To all people here learn about bts for the first time: armys are elementary to graduate students, professionals, moms, dads, grandparents, people of all genders. We are from all over the world, not just western countries, we get inspired from their hardwork and their lyrics. We don't just like them for looks and memes. Please keep this in mind! We are a movement!
Suppot you! I am from Russia and I'm 43. So happy to become an ARMY a year ago. Jimin is my bias. Love all these 7 boys for their incredible talant, passion and their amazing hardwork! Purple U all!
It took me a while after I discovered their music to start getting into the music of other K-pop groups. Even then, it's still just a few songs here and there from each of those other groups. With BTS, it's pretty much everything they do! There's something about them that just sets them completely apart.
Same here .. started since july ... now i can ace if there is an exam on them. Started by trying to learn fan chant, even before you realise you are in love 💜
As a Muslim, when BTS stopped rehearsal for the adhaan (call to prayer), I felt so touched honestly. I don't live in Saudi Arabia, but still I felt a feeling I couldn't describe. Knowing that there are people like BTS and so many others who care about my religion and respect it just make me feel so comforted. I feel stanning BTS is more than just liking a band. It's like being welcomed into a new family. I LOVE YOU BTS AND ARMY!!!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜
I actually wasn't aware that they did this. I'm not Muslim, but hearing that they did this left a similar impression on me. It's so rare nowadays that you encounter such influential people being this considerate. It makes me happy that the diversity and love is there for everyone 💜
Same. I'm Muslim, and that touched my heart, especially cause so many people were acting so "terrified" lol. Anyways watching the video "Arab army's are the funniest " made me laugh do hard. I was happy they went!!! 💜
I am 70 yrs old. A.r.m.y. I love BTS and watch them perform over and over and over. I feel these seven young men have really put themselves out in the public's eye and face a lot of unwanted criticism and so many of us cherish them so much. Hopefully I will get to Atlanta when they reschedule their performance there.
me too. I am 41 years old, I bought tickets for my daughter 16 birthday and my 2 sisters. we were going to make it a mini vacation. I cant wait to get my army 💜 bts tattoo. these 7 men have really helped me so much
Yes I'm 57. BTS not only bring me my young memories, but also make me think that I can be happy no matter how old I am. I listen to BTS while driving and it makes me a happiest man on earth. I love BTS. I respect ARMY. I thank those people who made this clip.
I´m 46 and i feel the same that you.When i am listening BTS makes me so happy!!!!!!!!!!!korean music has a magic, charm... i can´t explain it!!!!! i am sorry my english is not good..
I'm also 57, and I'm overjoyed to see you representing the male percentage of our fandom! BTS's message of love and acceptance is aimed at the world in general. There are no other artists out there quite like them. They make me feel good about myself. They've said on many occasions that age is just a number, and they welcome all ages, genders, and races because love is something for everyone. 💜
I hate it when people tell me I'm just idolizing an overrated group. Like I have many reasons why I love them and so hooked with them, they deserve every love and support from millions of people. I mean just look at where they started, and now. Team work makes the dream work. 💋
I legit always get this. I understand what they think as that's how I felt about 1D.. And tbh I wasn't very wrong. However BTS is a movement and a statement that is a gift and support that is offered to all with the right intent and love💕💕💕
BTS literally safed my life. When my mom passed away about 2 years ago, i was in a really dark place. So, suddenly they came up to my life and bring back all the joy to live and give me the strenght i needed trhough their songs and message. Im so grateful for being an army. Im 25, from Brazil and I guarante they are born to save. Also, your vídeos are amazing xceleste, thank you.
I am a mother of two girls. Watching BTS on youtube and listening to their songs are actually bonding time for us. We even had bday with BTS on my daughter's 18th bday cake. I am a mother, a teacher and a PROUD ARMY.
