So I had to censor a certain word, apparently saying it 3 times will get a warning put on your video. So I had to bleep it out twice for the video to not get marked for sensitive content. Thank you all for watching!
Jesus that's absolutely ridiculous... Censoring covid?? That's literally the biggest thing happening in the world right now that affects everything and everyone. Completely absurd.
We older ARMYS are noonas or "golden Army", as Namjoon call us. I will be 63 in April. Your aunt's song choices work for me. Especially ON: KINETIC MANIFESTO. Their dancing in that video makes my heart soar. Sorry we won't see it here. There are a lot of us older ARMYs. I belong to two groups of older ARMYs and we number in the thousands.
I agree about the numbers increasing. I’m 77. I have been so happy to have BTS in my life. As many have said they have helped me through some very difficult times. It is fun to have an older family member join a reaction and hear their stories too! 💜
@ destructive media, that is so cool that you had your aunt on there and she’s a silver ARMY, Noona ARMY! I’ve definitely found BTS on CZcams 8 1/2 years ago their debut song” No More Dream”! I was just so impressed by them so my journey with them has been a little bit longer and I have to go up against a family member and he is my son who doesn’t understand why I like BTS and he has all these misconceptions about BTS no matter how hard I try to explain to him why I’m so interested in them and what their music & lyrics do to help me personally! yes I’m old enough to be their mom but I definitely love every one of those members of BTS because they bring positivity they bring happiness they show that they’re not afraid to tackle social issues!! Thanks for this reaction and you are a fellow Laura and ARMY and I am so happy that you are helping along with your nephew’s Journey into BTS! 💜 I Purple U💜
I am 59 and absolutely love them. Have to thank my 17 year old daughter for introducing them to me. I have been listening to them for the past year and a half. Army at heart 💜. Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴. I really enjoy your reactions and love your aunt.
I love your aunt she's a true Noona, I am also an "older" fan I can totally relate with her. Mic Drop was my first intro to BTS too. Love your reactions/point of view. Fighting!
if you want to see more RM'S solo's i recommend "reflection", " persona","forever rain","moon child","bicycle". They are my all time RM'S fav solo works
I am so impressed with your Aunt. I also appreciate the effort you put in for the reaction. Lol, her response to what songs do you recommend was classic Army 😁😁 'Ask an army what their favorite bts songs are and watch their brain stop working' 😂😂Thank you. This was a really fun and exciting reaction to watch 💜💜💜💜
Yay for Aunt Laura. I am 74 and a new ARMY. Love their message and rabbit hole. Brought light into my life. Thanks for you interest and tolerance to the best group!
I was introduced by my niece to BTS almost 2 yrs. ago, and I'm one of their biggest fans now. I have a calendar, cup, and I just spent $117 for pajamas designed by my bias, Jin, so I guess I'm all in. I love all of their music, and I love the messages of positivity. I agree with your aunt about her choices, especially "Black Swan", but I would also include "Dionysis", the 2019 MMA performance. During the holidays, my nephew came to visit me, and he was sharing some of his music with me, so I introduced him to BTS. He said that he probably would never would have been exposed to them if I hadn't shared, and he liked them more than he thought he would. Love all of your reactions, but I had to comment on this one.
There is no age limit in becoming a BTS fan! Salute to your aunt! I am 51 years old but I scream together with the 16 & 18 year olds when a BTS performance is on :) Such energy when those kids perform, they are all out!
Rooting for the underdog is so satisfying when they succeed against the odds, isn't it? They're so far above other groups in Korea right now, in terms of awards or sales. Do you think they're still the underdog in the US music scene? I mean, I know they've snatched awards too over there, and of course they are now a regular on the Billboard charts, as a group and as solo artists. But they've only won one US Daesang so far (last AMA's Artist of the Year) and no Grammy yet. I wonder how much higher they will rise. Will they top "Butter"? Will they win other Daesangs in the future? Will they break more records? I can't wait for their next comeback.
Most of us Army gravitated to BTS because of something that has knocked us down in life but BTS picks you up and you don’t feel alone ....they make you feel like a part of a family....and they are mind boggling talented💜💜
Aw I adore your aunt!! Noona! Please bring her back more often as a guest it that's possible. She's fantastic. I'm certainly not young, I just turned 40 and I found them 2 years ago, and they really gave me the strength to get through one of the hardest times in my life, my depression was extreme. I hope anyone who is reading this who is having a hard time coping with their mental health realizes that they have value and their life is priceless. The world is a better place with you in it. Even though it might seem hopeless now, it's not going to always be that way...you have a future.
@@DestructiveMediaYT I really like the BTS reactions with your aunt, because you have your genuine reaction and your questions are answered right away by her.
Definitely could, but there is delay with video chat. We live close by eachother, she's just busy and so am I. I'm hoping we can work out more times to record together.
Another noona (more like an ahjumma) ... 54 years old, from Germany and have been a casual listener since DOPE but have become a fan since Blood, Sweat & Tears. Hi to your Aunt!!! We do not push ... just let yourself be pulled into the rabbit hole :D Lyrically ALL songs are great, esp as they are usually inspired by quotes or books the guys have read (esp. RM) but also the emotions, struggles and mental health issues they went through or still going through.
