Afternoona Army: Thinky and Thirsty BTS Takes

Dropping into the BTS fandom can be confusing. Why are whales often featured? What's with all the purple? How did they decide on that logo? Why are there all those little creatures like a llama and a heart-faced alien? Your Afternoona Army hosts are standing by to unpack the whale (bring a tissue or two), dive into the meaning behind both the BTS and ARMY logos and why they are inextricably linked, get warm fuzzies over purple, and figure out what's with the animated cookie, llama, and pink bunny.
