May 9th, 2016:

We had had our comeback on the 2nd and already had two sold-out concerts at the Olympic Gymnastic Stadium. Fire had also become our fastest music video to reach 1 million, doing it in 6 hours. It then hit 10 million in 75 hours. We also topped the with Fire, Save Me, and Epilogue: Young Forever taking up the top three ranks of the chart, which had never been done by any Korean act before. Finally, Fire achieved an 'all-kill' on Gaon music charts. It was safe to say that this comeback was beating any expectation we had of how it was going to go and none of us could quite believe it yet.

Fans were also loving the formal attire vibe in the Hwarang Yeonhwa on Stage Epilogue video to announce the world tour and were freaking out even more at me in a gown. I had worn a black gown with a high leg slit and deep(ish) neckline. I had hoop earrings, several rings, and intense smoky makeup with strappy heels to finish the look. I thought I looked bad@ss and I was happy ARMY thought the same.

We were currently at an unoccupied lot on the Han River to shoot running man. I was matching the boys and wearing black leggings and a black t-shirt tied at the front to make it more form-fitting. My hair was in a ponytail, tied with a white scrunchie.

Were driven onto the lot and come out to Fire playing so we immediately dance as our intro. Taehyung then shows them how to do part of the Fire dance which they fail to imitate properly.

"BTS and Running Man are actually quite similar," Gary says once everyone had calmed down, "we both have only one female".

"Oh yeah!" Hoseok says turning to me.

I smile awkwardly and wave. Jihyo comes forward and shakes my hand.

"Let's look after each other," she smiles, "I understand the struggle".

"Yes, of course," I chuckle.

The producer goes on to explain our task for the day: we had to get more ramen boxes to our flatbed truck than the other team. There were 300 boxes piled in different areas of the lot. Each team would be given one cart to help quicken the process. Whichever team lost had to donate the same amount of boxes using their own money, while the winning team would be donating the boxes present under their name.
