The Resume

    (January 9, 2013 BC- )
    Official name for BTS fans worldwide
    Abbreviation for ‘Adorable Representative MC for Youth’

Why they might be annoying:

    Another fandom names themselves ‘ARMY.’
    They give the dyads within the band ‘ship’ names (ie: Jimin plus Jungkook = ‘Jikook,’ Suga plus J-Hope = ‘Sope’).
    They compare Suga’s looks to that of a cat’s and even nickname him ‘Lil Meow Meow.’
    They buy up things they see Jungkook wears or uses (clothes, body care products, drinks...etc.), including $1800 Prada boots.
    They get called ‘clowns’ when they fall victim to practical jokes from either band members or BigHit Entertainment (band’s production company).
    BigHit ‘clowned’ them by announcing a new video teaser in a form of a countdown, then directing them an advertisement to follow the band on Spotify.
    They would have McDonald's selling out Chicken McNuggets everywhere when the restaurant promoted the McDonald's BTS Meal, which featured the nuggets. (Spring 2021).
    They notice tiny details in social media photos that would go unnoticed among non fans (ie. in a photo of Jin prepping dinner, there was a reflection of a shirtless Jungkook taking a photo in a metal bowl).

Why they might not be annoying:

    AmIAnnoying.com writer battyx3 is a member and has written the profiles of all seven individual members.
    They matched the band’s $1 million donation to the Black Lives Matter campaign in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
    During that same time, they used images of the band to flood out the ‘White Lives Matter’ hashtag on social media, particularly Twitter and Instagram.
    They paid to watch the band’s livestreamed performances during the 2020/2021 pandemic.
    Jungkook has their name and symbol tattooed on his right hand.
    Many non-Korean fans took an interest in learning about South Korean culture, including speaking Korean.
    The lightsticks they use at the band’s concerts are called Army Bombs.
    V clowned them through Twitter announcing he would tweet a picture of himself post shower; he delivered, but it was a childhood bath time photo.
    Celebrity members include wrestler John Cena, Halsey, James Corden , Jimmy Fallon and Kamala Harris.
    They span the entire globe bringing KPop outside of South Korea.
    They buy up the band's concert tickets selling out full stadium shows in a matter of minutes.
    They made ‘Butter’ the fastest music video ever to acquire 100 million views (under 24 hours) on YouTube, as of May 21, 2021.
    BTS released the single and video ‘Permission to Dance’ as a birthday gift for them on July 9, 2021. (battyx3 likes the previous single 'Butter' more!)
