BTS keeps communication open
The bond between BTS and ARMY becomes stronger every day. They give us new content to appreciate and enjoy almost every day, in the form of Bangtan Bombs, VLives, and Fms. Recently, they kept us entertained for a whole weekend with BangBangCon, where old concerts came out of the archives for a massive online stream.
Even in times like this, during the COVID-19 quarantine, BTS never allows us to feel alone and isolated.
They keep our online interactions alive, responding to fans comments on Weverse and share pictures and things they think we could find interesting on Twitter--even simple things like suggesting a song or a book. They talk about their days, show us what they do; they post TikToks and videos of them exercising and staying active.
Exploring new ways to stay connected
Twitter and Weverse aren’t the only networks they use to communicate with us.
When BigHit announced the BangBangCon, they got ARMY excited for the first time during this quarantine. Imagine enjoying concerts in your room, for 12 hours a day, especially if they were ones you’d missed? When things like this happen, ARMY feels a lot more like a family. It felt like we were there with them!
On Apr. 17, 2020, Namjoon went live on the BANGTANTV Youtube channel, something they had never done before. Since the quarantine is being prolonged, BTS wanted to try something new to “stay connected and to share our daily life together […], so we decided to go live once a week to share with you how we are doing.”
And they kept their word: Yoongi started a YouTube live exactly seven days later, telling us he picked up a new hobby and showing us the process of painting, having a chat with us like they always do, answering questions we were curious about and more. A few days later, Hoseok then went live on Youtube, and for an hour we got to see him warm up and lose himself in his beloved dancing. Heartfelt moments like this, when we can witness how much passion and love they put in their work and their hobbies, is both heartwarming and healing for ARMY.
Now that they have more time on their side, BTS has also started to do VLives more often. For example, Namjoon and Jimin went live and made Dalgona coffee while enjoying our company. Namjoon hadn’t realized that they were live and Jimin’s reaction made us laugh for days. They also ended up on Korean TV News!
Yoongi and Taehyung did an FM after a long time, enjoying listening to music and chatting with us.
Hoseok and Namjoon went live together on Apr. 23 and we got to see them joking around with each other, laughing and being artistic! They customized their ARMY Bombs after seeing the fans do so.
Jimin, Yoongi, and Seokjin too did a VLive together and played Just Dance.
We have so much content to bask in, despite our quarantine restrictions!
Regular but still appreciated content
Of course, there’s still Run BTS and Learn Korean with BTS we can count on. Nothing is more rewarding to ARMY than seeing BTS have fun and enjoying themselves (but also achieving goals like 100 episodes of the show.) As Namjoon said at the ending of Run BTS 101 episode, while thanking us and the production team, “ARMY can enjoy the show while we’re doing what we want to do. This is the best show for us.”
Seeing the look of pure delight in their eyes is enough to warm ARMYs’ hearts for a long, long time. We can’t wait to see what else they have in store for us. We can never get enough of them, no matter how many times we get to see them live, or how many times we binge-watch old shows and concerts!
We’ll grow stronger
Knowing that BTS cares so much for us does nothing but fuel our determination to show them our endless love and support.
This time of trial, full of hardships and restrictions, is hard on everyone. Acknowledging that this quarantine is for our well-being doesn’t automatically make it easier to bear. But knowing the strength and resilience of BTS and ARMY’s bond is the motivation we need to act the right way in order to ensure everything works out.
It’s never been a secret how much BTS and ARMY love each other and that we mean as much to them as they mean to us. It’s heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time, but no matter how hard life gets, even when everything wobbles and wavers and our benchmarks tremble on unstable ground, we know BTS will reach out for us, taking our hands and leading us through the dark, just as we will do for them.
Because the bond we share is unbreakable, stable, and solid, ARMY strives to show it to our boys and to stay close to them, even and especially when all we have is each other.
BTS is our source of joy; they’re there to take our minds off things, and our communication is always open and alive. Both parts strive to be better people and we never stop growing together, closer, and stronger.
“I love you more than yesterday, but less than tomorrow.” – Kim Taehyung.
