- Hey ARMY fam! Welcome back to my channel! Today's video is going to be something a little different and super exciting. We've got a special treat for all the BTS fans out there, especially those who follow BTS in there later years
In this reaction video, I'll be watching and discussing a thought-provoking video about the legendary "Silver ARMY," a term that honors the older fanbase of our beloved BTS. As a dedicated ARMY myself, I'm thrilled to explore the emotions and feelings of what its like to be an older BTS fan
As we all know, BTS has achieved monumental success and has a massive global fanbase. But it's essential to recognize and appreciate those who have been there from the very beginning, cheering them on through thick and thin. The Silver ARMY represents a diverse group of fans who have a deeper connection with the boys in there more mature years. Their passion and love for the boys have only grown stronger with time.

Loved this video! I’m one of the Titas of the Philippines (41🤘🏼) 🇵🇭💜 Aside from Tita meaning Auntie, in our culture Tita is also used as an honorific or a title of respect for women (Tito for men) who is much older than you but are not necessarily related; like friends of your parents or your friend’s parents. I’m relatively a new ARMY and I’m glad that there are communities IRL and online that have active older ARMYs. Borahae from Manila! 💜
YES! I LOVE THE TITAS😄💜
That's one of the points that I love the most from this video is that there are so many people from all different walks of life. And they can find a home anywhere within ARMY and BTS
@@MasterGo89 I totally agree! Home is BTS & ARMY. Sending hugs to everyone today especially those who have Suga as their bias! 💜
Yes... I got the word that it's time. He's walked through the door onto the next chapter of his life
@@MasterGo89 And ARMYs will be here when they come back in 2025. Until then, there’s so much content to catch up on and I’m looking forward to your next videos. 💜
Oh LAWD is there ever! Haha Tha k you so very much! I can't wait for the next one!
my daughter is 30 years old, but now I have 7 more sons. I'm so proud of them. Beloved son Jimin.🥰💗💗💗
Hello! 63 yr old Army here!! They found me in 2018 and I have had so much healing from them. I face criticism everyday for being a fan of these 7 beautiful and intelligent human beings. People will criticize them and yet have not listened to one single song. They think I am too old to love a Korean “boy band” I will defend them and myself till my last breath.
Thank you for your love of BTS.

Thank you for being such a strong individual! I LOVE that you are never afraid of what people think! These are there issues and you are out here living your best life! Such an inspiration! Good for you! BORAHAE!💜💜💜
45 yr old Army! My mom (68 yr old Army) and I actually had a great experience with younger Army. We went to see Suga's D-day live in Japan at our local movie theater. My mother is in a wheelchair, so we were sitting near the front to ourselves. The next thing we knew, 2 young girls asked us if we wanted a little pouch with candy and BTS photo cards. It was so sweet! Then we had many more younger Army approach us with handmade keychains, photocards, stickers, etc, that they thoughtfully brought to all attendees. The fact that they made sure we felt included made the concert experience even better.
Hi. The "rejection" of the Silver Army does not always happen. I am a 32 years ARMY, and I can say that the vast majority of the hundreds and hundreds of comments I read on BTS's "Silver ARMY" videos are welcomed and supported by young ARMYs. They rejoice and motivate them, the opposite cases I think are the exceptions.
In fact, some 70-year-old ARMYs who went to a concert were applauded by the young ARMYs. One of my aunts is 65 years old and has been an ARMY for 3 years. Very proud and is not afraid to say it. She has bought several CDs and keychains . Their songs and way of being have helped her a lot to love life more.
Well this I am very glad to hear! I guess these would be the exception then. I am glad to hear that! I know personally I'm in the rejoice group myself! I love knowing that so many different types of people can enjoy just as I do! 💜💜💜
I just hope to go to a BTS event to meet everyone!
I am 42, also studied psychology, and I am a social worker/case worker who works with homeless adults and families with mental health issues; I found that BTS is a great group to introduce to my clients and bond over. BTS has helped me get closer to my clients and build a trusting relationship as I work with them, and we together listen and break down their songs and positively apply them to our daily life. 🥰💜
I'm 18. I went to Suga's D-DAY documentary in the cinema about a month ago and it was so heartwarming to see not only people my age or younger, but especially silver ARMYs. It just warms my heart so much, how one music group can bring together so many different people. As ARMYs, no matter what age, abillities, looks and race we should give each other the same respect, friendliness and be each other's comfort space just like BTS taught us. After all we all have a story about how these guys helped us in many different ways (from simply bringing happiness to our lives to literally saving lives) and I love reading every single story of ARMYs♡
So warming, thank you from a 49 years young lady. So well put, an ARMY that it does definitely understand BTS message. Borahae
That was V dancing in a jazz club in Las Vegas during the weeks they were performing PTD concerts.
