Global sensation, K-pop boy bandBTSmarked 10 years of their musical career on Tuesday. As fans across the globe celebrated the band's birthday, BTS members shared wishes for the famous fan base- fondly called theARMY- via love letters, unseen videos, posts and pictures.

RM on the 10th anniversary of BTS

BTS leader Kim Namjoon aka RM posted a letter on the online fan community Weverse and talked about the band's unique bond with the fans. The note reads, "It’s a really special thing to be enchanted by certain words. Until a noun becomes a pronoun; when BTS becomes BTS and when ARMY becomes ARMY. There was a lot of rain and wind, and also love. We built our own world that no one could possibly understand."

“Thanks to the ARMYs and so many people who helped us, I was able to experience something special that I won’t be able to experience again. Looking back, I became used to kicking open the door and leaving after being absorbed in reminiscing briefly. Even now, I’m still imagining our part 2. It feels like it can be anything,” RM added.
