BTS came from a small company, they started with nothing.
Jin who was casted just because of his looks
Suga who left his whole family and gambled his education just to be what he really wanted to be
Namjoon who was never supported by his parents
Jimin whosaw himself as ugly and fat
Taehyung who was always a part of BTS but was never showed in any promotions - not until their debut at least
Hoseok who seemed to always laugh but never felt he was an accomplishment to his father
And Jungkook who was very shy and saved his parents at a young age by auditioning to kpop companies
Remember the days when they were struggling? They even had to sacrifice the things most important to them just so they could eat. They were squeezing themselves into one small apartment and had to take responsibility of things at such a young age- the reason why they wrote the song ‘Move’.
Those times when Jimin had to starve himself just because he didn’t meet people’s expectations, and they called him ‘fat’ and ‘ugly’.
That one interview where Yoongi said that ‘it was nice that people listen to their music because Taehyung and Jungkook are good looking’, and he felt that it was at least enough.
Do you remember when Hoseok was supposed to be the vocalist and Taehyung the rapper, but he chose to rap instead and learn it because Taehyung wanted to be the vocalist. It was Taehyung’s dream and Hoseok loves his donsaeng so much that he would sacrifice it.
Other fanbases were accusing them for plagiarism just because they had the smallest detail in their music that just so happened to be the same as other big Kpop groups music. There was a time when Yoongi packed 300 gifts and letters just to give to their 300 fans who will attend their mini fan meetings. So why do people judge them so quickly?
Did you know that Jimin travelled all the way from Busan to Seoul to pursue his dream? Did you know that Taehyung lived with his grandma for most of his childhood, away from his parents? Did you know that Jungkook set aside his embarrassment just to meet the others’ expectations? Yes, he is the Golden Maknae, but he suffers as well when he sees his hyungs having a hard time. Sometimes he’ll even cry. And there was a time when Jimin caught him crying, and the reason was because he missed his family. Jungkook often cries secretly, so that his hyungs won’t have to worry about him. Did you know that Jin auditioned to make his mother proud of him? To give her something to brag about to her friends? He worked so hard on his vocals yet people still call him talentless. Did you know that Namjoon worked hard just to produce songs yet there was a time when his mother ruined his computer and mic so he could focus on studying? Did you know Hoseok auditioned because he wanted his father to be proud of him? Because he felt he was a disappointment?
Those rookie days where they only listened to the awardings and be amazed at their seniors. They couldn’t do anything but watch those idols who received the awards. They were contented.
And now they’ve reached the top, and become successful as well. From only 150 fans to 6 million and counting. From a small practice room to a bigger one. From a cramped dorm with roommates to a big one where they each have their own rooms. They’ve even one on BBMA’s. BTS never expected this before their fourth year anniversary, they’ve come so far - so far that the only chance we have to see them is at one of their concert. We will never be able to meet them on the streets of Seoul.
But really ARMY!! We’ve come this far, let’s continue to love them and give them all our support till the very end. I love you, BTS. Let’s stay together. If you believe in what I’ve said. If you believe in 1!2!3! A true ARMY shall spread.
