ARMYs In Disbelief After BTS Jungkook’s Unexpected Song Recommendation
To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the global phenomenon, BTS, the seven talented members have been showering ARMYs with tons of surprises. These festivities included the heartthrobs curating personalized playlists called “Bring The Song,” featuring five of their favorite BTS songs for fans.
While every single reveal has left the fandom intrigued, it was Jungkook’s song recommendation that has truly left ARMYs in absolute disbelief!
The youngest member took fans by surprise when he recommended “Louder Than Bombs” from their album, Map of the Soul: 7. Here’s why this choice had fans picking their jaws up off the floor — ARMYs had been previously convinced Jungkook forgot about the song’s existence!

This theory was sort of confirmed when, during one of Jungkook’s much-loved live broadcasts, the BTS star appeared to have forgotten the lyrics to this exact song.
When the first beats of “Louder Than Bombs” started playing, the usually assured singer was caught off guard, his confused expression quickly turning into an endearing meme within the fandom. This cute incident made ARMYs cherish the song even more, turning it into an inside joke that still brings smiles to the faces of fans.
