I don’t think I’ve ever seen a huge fandom that’s done good in the name of their artist like this. Whatever those boys are doing, they’re doing it right. Kudos to all those trying to make the world a better place
May M Thankyou for your kind words. BTS have always been bold in speaking out on all kinds of social issues in both their daily lives and their music, and I their example has really reflected in this fandom as a whole. I’ve genuinely never met a kinder group of people than ARMYs and I’m very proud to be one
This is the BTS Army. We're not just screaming, wild teens most outsiders think of. BTS are extraordinary people who have always been inspiring people and giving out positive impacts in our lives. The charity projects are constantly being done by Armys around the world, for local organizations as well as international. And some just do random projects on their own, showing acts of kindness and compassion to less fortunate people. Because BTS has always been that way even before they were called global superstars. Thank you MTV for showing that being BTS Army is more than just fangirling over cute boys. Cause BTS is definitely more than that. They're not your average boyband.
I fucking Hate homosexuals,bts and fortnite no actually. People that are so bored with life, insecure about themselves and are so full of hate (you’re a good example) think that. BTS are just singers who have achieved a lot because of their fans. Bangtan were poor people fighting for their family at one stage so don’t hate on them. You can hate on army as much as you want because I honestly don’t like most people in this fandom anyways but don’t go attacking people directly because it’s fucking annoying
I’m a 47 year old white Christian Canadian that used to be fearful but Suga really inspired me to the point that I traveled to Seoul last spring. I met a 24 year old Muslim American in an alley outside my guesthouse and helped her find her guesthouse. Why are u in korea? She said she loves kpop. Me too!!! We both said BTS and I said j-hope is my hope and Suga is my inspiration. We spent everyday together and in June we are going back with 2 other Armies- a 25 yr old korean male and 24 year year old student born in Africa living in the states. That’s the power of BTS-bringing people together. 💜💜💜💜
Tanya Lee, I'm a 53 year old Asian female and what BTS has done for me is give me renewed purpose in life. As I begin to lose a few of my friends to sickness, I strive to hang on to life by a thread and BTS is that thread. MTV is right. BTS and ARMY is a movement! A move to change the world one day and one person at a time so it can be a better place.
I'm 40. I have discovered BTS in October 2017. I have less anxiety also thanks to Suga. JungKook saved my life last year 2x with only one cover he posted and with his G. C. P pictures of Malta.
@@BTSARMY-qp6uy she meant that this relation will not happen again (IN future for any fans as it is very special that can never happen with any other group except BTS itself) right?
Yesterday, I went to burn the stage, and realized that I loved everyone in the room (even though they pretty much ignored me, cries), and I came home to find a random discord message saying that her love and support for us was limitless. I met another army at school once, and when she said 'army', heart emojis filled my vision. That's how much I love y'all, despite having never met you. You are loved. Army is really such a loving family. Thank you so much for giving me that, and for giving the world so much of your time and effort. Because MTV is right, we really make a difference.
My girlfriend and I attended the BTS Love Yourself Speak Yourself concert at the Rose Bowl in SoCal on May 4th. It was my very first concert in my life. I am not an Army but the reason why I attended is because my girlfriend was attending. I didn't want her to go alone. It was an awesome experience! Especially with the "Army Wave" going on while they wait for BTS for almost like 7 minutes (I wonder why). It's amazing to see how Army unites. I want to thank my girlfriend for bringing me, Army for their enthusiasm and BTS for an outstanding performance and making my first ever concert experience paramount. :)
40 year old ARMY here. I love those guys. Quality content in their music, beautiful inspirational uplifting lyrics that anyone can relate to, great personalities, humble, I can go on and on. These guys deserve all the praise they get and I really don't understand how anyone could hate on them.
64 year old ARMY here.. I wake up listening to BTS, getting ready for work, walking to work, catching bus, at lunch and then on my way home and before I sleep.. No I am not a fan of BTS I am obsessed with them. Could you tell. my granddaughter laughs and calls me the biggest Army fan she knows. Hey who can't love them they are GREAT.. Keep it up guys I will love you forever.
Lia Shiray I don’t think differences and different view points are a bad thing - I think they make us stronger! Even when we go through tough times, we come out the other side with a better understanding of each other. I’ve learned so much from this fandom and I wouldn’t trade it for the world 💜 and you’re absolutely right about streaming and supporting 💜😊
I'm a 37 year old married man and I am proud to be part of BTS Army. People mock me for liking a Korean band made up of younger guys, but that's okay. Because what they see is just superficial things. But what I see is much, much deeper. I see them to be the catalyst to make this world a more united, diverse, and LOVING society. That is a world that I want to live in. That is a world that I long for. That is a world that I want to leave behind to the next generation. To all the ARMY out there, thank you for your generosity, your humbleness, and your perseverance amidst a world that is broken and in despair. I am so proud to be a part of our family. I purple you 💜
Whatever these guys are doing, they are doing it right. Shout out to BTS and their fans for spreading positive messages around the world through their music. 💪💪
2013: ppl - who are they? ppl - made fun of me for liking them 2018: Suddenly everyone's a part of the fandom; ARMYs everywhere It's been SUCH a beautiful journey. So lucky to have seen these LIVING LEGENDS grow! Proud to be an ARMY
Same!! I am feeling so nostalgic nowadays when i see fetus pics of them from 2013, and then my heart just swells with pride for what they/we accomplished!
BTS saved my life. I suffered a lot of bullying at school, I had no friends, I was always sad and alone. In the songs I found hope that tomorrow would be better and that I would be fine. I talked online with army and managed to make incredible friendships. When I tried to commit suicide, the fans, my friends, supported me. BTS gave me friends when I needed them most, gave me hope and reminded me why I still want to live. I have been army for 7 years, with professional help and the Army overcame depression. BTS saved my life. I love them💜 I love ARMYS 💜 Finally i love myself 💜
They say we're cringe, they say we're extra, they say we're crazy...but no one has ever said how United we are. ARMY is a family and will always be there for eachother and for BTS ofc. BTS fighting, ARMY fighting!!
Me too I just become an ARMY so I don't think know that much about bts but I am trying to learn more and more about them I am sorry for being this late
"...just knowing that there are people that I call family that I don't even know their language, we speak through translators but we still consider each other family... to me it represents the kind of world I wanna live in" I purple all of you armys! 💜
18 year old male here proud ARMY..BTS change me a lot..They change my whole perspective in life like i dunno how they do that to me..I can't imagine my life w/o BTS..It's just amazing how their music has a power to inspire and encourage others like no other music can..thank you so much bangtan and army's purple y'all 💜💜💜
I never met friendly fans. Always gotta one up a fan. Buuuut the ARMY, friendly af. Went to the burn the stage movie.. mannnnn everybody was bonding. This is why BTS is so big, their music literally brings people together
Yeah right! I went to see the movie too, I was alone because my ARMY friends aren't close to my city, but I still met many wonderful people in the cinema. "Music and performance transcend countries and languages" (RM)
I saw Burn the Stage opening night and after the credits finished rolling, half the people in the audience were talking to each other about having a sleepover. ARMY IS UNPARALLELED.
dietotaku yessss. Same at the movie theater I went to. Like everybody EVERYBODY was talking to each other. It was amazing to see so many strangers bonding.
Anna yeah I saw more than a hand full of people coming in by them self but that didn’t last long because everybody started to bond over BTS. It was beautiful to see everybody getting along and fangirly
@@stephc2393 totally We start sharing popcorn and then we're laughing at random comments and at the end of the movie everybody was talking and laughing bouy the moments they liked best. It's beautiful.
Some people think that most of ARMYs are toxic. But truly, were just a caring and loving fandom who treasure BTS and treat each and every ARMY as a family. Im very honored to be apart of this beautiful family. No matter who you are, this family will always accept you for you. Even if we all dont know eachother that well, we ARMYs will always accept anyone who loves our boys. This fandom really is worth to call family. We ARMYs are gonna stay with BTS no matter what even if its the last of our breathes. BTS AND ARMY ARE FAMILY. BORAHAE💜
@@markrblx4732There are around 90 million Armys and not all of them are on Twitter. Please don’t form your opinions on the fandom by what some immature people say on Twitter.
This makes me feel special for being an army, since people around me would make fun of me for liking them and would say BTS is trash so I was so glad when I found out my own mom loved BTS I was never to close with my mom but when we found something we both love we got really close so I want to thank BTS for bringing me and my own mom closer
My family thinks it’s weird that I love BTS so much & they get annoyed by it🙁 any tips on how to explain to them that BTS is more than “just some boy group with a lot of fans”
I'm a 32 year old ARMY and BTS has helped me in many ways. I had problems with depression and anxiety attacks that when I listen to their songs (particularly RM's MOONCHILD) it helps me come down from an attack. Whenever I feel depressed I go and watch videos of them being silly. Knowing that they deal with the very same issues as their fans (anxiety, depression, family issues, eating disorders, ect.) makes them more human in a way that most celebrities aren't. That they take the time to communicate thru Twitter and that they make it a point to thank ARMY for every award, every interview, every concert shows that they see us as their support system as well. Hearing their often positive messages in each of their songs is very uplifting. For most fans, it's what keeps them going at times, myself included. ARMY💜BTS💜 FOREVER
