Thank you to everyone that participated!! The census is really an important tool to learn more about the subreddit’s growth and perhaps even how we can improve moderation based on the changes happening to r/bangtan subscribers.
Outside of *important business^(™)* It’s really lovely to know that we still keep growing with BTS and with each other. We hope we can be together for a long time 💜
Sincerely,

I am once again so happy to see Danger being the sub’s favorite Chinese song
I’ll never get over the excellent use of puns 😄
Yay census results! I’ll look through the whole thing in more depth. Some general thoughts for now:
The biggest age group has significantly lowered compared to last year (I believe the largest group was 29 years old). No real thoughts on why, just thought it was interesting.
I love to see the ace rep increasing from last year! 🖤🩶🤍💜 (EDIT: Just realized the representation hasn’t increased – less people filled out the census so the precentage seems higher. 😅)
Once again my song didn’t make the cut (curses on my bad luck)! I recommended Måneskin’s Trastevere.
I’d love to hear what songs everyone else recommended!! (The playlist and seeing what the sub is listening to other than BTS is probably my favorite part of the census.)
All hail Yoongi’s zombie queen!!
And congratulations to Yoongi and RJ for continuously being everyone’s bias in BTS and BT21.
And Yoongi continues his reign as r/bangtan’s bias ![img](emote|t5_2zqih|21337)
Once again, thank you to the mods for putting this together. This is so much work.
I’m scrolling through the results now and I’m not surprised that Snooze was voted favorite collab but love that it won by one vote.
Of course Ddaeng is still the fav additional release.
Amygdala coming out on Top as favorite solo album song and Haegeum as favorite solo MV?!?! I love both of those as well and I think we’re all missing Yoongi just a little bit. This makes even more sense when I see that Yoongi is the subs bias. Of course he is. How could we all not adore him?
I love that in the how long have you been listening to kpop category, that 10+ years is in the thirst spot. I’ve got a while to get to that number but I love seeing fans stick around for so long.
Not listed but a shout out to the 50-54 year olds!
I see you…but perhaps I’m just looking in the mirror?
😂
Seriously, thank you to all for putting this together. It’s nice to see what makes this community. ☺️
Spring Day remains queen & hello fellow 94 liners 👋
Happy Canada is coming in strong 🍁
I love reading the results of these! Thank you, Mods, for working so hard putting it all together!
Some interesting answers in there. Lots of love for Yoongi! Kudos to whoever suggested Deftones! 🤘🏻
I can’t remember what song I recommended – I think it was Labrynth and probably The Feels.
So many lurkers here omg.
I’m not surprised the top responses for fave collab song were all very close! That’s definitely one of the questions where I was like… I love so many of them how am I supposed to narrow it down. D:
