"It's kinda stupid what walls we put up because society labels something." "That's the lesson I'm taking from this is not to have prejudices like that. Cause now that we've given them a chance, we All love them." (Control room celebration) BTS done it again! Love this reaction!
@Abydell26 Thank you so much for the kind words :) We appreciate you so much! We get so much enjoyment from these comments and from bringing you reactions.
RM is honestly the most brilliant lyricist I’ve seen in a long, long time. He is an actual genius and is obsessed with language (and is multi lingual) so his lyrics are BRILLIANT. Also, he’s not lying about his start being poetry- he was a poet as a young teen before he was a rapper. He is also the main lyricist for BTS and is credited with writing over 200 songs at this point. He’s also their leader. So that should give you a picture of how awesome their music is. Also, regarding his name- he did go by Rap Monster in the beginning but dropped that like 6 years ago.
@@atlantis315It is my favorite album of all time and I'm old as dirt...first rock musician crush was from Led Zeppelin! Indigo is a true masterpiece and the most intimate listening experience I've ever had. 💜
RM makes you think, Suga/Agust D makes you feel, JHope makes you smile. The BTS rap line is top notch! They aren't afraid to drop swear words, but why waste the feel of them, when if you drop them where you need, it holds greater impact! Keep checking them out! There's too much to check out...RM's Mono and Indigo, JHope's Jack in the Box, AgustD's AgustD and D2, the BTS Cyphers and the live cypher medley, and so on and so on!
Completely agree!!! I am not even a rap fan but I listen to the rap line of BTS! They are such great artists!!! They are the CORE of BTS! ( I am an OT7!)
Te diría que más que sonreír Hobi te hace vibrar.... recuerda que aprendió de los 2 más grandes raperos por eso tiene la mezcla perfecta de los dos: versatilidad💜💜
Thank you so much! Suga once said "You'll like BTS music if you listen without prejudice". It's just appetizer guys 😊 ARMY always said BTS saved us with their music 💜
Another of my Favourite reactors called RM “a party in a library”.. he is deeply rooted in poetry and art… The whole indigo album of which this the title track, is 10 tracks reviewing his twenties in 10 different genres J hope raps with his whole body capturing remarkable rhythms and flow Suga, agust d, is raw honest self exposure And Rm is the poetic intellectual Subscribed today💜
I think I appreciate BTS a lot because thanks to them I've learned to appreciate humanness more. Before discovering them I was mostly only into rock, and I still love it but I was very close-minded when it comes to listening to other genres, specifically when it comes to pop. I liked what the people I looked up to considered good and artsy, at the end of the day I was following what was the trend in my little circle and wanting to feel like I had better music taste than most people I guess. So not expecting much but being open enough to explore BTS and what they have to offer, I came across so much more than what I could have ever imagined. You can tell they pour passion, they create amazing art and even their more typical pop boyband-ie songs have something different to offer (not that they need to), I enjoy those songs wholeheartedly even if they might not be my favorite ones, I learned to have fun one might say. I appreciate the vulnerability they are brave enough to put on their songs the most thought. They manage to represent the human experience in their songs so well while they share their personal stories and find solace in the process. I like their flashy performances, I love their more stripped-down ones where they’re just having fun, I like their fun songs, and I love their deep and/or introspective ones. I think everything comes down to what you resonate with the most, and I resonate a lot with the way they portray their humanness. Now I listen to as many genres as I can, I see as many things as I can, and I try everything I can because you really never know exactly what you'll find.
Hi guys, each one of the rappers has their own unique style. Suga (AgustD) is very raw/street/grittier, RM is intellectual, philosopher, poetic and J-Hope is more carefree/bubbly/upbeat (apart from his latest album which went a bit darker). They are all talented lyricists and producers - they produce nearly all of BTS material, which is massive, (alongside their solo work).
I enjoyed your reaction! RM is an amazing lyricist. I'd like to recommend Outro:tear live from Wembley stadium. Suga wrote the song when BTS were talking about disbanding in 2018. It's a fantastic performance from the rappers and I think seeing the three together and live is something you guys would enjoy. I hope you will check it out.
RM's music is poetry and he is one of the best lyricist I've come across in my lifetime. Whenever I listen to his music, it makes me look deep into myself. I love his mixtape Mono and his solo album Indigo, they're excellent!
"Indigo" and "Mono" have enormous healing power. In my case they calm my anxiety, when I feel like I'm about to have a period of anxiety I just use my headphones and listen to Nam's voice and I forgot everything. Thanks for your reaction, Borahae 💜💜
Rap Monster is his old name. He doesn't use it anymore. He is the BTS leader, learned how to speak English from watching tv show "Friends." High IQ. A real intellectual. Songwriter. ex-underground rapper.
Thank you guys! For keeping an open mind, for reading the comments, for recognizing the artistry and different musicality and uniqueness of BTS members. I really hope you continue to delve deeper into not only the boys’ solo songs but also those of them as the group. They have all the genres so you will find songs you love, songs you like and songs you may not be too keen on. And that’s fine since music is very subjective. Suga/AgustD once said that if you listen to BTS music with an open mind, you will find it to your liking. In my 52 years I’ve enjoyed all kinds of music, all genres, multiple languages, but never have I ever enjoyed songs like the ones these boys do. And if you understand them as people, their personalities, it takes you to another level. I’m very glad I found them. They give joy, comfort, introspection, life lessons…the list is endless. Thank you again.
Thank you for taking the time to comment! We enjoy reading all your wonderful words and getting to know BTS better through your feedback :) keep them coming and we'll keep the reactions coming!
@@roughboyz6453 Thank you. On a lighter note, another army described the 3 rappers’ style perfectly. “Suga will tell you that you are shit. RM will explain why you are shit. JHope will tell you it’s okay to be shit.” I love this description. Looking forward to more reactions from you all. 💜
This review was such a delight!! Thank you so much for your honest and genuine reaction to RM. It really made my day. So, RM aka Rap Monster aka Kim Namjoon is the leader of BTS. Army lovingly refer to his as our President. In time, if you get to know the guys better you will see why. He is a beloved and highly respected leader who is known for his genius IQ (148), heartfelt lyrics, eloquent speeches (see his United Nations speech from 2018, the first of 3 appearances by BTS), and kind nature. All members look up to him, even the ones that are older than him and refer to him as "the best leader". There are many reasons for the success of BTS but I firmly believe that it would have been absolutely impossible without RM's deep and profound lyrics. It's one of the most crucial things that set them apart from all the competition. You will find that each of the 7 members are uniquely talented and bring an irreplaceable element to the music. They have hundreds of songs and I can only think of one song that I truly do not care for at all. Looking forward to seeing more real and raw reactions from you guys! Borahae! 💜
It bears mentioning that RM released Wild Flower (from the album INDIGO) last December. It was around the time Jin, the first in the group to serve in the military, left to serve. That was a... weird time for BTS and Army because we were still figuring out what "temporary group hiatus" and "venturing to solo works" meant or what it looked like. And RM was clearly at a crossroads in 2022 as well. You could sense in his words, his letters to Army, the interviews he gave at that time. He was grappling with his status as BTS' leader, the expectations and challenges (i.e., prejudices, gatekeeping, racism) they faced as a group... then there's RM, a poet/rapper who wants to share his thoughts and music to the world. It all probably felt very confusing to him. He mentioned in their famous "2022 Festa Dinner" that he wanted to throw all of that away, return to his roots, and remember why he loved music and why he does what he does in the first place. Many say derogatory stuff against BTS, but what they cannot accuse them of is that they are manufactured. RM and Suga most especially, they were rappers, writers, composers, and producers before they became kpop idols. They are genuine, sincere musicians, and it's a joy to see them falling in love with music with the same fervor and enthusiasm as they did before BTS became a household name in the west (which brought so much pressure on them all).
With 7 extremely talented individuals in one group, who know how to work together and compromise, you get the best group in the world. Then the solo work showcases the individual talents. They have an enormous body of work as a group. then add in the solo work and you can listen to them for days without repeat. RM is the poet and the philosopher and the wordsmith. Firework and wild flower sound almost the same in Korean. And picking your favorite song is going to get harder the deeper you get into the rabbit hole 💜.
