The best BTS albums of all time, ranked
With all seven members Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook of BTS officially discharged from their mandatory military service, one question is echoing across every ARMY group chat: 'When is the next album dropping?'. Well, the answer to that question is probably next year, but to be sure, we have to ask the boys. However, the reports of them cooking something in Los Angeles are coming until that moment arrives, why not revisit the discography that made BTS a global phenomenon? I took a trip down memory lane, and tried the impossible: ranking BTS's top 5 albums. Because we listen and we don't judge, but we rank. You get the idea. It wasn't easy, but here's my take, based on storytelling, sonic quality, and cultural impact.5. The Most Beautiful Moment in Life This was the era that first showcased BTS's lyrical depth and emotional range. With songs like 'I Need U' and 'Run', the album captured the chaotic beauty of youth, its pain, passion, and fleeting hope. It marked BTS's artistic turning point and laid the groundwork for everything that followed. It's poetic and powerful, but early in their evolution, which is why it lands at number five. 4. Love Yourself: AnswerAs the finale to the 'Love Yourself' trilogy, this album felt like a mic-drop moment. With a massive 25-track listing (including 'IDOL', 'Euphoria', and 'Epiphany'), it brought closure to a story about self-love, acceptance, and healing. It was a commercial and critical hit, showcasing their versatility. However, since much of the album repackaged previous tracks from the trilogy, it ranks fourth in this list. 3. Map of the Soul: 7This is BTS at their most introspective. Map of the Soul: 7 dives deep into the psychology of fame, identity, and personal growth. Tracks like 'Black Swan', 'ON', and 'We are Bulletproof: the Eternal' show how far they've come, musically and emotionally. With 20 tracks blending hip-hop, pop, and orchestral influences, it's a sonic experience that's both ambitious and vulnerable. It ranks third because of its sheer scale and depth, though its heavy themes might not be everyone's go-to replay. 2. BEDuring the pandemic, most people lost hope and forgot about the little moments of life. BTS addressed those issues with this album. 'BE' was their personal message to fans. From the disco-pop hit 'Dynamite' to the reflective 'Life Goes On' and 'Blue and Grey', this album offered comfort in uncertain times. It was also their most hands-on project, with each member contributing to production, visuals, and design. It's compact but incredibly heartfelt, as if they tried to ignite a ray of hope and telling us that no matter what life goes on. That is why this album deserves to be in the second spot. advertisement1. ProofI had a really hard time convincing my editor about this album. But we eventually decided on the ultimate BTS anthology. Proof isn't just an album, it's a retrospective celebration of their journey. Divided into three discs, it features their biggest hits, fan favourites, unreleased gems, and new songs like 'Yet to Come'. It bridges the past, present, and future of BTS in a way that feels both nostalgic and hopeful. This is their legacy in audio form, which is why it comfortably takes the top spot. Every BTS album is special in its own right, and ranking them feels almost unfair; each one reflects a different chapter in their evolution. But 'Proof' stands tall not just for its music, but for what it represents: a love letter to fans and a promise of what's still to the group gearing up for their highly anticipated return, revisiting their discography reminds us why BTS isn't just a band, it's a while we wait for the next big drop, turn the volume up and dive back into these timeless tracks. After all, the best way to prepare for what's next is to remember how it all began.- EndsMust Watch

BTS' Jungkook's new Instagram username sparks absurd dating rumors with aespa's Winter, fans debunk possibility
BTS's Jungkook has made an unexpected return to Instagram after 2 years, creating a new personal account that has generated immense excitement among fans. The artist's chosen username has garnered significant attention. Some interpreted it as a reference to aespa's Winter and theorized about their romantic relationship. These rumors, however, were quickly dispelled by fans, who labeled the speculators as delusional. Jungkook's Instagram username allegedly hints at aespa's Winter Jungkook's new Instagram account, unveiled on July 14, included the username @imjunkook, whose simplest explanation is an abbreviated form of 'I am Jungkook'. aespa fans, however, linked it up with Winter, as the first part of her Instagram username matches that of the BTS member's. Her official handle is @imwinter, and this was enough to rekindle the dating rumors between the two artists. The speculators took things to the next level as Jungkook changed his username to @mnijungkook. As per them, the username was a nod to Winter's real name, Kim Min Jeong. They substantiated the claim by explaining the theory with "mnijungkook = minjungkook = minjung = minjeong." Fans of both the artists found it absolutely absurd and rallied to defend them. Fans debunk Jungkook and Winter's dating rumor A fan took to social media to address the growing concern regarding prying into celebrities' personal lives and spreading baseless rumors about them. They debunked the dating rumors, stating, "all the shipping 'evidence' doesn't even make sense. the ideas shippers come up with really get to you all." Another wrote, "im genuinely so tried [tired] seeing them forcing things to connect stupid delusional mofo LET JUNGKOOK LIVE FREE pls." The fans urged the rumor spreaders to put aside their shipping biases and look at the facts objectively. They felt that the only way to make people stop linking Jungkook with anyone and everyone was him introducing his real life partner someday. "i wish that someday he'd finally introduce his real girl instead of moping around & letting his fans harass every female idol in existence but never him," a fan said. This incident once again demonstrated the fierce loyalty and support of K-pop fans, who stand guard against any perceived threats or negativity surrounding their beloved idols.
