I hope now, you realize why this fandom is so protective and aggressive when it comes to hate/disrespect
We aren't called ARMY for no reason. We protect BTS and support them in any way we can. That's our job.
BTS returns the favor by protecting and supporting us as well. Whether it be interviewers that call us crazy fangirls or any ARMY that goes through a rough time, the boys try their hardest to protect us.
Boybands are known for having fans that protect them to no end. However, BTS is the only band who actively works to protect us back. We work hand in hand, like a family. BTS=ARMY.
This is literally the comment I’m gonna show every time someone asks me what BTS and ARMY mean to each other. Wise words, lovely. 💜
Tbf I think we radiate more positivity than hate….. even if some people get that hateful side, for our size we r still relatively a peaceful and loving fandom….. even with the bad eggs
Well said, I completely agree! To people from the outside, it may seem like army is super aggressive, negative, and toxic, but that’s only like 15% of the fandom, maybe even 10%. Most of the fandom is normal and positive and welcoming. As long as someone respects the boys, we respect them. We give people the same treatment they give the boys.
And on top of that, there's not just a relationship between BTS and ARMY, but also between Armies themselves. I see it all the time on the Weverse app. People posting saying their having a rough time, and maybe BTS doesn't see all of them because so many comments are sent every minute, but I'll see other Armies responding back with encouraging words or relevant BTS lyrics to be a comfort. It a true community, the likes of which I have never seen. Somehow, BTS makes us feel closer to them and also closer to each other at the same time, even though many of us will never meet. And we don't need to to know that we are loved. That's the power BTS holds and it's a beautiful thing. Borahae fellow ARMY!! 💜💜💜
RM mentioned ARMY in his very first United Nations speech. BTS always mention ARMY in every winning speech. And they create so many songs (even their love songs) are for/inspired from ARMY. Haters will never understand :') 💜💜💜 *I never into K-Pop (or even Pop songs in general). But this boy band ... 💜💜💜
My heart soared when you said that rap is like poetry! You have no idea how well you hit the nail on the head. The leader and rapper RM even wanted to become a poet or a writer. You have no idea what treats await you down the line!
Yes, well said!
Yeah especially because RM is a genius his IQ is 148.
Respect & love to Ninni…another beautiful ARMY member.
- V telling ARMY about his grandma at a koncert was at least partially because they had expressed concerns online about him looking depressed and tired lately and they were really worried about him. So he wanted to assure them that he was basically ok but greaving. 💔
- The accusations about misogynistic lyrics largely hang on cover snippets of two american rap songs RM released online outside of BTS and the song War of Hormone. The snippets contain slang that doesn't translate well to say the least. War of Hormone is basically an honest look into a teenage boys mind which I'm not sure people understood. Add to that a rather conservative society and you have a powder keg.
True
Why the death threats? In my 4 years as an army who listens a lot different music genres, Ive seen that the hate in western countries comes often because of prejudice. Bts looks seem to scare certain toxic masculine people, they often wear feminine jewlary and mix female and male clotheslines, they allways look pristine and georgeous, they are happy and positive and amazing dancers, sometimes very sensual, flirty dancers also. And this all is scary to some people whose idea of men is different, whose idea of music is different, who think pop music cant be real music and are angry that this bubblegum, manufactured boyband has gotten this much fame and glory and in their minds its because people dont understand what real music and art is. What I love about Bts is the thing that they break so many barriers, they make pop music that has a message, they break gender style boundaries, redefine masculinity, show that you can be goofy and adorable and still serious, when its about music that you make. Kpop fandoms then, thats a totally another issues, Ive never seen that kind of anti action in my 40 year life before got to know Bts. In kpop, there is so many toxic fans whose main purpose is to bash other bands. And sometimes if people come to your videos saying bad things to you, you cant even be sure if they are armys or if they are antis, who come to Bts videos wanting to make the army look bad. Im telling you, Ive never seen this kind of thing, so weird. But I am loving your videos, thank you for making these! 💜
Truth. Lots of antis pose as army to make us look bad. It’s so strange to me. I have listened to rock and metal most of my life. Things like that don’t really happen in the metal world.
I am a 67 year old Army who discovered these wonderful boys in 2015. I have never in all my years seen the level of hate against a musical artist until I got into them. Social media makes it too easy to spew this type of hate, and I find it really sad. It serves no purpose, and it makes me wonder what goes on in a persons life that makes them so hateful. There is a lighter video called Karma is an Army that kinda talks about hateful comments, but shows how Army comes through for them. You might enjoy watching that. The song that was mentioned to have lyrics against women is called "War of Hormone" which is actually one of my favorited songs by them. The lyrics are actually pretty tame, and compared to what's spewed in todays lyrics I don't understand the problem. Death threats are on another level. Someone who would stoop that low needs some serious help. That is beyond mental. I just try to ignore all the negative things I hear and just try to focus on BTS themselves, because at the end of the day, they are what matters. They are 7 of the most talented peopled I have ever had the pleasure of discovering. I really hope you continue on this journey. It will be one of the most enjoyable adventures of your life, I promise.
