(Please note this episode originally aired on Afternoona Delight podcast on May 11th, 2022)What happens when four members of Afternoona Army gather around the proverbial podcast campfire to discuss BTS? Things get thinky...but also, ahem, thirsty. Come for the real talk on why Yoongi/Suga looks so fine in a skirt or how Hoseok/J-Hope works the stage harder than anyone. But stay for a discussion on parasocial relationships and why fangirling over BTS can help heal wounds inflicted by toxic masculinity and patriarchal frameworks. But also, we all want to call Namjoon/RM "Daddy." Also features hot takes on Permission to Dance concerts in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. For all you long time fans, please note: We are all Pandemic Army so still learning!Want to keep the discussion going? Hop on over to the Afternoona Army Instagram at @afternoonaarmy.
