- Yesterday DJ & MCA heard their very first ever BTS song and were surprised to find out that they were (in part) a rap/hip-hop group. That completely surprised us and we were so confused! ARMY came in with tons of info and recommendations for songs for us to listen to. Ugh! Explained was also recommended to us. We decided before we hear anymore BTS songs we should get a better understanding of the deep meaning on Ugh!

As a bts fanboy i don't even know why they get so much hate
They are extremely talented and should be recognized as such even if someone doesn’t like that kind of music.
"behind every successful person/people is a pack of hater" BTS is very successful that's why alot of people get jealous of them. Because they know that they and the groups they support can't achieve the kind of success BTS have.
If you're successful in life, you're bound to have haters who were jealous of you to the extent that it becomes hate. Most haters are insecure about themselves so they try to put you down by defaming or degrading you. The hate could also be a mixture of stereotypes, prejudice, xenophobia or racism that could also stem from being insecure. BTS even told their haters to love themselves in Cypher Pt. 4.
People gonna hate because they can. The song is about disgust for hate with no reason..🤷🏻♂️
@ Krusty Krab yeah I agree that it’s a combination of everything you said, especially the racism. I think along with people being jealous there are also people uncomfortable and upset that an Asian group is dominating the pop music industry right now. Some guy from an American boy band actually had the audacity to say he thinks “there should always be a European or American group at the top.” So there’s a lot of nasty supremacist like thinking as well
You'd be surprised how much bs they've had to take and are still taking. But this is a great example of the depth of their songs. They don't all require explanation videos though. I have never come across a group with songs based on astronomy, whales, historical quotes, etc. and then using them to describe an entirely different subject. They constantly blow my mind. I highly recommend *Black Swan* which describes their fear of losing their passion for music and is based on a quote by famous dancer and choreographer Martha Graham (1894-1991): "A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing and this first death is the more painful".
researching BTS songs just adds to the allure for me. Studying their wordplays and cultural references that gets lost in translation is fun. Fans even read books like DEMIAN which has Nietzsche influence to better understand the WINGS album. MOTS is influenced by pysychologist Carl Jung.
I think you're mixing up Demian by Herman Hesse which had phylosophical concepts used for Wings
with
Map of the Soul by Carl Jung which had psychological concepts used for Map of the Soul.
As far as I know, they are different, but I may be wrong..
@@grafinlady6524 thank you for correcting me :) yes I did mix it up haha. MOTS for Carl Jung. And WINGS for Demian which has Karl Marx and Nietzsche influence.
@@jenjin9492 thank god:)) I almost had a mini heart attack just then thinking it might have been my miss hehe
@@grafinlady6524 oh no, hehehe all good Army 💜💜 Hey our boys just won Artist of the Year at the AMAs!! ☺️☺️
@@jenjin9492 i mean, im not really surprised anymore.. or worried about them, for that matter of fact... They reached the point where I can safely turn my attention to my maknae boygroup now and give it my full support:) well, this is just my case, and our boys will always be my first love, but because they've reached so far, I can turn my attention away now without feeling like i betray them by finally meeting my one true love:)))
Sorry for going on like this, I just recently found out the thrill of chatting online ^^
Btw, do you listen to any other kpop group? Not that you should, I just got curious after seeing your music playlists..:)
The hate was due to the fact that BTS were considered "upstarts" -- they challenged the establishment (i.e. broadcast firms, the "Big Three" entertainment studios) that were keeping the machinery running in Korea's k-pop industry -- by going to the more democratic platform: CZcams in ~2013. BTS hustled smartly: by going online as a response to the lack of opportunities to perform on mainstream broadcast TV shows and live events. The "hate" is from the fandoms of other k-pop groups (that were created by any of the "Big Three" studios). A basic understanding of the K-pop fandom culture might help you as you journey through the BTS discography (FYI, BTS albums are arranged by year on Spotify).
That’s smart. I like that they were able to find success outside the record labels!
@@GetSidewaysReacts they do have a record label but back then it wasn't a big label so it was quite hard bc the Korean entertainment industry and media is monopolised by these 3 big companies (YG,SM & JYP) , it's hard to get onto shows to promote themselves also due to the lack of funds since the company was near bankruptcy at the time, and when they started to get popular people weren't having it, even until now like when they were the first asian artists to get nominated for Grammys , when they didn't win the media was so hostile towards them. "BTS failed to get the award" etc etc bc they didn't like that BTS didn't need the Korean media and the media cant profit from their global success
Well said.. im surprised that the backlash came from Korean entertainment industry itself (media, record labels, fandom from the big 3 companies, underground rappers, etc)..I have watched videos from some Korean artist/entertainers saying they should appreciate what BTS have contributed to their country instead of always saying trash about them..