I’m the same! I’m 51 and was never into boy bands especially. When BTS dropped their debut MV I was at a friend’s house just catching up on the latest groups to come out.
I did cringe a little, I can’t lie. But I could see what they were trying to convey, and the song was so catchy. The DANCING really made me do a double-take, because there was something more to it than the other Kpop groups I’d been enjoying.
Time went by, more songs came out, and eventually they put out their No More Dream dance practice. “Dance practice?? They’re sharing their DANCE PRACTICE?!? Where’s the popcorn, girl press play, nobody does this.” (But now they do. *ahem* say it with me now-BTS paved the way. 😄)
I’m a dance fanatic and it was all over but the shouting at that point. And I’ve never looked back. These guys are just amazing. 💜
@@LillianOglethorpe
I just discovered them a year ago. (I was kinda stuck on my favorite bands from my youth, so yeah... the "under the rock" thing) I'm mostly confined to bed due to illness, so I have a looot of time on my hands. Girl, I have been binging on everything BTS I could get my hands on ever since! They've made such a huge impact on my life, mentally and physically. I even joined a fan club for the first time in my life - at 45 years old! Totally grateful to them and definitely ARMY for life... 💜
@@imajinallthepurple Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry that you are living with this challenge! But I'm very thankful that you have found BTS and that they are able to bless you. I, too, joined a fan club for the first time EVER in my life. Crazy!!! But I'm here for it, all day and all night. It's for BTS.
@linda Holmes - fantastic comment. I agree with everything you wrote.
Well said. 58 year old ARMY here.
I think you'll like Xceleste's "This is BTS ARMY" video since you are so fascinated about the fandom.. It delves a little bit deeper on the fandom itself! 💜 Thanks for all you do and trying to understand us! Borahae! 💜
Omg yes. To get to know the fandom better. I totally agree
Yes, that would be nice💜
Just like you, it was the fandom along with their humbleness that sucked me in. In my 50s I never thought I would be listening to a ‘boy band’. Now I’m enjoying their amazing music along with their positive message and the company of Armies. What I feel for this group is not just love but absolute respect. They also inspire me to both be more positive, but also to try to be a better person overall.
Well said. Same for me and I am 48.
Same here , I am 58 😜🇨🇦
Same here and I'm 65
There song war of Hormone was called misogynistic by women's groups and yet it is a song depicting the fight that teenage boys have with their hormones at an age when everyone male and female goes through it. It was sad
A good video for a breakdown of the members is “An introduction to the 7 members of BTS (2021 update)” by Ida S.
Yesss 💜
Yeaasssssss the best one 🙌💯
Yes
Yasssss
Definitely the most up to date one out there 👍
Thank you for your time reacting to this.... even until today BTS still strive to overcome the hates they're getting and BTS only has ARMYs.
Whenever you have time, the Army-made docuseries The Rise of Bangtan is always great one to watch. Again, thank you and take care!
- a fan from Malaysia
Agreed. That docuseries starts at the very beginning but you really get a good understanding of the K-pop industry and what they have to deal with and the intense competition with hundreds of groups every year.
Yes, THIS is the BEST documentary series about BTS on internet right now. It doesn't even look fan made of how professional it looks!!
Yes. It might take time to get there but I believe he can do it
the series is absolutely amazing! It had been mid 2021 that I "stumbled" over BTS (must've been living under a rock or sth). Since then I try to get to know BTS better and The Rise of Bangtan is gold for me!
BTS has said that when mountainous obstacles are placed in their way, they climb each one hand in hand with ARMY. They mean that too.
Thank you for your reaction and your showing of respect for us.... it is very much appreciated that you are actually educating yourself about BTS and ARMY.... it will be a pleasure to join you on your journey.... please don't hesitate to ask us questions if you are unsure about anything.... I have liked and subscribed and look forward to more... sending love from Sydney Australia... Borahae 💜
To give a little context on V talking about his grandmothers death: this was during one of their concerts and he did it to address some comments from fans asking if he was ok perhaps because he has been looking kinda down for a while. He was really broken by her death because he was on their world the tour when she died and he was not able to come back home immediately for it. He also said that it was his dream to give a shout out to his grandma while in one of the tv shows but never got to because they only got the opportunity when they won more which was more than a month after her death. He said he believed that his grandma was now their guardian Angel that watches over them. And if you just knew how significant this is… he has always believed in angels and to this day we see him call upon angels for luck and protection when playing games in their variety shows 💜 such a sweet sweet boy
My heart still hurt thinking of the pain he went through, especially after how antis used her passing as some sort of gotcha moment. 💔
I’m a baby army even though I’m 47 years old. I’ve only started with BTS for over 2 years now. I started with their car karaoke and dived in with no regrets. It is said that you find BTS when you most need them. I have learned so much from them and they have helped me through some dark times. I’m so grateful for these 7 beautiful individuals.
I always wondered what the "baby ARMYS" I saw from videos like Carpool Karaoke were doing nowadays. I'm glad you decided to stick around and that the boys were there for you when you needed them. 😊 Its truly amazing the amount of happiness these guys bring to millions, and I couldnt be prouder by the results
suga made a song opening up about his mental health struggles called “the last” and it’s such a raw and powerful song it always makes me tear up
There is actually an updated version of this video that has more of their hardships in recent years.
