Seo Taiji started the movement. He is considered tbe "President of culture". And on his 25th aniversary Time Traveller Concert he choses BTS as special guests. That's why people say he is passing the torch to BTS.
This was an amazing concert/event…it’s really one for the books!
@@wongpauline22 It was an incredible concert - and Seo Taiji recently put the entire concert up on his youtube channel. I had originally just planned to watch the BTS bits, but I was blown away by Seo Taiji's whole concert.
Yes, Seo Taiji is truly a living legend in Korean music! His 25th anniversary concert featured BTS and he acknowledge that they are his successor!
Here is the link to the full Seo Taiji 25th Anniversary concert which featured BTS for those who haven't watch the concert! (It's 2 1/2 hours!) th-cam.com/video/yU6h08srHt8/w-d-xo.html The was an AMAZING concert!
Here is the link to the shorten highlights of the BTS performances with him. (It's 26 minutes! Haha!) th-cam.com/video/cOlb_mQZFrU/w-d-xo.html It's hard to believe Seo Taiji was 45 years old during this concert! (Same age as JungKook's Dad!) He looks like his 30 years old!
Here's the link to the behind the scenes of BTS practicing with Seo Taiji for the concert (with English Subtitles) th-cam.com/video/SmjGvs58mVs/w-d-xo.html
@@Heathmah exactly! Amazing concert
@@fy3845 one of the best ever!
Please continue this series every friday til the end! (There's 20 episodes) We would appreciate it. You will really learn a lot about bangtan.
There are 21. 21 is Magic shop.
Yes! I love BTS and have never seen this series. I would love to watch it together.
Yes, please...
yes please
Chapter 22 and 23 coming.
You're 100% right about how idols are made. At least, that is why BTS were quite different. Hitman Bang left his work with the Big 3 company with a disdain for how the Kpop industry was functioning. He left and created BigHit with the idea that he wanted to create a self producing group that focused on a strong message and substance behind their lyrics. You can read his speech about this if you Google it. It was for the large Seoul University. BTS were literally composed as a group for the variety and passion in all 7. They all brought in something unique. And remember, several members were mocked because they did NOT fit the idol image. So from the get go, BTS challenged the industry standard, and that scared the industry. Because if BTS could do it differently and succeed in a way the Big 3 traditionally didn't, then what use is the traditional way the Big 3 followed in making the industry a for profit production?
Because of that, you can understand why the industry did just about everything they could to keep BTS from succeeding. Rise of Bangtan is an insane jewel of ARMY. We are so proud and grateful of those who put such work into making it.
PLEASE DO THESE EVERY FRIDAY! 💜💜💜 Borahae!!
100% agree , Wonderful Comment ArmyFam!! BORAHAE! 💜🙌🏻🥰
@@armymomot7931thank you, Ami 💜💜 It is something I'm passionate about. Bang PD is so good to them. Their bond is so beautiful. 💜💜💜
@@vikzytoria same for me! BTS being able to be their very vulnerable selves to share with Army quite literally saved my teens life! I had to research and then inevitably fell in love with them all! I’m a silver 54yr old Army that is loyal, supportive and Happier because of them!!
BangPD is my Anpanman!
Fantastic explanation! My son was initially very upset when he saw this episode, but when I explained that BigHit was different, then he got it. Remember, when the company went public, each member was given many shares, and became multi millionaires overnight. Not many companies do that, and it shows how much they are valued as a part of the success of the company.
@@kelannjanesak655 oh absolutely. And they truly have the best relationship with Bang PD. They don't even have to speak to him with honorifics now. Him stating they are his equals was so adorable. And as a multifan of some 4th gen groups from small companies, they now have just as much ability to shine without the Big 3, and that will always be BTS' legacy to have paved the way for the next gens. 💜💜
The lady that owns the restaurant (at 11:53) is still running the same restaurant and she is the sweetest ever. She does birthday events/ decorations for the boys and always wishing them the best. She’s probably the first army?? 😄 she’s absolutely just the sweetest
the lady who used to cook for them said they weren't like the other kids, so even back then people noticed how nice/special the guys are
Aneesa has done an amazing job with this series. She is currently working on the last couple of chapters. There will be 23(?) chapters when she is done. She also has deleted scenes and bonus content for most of the chapters. She is a professional film editor and works in Los Angeles. She has received awards for her other work.
