ARMY

 Dive into the sea of purple with the fandom of BTS, ARMY. As a fan myself I wasn’t particularly inclined to participate in the fandom, that was until I found out the benefits of being a part of a community like ARMY. In this blog I will go through the access of charity, community, and fan information through this fandom.

Being a part of army introduces fans to various forms of charity work in the name of BTS. Fans regularly organize donation drives, environmental projects, scholarship funds, food banks, fundraising, and more. For example a fan run face book page, US BTS ARMY, holds an annual fundraiser to support kids all over the world. These activities reflect the values of BTS represented in their music, that so often attract caring fans. Participating in these projects even a little bit would allow you to create a positive impact in the real world.

Beyond their music, ARMY offers a real sense of community. Fans connect through shared experiences like rushing to get merch online, trading photo cards, attending concerts, and reacting to fan made edits together. ARMY does their best to care for eachother at concerts, for example freebies are handed out, and trash is picked up by fans to ensure fans like themselves enjoy the BTS experience. Even online fans constantly encourage each other in collaborative activities like random dance challenges, and dance covers. In the comments of this Black Swan dance cover, by UNLXMITED, you can find tons of supportive words from other fans. Joining ARMY Is a place where you can feel supports and connected.

ARMY opens their arms all new fans, long time fans make becoming a full fledged ARMY as easy as pie. The website US BTS ARMY, is a fan fun site that organizes translation pages, comeback schedules, news updates, concert etiquette, and more so that new ARMY have no trouble integrating into the fanbase. What could quickly become overwhelming becomes exciting due to the already built supper system designed to help people feel more comfortable with the fandom. ARMY doesn’t only consume BTS content, but will teach you how to become a participating fan, making the fandom so much more welcoming. 

In conclusion, ARMY is a charitable, supportive, handover that is completely welcoming to anyone who wishes to join, so maybe you should give it a shot.

Who am I?

 My name is Madeline Rineer. I live in Lancaster, about 2-2.5 hours from here. I am an honors student and a Mandarin Chinese language major.  In my free time, I like to dance. When my nails aren't too long, I also like to practice the piano and play the guitar. I have been dancing for 15 years and playing music for about 8 years.  I've tried a bunch of different instruments like the violin and ukulele, but my main two are piano and guitar. As for dance, I've studied ballet, tap, jazz, and contemporary, as well as Horton, Limon, and Graham modern technique. I've also been dancing en pointe for almost 4 years now.  Lastly, I love to work out at the gym and spend time with my cat.

Hi, my name is Dat Le. I am a freshman at Bloomsburg University, and my current major that I changed to is Biomedical Science with a Pre-med concentration. I live in the city of  Wilkes-Barre which is pretty close to Bloomsburg so I could have commuted, but I chose to dorm and see the real college experience. Every since high school, I've enjoyed playing volleyball during and outside of school so I chose to also play in club volleyball I college. I originally grew up in Vietnam and moved to the states in 2013. My last surprising fact is that I recently went to New York for the first time the day before I came back from break.

First Tier II tournament win!     Hello, my name is Carter Brown. I'm from Pottsville, PA, around an hour drive away. I am a second year student, and I changed to an EGGS major in the professional geology concentration last semester, formerly a chemistry major.      I enjoy video games and I am part of the Smash & Games club on campus. If you come to Kehr Union room 231 in the late afternoon or evening on Friday, chances are you will see me engaging in some sort of video game at the Smash & Games club. I won a Smash Bros. tournament there last semester, which was when the picture on the right was taken! I also enjoy bowling. I often go bowling on Thursday nights with other members of the bowling club. I have also recently gotten into Star Wars, around a year ago. I often watch a couple Star Wars movies whenever I go home for break. I watched The Rise of Skywalker a couple days before I returned to college, and while it wasn't the best, I enjoyed it and I...
