68 year old Grandma ARMY here. This is exactly what I have been saying. Now that BTS has done this we will see other groups doing the same. Again BTS Paved The Way.
There are lots of us ARMY who are grandparents! I’m 68, too. 😊
I am the same age too,and I respect them and I love them a lot💜💜💜BTS
Me too💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Love these young men and will always stand by them!! 67 year old ARMY Gramma❤
I'm 65 and love the talent but more importantly what genuine good men they are and looking forward and improving individual in music and self improvement but they love each other deeply. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I keep on saying this .. the younger members could easily have gone to serve at a later time but they chose to go in the peak of their careers just so they could come back together ! That’s a TEAM ! Thats SELFLESSNESS and THATS LOVE !!!!
So true
💜
They deserve to be out of the public eye to prevent oversaturation
@@khplaylistyt9729Absolutely!! Having the time off for their worthy national service is a tradition in South Korea began because we Americans were there with their nation during their very tough years in the 40s and the 50s when North Korea, China, and Russia planned to cut up South Korea.
You can read the permutations of their joint and separate desire for the peninsula. It is a rather terrifying concept of what those three nations wanted with the bottom line creating variations of slavery and servitude for the citizens.
There would have been nothing of the free and very brilliant, vibrant culture we know now!!
Very personally, I have never been able to understand why anyone believes that history is a waste of time!! It tells us who, what, and where we are in living our current lives.
AND IF THIS NATION OF THE BARELY USA REHIRES DJT, WE WILL GET THE DICTATOR THAT SO MANY ARE ACTUALLY CLAMORING FOR. PEOPLE ARE WORKING TOWARD THAT RESULT. MOST OTHERS ARE HOPING THAT JOE BIDEN - WHO HAS QUIETLY BEEN STACKED UP MANY TOTALS ON THINGS HE IS ACCOMPLISHING THAT PEOPLE WONDERED WHEN HE HAS HAD THE TIME.
THE DIFFERENCE IS THE JOE SPEAKS OF "WHAT 'WE' HAVE BEEN DOING" BECAUSE HE WORKED AS ONE PERSON IN A LARGE NETWORK. IT'S SO FINE A CONCEPT OF NEIGHBORS BEING TOGETHER IN A PROJECT!! IMAGINE THE RESULTS RATHER THAN ONE PERSON TAKING ALL OF WEIGHT AND --- COLLAPSING.
OPEN YOUR EYES AND EARS FOR FIVE DAYS, IF YOU HAVE NOT HEARD OF THESE THINGS HAPPENING IN YOUR AREAS!!!@

So true!!💜
They keep saying that BTS doesn't leave room for other kpop groups, but forget that BTS didn't just follow their predecessors like sheep but crossed the barrier to discover other musical genres and other things. I have been an Army since their beginning and proud of them.
Even if they want to BTS can't just leave, because ARMY are too attached to them.
Look, its been 2 years, yet ARMY are craving for BTS so much.
What would happen if they left for more? ARMY would be shattered into pieces .
Maybe ARMY are too attached to BTS 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔???? but BTS also are attached to ARMY
Creo que a ella no le gusta Taehyung
Should they suppress their talent? It’s just unavoidable that others don’t reach their level. It is really hard to reach. It’s like Mozart and Salieri. In face of genius the good turn mediocre.
@@agb.7294si lo mencionó en su vídeo, una línea sobre su visión cinematográfica en su trabajo solista, y es que si menciona a detalles los talentos de cada miembro, el video se haría de 3 horas mínimo. Creo que eligió lo más sobresaliente de cada uno.
STRAY KIDS IS THE KING OF KPOP,,
In case the younger armies are wondering why they have a strong silver army you have to understand the philosophy of many of the top groups of our youth which was Sex, drugs and drink, and using their fans not loving them. They may have made great music but too many youth followed their habits until their untimely end. So many of the so called idols of our day died of drug related incidences it was sad. Some over time turned around and became better people but I know of no other group that made their fans better people. I so wish there would have been a group like BTS when I was young but I am happy to relive my youthful years with BTS now. I am 72 yrs this year and they keep me young and happy. Their music is some of the best I have ever heard even from those heralded as the best. I do not recall one group so versatile, so talented, so humble, so philanthropic and just so lovely. They are everything we wanted in a group when we were young but had to wait a long time to find one, but are glad we have found them even now. Armies do you know how lucky you are to be able to grow old with them, I envy you.
So well said! Being 60 just this year, this is one of the biggest reasons I’m ARMY, because this group and each member are just decent human beings with a passion for music. They aren’t the typical music star of yesteryear and I really can’t think of one that did anything much FOR THE FANS. it was all about the money most of the time. These guys are the hardest worker performers I have ever seen! And what you said about the only band to make their fans better people… just totally on point. They are always encouraging and caring towards ARMY. And kindness is precious commodity these days. In my heart and mind these men are precious!