Bighit - BTS’s record label (past and current) started off really small. Even some of their earlier videos they used their managers as extras and their manager’s cars because they didn’t have the budget. But now big hit has surpassed the “big 3 “ labels to be the billion dollar label they are today.
The fan wars in the K-pop industry is crazy. Certain fandoms will go all out to trash other artists who they think threaten the popularity of their idol group. They will even resort to physical violence against other fandom members.
⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ Not sure if anyone explained this yet but the references BTS made when they said “someone’s anger can cost someone their life” was likely in relation to the successful suicide attempts by a few Kpop idols a few years ago.
Most notable and congruent to the themes of this song was the passing of former idol Sulli. It was WELL known in the community that Korean haters often attacked Sulli once she left her group for any and everything. It was unhinged and malicious hate that honestly went on for years without end. In the wake of her passing and all the evidence of her trying to combat those hate comments, a Korean law was drafted called the Sulli Act that would help everyone from celebrities to regular ppl to combat these ppl in the court of law.
It’s actually very common for ppl (esp celebrities) to sue hate commenters. And with Korea’s unfortunate history of being a country with the highest physical and cyber bullying rates (esp amongst teens), it only made sense that their response to Sulli’s death would be to pass more laws to protect ppl from such an unfortunate fate.
Wow. I had no idea this was going on
Yes it is.. that’s why BTS songs and albums tackle mental health and self-love because Korea has a high-rate of suicide and one main cause is bullying/cyberbullying..
BTS always got hate. Both in western and korean scene. In the west, its a mix of racism, stereotype and just cultural ignorance. BTS is termed as boyband and their fandom as crazy sex-crazed girls. 90% people don't even know what music they do and declare that they suck. Because bts wear stage makeup and maintain a gentle persona, you see a lot of homophobic slurs too.
In korea they were hated because their company was too small and were mistreated a lot by media. Of course, now they are way bigger than the entire industry, so now they try to take credit for BTS's success.
I recommend watching 'ON kinetic manifesto film' with captions on. It's a song that will give you a general idea about what they do musically.
hate towards bts is always rooted in underlying or sometimes obvious racism, xenophobia or homophobia (though bts members' sexualities are not known or anyone's business, they promote the notion of being yourself and loving yourself which some conservatives connect to homosexuality i guess.. considering bts wear stage makeup and whatever they like clothes wise, and have actively spoken up against toxic masculinity, which all in itself has nothing to do with homosexuality but is how conservatives automatically perceive it.. very odd). their discography being 95% in korean seems to scare some people who "don't understand what they're saying" even though translations exist, google is free and regardless, music is a universal language and you can understand the feeling of a song without the words, if you're willing to give it a chance.
that deep rooted hatred for those values then seeps into "oh, i just hate them". also, they are a group of seven guys in a music group, so that automatically puts the "boyband" image on them, which has immediate negative connotations in a lot of people's minds (even though bts is far from any actual boybands and i wouldn't describe them as one either). the way the west promotes bts doesn't help dismiss that narrative, so a lot of people have preconceived notions of them based on one or two songs, or sometimes based on no music at all.
and also, we as their fans are very prone to speaking out on any type of unfairness, negative treatment or non-sensical hate on bts or ourselves as their fans and don't just stay quiet on it, so people hate bts even more for it, somehow. because we don't let unprovoked insults and racist comments go. it's all very weird.
what boyband would put out a song like ugh? right??
haha not all the time. You're one of those people who make it a bigger deal than it truly is.
@@forg_tful. right! It's hard to even call them a "band" because they do music more than just music. Their a group which an amazing story.
@kat While I agree that racism and xenophobia are some of the reasons they get so much hate abroad, they were being disrespected in their own country long before they started receiving any kind of significant attention in the west. Entitlement and jealousy seemed to be (and still is) the root of all the hate they got in Korea since the moment the debuted. Large companies who represented popular idol groups looked down on these kids from a small company, who were doing hip-hop and thinking they could complete at all, with the fans (and sometimes the companies themselves) sabotaging them and dragging their names through the mud trying to retain the status quo.
@@onthemetro410 i know that, i'm just going over the most general worldwide reasons for the hatred right now. the jealousy from that industry in their home country would make it a very long story.
the rappers who participated in the song are rm, suga (it's short for shooting guard, his favourite position in basketball) and j-hope. the 3 of them make up the rapline of bts. the other 4 members missing from this particular song are all vocalists: jungkook, jimin, v and jin.
Oh wow. I had no idea that Suga came from that. Interesting!
@@GetSidewaysReacts yeah, he loved playing basketball in his school days. sadly, before debuting, he gor hit by a car while doing a delivery service job, with his shoulder getting permanently injured. he only recently had an operation on that shoulder. just another fun fact, but my point is, he loved and still loves basketball. really cool.
