BTS’ global fandom Army has responded to a different view expressed by some K-pop and non-BTS fans by posting tweets with a sense of humor, resulting in the trending of the hashtag #ARMYIndependenceDay on Twitter.
Some K-pop listeners and fans have recently expressed discomfort with the fast-growing BTS fan community. They have claimed that some of the band’s Army only listened to BTS and showed little interest in K-pop in general, leading to a flurry of posts with #ArmysRuinedKpopParty.
In response, Army members started a wave of posts with #ARMYIndependenceDay to celebrate their “freedom.” Some fans posted humorous pictures of their “independent” Army nation, including its history, national flag, passport and currency, also featuring internet memes in their posts. -

So ARMY was "kicked out of Kpop" but kpoppies were upset because ARMY took the "expulsion" happily?
Oh, that's a typical ARMY thing to do. So unserious!

Kpoppies, at that time, were not happy about the fast growing ARMY fandom who are only interested in BTS music. Hence, they thought, ARMYs have to go because they are not supporting the rest of the Kpop.
So instead of being pissed off about the expulsion, ARMYs celebrated the FREEDOM. I would surmise that that reaction made the Kpoppies even more upset. Oh, the tension it must have created! lol
Not the ARMYs already talking about national flag, passport and currency on the day of expulsion! Too funny!

I discovered BTS and became ARMY in late 2017. Though ARMY independence didn't really become "official" until a year later, it felt like it had been brewing even when I got to know BTS and ARMY. As others have said, the complaint was that ARMY weren't really KPOP stans and I feel this stemmed from the whole "western validation" slur in which BTS did indeed breakout into the West and began gaining a lot of fans there. However, because kpop was (and still isn't) a huge thing in the West, many of the fans they gained were more into BTS rather than KPOP per se and that rubbed fans of kpop the wrong way.
I'll say this. To me, it seemed nonsensical because you don't tell someone who likes pop in the West that they must like all pop groups do you? Yea, cause all Swifties are huge fans of Katy Perry. Right. I like kpop just fine personally, not all of it, but I can appreciate a lot of it. I have an additional cause in that I am for things the further normalize the idea that Asians are not just stereotypical nerds of the model minority, but I digress cause its off topic.
But honestly, who would want to belong to something where they are told what they have to be interested in and vice versa? So joke's on them, ARMY never cared anyway and were just as happy to not be in the club! Then some got mad that ARMY didn't give a shit and some were in fact happy/celebrating it. LMAO.
