On Sept. 2, I attended the Wings Chronicles exhibit here in Manila, which featured art and photography of the popular pop group Bangtan Sonyeondan (방탄소년단), also known as BTS . The two-day non-profit event was attended by numerous Philippine fans and was organized by Army Box.
I spoke to Rosie, head of Army Box, to get to know more about the Wings Chronicles exhibit and the team behind it. “Army Box is a fan artists community with the goal of providing artistic BTS-related products in terms of goods and services by collaborating with different fan websites, fan clubs and organizations that will help improve the image of BTS. It was officially established last year on Aug. 19, 2016. The team consists of 30 people from the Philippines and the U.S.”
The Wings Chronicles exhibit made its first stop in the Philippines, holding it in both Cebu and Manila, followed by Bangkok and Singapore. Just like the pop group BTS, the Wings Chronicles is also "touring" different countries. So better check out the list of places it will go to at the end of this article to see if it's making a stop in your city.

It was definitely fun to be in a room full of BTS fans, all full of admiration and appreciation for the group. What makes the Wings Chronicles exhibit different from other BTS exhibits I’ve seen is that they are doing the event for a cause, as all the proceeds will be donated in the name of BTS to humanitarian charities, such as the War Child USA Organization, St. Jude Children's Research and UNICEF. This is what drew me to the event all the more. During the Manila stop, there was also a photo booth set up where fans commemorated the day with their friends. The accumulated cash from that section was donated to the Children of Marawi, a place on Mindanao Island in the Philippines that is currently in the midst of a military insurgency. Over the years I’ve seen donations made in the names of the groups they idolize being common, especially among fans of Korean artists, and I’m glad that besides supporting our favorite singers, we’re also making a difference.
Rosie explained that the Wings Chronicles concept actually started on a whim. “The administration of the fan club was planning to do a year-long project in relation and likeness to the ways in which BTS has given everyone opportunities. We decided to pursue Global Embarkation, a two-part project that focuses on expanding help to our fellow fans and to all of mankind. The first part of this series was entitled Army Meets What, which was held from January to June in celebration of BTS's fourth anniversary. For the second part, we are now going on a journey for a worldwide exhibit in collaboration with different fan website and fan clubs, carrying the title Wings Chronicles.

The team decided to hold the Wings Chronicles exhibit in places where BTS's Wings Tour occurred. We wanted to share, relive and reminisce the experience of attending the concerts with our fellow fans who weren't able to do so, and of course to meet fans in different parts of the world. The exhibit will be held in different countries, mainly the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, the U.S., Canada, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Korea.
"It takes about two to three months to organize each stop, from venues, set up and layout and other details. The team for each exhibit also varies by country. It usually ranges from five and upward. There are about 25 fan artists consisting who produced fine works of art for the exhibit.”

Fellow fans with whom I talked after the Wings Chronicles exhibit stated that they highly recommend going to these kinds of events. “It’s like attending a concert,” one said excitedly. Another thought that being surrounded with fellow fans helped her to have fun and gain new friends. I noticed that a lot of the fans who I met that day were just friends online before, but the event gave them a chance to meet personally and to put a face behind the usernames.
There were numerous photos and works of art that the fans just gushed over. If you know the "heart eyes" emoji on your phone, that’s the expression all of the attendees had on their faces. Background music of BTS was played all throughout, which made fans ecstatic. We sang along and even did a chant all together. Honestly, I'm very envious of people who can draw because I simply cannot, so I really admire the works of art. Instead of the usual paintings that we grew up seeing in our homes, I imagine K-pop fans having these works of art and framed photos of their idols as part of their interior decorations.

I was also able to interview one of the fan artists who participated in the exhibit, Giulia, who creates art featuring BTS as a hobby.
“Getting to participate in events such as exhibits like the Wings Chronicles is an opportunity for me. It's an opportunity for me to share my art and interact with people. It's also an opportunity for me to learn. I learn to improve as an artist, getting to know what people like or what they appreciate, picking up details here and there."
"I only started my art account in January 2017, but I was already doing art since around June last year. Instagram was my first source for BTS updates when I got into the group, and I'd always see fan art posted by other people I followed. I got inspired by them. I decided, "Why not give it a try?" I had the talent for drawing and this could become a way for me to improve my craft. So I started posting them on my personal account. Then later I opened an art account. I draw because I want to, because I like it. I enjoy what I'm doing, and that, for me, is very important.”
For Giulia, she still feels overwhelmed whenever people post pictures of merchandise featuring her artwork. “Their reactions and feedback give me room for improvement. This is also one of the main reasons why I like participating in these events. I get joy from people seeing my art. Simple compliments like, 'It's very cute,' or, 'I really like it,' always make me smile from ear to ear. Overall, I greatly appreciate it and am really glad.”

A lot of people have noted that the K-pop market has been oversaturated, with more and more groups and singers debuting every month. I was curious what made BTS stand out for Giulia and turn her into a fan. “Their playful nature attracted me. However, their music pulled me right in and sealed the deal. I really love the music they produce. It speaks to the heart. The fact that they talk about unusual topics made me stay, too. Also, the creative cinematography and storyline of their music videos had has me sold.”
As BTS helped bring out Giulia’s creative side, I, too, can relate. As shy as I am, I never thought I’d put myself out there by creating content on YouTube, stepping out of my comfort zone and share my feelings, all spurred by my love for Korea. I can say that BTS became an influence on me, too, helping me to to lessen any self-doubt and to just take the jump.
If you’re also a big fan of BTS and if you want to support a good cause, here's the list of upcoming places where the Wings Chronicles will be held.
