despite there being a lot of self-criticism on the fandom, the bts army proves with actions that they created a positive shift in fandom culture, and the recent discussion on the fandom's toxic side comes from a place of holding each other accountable and becoming an even better fandom💜
0:00 intro
1:26 army's toxic reputation
4:41 army respects bts's privacy
6:19 army cares for bts's safety
9:36 army cares about each other's safety
12:11 army is generous to one another
14:36 army cares about the world
15:56 conclusion

It still blows my mind that no one went to see Jin during his enlistment!! Love this fandom!! I just want to add a cute story, after seeing the yet to come concert at the movies , an older army requested a photo with everyone, I believe she's an organiser for fandom activities, but she also reminded everyone to pick up their own rubbish because "ARMY clean up after themselves". Iv never had this experience in any other fandom!

It takes maturity, self control and loads of respect. I’m also amazed that Tae was able to complete his filming of Jinny’s Kitchen safely with little to no disclosure of where the filming was during the filming. Fans who went to eat at the eatery during the filming were so respectful. I was particularly touched to see a young fan left a note for Tae to express her adoration after eating at the eatery and left without making a scene. So cool.

The only problem with this is that anyone who don't know BTS will think, "these BTS guys are nothing, nobody knows them." And in one of the Jinnys Kitchen episode, one of the customers sort of implied this sentiment after finding out from one of his friend that Tae was supposed to be a "famous boy band member." He said to Tae, "how does it feel when nobody knows you and you are just a normal guy, it must feel strange to you." Little did this guy know, it was because masses of Tae fans were purposefully keeping away. But like I always believed, pandemonium piques the interests of other people who may not know BTS. Then they do research and might even become fans. This is how many people became BTS fans because of all the excitement around BTS from fans initially, that led others to research them.

@@Hqmptynpw But we should not care about that. What matters is the comfort and the well-being of our faves. What outsiders think about it should not be important to us. We should be happy that our faves feel comfortable and safe around us. Isn't it more enjoyable to behave normally around them and actually earn their respect and see them feeling safe instead of us acting like crazy people and scaring them? We can make more great memories with them when we act normal around them. People are too used to fans acting hysterically around their idols, that's why they were kinda shocked about how Tae was just like a random guy and not one of the members of the most famous boy band. We should actually be proud of that. We should be proud of the fact that we, as fans, know where is the line, and that we know the limits. I hope you understand what I mean.

​@Blossom 🌺🌺 that other fandom is not streaming those numbers. The views have come from the company. Its pretty much common knowledge that company does it.(there have been some damning videos of people that used to work there). Especially for that group. They also have a ton of fake fan accounts to encourage rumors and nastiness on social. For reactors, the haters watch the reaction vids and ups their view count and that's how they see the video, so they have something they can say when they'rehating it online. But, the music is copyrighted. So any reactor that reacts, the royalties will still go to the group.

My sisters and I talk about this ALL THE TIME. Joining the BTS fandom completely changed our expectations for other artists and started putting other artists we used to be big fans of into a poor light. The way BTS communicates with their fans (one example out of a million others) is far superior to any other group or artist I have ever come across or been a fan of and I’ve been around for a while.

Even now we’re trying to course correct the fandom after Namjoon came on live disappointed in the lack of meaningful discussion in the chat because lives have been overrun by fans seeking a reaction from the members, shippers, and flags. He said “we changed” and that was all that was needed to enact a serious change in how we can do better for them on Weverse since it’s now their primary means of communication with us. International Twitter ARMYs have taken the lead of using Papago and Google translate so we can talk to them (and K-Diamonds think our efforts are cute lol) instead of them being met with walls of spam in every live. We don’t just self-police for the fandom’s health, but also for BTS to continue feeling connected to us. We grew side by side as fans and artist, and we don’t want to lose that no matter how big either of us become.

I’m not an Army but I work in the game development industry and I’m glad you’re already aware you’re just as important as anyone else in the project, because without the fandom there isn’t any support and way to continue to make what we’re making. We’re all literally part of it, and when people look back, it isn’t just the people in front of the cameras that made the history be possible, is everyone behind the cameras, wich means the fans at the time. Is why whenever I find out someone is an og Beatles fans I get just as excited and need them to tell me stories because they _created_ the beatlemania!! And it’s always very heart warming for them to realize that indeed that happened because of them as well and they wished they felt this sooner 🥹

BTS deserve everything for all that they do, they are always there for us, as we are with them. They have entertained & comforted us in difficult times.

