On April 15, BIG HIT released an obscure 19-second video that sent BTS’ ARMYs into a late Easter egg hunting trip.

Following the thread, the group’s official account posted a link that redirected fans to the MNCR Logistics website where they are greeted with a monochromatic log-in interface with the username “army0709.” Many fans have already provided a step-by-step process for accessing the website on X (formerly known as Twitter).
So far, ARMYs have deconstructed many details as they followed the website’s clues. This includes the password, the invoice number, each of the BTS member’s year of birth, and even the dates referring to their debut date, army day date, and even the date that circles back to when they went on stage to perform ‘Permission to Dance’ in L.A.
The website also received praise from ARMYs because of its ease of use, keenness to details, and many symbols that reflect the relationship between BTS and ARMYs.

Many fans think this BTS scheme, although puzzling, is fun and interesting to do. It became a way for fans to be engaged with the fandom as they theorized the meaning of all of these.
According to an ARMY, the mixed signals given by the MCNR Logistics can mean to an album coming out in June, perhaps a pre-recorded offline concert, a BTS disco night, or a DVD enclosing their 2022/2023 memories. It could also be another HYYH-like (Hwa Yong Yeon Hwa) event, and maybe a member’s solo album.
Another fan speculated that this might be Hybe’s new design of a shipping system.
This is fun though I wonder if this is just Hybes way of introducing us to a new shipping system 😂

There may be no way of really knowing what BTS is up to, but they are definitely up to something. Despite the positive feedback, some fans are worried that they are getting played.
Still, ARMYs seemed to have fun playing detective as they tried to uncover the secrets behind the MNCR Logistics, the videos posted by Big Hit, and the crumbs of hint provided to them. They expressed their excitement, love, and support for their OT7 in the midst of it all.