I was also depressed during my younger days,and the thing that helped me is to stop thinking about reality(Everytime possible) to stop real emotions from hurting me.I DECIDED TO BE SELFISH and save my self from every harm that goes my way. DAY DREAMING was my escape since there was no internet or TV cable that time. BTS teach us to love our selves,funny cause because of them I decided to love myself less and open up and share love to people cause I'm now strong enough to do so. Young Army's are so lucky to have BTS and how I wish they were there when I was way younger,that would have save me a lot of trouble growing up and the people around me that I hurt while struggling to survive my youth.
I'm 42 and I just discovered BTS for my self and my whole life is changed. Depression, anxiety, self hatred, regret, all this inside my heart is beginning to fade away. I completely feel and understand your comments and what you have shared.
@@YTworld-69 that was me last year😥..it took my friends months before I liked BTS,but I'm still not into other groups and I think I'll never again Stan other groups. BTS concept is very unique,first time seeing this kind of concept. Do you have a dimple?they have a sing titled DIMPLE,are you in a relationship that you want to end? SEESAW will make it easier,is someone playing with your heart I NEED YOU and DANGER will appeal to you,are you a person who depend on your parents and ask for too much SPINE BREAKER tackles that issue. They have many unpopular songs that I like more than their popular once,it appeals to me like a book with translations like Korean dramas.
I'm 21, recently started loving BTS, I used to cringe at fan culture, and now, well I'm using Weverse. 💜 These 7 boys are the most inspiring, humble, talented, hard-working, honest and beautiful souls I've ever witnessed on earth.
It’s always refreshing to see a channel NOT BTS based, do ACTUAL research, and instead of highlighting the BAD things some ARMY do, you took a look at the many AMAZING things we do as well. It means a lot. Thank you 💜
Okay okay no fan wars or whatever is going on in my house, I don’t care what this is ITS AN ARGUMENT AND I DONT WANNA BE THE CENTER OF AN ARGUMENT SO PLZ JUST HALT AND TAKE THIS SOMEWHERE ELSE THANKK BYEEEE
@@nataliacarrion8440 do your fucking research, they apologized, or do you need glasses because you're too blind with your bullshit you can't see what's the truth? Fuck off
Once, I couldn’t even see myself in the mirror, and now I even wear bikinis, crop tops, shorts, dance everyday, and smile. Because I know I am pretty, It’s still hard to acknowledge it, but I know, If I keep listening to them, I can start listening to myself too.
For all those people who are crying army's consist of young fans.... My dad, my mom, my grandparents, my married elder sister, her married friends, are army's. I m not bluffing. We sometimes watch them together. And..for people who say army's consists of girls...i m a straight fucking FANBOY. I listened to them not for their looks or anything...just fucking look for their lyrics!! You'll understand
It’s hard to explain how easy it is to fall in love with the boys. Within a week of checking them out, I was 100% full-on ARMY. They’ve changed my life in such a positive way, and if you aren’t an ARMY yet, give BTS a chance and you won’t regret it!💜💜💜
LMAO Just a single crack(kinda but not really lol.) video made me fall in love with them, throwing away my previous hate and prejudice for them and a couple more videos made me loyal to them for forever(I spiraled down to ARMY life so fast that it took me about 30 minutes to accurately match their names with their faces(LMAO mature/present Bangtan and fetus Bangtan confused tf out of me at first especially V and Jimin. I always somehow confuse fetus V and Jimin together)). I never thought I would fangirl this hard... Like, I always knew control but BTS just made me throw self control away and any other semblance of self control in my life xD
@suga kookie omg same tho!!! Like not that I'm complaining or anything! One time in a science test, I accidentally wrote Busan burner instead of bunsen burner and I didnt even lose marks 😅😅
I'm 40 yrs old mother of 2 and BTS brought back the joy of being young and becoming a part of something bigger than my little self. By the way it was my mom who introduced me to BTS.
I am 43 and I discovered them May 2017 and they helped me with some things that were happening to me at work. Their music empowered me and added to my happiness. I absolutely love them.
I'm 48, just know that you're not alone. My 15 year old daughter and 9 year old granddaughter introduced me to these guys. It's something about them that's indescribable, their music makes me happy ❤
That’s awesome! 💜 Atleast my mother supports BTS and my brother is an Army :) My dad always makes fun of them.. well.. I just keep ignoring his nasty words :P He gets always annoyed when I play BTS loud af in our car hahah
im gonna rant here. ARMY isn’t what it seems, they describe us as loud, disrespectful, rude, annoying, and pathetic girls/boys. and i will admitt that outta 100 of us, only like 00.00.01% percent of us are like that. but it will never change how we feel for these boys. we cry for them. we fight for them. we spend for them. and we live for them. we always say ‘i wish bangtan will love us. i wish they would marry me. why won’t they notice me’ baby, they have. remember when yoongi said ‘keep ur ring finger open for us’ and he wore an official btsxarmy ring for a long time ? remember when taetae said ‘i have something to say, your ours. you belong to us’ and after that i stopped stanning other groups. their music brought us together. some of us might not understand what they’re sayin in their songs, but i know we can all feel it. for that, our only job as an ARMY, is to keep it together. when they disband will we ever give up ? no. will we fight for the lucky girls position? never. will we keep giving them the world ? anytime they ask. so in conclusion... dear antis, ARMY is a family. you can mess with us, but not BTS.
I had a very dark phase in my life. That time my father was my strength. Now my father is no longer with me . A few months back i found BTS although my life is not that dark. But i miss my father and his support. Whenever i feel sad or i need to smile, i listen to bts music and watch boys funny videos. I am crying as i write this. Thank you BTS for bringing light and hope in my world.
I'm happy that you found bts at this important moment of your life, I hope you find more brighten than dark days ahead, and remember, once you join this family, you never walk alone
Same, my sister was very close to me. She always gives me strength and whenever i lack she always fills that, now that she’s no longer here, I had a very hard time coping with the world (i struggle a lot), that time i found BTS that i thought just a normal thing to encounter until i’ve had a very clear understanding of who they are. Through being themselves, i’ve had realizations that i have to improve myself and work hard too to live harder.
MTV has made the best *Intro to ARMY* we could've asked for! The media tend to want to show us in a rather negative light, they see us as a fandom filled with hormonal, angsty hysterical fangirls, but we're more than that, we're diverse, old and young, devoted and try our best to become our better selves, no matter our race, gender identity, religion or beliefs :) Thanks MTV!
Thank you MTV that is the first coverage that has been the most accurate yet. BTS Army is very powerful for that reason. But not only that, there are a few little things as well, like Army has apparently given to the victims of the japan/korean war, suga donated meat packs to the shelters, army has sent flowers and thank you to radio/tv stations for hosting or playing BTS, army pays for large billboards or times square to help promote and show their love for bts. Army also splinters off into smaller groups that help others in the name of BTS as well. Even recently media in japan attacks BTS over the shirt incident, Army calm in its wisdom not only donate to the victims but Jarmy attend all the japanese concerts in support to show that they support and love their members, have trust and faith in them. Add these reasons to your ones above and yes you have a very powerful movement that is extremely empowering one that makes each and every one of us proud and smile when someone new finds BTS and see's that love and wants to take part.
I have been through a lot of fandoms in my life but this has been the first one where I feel like I actually belong. Where I can say we're family and actually feel it. I've been a fan since 2015, when the boys were treated horribly I made a vow to myself to take them as high as I could. I didn't realize that along the way i'd grow respect for different cultures and also go on a journey of loving myself. I've made better friends through BTS who have literally mailed me jackets, letters, BTS merch, without having ever met me. And when I meet ARMYS at concerts or Burn the Stage, I always go alone because I know I'll make a friend right away. The nicest people I have ever met and all thanks to BTS who remind us to love ourselves and each other
I could honestly go on for days about them and their music. This video was geared more towards how BTS impacts fans and fandom culture. But their lyrics hooked me in. I was a heavy metal, screamo, alternative music listener who scoffed at main stream music and especially kpop. But look at me now driving bopping songs knowing full well that their actual lyrics would make me cry bc it's BTS
@@namjinwink9792 I only stan talented people who actually care about their music. Ones that stay up writing their own music and trying to convey a message. Because that's what music really is. It is about a message. (I saw BTS in Newark and then got to see TOP in Tampa Florida, I'm a fangirl living her best life)
@@yamacvlt I drove two hours away and asked to work the 7am shift to get out early and drive. I believe they'll put it out somewhere so you'll get the chance. But if you get to watch it with fellow ARMYS it adds to the experience, although it's not a necessity. It won't disappear it'll become DVD or maybe they'll put it on RUclips Red
I love BTS Army. No fan club impressed and influenced as much as Army. Swedish army apologized for some of their fans wrong doing, showed there's bigger positiveness in them, Korean army donating condolence Women help foundation, international army protecting Jimin, especially J army. J Army, they are so special they teach that there is peace and harmony. I wonder this is a step of new world that finally peaceful message gains more power.
Blood relationships r more difficult and hurts u alot but this family of ours doesn't do that in fact it always keeps us happy and also teaches us many things !!
"I am an INDIAN ARMY, and I love BTS" Actually I was holding back to accept it, cuz I am BOY ,and was concerned about my masculinity image. But I finally realized it , I 💜myself and don't care if anyone makes fun of me. I 💜 U #BTS , I 💜 U #ARMY
No other fandom can be as loving and as caring as ARMY'S....we all speak different languages and are from different countries and even continents but it really feels like if we already know each other from such a long time as if we are relatives....we're all that close All thanks to them our precious lovely BOY'S
Alicia Patrick I’m 32 and maried. I’ve just been an Army for 2 months but it’s so amazing to me. I love how they inspire young people. I 💜 BTS and Armys.
