We need more new army like this, not just people who listen once, hype it up for a minute and then move on to the next. When you let the music and lyrics SPEAK TO YOU. The tannies really pour their heart and soul into their music so I LOVE that you’re going deep like this. If a member were to see this I bet it would be so meaningful to them!
You have a highly calibrated propensity for musical reviews. Any artist would be grateful to have anyone invest the time and thoughts you express about their music. Well done, I think you should explore that niche further.
".....highly calibrated propensity for musical reviews" I kind of understood what you meant but I still had to ask ChatGPT for an explanation😅. That's a beautiful way of complimenting our Tribe leader
Jimin earned a #1 in billboard hot100 today. BTS as a group has six #1 on Billboard Hot100... Jimin is the first BTS members to get a number one as a solo artist and with a debut song. Namjoon earned his fourth #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 as a songwriter. Non american artist did that, it's an historical moment. Now that we know it's possible, our next goal it's to give every BTS member a #1 on hot100. That would be awesome! 🥳💜
That's such an amazing historic achievement and from what I understand Joon gets writing credits for this song too, so he and Jimin share it (6 BTS BB #1 songs - it's incredible and it's the "7" again!! There's really something special about this "#7." I'm incredibly proud of them.😀😀😀
It's hilarious because the members hate giving speeches and always try to hide behind one another to avoid it but Joon keeps forcing them to have their turn on the mic XD
I think the other members' understanding of English has always been greater than their confidence in their abilities to use it. I think a lot of times Joon will nudge them because he knows practicing is the best way to improve. Jin studied in Australia for a few months when he was younger so I believe he has the basics but is just rusty for lack of use, but notice he's usually the second most talkative in English interviews. And there's a running joke that Suga is secretly fluent because he can be seen laughing at jokes or starting to answer questions before Joon even translates.
As an addendum, Namjoon was born and raised in Korea too, his English is self-taught. And he himself has said that it's harder to keep up the language skills without people/environment to practice. The first time the went to the US for the BBMAs in 2017, he was so stressed trying to represent the team properly, field subtly racist and xenophobic comments, be a leader, but yeah...he admitted In a live how after that day, he had a horrible headache and ended up calling ameeting, telling the guys that he's just like them, his mother language is Korean too....they felt sorry and bad for him and promised to work harder and learn some English for them. It's gotten better over the years. They now have an actual translator with them most of them time, whose job it is to help them out. And ARMYs try to tell them that it's fine, we're here for their music, not their English skills, don't stress about it. But they've all greatly improved in English! Many of them are taking lessons. RM never really took special lessons like that, so sometimes you can see him fumble for a word or see his brain get tired, but the man's a genius, you can just tell that he's self taught. So sometimes he'll have the most complex vocabulary, but it'll be easier for him to write than to string together sentences on the spot. His grammar is good tho, but sometimes you can tell from the syntax that he started with Korean
Dude, I love and appreciate you. It’s been such an incredibly long time since I felt like I had a “conversation” this open and deep about an artist/album. Suga/Agust D has a pretty extensive discography too! His album doesn’t drop until 4/21. But between him and RM? You will have plenty to cover the next few weeks. Lol
Came for the amazing in-depth commentary and respectful admiration and reaction to BTS music, personality, and story, staying for the slow burn with SugArmyy 🤣💜
OOO u should start yoongi discography and end/be caught up by the time his new stuff drops so u can just dive right in and experience it right away in the moment! and then do his compilations/interviews and stuff after u have listened to his new album….. and u can watch his promo stuff in the moment too…..yeeeeeeeeeeeee
You are not only impressively reflective in analysing music, but you are also incredible at phrasing it all into meaningful words. Thanks for always making my day with your uplifting videos! Keep it up!
There is this other band called Tomorrow by Together (TXT) which are BTS's juniors since they are from the same company BigHit Music. Initially there was a lot of pressure put on them for being the "next BTS" but they have grown in their own skin and surpassed expectations that were set since the beginning. A lot of rookies have the chance to learn and grow from their "mistakes" and build little by little, but TXT already had such high expectations that they were not allowed to make mistakes basically. Glad they are now known as TXT and not as "little BTS" anymore. Hopefully you give them a chance, their music, content, and personalities are great!
