How I Became a BTS ARMY!

[@spideylexi]

The army saying “you find BTS when you need them the most” could not be more true. I was first introduced to BTS when I was 16, my mother overdosed and me and my siblings were put into foster care. I was separated from all of my family and friends and taken across the country to live with strangers. Everyday was a living hell that I didn’t want to be in anymore. Everyday suicide was looking like a better option. Then one day I was scrolling through KZbin and saw a video, BTS Mic Drop. I used to make fun of people who liked kpop and said their fans were just a bunch of crazy fangirls💀 started to learn more about them as people and the positive energy kept me going, it was like a distraction from real life. Their music and positive message of loving yourself, their stories of past struggles, and their hilarious personalities really comforted me long term, it stuck with me. Now I’m 19 and just got out of the system and I’m slowly getting my shit together. Thank you BTS, I genuinely don’t know if I’d still be here without that support I needed at that period of my life.

From the time I heard the answer to JHOPE's interview, I was already so proud of him and his members for making such a declaration. They were never bluffing or exaggerating and I firmly believed they would make me more proud of them. "BTS~! Liking you was my best decision ever"

I'm 60, Army since 2013. I have liked lots of groups/singers in my life, but nothing like I love BTS. The songs, the lyrics, the charisma, the humbleness, the storyline, the sharing of themselves, the sheer talent in this one group is like nothing I've seen before. Separately, they are each very good, but together they are fabulous. They called it destiny, and I think I agree.

[@angelinabora558]

U feel me right? From first time I even don’t know about K-pop, I mean I heard about it but never want to hear deeply about that. But some of my friends always and always talk about How they start Curious about BTS and about their music, their journery etc And one day my friend who trough some down mental problem, she broken heart and crying alot about it.. she suddenly came with smile like a new person, and she start tell me about BTS and their song.. she said “this Boygroup help me to find my happyness back, my hope to keep strong and stop crying and whining..” I just wondering How K-pop things can make my friend like change just in one nigt.. She talk to me that BTS’s songs talk to her, she watch all their videos on youtube and more and more falling for their stories.. And yeah finally, I start to curious about BTS too. I find that they are not just a Kpop musicians but more like spiritual artist, if you know what I mean. They are not just singing but sharing, sharing their story and sharing their capability to healing and give people “understanding” feel.. And of course not only me, but lot of people say the same, people who coinsidence Falling in love with BTS.. I try to listening other group too but I don’t know just feel so different.. I’m not talk about melody, beat, outfit, visuals or something.. but they had a point, a message, a charisma to make people feelin’ their music, their lyrics and slowly make people addicted and falling in love with them.

i have to be honest, before i started watching you i wasn’t a fan of bts reactors. i have no clue what possessed me to click one of your videos but i’m so glad i did! it’s so nice to see someone genuinely enjoying what they’re reacting to unlike others who simply react to bts because they’re popular and it will get them views.

I remember finding your channel when you only had your first reaction to it. And it has been gratifying to see how you have opened your mind to them. I'm an Army since 2013 and I've seen them all happen. And I really appreciate when people take reactions seriously, they inform themselves and appreciate them for how they really are. Unfortunately many still use them to attract views. But I thank you for the great work you have done so far. Talking and informing how much they are as artists. And let me tell you,that seeing your reaction to Eternal made me convince myself of your human value. Since you understood but especially felt what they love their Army. And when you feel that love, you are already an Army. Keep working hard, and you will succeed on your way. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽💜7️⃣💜

I fell into this BTS rabbit hole/sinkhole in 2018. I spent a lot of sleepless nights watching MVs, live performances, almost all episodes of Run and all 4 BVs. I like to watch the MVs and reactions to the video too.TBH, you are one of the top 5 reactors I really admire. There's no one else like BTS. BTW ARMYs can be sometimes so demanding hahaha but you nice...keep going ! jimin's words :)

Ah, my friend! We told you so. It's like scratching the surface of the complexity,, genius and simpleness of BigHit and BTS. I have been tracking their plans for a couple of months now and if you look at each song, MV just everything is like a masterplan from the beginning to not just entertain but educate and make us humane again. This is why I subscribed to you. You don't just do surface-level anything. I love your curiosity and enjoyment of life and people. Welcome to the ARMY. I am an older person but a new ARMY. ARMY like BTS is a great group of people who are complex and fun. Borahae! Fighting!

