Should I bring the emotional support soundbard back for Pt. 2?
Essential from now on, sir! 😁
Yes 🔥
Yes sir! Cuts the denial bs from Varnell instantly 😂😂😂
That and the conversion meter are now standard practice.
Yes!! It's the official sidekick. 😎
"Suga got me ITCHIN!" -varnell
As a 66 year young widow (of Mexican descent), Suga, after Agust D, became my open BIAS!!!!!!!
Be proud of your bias once you pick one!!! 💜
bias wrecker alert 😂
and we love that 😺✋🤚
I know this is not really within the scope of what you've been doing so far, but this sort of reaction is exactly what has me _dying_ to experience Varnell experiencing one of the D-Day concerts
yes
Varnell looks like his ARMY conversion is a literal physical change. The way he's squirming, you'd think he's about to turn into a werewolf 🤣🤣
Oh no!!! He's about to turn into the monster bora minions- MEDIC MEDIC 😂😂😂😂😂😂

8:40 “that’s your bias” PROCEEDS TO KICK HIS FEET LMAOOO VARNELL BABYGIRL I LOVE HIM
He‘s just like us😂
He's not a fan, but almost cries when he found out about them almost breaking up.
ppi-ppi is a korean sound word for beep beep, aka Jhope is saying girls are calling him so his phone keeps beeping. Some of the lyrics are hard to understand with the one-to-one translation cuz they need an explanation haha
Pippi is also a reference to Pippi Longstocking funnily enough
In balkan its something else😂
@@lepoticazver257 Yea, most everywhere else, too...
but even this is not the only possible interpretation, another is that he is censoring what the girls call him
@@kabazinga There are so many possible meanings to this line.
He reached "RM can do no wrong" pretty quickly tbh. That's your point of no return 😂💜💜💜
11:07:11 "they sold it out?" man, not only sold out on pre-sale, but needed to rent another venue to live stream the concert
for sofi, forgot to say it
after what we saw in Busan 2022? they could sell out rose bowl easily
Didn't they also have to (or more like they could and did) open a third date? Or was it another stadium?
@@vaneclp2 they already did that...
He said he gotta check out thw concert..but ohhhh the tickets are harder to get than ever!

I know Varnell spends his downtime at home in his Koya headband, waving his bootleg ARMY bomb off Amazon, while looping the cyphers. You can’t convince me otherwise.

I say...he's Joon biased w/ Suga as his bias wrecker! 😀
And then it ends up OT7
20:52 we need put a time stamp on that
BTS said the main reason they considered disbanding was because they became too big and the pressure was too much. They never expected or anticipated to blow up like they did, Agust D even said that after their first AMA performance he cried in the shower, not because he was happy but because he never wanted to become this big and famous.
They all came from small towns across Korea and started making music in this tiny label, living together sharing one bedroom and suddenly they're the biggest act to ever come out of S.K and one of the biggest artists in the world. People expect them to represent all of S.K, the president is congratulating them and makes them his presidential envoys and gives them diplomatic passports, they speak at the UN three times, people want them to be and act like diplomats, they're winning huge awards all around the world and everywhere they go there are mobs waiting for them, they're doing things no one has ever done before and it was too scary for them. They just wanted to give it all up.
It was totally that, and also the hate that they got at that time (2015-2018) which was vile, mainstream and relentless. It's also pure exhaustion. I've been army since 2016 and I remeber the first ever one month break BTS took. It was crazy. They talk about that more in Tae's suchwita episode, how they were about to disband because of exhaustion!
I think another thing to add is at the time they were considering breaking up they were in the midst of a world tour, while also working on new music, and all the other responsibilities they had. Every single member was being pushed to their limits. They hardly had any time off to enjoy themselves bc they were working so hard every single day. When you consider how stressed they must've felt from the immense pressure of being the ONLY kpop group to reach this level of success, hate from antis, and the stress of doing a year long tour. yeah, i'd consider quitting as well.
Until now tho@@nj.7325the hate still and drag them everywhere they only rely on us ARMY❤
Thanks for the St. Louis shout out Varnell, that be my home town I have been to 2 shows, was ready for 2019 when pandemic destroyed everything, then was suppose to be at 1 of the Sofi concerts but night b4 had to cancel flight dad was fighting several deadly diseases and I was the only one to take care of him, but last concert I went to Chicago May 12th 2019 was the best night, rained entire concert, but we had so much fun with the boys, they always say that is their most memorable concert the boys all love Chicago even RM said it's the city he'd want to live in
Thanks again for another fun night watching Varnell try denying the love - when will he learn once you find BTS and ARMY we hold on tight and you can't get away the love is to great💜💪🏼🫰🏼🫰🏼🫰🏼🫰🏼🫰🏼🫰🏼🫰🏼🫰🏼🫰🏼
Part of it is more practicle:
Their contract with Big Hit was about to run out and the question was if they wanted to renew.
It was a very hard time.
