A few thing that I would like to point out is that: 1) BTS did not became famous because of KZfaq. Instead, they build relationships with ARMY through platforms such as Twitter, Soundcloud, and KZfaq. Twitter is where they communicate. KZfaq is where they recorded their thoughts (and of course-music videos-official), and Soundcloud is where they put out their music(that aren't official-in the sense that is free). 2) BTS did not became famous overnight. They have been famous for a while all over the world, if not in Korean. Many Korean does not know BTS because of prejudice. Many only know them now because BTS become too huge an artists that it had become harder for them to ignore. 3) ARMY does not just stand for as a fandom to protect BTS. If that was the case, no body will know the name of BTS's fandom. Instead, A.R.M.Y stand for Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth. Just like what the name stand for ARMY have been not only protecting BTS but also those who are vulnerable in society. Many good deeds are done by ARMY in the name of BTS. That is why ARMY are not just fans. They are a society in itself. 4) The purple color is not just a color that is made up to become a symbol. The meaning and significant of it is greater than comparing to some band/group's color. Most everyone know Purple associates with BTS and BTS associate with Purple. No body really know what group have what color. But everybody know BTS's purple.

"BTS don't play drums" Jungkook at MusiCares: hold my drumsticks

“Be careful what you say” lmao this guy knows how powerful ARMY and BTS 😂😂😂

“That’s why they picked out boys with actual talent” I’m dead ☠️😂

Makes me wish they knew the real reason purple is our color.

I am a 62 year old ARMY from Canada and nothing has affected me more than BTS. I have seen all the greats in concert over the years...The Beatles, Prince, Michael Jackson and Queen just to name a few, but BTS has hit me harder than any of them. Their powerfully positive messages and their incredible connection to their fans, through vlogs and tons of other content, put them on a whole other level. The amount of charity work that ARMY does on behalf of BTS gives me so much hope for a better world for future generations.

"They (Big Hit) didn't have money. That's why the picked out boys with actual talent." How insane is that statement when you really think about it??

" they didn't have money, that's why they picked boys with actual talent" NO CAUSE THE SHADE 😳💀💀

I am ARMY, I love BTS. I am also 45 so not a young girl. The reason BTS resonated with me is that their music is one of the biggest motivators in my life. I suffered from depression and trauma from an abusive marriage. When nothing else was working, their music uplifted me, taught me to love myself and value myself again. Their social messages and the actual work they do to make the world a better place inspired me to better myself. They are just 7 young men who through their journey, communication with fans and sheer hard work, have inspired millions like me in all walks of life. During yesterday's delayed streaming of PTD day 3 in Seoul concert, ARMYs discussed their ages - youngest 11, oldest 100, every country was there. They have made me a part of a loving nurturing community. I have millions of friends around the world. I know K-pop may not be everyone's cup of tea but how can anyone dislike 7 of the finest young men who are only bringing fame and pride to their country and love and peace to the whole world? 💜💜💜💜💜

As a grandmother from American, I loved the BEATLES but I will honestly say I love BTS more!!💜💜💜

There are some people who act like BTS became world sensation overnight, without knowing their long struggling years, their immense hardwork and the gold mine of talent they have. It really pisses me of big time when people don't appreciate their past struggles and the steady rise and progression.

"I will trust and love you for a long time". ~ purple color 💜 BTS and ARMY's

I'm so tired of people thinking the fandom is carrying BTS like they did not have any talent of their own. We saw talent. We appreciated it. Cherrished it. Now it's your turn to show love to BTS not because you're afraid of the fandom but because they actually have done things that are unbelievable for the country and the industry. It's very easy to love them all you have to do is google. Jeesus

They looked like they're tired hearing things about how great BTS did .

I hope you guys see this comment. The colour purple is not something that the fandom had been associated with since the very beginning. It was just a phrase that V made up during a concert’s end statement but the phrase left an ever lasting effect and slowly became the fandom’s substitute for “I love you”. The introduction goes as , "Do you know what purple means? Purple is the last color of the rainbow. Purple means I will trust and love you for a long time, "I just made it up." For armyies “I Purple you” means a lot. Even though it wasn’t invented intentionally but it does represent our love and loyalty for BTS and theirs for us. Purple became our fandom’s colour as well. Please search thoroughly next time when you want to convey some information about anyone especially someone like BTS, who have very passionate fans and they all know everything.

Other kids: Cry when the song baby shark ended meanwhile : my nephew: cries when Dynamite by BTS ended.