[@Sagemoon40]

and down the rabbit hole we go Alice It has been a joy watching you fall in love with BTS. They contiune to surprise and amaze. The night I found BTS I was depressed looking for a song to dedicate to my late father that is when Spring Day popped up then Stigma and from there I binge watched the rest of the night. I cried, I laughed, I found comfort with these seven young men who relit a flame for music and eased the pain in my heart. When I was in therapy for my depression one of the things I learned was to look for a light no matter how dark my day seemed, on that day BTS was that light. They continue to shine on all of us, giving us hope and reminding us we are not alone. BTS are more than singers, rappers or dancers, they are a positive force in a dark world. Thank Creator for bringing these boys together, for their music and their message. Peace and Love

[@mikaela2819]

im an ARMY since 2014, i adored them so much from the visuals, choreos, vocals and especially their attitudes. however since I've gone through a phase where everything around me was black and my grandfather died I somehow put me being an ARMY aside. i was so depressed that time and lost. and then came 2017, i began listening to their songs and i was somehow content with that, i love their songs and it at least gave me escape from the pain i was experiencing. then time passed, LY series came, and dem they hit me, LY Answer, specifically the songs Love Myself and Epiphany made a great change in me. I could say that they were the ones that helped me to fix myself and love myself for who i was, what i have, and everything else in life. I love these boys so much now that I can't even go through a day without listening to their songs, whether from the 2Cool4Skool to the MOTS7. they changed me and brought out the best of me, and I'll always be grateful for that. each of them made me happy in my bluest days and I'm just thankful and love them even more. I'm glad I found them again that time. I really am.💖

[@aa.s.7065]

I'm the kind of person who keeps things bottled up, and it's hard for me to talk to people because of my anxiety. I try to help everyone but I couldn't help myself. And no one noticed a thing. Not my family who yell and emotionally guilt-trip me every day. Not my friends who used to make fun of me for being quiet and pushing me to do things that caused panic attacks. Then I found BTS. They walked right into my heart after I opened up. At first, I listened to a family member who made fun of them constantly. The song that made me gravitate toward them was Spring Day. Then Idol. Then Fake Love. It was all downhill after that. Their message of self-love, their lyrics that speak of truth, how much I can relate to them, the laughter I hadn't genuinely brought out in months finally truly coming out at their hilarious personalities. I can't say I love myself yet. But I am getting myself together, getting my life back together now, and it's all thanks to them. I cut off those toxic friends, I didn't just let my anxiety and depression control me anymore. I'm not anywhere close to getting rid of it, but I am getting myself together and I have no one to thank but BTS for offering me a hand to pull myself out.

Discovered BTS during the pandemic. Been living alone, on lockdown, away from my family for 6months. Very prone to depression and my mental state would have collapsed if i have not laughed, cried and awed with BTS. Didn't know their message would hit so deep as loving myself since i have been a pleaser all my life. And now, i feel like i belong somehow, with the Army family. I'm glad to be a part of the Dynamite history...

This is the same experience for me too I also found BTS the same time and I was In a bad way too anxiety crying all the time without BTS I don’t know what I would without them they are the only thing that makes me happy. Other than my parents I have no one else I do not talk to other members of my family and I don’t have friends. I have loved BTS ever since then I have not found another group who I feel the way about.

.. I remeber your journy..didden't know if I liked you att first..but you grew on me..🤣..you turned out to be one of my favorits 💜🇸🇯

[@girlwithluv_and_ugh9975]

I was here when you first found them. Loving the glow up.

[@anlicsceadu]

I remember commenting on your first video about BTS, because I found it so amusing that you thought there was only one "it" member. I'm so happy to be able to say, "welcome to the ARMY" now. Thank you for all of your genuine reactions and thoughts. Your journey has been so fun and enjoyable to watch!

[@nyords9603]

When you JIM-IN...you can’t JIM-OUT💜💜 we purple you😊

[@spyromom9388]

You are one of my favorite intellectual reactors 💜

[@flippyandclumsy]

I find you a genuine person who really likes BTS because your inpressions when i first got introduce to them are the same. And you being loyal to them makes it more believable as that’s what i felt as well 😊

[@sandyaz5595]

Thanks for this synopsis of your journey on your way to being ARMY. I remember watching that first time you reacted to them and thinking “just wait, you have no idea of their talent .” Very gracious and fun of you to make this video!

