It was not shocking that I would need to fill in the hole that One Direction left when they decided to go on their "hiatus" but it was surprising that I found another boy band who spoke a different language than me. I guess I fell into the bandwagon but as I watched more videos and saw how engaged they are with their own fans.
It's impossible not to love BTS or even become an ARMY.
I started watching reaction videos of BTS and throughout people's reactions I could see why there are immensely popular despite the language barrier. BTS can dance, sing and rap their butts off. Did I mention their lyrics are powerful and they write their own music and... produce their own songs. BTS is extremely hardworking and it would be a shame to say otherwise.
Some people may say that they are another boy band but to me they not anything like any of the boy bands in the states. There dances and lyrics are powerful to the full extent. Each member has the chance to put their own music out. BTS members are very supportive towards each other.
BTS holds live chats even though they are one of the biggest boy band and been around for 7 years or so. They release content even when they are on vacation to engage with their fans. They never forget to say thanks to ARMY through their words, and songs.
Many of BTS songs are for ARMY to help them get through the toughest parts of life.
Each member have been very vocal about their life experiences and their own insecurities. They not afraid of showing their emotional and vulnerable sides to help ARMYS get through tough times.
BTS songs are powerful and meaningful. It contains messages of loving yourself and importance of it. I want to address each member separately and talk about how incredible each member is from Oldest to Youngest.
Jin aka Kim Seokjin
A vocalist who shows that hard work can make anything happen. Jin is one of the most powerful vocalist and it shows after years of being with BTS. Jin is the oldest member but one has to acknowledge is joking side. Jin's songs such as Epiphany and Awake shows vulnerability and expresses truth behind those written lyrics. Epiphany and Awake lyrics and the power delivery of the song makes anyone emotional and proud of Jin and his journey.
Suga aka Min Yoongi
The coldest member who doesn't express much with his words but through his music. When I first looked at BTS, Suga was the one I connected with, his story of his depression struck me and that he had no problem expressing it. Most songs that have emotion is thanks to Suga. Suga also is an active producer of BTS and other artists. ARMY'S says that Suga raps with his soul and it is shown. It may seem aggressive but once you look at the lyrics it's anything but aggressive but honest.
J-hope aka Jung Hoseok
The sunshine of the group who brings a smile out of me when I see him goofing around. He is also incredible dancer and rapper that is different from both RM and Suga. He raps with a lighter tone and his music shows lightness and exudes happiness. He is the definition of hope. ARMY has says that J-hope raps with his heart.
RM aka Kim Namjoon
He's the leader that knows how to stay calm and level headed. He makes great songs with great lyrics for other members that captures each member's personality. He is the rapper that has a more aggressive tone but ARMY has says that RM is the rapper who raps with his brain.
Jimin aka Park Jimin
There's something about Jimin that no one can ignore. He's expressive through his dancing and his honesty throughout interviews about his self-doubt makes ARMY and everyone being able to connect with Jimin. He can rap, sing and dance like no one else.
V aka Kim Taehyung
The soulful deep voice that BTS has. V exudes soulfulness when ARMY hears the deep voice. It's distinctive but V can also go high like other members in BTS. He's cool, honest and truthful towards ARMY.
Jungkook aka Jeon Jungkook
The Golden Maknae, the boy who is the youngest but seems wiser than his age. Jungkook is very good at telling a story through songs or even video production. JK is actively involved producing videos that shows what it's like to be in BTS. He also engages in livestreams. Jungkook's amazing editing skills are shown in his videos called Golden Closet Films. He participants in production of BTS music. Jungkook brings funny, serious and talent to BTS. No wonder he's the main vocalist.
I became an ARMY towards the end of 2019 and I must say that I am incredibly proud to call myself an ARMY because their music makes me gain a sense of happiness and makes me feel not so alone.
P.s: It's hard to pick my bias but right now it's between Jungkook, Jimin, Suga and J-hope.