Yoongi's new album drops on 21st, it's almost 20 days so I believe extending RM week is a good idea. You can check out his collaboration songs, compilation etc ( btw he is called God of destruction by us because of how clumsy he so you might want to react to it too). And for Yoongi, he has a lot of songs too including collaborations so you can start early to catch up with that to be ready by the time he drops D-Day.
idk why but i loveeee watching people get to know bts’ personalities. its just to see them learn about them, laughing along with videos, see who they are outside of music. i just reallyyy enjoy it. i only enjoy music reactions from a few people (including you). allot of the times i watch their first bts reaction then skip to their first bts funny moments or anything that isnt a mv, lyric video, live perf. believe it or not i got into bts because a random crack video popped up in my recommended “bts moments i think abt allot” i had never heard of their music befote but i clicked on that video. and i kept going and then i got into their music. AND I LOVEEE YOUR REACTIONS LIKE THIS. i still enjoy your music reactions too ofc but these are always more enjoyable to me. i cannot wait for the next run bts video and yoongi week
There are many moments where RM is funny and sweet,he is not always in leader mode or intimidating or translating....there are many other videos available on yt
Lovely Mono review wow! Jungkook and Taehyung are the two youngest and “always get into trouble and yelled at together” 😂 also one of RMs “jobs” in the group is to take care of Taehyung as I think each of the older members have a specific one of the 3 young ones they look after (JHope - Jimin, Jin - Jungkook, Rm - Taehyung and Yoongi is the soft but cranky grandpa) this is very generalized but rm has said it’s his job to room with and look after Taehyung (who often gets called RMs baby for this reason in these compilations but really the 3 youngest are everyone’s kid brothers). And RM can’t do a lot of basic things like driving or cooking and breaks and looses everything so the other 6 all look after these basic life skills for him. Rm in an interview said he took one look at Tae and knew that this kid is so mischievous he is never going to listen to me”. They have some of the most awkward and ridiculous interviews over the years, they always end up so hilarious. But it’s sooo painful and bad that Yoongi has resorted to starting his own show “Suchwita” just for the purpose of giving the guys a place to let him talk with them and ask good questions about their solo projects. The same 5 dumb questions are sooo bad.
JIMIN GOT #1 ON BILLBOARD HOT 100 WITH LIKE CRAZY BTW WICH MADE HIM THE FIRST K-SOLOIST TO ACHIEVE THAT I HISTORY AND THE SECOND K--POP ACT TO BE ABLE TO TOP THE CHART AFTER BTS 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 no k-pop artist ever reached top 10 in that chart🤭🤭🤭🤭
Definitely do extend RM's week, there's so many songs you haven't heard. My 3 favorites are Change by Wale and RM, Too Much, and Fantastic. Definitely check out those 3 but he has many more.
wowwwww i lovee your interpretation in the beginning 😭😭😭😭 I always love gathering my thoughts like that after listening to their music. Their art is made to be soaked in and analyzed and applied Def agree that you should extend rm week and then get to yoongis discography before his album comes out 🙏🙏
I hope you watch RM’s Live in Rolling Hall Concert! It’s an hour long on the BANGTANTV channel and has subtitles for the talking parts. Thank you for taking so much time to really get to know everyone, it’s such a unique way of learning about BTS, I’m very much enjoying following you on the journey
i'm 100% fine to extend rm week until yoongi drops (friday is just a pre-release track btw, full albulm is on 4/21), but you need to do his mixtapes before the album! so you can see the progression, like for namjoon!!
"Are Jungkook and Taehyung the troublemakers of the group?" In a way, yes! When they're together they are always doing mischief, they constantly say they are being scolded together XD Sometimes Jimin and Jin joins them,, but the two youngest (Jungkook and Taehyung) are the most mischievous.
9:17 a lot of Korean and international media ask this question, to the point ARMY now uses this as a meme. The only people who can compete to be the next BTS are BTS members
YES! Thrilled you're going to do more RM. I truly pray you'll check out his recent collabs, there's Sexy Nukim with Balming Tiger, the video is OUT there but the song is SO hot, I'm addicted. Then also the newest one with a woman named SoYoon called Smoke Sprite, it's so good, forget singing this woman paints with her voice 💜💜💜💜💜 If you want more compilations you gotta look for god of destruction and Namjoon being a dad 🥰💜
Your review of mono was perfect, I felt the same way about it! I also think you should definitely extend a couple more days for Joon, I think ypu could make a whole video of all his collaborations, he has so many! 🔥
For the « next BTS » question, the industry has been literally obsessed with finding the next BTS. They want to get rid of them so bad and that’s a story for another time 😂 And to add a little bit of context kpop groups usually stay for only 7 years (their contract duration) and even if they signed another contract they rarely can stay relevant because companies rather invest in new younger groups
I got a lil choked up on his interpretation and review of mono. You felt exactly what I felt when I listened to it. That's why mono is now a part of me. Namjoon is more than my bias. He's the human that made me feel like I didn't need to be invincible all the time. He made me feel more human than I ever did. So when I say he's my bias, I mean he's my kindred spirit.