RM's songwriting is just amazing, he loves reading and he's so intelligent and well-spoken, literally everything he does makes you think. His latest album indigo is an absolute masterpiece. I'm just finding your chanel and I'm absolutely subscribing because I would love watching you react to more of BTS stuff. With RM being one of the main songwriters in the team with 200+ credits for songwriting and composing you will be more than fascinated to find the treasures in BTS discography. Thank you so much that was a great reaction guys. 💜 P.s. If you are interested in getting to know a bit more about the story of the group and the members of BTS "A guide to BTS members: The Bangtan 7" from Taylor Mari's chanel is the best option to watch, it's a little long but totally worth it, everything is very well put together and you must know that Army watches even hours long videos with pauses and everything^^
Great reaction!! I've heard that song 100 times easy. It still makes me cry, even today watching your reaction. I'm grateful he says he's doing good and he's happy. But, that's how he felt at that time😢
All hail to our president Kim Namjoon aka RM. 😊 RM is the leader of BTS (not main singer, like in western understanding of the word "leader", but more like sport team captain). This song is very introspective. Namjoon is really doing great during their solo interlude period. He was all this weight of responsibility for his team on his shoulders since the day when they debuted (he was 18 at that time) and even before debute, while still being a trainee. And now, when all guys are doing their own stuff and doing it very well, he has an opportunity to take care of himself. RM's poetry never cease to amaze me. You should check out his Still Life MV. And Moonchild. And than for a striking contrast - Joke MV. Also Balming Tiger - Sexy Nukim ft. RM. And So!YoON! - Smoke Sprite ft. RM. Don't forget that you haven't really seen Hobi's artistic range. Try J-Hope's Daydream and Airplane from his first mixtape. BTS - Ego (his solo song in BTS album). And then More and Arson from his latest album for a contrast. It was announced yesterday, after AgustD final concert of his solo tour that he is starting his enlistment process. ARMY are heartbroken for the third time after Jin's and J-Hope's enlistment. They even came to his final concert. 😭 You saw angry AgustD (Daechwita and Haegeum). Now you should see broken AgustD (Amygdala) and soothing AgustD (Snooze - there's a great fan made MV eith subs for this one). Also People pt.2. And for the record, I only trying to go with title tracks and music videos, but there's so much more of their good songs without videos. About vocalist. As Jungkook was the last one to release a song in this moment: Seven MV and Seven Performance video is a must (and it's better be in one video, or you can be spoiled, because performance video has a slightly different version of the song that change it drastically, lol). Jimin's Like Crazy and Set Me Free Pt.2 (Set Me Free you can consider pt.1 is actually AgustD' song). Jin's The Astronaut (this song was gift to him from Coldplay) and Epiphany. V's Singularity MV and Le Jazz de V performance video.
@@missheju169didn't quite do Layover yet, only announced it's release date and released MVs for a couple tracks from the upcoming album. "Love Me Again" and "Rainy Days", both of which really show his unique contributions/place in the group.
That is Youjean from the Korean Rock Group Cherry Filter singing on RM's Wildflower which is a track on RM's latest solo album Indigo. RM is The 'Leader' of BTS or Spokesperson as he deals with the company and keeps his members kind of in order. He's one of main Song Writers of the group. All seven are Song Writers, Composers and Producers to a great or lesser degree.
He’s a brilliant lyricist. He’s a poet who happens to rap and sing really well.😊 His lyrics are often so deep, his use of word play is just chef’s kiss. But he could go the other way, too. He could be silly and fun and just rap real fast to silence his haters. An all rounder.
All of the members of BTS are unique to each other, especially their solos but they're all so amazing! I've seen some others recommending you to react to the live performance of Outro: Tear. It has the rappers of the group, the three you've reacted to so far. I think you'd all enjoy their performance, also if you plan on getting into the rest of the group, the best introduction is A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7 by Taylor Mari. Appreciate all the reactions!
RM is the main lyricist for BTS. NOW I want you all to imagine the range of lyrics he has written over the past 10 years in bts. Yall are missing out by not jumping straight into their discography. THE ALBUMS are lyrically rich and some of the greatest I've seen in the entire industry. RM, Agustd/suga and Jhope are ones writing all BTS songs. The stories they write when the 3 of them get together is magical. Also RMs album Indigo is genreless masterpiece. For the love of God check out their Albums!!! Both bts and as soloists. Don't underestimate them as a group! They create pure art.
I'm so happy that you enjoy the ride ! It's just the beginning, there is so much amazing and deep songs in BTS discography, or in each of the 7 members solo songs/solo mixtapes/album ! This song is a track of RM' solo album Indigo, with is truly a piece of art.
I feel like you guys got the meaning of this song and understand RM little bit good than any reactors, idk why i feel like that but whatever it is i appreciate it
I love this song. 💜💜 like another member Jin performed his song astronaut with cold play and cold play made a speech about them living in a box that they had to play a certain kind of music and had to fit in a box, that people have fear of stuff they do not know. (Wonderful speech btw). And one time suga/agustd said "You'll like BTS music if you listen without prejudice"
RM, our precious leader! This song is from his latest album, INDIGO, and the whole songs are GREAT!! I deeply appreciate your open perspective. I hope your first BTS song as a complete group will be one of their Korean tracks. They have 3 full-English songs (Dynamite, Butter, Permission to Dance) which might be the most famous in the U.S. However, those were released during the dark times of the pandemic, so the vibe was intended to be quite poppy, providing a happy and cheerful feeling to people facing tough times. To truly experience their originality, I strongly recommend starting with their Korean songs. As a group song, the one I recommend is "On" (Kinetic Manifesto Film). You will love it!!
What I dislike personally about the typical boy bands is how a lot of them being controlled by their own company/s/labels, they don’t get to do what they want like writing and composing their own songs or even trying different genres/types of music like for example I know Zayn from one direction left the band because he said he didn’t enjoy their music and he even tried to do different type of music in the band but the label didn’t allow him. That why most bands end up disbanding because they are not allowed to do what they want even in K-pop groups a lot of them are controlled by their company. That is why I love BTS because they have so much freedom they are allowed to write and compose their own songs and even do solo songs/stuff while being in the group.
You hear - there are 3 rappers 4 vocals. No so. All can sing, dance and rap. Difference styles, which explains why they are a powerhouse as a group! So many genres too!
Big Hit was so impressed with Kim Namjoon (RM) he was sign at their first meeting and decision was made to form a group around him. RM (Rap Monster) in the beginning however he grew out of it and just goes by RM. Many will say he is a poet and he truly is. He is the leader of BTS and the leader role in K-pop is the person who discusses issues, ideas, and the business side and represents the group to the company and visa versa. As you’ve been told before BTS write, compose, and produce most of their songs. RM and Suga were writing songs at the age of 10 years old. You really like this song so I’m recommending his latest album he dropped in November, 2022 called Indigo and you will be amazed. The album consists of many collaborations with many Korean artist, a Japanese artist just before he passed away, and American artists such as Anderson Paak and Erykah Badu. I really like that you guys focused on the lyrics and for the most of us armies love about them. Thank you so much! 💜
When BTS debuted RM stood for Rap Monster, but a little while in he wanted to be known as RM, standing for Real Me😊 I love that you noticed that they are thoughtful in their lyrics. That is pretty much always the case. They do have their raps where they're reacting to the haters, where they sometimes use swear words, but you won't hear much of that. I love this song of RM's!!! It's so beautiful! And Youjeen's vocals are amazing! I only delved into BTS a year ago, and it's some of the best fun I've had with music, and I've been an avid music lover for many many years. I, like you, would have never bothered listening to a boy band, or kpop. My 44 yr old daughter turned me on to them a year ago, and i've been so deep in ever since. These guys are so special! I agree, they are so much more than any label that can be put on them. Thank you so so much for your thoughtful and genuine appreciation for BTS!!! I will be subscribing today, cuz I have a feeling we might in for a ride together😊 Yay!!!💜 I do have one I'd like to recommend, and watch with you. It's Outro Tear, live at Wembley Stadium. It's a dynamite one done by all three from the rap line. It's a song Suga wrote in 2018 when they were contemplating breaking up. It is so powerful, and GREAT!
RM doesn't use Rap Monster anymore (just RM now). This song is off his newest solo album called Indigo. The entire album is a masterpiece. RM is the leader of BTS and was the first member under Big Hit, which is now part of HYBE. RM is known for his poetic lyrics. He's a literal genius with an IQ of 148. Suga (aka AgustD) was the 2nd member. Both of them were in underground rap before getting into BTS and the Idol world. J-Hope joined as a street dancer who won national awards, and learned how to rap from RM and Suga. The other 4 members of BTS are vocalists (Jung Kook - the main vocalist who put out a solo single "Seven" and is expected to put out another single and a mini album by November, Jimin whose solo album is called FACE, V whose solo album Layover was just announced and will be out Sept 8th, and Jin who only had time to do a solo single before joining mandatory military). Just FYI - BTS is still a group, but they are currently gradually joining the mandatory military in South Korea and are expected to regroup in 2025. Jin enlisted in Dec 2022, J-Hope enlisted Apr 2023, and they just announced Suga/Agust D will be next. I expect they will all likely be enlisted by the end of 2023 in order to all be back together in 2025. Time will tell. Though they each can write and compose, the 3 main song writers are the 3 rappers. Suga is also an excellent producer. That's enough for now. I look forward to your BTS journey. I found them in May 2021 and I've been official ARMY (fan) since a couple months after that. My intro to BTS was "Black Swan" MV. In my eyes, their various talents are unmatched.