As to your question about watching the other chapters, it really depends on you and how you want to proceed. You are still pretty knew to BTS, so on the one hand this is a good tutorial; on the other hand, this will tease you with songs and performances you have not seen. She does cover all the aspects of their journey, so it is always an emotional ride--we are either crying from sadness, pride, anger or joy.
And just a sidebar here...
When the members tell their age, you will need to subtract a year or two to get their International age. In KOrea, when you are born, you are 1 year old. On January 1st, you turn a year older. V was born December 30, 1995. Two days later, on January 1st, he was two. When JK says that the joined BigHit (and moved to Seoul) when he was 15, he was 13 in international age.
Generally, I will subtract 2 years for JK (born Sept), RM b. Sept), Jimin (b. Oct), Jin (b. Dec.), and V, and subtract 1 year for Suga (b. March) and J-Hope (b. Feb).
I’m so glad we have such an amazing person like her in our fandom
Wow!
Thank you so much for explaining the age to me! I had no idea that was a thing in Korea! Really appreciate that and can't believe how young they all were!! 💜
Oh I just saw a mistake you did there. J-Hope was born in February
@@georgiarose818 Thank you! I fixed it,💜
GET YOUR SNACKS! Have an awesome weekend!!
Please react to each members habits to know them better and personally

Check out a skit they did called House of Army, it is hilarious. It would be a good one for Friday it's kind of long.
That's how Jin was picked. A BigHit executive just plucked him out of the bus. However, Bang PD wanted a different group that are allowed to be who they are and giving the boys creative freedom under one stipulation: the songs they write have to be about themselves and their life experiences of their youth. Bang PD was ahead of his time and vision...the boys were fated to be for this journey and lives of those that follow them are changed forever. So very proud ARMY member 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜! Borahe!
I just love their story, it really does feel like they were faited to be this group together as a family 💜
Finally🥳,The Rise Of Bangtan let's gooo💃💃💃🕺. And by the way, for every chapter, there are deleted scenes + bonus content. You should check them out too as they are more lighthearted and less serious than the chapter and also showcase their personalities and goofiness.
Can't believe I was already by their side at this time... It's been a very long journey but when I look at all these videos it feels like it was just yesterday !! I love them more then love and I'm so so proud of them !!
I really love all your videos and I'm so glad you're watching these videos to dive a little bit deeper 😇
Have a great week end 💜
It does break your heart, doesn't it? But it shows why they are different. They have been transparent since the beginning. ARMY has walked their journey with them and that's why we are unshakeable and unbreakable- Bulletproof 💜💜
Forgot to mention: there are currently 22 episodes (not including bonus and deleted scenes eps). Aneeza plans on two more eps and then ending the series. She's taken a bit of a break due to burnout and Federal jury duty but I believe she is working on the edits. But you have a long way to go before you catch up. It's a ride!! 🙂
Seo Taiji and Boys were only active between 1992-1996, but had a major impact. The first two big boy groups that come to mind are H.O.T. who debuted in 1996 and the Sechs Kies who debuted in 1997. The fandom for H.O.T. and Sech Kies were the beginning of the massive fandoms we see today, although reportedly they did some nutty things. The Kdrama called Reply 1997 shows what it was like in the beginning.
