--I first started hearing about BTS around March 2017. Lots of people were talking about them on twitter, so I asked a twitter friend what they were all about. She sent me the American Hustle Life show link (an amazing show btw) and I began watching, but never finished because I got so confused on who was who. 

--I also followed this couple reaction channel on YouTube who reacted to several BTS videos, so I saw them a lot that way (though I still had no idea who they were). I just knew they were very popular, their videos were always perfectly made, and their choreography was on point!

--More recently, I began hearing more about them around the time the "Mic Drop Remix" MV was released. And that's when I became a fan.

--After obsessively watching the video 10+ times, I started doing more research. By the time BTS were to perform at the 2017 American Music Awards, I believe I knew all of their names and cheered them on through my television screen.

+Update: It is now 2019 and I've been a fan for almost two years!! Don't regret a single thing.
