Honestly, even if you are a new fan, there is nothing wrong with it. Just be comfortable in yourself and know that you became a fan because you liked them, and not because they are popular.

BTS is on a well deserved break right now, and I'm grateful for that, but now I'm realizing things I do that make me feel like a horrible ARMY at times.
the biggest one I do that I feel so bag and guilty about is defending myself and my ARMY status from people.

don't get me wrong, I am so proud to be an ARMY, and that's why when people ask about things I like, I say kpop instantly.
I name groups like TWICE, Loona, GFRIEND, soloists like Sunmi and Chungha, and then I get to BTS.
before when I talked about kpop, people just nodded with me, but when I mention BTS, the convo goes one of two ways.

they start going "OMG I LIKE BTS TOO!" and then we fangirl like crazy.
or they give me this disgusted look, like wow, I didn't expect you to jump on the bandwagon

if they give me that look, I instantly have to say something like, "oh I started following them 2015, don't worry, I didn't do it for hype." and then their face clears and they nod their head, laughing with me. and I've done that wayyyy more than fangirling. so everytime when I defend myself, why do I feel like I'm putting down all these new fans that are so amazing just to earn the approval of someone I want to be a friend with?

The best thing/advice I could give you is - just be yourself, and don't try to get approval of anybody, literally. I'm an ARMY first and then comes all the other groups/solo artists, so I'd always mention BTS first (unless I forget tomention them and sudenly mention other groups before them).

The less you care about their approval and their looks, and the more you care about yourself, your life becomes more joyfull. One more advice from me would be this: in those moments, just turn on the song that you mostly like and listen to it, while enjoying it - and you will forget about them. At the end of the day, your life and thoughts are in your hands, not theirs.

Many many hughs and loves from me

I'm no fan of BTS and they would probably be the last group on earth I would Stan and have absolutely no idea how they are so popular.
However, you should never feel ashamed or guilty for loving something and honestly, you should be interacting with genuine and friendly ARMYs who have the same interests as you.
Just be yourself and don't let anyone tell you who you can and can't like.