I've been involved with my community and donating my time, money, and energy since the early 2000s. Right before the pandemic, the politics in the states got so bad that I started hating people and shifted all my donations toward canine organizations only. It wasn't until I found BTS at the end of 2020, that my heart softened again and I reshifted back to donating to the goodness of mankind. I haven't missed a donation for any of the boys' birthdays, comebacks, and OIAA campaigns. BTS and ARMY have restored my faith in humanity. I can't imagine myself in any other fandom. I love us.

You army for me are not just other fans, but a second family that reminds me how beautiful this world can be. and I really hope that the general public learns to open their minds and find out more about us, like this boracity channel I love more and more.

Agreed 100%, we argentinean armys had a situation when Jin arrived but after that we left him alone. I remember the majority of us didn't know where he was stayingand after he left most of us found out that a host had twitted the location the 2nd day but the armys who saw it didn't say anything until he left so it wouldn't get viral. The host was heavily criticed from us, we didn't want the info at all.

The amount of power this holds like just saying ‘’I’m an army’’ makes you sound so…….. Powerful. as if a singular person = ARMY ARMYs are the most humanitarian fandom I have ever witness The fact that almost every birthday or celebration, ARMYs donate to organizations or come up with projects to help out their community or around the world, is amazing. So many kpop fandoms and locals don’t even see that! They are so focused on the negative side of things and refuse to see the positive things the fandom has done for others. Someone who is attracted to drama only, says a lot about kpop stans of other groups.

I know majority of the sensible ARMYs don't even look at the chat because it's enraging and embarrassing to see all the spams and nasty little comments but I highly encourage to go leave some nice messages the next time a member goes live. doolset has made a list of nice things you can say in Korean on their twt account. And also pls help flag spam messages like 'speak in English' or 'Yoongi marry me' or 'I'm [member's] wife.'

I've always felt really uncomfortable with how people treat their favorite artist in their private time. We don't have a right to what they don't want to give. Consent is a very important thing in any relationship, including artist and fans, including parasocial relationships. Seeing the respect from ARMY made it so much easier for me to be a part of the fandom. Their generosity moves me. I went to the Las Vegas concert to feel a part of something bigger. I wanted to hear the chants. i wanted to feel the energy. I didn't expect gifts. i didn't expect the girl in front of me with the now famous Jhope "WOW" sign to let me know ahead of the concert that she had it and that she would not have it up for long and to apologize for the few moments she would hold it up. I did not expect the kind of community I saw. I still have the fanmade bracelet and photocard on my desk. its as precious to me as any of the merch i've bought (more so in some cases). The fans really are the other half of bts. there's something special there

It wasn't until that moment that I realized I had been conditioned to normalize it. It always makes me sad that people think that ARMY sit around all day fighting with everyone... no... actually no. 😂 If all you see are ARMY fighting with you? Congrats, you have found your mirror image and you are also part of the problem. 95% of us are sitting in ARMY spaces talking music, performances, pictures, upcoming activities, various other content and yes, a decent amt of time fighting it out with each other about music opinions and ARMY actions. We really do not sit around all day talking about other musical acts and fandoms unless they infiltrate that space. It's just not interesting to us. We don't hate your k-pop band, but we also don't care about them, sorry.

The ARMY culture is primarily the result of BTS being the most non-celebrity celebrities in the way they treat each other, view other artists, their art, and of course, how they respect their relationship with ARMY. When any member says, "trust us," we do, because they display integrity, gratitude, conscientiousness, and accountability for the impact they have on each other and on others.

As I've been in the fandom for over a year now, I'm starting to realize that much of the toxicity comes from s0l0s, casual fans who just want attention, or antis...Being a part of this fandom changed my perspective about celebrities as well, I no longer see the invasion of privacy of celebrities as something we are entitled to as public. BTS and ARMY taught me that and I'm so grateful to be a part of this fandom!

in a way, it's like the way bts are and treat other people respectfully, it's just attracted people who have become army because bts are genuinely good people themselves. they influence us in so many ways it's practically visible. all this fandom has is love and groundedness. every fandom has its downsides, but we come back together each time. people who talk bad about us are simply trying to make the "crazy, insane, demented fangirls" thing happen when it's not going to. the only people like that are ones that simply are not real fans and we call them out because we know who we are and that's why we're so big.

