Hello, I'm a 57 year old BTS ARMY (fanbase), since 2020. *Who is BTS?* BTS = *B* ang *T* an *S* onyeondan = Korean for Bullet Proof Boy Scouts or Bangtan Boys. In an interview, band member J-Hope (rapper that opened the song, and also wore red outfit) revealed, “BTS has a profound meaning. ‘Bangtan’ means to be resistant to bullets, so it means to block out stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations that aim at adolescents like bullets, to preserve the values and ideal of today’s adolescents.” They are a seven member group that consists of 3 rappers, 4 vocalists, and they can all dance, rap, and sing. They are multi-talented artists that have become a Global Supergroup, paving the way for other K-POP Artists to have a platform in the Global music market. *BTS and their company* BTS debuted in South Korea as a HIP HOP IDOL Group on June 13, 2013, from a small, independent, start up company - Big Hit Entertainment. Because of BTS's success, the company grew and eventually split off into two companies. HYBE Labels Corp. - which is their business side, and parent company, and BIG HIT MUSIC (subsidiary of HYBE) - which is BTS's label and music production company. Big Hit Music has three main artists - BTS, TXT, and Lee Hyun (solo singer). BTS has an amazing underdog story, just like their company, and they both grew together. *BTS's Music* From the beginning, BTS's CEO gave them artistic freedom to create their own sound and to write and produce their own music. They were young when they signed on as trainees for Big Hit Ent. from 2010 to 2012, and they debuted in 2013 at the ages of 15 (Jungkook) to 20 (SUGA and JIN). Their CEO Bang Si-Hyuk, was like a mentor, big brother, father figure to them, and he and his production team guided them on their journey to becoming a cohesive group of seven artists. Their music started out as mostly HIP HOP and R&B styles, and that is their core and their roots. They are students of music and HIP HOP, As they grew as artists, their sound evolved and changed, and they started incorporating other genre's of music and experimenting with new sounds. BTS are known for crossing and fusing different genre's of music And they are not afraid to experiment with their sound and share their feelings or stories in their music. They are also known for covering controversial topics that aren't usually covered in K-POP. Like mental health, self love, social justice, societal expectation, etc. *Wrap Up* I hope the information I provided helps you to understand who BTS are a little better. For a more in depth understanding, if you are going to be continuing to react to BTS, I highly recommend an introduction video. Thanks for the reaction. *Here are three guides that are all well put together* I highly recommend Taylor's guide and then Boracity Magazine. Also a good one is Rice Squad, for their chronological story with their discography and accomplishments, but I think they leave a lot of information out, so I recommend the other two first. Taylors guide will give you a look each individual member, a summary of their accomplishments and story, and their relationship with their fanbase. The Boracity Magazine is an in depth look at their journey through their discography, from pre-debut of their chapter 1, and my favorite out ot the three. (Chapter 1 is their journey up until they went on a group break to do solo projects and mandatory military service. That is called chapter 2, and it started after their Anthology album release mid- 2022. They will be coming back together in 2025, as their new contract has been renewed with their agency Big Hit/HYBE. 1- A Guide to BTS Members (May 2022): The Bangtan 7 by Taylor Mari - czcams.com/video/huV_yIdxZPY/video.html 2- An Introduction To BTS' Discography (from chapter one) by Boracity Magazine - czcams.com/video/JEM5rRjq7kc/video.htmlsi=gvESiNlBpbyMDYUJ 3- The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS (2023 Update) - czcams.com/video/0KonKFssKnM/video.htmlsi=BWb_G-mya5w-2EY7 I hope my comment wasn't too long. I tried to keep it interesting, and with information that will be helpful. I look forward to more of your BTS Journey. 😊
The fact you felt that their vibe was brotherly, cool, and open-minded is exactly what BTS is. They are very versatile when it comes to music. They covered every genre of music. Always willing to try something new. They are amazing!
@@TEEJ-9You seem very perceptive. They have developed very deep bonds and consider each other family. They started off sharing a single room in a company dorm and lived together for almost a decade, with the older members, barely adult themselves “raising” the younger ones like true brothers would and sharing bigger apartments once their careers took off. The very definition of “living in each other’s pockets”. They show strong sibling energy and are often playful and openly affectionate.
"Who's that guy?" Sir, that is Kim Namjoon aka RM (formerly known as Rap Monster) aka BTS leader aka the President of Kpop. Cutely called by ARMY as Namjoonie aka Joonie aka Joonbug aka Koala bear aka Monie etc. OH and also GOD OF DESTRUCTION.... he's the clumsiest of the group.
Thanks for your wonderful reaction. They are the biggest band in the world. Here an overview about BTS: BTS (in Korean "Bangtan Sonyeondan" means Bulletproof Boyscouts) consists of three rappers and four vocalists. All seven of them are excellent dancers. Here is the list of their names: RM - leader, main rapper Jin - visual, vocals SUGA - lead rapper Jhope - dance leader, main dancer, rapper Jimin - main dancer, lead vocals V - visual, vocals JK - main vocals, lead dancer They do a wide variety of music, but basically they are rooted in hip-hop. All seven members participate in making their songs by writing, composing, and producing them. BTS started with a small company that almost went bankrupt, so they have been very looked down and hated by Korean broadcasting stations and other K-pop fandom. So they have struggled from the beginning to prove themselves. Dynamite, Butter, Permission to Dance, these three songs were released in English to give positive energy to people around the world during the pandemic caused by Covid-19. Most of their songs are in Korean, and their music video provides subtitles in several languages, including English. (Please turn on the subtitles while watching) If you're interested in BTS's songs, here is a list of them: Fake Love FIRE DNA The lyrics of BTS' songs are based on their own experiences, and their albums are organic because they contain their growth narrative. BTS are famous for their deep and meaningful lyrics. They have written almost 95% of their songs from their discography. BTS offers a wide range of genres when it comes to their music. As a group they are explosive but they are also individually amazing in their different style of music. They make a wide variety of genres of music like Hip-hop, Ballad, R&B, pop, EDM, etc. I'm sure there are quite a few of their over 300 songs that suit your taste. :) They have numerous world records to their names. Another song I recommend is "Run BTS". Their is no official MV for this one, they have a dance practice video and their live performance from their free Busan concert. Lastly, I think this video is the best to understand each BTS member. ;) A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7 by Taylor czcams.com/video/huV_yIdxZPY/video.html I would love to watch more of BTS reactions on your channel. I hope you enjoy their whole discography. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 P.S: As of 12th of December 2023 all the members of BTS have enlisted for military service.
@@TEEJ-9You’ll really enjoy the guide recommended above if you want to know more about the guys. And you’re totally correct. They have a very close brotherly bond. 💜 Looking forward to more reactions.
You have a lot of great info already provided. They are the best and Army loves them dearly. They have their own variety show and trip videos. In their country all men must serve 2 yrs of military and BTS were happy to serve their country which they love so much. They are great in sharing their culture and language and have their traditional values which are wonderful. They are humble, giving, modest and hilariously funny. I hope you enjoy your exploration and as we say “enjoy going down the rabbit hole” - we will be there too! 💜😊🫶🏽
BTS is the ultimate underdog story IRL. Two of the rappers came out of the underground rap scene, another belonged to a street dance crew, etc... In 2014 they came to LA and worked with OG rappers Coolio and Warren G. They cover all genres of music, so we never know what to expect when they make a new comeback, but we know it's gonna be good. Right now they are all in the Korean military (it's mandatory for all males) and they will be back together in 2025. 💜
"They seem like really cool dudes". You have NO idea who you have "stumbled upon". Not only are these guys cool, but also super talented singers and dancers. Actually, they are The Best group in the world. But don't take my word. I challenge you to dive deep. Right now, they are all in the South Korean military performing mandatory service. They won't be back together til the end of 2025. So you have time to catch up on their 10 years of content. Not only are they talented, but also very kind, humble, loving, and caring human beings. No egos. I also recommend you watch " A Guide to the BTS Members: Bangtan 7". You will want to know something about them and their names while you watch their videos. Just so you know they sing ALL genres. I know others are recommending other groups, but I challenge you to Dive Deep into BTS. Watch "Black Swan". A different genre. You will see their diversity. Welcome. We are here for you.
its long yes 47 min something like that@@TEEJ-9 but there's a 3 hr guide for Seventeen i have watched multiple times to remember info so u will be fine
They are the kings of k-pop and have gone global. 3 rappers, 4 vocalists, great dancers, they do it all. They can do any genre. You want dance - try Fire, Not Today, and Dope. You want artistic - try Black Swan and Blood, Sweat & Tears. You want pop - try Dynamite, Butter, and Permission to Dance. You want to hear them live, my favorite is the Tiny Desk Concert. They are amazing. It’s also entertaining to see their dance practices. They are a bit different than the music videos as they have to make it work on stage for their concerts
Mic Drop is BTS' response to their haters with a little flexing on the side spitting facts...lol. wuth Suga's epic lines "tasteless ratatouille" & "sue it". I recommend you check their latest live performance of Mic Drop from their Yet To Come Busan concert last October 2022 where it was attended by 70k live audience and was livestreamed by over 50M worldwide causing the apps to crash from time to time but sooooo worth it. You will feel the same energy. 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
Also, it's vital to add here that this concert was ABSOLUTELY FREE for everyone!!!! Those in attendance and the ones watching at home❤❤🎉🎉❤❤🎉🎉❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
@@TEEJ-9 The energy from the BUSAN concert is off the charts - the live band is savage and the guys gave it their all, as the last live performance of all 7 before starting notary service.
Originally, and it's important to know that since it's referenced in their lyrics. But when they rebranded (2018? ARMY, remind me), the company changed their logo and meaning. BTS now stands for Beyond The Scene.
@nebulablue2096 They didn't change the meaning, they *extended* the meaning. It means both things. They provided an English alternative...they didn't replace the name Bangtan.
Yes, they will always be titled Bangtan Sonyeondan, even the 7 guys, Hybe, media, journalists, award shows, fans, non-fans & even haters will always say the original & only name of the band. It will always mean Bulletproof Boyscouts, because they are a military concept & theme from the very start when Bang PD put the music concept on paper around 2009. Once they return from conscription, assuming everything goes perfectly, they may become the only modern band in global history that will be both fictional & non-fictional military, unless you count marching bands in general. And they will now be part of 2 armies instead of just 1 as before. Big Time Soldiers 2025. 02/16/24
He is Mr. Kim Namjoon, Leader of BTS. Rapper, lyricist, song producer. You should listen his album Indigo and Ddaeng, Look here, Trivia: Love, Moonchild songs, Joke, Rap Monster songs. You will love him.