@@GetSidewaysReacts there are introduction videos that introduces all the members and more in depth things
@@forg_tful. So the accident had nothing to do with him stopping playing basketball. He has talked about how he stopped playing basketball in high school because of his height, and how sad he was that he didn't get taller cause he wanted to play professional basketball. The accident came later, and he has talked about how he stopped working out and b-boying because of it, basketball he had already stopped playing seriously.
I think the hate comes from a lot of factors, but mainly:
- jealousy (for BTS succeeding past other acts that had more resources and media power)
- racism (they’re one of the only Asian acts in mainstream music)
- homophobia (people don’t like how flamboyant they are and the fact that they wear make up)
- xenophobia (people don’t like the fact that a non-English act that makes songs mainly in Korean is gaining popularity in the US and beating out their industry pushed pop artists)
- fandom? (Some people think their fandom is toxic so they hate on the band for that. Logic isn’t logicing lol)
I 100% agree they know nothing about it and then hate on them. I also think they’re comparing it to how they treated kinda One Direction. They think it’s a fandom made up of teenage girls when it is SOOO not only that. Anything that women like is sh*t on immediately. The racism and unwillingness to even get to know them makes me so mad.
you’ve got it down perfect!
although, i don’t think people hate the fandom for toxicity exactly, they hate it because of the primarily teenage female population. it’s misogyny.
Even the K-pop soloist IU, who is considered 'Korean's little sister' put out an anti-hater song telling fans to not cross the line. That was followed by the song '8' (featuring Suga, coincidentally) where she talks directly to her past friends and colleagues who had been driven to suicide by online hate.
Thank you for being open-minded towards BTS and their music. I hope to see you react to their song called *Dope* . It's a good intro song to BTS. It caters everything. Their singing, rapping and dancing skills. It's a good song to vibe too. Well, at least for me.
You should check out Ddaeng... the other song he mentioned in the beginning. They do an explanation of that one as well. :)
They have a lot of haters especially at the start of their career. You can watch bts hardship 2013-2021 by x celeste to know what they've been through. It's really good video. And she has other documentary videos about bts if you interested about who they truly are.
Yeah that documentary is so good.
Yeahh agreee those video documentary by xceleste was great and clear!
One of the big reasons that BTS started to get big in the first place was the fact that their music connected deeply with disenfranchised youth. Instead of manufactured, cookie cutter pop music - their music actually had something to say. It was unheard of in the kpop industry (and, to a degree, still is) to tackle some of the topics that BTS sang about. Things like income inequality, the wealth gap, and complete lack of social or financial mobility in South Korea. Watch DKDKTV's Bapsae Explained by a Korean to get an idea.
In their early years especially Bts rappers got hate for going from underground hiphop scene to this idol pop group. These days a lot of hate seems to come from people who dont like that this pop boyband gets so much fans and they say that it isnt music, it isnt in english, it is just some boyband without content and are angry that this kind of music gets appreciation. You can see that in few of the comments in your last video also. As most of my friends listen to heavy metal and rock, I have had to justify being a Bts fan. People want to think that pop music cant have meaning and if its a boyband, that certainly cant have anything deep to offer. They like to think that Bts being big is just cause crazy teenage fangirls. But many Bts armys, like me, are over 30years old and there is lots of male also. Also the toxic masculinity issue makes many hate Bts, cause they look good, wear makeup, often wear female clothesline clothes to show that genders really dont matter so much, if you like the clothes, wear what you like. At the same time these haters might listen to heavy metal music, where eyeliner, dark eyeshadow and makeup is also used, but they think Bts wearing make up is different, its concidered feminine and looks pretty and I guess its scary if you are this toxic masculine gatekeeper. Thank you for being openminded and checking more Bts 💜
Tina your everywhere haha. Thank you for your comment
@@bethzymaciasramirez5325 Well, I have no life, ahhaaahaaa 🤣💜
This song is one of many BTS' songs that has totally transformed the way I think. At this point I can't even count how many times I've been confronted with anger, either my own or that of others, and found myself hesitating before acting & thinking about the lyrics of this song, ending up reevaluating the situation in ways that I wouldn't have otherwise. There's something about having such a striking philosophical point put into a song like this that make it stick to my brain.
I really like that you took your time to watch the explanation. I'd love to see you reacting to more BTS. Liked and subscribed.
Guys they have suffered unjust behaviour since the begining and have strived hard to survive!!!
