Thank you so much for the support on this video! More coming VERY soon 💜
I just realized that ik you from Twitter i didnt know you were a youtuber lol
You deserve it Brian!!!
I love your work, thank you for showing that be an army is one of the best decisions of my life
Oh I follow you on Twitter. Didn't know you had this channel! Thank you for getting to know our boys💜
@@dana-gt7mj that was my reaction too💜
BTS is ICON of our generation not just an Asian idol group.
Say it louder than bomb
Are you really David Yang??
You are so true.
Absolutely!!
Korean idols group are great.
Oh how much i wish that people would know that BTS is more than Just a boyband who sings, they are true artists who heals billions of people
Not only millions, but also the whole world
I agree💜
My co-workers think that I only like them because they're cute....yeah. Their cute faces is what makes me laugh and I listen to their cute faces on spotify....
MISTY GLOW yes
Linda Vel My husband doesn’t get it. He says I’m acting like a child at 52 when I feel happy when they accomplish another amazing milestone. Oh well, his loss. 🤷🏻♀️ Your co-workers loss too. Closed minds never get to see the beautiful things in life because they have their blinders on. Enjoy life! There’s so much to love in life! You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink.
Our fandom is an amazingly diverse group of individuals, lawyers, doctors, educators, stay at home moms, to fathers of young adults, and yes also young teenagers, but all of us love them for their message and music, that bring us hope, love, and joy. thank you for spotlighting all sides of our fandom. purple you.
I am a doctor..
I agree! I am a 52 yr psychologist! Love BTS! I reference them often in presentations or in sessions with students or clients!
I'm a 20 yo university student who has been with BTS since 2015. I grew up with them, made my dream come true thanks to them and slowly matured with them. I count them as a part of my identity, because they helped to shape the way I perceive the world and the way I see myself.
I am a system engineer and a proud army😊
💜
finding BTS is like walking into a house and knowing you're home
That's why my favorite song from BTS is "Home"
They really feel like home 🥺
@@oki_elli7523 Amen
@ya boi That's the exact vibe that I feel with that song
Wow yes for sure 😊
I'm not a fan, but "Spring day" is one of the most beautiful songs and MV I have ever listened to and watched
Thankyou🥺💜💜💜yes it is. We don't call her queen for nothing! I hope you check out more from BTS, because they do have a lot of variety in music, but thankyou for saying this positive comment about them, even if you're not a fan💜
Exactly. Truly understand u
Before i became a fan this is how i felt❤️❤️❤️
thank you! Spring day made me a fan, can't believe i'll ever be "FAN GIRL". unexpectedly i am now, because of that song and the whole story of bts, their music, the music references and all that stuff
It’s such a deep meaningful song that it just touches ur heart 💜
I can’t even begin to explain how BTS has helped me and affected me. No other group, artist, celebrity, has done this to me. I just automatically tear up to their songs. MVs. Speeches. Having fun and being silly. Being humble. Expressing gratitude. Even 10 second fan clips. Anything they do. It affects me. I can’t even explain. No one can truly understand. Only ARMY who found them thru the dark times can understand. And that’s what makes army so strong and loyal to the kings.
My only ONE regret is that I didn’t discover them sooner.
I am 46 - I work for a big corporation as a project manager. I’ve got 2 kids. (16 and 12) and I’ll be army til I die. Much love from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦
BTS FOREVER 💜💜💜💜
aww your story is so sweet 🥺 BTS has helped me so much too. They're the reason I'm alive so I'll forever be grateful to them 💜
euphxriav23 💜💜🥰🥰
💜💜
"only ARMYs who found them thru dark times can understand" indeed, that's when you really understand and connect with the feelings BTS put into their music and their messages. 💜💜💜
Many of us would regret that we didn't meet them earlier, which is true to me too. But my best comfort is that, at least I met them on the time I think I needed them most. And gave me a new family that I may not be too intimate with but will join and help each other through the ride of happiness and hardships. Ugh, borahae ARMYs, borahae BTS 🥺💜
rara 💯💯💯💯💜💜💜💜
two years ago I was terribly depressed .. my husband and I thought we would get divorced after 16 years of marriage ... and then I heard fake love ... after that I am army and my husband is army ... we did not divorce ... thanks to bts everything is fine with us .. we are army for always💜💜💜💜💜😊😊😍
06.09.2020 I'm shocked how many likes ... thanks to everyone who writes to me and to everyone who liked ... thanks💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍😊😊😭😭😭😍😍
oh wow! im happy for you both 💜
Time to have a second wedding with BTS songs!!!
Omg that's beautiful and congratulations. Our boys out here saving marriages, wow! I'm so happy you guys worked it out and now share a common love of BTS. Amazing!!!! 💜💜💜💜
Oh wow.. amazing.. in what way Fake Love is so impactful that it can change ur mind about the separation? (If i may ask, im sorry if that’s too personal 😅)
Oh my gosh, I am so happy for you! 💜💜 Thank you for sharing your story!
I'm an American woman, aged 58. BTS is the ONLY band I've ever thought of as "Worthy to inherit the Crown, established in 1964". Unfortunately my fellow fans from 1964 refuse to see that BTS have all it takes to go that same distance. I fully believe, long after I'm gone that the members of BTS will be composing, producing, and performing (although they may not be dancing much past middle age). And just like "That band from 1964", I expect to see two and three generations of ARMY enjoying BTS.