Fun fact time: Mic Drop was inspired by former President Obama's mic drop when he left office and while it might come off as cocky in terms of bragging you kind of need to know their story. These boys debuted in 2013, the youngest was ONLY 15, from a small company in Korea which didn't have any influence to help promote them like the big 3 did. Those companies are JYP, YG and SM who had a lot of media control and groups under those labels had the funding plus company names to make them big. BTS struggled A LOT and the sheer amount of hate thrown at them, which still is an ongoing issue, would make you sick. Mic Drop is their way of saying that they made it on their own merit, through years of hard work along with support from their fanbase known as ARMY, and that those haters can basically go piss off since they aren't worth the effort to acknowledge. The group has 3 rappers with 2 of them coming from the underground scene in Korea and 4 vocalists. Currently all 7 are serving their mandatory military enlistment with the full group planning to unite as 7 in 2025. Thankfully we'll get the oldest member Jin back in about 4 months with j-hope returning around September. Edit: I couldn't help but add that BTS and their hard work has grown their small company into HYBE, formerly Big Hit Entertainment, which is now bigger than ALL 3 of those big companies. They did this as a single group up until 2019 when another boy group debuted under Big Hit.
Crazy! That actually is indeed a fun fact lol love this meaning behind the lyrics. I will def do lyric dives when I am a bit more comfortable behind the camera.
“these guys are legit” YES, SIR! #1 Band in the World. They are ALL in the military fulfilling their duty. 18 months for each. Will return to WORLD STAGE AS A GROUP in late 2025! Their ARMY cannot wait. Seven MJs 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜👑
i'm not a fan of BlackPink, though of course they are talented and driven. However, compared to BP, who had a massive amount of finance behind them and great promotion from their company, Thank you for exploring BTS - I enjoyed your reaction and your appreciation: it is fair to say though that you cannot be expected to know yet just how different BTS are. We all have to start somewhere, so I hope you continue to enjoy... BTS are self made. Their company, Big Hit, had 20 staff when they started and were near bankruptcy at least once, on one occasion actually sending them home due to lack of funds (the rappers refused to go and somehow they got funds from somewhere - likely friends in the business). They debuted in 2013 as the only group under BH, and faced an enormous amount of abuse in Korea, plus xenophobia death threats around the world too. in January 2020 BH rebranded as Hybe which is now the largest entertainment company in Korea. The BTS members were awarded shares as part of that launch - quite rightly, because Hybe was possible only through the work of BTS and the staff working with them.Artistically, BTS were one of the first idol groups to be as heavily involved with production as they are - up until them, most idols were given acts to perform and had little say - which I suspect was pretty frustrting. After BTS, things changed quite a bit, and many younger groups acknowledge that BTS paved the way for them not only in the west but also to some extent in Korea. There are documentaries with information about idol groups. There must be one for BP, but for BTS I recommend, Introduction to BTS; the Bangtan 7 by the serendipitous Taylor Mari. This takes you to May 2022 : since then there have been multiple solo songs and albums, concerts and all are now enlisted for their mandatory military service and will all be back in 2025. BTS stands for Bangtan Seonyeondan, pronounced Bangtan Sonyondan (Korean transliteration can be confusing) and that means Bulletproof Boyscouts. BTS aim since before debut was always to stand up for young people. Older Koreans can be viciously critical of young people and very demanding, so that criticism, demands, and complaints rain down on young people like bullets, and BTS want to stand in front of them and protect them. The 'feel' of their music has obviously matured in 10 years, but the underlying ethos remains the same. They modified the 'meaning' of BTS a few years ago to Bayond the Scene, but it has not lasted long - I find it unnecessary and meaningless. I could give you a list of songs from their playlists of more than 350, but won;t. Others have already offered some. Now, when you pick another to play, it may be completely different from this, so you may be surprised. Get used to it. They offer all sorts of genres, and cover a myriad of subjects, nearly always deep and sometimes tough. Much tougher then BP - and perhaps deeper than any other idol group - though I think others are also now exploring more deeply. Also just as a heads up - with BTS there is almost nothing that is unconsidered or is not deep. Many things have at least two meanings if not more. Many songs are coplex, using wordplay crossing between Korean and English (or Japanese), plus cultural and historical references that we can not know. So for many there are fan-made 'explanation' videos which are invaluable. fyi Mic Drop is a response to the hate BTS commonly (still) get, trying to put them down and minimised their skill, talent, hard work, and achievements. Most of it is fairly transparent, but when you've heard it so many times, sometimes you miss things that are no onvious to newcommers. BTS music is invariably fun, often hilarious, but usually has more than one thing gong on. MVs can be a complex drama, and some cover painful trauma. Add to that the plethora of other media, game shows, travel films, Vlogs and Vlives with fans ....
Will def get around to these documentaries. I'm VERY big on lyrics and depth, so once my personality suppressed camera shy phase dissipates👊I'm def going to delve into these BTS lyrics
@@TEEJ-9 Use Doolset lyrics (a labor of love with bilingual lyrics plus linguistic and cultural notes) and DKDKTV for explainer videos by a Korean native speaker. Loved your reaction and will be back for more.
@@TEEJ-9 You are in for a treat! The rappers excel at wordplay, especially RM, and almost every song they make can be interpreted in multiple ways. The guys release explanations of what the songs mean *to them* but they also urge the listener to interpret them in any way that's meaningful. 'Fake Love', for example, can refer to someone facing the fact that the relationship they thought they had was built on falsity, but it can also be seen as someone confronting the fact that they themself have been 'wearing a mask', hiding their real selves from the world. 'Danger', on the surface, is a guy telling his girlfriend to stop messing around with his emotions and playing head-games, but underneath it's a rather bitter rant at the music shows and television programs that called them in when an extra act or backup dancers were needed, then ignored them or cut their performances when they were supposed to perform as scheduled. Some of their songs require explanations from Korean-speakers to get all the cultural references and shades of meaning; you'll find some good explanation vids here on YT. And some just require more explanation because they weave back to earlier references. You can find a lot of interpretation sites, but Doolset is one of the best, and Genius Lyrics has a lot of input from long-time fans. There are also a lot of visual clues and Easter eggs in music videos; we're not called 'eagle-eyed ARMY' for nothing. But don't worry too much about that yet; it takes time to get used to watching the MV and reading the subs AND catching all the background details. Oh, and don't rely on hair color or hairstyle to tell them apart. Hair color and style are more indicators of which album they were promoting/performing than anything else! Mic color and singing/rapping voice are the best way I've found to learn them. They all have very distinctive voices, a nice rarity for a music group.
@@kshafer6220 I comprehend yah! Also I'll surely be able to identify them withing a few weeks or hopefully after I watch these documentaries ARMYs are recommending me react to.
Thankyou so much for writing those things. I am touched as an army. I got to know a lot of new things. It's amazing that you took sm effort to write this❤
BTS is the biggest group in the world, and by far the biggest thing ever to come out of S Korea. They are bigger than the whole rest of the KPop industry combined. They literally brought in as much money with a single concert as the Pyongyang Winter Olympics in S Korea did. They came up against incredible odds as the ultimate underdogs on a tiny indie label that prized artistic freedom and integrity and the artist's voice, pitted against a corrupt S Korean and global music industry. They were essentially the only artists at their label and now it's the biggest one in S Korea, all built on their blood, sweat and tears the last 11 years. Yet they remain the most grounded, humble, kind, fun (and funny), sweet, loving and dedicated artists, in love with one another as a family and with their fanbase, ARMY. Like seriously, seriously devoted to ARMY. They love us as much as we love them, and regularly get emotional about it. All their music is storytelling and all their albums are concept albums. They are definitely a thinking person's band, with the depth of their storytelling. You can enjoy the music on a surface level, because it's just damned good, or delve deeper into the stories. The lyrics are storytelling. The music video visuals are storytelling. Their choreography is storytelling. Even their song structures contribute to the storytelling. They tell stories on each track that are in line with the themes of concept albums, as well as another layer that is their personal stories, and a further layer that are universal stories everyone can relate to. Some of their music also tells additional stories related to the BU (The Bangtan Universe) which is the supernatural psychological mystery that runs through multiple albums and also has clues revealed slowly in other multimedia like books, their webtoons, MVs, short films, their mobile game BTS World, album notes, and other places. There is a KDrama in post-production based on the BU now as well. In the BU, all the guys play fictional characters of their same name, and deal with a lot of relatable and serious issues like poverty, domestic abuse, mental and physical health challenges, etc. They cover many genres such as Rap, Hip Hop, Pop, R&B, Jazz, Neo soul, Rock, Pop Rock, Latin Pop, EDM, Synth Dance, Ballads, and more. They address subjects such as mental health, socio-economic and socio-political issues, current events, grief, loss, loneliness and alienation, generational conflicts, love in all it's phases and types from romantic and fated to toxic and broken to familial and self, personal stories and more, and they draw inspiration from sources including psychology, philosophy, literature, classic and fine visual arts, history, science, multiple cultures both modern and ancient, religions and mythos, and more. All this wrapped up in some of the best performers, dancers, singers, rappers, songwriters, producers and composers in the industry. Their scope and range are seriously like nothing you have ever seen before, because it's like nothing that's been done before. They are more than a once in a lifetime group. They are more like a once in forever group. I doubt we will ever see their like again. They get compared to the Beatles, just in scope and scale because there is no one else that comes close, and indeed they have already broken some of the Beatles records. But really, they are very different and also don't have the benefit of being white, English-speaking guys from the west with a western label. I hope you have a great time exploring their discography. They have hundreds and hundreds of songs. They have released 20 albums as a group, 11 solo albums among various members, plus many other collabs, OSTs, singles and unofficial releases in the last 11 years. They are the hardest working group in the business. No matter what you like, they are likely to have something that appeals to you. And if, like me, you like many genres, then they have a LOT you will love. It's just damned good music. They are currently all serving their mandatory military service in S Korea and we expect a comeback in 2025 - which is going to be INSANE....because ARMY is legion. We are in many, many countries all over the globe. They have 76 million followers just on Spotify alone. They sell out the biggest stadiums in the world, everywhere in the world, in minutes. Welcome! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
You're actually spot on in your assessment of them: Legit, inclusive and brotherly. They started with two underground rappers and a street dancer topped with a vocal line that more or less started singing from scratch. They're the ultimate rags to riches story which has not only brought them really close together but also made them stay super humble and inclusive all the way. They're about the music, not the genre, so between them you'll find anything from neosoul to battle style rap. And as a bonus they're funny AF as well. 🤣 Take a chance on them - you won't be disappointed! Try Black Swan or Airplane pt 2 for something completely different from the whole group. - a danish ARMY, age 48 💜
Check the Rap line... BTS Cyphers 1, 2, 3, & 4 RM - Joke, Do You, Persona, Seoul, Trivia: Love, Closer Suga (Agust D) - Daechwita, Seesaw (live performance), Moonlight J Hope - Day Dream, Airplane, Chicken Noodle Soup, Outro: Ego, More BTS songs that have an r&b vibe... Jimin - Serendipity, Filter (live performance) V - Singularity, Love Me Again, For Us Jungkook - Euphoria, My Time, Still With You BTS - Black Swan, Home (Jimmy Fallon performance), Make It Right feat Lauv, Dimple live performance
The guy who did a solo before stepping back and joining another guy is Jeon Jungkook, the youngest of the band and the guy he stepped back to dance with is Kim Taehyung.
