Curious about the latest issues surrounding K-pop sensation BTS? Find out the truth about the HYBE boycott, Jungkook's cooking in the military, V's English skills, and more in this video!
I'll be discussing some of the most talked about topics regarding BTS. From controversies to updates, this video will give you all the information you need to know about your favorite group. Don't miss out on this must-watch for all BTS fans!
At least Taehyung is speaking and singing English which I think is a great treat for all English speakers. I can't speak Korean nor would I attempt it because I would butcher the language. He has the courage to do it. As for their military careers, there's no easy career or job. Any military chef( I refuse to call them cooks) knows what they do. I have seen them in action. Try cooking for hundreds of soldiers. Yes it's not a picnic. Or a military banquet. Kudos to the military chefs! America is not boycotting anything. Fyi we have a political mess we're dealing with atm lol
....and it's Taehyung's third language.... he speaks Japanese like most of the members. So, for a third language - he's doing great. I love the song, but I loved all of them in Korean (even though I have to wait for subtitles on everything)
@@alanhigh9709 🙂 yes I wait for the subtitles too. But it is worth the wait. And ty! I didn't know it was his third language! I am even more impressed. I was never ambitious enough to learn another language unfortunately.
Well Said! 😊
@@alanhigh9709 HE speaks French too
I saw some former Korean Military guys comment on how much they respect JK for doing the Army Chef route because it's insanely strenuous and the hours are longer and you have to wake-up crazy early. They also said that what makes them respect him more is that as a famous idol, he could've done any other job suited for idols but chose to cook instead.
You nailed!
Let them do their time as peacefully as possible. The best we can hope for is for them to find some joy in their militar time. So happy that they’re able to find activities that appeal to them and that will make their time enjoyable and pass faster.
V’s accent is the most adorable thing ever. If there is a version without it, I would still choose to listen to the one with the accent. I just adore it. Let’s all focus on our time as people and as Army, support them, stream their work as much as possible in our private life and not stress about crazy people and things that are out of our control, like wars and military decisions…. 😬💜
Hard to see so many ARMY still get affected by these things on social media. We should be very proud and confident about our boys. The people spreading negativity don't even really matter do they? Why do their opinions matter so much to ARMY? Nobody can really insult you if you know what the truth is. If they start to do it and you don't react it actually says to them...your opinion doesn't really matter to me. You can think what you like. It doesn't affect me either way. It's how I always deal with people laughing at me because I love BTS. They later on change their minds and want to know more because they realize I'm not being silly about it.
honestly its a very small section thats very loud that pushes these agendas and it has not affected BTS anyway because these people were never the ones that were truly supporting them in the first place anyway and seeing how its not affecting anything hurts their ego more. Best is to simply ignore.
Targeting POC artists on the other end of the world who have nothing to do with any of these serious issues just because of somebody in their agency who is not even directly working for their label bighit just to feel morally superior shows how some people really need to go out and see the real world not to mention that they are literally serving their military.
if your activism starts and ends with a musical artist then its high time you reevaluate your self.
Thank you for addressing these bullies so sensibly. I am wary and weary of these performative protesters demanding we all board their bandwagons. And thank you for stating what should be obvious---military duty isn't summer camp. South Koreans are required to serve for a reason. The threat is real. Pray for peace. 💜
I appreciate your take on what has been happening on social media.
I completely agree with you on all your points.
I try to stay away from social media and support the guys projects.
I think of that tiny mosquito that makes so much noise.