Yeah, this series can be very emotionally heavy, and I’ve admittedly cried a lot during some episodes. BUT! There’s also the Bonus and Deleted scenes that include hilarious content. If you want to cheer up after watching the episodes, I recommend those! 💜
The best this for me about this particular docuseries is that the amazing creator is allowing the members to tell their story in their own words and doesn't create a narrative for them. The series is going to hurt your heart in some of the episodes but it also showcases that they didn't rise to fame out of no where but struggled from day one to become the global superstar group that we know today. THIS is the kind of information I wish we would see in mainstream media rather than lowkey labeling BTS as a fad that won't have any long lasting effects on the music industry. It also speaks volumes about how much ARMY love and adore our boys to the point where we get these outstanding fan made videos to give proper context about the group, their music and the hardships along the way.
This ended up becoming a tradition, they always celebrate their birthday in lives with us hahaha I find their story inspiring, to see how hard they worked and are still working, makes all their success even more beautiful, not to mention that sometimes we forget that they came from different parts of korea, meaning they lived far from their families, jungkook for example was only 13 years old when he became a trainee, he must have missed his family a lot, that's why he always says that the members raised him! Please react to all episodes of the series in your own time, for me it would be a new episode every day so don't ask for my opinion! hahahahaha
Also, there’s the Bonus and Deleted scenes that include hilarious content. If you want to cheer up after watching the episodes!
I had mentioned that there is a dark side of Kpop, they skimmed the top with some things in this episode. There's so much pressure on these kids not only from the Entertainment company but also from toxic fans who give negative opinions. So much to the point that a few Idols chose to end their pain by leaving this earth way to young. As you mentioned, if you want to see their journey to fame, you have to see the bad and worse as well as the great and happy. You will learn alot about, not only BTS, but Kpop in general through this series.
Don’t apologise. There are people out there who don’t realise how hard it was for them 💜💜
💜💜💜
One thing to remember is that the members almost always use Korean age when they talk about how old they are. When Jungkook said he was 16, he was actually only 15 in international age (and still 15 when they debuted in June 2013). The pressure on all of them was huge, but even more so for a literal child as the main singer and centre of a group with essentially one shot at success and a lot stacked against them.
Others have mentioned the ‘dark side’ of K-pop and there are real and very serious issues. In a sense the members of BTS were lucky in the agency that they signed to. Big Hit isn’t perfect but I think Bang Si-Hyuk is a pretty genuine guy and maybe the lack of cash helped. They had to work hard to make it but they could do so more on their own terms than is usual in the industry… they could truly own their success.
3:15 I recommend you react to "Kpop History in 20mins | From SeoTaiji to BTS" (by DKDKTV). It's a great introduction to kpop, talking about how it all started from the 1st gen, you'll love it.
I think Seo Taiji is the father of k-pop. It’s good to see their story from the beginning. It helps you to understand why ARMY is so protective of them. Please keep watching this series. It’s very good and you’ll learn so much. I haven’t watched it all and look forward to watching it with you. Please. 🙏🏻
Can I tell you how much you bright my days with this reactions? :) Seriously keep it up you reacting to BTS contend puts as smile on my face as much as BTS puts a smile in yours ^^
Same!
So kind!! Thank you! Much love 💜💜
Totally agree, yesterday my hubby said “obviously your watching BTS because of that big smile on your face” I replied “actually I’m watching Luke do a BTS reaction video…he’s awesome!” 😊
Would love to see you follow along their journey through this series. If it’s not much to ask, maybe you’d like to consider doing a reaction to a chapter (along with the bonus and deleted scenes) each Friday. It’s an amazing way to truly understand why ARMY is as massive as it is. A lot of us were introduced to them through their music, but what made us ARMY is getting to know these guys and learning about their history and how much their highs and lows mirror our own. It features a lot of their discography as well, so more music reactions to look forward to. As always, this was a treat and watching your journey always makes my day.😊 Thank you!
