BTS member V delivered a meaningful message to fans regarding airport order.
During a recent live broadcast on the fan community platform Weverse, V stated, "The airport is not ours. It is a space for everyone, so I hope you maintain order."
He then mentioned the fans' voluntary campaign, the 'Purple Line', saying, "I would love it if you could recreate the Purple Line we did before. Then I could think for 10 more minutes about what to wear in the morning. If our ARMY creates the Purple Line, I will go to the airport dressed in a suit," which resonated with fans.
The 'Purple Line' is a fandom culture that started in 2018 when some ARMYs at LAX airport in the U.S. held purple ribbons and lined up to ensure BTS's safe entry and exit. This orderly campaign left a deep impression on V and the members, and V expressed his gratitude by holding a purple ribbon during a photoshoot.
However, after BTS's military service, the 'Purple Line' culture began to naturally fade away. Recently, excessive approaches and sasaeng behavior from some fans have been pointed out as issues, threatening the safety of both the artists and the fans.
Meanwhile, V and the rest of BTS are raising fans' expectations for a full group comeback early next year after completing their military service sequentially.