When I first saw this video it was on TV and I couldn't make a comment. I try to ignore the political issues that seem to be infecting the young fandom. I like the way you deal with that issue. I was very relieved and happy that Jungkook is a cook now instead of out in the field with a firearm. He likes to cook and even though it's a hard job I want to believe that he's doing OK in that position, working on a plan to take over the management of food service on the base. I was impressed that the first thing he mentioned in his letter to ARMY on Weverse was that he is "exercising hard", putting his priorities in order. As for V's pronunciation, whenever someone mentions that issue to me,, I just ask "and how many languages do you speak?" I have been watching a lot of your videos lately and I'm glad you are willing and able to be a voice of reason in this troubling time. Thank you... btw, I've recently joined your Patreon channel. 🕊😇 💚🌹💜
Give them attention, they will never stop, ignore them, they get bored and go away. They only want attention, thats all 🙄
Thank you so much for reminding people about the status of the war between North and South Korea. I think many people don't understand what it is like and think "oh, that ended a long time ago," when it most definitely has not. I think it's hard for people in countries where no foreign country has invaded or threatened invasion. For Americans, imagine if the Civil War had ended in a barely maintained cease fire, instead of reunification. Imagine that your neighboring states were not only closed to you, but continued to be a threat and only refrained from continuing the war because they lacked support from other countries. It's a strange situation that, while it may not affect everyone's day to day life, it certainly affects the country as a whole and in the back of a citizens mind is the knowledge that a maniacal dictator just across their border could initiate hostilities again at any moment. So the fact that these seven men are serving their country under such conditions deserves our utmost respect.
It's probably kinda like living during the Cold War. I grew up during that time, and it was just something we had to live with, the fact that at any moment, one side might decide to launch, the other would retaliate, and we'd all be obliterated. In fact, my friends and I discussed it on our way home from elementary school: we reasoned that as we lived so close to a very major city, we'd be among the first targeted, and we would probably go up in the initial blast. There wouldn't be any post-apocalypse for us. And we concluded that was probably a good thing. In the meantime, we just went on with our lives, because there's no sense worrying until something actually happens. And yet, you kinda worry anyway. You don't actually think, 'Yeah, see you next week as long as we're both still around then', but there's an awareness and a kind of underlying tentative feeling that 'this could change, badly'.
@@ystrw
Korea's situation is interesting because there are experts that say an attack by NK is a question of time now and not an if anymore.
NK is certainly doing demonstrative weapon testing currently.
@@ruthfischer7615 Yeah, NK's been pretty bold with their threats and their testing lately. The Kim dictators have pulled harassing/terrorizing moves before, but things do feel more serious now.
I think Jong Un is seeing the stress between China and SK as an opportunity. I think he wants to pull off his own personal Crimea...or Ukraine... and not let Russia get all the territorial-invasion credit, so to speak. Stupid of him, though. China really wants financial advantages from SK, and they are very unlikely to allow Jong Un to take control. And the West will not be pleased, either. The US has a mutual defense treaty with the South...
I totally agree with what u said
What does it matter about jk and Jimin service
And V pronunciation
I will always support each of the boys and will always 💜
Tae’s pronunciation was perfect!!! I pray for all the boy’s safety in the military. No matter what job they are doing they are amazing!!!!!
V’s English pronunciation is fine.
I really appreciate your thoughts and input in this video. My opinion on the protests is that those responsible are actually trying to use BTS members popularity to draw attention to their cause, the so called boycott is of no significant impact looking at how BTS and the members solo work have been charting even in their absences. In regards to JK's choice of military job, many tend to be tunnel vision and only see things in the form of a competition which serving in the military is far from it. From experience working in the kitchen as a soldier is one of the most difficult jobs and is highly regarded, these are the soldiers that keep us fed with very nutritious meals three times per day...a very important task if you're to maintain able bodies that can meet the demands of military. All jobs are important and necessary to have a military command that can rise in victory when necessary. I hope true fans take heed and respect the members choice in service and allow them to peacefully complete their requirement healthly. 💜
Thank you for speaking out. Love from Germany
Giving that kind of comment to V!? He speaks Japanese, of course aside from native language, and now he is learning and improving his English! For the love of music and probably he wants to reach to his other fans, which I think most don't mind if his song is Korean. Actually he speaks English with touch of Korean accent in a cute way. I don't care, as long as it's V..just wait & you'll be amazed how he has progressed. BTW V can also sing a tenor level of song like Il Divo with an operatic voice..thank you and love your channel!