The guy that really caught your eye is RM and his real name is Namjoon (Kim Namjoon) He used to go by Rap Monster by now goes by Real Me. He’s the leader of the group but all contribute together. He’s a genius philosopher and extremely clumsy, The guy that was dancing all in red is J-Hope who the Dance Leader and has a sunny disposition though he gets to show a different side of himself on his newest solo album Jack in the box, the guy w the bandana in coloured clothes is V and he’s been part of the dance line since 2018 and is part of the vocal line who loves jazz and R&B, the guy in all white is Suga (aka August-D …Suga spelled backwards and dt meaning his home town Daegu where he goes by this name as his alter ego),all black was Jungkook and is the youngest whose also the main vocalist and part of the dance line, Jimin is a contemporary and hip hop dancer and he’s part of the dance line and vocal line known for his angelic high voice, Jin who you didn’t mention is the eldest and started as the Visual of the group who is also pat of the vocal line. In the beginning RM and Suga did a lot of the writing. Suga produces a lot and also for other people. Now, all of them write, produce. New subscriber from this! Thank you💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🫶🏼
This is RM, the leader of BTS. By the way, if you didn't know, BTS is the biggest group in the world. Check out Joke, Do you and Persona from RM. There's a Guide to BTS (by Taylor Mary). You should check it out. Every Army (fan of BTS) has seen this documentary. It shows what they achieved, how they became big, who the members are and it shows a glimse of their work. By the way, they all have solo peojects next to BTS. All members of BTS are currently serving in the military. It's mandatory in South Korea. They have to enlist for 18 months. They will be reunited in June 2025 to continue their activities. Don't you worry, there's enough content to keep you busy for years. Another thing, every BTS song has a deeper meaning. The lyrics are not just lyrics but the must be analysed. Most of the songs, if not all of the video's even have explanation video's.
MIC Drop is the song that made me ARMY. :) There are a few versions of the song. The original is all in Korean, but they made the MV to the Steve AOKI remix where they changed the chorus to English. There is also a version that has an into feature by Designer. They have performed this a lot live and there is a killer award show performance that has two dance breaks. You can watch the dance practice for that performance and see the full amazing choreography.
It is always so fun to watch a reaction like this! A baby ARMY on the way down the rabbit hole. You will probably hear this a lot in comments, but we like it when you go slow, pause, rewind, and we never complain about a long reaction. We do complain when important (to us, lol) details are missed. Also, most of us ARMIES think of BTS as somewhat outside the Kpop genre, both because of their innovation and world tier talent, and because they stand for WAY more than entertainment . For a lot of us they have become role models and touchstone for sanity in this crazy world. Thanks and looking forward to more BTS from you.
Yes cool and even I a 67 yr old white Canadian would LOVE to meet them! I went down the BTS rabbit hole a few years ago. Now count myself a true fan. Talented, hardworking and supremely humble.
Thank you for this reaction! They are amazing, aren’t they? Very happy you discovered BTS : you’re about to enter another World full of surprises Have a nice trip with them and with us, proud Army (BTS fandom)💜 Army is very diverse too more Than you can imagine : as for me I’ll be 58 next week, litterature teacher in France and presenting conferences on Pop culture and K-pop always with BTS songs as they have the deepest meanings and references : a piece of cake! Hope you’ll have more BTS reactions! 😊
Those are my 7 kingz of KPop they are so cool and their music has meaning mental health depression and more that's what they sing about that's y ARMY loves them so much BTS 4 LIFE BABY
BTS is an amazing group! BTS stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan which means bullet proof boyscouts. There are three rappers RM is the one you pointed out in the red jacket. He's the leader of the group and he writes a lot of their songs along with Suga (singing about sorry mom) Suga is one of their main producers as well. The last rapper is J-Hope, he is the one who started the song. He's their main dancers as well. The four vocalists - Jungkook (JK) is the main vocalist (all black), Jimin is another amazing dancer (goldish jacket), V has the headband, and Jin who does the directing part in the mv. They are all really amazing. I'm glad you liked the mv. They have a huge discography with many different genres. I would recommend On, Black Swan, Blood Sweat and Tears. They've all released solo albums in the past year which as all brilliant as well. 💜💜💜💜💜
You've already reacted to the two biggest groups, and you picked good songs for each so I'm pretty happy! If no one has told you yet, all of the groups also do a dance practice or dance performance video that showcases the choreo and sometimes has filming as good as the music video! One of Blackpinks dance performances actually has more views than the MV itself. I'm sure both of these have already come up, but I will recommend anything by Stray Kids or G idle!
Love your reactions!!! BTS are who got me into K-pop 3 years ago! I’ve never looked back. They are my inspiration and they bring me and millions of others so much joy.
BTS is my happiness and joy all in one group. They are the most talented and diverse skillset of any musician i can think of modernly. They stay humble and treat everyone with the respect that they DIDNT get when they were up and coming. They always support new groups and cheer for the success of others. I hope you enjoy the ride that is getting to know BTS.
This song uses practical effects all the way thru, barely any green screen CGM real explosions & real fire, attached cables yanking them up & flying them thru the air
You're right. They are very chill and brotherly dudes who get along with pretty much anyone who gives them the space to do so. They're known for being very likable and kind people even among celebrities who share stories about meeting them (even privately). Even their ex-staff speak well of them. They weren't always treated kindly so they make an effort to treat others well and make sure no one feels left out or ignored around them. They've honestly made me try harder in my friendships and relationship with my family after I saw the effort they put into their own little found family unit.
FYI the story is black, pink debuted in 2016 in 2023 their seven-year contract with YG entertainment expired story is 2 members re-signed with the label two members left one member is starting her own music label.

Blackpink did renew their contract with YG for group activities only but none of them renewed for individual activities. And both Jennie and Lisa have started their own music companies.
Yaay! Thank you for reacting with respect and an open mind♥ I hope you enjoy your journey into Kpop. Thank you for the subtitles as well! So much easier for non-english speakers to follow
You nailed the personality of the group. Because of all the hate and how they were looked down on those struggles created a solid brotherly bond, which we’re fortunate enough to see since they share so much with us
The guy you wanted to have identified is RM the leader of the group. Real name Kim Namjoon. And you're right...he's cool and verifiable high IQ. Enjoyed your reaction!
That is our leader Namjoon, I have to warn you though our boys are Hella talented so you are in for the ride of your life🤣🤣 Armyyyyy Borahae🤴💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🤴 OT7
I have some suggestions of songs to react to from the members of BTS ON, Fake Love, Blood Sweat & Tears, Born Singer, Black Swan, Sugas Interlude ft Halsey, Angel ft. Kodak Black RM-Wildflower, Closer, Lonely V-Rainy Days JHope-On the Streets ft J Cole Jimin-Like Crazy, Set me Free Part 2, Vibe Jungkook-Seven, Standing next to you
The list of songs by individual members are their newer stuff. Jin was not mentioned ...he has a contemporary rock style (songs Ephiphany, Abyss, Astronaut). Suga has the largest discography (songs: Daechwita, Shadow Interlude, Amygdala, Snooze, Haegum, D-Day, Agust-D, Set Me Fre Pt1, People, etc etc...) and is one of BTS's main producers (won an award and all). Nice to see a new reactor (not a nuclear reactor 😂) ok bad joke. Will subscribe. Later!!
BTS are the biggest group in the world. Their numbers overshadow the entirety of kpop combined. What sets BTS apart is their diverse discography and artistic integrity. They write, produce, and compose a lot of their music, and are involved with every element of the creation process. This is an anomaly in kpop for the last decade or so, where most groups are strictly manufactured and have no involvement in the songs beyond being mouthpieces. Since rappers who don't write their lyrics aren't real rappers, it was especially important for the 3 rappers of BTS to represent hip hop and rap genuinely and write their own lyrics. Again, groups you reacted to before aren't like this and those groups have their lyrics written for them, and it shows because there's very little care given to good writing for those groups. BTS' leader has talked about the movement in the industry where many listeners don't pay attention to lyrics, but he feels it's important. BTS has proven you can have silly songs just meant to blast in the car to enjoy the sound, but it is not mutually exclusive with also having songs with great depth and meaning. BTS also has some of the best dancers and singers in the industry. You can't go wrong. Since BTS' rise, some groups have demonstrated their involvement with the creation of the music. If this is BTS' success sending a message to companies to let other idols have a say or just coincidence, IDK. BTS wasn't exclusively the group to write songs, but inarguably the most involved and most prolific. Mamamoo, Stray Kids, G-idle come to mind as other groups who are involved in their own music.
The man you're asking about is the leader of the group/member of the rap line and his name is RM/Rap Monster (early years Rap Monster and now it's RM seeing they debuted over 10yrs ago. He also is very philosophical and a deep thinker. The guy in all black with the hat and moves you like is Jungkook and he is apart of the vocal line. Every member of BTS has their own unique twist and talent that they bring to the group. BTS stands for Bangtan Sonyeontan. Thanks for the awesome reaction, another song you should definitely check out seeing you liked this song so much is N.O. You will enjoy it too.
In the last 2 years, it’s been the solo era as they all had to do a mandatory 18 months in the Korean military. My favorite 3 put out the following: Jungkook (JK) does English pop and he sometimes collabs with American artists. My recent favorite is with Usher “Standing Next to You.” V is very smooth R&B vibes - my favorite is Slow Dancing. Jin only had time for one song before he enlisted - the Astronaut. BTS is close to Coldplay and they co-wrote this song. They also did a song and video with Coldplay called My Universe. It’s a great mv!
Cool reaction. I just came across this video after reacting to the BTS guide video and have to admit your reaction is good. Bts music is really versatile and they have different kinds of vibes in all of their songs. Waiting for another reaction video to BTS
fyi 1 of the inspiration for the song was rm watching president obama's speech to congress & national press club where he dropped the mic at the end of his speech.
Our precious talented dorks debuted in 2013 so you definitely got a long way to go on their massive discography! What music genre or mood are you in? ARMYs can totally make some suggestions. Aside from their group projects, they also have solo projects, unit projects, collaborations etc...many many layers of absolute masterpieces. Keep in mind that their roots are in hip hop, but as they've evolved as Artists , they've dabbled with many sounds. Welcome to BTS x HYBE x ARMY global family. 💜 Btw...."Mic Drop" was inspired by a speech from former president Barack Obama. Dude with the white background that you asked about...that's our precious President Kim Namjoon aka RM. He's the writer/rapper/Composer who was inspired by Obama's speech. Our dude is a poet. All 7 members of BTS are extremely versatile in their crafts...their art...their music. 💜🎶
You should check out the Mic Drop Dance Practice and Bangtan Bomb 'Mic Drop' Special Stage (BTS focus) @2017 MBC - BTS -- With the Dance Practice you can see the dance break and the live version, you can hear the fans.
He's Kim Namjoon, the leader of the supergroup, BTS. He's a rapper, producer, songwriter, poet, and a literal genius with an IQ of 148. He's fluent in 3 languages and taught himself English by watching the show Friends. He's given speeches at the UN and the White House.
