• BTS helped me heal after my parents died

    BTS’s music, their friendships, their relationship with ARMY, and their message of hope and self-love lifted me out of a deep, dark pit of despair. I still have bad days, but when I do, I listen to BTS’s music or watch their videos and I feel comforted. It becomes zero o’clock.

  • 7 year journey

    It took me 7 years from their debut to find BTS. But my journey to them started the year they debuted. Without Taekwondo, K-dramas, and OSTs, I might never have found them. Clearly, it was meant to be, with all the little details that came together to make it happen.

  • True Love

    May 18, 2018.  The day that changed my life. I was picking my grandkids up from school and they asked for my phone to play a video. While listening to the song, Fake Love, I asked my grandson who was singing. This was my introduction to BTS. I remember asking him if he understood what they were signing and he said…

  • My Bangtan Story

    Growing up I would unload in journals and diaries. Sharing events, important memories. I would write poems and even the occasional short stories. Using my alter ego to identify my persona. Even as a young adult my writing carried on ,though I never saw it as more than a Hobbie or way to cope.    For me writing and music have…

  • The Colors of BTS

    Hearing a different sound for the first time was a relief because I had told myself that I would no longer listen to any more music if I didn't like this album. BE provided me with that comfort I never thought I needed with the Covid-19 pandemic.

  • you&me,It’s”us”

    Hi~ This is Army. I think we were in middle school and my twin sister and I heard chatter about Korean bands. We started following many groups at that time. Ah, but we loved BTS in a different way. “You found them when you needed them the most” It’s true! BTS’ behavior with fans was great, I felt like I have…

  • For my reasons

    همونطوری که یونگی یه بار گفته هر وقت به بنگتن نیاز داشته باشیم اون ها رو پیدا می کنیم  برای منم همنطور بود وقتی برای اولین بار دیدمشون که همه دنیا ساکت بود ، کرونا فرمانروای زمین شده بود و من در اتاقم داخل تاریکی غرق شده بودم . ولی اون ها نور من شدن راه رو بهم نشون دادن و…

  • How BTS helped me be OK with not being OK

    Then BTS told me that I don’t have to be strong, that I can be a bit messed up and I was suddenly breathing. They also told me all the ways they weren’t strong, all the ways they are messed up, and it made me feel warm. They weren’t telling to get over it or to cheer up, they said, “I…

  • Every day with BTS

    On December 9, 2022, I was alone in my hotel room while the rest of my family were at my oldest daughter’s rehearsal dinner for her wedding the following day. While I was a little sad that I had to quarantine because I had COVID, I was comforted by listening to RM’s, “Indigo.” So, I thought to myself, “how did I…

  • Young Forever – My Chapter

    It all started with a television show. Bored and channel surfing one Saturday night, I happened to land on Saturday Night Live.  Emma Stone was just introducing that week’s musical guest, BTS. (Huh? - Obviously I HAD been living under a rock because I’d never heard of them before.  Ever.)  But they were cute and the song was catchy. Wait…they were…

  • —My BTS Epiphany—

    The real definitive turning point of no return was a week before the Busan concert. I was watching videos of them on YouTube, when my younger sister called and said my father had unexpectedly passed away that morning. I had been estranged from him for several years. He was divorced from my mom and we had fought when she got sick.…

  • You Don’t Find BTS, They Find You

    It was not a matter of when because I had definitely made up my mind that I was going to commit suicide it was just a matter of how I was going to do it.  It was a couple days after Christmas and I was laying in bed waiting for the sun to come up and I kept hearing this song…

  • Yup ARMY for Life

    Back in December 2016 at the age of 46, my daughter and myself went to visit her online friend from Brazil who was on vacation in Canada.  Her friend was a fan of BTS.  I had never heard of the group and when she showed me the Blood, Sweat & Tears video, on her phone as we walked through a mall,…
