The media was shocked when Jin had his enlistment ceremony and not a single ARMY showed up. Why? Because Jin asked them not to come.
I think one of the handful of fans who did come was someone who flew across from Hong Kong; in which case I will not begrudge that person. I like the quoted comment from one of the journalists - "they do what their singers asked because their singers are kind"
That was the best moment of ARMY that should we believe in and cares about the artist whom we love. A
Because he said Stob it😂😂😂💜💜
Many fans have seen BTS individually in restaurants, walking or visiting with family. The Army rule is protect their privacy and no matter what do not bring attention to them. It's pretty cool! They give us so much, we can give them public privacy.
They deserve thet. After all, they are humans too, and we know thet they can't live a normal and simple life like ordinary people. I can't call myself an Army, but I am a fan of BTS and support each member in their work. Hope that the military will pass fast and safely for the members.
ARMYs are so kind, gentle and amazing! I experienced this firsthand in Busan 💜 My first ever concert in my whole life was YTC in Busan. Organization was lacking, I was hopelessly lost, my Korean was limited and I was tired and on the verge of tears (awake for 48 hours by then). A random K-ARMY saw me, we had very patchy communication of mixed English and Korean and she just grabbed my hand and went like, you know what, you're coming with me. And she literally adopted me for the next 2 hours until it was time for me to line up to enter the standing area. 🥺 Took (dragged) me with her, shared food and water, stickers and photocards.
After the concert, someone came up to me and asked, your first time? And handed me water and gummy bears, saying, you need sugar. Drink slowly. You ok now? Ok you can go home? Ok good. Take care. Borahae 🥺
Faith in humanity: restored 🙏🏻💜
정말 고맙습니다 언니
wow.. that's just awesome.. I have to go to their concerts once thay get back together... I've been missing out for a long time..
My God, that is so beautiful. You are so brave to do that trip! I just was too scared to do it by myself. And that Angel ARMY - I send blessing your way, you will be rewarded for your kindness one day.💜
Let me speak from my experience. I have personally been part of efforts by Army fandom for a while now but something that really touched my heart was when my own country was impacted by floods, Armys from around the world supported. Since my country currency is weaker than a USD, with the conversion rates, most small donations became big for us. We ended up pooling amounts that were bigger than some of the government lead flood relief initiatives! It was allover news too!
Wow!!!!!
I have never encountered a fandom like ARMY! We love our Angels and BTS loves us💜 They lift us up and ARMY lift each other! We respect them and their messages are empowering! I have worked in domestic violence and mental health for so long. Their messages are so powerful and encouraging💜 If the world treated each other like ARMY treats each other and our 7 Kings life would be so amazing💜
I’m crying again - at work! Beautiful words. BTS and ARMY always do this to me!!
Armys are family. I found my home with BTS and ARMY.
I've been watching your videos for a long time now and this is the first time I'm commenting. Idk if you'll see this.
You see, I'm from a small country called Bangladesh 🇧🇩. But even here, in every members birthdays, we make a fund and give out free food to poor people, or sometimes plants trees. You have no idea how much we had to face to be a army but we wish people will see the hard work everyone of us does. And thank you for being a fellow ARMY. 💜
We are very proud of what you do for the group and for showcasing just how much their words impact on people from all over the world - Keep on doing what you do and just know that there are other Army out there who love and appreciate you and your country. 💜Borahae💜
💜💜💜 I love this so much! Thank you for being such a light in the world and making ARMY being that much better by having you with us!! 💜💜
Wow!!!! This is so beautiful 💜💜
That's why we are so proud to be bts ARMY 💜 much love from Australia 💜
Fellow Army here!Every country is important whatever the acres are!!
And we are so proud of you!!
You are lighting the globe with your actions!Thank you honey!Fighting!!
@@JohnReavesLive Wahh I didn't expect to get a reply. It feels so strange. I didn't expect to get compliments.
Thank you very much everyone.😊💜
I got into BTS for the same reasons. The members share their stories, the good and the bad. I have truly enjoyed meeting other ARMYs. and will be member for life.
