Thanks for all the comments, guys, My wife, and friends are introducing me to more of these kinds of acts. I will make another reaction in the next few days!! I did a reaction to 'Teddy Bear' MV last week if you want to check it out. th-cam.com/video/pt5Ow5DOyus/w-d-xo.html
They are not just a pop group. They follow different genres like hiphop, EDM, ballad, latin pop etc. You can't actually judge them by just one song. Because these guys are crazy talented. They even have record braking concerts not only in Asia even in USA and Europe . They sold wembly stadium in just 90 minutes .
@@rosanmokhtar3736 there will be people like that. especially those that arent listening to a lot of pop or have different hobbies. It can happen with the field they are in as well. Maybe he heard of the term BTS but maybe never got into knowing what that means. And yes, as surprising as that sounds to us, it can be pretty common for a lot of people haha But here he is now so its a start~
Here are other BTS's MVs that have more than a billion views: Dynamite (1.6B), Boy with Luv w/ Halsey (1.6B), Mic Drop w/ Steve Aoki (1.3B), Idol (1.3B), Fake Love (1.1B).
BTS is the biggest group in the world, not just in Asia. They are the most streamed group of all time on Spotify, the 9th most streamed artist overall. And 1 of only 4 artists to have at least 100 songs with over 100 million streams each on Spotify (Drake, Bad Bunny, and Taylor Swift are the other 3). They were the best selling artists in the world in 2020 and 2021 and were number 2 for 2022. They've won hundreds of awards and have been nominated 5 times for a Grammy. They also hold numerous world records including the most streamed video in 24 hours on youtube with their music video for Butter that had 108.2 million views. BTS were also the first Asian artist to win Artist of the Year at the 2021 American Music Awards and were named Entertainer of the Year by Time Magazine in 2020. You've only just scratched the surface with BTS, they have over 300 songs of various genres and subject matter over the past 10 years they've been a group. And while yes technically BTS is a kpop group, kpop is more of an industry rather than a genre. Suga (a member of BTS) has said this about kpop "K-pop includes not just the music, but the clothes, the makeup, the choreography…all these elements I think sort of amalgamate together in a visual and auditory content package, that I think sets it apart from other music or maybe other genres so again, as I said, rather than approach K-pop as it’s own genre I think approaching it as this integration of different content would be better.” BTS have often said they don't want to limit their music to the term kpop, they are just BTS who love to make music and perform.
I think bby gang mag's video essay "BTS vs. K-pop" defines what 2K-pop" even is very good. It's a little complicated. (I so love his video essays - but his channel Elliot Sang is also very good) And than there is why BTS is different: "BTS: More than K-pop" 💜
On behalf of ARMY, I apologize for any of us that sound condescending to you for not knowing BTS. People need to get over the fact that just because YOU have heard of them, doesn’t mean everyone has. Instead of saying “you should have known”, lets just be more welcoming, ok? Let’s not give ARMY a bad name.
@@rosanmokhtar3736 Thats not what I meant. He said he didn’t know about them or heard anything by them before. You can hear a name but not know anything about them.
I'm a 53 ARMY(name of their fandom) BTS are 3 rappers 4 vocalists. Their songs and videos are incredible meaningful. There are even EXPLANATION VIDEOS for those. They have a very diverse discografy. This is not the only one video with more than 1 billion views they have. All of them write and produce most part of their songs. They're not a studio product, they don't need autotune unless for artistic reasons. BTS absolutely much better LIVE. Waiting for more BTS journeys💜
They are not just known for being great singers, rappers and dancers but also, their Korean lyrics are so deep, meaningful and inspirational. The message they send through their music resonates with the general public because they tackle depression, anxiety, mental health, discrimination, social expectations, self love, hard work, following your dreams etc. They have 3 English songs Dynamite, Butter and Permission To Dance which they released during the height of the global pandemic to bring positive vibe and hope to all their fans across the world. They have more than 300 songs as a group excluding their solo stuff. Their 3 English songs are not really that deep compared to their Korean songs. The seven members are all songwriters, producers and composers. Although they have in-house producers, they are actively involve in writing, composing and producing their songs from their debut album in 2013 to their solo stuff until now. Their music genres include Pop, Hip Hop, Latin Pop, EDM, R&B, Ballad. Name it, they have it. They can sell out stadiums across the world in less than an hour including the legendary Sofi Stadium, Allegiant Stadium, Rose Bowl STadium in the US and Wembley Stadium in England. Getting a BTS concert ticket is like hunger games. They have over one thousand awards as of March 2023 and still counting including Billboard Music Awards and American Music Awards. They are topping Spotify, Itunes, TH-cam and other music platforms.They have 28 Guinness World Record. Their fans called ARMY are not just screaming teenage girls but people who are in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s even 60s and 70s. I'm 48 years old and I'm an ARMY. FYI, they are the biggest group in the world. They are not your typical boy band. They are not just KPop. They are global. They paved the way for other Kpop groups to be known in the western music industry.Thanks for reacting to BTS. Name a boy group who made their country panic due to economic loss upon announcing their hiatus. None- it's just BTS because they contributed about 5 billion dollars to their economy every year. Listening to only one of their song won't really make you like their music but as I've said, they have wide range of genres. What kind of music do you like?

Thanks for your comment and info. I really appreciate it. I had subtitles on when I watched it. When I edit, I download the video so you won't see the same as what I see exactly.
BTS have 6 mvs with views more than 1B. They are not only huge in Asia but on global scale as well. You can see other reaction of their mv from all over the world and in multiple language. Their fandom (called army) consists of all ages from kids, teenagers to elders in their 70s and 80s. They cover multiple genres with multiple topics as they themselves pretty much involved in their music making. BTS consists of 3 rappers and 4 vocalists who debut in 2013. Currently they are focusing on solo project as they are going for military service. The eldest member already in the military since Dec last year and second member will follow shortly. The rest will enrol when it's time. Even they are on solo schedule, all of them were well supported by their fans. Other than mvs, they also have behind the scene video, dance practice, vacation video and their own variety show videos. So yeah...they have a lot of contents.
BTS is much bigger than just K-POP. They have broken records in western music, including records previously held since The Beatles. BTS is the most famous band in the world. They write most of their own songs and are recognized for their talent in singing, rapping, dancing, producing, etc.
I'm 31 and an Army as well I've been an army since 2013 ever since bts debuted. Army And BTS are super protective of one another were basically like family and there are 90 million of us and counting as well. This song is actually one of my favorites. There from south Korea not Chinese just wanted to put that out there lol. There are 3 rappers and 4 vocalists there from different parts of South Korea. They have over 300+ songs from 2013 till 2023. They have solo stuff as well.
Thanks for your comment, I know they are from South Korea I guess you miss heard. I live in China and I was mentioning it’s strange I had not heard of them hear.
Thank you for watching BTS. Even though they are the biggest group in the world, there's a lot of prejudice towards them. Since they don't do "pay for play" they are shunned by the music industry. And we support them that much harder.
47-year-old Army from Norway here, can recommend giving the boys of BTS another listen as their 300 song portfolio is varied and inspiring. They DO have the "traditional" pop tunes like DNA or the English language Dynamite or Butter, but the real goldmine is their forays into other genres and sounds. Would recommend Black Swan for the visuals, Blue and Grey or Magic Shop for some of their typical messages, Louder than Bombs or Run, BTS for a different sound, and anything by the rapline, more or less. :D
BTS is a group from South Korea. Seven guys, consists of 3 rappers, 4 vocalists. 4 vocalists, they all sound different. They got nominated for Grammy. They also get involved in making their music, such writings, composing etc. If you plan to continue to watch them, always turn on the captions so you can understand the lyrics. Thank you for your reaction and give it a try💜💜💜. One last thing they have one of the biggest fandom, it is called ARMY.😊
I am 47 years old and I am a metalhead but love BTS music a lot. They are one of my fave grps and I a new BTS army (BTS fandom name) … you haven’t heard the song because radio and media in general are trying to stop their popularity but little do they know us army will lift BTS to the top!
