When BTS is saying ARMY is their biggest voice, but in fact BTS is our biggest voice 💜💜💜💜

[@binushrestha4634]

I can feel it. BTS has always been that voice for me who keep saying me that they believe in me even if no one is there to do so. And that what matters. Before I used to hesitate to say no and yes for thing I feel but after I meet them I have got a kinda confidence that I can say so if I feel it cause there is a voice that says I belive in you and that's BTS.

I'm so glad you talked about the fact that not all ARMYs are teenage girls. It may seem controversial because I am in fact a teenage girl myself, but I know there are many ARMYs out there who are older. I sometimes feel uncomfortable telling people I like BTS because most people immediately assume all of ARMY is just teenage girls who like BTS because they look handsome. It's something that makes me angry at times because while the first thing that catches the eye may be their looks as well, it's not nearly enough for you to become a fan. ARMYs don't love BTS because they're handsome. ARMYs love BTS because they're talented, they spread positive messages through their music, their personalities are genuine, and they're just amazing people. If they're handsome or not does not make a difference. Honestly I'd stan BTS even if they looked like a bunch of potato sacks.

I always say the same: I feel young inside just like I felt when I was 15 only with a mature mind of course, what betrays us is our bodies that don't look and feel young anymore. Our age doesn't prevent our soul of feeling the goodness of life and BTS is one of the goodness we have in life.

There will be those people who criticise for no reason at all, and will always surface around us because we are at the top and super influencial.. whenever you see those people from now on, and look at them and smile because you'll be reminded of this reply i'm writing... which tells you to think that them existing around us like this just *further proves how great we are* ... understand? The world is too big and clueless, and I'm not the type to sugar-coat words and say that 'we can change it'... instead, we can just change the way we look at it. For our own good. Stay safe, and remember what you read here.. *it took me a good 5 minutes to write this* -

Bashers will be bashers, Haters will be haters. But Army will remain Army , always ready to defend BTS no matter what. The haters & antis are the insecure groups who don't have the charisma, purity, creative genius , & positivity that BTS have. I just feel sorry for the haters, bashers, antis coz they sulk with such negativity & toxicity probably because they are in a wrong fandom. Whereas with BTS & Army, we are so happy & contented that we don't have time nor the appetite to go for prejudice nor hatred.

id also like to point out that while we have the power to sell out anything bts touches, we’re also very smart consumers that realize our dollars are essentially our votes. we purposely ignore (or boycott) projects that are disrespectful to bts (often due to racism or xenophobia), & still expect quality products. bts’ management, bighit, also do heavy research & choose to work with companies that share similar missions or backstories as bts

[@binushrestha4634]

Yes thanks for pointing out that. There are times when brand says "just bring me bts and I will pay you with as much money as you want". There have been so many offers to BTS from various luxurious brand companies but BTS decides very carefully with a lot of effort to see if the brand's philosophy really matches with BTS or not.

Hey, my middle name is Mercy and I’ve been a fan of BTS since I was 11 and now I’m 18, at 11 years old I was going through a lot of pressure from everyone around me. It was always about school and becoming a surgeon or a lawyer, I was always good in school with high grades but those grades were high due to the amount of sleeps I lost, the amount of nosebleeds I’ve had, the amount of headaches I’ve had and I as a person who was always nonchalant I found it hard to express my feelings. The first time I came across bts was when I saw a really tanned boy with his shirt up and chocolate bar abs, not gonna lie that’s was why I watched it...it was their first debut stage and honestly at first the dancing was amazing but unfortunately the song was in Korean and I didn’t understand, however I looked the English version up and the lyrics literally reached out to me and had me feeling more confident and took some weights off of my shoulder and from then on I’ve been listening to bts I gave birth at 16 and going through people talking and gossiping about me, even my families [like my aunties, uncles some of my cousins] they said my brain was such a waste for a person like me and that I won’t succeed in life and I’d have to keep going through hardships and shit.....even though I had a kid at 16 I still went to school and thanks to bts i went with my head held high, I’m now 18 with a 2yr old son and I graduated at the top of my classes and as head girl😊 when my 2yr old was a baby I’d play Serendipity which calms him down, when Winter Flower by Younha ft RM came out my son fell in love with that song😊 now my son is 2 he can talk and sing, he knows all the lyrics to serendipity bc he grew listening to it and he knows the singing bit of Winter Flower [he said the guy (RM) was talking too fast and he can’t talk that fast] so every now and then because I’m also a guitarist, we sit outside singing serendipity and winter flower with the guitar

They provide hope and companionship. You never walk alone is a true statement when it comes to them. 💜

[@nethu6577]