I remember kpop artists and celebrities are more careful when it comes to BTS. They do not want ARMYs karma upon them. That's how powerful the fandom is.
If I see any of the members up close, I'll definitely give them personal space BUT will be screaming internally. 😱💜
I was there at Sofi stadium after the concert, stuck in the parking lot and the people worked there were so useless, then army went out with their light sticks to direct us out of the parking lots… love us..lol
As an old army I am thinking do I know how many siblings they have ? 😂 And the answer is , yes and no , I have come across so much information during these years so I know how many siblings some members have but I never searched that information up myself .
Edit : I am nearing the end of the video and I am crying , I am so happy to be part of Army , there is nothing more I can say
as a fellow “old” army (in the sense of being a fan for a long time) i know some of their family members, know some of their jobs, but only because it was told or shown to the fans by the members
like Jin’s brother owns a restaurant
or RM’s cousin is an MMA fighter
or Hobi’s father is a Literature Teacher
but hell i don’t even know how many close family members they have, and that’s okay, I don’t have to know, I follow the members for their messages, performances, and personalities, not for their personal lives
@@lixjoonhoneymt7149 exactly ! For me I have seen some of Jimin photos with his brother , j hope 's sister , RM' s cousin and have some random info like you , but never actually wanted to dig deeper .
I know nothing at all about some of the members family and I don't want to know unless they share it themselves .
I'm old and an old Army too 😂. Every time I hear info about their private matters, it's soon forgotten. Maybe it's bcs my brain is used to following our Army's rules that we can know about it but it's not our matter nor do we need to spread it.
I cried too. It’s just another ARMY thing. It all is so touching to the point of tears!!
I've been a casual viewer of yours, and after all of the reactors I've found you're in my like top 3 favorites. You actually react to music, pay attention, and genuinely seem like a down to earth and kind person. I've never once thought you were using BTS. Borahae!
💜💜 for real Mandy Thank you so much!!
I met Army when I went to a cinema to watch the Busan concert...and they are the sweetest giving free stuff and very courteous.... BTS forever 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I was casual listener since 2015, became ARMY 2017 after Not Today released. I have seen a lot of fandom culture, and met a lot of wonderful ARMY at events, concerts, meet ups, etc. I can say I have literally never seen a fandom as supportive of each other as ARMY. Example - I was at a concert and had traveled to get their, my phone did not charge on the plane when I had it plugged in, and was close to dead in line at the stadium. Random ARMY I did not know brought spoke up and down line to track down a portable charger from one person but her cable wouldn't work for my phone so found another person with the right cable type. People brought gifts and freebies for other attendees, organized the lines and parking lots when the stadium staff failed to do so (literally using ARMY Bombs to direct traffic lol), and many other examples from multiple occasions and concerts. I do avoid Twitter fandom in general though as I have seen too much in terms of fighting and toxicity - there are a lot of good parts of the fandom on there but the toxicity is loud and fast and so many people pretend to be ARMY to sow discord and attack people to create problems that I realized quickly it was not for me. I think the hard part is that online people can be completely anonymous and misrepresent, misdirect, and be overly toxic without repercussion
Yes, the most of kpopies pretend to be ARMY
interesting take on the twitter armys part. i am a twitter army myself and my perspective would be that it is really critical to curate your timeline properly and have the circle of army friends online that you want that would also be able to motivate you to stream etc.. you need to create your timeline on twitter well. one thing i would say though is that i feel like being on twitter is really helpful for any tips on how to stream/vote and there are also lots of do's and don'ts e.g. dont use a playlist to stream the songs on youtube and other music platforms during the first 24 hours, search it up manually instead so that we can hit the highest streams.
and i feel like being on twitter helps A LOT for the voting portions of our fandom. if youre on twitter, there will be constant reminders to vote for our boys and that really helps in remembering and also the motivation to do your part for the boys. in my own experience, i havent really encountered much toxic armys on twitter, maybe because try to i surround myself with positive armys and curate my timeline carefully. i also just try to immediately block any toxics on there once they pop up. but once you are on army twitter long enough, you know who are the real ones and its much easier to shut out the ones who aren't here for bts.
