This rings true to almost all ARMY I've come across. If you ask an ARMY how they found BTS and how they became ARMY, you'd end up bawling your eyes out. I remember there was a reactor who asked this, and the comment section of their video was full of ARMY stories and I cried so much that day, but at the same time found profound pride to stanning BTS. They truly deserve all good things in life. 💜
If someone told you a few months ago that you would cry while watching a BTS guide, you would probably have thought it was absolutely nonsensical😅😅 The emotions you're experiencing while watching them are exactly the same as those felt by ARMYs around the world when they discovered and connected with BTS. That is why we call them "not a typical boyband, but once-in-a-lifetime band" : ) They are not just a celebrities, they are qulified persons. Welcome to the world of BTS!!
They had me smiling again after a hard divorce. I was so depressed for a couple of years. Now I have cancer and I try and take their music into hospital with me whenever I can. They are such a comfort.
62 Y/O next week, grandma from USA and I found them about 9 months ago. After work, I get nothing else done because I spend all my time on TH-cam learning about and getting to know these amazing young men and the messages they share with youth. I hadn't purchased an actual CD in over 10 years but then FACE came out. There was no way I was just going to do a download when I knew there was a hidden track on it. Now I own 3 more albums. By the way, THANK YOU, Jimin and BTS, for giving us this new video live of LETTER today!! That you would think of us (Army) in such a tender and profound way shows that our love for you is never taken for granted. HAPPY FESTA BTS & ARMY!! Also, Emerald, I found you because of your reaction to Angel Part 2 and was reminded of my first MV of BTS. I'm looking forward to watching a newborn Army become as blown away as I was (and still am) at the beginning of her journey.
53 year old Army here. I am loving watching your reactions. It is so nice to know I am not alone being cheered up and made super happy by watching these guys. Many people in my family do not understand, but they try to be tolerant. I am an elementary teacher and use BTS for dance breaks and my room is basically based on BTS. How terrific it is to tell second graders to love themselves! Keep enjoying the boys. They won’t let you down. Love my k-dramas, too!!
Girl. They saved me!!! They made my life so full of happiness after almost dying a few years ago from complications with my autoimmune disease and Covid!!! They told my husband to prepare himself. The doctors didn’t know what was going on or how to really help me. It was bad. My niece introduced me to them , after I was released from the hospital and I had to learn how to walk all over again, well Jimin through videos and I had PTSD so bad and through Jimin and BTS im so much better. Jimins smile literally makes my day. When he says “ARMYYYYY I LOVE YOU”. I brings tears to my eyes. They have brought laughter and taught me how to love myself!!! I love them so much. I don’t think they realize how many people they have helped and saved. They are amazing!!!!
Ok. First of all no more crying! I am a sympathetic cryer and you had me going. Second..I live on TH-cam watching countless hours of BTS content. Everything from music videos to compilations..run Bts.. bon voyage..in the soon. All the ship content..reactions to everything. If I am in a mood good or bad I watch anything with Bts and I am better.and happier. I also didn’t realize how depressed and unhappy I was until I started watching BTS. My kids have noticed how much happier I am. Keep on this journey. BTS will guide you. And watch Black Swan. It is so beautiful. And The Truth Untold.
Trust me i know the feeling of being obsessed and feeling like "where has this been all my life?", I became a fan in 2019 during my finals, i would binge watch bts videos until 4am instead of studying. I passed all my tests so i regret nothing lol😄 welcome to the fam 🥰
haha I can relate to you, I remember one time when I was doing my test but random bts facts kept popping up in my head, and sometimes I just zoned out in the middle of class thinking about them 😂
It’s so cute how these feelings you have are mirrored by so many. What other group has ever done this? Nobody cares that they are not from their own country or way younger (I am 59) but I laugh and smile so much with them. I have been obsessed for 5 years. Side note, watch Singularity live, V looks right into your soul. Love your reactions!
Have you seen Brilliant Singularity Live Stage Mix? This man is so sexy, hot and don't let me get started on TaeTae's velvety and deep voice, hot visuals and dancing. This video is so amazing.
Yeah for me they created a feeling that I never felt before. They thaught me A LOT on how to be more open minded, smart,... they are amazing I will be forever grateful to them! They feel like friends even tho I don't know them.
Did you know there is a full length BTS concert from their Permission to Dance tour on Disney+? Also, In the Soop: Friendcation is Taehyung (V) and his Wooga Squad friends he made while acting in K-Drama Hwarang. Definitely watch-worthy! 💜
I became ARMY a year ago because of my 16-year-old. She constantly played their music and watched their videos. I ignored it until I found myself humming the melodies😂. Then I watched videos and read lyrics. OMG!!! They've touched my soul❤💜💯💯
I wish my mom was interested in listening to them(or any group I listen to). She knows about them because shes always with me and I listen to them al the time and I have posters and albums in my room.
I've been an ARMY since nov.2013.... I basically grew up with BTS....I was just 13 yrs old when I discover them and I Love them so much ever since.......😊😊😊💜💜💜💜 I love your reactions,, It is so nice to see people showing love to them... They are my life😭😭
I'm so happy to see fans from 2013. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for you as an ARMY during 2014 to 2018. I have heard stories about other kpop fans being awful towards BTS during those years and I'm so glad that it's all in the past now.
Wow nice to see another Army since 2013 , just like me I know them since 2013 and I was 15 . It's feels like they are a part of my life that I can't live without and now look at me 25 and a doctor that also still a huge fan of them
Taehyung was hidden before debut for a couple reasons. 1) they wanted him to be sort of aa surprise bonus for people anticipating BTS's debut 2) he hadn't auditioned anywhere else before so other companies didn't know about him. BigHit was afraid he would get poached by bigger companies with deeper pockets when they saw what a hidden gem he was.
Girl I love you. All your emotions are so valid and the way u discovering BTS and their amazing personality and outstanding talents. I have been an ARMY for exactly 3 years now and oh boy what a 3 years the best I ever had. I made some friends and discovered a safe space for me and my mental health that I never thought i would have. BTS are saving so many souls as we speak. BORAHAE
BTS finds you when you need them. I 100% believe that. I found them during the pandemic right when everything was shutting down- I was laid off my job and I was depressed. They made me smile and laugh and feel better. Tae wrote the song Blue and Grey during the pandemic (on their BE album) and I don’t know how he did it but he made me feel so seen- and described how I was feeling at the time. But they have some songs that are so comforting and they wrote for ARMY like Magic Shop and Zero O’Clock. I would fully suggest watching Magic Shop live! What made me love them was how humble they are and how much they love each other and ARMY. What other artist write multiple songs for their fans?? Welcome to the ARMY and falling down the rabbit hole! :)
I LOVED your reaction to Taylor's guide!!! I've watched so many reactors watching this guide, and your reaction touched my heart. When the boys got strung by the Grammys from the beginning till the end, then cut their performance shorter, then they didn't win. BTS did a Vlive and their viewership was greater than the Grammys!!! When you watch My Universe with BTS and Coldplay, make sure you watch the behind the scenes where Chris Martin explains how their collab comes together. Then when you watch The Astronaut by Jin, watch where he sings it with Coldplay and that behind the scenes. I hope your bias is Jimin, cause he is mine. He was the first one who caught my eye and I love his dancing and singing, and he is such a sweet guy, with a mischievous side! It might be V, or maybe Suga. Enjoy your dive into the BTS rabbit hole. Also, BTS has so many songs dedicated to and are written for ARMY. Jimin's hidden tract Letter, JKs Magic Shop, We are Bulletproof the Eternal, and more💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Aww Emerald, I can't believe you ended the video with so many tears, sending you big hugs! I went through the same as you when I found BTS. I was going through a particularly tough time in my life, and not that the loss of my baby girl has gone away or anything, but BTS kept me sane and honestly alive through the darkest time of my life. I owe them my life, I owe them my sanity, and I'm so thankful they exist at the same time as I'm living on this planet. I hope they bring even more warmth and joy to your life as they did mine.
awww girl I got emotional when you mentioned that getting into bts has made you so genuinely excited when you haven't felt like that in a long time. I promise you that feeling doesn't go away. bts truly are a lifeline for so many people. I've been an army for 7+ years and I still get excited every single day for whatever next thing they do, it's truly such a blessing in life to know them. it doesn't matter when you discover them - you have so much time to consume their content however you want so take your time and enjoy the ride
That is totally how I feel! I lived for 52 years without BTS, discovered them last year, and now they are my second life!!! Lol! I’m married with three grown kids, and they all think I’m nuts since I have to watch their videos and listen to their music all the time. I gladly admit that I am obsessed. 💜
@djpaeg1 I am a 51 yr old army also with 3 grown kids who found BTS in 2017 and have been obsessed ever since. Luckily my two oldest also like them which is really nice 😊. Me, my youngest son and daughter just went and saw D-Day in the Cinema's. BTS and Army mean so much to me and I am so happy to be a part of it! Happy 10yr Anniversary! And to quote JK: Apobangpo 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I think a lot of us have the same story. BTS came into our lives and helped us overcome/deal with our depression and personal struggles. I don't know how they do it, but they are literal sources of light in this world. There is nobody like BTS, and there will never be. We always say, stan a group that stans you back. There have been times in the past when BTS and ARMY only had each other in the face of overwhelming hatred. It created an iron-clad bond that will never be broken. For what it's worth, I cry every time I watch this video, too. Welcome to ARMY. Borahae!