ARMY = Adorable Representative MC for Youth im proud

BTS is gifted with talents and their music is great. That's why we fans grew to millions.

The music industry dont deserve such talented and precious artists like BTS theyre beyond that thats the simple truth

The truth is, we are Army because anyone who hurts them pays us, BTS received a lot of hatred from their nation just for not being part of the 3 big agencies, but now they are not They have us alone and we will protect them from anyone who tries to harm them, the Army is already tired of so much hatred !!!

We Stan the group which Stan us back😌🔰💜

They become popular because of their hard work (ARMYs are just bonus). I've still remember how other k-variety shows disrespected them. But anw! they deserved on what and where they are now.

When he's saying "Army is the one who protecting Bts" They should have put our Purple ribbon project in it. BTS were so happy at the project that even talk about it on every interview in America

"We will the ones who will protect BTS." That's a perfect interpretation~ Aside from coordinating with BTS's name (Bulletproof Boyscouts), ARMY is also an acronym that means Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth.

One day: there was a time when people just ignored BTS while they were walking around with bunch of outstanding talents. TODAY: Tables have turned they run a whole show just about BTS. My ARMY EGO🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝😎😎 EOTUKKHAE😭😭

ARMY MEANS ADORABLE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE MC OF THE YOUTH

There are millions of youtube creators and thousands of talented artists who are on youtube wanted to one day blow up and become famous. What sets BTS apart from all the rest is their personality. I understand that there are things they cannot show on camera but never did once I felt that they were faking their interactions with each other and with armys. They keep their vulnerability and their 'human' side (away from the usual perfect idol image) which makes them more relatable and likable to their audience.

He should have known why fans are called ARMY, "Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth"

Sad that he talks about BTS and their success but doesn't know the meaning behind why purple is significant, what ARMY stands for or the true reason they're successful- they're talented, humble and genuine. 🤔💜

I just love when older generation of korea love and adore BTS.

Exactly, BTS paved the way in the west✨

I am on my knee praying for a grammy for BTS!! They deserve it.

A.R.M.Y Adorable Representative M.C for Youth is the meaning of the fandom name.

THE SPEAKER KNOWS HOW TO AVOID WAR☺️

At the guy with the green shirt, sir bts WERE popular in korea back then,they achieved a lot and even the elderly loved them just bc u ignored them diesnt mean they werent doing well and they didnt blow up out of nowhere it took years if hardwork

6:27 “BTS is the symbol of revolution” 👏

It’s all started with Hello we are BTS , we’ll do our best

"BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY" Yes bestie, you never know what can happen ;)

Yeha....BTS😍 B=Born T=To S=Success💪💪💪..... Love you my Angels💜.....Thank you k-Doc👍✌️..sarenghea❤️....Lots of love from india😍

They look so unmused and just faking to look shocked hahahhaha still love this episode

I don't understand why they make a whole setup for a tv show talked about bts and army but didn't spend some time studying the real bts and army...this guy show nothing about the reason why bighit have to find a new way to promote bts throughout early days, those guests who thought bts come out of nowhere in western (even in korean) will keep thinking bighit and bts get everything just by luck😑

The fake reactions on some of the host faces are superb hahahhaa how unmused they were. still its great to watch

There's one thing here that's inaccurate, and every documentary seems to get it wrong! The meaning of ARMY doesn't relate to the military, and it isn't "an army of people to protect BTS." Some people might find it embarrassing but I'm proud of it: A.R.M.Y. stands for 'Adorable Representative MCs for Youth'. We protect the youth. That's our mission, along with BTS. It's actually something much deeper than just being a fan of a boyband, it means we join BTS in trying to create a better world for the next generation, trying to protect young people from prejudice, stereotypes and unfair conditions. That's part of why we do so much charity work!

I'm in my seventies I love BTS so 💜 much became an Army longtime ago watched their live concert they're very amazing performers talented and very humble artists if God permits I'm gonna watch their big comeback year 2025

They are not 21st century Beatles...They are just BTS who loves Music who loves ARMYs and loved by ARMYs💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

the teamwork make a dream come true.... teamwork from members, teamwork from staff of BIGHIT teamwork from Army... who imposibble to make a artist from.small.company artist from nothing will be success... they climb a mountain step by step with blood tears and sweat...never give up.and workhard💜💜💜

BTS is not really well-known in SK because obviously they're not from a huge company back then. And to be honest, BTS is the most perfect group who literally doesn't forget their own roots and their fans. They're the most humble person on earth and that's why the fandom is growing day by day. And i would like to really put it out there saying purple is not just a colour for a fandom, purple is the last colour of the rainbow and they're given other meaning to the armys from taehyung. And the name ARMY is not a name that we choose, it's from BTS.