The pressure but also the barriers, lack of "reward/awards" for their hard work, hate, "fake scandels", outright lies and accusations + racism/xenophobia was hard to deal with.
There is an interesting vlog by Jimin - he is a little drunk in it - where he talked about it and how hearing their own music and the camping they went to as a group helped him to decide if he wanted to renew.
He only uploaded it a year later.
Varnell kicking his feet and giggling in 4K when his bias came on… we got him 8:42
It’s so funny that at the start he asks “why they call it a bias” and then only a few minutes later says with his whole chest “rm can do no wrong.” lol, that’s why it’s a bias varnell 💜
20:43 the amazing thing for me about rm that he does better than anyone is he does that in two languages. He’ll use whatever works whether in English or Korean. It’s like he has double the vocabulary if everyone else to rhyme with because he’s so linguisticly fluid.
Two languages? I've caught him a couple of times using French too!!!!!
@@L.Sunday16and at least once in German (Whalien 52)
@@erindodich5362 Wow! thank you for telling us.
"What can I say when its RM you know.. he could do no wrong." Lmaoo spoken like a true army. 😂
Varnell is the first reactor I have EVER seen that understood the difference between the two tears. Like I’m so fucking impressed right now.
But someone who immediately feels rm the most is gonna be intelligent and someone who really understands music and lyricism.
Can never go wrong with RM....
Namjoon biased Armys really are our brains
STRAY KIDS IS THE KING OF KPOP-..
Just to add few things:-
RM used to be RAP MONSTER
But later he changed it to REAL ME.
WHEN BANGTAN WAS YOUNG THEY WERE VERY PASSIONATE (IN AN ANGRY WAY). THEY THIRSTED FOR RECOGNITION AND WORKED WAY TOO HARD TO ACHIEVE THAT.
Eventually they achieved what they wanted and way too many more things. So the anger mellowed down. But the passion hardwork still remained the same
RAP MONSTER basically grew up to be wiser and gentler and became REAL ME
You have to understand when they started young, (rap line) used to be underground rappers. A lot of people from the Hip Hop scenes used to criticise them, saying they wanted fame which is why they joined an Idol group. But rapline never left their roots so hate was just jealousy cuz they were getting more recognition.
Cyphers were born out of those criticism and hate. They wanted to reply to those haters in their own words- hence Rapline RAPPED real hard!

Heeeere!💜😆
I love how Varnell got "Tear" lyrics at first listen! Indeed RM was talking about tears, Suga about tearing apart and J-Hope about the fear of parting! This song always hits hard ngl especially when someone saw their 2018 MAMA artist of the year acceptance speech where they talked about the disbanding? Oh man.. Also one of the native Korean speakers broke down the lyrics and her attention was caught by Suga's part "There is no such thing as a beautiful farewell, So please start now Woo take it easy, cut out the heart slowly Yes yes, Over the cut pieces, step on them Regrets, regrets, so that I would not have any such remaining Tear into pieces and burn my heart to a crisp"
She said and I quote "The terms he used for “step on” is an old Korean word and is not used in normal speech in modern-day. Most Koreans are very familiar with it though, as it appears in the very well-known poem, “Azaleas” by Kim Sowol.
The Korean Azaleas grow wild, often as the first flowers to bloom in spring. They’re edible too, so kids pick them and eat them. They’re also baby pink, not the darker reddish pink that Westerners are often familiar with.
To “step on” the azaleas in this poem gives the impression of stepping on all the purity, innocence and happiness… an act of cruelty and indifference. The poem gives feeling of careless cruelty where the person who left doesn’t even care enough to have hate.
Also fun fact, BTS were 1st Asian and non English act to sold out Wembley stadium, to this day only 12 artists sold out Wembley and they planned only 1 night, but the tickets sold out in 90 mins, so they added the 2nd night and they both sold out at the capacity of 60k people! It was back in 2019 😅 People flew all the way to Korea from around the world for this year's festa and for the hug event with Jin (yup our baby army Varnell, people fly to Korea to get the chance to hug them, not to mention the concerts 🤣)
i am loving this comments section. thank you for the beautiful break down on tear lyrics!
Whenever I'm watching these reactions I want to give them this type of great explanations on bts-lore. Epic comment, thank you for your hard work XDD
@@priceless7833 If you search for a blog called muish's ramblings, you can find many such lyric breakdowns by a native speaker. Muish isn't active anymore but she used go do lyric translations for more difficult BTS songs and her grasp of both Korean and English is very good so she not only understands the original Korean context but she can also give English equivalents. I miss her. OP is quoting her explanation of Outro tear.
Wow thanks I had no idea! Would you mind telling me who the native korean speaker was who explained this? that's gold.
That’s amazing about the azaleas! Thank you! I learn something new about this song every time! First the azaleas, then the lotus flower…our Suga likes flower meanings!
"Look Here" is a favorite one for me - I know it's got vocal line, too, but when I think of that song I always think of RM's bars - he kills it.