I can't believe how exactly you sound like me when I discovered BTS. I kept expecting my enthusiasm to wane, as I was watching them EVERY day, 2-3 hours or more. That was 5 years ago and I'm still here. This is how I've spent my retirement. Love your reactions.
i was waiting for this! i continuously put myself down for discovering them so late, but namjoon told us that we would find them when we need them most. honestly being an army is the best thing that has happened to me yet, whether we have known them for a long time, or just recently found out about them, we still found them! they love us all just as equally, and im happy to watch your bts journey! i just started getting into them around 7 months ago but have known them for a very long time. i was never into kpop, but im so glad that i got into them. they have saved me and i genuinely wouldnt want it any other way. they sure do know how to make me emotional, i cry even when i see them smile lmao🤣
Welcome Emerald. BTS found me in 2022 and like many others, during a time of great personal change. I'm 67 years young and like yourself, wondered why I never heard of them. Their music, the lyrics that seem to mirror my own feelings and thoughts, the incredible dancing, their individual and group history of hard work and facing hardships spoke right to my heart. ARMY is gift and godsend not only for BTS members but to each other. I thank ARMY's of all ages, races, countries, etc...who are so supportive. BTS members are on this planet to bring people together, to help us all evolve as ONE. They have taught us all to love ourselves and when we do this one thing, we can and do create a better world. Welcome Emerald to this amazing journey together with millions of others around the world. YOU got here just in time. LOVE to ALL ARMY's!
I'm only 3 minutes into this video, and already I'm crying. As another person who discovered them while in depression, they are my lifeline They make me MOVE when all I want to do is burrow under my covers. They make me not care who's watching me 'dance", their songs lift me up... In energy, in spirit, in self-esteem, in self-care and general give-a-shit about life. Their music, lyrics, videos, personalities, wisdom, humor, and love/care for ARMYs is nourishment for my soul from God. I think it's wonderful that you watched their Run BTS show episodes to see them as people. One of the holiday greeting message videos really grabbed my heart: Yoongi was telling us (me) that we could be happy in this coming year, and that he wanted us to be. "YOONGI wants me to be happy" ended up becoming a mantra of sorts that carried me through so much and made me decide to take care of myself at least as much as I did my children. The simple smiles on their faces makes me smile, and inspires me to smile at others, and get through rough days. Millions of us have found hope again through BTS.I hope you find that for yourself as well💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 *Edit: The Scammys issue goes so far beyond "they didn't win", that I don't even want to get started on it. If my artist is placed in the proper category and faces impressive, equal quality competition, then I can be disappointed my artist didn't win, without anger. That's not what ARMY is taking issue with. There can even be disagreement with the subjective opinions of judges and others over the quality of the competition, and again, this isn't the issue ARMY has with the Scammy award show. The issues lies in repeatedly, year after year, after year, exploiting BTS for clout and viewership, and to egregiously abuse ARMY attention, while consistently being racist, expecting the "phenomenon", the "sensation", the flash -in-the-pan fad they dismiss BTS as, to disappear back to Korea and stop competing with Western artists. There are SEVERAL very good videos by Boracity Magazine channel that analyze and articulate the battle between BTS and Western music industry, that i highly suggest you watch (react if you want, but at least watch for yourself). Make sure you take any blood pressure meds first(i wish i was joking). I want to clarify that I'm not jumping on a bandwagon steered by a content creator, but instead have had my own opinions articulated, and validated by data from multiple sources, and Boracity does a good job laying all that info out into a concise, cohesive presentation. I will NEVER watch those awards again, and have zero respect for them. They need us more than we need them to validate BTS as a talented, world-shifting, motivating, innovative music group. They had their opportunity to see/hear BTS' artistry, and didn't recognize it because they weren't paid to, and any future Scammy award given to BTS will only be to pander to ARMY since I no longer believe in the authenticity of the award or the integrity of the judges. I will give my support directly to my artist. Sorry I went long, but I've barely begun. I'm a mature woman, and not overly caught up in awards or whether my artist wins, so please believe when i say it goes so far beyond that and ARMY are unfairly dismissed as over-reacting poor losers. LOVED watching your reaction💜 Welcome, ARMY!! There is so much for you to discover and learn! Looking forward to watching your journey!
Absolutely loved your reaction. Let the tears roll. It shows your compassion and love for the members and what they had to go thru to achieve world wide success. You should watch their Grammy performance of "Butter". They should have won the grammy just for that performance alone. It got a standing ovation from the audience .
Ayyyeee, I’ve been an Army since 2015, from 17 y/o to 25 and I really feel like I’ve grown up with them. They’re one of the biggest if not the main reason why I’m still here today. I give a lot of credit to them because they were able to save me when I wasn’t even able to save myself. I’m here for the BTS journey, even if you’re not thinking of going down the rabbit hole on camera, you’ve earned a subscriber 👏🏼👏🏼😁
I think, that Jungkook is your bias 😊. But everybody loves Jimin too, and each member is always in our hearts. Every Army understands you completely. I've laughed lot while watching you reaction. My sister and my daughters are Army too and we enjoy life completely together with BTS. I send you a big hug ❤ from Germany.
Also in terms of the Grammys, BTS got the last laugh bc their livestream that they did after with the fans got 11 million views initially, while the grammys only got 8 million to tune in total. When most of the views were army and it dropped to 3 million after their performance. Who rlly needs who?? Fr
That moment you realise just how special these 7 men are. I count myself as so lucky to have been ARMY since the very beginning. I found them when I stumbled on their TH-cam vlogs before debut. I was already into Kpop and was just looking for “something”. And there they were. Over the years they have helped me through some incredibly hard times, gave me hope when I felt I had none, showed me how to love myself even with all my faults. I would go to the ends of the earth to protect these boys. In ARMY I have found a second family, people who accept me, understand me and support me though we have never met. They say we find BTS when we need them and it sounds like this is your time. Always know that in showing love and respect to the boys, you will be taken into the family of ARMY who will be there for you without judgement. I hope you continue discovering these amazing talents. ARMY will be here with you to answer your questions, to laugh with you and to cry with you. Welcome baby ARMY. BORAHAE. 💜💜💜💜
I've been with them since 2013 and it's been one heck of a journey and is gunna continue becoming a journey. I've made so many friends from Army and definitely is a life changer for sure. They are like a family to me I love Army 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
@@JeonJungkook-wr4yr I’m all good!! I am living for this new babyArmy and her reactions! She deserves to be happy with us!! 🙌🏻 she has soooo many of our emotions and needs to feel she’s NoT Alone!!🫶🏼💜
@1:03:50 YES EXACTLY. Like the video said, bts do nothing but pour inspiration and good energy into the world so if you hate them, it's definitely you.
I'm ARMY of less than two years. I can't imagine the emotional rollercoaster a fan from 2013 must have gone through. This video is a good summary, but they barely touched on the struggles the band has gone through. No mention of Suga's injury, J-Hope nearly quitting, or the infamous dumpling incident (though they mentioned the song Friends [58:46], which came about from it). I've seen other reactors react to this video, but I held off watching it. When I found your channel and saw your honest, sincere, sometimes hilarious reactions, I knew who I wanted to watch it with. I made notes with time codes and everything, though I'm already long winded, so I probably won't mention all of them. (Surprisingly, with how lengthy it is, I left out over half my notes! 😳) The song in the background (7:48) is Euphoria, which is also played during Jungkook's section. It's a favorite (have to try to hit the high note - fail every time! Lol!) in addition to Ego (32:39 - it's playing in the background, but not labeled), Moon (36:43) and Filter (58:18 - watch the Live version, like what they showed in the clip. 🔥). (9:20) I'm no expert, but your pronunciation of BTS seemed spot on to me. (12:20) Lol! You described Latin Pop perfectly, in this case, as you'll see when you watch the video. Airplane (pt1) was a solo from J-Hope. He does part of that song in Airplane Pt2, when he does his part, dancing on the bar. (21:18) Very wise words. 💜 It doesn't usually take much to just be respectful to others. (28:08) I'm sorry to hear you've struggled, but am definitely happy to hear there's been a breakthrough. 💜💜💜 BTS's messages of hope, love, and positivity have been literal lifesavers for some. My life has not been the same since I found them. (40:26) Jin literally asked us to not make Super Tuna a viral sensation.... 😂 we did not listen! (1:07:15) I think their love for ARMY and the lengths they go to show it is one of the main reasons people tend to stick with them when we find them. (1:15:08) Jin joined the military back in December. J-Hope joined mid-April. I believe RM will be next. Because of his shoulder injury, I believe Suga was either exempted or will serve in an alternate way. If other ARMYs have managed to slog through my soliloquy, they might have a better idea of what Suga will do. A pure guess as to who your Bias is would be RM. My only reason for choosing him was that you said you tried to underplay your reaction and it seemed that way with RM.
when you said your bias changed due to RUN BTS I guessed Jin at first but after watching the video I guess it's either Suga or Jungkook which means you really need to get on Weverse because you don't want to miss JK's random 2+ hrs karaoke or cooking live streams ;) Ps: I'm so glad that bts managed to bring some joy and laughter into your life again!
