- This is BTS ARMY (Reaction) | Introduction to BTS fans REACTION Video
Hello there!👋
In today's video, I continue my BTS journey by learning about the BTS ARMY. Join me as I discover BTS before hearing the music.
The BTS fans call themselves the ARMY, which stands for “Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth”. South Korean artists BTS have achieved unprecedented global success throughout the years, thanks in part to their extremely dedicated and organized fanbase, called ARMY.

Why BTS is popular - Zábava
i remember one time i think it was suga in a concert said : " I think we BTS are climbing a mountain. You’re always pushing us from behind to help us reach the top. But we don’t think that you’re pushing us from behind. We think that we’re climbing the mountain while holding hands together. Climbing up can be very tough and exhausting. So I hope when we’ll reach the top, we’ll think that all those times were the most beautiful moments of our lives " 😥💜💜💜that line will be with me forever ( " the most beautiful moment in life "was their album that they preformed at that time )
Just like BTS themselves, their words are also golden... we are really climbing together and when we will look back later on we all will have the best memories of our lives with BTS and our other fellow ARMYS
@@rituparnabose2323 this is making me so sad and nostalgic for some reason. I love you guys
BTS has a song called "louder than bombs" you should listen to when you get to their music
RM (Namjoon) wrote the song, he wrote it as almost an apology to the fans, from his realization that he cant help everyone, he will always do his best to be here for us (ARMY). But he isn't magical. But "If not us, yeah, who will do it?" (lyric from the song) He needs to try, he needs to try and be there for us. They are very aware that their music is helping us through dark times and we find comfort in them and we seek them and look to them for comfort and warmth. The song was written with the realization that no matter how much he wants to and tries, he cant personally be there for every single one of us, but he is gonna try.
The other members also did work on the lyrics for this. But RM was the one that came up with the idea, and he said he cried while writing it. Is for ARMY, but also singing about their own pains.
But they have a TON of mental health aware songs, and many singing directly to ARMY.
If you read lyrics and something looks like its written for a lover or girlfriend... 90% of the times, they are talking about ARMY. (Their old music, not so much xD but I am talking DOPE-era and out)
Louder the bombs is an amazing song. And the part when it said " louder then bombs I sing' there voices sounded hurt and it tight so good with the message of the song.
YES everytime I listen to the song I have the urge to cry but I love it so much
Louder Than Bombs is one of my favorite songs from them because it is directly addressing us and our relationship with them as well as the pain they've experienced and likely will experience in the future. My favorite line from the song is, "no matter what waves crash over us, we will continue to sing for you." It is SO reassuring, that they are pretty much vowing to us that they will continue to try and support us even if they are hurting or tired. As someone who wakes up most days only because of BTS, that kind of stability is extremely reassuring and it helps me to fight off those incessant thoughts of never being able to actually he friends with BTS. Songs like LTB reinforce the bond we have with them and prove that they don't just see us fans. They see us as friends and as people worth doing all they can for. Just knowing how aware they are of us is healing.
@@indigodragon0613 omg yes it's also my favorite song it makes me cry when i listen to it you explained this so well
Just gonna put it out there, since this video was made, Butter debuted at No1 on the billboard hot 100, stayed there for 7 straight weeks, then Permission To Dance by BTS took No1 for one week. And now Butter is back at No1 ! So more records broken by BTS!
Wow!
1 more added😊😊
It's 10 weeks now... Yay!! 😁💜
yep yep
@@JimGames nods
I also want to give a heads up. The Army is definitely not a perfect fandom. There are fans who are toxic or overly sensitive/aggresive. I think there are always going to be bad apples in any large fandom, community, or group. With that being said, the overall vibe I get from being in this fandom space is overwhelmingly positive and I've honestly never had a better experience being a part of something
I came here to say the same thing. 😅 I just want to add that there're also antis who pose as ARMYs to discredit both BTS and ARMY.
If you encounter any of these negative categories of people please know that most of us don't consider them true ARMYs since they clearly haven't understood even the basic messages of BTS such as love, respect and inclusiveness.
There's also a lot of people like solo stans or kpop fans that people tend to assume are ARMYs, even when they are not. Unfortunately, we also have to deal with people assuming everyone who speaks about BTS is an ARMY, when that's not true.
Well said. Even tho there is also toxic fans in ARMY( as in all fandom). The people that are true armys are so nice and amazing people that bts changed there life's. I sometimes see other peoples life's and what there going through and I think to myself, I wander what bts will do for them. One of the reason why we love new reactors is because we want to send that music to the world, you never know what someone is going through, you might do something amazing is someone else's life, just like bts does.
I can’t help but think about, if you gather a few people in a room, there will be one or two who are challenging to deal with. Imagine a huge group like ARMY. There has to be some who don’t represent the behavior of the majority.
I agree 100%
Man, I'm 40; an engineer and a teacher. Mic Drop got me into BTS, 'cause it inspired me to go to the gym more. Since then, my journey with BTS and ARMY has been more than wonderful. Taught me to forgive myself, love myself more, value life more. Respect to these boys and the fandom. 💜
💜
Same with me.. mic drop got me into BTS
Hello,
A real good series is The Rise of Bangtan. It is the same name as the channel. Very good about learning some new things of BTS. It starts at the beginning.
💜GJL

THE KING
Please keep in mind, our fandom does have its toxic side. Also, Bts has almost 300 songs in their discography, not all of their songs are my taste, its okay of its not your taste. I still appreciate the music though.
