71. Been a fan since 2019. My young granddaughter began living with me and I wanted an alternative to the western music I didn't approve of. I found these young men and was blown away. We are both avid fans now and are planning a trip to South Korea next fall. She is respectfull, loving and bows to her elders. I am terminally ill and BTS music has really helped me be positive through all the pain. The love for these young men and their music is something only she and I share in our family. What memories we are creating with their help! (My memorial service will only have BTS music. Our favorites) I can't say enough about what joy, peace and love we now have in our lives thanks to BTS.
🙇 I bow to you today!💜 I'm so glad that you have found something that can bring you so much happiness and also bond you and your granddaughter! Ah that makes me so happy! I just want you to know how special it is to have you here with us and enjoying these videos I make online! It is a real honor. Thank you for being here and just know you are a shining light for all ARMY! 💜⭐️💜⭐️💜⭐️
Let's GO! So great to see it! I feel the same way, to be able to bring such a unique energy to this community and group. It's an honor having you here! What hooked you into falling down this rabbit hole?
I'm a 28 year old guy, and I've been Army since 2020. I'm sad I wasn't around since day one, to support them, and fight for them along their journey, but I can say that I found them in the lowest point of my life. I am as straight as they come, but I hold the boys dearly in my heart, love them way too much, and to this day they are still my light and hope in life
I'm so glad you found your light brother. I feel sad sometimes myself but then I also think right away that I'm exactly where I need to be in this story! It's a long journey and we have so many more story's ahead of us. But one thing is for sure, we are here together 💜💜💜
I am a male fan, I'm 34 years old and I've been a fan of BTS for 3 and a half years. Male BTS fans are not always as vocal, that's why you don't see us around so much - but we're definitely around and watching and reading comments. I personally know plenty of male fans and ARMYs here on YT.
67 años. Aporto a Unicef y Medicos sin Fronteras en nombre de Taehyung. Comencé en 2020. Tengo dos hijos y dos nietos. Mi nieta de 7 años es Army. Mis hijos no son fans pero son muy respetuosos y uno de ellos admira mucho a Jungkook. Por qué? El tema musical ON me tocó el corazón y V. Kim Taehyung me emociona porque además soy Terapeuta de la voz y Lenguaje. Y tengo una experiencia de 40 años incluyendo niños con dificultades. Taehyung tiene un rango vocal extraordinario. Características psiconeurologicas extraordinarias y creo que estamos ante un genio. Amo profundamente a los 7. Creo que Blue and Grey es la mejor canción. Y ellos me dieron esperanza en el peor momento de mi vida. Gracias por preguntar y apoyarlos. I purple you. Borahae.🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
54 year old ARMY, from New Zealand 🇳🇿 (my birthday is 2 days before Jin's, and my mother's was the day after his). I found (or was found by) BTS in late 2019 - and realized I was ARMY mid 2020; and I've never looked back.💜
47 yo who's been a devoted ARMY for three years. After their VMA performance of Dynamite I looked them up, came across Epiphany live and absolutely bawled my eyes out. It was exactly what I needed to hear at the time and it completely changed my perspective on life. In fact they very litterally saved my life for which I'm forever thankful to them. 💜😊👍💜
60 y/o working mom here, BTS debuted in my life just before the pandemic and they have helped me with my own trials and struggles as a cancer survivor so I'm grateful for them. I bond more with my 21 y/o daughter now because she's an Army herself. Funny how a friend told me that a doctor friend of hers advised her that if anyone feels depressed, just listen to BTS 😊 💜.
58 and been Army for 4 years. BTS found me when I needed them most while my dad was dying. He’s been gone 2 1/2 yrs now and now I’m loosing my mom. God first but BTS is my lifeline! 💜🫰🏻
My dad also died 2 1/2 years ago and I lost my mom 4 months ago. Stay strong. I'm here for you if you need support or sb to talk to. I'm 56 and it is really hard to go through 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I will be 75 next March. Have been loving these artists for about 3 years. Saw them by accident on Saturday night live and have been following them ever since.
Oh that's cool! You really walked into them like I did. Just kinda living everyday life them BAM! HAHA Great to have you here with us and thank you for watching my video :)
47 and I’ve been ARMY for a few years. They found me a few weeks before a tornado destroyed my farm and home. They pulled me through it and brought me closer to my daughters. We saw SUGA in Chicago and it was like a cleansing from all the trauma. We purple you
I am SO happy that you were able to come back from such a tragedy. It seems everything needed to come down for you all to rebuild and become stronger in the end! I'm so happy that you found something that got you through the hard times and now you have something forever to take you away from the harsh world! I PURPLE YOU 💜💜💜💜
I’m 60 years old and I have been an Army for 4 years and I’m so proud of be a part of this community! Btw, thank you so much for your reaction! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
i want to give you few quotes from the boys themselves when they talked about army :) j-hope: ARMYs absolutely... I feel like they've become an icon themselves. I'm so proud of them. They're amazing. ARMY is like an artist in itself now, too. Sort of like they're one big symbol of the era? ARMY is as famous as BTS now. I think we give each other good energy, and helped each other to make something good. It might sound obvious coming from a member of BTS, but if I were ARMY, I'd never be ashamed to call myself a fan of BTS. Anyway, I seriously want them to always know I'm really, really grateful for them Jungkook: ARMY are the main characters. Everything we focus on comes back down to ARMY. We share in each other’s feelings & they’re the source of our strength. It’s not enough to just say ARMY & us like or love each other. There’s definitely more to it than that Jimin’s 2021 birthday live: In the past, when I thought about armys, they seemed like my friends or colleagues. But you know, even with the members… we didn’t all get along from the beginning. We were all so different. We liked different things. We had different personalities. The 7 of us got together, and spent time together, and 10 years has passed. So it’s not simply a matter of liking this person or not anymore. I’ve developed feeling that I can’t describe. So at first when we started to get fans, and ARMYs came to existence, when we promoted on music shows with them, and communicated with them, they felt like friends or colleagues. In my head, it felt like we had our arms around each other’s shoulders. But time went on, the relationship went beyond friendship, and beyond that, and beyond that, and beyond that. So now, I can’t explain it. For example, if someone asks us “What is ARMY to you?”, I’d be at a loss of words. It’s hard to describe in a word. Yes, that kind of relationship we developed. Actually, we don’t have a distant relationship, but I can’t simply say it’s a close relationship. But you’ve become someone I love, and miss at the same time. I think, we love each other so much. You don’t talk about stuff like this in your everyday life. You don’t tell someone “I love you” all the time. But we do. We proudly say “I love you”. We have that kind of relationship. I really really wish for your happiness. Really. Jimin’s 2021 birthday live: I met with some of my closest friends after work last night. And we ended up talking about you (ARMY) a lot. I really like these friends and… they said that I should be really thankful of you. So I said I know and I have to come to say hello to you after work tomorrow. I said I have to do a Vlive. That’s what we talked about. When I’m with my friends, we mention the word “ARMY” a lot more than you expect. When they’re joking around, and when someone teases me, I say “ARMY fans will come and get you”. They joke around together about that Namjoon on a Vlive after the concert in 2022: We have something different and special too…our ARMY. Being together with ARMY. BTS in 2022 is really complicated and sophisticated. When you say BTS, it’s not just 7 boys, it includes the industry, maybe the Korean thing but mostly the ARMY. the point is, bts isn't just about the 7 boys. it's a huge wave consisting of various people! and what they ignore is the existence of the army. different races, different genders, so many different types of people are meaningfully involved in this name bts. i just want people to know that. we might not be great as the self-made artists or anyone else but we got something special too, we got something different than others, i think. that can be nationality, language we use and we write, but i think the most important point is that the army and the people who truly support us and not just supporting but being together with us. so when you say the name of bts, it's not just the 7 boys. it includes the industry, the korean thing, the asian, and mostly the armys that truly are together in our every day lives. it's not one way it's mutual. we give them something, they give us something, i mean you guys give us something. and i truly felt today as well while seeing you guys in person and hearing your voices, it comes from the heart, and it's about the soul. it's about sharing hearts and sharing souls. where we might not know each other, if i didn't do this team or music, maybe i would have a trip in las vegas and pass by you guys as a tourist from korea. but through the music, performance, and team, we can be something, we call this 인연 (meant to be) in korean but we became something, a relationship. and i think that's everything. life is unfair, a lot of unluck, happiness and joy are really short but we met each other so we made something great 2022 Vogue Tae’s interview: I want to be close friends with the members of ARMY, and I talk to them on Weverse whenever I have a problem or something I want to share. This is how I want to interact all the time - I don’t like a businesslike approach to anything. I take photos because I like to, I do things because I like them and I approach people because I like them. I accept that you sometimes need a business mindset, but I’m not very good at that. That’s my weakness Namojon: I have to offer them the best night ever in their lives. So it’s a mess, and it’s too much energy. I’m a human and I really get nervous and I really sometimes get depressed by, and even get swallowed by, all the energies. But I try to deal with it because I love the music. I love their love. Because I think love is really happening when we give to somebody, not when we take. So I just want to give back to them. They brought us from just a small city in Korea, all the way back to the heart of this music industry, Las Vegas, L.A., New York. Me having an interview with Pharrell, it could happen because of fans all over the world. I’m just always grateful and I don’t want to disappoint them Yoongi: Loving someone unconditionally is one of the hardest things to do. So for the people who love us, we have to do really well. And we need to come back as an entire team as soon as we can. In order to you know, stan someone, it has to be fun. We have a responsibility to make sure they have lots of fun and enjoy, however we can, I think that's our mission now. It's not about becoming more successful or about better results. Now, the fans try to make that happen. We should feel grateful for that and make lots of memories with them Jungkook: The moment in my life when i'm the most happiest? When i see armys. That's when i'm the most happiest. That's why i like concerts. Of course standing on stage and performing live is nice, but without armys it's just singing. But i like singing and dancing with armys An army's question: Would you still love us if we were bugs? Jungkook: What do you mean? If you were bugs, I'd be bugs collector. I'll give you water, give you meal, raise each of you prettily. I'll make a forest in my house An army once wrote a post agonising that they has to watch the concert though illegal stream and that they were ashamed that they couldn't buy a ticket Jimin answered: Everything is fine. Don't hate yourself. Whatever the reason is, we will still love you. You are the reason i live. You are the driving force for us to be happy and work hard. Thank you sincerely. Thank you Jimin to army: You, who make me feel all these things, should also feel full of happiness and be loved. You should. Got it? Jimin: It's so heartening that we're growing old together. I'm never lonely thanks to army feeling the same emotions and reminiscing about the same things i do. I hope we can make you feel the same way and be a source of comfort to you at all times Jin: 10 years, 100 years. Let's be together always. My life is filled with true happiness thanks to you, army Yoongi: When there's something happy, just look around calmly. It's what my father always told me. I look around and army is all i can see
I'm a 78-year-old guy and I was hooked when I heard "Life Goes On" and I've been trying to learn more and more about them and their music ever since. Also really enjoying learning about Korean culture. Fun to watch them release their solo works over these last months.