Yes, RM used to go by Rap Monster but he changed his name to RM in 2017. He said he changed because he didn't like referring to himself as a monster and he thought Rap Monster was too limiting of a name for his music. So RM doesn't really stand for anything specific but he has said a possible meaning could be "Real Me" or something else, it's basically whatever people want it to mean.
💜🫰 Welcome to the Rabbit Hole guys! We're here for the ride! You make good points, keep going 🫶💜 Edit) I watched your reaction again. You are right! This song is poetry. RM is a poet who happens to rap and an idol. They do have different sounds, the rappers have different flows.. The vocal line have different sound and ranges too. You have a lot of good points in your comments. I am excited for you to deep dive into their vast discography and find why most Army (fandom name) are not usually Kpop fans, because BTS are different from traditional kpop idol music which are mass produced and more focused on visual arts than how BTS are more in dept and involved kn their music and atistry since they write and produce most of their music/songs hence it is more personal and connect more to fans. Looking forward to the next one! 💜
@sweetlorre 💜 “I watched you reaction again.” That makes me so happy! Thank you for the support 🙂 we wouldn’t be here without ARMY! We would have never considered that they were so much more than just another pop/k-pop group. You guys helped dispel that notion for us and we’re so grateful to you. We can’t wait to bring you more BTS content! Stay tuned and BORAHAE 💜
@@roughboyz6453 Sorry for the typo. I was working when I typed this comment, I'm having breakfast the first time so I focused on your facial expressions and I didn't get to digest what you are all saying then when I started work, I put it on again then just listened and I was so happy that you were all enjoying it and open minded. I watch BTS reactions everyday, it's like watching/hearing the songs for the first time vicariously 🤣 Because I do not have fellow Army where I'm at now. And I appreciate your genuine and 'normal' reactions unlike most reactors who overdo it just to gain the support of Army. Be yourselves and true Army will support and guide you. Borahae 🫰💜
@@roughboyz6453. FYI. Your reactions are getting shouts in ARMY twitter. We are a very skeptical group when it comes to reactors bc too many are clout chasing fakes rectors on YT. 🤦🏻♀️. Your reactions seen sincere and your comments have substance. ARMY appreciate honesty and respectful comments the most. You don’t have to like every thing you hear but as long as your honest and respectful, we’re good! Thank you! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Looking forward to your journey.
@@fy3845 yesss trueeee, i usually scroll through reactions to look for reactors that have substance.. I like Stay Tune TV too and these guys because their reactions are more conversational than most that are too hyped up which I feel like just putting up a show.. I hope we can guide them through this journey.. 💜🫰
Even drunk this amazing man sung one of most different and musical incredible pieces Change pt2. 😊 His album Indigo is a masterpiece and he is now working on other songs that will be released soon before his military enlistment. His Lonely song, Still Life with Anderson Paak or Nr2 are amazing. 💜
I can not wait for you guys to learn all of them !!! You’re just discovering the rappers for now - wait until you watch and learn about the vocal lines - and ALL seven of them together is phenomenal!! And you haven’t seen them perform !!! They are super talented, hardworking and yet super humble ! And then you learn their personalities! That’s it - you fall deeper into the wonderful world of Bangtan !!! So glad you’ve found them & are so open minded and have embraced to learn about them ! It will be an amazing journey ! 💜
I hope you take the time to listen to his Indigo album and you will be amazed of how artistic he is. He is called the Poet who raps. RM is a genuine artist.
I can't recommend the entire album that this song comes from highly enough. It is called Indigo and you should really listen to the whole album in order to get the full feel of it. Thanks for this reaction!
I love that you’ve done each of the rapline’s solo songs. And even all these three have soooooo much more to them. On one hand I want to explain what you can look forward, and on the other hand you’ll probably love to discover it yourselves more. Besides… just like the “boyband” and “K-pop” term is somewhat limiting one’s view on what something might be, I don’t want to risk limiting your view on BTS and the members. Because they really stretch far in their abilities and artistry. And I think you will find songs by BTS and the members that you will classify as boyband or K-pop, because they are that too. I guess why BTS and us ARMY are so loud about not labeling them is because it so so so often limits people’s expectations to what and who they are and what they do. It’s not nearly wide enough terms to describe them properly. I can tell you like the introspective side, which BTS is very famous and loved for. They have many songs that reflect on life - and albums, where a song will regain a new understanding when seen in the context of the album. They really do pride themselves in telling a story throughout the album - especially the Love Youself-series and Map Of The Soul-series. They also have bangers where they rap fast and slap back at haters. And they are 🔥🔥🔥 And don’t even get me started on the vocal line. Anyway. Maybe you’d love “Singularity” by V? He’s the last member to release his album (on the 8th of September). Singularity in from the Love Yourself: Tear album which is probably my favorite BTS album. Maybe. It’s hard to pick one.
Thank you for your comment :) I'm so happy you enjoyed our reaction! Thank you for the suggestion and info. We'll have to check that out soon. In the meantime we got AMYGDALA coming Saturday-- stay tuned!
His album Indigo is just a masterpiece. He has a collab with Anderson Paak in it, it's called Still Life, yall should do this one next. He also has a collab with Erikah Badu in it, "Yun".
RM stands for Rap Monster however that was the stage name he used when he was younger. Now as he evolved, matured, he goes by RM, which can has a new meaning, Real Me. RM is a genius, poet and credited with most of the songs that he has written for their group... it's no imagination that he probably has 300 written songs credited under his name. RM is also the leader of the group, originally started as an underground rapper who was the first member to be casted. He is the only fluent english speaking member from the group and I think his intelligence, guidance and vision has helped BTS be as successful as they are today. He's just a genius... such a vibe! Beautiful, interesting and humble soul.
RM's album Indigo is his reflection of his youth, his twenties and the ending of that era for him. He is a poetic genius and the reason some of the other members joined BTS
When Namjoon (RM) was in 5th grade, he wrote a poem called The Korean Tiger and Reunification. Even at this age, we see his use of metaphors to express his ruminations.
Gentlemen thank you for giving the BTS members a try. You have become my favorite reactors. I am enjoying your fall down into the BTS rabbit hole. I am loving your calm and mature discussions on how the members’ music make you feel. Please continue to explore each member and then the group as a whole. There is so much amazing and varied content for you to experience. I’m definitely along for that ride.
@kathryncrowley9879 Heyyy, We're so honored to hear that! So glad we can bring you enjoyment and hopefully put a smile on your face :) Can't wait to bring you more reactions! We're getting around to all the suggestions and we've got the third Agust D installment coming SATURDAY-- stay tuned!
now it would be very cool to see the 3 rappers together. Please do Outro tear live from Wembley. Subs are included . This is an epic performance an you can see the synergy these three guys can create on stage. They are all fantastic on their own, but together? unbelievable...this is also true for the whole BTS. I am so glad you are exploring more. Looking forward to the next one .czcams.com/video/UDuaJGYe8EQ/video.html
RM is a fucking genius, his lyricism is so perfect and accurate like it makes me wonder how is he this talented? Both RM and suga are the best when it comes to lyrics in the kpop industry, nobody even comes close to them and every single member is so versatile, BTS are not a typical boyband or typical kpop band, they're very unique and have their own color that's the main reason why they're loved by many and have the biggest Fandom in the world , love your reactions! I can see how genuine you guys are.
Namjoon (RM) Our fearless leader. He's the leader of BTS and an ACTUAL poet. All off his lyrics always hit you in the feels. Every member of BTS is so diverse so their solo music is incredibly diverse as well.
I would highly suggest the introduction to bts by Taylor to learn more about them. All there albums, soloor a group are no skips. I am 53 and grew up on rock and metal, but BTS is my favorite group.
Yes, RM = Rap Monster was the original meaning. He later changed it to Real Me to reflect his growth as a person and his image of self as he grew. His personal music studio is still called Mon Studio, reflecting his earlier stage name. He is one of the main songwriters and producers in BTS and you can see his genius lyricism throughout their discography. Professionally he just goes by RM. His real name is Kim Namjoon. ARMY refer to him as RM, Namjoon, Joonie or Joon.
