#arMay D2: Your first bias
I watched this video for research, and it's what made me go from being a new fan of BTS' music to a fan of #BTS. They love each other so much. 🥺
Anyway, this was the moment I got my first ever kpop bias. Look how proud he was of that kid.

#arMay D7: Favourite magazine shoot
I'm trying to be ot7 for this challenge, but I'd be lying if I didn't say this one.
#arMay D8: Favourite ep of Run
I can't decide. I pick them all!
Here are three off the top of my head -

#bts #arMay D9: Favourite album
Okay but @brie these questions are too hard.
So, by 'concentration of ult-favourite songs' it's LY:Tear.
If we're talking 'complete and cohesive album' though, that would be Dark & Wild.
And then BE is important for sentimental reasons because it was my first cb, and everything was a lot, and I really wanted to buy the album but couldn't afford it cos I'd just been fired, but then my ex-teammates gifted me a bunch of tokens and suddenly I could buy it, and it became the first item on my BTS shelf.

#arMay D10: Favourite solo project
🧍♀️ Oh my. What on earth could it possibly be...
#arMay D11: Favourite BTS meme
Hm. My meme game is poor, but I do have this one saved on my phone.
#arMay D12: Favourite collab
Technically it's Lauv's Who, but I shared that recently, so have Jungkook's collab with an award-winning producer instead. 😃

#arMay D14: Favourite fan creator
1. For occasional emotionally draining but comedic genius, Sharleena on ao3.
2. For everyday uplifting cuteness, anelderlymeme on Tiktok/Insta.
anelderlymeme is also v vocal against genocide, which you'd think would be a low bar but somehow still deserves a mention.

#arMay D16: Favourite lyrics
Oh, loads, obvs.
Since Kev already mentioned Hobi's verse in Dis-ease I'm choosing Rain. Just Rain in general. I love it all.
#arMay D17: Favourite things about Jin.
😭
In this essay I will...
Actually though, it's his moral compass and related kindness. He's the Bangtan glue, always happy to speak truth to power, he raised Jungkook so well and imo is the reason none of the maknaes ever went off the rails despite all the pressures on them.
He's the greatest.
#arMay D19: Favourite things about Yoongi
His watchful generosity.
The way every 6 months or so a new off-camera story about him emerges in the press and it's always something like 'he took a colleague to hospital, stayed with him all night and then paid his bill' or 'he walked into a practice studio full of exhausted trainees, dropped a bag of fried chicken on a table and walked out again without saying anything'.
#arMay D22: Favourite things about Taehyung
His magical mystical brain. He's such a clever bean, even if, I suspect, he doesn't think so. Protecc this lil leftfield thinker!
#arMay D24: Favourite member dynamics
I mean there are no bad ones, let's be real here. Jin and his smol son? The Koobi cuddle crew?
But, of course, I shall go with these besties here. Everything they do makes me happy. Two peas in an earnest, sarcastic and socially anxious pod. 😍
#arMay D25: Favourite look
#arMay D26: Favourite hair colour
I do like when everyone has dark hair tbh. But also...
#arMay D27: Favourite memory related to ARMY
Hm. I see you armys as a sort of sparkly comfort blanket who variously provide solidarity and validation, hilarity and entertainment every day. So I don't really have one favourite memory. One thing I loved was our weekly excitement as we counted down to and watched the next ep. of Run. I hope we get that again. 🥺
I don't know any irl armys and I haven't seen BTS live, BUT one time I met up with a twitter army friend to go see Epik High in London and that was ace. Every so often one or other of us has a 'Wait! We saw actual EH live?!' moment.
So to conclude, maybe my favourite BTS ARMY memory is of Epik High...?

#arMay D29: Dream comeback concept
As with the pc question, I'm kind of a rubbish kpop fan because concepts pass me by.
I often think about how important Yoongi's tour was though, in terms of showing them all they could just *be*.
Man's out there shibal-ing with his glass of whisky. Went to dance classes again to give us cool Haegeum choreo, but didn't dance at all on stage.
Although I found it stressful he was so ill, one of my favourite things about that tour was the Jakarta audiences; his personal army of petite hijabis yelling their lungs out and carrying him through.
So yeah, I hope their cb concept is just doing what they're comfortable with, whether that's immaculate choreo or guitars in a bookshop.