I found Uncle Harley through his nephew Max (a communication coach). Harley is a recent member of my Silver ARMY Facebook group.
I found BTS right before the Pandemic hit. I found the Silver ARMY group when the founder of the group responded to my comment on a TH-cam video, and it started a whole conversation. Through her, I attended (on-line due to the pandemic) an annual BTS Global Interdiscipline Conference where I meet other Silver ARMY and made connections that helped me through the darkest months of 2020. (I live alone, high-risk, my two children were essential workers so did not visit in person.). I have met up with some of these ARMYs IRL.
That's amazing! I'm going to have to check out Max! I'm glad that he found his way onto my recommendations!
Haha V looked like he was right at home! I loved that clip! That jazz club looks like kind of place!
I'm so glad you were able to find so many amazing people in your journey! And now you are also here! We are all family! 💜💜💜
Yeah, you really should check out Max's reactions, he is amazing, this guy is his uncle 💜💜
I found this comment on twitter. It`s what someone said to her ARMY friend.
"I can see why you fight for BTS so much. It`s because they made you fight for yourself"
And I will add
"We love BTS so much because they helped us to love ourselves"
I am a 56 yrs old ARMY from Germany, Army since Jan 2019 and I love this 7 young men with my whole heart and will forever! Borahae 💜
At first my family made jokes about me being ARMY, but after 6 years of devotion they now understand the happiness and joy that BTS bring into my life. I don’t get tins of biscuits and nighties for Xmas anymore l get BTS merch. It is wonderful.
I'm glad your family came to understand! I'm so glad to hear it!💜💜💜
Oh yes! Love that! I’m getting merch too!
aww that´s great it warms my heart😊
Me too, every birthday I have so many beautiful BTS items. Goodbye meaningless gifts. 😂
Silver Army here 65 year young. Found BTS during start of Covid. I have no idea how “Life Goes On” popped up on my TH-cam but it was such a huge blessing! I had just been diagnosed w Stage 4 terminal cancer. Initially I had rejected treatment bc there is no cure for the rare genetic cancer I have and it might buy me time. After watching the video of life goes on I decided with my family to go for it. I can’t explain the feeling of hope BTS gave me. We’ll that was January 2, 2022 and I’m coming up to my 4 year anniversary. Granted, most make it 2-5 yrs with a max of 11 years but I’m going for 11+. I’m stable right now and every day is a gift. Thank you BTS for giving me a Reason To Believe! I wouldn’t have made it this far without them and the kind people I’ve met through them.
Hi dear 68yo Army here. Many of us know Dr. Harley as Uncle Harley from his nephew Max's youtube channel...but anyway...RM calls us "Dope old people". He gets us.
Oh I didn't realize that! Well Uncle Harley makes some great videos! I really enjoyed this!
@@MasterGo89 💜
52yo ARMY, here. First time hearing about Uncle Harley, but I am definitely going to be watching more of his content. I love being a Dope Old Person. And I am so glad you are here, @kerrinholder5702.
@@Sh4peofmyheart 💜
Yep, I'm subscribed to both. 😊👍
I am silver army, and I have a masters degree in clinical psychology. I was in a psychology doctorate program, but I needed to stop at my masters to take care of my kids (which I have no regrets about).
I really enjoyed watching this video.
Hi, I'm a 54 year old ARMY from New Zealand 🇳🇿. And I've found a supportive community, around the world, of fellow ARMY - both older, my age, and younger. And their support was envaluble last year, when my health was really giving me a hard time. And I really don't know how to thank them for their love and support (I have thanked them, but it never feels like enough). 💜
As others have said, Tae is an old soul. Finding him grooving at a jazz club, with more mature patrons, seems perfectly natural to me. Tae... often seems like he was born in the wrong era - and I can definitely relate to that. It's one of the reasons he's part of my Bias Line (Yoongi is in the center 😻, with Tae to his right 🥰, and Jimin to his left😍).💜💜💜
Also, if you enjoyed Dr Harley's video, you should check out his nephew Max Beaumont's channel. He is a communication coach, and has some really interesting BTS videos.💜
Thank you so much! I will be sure to check max out!
