ARMY is considered one of the fandoms with the strongest level of solidarity and influence in Kpop fandoms. It has been said that if you want to slander BTS, you probably don't know the horrors of the ARMY fandom.
Fans of BTS are said to be bonded by the members and their love for their idol has led to fandom and group success. However, over the past decade, BTS and ARMYs have also seen many fans leave the fandom for various reasons. There are even fans who leave because they love another group.
So, ARMYs once asked V how he felt when he learned that some ARMYs decided to leave and become fans of other idols. V had an answer that moved many other ARMYs:
It can be said that with the current level of popularity of the group, the number of fans of BTS must be uncountable. People often talk about more and more ARMYs joining the BTS fandom, but in fact over the years, there are people who have become fans of the group, and there are people who are no longer their fans.
Although it is known that loving or admiring a person depends on each person's emotions and it is also assumed that loving someone will not last long, but it still brings regrets. Meanwhile, many people think that leaving a fandom brings disappointment, sadness or even, more harshly, betrayal, the BTS members do not think so.
Especially with V, he has a completely different perspective on this. When an ARMY asked what V would think if a fan decided to become a fan of another idol and no longer an ARMY. He was quick to give an answer that would melt any fan's heart and surely anyone who reads the answer will promise not to leave forever.
He said: "Are you forced to leave? Of course not, you can still like both, right?".
V's answer then quickly went viral and caught the attention of ARMYs. It shows that he himself understands that there is no rule that prevents fans from being fans of different idols. But he still hopes that if his fans can love both him and other idols instead of choosing not to love him anymore.
V definitely appreciates the affection of his former fans. Not only that, right after receiving this reply from V, the ARMY in the story also quickly replied that he was cute when he encouraged fans to like more artists. This fan also did not forget to affirm that there will never be a matter of giving up being a fan of V as well as BTS.
At that response, V seemed to feel more secure and made an affirmation that captured the hearts of ARMYs. He wrote: "That's right, we are 'gganbu' (a close bond, inseparable).
Although it was only a small interaction with fans, it was quickly shared, showing how cute V is. He cherishes each fan and always loves them.
It's the same as Jungkook's response to fans who have left the fandom. He thanked ARMYs who were once ARMYs because every memory they spent together was precious. And whenever fans who have left want to come back, he is always as welcoming and ready to be their spiritual support as before.
Those are really great and humble thoughts of BTS!