I’m a 48 year old Swede. I started listening to BTS just this year, 6 months ago or so, I was recovering from a back surgery and was bored, I just decided to check out the group I knew was so famous but knew nothing about, I wanted to know what all the fuss was about. It took me less than a week to become a forever BTS fan… 🤣🤣🤣 Borahae 💜!
I hope your back is all good now!💜💜💜 But they do have that power don't they? That's like myself from the first MV reactions it was like BAMN All BTS all the time!
I’m 44 years old and a pandemic (2020) army here 😊 BTS found me during this crazy time and helped me a lot that I’m forever grateful. 💜 BTS army for life.
Let's freaking go! 2020... my son was born. I got through the pandemic and lost alot of self-confidence and worth. Bts is re sparking my fire. I'm so glad we have these boys in our life's. Let's make them and ARMY proud!
Hi, I am a 48 year old from Tennessee. I saw BTS perform Dynomite on America's Got Talent 2020. I was like, "Who are these amazing, beautiful, talented men?" I went looking and fell into the rabbit hole. I am ARMY for life, and so is my 25 year old daughter.💜 I don't have money to buy lots of merchandise, but my daughter has spent hundreds of dollars. Her BTS collection is her most prized possession. But BTS loves us both the same, and that is one reason their fan base is so big and loyal. They enjoy the money they've EARNED, but they are not greedy. Welcome to the ARMY! Borahae 💜
I'm 64 from Texas. I found kpop in 2010, and BTS in 2013 and I became Army. Still here 10 years later and not planning on leaving. I have my IRL family, and then there is the Army family all over the world. I have a game I play while travelling. I wear a BTS tshirt in a very public place to see how long it takes before another Army (sometimes a general kpop fan) approaches me. The longest time was 30 minutes in Saudia Arabia. Army is everywhere! 💜
THATS A GREAT IDEA! hahahha I'm all over that! I wanna play! Hahaha 💜💜💜 And that's right there is what I love is that we really have one giant family!!!
I'll be 55 at the end of this month. I've been a dedicated ARMY since 2019 so I've been in my 50's the whole time. The rap line is my soft spot and I love hip hop since BTS introduced me to it 💜💜💜
@@MasterGo89 ahahaaa 💜😆 yeap Well I love the boys and they are my happy pill 💜 I also came to make dear friends and soulmates actually from BTS ARMY which I have never came face to face yet but hope to meet soon maybe at a concert in 2025🎉💫🙏🏻💜 and we literally are each other’s family My daughter visited one of my dear ARMY friends which we are in communication since about 4-5 years via ONLY online (JUST LIKE THE WAY WE KNOW OUR BOYS ) and stayed over for a week. We are family 💜 ARMY & BTS we are family 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Welcome to the family 💫
so sweet did you see then when when they performed in saudi? or do you live somewhere else? i have seen clips and army there is so hilarious and the guards is so annoyed hehe i would love to have been there😂
I’m 41 and BTS found me when I turned 40. 💜 I was at first in denial that I was becoming a fan because I had that superficial knowledge that only teenagers are ARMYs. That was until I decided to jump into the rabbit hole, watching their content from the early years of Run BTS to the most recent season of In The Soop, and I started listening and learning the lyrics to their more meaningful songs. BTS is an amazing band of gifted artists and ARMY is a wonderful community to belong to. APOBANGPO! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I’m 78 years old and learned of BTS from my grandson at the start of the pandemic. They helped me keep a positive outlook and provided laughs and entertainment when I really needed it. I wish I had been there since day one. Thanks to those early ARMY fans who ensured the boys succeeded until I found them. I’ll always be grateful. I’m in California.
I became an ARMY in 2020 so I am fairly new. They say BTS finds you when you need it most which is what happened to me. During COVID I was laid off from my job of 28+ years which was less than two years from retirement. Finding a job during COVID was extremely hard and being over 55 didn't help. During my job search I would workout everyday as a sanity break. When I was working out I heard Dynamite and found out it was by BTS. Then I heard Butter, again by BTS. Then I heard Permission to Dance by BTS and wanted to find out more about them and listen to more of their music. I started down the BTS "rabbit hole" and still haven't come out. My daughter bought us tickets to see Agust D in Chicago and it was the most amazing experience. The show was incredible of course and the ARMY's there were so kind! This is an awesome community that I am proud to be a part of. Keep up your reactions. I enjoy watching your journey.
I'm turning 27 in 9 days and have been with the guys for almost 10 years. I can't tell you how much they've done for me and what I learned on this journey with them. Also meeting so many people (that you prob. would've never meet) just because we love those 7 guys from sk really feels amazing. I'm glad that they've become my second family, I wouldn't have it any other way. 💜
I'm 71 yrs. old from the Phils. BTS is the vitamin & supplement That I have to see & hear everyday in any form of media. They are my happiness & I love them so much no matter what. They really heal & lighten issues & matters that bothers me in my life. Great example also to the youth of today. I listen to all their music & never tire watching their concerts, run bts, etc.
55 years old and found BTS in 2020…… dragged my skeptical husband to see BTS live in Los Angeles, Permission to Dance concert - he enjoyed it so much, he is Army now too at 59 years old ….. we went to PTD in Vegas as well and then to see Suga in Chicago for the D-Day tour ….. those concerts were some of the best times of my life.
45-year old American man. I was listening to Kpop in the 1990s before it was even a thing and expanded out to other forms of modern artistic genres. And after so long of just not paying attention to the Kpop scene, this week I finally went to check out my first BTS song and surprisingly discovered Jimin's debut album songs only to be so blown away by his genius. He now motivated me to go back to check out as much BTS as I'm able. 🎉💜 Absolutely love these guys now.
ayyy lets go! We have a OG in the house! Thank you so much for checking out my video. I actually just reacted to Set me free and dude... I was shook! hahah Im really interested in Kpop and its beginings also I cant wait to explore Korean culture!
57 BTS found me during the beginning of the pandemic with Life Goes On. As with most everyone, I had lost everything that was normal to me. Then I heard this angelic voice on a Samsung commercial. I had to know who belonged to that voice. Jimin, my bias. As with the majority of us, each member snatches you heart at some point or another. I love all 7 of them. Thank you for joining all of us in this journey. Can't wait to see where we go next 💜
57 years old BTS ARMY. I found them in 2020 during the pandemic. They helped me and changed me in so many ways. My husband is also ARMY He's 58. And my daughter is an Agust D fan. She's 32
I am 54. I’ve known their music for the last 5 years, as my daughter was a huge fan in her teens. It’s just been in the last 18 months I’ve become ARMY myself. The newer music pulled me in, but learning about them and going through their catalog has been the most amazing journey. I’ve made friends from different places in the world, actually meeting up with one and hanging out on my last trip to Disneyland. My Bestie has become ARMY as well, and we flew 5 hours to LA to see Yoongi, stayed overnight, then flew home. It was the most amazing experience. Like one huge family. 💜
It really is a big family. I can't wait to get out and travel and see everyone personally at my first show. You KNOW ima vlog that sheet! Haha I feel so at home responding to everyone's comments and being here making videos. I'm not judged, and I'm free to be myself. I'm so lucky to be here with you guys and BTS. 💜💜💜💜
I’m a 61 year old woman. My introduction to BTS was JK in Qatar, I wanted to see who he was and fell in love with the group he belongs to. My admiration for them and for the Army
I'm a male and currently 31, will be 32 in a few months forward.. I was listening to BTS casually for a year just because they have a great bop song, but I started deep diving into BTS from 2018.. so, maybe 5-6 years now with BTS? 😅💜
LETS GOOOOOO BRO! HAHA⭐️ We are close in age I'm 34. In this for two months already! I'm so excited to see where this rabbit hole takes me. I bet it has been quite the journey for you as well. Glad to have my doods with me! 💜⭐️💜
Im in the 50+ column. One of the things that I have loved is I have always been very open to new great music, but I found BTS through RMs SEOUL..... then I bought his album INDIGO and was blown away. The excitement has been addictive..... to find music so great and that felt so fresh, with a creative eclecticism that has me completely hooked. I became like a truffle hound just searching out more and more and more. Each new gem building the addiction. The great thing is also after you find BTS you can share them with your grandchildren.