OMG.. this is sooo random but.. KOREAN accent. YES! So many people say "I love his English accent" and I'm like he's Korean so he's speaking English with a KOREAN accent. English doesn't even have an accent.
but anywhoo I agree his accent is such a part of what makes him attractive (imo)
@@taetertoddy1230Well, English does have accents; UK English and American English both have very different pronunciation depending on the speaker's region. People in Texas sound different from people in Maine, who sound different from people in Dakota, who don't sound much like people in California. Their versions of Satoori, basically. Similarly, people in London sound *extremely* different from people in Glasgow- so different, it can be hard to tell that they're speaking the same language. Also, UK English assigns different meaning to some words than US English does, enough to lead to a bit of confusion between tourists.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness and strength addressing these topics 💜 Let Jung COOK I say! Just like his original TT handle said 😂 It’s an important job as any other and we know he’ll succeed in it. 💜 Taehyung’s English is getting better and better. It’s so apparent in FRI(END)S. I applaud him for continuing to work at. Any English speaker who has tried to learning Korean knows how different and challenging it can be, so just imagine it from his point of view of trying to learn English and sing it as well! I admire him. 😊 My only hope for the Tannies is that they stay safe, keep their spirits up during their enlistment, and return healthy and inspired for their future endeavours, whatever they may be. 💜
Thank You! Your comments reflect the messages that I have loved from BTS: "be a good human"! We needed the reminder. We can (should!) be passionate ... *AND* ... be calm, respectful, and caring of each other.
My opinion: 1) Fri(end)s is a lovely song... The MV was cute and thought provoking... Please respect V's accent, period! 2) JK loves to cook and this duty seems to be right up his alley! 3) Jimin is known for being brainy so this duty is right up his alley! They are in the military...not on vacation!! The ONLY people that would be upset by these assigned duties is an immature status seeker! Please be a better human!
Well said!
So much truth spoken here!
Thank you for posting this!💜
One thing we have to make clear real ARMYS are not boycotting BTS, true Armys will ever do that.
I like your "down to earth" advice for people who have to deal with BTS Antis sometimes. Also, to show that the boycotting is not working against BTS. I love that JK is a cook because he obviously enjoys cooking, and we are all aware of Jimin's high levels of maths and physics, which are required for FDC. Also split second decision making and level headedness. Two reasons that RM said Jimin knew him the best as he often needed Jimin's skills when he himself was faltering.
V had a problem just learning Seoul Korean (he spoke sartoori from his hometown), but he is fluent in Japanese. His English pronunciation is not a problem for most who think it's cute.
I love your channel or videos stating facts about BTS. i am a baby Army after my daughter's love for BTS. You have a very insightful, sensible and reasonable commentaries. Keep sticking to the truth, BTS are so lovable boys, I love them not just because of their good character, loving, truthful, and dedication to make their fans happy, but most of all they are so inspiring to watch, their music and their skills are top notch. Please keep up the good work, don't let the toxicity of immature, toxic, pretentious people stop you. We will stand and always support our 7 lovely boys.
My goodness, where to start?
Thank you for your insightful posts! They help fill in the side story, so informative. I really appreciate you.
JK is brilliant! What an excellent choice and fit, serving as chef/cook. He likes to work hard and be of service to others. Add in the immediate satisfaction of feeding his hungry brothers, perfect!
Jimin is very good with math. His service area is an excellent fit for his talent, skills and ability! Certainly needed in his service area!
Tae? Some are complaining about Tae? Seriously now... show us a video of you singing his song. I really want to hear it♡
How about taking a deep breath, and calm our minds.
The next few weeks are going to be weird enough with a lunar eclipse in March and solar eclipse in April, please.