Here's a HUG for you my sister ARMY Boomer!🤗 Borahae!💜
Thank you so much for putting into words the exactly what I was thinking. 70 yrs old and remember far too well the times we went thru and the friends we lost. I could have used their words many times.
Cât de frumos ați scris ! Mulțumim tare mult 🙏,mesajul dumneavoastră exprima gândul multor ARMY . Eu am un băiețel și când am descoperit Bts m-am bucurat enorm ca pot urmări impreuna cu el muzica și videoclipuri care nu au nimic vulgar ,m-am bucurat ca am descoperit o trupa extraordinara ,de la care poate învață ce e Filantropia ,buna creștere ,respectul ptr cel de lângă tine ,faptul ca nu se droghează
Beautifully said, ❤
Army grandma here. In my 66 years of life I have never had an idol in the music scene. I’ve seen many musicians and actors that were fabulous but no one ever inspired me like these 7 Korean boys. I’ve been wanting to write RM a letter to thank him for his leadership, expressing my gratitude also to the other members. Their art is simply divine and could only be produced by their personalities that glow with their beautiful souls. Thank you BTS.
Foarte frumos mesaj 👏👏👏❤❤❤
Namjoons album is on 24th may and a pre release song on 10th may with a music video
This is what I have been trying to tell my friends for a long time! Its not just about liking them and their music, its much deeper and they encourage you be true to yourself! Being an ARMY has thought me a lot of things and i will be forever greatful!
Just one of the reasons I adore them (and there are a lot) they are Not committed to one genre of music, they are all over the place, in All Genres. They are Anything but boring. They are so versatile. They do everything, all the time. Besides being personal with their fans, who could not love them?!
STRAY KIDS IS THE KING OF KPOP.
Why do you think that Grandma’s love BTS. The reason I love them is they have beautiful manners,they are individually extremely talented,there is absolutely nothing they can’t do stage wise, or when they are recording there songs. They can all dance,and songs are really memorable. My children and grandchildren can’t believe I’m a true fan. So BTS please keep fit healthy,and happy while serving your country. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I think that's the reason why so many people of all ages and walks of life love them. They make us feel seen, feel loved and listened to and most of all, make us feel beautiful and accepted. They truly are angels who will love anybody without judgement. This is why they have my loyalty and love for life.
They may have left an empty throne but Army has taken on the responsibility to hold it for them by faithfully waiting and contributing to their presence. 💜
Yes that's true✅
💯💯💯👍💜
Amen 💜
STRAY KIDS IS THE KING OF KPOP.
Just like how igris protected the throne of shadow monarch 🤧
Beautifully said! I'm a 85 year old Army Grandma and truly believe BTS will be loved long after I am gone. 💜💜🥰💜💜
pleave live on grandma 💜💜💜
RESPECT! 💜
Love you army grandma ❤❤❤❤❤ i hope you live more than hundrend years❤❤❤
Love you Grandma. I'm a Grandma too but equals as Armys. How about that young Armys? We love the same music and of course The B, the T , and the S. BTS!BTS! BTS!
BTS makes us feel seen, loved and is such a light in our lives no matter our ages. I just want to send you some love Army Grandma 💜💜
1000% agree. Haters use to worry about one group now they have to worry about one group and seven solo artists. Be careful what you wish for. Well said. 👏🏽💜
100% agree 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Agree, but in BTS we value their personality, charisma and great positive impact they’ve brought for the world, not only their creativity
BTS a kpop group is paving their new road for2025. They are 7 wonders even in military.Awards after awards during their absence. The great operation executed plan prior military, no other artists had done. BTS PAVED THE WAY Again.... 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜👍

I remember when BTS announced taking a break from group activities at their 2022 festa and my heart dropped and I screamed in my head “No! I only had less than 1 year since I found you! I was heart broken. After a few days I started processing my emotions and thoughts and came up with solutions for myself to deal with what I thought was going to be a huge void. Well, BTS members proved me wrong in my feelings and thoughts. They planned and organized their “taking a break from group activities” so well that it amazed me. They worked so hard so that we wouldn’t be lonely by their absence as a group. They are so amazing to do this for us and always having army in the forefront of their hearts. I sorely miss them as a group but they didn’t leave us high and dry. The well is full. Thank you for this segment.
This is such a beautiful post. 🥲🥹
👏👏👏🫰🫰🫰
I’d only recently found them before that Festa, too, and consoled myself with thinking at least there was a wealth of previous content to discover. And then they kept on coming out with content! I’m deep into BTS at this point and even have an official ARMY membership.
I’m 50 and have never stanned any group before but I’m in this for life 💜
I'm crying at Festa 2022.... Afraid of missing them... But.... In fact ... They give us full content.... I love BTS so much....❤
When I became army, they were already enlisting soon. I really regretted being army so late. But I am here to stay. 💜
I'm a 70 year old army. Bts found me when you need them the most. I promised my granddaughter that we would go the BTS concert while i can
I am a great Grandma and I love and will love BTS as the Human Beings they are and love their music forever
Me too, namjoons album is coming with a pre release song on 10th may with a music video
Rock and roll grandma here. Never got into Pop music, boy bands, nor even K-Pop. But I’ve been an ARMY since the beginning of 2018 and will support BTS forever.
