As many of you long time followers know, I am a 64-liner but I rarely post a selfie because when I do, people unfollow me, haha! That's OK...my goal was always to create a safe space for
#DopeOldPeople

to find each other. 💜
*I am on the far right in this pic.
It's funny that every time I mention my age here I lose followers. I actually created this account for OLDER ARMY to find each other because I felt so alone in my early days as an ARMY so that's OK. If this account still helps older ARMY find their tribe then I have a purpose!
The lyric FLOWERWORK is on repeat in my head and has been since the album released. I was curious so I googled it and there are artists that arrange flowers to look like fireworks! Aren't these beautiful?

Since I have so many new followers doing another tweet with age and location. This helps ARMY find other ARMY in their area and age group. Not that age matters but sometimes it's harder for us older ARMY to find each other. I'll start...
I am 59 and live in Boise, Idaho USA
GO!
#BTSARMY
40+ Follow Party!!! Comment your age and location and find other ARMY. I had ZERO age appropriate ARMY friends near me 3 years ago and now I have a lot of friends near me AND around the world. Don't give up - you will find your tribe!
If I have learned anything in my 7 years as ARMY it is when BH is quiet during adversity there is alot of sh*t going on behind the scenes. I trust BTS and I trust BigHit.
Thinking about my
@BTS_twt
journey in the last 2 years. I'm 55 and never happier. I have dreams and goals again. They (and ARMY) did that! Don't ever be ashamed. I own it now. I started redoing my BTS fanroom and it's going to be my happy place. I don't care what others think.
I am the rare person that only uses YT Music to stream because I have been paying for a subscription since it was invented, lol! It's good to see so many plays on each song so I know I am not there alone!
I realized yesterday that when I talk to non-ARMY, especially older people, about
@BTS_twt
and
#BTSARMY
it sounds like I'm in a cult! 😂😂😂. I'm 55 and they look at me like I am an alien.

I still see Kpop fans dealing with the "they look like girls" comments 😒. All I will say to that is, HELLOOOOO - remember the 80s? If this is their argument then Kpop isn't for them and they should just walk away and leave us alone. 🤷♀️
I noticed a lot of the newer ARMY aren't voting in all the things we usually vote on and it might just be that many are unaware. Right now we are voting for MNET Global Popularity Award. I will add some help in this thread for new ARMY.

I'll start a 40+ ARMY Follow Party, haha! I am 57 but I was 53 when I became ARMY and it was SO HARD to find other older ARMY at the time because you all were hiding! Now I find so many of them and even found many in my hometown.
#HappyBirthdayToARMY
Can I purpose something? In the early days we literally tagged
@BTS_twt
on EVERY TWT and that's why they kept winning Top Social Artist and how I found them! What if we just started tagging that account again during the MS? Just a thought!
Every year I buy myself a Blind BTS or BT21 item so I have a surprise Christmas morning because I live alone and I miss surprises. I have been saving this since my trip to the popup store last May. 23 days until Christmas and I get to see who I got!
It is so cool that so many over 40 ARMY are responding to twts. Two years ago you all were hard to find on any social media but each day there are more of us coming out of hiding! You go girls...no matter what decade you were born in! No age limit in
@BTS_twt
's ARMY!
I see some talking about American Hustle Life and the cringey moments. It is an important part of their history so if you can get past the cringe moments it is a really great show and a huge influence on who they become. I have watched it twice so I highly recommend.
I rarely share photos of myself because I am reminded I am getting old and not the 16 year old I feel like inside (well sometimes). Here's the latest pic before I got a haircut. My hair stylist retired last May so I am also growing out to see how much gray I have. No filters 😬
Another "Find your ARMY tribe" post since my engagement is up right now.
Comment your age and location to find other ARMY in your area or age group!
I am now 60 years old and live in Boise, Idaho. I became ARMY in May 2017 so the end of this month is my 7 year ARMYversary!
Lost a handful of followers today. Is it bc b0yc0tters realize I don't support their agenda or bc they saw my "age spot" post and realized I'm 60!? 🤣🤣🤣

Older ARMY, do you ever think about where you were when they were born? '93 was a growth year for me. I had just turned 29 and was in a toxic relationship that ended shortly after he was born. Things got so much better after that! 🤔

