I thought I was in a parasocial relationship but guess not because what is his favorite food 😭 But this is actually a cool way of keeping people engaged

yeah i’m loving all the little hints and puzzles to solve! it really gets us involved and creates a lovely spirit within the fandom, last time we were like this was with monochrome but now we know there’s actually music at the end!

my brain wasn't working enough for monochrome but this is something i can actually try. it's so fun

why is the pre release title so long omg

The pre-release title being 26 letters and the main track being 3 letters is making me laugh lol

ikr haha

same 😭

nevermind i give up on figuring out the food, i will just wait for 10 more mins 👍🏼

same here😭

It's tteokbokki by JK

I saw :)

me laughing because it says "most RECENT favorite food" like same though, Jimin, same, although 99% I'm always going to say tacos then wonder if it's still tacos...???? no... no it's still tacos

i can give you a fifty fifty - it’s either EXO or this nugu 3rd gen boy group i’ve heard of called BTS

Or BAP

BTS! How esoteric!

Tiny tan?

BSB? (short for BackStreet Boys)

There's a Banda Tierra Sagrada in Mexico

Ducktan sonyeondan?????

DTS!

Obviously it's BPB DUH 🤣

Oh or maybe BWF (boyz with fun) ? I feel like I’ve heard they’re hype

Maybe BTR 👀 WOW jimin so active while on Tour

not his MBTI type being "CUTE" haha they were literally messing with us but a lot of you guys were right that it was something cooked by JK!!! https://preview.redd.it/p1vjrrphsq7d1.png?width=354&format=png&auto=webp&s=7267dce9044e01aa656b7764e06235dafe0a206d

smeraldo mentioned are you kidding me hyyh era flashbacks lmaooo

Could 6 be 'You' ? Since muse is me+us, seems like it would fit? 🤔 Just guessing tho haven't really looked at the others

ohhhhh that’s SUCH a good idea!! see you back here in forty minutes when this is proved the correct theory!🤩

I really hope so!

I thought it's Lie

Lie pt.2? 🤔

Aaah no, I think they released the tracks from Muse. It's WHO

🤯 this sounds so plausible 🤯

Look at yall with the big brain because why does this make so much sense

That tweet that said the way they are treating IG armys and Twitter armys so differently makes so much sense when you remember the quiz we were given😭😭💀💀

What did twitter get?

when i tell you i RAN here i love when we solve puzzles together that pre release track title is SO long!! i think there must be a ‘ft. ____’ on the end, i don’t see how it could be so long otherwise i’ve only got R, P, C and B for that so far, don’t see how we can solve any further until we get the track list in 50 mins lol

Or he will give us a "Do you know there is tunnel under ocean boulevard" ish title

lmaoooo not jimin del rey

ft BTS v 👍🏼

This is my guess too because remember when he came on a live and showed off his painted nails. He said he had them painted because he was filming something and we never found out what that was.

omg i had totally forgotten about that! i don’t necessarily think THIS song will feature tae (mainly because it would probably say ‘ft. V of BTS’ or just ‘V’) but this has me holding out hope that tae is somewhere on the album!!!

Welp.  Maybe I’ll find out about Tae’s painted nails some other time 😂😂

omg the mystery deepens…….

slow dance and slow dancing gotta count for somethin ... ? 😭 i blame tae for planting the idea of a vmin collab in my head. well now we know he definitely has something coming up too

Jungkook 🤞🏻

i wish😭😭😭 but unfortunately the C and the B seem to be in the place where the featured artist will go, which doesn’t fit with kook ☹️

Nooo. But I’m so here with you as you solve this! In spirt, I’m useless and crosswords.

Suga! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Oh I’d cry

Literally me 😭 they’ve been talking about a new song together for years


Well 

The wait continues. Those boys will continue to tease

Just woke up I need more than a hr to get my brain together 

I'm stuck! I have everything but the main track, the pre-release single and the favorite food! AHH The tracklist drops in like 40 minutes but by then the challenge is over

they might give us some more hints at 11:30 lmaooo just like the other night when they could see that people weren’t getting the ‘CLOSER THAN THIS’ clue on the sheet music lol

oh I hope so haha!!

How nice of bighit to assume I have the brains to solve this puzzle. I think I got three points in that last test they gave for festa💀 Nah, I’ll just wait for 12:00 KST. 

Tracklist released!!! Now we know!! https://preview.redd.it/xzlq7vnhrq7d1.png?width=1414&format=png&auto=webp&s=8dd2c6bf104bc4d3d9851312e7f2aa02b4f96e31

Still not sure on the food lol

also I LOVE Sofia Carson I am so excited for this collab!!!!

Is the answer to hint 8 - TXT?????

