Hey Cheryl! Girl, how are you doing? (I’ll leave a comment for JJ after this) How’s life? How’s physical therapy doing? Did the doctors give you have a time frame on when you’ll be back to breaking hearts and causing chaos? Let me know, I want an update on how you’re doing. 💜☺️

Happy 1 Armyversary💜🥳

Abbie

Awesome idea! Your BTS journey has provided me with all of those words and feelings, it’s been such a pleasure to come down your journey with you. I can’t even remember the date of my armyversary or the date BTS found me.. I know it’s bad all I remember is it was in April of 2019. But happy 1 year Armyversary guys!! Thank you for an incredible year, cannot wait to continue on this journey with you and see what year 2 has in store. Thank you both for making my year that much brighter 💜💜💜💜

Rachel Mint ⁷

So glad you are doing this! Happy anniversary Jared and Jordan I'm so grateful for you 💜 Hoping right into it. I am here with you on this journey since the beginning, I don't remember my J&Janniversary but you only had posted Black Swan reaction so far so it was really early on :) Regarding my ARMYversary I'm not that far ahead, I'm covid era army

Joy Jenkins

Happy anniversary Jared and Jordan! And I mean, you didn’t have to name me specifically in your list but I definitely appreciate it! 💁‍♀️😁 In all seriousness, I’ve just enjoyed watching you both dive deeper into the band and having such insightful conversations that it makes me want to comment! 💜

Christina Phan

Happy 1st Army-versary!!!! I can't believe it's been 1 year already, tbh it doesn't even feel that it's been that long ago since I saw you reacting to Black Swan. Again I truly enjoy your content and reactions. May your both of your life be filled with bora 💜

Liz Torres

Happy Army-versary guys. I can't wait to watch this. You guys are the absolute best my lil' bros and I love you both to pieces. 💜💜

LIBBY WILSON

HAPPY HAPPY ANNIVERSARY WITH ARMY! 🥰🎊🥰🎊🥰🎊 I have been enjoying your reactions and breakdowns of the members videos. They are the most thorough, indepth, and comprehensive reactions on YouTube and Patreon. I've learned a lot from you two and I really do appreciate the time you give to ARMY! I love being one of your Patreons to the point you are family to me. Also, thanks for being loving, caring, and giving back to us. Isn't BTS ARMY THE BEST!!! BORAHEA...OT7💜×7

Abi

Happy Armyversary 💜🙆‍♀️🎉

Viral MajicJ

Happy ARMYversary J&J. It really doesn’t feel like one year since I discovered y’all but I’m glad I did🫶🏾. Y’all deserve everything💕

Indigo Gwen

Happy ARMYversary!!!! You guys are awesome!!!

Les

Absolutely cannot wait for you guys to watch PTD LA. Just overall a great vibe and concert.

Jenna B.

Happy ARMYversary!!! this is such a special video aaahhhhhhhhh. BTS found me on June 24th 2015 and I never looked back! YOU guys found me the day after you posted your initial black swan reaction and once again, I never looked back. so happy to have been here with you guys for a year 💜💜💜

Mel

Happy ARMYversary! I remember watching your first reaction, I think it was on the day it came out. I was so impressed with how in depth you guys went, which is uncommon for a lot of reactors. I'm glad YouTube recommended your video to me that day and that you chose to go down the BTS rabbit hole!

hannah

happy one year armyversary !! you deserve all the success you have been receiving and I enjoy seeing you explore this universe every day, I can't wait for it to continue - I really hope you are able to react to the official ptd concert on disney as this clip of black swan was quite edited and choppy so you weren't quite able to see just how stunning the intro is to black swan and the camerawork involved to create the vision of the swan and the transition between members, hopefully you can react to this soon as the work put into ptd live was insane!!🤍

Maria

Happy ARMYversary J&J! Oh i have to say this as it is the first thing I noticed - when I compare YOU from the first video vs the reaction of your reaction it is so much noticeable the look in your eyes! The warmth in your eyes now vs how serious (and a bit reserved maybe? shocked? surprised?) you looked back then.... I just love this warmness in your eyes when you looked at BTS and your video :) THANK YOU and purple you always to my fav brothers

Julieee

My eyes literally went ⬆️⬇️↖️↗️↙️↘️😂😂 Happy 1st Armyversary, Jared & Jordan! I am happy to have found such awesome reactors like you! Thank you for 1 year of spoiling us. Here’s to year two! 💜💜

Sabrina K

It's crazy how you guys didn't know anythingggg and then boom, now watching back yal have come sooo far! You guys know their whole personalities and how they are individually, DOESN'T IT FEEL SO NICE lollll. Ugh it's nostalgic to think of ones beginning of finding BTS and going through the journey, it's magical.

Selina T

My favorite moments were when you guys reacted to the Busan Concert (particularly save me cuz that’s my fav song lol), Ddaeng, tiny desk, and Let Me Know. I think in those moments, it seemed to me you guys realized BTS are no ordinary group :). I also enjoy it when you guys go on random tangents. Looking forward to when you guys enter the B universe and HYYH era!

Viral MajicJ

Now you gotta watch the whole PTD concert🫢. And can’t wait for y’all to get to The Love Yourself Series album. I really can’t wait to see y’alls reaction to Love Myself:Answer and Paradise😭

Sharon Bagchi ⟭⟬ ⁷

Blue and Gray/Black Swan is my favorite performance from PTD. I cried watching it live during PTD LV both days.

Sarah Park

Happy ARMYversary💜💜💜 still waiting to see ON reaction……..😭😭

A.N.D

this was beautiful guys. also. i believe that the only reason you both think you are “behind on” bts is because of their album discography.. y’all gotta listen to the b-sides oh my. i call them b-side bts for a reason.

A.N.D

i found bts in 2017,(early hs) right when the DNA promotions began; and they performed on the AMA for the first time..i was like oh wow, they’re cute and they can sing & dance?? and the MUSIC good??! i didn’t know atm but i had found a GEM..no, even better a TREASURE CHEST!

