About ARMY Project 529
What is ARMY Project 529?
ARMY Project 529 is a community-based initiative with four main goals:
Help ARMYs across the world to stay connected during BTS’ enlistment and beyond
Take the529liners on a chronological guided journey of BTS content from debut to now
Give BTS ARMYs the chance to share their stories on social media with guided prompts
Make new friends and have a GREAT time!
Why is 529 significant?
There are 529 days between January 1, 2024 (our project launch) and June 13, 2025 (BTS’ debut anniversary, aka Festa). By BTS Festa 2025, we expect most (maybe all?) of the BTS members to have completed their compulsory service, and we look forward to celebrating as a fandom.
Who is ARMY Project 529 for?
Anyone who loves BTS’ music, video content, performances, etc. Whether you’re Baby ARMY starting your journey or veteran ARMY wanting to revisit important moments in BTS history, ARMY Project 529 is for you. We hope you’ll find some content to enjoy, maybe even participate in, and cool ARMY friends along the way!
How can I support ARMY Project 529?
The best way to support is following our social media accounts and interacting (comment, like, share, repost, etc.) with our content. If you’d like to contribute financially, we have merchandise available to purchase. Please check back frequently because we are adding new designs on a regular basis!
Does ARMY Project 529 support streaming projects?
We encourage everyone to listen and enjoy BTS’ music whenever possible. However, our main goals are focused around connecting the BTS ARMY community, and we do not have any specific streaming or charting goals as part of the Project.
Website and Social Media
How can I be notified of new blog posts?
We send a weekly email newsletter for the “Monday Muster” blog post, which you can sign up for here. The email contains links for all blog posts from the prior week, in case you need to catch up.
When do you go Live on TikTok? What if I miss it?
TikTok Lives are planned for Sunday 8pm ET and Friday 7:30am ET. There may be additional spontaneous lives throughout the week. If you’re unable to attend, Lives will be recorded and posted to the ARMY Project 529 YouTube within 24 hours.
Do I have to follow all of these social media accounts and post videos?
Not at all. Although we appreciate the support, we know not everyone is super plugged into social media. Pick what works for you. If you’re uncomfortable appearing on camera, you can also participate in Bangtan Bubbles through blog comments, Instagram/Facebook/Twitter comments, or Discord.
What is Discord?
Discord is a web/desktop/mobile chat app. We have an ARMY Project 529 server where we discuss all sorts of BTS- and non-BTS-related topics. It’s a great way to find and connect with ARMY friends throughout your day, as time allows.
Troubleshooting
I just signed up, but didn’t get a newsletter.
You should receive a verification email asking you to confirm your subscription. If you don’t see it, check your spam folder. The newsletter goes out every Monday at 12am ET with a link to the most recent “Monday Muster” blog post. In the meantime, you can catch up on prior posts here.
