How The BTS Army CHANGED Fandom Culture | Reaction
naniluv1_
Today, i ( NaniLuv1_ ) reacted to something beautiful... somethin Special.. K-Pop & BTS related news! I've heard it be hyped up but i thought it was a trend but im actually thoroughly impressed! I reacted to BTS for the FIRST TIME and i might just binge watch more later today tbh. Tell me what songs i should react to next? This is my first time reacting to Kpop and i think its awesome! - บันเทิง

At one point BTS asked for ARMY to stop sending them gifts and to spend the money on ourselves. We can send letters but no gifts. Once that happened that is how all the projects started in their name and it caught on like wildfire in such a great way.Doing good for others is good for ourselves too. I'm proud to be ARMY!
That’s amazing to hear! Army is Tammy one of a kind! Thank you for watching! I appreciate you!
purple ribbon was about protecting bts from getting mobbed
Yeah, that’s really dope (good) that fans Can police themselves in a positive manner. It’s actually really rare & unique. Thank you for watching! I appreciate you 🕺🏽
7:01 just so you dont think shes being judgey here, she wasnt saying she only counts ARMYs who pay for the membership, she just counted them for the statistics because thats a verifiable number, & if she tried counting the entire fandom it'd be a guess. Shes just using the 15 million as a sample size ☺️ 💜
Ohhhh that makes sense 😅, I should’ve caught that while I was watching! Thank you for watching, I appreciate you!
we really don't like when media describes us as crazy or rabid.. there are so many other words like passionate or enthusiastic or devoted
there's also a common idea that we are all teenagers lol
I see you have a Coldplay album in the background. Did you know BTS and Cold play have done a collaboration? The song is My Universe. Jin also did a song with Cold play called The Astronaut. Please watch the live version. It's phenomenal!
I didnt! Wow, BTS has worked with all the humongous acts lol I need to go watch! Thank you for watching 😎 , I appreciate you!
I was about to comment this! Lol yes please
@@naniluv1_livemy Universe is the title name. There is an MV posted in cold0lay Yt channel and a documentary posted in BangtanTV channel.
BTS also did a cover of Fix You and it was beautiful!
Chris has such good relationship with the members we basically call him Uncle Chris now 😄
@@naniluv1_live there's also a short documentary about the creation of My Universe, please watch it after the song!
The "freebies"? Yeah....they've done MANY concerts and "movies" in actual movie theaters. Even for those, many fans make up "ARMY Packs" to give out for them.
My youngest and I just saw the D-Day "movie" a few weeks back. We got little boxes, I printed out "What's in Your ARMY Pack" stickers to put on them, with the contents (Yoongi/Suga/Agust D bookmarks, photo cards, stickers, a mini-notebook, and - OUR tradition - a couple of Starburst candies)...all but the Starbursts (of course) hand-made by the two of us.
We had a blast!
the free concert was actually to promote SK and Busan for EXPO, so the administration should have paid for it but they didn't
oh i love Boracity videos hope to see more :) and im so proud to be BTSArmy..
I love bora city videos as well. Do you by chance know if any channels like this one for stray kids?
honestly I don't, sorry :
I’ve literally been binge watching your videos all afternoon and I just want to say thank you for being so open to kpop, bts, and army! We appreciate your positive outlook on this fandom and I support you and your channel!☺️ for sure gained a faithful subscriber from me💜
Wow such a great comment 😁 , I hope my content will forever entertain you! I appreciate you for watching & supporting!
Boracity is the BEST!! You can find so many great video docu-essays on BTS. She breaks things down so intelligently, and she brings receipts! I'd love to see you react to more of Boracity. Her channel is just on BTS. You may want to scroll through some of them to see which one's you might find interesting. A lot of the old and new BTS reactors on TH-cam react to many of her docu-essays. It's definitely a great resource channel to subscribe to. 💜
I’m definitely going to react to more of her content! Do you suggest any other channels like bora city that may be on stray kids or ateez?