I was never a fan of any big artist before BTS, I thought that Directioners and Beliebers and every other fan of mainstream artists were crazy and out of control. When I was first introduced to BTS by my friends I did not instantly become a fan, I thought that they were like all the other singers who were shallow and only sang about girls and money. I was so surprised and shocked when I learnt that they are everything but that, they are the first famous people I have ever loved because they are so sincere. They are so talented, hardworking and passionate and kind and they inspire me everyday. These seven men taught me so much and I'll always be grateful to them, becoming ARMY was the best thing that I've ever done for myself and growing up with them is an honour. I'm so proud of the artists that I love and support and I'm so honoured to be part of ARMY who is kind and so involved with making the world a better place. ARMY is not like other fandoms, we are powerful and we are a force of good. Everyone please remember that no matter what anyone says, we are good and everything we do is to support BTS and each other. Do not spread hate because we are better than that, although we face constant opposition and hate, remember that you are not alone, you are part of ARMY and you will never walk alone.

I've warned some new reactors that they will probably run into haters posing as ARMYs in an effort to insult them out of the fandom. K-pop has a fairly justified rep for toxicity- helped by the fact that most companies foster and condone the competitive jealousy. Which is just one more reason why BTS doesn't fall into the K-pop category, in my mind; Big Hit not only doesn't condone that behavior, they punish it! I regretted seeing RM's comments about the behavior during his Weverse-live, but I still feel a little awed by the ARMY response to it. I've never seen a fandom react so quickly and positively to a situation like that- most fandoms would take the, 'who does he think he is, how dare he not want to interact, it's all part of being a celebrity, he should expect things like this' attitude. Yet there was ARMY practically spamming the Weverse feed with guidelines and suggestions of what needs to change and how we can do better. Amazing. I'm really proud of the fandom, and proud to be part of it.

Esto es tan cierto.. hace unos meses escuche un podcast mexicano y hablaban de los fandoms, la chica era directioner y contaba como antes era de las personas que seguía a los chicos a todos lados cuando tenían un concierto o evento en su ciudad y contaba como funcionaba la logística para enterarse donde estaban y lo publicaban entre ellos para poder llegar a donde iban a estar y lo decía abiertamente y con orgullo.. y yo pensé.. wow si esto lo hiciera hoy una army seria tan funada.. y me puse a pensar si era una cosa exclusiva de army o si las cosas habían cambiado con el tiempo, porque yo no forme parte de ningún fandom en mi adolescencia entonces no se como funcionaba antes pero viendo este video me asegura que no son los tiempos, es el fandom y army es realmente especial.. así que orgullosa de pertenecer a ARMY, mi primer y único fandom con 32 años 😊💜

I feel so proud ,I'm literally tearing . Let's continue this great culture and spreading it. Even sometimes I feel so embarrassed by toxic armys ,it feel so good to know that there are more fans who really care for them.

Thank you so much for posting this video❤ In the recent live namjoon told that we have changed looking at those weird comments that was bothering me so much as mentioned in this video because of the few ppl who pretend to be army our fandom is always portrayed as crazy fangirls/boys... since the day I became army ppl around me use to tell your fandom is so toxic so you are crazy fangirl too I even know ppl who listen to bts watch all their contents but they never want themselves to call army as they think the fandom is toxic and they don't want to be called like that but I never listened to them for me all 7 members are so precious they helped me a lot to get out of the dark phase in my life... and I really love our fandom they are funny understanding helpful I'm proud to be an army and I will always be an army APOBANGPO💜

I think another reason is that while solo stanning/prioritizing one member over the rest and therefore hating on the other members is seen as normal and even gets promoted to a certain level in other groups (especially western boy bands), even if you have a bias in bts, armys try to make it clear over and over again how much they love and respect ALL the members. Solo stanning is not tolerated at all in our fandom which is why solo stans often get treated the same way as regular haters.

This made me cry.The amount of times we were called toxic is immeasurable. As an Army i learnt many good things from BTS also from the senior Armys of ours. The older Armys educate baby Armys alot and I'm one of the baby army who got to know about bangtan more deeply and also I've witnessed how Armys used to support bangtan from the start, used to motivate other Armys to support BTS. This shows how sweet Armys are, because Our idols are kind and generous so does we are. BTS raised us (ARMYS) very well. Thank you so much for making this video, letting everyone know what Armys are in actual. And if you are still here reading this, Armys lets always be down to earth and spread positivity like our Boys. Borahae all 💜

We really are super big that it gets me that ppl will treat us like a monolith and think we all know what's going on in every aspect of our fandom. But we actually don't know what's going on in *every* sub-community (I mean, communities separated by socmed platforms), so it always gets me that outsiders will go onto a 2nd socmed platform to address an issue they have involving ARMY from a completely different platform and the majority of ARMY on that 2nd platform will have no idea what that person is talking abt.
