Bts has the most loyal fan group in the world and they call themselves the 'ARMY' I myself am late to the party and while I had a few friends who really loved BTS and Korean pop music, I caught on just a few weeks ago even though I may not call myself a full on homie. But I certainly do admire so much about this BTS band. They aren't your average boy band group

Hi Shaz, thank you for inviting me to this discussion. I would rather name you and others who are similar to you as 'army' in progress. I am so happy that I introduced them to you. Now coming back to your question, be careful. This stands for Bangtan Sunyagan, which literally translates to Bulletproof Boy Scouts. You should rather listen to the history of how they come up with this name. It was rather funny and very, very intellectual
So BTS is a seven member group and in no particular order. Their stage names are Jungkook V, Jin, Suga Jin, RM and Jhope and RM is the leader spoke person of the group. And as she mentioned, their name stands for Bulletproof Boy Scouts in Korean. And they chose the word bankhan, which means resistant bullets because they felt it captures the mission of deflecting unhealthy stereotypes and unrealistic expectations that is often aimed and shot at young people

As an Army, I would personally like to enlighten people about BTS struggles. Everybody knows where BTS are right now if you are in South India and at Times of India, Reader Seniority Times recently covered about BTS performing permission to dance on Top talk about sustainable growth at the UN. Bts are among handful. Or rather, I would say one of the three artists who perform at the UN and Grammy nominee BTS. Yes, they are Grammy nominee. All the armies all around the world proud of

He came out and started his own agency but competitive World and Courier did not give a warm welcome. If you listen to the song C a hidden track from Love Yourself her album. The song would have talked about how they got very little opportunity just because they are from a small agency. They did not even get a chance to take part in any of the variety shows in Korea. But it's BTS I would rather say another name for BTS is determination and never give up attitude
Their struggles range from facing mental issues, overcoming financial struggles and anxiety from being separated from their family. They don't really shy away from talking about mental issues which they have faced before. So a lot of people tend to find them relatable. They have one of the most loyal fan bases ever. And I've literally seen army trying to defend Pts all over the Internet. So I want to know, why are they so loved? And why is their fan base so loyal to them

For an instance, there is a song named DreamLove from BTS World, which is a collaboration between the BTS members and Charlie XEX. Charlie has herself mentioned in an interview that she initially wrote the song to be a club mixed song. Jin a Twitter post. She explained the song was originally about falling in love with someone in the club because they had the flow about them. But now if you listen to the song, the song is about chasing one own stream. There are many other such instances
Of course it is like the name suggests it's like whom or which member you tend to like more among the group and another one called a bias record who's a member whom you kind of also like it so much that it makes you question the loyalty you have to your bias. And BT 21, which is BTS's collaboration with line friends where they've made their own cutle characters. So yes, what are a few of the terms that you know that I missed? Please let us know

Yeah, that's a fair and interesting point. There is one saying that fashion is all about confidence and how you carry yourself. We a member loves Kuchi and they are also brand ambassadors or Louis Vuitton or not. They have also inspired many people across the globe to embrace themselves, even in fashion. A lot of boy art me are crazy about earrings and their dressing style. They are not the icon of Central Bendo

Well, that's a very hard thing to do. Limiting my favorite talks to Jest Three. Let me see first would always be Spring Day. Just listen to it. And it was was dedicated to those who lost their life in a ferry boat disaster in South Korea. It is a very heartbreaking story. No one had the courage to stand up and talk about it. But BTS did. Spring is all about flower blossoms and cherry blossoms and a happy happy place

I personally consider that also as a life lesson. You don't have to listen or react to the bad comments or hatred. Just focus on what you're doing. Instead, they get really hurt when 'army' gets hurt that I can vote for sure and it's vice versa. Always. Pts protect Army, army protect pts