I enjoyed this reaction with Noona Laura (and your other reaction videos) 😊 Only a true ARMY will have a special connection with BTS songs and how they have had a significant effect in our lives. Thank you for sharing that with us. 💜 For vocal line songs, I’d recommend: Jin - Awake (lyric video); Epiphany (mv) Jimin - Lie (lyric vid); Serendipity (mv) V - Stigma (lyric vid); Singularity (mv) JK - Begin (lyric vid); Euphoria (mv) All 4 (lyric vid) - House of Cards; Lost; The Truth Untold
Mic Drop was my first BTS song!!! It holds a special place in my heart. And it is true, BTS finds you when you need them. I discovered them 1 month before New Zealand went into our first lock down in February 2020. I think that discovering them and deep diving into them helped me keep my mind busy from concentrating on anxiety and the uncertainty of covid. They strengthened my self esteem when I was feeling down and helped me build myself up and reminded me to feed my spirit.
I looove her! That was so wholesome 💜💜💜 It warmed my heart so much to see her explain how she became invested in the boys. All of the love and good wishes to you Laura! Thank you for sharing with us! 25 yo ARMY from Canada.
Wow! Your aunt Noona is so cool!💜💜💜thank you Noona, for educating me on spoon class concept and although I already love mic Drop, your reaction video made me see Mic Drop in a whole new way! I am a 58 year old army from Canada 🇨🇦 and I am still learning more about these wonderful boys everyday ! Thanks for joining us aunt Laura/Noona and I love this reaction - I am now a subscriber 👍💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Laughing so hard hearing your aunt talk about about weverse shipping prices, they are truly an experince 😂. I just bought the J-Hope plant pot set and the shipping on global cost more then the item almost.
It’s amazing seeing your Aunty react and show her passion for BTS. I read the age group statistics of BTS fans globally and till this day, it still amazes me that a decent portion is adults all the way through to seniors. Like it’s not skewed to teenagers at all, and your Aunty is living fact of that. It’s amazing what BTS is accomplishing. Truly mind blowing. Love from Australia mate.
I love your aunt Laura in your reaction video. I am an older ARMY myself. I appreciate your lyric deep dives. So many times BTS lyrics get passed over but I am so happy you are addressing it. RM is a genius lyricist. He writes almost 80% of all BTS music lyrics. RM has a playlist on Soundcloud called Mono. I don't know how much of his lyrics can translate into English well but his lyrics in Korean are really deep but has lots of word play that's hard to translate. I am happy to discover your channel. I just added you on my subscription. A happy trip down to the BTS rabbit hole!
Wooah!! good to see you here Laura! I am part of BTS Noona's group in FB from Melbourne Australia:) Mic drop is one of my fave's too and I agree ON: kinetic maifesto is another one. I love the cheorograpy in ON
FINALLY! I knew you'd enjoy this song if only because of its lyrics! It's also a bit of an earworm. I'd love to see you do some lyric break downs with your Aunt. I always felt like the explosions in this video were all about BTS just blowing things up left and right, and the people falling from the sky after the explosions is a humorous little detail. I'm loving this journey you're on! Thanks for letting us watch you learn about this amazing group of hard-working young men with a great message from South Korea! You might also enjoy American Hustle Life. It may be a good thing to offer to Patreon to get more support. The band was sent to the US to learn about hip hop from some of the greatest. The first episode made me extremely angry, but after that, it was amazing to see these awesome guys adapt to adversity in a country where only one of them could speak English fluently. Thank you for what you're doing here. I'm so proud to support you!
I know it has been suggested before but I *highly highly recommend watching the MMA 2019* live performance (TV award show) they did. They perform 5 different songs in very different genres - the last one being Dionysus which I think you would really enjoy musically. I think Dionysus is the closest to a rock/metal vibe apart from Fake Love Rock Remix which also features distinctive real electric guitars in the instrumental. (The live concert versions of Dionysus and Fake Love Rock Remix are insane btw when the bass and guitar booms across the stadium) I fell in love with BTS because of their outstanding live performances and DVD concert footage. Their live vocals add such a raw emotion to their songs and they often use "concert mixes" live with real instruments which gives us ARMY something exciting and new every time they perform. Also ARMY is the 8th member of BTS. I have no idea if you have heard the term "fan chants" yet or have any idea what "ARMY Bombs" are but if you are curious this is a Mic Drop performance at their concert I watch when I need energy or feel a little bit lost. This is what you see when you attend a concert and it gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. ARMY recorded from their seat (this is not official DVD concert footage) I think *Laura* would love watching this MIC DROP recording to gain strengh - just know that ARMY are a family. We are by your side to give you support as much as BTS are. Just search this on CZcams, it has over 3 million views: "방탄소년단 BTS Speak Yourself Tour Final In Seoul - Mic Drop (2019.10.27)" I have never seen them live even though I have been an ARMY since 2014, but I own or have watched every single concert DVD and their ability to excite you so much and touch you so deeply through a monitor that you almost feel you are actually at the concert is insane. Not many artists can translate this kind of energy through a recording but BTS were born to be on stage.
Hey fellow Mid-westerners! We're from Rochester and Wauwatosa :) I always love watching people watch Mic Drop for the first time. I think it will go down as one of the all-time greats. And that's coming from a big Green Day/Pink Floyd fan, so go figure. Love your deep reactions. Keep it up 💜
Bighit were genius with marketing BTS. They recorded everything from even before BTS debuted. There is so much content from them. I hope you watch it all. These guys are the best in the world for a reason. Great reaction!
I love that you have your Aunt helping you learn about the boys and their music! I’m older Army I resonate with her on how BTS came to me!! My oldest son is 4 days older than J Hope and my youngest is between JungKook and V and Jimin! I’ve been army 2018 and wish I had found a lot earlier!! They are 7 amazing young men and I love all their music!! Mic Drop along with On , Black Swan are a few of my top favorites. You need to hear Born Singer !! That is another aimed at their haters. And it’s actually a remake of a rappers song Birn Sinner. I think it’s J Cole!
