Explained: Why are BTS fans called the ARMY?
|
Whether you’re a new BTS fan or have been one for a long time, you'd know that the K-pop band's fans like to call themselves ARMY. Here in this article, let's try to understand what ARMY means and why BTS gave their fans such an interesting name. As fans know, ARMY was established as BTS’ fandom name in 2013. This happened almost instantly after the release of the band’s first single “2 Cool 4 Skool.” The word ARMY is an acronym for “Adorable Representative MC For Youth”, but there are other meanings to it too. ARMY is the military while BTS is the armour, which is a metaphor for how the K-pop band and its fans stick together. trending now) India: Three women defy patriarchy, become temple priests) IND vs SL Asia Cup 2023 final: Head-to-head record of India vs Sri Lanka, pitch report, weather update) Russia’s defence min shows bombers and missiles to Kim during last leg of trip) Cash-strapped Pakistan smashes records to raise petrol prices above Rs330/litre) Hasan Minhaj admits fabricating details in comedy: Hyperbole, exaggeration, fiction) India: Encounter in Kashmir’s Anantnag enters fourth day, 1 terrorist gunned down in Baramulla) Macron says French ambassador to Niger 'literally' being held hostage) Hundreds of women sexually exploited by UN staff struggling to raise children) Watch: Bad Bunny, Gael García Bernal share a passionate Kiss in Cassandro; film out on THIS date) Mexican drug lord El Chapo's son Ovidio Guzman extradited to US) Mahsa Amini: US issues sanctions on Iran, hails protesters a year after her death) Hugh Jackman and wife split after 27 years of marriage) Batman Day 2023: What keeps the Dark Knight shining bright after 84 years?)

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.” recommended stories) India procures monoclonal antibodies from Australia to battle deadly Nipah virus) Ukrainian cities Kyiv, Lviv on UNESCO's list of heritage 'in danger') Batman Day 2023: Cartoon Network to air Batman The Animated series in India) Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi secures highest approval rating among global leaders) Data from Chandrayaan-1 indicates electrons from Earth form water on Moon) Scientists finally figure out mystery behind flashes of light being observed on Venus) Margot Robbie joins SAG-AFTRA protest rally, earns praises from fans) United Airlines flight to Rome plunges 28,000 feet in 10 minutes, goes back to Newark.