Ys all fandoms have those bad apples, we are big in number so we have few of them. But honestly i dont consider toxic people as army because they are not living upto the things that bts stands by and they are spreading hatred and toxicity instead of love and respect.
@@aryacs6863 yes exactly
Yes all of there songs are SUPER DIFFERENT so you might not like some and love others
@@aryacs6863 Completely agree. I don't like to refer to them as army either (toxic/ obsessive fans, solo stans etc).
Those fans are fakes. Not really a fans. They are antis or hates the bts. Real fans dont do that. My own opinion.
there's a quote "i get why you would fight for bts, it's because they made you fight for you" and yes. bts make me braver when it comes to standing up for my values, and this leads to so many good changes, i can't be thankful enough to them
these boys are literally the reason i survived the worst years of my life. their music, funny videos, concerts, the fandom (i met my best friend because of them) and even posts on social media made me feel like i was not alone and this is what happened to a lot of us. they helped us to find the best part of ourselves and we did the same to them 💜 i absolutely love you bts jorney, it's very unique!! please keep reacting to them. love and support from Brazil 🇧🇷
I think I´ve told you before but I´ll gladly say it again: I absolutely LOVE youre reactions to BTS and the way you take it all in. I love that you are an empathatic person, that you feel protective of them allready, just like the rest of us. I have no doubt, that once you get into their music, you will love that too. Borahae
Thank you for the kind words and being here for my BTS journey.
@@JimGames Love your journey 💜 It's special
I really like your journey so far. Thank you for getting to know a little bit about the fandom. I can't wait for you to get to "7 members of bangtan". Love your reactions and how nice and expresive you are. Early welcome to the fandom.
Im a 25 yr Cardiology/Tele Nurse and a grandmother of 4. I grew up a classic rock enthusiast. I love these young men and its about time, this is what the world needs. More positive and real artists. Life artists. So much hype, and negativity that is accepted as the norm. We are missing beauty, hope, positivity. Tired of the angst and powerlessness. Lets lead by action.
What I really liked about this reaction is how you didn't shy away for a moment to accept ignorance and a certain prejudice you had about BTS and ARMY prior to starting your journey. I really appreciate your honesty and yeah ARMYxBTS is a relationship which can't be described in words. I've been a part of this fandom since 2016 and not only do BTS songs and their eloquently spoken words help me but their genuineness, sincerity, humility, passion for what they do and the hard work they put in for even tiniest thing makes me love them even more. Not to mention their unique personalities making us laugh every moment and the lengths they go to just treat us fans right. Absolute legends.
Also welcome to the fam💜
Symbiosis...Army and BTS. YES! RM said just the other day in a video gift to Army, "I am Army, Army is me. It's like we're one." Of course, they have people that plan their marketing or video content, thinking about what their fans might like to see but let me tell you about yesterday... I was sitting in the sun in a park in Scotland when my phone bing-ed so I checked it and saw that a Live session was starting on VLive. I opened the app to find JHope live. Excited expecting maybe 20mins if I was lucky but no... he happily spoke to us and then walked us to the dance practice studio and put music on and stretched and steet danced live for ages, laughing, smiling, chatting...at 1am Korean time! He then walked us all back to his studio (via the washroom lol) said he was scared (big empty bldg) so put on Permission to Dance and then talked some more apologising to Korean and foreign armies who he was keeping up as it was now after 2am in Korea! He wished one person congrats for graduating that day and was just so genuine. All in all he was live chatting, dancing with Army for 1hr20m and this was defo not planned by the PR team. He simply wanted to connect with Army. It was incredible to get a free dance show, smiles, laughter, chat from JHope!! What other major star does that? When it finally ended I was so full of energy even I was shocked at myself and felt so happy to have shared that moment. Symbiosis indeed.
Also by way of scale for global Army, I screensaved the final numbers watching his VLive and they were: watching 6.48million and Likes 858+million! Thanks for taking this journey. You won't regret it. 💜💜
Did you catch JungKook's VLive today which he gave sang songs requests from viewers in his Room for a mini concert? There were over 10 million viewers watching with over 1 Billion likes! (and it was also 1 am Korea time). These boys always give unexpected gifts for fans! V even texted on it "TTTTTTT He's not in his right mind! TTTTT" haha!
@@fy3845 Yes!!!! I couldn't believe it and when he started doing BTS songs and choreo for Dope... OMG! 10million+ yep! How lucky were we? 😁
@@fy3845 omg I couldnt stop laughing 🤣
about the selling out random products
again, from the newest article-interview with jungkook
"I think you must know that you’ve had an influence on a lot of people. Partway into your V LIVE, you talked about how you couldn’t find any of the kombucha you drank before anymore because it was all sold out and you thanked your fans for giving a little help to small business owners.
Jung Kook: Restaurants aren’t doing well and there’s a lot of closed-up shops in the markets now, as you know. So if I’ve had an effect on even one person, it’s been worthwhile. And sometimes the people I’ve had an influence on go on to make donations, too. There could always be someone who takes advantage of the things I say or do, but I’m confident a lot of people will use them for good"
they even use this power to help some people. jungkook is the sweetest
So many of us were already donating to BLM organizations before BTS even donated because so many of us are black or POC ourselves. I barely had money because I work in the hotel industry and everything was shut down but ofc I donated. Then once we found out BTS donated 1M it really bolstered all of us. So with millions of us from all over the world making micro donations of 5, and 10, and 20 dollars we were able to meet 1M in a day. One of the happiest times in this fandom seeing all my fellow ARMYs come together to support something so dear to me. I've been an ARMY since 2014 and that wasn't the first instance of me experiencing ARMYs kindness to each other first hand. I was gifted a free BTS ticket when I couldn't afford it by an ARMY. When I travelled to NY with a group of friends to see BTS another year two girls were scammed out of accommodations and we took them into our hotel room no problem. I love BTS so much but I also love ARMY a bunch.
