Since their debut in 2013, the members of BTS have become the most popular South Korean group in the industry, increasing their fame more and more thanks to their incredible musical talent and their large group of fans that are distributed in every part of the world.
These fans got the name ‘ARMY‘ from the K-Pop septet, which has a special and important meaning for each of them. Despite the fact that this word is another way of calling the armed forces in many countries, it has a different and incredible meaning that very few BTS fans know about.
The meaning behind this word has two interpretations, which make up the values and concept of the boy group:
First of all, this is related to the word ‘bulletproof‘, which is the meaning of BTS’ name in Korean. And the second is the acronym for ‘Lovely MC Representatives for Youth‘, as the group claims to represent youth in their motto.
However, on another occasion, in the middle of a live performance, the leader, RM said to the crowd present the phrase “areumdaun miseong“, which would be a new abbreviation for ARMY, which means “beautiful voices“, giving this important group of fans another meaning to their name.
When Joon looked at the voiceless clapper ARMYs and told them that ARMY (아미) stands for 아름다운 미성 (areumdaun miseong) which means "beautiful voices"