Rock & metal heads are loyalist
So true!!
Me too❤
I am also a Grandmother and l discovered BTS in 2018,l feel in love with their song Fake Love.
@@user-gl2ho7js9y I fell in love with Fake Love too. It’s the first BTS mv I saw.
BTS Grandmother here. So proud of these guys. Army and BTS for life. Living Legends who paved the way. Just because artists grows old does not mean they are dispensable. They are cherished for who they are and what they stand for. Their music transcends time and language and barriers. 💜🇺🇸🫰🔥
Send love to granny from a South African Army (ouma)granny.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
You can’t have JK. He is MY (fake) adopted grandson. 💜💜💜 I love them all, but my grandkids are JK’s age and younger so I kid them that he is my adopted grandson. 😊

I discovered BTS 3yrs ago, fabulous. Because I fell upon Agust D/Suga/Min Yoongi songs, First Love, The Last, and Daechwita. Hooked ever since. 🇦🇺
60 years old (1963) American ARMY and couldn't be more proud to be called ARMY! This is one of the best GENUINELY sincere fan bases I've ever seen!. Intelligent, organized, dedicated and who truly celebrate every accomplishments as if they are their own. I even feel grandmotherly affection for all of them. Their talent, abilities, humility, joy and love for ARMY'S is the coolest thing that's ever been created. BTS+ARMY=BULLETPROOF
Ty Army that was beautifully said 🫴💋 I'm 66 and I love my boys They have made my days more meaningful and I also cry and laugh with them I'm so proud of all their accomplishments and they're not done there is more to arrive so let's keep spreading the love Army has for BTS WE PURPLE YOU 💜🐿💜🐨💜🐻💜🐈💜🦙💜🐣💜🐰💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🫴💋 YOU KNOW💜💜💜💜✨💜💜💜💜💜💜✨💜💜💜💜💜💜🌹💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🩰💜💜💜❣️💜💜💜💜💜💜💜👑💜💜💜💜🪖💜💜💜💜💜💜🫡💜💜💜💜💜💜🕺🏼💜💜💜💜🥰💜💜💜💜💜💜💜☑️💜💜💜💜💜💜😬💜😑💜😴💜🙄💜🫰💖💜💜💜💜💜💜💜✨💜

Absolutely spot on 62 years old Army! They are the best group in my lifetime! Army isn’t going anywhere!! Love OT7 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm 71 years old, grandma. BTS has paved the way and is still doing it. They will come back strong. I know life goes on. BTS will always be special in hearts 💕 and minds of army all over the world. I pray for them every day. They where chosen to do something special .
You can feel it in the near-rage from stans of other groups. They envisioned this massive vacuum where most ARMY would try out and also fall in love with their groups.
We tried to warn them that many of us aren't generic k-pop fans & we aren't going anywhere.
Ah, yes. It gave me a bit of a laugh at the time, to see them saying, 'Great, once BTS is gone, we can finally win some awards and break some records.' "Like, do you realize what you just said? That you have to sweep the playing field clear before you can score a goal?"
Though the 'expert' who predicted ARMY would basically get bored and wander off to new things made me 🙄 Well, that may be the case for other groups and other fandoms, but when this fandom is saying, "We'll wait, we'll be here when you get back," the 'expert' really ought to pay attention.
No one will take BTS’s place, especially ARMYs heart. Im an example of a true ARMY. BTS IS STILL ON THE THRONE.
Best statement: "They remain the benchmark."
What has helped BTS is fans from USA and Europe. We never stop loving our performers and many are still rocking the stage in their 70's and they fill stadiums at that age! I am 59 almost 60 and have been following BTS since 2013, I found them about 3 months after their debut. I will be with them until either I go or they decide to put down the torch.
What artists need the most is a loyal fandom, not charting. BTS will always be my first and only group.
@@hoanhuynh7059exactly it's the loyalty sure charting and awards are great but artist sing to cause they want people to listen to there music or messages through it.
I am a 77 year old avid supporter of all BTS platforms. Their performances are mesmerizing and their personalities make every performance exciting and memorable. I start every day with their smiles and end every day with their music.
Thank you for this. It has been so painful with all the hate. This eases my heart a little.
As V said on Suchwita -"One thing I can confidently say is that BTS worked harder than anyone for the past 10 years."
69 year old grandma army
With all the haters seen lately I’m more determined to keep their legacy alive and will always support them
I’ve ever seen a more talented humble kind group
They have taught me how to love myself
Thank you for this series
I love that Army was ready to carry them through their military service with concentrated streams of one of their songs after the other and then BTS came in with all the content and swept us away. Stan the band that stans you back.
I'm from America and I fell in love with BTS's story they came from nothing so they were naturally humble. To see them start at the very bottom and become the biggest boyband in the world is a true rags to riches story. Their company was on the verge of bankruptcy and they made it with their hard work and talent. From BIG HIT to now forming HYBE is a crazy story.
