It's hard to choose a best moment. If I had attended a concert than that would for sure be it but, unfortunately, I haven't been to a concert yet.
-I looked into BTS around November/December 2021. They kept appearing on my Instagram reels so I thought I would give them a google. This is a great moment because it started everything for me. I was feeling really down in the winter of 2021-2022 and BTS was my one bright spot. They made me laugh when nothing else really did.
-Another awesome moment is finding great reactors to watch. No one else in my life knew BTS or was into them so I had no one to share my joy and excitement with. Finding genuine reactors to watch, like you and WhatchaGot2Say made me feel less alone.
-Overall though, I think my best moments are the online PTD concerts. I wasn't able to go to any in person but I did watch them online. PTD online: Soul was my first every BTS concert. I got up before work, around 5am, to watch it. I was SO happy and excited and literally danced around my apartment before it started. Everything else had been, like you said, watching youtube videos and didn't really feel real. The online concert made it feel real. I was able to share something with other ARMY in real time, even if through a computer screen. And then the theater live viewing of day 2. Being in a room with other ARMY that knew the members, had ARMY bombs, knew the fan chants and inside jokes.....it was so special. I think that is my BEST moment so far.
-Buying Proof was another moment that made this all feel real. To have something of BTS that is tangible is pretty cool <3

Same! I thought I was odd for being so consumed by them right away but I am learning that I'm not alone in that! That seems to be how people become ARMY, one little video and then everything all at once.

My best moment is a no brainer because it has to be seeing them in concert on day 2 of ptd: vegas but honestly I'm also really nostalgic of the first month I started falling down the rabbit hole and how exciting it was getting to know them, I would legit lose sleep staying up and watching videos... just the total highlight of my day was binging the content