Watch the hardships video 2013- 2021 BY XCELESTE
THIS IS BTS BY XCELESTE
I'm amazed how every single person, that does BTS reations for the first time, stick to them to find out why people like them so much and then end up becoming Army aswell 🤭
when david talks about "tragic incindents in the kpop world in the last year" he was talking about the passing of Sulli and Go Hara, who commited suicide
That’s awful
The first time I heard this song, It got my attention the power that transmitted, then when I looked for the translation and found that it spoke of rage, I understood why, however, until now I didn't know the true rage of which it spoke, it is not just haters's rage but the feeling itself and the ways of expressing and using it. That blew my mind, my gosh, this song is literally art
Wow, it's really great to see you reacting to Ugh explained. Thank you for giving BTS a chance. I hope you'll like their songs and them too because they are great, humble, funny, talented persons.
Pls can u guys check Bts room live with English subtitles on CC
We did last night. It was great. We will release that video soon. After Dynamite and Butter.
@@GetSidewaysReacts really can't wait why I still have to wait 😒 long 😩
I absolutely love watching your reaction, thank you for taking the time to watch the explanation video. They have a lot more songs like Ddaeng, Tear, Whalien 52 and Black Swan that are deep and very interesting to react too. Can't wait for you to discover more about the guys!
Enjoyed this reaction. Also to get to know BTS better please watch THE RISE OF BANGTAN. A series of ep 1 to 19. You will come to know alot about k-pop and its history in general, and the start of BTS
Yes this series is fantastic
Will watch for sure!
@@GetSidewaysReacts yes. I feel like it's better tho to know about the members separately and a little bit about there background story, and be able to tell the members apart of cause before going on with the documenty.
Much agreed! Love the rise of BANGTAN
This is why they're actually big. People can relate to their lyrics, just like both of you did. But other artists also can create this sense of relatability in their works but not everyone have this quality of genius lyrics writings like they have. I'm a fan for a long time but I still very much in awe whenever I dig deep into their song lyrics. It became so exciting that I don't think I will ever fell out of love for this group. Not only their works are masterpieces, they themselves are genuinely good people. This came from their old friends and the people in the industry that met them in real life.
you should watch the introduction to the 7 members of bts 2021 by ida s
And this, gentlemen, is why BTS is so loved. They write lyrics that mean something. The fans of BTS (Army) is not just a bunch of teenagers. As a matter of fact teens are probably the least representative age group in the fandom. Most of us are adults who have been yearning for music that not only bops, but has true meaning as well. I’m a 50 yo American school teacher. I’ve been an Army since 2018. BTS will change your life if you let them.
I am so glad you watched the explanation most reactors ignore it when you suggest it. There are alot of explanation videos to there songs which make the song even better when you understand it.
I randomly came across your page, your Ugh reaction intrigued me and then I watched this reaction and I loved it... If you will keep doing BTS reactions then I am very interested in your journey and wish you the best 💜
We are. Butter reaction releases in 6.5 hours at 8:00am Eastern time
Y'all need to react to ddaeng and then his explanation
Thankyou so much for taking the time to learn about the meaning behind this song, there are informational videos that I'm sure others have already recommended in regards to BTS and their hardships. XCELESTE has multiple ones that are great. Really excited to see you explore BTS music more :)
You should react to the BTS FESTA ROOM LIVE 2021 or TINY DESK to hear more of their music. And videos from XCELESTE to get to know the guys, FROM NOBODY to LEGENDS or THIS IS BTS are good introductions videos.
I would recommend some songs if you are interested in finding out more about the boys and their music. For example: ON, Black Swan, Life goes on, Spring Day, Dope, Fire, Save me. They also made songs in English such as Dynamite, Butter and Permission to dance. When and if you watch the MVs of their songs I would advise you to activate the subtitles, so as to understand the meaning of the songs. Love your reaction!!!💜
We just heard the English songs you listed last night. We will be releasing them over the next few days
BTS being a worldwide icon is surely to have a lot of hater with each having different..stupid reasons. Mostly from racism, jealousy/fanwars and some just to jump on the hate train.
Black Swan and Mic Drop please !!! These two song are an examples of their various genre
As others have already mentioned, BTS is from a small company that almost went bankrupt, so they have been very looked down and hated by Korean broadcasting stations and other K-pop fandom. So they have struggled from the beginning to prove themselves.
I recommend We On. This song is a track in their debut album, and you can see how much emotion they put in it.
For reference, most of the BTS members were teenagers at that time. It would have been hard to bear at such a young age. But like We On's lyrics, they did it.
If you're interested in BTS' other MVs, I recommend....
Mic Drop (It's one of their billion-view music video.)
Blood sweat & tears
FIRE
On kinetic manifesto film
Save me→I'm fine
Daechwita(Agust D 대취타, Suga's solo)
All of their music videos provide English subtitles. :)
Their lyrics are very deep and beautiful.