The pandemic failed to kill the enthusiasm for BTS, and I seriously doubt their upcoming military service will do their career any harm either. It may even increase their popularity the way being drafted helped Elvis to remain popular.
And, as for ARMY. I consider myself part of the rapidly growing "Gray ARMY". I purple you all.
I'm 52. Ditto. :)
55 ARMY 4 life🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷
Ok - us 50-something Gray Army (except, I’m not gray thanks to the miracle of hair dye...) need to get our own chat group. Y’all on good ol’ Facebook?
@@sarahpadbury I'm in a Facebook group, it's BTS Army for adults, 30+, one of our gals is 73! 💞🎶 Love for BTS has no age limit.
@@PiedPiper38 can you tell me the name of it?! I need to join!
I am 68 years old and understand exactly what he's saying. People should take the time to try and read and understand other cultures. I will never understand hate and bigotry. So many people sit in judgement of others without even trying to learn or understand. They spew hatred everywhere they go and try to bring down anyone who chooses to love instead. It makes you wonder how they formed their opinions? What drives them? Who hurt them to make them hate and hurt others? It makes you wonder whether or not they were just born that way...
I love BTS and everything they stand for. I discovered them in 2019 on the Billboard Awards. I had just lost my oldest brother in December to a massive stroke, I was in a 4 car accident right after that in Jan which left me with physical and psychological issues. Even though I have family, they have their own lives and some live in other states so they couldn't always be here for me. I am a loner but have always enjoyed life and being around people. After the car accident I found myself alone most of the time and trying to cope with one doctor appt after the other, including physical therapy. It took a toll on me and it felt like a dark cloud was hanging over my head. PTSD caused by the accident kept me at home, afraid to drive. Once I bought a new car to replace the one totalled in the accident it sat in the driveway for weeks at a time. Then the COVID thing and world issues hit this year just as I was getting better. First of all, let me acknowledge that my faith in God has gotten me thru all of my trials and tribulations; He alone has brought me through. I don't worship BTS or anyone other than God. Sometimes people come into our lives to help us get thru things; that is what happened for me with BTS. They were there on the TV screen at
the right time. The have become my extended family, comic relief, someone that I could relate to because of the hard times they faced. They introduced me to other countries, games, and art thru Bon Voyage episodes, Run BTS, American Hustle, BT21, and so much more. I check on them every day thru different media outlets just like they are my grand kids. They will never know me and I will never meet them or get to tell them how much they help me daily. They have helped me heal and they are helping me to live every day and persevere because they have persevered. I love their humility and how respectful they are. They are not perfect, they are simply young men who have grown up with each other and endured because they had dreams, they wanted to see a better world and make positive contributions. I pray that they never ever let negativity affect them ever again and that they understand that hate and negativity is not about them but about ignorance, fear and other peoples issues. I pray that they will continue to spread their positive message of self love because they have made a huge difference in my life and countless others lives. I will always love them dearly and support them sitting here in my living room. I wish nothing but the best for them always.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This is beautiful, heartwarming and inspiring 😍 take care always, ma'am and God bless 😘💜
@@imogen31 Oh my goodness, thank you so much my dear. I just love my boys so much! God bless you and stay safe.
Bless your heart. That's exactly how I feel about them. 💜
This makes me emotional. I feel the same way with our boys. I love everything about them. Their positive message are always impactful. Also their wonderful personalities just brighten up my day. My 6 yr old niece believe they're my sons because I constantly talk about them!🤭😊💜
I'm on tears right now. Beautiful words
I came across BTS when I was 37, had zero intention of paying them any mind. I didn't even fangirl over the boybands of my day so why start now? But this man is so correct when he says you won't understand until you experience it. They really worked their way into my heart and I couldn't be happier. I'll be 40 on December 4th (same B-day as Jin!) and I can say with all certainty that I will be an ARMY for life.
I love you so much I hope you stay safe 💜💜im a 10th grader and I’m 15 but it’s so amazing to see the diversity in the love of BTS!
Your comment touched me💜
Awesome!!
Thank you for saying this. I'm 39 and haven't had the confidence to interact with the other fans because of my age. The music/performances are my bias and I'm so proud of all BTS has contributed and accomplished. I wanted to say thank you to you all for being so kind and sharing.
@@whenyoucomeundone I felt the same way but now my mother, daughter, sister and her two daughters are ARMY as well. I realized you can never get too old for joy, happiness, and fun!
The fact that he wore a purple shirt for this interview... maybe it is just an coincidence ... but that is so special and he is a true army..... thank you sir💜💜💜
I noticed that right away too! He's a big fan, so I bet it was no accident. 😊💜
Actually he said precisely that it's because this is his BTS interview, he chose purple. This full interview is also available in Yt. He is so nice 🥰🥰💜
He is totally right about BTS educating more than any educator
It warms my heart to see other fans that aren't considered "normal". I'm almost 40 with 2 teenagers, I have a degree in finance, I've been married for almost 20 years and I own almost every BTS album and a ridiculous amount of merch and I have tickets to a concert that I'm praying will be rescheduled that I'm traveling hours away from home to attend. I even have BTS memorabilia in my office at work. Life's too short - do what you want and love what you want to love. 💜
SugaKookie 1903 I agree thanks for sharing. I purple you.
