BTS has a special way of showing their love and respect for the creativity of their fans, including fan art and fanfiction. They know that their fans, called ARMY, work hard to create these pieces as a way to express their admiration and connection to the group.
When it comes to fan art, BTS often shares or reacts to it during live broadcasts or on social media. They have been seen praising the talent of ARMYs who draw or paint them, sometimes even keeping fan-made gifts or using them as decorations. This makes fans feel appreciated and motivates them to keep creating. The members have mentioned how touched they are by the effort fans put into capturing their personalities and emotions through art.
Fanfiction is a bit different because it is usually shared within the fandom rather than directly with BTS. While the members do not openly talk about reading fanfiction, they seem to understand its importance in the fan community. Fanfiction allows fans to imagine new stories about BTS, whether they are based on real-life events or completely fictional scenarios. Some fans even write alternate universes inspired by BTS’s music videos or concepts, which shows how deeply connected they are to BTS’s creative world.
BTS has also indirectly supported fanfiction by creating official content that feels like fan stories, such as their “Bangtan Universe” (BU) and BTS World game. These projects blur the line between official storytelling and fan creativity, encouraging ARMYs to explore their own ideas further.
Overall, BTS appreciates their fans’ creativity because it reflects the strong bond between them and ARMY. Whether it’s through art or writing, these works show how much fans care about BTS, and in return, BTS continues to inspire them with their music and messages.