Just a minute. Native English speakers distort pronunciation to be rappers. V is speaking s FOREIGN language with muscles trained to Korean. Just as Frencb or Italians always retain their language rhythms and vowels, so must he. Leave him alone.
Once again you have impressed me by taking some controversial subjects, and addressing them with class. Some of the things that you said really resonated with me. As a young teen, I was bullied and given a name because I had very long, thin legs. The boys would bully me every day about this, and my mom told me one day just to start Accepting that name that they gave me. The next day when I was called that name, I accepted it, responded to it, and was never called that name again. So many younger armies needed to hear that! It is absolutely true, I have lived through the very thing That you spoke about. They are wanting to give you a hard time to get a reaction out of you. If you don’t give them one, then they lose interest quickly. Thank you for your great insight!
I am a 72 year old great grandma. I also love BTS. While looking into who the Magnificent Seven are. I foscovered one thing: they don't respond to ignorance, rudeness , or haters. Among other things that I admire about them, I will adopt the same attitude. I am proud of BTS, and I love their 🎶. BTS will do their jobs in the 🪖 with the same professionalsm that they do everything else. 💜 ARMY, remember that RM said we were strong 💪 Borahae!!!
I agree with you 💯
Oh, I enjoy thoughts so much! I often turn to you for a rational. thoughtful take on things. Thank you
Thank You, for this Video, I hope my boys be safe 💜
Amen 🙏💜
YOU ANSWER VERY WELL EFFECTIVELY AND I LOVE THE GAME OF THRONE REFERENCE. THANK YOU AGAIN. I AM SURE YOU HELP SOMEONE. I ALREADY KNOW THESE IT JUST REAFFIRM MYSELF. THANK YOU.
When people are talking bad about you, insulting you or anybody else they primarily aim to hurt so it speaks volume about how THEY suffer from insecurities. It's ok to give an opinion, to even disagree but when they use it to deliberately hurt or damaged someone, it's only to boost their own fragile ego using, like in the present case, their preferred idols. They'll boast about anything to alleviate their pain, could be their country, their school, their sports team, the things they own, it's limitless. Let's wish them Peace 🕊
Thank you💜🇧🇸😊 for your words. Their enlistment is not a brand deal.
when I was an er nurse I did ask if people who spoke mostly a foreign tongue wanted help with English. I also do this with my husband. If someone is open to help I can teach them how to say a word. but as long as we understand each other it really isn't something to act all crazy over.
another pet peeve: protest trucks. just not okay with those.
Thanks
Thank you for standing up for BTS. I personally try not to pay any attention to negative things posted on You Tube especially when directed towards BTS! Maybe that is why I don’t know what “boycott”:you are referring to?? Is this an internet thing or has it been actual news ? Anyway thank you for staying rational and presenting useful information.
Well said. Thank you.
The reason why people ask for your wisdom is because my dear Orange Crush you are always a voice of calm and rationality and an island of common sense in the lunacy of the world we live in! Grateful for you!
💜
Ummm... what Boycott? This is the first time I'm hearing about it and I'm in Chicago. I'm more concerned with their safety in the military and threats from N. Korea and their "allies", than some boycott. I don't think these people realize what BTS is having to face, right now, or what's even really going on, globally. I've been keeping an eye on things. It's Worrying! I'll be so much Happier when they get home, safe and sound. Our prayers should be with their families who must be at their wits' ends, as any parents would be.
Your content is always very informational and enjoy it very much ❤
I appreciate that! Thank you! And I remember you. If there are topics you want me to cover, just let me know.
I also I have trouble understanding Taehyung's English, but he's singing in like his 3rd language. Expecting perfection is unreasonable.
Hay mucha gente que deben pensar que están en un resort o de vacaciones. Ahora están en el momento de dejar a un lado al idol y disfrutar de la persona. En español tenemos un dicho "no ofende quien quiere si no quien puede". Sólo puede ofenderte la persona a la que tú le das ese poder.