Thanks for sharing your genuine thoughts💜🙏🇺🇸. ARMY(fans) Stan BTS because of their lyrics, then their personalities. They’re so humble and nice gentlemen.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Loved your genuine response to the song. I appreciate the honesty and sincerity! Each song on "Mono" and "Indigo" means so much to me! I hope you get to experience the amazing artist that Kim Namjoon (RM) is! I will be looking forward to many more BTS and solo song reactions, particularly RM! Subscribed!💜
The thing about BTS is when they write, it’s coming from within, so sincere and authentic. Like, not pretending like a lot of American celebrities do. If you ever end up watching their old lives with army, RM for example, he talks to us like we are no less than he is. We gain a lot of comfort from the lyrics and because of who they are, we do not feel betrayed since it’s really their story/sentiment. Not that they don’t have fun songs, because they have such bangers. Don’t be fooled by bangers, there is still a meaning and message if you pay attention what they’re really saying in the lyrics. RM’s mixtape RM (2015), Mono. (2018), and his latest Indigo (released 12/2/2022). All three very different. They’re like different eras in his life. SO good.
their discography is composed of 200+ songs and counting (with a lot of solo work coming out), and in every genre. but honestly, i love almost all of them. ask an army and they struggle to come up with a top ten.😂 also, you'll notice with every song review of theirs, more than a handful will tell you, "that's my favorite song" or "that's the song that saved me." their songs resonate with so many of us. that's why they are so loved by many. oh and, not to mention, they are gems as human beings. enjoy the rabbit hole. there is a lot to discover.
RM are one the best lyricist in history..Indigo are masterpieces of pure art.. all kings by themselves all together are just legends! Thank for you thoughts and reactions love it can’t wait for the next to our 7 Precious Kings 💜💜💜💜💜
Definitely check out Mono and Indigo by RM, his other singles too, not necessarily react to all if y'all can't but as far as his music and art is considered, it's phenomenal!
8:45 exactly, prejudice prevents discovering new awesome things. Btw Beatles were also labelled boyband at the beginning, and articles wrote that they are aweful and only "hysterical girls" is their audience.
It is so nice to see people appreciate BTS, and specifically today RM, the way they/he should be appreciated. There will undoubtedly be songs you like more and less along the journey of discovering BTS group and individual member songs, but that's normal. People have different tastes. What is amazing about BTS is that they have experimented with so many different genres that pretty much anyone can find something they like....or love.
I do love that BTS has been able to do some solo work while still performing as a group. I think that fans being used to that and supporting solo projects, even seeing them supporting each other, makes the music even better. We don’t see solo songs as threats to the group. That said,the rap and vocals on this is beautiful.
That’s the Magnum Opus of RM ‘The President’. He is the founding member of BTS. Their BigHit CEO Mr Bang PD was so impressed by him, that he signed RM immediately and formed BTS around him.
if you liked this song now, it would hit so much harder if you knew their back story. This song destroyed me when it came out. I can't even put it on repeat because it pulls at my heart strings. Namjoon (RM) is the leader for good reason. Army calls him our President, because honestly, if this man becomes the president of the world, our world will be in a good place. 💜
Rm has many different styles just like all 3 rappers. Rm's lyrics are my favorite because he is a poet. I love his hard hitting songs like "joke" all the way to his softer things from his new album. I love all 3 guys stuff
Thank you for reacting to RM his lyrics are beautiful and deep he is a genius his IQ is 148 that's why it's easy for him to write, these songs are so deep Army love our precious leader
Good for you guys for having an open mind. BTS and their astonishingly talented members is not like any other group ever. I've been a music fan for more decades than I like to admit and BTS are built different. RM is my bias for a reason - his leadership has been integral to who they are as a group in a "creative director" kind of way. They get a lot of hype now, but they are still worth MORE than that.
RM is a genuis and truly has a way with words. Wildflower is so beautiful. RM is actually the leader of bts btw (but like you were mentioning in the video, you can't view that from a westerner lense. he's not the "jt" of the group or tries to be the "main" dude. He's a true leader and the other guys have a huge amount of respect for him). I want to mention that bts and the members solo do do pop at times too. They have music for everyone. But just wanted to let you know. All seven members of bts are still together. There debut as a group was in 2013. They're taking a break until 2025/26 because in South Korea, all able-bodied men have to serve mandatory military service. Im sure others have mentioned it, but I think you'd like watching the guide to the 7 members of bts by Taylor. Its really informative.
when I say bts are underrated, I mean it with my whole heart coz only bts fan knows the magnitude and authenticity of their talent. Most of the general audience is still unaware of their sheer artistry nd musicality....they are ended up being pushed away thinking to be xyz popular. Of course, they r superstars! but they aren't famous the way people think them to be, You won't find an artist who gets sooo much respect and love from their fans... it is just rare nowadays. Please check out more of bts work, u will be amazed to see RM's lyrical prowess, Agustd's intense storytelling/compositions and Jhope's quirkiness and diverse work.
Thank you for reacting to this song, it’s one of my favorite songs off this album (Indigo) by RM. He’s known for his poetic lyrics. I would suggest you watch A Guide to BTS by Taylor to get to know all 7 boys and their music. Looking forward to more reactions!
Wildflower is a masterpiece and RM is a poet. I look forward to your BTS journey as you get to know all of the boys and their individual styles as well as BTS as a whole. BTS put their authentic selves into their music, and that's why they've touched the lives of so many people across all ages and locations.
RM said that BTS are like fireworks and that he as an individual is a flower work and that he is both RM the leader of BTS and RM aka Kim Namjoon. BTS is a group who loves and respects each other more than their own families. Every single member brings something different, special and important to the group such that BTS would not be BTS without all 7 of them. When you start listening to BTS do not start with Dynamite, Butter or PTD. While those are important songs and have their rightful place in BTS’ history, they were not planned like their vast catalogue , which was released in distinct chapters based on their growth as as a group, with a fictitious storyline running throughout. I recommend starting with songs like Spring Day, I Need You, Begin, Epiphany, Euphoria, Paradise, 134340, 2!3!, Idol, Magic Shop, Don’t Leave Me and so many more. I don’t think you’ll ever find a song you don’t like. I really don’t.💜
RM has an IQ of 148, and I think his intelligence mixed with his philosophical mind lends itself well to his ability to write beautiful lyrics.
True❤
He is also incredibly emotionally intelligent, which has had a huge impact on the whole group through his leadership.
Yup! Yup! Oh how many books I have read to understand BTS’ messages in lyrics and MVs. Not to mention books that RM recommended. I love love BTS!!!
Namjoon is my bias utt, I'm love so much this song and video clip, masterpiece 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🇧🇷
@@NanciBK so true! good point! Greetings from Tricity in Poland :-)
The entirety of RM's album Indigo is just....absolute art.
Agree
"It's kinda stupid what walls we put up because society labels something."
"That's the lesson I'm taking from this is not to have prejudices like that. Cause now that we've given them a chance, we All love them."
(Control room celebration) BTS done it again!
Love this reaction!
@Abydell26 Thank you so much for the kind words :) We appreciate you so much! We get so much enjoyment from these comments and from bringing you reactions.
RM is honestly the most brilliant lyricist I’ve seen in a long, long time. He is an actual genius and is obsessed with language (and is multi lingual) so his lyrics are BRILLIANT. Also, he’s not lying about his start being poetry- he was a poet as a young teen before he was a rapper. He is also the main lyricist for BTS and is credited with writing over 200 songs at this point. He’s also their leader. So that should give you a picture of how awesome their music is.
Also, regarding his name- he did go by Rap Monster in the beginning but dropped that like 6 years ago.
RM’s “Closer” is a masterpiece.
100% My favorite 💜
the whole Indigo is a mastepiece and insanely re-listenable. Like insanely. It just doesnt get old.
@@atlantis315It is my favorite album of all time and I'm old as dirt...first rock musician crush was from Led Zeppelin! Indigo is a true masterpiece and the most intimate listening experience I've ever had. 💜
Yes! Favorite song next to All Day
10000000% agreeds
RM makes you think, Suga/Agust D makes you feel, JHope makes you smile. The BTS rap line is top notch! They aren't afraid to drop swear words, but why waste the feel of them, when if you drop them where you need, it holds greater impact! Keep checking them out! There's too much to check out...RM's Mono and Indigo, JHope's Jack in the Box, AgustD's AgustD and D2, the BTS Cyphers and the live cypher medley, and so on and so on!
I completely agree.
And then when they do swear, we feel it whole heartedly and yell out right with them. SHIIIIBAAAAALLLL!
Completely agree!!! I am not even a rap fan but I listen to the rap line of BTS! They are such great artists!!! They are the CORE of BTS!
( I am an OT7!)
