BTS‘s J-Hope recently announced the encore concerts for his world tour, Hope On The Stage, in Seoul.

While tickets sold out almost immediately, netizens noted the gender and age demographics of ticket purchasers.

Women make up 93.4% of the ticket purchasers while 6.6% are men.
The largest age groups are 30s and 40s which in total occupy over 58% of the total ticket purchasers (30.4% and 28.2% respectively). 20s are also close at 23%. Lastly, 50s (11.7%) and 10s (3.3%) are the smallest age groups.
Because the largest age groups were in their 30s and 40s, fans found that it indicates BTS’s fans are growing alongside them.

Netizens commented on the endearing age range of ARMYs that point to BTS and J-Hope’s loyal fanbase that withstand the test of time.
- “I’m in there too, haha.”
- “So the fandom is made up of people in their 30s and 40s. Well, makes sense—fans age along with them.”
- “Me too, me too—I’m in there too.”
- “I work at a female-dominated office, and the women in their 40s and 50s go to BTS concerts every time.”
- “It’s BTS’s 12th anniversary and the members are in their early to mid-30s. In five years, some of them will be 40. Fans are aging too—it’s only natural. The age range is mostly 20s, 30s, and 40s.”
- “I’m included too! I’m going to see Hoseok!”
- “The 20s, 30s, 40s age ratio is honestly fantastic.”