Another Filipino quote for haters, envious etc people-
“ Manigas kayo ! “
Always Army Love, Wellness and Blessings to Everyone even the haters! 🙋🏽♀️🤗😍💜✌️🙏🇺🇸👍🏽 #BTSxArmyGlobalDomination #ForeverWithBTS
I'm a non-English speaker. That’s why I didn’t hear the accent V until they started talking about it.
As an American, I feel that I don't have the right to address the war because our country did the same thing to Irag. People tend to forget that because it's their country. Innocent people died no matter whose at fault. That woman who pressured you needs to seek out therapy. She should use the money to help her community instead.
First, I didn't notice V's "poor pronunciation", but I 100% agree with you...."So What"! I think whoever these individuals or groups are that are boycotting and making such critical remarks a) aren't true fans and probably never were, and b) have too much time on their hands. I also agree with you that this war between S. Korea and N. Korea is a serious matter and the "fans" need to stop all this nonsense. Let BTS members serve their time in the military in peace and come back to us Safely! My fear is that the military will change them a lot, as military anywhere has a tendency to do. You know, I just bought a ticket yesterday to Suga's D-Day in theaters. I was the only seat bought for either of the shows (so far). For sure, I was really disappointed that more ARMY aren't going to be there. Now, I'm not in a big city or anything, but still that hurt. Anyway, enough said. Thank you as always for your intelligent, thoughtful commentary.
Sadly there's no rule of learning English...it's English not American English as UK peps say.
Try to speak korean yourselves!!! And do it perfekt!!! that is not many people who have english for their first language, so natural have many problems, so what!!! you understand ju what he sings oder???? I wander who smart you are yourself ??? STOP NAGING!!! 10:01
Thank you. 👏
Well of course BTS' can not pronounce English words like native English speakers, it is not their native tongue. No different that me/us who are not native to the Korean language trying to pronounce some Korean words. The brain and the tongue are not used to it. Why can't HYBE have freedom of choice in who they support? Everyone wants freedom of choice and yet HYBE is not allowed? I does not only apply to some. It is no ones business how BTS serve in their own country. It is BTS' and the military's business ONLY. People need to stay in their own lane. Why focus on being jealous of someone else's career and life and not your own. In the words of RM, "Live your life, man". lol. Some people in this world just have no logic.
🙏🥰🇨🇦
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
All the responses I've seen to Jungkook being an army chef have been positive, and I haven't seen any comparing him to Jimin. I guess I missed the drama. Don't know why you would be upset about what job they got assigned, lol. People have too much free time.
Also, Taehyung's pronunciation is good? What are they talking about? Any excuse to attack your betters I guess.
You' ve been very lucky. There have been stupid comments on other channels. That Jungkook is only fit to wash pots and pans, and how did Jimin get chosen to be at the Fire Direction Centre, as he's too weak. I have explained to these fools that their commanding officers have recognised the areas where their skills would be best suited. Jungkook is a very good cook, and Jimins' academic skills are necessary with the type of work he will be doing and to be quiet.
Im a grandmother who dore bts and taekook that issue about jk for being cook whats wrong its his choice being cook is not bad someday maybe he become chef of his own company or restaurant so many cook success for being cook jk desires and his choice he is happy for being cook and shares his talent for what he can to be a cook go on jk im happy for you 💜💚❤
They need to investigate these boycott threats. HYBE needs to sue these harassment and threatening activities. Korea needs to deport all foreigners who are doing these threats.
Are you on weverse?
Because that can help with reporting.
I hated when Antis/insecure fans spammed Le Sserafim's account - the fandom is still too small and young to be effective - because on member got photographed with a Starbuck's cup at a concert from another artist or when in a BTS vid people pointed out the Starbuck's cups everywhere.
They talk about "eduucating" Idols and that those Idol should "apologize"... to whom?
BTS weverse on the other hand... as soon as you post your comment will be burried a few 100s deep.
