Even though most international fans don't speak Korean we become very fluent once Spring Day comes on 😂 I guarantee every ARMY can sing this song with just the music playing
and just one day lmaoo
@@evelyndelao9372 yesss that song was memorized in Just One Day 😏
or Young Forever
😂😂😂😂No one can beat me at Spring Day
Absolute facts 😂💜
I sing along despite the language barrier 😂
LOL
I have never worked so hard to learn and pronounce words to songs before. I love singing along! And no I’m not talking about Dynamite. Singing in Korean is really beautiful!
@@ChelebelleOT7 I have learned Spring Day to a T... You would even think me a native speaker 😂
Bogoshipdaaa ... bogoshipda
@@chantalmichelle6237 I love this!! Spring Day is so beautiful!! The Queen!! 💜
Western musicians/producers often question why they don't harmonize more. Their harmonies are wonderful but you have to keep in mind, Kpop isn't just music but performance. When they perform live, there's a dance routine with almost every song. Because of that, each member has space between their lines to help with breath control while dancing.
Good point!
So cool your comment was really influential in shaping Jacob's view of kpop!
Honestly I would have never thought of that but it seems so obvious now. Thank you I also wondered about why they don’t harmonize more, now I know.
@@JacobRestituto in addition to what Thea said, I must say that their album versions have a lot more harmonies than live versions ☺️
11:20 ARMY can sing the Korean lyrics too. The language barrier is not a thing. Also the lyrics mean so much throughout BTS' discography. You may consider watching their MVs and reading their lyrics. They are moving, and are at a different level
They don't share the verses equally. In interviews, they said that even though it's often hard, they make choices to get a good song , not to suit their egos... It's a great team work. 👌
They did perform at the Wembley Stadium a couple of years ago. It will make any ARMY cry actually
wow!
@@JacobRestituto yea they sold out two days at the wembley stadium in 2019
@@JacobRestituto yeah they performed in 2019. You can find a clips of their performances at youtube.
They sold it out in 90 minutes too! 🤯
BTS is the 12th artist that have sold out Wembley stadium but what makes it more significant is that they are the first non English act to sell out Wembley and sell out the 2 days show in 90 minutes
All of them have their unique, wonderful voices, what makes them the best is that they don't sing only with their vocal cords, lungs, throat but with their hearts and souls. you can feel them in every single song. BTS IS NOT A GROUP, IT'S A FAMILY! Thank you so much for this reaction! 💜
great!
This is the best answer! There are a lot of singers with good voices or who have been technically trained well, however BTS -all seven - connect straight to their hearts and souls and you know it and you recognize it immediately. 💜💜💜
8:00 you're right, he is RM, the leader of BTS. Fun Fact: He learned English with the show "Friends"
wow thats cool
Exactly
@@JacobRestituto first with Korean subtitles then with English subtitles. Rm tells this story on Carpool Karaoke.
@@amytucker1902 and in carpool karaoke Jin also said
I'm wwh world wide handsome you know!😁
That still always makes me laugh 🤣🤣🤣
Yes also Rm learned English by watching friends
Plus I just for some reason I wanted to point out jin as well😅🤣🤣🤦♀️
The three rappers have over 100 song credits individually. Yes they write and produce most of their stuff. I think collectively they have over 400 song credits (alot of free music too). All their mixtapes and solo albums are written and produced by the members. And they release them for free on soundcloud.
i'll just add to clarify the first bit that each of the rappers have over 100 song credits individually - rm over 160/170, suga and j-hope both over 120/130 each (not sure about current exact numbers because it changes every album) but they're all seasoned songwriters and producers.
@@forg_tful. Oh yes. I wasn't sure of the exact numbers so I just wrote over 100.
@@forg_tful. Suga has more songs written than the others because he also wrote songs for other artist
They have spent their entire career living together, which does make them very close and relaxed when performing.
ARMY was originally an acronym which stood for Adorable Representative MC for Youth
amazing!!
BTS (방탄소년단) also translates to Bulletproof Boy Scouts, so you can see where the ARMY name came from
shhhhh don't give him our government name 😭
@@sydneydefreitas5157 🤣🤣🤣
Jungkook is often the one who sings more parts since he's the main vocalist and he's often in the center for danceparts. He's the one with the purple mic, you liked his voice
nice!!