Girllll you make me excited to be an army all over again. 💜 if you want to record yourself watching run bts, bon voyage or in the soop we would love to watch it with you. I love watching people watch those shows. Aka I think your bias suga
We are here for you girl. ARMY has your back. I am a 50 year old mom, so anything you need I am here. Fought with depression for so long, being there. BTS has brighten my life so much. I am so thankful to this loveley boys.
I found BTS at the right time. I was depressed after going through a second miscarriage but they really make my days so much brighter. 3 years and 2 concerts later I’m in a way better place :)
Sympathetic crier, here. I feel this so hard as someone that has been struggling through depression for many years now. Other than my family, it seems like BTS (and now a couple other groups I have discovered) are the only thing that consistently make me laugh and smile. Can't imagine how I would have gotten through the last 5 years without them. They're just so accessible, it doesn't take the EFFORT that everything else in life seems to. Purple hearts to you, friend, keep fighting through!
I’m so glad BTS has found you & has helped brighten your life a little bit. As for the Grammys, I’m actually not very familiar with any of the winning songs but what gets me is how can a one time collaboration- not an actual duo - beat a group who’ve been making music together for 7-10 years. I wish they would make a separate category so that it is more fair. You nice, keep going. Borahae 💜
I thought your bias was Jimin. But based off this video I think it’s Yoongi (Suga). Suga Zaddy gave it away. lol 😁 Loved your reaction! Can’t wait for more reactions. 💜
Oh my goodness girl!!! I am so happy to follow you on the wonderful journey. And I'm so glad BTS found you . Can't wait to see more. I haven't watched your other reactions yet other than Jimin's but I think your bias is V 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜So happy for you. I'll recommend Black Swan, Mic Drop, Tiny Desk Concert, there's so many LoL have fun...ps a new song from all of them on the 9th they created it before Jin enlisted and it's dedicated to ARMY of course .
Your journey mirrors my best friend's to a crazy degree! I was ARMY for a year and a half before she went to a theater with me to watch their concert from Seoul. Jimin in the rain being all hot flipped a switch, and down the rabbit hole she went. They pulled her out of a depression, they have her excited about life again. And now getting to watch your journey, she's getting to experience that again. As am I. Thank you so much for sharing your journey! ❤ Borahae!!
Your commentary is SOOO good and funny and I love it. You crack me up!! I would just like to hear BTS better, plz. Your volume is better and much appreciated.
Your bias is either Suga or Jungkook 🤷🏾♀️ I guess Suga because of your nickname for him 😂 can’t call a man Zaddy and not be a fan and Jungkook only because it’s JK 😂 ( you’ll get that joke the deeper down the rabbit hole you go and start watching compilations of their live streams) 💜 I love your reactions so far! Your reaction to your sister’s boycott of the Grammys was my entire family’s reaction til I broke it down for them Dynamite 2021 loss and Butter 2022 loss had the #1 spot on Billboard for weeks record breaking weeks with ridiculous video and audio stream numbers and high sales but loss to 2 songs that no offense to any artist involved didn’t hold a torch to either of the BTS tracks. The Scammys brought them on to perform for the ratings but wouldn’t give them the award they clearly deserved when they had just won Artist of the Year at the American Music Awards 🤦🏾♀️ idk who was in charge but they fuckin blew it
They say that laughter is the best medicine and the BTS lovely goofy talented young men kept me in stitches during the pandemic. They all make our lives better every day - how could you not love all of them?? You are also making me giggle as well 💜💜
Girl!! I loved your reaction! I have seen Taylor’s Guide dozens of times! I never get bored of it and I cry every time! I also discovered BTS late (end of 2020) and was comforted when Yoongi said “don’t feel regretful you weren’t there for our debut. The day you first met us is the day we debuted.” These men are so precious, kind and talented!! You were spot on when you said they deserve everything! Welcome to the rabbit hole!! Looking forward to more reactions and joining you on your BTS journey!
Whenever I get this feeling that I'm nothing and unloved, I put on my playlist with all the songs BTS wrote for ARMY. It's a healing, crying session tbh. You will never find another group who loves their fans, as much as BTS loves ARMY. On ARMY's Birthday last year, if you search BTS in google, you'd see a purple heart shaped ballon on the page. When you click on it, purple balloons will fly up that you can pop just for fun as one of their gifts to us. If you pop on a balloon with a mic inside, you'll hear the boys saying I Purple You to Army. It's still up there and has not been removed. I still pop the balloons to this day when I'm bored at work haha. Jungkook would also go live in the wee hours of the morning whenever he misses Army. He would do karaoke sessions, taking in song requests, or you'd find him cooking, eating, having wine or beer and just chilling with us. When they announced their break (because of the military enlistment), Army initially thought that they are disbanding. Taehyung wrote us a letter, Namjoon also posted a letter of assurance and Jungkook went live to comfort us and assured Army that they are not disbanding. He sang for us, he did his dishes and just spent time with Army. They truly care and love us. Watch their vlive compilations or better yet, react to it. We won't get tired, promise. Hahaha!
I completely understand what you mean, they are my free therapy. For years I had no desire to listen to music even though when I was younger I used to love it. Then these wonderful humans found me round this time last year and I haven't looked back. Its not just their music, dancing or performance, its them as genuine, funny, loving, humble, human beings and the fact that they care about the energy they send out! 😘 💙💜💜💜💜💜💜🐋
OMG you are so funny and sweet and BEAUTIFUL. Watching your trip down the rabbit hole that is discovering BTS is so fun! They really are like finding a unicorn! Thank you for sharing this with us. And welcome to ARMY 💜
Weverse Get Weverse.. that is where BTS post all their stuff. It is where all the members do their lives as well. You can watch JK cook in his kitchen or have a karaoke party for hours. Its where we get to see a bit of their personal day to day lifes.
I'm literally 2 seconds into the video and seeing you emotional made me emotional just knowing i'm going to see someone experiencing BTS for the first time. I would literally be dead if it were not for them. They are my comfort and yes they do deserve the entire universe. I'm not going to suggest anything. You just let yourself fall down this beautiful rabbit hole and enjoy the fall down 💜
Ok I just have to say STOP! No more crying! You had me crying the whole time! I’ve been ARMY for 5 years and I’ve seen this video countless times and YOU still had me emotional. I’m glad you found them when you needed them! I was suffering, still suffering, from depression and anxiety and BTS got me out of the bed everyday! WELCOME to BTS & ARMY! You have a new sub, I’m loving your reactions!!
The horrid things they've had to endure is so heartbreaking and infuriating. When V's beloved grandmother passed away, antis accused him of seeking sympathy and started tweeting horrible things at him -- like pictures of open graves and death threats. XCeleste has done some videos about only some of what they've gone through. Much of which happened before they "got big" and were "nobodies" just getting sh*t on.
You have such a sweet disposition. I'm glad you are feeling better since you've discovered our safe-space Bangtan. When I tell you they've literally saved lives. They saved mine back in 2016. I think Namjoon's 2018 UN General Assembly speech will touch you. He has such a way with words. So relatable yet encouraging. (He's been called "the philosopher who raps" by K media in the past.) That's why we say he's our President. He always has the perfect words. I do think your bias is one or both of SOPE (SUGA + JHOPE). 😁 Not sure why ...(but they're both pure comfort, for opposite reasons.)
