Tidings of Comfort & Joy - A BTS Christmas Story

2020 has inarguably been one of the most challenging years we've experienced collectively. And so, there's a certain sense of relief to see the year edge closer to its end. Before we hurriedly draw the curtains, however, we have a pit stop to make: Christmas! Luckily for ARMY, this means reveling in some more and much welcomed warmth thanks to BTS.


Against the tumultuous background of the pandemic, the Bangtan boys released BE the embodiment of comfort. I guess one could truly call this "Bangtan style."


With Christmas just around the corner, BTS rang in the seasonal spirit this year with a sing-along. While their beautiful voices remind us that "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town," the only thing ARMY has been waiting for all along is simply BTS.



And it didn't quite end there, for yet another gift waited to present itself. ARMYs may or may not have foreseen the future with this one: the one and only Dynamite Holiday Remix, composed of all things disco and Christmas spirit.


Predictably chaotic. Very much on brand. Quite the year-end vibe.


The boys have long since made it their mission to bring forth the tidings of comfort and joy year after year, even before 방탄소년단 made its debut! Accompanied by some hilarious edits, and an unexpected feature from Hitman Bang, welcome to "A Typical Trainee's Christmas"!

This is only the beginning of the heartfelt December vocals and annual chaos that ARMY has come to love.


A Trip Down Memory Lane


In 2013, freshly debuted RM and Jung Kook teamed up with former Big Hit Entertainment artists Jo Kwon, Lim Jeong Hee, and Joo Hee for “Perfect Christmas”. The Christmas Project collaboration also marked the agency's first family release. Additionally, the group released an acapella version of “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town”.


Here, Bangtan's young '95 line made the cold December warm.


Rising stars Jimin and Jung Kook put a Korean twist on Justin Beiber's “Mistletoe”, creating a wonderful Konglish duet aptly named Christmas Day. Brb, putting this on loop.


The Unusual Christmas Celebrations We Find Endearing


Bet you didn't think “Run”, the lead single off BTS' 2015 album The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Pt. 2, would make it to the Christmas list. With Bangtan, always expect the unexpected!



BTS 꿀 FM 06.13 has been active since 2013, and SUGA has been an ace DJ since day one. Whether it's the group's anniversary or a Christmas get together, 꿀 FM 06.13 knows how to set the mood.


꿀 FM 06.13 also does not hesitate to expand its channel - this Christmas Special (Voice Radio) is proof!


How can we talk about Christmas and not mention BTS playing Secret Santa? Here's twenty-eight minutes of a much-needed serotonin boost, courtesy of a Christmas-spirited BTS!



The laughter riot continues with this one! Run BTS! meets Christmas are our favorite specials!



Since time immemorial, pandemic or not, BTS and December festivities have always been a safe haven, a joyful encounter.


Last Christmas, BTS had every ARMY tuned in to their biggest Christmas stage yet. At the 2019 SBS Gayo Daejeon Music Festival, the septet performed a Christmas medley that had us swaying in our seats, singing to our heart's content. Hmmm… what's better than BTS singing Christmas carols all suited up?

What ARMY wants, ARMY gets


A genie, they say, grants you three wishes. December, in its good cheer and angelic vibes, seems far more generous. With three days to go until D-Day, I'll spare the Universe a tiny bit. For…


All I want for Christmas is good health, for both BTS and their ARMY, as well as people worldwide. May our days be brighter, our laughs a little louder, and our hearts a lot lighter.


All I want for Christmas is togetherness.


OT7.


아포방포.


Because… you never walk alone.


All I want for Christmas is undying hope, empathy, and kindness. With BTS leading the path, I'm sure we will find more miracles along the way than we asked for as December never hesitates to carry us to the next chapter.


Life goes on like this again.


We wish you a Merry Christmas, a dashing December & a purple that only knows to love!