LOVE YOU FOR THIS. It might as well be RM month. And he's so worth it. There's so much content on him and he is often UNDERRATED. You are giving him his flowers and I'm loving this. THANK YOU
9:22 they have labelmate juniors known as TXT / tomorrow by together who they love and adore a lot, and was their company's first group in a long time after BTS. a lot of ppl expected them to be "the next BTS" but I would say that group stands on their own feet perfectly well, and don't try to be BTS. Besides TXT, there have been PLENTYYYYY of attempts by other big companies to cash in on BTS' success and name to promote their own new groups as "the next BTS" or "avengers of Kpop" or whatever and have never really seen success in that route because BTS' success has been extremely organic and kind of non-formulaic and mildly unpredictable at times. You just cannot replicate the accidental fateful popularity explosion and genuine fan love these guys generate.
Re: your commentary of mono- Joon said he most identified with uh good. And everythingoes affects me the same way. Before long, my face is wet with tears. And your summarization of it healing through pain is a good one. I can’t escape the dual feelings of everything goes, the positive aspect, where nothing, including unwanted, will persist. BUT there’s that damned other side of it, that everything goes, including desired things such as love, health, and even life, and for some reason I just can’t ignore the depth of it. I truly enjoyed your thoughtful notes 💜 As to the media questions, that’s the Korean media.. and the question surrounding the “next BTS”. SRSLY needs to be disappeared. Fun fact: if you see Joon raise an eyebrow, or suck in his cheeks, prepare to deal with his controlled wrath with a barrage of carefully-chosen words
Playing Rock Paper Scissors with you has honestly become one of the highlights of your videos I look forward to lol. And proud to say I *finally* caught you today hahaha
I absolutely loved your mono analysis! And again love love that you respect the art and the artist enough to give it time and ponder on it. And how you brighten up my day and remind me of the days when I felt the same before; thankyou so much! RM is a multitalented philosophical goofball! Thats his inner core. And it comes out the most when he's with his 6 found brothers and its a treat to watch someone be that mature, smart and still be clumsy, silly and a tad forgetful at the same time.
Dude the change up from the mono review into 👏complilations👏 has me dead 😂😂😂😂. Rock paper scissors: tie tie loss. I'll get you next time!❤ I was just thinking I wanted to watch more Run BTS lately. I agree.
The way Namjoon asks: "Will we produce a whole album in English? That's the question?" in a tone that screams: "I heard you, but I'm gonna give you a chance to ask something less stupid." 🤣
yo someone should send you an Indigo album. It's soooo beautiful, like a complementary sensorial experience of the songs. (Albuns are too expensive in my country, but many US armys are generous and like to gift their friends and fav reactors) 💜
Well, whatever the rest of this video is that I'm about to watch, I didn't want to proceed without saying how awesome your intro reflection on mono was. How you taking time to be introspective is exactly what RM wants his music to do. To inspire and comfort and heal and relate. Fire! 🔥Borahae! 💜
Yay for extended RM week! Ngl, mono and Indigo are the best but his collabs are gems too and I hope you get to those. And excited for Yoongi week too! Another member who has a bigger discography so his week might get extended as well 😅 And I just want to note that there are clips of Joon being done translating (and it's for fun) but it's a tiny tiny part of how much he actually seriously translates. Compilations are for fun but long-form contents, with context, are more informative
Joon refusing to translate is some tough love, encouraging them. English is not my first language either, and I understand the panic. I used to know a lot of English, I used to understand everything that people said but I never spoke and until I did I had a lot of problems because I was tremendously shy/was scared to speak and make mistakes (maybe not as much as these guys, Asian are *usually* special -- as a teacher of a 2nd language, I learnt in sociology that even with exceptions, there are cultural reasons for people from some regions to behave this or that way while learning)
LOL yep Taehyung and Jungkook are “partners in crime”. Taehyung has said that he has never fought seriously with Jungkook when they were younger but that they would get in trouble together 😂
You’re so eighth about these interviews/questions. That’s why BTS loves Zach Sang and his interviews- he’s the only one that really dives into it with the group, most earnest, true. Check out those interviews, RM did a solo on with him for Indigo promotion. Also, check out the other interviews of other artists who collaborated with BTS. Good listen.
