ARMY always give the greatest love and support to BTS wherever they are in the world. The vast ARMY fandom transcends language and cultural barriers to express their love for their idols in a positive and civilized way.

The best example of this is the ARMYs in North Korea. They are not only the most special ARMYs but they are also the bravest when it comes to showing their love to a South Korean group despite the opposition from the authorities.

Here's how they show their love for BTS and how they get admiration for their steel spirit from other ARMYs:

If you pay a little attention to the world political situation then you probably fully understand that North Korea is a dangerous place to love K-Pop. Since the end of the South Korean and North Korean wars, it seems difficult to have an armed war happen in a time of peace, but on political, cultural, social fronts, the confrontation between South Korea and North Korea is extremely tense.

So it seems that K-pop is not developed in the country of North Korea - where they are only allowed to listen to traditional music and read books about the political symbols of this country. But that probably still hasn't stopped the strong growth of ARMYs and their love for BTS.

According to defectors Kang Nara and Park Yoo Sung on a show about the Hallyu River in North Korea, there are a large number of BTS fans in the country. To explain how popular BTS is in North Korea, Park Yoo Sung gave the example of their recent GRAMMY Award nomination. According to Park Yoo Sung, there are rumors that the 500 votes only came from North Korea—most likely from powerful citizens.

He said that: "When BTS won a GRAMMY Awards [nomination], people said there were 500 North Korean votes. Many North Koreans have cellphones now, and the higher-ups in the party or their children have access to the internet! I think those people voted."

This seems to be an overwhelming number because the Internet in North Korea is not comfortably accessible. Moreover, mentioning BTS or K-pop in this country is also strictly prohibited and others have to give BTS nicknames when they want to talk and discuss this group to avoid detection by the government.

Contrary to what people from all over the world may think, there are BTS fans in North Korea even if it is banned to be one: “There are BTS fans in North Korea, and they directly participate like this too“.

Meanwhile, Kang Nara deduces that not only locals vote for BTS, but foreigners in North Korea also participate in that race. She said: "There are many foreigners who live in North Korea. They can use the internet if they pay around $150. There’s a good chance that they voted, too."

Besides, Park Yoo Sung expressed his admiration for the love that North Korean ARMYs have for BTS. Even if they could get shot, they weren't afraid to risk their lives for the boys. He told that: "Then the real fan must be in North Korea. There, you risk your life by geeking out. You could get shot for real!"

It can be seen that, in order to access BTS's music and show their love for the group, ARMYs in North Korea have had to sacrifice their lives and a lot of money to satisfy their love for BTS. group. It's a sincere and admirable love and shows the widespread influence of BTS and their songs.

As the two defectors concluded, they perfectly expressed the hearts of North Korean ARMYs: “The love of ARMY transcends the border“.
