Why Are BTS Fans Called ARMY?

BTS officially christened their fandom as ARMY on July 9, 2013, following the release of their debut single album "2 Kool 4 Skool." The group's leader, RM, revealed on the Jimmy Fallon show that they had contemplated naming the fandom "The Bells." This suggestion arose due to a linguistic connection between the Korean word for "bell" and "Bang," as BTS stands for Bangtan in Korean. RM elaborated that the sound of bells aligns with the group's rallying cry of "Make some noise," adding to the appeal of the name. However, RM expressed relief that they ultimately settled on ARMY, considering it a superior choice.