For their LA shows, SoFi reported that people came from approx 80 different countries for the concert
About Varnell's question: I flew from Germany to Chicago for SUGA's concert - for just one night because I needed to be back at work on Monday...
Youre real for that
Wow!
Exactly. 💜 🐋 🦋 🌙
Omg I also flew from Italy to New York for Suga's concert and I also had go back home quickly because of work, I 100% feel you 🥹
Hey me toooo 😮 from Germany to Chicago for a few days just to see him as a 30th birthday present to myself 😊I went on May 3rd…
22:50
Dear Varnell, this Cypher pt 3 is soooo special, even more now. They sang it at their last concert (available in amazon prime video, Yet to Come in Busan). Let me give some context.
Mililtary enlistment for men is mandatory in SK. For high achievers, they can wait until they are 30 (just BTS fulfill the criteria, the rest have to enlist up till they are 28). All these successful years, everyone was hanging that on their heads. Officials, politicians too, because in some cases (athletes and others) you can be granted an exemption. And being all BTS brings to the country in revenue, it would have been well deserved.
So end of 2022, Jin (you'll see him soon) was almost turning 30... This one concert was held in a city (Busan) that had a pitch for World Expo in 2035, they asked BTS to bring the cause home. They did this massive concert, FREE, they made a big screen available near the venue for the ones that didn't win the raffle and were visiting. The city welcomed thousands of tourists... All costs were on BTS company, not the government even...
They sang Cypher pt 3, in front of the officials that held the exemption carrot in front of them "you can control my shit!!"... the next day, they (BTS) announced they would be enlisting one by one shortly after. Nobody knew. Even the politicians complained loudly in interviews xD
This song was a big F U to all of them present.
Another thing to note. The oldest was born in 92, the youngest in 97... so the oldest had to enlist in 2022, but the youngest had time until 2027, BUT they love each other and their joint project so much, they all enlisted already, so they can be out (it's 18 months) as soon as possible, all together again. = June 2025
Sorry, long comment, do read, though xD
“You CAN’T control my shit”
A mic drop moment 🎤
RM also said it was the last time they would perform Cypher 3 live (at the Busan concert)
I think what was heartbreaking about Outro: Tear was that the members didnt reveal about their hardships until Jin initiated and talked about it when they received an award during the 2018/2019 end of year awards show. We knew they had the right to never even mention something so personal to them but they decided to do so when they've moved on and were in a better place physically and mentally. But then it fit like pieces of a puzzle cause tear was released may 2018 and there were contents where we do see the sadness in their faces which made sense. Im glad they were able to release these songs as part of their reflection on their life.
Also to Varnell, im sure you've heard this but "Denial is a river in Egypt" 😂
Btw i'm from Singapore and flew to London for their Wembley concert
Being in a BTS concert is like a dream, ... and a Agust D concert is like fire itself
Varnell gonna be owning an army bomb and namjoon photocards and would still be denying he army. Lmao.
ddaeng is a song that you really need to read about the lyrics to understand just how genius it is. not just the lyrics, but the meaning of them.
we watched the explanation
@SleepDeez yay, I was going to mention this too. RM killed me with this one. 💜
Gona to poste? Pleeeeaaassseeee @@SleepDeez
@@SleepDeez NICE!!!!!!
@@SleepDeezI'm glad you know all the Recruiter tricks. 😊💜
For Ddaeng you really need to check out the video Ddaeng explained by a Korean because the wordplay around the word ddaeng in there is very heavily based on Korean cultural references that you'll definitely needs some context for to fully understand. RM alone uses it in at least 7 different meanings in his verse. Btw I love how you're slowly adding more and more members, it's like that analogy of cooking a frog lmao. Varnell doesn't even want to accept how far along he is alreay 😂
Also pro tip: Don't fully trust the lyrics on lyrics videos, they're usually done by auto translators that miss some things or are even incorrect at some points and even color code the members wrong at times (first verse for example wasn't Suga but j-hope). The lyrics videos done by DIAL 6137, which you used for Cypher 4 & Ugh are based on the translations by doolset bangtan so those ones are the most accurate.
It is a MUST!!
For the rap line second part, I suggest from Map of the Soul: 7 album, the rap line trilogy:
1. RM’s Intro: Persona
2. SUGA’s Interlude: Shadow
3. j-hope’s Outro: Ego
“When y’all go to a BTS concert…”
*laughs in poverty and desperation*
Getting those tickets is traaaaaumaaaa
We don’t speak of that trauma - the purple man or purple bar in the waiting room , and then always “someone else got the tickets” before me. It’s absolutely anxiety/panic attack mode. If I got a ticket then it’s like I won the lottery and felt guilty toward my armys friends.
“Is there some kind of ARMY language?”