What a great way to say this though. It's like he's a time traveler! He just looked so natural in the club there. I was shocked! Haha
I love watching Max's vids..and ofc uncle Harley is adorable 🤭
I’m a Silver Army as well. I really enjoyed this reaction and thank you for introducing Dr Harley to me. His points were spot on. When I first discovered BTS and started watching YT videos, I saw early on that there were ‘older’ fans out there, from Comments, stating their ages and proud of being an ARMY. I realized right away that I wasn’t alone and that it is okay to be fangirling at my age. Why not? BTS brings us happiness. I already follow his nephew, Max Beaumont, and had no idea that Max’s uncle started a YT channel. MasterGo, I love how you find this so interesting too.
Hello silver ARMY!It's an honor to have you watching my videos! Thank you for enjoying what I have to put out there. I really do enjoy all aspects of this world and you know I feel sad in some cases.. I never get to explore these kinda things with my own family. So now I can with all of you! And THAT makes me very happy! 💜💜💜
As I am new to all of this I do have to say that I'm learning alot and I can learn so much from silver army's! Thank you for being here and being you! 💜💜💜💜
Thank you for this reaction and thank you for welcoming me into your world as an 65yr young Army. Watching your content and lives give me a lot of joy! And to all Armys hugs and love to you bora hae
It's always so fun seeing you in chats and comment sections. I will ALWAYS be so happy to hear from you! *I PURPLE YOU* 💜💜💜💜
I'm 56 and I experienced young Army approaches to me to give me BTS photo cards when I went to watch BTS concert at the Cinema... I felt so special being acknowledged by a young BTS Army 😊💜💜💜💜
THATS what I love to hear!.
I'm sure insensitive situations that the lady in the video went though was a bad actor situation. But I'm sure it still hurt, and honestly it's just a nice reminder to be kind but also that we have such an amazing community of silver Army doing there thing! And I'm there for it! 💜💜💜💜
The same happened to me & my friend! Two silver Armys surrounded by young Armys at the cinema and some of them came to us with beautiful hand made purple presents and said to us: we are happy that you will be enjoying the movie with us! Borahae!
Oh lord....We felt so welcome!
I am a 66 yr old female from middle America. addicted to bts...jin is my bias. been here 3 yrs
I’m all but 44 and am obsessed with BTS and everything they stand for! My daughter showed me them in 2015 but I just thought they were another boy band and I never really heard her listening to them so during the pandemic I stumbled upon ON kinetic manifesto and the lyrics I love so it sent me on the journey of learning absolutely everything I could about them and their music! My daughter and I have always been extremely close but I’ve turned her army and BTS has brought us even closer. I love BTS and Army!!
Thank you for giving attention to Silver Army 😊 we really appreciate it 🙏
I'm 56 my daughter introduced me to BTS... and it really helped me with my depression with their beautiful songs 😍😍😍😍
How could I not! 💜💜💜 you guys are special as well! I can learn so much in life and BTS with the Silver Army! It brings me so much joy knowing that silver Army find comfort and happiness in BTS and ARMY 💜💜💜
This is why I love BTS! They’re not only talented but also heal us from loneliness 😊
BTS is the cure for everyone and everything.
A BTS a day keeps the doctor away!
I was once stopped on the streets by an elder gentleman who had noticed my Koya and RJ (RM's and Jin's BT21 characters) plush keyrings on my backpack. Turned out he was a Silver ARMY and we shook hands and talked for a while about BTS, and at the end of our conversation we exchanged phone numbers. That was about 2 years ago now, and we have become good friends, despite our age difference (I'm 34, he's 76), and we often meet for some coffee to talk about what's new with BTS.
Oh I love that! I bet that he really enjoys those conversations and meet ups!
It always makes me happy hearing this. We are out here looking after one another and sharing common interests! 💜💜💜
I'm 45 from Korea and have been an ARMY ever since their first debut.
AN OG! Welcome to my channel! I hope you enjoyed my video!
