Hello, my darling!*hugs*

BTS stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan, a korean pop band. Actually, when they first started out they went by their Korean name, but now they've pretty much exclusively switched over to using their international group name of BTS. They've been around since 2013 but I just got into them in 2016 -- they kind of blew up and got massively popular this past year. Anyway, I love their music and how fun and crazy they are. Plus, they are amazing performers so I'm super sad I won't get to see them live when they're on tour because they're known for being incredible live. :,(

Their most recent album, Wings, was inspired by Hermann Hesse's novel Demian.

Yes, I would definitely recommend Midnight Sun! I thought it was really good and suspenseful.

Season 2 of Skam is actually my favorite. Season 3 was good and got a lot of attention and gained the show many new fans outside of Scandinavia, but Season 2 is my personal favorite because I really like the character of Noora.

Thanks so much for re-reading my fic, I'm honored! I miss Sarkney so much, it's simply the best.

I shall go and make with the YouTubing. Always good to stay in tune at least a tiny bit with what is going on in Korean pop. And well, anyone who can take Hermann Hesse as inspiration deserves at least one listen! I might have to just call them by their full name - I keep reading it as 'behind the scenes' rather than BTS. Brains.

Why are you missing their tour?

Ok, it will go on my list! Or rather escalate up my list. That is probably a better option.

I like the change of pace that is Season 2 of Skam - and Noora. Reminds me a lot of a particular story line in the old Degrassi High. Just done in a more modern way. I've not go all the way through Season 3 yet, so will suspend judgement.

I always re read your fic :) It is where I start my Sarkney walk down memory lane everytime.

Yeah, at first I was like thinking it would be difficult to find videos of BTS on youtube because it would return results of various behind the scenes of other stuff. But actually the band is so popular now that I when I search BTS on youtube, it mostly comes up with results about the band lol. They also go by Bangtan or Bangtan Boys, a shortened form of their full Korean name.

I have to miss their tour because I'm taking Genetics and Pathophysiology this semester. I don't feel like I should miss any days of classes to travel to see a concert that is just for fun. :(

Thanks so much for reading my fic! It gives me the warm fuzzies that people still enjoy it. If you have any recs for other Sarkney fics you've read that you've enjoyed, please let me know. I'm always in the mood to read Sarkney fic.