J. Ezbet

Happy ARMYversary!! 💜 Y'all haven't seen the Black Swan art film!! Y'all have to watch it!!! They dropped it right before the MV. It's so beautiful!!

katarmy

the songs which i would like to add to the list of truth untold and house of cards is paradise, dimple and pied pieper 💜💜 and yes guys sometimes you can react to funny bts videos or watch jimin making guys question their sexuality or the jimin effect these are some of the funniest videos coz you get to see other reactors reacting to bts 😂

Freek Stap

That was fun! I'm glad you liked my (and others) idea to do this. Happy anniversary! I will be supporting you all the way until your last vid😉

Suga(r)kookie

With you I was there since your first BTS reaction and I'm since 2017 Army. I hadn't even a phone at that time, I always stayed longer in school because I was just watching them after school finished at the school computer room😅 I don't know if this is a good thing but I never listened to music before BTS, I was only reading books all day. I didn't even know who Ariana, Justin Biber, Rihanna were. So BTS was my first music experience besides children songs. You can't understand the dissapointment I felt when I found out that BTS isn't the standard. When I found out that most artists: Don't write their own lyrics, don't produce it by themselves, don't have a leader, no photocards or tons of concept photos, their album is just a CD, they don't talk with fans, their music videos are often boring, always the same genre, not many behind the scenes videos, groups mostly don't love their own membes, no dance, no new album every year or twice a year, have the celebrity syndrom

Hana⁷

Happy anniversary (again)!!! <3 My ARMY anniversary is March 21st as well, and it has been 3 years so far. In the past year, what BTS has given me most was comfort and confidence in myself. What they do for ARMY and this entire world truly is magical.

Happy ARMYversary guys! I am with you since day 1, I saw your Black Swan reaction back then and I was immediatly in love with you :). I instantly loved your personalities and urge to know so much about the band and all around it. And as you said in the video, that you had no idea, how deep this rabbithole will be, I thought that too watching your first video. And here we are one year later and I wait for your new video every time, even if it often means, that I stay up late, because of the time difference (I'm in Germany). But I dont care. Now its again 11.30 pm here and I have to go up to work at 5.30, but I dont care. 💜 I love the idea, that you do the same reaction next year too, would be fun I think. And surely, I will be there, whatever you do then. Borahae 💜💜💜

alondra ortiz

Happy Armyversary!!!💜💜 I’ve noticed how you guys have grown comfortable with us😌! Don’t ever be embarrassed to be yourselves with us :) Along with watching your guy’s reactions, we also enjoy learning how you guys take in what you have reacted to in order to further grow as human beings. Here’s to another year with Jared and Jordan! 🥳💜

Daphne Schaffer

Alright, Okay...I remember. I thought. who are these mellow low-voiced guys that should be hosting a late-night radio show? Seriously! But I decided to follow along to see what you had to say and felt a kindred spirit. The best part for me is the breaking down of the music and lyrics. A song is like reading a book to me. It is filled with emotion and personal experience to be pondered and absorbed if relevant to my situation or to pocket away for a later date when needed. I can never rush through songs just because of the beat, I am always contemplating the reason why lyrics were written because it meant enough to the writer to be delivered in song universally. So I'm glad I hung around, Ddaeng!

Aylaᴿᵖʷᵖ

Oh I should really sleep and save this for tomorrow 😅

shelby🖤

HAPPY ARMYVERSARY!!!! i’m so glad y’all decided to go on this journey with us. it’s been so fun seeing y’all get to know bts and also getting to know y’all as people. i’ve been subscribed from the very first video and have watched every bts reaction since that and will continue to watch them all, even in 50 years lmao. it’s been 7 years (2016) for me as an army and even i still haven’t see everything. i can’t image having to start with this much content. you’re doing a great job keeping up tbh.

bts

What I love most about your reactions is how meticulous you are and how well you explain your feelings to a certain song - as well as your wonderful conversations. What I would like to see more from you moving forward is an album reaction (Dark and Wild) and more reactions that follow a chronological order ❤️

BeTheLight

Happy Amryversary 💜 I've actually been watching you guys since the beginning and I think your doing well. I don't really know of any reactors that go in deep like you two. Borahae

Ashhhh

Happy ARMYversary J & J!!! I first saw BTS when they performed DNA at the AMAs. I came across them multiple times since then through media and award show performances. THEN when the ‘boy with luv ft Halsey’ song came out that’s the one that 🪝ed me! Funny enough, that was the only BTS song i listened to almost everyday. I didn’t start the rabbit hole until months after, gradually, when I started exploring more music. I can say i fell into it however just a few months before you guys posted your first reaction. That black swan reaction propelled me further and I’ve been on this journey ever since. You guys were my first reaction channel and I was so invested. Thanks to you i was able to slow down enough to really get to know the guys, isn’t that crazy?? 🫶🏾💓 Anyhow, i enjoy your reactions so much and this little community we’ve built. I look forward to tues,Thursdays & Saturdays all because of you 🫶🏾 보라해!! 💜

Heather ⁷

Happy anniversary guys been with you from the beginning and been with BTS since I Need U. Watching you two is a breath of fresh air, don't ever change and keep on the chronological order, it's true they have many good songs which are people's favourites but don't give in to temptation keep on the path it is worth it finding hidden gems on each of their albums is the best. I do have one request react to Path/Road it's the hidden track on 2 Cool 4 Skool. 💜💜

Suga(r)kookie

yes you're still talking this slow😂

Sharon

Happy Anniversary! lol I recently just rewatched this.

Yara

Happy armyversary lovely Twins!💜 Please, please, please get to House of Cards and Truth Untold. Please please please please please, just PLEASE. These are both songs that touch your soul no matter the age, gender, culture, etc. Pleeeeeeeeeeease!

Neha

Happy Bangtanversary and Armyversary!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I'm a day 1 J&j bts reaction member. You 2 popped up on my fyp on YT due to my admiration of BTS reaction videos. You both stuck out tho in the sea of videos and reactors. So I followed you to Patreon. (My 1 and only) Your thoroughness, your thirst to learn, grow, your love of r&b hip hop and rap, your realness, and over all good time vibes are my attraction to your content. I've enjoyed your growth. (Confidence and ease) As far as what I'd like to see more of .. Tis simple MORE content. Im no fan of chronological order. I feel its holding your content back. But your / our team here begs to differ. So my suggestion is MORE. Like Jared its about speeding up the content. I absolutely adore you two. To be specific Jordan your thrill and heat for beats and deep lyrics along with your child like ribbing of Jared are pure joy for me. Jared - your fierceness toward good, your love of musical emotion and lyrical notes is a blast to watch. You get lost and take us with you.. Thank you from the deepest darkest light filled part of my heart for what you share weekly. 🖤🌌🌸 look forward to much more in the future. 🎵🎵🖤🖤🌌 I purple you 💫 Ps Im a pandemic Army member. I will be buried and carried into my next life with Bangtan 7 💫💫

JessNunez⁷💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Happy 1 Year ARMYversary J & J 💜 I'm very proud to say I have been with you all since the beginning of your Bangtan Journey! I am a Dynamite era Army and have ABSOLUTELY loved every minute since. It is 1000 percent true that BTS finds you when you need them most and I'm Glad they found you two because just look 👀 that lead me here to you MY TWO FAVORITE TWIN REACTOS! Looking forward to our Journey continuing with my 7+ now 2 more Favorite Guys 🤗 Borahae 💜

Mia Urbanski

Happy armyversary! I'm so happy that you joined BTS army. Your reactions are always teaching me something new. I have been in Army for 8-9 years.