This is exactly what I’m talking about! The BTS ARMY actually cares for each other.
@@JimGames We really do. The best fandom I’ve ever been apart of.
@@YoongisAurora yup we are family..and that's what we do...we stand for each other and for BTS together.. BTS & Army are like my second home💜
@@aishwaryaahirrao Definitely! 💜💜💜
stop! you're making me cry 😭😭😭
I believe RM has said “BTS is ARMY, ARMY is BTS”. There is definitely a symbiotic relationship between us.
an update :" butter " was the 1 in billboard for 7 weeks then their new song " permission to dance " and now butter is back with the 8th week 😆
But what about next week for butter I have high hopes but maybe it won’t last for another week but it's ok
@@musicdayjikook986 it's now 9weeks 😆😆😆😆😆😆
For lyrics:
Rappers (RM, Suga and Jhope) write lyrics for their own raps. For the other lyrics of the song, RM is heavily credited since he is the main lyric writer for the group (we think he is a poet, tbh). Vocalists Jin, Jimin, V and Jungkook write lyrics as well specially for their solo songs in BTS albums.
All 7 members submit lyrics if they want to participate. They then choose what they like best among the submissions based on their theme and concept.
For producing:
All members have a hand in producing BTS songs and solo projects, even their vocalists. Jin (Abyss), Jimin (Promise), V(Sweet Night) and Jungkook(Magic Shop) have production credits. All members submit a beat/demo to BH when theyre working on a new album. They then choose the one they like best and build it on depending on their their theme.
Suga is most credited member in producing while RM is the most credited for lyrics.
It’s alright, do it your way. I love your reactions. Ypu can check their music in your perfect right time. What you’re doing right now is awesome. Thank you for your reactions💜💜💜
I love how you reflect on your first video after learning new stuff about ARMY and BTS 💜 you know, I wish I had BTS in my life when I was a teen. The message they spread would help me through my struggle of finding myself and my place in life. I am glad for younger generation ARMY who learns all those things from BTS and ARMY in early age
Please react to The Rise of Bangtan ongoing series, is the best documentary about BTS and KPOP out there and the best part is that is from the members perspective you dont gonna regret watch that
I think I will. Thank you for sharing 😊
XCelest is a darling to the fandom.
Can I make simple request, please don't call BTS fans crazy. We are passionate and devoted, but not crazy. BTS only want to spread positivity and love around the world and they receive the most unwarranted hate, racism, and xenophobia. Also congrats on BTS replacing themselves again at number 1 on the billboard hot 100 with Butter. The first artist to do that twice since the Beatles. People really need to get the stereotype that "boy bands" are only for young and female audiences out of their head. I kind of chuckle a little when haters will comment BTS fans will grow up and develop a better taste of music. Funny considering most BTS fans are adults. I would react to the video An introduction to the 7 members of BTS (2021 update) by Ida S. It tells you more about each member, their role in the group, and how they became apart of BTS. Thanks for reacting.
BTS do not like it when people call us crazy either 🤭💜 I will never forget when they first started doing radio interview in the US back in 2017 and Joon would change the questions when interviewers asked them for "crazy fan" stories and instead asked the boys for their favorite or memorable moments with fans.
My apologies I meant no disrespect.
@@JimGames It's alright, I know you didn't mean it in a rude way and we're so used to using the description in everyday life. I would just try to avoid saying it if you can, especially when other terms are more accurate and positive. Thanks for reacting.
@@bulletproofdreamers8541 Wasn't there also an interview where they were asked if the fans have ever tried to hurt them? And RM just replied he hurts himself never the fans. Sometimes I just hate American interviews and I'm American. They need to come up with more interesting questions about their music and creative process instead of asking questions about girlfriends, collaborations, etc.
@@crystalsnow1138 Yes! There was! They tried to get a crazy fan story out of him but he responded the fans do not hurt him, he hurts himself.
There are very few American interviewers I trust to be honest; I am glad they never went back to Ellen after a couple of shows. James Corden, Jimmy Fallon, Zach Sang and a couple of other ones. But it is sad how short the list is because people cannot be respectful or ask interesting questions.
I've only been part of ARMY for the last three months. And I too didn't understand what BTS was all about at first. My first exposure to them was also Butter. But I quickly fell down the rabbit hole, first of their discography, then their formation, hardships, and accomplishments, and then so much more. It's okay to be innocently ignorant. I don't think anyone can truly blame you for not knowing in the beginning. It's great that you're taking the time to learn so much about them, though, just because the ARMY has expressed to you how much more there is to them. Not everyone would do that. I look forward to continuing to see your journey through much more BTS content!
i got into bts a little bit before film out, like around when they lost a grammy and i fell down the rabbit hole HAHAH
I got Into them because of my friend and my fist song that I heard was "I need U" and I really like how they were talking about bulling and the relationship between parents and of course the BU. But when I got to know more about that I really liked their message and them as people. Being an army was the most amazing thing that ever happened to me. Thy helped me get through a lot of stuff and there album BE helped me so much during the pandemic, I am really greatful I found them when I needed them the most.
