[BTS] Emergency Survey from Official [ARMY]
[Update: 2025/6/12] Added because the answers were revealed in the 2025 BTS FESTA content
A sudden question
While looking at X yesterday, a post saying "Did you answer the survey?" popped up.
I wondered what it was about, and when I looked, a "Recommended Post" was casually dropped on Weverse. I didn't notice it because there was no notification...!
To. ARMY

"Bring us closer together"... isn't that a heart-fluttering sentence? ( *´艸｀)
The questions were provided via a Google Form.
I wonder if they limited it to 12 hours to prevent a rush... It reminds me of when ARMY crashed it in the past lol
An ARMY-participatory survey conducted during the 2020 FESTA (total votes received: 145,520).
It seems it was done using a Google Form, but the input was so overwhelming that Google Drive crashed, and when I went to check Twitter, the logs were posted. That's the power of our numbers, ARMYs lol

My Answers
Q. As an ARMY, what title track do you recommend when introducing BTS?
A. Dynamite
This has to be the legendary 'Dynamite'!
It is likely the song with the highest level of recognition among Bangtan's tracks.
Q. As an ARMY, what is a hidden BTS masterpiece that you want to keep as your own secret?
A. Spring Day (V Demo Ver.)
A sudden difficult question. Does a 'hidden song' even exist anymore for Bangtan, who have over 80 million official channel subscribers? No (omitted).
First, I struggled to death choosing between a Japanese song, a demo song, a hidden track, a cover song, a collaboration song, or a mixtape song... There are too many candidates lol.
In the end, I chose V's version of 'Spring Day'. I love the feeling of 'my heart is already in spring!' 💜
The runners-up are the Japanese songs 'Let Go' and 'Stay Gold'.
Q. As an ARMY, what is your favorite BTS choreography?
A. IDOL
If I start thinking about this too deeply, I'll never stop, so I went with the first one that came to mind!
In the choreography where they swing one leg around toward the end, I think every time, 'That's impossible! ( ﾟДﾟ)'. Is Bangtan's stamina inexhaustible?
Q. As an ARMY, if you could turn back time, which BTS concert would you absolutely want to go to?
A. BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE in Seoul
October 24, 2021, 'BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE' at the Seoul Olympic Stadium in South Korea!
It was packed with heart-filling elements: the stage after the COVID-19 pandemic, meeting ARMYs for the first time in a while, and a god-tier setlist featuring all seven members without any solo stages.
The runner-up is their 2013 Japan debut showcase. They were all babies and are incredibly cute (´- `*)
Q. As an ARMY, what is a piece of original BTS content that you want them to do again?
A. ARTIST-MADE COLLECTION 'SHOW' BY BTS!
I panicked for a second, thinking, 'What is original content!?'
Oh, you mean stuff like Run BTS, Bon Voyage, and In the SOOP. Wow, that's tough. I can't choose!
After much deliberation, I chose Artist-Made. That was the one where they did a home shopping show.
I also like In the SEOM and BT21, but I really love content where Bangtan makes something and we all enjoy it together. I'm so jealous of the ARMYs who were able to get them (*´艸｀)
Q. As an ARMY, what is your favorite BTS buzzword?
A. "Smooth like butter"
The only buzzwords that came to mind were 'Borahae' and 'Rajibolala' (;∀;)
This one seemed to be trending even among Bangtan, as they used it a few times in phrases like 'I did 〇〇 as smoothly as Butter'.
Q. What was the trigger that made you become an ARMY (= got you hooked on BTS)?
A. PTD performed at the United Nations General Assembly
The UN PTD! Suit Bangtan is the best.
Everyone looked like they were having so much fun, and they were truly adorable. The lightness of their steps after going outside and the sense of liberation brought by the clear blue sky matched the song perfectly, so I watched it over and over again.
I never even thought about using the UN General Assembly venue as a stage. Amazing!
Q. As an ARMY, if you were to convey your feelings with a line from a BTS song, which line would you choose?
A. "그래도 좋은 날이 앞으로 많기를(2! 3!)"
This was too difficult a question...!!