Oh wow
Dang. Someone commented saying I don't look 40 but they deleted it. 🤣 I wish they would have left it so I could thank them but also let them know Snapchat filters are a lifesaver 😉
💜borahae💜
True! Life’s to short! And loving BTS is not a crime! Me too I’m 42 with 2 teenagers! They introduced me BTS and now we have so much fun in the family! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜love ur self! Ur more lucky than me ☺️u seem having more merch than me 😉
Brian, I’m a female, 71 y/o retired educator and I’m here to applaud your eloquent description of what BTS brings to the world; regardless of age, background, social or financial status -they touch millions of lives on multiple levels. I too, shed tears; overwhelmed by the power of their voices and messaging. They create a beautiful and powerful environment for our children and, for us.
LETS TREND THIS!💜 BTS FANDOM IS NOT JUST TEENAGER GIRLS. LETS SHOW HOW DIVERSE OUR FANDOM IS.
Even by continent and diverse countries,culture,language,age etc. I wish people knew that we are really diverse in an imaginable level.
Army has no age 💖💖💖
Please spread this info, BTS IS SO UNIQUE, no body before BTS did something of this level where people of all over the world is talking about true emotions, and sincerity from them
I’m 73 very active and love BTS They are a cute bunch of boys who sing and dance great , what is not to like?🇬🇧🇺🇸🇰🇷❤️
I wish he can meet bts..he deserve..
I love elder ARMYs
'The don't understand it because they are not mature enough to understand it.' - This deserves a standing ovation.
This video actually has me tearing up. He’s 100% right. You’ll never understand the relationship of an army and bts until you’ve experienced it yourself. And a lot of ARMYS in my opinion aren’t vocal about it. Their reasons that is. Myself for example am a 31 year old woman and I don’t talk about my real reasons, the at the core of my being reasons for being an army to others that aren’t ARMYS in my close social circle because my reasons are deeply personal. But damn. Everyone should experience these boys. They are life changing.💜
thanks for sharing
I love how this channel highlights the broad spectrum of BTS fans. I’m a 43 year old ARMY myself. I also want to say, speaking in general, that I get so sick of people denigrating and dismissing things just because it’s something that “young girls” are into. The truth is, if BTS’s fan base WAS made up entirely of teenage girls, that wouldn’t mean that BTS is worthless! Teen girls are people too, and the things they enjoy have value.
Many of the things I discovered as a teenager are things I still love. I think this is true for most people, both men and women. But if you think about it, whatever “little girls,” teenage girls, AND grown women are into, it is often considered frivolous and unimportant. I just want to acknowledge BTS’s fan base of teen girls and young women as being every bit as legitimate as the rest of us, and everyone in ARMY, young and old, male and female, lends credibility to BTS.
Very well said and i agree.
Well said Mam..I totally agree with your point....i am 28 year old army.......I don't understand why people only think that BTS has "teen girl fans" and have problem with it... infact that is the most important age of anyone's life and here our army is taking inspiration from BTS which is very good...lots of love to our boys
I'm 30 and i'm happy that i am so deeply in love with BTS 💜
Thank you for a very good point that I have not heard voiced before! Hooray and love for ALL BTS Army and fans!
liberator6 , I felt a lump in my throat when I read your words: "Many of the things I discovered as a teenager are things I still love." I am 67, and you made me understand why I am so happy, now, enjoying things I loved as a teen; talking to my girlfriends on the phone, telling jokes to my siblings, listening to fun or moving music, sending and receiving snail-mail, trying new recipes, learning new languages, playing and dancing with children, gardening, reading books, walking in nature, spending time with people who make me laugh. My grown children ask me about BTS when they call me, because they know that the isolating at home in California since March has been strange, but BTS music and videos have kept me entertained and dancing like a teenager, in spite of being cooped up indoors because of the smoke and ash from wildfires near me.
I waited on a street corner, in The City of New York, one February day, for The Beatles to arrive at a hotel for their first visit to the U.S. There were many teen aged girls there, but that did not stop people of all ages, my parents and grandparents,,too....from becoming fans of The Fab Four over the years.
Well said sir, I applaud all the young people who stan BTS during their young years. You've made the right choice. Im 40 year old army with 2 teenage kids 1 adult kid. Im working and living life. On my teenage years ive listened to boybands, linkin park, Guns n roses all sorts of genres, u name it. I think, im still wild and crazy. In fact, im still drifted apart. Wiith BTS, they said you will stuck into a rabbit hole. Well, if that rabbit hole brings me happiness and boost my self esteem everyday, im not worried to be stuck forever. Its like a happy brainwave. Now, i think im one of the luckiest person in this millenia to stan BTS. Cheers to all armys out there, borahae
MV Min Cheers to you too. I purple you.
Im 40 too love BTS
@@someonecool110 💜💜💜😘😘
@@sorefy 90s kid here we come 😆
@Tiffany Santourian awee that is sweet 😘
I am a retired 73 year old lady who adores BTS... they changed my life too since seeing them on the British The Voice. A lot of my friends think I am slightly off the wall but one friend last night suddenly said I would like to go and see them when they next are on tour .. in the UK. So I think I’m converting them, they are hugely talented, hard working, and great young men who appreciate how they have got where they are...
