Her description about BTS is smart & on point. As if she could voicing out my opinion as well. Really appreciate it, Nicole. And I definitely will waiting BTS to comeback as a whole group at 2025, coz they're worth to wait. BTS is BTS, period. No other group can replace BTS, they're irreplaceable.

56 year old ARMY from California, USA. I love Nicole, she did beautifully representing for BTS and ARMY. Nicole was very well spoken, respectful, and informative. She is right about BTS ARMY, we will be waiting for them to get out of the military and I will be preparing for the next Comeback and Tour. I will continue to support them, even when they are in the military. We are so proud of them, and hope they stay healthy and happy. Thank you for your awesome news report 💜

[@LokisJin07]

Thank you for the more detailed story of BTS. Having an actual Army giving or telling a small amount of the BTS and Army journey enlightens people who do not know how special these Seven Boys from South Korea are. BTS not only gives us beautiful music and live commentaries of who they are but their experiences in their journey to where they are today. I’ve been an Army since they were in LA to learn pop culture so many years. I’m sincerely proud of them and their accomplishments they are very giving and humble human beings. They give to many charities and have helped many Army and fans through their struggles. Thank you again

[@Bonnie90505]

64 yr old Grandma ARMY from California, I am so happy to say I am a member of ARMY and BTS is not just a KPop boy group, it goes deeper than that, they are what the world needs, furthermore, they have reach a wide variety of people, they send a message to all, and I don't think of them as South Korean men, they are universal to me, in any language. I jumped into the world of BTS Jan 2022 and continue to learn and watch the many thousands of videos, interviews, game show,.To me, they are the best entertainers, even better than the Beatles, and that says a lot.!! 2025 we will wait.

[@sucomp]

Thank you for having Nicole to explain exactly what BTS is all about and who they are, who ARMY is and why BTS means so much to music right now. ARMY is happy to spread the word about BTS and why they are so popular and why ARMY is so emotional but supportive of these 7 fine men from S. Korea.

[@lealarsen2017]

omg how can she just wrap up everything about BTS and Army in a few sentence. i mean i as a fan have been trying so hard to explain how bts is different from all other bands out there, and how come we love them so much. but i never could and she just said everything perfectly.

[@lnh14]

Amazing interview! She effectively and succinctly summarized all the essential information needed to understand who BTS and ARMY are and why we're different. They truly have a way of transcending borders and reaching people you'd least expect. I'm 35 and was introduced to BTS by my 63 year old mother who discovered them from a Good Morning America interview in 2018. It look me longer but the moment I started diving into their discography I was hooked. While their music is very enjoyable as is, they put so much of themselves and their stories into the music, that the more you learn about them as people, the more rewarding their music and performances are. It's a feedback cycle that keeps you hooked! They are worth the investment of time and devotion. So yes, ARMY will be here for everything they've planned during their enlistment and we most certainly will be here when they reunite in 2025!

[@7toheavan4ever54]

I'm 47 year old Army from Tyrol/ Austria. BTS changed my life 💜 They taught me to love myself and gave me this beautiful worldwide ARMY Family.

What a great interview!!! 40 year old ARMY here and I’ve been on this journey with BTS for 5 years and am here to stay. Their music moves me like no others. 🥺 I’m so proud of BTS and our purple community! 💜 Also, Nicole is absolutely right that our fanbase grew during the pandemic and it’ll only grow more with time even after they enlist.

[@abeeetnom2129]

The thing about BTS is that they were able to penetrate the age group that tends to stay loyal. Yes I am talking about the mid 20s, 30, 40, and beyond. That is why there are still artists who would still perform even if they are seniors already coz the fans stayed loyal.

This was such a good interview. This ARMY did a great job explaining the magic of BTS and their cultural influence. She also did an awesome job describing ARMY as a diverse and worldwide fan base. Kudos to the reporter who for not being snide or condescending when asking questions about BTS and ARMY. As a 50-year-old, Black American, English-only speaking woman who was stuck in a 90s/00s music bubble, I am a huge fan of BTS and have become a fan of kpop in general because of them. BTS had helped expand my world and helped me become a better version of myself. 💜💜 In this ARMY for life.

