The 529 Connection
WEEK 38 | If I Had Not Known You
When ARMY talks about finding BTS, there is often a tinge of destiny woven into the conversation. I think most of us feel like we were always meant to have BTS as a part of our lives, no matter when we discovered them. And doesn’t it seem the same for them having found each other? It doesn’t seem possible that there could be a world in which Bangtan Sonyeondan did not exist. But their origin story is full of small “what ifs” and moments of complete chance. In 2019, the group, along with Takeone Company, developed and released a mobile game that explored the very idea of what could have happened if the members of BTS had not met and become an Idol group. It was called “BTS World” and it followed the members (and you, as their potential manager) trying to get them to Debut and beyond. But the game also shows us the other side of the coin… what life could have been like for the members without BTS, and how the idea of destiny brings people together even when it seems like it shouldn’t.