Or, I think it would be good to follow a story line.
DNA: Joy of fateful love → Fake Love: Realizing that love was a lie → IDOL, The Truth Untold, Epiphany, Answer Love Myself: To love other people completely, you should love yourself first.
These are included in Love Yourself Trilogy.
They make a wide variety of genres of music like Hip-hop, Ballad, R&B, pop, EDM, etc. I'm sure there're quite a few of their 300 songs that suit your taste. :)
I think UGH! was such a great introduction to BTS, since you did UGH! + UGH! explained. So many people have started now with Dynamite, Butter or Permission to Dance which is 3 newer and all english songs but also the furthest from showing BTS lyricism and core and it have taken reactors longer to get the understanding of BTS that you now have.
Black Swan is a great song with all members (click the CC button when you watch the music video and you will get eng subtitles), the song ON and the Kinetic manifesto version of the music video is great too, really cool video filmed in LA. I also like the song Baepsae, it has no music video but there is an explained video to Baepsae too by DKDKTV. Live performances of Your Eyes Tell is beautiful and really show off their vocals and you get to see the diversity of the rappers too when they rap to a slower song.
But BTS have around 300 songs and none of them are bad.
And when you react to BTS music videos don't cut out parts and let them play out fully even after the music stops cause it's often stuff at the very last sec. They do not block music video reactions so we are used to see full video reactions and do not like if parts are cut out. Hope this helps :)
if you do check out more BTS songs check out explanation videos by the channels: Bookish theories or DKDKTV again, they explain pretty well the deeper meanings and references that are in their songs, for instance check out these songs and their explanations:
-Pied piper
-Spinebreaker
-Ddaeng
-Baepsae
-Daechwita
-Idol
-Anpanman
One of the things I love about BTS is that their lyrics are so relatable, they talk about thoughts and feelings that I’ve felt too
BTS Festa Room Live with English subtitles!
Thank you for making effort to understand the meaning behind this song!
Most of their songs carry a message: sometimes the goal of their music is to bring comfort and healing both to them and their fans (you definitely should check their album "BE" released in the middle of a pandemic), many times they comment on social problems or refer to very specific situations (for those I would recommend Baepsae and Spring Day), but what I love about their music is how they tell a story through their albums. If you look at their discography in chronological order you will see an amazing story of growing up and discovering yourself, finding your own value in the world. I hope you will get interested enough to dig into it in more details :)
Have fun! Remember to check some of their dance practices and some live performances as well :)
BTS lyrics and MV are filled with hidden meanings, play on words, references to history, mythology, novels, classical music, bible, movies, psychology, and more. The main rappers & writers are RM (leader, IQ 145 he is a genius), Suga (producer, writer - known to compose over 280 songs a year), J-Hope (influenced to create from RM & Suga, also the main dance leader). However… ALL members contribute to writing and producing. ALL BTS, except for Jung Kook have continued there college educations online influenced by Jin, the oldest who graduated. In S Korea education is highly praised. Yes… they are doing this while doing their BTS work which includes: Writing and producing songs, creating dances with choreographers, practicing for award shows, doing, doing reality TV- SOOP episodes, creating a animated character line or products BT21, and more! It’s in insane how creative a group of men are. Whatever one member lacks, the others step in the help teach. They are true brothers. Not faking it!!
BTS started from a small company with no influence or power in the music industry. S Korean music industry adopted many of western standards such as 360 contracts (slave contracts), training programs (much like you see in ballet company to recruit and teach performers), image control (MGM film actors controlling the entire image ) Like the West, the top music companies reign supreme. The top 3 labels are known to force any trainers from small companies from appearing on TV show or performances making impossible any artist besides their own to succeed. When BTS started they were discriminated on by the music industry being from a low, independent label. S. Korea has a history of hierarchy- levels. The music industry forced BTS off shows, created fans wars, discount any achievements to through their connections. BTS were bullied. Bighit entertainment was already 56 million dollars in debt, but decided to pour everything they had into the boys. RM… young but extremely intelligent understood the this and help lead the members to work hard. Since BTSs debut in 2013, have have been fighting the S Korea music industry to be recognized. It the help of the Army, fans around the world who helped them shatter countless records. BTS was first popular outside S. Korea before making it it S Korea. This is why the Army is the 8th member of BTS and depicted by the Army bomb in BT21. This why the fan bases is so loyal. We been their through thick and thin. We seen their heard, humbleness, hard work and everything they had to give up to be BTS! It”s only in the last 3 years that the BTS members really made money for themselves.