3:00 As a fellow Brit and massive BTS fan, I find it a bit depressing how little coverage K-pop gets here when it is so huge, so fun and so good. The K-pop music scene reminds me of pop music in the 80s. There is that same buzz and excitement and a similar mix of music, fashion and video as key elements, to which they have added choreography. (In the 80s this level of choreo was done by only a handful of artists and most of them shared the surname Jackson).
Hi from 54 yr old Army from UK, and thanks for your reaction. Please do continue and don't be put off by some Army's who get a bit sensitive at times. There is a lot of history over the years of people showing hatred and being anti BTS and A.R.M.Y. and people out there who are not genuine. We tend to get overprotective of these amazing young men because of it. Army's too have been disrespected as well, and of course, with a 90 mil strong fandom you'll also get some crazies! 😂 However the relationship between BTS and Army is very special and unusual, however we are very welcoming and really nice to those wanting to find out more about our boys. So if you continue you're in for a great ride, especially if you love great music and once down the rabbit hole you'll wonder how on earth you got there, but be very grateful you did! I won't repeat what others have already mentioned, I'm sure you get a bit of the picture by now. But know you're in the best place in the world, BTS have been likened to MJ and the Beatles for a reason, so hope you cover more BTS content, and we'll be here to support your journey! 👍👍 Some links and info to help below: The best translations can be found at Doolsetbangtan: doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/ For an explanation of their MV's Bookish Theory is a good source. And DKDKTV explanations given by a Korean are useful as we foreigners might miss cultural references etc. Very necessary with BTS reactions! Always watch the MV's to the end. A great site for good quality Eng subs for BTS’s MV’s and especially the LIVES (content added regularly): Enjoy BTS More: th-cam.com/users/EnjoyBTSmorevideos They also have various versions of their MV's and songs, from the official MV to remixes (B-sides done for Army, also excellent) and live performances. Dance videos for their choreography can be found at Bangtantv and behind the scenes videos. Just depends how far you want to go, there is a lot. The MV's have a storyline attached but that is better saved for a time when you might want to get to know the members more.

Always have your subtitles on. BTS songs have deep meanings. BTS songs cover many different genres. These guys are multi-talented, multi-faceted, humble & caring guys. Please check into more of their over 300 songs. Their choreo is always on point. To learn more about them as individuals please react to A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7. You won't regret it. BTS fans (ARMY) are ALL ages.
BTS has 350+ discography with massive number of credits, so much that one of the members is the highest credited artist in Korea (and youngest) with currently 212 credits and the rest of the members are not far behind. They have an insanely diverse discography with easily above 10 genres. Their core is hiphop and its essence lingers in a lot of the varied genres they do. Thereby creating a unique 'bts genre'. Particularly due to the importance they give to lyrics and their writing styles can often of bases of old school hiphop which thereby infuses into the various genres they do like r&b, Pop, Funk, electro Funk, edm, soul music, rock and emo, Latin Pop, Ballad, Trap, Urban, Alternative Rap, Boom Bap. Interestingly this is vague naming cause the number of subgenres of Pop and hiphop the include is wild. But bts also doesn't stop experimenting. They began in 2013 and after 10 years they are now in a hiatus to serve in the mandatory military in Korea. They are taking turns in enlisting before which the members are doing their first official solo albums (before which the rappers have made numerous solo mixtapes over those 10 years and bts albums tend to have solo songs and unit songs along side tracks with all 7 members. Most of vocal lines previous solo experience comes from solos in bts albums and osts or collabs they did individually). Each members music is so vastly different and also expressing newer sides of them which quite often can be a transition from past lighter lyrics and sounds to darker themes and some the other way round. Speaking of lyrics, bts's main reason of popularity is their thorough introspection and capability to articulate it poetically. Their discography can roughly divided as revolting young boys in '2 cool 4 school' to adulting, youth life and struggles in 'The Most Beautiful Moment in Life' to Hermmen Hesse inspired 'Wings' to 'love yourself' series of albums, to 'map of the soul' inspired from Carl jung (a major name in the field of Psychology and Psychiatry), to self reflection and mental stance during pandemic in 'BE' album. Their music speaks of all the raw human emotions, struggles, essence, morality and social standards, taboos and sociopolitical aspects. So much that they have taken risks like calling out political happenings at a time in Korea when things were pretty vile such that you could be get blacklisted for speaking against mismanagement. So many of us have gotten out of dire mental heath issues due to their own honest sharing of their experiences and comforting lyrics combined with those that give a reality check that really helps people feel less inhibitions to get help (am one of those, Clinically depressed that started taking over my physical health and now one medicines that is improving my life vastly!)
Well now that you’ve discovered BTS, welcome!! Yes with 1b+ views, they are a huge deal. But the popularity of BTS goes beyond their music (or in addition to their music, I should say, cuz their music is also stellar). They have been called “The Beatles of our generation” by western media since like 2018 because of their massive popularity all over the world and also their huge level of influence. You might be interested in their speeches at the United Nations. The UN has invited them 3 times because they know that when BTS speaks, millions of people will listen. They have an awesome underdog story, literally started from the bottom in kpop to dominating the whole world’s music industry. They were the Top Global Artist two years in a row, they have 28 Guiness world records and they are also the most awarded group of all time. I hope that you will react to more bts to discover for yourself. We’ve seen many lives changed because of them, so enjoy the journey 🤗

All their music videos are accompanied by LIVE performances, live as in full choreography while LIVE singing, and also dance practice videos. I think this is why they get these type of numbers. You should check out their LIVE performances. The song will hit differently.
Hi! Thanks for listening to our guys, if you keep checking them out you're in for a great time :) They're got a super diverse discography and they just hit so well on every level. Writing, check. Dance, check. Vocals, check. Visuals, check... etc etc etc, lol. They are BEASTS on stage, they will dance full out like that with the mics ON. It's wild. I'm also impressed with how much they're involved in the creative process. They've all contributed in writing, composing and producing on every album from the beginning. It's kinda rare for a kpop label to give that much artistic freedom and I love how authentic it makes their music. They're telling their stories with their words. I hope you keep going, they'll surprise you!
Something that needs to be taken into account with a lot of BTS' music, is that it is a part of a story arc. DNA is the first part of a story. It talks about a destined love, one that feels perfect and wonderful. But the next part of that story is "Singularity" and "Fake love" which are about realising you have erased who you are in an attempt to be loved, and that what was in DNA was nothing but infatuation, a fake and unrealistic example of love, a "love" that is unsustainable and ultimately destroys a person. The last song is Epiphany, which is about realising you need to love yourself before you can truly love another. I love this story because I see it playing out everywhere, and it is nice having a "love" song, that when put in the context of the story, shows how empty that love really is.
They are biggest act in whole world rn not only in asia,they have sold stadiums in us , Wembley in London and many other countries, they have topped us billboard hot 100 multiple times which only counts US streams, sales and plays , They won Artist of the Year on American Music Awards... also If you don't listen to this type of genre of music you just have name your preference and you'll get a bts song,BTS don't do specific genre they are the genre...
when you said im a good boy i got instantly reminded of Tae, he is one of the members of BTS. BTS has 7 members . i hope you can react to them more if you are interested. Thank you
They are 121Million+ views in just 24hours for their Music video Butter. It's in English. They were #1 on US billboard Hot 100 for 10 weeks. So they aren't just big in Asia only. But We learn new things Don't we?
Any need for the condescending language? I clearly don't know who they are, so I'm not disrespecting them by not knowing about their popularity, and it would be obvious to state that the majority of it comes from Asia as the vast population of the world is situated in Asia, the place where they come from.
@@ScottauchterlonieMusic seriously , how can you assume that most views came from asia ?? the song was 1 on US billboard hot 100 for 10 week whose ranking is based on USA chart , stream , sales not whole world.
