My 100+ Things Only BTS Stans Know is part of my neverending love letter to kpop boyband, BTS. You can catch my ongoing series about BTS here or just sign up for my newsletter.
Ah, friends. This post is self-indulgent and likely won’t be for you if you don’t already stan the seven best humans in the world. (Yes. THE WORLD.) However, if you want to understand the BTS fan in your life (or act as if you’re in-the-know), this is the post for you to fake it ’til you make it. (And if you like this piece, you’ll probably enjoy 100+ Signs You May Be a BTS Stan.) Oh, and a word of warning: it’s literally 100+ things so hold onto your hats, bebes, it’s a long post.
Special thanks to my Thirst Third BTS group chat. You lovely hotties know who you are. I purple you!!!
Without further introduction – because how can you NOT know Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung, and Jeon Jungkook – I bring you, the 100+ Things That Only BTS Stans Will Know.