For Army, BTS is our brothers, friends, grand sons, etc…BTS is family for Army, we support, we protect, we love, we are millions of people coming from all over the world, all ages, both genders, different backgrounds but unifying for BTS because of the music, the lyrics, the vibe, their personality, in all their songs you will always find what you like….BTS are legends 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜BTS/Army together the dream works. And as for a recommendation other than BTS, I recommend Shinee with the song Don’t call me, and one of the member named Taemin, his artistry is one of a kind, songs: Move, or Advise, Criminal, Want, Guilty.
I enjoy watching content creators who give BTS a chance! Thank you for your reaction! Many ARMY fam have already said so much quality input, I would be redundant. Enjoy and have fun! FIGHTING 💜
There's so much good content ahead of you! They've done so many genres and they're incredibly lovely people. Whatever you're interested in, as long as it can be done by 7 guys who love each other and try to bring beauty to the world, they've probably done it. That's not really an exaggeration. Mic Drop is so old school and it's really fun to watch people enjoying it now too 😁 and I love that you were watching one of their clapback diss tracks and you still picked up on the wholesome brotherly vibe. They kinda specialize in wholesome clapbacks honestly. They have a whole song with the chorus "you can't stop me loving myself" and another song about people wasting their perfectly good anger on hating celebrities instead of doing something useful with their lives. You fell for RM! He's very cool. They're all very cool. I'm excited for you 😅
I have a good opinion on all the members but to help you recognize them individually i'll share time stamps of each one in the song.The member @ 1:56 who you mention at the end is in all red is J-hope. He has a lot of positive energy that I feel that translates through his songs as well. The member at 2:46 is Suga, my bias, for many reasons that I could go on a tangent but one of them is his vulnerability in his lyrics that have helped people such as myself relate and understand more about the topics he raps about. The member at 3:38 is Jimin. He is a contemporary dancer and has a cute persona which may not always be considered a compliment but I very much enjoy that part of his personality. The guy @ 4:34 by now you know from all the comments is RM. He is the leader for a reason despite not being the oldest. He has an IQ 148, fluent in English, and has the respect of all other members. The member at 4:57 you are referring to is Jungkook the youngest in the group but a chameleon in talent. The member that joins him after is V he has a sultry voice amd I could listen to his layover album all day and not get sick of it lol. The guy at 5:14 is Jin. He is the oldest and normally would have to be addressed differently by all other members according to Korean customs but he forego's that option and has a friendly personality.
Brilliant reaction! I’m BTS Army & honestly, you won’t be disappointed by any of BTS’ music because they’re phenomenal & their music stretches across all genres. Their solo works are utterly brilliant too. For future reactions, I highly recommend Fire, War of Hormone & Idol - BTS. War Cry - &Team, IU - Love Wins All, Taemin - Guilty, Chasing That Feeling - TxT & Stray Kids - Gods Menu.
Your reaction to mic drop is amazing and bts stand for Bangtan Sonyeondan and us fans are called ARMY. There is a lot to learn about BTS you can watch the long guide to learn more on how they became a group and it explains each member. I look forward to more of your reactions 🙌💜 You loved RM who is the leader(everyday we vibin). Suga is the one who was in all white who also said to sue him. J hope was the one in all red who makes sure the choreography is on point for each performance. Those are the main rappers but Tae, Jimin, Jk can also rap but they are mainly vocals. Jin is the other vocalist hope you enjoy more of their music and react to them. 😊
Thank you so much for checking out BTS! The part you paused has 2 members on harnesses floating behind 1 of the rappers called Suga. BTS has o many genres you never know! I didn’t get a chance to read others comments, but it’s kinda a diss song they are singing about all their haters and how they don’t care about the haters anymore. Mic drop was also inspired by Obama’s speech where he dropped his mic at the end of his speech. Your comment about brotherly cool vibe is exactly them. Humble, giving, love each other like brothers and tease each other like brothers and more!😊💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I’m so excited to see you begin your BTS journey! You are gonna wonder why you haven’t discovered them sooner. I’ve been a HUGE fan for 3-4 yrs now. They have brought immeasurable joy to my life. I don’t know where I would be without them. I’ve been to one of their concerts, which was amazing. I’m in my 50s (my daughter was the one who introduced me to BTS), and there are fans of all ages out there who are ARMY (BTS fandom name). A few suggestions of BTS videos for you to watch are: Dope, Fake Love, DNA, Butter, Fire, Danger, Boy with Luv (ft. Halsey), Black Swan, Boy in Luv, Permission to Dance, Blood Sweat & Tears, Dynamite, Baepsae (Silver Spoon) dance practice, and BTS Tiny Desk Concert on NPR. Each member has solo music as well ~ Jungkook has Seven, 3D, and Standing Next To You from his Golden album. Jimin has such a unique angelic voice, and has songs such as Like Crazy, and Set Me Free. Jin has a wonderful song called The Astronaut. Suga (aka AgustD) is an amazing rapper and has a few albums out. RM’s album Indigo is really good. JHope’s album Jack in the Box is excellent. And V has an album out called Layover ~ his jazzy R&B tunes are so good and suit his vocals so well. I hope you can dig deep and really get to know the members. They are all different, but work together so well. It’s magical. Looking forward to more BTS from you ~ hope you enjoy! (New subscriber here!) 😊💜
BTS is a phenomenal group! Each member is unique and very talented! I’m an Army (fan) and I listen to them daily! With each song they seem to take it to a new level, though all their songs are fantastic! Keep critiquing them as you will find they are 🔥! My 7 loves!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜❤️
RM is the tall one who is the leader of BTS and speaks, reads and writes English very well. They all can interject in broken English. They write most of their own songs. Rappers are RM, Suga, (lead dancer) JHope, then the singers Jin, (main dancer and main singer) Jimin, V, (lead singer) Jungkook. They are a hit around the world. Their ARMY (fans) are very vast. They don't show their bodies in public (eh, sometimes it happens), they don't date in public, they're very respectful towards females and elders and well everyone. They even had their own TV serial show(s) in South Korea.
Wait until he discovers the rap line and what they can do together and solo. Strap in tight...it will be a hell of a ride!!!!! And the vocal line. I don't think they have found a type of music the guys can't do.
If you like the vibe of Mic Drop, I'd recommend checking out some of Suga's solo music, which he releases under the name AgustD. Start with the Daechwita MV.
I love to see reactions from people who are not from the fas army group because it helps to eliminate the stereotype that our bulletproof boys (BTS) are effeminate boys, without testosterone, who sing cool rhymes and who do little dances. BTS is beyond that and giving them a chance means overcoming numerous barriers of different sizes and shapes. Thank you for your honest really to the music video Mic Drop ❤
Thank you!! Also, though I'm not as knowledgeable as any ARMY or kpop fan rn, I see no reason to speak on them like "that". Quite the opposite so far yah know
BTS are the legend of k pop they paved the way for korean artist nd others to western media.there success is beyond imagination nd they hv the most powerful, protective fandom in the world known as ARMY .We are a huge fandom consisting of millions of ppl around the world in every catogory nd yes they r a family they treat each other like family nd hv the closest brother hood among them
BTS is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.
You don't know what you're going to get, but you know it's gonna be delicious ! ☺️
Love thid
This is the best description yet. 😊

STRAY KIDS KINGS LEGENDARY OF KPOP,,,,
This made me teary eye cause you described him so beautifully and true.
Hello, I'm a 57 year old BTS ARMY (fanbase), since 2020.
*Who is BTS?*
BTS = *B* ang *T* an *S* onyeondan = Korean for Bullet Proof Boy Scouts or Bangtan Boys. In an interview, band member J-Hope (rapper that opened the song, and also wore red outfit) revealed, “BTS has a profound meaning. ‘Bangtan’ means to be resistant to bullets, so it means to block out stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations that aim at adolescents like bullets, to preserve the values and ideal of today’s adolescents.” They are a seven member group that consists of 3 rappers, 4 vocalists, and they can all dance, rap, and sing. They are multi-talented artists that have become a Global Supergroup, paving the way for other K-POP Artists to have a platform in the Global music market.
*BTS and their company*
BTS debuted in South Korea as a HIP HOP IDOL Group on June 13, 2013, from a small, independent, start up company - Big Hit Entertainment. Because of BTS's success, the company grew and eventually split off into two companies. HYBE Labels Corp. - which is their business side, and parent company, and BIG HIT MUSIC (subsidiary of HYBE) - which is BTS's label and music production company. Big Hit Music has three main artists - BTS, TXT, and Lee Hyun (solo singer). BTS has an amazing underdog story, just like their company, and they both grew together.
*BTS's Music*
From the beginning, BTS's CEO gave them artistic freedom to create their own sound and to write and produce their own music. They were young when they signed on as trainees for Big Hit Ent. from 2010 to 2012, and they debuted in 2013 at the ages of 15 (Jungkook) to 20 (SUGA and JIN). Their CEO Bang Si-Hyuk, was like a mentor, big brother, father figure to them, and he and his production team guided them on their journey to becoming a cohesive group of seven artists. Their music started out as mostly HIP HOP and R&B styles, and that is their core and their roots. They are students of music and HIP HOP, As they grew as artists, their sound evolved and changed, and they started incorporating other genre's of music and experimenting with new sounds. BTS are known for crossing and fusing different genre's of music And they are not afraid to experiment with their sound and share their feelings or stories in their music. They are also known for covering controversial topics that aren't usually covered in K-POP. Like mental health, self love, social justice, societal expectation, etc.
*Wrap Up*
I hope the information I provided helps you to understand who BTS are a little better. For a more in depth understanding, if you are going to be continuing to react to BTS, I highly recommend an introduction video. Thanks for the reaction.
*Here are three guides that are all well put together*
I highly recommend Taylor's guide and then Boracity Magazine. Also a good one is Rice Squad, for their chronological story with their discography and accomplishments, but I think they leave a lot of information out, so I recommend the other two first. Taylors guide will give you a look each individual member, a summary of their accomplishments and story, and their relationship with their fanbase. The Boracity Magazine is an in depth look at their journey through their discography, from pre-debut of their chapter 1, and my favorite out ot the three. (Chapter 1 is their journey up until they went on a group break to do solo projects and mandatory military service. That is called chapter 2, and it started after their Anthology album release mid- 2022. They will be coming back together in 2025, as their new contract has been renewed with their agency Big Hit/HYBE.

noted!
The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS has a 2023 update fyi
@@TEEJ-9 I added the updated link in my original post
@@tracydowd4013 Ty
Wow you gave him the whole story yes I recommend Taylor's guide
The fact you felt that their vibe was brotherly, cool, and open-minded is exactly what BTS is. They are very versatile when it comes to music. They covered every genre of music. Always willing to try something new. They are amazing!
glad I hit the mark lol ready to get more familiar w/them
@@TEEJ-9You seem very perceptive. They have developed very deep bonds and consider each other family. They started off sharing a single room in a company dorm and lived together for almost a decade, with the older members, barely adult themselves “raising” the younger ones like true brothers would and sharing bigger apartments once their careers took off. The very definition of “living in each other’s pockets”. They show strong sibling energy and are often playful and openly affectionate.