Well if the antis and the media knew that most armys have to keep track of psychology, mythology, science, classic literature, novels, books, movies etc. To completely understand bts's lyrics and make theories connecting their storyline, they would certainly stop calling us crazy 12yr old girls , because Oh no 12yr old girls cant be intelligent 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 its good in a way tho, for instance, lately a cryptocurrency cult decided to scam the fanbase thinking it was just kids on twt, only to get exposed and canceled. Well let them be them and let us be us ig
I am a medical student and sometimes it's so exhausting and depressing but then there is BTS to help you relieve your stress and tell you that it's ok to be tired, just rest and then continue again.
For some reason after I became an army last year. Everyone literally started to become ARMYS in my school...and then everything happen. BTS made into billboards and got even more successful! I’m glad I became an ARMY! But I have to thank them for how savage I had became after being an ARMY 😂😂😂
I became an army when blood sweat & tears came out in 2016 and I feel like that was the turning point. After that the fan base grew bigger and Bts was recognized internationally more..
ive met some of the most amazing people simply because we share a love for BTS. Both my parents are ARMYs as well, I am 22 years old and Ive been a fan since last September, I honestly don't understand how I made it this far without them but now im at a point where I cant a world without BTS in it.
Im 22 too and i found out about them two years ago and seriously i cant understand how i was able to live without them for so long. Ps: ur so lucky both ur parents are armys
I used to avidly shit on K-pop but when my girlfriend got me to listen to these guys, and I literally just came from Korea just a few hours ago I now understand why they're such a global phenomenon, kudos to BTS for changing my perspective
gbosai same like I didn’t like it and I like didn’t want to listen but then one of my friends got me to listen to it and now I love it like I’m BTS ARMY thanks to her
As a kid back then, I got pretty shy about admitting that I liked BTS back in like 2014 or 2015 because my classmates were making fun of them. But I came to the conclusion that even if they make fun of them or not, it doesn't really affect my appreciation towards the boys. I'm a proud long time fan and I don't mean that in any kind of bragging way. Man, the boys did so well in just a few years.
OMG SAMEEEEEEE I had the same issue. And I became an army in 2014. I was so into kpop and my family and friends hated kpop they would always make fun of them and me for liking it
Pure Randomness I relate to you on that issue and now they are still doing it in High School but who cares what’s they say these boys helped me in ways that I didn’t know myself
Noelle if you have nothing nice to say don’t say anything, and next time read the title “worlds most powerful fandom” if you don’t wanna get crushed, just sayin’🤷♀️
I recently discovered BTS and have become obsessed with them. Love their message of loving ourselves, of hope and love how this message transcends language and culture. Love how diverse ARMY is and I agree to me it also “represents the world I want to live in.”♥️
*BTS + ARMY = FAMILY* we're not just a fandom, we're part of one big amazing family that loves each other unconditionally. So happy to be a part of this family💜
@CharlotteDaily omg. Srly, you are everywhere telling them gay and now you have the guts to say non toxic fans? LOL DON'T TELL ME YOU WERE NOT THE SAME PERSON AN HOUR AGO 🙄
I am a practising lawyer since 3 years, the nature of this job is so hard and tiring that sometimes it frustrates you and make you person that you are not supposed to be. Then I came to know about BTS through a colleague. He also has the same problem as mine. I have been following and listening to them since 2 years and i can say they personality and their music inspired me to be a better person than i was before. Now i am good lady to everyone. Positivity in their music hit me. Now i am a proud ARMY and always will be. Thank you for trying to know us.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much :] ♡ I hope they made you believe in yourself :> And I hope you realize you can still love yourself.. ♡ Cause BTS, they've shown me i have reasons I should love myself~ ♡ 💜
Hello.. I am 16 year old and studying law (for entrance exam of national law University).. this is for the 1st time that I found an army who is related to law too :)
OLDER ARMYs...you are very special! While preteens and teens seem to make up most of the fan base, I think millennials (those the same age as BTS, mid 20s to 30s) have a special connection as many of BTS’s songs speak directly to their generation and struggles of people their age. While their music is universal, it also has some more mature and contemplative themes that are specially related to those “growing up” with BTS, at the same stage in life as them. It can be really discouraging knowing that BTS fans are widely known as screaming and sometimes rude 13, 14, 15-year-olds, but know that us millennial baepsae (😂) have our own unique way of loving and relating to BTS.
These artists literally changed my perspective on music,i used to like all the "cool catchy music with sick beats " and absolutely 0 meaning but now i actually realise u can have all that with meaning,there is so much from them u can choose from,like they literally make me feel emotions i've never felt and am so happy...they get me hoping 4 a better day and it's great that was their mission from the start as in the logo "BIG HIT ENT.MUSIC AND ARTISTS 4 HEALING"
@@hentaislayer0012 Peace be with you. "Cast stones at us. We have no fear anymore. We are together. We are bulletproof" -BTS We are bulletproof: the eternal
Bts inspired me to dance and sing. They also help with my mental problems like depression and anxiety. I'm currently learning Korean and I'm fascinated by their culture.
Even after watching burn the stage, my mom still doesn’t understand why they’re so popular and I’ve explained to her so many times why and she still tells me, “every artist can do that and they’re only doing it for money.” JFKFJHRJ WDYM like bts really does tackle the taboos of mental illness and society norms and they really reach out to fans and connect with them and not all artists do that MOTHER, actually, hardly any of them don’t.
Anonymous Channel , the way I see it, during the first three years of their debut, they mostly focus on the social illness, corruption and hypocrisy of the Korean society but instead of garnering support and appreciation, they rather garnered more hatred and antis from the people. Therefore, they learnt to deal with such type of harsh criticism and backlash though they didn't do anything wrong. This gave them to realise the value of self-respect or self-esteem in propagating good messages and came out with the idea of LOVE YOURSELF series through their experience the next year....I'm not a fan since the beginning and I don't know them much but that's the way I see it. They are human as much as us and they suffered alot of mental illness or depression due to the harsh environment around or when they think too much of fitting into the lifestyle and standards set by others but they knew they can't make everyone to love them no matter how much they try and that's when they realise the value of self-love....Sorry if I'm wrong or my English is not understandable... What I value is they teach other from their experience and that's powerful and practicable...RM speech at UN testifies the idea of love yourself series was spring out from his or their experience...
Same here, my mom hate bts and told me to study all the time!!! My grade are so good but she still dont like bts, sometimes i feel like i love bts more than my own family, but they still love me..., but i still want them accepted bts in my life!!! Urghh, but i still love my family, okay!!! ARMY, we can do this!! Even everyone hate bts we cant give up!!! We are here for our love, BTS oppa!!!!
Well id gladly give them my money knowing how hard they work to release an album. At least i use my money for something that makes me happy and not on drugs or alcohol. Sooooo...
Finally this is happening. I'm just glad that our fandom isn't being looked at to negatively as people like to believe. People often stereotype fandom's as being this type crazy fangirl that is obsessed with boys looks. I'm thankful that we are getting recognized for the thing that keeps supporting BTS and the amazing way they have impacted all our lives.
For our teachers we need to study For our parents we need to give pride For our friends we need to be funny For our partners we need to be beautiful For the society we need to follow the laws In a world where we need to be perfect the BTS only asks us to be ourselves Thanks Namjoon Thanks Jin Thanks Yoongi Thanks Hoseok Thanks Jimin Thanks Taehyung Thanks Jungkook Thank you BTS for giving us the possibility to be ourselves in this world dominated by standards and criticism Thank you for healing us and saving us 💜
I'm crying guys! Thank you MTV for taking the time to truly get to know why we love them so much and thank you to all the hard working ARMYs who try their best everyday to help change and make the world a better place for all. And of course thank you to the one and only BTS for giving us family and friends from all around the world. We greatly appreciate what you have done for all of us! LOVE YOU ALL ^_^ - Caribbean ARMY
You are from the Caribbean? Me too!!! I'm so glad to see others ARMY's from that part of the world :D On which island do you live? I'm from St Barth and St Martin! 3 And yes, I totally agree with you, this video is wonderful, I'm so glad MTV did something like that! In France the main TV channel (TF1) did make a short "documentary" about BTS, but it was very stereotyped and offensive to the fandom and members :/ (Sorry if my English is not very good, it's not my first language :(
There's just something about BTS that triggers various degrees of emotions within. Honestly I believe destiny brought these 7 together to help make this world a better place through music.
Some people cringe when they hear “BTS changed my life” but honestly that’s exactly what they do. They manage to make a positive impact and speak for everyone no matter what age, gender, or ethnicity. I am proud to be ARMY 💜
bts helped me not care abt what other ppl think abt me, and music has never done that to me. in general you feel super connected w all 7 boys. bts is great lol
Being an army has been an incredible journey. I never thought I would ever interact with people from so many different backgrounds like I do on a daily basis because of bts. Its more than just stanning u r favourite artist. There is a reason why army call each other part of a family coz we truly are.
It's funny but true because bts only wants to make army proud, but army only wants to make bts proud💜💜we only want to impress, and make each other proud!💜
One of the best things about being a fan of BTS for me is being able to go on Twitter and talk to people all around the world and pretty much get to know them as if you knew them in person. It feels surreal. It's truly amazing! I'm from Texas but if I traveled to the Philippines, South Africa, Indonesia, or even Florida or New York, I know I'd have a friend to meet up with😄
N G That is literally how it was for me seeing BTS in NY. A bunch of us ARMY who follow eachother on twitter booked a hotel together. It was apart of the experience seeing bts live...seeing my fellow ARMY friends in real life.