[@carolinagold3959]

Welcome welcome!! as ARMY you join the biggest, most amazing fandom on earth (truthfully I have been watching you since you started reacting to them - the second you were ready to fight the Grammys most of us knew you were one of us already hah!). You truly find the boys when you need them the most, like we all did. Borahae! I purple you!

[@spideylexi]

It’s been really interesting watching your BTS journey cause I used to think just like you at the beginning before I got into them. It was bizarre how there was no egos involved, how genuinely close they are, and how involved they are in the production process. Love the videos keep it up🤙

[@maryamjimin4846]

"I think they're singing about me" YESSS HONEY love that! 😄

[@debbylove2010]

Welcome to BTS family❤ I 'm a Army for a little time....but I love all to my deepest heart❤ and love you too because you is part of the family❤ DT Parker❤ you is adorable🥰❤

[@happiness4vr]

Thank you kindly for sharing your thoughts and feelings on BTS. They definitely have sacrificed a lot of themselves and they have put their heart and soul into their songs and dance choreography and more.

[@Sharilynner]

I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed watching this. It’s so fun to see other people falling down the rabbit hole. BTS is life changing and I love them so much. Like real, actual love.

[@anoldladysiest]

Yeap ! You've done what I'M DOING, STILL DOING for FOUR YEARS and It's .....STILL NOT ENOUGH ! Welcome to the club , DT !

[@tabikook02._]

Wow it's amazing!!!!! Well, well come in ARMY family !!!!

[@michelle.l7179]

We are so happy to have you in this big Family 💜 It makes me happy to have followed you since you were just getting to know them and see you now. I purple you! 💜 I'm excited to keep walking this road with all of you

[@tracie875]

I discovered them around the same time you did... and also fell in love with them. I'll be in Santa Clara also so hope to meet you there! 💜💜💜

[@iddaalbar2129]

Welcome army 💜 in this house we bleed purple. I’m so glad you found them when you did. Been watching your journey from the first video and it was about time you realise you’re army hehe. This comeback is such an amazing one and glad you’re enjoying it. I still believe the person that was asking for you to react to BTS to find the “it” guy was setting you up to fall in the BTS hole.

[@theajane6444]

DT...This is so sweet. Your look back at what happened is a little like reading a stash of love notes and feeling again that thrill of discovery and new love. What I really like about you is your willingness to go "there", how willing you are to dig deeper into the content and how immediately humble you are when your mind gets changed in an instant. BTS is like a thunderbolt...

[@WatchMeWakeU111111]

Hell yes DT genius fan, you were doomed from the get and you're right there will never be a more complete group than BTS. I for one am so grateful my daughter turned me on to them. I am 47 years old, BTS music cuts through any division you can name. Their message cuts to the heart of what it is to be a human being and it's all love.

[@user-yv7fn6xr2m]

Awww been following and watching your videos since the first reaction to BTS. I remove if for frustrated at you trying to find the it boy but then the videos progressed and you sort of forgot about it till we reminded again. It’s been amazing watching you fall down the rabbit hole. Hope you can keeping the boys as time goes by more. Stay well army!

[@almyra88]

So many of your reactions have become iconic to me... lol "flustered" ... love you for that!

[@downtherabbithole9143]

Welcome to ARMY DT. 💜 I’m a bit addicted to your BTS reaction videos I have to say. Enjoy Festa and the concert!

[@josephinaschneider5750]

Him: "I'm a genius fan" Me: ah kay, he's a suga fan 😏

[@nanikkaryawati5782]

yes I think so he's SUGA crash 😂

[@soumaya4455]

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yaaah

[@kimk8904]

I love that you walked through your journey (so far) with us again. You are by far one of my favorite reactors because you get who they are and how talented they are. I can’t wait til you get to see them live-it’s the most amazing experience (just get ready for post-concert depression. It’s real).

[@gab688]

Loved seeing your journey into the rabbit hole. Thank you for being open and accepting of their messages, and appreciating and acknowledging their dedication for their craft.

[@fancynancy6467]

This was a nice video on your Journey to becoming an ARMY. Finding out Jimin is your bias was the best! Loved it.

[@samzen]

New sub just found you and as a 42 yr old proud to be army! You completely express how easy it is to love BTS for everything they are and stand for.

[@marthalvg5302]

Omg the transition tho! Thank you for joining this army journey and for listening their message without prejudice 💜
