💜 “Happy ARMY Day~♥” — BTS V Sends a Global Message to Fans
BTS’s V didn’t forget to celebrate the birthday of the group’s beloved fandom, ARMY. On July 9, he posted two touching photos on Weverse with the caption:
“해피 아미데이. 오늘 하루 제일 행복하게 보내세요.”
(“Happy ARMY Day. Please spend today as the happiest day ever.”)
One of the photos featured V making a flower pose, gazing lovingly toward the camera, while the other showed him holding a wine bottle in a classy Parisian setting. Fans instantly recognized the scene from a recent Celine fashion show dinner, where he was spotted alongside Park Bo-gum, Suzy, and Celine’s creative director.
🌟 Why July 9th Is Special for ARMY
July 9, 2013 — the official day “ARMY” was named. It was chosen by fan votes over “Bangwool,” and it has since become a symbol of unwavering loyalty. The name ARMY (Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth) represents the unbreakable bond between BTS and fans, like body armor and soldiers—always side by side.
Over the past 12 years, that bond has only grown stronger. V himself has played a pivotal role in deepening this connection. Remember “I Purple You”? That heartfelt phrase he coined in 2016 is now BTS’s symbolic color, turning stadiums worldwide into waves of purple love.
💬 Global Fans React: “Taehyung, You’re the Heart of ARMY”
ARMYs worldwide flooded the comments:
- “Thank you for always remembering us 💜”
- “You never forget. You always show love in the most beautiful ways.”
- “Happy ARMY Day, and thank you for making it extra special, Tae.”
🗓️ What’s Next?
With BTS preparing a full-group comeback and world tour in 2026, this year’s ARMY Day feels more meaningful than ever. As we wait for the reunion, moments like these remind us why the bond between BTS and ARMY is truly one-of-a-kind.
