    Japan is actually the 2nd biggest music market in the world after the US. A lot of kpop groups debut in Japan since the beginning of Hallyu wave. Japan also has its own Billboard chart along with other music charts like Oricon, where at this point BTS also top the charts at Japanese market.

      @judithotto7131 3 ปีที่แล้ว +108

      Also another reason for the Japanese versions is that the relationship between the two countries is not very good politically, so Korean music is difficult to enter (due to censorship problems). Therefore, if they want to enter the Japanese market, they have to launch versions in Japanese.

    Another clarification (sorry if this is annoying for the rest of us for whom this is common knowledge lol) yes Suga is older than Namjoon (RM) . But namjoon is the leader so it's common that he's always mentioned first.
    By age, they go Jin, Suga, Jhope, RM, Jimin, V, JK. Formally RM will be listed first bc of his leader position, but yes, Jin is the oldest!

    BTS = Bang Tan Sonyeondan. when i watch this i feel it's like fate, i don't even believe in Fate but it's like they were meant to meet and be 7 of them. it couldn't have been anyone else. When a member is missing, it feels empty, it feels something is missing (not when they do solo/duo projects but when they are all 6 and 1 is missing). it's crazy how far they went

    Most Non Army producers of videos about BTS fail to mention that the company Bighit was small, it WAS NOT big as you remarked, without clout, financially weak and basically outsiders in the Kpop industry which made BTS the underdogs.
    Their struggle in these conditions is what makes their story interesting.
    They took years, at least 2, to get recognised and reach some success.

      @@LoveTheBasics what made their success even more of a shock was this, as mentioned, that they come from such a small company. The biggest awards like song of the year, or album/artist of the year had hardly ever, or never been won by a musician/group that didn't come from the biggest companies in the kpop industry (what is commonly refered to as Big 3: YG entertainment, JYP entertainment, and SM entertainment). Bts came to break that cycle of so called "privileged" artists who debuted under already humongous companies, which promoted them to death and linked them to already other established artists, taking home the biggest awards in shows year after year. This is what makes them the most admirable, they changed the game, they showed small companies and idols that they can also be part of the race and that privilege doesn't always mean the most accolades or following. This is what makes them an interesting case and what caught the attention of both fans and media everywhere!!

    Ok, now that he is a self proclaimed ARMY, someone needs to suggest to him one of those documentaries that will make him cry about all of the struggles that BTS had to go through to get to where they are now. This video was good, but he was right when he said it really only showed the good stuff. They fought and clawed their way to the top and deserve every bit of success they got. This kinda made it seem like it was all luck or that the dominoes just kinda fell into place for them. The fight they fought I believe is also a huge part of their success because ARMY fought with them too. They proved that you truly never walk alone.

      @@tkim2320 are you sure? Traditional Korean family names typically consist of only one syllable. There is no middle name in the English language sense. Many Koreans have their given names made of a generational name syllable and an individually distinct syllable, though this practice is declining in the younger generations. The generational name syllable is shared by siblings in North Korea, and by all members of the same generation of an extended family in South Korea. Married men and women keep their full personal names, and children inherit the father's family name unless otherwise settled when registering the marriage.
      The family names are subdivided into bon-gwan (clans), i.e. extended families which originate in the lineage system used in previous historical periods. Each clan is identified by a specific place, and traces its origin to a common patrilineal ancestor.

So your explanation of my wrongful use of the word clarify is not only incorrect but unnecessary; considering this is your first and only comment in Alex's channel and you used it to correct someone on the silliest thing, I wouldn't call it hate per se, but at the very least is a bit negative Nancy to me. Nothing about whether you liked his reaction or not, nothing about his channel in general, his knowledge on film making? Maybe I'd understand if my comment was condescending - much like yours - or hateful, only I was explaining to him something he didn't seem to know. But hey, sure, me saying I was clarifying something for him is ABSURD.

      Actually they signed J-Hope as a singer and V as a rapper. But V really wanted to sing...so J-Hope was nice and traded places with V. Actually all rappers can sing, but aren't featured to do that. More trivia. 6 were announced as BTS. Big Hit literally hid V. Mr. Bang was afraid another company would try to lure V away from Big Hit. In their early interviews V is not seen on screen, but was sitting there off screen during every interview. This is specifically shown at 13:34 on this video. Even though Jimin was the last picked. V was the last one announced...just right before they debuted. Again, he was there the whole time training. They just kept him out of the photos. So the photos you see in the beginning with V in the picture are after he was announced and came out of "hiding".