The Western media tries to portray BTS was manufactured or just pop, or image of feminine … similar bullshit is happening to them again when trying to break through in the western charts. All is untrue. When you learn more about BTS.. you will learn that media often portrays BTS negatively usually for their own personal clout or gain or motives. This is why they ARMY is so protective. We know the good ideology BTS is spreading. Plus, a minority artist singing in another language other than English, being the best in the world, helps all minorities trying to break into the music industry. Great Music has no race, color, gender or language!! I hope this helps!!
I would watch… Spring Day first and than Spring Day explained by Italian Army!! This is about the Sewol disaster in S Korea Over 9000 artist for blacklisted for going creating art opposing the corruption in government. BTS and Bighit created the song and MV even though they knew it could kill their careers. Another reason why they have enemies in S Korea. Spring Day continues to be on music charts even though release years ago. The theme of corruption, struggles of the youth, money verse power… is also in Squid Games. Many artists were influenced by this time and this song!
Have fun going through the rabbit hole!!
As an army of 6 years, i would probably say BTS is the top if not the most over-hated celebrities on twitter over the last decade
BTS' songs are so much deeper and sophisticated than your average pop or rap group. They have things to say and they say them really cleverly and artfully. DKDKTV's Explained by a Korean videos are great resources for understanding the depths of BTS songs that non-Korean speakers miss. As for the hate they received, OMG, there are many videos about that and you should definitely react to them because their rags-to-riches struggle to overcome all obstacles is SO MUCH apart of who they are as a group. You can't fully understand BTS until you learn of their hardships in their early days.
Can u check black swan or MIC Drop next??
We will soon. We reacted to six songs last night so those will release first. But we will check out your suggestions next.
I was one of those people that didn't give bts the time of day, I didn't hate them , I just never listened to them. Then one day a few months ago I watched them do ill be missing you by p diddy , faith Evans and sting and I was amazed and very surprised . So I set out to learn all about them and I was even more amazed. Im glad you are learning about them but to really get to know them and how they transformed to the biggest band in the world watch some mini documentaries and get to learn where they came from and all their personalities, their hardships . Anyway happy listening to the phenomenon that is BTS there is so much more to them then just their videos. Have fun guys and welcome to the BTS world.
can i just say i really appreciate that you guys chose to dive deeper into this. it's so easy for people to take things at face value ESPECIALLY a group like BTS who is widely regarded as pop music and plastered on every street corner at this point(for good reason, as im sure you've come to learn). but i was really hoping you guys would find that video!
Thank you for putting in the effort to get to know their songs better
Oh thank you guys for this reaction and thank you for reacting to BTS 💜🙆♀️
Thank you for doing this reaction! I’m glad you guys took the suggestions from the previous video! Looking forward to more reactions!!!
I am glad you guys did the explained version. Can't wait for other BTS reactions.
Enjoyed your reaction. Thank you for this ☺️👍
I love how chill you both are. :)
Thank you guys sm for taking the time research
I just want to thank you for taking the time to watch this video and are open to learning more about BTS. I gladly subscribed.
Thank you for your reaction on BTS... I love watching you guys, how open minded and took time to find the explanation of the song...take care 💜💜💜
Thank you so much guys...u guys are gonna have a blast reacting to bts,they are WHOLESOME(funny,beautiful,real,humble, relatable)
I really liked how respectful you guys were and how you went out of your way to learn more about the meaning :) you guys seem really great I'd love to see more :):):)
Thank you for reacting to this explained video and giving BTS a chance! I know you guys generally do rock, but it really means a lot that you gave them a chance💜💜
I appreciate the fact that you reacted to the explanation video, there's always many different references in their music that may be hard to get so thank you 💜 I guess their music has always a message that not many artists think of hence why I respect them and you guys are starting to earn my respect as well. Hope you Stay healthy👏💜
Thank you for reacting to this! I really admire their ability to write lyrics like this, they have plenty of good lyrics
thank you for giving them a chance..so looking forward to more BTS reactions..you will not be disappointed..
Can you watch bts hardships 2013-2021 by xceleste
Glad you guys looked into this! Certainly an amazing song, I was pleasantly surprised to get to know the song because I can just tell it came from the rappers. They really mean what they say and they want people to know. Really awesome reaction, I'm excited to see more from you guys and your reactions to the group. As I heard you guys like rock, a few songs by BTS that have that sound are 'Dionysus' and 'Fake Love' (Rock Mix).
Great reaction! Thank you for digging deeper. As you can see, BTS is very complex and way more than just a bunch of guys singing “fluff”. I love the depth of their lyrics and the fact that they care about more than just themselves and how rich and famous they can become. Looking forward to more reactions.
Its so good to watch the both of you understanding it❤❤❤
thanks for the reaction! i hope you guys will dive more into bts’s discography :) they’re genuinely not a typical boy band as the media likes to portray them and their music is so good & holds so much power!!
