When I was a thousand years old I had a friend, a childhood friend, her name was Masha. We would just scroll our phones and I have found a picture of a guy with a magical being hair and I showed her the picture and she said oh I know him it’s a Jimin from a BTS so I asked her what is BTS about and then it all started my whole obsession with their music and with their story. It is a kpop music, Korean pop music, it’s a whole new style of music that is playing worldwide but of course it’s more popular in Korean. I listen to them almost every day in every situation because they just can help me with my anxiety with all my overthinking and bad thoughts but I would really like to explain you why I like them so much. Yeah their music is great but it’s not the main reason why I why they’re my beloved ones. Actually it’s more about their stories. I’m fixed in right now so I’ve been watching them rise and fall for my whole life. I saw how difficult it was for them to be to become someone big to became someone that famous but they made it. Their leader always supported them even if it was really hard for Bangtan to perform but now they are worldwide famous and they are number one in all charts in Spotify, in Apple Music and TikTok.

When I was a thousand years old, I had a friend, a childhood friend, her name was Masha. We would just scroll through our phones, and I found a picture of a guy with magical-looking hair. I showed her the picture, and she said, "Oh, I know him; it's Jimin from BTS." So I asked her what BTS was about, and then it all started—my whole obsession with their music and their story. It is K-pop music, Korean pop music; it's a whole new style of music that is playing worldwide, but of course, it's more popular in Korea. I listen to them almost every day in every situation because they help me with my anxiety, with all my overthinking and bad thoughts. But I would really like to explain why I like them so much. Yes, their music is great, but that's not the main reason why they're my beloved ones. Actually, it's more about their stories. I'm fixed on them right now, so I've been watching them rise and fall my whole life. I saw how difficult it was for them to become someone big, to become that famous, but they made it. Their leader always supported them, even when it was really hard for Bangtan to perform. But now they are worldwide famous, and they are number one on all charts—on Spotify, on Apple Music, and TikTok.
