Back in 2022, BTS ARMY felt that 2025, the designated year for all the members to reunite was too far away. It seemed like a distant dream, which seemed even more evasive as each member left for military service. But gradually, it started sinking in, that they were returning. They were just as dedicated to ARMY, as the fans were to them, and this was evident in the numerous variety shows, love letters on Weverse, and Jungkook’s impromptu live. And now they’re almost back, with just Suga left to return at the end of June.

And they’re here for the BTS 12th Festa. As the septet completes 12 years, we thought that we would ask the ARMYs 10 questions: How well do you know the boys? From song lyrics to stage performances and their variety shows, we have covered the range.

So, what's your score?

If you scored between 13 and 15, congratulations, you're a true-blooded ARMY! You’ve probably cried watching “Young Forever” live, memorised every lyric since pre-debut, and have Jungkook’s V Lives bookmarked. You don’t just stan BTS — you breathe BTS. Welcome to the inner circle.

Got a 10 to 12? You’re what we’d call a mini ARMY leader — knowledgeable, loyal, and just a few trivia nights away from legendary status. You’ve watched enough Bon Voyage to quote Jin in your sleep, and we love that for you.

Scored 7 to 9? You’re kind of Kookie. You’re on the ARMY path, a bit Jungshook here and there, but your bias line is locked in and you know your way around a hidden track or two. Time to binge a few more run episodes.

If you're in the 4 to 6 range, don’t worry — you’re a Bangtan beginner. You’ve dipped a toe in the Bangtan universe, but it’s time to dive deeper. Cue the playlists, rewatch those MVs, and repeat after us: “Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin…”

And if you scored 0 to 3? Okay, deep breath. You're not quite seven with us yet but that’s totally okay! ARMY is a journey, and every legend starts somewhere. Start with their debut stage, grab some popcorn, and prepare for a life of purple-colored feels.
