The TANNIES is a nickname used by ARMYS which was first created by members of BH staff as BANGTANNIES to refer to the members of BTS and ONLY the members of BTS, Many have tried copying this nickname but they have failed as it sounds ugly and unoriginal.
The tannies aka (bts) are so adorable to me I love them.
A nickname k-armys created for bts after their debut. A lot of kpoppies started to copy it for their own irrelevant groups tho. Blinks started saying 'the pinks' and netizens started to say 'the neos'
This is a nickname for Korean group BTS, from the first half of their name Bangtan Sonyeondan. It is an affectionate term used when ARMY is talking about the boys and anyone else who uses it is copying BTS.
Did you see the Tannies opened their own instagrams?