BTS + ARMY = Eternal Love ...... BTS will never fade.
As a 30 year old I have been following them for years and all I think about when BTS is mentioned is how proud I am of the young men they have grown into from the passionate, innocent and kind boys back in 2014.
The root of this problem is to destroy HYBE. What better way to do that is to attack the top-grossing artists of Big Hit/HYBE? As for copying what another group does, tell me what group doesn’t take part in what another does and incorporate it into what they do. I also highly doubt that a group like BTS needs to copy another group. I have not seen a group yet that can come close to what they do. As for the Cult issue, does anyone believe they are following some cult? Chart manipulation is a joke. The group that dominates everything they do has no reason to manipulate the charts.
What is unique about BTS is their solo success during a so-called hiatus. This has further strengthened the bond among their fandom. So much so that if they need a break in the future we will be okay with it because we will be anticipating new surprises, solo projects, continuation of their documentaries series and Suchwita as well as other new projects they have yet to explore. Let’s not forget we need to know how Jin’s wine turned out!
55yr old not a granny. BUT A SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE GRANNIES WHO COMMENTED 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 I always love the way you set out your discourse. This specific one I truly found encouraging. Suga had mentioned that ARMY has become partners with them - BTS. We can be grateful for the love and care they have put into providing us with so much content. They can not be copied. They are PROFOUND in my eyes. 🎉LOVE TO YOU FOR ALL YOU DO 💜. LYNN From Namibia 🇳🇦 BORAHAE OT7 💜
55 years young from Brazil. I love BTS, specially Jimin. I will be waiting for their comeback.
I love BTS so much, I'm a 65 year old grandmother, and I've been listening & watching everything I can that's BTS. I will NEVER forget what they have done for me. They make me laugh. They are my inspiration to get me through the day. They make me feel young at heart 😢. When they cry, I'm also crying. I don't listen to any other K-pop group, only BTS 💜.
I love how you always refer to them as Kings. They are!
Come back to me song by rm releasing on 10th May

What's funny is that people who learned about BTS right before they went into the Military thought they would have time to catch up before they came back. Oh, how wrong they were. 💜😄💜
YES!!!! Every day I am falling further behind ;) There are only 24 hours a day -- I love them, but I do need to sleep!
That’s me! 🙋🏻♀️
few reactors I've watched thought that and I was laughing so hard😂 I'm ARMY for 4 years and I didn't watched everything and I can't even catch a breath because of new content😂
True we can hardly keep up with all the new content coming out.
So true BTS content is humongous that even if you watched 24/7 won’t be able to catch up.
69 years old grandma HERE, I love BTS so much, they are with me all Days since 2019, they Made me cry and smile all The Time, BTS FOR EVER, Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
As an Army we thought we have some time to catch up on old content we missed and able to save some money for concerts but nope. I think I might need to get another job just for BTS😂
For real 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I didn't.
I knew better and i only became a fan in 2020.
They filled even the smaller breaks and older fans talked about the great month break during their first contract renewal.
I have decided to have faith in them and they have proven that I don't have to be afraid.
Another grandma Army here! I adore BTS with all my heart! 💜💜💜
So many joined army while BTS are in the military. It's amazing
This is my opinion. I think that since they could not break up BTS by them entering into the military. They decide to destroy them through their company HYBE.
Yea, something they know they built with their hardwork
I think so too
Why do you say that?
They have decided to TRY but they will not win that battle. They are just mad because BIGHIT also broke the mold when they didn't micromanage BTS and gave them freedom and support instead of treating them like something to be used and thrown away. So, yeah, they can TRY and break the company but they will never win.. BTS has an ARMY to back them even when they're not here. They will be back and we will still be here cheering them on their way. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Agreed....we've all noticed the anti-BTS, anti-HYBE stories/rumors that started appearing one after the other. It's all sound & fury which won't amount to anything. Jin is out soon & we're all waiting to see what he does - no one will be listening to anything except Jin.
You eloquently put into words how we all feel💜as a late 60’s fan too I’m so happy to see all the older fans here💜get ready for a summer of BTS starting with RM…I believe after a short rest Jin will hit the ground running so let’s get ready💜
Grandma Army here!! I love BTS for their music and message 💜 This is the best palate cleanser❤
Me too. 3 nephews. And all love BTS. ❤
So comforting to hear, thank you so much. I'm a 65 year old black great grandma i love BTS.
I too am a 65 year old African American woman who adore BTS! I've been a lover of music all my life & have had a few particular artists that I've followed because of their musical talent. I found BTS during the pandemic around the time I retired. And I can honestly say that I've never felt the way I feel about these wonderful young men & their music.
