In Kpop there are many idols who are fans of other idols and of course they are just like normal pαѕѕionate fans, supported their idols so much. One of the most popular recent stories of idol idolization is the story of Ahn Yujin of IVE as she is known to be a loyal fan of BTS. From just one time seeing BTS perform at the MMA and 4 years later also at the MMA, the fangirl of BTS has become an extremely professional performing idol and also ever received a Bonsang award on the same stage.
The story begins 4 years ago when Yujin and his friends attended the 2016 MMA Awards. At this time, Yujin was a 13-year-old high school student who had just finished her final exam and entered the winter break. That girl decided to hunt for tickets to attend the year-end awards ceremony – where her idol – BTS attended. Finally Yujin was lucky enough to get the ticket that became the turning point in her life.
MMA 2016 was an important year for BTS as they received their first Daesang award in their career. It can be seen that Yujin is really one of the ARMYs who have followed BTS since the early days. There is a video that has been circulating widely on social media when BTS was named in the 2016 MMA Bonsang Awards, the camera panned to the au∂ιєnce and Yujin happened to be in the frame. Yujin’s image seems to express the hearts of many fangirls: extremely excited, howling, waving BTS’s lightstick. It was from this moment that she began her dream of becoming an idol.

It was during a livestream on Vlive that Yujin also shared that going to this awards ceremony was a great motivation for her to become a trainee, participate in Produce48, and become a piece of IZ * ONE then. Become the leader of rookie dinosaur IVE. Sharing about this moment, Yujin said, “I had a lot of fun watching it. Those are seniors I respect a lot. When the group received the award, everyone was happy with them, crying with them. Seeing them so happy and it makes me think of wanting to become an idol”.
Yujin then also talked about how she submitted her resume to auditions and entertainment agencies and started her journey to becoming a trainee. So far, Yujin has completely proven her ability as a professional idol and received a lot of support from the au∂ιєnce the same way she supported BTS.
When BTS won the important Daesang in their career, Yujin was also a fan cheering them on in the limelight. At the present time, that fangirl has become an idol, used to stand on the same stage with her idol and fulfill her dream by seeing her idols. Yujin really is a great example of how being a fan of BTS is the right thing to do in life.
