“when i think about it, it makes me wonder, “how did the seven of us come together?” it’s not simply a matter of us spending a long time together. in a way, i think we were destined to meet…i think it was fate.” - jhs
when someone asks “why bts?”, i’ve always gotten a little flustered and am not always sure what to say. not because i can’t think of reasons, but because i’ve essentially just been asked on the spot to open my heart and write a novel about its contents, to summarise them into words that are inadequate representations of those feelings. they don’t know that when they ask, of course. to them, it’s a simple question with a simple answer, because if you don’t know bangtan, you don’t understand the complexity and depth, or know that they are anything but simple. the reasons i, and all of us, love bangtan, aren’t easy to pick out as individual traits because they are all so interwoven with one another: they live their art and their art is wholly and entirely them, and they paint us into this picture of who they are and what they dream about, and we become them and they become us, and we feel as if we were meant to be there all along, like a family. in a lot of cases we answer “why bts?” with something like “because of the music”, “because they make me laugh”, “because of their bond”, but in reality the answer is all of the reasons why saying any of these things never quite feels like enough. bts, you deserve all the world and more. happy seven years, babies!