I’ve been crying through this also Luke. I’ve seen this 4 times and I cry every time. Don’t feel shy or embarrassed. We are only humans my friend. 🥰💜
I know this is heavy, but it just means that when you listen to songs from that era you'll feel it in your heart that much more. I'm so glad you're doing this series! 💜
Shamefully, I have never actually got around to watching Rise of Bangtan so I'm really looking forward to watching along with you each week. I'm fully with you that, although I knew BTS had had a rough time, it's completely different actually seeing and hearing it in their own words. Their dedication never fails to astound me. Becoming a fan was one of the best decisions I ever made 💜
Same 🤫🥴
Today is my Monday so I’m starting my week on the bright side.
I hope you continue this series. 🙏 BTS are people and getting to know their story is honestly essential to understand their music. It'll give you a better appreciation and understanding of the context when each song and album was released, what the guys were struggling through, why they wrote songs like they did. I see you asking how you can give back and honestly there's no need for you to do so but if anything, just take the time to see how these guys have lived so far in order to shine so bright that they could even drag us out of our darkness. The industry they grew up in has many limitations, and I'm proud of them for breaking apart and out of it. This series will help you understand that before BTS even broke barriers and stereotypes in the international scene, they had so many walls surrounding them just in SK. Their journey in itself is so inspiring and Aneesa (Rise of Bangtan) compiled it in such an easy to consume format. I dunno if you decide not to post it, it's fine but please continue on the series even for your own consumption. It's worth it. 🙏
Happy Friday! Love Rise of Bangtan, only on episode 4, but my family is watching with me (secretly trying to convert them to Army!) 😂 Have a great weekend!
I hope you succeed. Fighting!
OMG YES FINALLY! Rise of Bangtan! Such a fantastic docu-series!
I think the episodes of The Rise of Bangtan are a good watch for you to get to know BTS’s journey from the very beginning 🥰
woohoo! I'm grabbing my popcorn! 🎉🎉❤
* 40 mins later *
I love this series because it's real. It tells it like it is. And knowing the lows makes you appreciate the highs even more.
This series rolled into my heart, and rewatching it with you is amazing! Looking forward to part 2! 💜💜💜
Omgeeeee you started this documentary that I love 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 make sure to react to the deleted scenes and bonus contents too
Yes, absolutely keep watching this series. Include the “bonus content” and “deleted scenes” that go along with each episode (ch 1 & 2 only have deleted scenes). Those videos will make your reaction a little longer but they often contain some of the funniest, silliest nuggets that can brighten your heart after whatever heaviness was in the chapter itself. They aren’t all as hard as this one. The early ones are particularly tough but, like you said, it’s the truth.
I’m sure other people have already mentioned it but when they talk about their ages, they are giving their Korean age which is calculated different than international age which the rest of the world uses and inflates their age by 1-2 years. (It’s complicated) If you thought they were young….they were even younger.
Their ages when they joined Big Bit as trainees: RM 16, Jin 18, Suga 17, J-Hope 16, Jimin 16, V 15, Jungkook 13. (The length of their trainee periods varied)
Their ages at debut (June 2013): RM 18, Jin 20, Suga 20, J-Hope 19, Jimin 17, V 17, Jungkook 15
OMG I never expected you to post this early!! Thank you Luke, so much appreciated for granting our wish so immediately. You'll love this episode for sure, the more you watch this, the more you will love and appreciate the members more I'm telling you. You'll learn a lot from these guys too esp RM, he has a lot of words of wisdom in such a young age. And also to other members who have alr a mature side. So prepare some tissues to future episodes, you'll get teared up! Oh btw, this series have a lot of bts song spoilers.