Oh, sweet summer child. You have no IDEA!! 🤪
Who's gonna tell them that BTS sold out Wembley Stadium (90k seats) in 90 minutes?? 😏 Getting tickets to a BTS concert, ESPECIALLY when they come back in 2025, is like the Hunger Games. Also, just for some extra knowledge Varnell, when you go to a BTS concert be prepared to see people of ALL genders, colors, religions, and ages. They've got everyone from grannies to children attending. I took my (at the time) 7 year old son to a BTS concert in Chicago on Mothers Day and it was the best day he and I ever shared together. He was living his best life, and all the Army around us were so kind and helpful in making sure he could see the stage and dancing with him. Army is a community, not just a fanbase. True Army's are loving and kind and respectful of each other and everyone else; that is what BTS try to spread to the world and what Army enforces. Welcome Varnell...you can't deny it anymore 😉
That smile when he says, "RM at this point can do no wrong" 😂 I SEE YOU, VARNELL!

jhope - more
rm - joke, all of INDIGO (wild flower! and still life)

"RM can do no wrong" - Varnell
🙌Knew you were RM biased and I'm here for it!!😆👏😍
Varnell, SUGA is an NBA ambassador! You've got to watch his segment on Fallon where they briefly discuss it. Sleep, I love both Cypher 3 and Cypher 4. I like the way they performed Cypher 3 at the concert in Busan. There was a big controversy in South Korea about if BTS should qualify for military exemption, which was usually for award-winning athletes & classical musicians. They performed Cypher 3 with the lyrics, "...I don't care. You can't control my shit.", (directed to the government!) and a few days later Big Hit announced BTS would enlist in the military. The guys themselves made the decision to end the country's discussion and enlist.
I really enjoy your friendship and Varnell's reactions! You are too cute, Varnell! And I really like the educational parts of the videos!
I was looking specifically for this comment! BTS telling their government to “fck off” will remain an iconic moment in BTS/ARMY history! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Varnell: I won't lie to you (proceeds to lie to himself about being sucked into the rabbit hole) 😂
All men do is lie 😂😂
😂🐇
The potential disbandment in 2018... they were all just completely exhausted... all they wanted was a day off, but dance practices/rehearsals/recording/shows/touring... there literally was no space to rest. People who hadn't followed them from debut wouldn't have understood that the members had been doing this since 2011 with very little sleep and no breaks. Thankfully they learnt to make some changes with their new contracts and put themselves first. Yoongi has a show called Suchwita, all of the members have appeared on episodes of it... along with other Korean artists... on Taehyungs episode, he and Yoongi speak in depth about 2018 and what made him and JK change their minds and keep going. You guys would love the show, it shows the personalities of each member and how different they are in musical tastes...
Yeah exactly, it'd be great to watch even on their own time for little insights or just fun. Thanks for commenting this, some of this context gets lost on people who werent there
@@nj.7325 Thanks.... I don't like when people assume it was a conflict between the members when in reality the 'conflict' was with management regarding their schedule that set the issue off... I think it's important as you said, to inform those who may not know - BTS and Army have their share of inaccurate reporting already💜
@@JoSedunaryEven if there was conflict between them, they most likely worked through it quickly. As is shown in the burn the stage series when they have an issue they deal with it quickly. together.
it's clear when they do talk about this time the issue was never problems w/in the group but everything they had to deal with as a group having no one but themselves to figure things out.
I think this was the time that they only had 1/2 day off a month for 6 months or so? Poor guys, they worked/work so hard. I remember also initially thinking that Tear was about a couple break-up but now knowing it was Suga bringing the track to them when they were talking about breaking up....whole new meaning to the song.
@@ireniic Absolutely
Seeing someone becoming an army through the rap line and who actually cares and understands music and hip hop is like a breath of fresh air, i'm loving this series and the new podcast, i love learning about music!! Vernell doesn't know what's coming once he sees more of them on stage, stage presence is their sencond name like they were born to be there 🔥🔥🔥
One thing worth mentioning is that J-Hope learned how to rap only after he became a trainee at their label (before BTS was complete) with help from RM and Suga but still was able ro find his style. Wich is really shown by his evolution along cyphers 1 to 4 and obviously his following solo albums
With all the dad jokes Varnell cracks, Jin would love him. He would call him the "joker guy."
We should get Varnell to watch some Jin personality videos. Or even better! Jin rapping!!!
38:52 BTS Rapline ARE shown to the US public. Suga was on Jimmy Fallon, and went on a huge US tour. jhope played Lollapalooza. RM did a whole shoot & interview for Rolling Stone with Pharrell. But the problem is, they’re never going to get the same respect because the xenophobia is still too prevalent. And also the prejudice of them being in KPop. It’s literally one of the biggest frustrations of being ARMY; knowing how good they are, but seeing lesser artists win the awards.
Factsssss
Jimmy Fallon.
Preach! I can't even talk to my hubby about how good they are, he is way too prejudiced, and I've been an ARMY for 4 years. First thing everyone says: "Ah, the boy band!" And it shuts down any discussion effectively. And I sure as hell, not going to shove my musical choices down someone's throat 😂 it's their personal choice to miss out on greatness 😜
Its heartbreaking to see the reviews for Namjoon's latest albums and knowing he will get zero public awards for it. Billboard still calling it a kpop album is just mindblowing to me.

