Hey there, I’m guessing you will get a lot of insights and evidence of BTS’ impact from your little community building contest. Just a side note to Chalfant. There is a Research Community around BTS, with academics collecting data and writing papers on all sorts of dimensions (e.g. their sociological impact, the culture of ARMY). There’s a Conference in California next year, and I saw a call for papers (deadline soon). Just search Research BTS on Twitter. You will find a cluster of scholars there, including ethnomusicians. Also, there is a peer-reviewed Journal entirely devoted to the study of BTS & ARMY: The Rhizomatic Revolution Review, or R3 Journal. Check out the first issue which was published a couple of months ago. Interesting reads. You may contribute your data to a growing repository on BTS and their significance as a phenomenon.
*"What does BTS means to me?"* To put it simply they are the savior. Literally and metaphorically Literally, three years ago i was still in high school. I was waiting my friend in the park, sat on the bench alone as we want to hang out(you know girl's time) so there was one suspicius guy suddenly sat down next to me and talk to me, basically this man was flriting to me(me being still underage at that moment). I was so scared (me being quite and introvert kid) asking and hoping anyone would save me and stop this freak man. Then i remember i have phone try to call my friend. Then he Saw my wallpaper was namjoon selfie(boyfriend look material kinda selfie) then he got mad and said " well if you have boyfriend why don't you said before, waste my time" then he left. I was so shock to reply because first that man was grown adult fricking dude, second he flirt with me who basically still 16 who looks even younger than my real age. I was so relieved and then cried when my friend came and i told them what happened. I was saved by namjoon Metaphorically, when i was in my down whether i was in depression or sadness i run to them. I listen to their music, watching their variety show, laughing to their funny crackhead moments. And i realise they are also human who has down time, Suga has depression, Jimin has anxiety and selt-doubt, even namjoon can be nervous when he gave speak . Then i relaise how 'human' they are. How genuine and humble yet so powerfull and charistmatic. I wanna be this strong person with down to earth personality. I wanna be like them, not in the sense of music (cause i am not musical genius lol) but in sense how they living this life. So then they become my role model So whenever i was in down situation, in my depression, sadness. I remember even BTS can handle their why you don't; "Namjoon didn't speak in front of thousand people about love yourself so you can be weak b*tch" (insert slap myself) "Even Suga can speak about his depression and down Times in his mixtapes means he ready to beat his dark side so why don't you start to open your mouth to the therapist" "Jimin that man perfect as frick can still doubt about his talent, about his voice. but he surrounded by people who understand him, so begin to open your heart to others" So yeah for anyone that think BTS just typical music boyband. No, they are more than that they are my role model and others many role model too. Because i am sure i wasn't the only one saved by BTS. Because i am sure there are many others young people who got help from BTS just like me. Therefore i was so thankfull for them to be my savior just by being themselves living the life.
@@IAR97 I was not emotional, when I read this but your answer made me sob aloud and now I'm full on crying. They have saved with their music thousands of people. I'm not one of them, but I have seen people time and time again say that they stopped their self harming and more because of BTS! Your story is on an equal level with them - it is not a thing that can be compared. It is self-learning, and learning to appreciate yourself enough to love yourself to fight for yourself. And all of that is what you are doing ! i apologize for typos, but i really can't properly see my screen from these tears. I love You for a long time, Army sister! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
@@Pikaxsu thank you army sister💜, the fact you care for stranger like me make you are wonderful person. I am lucky to be part of army that feels like family 💜💜💜
Its not broken its made loose so that fans can use it as mini posters. As most ARMY use it like that for display Last time many ARMY wanted the album pics to be like that. When the Map of the soul: 7 was released.
Noooo don't glue it 😂 It is a separate book! And each photo from that book is actually a mini poster, that's why there are no pictures on the background, they were made to be detached
Hence why the pages are one sided in that section. 😏 The whys and hows of Korean merch take getting used to. BigHit likes to throw us curve balls still. 😅
What Does BTS Mean To Me? Simple put BTS means home to me. somewhere I can go to feel the most comfortable. I found bts in 2014 and was a casual listener. but in 2017 I was going through the hardest moment in my life at the time and BTS showed up and literally saved my life. Now because of bts I am married and have 2 kids and im a college student, double major. and im learning korean, my third language. Anything that has to do with bts in where i feel safe and at home, theres no bullying or judgement. Whether thats a youtube vids, or talking to other army. Bts is also my home because they gave me 7 best friends, plus 1 army bestest friend. A few months ago I actually drove 16 hours to meet my army friend in person, I attended her wedding! BTS means a safe home, happiness, and friends for life. Now I use what bts taught me to help other people
What BTS Means to Me BTS is comfort and a smile when I am having a bad day. BTS is slowly making me want to love myself. I have not seriously started to yet but when I am having a bad day and hating myself, BTS is always at the back of my mind telling me that I should try. For being across the world and having a drastically different lifestyle than me and despite being the biggest music group in the world, BTS are the most relatable people out there. I especially love Suga's (Agust D's) mixtapes and can relate to some of his personal struggles. I felt trapped in my own little world until I discovered BTS this year and now that I am caring about people across the world, I am more interested in the people around me and can care more about them.
What does BTS mean to you: I heard BTS when I was in a ... I won’t call it a dark place, but a fog. There was no meaning that I could find in my life, everything seemed pointless, and there was no connection from day to day; every minute was a repeat of the previous one. When I started listening to BTS, the lyrics and the moods in the songs - especially SUGA’s - spoke to me in a way I’d never quite experienced before. Here, in their words, was the exact feeling I could never put words to. That understanding, that commiseration, just knowing that it wasn’t something broken in me, that someone else had felt this, was a lifeline. BTS didn’t cure me, or give me strength: they gave me the determination to find the strength in myself to find a way out. That’s what BTS means to me.
What BTS means to me: BTS is what I needed in my life. BTS teaches it's listeners all the things we needed to know that no one else taught us; Love yourself (all parts, even the parts you dislike or want to forget), it's okay to not have a dream, and it's okay to dream big (don't let others tell you otherwise), follow your own path in life, if you're willing to put the time and effort into something you can achieve anything, there will always be haters but you can rise above them, and that you should surround yourself with people who will help you on your journey, not those that will pull you down. BTS saved me from my darkest time, just as many ARMY say; "You find BTS when you need to". Thank you for always having an open mind and reacting honestly to these fantastic guys. Good luck to all participants! Borahae!!!!!
BTS, for me, is not only a group consisting of seven members but a community of million people who are going through tough times in life. The community that BTS and ARMY have established is constantly helping each person to get through tough times, because they consider you as a family member that you can run home to and cry on to whenever you need them. When BTS first started making music in 2012 and debuted in 2013, they've gone through things tougher than any other groups. People tried to cut their wings for them not to fly. I felt that when I was on the tenth grade. I was a consistent Top 1 of our batch in my High School but people always come at me and saying harsh words like "you can't be this/that so stop trying so hard." I was also smart-shamed by my classmates and peers but just like BTS, I persevered more to prove them that I deserve to fly. I finished tenth grade by being the Top 1 in our batch and achieved High Honors. To tell you frankly, I didn't fullu do it just to prove muself but because I needed to repay the hardwork of my parents, since I came from a poor family of which I am proud of. It wasn't easy at first but BTS played a major role in my life during the past years. BTS means a companion that will walk with you and will help you to get up whenever you stumble. Few hours ago, Jin released a statement saying how he came up with the song 'Abyss' and I'm crying because he had a burnout. I'm still young but I know how hard it is to feel that you're tired and unworthy of all the things you received. It is the hardest point in life because the conflict is within yourself. BTS don't really say how to go through things but they'll tell you what they did and how they went through it. They will hold the light for you to see clearly your path to avoid you from getting hurt. The same feelings also can be felt on the songs 'Epiphany' and 'Awake' and '00:00'. These songs are so meaningful to me because it speaks things I couldn't utter myself. It has become my daily playlist that will calm my unwarranted thought to came rushing unto my consciousness. In conclusion, BTS is not a group but a part of our life, for they have and still is playing a major part in our identity and how we perceive life.
You didn't break it. Now you can use them as pics in the CD holder thing or as mini posters. The writing is their work notes. What BTS means to me- I found BTS through Suga. The Agust D Daechwita video was fire so I checked out his song, The Last. The raw honesty, emotional tone and cadence, and content hit me so hard that I googled him. Through that, I found BTS. The honesty, message, and music sucked me in. Their music has become something that I can fall into when I need a break from my own brain. Music has always been a huge escape, and I tend to lean towards bands with real messages and honest lyrics. BTS has that in spades. So, bottom line? They give me a safe space to escape to, a space where others have felt the same way, where people genuinely want to lift you up, and where it's okay to not be okay. (And putting in a request for you two to watch BTS's MV for NO-a track from an early album-because it talks about the rigid education system in Korea. I'd love to see what you two think about the lyrics....and the MV is great.)
What bts means to me: the main reason why I am a happy person as I am today. When I see their hard work I realized that to achieve my dream, even if its difficult, I should put all of my efforts to do it and dont listen to the criticism of the others. Besides that, now I choose to love myself every single day. They didnt taught me to love myself, but they remind me every day how I am a gem✨. Bc of them I’ve never been happier and even when I am sad they make me feel better. Only armys can relate the power that they can do to someone💜
WOW I've only been an ARMY for little over a year now, but BTS came into my life at the PERFECT moment, it's almost scary! A few months after I was introduced to BTS, they started releasing singles from MOTS:7 and I love them! Shadow, Ego, Black Swan Orchestral version and ON kinetic manifesto all hit different than ANY other BTS songs because I was hospitalized for a week when they came out. I was in the hospital during JHope's birthday and I listened to Ego especially and these songs mostly. They really helped me get through hard times and I purple them for that! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
What does BTS mean to me ? A healer, a friend and a medicine. It was 3 years ago, I was diagnosed depression because of school works, pressures and tons of problems. I was not able to talk to anyone, I locked myself and always crying in my room for the whole month. I never thought that I do experienced such thing since I myself is a fighter, I didn't know how to deal with it except for shutting down myself from everyone. But I was healed by a kpop group BTS, no sugarcoating but hella yes they were my medicine together with my friends and parents. It happened when I accidentally discovered them through RUclips recommendation during the day I was in my room. Their songs comforts me, I was doubting myself but because of them I started to love myself, invest in myself more and spread my wings and fly. If we start to fully understands their songs you will know what I mean. Through their music you can feel the warmth of love, you are not walking along and how they always tells us that life goes on, run and dream .
What Does BTS Mean to Me? For me, BTS’s journey is one of leadership. The reason they shine so brightly in this world is that it has become so dark. They have a rare ability and (soft) power to connect people, regardless of time and place. Their art, music, and message stand for ideals that counter the unhealthy versions of competition, fame, and wealth that are overly-valued by unbalanced individuals and societies. For me, they are living proof that people can, and should, find their own way to create a life of personal meaning and purpose, despite the possibility of years of obstacles and barriers. Through example, BTS inspires me to become a more hopeful, courageous, resourceful, committed, patient, playful, energetic, vulnerable, ethical, and more loving version of myself.
What BTS means to me? I had a bit of hard time during quarantine and then sometime in March randomly stumbled upon them on youtube, saw the colorful MVs they had and chose to give them a chance. I had no idea about the world I was getting myself into. Saw the videos the positivity they were spreading, the choreographies, awesome songs and live stages they had and I was constantly amazed by them with every new video I saw. I was finding myself spending hours a day watching their content I was hooked. Then sometime later I found their B-sides and the inspiring lyrics they had. Now whenever I need motivation for anything in life I turn to BTS and I can honestly say my life will never be the same again. They mean everything to me! Also I love your reactions just keep going.
What BTS means to me -- falling for BTS the Best decision of my life. Just surfing RUclips in my high school study hall when I came across Blood Sweat and Tears. I fell into the black hole immediately. A goner from the second I met them. I still remember the sleepless nights following, up binge watching bombs and cracks and doing anything and everything to memerize their names and positions. And now They are my everything, they mean so much yo me that they are part of my life and I hope forever. I love them so much!! I always check up on their news and music. I guess thinking about them makes me happier. Hand the seven pieces of my heart to each of you just as I did then. Their music grabbed ahold of me and comforted me through many struggles. Their laughter and personalities captured my attention and brightened my days.I have laughed with them . Cried with them Smiled with themScreamed with them Soared with them Sang with them Celebrated with them Grew with them No amount of words could ever possibly come close to the feelings of love and care I have for them in my heart. They truly do hold seven pieces of my heart that I'm never getting back. I actually had tears in my eyes while writing this as it made me realize how much they have changed me for the better. A big portion of who I am today results from bangtan's postive influence in my life. I hope maybe if you did read all of this that it could help you know my story as an ARMY💜 more and why I am proud to be apart of the fandom that represents our boys. It certainly helped me discover apart of myself as an ARMY that I hadn't before. My Twitter is - Yoonmin6_L Thankyou for the giveaway💜💜💜💜💜
BTS MEANS TO ME... something So Special because my shy, introverted teenage daughter started telling me about them and I also fell in love with them! BTS was a source for my Mom-Daughter relationship to bloom through mutual enjoyment! This led to deep meaningful discussions formed from their Unique Cross Cultural , Boundry Breaking Topics! I saw her mature in thought and freedom! We both learned to Love Ourselves a Lot more than we did Before BTS entered our lives !!! ! !!! StayGold Brothers💟
I started learning about Kpop in early 2011...at the age of 30...just broke up with the dad of kids... it opened an healing world to me...I understood english (I'm french) but it helped me improve myself...then end of 2016...I dug into BTS, never came out... I have agoraphobia...I went to see BTS in a full packed stadium for 2 days in 2019: that's what BTS means to me. They helped me to overcome this stupid fear. Still do until now
WHAT BTS MEANS TO ME: BTS is my everyday happiness...my day won't end without seeing them or listening to their music or hearing their laugh. they makes me smile everyday. I found BTS when I was trying to found myself again like I had a very hard time few years ago and I found them on yt and its fate that I listen to idol where they singing about "you can't stop me loving myself" and their is no coming back. as I'm introvert myself I can't comprehend my feelings well to others. their song comfort me everyday and I'm growing with them. them make me realise to love myself and love other more...be patient more about things and to others. I'm not good with my words and english not my first language and sorry if my answer is haphazard. and thank you for doing the GA. ps. you can listen to idol
What BTS means to me is strength. I started liking kpop in 2012. It was totally different from the things that play here in my country or the sounds I liked. But then I saw with my bestfriend boy in luv and I just knew these guys were good, so by 2015 I became fully ARMY. BTS is a group that shows their passion, talent and their skills!! They worked hard for their place and they still do!!. They help me go through all the sad things that were going on around me in my time at school. They also help my best friend. The two of us could just sit there listening to those beautiful songs, help each other through everything. For years, BTS been saying how you have to start loving yourself first to ease your life, but up until now, I'm still battling my depression and all my fucking issues, and every day I keep going and doing my things with BTS in the background. Even if I still struggle with my worth, I know I'm strong enough and that one day I will be the person I dream to be. I've never had the opportunity to buy an album to show my support to the guys, so I try many other ways. I'm in my last year of university, and I can't afford to spend my money in anything other that isn't my projects or expenses. This would be a fun opportunity to not only me, but for the others that can't afford merch or albums. I wish luck to everyone and also wish for all of you to continue being strong in your lives. 💜
The interesting side of them for me as an old woman... Their fight for their life to be now Their lyrics for the Army who 💜 them Their lyrics to haters not only to diss but build up the haters to be love yourself and notice to manage their anger to be something good as them, create anger to be song or any positive creation that will make hater will proud someday to themself ... Most of all.... How they can make kids under 17 read book of Omela and psychologic Carl Jung and the Greek mythology?????.... And last but not least... You ask Army mom or dad who amazed to their kids suddenly can speak Korean, even writing with hangeul in their diary to make parents cannot read?!?!?!!!!,.... ❤️❤️❤️❤️ As my daughters did.....💜💜💜💜💜💜
Light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul, BTS is one of my biggest motivation in life, my inspirations for my drawings, and pretty much half of my life (I guess I’m being the basic fan now). Their songs are what makes me happy and motivate me to get up from what’s been pushing me down, their stage performances are what make me keep saying “I’m gonna be successful like them, I’m gonna be cool like them”, their posts on Twitter are the one to make me “What is this? Why is Jimin keep posting stuffs?” and end up smiling and clutching my heart in awe looking at their photos, even looking at their faces makes me damn happy I’m like “I don’t know why I’m calling these grown ass men who’s years older than me cute”, c’mon they’re even prettier than most of us (the sad truth). Sometimes I get bored listening to their songs on repeat, keep finding their pictures online through my timeline, so I choose to shut myself from social media and listen to my other non-BTS playlist. Then out of the blue, I suddenly just “Why does it feels weird not seeing BTS on my phone?” and so I get back onto their music. It’s just weird when you’re liking something that you’ve became so attached to that thing and has this peculiar feeling of missing those things when you haven’t see them in like a few days. For me, BTS is the only one to make me feel so (awh this is so cliche but it’s ok i guess, ooh wait wait i used to feel the same with 2NE1). No matter how hard I try to stan for other groups, I’m just “Why is it so hard?? Why isn’t it as easy as when I fell for BTS?” Oh well, God knows why. I sometimes also think about what would happen when BTS finally disband, or what would I do in the future after they disband. Everything wouldn’t feel the same as it was, and everyone would get back to their lives. But I’m always thinking stuffs that might probably happen when they disband like Seokjin getting a wife and they laugh together to his corny jokes (and maybe he’s already a great actor!), Namjoon and Yoongi enjoying their lives getting drinks and write music together, Hoseok teaching a dance class, Jimin and Taehyung going out to places (maybe they’d also already have girlfriends who knows?), and Jungkook making his own YT channel where he upload his GCF vlogs, his song covers, and such, I mean, think about all those things. It’s sad but I can’t lie I want to see them doing those things ㅠㅠ In conclusion, they’re like my bank account. I love it and I take care of it with my soul.