Also, the age they are saying here is not really their age internationally. They are actually 1 year younger. Korean age works in different way. (Example: Jungkook - 16 korean age. 15 international/global age)
Fyi, this docu series was made by Aneesa. She's with bts since the beginning and decided to do this series to share around the world about bts, why she love them. She's a professional editor but she also have a different career (as far as I rmbr) so her schedule is quite hectic (she explained it in her community post months ago) that's why it kinda took her a long time to post videos. This series is still on-going but we are willing to wait as we love her work and we really appreciate her effort in doing this. Pls watch the bonus and deleted contents too (on or off cam, depends on you)💜
Rise of Bangtan is such a great series, you are in for a hell of a ride. The sad thing about all the stress fear and hard work young trainees go through is the ones who don’t quite make it to debut, or who never get any traction and get disbanded quickly. BTS were one of the lucky groups that got to stay together, and in their case especially, become successful. But the road to debut is pretty tough for most idol groups.
Heya! This was a great reaction and I think you should also react to the deleted scenes and bonus content (bonus content starts from episode 3). They both add a lot to the story as well. I definitely think you continue reacting to the Rise of Bangtan, however i also think you should start reacting to their older songs, especially the ones that show up in the earlier episodes. So their debut songs No more dream and We are bulletproof pt 2 and N.O from their second album. These songs will be in the first 3 episodes. It may be a good idea to react to their main songs from each album that will show up in the episodes as you watch it, so you don’t get spoiled and you know what the songs are about before hand. 💜💜💜
I cry every time I watch this because it makes me realize, again, what they were up against and how far they came.
Yay! BTS Friday!
I love that this series shows were BTS came from and how hard they worked and that they never gave up. It also shows how genuine they are because you can see how their sincerity hasn’t changes since before their debut. With all their success they have pride in their work but not massive celebrity egos we are all to familiar with. I think theses factors are a part of why they have such a loyal ARMY 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 I hope you continue the series
I love how sincere and emotional you are during your rections, it always feels very genuine and I relate to it so much
Thank you for finally reacting to this series. Don’t worry how long the reactions are or how sad it can be we will be here watching with you. These 7 young men have gone through a lot to get to where they are today. While the beginning was hard I can’t be any more proud of them and to be in their Army.
Borahae 💜
Its already hard to get a contract to be a singer but being a real singer still doesn’t guarantee success either in all parts of the world not just korea. South korea is just a lot harder due to so much training involves and so much competitions out there. We only see the glamour when they become famous but behind the scenes it must be very hard for all singers / actress in any countries. I bet actor/ actresses goes through many acting auditions to land a role , even a small role not even the main character and takes them hundreds of auditions to land even 1 one role. Thats why they say 1 out of 1 million success rate of being a celebrity. The hollywood dream for america and the idol dream of korea. Hundreds of thousands - 1 millions trys it but so few becomes successful.
This series is amazing indeed ! It’s unbelievable that a fan made that. I love it because she found a lot of details and videos about BTS that I never saw before. Thanks to her !
Also love your reactions 💜💜
I really enjoy when a reactor reacts to this series. I have yet to finish the series myself, but from what I’ve seen so far it is an absolute masterpiece that showcases BTS’s raise to fame. I HIGHLY suggest you do these every Friday. It’s a great series for learning more about BTS and their journey. But fare warning bring some tissues bc it’s gonna get emotional. I remember one time watching one of the chapters at work during my lunch break and I had to hold back tears bc the chapter was so emotional. So prepare for that lol Any who much love to you and ARMY! I purple you all! 💜🫰🏾💕
So excited for you to start this series. Aneesa has done/is doing such an amazing job. Please note that there are deleted scenes and bonus content episodes as well that are wonderful too. Have a fantastic weekend, Luke! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I'm glad you did this docu,I hope you can do all the series..it's worth the tears and happiness and pride💜
I've been wanting to see The Rise of Bangtan but, I just can't. 8 years being part of the BTS' ARMY but I still got a lot more things I didn't know about them. Glad I watched it with you! Chapter 2 for the next please!
Dude, if you're already emotional, you need a whole ass Tissue Box Sponsor for the next Episodes.
