From declaring lifelong loves to switching biases, the journey of becoming an ARMY (Ana Rubber Minnit, the official name for fans of BTS) is filled with transformations and heartwarming stories. In this article, we explore the deep emotions behind the biases and bias wreckers of BTS ARMY members.
Love for V - The Most Handsome Man
The journey often begins or is solidified with a particular member whose charm and charisma captivate the heart. For many, V leads the charge as the world's most handsome man. His undeniable good looks and magnetic personality draw many to him. One dedicated fan recounts, ‘Jin was my first crush in BTS, but then the spotlight turned towards V. His every move, his songs, and his mysterious charm made him my first love in this fandom. Even without makeup, V shines, making him not only a visual icon but also someone deeply loved for his other qualities.'
Jungkook: The Spark in Every Arena
Jungkook, also known by his fans as Kookie, stands out for his multifaceted charm. For many, he is more than just a pretty face or a talented vocalist; he is also a kindred spirit, both literally and metaphorically. One fan shares, ‘I didn’t start off a fan of Jungkook, but now he’s my bias. His ability to be both charming and serious, his musical talents, and his on-stage presence make him unique. Jungkook is like seeing myself in a mirror, and he does it better than I ever could. As a member of his ARMY, I feel a deep and unwavering bond with him.'

Many have found themselves drawn to Jimin despite their loyalty to other members. In one fan's words, 'From being Jimin biased to experiencing love for both Jimin and Jungkook, it's been a fascinating journey. Jimin’s cute, adorable, and kind hearted personality has made him a fan favorite, and now I consider him a bias wrecker. His presence in the fandom has added a new layer of complexity to our loyalty and affection.'