“They didn’t have money. That’s why they picked out boys with actual talent.” I’m sure the nuance was lost in translation, but… the side eye!!! 😏😏🤯

My mom approaching in her 50s also loves bts❤ their influence transcends generations

somethings are ot correct. BTS rose to fame due to lyricism and their honesty in issues that mattered to everyone. All other thing that he mentioned did help but that wasnt the main reason.

YES BTS PAVED THE WAY

BTS was pick for there talents they already had. They Didn’t have to be made

Sad they don't know that ARMY is an acronym or the reason for the color purple.

Everyone there is a part one for this but it does not talk about BTS. part one is a different topic. If you still want to watch it, simply click on the channel and select the video directly below this one. the title is “where are my genZ at? We are no longer Homo sapiens but phono sapiens” Hope this helps😊

BTS IS BTS. AND PURPLE HAS A DEEPER MEANING OF IT. 💜

he explains really well. one thing if I say it's not even army can explain bts impact or success, because bts revolution is something you need to feel, you need to watch with your eyes. it's something you can't just describe with words, something you'll start but will never end.

People shouldn't just be careful of their words when they can sense someone's immense presence like BTS and ARMY..it should be done to every artist and fandom!

"Be careful of what u say" Literally had me rolling

What makes this video wholesome is the fact that each one of these featured artists/people went through so much that maybe even made them hit rock bottom but they bounced back and is shining and paving the way for a new era. Diamonds are formed under pressure so, don't give up just keep dreaming and keep on living. God Bless us all....

ARMY means Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth.

ARMY - ADORABLE REPRESENTATIVE MC for YOUTH

Bts didn't just blow up, they were suppressed by the media coz they were from a poor company. :( They even entered billboard before the media recognized them

I cannot believe the presenter didn't know the meaning of A.R.M.Y and origin of Purple colour and "I purple you". 보라해 (Borahae).

We are not called ARMY because we protect BTS. The name is an actual abbreviation.

Dr. Jiyoung Lee explain more detail than this. I literally want to explain more than him

BTS PAVED THE WAY

I loved your documentary content about BTS, Their posivity vibes spread around the world Thanks You

"They (Big Hit) didn't have money. That's why they picked out boys with actual talent." Other agencies with money: 👀

i personally dont even want to continue watching as soon as i heard the guy in green speak

BTS isn’t popular because of their huge fanbase; no it’s because of their talent, If they weren’t talented, so wouldn’t there be a huge fanbase that wants to support good music and actual talented artists. Please put this in your mind.

I am a normal person......saw BTS 😌💜 Then click immediately 😌💜

ARMY actually is an acronym for Adorable Representative MC for Youth

Please bring back Dr. Jiyoung Lee. Thanks~ I prefer her how she say things and uses the right words and with a deep analysis and research.

This show dont know much of bts and armys but bts is famous they still made this

Correction: A- adorable R-representative M-MC for Y-youth

Really made me cry when I look back at journey of my boys

i’m american and i watched this whole video through the captions! what a great episode!

The man said "BigHit Entertainment was a Venture. They had no money. THAT'S WHY THEY PICKED OUT BOYS WITH ACTUAL TALENT." Cue MicDrop please. Lmmfao That was brilliant.

BTS did not just become popular on a span of a day, their popularity is not because they become viral or what. Their international popularity and fandom increase gradually but Koreans choose to ignore them. I remember way back when their digitals is so low, international ARMYS keeps on voting and streaming for them overnight for their first win but sadly, they always lose cause their fandom in Korea is still weak. International ARMYS keeps on promoting them everywhere. Even if they have win on Run era, they are still underrated. When Fire MV come out, that's the start of their gradual increase when it comes to local popularity and that continue up until now that they are on the top. BTS did not go on the top in just a day, they constantly run on the rough path until they are on top. They really deserve it all.

Imagine being so powerful that Korean ent show decided to give lecture about you ! Only BTS and ARMYs can relate ^^

This really educated man talking so respectfully and admiringly of BTS literally brought me to tears. It makes me so happy that our boys receive love from different types of people who may not even be fans. Thank you to this man for sharing BTS’ story and enlightening others about who they are, and thank you ARMY for loving and supporting BTS in every single thing they do 💜💜 Gamsahabnida!