WOOOO!!!! i'm so excited i'm commenting before even starting the video hahaha 💜
Yeah let's watch the whole rise of Bangtan together 💜
Yes keep going with these!! You have to watch them with the deleted scenes and extra content videos though- they’re a lighthearted palate cleanser after the emotional oomph of the documentary full episodes.
YAY! The weekend starts NOW! A little after 1:30 pm....works for me!!!
💜💜💜💜 Aneesa has also said that she watches a lot of reactions to her videos, so maybe your message and appreciation of her will reach her. I adore this series, whether youre a new or long time army, there is something in these that someone hasnt seen yet. It's amazing the lengths she went through to not only find/arrange/edit all this footage, but do it in a way that Bangtan is telling their OWN story through it.
These are your words: " BTS puts out this positive love into the world. The love they have for each other. This love they have for their fans. This love they have for this planet and the people on it. BTS literally represent all the positivity in the world . They radiate this happy positive energy and for that I am so grateful they're in my life. With them in it there is hope for the future." 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💕💜💜💜💕💜💜💜
YES!!! FINALLY!! 💜💜💜 I'M HERE FOR THIS!
Enjoy the journey! This series is so good💜
Ohhh! You’re gonna Love this docu-serie!!!! You’ll go from anger, to excítement, and from joy to tears. Enjoy this journey of knowing their growth, and how they became mature! Aneessa ( i think its the name of the army who made this) did a Great Job! She is making because, she’s updating the serie. 💜💜💜
J-Hope showing his birthday cake makes me think of this: "Berry, Berry, Strawberry" - if you know, you know ;)
(And if not here's the 10 seconds video with the cutest quote of Jhope th-cam.com/video/UDPKpGO64bE/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=felixpout )
So happy you are watching this series. It's a really great addictive show, really well made. Thank you for sharing 💜
Their story is a really emotional one so be ready. I hope you continue watching the series because it's a good one that really tell their stories unlike other compilations that just gloss over everything that happened. It's also the closest in chronological order so that helps a lot in understanding where they came from and how they got to where they are currently.
Spoken like a true ARMY, just wanna reach out and tell them everything is going be ok, they’re gonna make it! This series is really fun, we can make it a weekly activity. Aneesa, the editor, gets better and better as the show progress.
I am so excited to see you starting this amazing docuseries, Luke!! You think you cried and cheered watching their videos and funny moments? Stock up on tissues, my friend! The brilliant creator, Aneeza, knows what she is doing (she's an editor by trade). Now I just have to get through the next few hours of work so I can go home and watch this!
So glad, that you watch this series. Its amazing and believe me, its getting better and better with every episode. Love your reactions
Borahae 💜💜💜
oh hey, you finally started with The Rise of Bangtan series....it's a long journey but so worth it! Enjoy!
It's how they became so close, living 24/7 with each other and depending on each other..it made them what they are today..
On top of world BTS 💜💜💜
BTS offers a full emotional package, don't they? The appreciation for their current success is that much deeper when you get an understanding of their early years. Really appreciate your honesty in your reactions - no matter what emotions are evoked!!
Watching these videos are hard and yet inspiring as well. It gives me the strength I need to keep going because of all they have done. Thank you BTS! 💜💜💜
Another great reaction as always. ☺️
This is my first time watching rise of bangtan excited for the next episode because V is gonna be introduced in that🥰
These 7 young men are absolutely great humans. They express themselves through their music and it resonates with many people of all ages across all borders. This is their world since 2013 and we are lucky enough to be part of it. Since the passing of my wife their music has created a bond between my 15 year old daughter and myself because we have a common like in BTS. Nothing is harder that forming a solid bond with a teen but our bond is “BULLET PROOF” because of BTS and I thank them for that! 💜
I'm soooo happy you are doing so much BTS I love your reactions aaw
I like the long form reactions on Fridays - whether they are fan docs, concert footage, awards shows, etc it is all good. I would love to see you react to other awards show performances - the ones for the MAMA awards in particular (on Mnet) are incredible. BTS as usual gets a lot of screen time and performances from other acts are available and are also amazing. I actually think the MAMA awards show performances are some of the best I have seen. Also, if you ever want to watch (and/or react to) the actual process these idols go through, many of the companies started making tv shows about the process, showing the entire audition process of the trainees until debut. Groups like Monsta X, Enhypen, Tan, Treasure, Stray Kids etc have shows about their selection process pre debut- there are many more. The Monsta X one is pretty legendary as it was one of the earlier versions.
