I’m not diagnosed with any mental illness but I’ve been stressed and hurt by people around me which make me sad and depressed. Even the very person close to me is giving me a hard time. This has made me really sad. It makes me cry all the time and the smile has left me. I’m blessed that I have four sisters and friends whom I talked to but it wasn’t enough. I still feel empty, alone and sad. Work and home are my struggles till this day. My sister who is a BTS ARMY introduced BTS to me when she was about to watch their Paris concert in October…

Non-linear. Maybe I went a bit too literally with this headline. But that’s my story. I’d never thought I would fall for a boy group in my 50’s, and I was trying to resist for quite some time …

Music has always been an important part of my life. I was always in the choir and I played the flute for about 10 years through school. My first “group crush” was The Monkees! Yes, I know, most of you are asking who? My name is Vickie, and I am 66 years young. I first saw BTS when they were very young. I don’t remember what show they were on or what song they sang and danced to, but I remember I liked them! But as life goes, mine got unbelievably busy with my mother’s illness and baby grandchildren. Somewhere in there, along with my family, I started listening to…

I wanted to write something deeper, more well thought out but kept stumbling with what I wanted to say so am just going to write from the heart. As relatively new Army, and a much, much older Army, sometimes I feel I have to justify when I discovered BTS, like I am penalized for not having found them earlier. Sometimes, but rarely I believe, people come into your life that make you shine. They make you feel more loving and giving, towards yourself and others. They make you feel joyful and euphoric and good about yourself and your world. That is what BTS did for me. I honestly can’t pinpoint…

InDec 2017 I had a car accident that put me in the hospital  for almost a year. I found BTS browsing through youtube. I enjoyed their music during long physical therapy sessions. While in my bed I watched Run episodes and other videos. They made me laugh and their message helped me realize I was going to be ok and to look to the future that I almost didn’t have. They have given me a renewed sense of self. I don’t think they know how many people they have touched

I am a mom, wife, daughter, a former environmental chemist, a nurse and ARMY.  In 2014 I started watching Kdramas based on a random google recommendation.  I loved the OSTs but just did not get into the Kpop scene or like any certain groups.  In 2016 my son and I traveled to Korea for 2 weeks to do a Kdrama tour – Seoul, Jeju, Busan. We ate tteokboki, rode bikes in Hangang Park, went in Namsan tower, all the typical Kdrama touristy things.  Fast forward to Hwarang and something about It’s Definitely You caught my ear.  I added it to my playlist, started listening to more Kpop OST’s.  In the…

I am not talented in the field of writing, so I will just try and say this how it is. Often, you don’t know what you need the most in life until you find it and try to imagine life without it. I had known about BTS for at least a few months before I became an ARMY, but it was only mild interest and recognition of the name. I never bothered doing any research on them and stuck with my own mix of pop and bollywood music for awhile. Then one day, I stumbled upon a Youtuber’s reaction video to the Blood, Sweat and Tears MV and found that…

My story starts with just an average day channel surfing. I came across BTS performing, I didn’t know who they were at that time. It’s funny to write this but I honestly can’t remember which one caught my eye first, but not because of thier Good looks but it was as if “we” had made eye contact.  Lol crazy I know. Fast forward and I started off slow into the rabbit hole. Music videos, translations and all that comes with them. I came to understand the message they were speaking. For me it was like getting  reacquainted with my best friend. That one who always had good advice when you…

"I am sure there will be an ocean of purple tears on that day! Happy tears!"

Hey!! I want to share how BTS changed my life So, to start, I’ve to tell you about a little history of my life. I really hope you can read this, because this memory is the most precious thing I have. I am 25 years old and since I was 3 months old I was diagnosed with atopic dermatitis. That’s is a health problem that totally destroys the self-esteem of all carriers ’cause we always have a scaling body and wounds, and in my case, it mainly affects my face. So throughout my life I had to deal with the fear of people seeing me in times of crisis ’cause…

BTS is more than just a band, more than just music or entertainment. They are real people with emotions, who care and are so humble, honest and hardworking. They are able to connect with their fans in ways most celebrities disregard nowadays.

“Save Me, I’m Fine” is the anagram tattoo I have on my arm with one of the Love Yourself flowers connected, these words, so simple and complete, reminds me to be conscious of my thoughts, feelings and to always love myself, they give me hope, and strength to acknowledge sometimes I might need saving, however ultimately with BTS, I’m Fine.