i have 7 years in the fandom army and i can say that twitter sometimes drains my energy so much. i like the site because there armys are very funny, but the things i see people in the fandom do are pretty bad. i keep thinking "my god, what happened? why are armys being so mean when bts is not like that?" but i have to remember that it only takes knowing an army in real life to know the true face of the fandom. armys are mostly lovely people in my opinion
im also a fan of others kpop groups so i have experience in knowing the difference between bts fandom and a kpop fandom
I avoided Twitter practically since it's inception. It has been always soooo messy... And I'm not talking about ARMYS or BTS, this was years before, always a mess.
But when I started to learn more about BTS, I realized that Twitter was a place where ARMYS gathered and gave it a chance.
Bug mistake, BIG mistake.
I saw that same toxicity and idiocy rampant there too, same or even worst mess.
So I deleted my account and never looked back.
How could one be a fan of someone and yet ignore their requests? BTS are such decent people that why would we want to hurt their lives. People who do the out of control mobbing are just selfish and egotistical brats.
I also have a big problem with stuff I see on instagram or youtube claiming to expose BTS members hitching up with other, I cant imagine how much these rumours must hurt them.
Interesting information here, thank you

Here in the UK, one lady ARMY wanted to celebrate BTS and meet up with fellow fans, so she set up a facebook Group, and organised a first meeting a couple of years ago or so. A smallish group of fans went to London at the end of that January, though none of them had met before - I was not one of them.
Since then there have been several meetups, (two or three a year) from party bus events, or river boat parties. I've been to a couple, and quite frankly they turn into whole weekends, with get togethers on a Friday night, walks round central London with BTS standees, taking pictures at tourist spots, trips to Kpop shops, lunch at a Korean restaurant, and Karaoke nights. She is also planning a couple of events this summer to celebrate Festa. I'm an introvert, but I loved the two very raucous events I was able to go to - though they exhausted me for a week!
The membership of the FB group is now over 200 (and was larger, but many were inactive). Seems like every time there is an event the membership goes up, because we all have a very obvious great time. At one karaoke night, when we had sole use of a pub basement room, we had 'normal' people (who did not know BTS) coming down from the pub and joining in.
This weekend and the 24th there will be river cruises, all seven BTS members will be there. They will dance all day and all night long. People bring drink and soju and share it with strangers they never met before, pay for taxis, and generally look after each other - especially if you go alone, or have never been before. Such great kindness, with people arranging to share hotel rooms or giving lifts driving from Scotland to London to make it possible for everyone. There is even a Purple Fairy Fund to help if someone is strapped for cash.
There are also meet ups elsewhere, independent of that FB group, but people who know each other from the group. There is something this weekend in Glasgow and I know of one in a couple of months in Cambridge. Sadly I now don;t feel well enough to attend but I look forward to seeing peoples' photos and videos for vicarious enjoyment.
The US is very different, and distances much greater (though probably the cost of transport is cheaper), but I believe that you could set up your own meet - though I know it is actually a LOT of work. I'm sure though that you (or someone) could make it work. Enjoy. Oh and share a video!
Hi Margret, another UK ARMY here. Are you able to tell me which FB group this is on here? I think I would like to go to some events if there are any near me. They sound fun. I'm sorry to hear that you are not well enough to go yourself. Borahae. 💜
@@sallylonghurst4414 it's bringing ARMY together. Have seen so many pics and videos .... they HAD a blast.
@@Maraaha55 Thanks for that. 🙂💜
I'm so proud of army im crying
💜💜💜
I love BTS with all my heart 💜…but I also love Army and respect them very much…every time I wear my BTS things and meet an army…they would be like….Army…am like…forever….it’s like having a big whole family you never knew you had….that’s what BTS has done for us….they made us family…they made us love each other….respect each other and take care of each other 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The most famous musician I have met was at an actual meet and greet. He was very nice and everyone was very respectful to him.