this is exactly what I think about everyday
omgg i know :'(♡ i love every single one of you as much as I love BTS and my family and God ♡

Very powerful words indeed!!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a huge fandom that’s done good in the name of their artist like this. Whatever those boys are doing, they’re doing it right. Kudos to all those trying to make the world a better place
😍😍thankyou for your kind words for us💕💕
May M Thankyou for your kind words. BTS have always been bold in speaking out on all kinds of social issues in both their daily lives and their music, and I their example has really reflected in this fandom as a whole. I’ve genuinely never met a kinder group of people than ARMYs and I’m very proud to be one
Oh Pink Floyd is my life ❤️ dark side of the moon ❤️❤️
AWWWWW, Thank you for your kind words, you almost brought me into tears tbh❤️ Just thank you
May M thank you so much ;-; we just do what our boys have taught us and make them proud💜
“To me it represents the kind of world that I wanna live in”. 👍
Sky Dancer same
I might have cried little there
This is actually so true, never thought of it like that💜
👍 agree
My heart is overflowing with emotions right now
Im showing this video to my children and grandchildren and say “I was part of that”
Me too i wil show...and they will say the 1st thing
Old generation and
And they are gonna be shocked😂
I would be ashamed
@@doubleromans4916 why would you be ashamed.
I think u should be proud of being a part of such a beautiful fandom / family.
@@doubleromans4916 why?
OMG me too! What a wonderful experience it is ♥️
This is the BTS Army.
We're not just screaming, wild teens most outsiders think of.
BTS are extraordinary people who have always been inspiring people and giving out positive impacts in our lives.
The charity projects are constantly being done by Armys around the world, for local organizations as well as international. And some just do random projects on their own, showing acts of kindness and compassion to less fortunate people. Because BTS has always been that way even before they were called global superstars.
Thank you MTV for showing that being BTS Army is more than just fangirling over cute boys. Cause BTS is definitely more than that. They're not your average boyband.
i just find it cool that people that aren’t army look at our fandom as powerful
I do find us powerful
I fucking Hate homosexuals,bts and fortnite no actually. People that are so bored with life, insecure about themselves and are so full of hate (you’re a good example) think that. BTS are just singers who have achieved a lot because of their fans. Bangtan were poor people fighting for their family at one stage so don’t hate on them. You can hate on army as much as you want because I honestly don’t like most people in this fandom anyways but don’t go attacking people directly because it’s fucking annoying
I know right it’s like someone calling you “the smartest person in class” lol
@@Piggypigpigpig I think they were responding to someone who's name was "I fucking Hate homosexuals,bts and fortnite". Or at least I hope so lol
cup of tae you do realise not everyone is like that and you’re doing exactly what you find annoying
I’m a 47 year old white Christian Canadian that used to be fearful but Suga really inspired me to the point that I traveled to Seoul last spring. I met a 24 year old Muslim American in an alley outside my guesthouse and helped her find her guesthouse. Why are u in korea? She said she loves kpop. Me too!!! We both said BTS and I said j-hope is my hope and Suga is my inspiration. We spent everyday together and in June we are going back with 2 other Armies- a 25 yr old korean male and 24 year year old student born in Africa living in the states. That’s the power of BTS-bringing people together. 💜💜💜💜
Tanya Lee, I'm a 53 year old Asian female and what BTS has done for me is give me renewed purpose in life. As I begin to lose a few of my friends to sickness, I strive to hang on to life by a thread and BTS is that thread. MTV is right. BTS and ARMY is a movement! A move to change the world one day and one person at a time so it can be a better place.
i'm so happy reading this. made my day! thank you for sharing
I'm 40. I have discovered BTS in October 2017. I have less anxiety also thanks to Suga. JungKook saved my life last year 2x with only one cover he posted and with his G. C. P pictures of Malta.
So what INFIRES you to go to Korea?
This is so beautiful!
Reporter: what makes BTS special??
Min Yoongi: We are special because we have special fan, the ARMY
Bts and Army have a connection with each other that will not happen again
@@skyesommerville9527 what do u mean
@@BTSARMY-qp6uy . Ah sorry if it didn't make sense what I meant was that bts and army are veary close . Especially for a artist and fans
@@BTSARMY-qp6uy she meant that this relation will not happen again (IN future for any fans as it is very special that can never happen with any other group except BTS itself) right?
And we are special because we have special idols, the BTS 💜
Finally a video where there is more than just "armys are crazy for bts".
Yesterday, I went to burn the stage, and realized that I loved everyone in the room (even though they pretty much ignored me, cries), and I came home to find a random discord message saying that her love and support for us was limitless. I met another army at school once, and when she said 'army', heart emojis filled my vision. That's how much I love y'all, despite having never met you. You are loved.
Army is really such a loving family. Thank you so much for giving me that, and for giving the world so much of your time and effort. Because MTV is right, we really make a difference.

