My Story of becoming a BTS's Army...
An edit from my insta edit page ( @its_btsaestheticedits) Click here to visit my insta page |
Around 2019, I was listening to ONE DIRECTION .Yes , you have read correct . I know , the group was on hiatus from 2015 but I have started listening to them in 2018. So , I was just searching about it then YouTube recommended me a video related to BTS's interview . I don't remember what was the video about but it was an interview . Simply , I ignored that video . Yeah , I was thinking " who are they?" , BTS - Behind the Scene , no that's not behind the scene , it's Beyond the Scene. I was not sure about the full form at that time but I know now.
Screenshot of a scene in make it right |
As per above statement, Firstly I ignored them . Then after some days, I was watching a music channel called " VH1 " , an english song channel , I listened something on it. That music hits my mind and I was really blowed off . That song was Map of the Soul : Persona 's Make it Right ft. Lauv . The song sounds really great . I have listened to that song thousands of time and I am not at all bored from it and that is a really big thing because I easily get bored . The lyrics too left a great impact on me. Then later , I came to know that the song was written by the king of lyricists " Ed Sheeran " . He not only writes his own song but also for other artists as well . " Love yourself " sung by Justin Bieber was also written by Ed Sheeran.
Now , I know who is BTS . Around October I listened make it right and started recommending others to listen them but people are people , they started judging them . They were saying " They are looking like girls " , "The songs are in Korean , how can you understand it ?" . Dude the word subtitles exists in this world and all of the above you should acknowledge others culture , then they will acknowledge yours . No , they don't understand . Now , exposure towards kpop begins and I started exploring about them more and more. When , I watched " Boy with Luv ft. Halsey" , first time , I thought it was OK but after some days, listening it on the loop I found that song so catchy . They never disappoint their fans(army) , every year they tries new things . Each and every album is so different from each of them .

I faced problem in understanding which one is which . Yes , like others I would say that they look same but wait I recognized one member in every video which I was watching during those days and that was Jungkook- golden maknae( my bias) . Bias is actually the favourite member in a kpop group. Then there is another word in kpop ' Bias Wrecker' , which means another member of the same kpop group who make you confuse that who is your bias and mine bias wrecker is V ( Kim Taehyung) . In December, I finally became army " An Indian BTS' s Army ".
Hope you enjoy and not felt bored after reading my story of becoming an Army . Leave your story in the comment box and I will put every story in my INSTA story . You can also see other Armys' stories there on my insta highlights ( ShareYourStories ).

ReplyDeleteI started drooling over them, when I knew they were boys!!
I am happy that I met them♥
My bias is Taehyung and bias wrecker is Jungkook
ReplyDeleteIts all when i need u era , that time when im down and have depression and anxiety, nobody knows it even my parents, i keep hurting my self and one day i found i need u song , its feel like they need me to be live and hold them tight ��, since that im slowly changes my self eventhough its hard to do , everyday getting hate and everyday i want to be a better person , its been a rough year but when one day i decided to do suicide and butterfly song release , i cry when i heard that song , they like dont want me to go away cause thats make them sad ,ngl being live with divorced parents really hard, getting depression and hate , and year and year passed away , i choose to stay cause i have one mission to do, its was makes my dad proud to me, i want him see me successful and prove my toxic family that he raised me well, and its all thanks to bangtan who always make sure i love my self and do whatever that make me proud , tbh even this day i still think that im not supposed to live in this world I'll always thinks i should dead or smh ,but then i found my bestfriend it was my army friends they always advice me and i not regret knowing them eventhough we are far away ti each other but i love them as my true friends ��✨��

Proud of you as you stand like a pillar in front of your problems . I am feeling proud to be part of this fandom as you all are so strong with beautiful souls . Thanks for telling your story . May God bless you with a beautiful life .
