Are you Bts fan, a kpop fan, or both?

My idea of a BTS only stan was someone that only really follows BTS and doesnt listen to any other kpop. But im aware of BTS fanatics that also casually listen to kpop so might not consider themselves fans of kpop in general. Not all BTS only fans as they call themselves dismiss kpop or refuse to acknowledge it. Only a vocal few do.

and yes, only enjoying and loving and supporting BTS is completely fine. I dont mean to say that BTS only fans must check out or enjoy other groups. But I don't get the statement i sometimes see, "I like BTS but not kpop". I mean BTS is kpop so im like "you do like kpop. just havent found anything else you like yet". I dont demand that every BTS fan checks out kpop but i wish those who do say "i dont like kpop" would check it out more before forming that opinion. Unfortunately, of course its true that hate from others in the kpop community very well might drive them away and in that case its different.

I understand that there are a lot of haters of both BTS and BTS fans . My only hope is that BTS only fans dont return hate towards an entire community as well and that the stupid people that hate all of ARMY also grow up.