Hey! Subscribe to Mabie Island on RUclips!
BTS AND ARMY ARE FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!! WE LOVE THE, THEY LOVE US!!!!!
My girlfriend and I attended the BTS Love Yourself Speak Yourself concert at the Rose Bowl in SoCal on May 4th. It was my very first concert in my life. I am not an Army but the reason why I attended is because my girlfriend was attending. I didn't want her to go alone. It was an awesome experience! Especially with the "Army Wave" going on while they wait for BTS for almost like 7 minutes (I wonder why). It's amazing to see how Army unites. I want to thank my girlfriend for bringing me, Army for their enthusiasm and BTS for an outstanding performance and making my first ever concert experience paramount. :)
Aw such a beautiful comment to come across. Your gilfriend is lucky to have you. And she sure will be a beautiful human too.

YAH,with those memes tho...
40 year old ARMY here. I love those guys. Quality content in their music, beautiful inspirational uplifting lyrics that anyone can relate to, great personalities, humble, I can go on and on. These guys deserve all the praise they get and I really don't understand how anyone could hate on them.
Me too :)
64 year old ARMY here.. I wake up listening to BTS, getting ready for work, walking to work, catching bus, at lunch and then on my way home and before I sleep.. No I am not a fan of BTS I am obsessed with them. Could you tell. my granddaughter laughs and calls me the biggest Army fan she knows. Hey who can't love them they are GREAT.. Keep it up guys I will love you forever.
Wah purple u guys :D I‘m 14 and it’s so nice to hear from older Armys, you are awesome :)
@@fabi5584 it really is and I'm 13 :)

We come from different countries and cultures, and we don't always agree on everything, but BTS is what unites ARMY and makes us a family
We even don't have time to think about our differences fam 💁must importantly we have to stream BangTan musters pieces songs and give them much 💜
Lia Shiray I don’t think differences and different view points are a bad thing - I think they make us stronger! Even when we go through tough times, we come out the other side with a better understanding of each other. I’ve learned so much from this fandom and I wouldn’t trade it for the world 💜 and you’re absolutely right about streaming and supporting 💜😊

Bts is not your local boy band, Bts is a MOVEMENT!

Well said, friend
I'm a 37 year old married man and I am proud to be part of BTS Army. People mock me for liking a Korean band made up of younger guys, but that's okay. Because what they see is just superficial things. But what I see is much, much deeper. I see them to be the catalyst to make this world a more united, diverse, and LOVING society. That is a world that I want to live in. That is a world that I long for. That is a world that I want to leave behind to the next generation.
To all the ARMY out there, thank you for your generosity, your humbleness, and your perseverance amidst a world that is broken and in despair. I am so proud to be a part of our family. I purple you 💜
Michael Lim wow an Army Dad💜

I just saw this in recommendation
fuck bta
BTS saved my life.
I suffered a lot of bullying at school, I had no friends, I was always sad and alone.
In the songs I found hope that tomorrow would be better and that I would be fine.
I talked online with army and managed to make incredible friendships. When I tried to commit suicide, the fans, my friends, supported me. BTS gave me friends when I needed them most, gave me hope and reminded me why I still want to live.
I have been army for 7 years, with professional help and the Army overcame depression.
BTS saved my life.
I love them💜
I love ARMYS 💜
Finally i love myself 💜
So beautiful 😍
BTS and Armys are mean to spread love and joy. They are very sweet.
I love you dear ARMY..
Thank you ur very lukey
They say we're cringe, they say we're extra, they say we're crazy...but no one has ever said how United we are. ARMY is a family and will always be there for eachother and for BTS ofc. BTS fighting, ARMY fighting!!

