Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating! We are grateful for the podcast and for all of our listeners. This episode was recorded in early October, so some of the information may not be the latest. But given that we are discussing concert replays, most of the content should still be relevant. We primarily discuss all four of the BTS movies that were shown in theaters (HYYH, Wings, Speak Yourself and SoWooZoo), Yoongi's return to instagram, and Jimin's dating "scandal."
