Although idol fan culture, especially Kpop idols, has developed globally and is widely accepted, there are still many moments when Kpop fans are accused of their bad habits due to the influence of this fan culture.
Idols even become the focus of criticism or controversy when any of their behaviors are considered to be inappropriate, causing young people to learn from them. But please note that any event, ideology or character has both good and bad sides.
That does not mean we should just focus on the bad and ignore the positive views and good points. There are many points of an idol worth learning and ARMYs can clearly be proud to speak loudly about their idols - BTS.
Recently, a conversation between Jin and a fan became the center of attention when the fan pointed out that she could list up to 200 reasons why she loved BTS's eldest brother. While Jin was surprised, she pointed out that although she couldn't list everything in this fan call, she could list 3 random things that he chose.
Jin then chose the 77th thing and she said: "Because you're the kind of person who lives up to your faith in yourself". He found it surprising and replied: "Wow, I'm not really like that,, how about #25?".
The #25 as she mentioned: "Cos we all know how hard you work" makes Jin shy. He said: "Ahh, but I don't work quite hard... but..#88?"
She continued: "Cos I also become happy when I see you being happy on stage". Jin then smiled, saying that: "Wow there are so many different types of reasons~".
However, she replied after that: "I can actually come up with another 100 reasons..." and he continuously asked: "How about #1?". "Because you never stay complacent in the present and keep pushing himself", she said.
After listening, Jin continued to give reasons to deny it: "Wow, but isn't it soмєтнing that everyone has to do in life?" but he was convinced by her immediately when she said with certainty: "No, oppa u r the real deal. I love you".
This conversation touched all the fans and netizens. They couldn't help but nod in agreement with this OP about the things she listed. Other fans also praised OP for the "quality" and "meaningful" conversation she had with Jin when they met.
Other ARMYs suggested that fans should also learn similar words and ideas in future fan calls:
- his should be prized as the best fancall from today. she really had such great compliments.. also wk how he's not good w/ taking compliments so his reverse mechanism is to downplay them but at the same time ik how much it means to him. so thankful to that army this was great
- This is the kind of things the members deserve to hear during this events, it makes me happy when army tell them beautiful things or when they make them laugh. I'm glad this army had this opportunity
- This is one of the best things I've ever seen a fan say to him. Thank you for translating and thank you op for saying these words to him. May Seokjin only hear such beautiful things
- you could see how much it meant to him. after everything, all the moments hes brushed himself off or downplayed his efforts.. and then op says “no, oppa, you are the real deal” like. that mustve felt like the biggest hug to his heart. thank u op
- omg this is such a cute and creative concept
- You deserve to hear this Jin...and more! You are a wonderful person that inspires people to keep on improving and to be the best version of themselves. Thank you and we love you!
- Let me go and cry. This is the sweetest interaction ever
- Aw, this was unique and very nice. She deserved to be one of the winners
While it is impossible to describe exactly, basically idols in general and BTS in particular are soмєтнing “special” to fans. They have a great influence on the spirit, helping fans overcome the most difficult times in their thoughts and even making fans feel love even when it is not expressed to anyone in particular.
In addition, admiring exemplary idols is never a bad thing because they can help fans enlighten, learn good things and even have the motivation to go further!