I never met friendly fans. Always gotta one up a fan. Buuuut the ARMY, friendly af. Went to the burn the stage movie.. mannnnn everybody was bonding. This is why BTS is so big, their music literally brings people together
Yeah right! I went to see the movie too, I was alone because my ARMY friends aren't close to my city, but I still met many wonderful people in the cinema.
"Music and performance transcend countries and languages" (RM)
I saw Burn the Stage opening night and after the credits finished rolling, half the people in the audience were talking to each other about having a sleepover. ARMY IS UNPARALLELED.
dietotaku yessss. Same at the movie theater I went to. Like everybody EVERYBODY was talking to each other. It was amazing to see so many strangers bonding.
Anna yeah I saw more than a hand full of people coming in by them self but that didn’t last long because everybody started to bond over BTS. It was beautiful to see everybody getting along and fangirly
@@stephc2393 totally We start sharing popcorn and then we're laughing at random comments and at the end of the movie everybody was talking and laughing bouy the moments they liked best.
It's beautiful.
Some people think that most of ARMYs are toxic. But truly, were just a caring and loving fandom who treasure BTS and treat each and every ARMY as a family. Im very honored to be apart of this beautiful family. No matter who you are, this family will always accept you for you. Even if we all dont know eachother that well, we ARMYs will always accept anyone who loves our boys. This fandom really is worth to call family.
We ARMYs are gonna stay with BTS no matter what even if its the last of our breathes.
BTS AND ARMY ARE FAMILY.
BORAHAE💜
We don’t think we know that you guys are toxic? Look on Twitter not a single one of you guys accept opinions about not liking bts
@@markrblx4732There are around 90 million Armys and not all of them are on Twitter. Please don’t form your opinions on the fandom by what some immature people say on Twitter.
A moment for all those who got saved from depression etc by BTS
Including me.
The soul snatched by BTS V's Singularity i cannot like this enough.... 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Me too💜💜
Lets all support these boys and pray for their happiness and health.
This makes me feel special for being an army, since people around me would make fun of me for liking them and would say BTS is trash so I was so glad when I found out my own mom loved BTS I was never to close with my mom but when we found something we both love we got really close so I want to thank BTS for bringing me and my own mom closer
aww omygosh this is the sweetest thing :'(♡
I hope you and your mom are in a better, open and healthier relationship now :]♡
Aww..💜💜💜 that is very good!
My family thinks it’s weird that I love BTS so much & they get annoyed by it🙁 any tips on how to explain to them that BTS is more than “just some boy group with a lot of fans”
I'm a 32 year old ARMY and BTS has helped me in many ways. I had problems with depression and anxiety attacks that when I listen to their songs (particularly RM's MOONCHILD) it helps me come down from an attack. Whenever I feel depressed I go and watch videos of them being silly. Knowing that they deal with the very same issues as their fans (anxiety, depression, family issues, eating disorders, ect.) makes them more human in a way that most celebrities aren't. That they take the time to communicate thru Twitter and that they make it a point to thank ARMY for every award, every interview, every concert shows that they see us as their support system as well. Hearing their often positive messages in each of their songs is very uplifting. For most fans, it's what keeps them going at times, myself included.
ARMY💜BTS💜 FOREVER
I was also depressed during my younger days,and the thing that helped me is to stop thinking about reality(Everytime possible) to stop real emotions from hurting me.I DECIDED TO BE SELFISH and save my self from every harm that goes my way.
DAY DREAMING was my escape since there was no internet or TV cable that time.
BTS teach us to love our selves,funny cause because of them I decided to love myself less and open up and share love to people cause I'm now strong enough to do so.
Young Army's are so lucky to have BTS and how I wish they were there when I was way younger,that would have save me a lot of trouble growing up and the people around me that I hurt while struggling to survive my youth.
I'm 42 and I just discovered BTS for my self and my whole life is changed. Depression, anxiety, self hatred, regret, all this inside my heart is beginning to fade away. I completely feel and understand your comments and what you have shared.
Can't understand people who like K-pop
@@YTworld-69 that was me last year😥..it took my friends months before I liked BTS,but I'm still not into other groups and I think I'll never again Stan other groups. BTS concept is very unique,first time seeing this kind of concept. Do you have a dimple?they have a sing titled DIMPLE,are you in a relationship that you want to end? SEESAW will make it easier,is someone playing with your heart I NEED YOU and DANGER will appeal to you,are you a person who depend on your parents and ask for too much SPINE BREAKER tackles that issue. They have many unpopular songs that I like more than their popular once,it appeals to me like a book with translations like Korean dramas.

@@nataliacarrion8440 do your fucking research, they apologized, or do you need glasses because you're too blind with your bullshit you can't see what's the truth? Fuck off
Once, I couldn’t even see myself in the mirror, and now I even wear bikinis, crop tops, shorts, dance everyday, and smile. Because I know I am pretty, It’s still hard to acknowledge it, but I know, If I keep listening to them, I can start listening to myself too.

It’s hard to explain how easy it is to fall in love with the boys. Within a week of checking them out, I was 100% full-on ARMY. They’ve changed my life in such a positive way, and if you aren’t an ARMY yet, give BTS a chance and you won’t regret it!💜💜💜
💯 percent relatable. Can you believe I didn't know bts's single member before this November Nd now I call myself an ARMY!
Mine is the same story as well and I don't regret at all 💜
LMAO Just a single crack(kinda but not really lol.) video made me fall in love with them, throwing away my previous hate and prejudice for them and a couple more videos made me loyal to them for forever(I spiraled down to ARMY life so fast that it took me about 30 minutes to accurately match their names with their faces(LMAO mature/present Bangtan and fetus Bangtan confused tf out of me at first especially V and Jimin. I always somehow confuse fetus V and Jimin together)). I never thought I would fangirl this hard... Like, I always knew control but BTS just made me throw self control away and any other semblance of self control in my life xD
I fell for them because I accidentally watched there crack video!😍
Test Monkey honestly for me it was like 2 days and I already knew bts run episodes and everything. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bts is not a fandom,, it’s a family.
Yup
ItSMeVal ! Yes
"Music nowadays are cool but it's nothing like BTS it directly talks to a teenager" oh wow TRUE TO THAT SIR

Mine too😀
My dad is freaking racist ugh, but luckily I have my mom on my side. Lmao she jams out with me.

They don't simply write songs for their exes and ohs...Every of their songs have a positive impact on the listeners...
Blackpink*Bts BB Factsssss💕❤️❤️💓
this is such a genuine and accurate portrayal of army ♡
im gonna rant here.
ARMY isn’t what it seems, they describe us as loud, disrespectful, rude, annoying, and pathetic girls/boys. and i will admitt that outta 100 of us, only like 00.00.01% percent of us are like that. but it will never change how we feel for these boys. we cry for them. we fight for them. we spend for them. and we live for them. we always say ‘i wish bangtan will love us. i wish they would marry me. why won’t they notice me’ baby, they have. remember when yoongi said ‘keep ur ring finger open for us’ and he wore an official btsxarmy ring for a long time ? remember when taetae said ‘i have something to say, your ours. you belong to us’ and after that i stopped stanning other groups. their music brought us together. some of us might not understand what they’re sayin in their songs, but i know we can all feel it. for that, our only job as an ARMY, is to keep it together. when they disband will we ever give up ? no. will we fight for the lucky girls position? never. will we keep giving them the world ? anytime they ask. so in conclusion...
dear antis,
ARMY is a family. you can mess with us, but not BTS.
I literally couldnt have said this better🥺
I started tearing up just reading your comment🥺🥺💜