@@hitfamily4936, I didn't know that information about the top 100 I have genuinely never heard of them before I don't watch or follow charts. I react with no knowledge of new stuff, so they are an Asian band, so it's obvious to assume that they would be popular in that area which I'm sure they are. I didn’t say they were not popular anywhere else, did I? I had only nice things to say about these guys, and I will check out more. It is clear that they are a great talent with a massive audience. Stop seeing my words as negative I am only complimenting them. I understand you want to protect them as a fan and that is commendable but I'm not knocking them at all.
@@ScottauchterlonieMusic Sorry if you felt my comments as rude. But that's not what I meant at all. I am just saying they are quite popular as artists worldwide. Had been popular since 2017. They have sold out stadiums around the world. Got #1s in many countries including Australia which I hope is where you live according to your accent. I myself came to know about a big artist named Taylor Swift few days ago. I didn't know she was big until lately which is why I said we learn new things.
@@nggstudent3083 It's okay man, I'm not from Australia, Im English. southwest Bristol accent. see, that would seem crazy to me that you don't know Tayler swift lol But yeah I get it.
they are the biggest group in the world...maybe you are living under a rock, no offense it is not in English I get it but they are mainstream in US and known around the world. The lyrics of this particular song is about destiny that people are meant to be with each other in their dna. Their fans called Army usually resonate with the lyrics of their songs so if you use the official music channel they have correct lyrics plus don't forget to include the first part of their video which is their brand.
Noted. Thanks for the comment. I don't watch chart music unless it pops up on my youtube feed or I hear it when I'm out, so I would have missed it. Great band, tho I will defiantly check out more.
They do have 3 songs in English (2 of which have over 1B views) Dynamite, Butter, and Permission to Dance (which has only 574M views). We (the fandom called ARMY) call these songs the pandemic songs. They were released to make us feel happy, so all are total bops that make you want to dance. Thanks for reacting!
thank you for reaction and as we know that language barrier is not a big problem for music lovers. we specially love their music because their inspiring lyrics, their humbleness, kindness. they may seem like young boys with screaming teenage girls fans but that's totally wrong. if you are interested i recommend you to react songs like black swan, on, life goes on, fake love, magic shop live performance, louder than bomb etc
@@ScottauchterlonieMusic I think this person means that they are so multifaceted that one song will never encompass the totality of their musical talent, not that you're judging them. However, BTS fans can get very protective because they have faced such hate and judgement over the years.
This song means so much in my life as the story to go with it is personal to me. Let me explain, when me and my boyfriend first met we were just drawn to each other and this song was the first BTS song we both listened to as a couple and it descibes exactly how we met, and now this song is our couple song and it holds a special place in my heart as without this song i wouldnt have met my boyfriend (of 5 years) Also Jiminie is my ult bias and both Yoongi and Jin are my ult bias wreckers
Oh my. BTS started as K-Pop, but they are worldwide super stars now. Their music goes deep in many songs lyrically, but some are just fun, or are digs at haters. I'm in the U.S., and am older person, and I absolutely love these young, hard-working, talented men. If you'd like to learn about them, there are several good fan made intros, but the most popular these days is "An Introduction to BTS: The Bangtan 7". It's rather long, but worth the watch. There are other good ones by xCeleste, and a few others. I found BTS in May 2021, became official ARMY a few months later and still am. I have never fangirled over any group as much as I have BTS. Hope you continue with some BTS reactions. There are a few more MV's with over 1 billion views too. :)
Radios don't play BTS or Kpop in general in the West (few example songs excluded: Dynamite, Butter and their collaboration with Coldplay). For example in the US the radio channels refuse to play Kpop or BTS and are openly and vocally very hostile towards BTS. Streaming, buying their albums and watching their MV is the only way to get your Kpop band visibility in the West.
Can't tell if you have the Closed Captions on or not, turn them on for English Subtitles. I enjoyed your reaction and would be interested in seeing you react to more BTS. How about reacting to their TINY DESK live performance.
Hi. So amazing that you did not know BTS, but very interesting. I like that one Army( BTS’s fanbase) was being gracious to you. I think that BTS would be thankful for her welcoming spirit. BTS is a wonderful group of young men. Their singing and dancing is next level. They also have individual works that are incredibly special. Black Swan and ON are two of my favorite, but have many more. The individual members are now doing military service, but will be back in 2025. Their individual works are really worth listening to as well. They all have their very unique style, and are definitely and Iconic S. Korean and global group!
Welcome. Thanks for reaction to our guys. I'm 48 yo ARMY from FL. Fun fact: BTS won the Newcomer Award in 2014 at a CHINESE award ceremony. They were even there to performed on stage too. They used to tour several cities in China. Of course this was before China banned all Korean music and dramas from being imported. That's probably why you haven't heard about them there now openly. Although there's a huge community underground that support our guys, I mean massive insane $$$ for merch and donation for birthday billboard displays, etc. I'm sure you've got lots of recommendation/comments from fellow ARMYs already, so I won't write full book here. Just welcome to BTS World 💜. Have a great weekend !
I'm not entirely surprised that you hadn't heard of them. They believe in making music honestly and with integrity so they refuse to participate in "pay to play" culture. Because of that, at least in North America, their Korean music gets no radio play at all. Don't know how it works in China. They have grown organically and now focus on their millions of fans worldwide and not the corrupt music industry. Today, their member Jimin became the first solo South Korean artist to ever reach number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Again, with practically no radio play, just fan streams and downloads. I think you'd like the song; it's called Like Crazy. We are very proud of him and all of them. 10 years making music together. 💜
Hey, thanks for checking out BTS! I promise looking into them is worth is if you keep an open mind and just love music. Would love to see more reactions to their music. They are versatile and refreshing artists (with a lot of solo projects) who also share a lot of their lives with their fans called ARMY. I can definitely recommend the journey to get to know them :)
In 2021, BTS became the first group since The Beatles to have 6 number 1 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in a single year. That's only one of the many, many records they've broken... including smashing tons of TH-cam records such as most viewers for a video debut, etc. DNA broke the record for most views in the first 24 hours (21 million views), which was then broken by them about a year later with IDOL (45 million views in 24 hours)... which they broke later with Dynamite (101 million views)...They are a phenomenon.
I find it so interesting to watch people react to BTS for the first time. Because they are really everywhere these days, even non-kpop fans here in the boonies of North Carolina know who they are. So I find it interesting when I come across someone who hasn't heard of them. I imagine that you have heard or seen them somewhere but just haven't realized that you have. Anyway, welcome to BTS's world, we fans are called ARMY and we thank you for giving our beloved group a chance. We hope that you continue to learn, explore and understand why BTS is the biggest group with the biggest fandom in the world. But, if you don't want to become a fan, I suggest you turn back now and not do anything more. Because once you start and tumble down the rabbit hole into the BTS Universe, it is very hard not to love and respect these seven extremely talented men....you WILL be a fan! You've been warned! But whatever you decide to do, be a fan or not. Thank you for giving them a chance and checking them out!!!!!🫶🎵🫰💜
I wish they would play BTS's music in clubs or on the radio, but they just won't no matter how big the song is. If it isn't in English, they won't play it. X.x I'm surprised you found the lyrics odd for this song. This song is actually not something I prefer stylistically, but I started to love it first for the lyrics, which I found quite beautiful and poetic. The idea that your love is destined...something that intrinsically connects you to each other all the way down to your atoms, a love that spans life times. :) BTS is The largest group in the world. Not just Asian, but any group. And one of the largest musical acts, group or otherwise. They draw fans of many ages, nationalities, and walks of life. :) I'm a 40-year-old English teacher from the US. I'd like to recommend the song Fake Love by BTS as it comes from the same album trilogy as DNA and is the next song is the sort of "story" the albums create.
I hope you react to more of BTS because they have songs of every genre and i am sure you will love them more and they write and produce their own songs and they have songs with deep meaning
I mean, to speak from experience I’ve watched that MV like 227 times for 2 reasons: 1. Hoseok’s dancing at the end - the boy kills it 😭 2. That moment when Jimin puts his hand up at the camera - I just enjoy it an irrational amount idk I can’t account for the other 1.49999 billion views tho.
