The 529 Connection

100 Days of AP529

What started as a simple book club concept grew into a beautiful website with daily content, a shop with fun merchandise (all proceeds go to the project's operation), an awe-inspiring map where over 4200 members of ARMY in 143 countries and territories have pinned their location so they can be found by other ARMY looking to make connections - and new website stuff is on the way!

WEEK 13 | Raise Your Voice

The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever, is the culmination of the HYYH era. Largely a compilation album, it contains all of the tracks from the first two albums, but also four new songs. This week we will explore how it feels to come out of the haze of uncertainty that overshadows the transitions of ‘youth’ and into a more determined state of mind. BTS jumped off the cliff, unfurled their wings, and now it’s time to see where they land.

BTS: Who is SUGA?