For me the ARMY fandom is so different from other fandoms, because to me it seems that most of us are so open to other cultures, languages and different opinions, whereas in other fandoms there is sometimes so much hate going on if you have a different opinion. I think BTS taught us to be respectful of each other and ARMY try their best to live up to their standard.
Thank you for this reaction, John. I got interested in BTS because of their music and the window into their personalities afforded by their countless behind the scenes and variety shows. I am so amazed at their social conscience and moral courage that they showed from their debut and consistently demonstrated throughout the years. No wonder ARMY are inspired to be decent, generous and caring people. How impressive to see a fandom celebrate their favourite members' birthdays with charitable fundraising and good deeds. Fun fact for you since Epiphany was your epiphany (lol!) about BTS - in December 2021, ARMYs in Indonesia planted the Epiphany Forest in Kalimantan; their gift to Earth to celebrate Jin's birthday. In 2022 they planted 124 avocado trees and called the land Epiphany Forest 2 to help the ecosystem and economy of residents in the local village. No other fandom does this, to my knowledge.
I am so proud to be an Army... BTS has changed my life and I can't be more grateful for their existence.. I just wish them the world of happiness they deserve... Everytime I watch something about Army and BTS I get so emotional even this video made me cry...
I love that we as ARMY don’t care about their personal lives. I constantly find videos about oh this member is dating! coming across my YT feed and it drives me crazy because it’s not the public’s business! And I literally only know that Jimin has a younger brother, JK has an older one, and Jin is the youngest. (because I’ve seen videos of them talking about it on lives), I couldn’t tell you more than that to save my life, and that’s the way it should be.
Armys are GENEROUS! I myself experienced it attending the PTD concerts in LA and Las Vegas. So many freebies being handed out in the lines and I was really so thankful. I felt very accepted and I felt I belonged to this community. Borahae Army!
Borahae💜💜💜💜
although I'm still considered myself as a baby ARMY.. I felt proud to other ARMYs.. I feel happy to know I'm in the right fandom to support the boys.. and I have fun interacting with other ARMYs too.. I've never felt so much love..
Ι literally fell in love with BTS AND ARMY!!
I have so many stories that moved me personally and made me so so proud for the fandom.
I have a plethora of examples communicating through comments with Army's!Fabulous responds of intelligence, compassion and of course help understanding.Million attempts to resolve misunderstandings kindly and respectful with in it and always successful!!How awesome is that!!
But I need to point out one global known fact that happened these days and burst my heart with love,understanding and pride!!
Tae took a part in a kitchen show in Mexico that is airing now.
A sweet young Army went to eat at the restaurant and saw Tae. She didn't make a fuss, she enjoyed her food there and at the end she just wrote a note and left it at the table .The note said simply " I love you so much Kim Taehyung ❤"!! They passed the note to Tae and he was really moved. The actions of this Army went viral in the fandom who showered her with love and praises.
I personally laughed at the comment that asked her how she composed herself and some of them were frighten and unsured for themselves being in a situation like this.
Somebody then commented that it's alright and normal to feel that way but they believed in all of them and being sure*like history already proven* that in a circumstance like that even with the exitment they will all probably act like that cause of the respect and to believe in themselves. Well the answers were " Yes,We know" !Simple and adorable!!❤❤❤❤
Love you guys!!
And allow me for some guidance !!Some baby armys (some pretty young too) often struggle through comments to express their thoughts "properly".And that is due to exitment, natural immaturity , mislead and inexperience! I came across a few and I totally comprehend the "misunderstanding". Please be more patient before attacking them! Discuss the issues with them kindly !!!I guarantee that you'll see and make the difference !
