What does "Borahae" mean?

Borahae or “I purple you” is a word associated with the K-pop boy group and is a true example of group member V’s creativeness. He devised the term back in 2016 as an impulse to describe the strong bond and deep connection between the group and its fans, known as ARMY.

According to ARMY's theory, since purple (violet) is the endmost color of the rainbow and also represents love, the phrase integrates two words: Bora (violet) and Saranghae (I love you). The term is recognized worldwide and the color purple, too, has become a representative and trademark of the group and fandom.