@@bethzymaciasramirez5325 I think that's one of the most beautiful things about BTS. Their messsages, whether or not it's through their music or actions or direct speech, touch people from all walks of life. No member of ARMY is the same as one another but we don't have to be. All we have to be is *us*. Be *human.* Be *kind.*
Silver army here 👵🏼 77❣️ And of sound mind 🧠 Once you delve deeper into BTS you will come to realize their impact on all peoples of all ages💝 so welcome , I look forward to more of your reactions 💜
I'm an army since 2017 and I'm almost 20 now. all of us are different and that's the coolest part of being here..honestly
We have been blessed over the last week to get live streams from 4 of the members. Most of them only short but the fact they took 20 mins out of their busy day, when they could have spent that time relaxing and decompressing, just to speak and connect with army is beautiful. When butter hit 7 weeks at number 1 all the members expressed their gratitude. Jimin even posted a photo doing a full bow, **Thank you to the ARMY who pointed out this is called prostrating, not a full bow**which is something done to show extreme respect and is not done lightly. We are lucky to have members who are humble, grounded and dedicated to their craft and fans. I'm glad you are enjoying your journey and I hope you continue. Borahae from Aussie ARMY.
Jimin did not bow. A bow is a what Koreans and Japanese do on a daily basis as a form of greeting or gratitude. He prostrated. Arms, knees, forehead touching the floor. Something you do only for Kings and Gods. So it was a big deal.
@@babyj4087 sorry didn't know the proper word for it. Just knew it was a big deal.
@@babyj4087 Thank you for the information. I'm from America and had always thought that what Jimin did was a bow. Thank you for teaching us something new.
@@bts_army_mum8817 its ok dear no need to apologize, no damage done.
@@Hotshortie most people do understand it as a "bow". Which is fine but I just want to emphasize that the action is deep & beyond bowing. When I saw the pic, I was moved to tears 😭😭😭. The photo was also carried on front page local korean newspaper.
We welcome you with open arms! I can't wait for you to delve deeper into each member and see the artistry behind their music, and how much they've touched so many lives. They've changed my life for the better and I hope you eventually feel the same thing that we ARMY feel. I'm really enjoying this journey that you're on!
The Match A Million event for the BLM movement will always be memorable to me. Twitter ARMY were all so amazing, hyping every cent or any amount that each person donated from all over the world just to achieve the goal, and we did it in one day. It was an amazing and emotional day.
#Respect! I'm so glad you're choosing this journey this way. I love that you want to learn all about them!
i believe you can now start with their music... ☺ you'll know them even better by diving into their discography while watching othe docu series in the process... thank you..
I’m tempted!
I’d like to add that we don’t know for sure how much BTS has actually donated, because they keep most of their donations private and we only learn about it if their donations are revealed by the organizations they donated to. They don’t do it for clout or anything. It is just who they are.
I'm a grandma and I love these young men as a human being and as entertainers. They sure rock my world with their music.
There is really no process or definite point to declare you are Army.
An ARMY friend once said, *"I went from being a single mother who wanted to check out a boy band that popped up and then literally just found myself fighting against racism and serious social norms."*
And I feel the same way. I really had no interest whatsoever in anyone other than myself and then one day, I'm talking to random people across the world about their depression and helping them out.
Just watching all their content suddenly does something to you that is really unexplainable and you just find yourself doing something for someone.
Sorry, the miss the a word in the channel names; TheRiseOfBangtanOffical. It has 12 chapters plus bouns and delete scenes..
Love to all AMRY's 💜
please react to “bts’s contribution to music” and “bts from nobodies to legends” from xceleste. also “the most beautiful life goes on: a story of bts” by Asian theory. for an introduction to the members individually please react to “an introduction to the 7 members of bts” by ida s. love your reaction and a new subscriber here!
Upppp upppp uppppp
UP!
This comment needs to go UP! ☝
im so grateful to BTS and theur music which helped me a lot. and i know some ARMYs are not so nice, majority are really kind and fun loving people. i am now learning Korean with 2k+ ARMYs in a virtual school and its the best! we are like a loving family who at the same time having fun learning Korean. i cant wait to meet all of them and meet up at a BTS concert! thanks for reacting to this 💜
ARMY is definitely a movement of force, we, as a whole, do so much, you should see what its like when BTS drops a new song lol if the song is set on a premiere, we are gathered in there hours before to wait, breaking a bunch of pre-show records, then once it drops, the massive streaming party begins, and we always have a opposite youtube channel that is showing a live view count with the new song plus a bunch of their other songs and in-between streaming the new song, we go view 2-3 of their other songs to boost their numbers as well and so the views on the new song won't get pinged as spam and deleted, then go back to the new song and rinse and repeat, when a new song drops pretty much all ARMYs don't sleep, unless they have to lol :) Loving your journey so far!
your journey is so fun and different, i am really enjoying this 💜
We often say this in the fandom that BTS finds you when you need them the most. They help us so much and that's what we try to do in return. Giving back is like our core value and that's what we go with while donating. Sometimes people feel ashamed that they can't donate much but armys feel proud of each other even if donate $1. So yeah that's how we are. We are a family. It feels more home than our actual homes.
