What are you passionate about?

Every time I see BTS or listen to their music, I can’t help but smile. Their happiness and enjoyment radiate through the screen and speakers, instantly lifting my spirits. BTS is more than just a band; they are relatable and goofy, making me feel a close kinship with each member. Watching their interactions, I see pieces of myself in them.
Their songs resonate deeply with me. They sing about lost dreams, unfulfilled hopes, societal expectations, stress, unfulfilled longing, life, dreams, and love. For example, in “Spring Day,” they express the pain of waiting and the hope for better times. In “Paradise,” they remind us that it’s okay not to have dreams, challenging societal pressures to always have everything figured out. Their playful side shines in songs like “Go Go,” where they humorously critique the materialism and pressures of modern life, reflecting our own experiences and making fun of the ARMY (BTS fans) lifestyle.
BTS’s connection with ARMY is genuine and heartfelt. In their livestreams, they share their moments of joy and sadness, creating an intimate bond with their fans. Their openness about their struggles, like in “The Truth Untold” and “Epiphany,” where they share personal stories of vulnerability and self-acceptance, teaches us valuable life lessons.
Namjoon, in particular, has expressed their selflessness, stating that they want us to use them in a way that makes us happy. They go above and beyond in everything they do, always striving to bring joy into our lives. BTS is like that best friend who walks beside you, rain or shine, always trying their best to make you happy.
Since 2013, their presence in my life has brought immense joy and happiness. It’s a symbiotic relationship—we feed off each other’s love and happiness. As they sing in “Magic Shop,” they created a space where we can find comfort and solace: “You gave me the best of me, so you’ll give you the best of you.”
BTS is my magic shop, a place where I can escape from the pressures of life and find healing. Their music, messages, and presence transform even the hardest days into something bearable. Through their journey and music, BTS has not only provided me with countless moments of euphoria but has also taught me to embrace life with all its ups and downs, knowing that I’m never alone.