ARMYxBTS as family is just amazing mind boggling and life changing 💜
I've been a fan of many bands for decades but have never really felt that I was a part of their fanbases. The last time I felt I belonged to a fanbase was for the 1990's alternative rock band Dishwalla, beginning around 2002. Anyone remember them? However, I had sort of a falling out with that fandom a few years later & that band itself sort of "changed their sound" & replaced their lineup that I was not satisfied with, so I pretty much trickled out of that era slowly. I still love the OG Dishwalla songs though. In fact, John Reaves looks a LOT like JR Richards (of around 2002), the original Dishwalla lead vocal. Perhaps it could be fate that I am here because of this similarity? Because JR = John Reaves = John Robert "JR" Richards. Coincidence? I have even seen JR Richards with a beanie, just like John is here & the likeness is eerie.
So here I am as ARMY for a few years now & I think it's pretty cool. Add to this fact that social media is so much more rampant & widespread than it was 20 or 30 years ago, so there is always instant electronic communication in different ways. This includes internet platforms such as UA-cam, which did not exist 20 years ago either, where today we can all comment away, just as I am doing now, so that this adds to the atmosphere of belonging to a fanbase as everyone can read, reply & like (or dislike) each other instantly. And you do not have to leave the house just to be part of a fandom, just need Internet, heh.
Also, as far as BTS' cultural, social & political commentary in their songs, that basically started with Seo Taiji. Both BTS & Seo Taiji have risked their careers carrying socio-political context in their lyrics to the point where both artists have gotten backlash & censoring. No other bands in KPop-related circles have been as strongly opinionated & outspoken about the issues of the world than these 2 artists. I hope John can continue to react to more of Boracity Magazine, as her essays strongly evidence the power, metrics, culture, ethics & flex of BTS & its fanbase. Definitely world-changing for the better.
I think the next thing ARMYS need to address now is the way some talk to the members during their lives. It has gotten out of control. But i love this video. Especially since I didn't become ARMY til 2020 there were still some things in this video that I didn't know about. Thank you for the reaction.
Agreed. It seems a lot of immature fans are unfortunately the ones noticed the most by the members. As a Twitter ARMY, Twitter ARMYS encourage others to follow by 'WeVerse etiquetts' and to not ask useless questions like 'can you date me' or 'can you speak english', and instead say meaningful and thankful things. Spread the word! 💜
I saw a video I think was from last year that really made me sad. Hobi and JK ans their security were getting mobbed at the airport, and Hobi is so small next to JK. I believe JK grabbed Hobi and pulled him forward, then he kept his Arms around Hobi to help put him in a car, while random people were pulling on JKs backpack. I guess the car was actually JKs and Hobi snuck out the other side and ran to his while nobody was looking. I can't imagine the fear though of getting lost in the mob. I probably got parts of this way wrong....I don't mind if anyone corrects me.
I have comeback parties. Not just for BTS but other groups also because I've met fans of those groups over the years. The entrance fee for the parties is sometimes cans of food for the food pantry, sometimes it's clothing items for the homeless shelter, etc... These are donated in BTS' name. And I do other stuff on my own for their birthdays. I also tutor for #One InAnArmy.. This is just one of the ways they've influenced me.
When at the concert of suga, there was also an army that gave another army a free d day album. Wow they are amazing. Even though as you know, the price of an album is not cheap for some people
BTSARMY is the best! I'm so blessed and thankful to be a part of this wonderful, loving, generous, caring, smart and hilarious worldwide BTSARMY family 💜
The reason why ARMY are the way they are and they treat the Band with a lot of humanity is because many of us OGs saw them grow up with us...we saw them talk, laugh, cry and work like we were facetiming a family member and when your relationship grows so organically - you do treat them like a real person, not an object. We are a lot of diverse people but we have a common thread that we really try hard to respect them as human... That's probably why a wave a new fans especially after 2021 and covid has created some bad examples for their behaviour because these people are riding the wave - they don't actually understand ARMY & BTS relationship
same to you bro,,i got into bts because of epiphany,,idk but i cried a lot after i heard that then after that i started to watched documentaries and other bts content and now they r da reason y im happy now💜💜💜💜
I am an ARMY from East Tennessee. If you decide to organize anything for BTS in Tennessee, count me in. I think that it would be amazing to do things to celebrate being ARMY.