What BTS mean to me: BTS are the friends that bring comfort when Im down...they are also my inspiration to never give up on myself and always strive harder to achieve my dreams💜💜💜
What Does BTS Mean To You ? I discovered BTS a few years ago, in my first years in college. I had a hard time in high school and it was a new start for me. But I happened to face some difficulties. The first one was leaving alone, in a city I didn’t know and not knowing anyone in college. During the first month I discovered BTS and I rapidly love their music and the meanings behind their songs. Then I made a new friend, and I introduce her to BTS. We both became fans. College was really hard, I had depression during my second year and got sick in my third year because of a lack of sleep. But during all of this hard times I had BTS. They became my safe place. I was listening to their music the morning when getting up, the evening while walking home and during the night while working. I watched video on my free time and discussed all the time with my friends about BTS. It became our thing, our way to relieved stress. And there still that safe place, the thing that make us happy and we share. I’m actually participating not for me but because I want to offered an album to this friend and I can’t afford one. She has been as much helpful as BTS and she’s facing a hard time right now. Thank you for your videos, they’re really fun to watch. Sorry if I had made mistake, I’m actually French. Sending you lot of love to you and your families.
It would be very hard to type down what how much BTS means to me and even to my younger sister. Believe me, I'm not exaggerating. I started listening to their songs in 2016, fell in love with the music first and then the members. For 2 months the only song that I had heard from them was blood, sweat and tears and we loved it so much that we used to listen to it on loop for 2 hours everyday haha. Soon became army. I am personally a very under-confident yet social person. Whenever I feel disappointed in myself or start disliking my actions or what I look like, their speeches, their lyrics genuinely remind me to appreciate and love myself. Whenever I'm feeling down, I just listen to their music(any genre) and that instantly makes me happy! Love watching their crack videos and their humble and down to earth personalities. Reminds me to do that myself. They inspire me and I have IMMENSE amount of respect for them. Lastly, I would like to tell you guys that you are doing an amazing job and I love how open minded you are.
the second part of the photobook is bound differently, presumably so you can take the pages out and hang them, which is what i did and what i saw a lot of other armys doing 😌
BTS means my everyday happiness to me. A place that gives me peace and comfort, like a home in a big family. They’re my inspiration, my energy while drawing, picking up my hobbies again. They’re my serotonin in my daily life and thanks to them I met some of my best friends. They help me get through the toughest times and teach me to fight for my dreams and get through my hardships by finding myself.
As an Army opening up albums I always wash my hands wear gloves and be super careful as to not tear or scratch any part of the contents. I laughed so hard how you guys did your unboxing. Fun watching your videos
I remember feeling very low this year and BTS litreally came to without any warning and pulled me into a warm hug. And fortunately it was on my birthday. nothing, no music no person i don't personally know has touched me so much. The amount of happy tears i cried and litreally learnt so much about loving myself is unreal. This experience is like coming back home. BTS doesn't feel like it's something new. It feels like I've been here before, like Its meant to be. Even though i am a baby army i have learnt so much and have deep respet, love and affection for every member. I wish i could thank them for everything they have done for me. It's something i don't have words to describe with but yet here i am. Trying. I hope this was convincing 💜
What BTS means to me: (They are my source of Equanimity) I feel depressed when I wasn't able to pass in any university entrance exam I took, I have a lot of plan, I even have a year planner and stopping from studying is not part of it. I cried a lot because in my mind, all of my classmates are moving forward and I'm stucked, I also thought what other people might think of me for not passing a simple entrance exam. I find different things to do just for me not to overthink however I'm still sad, it has been 6 months but I cannot moved on from my failure until I saw their " Not today" music video, at first I don't know what it means but I feel strong just by the music, I'm hooked, and then I search the meaning of it, from that I fell in BTS rabbit hole. I don't feel the pressure of my failure any more, because of them I understand that struggles and failure is there for us to learn and time will reveal us why we have to experienced it. Just a simple tweet from them makes my day blissful and calm at the same time.
Oh man. What does BTS mean to me? Funny backstory: my college roommate and one of my other friends actually tried to get me into them about 2 years ago, but I wasn't able to get into them (yes I know mistakes were made🤣). Well, fast forward 2 years: my family friend and I were having a videocall in May and she introduced me to them again and made me watch a bunch of videos with her on the call that night. Since then, I started exploring the world of BTS and now I'm Army! Honestly, I would say to me, BTS means happiness. When I'm having a bad or stressful day at school or work, I can count on random BTS videos to cheer me up. In terms of their music, their lyrics are so meaningful and so beautiful. I admire their message of love yourself and protecting the youth. I think what never fails to cheer me up is their personalities. They all have their own personalities that mesh so well with one another and I love it. The family friend that got me into them tells me that I am the female version of Jungkook and she is Jin because like Jungkook, I constantly tease her and mess around with her, and also food is life🤣. Lastly, BTS means happiness to me because of how relatable they are. You would think that being the biggest group in the world right now would get to their heads, but these guys are 7 humble kings. Their love for Army is huge and you can tell, which makes me like them even more. They use their platform to tackle things like social issues, love yourself, and protecting the youth, and they have saved many people worldwide through these messages,and that is why I love them and why they mean so much to me. Okay WOW. Did not mean to write a whole essay for you guys! Sorry!🤣🤣🤣
What bts mean to me: They're the reason why i understand what 'love myself mean'. They taught me how to be a better version of me. Im not a confident person before but now i know how to stay confident and appreciate myself more.Yes, their music has a big impact on me and im so thankful with that💜
I was amazed at how BTS package their albums. All of their albums that I have bought have been like this. It puts American albums to shame ! And some of the albums actually have dvds included in the package. And I have gotten some albums (brand new, not used) as cheap as $18, and you still get the thrill- akin to opening presents on Christmas morning. BTS is the gift that never stops giving ....
Thanks to the people in the discord server for encouraging me to post this. What BTS means to me... I think it's connection. I don't have many close friends and I often 'disconnect' from the world and from myself. But BTS and ARMY remind me that I'm one of thousands of people, and that there is companionship in that, as long as I remember to reach out. Yet I also matter on my own, I have my own unique light that can't be replicated, and that my faults and flaws and my stories are part of who I am, just as much as my laugh and my heart and my body are. And I've learned that all of me is worthy of love. BTS didn't _teach_ me that. They told me, _"you are enough, you matter, you deserve to be loved. But that love has to come from you first."_ But I didn't listen. No, their voices guided me in the dark, when I was lost and disoriented and _so cold..._ I'd just lost my home, you see? I left too many pieces of myself there, to the friends and the family and the house I grew up with, so I felt like half my senses weren't there, I could only hear dampened sound and see washed-out color. And then that day their voices brought me to a room made of mirrors, where they greeted me with warmth and laughter. And I laughed along, but I still hid myself. They kept the dark away, though, and I could feel my edges thaw, so when they offered me a hand I let them lead me. And to the mirrors we went. Once we stood in front of the walls one of them said, _"you see the ugly bits? The ones hidden in your bones?... I see them too. I see them in me just as much as you see them in you. And those ugly bits, they're a part of me, too. Just as your ugly bits are part of you. But let me tell you something. You had to _*_look_*_ for those ugly bits didn't you? You looked in the mirror and you pointed them out. But when I look at you, I only see _*_you._*_ There's some ugly bits we can point out in everyone. That's okay. That's normal. But don't let them distract you from the bigger picture. So, when you look in the mirror what do you see?"_ And I saw me. They didn't make me see it, but they told me to look, just as they had. So I reached out toward the mirror, toward the parts of me that are ugly and mean and happy and kind and beautiful. The girl in the mirror was enough. She was strong, and smart, and kind. And I hugged her. But it was lonely. It was just me and myself in the mirrored room. We shined like a beacon in a sea of darkness. But I remembered that, before, there had been others around me, others who shined and laughed and also had ugly bits. But I was worried that they'd see mine and think they were too much. I was scared that the mean would hurt them and that they'd laugh at the weak, that the painful would sadden them and dampen their joy. But these seven boys stood with me and told me to look, _really look._ I wasn't alone. Like my eyes adjusted to the dark -or the light,- I could slowly see more people around me, looking at the walls and laughing and crying. And the seven people who had lured us there with their voices ran around smiling and hugging everyone, wrapping them in blankets and talking about both the deepest and the shallowest things. And when someone dropped to their knees, sobbing quietly, one of them would crouch next to them and hold them tight. They wouldn't leave until the ones that could laugh and smile and _see_ noticed, so when they let go of that person they wouldn't be alone. They just had to _look._ _I just had to look._ After a while, they stopped checking up on me. Instead they looked at me when someone dropped to their knees, sobbing quietly, and smiled at me as they left. And they smiled, too, when I cried and instead of the darkness I saw the light of everyone around me, and held the hand they offered. Every now and then, I forgot that they, too, cried sometimes. That some days they hid because of the ugly bits. That there were other people who, lured by their voices too, lashed out at them and hurt them. I forgot that they were not our collective guardian angels. But when they dropped to their knees and sobbed quietly, all the people, all the thousands of lights, came forward and offered a smile, and a hug and a hand. So I found connection, in that room. With myself and with others. But I couldn't stay there forever. No one could. Not even those seven. We had things to do, elsewhere; and people to see, elsewhere. And new melodies to hear and laughs to share, elsewhere. And once I'd been in the room of lights and mirrors, the world outside wasn't as dark or as cold. I found light and warmth in the people outside, too. And I could see the world around me, and it was scary and beautiful and so big. I had a lot to live and a lot to see. But the room with the mirrors and the music and the warmth, it has no place in time or space. So when the world turns cold or dark, or when the day was long or the night is too quiet, or when I feel happy and want to share that joy, I follow the voices that guide me home. Because falling for them, for what they stand for, wasn't like falling at all, it was like walking into a house and suddenly knowing you're home.
BTS means a whole new level of standard of work ethics, professionalism & great attitude. They are wonderful human beings & professional at what they do. They are the kind of people you want to be friends with & work together, coz you know that they will be with you side by side all the way, in good times & bad times 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 l'm not sure how the education system works in the US, but l wish that young children are being taught on having good values, good attitude & manners first in schools before starting on any standard education.. Be a human first, then only you impart knowledge... Then only would they do good things in life because of having good values strongly instilled in them... BTS message of Love Yourself is powerful, if you don't love yourself, how can you love others... This creates a lot of positivity & spreading positivity, which the world sorely needs to make it a better place 💜
What BTS means to me: I used to suffer with Anxiety and Depression since 2016 i'm 16 yrs old back then but when I discover BTS this june 2020 Im so thankful that they changed my life ☹❤ i found out that there is so many reasons to stan and love them, there are thousands, a day is not enough to write all of them. I will give three: music, talent and personality. They are not just an idol, they are real artist. They are an inspiration. Their music is different, they add meaning to it and that meaning is so deep that will make you think about the meaning and purpose of life. They don't only talk about relationship, they tackle society issues, anxiety and depression, politics, youth, female empowerment, how beautiful and cruel life is and many other things. Some of us are even suicidal but their music saved us, they became our saviour. They're telling us to keep on hoping for a better days and future. They represents us, youth. They motivates and strengthens us when we feel everything is falling apart. They're giving us hope, insipires and motivates us to work hard and pursue our dreams in life no matter how hard and long it will take because hardwork always pay off. They made me believe in myself and be confident. They're not just good looking but also talented. Their teamwork is the best. They can sing, dance, rap, and the fact that they are the one who are making their songs prove how talented they are. I stan BTS because they are BTS, they are real, so precious to this world that must be protected at all cost. Their personalities will never let you leave the fandom. They don't tell us to push them to reach the top but they told us, "let's hold each other hands and let's reach the top together" and I think that's beautiful. I stan BTS not because of their popularity and trophies but because they ate Bangtan Sonyeondan and I love them. I stan the right people and I'm so happy that I became part of this family (army). I hope you will pick me because I don't have any merch because I can't afford buying those things but I will do my best to pursue my dreams because they motivate me and inspire me. Thank you and Godbless. I'm sorry for the grammar mistakes
First of all excuse my English, it's not my first language. What does BTS means to me? Hm... They are my saviors. I found them out back in March 2016, it was my first semester studying Law (here in Brazil the school year is different from US'). 1 and a half year later around May 2017 i was felling lost. I didn't knew where my life was going, I didn't knew what I should do. I started studying Law because my parents are lawyers and they wanted me to be one as well since I didn't pass the course I wanted at the time. I stopped paying attention to the classes, had no motivation at all to study, and every time I thought about my future I burst into tears because. That's when BTS saved me. There is a song of them called Tomorrow and it talks about pursuing our own dreams and not live some other's dream. The more I listened to it, the more I wanted to confront my parents about my course, and someday it happened. I told them I wasn't happy studying Law and that I wanted to study more to try pass the entrance exams to course Architecture. And that's what I did! Next year I'll start my 4th year coursing Architecture and if wasn't BTS probably I would be unhappy until today and for the rest of my life. I dedicate my life to BTS voting, streaming and buying their albums when I'm able to afford (since the dollar is too expensive for Brazilians right now) because BTS gave the control of my life back to me and now I wanna pay them back. They are my saviors, they are my everything, and I'll be here for them until I die 💜
The reason I love my favorite group BTS ? Perhaps the words of thanks and praise value nothing and express how much I am for them, they are just as one soul that protects me wherever I go, they make my happiness with every passing moment in my life, and in intensity their songs, words and melodies enliven me and embrace me strongly, wiping my tears and You tell me that it is okay, everything will be fine, do not give up cuz life goes on , there is nothing wrong with some gray days and blue days, they are just like a remedy that relaxes the mind, I knew them for four years and it was the best I had. Thanks to them, I learned what the word love means, and to whom I offer it, I present it to myself that I have been so hard on, for myself that has suffered a lot of harm, I offer love to my faults before my afflictions, to love and accept it because it is part of me and what I learned to love myself without deficiency All of what was said above is only a prelude to the love and appreciation I possess of seven boys who charted the path of my life. I finish what I wrote in letters of thanks to you for your kind initiative by gifting followers what reminds them of their favorites, hoping that I will be one of the winners in order to possess what I wanted to possess.
Personally, I found BTS through Boy with Love. Heard the song on the radio one day and it just made me smile. Then, I looked up the video and went down the rabbit hole XD I got really blindsided by the wave of positivity that came with discovering their content and got sucked in completely. I've never really been in any kind of music fandom because I generally don't care too much about music all that much (I know, I know, I'm in the minority here). Discovering their music taught me that I don't NOT care about music, I just feel about most music as I feel about most novels - if they don't manage to touch me emotionally, I don't care about them. And they consistently manage to reach me like that :)
Kpop photocards are like gold. Not just BTS but for each and every group. It can become a war zone as people try to collect all the sets. So putting all of the photocards in one package is very different from what we've seen. I can't wait until you post Blue & Grey and presumably the rest of the tracks because this album is so chill!
