Dear members of all #Kpop #Fandoms!
I’m a member of Russian BTS fandom since 2014. I’m ARMY from head to toe, and I can't imagine life without my 7 boys. Nice to meet all of you!
Today, I found out about the situation, which occurred in the main BTS fan site, which hurt the feelings of many fans of other groups. And the first thing that I felt - the shame and pain...
I was ashamed because my close people humiliated others, while our fandom is always trying to correspond a positive image of our guys. I was hurt because I couldn’t bring back this words, and because they have broken my pride for our fandom.
Therefore, I want to say on behalf of ARMY around the world, we don’t want this war! We don’t want to belittle others in order to feel stronger! All negative that you find online on behalf of ARMY, has nothing to do with real connoisseurs of BTS! As well as BTS say they are trying to protect people through their music, ARMY are trying to create warm relations between fandoms.
You can don't believe in my words and say, "She's just trying to protect these scoundrels!", but it is not. I just want to say that in every fandom exists members who are a disgrace to other members. And unfortunately, considering ARMY are one family, we are responsible for their words. Therefore, I sincerely apologize to all fans of other fandoms, who were humiliated. I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!
But let's think about why this could happen.
BTS for a long time could not achieve the approval of a public, people belittled them and talked they are not worth anything. If you learn the history of BTS, you will be able to understand all the pain of members. Because all that they write in their lyrics - it's true. Therefore you must open your heart and understand why so many ARMY angry and to have a negative attitude to the others.
Now we are very happy that our boys have risen so high. And many fans lose their heads and don’t notice how they are transformed into the very people who hurt innocent BTS.
And we (unbroken ARMY) will teach them respect and restraint. And I ask you, if you will see the injustice towards your idols in our fandom, ask them to stop and let us know about it. Let us eradicate this evil together rather than work against each other!
I love you! I also hope my feelings are mutual.
XOXO,
P.F.
