Path To Purple: Becoming ARMY
As new fans of BTS, we decided to document and share our journey to get to know the group better. We are taking a deep dive into their music, album by album, looking at the lyrics and discussing the themes and messages of the songs. We are also going to watch their variety show, Run BTS! to get to know their individual personalities.