Would love to see you continue the Rise of Bangtan weekly and maybe something of BTS’s on another day!
The magic of BTS is they always make you feel something…💜💜💜
When you learn about how challenging their journey has been--collectively and individually--it just makes you love them harder. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Jin was an exception. He was invited to audition purely on looks and he started training to sing and dance when he became a trainee. Big Hit got lucky that Gin turned out to have a silver voice.
Today is my birthday and I don’t even have a cake lol. Rise of Bangtan does an amazing job in their videos. BTS is THE BEST!!!
I love this series. I support Aneesa and her team in putting this together. Itade me realized that everything about BTS quality. Fans, content, you and BTS. 💜💜💜💜💜
The first 4 chapters are sooo emo for us ARMY especially those of us who were there for this live but so glad you are watching this now n can understand why we are so fierce in our love for them.
Your reaction is far from boring. It is exactly as it should be. These little vlogs are how I discovered BTS. That raw openness and vulnerability is what drew me to them and their stories are why I am fiercely protective of them as many ARMY are. When you realise just how hard it was for them, how worried and stressed they were, you can’t help but want to protect them. This whole series is an eye opener for new ARMY and I think helps many really understand their journey.
This series is so amazing at showing not just BTS's journey but also helping viewers understand the k-pop world and putting all of BTS's experiences in context of Korean society and culture. Every trainee in k-pop sacrifices so much, it really is heartbreaking. And while BTS's journey is better in many ways thanks to Big Hit giving them more freedom, they also severely struggled financially because Big Hit was poor, which isn't the case for groups from Big 3 labels. Whenever I see them bundled up cold indoors or not having much to eat, it really hurts. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Gratitude. From day one, they offered it with sincerity. ARMY responded in kind, and continue to do so. Thank you, sir. I am grateful for you.
Being an army since 2014, I absolutely love this docu-series. It does an amazing job of telling the story of their very beginning and their journey through it all
Please, please, please do the full series, I just finished watching the series myself and it is so worth it. It has given me a new appreciation for BTS and has made me want to be a fan of theirs even more than I already am 💜
Please continue watching this! I almost can't wait!
Please continue this series every friday til the end! (There's 20 episodes) We would appreciate it. You will really learn a lot about bangtan. you nice keep going togather
Aneesa, the creator of this documentary did an amazing job, she's one of our precious treassure in ARMY
Fun fact is that before they debuted there were actually 9 boys living in that small apartment. You get trainees who drops out during their training period. So trainees who just comes and goes were put in the same room. BTS mentioned in an interview that it was initially stressful with no personal space and a few had to sleep on the floor.
They were humble from the very beginning thinking about their fans before they even had many....that's where their hearts still are...planted deep. This documentary series will give you great insight to them from the very start....all the good and bad....that has made them BTS! If anyone watches this you can't not feel differently toward them and their success they still struggle to get from the mainstream....they don't need anyone's approval) but their own....they are comfortable and feel worthy and they should....not many other groups can say the same thing.
