In case you were wondering, hate directed at BTS has been around as long as they have. From before their debut they've been criticized for their concept, their talents, their looks, their personalities, you name it. Usually this is from outside the fandom, but not always. One of the worst examples is about our J-Hope. In late November 2014, there were several anti member hashtags circulating online. Unfortunately, one started trending... Kickoutjhopebts. This was after they'd been noticed as rookies of the year and were doing alright for themselves. Our Hobi had been practicing late, apparently, and tweeted this "Late at night when everyone is asleep, this is J-Hope. I was monitoring myself and practicing my dance for the first time in a while, and I'm feeling a lot of things.. I'm really lacking still... I feel like I should work harder , so I'm tweeting a fighting tweet. Fighting, Hope!"
Now if this doesn't break your heart...
Jin and RM were also receiving hate hashtags at the time, and RM responded to J-Hope by tweeting "Let's have strength - RM". Then Jimin tweeted a post of himself spelling out JHOPE with his body. He wrote, " I'm posting a hope tweet for the Hope-hyung that I love that's become exhausted with practice early in the morning!
Have strength, hyung-nim! Let's have strength, Bangtan kekeke". Jin joined the exchanges by tweeting, "Give me strength too, since I'm the oldest hyung ??".
As you can see they gained strength from each other. Hoseok told us that he'd left the group, pre-debut. But he came back because he had such faith in the other 6 guys. Together they can do anything, especially with our J-Hope in the middle. He is Bangtan's rock, our amazing choreo leader, rapper, vocalist, award -winning dancer, and mood maker. He always references his family; mother, father, sister... and his puppy, as his most precious things, but we know his 6 brothers are included in that, too.
Don't worry about that horrible time now, but know that our Hoseok can overcome many things because of the strong, wonderful man he is. Despite the many fears he professes, he's balanced by the love around him. His family, and that includes us by extension, will always have his back and he knows it. The responding hashtag ARMY used back then was #JHopeYourePerfect. And that's still true today.
Side note: let's try not to join in on these hate tags, ARMY, for anyone. Whether it's another group, member, person... it's destructive. No matter the reason or circumstances. And we've seen the results of too much pressure on other idols in the past. 💜💜

I figured since it's Hobi day, we could talk a little about our amazing dancer, rapper J-Hope. Let's talk about his kindness, his charitableness, his caring nature. First off, he's an essential part of BTS (as they all are). His contributions to the team are limitless but that's not we're talking about today. I think, today we can just focus on the truly nice guy our Jung Hoseok is.
The thing that occurs to me when we talk of Hobi's sweetness is his love for the members. The way he can make Yoongi smile with his extraness. Or how he can take the pressure from Jin by being funny. There's love and admiration for RM that you can see in his eyes. And, of course, his adoration for the maknaes shines through very brightly. They're his personal cuddle buddies and comforters, his very own collection of trolls and inspiration. All together, the 7 are perfect compatibility with J-Hope in the middle.
He's also commonly expressed his love for his family, his mom and dad, and his sister. That's something you don't hear from most guys enough, but our Hobi never forgets. And his love for his dog, Mickey, proves that his beautiful heart extends to all things.
After you talk about the obvious, there's his love for Army. And he's second to none when it comes to showering us with the abundance of affection he has. His happy dances, performed for our amusement, spraying hearts in all directions, are sure to make any Army's heart glow brighter. His willingness to try things he's afraid of or doesn't like, just to keep us entertained, is purely selfless. There's so much he's endured for our sake. 😁 poor baby! But that's a show of his love, too. I've never gotten to see him up close, personally, but this video conveys how much he wants to share with us, I think. A crying girl in the crowd, moved by their performance, captured his attention. He's in the middle of a huge concert, but he gives this girl the only thing he can, to comfort her. Whether he thought she was happy or sad, he wanted to let her know they share those feelings. Giving her his bag, a key "Hobi" point, was a wonderful gesture of love and sharing that was probably a split second decision. But it really strongly points to his nature of caring. How lucky we are, Army, to have Hoseok in our lives!!! That's enough gushing for today 😄 but if you have any story to tell about our Sunshine, or fanart, or just want to agree, our messages are open. You can also always email us at bts.armyxyou@outlook.com
Happy Hobi 🌼🌞 day!

