BTS's World Tour is about to begin, and to celebrate that I am giving away 3 BTS World Tour 'Arirang' bandanas that I designed.
Details: 100% cotton (100 msg, fairly thin), approx. 22"x22" (55×55 cm), one-sided print (other side just has the field color). Design features the Arirang logo, and text to commemorate the world tour, as well as the BTS & ARMY logo in the four corners of the Korean-inspired border.
Usage ideas: bandana, headband, neck kerchief, tie around wrist, thread thru belt loop,, hang from concert bag, tie around ARMY bomb handle, use as rally rag (swirl around in the air inside the stadium), or use it to dry your tears when you finally see them after all this time.
There's a video of the bandana on the sister sub Heungtan.

One BTS moment would be when Jin and Taehyung got mad at each over the dance in spring day
Thank you for creating this giveaway your bandanas are beautiful!!
One ARMY moment that is very memorable and personal to me happened to me on day 1 of PTD LA. I went by myself and I struggle with anxiety especially in large crowds and claustrophobia. As many are aware the scene outside the venue on day 1 was enough to shake someone who doesn’t struggle with those things.
The situation was too much for me to handle and I was very close to walking away from the concert entirely when some ARMYS saw me and started talking to me. They were from the bay like me and held onto me through the really packed crowd so I could stay with them and not get lost. I never really got the chance to thank them because it was a mad dash for seats once we made it in, but I hope they know how grateful I was to them 💜 I think that interaction is the heart of what makes ARMY so special 💜
I feel like this one isn’t really all that special compared to what many will probably have, but Covid lockdown was just very isolating for me. All of my friends were off in pairs, everyone had a room mate or family but me. I could text them sure, but it felt so lonely looking into all these homes with multiple voices and then I look up and it’s just my empty apartment. Like a lot of people I got animal crossing new horizons around that time and spent the bulk of the time just laying on the couch playing switch games while listening to BTS on repeat (and the D-2 mixtape Suga put out that May). It wasn’t all that exciting of a moment, if anything it was more just a summer rather than a single moment, but it got me through those lonely times alone and filled the silence during that uncertain time.
Ooo nice bandana!
So a moment with BTS that I will always remember is my first concert, which was Wembley 2019!
mine would definitely be my first time seeing them in 2015 in the red bullet tour!! the concert was ending, they were offstage, and the entire crowd started singing to i need u with no background music and jin popped back out for a bit to sing with the crowd :’)
I was in Busan the day after their farewell concert, I happened to be wearing my favorite purple hoodie which I had owned for years, all day I had people coming up to me, asking me who is your bias, and all these references I knew nothing about….I didn’t know who BTS was! That made me go down the rabbit hole, I am now Army, have all their albums ( group and solo ) have watched all their online content, and I’ll be going to their concert in Tampa ( flying in from Seattle) my family, friends and colleagues think I have lost my mind, I don’t care what anyone thinks. BTS makes me happy, they all are gentlemen , world class musician, and their music is phenomenal.
My BTS memorable moment is when I first heard Mic Drop on the radio. I had no idea who sang the song or what the song was called but I knew I was going to like whoever sang this song. I was not wrong 💜
Ooh my most memorable moment so far– I remember being in a very low point in my life in 2021 and logging in to see the ptd livestream at sofi in 2021– when My Universe came on and Chris Martin walked out to sing with BTS, I immediately teared up. It was legitimately one of the best moments of my life feeling so connected to ARMY around the world
Thank you for considering! 💜
I am not someone who easily cries or shows emotions but the one time I genuinely teared up and remembered between bts and army was when bts got their first US award nomination, I stayed up the whole night to watch the show, them doing a vlive afterwards, it really felt like I was winning it with them! Such good times 💜🫂🫂
I haven’t been there in person, only watched the concert stream, but
Yoongis last solo concert, Snooze…
The audience “carrying” him, telling ***him*** that everything will be okay.
The sheer love and support in that moment, the giving back from the fans, all understanding the gravity of the moment.
Still getting goosebumps.
Mine would be the first time seeing BTS live at Kcon 2016! I got to see them up close and met so many kind and friendly Army! This was right after Young Forever came out and it was my first comeback as an Army!
Thank you for hosting this giveaway!
My ARMY moment is attending the first PTD movie screening on my own. I was too scared to actually go to the concert myself (delusionally thought I’d score a ticket) but I HAD to go to the movie screening. I couldn’t miss it. I was really nervous as my town is not exactly diverse and I am way past noona ARMY in age. But the ARMYs there were so welcoming and we bonded quickly over discussing biases and favorite songs. I’ve since brought a friend along to every movie screening and we’re attending the concerts in Stanford in May!!
These bandanas rock!
A memorable BTS moment for me (though I was not ARMY at the time) is watching footage of the members winning their first daesang and seeing the shock and then joy on their faces after they had worked so hard for so long. That moment just gives me all the warm fuzzies!
My memorable BTS moment as ARMY was when I first saw jhope perform in Brooklyn. It was my first BTS concert. My first kpop concert. So many firsts. Meeting army. Getting freebies. And just having a great time.