BTS my most powerful modulator to express myself and my own potential to the furthest. Without them, my life is miserable. I'm not right here, right now because of depression if did not know the boys. Their music is the medicine that heals me until eventually, I become a better version of myself. Love you guys.
What BTS means to me: I found them with the release of Dynamite and they helped me through the pandemic, but more importantly, I was able to keep fighting, protesting, working for real change in this f'ed up country called USA because they gave me strength. A day may come when losa. But it is not today. And if you are choosing, I am throwing my support to JJ. 💜
I'm not entering (my friend bought me a deluxe album) but I still wanna say what BTS means to me and share that with you two. I'm an author. From 2017 to 2019 I suffered through panic attacks that were crippling. Every time I touched my computer or even a piece of paper I entered a state of freezing and unable to move or breathe. Imagine losing the only thing you've ever been passionate about, the only thing you are good at, and no longer being able to do that thing anymore because of mental health issues. To add on top of that my son, who was three at the time was losing the ability to speak and move and we had to get him speech and delay therapy which was a daily struggle to get him to where he is today. (He is autistic but is in first grade now and is capable of doing everything for his age group now thanks to daily work from me and his therapists.) At the time, I had lost hope. I was suicidal. Depressed. My PTSD was acting up and I was only living for my son so that I could make sure he got the help he needed. Then one day I was watching, strangely, 'Yuri On Ice' (an anime) crack videos on RUclips and someone had edited a clip of RM's song 'Joke' from his first mixtape. (I found this in 2018) At the time, my first thought was "Woah, hes hot and badass, who is he? I know this isn't Japanese but what language is this?" And I fell down the rabbit hole. Fast forward to 2019 and I finally joined ARMY Twitter. I had been lurking, but never really made myself known till then. And weirdly, for the first time since I was 18 (I'm 27 now) I had made friends. I had lost all my friends when I got married and slowly they encouraged me to try to write again, but use BTS to overcome the panic attacks. So in June 2019 I started to write fanfictions. (No I will not give away my fanfic name) I would listen to BTS music as I wrote and slowly, the panic attacks went away. I could touch my laptop again. I could write again. BTS resurrected my dream that had been killed by my mental health issues. Then 'Black Swan' was dropped earlier this year and it was like the catalyst for everything up to this point for me. I am not slowly in the process of writing a novel I plan to publish. It will take time. But when it is ready I will be dedicating it to BTS because without them, I and my dream wouldn't be here today.
@@gracemclean2098 Its amazing how it feels like every ARMY has that one song that resonates with them on such a personal level that it changes them. They really are working miracles. Thank you for your response 💜
For me bts are my superheroes They changed my whole life, and the way i should think in everything i do or have. They just show up in my life like a miracle that's why I love them so much.
BTS is my pill, they make me laugh. Everyday I watch and rewatch their live performances, reviews, news about them, run episodes, in short anything about them. 😁 and I'm so proud of them. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Ang you guys keep it up, nice reaction videos. --proud 52 yr old ARMY 🤟👌

Just as you said both of you ! I'm an ARMY women of 36 year old from France. Sorry for my english. I follow them since N.O song in 2013. I' m so proud of them like if they were my little brothers. This is so crazy 😅I went to see them 3 times in concert here in Paris and I'm always impressed by ARMY of every age and of all around the world. Thank you ARMY, you two as baby ARMY ;) and ours boys of course. As Jimin says : You're nice keep going 💜💜💜💜
I don't know if I had a chance, since I'm from Indonesia. It'll cost a lot of shipping.. But I'll try. BTS is a group that give me a comfort, a support, make me feel happy everyday just by watching them. Get to know them through this journey, I get to know other ARMY from different part of the world. We can connect with people who speak different with us, but when we talk about BTS, we become one. And if a miracle come true, and BTS somehow read my comment, I just wanna them to know, that what they said, MUSIC TRANSCEND LANGUAGE is really true.. And I hope that they will continue writing lyrics, making music that give comfort to all of us. And people will recognise their talent and appreciate their art.. Btw... Because it's December, 4th... Happy Birthday to Our Worldwide Handsome Kim Seokjin.. Thanks for the new song Abyss..🎉🎉🎉 Get well soon, and i hope you'll speedy recovery and meet us again, Yoongi ah.. To our leader, thanks for your hardwork, congratulation for debut at Hot 100 Songwriter, with Yoongi too.. 🎉🎉🎉 To our sunshine Hobi... Just look at your smile, make me smile... You really give us a positive vibe, to make us happy To our lovely Jimin, your cute side, but sometime a sassy side, really adorable. Especially when bickering with Suga.. 😋 I really amaze with How Kim Taehyung aka our V, with his unique mind... I learn how you can make something different from others into amazing art.. And the last, for my bias.. Jeon Jungkook, JK, our baby bunny, If it's not because of you, i'll never knew about 7 amazing people..and meet a new family (ARMY)... And your love for us, to the point you've tattoed our name in your hand, and we will always be with you forever..
What does BTS mean to me? To me, they are EVERYTHING! They are our HAPPINESS, SAFE PLACE & COMFORTER because their music inspires me and other people. At first, I'm just a supportive mother to my 2 daughters (8 years old 12 years old) who loves BTS. They were the ones who introduce them to me. Before, I am into K-Drama....but now, I'm watching BTS since then. Because of them, I started searching about them, what's their past life and what they are as a person. I really love my kids and I want to give them something that makes them happy and the BE ALBUM is one of them. It's Christmas time already and I want to give them the BE Album as a Christmas gift, especially my youngest because her birthday is December 25. 😊 Thank you Chalfant & Trale for this giveaway and thanks also for the reaction videos that you made for us, the ARMY! God bless you more and more. 🥰🥰🥰 As Jimin says....BE NICE, KEEP GOING! 💜💜💜💜💜
Firstly, just wanted to thank you guys for giving this opportunity to lots of other ARMYs, that don’t have enough budget to afford the album. It’s truly so sweet of yours. 🥺 I’m not even sure if I’m gonna be the lucky one , but anyways just wanted to tell you my story. Also, wish good luck to other ARMYs.💜 My journey with BTS started 2years ago. As a freshman in my new university, new people, new town, and untreated depression caused by high school teachers, I’ve been undergoing through a lot of bad things inside me. Even though i was an excellent student at school, my last two years of high school became my worst nightmare due to some teachers, who for no particular reason tried to pull me down, spread dirty rumors and slandered other teachers to rate me a lower grade than I deserved. I’m mot clearly sure why they treated me like this, maybe because my parents aren’t powerful and wealthy people, maybe because i said or did something wrong. Having entered the university I believed that I’ll be okay and everything would go in a right way. Despite the new environment, new friends, inside I felt empty and worthless. I plunged into reading, doing university assignments , hanging out with friends and helping my sick grandma. Eventually, i got to that point that the words of those school teachers stuck in my head so strongly,so I really began to believe that I was nothing and I could be named as nobody. I tried to cover my insecurities by being busy and ‘productive ‘, while destructive thoughts and new other problems( with relatives, friends) were killing me inside. Nonetheless, things weren’t that much bad, as exactly at that time BTS found broken and lost me. And I’m telling that THEY found me. I believe that their music reaches hurt souls, no matter where you are, who you are. They come to our lives, at that time, when we need them. Like a miracle. I was truly touched by their music. The lyrics that speak loudly as if it’s your inner voice, and melody, hugging you a thousand hundred miles away. I wouldn’t have imagined such an embracing and healing impact, just from someone’s music. At that time they were my best gift, i could wish for. Seemed like their lyrics embraced me, comforted, inspired, and most importantly protected. They were my voice, they were my secrete fairies. As time passed by, thorough them i understood that I’m enough. Even more, it’s okay not to be okay. These days thanks to them my mental health got much better, i started trying new things, learning new languages, and taking care of myself and my beloved ones. I’ve never seen them personally but I consider them as my best friends, my family, my medicine. Thanks to them i feel myself less lonelier. I know that they will always offer me help, whenever I’ll need it. They are my best luck, my best gift. And i know that I’m not the only one, they have helped millions of people around the globe , through their love, talent and kindness. Maybe that’s why ARMY are always thankful and supportive towards them, since they became a part of us, somebodies who own a special place in our hearts. To sum up, i just want to say that I’m very grateful to live at the same time with them. Thanks to them i got introduced to so many good things and people in life. And one of them are you. Watching your videos became my new favorite ritual of the week. Without too much saying, just wanted to thank you again for what you guys are doing and giving such an incredible opportunity to others. I feel myself so good after sharing my story with you. Thank you and love you.💜
BTS para mi es el mejor grupo que e visto y escuchado. No solo son chicos hermosos y talentosos sino que en sus canciones dan siempre un mensaje oportuno. Son ejemplo a seguir en esta sociedad donde la música ya no es arte sino tan sólo un negocio, ellos hacen arte de su trabajo y esa es la diferencia. Los Amo #BTS 💜
Well well bts means the world to me, I first listen to them in 2014 and since then I am an Army, they helped me with my depresion and thanks to their message I could finally get my degree so since day one as they say someone from Argentina so far away from korea can now say that I really love my self thanks to them thanks to each memeber thanks to every song and thanks to the Army that they are there for bts and for others Armys too. To sum up bts is Army Army is bts bts is everything anyone needs to heal 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷💖 good luck ti every Army and thanks to you guys for this give away!
So I am kind if a rational person... and when life started to get more difficult for me I started thinking it would be easier to just stop... I started making lists to decide whether I should or not... and when I was about to maje a reaaally stupid decision I discovered BTS... and it really helped me since there was sooo much music and content to catch up... it really was like a distraction keepilng my over-logical brain quiet... and here I am now... appreciating my non logical decisions almost as much as the non logical ones.... through seeing them just like living life i learnd to just let life happen sometimes... like RM teached me: everything goes... Suga teached me that I don't need a dream... and this is whats taking me throughout the days... I learned that sometimes the work and effort I put in something will be worth more than the actual result... So yeah they mean a lot to me... I wouldn't be here... where I am... as i am without them And i really want to apologize for my english
BTS are my world, my universe. They mean everything for me! They helped me in my darkest times and they're still there for me, unlike other people they will never leave me. I really love them, their music, their message, their performances, just everything. They are my world and my hope. They teached me how to love myself, I'm still learning and trying to really love everything about myself but it's working and I'm so thankfull for that. Sorry if my english isn't that good, it isn't my first language and I'm pretty bad haha. But I hope you understand what I tried to say, I purple you💜
I’m glad i chose this video to begin my lousy day. I actually got cheered up when you thought you broke the book. ( Everthing you do doubles up cos i remind myself that you are a Principle.) Students are lucky to have a charming Principal like you. (I’d be happy to go to school.)
I'm being a part of army since 2015.. simply by when i heard i need you.. More i dig information from them, more i loved them.. They started with humble and still humble till now.. Bts also encouraged me when i lost my daughter from car accident.. I cried but also healed.. All the songs so relatable with our daily things and had deep meaning also became my favourites easily.. But, everything goes from RM's playlist "mono" was my favourite.. That song teach me to let everything goes.. Something that happened, let them happened.. You guys better to dig them soon, the more you dig, the more you can amaze by them.. Borahae :)
O.o an Army since 2015? Wow, I'm sorry for your loss I cannot imagine what you must have felt, I'm sure it's stories like yours that make BTS so passionate about music. Borahae! 💜
Hi guys! I'm not join but I want to say what does BTS mean to me.I came across BTS music by accident 4 years ago and I didn't even know what kpop is and thank to them I discovered my passion for the Korean language and now I've studying it for 3 years.I never thought that I would be able to speak Korean🤷🏼♀️ of course I still like their music and it's amazing that now I can understand every lyrics easily
what bta means to you? me: They is my life and my everything..they teach me how to love myself..they told me to be happy everyday..and dont give up to chase my dream..they make me laugh when I have problem or sad...They love us so much..that make me fell..i really important...I always compare myself with other...and I fell like my life is worst..but they teach me to apreciate my life...They really change me..they make me believe myself..
hahahahahaha it's meant to break like that for mini posters XD your reaction made me giggle lol ty I wont be entering your comp as i already have a copy and i'd love to see someone who doesn't own it get it. They mean Peace to me, there's always a song for any mood i am having. I've been ARMY since HYYH p1 so the beginning of 2015, at the time it was really hard for me to get any info on them as i live in Australia and they were basically unknown here, but yeah they are always there for me musically and their content is always super involved. They just GIVE, like i haven't seen anyone in the music industry, Anywhere, give as much as they do. Everything and anything they do is for us, like i can't give back enough to repay them for what they give me daily. Thank you again for this i really hope someone who doesn't have this album yet wins also thank you to your secret santa who provided the albums
I'm loving the comment section here seeing all these beautiful stories about how bts came into their lives when they needed the most and changed their lives for the better! Bts really are our biggest source of strength and comfort for us! Good luck to everyone participating! Hope you all get a chance to own their albums someday! 💜
BTS is my comfort and happiness. I met them when I needed someone, that time when I'm having a suicide thoughts. I grow because of them. I met them when I was 13 years old and that time they totally change my life, btw I'm already 15yrs old🥺. They open my eyes to the world. They make my dreams awake again. Their are so special to my heart day by day my love for my them is getting more deeper🥺💜 Sorry for my bad/error English:(
What does BTS mean to me? Magic. Do you remember in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, how their music brought peace to the world, enabled contact with alien races, caused the planets to align, and brought about a utopian society? That's how I see BTS. 😊

*"What does BTS means to me?"* To put it simply they are the savior. Literally and metaphorically Literally, three years ago i was still in high school. I was waiting my friend in the park, sat on the bench alone as we want to hang out(you know girl's time) so there was one suspicius guy suddenly sat down next to me and talk to me, basically this man was flriting to me(me being still underage at that moment). I was so scared (me being quite and introvert kid) asking and hoping anyone would save me and stop this freak man. Then i remember i have phone try to call my friend. Then he Saw my wallpaper was namjoon selfie(boyfriend look material kinda selfie) then he got mad and said " well if you have boyfriend why don't you said before, waste my time" then he left. I was so shock to reply because first that man was grown adult fricking dude, second he flirt with me who basically still 16 who looks even younger than my real age. I was so relieved and then cried when my friend came and i told them what happened. I was saved by namjoon Metaphorically, when i was in my down whether i was in depression or sadness i run to them. I listen to their music, watching their variety show, laughing to their funny crackhead moments. And i realise they are also human who has down time, Suga has depression, Jimin has anxiety and selt-doubt, even namjoon can be nervous when he gave speak . Then i relaise how 'human' they are. How genuine and humble yet so powerfull and charistmatic. I wanna be this strong person with down to earth personality. I wanna be like them, not in the sense of music but in sense how they living this life. So then they become my role model So whenever i was in down situation, in my depression, sadness. I remember even BTS can handle their why you don't. "Namjoon didn't speak in front of thousand people about love yourself so you can be weak b*tch" (insert slap myslef) "Suga can speak about his depression in his mixtapes means he ready to beat his dark side so why don't you open your mouth to the therapist" "Jimin that man perfect as frick can still doubt about his talent, his voice. But he is surrounded by people who care and support him. So begin to open your heart to others" So yeah for anyone that think BTS just typical music boyband. No, they are more than that they are my role model and others many role model too. Because i am sure i wasn't the only one saved by BTS. Because i am sure there are many others young people who got help from BTS just like me. Therefore i was so thankfull for them to be my savior just by being themselves living the life.
Hi! Firstly, I would like to thank you for holding this giveaway, I really appreciate that your channel is sharing the love and joy during this Christmas season! I found BTS when I was at one of my lowest points in life. Dejected, upset - you name it. Upon listening to their songs, I found so much meaning in them and took comfort in their lyrics. I really related to it and felt that I wasn't alone, and I felt truly connected with them through these songs. I came across a quote before saying that we found bts when we needed them in our lives the most - this was so true. The timing couldn't be more perfect as they literally brought so much joy into my life. Stanning them has been my best decision so far. Seeing them work so hard for their dreams and coming so far over the years reminds me that I need to continue working hard, and it motivates me to work even harder to achieve what I want to. I am so thankful that I found them, and they make me so happy every single day. Watching their videos gives me so much comfort, and they just brighten my day so much!
the meaning of bts to me is that they are the ones people should emulate because they are determined to fulfill their dreams and so they are now famous because they are struggling to achieve their dreams and love your neighbor and yourself trust yourself do not be afraid of the trials that go by so did the bts so they are there all the trials they went through so that they can reach their dream and lastly they are also the ones who inspire me and so I study good for my Family and the bts I hopefully to win I'm from Philippines
We already discussed the pull out part of the photo book in Discord but I still burst out laughing while watching you guys. 😂😂😂 Ps. I love your shirts today! Pps. I'm not entering but for me, Bangtan saved my life. I was going through a midlife crisis when I found them and they really saved me with Answer Love Myself and Epiphany. I actually know about Taehyung since 2016 but was just a casual fan. Now I'm really a diehard fan. Ppps. Followed you on Twitter with both my accounts lol. Pppps. My son's favourite is Rubble too!!
