As for me, I stayed because aside from loving their music, I appreciate their love for us, ARMYs, and for being the living example of success through constant hard work despite the many hindrances that test their will and determination to be able to be what they are now, Global sensation, BTS~ They inspired me to continue dreaming until I reach my goals. One of the goals I have right now is to be really good in Korean and pass TOPIK Level 6. It is so difficult for me because I live in the Philippines, where Korean ...