@naniluv1_live I'm not sure about whether other groups have a similar channel to hers or not. As far as I know, she only does on BTS. She's extremely intelligent and analytical in her videos as well. 💜
Believe it or not there's many of those bored people pretending to be armys on twt while hating other groups or BTS themselves lmao
It's annoying af but ok
It's true that there's a portion of toxic people but let's be honest, there's people like that in EVERY community. Sadly the toxic ones are really loud and army is a big fandom =more people. So, many think the whole fandom is like that when in reality army is one of the most generous and united fandoms ever and like this video proves, we have been changing fandom culture.💜 I still don't get how some people celebrates their own favs being harassed or being stalked by some "fans". That sht is insane 💀
I honestly think that even if we did the purple ribbon project, the situation in airports is still out of control in many countries. Especially In France and Korea bc that has happened a lot, but also the part of that crowd that literally runs like animals towards the members and shoves their phones to their faces are mostly saesangs. (People who stalks bts and even share or sell their private information. Some have been blacklisted by BigHit too).
Boracity always spitting facts!! Dope reaction!!
The free concert in Busan (yes it is in SK) was put on as part of the bid to promote Busan to be able to host the World Expo in 2030. They did not win the bid. I think part of it may have been because of the crappy way they tried to organize the BTS concert. It was a mess from the beginning. They had no real plan. The only reason it was a success was because BigHit/HYBE and BTS stepped in and took over the planning. They changed the venue to a stadium in Busan instead of a parking lot they were trying to redo for it. If they couldn't even successfully put on a concert how would they be able to host the World Expo? Another thing about this bid is they used BTS by dangling their military conscription over their heads like they were going to exempt BTS from the military if they promoted this for the government. They were sketchy about this from the beginning. Little did we know that BTS was not interested in their deals and had already made the decision to enter the military on a schedule that would mean that they would only be gone for 2 1/2 years before they could come together as a group again. They also did so much extra work before going in to be released while they are away so we would not be crazy about them not being around. They planned this for quite some time because they have each released solo work (and continue to do so, RM's pre-release song is coming out tonight) and done many other things while away. Jin is going to be the first one out as he is coming back in June this year, followed by j-hope in October and the rest of them in June 2025.
Is not easy thing to become TRUE ARMY they work hard to fulfill their dreams so pls respect BTS and all the people around the world
From army 💜💜💜

BTS has taught/helped heal so many of us with their message of love yourself. Every album has at least one song with social commentary/criticism. They model such good behavior we strive to make them proud of us. We’ve seen them as huge artists picking up trash/stage at huge events so we model that by leaving places cleaner. It’s a loop of a totally different kind of parasocial relationship than I’ve ever seen. 😊❤
I see the Coldplay poster in the back. Did you know Coldplay and BTS have a song together from their Music of the Sphere album? It's called "My Universe" and it's awesome! Thank you for your reactions and Borahae!
what you are saying about how wrong is the invasion of artists' privacy and how it can lead to dangerous events IS EXACTLY WHAT WE'VE BEEN SAYING preach
we never encourage doxxing, that's vile, we try to reason with the person who's wrong
but you surely can see different types of behavior in the fandom, good and bad, we are too huge to be one minded. it is encouraged to be a better and respectful human though
in sk men can enlist any time before they turn 28. for bts it was postponed till 30 because they were awarded with Cultural Merit medal. Jin, the oldest, had to go in 2022, so he enlisted in december, and he's actually coming back this june! the others followed after Jin with some delays due to their solo releases, but overall they have all enlisted within a year. this is not common for kpop, usually each member goes separately when they can't delay it anymore, while the rest of the group keeps promoting without that member. bts chose to stop group activities and enlist together, so they can come back in 3 years as a complete group again. this is only possible because they were sure in army's undying support. for a regular kpop group leaving the stage and not promoting for 3 years can be considered death
I can tell you in my 57 years, I have never ever seen a fandom like Army 💜💜💜🤟🇺🇸💜💜💜💜
I'm a 58yo Army, I am also a Stay and a czennie but army membership is the only one I pay for.. I've been blessed the last 2 yrs to be able to afford it but at first I couldn't..I believe and respect the guys and Armies know that they chose to share themselves with us,.. I myself have given out cards as gifts and have received gifts... Also, there's such a thing as Finding an Army in the wild, which is like seeing a fellow army in public I've left a sticker on a fellow armies car at Walmart before..💜💜💜
💜💜💜
2:30 she didn't name it, cause i never heard similar saying for Michael Jackson fans to be honest, but Beatlmania, One direction infection, Bieber feaver all phrases used to diminish fans of those artists.
