Before getting in to K-pop, I'd never imagined being a fan of Hop Hop and I think for a debut BTS did really well, even though I'm not really a fan of how they got Jin singing in We Are Bulletproof Pt.2 but other than that I actually loved this album on first listen, even if I can't understand a word they're saying in their Skits. Each track is different from the last showing that from day 1 that BTS are versatile. I don't think there is anyway that I can big up this album as much as I'd want to so you have to check it out for yourself.
Check out the tracks below.

It's been 2 and a half year since I became an ARMY and I'm proud of how far BTS have come, they truly are role models for all generations, I even use them as role models for myself as well as my daughter. They are heading to London in October and I'm gutted that I couldn't surprise Skye with tickets to go see them live. At least they now know how high in demand they are here and will hopefully return when they tour again.
How long have you been an ARMY?