everyone cry with me... back in their earlier days, namjoon would translate comments from netizens for the members. he would read mean and hateful comments and "translate" them into something positive for the rest so they wouldn't have to deal with the negative. namjoon the best leader!
Yoongi's new pre-release track will drop this FRIDAY!! The new album is the FINAL chapter of the AGUST D trilogy so I think u really HAVE to listen to his 1st 2 mixtapes (Agust D and D2) BEFORE reacting to the new pre-release track and D-DAY album!!!!!
It'll help u to follow Yoongi's story and messages better. Since u already did RM's main music (mixtapes n solo album), u can get to RM's collabs AFTER yoongi's pre-release track while waiting for Yoongi's full album drop on 21 April!
I'll be honest, I think mono is still my favorite solo project from BTS. I love all their albums, but mono is special to me...loved your breakdown so sooo much Edit: 3 for 3 , beat you all 3 timea
I am loving your reviews. ‘Cleansing’ is the perfect word for Mono. And I agree with your feelings on Everything Goes. That song has become my mantra. Welcome to the existential crisis that is BTS. 🤣💜
About the juniors: their company, BigHit Music only had them and senior artist (WONDERFUL vocalist, check him out!) Lee Hyun. They debuted a new male group in 2019 named TXT (Tomorrow x Together) and even though BTS adores the "babies" (as they call them) and the babies admire and love BTS to pieces as their seniors and also as big bros, they actually have a "hidden" really good relationship: hidden precisely bc they didn't want that to be counterproductive for TXT as they would label them as "BTS' juniors"/"next BTS?" so they have waited until TXT has a solid career and fanbase to let see snippets that they actually are really close. (TXT are 5 members and they are adorable imho and have really good music, RM helped with one of their songs: 0x1 Lovesong). :D
oooooo i love what you said about mono being cleansing it feels like putting a lump of charcoal in dirty water and just sitting there with it patiently until it soaks up all the impurities
I just want to say I appreciate you so much, you're unique, genuine and real. You are refreshing, I enjoy watching you. Having you as a part of my day is stimulating. Thank you for putting in the effort 💜
I'm binging on your reactions a year late, but I just want to pause and say how much I love you revisiting an album with notes about your thoughts once you've had a chance to digest them. It's everything. 💜 Thanks so much for doing that and sharing yourself & your thoughts that way
Look I watch dozens of reactors but I NEVER subscribe because 1) the algorithm is so good it ends up on my feed anyway and 2) no matter how entertaining or genuine they are, I still feel like they don't deserve clout just for listening to bts. But Loui, I just subscribed to you because you are different in that you truly connect with the music. You don't just appreciate it, you let it settle, simmer, revisit it, and let it change you and see yourself the world in a different light because of it. And THAT'S the kind of reaction to bts music I love and want to see more of in this world. Not just minds blown and shocked faces and upturned expectations. But actual connection to the message, the lyrics, the music. That's the kind of tribe I want to join. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! 💜
Unfortunately, especially in the K-Pop Industry, after a group or artist hits their late 30s and (very rarely) their early 40s, the industry tries their damnest to forget about them, take them out of the spotlight, etc. Very few groups reach 10 years, let alone 20+
I agree with the other comments recommending RM features like Smoke Sprite and Sexy Nukim. Also would love to see you watch RM live in Seoul @ Rolling Hall 💜
The "juniors" that was mentioned is a translation of the Korean word hoobae(후배), which means someone with less experience in a given field, and seniors or sunbae(선배) are those with more experience. So in school for example hoobaes are those who started after sunbaes, and in the case of the music industry and BTS here, any artist that debuted after BTS are considered their hoobaes or juniors. So it's not like there is an actual BTS jr. anywhere 😂 Btw if you watch interviews of other Korean musicians who started after BTS you will notice them calling them BTS sunbae-nim or Bangtan Sonyeondan sunbae-nim to show respect - the -nim ending is a honorific that expresses respect and formality.