@@KawaiiKitty13 I was able to yell SHIIIIIBBBBAAAALLLLL live with Suga and 10k other ARMYs! It was so exhilarating, that concert was an experience
Te diría que más que sonreír Hobi te hace vibrar.... recuerda que aprendió de los 2 más grandes raperos por eso tiene la mezcla perfecta de los dos: versatilidad💜💜
Thank you so much! Suga once said "You'll like BTS music if you listen without prejudice". It's just appetizer guys 😊 ARMY always said BTS saved us with their music 💜
Another of my Favourite reactors called RM “a party in a library”.. he is deeply rooted in poetry and art…
The whole indigo album of which this the title track, is 10 tracks reviewing his twenties in 10 different genres
J hope raps with his whole body capturing remarkable rhythms and flow
Suga, agust d, is raw honest self exposure
And Rm is the poetic intellectual

I think I appreciate BTS a lot because thanks to them I've learned to appreciate humanness more. Before discovering them I was mostly only into rock, and I still love it but I was very close-minded when it comes to listening to other genres, specifically when it comes to pop. I liked what the people I looked up to considered good and artsy, at the end of the day I was following what was the trend in my little circle and wanting to feel like I had better music taste than most people I guess. So not expecting much but being open enough to explore BTS and what they have to offer, I came across so much more than what I could have ever imagined. You can tell they pour passion, they create amazing art and even their more typical pop boyband-ie songs have something different to offer (not that they need to), I enjoy those songs wholeheartedly even if they might not be my favorite ones, I learned to have fun one might say. I appreciate the vulnerability they are brave enough to put on their songs the most thought. They manage to represent the human experience in their songs so well while they share their personal stories and find solace in the process. I like their flashy performances, I love their more stripped-down ones where they’re just having fun, I like their fun songs, and I love their deep and/or introspective ones. I think everything comes down to what you resonate with the most, and I resonate a lot with the way they portray their humanness. Now I listen to as many genres as I can, I see as many things as I can, and I try everything I can because you really never know exactly what you'll find.
Beautifully said💜
Absolutely, well said!💜💜
This is one of the loveliest comments I've ever seen describing an ARMY's journey of discovery. 💜
@@luvBTS7 💜💜

RM is our philosophical poet 💜💜💜 His lyricism is untouchable
You should listen to his whole Album *Indigo*. Its just great
I wanted to hit thumbs up to this about 10 times.
Agree!! It's my current favorite solo album out of the guys. Start to finish its so good.
Namjoon is one in a life time artist. It's such a privilege to be able to witness him.
Hi guys, each one of the rappers has their own unique style. Suga (AgustD) is very raw/street/grittier, RM is intellectual, philosopher, poetic and J-Hope is more carefree/bubbly/upbeat (apart from his latest album which went a bit darker). They are all talented lyricists and producers - they produce nearly all of BTS material, which is massive, (alongside their solo work).
Thank you for the info :)
I enjoyed your reaction! RM is an amazing lyricist. I'd like to recommend Outro:tear live from Wembley stadium.
Suga wrote the song when BTS were talking about disbanding in 2018. It's a fantastic performance from the rappers and I think seeing the three together and live is something you guys would enjoy.
I hope you will check it out.

Thank you so much!!
RM's music is poetry and he is one of the best lyricist I've come across in my lifetime. Whenever I listen to his music, it makes me look deep into myself. I love his mixtape Mono and his solo album Indigo, they're excellent!
"Indigo" and "Mono" have enormous healing power. In my case they calm my anxiety, when I feel like I'm about to have a period of anxiety I just use my headphones and listen to Nam's voice and I forgot everything. Thanks for your reaction, Borahae 💜💜
Same here fellow ARMY! Nice to see someone relate to him at the level that I do!😊💜
У меня такая же реакция. Вздыбленные нервы укладываются, теплее становится❤
RM is the main lyricist for BTS. he composes beautiful poetry lyrics with wordplay in multilingual. he's a genius
and he is also the leader of BTS
Rap Monster is his old name. He doesn't use it anymore. He is the BTS leader, learned how to speak English from watching tv show "Friends." High IQ. A real intellectual. Songwriter. ex-underground rapper.
Thank you guys! For keeping an open mind, for reading the comments, for recognizing the artistry and different musicality and uniqueness of BTS members. I really hope you continue to delve deeper into not only the boys’ solo songs but also those of them as the group. They have all the genres so you will find songs you love, songs you like and songs you may not be too keen on. And that’s fine since music is very subjective. Suga/AgustD once said that if you listen to BTS music with an open mind, you will find it to your liking. In my 52 years I’ve enjoyed all kinds of music, all genres, multiple languages, but never have I ever enjoyed songs like the ones these boys do. And if you understand them as people, their personalities, it takes you to another level. I’m very glad I found them. They give joy, comfort, introspection, life lessons…the list is endless. Thank you again.
Thank you for taking the time to comment! We enjoy reading all your wonderful words and getting to know BTS better through your feedback :) keep them coming and we'll keep the reactions coming!
@@roughboyz6453 Thank you. On a lighter note, another army described the 3 rappers’ style perfectly. “Suga will tell you that you are shit. RM will explain why you are shit. JHope will tell you it’s okay to be shit.” I love this description. Looking forward to more reactions from you all. 💜
@@sushmo7100 Haha that's great I love that! 😆 Amygdala is up next!
@@roughboyz6453Heads up: Amygdala is very autobiographic so yes, those things really happened to him. 💜
Couldn't have said it better myself. 👏

Love RM! He is an amazing writer! Poetry in a lot. All the guys are aMazing. Each one uniquely talented!
Makes me so proud to see my fellow Americans enjoying & respecting the culture
Glad to hear! Thank you for watching and commenting :)
This review was such a delight!! Thank you so much for your honest and genuine reaction to RM. It really made my day. So, RM aka Rap Monster aka Kim Namjoon is the leader of BTS. Army lovingly refer to his as our President. In time, if you get to know the guys better you will see why. He is a beloved and highly respected leader who is known for his genius IQ (148), heartfelt lyrics, eloquent speeches (see his United Nations speech from 2018, the first of 3 appearances by BTS), and kind nature. All members look up to him, even the ones that are older than him and refer to him as "the best leader". There are many reasons for the success of BTS but I firmly believe that it would have been absolutely impossible without RM's deep and profound lyrics. It's one of the most crucial things that set them apart from all the competition. You will find that each of the 7 members are uniquely talented and bring an irreplaceable element to the music. They have hundreds of songs and I can only think of one song that I truly do not care for at all. Looking forward to seeing more real and raw reactions from you guys! Borahae! 💜
@VanCityGal
So glad we could make your day better :) Thank you for watching and commenting! Stay tuned for AMYGDALA coming Saturday! Borahae! 💜
It bears mentioning that RM released Wild Flower (from the album INDIGO) last December. It was around the time Jin, the first in the group to serve in the military, left to serve. That was a... weird time for BTS and Army because we were still figuring out what "temporary group hiatus" and "venturing to solo works" meant or what it looked like. And RM was clearly at a crossroads in 2022 as well. You could sense in his words, his letters to Army, the interviews he gave at that time. He was grappling with his status as BTS' leader, the expectations and challenges (i.e., prejudices, gatekeeping, racism) they faced as a group... then there's RM, a poet/rapper who wants to share his thoughts and music to the world. It all probably felt very confusing to him. He mentioned in their famous "2022 Festa Dinner" that he wanted to throw all of that away, return to his roots, and remember why he loved music and why he does what he does in the first place.
Many say derogatory stuff against BTS, but what they cannot accuse them of is that they are manufactured. RM and Suga most especially, they were rappers, writers, composers, and producers before they became kpop idols. They are genuine, sincere musicians, and it's a joy to see them falling in love with music with the same fervor and enthusiasm as they did before BTS became a household name in the west (which brought so much pressure on them all).
This
With 7 extremely talented individuals in one group, who know how to work together and compromise, you get the best group in the world. Then the solo work showcases the individual talents. They have an enormous body of work as a group. then add in the solo work and you can listen to them for days without repeat.
RM is the poet and the philosopher and the wordsmith. Firework and wild flower sound almost the same in Korean.
And picking your favorite song is going to get harder the deeper you get into the rabbit hole 💜.
Indigo and Mono, the whole albums, and Don't Ever Say Love Me. These are some of RM's best.