BForehand

Hello, Jordan & Jared...Happy Armyversary💜🎉💜🎊 Just got done watching your reaction video and as usual it was great... I can only imagine what it felt like for you two, watching yourselves 🤪🤪 I started with y'all from the beginning and have been here ever since... I am really enjoying the way you two react and would not change one thing about it... I just had a bday the 12th of this month and for my gift to myself I wanted something that would keep giving year after year so I became an Army Gold Member... I have some catching up to do since I have only been a $5 member and I am enjoying it all... Not only do I enjoy the content you put out about BTS and others but I feel really relaxed when listening to two... You both have soothing voices and y'all keep me at peace... Please stay the two Beautiful Humans that you are💜💜 Borahea 💜💜 P.S. Stay at whatever speed is comfortable for y'all... Please don't ever feel rushed because of Army... We are along for the ride no matter how fast. 💜💜💜💜

RhadAnne

Happy anniversary 2Js!!! I am also thankful I found you as BTS reactors. You and whatyougottosay are the only 2 YT reactors I joined on Patreon. Your genuine love for the boys is enough for me. I love that you are very honest, thorough and I learned a lot from you so thank you. Wow, a year went quickly! Cheers to more years especially looking forward to 2025 when our gents come back.Borahae!!!

Trinda 💜

Happy ARMYversary!!!! You guys reacting to Black Swan was the first video of yours I ever saw, it popped up on my suggested videos the day you uploaded it because my algorithm is full of all things BTS and since that day I've watched all your videos and immediately subscribed the day your patreon went up. I love your reactions and look forward to them every couple of days. I appreciate the fact you love the members as much as I do. They really are amazing and i love when other people appreciate that too. I look forward to the future with you guys and BTS. 😊🤍🖤💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 P.S. Black Swan live is absolutely BREATHTAKING and the camera angles of this performance did not do it justice. I went to PTD Las Vegas Day 4 and when they did Black Swan I was not ok. My heart wanted to burst. It was incredible. 🥹

Aylaᴿᵖʷᵖ

This was awesome.. happy birthday of becoming Army guys!! It’s been a pleasure to discover you a few months after I discovered BTS. You’ve been ahead of me in Army life by 3 months but I consumed so much music , videos and interviews that by the time I found your channel it was going back to rewatch along with you and I’ve so enjoyed it, I didn’t make irl Army friends till quite recently so you’ve been my army community here 💜 this was awesome! I’ve left a comment on YouTube.. I’m excited for this to repeat each year! 😜⭐️💜

Skylar T⁷

Happy Armyversary! I started watching your guys' videos two weeks after your first BTS post and I am so thankful you guys showed up on my YT feed. I've watched your Intro to 7 Members video about 12x. I love watching your shocked faces especially when it comes to the rappers. Whenever I'm in a bad mood I watch it and it lifts me up. I was in a very dark place since covid hit as I had to do strict social distancing due to an immunocompromised family member. The only people I talked to in person for a year were my husband & son, it was difficult to say the least. BTS found me in Jan 2021 and thank goodness they did because they saved my life.

Carla Murphy

Happy Anniversary guys. Can’t believe it has already been 1year. I have been watching since the first video I just knew you guys were something special and I was right! Thanks for all you do. I hope to continue with you for many years to come. I purple you BTS & ARMY Always💜

Carla Murphy

Also I have been with BTS since 2019. They saved me and continue to do so. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

sarah v

happy armyversary 🎉 i just recently found y’all about a week ago, binged all your videos on YouTube and subscribed to your patreon to binge the rest. i can tell this has been an incredible journey so far for you guys and i’m excited to see y’all dive into the rest of bangtan’s world. the best moments are yet to come ~ congrats on your one year! borahae 💜

Laurie Brennan⁷

Rewatching your first reaction confirms to me why you have so many loyal subscribers and Patrons. Right from day 1 you were observant, open minded and respectful. You made some insightful observations right from the jump. I can't even tell you the number of new reactors I have seen say something like "I'm not even into these 9 Chinese guys cause I can't understand a word they are saying" while watching the video without subs. All I can think is "ARMY is going to eat them alive"🤣. Some are still not turning on english subs 3 videos in (after several ARMY have tried to help them in the comments, making it clear they don't read any comments). You, like BTS, always engage with those who support you and it's always appreciated. Happy ARMYversary. Mine was last month..Feb25/20...they found me just before the first lockdowns and man did they get me through these last 3 crazy years. Black Swan PTD was amazing. It was black feather shaped confetti fluttering down during the performance (which I managed to snag a piece of in Vegas). They never miss a detail to make perfection. Thanks for the last year of adding to our BTS happiness.

Biljana Monteleone

Happy happy BTS Anniversary - glad our paths have crossed! Keep enjoying this magical journey. Borahae to all 💜🌎

Lorena Walker

Harper Armyversary! BTS found me in May 2022 and I found y’all not long after that. I love the way you always research everything. Even from this first video you were very open minded. You’re one of 2 patreons I subscribe to and I’m so glad to have found you.

Yay

Happy ARMYversary! 💜

Kecia ⁷

Happy ARMYversary! I feel lucky that I saw this video the day you posted it. I was so impressed! I subscribed immediately. It has been a journey. I'm glad you watched song from PTD. I cried the first time I saw it. I was blessed to have been at Days 1, 2 &3 in LA. It was so beautiful each and every time. I was truly moved by the beauty of it. So here we go into year 2...there is so much to explore that you've barely touched like vocal lines songs and the Japanese songs. I know it will another great year. I PURPLE you!