"Who's that guy?"
Sir, that is Kim Namjoon aka RM (formerly known as Rap Monster) aka BTS leader aka the President of Kpop. Cutely called by ARMY as Namjoonie aka Joonie aka Joonbug aka Koala bear aka Monie etc. OH and also GOD OF DESTRUCTION.... he's the clumsiest of the group.
But not when rapping or making speeches because he's the best,only clumsy when they are at home relaxing.
aka after aka lol Noted! heard hah
@@TEEJ-9 we have many nicknames for each members cause we adore them that much
@@boramiii makes sense. I'll need to retain knowledge of both then
Love your Resumé Madame. Last line, still smiling.
Thanks for your wonderful reaction.
They are the biggest band in the world.
Here an overview about BTS:
BTS (in Korean "Bangtan Sonyeondan" means Bulletproof Boyscouts) consists of three rappers and four vocalists. All seven of them are excellent dancers.
Here is the list of their names:
RM - leader, main rapper
Jin - visual, vocals
SUGA - lead rapper
Jhope - dance leader, main dancer, rapper
Jimin - main dancer, lead vocals
V - visual, vocals
JK - main vocals, lead dancer
They do a wide variety of music, but basically they are rooted in hip-hop.
All seven members participate in making their songs by writing, composing, and producing them.
BTS started with a small company that almost went bankrupt, so they have been very looked down and hated by Korean broadcasting stations and other K-pop fandom. So they have struggled from the beginning to prove themselves.
Dynamite, Butter, Permission to Dance, these three songs were released in English to give positive energy to people around the world during the pandemic caused by Covid-19.
Most of their songs are in Korean, and their music video provides subtitles in several languages, including English. (Please turn on the subtitles while watching)
If you're interested in BTS's songs, here is a list of them:
Fake Love
FIRE
DNA
The lyrics of BTS' songs are based on their own experiences, and their albums are organic because they contain their growth narrative. BTS are famous for their deep and meaningful lyrics. They have written almost 95% of their songs from their discography.
BTS offers a wide range of genres when it comes to their music. As a group they are explosive but they are also individually amazing in their different style of music. They make a wide variety of genres of music like Hip-hop, Ballad, R&B, pop, EDM, etc. I'm sure there are quite a few of their over 300 songs that suit your taste. :) They have numerous world records to their names.
Another song I recommend is "Run BTS". Their is no official MV for this one, they have a dance practice video and their live performance from their free Busan concert.
Lastly, I think this video is the best to understand each BTS member. ;)

I would love to watch more of BTS reactions on your channel.
I hope you enjoy their whole discography.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
P.S: As of 12th of December 2023 all the members of BTS have enlisted for military service.
...Wow! Now this info piques my interest. I'll remember this and thanks for the link 🙏Much appreciated. This group has depth.
@@TEEJ-9You’ll really enjoy the guide recommended above if you want to know more about the guys. And you’re totally correct. They have a very close brotherly bond. 💜 Looking forward to more reactions.
Awesome comment! 😊👍💜
Apo Bangpo 💜
You have a lot of great info already provided. They are the best and Army loves them dearly. They have their own variety show and trip videos. In their country all men must serve 2 yrs of military and BTS were happy to serve their country which they love so much. They are great in sharing their culture and language and have their traditional values which are wonderful. They are humble, giving, modest and hilariously funny. I hope you enjoy your exploration and as we say “enjoy going down the rabbit hole” - we will be there too! 💜😊🫶🏽
If you formulate it like that:
RM is the main rapper
Jimin is also main dancer (BTS has two)
BTS is the ultimate underdog story IRL. Two of the rappers came out of the underground rap scene, another belonged to a street dance crew, etc... In 2014 they came to LA and worked with OG rappers Coolio and Warren G. They cover all genres of music, so we never know what to expect when they make a new comeback, but we know it's gonna be good.
Right now they are all in the Korean military (it's mandatory for all males) and they will be back together in 2025. 💜
"They seem like really cool dudes". You have NO idea who you have "stumbled upon". Not only are these guys cool, but also super talented singers and dancers. Actually, they are The Best group in the world. But don't take my word. I challenge you to dive deep. Right now, they are all in the South Korean military performing mandatory service. They won't be back together til the end of 2025. So you have time to catch up on their 10 years of content. Not only are they talented, but also very kind, humble, loving, and caring human beings. No egos. I also recommend you watch " A Guide to the BTS Members: Bangtan 7". You will want to know something about them and their names while you watch their videos. Just so you know they sing ALL genres. I know others are recommending other groups, but I challenge you to Dive Deep into BTS. Watch "Black Swan". A different genre. You will see their diversity. Welcome. We are here for you.
Guide to BTS is def on the list. I hear it's long, but that won't matter
ARMY love long videos so don't be afraid to pause and re-read the info and ask questions, we are here to help you through your BTS journey.@@TEEJ-9
its long yes 47 min something like that@@TEEJ-9 but there's a 3 hr guide for Seventeen i have watched multiple times to remember info so u will be fine
ARMYs don't mind long videos of our boys.@@TEEJ-9 😉
I'm a 59 year old ARMY 4RV. They are awesome, amazing, versatile and talented.
They are the kings of k-pop and have gone global. 3 rappers, 4 vocalists, great dancers, they do it all. They can do any genre.
You want dance - try Fire, Not Today, and Dope.
You want artistic - try Black Swan and Blood, Sweat & Tears.
You want pop - try Dynamite, Butter, and Permission to Dance.
You want to hear them live, my favorite is the Tiny Desk Concert.
They are amazing. It’s also entertaining to see their dance practices. They are a bit different than the music videos as they have to make it work on stage for their concerts
Nice and 2021 fiesta for live medley performance.
Thnx! These labels help pair w/whatever mood is present when its reaction time.
@@rubbingminds Hi, I think you meant 2021 Festa 💜 "[2021 FESTA] BTS (방탄소년단) BTS ROOM LIVE" czcams.com/video/RRhjdYsNwAk/video.html
Mic Drop is BTS' response to their haters with a little flexing on the side spitting facts...lol. wuth Suga's epic lines "tasteless ratatouille" & "sue it". I recommend you check their latest live performance of Mic Drop from their Yet To Come Busan concert last October 2022 where it was attended by 70k live audience and was livestreamed by over 50M worldwide causing the apps to crash from time to time but sooooo worth it. You will feel the same energy. 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
no way! adding it to the list
Also, it's vital to add here that this concert was ABSOLUTELY FREE for everyone!!!! Those in attendance and the ones watching at home❤❤🎉🎉❤❤🎉🎉❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
@@TEEJ-9 The energy from the BUSAN concert is off the charts - the live band is savage and the guys gave it their all, as the last live performance of all 7 before starting notary service.
Welcome to BTS. Enjoy your trip down the rabbit hole you will not be disappointed.
much appreciated🙏
I love it when people smile genuinely bc of BTS 💜
"BTS" stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan, which translates to 'Bulletproof Boy Scouts'
Originally, and it's important to know that since it's referenced in their lyrics. But when they rebranded (2018? ARMY, remind me), the company changed their logo and meaning. BTS now stands for Beyond The Scene.
@nebulablue2096 They didn't change the meaning, they *extended* the meaning. It means both things. They provided an English alternative...they didn't replace the name Bangtan.
Thank you, Ashley.
Thank you for your reaction to our beautiful men from a 67 year old army from the UK 💜💜
Yes, they will always be titled Bangtan Sonyeondan, even the 7 guys, Hybe, media, journalists, award shows, fans, non-fans & even haters will always say the original & only name of the band. It will always mean Bulletproof Boyscouts, because they are a military concept & theme from the very start when Bang PD put the music concept on paper around 2009. Once they return from conscription, assuming everything goes perfectly, they may become the only modern band in global history that will be both fictional & non-fictional military, unless you count marching bands in general. And they will now be part of 2 armies instead of just 1 as before. Big Time Soldiers 2025.

He is Mr. Kim Namjoon, Leader of BTS. Rapper, lyricist, song producer. You should listen his album Indigo and Ddaeng, Look here, Trivia: Love, Moonchild songs, Joke, Rap Monster songs. You will love him.
Fun fact time: Mic Drop was inspired by former President Obama's mic drop when he left office and while it might come off as cocky in terms of bragging you kind of need to know their story. These boys debuted in 2013, the youngest was ONLY 15, from a small company in Korea which didn't have any influence to help promote them like the big 3 did. Those companies are JYP, YG and SM who had a lot of media control and groups under those labels had the funding plus company names to make them big. BTS struggled A LOT and the sheer amount of hate thrown at them, which still is an ongoing issue, would make you sick. Mic Drop is their way of saying that they made it on their own merit, through years of hard work along with support from their fanbase known as ARMY, and that those haters can basically go piss off since they aren't worth the effort to acknowledge. The group has 3 rappers with 2 of them coming from the underground scene in Korea and 4 vocalists. Currently all 7 are serving their mandatory military enlistment with the full group planning to unite as 7 in 2025. Thankfully we'll get the oldest member Jin back in about 4 months with j-hope returning around September.
Edit: I couldn't help but add that BTS and their hard work has grown their small company into HYBE, formerly Big Hit Entertainment, which is now bigger than ALL 3 of those big companies. They did this as a single group up until 2019 when another boy group debuted under Big Hit.
Crazy! That actually is indeed a fun fact lol love this meaning behind the lyrics. I will def do lyric dives when I am a bit more comfortable behind the camera.
Thankyou sm for writing these things❤
“these guys are legit”
YES, SIR! #1 Band in the World. They are ALL in the military fulfilling their duty. 18 months for each. Will return to WORLD STAGE AS A GROUP in late 2025! Their ARMY cannot wait. Seven MJs
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜👑
i'm not a fan of BlackPink, though of course they are talented and driven.
However, compared to BP, who had a massive amount of finance behind them and great promotion from their company,
Thank you for exploring BTS - I enjoyed your reaction and your appreciation: it is fair to say though that you cannot be expected to know yet just how different BTS are. We all have to start somewhere, so I hope you continue to enjoy...
BTS are self made. Their company, Big Hit, had 20 staff when they started and were near bankruptcy at least once, on one occasion actually sending them home due to lack of funds (the rappers refused to go and somehow they got funds from somewhere - likely friends in the business). They debuted in 2013 as the only group under BH, and faced an enormous amount of abuse in Korea, plus xenophobia death threats around the world too.
in January 2020 BH rebranded as Hybe which is now the largest entertainment company in Korea. The BTS members were awarded shares as part of that launch - quite rightly, because Hybe was possible only through the work of BTS and the staff working with them.Artistically, BTS were one of the first idol groups to be as heavily involved with production as they are - up until them, most idols were given acts to perform and had little say - which I suspect was pretty frustrting. After BTS, things changed quite a bit, and many younger groups acknowledge that BTS paved the way for them not only in the west but also to some extent in Korea.
There are documentaries with information about idol groups. There must be one for BP, but for BTS I recommend, Introduction to BTS; the Bangtan 7 by the serendipitous Taylor Mari. This takes you to May 2022 : since then there have been multiple solo songs and albums, concerts and all are now enlisted for their mandatory military service and will all be back in 2025.