The main motive for the disbandment thoughts was the exhaustion and the immense pressure put on them. They were a small group and suddenly they rise up and were receiving honor medals and being the proud of South Korea. Yoongi (SUGA) even told us that he cried in the shower after the first time they performed at the Billboard Awards because he felt so much pressure. And on top of that, they wouldn't have breaks, they were too busy and exhausted, so it started to affect their mental health. And as they like to tell, when one member is going through something bad, all of them follow because they suffer to see each other suffer. In their book, they tell how they just fell into a slump all together, but they got better by working on music and taking care of each other and their mental health.
this. thanks for typing it out.
My fave Cypher is Pt 3 Killer... and btw, that live performance of the Cypher medley you watched, the DJ wasn't just an ordinary DJ, that was Supreme Boi, and he's produced a number of their songs, as well as being on Cypher Pt. 3... he tends to be behind the scenes, but in that performance, he joined them onstage.
As far as BTS concerts go, I only ever watched them once in Singapore, when they sold out our National Stadium in just 4 hours! I actually couldn't get a ticket to go see them, but later on, I asked around online and one ARMY said her Mum was supposed to go with her, but got sick and now she's looking to sell her ticket at the same price she bought it at, and she offered it to me. I remember this very well, 'cos I just got discharged from the hospital after having day surgery and being kept overnight for observation, and the very next day, I went to this BTS concert. It was good that it was a seated ticket, 'cos I might not have survived a standing ticket, seeing as how BTS concerts easily last 2-3 hours long. It was an experience I'll never forget.
The concert date was 19 Jan 2019, just before the covid pandemic hit Singapore about a year later. After that, all I watched were their online concerts, 'cos covid didn't allow for live concerts, and when they could perform live in the USA and in Korea later on, it was too far for me to travel, since I live in Singapore. After that, they were due for military service, so they started doing more solo work, and we probably won't get another BTS concert till they return in 2025. But I'm sure when the next concert tour happens, it will all get sold out in minutes... I'm not that fast with my fingers, so with my luck and abilities, I will probably not get a ticket in time again. Still, at least I've seen them once, and I'll be alright with that too.
Hearing their songs and see the traductions is a first thing : you understand they are good, they are passionate and really talented. They are definitly good artists
BUT when you start whatching them in concerts and in mv... here start the army conversion
AND when you start knowing their stories, watching their documentaries, the interviews, the bangtan bombs and the reality shows... here start the obsession
BTS are multi talented, they are really good musicians of course but they are global pop stars with an strong ARMY fanbase because they are so much more. Their MV are always perfects, addictive and you can't take your eyes off the screen. It's the same for the concerts video (I saw you Varnell not blink during the medley).
They also are really smart and good guys, they are real with people and fans, they are not afraid to show their weaknesses, to speak about their sad moments and happy moments. In 2018 they spoke about disband because of the pressure they had of becoming too big... But they are means to be big because nobody do what they are doing. They always try to be better person, working hard to understand the world and speaking about things everyone in the world can related. They also are so humble. In an interview RM said there is 100% of success, they give 50% to the armies, 15% to the company and 5% each of them and the fact that they consider themselve just 5% is so relatable and everythings they do because they don't take their success for granted.
It's been years since USA is controlling the global music industry and it's not bad music but there is also so many good talents everywhere in the world and they are not global because of language barrier but BTS is making history I tell you. They are proving that if we want to we can break down the borders. "Music is an universal language" is so true.
BTS is trusting the army and armies are trusting them.
I think that Varnell needs to know that the correct term for him now is Baby Army. And to answer your question about the way their concerts work, like Sleep said, they have a huge catalogue and they dance so hard on stage. So to stagger breaks throughout the show, they do songs individually, or rap line then vocal line, or sometimes in duos. Sometimes all seven of them will perform someone's solo song to change things up. That's why there are no opening acts at a BTS show. It's just them performing in various configurations for 2+ hours.
Baby Army 😂😂😂 🤦🏾♂️
@@VarnellHill you are going to look back at these days in couple of years to realize it was the happiest time fr 😂 enjoy it
@@VarnellHilldude, sometimes it's best just to accept fate. I remember my denial days too
@@VarnellHill just accept fate. ARMY are happy and the Magic Shop is awesome.😁
At Racuten Viki are 2 of their concerts and I'm watching them for the 4th time already😂 Bangtan's concerts are on a next level💜
That number one podcast… I’m not saying his name here, but he came for BTS several times, and even slated J Cole for his collab with jhope. Keep recording the pod, and we’ll make YOURS number one instead. You deserve that crown 👑
@@kirstyl3532 yesssssssss pleassseeeeeee
That’s right he did! 😮Ooh this makes Sleep’s #2 ranking even more delish! We need to keep streaming for #1. Let’s go Army!💜💜
I’m in! 💜
@@kirstyl3532 yes pleaseeeee 💜 Let's stream
We got a job to do, Army!! Sleep podcast to #1!!
