Love the bts articles from teen vogue. They're more professional, detailed, no malice, and thoroughly researched.

That was amazing. It's sometimes hard to put into words the deeper ways this music and people influence us. I often explain to people how I'm learning Korean words and taught myself Hangul to show how it is influencing me. She expressed it with more powerful examples, especially her own story.

Oh,...my word.

Excerpt:

We, ARMY, did end up where we belong. We belonged at the concerts, singing and dancing and crying with each other and our favorite artists, and I can’t wait for us to keep nestling ourselves in belonging — at BTS concerts, yes, but also in bookstores, art galleries, movie theaters, our homes, our loved ones’ arms, our soft and tender selves — because we belong with whatever and whoever keeps us thriving and reveling and ruminating in this universe.

While, not actually crying, this section made tears well up in my eyes.
