Vickie Hatcher

, a Mt. Airy resident since 2020, discovered BTS only after retiring from New York Presbyterian Hospital. Alerted to the group by her musician brother, she quickly fell down the BTS rabbit hole and became an ardent fan. She now declares to whomever will listen that BTS is the biggest cultural phenomenon of the 21st century.