Love your honest reaction and your aunt is lovely. Our 19 yr old son introduced us to BTS a yr ago. Hubby and me love the boys to bits, so far we bought 4 albums and watched all their online concerts. Thanks for giving them a chance. Borahae💜💜💜
Please tell your aunt that i love her. I'm 42 years old mom and i love bts so much. I'm not sure if i'm the one who found them or they who had found me. They really help me through the whole pandemic situation. And now i'm happy that i got stuck in this rabbit whole. Bts are absolutelly the best ever.
I guess I am a BTS Noona too! All of BTS could be my kids ~ my daughter will be 21 soon. New subscriber here… I love that your Aunt Laura was in this video. I was introduced to BTS in 2020 by my daughter. She had been a fan since about 2016 or so. I fell HARD fur these guys. They are just so awesome! I even flew from the Midwest out to LA last Dec to see them in concert ~ which would have been the furthest thing from my mind 2 years ago. I wish I had become a fan earlier, but it is fun to watch others become ARMY as they watch BTS videos. Some suggestions for BTS to watch (if you haven’t yet) are: Blood Sweat & Tears, Dope, Fire, Danger, Boy with Luv ft. Halsey, Idol, Anpanman, DNA, Fake Love, War of Hormone, and Boy in Luv. All are great ~ enjoy! ☺️💜
Everybody's family is messed up to a degree! Whenever I am having to deal with someone that has caused me grief, I listen to "I Wouldn't Wanna Be Like You" by Alan Parsons Project and "I Don't Care Anymore" by Phil Collins. LOL I am an older Army member, like your Aunt and I am the only person (in my life) that has any interest in BTS, but thankfully everyone in my life is very supportive and understanding about it. And it's true, you find BTS (or they find you) when you need them most. For me it was near the beginning of the pandemic.
Loved meeting Aunt Laura!! I am a woman of a particular age and I also love BTS!! I need to work on my merch game tho....Walmartcom here I come🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🥰💜💜💜
UGH!! I'm so late watching 😫 Their ON performance, in Grand Central Station, on Jimmy Fallon pushed me down the rabbit hole. They have several ON performances/videos that are amazing. When Suga had surgery and they performed ON, at the end they left a space where Suga would've been. They are so freakin' aware and thoughtful of each other. The most humble and loving young men. Thank you Destructive Media for giving them a chance and having an open mind. We Purple You💜
Awwww so great you had your aunt in this video 🥰 I hope we get to see more of her!!! She picked a great song and I'm so excited to see what you react to next 💜💜
this is totally unrelated, but aunt laura is so PRETTYYY!!! and i love the way her voice sounds when she speaks 🥺🥺 she's so eloquent and cool oh my god i wanna be as cool as her when i'm her age
On Weverse The boys usually post in Korean and fans leave messages in many languages but there is a translate button that gives you a fairly close translation. And ARMY usually post good, accurate translations of the boys’ comments.
I loved this reaction! Shout out to your aunt from a fellow bts Noona! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 One thing I find very interesting, that seems to come up a lot with the Mic Drop reactions, is that many people are unfamiliar with the Spoon Class Theory, which funny enough is actually a western theory. My conclusion is that it's a generational knowledge thing (which just saying that makes me feel old, lol), especially since that term really isn't used often these days. I'm not sure if anyone else around my age can concur, but me being 42, I grew up knowing what that analogy meant. We even had a TV show when I was growing up that I'm sure you a lot of you might remember, called Silver Spoons. Anyhow, just found this very interesting, especially after having seeing a lot of reactors not only look it up, but also conclude that it was a Korean specific analogy. Anyone else out there around my age, or any age that is familiar with this theory? Just interested to know.
Yes, I was waiting for "mic drop" and it was definitely worth it! I knew you were gonna like this one. Your aunt is super nice and has a very good taste. "ON" is an amazing one to react, for sure. Can't wait!
Hello Noona...... Great to know that ur Aunt is an ARMY, She's cool & nice much love& thank u for taking ur precious time & getting to know more abt BTS & their Discography they are Amazing they are more than an Artists its their Personality,their nature, their humble & down to earth nature & their vulnerability that makes them so special not forgetting their immense talent .... They are the same humble & down to earth filled with passion who debuted 8 years ago irrespective of their name & fame TODAY!!!! Huge respect
I absolutely loved seeing aunt Laura in your video!! She was able to give such good background info for mic drop live for you too which was great instead of you having to wait for our comments about the background after the vids done. Loved this! Also idk if you’re interest in their choreo side of things but if you are, you HAVE to see their mic drop dance practice with the dance break. Shows that their talents really have no limits ALSO lol, (im commenting as i finish the video) a really moving song that has all 7 of them is called Magic Shop. Even their live versoin is so good and has subtitles as well. Its a beautiful song
Love this! Your aunt is cool and I'm older as well. Got into BTS because I was drawn by their humor then their dance...lastly I did a dive into their music and lyrics (esp by Suga solo mixtapes) did me in...they are a happy pill for me!! Hoping this will make your relationship with your aunt even stronger!