DeleteI became an army in January this year.. Ik I was too late.. But I discovered them back in 2017....the first song I heard was idol on the vh1... I mean i was like ok y r they so hyped up so i heard their songs.. Almost all.. N then I just liked 4...1. Idol. 2. Mic drop.. 3. Fire.. 4. Not today.. Thats it. N nothing else.. Then in November I heard boy in luv n i loved the song... Then in January during their comeback... I was like let me learn their names.. N then boom.... I got addicted to them n i fell in love w them... Tbh it was my best decision to Stan then n enter into kpop.... Bts plays a huge role in my life n I love my fandom too much...
ReplyDeleteALSO coz of bts... I have found amazing friends including u ofc! I mean.. There's nothing more I could ask for.. They have tight me how to love myself first and pulled me out of a dark stage in my life...
I love bts too much����
Your story is like a roller coaster . They have really powerful existence . After watching them in interviews , run bts and etc videos , you feel more connected to them in their MVs . I was also not get into BTS after watching their MVs but one day I listened RM 's UN speech , I was like ....it is so good . His every word got stuck into my brain especially the line " No matter who you , where you came from , your gender identity , your skin color , just speak to your self " . From that he became one of my greatest inspiration .
DeleteOops, I started my story he heh he hehe in between .
Thanks for sharing your story . Enjoy your Bangtan life with Army friends .
For me it was around 2017 during vacations....So I was with my cousins at that time and they were crazily in love with kdramas and kpop and especially BTS��
ReplyDeleteThey used to always talk about them like their songs, their albums, their old stories, and they knew all of their names n other stuffs so to me it was like a complete alien language I couldn't understand ANYTHING what they spoke about them. I slowly got annoyed cuz I couldn't understand anything and then they started explaining me about them. It was still too hard for me to get their names and recognize cuz back then I thought they all looked the same. I actually even lost interest but then they literally started "teaching" me their names and all that and then cuz they forced me I actually started to understand them and believe me I was completely inspired by their stories. I fell in love with their songs. I kept watching the same videos like a thousand times. And then unexpectedly I turned out to be super crazy for them. Right now they are one of my favourite bands in the world and I absolutely love them a lotttt������������
I must say that it is such a well explained story . It is really hard to accept something which we are not familiar to us , especially when there is a cultural difference. For me also they all look similar in the starting days when I was getting into BTS . The person I was able to differentiate first was Jungkook and then he became my bias . Thanks for sharing your little sweet story . Indeed you make more Bangtan's memories .
DeleteLove reading your story
ReplyDeleteHey Im Zyfa...Im 19 years old and I am an army...I have been army since 2015...back then i was really impressed and fall in love with bts.All these 7 boys really make my life different and give hopes to my life.
During my early years becomes army ...I have not many friends who is army too...and some people find me weird cause I keep on fan them and shout evertrime watching their shows and mvs.But now Im grateful for becoming army with all those armys that I found around the world.Army and Bts thought me to love myself even more 😊💜
Your story made me feel aweeeeee so sweet . The line in your story that you shout everytime watching them is relatable with me as I also do this and my mother always smile at me and say what you understand ? It is in Korean and I always replied to her that I translate it in English and enjoy their songs as it is full of motivation and always fill you with energy . Now recently I heard her singing boy with luv & spring day ....hehe hehe .....
DeleteThanks for sharing your story . Hope you make more Army friends . My best wishes are with you .
Wow, that was a great journey for you!! Okay so I remember when I use to get recommendations from YT from Bangtan but then I just ignored them . It was 2019,one of my friend used to share a lot about BTS. So I just googled about it and saw 7 handsome members�� and found out that they are Korean I stopped there saying "how they are fangirling them without understanding them haha".And again during this quarantine I googled about them to just memorize their name after having a huge crush on V and decided just to solostan (okay don't judge me).But now gratefully I am a strong OT7 stan now and got addicted to them day by day. Started watching their MVs and Run BTS etc etc. Whenever I get depressed I just watch them. They taught me how to love myself, speak for myself, to be confident. I never thought that a musical boy band can cure depression like this. I love them so much . I will support them untill my death. I got so many online Army friends now . Stanning them was the best decision for me .I regret not stanning them from beginning .So,that's all . I am crying now ,Nooo!
