Listen sometimes I just wanna do normal fan things without being judged by family or friends irl. There are also certain things that I know only an ARMY will understand or at least someone that's a big fan of something. So I'm here to speak my Truth untold
-
I have some accessories/shoes that I bought because I saw them on BTS. I've regularly asked my mum for a few for special occasions like Christmas or my birthday (why the sudden interest kid? Uhmmm no special reason mum)
-
A lot of family vacations or hangouts I planned was because I wanted to go to places that BTS has been to or eaten at
-
How much I've really spent on concerts, merch and BT21 (looking at you LINE Friends store the wallet vacuum)
Are there any things in your ARMY life that only you know and no one else in your family or circle of friends do? Have you been subliminally making them BTS fans, are you sneaking BTS songs in that work place playlist? Are you fighting ppl online defending BTS' honor like the purple knight that you are? Are you spending hours on /r/bangtan daily 😏
It can be anything from something silly like a hidden BTS altar or a Min Yoongi cutout that just happens to be life size in a suit/tux, to something dark (hello FBI and Interpol 👋) or anything you've been doing and would like to get off your chest — within sub rules of course!
Let it all out in one, two…tea!!
What is your deepest (not necessarily) ARMY life secret that none of your family or irl friends know? Spill them here! We won't tell them!

I watch an unhealthy amount of JK content (edits mostly but also random dancing snippets).
No one knows. Shhh!
how much I’ve spent on concerts 😅 but it was worth every penny to me and I’ll do it again in a heart beat!!
I bought the [Manomos glasses](https://en.manomos.com/product/mods-c1/1069/) that Jin wore in the MOTS: 7 promo. normally I wouldn’t buy something just because a celeb wore it, but they looked so good on Jin I took the risk and ordered. I lucked out that they suit me well too!
also, I don’t want to go to any other artist concert besides BTS now. I’ve been to a lot of concerts, but BTS set the bar SO high and I’d rather just save up to go see BTS again. I know ARMY will understand this one but it’s something other people can get weird about. maybe I’m just getting old, but concerts really take a toll on me and even though I like other artists’ music, they aren’t worth the effort to see live for me personally.
I have an Essentials hoody that I bought because I saw the tannies wearing the brand on Run BTS (I wouldn’t have bought it otherwise)
I watch the dance practices and MVs at home when I’m on my own pretty much non stop – happy days!
I mean I’m on here lol ~~absolutely whipped for Jimin~~
P sure my family has seen my little Muse photo card on my nightstand tho lmao
Also his song Letters seriously made me cry
sometimes i start to tally how much i’ve spent on merch/bt21/tour/albums in the past 3.5 years and then i stop counting because it makes me nervous 😅 whenever they ask how much something was, i always round down $5-$20 (don’t get me started on the DVD sets)
I think the most embarrassing would be, that I have a cute Jungkook poster in my closet (which is the normal part) the thing is ,it’s there’s because I often talk shit with it when I’m getting ready in the morning, when I get back home and change into pajamas. I’ve been doing it since I was a college freshman in 2017 and had a lot to vent but the tradition followed me till now.
How many pictures of yoongi are on my phone. How much I think about them on a day to day basis. How much money I spend on merch.The existence of my photocard collection.
But also: How deeply stressed out I got from the yoongi situation. I lost sleep and got a panic attack. I cried about it. That felt like something others wouldn’t be able to understand. Some people actually brought it up because they saw it online, and I just went like “oh yeah, I heard about it, what a ridiculous situation, ” like I hadn’t just experienced the war that was this august.
flew halfway across the world to a country I’ve never been in before, to see yoongi’s concert 😫 it was a last minute decision and i didn’t tell anyone irl! literally flew on the Friday, caught 2 shows and flew back home on Sunday, it still doesn’t feel real that i was there
I didn’t buy Youtube Premium to get rid of the ads, I bought it for making the playlists count more in the charts. I didn’t buy that hoodie because of the colour, I bought it because it’s a dupe of what I saw on the knitJM twitter account. I’m not in a webmeeting, I’m watching Bangtan Bombs from 10 years ago.
The edits and fancam footage that I watch make me somewhere in the middle between being a soft and hard stan.
Like, I’m sorry, Mom, I know Hobi’s hip thrusts are indecent yet equally tantalising in Bapsae, but that’s not considered “soft core.” She’s so innocent she doesn’t even know other groups’ choreography that are just as “bad.”
Sometimes, I read self-insert fics as a means to comfort myself (knowing realistically, BTS don’t know of my existence). I enjoy fluff and crack genres because, in reality, I’d like to be considered one of their friends and just hang out with them.
No one knows I’m army, well most of my friends IRL don’t know. Neither does my family. I buy cute stuff so they don’t really notice the bt21 stuff I get. I went to see Suga’s movie alone and I’m going to see JK’s movie alone as well.
Edit spelling
i’m convinced my skin is clearer than ever because i listen to jhope during my morning skincare routine. like, it’s a legit and important part of the routine.
but when someone asks it’s the vitamin c, because i’m a completely normal adult.
How often I use them as passwords.
(Not for my reddit or email account you ne’re-do-wells.)
1. The thousands of dollars I have spent on concerts, merch, music…and will continue to spend on these things 😅
2. JK’s Golden album postcard, the one with that mesh shirt, you know the one lol, posted to the side of my fridge. So far only 1 person has spotted it 😆, plus the random photocards in my wallet.
I got new glasses last year and they are the same as Suga’s.
I don’t have that many ARMY friends so with my normie friends I will introduce it into conversation, “this is the time that I will be exclusively sharing about what BTS is doing and how I feel about them.” I get polite nods and smiles or criticism for my fandom even though I’m not actually communicating my full delulu obsession. I wish everyone could just let people love what they love and STFU about it. Dad spent $900 on golfing last month? No one says ANYTHING. Why is it different when I spend $50 to see JK movie a few days in a row!?
I bought both the Korean and the English versions of Beyond the Story even though I can’t read Korean. I haven’t told anyone I bought the Korean version too. I’m a bit of a book hoarder so no one has noticed because I have hidden it in a pile in a corner.