This...I agree with 99.9% of it.
The only part that gets me is that we all know they all have siblings.
Why?
Because THEY have mentioned them.
Not by name...but they have talked about them.
Hobi mentioned his sisters' wedding. No one tried to find out where it was. No one tried to invade the ceremony. As far as I'm aware, anyway. At most, many DID post congratulations for her on Hobi's comments...and she actually IS a star in her own right! (she's an influencer with a make-up/beauty channel, if I remember correctly) So many do even know her name, we just don't say it.
Namjoon was talking about their debut. Someone commented BTS' debut date was their birthday...Namjoon said his sister's b-day was the same day.
They FILMED Hobi talking to his family one year - bawling his eyes out. He was on tour, couldn't be home, obviously didn't have any of his family with him...but they set up (basically) a Zoom call with him, his parents, and his sister...so he at least got to see and talk to them.
Jimin has often mentioned his "little brother".
Tae mentions his siblings - and cousins - often.
Etc.
It's not some big secret that they *have* siblings...the "secret" is the names of those siblings...as, of course, not all of them have public figures that are blood related.
I love hearing those "sibling stories" when they're willing to share with us, but...nope...I will never ask - nor do I ever need to know - their NAMES, where their siblings live, what jobs they have, or...you know...anything else about them.
"the message behind the music" is the reason why i follow them too, but I don't get why people don't see it!!!
Jealousy that's why 🐻🐯
They don't believe this band that came from a small agency and transformed it to the biggest agency in S.K
They don't accept it 🐻🐯
Bts loves army so much thats why army is always there for bts
Love being Army. Me and my girls buy extra tickets to BTS concerts and give them away for free on social media to Army that couldnt afford/get them. We also buy extra merch and albums and give them away during the holidays to Army. The power of BTS and spreading love around the world will only grow. Some of our best Army friends we met were from doing this. We all now travel to New York together for kpop cup sleeve events and BTS visits/concerts. This fandom and group changes lives for the better. We purple you ARMYYYYY🫰💜🫰💜🫰💜🫰💜
We all are connected to each other like a giant family and will always support each other...Right Armys? ❤️ I love you all
And glad that you got this Bora city magazine channels for all her videos was so great 💜💜💜
NASHVILLE!! Let us know when and we will be there if we can! 💜💜💜
I have seen people who are somewhat famous and have not reacted on the outside but on the inside, I've OMGed
There are armys in Africa too !
Just a reminder 😭😭
If/when you decide you want to do something in Nashville, I will happily help out. 💜
ARMY is absolutely amazing abd a testament of why BTS is the best influence on this world. ‘Nough said!!
Mic drop…💜💕💜😁😏
BTS and Armys forever 💜 thanks for making reaction vedios for armys Indian Army's donated million dollars during corona period
Let me know if you decide to do something in the name of BTS, BTS Army's 💜. I don't live that far from Tennessee and would be willing to join in the charity event 💜. I could be there in less than a day driving 🚗 💜.
That's why I love Army and BTS
I feel like I would wave from afar if I were to ever see them. Of course, I would be freaking out internally.
Jk❤❤❤
One of the most recent events of ARMY showing respect for the guys privacy was when Jin came over to Argentina to have his solo debut on Coldplay's concert. There was a very small number of armies who knew where he was staying but didn't say anything, the fandom didn't go outside looking for him, we just hoped he was able to try as many national foods as possible and hoped he was having fun with Chris and the rest of the band. Even when one journalist decided to leak his location, ARMY decided to, not only, speak against it and call out how rude it was to invade someone privacy just for some clicks but also once again ENCOURAGE fans to not try to find him.