Jeannie Hicks

I can’t believe it’s been a year since I saw your first BTS reaction, congratulations 🎉🎊, and hope to see you both at a future concert, you won’t regret it at all. I got to see them 3 times, seats in the 3rd level (LA), 1st level off the floor (LV) and silver sound check seats (LV). Maxed out my credit cards but I don’t regret anything and would do it again. 🥰😍. 53 yr old mother of 4 adults (ages 21-28) and a proud member of BTS Army since 2019. Your reactions are superb, deep, and well researched. Once again, congratulations on your 1 year anniversary with BTS. 🥰🤗🎉🎊

DMH

Jared and Jordan I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction as usual. You two are the best reactors I have ever seen. You both are so insightful, intuitive and over all just interesting to watch. So here is my "how I found BTS" story...my daughter started listening to KPop in 2012 and found BTS in July of 2013 a month after they debuted. She instantly fell down the rabbit hole and for two years she watched BTS content regularly. Because she had no friends that liked BTS, she shared every come back with me but I paid them no mind....I like many other people, ignorantly assumed boybands were for kids. One day she found clips of some of BTS's reality shows on youtube...American Hustle life and Go BTS which was their KCon special she begged me to watch them with her...so I said sure...I immediately fell for their humble, loving and silly personalities...that was in 2016. My first BTS comeback was Save Me and I loved it. It's been 7 years and continues to be one of my favorite songs. My daughter and I still love BTS. ...they are the absolute GOAT. I believe they are this generations Michael Jackson, Prince, Elvis Beatles etc. Although ARMY knows BTS's worth, they are grossly underrated, underappreciated, undervalued and underestimated by the general public...chalking them up to being a typical boyband. Glad I found them and you guys as well...thanks for making great content.

W0MANL1KEx SAMIE

Happy ARMYversary to you both🥰 BTS found me on August 30th 2020, I remember because I was watching the MTV VMA pre show and main show for a completely different group actually, a girl group called "Little Mix" who were nominated that night, and at some point I heard this amazing song that caught my attention right away and when I looked at my laptop screen I saw a whole bunch of people doing some insane choreo, some in black clothes, some in white clothes and some in a mixture of the two and somehow I just knew it was the BTS I had been "hearing" about all over social media, and I just HAD to find that song. The MV turned out to be the "ON" Kinetic Manifesto Film, and the rest was history and I've been Army ever since....which brings me to my next point, you both need to react to "ON", both the actual MV and the kinetic manifesto film.

Dani Ellison

Happy Armyversary. I am just a little bit ahead of you on your journey. I was able to see all 4 shows in Vegas and Hobipalooza and I'll see you on the floor in New York. As always still waiting for that Pied Piper reaction.

Rache B

Happy Armyversary guys! Hahaha it was funnier to see you laughing at yourselves! It was all good..I still enjoy watching some of your old reactions to tell you the truth. But you guys, I think you just discovered what Namjoon was saying when he said Army helped him love himself more. I think it's incredible when this human phenomenon happens - that instead of having self-doubt because of others, we learn how amazing we are from other people's perception of us.. and we learn how to love ourselves. Cue BTS Song "Answer: Love Myself" which I bet helped many. It's so good to be amidst a community where this self-love prevails that it can't help but permeate other people's lives. 💜 (*And let's not forget Jin's "Epiphany" my golly, how can you not love yourself hearing that!) I think I've said it before and I'll say it again.. on your BTS journey, whether you choose to do it chronologically or not, you just do YOU guys. I think you may want to jump to some songs more. Just as they always say that "BTS finds you when you need them", I think some songs jump out and find you just when you need it. I found Magic Shop just when I needed it. What could have happened when I resisted that urge to check it out right? Let the other songs find you out of the structured order you try to keep. 😊 Your genuine ❤️ and authenticity is what got us here, not the structure nor your ability to indulge our requests of what to check out next. It's YOUR bts journey. And we're HERE for it. 💜

Miriam Oquendo

I agree with you both...you need to do maybe 2 songs at once. You keep reviewing songs you've already reviewed. There are tons of songs worthy of reviewing. Come on...lets get it! 😁

Johana

HAPPY ARMYVERSARY JARED AND JORDAN 💜💜 I am so grateful that BTS found you a year ago, and that we have this beautiful community. I also discovered BTS around the same time you guys did, and I’ve been a Patreon since August!! I’m glad I found BTS and that I found you guys through BTS as well 💜💜

As I sit here waiting on my washer and dryer to finish their cycles so that I can try and squeeze one more load into the washer before finally going to bed, I watch this video and realize that the 21st is also my ARMYversary. Feb 15th, 2021 I was in a major accident where I was T-Boned on the drivers side. after the initial shock wore off and I took in the damage, I saw my door and how close I had come to being either paralyzed or dead. The near death experience woke me up. After everything that I had gone through in my life I had finally decided to change things for the better. The only problem was that I was trying to fix yrs and yrs worth of damage and depression instantly and it doesnt work that way. I also didnt know where to really start. While dealing with the aftermath of the accident and being out of work, and taking steps to try and work through all the mess that my life had become, I entered another depression spell where I saw no way out. Music has always been the one thing that got me through so many things and my family knows that. my mom just happened to try and help me snap out of it by putting on something different. She put on the Top 100 Global Hits playlist on YT. A lot of the songs are in Hindi or are Bollywood songs, which I just love. While listening, "Dynamite" came on. It was super poppy and I just couldnt get in to it. Next day, same playlist, same song came on and it got stuck in my head. So I decided to see if there was anything else. I went to their YT channel and just clicked a video and let it play. Did that for 2 days until late at night on the 21st of March 2021. Now, to know me is to know that I tend to gravitate to rock music. I grew up on the 80s Metal, and that stayed with me through out my life. That night "Boy In Luv" came on. The growl from V, the rock/ grunge type of feel....I cried. It was exactly what I needed and what I was looking for. That song was the one that made me decide to dive further into the rabbit hole. I didnt even go to sleep that night since I was trying to dive deeper. I averaged about 2 maybe 3 hrs of sleep a day for like 2 straight months just watching content, music videos, everything. While I dont regret it, I probably should have taken it a little slower lol. That was A LOT! Its only been 2 yrs and so much has changed for me in my life becuz of BTS and for my journey. Ive actually wanted yall to react to your first video for some time lol. Im glad yall did. *washers done* I think Ive shared enough. This is long. Yall are awesome. Been continuing this journey since the beginning. Have a good night!

