i always liked kpop! was super into 2nd gen, even witnessed the release of nor more dream but then i felt less intense fandom feelings about kpop for a few years. still, after they came out, i was always listening to i need u and blood sweat and tears. and then in 2019, after the shittiest year of my life lmao, my friend was like YOU NEED TO GET INTO BTS and i was like oh wait i know them! but then i really sat down and /watched/ their mvs, and then couldn’t stop myself from looking up their interviews and bangtan bombs and yeah! considering that I knew about them from the jump, the only thing i know for sure is that the whole “finding bangtan when you really need them” was super true for me bc i didn’t need them in 2013, but i reeeeeally needed them in 2019 ☺️
