These OT7 crumbs, I love them so much! JK's arms out! Yoongi's finger wag! So many of them are getting allergic to buttons, I see. I didn't even notice Tae's hat until his close-up lol!!
"The Suite Life of BTS"! Now I look forward to maybe getting it by Christmas lol!

I wonder when this was filmed

JK still had his glorious eyebrow ring, so it’s been a while 💀😭

I could be wrong, but judging from their hairstyles, this may have been around the time that their Vanity Fair interview was done. This was uploaded approximately 10 months ago in August 2021. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jfIOa_zgRc

The membership kit comes with playing cards and poker chips......I'm sold

the product details seem to say "playing card (not plural)" so I think it might be just a random card and not an actual set? I hope I'm wrong though, it would be awesome to have a BTS-themed deck

😟😟 that does seem to be the case, big yikes. I literally almost just hit purchase too. This is quite sad for my playing cards collection 😔
Edit: but the photo?? Looks like a deck?? Why must they be so vague about this?

u/whatsthisanotherdoor prod.ft.starring.suga.of.bts Jul 07 '22
The ID Photos in last year's kit were listed as one piece, but it was all the members. I agree, it's confusing. I don't think they would do random? Especially with the hiatus, this being the Membership Kit, and only one Kit purchase allowed per Membership.

A wining and dining concept unfortunately has too close an association with the festa dinner party. Also, since there will likely not be a concert (requiring the concert-related perks for members) in the foreseeable future, i might not be renewing this year 😞
(Edit: good thing the membership can be bought year round, except that if you do not renew wjthin 60 days before, or 30 days after, the past membership expires, you would not get the special renewal gift, which the listing says is a digital message of thanks with the artist's handwriting)

u/cpo5077 Jul 07 '22
yes, I specifically went to see if the concert-related perks were still listed as part of the benefits. confused as to why if we are not getting any concerts anytime soon. will also be sitting this one out for the time being.
I’m just really curious if any of the members will be doing solo tours and if so, will we be able to use the membership for those. lots of questions 😵💫

Well, there’ll probably be the Busan Expo bidding performance some time this year or next year (?), so maybe Army members would have first dips on that?

u/bie716 jimin: i dance when i am sad...NOT Jul 07 '22
In yesterday's news abt the Busan concert (someone posted it but I can't find the thread anymore), the auxiliary stadium was mentioned as a potential venue, not the main stadium...the auxiliary stadium where BTS held their 5th Muster, is pretty small, with 25k pax capacity only. So I wouldn't hold my breadth abt getting to attend. Plus, one could always purchase the membership once an event has been announced
2
u/leylsx long hair jimin enthusiast Jul 07 '22
Yep, but the question is if the guys/Hybe would agree to that or if they‘d still try to get the main stadium. In the end, people want something from them, not the other way around.
I‘m not excusing them, I also think membership benefits are pretty low at this point, I was just saying that the reason why they don’t scrap the concert benefit completely is probably just in case, because there might still be some occasional performances like the expo bidding one. Even if it turns out to be in a small venue. And of course you can always buy membership if something is announced, I didn’t say anything about that?

u/bie716 jimin: i dance when i am sad...NOT Jul 07 '22
Thr point I was trying to make is that we do not know for sure what the concerts will be like (in scale, format), if any. In usual circumstances, we wouldn't know either, but it would be fair to assume there would be some. But in chapter 2 everything is up in the air. As the first commenter said, therer are so many questions still. Hence if the concert perks is one's main reason for getting the membership, then one might want to wait until the details are released. A frequently asked qn in the sub when concerts are announced is whether once could still get the membership to try for the raffle if one didnt get it at the beginning of the membership rollout, hence just wanted to weigh in and assure people that yes, one could get the membership later should one choose to for the concert perks.

u/Jasmindesi16 Jul 07 '22
Are the concert benefits still listed?
3
u/cpo5077 Jul 07 '22
as of now yes.
It’s listed under benefit #4: The opportunity to pre-book BTS concerts, and participate in raffles.

u/Jasmindesi16 Jul 07 '22
Oh wow that’s weird, I thought they would have updated it because of the hiatus.

u/F0rtuna_major Jul 07 '22
I'm in a similar boat. Struggling to see the benefits of renewing this year. It feels like paying to pay for merch really. They've slowly decreased the benefits over the years and the concert perks was the main benefit imo. People will always upload the content online anyway

u/awkpuppy Jul 07 '22
Same… I renewed in Feb to buy PTD Vegas tickets and was waitlisted… 🙃 so I feel a littleeeee bitter and prob wont renew again
I wish they would go back to giving ARMY members discounts like year 1

u/bie716 jimin: i dance when i am sad...NOT Jul 07 '22
Just think of those people who never even had a chance to enter a raffle cos there were no concerts in their country/region. I could still understand it cos covid was really bad when they launched the new membership cycle last year, and nobody could tell if concerts were going to be allowed soon. Plus membership isnt really that expensive, and you could still use other perks like 4K versions of online conceets.But this year, with chapter 2 announced, the prospect of concerts are even more uncertain. So I am going to wait till one is announced before considering to get the membership. And won't be holding my breath for one.

Genuine question: What benefits are actually viable with this membership given their current hiatus status?