LOVE that Varnell got the "don't need Hugo, already Boss" line right away. One of my all time fav lines.
The newer lightsticks look even cooler now that they change colors. At the concerts, you assign yours to your seat number in the app and they are able to create really cool rainbow effects, write out words, create moving symbols, etc. using the whole crowd. The audience basically becomes one big LED screen.
With how often he called them *Dope* I think that should be one of his first OT7 songs
Also the *"Welcome, is this your first time with Bangtan?"* part would fit so well!
I agree! “Dope” should be his first OT7 song
Suga's AgustD DDay concert yeilded the highest revenue for any rapper in the US in 2023.
Yesss
RM uses to mean Rap Monster but now stands for Real Me
Just gonna put a request for Outro: Her, because I think it's one of the rap line songs that don't get promoted as much. Looking forward to future videos and enjoying the podcast so far. Thanks 👍💜
The lyric mafia LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO
Love this. Suga 93 hoodies are the enforcers of the Lyrics Mafia 🤣🤣🤣🤣
We are tho 😂
It's funny, but it's true - because you just CAN'T miss out on the poetry of Bangtan lyrics!
I’ve traveled from Sweden to US (LA, LV and NY) 3 separate times to see BTS and Yoongi solo in concert. No regrets. I’d travel the world to see them live for a lifetime.
The way RM eats is insane
Sleep and Varnell, thank you for the great video again! If you ask me how many miles I have travelled to see BTS live (concerts or other performances), I would probably need an excel table for it. Since 2016, I've been to 48 shows to watch BTS (42 being concerts and the rest are like iHeart, AMA, KCON, etc). When I was living in the US (NC), I flew to Seoul, Osaka, Macau, LA, Anaheim, Newark to see them, and when I moved back to Hong Kong, I flew to the US (multiple cities), Tokyo, Yokohama, Taiwan, Wembley, Seoul, Busan to see them. If I can get tickets for any show, I will go. I've taken a one-month no pay leave from work to follow their tour. The one thing that you will see when anyone attends a BTS concert, is to realize how genuinely global their fanbase is. A BTS concert is the "only one place" on earth that there is no segregation of any kind, race, age, gender, sexuality, disability..... When I was waiting in line in NY UBS Arena for Suga D-Day concert, two venue staff was casually chatting next to me, one big black male supervising staff was telling the Latino female staff something like this "I don't know who this guy is, but all day I've seen these people smiling being so happy lining up for stuff, they may all have their own problems or issues or stories at home, but for today they are so happy!", and the lady responded she saw fans from all different parts of world and they were exchanging nationalities of fans they heard... I couldn't control myself and butt in and told them I just flew 17 hour straight from Hong Kong and got there last night for this, and I will fly back out right after the concert. To anyone who still thinks BTS is a phrase, or there will be a "next" BTS, that's not even wishful thinking, just plain delusion. Those of us who can frequently go, and you will see us on every pits, are adults with resources to do so, not the teenagers fangirling in the phrase of growing up, and will ditch them when adulthood or relationship(s) begin. You can count us as those old white folks that follow KISS or Springsteen tour, just that we're younger and have many more years to go. As long as BTS will tour, we will be there!
(*side note: I'm one of the very few minority that am not too fond of the emotional soundboard... I think it may interrupts the flow of the conversation or stop Varnell's line of thoughts, but I can see the appeal in entertaining the audience. just my $0.2 you can ignore! PEACE!!! )
Varnell gonna be denying he's ARMY until he hears the entire catalogue at this point lmao 😂 He and Jino would get along
Nah I don't think he will last like Jino, Varnell is falling fast lol
wait jino isn't army? i always see his reactions i thought he'd definitely be
Jino is J-hope biased and still won't admit he's ARMY 😂
@@xxxx-rx7co he "isn't ARMY" in his words lmao
Who's Jino?
18:34 this cypher was after the podcast incident where suga and rm were pretty much attacked from “straying” from the underground rap scene to become idols. why i think jhopes beat is different, it’s to differentiate their roles in this song. like jhope is the mc and he’s introducing rm and suga (the targeted underground rappers) to rap and clap back at them. i hope this makes sense lol
The podcast was brutal. They questioned RM and Suga’s masculinity for becoming idols wearing makeup and costumes, which is just so narrow minded on so many levels. PD Bang even went the company of the podcast to try to get an apology but the cowards wouldn’t meet him. The biggest offender was a real asshat who has been rightfully put in his place in the industry since them. If you want to get a good idea of their discography then listen to Proof, their anthology, in order. The members chose the songs to include and added some new ones.
