How did you become an ARMY?

[luhdasha]

I think it would be somehow better if they all go together, kinda rip the bandaid off. I mean when Suga was gone with his shoulder surgery you could really feel that absence. Like you said, I think it would be hard and they wouldn’t even try to replace members if they didn’t all go together. But that’s just my humble opinion lol

[Madeleine, ~ channie ~]

Yeah, exactly, ripping the bandaid off instead of the slow pain of missing the few members that are in the military 😭. Exactly, it was really empty without Yoongi, case in point.

One of my classmates was talking about jungkook and out of curiosity I looked up who he was and well listened to boy with luv and danger, from there I fell in love with it and knew that it was my placeψ(｀∇´)ψ

I became a fan in April/May 2020. They really helped me get through some hard times when the world just shut down and everyone had to quarantine. I've been hooked ever since!

Wow, your parents bought you an album even when you didn't even listen to them?? My parents would never lol.

My friend was listening to Serendipity by Jimin and she let me listen and I was like idk about it and then one night i text her what was the name of that song and my love for BTS and Kpop grew from there

[it'sSid]

One of my friend was (still is, don't blame her tho... Who isn't?) OBSESSED with k-pop and BTS was her top. And she always told me to listen to them... And one random day... I was pretty bored and texted her... And (ofc) she was like "go listen to BTS" and... I was like.. "yk, what.. Fine! I'll do it... But, I bet it's not my type of music" (oh... little did I know!) and... She send me like.. 4-5 of their mvs... (i think it was... Boy with luv, idol, DNA, fake love and Dynamite) and I watched those... And watched more... And more... And a lot more.... And somehow found their episodes... And... Guess that was it! Ever since... I'm obsessed

[Pete]

Yes I was skeptical too but I’m glad I gave it a chance because it really opened my mind to try new things

It's impossible for anyone to pass by the beauty of Jimin 😌

Ooooh, I loooved "Black Swan", that performance was toooo good! I also love to get to know the artist but there are just too many groups to fully get to know them all sometimes 😭 Oh wow! My biases are the same! Although a lot of the members are my biases now, Jimin is still my ult and will be with me forever 🥰

[dlana]

Being an ARMY is the best thing that happened in my life. It was 2019 when I started to kinda like BTS and other Kpop bands, I only listened to their music since all of my friends loved them. But when covid came, i started watching so much more BTS content. I was literally obsessed and still am! ๐·°(৹˃̵﹏˂̵৹)°·๐
Love you, BTS and ARMY 😘

[ruwen]

when i became an army, dynamite was extremely popular. i knew the name and my friends loved bts so i decided to check them out myself. i listened and watched bts's dynamite mv and i fell in love with their music and all the boys! that day, i totally regretted not searching them up before. anyway, i love bts :,)

Ooooh, a kind of new ARMY lol. I always feel like "Butter" came out such a short time ago lol, but it's been a while.

IKR? It was released at 2021 and it’s almost 2023! Use to think that Dynamite was recent but it’s almost 3 years 🥺

Yeeess. Omg yeah, "Dynamite" was so long ago!!

[aria (jimin's version)]

Hardcore army here lol! Boy With Luv is the reason why I became an army and why I love bts (and a k-pop stanner)!! BTS is still my ult and that day, I felt a connection between them, I don't think there's any way any other group will replace bts. 🥰 Jungkook is my ult and I love the rest of them equally.

[dlana]

Same! I love BWL! It's such a bop! It was also one of the first songs that got me into k-pop lol :)
I feel such a connection with them too and it's so sad that they're going to the military 😭😢 *sigh* Jin... :(((

[aria (jimin's version)]

It's pretty sad. But I guess they have to and it would be unfair if they didn't because other artists had to. I believe they were already overdue but I'm not too sure
Either way, I hope that the boys still stay together later on in the future :)) That's what really matters to me. The 7 of them still have a strong friendship!

Yeah, Jin was granted a delay in his military service till he's 30, not all of them though.

so my bestie and I were walking and saw a girl with a cooky plushie and such and she told us where it was from ect..
a few months later I had seen a rumor that this band called bts was gonna maybe have another tour close to us. So next time I saw her I told her and she cried, saying she might get a chance to see them..I stood there thinking man this must be an incredible band to be crying over
a few months later my bestie had listened to them a bit and was like here I think you'll love this song! and had me listen to seesaw. I instantly fell in love and the rest is history

First I song you heard: Seesaw
the song that made me become a fan: Magic shop
my first favorite: Yoongi
Bias: Yoongi

[Mariana]

sooo my Best friend have tried for yearss to introduce me to bts, until in 2021 I think I Saw the mcdonald's comercial and THE VOICE OF RM!!!! I text her and i was like DUDE WHO IS THAT GUY and i saw jk with that Trunks hair and istg i fell in love right there and when i listen to life goes on i felt i was home

Jk was my first bias, even tho i needed like 2 weeks to distinguish him from V and Jin

but un january Hobi became my bias and suga and jimin are my wreckers
and RM is just the most important person in my life

so thanks to my bestie, for 5 years she tried to make me like bts but un my defense i thought one direction would come back lol

[dlana]

Ahhh I love all of 'em! Yessss we needed that Mcdonald's commercial lol
Also dww it took me forever to distinguish members from every band I stan but now I'm like, "Why the heck did I thought they were similar"? lol

i listened to bts at 2019 when bwl came out because of my army crazy friends and later on at 2021 THAT's when i began to stan them after watching one run bts episode (cop role-play one). i started messaging my friend "WHO'S THAT!" "who's the blonde guy?" "who's the guy who they keep calling a horse" bro i fell in love with them right that moment which made me a crazy army just like my friends!

I'm more of a k-drama girlie so I found out about k-pop through k-dramas and coincidentally stumbled upon BTS's Spring Day MV a couple of days after release (2017)
I listen to a variety of k-pop groups but the only band I really fell in love with and keep up with is BTS.
