Creator's notes: The inspiration piece reminded me of ARMY waiting patiently (or not so much) for BTS to complete their mandatory military service in South Korea. The image of the group (which I have been obsessed with) was posted to RM's Instagram in the days after oldest member, Jin, completed his service. In the original image they all look a little rosy, apparently celebrating their brief reunion before the others returned to their duties. The release of the balloons in my image will be the day the last member completes his service and all ARMYs celebrate. The image looks less solid than the inspiration piece because the reunion between BTS and ARMY is still a dream.
I am your hope. You are my hope.