This was such a wholesome video!! Thank you and your aunt for this reaction, I love how your aunt was able to give context to certain things too, very cool to see 🥰🥰
Comment two! BTS can be as much or as little to you as you want. They have provided SO MANY hours of content in the last 8+ years. (there are some things available pre-debut..debut fyi is 6/13/13) It's very hard for ARMY who love them so much to not just dogpile on people looking into them. One of the biggest joys of ARMY is sharing our love of these 7 men, in all forms that takes. They are amazing musicians/producers/dancers/entertainers/comedians/models/PEOPLE. So Laura showed great restraint! I commend her. 😆
I belong to a group of older fans we are the silver army! I am 59 and my first video I saw was Idol. But it wasn’t the song to grab my attention but RM. I went and watched his solo videos, which led me to Agust D and Jhopes Hope world. I than started listening to the rest of BTS. I watched the videos in order of their release. Than I listened to the albums in order. But the song that locked me into that rabbit hole was epiphany. It was the song that moved me and clicked into what I needed at that moment. And to put out what I listened to before classic country or classic rock and oldies and soft rock. I HATED rap before listening to these guys. They opened my eyes to accepting more than what I knew. Love this trip I am taking with them!
Your aunt is not crazy, I’m in my 40’s and have their pictures in my walk in closet with quotes from them to help boost my self esteem when I’m getting ready to face the day. I have also have Dolly Parton and my son’s picture. They inspire me and boost my self esteem. Anyone that can help me like that will have a place in my closet too😊
I looooooove your aunt!!! She is so cute and represents us by your side 😃 I hope she can be with you again because can give you some explanations in real time the way we will love to do! Oh! When will we play again???? (Finding words) I'm sure I'm not the only one missing the game 😆...
We love Army noona! She is so awesome! I really wanna see you both watch and go on deep dive with Spring Day. Watch the mv, lyrics video, italian army explanation video. It would be so amazing to see you both talk about it and bring your own perspectives. Thank you both for such an amazing video! 💜
BTS will found u ..that line really hit me hard ..I was in bad vase in my life surrounded by haters and some how I fell in the rabbit hole..really They made me happy and changed me inside
Man, your aunt is so cool 😍And I really enjoyed your reaction! If you want to see more of the whole group, I would recommend you ON (Kinetic Manifesto) and Dionysus (MMA 2019). Other than that, since BTS is also known for their 'music for healing' I'd suggest you to check out songs like Blue & Grey, The Truth Untold and Magic Shop (live versions with subtitles are really cool), so you can better understand why their lyrics are so important for many people (even if it's probably not your type of music).😅 And finally, of course, the queen, Spring Day (plus an explanation video by the italian army, it's a bit long but it explains well the most popular interpretation of the lyrics and the MV). Thanks for your work and as always, can't wait your next reaction! Take care, I Purple you! 💜💜💜
I actually think you’d enjoy doing an ALBUM review, either Love Yourself: TEAR, or Map of the Soul 7. You’d get to hear a range of songs developed around a theme (rapline, vocal line, and solo songs) and get to know their repertoire and versatility in terms of genres (upbeat, satirical, soulful) while diving into the lyrics as well. Superb songwriting by the members, plus very high production qualities from the team at BigHit Music.
need the perfect song at the right moment in your life…Love yourself is my one song then UN speech after that made me realize they are different, what my daughter was telling me since 2018 was true now I’m an Army mom and supportive of ALL of them I feel them as my own kids…no bias bc is like making me choose between my kids…each one of them are unique!!!!
I really like your Aunt Laura. I'm a Noona too. I have a daughter JK's age. BTS's discography has really resonated with me and helped me go through some tough things this past year. I hope your Aunt comes on again. I look forward to going to my first BTS concert some day.
That's the thing with almost all of us armys Or atleast me, bts's was like a friend, a mentor and all things good who helped me when I was lost. Found them when I was at my worst. Love your reaction always and can I say ur aunt is very pretty.
Hi Aunt Laura! I’m also Laura and I’m also a noona army so have to say hi 👋. BTS is so amazing as everyone knows now. Please also get into the vocal line. Their vocals are so amazing! Empowering, inspiring and life-affirming. There are so MANY great songs hahaha!
As an older international ARMY I feel you on the expensive shipping fees. But I live in Canada so I buy from international Weverse. Other than shipping you'll have to be in time to catch merchandise before it gets sold out in literally minutes!
Awwww! I love Laura! She seems so kind and genuine! 💜💜💜 Thank you for sharing your experience with BTS and for being the representation of BTS' ability to transcend all barriers! It was very nice to meet you! 💜💜💜 I hope we'll be able to see her again in the next BTS videos to come!
So I had to censor a certain word, apparently saying it 3 times will get a warning put on your video. So I had to bleep it out twice for the video to not get marked for sensitive content. Thank you all for watching!
What was the word?
Starts with C, all over the world right now unfortunately.
@@DestructiveMediaYT Wow CZcams censors COVID? That makes no sense, why would they do that? God I hate CZcams nowadays...
I mean you can, but they put a cdc warning on if you say it too much.
Jesus that's absolutely ridiculous... Censoring covid?? That's literally the biggest thing happening in the world right now that affects everything and everyone. Completely absurd.

your aunt is so sweet and this reaction was everything. glad she had this song and bts to help her get through tough times.
@ destructive media, that is so cool that you had your aunt on there and she’s a silver ARMY, Noona ARMY! I’ve definitely found BTS on CZcams 8 1/2 years ago their debut song” No More Dream”! I was just so impressed by them so my journey with them has been a little bit longer and I have to go up against a family member and he is my son who doesn’t understand why I like BTS and he has all these misconceptions about BTS no matter how hard I try to explain to him why I’m so interested in them and what their music & lyrics do to help me personally! yes I’m old enough to be their mom but I definitely love every one of those members of BTS because they bring positivity they bring happiness they show that they’re not afraid to tackle social issues!!

ARMY Noona you rock! Keep “shoving him in….”