First, I have to choose what kind of feeling I want to convey. Whether it's to 'Love Myself,' to express gratitude, or to go and stir things up (eh), the directions are completely different, aren't they?
In the end, I chose this line from '2! 3!'. It's a song I can't forget after learning the background.
'그래도 좋은 날이 앞으로 많기를 (Hoping that there will be many more good days ahead)'
SUGA: 'This song is special. Most fan songs are usually pretty, right? Those lyrics could only have been written at that time.'
Bangtan, exhausted by misunderstandings and controversy, sang 'Let's forget it on 2, 3' to shake off those memories. Jimin-chan was moved to tears by the voices of the ARMYs singing along.
Knowing the background, listening to the song, and hearing Namjoon's comments on tour makes you think about the responsibility and fear of standing in front of people and expressing yourself.
Q. What is the music show stage that ARMYs like the most?
A. BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge
I agonized over it and chose BBC's 'Radio 1 Live Lounge.' The runners-up were SNL, Tiny Desk Concert, and (omitted)...
Honestly, I wish I could spend three days and three nights agonizing over it.
By the way, there are so many Korean music shows that I still can't tell them apart...
Q. Please tell us about any funny incidents related to BTS that you have actually experienced.
A. I once almost greeted my colleagues at work in the morning by saying, 'Good morning, ARMY-yeorobun!'
I don't really have anything that I could call funny (/ω＼)
I've had complaints from my family like, 'My recommendations are full of BTS,' because I keep playing BTS songs on various devices, or my child asking, 'Why do you play music when we're going out?' (and so on).
Maybe it's time I start my own 'Mom's Streaming and Music Video Tutorial' class...
Q. Please tell us about an episode where you were comforted by BTS.
A. Bangtan always gives me comfort and laughter. Thank you!
Bangtan always gives me comfort, but the fact that they 'make me laugh' is a big part of it. No matter what, just remembering the highlights from Run BTS! or seeing them having fun at concerts makes my cheekbones rise (a Korean expression for smiling).
I love their songs, dances, and looks, but I feel like I wouldn't have fallen for them this hard if our sense of humor didn't match!
Q. Please tell us about a moment of happiness you felt specifically because you are an ARMY who loves BTS.
A. Seeing them build a big family, like when Bang PD and BTS's families came to watch j-hope's performance, makes me happy. Knowing that I am a part of this special bond and that I, too, can expand such relationships is one of the great joys I have received from BTS.
I had just watched the EPISODE of Hobi's Seoul concert, so that's how I felt. Sorry if it sounds like a literal translation (*ﾉωﾉ)
It doesn't come to mind immediately when asked for an episode, but I often feel happiness and gratitude.
I thought about this when I did text mining on 2024 articles before, but the frequently used words are generally upbeat, and they seem to be living happily lol
I might be able to watch the process of V's beauty maturing from here on out.
Just the possibility of that makes me want to thank myself for being born in the same era. LOVE MYSELF.
I want to live a long life.
I can't live happily every single day, but in moments when I suddenly feel joy,
'Hehe, if I've become happy, that means Bangtan, who loves ARMY, has also become happy! I've made Bangtan happy again today (*ﾉωﾉ)'
Thinking like that might be a fun way to live.
Hoping that many good days will come in the future
I answered intuitively while clutching my head, thinking, 'I can't choose...!!', but after submitting, I rolled around thinking, 'Ah, I should have included that one too...' I lack training and study ( ;∀;)
Since the response period was short, I think there might be some ARMY who couldn't encounter it. Please read this list of questions and let's agonize together, saying, 'I can't choose...!!' lol
I'm really looking forward to seeing how the results of this survey will be used.
I wonder if it will be announced within content, like when they did the 'ARMY's Choice Song Special' on Run BTS! before. My guess is FESTA?
I love song rankings, so I'm secretly hoping for it. I wonder if unexpected songs will come up, like 'Louder than bombs' ( *´艸｀)
Postscript: Checking the answers
The answer key for the 2025 BTS FESTA content has arrived!!