BTS 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜OT7 Forever
For BTS, Jin was scouted for his looks alone. He trained to sing and dance to survive. You can be scouted by your skills or just looks and you need ti train to prove your worth just likr what Jin did. Big Hit has more than 7 trainees. Including Supreme Boi (featured in Cypher series) but he was debuted as a solo artist/rapper. Imagine Jin being there for his 'looks' the amount of pressure that he was feeling. He vocally expressed that he wasn't happy doing those at first. I guess he only did what he did to make his parents proud, just like what he said on one of their concerts. His first logs were a bit sad, but you can see the growth in him, he became much happier and happier especially with the members. He was the youngest in his family. And all of a sudden, besides the pressure to do good in training, he also needs to man up brcause hr was the oldest. So he cannot really rely on anyone that time, his donsaengs really looked up to him as the older hyung of the group. His whole aura and personality really changed over the years. He was so shy, he became confident and espressive and good to see he now embraced the WWH tag. One of the most genuine artist today, well all of them! ✨
I totally felt the same way when I first watched this documentary. It’s so well done and it really does show you the ups and downs that BTS went through. Makes you appreciate them so much more, and they really do deserve the world! Thanks for the honest reaction 😊
The other chapters will make you cry alot too it's so good you will know each member story , struggle everything it's the best
I cried with you btw
you can see how much you love these guys💜💜💜💜
This series really does show you everything about the journey of BTS, it's the full story. Yes it's sad, but don't be, even the guys admit that those hard times made them who they are. I'd love to see you watch the rest of this series, it's exceptionally good.
They were all so consistently exhausted back then…you just wanna hug them and feed them 😭💜 there are SO many Logs to watch and they’re mostly really short so I hope you get the time to go back and watch them cause they’re so precious
I haven't had the time to watch any of this series on my own yet, or even to watch it with you due to school and mental health reasons, but now that I DO have the time, the series is gone 😭 I'm glad you watched the 21 episodes that existed so we can just enjoy it together now that there's nowhere else to view and appreciate it. I know there was supposed to be two more episodes, but that's okay. 21 episodes covers a lot 🥲
Seo Taiji definitely started the movement. It was huge when he invited BTS to join him for his 25th anniversary concert! You could see how much respect the boys had for him too in their rehearsal videos.
I think it would be great if he reacted to KPOP HISTORY IN 20MIN | FROM SEOTAIJI TO BTS (by DKDKTV), will clarify a lot of things for him
K-pop really started long before it became this international phenomenon we see now. There have been countless groups that can now be considered the pioneers of K-pop, and you can see how, throughout the years, K-pop has evolved and changed, each debut, each comback, and each group building upon the previous. Because of this, it is really hard to say who "started K-pop". Groups like TVXQ were those who made dancing something to consider in K-pop, groups like Wonder Girls brought amazing vocals. But then people like Psy, and BTS are the ones who brought it to the international stage, and from there, groups started becoming worldwide. And now, we can see what fans call the fifth generation of K-pop, where rookie groups are making enormous debuts, and winning award shows with them. K-pop has evolved so much since it started, before the 2000s, and I believe it will keep on evolving, changing, and growing
Every time I watch this series or others reacting to it... I tear up at least. Even just the short history of kpop that was given made me tear up .. the clips about trainees, especially the girl that was stretching and being forced to stretch further than she was capable of and screaming out... That cuts at my heart strings.
Seo Taeji and Boys are the pioneers. Seo Taeji himself passed down the crown to BTS even though they arent from the same company 🥺
Yes. Continue on. Finish The Rise....the whole way through. A sad note. None of them ever got to celebrate their birthday with their families. Not even holidays. They work over 330 days a year. No days off. No weekends off. This past Christmas was their first Christmas off even though they begged and begged to get Christmas off the previous year! Like RM said..it was so hard to see their friends dating. They have never been allowed to date. It's sad. They gave up family and friends and dating to be in BTS. They each make over $20 million a year now. They love and adore their fans. Their music is #1 everywhere. But they had to give up so much. When it said JK started at 16. He was really 13. When you are born you are one year old. On New Years's day they add another year no matter your date of birth. JK was a baby just graduating out of Middle School. By the way, the new Korean president is trying to do away with that age system. It's so outdated! Yes, continue Rise. Don't hold it in. It's OK to cry. We all still cry!!
