BTS FAN OR STAN???

In this article I want to clear between a fan and Stan 

First,we have a knowledge about the difference between fan and Stan

What is Stan??

The term describes an extremely or excessively passionate and devoted fan—and in the 20 years since the song charted, it has come to refer often times to someone who openly displays their adoration on social media.

This Stan is the person who blindly follow his idol ingnoring the fact whether he has a good or bad influence on their life.

What is Fan??

A fan or fanatic, sometimes also termed an aficionado or enthusiast, is a person who exhibits strong interest or admiration for something or somebody, such as a celebrity or a sport or a sports team, a genre, a politician, a book, a movie, a video game or an entertainer. Collectively, the fans of a particular object or person constitute its fanbase or fandom

BTS CALL THEIR FAN AS "ARMY"

A.R.M.Y" stands for "Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth" and it carries quite some meaning behind it, given that "Army" is associated with the military, body armor, and how those two things are always together, the fandom name basically means that fans will always be together with BT

But why I have choose only BTS Band only there are many people Stan and fan but the toxicity level of BTS Stan is on another level.

If you try to defame or just saying something bad about there Bts the can take strict action against you and with strictly I mean very strict .

 BTS FAN SCAM!!

Judy Bae, 19, a member of the global fan club of South Korean boy band BTS known as ARMY never thought she would be exposed to financial fraud risks until she received a Twitter message from a fellow member asking for money in December last year.

Pretending as a teen ARMY member, the man who turned out to be in his 20s, claimed that he need money so that he could buy new albums or rare photo images of BTS members. He said he would pay her back soon, but never kept that promise.Bae sent over 1 million won ($812) to her fellow BTS fan. But it was too late for her to realize the money she sent out of solidarity was irretrievable. 

“I trusted him and have sent the money in several installments so far, but he never paid me back, ignoring my calls and messages,” she said.

In fear of telling her parents of losing money, Bae researched online and discovered she was not the only one.

Bae is one of a number of teenagers who have been victims of financial fraud schemes targeted at young idol fans.

A 27-year-old youth counselor identified only by her surname Jung launched a Twitter community in March to seek relief measures for teen victims. The community now has around 30 members who claim to be victims of unexpected financial fraud. Around 70 percent of them are underage with the total damage reaching some 13 million won.

As India grapples with a second wave of the coronavirus pandemic with infection numbers now topping 18.9 billion, social media has been flooded with appeals for assistance as medical systems are overwhelmed.

Help on Saturday came from one unlikely source – the fans of the record-breaking South Korean K-pop group BTS. Called BTS Army, the Indian arm of the band’s fanbase announced it had raised more than 2 million rupees ($29,000) in just one day for its #CovidReliefForIndia campaign.

“Thank you everyone who donated and everyone who amplified this initiative. Right now we have crossed our initial goal and will extend it again soon,” @BangtanIndia tweeted on Saturday.

“As we have collected funds more than our initial plan we all are searching for more such initiatives/orgs which are working on ground level providing help in every way possible and are looking for financial help. We also need help from all of you to do research on your own for your region,” it said.

Bangtan is a reference to the seven-member group BTS, which stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan or Bangtan Boys, the global K-pop phenomenon named by Time magazine last year as Entertainer of the Year.