Hello from Singapore! I'm 34 and my mom is 61. We are both huge fans of BTS and are part of the ARMY community! :)💜 Our house is full of BTS merchandise everywhere and BTS is what me and my mom talk and bond about everyday.😁
I love that! Your family bond must be so strong! And hey! We are the same age! 34 is a great year!
Keep that bond strong! Family is everything! 💜💜💜
@@MasterGo89 Thank you! Indeed! And you keep doing you and continue to react to BTS! The bond between BTS & ARMY is just indescribable. Cried buckets during Suga (Yoongi's) Last Day of his D-Day Final Concert Tour yesterday and we received news that he is the next one to head into the military! Feeling really sad but We are definitely counting down to 2025 to have all 7 of them back.
I’m 73 and have been following BTS since 2019, just at the onset of COVID. During those times in seclusion during the pandemic and recovering from heart surgery, BTS’ music and TH-cam videos entertained and inspired me… most of all, their journey and goodness kept me hopeful. I attended their Permission to Dance concerts in LA and Las Vegas, and look forward to their concert in 2025. My 98 yr old mother watched BTS videos every day and called them, “my boys”. My life would not be the same level of happiness nor as full without them. Bless each of them and keep them safe as they fulfill their military service. Looking for a Silver ARMY community to join in the LA area.
Great video as always! I really enjoyed it! Silver/older army, WE LOVE YOU💜💜 Wish I could hug them all!
There has indeed been a problem with younger ARMYs bullying older ARMYs, especially on "the former bird app", but I've noticed a shift over my three ARMY years where now it's become significantly less frequent and when it happens younger ARMYs are very quick to correct the behaviour of the bully because that's not what BTS or ARMY are about.
This is only something like the second TH-cam video Uncle Harley has ever made so I think he did quite well. I think he was intrigued by BTS and ARMY from the moment his family introduced him to us. And yes, it is a very unusual parasocial relationship so as mental health professionals I think he and his nephew Max find it all extra fascinating.
💜
I'm from the Philippines and a lot of my army friends are Titas.. I love talking to them because they are so matured and help me understand certain things within the fandom sometimes..
Hi, I’m 44. Thank you for reacting to this video. I have to say I absolutely love seeing new armys just embracing and loving the boys. I have been very lucky to have seen them in person, it’s a unbelievable experience to be in a place filled with so much love. Army is powerful at any age 😊
I agree and thank you so much for checking out my video! Im honestly loving my journey so far! Im 4 months in and I have learned so much from BTS and ARMY! I cant wait to see where this road takes me !💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you, 54 yr Silver ARMY. BTS music has helped me deal with the unexpected loss of my son and being a caregiver to my terminally ill husband.
Im so sorry for your loss...Im so glad that there is something in this world that can help you manage the struggels of everyday life! Just know that you also have us here with you! We care about you and I have to tell you that you are SO STRONG! You are honestly a hero! Kepp up the amazing work! We PURPLE YOU💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Hi!I'm 38 year old army and I have found other silver army's that they are like sisters to me.We watched Suga's two last concerts and cried.We spend 3 days together.I feel blessed and happy after so long.I purple you 💜
I purple you as well! 💜💜💜
That's fantastic! Friendships are created and people can get together like old friends I LOVE THAT!!!!
I am a 54 year-old ARMY, I adore BTS and appreciate their music, positivity and messaging. I am from New Zealand, currently based in Australia. My experience of younger ARMY has always been really positive, conversations in take-away stores, clothing stores, at the movies and while generally out-and-about have always been based on a shared respect for BTS and each other. I truly believe that a love of good music and shared beliefs can transcend boundaries such as age and geography.