ReplyDeleteAnd my bias is V and bias wrecker OT7 and the very first song I went crazy for was Boy with luv. Hehe. Thank you.
That's so sweet story , love to read your words as they are really powerful and good to listen that BTS makes you happy when you are low .
DeleteIn the starting , every Army says that this is my bias or that is my bias but after that when they fully into BTS , they become OT7 .
Thanks for sharing your story . Wish you a happy life .
My journey... I'm a huge fan of anime so from Japan I got to know about Korea I started watching kdrama and at that time I was into exo , shinee and some other groups but never really devoted . First Bangtan song was Boys in Love and I fell in love with V and his orange hair so I started listening more at that time I don't think I was ARMY. When I Need You came out I watched and I was literally in tears. I was going through a lot of shit mentally because I was not fitting into any bubble. I was trying too hard to believe in what my parents believe , trying too hard so that I can be liked by others and all. After watching it I dunno what happened but I felt like "Ahhh.. I'm not alone " since that day I call myself ARMY . When I was in 8th- 9th grade I started hurting myself like slapping, hitting. During starting it was not that much but slowly I started using pins, thermacol cutter and knife on my arms, legs . I know it will sound sick but I really liked it ,it was fun I was smiling and laughing on my own, it felt ME . Later that year Bangtan announced comeback with LOVE YOURSELF: HER at that time I was like " I cannot do this because they are speaking about loving yourself" so I decided to stop , Only after that I realized that I was becoming really addicted to it . Initially weeks I wanted it so bad. Slowly slowly I was able to completely get over . They literally just saved my life .Because of them I was able to find such a beautiful community called ARMY ,made me realize the importance of loving oneself and " it's okay". I still can't say "I love me" but I can proudly say "I'm trying my best to love me everyday ". I so proud of them and us we have come so far , have become a better human and I'm sure we'll be together till the end of our life . Thanku BANGTAN SONYEONDAN and ARMYs. BORAHAE.
ReplyDeleteYour Story is so emotional . It really touched my heart especially the ending, when you said that Love yourself album has motivated you to not to hurt yourself and the line where you said that you have started loving yourself melted my heart . My fav album is Love Yourself and I can't explain that what I'm feeling now .
DeleteYour story truly tells that you are a strong person .
I just wanted to say that don't really care about what people say , just live upon your own anvils , you will find the reason of loving yourself .
Thanks for sharing this beautiful story with me . May God bless you with beautiful & bright life .
My story of being an Army-
ReplyDeleteI wanted to become a doctor from childhood and after 12th I joined coaching. Unfortunately I didn't get seat. Although I took admission in engineering, I started being devasted and depressed. I gained 10+kg weight and because of that my 3years relationship ended up coz my boyfriend was ashamed of me being fat. As I was having frequent anxiety attack I started looking for positivity. Meanwhile at the same time my roommate was a Army and I was inspired by seeing her be happy. So finally I become a army too. It's been 2years and I love myself, our boys have taught me to be humble and generous. I'm always Greatful and thankful to them and I always promise to make myself a better person each day💜Borahae Bangtan Borahae Army💜😚
What I felt from your story is that it is based upon love yourself . You love yourself that is really important coz you are every thing for yourself . When no one is there for you , you are there for yourself to console and to lift up . People come & go but you are always there for you Remember this always .
DeleteThanks for sharing your story . Hope you have great life and you met great people .
This was really great! I love it how you've kept it raw and interesting.
ReplyDeleteIn december 2018, I was stressing over neet and stumbled upon a video recommendation on youtube. My brain goes : "who are they? I've seen them somewhere though?? " so I watch that video " idol". Two seconds in and I was a fan. I went on to watch fake love too. For the next 2 weeks or so I watched those videos everyday. Fast forward to now, a year and a half later, I'm so thankful to have them in my life. Not only am I doing better for myself, because of who they are and what they taught me, but I've also been doing better for others. If not for them, I would've never had the courage to be myself. BTS is not just a boyband. Army is not just a fandom. FR.