Yayyy thank you!! Please react to “An introduction to the 7 members of BTS” by Ida S. It dives deep into each of the members and talks about their roles and the group. Borahae💜💜
Xcelest and Ida S. Are both amazing editors so the "7 member" video by which ever one of them will be amazing
I love when someone posts something on Twitter asking for help on a math question or anything really and Army will retweet and you see replies offering help and to check DM’s. Someone has a bad day and they’re bombarded with love. Also don’t worry we know you’re gonna love the music…no doubt about it 💜
We are a family💜
And don't worry you don't need to like there every song to be part of ARMY
I think you should watch also BTS introduction by Ida S (it’s a great updated video about members individually) and then finally dive into BTS’s music !❤️ I love ur reactions so much
The thing with BTS is unlike other artists they treat their fandom with the utmost respect. Artists don't take their fan bases seriously despite them being the consumer. Just like how BTS take ARMY seriously we take their art seriously. For anything they do we show our appreciation. Example when they didn't win the Grammy this year, the first thing they did was come online and comfort the fandom. As RM said this is a team effort.
I'm a senior citizen & it has been decades ago since i appreciated,been inspired & amazed by a group,i'm proud to be an army,BTS is my happy pill & i never get tired of their music,talent,humility and love for us ARMY'S,LOVE #BTS
I recommend for more information on each member react to Introduction to BTS 2021 by IDA S. BTS will be at the United Nations again in September. They have given a speech twice in the past which you could also react to. They gave one in 2018 and another one in 2020 and I believe they will be giving another one this year.
Yes they will speaking at the United Nations again this year..I cant remember the date tho.
I think one best time travel introduction would be The Rise of Bangtan Series. It's a 12 episode of their journey starting in their debut days. It also contains their daily vlog back then, logs, and some of behind their stage like how they produce, how they make a concept, how they learn hiphop and how they perform and some moments with fans
please react to “bts’s contribution to music” and “bts from nobodies to legends” from xceleste. also “the most beautiful life goes on: a story of bts” by Asian theory. for an introduction to the members individually please react to “an introduction to the 7 members of bts” by ida s.💜💜
if you want to get to know them in even more detail (as well as some stuff about how they fit into the kpop industry) there’s a docu style series called “the rise of bangtan” it’s very informative 💜
Great recommendations!
From nobodies to legends is a must after "7 members of bangtan"
BTS are musicians. So the main thing to recommend is his art like: Black Swan, ON, We Are Bulletproof pt2, Dope, IDOL, Fake Love, I Need U, The truth untold, Outro: Tear, UGH, Baepsae and Spine Breaker.
Also some of their solos like Still With You, Euphoria, promise, filter etc
@@urlocaltrashcanwithaytacco3210 yes solos are amazing too
Thank you for your BTS reactions. I'm not one to normally comment but I really appreciate your BTS reactions.
I found BTS and ARMY almost 3 years ago and looking back at myself, I was quite a defensive and emotionally reactive person as I had been struggling for so long. I was tired and cynical. In retrospect I just didn't see people, the world or life in general in positive light. I accidentally stumbled across the video for Fake Love and my senses were overloaded with something I hadn't experienced before. My curiosity had me drawn more and more into BTS or perhaps it was my desperation for change. Whatever it was, had me intrigued. The more I learned, the more appreciation I had and there are endless layers. I watched the interactions BTS and Army had between themselves and each other and I was mind blown by how authentic, kind and patient everyone is. I would see time and time again how they handle people, negativity and conflicts. I would watch and ask myself whether this is even real, like kindness and just being a genuinely good person who can succeed is a myth or something. I watched 7 guys with one goal who all contrasted each other learn to accept and appreciate one another despite their differences and come out on the other side as a supportive synchronised unit. I appreciate their authenticity and how brave and vulnerable they are with their struggles. They write and sing about what's real inside them and going through their discography makes them extremely relatable. Through their music they brought order to my chaos by giving it meaning. It's like they gave my emotions and internal self, language. I'm in my late 30's and I was genuinely overwhelmed by this reality. They constantly remind me what kindness, patience and courage look like. BTS is a paradigm shift of epic proportions. I am truly grateful for every single one of them, they've helped and saved so many of us. They really are changing the world one person at a time. BTS really is the hope in the world that we really needed to see. Thank you for being open and actually taking the time to understand BTS. As they mean a lot to each person on different levels, seeing someone else taking the time, putting in the effort, giving them the respect they deserve some how makes someone like me appreciate you more. I think it's because in a way you are are indirectly validating my emotions lol. Regardless of why, I thank you for doing these videos. 💜💜💜
Welcome our beautiful family 💕 from J-ARMY 🇯🇵 I'm 64 and I want be BTS grandma
I went to their consert and there were people of all ages. Amazing to see.😊
I still have my tickets from last year as it would've been my first BTS concert. Of course Miss Rona ruined everything. Where was the concert you went to. I'm waiting for the day when BTS can perform in person again.
I wish I could go to one. Is my dream by now lol
Thank you for learning about army
Thank you for being here for my journey 🙂
@@JimGames till the end
I'm enjoying watching your journey to know BTS and ARMY. It's going to be a very long but fun journey. Fighting!