This doesn't mean Boracity thinks MJ didn't have same sort of fandom reaction, but somehow noone called it out like that, maybe because the % of females in Beatles, JB, 1D and BTS fans is higher.
Oof ya gotta do some research lol Michael Jackson is 2nd in album sales all time only behind the beetles but the beetles was a group. If we’re talking solo artist, michael Jackson is #1 all time and there was no internet back then! Thank you for watching! I appreciate you 😎
@@naniluv1_live ermmm...sure he is n1 noone argued against that...she just gave example of popular artists two of them were bands that received names as form to diminish and criticise the fandom that consisted mostly of women.
Idk why you gave me chart history here tbh😅
@@naniluv1_live like i was talking about names media gave to mock fans for liking artists, and you tell me about charts....if MJ fans also were mocked for liking him or gathering to see him, let me know how they were mocked, cause i never heard about it
@AlexaOleksa ohhh I misread what you wrote. Just waking up lol I thought you were saying MJ wasn’t as big as them but you were talking about the mania names to diminish the artist.
En este hermoso mundo de ser fans ....he Sido la más feliz tengo 46 años y he sido Moonwalker (fans de Michael Jackson) por casi 38 y ahora también feliz ARMY desde hace 4 años soy gracias a la vida por vivir mis días conciente de lo afortunada que soy a haberlos conocido y elegirlos ....los amo
I didn't see this answered, though you probably know by now -
Yes, they are all in the military right now.
Yes, they chose to all go together in order to come back to ARMY and get back to work quicker. No other group has ever done that. There is a bit of staggered entry, with Jin going first, then j-hope. So they are getting back first. Suga went a little earlier than the rest too, but he is getting back around the same time, because he has to serve a bit longer. He is doing civil service (desk job) because of his old shoulder injury/surgery so had to serve a bit longer. Jin is coming back next month (June!) Hobi (j-hope) is due back in October. The rest return in Summer 2025.
Ngl, I also expect that they will also come when Jin get enlisted since we can't stop the others but to my surprise they did LISTEN.
I absolutely love your reactions! Like, I agree with everything you say, and I’m glad I’m watching someone who thinks almost exactly like me lol
Thank you so much!!
@@naniluv1_live 💜
Army do the charity stuff all the time, right now, i'm from brazil and the South is literally being overflow by the water, and all the armys and people are doing the charity.
yes, it is a good video. Thank you
I appreciate you! Thank you for always tuning in!
i have been in this fandom since 2019 and came acros every type of army . i fully agree , actions speak louder than words , i was there when army were gathering money to match the donation for blm , and right now army try to gather donations and encourage other to donate for palestine and similar cases .
This happened with Elvis, the Beatles, Chuck Berry. This is just the next generation who is handling it much better! I applaud you.
You did good loved the video
💜💜💜
I'm poor and on my City doesn't coming to the cine the bts shows, but once in 1of february of 23 I was in another state and I did go to THE CINE and was amazing, i prepare a lot of freebies to giving and stickers, but i have social phobia so i was very anxious, but at the end i give, and was so cool and amazing see the army, and i till entry one group of that day and after they give me my first official thing from bts, a cd of idol,boy with luv and light in japanese, and i'm so thankful for them till today, to bts and army.
