In case you were wondering, hate directed at BTS has been around as long as they have. From before their debut they've been criticized for their concept, their talents, their looks, their personalities, you name it. Usually this is from outside the fandom, but not always. One of the worst examples is about our J-Hope. In late November 2014, there were several anti member hashtags circulating online. Unfortunately, one started trending... Kickoutjhopebts. This was after they'd been noticed as rookies of the year and were doing alright for themselves. Our Hobi had been practicing late, apparently, and tweeted this "Late at night when everyone is asleep, this is J-Hope. I was monitoring myself and practicing my dance for the first time in a while, and I'm feeling a lot of things.. I'm really lacking still... I feel like I should work harder , so I'm tweeting a fighting tweet. Fighting, Hope!"
Now if this doesn't break your heart...
Jin and RM were also receiving hate hashtags at the time, and RM responded to J-Hope by tweeting "Let's have strength - RM". Then Jimin tweeted a post of himself spelling out JHOPE with his body. He wrote, " I'm posting a hope tweet for the Hope-hyung that I love that's become exhausted with practice early in the morning!
Have strength, hyung-nim! Let's have strength, Bangtan kekeke". Jin joined the exchanges by tweeting, "Give me strength too, since I'm the oldest hyung ??".
As you can see they gained strength from each other. Hoseok told us that he'd left the group, pre-debut. But he came back because he had such faith in the other 6 guys. Together they can do anything, especially with our J-Hope in the middle. He is Bangtan's rock, our amazing choreo leader, rapper, vocalist, award -winning dancer, and mood maker. He always references his family; mother, father, sister... and his puppy, as his most precious things, but we know his 6 brothers are included in that, too.
Don't worry about that horrible time now, but know that our Hoseok can overcome many things because of the strong, wonderful man he is. Despite the many fears he professes, he's balanced by the love around him. His family, and that includes us by extension, will always have his back and he knows it. The responding hashtag ARMY used back then was #JHopeYourePerfect. And that's still true today.
Side note: let's try not to join in on these hate tags, ARMY, for anyone. Whether it's another group, member, person... it's destructive. No matter the reason or circumstances. And we've seen the results of too much pressure on other idols in the past. 💜💜

Team Karamel is still new and building our basics, but there's a vastly important topic we couldn't let lie for long. So we'd like to start talking about being kind. Thankfully, BTS leads the way for us in these things and they launched their renewed campaign with UNICEF last week. The campaign is against bullying but at it's core, this is about spreading kindness to yourself and everyone else. Because that's all it really takes, being kind. And Loving Yourself.
We'll focus on kindness this week by talking about each member and how they exemplify kindness, in our eyes. Also how they've faced the opposite and what they've done to overcome it. We ask that you remember how well BTS handles hate directed their way and try to emulate it. When you encounter negativity, lets fight it with positivity. Hate messages to any member individually, or to them as a whole, don't engage. Instead of spreading the madness, maybe try to counter with things you love about the member or group. And, of course, report everything appropriately! There's Bighit if it's a serious threat they need to be aware of. Use your discretion so that they're able to get to important issues. Report problems on each platform appropriately. If it's hate messages, report as such, so our reports are noticed as helpful. Lastly, IF companies that BTS are dealing with behave inappropriately, we want to be as polite and professional as the boys would be. Express your displeasure through appropriate channels, and in proper ways. Doesn't mean we can't organize other means of expression, as a fandom, but let's be known as a reflection of our idols, ARMY! We can do it!
Team Karamel 🍮