BTS has always supported (physically and mentally) encouraged and appreciated whatever ARMY have been doing
*I am really liking the way you chose to go in this BTS journey in a different way. I would like to recommend you some songs that have, in my opinion, the deepest lyrics or meaning from BTS, for when you start to react to them:*
*- Fake Love*
*- Blue & gray*
*- Magic shop*
*- Anwers: love myself*
*- Spring Day*
*- We are Bulletproof: eternal*
*- Black swan*
*- The truth untold*
*- Louder than bombs*
*- Young forever*
*- Tomorrow*
*And also: Spine breaker, Baepsae, and Ddaeng, that talk about social problems and injustices.*
I’m a 71 year old fan of BTS. BTS and Army’s are the energy of our best future here- now.
We call people who are still learning baby army. You don't need to like the music and the band. You can just support 1 side of that and it counts.
I saw all this video with a lump in my throat, because right now I am an ARMY who has been with them for 6 years and I have seen all the hate and I have endured all the bad comments against BTS and ARMY, I have been a victim of bulliying just because I like BTS and in the past it was worse now not much because BTS is getting bigger and more respected but before it was something very serious and I never really gave up, I knew that someday BTS and ARMY would receive respect What they deserve. And I just want to say that I WAS IN THE TWO DAYS OF CONCERT IN WEMBLEY!!!!! the two happiest days of my life, thanks to BTS!
What I really love is that their music is just as amazing As we are😁😂so when you say "I just don't know if I'll like the music" I died laughing.😂 I Can't wait to watch you fall in love with them... again
A good an mostly up to date guide to the members is 'who is BTS? A guide to the 7 members' by Euphoriamoon
it's kinda outdated now 😬
@@janhvi1290 extremely outdated
Thank you for your reaction to BTS, having met these guys and being part of Army is something beautiful and it is something for which I am very grateful, not everything is rosy being such a large fandom there are thousands of personalities and unfortunately many are not They are very good, and although they are not the majority, the bad always comes to light and not all these good things that Army really does, I hope you can react to their songs again, I recommend ON KINETIC MANIFESTO FILM 💜 greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
BTS is a movement. BTS+ARMY=family. 💜
Your reactions are so genuine! I’ve just discovered your channel and watched all your BTS reactions!
It’s funny because I want you to listen to their songs (with lyrics) so bad but I also want you to learn more about them because they’re fantastic people and amazing artists! There is so much to learn!
Anyway, I enjoy your reactions! I hope you’ll keep reacting more to them ☺️☺️
BTS ×ARMY=FAMILY 💜
Cool reaction thank you BTS💜ARMY ARE AMAZING LOVE YOU ARMY'S
Love you as well angel 💜💜💜💜💜

Love yall
I'm 44 yo and i have never seen anything like army. You said it right, army isn't a fandom, it's a MOVEMENT.
I'm a 45yr old teacher with 7 kids and 1 grandkid. Used to hear them through my students a lot, but never paid attention. The prenotion that i had that time was, they are just a bunch of boys singing and dancing, nothing else.
But it changed last year during the pandemic with their dynamite. I was hooked and began to dig deeper on them. What i found was amazing. They are not just ordinary bunch of guys, instead they are hardworking and passionate young men. Their lyrics were inspiring and uplifting. Am not gonna say that i'm an army, but i do enjoy and appreciate their works so far.
I'm a member of the BTS Army. I'm Christian, American, Black (African heritage), and I'm 64 years old. I saw BTS on the Billboard Music Awards in 2018 singing DNA. I loved the dancing and enjoyed the singing. I then went to You Tube and one music video lead to another. I was hooked. I watched the history and realized Big Hit supported healing music. It was apparent these young men worked hard to entertain their fans. They fought the bullies with music that inspired self ❤. I was severely bullied 😔 as a child and it can have a lasting impact on your mental health. I loved these young men even more. They inspired positive change through action. They gave to charities, worked with Unicef, spoke to the UN twice. Love and music are universal. I'm very happy to support these good boys.
Hi Jim…I am 65 tear old woman and I absolutely adore BTS. I have been a fan for four years now. I love their good clean music, dancing, humor and sincerity.
I love your username 😂💜
I found BTS in a really dark part of my life and that first song changed my life so much I even got the name tattooed as permanent reminder of the message. Many ARMY will tell you that BTS finds you when you need it the most. I really like your journey so far. BTS and ARMY are one and forever. Even BTS said so in one of their recent videos on their BangtanTV channel. From songs they give us for free to special songs dedicated to ARMY, it's a remarkable thing. One of the songs that gives me all the feelings is We are bulletproof: the Eternal. The song is from Map of the Soul 7 and is a response to one of the songs on their debut album. The video they released for Festa 2020 (celebration for the anniversary of their debut) depicts their journey and t's one of my favorite songs. You might wanna check out a video of the breakdown of their discography. And the introduction to all the members to see how each and every one of them are an integral part and how much they contribute.
BTS appeals to all ages. I found them in 2016 and I’m now 69 years old. Theses young men are so talented, hard working, and they have stayed humble even with their amazing success. I’m proud to call myself an Army.
As an Army I will be on this journey with you, if you have any questions just ask Army will be glad to help. 💜💜 you will like the music I’m sure
I love watching your journey to get to know BTS and ARMY better. I'd like to suggest you watch their first speech at the UN. it's just over 6 minutes and it's truly beautiful and inspiring. I'll drop the link below.
BTS UN Speech 2018 czcams.com/video/oTe4f-bBEKg/video.html
@@Kincaid42 yes! Thank you
if it means anything i’m 26 almost 27 and they saved my life. i always cry when i see rms speech of “if your pain is 100 out of 100 if we can lessen that to 99, 98, 97, etc then that makes our existence worthwhile” because they did for me. intro: nevermind is the song that saved me back in 2015.
