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 Myles my love mug.love is a feeling that someone gets and can never get rid of. no matter what happens, who does what, true love never goes away. love can be a happy feeling and a hurtful one. if can be difficult and it can be easy peasy. love can also be different for every person. not every person wants the same type of love as you do.