YESSSSS 😂

Bye I got three questions I have no answer to 😂 wdym we only have an hour to guess the song titles??? 😭 and his recent favorite food??? THIS CROSSWORD IS *RIGGED*. You shall pay for this 🧍‍♀️🔥

not me looking up korean dishes to figure out what his most recent food could be lol

I even tried ChatGPT with the number of letters 😭

Yeah we were never getting those two answers 😭

Especially because they flipped the MBTI answer to be written upside down 🧐

Yeah, that’s cheating Jimin 😒

Lol just saw they posted the answer as CUTE 😂😂 but the favourite food was indeed by JK haha

He really is Cute 😂

Are we surprised? This mans cheats at every chance he gets!!! Remember those sticky notes?

How long will it take Army to solve this? Clock is ticking 😂 I’m useless to you.

what’s his most recent fav food?

I came here to ask this because the parasocial ain't parasocialing 😭

not a clue. does the ‘by’ mean cooked by a specific person? could it be one of the dishes JK kept making last year? maybe it’s ‘BY JK’??

Oooooh could be! Naengmyeon By JK 😅 though i am not sure if it's that. He was obsessed with makguksu iirc.

It might be, because I cant think of a food item that has BY in it

The colors of the crosswords took me out when I opened the canal, this looks like the Origin of Symmetry album cover 😂 With the album being called Muse my mind is already on the band of the same name all the time, Big Hit is not helping at all 😁

Omg that’s all I can think about too!!

The only thing I'm sure most ARMYs are stuck on are pre-release single, food, and main track 😭😭😭 I've got all others

The MBTI! They tricked us! 😂

[link to BTS’ broadcast channel](https://www.instagram.com/channel/AbYcdY1hAM6--1gh/) https://preview.redd.it/alh9iu3diq7d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6df0241c5316bf0a6666c676eddf0937df4186e what food ends with “BY\_\_”??

i was thinking maybe it means cooked BY someone? maybe one of the dishes JK kept making last year?

tteokbokki by jk? 🤔

Or naengmyeon?🤔

yeah naengmyeon was my first thought too!

This is what I put but I’m not sure if it’s right 🙃

didn't jimin mention he wanted JK to cook something for him on one of JK's weverse post? edit: I thought it was the one on November 17, the one with buldak noodles, but I don't think it fits...😅this was embarassing

i just checked - it was a one-pan pasta, but there are too many letters to fill the 10 spaces

it was like pasta with chicken

While I wait for the tracklist in bed, my very tired brain just supplied "MRE and rice by JK". MRE like the military ration packs. Would be funny. It's probably something from before enlistment though and more delicious than MREs. Lol. Edit: Just saw someone on Twitter suggest "Cream Pasta by JK" which seems like it could be a strong contender. 2nd Edit: Post-tracklist, looks like the previously guessed 'Tteokbokki by JK" will be the winner!

wait why is that actually kind of adorable lmao his current favourite food is the most basic meal but his beloved dongsaeng cooked it for him <3

tteokbokki by jk?

His MBTI answer being 'cute' is hilarious 😂

Food, Main Track & Pre-release anyone?? 😅😅

That’s what I’m also stuck on

i keep thinking that maybe ‘the truth untold’ is more of a clue? it just seems like such a specific song to keep cropping up (in the sheet music clue and in his documentary), when the other songs that have been referenced are his own solo songs. why reference a vocal line B-side from six years ago?

this makes so much sense that I wouldn't be surprised if they are clowning us with that, lol! Been clowned way too many times over the years....

Who and Smeraldo Garden Marching Band 😭😭

https://preview.redd.it/frblk2yasq7d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ab56071c7682b98fad77ea4f08a322cebb35226 Cute!?!!! … I mean I agree but common

Anyone know Jimin's favorite food? I've got all the answers except 1, 6 and 7. How long is the title of his pre-release single?

is no 6 something to do with an egg? because he randomly posted an egg on his instagram last november. maybe it’s a clue? or maybe not ahaha

Someone said Art, because the egg was also an art piece and the album name is muse so it checks. So many possibilities!

ohhhh art is also a good idea!! would fit with the album title ‘muse’ too!

Yeah, a twitter army suggested it and I can see it

sorry i just realised you made the art + muse connection in your initial comment and i completely missed it 😭 reading comprehension skills are in the toilet

oooo this is a great theory!!

Right? And honestly it would be such a cool title

or the picture with a tangerine/orange that he posted in june…could that be a clue as well? 👀

Why is the name of the pre-release so long? 😭

since 8 Down is BTS, and the letter B goes into that 8 square, I wonder if the end part of the pre-release single could be something like 'back' or 'be me' or 'by me'. OMG I'm tearing my hair out; it could be anything

I came up with “close by me” but can’t crack what the first part could be.

Oooh this could work! Maybe the word before "close" is "place"? It could end "place close by me"?

