Perhaps during BTS's 10-year career, their greatest achievements are not trophies, records or achievements. What BTS is always looking for is a way to save wounded hearts and convey a message of love to everyone.
With this ideal, through music, BTS has truly saved many lives and lit up hope for many who have been ȟɥȑț or poor. ARMY below is a similar case when BTS and SUGA warmed her heart during the days when she wanted to leave the world the most.
Now, looking back at the past and at a time when she had to temporarily separate from Suga during the 2 years he was in the army, she wrote a letter expressing her feelings. Her story also inspired many other fans:
We all agree that BTS is the most different Kpop group compared to other groups. It does not lie in the outstanding achievements or brilliant successes they achieved but in the nature of the group and their musical thinking.
For BTS, music is to express faith, hope and encourage love. During the past 10 years, BTS's compositions have always aimed to spread these good, positive things and make everyone vibrate because of those meanings. That is also the reason why BTS's music is loved and spread all over the world.
Along with that, the members themselves always propagate and mention the theme "Love myself, love yourself" as a guideline. BTS wishes that everyone appreciates what they have, loves themselves, and takes steps toward their dreams through pa̾s̾sionate love. Also with this ideal, BTS themselves have awakened the life instincts of many young people around the world, including a fan with special circumstances below.
Specifically, on this day when SUGA enlisted, an ARMY posted an article on Twitter thanking him. The article recounts the journey that thanks to BTS and SUGA, a young girl regained her life and now it's time for her to use the love she received from BTS to spread a good message to others in difficult situations.
The article shared from the account @ohmegoodness25 is as follows:
"Today feels like the right time for me to talk about Yoongi. Honestly I’ve put this off a bit because I have too much to say & yet I’m not sure how to say it. So forgive whatever follows here. And TW ahead, because to talk about Yoongi, I need to share my story.
I’m 35 years old. I came from an impoverished home with an abusive parent. When I was 16, I tried to put an end to myself. Years of therapy, medication, and a diagnosis of anxiety, depression, trauma, panic disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder followed in the gap to today. One thing I was never able to do was get better for myself. Over the years, I could focus on a motivation. My mom. My friends. Those who stood by me. I would get better for them. And I did, somewhat.
Then I found BTS during ĆØVƗĐ. And I had som̾e̾t̾h ̾ing new to get better for. Their music helped me, and I had som̾e̾t̾h ̾ing to latch onto.
Fast forward to this year, and DDAY. I listened through the album, then looked at translations, and obsessively repeated it. And I ℓσѕт it. I bawled my eyes out, I let emotions completely take over, and I realized som̾e̾t̾h ̾ing for the first time in my life. Thanks to Yoongi sharing his journey to open that door, I didn’t want to get better BECAUSE of the music or him, I wanted to get better BECAUSE OF ME. He gave me som̾e̾t̾h ̾ing so powerful and life altering by baring his soul as he did. And I have been getting better. For myself. My recovery isn’t his due or responsibility, but he so wonderfully gave me a tool and perspective I never had.
So here I am, filled with gratitude for him, for BTS, for everyone in my life. And I’ll continue getting better. Not for you, for me. Everything will be okay. And I will always try to be positive and kind (not always because I’m human) to be the person I wish I had before in my life.
“Snooze” was written thinking of his juniors, but I hope Yoongi knows that for all of us who work to get better, to feel that extreme tiredness of life, to want to reach even the most basic dreams - his words are our hearts.
If you so wish, I would love to see your story with Yoongi as well. I know this is third member I’ve done this with, and I promise I’ll get to all seven. Thanks for reading this, if you did. Vulnerability isn’t easy, but Yoongi showed me how and now I want to do it for others too."
After the article was shared, she received a lot of attention from other fellow ARMYs and helped them open up about their own difficult stories:
- You’re truly inspiring. I am 33 yo, I’m struggling with stage 4 endometriosis (+ depression a few years back when I found BTS). Yoongi helped me so much the past few months. D-Day saved me.
- This was so beautifully said! I grew up in a similar way, eventually becoming an orphan no idea what family was. It wasn't until BTS that I learned I was enough. I am my own family and can curate who I choose to call my family. Yoongis words always нιт home like no one else.
- I grew up in the foster care system. Dr*g addicted mother who abandoned me at 3 and left me alone for days. I was in probably 100 foster homes. Physical and SA abus3. Hated people , the world and myself. Tried su1cide and wanted to give up on everything. I had a baby at 16. And worked hard for him. But all the way suffered in silence. Still do to a point. I have PTSD, OCD and bad social anxiety and body dysm0rphia. But BTS found me . My daughter was a fan but being a metal head i hated k pop. Umm i still don’t like it lol. But suga that man has given me courage, a bit of confidence and som̾e̾t̾h ̾ing to love other than my kiddos. Hes the light to my darkness. Listening to his music release’s those emotions i try and suppress. Its a release of negative energy. He made me feel things again
- I’m so proud of you for choosing you! I have spent most of my 38 years trying to heal from the abandonment of my father, SA, ED, anxiety. It’s continuous work on one’s self but man how powerful to walk through the door! I can’t explain what his music means to me but I’m grateful
- Im sorry meg idk how to make it better with words but as tears down my face as i read this i felt you... i felt you in a way i can only ever relate to army.. your story is literally so inspiring you did so well and im so proud of you.... im not lying i literally cried reading
- It's true When i also read snooze lyrics i cried so much. Bcz it felt true that atleast someone will be there at the end. And it's going to be okay. I want to thank yoongi soo much. I ℓσѕт myself this year but i want to work on what i gave up on. And be proud of myself as well
- I just turned 50. BTS found me just before my 49th birthday. Better late than never, because let me tell you, I truly needed them. Bangtan and Army have been so healing for me. There is a story brewing, but as with others, I too, get over emotional and the words don't come.
- I am proud of you. Your words struck me a lot bc i also have similar experience with bts. When i was in the lowest point of my life, i discovered bts and when i listened to magic shop, they truly gave me a new perspective to life.
- I come from a emotionally abusive family, and lets just say by the time i was 20 i had ℓσѕт all hope to live or continue life. In covid bts found me and slowly i started to live again. All bangtan members are helping me in my heal journey. Especially Namgi
- Witnessing Yoongi's journey just resonates with your soul especially when you've been through a long haul battle with this type of darkness and heavy weight like you and I have. Amygdala particularly нιт home with me. Im so glad we had him and the other members as a light.
- Thank you for sharing your story. We'll live better days and continue to be the better versions of ourselves so when 2025 comes, we can tell our OT7 that we also worked on ourselves - som̾e̾t̾h ̾ing we'll all be proud of.
