts and not the US.

[rose-potion.livejournal.com]

Oh yes with Golden Closet. Maybe Jin will be the main character in the MV. Fans talk about time travelling, and in the long ass MV of TXT they seem to time travel, maybe Jin is involved in this. (I suck at theories, and I can’t catch a subtle hint even if it hit my head).

[jackieee94.livejournal.com]

Yeah I’m horrible at theories too lol. I can’t come up with them and when I read others I don’t understand them. You’re right, since Jin is the one that time travels he will prob have the main role this comeback.

[aeries-amethyst.livejournal.com]

I figured they'd comeback around August or September. I'm really curious as to how this will turn out if they're really getting involved in this. Let this comeback be the actual bomb dot com! *O*

[negativesunset.livejournal.com]

i remember seeing posts about it being on october, so this is earlier than i expected lol
and i hope they do short films/highlight reels again~

[rose-potion.livejournal.com]

Yeah Jin spoiled the release back in May I think, so fans thought the teasers would drop in August.

[rose-potion.livejournal.com]

As everything on the blog was erased and that Testesso talks again about the smeraldo flower, fans think Jin will travel back in time and that the album will be a mirror of HYYH (why are you doing this to me T_T).
They also speculate the album will be green.


*forever waiting for my purple album*

[negativesunset.livejournal.com]

oooh green...?

i would also love a purple album, i saw so many people edit the colors of the persona album when they thought it would also be a trilogy, like purple for shadow, and blue for ego, and it all looked so pretty~ then we got 7 lol horrendous paper and print aside, I just couldn't fit it on the same shelf as the other albums lol

[rose-potion.livejournal.com]

That was such an odd choice to make the biggest packaging but filled with this... they could have folded the prints in half, it's not like it would have made them even more uglier.

[negativesunset.livejournal.com]

lol but true, like someone actually decided that the lyrics booklet would have better paper quality than the concept pics

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

I’m not sure why people are still feeling sorry for Jimin’s vocal cords when during the last comeback they all were the most stable they’ve ever been in their career. I was watching the MCD comeback and couldn’t believe my ears. Granted, that’s pre-recorded but still.

But I’ve been in and out of kpop the past years so who knows what else happened in the meantime.

Re next comeback: can we have some angst again? Can we go one album with no sappy song dedicated to ARMY? Can we also lose the autotune? Am I asking for too much?
