Community Update (This Week's Schedule) (Patreon)

Good Morning Primos!

Welcome back to a brand new schedule release! While we enjoy changing things up, it's always nice to get back to the things we know and love. And by that we are talking about In The Soop and Run BTS! Yup they are both back in the mix this week. And you thought we forgot Abby's Birthday pick, but we didn't. Her choice is up this week. Any guesses on which one it is? But first.....

We want to take a minute to share our thoughts on the schedule and comments from the past couple week's. We've read them, we've heard them. So here is where we are at.

We actually already wrote this up for last week's community update. It was a long and detailed post, and it accidentally got deleted : / . So instead, here's the more condensed version:

1. Unpopular Picks - On occasion, more recently during bday weeks, there seems to be at least one video we picked that is very unpopular with viewers. This is inevitable, and is going to happen. We are always going to watch recommended videos but also, as all of ARMY has done, we find or are recommended a video that catches our eye for whatever reason and we really want to watch it. As fans we've all done this, we've been curious. A big difference for us is, we want to watch it with you guys. We strive to be genuine and we feel this part is important. Please don't mistake this for us ignoring other videos. We unfortunately don't have the advantage of "knowing" what we're missing out on by not choosing another video. Per usual, we are going in totally blind.

2. Our Banters - To give a peak behind the curtains, on recording days generally in between videos we don't take a break. We stop one video and immediately start another. So a lot of our random conversations at the start of videos are us taking a mini mental break before continuing. We know sometimes this feels unnecessary and long for some, so we've already begun making changes to our routine. The recording will start when we're ready to react. And for the outros, sometimes our post discussions do lead to rabbit holes and we take too long. It happens more on Patreon, in our effort to feel like a "hang out session" but again, for many it's just too much. And we agree it isn't necessary. This will be fixed to the best of our ability moving forward.

3. Bday weeks - We do our best to try to keep things as equal as possible between members but there will be nuances, and they won't always be exactly the same. Also, earlier this year we decided to experiment dedicating all videos that week (Patreon included) to that member. So we WILL be doing that for ALL members this year, and for 2025 we'll reassess and decide how to do bday weeks for that year.

4. Concerts + Solo Albums - Final Bonus topic. We know concerts and solo albums are around the corner and we get several messages every week asking about them. So we will say this.... they are very... VERY... near 🙏🏼

Ok, now that that's done. Let's take a closer look at the week ahead.

In a lot of ways, this week is going to feel like a BDAY encore week... and you'll see why -

Wednesday- In The Soop is back and it's starting to look like the beginning of the end. (Patreon-Tier 2)

Thursday- It's another sad and reflective song with Forever Rain MV on YT. (YouTube). Then, By Popular demand, it's a double feature BONUS video on Patreon: A collab, and a musical guest performance on Fallon. Neva Play Lyric Video & SNTY. (Patreon-Tier 2).

Friday - It's the return of Run BTS! Ep 64. Now would be a good time to catch up on Ep 63 as this is a 3 part episode. (Patreon-Tier 2)

Saturday - GCF brings in the weekend and let's just say we were left speechless. And by speechless we mean the guys had a TON to say about Jk's editing style 🔥 ( YouTube)