Im 23 years old and i found BTS in one of the hardest times of my entire life. I found them in very early of 2017, around the time when my dog, my grandpa and my grandma passed away and i had to move out of my family home multible hours away from my family when i was just 17. Im so thankful for BTS because they helped me through that time and showed me how to heal in a healthy way.💜
I'm so glad you are here with me today! 🙇 I'm so honored to have you enjoying these videos with me and I'm very happy to chat! 💜💜💜 all because of these boys we can connect where it may have never been possible. Oh how fun life is 💜⭐️💜
Greetings! 75 years old woman on August 20, 2023! I discovered BTS in 2017 while searching for dance videos because I was missing my dead parents who were WONDERFUL dancers. Thanks Mama and Dad for gracing my life with BTS! I watch BTS videos and reaction videos every day and they and Army have gifted me with joy always. Due to an operation for malignant cancer, I have extreme chronic edema in my left leg and experience pain 24/7. But with BTS and Army and my extraordinary Swedish husband (we live in Sweden), I wake up happy every morning, laugh frequently every day and thoroughly enjoy my life. I purple you Armys across the world. You bless my life! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🙏 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
i am almost 40 years old woman, and i have been army for about 3 years now😊 and i could not have been happier. BTS is the best thing that has happen to me
Hola👋🏼I became an ARMY in 2016. My then 13yr old daughter wanted to learn Korean and came across BTS. I needed to know what she was listening to and in the process of reaching who they were I became a fan. I’m a young 57 year old because the rap line keeps me bopping 💜
THANK YOU SO MUCH 😄😄😄 It's really hard to be positive sometimes but with good people and good role models like the boys! It becomes easier each passing day! Thank you so much for joining me here today and enjoying my video 💜💜💜
55yrs and have been listening since 2017…. So began around 48!!! I was introduced by my teenager! BTS saved her and I began to dive into how&who could make Such an impact on her life ; especially in a foreign language, and I fell in LoVe! I’ve been blessed to have gotten to go to 5 concerts and am currently saving for 2025/26 Tour!!!! BORAHAE ArmyFam! StayGold!💜🤩
Tengo 39 años y conocí a BTS hace 2 años, los amo demasiado y me han enseñado tanto, así como Army se convirtió en mis mejores amigas, saludos desde Costa Rica 🇨🇷💜💜💜💜
Just last month had my 60th birthday and have been a fan of BTS for about 8years now. I love their music and message as I'm a lover of many different genres of music. I have always been involved in making music as a musician and vocalist since I was 14years old and I'm in the UK.
i discovered bts when i was 22, i'm 25 now :) back then i was just graduating w my masters and entering "actual adulthood", getting my first serious job, etc. it was a lot of adjustment and anxiety, but it was less scary knowing i have bts as an example to follow
Listening since 2018. I'm a 68 year old Psychotherapist led to BTS by my younger clients. Many of them reported to me that BTS saved their lives! I had to check that out!
I'm 38, I knew/heard of BTS for some time but I'm an ARMY for a year now. I love you Army's. This comment section is gorgeous and inspiring. I wish I could give you all a big hug! 💜💜💜💜
I’m in my 50’s and ARMY since ON era 2020. I was blown away by their performance at Grand Central on Jimmy Fallon. Love to see you learn and grow to love BTS. I love xCeleste videos too. I agree, BTS is so much more than a pop group. The more you know the more you see they are changing the world for the better. Thank you for your reactions. I really enjoy watching you learn about BTS. Borahae and apobangpo! 💜
I’m 18 but I listen to bts since 2017! I love their message and got so many friends throughout the years. I would never change that. I was bullied for liking them and had bad times because of my father but they were always there for me… i can’t describe how thankful I am to them and for them in any words…
Hi. German ARMY here. Turned 56 on August 3rd. My now 19 yr old daughter showed me BTS first time in August 2018… but honestly I wasn’t really interested. She continued to show me BTS content. Then one moment caught my attention and for myself I say I became ARMY Jan 2019. Lucky enough I was able to attend their concert at Wembley Stadium on 1st June 2019 together with my daughter. These 7 young men bring me so much hope, love and happiness and I’m so thankful that they’ve found me. Next year my daughter and I want to travel to Korea. And I know that I’m in this Bangtan Sonyeondan shit for the rest of my life! Borahae 💜
Hi! I am 63 and have been army for about a year and a half. I have long Covid and spent most of the last year unable to work. BTS got me through some rough, painful days. Thankfully I am much better! They were in my peripheral hearing of songs and news, but never checked them out. Isolation can bring on sadness and I knew I needed to make choices to become happy. I remember seeing JHopes smile and did my search. That was it! Our sunshine and the 6 other brothers made me laugh and smile! I began seriously BINGE watching everything! X Celeste and Taylor’s documentaries; MV’s, dance practices, interviews and then discovered amazing reactors - including YOU! I love how caring and sincere each member is and they have a very special synergy. I wish there were more Army members my age where I live in Maine. Borahae to all of you and many more interactions watching your reactions for years to come. 💜😊👍🏽👏🏽🎼🫶🏽
I'm 46, from Malaysia. I enjoy your reaction videos. I'm somewhat "new" compared to many ARMYs. And "Thank You!" for featuring xCeleste again. She's really awesome.
Welcome to my journey!💜 so glad to have you here! I really enjoy her videos. I think I would fanboy like crazy ever talking with her. I'm sure I could learn a ton! And I'm 2 months old into this.We can fall together down this rabbit hole 💜💜💜
I'm part of the 4% 50 and up, up, up. dove into BTS and Kpop in 2019 when my mood was very low. I feel a bit better after listening to BTS each time. They let me sink into the positive even when they are dealing with difficult subjects.
I've been in the Army since 2019, I'm 56 years old, I live in Brazil and I love the boys for the message, humility and affection they have with their fans. they are very important to me as they taught me to love myself and value myself.
I'll be 29 in September, and I've been ARMY since 2018. My 3 kids are all ARMY as well, my youngest was a baby when I became a fan, so she's literally grown up with BTS. Like many others, BTS found me, and helped me when I was at such a bad place mentally. I owe them so much
I discovered BTS in 2016. I was 49 and I’m now 56. I have always had a great appreciation of music (thanks to an aunt who introduced me to classic jazz artists, Hendrix, Stones, Janis Joplin, and a wide range of other music when I was 8-9 years old when she bought me my first adult album, In Through The Out Door by Led Zepplin.)) and I’m always searching for new and interesting artists, typically foreign. (I like Russian alternative and French pop.). Anyway, I found myself watching BTS’ dance practice for fire and I was IMMEDIATELY hooked. I couldn’t get enough. I think I drove my husband and my mother insane. And all my friends. Fuck’em. I don’t care. I absolutely love the journey because it energizes me. I left a 25 year career in law to open an online clothing boutique and I literally lived and breathed BTS. My contemporaries are still listening to the same shit they listened to back in the 80’s and 90’s. I’ve always appreciated current music and I’m always searching for good music and entertainment. I’ve always trended towards like alternative, but I like a little of everything. I was a Beatles fan, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Marilyn Manson, EVERYTHING! I’ve seen all the greats in concert and have been a huge fan of them at the height of their careers. But NEVER in my 49 year endeavor into all kinds of music have I ever come across anyone like BTS. It’s a universe. A way of life. They honestly gave me the courage to sink all my savings into the my boutique and their words got me through some tough times and kept me pushing through a lot of struggles when I wanted to throw up my hands and give up. Suga said something that gets me back on my feet every time. Now I own four boutiques and BTS (and reaction videos when I can find time to sit down for a few minutes) is always playing. I listen to other stuff of course, but BTS is always on every playlist I have. Even my bluegrass playlist, lol! And if you plan to go Roma concert, just know it’s a process and you need to do a few things like join the ARMY to get access to buy the tickets as an official fan or you’ll end upmoaying thousands of dollars for nosebleed seats IF you can get them at all. And try for barricade sound check. It’s around $900 per ticket, but it’s worth it. That’s the one I got. I checked online and there was a ticket in the 23 row left if center stage selling for $25,000. Mine was priceless! I probably could have sold it for $50k, but the thought never crossed my mind. I was going and that was that. I’ll go again if they tour the states again. They go hard for over two hours.