8 months ago I was living the worst days of my life and I found them. I was hopeless, i didn’t have anything to grab onto and I was just so tired of life and now that I’m an army i feel happy, motivated, excited and optimistic. I just love them so much, they’re really angels
I'm really enjoying your BTS reactions because you are genuinely falling in love with these guys just like we did. It's hard to explain but they will make your everyday life so much better. And even though they are going into the military now, there is enough bts content to keep us happy until they come back in 2025. I think your new bias is JK - you literally could not stop smiling during his intro. And fr that tat sleeve is 🔥🔥! Can't wait for more of your reactions. 💜💜
Try also watching the live versions of Euphoria-JK , Epiphany-Jin, Serendipity -Jimin, Tear - rap line after Singularity by V. Their live versions are always the best.
Why BTS didn't win grammy? Cz it doesn't depend how much your sells are or how famous or loved your song is.... It depends how "WHITE" you are.... If you know, you know🥱 Well, BTS never needed scammy. Can't say the same about scammys though.
Your reaction was my reaction when I started getting into them. My roommate says they uncorked something because I was crying all the time while watching their videos, etc. I feel like I'm watching myself when I see you react lol Welcome to the rabbit hole and to Army 💜
Greetings from Australia... Thank you for sharing your BTS journey with us..... Not sure if you know.... Korean people count age differently to others... Korean Age vs International Age - difference is 1-2 years depending on if their birthday has been.... In most videos, including this one, they are giving Korean ages so you will need to adjust. (So JK was only 13 when he joined Big Hit and 15 when he debuted. ) In Korea when you are born you are considered 1 year old. Then on 01 Jan every year you add another year to your age, no matter what your birthdate is. .... Year of birth - Actual age at Debut on 13June13 (Year and age became trainee) Jin 1992 - 20 yo (2011 - 18yo) Suga 1993- 20 yo (2011 - 17yo) JHope 1994 - 19 yo (2011 - 17yo) RM 1994 - 18 yo (2010 - 15yo) Jimin 1995 - 17 yo (2012 - 16yo) V 1995 - 17 yo (2011 - 15yo) JK 1997 - 15 yo (2011 - 13yo) Rule of thumb - if it's before their birthday - subtract 2 years to get international age. if it's after their birthday - subtract 1 year to get their international age. EG: TaeHyung (V) born 30 Dec 1995 ...... current International Age 27 (Korean Age 29). ... 2 years difference So Tae born 30 Dec 95 is 1 year old, then on 01 Jan 96 he is 1 more year older (so they would say he is 2 years old, when we would say he is 2 days old.) So he was considered 29 in Korea since 01 January, we would say he is 27 turning 28 in Dec. It's a different way of looking at age, from new years day - Tae is living his 29th year (since conception) - instead of - he turned 27 (since birth).... The Korean Government is recently bringing international age as the standard in Korea, but all older videos will be referencing Korean age. 💜Borahae
I've been a fan since I was 13-14 years old and I turn 20 in January! I basically grew up with these adorable dorks and it's been the best journey ever for me, even when I stopped being so heavily invested for a while in 2019-20 I ended up getting pulled right back in when my dad died. "Stay Gold" was the first song that popped up in my recommended when I got the news and gosh is that song freaking beautiful, it was on loop for maybe 3 days straight and I promised myself that my first tattoo will be dedicated to Stay Gold just for that very reason. As long as I've been here I've never been to a concert and that's the only thing I kind of regret in life because now I don't think I'll ever get the chance and thinking about that hurts like hell I love all 7 of my boys but I am Jimin and Jungkook biased. I find comfort from both of them in different ways and I really love their stage chemistry, their chemistry overall honestly. Jimin and Jungkook's subunit name is jikook but technically they've claimed it to be mingukkie when they were on a live with Tae lol. Despite the things I've seen being said about their bond, I think they have an amazing friendship and they're really close, it's so cute hahaha like they are my babies for real
I am 70. Follower of BTS since 2016. Welcome to ARMY. The members are good people. Coldplay's collaboration on 'My Universe' and then their collaboration with Jin where he sang good bye to ARMY are iconic. Don't watch The Astronaut live in Argentina without the Chris Martin intro. A lot of symbolism in the MV, but that's what BTS does. 💜
i've only been an army since around 2021, but with the amount of content that i've consumed, it feels like i've been with them since 2013. they have saved me so many times and are the center of my universe. no other group makes me feel the way they do and no one will ever be able to take their place. they become so special to us and find us exactly when we need them to. i'm so happy to have you join us on this journey and this amazing group. borahae!!!!
im so so happy that you love them so much 😭 alot of reactors only watch bts because we want them to and they want the views but we can tell just how genuine you are. and the fact that youve already gone and watched run bts on your own is so like heartwarming(?) not the best word but like it makes me so happy to see how much you like them already and how theyve impacted your life 💜💜💜
Thank you so much for this reaction!!! Everyone in Army are very welcoming and we totally feel what you felt during this reaction. Welcome down the BTSxARMY rabbit hole! Best rabbit hole I’ve ever fallen in.. EVER!!!! 💜💜💜💜
They even performed in the dark for their fans. A concert schedule got messed up (does any Army know the details?) but the concert venue shut down after all the other artists performed. BTS was somehow cut from the concert. But Army was in the audience so BTS went out and did their show without stage lights, fanfare and more than half the audience already gone since the other artists were finished. There's no film of it since the concert cameras were already turned off. But i think there's pictures of it floating around somewhere.
I believe the promoters cancelled BTSs performance just a couple hours ahead of time despite army waiting all day and despite BtS ready and willing to perform despite RM not being available. But they still went and performed after it was over just for army. No stage lights. No cameras rolling. Just for army
i just watched all your bangtan videos and oh my god, you're so sweet! i'm really happy that bangtan came to you at an important moment in your life, & i hope that they continue to make you a little bit happier every day
The " in the soop" on Disney plus is more of a Wooga squad vacation (Wooga squad is Tae and his actor friends like Park Seojun, Park Hyungsik, Choi Wooshik, and rapper Peakboy)
“ It's okay to find us late. You find us when you need us the most ” ㅡ Min Yoongi
I believe Min Yoongi said this.
@@LisaMT1218 didn't he say something like, don't worry if you didn't find us at debut times, whenever you found us that's when we debuted for you?
That was Min Yoongi (Suga)
This rings true to almost all ARMY I've come across. If you ask an ARMY how they found BTS and how they became ARMY, you'd end up bawling your eyes out. I remember there was a reactor who asked this, and the comment section of their video was full of ARMY stories and I cried so much that day, but at the same time found profound pride to stanning BTS. They truly deserve all good things in life. 💜
@@ladybangtan 😭💜
We're so happy to have you Emerald. Welcome to ARMY! 💜🫰
🥹 thank you!
Please involve us in your bts journey. We love seeing new armys react to bts😅💜
G DRAGON KING ,,..
Yes true😅
If someone told you a few months ago that you would cry while watching a BTS guide, you would probably have thought it was absolutely nonsensical😅😅 The emotions you're experiencing while watching them are exactly the same as those felt by ARMYs around the world when they discovered and connected with BTS. That is why we call them "not a typical boyband, but once-in-a-lifetime band" : ) They are not just a celebrities, they are qulified persons. Welcome to the world of BTS!!
YES!! all of this ☝️☝️☝️ yes, every word!!
You had me dying 😂 with "JK can sing the back of a Doritos bag and the Declaration of Independence" I think Jin is your bias. Enjoy your journey! 💜💜💜
They had me smiling again after a hard divorce. I was so depressed for a couple of years. Now I have cancer and I try and take their music into hospital with me whenever I can. They are such a comfort.
I hope you get better love don’t give up fighting !💜
@@sevcanyoney-ei8sv Aww. Thank you
Stay Safe. Remain Strong. Sending You Prayers & Well Wishes. Borahae 💜.
@@NikiAllen thank you xx
fighting!!💜💜
I’m 74! Just discovered BTS a year ago and I am so in love with them. Everything about them is special and fabulous!
Hello army greetings from Mexico 💜
I'm younger than you but still silver! Hi there 💜
49y/o hear, HAPPY FESTA, ARMY! I’ve been in love with BTS since 2016! It’s all love!💜
Happy Festa to you! 💜
62 Y/O next week, grandma from USA and I found them about 9 months ago. After work, I get nothing else done because I spend all my time on TH-cam learning about and getting to know these amazing young men and the messages they share with youth. I hadn't purchased an actual CD in over 10 years but then FACE came out. There was no way I was just going to do a download when I knew there was a hidden track on it. Now I own 3 more albums. By the way, THANK YOU, Jimin and BTS, for giving us this new video live of LETTER today!! That you would think of us (Army) in such a tender and profound way shows that our love for you is never taken for granted. HAPPY FESTA BTS & ARMY!! Also, Emerald, I found you because of your reaction to Angel Part 2 and was reminded of my first MV of BTS. I'm looking forward to watching a newborn Army become as blown away as I was (and still am) at the beginning of her journey.
