This ARMY’s Most Magical Meet & Greet With BTS Will Bring Tears To Your Eyes
Before BTS went on stage to open for Jingle Ball 2019, they spent some quality time interacting with ARMYs through a special Meet & Greet session hosted by KIIS FM. One of the few lucky ARMYs whom BTS got to bless IRL shared her amazing experience — and now everyone is crying at her most heartfelt reaction to seeing the boys live.
This ARMY, by the IG handle of @_chronically_fighting_, shared her most invaluable series of pictures that captured her posing with BTS:
In the caption, she mentioned a list of things that each BTS member did while she was in their presence. From happy birthday messages to high-fives, BTS made sure to give this ARMY the most unforgettable time of her life. She explained, “I can’t even describe the emotions running through me right now, I am just completely filled with elation, gratitude, awe and so much love.”
She also shared a short video of herself having a “complete emotional breakdown” after having met and greeted the boys. Her purest reaction is leaving all other ARMYs super overwhelmed with her!
Here’s what makes her meet & greet with BTS even more special though: This ARMY has actually come such a long way with BTS. Via one of her videos, in which she covers Jungkook‘s “Euphoria” in celebration of his birthday, she revealed that “BTS has taught [her] to love every aspect of [herself], including [her] illness.” She pointed out that even through the darkest times in her battles against her condition, BTS gave her the strength and the encouragement to endure.
Before I got sick, two of my biggest loves were musical theatre and choir. Unfortunately, my illness has prevented me from fully participating in and enjoying those passions in a way I once did. In the past, singing is what got me through the school day and connected me with my friends. Since I’ve gotten sick, music is what has carried me through my toughest times. For the past three years, I’ve mostly been homebound, stuck in hospitals, or traveling to doctors around the country, which has given me time to explore different genres of music and gain a deeper appreciation for how music strengthens and comforts me. The last 8 months have been some of my hardest, and one of the bright points has been my discovery of BTS. Their positive messages, especially through their Love Yourself and Speak Yourself campaign, have empowered me to do just that. Before my love of BTS, I wouldn’t of had the courage or self-confidence to share myself singing on my ventilator. Singing and posting this song is my way of thanking them for everything they’ve given to me.