Now, when you say lore… has anyone explained the Bangtan Universe to you yet? In a nutshell the Bangtan Universe, or B.U. Sometimes called the BTU, is a fictional storyline that runs throughout some of their music videos. (Like maybe about half). It is also connected to storyline videos, comics, video games, etc. it’s a bit complicated but it involves time travel, alternate realities and each member having a tragic back story.
in the newest article-interview with j-hope he said "ARMYs absolutely... I feel like they've become an icon themselves. I'm so proud of them. They're amazing. ARMY is like an artist in itself now, too. Sort of like they're one big symbol of the era? ARMY is as famous as BTS now. I think we give each other good energy, and helped each other to make something good. It might sound obvious coming from a member of BTS, but if I were ARMY, I'd never be ashamed to call myself a fan of BTS. Anyway, I'm seriously I want them to always know I'm really, really grateful for them"
Ya i loved recent weverse magzine interview..when i first read this..it made me really happy..i love them to death 💜
ARMY is a non religious social movement crossing all cultural barriers, inspired by music and philosophy that is unique in this world.
I love army and bts ! They are both such beautiful people in this world. Im not army, but I love bts music and now learning about army too. I love them ! May the good Lord bless them !
Sorry I'm so late to your journey! I'm 36 year old ARMY and I learned about BTS through a channel called Qpark. I am so thankful to him and his girlfriend for doing funny covers of BTS songs. I have two children and my oldest became ARMY with me. I love that I can play their music and not feel ashamed of what is coming out of my children's mouths when they sing along. I love that my daughter looks up the meaning behind the lyrics and music videos (there are so many important topics they discuss). I love that she has friends around the world that she can confide in and give her confidence. So when her school friends judge her and she feels the pressure to be like them she doesn't feel the need to. When I'm stressed I can listen to their music and just go into another world and let go of my worries for a bit and when I come up for air I can reevaluate with a clear mind. I love that my youngest can watch BT21 and see the sweet stories of how to be kind. BTS has music and other content for all ages and people with different backgrounds. It makes us all feel connected. I'm thankful that my kids and I have something that is positive and uplifting in our lives.
Thank you for your reaction!💜
Your never late. I am sure Jim has A LOT for us in the future, so welcome to the journey
next would be " who is bts" by Ida S
Hi, I’m a 48yo with a doctorate in Nursing. I discovered BTS thru my 17yo K-pop fan daughter. I have since become a huge fan. Not only of the group but of each individual artist as well. I love rap and I gravitate toward Min Yoongi’s projects as Agust-D. He is a stunning lyricist (on par with Eminem) and his music production and collaborations span so many styles it’s amazing. The thing I appreciate most about BTS’s music is how deeply involved in the writing and producing each of the members are. They are 7 admirable men who deserve praise and respect for not only their hard work and dedication to their craft, but also for their efforts to make a difference. I can truly say their message of ‘love myself’ was something I needed to hear, their genuine concern for people is palpable in interviews and candid moments. It’s a lot to let cameras into your life the way these guys have. They carry a great burden of responsibility and they do it well at such a young age. I’m so glad you took the time to get to know more about them, and I plan to follow you- I’m interested in what you will think about their music.
Don't worry. Most of BTS' music is completely in line with what they stand for. Songs like Dynamite, Butter and Permission To Dance are songs to create joy, happiness, lightness, a break from the tough reality everyone is going though this last 1,5 years. We sometimes joke saying their English songs (just mentioned) are like the trojan horse. It's songs that the Western music industry is more acceptent to and wants to play on the radio, then people get hooked and BAM they discover their discography and other lines of work with depth for days. You'll see! The deeper you go the more you'll discover and be able to connect - I've been at it for almost a year, and they still surprise a lot with how deep and interconnected it all is. It's art in music like I've NEVER experienced before.
I’m a 54 yo male ARMY …. BTS found me when I needed them most back in 2013 . I grew up on AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Rolling Stones , etc and I just found a home with BTS and ARMY . I’ll be a a loyal ARMY even after they bury me in the ground …. 💜💜💜
Honestly, for me a couple of songs came on my radar and brought BTS to my attention but it was the culture that pulled me in. Don’t feel too bad about your initial beliefs about the fandom - it’s natural and I honestly held the same beliefs myself before getting involved. You were respectful and open to learning more, which is what counts. Borahae💜
you are right. as army myself, i feel the symbiotic relationship BTS & ARMY have. BTS have created a whole new meaning to a fandom-artists relationship, to the point we value ourselves as humans and we want to do our best to improve ourselves and do better for the world, doesn't matter how small. We feel so connected to bts and what they stands for. Though most of us never met them, they share lots of their personalities to fans and allow us to get to know them, of course it all thanks to the technology we have these days that breaks barriers of human connection/communications. Since before their debut days, they never stop showing appreciation and love and support to ARMY, that's why we love each other so much. BTS are always humbled upon the love they received and try to work harder to repay all the love. As much as ARMYs support/love them, they give us the same energy. To the point I sometimes feel like "i dont know celebrities/artists can do these much to appreciate their fandom" cause their company and BTS go miles in finding ways to appreciate us and makes us feel included. These things makes it feel like being in that community worth it, you just feel loved and appreciated. and that helps us carry ourselves as humans.