53 year old Army here. I am loving watching your reactions. It is so nice to know I am not alone being cheered up and made super happy by watching these guys. Many people in my family do not understand, but they try to be tolerant. I am an elementary teacher and use BTS for dance breaks and my room is basically based on BTS. How terrific it is to tell second graders to love themselves! Keep enjoying the boys. They won’t let you down. Love my k-dramas, too!!
Girl. They saved me!!! They made my life so full of happiness after almost dying a few years ago from complications with my autoimmune disease and Covid!!! They told my husband to prepare himself. The doctors didn’t know what was going on or how to really help me. It was bad. My niece introduced me to them , after I was released from the hospital and I had to learn how to walk all over again, well Jimin through videos and I had PTSD so bad and through Jimin and BTS im so much better. Jimins smile literally makes my day. When he says “ARMYYYYY I LOVE YOU”. I brings tears to my eyes. They have brought laughter and taught me how to love myself!!! I love them so much. I don’t think they realize how many people they have helped and saved. They are amazing!!!!
hugs tight army. So glad ur here with us.
@@marinal. thank you so much. I love ARMY also so lucky to have found and become one with y’all!!! . I have never “met” such amazing people!!! 💜💜
@@nikki9599 i feel the same. Hugs tight. =0)
G DRAGON KING ,,.
Aw I’m so happy ur safe and healthier now army 💓 so many of us relate
Ok. First of all no more crying! I am a sympathetic cryer and you had me going. Second..I live on TH-cam watching countless hours of BTS content. Everything from music videos to compilations..run Bts.. bon voyage..in the soon. All the ship content..reactions to everything. If I am in a mood good or bad I watch anything with Bts and I am better.and happier. I also didn’t realize how depressed and unhappy I was until I started watching BTS. My kids have noticed how much happier I am. Keep on this journey. BTS will guide you. And watch Black Swan. It is so beautiful. And The Truth Untold.
Trust me i know the feeling of being obsessed and feeling like "where has this been all my life?", I became a fan in 2019 during my finals, i would binge watch bts videos until 4am instead of studying. I passed all my tests so i regret nothing lol😄 welcome to the fam 🥰
haha I can relate to you, I remember one time when I was doing my test but random bts facts kept popping up in my head, and sometimes I just zoned out in the middle of class thinking about them 😂
It’s so cute how these feelings you have are mirrored by so many. What other group has ever done this? Nobody cares that they are not from their own country or way younger (I am 59) but I laugh and smile so much with them. I have been obsessed for 5 years. Side note, watch Singularity live, V looks right into your soul. Love your reactions!
Have you seen Brilliant Singularity Live Stage Mix? This man is so sexy, hot and don't let me get started on TaeTae's velvety and deep voice, hot visuals and dancing. This video is so amazing.
Isn't it the most heartwarming and cozy feeling when BTS finds you? They feel like home 💜💜😊
nods
Like family
And then you find a million other family
@@evantesseract737 yep yep
Yeah for me they created a feeling that I never felt before. They thaught me A LOT on how to be more open minded, smart,... they are amazing I will be forever grateful to them! They feel like friends even tho I don't know them.
Did you know there is a full length BTS concert from their Permission to Dance tour on Disney+? Also, In the Soop: Friendcation is Taehyung (V) and his Wooga Squad friends he made while acting in K-Drama Hwarang. Definitely watch-worthy! 💜
I saw it listed during Asian Heritage Month!
I didn’t know if I should watch it yet haha
@@emeralddrea you really should! It’s so wholesome!
Also, Two documentaries, Suga and J Hope
Taehyung and Wooga squad is definitely worth a watch! Love his relationships with his wooga hyungs and BTS ❤
I became ARMY a year ago because of my 16-year-old. She constantly played their music and watched their videos. I ignored it until I found myself humming the melodies😂. Then I watched videos and read lyrics. OMG!!! They've touched my soul❤💜💯💯
Me too. Now my daughter does not follow BTS and I'm still an Army like n. 1 fan. Jimin ultimate bias like crazy.
So proud of you 💜
I wish my mom was interested in listening to them(or any group I listen to). She knows about them because shes always with me and I listen to them al the time and I have posters and albums in my room.

I've been an ARMY since nov.2013.... I basically grew up with BTS....I was just 13 yrs old when I discover them and I Love them so much ever since.......😊😊😊💜💜💜💜 I love your reactions,, It is so nice to see people showing love to them... They are my life😭😭
I'm so happy to see fans from 2013. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for you as an ARMY during 2014 to 2018. I have heard stories about other kpop fans being awful towards BTS during those years and I'm so glad that it's all in the past now.
ty for all ur hard work army! hugs
You're my son's age! A 2000-liner 😁
I love finding people who grew up with BTS. They're good people to have in mind as you grow. 💜
Wow nice to see another Army since 2013 , just like me I know them since 2013 and I was 15 . It's feels like they are a part of my life that I can't live without and now look at me 25 and a doctor that also still a huge fan of them
Taehyung was hidden before debut for a couple reasons.
1) they wanted him to be sort of aa surprise bonus for people anticipating BTS's debut
2) he hadn't auditioned anywhere else before so other companies didn't know about him. BigHit was afraid he would get poached by bigger companies with deeper pockets when they saw what a hidden gem he was.
Girl I love you. All your emotions are so valid and the way u discovering BTS and their amazing personality and outstanding talents. I have been an ARMY for exactly 3 years now and oh boy what a 3 years the best I ever had. I made some friends and discovered a safe space for me and my mental health that I never thought i would have. BTS are saving so many souls as we speak. BORAHAE
BTS finds you when you need them. I 100% believe that. I found them during the pandemic right when everything was shutting down- I was laid off my job and I was depressed. They made me smile and laugh and feel better. Tae wrote the song Blue and Grey during the pandemic (on their BE album) and I don’t know how he did it but he made me feel so seen- and described how I was feeling at the time. But they have some songs that are so comforting and they wrote for ARMY like Magic Shop and Zero O’Clock. I would fully suggest watching Magic Shop live! What made me love them was how humble they are and how much they love each other and ARMY. What other artist write multiple songs for their fans?? Welcome to the ARMY and falling down the rabbit hole! :)
I LOVED your reaction to Taylor's guide!!!
I've watched so many reactors watching this guide, and your reaction touched my heart.
When the boys got strung by the Grammys from the beginning till the end, then cut their performance shorter, then they didn't win. BTS did a Vlive and their viewership was greater than the Grammys!!!
When you watch My Universe with BTS and Coldplay, make sure you watch the behind the scenes where Chris Martin explains how their collab comes together.
Then when you watch The Astronaut by Jin, watch where he sings it with Coldplay and that behind the scenes.
I hope your bias is Jimin, cause he is mine. He was the first one who caught my eye and I love his dancing and singing, and he is such a sweet guy, with a mischievous side!
It might be V, or maybe Suga.
Enjoy your dive into the BTS rabbit hole.
Also, BTS has so many songs dedicated to and are written for ARMY.
Jimin's hidden tract Letter, JKs Magic Shop, We are Bulletproof the Eternal, and more💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Aww Emerald, I can't believe you ended the video with so many tears, sending you big hugs! I went through the same as you when I found BTS. I was going through a particularly tough time in my life, and not that the loss of my baby girl has gone away or anything, but BTS kept me sane and honestly alive through the darkest time of my life. I owe them my life, I owe them my sanity, and I'm so thankful they exist at the same time as I'm living on this planet. I hope they bring even more warmth and joy to your life as they did mine.
awww girl I got emotional when you mentioned that getting into bts has made you so genuinely excited when you haven't felt like that in a long time. I promise you that feeling doesn't go away. bts truly are a lifeline for so many people. I've been an army for 7+ years and I still get excited every single day for whatever next thing they do, it's truly such a blessing in life to know them. it doesn't matter when you discover them - you have so much time to consume their content however you want so take your time and enjoy the ride
That is totally how I feel! I lived for 52 years without BTS, discovered them last year, and now they are my second life!!! Lol! I’m married with three grown kids, and they all think I’m nuts since I have to watch their videos and listen to their music all the time. I gladly admit that I am obsessed. 💜
My eight year old humors me 😂😂😂
@djpaeg1 I am a 51 yr old army also with 3 grown kids who found BTS in 2017 and have been obsessed ever since. Luckily my two oldest also like them which is really nice 😊. Me, my youngest son and daughter just went and saw D-Day in the Cinema's. BTS and Army mean so much to me and I am so happy to be a part of it! Happy 10yr Anniversary! And to quote JK: Apobangpo 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I think a lot of us have the same story. BTS came into our lives and helped us overcome/deal with our depression and personal struggles. I don't know how they do it, but they are literal sources of light in this world. There is nobody like BTS, and there will never be. We always say, stan a group that stans you back. There have been times in the past when BTS and ARMY only had each other in the face of overwhelming hatred. It created an iron-clad bond that will never be broken. For what it's worth, I cry every time I watch this video, too. Welcome to ARMY. Borahae!