Yeah, I really like Dr. Harvey too. His nephew is also on youtube and is a communication expert and is all the time reviewing and analyzing the relationships of the member via their communication styles and what they say etc and he had "Uncle Harley" on as a guest on his channel and people really enjoyed it so after multiple "guest appearances" Uncle Harley set up a page of his own to address psychological aspects of the group and fandom. He's a cute lil' dude...I like him too. BTW, I'm a 52 year old ARMY 😉. I was introduced to the group initially (about 4-5 years ago) by my daughter (now 15). At the time I was hearing BTS BTS BTS from her and had to check them out to make sure my young daughter wasn't watching anything that she shouldn't be lol and much to my delight they were the most amazing, positive role models I could have asked for. She and I were able to bond over BTS and their content and music and even were able to attend their recent concert (in LA after the pandemic and concerts FINALLY were able to resume). As her musical tastes change she has migrated to other groups (NCT, New Jeans, Stray Kids and many more...all of which I also adore) so she's not as invested in BTS as she once was but I remain and will always remain an ARMY to the core. I feel like I've watched these boys grow up before my eyes and I feel a genuine affection for each of them, like they're my kids or something...crazy I know (but they're not much different aged than my son who's 23, so maybe understandable.). Anyway, I don't know at what age an ARMY is considered a silver ARMY but I feel like BTS and my new found "obsession" with k-pop keeps me young at heart , gives me joy, and keeps me relevant to my kids and that's enough for me. Thanks for watching this, it was nice seeing others like myself considered "not the usual demographic" and how it has also impacted their lives.
I'm a 54 yr old Army, I have been for almost 8yrs. I found them at a time in my life dealing with a lot of medical issues physical and mental. I am disabled and suffer being bi polar. BTS changed me, brought so much joy to my life, when I had very little at the time. My now 21 yr old son just didn't get it After so many yrs he does and loves how they have changed me. He isn't into them though he likes Suga and RM's Joke ( how could you not).
He had seen the change in me and he appreciates it.
I have a lot of physical issues as well, but I take my happy ass all the way to Chicago for concerts every year they had a concert since the Wings tour, I go all by myself with my walker 😂. I make a whole weekend out of it. Nothing could keep me away. The love and respect I have for them is endless. I listen and watch them everyday for 8yrs now. I will be doing it I'm sure till the day I die. I can't wait till they tour again. I pray I will be able to get tickets, (man it's stressful ticket days) it has always worked out so far.
My whole family though it was just a temporary thing, and find it fascinating and see how it has changed my soul for the better. I don't care what anyone thinks they can F off if they think it's stupid. They are love light happiness and just amazing people. I feel bad for people who don't get it. They are missing out on life changing experiences with them.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing this! I’m 55 years young and been an enthusiastic Army for 6 years. I found BTS through my teenage daughter and just as mentioned it’s been most valuable to share together. We went from Sweden to attend their concert in Amsterdam 2018 and I wasn’t ashamed a bit! Standing in line for hours with all happy Armys and then jumping and dancing for several hours. (They played MVs for a couple of hours before getting on stage.) Singing along in "homemade korean"... 😄The best concert I ever been to! First class entertainers. 🤩
Sometimes I think that people who are surprised about the span in age groups don‘t know that many songs... the discography contains 200-300 songs! A real treasure to explore and a wide range of type of music. And if you were young during the 80’s you "grew up" on pop, hip-pop, R&B and so on. Why wouldn’t we like BTS. Adding on their message and fantastic personalities, you can’t resist them! (Not being native speaking English, you’re also quite used to listening to different languages.) 🥰
I’m a month away from my 70th year on Earth. I am happier with BTS
Just turned 71 myself, and what you say...that says it all. They make me happy -- I feel so proud of the boys, almost as if they were my grandsons. I love their music and their gentle and loving personalities. What great role models they are for their generation!
I watched Uncle Harley too introduced by his nephew Max..Tae is an old soul man 😊 that's why he loves jazz so much
I feel this! I'm in live with jazz myself 💜
@@MasterGo89 V voice is like a therapist it heals so soothing and calm...I remember a baby used to listen to his song every time he went to sleep
I believe it! It's very unique 💜💜💜
Hi MasterGo! I have been really enjoying your journey down this BTS rabbit hole. I am a 54 yr old ARMY from just outside of St. Louis MO and as a 'Silver Army' I can say that BTS has really made me happy in the almost 3 yrs I have been apart of this wonderful fandom. Before BTS I was a life long rock music fan and I was just getting so sick of hearing the same songs I had been listening to for all of my life. Western music just wasn't cutting it either. I stumbled upon some Japanese rap songs and then before I knew it, TH-cam was giving me BTS suggestions. I finally gave them a chance and the rest is history! No other artists in the world today, Kpop or any others, bring me the joy that BTS does. Looking forward to more of your reactions! Have a great week. 💜
Im 41, BTS is my source of joy my happy feel, my street reliver, and i love BTS so so much🥰 my apo sa pamankin 11 months my pamankin 32 my sister 53 my and my mother 66 lht sila love ang BTS,💜💜💜
Excellent video, MG. As a member of the Silver ARMY demographic, I have heard so much, either from Muggles (non ARMYs), who just don't/won't understand, or from younger (usually under 25) ARMYs, who seem to suffer from the delusional belief that their approval is necessary to my continued support of the Tannies. Obviously, it's not. I won't bore you with details of that conversation.
