BTS Army Day: Celebrating the Global Fandom Phenomenon

BTS Army Day, officially recognized as ARMY Day, is celebrated on July 9 each year. This special day is dedicated to the fans of the South Korean boy band BTS, known as ARMY. The date was chosen because it corresponds to the day in 2013 when BTS’s fan club was officially formed.

The term ‘ARMY’ stands for 'A Dashboard Of Representative Youth', which means that the fans will represent and support the youth.