He said it so well - that you have to "experience BTS". I've tried to explain how I feel about them to my friends and family but they look at me like I just told them I've seen aliens. It's very exhausting so I stopped talking about them. He's right though, you have to experience them to truly understand what this is or you're simply not gonna get it. Great interview!💜
Yes, I love how Skip described that, and it's so true. I'm in that phase where I can't stop talking about BTS to my friends and family (though I try really hard to stop!), and they will listen politely but they will never truly understand it unless they experience it themselves. It's almost like religion, in that sense. Not saying that BTS are something to be worshipped (they are just regular guys doing something extraordinary), but the incredibly eye-opening and emotional experience I've had while learning more about them and their music has been intense on that kind of level.
Same.
relatable sksksksksks I love this comment it’s literally me they’re like omg those girls stop talking about them I’m just like give them a chance :(
Action is louder than words.. I like to emphasize. If you want someone to understand you, show them through your action. You want your family to understand how the group/music had impact on you, show them. Instead of trying to make them understand by words, instead of being silent, show them. Show them that you have changed for the better through inspiration, through music, through messages. No one will understand until they see it. If anyone ask what’s going on? Let them listen to the music, and let them understand.
@@supportlakaikorea5740 Correction action is *Louder than bombs* 💜 . . . Sorry I couldn't resist
I’m 53 years I can understand what he feels when he talks how BTS done for him. During this quarantine BTS has helped me a lot. I appreciate everything they are doing.
"to be able to cause people to want to learn" exactly whether that's the books that they base their concepts on or their their native language or more about their culture, this time a group is opening up the doors to so many things to learn about
Yes I really started to read philosophy books and basically all non fictional books being mention and that’s me who as I always thought hates “useless fictional stories”
So true 🥺 somebody who hadn't walked someone else's path have no damn right to judge the path or destination. We all found BTS during our own struggles or the path. This video deserves only likes.❤️ BTS makes the world a better place period...
Well said army...
Oh my God bts has a song that says this exact same thing.
👌👌
@@proudethiopian1984 hehe, at this point BTS runs in my blood 💜 they have influenced me and I think it's pretty fair to say that they saved me from my own Rabbit hole. I know we all have our stories and that's why we resonate this much with them. i have stopped explaining to ppl why I like BTS. let them think whatever they want, my life my choices.And I whole heartedly admit I like them for their visuals, dance, music , lyrics and above all their soul💜 THEY ARE A COMPLETE PACKAGE 💜 Once an ARMY always an ARMY😎
True.. It may sound silly though but i think we haven't found them but they found us when we needed them.. Just a random thought😁😁💜💜
I have never shed more tears as i have since i became an ARMY. They constantly touch my heart with their songs. Kindness, and humility. It is as Skip said. I dont see myself ever not being an ARMY after i experienced BTS.
Spring Day
Not one to comment but seeing the elders like myself 68yrs, feelings for BTS as I do, inspired me share my heart for them. Two of my children make fun of me, saying I'm fan girling at my age. My response is "I don't give a UNH!," about your ridicule. I am retired. Move to a state where I know no one but my daughter and her friends. Basically I'm lonely a lot. I have been passionate about the arts and music all my life, so I pay close attention to lyrics, voice, beats, dance, etc. My age doesnt change that passion. BTS is seriously talented and awesome on the eyes lol. My favorite is Love Yourself Tears. V is incredible with that track and video. Their music comforts me and give me joy when I need it the most. I also love Rain. Continue my elder friends. We may be up in age but we are not dead.🎶💞
jacks reece You are not alone. I’m 52 and my husband ridicules me saying I’m fangirling and childish at my age. Why can’t we enjoy music that makes us happy? I just don’t share with him anymore. His loss. My 22 yr old daughter shares my love of BTS. I’ve been ARMY since 2016. She’s baby ARMY since 2019.☺️ Enjoy what you love and makes you happy! As long as it hurts no one, life is TOO short not to. Don’t you agree?
@@JustMe-oi9ms life is too short my friend. I have been struggling with the comments about, you don't act like a 68yr old. How am I suppose to act. Your "Just Me" is also who I am. Til the day I cant hear, see or function, i will love all the things that make me who i am, that includes my BTS.💞
jacks reece 👍🏻💜🙋🏻♀️ God Bless and we will all be “Just Me” together.🥰
Well, Jacks and Just me I'm with ya. Im 67 and have always enjoyed all kinds of music. I just love music. Tried to share bts with my sister, she and her husband made fun of me. Yet they think I should b interested in their lives. I have one daughter who dismisses them. I sent some videos to a friend explaining how i felt about them (lyrics, work ethic, talent, humilty etc). She has continued to send me political or religious things but never text me about the bts videos. I am an introvert, so i think ppl tend to overlook me. I have never felt this way about any entertainer b4. I've like performers. Gone 2 concerts. Bought albums/cds sure. But these guys r something else. My 15yr gdaughter got me interested. We talk about them sometimes. But she has her friends.
So its good to know I'm not really alone. That there are others out there. I know these young men arent perfect. But they encourage, entertain and enlighten me. And I truly thank God for them.