I just noticed that. Chances are I’ll do a video for updated hardships soon.
@@JimGames in the updated one, xCeleste narrates so it is more like the introduction video that you reacted to earlier.
@@JimGames You definitely should. The updated version does contain some of the same things but it's narrated, contains way more incidents to this date and puts things more into context. F.ex. it contains the recording of the customer care call. 💜
@@JimGames Yes 💜💜 updated version goes deeper into some of the questions u were asking. I think everything u asked will be answered in the updated version 2013-2021
yes please do.. it includes more of their struggles when they get huge in the west..
Thank you Mr Jim for your reaction👍As you can see I can relate with Mr Min Yoongi vibes in his rap because I'm also battling depression😥
Stay strong!
Same here
hugs. Fighting!
Just to add to my other I forgot to mention. What I loved about BTS is their humbleness, their love for ARMY (they always thank ARMY and give ARMY credit for where they are now and that is something I have never seen from another artist before) and also how genuine they are. You can see it in their performances, their interactions with others, and when I started watching their shows (Run BTS, Bon Voyage, and BTS in the Soop) they just give off positivity and their love for each other. All of these things and of course their amazing talent is what made me become ARMY.💜
Also note that they were so different from other bands that were debuting and playing on the radio in korea. They built a huge international audience almost first before Koreans accepted them. Main reason is because their song lyrics we're going against society and social norms. In that culture they were going against people with serious power to maintain their art and craft and to say what they needed to say.
About the hate let me explain it to you, Back in the days from years 2013-2016 most of the hate they got was mainly from "FANWARS" ( Self explicable, this is because Kpop has a hundred of groups and each has a fanbase but these small fanbases got jealous of what BTS is receiving so its been a part of their lives to drag BTS down), And when BTS started promoting in the west they got so much popular than before making them the first ever kpop boy group to chart in the BBMAS and has reached the highest place as a kpop group back in 2017, but some western media couldnt accept this kpop thing and some has degraded the industry and mainly was the targeted kpop group BTS since they were the biggest at that time. But who cares about those hate we just going to keep on grinding.
BTS, MIC DROP - "Another trophy, My hands carry em. Too many i cant even count em" just a cool line from them XD
I am a senior BTS Army, yes we have a senior division that communicates with each other,I have been Army since 2012 when I found them on CZcams and thought they were these funny young guys,but over the years I have cried for them,who and why did they get so much hurt,and I could feel the hurt their parents must have felt for their children as I have 3 sons,but these funny little guys have shown me so much strength and honor in the way they live life,they love everything and everyone, we as ARMYs feel the love so we love them back,BTS were sent by the universe to heal and spread love, acceptance,positivity and ARMYs have picked up the baton .ARMYs and BTS are connected by an invisible line directly to each other’s heart,I will love ARMYs and BTS forever.#BTS Halmoni at 70 yrs#Thank you BTS parents #i purple you 😁💜👵🏽👍🏽
It's not just BTS, but they are one of they biggest targets of all this sort of hate. Nothing like anti-s trending about how teenage boys (and older) are 'too fat and ugly' or using homophobic/transphobic slurs to start TRENDING worldwide. It's disgusting. Artists have ended their own lives for this sort of stuff before and yet people laugh about it like it's all funny. It's terrible. Taehyung's grandmother was the one that made me the most angry. JOKING about the woman who raised him dying is just beyond cruel.
The fact that antis still make disgusting jokes about it to this day genuinely makes me nauseous. How anyone can say the things that antis do I will never know; why would you make it your entire personality to hate on someone that only seeks to spread positivity and healing?
Me as an older army wish that everybody got to see how humble ,talented and artistic these men are and I am proud that I be a part of the army family💜💜
“An introduction to the 7 members of BTS (2021 update)” by Ida S is the most updated video and so gooooooood
😭I will never understand the hate they receive 😭 the antis are still at it to this day. A lot of other fandoms gang up together to sabotage BTS and ARMY...we will always protect them to the best of our ability. Some of us are more aggressive than others. It might not be right but we have so much love and passion for them. We try to be positive when ever possible. We want to spread and share the best of BTS. I fell in love with them after RMs speech at UN. I fell in love with them as people before I really experienced them as artists. Thoughtful, respectful, compassionate, passionate, generous people!! Stan a group that stans you back💜 ARMY BORAHAE 💜
I like the idea that you want to learn about them individually. All of them has a own story and their special personalities. They are really incredible
Yeah I liked that too. He has army material lol
It's good to see people actually caring for bts . This is one of the most genuine reaction I've ever seen. Loved it!!
what i really respect about bts is that they ALWAYS learn from their mistakes and they prove it times and times again that they always strive to be better. they are such good role models
BTS was getting hate in Korea before they got big. Fandoms for other groups were feeling threatened that these guys could really top their favorites. But it also wasn't just from the fandoms, the other record labels also had pull with the media. But now that BTS are one of they biggest artists in the world they really are the pride of South Korea, even to citizens who don't even listen to kpop.