Johana

I really enjoyed experiencing a lot of these BTS content with you guys (sometimes even the first time for me as well) and just seeing your perspective. I love how you guys go so in depth and I learn how to appreciate different aspects of BTS content that I may have missed the first time! Keep up the good work and I’m excited for the future of your journey 💜💜 borahae!

Happy 1st ARMYversary, Jared & Jordan! I was around at first, wandered away, returned, and became a patron, shortly before you started on your "Learn Korean" journey. I love watching reactors such as yourself deep dive into BTS the way I did; it allows me the joy of experiencing some of their songs again for the first time, with fresh ears and a new perspective. I met BTS in October of 2019, via another YT channel where they were discussing IDOL. I loved the song's hook, and the MV was so chaotic and bright that I was immediately intrigued and needed to learn more. I too am into chronological exposure, so I went through every one of their videos in a matter of a week or two. Then I went back and began listening to their albums in the order they were released, in track order as well, because by then I had learned that every album tells a story and each group of albums tells a larger story, and that the entirety is connected together in subtle ways. [This becomes INCREDIBLY important during HYYH!] Things are so connected that even the VCR's at concerts and award shows, hell, even the stages at some of the award shows, are part of the ever-ongoing storyline. As for speeding up: Would you consider listening to "2 Cool 4 Skool" from top to bottom with/for us? I think that would feed the chronological order itch, and the go a bit faster itch, if you did entire albums. The first ones are fairly short as they are mini-albums/EP's. To be clear, I mean very specifically, just listening and sharing your thoughts and feelings after each song, and then afterward, the entire album. It won't be too long, though you /know/ we'll watch it [I sat through 5 hours of mail, guys 🤣] There is so much content that isn't about the guys singing that you'd still have plenty to do as you clear the first 4 albums That would get you up to HYYH, when, if you like twisty turny timey wimey chaos, you'll need to slow back down. I'm not the best person for HYYH, though. I've read and watched everything I could find, and I'm still confused. 😅 Anyhow, that's my idea for going a bit faster, at least for a little while, one ful album listen starting at the beginning, even if you'd heard some ot the songs before. Once again, Happy 1st ARMYversary, -Mac-

Dotty

I honestly think you should do album reviews. If you want to speed up then I think that would be the best thing to do. I think you could start from the beginning and go through the albums in parts. Like listen to the first half of the first album, then the second half. Then the first half of the second album, etc. I don't know how much time you have to be able to pull that off, but you could even listen to like 2 or 3 songs in a video if you couldn't sustain half an album. Idk how the deep dives you guys do would go if you do that though. Maybe you could save those for songs that really hit you while listening or songs that army have praised more than others. Also, my army journey so far: I am a baby army still. I had heard of BTS and k-pop for a couple years but i didn't look into it partly because i know myself. I'm the type of person to really fall deeply into fandoms and i knew with army being as big as it is i would love it so i honestly was trying to keep my time lol. That said i also didn't know if i would like it. I come from a fairly closed minded home and so it has been a struggle trying to break out of the habits my family has gotten me into. BTS has changed my perspective of not only them, not only k-pop, and not only all the abundance of social matters they discuss, but also of the whole world in general. I really wouldn't be where i am mentally without them. I've been an army since June 14th 2022 (Festa dinner day, although i didn't know it happened until like a day or two later lol) and I am so looking forward to my 1 year armyversery too!!!!

Hey guys! I've been here on PATREON for at least 6 months and this is my first comment EVER! BTS found me back in 2019 when I was dealing with depression, anxiety and scared about my future... suddenly the BOY WITH LUV MV appeared as a recommended video and little did I know that just my curiosity seeing those 7 Korean boys would change my life forever. I studied Law in Brazil but I decided to change my whole life, my future, my career inspired by BTS lyrics, words of encouragement, wisdom, talent, dedication etc... And here I am, studying abroad in South Korea with a much better mindset and happier with my life thanks to these 7 angels. They do change lives. Happy 1 year anniversary <3

Happy Anniversary!!!!

Jess Horton

This month makes exactly three years since I fell into the rabbit hole. Next month will be one year subscribed to Jared and Jordan, 11 months. One Year! Hope you guys are celebrating! Now this is how you experience performances in different ways. Black Swan PTD is one of the most breathtaking concepts I have seen from them, however because of the camera angle this clip did not give the full effect. Possible the editor did that for copyright. I’m excited that you will be watching the whole concert at some point because you will experience the intro to the song differently than just now. How to speed things up. Maybe tackle the songs from each album in one video that you have missed. One video for O!RUL82? one for Dark & Wild songs etc. And out of all those songs if its four or five pick one that intrigues you to dig into lyrics and read those of that one song. Then you can hop right into The Most Beautiful Moment in Life 1&2 which includes some of my favorite ballads ‘Love Is Not Over’, ‘Autumn Leaves’ and ‘Outro House of Cards’ (full version is on Young Forever?) Army correct me if I’m wrong. Another year lets gooo!

Shana

This is gonna sound totally cringe worthy, and I hope it's taken in the right context, but I love you guys. I love how you do what you do with BTS content. You know, we don't trust our boys with just anyone. Keep doing what you're doing, and thank you! Happy Bangtanniversary!

“Why soooo serious “? Happy ARMYversary Jared and Jordan! It’s wonderful to see how far you’ve come into your own as you have gone through this journey together and with us. You’re so much more relaxed and playful as well as enthusiastic about each new song discovery (although Jordan you need to liven up a bit. Set Me Free PT 2 seemed a bit tame coming from you. Step up your game man 😁😂). I think I came across your channel around June, 2021 when the YouTube algorithm brought your Black Swan reaction to my attention. I dug into a lot of your content and was intrigued by the intelligent, insightful and informative way you went about each artist you were reacting to as well as the heartbreaking personal story you shared as painful as that was. I was new ARMY of only a couple of months and Black Swan was my second song after ON! I was struggling with some issues and found listening to your soothing voices and discovering beautiful music made those long nights into the wee hours of the morning so much easier to manage. I was all over the place with discovering BTS so I felt that going on the journey with you was the right way to go and still do. You fill in the missing pieces and meeting other ARMYS has helped guide me as well. I upgraded to Gold Tier as soon as you reacted to their cover of Fix You and I feel it has been a wonderful experience. I look forward to each new release of content, whatever it may be so you do you. Set the pace that you feel most comfortable with, I’m along for the ride. I love their “B” sides like House of Cards, The Truth Untold, Louder Than Bombs, Zero O’Clock etc but I know you’ll get to all of them in good time (there’s just so much great music to get to). I love the idea of seeing you reacting to your reaction with a bonus each year but please don’t tell me that your trashy memories made you forget that you saw the PTD performance of Blue and Grey when you did that reaction last September!! Several of us commented that you should have continued the video to see the amazing new choreography for Black Swan at that time. Seriously? Question 🙋‍♀️ How many black and white T-shirts have you gone through in this past year 😂😂? Love you guys 🫶🏻💜💜❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🇨🇦