The same story with mine
Omg I know that feeling

Same i get bullied because of this
I had a very dark phase in my life. That time my father was my strength. Now my father is no longer with me . A few months back i found BTS although my life is not that dark. But i miss my father and his support. Whenever i feel sad or i need to smile, i listen to bts music and watch boys funny videos. I am crying as i write this. Thank you BTS for bringing light and hope in my world.
Hope u get better :) Don’t give up, I purple u 💜
This made me cry 😢 I’m so sorry for your loss but happy BTS is there for you in dark times.
so beautiful words, same with me.
I'm happy that you found bts at this important moment of your life, I hope you find more brighten than dark days ahead, and remember, once you join this family, you never walk alone
Same, my sister was very close to me. She always gives me strength and whenever i lack she always fills that, now that she’s no longer here, I had a very hard time coping with the world (i struggle a lot), that time i found BTS that i thought just a normal thing to encounter until i’ve had a very clear understanding of who they are. Through being themselves, i’ve had realizations that i have to improve myself and work hard too to live harder.
MTV has made the best *Intro to ARMY* we could've asked for! The media tend to want to show us in a rather negative light, they see us as a fandom filled with hormonal, angsty hysterical fangirls, but we're more than that, we're diverse, old and young, devoted and try our best to become our better selves, no matter our race, gender identity, religion or beliefs :) Thanks MTV!
This is the only decision in life that I don't regret..
Stanning legends 💜
Thank you MTV that is the first coverage that has been the most accurate yet. BTS Army is very powerful for that reason. But not only that, there are a few little things as well, like Army has apparently given to the victims of the japan/korean war, suga donated meat packs to the shelters, army has sent flowers and thank you to radio/tv stations for hosting or playing BTS, army pays for large billboards or times square to help promote and show their love for bts. Army also splinters off into smaller groups that help others in the name of BTS as well. Even recently media in japan attacks BTS over the shirt incident, Army calm in its wisdom not only donate to the victims but Jarmy attend all the japanese concerts in support to show that they support and love their members, have trust and faith in them. Add these reasons to your ones above and yes you have a very powerful movement that is extremely empowering one that makes each and every one of us proud and smile when someone new finds BTS and see's that love and wants to take part.
Like and share Armys lets remind the world why we are who we are and why we stan 7 wonderful men.
@@silentlyloud5675 I agree with you on this. ^_^
There needs to be a full documentary about our fandom😂
I beg to second this !!!
@@jamlessmochiminie Burn The Stage Part 2: ARMY version haha
I have been through a lot of fandoms in my life but this has been the first one where I feel like I actually belong. Where I can say we're family and actually feel it. I've been a fan since 2015, when the boys were treated horribly I made a vow to myself to take them as high as I could. I didn't realize that along the way i'd grow respect for different cultures and also go on a journey of loving myself. I've made better friends through BTS who have literally mailed me jackets, letters, BTS merch, without having ever met me. And when I meet ARMYS at concerts or Burn the Stage, I always go alone because I know I'll make a friend right away. The nicest people I have ever met and all thanks to BTS who remind us to love ourselves and each other
I could honestly go on for days about them and their music. This video was geared more towards how BTS impacts fans and fandom culture. But their lyrics hooked me in. I was a heavy metal, screamo, alternative music listener who scoffed at main stream music and especially kpop. But look at me now driving bopping songs knowing full well that their actual lyrics would make me cry bc it's BTS
A fellow clique member and army I see 😂
@@namjinwink9792 I only stan talented people who actually care about their music. Ones that stay up writing their own music and trying to convey a message. Because that's what music really is. It is about a message. (I saw BTS in Newark and then got to see TOP in Tampa Florida, I'm a fangirl living her best life)
I couldn’t even see Burn The Stage cuz it was too far
@@yamacvlt I drove two hours away and asked to work the 7am shift to get out early and drive. I believe they'll put it out somewhere so you'll get the chance. But if you get to watch it with fellow ARMYS it adds to the experience, although it's not a necessity. It won't disappear it'll become DVD or maybe they'll put it on RUclips Red
I love BTS Army. No fan club impressed and influenced as much as Army. Swedish army apologized for some of their fans wrong doing, showed there's bigger positiveness in them, Korean army donating condolence Women help foundation, international army protecting Jimin, especially J army. J Army, they are so special they teach that there is peace and harmony. I wonder this is a step of new world that finally peaceful message gains more power.
if entire world is ARMY, there will be no more war
Show it to those who say ARMYs are toxic immature people.

Hey an indian here, i understand what you mean but don't let anyone stop you from following your heart... And remember #Army has your back.. 💜💜
okay but thank you for actually doing research on why we care about these men
No other fandom can be as loving and as caring as ARMY'S....we all speak different languages and are from different countries and even continents but it really feels like if we already know each other from such a long time as if we are relatives....we're all that close
All thanks to them our precious lovely BOY'S

Wonderful article. Well researched. I'm a 40 year old army with adult children. I am constantly inspired by BTS humility and dedication to their fans.
Alicia Patrick I’m 32 and maried. I’ve just been an Army for 2 months but it’s so amazing to me. I love how they inspire young people. I 💜 BTS and Armys.
I’m 42, married, with kids, and my kids are ARMY, too! We are going to the Burn the Stage movie Sunday. I’m so proud to be ARMY!
I'm 39 and I proudly call myself an ARMY for life!
Good influence. The butterfly effect begins.
@@anastasiabeverlyhills8383 it can be use as humility and humanity
I am so relieved that they mentioned different genders cause I'm sick of the whole "BTS fans are all 12 year old girls" thing XD
Yeah
You are
0:02
Well if the antis and the media knew that most armys have to keep track of psychology, mythology, science, classic literature, novels, books, movies etc. To completely understand bts's lyrics and make theories connecting their storyline, they would certainly stop calling us crazy 12yr old girls , because Oh no 12yr old girls cant be intelligent 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
its good in a way tho, for instance, lately a cryptocurrency cult decided to scam the fanbase thinking it was just kids on twt, only to get exposed and canceled. Well let them be them and let us be us ig
Ohh!! I was not knowing about this, btw I am 12 years old.. 😁😁💜💜💜
This is probably the best mainstream channel video on this subject. It touched on a lot of the main reasons why bts is such a big part of our lives.
A video with proper research? I appreciate this
I know right!
Ayyy
Heck yeah, this is such a beautifully made video
Yes!
Watch my new video and you can win BTS stickers and Merch :)
BTS isn't just an obsession; it is a safe zone, a family, a life.
what you said is umderrated :[ so true
Preach
*CRIES IN ARMY* PREACH SIS
Simay true, a comforting place where you can be safe
Simay Yes.
I am a medical student and sometimes it's so exhausting and depressing but then there is BTS to help you relieve your stress and tell you that it's ok to be tired, just rest and then continue again.
For some reason after I became an army last year. Everyone literally started to become ARMYS in my school...and then everything happen. BTS made into billboards and got even more successful! I’m glad I became an ARMY! But I have to thank them for how savage I had became after being an ARMY 😂😂😂
This happened to me too. What a coincidence!!!
I became an army when blood sweat & tears came out in 2016 and I feel like that was the turning point. After that the fan base grew bigger and Bts was recognized internationally more..
I purple you! 💜💜💜
Ohhh my god... Same here.... Now... Half of the girls in our class are ARMYs...
@Deutsches Vaterland. what?
ive met some of the most amazing people simply because we share a love for BTS. Both my parents are ARMYs as well, I am 22 years old and Ive been a fan since last September, I honestly don't understand how I made it this far without them but now im at a point where I cant a world without BTS in it.
Im 22 too and i found out about them two years ago and seriously i cant understand how i was able to live without them for so long.
Ps: ur so lucky both ur parents are armys
YOOOO I'm the same age
Been since Dope/fire era
I've been a ARMY since I need U era. We can all agree that once you stan BTS you cant unstan
same!! I've made so many friends because of BTS, it's so sweet.
I used to avidly shit on K-pop but when my girlfriend got me to listen to these guys, and I literally just came from Korea just a few hours ago I now understand why they're such a global phenomenon, kudos to BTS for changing my perspective
we purple u
I'm happy you opened your mind and finally understand!
Did the same thing in the past, but i change when i became a fan, I regret what I did in the past tho really immature lmao
gbosai same like I didn’t like it and I like didn’t want to listen but then one of my friends got me to listen to it and now I love it like I’m BTS ARMY thanks to her
I was the same as you and now I’m completely obsessed
I am 64 n i'm Army since 2018...my love for BTS grow even more until forever. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
As a kid back then, I got pretty shy about admitting that I liked BTS back in like 2014 or 2015 because my classmates were making fun of them. But I came to the conclusion that even if they make fun of them or not, it doesn't really affect my appreciation towards the boys. I'm a proud long time fan and I don't mean that in any kind of bragging way. Man, the boys did so well in just a few years.
OMG SAMEEEEEEE I had the same issue. And I became an army in 2014. I was so into kpop and my family and friends hated kpop they would always make fun of them and me for liking it
Pure Randomness It's 2018 I'm 11 and I'm shy about it because I feel like I might be judged...
Pure Randomness I relate to you on that issue and now they are still doing it in High School but who cares what’s they say these boys helped me in ways that I didn’t know myself
Pure Randomness OMG SAME
ARMY is not just a fandom,
It's FAMILY...♥️♥️♥️