38 years old from central Europe here! ARMY for over 4 years. What brought me in was the lyrics, what kept me in was incredible feeling of belonging. I also like xCeleste videos, i think other good creator is Sugarmy with their videos, you should check them too.
A bit late to the party but here I go. I'm 26 yo female from Poland (European armies are often overlooked, the focus being more on Asia and North America but we are numerous! 💜). I've heard about "pop boyband" BTS and about "toxic, screaming on the internet, teenage fangirls ARMY" (🙄) when I was still in high school and about k-pop probably already in middle school but because they were so poorly represented in media, on the internet and there was (and still is!) a lot of prejudice I've never researched them nor listened to their music. I've came across them again in 2020, at the begining of the pandemic, while looking for cool songs and choreographies for my work-outs. They've got me hooked up really quickly and I've become an ARMY at the end of 2020 (right before "Dynamite" and "BE" dropped so I'm an ARMY of between "MOTS7" and "Dynamite"). ☺ Now I deeply regret not checking them out sooner, but hey! They say BTS finds you when you need them most! 😉 I've noticed that my mental health has been constanlty dropping for many years now (since childhood actually) and I am now at a very dark place in life. But I feel like BTS (and ARMY) is often the only thing that still keeps me sane and craving for the change. They are so inspirational, positive, hard-working and beautiful human beings! Pandemic didn't had a big impact on me because I was so engaged in diving into BTS' content that it kinda came and went before I even noticed lol. But my mental health is still dropping and BTS seems often like a lifeline, the lifebelt of mine... When the day and the life, and myself suck so bad I turn to them and I am able to smile again - it's something that sometimes even my closest loved ones cannot achieve. The bond that BTS creates with ARMY is really special, magical. There is THIS THING - we can never really describe *what* it is but we can all feel *it*. Love, fate, respect, friendship, partnership... It's all this but also so much more. I really, really love them and respect them from the bottom of my heart and I will be an ARMY forever. When you get here, you stay here, for a lifetime. And they wish to stay with us. APOBANGPO. 💜 I hope that BTS will keep me sane and motivate me until I can finally change myself and my life and go forward. I'll be forever grateful to them. I feel like I can only achieve that with their and ARMY's support. I'm having fun watching your videos MG, you nice keep going. Borahae to all who'll read this comment! 💜
Tengo 48 años, siendo ARMY 6 años y medio. Nunca había parte de un fandom, realmente me gustaban algunos cantantes o grupos y ya, tenía un cantante favorito por alrededor de 30 años, pero BTS cambió mi visión de muchas cosas. Life goes on es el sencillo principal de su álbum BE. Para este álbum los chicos no solo participaron en escritura y composición, sino que encabezaron los trabajos en las diferentes áreas que se involucran en un lanzamiento: producción musical, dirección del proyecto, diseño, vestuario, imagen, etc. En este álbum reflejaron los sentimientos y estados de ánimo que vivieron y en general todos vivimos por la pandemia y el confinamiento en casa.
56years old. I've been an ARMY for 6 years now. I've been regularly participating in charity projects, translating BTS' content for fan bases when they need help, voting, daily requesting BTS' songs to radios, streaming all day while working..... you know, I've been very busy "ARMYING" these past years 😅
@@MasterGo89 you r so right! However, it's more than that. kThese 7 angels keep me close to my (now) 18 yo daughter and they keep me mentally healthy..... lost my job since the pandemic, also my father with dementia died in 2020, and I lost my mom 3 months ago. Being a single mom for the last 15 years, my children, BTS and my ARMY family kept me going through tough times! 💜💜💜💜
You are so strong! Life really is a challange. But my God, the ways we can cope and deal with these traumatic experiences is something just as strong! 💜💜💜💜
I am going to be 35 yo this year and started being a BTS fan in 2015, so that makes me 27 then..that means, even at th3 start, I was not a screaming teenage girl. BTS is the only group I stan but I also listen to other artists, and I mean any artist I come across. I like particular songs of these other artists, but I did not really became attached to them like I am with BTS. They (BTS) just have the qualities as a music act, and as people that I resonate with.💜
Hi Yall! I will be 60 years old in August. I became an army in 2020 or 2021. I caught covid and stuck in bed. First video i watched was On. Like you learning the deeper meaning. That led to more videos. I was/am so proud of these young men. Each time they appeared at the UN i cried. Could not be prouder if they were my own children.
I am 40 years old .i am been part of arme for 4 years.All these 4 years have been the best days of my life and will be in the future and I am really proud to be a part of this fandom.
I believe the number of male armies have increase significantly the past year, at the PTD and Yoongi’s Dday concerts I saw a number of male armies. We even exchange gift. I’m 32 btw 😆
53yo female. ARMY since 2014! Borahae from California everybody!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😊❤️I can tell you BTS helps me with crippling depression every day. I feel much better these days and I know I am not the only one. Thanks Master Go for creating content. You help people smile as well ❤
I want you to know that it fills my heart knowing that I can make a difference in your life with these videos! I think we all have these hard times in our lives, but knowing that you are not alone and you have us and the boys... ah man I hope you know that we are all here for each other! I can't wait to help you smile with the next BTS video 💜🎊💜🎊💜🎊

71. Been a fan since 2019. My young granddaughter began living with me and I wanted an alternative to the western music I didn't approve of. I found these young men and was blown away. We are both avid fans now and are planning a trip to South Korea next fall. She is respectfull, loving and bows to her elders.
I am terminally ill and BTS music has really helped me be positive through all the pain.
The love for these young men and their music is something only she and I share in our family. What memories we are creating with their help! (My memorial service will only have BTS music. Our favorites)
I can't say enough about what joy, peace and love we now have in our lives thanks to BTS.
🙇 I bow to you today!💜
I'm so glad that you have found something that can bring you so much happiness and also bond you and your granddaughter! Ah that makes me so happy!
I just want you to know how special it is to have you here with us and enjoying these videos I make online! It is a real honor.
Thank you for being here and just know you are a shining light for all ARMY! 💜⭐️💜⭐️💜⭐️
Thank you! You are a great reactor. We enjoy your love and passion for BTS. Welcome to the family!
What an amazing bond. I hope I can share this wis my grandsons. Health is what´s coming to you and I hope you enjoy tons your trip to Korea
Thank you! We are so looking forward to the trip!
@elizabethmarchese3029 Hi there! Am not sure if you're a hugger but i wanna offer a hug albeit virtually >> 🤗
I'm a 66-year-old male and have been part of ARMY for 4 years. I couldn't be prouder for more enthusiastic about being a part of this fan base.
Let's GO! So great to see it! I feel the same way, to be able to bring such a unique energy to this community and group.
It's an honor having you here! What hooked you into falling down this rabbit hole?
I'm a 28 year old guy, and I've been Army since 2020. I'm sad I wasn't around since day one, to support them, and fight for them along their journey, but I can say that I found them in the lowest point of my life. I am as straight as they come, but I hold the boys dearly in my heart, love them way too much, and to this day they are still my light and hope in life
I'm so glad you found your light brother.
I feel sad sometimes myself but then I also think right away that I'm exactly where I need to be in this story! It's a long journey and we have so many more story's ahead of us. But one thing is for sure, we are here together 💜💜💜
aww this makes me so happy it´s rare i se male army write comments and i LOVE that.
I am a male fan, I'm 34 years old and I've been a fan of BTS for 3 and a half years. Male BTS fans are not always as vocal, that's why you don't see us around so much - but we're definitely around and watching and reading comments. I personally know plenty of male fans and ARMYs here on YT.
Hell yeah brother same age! Lets goooo! Im so glad to see the lads here repping! 💜💜💜
I am 29 years old male ARMY .. And yes I love BTS.. forever ARMY!!
LETS GO BROOOOO! YES! I love to see it! 💜💜💜💜 how did BTS come into your life?
Im 14 years and and my mom is also a Army, my mom age is 45
67 años. Aporto a Unicef y Medicos sin Fronteras en nombre de Taehyung. Comencé en 2020. Tengo dos hijos y dos nietos. Mi nieta de 7 años es Army. Mis hijos no son fans pero son muy respetuosos y uno de ellos admira mucho a Jungkook. Por qué? El tema musical ON me tocó el corazón y V. Kim Taehyung me emociona porque además soy Terapeuta de la voz y Lenguaje. Y tengo una experiencia de 40 años incluyendo niños con dificultades. Taehyung tiene un rango vocal extraordinario. Características psiconeurologicas extraordinarias y creo que estamos ante un genio. Amo profundamente a los 7. Creo que Blue and Grey es la mejor canción. Y ellos me dieron esperanza en el peor momento de mi vida. Gracias por preguntar y apoyarlos. I purple you. Borahae.🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
54 year old ARMY, from New Zealand 🇳🇿 (my birthday is 2 days before Jin's, and my mother's was the day after his). I found (or was found by) BTS in late 2019 - and realized I was ARMY mid 2020; and I've never looked back.💜
21 years old army! I been here since the debut in 2013, it has been 10 long years, but my love for the boys just grows everyday more and more.
I owe you a debt of gratitude for supporting the guys so long. Well done.
