India's K-craze
An unusual ARMY of 80 assembled in a studio in Mumbai on July 13. All clad in purple, they screamed what seemed to be the names of their deities: 'Kim Namjoon! Kim Seokjin! Min Yoongi! Jung Hoseok! Park Jimin! Kim Taehyung! Jeon Jungkook! BTS!' They were chanting the names of the seven members of the wildly popular Korean boy band, BTS or The Bangtan Boys. The occasion? The annual get-together of their devoted fanbase, which calls itself the ARMY, short for Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth. Among them were besties Vanessa Daniel, 33, and Diana D'Souza, 36, one a teacher and the other dayjobbing at a top corporate. Between bites of purple-frosted cupcakes, they shared what BTS means for them. 'Emotionally, they offer me a lot of support,' says Vanessa. Adds Diana: 'I don't go to a therapist, I turn to them.'
