When you need them most
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 following year my husband lost his job, we became empty nesters, had a failed business and moved. Things were not great. One day I caught a BTS MV on YouTube and fell head first down the rabbit hole. They were the hope, the joy, the laughter, the fun that I so desperately needed. I spend my time watching all the content I can find, collecting albums and volunteering for a fanbase. I have met so many amazing people, learned skills that I never thought I could and cannot imagine a day in my life without them. They were there when I needed them most and I will be forever a grateful ARMY.
