the sight of stars always makes me dream

V - INNER CHILD

Two of my favourite fan-made videos of BTS which i kept in my phone since 2017. Every now and then, when I'm feeling down or empty inside, I would rewatch these two videos. Cause it ignites a warm fuzzy emotion within me, something that is not common in my typical day/life.

Wouldn't claim that I'm a hardcore ARMY, but I have been noticing and following BTS ever since NO MORE DREAM, WE ARE BULLETPROOF, BORN SINGER etc (in 2013). Back then, I was a huge fan of Big Bang, and I couldn't help but notice this rookie group that had so much stage presence on Mnet Countdown, Music Bank etc.

As I went to listen to their whole album, I fell for BONUS TRACK #9 and LET ME KNOW. The group had music that were more Hip Hop, but which lyrics touched on so much reality that youths faced. And they also had music that were softer and sensitive, and also relayed the fragile side of teenagers, as one faces the bitter truths life brings us.

Before I knew it, I fell hard for the group; their teamspirit, their brotherly bond and all the members. It wasn't like the other boy groups then, where I had to memorise each member's name, but more of like a natural growing interest in this group of brothers. And my curiousity was easily fed by all the countless dance practices, and weekly RUN! BTS series that is on V live.