RM's songwriting is just amazing, he loves reading and he's so intelligent and well-spoken, literally everything he does makes you think. His latest album indigo is an absolute masterpiece. I'm just finding your chanel and I'm absolutely subscribing because I would love watching you react to more of BTS stuff. With RM being one of the main songwriters in the team with 200+ credits for songwriting and composing you will be more than fascinated to find the treasures in BTS discography. Thank you so much that was a great reaction guys. 💜
P.s. If you are interested in getting to know a bit more about the story of the group and the members of BTS "A guide to BTS members: The Bangtan 7" from Taylor Mari's chanel is the best option to watch, it's a little long but totally worth it, everything is very well put together and you must know that Army watches even hours long videos with pauses and everything^^
Up to the guide!!!
Great reaction!! I've heard that song 100 times easy. It still makes me cry, even today watching your reaction. I'm grateful he says he's doing good and he's happy. But, that's how he felt at that time😢
All hail to our president Kim Namjoon aka RM. 😊
RM is the leader of BTS (not main singer, like in western understanding of the word "leader", but more like sport team captain). This song is very introspective. Namjoon is really doing great during their solo interlude period. He was all this weight of responsibility for his team on his shoulders since the day when they debuted (he was 18 at that time) and even before debute, while still being a trainee. And now, when all guys are doing their own stuff and doing it very well, he has an opportunity to take care of himself.
RM's poetry never cease to amaze me. You should check out his Still Life MV. And Moonchild. And than for a striking contrast - Joke MV. Also Balming Tiger - Sexy Nukim ft. RM. And So!YoON! - Smoke Sprite ft. RM.
Don't forget that you haven't really seen Hobi's artistic range. Try J-Hope's Daydream and Airplane from his first mixtape. BTS - Ego (his solo song in BTS album). And then More and Arson from his latest album for a contrast.
It was announced yesterday, after AgustD final concert of his solo tour that he is starting his enlistment process. ARMY are heartbroken for the third time after Jin's and J-Hope's enlistment. They even came to his final concert. 😭
You saw angry AgustD (Daechwita and Haegeum). Now you should see broken AgustD (Amygdala) and soothing AgustD (Snooze - there's a great fan made MV eith subs for this one). Also People pt.2.
And for the record, I only trying to go with title tracks and music videos, but there's so much more of their good songs without videos.
About vocalist. As Jungkook was the last one to release a song in this moment: Seven MV and Seven Performance video is a must (and it's better be in one video, or you can be spoiled, because performance video has a slightly different version of the song that change it drastically, lol).
Jimin's Like Crazy and Set Me Free Pt.2 (Set Me Free you can consider pt.1 is actually AgustD' song).
Jin's The Astronaut (this song was gift to him from Coldplay) and Epiphany.
V's Singularity MV and Le Jazz de V performance video.
Well big hits just dropped layover by V
@@missheju169didn't quite do Layover yet, only announced it's release date and released MVs for a couple tracks from the upcoming album. "Love Me Again" and "Rainy Days", both of which really show his unique contributions/place in the group.
That is Youjean from the Korean Rock Group Cherry Filter singing on RM's Wildflower which is a track on RM's latest solo album Indigo. RM is The 'Leader' of BTS or Spokesperson as he deals with the company and keeps his members kind of in order. He's one of main Song Writers of the group. All seven are Song Writers, Composers and Producers to a great or lesser degree.
He’s a brilliant lyricist. He’s a poet who happens to rap and sing really well.😊 His lyrics are often so deep, his use of word play is just chef’s kiss. But he could go the other way, too. He could be silly and fun and just rap real fast to silence his haters. An all rounder.
Rm lyrics always hit you different
I can’t listen to this song without sobbing 😢😢 brilliant song!
For me it kind of brings back the trauma of the 2022 Festa Dinner, though with a more hopeful ending.
@@Bolachas25 2022 festa dinner was rough. I felt sad esp. towards RM
I listen to Indigo almost daily. It’s truly a masterpiece and this song into No. 2 is 👩🍳 💋
All of the members of BTS are unique to each other, especially their solos but they're all so amazing! I've seen some others recommending you to react to the live performance of Outro: Tear. It has the rappers of the group, the three you've reacted to so far. I think you'd all enjoy their performance, also if you plan on getting into the rest of the group, the best introduction is A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7 by Taylor Mari. Appreciate all the reactions!
LOL I just made a comment to them about reacting to the guide by Taylor 🥰💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
RM is the main lyricist for BTS. NOW I want you all to imagine the range of lyrics he has written over the past 10 years in bts.
Yall are missing out by not jumping straight into their discography. THE ALBUMS are lyrically rich and some of the greatest I've seen in the entire industry. RM, Agustd/suga and Jhope are ones writing all BTS songs. The stories they write when the 3 of them get together is magical.
Also RMs album Indigo is genreless masterpiece.
For the love of God check out their Albums!!! Both bts and as soloists. Don't underestimate them as a group! They create pure art.
I'm so happy that you enjoy the ride ! It's just the beginning, there is so much amazing and deep songs in BTS discography, or in each of the 7 members solo songs/solo mixtapes/album ! This song is a track of RM' solo album Indigo, with is truly a piece of art.
Us too :)
I feel like you guys got the meaning of this song and understand RM little bit good than any reactors, idk why i feel like that but whatever it is i appreciate it
Well, thank you so much for the kind words :)
Rm, Suga and Jhope are all lyrical genius’, but RM is definitely the most philosophical.
I love this song. 💜💜 like another member Jin performed his song astronaut with cold play and cold play made a speech about them living in a box that they had to play a certain kind of music and had to fit in a box, that people have fear of stuff they do not know. (Wonderful speech btw). And one time suga/agustd said "You'll like BTS music if you listen without prejudice"
Each individual of the "group" is so artistically different and the magic of BTS' music is the way they blend together
RM, our precious leader! This song is from his latest album, INDIGO, and the whole songs are GREAT!!
I deeply appreciate your open perspective. I hope your first BTS song as a complete group will be one of their Korean tracks. They have 3 full-English songs (Dynamite, Butter, Permission to Dance) which might be the most famous in the U.S.
However, those were released during the dark times of the pandemic, so the vibe was intended to be quite poppy, providing a happy and cheerful feeling to people facing tough times.
To truly experience their originality, I strongly recommend starting with their Korean songs. As a group song, the one I recommend is "On" (Kinetic Manifesto Film). You will love it!!
What I dislike personally about the typical boy bands is how a lot of them being controlled by their own company/s/labels, they don’t get to do what they want like writing and composing their own songs or even trying different genres/types of music like for example I know Zayn from one direction left the band because he said he didn’t enjoy their music and he even tried to do different type of music in the band but the label didn’t allow him. That why most bands end up disbanding because they are not allowed to do what they want even in K-pop groups a lot of them are controlled by their company. That is why I love BTS because they have so much freedom they are allowed to write and compose their own songs and even do solo songs/stuff while being in the group.
You hear - there are 3 rappers 4 vocals. No so. All can sing, dance and rap. Difference styles, which explains why they are a powerhouse as a group! So many genres too!
Big Hit was so impressed with Kim Namjoon (RM) he was sign at their first meeting and decision was made to form a group around him. RM (Rap Monster) in the beginning however he grew out of it and just goes by RM. Many will say he is a poet and he truly is. He is the leader of BTS and the leader role in K-pop is the person who discusses issues, ideas, and the business side and represents the group to the company and visa versa. As you’ve been told before BTS write, compose, and produce most of their songs. RM and Suga were writing songs at the age of 10 years old. You really like this song so I’m recommending his latest album he dropped in November, 2022 called Indigo and you will be amazed. The album consists of many collaborations with many Korean artist, a Japanese artist just before he passed away, and American artists such as Anderson Paak and Erykah Badu. I really like that you guys focused on the lyrics and for the most of us armies love about them. Thank you so much! 💜
When BTS debuted RM stood for Rap Monster, but a little while in he wanted to be known as RM, standing for Real Me😊
I love that you noticed that they are thoughtful in their lyrics. That is pretty much always the case. They do have their raps where they're reacting to the haters, where they sometimes use swear words, but you won't hear much of that.
I love this song of RM's!!! It's so beautiful! And Youjeen's vocals are amazing!
I only delved into BTS a year ago, and it's some of the best fun I've had with music, and I've been an avid music lover for many many years. I, like you, would have never bothered listening to a boy band, or kpop. My 44 yr old daughter turned me on to them a year ago, and i've been so deep in ever since. These guys are so special! I agree, they are so much more than any label that can be put on them.
Thank you so so much for your thoughtful and genuine appreciation for BTS!!!
I will be subscribing today, cuz I have a feeling we might in for a ride together😊 Yay!!!💜
I do have one I'd like to recommend, and watch with you. It's Outro Tear, live at Wembley Stadium. It's a dynamite one done by all three from the rap line. It's a song Suga wrote in 2018 when they were contemplating breaking up. It is so powerful, and GREAT!