I-ARMY here!! BANGTAN Forever!!! We live in NY so my 2 teenage daughters and I went to LA - SoFi Stadium Nov 2021 to see BTS!! With our ARMY BOMBS! It was incredible. I-ARMY are so generous giving photocards and freebies. Seeing our boys - being in the same airspace was amazing. Meaghan Thee Stallion performed on our night , BORAHAE y'all
FIRST LOVE by Suga is a must - it sometimes an overlooked song but the emotions in that song is what first got me pulled into the rap line - even after hundreds of listens it still moves me
In Vegas there were several people I met came from Japan.
48:16 no beef none not at all. They absolutely love each other. They are very few brotherhoods like BTS have, but there was a lot of pressure that’s not gotten any better they’ve just figured out how to handle it better. They blew up hard. They went from being a small group from Korea, mostly unknown from an almost bankrupt company to global superstars, and while they had been building to that, it wasn’t overnight like people seem to think in the US it was also massive and sudden in the same breath so the pressure got to them for a little bit and they debated whether or not it was worth it to continue or did they need to stop. As you can tell from them still being them and all their solo work that came afterwards they are still together still making music still kicking ass and have figured out how to balance
Oh they don't know family and brotherhood and bonding like our guys do. It's hard to see that love and respect in this day and age, and that was one of the MAJOR things that got me into them because fuck their bond is beautiful. Protect them at all costs god💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Yeah! It was the pressure, and it was also the exhaustion. 6am to 6am (irregular sleep) 360 days a year, touring AND making music AND intervies AND dance practice, it was too much. They talk about how it pushed them to consider disbanding many times, the tae ep in suchwita is a great one ^^. While the pressure was scary, it was the workload that nearly did them in, and I'm so glad they decided to take breaks and go sustainable.
varnell, honey, Suga doesn’t stop to take a breather, he purposely stops to prove to the haters that he is not lip syncing. And after ten years of proving to the haters that they are liars, he STILL throws in the proof. This series is so funny… Varnell is trying hard, but fooling no one- he IS head first down the rabbit hole! But ARMY is here to catch you, and break your fall. My vote for a Suga song is Snooze! RM- Joke, Jhope- the 3 song medley from Lollapolooza- Baseline/cypher1/Hangsang. He HAS to see that!💜💜💜💜💜🫰🏻🫰🏻🫰🏻🫶🏻
Longest I flew for a BTS concert was from New Zealand to Las Vegas!
Varnell, ma man, I wish I could express how much it isn’t only BTS’s immaculate performances and their sincere & heartfelt engagement with the crowd, it’s also the immense energy that comes from everyone there loving them SO much. I have never in my life felt an outpouring of energy from a crowd like that before?! I’m not kidding when I say it felt like I could feel the energy in the air entering my lungs when I inhaled and my skin was BUZZING afterwards.
I can’t wait for you to experience it 🥹
In THE MEANTIME I’m so excited for your trip into the BTS rabbit hole further 🥰 Thankyou for being such an excellent guide and mentor on the Journey Sleep!
You DEFFFFF have to do the Persona/Shadow/Ego trilogy (All 3 have great music videos with accurate English lyric captions)!! Since you will be well aware of it Sleep, it’d be really cool if you explained to Varnell beforehand how it’s based on Jungian Psychology and that’s why the albums are called Map of The Soul 💜💜💜
i've been to 4 concerts -- Varnell, we'll cross the earth to see bangtan. sometimes army will fly just to be OUTSIDE the venue while a concert is going on ,because the experience is electric and it's an all-day thing - when you go you'll learn about army culture and how we exchange freebies, etc.
the permission to Dance concert in LA is recorded and available to watch! I was there Day 1 and 2. I was also in Vegas, Day 1.
i hope you get to watch the D-day concert because it was brilliant - went to NY for Days 1 and 2.
thank you for the long reaction and i look forward to part 2.
don't feel too pressured by the lyric push - i personally love the lyrics and know it's important but i know it may be frustrating as a producer not to be able to focus on the soundscape because the words go so quickly. i like to get lost in the sound myself. do what works for you.
appreciate you both!
DDAENG TO START? bros not going easy on varnell
RM- Joke, Change, Wildflower
J-Hope- 1VERSE, Ego, Hangsang
Suga- The last, Agust D, Nevermind
In terms of suggestions, y'all hit most of the rapline only songs. Outside of those there's only these left:
1. Intro: Skool Luv Affair
2. Outro: Her
It could be interesting to hear solo songs they did in the BTS albums. The albums usually have an intro that's done by one of the rapline members. These could be interesting as a way to see how they set the mood for an album.
1. Intro: the Most Beautiful Moment of Life (Suga)
2: Intro: Boy Meets Evil (JHope)
3. Intro: Persona (RM)
Another option of showcasing their solo work in BTS albums would be listening to their solo songs in Love Yourself: Answer the final album of their Love Yourself trilogy.
