J-Hope Moves ARMY to Tears with Honest Words About Their Place in BTS's Hearts
On the 28th (local time), BTS successfully wrapped up the fourth concert of their Las Vegas stop with the enthusiastic participation of more than 60,000 fans at Allegiant Stadium. For over two hours, the global group set the entire venue ablaze with breathtaking performances, stable live vocals, and energy that barely seemed to fade despite their intense schedule.
Even though the concert ended quite late, J-Hope still appeared on Weverse Live to chart briefly with fans as a final goodbye after four nights of performances. The day before, RM had also held a similar livestream discussing the production process behind the album ARIRANG, sparking heated discussions across social media.
Today, however, J-Hope's livestream felt much calmer. He was seen wearing casual clothes and removing his makeup while carefully reading fans' comments. When one fan asked, "J-Hope, how are you?" the idol softly replied, "I'm good, but I'm a little bit exhausted."
However, the most notable moment came when he read a fan comment that said, "BTS, our forever artists." J-Hope's response immediately overwhelmed fans with emotion. He sincerely replied, "We've been feeling this too. You are artists too, truly. And I'm your fan. I'm so proud of you guys! And so grateful."
Why are you crying? It's just a clip

It was only a short sentence, yet it quickly spread across social media because of the way J-Hope placed fans in such a special position. Instead of simply receiving love from ARMY, he referred to fans themselves as "artists" and even stated that he was their fan as well. His immediately and natural reaction when talking about ARMYs' place in BTS' hearts made fans even more emotional.
Many people often think the relationship between idols and fandoms is one-sided, with fans always being the ones who give more. However, BTS and ARMY have proven the opposite: their relationship is mutual and enduring. One side patiently waits, loves, and supports unconditionally, while the other continuously works hard, dedicates itself fully, and finds every possible to return that love through music, performances, and genuine sincerity.
Fans immediately flooded social media withe emotional reactions to J-Hope's statement: "I've never seen any artists as devoted to their fans as BTS," "Stan a group that stans you back," "The reciprocal love is unmatched, fr," "Loving BTS has never felt one-sided," "He always says this, that he's so proud of us, and I feel it deeply every time," "I love you beyond words, my tannies," "BTS made a family, a legacy, and a home for millions," and "Oh, my precious Hobi. I love him so much," among many others.
In fact, this was not the first time J-Hope or BTS emphasized ARMYs' importance to their success. Right after BTS won Artist of the Year at the AMAs, Jimin posted on Weverse, "Our ARMYs received an award," alongside a photo of the award card he personally edited by replacing the word "BTS" with "ARMY."
Not stopping there, during the third night of the Las Vegas concerts—held just one day after the AMAs—Jimin sent the entire stadium into a frenzy when he said during the opening stage, "ARMY got an award. We did it. We want to give it all back to you." At the end of the concert, RM enthusiastically brought it up once again in front of tens of thousands of fans, shouting, "2026, the love of the American Music Awards goes to... ARMY!!!"
The leader later emphasized that all the awards, the resp—ectful treatment they received from the AMAs, and the fact that "everyone—every legend, every staff member—was so nice and kind to us" were all thanks to the fans: "And we know it's because of you guys... It's all thanks to you, and we'll never forget the night we had at the AMAs. I love you."
This also reminded fans of many older statement BTS made about ARMY following their Billboard Music Awards win years ago. Jimin once stated, "We wouldn't have been able to do what we wanted. ARMY is made have climbed up with us... They are our everything." Meanwhile, J-Hope has repeatedly emphasized that "ARMY is everything to BTS."
Jungkook also once famously described the relationship between BTS and their fans with the phrase, "I smile, you smile." Meanwhile, in an interview with Audacity Music, the members described ARMY as "everything," "home," and their greatest source of strength.
BTS has never forgotten to credit ARMY in every acceptance speech, nor have they failed to acknowledge the crucial role ARMY has played throughout their career. To them, BTS has never been only about the seven members—it has always been BTS and ARMY together. This synergy is exactly why BTS's 13-year journey has remained so strong and continues to shine so brightly.