You’re amazing! Keep being you!!
25:42 there is a popular saying within the fandom that those people “hate BTS more than they love their own favs”. So tragic and miserable
21:16 technically it is stealing lol😂. But bangtan has proven time and time again that they really dont care and even ask their own label to not take down the links. They understand that not everyone is capable of affording the content and they have also struggled with finances in their past so they understand.
An army once posted on weverse apologizing that she watch a concert illegaly and BTS said that thye dont care and they still love her. Its not that thwy encourage the behaviour but they dont reprimand it either so...
Also when Yoongi did a solo tour he would come down to barricade and video himself using fans phones and one time he caught an army live streaming and just laughed and gave it back to her
BTS is cool for not being mean to their audience like a lot of other artist would
17:43 nah they had the money but the dude over the city of Busan where they held the concert spent it on some other bullshit 🤦🏾♀️
11:23. 12:50. 14:27. 14:58. 16:50. 17:06. 17:16 true. 17:38 SK obviously have funds to hold a BTS concert, but not only are they NOT paying BTS for selflessly promoting the City & their whole country, they even have the audacity to let BTS pay for the f*cking expenses for the whole concert, even though they're the ones who specifically asked BTS to promote the whole city.
And who gets benefits from all BTS hardwork? Definitely not BTS. 18:42. 20:58
Finally!! (Kookie’s voice)
Binged all your BTS reactions up to this one! Thank you for deciding to continue exploring our purple galaxy!
Subscribed to walk your Bangtan adventures with you! 😉🌳🌻🛤️🌸🌳
12:45 well the thing is they didn't go in at the same time, but roughly around the same time. Like Jin(oldest) will be back June this year, Jhope will be back around October this year, Suga and the other 4 member left pairs (JK and Jimin, RM and V) will be back around June next year.
Ok, fandoms have been around since the beginning of I would say Rock and Roll... Elvis and so on... but in Korea, it's on a whole new level... there are so-called fans that are called Saesangs. These people need professional help. And I'm not kidding. This didn't start with BTS, but it did hit a fever pitch with the beginning of the fandom. I would like to give you some examples.
A member of a group called TVXQ actually had super glue put into his orange juice. And yes, he drank it, hot extremely ill. He was in the hospital for several days. I believe that to this day, he still has problems.
Kidnapping, weirdly enuf is also another. A saesang got on stage at a Girls Generation concert and proceeded to walk onto stage in the middle of a preformance and tried to grab on of the girls from the group. There are videos on that one. The second kidnapping actually involved the whole group, I believe it was the group, V.A.V. they were in a different country, on a bus going to the airport, and when their managers climbed off, the doors closed and the bus left the airport. They were taken to an undisclosed place. All because the frickin presidents daughter wanted to meet them and get their autograph.
One saesang wrote a letter in her own period blood, threatening the idol. One decided to follow the idol into a men only bathhouse and took photos with him when he fell asleep.
One snuck into a house, and when he got home, he could hear her behind his dresser, giggling.
A lot of these saesangs and not just Korean. There is a reason why several groups buy out an entire floor of hotels. Ppl can't get to these floors unless they are part of their staff. One group of girls here in the states, around 2018 or 19, videotaped themselves gettinto a hotel room, going thru someone's luggage and stealing items from the room. The whole time, they were saying it was Jungkook's room. However, there was no way they could have gotten into his room, and it was proven that they were lying several days later.
These saesangs will get jobs at utility companies just to get addresses and phone numbers of these idols. Some will befriend employees of the companies to get their schedules or plane info and then get plane tickets on the same flight. Follow them to the States, China, England, wherever the idols are going.
There is one saesang that has been harassing an idol by the name of Naeyon of a group called Twice. He has even said they are married. He followed her and moved to Korea to be near to her. And one English saesang that got over 175,000 dollars worth of plastic surgery to look more like BTSs Jimin. First off, it didn't work. And second, he went on the Dr. Phil Show and actually said he identifies as Korean. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't care how someone identifies themselves. However, this guy actually believes he is Korean in a white man's body. He is known throughout the fandom. And ppl have told him otherwise. He just doesn't want to hear it.
