hello everyone this is Henry from Korea
now just days before bts's 10th
anniversary we came to the streets of
Seoul to ask armies if they remember BTS
from 10 years ago and why they hold a
special place in their heart
well if I think about 10 years ago I'm
just imagining now like how much they've
grown as a group because I remember when
they debuted they're like the small
group everyone was hyping them up being
like please support smaller groups from
like smaller companies and just you know
nowadays are like the most famous group
ever so it's like wow I can't imagine
like I was liking these guys before they
were like so big and like seeing me feel
kind of proud like they worked so hard
when I watched their very first music
video no more dream I was like wow
that's very interesting costume choices
because it seemed kind of westernized
which I thought was kind of funny and
even like arms hair was kind of like
different
[Music]
I actually discovered them before they
debuted like I found a YouTube channel
with their like dance practices and like
the freestyle raps like School of tears
and like the other titles I don't
remember but yeah
um I think I was like the one that
founded the fan club in Argentina like I
I created the Facebook page and I was
like managing it and posting news about
them and everything for a few like the
first five years I think I think during
the pandemic that I got into Netflix and
then I got into the kdramas because I
watched everything and then I wanted to
understand the language and then you go
into the K-pop the songs and I was like
oh right you have BTS she was a fan
since 2012 I think yeah so she got me
into Kpop early on and I was like you
should show me some other groups you
know because I knew only three at that
time and she was like well let me show
you BTS so I just heard
um BTS since before covid-19 and I just
saw the the video on the YouTube and we
just very impressed of them
I think the dancing I really I really
like their dancing and I was surprised
how they couldn't move so much while
singing because I yeah I watched save me
and then mic drop I think that was
convincing uh was a cool concept with
the mvs you know it was very deep people
were theorizing we were reading like
psychology books it was very very deep
and that made it exciting for me
oftentimes see like the meme on like
social media where it says I just wanted
to know their names yeah and then
just go right into the the dark hole
that is BTS and Army and you don't get
out
like how they appreciate Soul like in
South Korea like very big like
ambassadors it is really respectable
like how far they have come and like you
can see that they had to sacrifice a lot
of things a lot of like free time a lot
of like they put a lot of work into what
they do I feel like we are bonded in
some way like a more friendship familiar
Bond yeah with armies and just
like Idol and fam yeah it's a very
strong relationship
foreign
one of the projects we did like it was
really early on um basically another fun
Club they had a book and the project was
like uh have a book travel around the
world and the different fan clubs from
like different countries like would sign
them and then like we would deliver it
to the next country and so on and so on
and then finally it got delivered to
like big hits before it was Hive and if
they actually got it so yeah that was
really iconic I think I went to their
concerts
um I went to LA I did skip class but
it's okay my teachers my teachers
understood because one of them were an
army too so I was like perfect you get
it my mom is an army so we actually when
we went to Vegas that was the first time
my mom could see BTS in person too so I
think that was very much like a bonding
moment for me and my mom so I was in
town square on 2019 right and I had to
sit there about 12 hours and it's like
BTS is also rehearsal on the state so
I'm just only here then but it's okay in
2019 while they were doing love yourself
yeah I went to see them and I believe
I'm not sure you know that's my
delusional moment but like Gene was
standing in front of me and she was
waving at us
foreign
I actually I always wanted to get the
magic shop part that's on the album I
always wanted to get that tattooed
because it's like a simple but like if
you know you know kind of tattoo so um I
got that tattoo while I was actually
studying abroad here in Korea
um yeah and I got it on my ribs I live
in Italy but I went to France to see
them when I was only 17. then I started
studying Korean at University and also I
saw them at the airport
[Music]
um I had a very bad period in my life
when I was feeling very alone and I
suffered from depression and they helped
me a lot even if they are not with me in
person they know how to comfort me it's
like having them behind me and saying
it's it's okay it's not gonna be like
that forever so make me feel like I'm
listening to my friends like like I have
more friends like seven friends it's a
very positive image for me and then make
me want to learn dancing and then
speak uh career that means everything to
me they can heal my heart every day I
need to wash them before night it's a
routine
[Music]
I just hope that they all get through
military safely Army will definitely
still be supporting them and the fandom
probably grew 10 times more so and then
I hope that they can perform and to be
seven together as a BTS for like the
next 10 20 years I will follow them for
sure I want them to be healthy and
relaxed with us like we are here and we
will wait for for them so we're not
going anywhere yeah
