BTS’ V sent a sweet congratulatory message to fans celebrating ARMY’s birthday on July 9th.
His message from Paris reminded us of the strong bond we have had with our fans for the past 12 years.On this day, V posted two photos on the global fan community Weverse with the captions, “Happy ARMY Day,” and “Have the happiest day today.”

In the photo, V is looking at the camera in a flower pose in a restaurant in Paris, and in another photo, he is holding a wine bottle and greeting with gentle eyes.Fans read V’s mind in these two photos.

This day was the day BTS ‘official fan club name,’ ARMY ‘, was born.The name’ ARMY ‘, which was decided on July 9, 2013 through a vote by the members, means that BTS is always together like an army.
V is the member who knows the meaning better than anyone else.This time, he stayed in Paris and did not forget to spend time with fans even during his schedule of attending fashion shows.
The photos he released appear to have been taken while he was in Paris for a Celine event.

V has always expressed his feelings to his fans in special ways.One of them is’ Borahae(I Purple You)’, which he created himself on stage at a fan meeting in 2016.
At the time, when fans presented the purple Army Bomb event, V left an ending comment saying, “Purple means to trust each other and love each other for a long time.Yes, I just made it.” That one line remains as a language that connects BTS and ARMY to this day.

Since then, purple has become BTS’ unofficial representative color.It has become a signal shared between fans and artists, a symbol of identity and emotion.

BTS is currently preparing an album with a goal of making a comeback in the spring of 2026.After that, they are also planning a world tour to meet fans all over the world.The Earth is expected to turn purple once again.