    20:05 yes the Japanese market is HUGE and very hard to break into if you're foreign from what I've learned. That's why you'll see almost every kpop group doing Japanese versions of songs to see if they can gain some recognition there. To the point where trainees/idols are taught Japanese so they'll be fluent which will make them even more marketable.
    If you check, some of BTS' biggest concerts are held in Japan. When you do well as an artist in the Japanese music market you know you've made it!

    1)JYP is known for losing gems he lost jhope and several big artist he rejected some of the best idols like IU too and regret later on that's why jhope auditioned for bighit.
    2)There's a joke in our fandom that RM was jungkook's crush and first love(just a joke)
    3)Members once revealed that JIMIN got rejected almost 10 times but he didn't give up.
    4)BangTan Sonyeondan(korean name of the group) so that's how it's short form is BTS(notice the capital letter)
    5)I think bighit/HYBE give BTS their own variety show because someone rarely invite them and when they invite them the host everytime humilated them badly I legit didn't watch those episodes because I always got teary eyes and now they are praising them if BTS is mentioned in their show for a sec they put BTS in the title for the views from ARMYs.
    6) BTS when reacted to their first stage in 2018 they were cringing now I want them to react to boy in luv warren g version I bet they all will be dying on the floor.
    7) K-pop is a commercial product. Japanese and Chinese audiences generally prefer to listen to music in their own language, and because Japan is literally the largest market for K-pop musical products (they buy more legal files and CDs than Korea), K-pop is economically incentivized to access that market ( Find it from google)
    8) The fact artist like
    Saudi Arabia repeatedly requested South Korean pop superstars BTS perform in the country, culminating in a rare concert at King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh in October, they were first non-arab artist to perform there.
    10) 38:48 That's their american got talent dynamite performance.
    11) After savage love remix Jason got a lot of shade because when he got no. 1 spot he thanked everyone except BTS which ARMYs pointed out that it only topped no.1 because BTS was aaded in the name otherwise original version was on no. 8 spot if it just only and only his hardwork later on he edited the tweet but of course ARMY blacklisted him and put him in the list of clout chaser I hope he have respected boys like steve ,halsey,becky g,lauv, max ARMYs were so touched with halsey's friendship and respect towards boys that ARMYs actually setup charity event in the name of halsey to thank her and always support each and every artist that respect BTS.
    12) 40:21 Suga is actually not there it's his hologram he didn't attended because he was going through his shoulder surgery.
    13) Fact grammy never announced about how many viewers were left after it was announced that BTS didn't win BTS then did live to cheer armys and have 10 million viewer with no english subs that time and they said that they got ready at 4o clock and still didn't appear even once not even once on the tv screen during live they were sleepy but still did live because of armys and scammys was trending(grammy name) because clearly dynamite have more records,more views about 4 times the rain on me,more sell than the winner song.
    14) I actually got obssesed with BTS ba da ba ba ba I don't know why maybe I am weird
    15) Dynamite dance moves was a tribute to Michael jackson but haters said that BTS are copying but later on Michael jackson's family tweeted and praised BTS and even said MJ would have liked it.
    16)51:38 That scene is from life goes on and jungkook is the director of the mv.The album is packaged in a book-like box that also contains a making-of book, a lyric book, photo cards(Suga’s art), RM's handwriting on the cover.RM is credited with “Album Design” Jimin was responsible for overseeing all the members’ creative activities during ‘s development and sharing those ideas with Big Hit Entertainment’s executives and staff.V is “Visual Creative”, the mind behind all visual aspects for , such as its concept photos. The music videos for have yet to be released, but V likely played a key role in conceptualizing their sets, props, and outfits. BTS also recognizes V for his uncredited role of looking after their or .Jin, Suga, J-Hope, and Jungkook are all credited with “Production and Coordination” All members are composer and song writers.

    Also yeah, this video does not focus on their hardships, which where actually a lot (starting from the company which at the beginning didn't have that much economic resources to support and promote them properly, being near bankruptcy even.

    ok, real quick. I DEFINITELY want you to react to idol. many people dislike the music video for being 'over the top' and 'too much', but that was the point. in that song they were breaking the kpop stereotypes of being 'cringy' and 'extra' while also sticking it to haters. in the song they purposefully wear and do things haters told them they looked bad doing. Like V wore glasses after a hater telling him it looked bad on him, RM used certain filters after a hater told him that filter looked ugly, and they wore bright colors after repeatedly being told they looked and dressed like girls. it is personally a favorite of mine

