Episode 2 of the docu series focuses on BTS' American leg of their tour, kicking off with Los Angeles and the Staples Centre and ending with Oakland. With the Time Magazine Cover Shoot, the Grammy Museum Interview and AGT also squeezed in, viewers get to see just how packed BTS' schedule really is. 

We also see that throughout the tour BTS went through a lot of struggles as well as good times. With an episode titled 'Passion', it surely was not going to miss out with the boys each talking about their thoughts and feelings of how far they've come. The recurring theme being growth. 

From their debut, they started small. Their first proper concert in America being at AX Hall and around that time, they didn't even have enough songs to form a full set list. But now, it's a whole other story with them performing at venues much MUCH bigger than AX Hall. Namjoon saying that he thought Blood, Sweat and Tears would be a peak to their career; not expecting any major growth after. But that was proven wrong. 

However, with this growth came pressure and doubts. Jungkook mentioned that he was afraid of not being able to live up to the name of 'BTS' and the scale that they are at now. Yoongi mentioned that in the past, they would feel relaxed around every performance but now it feels like he is living for the performance; to make it perfect. 

But amongst it all, they never give up. They see the brighter side. Why? Because of the passion that they have. The passion and love that they have is what has helped them grow. It's what fuels their energy and what makes the sincerity in all their performances stand out. The passion that they have is what makes them who they are now. Ultimately, it's the passion that they have had throughout their journey since debut that is one of the main reasons why they have come so far. 

Namjoon says 'I live my life so that I can love myself'. This shows us that what he is doing, his career, his music, is the life he chose because he can love himself this way. The passion he has for what he does helps him love himself. 

The message we can get from this episode? That passion is the key to achieving your goals and dreams in life. So I hope that all of you reading this, all the ARMY out there will use passion to reach your goals and dreams! 

"Because without you, there is no me"