@@JacobRestituto they do layer vocals on songs in choruses but they layer one voice doing multiple notes for the harmonies so they couldn’t do that here since and only 4 of them are vocalists typically...
it normally either Jungkook or Jimin vocally V and Jins line distribution really has gotten better over the years but you never really see them get the most lines which is sad because even as a jimin bias i love jin and v alot so i would like to hear them with more lines in the ot7 songs
@@conorh3524 correct
My bias is jungkook ❤❤😁😊
Love Jungkook's voice! He's incredible vocally and also does most of the harmonies and adlibs with the vocal and rap line 🔥
I would say the reason Jungkook (third from the left) has one in-ear out is because in a "live" setting he does the most ad-libs and harmonies and he would have to hear more of "everything" than anyone else. On the whole they do get equal parts or at least try to even it out as much as possible, however, they all know and are aware and are ok with the fact that sometimes a members part might be smaller than the others depending on the song. I realize you are a producer but I think it would be great if you watched one of the documentaries like "This Is BTS" by xCeleste. I think it would help you understand a lot of the fundamental questions you have about them. Thank you! Have a great weekend :))
Jungkook has a really good ear and sense of rhythm. So he keeps one in ear in to hear himself but he takes the other out because he just able to follow along with the music. He does it a lot on stage which is crazy because it's probably way too loud to hear
Jimin
All the vocalists do harmonies and adlibs
@@enjalejon6817 the comment says jk does most of them which is true if you see most of their performances as well as the studio tracks
@@angiesplaylist23 I know, but the others ones do a lot of harmonies and adlibs too so that’s still irrelevant. If so, all of the vocalists need their in ears out because all of them do harmonies and adlibs.
they have 4 vocalists and 3 rappers that's why the 4 vocalists have more parts in songs that don't really have raps. they sing equally depending on the song but its mostly Jungkook since his position is Main Vocalist of the group. If the song is hiphop rap based then the rappers get to shine. if you want more harmonies live please react to Life Goes On MTV unplugged its such a great band ver of the song!
They sing equally depending on the song, somtimes more sometimes less it depends, but since jungkook is the main vocalist he tends to sing the most out of the vocal line
The third song, Spring Day, has a lot of meaning, for Armys, and for South Koreans in general. There's a lot of emotion in that song, and that's true of a lot of BTS songs, but in particular Spring Day.
It's my personal opinion that the reason BTS does not make use of intense layered harmonies is each man - each voice - is so distinct in personality, and each man tells a slightly different part of the story of each song, allowing an intermixture of successive solos, a weaving of threads, if you will, with minimal harmonies to provide aural texture, allows the story to shine and reach a wide variety of people, rather than pushing only pure music.
I guess my point overall for this comment is that meaning is about 50% of what BTS content is about. I think that's a higher percentage than most other musical groups.
Spring Day is also called the Queen song among ARMY because it has spent 4 YEARS on the South Korean 100 chart! Last time I checked it was no. 50something. It spikes every year around the day of the tragic ferry accident they commemorate in the mv.
Pdogg is their main producer and a legend.
If a song has PDogg's touch, you know it's gonna be insane lol.
we stan Pdogg!
FYI: The band's name is Ghost.
Regarding line distribution, RM had shared they try to be fair, but it really depends on the song and who's voice would be best for which part. All the rappers co produces a lot of their songs but the vocal line is also getting into production as well.
Jimin’s vocals are amazing 🤯🔥💜
I LOVE your reaction. Thank you for it.
Yeah, the second guy from the right is the one who is fluent in english. He learned it from the tv show "Friends". He has 148IQ so he's literally a genius.
All of them are producers but the rappers are the main one. They're helping producing songs for BTS's albums but they have also a lot of solo stuff where they're the main producers. Such a talented people.
ARMY stands for adorable representative M.C. for youth and BTS gave us this name hoping that we will raise our voice to speak ourselves.
They're like brothers. It's always great to see them messing around.
I'm singing along, when I know the lyrics. I'm learning Korean for a few months now so I'm getting better.
If you like their energy, you should maybe react to:

I love all of their voices but my fav is Taehyung's (V, the one in the middle). Jimin and V have one of the most unique voices I've ever heard. But I really do love all of their vocies. Even the rappers have such a great voices.