I was introduced by my niece to BTS almost 2 yrs. ago, and I'm one of their biggest fans now. I have a calendar, cup, and I just spent $117 for pajamas designed by my bias, Jin, so I guess I'm all in. I love all of their music, and I love the messages of positivity. I agree with your aunt about her choices, especially "Black Swan", but I would also include "Dionysis", the 2019 MMA performance.
During the holidays, my nephew came to visit me, and he was sharing some of his music with me, so I introduced him to BTS. He said that he probably would never would have been exposed to them if I hadn't shared, and he liked them more than he thought he would. Love all of your reactions, but I had to comment on this one.
You should watch the 2019 MMA performance with your Aunt it is legendary.
There is no age limit in becoming a BTS fan! Salute to your aunt! I am 51 years old but I scream together with the 16 & 18 year olds when a BTS performance is on :) Such energy when those kids perform, they are all out!
Tell Aunt Laura she’s the real Goat and we so appreciate her! Her 4 song choices are perfect. This is such an iconic song.
LOVE your aunt!! I'm a 57 yr old Army mom!! My 18 yr old twins introduced me! They are so amazing!
I'm 62 from Texas. I found kpop in 2010, and when BTS debuted, I was intrigued. I fell into the rabbit hole, and almost 9 years later I'm still here.
Rooting for the underdog is so satisfying when they succeed against the odds, isn't it? They're so far above other groups in Korea right now, in terms of awards or sales.
Do you think they're still the underdog in the US music scene? I mean, I know they've snatched awards too over there, and of course they are now a regular on the Billboard charts, as a group and as solo artists. But they've only won one US Daesang so far (last AMA's Artist of the Year) and no Grammy yet.
I wonder how much higher they will rise. Will they top "Butter"? Will they win other Daesangs in the future? Will they break more records? I can't wait for their next comeback.
Love your Aunt Laura already…regards from a golden army here…67 yrs.👏👏

You're aunt is amazing and relatable. BTS really helps many of us cope.
Army-ahjumma/noona in Sweden here. Hi! Fun to see you together like this. 🤩
I'm 59 year old Noona's army, my son got me into BTS on Jimmy Fallon Show September 25, 2018.
Aw I adore your aunt!! Noona! Please bring her back more often as a guest it that's possible. She's fantastic. I'm certainly not young, I just turned 40 and I found them 2 years ago, and they really gave me the strength to get through one of the hardest times in my life, my depression was extreme. I hope anyone who is reading this who is having a hard time coping with their mental health realizes that they have value and their life is priceless. The world is a better place with you in it. Even though it might seem hopeless now, it's not going to always be that way...you have a future.
This was great 😊. Laura and you make a great team 💜
Thank you! We had tons of fun doing this, I hope she comes back for more videos.
@@DestructiveMediaYT I really like the BTS reactions with your aunt, because you have your genuine reaction and your questions are answered right away by her.

Definitely could, but there is delay with video chat. We live close by eachother, she's just busy and so am I. I'm hoping we can work out more times to record together.

HEY LAURA - YOU ARE NOT JUST "GOOD ENOUGH" - YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!! MUCH LOVE FROM A FELLOW NOONA ARMY IN AUSTRALIA 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Another noona (more like an ahjumma) ... 54 years old, from Germany and have been a casual listener since DOPE but have become a fan since Blood, Sweat & Tears. Hi to your Aunt!!!
We do not push ... just let yourself be pulled into the rabbit hole :D
Lyrically ALL songs are great, esp as they are usually inspired by quotes or books the guys have read (esp. RM) but also the emotions, struggles and mental health issues they went through or still going through.
I'm calling it, her bias is Jhope too!
This was so good to watch, thank you!
I enjoyed this reaction with Noona Laura (and your other reaction videos) 😊 Only a true ARMY will have a special connection with BTS songs and how they have had a significant effect in our lives. Thank you for sharing that with us. 💜
For vocal line songs, I’d recommend:
Jin - Awake (lyric video); Epiphany (mv)
Jimin - Lie (lyric vid); Serendipity (mv)
V - Stigma (lyric vid); Singularity (mv)
JK - Begin (lyric vid); Euphoria (mv)
All 4 (lyric vid) - House of Cards; Lost; The Truth Untold
I’m a BTS noona myself! Love them so much! They became such great inspiration to our household! Great reaction! Looking forward to more!!!
Mic Drop was my first BTS song!!! It holds a special place in my heart. And it is true, BTS finds you when you need them. I discovered them 1 month before New Zealand went into our first lock down in February 2020. I think that discovering them and deep diving into them helped me keep my mind busy from concentrating on anxiety and the uncertainty of covid. They strengthened my self esteem when I was feeling down and helped me build myself up and reminded me to feed my spirit.
your aunt is so cool!! i wish i can have a family member like her! i really like this reaction:)
I looove her! That was so wholesome 💜💜💜 It warmed my heart so much to see her explain how she became invested in the boys. All of the love and good wishes to you Laura!
Thank you for sharing with us!
25 yo ARMY from Canada.
Wow! Your aunt Noona is so cool!💜💜💜thank you Noona, for educating me on spoon class concept and although I already love mic Drop, your reaction video made me see Mic Drop in a whole new way! I am a 58 year old army from Canada 🇨🇦 and I am still learning more about these wonderful boys everyday ! Thanks for joining us aunt Laura/Noona and I love this reaction - I am now a subscriber 👍💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Laughing so hard hearing your aunt talk about about weverse shipping prices, they are truly an experince 😂. I just bought the J-Hope plant pot set and the shipping on global cost more then the item almost.
