Kuwentong Bangtan: We Are Bulletproof 2022 (2 of 2)

 Tell me your every story

At the onset of their career, Bangtan is singing their life story in WAB Pts 1 and 2. Big Hit Entertainment allowed them to do that. Bang Si Hyuk is a big believer in storytelling that comes from the heart since it is one way to touch another’s. In WAB The Eternal (June 11, 2020), the storytelling goes on. The song is a sentimental celebration of Bangtan’s triumphs over adversity in a period of seven years. This time, the members are inviting ARMYs to tell their stories too.

Oh oh

다신 멈추지 않을래

I will never stop again

여기 우리가 함께이기에

because we’re together here

Tell me your every story

Tell me why you don’t stop this

Tell me why you still walkin’

Walkin’ with us

The song ends with Jeon Jungkook sweetly crooning, “We are not seven with you” to remind us that the fame, popularity and successes they have reaped is due in part of ARMYs’ love and adoration. We know what this is all about. It gives us the courage and the confidence to weave our narratives too in a manner and in a fashion unique to our nature.

Different and diverse the fandom may be, we share our stories in the fan base we belong to, on a platform we feel safe, and in a manner that is most comfortable. It sounds trivial or mundane, but I tell you, sharing one’s story is empowering. Having someone eager to listen to our stories is a validation of a life well lived. When we are involved in a communion of stories and storytelling, we are seen and valued. Bangtan has mastered this level of communication and engagement with ARMYs. In the process, we discover our long-buried potentials and the capabilities we didn’t know we had. This is one of the many reasons why we love BTS.

WAB 2022: The New Era

Now that the Tannies are moving forward to their ninth year, a comeback album is a fitting celebration and present to ARMYs. There is much speculation, alright, including military enlistment. The PTD concert in LV is strangely emotional. While majority in the fandom brushes this aside, I am filing this specific memory and feeling in a drawer. For when BH/Hybe issue an official press release, I shall connect the dots. For now, I will focus on the forthcoming album. It looks like a discography mixed with new materials that the Tannies have been working on for years. This is going to be epic!
