About this Event

APOBANGPO: FOREVER WITH ARMY💜 APOBANGPO: Forever With ARMY
A Celebration of ARMY Anniversary

Hosted by SeoulMatesCLT & Lightstick Bias

Every year, ARMY Anniversary is more than just a date on the calendar—it's a celebration of the incredible community that has grown alongside BTS. It honors the millions of fans around the world who have transformed music into friendship, kindness, hope, and belonging.

APOBANGPO (아포방포) is a beloved phrase shared between BTS and ARMY that means "ARMY Forever, Bangtan Forever." More than a slogan, it is a promise of lasting support, gratitude, and the special bond that connects artists and fans across every stage of life.

This event is dedicated to celebrating that promise.

Whether you became ARMY in 2013 or discovered BTS yesterday, you are part of a story that spans generations, cultures, and continents. Every concert, every comeback, every laugh, every tear, every livestream, every purple ribbon, and every friendship has helped shape this community into something truly extraordinary.

On July 26, we invite you to step into a space filled with purple, music, memories, and the people who understand exactly what BTS means to you.

Together, we'll celebrate not only the music that brought us together, but the friendships we've built, the comfort we've found, and the community we've created.

This is a day to reconnect with old friends, meet new ones, share stories, trade photocards, laugh, sing, celebrate, and create new memories that will last long after the event ends.

Because this community isn't defined by how long you've been a fan—it is defined by the love we share for one another.

No matter your age.
No matter your favorite era.
No matter your bias.
No matter where your BTS journey began.

There will always be a place for you here.

Because APOBANGPO (아포방포) isn't just about forever.

It's about belonging.

It's about choosing kindness.

It's about finding home in one another.

Together, we celebrate every ARMY who has ever smiled because of BTS, found comfort in their music, discovered lifelong friendships through this fandom, or simply needed a reminder that they are never alone.

Thank you for being part of our story.

Thank you for making this community what it is today.

ARMY Forever.
Bangtan Forever.

Borahae. 💜