I've been part of the fandom since the early day of 2013, I cannot be more proud on how much our family has accomplished, how even with time and a massive growth we have managed to keep bts' values alive. Let's hope our future shines much brighter than our current days. 💜
Yes!!! I became as an army because the message of thier music too!! 2013 i found out the song no more dream and after reading the lyrics im like omg someone have talk out my think! Then i became army . And i always learn a lot of messages from bts and apply it on my real life and because of thier message now i have become a good me really really thanks a lot to them
i'm teary-eyed watching your reaction on this... Happy Festa!!! Borahae!!! APOBANGPO!!!
I might be wrong but I think there’s a difference between private schedules versus public ones? I understood don’t mob them at private schedules where they don’t expect a mob, like when JK went to LA to record or go to the gym? But fan signs and concerts or other public schedules where crowds are expected, they are ready for the crowds and paparazzi? Not sure if I made sense but I guess I’d be ok with freaking out at public schedules? Haha
and every year army's write a song for them too
could you imagine if every artist's fans were like army's
Nowadays if any Army post video of going at Airport they are immediately called out and are asked to delete and not to go next time, if they continue they are cancelled
When you plan an event, I would love to come down from the Cleve, Ohio to take part. I would happily offer a ride to a couple others from my area or that are on route that need a lift to take part.
I was at d1 and d3 in LA sofi- 1st day was ridiculous - portapotties were overflowing, no barriers/line organization, they started to let us in too late etc. We ended up creating lines ourselves and kept order. I remember leaving parking and seeing an ARMY with an army bomb directing traffic to get out of the parking lots- no actual so fi staff to be seen.
And now after last night at Prudential Center - staff was rude and created a mob rush because there were lines established but staf disregarded them- putting ppl in danger and disregarding disabled fans. Just f-Ed up- any other fans- sports, music or otherwise would have created a riot if treated that way. I hope in the future that concert staff learn from ARMY.
armys truly are amazing! i liked your commentary. also you keep missing information because you look at the chat :( this is why i don't tune into your livestreams and prefer your other videos. may i give a recommendation? may you pause instead of trying to multitask? thanks for the video, borahae. i hope you have a nice day.
love from calgary canada army
In this 3y of being a fan, I know Jin & Suga are younger child, Jhope has a sister, V's grandma raised him, Jimin's dad owns a restaurant
This is all I know😂 and these are the informations I got from members themselves or other armys🤣
Meg! Find him Jin's Epiphany demo from Proof. PLEASE?! PLEASE!? PLEASE!? Also, I think there is a difference between being ARMY and just being a fan. I like to believe that ARMY are the ones that respect their wishes and privacy [except for pets, we NEED to know their pets], and it's the basic fans that do the more claustrophobic toxic things.
Epiphany supremacy 🎉
12:39 holy moly tats my city in spain tat the name is toledo
And bts is soo wolesome
Wow I love this and am proud to be an army love and respect to everyone 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Lots of bts underrated song are deep meaning...im hook up with sea and paradise this is are hidden songs of there album.try to listen to "paradise" it hits different
BTS ×ARMY FOREVER 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
My sis is a new ARMY, but when she revealed she is a fan of BTS infront of her classmates, her ARMY classmate was thrilled and gave her free BTS photo cards and BTS ARMY Bomb for free.
That small percentage of toxic army or crazy or whatever they're called they have more impact on bts, they're the ones who don't listen to bts request of space and shove there phones right infront their faces at airports as if they can take pictures from far (i always wondered why airport security don't put barriers to keep them at bay and i think jk recent trip was good example) , or those fans don't respect their privacy and how they scared and annoyed jk at the hotel by calling his room or appearing at his gym until he stopped going, .even when bts ask them not to comment weird stuff constantly until it's annoyance. Untill last live they do it persistently.
Those so called fans won't even listen to their loved idols requests.
Call yourself anything but fans.
