BTS Celebrates 10 Years of Taehyung's 'Borahae' Symbolizing ARMY's Bond
November 13 marks the 10th anniversary of BTS member Kim Taehyung's (V) creation of 'Borahae' or 'I Purple You,' a phrase symbolizing love, trust, and support between BTS and their global fandom, ARMY. Coined spontaneously during BTS' 3rd Muster fan meeting in 2016, the expression was inspired by a fan project that transformed the venue into a sea of purple. Purple represents enduring connection, as explained by Taehyung, who hoped the bond would last for years.
