More than 580 people joined the company on the same day, and even though the official recruitment of the 5th Ami has been completed, fandom inflows are steadily taking place. BTS, which has had one million fans since its debut in 2013, celebrated and celebrated its 1 millionth anniversary with fans through a congratulatory bulletin board. On the 27th, Naver Love Live!! Channel exceeded 10 million subscribers. Since the channel was created in July 2015, 526 images have been uploaded, with cumulative playback of 800 million and hearts of 25.4 billion. It is a space where you can meet various contents such as web entertainment 'Run away bulletproof' and real-time Love Love Live!! communication, and it became a channel of interest of domestic and foreign K-pop fans. Naver held a lighting event called 'VBTS 10 million' on the exterior of the Bundang office building for the BTS, and held an event to provide coins to fans who left messages of celebration and support.
BTS fandom was also active on YouTube, ranking first and third on the K-pop YouTube channel, which grew the most in the first half of this year based on the number of new subscribers. The agency channel 'ibighit', where the official music video comes up, has the largest number of new subscribers in the first half of the year. In December last year, the total number of subscribers exceeded 10 million, followed by more than 6 million overseas subscribers in the first half of this year, boasting the highest number of new overseas subscribers among the top 10 K-pop channels. BTS' behind-the-scenes channel 'BANGTANTV' also ranked third in the most grown K-pop channel. Rehearsals, backstages, and direct-cam footage have been uploaded, and recently, it has increased its subscription by airing YouTube's original content "Bun the Stage." Twitter Followers have surpassed 15 million. In October last year, it was 9 million Followers, but in less than a year, 6 million people subscribed and proved the global interest of BTS.
As soon as the BTS online Goods sales agency 'Big Hit Shop' started pre-sale of the cheering pole 'Amibam' version 3 on the 27th, the server was paralyzed. Concert ticketing is often on the portal site real-time search terms, but it has also created an unusual event that decorates real-time search terms with Goods sales. Ha Tae-keung, a member of the Bareunmirae Party, also borrowed the power of a million amis, and succeeded in publicizing his views by referring to BTS as an example of unfair military service exemption list. Ha Tae-keung appeared on MBC radio 'Lee Bum's poetry book' broadcast on the 27th, and said, "It was a completely unfair list when I looked at the list of military service exemptions for about 40 international conventions. There are classical music competitions like violin, but there are no popular music, so it is an example of BTS who is the first Billboard. There is also ballet, but there is no B-boy, and there is no first place in the play, but there is no first place in the movie. "
The growth of BTS is expected to be done with fans, and it is already expected to see what kind of performance it will perform through the last 'Love Your Self' series 'Gold - Anser' album on August 24th. "Everything we did was made by fans," the members said in an earlier interview. "It is not important to record, but I am glad that the efforts have been recognized."