We need more new army like this, not just people who listen once, hype it up for a minute and then move on to the next. When you let the music and lyrics SPEAK TO YOU. The tannies really pour their heart and soul into their music so I LOVE that you’re going deep like this. If a member were to see this I bet it would be so meaningful to them!
We need more reactors like Tribe loui 💜
Loui puts much passion into his reactions - thoughts,, editing, awareness of army 🎉
For real
Exactly 😭😭💯💯💯

Yes. Was blown away by TL's raw honesty & deeply reflective review.
FOR REAL!!! if i were an artist i would be so happy to have someone deep dive into my work like this. the highest honour.
Bro, I think Namjoon himself would appreciate your words about his mono album. This dude gets it. 👍
Jimin earned a #1 in billboard hot100 today. BTS as a group has six #1 on Billboard Hot100... Jimin is the first BTS members to get a number one as a solo artist and with a debut song.

YES! Thrilled you're going to do more RM. I truly pray you'll check out his recent collabs, there's Sexy Nukim with Balming Tiger, the video is OUT there but the song is SO hot, I'm addicted. Then also the newest one with a woman named SoYoon called Smoke Sprite, it's so good, forget singing this woman paints with her voice
💜💜💜💜💜
If you want more compilations you gotta look for god of destruction and Namjoon being a dad 🥰💜
RM es ARTE,en todo su esplendor 🥹 Kim NamJoon es todo lo que está bien en la vida.
Namjoon does feel like a dad sometimes. A dad who's like, "Do I need to turn this fvcking car around? 'Cause I will if you don't BEHAVE" 🤨
Your review of mono was perfect, I felt the same way about it!
I also think you should definitely extend a couple more days for Joon, I think ypu could make a whole video of all his collaborations, he has so many! 🔥
Namjoon was writing down the lyrics to CYPHER 5 😂
Excited for RM extended week he has a lot of content
For the « next BTS » question, the industry has been literally obsessed with finding the next BTS. They want to get rid of them so bad and that’s a story for another time 😂
And to add a little bit of context kpop groups usually stay for only 7 years (their contract duration) and even if they signed another contract they rarely can stay relevant because companies rather invest in new younger groups
I got a lil choked up on his interpretation and review of mono. You felt exactly what I felt when I listened to it. That's why mono is now a part of me. Namjoon is more than my bias. He's the human that made me feel like I didn't need to be invincible all the time. He made me feel more human than I ever did. So when I say he's my bias, I mean he's my kindred spirit.
15:40 my favorite part about this clip is immediately after Yoongi says in English “I lost my Taehyung! I lost my Taehyung”😂
😭😭so cute
LOVE YOU FOR THIS. It might as well be RM month. And he's so worth it. There's so much content on him and he is often UNDERRATED. You are giving him his flowers and I'm loving this. THANK YOU
Yoongi's album officially actually drops April 21 so there's awhile to go.
9:22 they have labelmate juniors known as TXT / tomorrow by together who they love and adore a lot, and was their company's first group in a long time after BTS. a lot of ppl expected them to be "the next BTS" but I would say that group stands on their own feet perfectly well, and don't try to be BTS. Besides TXT, there have been PLENTYYYYY of attempts by other big companies to cash in on BTS' success and name to promote their own new groups as "the next BTS" or "avengers of Kpop" or whatever and have never really seen success in that route because BTS' success has been extremely organic and kind of non-formulaic and mildly unpredictable at times. You just cannot replicate the accidental fateful popularity explosion and genuine fan love these guys generate.
He’s also EXTREMELY clumsy, oh my GOD. Just don’t let that man hold anything.
Re: your commentary of mono- Joon said he most identified with uh good. And everythingoes affects me the same way. Before long, my face is wet with tears. And your summarization of it healing through pain is a good one. I can’t escape the dual feelings of everything goes, the positive aspect, where nothing, including unwanted, will persist. BUT there’s that damned other side of it, that everything goes, including desired things such as love, health, and even life, and for some reason I just can’t ignore the depth of it.
I truly enjoyed your thoughtful notes 💜
As to the media questions, that’s the Korean media.. and the question surrounding the “next BTS”. SRSLY needs to be disappeared. Fun fact: if you see Joon raise an eyebrow, or suck in his cheeks, prepare to deal with his controlled wrath with a barrage of carefully-chosen words
Lmao. SugArmyy ❤️ Tribe Loui: unrequited love.