Subscribed mainly because u didn’t dismiss them just because u didn’t understand.. u went the extra mile to find out more..💜💜💜 love it
Lyricism of BTS is always mindblowing 🔥🤯 I am a BTS ARMY for years, and I havent finished reading all the theories/explanation of their songs (they do have 200++ songs). But its a big difference after reading the english translation & explanation about it. Hearing that song again after that is a whole new experience.
Their lyrics imagery is also great - one of my favorite is Whalien 52 or The Truth Untold.
So glad to see you enjoying your journey and taking the opportunity to learn more about not only BTS's music, but also their story (which is very inspiring). I'm now subscribed and can't wait to see more. 💜
BTS are so smart.. thanks for checking this out 💜
New sub here, great video! Loved how you watched the explanation video because some reactors don’t. Some BTS songs are written so deep and have lots of Korean cultural references that it’s good to watch explanation videos. Can’t wait too see your journey in discovering how wonderful, talented and humble these 7 guys are! 💜
Great reaction to an explanation video and thanks for sharing your insights with respect to the toxic practices done on some social media platforms.
*Thanks for reactingg..keep going* 💜
you have stepped on a meaningfull song from BTS. go on! c:
Your video of PTD Live cinema event came on my feed and I’ve been all over your channel to see if y’all were just another reaction channel riding on BTS’s popularity or were y’all different. Making my way to your first listens and seeing how y’all slowly discover BTS music and them as people, I am so glad to say I really respect how y’all approach new music without stereotyping. Ironically speaking on topics like in, “Ugh!” the hate and malice was not easy for them to succeed and just music people can enjoy. Thank you so much for showing your journey to appreciate good music! Army can get really defensive knowing that BTS didn’t deserve the hate and being used.
I’m subscribed and enjoy how much y’all love music and have fun with it! Looking forward to more !
Im glad that ugh is your first rapline song reaction 😏 hehe , continue reacting
thanks for the reaction guys! it was nice
Thank you for do this reaction and say your opinions too!!
BTS'S lyrics can be deep for sure. That is why I love them and their personalities.
Thank you for reacting!
You are the first reaction channel i watched that really LISTENED to their music. It's gonna be a ride and i can already feel you have entered the rabbit hole. As to why they get so much hate is a very long story but can be summed up simply. When something is shiny and good and true and is not restricted for consumption but shared generously and joyfully, insecure and self-serving people will find a way to discredit or tear it down.
Please react to an introduction video about the members :) Love the reacts x
I was scrolling thru the comments for a long time and I see how these Army’s are giving u lots of info and love (and very long paragraphs) BUT I’m seeing the little heart u put on most of these comments and how u replied to them, I’m just happy that ur so open and that ur taking ur time to read all these good comments :)
This song is a masterpiece, but then they all are lol. Seriously though it is one of my fav songs. Looking forward to more.
I loved both this video and the reaction to the song, thank you for posting them. I think the BTS FESTA ROOM LIVE 2021 that most Armys are recommending in the comments is definitely a good idea after UGH, it will introduce you smoothly to the rest of the members and the variety of genres they make.
Also, if you liked UGH, I think you could like the official MV for "Mic Drop" (it's a Steve Aoki Remix of one of their rap song but with all 7 members in it) and you will probably love the rap line solo projects too. All 3 of them are incredibly productive producers/lyricists/composers and they use their solo albums as an opportunity to showcase their individual styles - I would recommend checking out "Joke" by RM, "Daechwita" by Suga and "Chicken Noodle Soup" by j-hope. The vocal line also has their own solos and they are absolute pieces of art as well. Another thing that is different from your average boyband is that all 7 members bring something essential to the table. There are ALL the Beyonce or the Justin Timberlake of the group.
Their company CEO Bang PD's approach to raising talent is very different than what is normally done anywhere else both in the West and the East. He encourages all members to create their own music and make it relevant to their own lives and stories, he considers music to be something similar to therapy both for the artist and the listener (in fact the old BigHit logo literally said "music for healing", ultimately what this means is that he wants the boys to be sincere about their art and talk about real issues (whether personal or societal issues) that affect them so that the audience will be able to resonate on both emotional and intellectual level and that's why Army is so invested. Plus, they are some real crackheads and funny AF, they really know how to enjoy life and it shows, there's countless of crack videos you can check out for that.
That's why I love bts, they think so deep and they care so much about the situation and they wanted to even ease a little every negativity and spreading positive songs, uplifting the fans/armys to ease whatever they are feeling.. i love them so much for teaching me to love myself, 💜
BTS's lyrics are like an iceberg, deep and with hidden meaning.😍
Thank you 💜
I don't know how you ended up with Ugh as your first BTS song but I love it and I love the fact that you watched the DKDKTV explanation right away. I'll keep watching!
