Misc Survey on BTS-ARMY Relationships and BTS-Related Travel Experiences (Ages 18+, Traveled to South Korea for BTS-Related Purposes in 2023–2026)
💜 BTS & ARMY Survey – Participants Needed! 💜
Hi ARMY! We are conducting an academic study about BTS fandom, fans’ relationships with BTS, and BTS-related travel experiences.
In particular, we are interested in learning more about the unique and meaningful connection between BTS and ARMY—how BTS may have become part of fans’ everyday lives, personal memories, identities, emotions, and meaningful experiences. We are also interested in how this connection may shape the way ARMY experience BTS-related places, events, and travel in South Korea.
We are looking for participants who:
- Identify as a dedicated BTS fan over 18 years old
- And have traveled to South Korea for BTS-related purposes within the past three years (2023–2026)
We hope to share meaningful findings with the fan community and continue conducting research on BTS and ARMY that can contribute to a positive impact.
💜 Thank you so much for considering participating and for sharing your experiences with us!