Before I found them I was a disabled 60 yo that was bored and just waiting to die. BTS to me are equal to a defibrillator. They jump started my heart. My oldest daughter and granddaughter are also army. Thats where my interest was pecked. Honestly, I was only trying to learn who was who to surprise my granddaughter but I slipped and fell into the BTS rabbit hole. We have become very close though. No, We were alway close but that closeness has changed somehow. Most of my friends have passed. BTS have brought me a whole new group of friends. BTS have not only given me music but have given me books and Art as well they have inspired me to think. They opened my eyes to thing I’ve never thought about. They made me want to give back. I don’t have money to donate I have a fixed income but I have a BTS inspired heart so I volunteered to work at a food pantry. There are so many people out of work and needing help. I call five single people a day, that are shut ins, just to talk. People are lonely in this pandemic. Guess who always comes up in our conversations? If you thought BTS you would be right. 💜 they gave me back a life one that I want to live in.
BTS is one of my biggest motivation in life, my inspirations for my drawings, and pretty much half of my life. Their songs are what makes me happy and motivate me to get up from what’s been pushing me down, their stage performances are what make me keep saying “I’m gonna be successful like them, I’m gonna be cool like them”, their posts on Twitter are the one to make me “What is this? Why is Jimin keep posting stuffs?” and end up smiling and clutching my heart in awe looking at their photos, even looking at their faces makes me damn happy. For me BTS is like my everything💜💜
Before I wasn’t into kpop and one time i saw BTS on my recommended list in youtube. Ive only heard of them from a friend of mine and she kept talking about them and how they somehow saved her because of their music. So i gave it a try and watched the mv of save me (ik its pretty ironic but that really came up in my recommended videos). After watching the mv, i really liked it and now i know why my friend is really into this bg. At the time i used to be in a very dark place and seeing the lyrics of the song, i can somehow relate myself to it and somehow i felt saved by them as well. So in that sense, BTS for me is like a light in most people who are lost in the darkness and with nowhere to go. After that, BTS earned themselves a fan and although im not a hardcore fan, i really appreciate every music they put out and i always give it a listen.
What bts means to me: I found bts during the eeriest and at the most suicidal time of my life which was around late 2018 . everyone thinks people stan them because they're pretty but that's just not it. Bts literally always incorporate positivity in their music and actions and it's honestly helped me be mentally stable throughout all my suicidal thoughts. I feel valued and I don't feel alone anymore. Even if they don't know me personally they're home, they're the comfort that I found when I was very close to killing myself. And till today, they help me deal with everything uncertain. Suga talking about his mental health encouraged me to somewhat show severe signs of my mental illness to my family and this has caused them to understand my pain and help me deal with it! I adore them with all my heart for everything that they've done for me. I'll be turning 19 next year because of them, because I didn't know if I was going to make it till 19 two years back. That's all I can muster up at the moment, I don't know if it's enough for you guys to pick me but I hope it is. Thank you 💜
Well BTS are my inspiration and also my saviour. They helped me as a great friend who continued to uplift me through their songs. Their work continues to amuse me , inspire me and makes me want to be a better person. Their music helped me through some tough times and still doing and that is why i love them and admire them so much. They are not only some great musicians but also such great human beings . Nowadays its so hard to find people who can comfort you with just their music and not only that them being themselves also comforts you . Everything about them is so wholesome and so approachable. I think that they came as brothers in my life I never had. I am so thankful that the world has BTS today. p.s - i love the way in your videos you both breakdown everything and appreciate them .Thank you for working hard for us viewers.
What does BTS mean to me? Everything. And when i say this people look at me like i'm just a fangirl fangirling over a boyband. But I mean it. BTS tought me how to love myself, they inspired me to be a better version of myself. Before i found out about them, i was a cold person. I didn't like people, being the center of attention, I was alone all the fricking time. And i wasn't alone because i wanted to. I was alone because i was scared, I was scared of people. I didn't love myself or anybody else. But BTS made me realise that the most important thing in my life is me. I started talking to people, I made friends, I started loving myself and that is all because of them. The 7 guys from Korea made me a better person. And although i never met them i consider them my best friends, my EVERYTHING. Laura, from Slovenia
Thank you for your support to BTS and love watching your journey of becoming an army. What BTS means to me: BTS are not just a normal kpop group, they are the real source of motivation and happiness in my life. I know when I was literally struggling alot with my life, they came as a source of happiness for me and showed me the path of being a better person everyday. BTS found me in the time of my life when I needed them the most. Thank you and just love your channel 💜
What BTS means to me: I don't know what they are to me exactly, all I know is that when I needed something to tether me to the world, to ground me they were there. Even before I actually got to know them, their music touched me and helped me. They're like the branch that protruded out of the side of a cliff, there for me to cling onto when I was falling : )
Fun fact: I believe V was in charge of the visual aspect of the album. So those photocards with each individual in their rooms were V's idea...I think!

What BTS means to me? Nobody has ever asked me this question before and neither have I really given it a thought. I reflected upon this and to be really honest it took me three days to get all my thoughts and feelings together to pen this down. Just bear with me it may be quite long but trust me this is the first time I am confessing this. I won’t say things like “BTS is my everything” because in the realest sense they are not. I want to be as realistic and genuine as I possibly can be while explaining what BTS means to me in my life. They played a subtle yet important role in shaping me as a person that I am today. Since 2015 BTS has been a constant in my life. Although their role, significance and impact in my life kept on varying. I have never meet a single person who appreciates or even understands my love and admiration for BTS and thus I never got a chance to talk about this. I am gratefull for this opportunity. BTS has given out countless meaningful messages. But rather than listing out that endless list I just want to talk about the specific things that I have learned from each member that has really impacted me and guided me in my life. ◻ For me Jin represents confidence and self-love I really struggled with keeping up with my other follow students (preparing for the same entrance exam of the university). I would get frustrated and angry that why others don’t have to strive as hard as I do? If I am working just as hard as others why am I not scoring as good? When friends, family and teachers brushed my questions off by saying it’s just that I am trying hard enough, it was Jin who motivated and guided me. I learned from him that EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN PACE. It’s not that I am not trying hard enough but sometimes to reach the same goal different people needs to put different level of efforts. It may be easier for others than it is for me and I need to accept that, take my time and strive harder to achieve that goal. I happy to announce that I got the admission in the university that I always wanted to attend. ◻ For me Suga represents strength and sacrifice. Few years down the line I really struggled with deciding what I wanted to do in my career. I was surrounded with an echo of countless opinions of others, of what would be best for me in my future, that I drowned my own voice. Suga taught me to just sit back and relax. ITS OKAY TO NOT HAVE A DREAM. I’ll eventually figure it out with time, which I did! And I am really grateful to myself that I took my time :) ◻ For me Jhope represents hope and happiness. The most valuable thing that I have learned from Jhope is that MY HAPPINESS IS MY CHOICE. Everyone struggles and have fears. I have the choice to see the bright side of the things and make my life easier. This mantra really keeps me floating from day to day. ◻ For me RM represents vision and control From RM I have learned that RESPECT is as important (if not more) as LOVE. I have learned to accept that there are and there will always be people in life with whom I share mutual love but not mutual respect. I refuse to dwell in a love which shows me no respect. ◻ For me Jimin represents support and affection Jimin has taught me that just simply LISTENING and being there for the people goes a long way. I can’t stress this enough that how this lesson has saved the sinking relationship with my elder sister. ◻ For me V represents beauty and uniqueness I have learned from V to be comfortable in my skin. I have learned that it’s normal to change as you grow up. Not all people will like this new change. You’ll lose a lot of friends growing up and make new ones along the way. I have learned to be unapologetic about my likes and dislikes. This has been really life changing. Saved me the trouble from swatting away the fake ones.💅🏻 ◻ Jungkook: For me Jungkook represents passion and dedication Jk has shown me how a life without PASSION is a waste. Earlier I had no clarity as to what I wanted to do with my life, had no dream. But now with time I have realised what I want to do and what I want to become. This sense of clarity truly drives my passion to work endlessly to achieve my goal. I fell you now Jk Passion truly drives the life🔥 I share the same age as Jungkook. Feels like I have grown with them side by side. Feels like I have lived through so many experiences through their eyes. They have made me more mature, sensitive, sensible and accepting. They have normalised the idea of a blue day for me. I have a good family, I have supportive friends, I have got admission into a good college, I don’t have any dark past STILL I can have a bad day. I am not being overdramatic or attention seeking. I can be blue. They have helped me break out of the toxic positivity bubble that was showed upon me since I was a child. You ask WHAT BTS MEANS TO ME IN MY LIFE? They feel like an OLD FRIEND. A friend that I look up to. A friend that has guided me and has taught me some invaluable lessons in my life. A friend that I love and support. A friend that loves and supports me. A friend who has rocked me through my hard times. A friend who has celebrated with me. (I have always managed to find just the right song to suit my mood:) They just have always been there. They had and still have a strong influence in shaping my personality, which certainly can’t be said for most of the people in life. The collective identity that I share with millions of people as ARMY always felt personal. But as I said earlier not a single person in my life appreciates or even understands this. What a shame people just refuse to see beyond the surface. Putting these feeling into words had been tough yet wonderful. My chest feels light. Thank you for this opportunity💜 I really apologize for this long essay😂 and I appreciate the ones who read it till the end🙌🏻.
What BTS means to me: They are my therapy, They are my rest, They are my sun because they make my dark days shine. At first i feel lost like im in a world full of strangers. I have no one to trust. and they came to my life to bring me back to the light, it was cloudy before but now it's so clear, and they took away my fears, negative thoughts, anxiety, depression. When i dont have BTS in my life, i always wake up with negative thoughts, like i wish i did not wake up but when they came into my life I wake up everyday with a bright smile upon my face. No more tears, no more pain because they teach me to love myself, they teach me to use them to love myself. They help me understand that loving yourself is the best thing to do in this world full of hatred. They taught me by sharing their life, their hearts, their minds, their musics. They gave me strength when I wasn't strong. They gave me hope when all my hope is lost. They opened my eyes when I couldn't see. So what BTS means to me: They are the moon that glows in my heart. They are my daytime my nighttime, my world, in short they are my life.
BTS means a lot to me, they are my safe space where I can find comfort, support, understanding without judgement and friendship. They introduced me to an awesome community and family called ARMY, where you can find diverse people who have many things in common, and the meain is love for BTS and each another. Thanks to being an ARMY I've made awesome friends on internet and real life. BTS taught me to be myself without fear or shame, to go at my own pace in life, to accept myself with my strengths and weaknesses, basically to love myself, and to do so with others as well. I wish them all the happiness in the world, whatever it is to them, and that they are always healthy. And I wish the same for all the ARMYs out there as well. Thank you all for being awesome! I purple you 💜 Thank you guys for the content 😁
So, what bts means to me? First, I got over the preconception I had on kpop (for many years I would refuse myself to give it a chance because I would say that I wouldn't be able to understand or to enjoy it), it made me realize how stupid that thought is and that even though I try to be open to everything, I still had some things within myself I needed to change (and thank god I did) Second, through their music I was able to relate to them in many levels. I understood that everybody goes through difficulties and that we are never really alone. That there's no shame in being scared or sad.. They give me comfort, happiness, sadness (in a good way). And now after 12 months into them, I can definitely say that I love myself, that I'm worth it, and their music and their speechs helped me understand that. Then, with Armys, I saw some of the most amazing things. Not only the love for the boys, but the exceptional things we are able to accomplish when we come together as a community. They inspire us to help others, even that sometimes we are not able to do much, doing whatever we can is enough. Sometimes we just need a small act of kindness in our lives. They make me laugh like hell when I'm sad, they make me sing and dance, they give me strength to fight when I feel at the bottom, and most importantly, they make me wanna be myself. They do so much, for so many people. They literally change people's lives, I know cause they changed mine 💜 By the way, I really love your videos! Your reactions are so genuine and you sometimes look just like proud parents hahaha Sending all my love from Brazil 💜 and good luck to everyone. Fighting! 😊
What BTS means to me... Wow I think that are a lot of people like me yeah. They mean everything to me they are more than just a group they are literally the only ones who I was able to relate they are the ones who help have a reason to live because I used to have anxiety and I suffered depression in elementary school because I was bullied by the kids at school and I didn't say anything to my parents so they still doesn't know so just stayed alone in my own world and my first kpop song was mblaq this war and I got into kpop then I heard about them and how people treated them and I was like "I'm going to stay by their side I'm going to love them" and after everything I got better and started to love myself. So people love yourself it doesn't matter how you are ni who you are just love yourself and don't give up! I purple you
What Bts means to me? Bts are my role models there someone I can always look up to and motivate me. They have taught me many things that no one has ever talked to me about like loving myself. They inspire me to do better everyday and make me happy. Watching their videos brings so much joy to me and help me feel better if I’m feeling down. They have been an incredible discovery that I’m very blessed to have. I love them so much and will always support them 😁💜.
WHAT DOES BTS MEAN TO YOU? Well they say that BTS comes into your life at the right time..Its never to late or early when it comes to BTS... It's so incredible how listening to 7 boys or should I say angel's songs and even their existence have literally changed my life.. Me too was very shy and often felt awkwardness in life.. But what changed me is bangtan... As I'm a graduate student, whenever it's time to give presentations or present anything, I watch the bts interviews. The way they talk it gives me hell of a confidence, they became my strength to believe in myself and accept myself for who I am and this made me confident... They are the one that makes me laugh when I cry, comfort me when I'm low... And also I want to thank you for your reaction videos... Watching your videos really makes me proud and happy of my boys and how bts is not only changes mine but everyone's life.. I just want you to know that bangtan and ami are always there with you and for you... My friends often ask me that how long are you gonna be army? What if the days comes when there's no bts? There's one thing II know that I am and forever will be army.. As we say.. One you JIMin, you can't JIMout😂... Even if the day comes when they decide to retire... I'm still gonna keep watching run bts, bon vogage n listen to the songs and be thankful that they were always there with me through this journey... Bts borahae... We PURPLE you💜
What BTS mean to me? Well, BTS literally save my life trought their songs. I love them so much, I think can't really explain what they mean. They're everything, whenever i am sad, stress, or with a lot of things going on they just mean confort. They are my happiness♥ They came into my life in 2018 and sometimes I wish I had met them sooner, but I know they came at the right time and when I needed them most. I will always be grateful to them for the messages and teachings they give us through their music and as people. I learn to love myself thanks to them♥
What BTS means to me? In short, they feel like home to me. They make me feel relaxed and calm... I've had liked other groups in the past but there aren't any groups that have made me feel the same way.

Hey there, I’m guessing you will get a lot of insights and evidence of BTS’ impact from your little community building contest. Just a side note to Chalfant. There is a Research Community around BTS, with academics collecting data and writing papers on all sorts of dimensions (e.g. their sociological impact, the culture of ARMY). There’s a Conference in California next year, and I saw a call for papers (deadline soon). Just search Research BTS on Twitter. You will find a cluster of scholars there, including ethnomusicians. Also, there is a peer-reviewed Journal entirely devoted to the study of BTS & ARMY: The Rhizomatic Revolution Review, or R3 Journal. Check out the first issue which was published a couple of months ago. Interesting reads. You may contribute your data to a growing repository on BTS and their significance as a phenomenon.