@@theoneandonly9298 . I got you. It's funny so far my oldest daughter and her twin sons which are 29yrs old, has joined me as fans. They are in another state but we text and talk on the phone regularly enjoying BTS. They are in the music business so their opinions speak volumes. They get me totally. My son and grandson still make fun of me but they purchased all seven members dolls for me Christmas! Lol I was so pleasantly surprised. Hopefully they will see what their missing. Stay loving BTS regardless of the ridicule. My bad days, which we seem to have being seniors, are mellowed out spending time with BTS.💜
For me, being a 16 year old, straight, white, boy, loving BTS has been an extremely challenging thing. People will always seem to judge you differently or make fun of you for liking them, especially if you're not a girl. But people don't actually understand the influence and positivity that they bring to their supporters lives, like me. I enjoy their music so much and it bring me such joy. They have truly helped my get through many tough times and sad moments. Without them I definitely wouldn't be the same. I just hope that one day everyone will be able to see this part of BTS and see how great they are. To be able to listen to their music without prejudice, and hopefully, be able to accept that anyone can like them. You don't just have to be a teenage girl.
👍👍👍💜
i'm here with you brother
People have this misconception that it is all a bunch of little girls fawning over good looking young men. I for one am appreciative of their message, their artistry, and their never ending hard work. I’m a 52 yr. old nurse. I found them while going through chemo. I was in a dark place in 2016. I feel their journey became my journey. Fighting to survive. They are successful beyond compare now and I almost feel like a proud mom of all of their accomplishments and continued successes. I love these boys’ music and their label does what it set out to do with this group... music for healing.🙏🏻💜OT7
Ty for sharing your story!! 💜
WOW NICE TO KNOW I'M NOT ALONE. I'M 64 AND ON DISABILITY. I ONLY LEARNED OF KPOP WHEN IN ADVERTEDLY HEARD BOY WITH LUV LAST JUNE. BEEN HOOKED EVER SINCE. I AM NOW AND WILL EVERMORE BE AN ARMY ONCE MIDZY BUDDY NEVERLAND MOA UEANA AND AN AID. THE ONLY OTHER GROUP BESIDES BTS THAT CAN MOVE ME EMOTIONALLY, YEAH I MEAN CRY, IS TWICE. THANK YOU LORD FOR BRINGING SUCH WONDERFUL MUSIC INTO MY LIFE.
I never heard of Carl Jung in school. I only learned from BTS and started looking and learning thanks to them 💜
That's amazing, he should be more appreciated , I always been interested in his work thanks to my mom
I learned about jung in college and it would usually be if you took psychology. Any kind of course that deals with person, inner conflict, society should. Unfortunately there's too much to learn so a deep dive would have to be done by reading yourself. Like how i studied evolution theory and find a lot of sense in it. Of course i believe in Creation that men were made by God and nothing was made without him. The big bang to me explained mostly how God could speak light into existence, creating something out of nothing. Mans evolution and i do not mean turning from fish to monkeys. I mean our travels and how the world changed around us. Im very interested in such topics and love to read and learn.
Our fandoms arent just random little girls, we have professional's, young and old, black or white, deaf or mute, short or tall in this fandom we have them all and we are proud to call one another a family
i agree i have a
uncle with DNA as is Ringtone
My grandma who sings with me while im watching them in tv
And my dad bias is jhope cause he thinks he is so joyfull and all and i agree to all and here i am !
edit:i lost my uncle... #flyhigh ...
The fact that BTS brought together millions of people from around the world is phenomenal. I can’t think of other group has done what they have done. I’m Army4Life
I'm tearing up seeing this. No one before explained why ARMY will be ARMY forever this beautifully.
'They probably have done more for education than any educator in the last 50 years'
He's spitting facts ya'll,i'm proud to be part of such an intellectual fandom
When people just say “they’re just pretty faces and their music is mediocre” makes me so upset. They don’t understand their talent, their messages, and hard work. Their good looks are just the cherry on top. I never knew that music could make you feel this certain way. With music these days that has no meaning and is just noise, this is something that I enjoy very much.
(Spring day is definitely up on my ranking of BTS songs)
I’m 42 years old and I thought I’m old enough for being an Army. Four years ago, my family teased me about being too old to be a fan but I didn’t care coz their music and performance made me happy and less depress. I didn’t realize I had down emotion to be called a depression. Thx to BTS. Now I would say I’m so proud being an Army.
I'm a 58-year-old BTS fan. When I was in my teens and twenties, I was a fan of Queen and various rock groups and pop singers. I'm still a fan.
Then, I started listening to K-pop in my 40s and I met BTS in my 50s.
At first I thought BTS was a K-pop group for teenagers, but when I saw BTS singing DOPE on a music program, I became a fan.
There are various messages in their songs that goes across ages.
This make me cry that there are still people who knows how we felt....
The thing is.. even if I'm not listening to their songs.. they just pop out in my mind and a bright wide idiot smile comes on my face . . They make me laugh thinking of them.. and ofc their songs, choreography, personality are on point!
Indu Kumari I hope you listen to it especially songs that suit your taste. You dont have to like all of them its your taste that matters. I purple you.
@@someonecool110 I'm a BTS Army since "NO MORE DREAM" era..
BTS is my taste of music..!!
Indu Kumari Oh I see. Thats cool. Im sorry I thought that way.
This is what I think BTS does it makes every age people to fall in love with them because they connect so strongly to everyone with their song ..
Every song has meaningful touch to it ... that's what made me fall in love with
them..