    Regarding the name of the group: In Korea, BTS usually goes by '방탄소년단' (pronounced 'bangtan sonyeondan'). Their MV will actually include both names, BTS/방탄소년단, in the title of the video. Their name literally translates into 'bulletproof boy scouts' in English. The name was supposed to represent the idea of a group of people standing up to all the harsh realities of the world - a running theme in their discography even to this day. Their original logo also resembled that of a shield or bulletproof vest, before it got streamlined during their breakthrough into the West in 2017. At that time BTS also gain new name - Beyond the Scene. Even ARMY, the fandom name has meaning - it stands for 'Adorable Representatives M.C. for Youth.'
    BTS comes from the constant sound of each syllable:
    - Bang --- B
    - Tan ------T
    - Sonyeondan --- S

    Why would BH signed namjoon? Why would bang pd risk everything for a 16 yo? Why would jhope go to a lesser know company? Why would jungkook choose a lesser know company? Why would jin reject one company and say yes to the other? Why would jin get scouted coming out of a bus? There’s a lot of whys in every bts member story… like the possibilities are so low for some of these situations
    Maybe that’s how it was supposed to be 😊
    The japanese matket is the second biggest market in the planet and the hardest one to crack into for foreigners. The best decision BH took was start with jpn promo since their debut. Now bts are BIG BIG in japan, they’ve always been good but after dynamite they exploded there
    Also, it’s not just about the demographics. Their music has evolved and their discography has grown with them. Since they are soooo involved with the music process is only logical for the songs to change with their age and phase in life

    I love this documentary! Btw Korean names are written differently than American ones, so the first “name” its actually their last name, for example:
    Park Ji-min
    Park: last name
    Ji-min: first name

    I am glad to see you are trying to get to know more about BTS. I just wanted to point out one thing; their start was not bad, but not as much as they expected. Producer Si-Hyuk Bang, a.k.a. Bang PD, was a famous song writer with numerous hit songs, so when he opened up his new company, Big Hit Entertainment, I think they expected more like a mega hit debut.
    One thing I like about BTS and their crew the most is that they didn't give up. I mean they couldn't get chances to get on tv, so what they did they do? They made their own TV channel on youtube, Bangtan TV. They make their own radio programs, dance practices, MV's, entertainment show programs etc. Moreover, they are continuously doing it up to this stage, because they know that their fans, who are also their subscribers of their various channels, are the people that made them who they are. I really highly appreciate their effort.

    Like many Asian cultures, they say their nest with the family names first. So Jimin's family name is Park.
    BTS comes from their full Korean name BangTan Sonyeondan which roughly translates to bulletproof boy scouts.
    The Japanese market is actually the 2nd biggest market in the world. Almost all kpop groups cater to the Japanese market as their secondary target market.

    BTS has faced huge success and huge hardships. I think they go hand in hand. Their hardships have given them a strong foundation of humility to be able to handle their meteoric success. All of it is truly admirable. Neither the hardship nor the success has been easy to carry. They take this to heart, which is why so many people feel that their success is richly deserved. They don't flaunt their success, but they do respectfully own it.

    I'm so glad you got to see more about BTS. Watching this just made my heart swell since I've been an ARMY since 2016. Their success is really out of this world and yet they manage to remain humble and true to themselves and that just makes me so proud to support them. If you can, I recommend watching a video on their hardships because everyone needs to know that their success was Not handed to them at all. They reached where they are now through their talent, sincerity, and hard work which is why they gained the support of millions of ARMY.

    Hi ! So glad you reacted tot his one, it's a good one for a quick summary of their career, about their success as you said ^^ I saw people answering a lot of your questions already, so I will just point out, that in the end when Jungkook is with his camera, it's not for GCF, but for "Life Goes On", the title track of "BE", he's the one who directed it (with the help of their usual team, and director, of course), and he recorded some of the footage himself.
    Oh and also, you talked about liking more contemporary dance, so I think you will like Jimin's solos, he has a few, who are beautiful (his solo in MMA 2019, his solo song "Lie" too) And you will probably really like a lot of BTS live performances anyway, I think with what you said (the recent ones, and the old ones with a crowd too were amazing in terms of staging)
    Oh, and lastly, if you want to see the counterpart of this video, there is a video by xCeleste about the hardships they went trough "BTS hardships 2013-2021" th-cam.com/video/EdY6wnLsetQ/w-d-xo.html
    And, yep I have the chills at the same time as you everytime I watch this video x) Thank you a lot for your recation, have a nice day ! :D

    The Korean music market before BTS made it big had a very clear hierarchy. “The big three”were the big three music labels (SM, JYP, YG) that basically controlled the kpop industry they had all of the connections and money to invest in training their trainees and to throw into their debut guaranteeing a level of success. After the big three there are mid teir labels Cube, Pledis, and Starship after them all the other labels are tiny and were lucky to get any success at all usually groups from these smaller labels would sometimes get lucky and go viral like EXID. big hit was a one of those smaller labels the fact that BTS dominates KPOP is anomaly enough let alone the internationally.