I dont mind who's reading this i just want to share how this group helped me when i was so broken from suffering from depression and anxiety disorder and since i was 10 i had those in me and i dont know how to cure it until 3 yrs later scrolling through social media i come across this song magic shop by BTS and dont know why i listened and clicked it but as soon as i was done reading and listening how the message was delivered i find myself crying but not because iwas sad because ifeel comforted by people i don't even know i feel like there's someone out there knows how i felt all those years of suffering,that day i know i was cured and that day too i got to know BTS who help me cure and find myself,to love my self,to accept who a and what i am, i really thought now one can help me,but it only takes one genuine song who touch my heart and healed it from the pain from all those years,up until now im vary thankful that i knew and supported BTS it was the greatest thing i even done thats all thanks for listening and reading this i purple you
excelente esa es al energia positiva de nuestros BTS en accion nos ayuda,nos inspira,enseña nuevos caminos nuevas metas y en muchas personas les da un sentido diferente a su vida y a decir verdad en estos tiempos tan duros nos da fortaleza y esperanza:)
I'm so glad that you not only pointed out how the fandom is VERY diverse, but also the fact that there's absolutely nothing wrong for a young person to show love for something they enjoy. It's so common for people to use the "crazy teenage fangirl" trope to denounce artists, especially boy bands. It's infuriating because not only is it disrespectful to these artists and their work, but it's also MISOGYNISTIC because it's assuming that the interests that women and young girls have are superficial and invalid. Even if the fandom IS majority young girls, so what? They and their interests are as valid and real as everyone else's.
Yeah, at some point of their own lives, they were themselves teenagers and now they bash the younger generation at that age. I mean "you lived your generation in your way, now let us live our generation in our own way".
@@wildfictions705 it's mostly men tho and them didn't had to go through this misogyny when they were younger, since young boys are 'dedicated' but young girls are 'obsessed'.
lyn holin Although you’re right that it is common for teens to like boy groups, it’s also common for the general public to turn this into an insult towards BTS and the young fans by stereotyping fans as “crazy, screaming teenage girls” and stereotyping BTS as a “childish boy group that only attracts young girls”. It’s also because of this stereotype that older fans such as yourself may feel embarassed when liking a boy group. At the end of the day, fans (regardless of age) of big boy groups such as BTS will get put down no matter what. Hearing these comments is disheartening for all of us because we and our passions are not taken seriously (I am from the US as well and this is what I personally observe). HOWEVER, I totally hear you and your feelings! I had not considered how older fans may feel as fans. I’m 23 years old and even my parents say that I’m getting too old to be liking BTS 😅 But when I was 16, I was still made fun of for being a “typical crazy teenage fangirl” for older groups such as Shinee. So at the end of the day, there will be haters regardless, and there is never a right age to like our favorite artists. Like you said, we should just ignore these comments and continue to support BTS, as well as be welcoming to all fans of different ages, genders, sexualities, races, etc. P.S. Sorry for the long reply, but just wanted to say please never feel embarrassed for being an older fan! You have the right to support and enjoy ANYTHING that makes you happy. I personally LOVE seeing and talking with older fans at concerts, and it’s amazing to see that BTS’s music can reach all people of different generations. Stay healthy and safe :)
yeah i hate that stereotype of an "crazy obsessive bts fangirl" :( especially as an autistic afab (assigned female at birth) person that hyperfixates on bts. like I'm not obsessive, I literally cant control my hyperfixations and I just *have* to watch as many videos about them as possible and research as much as I can about them or ill probably have a meltdown. i just want to enjoy my special interests without looking like a weirdo for it, you know?
My parents and some of my friends always tell me that BTS look like girls, wear too much make-up, are overrated and always ask me why i listen to them since i can't understand korean, i always get so angry because i have my reasons to why i love BTS, yes they are super hot and handsome but the main reason is because they have made me love myself more and more everyday with their infiring lyrics and amaJIN speeches. I'd like to thank BTS for making me such a happier person and making me love myself and i'd like my family and friends and everyone who judges BTS to not judge them so quickly. Purple you, Borahae 💜 xx (Aussie army here!)