*Twitter and spamming armies so poorly represent the fandom. If you have involved in fanwars, toxic shipping wars, sent death threats and hate to any person associated with bts even haters ----> YOU ARE NOT ARMY. Even if someone hates on the best thing to do is ignore and not engage. Do not worry about views and spammers, as far as you love bts nothing else matters. If you do not like any one member of bts and are delusional obsessive fans who think they do not have a personal life,-->YOU ARE NOT ARMY. We spread positivity only*

[@myouniverse0613]

THIS. Like rlly to those toxic fans i hope they realize bts hates them and will never accept them as one of their own

[@yolandavirginiamendozacal2530]

@@myouniverse0613 BTS doesn't hate them. BTS tries to be an example for people to slowly change for the better. The word and the feeling of "hate" is kind of not good. Let's educate not humilliate. 💜💜

Excellent xCeleste! I've been involved in #OneInAnArmy for a couple of years now, and I'm so proud of every Army that have donated or worked to make a change in the world. BTS didn't save me from anything, but they absolutely inspired me.

[@M_yesa]

Sometimes I'm more comfortable talking about personal struggles in this fandom than my family, I've met and interacted with people I'm not close with, but just simply share the same interests in bts as me but felt more related and comforted than some of my closest friends, I'm very glad to be apart of this amazing fandom and be on the same era of bts. I'll forever be an Army and walk bts and army in bad and good days😊 I purple BTS and Armys💜

When I became an ARMY last August 2019, your videos about BTS were my absolute favorite. It was full of substance and was very objective. You pointed out a lot of important things. I especially loved 2:49. The comparison between sports fans and music enthusiasts was on point. This video felt like the perfect ode to the most misunderstood fandom. You did it again @xCeleste!!! Well done. Thank you so much! 💜

[@ethelpearlquino5805]

I don't know why i still teared up on this when talking about our (ARMY) charity ,our effort to spread our BTS agenda and fighting against prejudice . As a 2015 ARMY it's very difficult back them ToT I am very proud of us how far we've become . (Crying in silence)

[@clbert7460]

Thank you for the video. It was just wonderful, so informative. This just solidified how I feel about BTS and ARMY. I’m new to “official” ARMY and just came back from my first two concerts in Vegas (one live play and the second on stage.) I met so many wonderful people, friendly, kind and generous. I heard from Uber drivers about the fandom…one woman from Belgium bought four tickets, one for herself and three to give away to anyone who wanted them without charge; another bought a bunch of BTS souvenirs to take home to other ARMY who couldn’t make it and he wasn’t planning to accept any money. Who else’s fandom takes such good care of each other? We are very fortunate to be part of this community. 💜

i remember an army asked me last week of why am i still in the fandom, why am i staying despite people saying we’re the most toxic fandom in the world. i told her i became an army because of bts so as long as i love bts so much, i will stay. and who cares on what people are saying? i know my fandom more than them. even though they keep telling negative things towards us, i never saw our fandom like that because most of the army i met, showed me kindness and love despite not knowing them personally.

Becoming a BTS ARMY is definitely one of the best things that's ever happened in my life. Personally, socially, psychologically, in so many aspects. The path that we've been walking together is so precious and full of marvelous learnings that I truly feel eternally blessed and thankful to them for coming into my life and teach me how to love myself and how to be a better version of myself. I'll treasure our 7 angels until the end of my existence in this world and hope they'll still be with me in the afterlife. I LOVE BTS 💜 & THANK YOU ARMY FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL VIDEO 💜

[@jineom146]

I saw HUGE potential on BTS FANS (A.R.M.Y.) on being a group that fights against the Asian Crime from what happened in South America (Chile). If the ARMY fights racism against throughout the world then itll be huge for the BTS or even the other human beings. It is a fact that most countries do not care about the racism against Asians over other minorities.

[@isikyazicioglu6672]

I'm in 21% proud Army,thank you dear Rosan ,this is amazing 💜

[@jessicapierce3027]

As an older ARMY I can say that everything BTS stands for resonates with a vast majority of people. All these issues that young people go through, we have been through too, and a lot of the feelings that we develope during those times don't just magically disappear because we reached adulthood. BTS may have started by being advocates for youth, but they make music for everyone, and if their message is one that can inspire people to be happier and treat others better then that can only mean good things for the younger generations and the world as a whole. I'm very grateful to be alive in the time of BTS, and I am not ashamed to be outside of the initial target demographic.

[@ForeverAmber_1]

💯!!!! I'm also an older ARMY, but their message resonates with me. I wish everyone I know could find comfort and inspiration in their music the way we have. 💜

This was the perfect way to show why anyone that starts having an interest in BTS quickly starts becoming ARMY. I know I started following BTS not just for their music and message but also seeing how it was able to resonate with so many people into doing positive actions in the real world, it gave me hope when I was just being consumed by pessimism about the world's future.