Ya I totally agree when you accidentally met them and it was just like boom . Who are they ? What I have seen just now ? and all such kinda question come up as they have really impactful personalities . I can also feel the vibes from your words that they have a really great impact on you and your journey for loving yourself . Your words are really powerful and impactful too . Love your story and thank you for sharing . May you have a bright life .
DeleteSo my story is somewhat same like yours. I heard BTS' 'Make it Right' ft. lauv as soon as it was released (ofc YouTube's recommendation)
ReplyDeleteI loved the song but I didn't pay much attention towards BTS. So it was in November I was watching Taylor's interview in the Jimmy fallon show where I saw BTS performing ''Idol" and that's when I became an army. Their energy while performing was smthng I was watching for the first time and the singing too was awesome. So that they I spend nearly 3-4hours reading and watching abt them. It took me 1week to recognise theri faces lol. And that's how I became an army. They helped during one of the worst phases of 2019 (for me) so I own them my life. I hope I can see them one day or maybe tell them my story and their impact on our lives. SARANGHAEE💜
Good to see that someone has a similar story like me and YouTube play a huge role in this . If YouTube was not there , we will never be able to come to know about BTS . Sometimes I feel grateful for them hehehe but on the other side they seems drunk when they delete their MVs' views .
DeleteI also wanted to tell them what I have learned from them and what role they play in making me now who I am .
Thanks for sharing your story with me . Enjoy your Bangtan life .
Until September 2018, for me bts represented a group of which my cousins were crazy. They seem very different to me, Asians? I know nothing about them. I judged the kpop before really listening to it. A year later b"with my luv" had really made a world buzz and I listened to it a little by mistake in the car of my friends without knowing that it was BTS. But then I didn’t expect it to be part of my life later. when I got home I looked for it on the internet and listened to all their songs and then looped it all summer. it was too much torture not to listen to it. Why I love their music that much?beyond the idols they are, their songs tell a story, make you travel. ������
ReplyDelete^my favorite songs ? mic drop, dna, go go, no more dream, fake love, not today ... ^
That's nice , you must have a great time while listening to them and discovering them . They truly play an important role in every Army's life . Their existence make us feel special . They taught us how to love yourself . Their songs , music, behavior , and everything is just unique .
DeleteThanks for telling your story . May you have a Bangtan Style life . Borahae

ReplyDeleteAwe that was such a sweet story . Full of aegyo . If you told anyone and then they don't like BTS , just ignore coz its their likes and dislikes . I also in the starting days was always excited to tell about them to everyone but no one was and is interested in your interest . But there is my best friend who always listen to me even if tell boring stuffs to her . She listen to it very enthusiastically and when I told her about them she accepted them as very unique people .
DeleteThanks for sharing your story . May God bless you .
Since everyone is writin bout their story..
ReplyDeleteMy bts story is ..i got pulled into this fandom by my childhood friend...whom I met after a very long time. I told her how I'm so much into kdrams these days and she was overwhelmed and started asking me questions bout Korean music and kpop bands..and that's when she mentioned the name 'BTS'..It was all new to me I had no idea who or what they were..She didn't show me their photos or mvs at first but just a song, the 1st song which I heard of'em and the song which had me into this ARMY Fandom..twas Blood Sweat and Tears...I'm very thankful to her. After reeling onto their addictive mvs, world class visuals..i came through many good kpop artists and bands..but none caught my attention like they did...The best thing i felt bout the boys was their humble nature..which few artists possess.
Back in 2017 they were just a source of good music to me, but now..they are my source of motivation, my healing place, my strength,courage,happiness and most of all a big part of my life..
I came to know that they are not only excellent music makers but also really nice persons..who make me look forward to their success, achievements, beauty and many more sides..
And I'm very proud of them..and myself too to have supported them and loving them from the core of my heart.
Being an Army really means a lot to me.💜💜
That was such a nice story . Thanks for sharing your story in my blog . Wish you a happy bangtan life .