Cheryl ⁷ Lambert

Hi Joy. I’m okay. Therapy is going very well. I’m about 80% I think so maybe another month. I’ll find out at the end of the month when I have X-rays and see the surgeon for a follow up. I can drive again! I’m not breaking any hearts, that’s J & J’s job 🤔😉 and chaos is your job (I’m your hype woman girlfriend 😁). Thanks so much for asking but how are you doing these days? I hope you’re doing well. Rest up as we’ve got another epic live stream letter/box opening coming up sometime soon. I hope to see you there so we can cause a little trouble. I can’t do it by myself 😉🫶🏻💜🙋‍♀️😁

12th June 2021, I heard Butter in the car on my way to a friends house with my partner, and was really drawn to JK's opening line because of the unique way his voice sounded. I had heard of BTS but didn't know their music so I was kind of excited to be hearing it on the radio. When we got home that evening (after hearing Butter on the radio AGAIN on the way home) me and my partner were interested to hear them in an interview because their English sounded perfect on the track. So we watched car pool karaoke... and that was it for me. I wasn't expecting them to change my life in the way they have. I managed to get through pretty much all of their content over the next year, and boy did I put the work in lol. I saw your black swan reaction as soon as it came out because my algorithms know whats up haha. And I've been with you guys since then. Sadly none of my friends or family care for BTS, no matter how much I try. They just think it's a strange quirk of mine that I'm extremely obsessed with this group at the age of 27, having never been a fan girl in the past. My partner, now fiance, is very supportive though and doesn't even mind the RJ plushie that dons our bed. So it's been so so nice to go on the journey with you. It feels like I finally have someone to share my excitement with, so thank you <3

I listen to bts since 2017 (DNA) but became an army after suga released shadow, this song changed my life

Joy Jenkins

80%! That’s fantastic to hear! I’ll be praying everything looks good with the follow up! Happy to hear you can drive again, I can imagine that’s a relief! ☺️ I’m glad I have such a good hype woman! 💜 The days have been rough, my health goes up and down and hard to predict or fully understand why sometimes. But I’m getting through. They are?! Yes! I’ll definitely be there! Can’t let you cause trouble all by yourself! 😄💜

Joy Jenkins

I’m with you, Cheryl, the way they took the time to understand and dive deeper in such a respectful way totally won me over as well. And they might think they talk slow but like you, I find them soothing and comforting to listen to. 💜

Happy armyversary Jared and Jordan… i wish you would have watched a proper blue and grey - blackswan transition, the one you watched doesnt really do justice on the amazingness of the transition because of camerawork.. there is a much better video of it… but nonetheless.. im happy you made it to 1yr.. more armyversary to come :)

soyaspinsxxx

Bts found me back in 2017, when I stumbled across blood sweat and tears and dope before moving to Seoul, but for some reason, I wasn't able to connect straight away. I remained a casual listener, seeing them grow from afar and only listening to their title tracks on occasion, until a year ago! That's when I came across some of their live performances on YouTube and saw them as the extraordinary performers they are.. MMA 2019 was a big turning point, since I got to listen to their bsides for the first time and realize just how good their music was. Then I got interested in diving deeper into the lyrics, the overarching narratives of their albums, their story and personalities.. and the rest you can imagine! I felt comfortable calling myself ARMY after watching their 2022 FESTA, because I realized that they're the only artists on earth who are fully transparent, vulnerable and open with their fans.. When you get the chance to watch that festa dinner, I think you'll understand 💜 Best of luck cranking up the heat on your journey, hopefully you can get to HYYH and the BU in April! Entering the Bangtan Universe is not nearly as scary as it sounds, I promise! Knowing your propensity to analyze everything, it might be one of the most rewarding journeys for you guys yet!

Happy ARMYversary to my FAVE brothers!! 🥳🎊🎉 I've been here from your very first BTS video, and yes- I will stay until your 50th ARMYversary. Yayyy!! 🙌💜 This is so funny, like you were just on the first ten seconds watching your video, and you're already laughing 😆 The most important thing I noted over the past year was your lighting got really better Lol! 🤭 The PTD concert was reallllyyyy good because they went all out for that, since it's the first concert they had with live audience after the pandemic. So they performed these songs they haven't performed yet in a concert. Jordan was so right about how BTS was so good at capturing emotions when performing. Like that Blue N Grey perf got me crying the first time I watched it. And I didn't even know why I was crying 😭 Thank you for the treat - that Black Swan performance IS EPIC!!! Jared's reaction was my exact reactions that time - I remember it was an online concert when I watched it. And take note, Weverse did not crash that time, coz it was a paid concert. Lol 🤭 And ohhh yazzz! I am down for you to do this every year - watch a reaction of your reaction to a reaction, but yeah add more treats every year please!! 🙌 Ahhh my day is again complete! And I am excited for the week-long ARMYversary celeb with you. Thank you my FAVE brothers for being one of my happy pills, esp that I am currently a military wife, waiting for my baby to come home 😩😭🤧 You two deserve all the love and support you're getting right now, and even more!! Borahaeeee J & J --from your FAVE J 💜💜💜

Happy ARMYversary! I lurked on your first few BTS reaction videos, & also on some of your other content , so I've technically been with you since day 1 of your BTS journey. My ARMYversary is January 15th (2022) when I watched Fake Love for the first time and then immediately said, now what are all their names? I didn't even know that that was the gateway to the rabbit hole & I have been (happily) falling down it ever since. They definitely found me when I needed them and they make me a happier person just by knowing that I share the planet with them. Apobangpo 💜

First of all, happy anniversary Jared and Jordan. My life has only been more enriched by getting to know both of you this past year. I’m proud to be a part of this amazing ARMY family and can’t wait to see what’s in store for us. It was weird and trippy watching you watching yourselves but you were mostly right with your thoughtful and heartfelt first reaction. I became an ARMY in 2018 and BTS has enlightened me and shifted everything in my life in the best way possible. I couldn’t say enough how immensely grateful I am to them. Let’s continue this journey together until who knows when. Borahae! 💜

leat

quadouble Jordan and Jared so weird to look at hehe it´s like a mirror behind you. it matched the blue and grey theme hehe. and i have been here since your verry first reaction i remember checking every day for a new video and i was impatient.

leat

btw did you find a winner for the Suga tickets and i really want to know it it was easy for you to get them and did you say you got floor too? along with the two free tickets?

