January 2017 to January 25, 2018

This list contains much of the research I collected during the last year for the fourth installment of the Answer series.

I began writing this story in November 2016. I titled the series 'Answer' during the Wings era, before Love Yourself had ever been mentioned. Over the last two years, during the course of the writing, many odd alignments and coincidences happened that I don't fully understand. I listed these instances in the end notes of the chapters. It was pretty interesting to me, how it kept happening. Anyway, I took it as a sign that I was on the right track. I hope these stories moved you in the way that they moved me. I've loved writing in this world. I'm definitely going to miss it.

Anyway, here's all my research - the complex, chaotic details of the lives of BTS. There's far more than this, but you can ...

This list contains all of the research I did over the last year and a half while writing the Answer Me series, a TaeJin-centric, canon compliant story for BTS. http://archiveofourown.org/series/736848... While this is a document containing hard research, a lot of it is anecdotal, observational, partly conjecture, and based on multiples sources. Please message me if you have clarifications or questions! Here is my tumblr: https://save-me-my-seoul.tumblr.com/

Also, this list is a work in progress. I will continue to add to it and make corrections as I learn/find new information.

He's wearing a shirt with a hand that's flipping the bird beneath the word Obey. He talks about writing lyrics in a small, crowded waiting room while shooting photos. They're planning to release something new on Friday. It's basically a teaser for something that will be 'in your face,' so to speak.