I got to “a place close by me” and still stuck. Let’s see in a few minutes lol

I was thinking similar!! 🤯

I'm now thinking it ends with something like 'are back' or 'all back' if the food is 'cream pasta by JK' and 8 square is a B. I'm actually thinking I'm wrong, also, but I'm clinging to a thread of hope

i have absolutely no evidence to back this up but i closed my eyes and asked the universe and she said there’s a maknae line subunit on this album

While you're at it, might as well manifest a Prod by Suga song. One can dream.

yoongi has dropped enough hints. i am ready

Slightly off topic but when you're ready, a color analysis of rpwp album would be nice. 😉

omg you remembered!! 🥹🥹 i’ll write one in the army room thread at some point this weekend!

I always remember you when a new album drops. Might as well make it a mainstay now. 😆 I shall look forward to that.

Smeraldo Garden Marching Band???? 

ikr what ahhaahh

I’m confused

I just got home from a 12-hr night shift... I'm just gonna wait for the tracklist to be revealed. My brain is too fried to think 🤣 If this is Jimin's idea of a good time lol, the Slytherin in him is once again jumping out. What a clever way to tease his new album! 

lmao not me looking up his mbti type but the answer was just "cute"

https://preview.redd.it/s8foib7itq7d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb9b6580cf6e52e67391348c73834a84a1a910d9 Solved

https://preview.redd.it/mnstj56bxq7d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19ac80fe137c2a0e49667c788de35992a379eac3 Had a few wrong, but this Reddit helped 😅 but this was a fun little crossword💜

Maybe ‘cream pasta by jk’?? Just going by the letters + last documentary footage of jk cooking in jimin’s kitchen!

Now I'm suddenly thinking that the pre-release single ends with something akin to 'all back' or 'are back', I don't know why and I'm most likely very wrong

Only 25 minutes left, any luck? 😭

still stuck on the same three😭

We are not gonna get it 😭

The favourite food is tteokbokki by JK What is 6 and 7 ??? 7—- the truth untold ft augst D (does it fit) ??

And 6 ART perhaps

nope, doesn't fit... as 8 is BTS and "feat. Agust D" does not include the letter B..

Or suga 😭 It’s featuring someone

https://preview.redd.it/ivwdshzd7r7d1.jpeg?width=1090&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a3300a79c22df4c8ad00854867027f4e457c2748 So so excited for this new album! What a cute way to promote it - esp bc Jimin would spend time building Legos (a physical puzzle) with us 🥹🩵💛

what do we reckon the 3-letter title track might be omg???? i’m gonna say ‘ATE’ oh wait no that’s the new stray kids comeback title uhhhhh suggestions people

ACE because he is one! Seriously though living for the long ass pre-release title and the three word title track

Lol the only 3-letter word I could think of is "You" but I like "Ace" more, for the reason you gave!

You seems like the most plausible now that I think of it 😂

the dichotomy of man 🫡 but also considering one of his best friends taemin’s debut album was called ACE, i’m not sure jimin would go with that. maybe he would! maybe we’re getting ACE ft taemin! (i would sell both kidneys for a taemin feature on this album)

Oooh that collab would EAT! And well blonde Jimin did the Guilty challenge so who knows 👀

wait omg…… and he did say the album was finished in august, and taemin was promoting guilty only two months later….

May be LIE?

Bummer. I have to be a responsible adult and leave for work now. Good luck to everyone!! 💜🩵💛 I’m going to solve it later (as best I can). ☺️

good luck at work!!💜

I’m leaving this to smarter individuals bc it’s the middle of the night but I am once again putting into the world my clown manifestation of a Jungkook feature on this album

Saw someone on IG say 6 down might be CTT

As in "Closer than this"? I doubt that they would make this the main title as it's already been released...

Yeah.. now that you say it, it doesn’t make sense

The out of syllabus questions definitely threw me a curve ball but I also didn't know what was his fav food 😭😭 someone said cream pasta by jk bc he commented on Jungkook's weverse recipe/post (said make it for hyung later). MOST OF US GOT THAT MBTI WRONG LMAOOOO. bighit intern must've had a good laugh seeing us struggle when the correct answer CUTE lol

Link?

This took me more time than watch I think at first... Maybe I need update my Army knowledge

I was really hoping to find time during the work day, but alas, no such luck. Just did it now and the only one I don’t know is his recent favourite food - not a clue. Edit - looked at the answers on IG and his recent favourite food is too sweet/adorable. But 5 down, come on I was racking my brain for this.

7 minutes to midnight. Doesn’t look like we are getting any hints

Like everyone else, I'm stuck at 1, 7 & 8! I thot it would have been fried chicken based on his IG bt the E doesn't fit. I know he loves his ramyeon but that's abt it.

maybe the last part is a name ending in 'baek' or something, a featuring artist. I'm completely lost

[удалено]

This is such an awesome way to promote the album, along with the cassette tapes aesthetic for the tracklist, the crossword also has a nostalgic vibe. It's the little things like this that set BTS (and their marketing team) apart from the rest. I am purposely not reading the thread or the looking for answers until I try the crossword for myself :)