BTS are now and have been dealing with the blind hatred from western audiences, people deliberately making comments "I thought they were girls" "they must be lip syncing."... It's at a point right now where their chart success is "diminishing the importance of the charts".
These guys really can't catch a break anywhere they go, but the beautiful thing is that none of it has ever stopped them. They are reaching higher than any of their dreams could have imagined, and they do it the fans follow them because of their sincerity.
ARMY and BTS really have a symbiotic relationship of taking care of eachother and working hard for eachother. It's a wonderful thing to be a part of.
Going back to the misogynistic lyrics/song (war of hormones) as a woman I've never found it that it is misogynistic or anything like that in any way, as I believe that's its about how guys hormones make then feel when they see a girl.... its one of the first songs by bts I'd heard 💜.
I'm a 65 yr old female and I never thought it was misogynistic. Yes I believe in women's rights but I think some of the women in the women's rights movement just look for things to complain about. Like all groups for all different kinds of rights. You have good and bad, leaders and sheep in all. It just is sad to me that this song was picked on so badly. It is an honest interpretation of the raging hormones of young men AND women from teens through early twenties. It does take a war with your hormones to remain up right
Tae mentions his Grandmother to reassure Army’s that he was ok, just grieving as anyone would do (people had raised concerns about him looking down or depressed). His tears are genuine, and it took enormous courage for such a young man to talk about a very personal and painful event, in front of thousands - he could not help but cry, he adored his Grandma - and he was still just 20 years old here (it’s November 2016, and he would turn 21 on December 30th). He is completely heartbroken, and would not know how to use this to gain sympathy!! The people who say such things should be ashamed.
Thank you for your reaction. I really appreciate you investing in this great group.
I am a 60 year old grandmother who became an ARMY last year. I cried every time I thought about V and his grandmother.
Thanks again.
Well darn, I’m a year late, but welcome baby Army! I guess I don’t have to tell you that you’re in for a ride, since you’ve already been on it for a while. I’m not a grandma, but I am 51 and have a tender heart and protective streak, so you’d better believe I get all SORTS of emotions over his tears. I know we just want so much to snuggle him and feed him and make him smile when we watch that. I’m so glad they have each other for support.
@@LillianOglethorpe hi babies, I am a 70 yr old great grandmother and an Army since before debut in 2012, have been to a concert and have tickets to the next one when it’s rescheduled,We are young forever,just like BTS said ..😁👵🏽💜👍🏽
@@mariewhite1894 Yaaaaaaas! I've been to five shows so far, and each one has been amazing in different ways. I still have my cancelled 2020 ticket and I WILL be there!
You've gained a subscriber! I love how you are taking everything at face value, and taking your time to get to know who they are, not only what they produce. I'm a 31 year old fan who was exposed to BTS and became ARMY because I teach Business English to Korean students.
I agree that you are in a unique position to react to BTS... Not only can you watch their history and funny videos to get ahold of their personalities more, you can even start from the beginning with their first video and watch them in chronological order if you desire!
There's just soooo much content.... The videos marked with BU are also part of one big storyline that is in the works to even become a drama series!
To be honest, no one ever give me comfort as much as BTS musics/contents and ARMY as a fandom. Ofc toxicity is everywhere even in the fandom sometimes, but good sides always reside. I never thought being in a fandom can give you this much happiness, inspiration, motivation, emotions, connection, the list go on. Knowing bts just makes u want to be better each day, to be happy everyday, to be wise, to be good human, good people. I thought being in a fandom isnt forever, but dare i say i wanted to be in this family forever. Some say liking artists is temporary, they wont be there forever, they dont even know you. True, but BTS is different, they make you feel belonged and known, that BTS & ARMY are in this together forever. They showed our unity through music, through the lyrics, what they said in Livestream, the way they show gratitude, they make songs that said "our connection is destiny, if there is no you there is no me". BTS have changed the industry by their authenticity, they changed the idea that connection through online is temporary, they bring meanings to this connection and relationship of BTS & ARMY. Im so proud of them and I want to be here forever. Even when Im older, when maybe im a bit wiser and a bit more mature, I just wanted to be here as Army who appreciate BTS's arts and music, who appreciate their existence as human who live everyday trying to be better. As long as BTS will be here to give us their voices and art, i will be here to appreciate them for as long as i can.
BTS is going to release their new song 'Permission to Dance' on July 9th 2021, 00:00 EST. I'm really looking forward to see your reaction to that music video later^^
Anyone know when it's releasing in cst?

