7: Comeback Diaries - Kathy Bowman


Hi to New Army!

by

Kathy Bowman

My name is Kathy and I am an older fan of BTS. I have 3 ARMY children, ages 21, 13 and 12. My 21 year old daughter kindly introduced me to BTS and Kpop.

My first comeback was actually You Never Walk Alone, but I was not fully in the 'rabbit hole' at that time. So, my first ARMY comeback was Love Yourself - HER.


I think with BTS you just have to enjoy the ride. While you can try to envision where the teaser/hints may be leading you, you will most likely be wrong, so just open your mind and watch and listen.

You will probably notice something new each time that you watch the videos or listen to the music. I think what I look forward to in each comeback is the diversity of the music and the storytelling or aesthetics in the music videos; they are without fail a feast for the eyes and ears.

I am always impressed by Bighit and BTS and I think the things that most surprises me is how each comeback becomes more and more exciting!! I think that for new ARMYS, what is important is to know that you shouldn't feel bad about being new to the fandom; there is a place for everyone!!

Do not engage with Antis, they are always looking to snare ARMYs and drag us and BTS through the mud at every turn. Also, please remember to love OT7 (all members), because they each deserve all the love and support.

My first album purchase was WINGS, I then purchased the albums from Love Yourself - HER onward via pre-order. I am filling in the gaps of the albums that I am missing slowly, I just received Dark and Wild as a Christmas gift, I am only missing a few older albums at this point and I have a birthday coming up soon, so fingers are crossed. I have been able to see BTS in concert twice in London and it is not to be missed, if you can manage to make to a show. Hwaiting 7!!

I purple you, new ARMY!!