Kudos for diving right into this guys, you struck our ARMY heartstrings. Yes, BTS has always received hate from conception. Hate from underground rap for becoming idols for “selling out,” hate from the idol community, fans and bigger companies (the marlins JYP, YM, SM) for first trying and then succeeding at a game they weren’t really “permitted” or expected to play, very unconventional idols. There’s lots of gate keeping in korea around the idol scene, you wouldn’t imagine, different culture with deeply respected hierarchies. BTS still deals with lack of recognition in Korea, believe it or not they were bigger internationally before they really blew up around 2016-2017.
I’d absolutely check out Ddaeng next if you like this, and the explanation is awesome. The song and beats are top tier anyways. Daechwita by Agust D too (suga of BTS), lots of symbolism in that MV. Happy reacting guys!
I saw your other video wherein you were very surprised that Ugh turned out to be a rap song. I thought at the time maybe you guys were not into rap but more on pop and just happened to start on the wrong song. Because BTS are not just not rap, hip hop. They have very diverse musical styles...and it works! Most artists cannot pull that off but they have. Anyway, seeing your reaction to the song explanation, I no longer think you made a mistake in choosing UGH as the first BTS song to react to. Since you guys related to the message, its perfect for you. People always discover BTS when they need it the most and just at the right time in their lives. In any case, you may want to check out their more recent songs which are in English. They have had 5 successive Billboard #1 singles, so maybe you want to check those out first as 4 of them are in English. More pop, 1 reggae (collaboration with Jason Derulo) and 1 pop rock, collaboration with Coldplay. As great as the English songs are, its the Korean songs which are deep and has all different styles. So the question is - what type of music are you more into and we could give suggestions based on that.
DJ likes hip-hop and MCA likes hard rock
@@GetSidewaysReacts, what about a hard rock/rap song lol? Try Dionysus👍. Another one to try is Fake Love (extended vr) which is a softer rock song
@@GetSidewaysReacts they is DNA rock remix, boy I luv and SOOO MUCH MORE. and for hip hop I don't have to recommend any cause you will find that in every song
@@GetSidewaysReacts Dope and Fire also had the rock vibe...
There are drummers upload their liveshow as backup band behind the stage... You can see the Rock vibes come from.... 😁😁😁😁
You should react to their song with all 7 members called Black Swan. Bts is very diverse so also reacting to the Fiesta Room 2021 will give you a look at some of their discography
I liked your reaction. You seemed very open minded. Thanks for giving them a second chance. You'll be surprised with their lyricism, they're actually very intelligent and creative young men. They're very relatable because they aren't afraid to talk about their fears, dreams, problems, etc. in their songs. They want to make a difference in this world and they often get hate for what they believe in . They're very goal oriented and have worked really hard to get where they are right now. And as Suga has said, if you really listen to our songs, you'll liked them.
Wow thank you for the effort to understand the meaning 😭🙏👍.....So many of BTS' songs have such profound meaning and their music and lyric is truly healing, really language isn't a barrier because Army's all over the world have translated their songs and content in their own languages. You should also get to know them. They write their own songs, mostly the rappers. Suga and RM(group's leader) are Underground rappers whereas Jhope learnt to rap from them before debut. JHope is basically a dancer and the group's dance coach.
Love BTS 💜💜💜
Nice reaction💜
Wow I really like you guys. I was already impressed when your 1st reaction to them was Ugh, but reacting to the explanation video cemented it for me. You def have a new fan. And since I know you like rock music, (I used to be really into all forms of rock, I saw Motley Crue in concert when I was 12 lol, now I'm going to see BTS in 2 weeks!) you should check out some of their songs with a rock vibe:
Ma City
DNA (Pedal 2 LA mix is a rock remix, but the original also has rock vibes)
Dionysus
Boy in Love
Danger
Some of these don't have mv's, I'd suggest watching the live stage and reading lyrics off doolset. Oh, & I've seen people recommending This is BTS An Introduction To BTS by xCeleste. (You should also watch This is ARMY An Introduction To BTS Fans, also by xCeleste) they can be a bit longer than you may expect but know that ARMYs would watch reactions over an hour long so we will support you if you'd like to do that. 🙂 I hope you'll get to know them as people as well as through their music. Their coming up story is amazing. They will also give you hope for a better world and restore your faith in humanity a little more.
Thanks again for reacting to them...pls continue to explore them & their music. You guys are doing great & I am looking forward to seeing you guys go down the rabbit hole that is BTS 💜💜💜
DKDKTV is one of the best channel 4 me when it comes to understand the deep lyrics of Bts
Love ur reactions 🤍🤍 plese keep reacting to bts 🤍