47 yo who's been a devoted ARMY for three years. After their VMA performance of Dynamite I looked them up, came across Epiphany live and absolutely bawled my eyes out. It was exactly what I needed to hear at the time and it completely changed my perspective on life. In fact they very litterally saved my life for which I'm forever thankful to them.
💜😊👍💜
60 y/o working mom here, BTS debuted in my life just before the pandemic and they have helped me with my own trials and struggles as a cancer survivor so I'm grateful for them. I bond more with my 21 y/o daughter now because she's an Army herself. Funny how a friend told me that a doctor friend of hers advised her that if anyone feels depressed, just listen to BTS 😊 💜.
BTS a day keeps the doctor away 😄
I honestly love your story and am so inspired by you! 💜💜💜💜 BIG HUGS, I PURPLE YOU!
58 and been Army for 4 years. BTS found me when I needed them most while my dad was dying. He’s been gone 2 1/2 yrs now and now I’m loosing my mom. God first but BTS is my lifeline! 💜🫰🏻
My dad also died 2 1/2 years ago and I lost my mom 4 months ago. Stay strong. I'm here for you if you need support or sb to talk to. I'm 56 and it is really hard to go through
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
@@Mia-wr6sx I’m so sorry for your loss! Here for you as well! Thank you 💜🫰🏻 Borahae 🫰🏻💜
I will be 75 next March. Have been loving these artists for about 3 years. Saw them by accident on Saturday night live and have been following them ever since.
Oh that's cool! You really walked into them like I did. Just kinda living everyday life them BAM! HAHA Great to have you here with us and thank you for watching my video :)
47 and I’ve been ARMY for a few years. They found me a few weeks before a tornado destroyed my farm and home. They pulled me through it and brought me closer to my daughters. We saw SUGA in Chicago and it was like a cleansing from all the trauma. We purple you
I am SO happy that you were able to come back from such a tragedy. It seems everything needed to come down for you all to rebuild and become stronger in the end! I'm so happy that you found something that got you through the hard times and now you have something forever to take you away from the harsh world! I PURPLE YOU 💜💜💜💜
I’m 60 years old and I have been an Army for 4 years and I’m so proud of be a part of this community! Btw, thank you so much for your reaction! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Oh not a problem! It's so much fun for me making these videos! Glad you enjoyed💜💜💜
i want to give you few quotes from the boys themselves when they talked about army :)
j-hope: ARMYs absolutely... I feel like they've become an icon themselves. I'm so proud of them. They're amazing. ARMY is like an artist in itself now, too. Sort of like they're one big symbol of the era? ARMY is as famous as BTS now. I think we give each other good energy, and helped each other to make something good. It might sound obvious coming from a member of BTS, but if I were ARMY, I'd never be ashamed to call myself a fan of BTS. Anyway, I seriously want them to always know I'm really, really grateful for them
Jungkook: ARMY are the main characters. Everything we focus on comes back down to ARMY. We share in each other’s feelings & they’re the source of our strength. It’s not enough to just say ARMY & us like or love each other. There’s definitely more to it than that
Jimin’s 2021 birthday live: In the past, when I thought about armys, they seemed like my friends or colleagues. But you know, even with the members… we didn’t all get along from the beginning. We were all so different. We liked different things. We had different personalities. The 7 of us got together, and spent time together, and 10 years has passed. So it’s not simply a matter of liking this person or not anymore. I’ve developed feeling that I can’t describe. So at first when we started to get fans, and ARMYs came to existence, when we promoted on music shows with them, and communicated with them, they felt like friends or colleagues. In my head, it felt like we had our arms around each other’s shoulders. But time went on, the relationship went beyond friendship, and beyond that, and beyond that, and beyond that. So now, I can’t explain it. For example, if someone asks us “What is ARMY to you?”, I’d be at a loss of words. It’s hard to describe in a word. Yes, that kind of relationship we developed. Actually, we don’t have a distant relationship, but I can’t simply say it’s a close relationship. But you’ve become someone I love, and miss at the same time. I think, we love each other so much. You don’t talk about stuff like this in your everyday life. You don’t tell someone “I love you” all the time. But we do. We proudly say “I love you”. We have that kind of relationship. I really really wish for your happiness. Really.
Jimin’s 2021 birthday live: I met with some of my closest friends after work last night. And we ended up talking about you (ARMY) a lot. I really like these friends and… they said that I should be really thankful of you. So I said I know and I have to come to say hello to you after work tomorrow. I said I have to do a Vlive. That’s what we talked about. When I’m with my friends, we mention the word “ARMY” a lot more than you expect. When they’re joking around, and when someone teases me, I say “ARMY fans will come and get you”. They joke around together about that
Namjoon on a Vlive after the concert in 2022: We have something different and special too…our ARMY. Being together with ARMY. BTS in 2022 is really complicated and sophisticated. When you say BTS, it’s not just 7 boys, it includes the industry, maybe the Korean thing but mostly the ARMY. the point is, bts isn't just about the 7 boys. it's a huge wave consisting of various people! and what they ignore is the existence of the army. different races, different genders, so many different types of people are meaningfully involved in this name bts. i just want people to know that. we might not be great as the self-made artists or anyone else but we got something special too, we got something different than others, i think. that can be nationality, language we use and we write, but i think the most important point is that the army and the people who truly support us and not just supporting but being together with us. so when you say the name of bts, it's not just the 7 boys. it includes the industry, the korean thing, the asian, and mostly the armys that truly are together in our every day lives. it's not one way it's mutual. we give them something, they give us something, i mean you guys give us something. and i truly felt today as well while seeing you guys in person and hearing your voices, it comes from the heart, and it's about the soul. it's about sharing hearts and sharing souls. where we might not know each other, if i didn't do this team or music, maybe i would have a trip in las vegas and pass by you guys as a tourist from korea. but through the music, performance, and team, we can be something, we call this 인연 (meant to be) in korean but we became something, a relationship. and i think that's everything. life is unfair, a lot of unluck, happiness and joy are really short but we met each other so we made something great
2022 Vogue Tae’s interview: I want to be close friends with the members of ARMY, and I talk to them on Weverse whenever I have a problem or something I want to share. This is how I want to interact all the time - I don’t like a businesslike approach to anything. I take photos because I like to, I do things because I like them and I approach people because I like them. I accept that you sometimes need a business mindset, but I’m not very good at that. That’s my weakness
Namojon: I have to offer them the best night ever in their lives. So it’s a mess, and it’s too much energy. I’m a human and I really get nervous and I really sometimes get depressed by, and even get swallowed by, all the energies. But I try to deal with it because I love the music. I love their love. Because I think love is really happening when we give to somebody, not when we take. So I just want to give back to them. They brought us from just a small city in Korea, all the way back to the heart of this music industry, Las Vegas, L.A., New York. Me having an interview with Pharrell, it could happen because of fans all over the world. I’m just always grateful and I don’t want to disappoint them
Yoongi: Loving someone unconditionally is one of the hardest things to do. So for the people who love us, we have to do really well. And we need to come back as an entire team as soon as we can. In order to you know, stan someone, it has to be fun. We have a responsibility to make sure they have lots of fun and enjoy, however we can, I think that's our mission now. It's not about becoming more successful or about better results. Now, the fans try to make that happen. We should feel grateful for that and make lots of memories with them
Jungkook: The moment in my life when i'm the most happiest? When i see armys. That's when i'm the most happiest. That's why i like concerts. Of course standing on stage and performing live is nice, but without armys it's just singing. But i like singing and dancing with armys
An army's question: Would you still love us if we were bugs?
Jungkook: What do you mean? If you were bugs, I'd be bugs collector. I'll give you water, give you meal, raise each of you prettily. I'll make a forest in my house
An army once wrote a post agonising that they has to watch the concert though illegal stream and that they were ashamed that they couldn't buy a ticket
Jimin answered: Everything is fine. Don't hate yourself. Whatever the reason is, we will still love you. You are the reason i live. You are the driving force for us to be happy and work hard. Thank you sincerely. Thank you
Jimin to army: You, who make me feel all these things, should also feel full of happiness and be loved. You should. Got it?
Jimin: It's so heartening that we're growing old together. I'm never lonely thanks to army feeling the same emotions and reminiscing about the same things i do. I hope we can make you feel the same way and be a source of comfort to you at all times
Jin: 10 years, 100 years. Let's be together always. My life is filled with true happiness thanks to you, army
Yoongi: When there's something happy, just look around calmly. It's what my father always told me. I look around and army is all i can see
OMG! Thank you for these quotes 😭 They are so true and so heart warming ☺️ I'm crying, they totally hit me in my feels 💜💜💜
Thank you so much for sharing all this with us!
I'm a 78-year-old guy and I was hooked when I heard "Life Goes On" and I've been trying to learn more and more about them and their music ever since. Also really enjoying learning about Korean culture. Fun to watch them release their solo works over these last months.
I’m a 48 year old Swede. I started listening to BTS just this year, 6 months ago or so, I was recovering from a back surgery and was bored, I just decided to check out the group I knew was so famous but knew nothing about, I wanted to know what all the fuss was about. It took me less than a week to become a forever BTS fan… 🤣🤣🤣 Borahae 💜!