It depends on the song but Jin (the one next to RM sitting on the left side) has less lines. I don't really know why because his voice is just beautiful. He learned sing and dance from 0 in his 21 which I think it's absolutely amazing! Anyway I believe that they know each other really well and when some part doesn't suit one of them, they're okey with it, you know what mean? They're talking about it and I don't think they're mad when some of them have less lines in particular songs. I think Jungkook (JK) has the most lines because he's the main vocalist.
Have a great day!
wow thanks for all of that info!!!
They distribute parts of the song depending on how they want the message conveyed, and this takes precedence over fair line distribution. They’ve always said on interviews it is not an issue among them because they want to deliver the emotions of the song in the best way possible, and each of them have their unique ways of doing that. It seems me that Jin shines more in their Japanese songs because those are more sentimental/emotional ballads. Jungkook is the main vocalist, so he may sing and do adlibs in the background across many of their songs. But all 4 vocalists and 3 rappers are great in singing.
@@whskrsg4240 yeah, that's exactly what I think, too. Jin really shines in Japanese songs. And also Tae. All of them are so talented. It's unreal.
They tend to "call on Jin" when it's high notes that need belting and belting in general. He actually has a very powerful voice.
@@JacobRestituto
Also, on a side note, ARMY uses the color purple because Nov. 2016 during the fan club event 3rd Muster V said to the fans: "I purple you. Do you know what purple means? Purple is the final color of the rainbow. Purple means I will respect, trust and love you for a long time. I just came up with that." (typical V😂) So if someone comments that they purple you (= Borahae), it’s a good thing. Also we tend to use 💜 instead of ❤️ for that same reason.
I agree that the extra harmonies would be cool but there is a reason why they don't do this. All 3 of these songs have pretty demanding choreography for live performances. By keeping layered harmonies to a minimum of members, it provides the other members opportunity to conserve and control their breathing. They wouldn't be able to sing constantly and dance for an entire song.
I was just about to write this! (and it gives army the benefit of being able to see the one singing, but that's just a side note).
Great point! Jason, maybe you could check out a live stage performance. Their vocals/rap coupled with their choreography and performance put them on another level.
This is a really important point about why they pass the lead around so often! 💜
Yes exactly. I am the same in that I would love them to harmonize more because I know they can but the impression that I also get is with having to distribute lines across 7 members, you also want to give them each their own moment to shine without being lost in a chorus. So they harmonize on key parts and in live performances are usually dancing when it's not their part.
Blessiu.
I really enjoyed your reaction! I personally think the reason why they don’t do many layered vocals is because almost all of their songs have choreography with it, and sometimes it’s pretty intense.
So if all of them were singing all the time many of the members wouldn’t have time to breath. I think that’s why they don’t go full full out in their vocals because their shows are about a wholistic performance not just singing.
You should react to a live concert to see just all that goes into their performances!
that makes sense!! Thanks for that feedback!

Thank you :-)
Also, RM is the designated Leader of the group.
Also V is a lead dancer
V is a vocalist and a lead dancer and a visual member btw 😑
And if you're another taehyung anti that doesn't stand the fact that tae has a lot of positions I won't be surprised 🙄
@@amytucker1902
Most of the positions she wrote are wrong btw
Jungkook is the main vocalist so I believe that he has a little bit more parts than the rest members on some songs. Jungkook also does the most adlibs in their songs.
But it also depends on the song. If a song matches more with a voice of one member, that member will get more lines.
They did Wembley and sold it for two days. That was 3 hrs of pure performance! BTS hold the best concerts there is!
Great reaction video. This performance was the one that introduced me to BTS. It blew me away and I have been a fan ever since.
thanks!!
Yep that’s RM the member with the most fluent English. If there’s the opportunity to do so as was the case here, each member will prepare something to say in English, and practice to get it sounding as good as they possibly can. Each member’s pronunciations has been improving steadily.
About their synth production... I think I recall some programme about the CEO of the company saying that when he spent time abroad he was into 80s synth pop... maybe that has an influence on BTS music production?
Regarding ARMY... all Kpop group fandoms have their own name. BTS stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan which means Bulletproof Boyscouts. The fandom name is often created by the company and it came up with ARMY which means “Adorable Representive MC for Youth”.
The seven members are divided into two... The rap line (RM, Suga and Jhope) and the vocal line (V, Jungkook, Jimin and Jin) so they do a very good job at distribution of lines. They really try to be fair
Wait you forgot Jin and JK are a hybrid 😂😂😂
The group has a main vocalist- Jungkook (the guy with the purple mic who's voice you said you liked). He sings the most out of all of them, you normally catch him doing the harmonies and adlibs too
Their band is called Ghost Band they did shows with them and are their session band as well
nice!!