    I agree with you so much!! I really think the BU concept was really smart because it makes people come back to their old music videos. Some people come back to it to analyze the story further. It also encourages new fans to venture to their old music videos. So I think it basically makes their music videos timeless because people always come back to it. Also like you said, the vulnerability shown in BU is also a key element as to why people are invested to it and resonates with it. It makes me happy that we have the same thoughts!!

    this documentary tells a story about their succes well, that's true, but the thing is that.. well, it seems to me that it kinda devalues it because there's nothing's said about any problems that they faced, making it look like something simple and accidental. like, yeah, it's still gives you this wow-effect, but it's not honest and fair enough.. the fact that nothing was said about how terribly disrespectfully k-pop industry treated them until like 2015-2016, tv shows' hosts basically humiliated them by sayng like VERY unpleasant thing right to their faces when half of them were still minors (so bighit made their own show "Run BTS" so they didn't have to attend all these programmes anymore), award ceremonies weren't even letting them to perform on their stages at first, but allowed groups from Big 3 (SM, JYP, YG) that debuted like 2 months ago to perform with 3 songs, gave them some space in halls near bathrooms instead of dressing rooms, where other idols with proper dressing rooms could see them rehearse, and i'm not even saying about how other groups' fans and even their companies treated them (sm particularly envied bts' succes, bc despite being looked down on by the industry, they still had fans and good sales, so sm and some other companies i think tried to buy bts from bighit but failed as Band PD believed in those boys. sm once bought a group that threatened sm's EXO's success and just did nothing with them, allowing exo to gain their popularity back. later the ceo of sm said that without them bts' success wouldn't even have happened, but the truth is that without them it would've come a lot earlier). and all this hate tripled when bts got their first daesang in 2016 - then they got a black ocean and huge anounts of hate. in the documentary they talked about this daesang and included some footage, however they didn't even show how members were shocked and started crying, how suga and rm talked about writing this album backstage, that it was mentally exhausting and they spent nights just talking and crying. 2015-2017 were really tough, you even couldn't say that you were an army back then without hearing sh!it about boys and armys (some other kpop stans are saying that we're overly dramatic and all kpop groups received hate, but bts were and are much more popular, so there're way more haters not only among general public that haven't even heard any of bts' songs other than dynamite, but also among other kpop stans). bts themselves know about these times, rm even mentioned it in their 2021 festa video. they definetely have been through a lot as a group and as individuals, but like they sing in ON - "can't hold me down 'cause you know i'm a fighter, bring the pain on" (or lyrics of their cyphers, mic drop and solo mixtapes that are written for haters ;) ). of course now they'e HUGE huge and it's interesting to look through their story of success, but you can't focus just on a good side because the story would be incomplete then, like namjoon said in an interview that came out literally today - "the reason why I talked about those times was that I wanted to pay off my debts to a lot of people. To pass over this story like it never happened would be like saying “that’s not us.” And because it’s in the past. I think that, since it’s in the past, and since we’re doing all right now, and since those days were clearly necessary, I think we have to be able to talk about just how difficult a time that was."
    you can see why armys are like that, we've been trying to protect the boys this whole time as there always were a LOT of undeserved hate, and i'm not even talking about racism that they faced. they have amazing personalities, incredible talents and passion for music, and these are just ones of many other things that they've become popular for.
    well that's,, a lot i'm sorry huh, i just think this part of their story is important and i can't shut up sometimes, hope there're no mistakes at least.. and i'm not trying to say anything bad about you or the author of the documentary, of course not! the film is really good, but it's not all rosy like it seems to be when you're watching this. and i love your reactions, thank you so much!

    What i really love about BTS albums is that it's kind of like chronicle of growth. At each phase of growth, the struggles change, we see the school boy, young high school love, we see the 'emo' persona too, and then we start to get into them as Youth, the struggles visibly change, they begin dealing with heavier topics such as mental health, perception of oneself, and then as you go on they also start deaing with existential crises, more mental health, loneliness, self worth, adult love. I love how, when you listen to the albums in order, and read the lyrics, you can track that change and progress for yourself. I think that's so cool