RM doesn't use Rap Monster anymore (just RM now). This song is off his newest solo album called Indigo. The entire album is a masterpiece. RM is the leader of BTS and was the first member under Big Hit, which is now part of HYBE. RM is known for his poetic lyrics. He's a literal genius with an IQ of 148. Suga (aka AgustD) was the 2nd member. Both of them were in underground rap before getting into BTS and the Idol world. J-Hope joined as a street dancer who won national awards, and learned how to rap from RM and Suga. The other 4 members of BTS are vocalists (Jung Kook - the main vocalist who put out a solo single "Seven" and is expected to put out another single and a mini album by November, Jimin whose solo album is called FACE, V whose solo album Layover was just announced and will be out Sept 8th, and Jin who only had time to do a solo single before joining mandatory military). Just FYI - BTS is still a group, but they are currently gradually joining the mandatory military in South Korea and are expected to regroup in 2025. Jin enlisted in Dec 2022, J-Hope enlisted Apr 2023, and they just announced Suga/Agust D will be next. I expect they will all likely be enlisted by the end of 2023 in order to all be back together in 2025. Time will tell. Though they each can write and compose, the 3 main song writers are the 3 rappers. Suga is also an excellent producer. That's enough for now. I look forward to your BTS journey. I found them in May 2021 and I've been official ARMY (fan) since a couple months after that. My intro to BTS was "Black Swan" MV. In my eyes, their various talents are unmatched.
Yes, RM used to go by Rap Monster but he changed his name to RM in 2017. He said he changed because he didn't like referring to himself as a monster and he thought Rap Monster was too limiting of a name for his music. So RM doesn't really stand for anything specific but he has said a possible meaning could be "Real Me" or something else, it's basically whatever people want it to mean.
Kim Namjoon, Kim Namjoon, Kim Namjoon. Brillant.
💜🫰 Welcome to the Rabbit Hole guys! We're here for the ride! You make good points, keep going 🫶💜
Edit) I watched your reaction again. You are right! This song is poetry. RM is a poet who happens to rap and an idol. They do have different sounds, the rappers have different flows.. The vocal line have different sound and ranges too. You have a lot of good points in your comments. I am excited for you to deep dive into their vast discography and find why most Army (fandom name) are not usually Kpop fans, because BTS are different from traditional kpop idol music which are mass produced and more focused on visual arts than how BTS are more in dept and involved kn their music and atistry since they write and produce most of their music/songs hence it is more personal and connect more to fans. Looking forward to the next one! 💜
@sweetlorre 💜 “I watched you reaction again.” That makes me so happy! Thank you for the support 🙂 we wouldn’t be here without ARMY!
We would have never considered that they were so much more than just another pop/k-pop group. You guys helped dispel that notion for us and we’re so grateful to you.

I watch BTS reactions everyday, it's like watching/hearing the songs for the first time vicariously 🤣 Because I do not have fellow Army where I'm at now. And I appreciate your genuine and 'normal' reactions unlike most reactors who overdo it just to gain the support of Army. Be yourselves and true Army will support and guide you. Borahae 🫰💜
@@sweetlorre Haha no worries! We appreciate you :) Stay tuned for the third installment of Agust D AMYGDALA! Borahae 💜
@@roughboyz6453. FYI. Your reactions are getting shouts in ARMY twitter. We are a very skeptical group when it comes to reactors bc too many are clout chasing fakes rectors on YT. 🤦🏻♀️. Your reactions seen sincere and your comments have substance. ARMY appreciate honesty and respectful comments the most. You don’t have to like every thing you hear but as long as your honest and respectful, we’re good! Thank you!
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Looking forward to your journey.
@@fy3845 yesss trueeee, i usually scroll through reactions to look for reactors that have substance.. I like Stay Tune TV too and these guys because their reactions are more conversational than most that are too hyped up which I feel like just putting up a show.. I hope we can guide them through this journey.. 💜🫰
Even drunk this amazing man sung one of most different and musical incredible pieces Change pt2. 😊
His album Indigo is a masterpiece and he is now working on other songs that will be released soon before his military enlistment.
His Lonely song, Still Life with Anderson Paak or Nr2 are amazing. 💜
I love that they used the original vocal track
I can not wait for you guys to learn all of them !!! You’re just discovering the rappers for now - wait until you watch and learn about the vocal lines - and ALL seven of them together is phenomenal!! And you haven’t seen them perform !!! They are super talented, hardworking and yet super humble ! And then you learn their personalities! That’s it - you fall deeper into the wonderful world of Bangtan !!!
So glad you’ve found them & are so open minded and have embraced to learn about them ! It will be an amazing journey ! 💜
We can't wait for you to see our upcoming reactions :) AMYGDALA is up next-- stay tuned!
I hope you take the time to listen to his Indigo album and you will be amazed of how artistic he is. He is called the Poet who raps. RM is a genuine artist.
I can't recommend the entire album that this song comes from highly enough. It is called Indigo and you should really listen to the whole album in order to get the full feel of it. Thanks for this reaction!
I love that you’ve done each of the rapline’s solo songs. And even all these three have soooooo much more to them. On one hand I want to explain what you can look forward, and on the other hand you’ll probably love to discover it yourselves more. Besides… just like the “boyband” and “K-pop” term is somewhat limiting one’s view on what something might be, I don’t want to risk limiting your view on BTS and the members. Because they really stretch far in their abilities and artistry.
And I think you will find songs by BTS and the members that you will classify as boyband or K-pop, because they are that too. I guess why BTS and us ARMY are so loud about not labeling them is because it so so so often limits people’s expectations to what and who they are and what they do. It’s not nearly wide enough terms to describe them properly.
I can tell you like the introspective side, which BTS is very famous and loved for. They have many songs that reflect on life - and albums, where a song will regain a new understanding when seen in the context of the album. They really do pride themselves in telling a story throughout the album - especially the Love Youself-series and Map Of The Soul-series.
They also have bangers where they rap fast and slap back at haters. And they are 🔥🔥🔥
And don’t even get me started on the vocal line.
Anyway.
Maybe you’d love “Singularity” by V? He’s the last member to release his album (on the 8th of September). Singularity in from the Love Yourself: Tear album which is probably my favorite BTS album. Maybe. It’s hard to pick one.
Thank you for your comment :) I'm so happy you enjoyed our reaction!
Thank you for the suggestion and info. We'll have to check that out soon. In the meantime we got AMYGDALA coming Saturday-- stay tuned!
His album Indigo is just a masterpiece. He has a collab with Anderson Paak in it, it's called Still Life, yall should do this one next. He also has a collab with Erikah Badu in it, "Yun".
RM stands for Rap Monster however that was the stage name he used when he was younger. Now as he evolved, matured, he goes by RM, which can has a new meaning, Real Me. RM is a genius, poet and credited with most of the songs that he has written for their group... it's no imagination that he probably has 300 written songs credited under his name. RM is also the leader of the group, originally started as an underground rapper who was the first member to be casted. He is the only fluent english speaking member from the group and I think his intelligence, guidance and vision has helped BTS be as successful as they are today. He's just a genius... such a vibe! Beautiful, interesting and humble soul.
Introspection. expect it from each member of BTS. RM is very very well versed when it comes to making analogies to express emotions through lyrics
He is my faveee , no one is better!! you can check all his solo work and never be disappointed
RM's album Indigo is his reflection of his youth, his twenties and the ending of that era for him. He is a poetic genius and the reason some of the other members joined BTS
This whole album INDIGO is a masterpiece. & ofcourse man a lyrical genius❤
When Namjoon (RM) was in 5th grade, he wrote a poem called The Korean Tiger and Reunification. Even at this age, we see his use of metaphors to express his ruminations.
Gentlemen thank you for giving the BTS members a try. You have become my favorite reactors. I am enjoying your fall down into the BTS rabbit hole. I am loving your calm and mature discussions on how the members’ music make you feel. Please continue to explore each member and then the group as a whole. There is so much amazing and varied content for you to experience. I’m definitely along for that ride.
@kathryncrowley9879 Heyyy, We're so honored to hear that! So glad we can bring you enjoyment and hopefully put a smile on your face :)
Can't wait to bring you more reactions! We're getting around to all the suggestions and we've got the third Agust D installment coming SATURDAY-- stay tuned!
i just love namjoon so much, i get happy when people appreciate him right
now it would be very cool to see the 3 rappers together. Please do Outro tear live from Wembley. Subs are included . This is an epic performance an you can see the synergy these three guys can create on stage. They are all fantastic on their own, but together? unbelievable...this is also true for the whole BTS. I am so glad you are exploring more. Looking forward to the next one

Great! Will have to check that one out :) Thank you!
