Welcome to Take Two with ARMY! We're so glad you're joining us, Brooke and Amanda, as we explore the world of BTS and spread the kindness they inspire in us.

In this week’s episode, we take a detour from our usual BTS journey to address a difficult but important topic—the rising tide of toxic behavior within the K-pop fandom. While it's not a light subject, recent events involving Riize’s Seunghan and ongoing calls for Yoongi to leave BTS have made it clear that this is a conversation we need to have.

But don’t worry, we also bring some positivity to the episode! We’re celebrating Hobi’s completion of his military service, Jin’s upcoming album, and RM’s documentary set to release in December.

Join us for a thoughtful discussion and a little BTS magic along the way. Let’s celebrate the joy they bring, together!