@@marshamason-sowell4568 oh my goodness me too,. I found BTS during the Pandamic. My family think I'm crazy lol. But I never felt love like this toward an artist before, and I loved MJ. Hope to see them in 2025💜💜
Hey ladies! It’s so nice seeing other black women who are fans of the boys. I’m also in my 60s and found them during the pandemic. I fell so hard that I went to concerts in LA and Las Vegas and I even started learning Korean at my big age. I can’t explain why I adore them so much but I’m so happy I found them. (P.S. the first concert I attended was The Jackson 5) 💜
@@camille9219 hello so nice to meet you here😊
Nice to meet you too!
Thank you again Fairlane, this was another perfect breakdown. It won't be long now until they're all back, 40 days until Jin returns... they said to trust them and we do - the amount of content they have left for us whilst they're gone is just mindblowing. They deserve a committed fanbase because they are totally committed to Army.
BTS are modern-day living legends and heroes. Their music, messages and actions positively inspire all ages despite the language gap.
Hi I’m one of the grandmas for BTS 70+ and I gotta tell you I love these precious boys so much. I really get upset when folks talk negative things about them. Their music is so awesome their personalities and their interactions with one another warms my heart. Their devotion to each other and their fans and music is addictive. When they made the decisions to fulfill their duty other fandoms were all happy and I remember leaving a message saying you people had problems when they performed as a group. These boys are like power rangers together they are a force to reckon with what you gonna do when each does their own individual thing and darned if I wasn’t right. Now you have 8 entries to try and keep up with and you won’t be able to catch up. I was right. It warms the cockles of my heart😂😂. By the way I love love your channel.
Lol you said Power Rangers and I was thinking Voltron... powerful and strong as individuals but watch out when they're together!
@@sujimtangerines LOL you got it right. I knew it was one if them. You got what I meant. It’s been a while. 🤣💜🤣💜
BT’s record will never change
I agree with everything you said. I think that the industry was hoping that BTS's military service would weaken the bond between them and Army, and it hasn't. It has grown stronger. Now that we are in the count down period for the return of the 1st member, Jin, I anticipate a surge in Army activity and consumption everything BTS. Army is waiting eagerly and once Jin returns, the joy and the rallying behind BTS will bump up with every member that returns from the military service. I think this scares all of those that were hoping for an opening with their military service, and that is one of the reasons why we see such a bump of malicious rumors etc right before Jin's return.
It's their substance that keeps them in this great grandmother's heart.
I am BTS ARMY and I am 45 yrs... I would never have looked into K-pop had it not been for BTS and I will forever belong to my BTS... their ARMY forever... BTS paved the way and BTS will keep paving the way for many more things... Just waiting for their come back in 2025... now just waiting for whatever they have left in store for us... They love us and we love them... Borahae BTS
Hello BTS … I am 78 and ARMY. My daughter and granddaughter are fans too. These 7 guys set a standard not only for K-pop but also for other bands/groups internationally. They are so generous with their donations as well as their music & devotion to ARMY. They speak to teens as well as us “older teens” who are young at heart. I hope they continue to bless us with their presence for a long time in any way they choose. I am so glad to see all the great grannies, grannies and aunties responding. I love being around younger and older generations. The next concert is on my bucket list. Thanks for this message. These guys are just awesome people.💜 x 7🇺🇸
Welp, haters now be afraid. 1 group and 7 solo artists. Bangtan will always be 7. Am excited for Namjoon's album and Jin's return from the military. Who says stanning a group is not adventurous at all? LOL
Yes! Perfectly said. 63 yr old Army here, since 2017. BTS is stand-alone in so many ways. I will be ARMY til I die. Their creativity runs deep and wide. Their projects are all intetesting and inspired. And personally their levels of commitment, integrity and authenticity are off the charts. So. Much. Respect. I have for them.
WOOHOO! SO EXCITED FOR JINs RETURN NEXT MONTH! WELCOME BACK JIN!!💜🫶🏽🎉
🫨🫨🫨I'm soooo excited to see Jim again💜
Did you listened his last post? He said he is coming to us!!! So sweet!!!
yasss!!!! 🎉
Counting down. I was in the military and the last month military folks say "29 and a wakeup" as a countdown to their last day. I'm doing it for Jin
63 year old ARMY here. Thank you for saying this so concisely! This really broke down what ARMY has know all along but sometimes found it hard to put into words. Great job!
This 74yr old BTS fan would be right here waiting for their return. I never in my wildest dreams would think that I would a boy band so much. Not only for their great talents and good looks but for their wholesomeness gives listening to music such joy. I love BTS
Another grandma here who adored,cherished and love BTS.❤
I'm 63 yo and extremely proud to be BTS ARMY forever. I started following them in 2014 and became Army 2015. They share their artistry and personal feelings with us. From business manners, performances, and their chaotic crazy humor. They actually care about their fans. They know how to make us happy in life, find joy in ourselves, to care about others. With true feelings, they laugh and cry with us as their music soothes your soul. They are like family, you protect family. 🙆♀️💜

KPop outside of HYBE, Big Hit, BTS and ARMYs will never learn and will never follow BTS’ blueprint coz they’re too envious, stubborn and stupid to admit that BTS broke the KPop norms, raised the standard and paved the way for KPop if not for the whole South Korea. BTS is the best! There’s nothing like BTS! 💜💜💜
BIG FACTS!!!!!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
AGREED! At this point we can all agree on that BTS has nothing to do with the Kpop industry anymore!