It’s amazing seeing your Aunty react and show her passion for BTS.
I read the age group statistics of BTS fans globally and till this day, it still amazes me that a decent portion is adults all the way through to seniors. Like it’s not skewed to teenagers at all, and your Aunty is living fact of that. It’s amazing what BTS is accomplishing. Truly mind blowing.
Love from Australia mate.
I love your aunt Laura in your reaction video. I am an older ARMY myself. I appreciate your lyric deep dives. So many times BTS lyrics get passed over but I am so happy you are addressing it. RM is a genius lyricist. He writes almost 80% of all BTS music lyrics. RM has a playlist on Soundcloud called Mono. I don't know how much of his lyrics can translate into English well but his lyrics in Korean are really deep but has lots of word play that's hard to translate. I am happy to discover your channel. I just added you on my subscription. A happy trip down to the BTS rabbit hole!
Thank you for subscribing!
louder than bombs, bulletproof eternal. my faves!!! ON is a must see too
Shadow is definitely a good recommandation for Suga...it's so underrated but so good
This was a fun video reaction. You should invite your aunt again! Your aunt's input was refreshing and helpful for you I hope. 🙂
Aunt Laura knows BTS so well 🥺💜
Wooah!! good to see you here Laura! I am part of BTS Noona's group in FB from Melbourne Australia:) Mic drop is one of my fave's too and I agree ON: kinetic maifesto is another one. I love the cheorograpy in ON
I really enjoyed your reaction and love your Aunt. I too am a Golden Army and BTS has changed my life because of who they are.
As a Mom and older Army myself this is cool that u get your aunt in the video with you. More of this💜
FINALLY! I knew you'd enjoy this song if only because of its lyrics! It's also a bit of an earworm. I'd love to see you do some lyric break downs with your Aunt.
I always felt like the explosions in this video were all about BTS just blowing things up left and right, and the people falling from the sky after the explosions is a humorous little detail. I'm loving this journey you're on! Thanks for letting us watch you learn about this amazing group of hard-working young men with a great message from South Korea!
You might also enjoy American Hustle Life. It may be a good thing to offer to Patreon to get more support. The band was sent to the US to learn about hip hop from some of the greatest. The first episode made me extremely angry, but after that, it was amazing to see these awesome guys adapt to adversity in a country where only one of them could speak English fluently.
Thank you for what you're doing here. I'm so proud to support you!
Thank you for being an awesome supporter! I will definitely look into American Hustle Life.
@@DestructiveMediaYT 💜
@@DestructiveMediaYT The first episode should make you angry as hell. But the rest of it is amazing.
Laura is my people. They were my entry into Korean and learning the language and Culture gave me a focus.
MAGIC SHOP, SPRING DAY, I NEED U, THE TRUTH UNTOLD, AIRPLANE PT 2, ANPANMAN, GO-GO, AM I WRONG are all awesome group songs and live performances.
I know it has been suggested before but I *highly highly recommend watching the MMA 2019* live performance (TV award show) they did. They perform 5 different songs in very different genres - the last one being Dionysus which I think you would really enjoy musically. I think Dionysus is the closest to a rock/metal vibe apart from Fake Love Rock Remix which also features distinctive real electric guitars in the instrumental.
(The live concert versions of Dionysus and Fake Love Rock Remix are insane btw when the bass and guitar booms across the stadium)
I fell in love with BTS because of their outstanding live performances and DVD concert footage. Their live vocals add such a raw emotion to their songs and they often use "concert mixes" live with real instruments which gives us ARMY something exciting and new every time they perform. Also ARMY is the 8th member of BTS. I have no idea if you have heard the term "fan chants" yet or have any idea what "ARMY Bombs" are but if you are curious this is a Mic Drop performance at their concert I watch when I need energy or feel a little bit lost. This is what you see when you attend a concert and it gives me goosebumps every time I watch it.
ARMY recorded from their seat (this is not official DVD concert footage)
I think *Laura* would love watching this MIC DROP recording to gain strengh - just know that ARMY are a family. We are by your side to give you support as much as BTS are.
Just search this on CZcams, it has over 3 million views:
"방탄소년단 BTS Speak Yourself Tour Final In Seoul - Mic Drop (2019.10.27)"
I have never seen them live even though I have been an ARMY since 2014, but I own or have watched every single concert DVD and their ability to excite you so much and touch you so deeply through a monitor that you almost feel you are actually at the concert is insane.
Not many artists can translate this kind of energy through a recording but BTS were born to be on stage.
Welcome Auntie Laura 💜🇨🇦
MN dance company is actually from Europe 💜
Hey fellow Mid-westerners! We're from Rochester and Wauwatosa :)
I always love watching people watch Mic Drop for the first time. I think it will go down as one of the all-time greats. And that's coming from a big Green Day/Pink Floyd fan, so go figure. Love your deep reactions. Keep it up 💜
Bighit were genius with marketing BTS. They recorded everything from even before BTS debuted. There is so much content from them. I hope you watch it all. These guys are the best in the world for a reason. Great reaction!
You should do a Jimin video next sense he has Covid and had emergency surgery.
Your aunt is adorable.
Oh !!! The auntie we need to thank ! Can’t wait!
I love that you have your Aunt helping you learn about the boys and their music! I’m older Army I resonate with her on how BTS came to me!! My oldest son is 4 days older than J Hope and my youngest is between JungKook and V and Jimin!
