K-pop lovefest for BTS fans before Rose Bowl concert

[@alexanderpascual1911]

Army mom's are sooooo supportive!😍

[@EM-rm2xh]

THANK YOU for showing the diversity of the fandom!! You are one of the few that haven't portrayed them as a "teen craze." And thank you for highlighting why the band is popular---their music and message.

[@victoriacrudup3477]

I agree. I really get so annoying.

[@EM-rm2xh]

@hana hami I'm in my 30s too! As a grown woman (even in my 20s), you know how many times I get mistaken for being underage? It's frustrating. I'm a grown adult! What gets me is that when they cover sporting events or concerts like Eminem or Drake, no one ever talks about the age of the fans.

[@greatleadernamjoon9656]

I'm 33 and I love BTS

[@EM-rm2xh]

​@hana hami Same. The bands I grew up with were The Who, Genesis, Linkin Park, and Foo Fighters along with strong preferences for late 1800s classical with a little bit of 90s hiphop/rap in my college years. What's funny is that in some of these news stories, the fans are talking about how they love the music/lyrics/etc. and then the reporters go "omg they think they're all cute boys........teens these days....." Meanwhile, in the background, a diverse range of people are walking around. **sigh**

[@tildatiger]

Turning 40 in two months and no one questioned me about it when I went to see Eminem last year. No "oh, are you taking your kid?" comments. Same thing when I saw Twenty One Pilots in February, even though I did actually have my teenager with me both times. But say K-pop, and you have to submit an essay on what about BTS appeals to a mature audience 🙄 Likewise, no one says "but you don't even understand the language" when I go to the opera, which is usually in German or Italian 🤓

LOL@1:02 'ok mom. You're a mother forget it' but I absolutely agree with her. Good-hearted young men making a difference in the world. She is so damn right💜👌

[@KimTran-lg1pi]

She should let her mom speak! I love the supportive, die hard mom fan!! Lol

[@mitchieirao-private5128]

*To summarize it all: Armys did not stan BTS just because of their pretty faces but because they are TALENTED and they have the PUREST HEART a person could ever ask for!! Fight me!!!* 😭💜

[@tildatiger]

True, the answers were very different from what you normally hear outside boyband concerts! We have enough 1D concert and documentary DVDs in our home to prove it...

[@anakirola9204]

I didn’t go due to financial hardships; however, BTS represents the soul of all of us as they are honest and genuine. I love that they are like brothers and so in touch with their fans. I watched them grow from there debut to now. I’m like a proud Mom to her Sons😄

[@BeLovelyOK]

Sorry to hear that... Just so you know for in the future, there are ticket giveaways through Radio Stations, KZbinrs, & Social Media... Also, I knew several ARMYs just in my group of friends that upgraded their seats or someone couldn’t go in their group & gave away their first/extra tickets...ARMY just doesn’t want any BTS ticket to go to waste... So, hopefully you can go another time & if still in hardship, maybe you’ll find one of these lovely ARMYs in your BTS Journey... 💜

[@estrellasorokina-mobbs265]

I love BTS especially Jin worldwide handsome

[@songroid4847]

The BTS debuted in 2013 and was initially called "Boy Band for Children" in Korea. However, since 2015, their activities and meaningful songs and MVs have caused fans of various ages from 20 to 60 years old. And in my view, for the first time in human history, they have secured fans across the world for races and religions. It would not have been possible if they had only a sales perspective. --- It's reply for some people.

[@songroid4847]

@@borapobangpo // In the beginning, the BTS was called "초통령" It's Korean, it's a popular band for elementary school students. It also contained some blame.

[@youngforever1445]

@@borapobangpo You're right. Someone else is wrong. And anyone who is an Army would never call the boys The BTS

[@veronicagutierrez2126]

Bts paved the way.

ARMY moms and dads are the best.

[@jeonjungoo7]

We love supportive moms😆💜😍

Hats off to everyone involved in creating this video! This short vid defines BTS and shows the diversity of ARMY.

[@greatleadernamjoon9656]

The mom is so cute and supportive.

[@NinaNina-zi6xs]

I specifically went to see all the boys and i hope all armys love all of them ❤

[@tildatiger]

What, you can't love them all AND have a bias? 😉

[@em5522]

All these ARMYs are just the best~ I p♡rple all of them! ☆♡☆ I hope they had an amazing night!

[@gracewhitten9076]

ARMY let’s thank ARMY mom and dads are who support their children and take their kids to these concerts

[@user-yp9jt5ek5d]

I am an army mom and I love BTS!!!

[@rvermillion8188]

I loves when media also interviewing older fans & male fans too. It give a small insight to the fandom that Army are not typically teenage madness.

[@subaccount7212]

You can see how genuine these fans are to BTS and they really know who’s their following

[@CarlosAlvarez-hn7gl]

My sister and my mom went and they saw them walking leaving the stadium

Thank you for engaging with fans & asking the REAL questions!! Like they said, ARMYS are diverse & united so thank you so much for the chance to share our thoughts!! 💜💜💜

[@tildatiger]

As a Namjoon stan, I wanted to tag myself at 0:55 But then the ARMY mom came in at 1:05 and I was like... Yeah... That would be me.

Love the video LA Times, the BTS Concert at the Rose Bowl for May 5 was amazing. #ARMY #BTS #RAPMONSTER

"Whose your fave Kpop Band " *BTS* Duh! What do you expect they will answer at a BTS Concert 😄

[@fergie1014]

Ask a Namjoon Stan a question and you'll be lucky if you can make it home before dark. Them people be intellectuals I'm telling you. This is why my dumbass sticks to being an OT7

[@LoveTglee]

Maybe I am just emotionally stunted but people always say that they will cry or scream when they see BTS. I will be like 200% happy but cry...? I will be happy in silence maybe an occasional wave 😂😂😂

[@duyendo4358]

Maybe they are extrovert ones, and you are introvert 😂😂

Looking for LA BTS Fans for a Trivia video! Filming 5/29 in Koreatown. Paid!!

[@febbysapulete]

After bashing and degrading about BTS, now you make news video about them?

[@MsRuth31]

Ur opinion wouldnt matter really but thank u for watching this vid. God bless u 😊

[@snisa92]

Yo. Try watch RM joke video. He used to be Rap Monster and changed it to RM. He does freaking talented and master of wordplay of rapper. Check out his lyrics. Yes, check out the lyrics video. He is known for writing 90% lyrics of BTS songs n he is the one that make the lyrics look like poetry.

[@LuisSanchez-bw9uu]

BTSxRMDimples so have you ever heard Eminem or Kendrick Lamar maybe Joyner lucas idk but they are real rappers and should be considered rap gods maybe not gods but they are what makes rap talk about real world problems listen to Joyner Lucas’s new song

[@snisa92]

@@LuisSanchez-bw9uu of course we have heard those rappers while and before stanning BTS. We never downplay eminem n kendrick lamar. We just said BTS rappers are really talented as well. While you straight away look down on them as if you never check out their own rap songs. If you check out their rap songs, you would never downplay their talents and may even accept how that girl in video think RM is rap god because thats her own preference about favourite rapper. Even my own favourite rapper in BTS is suga not RM, but i do still accept what girl said about RM because i know RM is freaking talented rapper. Check out lyric videos here on youtube for BTS outro:tear, ddaeng, cypher part 3 and see n judge by yourself.