I hope your back is all good now!💜💜💜
But they do have that power don't they? That's like myself from the first MV reactions it was like BAMN All BTS all the time!
I’m 44 years old and a pandemic (2020) army here 😊 BTS found me during this crazy time and helped me a lot that I’m forever grateful. 💜 BTS army for life.
Let's freaking go!
2020... my son was born. I got through the pandemic and lost alot of self-confidence and worth. Bts is re sparking my fire. I'm so glad we have these boys in our life's. Let's make them and ARMY proud!
Hi,
I am a 48 year old from Tennessee. I saw BTS perform Dynomite on America's Got Talent 2020. I was like, "Who are these amazing, beautiful, talented men?"
I went looking and fell into the rabbit hole. I am ARMY for life, and so is my 25 year old daughter.💜
I don't have money to buy lots of merchandise, but my daughter has spent hundreds of dollars. Her BTS collection is her most prized possession. But BTS loves us both the same, and that is one reason their fan base is so big and loyal. They enjoy the money they've EARNED, but they are not greedy.
Welcome to the ARMY! Borahae 💜
I'm 64 from Texas. I found kpop in 2010, and BTS in 2013 and I became Army. Still here 10 years later and not planning on leaving. I have my IRL family, and then there is the Army family all over the world. I have a game I play while travelling. I wear a BTS tshirt in a very public place to see how long it takes before another Army (sometimes a general kpop fan) approaches me. The longest time was 30 minutes in Saudia Arabia. Army is everywhere! 💜
THATS A GREAT IDEA! hahahha I'm all over that! I wanna play! Hahaha 💜💜💜
And that's right there is what I love is that we really have one giant family!!!
I'll be 55 at the end of this month. I've been a dedicated ARMY since 2019 so I've been in my 50's the whole time. The rap line is my soft spot and I love hip hop since BTS introduced me to it 💜💜💜
I'm 31 and grown with bangtan. I'm Army since 2015 and is the best desition ever. Honestly always gonna be with they.
i am 49 years old and an ARMY since about 6 years thanks to my daughter who introduced the boys to me 💜🥰🙏🏻hello from Turkey🇹🇷
Hello Turkey from Canada!
I'm so glad your daughter got you involved! Because of this WE GOT TO CHAT TODAY!! That's everything to me haha! 💜💜💜
@@MasterGo89 ahahaaa 💜😆 yeap
Well I love the boys and they are my happy pill 💜
I also came to make dear friends and soulmates actually from BTS ARMY which I have never came face to face yet but hope to meet soon maybe at a concert in 2025🎉💫🙏🏻💜 and we literally are each other’s family
My daughter visited one of my dear ARMY friends which we are in communication since about 4-5 years via ONLY online (JUST LIKE THE WAY WE KNOW OUR BOYS ) and stayed over for a week.
We are family 💜 ARMY & BTS we are family 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Welcome to the family 💫
I'm 24 y.o ARMY, since 2017 💜💜 I'm an Arab ARMY. Being with BTS and this lovely fandom is my best decision ever. ARMY Borahae!! Apobangapo!! 💜💜💜
so sweet did you see then when when they performed in saudi? or do you live somewhere else? i have seen clips and army there is so hilarious and the guards is so annoyed hehe i would love to have been there😂
I’m 41 and BTS found me when I turned 40. 💜
I was at first in denial that I was becoming a fan because I had that superficial knowledge that only teenagers are ARMYs. That was until I decided to jump into the rabbit hole, watching their content from the early years of Run BTS to the most recent season of In The Soop, and I started listening and learning the lyrics to their more meaningful songs. BTS is an amazing band of gifted artists and ARMY is a wonderful community to belong to. APOBANGPO! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I’m 78 years old and learned of BTS from my grandson at the start of the pandemic. They helped me keep a positive outlook and provided laughs and entertainment when I really needed it. I wish I had been there since day one. Thanks to those early ARMY fans who ensured the boys succeeded until I found them. I’ll always be grateful. I’m in California.
I became an ARMY in 2020 so I am fairly new. They say BTS finds you when you need it most which is what happened to me. During COVID I was laid off from my job of 28+ years which was less than two years from retirement. Finding a job during COVID was extremely hard and being over 55 didn't help. During my job search I would workout everyday as a sanity break. When I was working out I heard Dynamite and found out it was by BTS. Then I heard Butter, again by BTS. Then I heard Permission to Dance by BTS and wanted to find out more about them and listen to more of their music. I started down the BTS "rabbit hole" and still haven't come out. My daughter bought us tickets to see Agust D in Chicago and it was the most amazing experience. The show was incredible of course and the ARMY's there were so kind! This is an awesome community that I am proud to be a part of. Keep up your reactions. I enjoy watching your journey.
66 year old ARMY since summer of 2021 🫰🏻💜🇨🇦
64 years old. Fan since 2016. Best decision I ever made.
Look at you go! I have to agree with you! *Best decision I ever made*
I'm turning 27 in 9 days and have been with the guys for almost 10 years. I can't tell you how much they've done for me and what I learned on this journey with them. Also meeting so many people (that you prob. would've never meet) just because we love those 7 guys from sk really feels amazing. I'm glad that they've become my second family, I wouldn't have it any other way. 💜
I'm 71 yrs. old from the Phils. BTS is the vitamin & supplement That I have to see & hear everyday in any form of media. They are my happiness & I love them so much no matter what. They really heal & lighten issues & matters that bothers me in my life. Great example also to the youth of today. I listen to all their music & never tire watching their concerts, run bts, etc.
65 and Army for 5yrs, to you and all the Armys borahae💜
BORAHAE!!!
55 years old and found BTS in 2020…… dragged my skeptical husband to see BTS live in Los Angeles, Permission to Dance concert - he enjoyed it so much, he is Army now too at 59 years old ….. we went to PTD in Vegas as well and then to see Suga in Chicago for the D-Day tour ….. those concerts were some of the best times of my life.
Oh wow! You really have seen alot! And good for your husband to dive in also! I love to see it!💜💜💜💜
45-year old American man. I was listening to Kpop in the 1990s before it was even a thing and expanded out to other forms of modern artistic genres. And after so long of just not paying attention to the Kpop scene, this week I finally went to check out my first BTS song and surprisingly discovered Jimin's debut album songs only to be so blown away by his genius. He now motivated me to go back to check out as much BTS as I'm able. 🎉💜 Absolutely love these guys now.
ayyy lets go! We have a OG in the house! Thank you so much for checking out my video. I actually just reacted to Set me free and dude... I was shook! hahah Im really interested in Kpop and its beginings also I cant wait to explore Korean culture!
57 BTS found me during the beginning of the pandemic with Life Goes On. As with most everyone, I had lost everything that was normal to me. Then I heard this angelic voice on a Samsung commercial. I had to know who belonged to that voice. Jimin, my bias. As with the majority of us, each member snatches you heart at some point or another. I love all 7 of them. Thank you for joining all of us in this journey. Can't wait to see where we go next 💜
This journey really has just begun hasn't it! So glad you are here with us! Thank you for being you! 💜💜💜💜
Hello hello. I'm a guy who enjoys BTS too! haha. I'm just over 30 and I've been an ARMY since 2014.
LETS GO BROOOOO! Great to have and OG here! Thank you so much for watching!
56yrs, I'm ARMY since 2017 💜
57 years old BTS ARMY. I found them in 2020 during the pandemic. They helped me and changed me in so many ways. My husband is also ARMY He's 58. And my daughter is an Agust D fan. She's 32
33 year old Army from Ohio here. Been a fan for 8 years now
I am 54. I’ve known their music for the last 5 years, as my daughter was a huge fan in her teens. It’s just been in the last 18 months I’ve become ARMY myself. The newer music pulled me in, but learning about them and going through their catalog has been the most amazing journey. I’ve made friends from different places in the world, actually meeting up with one and hanging out on my last trip to Disneyland. My Bestie has become ARMY as well, and we flew 5 hours to LA to see Yoongi, stayed overnight, then flew home. It was the most amazing experience. Like one huge family. 💜
It really is a big family. I can't wait to get out and travel and see everyone personally at my first show. You KNOW ima vlog that sheet! Haha
I feel so at home responding to everyone's comments and being here making videos. I'm not judged, and I'm free to be myself. I'm so lucky to be here with you guys and BTS. 💜💜💜💜
51 and been ARMY for 6 yrs now.absolutely love those men and their messages and stances
When you go to a BTS concert, you see all of the love and support from Armys to Armys. Its a beautiful sight and feeling
I’m a 61 year old woman. My introduction to BTS was JK in Qatar, I wanted to see who he was and fell in love with the group he belongs to. My admiration for them and for the Army
I'm a male and currently 31, will be 32 in a few months forward.. I was listening to BTS casually for a year just because they have a great bop song, but I started deep diving into BTS from 2018.. so, maybe 5-6 years now with BTS? 😅💜
LETS GOOOOOO BRO! HAHA⭐️
We are close in age I'm 34. In this for two months already! I'm so excited to see where this rabbit hole takes me. I bet it has been quite the journey for you as well. Glad to have my doods with me! 💜⭐️💜
Im in the 50+ column. One of the things that I have loved is I have always been very open to new great music, but I found BTS through RMs SEOUL..... then I bought his album INDIGO and was blown away. The excitement has been addictive..... to find music so great and that felt so fresh, with a creative eclecticism that has me completely hooked. I became like a truffle hound just searching out more and more and more. Each new gem building the addiction. The great thing is also after you find BTS you can share them with your grandchildren.