BTS stands for Bangtan Seonyeondan, pronounced Bangtan Sonyondan (Korean transliteration can be confusing) and that means Bulletproof Boyscouts. BTS aim since before debut was always to stand up for young people. Older Koreans can be viciously critical of young people and very demanding, so that criticism, demands, and complaints rain down on young people like bullets, and BTS want to stand in front of them and protect them. The 'feel' of their music has obviously matured in 10 years, but the underlying ethos remains the same. They modified the 'meaning' of BTS a few years ago to Bayond the Scene, but it has not lasted long - I find it unnecessary and meaningless.
I could give you a list of songs from their playlists of more than 350, but won;t. Others have already offered some. Now, when you pick another to play, it may be completely different from this, so you may be surprised. Get used to it. They offer all sorts of genres, and cover a myriad of subjects, nearly always deep and sometimes tough. Much tougher then BP - and perhaps deeper than any other idol group - though I think others are also now exploring more deeply.
Also just as a heads up - with BTS there is almost nothing that is unconsidered or is not deep. Many things have at least two meanings if not more. Many songs are coplex, using wordplay crossing between Korean and English (or Japanese), plus cultural and historical references that we can not know. So for many there are fan-made 'explanation' videos which are invaluable.
fyi Mic Drop is a response to the hate BTS commonly (still) get, trying to put them down and minimised their skill, talent, hard work, and achievements. Most of it is fairly transparent, but when you've heard it so many times, sometimes you miss things that are no onvious to newcommers.
BTS music is invariably fun, often hilarious, but usually has more than one thing gong on. MVs can be a complex drama, and some cover painful trauma. Add to that the plethora of other media, game shows, travel films, Vlogs and Vlives with fans ....
Will def get around to these documentaries. I'm VERY big on lyrics and depth, so once my personality suppressed camera shy phase dissipates👊I'm def going to delve into these BTS lyrics
@@TEEJ-9 Use Doolset lyrics (a labor of love with bilingual lyrics plus linguistic and cultural notes) and DKDKTV for explainer videos by a Korean native speaker. Loved your reaction and will be back for more.
@@TEEJ-9 You are in for a treat! The rappers excel at wordplay, especially RM, and almost every song they make can be interpreted in multiple ways. The guys release explanations of what the songs mean *to them* but they also urge the listener to interpret them in any way that's meaningful. 'Fake Love', for example, can refer to someone facing the fact that the relationship they thought they had was built on falsity, but it can also be seen as someone confronting the fact that they themself have been 'wearing a mask', hiding their real selves from the world. 'Danger', on the surface, is a guy telling his girlfriend to stop messing around with his emotions and playing head-games, but underneath it's a rather bitter rant at the music shows and television programs that called them in when an extra act or backup dancers were needed, then ignored them or cut their performances when they were supposed to perform as scheduled.
Some of their songs require explanations from Korean-speakers to get all the cultural references and shades of meaning; you'll find some good explanation vids here on YT. And some just require more explanation because they weave back to earlier references. You can find a lot of interpretation sites, but Doolset is one of the best, and Genius Lyrics has a lot of input from long-time fans. There are also a lot of visual clues and Easter eggs in music videos; we're not called 'eagle-eyed ARMY' for nothing. But don't worry too much about that yet; it takes time to get used to watching the MV and reading the subs AND catching all the background details.
Oh, and don't rely on hair color or hairstyle to tell them apart. Hair color and style are more indicators of which album they were promoting/performing than anything else! Mic color and singing/rapping voice are the best way I've found to learn them. They all have very distinctive voices, a nice rarity for a music group.
@@kshafer6220 I comprehend yah! Also I'll surely be able to identify them withing a few weeks or hopefully after I watch these documentaries ARMYs are recommending me react to.
Thankyou so much for writing those things. I am touched as an army. I got to know a lot of new things. It's amazing that you took sm effort to write this❤
That was our Leader and President Kim Namjoon aka RM✊🏼👑💜
BTS is the biggest group in the world, and by far the biggest thing ever to come out of S Korea. They are bigger than the whole rest of the KPop industry combined. They literally brought in as much money with a single concert as the Pyongyang Winter Olympics in S Korea did. They came up against incredible odds as the ultimate underdogs on a tiny indie label that prized artistic freedom and integrity and the artist's voice, pitted against a corrupt S Korean and global music industry.
They were essentially the only artists at their label and now it's the biggest one in S Korea, all built on their blood, sweat and tears the last 11 years. Yet they remain the most grounded, humble, kind, fun (and funny), sweet, loving and dedicated artists, in love with one another as a family and with their fanbase, ARMY. Like seriously, seriously devoted to ARMY. They love us as much as we love them, and regularly get emotional about it.
All their music is storytelling and all their albums are concept albums. They are definitely a thinking person's band, with the depth of their storytelling. You can enjoy the music on a surface level, because it's just damned good, or delve deeper into the stories. The lyrics are storytelling. The music video visuals are storytelling. Their choreography is storytelling. Even their song structures contribute to the storytelling. They tell stories on each track that are in line with the themes of concept albums, as well as another layer that is their personal stories, and a further layer that are universal stories everyone can relate to. Some of their music also tells additional stories related to the BU (The Bangtan Universe) which is the supernatural psychological mystery that runs through multiple albums and also has clues revealed slowly in other multimedia like books, their webtoons, MVs, short films, their mobile game BTS World, album notes, and other places. There is a KDrama in post-production based on the BU now as well. In the BU, all the guys play fictional characters of their same name, and deal with a lot of relatable and serious issues like poverty, domestic abuse, mental and physical health challenges, etc.
They cover many genres such as Rap, Hip Hop, Pop, R&B, Jazz, Neo soul, Rock, Pop Rock, Latin Pop, EDM, Synth Dance, Ballads, and more. They address subjects such as mental health, socio-economic and socio-political issues, current events, grief, loss, loneliness and alienation, generational conflicts, love in all it's phases and types from romantic and fated to toxic and broken to familial and self, personal stories and more, and they draw inspiration from sources including psychology, philosophy, literature, classic and fine visual arts, history, science, multiple cultures both modern and ancient, religions and mythos, and more. All this wrapped up in some of the best performers, dancers, singers, rappers, songwriters, producers and composers in the industry.
Their scope and range are seriously like nothing you have ever seen before, because it's like nothing that's been done before. They are more than a once in a lifetime group. They are more like a once in forever group. I doubt we will ever see their like again. They get compared to the Beatles, just in scope and scale because there is no one else that comes close, and indeed they have already broken some of the Beatles records. But really, they are very different and also don't have the benefit of being white, English-speaking guys from the west with a western label.
I hope you have a great time exploring their discography. They have hundreds and hundreds of songs. They have released 20 albums as a group, 11 solo albums among various members, plus many other collabs, OSTs, singles and unofficial releases in the last 11 years. They are the hardest working group in the business. No matter what you like, they are likely to have something that appeals to you. And if, like me, you like many genres, then they have a LOT you will love. It's just damned good music.
They are currently all serving their mandatory military service in S Korea and we expect a comeback in 2025 - which is going to be INSANE....because ARMY is legion. We are in many, many countries all over the globe. They have 76 million followers just on Spotify alone. They sell out the biggest stadiums in the world, everywhere in the world, in minutes.
Welcome!
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Heard! and thanks!
You're actually spot on in your assessment of them: Legit, inclusive and brotherly.
They started with two underground rappers and a street dancer topped with a vocal line that more or less started singing from scratch. They're the ultimate rags to riches story which has not only brought them really close together but also made them stay super humble and inclusive all the way. They're about the music, not the genre, so between them you'll find anything from neosoul to battle style rap. And as a bonus they're funny AF as well. 🤣 Take a chance on them - you won't be disappointed! Try Black Swan or Airplane pt 2 for something completely different from the whole group.
- a danish ARMY, age 48 💜
Nicee! thnk u
Check the Rap line...
BTS Cyphers 1, 2, 3, & 4
RM - Joke, Do You, Persona, Seoul, Trivia: Love, Closer
Suga (Agust D) - Daechwita, Seesaw (live performance), Moonlight
J Hope - Day Dream, Airplane, Chicken Noodle Soup, Outro: Ego, More
BTS songs that have an r&b vibe...
Jimin - Serendipity, Filter (live performance)
V - Singularity, Love Me Again, For Us
Jungkook - Euphoria, My Time, Still With You
BTS - Black Swan, Home (Jimmy Fallon performance), Make It Right feat Lauv, Dimple live performance
Bet!
The guy who did a solo before stepping back and joining another guy is Jeon Jungkook, the youngest of the band and the guy he stepped back to dance with is Kim Taehyung.
The guy that really caught your eye is RM and his real name is Namjoon (Kim Namjoon) He used to go by Rap Monster by now goes by Real Me. He’s the leader of the group but all contribute together. He’s a genius philosopher and extremely clumsy, The guy that was dancing all in red is J-Hope who the Dance Leader and has a sunny disposition though he gets to show a different side of himself on his newest solo album Jack in the box, the guy w the bandana in coloured clothes is V and he’s been part of the dance line since 2018 and is part of the vocal line who loves jazz and R&B, the guy in all white is Suga (aka August-D …Suga spelled backwards and dt meaning his home town Daegu where he goes by this name as his alter ego),all black was Jungkook and is the youngest whose also the main vocalist and part of the dance line, Jimin is a contemporary and hip hop dancer and he’s part of the dance line and vocal line known for his angelic high voice, Jin who you didn’t mention is the eldest and started as the Visual of the group who is also pat of the vocal line. In the beginning RM and Suga did a lot of the writing. Suga produces a lot and also for other people. Now, all of them write, produce. New subscriber from this! Thank you💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🫶🏼
Bts have the nastiest fits they def inspo my closet ‼ Banger reaction brodie🔥
Believable. Preciate it bro!
Besides being extremely talented, these are 7 humans who embody what’s good in the world.
I like the sound of that
This is RM, the leader of BTS. By the way, if you didn't know, BTS is the biggest group in the world. Check out Joke, Do you and Persona from RM. There's a Guide to BTS (by Taylor Mary). You should check it out. Every Army (fan of BTS) has seen this documentary. It shows what they achieved, how they became big, who the members are and it shows a glimse of their work. By the way, they all have solo peojects next to BTS. All members of BTS are currently serving in the military. It's mandatory in South Korea. They have to enlist for 18 months. They will be reunited in June 2025 to continue their activities. Don't you worry, there's enough content to keep you busy for years. Another thing, every BTS song has a deeper meaning. The lyrics are not just lyrics but the must be analysed. Most of the songs, if not all of the video's even have explanation video's.
BTS is a journey I will never regret embarking on. Their songs are so freeing, fun and inspiring. Can’t wait for them all to get back 💜
Welcome to BTS !! Tq for this reaction..RAPline RM💜SUGA💜JHOPE💜 VOCALline JIN💜V💜JK💜JIMIN..incredible talented as a group or solo🔥🔥🔥
MIC Drop is the song that made me ARMY. :) There are a few versions of the song. The original is all in Korean, but they made the MV to the Steve AOKI remix where they changed the chorus to English. There is also a version that has an into feature by Designer. They have performed this a lot live and there is a killer award show performance that has two dance breaks. You can watch the dance practice for that performance and see the full amazing choreography.