Back in 2015, I was so depressed and even attempt to suicide. Until I found that BTS exist and through watching them it heals me and help me to overcome my depression. And now I'm happy and still supporting them 😍
I wholeheartedly agree that it's a feat to be able to translate Jung's concepts into music that has such a deep impact to many people. BTS is so impressive in so many ways, but especially because of the deep meaning behind their music & videos. When a person can explore who they are & understand themselves better, there's hope that society can be better! This is a fantastic interview!
Bts has the most diverse fans
We are not fans we are a family
_this is why i'm proud to call myself an army.. no matter how many ppl say how "toxic" we are or how we are all tween girls... this is why i don't care abt haters who diss us and just keep supporting bts.._
I found BTS when I most needed to hear their message. I was 39 and at that time not a kpop fan. I will still say that today I am not a kpop fan, just a BTS fan.
I've never been prouder to be an ARMY 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I love these interviews you're doing Brian. And what Skip said is so true. It's so rare to find someone who truly enjoyed this desire to know and learn and understand the world and life. My world has broadened inexplicably since I found BTS. The way they appeal to the heart, mind and soul is something truly magical and quite unprecedented I believe..
I agree that Spring Day is a great song. Just hear it, without knowing the translation first, I felt so emotional. Then, when knowing the lyrics and also the theory, I completely fell into the rabbit hole and I'm very grateful for it,
Thanks for sharing the story, Skip!
Great interview, Brian :)
If most outsiders did proper research into BTS, they would find that they are a GEM of a group!
Thank you Brian for doing this interview and making an effort to educate people about the significance of bts as artist and people. I got emotional listening to this gentleman as he spoke on behalf of all of us; bts fans in general. I'm in my early 30's and discovered the band while going through a rough phase personally. I'm eternally grateful to both bts and army because it was the army who helped me to get closer to bts. I was a clueless enthusiast back then and bts fans introduced each and every member with so much love and respect. You don't find fans like army... they're extraordinary just like the band itself :)
Its true 💜 Armys evangelise the band like no other
I love everything about this. He was so sincere and spoke so highly of the boys. Thank you. 💜💜
I love this interview. His love for BTS. 50 here and also ARMY for life. Love from the Netherlands
When I listen to all this and all those comments sharing their stories...
Thank you all
I am not an Army but this this hits me very hard everytime
Respect every artists
They are Humble Legends ...
I love you all
What are you waiting for?
Become an army you won't regret it. Love
You're the best, thankyou so much for respecting them
I found BTS in the course of understanding my niece and my teenage students who are ARMYs. I found BTS because I wanted to understand kpop and fandoms.
I’ve known Jung since I taught his theories in college but I found other great artists and novelists, too.
I found a lot of beautiful and meaningful things ever since I jumped into this rabbit hole. And it’s like what he said, it’s a great thing to inspire people to seek learning for themselves.
I can't even explain how bts helped me... their songs helped me in my depression, their songs helped me when life sucks.. indeed i stan the right group rightnow I can't imagine my youth without them, whenever i feel down i always listen to their songs
What songs can you point out in particular ...also how is the process they helped you like is it only through music or...I am just curious
@@wenjerrysvt6961 their songs like magic shop, mikrokosmos, we are bulletproof pt. 2, 2! 3!, Spring day, hold me tight, Those songs helped me to cheer up, to continue my life. I can't express it to words but whenever i see bts happy I'll be happy too. I'm so inspired to their struggles when they debuted they stood up even the kpop industry drag them down I'm So proud of them. Their bond with us (armys) is REALLY different. Bts never saw us as fan they saw us as inspiration and family and thats the reason why i love them so much. I just Thank the Universe cause i met the 7 boys who completed my youth. i love them so much.
@@wenjerrysvt6961 you may find it corny but i really can't imagine my teenage without them... : ))
@@wenkexingtaekook1506 no it's corny I may not connect bit everyone is different... I think it's their lyrics that are always motivational not like the present day pops who always speaks of love life sx so basically they are different ....but the thing is same that you said when they are happy I feel happy ...but the daily happiness shouldn't be only from them ( at one point I was like that and felt so toxic and I am out now ) live your life even if it's hard ....I asked this to you because I couldn't understand how someone's music can make you out of depression and stuff maybe it's my rare personality that's why I don't open up and don't credit others (except mom) for what I am today ...also thanks for replying stay safe
@@wenkexingtaekook1506 the connection with fans (army's ) is different from others ...like family you said it feels like some part of us I think this bond makes them through success their constant need for connection with friends ...I think this leads to some unhealthy obsession out there
tbh i never thought im gonna be this deep and interested on boyband. i would say whalien 52 is my starter and the lyrics blown me away how it suit my situation that time. i learned so many things and never regret become an army. im a 26yo man with stable career 💜
Spring day! There is so much I can say about this song. When this song came out I was what we call baby ARMY and immediately loved this song and I text my best friend of 15+ years(she has been an ARMY since beginning) and I said to her “have you heard that song, it feels like our song.” And she said that this was exactly what she felt. Since then I basically cry every time I hear this song or sometimes when it is just mentioned, including now. I miss my friend so much, I have moved to different country when I was 19 and we only see each other every few years but we talk every day. Spring day is such a powerful song, as well BTS has been a big part of my life for last 5 years 💜
ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
I'm so touched by this series you are doing brian, i wish all these amazing yet somehow unseen part of Armys can get more spotlight so more people can listen and understand what BTS has given to the world T.T because I've truly seen a lot of older Armys over the last fee months, be it by youtube or on twitter, and all of them are all amazing, thoughtful, kind, and just great people! Not to mention that lots of them are professionals in their own field work, always someone having the taste of real life struggles and everything, but the conclusions are always the same, that BTS somehow become their source of happiness, joy, inspiration, strength, motivation, and what probably most loyal Armys can relate to is the healing they provide. Being an Army is not just about consuming music as pop culture anymore, it's a whole new lifestyle, a whole new perspective.