They all participate in producing their songs
amazing!
we learn Korean to be able sing along lol.
Also, Jungkook obv sings more in their songs since he's the main vocalist in the group and does most of harmonization and adlibs.
The reason there's not many harmonies it's because all 3 songs are title track songs, therefore meant to be performed on stage with hard choreographies and... well lets just say its hard enough to sing while dancing what else harmonizing.
So do consider reacting to making of Soop OST
Some context: BTS did a variety show, BTS in the soop which was basically them going for a vacation to a forest where they were free to do whatever they want and just fun. So member V(Taehyung) was just goofing around and on the spot came up with a tune and some cute lyrics which when member Suga(Yoongi) heard thought had a potential to be the OST for the show.
In the last episode of the show we see the members actually fine tuning the song and actually recording it. Even the recording session is them just having fun while actually recording some great vocals! You should definitely checkout how much effort they put into a 20 second jingle
We kinda know all the words. Like how they are pronounced. And what the song means overall.
You like Jungkook's voice😍😍😍😍 He is the main vocalist for BTS. MY BIAS...BUT EVERYONE IN BTS ALL HAS UNIQUE VOCLAS. & ARE ALL GREAT AT SINGING. LOVE BTS 💜💜💜
Since you like Jungkook's voice you should check out 'still with you'. His vocals really shine in that song
Jungkook ❤️
& Whole BTS too.......
I love when people acknowledged Hobi rap and vocals, he has such a beautiful vocal range 💜
pleas more live BTS reactions
more to come
The studio versions of Spring Day and Save me are freaking great too. Please check them out.
They lived together for almost 8 years it’s definitely more than just performance!
So cool
Do you notice Jimin’s unique tone? At the end of his verses, his pitch tails up. It’s his own thing. (He’s the one on the far right.)
BTS is 7 years together, they are not just boyband but they are family, if u can watch their old videos u can get it. They are true friends unlike the other groups. They grow up and matured together, their bond is strong. And the one fluent in English is RM the leader of bts He taught himself English by watching friends. These 7 guy is also producer, song writer, and even the other member doing directoring their MV
I loved hearing you credit the producing!!! It's a huge point of pride for them especially since so many of them take part in it
Thanks for your reaction to BTS, I really enjoyed it! It’s great to get different perspectives on their performances and yours from a producer’s point of view was interesting. I look forward to your next BTS reaction!
There are plenty of songs that have the layered vocals you're looking for. Mostly songs by the vocal line and rap line too.
Each member has experience in writing and producing songs. SUGA produced the most, he is an established multiple awards winning producer, who creates music not only for BTS but also for other famous artists. RM is the second one with the most production credits. If we are talking about songwriting then RM is credited as songwriter the most, the second one is SUGA and the third one is J-Hope. All three of them are rappers and all three of them also release solo mixtapes
Oh, my guy. The more you tried to dig yourself out of that "I didn't know they were singing in English" hole, the deeper you went. 😂 Tip for the future - English proficiency isn't really high on the list of reasons why fans love them and their music. It's a given that they are Korean and will sing and speak in Korean, and if you want to sing along, you sing along in Korean. You need to check out some live concert videos of fans all over the world singing in Korean to really appreciate it:
- Young Forever at Wembley Stadium
- Fire at Good Morning America
- Epiphany at the Rose Bowl
Oh we sing along the songs alright. And yes, we do memorize them. Even the rap parts/verses. 🤣 i personally could memorize a song in half a day if i'd put my heart into it. Lol
BTS has admitted before in an interview that it's quite hard to be fair(tho they also said they always TRY to be fair) in distributing lines between the members. Some melodies/lines fit others best and some just don't sit right so they have to work around that. In terms of vocals, the main vocalist, Jungkook(violet mic) tends to have more lines(especially in the older songs, even until now sometimes) because he's the main vocalist. But they've all grown so versatile in their craft through the years that the line distribution have actually been fair in most parts. And all they have solo works/songs so they still shine in their own way.