Definitely watch all the BTS Bon Voyage and In The Soop seasons. I binged them and fell in love with BTS at an even deeper level.
I can't believe how exactly you sound like me when I discovered BTS. I kept expecting my enthusiasm to wane, as I was watching them EVERY day, 2-3 hours or more. That was 5 years ago and I'm still here. This is how I've spent my retirement. Love your reactions.
I haven’t been bored in 2 weeks!! haha
And with FESTA and watching bangbang con yesterday…WHEWWWW I am loving it here lol
i was waiting for this! i continuously put myself down for discovering them so late, but namjoon told us that we would find them when we need them most. honestly being an army is the best thing that has happened to me yet, whether we have known them for a long time, or just recently found out about them, we still found them! they love us all just as equally, and im happy to watch your bts journey! i just started getting into them around 7 months ago but have known them for a very long time. i was never into kpop, but im so glad that i got into them. they have saved me and i genuinely wouldnt want it any other way. they sure do know how to make me emotional, i cry even when i see them smile lmao🤣
Welcome Emerald. BTS found me in 2022 and like many others, during a time of great personal change. I'm 67 years young and like yourself, wondered why I never heard of them. Their music, the lyrics that seem to mirror my own feelings and thoughts, the incredible dancing, their individual and group history of hard work and facing hardships spoke right to my heart. ARMY is gift and godsend not only for BTS members but to each other. I thank ARMY's of all ages, races, countries, etc...who are so supportive. BTS members are on this planet to bring people together, to help us all evolve as ONE. They have taught us all to love ourselves and when we do this one thing, we can and do create a better world. Welcome Emerald to this amazing journey together with millions of others around the world. YOU got here just in time. LOVE to ALL ARMY's!
I feel all the emotions you felt. Im so glad you are loving BTS, i love how humble and funny they are, they make my day 💜
I'm only 3 minutes into this video, and already I'm crying. As another person who discovered them while in depression, they are my lifeline They make me MOVE when all I want to do is burrow under my covers. They make me not care who's watching me 'dance", their songs lift me up... In energy, in spirit, in self-esteem, in self-care and general give-a-shit about life. Their music, lyrics, videos, personalities, wisdom, humor, and love/care for ARMYs is nourishment for my soul from God. I think it's wonderful that you watched their Run BTS show episodes to see them as people. One of the holiday greeting message videos really grabbed my heart: Yoongi was telling us (me) that we could be happy in this coming year, and that he wanted us to be. "YOONGI wants me to be happy" ended up becoming a mantra of sorts that carried me through so much and made me decide to take care of myself at least as much as I did my children. The simple smiles on their faces makes me smile, and inspires me to smile at others, and get through rough days. Millions of us have found hope again through BTS.I hope you find that for yourself as well💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
*Edit: The Scammys issue goes so far beyond "they didn't win", that I don't even want to get started on it. If my artist is placed in the proper category and faces impressive, equal quality competition, then I can be disappointed my artist didn't win, without anger. That's not what ARMY is taking issue with. There can even be disagreement with the subjective opinions of judges and others over the quality of the competition, and again, this isn't the issue ARMY has with the Scammy award show. The issues lies in repeatedly, year after year, after year, exploiting BTS for clout and viewership, and to egregiously abuse ARMY attention, while consistently being racist, expecting the "phenomenon", the "sensation", the flash -in-the-pan fad they dismiss BTS as, to disappear back to Korea and stop competing with Western artists. There are SEVERAL very good videos by Boracity Magazine channel that analyze and articulate the battle between BTS and Western music industry, that i highly suggest you watch (react if you want, but at least watch for yourself). Make sure you take any blood pressure meds first(i wish i was joking). I want to clarify that I'm not jumping on a bandwagon steered by a content creator, but instead have had my own opinions articulated, and validated by data from multiple sources, and Boracity does a good job laying all that info out into a concise, cohesive presentation. I will NEVER watch those awards again, and have zero respect for them. They need us more than we need them to validate BTS as a talented, world-shifting, motivating, innovative music group. They had their opportunity to see/hear BTS' artistry, and didn't recognize it because they weren't paid to, and any future Scammy award given to BTS will only be to pander to ARMY since I no longer believe in the authenticity of the award or the integrity of the judges. I will give my support directly to my artist. Sorry I went long, but I've barely begun. I'm a mature woman, and not overly caught up in awards or whether my artist wins, so please believe when i say it goes so far beyond that and ARMY are unfairly dismissed as over-reacting poor losers.
LOVED watching your reaction💜 Welcome, ARMY!! There is so much for you to discover and learn! Looking forward to watching your journey!
Absolutely loved your reaction. Let the tears roll. It shows your compassion and love for the members and what they had to go thru to achieve world wide success. You should watch their Grammy performance of "Butter". They should have won the grammy just for that performance alone. It got a standing ovation from the audience .
They cry plenty, and they sure don't think less of us when we do 💜
Please watch Serendipity, and Lie. Two of Jimins amazing solo songs.
Who's gonna tell her about JK and Weverse 😂😂 Oh it's Festa Season and our first gift was being told we have and OT7 song "Take Two" coming on June 9
Ayyyeee, I’ve been an Army since 2015, from 17 y/o to 25 and I really feel like I’ve grown up with them. They’re one of the biggest if not the main reason why I’m still here today. I give a lot of credit to them because they were able to save me when I wasn’t even able to save myself. I’m here for the BTS journey, even if you’re not thinking of going down the rabbit hole on camera, you’ve earned a subscriber 👏🏼👏🏼😁
Sending you love. You’re a beautiful person and I’m glad we gained another amazing person in ARMY. 💜 BTS got you, for real.
I think, that Jungkook is your bias 😊. But everybody loves Jimin too, and each member is always in our hearts.
Every Army understands you completely. I've laughed lot while watching you reaction.
My sister and my daughters are Army too and we enjoy life completely together with BTS.
I send you a big hug ❤ from Germany.
Girl yes I didn’t realize how happy I was till I found them too. The hold these man have on me is insane.
Same!!!
V is very handsome sexy perfect is King visual í Love you forever 🤴🔥🥵🔥🥵🐅🐅😏😌😜✌
Also in terms of the Grammys, BTS got the last laugh bc their livestream that they did after with the fans got 11 million views initially, while the grammys only got 8 million to tune in total. When most of the views were army and it dropped to 3 million after their performance. Who rlly needs who?? Fr
The biggest flex ever!!
That moment you realise just how special these 7 men are. I count myself as so lucky to have been ARMY since the very beginning. I found them when I stumbled on their TH-cam vlogs before debut. I was already into Kpop and was just looking for “something”. And there they were. Over the years they have helped me through some incredibly hard times, gave me hope when I felt I had none, showed me how to love myself even with all my faults. I would go to the ends of the earth to protect these boys. In ARMY I have found a second family, people who accept me, understand me and support me though we have never met. They say we find BTS when we need them and it sounds like this is your time. Always know that in showing love and respect to the boys, you will be taken into the family of ARMY who will be there for you without judgement. I hope you continue discovering these amazing talents. ARMY will be here with you to answer your questions, to laugh with you and to cry with you. Welcome baby ARMY. BORAHAE. 💜💜💜💜
I've been with them since 2013 and it's been one heck of a journey and is gunna continue becoming a journey. I've made so many friends from Army and definitely is a life changer for sure. They are like a family to me I love Army 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

BTS has found you and we ARMY will always be here for each other. Now and forever. Welcome to ARMY 💜💜💜💜
@1:03:50 YES EXACTLY. Like the video said, bts do nothing but pour inspiration and good energy into the world so if you hate them, it's definitely you.
THIS!
I'm ARMY of less than two years. I can't imagine the emotional rollercoaster a fan from 2013 must have gone through. This video is a good summary, but they barely touched on the struggles the band has gone through. No mention of Suga's injury, J-Hope nearly quitting, or the infamous dumpling incident (though they mentioned the song Friends [58:46], which came about from it). I've seen other reactors react to this video, but I held off watching it. When I found your channel and saw your honest, sincere, sometimes hilarious reactions, I knew who I wanted to watch it with. I made notes with time codes and everything, though I'm already long winded, so I probably won't mention all of them. (Surprisingly, with how lengthy it is, I left out over half my notes! 😳)
The song in the background (7:48) is Euphoria, which is also played during Jungkook's section. It's a favorite (have to try to hit the high note - fail every time! Lol!) in addition to Ego (32:39 - it's playing in the background, but not labeled), Moon (36:43) and Filter (58:18 - watch the Live version, like what they showed in the clip. 🔥).
