From the ideal, blooming romance in “DNA” to the loss of identity and struggling through “Fake Love” and finally, the “Epiphany” of taking a note of one’s worth, BTS reiterated that love goes beyond one form. They exemplify the message daily that love isn’t all about romance: love is the friendship and brotherhood that they share, love is their hard work - the comfort they seek to provide ARMYs, and love is the endless support and encouragement ARMYs provide them without second guessing. Taking this into account, for this issue of ARMY Magazine, we’ve decided to take on the Herculean task of attempting to answer the age-old question: What is love? We’re going to dive into the concept of love and explore it as a whole: its many facets and how BTS has used their music to convey different messages about the progression of love over the course of their many albums, mixtapes, EPs, and singles. So, ARMYs - lay in your comfort corner in your favourite PJs, dive into that tub of ice cream as you link your ARMY fam to our edition and set out to understand how love is beyond a four letter word. 2