This was a very interesting video. Dimash Dears also do many acts of Charity in his name and protect his privacy. I am not part of an official fandom because I am not interested in social media, so the fandoms could be doing much that I know nothing about. In my opinion, Dimash fans are not as organized overall (more independant)or do not put as much effort and generosity towards each other like the BTS Army but I do know that many countries work together to promote Dimash and support each other efforts. Hopefully as Dimash gets better known perhaps his Dears can pick up some of the positive elements that BTS Army has. Dimash also promotes peace, positive messages, etc. but he is perhaps more intense, shy, and so far less about directing his Dears. Thank you for sharing this video. By the way, Back in the 60's, 70's, and 80's, it was normal to leave tables of merchandise unattended and all would pay into a box.🇨🇦 Dear

If I saw a member out in the wild I would turn and walk away. If I made eye contact, maybe throw an finger heart and then turn and walk away. These boys give us so much of themselves with lives and run bts and in the soup. We need to give them the freedom to have downtime. They are people too. Also many of the toxic things I see in the fandom are solo, shippers or fake armies. People trolling as if they are fans but are really anti’s in disguise.
Por favor legenda em português obrigado ❤
i like learning like funfact details like tae have younger sibling i have no interest in name exact age or what they look like
I don't really talk to Bts fans anymore because I said I didnt like the amount of auto tune in Jimin set me free even tho I said the song is good just not the auto tune. I had a bunch of army telling me they hope me and my son die in a car crash. Which is crazy to me to love a random person that much to wish death on someone because they said a single critique of a song.
So sorry you had to deal with that but Please don’t judge all of ARMY on this terrible behavior! In my experience True army does not act this way, but the portion that do are the loudest! And even this one percent of the fandom is huge.
it feels like you're trying to put the fandom in a bad light, you never know what kind of people wrote to you, I can imagine how many times they did this to Jimin or ordinary fans, how it's different, it's the same madness, but it feels like the norm for everyone. you know, once upon a time I was something of a hater, it was a pity, but at that time, under the influence of anti-fans, I told everyone fake stories about how the army "wished me dead" for some harmless things, although this had never happened to me in my life, I even for all the time in the fandom, I have never seen anything like this, other anti created fan accounts and did so-called black PR
@andi I mean, that's your own experience, but why would you assume op's the same as you were before?
@@shannonslutzky4754 I don't judge all army I know there are a lot of great people in army as well as the bad ones
I'm sorry that you went through that. Tbh...I didn't like the auto-tune at first either & Jimin is my bias. Everyone is entitiled to their own opinion & if someone doesn't agree with you, that's on them. And those people that were saying such horrible things to you must not have much love in their lives to be speaking like that. Borahae! 💜💜💜
WAIT WAIT WAIT. TAEHYUNG HAS SIBLINGS?!?!
Yess. Younger sister and brother
Plzzzz react on the meaning of life by muslim spoken world
don't read the chat if you do information videos, you need to focus and listen
I like BTS but I don’t like their fandom. Sure, they do a lot of good things but I’ve never ever experienced such a toxic fandom in my life. The amount of hate towards any other fandoms and even female idols/celebrities even if they just stand next to their idols is too much. I mean, good luck to the BTS guys when they’ll start coming out with their dating, let alone marriage. I would fear for my life. I’m not saying other fandoms are perfect in any way but Army outdoes every other fandom in terms of toxicity and deluluness.
Now you can all hate me for this but I can have an opinion, right?🤷🏽♀️
of course, there will be no proof of this. everyone has such a different experience, it's just unimaginable) no one is so fixated on their personal life, it really doesn't matter. this has not happened yet, but you can probably look to the future, I'm sure
I can give an example of EXO, those members who had a relationship or they are married, fans at a recent concert practically did not support and specifically kept quiet, even considering this, I would never say that the fandom is toxic, although it was low on the part of those people
@@andi603 yeah. I am aware but is nothing compared to Army. That is a small percentage k fandoms that don’t support some of the Exo members. International fans have no problem with it. But let’s see what happens when any dating will come out of BTS guys, because in the Army, even international fans are quite possessive.
A real Army wants them happy. We wish they would find real love, a good partner. Those who think they are their owners are not real Armys, just toxic fans.
As the fandom is huge, bad elements are inside, unfortunately. Those people don't understand the message and act like animals.
Lmao such toxic fandom in your life? the amount? outdoes? nah not really