Keep in mind, it's not just normal ppl who do things like this. About a year ago, right before RM of BTS went into the military, he went to a monastery and spent time with some of the monks, he went to get some peace of mind and understanding before he went in. After his visit, the head monk actually gave an interview and spoke about everything RM told him. It really hurt RM. He trusted the monk, and he went straight to a reporter and them everything, for money and prestige that he spoke to RM. Let's just say it didn't turn out to be well for the monk.
This post is already long enuf, but I could keep telling you more stories about these saesangs. All I hope is that these idols get better protection from their companies. They won't, but I can still hope. There are ppl within these companies that are selling personal info about these idols to saesangs and reporters for money. It's disgusting.
I will stop now, but I hope this post gave you a better understanding of what some of these idols go through. It sucks that they can't be treated as normal ppl, but these so-called fans put them up these impossibility high pedestals, and they can never come down. And it's not right.
I miss them 😢
Thank you so much for reacting to this video💜💜💜💜so.so.so happy rn😍😍😍😍😍
About thepiracy stuff, boy we are millions of armys and you know more or almost half of the world is poor. And have army for all the places, and sometimes we just live far away of the City and maincity, for say a lot of armys are too from the countryside, I was when I meet them, and even right now I live at the City is not a main City and have armys here but is not part of the general culture, so even to come on of they stuff for the cine is difficult. Let's not talk about albums because, yeah you know, is my dream. About concerts is something that I even can dream About.
Jin joined the military 2022 he comes out next month 12 June, J-Hope comes out october this year and the 5 members that join 2023 comes out 2025 june
Subscribed. Period
I appreciate you!

John Sena is ARMY and J-hope bias
I don't live in South Korea and I know Busan is promoted for international tourism; FYI the country is a peninsula so is full of beaches like Busan and tourist cities, everywhere.
I'm quite sure they got the means, already.
I live in a small country full of tourist places too but there are only a couple internationally promoted, those have the best budgets, of course.
Thank you for letting me know!
i enjoy your reaction/
I love your enthusiasm! You are falling down the rabbit hole for sure!!! Dont turn off your mike, if you do its not a true reaction!!!💜💜💜
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
She doesn't mention MJ because she is comparing boy bands fandom... With love from Spain
Ohhhh I see. I was just confused because she said Justin Bieber lol thank you for watching! I appreciate you!
Pls react to bts vs attendance awards from boracity too💜
These rules go for all ARMY, not just from S.Korea, which is another reason you're just discovering them. I was at SoFi!
Busan is the home of Jimin and Jungkook. BTS and Hybe took care of everything. This is the problem with the American mentality. The first thought is always about greed and selfishness. Wake up pay attention.
2nd time
RM dropped his new album 'Right Place, Wrong Person' today!! It would be nice if you can give it a listen. His title song is 'Lost!' has an MV as well as his pre- released track 'Come Back To Me'. Thank you!!
Video will be up Tuesday 😎. Thank you for the recommendation!
@@naniluv1_live omggg, thank you! i just know you will love it. looking forward to your reaction.
Please react to "Army is karma"
Will you please stop screaming or turn your Mike off if you’re going to it’s really annoying and its making me not want to watch!
I’ve seen you on a couple of my videos saying this. It’s okay to just not watch my videos. I’m 1000% sure there’s many reactors who fit your style more, go watch them por favor 🙏🏾
@@naniluv1_live ignore them some people just like to hate
@shelliblossom8953 on a video heavily talking about not hating & being positive lol
Is that really all you could think to comment on a video about positive and helpful habits of a fandom?😂
I like your screaming! I'd do the same! Continue please. 58 yr old Army here from New Zealand. I just found your channel, and subscribed!