Not to be dramatic but this made me cry.
Jiminilie Minnie agreed
Me too
Why?
@@trizzysjourney3904 i was touched by that
I think because nobody would have expected MTV to do a documentary about BTS army.
I recently discovered BTS and have become obsessed with them. Love their message of loving ourselves, of hope and love how this message transcends language and culture. Love how diverse ARMY is and I agree to me it also “represents the world I want to live in.”♥️
Nice to meet you ARMY!! Welcome to the family 💜
*BTS + ARMY = FAMILY*
we're not just a fandom, we're part of one big amazing family that loves each other unconditionally. So happy to be a part of this family💜

@CharlotteDaily omg. Srly, you are everywhere telling them gay and now you have the guts to say non toxic fans? LOL DON'T TELL ME YOU WERE NOT THE SAME PERSON AN HOUR AGO 🙄
@lk m Well if your an Army them we love you too but that doesn't mean we're going to tolerate what your doing. We would help you go in prison tho.
I am a practising lawyer since 3 years, the nature of this job is so hard and tiring that sometimes it frustrates you and make you person that you are not supposed to be. Then I came to know about BTS through a colleague. He also has the same problem as mine. I have been following and listening to them since 2 years and i can say they personality and their music inspired me to be a better person than i was before. Now i am good lady to everyone. Positivity in their music hit me. Now i am a proud ARMY and always will be. Thank you for trying to know us.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much :] ♡
I hope they made you believe in yourself :>
And I hope you realize you can still love yourself.. ♡
Cause BTS, they've shown me i have reasons
I should love myself~ ♡

Hello.. I am 16 year old and studying law (for entrance exam of national law University).. this is for the 1st time that I found an army who is related to law too :)
Hope you are doing good now.

OLDER ARMYs...you are very special! While preteens and teens seem to make up most of the fan base, I think millennials (those the same age as BTS, mid 20s to 30s) have a special connection as many of BTS’s songs speak directly to their generation and struggles of people their age. While their music is universal, it also has some more mature and contemplative themes that are specially related to those “growing up” with BTS, at the same stage in life as them. It can be really discouraging knowing that BTS fans are widely known as screaming and sometimes rude 13, 14, 15-year-olds, but know that us millennial baepsae (😂) have our own unique way of loving and relating to BTS.
I'm 11 and is much more mature

These artists literally changed my perspective on music,i used to like all the "cool catchy music with sick beats " and absolutely 0 meaning but now i actually realise u can have all that with meaning,there is so much from them u can choose from,like they literally make me feel emotions i've never felt and am so happy...they get me hoping 4 a better day and it's great that was their mission from the start as in the logo "BIG HIT ENT.MUSIC AND ARTISTS 4 HEALING"

@@hentaislayer0012 Peace be with you.
"Cast stones at us. We have no fear anymore. We are together. We are bulletproof" -BTS We are bulletproof: the eternal
@Hentai Slayer 001 so what?
Bts inspired me to dance and sing.
They also help with my mental problems like depression and anxiety.
I'm currently learning Korean and I'm fascinated by their culture.
Even after watching burn the stage, my mom still doesn’t understand why they’re so popular and I’ve explained to her so many times why and she still tells me, “every artist can do that and they’re only doing it for money.” JFKFJHRJ WDYM like bts really does tackle the taboos of mental illness and society norms and they really reach out to fans and connect with them and not all artists do that MOTHER, actually, hardly any of them don’t.
Anonymous Channel , the way I see it, during the first three years of their debut, they mostly focus on the social illness, corruption and hypocrisy of the Korean society but instead of garnering support and appreciation, they rather garnered more hatred and antis from the people.
Therefore, they learnt to deal with such type of harsh criticism and backlash though they didn't do anything wrong. This gave them to realise the value of self-respect or self-esteem in propagating good messages and came out with the idea of LOVE YOURSELF series through their experience the next year....I'm not a fan since the beginning and I don't know them much but that's the way I see it.
They are human as much as us and they suffered alot of mental illness or depression due to the harsh environment around or when they think too much of fitting into the lifestyle and standards set by others but they knew they can't make everyone to love them no matter how much they try and that's when they realise the value of self-love....Sorry if I'm wrong or my English is not understandable...
What I value is they teach other from their experience and that's powerful and practicable...RM speech at UN testifies the idea of love yourself series was spring out from his or their experience...
SAME, mom's am I right 😔
Same here, my mom hate bts and told me to study all the time!!! My grade are so good but she still dont like bts, sometimes i feel like i love bts more than my own family, but they still love me..., but i still want them accepted bts in my life!!! Urghh, but i still love my family, okay!!!
ARMY, we can do this!! Even everyone hate bts we cant give up!!! We are here for our love, BTS oppa!!!!
they're doing it for money? give me thousands of artists who doesn't write and produce songs and get money. BTS can't relate.
Well id gladly give them my money knowing how hard they work to release an album. At least i use my money for something that makes me happy and not on drugs or alcohol. Sooooo...
Finally this is happening. I'm just glad that our fandom isn't being looked at to negatively as people like to believe. People often stereotype fandom's as being this type crazy fangirl that is obsessed with boys looks. I'm thankful that we are getting recognized for the thing that keeps supporting BTS and the amazing way they have impacted all our lives.
For our teachers we need to study
For our parents we need to give pride
For our friends we need to be funny
For our partners we need to be beautiful
For the society we need to follow the laws
In a world where we need to be perfect the BTS only asks us to be ourselves

Thank you MTV for taking the time to truly get to know why we love them so much and thank you to all the hard working ARMYs who try their best everyday to help change and make the world a better place for all. And of course thank you to the one and only BTS for giving us family and friends from all around the world. We greatly appreciate what you have done for all of us! LOVE YOU ALL ^_^ - Caribbean ARMY

And yes, I totally agree with you, this video is wonderful, I'm so glad MTV did something like that! In France the main TV channel (TF1) did make a short "documentary" about BTS, but it was very stereotyped and offensive to the fandom and members :/

There's just something about BTS that triggers various degrees of emotions within. Honestly I believe destiny brought these 7 together to help make this world a better place through music.
I was 13 i had no dream no aim no goal - literally nothing. BTS came into my life and changed it a blink of eye. Love you, BTS.

bts helped me not care abt what other ppl think abt me, and music has never done that to me. in general you feel super connected w all 7 boys. bts is great lol
Being an army has been an incredible journey. I never thought I would ever interact with people from so many different backgrounds like I do on a daily basis because of bts. Its more than just stanning u r favourite artist. There is a reason why army call each other part of a family coz we truly are.
💜 thats wat we do 24/7 we learn more and more and grow more thx to *BTS*
It's funny but true because bts only wants to make army proud, but army only wants to make bts proud💜💜we only want to impress, and make each other proud!💜
So true!!! 💜💜
Haha true!!!
ARMYs relationship with BTS is adorable
One of the best things about being a fan of BTS for me is being able to go on Twitter and talk to people all around the world and pretty much get to know them as if you knew them in person. It feels surreal. It's truly amazing! I'm from Texas but if I traveled to the Philippines, South Africa, Indonesia, or even Florida or New York, I know I'd have a friend to meet up with😄
N G That is literally how it was for me seeing BTS in NY. A bunch of us ARMY who follow eachother on twitter booked a hotel together. It was apart of the experience seeing bts live...seeing my fellow ARMY friends in real life.
Ariel Arnold Awee! That's so awesome that you got to do that!! What a cool experience💜