Although there were slight inaccuracies about BTS, I enjoyed the vid. BTS did not just happen on YT and get a huge following. Their key was their energy - magnetic, authentic, sincere. That's what draws people to BTS. But I am glad for people to keep thinking it's because of YT hahah, are you serious? Also I was embarrassed that I did not know baby shark was Korean until BTS came to par with her. Very major!

I never hate a song so much, until my nephew listening to baby shark 24/7 even when he's fall asleep 😭😭 then we have one day break when the phone hang but he's crying and screaming and kicking everything 😭

BTS BECOME SO POPULAR BECAUSE THEY LOVE THEIR FANS AND CALLED THEM ARMY THEY CONTINOUSLY INTERACT AND MADE A CONNECTION WITH ARMY THEY WIN HEARTS THAT'S HOW THEY BECOME FAMOUS NOT BECAUSE OF KZfaq PLEASE NOTE THAT... ARMY + BTS = BIG FAMILY 👪 AMRY PURPLE BTS BTS PURPLE ARMY'S 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Well, they are called "ARMY'' because it's an acronym for "Adorable representative of MC for youth". It's an acronym but very few knows about it !!! This is the reason it's always written in all caps. It's ARMY not Army or army but it's not that important so everything is acceptable. Also because as BTS stands for bulletproof boy scout, so their fadon is named ARMY that always there for BTS, stands besides them and protects them. If they are bulletproof boy scout then ARMY is their bulletproof vest !!!

BTS Army always together icon legend of 21st century

This dude didn’t use our government name when they asked what ARMY meant😭😭😭

BTS is BTS, period. Love them all! 💕

Them talking about american ARMY, spanish ARMY me :🥲🇪🇸 Anyway, I love ARMY so much, people say we are really toxic (it’s true that there are some who are) but we just protect our boys from all disrespectful comments BORAHE BTSXARMY 💜

when that one person was like I actually don't know why they're famous they were only popular among teens I was like uh oh tell me you're not going where I think you're going and then thankfully it wasn't

We are Proud to be ARMY ITS OUR PRIDE

While I agree that ARMY made the big difference for BTS, it should always be noted why ARMYs chose BTS in the first place. Cos there are a lot of artists, even western artists, who have a large fanbase. Some western artists have bigger followers than BTS, but if you see the engagements in BTS posts, it's always millions per post. When they go live, the concurrent viewers are millions too. They sell out stadiums all over the world, and even for online paid concerts, they can have almost million PAID viewers. So why ARMYs are so engaged? What's different with BTS? It really boils down to how BTS is as artists, but more importantly as how they are as human beings. Their genuine personalities and passion for their craft are factors why fans root for them. And they REALLY love their fans. They are the most unproblematic artists out there and all the people they've worked with always have good things to say about them and how they are good people even behind camera, and how professional they are when it comes to work. I really believe that if you're a good person and works with passion, good karma will always be with you.

well army actually has a meaning... Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth and ofcoz we also protect bts but my point is that our name has a meaning

I can honestly say BTS is the only group I've listened to that i know every members first and last name! I grew up in the late 90's and early 2000's with groups like NSYNC and Backstreet Boys... But i only recall Justin Timberlake name...Ha Ha Ha! 💜💜 I will be BTS Army for life!💜💜

I don’t know why it makes me laugh when people except BTS and Army’s think BTS are experimental objectives rather than beautiful souls who talked about problems of societies that is common around the globe no matter what language you speak or what countries you are from. People are so obsessed to crack that part that made and makes BTS popular. They want to know the formulas of popularity and fame behind BTS to create another BTS. But what people lack to understand is that there is none and they never can make replica of BTS. Despite their popularity there are people who takes their popularity and power advantages making them ladder to go up.

That’s why they picked out boys with actual talent” I’m dead spilled

for me to respect someone as an artist is not enough to be pretty or handsome, neither sing like a opera singer , neither be nice with your fans. is more than that ... of course you can be famous with those qualities and there are som ekpop groups as examples ...but is not enough to equal bts level.

We armys is actually nice as long as you don't talk you know.. bad about them.. if you don't like their music it's fine just don't give hate or whatever to them.

They deserve grammy ❤️

"Bts don't play drums" sir wait to see drummer jungkook 😌
