Recently, BTS appeared for an interview on Spout Podcast. The host of the podcast, Erik Achary, asked BTS an interesting question. He asked the group to give some advice to newer Armies because the number of people listening to BTS’ music after Butter, Dynamite, and Permission to Dance, has gone up. He said, “There’s a lot of people looking you guys up on Spotify and Apple Music and going, ‘Okay, what else do they have?’ So, for fans who are just joining ARMY, newer ARMY members here, do you have a message for the people who are experiencing and binging the older BTS tracks, going through the old records?”
RM replied, “So, first things first, welcome to the team. Welcome! There are some actually fun chapters before ‘Dynamite.’ There are some ‘Dynamite’ chapters right now… like our fourth chapter. The first chapter, there was Skool [Luv Affair], the second chapter … was kind of like The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, and the third chapter, we got Love Yourself, Map of the Soul, so there’s some actually narrative that we have, walk this way and path.”
Then RM talked about how the newer Armies won’t get bored because BTS has put up a lot of music in the past 8 years.
“There’s a lot of songs, lots of albums, lots of behind-the-scenes, literally BTS’s, videos, social media, and so maybe it’ll take a year to chase all of the paths and things of BTS.”
RM then added on a good note. He talked about how it might be easy to join the BTS fandom but it won’t be easy to leave.
“There’s no exit. There’s no kind of get-out. So, welcome to the team. Please don’t go out. Have a great day!”