Try ON kinetic manifesto, most starters in BTS seem to like that. A lot of their music/them is actually very wholesome, they did a charming Christmas compilation a few years ago. You would probably like Jin's solo numbers Moon, Epiphany and his most recent solo with Cold Play The Astronaut.
love the honest reaction.. good music choice Sir.. i assure you, BTS will never disappoint you with their music, dance, lyrics, values etc.. they're very lovely & talented bunch 💜💜💜
You wont find BTS in the clubs, they're actually about something. Not thrilled that DNA is the song from them that has the most views since it's not very representative of them in general, but talking about how everyone is connected through DNA is a pretty good message to be their most viewed one I guess. The group has a rags to riches story and they earned every mega penny they now have and share with their blood sweat and tears. If you are about kids content, BTS is a good one though you'll find their fandom is majority adults (I'm 30+yrs)
Thanks for reacting to BTS ! I think they will surprise you on many, MANY levels ! They have, no lie, the widest range of music any artist have and hundreds of songs. That means, no matter what your genre is, you'll find songs you like and some you'll enjoy less. Anyways, as much as medias like to put groups in a box, BTS is no typical "boyband" and even in the Kpop industry, they're totally different. They're pioneers in some way and to these days, I haven't seen any artist that big being so normal out of stage. But most of all, they've been working very hard for a decade, literally starting from scratch in a company that was on the verge on bankruptcy only to have made this company one of the biggest economic sources in South Korea nowadays. There are 3 rappers and 4 singers. And on top of being amazing rappers, singers and dancers ; BTS members write, produce, take part in the artistic concepts, music videos, dance choreographies, ideas... Everything basically, in collaboration with their company staff and artists. They're really on a line of their own and I think you'll see that for yourself when you react to more. That being said, you're really perceptive on many levels, can't wait to see more of your reactions :) Also, I think you should definitely react to the different fan-made guides about BTS. They'll put you on many informations about the group, the members, how they work and everything basically. Because above learning about their group history, these guides make you understand their music a lot more in some way. That was my case when I first became a fan (and I'm sure I'm not the only one). I guess learning about the background of each member, their background as a group and the way they work for their craft, makes you understand the music (and the artistry) in a much more complete way. The most complete (and amazingly made) guide is : "A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7" (by Taylor Mari). Hope you'll react to it ! In any case, enjoy the journey !!
One thing about army as well they will tell you that they don't like when their being compared to other boy bands. I'm American and there popular here in the US as well and in London to. They sold out Londons wembly stadium and LA sofi stadium plus Las Vegas stadium as well.
Hey there Content Junkie~ Cool video! Thank you for reacting to them! As you just got to listen to BTS, I just wanna tell you I hope you don't get overwhelmed with the amount of information you see in your comments. For new timers, its just a thing that obviously fans in many fandoms love to do, except Kpop fans are much more enthusiastic hahah I am sure you get it - sharing passions/hobbies/interests etc - its kinda similar. Just don't let that make you feel you have to react to A LOT of music. One thing at a time will be fine~ Just react to things at your own pace, and see how you feel. If you enjoy the music or the message behind the music in your own time, you might get to fully appreciate and immerse yourself in, getting to know BTS. Ofc, if you want to otherwise, no pressure. Stay hydrated, happy and healthy!
Hi what ganre do you like? Rap song,hip hop, melo song,pop song? These songs have most views: Mic drop Blood sweat tear Idol Not today Dope Fire If you like smooth songs: Truth untold Lights Dimple Pied paper They have the biggest fandom in the world and they are from south korea.
Welcome to the Bangtan world 💜 There are a lot good and right comments so I won't repeat that all. Please go on with BTS. It's very rare to see someone who has not even know the name and goes so objective into their work. So please please do more 💜💜💜 Borahae By the way 36 German army here An "On" Army who got back to love hip hop thanks to BTS
oh, I like this reaction. you seem open minded. the lyrics in their MVs are official... i suggest Mic Drop next please, it also got 1B+ views and the same group.. they're very diverse with their genres so this genre isn't only what they cover...
Sorry for some of the responses here we tend to give information a lot. Thanks for trying to react to BTS though, we hope you would consider discovering their music .
Appreciate you reacting to BTS! BTS ARMY here. You'll find out why they get this much views if you keep reacting to their music but for sure you're now getting a little hint why. The comments here will tell :) I hope you pick another of their MVs to react to again.. and turn on CC next time. Thank you!
There is a storyline that runs through all of BTS MV’s from the first one until today. It’s difficult to just jump in. There are messages in all of their music including words of truth addressing social injustices, bullying and women empowerment to name a few. Rarely do they sing or rap about love. They do have substance and why ARMY is so globally massive. Fans have discovered art, books, theater and foreign languages we would have never known and much in our own backyards. Stanning BTS is like an entire intensive college curriculum but fun and exciting! Thanks for watching!
And... Please continue to ask for BTS reactions. They're really great. As you mentioned, I'm a good dancer. Whether it's a music video or a dance video... There are a lot of live versions, so please refer to that.
Oh wow I just checked you kid's channel 🎉 thanks fore that. It's perfect for my nephew and me (working in the kindergarten) ... Back to BTS Check out super Tuna 😅 the kids will love it
You are amazed by how many views this music video has. Now you can be surprised by how many views and comments your reaction video gets compared to your other videos.
I don't know what type of music you like but I recommend these songs from BTS in case you wanna check more of their songs. It's not all the same vibe so you can "probably" find something that will go to your playlist. 1. Black Swan 2. Mic Drop 3. Fake Love 4. Spring Day 5. Magic Shop (no MV, please react to a lyric video or a live performance with English subtitle because the lyrics to this one is very important which adds to the beauty of the song) 6. Ugh ( no MV) 7. The Truth Untold (no MV) 8. Pied Piper ( no MV) 9. Dope 10. On Although most of their songs have deeper meanings but I preferred Magic Shop to be watched while reading the lyric translation because it is such a comfort song. :) I loved your genuine reaction! Hope to see more soon.
Thanks for all the comments, guys, My wife, and friends are introducing me to more of these kinds of acts. I will make another reaction in the next few days!!
I did a reaction to 'Teddy Bear' MV last week if you want to check it out. th-cam.com/video/pt5Ow5DOyus/w-d-xo.html
@@somethinggreatishappening8536 awesome I will check it out.
@@somethinggreatishappening8536 I second this comment! It truly gives you an insight to all the members and how talented they are
@@somethinggreatishappening8536 Good luck on your journey 😂💜️
@@ScottauchterlonieMusic please go for it
They are not just a pop group. They follow different genres like hiphop, EDM, ballad, latin pop etc. You can't actually judge them by just one song. Because these guys are crazy talented. They even have record braking concerts not only in Asia even in USA and Europe . They sold wembly stadium in just 90 minutes .
Thats crazy!!! and amazing yet I have never heard of them, I will check out more ASAP!!
@@ScottauchterlonieMusic seriously????not even the names BTS!? Im not surprised you never listened to their songs but never heard the name is like?😅
@@rosanmokhtar3736 there will be people like that. especially those that arent listening to a lot of pop or have different hobbies. It can happen with the field they are in as well. Maybe he heard of the term BTS but maybe never got into knowing what that means. And yes, as surprising as that sounds to us, it can be pretty common for a lot of people haha But here he is now so its a start~
@@ScottauchterlonieMusic That's old news. Their concerts now of 90,000 for 3 days sell out in 30 mins.
@@VanCityGal They sold out Sofi stadium for multile dates in pre-sales...
Here are other BTS's MVs that have more than a billion views: Dynamite (1.6B), Boy with Luv w/ Halsey (1.6B), Mic Drop w/ Steve Aoki (1.3B), Idol (1.3B), Fake Love (1.1B).
