ARMY is RICH
R – Respect
Respect BTS's boundaries, choices, and privacy. Respect fellow ARMY, even when they experience BTS differently than you do.
I – Inclusivity
ARMY is wonderfully diverse, spanning every gender, age, culture, and background. Celebrate those differences, reject gatekeeping, and help create a space where everyone feels they belong.
C – Consideration
Think before you act. A careless comment or invasive question can ripple negativity through the fandom. Before posting, ask yourself: Would I say this face-to-face? How would I feel if someone said it to me?
H – Honesty
Be real, not rude. Constructive conversations are welcome; tearing down BTS or other fans isn't. Avoid rumors, unverified claims, and cruel critiques. When you make a mistake, own it, learn, and do better.
Purple Principles:
13 Ways to Stay Gold
Being ARMY isn't about following a list of rules—it's about living the values that protect BTS and strengthen our community. These thirteen principles offer a practical guide for everyday fandom.
💜 1. Respect BTS as Artists and People
Support their music. Respect their choices. Remember they're human first.
💜 2. Honor Their Privacy
Don't pry into personal lives, share private information, or track their whereabouts.
💜 3. Respect Fellow ARMY
Different fans have different journeys. Welcome, don't gatekeep.
💜 4. Follow Official Guidelines
Concerts, fan events, and Weverse all have rules. Follow them.
💜 5. Avoid Sasaeng Content
Don't view, share, or encourage invasive photos, videos, or leaked schedules.
💜 6. Keep Online Spaces Respectful
Leave thoughtful comments. Don't spam, demand, or harass.
💜 7. Think Before You Post
Ask yourself: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
💜 8. Support in Your Own Way
Whether you stream, collect, create, or simply listen—you belong.
💜 9. Credit Creators
Respect artists, translators, and editors. Keep watermarks intact and ask permission when needed.
💜 10. Avoid Fan Wars
Celebrate BTS without attacking other artists or fandoms.
💜 11. Celebrate Their Korean Identity
Appreciate BTS's language, culture, and heritage instead of expecting them to adapt to yours.
💜 12. Don't Feed the Drama
Block, report, and move on. Trolls thrive on attention.
💜 13. Protect the Bond
Everything you do should strengthen the trust between BTS and ARMY—not weaken it.