I’ve been army 2018 and wish I had found a lot earlier!! They are 7 amazing young men and I love all their music!! Mic Drop along with On , Black Swan are a few of my top favorites. You need to hear Born Singer !! That is another aimed at their haters. And it’s actually a remake of a rappers song Birn Sinner. I think it’s J Cole!
Love your honest reaction and your aunt is lovely. Our 19 yr old son introduced us to BTS a yr ago. Hubby and me love the boys to bits, so far we bought 4 albums and watched all their online concerts. Thanks for giving them a chance. Borahae💜💜💜
Aunt Laura is awesome! 💜
Omg! I love your aunt and I LOVED YOUR REACTION!
Keep watching videos and keep reacting please!
Please tell your aunt that i love her. I'm 42 years old mom and i love bts so much. I'm not sure if i'm the one who found them or they who had found me. They really help me through the whole pandemic situation. And now i'm happy that i got stuck in this rabbit whole. Bts are absolutelly the best ever.
I guess I am a BTS Noona too! All of BTS could be my kids ~ my daughter will be 21 soon. New subscriber here… I love that your Aunt Laura was in this video. I was introduced to BTS in 2020 by my daughter. She had been a fan since about 2016 or so. I fell HARD fur these guys. They are just so awesome! I even flew from the Midwest out to LA last Dec to see them in concert ~ which would have been the furthest thing from my mind 2 years ago. I wish I had become a fan earlier, but it is fun to watch others become ARMY as they watch BTS videos. Some suggestions for BTS to watch (if you haven’t yet) are: Blood Sweat & Tears, Dope, Fire, Danger, Boy with Luv ft. Halsey, Idol, Anpanman, DNA, Fake Love, War of Hormone, and Boy in Luv. All are great ~ enjoy! ☺️💜
Thank you for subscribing!
BTS music have deeper meaning with theories, lyrics are for healing too.
Everybody's family is messed up to a degree! Whenever I am having to deal with someone that has caused me grief, I listen to "I Wouldn't Wanna Be Like You" by Alan Parsons Project and "I Don't Care Anymore" by Phil Collins. LOL I am an older Army member, like your Aunt and I am the only person (in my life) that has any interest in BTS, but thankfully everyone in my life is very supportive and understanding about it. And it's true, you find BTS (or they find you) when you need them most. For me it was near the beginning of the pandemic.
Loved meeting Aunt Laura!! I am a woman of a particular age and I also love BTS!! I need to work on my merch game tho....Walmartcom here I come🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🥰💜💜💜
UGH!! I'm so late watching 😫 Their ON performance, in Grand Central Station, on Jimmy Fallon pushed me down the rabbit hole. They have several ON performances/videos that are amazing. When Suga had surgery and they performed ON, at the end they left a space where Suga would've been. They are so freakin' aware and thoughtful of each other. The most humble and loving young men.
Thank you Destructive Media for giving them a chance and having an open mind.
We Purple You💜
Awwww so great you had your aunt in this video 🥰 I hope we get to see more of her!!! She picked a great song and I'm so excited to see what you react to next 💜💜
this is totally unrelated, but aunt laura is so PRETTYYY!!! and i love the way her voice sounds when she speaks 🥺🥺 she's so eloquent and cool oh my god i wanna be as cool as her when i'm her age
I am glad for you that you have someone in your family you can talk and share the same interest . Very cool aunt! Loved it.
Loved this reaction with your Aunt. So happy that you are enjoying the greatness that is BTS 💜
On Weverse The boys usually post in Korean and fans leave messages in many languages but there is a translate button that gives you a fairly close translation. And ARMY usually post good, accurate translations of the boys’ comments.
Laura, you're awesome!! It's always so nice to see real life Army in the wild, just living your best Army life 💜 Borahae!
I loved this reaction! Shout out to your aunt from a fellow bts Noona! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
One thing I find very interesting, that seems to come up a lot with the Mic Drop reactions, is that many people are unfamiliar with the Spoon Class Theory, which funny enough is actually a western theory. My conclusion is that it's a generational knowledge thing (which just saying that makes me feel old, lol), especially since that term really isn't used often these days. I'm not sure if anyone else around my age can concur, but me being 42, I grew up knowing what that analogy meant. We even had a TV show when I was growing up that I'm sure you a lot of you might remember, called Silver Spoons. Anyhow, just found this very interesting, especially after having seeing a lot of reactors not only look it up, but also conclude that it was a Korean specific analogy. Anyone else out there around my age, or any age that is familiar with this theory? Just interested to know.
Yes, I was waiting for "mic drop" and it was definitely worth it! I knew you were gonna like this one. Your aunt is super nice and has a very good taste. "ON" is an amazing one to react, for sure. Can't wait!
Oh, and I recommend you "Persona", RMs solo.
Hello Noona...... Great to know that ur Aunt is an ARMY, She's cool & nice much love& thank u for taking ur precious time & getting to know more abt BTS & their Discography they are Amazing they are more than an Artists its their Personality,their nature, their humble & down to earth nature & their vulnerability that makes them so special not forgetting their immense talent .... They are the same humble & down to earth filled with passion who debuted 8 years ago irrespective of their name & fame TODAY!!!! Huge respect
I absolutely loved seeing aunt Laura in your video!! She was able to give such good background info for mic drop live for you too which was great instead of you having to wait for our comments about the background after the vids done. Loved this!
Also idk if you’re interest in their choreo side of things but if you are, you HAVE to see their mic drop dance practice with the dance break. Shows that their talents really have no limits
ALSO lol, (im commenting as i finish the video) a really moving song that has all 7 of them is called Magic Shop. Even their live versoin is so good and has subtitles as well. Its a beautiful song
Love this! Your aunt is cool and I'm older as well. Got into BTS because I was drawn by their humor then their dance...lastly I did a dive into their music and lyrics (esp by Suga solo mixtapes) did me in...they are a happy pill for me!! Hoping this will make your relationship with your aunt even stronger!