BTS is the biggest group in the world, not just in Asia. They are the most streamed group of all time on Spotify, the 9th most streamed artist overall. And 1 of only 4 artists to have at least 100 songs with over 100 million streams each on Spotify (Drake, Bad Bunny, and Taylor Swift are the other 3). They were the best selling artists in the world in 2020 and 2021 and were number 2 for 2022. They've won hundreds of awards and have been nominated 5 times for a Grammy. They also hold numerous world records including the most streamed video in 24 hours on youtube with their music video for Butter that had 108.2 million views. BTS were also the first Asian artist to win Artist of the Year at the 2021 American Music Awards and were named Entertainer of the Year by Time Magazine in 2020. You've only just scratched the surface with BTS, they have over 300 songs of various genres and subject matter over the past 10 years they've been a group. And while yes technically BTS is a kpop group, kpop is more of an industry rather than a genre. Suga (a member of BTS) has said this about kpop "K-pop includes not just the music, but the clothes, the makeup, the choreography…all these elements I think sort of amalgamate together in a visual and auditory content package, that I think sets it apart from other music or maybe other genres so again, as I said, rather than approach K-pop as it’s own genre I think approaching it as this integration of different content would be better.” BTS have often said they don't want to limit their music to the term kpop, they are just BTS who love to make music and perform.
I think bby gang mag's video essay "BTS vs. K-pop" defines what 2K-pop" even is very good. It's a little complicated.
(I so love his video essays - but his channel Elliot Sang is also very good)
And than there is why BTS is different: "BTS: More than K-pop"
💜
On behalf of ARMY, I apologize for any of us that sound condescending to you for not knowing BTS. People need to get over the fact that just because YOU have heard of them, doesn’t mean everyone has. Instead of saying “you should have known”, lets just be more welcoming, ok? Let’s not give ARMY a bad name.
Oh he heard of them but never listened to them .. ahh yeah that’s acceptable not everyone listened to them but heard their names now i do understand
@@rosanmokhtar3736 Thats not what I meant. He said he didn’t know about them or heard anything by them before. You can hear a name but not know anything about them.
I couldn't agree more 😊
they are so big around the world, they are just the 12th artist who sold out the wembley stadium in just 90mins for two days
I'm a 53 ARMY(name of their fandom) BTS are 3 rappers 4 vocalists. Their songs and videos are incredible meaningful. There are even EXPLANATION VIDEOS for those. They have a very diverse discografy. This is not the only one video with more than 1 billion views they have. All of them write and produce most part of their songs. They're not a studio product, they don't need autotune unless for artistic reasons. BTS absolutely much better LIVE. Waiting for more BTS journeys💜
They are not just known for being great singers, rappers and dancers but also, their Korean lyrics are so deep, meaningful and inspirational. The message they send through their music resonates with the general public because they tackle depression, anxiety, mental health, discrimination, social expectations, self love, hard work, following your dreams etc. They have 3 English songs Dynamite, Butter and Permission To Dance which they released during the height of the global pandemic to bring positive vibe and hope to all their fans across the world. They have more than 300 songs as a group excluding their solo stuff. Their 3 English songs are not really that deep compared to their Korean songs. The seven members are all songwriters, producers and composers. Although they have in-house producers, they are actively involve in writing, composing and producing their songs from their debut album in 2013 to their solo stuff until now. Their music genres include Pop, Hip Hop, Latin Pop, EDM, R&B, Ballad. Name it, they have it. They can sell out stadiums across the world in less than an hour including the legendary Sofi Stadium, Allegiant Stadium, Rose Bowl STadium in the US and Wembley Stadium in England. Getting a BTS concert ticket is like hunger games. They have over one thousand awards as of March 2023 and still counting including Billboard Music Awards and American Music Awards. They are topping Spotify, Itunes, TH-cam and other music platforms.They have 28 Guinness World Record. Their fans called ARMY are not just screaming teenage girls but people who are in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s even 60s and 70s. I'm 48 years old and I'm an ARMY. FYI, they are the biggest group in the world. They are not your typical boy band. They are not just KPop. They are global. They paved the way for other Kpop groups to be known in the western music industry.Thanks for reacting to BTS. Name a boy group who made their country panic due to economic loss upon announcing their hiatus. None- it's just BTS because they contributed about 5 billion dollars to their economy every year. Listening to only one of their song won't really make you like their music but as I've said, they have wide range of genres. What kind of music do you like? Anyways, here are some recommended songs for you to discover BTS' discography. Please don't forget to TURN ON THE SUBTITLES/CC.

Thanks for your comment and info. I really appreciate it. I had subtitles on when I watched it. When I edit, I download the video so you won't see the same as what I see exactly.
Love your explanation but he claimed he never heard of BTS??? Like??😅😅😅 hes a musician rite? Im baffled here
@@rosanmokhtar3736 LOL! well, I guess because there are people who are not really in to KPop. But at least now, he has come across BTS.
BTS have 6 mvs with views more than 1B. They are not only huge in Asia but on global scale as well. You can see other reaction of their mv from all over the world and in multiple language.
Their fandom (called army) consists of all ages from kids, teenagers to elders in their 70s and 80s. They cover multiple genres with multiple topics as they themselves pretty much involved in their music making.
BTS consists of 3 rappers and 4 vocalists who debut in 2013. Currently they are focusing on solo project as they are going for military service. The eldest member already in the military since Dec last year and second member will follow shortly. The rest will enrol when it's time.
Even they are on solo schedule, all of them were well supported by their fans.
Other than mvs, they also have behind the scene video, dance practice, vacation video and their own variety show videos. So yeah...they have a lot of contents.
Film out in live is fire!!
BTS is much bigger than just K-POP. They have broken records in western music, including records previously held since The Beatles. BTS is the most famous band in the world. They write most of their own songs and are recognized for their talent in singing, rapping, dancing, producing, etc.
I'm 31 and an Army as well I've been an army since 2013 ever since bts debuted. Army And BTS are super protective of one another were basically like family and there are 90 million of us and counting as well. This song is actually one of my favorites. There from south Korea not Chinese just wanted to put that out there lol. There are 3 rappers and 4 vocalists there from different parts of South Korea. They have over 300+ songs from 2013 till 2023. They have solo stuff as well.
Thanks for your comment, I know they are from South Korea I guess you miss heard. I live in China and I was mentioning it’s strange I had not heard of them hear.
@@ScottauchterlonieMusic there is a ban on Korean music/media in China... It's up for discussion again now...
Thank you for watching BTS. Even though they are the biggest group in the world, there's a lot of prejudice towards them. Since they don't do "pay for play" they are shunned by the music industry. And we support them that much harder.
That's why no one can be this big money can buy records it's true but can't buy consistently which bts has 😂
47-year-old Army from Norway here, can recommend giving the boys of BTS another listen as their 300 song portfolio is varied and inspiring.
They DO have the "traditional" pop tunes like DNA or the English language Dynamite or Butter, but the real goldmine is their forays into other genres and sounds. Would recommend Black Swan for the visuals, Blue and Grey or Magic Shop for some of their typical messages, Louder than Bombs or Run, BTS for a different sound, and anything by the rapline, more or less. :D
The highest fans of bts comes from US brazil and almost all of Europe and not just Asia
I loved you had patience and apprrciations for my Family BTS
BTS is a group from South Korea. Seven guys, consists of 3 rappers, 4 vocalists. 4 vocalists, they all sound different. They got nominated for Grammy. They also get involved in making their music, such writings, composing etc. If you plan to continue to watch them, always turn on the captions so you can understand the lyrics. Thank you for your reaction and give it a try💜💜💜. One last thing they have one of the biggest fandom, it is called ARMY.😊
They were nominated for a Grammy 5 times total.
I am 47 years old and I am a metalhead but love BTS music a lot. They are one of my fave grps and I a new BTS army (BTS fandom name) … you haven’t heard the song because radio and media in general are trying to stop their popularity but little do they know us army will lift BTS to the top!
Welcome into the world of BTS, you'll never be able to get out of it! 😁
3:00 As a fellow Brit and massive BTS fan, I find it a bit depressing how little coverage K-pop gets here when it is so huge, so fun and so good. The K-pop music scene reminds me of pop music in the 80s. There is that same buzz and excitement and a similar mix of music, fashion and video as key elements, to which they have added choreography. (In the 80s this level of choreo was done by only a handful of artists and most of them shared the surname Jackson).