I should stop typing before i start writing essays here. So thank you brian, and thank you mr. Skip as well for sharing. This is so bittersweet ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
65, going through a divorce from a 45-year marriage, and consistently return to BTS to find joy again, to laugh at their silliness, to love the bond these brothers have. I also look at them and realize they have HAD to have gone through unknown stress and pressure, from within and without...and their bond is only proving itself to be the strength that is at the heart of their lives, I honestly believe they would take a bullet for each other. I have only been this in love with a group since the Beatles, I was 10 when they debuted. I love the Beatles still, but their music has faded in my mind, but I can sing BTS by heart, and I don't even know Korean. I have seen BTS twice, the first with my oldest grandson when he was 16, and then last year at the Rose Bowl, I flew to SoCal by myself, attended the concert by myself, and was going to go again before Covid. My first viewing of Dynamite made me incredibly happy, and every single time I watch it again that same joy returns.
In today's world we need someone like BTS. They bind all of us, ARMYs, together. We stick with each other and fight and laugh through our way. They unite us all. We come from different countries, cultural backgrounds, educational backgrounds, age, etc yet we stay together and stay united. This is a very pleasant sight to see especially in today's divided world. They don't just make music to earn money they make music to help their listeners to lead a better life. They have actually helped a lot of people (including me of course). I discovered them very recently and Dynamite was my first comeback. I am totally amazed by the power of ARMY, the way they work for the boys, it totally blows my mind away. We love them so much and they love us back equally. Also, I really hope Skip gets to meet BTS. He totally deserves it. Loved your video Brian. 💜
It made me in tears, every what he said was so true. BTS is a creator of happiness and beautiful in life. 💜💜💜
Brilliant! I'm in Skip's Advanced Reading Group on Jungian Psychology, and I'm having the opportunity to learn together with and from wonderful people who embraced me as an ARMY, and are very interested and amazed by BTS's work. 💜
One day I hope that he can meet BTS
i am 33years old, married and a mom of two girls and BTS completly changed my life .. i was so lost that i did't even realise how much i was depressed but one day i discovered these amazing seven human and everything changed for the best 💜💜
Wow this makes me so emotional...he is so right , everybody who badmouth, criticize, insult BTS is immature. Just grow up !
He is definitely one of us. Especially his reference to Spring Day and the fairy disaster I can relate to, because I was also watching that day. For everything that happened afterwards, for all those young lives lost, their voices stolen from time, and the survivors told constantly by adults to just forget about it; like there is no reason to seek answers, BTS Spring Day spoke for the voiceless, the injustice, the need for answers.
None talks about that they never use any drugs girls cars or any fvuckimg such things ... That's why I will always say ...I stan LEGENDS...
We are different cuz we are ARMY
We are BTS's ARMY
what are you talking about, they are "crack"heads, have "expensive" girls and Hyundai(IONIQ) and Kia(Palidsade). Love BTS and ARMY Forever.
Of all the posts I have ever seen, I really hope BTS sees this one! I am 42, and this man moved me to tears! Keep going! Army forever 💜
I could say that BTS ARMY are incredible. And I'm a proud ARMY. I never imagine that I will become an ARMY or even stan for an Artist this deep, to the point I said to my self that BTS would be the first and the last idol or artist that I stand to. I think it's all fate. And I love you fams 💜
This is like an archive of BTS’ impact and influence to all of us. I hope you can interview more and show how diverse we are. So happy that I get to listen to experiences of others with BTS. I was personally saved by BTS as well.
this really made me emotional. bts are one of the most important people in my life, and if i hadn't met them, i really don't know where i'd be right now. it's not that my entire life changed for the better the moment i met them-it's more like, before i met them, my life was full of sharp edges. but since i met them, their music and message and love just slowly dulled my edges. they made it easier for me to live.
skip is right, you'll never really understand why we (ARMYs) love bts so much until you experience it yourself. i really appreciate this interview, i wish more people could see it. thank you, brian 💜
What BTS did for me?? Why do I love them?? What's so special about them??etc....
Many questions, Only answer..
If I am able to smile today and if I am able to write this comment today... BTS is the reason 💜....
I am 55 year old lady and feel lucky to have found BTS. They are amazing, talented, hard working, beautiful and here when we need them most.
Becoming an Army is the only best decision I think I've taken till now...
I’m a proud 41 yrs old army. BTS are truly angels💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I really enjoyed this. I'm 64 and adore BTS. I have been interested in psychology and philosophy since high school so found the Jungian under current fascinating. In the 60s-70s, which was also a time of disharmony (assassinations, Viet Nam war protests, students killed at Kent State, Watergate) there was also much great music: Creedence, Grateful Dead, Carly Simon, Janis Joplin, Jackson Five, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Moody Blues etc. etc. etc.. I love all kinds of music, but have not found an artist or band since that time with which I have liked SO MANY songs and the message.