@@keciaandthepurpleheart2961 thank you!
i want to mention something they've said this june during the 8th anniversary celebration. the theme of the talk was "2!3!" which is a 2016 song for the fans with a really sweet and comforting message (which was also playing in the end of the video). “2, 3” is what bts say before introducing themselves, and this phrase is also used for hypnotherapy. the song is about finding comfort in each other while using pain, suffering and sadness in ourselves as a motivation to live through these hardships
so the qoute (i combined words from a few members as they were discussing it all together)
"Let's have some time to think about its meaning once again. We had been through a hard time, but army... got hurt too. We were supposed to shield all the repression, but army were enduring it with us. Through this song, I feel like it became a secret code for army and us. I feel like we can talk about this now and here what I think. For those three years, 2015, 2016, 2017, it was tough for us and our fans and there were many people who hated us. army were trying so hard to protect us and we tried harder than anyone else [to prove themselves] while making content and doing other things. When I look back at those three years they mean a lot to me. It was such a good song that comforted us. We'll sing it on stage [again] with army someday. When we sing 2!3! you can see army fans at the front line and they all cry" (from [2021 FESTA] BTS (방탄소년단) ‘아미 만물상점’ #2021BTSFESTA)
i just think it shows the connection we have and that we try to take care of each other the way we can. bts and army are a family
if you are interested in the song, i really recommend to watch this particular performance, when army made a surprise project for bts concert to turn all lights at the stadium purple (before that lightsticks were only white, and that's actually how purple became bts' color, but that's another story) it's very touching. bts's speeches have subs there. search it as "2! 3! (2016 Purple ocean project by Army and BTS reaction to it) @ 3rd Muster in Seoul 161113"
sadly there's no lyric subs in this video, so you can refer to the Doolsetbangtan website for a good translation (we will gladly watch lyric analysis too) or at least use lyric videos on yt from the channels like af taehyung, kpop vine or zaty farhani, who has decent translations and line distribution
i also really hope you'll watch an updated version of 'bts hardships' as it covers more indepth
thank you~
Yes
Im 47..and i am here to watch you learn and just enjoy the discovery of who BTS is..Army will always have their back ..welcome to the rabbit hole called BTS
the song that they were accused of being misogynistic on was "War of Hormones" which is literally a song that tries to depict a teenager's angst/first love of women. BTS specifically stated that they were incredibly precise with their word choice in order to make the satire more pointed. The lyric people got mad about was "women are like equations that men solve." They said it was objectifying women, but as someone who listens to rap daily I really have to laugh.....like it makes complete sense in the context of the song and the hate felt more of like a pointed attack rather than genuine worry or critisism
Yeah exactly. Their facial expressions in the MV are exaggerated/funny and show that the song is kind of joking on them. I'd consider myself feminist and don't think their early songs were that enlightened about attitudes towards women, but I don't see any offense in WOH. The chorus lyrics "girl, tell me what you want right now" is actually 100% positive in my books!
a coworker asked me yestarday "do you still listen to that gay group?" that made me sooo mad,i kept calm and responded that he would never understand why , i don"t care about their sexual orientation ,i just love them and their music ! a lot of guys i know are categorizing our boys as gay only because they look pretty,because they have no facial hair,and sometimes wear makeup! it makes me sad and at the same time i've leard a lesson to stay away from people with that mind set!
Idk having no facial hair is kinda racist cause these boys are East Asian, they don't really have that much facial hairs. And in South Korea men shave their face clean.
Really Waiting for this 💜 Thank u for your reaction and able to appreciate them and knowing them more💜THANK U SO MUCH 💜
You should absolutely react to BTS HARDSHIPS 2013 - 2021 by XCeleste an updated one this video is nothing comparing to that one, you're not gonna believe it about all their terrible hardships, the worst thing that it continues. This is the reason why we are so protective over them! I'm 51 I love them deeply as my own kids. I'm gonna support them until my death. Another good option is FROM NOBODY TO LEGENDS 2019 by XCeleste ( the most inspirational video I' ve ever seen), THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LIFE GOES ON by The Asian Theory ( To know how and where everything started) THIS IS ARMY INTRODUCTION TO ARMY by XCeleste (to know who really ARMY is) you'll blow away with this video. Thank you so much for this reaction. I've already subscribed. 💜
I was a bit confused until I understood it was an older version rs
I have to say that I so appreciate you going about BTS this way. To me, they are amazing musicians, but they are also so much more than that. I truly believe that they have the power to change the world for the better. I have become so much more open-minded about life since becoming a fan 4 years ago. I've never seen so much genuine support for an artist before, and I've also never seen so much absolute hate for them either. There really isn't any good reason to dislike them, in my opinion. I'm not saying that everyone has to enjoy or like their music, but their core values are 100% something that should be respected by everyone. Positivity, kindness, healing, equality, and unity - what is there not to appreciate?
I love to watch your videos about BTS!! They make me think back when I was just interested in BTS, like "where are they? or "why are they so popular?" and started to "like" them. know, since two years as an Army, I saw a family, they are my family. They saved and changed my life. I love them more then everything!
The clip with V talking about his grandmother... he began by explaining that fans kept asking/telling him that he looked sad so he wanted to explain to the fans why he seemed sad lately. Also, the 49th day after a death is meaningful in Buddhism; it has to do with the death and rebirth cycle before one reached enlightenment.
