%20Times%20BTS%20Realized%20How%20Far%20They've%20Come&media=https%3A%2F%2Fimg-mkr.buzzfeed.com%2Fbuzzfeed-static%2Fstatic%2F2016-06%2F12%2F12%2Fcampaign_images%2Fbuzzfeed-prod-web07%2F20-times-bts-realized-how-far-theyve-come-2-9058-1465750774-0_dblbig.jpg%3Ftemplate%3Dpinterest-vertical-halftone-v1%26title%3DMigwKSBUaW1lcyBCVFMgUmVhbGl6ZWQgSG93IEZhciBUaGV5J3ZlIENvbWU%3D%26color1%3Dpurple){kind=link}
Video here. I like how Jimin tries to play it off like, "haha, that's cool but caring's for losers." Joke's on you, Jimin! You care, and we care, too!
2. When May 5, 2015 marked their first win ever with 'I Need U.'
On Twitter, they posted, "Thank you!! Because we were too nervous, we didn’t now what to say… Thank you very much ARMYS for our first win. Everyone worked hard. We will really really become cool. Love you!" Little did they know how many more wins were coming to them.
3. Like when they won two days later on M!Countdown.
If you ever wondered what laughing while crying looked like, here it is. You worked so hard, Jimin!
4. When they realize they have to actually start paying attention to when the camera is on them at awards shows.
Jungkook, you've got to learn how to brush it off. Maybe take lessons from Taehyung?
5. When Namjoon takes us back to their pre-debut hopes and dreams to show us how important performing at the Olympic Gymnasium is to them.
Are y'all crying yet? I am!
6. When J-Hope acknowledges that Rap Monster has improved in dance.
If the dancing machine says it's true, it's true, though that heart Namjoon throws him in the last gif makes me question if biases were factored into this completely objective method of measurement. In all honesty, though, Namjoon and Jin have both worked ridiculously hard to be able to keep up with the difficult choreography of BTS and both deserve numerous rounds of applause.
7. When Hoseok is finally at a place where he enjoys what he's doing and his parents can be proud of him.
"This is truly the most beautiful moment in life."
8. When Yoongi keeps his promise and finally allows himself to cry at their concert in the Olympic Gymnasium.
Is there a God that can help me deal with the emotions that come with these 7 kids achieving their dreams right now?
9. When Bangtan were so popular on Twitter that #BTS came with a little Bulletproof Boyscouts icon even when people actually meant 'Behind the Scenes.'
Or maybe Bernie and JT are actually huge fans.
10. When V, who rarely cries, tears up thinking about the lyrics for 'Young Forever.'
"I stand on the middle of the hot, empty stage
And suddenly I feel so afraid of the void
These mixed feelings with my life on the line
I pretend to be careless
This isn’t the first time, I better get used to it
I try to hide it, but I can’t
When the heat of the show cools down
I leave the empty seats behind."
11. When V isn't the only one affected by 'Young Forever.'
My 'songs to cry to' playlist is just this one on repeat.
12. When Jin started trending as #차문남, or #CarDoorGuy, for looking beautiful stepping out of a car for the MelOn Music Awards.
"People have been making a big deal about him since Saturday
'Card Door Guy' was even a popular search term online
I thought it was someone’s name at first, but after searching I realized they were talking about the MelOn Music Awards.
When he got out of his car, everyone was shocked about his visuals
And that’s how he became the “Card Door Guy” ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"
13. When Yoongi and Taehyung do full bows towards their parents and the audience, without whom none of this would have been possible.
TAEHYUNG & YOONGI DID A FULL BOW T^T #íìì°íonstageEpilogue
V: "The concert we had today and yesterday felt just like a dream. Our previous concert venue were big as well and I find it incredible to even be able to fill it up with all ARMYs. (I'll stop crying now). It felt like ARMYs have given me a lot more compared to what I've given to ARMYs and I love all of you a lot! And it's Mother's Day today, my parents were here too. I was able to hold on my tears at first, but I got emotional all of a sudden. Here I would like to say 'I love you, Dad and Mom.'"
Suga: To be honest, I rarely cry on stage. The first public performance I've done was when I was in middle school, in front of 2 people. The more you chase perfection, the more you can't achieve it. Compared to being the perfect Min Yoongi, I think being together with you all and a Min Yoongi that is constantly improving would be better. And to my parents, I think I'm a son that makes you proud now. Dad, Mom, hyung, I love you all."
Apparently, Yoongi did a full bow on the floor facing the section his parents were seated in, but he stayed there for a while because he started sobbing. Our friends from Daegu have really been through a lot.
14. When Namjoon writes an incredibly long message reflecting on how they've gotten to where they are and wondering how to repay all ARMYs have given him.
"It's a bit illogical, but i want fans to view our relationship as a person to person than a fan to an idol." - Rap Monster
His excessive care for us fans is ridiculous.
