hi thank you!!!

i stan bts too! since when do you follow them?

since about 2015ish, i vaguely followed them during hyyh era but learnt their names and stuff when fire came out in 2016 wbu?

wow, i would've loved to be there for hyyh! it's my favorite era
i started to learn their names when BE came out, but knew about them since MOTS: Persona because of my other ARMY friends

Ahhh persona was such a lovely happy era!
Hyyh is so good, my fave era is wings though, it was so perfect to me

What do you love the most about WINGS era?

It was the moment where I discovered every single member had something about them, because they each had a solo so I learnt something new about each of them. I also loved the short films, and overall how the themes were about temptation and there was a lot of religious imagery - I loooove temptation/religion as a theme! Are the hyyh/young forever albums your favourite?

There's so much to be interpreted just from the MV (especially with all the art), it's a masterpiece 🥹 If you love religious imagery, is your favorite song on the album Stigma? I feel like it's the most obvious demonstration of that theme. I wouldn't say they are my favorite in terms of music - Dark & Wild owns that spot - but concept wise they are. But even with the music, this trilogy is probably the one that brings out the most emotions out of me. I am a nostalgic at heart haha, it always feel like looking back at yourself post-teen years except i'm still well into my teenage years.

YES stigma and lie are my faves!! I also find that Lie always appeals to non-kpop fans as well, it's gorgeous. I do love how symbolic Wings all is, I could go on for hours about how much I love it (and I have to some people 😂).
Ahh so you like the hip hop stuff the most? Yeah dark & wild is a classic.
Ahh I felt that I'm also so nostalgic, so the Wings album brings me back to Autumn 2016 every time 🥺 do you have an album that's like that, super special to you and tied with memories?

Don't worry about talking for hours because I'll admit proudly that I've written a few paragraphs about my love for Lie! I played classical music before, so of course I'm love with the instrumental. It used to be my favorite out of all of BTS' songs, and it still holds a special place in my heart. I like their hip-hop stuff, but I also think it's their most developped record. Every songs follow each other well while keeping an individuality and uniqueness. They really put all their work in their emo era 😭 Mine is not really an album, it's their dynamite single. I was not in the best place during the pandemic, but each time I recall back to happy moments in those years I think of Dynamite. Lots of people bash the song, but it's really what I needed to cheer up at the time!

Oh cool which instrument? Yeah Lie is still one of my fave songs of theirs for sure, it still blows me away every time. Awww nice! Yeah so many people say they think dynamite was low effort or a step down, but it really made so many people happy - why do people not like fun 😭😭 I'm glad it helped you 💗