RM calls them "a frog in the well".
Not only for SK but the world. I'm an older ARMY as well and I have never ever adored a group as I do BTS. It's because of who they are and what they bring and share not only with ARMY but for the world to see and hopefully heal. They are good humans and I've come to love them. Enjoying aaaallll the things they've left for us to enjoy while they need to be away.. who else has ever done that for their fans? 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

You are one of the best narrators and story tellers I've ever seen. There are already a few college lectures about BTS (in future to be more, I'm sure). They seem to be aligned by the stars or at least some universal energy that holds things together. When I first saw them on SNL 5 years ago, I really was sitting on my couch waiting to die. But this story is familiar by now... the next morning I just wanted to know their names. And the more I knew the more I wanted to know. I grew up as the oldest of 7 children in one big Irish family and instead of seeing the differences in American culture and Asian culture all I saw were the similarities. I have no doubt that they will continue to bring a happy, peaceful aura into the lives of the people who can see them and feel the joy they seem destined to spread around the globe. They gave me the best hobby an old lady could wish for (making YT videos). I wish I was young enough to grow old with them... I'm 76 and I really want to be here when they come back in 2025. 🕊😇🌹💜
Iam sure you will be. My mom is 95 and still going iam 60. Think positive. Don't limit yourself.
@@belindacox8330 Thank you. 🕊😇
I think they have become more handsome as they have aged. They have come into their own. They were not forced to appease their audience with s/exuslity. They won their fans over with good music, excellent performances and their charming personalities. They have accomplished so much because of their talent and hard work. Army will always stand with BTS because we are in a mutual love and respect relationship. We have cried and laughed together for many years now and we will walk through this life together. ApoBangpo.

BTS is really different. I have never seen any boy band after The Beatles, that has this charisma worldwide. I consider myself lucky that I have known in my lifetime, The Beatles and now BTS. But I am more proud because they are from Asia., just like me. Just really excited for 2025, I want to see them perform again! Praying for their health and safety always so that they can make more Army's happy and stay in this business for a long time. They are legends in the making. Thank you for always giving us sensible topics and insights in your vlog. God bless❤
In my opinion, I feel BTS is different than the Beatles, in a good way. The members of BTS are good, sincere, people who care about and communicate with their fans and share with us.. something the Beatles never really did. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
@@crystaldragon8211 Absolutely! I agree with you. Not only they are global, classy performers, but very very sincere in what they do and what they say. I agree with you.
I feel it also helped that each and every BTS member is well loved so they can release individual activities and do extremely well! Other groups might have only a few strong members who can succeed in being a solo artists while the rest of the members are not strong enough to uphold the group while on military. BTS is the exception!
Bts really set the blueprint to be able to have long careers, but also making sure they get time to enjoy their personal endeavors. I believe many boy groups will follow this outline. Great video!!!!
I love BTS but not sure what you mean by setting the blueprint for longer career in this industry, there are many second generation kpop groups still going strong after 10-15+ years.
@@kristinelson5894 BTS created enough content ahead of time to be able to keep their relevancy in the industry.
I do believe they will be in the industry for a long time, I simply meant they aren't the first to do so. Same as they weren't the first Kpop to be on an American talk show or perform/win on an American awards show.
63 year old Swedish woman. And i love BTS.
bts is not only a superstar boyband. it's a boyband made up of seven superstars. now try to beat that.
yes a group of 7 amazing successful solo Artists that make up THE global Super Group.
😊❤👍💜
76 year old Gandma here, being comforted by their absence by re-watching old BTS shows, their dance practices, music videos, live concerts, their solo projects etc. I still won't be able to catch up before they all come back in 2025😊😅 Not complaining though, I enjoy my BTS fix every day👍💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 OT7 FOREVER❣❣

I was worried that BTS would end up like BigBang (minus the scandals). We thought they would come back after enlistment and they never did. BUT, BTS is different. I have faith we (ARMY & BTS) will be in no time reunited and soar further than ever before.
I agree that BTS has created a blueprint. But not too many artists can follow. One of the many things that sets them apart from others is their hard working nature, their resilience, and their love for each other and their fans. Yes other artists now see what they need to do, but not all have the mental strength to carry it out. It’s not all fun and games. It’s an exhausting, sometimes degrading (due to antis), grind….many will give up along the way. And not all groups enjoy being in the group. It only takes one person to call it quits and the whole thing crumbles. All the hate BTS went through when they were up and coming…many would have already given up at that time. Even now, they’re THE BIGGEST group in the world, you would think they’re so high up that they’re immune from naysayers, but look at what people are doing now to try and bring them down even though they are in the military serving their country. It’s actually crazy
No disrespect, but I think BTS's saving grace is it's global fans - we grew up Knowing that GOOD MUSIC is worth the wait!!!
