* CAUGHT IN A LIEEEE~ [[labelnote:Explanation]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjhfpGPOAss Whenever]] any of the band members say or imply anything that gets discredited later on, ARMY are quick to belt out the opening lines to the chorus of Jimin's song [[Music/WingsBTSAlbum Lie]]. [[/labelnote]]
** "Where's the lie, though?" "In the Wings album", is a very common retaliation amongst [=ARMYs=].

* 7 [[labelnote:Explanation]]After ''MAP OF THE SOUL: 7'' was announced (with the number both being a MilestoneCelebration of 7 years as a group, referencing their being a 7-member group, and invoking LuckySeven), and several allusions to the number were found in both the album and as lucky (like BTS' first top 10 album, ''LOVE YOURSELF: Her'', charting at #7) and not-so-lucky (the reveal of ''MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA'' charting only at #7 in the year-end IFPI global chart, after ''LOVE YOURSELF: Tear'' and ''LOVE YOURSELF: Answer'' charting at #3 and #2) coincidences both before and after ''7'''s release, it quickly became a RunningGag for fans to find the number in everything BTS-related in a similar manner to ''Film/TheNumber23'', sometimes doing it seriously - because both BTS and [=BigHit=] love RuleOfSymbolism, and because some coincidences are ''eerie'' -, and sometimes intentionally or accidentally finding it in the most ridiculous places possible.[[/labelnote]]

* Happy birthday, [[PrecisionFStrike motherfucker]]! [[labelnote:Explanation]] Part of a GoodBadTranslation of [[https://twitter.com/BTS_twt/status/1079187121749905408 this tweet of Suga congratulating V for his birthday]], brought to you by Twitter's auto-translate feature. The fact that it still sounds somewhat in character for Suga (... [[NotSafeForWork a bit less so]] for [[https://twitter.com/JustAnEmoFuhk/status/1079335490204172288 the full tweet]]) only added to the hilarity, with a fan picturing him saying it while holding a gun.[[/labelnote]]

* Hello. This is Big Hit Music. [[labelnote:Explanation]] BigHit Music often puts these words at the beginning of statements that announce things like members getting sick. Appropriately, ARMYs will freak out when they read this.[[/labelnote]]

* Mocking problematic tweets by antis and fans[[note]]most frequently solo stans or OT6 fans (vocal fans of only one member, or every member ''except'' one or two), or any kind of tweet with obsessive/overly protective/reprehensible behavior[[/note]] by replacing the names of the group or member(s) involved with the names of [=BT21=] characters or V's dog.

* "Lil Meow Meow" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A tongue-in-cheek TastesLikeDiabetes nickname for Suga (aka. Yoongi), who is one of the shortest members and is often compared by fans to a cat both in appearance and demeanor. It began to spread on Twitter in 2018 when some fans started semi-jokingly using the nickname; however, when an anonymous ask told a fan to stop using it, saying that it "dehumanized" him (for context, he's usually {{Flanderiz|ation}}ed as some kind of unsympathetic, cold-hearted badass by certain parts of the fandom), fans only ''[[TakeThat doubled down]]'' on use of the nickname, spreading it further. And now it's spread to the RUN BTS and Bangtan Bomb editors.[[/labelnote]]

* Super Tuna [[labelnote:Explanation]]A trot song that Jin released on his birthday in 2021 with an accompanying choreography performance became the source of many memes and parodies, even leading to a dance challenge on TikTok, much to Jin's embarrassment.[[/labelnote]]

* The Third One from the Left. [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, tweets by non-fans started to circulate with pictures of BTS on the magenta carpet (where the members appear aligned in a set order), asking who was the third member from the left. Said member, Jin, ended up gaining this as a nickname.[[/labelnote]]
** Car Door Guy. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another nickname Jin gained in 2015 after being the first to come out of the car before going to the red carpet at a Korean award show - if you Google "car door guy", you'll only get pictures of Jin. A precursor to the previous title.[[/labelnote]]

* JIN JIN JIN JIN JJINIYAAAAAA (thumbs up)[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the 2020 Melon Music Awards, the trot singer Young Tak performed the song "찐이야" or "Jjiniya", which has a chorus with the lines "Jin, jin, jin, jin, jjiniya" (meaning "Real! Real! Real!") with a choreography that involves aggressive thumbs up gestures. Of course, [[https://youtu.be/X0T8wwbh4Tw ARMYs immediately ran with it]].[[/labelnote]]

* The #IDOLCHALLENGE. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A dance challenge using "IDOL" and its choreography (inspired by Drake's "In My Feelings" challenge), started by [=ARMYs=] from South Africa, then acknowledged by J-Hope [[AscendedMeme and included in the version of the "IDOL" music video featuring Nicki Minaj]].[[/labelnote]]
** The #BASELINECHALLENGE [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another dance challenge started on Twitter a month before the IDOL challenge, and a precedent to the above. Started by a fan using J-Hope's "Baseline" with an original choreography, and acknowledged by one of the members (likely J-Hope).[[/labelnote]]

* The eight member of BTS. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In an [[https://youtu.be/qsobCAGiuRU interview for WIRED]], the classic interview topic of "the eight member of BTS" came up, resulting in the members wondering how a hypothetical 8th member would actually adjust to the group and concluding that they'd probably hate it and all the dorms would be taken. This resulted in a ''lot'' of jokes in the fandom about this imaginary 8th member being TheFriendThatNobodyLikes.[[/labelnote]]

* Daechwita Tae [[labelnote:Explanation]]The 2021 Festa[=/=]Muster concert featured a live version of Agust D's "Daechwita" by all the members, who performed various roles of the original music video. V appeared as a prisoner about to be executed, tied by a rope and wearing a comically fake beard, becoming thus the subject of many edits.[[/labelnote]]

* ''Alright, she dropped the cheesecake...''[[labelnote:Explanation]]A common {{Mondegreen}} from the chorus in "Seesaw".[[/labelnote]]

** ''Michael told me in the closet/I got some chicken I'm so sad'' [[labelnote:Explanation]] A fan-favorite {{Mondegreen}} for Jungkook's bridge. [[/labelnote]]

* [[ScapegoatCreator Blaming every minor inconvenience or issue]] that happens on Supreme Boi, a [=BigHit=] producer.

* Ohmmmmmmyyyyyyyyggghghhhhhhhgggggggggdhdhsjsixudbslsogbdsisgshdbxidjdbdidhdifjfiri [[labelnote:Explanation]] On November 25th, 2020, BTS received their first ever Grammy nomination, and posted a video of their reaction with that strange phrase as the only caption. The caption immediately began trending on Twitter, with several [=ARMYs=] retweeting and copying and pasting as their own tweet, with even James Corden joining in on it. This later became a common reaction on twitter whenever [=ARMYs=]] are particularly shocked by something, especially regarding BTS. [[/labelnote]]
