If you& #39;re just learning about K-pop / @BTS_twt /ARMY, you may wonder why ARMY claims itself as its own instead of "K-pop fandom", or why publications like @TheR3Journal, @revolt_twt, @BorasaekVision, @Revolution_mag_ etc are focused only on BTS and not K-pop as a whole.

I can& #39;t speak for all these publications and all ARMY, but as an ARMY myself and member of @The3Journal, this is the perspective I& #39;ll give.
It& #39;s simple. @BTS_twt / ARMY are their own category. This may sound like a personal opinion, but it can be objectively explained.

Really, whenever a topic, a group, a thing, anything, is complex enough to be distinguished from its peers, it can be considered autonomous from it. It doesn& #39;t have to be hierarchical, it doesn& #39;t have to be personal, although it can be.

It& #39;s just about one thing having enough particularities that differentiate it from others.
(My academic background is Law so this is how it& #39;s easy
for me to visualize it. Hopefully I& #39;m explaining it in a way that others can understand too.)

Law is separated in different fields. They have to be somewhat cohesive, and can communicate and influentiate each other sometimes, but they *need* to be studied separately & have their own separate rules.
(At least in Romano-germanic law systems like my country& #39;s)

In legal taxonomy, one Law field may have subfields. For example: Copyrights is a species under the Intellectual Property genre, but it is VERY different from other Intellectual Property species.
Having a common origin does *not* mean all rules from the main genre apply.

Classification separates things to better understand how they work, either alone or altogether. If you put 2 things that have different history, composition, achieve different results etc in the same classification, you& #39;ll come to inaccurate conclusions about them.

Back to @BTS_twt / K-pop, you don& #39;t really need to love or hate neither to see how they& #39;re interconnected yet can definitely be distinguished.
Saying that a subcategory or a related category is its own category does not necessarily equal bashing the other categories.