Anyway, just wanted to tell you that this is another absolutely incredible video. I'm having a lot of feelings, rn (beginning to have a Pavlovian response to weverse notifs, where I flinch and die a little inside, every time), but I want to congratulate you on being so consistently enjoyable. Borahae! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
V is a fan of Jazz and he's recently just done 2 jazz covers. eg' It's looking a lot like Christmas', and 'Cheek To Cheek' by the late great Irvine Berlin.
I'm 41. My mom always thought it was a faze (I've been a general k pop fan for over 10 years). She attributes it to immaturity and thinks I'm mentally ill. But she was always the type of mother to put shame on me as a child and responsibility that should have not been mine. It reflects her own immaturity so I just ignore her largely. She never dealt with her shitty trauma of her upbringing and so she is the parent that thinks because something was hard for her, it should be at least that hard for me if not more so. As a person with visual impairment she is also ablest. Nothing is ever her fault or responsibility. BTS has helped me work through this hurt and trauma though. I would not have the perspective I have if not for their music and influence.
I'm so glad! The pain of family is real also. I relate to you so much on other levels of family.
But the family's we create become stronger than blood! We bleed purple in this family💜💜💜💜
I just watched this day before yesterday! Loved it! 💜
It was very well done hey? Good for him! I love finding these quick videos to check out and learn from. Silver ARMYS should be heard! 💜💜💜
Master, tbh your channel is the only one I've encountered so far that went and posted about our Silver, Titas, Tito and older ARMIES... My love for this channel is growing with every video 💜
63 years and BTS army ot7 love them 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🇳🇱😘😘🌷
UGH! Big Hit just informed us that SUGA will move forward with his military enlistment. I know we all expected something soon, but I thought it would be RM. 😪💜
I am processing everything I'm feeling, rn. 😢
"I want to take a moment to appreciate Dr. Harley for this video, and to appreciate all the Silver ARMYs out there... I feel happy to know I'm sharing interests with more "life experienced" people.."
I wrote this comment on Dr. Harley video on the day I saw it almost 2 weeks ago.. Because I really do appreciate them.. If I able to meet them, I would love to interact with them, talking or just doing anything to hang out with them.. Or probably want to talking about everything in life..
I truly loved this video I was almost all smiles because it verified that I’m not too old to appreciate BTS. Thank you💜💜💜💜
From what Ive seen in the ARMY community is that you are never to young or to old to love BTS! Im so glad that you enjoyed! I hope you have a wonderful week! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I am 49 and being honest I didn't really feel judge by younger ARMYs, quite the opposite, in fact in both concerts I have been to, I felt protected, accepted and appreciated.
My biggest dissapointment were my non ARMY friends and people around me, even straight forward telling me we are a cult, or asking me if I can't listen something else than BTS (although I used to listen so many other artist with that person) or if even my ringtone has to be a BTS song. It is crazy the things I had to hear.
So I used to hide my passion from people. But you know what, when I am alone, those people can't even give me a bit of them time, they are busy with them life, when I face hardships, those people just say "sorry" but are not there for me. In the long days of winter in London I seat on my sofa, I look around and there is just silence and emptiness.
Well, not anymore, now I celebrate my happiness with BTS, I cry my sad days with BTS, and I endure my hardships next to BTS. They taught me that when you think you can't handle anymore, you just have to keep going or sleep it over, that tomorrow is a brand new day. And it may not be tomorrow and you may have to wait couple of days, but eventually everything will be restore to a bearable degree.
BTS taught me that you need to follow your dreams, no matter if the result will be reach. So the 43 year old me fought by them side to pursue my dream of being a mother, I endured surgery, I healthy lost 17 kilos just to have 1 chance, my 87kilos self spinned my bike 7 days a week during 2 hour and 4 hours of other exercises on weekends. When I couldn't ride that bike 1 more minute, I switched them music for a video of them physical exhaustion hardships and I kept going. I didn't get to be a mum, but for a year I was the most happy person in the world. It was physical and mentally exhausting but it didn't matter because that was my dream and I didn't even know that at my age I was allowed to dream that big anymore.
Now I don't hide anymore, my whole room is wrapped with BTS posters, albums, merch ... you name it, and I show it proud. Because I understood that this is what being an ARMY is about: know yourself, accept who you are, love yourself, speak yourself. Borahae ARMY thank you for so much.

Ahhh bless her. I bet the girls were so suprised, and maybe shy as she wasn't someone they knew. As someone who's degree is in Psychology I don't completely agree with him that that's always how people see things. I know many younger people are taught not to talk to people they don't know. So suddenly an older person trying to engage you in conversation might not sit right with a younger person. It would very much depend on their age and how 'Safe' they felt. Safe Zone's are important. I wouldn't want someone I didn't know come up to my 13year old niece and try to engage her in conversation if she were alone or even with her girl friends. It's an 'ifffy' situation.
Titas means, aunties in the Philippines ❤
I LOVE THE AUNTIES! TITAS!!!!🤣💜💜💜💜💜
I've been there since day one 8 years ago and I'm 36 not quite a silver army 💜 but yeah
My daughter introduced me too them and I haven't been more grateful for it 😊
I’m only 26 (jungkook and I are both 97 babies lol) but I faced a lot of inner turmoil about growing older and not being welcome in fandoms because I’m not a young one anymore. There’s this societal concept that you have to let go of your fandom hobbies once you reach a certain age because it’s “immature” and it was something that really scared me. Seeing not only the elder ARMY be so open about their love for BTS while also being kindly still accepted by the rest of the fan base really really help me mentally.
That's fantastic! It is a hard thing to deal with!
You know I feel the same way driving myself into a store that sells Bts. I'm wildly out of place.. BUT that's it. It's just a mindset, if you look past the social construct, then you can finally just enjoy what you love.
One thing BTS has been teaching me is be my true self.
My true self is I DONT GIVE A F. WHAT YOU THINK OF ME :D I'm very happy to have that mentality back!
Hi I don't know if you know it or not but the door that Yoongi didn't open at the end of amygdala mv he finally opened them on the last day of his concert so he's finally free
34 yrs. old in Canada - HIGH FIVE, dude!!! ✋
AYYYY SAME AGE lets gooooo! To think it was all about the spice girls and Pokemon back in the day haha! 💜💜
@@MasterGo89 I still occasionally play spice girls' while driving, and still carry Pokemon game app on my phone. 🫣 am sorry ! They're classics!!
I know hey!? I will never NOT listen or stop playing. I grew up in a time where I didnt have much money for cards.. I treasured the ones I had..and I remember this girl I grew up with and she would listen to spice girls every day and she actaully gave me my first few cards. haha Unlocking Core memories in the BTS World over here ahhah
@@MasterGo89 good for you! I never had it, my mom thinks those are useless crap card 🥺 well, that's the thing about BTS! Connecting people! From RM's words "no matter who you are, ur skin color, or gender identity" 🤝
Nway, I enjoy your reactions 💜 keep going! there's still a long road ahead!
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
❤ Dr. Harley
Love Dr. Harley 😊 He's great
The part that the younger fans ran away. They were K-pop fans/multies there to support BTS. They weren’t ARMY. A lot are new to kpop and are just grasping it’s culture. They are not aware of the sub groups in kpop. ARMY wouldn’t do that. We know us💜
I’m 63 and just ARMY!💜
That's wonderful! What was the first song that got you interested in the boys?
@@MasterGo89 , to be honest it was 4 years ago and it wasn’t a song. Festa 2021 came across my feed & I was mesmerized by “V”. It took quite a while to learn each one of them and to this day if I can’t keep up with them, I’ll change the speed to 75. I’ve watched every song, mv, behind the scenes, series, etc. I don’t know where the hell I was for the past years, but I made up for it. I don’t label any ARMY and don’t want labeled as “old, silver, gray, etc). Music is music and this group touches your soul regardless of…
“ANYTHING”!
I will admit however, I play all the music, but my bias is JIMIN!
Appreciate your reaction and response to seeing their work for the first time.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
@tdb471 that's wonderful! I fully understand all to well the speed issue ahaha it all goes by so fast!
That's the goal I'm trying to reach myself also. I want to be a BTS professional. I want to be ok knowing that what in talking about is proper information and If someone brings up a moment I want to be like... oh yes that's..blah blah blah hahah
I LOVE that. Labels are ok to an extent. But even myself I sometimes disregard the "baby ARMY" label. I'm just here on my journey learning and growing just like everyone else! 💜
Also thank you so much! I really do enjoy making these videos and will continue making them for you all 💜💜💜💜
Dr Harley just started his channel but he was began by doing some videos with his nephew Max Beaumont who does videos about communication etc and has done a bunch of BTS reactions. Those are cool too. I really like these two guys. 💜🫶🏻 I don’t want to call myself “silver” ARMY just yet, I’m 59 but my hair is blonde and not going grey in the slightest haha. Do you have to be middle aged or an actual senior to be silver ARMY? 🤔 I am now known for being ARMY by my family and my friends. I haven’t gotten anyone wide to go down the rabbit hole with me YET but I’m working on it. It just pains me that they don’t get it because it WOULD MAKE THEIR LIFE BETTER!! I’ve taken a few friends and my boyfriend to the movies at the theater or the steaming concerts and they enjoyed them but nothing much more than that 🤷🏼♀️ I’ll keep trying because the last 4.5 yrs with BTS have been a lifesaver, I love them so much just for the people they are!
I've actually been chatting with Dr Harley a bunch and his nephew Max they are honestly gems! I love chatting with them.
As for the age. It seems like 60+ would be silver Army but that's just a guess on my end.
I would say that the best way that I've found to enjoy BTS with others is to be super casual about it. Some people get it some people don't. But I think what most people think is that it's something that makes us happy :)
Oh yeah Dr. Harley. I think I know his nephew more, but he seems fun too ^___^
The Dr. is such a gem! Max and him are really good people to know!
#DopeOldPeople - We adopted that name when Namjoon said in a live stream that people in their 30s and 40s have gained wisdom and are dope old people. I'm 48 btw. Still waiting for that wisdom.
Amusingly, my daughter is not a BTS fan- she tolerates them for me... although she really liked D-Day! (I do get merch for birthdays and Christmas though!)
Dr Harley makes some good points but I do wish he had gone more in depth of the psychology of older Armies. There are hundreds of K-pop bands- why is BTS the only one that seems to speak to older people who do have life experience? Personally I think it is because they sing about uncommon topics- things that people of all ages relate to- they get very deep and that is appealing.
I know this guy, he started because his nephew does those kind of video about BTS, I watch them both. You should check his nephew out.
I will Max will have some views from me now!😄💜
Hallooo , een 52 Army from Suriname 🇸🇷💜💜, Borahae 😂, Netherlands is my first language 😁💜💜💜
Edit: A small country in South Amerika/Caribbean 💜💜💜
Hi @mastergo i know you want to know more about bts & army, the community... But also pls do react to all the bts mv and behind the scenes, dance practices etc etc, I can't wait for you to know about bts actual music and personalities
Love u, borahea 💜💜💜
Thank you for reactions. I just your reactions. My granddaughter found bts when she was about 15 years old. Her mom let her go to 2019 concert in chicago with a friend. But they keep teasing her. She keep showing me their new music. This christmas she spent a weekend and we watched Busan concert. And i started to see why she liked them I'm a 70 year old army. It has strengthen my bond with my granddaughter and it also brought joy back into my life. People make fun of my love of bts. I try to get more army
Some people just suck haha, as long as you are enjoying yourself and you deepen the bonds with your family through music, that's all that matters :)
I'm glad you enjoyed my video and check out some of my others! 💜✨️💜✨️💜✨️💜
Silver starts at 40?! 😢 I desperately need to meet some. I have a wonderful friend group of army from my state but they are all in their 20s & 30s. Luckily nobody has been ugly to me but maybe it’s bc I’m 182cm lol
I really like your reactions and that you learn from BTS and Army💜 I hope you can react to Jimin's solo work "FACE" is a great album. In it he talks about the difficulties he went through during the pandemic. Their title track "Like Crazy" was the first song by a Korean solo artist to debut at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Face contains 4 songs + 1 interlude and an English version of Like Crazy, it also has a hidden track that is on the CD called "letter". In this comment I leave a link to a very good video that can explain even more about the meaning of FACE. Thank you 💜
