Kpop fans in the U.S. in general are a very diverse group. Different races, religions, much broader age range, etc. . On my BTS Noona facebook page we have a member who is 71. I'm 58. I've seen many young women who are Muslim attend Kpop concerts in Dallas/Fort Worth area. Men have started attending male kpop groups. Some are tagging along with girlfriends, wives or children but some are fans too. That is what I like about being a kpop fan in the U.S. we sort of try our best to open to everyone.

I agree and to think that BTS performed to only a few hundred fans in the beginning is really amazing. I feel like a proud mother even though I'm only 25. Thank you BTS, thank you ARMYs. I purple you 💜