Playing Rock Paper Scissors with you has honestly become one of the highlights of your videos I look forward to lol. And proud to say I *finally* caught you today hahaha
I absolutely loved your mono analysis! And again love love that you respect the art and the artist enough to give it time and ponder on it. And how you brighten up my day and remind me of the days when I felt the same before; thankyou so much! RM is a multitalented philosophical goofball! Thats his inner core. And it comes out the most when he's with his 6 found brothers and its a treat to watch someone be that mature, smart and still be clumsy, silly and a tad forgetful at the same time.
Dude the change up from the mono review into 👏complilations👏 has me dead 😂😂😂😂.
Rock paper scissors: tie tie loss. I'll get you next time!❤
I was just thinking I wanted to watch more Run BTS lately. I agree.
The way Namjoon asks: "Will we produce a whole album in English? That's the question?" in a tone that screams: "I heard you, but I'm gonna give you a chance to ask something less stupid." 🤣
I knew you were gonna still pick scissors 🤣🤣🤣
" when u step outside that museum, u take a deep breadth & on that shaking breadth u feel cleansed" oh WOW you describe MONO so beautifully.💜💜💜
yo someone should send you an Indigo album. It's soooo beautiful, like a complementary sensorial experience of the songs. (Albuns are too expensive in my country, but many US armys are generous and like to gift their friends and fav reactors) 💜
Thanks for the extension of reaction... we all love our president Namjoon!! Such a genius... beautiful artist!!
Bruh the switch flipped from reviewing mono into 👏compilations👏 has me dead 😂😂😂.
Our rock paper scissors: tie tie loss. I'll get you next time!!
Well, whatever the rest of this video is that I'm about to watch, I didn't want to proceed without saying how awesome your intro reflection on mono was. How you taking time to be introspective is exactly what RM wants his music to do. To inspire and comfort and heal and relate. Fire! 🔥Borahae! 💜
Yay for extended RM week! Ngl, mono and Indigo are the best but his collabs are gems too and I hope you get to those. And excited for Yoongi week too! Another member who has a bigger discography so his week might get extended as well 😅
And I just want to note that there are clips of Joon being done translating (and it's for fun) but it's a tiny tiny part of how much he actually seriously translates. Compilations are for fun but long-form contents, with context, are more informative
I'm sure RM would love hearing you refer to his music that you see in an art gallery.
Joon refusing to translate is some tough love, encouraging them.
English is not my first language either, and I understand the panic. I used to know a lot of English, I used to understand everything that people said but I never spoke and until I did I had a lot of problems because I was tremendously shy/was scared to speak and make mistakes (maybe not as much as these guys, Asian are *usually* special -- as a teacher of a 2nd language, I learnt in sociology that even with exceptions, there are cultural reasons for people from some regions to behave this or that way while learning)
LOL yep Taehyung and Jungkook are “partners in crime”. Taehyung has said that he has never fought seriously with Jungkook when they were younger but that they would get in trouble together 😂
You’re so eighth about these interviews/questions. That’s why BTS loves Zach Sang and his interviews- he’s the only one that really dives into it with the group, most earnest, true. Check out those interviews, RM did a solo on with him for Indigo promotion. Also, check out the other interviews of other artists who collaborated with BTS. Good listen.
We’re tied on rock paper scissors, we’ll need to do a tie breaker on the next complication video 😂😂
everyone cry with me... back in their earlier days, namjoon would translate comments from netizens for the members. he would read mean and hateful comments and "translate" them into something positive for the rest so they wouldn't have to deal with the negative. namjoon the best leader!
Man, your notes on mono are beautiful. I loved them.
THE WAY I LOSED FOR ALL 3 ROCK PAPER SCISSOR 😭😭😭
Now we enter the Tribe Class..should i do my essay too?😂👏💜
Yoongi's new pre-release track will drop this FRIDAY!! The new album is the FINAL chapter of the AGUST D trilogy so I think u really HAVE to listen to his 1st 2 mixtapes (Agust D and D2) BEFORE reacting to the new pre-release track and D-DAY album!!!!!
