Your BTS story

We had a kpop MV watching session with my apartmentmates, and we were going through all the "B" boy groups (B1A4, BtoB, Block B, etc). At the time I kind of looked down on all the "B" groups for being the same and being rookies(by my standards lol)/not popular enough - what a fool I was - and we watched Boy in Luv. I remember one friend kept saying how handsome all of them were, but for some reason I thought all of them looked the same, and like any other boy group. Oh, how wrong I was. Forgive me kpop based gods. I really liked the song though, but because at the time I wasn't into kpop (mostly only kdramas), I didn't pay attention to them. Beginning of 2015 I made a lot of kpop loving friends in college and got into B1A4 because a member was in a drama I liked. In April Bigbang and BTS made a comeback at about the same time, and after watching Loser and Bae Bae, I thought "why not", and watched I Need U, which, surprisingly for me, was a MUCH better release than Bigbangs. When the Original ver. came out I cried my eyes out, and I didn't even like them or know about them then. I Need U still tugs at my heartstrings like no other, it is truly a beautiful piece of art. I wish I could say it's my favorite song, but I can't. Hold me Tight, I Like It, Just one Day, Tomorrow, all their title tracks, the list goes on. I get a major hit of feels every time I listen to these songs. Currently my favorite is Outro: Love is Not Over (Jungkook my bby), but Butterfly is threatening to take its place. In my experience every non-BTS fan I talked to has a hard time differentiating them, and at the beginning I was no exception. It all started when I watched their elevator prank video aaand... went off the deep end. Their Bangtan Bombs never fail to crack me up (N.O trot ver is just pure gold and I have a mission to show it to every person alive). They're handsome, they're cute, they're dance and rap gods, they're quick-witted and hilarious af. Jin was my bias at the beginning because of how handsome he was, but as I found out more about their personalities Jungkook caught my eye because of how cool and manly he was for a maknae lol. His voice is amazing and personally, he's the most handsome idol in the current kpop scene, along with V. Obviously very subjective lol, but ever since I went off the deep end of kpop and started considering myself kpop trash, this is what a firmly believe. They, as well as all of BTS, look naturally beautiful and not-plastic (if you know what I mean) like many supposedly good-looking idols do. Jungkook is my ultimate bae, although Jimin wrecks my bias every second of every day. I don't even know anymore.... Anyways, as an ex-B1A4 stan I was in heaven for having soooo much content to go through. The con is that at the end, you find out there is no escape. Sometimes I wish there was lol. At TRB in LA I burst into tears the moment I saw them. They are everything and a million times more than what seem on screen.