*"What does BTS means to me?"*
To put it simply they are the savior. Literally and metaphorically
Literally, three years ago i was still in high school. I was waiting my friend in the park, sat on the bench alone as we want to hang out(you know girl's time) so there was one suspicius guy suddenly sat down next to me and talk to me, basically this man was flriting to me(me being still underage at that moment). I was so scared (me being quite and introvert kid) asking and hoping anyone would save me and stop this freak man. Then i remember i have phone try to call my friend. Then he Saw my wallpaper was namjoon selfie(boyfriend look material kinda selfie) then he got mad and said " well if you have boyfriend why don't you said before, waste my time" then he left. I was so shock to reply because first that man was grown adult fricking dude, second he flirt with me who basically still 16 who looks even younger than my real age. I was so relieved and then cried when my friend came and i told them what happened. I was saved by namjoon
Metaphorically, when i was in my down whether i was in depression or sadness i run to them. I listen to their music, watching their variety show, laughing to their funny crackhead moments. And i realise they are also human who has down time, Suga has depression, Jimin has anxiety and selt-doubt, even namjoon can be nervous when he gave speak . Then i relaise how 'human' they are. How genuine and humble yet so powerfull and charistmatic. I wanna be this strong person with down to earth personality. I wanna be like them, not in the sense of music (cause i am not musical genius lol) but in sense how they living this life. So then they become my role model
So whenever i was in down situation, in my depression, sadness. I remember even BTS can handle their why you don't;
"Namjoon didn't speak in front of thousand people about love yourself so you can be weak b*tch" (insert slap myself)
"Even Suga can speak about his depression and down Times in his mixtapes means he ready to beat his dark side so why don't you start to open your mouth to the therapist"
"Jimin that man perfect as frick can still doubt about his talent, about his voice. but he surrounded by people who understand him, so begin to open your heart to others"
So yeah for anyone that think BTS just typical music boyband. No, they are more than that they are my role model and others many role model too. Because i am sure i wasn't the only one saved by BTS. Because i am sure there are many others young people who got help from BTS just like me. Therefore i was so thankfull for them to be my savior just by being themselves living the life.
@@IAR97 I was not emotional, when I read this but your answer made me sob aloud and now I'm full on crying.
They have saved with their music thousands of people.
I'm not one of them, but I have seen people time and time again say that they stopped their self harming and more because of BTS!
Your story is on an equal level with them - it is not a thing that can be compared. It is self-learning, and learning to appreciate yourself enough to love yourself to fight for yourself. And all of that is what you are doing !
i apologize for typos, but i really can't properly see my screen from these tears. I love You for a long time, Army sister! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
@@Pikaxsu thank you army sister💜, the fact you care for stranger like me make you are wonderful person. I am lucky to be part of army that feels like family 💜💜💜
Your unboxing video is the most interesting and funny I have seen till now. I laughed a lot 😂😂 and enjoyed it. Also no u did not break it 😂😂😂
Its not broken its made loose so that fans can use it as mini posters. As most ARMY use it like that for display
Last time many ARMY wanted the album pics to be like that. When the Map of the soul: 7 was released.
Noooo don't glue it 😂 It is a separate book! And each photo from that book is actually a mini poster, that's why there are no pictures on the background, they were made to be detached
It’s not broken! That section is made to be detachable pages. 🤣🤣🤣
Hence why the pages are one sided in that section. 😏
The whys and hows of Korean merch take getting used to. BigHit likes to throw us curve balls still. 😅
What Does BTS Mean To Me?
Simple put BTS means home to me. somewhere I can go to feel the most comfortable. I found bts in 2014 and was a casual listener. but in 2017 I was going through the hardest moment in my life at the time and BTS showed up and literally saved my life. Now because of bts I am married and have 2 kids and im a college student, double major. and im learning korean, my third language. Anything that has to do with bts in where i feel safe and at home, theres no bullying or judgement. Whether thats a youtube vids, or talking to other army. Bts is also my home because they gave me 7 best friends, plus 1 army bestest friend. A few months ago I actually drove 16 hours to meet my army friend in person, I attended her wedding! BTS means a safe home, happiness, and friends for life.
Now I use what bts taught me to help other people
What BTS Means to Me
BTS is comfort and a smile when I am having a bad day. BTS is slowly making me want to love myself. I have not seriously started to yet but when I am having a bad day and hating myself, BTS is always at the back of my mind telling me that I should try. For being across the world and having a drastically different lifestyle than me and despite being the biggest music group in the world, BTS are the most relatable people out there. I especially love Suga's (Agust D's) mixtapes and can relate to some of his personal struggles. I felt trapped in my own little world until I discovered BTS this year and now that I am caring about people across the world, I am more interested in the people around me and can care more about them.
What does BTS mean to you: I heard BTS when I was in a ... I won’t call it a dark place, but a fog. There was no meaning that I could find in my life, everything seemed pointless, and there was no connection from day to day; every minute was a repeat of the previous one. When I started listening to BTS, the lyrics and the moods in the songs - especially SUGA’s - spoke to me in a way I’d never quite experienced before. Here, in their words, was the exact feeling I could never put words to. That understanding, that commiseration, just knowing that it wasn’t something broken in me, that someone else had felt this, was a lifeline. BTS didn’t cure me, or give me strength: they gave me the determination to find the strength in myself to find a way out. That’s what BTS means to me.
What BTS means to me:
BTS is what I needed in my life. BTS teaches it's listeners all the things we needed to know that no one else taught us; Love yourself (all parts, even the parts you dislike or want to forget), it's okay to not have a dream, and it's okay to dream big (don't let others tell you otherwise), follow your own path in life, if you're willing to put the time and effort into something you can achieve anything, there will always be haters but you can rise above them, and that you should surround yourself with people who will help you on your journey, not those that will pull you down.
BTS saved me from my darkest time, just as many ARMY say; "You find BTS when you need to".
Thank you for always having an open mind and reacting honestly to these fantastic guys. Good luck to all participants! Borahae!!!!!
BTS, for me, is not only a group consisting of seven members but a community of million people who are going through tough times in life. The community that BTS and ARMY have established is constantly helping each person to get through tough times, because they consider you as a family member that you can run home to and cry on to whenever you need them.
When BTS first started making music in 2012 and debuted in 2013, they've gone through things tougher than any other groups. People tried to cut their wings for them not to fly. I felt that when I was on the tenth grade. I was a consistent Top 1 of our batch in my High School but people always come at me and saying harsh words like "you can't be this/that so stop trying so hard." I was also smart-shamed by my classmates and peers but just like BTS, I persevered more to prove them that I deserve to fly. I finished tenth grade by being the Top 1 in our batch and achieved High Honors. To tell you frankly, I didn't fullu do it just to prove muself but because I needed to repay the hardwork of my parents, since I came from a poor family of which I am proud of.
It wasn't easy at first but BTS played a major role in my life during the past years. BTS means a companion that will walk with you and will help you to get up whenever you stumble.
Few hours ago, Jin released a statement saying how he came up with the song 'Abyss' and I'm crying because he had a burnout. I'm still young but I know how hard it is to feel that you're tired and unworthy of all the things you received. It is the hardest point in life because the conflict is within yourself. BTS don't really say how to go through things but they'll tell you what they did and how they went through it. They will hold the light for you to see clearly your path to avoid you from getting hurt.
The same feelings also can be felt on the songs 'Epiphany' and 'Awake' and '00:00'. These songs are so meaningful to me because it speaks things I couldn't utter myself. It has become my daily playlist that will calm my unwarranted thought to came rushing unto my consciousness.
In conclusion, BTS is not a group but a part of our life, for they have and still is playing a major part in our identity and how we perceive life.
You didn't break it. Now you can use them as pics in the CD holder thing or as mini posters.
The writing is their work notes.
What BTS means to me- I found BTS through Suga. The Agust D Daechwita video was fire so I checked out his song, The Last. The raw honesty, emotional tone and cadence, and content hit me so hard that I googled him. Through that, I found BTS. The honesty, message, and music sucked me in. Their music has become something that I can fall into when I need a break from my own brain. Music has always been a huge escape, and I tend to lean towards bands with real messages and honest lyrics. BTS has that in spades. So, bottom line? They give me a safe space to escape to, a space where others have felt the same way, where people genuinely want to lift you up, and where it's okay to not be okay.
(And putting in a request for you two to watch BTS's MV for NO-a track from an early album-because it talks about the rigid education system in Korea. I'd love to see what you two think about the lyrics....and the MV is great.)
The detachable pages are too big for the frame unless you cut them down. FYI
I considered it but couldn't bring myself to cut! Hehe 😊
What bts means to me: the main reason why I am a happy person as I am today. When I see their hard work I realized that to achieve my dream, even if its difficult, I should put all of my efforts to do it and dont listen to the criticism of the others. Besides that, now I choose to love myself every single day. They didnt taught me to love myself, but they remind me every day how I am a gem✨. Bc of them I’ve never been happier and even when I am sad they make me feel better. Only armys can relate the power that they can do to someone💜
WOW I've only been an ARMY for little over a year now, but BTS came into my life at the PERFECT moment, it's almost scary! A few months after I was introduced to BTS, they started releasing singles from MOTS:7 and I love them! Shadow, Ego, Black Swan Orchestral version and ON kinetic manifesto all hit different than ANY other BTS songs because I was hospitalized for a week when they came out. I was in the hospital during JHope's birthday and I listened to Ego especially and these songs mostly. They really helped me get through hard times and I purple them for that! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
What does BTS mean to me ? A healer, a friend and a medicine.
It was 3 years ago, I was diagnosed depression because of school works, pressures and tons of problems. I was not able to talk to anyone, I locked myself and always crying in my room for the whole month. I never thought that I do experienced such thing since I myself is a fighter, I didn't know how to deal with it except for shutting down myself from everyone. But I was healed by a kpop group BTS, no sugarcoating but hella yes they were my medicine together with my friends and parents. It happened when I accidentally discovered them through RUclips recommendation during the day I was in my room. Their songs comforts me, I was doubting myself but because of them I started to love myself, invest in myself more and spread my wings and fly. If we start to fully understands their songs you will know what I mean. Through their music you can feel the warmth of love, you are not walking along and how they always tells us that life goes on, run and dream .
What Does BTS Mean to Me?
For me, BTS’s journey is one of leadership. The reason they shine so brightly in this world is that it has become so dark.
They have a rare ability and (soft) power to connect people, regardless of time and place. Their art, music, and message stand for ideals that counter the unhealthy versions of competition, fame, and wealth that are overly-valued by unbalanced individuals and societies. For me, they are living proof that people can, and should, find their own way to create a life of personal meaning and purpose, despite the possibility of years of obstacles and barriers. Through example, BTS inspires me to become a more hopeful, courageous, resourceful, committed, patient, playful, energetic, vulnerable, ethical, and more loving version of myself.
What BTS means to me?
I had a bit of hard time during quarantine and then sometime in March randomly stumbled upon them on youtube, saw the colorful MVs they had and chose to give them a chance. I had no idea about the world I was getting myself into. Saw the videos the positivity they were spreading, the choreographies, awesome songs and live stages they had and I was constantly amazed by them with every new video I saw. I was finding myself spending hours a day watching their content I was hooked. Then sometime later I found their B-sides and the inspiring lyrics they had. Now whenever I need motivation for anything in life I turn to BTS and I can honestly say my life will never be the same again. They mean everything to me!
Also I love your reactions just keep going.
What BTS means to me -- falling for BTS the Best decision of my life. Just surfing RUclips in my high school study hall when I came across Blood Sweat and Tears.
I fell into the black hole immediately. A goner from the second I met them. I still remember the sleepless nights following, up binge watching bombs and cracks and doing anything and everything to memerize their names and positions.
And now They are my everything, they mean so much yo me that they are part of my life and I hope forever. I love them so much!!
I always check up on their news and music. I guess thinking about them makes me happier.
Hand the seven pieces of my heart to each of you just as I did then.
Their music grabbed ahold of me and comforted me through many struggles.
Their laughter and personalities captured my attention and brightened my days.I have laughed with them . Cried with them Smiled with themScreamed with them Soared with them
Sang with them
Celebrated with them Grew with them No amount of words could ever possibly come close to the feelings of love and care I have for them in my heart. They truly do hold seven pieces of my heart that I'm never getting back. I actually had tears in my eyes while writing this as it made me realize how much they have changed me for the better. A big portion of who I am today results from bangtan's postive influence in my life. I hope maybe if you did read all of this that it could help you know my story as an ARMY💜 more and why I am proud to be apart of the fandom that represents our boys. It certainly helped me discover apart of myself as an ARMY that I hadn't before.

BTS MEANS TO ME... something So Special because my shy, introverted teenage daughter started telling me about them and I also fell in love with them! BTS was a source for my Mom-Daughter relationship to bloom through mutual enjoyment! This led to deep meaningful discussions formed from their Unique Cross Cultural , Boundry Breaking Topics! I saw her mature in thought and freedom! We both learned to Love Ourselves a Lot more than we did Before BTS entered our lives !!! ! !!!
StayGold Brothers💟
I started learning about Kpop in early 2011...at the age of 30...just broke up with the dad of kids... it opened an healing world to me...I understood english (I'm french) but it helped me improve myself...then end of 2016...I dug into BTS, never came out...
I have agoraphobia...I went to see BTS in a full packed stadium for 2 days in 2019: that's what BTS means to me. They helped me to overcome this stupid fear. Still do until now
WHAT BTS MEANS TO ME:
BTS is my everyday happiness...my day won't end without seeing them or listening to their music or hearing their laugh. they makes me smile everyday. I found BTS when I was trying to found myself again like I had a very hard time few years ago and I found them on yt and its fate that I listen to idol where they singing about "you can't stop me loving myself" and their is no coming back. as I'm introvert myself I can't comprehend my feelings well to others. their song comfort me everyday and I'm growing with them. them make me realise to love myself and love other more...be patient more about things and to others. I'm not good with my words and english not my first language and sorry if my answer is haphazard.
and thank you for doing the GA.
ps. you can listen to idol
What BTS means to me is strength. I started liking kpop in 2012. It was totally different from the things that play here in my country or the sounds I liked.
But then I saw with my bestfriend boy in luv and I just knew these guys were good, so by 2015 I became fully ARMY.
BTS is a group that shows their passion, talent and their skills!! They worked hard for their place and they still do!!. They help me go through all the sad things that were going on around me in my time at school. They also help my best friend. The two of us could just sit there listening to those beautiful songs, help each other through everything. For years, BTS been saying how you have to start loving yourself first to ease your life, but up until now, I'm still battling my depression and all my fucking issues, and every day I keep going and doing my things with BTS in the background. Even if I still struggle with my worth, I know I'm strong enough and that one day I will be the person I dream to be.
I've never had the opportunity to buy an album to show my support to the guys, so I try many other ways. I'm in my last year of university, and I can't afford to spend my money in anything other that isn't my projects or expenses. This would be a fun opportunity to not only me, but for the others that can't afford merch or albums.
I wish luck to everyone and also wish for all of you to continue being strong in your lives.
💜
The interesting side of them for me as an old woman...
Their fight for their life to be now
Their lyrics for the Army who 💜 them
Their lyrics to haters not only to diss but build up the haters to be love yourself and notice to manage their anger to be something good as them, create anger to be song or any positive creation that will make hater will proud someday to themself ...
Most of all.... How they can make kids under 17 read book of Omela and psychologic Carl Jung and the Greek mythology?????....
And last but not least... You ask Army mom or dad who amazed to their kids suddenly can speak Korean, even writing with hangeul in their diary to make parents cannot read?!?!?!!!!,.... ❤️❤️❤️❤️
As my daughters did.....💜💜💜💜💜💜
Light of my life,
fire of my loins.
My sin,
my soul,
BTS is one of my biggest motivation in life, my inspirations for my drawings, and pretty much half of my life (I guess I’m being the basic fan now). Their songs are what makes me happy and motivate me to get up from what’s been pushing me down, their stage performances are what make me keep saying “I’m gonna be successful like them, I’m gonna be cool like them”, their posts on Twitter are the one to make me “What is this? Why is Jimin keep posting stuffs?” and end up smiling and clutching my heart in awe looking at their photos, even looking at their faces makes me damn happy I’m like “I don’t know why I’m calling these grown ass men who’s years older than me cute”, c’mon they’re even prettier than most of us (the sad truth).
Sometimes I get bored listening to their songs on repeat, keep finding their pictures online through my timeline, so I choose to shut myself from social media and listen to my other non-BTS playlist. Then out of the blue, I suddenly just “Why does it feels weird not seeing BTS on my phone?” and so I get back onto their music. It’s just weird when you’re liking something that you’ve became so attached to that thing and has this peculiar feeling of missing those things when you haven’t see them in like a few days. For me, BTS is the only one to make me feel so (awh this is so cliche but it’s ok i guess, ooh wait wait i used to feel the same with 2NE1). No matter how hard I try to stan for other groups, I’m just “Why is it so hard?? Why isn’t it as easy as when I fell for BTS?” Oh well, God knows why.
