Even though they’re still technically on break, BTS had a busy week! From more “Chicken Noodle Soup,” Tik Toks, vacation vlogs and pictures, and Bangtan Bombs, there was plenty of content from the boys.
There were also some exciting announcements like Jimin being revealed as one of the BoF 500, FILA confirming their contract with BTS, MTV EMA nominations, and the Bring the Soul: The Movie with commentary release date.
And that’s just some of what went down this week with BTS! Check out more below:
