BTS FANDOM:ARMY

ARMY or "Adorable representative MC for youth" is BTS group fanbase that was formed in 2013. ARMY is the military while BTS is the armour, which is a metaphor for how the K-pop band and its fans stick together. As per the famous website USBTSARMY.com, the fandom name “ARMY” also has to do with the meaning of BTS’ full name, “Bangtan Sonyeondan,” which translates to “Bulletproof Boyscouts” in English.

ARMY, however, wasn’t the first choice for BTS’ fandom name. In an interview on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon in July 2021, BTS’ rapper RM revealed that their fandom was almost named “The Bells". BTS's other six members are - Jin, J-Hope, Suga, Jimin, V, and Jungkook.

RM also said, “When you say BTS, it stands for ‘bangtan’ in Korean, not ‘behind-the scenes.’ I mean, for your information, It stands for ‘bangtan,’ and when you say ‘bell’ in Korean, it sounds like ‘bang wool.’ It starts with the same word, ‘bang’. So when we think of the fan name, someone brings up the idea, like, ‘What about the bell thing?’ Everybody rings their bells and [we’re] like, ‘Make some noise!’ and the bells are like ‘ring-a-ling-a-ling.’ But thank God that [it changed], ARMY is so much better.”