I sometimes also think about what would happen when BTS finally disband, or what would I do in the future after they disband. Everything wouldn’t feel the same as it was, and everyone would get back to their lives. But I’m always thinking stuffs that might probably happen when they disband like Seokjin getting a wife and they laugh together to his corny jokes (and maybe he’s already a great actor!), Namjoon and Yoongi enjoying their lives getting drinks and write music together, Hoseok teaching a dance class, Jimin and Taehyung going out to places (maybe they’d also already have girlfriends who knows?), and Jungkook making his own YT channel where he upload his GCF vlogs, his song covers, and such, I mean, think about all those things. It’s sad but I can’t lie I want to see them doing those things ㅠㅠ
In conclusion, they’re like my bank account. I love it and I take care of it with my soul.
What BTS mean to me: BTS are the friends that bring comfort when Im down...they are also my inspiration to never give up on myself and always strive harder to achieve my dreams💜💜💜
What Does BTS Mean To You ?
I discovered BTS a few years ago, in my first years in college. I had a hard time in high school and it was a new start for me. But I happened to face some difficulties. The first one was leaving alone, in a city I didn’t know and not knowing anyone in college. During the first month I discovered BTS and I rapidly love their music and the meanings behind their songs. Then I made a new friend, and I introduce her to BTS. We both became fans.
College was really hard, I had depression during my second year and got sick in my third year because of a lack of sleep. But during all of this hard times I had BTS. They became my safe place. I was listening to their music the morning when getting up, the evening while walking home and during the night while working. I watched video on my free time and discussed all the time with my friends about BTS. It became our thing, our way to relieved stress. And there still that safe place, the thing that make us happy and we share.
I’m actually participating not for me but because I want to offered an album to this friend and I can’t afford one. She has been as much helpful as BTS and she’s facing a hard time right now.
Thank you for your videos, they’re really fun to watch. Sorry if I had made mistake, I’m actually French. Sending you lot of love to you and your families.
It would be very hard to type down what how much BTS means to me and even to my younger sister. Believe me, I'm not exaggerating. I started listening to their songs in 2016, fell in love with the music first and then the members. For 2 months the only song that I had heard from them was blood, sweat and tears and we loved it so much that we used to listen to it on loop for 2 hours everyday haha. Soon became army. I am personally a very under-confident yet social person. Whenever I feel disappointed in myself or start disliking my actions or what I look like, their speeches, their lyrics genuinely remind me to appreciate and love myself. Whenever I'm feeling down, I just listen to their music(any genre) and that instantly makes me happy! Love watching their crack videos and their humble and down to earth personalities. Reminds me to do that myself. They inspire me and I have IMMENSE amount of respect for them.
Lastly, I would like to tell you guys that you are doing an amazing job and I love how open minded you are.
the second part of the photobook is bound differently, presumably so you can take the pages out and hang them, which is what i did and what i saw a lot of other armys doing 😌
BTS means my everyday happiness to me. A place that gives me peace and comfort, like a home in a big family. They’re my inspiration, my energy while drawing, picking up my hobbies again. They’re my serotonin in my daily life and thanks to them I met some of my best friends. They help me get through the toughest times and teach me to fight for my dreams and get through my hardships by finding myself.
As an Army opening up albums I always wash my hands wear gloves and be super careful as to not tear or scratch any part of the contents. I laughed so hard how you guys did your unboxing. Fun watching your videos
I remember feeling very low this year and BTS litreally came to without any warning and pulled me into a warm hug. And fortunately it was on my birthday. nothing, no music no person i don't personally know has touched me so much. The amount of happy tears i cried and litreally learnt so much about loving myself is unreal. This experience is like coming back home. BTS doesn't feel like it's something new. It feels like I've been here before, like Its meant to be. Even though i am a baby army i have learnt so much and have deep respet, love and affection for every member.
I wish i could thank them for everything they have done for me.
It's something i don't have words to describe with but yet here i am. Trying.
I hope this was convincing 💜
What BTS means to me: (They are my source of Equanimity)
I feel depressed when I wasn't able to pass in any university entrance exam I took, I have a lot of plan, I even have a year planner and stopping from studying is not part of it. I cried a lot because in my mind, all of my classmates are moving forward and I'm stucked, I also thought what other people might think of me for not passing a simple entrance exam. I find different things to do just for me not to overthink however I'm still sad, it has been 6 months but I cannot moved on from my failure until I saw their " Not today" music video, at first I don't know what it means but I feel strong just by the music, I'm hooked, and then I search the meaning of it, from that I fell in BTS rabbit hole. I don't feel the pressure of my failure any more, because of them I understand that struggles and failure is there for us to learn and time will reveal us why we have to experienced it. Just a simple tweet from them makes my day blissful and calm at the same time.
Oh man. What does BTS mean to me? Funny backstory: my college roommate and one of my other friends actually tried to get me into them about 2 years ago, but I wasn't able to get into them (yes I know mistakes were made🤣). Well, fast forward 2 years: my family friend and I were having a videocall in May and she introduced me to them again and made me watch a bunch of videos with her on the call that night. Since then, I started exploring the world of BTS and now I'm Army!
Honestly, I would say to me, BTS means happiness. When I'm having a bad or stressful day at school or work, I can count on random BTS videos to cheer me up. In terms of their music, their lyrics are so meaningful and so beautiful. I admire their message of love yourself and protecting the youth. I think what never fails to cheer me up is their personalities. They all have their own personalities that mesh so well with one another and I love it. The family friend that got me into them tells me that I am the female version of Jungkook and she is Jin because like Jungkook, I constantly tease her and mess around with her, and also food is life🤣. Lastly, BTS means happiness to me because of how relatable they are. You would think that being the biggest group in the world right now would get to their heads, but these guys are 7 humble kings. Their love for Army is huge and you can tell, which makes me like them even more. They use their platform to tackle things like social issues, love yourself, and protecting the youth, and they have saved many people worldwide through these messages,and that is why I love them and why they mean so much to me.
Okay WOW. Did not mean to write a whole essay for you guys! Sorry!🤣🤣🤣
What bts mean to me: They're the reason why i understand what 'love myself mean'. They taught me how to be a better version of me. Im not a confident person before but now i know how to stay confident and appreciate myself more.Yes, their music has a big impact on me and im so thankful with that💜
I was amazed at how BTS package their albums. All of their albums that I have bought have been like this. It puts American albums to shame ! And some of the albums actually have dvds included in the package. And I have gotten some albums (brand new, not used) as cheap as $18, and you still get the thrill- akin to opening presents on Christmas morning. BTS is the gift that never stops giving ....
Thanks to the people in the discord server for encouraging me to post this.
What BTS means to me... I think it's connection. I don't have many close friends and I often 'disconnect' from the world and from myself.
But BTS and ARMY remind me that I'm one of thousands of people, and that there is companionship in that, as long as I remember to reach out. Yet I also matter on my own, I have my own unique light that can't be replicated, and that my faults and flaws and my stories are part of who I am, just as much as my laugh and my heart and my body are.
And I've learned that all of me is worthy of love. BTS didn't _teach_ me that. They told me, _"you are enough, you matter, you deserve to be loved. But that love has to come from you first."_ But I didn't listen.
No, their voices guided me in the dark, when I was lost and disoriented and _so cold..._ I'd just lost my home, you see? I left too many pieces of myself there, to the friends and the family and the house I grew up with, so I felt like half my senses weren't there, I could only hear dampened sound and see washed-out color.
And then that day their voices brought me to a room made of mirrors, where they greeted me with warmth and laughter. And I laughed along, but I still hid myself.
They kept the dark away, though, and I could feel my edges thaw, so when they offered me a hand I let them lead me. And to the mirrors we went.
Once we stood in front of the walls one of them said, _"you see the ugly bits? The ones hidden in your bones?... I see them too. I see them in me just as much as you see them in you. And those ugly bits, they're a part of me, too. Just as your ugly bits are part of you. But let me tell you something. You had to _*_look_*_ for those ugly bits didn't you? You looked in the mirror and you pointed them out. But when I look at you, I only see _*_you._*_ There's some ugly bits we can point out in everyone. That's okay. That's normal. But don't let them distract you from the bigger picture. So, when you look in the mirror what do you see?"_
And I saw me. They didn't make me see it, but they told me to look, just as they had. So I reached out toward the mirror, toward the parts of me that are ugly and mean and happy and kind and beautiful. The girl in the mirror was enough. She was strong, and smart, and kind. And I hugged her.
But it was lonely. It was just me and myself in the mirrored room. We shined like a beacon in a sea of darkness. But I remembered that, before, there had been others around me, others who shined and laughed and also had ugly bits. But I was worried that they'd see mine and think they were too much. I was scared that the mean would hurt them and that they'd laugh at the weak, that the painful would sadden them and dampen their joy.
But these seven boys stood with me and told me to look, _really look._
I wasn't alone.
Like my eyes adjusted to the dark -or the light,- I could slowly see more people around me, looking at the walls and laughing and crying. And the seven people who had lured us there with their voices ran around smiling and hugging everyone, wrapping them in blankets and talking about both the deepest and the shallowest things. And when someone dropped to their knees, sobbing quietly, one of them would crouch next to them and hold them tight. They wouldn't leave until the ones that could laugh and smile and _see_ noticed, so when they let go of that person they wouldn't be alone. They just had to _look._
_I just had to look._
After a while, they stopped checking up on me. Instead they looked at me when someone dropped to their knees, sobbing quietly, and smiled at me as they left. And they smiled, too, when I cried and instead of the darkness I saw the light of everyone around me, and held the hand they offered.
Every now and then, I forgot that they, too, cried sometimes. That some days they hid because of the ugly bits. That there were other people who, lured by their voices too, lashed out at them and hurt them. I forgot that they were not our collective guardian angels. But when they dropped to their knees and sobbed quietly, all the people, all the thousands of lights, came forward and offered a smile, and a hug and a hand.
So I found connection, in that room. With myself and with others.
But I couldn't stay there forever. No one could. Not even those seven. We had things to do, elsewhere; and people to see, elsewhere. And new melodies to hear and laughs to share, elsewhere. And once I'd been in the room of lights and mirrors, the world outside wasn't as dark or as cold. I found light and warmth in the people outside, too. And I could see the world around me, and it was scary and beautiful and so big. I had a lot to live and a lot to see.
But the room with the mirrors and the music and the warmth, it has no place in time or space. So when the world turns cold or dark, or when the day was long or the night is too quiet, or when I feel happy and want to share that joy, I follow the voices that guide me home.
Because falling for them, for what they stand for, wasn't like falling at all, it was like walking into a house and suddenly knowing you're home.
BTS means a whole new level of standard of work ethics, professionalism & great attitude. They are wonderful human beings & professional at what they do. They are the kind of people you want to be friends with & work together, coz you know that they will be with you side by side all the way, in good times & bad times 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 l'm not sure how the education system works in the US, but l wish that young children are being taught on having good values, good attitude & manners first in schools before starting on any standard education.. Be a human first, then only you impart knowledge... Then only would they do good things in life because of having good values strongly instilled in them... BTS message of Love Yourself is powerful, if you don't love yourself, how can you love others... This creates a lot of positivity & spreading positivity, which the world sorely needs to make it a better place 💜
For me, BTS means that I have overcome my personality a lot and I dress in a different way, loving myself first and her music has changed my life.
What BTS means to me:
I used to suffer with Anxiety and Depression since 2016 i'm 16 yrs old back then but when I discover BTS this june 2020 Im so thankful that they changed my life ☹❤ i found out that there is so many reasons to stan and love them, there are thousands, a day is not enough to write all of them. I will give three: music, talent and personality. They are not just an idol, they are real artist. They are an inspiration. Their music is different, they add meaning to it and that meaning is so deep that will make you think about the meaning and purpose of life. They don't only talk about relationship, they tackle society issues, anxiety and depression, politics, youth, female empowerment, how beautiful and cruel life is and many other things.
Some of us are even suicidal but their music saved us, they became our saviour. They're telling us to keep on hoping for a better days and future. They represents us, youth. They motivates and strengthens us when we feel everything is falling apart. They're giving us hope, insipires and motivates us to work hard and pursue our dreams in life no matter how hard and long it will take because hardwork always pay off. They made me believe in myself and be confident. They're not just good looking but also talented. Their teamwork is the best. They can sing, dance, rap, and the fact that they are the one who are making their songs prove how talented they are. I stan BTS because they are BTS, they are real, so precious to this world that must be protected at all cost. Their personalities will never let you leave the fandom. They don't tell us to push them to reach the top but they told us, "let's hold each other hands and let's reach the top together" and I think that's beautiful. I stan BTS not because of their popularity and trophies but because they ate Bangtan Sonyeondan and I love them. I stan the right people and I'm so happy that I became part of this family (army).
I hope you will pick me because I don't have any merch because I can't afford buying those things but I will do my best to pursue my dreams because they motivate me and inspire me. Thank you and Godbless. I'm sorry for the grammar mistakes
First of all excuse my English, it's not my first language. What does BTS means to me? Hm... They are my saviors. I found them out back in March 2016, it was my first semester studying Law (here in Brazil the school year is different from US'). 1 and a half year later around May 2017 i was felling lost. I didn't knew where my life was going, I didn't knew what I should do. I started studying Law because my parents are lawyers and they wanted me to be one as well since I didn't pass the course I wanted at the time. I stopped paying attention to the classes, had no motivation at all to study, and every time I thought about my future I burst into tears because. That's when BTS saved me. There is a song of them called Tomorrow and it talks about pursuing our own dreams and not live some other's dream. The more I listened to it, the more I wanted to confront my parents about my course, and someday it happened. I told them I wasn't happy studying Law and that I wanted to study more to try pass the entrance exams to course Architecture. And that's what I did! Next year I'll start my 4th year coursing Architecture and if wasn't BTS probably I would be unhappy until today and for the rest of my life. I dedicate my life to BTS voting, streaming and buying their albums when I'm able to afford (since the dollar is too expensive for Brazilians right now) because BTS gave the control of my life back to me and now I wanna pay them back. They are my saviors, they are my everything, and I'll be here for them until I die 💜
YeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyyeeyeyeyeY
I adore that you gave one
To that lilArmy!!! 🥰
What did she say? Do?
Jump outta her skin??
The reason I love my favorite group BTS ?
Perhaps the words of thanks and praise value nothing and express how much I am for them, they are just as one soul that protects me wherever I go, they make my happiness with every passing moment in my life, and in intensity their songs, words and melodies enliven me and embrace me strongly, wiping my tears and You tell me that it is okay, everything will be fine, do not give up cuz life goes on , there is nothing wrong with some gray days and blue days, they are just like a remedy that relaxes the mind, I knew them for four years and it was the best I had.
Thanks to them, I learned what the word love means, and to whom I offer it, I present it to myself that I have been so hard on, for myself that has suffered a lot of harm, I offer love to my faults before my afflictions, to love and accept it because it is part of me and what I learned to love myself without deficiency All of what was said above is only a prelude to the love and appreciation I possess of seven boys who charted the path of my life.
I finish what I wrote in letters of thanks to you for your kind initiative by gifting followers what reminds them of their favorites, hoping that I will be one of the winners in order to possess what I wanted to possess.
Personally, I found BTS through Boy with Love. Heard the song on the radio one day and it just made me smile. Then, I looked up the video and went down the rabbit hole XD I got really blindsided by the wave of positivity that came with discovering their content and got sucked in completely. I've never really been in any kind of music fandom because I generally don't care too much about music all that much (I know, I know, I'm in the minority here).
Discovering their music taught me that I don't NOT care about music, I just feel about most music as I feel about most novels - if they don't manage to touch me emotionally, I don't care about them. And they consistently manage to reach me like that :)
Kpop photocards are like gold. Not just BTS but for each and every group. It can become a war zone as people try to collect all the sets.
So putting all of the photocards in one package is very different from what we've seen.
I can't wait until you post Blue & Grey and presumably the rest of the tracks because this album is so chill!
BTS my most powerful modulator to express myself and my own potential to the furthest. Without them, my life is miserable. I'm not right here, right now because of depression if did not know the boys. Their music is the medicine that heals me until eventually, I become a better version of myself. Love you guys.
What BTS means to me:
I found them with the release of Dynamite and they helped me through the pandemic, but more importantly, I was able to keep fighting, protesting, working for real change in this f'ed up country called USA because they gave me strength. A day may come when losa. But it is not today.
And if you are choosing, I am throwing my support to JJ. 💜
I'm not entering (my friend bought me a deluxe album) but I still wanna say what BTS means to me and share that with you two.
