@K.Y

Of course the proudest is watching them progress step by step, pushing aside all biases against them and the pressure, using their hard work to reach their goals without getting arrogant or forgetting their original dream. They also love their fans. How can I not be proud? My loves, Bangtan

@果妹，爸爸爱你啊

The thing I’m most proud of is that my idols always work hard on their music. They really live up to their name. Bangtan Sonyeondan, I’m really lucky to be your fan

@장 삼 3333

The proudest is watching their development from the small group at debut to now. Everyone’s hard work is equivalent to their success. I’m really, really proud

@Z_YuxxXuan

The proudest is seeing them grow step by step. I really regret not being their fan from the start. After falling into the rabbit hole (t/n: lit. 入坑 = “entering a ditch” used for becoming a fan of sth) during INU, I watched them grow till now and I’m really proud. It’s the feeling where someone asks you about something and you can’t stop talking about it. My idols are too awesome. I want to become better for them too. I hope Tan (in chinese, shortening a name to 1 syllable is cute/endearing) will never have a finish line and will keep getting better

@CorrineAunique

The proudest is, no matter how high they fly or how amazing their achievements are, music is always first for them and they always thank ARMY. They never forgot about their original dream because of their achievements. That’s why I respect them and also the reason for their success. Bangtan’s achievements now are only the beginning. These seven musicians will be even more successful in the future.

@舟

Hard work is another name for miracles. They are the physical incarnation of hard work and they’re creating miracles

@BV_emojiIII

The thing I’m most proud of is that they’re called Bangtan Sonyeondan and I’m called ARMY ❤

@论论砸

Every song has a deep meaning, every song is Bangtan’s understanding of life. They put their views on life, the world, living, youth, love, and dreams into their albums. To our Bangtan, these songs aren’t just songs. They’re the recordings of their growth. Love you 7

@JingRou Park

The most touching thing after becoming their fan…it’s probably how no matter how popular they become, they’re still the Ah-Tan (t/n: 阿 “ah” is added to a nickname to make it endearing. ARMY is also written with the same character as 阿米 “ah-mi”) that I know. They’ll still laugh and be as loud as 70 people together. When they debuted in 2013, I was 13. I became a fan around September and it just opened up a whole new world. I didn’t think they would become like this. From the new artist award, first win, first daesang to now BB200 top 1 and hot 10 all make me proud. I hope mi (t/n: short for ARMY) will become more and more successful just like them

@Kymin

The proudest is that they’ve always been doing what they like to do. They focus on their music. They’re high-key about music and low-key about everything else without swaying. You often see them in the news and not in variety shows. Instead of an idol, they’re more like musicians. Their songs and concepts are all sending messages to the listeners. A lot of viewpoints are both relatable and new. I feel a lot seeing them develop like this. I anticipate every comeback because there are always new elements. From not being popular to now, we don’t have to brag. Anyone can see it.

Miracle Boys, I believe Bangtan will become better and better

未己_VV

let me tell you about Record Boys

Fat Egg (t/n: fat egg 胖蛋 is pangdan which sounds similar to bangtan. C-ARMYs use it as a cute nickname)’s journey was really difficult. Back then when antis called them Z-listers (t/n: as opposed to A-listers. literally 18-line as opposed to 1-line), I really cried. I want to say that Bangtan has always been the pride of ARMY. Don’t forget the past. I’ll accompany Fat Egg down the flower road

其其和我

ARMY are Bangtan’s wings

Jth love yourself

As an ARMY, the geges (t/n: oppas) make us proud. At the same time, we need to be just as awesome as the geges!

Enkaer

The only ones who can surpass Bangtan are Bangtan. Thank you for your persistence. ARMY will forever support you

Anpanman

New ARMY, more and more people will discover the attraction of Bangtan!!! BTS add oil!! (t/n: 加油 (jia you) lit. add oil = “fighting”)

GRAY.

My World-tan bombed the music industry

张庆欢

They really spent five years to go bit by bit from nothing to now. The entire path is filled with their blood, sweat and tears