(9:20) I'm no expert, but your pronunciation of BTS seemed spot on to me.
(12:20) Lol! You described Latin Pop perfectly, in this case, as you'll see when you watch the video. Airplane (pt1) was a solo from J-Hope. He does part of that song in Airplane Pt2, when he does his part, dancing on the bar.
(21:18) Very wise words. 💜 It doesn't usually take much to just be respectful to others.
(28:08) I'm sorry to hear you've struggled, but am definitely happy to hear there's been a breakthrough. 💜💜💜 BTS's messages of hope, love, and positivity have been literal lifesavers for some. My life has not been the same since I found them.
(40:26) Jin literally asked us to not make Super Tuna a viral sensation.... 😂 we did not listen!
(1:07:15) I think their love for ARMY and the lengths they go to show it is one of the main reasons people tend to stick with them when we find them.
(1:15:08) Jin joined the military back in December. J-Hope joined mid-April. I believe RM will be next. Because of his shoulder injury, I believe Suga was either exempted or will serve in an alternate way. If other ARMYs have managed to slog through my soliloquy, they might have a better idea of what Suga will do.
A pure guess as to who your Bias is would be RM. My only reason for choosing him was that you said you tried to underplay your reaction and it seemed that way with RM.
when you said your bias changed due to RUN BTS I guessed Jin at first but after watching the video I guess it's either Suga or Jungkook which means you really need to get on Weverse because you don't want to miss JK's random 2+ hrs karaoke or cooking live streams ;)
Ps: I'm so glad that bts managed to bring some joy and laughter into your life again!
The last JK live….we did make it into the bedroom finally. 😂lol
Also lat pop look up jimins filter.
Girl you've been my fav reactor I've found so far when reacting to BTS for the first time. You're so genuine and funny fr. Borahae💜
Girllll you make me excited to be an army all over again. 💜 if you want to record yourself watching run bts, bon voyage or in the soop we would love to watch it with you. I love watching people watch those shows.
Aka I think your bias suga
I was crying right along with you. I have seen this introduction video to BTS so many times and cry each time.
Same💜
yeah, same
Me too. Every damn time
Same
We are here for you girl. ARMY has your back. I am a 50 year old mom, so anything you need I am here. Fought with depression for so long, being there. BTS has brighten my life so much. I am so thankful to this loveley boys.
Run BTS is therapy 💜. Yoongi is my guess as your bias. Love them all, but Jimin has a special place in my heart.
I found BTS at the right time. I was depressed after going through a second miscarriage but they really make my days so much brighter. 3 years and 2 concerts later I’m in a way better place :)
Airplane Pt 2 is one of my favorites! It’s one I always recommend.
Sympathetic crier, here. I feel this so hard as someone that has been struggling through depression for many years now. Other than my family, it seems like BTS (and now a couple other groups I have discovered) are the only thing that consistently make me laugh and smile. Can't imagine how I would have gotten through the last 5 years without them. They're just so accessible, it doesn't take the EFFORT that everything else in life seems to. Purple hearts to you, friend, keep fighting through!
I’m so glad BTS has found you & has helped brighten your life a little bit.
As for the Grammys, I’m actually not very familiar with any of the winning songs but what gets me is how can a one time collaboration- not an actual duo - beat a group who’ve been making music together for 7-10 years. I wish they would make a separate category so that it is more fair.
You nice, keep going. Borahae 💜
Totally agree💜
Nothing more beautiful in this world than seeing the birth of a baby Army, I’d love to be one again!
I thought your bias was Jimin. But based off this video I think it’s Yoongi (Suga). Suga Zaddy gave it away. lol 😁 Loved your reaction! Can’t wait for more reactions. 💜
Oh my goodness girl!!! I am so happy to follow you on the wonderful journey. And I'm so glad BTS found you . Can't wait to see more. I haven't watched your other reactions yet other than Jimin's but I think your bias is V 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜So happy for you. I'll recommend Black Swan, Mic Drop, Tiny Desk Concert, there's so many LoL have fun...ps a new song from all of them on the 9th they created it before Jin enlisted and it's dedicated to ARMY of course .
Your journey mirrors my best friend's to a crazy degree! I was ARMY for a year and a half before she went to a theater with me to watch their concert from Seoul. Jimin in the rain being all hot flipped a switch, and down the rabbit hole she went. They pulled her out of a depression, they have her excited about life again. And now getting to watch your journey, she's getting to experience that again. As am I. Thank you so much for sharing your journey! ❤
Borahae!!
Your commentary is SOOO good and funny and I love it. You crack me up!! I would just like to hear BTS better, plz. Your volume is better and much appreciated.
Your bias is either Suga or Jungkook 🤷🏾♀️ I guess Suga because of your nickname for him 😂 can’t call a man Zaddy and not be a fan and Jungkook only because it’s JK 😂 ( you’ll get that joke the deeper down the rabbit hole you go and start watching compilations of their live streams) 💜 I love your reactions so far! Your reaction to your sister’s boycott of the Grammys was my entire family’s reaction til I broke it down for them Dynamite 2021 loss and Butter 2022 loss had the #1 spot on Billboard for weeks record breaking weeks with ridiculous video and audio stream numbers and high sales but loss to 2 songs that no offense to any artist involved didn’t hold a torch to either of the BTS tracks. The Scammys brought them on to perform for the ratings but wouldn’t give them the award they clearly deserved when they had just won Artist of the Year at the American Music Awards 🤦🏾♀️ idk who was in charge but they fuckin blew it
They say that laughter is the best medicine and the BTS lovely goofy talented young men kept me in stitches during the pandemic. They all make our lives better every day - how could you not love all of them?? You are also making me giggle as well 💜💜
girl get you a ad blocker its been amazing havent had a youtube ad in over a year and yes singularity will rock your world
Your reaction was so heartfelt and honest, and so true to ARMY experience. You are purple-blooded now! You get it, and we get you. Borahae, sister.
Girl!! I loved your reaction! I have seen Taylor’s Guide dozens of times! I never get bored of it and I cry every time! I also discovered BTS late (end of 2020) and was comforted when Yoongi said “don’t feel regretful you weren’t there for our debut. The day you first met us is the day we debuted.” These men are so precious, kind and talented!! You were spot on when you said they deserve everything! Welcome to the rabbit hole!! Looking forward to more reactions and joining you on your BTS journey!
REACTIONS V singularity stage mix pleaseee 🥺🙏
Can you pls also post run bts reactions
I would love to see them 💜💜💜💜
Im guessing that your bias is taehyung 😗😗
Whenever I get this feeling that I'm nothing and unloved, I put on my playlist with all the songs BTS wrote for ARMY. It's a healing, crying session tbh. You will never find another group who loves their fans, as much as BTS loves ARMY.
On ARMY's Birthday last year, if you search BTS in google, you'd see a purple heart shaped ballon on the page. When you click on it, purple balloons will fly up that you can pop just for fun as one of their gifts to us. If you pop on a balloon with a mic inside, you'll hear the boys saying I Purple You to Army. It's still up there and has not been removed. I still pop the balloons to this day when I'm bored at work haha.
Jungkook would also go live in the wee hours of the morning whenever he misses Army. He would do karaoke sessions, taking in song requests, or you'd find him cooking, eating, having wine or beer and just chilling with us. When they announced their break (because of the military enlistment), Army initially thought that they are disbanding. Taehyung wrote us a letter, Namjoon also posted a letter of assurance and Jungkook went live to comfort us and assured Army that they are not disbanding. He sang for us, he did his dishes and just spent time with Army. They truly care and love us. Watch their vlive compilations or better yet, react to it. We won't get tired, promise. Hahaha!
I completely understand what you mean, they are my free therapy. For years I had no desire to listen to music even though when I was younger I used to love it. Then these wonderful humans found me round this time last year and I haven't looked back. Its not just their music, dancing or performance, its them as genuine, funny, loving, humble, human beings and the fact that they care about the energy they send out! 😘
💙💜💜💜💜💜💜🐋
OMG you are so funny and sweet and BEAUTIFUL. Watching your trip down the rabbit hole that is discovering BTS is so fun! They really are like finding a unicorn! Thank you for sharing this with us. And welcome to ARMY 💜
Girl😂 i don't know who your bias is right now. From the way you reacted to all the members. 😭😂
It's either V, Jungkook or Jimin . My guess is in-between those 3.
Or how could I forget j hope, with his swag.
Weverse
Get Weverse.. that is where BTS post all their stuff. It is where all the members do their lives as well. You can watch JK cook in his kitchen or have a karaoke party for hours. Its where we get to see a bit of their personal day to day lifes.