Who's A.R.M.Y?
You might answer "I'm ARMY" and every BTS member would agree with you. If you give all seven members, your love and support, you are A.R.M.Y!
A.R.M.Y has been with BTS from the very beginning. On July 19, 2013, a month after their debut, the members announced the name of their fanclub. The acronym A.R.M.Y stands for,
Adorable Representative M. C for Youth.
BTS' Korean name is 방탄서년단 (bangtansonyeondan), and it means Bulletproof Boy Scouts. To keep their theme/concept of bulletproof, they used the logo of the bulletproof vest worn by the military.
ARMY is military in English. Their army of fans will always stand with BTS and support each another.
You may ask, " What does the " M.C" stand for?". The term “MC” for rappers means Master of Ceremony. MC, (or Emcee) a skilled rapper. But, it could also mean we (ARMY) are the spokesperson for BTS and all they represent. We are the ones who control the microphone thus, we can speak the loudest.
And we do! The members have often said, without ARMY there would be no BTS. But, if there were no BTS, we wouldn't be ARMY.
The boys have grown into men, and ARMY has grown too. In numbers and in our ages. We aren't just made up of youth.
We do have a very powerful voice. With this power, comes responsibility. How will you use your voice to support BTS? Will you be the positive MC?
We will continue this conversation another day. Thanks for reading and sharing.

We've got this!!
I figured since it's Hobi day, we could talk a little about our amazing dancer, rapper J-Hope. Let's talk about his kindness, his charitableness, his caring nature. First off, he's an essential part of BTS (as they all are). His contributions to the team are limitless but that's not we're talking about today. I think, today we can just focus on the truly nice guy our Jung Hoseok is.
The thing that occurs to me when we talk of Hobi's sweetness is his love for the members. The way he can make Yoongi smile with his extraness. Or how he can take the pressure from Jin by being funny. There's love and admiration for RM that you can see in his eyes. And, of course, his adoration for the maknaes shines through very brightly. They're his personal cuddle buddies and comforters, his very own collection of trolls and inspiration. All together, the 7 are perfect compatibility with J-Hope in the middle.
He's also commonly expressed his love for his family, his mom and dad, and his sister. That's something you don't hear from most guys enough, but our Hobi never forgets. And his love for his dog, Mickey, proves that his beautiful heart extends to all things.
After you talk about the obvious, there's his love for Army. And he's second to none when it comes to showering us with the abundance of affection he has. His happy dances, performed for our amusement, spraying hearts in all directions, are sure to make any Army's heart glow brighter. His willingness to try things he's afraid of or doesn't like, just to keep us entertained, is purely selfless. There's so much he's endured for our sake. 😁 poor baby! But that's a show of his love, too. I've never gotten to see him up close, personally, but this video conveys how much he wants to share with us, I think. A crying girl in the crowd, moved by their performance, captured his attention. He's in the middle of a huge concert, but he gives this girl the only thing he can, to comfort her. Whether he thought she was happy or sad, he wanted to let her know they share those feelings. Giving her his bag, a key "Hobi" point, was a wonderful gesture of love and sharing that was probably a split second decision. But it really strongly points to his nature of caring. How lucky we are, Army, to have Hoseok in our lives!!! That's enough gushing for today 😄 but if you have any story to tell about our Sunshine, or fanart, or just want to agree, our messages are open. You can also always email us at bts.armyxyou@outlook.com
Happy Hobi 🌼🌞 day!

Sharing Time
Once upon a time...
We've all heard that magical line. It usually started a fairy tale. It would take us to a wonderful place in a fantasy world.
Stories, we still love them.
Let's imagine we are entering the Magic Shop. We don't really know what we will find. We've never been here before. It's all so very exciting and new. We have entered the world of BTS. This is the beginning of ARMY'S story..........your story. A love story for sure.
We want to hear your story. Don't be shy. Every one's relationship with BTS is a story to be told. Some fell in love with the first song. Some fell in love with the first video. With some, it just took awhile. But, eventually love was inevitable.
This is my story. My journey with BTS was gradual. I didn't know I was going to land down the rabbit hole. I just thought I was listening to new music. It started back in 2011. My very sweet Granddaughter started asking, "Can I listen to KPop?" Me: "HUH?... What's that? (yes, I'm a noona ARMY) She wasn't into BTS, at first, because she thought they were too young. ( She's the same age as V and Jimin) By the time they debuted, we had been listening to KPop for awhile. We traveled from Arkansas to NYC to attend a KCon. BTS was there but she missed the fan meeting. (Something she regrets to this day) I was still, just along for the ride. I didn't really know much about them at this time. ( OK, I now, regret not seeing them too😟) BTS was still very new. My daughter and Granddaughter were both becoming fans. Me? I started listening closer to their music, watching some music videos. Yes, they were very cute. I couldn't tell them apart. Seven members in one group!?..... Isn't that a lot? WOW!! Could they dance!!
Fast forward to 2018, we all have traveled to Chicago to see them in concert. Me, just going for the fun of the trip. By now, I know their names. I have a favorite member; well, maybe two.
I am playing their music on my Alexia speaker. ( Alexia is learning about BTS too😅😂🤣)
When my Granddaughter gets to go to a soundcheck, I'm kinda jealous. I vow that the next time they come to the states I'm going to see them. I can now identify each member by their smiles or eyes. I'm falling HARD. I LOVE IDOL!!! OMG, can I really be in love with seven young men from South Korea?
I will admit that I'm obsessed. I'm living in the rabbit hole of BTS and very, very happy. They make me happy, their music, their beautiful souls,their love for ARMY.
BTS, how do I love thee?
Let me count the ways. (Well, there are too many)
I'll have to leave those for another day 💜
PS.
Oh yes, I saw them four times of the six concerts, in the USA, this year. Still wanting more.......
Please, share with us your story, we're listening... 🌜🦎

