BTS is without a doubt one of the most well-known artists in the world, and this isn’t just for K-Pop. Nonetheless, with such widespread renown and acclaim, there will always be critics who have no valid justifications for their views. A video of an anti-BTS placard recently went viral, but ARMYs have reacted the best.

An ARMY (@voguesfetish) in London tweeted a video of a placard driving around the capital city with the words “#STOPBTS” and the faces of all the members on it, which went viral. The placard was carried by a black fan and was quite visible. A closer look revealed the members’ faces in greater clarity, as well as the hashtag “STOP BTS” printed in large white letters, as per Koreaboo.

Armys are on the move to protect BTS!

Obviously, after the video was posted, ARMYs couldn’t stop themselves from commenting on the sign. Many others commented on how selfish it was for the individual who had paid money to express their unfavorable feelings towards the group.

If there’s one thing ARMYs are known for, it’s finding creative ways to keep the group safe. They utilized their humor to turn a positive into a negative when the video was posted. Despite the fact that the hashtag “STOP BTS” is perceived as negative, fans put their own extensions to the statement to highlight the members’ positive qualities.

One person even modified it to Jin’s famous term “STOBIT.” Despite prejudice towards the group, the ARMYs have found a mature and amusing method to show the critics that they are incorrect.

Many individuals claimed that the person who bought the sign was petty, while others claimed that it is usual for people to criticize great performers. Many joked, however, that their attempt to dismiss the group was essentially a free advertising for BTS, making it counterproductive.