My response to the "why do they wear make-up" thing is to try to explain the Korean beauty standards, then end by saying "And why not? EVERYONE looks better with makeup on!" 🙂
My brother tells me stop listening to bts songs if I don’t know Korean and I was so angry at my brother because he didn’t want me to listen to kpop And ARMYs we always have powers to stop haters
BTW: I'm 49 turning 50 in a month. But BTS is elixir from fountain of youth. I drink and become 5 years younger so my actual age will be 45. Awesome! ☺
People actually wonder why I get so fucking angry every time they disrespect or hate on BTS. Look, wouldn't you be angry if someone was saying malicious things about/to the person who contributed the most in saving your life? Seriously. That's how I feel abt BTS. I'm doing so much better bc of BTS, I have the most amazing group of friends and I'm starting to get back on track with school work too, as well as spending more time with my family than in my room with my phone and only talking early in the morning and at dinner. Bc of them, I'm really proud of myself and I have improved in so many aspects as a person as well, not just for my own mental well-being. They've also helped me have a deeper understanding in life and explains feelings I'd never find the words for in their songs. That makes me more emotionally intelligent and understanding over for other people too. So far, I've helped 2 people out of depression and currently talking to 2 other friends who only trust me and feel actual comfort when talking to me. It makes me happy now that I understand the process of life, the power of communication and patience and understanding, which allows me to support other people too who may feel completely alone. That's what I'm grateful for. They saved my life and allowed me to help me contribute to saving others. I still have some way to go to call myself truly happy, but I'm getting there. Hell to the yes I'm proud of myself, hell to the yes I'm so frickin' precious, I am so worthy and so beautiful from the inside and out. I'm getting there. I'm actually getting there. That's why I love BTS. That's why I get "pressed" over you saying they're complete meaningless trash I'll forget in a year. BTS are NOT overrated and undeserving, cut the BS straight away. And if you're a person looking for learning abt BTS or just randomly decided to click on this video, here I am, a prime example of what kind of influence these guys have. Trust me, becoming an army is gonna be one of the best decisions ever.
That has happenned to me too :,( but at first i was too scared to show how angry i was how upset it made me. Sometimes they would say oH iTs A jUsT a jOkE dOnT gEt So WoRkEd Up but they domt realisse that it rly hurts and makes me cry sometimes. Now ive started to be more confident and its made me happier but then when i fight back now or ignore totally so i dont get even more hate they start saying they dont like my AtTiTuDe. But im working towards being happier and i hope that i can help with others happiness like you ♥︎ armys are my role models because they have faced so much but we're still here and we r still supporting them and each other.
I'm happy for hearing ur story which is inspiring n uplifted to those who hesitate to get in touch with bts. I would say u make big progress by sharing with others. Sharing is a very good thing, just be aware the direction of sharing n how other ppl emotionally feel abt bts. Its normal with rejection n different perception of others to bts. Sincere sharing n communication is enough. Thanks for sharing how bts influence u as person. The step to walk out of comfort zone is my personal task. I wish i have ur courage to self heal before moving forward. Hwaiting all 👏👏💜
This is very beautiful, some people like to depend on this group for emotional support, but you use what you know correctly, and you understand that their message is an important one and is meant to be shared. They are not aiming for some kind of worship (believe it or not people think that) they just want people to acknowledge, and feel better 💓 I too am very happy of being a proud army, I have a feeling that was destiny lol, or maybe god sent these guys. Honestly they are superheroes, for millions of people... and I feel upset when people belittle their effort aswell, but feeling this alone means they have thought us well 🌝🌝🌝 No one should have to belittle anyone, especially the ones who bring effort into getting a better world. I love BTS and you too 💜💜
⚠️💜A.R.M.Y💜⚠️ We nneed to vote at the sma bts are at the 15 place this link will explain how to vote ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pLmg6HwmosE.html We have to be fast tell every army spread the news🏃🏻♀️bye gota vote I came to welcome bbaby army 😊💜
I am over 60, was never a passionate fan of any other band, and only recently (Butter) found a group who’s music I consistently love. I feel very protective when I hear of their negative experiences. Their athleticism and beautiful vocals amaze me.
