Apobangpo (아포방포) Sign
(Source: 1)
From June 11-13, 2024, the HYBE Headquarters building in Yongsan, Seoul, South Korea will showcase the Apobangpo (아포방포) sign in celebration of BTS’s 11th Anniversary. BTS and BigHit came up with the idea to wrap the building with this message of appreciation for this year’s FESTA.
Apobangpo (아포방포)
Meaning “ARMY Forever, Bangtan Forever”, also abbreviated as AFBF. 아포방포 is the shortened version of “아미 포에버, 방탄 포에버.” It’s a phrase created by Jung Kook during one of his fancafe chats with ARMY in 2019. — ARMY Dictionary