A memorable moment for me was watching the Mic Drop MV for the first time, and then watching the boys react to it. They were just as fascinated as we were. I remember a few of them rewatched immediately and that was funny to me bc that’s what we all did. No ARMY watched that MV one time after that first watch. The styling the set pieces the choreography it was all perfect for that song.
I will never forget seeing BTS live for the first time, up close and personal, at the Spotify Swimside event in NYC. It was so moving and precious.
Ca-reu-bo-na-ra! La-ji-mo-la-la??
Rose Bowl 2019 will always have a special place in my heart. I didn’t get spoiled beforehand so seeing JK fly took my breath away.
Thank you OP!
These are awesome! Thank you for hosting the giveaway.
My memorable BTS moment is the moment they (and particularly J-hope) caught my attention. One of their Jimmy Fallon appearances. They came out, and all introduced themselves. We got to Hobi’s introduction and I was all “ok, this guy’s got personality for days. I like him”. I watched the interview and found that they all had great personalities. Then I watched the performance and I knew I was hooked. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
These look sick! Thank you so much for the chance!
There’s been so many awesome ARMY moments over the years. I have a tiny one. A few years ago I had a tiny Shooky keychain that I had clipped onto my bag. When I rode the subway one day, another ARMY in the train made eye contact with me, smiled, and pointed to my bag then motioned to her phone. She had a super cute Love Myself decal on it. We had a sweet little giggle together from across the crowd of commuters.
This is so beautiful.
My favorite memory was seeing them live at MetLife Stadium back in 2019!
In May 2019 I was able to take my kids to see BTS at the Rose Bowl in Pasedena. It was a dream come true. I’ll never forget the end fireworks to Mikrocosmos while the confetti dropped on us and my kid in tears both happy to have been able to see them and sad that it was ending.
Beautiful 😍
I really love the show V did where he surprised a fan. It was so sweet and heart warming
I’ve only watched OT7 concerts on streaming but my favourite in person experience was when I flew over from Australia to Anaheim for Jin’s solo tour! Everyone was so nice and I have so many freebies that I brought home! It was so wholesome having people hear my accent and then be shocked that I travelled so far for the concert!
Hello! Thank you for doing this 😊
My memorable Army moment was being in LA before the first PTD concert and being around so many other Army at once. It felt like being a part of something huge and meaningful. 💜 It’s truly a feeling I’ll never forget and I can’t wait to see them again on tour soon!!
That bandana is so cute! I think Wembley 2019 is hard to beat for me. It was my first BTS concert after being a fan for two years, and I remember the first day was livestreamed, so I never expected a moment on day 2 as beautiful as singing Young Forever to the boys. It’s such a special moment that I cherish. I still kind of tear up when I hear that song!
The most meaningful moment (lately) has been seeing all of the members with genuine face-crinkling smiles and warm laughs because they are all back together in the same space together. 💜
thank you for doing this giveaway!!
my memorable army moment was when i went to see jk for the today show in 2023. i was alone and it was my first bts related event (army from jan 2023). i was okay being alone but it wasn’t ideal. another army who was solo and had been to many bts events took me under her wing and we spent the whole time together until we had to part ways. she even made sure we didn’t get separated when the gates opened by holding my hand. it was a great introduction into how welcoming and kind most army are!
Those are awesome!
I have a lot of memorable BTS moments but probably the most special was the night I learned who BTS was and fell in love.
I had recently signed up for twitter and I think there was something trending about them. It had to do with the MAMA 2019 and 2020 performances being aired on YouTube that night/morning 4am for me, and people seemed so excited so I thought I’d check it out.
My mind was blown off! 😂 I thought who are these people who blend all these art forms with such beauty and style. Then I happily fell down the rabbit hole. It felt magical to me. 🥹🥰💜
RM describing Chronos vs Kairos in the Netflix documentary is going to stick with me for a long time ❤️
I guess my moment would be when I first discovered their music which was around 2017. I’m an adoptee from South Korea and I grew up feeling disconnected from my heritage. Discovering their music and becoming a fan opened a door for me to reconnect with that part of myself. I am so grateful to them for sharing their voices and hearts with the world and for helping people like me feel proud of who are. Arirang holds an extra special place in my heart for this very reason.
Seeing Jin on his tour, my first BTS experience. London day 2 had a pink sticker project which we put pink stickers over our phone flashlights and when Jin sang epiphany we all turned our flashlights on and our light sticks off and the room was lit with pink…it was so pretty and Jin loved it 🥹
Covid 2020, I was a healthcare provider and the ICU was rough – people sick beyond hell, dying left and right. I’d come home after a shift and put on run bts. Swear it got me thru all the sickness and helped me decompress. The amount of times I’ve seen the hajimolala and V betrays Jimin episodes is ridiculous
I saw Hobi with my husband and two kids (13 and 10). We made a sign that said “This ARMY family lives JHOPE!” for the pre-encore when everyone tries to get on screen. They showed us, which was awesome – but the ultimate moment was when, in a later Bangtan Bomb, they showed Hobi seeing our sign from backstage and commenting on it. It was so cool to see and very exciting for us. One of my favorite moments for sure! 💜
The moment where Covid was at its highest and I was at my darkest and all their activities and shows really helped me get through it
My first time will be this year!!!!!! Your creation is amazing!!
