You’re me, I’m you - BTS, "Serendipity" + Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, "The Little Prince" #booksky #bts #jimin

There are two people with chat boxes next to them. The chat box next to the red-headed person with question marks next to her head on top has a quote from Baldeep that says, "What if the narrator and the little prince are two sides of the same coin? As in, the narrator has to reconcile with his childhood self to then move on." The chat box next to the blue-haired person with an exclamation mark next to her head on bottom has a quote from Nafi that says, "I feel like they are because the prince is the first person to actually get the boa constrictor and the elephant drawing, so it lets the narrator relive what he had lost in his adulthood." Next to the chat boxes are illustrations of a fox, a pilot, a prince with a sword, and a rose underneath a glass cover.

Hey ARMY! Weather Forecaster Jeong Hoseok let us know the forecast for June 13 is HOT ☀️ 🥵 , especially in ARMY's hearts! To help prepare for FESTA, here are some tips brought to you by MB Weather: #2025BTSFESTA

The image shows a still from "[2025 FESTA] 방탄늬우스 (BTS NEWS)" that was modified to look like a news report with a backdrop made up of mountains and the sea. j-hope, wearing a dark denim jacket and black sunglasses, is standing on the right of a 'BTS FESTA PREP' list. This list includes the following 7 tips for ARMYs: (1) Stay hydrated! You can also keep your energy up with iced americanos! ; (2) Don't forget to eat! We recommend Jin Ramen! #notsponsored 👀 ; (3) Sun protection is a must! Serve face just like Tae with sunburn-free skin. ; (4) Loosen up your limbs before pulling any dance moves! You don't want to celebrate FESTA with sore muscles! 🕺 💫 ; (5) Warm up your vocal cords before your BTS singalong (especially if you want to keep up with Jimin's high notes)! 🎤 ; (6) Journal your reflections and feelings! 🖊️ 📓 ; and (7) Hang out and connect with fellow ARMYs (like MB bookworms) to start FESTA off on a good note. Hanging out together is half the fun! 💜 Scattered around the board are cute images of BTS members related to each item on the list (e.g., Jin holding up a packet of Jin Ramen). Underneath the list is a snapshot of the date and weather: Fri 6/13 with a sun symbol and a '아미 마음 온도' ('ARMY's heart temperature' in Korean) of 35°C.

MB compiled 7️⃣ tips to help create a reading habit as JK mentioned that he was trying to read books! Maybe you can start reading a little bit #WithJKNightAndDay by using these tips 🥺 #bts #jungkook #booksky

A pouting Jungkook holding a book is centered in the image with blue and white blobs surrounding him that have the following '7 Tips to Build a Reading Habit':

① Try to follow the concept of behavioral momentum - read a smaller/easier book first before moving on to a more difficult one.
② Set realistic reading goals for yourself, like reading at least 15 minutes every day. You can even schedule your reading in at a specific time each day and set an alarm!
③ Think of a genre or topic that interests you and start with a book from there instead of going to the current trendy pick.
④ Give buddy reading a chance! Having a friend is perfect for accountability and discussion!
⑤ Graphic novels, manga, and poetry can be a less overwhelming venture into reading.
⑥ If you have a favorite movie/tv show, try to find the book equivalent! Either the direct source material or a similar premise.
⑦ Reading comes in different forms - give audiobooks a try!

The rose held a big role in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's "The Little Prince" (and even made an appearance in Jin's solo stage in MOTS: ONE!) - our members (@nursenafi.bsky.social, Hoshi, & @officialpddeep.bsky.social) shared their thoughts on this important character~ 🌹 #thelittleprince #bts #jin

A screengrab of Jin's solo stage for "Moon" in Map of the Soul ON:E. Jin is dressed all in white on top of a moon holding a mic and mic stand next to a very large rose.

Next to a rose illustration is the title "MB members' thoughts on rose from 'The Little Prince'". Underneath are quotes from three members:
Nafi - I feel like she wanted attention and wanted to see how much she could ask the prince.
Hoshi - The rose definitely felt like a lot of people feel in relationships.
Baldeep - The rose was trying to be the most special to the prince even if that meant lying or stretching the truth, but didn’t realize that her presence itself was the special identity she had.
Nafi - The prince had to learn that the rose was not as special as she said, but she was still special to him.

[MB QOTD] A ray of light left in the box by Pandora, projected onto an innocent young boy... We need hope Whether there’s a lot or not enough - j-hope, "Pandora’s Box" + Cheon Myeong-kwan, "Whale" (trans. Chi-Young Kim) #bts #jhope #cheonmyeongkwan #whale #booksky #bookclub

The background image is of an old brick wall with a quote from Cheon Myeong-kwan's "Whale" on top that says, "we can glimpse her hope that the bricks would go out into the world and convey her feelings"