Am I just paranoid or are older ARMY afraid to answer those "how old will you be when BTS reunites in 2025?" posts? I feel like I am putting a target on my back when most of the responses are in their 20s or 30s so I just end up skipping those!
@cypherluscious
I am 59 and ARMY for over 6 years. I am loud and proud about it and everyone in my life knows I am ARMY, including my clients. No one in my family even flinched when I got my first tattoo at age 58! #방탄소년단 for life!
💪☺
Are we going there again? Do we all need to take photos of our albums/DVDs/merch to prove ourselves? I mean even LINE FRIENDS, Hyundai and Samsung sales have SOARED because of them. I have an entire ROOM devoted to BTS and I am 60 years old. We have PROOF!
Did anyone else have this long list of things to catch up on when they enlisted and now we are only months away from seeing
#Jin
again and you have barely caught up on anything you had planned?
@BTS_twt
ARMY, I have a request! Today is my unofficial birthday. I was born on Leap Year & Twitter only gives me balloons when it's a leap year. NO BALLOONS from Twitter this year - AGAIN. Can I get HOT Bangtan pics and gifs for my birthday instead? 😈🤣
It seems silly to others but this was the most life changing day of my life and that's saying something at my age. I was 53, I wasn't particularly happy and my life had turned gray. They brought color and a desire to learn back to my life!
@BTS_twt
Since everyone enjoyed the smoking hot Jin pic yesterday, I will try to find some of the Yoongi ones I have for today. I can't take credit for any of the photos I share. I have just been saving them to my desktop for the last 7 years so I love to share and wreck you all too! 🤭
Since we are talking about age today been thinking about this alot. I grew up too fast in 70s/80s and skipped those innocent years by dealing with grown up sh*t too early so I feel like my 50s/60s are all about living those years I missed. I feel like a teen because of BTS!
@ChriseoNoona
@BTS_twt
And what they don't truly understand is that BigHit didn't actively promote or market outside of SK. ARMY did that for them and it took years before they purposely made that move. The light inside of each of them spread throughout the world organically and woke more of us up! 💞
I finally found a pic I have had for awhile that still makes me laugh. Two of the WORST knock off BT21 plushies I have ever seen. Koya's nose is a third eye and Chimmy has balls on his chin and has a weird body, LMAO!!! What are some of your fav WORST knock off merch items?

@BTS_twt
in May 2017 and life has transformed since then. So many new friends, traveled to LA for concerts 3 times. Started an Etsy store for BTS inspired Swarovski bracelets. They influence my life everyday!
Don't see ALOT of early ARMY here anymore so they either got tired of the drama or are using enlistment time as an opportunity to make change in their own lives. I hope they know how much I appreciate them and try to carry on their traditions of sharing LOVE and positivity.
Was driving today and listening to Persona really loud and had one of those moments where I forgot I'm 55 and what my life was like before I first saw them in this moment. I would NEVER want to go back to my pre-BTS life.

I tweeted this last November but now that I have more followers I will RT. It really is comforting to know that I am not alone and no judgement from so many about my choices. I am 100% FREE to fangirl to my heart's content and I love that.
Just curious because it's so rare to find. I am 58 and I have never gotten married or had kids. I dated a lot but am happily single and it gives me time to focus on being a dog mom and an ARMY in my free time. Are there others out there that are older and still single/no kids?

and ARMY but here we are! Thanks to all of the ARMY that have been a part of making my life so much better!
감사합니다 🙏
I used to struggle with his age. Then I thought "19 years old or 25 years old...what's the difference, they are all young?" I still feel like a teen when I'm fangirling & I think it's healthy because I battle a body that's falling apart everyday. I deserve to escape now and then!
Question for my older
#BTSARMY
. Did you ever think you'd be in love with seven 20-something men that play on giant bouncey props at a concert and you'd feel UTTER JOY watching it? 😆😆😆
@BTS_twt
= PURE HAPPINESS!!!
Never post selcas but I'm bored in the airport so thought I would share one for a change. Shooky is ready for another adventure to his home state, lol! Got him at Hollywood Line Friends in 2018.
Since I have so many new followers I want to ask if you all have seen Hwarang with Taehyung? This was about my 7th or 8th Kdrama in 2017. It's one of those Kdramas with a combo of drama, violence, comedy and romance. Be prepared to laugh and CRY (hard) if you watch it.
I love that some newbs think we tag
@BTS_twt
because we think they will notice us. We aren't that delulu! We did this early on to help them in the social ranking and in fact that is how I found them - when they won Top Social Artist on BBMAs in 2017 BECAUSE ARMY was tagging them.
💜Today is my 7th ARMYversary! 💜I can't believe it. Time flies by as you get older and even though physically I am in the same place, I am NOT in the same place spiritually, mentally or emotionally. Their LIGHT pulled me out of the darkness I was in.
감사합니다