Great reaction btw. First time viewer here. :))
We talk about the production a lot especially as they are so involved in it, they all have had a hand in production on different songs (however Suga and RM have produced the most so far). We talk about the lyrics all the time as well especially for the song they write because they're so deep and meaningful, I wish you could have seen the lyrics for Save me and Spring Day. I hope you've had time to look them up if not Doolset is a great site to get the translations.
The vocals are amazing and in my opinion they all have very very unique vocals, and yes we sing along whether we speak the language or not. (my poor family's ears I really can't sing) .They normally revise the English lines lots, so they're probably just looking at one of the cameras.
They try to distribute the singing lines as equally as possible but still have to allow for who's voice fits a certain part of the song best so in each song it can be slightly different.
Did you see their cover of coldplay's fix you?
BTW they all are the best of friends (or family as we like to think of them) and know each other for between 8-10 years now (it's different for each member, like Jimin joined the last) and have lived together for a long time.
They have a variety show you can watch for free called Run BTS you can see just how close they really are. They also have other programs as well so you get to learn a lot about them that way.
Yeah I think we all realise making songs is super hard otherwise more of us would try it right...I really think it's amazing how much work goes into it. So it always amazes me that Suga can produce a song in one day... it's like dude how? I thought it would take like a month.
So yeah BTS are amazing and sorry for rambling so much!!! 💜
You are spot on about the production! It’s amazing!!
One of the best things about BTS is that all the members have a distinct sound, J-hope and Jimin especially have very unique voices, and collectively they sound so good together.
I sing along to all BTS songs, sadly sometimes I butcher the Korean language but I am learning more and more each day so I'm getting better at it. Sometimes I sing along to most of the song, sometimes I stick to the chorus or hooks, sometimes I stick to the fanchants, and during rap songs I don't try for anything but the English lyrics.
9:50 this is the most spot on description of BTS performances I've ever heard. Because it's true, lol
And of course we sing along. I do it just like with other foreign songs, too (Spanish, French,...). I look up the words and if the pronunciation is too hard I'm singing gibberish. Everyone does that, right? I mean, did everyone just not sing when Despacito came out just because it's Spanish? Noo..
I like how the words sound so I never have a problem singing along despite not understanding each word individually.. obviously the meaning adds to the song as well.
Well Jungkook, third from left is main vocalist and Jimin, furthest to the right is lead vocalist. Usually the amount of lines per member depens on which type of song it is. In rap/hip hop song the rappers tend to have more, and in ballads the singers etc. Then all the rapper can sing, especially Jhope who was supposed to be a vocalist before starting rapping. Jungkook is also a good rapper. Jungkook tends to have the most lines.
Loved your reaction, Most of the time I focus on their vocals, it's great you point out the different sounds of the instruments in the back ground, really makes me more aware of them. thanks. I sing along the best I can. The more you hear the song the more you can sing along to it.
Sing in their native language along with the song of course! I look up the lyrics so I can understand what the song is about but for the most part it's about how a song makes me feel and the production, beat ect.. it's bonus that their majority of their songs have meaning and I can connect on that level as well which is a bonus! I love them so much they are my singers for my life. 💜🙆♀️💜🙆♀️💜🙆♀️
Loved your reaction because you pointed out a lot of things i never noticed about the production!! Great video^^
Thanks!
Actually all of them produce compose and put their hands on whatever they want! They’re really into their music since the beginning. It’s amazing. Credits to all those producers who works besides them too!
They live together for a decade now .. they are really close to one another .. they share the same dorm/apartment .
Pleade watch their performances
this was a great reaction!!!
i hope you can try doing some more commentary on their vocals too, please.
You're on fire today. Love your videos.
thanks a ton!!
Love your perspective reaction as a pro musician..make me more proud of them..they r trully talented n close as brothers thats why they hv great cemistry..new subs here💜
though we can't speak their natiomal language, we still try our best to get to know about their lyrics. we not only bob to their songs, we learn to sing their songs as well
Yay so glad to see you doing more bts 💓 you should check out their live concerts / performances and also become more familiar w their names etc.
great thanks!
@@JacobRestituto I'd love to see you react to their live concerts too!
