Theory about Biases Theory

So I’m a baby ARMY (around a month). When I discovered BTS, I was at home recovering from surgery. I’m an older ARMY (in my 40s). I quickly realized my bias - JIN. Now, I didn’t have anyone to talk to about my new obsession so I was bursting when I finally went back to work.

Luckily I work at a school, so I quickly found the ARMY pre-teens and we started gushing. I’ve never seen them so animated! They asked me who my bias was and I told them. They all shrieked in judgment and collectively tried to convince me that liking Jin is weird and that Jungkook was the ONLY one worth talking about. (Teenagers, LOL)

First of all, I was shocked bc I didn’t know how popular Jungkook was and that a Jin bias is a bit of a minority (maybe?). My solo discovery into the BTS realm led me to believe the only obvious bias was Jin.

During this hot discussion, I saw one girl jumping down my throat. I asked her what she thought. And in a totally serious tone says - “It makes sense that you like Jin, he’s the oldest one and you’re the oldest person at this school.” Brutal! She proceeds to tell me that older people like Jin and young people like Jungkook.

So tell me - is her theory true? Do you’ll think that younger ARMY lean towards Jungkook and older ones to Jin?

I'm 30, been an Army since 2014, and I don't have a bias :)

I like all of them because I like BTS and each of them is a piece of BTS, and it wouldn't be BTS without all of them together.

I don't crap on people who do have biases though, it's also all right to have one person you like best. As long as you respect and love the others 💜

Thanks for being a long time army. I’m so thankful for you guys who started supporting them years ago. Without you, there would be no BTS for me to love!

Hahaha thanks I guess ^^
It's so cute that someone would say that ! Honestly, since they have a lot more fans now, I've "retired" from being a really active fan. I really enjoyed doing it back then, but I had more time. Sometimes, I really miss their HYYH days. But I love how much they have grown both as people and artists !

I mean it! They only popped up in my radar bc they were popular enough to be on US late night or award shows. That’s bc of armies like you who started supporting them ages ago! 💜💜💜
