As some of you probably know, ARMY is the fandom name of the K-pop boy group BTS. ARMYs are known for their passionate support to the group as well as their love for purple hearts.
Borahae (I purple you.)
This simple sentence means a lot to the fandom. From what I have gathered, it means that the boys' love for their fans will last for a long time. And when the fans say it to them, it probably means the same.
Thank you to my amazing sponsors. Your support keeps me going.I am not part of the ARMY myself because I am still stuck in my love for Bigbang and Super Junior HAHA.
Anyway, mt sister is so happy about her first BTS album and she asked me to write an article about it.
Of course I cannot go into detail about the album songs since I do not know any of it but I can share with you some information about my ARMY sister.
ARMY background
She became an ARMY because of her friend back in 2017. The song that finally made her a fan was "Fire".
Her first bias was Taehyun but then she switchrd to Yoongi because she and her friend does not want to share the same bias HAHA.
Her bias wrecked is JHope. She likes him because of his smooth dance moves. Also if you do not know what a bias wrecker is, it is the member who makes you rethink who your bias is.
Getting her first album
I told my sisters about noise.cash and encouraged them to join me. But she is the only one who listened at first. I have 3 sisters. Let's assign some pseudonames for them so that I will not always refer to them as sisters.
The eldest will be Manju since she is the one who brought Moshi home. She is the one who shares articles here sometimes. The one after me will be Shira. This is her chosen nickname in read.cash. (You can check out her and my cousin's articles by visiting @Laliaaa ). And finally our youngest will be referred to as Shooky since her bias is Yoongi and Shooky us his equivalent character in BT21.
So Shooky is the first one who believed me and decided to give noise.cash a try. I cannot remember how fast her account grew or how active she was but after a month, she managed to saved up money.
Then a fateful day came, her friend who sells album told her a new one will come in. She tells her friend she is interested and asked me to convert her BCH for her.
I did it and I was the one who transferred the money to her friend since her GCASH was unverified.
All is well and all we have to do is wait. I say we because I was also excited for her. I kept asking her for updates about her order.
Since the origin of the album was overseas, it took quite a while before it reached Shooky's friend. By then, the city we are in is already on lockdown again due to ECQ.
So she was not able to have it shipped. We waited some more until finally the restrictions relaxed a little, and our father was able to get the album from her friend.
The album
She bought the Love Yourself album because it was the one available. She did not want to let the opportunity escapes so she grabbed it.
This is the album then it came to her. Her friend included a lot of unofficial freebies but my sister absolutely adore them.
This is all the freebies with the album in the middle.
I think this is the photobook.
This is the content of the album she bought.
This is included as well.
The tracks
These are the tracks of the album. I also found these tracks on Youtube here. However, it is not from the official account so it is probably a fan sharing the album for those who want to listen to it.
My thoughts
I saw something in this site about what the album is all about.
Loving yourself is the beginning of true love.
This particular sentence caught my attention and I think that it is especially beautiful. I did not listen to the songs but just from seeing that sentence I kinda understood why many people are taken with BTS.
I personally love the simplicity of the design of this album. It looks simple but also pretty. It's like bare but still beautiful.
Anyway, my sister plans to collect more albums in the future so she is doing her best in making noise haha.
