South African fanbase for South Korean band, BTS, hosts various guests to talk all things fandom as it relates to BTS within a South African context.
In episode 5 of our Talks with BTSARMYZA series of podcasts, we host two South African ARMY who like us, have travelled abroad to experience the BTS magic. Chantal and Wayonette share some of their experiences of ticketing, seeing BTS live, and their experiences with ARMY. Finally, the panel briefly discusses the costs associated with travelling to see BTS.
In our 4th episode of our Talks with BTSARMYZA series of podcasts, we have a conversation with two friends. Lalitha Moodley is one of the founders of OfficiallyKSA, and Lindi the ARMY behind her fanpage, IHeartKPOP. Both these amazing women have planned and run BTS events in South Africa in the past few years. We also spend time unpacking their experiences in fandom more generally, their highlights and the challenges they experience in the spaces they manage.
In episode 3 of our Talks with BTSARMYZA series of podcasts, we engage the administrators of BangtanmoonlightSA to discuss charity projects and giving back by South African ARMY. We discuss charity as a tenant of being an ARMY and how to get involved in charitable pursuits. Like our guests last week, a special thank you to the BangtanmoonlightSA admins who visited our podcast despite recovering from a COVID-19 infection.
In episode 2 of our Talks with BTSARMYZA series of podcasts, we engage the administrators of BTSCharts_SA to discuss South African charts in relation to BTS. We talk about Official Charts, the importance of streaming, South Africa's most used platforms, the likelihood of BTS touring in South Africa in the near future and much more! A special thank you to the Charts admins who visited our podcast despite recovering from a COVID-19 infection.
As we embark on a series of podcasts discussing all things BTS within a South African context, we thought it best for the first episode to be about BTSARMYZA - about us. So we talk about the administrators, why we exist, our love for BTS and what we hope to do in future!
On October 26, 2019, BTS ARMY South Africa admins were invited to talk all things BTS on the #KPOPSoundSystem with Lunga Singama on Heart104.9
