A.R.M.Y. stands for Adorable Representative M.C for Youth. 💖

Tip: Try not to remember them for their hair colors because they dye their hair often.

Once again, you're more than welcome to our family. 💕 You'll enjoy it, and once you become an ARMY, there's no going back😜

Once you JimIN, you can't JimOut.😂❤

-i didn't write who is main or lead dancer/rapper/vocalist because some sites say main and some say lead so it's best like this😊