They really have their own way of parcelling out their songs to what works best for them as whole. There is definitely "No I in Team" when it comes to BTS!! 💜 The one thing I have noticed recently is that Jungkook has recent begun to be more open and peaking about what being the "main vocalist" has meant to him. How he has viewed himself amd how he has more or less trained himself and has worked out his own way of singing rather than using vocal coaches. I found it fascinating because he was like 15-16 when he started doing this so, to even think about how he has grown and vocally along with the responsibilities of being the main vocalist, and all at such a young age is mind boggling! Thankfully, he was surrounded with so much love and support to be able to grow in a secure environment even when the rest of the world could love you one second then ripping you apart in the blink of an eye and sometimes only because someone likes another member or a different group more. He did become a bit withdrawn the past couple years, but seeing him back on VLive and generally enjoying all of the crazy a bit more than as of late is awesome!!!
Omg thankyou so much for the reaction 💜🙌
anytime!
Just saw this on my feed. Im subscribing😉
lol welcome to the channel!
Please Check BTS armypedia, its another level of BTS vibe too 😂
Just suscribed! I adore what you're doing!
Thank you!
Since becoming an ARMY I have started to learn Korean. It makes me very happy and proud of myself when I can sing along to the whole song with both correct pronunciation and understanding of the meaning of the lyrics. I still have a ways to go with studying Korean but their newest release "Film Out" has me thinking of trying to learn Japanese next.
They always give so much effort in making great music that's so healing and gives positivity we are looking for ( beautiful and meaningful lyrics) so in return, I always try to learn and memorize their song lyrics.
Thanks for reacting to this! I think this is my fav version of Dynamite because you can really hear their voices! So awesome! I love these guys...☺️💜💜
You’re now my favorite musician reactor. You’re so observant, technical and appreciative at the same time. Your knowledge and genuine comments. And you even asking us questions that will help you know the boys more. 💜
Wow thank y
We protect and defend them like an ARMY
I see that!
All seven members produce or co-produce most of their songs, but RM and Suga do the most producing out of the seven, they've even produced for other artists; Suga won a best producer award for a song her produced for an artist named Suran. The producer for Dynamite was also the writer, David Stewart.
ARMY stands for "Adorable Representative MC for Youth" and it was given to the BTS fanbase by their company, BigHit. BigHit also releases fan-chants for BTS songs. If you watch a live concert performance or one of their Korean music tv shows, you clearly hear the parts that the ARMY shouts or sings along to, either simultaneously or as call-and-response; although a lot of us can sing along with the Korean by ear... we listen to these songs a lot. :p
RM (blue hair), is the only one fluent in English, but the rest can speak some and have gotten a lot better over the years. Suga has said in a Vlive, that he understands a lot more than he can speak.
As far as harmonizing, they DO harmonize often, but not on every song (they have well over 200). Also, MOST of their songs have full choreography which can make it hard for harmonization when they're all dancing their asses off. Jungkook (third from left) is the main vocalist because he seems to have the most consistently stable voice while dancing, but all 4 vocalists, especially in the last few years, have a pretty even line distribution.
When we are at concerts we have a Fanchant for every song that most of army learns before going to a concert, we also have a fanchant for BTS is general. You should watch a live song and in the back you would definitely hear army singing the chant for every song o theirs
Army is their Fandom name. Bts gave us the name it stands for adorable representative m.c. for youth. It also ties in to the military image from their early days. Like the bts and army symbols when put together make a shield.
Being around for 8 years and being the biggest band in the world, I can assure you that people know how good BTS song production is, especially with the members all being producers themselves. 💜
All of them actually help to produce their song not only ONE. It mostly the rappers
Love your reaction!
I sing along. I only know some of the Korean words but that doesn’t stop me. And In concert they are incredible!
Some sing more than others for sure but they've said before that they actually talk and divide the parts among themselves based on who suits a certain part more. Jungkook is the main vocal of course the reason why he's often at the center, does the adlibs more and sings most of the harmonies in the track.
You are right about the fluent English speaker. His stage name is RM, real name Kim Namjoon. He taught himself English by watching the sitcom Friends. He is very cool. BTS stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan - Bulletproof Boyscouts. Represents their being resistant to "bullets" thrown at the youth through words and bullying etc. Their symbol being a bulletproof vest. They have outgrown that name now and are more grown up so now stands for Beyond the Scene and their symbol changed to an opening door to represent people who don't stay in their comfort zone but go forward through the door to learn new things and improve themselves. Apart from the ovious army meaning ARMY actually stands for Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth. Sorry this was so long! Just discovered your reactions this morning and I am loving the information you are giving. Thank you.