Wild Flower is absolutely at the top of my personal list of BTS solo songs and that’s a tough list. It gives me goosebumps each time.
My favorite from his Indigo album! 💙 He's brilliant and I love her Rock Ballad voice.
RM is a fucking genius, his lyricism is so perfect and accurate like it makes me wonder how is he this talented? Both RM and suga are the best when it comes to lyrics in the kpop industry, nobody even comes close to them and every single member is so versatile, BTS are not a typical boyband or typical kpop band, they're very unique and have their own color that's the main reason why they're loved by many and have the biggest Fandom in the world , love your reactions! I can see how genuine you guys are.
Namjoon (RM) Our fearless leader. He's the leader of BTS and an ACTUAL poet. All off his lyrics always hit you in the feels. Every member of BTS is so diverse so their solo music is incredibly diverse as well.
I would highly suggest the introduction to bts by Taylor to learn more about them. All there albums, soloor a group are no skips. I am 53 and grew up on rock and metal, but BTS is my favorite group.
Yes, RM = Rap Monster was the original meaning. He later changed it to Real Me to reflect his growth as a person and his image of self as he grew. His personal music studio is still called Mon Studio, reflecting his earlier stage name. He is one of the main songwriters and producers in BTS and you can see his genius lyricism throughout their discography. Professionally he just goes by RM. His real name is Kim Namjoon. ARMY refer to him as RM, Namjoon, Joonie or Joon.
RM’ s lyrics is always a masterpiece
RM's lyricsm is *chef's kiss! he's smart and his play on words is so good
Thanks for sharing your genuine thoughts💜🙏🇺🇸. ARMY(fans) Stan BTS because of their lyrics, then their personalities. They’re so humble and nice gentlemen.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Loved your genuine response to the song. I appreciate the honesty and sincerity! Each song on "Mono" and "Indigo" means so much to me! I hope you get to experience the amazing artist that Kim Namjoon (RM) is! I will be looking forward to many more BTS and solo song reactions, particularly RM! Subscribed!💜
Thank you so much! We're new so we appreciate the reassurance from you :)
Suga said : you will like our music if you listen without prejudice ❤
Yay! Thanks for reacting to this song! Wild Flower is so beatiful, it aways makes me cry 🥲💜
We loved it :)
The thing about BTS is when they write, it’s coming from within, so sincere and authentic. Like, not pretending like a lot of American celebrities do. If you ever end up watching their old lives with army, RM for example, he talks to us like we are no less than he is. We gain a lot of comfort from the lyrics and because of who they are, we do not feel betrayed since it’s really their story/sentiment. Not that they don’t have fun songs, because they have such bangers. Don’t be fooled by bangers, there is still a meaning and message if you pay attention what they’re really saying in the lyrics. RM’s mixtape RM (2015), Mono. (2018), and his latest Indigo (released 12/2/2022). All three very different. They’re like different eras in his life. SO good.
their discography is composed of 200+ songs and counting (with a lot of solo work coming out), and in every genre. but honestly, i love almost all of them. ask an army and they struggle to come up with a top ten.😂 also, you'll notice with every song review of theirs, more than a handful will tell you, "that's my favorite song" or "that's the song that saved me." their songs resonate with so many of us. that's why they are so loved by many. oh and, not to mention, they are gems as human beings.
enjoy the rabbit hole. there is a lot to discover.
RM are one the best lyricist in history..Indigo are masterpieces of pure art.. all kings by themselves all together are just legends! Thank for you thoughts and reactions love it can’t wait for the next to our 7 Precious Kings 💜💜💜💜💜
Definitely check out Mono and Indigo by RM, his other singles too, not necessarily react to all if y'all can't but as far as his music and art is considered, it's phenomenal!
I am your new fans guys..thanks for your reactions about the boys...we love all 7 of them...keep digging the rabbit holes with us...Borahae...💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Love the song and he is an amazing singer, poet, writer and everything in between. ❤😊
8:45 exactly, prejudice prevents discovering new awesome things. Btw Beatles were also labelled boyband at the beginning, and articles wrote that they are aweful and only "hysterical girls" is their audience.
That's very interesting-- thank you for sharing :)
It is so nice to see people appreciate BTS, and specifically today RM, the way they/he should be appreciated. There will undoubtedly be songs you like more and less along the journey of discovering BTS group and individual member songs, but that's normal. People have different tastes. What is amazing about BTS is that they have experimented with so many different genres that pretty much anyone can find something they like....or love.
Love that you said the song was like poetry. RM wanted to be a poet growing up that’s how he got into rap.
I do love that BTS has been able to do some solo work while still performing as a group. I think that fans being used to that and supporting solo projects, even seeing them supporting each other, makes the music even better. We don’t see solo songs as threats to the group. That said,the rap and vocals on this is beautiful.
That’s the Magnum Opus of RM ‘The President’. He is the founding member of BTS. Their BigHit CEO Mr Bang PD was so impressed by him, that he signed RM immediately and formed BTS around him.
Wild Flower disturbs yet comforts. Everyone goes through shit but there's RM to hold your hand
if you liked this song now, it would hit so much harder if you knew their back story. This song destroyed me when it came out. I can't even put it on repeat because it pulls at my heart strings. Namjoon (RM) is the leader for good reason. Army calls him our President, because honestly, if this man becomes the president of the world, our world will be in a good place. 💜
Rm has many different styles just like all 3 rappers. Rm's lyrics are my favorite because he is a poet. I love his hard hitting songs like "joke" all the way to his softer things from his new album. I love all 3 guys stuff
Thank you for reacting to RM his lyrics are beautiful and deep he is a genius his IQ is 148 that's why it's easy for him to write, these songs are so deep Army love our precious leader
Good for you guys for having an open mind. BTS and their astonishingly talented members is not like any other group ever. I've been a music fan for more decades than I like to admit and BTS are built different. RM is my bias for a reason - his leadership has been integral to who they are as a group in a "creative director" kind of way. They get a lot of hype now, but they are still worth MORE than that.
Rm wearing white is not the same as a bunch of rappers wearing white. RM reflects intelligent thought and poetic verses. Highly philosophical
RM is a genuis and truly has a way with words. Wildflower is so beautiful. RM is actually the leader of bts btw (but like you were mentioning in the video, you can't view that from a westerner lense. he's not the "jt" of the group or tries to be the "main" dude. He's a true leader and the other guys have a huge amount of respect for him).
I want to mention that bts and the members solo do do pop at times too. They have music for everyone. But just wanted to let you know.
All seven members of bts are still together. There debut as a group was in 2013. They're taking a break until 2025/26 because in South Korea, all able-bodied men have to serve mandatory military service. Im sure others have mentioned it, but I think you'd like watching the guide to the 7 members of bts by Taylor. Its really informative.
when I say bts are underrated, I mean it with my whole heart coz only bts fan knows the magnitude and authenticity of their talent. Most of the general audience is still unaware of their sheer artistry nd musicality....they are ended up being pushed away thinking to be xyz popular. Of course, they r superstars! but they aren't famous the way people think them to be, You won't find an artist who gets sooo much respect and love from their fans... it is just rare nowadays.
Please check out more of bts work, u will be amazed to see RM's lyrical prowess, Agustd's intense storytelling/compositions and Jhope's quirkiness and diverse work.
Thank you! I love this song and RM never ceases to impress💜💜💜
Thank you for reacting to this song, it’s one of my favorite songs off this album (Indigo) by RM. He’s known for his poetic lyrics. I would suggest you watch A Guide to BTS by Taylor to get to know all 7 boys and their music. Looking forward to more reactions!
His whole album is amazing, it's the best album ever his talent is unmatchable 🔥🔥🔥🔥 please react to still life ,closer , lonely
Wildflower is a masterpiece and RM is a poet. I look forward to your BTS journey as you get to know all of the boys and their individual styles as well as BTS as a whole. BTS put their authentic selves into their music, and that's why they've touched the lives of so many people across all ages and locations.
RM said that BTS are like fireworks and that he as an individual is a flower work and that he is both RM the leader of BTS and RM aka Kim Namjoon. BTS is a group who loves and respects each other more than their own families. Every single member brings something different, special and important to the group such that BTS would not be BTS without all 7 of them. When you start listening to BTS do not start with Dynamite, Butter or PTD. While those are important songs and have their rightful place in BTS’ history, they were not planned like their vast catalogue , which was released in distinct chapters based on their growth as as a group, with a fictitious storyline running throughout. I recommend starting with songs like Spring Day, I Need You, Begin, Epiphany, Euphoria, Paradise, 134340, 2!3!, Idol, Magic Shop, Don’t Leave Me and so many more. I don’t think you’ll ever find a song you don’t like. I really don’t.💜