I have always felt it was the other way around since 2017 when they started getting more and more popular in Western countries. Not once have I felt they were the ones looking for validation but the Western artists trying to gain attention. I'm annoyed by most collabs. 🤷♀️
I'm here to celebrate a BTS member each day. I am not here to discuss world topics and focus on how f'd up the world is. These men are the light in my life and they brought me out of darkness 6 years ago. That's the only reason I remain on this app.
@BTS_twt
Been MIA for a couple days. My 36 year old nephew died of accidental overdose on Wednesday. Third family member to die of OD in 3 years. I expect to lose older family members as I get older but losing young ones is HARD. I pray this stops happening to my family. It's awful.
My D-Day trip was so fast that it's hard to believe it happened! Arrived in LA late Wednesday night to a lodging debacle. Yesterday 5 of us ARMY met for Korean BBQ and then went straight to concert. About 45 minutes of sleep and got on plane by 8am, home at 11am. I feel OLD 🤣
Posted this in 2022 not realizing I was announcing I'm one of those childless "dog" ladies! 🤣🤣🤣 Still happily single with my dog and my BTS! 🤷♀️ Don't forgot to vote this November! 😚
Just curious because it's so rare to find. I am 58 and I have never gotten married or had kids. I dated a lot but am happily single and it gives me time to focus on being a dog mom and an ARMY in my free time. Are there others out there that are older and still single/no kids?
I have been getting a lot of comments about being 64, but I am 59! If you are new to Kpop or the Korean culture the term 64-liner means I was born in 1964! Example: Jimin and Taehyung are 95-liners because they were both born in 1995.
Since I can't be here much I am requesting that you all share your fav hair color on Jimin today!
Mine is BLACK but Pink was my kryptonite in 2017 & I really love him with a natural blonde as well. I literally love ALL hair colors on him. He hyponotized me in DOPE too, lol!
@MauveExplorer
I am really surprised there are so many working adults here! It is so AWESOME to see that. I am in my 50s and sometimes the things I see on Twitter make me feel like all ARMY are teenagers, haha! This is a fascinating post! Thank you 😊
It makes me laugh when someone younger is surprised that I love BTS and their music. Do they think we just die inside after a certain age or get stuck in music from our youth? I can barely stand to listen to most music from my youth and I still appreciate BEAUTY. Life goes on...
Dinner with cousins and the looks I got when I explain my
#BTSARMY
life were priceless. I've lost the will to explain why a 50-something woman found happiness again because of 7 amazing, talented, young Korean men. Unless you live it, it's too hard to put in words. I'm over it.
Having one of those days where I feel like I don't belong anywhere. Nothing in particular happened...I just feel very isolated and alone right now. I probably need some Agust D energy. 🤷♀️
FINALLY got some answers today. I had a sinus CT Scan and it turns out I have a chronic sinus infection among my thyroid issues. No wonder I have felt like crap for so long. My last doc said, "you just have allergies" so I am done with him. So nice to finally be HEARD!
Yayyyyy!!!!
58 years old and I'm 5'10" tall and it FITS!!! Sleeves are long enough too, which is often my problem with hoodies. I'm ready for Fall so I can wear it!!!!

@lsgrlr
Wow 😶 Can always count on Zach to advocate for BTS but the logic of one of them is off the mark. What about all the artists that sing in Spanish? They chart as well. His logic doesn't make sense to me. We KNOW what the lyrics MEAN and that's the whole point. 🤦♀️
If you are new to my account, I am not a solo but I do celebrate one member each day of the week and have been doing that since July 2017. It's my way of loving OT7 equally. Some days I am more active and other days I am not...not because I don't love them equally but just life!
I see so many ARMY going to Korea at the same time on my different social apps. We need an app so that when you are there it tells you if you are walking near another I-ARMY! I plan to go someday too and it would be fun to meet up if you are in the same area. 💜
Each Comeback is like them opening the door to the Magic Shop and saying, "Welcome. Come on in. We've been waiting for you!"

What fascinates me about these lyrics is that I was addicted to the PAIN of love. It took me until my 50s until I realized that I always chose painful relationships. I stopped dating in my 50s because I was tired of the pain. Found BTS to replace that addiction-much happier now!

on the 2017 BBMAs. I quickly fell down the rabbit hole on my own and now over a year later I have many new friends thru various social media. Looking forward to meeting ARMY in L.A. in Sept!!!
Another day of not feeling like adulting, lol! I mean most of us don't ever feel like it but having a hard time finding my groove this week!
What is it about THIS Yoongi that is so hot?!
You came into my life 5 years ago when I asked the Universe for Joy and Purpose again and you answered that prayer. I am with you until the day I die and I even wear the BTS/ARMY ring on my wedding finger so I am not going anywhere!