Hi from 54 yr old Army from UK, and thanks for your reaction. Please do continue and don't be put off by some Army's who get a bit sensitive at times. There is a lot of history over the years of people showing hatred and being anti BTS and A.R.M.Y. and people out there who are not genuine. We tend to get overprotective of these amazing young men because of it. Army's too have been disrespected as well, and of course, with a 90 mil strong fandom you'll also get some crazies! 😂 However the relationship between BTS and Army is very special and unusual, however we are very welcoming and really nice to those wanting to find out more about our boys. So if you continue you're in for a great ride, especially if you love great music and once down the rabbit hole you'll wonder how on earth you got there, but be very grateful you did! I won't repeat what others have already mentioned, I'm sure you get a bit of the picture by now. But know you're in the best place in the world, BTS have been likened to MJ and the Beatles for a reason, so hope you cover more BTS content, and we'll be here to support your journey! 👍👍 Some links and info to help below:

For an explanation of their MV's Bookish Theory is a good source. And DKDKTV explanations given by a Korean are useful as we foreigners might miss cultural references etc. Very necessary with BTS reactions! Always watch the MV's to the end.
A great site for good quality Eng subs for BTS’s MV’s and especially the LIVES (content added regularly): Enjoy BTS More: th-cam.com/users/EnjoyBTSmorevideos
They also have various versions of their MV's and songs, from the official MV to remixes (B-sides done for Army, also excellent) and live performances. Dance videos for their choreography can be found at Bangtantv and behind the scenes videos. Just depends how far you want to go, there is a lot. The MV's have a storyline attached but that is better saved for a time when you might want to get to know the members more.

More on them
Always have your subtitles on. BTS songs have deep meanings. BTS songs cover many different genres. These guys are multi-talented, multi-faceted, humble & caring guys. Please check into more of their over 300 songs. Their choreo is always on point. To learn more about them as individuals please react to A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7. You won't regret it. BTS fans (ARMY) are ALL ages.
I watched it with subtitles in the reaction, when I download the video to edit they go
BTS has 350+ discography with massive number of credits, so much that one of the members is the highest credited artist in Korea (and youngest) with currently 212 credits and the rest of the members are not far behind. They have an insanely diverse discography with easily above 10 genres. Their core is hiphop and its essence lingers in a lot of the varied genres they do. Thereby creating a unique 'bts genre'. Particularly due to the importance they give to lyrics and their writing styles can often of bases of old school hiphop which thereby infuses into the various genres they do like r&b, Pop, Funk, electro Funk, edm, soul music, rock and emo, Latin Pop, Ballad, Trap, Urban, Alternative Rap, Boom Bap. Interestingly this is vague naming cause the number of subgenres of Pop and hiphop the include is wild.
But bts also doesn't stop experimenting. They began in 2013 and after 10 years they are now in a hiatus to serve in the mandatory military in Korea. They are taking turns in enlisting before which the members are doing their first official solo albums (before which the rappers have made numerous solo mixtapes over those 10 years and bts albums tend to have solo songs and unit songs along side tracks with all 7 members. Most of vocal lines previous solo experience comes from solos in bts albums and osts or collabs they did individually). Each members music is so vastly different and also expressing newer sides of them which quite often can be a transition from past lighter lyrics and sounds to darker themes and some the other way round. Speaking of lyrics, bts's main reason of popularity is their thorough introspection and capability to articulate it poetically. Their discography can roughly divided as revolting young boys in '2 cool 4 school' to adulting, youth life and struggles in 'The Most Beautiful Moment in Life' to Hermmen Hesse inspired 'Wings' to 'love yourself' series of albums, to 'map of the soul' inspired from Carl jung (a major name in the field of Psychology and Psychiatry), to self reflection and mental stance during pandemic in 'BE' album. Their music speaks of all the raw human emotions, struggles, essence, morality and social standards, taboos and sociopolitical aspects. So much that they have taken risks like calling out political happenings at a time in Korea when things were pretty vile such that you could be get blacklisted for speaking against mismanagement.
So many of us have gotten out of dire mental heath issues due to their own honest sharing of their experiences and comforting lyrics combined with those that give a reality check that really helps people feel less inhibitions to get help (am one of those, Clinically depressed that started taking over my physical health and now one medicines that is improving my life vastly!)
I recommend fake love or black swan by them, nice songs
Well now that you’ve discovered BTS, welcome!! Yes with 1b+ views, they are a huge deal. But the popularity of BTS goes beyond their music (or in addition to their music, I should say, cuz their music is also stellar). They have been called “The Beatles of our generation” by western media since like 2018 because of their massive popularity all over the world and also their huge level of influence. You might be interested in their speeches at the United Nations. The UN has invited them 3 times because they know that when BTS speaks, millions of people will listen. They have an awesome underdog story, literally started from the bottom in kpop to dominating the whole world’s music industry. They were the Top Global Artist two years in a row, they have 28 Guiness world records and they are also the most awarded group of all time. I hope that you will react to more bts to discover for yourself. We’ve seen many lives changed because of them, so enjoy the journey 🤗
A good sampler of their music is found in BTS Festa 2021 room live.

All their music videos are accompanied by LIVE performances, live as in full choreography while LIVE singing, and also dance practice videos. I think this is why they get these type of numbers. You should check out their LIVE performances. The song will hit differently.
I would check out more BTS - tons of genres, over 300 songs!
Hi! Thanks for listening to our guys, if you keep checking them out you're in for a great time :)
They're got a super diverse discography and they just hit so well on every level. Writing, check. Dance, check. Vocals, check. Visuals, check... etc etc etc, lol. They are BEASTS on stage, they will dance full out like that with the mics ON. It's wild.
I'm also impressed with how much they're involved in the creative process. They've all contributed in writing, composing and producing on every album from the beginning. It's kinda rare for a kpop label to give that much artistic freedom and I love how authentic it makes their music. They're telling their stories with their words.
I hope you keep going, they'll surprise you!
Here for BTS and their members!
Something that needs to be taken into account with a lot of BTS' music, is that it is a part of a story arc. DNA is the first part of a story. It talks about a destined love, one that feels perfect and wonderful. But the next part of that story is "Singularity" and "Fake love" which are about realising you have erased who you are in an attempt to be loved, and that what was in DNA was nothing but infatuation, a fake and unrealistic example of love, a "love" that is unsustainable and ultimately destroys a person. The last song is Epiphany, which is about realising you need to love yourself before you can truly love another.
I love this story because I see it playing out everywhere, and it is nice having a "love" song, that when put in the context of the story, shows how empty that love really is.
This song was big but not as big as alot of their other songs.. please do more!!!💜
Can you react to RM "Wild Flower" (BTS' leaders solo song)? It's a really beautiful song and MV.
They are biggest act in whole world rn not only in asia,they have sold stadiums in us , Wembley in London and many other countries, they have topped us billboard hot 100 multiple times which only counts US streams, sales and plays , They won Artist of the Year on American Music Awards... also If you don't listen to this type of genre of music you just have name your preference and you'll get a bts song,BTS don't do specific genre they are the genre...
BTS is from Korea and thanks for watching BTS from BTS Army’s 💜💜💜❤️❤️
THEY'RE AMAZINGGG! WOULD LOVE MORE REACTIONS TO BTS :))
when you said im a good boy i got instantly reminded of Tae, he is one of the members of BTS. BTS has 7 members . i hope you can react to them more if you are interested. Thank you
They are 121Million+ views in just 24hours for their Music video Butter. It's in English. They were #1 on US billboard Hot 100 for 10 weeks. So they aren't just big in Asia only. But We learn new things Don't we?
Any need for the condescending language? I clearly don't know who they are, so I'm not disrespecting them by not knowing about their popularity, and it would be obvious to state that the majority of it comes from Asia as the vast population of the world is situated in Asia, the place where they come from.
