Sharing Time

Once upon a time...

We've all heard that magical line. It usually started a fairy tale. It would take us to a wonderful place in a fantasy world.

Stories, we still love them.

Let's imagine we are entering the Magic Shop. We don't really know what we will find. We've never been here before. It's all so very exciting and new. We have entered the world of BTS. This is the beginning of ARMY'S story..........your story. A love story for sure.

We want to hear your story. Don't be shy. Every one's relationship with BTS is a story to be told. Some fell in love with the first song. Some fell in love with the first video. With some, it just took awhile. But, eventually love was inevitable.

This is my story. My journey with BTS was gradual. I didn't know I was going to land down the rabbit hole. I just thought I was listening to new music. It started back in 2011. My very sweet Granddaughter started asking, "Can I listen to KPop?" Me:  "HUH?... What's that? (yes, I'm a noona ARMY) She wasn't into BTS, at first, because she thought they were too young. ( She's the same age as V and Jimin) By the time they debuted, we had been listening to KPop for awhile. We traveled from Arkansas to NYC to attend a KCon. BTS was there but she missed the fan meeting. (Something she regrets to this day) I was still,  just along for the ride. I didn't really know much about them at this time. ( OK, I now, regret not seeing them too😟)  BTS was still very new. My daughter and Granddaughter were both becoming fans. Me? I started listening closer to their music, watching some music videos. Yes, they were very cute. I couldn't tell them apart. Seven members in one group!?..... Isn't that a lot? WOW!! Could they dance!!

Fast forward to 2018, we all have traveled to  Chicago to see them in concert.  Me, just going for the fun of the trip. By now, I know their names. I have a favorite member; well,  maybe two.

I am playing their music on my Alexia speaker. ( Alexia is learning about BTS too😅😂🤣)

When my Granddaughter gets to go to a soundcheck, I'm kinda jealous. I vow that the next time they come to the states I'm going to see them. I can now identify each member by their smiles or eyes. I'm falling HARD. I LOVE IDOL!!! OMG, can I really be in love with seven young men from South Korea?

I will admit that I'm obsessed. I'm living in the rabbit hole of BTS and very, very happy. They make me happy, their music, their beautiful souls,their love for ARMY.

BTS, how do I love thee?

Let me count the ways. (Well, there are too many)

I'll have to leave those for another day 💜

PS.

Oh yes, I saw them four times of the six concerts, in the USA, this year. Still wanting more.......

Please, share with us your story, we're listening...      🌜🦎

This is Admin 🍬🃏(Candy Joker)! This short video was supposed to be a gif, but... 😅 I wanted to showcase Jungkook through the years and how much he has grown up. Actually, I'm only a year younger than him, and even though I've never met him, probably never will, I feel like I grew up with him. All of the BTS members inspire me, but Jungkook has a special meaning to me. Watching him has made me think "Ah, so someone as young as me can do it, I just have to work hard." It's been my code, I've worked harder while watching him. Thank you for existing, for giving me courage, for being yourself. You've grown into a fine man and words can't describe how much I wish to continue seeing you succeeding and being happy. Please always stay healthy, always stay your amazing, lovable self. Let's continue growing together. 💜 Happy Birthday Jeon Jungkook. Even though you may never see this, and even though people may not think much of it, I hope you can feel AMRYs energy all over the world, buzzing and humming with love for you. 생일축하해! • • • • • • • #jungkook #jeonjungkook #kookie #정국 #전정국#bts #bangtan #bangtanboys #bangtansonyeondan #방탄소년단 #정국새일ㅊㅋ #happybirthdayjungkook https://www.instagram.com/p/B11UaQWFav_/?igshid=1x3f48mzwap40

Decided to have a little follow up chat about the awards show that happened last night. Mostly for 2 reasons; one, I was soooo impressed with Twitter ARMY for creating and trending the #Purple Carpet and #BTS video music awards! Secondly, I was just saddened and angered by what happened, in the first place.

    So thunderous applause and many thanks to the tens of thousands of ARMY that, once again, stood up for decency by not watching that disgraceful mess. AND made it fun for ourselves and others online! You were the real winners last night, with all your creativity. Also huge thanks to the ARMY that stood with us and voted, despite what that tv channel says. We know who should've won all the main categories, and we did a great job standing up against intolerance.

    But, we're still faced with the possibility this could happen again. And we must figure out how to make our voices heard, for real change, if it does. I was so angry that they clearly subverted a category we obviously would have won. There's no doubt, in my mind, that BTS were disrespected twice last night. More importantly, what can we do about this in the future, should others try it? S. Korea has a criminal investigation pending for rigged voting on a show, even now. Not to do with BTS but it does happen, everywhere.

   What I'm talking about isn't by going the way of the courts, though, yet. But heading them off before they get there. Hopefully our boycott will have strongly impacted the revenue the advertisers receive from their support of that show. So that would certainly impact future situations. Another option is addressing the advertisers directly, should we need to, in the future. And we did have the entertainment media behind us, as well. It may be an option to utilize that resource more fully, if need be.

   Lastly, not only was I disappointed by an American entertainment company, but I was disappointed by American entertainers. We know the 💲 has reigned supreme for a long time now, not artistry or values. But to see no one stand up against the hypocrisy, and instead fully embrace it, left me angry. There are so many in the entertainment industry who are quick to stand up for a popular trend, why would none of them take the initiative to boycott the show with us? It's definitely something I'll be bringing up and bringing attention to, if we wind up here again. So consider our options, ARMY. We're huge and powerful together. And we can stop injustices. Yes, it's just a music show, but the ideals that were stepped on are big. So we should continue to speak ourselves by speaking against racism and inequality.

   Off the soapbox, for now 😁 Thanks to everyone for all their support this time and let's keep winning with BTS!! ❄👸
