The original plan for BigHit’s new boy group back around 2010 was actually for them to be a hip hop group, hence why the first three members signed were two underground rappers/writers/producers (RM and Suga) and a street dancer (J-Hope). They eventually changed the direction into an idol group and started adding the vocal line members but the rap line were first and are kind of the musical pillars of the group from a writing standpoint, so the group as a whole started out with a strong hip hop focus. When people start checking out early BTS, I always tell them that the music was excellent, lyrically meaningful, and personal from the start…but their stylists had a few crimes to answer for, let’s be real. Namjoon’s fake fade, I can’t 😅😭

Am ARMY-made channel for lyric videos is Dial 6137. They’re not color coded but they’re accurate and not made by people who simply want to make a quick buck. If you notice, many of the big lyrics video channels put a chunk of different music at the end. If a video is only BTS music, HYBE/BigHit claims copyright and they get any ad revenue generated. Putting some of their own music at the end allows the lyric video channels to claim copyright and keep part of the revenue for themselves. The reason the lyrics are often inaccurate is that they make the videos sometimes less than an hour after a new song is released knowing that they will get millions of views. It’s purely a cash grab.

In italy students dont have a "general" high school, every school is specialized in something (like scientific, artistic, linguistic, classical, musical, human science) so you have young teens freshly out from MIDDLE SCHOOL deciding their whole life career. It's a mess, no wonder most people dont end up working what they studied for😢

Their ages when they joined Big Bit as trainees: RM 16, Jin 18, Suga 17, J-Hope 16, Jimin 16, V 15, Jungkook 13. (The length of their trainee periods varied) Their ages at debut (June 2013): RM 18, Jin 20, Suga 20, J-Hope 19, Jimin 17, V 17, Jungkook 15

I still don’t know shit jajaja and I’m 27 and still feel as lost as when I was in high school 😅

Jungkook is doing the adlibs for ON.

I’m so glad you loved it. V and Jimin were in high school (JK hadn’t even entered high school yet!), and the others had just graduated (I think Jin was in early college like you were) - so this topic was so important for them specifically. Their first three albums/EPs are called “The school trilogy” because the theme is school and student life, with a big focus on critiquing the south korean education system (and young love/first crushes). My favourite thing about BTS albums is seeing them grow up with their albums - they always do concept/theme albums about topics and fears and questions that are affecting them at that point in their lives. “Ask yourself if you’ve ever worked hard for anything?” really hit me when I first listened to this song. I’m very good at coasting along through life on autopilot and am lucky that school and academics come pretty easy to me. I’m thankfully very happy with my choice of degree and career, and definitely needed a university degree for my career, but that line made me realise I need to be a lot more proactive about my life and that I’m the one with the power to make these decisions/shape my life into one I actively want. Thank you for saying what you did about university. No one should be expected/forced to go for no reason. (PS: with these very early songs, it’s actually better to use lyric videos imo… Subtitles were there, yes, but they hadn’t realised how many international fans would watch so translations are not as good or consistent as they are later 😅 And if you ever need more context/are confused by a lyric video, you can go to doolsetbangtan on wordpress for more info <3)

We Are Bulletproof Pt 2 is a reference to an earlier (pre-debut) BTS song We Are Bulletproof. WAB was made in 2010 by RM, IRON and Supreme Boi (they were training to be BTS members at that time) and remade later by current members (it's not on any of their albums though, but you can find this version on youtube). Thank you for this reaction, I really like how you separate MV from the lyrics, it really can be overwhelming sometimes

Thanks for watching! 🫰💜 Sorry if people have been coming at you for how you do things. Based on my experience, the vast majority of viewers just go with the flow. Maybe we'll suggest something if we see it worked elsewhere. Generally though, we usually tell reacters, it's your channel, you do what you need to do for you. 😊 Ironically, cc on this video, and at least one other video from the early ones, don't have good cc anyways! For the first year and a half that I was a fan, I rarely looked at BTS's lyrics. I picked songs based solely on the music. I also hadn't run across reacters before that time, so I was clueless. I think Spine Breaker and Baepsae were the songs that got me curious about lyrics and were the start of me realizing there was more to them than just the music. There were a lot of songs that I bypassed because I generally like more upbeat music. Some of those I bypassed are now my favorites. Basically, I'm glad you check out the lyrics, however you decide to do it! I don't know if you've run across this on Ateez line distribution videos, but I've noticed a few times where it incorrectly states who is singing. The main one I remember is from Airplane pt2. Jungkook was credited when it was Jin at one point and Jimin at another. I don't remember which channel it was, and I don't watch too many line distribution videos, but commenters can probably advise who is usually dependable and who is not when it comes to BTS. You may have to check with each fandom because the accuracy might vary.

I also gettoo distracted by the MV to read the lyrics And I think it should be more comon take a year or two after school so you actually know what you want to do... I start studying nutrition right after high school but that really wasn't my thing at all so I leave took a year and went to study fashion design I graduate and Iam still not sure but will see what comes in the future

Btw Jungkook was 15 in this mv, it was before his birthday that year! Also I don't even know how they got Namjoons hair to look like that???

JK was 15 when they debuted; his birthday is Sep. 1st. :) They debuted as a hip hop group, primarily. To really get the full effect, you should also add in a live performance.

It's so helpful that you have a good understanding of the K-Pop industry. This way, you will understand what sets BTS apart.

I truly appreciate how you are invested in learning and paying close attention to the music/guide. So many reactors go so fast and miss important info. I'd rather have you pause a lot and understand than rush through for a shorter video. I just subscribed because I love watching baby ARMY go through their own personal journey to discovering and loving BTS. You are doing wonderfully. 💜

A knew subscriber here for your BTS REACTION 💓💓💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Your baby is crying????I heard the sound of a baby crying there😅 it's ok????

