*SPOILERS ALERT* True Beauty Ep 14 was indeed a roller coaster ride for fans of the show as the love triangle between Lim Ju-gyeong (Moon Ga-young), Lee Su-ho (ASTRO member Cha Eun-woo) and Han Seo-jun (Hwang In-yeop) took a drastic turn with Su-ho leaving Korea to be with his ill father. While fans are anxiously waiting for the final two episodes to see how things change with the two-year time jump, there was a little surprise for BTS ARMY in yesterday's episode.
It was after their turbulent yet hilarious encounter with the bullies from Yongpa High School that Ju-gyeong, Choi Soo-ah (Kang Min-ah) and Joo Hye-min (Oh Yoo-jin) cool down over a meal. When Soo-ah opens her bag, she sees that her packaged album, which she purchased with Ju-gyeong, has been torn and whines about it while Hye-min had the same album, with two copies in tow, so as a thoughtful gesture, she gives Soo-ah the second copy. This, in turn, helped the two to realise that they're fans of the same music duo and are a part of the fan club Gelatin.
While BTS wasn't referenced to in dialogue, making a cameo was their beloved 2017 album Love Yourself: Her which features hits like DNA and Mic Drop. Moreover, even during the fight, we see the same album helping out Hye-min as it protected her from one of the bully's punches, leaving ARMY laughing out loud in endearment.