But other than X and weverse I have seen some comments on tumblr and a slew of nonsense articles that are very angry on Koreaboo.
The funniest thing is that despite the super high toxicty I have seen no articles to any of it on allkpop - which tells me something interesting.
I only speak english and my pronouncing is awful half the time. Cuz english frankly sucks. His is quiet Fine for a non speaker.
What boycott? What “issues”?
These clowns. Scooter has been evil since before he joined hands with HYBE, why start now?
Right?? Lol
Do I like him?
No.
But that does not make him evil.
That Braun speaks for Israel is not surprising when a quick look tells you he is Jewish and has good reasons to be afraid of the rise in Antisemtism.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@ruthfischer7615 Well. Let’s not get into it but genocide is wrong and being a victim doesn’t justify victimizing others. But let’s leave this debate for some other more appropriate space.
@@HailToTheMeep
Except it is not genocide.
That word has a clear defintion in international/political context.
As horrible as it is - and it is very very very horrible - this is not it despite people on X saying differently - there is a reason why it is not used on the News at all.
Personally I hate the try for emotional manipulation. (Try the video essay on "Dirty PR" on this channel to see what I mean.)
There is real work to be done/help to offer - the campaigning is not helping anyone - but this makes people ignore words and turn them into Buzzwords.
People do not listen to Buzzwords as they have an interpretation of what they mean and people rarely use them the way they were intended - which makes those words more and more useless.
That said:
Donate to organizations like "Doctors without Borders" and I think OneInAnArmy has also a donation link.
The comments over Jungkook being a cook are part of an ongoing attempt to paint him as "less able" than the others, so not worthy of that Golden title. The boycott is part of this same scheme. The war began in October, but the boycott demands started after Jungkook's successful US debut. This wasn't a coincidence. Dirty tricksters know Jungkook is the most maligned member of this group and the most divisive among BTS fans. Taking aim at him, Scooter and Hybe, guaranteed that fans who dislike JK would join the boycott and not be easily dissuaded from using this tactic. Given a green light to attack their least favored member, things became increasingly ugly. If Army, and others, keep believing this is an outside the fandom matter, the malice will continue. Fans of one member will malign another member and his fans, with each party feeling justified in their actions. An untold number of people have left the Army fandom. Expect that number to grow. Most Army call you names if you question their actions, but never listen to the warnings people try to give. In the West, this behavior occurs regularly among popular groups. Fan culture very often leads to the group’s demise. Fans aren’t the only reason, but when fans no longer see themselves as part of “the team,” there’s no incentive to support the group at large. The members will continue to be targets of biased fans and external forces, since there’s an unwillingness to set parameters on the behaviors of those who call themselves Army. BTS hoped to be one of the few groups to “stay together forever.” I sincerely wish them luck with that goal.
I'm a 61 year old grandma ARMY from the USA. I love BTS. Every one of them are kind and caring and have worked extremely hard from a very young age to perfect their craft. Even though they are currently serving in the military they made sure to prepare for their absence by giving us amazing music and content! That being said....V's accent is adorable, and I love to just listen to his voice...its so smooth and calming...... and JK could care less what people think about him cooking....He is going to do what he wants and people should realize that by now.....Jimin's stage presence is cute and sweet, but has an inner strength that people fail to realize ......People are evidently so bored and have nothing better to do with their lives than find fault with others and start ridiculous protests just to draw attention to themselves. Thank you for defending the guys!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I'm also a 61 year old grandma ARMY from the USA. I love BTS. The one thing that I love about these boys are their music and their love for ARMY! Their music helped me when I lost my Mother in 22. I hope to one day go to a concert! Let these guys do their military duty and come back to us soon!
I'm 76 and adore BTS
They're amazing.
Me too. They are fine young men
I have not heard of even 1 boycotts in US?…..
64 years old and have followed them since 2013. I adore each and every one of them.