I was an art teacher. I am continuously entertained by the creativity and depth behind their videos, set design, and clothing. I can't get through Spring Day without crying either.
I'm so proud to be part of this fandom! I'm thankful that they are part of my life
Dido to Sugar Cookie 1903. I'm almost 58 years young, have a 23 year old, married for 33 years, have 2 master's degrees in human resources and LOVE BTS with all my heart and soul. I have all types of their merch and wear/display it proudly at home and at work. I love it when people ask me "who is BTS or why do you have them as the screen saver on your computer?" I use each of these opportunities to talk about BTS and the message of their music.I purchased tickets to two of their MAP of the Soul 7 concerts (praying they will be able to reschedule those soon) that I planned to travel to all by myself. I was so excited when I purchased my concert tickets (which would have been my first time attending their concert) anyone would have thought I was a young teenager. I cannot describe the level of disappointment and utter hurt I felt when the concerts were postponed because of the pandemic. I understand why the concerts had to be postponed but I was so looking forward to attending the concerts It took me a very long time to come to grips with the fact that I would not be able to see them in concert. I've also purchased several other items including In the Soop, Learn Korean with BTS package, Break the Silence docu series, Bang Bang Con Live, Map of the Soul 7 album, the 5th Muster DVD, BTS light stick Map of the Soul, and just yesterday Map of the Soul ON:E 2-day concert ticket. I love their message, how they love and appreciate ARMY and most importantly how humble and down to earth they are despite all of their success and accomplishments. I proudly will be a BTS true ARMY fan and supporter for life. Thank you Jin, RM, J-Hope, Suga, Jimin (my personal bias, but love them all ) V and Jungkook for bringing joy and happiness to (what some would call, not me, a senior citizen) my life. May you all continue to be richly blessed with ongoing success, love and good health.
Bighit intro : Music and artist for the healing
Well they weren't lying ....
💜💜
Wonderful interview. As a former art teacher I wish I was back in the classroom so I could present a unit on Blood Sweat and Tears. This group transcends entertainment. Stay well
I’m an older ARMY, but this man has me beat by decades! So happy that people in every generation finds resonance in Bangtan’s cultural value.
I never understood when people used to say music helped them through stuff till I went through stuff myself and BTS music actually kept me sane.. It's so real.. These people are continents away and helped me heal with their music.. Trust me and no one around me at that time could do anything to help me.. That's why I'm a die hard fan.. People I would rely on just sent so much hate my way.. I was helpless and BTS taught me through their struggles that there's light after dusk.. And I hang on till my bright day came.. Bts is out there doing God's work and people are just ignorant and hating.. Smdh
i hate studying because i think it’s pointless and leads no where but my parents want me to get good grades so i work for them. after becoming Army, i want to study the topics they talk about and i spent 3 or 4 days just researching and learning about jungian theory and i can say that i learnt so much those few days and i honestly enjoyed it. now seeing them work hard makes me want to put on effort too and i’ve taken interest in school even if it is only a bit.
they’ve changed my life and i will be an army even after death
The old sir's words really hit me and gave me goosebumps
I am an army and if I was asked why I am one I would be speechless and having millions of heart felt memories and thoughts flooding my brain every second
BTS stay happy and stay healthy
BTS thank you and saranghae
Spring Day and Young Forever are my fave BTS songs because the messages have touched my heart in so many ways. The lyrics are so moving which made me a hard stan. I love their sincerity and honesty in their music.
,"They dont understand it cause they are not mature enough to understand it"🙌 👍
This made me cry. This is exactly what I feel about them.
I can feel what he feels BTS saved me when no ones around for me They helped me understand the reality that you do not need to compare yourself with others because you are you and no one else. Love yourself being love your self is not a selfish
Mind blowing! We need more of these interviews to show the impact of our boys and how it transcends the belief of ‘teenage girls’. Thank you Brian for doing such an awesome job!
You should put the link for the full interview and make your videos longer, please. The interview was more then one hour long.. more people need to see more information about this... Not only 5 minutes :(
Thank you very much for this terrific interview Brian! It was a lot of fun!
Welcome to the army. Best decision you ever made. BTS FOREVER 💜💜💜💜💜 much love from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 (46 years old)
Thank you again! And again! I can’t say that enough to express my gratitude and happiness in seeing you bring foward such diverse Armies, all ages and backgrounds! And I totally agree that BTS has immensely contributed to global youths education and sense of (good) values... in a time and age where this is terribly needed. I am a proud 48yo wife, mother, professional and ARMY for life! 💜🤟🏼
In a world where there is negativity, so much stress about things, demotivation, lose of hope and disappointment within self and with onself then there comes *BTS* 💜with a ray of light, hope, energy and happiness. Teaching us to love ourselves before loving others, to be kind and generous towards others. Motivating people to keep fighting till the very end and be better every other day. To speak for yourself, to understand yourself and to love yourself. To spread positivity, happiness, understand others feeling and make them smile and loved❤
I am happy to be part of their fandom. *They make me feel happy within* I purple them❣🇮🇳
Continue to do this interview because it shows the diversity of the ARMYs.
we need more artist who came with organic ,speak up and giving message even just simple message to bring happiness or just share the same feeling, not just to obsession with popularity instant and sold out something, but the one who can bringin impact and can move so many people heart like BTS