@@ScottauchterlonieMusic seriously , how can you assume that most views came from asia ?? the song was 1 on US billboard hot 100 for 10 week whose ranking is based on USA chart , stream , sales not whole world.
@@hitfamily4936, I didn't know that information about the top 100 I have genuinely never heard of them before I don't watch or follow charts. I react with no knowledge of new stuff, so they are an Asian band, so it's obvious to assume that they would be popular in that area which I'm sure they are. I didn’t say they were not popular anywhere else, did I?
I had only nice things to say about these guys, and I will check out more. It is clear that they are a great talent with a massive audience. Stop seeing my words as negative I am only complimenting them. I understand you want to protect them as a fan and that is commendable but I'm not knocking them at all.
@@ScottauchterlonieMusic Sorry if you felt my comments as rude. But that's not what I meant at all. I am just saying they are quite popular as artists worldwide. Had been popular since 2017. They have sold out stadiums around the world. Got #1s in many countries including Australia which I hope is where you live according to your accent. I myself came to know about a big artist named Taylor Swift few days ago. I didn't know she was big until lately which is why I said we learn new things.
@@nggstudent3083 It's okay man, I'm not from Australia, Im English. southwest Bristol accent. see, that would seem crazy to me that you don't know Tayler swift lol But yeah I get it.
Please do dive into BTS a bit more! I love to watch the whiplash that happens when reactors delve into their discography more.
they are the biggest group in the world...maybe you are living under a rock, no offense it is not in English I get it but they are mainstream in US and known around the world. The lyrics of this particular song is about destiny that people are meant to be with each other in their dna. Their fans called Army usually resonate with the lyrics of their songs so if you use the official music channel they have correct lyrics plus don't forget to include the first part of their video which is their brand.
Noted. Thanks for the comment. I don't watch chart music unless it pops up on my youtube feed or I hear it when I'm out, so I would have missed it. Great band, tho I will defiantly check out more.
They do have 3 songs in English (2 of which have over 1B views) Dynamite, Butter, and Permission to Dance (which has only 574M views). We (the fandom called ARMY) call these songs the pandemic songs. They were released to make us feel happy, so all are total bops that make you want to dance. Thanks for reacting!
More bts please 💜
BTS is way more than K-pop.
thank you for reaction and as we know that language barrier is not a big problem for music lovers. we specially love their music because their inspiring lyrics, their humbleness, kindness. they may seem like young boys with screaming teenage girls fans but that's totally wrong. if you are interested i recommend you to react songs like black swan, on, life goes on, fake love, magic shop live performance, louder than bomb etc
You can't judge them in just one song,BTS songs has different genre and their lyrics is so meaningful it's not just a songs it's a poem
I didn’t judge them I said I liked them?? Just not the style of song that I normally listen to. Obviously, I will check out more.
@@ScottauchterlonieMusic I think this person means that they are so multifaceted that one song will never encompass the totality of their musical talent, not that you're judging them. However, BTS fans can get very protective because they have faced such hate and judgement over the years.
This song means so much in my life as the story to go with it is personal to me.
Let me explain, when me and my boyfriend first met we were just drawn to each other and this song was the first BTS song we both listened to as a couple and it descibes exactly how we met, and now this song is our couple song and it holds a special place in my heart as without this song i wouldnt have met my boyfriend (of 5 years)
Also Jiminie is my ult bias and both Yoongi and Jin are my ult bias wreckers
Oh my. BTS started as K-Pop, but they are worldwide super stars now. Their music goes deep in many songs lyrically, but some are just fun, or are digs at haters. I'm in the U.S., and am older person, and I absolutely love these young, hard-working, talented men. If you'd like to learn about them, there are several good fan made intros, but the most popular these days is "An Introduction to BTS: The Bangtan 7". It's rather long, but worth the watch. There are other good ones by xCeleste, and a few others. I found BTS in May 2021, became official ARMY a few months later and still am. I have never fangirled over any group as much as I have BTS. Hope you continue with some BTS reactions. There are a few more MV's with over 1 billion views too. :)
방탄소년단 음악은 힐링 그자체죠~💜
Radios don't play BTS or Kpop in general in the West (few example songs excluded: Dynamite, Butter and their collaboration with Coldplay). For example in the US the radio channels refuse to play Kpop or BTS and are openly and vocally very hostile towards BTS. Streaming, buying their albums and watching their MV is the only way to get your Kpop band visibility in the West.
DNA Is my ringtone my alarm my the thumbnail of dna is my wallpaper for last 3 years since i discovered bts
Can't tell if you have the Closed Captions on or not, turn them on for English Subtitles. I enjoyed your reaction and would be interested in seeing you react to more BTS. How about reacting to their TINY DESK live performance.
Have they done a tiny desk cool I love that I will check it out!!
@@ScottauchterlonieMusic RM, the leader, also did a Tiny Desk for his album Indigo.
more bts❤❤❤❤❤
I love BTS
💜💜💜💜💜
I love BTS! 💜
Hi. So amazing that you did not know BTS, but very interesting. I like that one Army( BTS’s fanbase) was being gracious to you. I think that BTS would be thankful for her welcoming spirit. BTS is a wonderful group of young men. Their singing and dancing is next level. They also have individual works that are incredibly special. Black Swan and ON are two of my favorite, but have many more. The individual members are now doing military service, but will be back in 2025. Their individual works are really worth listening to as well. They all have their very unique style, and are definitely and Iconic S. Korean and global group!
Thanks for giving BTS a chance and hope you'll check out more BTS songs, looking forward to your next BTS reactions! 😊
Welcome. Thanks for reaction to our guys. I'm 48 yo ARMY from FL.
Fun fact: BTS won the Newcomer Award in 2014 at a CHINESE award ceremony. They were even there to performed on stage too. They used to tour several cities in China. Of course this was before China banned all Korean music and dramas from being imported. That's probably why you haven't heard about them there now openly. Although there's a huge community underground that support our guys, I mean massive insane $$$ for merch and donation for birthday billboard displays, etc.
I'm sure you've got lots of recommendation/comments from fellow ARMYs already, so I won't write full book here. Just welcome to BTS World 💜. Have a great weekend !
I'm not entirely surprised that you hadn't heard of them. They believe in making music honestly and with integrity so they refuse to participate in "pay to play" culture. Because of that, at least in North America, their Korean music gets no radio play at all. Don't know how it works in China. They have grown organically and now focus on their millions of fans worldwide and not the corrupt music industry. Today, their member Jimin became the first solo South Korean artist to ever reach number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Again, with practically no radio play, just fan streams and downloads. I think you'd like the song; it's called Like Crazy. We are very proud of him and all of them. 10 years making music together. 💜
I recommend you to listen Louder Than Bombs, it's a b-side!! It's such an underrated song and the vocals, production and rap are top tier!!!
Hey, thanks for checking out BTS! I promise looking into them is worth is if you keep an open mind and just love music. Would love to see more reactions to their music.
They are versatile and refreshing artists (with a lot of solo projects) who also share a lot of their lives with their fans called ARMY. I can definitely recommend the journey to get to know them :)
In 2021, BTS became the first group since The Beatles to have 6 number 1 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in a single year. That's only one of the many, many records they've broken... including smashing tons of TH-cam records such as most viewers for a video debut, etc. DNA broke the record for most views in the first 24 hours (21 million views), which was then broken by them about a year later with IDOL (45 million views in 24 hours)... which they broke later with Dynamite (101 million views)...They are a phenomenon.
This group have different genre, if DNA is not your taste of music for sure one of their song will make you like them 😊
I find it so interesting to watch people react to BTS for the first time. Because they are really everywhere these days, even non-kpop fans here in the boonies of North Carolina know who they are. So I find it interesting when I come across someone who hasn't heard of them. I imagine that you have heard or seen them somewhere but just haven't realized that you have. Anyway, welcome to BTS's world, we fans are called ARMY and we thank you for giving our beloved group a chance. We hope that you continue to learn, explore and understand why BTS is the biggest group with the biggest fandom in the world. But, if you don't want to become a fan, I suggest you turn back now and not do anything more. Because once you start and tumble down the rabbit hole into the BTS Universe, it is very hard not to love and respect these seven extremely talented men....you WILL be a fan! You've been warned!