I just showed my dad this and I kid you not he cried. He actually cried because of the people he always says don't deserve it... I think he finally realised.
When you're having a bad day, just watch a single bts video and it'll lessen the burden. They truly uphold their company motto "Music and artist for healing" and armys are the living proof 💜
I’ve wanted a professional introduction video about bts ever since nobodies to legends part 1 got removed. I’m so happy you’ve made this! I miss nobodies to legends part 1 so much since it left a huge impact on me when I was in the beginning of my army journey💜 Edit: Omg! Celeste replied! Thank you so much!💜
I don't know how to speak much English and I don't even know if anyone will read this, but I wanted to talk about how BTS touched my soul. I was depressed for years, still dealing with this disease but I wanted these boys to know that im dancing again because their songs. they help me get out of bed on days that i just want to disappear. and through their lyrics I feel deeply touched. I think its destiny because sometimes it seems that they exist to save me. I wish the opportunity to thank all of them for having managed to get me out of bed and move my body, it's a small step but for me- who haven't danced in years, it's magical. obrigada bangtan ♡
I'm so happy you taking small steps to start dancing good luck to you!🤗🤗 It good BTS given you strength and you listen to there music! They really do care for us.🤗😊
Takes a lot of power to groove to music again. Strong power to you! And dance is an art for expression; it is where passion is most important. ;) Dance like no one's watching Army! Fighting! 💜
I'm a 24 year old male, i became ARMY since 2018. At first, i didn't want to post BTS things on instagram, i'm afraid my followers will bully me, because most ARMYs are girls. So i encourage myself to post BTS, turns out they didn't bully me or BTS. I feel happy since then.
Don't be afraid to love what you love. We're all ARMYs in the end, no matter how old or what gender you are. Music has no limits or language. Glad that you're here with us 💜
To people curious about BTS: I am 25 and I have loved them for many years now and they have truly changed my life. Their music their personalities everything has brought me so much joy. Give BTS a chance and you will be astonished at what 7 men from Korea can do
Can we just talk about how nice every ARMY is? Like when I talk to a fellow ARMY they feel like family. I've just recently found out about BTS and I can proudly say that it was the best choice I ever made. Literally everyone is so genuine, honest and loveable. Because of BTS and my fellow ARMY I now know who I am, what I want and what kind of person I want to be. Saranghae
@@I.heartu yeah I understand. But we shouldn't hate on those who hate on us. We should be the better and more mature person. Hate and anger really doesn't solve anything, so the best we can do is accept the hate and go on with our lives. There are always people who will hate on and who will say bad things about BTS but it doesn't matter because we have eachother & together we comeback stronger and that's enough to keep fighting :)
@@I.heartu we're al passionate about our favorite artists, we want what's best for them but that doesn't mean we should disrespect eachother. So i don't really know why there are always conflicts between fandoms. I think we should all accept eachother
I am 62 years old and am a grandmother & a GREAT GRANDmother (all blood no 1/2 or step). I LOVE BTS almost as much as I love these precious babies of mine (ages range from 22 to 1 yr). I wanna give ALL OF THEM A BIG OLE HUG & SQUEEZE, SOUTHERN STYLE! Which means firm and hang on till they let go! I figure JIMIN, my bias, would hang on for a while and SUGA might want to but I wouldn’t let that sweet young man go. He’s been through so much in his young life. I see these “boys” as a SUPERLATIVE specimen of MEN! Their music has captured my soul. Their silliness, joy in loving, respect of each other and embracing each other as brothers is what I dream for my younger family members. I pray for them everyday. I’m glad that they are still humble even with the tremendous success they have. They know how they have made it to the top and they show their deep appreciation for ARMY, hard work, determination, giving over 100% to everything in their lives. Love how they cook and care for each other physically as well as mentally, emotionally. I can go on and on but I’ll stop. Been diving since March, 2021! My 2 yr old GREAT GRANDSON loves their dancing & our “Tiny Tan” figures. My 4 yr old GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER loves “Chicken Noodle Soup” & “Dynamite”. Some of my Favs are “Daechwita”, “Mic Drop”, “Butter” “Fake Love” “On: Kinetic Manifesto”, “Black Swan” ….& ANYTHING JIMIN dancing solo!