This video break my heart each time. Specially beacuse they were so young when they made their début ! Jungkook the youngest have only 15 years old (he became a trainee under Big Hit Entertainement at 13 ! ), and Jin the oldest was just 20. Facing so much hate, mistreatments, and disrespect is hard for an adult, but it's realy destructive for a adolescent. ,RM and also Jimin were victims of death threads . Fortunatly, they have each other as a brotherhood, they have Big Hit and the staff to help, caring and cheering, and they have ARMY in their back. They are now beautiful adults, with beautiful minds , positive value, and great ethic. I'm so proud of them ! They are not only great artists, but role models, and inspirational human being. But they still face hate and prejudice now, from antis, and from some western médias, radios, and organisations...
As an ARMY who has seen many of these hatred towards them I just laugh at it cause of how dumb these accusations were. And whats more is people really dont learn and are continuing to hate BTS with hilariously dumb reasons but lmao cause what ever they do ARMY and BTS are just going to keep winning these awards lmao XD
I feel the need to thank you for slowly learning the details about BTS. I respect that. Not just diving for more subs and views. Your are taking your time to know them. I appreciate that. Thank you. Borahae. Will be looking forward for more. Stay safe always! 💜💜💜
They actually have quite a few songs that answer back to the haters in quite powerful ways! Fighting! Looking forward to you discovering those eras as well ;-)
Just like suga said...the brighter the light, the darker the shadow will be...but they got through it...i just hope haters will stop hating them even if they couldn't love them...
Might be worth mentioning Big Hit/HYBE, BTS label started a no tolerance towards hate, harassment towards BTS and such and have a legal team constantly working on this that one can report these things to and they have a no leniency and no settlement policy and have taken quite many to court over their online activities towards BTS. (Just wanted to add that so you know BTS isnt alone they have good support by their label and ofc ARMY). What this didnt cover is how the media talks to and about them the updated version of this is better (Media would never speak to and about a western artist like they do BTS...). As for best overview of the members i really like Ida S “An introduction to the 7 members of BTS (2021 update)” its the most updated and its not biased (there is another popular one out there that many watch but its quite outdated).
i love everything xceleste, i hope you do her "this is bts army, an introduction to bts fandom"..
the rise of bangtan is also a very well made docu series by an army..
The bond of bts and army is so tight,...there's a saying now thats going around... "stan the group that stans you back". No regrets being an army..thank you for your sincerel reaction.
This is why we are protective of BTS. They try to spread positivity. Their music is great by the way. Cant wait for your reactions to them.
Moral of the story, is BTS does it, haters will always have something to say. XCeleste has an updated hardships video, 2013-2021. She goes over these incidents, with more detail, and also includes new stuff.
Jim, apologies for my sudden deluge of comments, but I had a lot of dishes to wash, so I'm catching up on your BTS reactions ☺️
It was also ARMY that ultimately made me say, I am ARMY. I'm proud to be a part of this overwhelmingly positive and respectful community.
I really appreciate your approach to getting to know BTS! It means a lot to see you really appreciating and caring about understanding them.
I think it’s a good choice to look a video that focuses on each member!
After that, I strongly suggest asking for recommendations for a video of them being silly/funny/loving with each other. When I first heard their music and saw them perform, I was impressed. But the reason I dove deeper and really became an ARMY, was because of the honesty and authenticity that shines through their non-music content. They have a tv style show plus multiple season of travel vlog/reality show, their own livestreams, plus many episodes backstage and little clips on their CZcams channel (bangtantv). There are hundreds of hours of content. What I love is that as they got more and more famous, they never lost their playfulness and real ness and silliness. They are so honest with their fans. And it’s also so nice to see them challenging some of the toxic masculinity standards. They aren’t afraid to show emotion (as you saw with V in this video) or show each other affection. They are such incredible role models.
Only found you today but you've got a new sub from me. I am loving your reactions to our sweet guys. Thank you for showing them the respect they have earned, I wish more people did the same. Army are genuinely lovely people as a whole however you may find as you delve deeper that there is a small but very vocal element that are not quite as nice. They tend to be labelled "toxic Army" by the fandom because they can be overly aggressive with their views and actions. We have a lot of in jokes and as you learn you'll hear some of them. I'll drop you one now. In the immortal words of our Jimin "You nice, keep going" lol
BTS are the sopport of millions of persons around the world, so thank you to take the time to know them like they really are. After react to Yoongi (Suga), you must react to his songs, like First Love and Shadow. He have also a soloist career under the name of Agust D, his lyrics as Agust D are so personal and meaningful. To being honest The Last of Agust D come to my life to save me, I'm still working hard to be fine, his lyrics are always there to me so maybe this is are just so personal recomendation. BTS is always there to ARMY and ARMY is always there to BTS, love your reactions
I’m so glad that you have found a safe, helpful place with BTS and Army! I know about depression and deeply hard times...sometimes it’s not even day to day, but hour to hour. You are so brave, please continue to hang in there and know that you are valuable, even if you don’t feel like it in the moment. BTS pushed through and now have many good things, and you will too. I wish you peace and many blessings. 💜
I love your reactions and how understanding u are!
if you want to see some of the BTS songs that have really deep meanings i would recommend these:
1. Blue and grey
2. Epiphany (By jin)
3. The Last ( By Agust d)
4. The truth untold (this is my favorite one)
5. singularity (This one is by V)
6. stigma (This one is also by V)
7. Butterfly
8. Spring day
9. 00:00 (Zero O'Clock)
10. Intro: persona (By RM)
11. life goes on
12. Fake love
13. House of cards
14. Awake (By Jin)
15. Answer: Love Myself
16. Black swan
Introduction of 7 members of bts 2021 update by ida s it's a good video and updated one. Thank you for being so open minded 😍
'An introduction to the 7 members of BTS (2021 update)' is one of the better videos I have seen when you are ready to learn a bit more about each member and how they joined the group :) Nice video!