Guess what? We have some fun facts (we think) that we'd like to share with you, occasionally, A.R.M.Y.! The first is going back to our roots, a little bit. And it's about the name Bangtan Sonyeondan. That's 방탄소년단 in Korean. The name translates roughly to Bulletproof BoyScouts, which is why they were called the bulletproof boys, too.
JHope is in charge of explaining the name, and he's got it down cold, now. He says: "The meaning of Bangtan is to guard against something. So [our name] means that we boldly defend our music and our value/worth." Great, huh?! In the summer of 2017, BigHit released a statement saying that they were extending BTS's name to include Beyond The Scene. Since they were moving forward, and chasing their dreams instead of settling for reality. It holds the meaning of protecting youths from prejudice.
Since they are bulletproof, they originally used the image of a bulletproof vest as their logo. They changed to the current one along with expanding the name, in 2017.
Now you know! ❄👑
Let's Learn About BTS
One thing we love about being BTS fans is the fandom they've created, A.R.M.Y. We're happily part of that fandom and want to share our experiences with you. In that spirit, we would like to share some YouTube videos that we've enjoyed.
The first one gives you an idea how well our guys are being received at home now, and it's called "WHAT DO KOREANS THINK OF BTS? (2019)" by KOREA NOW. ❄👸
All ya playa haters, you should love yo self!
Hey Army! We noticed there was a disturbance in the force this weekend, and you made some fantastic responses to it. Great job!
BTS's success has led to other people's success, including previously unknown (relatively) YouTubers and web article writers. There will, unfortunately, be more instances of people using Bangtan for their own gain. I don't even think the boys would mind others getting a leg up, with them. But some people can only be envious, never appreciative. So it was wonderful to see the response from Armys all over the world, this weekend!
Surely, we were angry after certain things were said. Who wouldn't be? But to see our fandom come together in a positive way was inspiring. The #cypherparty on Twitter" and the streaming parties to raise the cyphers in the charts were brilliant ideas. And we're here for it, Armys! 👏👏 One of the truly incredible and unique things about BTS is their positive message and approach to everything. So it's amazing when that translates to fandom and our behaviours, too. Keeping in mind how they'd want to see us is probably a good idea whenever dealing with fandom issues. Thinking of constructive ways to express our unhappiness is near Namjoon-level genius. Rather than just sending hate comments, it may be as satisfying to politely request apologies. Sometimes, there are extremes and we may choose to report the problem. There are always ways to do that on any platform, correctly. Or, if you think it's warranted, to BigHit directly. Even kindly write to employers and let them know of our displeasure. There've also been outreaches, in the past, to help educate some people who couldn't understand BTS.
What kind of responses did you like? Any examples you want to share? Any ideas you have for the future? Let us know! We're happy to share ideas. Overall, it was really fabulous to see the anger and hurt turned into fun and fruitful action. We noticed, Army! You nice, Keep going! ❄️👸🏼