Natalie

Happy 1 year anniversary! ☺️ Not going to lie, I got emotional watching you guys watch your first ever BTS reaction 😂😭 you two are my fave channel to watch and I can’t believe it’s been a year already! Cheers to a year and many more to come! If BTS are still going in their 70’s, you’re still reacting in your 70’s, I’ll be right here in my 70’s watching your reactions 😂💜 Borahae!

Amiii

HAPPY ARMYVERSARY 🥳🍾 14:22 noted 😉 It‘s funny to see your reaction to your first reaction. You made me laugh. Thanks for making my day a little brighter than it was! It feels a little like Inception to see you now and then on the same screen since you haven’t change much and you wear similar or the same shirts. Your commentary on going back in time kind of reminds me of the film Memento, which I recommend. It‘s a film written and directed by Christopher Nolan and about a man who suffers from anterograde amnesia, resulting in short-term memory loss. He searches for the people who killed his wife. It‘s a film with a non-linear narrative and a reversed time sequence. 14:36 Ouch! Unfortunately, BTS is not played on radio as much as their status and number of supporters would indicate. But I’m sure you know it by now. Here in my country I‘ve heard Dynamite and Boy With Love a few times. Starbucks had also “My Time“ on their playlist when the album MOT 7 came out. You can’t imagine how perplexed I was listening to this b-side in a Starbucks 😆

Lourdes

I discovered BTS in November of 2014, which means I have been an army for almost 9 year. DAMMMMMMM up to Manny more years family !!

Cheryl ⁷ Lambert

Stay strong and know you’re not alone. They haven’t announced when the next one is but it should be within a month. 🫶🏻💜💜🙋‍♀️

Happy 1 year Armyversary Jared and Jordan! I have loved everything about this journey with you guys and so glad you are going to keep going and going! I eagerly wait for Tuesday’s, Thursday’s and Saturday’s and enjoy the reactions you share! Thank you for your time you share with us! Borahae! 💜

I found BTS when covid found me in March 2020. I had never heard of BTS before that but I was mostly into grunge (Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, RHCP) and those two worlds never collided. With nothing to do all day while I was recovering, I watched a lot of youtube and came across an interview the guys were doing at home amongst themselves with RM translating some of it because, if I remember correctly, he was helping V with his English. I was intrigued; and of course there was that ol' rabbit hole with a hand waving me in...and I've been Army ever since. I've been with you guys since the first Dimash video you reacted to and I'm still a dear as well! 💜💜

Butterful

Happy Armyversary!!💜💜🎉🥳

Harley

Oh boy, I can't believe this will be my 6th year with BTS. 2017 was a really low point in my life. I was in my first year in college and had been dealing with a lot of medical issues. I found BTS when I was scrolling around music since I was trying to find something to cheer me up and that's when I heard Blood, Sweat, and Tears and immediately watched all their music videos in a single night. I cried when I watched I Need U, Run, and Spring Day. They've been the one thing I have supported on throughout the hard and good times in my life especially as a young adult. They literally got me through college.

Inamar de Souza

I was so bored during COVID and watched a lot of videos on Youtube, discovered Netflix... As I was 50 years old, BTS and Kpop never crossed my way. So sad. But after going to the cinema for the first time in ages (2021) to watch the movie Eternals with my husband, they mention BTS was going to perform and I felt very curious. I finally found them! It was the right time. Then, I found you. Thank you for this journey!

VancityGal

Happy Armyversary, Guys!!!! I've been here from the beginning and have loved watching your journey. I'm only a little bit ahead of you timeline wise. Black Swan performance was my favorite of PTD! Seeing it in person was truly magical. I will always cherish that experience. True art!

korgi

my first year of being ARMY is also coming up next month and I'm very excited. I'm glad i found you guys i get to share this journey with y'all and i love how y;all take time to really deep dive into every song and really take time to talk about everything about the song and diving into each lyric and talking about what each song means and really building connections with each song. thank you for taking an interest in them and showing them love and respect. not a lot of people take time to really understand the song, they only listen to the song and watch the mv once and say things like "wow this is amazing" and move onto the next song without really caring to understand the song deeply. Thank You.

LizP⁷⁷⁷⁷⁷⁷⁷

I totally agree. I tried to find a link to a better video but I wasn't able to. The only one I could suggest is the actual concert on Disney but who knows how long that'll be when they're able to check it out

Kat

happy armyversary, jared and jordan! i might not be that active but i was there for your first ever bts video and i followed until patreon and followed you on ig as well :) i will resubscribe to army gold tier when i have the capacity again but you’re one of my weekly source of happiness. every time after work once i see notifications that you uploaded a new video, i immediately watch it. it’s my stress reliever! 🫶 i love watching reaction videos because i’m alone most of the time and i feel like i am watching with someone everytime i watch reaction videos. i’m only subscribed to 3 channels reacting to bts, each with a different style and genre in reacting and yours was certainly what i liked the most! you do extensive researches, react to related videos aside from the main video (e.g. music videos) read and feature comments and that is something i never encountered (or rarely). i appreciate all the effort you make and appreciation you have for bts since your first reaction. i’m happy you got agust d tickets and you’re even being generous on the giveaways. i wanted to join but i’m not from the US and wont have any chance to go there that’s why i’m giving the slots to those who really can go there. anyway, thank you very much! i wish you all the best and i will just be here supporting you both always 💗 PS: by the way, PTD LA Day 4 was my favorite since it was when the birthday surprise (moon and heart event) for Jin was made. as jin biased, i was really really happy and thankful for my army friends who participated and spearheaded the events. they’re so lucky to be able to be part of it personally 🥺