Im 23 years old and i found BTS in one of the hardest times of my entire life.
I found them in very early of 2017, around the time when my dog, my grandpa and my grandma passed away and i had to move out of my family home multible hours away from my family when i was just 17.
Im so thankful for BTS because they helped me through that time and showed me how to heal in a healthy way.💜
74 y.o. -Became a fan in early 2020. Saw XCeleste’s Intro to BTS early on. I love to watch new fans discover BTS and join them in their journeys.
I'm so glad you are here with me today! 🙇
I'm so honored to have you enjoying these videos with me and I'm very happy to chat! 💜💜💜 all because of these boys we can connect where it may have never been possible.
Oh how fun life is 💜⭐️💜
44 year old ARMY. Been listening to BTS casually for several years but became ARMY in 2022. My 76 year old mother and 7 year old son are also ARMY 😊
Greetings! 75 years old woman on August 20, 2023! I discovered BTS in 2017 while searching for dance videos because I was missing my dead parents who were WONDERFUL dancers. Thanks Mama and Dad for gracing my life with BTS! I watch BTS videos and reaction videos every day and they and Army have gifted me with joy always. Due to an operation for malignant cancer, I have extreme chronic edema in my left leg and experience pain 24/7. But with BTS and Army and my extraordinary Swedish husband (we live in Sweden), I wake up happy every morning, laugh frequently every day and thoroughly enjoy my life. I purple you Armys across the world. You bless my life! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🙏 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
i am almost 40 years old woman, and i have been army for about 3 years now😊 and i could not have been happier. BTS is the best thing that has happen to me
Im 41 and super proud ARMY💪💜💜
34 year old Army, for 3 years now 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Turning 60 this year; been ARMY since Butter came out. Who knew I'd be a die hard rapline fan?
That's awesome!! Could you see yourself going to an underground show if they ever decided to do one? Haha that would be sick!
@@MasterGo89 In a hot second!
Ok! That's what I like to hear! You have a buddy then to come along! I would LOVE to see some underground rap!
SAME, BTS got me to love hip hop. I don't care for a lot of American Hip Hop. But I love Korean Hip Hop Specifically BTS Rap Line.
Hola👋🏼I became an ARMY in 2016. My then 13yr old daughter wanted to learn Korean and came across BTS. I needed to know what she was listening to and in the process of reaching who they were I became a fan. I’m a young 57 year old because the rap line keeps me bopping 💜
I LOVE that! 57 is the new 23 anyways haha! Let's keep the party going! 💜🎊💜🎊💜⭐️
47 stumbled upon them last year. Never to look back. 💜💜💜
YOU ARE A VERY POSITIVE PERSON. I AM IN SINCE 2017. I AM ARMY FROM RUSSIA I AM 50 YEARS OLD.
💜
THANK YOU SO MUCH 😄😄😄
It's really hard to be positive sometimes but with good people and good role models like the boys! It becomes easier each passing day! Thank you so much for joining me here today and enjoying my video 💜💜💜
55yrs and have been listening since 2017…. So began around 48!!!
I was introduced by my teenager! BTS saved her and I began to dive into how&who could make
Such an impact on her life ; especially in a foreign language, and I fell in LoVe! I’ve been blessed to have gotten to go to 5 concerts and am currently saving for 2025/26 Tour!!!!
BORAHAE ArmyFam! StayGold!💜🤩
I'm 23 years old. 👋I've found Bangtan in 2018 and been ARMY since then - never been happier before! Love the community and the vibes 💜
I agree! There is so much positive energy in this community and while I sit here and try to chat with everyone, I just... man my heart becomes so full

Tengo 39 años y conocí a BTS hace 2 años, los amo demasiado y me han enseñado tanto, así como Army se convirtió en mis mejores amigas, saludos desde Costa Rica 🇨🇷💜💜💜💜
Just last month had my 60th birthday and have been a fan of BTS for about 8years now. I love their music and message as I'm a lover of many different genres of music. I have always been involved in making music as a musician and vocalist since I was 14years old and I'm in the UK.
52 years young. Been Army since late Dec.' 22. Absolutely adore BTS. Really enjoying watching your journey .
Awww thank you so much! It's a honor having you on this trip with me! Let's see how far we can go 💜💜💜💜
I am 42 years old, and I Have been ARMY since 2019.😊💜
💜💜💜💜 and many more story's and years to come! BORAHAE!💜💜💜💜
i discovered bts when i was 22, i'm 25 now :) back then i was just graduating w my masters and entering "actual adulthood", getting my first serious job, etc. it was a lot of adjustment and anxiety, but it was less scary knowing i have bts as an example to follow
Yessss! I LOVE this! 💜💜💜 getting through the trials of life with amazing role models
Listening since 2018. I'm a 68 year old Psychotherapist led to BTS by my younger clients. Many of them reported to me that BTS saved their lives! I had to check that out!
I'm 38, I knew/heard of BTS for some time but I'm an ARMY for a year now. I love you Army's. This comment section is gorgeous and inspiring. I wish I could give you all a big hug! 💜💜💜💜
SAME! BIG HUGS FOR EVERYONE! FOR OUR FAMILY! 💜 **HUGS**
🤗🤗🤗🤗 Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I’m in my 50’s and ARMY since ON era 2020. I was blown away by their performance at Grand Central on Jimmy Fallon. Love to see you learn and grow to love BTS. I love xCeleste videos too. I agree, BTS is so much more than a pop group. The more you know the more you see they are changing the world for the better. Thank you for your reactions. I really enjoy watching you learn about BTS. Borahae and apobangpo! 💜
52. I have been army since 2015. BTS came into my life when I needed them.
Thats fantastic! We all needed them and thats what bonds us all together as army!
I'm 39yrs old. I've been an ARMY since 2016💜
I am 18 years old and have been an Army since 2017. Love your reactions and remember: you nice keep going 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
That's so cool! You have been growing up with such amazing role models!
Thank you so very much for watching and enjoying my videos! BORAHAE! 💜💜
I’m 18 but I listen to bts since 2017! I love their message and got so many friends throughout the years. I would never change that. I was bullied for liking them and had bad times because of my father but they were always there for me… i can’t describe how thankful I am to them and for them in any words…
Hi. German ARMY here. Turned 56 on August 3rd. My now 19 yr old daughter showed me BTS first time in August 2018… but honestly I wasn’t really interested. She continued to show me BTS content. Then one moment caught my attention and for myself I say I became ARMY Jan 2019. Lucky enough I was able to attend their concert at Wembley Stadium on 1st June 2019 together with my daughter. These 7 young men bring me so much hope, love and happiness and I’m so thankful that they’ve found me. Next year my daughter and I want to travel to Korea. And I know that I’m in this Bangtan Sonyeondan shit for the rest of my life! Borahae 💜
Hahah I LOVE THIS! **AND HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!**
💜🎊💜🎊💜🎊💜🎊🎊💜
36 years old army from Indonesia. Im with BTS since 2016 and i love them more and more.
Ayyyy we are close in age! 34! 💜 love our Indonesian family!
2016! That's a LONG TIME! What got you into them?
Hi! I am 63 and have been army for about a year and a half. I have long Covid and spent most of the last year unable to work. BTS got me through some rough, painful days. Thankfully I am much better! They were in my peripheral hearing of songs and news, but never checked them out. Isolation can bring on sadness and I knew I needed to make choices to become happy. I remember seeing JHopes smile and did my search. That was it! Our sunshine and the 6 other brothers made me laugh and smile! I began seriously BINGE watching everything! X Celeste and Taylor’s documentaries; MV’s, dance practices, interviews and then discovered amazing reactors - including YOU! I love how caring and sincere each member is and they have a very special synergy. I wish there were more Army members my age where I live in Maine. Borahae to all of you and many more interactions watching your reactions for years to come. 💜😊👍🏽👏🏽🎼🫶🏽
42yrs...ARMY since 2019
I'm 46, from Malaysia. I enjoy your reaction videos. I'm somewhat "new" compared to many ARMYs. And "Thank You!" for featuring xCeleste again. She's really awesome.
Welcome to my journey!💜 so glad to have you here!
I really enjoy her videos. I think I would fanboy like crazy ever talking with her. I'm sure I could learn a ton!
And I'm 2 months old into this.We can fall together down this rabbit hole 💜💜💜
@@MasterGo89I'd probably be speechless if I ever get to meet xCeleste in person.
Life Goes On is my favorite BTS song. 💜
I have yet to listen to that one! I will soon though! 💜💜💜
I’m 60 years old and have been army for 3 years 💜💜🇲🇽🇲🇽💜💜
I'm part of the 4% 50 and up, up, up. dove into BTS and Kpop in 2019 when my mood was very low. I feel a bit better after listening to BTS each time. They let me sink into the positive even when they are dealing with difficult subjects.
I've been in the Army since 2019, I'm 56 years old, I live in Brazil and I love the boys for the message, humility and affection they have with their fans. they are very important to me as they taught me to love myself and value myself.