💜
Hearing that JK is cooking just warmed my heart. 💜 Remembering his lives... he obviously enjoys cooking (he made full meals for just himself). He is good at it (well... to be fair, he's good at pretty much everything). 🤷🏼♀️
V's pronunciation is absolutely adorable; so precious. I don't want to hear a clone mimicking an English speaking singer; I want to hear Tae's authentic voice and tone. This man's voice is heavenly and his beauty is incomparable. Jealous much?
🎤drop
Sweet Jimin: be safe, our brave angel. 😇
💜💪🏻💜
Don't forget he learned from his Huyngs Jin & Suga who are both excellent cooks, not to mention their Run cooking challenges.
I was going to leave my own comment but then read yours. You took the words right out of my mouth! Everything you said is exactly what I was going to say! ❤
@@cathieguillen37 borahae! 💜
I’m a native English speaker and a university graduate who studied English and I don’t find any problems with V’s pronunciation. In singing even native speakers don’t articulate with 100% accuracy, in order to express the emotion or rhythm of the song. As always, I really enjoy your analysis and admire your ability to address issues both rationally and with great empathy. It’s always great to listen to someone who doesn’t see debate as a zero sum game. Thank you.
Peoples are really jobless these days.
Well said! 💜💜💜
Some people were and unfortunately will be always jealous of any of our 7 Bangtan Super Heroes...it's so sad but it's so real!! That's why we, real Army's, must be the Bulletproof for our 7 Angels forever... We have to support all of them and protect them against all these haters and their jealousy...

@@Lovewinsall64 exactly !!! there is absolutely no problem!!!
Those who criticize should listen to English or American rappers... they are incomprehensible
I really like your views of the matter at hand.👍❤
VERY WELL SAID. I agree 💯
MY OPINION:
The boys need to be left alone. Internacional army CANNOT control what goes on in Korea, simple, or a company for that matter. We army ARE FANS, we do not get to tell a CEO who to employ or fire or what to do in their company.
People/army need to understand that we began this journey with BTS because of their music, nothing else. So we don’t get to tell BTS/Hybe what to do or how they should react to world issues. Period.
First off, don't generalize us. Most of us do understand but others are just people frustrated about their own life. And there are still those who are too emotional attached to them and BTS going to the military is like pulling the rug from their feet. I know it comes off as toxic at times, but it's not their fault. If they knew how to control the feeling, they would. I understand your side but I also understand theirs. You shouldn't be so judgemental of international Army. Be open to both sides even if you don't agree with things. Everything has multiple sides. It's only one year. While to some of us is not then of the world, to others that’s what feels like. I was upset at first but we Portuguese have a saying: “Accept it, it hurts less”. So I Accept the the truth. I’m ok with it. Just focusing on my own things while I’m waiting for them.
what happened? I'm being off twitter
since when do consumers' voices not matter? people who buy products often, based on their being customers, express their preferences to companies. not sure what is wrong with this. haven't watched the video, but this is my first reaction to this comment.
@@sc33h3o3 this is crazy thing to say when armytwt crucified the Hybe CEO for calling them "consumers" instead of fans. now they want to be called consumers? pick a side
V and the rest of the BTS members are amazing singing in English, Japanese and Korean. 💜
You're not arrogant, you're perceptive.
JK's cooking skills seem quite excellent, his fellow soldiers should be in for a treat, and if this duty was his choice, it's a very smart one.
V's pronunciation is part of his unique charm...he and Bangtan are talented, hardworking professionals. I love their music, however they choose to deliver it 😉💜😌
(P.S. Some people are just toxic and should be ignored)
Thank you for addressing these issues with practical advice re how to deal with unreasonable requests and name calling bullies. Also, Taehyung’s English keeps getting better and better. I am continually amazed at his dedication to keep working on it.
💜 I love your very common sense approach to these topics. I have such respect for the effort BTS and V have made to sing and speak in English no matter the pronunciation it’s a 1000 times better then I could pronounce Korean! I have such respect for anyone learning a second language no matter there skill level.