MJ! 💜💜💜
As long as we know they'll be back, we'll be waiting!
💜💜💜😄😄😄
That's what I think Korean are different from other as an Arabian we love and listen to our favorite artist even after their death like Om Klthom
MJ? Irrelevant. Unless you want to bring Sinatra, Elvis, Beatles, into the conversation.
@@1badlibrarian Yep, all of them. If the released music every 2 yrs or so.
The Point Was - We Can & Will Wait for their return!
😄😄😄💜💜💜
Jin was never mentioned for your discussion about depth...
@@1badlibrarian WTF?
I am a 60 years old Army, my family are amazed by how big of a BTS fan I am, because my kids are older than them. I love ❤️ BTS, because of the hardships they went through and never gave up, they are humble, loving, caring and they truly love Army just as much as we love them. I love their music and the energy it gives. BTS is successful, because they care, respect one another and they support each other, they are a family. We are a strong based fans of BTS, because we went down that road with them when they were struggling and underdogs, we will be with them forever. Army loves ❤️ them, because of who they are, excellence.
Kpop fans are saying BTS and HYBE ruined kpop and its not like it used to be. But from day one they were always doing something against the kpop norm, they didn't take any oath to stick to and uphold kpop traditions.
They are also saying BTS is getting preferential treatment because how can they be releasing albums when they are enlisted. But obviously other companies just didn't look into the law and and policies to realize that they could actually do that. But BTS had the desire to leave content for their fans and so they looked into how to do that, legally.
Yes the accuses BTS and HYBE of breaking the law. Errm they aren't working while serving they made these things BEFORE their entry. Just like any other South Korean Artist who makes something and it' goes into a gallery to be sold it can be sold and that money is entered into their bank accounts. Just people do not understand they jump onto band wagons without fact checking or logical thinking. Or they do understand and just want to stir up hate and controversy. ugggh.
The ARMYs in this comment section are so mature and sweet.. Borahae 💜💜💜
I'm a Grandma Army and an old rocker. BTS really found me when I needed them the most. I wasn't even listening to music at the time because I was so depressed, but then they magically fell into my life with their music & stories of determination. They sang, rapped & danced their way right into my heart. I don't need or want another group & no one could ever replace them for me. I'm in this for life & couldn't be more proud of these amazing young men 💜
41 one days to Jin coming home. We still have his activities, including an album, his traditional whiskey too. Still have JK's docu series and his and Jimin's travel show. I'm sure there's plenty more because JHope comes home in Oct. They more than delivered. I told my sister I was glad they were going on a hiatus because I needed one myself because as a one year new ARMY I have been downloading a firehose of content dailyLOL. Well - as it turns out, thinking they would be producing less was a lie hahahahahahaha
Their music is timeless. They are good humans. They are multi-talented. Their fanbase is growing even while away. Every day I come across new fans who think they are just listening to the surface, then they start going down the rabbit hole and start realizing their own love for BTS. They are super lovable.
At 72 I am so proud of BTS. They have given me joy and great pleasure as I follow their journey having become an Army just 3 years ago. My first experience was Mic Drop followed by Black Swan, two very different performances, I was hooked. I love them to pieces.
Sincerity is hard to overcome. BTS sincerely love music, each other, and their fans.
One of the main reasons I love these boys so much is that I came onto them in a very unconventional way. I saw their interactions with Army through social media and was fascinated. It was at least a month before I seriously even listened to a song. I especially hit Run BTS hard. Added to their impressive array of talents, they are all natural comedians. Well, maybe not RM lol.
So I became Army through their social presence alone. Meaning I saw each of their personalities play out over the years long before I ever listened to their music. The music was always an aside to me as I was a diehard metalhead (LOL). The boys and who they were, was always the most important to me. I think I formed a deeper bond because of this, idk, but it sure was fun, lol.
One day it struck me as odd that I hadn't listened to any of their music so I finally started digging though their impressive catalog. You can probably imagine my surprise when I heard how good their music was long after I had become Army of sorts. :)
Bts has a lot of metal head fans. Boracity magazine has a video about how bts are rockstars. That might give you some insight why you’d be drawn to them. I wasn’t a metal head, but I enjoy music with meaning or displays passion, that’s how I got drawn to their music
The rm slander though 😅😂
RM is also a comedian though like the other members, all are.. u should see pisck show episode when he was promoting indigo
@@yesitis034 Oh, yes, that was so much fun. I keep recommending that...and going back to watch it again. I've never seen RM so relaxed and having such a good time on an interview- only with his members.
I only became ARMY in January this year (after watching the Beyond the Star documentary), and initially I thought it was a blessing in disguise for me that they were all in the military, so I had some time to catch up on 10 years of content... WRONG! There has been no time to simply catch up because the content has not stopped! It's been 4 months and I feel like I've loved them a lifetime. They truly are something special, and they keep breaking the mould - beautifully summarised and articulated in your video, thank you. 보라해💜
Mee too. I also became their fan after watching that documentary and Run BTS episodes!