I'll be 29 in September, and I've been ARMY since 2018. My 3 kids are all ARMY as well, my youngest was a baby when I became a fan, so she's literally grown up with BTS. Like many others, BTS found me, and helped me when I was at such a bad place mentally. I owe them so much
Thats fantastic! A true BTS family! I love to see it ...awwww Im so happy for you!
I discovered BTS in 2016. I was 49 and I’m now 56. I have always had a great appreciation of music (thanks to an aunt who introduced me to classic jazz artists, Hendrix, Stones, Janis Joplin, and a wide range of other music when I was 8-9 years old when she bought me my first adult album, In Through The Out Door by Led Zepplin.)) and I’m always searching for new and interesting artists, typically foreign. (I like Russian alternative and French pop.). Anyway, I found myself watching BTS’ dance practice for fire and I was IMMEDIATELY hooked. I couldn’t get enough. I think I drove my husband and my mother insane. And all my friends. Fuck’em. I don’t care. I absolutely love the journey because it energizes me. I left a 25 year career in law to open an online clothing boutique and I literally lived and breathed BTS. My contemporaries are still listening to the same shit they listened to back in the 80’s and 90’s. I’ve always appreciated current music and I’m always searching for good music and entertainment. I’ve always trended towards like alternative, but I like a little of everything. I was a Beatles fan, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Marilyn Manson, EVERYTHING! I’ve seen all the greats in concert and have been a huge fan of them at the height of their careers. But NEVER in my 49 year endeavor into all kinds of music have I ever come across anyone like BTS. It’s a universe. A way of life. They honestly gave me the courage to sink all my savings into the my boutique and their words got me through some tough times and kept me pushing through a lot of struggles when I wanted to throw up my hands and give up. Suga said something that gets me back on my feet every time. Now I own four boutiques and BTS (and reaction videos when I can find time to sit down for a few minutes) is always playing. I listen to other stuff of course, but BTS is always on every playlist I have. Even my bluegrass playlist, lol! And if you plan to go Roma concert, just know it’s a process and you need to do a few things like join the ARMY to get access to buy the tickets as an official fan or you’ll end upmoaying thousands of dollars for nosebleed seats IF you can get them at all. And try for barricade sound check. It’s around $900 per ticket, but it’s worth it. That’s the one I got. I checked online and there was a ticket in the 23 row left if center stage selling for $25,000. Mine was priceless! I probably could have sold it for $50k, but the thought never crossed my mind. I was going and that was that. I’ll go again if they tour the states again. They go hard for over two hours.
Australian, female, 58, ARMY for 3.5 years 💜
38 years old from central Europe here! ARMY for over 4 years. What brought me in was the lyrics, what kept me in was incredible feeling of belonging. I also like xCeleste videos, i think other good creator is Sugarmy with their videos, you should check them too.
I shall thank you!
That feeling of belonging somewhere is honestly so amazing. I feel like I have a massive family here!
I am 27. Been an ARMY since 2018 or 2019 can't remember but it feels like I have been a fan since forever. 💜
A bit late to the party but here I go.
I'm 26 yo female from Poland (European armies are often overlooked, the focus being more on Asia and North America but we are numerous! 💜).
I've heard about "pop boyband" BTS and about "toxic, screaming on the internet, teenage fangirls ARMY" (🙄) when I was still in high school and about k-pop probably already in middle school but because they were so poorly represented in media, on the internet and there was (and still is!) a lot of prejudice I've never researched them nor listened to their music. I've came across them again in 2020, at the begining of the pandemic, while looking for cool songs and choreographies for my work-outs. They've got me hooked up really quickly and I've become an ARMY at the end of 2020 (right before "Dynamite" and "BE" dropped so I'm an ARMY of between "MOTS7" and "Dynamite"). ☺
Now I deeply regret not checking them out sooner, but hey! They say BTS finds you when you need them most! 😉 I've noticed that my mental health has been constanlty dropping for many years now (since childhood actually) and I am now at a very dark place in life. But I feel like BTS (and ARMY) is often the only thing that still keeps me sane and craving for the change. They are so inspirational, positive, hard-working and beautiful human beings! Pandemic didn't had a big impact on me because I was so engaged in diving into BTS' content that it kinda came and went before I even noticed lol. But my mental health is still dropping and BTS seems often like a lifeline, the lifebelt of mine... When the day and the life, and myself suck so bad I turn to them and I am able to smile again - it's something that sometimes even my closest loved ones cannot achieve. The bond that BTS creates with ARMY is really special, magical. There is THIS THING - we can never really describe *what* it is but we can all feel *it*. Love, fate, respect, friendship, partnership... It's all this but also so much more. I really, really love them and respect them from the bottom of my heart and I will be an ARMY forever. When you get here, you stay here, for a lifetime. And they wish to stay with us. APOBANGPO. 💜
I hope that BTS will keep me sane and motivate me until I can finally change myself and my life and go forward. I'll be forever grateful to them. I feel like I can only achieve that with their and ARMY's support. I'm having fun watching your videos MG, you nice keep going. Borahae to all who'll read this comment! 💜
Tengo 48 años, siendo ARMY 6 años y medio. Nunca había parte de un fandom, realmente me gustaban algunos cantantes o grupos y ya, tenía un cantante favorito por alrededor de 30 años, pero BTS cambió mi visión de muchas cosas.
Life goes on es el sencillo principal de su álbum BE. Para este álbum los chicos no solo participaron en escritura y composición, sino que encabezaron los trabajos en las diferentes áreas que se involucran en un lanzamiento: producción musical, dirección del proyecto, diseño, vestuario, imagen, etc. En este álbum reflejaron los sentimientos y estados de ánimo que vivieron y en general todos vivimos por la pandemia y el confinamiento en casa.
56years old. I've been an ARMY for 6 years now. I've been regularly participating in charity projects, translating BTS' content for fan bases when they need help, voting, daily requesting BTS' songs to radios, streaming all day while working..... you know, I've been very busy "ARMYING" these past years 😅
Look at you go!!! Hey you know atleast it keeps you out of trouble hey?! Hahaha that's awesome though! I aspire to be like you some day!😄⭐️💜
@@MasterGo89 you r so right! However, it's more than that. kThese 7 angels keep me close to my (now) 18 yo daughter and they keep me mentally healthy..... lost my job since the pandemic, also my father with dementia died in 2020, and I lost my mom 3 months ago. Being a single mom for the last 15 years, my children, BTS and my ARMY family kept me going through tough times! 💜💜💜💜
You are so strong! Life really is a challange. But my God, the ways we can cope and deal with these traumatic experiences is something just as strong! 💜💜💜💜
@@MasterGo89 You Never Walk Alone 💜💜💜💜💜
I m 45-year-old and have been ARMY since 2019.
56. i have been a ARMY since 2017 thank you for the awesome reaction 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Oh you have seen some amazing times on your BTS journey! That's fantastic!!!
And thank you for your awesome comment and for enjoying the video!💜💜💜💜
I am going to be 35 yo this year and started being a BTS fan in 2015, so that makes me 27 then..that means, even at th3 start, I was not a screaming teenage girl. BTS is the only group I stan but I also listen to other artists, and I mean any artist I come across. I like particular songs of these other artists, but I did not really became attached to them like I am with BTS. They (BTS) just have the qualities as a music act, and as people that I resonate with.💜
Im 65, ARMY for 2 years, Australia. im always trying to get my family to love these boys as much as i do. Im getting there slowly!
Haha that's great! Really spreading the BTS love! 💜💜💜
Hi Yall! I will be 60 years old in August. I became an army in 2020 or 2021. I caught covid and stuck in bed. First video i watched was On. Like you learning the deeper meaning. That led to more videos. I was/am so proud of these young men. Each time they appeared at the UN i cried. Could not be prouder if they were my own children.
I'm from Texas living in Arizona.
I am 40 years old .i am been part of arme for 4 years.All these 4 years have been the best days of my life and will be in the future and I am really proud to be a part of this fandom.
I am a 53 years old lady proud Army from Türkiye
am 49 and come from Germany. I am ARMY since 2013 💜
I believe the number of male armies have increase significantly the past year, at the PTD and Yoongi’s Dday concerts I saw a number of male armies. We even exchange gift. I’m 32 btw 😆
That's fantastic! I definitely see them and feel there energy here in my community! I can't wait to meet you guys some day!!! 💜💜💜💜
53yo female. ARMY since 2014! Borahae from California everybody!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😊❤️I can tell you BTS helps me with crippling depression every day. I feel much better these days and I know I am not the only one. Thanks Master Go for creating content. You help people smile as well ❤
I want you to know that it fills my heart knowing that I can make a difference in your life with these videos! I think we all have these hard times in our lives, but knowing that you are not alone and you have us and the boys... ah man I hope you know that we are all here for each other! I can't wait to help you smile with the next BTS video 💜🎊💜🎊💜🎊
Looking forward to watching your journey. Thank you for your hard work. I know editing takes a lot of time but you’re killing it!!!❤️😎
Thank you! It's a labor of love :) just to be able to talk with you all makes it all worth it ^_^ 💜💜💜
