AB - This study starts from the point of view that the footsteps of BTS over the past 10 years have the character of a coming-of-age novel. Th e process of boys coming up from the provinces in pursuit of their dreams overcoming countless trials and going beyond the top of the country to the mainstream stage of the world has a similar aspect to the composition of dramatic growth novels. As a borderline between hip-hop and idol, they become otherized in the music world, but their small agency lacked the strength to defend them. BTS put their passion and effort into music and continuously sent it to fans, and the younger generation, who were struggling amid the uniformity and violence in neoliberalism, received it as a message of consolation. As the story of BTS was actively interpreted by A.R.M.Y, it was read as a message of hope and the possibility of solidarity, and it was completed as a growth novel of young people going through this era together. Th is interaction between BTS and A.R.M.Y can be seen as a cultural example achieved through horizontal communication, rejecting the vertical communication that stars and fandoms have shown so far.