Am 45..a nurse and also a grandma frm Singapore..very proud to say have been an Army and am OT7 since 3 yrs ago...even though i don't comment much but i do appreciate finding these 7 guys accidently when i was really down ...Borahae BTS/Army 💜💜💜💜💜
@@gwenmarquezlovesbtsmonstax458 I totally understand! The thing is there are some people who don't even know their names and say bad things about them...they should watch this and at least respect them
I discovered BTS at a time when I felt like I was at my lowest state. I can't even tell my parents or my friends about what's troubling me but BTS was there to soothe that burdening feeling of sadness. They truly helped me a lot.
I am an army mom. I became an army in 2017 and I know I will be forever! They helped me through their authenticity and through their lyrics so many times....and they do it every day. I wish I will be blessed some day to see them in a concert! I love you guys! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜. So touched in all this great video!!
Just recently I accidentally watched these boys.. from then on I became an army.. 53 of age.. seeing them as all my sons.. im very proud of these boys called BTS.. I hope that they will love each other conditionally.. and the group will stay strong and bulletproof... love these boys..
Discovering about BTS is literally the best decision of my life. They are just so unique and different from all the other artists like ahh I don’t know how to say but i really love them so much. I DO NOT REGRET IT AT ALL 💜
I became an army this year but i didnt know the fact that this boy band will become my oxyJIN,my everything.....people who say that bts is overrated actually dont know about their hardships....they r more than just a boy band..... i didnt support them from the beginning which i regret but i will definately love n support them till the end.....love u bangtan sonyeondan from pakistan💜
30 years old, banker, from Bangladesh. Love BTS and these 7 young men. More I know them, more I love them. They deserve the world. They are medicine for my mental health. 💙
BTS’s fanbase is young, energetic, and millions times strong! We come from all over the world and we are many ages but we are all one big family! I might be a young 13 year old here who is going into high school next year, but I feel like I’m an army who could help give words of encouragement or advice to the young ones or even some people that are older than me 😅😊. I know almost everything about BTS (to be honest). However, I think we should all (yes. people of all ages) help the ARMYS who are misfortunate and don’t really know what it means to really be an army. a lot of the young ones complain about things like merchandise and stuff like that they can’t have because it’s too expensive or it’s not available in their country. *A real ARMY should be happy that BTS and ARMY changed his/her life! Not about the merchandise that BTS offers! and remember the only thing to get into the purple ocean is love yourself and purple BTS and ARMY!*
ARMY and BTS are a power. Sadly, people only see the bad side of the fandom and refuse to see the love that connects us together with BTS. I hope that more people start loving BTS through Dynamite since it's in English and can reach much more audience. I purple you 💜
My story of finding BTS is literally different from everyone.. it all started with a ad on one of my RU-vid videos which i played. I remember it was jungkooks fancam from headliner but it was near stage so i could actually see that there are lot of them. I didn't know anything about kpop or korean music and anything or about bts. The RU-vid was recommending me videos of them that i can remember but i never watched them bcoz i didn't even know who they are so thought its just some random video on my feed.. never clicked. So back to my story You know you have to wait 5 sec to skip the ad right.. i just didn't. I dont know what happened but when i saw them dancing and singing together live i was so amazed bcoz it's hard you know singing while dancing and was mesmerized. I was like who are these boys. You can say that i fell in love at first sight. And for the first time in my life i clicked on an ad video to know who are they. Then it took me to headliner channel and i saw that they are bts. The first thing that came to my mind was "so that's BTS" and remember i knew nothing about kpop or bts or how big they are but fell in love with them. Then i started watching the video from the same channel and saw the mic drop body roll and i was done. I instantly felt the love for them bcoz of how talented they are even before knowing that they are huge or anything. After that i searched them to know about them and i remember i was literally crying