1. Trivia: Just Dance (JHope)
2. Trivia: Love (RM)
3. Trivia: Seesaw (Suga)
I think ending this rapline introduction with a song that showcasea all the members could be a cool way to get Varnell ready for vocal line. I've seen some great suggestions on that front so I'll echo some of those as well
1. HipHop Phile
2. Baepsae/Silver Spoon
3. Born Singer
4. Mic Drop
I’ve been to two of their concerts-PTD LA and LV. Surreal experience and I was hyped for days!
I love the line *"You're my fear"* cause it can mean so many things like:
I'm scared of you, I'm scared for you,
you're so important to me that suddenly I have something to lose,
you make me fear myself cause I can see my own issues in you etc.
He is reading lyrics and already has a bias he is speedrunning the ARMY conversion.
I have been to six concerts. There is NOTHING like it.
Flew all the way from New Zealand just to watch the concerts at SoFi stadium! 💜 enjoyed this episode. Can’t wait for Part 2!
That’s a long flight! You might be the winner. You traversed hemispheres.
I laughed so hard when Varnell said "Lets just say they're angry" while listening to Ugh😭😭
You need to tell him that getting tickets is the hunger games 😂
The giggle during ugh tells me everything I need to know. Bro is full on ARMY.
You're the highlight of my week! Never a dull moment with you two! I loved when Varnell was kicking his feet giggling when he recognized RM his bias on Ddaeng! Looking forward to part 2! Soundboard was hilarious by the way lol
I have been waiting so long for this. The cyphers man. RAP LINE SUPREMACY
3 headed monster is the perfect name.
Man Cerberus would go hard as their nickname. Cerberus is the three headed dog from the Greek Underworld
Rapline songs for part 2:
Intro : Skool luv affair
Outro : Her
oh my god pleasseeeee i need them to react to outro:her
Also dkdktv Ugh explained by a Korean and
Explanation video for Ddaeng as well if time
It's 2:40am and i'm fully entertained watching this. I'ma say i was insanly looping Dynamite as a local who had a relief in COVID days but what finally made me an army was discovering BTS does hip hop too. That they HAD rappers. That there were not only 1, nor 2 but 3 RAPPERS, And that those were actually so good rappers. Like Alice, i fell down deep the rabbit hole to Boraland. And here I am, a Hobi biased with my bt21 merch 🤣 being totally in love with BTS, finding joy at ny 34yso. Hope you enjoy your experience discovering them. We need more army boys(?)
I met a nice group of senior ladies that came to Sofi from Japan. They spoke very little English but were absolutely delightful. I also have friends that travel from the US, Canada, South America and Australia to SK for their shows. Distance isn’t a limiter for ARMY when it comes to seeing the guys perform.
Side note: The age range of fans at the concerts will blow your mind. You will also meet people from every culture in the world at a BTS show. And in that, it’s a special fandom of people who line up patiently, have manners, and amaze the locals. Vegas staff were shocked with the number of people who came and zero problems were had. BTS fosters that in their fandom. I can’t wait for you to see it!
Next up: It you want to stay with the rap line, Hip Hop Phile. I think Varnell will appreciate the homage paid to those rap and hip hop artists who paved the way for the artists after them. And maybe touch on Epik High? This could be a great way to bring in the vocal line before you introduce them individually.
Yeah, I would love a small side trip into Epik High, since they were such an influence, and also because it's great music I bet Varnell hasn't heard yet.
Varnell, maybe someone already said this, but the English translations don't do the lyrics justice because in Korean they're filled to the brim with clever wordplay, innuendo and soooo many layers. 💜
To answer Varnell's question : it was not for a BTS concert exactly but for the D Day tour (Suga solo tour !) I traveled all the way from france to indonesia just for that - best experience of my life
Wow indonesia - france
@@liliputjo3951 and that was my first time traveling alone too; with just my anxiety, no survival instinct and a shooky with me lmao - 100% recommend if you have the opportunity to travel for a concert though, it's so fun
Was lucky enough to be in LA for PTD day 3, from Florida. My daughter flew in from Korea. Then I flew from Florida to Vegas. So fun to watch these videos! Love watching him on his ARMY journey beginning. I CANNOT wait to see more.
can we get a compilation of varnell just jamming to the songs ? his reaction to the songs and lyrics have been my favorite ! (also pls dont be shy in making a compilation of him denyingthe army conversion meter ! those bits are hilarious !)
I’m also Namjoon biased. His pen game is no joke. It extends to his letters, speeches and interviews. He is thoughtful and an excellent with his words in all forms of writing
RM is a poet, a philosopher, an abstract thinker and a linguistic genius. Planets must have aligned is some galaxy the day he discovered hip hop. How lucky are we!
Sitting here with the memories of first finding BTS and jealously that you are getting to experience it. It was the best time ever. Ive got goosebumps.
You're so right! I see myself falling in 💜 with the rap line of BTS and BTS all over again!
Those rabbit hole days are truly the best. I miss it all so much🥹
gosh this is my favorite journey of discovery ever recorded in CZcams. You two are amazing!
