The huge crowd of ARMYs that showed up outside the HYBE building after Jin was discharged really showed the BTS members that we fans aren't going anywhere and we will wait for them even through their military enlistment period

I think they are too humble given their status. They have never flaunted being successful for forever. They even have many songs where they think all this fame is fleeting and will disappear the minute they go to the military but they don't know western audiences don't move like kpop centric audiences when the next shiny comes to town. BTS will join their role models like Coldplay, ARMY will prove it with time they are here to stay.

Just look at this random meetup ARMY are doing with the photo Joon posted.

the hype for them seems even bigger now

Jin is so humble and has such a big heart. I think them going in the military has earned them respect from the Korean fans and their comeback will be larger than life. Army’s are going no where.

O

I mean waiting aint that hard considering how went and how well fed you were are ;p

I understand that this is a phenomen that often occurs - group enlists & loses fans - and it seems the boys were a bit worried about it. Im so happy they saw with their own eyes that whatever happens, army will be there for them.

you're right, they did prepare a lot :))

Although, i think many armys who prefer group content just waited it out too.

Can't blame them for a worrying a bit. They only had the previous idols' career history to go with.

Funny, but their so called "hiatus" only enticed a lot more new Armys to join the fandom. This time, though, baby armys have been absorbing more knowledge about them, by going through their discography, concert performances, TV shows, Run BTS, BTS docu-movies, etc, even before meeting them as a group. As a result, baby Armys will be completely ready for BTS when they are all discharged.

Sure, some of the Armys moved on to other groups but many of them also hilariously found their way back to BTS after Jin's discharge, much to the dismay of the fans of the new groups they supposedly moved on to.

BTS have nothing to worry about. Armys, on the other hand, better start worrying about getting those World Tour Tickets.

Armys are a loyal bunch.
