View submission: Weekly /r/bangtan Room (방탄방) - December 25, 2021
So I fell down the BTS rabbit hole in June and my husband's found my recent fangirling of BTS to be amusing at best, but generally confused as to why I care about them this much. Well... for Xmas, he bought me their 5 studio albums (Dark & Wild, Wings, LY:Tear, MOTS:7, and BE). He was like "Every fan should have SOME merch, but they have like 20 albums, so I had to research and figure out which ones to get cause I didn't want to buy all of them. That would be too many." He even researched which of the various packages were more desirable - like the BE album has extra holographic photocards with it (Jimin, V, and JK), MOTS:7 has extra photocards of RM & Hobi, and the Dark & Wild album has prints of photos from this year like from Butter, Festa family portraits, Rocktan Seasons Greetings photo, and a JK button-looking thingy. Anyway... I don't actually know what to do with this stuff since I don't collect merch and mainly listen on Spotify (not even sure I own a CD player now that I think about it) 😂, but I definitely cried happy tears at the amount of thought he put into supporting my interests.

My husband who is similarly clueless and confused got me a bunch of random merch for my bday last summer and I got a whole collection of BT21 pens in my stocking. It was so touching!

This was the sweetest thing ever 💜
I have a little shelf where I put my albums (spines facing out) and random BTS things like a mini library lol … it looks pretty but not too overwhelming.

Such an amazingly thoughtful gift! I started building my BTS discography this past summer. I didn't think I'd care much for the 'extras' but I've come to love how each album is like opening a present.
Maybe set with them awhile and see if they carve out a place in your life. If they sit untouched long enough, you could be a Bangtan Fairy and offer them up here or in another group to Army who don't have access to purchase albums or are collectors.