Yes💜
🌟
when you eventually do decide to start getting into bts' discography, i hope you tell us in advance what your favourite musical genres are so we can give you the best recommendations!! the reason people get bad ideas and misconceptions of what bts music is, is because they see the popular music they don't like and immediately judge them so... i do hope you tell us in advance so we can recommend you what's most suitable for you!! thank you for your great, respectful reactions and giving bts a real chance despite the prejudice. thank you thank you thank you.
also, i really like calling bts and their story a gigantic grassroots movement - talent and a force for good being pushed into the limelight by a group of fans - not the industry or a record label shoving them down people's throats.
im soo glad i grew up with bts, i got into their music when i was 14. I'll be 20 soon and bts, even army, were the positive influence in my life🥺...... even here in a tiny island country in the south pacific bts' inspire us to help others all the time. armys in my country have donated to rural schools, cancer society and even organizations that care for disabled children. we'll keep moving forward together 💜
I am a sixty-year old pandemic ARMY. The first two BTS songs I heard was Boy With Luv and Dynamite. I fell in love with them instantly! Like what you are doing now, I watched all their documentaries to get to know them better. Then, their reality shows and concerts. Thus, my love for them is not superficial. I am one of those whom the group helped to realize that there is more to life.
Continue and enjoy your BTS journey. You will find out that they are a no-nonsense band! You will come to realize that BTS is not just a group of great singers and dancers with pretty faces. There is more to them than meets the eye! They are beautiful from the inside out! You will come to love them. 💜💜💜
I'm happy you're interested in getting to know them and their music :)
I think one of the next videos you'll be watching would be some introduction to the members and introduction to them by Ida S would be the best one right now ;)
HEY HEADS UP!! if you’re going to do a “7 members of bts” style video, PLEASE consider doing the updated 2021 version. the video from 2018 is WILDLY outdated, even though it’s the most viewed. i’d definitely recommend “An Introduction to the 7 Members of BTS” by Ida S. definitely the way to go. and if you wanna look into their contribution to their craft, xCeleste’s “BTS Contribution to Music” is a wonderful look into their creative process. loving your journey so far! can’t wait to get into the music!
You are so awesome!! I look forward to your BTS videos every week. I wish we could get them more often, haha! But I totally understand not being able to or wanting to cut other content to do more BTS stuff.
We'll make you ARMY soon enough. Welcome to the BTS rabbit hole! 💜
Lol, BTS will make him Army soon enough, Army is the backup, and will keep him on the right path.
@@jeaniejbutler4911 true!
Bts have many good songs - a lot with music videos like butter where it's more pop-py and bright which are great -- but these are SOME of the songs that cemented bts in armys hearts and made us support them all the way no matter what :
- Magic Shop (inspired by the book magic shop, a place waiting for you to comfort you during the times you dont love yourself)
- Black Swan (losing your passion)
- Outro: Tear (parting ways - could be with a friend, lover, anything you're attached to. i just feel like my heart breaks each time i listen to it. Written when they were about to disband)
- Epiphany (self realization to love yourself)
- Whalien 52 (inspired by the loneliest whale in the world, a metaphor to being surrounded by a lot of people but still feel like no one hears you and hopefully one day, you'll find someone who has the same wavelength as you / someone who will hear you)
- 134340 (inspired by pluto not being considered a planet anymore, a metaphor to once being an important person to someone and now, you're just.. someone orbiting/existing)
- Answer: Love myself (self explanatory :))
Some would not have music videos at all but would have lyric videos and or live performances. Lyrics are the key here.
Hope you can give them a listen :)
each BTS member has their own interest for example one member LOVES nature, sea creatures and animals
and as a bday gift
we planted thousands of trees around the world and spent thousands on animal shelters, we cleaned the beach by picking up trash as well
we did alot
and it still feels like we're not doing enough
Yeah, so true
The Rise Of Bangtan is sooooo gooood, plis it is help u alot 😊
You have to see "Who is BTS the 7 members of bangtan".
Vamos com vc, anciosos para cada descoperta, performance, risadas, choros e muito mais que os nossos meninos vao proporcionar. 💜🇧🇷
"They just want to help out" is exactly why I got into BTS honestly. My sister was like idk 14/15 and into this boy band and I kinda dug their music cause I liked hip-hop (this was around 2017 so more hip-hop heavy music as I explored them) but the more I met people online I would tell my friends "Hey remember how we used to be into boy bands as teenagers? This is SO DIFFERENT!" because the group and the fans were just so welcoming. My mother thinks I'm crazy for being 30+ and into boy bands but I really don't agree. Right now a positive community (for the most part at least; admittedly some people are not very positive) is what we all need to stay sane.
How you are getting into bts is literally how I got into bts about 2 years ago. I watched interviews and run bts episodes and other people's videos on bts like you're doing before really listening to their music, and then finally I was like well if I love these guys to much of have to get into their music. So then I listened to songs like boy with luv and mic drop, but spring day is what got me to then look into every bit of music bts has been apart of since the beginning of their careers, as a group and individually, and my life has changed so much since. I feel so much more positive and happy and I've grown so much as a person through my journey as an ARMY and my only regret is that I didn't get into them sooner.
I am a new subscriber and I literally binged watch all your BTS reactions. Now I am a fan of yours as well. Welcome to BTS World and I hope to hear and watch more BTS reactions from you soon. 😊💜