I'm an author. From 2017 to 2019 I suffered through panic attacks that were crippling. Every time I touched my computer or even a piece of paper I entered a state of freezing and unable to move or breathe. Imagine losing the only thing you've ever been passionate about, the only thing you are good at, and no longer being able to do that thing anymore because of mental health issues. To add on top of that my son, who was three at the time was losing the ability to speak and move and we had to get him speech and delay therapy which was a daily struggle to get him to where he is today. (He is autistic but is in first grade now and is capable of doing everything for his age group now thanks to daily work from me and his therapists.)
At the time, I had lost hope. I was suicidal. Depressed. My PTSD was acting up and I was only living for my son so that I could make sure he got the help he needed.
Then one day I was watching, strangely, 'Yuri On Ice' (an anime) crack videos on RUclips and someone had edited a clip of RM's song 'Joke' from his first mixtape. (I found this in 2018) At the time, my first thought was "Woah, hes hot and badass, who is he? I know this isn't Japanese but what language is this?" And I fell down the rabbit hole.
Fast forward to 2019 and I finally joined ARMY Twitter. I had been lurking, but never really made myself known till then. And weirdly, for the first time since I was 18 (I'm 27 now) I had made friends. I had lost all my friends when I got married and slowly they encouraged me to try to write again, but use BTS to overcome the panic attacks.
So in June 2019 I started to write fanfictions. (No I will not give away my fanfic name) I would listen to BTS music as I wrote and slowly, the panic attacks went away. I could touch my laptop again. I could write again. BTS resurrected my dream that had been killed by my mental health issues.
Then 'Black Swan' was dropped earlier this year and it was like the catalyst for everything up to this point for me. I am not slowly in the process of writing a novel I plan to publish. It will take time. But when it is ready I will be dedicating it to BTS because without them, I and my dream wouldn't be here today.
When you mentioned Black Swan, I said, again, BTS gave a song so personal. Mine is TEAR, thank you for expressing your love.
@@gracemclean2098 Its amazing how it feels like every ARMY has that one song that resonates with them on such a personal level that it changes them. They really are working miracles. Thank you for your response 💜
For me bts are my superheroes
They changed my whole life, and the way i should think in everything i do or have. They just show up in my life like a miracle that's why I love them so much.
BTS is my pill, they make me laugh. Everyday I watch and rewatch their live performances, reviews, news about them, run episodes, in short anything about them. 😁 and I'm so proud of them. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Ang you guys keep it up, nice reaction videos.
--proud 52 yr old ARMY 🤟👌
for me as well!!! just like you said! they make me laugh, it makes me happy to see them, their content, photos, videos, etc. I am a proud 36 yr old ARMY :)
Just as you said both of you ! I'm an ARMY women of 36 year old from France. Sorry for my english. I follow them since N.O song in 2013. I' m so proud of them like if they were my little brothers. This is so crazy 😅I went to see them 3 times in concert here in Paris and I'm always impressed by ARMY of every age and of all around the world. Thank you ARMY, you two as baby ARMY ;) and ours boys of course. As Jimin says : You're nice keep going 💜💜💜💜
I am not entering the contest. BTS to me is Hope, Joy, and Happiness 💜
I don't know if I had a chance, since I'm from Indonesia. It'll cost a lot of shipping.. But I'll try.
BTS is a group that give me a comfort, a support, make me feel happy everyday just by watching them. Get to know them through this journey, I get to know other ARMY from different part of the world. We can connect with people who speak different with us, but when we talk about BTS, we become one. And if a miracle come true, and BTS somehow read my comment, I just wanna them to know, that what they said, MUSIC TRANSCEND LANGUAGE is really true.. And I hope that they will continue writing lyrics, making music that give comfort to all of us. And people will recognise their talent and appreciate their art..
Btw... Because it's December, 4th...
Happy Birthday to Our Worldwide Handsome Kim Seokjin.. Thanks for the new song Abyss..🎉🎉🎉
Get well soon, and i hope you'll speedy recovery and meet us again, Yoongi ah..
To our leader, thanks for your hardwork, congratulation for debut at Hot 100 Songwriter, with Yoongi too.. 🎉🎉🎉
To our sunshine Hobi... Just look at your smile, make me smile... You really give us a positive vibe, to make us happy
To our lovely Jimin, your cute side, but sometime a sassy side, really adorable. Especially when bickering with Suga.. 😋
I really amaze with How Kim Taehyung aka our V, with his unique mind... I learn how you can make something different from others into amazing art..
And the last, for my bias.. Jeon Jungkook, JK, our baby bunny, If it's not because of you, i'll never knew about 7 amazing people..and meet a new family (ARMY)... And your love for us, to the point you've tattoed our name in your hand, and we will always be with you forever..
What does BTS mean to me? To me, they are EVERYTHING! They are our HAPPINESS, SAFE PLACE & COMFORTER because their music inspires me and other people. At first, I'm just a supportive mother to my 2 daughters (8 years old 12 years old) who loves BTS. They were the ones who introduce them to me. Before, I am into K-Drama....but now, I'm watching BTS since then. Because of them, I started searching about them, what's their past life and what they are as a person. I really love my kids and I want to give them something that makes them happy and the BE ALBUM is one of them. It's Christmas time already and I want to give them the BE Album as a Christmas gift, especially my youngest because her birthday is December 25. 😊
Thank you Chalfant & Trale for this giveaway and thanks also for the reaction videos that you made for us, the ARMY! God bless you more and more. 🥰🥰🥰
As Jimin says....BE NICE, KEEP GOING! 💜💜💜💜💜
Firstly, just wanted to thank you guys for giving this opportunity to lots of other ARMYs, that don’t have enough budget to afford the album. It’s truly so sweet of yours. 🥺 I’m not even sure if I’m gonna be the lucky one , but anyways just wanted to tell you my story. Also, wish good luck to other ARMYs.💜
My journey with BTS started 2years ago. As a freshman in my new university, new people, new town, and untreated depression caused by high school teachers, I’ve been undergoing through a lot of bad things inside me. Even though i was an excellent student at school, my last two years of high school became my worst nightmare due to some teachers, who for no particular reason tried to pull me down, spread dirty rumors and slandered other teachers to rate me a lower grade than I deserved. I’m mot clearly sure why they treated me like this, maybe because my parents aren’t powerful and wealthy people, maybe because i said or did something wrong. Having entered the university I believed that I’ll be okay and everything would go in a right way. Despite the new environment, new friends, inside I felt empty and worthless. I plunged into reading, doing university assignments , hanging out with friends and helping my sick grandma. Eventually, i got to that point that the words of those school teachers stuck in my head so strongly,so I really began to believe that I was nothing and I could be named as nobody. I tried to cover my insecurities by being busy and ‘productive ‘, while destructive thoughts and new other problems( with relatives, friends) were killing me inside. Nonetheless, things weren’t that much bad, as exactly at that time BTS found broken and lost me. And I’m telling that THEY found me. I believe that their music reaches hurt souls, no matter where you are, who you are. They come to our lives, at that time, when we need them. Like a miracle. I was truly touched by their music. The lyrics that speak loudly as if it’s your inner voice, and melody, hugging you a thousand hundred miles away. I wouldn’t have imagined such an embracing and healing impact, just from someone’s music. At that time they were my best gift, i could wish for. Seemed like their lyrics embraced me, comforted, inspired, and most importantly protected. They were my voice, they were my secrete fairies. As time passed by, thorough them i understood that I’m enough. Even more, it’s okay not to be okay. These days thanks to them my mental health got much better, i started trying new things, learning new languages, and taking care of myself and my beloved ones. I’ve never seen them personally but I consider them as my best friends, my family, my medicine. Thanks to them i feel myself less lonelier. I know that they will always offer me help, whenever I’ll need it. They are my best luck, my best gift. And i know that I’m not the only one, they have helped millions of people around the globe , through their love, talent and kindness. Maybe that’s why ARMY are always thankful and supportive towards them, since they became a part of us, somebodies who own a special place in our hearts.
To sum up, i just want to say that I’m very grateful to live at the same time with them. Thanks to them i got introduced to so many good things and people in life. And one of them are you. Watching your videos became my new favorite ritual of the week. Without too much saying, just wanted to thank you again for what you guys are doing and giving such an incredible opportunity to others. I feel myself so good after sharing my story with you. Thank you and love you.💜
I'm not entering contest,. BTS means Hope and Happiness.😊
BTS para mi es el mejor grupo que e visto y escuchado.
No solo son chicos hermosos y talentosos sino que en sus canciones dan siempre un mensaje oportuno. Son ejemplo a seguir en esta sociedad donde la música ya no es arte sino tan sólo un negocio, ellos hacen arte de su trabajo y esa es la diferencia. Los Amo #BTS 💜
Well well bts means the world to me, I first listen to them in 2014 and since then I am an Army, they helped me with my depresion and thanks to their message I could finally get my degree so since day one as they say someone from Argentina so far away from korea can now say that I really love my self thanks to them thanks to each memeber thanks to every song and thanks to the Army that they are there for bts and for others Armys too. To sum up bts is Army Army is bts bts is everything anyone needs to heal 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷💖 good luck ti every Army and thanks to you guys for this give away!
BTS means to me: friend to be family, hard and smart work, there is no acting to show everything, give the best thing
So I am kind if a rational person... and when life started to get more difficult for me I started thinking it would be easier to just stop... I started making lists to decide whether I should or not... and when I was about to maje a reaaally stupid decision I discovered BTS... and it really helped me since there was sooo much music and content to catch up... it really was like a distraction keepilng my over-logical brain quiet... and here I am now... appreciating my non logical decisions almost as much as the non logical ones.... through seeing them just like living life i learnd to just let life happen sometimes... like RM teached me: everything goes... Suga teached me that I don't need a dream... and this is whats taking me throughout the days... I learned that sometimes the work and effort I put in something will be worth more than the actual result... So yeah they mean a lot to me... I wouldn't be here... where I am... as i am without them
And i really want to apologize for my english
BTS are my world, my universe. They mean everything for me! They helped me in my darkest times and they're still there for me, unlike other people they will never leave me. I really love them, their music, their message, their performances, just everything. They are my world and my hope. They teached me how to love myself, I'm still learning and trying to really love everything about myself but it's working and I'm so thankfull for that. Sorry if my english isn't that good, it isn't my first language and I'm pretty bad haha. But I hope you understand what I tried to say, I purple you💜
I’m glad i chose this video to begin my lousy day.
I actually got cheered up when you thought you broke the book. ( Everthing you do doubles up cos i remind myself that you are a Principle.) Students are lucky to have a charming Principal like you. (I’d be happy to go to school.)
I'm being a part of army since 2015.. simply by when i heard i need you..
More i dig information from them, more i loved them..
They started with humble and still humble till now..
Bts also encouraged me when i lost my daughter from car accident..
I cried but also healed..
All the songs so relatable with our daily things and had deep meaning also became my favourites easily..
But, everything goes from RM's playlist "mono" was my favourite..
That song teach me to let everything goes..
Something that happened, let them happened..
You guys better to dig them soon, the more you dig, the more you can amaze by them..
Borahae :)
O.o an Army since 2015? Wow, I'm sorry for your loss I cannot imagine what you must have felt, I'm sure it's stories like yours that make BTS so passionate about music. Borahae! 💜
@@yummyfriend2262 borahae 💜
Hi guys! I'm not join but I want to say what does BTS mean to me.I came across BTS music by accident 4 years ago and I didn't even know what kpop is and thank to them I discovered my passion for the Korean language and now I've studying it for 3 years.I never thought that I would be able to speak Korean🤷🏼♀️ of course I still like their music and it's amazing that now I can understand every lyrics easily
what bta means to you?
me: They is my life and my everything..they teach me how to love myself..they told me to be happy everyday..and dont give up to chase my dream..they make me laugh when I have problem or sad...They love us so much..that make me fell..i really important...I always compare myself with other...and I fell like my life is worst..but they teach me to apreciate my life...They really change me..they make me believe
myself..
😂😂 yea it's supposed to be like that so you can get the ones you like and put it anywhere you like. 😅
hahahahahaha it's meant to break like that for mini posters XD your reaction made me giggle lol ty
I wont be entering your comp as i already have a copy and i'd love to see someone who doesn't own it get it.
They mean Peace to me, there's always a song for any mood i am having. I've been ARMY since HYYH p1 so the beginning of 2015, at the time it was really hard for me to get any info on them as i live in Australia and they were basically unknown here, but yeah they are always there for me musically and their content is always super involved. They just GIVE, like i haven't seen anyone in the music industry, Anywhere, give as much as they do. Everything and anything they do is for us, like i can't give back enough to repay them for what they give me daily. Thank you again for this i really hope someone who doesn't have this album yet wins also thank you to your secret santa who provided the albums
I'm loving the comment section here seeing all these beautiful stories about how bts came into their lives when they needed the most and changed their lives for the better! Bts really are our biggest source of strength and comfort for us!
Good luck to everyone participating! Hope you all get a chance to own their albums someday! 💜
Woohoo! We thought there'd be no better way than to ask the question we did.
BTS is my comfort and happiness. I met them when I needed someone, that time when I'm having a suicide thoughts. I grow because of them. I met them when I was 13 years old and that time they totally change my life, btw I'm already 15yrs old🥺. They open my eyes to the world. They make my dreams awake again. Their are so special to my heart day by day my love for my them is getting more deeper🥺💜
Sorry for my bad/error English:(
What does BTS mean to me?
Magic.
Do you remember in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, how their music brought peace to the world, enabled contact with alien races, caused the planets to align, and brought about a utopian society?
That's how I see BTS. 😊
BTS is simply my Euphoria ❤️
I just wanted to say I loved your shirts!! and you didnt brake it Chalfant, the photos detach so you can use them, hang them or whatever you want.

*"What does BTS means to me?"*
To put it simply they are the savior. Literally and metaphorically
Literally, three years ago i was still in high school. I was waiting my friend in the park, sat on the bench alone as we want to hang out(you know girl's time) so there was one suspicius guy suddenly sat down next to me and talk to me, basically this man was flriting to me(me being still underage at that moment). I was so scared (me being quite and introvert kid) asking and hoping anyone would save me and stop this freak man. Then i remember i have phone try to call my friend. Then he Saw my wallpaper was namjoon selfie(boyfriend look material kinda selfie) then he got mad and said " well if you have boyfriend why don't you said before, waste my time" then he left. I was so shock to reply because first that man was grown adult fricking dude, second he flirt with me who basically still 16 who looks even younger than my real age. I was so relieved and then cried when my friend came and i told them what happened. I was saved by namjoon
Metaphorically, when i was in my down whether i was in depression or sadness i run to them. I listen to their music, watching their variety show, laughing to their funny crackhead moments. And i realise they are also human who has down time, Suga has depression, Jimin has anxiety and selt-doubt, even namjoon can be nervous when he gave speak . Then i relaise how 'human' they are. How genuine and humble yet so powerfull and charistmatic. I wanna be this strong person with down to earth personality. I wanna be like them, not in the sense of music but in sense how they living this life. So then they become my role model
So whenever i was in down situation, in my depression, sadness. I remember even BTS can handle their why you don't.
"Namjoon didn't speak in front of thousand people about love yourself so you can be weak b*tch" (insert slap myslef)
"Suga can speak about his depression in his mixtapes means he ready to beat his dark side so why don't you open your mouth to the therapist"
"Jimin that man perfect as frick can still doubt about his talent, his voice. But he is surrounded by people who care and support him. So begin to open your heart to others"
So yeah for anyone that think BTS just typical music boyband. No, they are more than that they are my role model and others many role model too. Because i am sure i wasn't the only one saved by BTS. Because i am sure there are many others young people who got help from BTS just like me. Therefore i was so thankfull for them to be my savior just by being themselves living the life.
I feel you honey💜🥺
Bts indeed a savior of us💜
Hi! Can you send me a message on Discord please? 😎
@@BrothersFromAnotherColor okay💜
Btw, Happy new year 💜💜💜 (in my country at least now 00:00)
Hi! Firstly, I would like to thank you for holding this giveaway, I really appreciate that your channel is sharing the love and joy during this Christmas season!
I found BTS when I was at one of my lowest points in life. Dejected, upset - you name it. Upon listening to their songs, I found so much meaning in them and took comfort in their lyrics. I really related to it and felt that I wasn't alone, and I felt truly connected with them through these songs. I came across a quote before saying that we found bts when we needed them in our lives the most - this was so true. The timing couldn't be more perfect as they literally brought so much joy into my life.