Yeah, I for sure need to check those out
It is always so fun to watch a reaction like this! A baby ARMY on the way down the rabbit hole. You will probably hear this a lot in comments, but we like it when you go slow, pause, rewind, and we never complain about a long reaction. We do complain when important (to us, lol) details are missed. Also, most of us ARMIES think of BTS as somewhat outside the Kpop genre, both because of their innovation and world tier talent, and because they stand for WAY more than entertainment . For a lot of us they have become role models and touchstone for sanity in this crazy world. Thanks and looking forward to more BTS from you.
Much appreciated! I'll start using "integrated content" or something of the sort instead
@@TEEJ-9 Oh it's ok don't worry "Kpop" is easier, but be prepared for a fuller experience. Borahae!

The tight guy with the cool walk is our leader RM ( Kim Namjoon )
The guy you asked about he is KIM NAMJOON leader of BTS
The full of BTS is Bangtan Sonyeondeon means Bulletproof boys
BTS has the most diverse catalog of music . Their group or solo music is amazing
Every one of them has a special kind of amazing personality and kindness they are so loved
Really loved! and I've only witnessed not even a fraction of it
You should watch A Guide to BTS and BTS Hardships to get to know each member and how they started. You will definitely see them differently.
Yes cool and even I a 67 yr old white Canadian would LOVE to meet them! I went down the BTS rabbit hole a few years ago. Now count myself a true fan. Talented, hardworking and supremely humble.
Thank you for this reaction! They are amazing, aren’t they?
Very happy you discovered BTS : you’re about to enter another World full of surprises
Have a nice trip with them and with us, proud Army (BTS fandom)💜
Army is very diverse too more Than you can imagine : as for me I’ll be 58 next week, litterature teacher in France and presenting conferences on Pop culture and K-pop always with BTS songs as they have the deepest meanings and references : a piece of cake!
Hope you’ll have more BTS reactions! 😊
Those are my 7 kingz of KPop they are so cool and their music has meaning mental health depression and more that's what they sing about that's y ARMY loves them so much BTS 4 LIFE BABY
BTS is an amazing group! BTS stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan which means bullet proof boyscouts. There are three rappers RM is the one you pointed out in the red jacket. He's the leader of the group and he writes a lot of their songs along with Suga (singing about sorry mom) Suga is one of their main producers as well. The last rapper is J-Hope, he is the one who started the song. He's their main dancers as well. The four vocalists - Jungkook (JK) is the main vocalist (all black), Jimin is another amazing dancer (goldish jacket), V has the headband, and Jin who does the directing part in the mv. They are all really amazing. I'm glad you liked the mv. They have a huge discography with many different genres. I would recommend On, Black Swan, Blood Sweat and Tears. They've all released solo albums in the past year which as all brilliant as well. 💜💜💜💜💜
black swan & guide coming soon
You've already reacted to the two biggest groups, and you picked good songs for each so I'm pretty happy! If no one has told you yet, all of the groups also do a dance practice or dance performance video that showcases the choreo and sometimes has filming as good as the music video! One of Blackpinks dance performances actually has more views than the MV itself.
I'm sure both of these have already come up, but I will recommend anything by Stray Kids or G idle!
Gotcha. Also this Straykids keep popping up...def hype to get around to them
Thank you for your reaction!! Next you should watch : a guide to bts taylor Mari .
You will get to know each member individually! Thanks ☺️
Love your reactions!!! BTS are who got me into K-pop 3 years ago! I’ve never looked back. They are my inspiration and they bring me and millions of others so much joy.
😭much appreciated! full BTS week incoming
BTS is my happiness and joy all in one group. They are the most talented and diverse skillset of any musician i can think of modernly. They stay humble and treat everyone with the respect that they DIDNT get when they were up and coming. They always support new groups and cheer for the success of others. I hope you enjoy the ride that is getting to know BTS.
This song uses practical effects all the way thru, barely any green screen CGM real explosions & real fire, attached cables yanking them up & flying
them thru the air
You're right. They are very chill and brotherly dudes who get along with pretty much anyone who gives them the space to do so. They're known for being very likable and kind people even among celebrities who share stories about meeting them (even privately). Even their ex-staff speak well of them. They weren't always treated kindly so they make an effort to treat others well and make sure no one feels left out or ignored around them. They've honestly made me try harder in my friendships and relationship with my family after I saw the effort they put into their own little found family unit.
FYI the story is black, pink debuted in 2016 in 2023 their seven-year contract with YG entertainment expired story is 2 members re-signed with the label two members left one member is starting her own music label. BTS debuted under big hit entertainment in 2013 then the company was going bankrupt! At that time BTS was the only group they had. My around 2017 BTS had turned the bankrupt big hit entertainment into one of the most profitable music labels in Korea they already owned several other music labels in 2021 they reorganized into HYBE corporation specializing in all aspects and areas of entertainment industry. Several divisions and subsidiaries one being HYBE labels owning 6 Music labels. one in Korea 1 in Japan one in the United States which in turn owns another one in the United States. with artists such as Justin Bieber Ariana Grande the weekend red Hot Chili Peppers add two or three dozen more in the United States. 7th day debuting in 2013 BTS resigned with big hit entertainment in 2018 for another seven years which is up in 2025 however before all the members of BTS enlisted in mandatory military service in Korea they resigned for a third contract another seven years starting in June 2025 when they will be discharged from the military. They have been nominated for five Grammys one numerous awards billboard Music Awards American Music Awards they won artist of the year and 2022 at the American Music Awards. Collaborations with Halsey Coldplay Steve Aoki usher Jack Harlow Benny Blanco and Snoop Dogg Ed Sheeran and many other western artists. Invited to give speeches at the United Nations General Assembly in 2018, 2020, 2021.
Performed on New Year's Eve 2019 in New York City new year's rocking eve! shut down grand central terminal New York City to perform for the tonight show starring Jimmy Fallon.
First group since The Beatles to have three albums at #1 on billboard in less than one year! In the last two years 6 members of BTS add albums and songs debut in the top 10 top five and at #1 on billboard when they release their first solo albums. More than 1/2 dozen group songs at #1 on billboard! Approaching 750 awards at award shows in 10 years!
Blackpink did renew their contract with YG for group activities only but none of them renewed for individual activities. And both Jennie and Lisa have started their own music companies.
lore! These feats are insane.
@@TEEJ-9 They weren't lying when they said their bags are hella thicc with too many trophies to count.
Yaay! Thank you for reacting with respect and an open mind♥ I hope you enjoy your journey into Kpop. Thank you for the subtitles as well! So much easier for non-english speakers to follow
Bts is my fav group and i like their music the most.💜
You nailed the personality of the group. Because of all the hate and how they were looked down on those struggles created a solid brotherly bond, which we’re fortunate enough to see since they share so much with us
The guy you wanted to have identified is RM the leader of the group. Real name Kim Namjoon. And you're right...he's cool and verifiable high IQ. Enjoyed your reaction!
thanks!
That is our leader Namjoon, I have to warn you though our boys are Hella talented so you are in for the ride of your life🤣🤣 Armyyyyy Borahae🤴💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🤴 OT7
I have some suggestions of songs to react to from the members of BTS
ON, Fake Love, Blood Sweat & Tears, Born Singer, Black Swan, Sugas Interlude ft Halsey, Angel ft. Kodak Black
RM-Wildflower, Closer, Lonely
V-Rainy Days
JHope-On the Streets ft J Cole
Jimin-Like Crazy, Set me Free Part 2, Vibe
Jungkook-Seven, Standing next to you
Nice! I'll jot those down. This is the first time I've seen their names lol Will connect each to the right member today. Thnx
V also has Love me again,For us, singularity,sweet night
The list of songs by individual members are their newer stuff. Jin was not mentioned ...he has a contemporary rock style (songs Ephiphany, Abyss, Astronaut). Suga has the largest discography (songs: Daechwita, Shadow Interlude, Amygdala, Snooze, Haegum, D-Day, Agust-D, Set Me Fre Pt1, People, etc etc...) and is one of BTS's main producers (won an award and all). Nice to see a new reactor (not a nuclear reactor 😂) ok bad joke. Will subscribe. Later!!
BTS are the biggest group in the world. Their numbers overshadow the entirety of kpop combined. What sets BTS apart is their diverse discography and artistic integrity. They write, produce, and compose a lot of their music, and are involved with every element of the creation process. This is an anomaly in kpop for the last decade or so, where most groups are strictly manufactured and have no involvement in the songs beyond being mouthpieces. Since rappers who don't write their lyrics aren't real rappers, it was especially important for the 3 rappers of BTS to represent hip hop and rap genuinely and write their own lyrics. Again, groups you reacted to before aren't like this and those groups have their lyrics written for them, and it shows because there's very little care given to good writing for those groups. BTS' leader has talked about the movement in the industry where many listeners don't pay attention to lyrics, but he feels it's important. BTS has proven you can have silly songs just meant to blast in the car to enjoy the sound, but it is not mutually exclusive with also having songs with great depth and meaning. BTS also has some of the best dancers and singers in the industry. You can't go wrong.
Since BTS' rise, some groups have demonstrated their involvement with the creation of the music. If this is BTS' success sending a message to companies to let other idols have a say or just coincidence, IDK. BTS wasn't exclusively the group to write songs, but inarguably the most involved and most prolific. Mamamoo, Stray Kids, G-idle come to mind as other groups who are involved in their own music.
The respect is through the roof!
The man you're asking about is the leader of the group/member of the rap line and his name is RM/Rap Monster (early years Rap Monster and now it's RM seeing they debuted over 10yrs ago. He also is very philosophical and a deep thinker. The guy in all black with the hat and moves you like is Jungkook and he is apart of the vocal line. Every member of BTS has their own unique twist and talent that they bring to the group. BTS stands for Bangtan Sonyeontan. Thanks for the awesome reaction, another song you should definitely check out seeing you liked this song so much is N.O. You will enjoy it too.
Late to see n comment ~ THANK YOU For reacting and enjoying our #BTS 🔥😎
In the last 2 years, it’s been the solo era as they all had to do a mandatory 18 months in the Korean military. My favorite 3 put out the following:
Jungkook (JK) does English pop and he sometimes collabs with American artists. My recent favorite is with Usher “Standing Next to You.”
V is very smooth R&B vibes - my favorite is Slow Dancing.
Jin only had time for one song before he enlisted - the Astronaut. BTS is close to Coldplay and they co-wrote this song.
They also did a song and video with Coldplay called My Universe. It’s a great mv!
