The term of endearment, within the BTS fandom, created for k-army (Korean fans) by i-army (International fans).
K-diamonds are very very loved by i-army, because they take out a lot of their time to help the international fandom stay up-to-date with everything BTS related, through translations, helpful explanations and announcements. This is something i-armys are incredibly thankful for, because not many kpop fandoms have such a close relationship to their Korean counterpart. K-army are also known to be really cute, peaceful and shy, which is why they've been given the name "k-diamond" to illustrate how precious they are.
The name originally came about after k-army gave i-army the term of endearment "i-lovelies".

Nickname given to the ARMY fandom by BTS' Park Jimin.
Eppi is Korean satoori slang for "pretty" or "lovely" (이삐). This is typically what k-army call each other when they speak in Korean, but it is also used by them to just generally describe the ARMY fandom. It is also what birthed the term of endearment "i-lovelies" (와랑둥이), that k-army gave to i-army.

Another word for a really aggressive type of Chlamydia. It attacks anything and everything in its way, and hurts like hell. Symptoms in women include vaginal discharge or burning with urination. While it includes discharge from the penis, burning with urination, or pain and swelling of one or both testicles in men. It can also affect eyes, and lead to blindness. People suffering from Kerries will usually be in denial about the truth of the matter, which will only result in them causing their own situation to get worse.
It's disgusting AF, so if you come into contact with Kerries, you need to see a doctor and be treated immediately.

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.