[@camille9219]

I read your comment and just had to respond. I am a 60 year old black women and I love BTS too! I joined the fandom last year (my daughter introduced me to BTS’ music). At first I was embarrassed- thought I shouldn’t/couldn’t be a fan - thought I was too old, wrong color, etc. but luckily I overcame that thinking and dove headfirst into becoming ARMY. I am incredibly sad they will be away but will wait for them (am currently learning Korean so I can hopefully understand what they say when they return 😊)

[@lieaorganasolo]

Love seeing my sisters represent! Black 36 year old woman ARMY right here

[@milissadaniels2727]

As a Professional ARMY it is the positive messages and quality of their music and performance. They are amazing individuals that any parent would love their children to emulate and have as role models. A lot of music lyrics today are so crass and trashy you just have to have how low will people go. Positivity definitely pays and unfortunately you have so many people that don't recognize that.

[@lilyjoeliani6558]

Nope, we are not going anywhere, waiting for our boys to re-group on 2025. We have so many contents from them, with the solo projects and what not, so it won't be a hiatus.

[@rosedto3806]

57 yr old ARMY from Canada. I discovered BTS in 2017 and have been an avid supporter ever since. I support based on the quality of the human behind the artist and these 7 young men deserve all the support they receive because they are really good people first and foremost. They are consistently authentic, genuine and philanthropists and their lyrics speak to empowering one's genuine self. This cannot be said for a majority of US "musical artists" who focus on their ego and a quick buck. So when one speaks about or compares musical artists, you should ask yourself what messaging is truly valuable to yourself and to society? Is it the music lyrics that demean women and girls and promote violence? OR Is it music lyrics (created by BTS) that promotes community, self-love, empowering your genuine self? I know what I choose.

[@tanasmom1969]

Nicole did a great job of describing BTS and ARMY. I'm 53 and have been ARMY since 2016. I'll definitely be here still in 2025. I definitely found BTS when I needed them.

ARMY WILL WALK WITH BTS IN EVERY JOURNEY THEY TAKE ON. And BTS and ARMY relationship is so strong that for sure will last for a life time.

[@normaleticia1099]

On point, Nicole! 💜Your thought process! BTS are WORLDWIDE superstars, artists, phenomena, leaders, and influencers. They have spoken at the UN, the White House, world ambassadors for Korea, literally the face of South Korea, the backbone of their tourism and economy right now. There is no other K-pop artist or group that even comes close. They belong to the world, not just South Korea, actually they are too big for the world!

Nicole is very articulate and the way she structured her wording & insightful content are amazing too. I am so happy seeing how she represents army and how influence BTS are actually is. BTS is BTS. Their name goes above Kpop label, they themselves are a walking diplomat of SK. It would be blind not too see the soft power that they have. Also, armies have grown organically and very much diverse; we appreciate not just their good honest music, meaningful and inspiring messages but also their imperfections and raw side of the 7 members. We are very supportive of them. Nicole, you have done a good job. I am so proud of you.

Fast forward to today, I love them so much and they have brought myself, my 3 year old son and 11 year old daughter so much happiness. We lost both my husband and my mom within the past year (both unexpected deaths 😢) and when I felt like there was no meaning left to life, BTS came to my life and revived me.

What's also contributed to the fanbase is that BTS engages ARMY. They share almost all their moments with their fans before, during and after events via vlive, as if to include fans in their every day, on their journey. Very sweet. There will never be another BTS. Only 1 Michael Jackson. Only 1 Beatles. Only 1 Elvis.

[@bellacandilada4145]

Firstly, BTS is not on hiatus. We are being fed almost every week/month with new music from each of them. Jhope had his solo album and other members will follow to release each solo albums as the 7 members will take turn going to the military in the next 2 years. They are just taking a break on releasing music and touring as a group. They prepared a lot of contents be it in music or variety shows for us and more coming that would sustain us for 2 years untill they come back again as a whole group.
