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.

The guys head back to the soop after a few days of work in Seoul. Upon their return, they jump right into things, making lunch and settling in like they never left. From tiny Jimin in the canoe to a long overdue heart-to-heart between Jungkook and Taehyung, we are back to relaxing with BTS in the soop!
From Jungkook’s insane vocals, Taehyung’s silly antics, Jimin’s body rolls, j-hope’s commanding stage presence, SUGA’s beautiful smile, Jin’s gorgeous visuals, and RM’s cuteness aggression towards ARMY, I’d say LA Day 3 was quite the experience! Join us as we recap our last show of the BTS Arirang World Tour…for now…
Until next time, Bangtan!

It's May 2020 and the world is at a stand-still. Restless and wanting something to share with ARMY, the guys take a vacation at a rental property in the mountains to relax, do activities they've been too busy to do, and spend time with each other. In this episode, we discuss their arrival and day 1 shenanigans. So relax with us and BTS, in the soop!

We spent ARMY Day at the happiest place on earth - DISNEYLAND! Big shout out to @boralandday on Instagram for coordinating this annual event. We had so much fun being at Disneyland with so many ARMY. We definitely think this will be an annual celebration for us. If you were there, we hope you had a blast too! If you missed it this year, there's always next year...we hope to see you there!
So we realized we never actually introduced the group to you. As we wrap up our discussions of their group albums and begin our dive into their solo projects, we figured now would be a good time to talk about who BTS is and how they became the global phenomenon that they are. This isn't the best guide to BTS but its our guide!
Chaos level = 1000! The competition is heavy. $1,400,000 won is at stake. No one can be trusted! One thing we realized watching this episode is how these guys, who call themselves family, will easily lie to each other. All in love but definitely every man for himself! Tune in and laugh out loud because laughter is inevitable.
We watched Food Guest parts 1 & 2 and had so much fun watching the guys compete for food. With MC Jin, the guys split into two teams and played a variety of games. Tensions were high as one team seemed to be doomed to fail, overpowered by the other team. But in a sudden act of pity that turned the tables, we saw an epic comeback! Would it hold them enough to evade the punishment?
Where do we even begin? This album is so incredible that it's hard to believe it's for a mobile game! We had so much fun listening to this album and discussing the songs that BTS were a part of. Whether you're into mobile games or not, this soundtrack is DEFINITELY worth a listen.
This weekend, the BTS members each released a log for FESTA! We watched them and now we're going to talk about them. Each log was 6 minutes and 13 seconds, for their anniversary, giving us a small glimpse into their day off and what they do in their down time while on tour.
All the planning, the anticipation - SO WORTH IT! We saw D3 and D4 in Vegas and had the time of our lives! Our first OT7 concert and we are already sad it's over. But first, we share our experience with you. So tune in as we talk about conquering the merch line, handing out freebies for the first time, and witnessing the wonder that is a BTS concert...twice!
We're back with part 2 of our BTS Dalbang recap, covering episodes 75 and 76. The guys finish filming their flashback scenes and we end episode 76 by watching the full drama! All in all, they did a great job and we loved watching them act. Check out our recap episode then go watch the Rn BTS! episodes for yourself!
Hey Everyone! We are recapping an exciting 4-part episode of Run BTS! - BTS Dalbang! In Part 1, we'll cover episodes 73 and 74, where the guys "audition" by recreating scenes from popular dramas and learn their roles for creating their very own drama! So tune in and laugh with us as we recall the moments that made us love them even more!
Hi Everyone! We decided to go off-schedule for a bit because we just can't get over ARIRANG! With the tour going on and these surprise songs devastating most of us, we decided to talk about it. So today, we're chatting about our concert prep and anticipation as well as discussing the songs we hope to hear and mourning the ones we lost already. Get your ARMY Bomb and join the chat! Let us know what songs you want to see and which on...
We are back with part 2 of the Run BTS! episodes 69-72. We are concluding their trip to Toronto and summarizing their mafia game, which Christen was surprised to realize was actually the first time they played mafia on Run BTS!