Team Karamel is still new and building our basics, but there's a vastly important topic we couldn't let lie for long. So we'd like to start talking about being kind. Thankfully, BTS leads the way for us in these things and they launched their renewed campaign with UNICEF last week. The campaign is against bullying but at it's core, this is about spreading kindness to yourself and everyone else. Because that's all it really takes, being kind. And Loving Yourself.
We'll focus on kindness this week by talking about each member and how they exemplify kindness, in our eyes. Also how they've faced the opposite and what they've done to overcome it. We ask that you remember how well BTS handles hate directed their way and try to emulate it. When you encounter negativity, lets fight it with positivity. Hate messages to any member individually, or to them as a whole, don't engage. Instead of spreading the madness, maybe try to counter with things you love about the member or group. And, of course, report everything appropriately! There's Bighit if it's a serious threat they need to be aware of. Use your discretion so that they're able to get to important issues. Report problems on each platform appropriately. If it's hate messages, report as such, so our reports are noticed as helpful. Lastly, IF companies that BTS are dealing with behave inappropriately, we want to be as polite and professional as the boys would be. Express your displeasure through appropriate channels, and in proper ways. Doesn't mean we can't organize other means of expression, as a fandom, but let's be known as a reflection of our idols, ARMY! We can do it!
Team Karamel 🍮

Saengil chukkha hamnida...
Happy happy birthday, our youngest! May you be bright and happy forever. I wish i had a more creative way to express my good wishes for you, but this will have to do. I'm so proud of the person you have been, as well as the person you're becoming. It's hard to believe you're only 22 in international years, since I've seen you growing up for so long. Yet, it is only in the last year that you've begun to really take on the look of a man, not our shy, innocent baby bunny.
And it's momentarily sad to see that sweet fresh face go. But the sadness is short-lived. There's still wonder in your expression at the new things you continue to encounter. And there's still caring for the people and environment around you. There's more humor, though, sometimes at your hyungs' expense. And there's definitely a little more devil in your wandering gaze... That's ok because your personality needs to fill out, like your anatomy. Your talents have grown minimally because they were already outstanding, not much room for improvement there. But your skills in using those talents continues to expand. As does the sheer amount of talents you possess. Smh still truly, the Golden Maknae.
Lastly, I'm happy to keep watching from the back as a proud and thankful fan, as you keep on growing. Becoming the man you are, from the melding of 6 other influences, into your own true personality. Hopefully blessed and successful in whatever means you choose to be. Happy with whomever you choose to surround yourself with. And healthy, in all ways, for a long long time.
Happy birthday, Jeon Jungkook! You are truly wished this by millions around the world and me!! ❄👸

Guess what? We have some fun facts (we think) that we'd like to share with you, occasionally, A.R.M.Y.! The first is going back to our roots, a little bit. And it's about the name Bangtan Sonyeondan. That's 방탄소년단 in Korean. The name translates roughly to Bulletproof BoyScouts, which is why they were called the bulletproof boys, too.
JHope is in charge of explaining the name, and he's got it down cold, now. He says: "The meaning of Bangtan is to guard against something. So [our name] means that we boldly defend our music and our value/worth." Great, huh?! In the summer of 2017, BigHit released a statement saying that they were extending BTS's name to include Beyond The Scene. Since they were moving forward, and chasing their dreams instead of settling for reality. It holds the meaning of protecting youths from prejudice.
Since they are bulletproof, they originally used the image of a bulletproof vest as their logo. They changed to the current one along with expanding the name, in 2017.
Now you know! ❄👑
