at first, probably because hoseok is in the group? I knew of them and started to like them before debut, and there wasn't a lot to go off of and I wasn't that great at korean (I'm still not lol) and only like one youtube channel had a few of their logs subtitled, but I adored hoseok so much because he's so cute and I started to pay attention to bangtan
of course now I like them more than that, and I can't even make a bias list where there's a 1st and 7th place
their music is great, their performances are incredible, they have a strong connection with fans, they all seem like nice dudes that work hard to improve themselves, and they seem to have a decent group bond