Thats news! I grew up listening to Coldplay
they are friends.@@TEEJ-9
Cool reaction. I just came across this video after reacting to the BTS guide video and have to admit your reaction is good. Bts music is really versatile and they have different kinds of vibes in all of their songs. Waiting for another reaction video to BTS
Yaaaaaz we got another one! Keep going with bts! 💜👍
Will do! 😅
fyi 1 of the inspiration for the song was rm watching president obama's speech to congress & national press club where he dropped the mic at the end of his speech.
Our precious talented dorks debuted in 2013 so you definitely got a long way to go on their massive discography! What music genre or mood are you in? ARMYs can totally make some suggestions. Aside from their group projects, they also have solo projects, unit projects, collaborations etc...many many layers of absolute masterpieces. Keep in mind that their roots are in hip hop, but as they've evolved as Artists , they've dabbled with many sounds. Welcome to BTS x HYBE x ARMY global family. 💜
Btw...."Mic Drop" was inspired by a speech from former president Barack Obama. Dude with the white background that you asked about...that's our precious President Kim Namjoon aka RM. He's the writer/rapper/Composer who was inspired by Obama's speech. Our dude is a poet. All 7 members of BTS are extremely versatile in their crafts...their art...their music. 💜🎶
Luckily someone was very considerate and labeled up to 9 songs w/their respective mood! ARMYs know their stuff for sure.
You should check out the Mic Drop Dance Practice and Bangtan Bomb 'Mic Drop' Special Stage (BTS focus) @2017 MBC - BTS
-- With the Dance Practice you can see the dance break and the live version, you can hear the fans.
You said who's this guy everything was perfect
He's the father of k-pop... Call daddy namjoon 🥺.. he's my heart ❤
My everything
He's Kim Namjoon, the leader of the supergroup, BTS. He's a rapper, producer, songwriter, poet, and a literal genius with an IQ of 148. He's fluent in 3 languages and taught himself English by watching the show Friends. He's given speeches at the UN and the White House.
damn! and I've never heard of anyone teaching themselves by watching Friends...wild
This is the first video I ever saw of BTS! I became an instant ARMY after that. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Brotherly and open minded! You are exactly right. That’s how BTS is.💜 Excellent and authentic reaction!
Thank you!
For Army, BTS is our brothers, friends, grand sons, etc…BTS is family for Army, we support, we protect, we love, we are millions of people coming from all over the world, all ages, both genders, different backgrounds but unifying for BTS because of the music, the lyrics, the vibe, their personality, in all their songs you will always find what you like….BTS are legends 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜BTS/Army together the dream works.
And as for a recommendation other than BTS, I recommend Shinee with the song Don’t call me, and one of the member named Taemin, his artistry is one of a kind, songs: Move, or Advise, Criminal, Want, Guilty.
I enjoy watching content creators who give BTS a chance! Thank you for your reaction! Many ARMY fam have already said so much quality input, I would be redundant. Enjoy and have fun! FIGHTING 💜
Thanks you kindly
There's so much good content ahead of you! They've done so many genres and they're incredibly lovely people. Whatever you're interested in, as long as it can be done by 7 guys who love each other and try to bring beauty to the world, they've probably done it. That's not really an exaggeration.
Mic Drop is so old school and it's really fun to watch people enjoying it now too 😁 and I love that you were watching one of their clapback diss tracks and you still picked up on the wholesome brotherly vibe.
They kinda specialize in wholesome clapbacks honestly. They have a whole song with the chorus "you can't stop me loving myself" and another song about people wasting their perfectly good anger on hating celebrities instead of doing something useful with their lives.
You fell for RM! He's very cool. They're all very cool. I'm excited for you 😅
ready for more and to get into deep dives w/them & ARMY
I have a good opinion on all the members but to help you recognize them individually i'll share time stamps of each one in the song.The member @ 1:56 who you mention at the end is in all red is J-hope. He has a lot of positive energy that I feel that translates through his songs as well. The member at 2:46 is Suga, my bias, for many reasons that I could go on a tangent but one of them is his vulnerability in his lyrics that have helped people such as myself relate and understand more about the topics he raps about. The member at 3:38 is Jimin. He is a contemporary dancer and has a cute persona which may not always be considered a compliment but I very much enjoy that part of his personality. The guy @ 4:34 by now you know from all the comments is RM. He is the leader for a reason despite not being the oldest. He has an IQ 148, fluent in English, and has the respect of all other members. The member at 4:57 you are referring to is Jungkook the youngest in the group but a chameleon in talent. The member that joins him after is V he has a sultry voice amd I could listen to his layover album all day and not get sick of it lol. The guy at 5:14 is Jin. He is the oldest and normally would have to be addressed differently by all other members according to Korean customs but he forego's that option and has a friendly personality.
Brilliant reaction! I’m BTS Army & honestly, you won’t be disappointed by any of BTS’ music because they’re phenomenal & their music stretches across all genres. Their solo works are utterly brilliant too.
For future reactions, I highly recommend Fire, War of Hormone & Idol - BTS. War Cry - &Team, IU - Love Wins All, Taemin - Guilty, Chasing That Feeling - TxT & Stray Kids - Gods Menu.
Your reaction to mic drop is amazing and bts stand for Bangtan Sonyeondan and us fans are called ARMY. There is a lot to learn about BTS you can watch the long guide to learn more on how they became a group and it explains each member. I look forward to more of your reactions 🙌💜 You loved RM who is the leader(everyday we vibin). Suga is the one who was in all white who also said to sue him. J hope was the one in all red who makes sure the choreography is on point for each performance. Those are the main rappers but Tae, Jimin, Jk can also rap but they are mainly vocals. Jin is the other vocalist hope you enjoy more of their music and react to them. 😊
Thanks for being genuine and not overreacting for views like some others do.
Thank you! Not being myself would be so exhausting
Subscribed! Welcome to BTS rabbit hole 😁 I started last year this month and I am full on Army 💜 you’re gonna love them and their music 👏🏼
Much appreciated!
THIS guy is one and only
RM, leader of BTS... also known as Rap Monster 😅
rap monster? Keeping an eye out from now on
Thank you so much for checking out BTS! The part you paused has 2 members on harnesses floating behind 1 of the rappers called Suga. BTS has o many genres you never know! I didn’t get a chance to read others comments, but it’s kinda a diss song they are singing about all their haters and how they don’t care about the haters anymore. Mic drop was also inspired by Obama’s speech where he dropped his mic at the end of his speech. Your comment about brotherly cool vibe is exactly them. Humble, giving, love each other like brothers and tease each other like brothers and more!😊💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I'll need to see this clip of Obama dropping the mic for sure. Just to refresh meh memory
Subscribed , want to see you go deeper into the rabbit hole that is bts
About to dive in...no parachute lol
We love our 7 KINGS! WELCOME TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF BTS!
Much appreciated
I’m so excited to see you begin your BTS journey! You are gonna wonder why you haven’t discovered them sooner. I’ve been a HUGE fan for 3-4 yrs now. They have brought immeasurable joy to my life. I don’t know where I would be without them. I’ve been to one of their concerts, which was amazing. I’m in my 50s (my daughter was the one who introduced me to BTS), and there are fans of all ages out there who are ARMY (BTS fandom name). A few suggestions of BTS videos for you to watch are: Dope, Fake Love, DNA, Butter, Fire, Danger, Boy with Luv (ft. Halsey), Black Swan, Boy in Luv, Permission to Dance, Blood Sweat & Tears, Dynamite, Baepsae (Silver Spoon) dance practice, and BTS Tiny Desk Concert on NPR. Each member has solo music as well ~ Jungkook has Seven, 3D, and Standing Next To You from his Golden album. Jimin has such a unique angelic voice, and has songs such as Like Crazy, and Set Me Free. Jin has a wonderful song called The Astronaut. Suga (aka AgustD) is an amazing rapper and has a few albums out. RM’s album Indigo is really good. JHope’s album Jack in the Box is excellent. And V has an album out called Layover ~ his jazzy R&B tunes are so good and suit his vocals so well. I hope you can dig deep and really get to know the members. They are all different, but work together so well. It’s magical. Looking forward to more BTS from you ~ hope you enjoy! (New subscriber here!) 😊💜
thank you! and we're def gonna dig deep
welcome to the rabbit hole my friend!! ☺
That guy's name is RM, his real name is 'Kim Namjoon.. And he is BTS' s leader....
That was RM the leader
Yes they're super down to earth
BTS is a phenomenal group! Each member is unique and very talented! I’m an Army (fan) and I listen to them daily! With each song they seem to take it to a new level, though all their songs are fantastic! Keep critiquing them as you will find they are 🔥! My 7 loves!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜❤️
You are pure mega cool Teej. Thank you. x
Thank you!😭
RM is the tall one who is the leader of BTS and speaks, reads and writes English very well. They all can interject in broken English. They write most of their own songs. Rappers are RM, Suga, (lead dancer) JHope, then the singers Jin, (main dancer and main singer) Jimin, V, (lead singer) Jungkook.
They are a hit around the world. Their ARMY (fans) are very vast. They don't show their bodies in public (eh, sometimes it happens), they don't date in public, they're very respectful towards females and elders and well everyone.
They even had their own TV serial show(s) in South Korea.
show(s)? sheesh got long ways to go w/these guys. lets goo!
They are the bomb.. I love them.. Totally.. And thx 🤗💜
Wait until he discovers the rap line and what they can do together and solo. Strap in tight...it will be a hell of a ride!!!!! And the vocal line. I don't think they have found a type of music the guys can't do.
interest piqued
@@TEEJ-9 My favorite...BTS OUTRO: TEAR Live Performance. You will feel their pain.
@@patwalker5133 Oh shii! Let me add that to the list
😭😭 it's 2024 and bro be watching out BTS rn but I'm real gladd you did😭😭
If you like the vibe of Mic Drop, I'd recommend checking out some of Suga's solo music, which he releases under the name AgustD. Start with the Daechwita MV.
I like your attentivenes to the MV and the song. Keep it up. Subbed for more BTS 💜
Much appreciated1
I love to see reactions from people who are not from the fas army group because it helps to eliminate the stereotype that our bulletproof boys (BTS) are effeminate boys, without testosterone, who sing cool rhymes and who do little dances. BTS is beyond that and giving them a chance means overcoming numerous barriers of different sizes and shapes.
Thank you for your honest really to the music video Mic Drop ❤
Thank you!! Also, though I'm not as knowledgeable as any ARMY or kpop fan rn, I see no reason to speak on them like "that". Quite the opposite so far yah know
I’m sure someone has already told you but the dancer you asked about is Jungkook, aka JK, the youngest. Amazing dancer and performer
BTS are the legend of k pop they paved the way for korean artist nd others to western media.there success is beyond imagination nd they hv the most powerful, protective fandom in the world known as ARMY .We are a huge fandom consisting of millions of ppl around the world in every catogory nd yes they r a family they treat each other like family nd hv the closest brother hood among them
This is bigger than my imagination can conjure rn, I see
Teej, you gotta check out their performance for the melon music awards in 2018. They made the MMAs their own concert. I promise you won't regret it ❤
More BTS reactions! That was great!
From technicolor bubblegum to this (a letter to their haters)…and everything in between.
I loveeee BTS, here for more reactions please 💜💜💜