It'll help u to follow Yoongi's story and messages better. Since u already did RM's main music (mixtapes n solo album), u can get to RM's collabs AFTER yoongi's pre-release track while waiting for Yoongi's full album drop on 21 April!
thanks for extending it cause i feel like more joon was needed
RM is the one and only Ambassador of BOTTEGA VENETA in ever
lmaoo jungkook and taehyung are the two youngest
Partners in crime, always. 😂
I'll be honest, I think mono is still my favorite solo project from BTS. I love all their albums, but mono is special to me...loved your breakdown so sooo much
Edit: 3 for 3 , beat you all 3 timea
I am loving your reviews. ‘Cleansing’ is the perfect word for Mono. And I agree with your feelings on Everything Goes. That song has become my mantra. Welcome to the existential crisis that is BTS. 🤣💜
About the juniors: their company, BigHit Music only had them and senior artist (WONDERFUL vocalist, check him out!) Lee Hyun. They debuted a new male group in 2019 named TXT (Tomorrow x Together) and even though BTS adores the "babies" (as they call them) and the babies admire and love BTS to pieces as their seniors and also as big bros, they actually have a "hidden" really good relationship: hidden precisely bc they didn't want that to be counterproductive for TXT as they would label them as "BTS' juniors"/"next BTS?" so they have waited until TXT has a solid career and fanbase to let see snippets that they actually are really close. (TXT are 5 members and they are adorable imho and have really good music, RM helped with one of their songs: 0x1 Lovesong).
:D
Lmao I was just checking your channel in case you've uploaded.. then it just showed up in my feed 😂
I hope that one day Namjoon see your series reacting to his work. Thank you so much 💜
oooooo i love what you said about mono being cleansing
it feels like putting a lump of charcoal in dirty water and just sitting there with it patiently until it soaks up all the impurities
I just want to say I appreciate you so much, you're unique, genuine and real. You are refreshing, I enjoy watching you. Having you as a part of my day is stimulating. Thank you for putting in the effort 💜
I WAS WAITING FOR YOUR VIDEOOOO YEEEEEEY😩😩
Well spoken young man, well spoken!!!!!!!!! Your words were very touching and put into words so elegantly how a lot of us felt listening to Mono!!!!!!
Yes extend it... his collabs are God tier
3:53 Omg bro- slow down with that energy I’m still crying
Taehyung said that him and Jungkook don't fight but they get scolded together 😂
I'm binging on your reactions a year late, but I just want to pause and say how much I love you revisiting an album with notes about your thoughts once you've had a chance to digest them. It's everything. 💜 Thanks so much for doing that and sharing yourself & your thoughts that way
Look I watch dozens of reactors but I NEVER subscribe because 1) the algorithm is so good it ends up on my feed anyway and 2) no matter how entertaining or genuine they are, I still feel like they don't deserve clout just for listening to bts. But Loui, I just subscribed to you because you are different in that you truly connect with the music. You don't just appreciate it, you let it settle, simmer, revisit it, and let it change you and see yourself the world in a different light because of it. And THAT'S the kind of reaction to bts music I love and want to see more of in this world. Not just minds blown and shocked faces and upturned expectations. But actual connection to the message, the lyrics, the music. That's the kind of tribe I want to join. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! 💜
i get so excited whenever i get notifs for ur channel!! fav reactor right now
Unfortunately, especially in the K-Pop Industry, after a group or artist hits their late 30s and (very rarely) their early 40s, the industry tries their damnest to forget about them, take them out of the spotlight, etc. Very few groups reach 10 years, let alone 20+
I love how your titles are full on stories it makes me smile every time 😂😂💜
I agree with the other comments recommending RM features like Smoke Sprite and Sexy Nukim. Also would love to see you watch RM live in Seoul @ Rolling Hall 💜
Namjoon Indigo Rolling Hall performance please !!
The "juniors" that was mentioned is a translation of the Korean word hoobae(후배), which means someone with less experience in a given field, and seniors or sunbae(선배) are those with more experience. So in school for example hoobaes are those who started after sunbaes, and in the case of the music industry and BTS here, any artist that debuted after BTS are considered their hoobaes or juniors. So it's not like there is an actual BTS jr. anywhere 😂
Btw if you watch interviews of other Korean musicians who started after BTS you will notice them calling them BTS sunbae-nim or Bangtan Sonyeondan sunbae-nim to show respect - the -nim ending is a honorific that expresses respect and formality.
You need to do one of the RM god of destruction videos! Man is clumsy af LOL. 💜💜💜💜💜