Lizbeth Martinez

The Black Swan performance was what made me go down the BTS rabbit hole. My friend invited me to their PTD concert in LA last minute and I said yes even though I knew nothing about them and I’m so glad I did! I was amazed with how beautiful the performance was and how beautiful they all sounded. I loved all the other songs they performed but this one was the one that stood out to me the most. Also this song was the reason I found you guys!!💜 love you guys and thank you for always putting awesome content 💜

Ken

i first watched dope in 2015 but officially became an army in 2016 which is crazy to think about like i finished middle school with bts and i started and graduated highschool with bts and i’m now a sophomore in college and still love bts just as much

Kristin Zuehl

My anniversary was in January-so just a couple of months before yours. Mine started with Epiphany and once I heard that song I was obsessed. I kept thinking “I wonder when this obsession will end?”…but they have captured my heart forever! Strange how 7 young men from Korea have made the life of this 57 year old woman brighter, as well as opening my mind to different types of music (their rap, hip hop, etc). I have been with you since the beginning. I love that you’re thorough and take the extra time to learn what the song is about, not just listening to it. ARMY forever! 🥂 to many more years of reactions! Borahae 💜

Alicia

Happy armyversary! Love your videos! 💜💜💜🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽💜💜💜

Da Lantis

You should just go ahead and watch the entire PTD concert 💜🧡 lol 😆

BTS found me late 2019, I had been watching k dramas for maby a year by then, and I had seen BTS popping up on YouTube and I just new that if I started watching I would get suct in, so I deliberately withhold my self frome it, I felt like I was just too busy for it at the time. Then came the day... I always remember ti's because it involves a priest 🤣 I was watching jolly(a YouTubechannel) and one of ther friends is a priest, he was reacting to Billie eilish and the next video that plays automatically was the same priest reacting to Idol after I watcht that I got a bit curious and clicked the next video witch was the introduction to BTS members. When V was introduced I was all in, I just love his woice + because I had been watching k dramas on Netflix i had recently seen a trailer for Hvarang and i had put it on my list to watch, then when I saw that V was one of the actors I both began to consume bts content and watching Hvarang. Since then I have bin suct dep into the rabbit hole and I am proud to say that I will never ever go back. And one thing that I think BTS has don for me is that I have suddenly started liking rap 🤔 I have never bin much for rap. I lisend to 1 or 2 songs that I like mostly eminem, but never really got into it but after BTS I started to like rap. I lisen too a lot of rapers now, but they are all korean, I think it has something to do with the language, I still don't lisen much to English rap.

Jordyn

It's been a busy week so I'm just now able to sit down and watch. I wanna say congratulations to you both! I remember that first video. I knew from the start that you guys were something special. I feel very grateful to have come across you & for you to have been so open and accepting of army. Guys please go at whatever pace you want. Please don't burn out because what would we do without you. We love you Jared & Jordan. Here's to another year! 💜🥳

Sara

Honestly Letter makes me kind of emotional, every time I listen to this beautiful song my eyes gets teary

Cheryl ⁷ Lambert

Ah I didn’t get a notification for this so I’m just seeing it today (26th). I’ll find you 🫶🏻💜

Happy 1-year Armyversary(sorry I'm a bit late!)! It was really interesting watching you react to yourselves :) BTS found me in 2017 through my teenage son. He was going through some really hard things at the time and was struggling. He was listening to music on his phone and the song Not Today started playing from his "recommended for you" list. He loved it so much that he looked up the video and lyrics. The song's message was just what he needed to hear- that if you fight and stay strong you can survive anything. He played the video for me and that started our journey together as BTS Army. I will always be grateful to BTS for helping my son, and they have helped me so much through the years as well. My son and I travelled across the country to to see the PTD concerts in LA. We were there for day 3 and 4, so we saw that performance of Blue and Grey and Black Swan from the 4th row. It was such an incredible experience that neither one of us will ever forget.

Jaeyi

Congrats! Please stay with us down this road, I'm always looking forward to your videos. It's about to be my 9th anniversary this August!

Donita Polk

Happy ARMYversary Twins!! As I've posted in your other videos, I've been binging all weekend (plus streaming FACE, of course); I'm trying to catch up on my Patreon accounts. This was fun to watch you two watch yourselves, it wasn't too bad, right? Still, go at your own pace! BTS found me through my teenage daughter in 2020 when she was on pandemic confinement at home. My husband and I are both essential workers so our schedules didn't change but she was at home day after day by herself. We have 2 adult offspring but they are out of the house living their lives in other states; so our daughter was alone a lot during school hours from about 10am when my husband leaves for work until I got home every day at about 5:30pm. Thank the Lord she's a good student and an even better kid! But she would practically rush at me for some physical social interaction and of course, I obliged. Her best friend had introduced her to KPop years before but it wasn't until she was bored out of her mind during the pandemic that BTS found her and because I was her main source of social interaction she practically forced BTS on me. 😂😂 She has since apologized, especially since she now thinks I'm obsessed! (She's just a kid though, she doesn't know what she's talking about😅😳☺.) Anyway, she knows my main choice in music is R&B and Gospel but my presets are also set to some classical, easy listening, hip hop, contemporary Christian and soft rock stations as well. I have an eclectic preference and its really whatever fits my mood. So she had me listen to Singularity first (the R&B vibes) and I promise you I thought she was listening to baby-making music and looked up the lyrics right then and there! She showed me Blood, Sweat, and Tears and assured me they were not singing about money; Black Swan and Dynamite and she quizzed me (with a wooden spoon) every day to learn their names, then their voices and because I wanted to know what my daughter was listening to, I took it upon myself to also go through their discography ... yeup, in chronological order, based on what was listed on the Big Hit website. I can't even tell you when I became ARMY or when I was "sold" but in April 2021, I ordered our ARMY bombs and paid for Weverse accounts so that we would be ready when they had their next concert. I wasn't sure when we would get to use our new emblems of BTS love but we were ready. Imagine our delight when BigHit announced PTD! I braved the "Hunger Games" and with my laptop, tablet, and work computer all logged in, got our tickets at SoFi (and I didn't even have to go far); 2 for Day2 (the one with Megan) and 2 for Day4 (the one with Chris Martin). I can't explain it but seeing the Black Swan performance was amazing; I still have black paper feathers in my bag that I refuse to remove!!😂😂😂 So PTD, was our first BTS concert together; my daughter's first ever and I wouldn't change anything about the journey. It solidified our bond and I am grateful to BTS for this experience with her. 💜