What's really impressive is unlike a lot of the other groups in kpop they write a lot of their lyrics and produce their own music! I'm happy you enjoyed them! Welcome to Army 💜 And I laughed when you called Jimin ethereal looking 😂There's a whole fan video called the Jimin: Ethereal Beauty

Ohhh myyy.. you’ll be gine if you watch jimin’s filter in red suit. U NEED to watch it!

Please, if you get any toxic ARMY bothering you, let us know. We are protective, but we dont tolerate ugliness. All fandoms have those people that just dont belong. To understand why ARMY is so protective, you really have to understand how much BTS went through. There were fandoms that banded together to try and stop BTS. Break Wings Project ( one of their albums) consisted of several fandoms who trended nasty tags on Twitter, gave black oceans, and made false accusations against the members. And the bigger they got, the worse it became. It wasnt just other fandoms, it is Kmedia, the Korean government, and a lot of jealous people. So sometimes people will get out of pocket in that defense. Your reactions are lovely. And dont worry about tearing up a little, ive probably watched this guide 60 times, and i still tear up at Young Forever!

I loved your reaction and the baby Army at the end (literally)😅💜💜

I would like to suggest XG, which is a girl group from Japan who sing/rap only in English. They are very cool and would be at the level of Ateez and BTS in my opinion. MVs to view would be: WOKE UP, LEFT and RIGHT, Shooting Star, Girl GVNG (Girl Gang), and Something Ain't Right to start.

Spring Day is a very emotional song for ARMY. A video explaining what it is about below. We would love for you to react to it as well. czcams.com/video/Tye1ONFeKis/video.htmlsi=px08jLLe6hUoXLk3

RM learned English as a kid, watching the American show "Friends". So he taught himself and no formal training in ENGLISH. The success BTS has had with International artist and RM being able to speak English, this is why Gen 4+ groups must have at least one English speaker. Like with SKZ you have Bang Chan and Felix.

Just so you know, you would be shocked that Jimin's speaking voice is not high. Also.. his BUSAN voice is so sexy and sultry. This is why Jimin is my husband.

new viewer. fyi- fake love is about the relationship between ARMY according to their book. knowing this hits us harder. I saw the TARDAS...my fav Doctor is Baker and new installment is Smith. Content: "They are enlisted in the military so they aren't putting out much content." Ma'am.. WE ARE DROWNING in content POST enlistment.

Nooo don't be scared of us! We're nicer than people say we are, but with such a huge fandom, all the dramatic and mean ones stand out more 🥲 I will admit though, that we can be intense. But for good reason lol I'm happy you still gave them a chance though...and feel that Tae Tae is gonna be a problem lmao They're such wonderful guys with such meaningful lyrics!

25:05 “go away” lmao 😂

They're so silly haha. I love them. Thanks for the fun video.

I don't think many BTS songs are about romantic love or break ups. Self love yes. Their psyche. Their creative process. Their turmoil and hardship. Their journey and self discovery, but not "I broke up with my girlfriend". A few yes, but I would think of any other meaning before that when listening to their music.

When you said, "They're in the military so there won't be that much content and I will have time to catch up"...🤣🤣🤣🤣 Since it has been three weeks, I assume you now know the truth.

About Jimin’s voice. He kind of reminds me of me of Little Anthony back in the 50’s/60’s. Same quality. The group was called Little Anthony and the Imperials an awesome group. Look them up and see if you hear the similarity. One song Going out of my head was the rage. I was a young kid then but my sister was mad for them. Also I understand about V’s affect. He has been most handsome man in the world for like 7 years.

Spring Day

This whole release is just meant to be nostalgic and a little painful but sweet...I haven't seen any actual MOAs who reacted to this and didn't get at least a little emotional. It's a pretty song, too.

I woudl avoid the lyric videos, the captions in the Music Video is the most accurate and give it the appropriate view.

You saying the scene with JK on the bed is too much... 👀 Girllll wait til you see some of his lives... Literally also filmed while showering... 🧍🏾‍♀️

She’s so 😬 nervous, she thinks we’re gonna yell at her for looking in the wrong direction. Army is chill. If you were hated on unjustifiably that wasn’t army. <3

DKDKTV did in depth explanation of many of BTS songs that included Korean cultural nuances. I found them very helpful. You might want to watch the ON mv (not manifesto) and hear DKDKTV explanation...interesting. Completely off subject...I just realized this was filmed shortly before Yoongi had his shoulder surgery (when shots/PT couldn't do anything)...no wonder it was hard for him.

Oh I can’t wait to watch your my from the beginning💜💜

thanks for the reaction! you are so beautiful! and welcome! From ARMY with love ♥️

Спасибо вам большое за реакцию ♥️ Любите BTS , любите ATEEZ ♥️

Je peux comprendre que tu es un peu intimidé pour les Army's mais la plupart au fond sont très gentil💜

26:37 we also don't call them with their stage name RM as Joonie or namu 🐨 Jin as Jinu or wwh 🐹 Suga as Yoongi or yoon or kitty 🐱 Jhope as hobi or hoba 🐿 Jimin as jiminshi or mochi 🐥 V as taetae or winter bear 🐻 Jungkook as kookie or bunny 🐰

BTS are the kings of the industry, they paved the way 💋💋💋💋

Yeah BS&T has that effect...

Can you also react BTS best B sides? Whalien 52, Autumn Leaves, Dionysus, House of Cards. Thanks ❤

Queen Spring Day just hits 1Billion stream on Melon🎉

Please react to The Rise of Bangtan docu series made by Armys 🙏