But whatever you decide to do, be a fan or not. Thank you for giving them a chance and checking them out!!!!!🫶🎵🫰💜
bts is the biggest kpop group ever
thank you for reacting to this
I wish they would play BTS's music in clubs or on the radio, but they just won't no matter how big the song is. If it isn't in English, they won't play it. X.x
I'm surprised you found the lyrics odd for this song. This song is actually not something I prefer stylistically, but I started to love it first for the lyrics, which I found quite beautiful and poetic. The idea that your love is destined...something that intrinsically connects you to each other all the way down to your atoms, a love that spans life times. :)
BTS is The largest group in the world. Not just Asian, but any group. And one of the largest musical acts, group or otherwise. They draw fans of many ages, nationalities, and walks of life. :) I'm a 40-year-old English teacher from the US. I'd like to recommend the song Fake Love by BTS as it comes from the same album trilogy as DNA and is the next song is the sort of "story" the albums create.
I hope you react to more of BTS because they have songs of every genre and i am sure you will love them more and they write and produce their own songs and they have songs with deep meaning
I mean, to speak from experience I’ve watched that MV like 227 times for 2 reasons:
1. Hoseok’s dancing at the end - the boy kills it 😭
2. That moment when Jimin puts his hand up at the camera - I just enjoy it an irrational amount idk
I can’t account for the other 1.49999 billion views tho.
Try ON kinetic manifesto, most starters in BTS seem to like that. A lot of their music/them is actually very wholesome, they did a charming Christmas compilation a few years ago. You would probably like Jin's solo numbers Moon, Epiphany and his most recent solo with Cold Play The Astronaut.
love the honest reaction.. good music choice Sir.. i assure you, BTS will never disappoint you with their music, dance, lyrics, values etc.. they're very lovely & talented bunch 💜💜💜
You wont find BTS in the clubs, they're actually about something. Not thrilled that DNA is the song from them that has the most views since it's not very representative of them in general, but talking about how everyone is connected through DNA is a pretty good message to be their most viewed one I guess. The group has a rags to riches story and they earned every mega penny they now have and share with their blood sweat and tears. If you are about kids content, BTS is a good one though you'll find their fandom is majority adults (I'm 30+yrs)
I’m here for bts✌🏻💜
Thanks for reacting to BTS ! I think they will surprise you on many, MANY levels !
They have, no lie, the widest range of music any artist have and hundreds of songs. That means, no matter what your genre is, you'll find songs you like and some you'll enjoy less. Anyways, as much as medias like to put groups in a box, BTS is no typical "boyband" and even in the Kpop industry, they're totally different. They're pioneers in some way and to these days, I haven't seen any artist that big being so normal out of stage. But most of all, they've been working very hard for a decade, literally starting from scratch in a company that was on the verge on bankruptcy only to have made this company one of the biggest economic sources in South Korea nowadays. There are 3 rappers and 4 singers. And on top of being amazing rappers, singers and dancers ; BTS members write, produce, take part in the artistic concepts, music videos, dance choreographies, ideas... Everything basically, in collaboration with their company staff and artists. They're really on a line of their own and I think you'll see that for yourself when you react to more. That being said, you're really perceptive on many levels, can't wait to see more of your reactions :)
Also, I think you should definitely react to the different fan-made guides about BTS. They'll put you on many informations about the group, the members, how they work and everything basically. Because above learning about their group history, these guides make you understand their music a lot more in some way. That was my case when I first became a fan (and I'm sure I'm not the only one). I guess learning about the background of each member, their background as a group and the way they work for their craft, makes you understand the music (and the artistry) in a much more complete way. The most complete (and amazingly made) guide is : "A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7" (by Taylor Mari). Hope you'll react to it ! In any case, enjoy the journey !!
One thing about army as well they will tell you that they don't like when their being compared to other boy bands. I'm American and there popular here in the US as well and in London to. They sold out Londons wembly stadium and LA sofi stadium plus Las Vegas stadium as well.
Hey there Content Junkie~ Cool video! Thank you for reacting to them! As you just got to listen to BTS, I just wanna tell you I hope you don't get overwhelmed with the amount of information you see in your comments. For new timers, its just a thing that obviously fans in many fandoms love to do, except Kpop fans are much more enthusiastic hahah
I am sure you get it - sharing passions/hobbies/interests etc - its kinda similar. Just don't let that make you feel you have to react to A LOT of music. One thing at a time will be fine~
Just react to things at your own pace, and see how you feel. If you enjoy the music or the message behind the music in your own time, you might get to fully appreciate and immerse yourself in, getting to know BTS. Ofc, if you want to otherwise, no pressure.
Stay hydrated, happy and healthy!
You shouldn't ignore BTS lyrics. Their lyrics have a lot of meaning, inspiration, and motivation for lots of people.
I didn’t ignore their lyrics, read my pinned comment.

Want more bts reaction 💜
Welcome to the Bangtan world 💜
There are a lot good and right comments so I won't repeat that all.
Please go on with BTS. It's very rare to see someone who has not even know the name and goes so objective into their work.
So please please do more 💜💜💜
Borahae
By the way 36 German army here
An "On" Army who got back to love hip hop thanks to BTS
React on mic drop with subtitles
Fave part of the song was the guitar acoustics
oh, I like this reaction. you seem open minded. the lyrics in their MVs are official... i suggest Mic Drop next please, it also got 1B+ views and the same group.. they're very diverse with their genres so this genre isn't only what they cover...
Sorry for some of the responses here we tend to give information a lot. Thanks for trying to react to BTS though, we hope you would consider discovering their music .
Appreciate you reacting to BTS! BTS ARMY here. You'll find out why they get this much views if you keep reacting to their music but for sure you're now getting a little hint why. The comments here will tell :) I hope you pick another of their MVs to react to again.. and turn on CC next time. Thank you!
I would love to see you react to more of bts's content, bts's music has many genres
There is a storyline that runs through all of BTS MV’s from the first one until today. It’s difficult to just jump in. There are messages in all of their music including words of truth addressing social injustices, bullying and women empowerment to name a few. Rarely do they sing or rap about love. They do have substance and why ARMY is so globally massive. Fans have discovered art, books, theater and foreign languages we would have never known and much in our own backyards. Stanning BTS is like an entire intensive college curriculum but fun and exciting! Thanks for watching!
And... Please continue to ask for BTS reactions. They're really great. As you mentioned, I'm a good dancer. Whether it's a music video or a dance video... There are a lot of live versions, so please refer to that.
Amo a BTS👏👏👏💜🇦🇷Argentina
Oh wow I just checked you kid's channel 🎉 thanks fore that. It's perfect for my nephew and me (working in the kindergarten) ...
Back to BTS
Check out super Tuna 😅 the kids will love it
Omg yes!🤣💜
Can you react to Jungkook Falling(cover) and Still With you?
You should check Blackpink as well
Greetings fromm Germany
You should react to "the truth untold" its a ballad song
This is not a group song its for the vocal line which are 4 members 💜💜💜
You are amazed by how many views this music video has. Now you can be surprised by how many views and comments your reaction video gets compared to your other videos.
I don't know what type of music you like but I recommend these songs from BTS in case you wanna check more of their songs. It's not all the same vibe so you can "probably" find something that will go to your playlist.
1. Black Swan
2. Mic Drop
3. Fake Love
4. Spring Day
5. Magic Shop (no MV, please react to a lyric video or a live performance with English subtitle because the lyrics to this one is very important which adds to the beauty of the song)
6. Ugh ( no MV)
7. The Truth Untold (no MV)
8. Pied Piper ( no MV)
9. Dope
10. On
Although most of their songs have deeper meanings but I preferred Magic Shop to be watched while reading the lyric translation because it is such a comfort song. :)
I loved your genuine reaction! Hope to see more soon.
V from BTS is also a "good boy";)
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
