“Debuting in 2013 under HYBE, BTS’s ARMY has evolved from underdog scrappers to a 50–60 million-strong behemoth, per 2025 estimates from the Global Hallyu Survey where BTS topped popularity at 24.6%,” Explore кσяєα Now provided these figures in one of its reports on BTS’s popularity as well as the immense power of the global ARMY fandom.
Not only impressive in terms of numbers, the “quality” of BTS’s fan community has also left the public astonished. The ARMY roster boasts powerful names spanning multiple fields: from renowned artists and athletes to CEOs of major corporations and even high-ranking politicians. Winning over such influential figures serves as proof of the exceptional appeal and core values that BTS brings to the table.
Recently, this list of “famous fans” has grown even longer as the world’s most beautiful face influencer, Dasha Taran, υиєχρє¢тє∂ly revealed that she has been a longtime ARMY. Her public declaration not only heated up social media but once again affirmed the cross-border influence of the BTS superstars.
For those who may not know, Dasha Taran (born in 1999) is recognized as the “Most Beautiful Face in the World.” She consistently ranks in the Top 10 of TC Candler’s annual list. In 2022, she placed 4th; in 2023, she ranked 2nd behind Nancy; and in 2024, she came in 6th. Currently, she is a model, influencer, and entrepreneur.
Dasha Taran once revealed that a photo taken when she was 17 became a hot topic online. Since then, her Instagram following has continuously increased, now surpαѕѕing 6 million followers. Meanwhile, any content she posts garners at least 50 million views. Notably, the “Wipe the Mirror” challenge she participated in reached 83 million views.
As for her attention-grabbing confession of being an ARMY, it was revealed not long ago during an episode of the SBS variety show Shoes Off, Single Men. In that episode, the actress discussed her life after moving to South кσяєα with the hosts.
Beyond work-related reasons, Dasha Taran surprised кσяєαn viewers when she shared: "I first watched BTS’s music video when I was 16 and it was so cool that I started to take an interest in кσяєα. I want to travel to кσяєα and work there too. I also really like кσяєαn food.” With this statement, the “Instagram angel” officially declared her longtime membership in the group’s fan community.
Shortly afterward, ARMYs quickly uncovered some proofs of her loyalty to BTS on social media. One of Taran’s old posts featuring all seven members of BTS resurfaced and rapidly went viral again.
In 2019, she ever mentioned BTS that: "I α¢¢ι∂єитally listening to a BTS song and fell in love with it. After that i pay attention to Kpop. Naturally my eyes are on korean make up and fashion. Thank you to BTS for letting me know about korean culture, they are precious artist."
Not stopping there, ARMYs also discovered that in another interview, Dasha Taran had once revealed her favorite members in the group. Although she is a fan of BTS and loves all seven members, Taran still has her own bias—someone she favors a little more. Those two members are Jimin and Jungkook! Indeed, the charm of the two youngest members is hard to resist, isn’t it?
In the end, ARMYs jokingly remarked that beautiful and famous people often attract one another, and Taran is no exception. The list of famous female fans of BTS around the world continues to grow longer, leaving other fangirls half-worried, half-amused. ARMYs commented: “You’re beautiful, but please line up,” “The most beautiful girls loving the most amazing guys—I don’t want to admit it, but they suit each other,” “Everyone, please line up,” “Whoever you are, get in line lol,” “Beauty recognizes beauty,” “The most beautiful woman in the world, please line up. Thank you,” “Ah! The whole world wants BTS,” and more.