bcoz i couldn't tell who is who on my first and second day. I just wanted to learn their names.. and you know the rest is history.. xD One year in this fandom never regretted for a single second. When i started knowing how big they are and how positive message they send through their songs i just fell for them more. I love my boys with all i have. ❤ You know they say that you find bts when u need them that's true. I was going at the time with nothingness. U know where u wake up every day with no reason in life. U don't feel anything happy or sad. U just shut urself feeling numb bcoz u dont have anyone or anything kinda time. I found them at that time and they became my reason to be happy. I felt excited after a long time. They made me realise that I do matter and i am special with all my flaws. you don't have to be perfect you just have to be you. :) Sorry for this long essay which no one will ever read but i feel good. 😊❤💜
I just want you to know that Headliner is one of the most well known Sasaengs. She did a lot of bad things just to make money of her fancams, she invaded the boys privacy oftentimes and months ago chats got leaked where she openly said very bad degrading things about Jungkook (the Idol she supposedly loves and does fancams of) Its sad that till to this day she has tons of followers:/ Most are probably unaware, but a lot of "Armys" put quality fancams over the boys wellbeing...They are not Army in my eyes
For people asking, I/we do not idolise or worship them, I LOVE them from the bottom of my soul, I RESPECT them like no one else, you have no idea how much they are precious to me. I wish them to be happy forever and even if I don’t meet them or go to a concert, I feel so good by just knowing such pure people exist.💜💜 Honestly BTS has a lot of fans worldwide, broken so many records and all but I still feel like they are underrated?? Like they legit deserve to be respected by every human in the world lol
I’m recently getting into BTS, I have like no clue what their about, I just saw some MV’s and thought they were pretty impressive and decided to try and become an Army. This video gave me a pretty decent understanding about them and now I want to get to know about them even more lol. Becoming an Army seems fun, so why not right lol? It’s time I dive into the hole, that is BTS
Aw! I remember my baby army days! 🥺 I really recommend watching Run BTS Episodes! They’re on Vlive (bts have so much content there), run bts is their variety show, where they play games and have fun. You also get to know their personalities, I always rewatch them and laugh my ass off
Warm welcome. I hope you have good time here. I have been here since 3 years, so I can tell you stanning amazing boys. Watch their videos on youtube, run episode, bon voyage, BTS in soop, interview (they are the most fun one), reality shows, you will love it. As time goes on, you will realize what impact they have on you, and that's one of the beautiful feeling. I hope you will discover their all songs coz it might take time as they have many songs. Learn as many things about them, coz more you discover, more you will love it. After 3 years, I still find new think about them everyday. Haha💜
Hey its been 2 months since u c commented i would love to know how its going. Did you become army? Are you still trying? Or have you decided not to? Im really curious
*Falling for BTS isn’t falling or something bad, it’s simply just walking into a place and suddenly realize that for so many years you finally found you true home*
I hope even after 20 to 30 years in the awards show when people talk or say about BTS there will be still people cheering, fanboying and fangirling them. And armies shouting Kim namjoon,Kim seokjin,min yoongi,jung hoseok,park jimin, Kim taehyung,Jeon jungkook, BTS. And BTS sying army sarangae.
There were a few years between the ages fourteen and seventeen I had literally no friends. I stayed locked in my room 24/7. I would self-harm and do other terrible things. I no longer wanted to live. But I started praying a lot and God started helping me out of that dark hole. One of the things he gave me was BTS. Even though they’re “just some boys on the internet” they became my friends. They made me feel happiness for the first time in a long time. But not only happiness, they inspired me to be more courageous, humble, and kind. Because of this I started to reconnect with my sibling who had grown apart because of family issues. Now we are really close. Instead of locking myself in my room 24/7 and hurting myself, I am now following my dreams of acting, writing, and dance. I can never thank God enough for showing me BTS, and I can never thank BTS enough for being my friends when nobody not even myself liked me.