I really liked your video you really seem like a genuine good person 💜
Thank you! You just made my day. :)
This is why army so protective of the boys, when its come to hate, racism, and antis all attack from all side to bring them down, we grow more and more love and never ending support to them, borahae 💜💜, thank you for the reaction
I'm so happy you're taking the time to get to know BTS and their back story. These boys are the best! A really great documentary series is The Rise Bangtan (BTS)
Thank you for taking the time to get to know them first. I agree that it will make your journey meaningful. The hate towards BTS continues to this day. As you mentioned, hateful comments and behavior says more about the hater than the object of their hate. It's something I have no control over so I just keep loving our boys. As mentioned below the new single Permission to Dance is dropping on ARMY Day, July 9. ARMY will be very busy so it's best to not post any BTS related content during the first 24 hours of a comeback. I'm really looking forward to your next reaction!
We are here with you in this beautiful journey. 💜 Love from Puerto Rico.
The boys themselves are part of what inspires ARMY to treat ourselves and others with love and respect. There is such a special relationship between BTS and ARMY because we fight for each other and try to cheer each other up when we go through hardships, but I think it really springs from the the fact that the boys have been genuine and honest with us from the very beginning.
BTS teach ARMY how to deal with these issues and you are so right in saying we can take a leaf out of their book. ARMY gets passionately upset and protective at times and BTS comes out to guide them in how to move forward in a positive way. A great example was them going live after the Grammy loss last year.
Oh I’m so joining this journey, thank you for trying get to know our precious boys. They’re indeed amazing and interesting. Lots of people complain about the new song, they can’t grasp that Bts is finally happy and they can also give us a happy uplifting song with a positive message which Ed Sheeran wrote for them. I’m looking forward to seeing your reaction xx
BTS projects positivity and acceptance, so naturally ones without hope fight against the light. They almost disbanded in 2018 but worked though it. They have opened their hearts even more and Army has joined them. Stay with the light don’t let darkness consume you 💜
I really loved your reactions so far, can’t wait for more
Good reaction, thank you. You are a well spoken, openhearted, intelligent young man. Now, it's time to get you up to speed on knowing them individually, it will help you enjoy it a lot more when you get to the music. Please consider reacting to Who Is BTS by Suga and spice, it's old, but it helped be a lot when I was trying to learn to tell them apart. There are also many other good Videos on this, but I think I have seen new reactors understand the best with this one.
Hearing V talk about his grandmother will never not make me cry. To know he went through that and had to deal with the hate on top of that makes me just want to give him the biggest hug. He and the rest of the boys deserve the best out of life.
thank you for reacting to this and being so open minded about everything from the start, we really appreciate it ♡
looking forward to your future reactions!
I remember when some fandom accused BTS and ARMY of copying their rainbow ocean made of lightsticks..it was funny😂
About Suga's depression, he had been hired as a producer to make music after he lost a rapping contest that was run by Big Hit. After they hired him Bang Shi Hyuk personally encouraged him to become part of the group he was putting together a hip hop group he told him and no no you are not going to have to dance don't worry it will be great for you. In hind sight I think Bang Shi Hyuk might have noticed that Suga was depressed and felt that leaving him in a background role would not be good for him. He needed to be part of BTS and be in the Limelight to see how much people enjoyed his music and more so as a rapper his flow and yes his poetry. His specific work is a work of art. I am almost 60 and listening to Suga rap the way he uses his breath to control his flow of rap is just beautiful.
As far as the mysognistic lyrics were not that it was others making them feel like their work was bad. You should listen to those songs. These 2 songs that they wrote, I think were just songs of boys, young men, who were expressing how they felt about their girls, of how they looks, of how they walked, of how they talked. This was a persons song about love, young love and the hormones that go with it. It makes total sense to me. "Boy In Love" and "War of Horomones" are the names of these songs.
I loved this. Its okay to feel bummed. We all feel bummed when we see them being misconstrued or attacked just as we do our own loved ones. That's why we will continue to support them- because they've worked hard and deserve all the love. They sacrificed their youth for their own passion- for their fans. Their "Blood Sweat & Tears" were shed and that's something to be respected. They're artists who appealed to our souls and inspired us to do the best we can and deal with negativity in a positive way. I really appreciate your commentary. I'm 35 and I found them at the hardest time in my life- their music has inspired me to be a better human for myself, my family, my friends, and random ppl around me. They've motivated me to become more resilient in my personal life through the messages they share but especially their willingness to be vulnerable and open 💜 BTSxARMY have a mutually exclusive relationship that transcends "traditional" concepts. It truly feels like a Renaissance. ARMYs are patrons of art and BTS is our artist.