15. When Namjoon's fashion syle is so iconic even mannequins rock it.
#KimDaily
16. When Jungkook is speechless with emotion towards his parents.
Jungkook: "My parents are here, the main focus should be on ARMYs but i just want to say something to them shortly (and then he just stopped and started crying… he kept using his towel to press against his eyes and was telling himself…) No, i can’t i can’t i can’t."
17. When Hoseok writes a long, optimistic post looking forward to the tree BTS can become in the future with the roots planted by HYYH.
You're already a pretty damn big tree we can sit comfortably under thanks to all of your hard work!
18. When they're at the stage of their career where Jungkook can just be chilling in Hongdae and come across a street dance group covering their song.
Nbd.
"When a fan saw Jungkook somewhere in Hongdae, she was hesitant at first if she were going to approach him. She decided to tap his shoulder lightly (from behind) then asked, “Excuse me, are you Jeon Jungkook?” But instead of directly answering a ‘Yes’ Jungkook said, 'What if I say yes?'"
WAY TO SOUND LIKE YOU FELL OUT OF A ROMANCE NOVEL, JUNGKOOK. I'M CRYING THAT THE FAN IT WASN'T ME.
19. When Jin is finally the kind of son his mom can brag about.
As a currently unemployed deadbeat, this really hits home, and Jin gives me so much hope that I can be something. The only difference is that his face is a lot nicer.
20. And when Yoongi bares his soul on Twitter about staying humble and not taking the love ARMYs give him for granted.
Someone please give him a writing award.
In conclusion:
![Born Singer:
"[JUNGKOOK] I’m a born singer A little belated confession (I swear)
The mirage that always seemed so far away is now before my eyes (It’s here)
[V] I’m a born singer Perhaps it’s an early confession (early confession)
But I’m so happy I’m good (whoa whoa)
[SUGA] The very first stage we stood under the name Bangtan
I revisit how we felt about our first stage 3 years ago
Still I’m nothing different from a rural Daegu rapper But
I wrote the word ‘pro’ on top of 'amateur’
While rapping and dancing on the stage I wanted so badly
I feel yet alive, the tiresome trip to work and back home
I can withstand such troubles because my people are watching me
Because even if my body hurts the cheers come rolling in
Before and after debut difference lies on the boundary between idol and rapper
Living on, my notebook’s still filled with rhymes
In the waiting room and between performances I hold a pen and write the lyrics
This is how I am, did something about me change before your eyes?
Damn shit I’m still the same
I changed, you say? (What) Go and tell them
Without change I keep my essence I’m still rapperman
Unchanging since 3 years ago I rap and sing I’m out
[JUNGKOOK] I’m a born singer A little belated confession (I swear)
The mirage that always seemed so far away is now before my eyes (It’s here)
[JIN] I’m a born singer Perhaps it’s an early confession (early confession)
But I’m so happy I’m good (whoa whoa)
[RAP MONSTER] Truthfully I was afraid, I said I’d show them all but (I was afraid) of proving myself
The fact that a kid who grew up on pens and books is now surprising the world I dunno
I was afraid I’d stand asymmetrical to the world’s expectations
In case I betray all those who had faith in me
I straighten my heavy shoulders and go up on my first stage
During the brief static of the moment, I steady my breath
People I’ve been watching are now all watching me
Those I looked up to on TV, right now they’re beneath me
Uh like a kaleidoscope, the one chance act without a moment to brush past had begun
3 year’s battle with the mic doused in blood and sweat evaporates in 3 minutes
It was merely _0 seconds but I pour them out clearly I’m fuckin real
'Hey kid what’s your dream?’ Mine is to become a rap star can’t you feel
And the moment it drops, those cheers yeah I could read your mind (uh yeah)
I could read your mind Just smiles instead of question mark
The members patted my shoulder wordlessly
It feels just like the day before yesterday but 20 nights have passed already
And let the haters on me It’s a day job they’ve always been at
While you all were teasing the keyboard I fulfilled my dreams
Sun glasses hair style, I know why you ridicule me
In any case, it’s me who’s gone further than you at age 20
[V] I’m a born singer A little belated confession (I swear)
The mirage that always seemed so far away is now before my eyes (It’s here)
[JIMIN] I’m a born singer Perhaps it’s an early confession (early confession)
But I’m so happy I’m good (whoa whoa)
[J-HOPE] The days we’ve run through, the days we’ve experienced together
How we became one mind in 3 years’ time
I’m drenched with the blood and sweat I’ve spilled
After the performance tears leak though
Every moment I makes sure not to lose my integrity
To always be myself, so I don’t embarrass the me from the beginning
So we go we go we go
Higher higher higher

If you made it through this post with dry eyes, I applaud you but also wonder if you're human.
Happy BTS Festa!