I think for me, their sincerity and genuineness of their music and personalities totally sets them apart. They want to give to Army.
I'm a 45-year-old ARMY. BTS were forced to leave their throne to go to war but the ARMY is there to protect their throne. And remember we are the biggest ARMY in this whole wide world, we can populate a small country. We will continue to increase our numbers and spread our territory while waiting for our kings to return. No one can take over the throne because ARMY will protect it
"Come back to me"song by rm releasing on 10th May
"Right Place Wrong Person" album by rm releasing on 24th May
Yes❤💜👍
Thank you for articulating this so well. I am an older Army and I am so grateful to these 7 young men. They have touched and changed my life. Just so proud of them and proud to be an Army.
We tried to tell them, BTS had to enlist, not ARMY.
We also tried to point out that they had renewed their contracts and tour '25 preparation was underway, and got everything from, 'No they didn't' to 'Well, that just means they'll work as solo artists for a little while before they disband' to 'There's no way they'll tour that soon.' People don't want to listen to ARMY, and that is why Karma is an ARMY.
I guess I just didn’t understand Kpop, because I didn’t know that groups came and went. I still listen to The Red Hot Chili Peppers and go see them in concert-same for Coldplay. The Rolling Stones still tour, and it is my genuine hope that BTS does this too, as long as they still enjoy performing and creating music. I think they could be a group like the other groups and artists mentioned. I think we have given them freedom to do whatever they like in the future. Borahae! 💜
Loved them since 2021 retired 73yo gmama from Sydney Australia ❤❤❤
RM will be releasing his 2nd solo album this month and next month we will welcome back our moon! Jin is coming home 💜 I never felt the hiatus at all. 😅
Love the Silver Army representing 😊
you couldn’t have made it more clear. its pure poetry so beautifully laid out. You have taken every twisted piece of my soul and mind on them and put it into perfect narrative. Thank you so much . I could never fully understand how to explain them to myself and others why i am so captivated by them and their works but you have done an amazing job. Thank you 😭💜💜💜
Me! Orange Crush! I’m a granny that LOVES BTS
The symbiotic relationship between BTS and ARMY is a huge part of what keeps me and many others engaged. ARMY help in explaining the depth of BTS content by bringing their own areas of expertise to the table. Being in a country far from Korea with a different language made it difficult to even find some content in the early days. But ARMY were there to share their enjoyment, links, translations, areas of expertise, humour and wisdom on many different platforms. ARMY as a whole have such humanity. If you try to ignore the accounts that give air to hate and bots then ARMY areas of social media can be a warm and joyful place to hang out in. BTS and ARMY give us more of what's needed to heal the World. I enjoy your rational, well thought out and intelligent content. Thank you 🌸🍃
I loved how you publicly said what I was thinking about for a long time now! Haters had one group to compete against, now they have a group and 7 soloists 🙈 I can't believe how small minded some people are. Good for us, good for BTS, let's support them for life!
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Nice! Substance & heart… BTS are never boring, and are fulfilling in an ongoing, multidimensional, & ever-developing way. It’s hard for people who don’t know them to understand, but it’s so real. Thanks💜
Thanks to their closed bond with army and silent Army . When army says we will protect BTS this is the evidence that we got. This is it.
There is no other group that I know of that has the popularity as BTS. Maybe the Beatles,(way back 65 years ago) They have lifted the bar so high no other groups will be able to catch up. As a group or as soloists,none can compare. I have been around since the 60's,seen alot of groups(some still around) ,but none has stuck out as much as BTS and ARMY. That relationship will go down in history for future generations to learn from.
55 year old ARMY for life. BTS was there during some of my darkest moments and my happiest as well.
55 too. I found BTS in '21 when my husband suddenly passed away. They helped me through so much. Their lyrics transcend the language barrier and them personally put "it" all out there. There isn't one of them I feel less connected too.
@@garydemers3249 I am sorry for your loss. I am glad you found the peace you needed through BTS. I was introduced to the group from my daughter who was there when they debuted in 2013. Last year we were lucky enough to travel to Korea twice to visit the locations where they filmed their videos as well as Jimin’s family cafe. I am excited for their comeback next year!
They are trusting us with their music releases. Jhope trusts us. We still have time before RM’s comeback to show Hobi our love.
YAAASSSS!!! Yes! Yes! Yeeesss!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Has a grandmother of 68 years I have witnessed artists with longevity in the western world so hearing you say that many k idols have disappeared after serving there country is so sad 😞 I hope the k pop world changes this short term outlook and continues to support there talented idols grow into mature artists who have more to give in terms of there music I personally canot wait to see what bts have to give us when they reunite
72 ARMY HERE, I'M SO HAPPY I FOUND BTS, THEY GIVE ME JOY EVERY SINGLE DAY. SO THANK YOU BTS. THANK YOU SO MUCH AND AS ALWAYS I TOTALLY LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. MUCH LOVE.