This was such a wholesome video!! Thank you and your aunt for this reaction, I love how your aunt was able to give context to certain things too, very cool to see 🥰🥰
Comment two! BTS can be as much or as little to you as you want. They have provided SO MANY hours of content in the last 8+ years. (there are some things available pre-debut..debut fyi is 6/13/13) It's very hard for ARMY who love them so much to not just dogpile on people looking into them. One of the biggest joys of ARMY is sharing our love of these 7 men, in all forms that takes. They are amazing musicians/producers/dancers/entertainers/comedians/models/PEOPLE. So Laura showed great restraint! I commend her. 😆
Good choice, Laura! Can't go wrong with Mic Drop.👍 Enjoyed the reaction; hope to see more of Aunt Laura. Thanks!
I’m waiting for more reactions!! 🤗💜
I belong to a group of older fans we are the silver army! I am 59 and my first video I saw was Idol. But it wasn’t the song to grab my attention but RM. I went and watched his solo videos, which led me to Agust D and Jhopes Hope world. I than started listening to the rest of BTS. I watched the videos in order of their release. Than I listened to the albums in order. But the song that locked me into that rabbit hole was epiphany. It was the song that moved me and clicked into what I needed at that moment. And to put out what I listened to before classic country or classic rock and oldies and soft rock. I HATED rap before listening to these guys. They opened my eyes to accepting more than what I knew. Love this trip I am taking with them!
Your aunt is not crazy, I’m in my 40’s and have their pictures in my walk in closet with quotes from them to help boost my self esteem when I’m getting ready to face the day. I have also have Dolly Parton and my son’s picture. They inspire me and boost my self esteem. Anyone that can help me like that will have a place in my closet too😊
Absolutely loooveee your aunt, i can see her physically controlling hersekf, from bursting in to the song and to explain the lyrics!! 🥰
I looooooove your aunt!!! She is so cute and represents us by your side 😃 I hope she can be with you again because can give you some explanations in real time the way we will love to do!
Oh! When will we play again???? (Finding words) I'm sure I'm not the only one missing the game 😆...
Very soon!
We love Army noona! She is so awesome! I really wanna see you both watch and go on deep dive with Spring Day. Watch the mv, lyrics video, italian army explanation video. It would be so amazing to see you both talk about it and bring your own perspectives.
Thank you both for such an amazing video! 💜
BTS will found u ..that line really hit me hard ..I was in bad vase in my life surrounded by haters and some how I fell in the rabbit hole..really They made me happy and changed me inside
Man, your aunt is so cool 😍And I really enjoyed your reaction!
If you want to see more of the whole group, I would recommend you ON (Kinetic Manifesto) and Dionysus (MMA 2019).
Other than that, since BTS is also known for their 'music for healing' I'd suggest you to check out songs like Blue & Grey, The Truth Untold and Magic Shop (live versions with subtitles are really cool), so you can better understand why their lyrics are so important for many people (even if it's probably not your type of music).😅
And finally, of course, the queen, Spring Day (plus an explanation video by the italian army, it's a bit long but it explains well the most popular interpretation of the lyrics and the MV).
Thanks for your work and as always, can't wait your next reaction!
Take care, I Purple you! 💜💜💜
I actually think you’d enjoy doing an ALBUM review, either Love Yourself: TEAR, or Map of the Soul 7. You’d get to hear a range of songs developed around a theme (rapline, vocal line, and solo songs) and get to know their repertoire and versatility in terms of genres (upbeat, satirical, soulful) while diving into the lyrics as well. Superb songwriting by the members, plus very high production qualities from the team at BigHit Music.
need the perfect song at the right moment in your life…Love yourself is my one song then UN speech after that made me realize they are different, what my daughter was telling me since 2018 was true now I’m an Army mom and supportive of ALL of them I feel them as my own kids…no bias bc is like making me choose between my kids…each one of them are unique!!!!
I really like your Aunt Laura. I'm a Noona too. I have a daughter JK's age.
BTS's discography has really resonated with me and helped me go through some tough things this past year.
I hope your Aunt comes on again. I look forward to going to my first BTS concert some day.
That's the thing with almost all of us armys Or atleast me, bts's was like a friend, a mentor and all things good who helped me when I was lost. Found them when I was at my worst.
Love your reaction always and can I say ur aunt is very pretty.
Hi Aunt Laura! I’m also Laura and I’m also a noona army so have to say hi 👋.
BTS is so amazing as everyone knows now. Please also get into the vocal line. Their vocals are so amazing! Empowering, inspiring and life-affirming. There are so MANY great songs hahaha!
Your aunt is awesome 😁 your relationship with her is what I wish I will have with my nephew when they grow up.
I loved it! I spent the whole video very excited haha thank you! 💜💜
As an older international ARMY I feel you on the expensive shipping fees. But I live in Canada so I buy from international Weverse. Other than shipping you'll have to be in time to catch merchandise before it gets sold out in literally minutes!
Awwww! I love Laura! She seems so kind and genuine! 💜💜💜 Thank you for sharing your experience with BTS and for being the representation of BTS' ability to transcend all barriers! It was very nice to meet you! 💜💜💜 I hope we'll be able to see her again in the next BTS videos to come!
Awww..thats was so nice watching u guys.. Yeah.. We find bts when he really need them..i totally agree about that
