Not only that, these Army friends also held a few exciting events such as distributing snacks, postcards, and even credit prizes to enliven the atmosphere near the videotron location.

The mediamove Instagram account is also busy receiving Instagram story tags that are mentioned from the army who are excited to see their idol appear in their city. Like a quote from twitter @wlcmtomagicshow “I got from jkt to bgr when it got to the rain, but when Jimin appeared everything felt tired.” This indicates the loyalty of fans who even come from outside the city are willing to come to Bogor City to see the videotron with the idol.
Not only that, in Makassar they were very happy when they saw their idol appear on the premium videotron at CPI near Losari beach. As quoted from Twitter @Tannies “Thank you @minkyungsa @forhacin for this beautiful ads. Even tho the sunlight burned us, we still cheered it up. “This indicates they are willing to be exposed to the hot and scorching sun to take pictures and see their idols.