I'm literally 2 seconds into the video and seeing you emotional made me emotional just knowing i'm going to see someone experiencing BTS for the first time. I would literally be dead if it were not for them. They are my comfort and yes they do deserve the entire universe. I'm not going to suggest anything. You just let yourself fall down this beautiful rabbit hole and enjoy the fall down 💜
I always tell people to follow their own curiosity and I'll come along.
I'm glad you're here 💜
Ok I just have to say STOP! No more crying! You had me crying the whole time! I’ve been ARMY for 5 years and I’ve seen this video countless times and YOU still had me emotional. I’m glad you found them when you needed them! I was suffering, still suffering, from depression and anxiety and BTS got me out of the bed everyday! WELCOME to BTS & ARMY! You have a new sub, I’m loving your reactions!!
Borahae 💜💜 💜 and I feel like your Bias is either Tae or Yoongi....
When Kook was punchin the crap out of that purple punching bag, gurl. . . . gurl. lol the look on your face. lol!!!!! I'mma say same
The horrid things they've had to endure is so heartbreaking and infuriating.
When V's beloved grandmother passed away, antis accused him of seeking sympathy and started tweeting horrible things at him -- like pictures of open graves and death threats.
XCeleste has done some videos about only some of what they've gone through. Much of which happened before they "got big" and were "nobodies" just getting sh*t on.
I get you. They have helped me with my depression also. Thank you for sharing. And for reacting. BTS will always be a huge part of my life.
You have such a sweet disposition. I'm glad you are feeling better since you've discovered our safe-space Bangtan. When I tell you they've literally saved lives. They saved mine back in 2016. I think Namjoon's 2018 UN General Assembly speech will touch you. He has such a way with words. So relatable yet encouraging. (He's been called "the philosopher who raps" by K media in the past.) That's why we say he's our President. He always has the perfect words. I do think your bias is one or both of SOPE (SUGA + JHOPE). 😁 Not sure why ...(but they're both pure comfort, for opposite reasons.)
8 months ago I was living the worst days of my life and I found them. I was hopeless, i didn’t have anything to grab onto and I was just so tired of life and now that I’m an army i feel happy, motivated, excited and optimistic. I just love them so much, they’re really angels
I'm really enjoying your BTS reactions because you are genuinely falling in love with these guys just like we did. It's hard to explain but they will make your everyday life so much better. And even though they are going into the military now, there is enough bts content to keep us happy until they come back in 2025. I think your new bias is JK - you literally could not stop smiling during his intro. And fr that tat sleeve is 🔥🔥! Can't wait for more of your reactions. 💜💜
FILTER: i think im pregnant...😂😂😂😂 same gurl....he shocked and choked us when that was released.
Try also watching the live versions of Euphoria-JK , Epiphany-Jin, Serendipity -Jimin, Tear - rap line after Singularity by V. Their live versions are always the best.
Why BTS didn't win grammy? Cz it doesn't depend how much your sells are or how famous or loved your song is....
It depends how "WHITE" you are.... If you know, you know🥱
Well, BTS never needed scammy. Can't say the same about scammys though.
Your reaction was my reaction when I started getting into them. My roommate says they uncorked something because I was crying all the time while watching their videos, etc. I feel like I'm watching myself when I see you react lol Welcome to the rabbit hole and to Army 💜
Me too, right here with y'all 💜
Greetings from Australia... Thank you for sharing your BTS journey with us..... Not sure if you know.... Korean people count age differently to others...
Korean Age vs International Age - difference is 1-2 years depending on if their birthday has been.... In most videos, including this one, they are giving Korean ages so you will need to adjust.
(So JK was only 13 when he joined Big Hit and 15 when he debuted. )
In Korea when you are born you are considered 1 year old. Then on 01 Jan every year you add another year to your age, no matter what your birthdate is. ....
Year of birth - Actual age at Debut on 13June13 (Year and age became trainee)
Jin 1992 - 20 yo (2011 - 18yo)
Suga 1993- 20 yo (2011 - 17yo)
JHope 1994 - 19 yo (2011 - 17yo)
RM 1994 - 18 yo (2010 - 15yo)
Jimin 1995 - 17 yo (2012 - 16yo)
V 1995 - 17 yo (2011 - 15yo)
JK 1997 - 15 yo (2011 - 13yo)
Rule of thumb - if it's before their birthday - subtract 2 years to get international age. if it's after their birthday - subtract 1 year to get their international age.
EG: TaeHyung (V) born 30 Dec 1995 ...... current International Age 27 (Korean Age 29). ... 2 years difference
So Tae born 30 Dec 95 is 1 year old, then on 01 Jan 96 he is 1 more year older (so they would say he is 2 years old, when we would say he is 2 days old.)
So he was considered 29 in Korea since 01 January, we would say he is 27 turning 28 in Dec.
It's a different way of looking at age, from new years day - Tae is living his 29th year (since conception) - instead of - he turned 27 (since birth)....
The Korean Government is recently bringing international age as the standard in Korea, but all older videos will be referencing Korean age.
💜Borahae
I've been a fan since I was 13-14 years old and I turn 20 in January! I basically grew up with these adorable dorks and it's been the best journey ever for me, even when I stopped being so heavily invested for a while in 2019-20 I ended up getting pulled right back in when my dad died. "Stay Gold" was the first song that popped up in my recommended when I got the news and gosh is that song freaking beautiful, it was on loop for maybe 3 days straight and I promised myself that my first tattoo will be dedicated to Stay Gold just for that very reason. As long as I've been here I've never been to a concert and that's the only thing I kind of regret in life because now I don't think I'll ever get the chance and thinking about that hurts like hell
I love all 7 of my boys but I am Jimin and Jungkook biased. I find comfort from both of them in different ways and I really love their stage chemistry, their chemistry overall honestly. Jimin and Jungkook's subunit name is jikook but technically they've claimed it to be mingukkie when they were on a live with Tae lol. Despite the things I've seen being said about their bond, I think they have an amazing friendship and they're really close, it's so cute hahaha like they are my babies for real
BTS In the Soop seasons are really good (better than the one with V and his actor friends, no offense to that one of course it's cute)
My neighbors probably think I'm a lunatic laughing so hard to myself on my porch while you talk about JK singing about Doritos. I'm dying 😂😂
I am 70. Follower of BTS since 2016. Welcome to ARMY. The members are good people. Coldplay's collaboration on 'My Universe' and then their collaboration with Jin where he sang good bye to ARMY are iconic. Don't watch The Astronaut live in Argentina without the Chris Martin intro. A lot of symbolism in the MV, but that's what BTS does. 💜
I have also met them in person at fan signings when they began till 2018 it was so much fun I love it.
Wow, who is the most real at the old fan signings?
i've only been an army since around 2021, but with the amount of content that i've consumed, it feels like i've been with them since 2013. they have saved me so many times and are the center of my universe. no other group makes me feel the way they do and no one will ever be able to take their place. they become so special to us and find us exactly when we need them to. i'm so happy to have you join us on this journey and this amazing group. borahae!!!!
im so so happy that you love them so much 😭 alot of reactors only watch bts because we want them to and they want the views but we can tell just how genuine you are. and the fact that youve already gone and watched run bts on your own is so like heartwarming(?) not the best word but like it makes me so happy to see how much you like them already and how theyve impacted your life 💜💜💜
Thank you so much for this reaction!!! Everyone in Army are very welcoming and we totally feel what you felt during this reaction. Welcome down the BTSxARMY rabbit hole! Best rabbit hole I’ve ever fallen in.. EVER!!!! 💜💜💜💜
They even performed in the dark for their fans. A concert schedule got messed up (does any Army know the details?) but the concert venue shut down after all the other artists performed. BTS was somehow cut from the concert. But Army was in the audience so BTS went out and did their show without stage lights, fanfare and more than half the audience already gone since the other artists were finished.
There's no film of it since the concert cameras were already turned off. But i think there's pictures of it floating around somewhere.
I believe the promoters cancelled BTSs performance just a couple hours ahead of time despite army waiting all day and despite BtS ready and willing to perform despite RM not being available. But they still went and performed after it was over just for army. No stage lights. No cameras rolling. Just for army
Thank God for Army fancam. It's the One Busan Concert. I love rewatching that one, amazing Save Me performance 💜
i just watched all your bangtan videos and oh my god, you're so sweet! i'm really happy that bangtan came to you at an important moment in your life, & i hope that they continue to make you a little bit happier every day
Hey, my new fav you tuber!! I think your bias is V!!
The " in the soop" on Disney plus is more of a Wooga squad vacation (Wooga squad is Tae and his actor friends like Park Seojun, Park Hyungsik, Choi Wooshik, and rapper Peakboy)
Because of the ARMY charities and RM I gave up drinking water from water bottles. I wanted to do my part.
45:01 “JK sing my bills to me”💀🤣🤣🤣🤣 the recipe also!🤣🤣🤣🤣💜