Sing along in korean.. phonetically... learning a language thru song is way easy...💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🇨🇦 ARMY started as Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth... I am a gray ARMY , they have changed my life as well as others..young and old.. check out Who is BTS: the 7 members of bangtan... will tell you who is who. Enjoy!
I'm only starting to get gray but I'm certainly the right age for it. As they say, when the time is right BTS finds you and they really changed and continue to change me for the better.
They're more than 10 yrs into their career. I trust they know what they're doing.
npr is my all time fav bts performance
they all have great distinct voices😍😍
With line distribiution it is hard for group with 7 people but they do good job, but a lot depens on song like if it is more pop or more hip hop or any onther style, in more popish songs rappers will have few lines and vocals will have most of song, and in hip hop heavy songs rappers have more of song. There are songs that are very evenly split. They said in interview that all depens on song and wich members style or voice fits better, that line are given. Also they have solos and unit song so members can have more time, like: rap line songs (3rapers) and vocal line songs (4vocalist). There are also mixed units.
With harmonis you have 4 vocals so if there are live singing together it will most likely 4 voices, but usually they do 2, in few songs there are all singing but it is not that often live (ex. concert, they do what they want there). Also the songs that they use in this kind of shows usually are more focus to show all members "alone"- give everyone a change to shine.
If you liked this there is "Armypedia" mini concert (also 3 songs) that they did like 2 years ago and it is great and also with band, very similar form.
And producion it is great in all they songs, like all songs are masterpieces, but most people don't have knowlage to take all this in and talk about it but fans know that they are great even if they don't know all this behind, thing that go into songs. And they have in house producers that are with them from begining there are line few people that mostly work with them (like 5-6) and there are this from time to time guest producers. And you have 3 producers in band they are also rappers they have credits in almost all songs, and they made a lot of songs for band. Another members try too make some beats etc.
You can watch video "BTS contribiution to music" on your own to see all this info, how they work, proces etc.
Most fans know some lyrics even in Korean or at last some words, but also you have this english parts that you where talking about- so anyone can sing this. And there are also official fanchant things - you got from thier agency befor concerts or music shows to know when to sing and what, so live are fun for everybody.
A.R.M.Y is acronim for Adorable Representative MC for Youth.
I've never seen a BTS reactor mostly ignore the vocals and focus so much on the instrumentals. 😄 You bring a unique perspective... I can't lie, it bugs me when you interrupt a very emotional lyrical line to comment on the high-hat or synth. That said, thanks for your reaction!
appreciate the honesty!! lol and. yeah, need to pull up the lyrics to know what theyre saying!
I did feel this too - especially when this was a performance that was all about the pared back production and focus on the vocals. I nearly cried when he talked and paused all over Hobi’s opening lines to Spring Day, but I guess that why we watch lot of different reactioners for different perspectives.
18:14 I do think some members sing more than others, the third one from the left whose name is Jungkook, is the main vocalist(:
Pls watch the MV of Save Me , it will brighten up your day. It is all done in 1 take , amazing !!!
They have literally been together for 10 years....going on 11. And by that, I mean they have literally lived together for that long, so their bond and their chemistry is very natural and real. Most of the members have had a hand in production at one point or another, but the rap line (RM - denim jacket, Suga - black jacket, and JHope - in all orange suit) are the ones who produce the most. There's not enough good things to say about Spring Day....it's the Queen, as we say in the fandom....it has never left the charts in Korea since it came out. Worth investigating it's lyrics/meaning. Jungkook - orange jacket/denim pants - is the main vocalist. It sounds like you might enjoy some of the songs that have just the vocal line in them (harmonies)....Try The Truth Untold, House of Cards, Butterfly, Zero O'Clock, or their cover of Jungle for Coca Cola.
Yes they get along with each other very well because they have been living together for years now(since the beginning even before they debuted).They have spent more time with each other than they did with their families.
Jungkook is the main singer and he usually does the background vocals, layering, adlibs etc Plz watch Jungkook the main vocalist by Ida S to understand better
cool thans
Thankyou for the reaction😍😍!!!! Please react to magic shop and truth untold live performances....
Please watch -Brazilian ARMY fanchant gives everyone Goosebumps- you will be surprise how they can sing in korean. It’s fantastic.
Cool thanks
I love how fast you talk
Also 3 of the rappers are the main producers, song writers and composers of their songs....the other members have also produced, wrote songs and also directed some of their mvs