Thank you for your reaction and please continue to be positive and spread the love and positivity... at the end of the day, that’s the important thing. BTS changes my life in the last couple of years during my hardest time and their music and energy really brightens my day. Enjoy your journey !
The 7 Bangtan members by ida s is probably the best one ☝️💜
I recommend the docuseries THE RISE OF BANGTAN (fanmade), its SUPER good. If you want to learn more about the members individually I highly recommend An Introduction to the 7 members of BTS by Ida S, its 2021 updated. I really enjoyed your reaction!
I love The Rise of Bangtan!! The docuseries is well made. I wish it was available to buy. I would definitely buy it!! 💜💜💜
i've been an army since 2015 and i can confirm the things you saw in this video, twitter seemed like a battlefield for army lol on the kpop industry the reason why bts were so attacked was because the other fandoms couldn't stand seeing bts doing numbers and get more famous than their favs (you have no idea of how crazy some kpop fans can be) :/ from outside the kpop industry, it was just pure xenophobia!
anyways, please keep reacting to them 🥺💜 support from Brazil
I love the way you've started your journey . Learning about their background before jumping on their Music, because their music were tailored each of their personalities and what the group have gone through over the years.
Thank you.💜 Keep digging man!💜
i’m so glad i found your channel 💜 i love your reactions so much! thank you for reacting to bts 😊
Thank you for reacting to this video, looking forward on your next 😍
Please also watch their reality series like American Hustle Life and Bon Voyage. It shows you their personalities as they travel outside Korea and how the cooperate with each other to complete challenges or simply cook a meal but equally it shows how incredibly funny they are too! BTS, their music and their fun energy literally brought me out of Lockdown induced depression. Welcome to the BTS rabbit hole. 💜
I've watched the vid too many times and I still shed tears rewatching.. Love your insight! I'm definitely watching you go through your journey learning more of BTS and their music :) ♥
I am so here for your journey! I’m sure I will learn so new things too! This is a smart way to do it! Very impressive
I really enjoyed your last two BTS reactions. I agreed with so many of your comments about the content you were watching. I’ve subscribed, and I’m going to check out some of your other videos. Thank you for taking the time to delve into this group.
i subscribed to you after your who is bts video. it was so nice of you to take your time to get to know them as people before their music. i can’t wait to see your later reactions to their music having the knowledge you do now. keep up the great work!💜
In case no one has said it yet just wanted to let you know that song playing at the end is 2! 3! which is a fan song they made because of all the hardships them and army had been through together.
I'll have to look into 2! 3! Thank you for taking the time to let me know.
@@JimGames it's such a meaninful and beautiful song that means a lot. Hope when you get to it you like and appreciate it as much as we do.
Thank you for starting like this. It will make you appreciate their songs even more! I enjoyed the video 'The most beautiful moment in life: The story of BTS' 🤟💜
Yes it has been a long journey but no matter what bts and army will always have eachothers backs and i hope you will they wilk have as much positive impact on you as they had on so many of us💜💜💜Thank you for reacting to this video i cant wait for more from you💜 :D
You have gained another subscriber. Love your reactions. You actually seem interested and wanting to learn and understand them. It is many youtubers that only use bts for clout because they know they have a big fanbase. Looking forward to your future reactions!
Hi! Im a 30 yo indonesian female, a new subscriber to your channel bcs i'm excited too see your next reaction about another BTS's videos. Thank you for appreciating our precious boys, thankyou for being honest and genuine. Im an ARMY for only about a year now, but feeling like they're my universe. Im so protective over these boys right now. 💜
I'm excited for your journey can't wait for you to know their songs
Thank you so much for appreciating us 😊 it makes me so happy when someone sees us as who we are instead of the stereotypical names attached to us like toxic, immature, mindless, fanatic etc. People don't realise why we're called that in the first place. It's not our fault, we simply want to defend the people we love.
I really like your humble reactions to BTS and I'm glad you will go on this journey. They are worth it, they are such beautiful and talented people 💜
Their music and their whole work (like all the videos, vlogs, Shows, the funny stuff etc) helped me so much in my own life, to see things from a different angle and specially to love myself more and become a better person
Thanks for your reaction.. really appreciating you digging deeper into our BTS world
Greetings from Jerusalem
Thank you for your sincere interest in BTS! As you will be watching more background information, you might want to know that Koreans count age differently. So, when the members themselves talk about their age, you should keep that in mind. You need to deduct 1-2 years because Koreans are consideed 1 year old when they get born and automatically turn a year older each January, no matter when their birthday is (in December, for example). So, for example, Jungkook was 17 in Korean age when he debuted with BTS, but in international age he was only 15.
I really really hope you go down this rabbit hole and I am HERE for it and trust me, ARMY are here for it and they'll find it. We like genuine shit like this because these guys are something special. There is no way to just describe them is some small paragraph.
Thanks for your reaction 💜