I just want to leave it here that.. it has not been a very long time for me to join the family (army).. it's been around only six months..but these 7 boys aren't just an artist for us or singers or performers for us.. they are people who we look upto.. whose story inspire us.. whose messages through the songs...provides us a spark of light in our depressing times. We aren't a bunch of fangirls, we are a family of both the genders and diverse age groups... we excel at our work and feel happy because of them. On the darkest and saddest, seeing them smile makes us the happiest. And armys are very caring and supporting.. even if we talk online with each other.. without knowing each other's names, nationality, colour or race..no one judges each other..they are always there to lend a shoulder.. and it wouldn't have been possible because of these men who are angles. We don't love them for looks or visuals..we love them for who they are.. what story they tell us. We don't want to break records to show off our success..we do so to repay the boys what they gave us.. they gave us a reason to feel pleased.. and have the willing to live our life with loving it.. Even if you hate them today..the magic shop is always open for you..the family will welcome you with a big heart. Thank you for reading if you made it till the end
I’m 38 and a mother of 3 I discovered BTS after clicking there Butter video! I love there positive messages in there music and they are such hard working! They are incredible!
People respond and love BTS for countless reasons, for me what drew me to them all those years ago was the fact that they are relatable, they are genuine (flaws and all), they are soooo talented AND they consistently put out a positive message of empowerment without being heavy handed and self righteous even in the face of adversity. You can draw strength from their lyrics when you feel like you're in the darkest corner, and you can smile and laugh while watching one of their shows or lives. If good music with a positive message doesn't move you, you're humanity is in question 🤣🤣
I discovered them a few months ago. At first it wasn't really my thing because it's not the type of music I usually listen to. But then I couldn't help it, the songs got stuck in my head, I had to admit that they're great, and that the image I had of them before was entirely wrong. I hope more people can figure this out. They're not just great artists, but great people, and I'm glad it's them and not some other artist at the top of the music industry. Now I'm a proud army from France! :) Everyone, I purple you. Also, xCeleste, I purple you, thanks for your amazing work on your videos!
Sometimes it just hits me that I'm with them since 2016, and it's been 4 years, it sure seems like I've known them forever. - Sandy, 20 years old, from Brazil, and in college
Just this year, i turned to become a new army. In my 29 years of existence. This is the first time that i got to love a k-pop group, not because of their looks but because of thier music and the stories behind it.
Looking back 9 months ago when I first watched who is bts video just to "learn" their names, never would l in my wildest dreams guess what these guys would mean to me just in the future. It all started with I just wanna learn their names but now they've become a part of who I am. No words can describe the amount of happiness and joy they bring to my life. Seokjine, Yoongi,Namjoonie, Hobi, Jimine,TaeTae and Kookie I love you guys so much!💜💜 thanku so much xCeleste we really appreciate your hard work ✨💜
When I was in middle-school/highschool, pop bands were mainly directed at people of that age, so I see where the stigma comes from. The kids made pop their own, and adults looked down on them for it. But as Ive grown older, things have changed. People are starting to realize that kids are not some flighty beings, but are in fact smart individuals. Not only that, but things that were taboo in my day and age (i.e. mental health) is more commonly spoken about. I see my niece and nephews (next generation) openly speaking to their parents about things that press them, and in turn my peers being able to be open minded about these things. Not only that, older generations are also opening up and letting my generation in. I think it is absolutely lovely that there is a group out there that can lead by good example. They could have chosen to be any type of artist, but they chose to use their platform to show us kindness, generosity, and happiness. They speak of things that resound in the hearts of all ages and genders, without sounding condescending. They paved a way for fans to be able to do more than just "fangirling" by buying their merch, but by giving them autonomy to go out into the world and do good things too. It has allowed all people from different walks of life, religion, race, and gender to come together and appreciate something beautiful. This is just absolutely wonderful, and it does my heart good to know there is something this special put out into this universe
i am a frontliner from the philippines. it took me sometime to stan BTS but i got to know them more last year. i was so stressed while dealing this pandemic and the boys comforted and healed me through their honesty, humor and pure talent.