Stanning them has been my best decision so far. Seeing them work so hard for their dreams and coming so far over the years reminds me that I need to continue working hard, and it motivates me to work even harder to achieve what I want to. I am so thankful that I found them, and they make me so happy every single day. Watching their videos gives me so much comfort, and they just brighten my day so much!
the meaning of bts to me is that they are the ones people should emulate because they are determined to fulfill their dreams and so they are now famous because they are struggling to achieve their dreams and love your neighbor and yourself trust yourself do not be afraid of the trials that go by so did the bts so they are there all the trials they went through so that they can reach their dream and lastly they are also the ones who inspire me and so I study good for my Family and the bts I hopefully to win I'm from Philippines
We already discussed the pull out part of the photo book in Discord but I still burst out laughing while watching you guys. 😂😂😂
Ps. I love your shirts today!
Pps. I'm not entering but for me, Bangtan saved my life. I was going through a midlife crisis when I found them and they really saved me with Answer Love Myself and Epiphany. I actually know about Taehyung since 2016 but was just a casual fan. Now I'm really a diehard fan.
Ppps. Followed you on Twitter with both my accounts lol.
Pppps. My son's favourite is Rubble too!!
Before I found them I was a disabled 60 yo that was bored and just waiting to die. BTS to me are equal to a defibrillator. They jump started my heart. My oldest daughter and granddaughter are also army. Thats where my interest was pecked. Honestly, I was only trying to learn who was who to surprise my granddaughter but I slipped and fell into the BTS rabbit hole. We have become very close though. No, We were alway close but that closeness has changed somehow. Most of my friends have passed. BTS have brought me a whole new group of friends. BTS have not only given me music but have given me books and Art as well they have inspired me to think. They opened my eyes to thing I’ve never thought about. They made me want to give back. I don’t have money to donate I have a fixed income but I have a BTS inspired heart so I volunteered to work at a food pantry. There are so many people out of work and needing help. I call five single people a day, that are shut ins, just to talk. People are lonely in this pandemic. Guess who always comes up in our conversations? If you thought BTS you would be right. 💜 they gave me back a life one that I want to live in.
BTS is one of my biggest motivation in life, my inspirations for my drawings, and pretty much half of my life. Their songs are what makes me happy and motivate me to get up from what’s been pushing me down, their stage performances are what make me keep saying “I’m gonna be successful like them, I’m gonna be cool like them”, their posts on Twitter are the one to make me “What is this? Why is Jimin keep posting stuffs?” and end up smiling and clutching my heart in awe looking at their photos, even looking at their faces makes me damn happy. For me BTS is like my everything💜💜
Before I wasn’t into kpop and one time i saw BTS on my recommended list in youtube. Ive only heard of them from a friend of mine and she kept talking about them and how they somehow saved her because of their music. So i gave it a try and watched the mv of save me (ik its pretty ironic but that really came up in my recommended videos). After watching the mv, i really liked it and now i know why my friend is really into this bg. At the time i used to be in a very dark place and seeing the lyrics of the song, i can somehow relate myself to it and somehow i felt saved by them as well. So in that sense, BTS for me is like a light in most people who are lost in the darkness and with nowhere to go. After that, BTS earned themselves a fan and although im not a hardcore fan, i really appreciate every music they put out and i always give it a listen.
What bts means to me: I found bts during the eeriest and at the most suicidal time of my life which was around late 2018 . everyone thinks people stan them because they're pretty but that's just not it. Bts literally always incorporate positivity in their music and actions and it's honestly helped me be mentally stable throughout all my suicidal thoughts. I feel valued and I don't feel alone anymore. Even if they don't know me personally they're home, they're the comfort that I found when I was very close to killing myself. And till today, they help me deal with everything uncertain.
Suga talking about his mental health encouraged me to somewhat show severe signs of my mental illness to my family and this has caused them to understand my pain and help me deal with it!
I adore them with all my heart for everything that they've done for me.
I'll be turning 19 next year because of them, because I didn't know if I was going to make it till 19 two years back.
That's all I can muster up at the moment, I don't know if it's enough for you guys to pick me but I hope it is. Thank you 💜
Well BTS are my inspiration and also my saviour. They helped me as a great friend who continued to uplift me through their songs. Their work continues to amuse me , inspire me and makes me want to be a better person. Their music helped me through some tough times and still doing and that is why i love them and admire them so much. They are not only some great musicians but also such great human beings . Nowadays its so hard to find people who can comfort you with just their music and not only that them being themselves also comforts you . Everything about them is so wholesome and so approachable. I think that they came as brothers in my life I never had. I am so thankful that the world has BTS today.
p.s - i love the way in your videos you both breakdown everything and appreciate them .Thank you for working hard for us viewers.
I die laughing when you thought you broke the book! Don't glue on it lmao!
I love hanging out with you guys 😊
The mini posters part always makes me laugh. Every reactor says the same thing.
YES I THINK IT IS A SEPARATE BOOK! Watch SUGA's BE album review to make sure though, I don't think he takes it out
괜찮아요 그거 원래 떨어지게 만들어진거예요 걱정 마세요~^^
리액션 항상 잘 보고 있어요~
앞으로 BTS 모든 곡, 무대(특히 라이브가 좋답니다) 리액션 영상 기다릴게요
봄날 리액션 인상 깊었어요!~
What does BTS mean to me? Everything. And when i say this people look at me like i'm just a fangirl fangirling over a boyband. But I mean it. BTS tought me how to love myself, they inspired me to be a better version of myself. Before i found out about them, i was a cold person. I didn't like people, being the center of attention, I was alone all the fricking time. And i wasn't alone because i wanted to. I was alone because i was scared, I was scared of people. I didn't love myself or anybody else. But BTS made me realise that the most important thing in my life is me. I started talking to people, I made friends, I started loving myself and that is all because of them. The 7 guys from Korea made me a better person. And although i never met them i consider them my best friends, my EVERYTHING.
Laura, from Slovenia
Thank you for your support to BTS and love watching your journey of becoming an army. What BTS means to me: BTS are not just a normal kpop group, they are the real source of motivation and happiness in my life. I know when I was literally struggling alot with my life, they came as a source of happiness for me and showed me the path of being a better person everyday. BTS found me in the time of my life when I needed them the most.
Thank you and just love your channel 💜
What BTS means to me: I don't know what they are to me exactly, all I know is that when I needed something to tether me to the world, to ground me they were there. Even before I actually got to know them, their music touched me and helped me. They're like the branch that protruded out of the side of a cliff, there for me to cling onto when I was falling : )
You're okay. It's alright. Don't cry. It's not broken. Please don't glue it back. 😂😂😂😂
Fun fact: I believe V was in charge of the visual aspect of the album. So those photocards with each individual in their rooms were V's idea...I think!

What BTS means to me?
Nobody has ever asked me this question before and neither have I really given it a thought. I reflected upon this and to be really honest it took me three days to get all my thoughts and feelings together to pen this down. Just bear with me it may be quite long but trust me this is the first time I am confessing this.
I won’t say things like “BTS is my everything” because in the realest sense they are not. I want to be as realistic and genuine as I possibly can be while explaining what BTS means to me in my life. They played a subtle yet important role in shaping me as a person that I am today.
Since 2015 BTS has been a constant in my life. Although their role, significance and impact in my life kept on varying. I have never meet a single person who appreciates or even understands my love and admiration for BTS and thus I never got a chance to talk about this. I am gratefull for this opportunity.
BTS has given out countless meaningful messages. But rather than listing out that endless list I just want to talk about the specific things that I have learned from each member that has really impacted me and guided me in my life.
◻ For me Jin represents confidence and self-love
I really struggled with keeping up with my other follow students (preparing for the same entrance exam of the university). I would get frustrated and angry that why others don’t have to strive as hard as I do? If I am working just as hard as others why am I not scoring as good?
When friends, family and teachers brushed my questions off by saying it’s just that I am trying hard enough, it was Jin who motivated and guided me. I learned from him that EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN PACE.
It’s not that I am not trying hard enough but sometimes to reach the same goal different people needs to put different level of efforts. It may be easier for others than it is for me and I need to accept that, take my time and strive harder to achieve that goal.
I happy to announce that I got the admission in the university that I always wanted to attend.
◻ For me Suga represents strength and sacrifice.
Few years down the line I really struggled with deciding what I wanted to do in my career. I was surrounded with an echo of countless opinions of others, of what would be best for me in my future, that I drowned my own voice. Suga taught me to just sit back and relax. ITS OKAY TO NOT HAVE A DREAM. I’ll eventually figure it out with time, which I did! And I am really grateful to myself that I took my time :)
◻ For me Jhope represents hope and happiness.
The most valuable thing that I have learned from Jhope is that MY HAPPINESS IS MY CHOICE. Everyone struggles and have fears. I have the choice to see the bright side of the things and make my life easier. This mantra really keeps me floating from day to day.
◻ For me RM represents vision and control
From RM I have learned that RESPECT is as important (if not more) as LOVE. I have learned to accept that there are and there will always be people in life with whom I share mutual love but not mutual respect. I refuse to dwell in a love which shows me no respect.
◻ For me Jimin represents support and affection
Jimin has taught me that just simply LISTENING and being there for the people goes a long way. I can’t stress this enough that how this lesson has saved the sinking relationship with my elder sister.
◻ For me V represents beauty and uniqueness
I have learned from V to be comfortable in my skin. I have learned that it’s normal to change as you grow up. Not all people will like this new change. You’ll lose a lot of friends growing up and make new ones along the way. I have learned to be unapologetic about my likes and dislikes. This has been really life changing. Saved me the trouble from swatting away the fake ones.💅🏻
◻ Jungkook: For me Jungkook represents passion and dedication
Jk has shown me how a life without PASSION is a waste. Earlier I had no clarity as to what I wanted to do with my life, had no dream. But now with time I have realised what I want to do and what I want to become. This sense of clarity truly drives my passion to work endlessly to achieve my goal. I fell you now Jk Passion truly drives the life🔥
I share the same age as Jungkook. Feels like I have grown with them side by side. Feels like I have lived through so many experiences through their eyes. They have made me more mature, sensitive, sensible and accepting. They have normalised the idea of a blue day for me. I have a good family, I have supportive friends, I have got admission into a good college, I don’t have any dark past STILL I can have a bad day. I am not being overdramatic or attention seeking. I can be blue. They have helped me break out of the toxic positivity bubble that was showed upon me since I was a child.
You ask WHAT BTS MEANS TO ME IN MY LIFE?
They feel like an OLD FRIEND. A friend that I look up to. A friend that has guided me and has taught me some invaluable lessons in my life. A friend that I love and support. A friend that loves and supports me. A friend who has rocked me through my hard times. A friend who has celebrated with me. (I have always managed to find just the right song to suit my mood:)
They just have always been there. They had and still have a strong influence in shaping my personality, which certainly can’t be said for most of the people in life. The collective identity that I share with millions of people as ARMY always felt personal. But as I said earlier not a single person in my life appreciates or even understands this. What a shame people just refuse to see beyond the surface.
Putting these feeling into words had been tough yet wonderful. My chest feels light. Thank you for this opportunity💜
I really apologize for this long essay😂 and I appreciate the ones who read it till the end🙌🏻.
What BTS means to me:
They are my therapy, They are my rest, They are my sun because they make my dark days shine. At first i feel lost like im in a world full of strangers. I have no one to trust. and they came to my life to bring me back to the light, it was cloudy before but now it's so clear, and they took away my fears, negative thoughts, anxiety, depression. When i dont have BTS in my life, i always wake up with negative thoughts, like i wish i did not wake up but when they came into my life I wake up everyday
with a bright smile upon my face. No more tears, no more pain
because they teach me to love myself, they teach me to use them to love myself. They help me understand that loving yourself is the best thing to do in this world full of hatred. They taught me by sharing their life, their hearts, their minds, their musics. They gave me strength when I wasn't strong. They gave me hope when all my hope is lost. They opened my eyes when I couldn't see. So what BTS means to me: They are the moon that glows in my heart. They are my daytime my nighttime, my world, in short they are my life.
BTS means a lot to me, they are my safe space where I can find comfort, support, understanding without judgement and friendship. They introduced me to an awesome community and family called ARMY, where you can find diverse people who have many things in common, and the meain is love for BTS and each another. Thanks to being an ARMY I've made awesome friends on internet and real life. BTS taught me to be myself without fear or shame, to go at my own pace in life, to accept myself with my strengths and weaknesses, basically to love myself, and to do so with others as well. I wish them all the happiness in the world, whatever it is to them, and that they are always healthy. And I wish the same for all the ARMYs out there as well. Thank you all for being awesome! I purple you 💜
Thank you guys for the content 😁
So, what bts means to me?
First, I got over the preconception I had on kpop (for many years I would refuse myself to give it a chance because I would say that I wouldn't be able to understand or to enjoy it), it made me realize how stupid that thought is and that even though I try to be open to everything, I still had some things within myself I needed to change (and thank god I did)
Second, through their music I was able to relate to them in many levels. I understood that everybody goes through difficulties and that we are never really alone. That there's no shame in being scared or sad.. They give me comfort, happiness, sadness (in a good way). And now after 12 months into them, I can definitely say that I love myself, that I'm worth it, and their music and their speechs helped me understand that.
Then, with Armys, I saw some of the most amazing things. Not only the love for the boys, but the exceptional things we are able to accomplish when we come together as a community. They inspire us to help others, even that sometimes we are not able to do much, doing whatever we can is enough. Sometimes we just need a small act of kindness in our lives.
They make me laugh like hell when I'm sad, they make me sing and dance, they give me strength to fight when I feel at the bottom, and most importantly, they make me wanna be myself. They do so much, for so many people. They literally change people's lives, I know cause they changed mine 💜
By the way, I really love your videos! Your reactions are so genuine and you sometimes look just like proud parents hahaha
Sending all my love from Brazil 💜 and good luck to everyone. Fighting! 😊
What BTS means to me... Wow I think that are a lot of people like me yeah. They mean everything to me they are more than just a group they are literally the only ones who I was able to relate they are the ones who help have a reason to live because I used to have anxiety and I suffered depression in elementary school because I was bullied by the kids at school and I didn't say anything to my parents so they still doesn't know so just stayed alone in my own world and my first kpop song was mblaq this war and I got into kpop then I heard about them and how people treated them and I was like "I'm going to stay by their side I'm going to love them" and after everything I got better and started to love myself. So people love yourself it doesn't matter how you are ni who you are just love yourself and don't give up! I purple you
It's not broken. It meant to be like that. This way you can hang them up as individual pictures.
What Bts means to me?
Bts are my role models there someone I can always look up to and motivate me. They have taught me many things that no one has ever talked to me about like loving myself. They inspire me to do better everyday and make me happy. Watching their videos brings so much joy to me and help me feel better if I’m feeling down. They have been an incredible discovery that I’m very blessed to have. I love them so much and will always support them 😁💜.
Woo hoo #5 thumbs Up!!!!!👍🏻
WHAT DOES BTS MEAN TO YOU?
Well they say that BTS comes into your life at the right time..Its never to late or early when it comes to BTS...
It's so incredible how listening to 7 boys or should I say angel's songs and even their existence have literally changed my life..
Me too was very shy and often felt awkwardness in life.. But what changed me is bangtan...
As I'm a graduate student, whenever it's time to give presentations or present anything, I watch the bts interviews. The way they talk it gives me hell of a confidence, they became my strength to believe in myself and accept myself for who I am and this made me confident...
They are the one that makes me laugh when I cry, comfort me when I'm low...
And also I want to thank you for your reaction videos... Watching your videos really makes me proud and happy of my boys and how bts is not only changes mine but everyone's life..
I just want you to know that bangtan and ami are always there with you and for you...
My friends often ask me that how long are you gonna be army? What if the days comes when there's no bts? There's one thing II know that I am and forever will be army.. As we say.. One you JIMin, you can't JIMout😂... Even if the day comes when they decide to retire... I'm still gonna keep watching run bts, bon vogage n listen to the songs and be thankful that they were always there with me through this journey... Bts borahae... We PURPLE you💜
What BTS mean to me? Well, BTS literally save my life trought their songs. I love them so much, I think can't really explain what they mean. They're everything, whenever i am sad, stress, or with a lot of things going on they just mean confort. They are my happiness♥
They came into my life in 2018 and sometimes I wish I had met them sooner, but I know they came at the right time and when I needed them most. I will always be grateful to them for the messages and teachings they give us through their music and as people. I learn to love myself thanks to them♥
What BTS means to me? In short, they feel like home to me. They make me feel relaxed and calm... I've had liked other groups in the past but there aren't any groups that have made me feel the same way.
