Translation of the Korean 와랑둥이, the term of endearment created by k-army for i-army. The abbreviated version of this nickname is "i-lovelies".
The name originates from the Korean word "Eppi" (이삐), which BTS member Park Jimin once used to describe the ARMY fandom. K-army started using "international lovelies" as a nickname for i-army after this. The nickname is meant to show k-army's love and appreciation towards the international fandom and carries special meaning to BTS fans, since it allowed the fandom to grow closer.
In return, the nickname given to k-army by i-army is "k-diamond".
Most kpop fandoms are historically not very close, since there tends to be very little communication between Korean and international fans (which often results in very misinformed i-fans), and the Korean fandom tends to dislike the international counterpart. This fact makes the nicknames and bond between k-army and i-army that much more special.
In recent years, kpoppies have gotten increasingly uncreative and started stealing and copying things. So despite the name being coined years ago and already having a common knowledge widespread usage within the ARMY fandom, some kpoppies are currently trying to make the name happen for their own i-fandoms in an effort to appear as close as the ARMY fandom, despite secretly calling them i-roaches and cockroaches behind their backs.

Get the i love you most benmug. A concept the human brain made up. Love is not made up but instead felt by the human "heart." Not actually, but metaphorically. The human concept of love has lost its "deep" and "meaningful" meaning over the years with people stating such things as "I love Fortnite." The original "feeling" of love is more of a combination of other existing feelings, which can be sadness, happiness, lust, fear, and sometimes anger. Love in this since is not real, but instead an illusion, or sometimes an act for others to believe. One is never IN love with a person, but instead feeling many other feelings for that person at one time. Love often ends with sadness, making people think love is bad. It is more of an emotional excerise, helping one cope with many emotions at one time.

Get the lovemug. A Thomas Lovely is the term used to describe a male with a rather large head and an ego to match. With the atypical appearance of Sid from Ice Age, the individual is a kind person, but when it comes to sport he is a whole other animal. He is an individual where you don’t know what is worse, to beat him or lose to him because of his temper tantrums when he loses, or his arrogance when he wins.