Selective outrage is problematic...
Recently, I saw a comment that JK was cooking like a girl. I was surprised to hear that comment. There are many male chefs/cooks in this world. I think the military tries to match skills and interests of soldiers when assigning them. Jk said he likes to learn new things and he is good at cooking. It would not surprise me if he doesn’t open a restaurant or have a cooking show after getting out of the military. I'm very proud of all of the 7 brothers. All of the guys work very hard at learning English and I am honored to hear them speak. I wish I could do half as well speaking Korean . (I’ve been studying for 2 years).
I don’t understand sending trucks to Hybe. It seems that money could be spent helping the needs of the community where these people live. The acts are not going to change Hybe's decisions. I'm sorry that you got such a hateful response when dealing with the person who asked you to participate with the protest. You handled it so well. I will remember that. Thank you so much for addressing these topics.
Most chefs are men. My father was one. Most top chefs are men. How is cooking a woman's job? 😂😂😂😂😂
Look how many cooks are men, famous and well paid. Jaime Oliver, James Martin and Ainsley Herriot.
“Cooking like a girl” should be a compliment. All of our mothers and grandmas cook and nourish their families so most of the cooks in the world are women. 👏💁🏻♀️But it seems all the famous chefs including in Korea are men. Hmmmm. All the Mom cooks are more important!! 👵🏻💜
Personally? About the trucks?
I think it is - at least sometimes - a scam.
Sidle up next to insecure solos/young insecure fans and tell them X is misstreated/Y is damaging X chance/reputation and you have to do something about it. Suggest a truck than you know how to hire - collect money - set a goal higher than needed and you can do it again.
I found that time where the trucks vaguly refered to treat a member better without saying which one highly entertaining:
Did the hirerer goad multiple solo groups into paying?
As far as I can tell the trucks actually archieve nothing.
You are absolutly right:
Donating the money to organizations like "Doctors without Borders" or the OneInAnArmy Donation drive for "Palestine" is far more helpful.
Trying to change the "Bord of Directors" of an International company because you do not "like" them is ridiculous - it's not a popularity contest.
(In this case it also feeds into Antisemitic/world conspiracies that can lead to very dangerous things while not even actively helping anyone)
@@ruthfischer7615 True that 👏👏👏
As an American and native English speaker, I rarely have trouble understanding what Tae is saying in his songs. He does have a thick Korean accent but I think it gives his music this unique Konglish vibe that I find quite charming and appealing to the ears. BTS didn't become worldwide superstars and record-smashers by completely conforming to everyone's expectations and being perceived as "perfect". I hope they never lose their distinctive and special sound.
I love accents on English song from foreign singers! Adds a flare!
Thank you. I really love your channel because you have intelligent things to say. I get so tired of gossip channels or the kind that just recycle old or only sensational information that may or may not be true. You make people think.
Very well said! regards from Vienna, austria😊
Hey! Jung CAN cook!!! I’m not surprised in the least, because he enjoys it a lot and he’s good at it. He himself said that one thing he is not good at is concentrating on things he isn’t interested in, so why should he spend his military service torturing himself doing something that “looks good on paper” and “sounds impressive” but is boring or unfulfilling. He will gain lots of new skills to add to what he has already acquired; he may want to be a restaurant owner in the future, who knows? At any rate I’m like you, let them do their service in peace, doing things they are good at or that interests them, and come back healthy and well.💜
And really, there are PLENTY of native-born English speakers that have trash pronunciation!😂 Singing or speaking!
V sounds GREAT and I’m incredibly proud of all of them. His song is fantastic, and jealous haters are just going to find a reason to hate; even when the reason is no reason at all!
Thank you 💜 I have seen all the stuff going on Social Media, especially X/Twitter, and if I see a negative post, I just block and move on. I don't care for negativity, and I think it's ridiculous that people are boycotting HYBE. Thank you for covering this. I do realize that BTS get a lot of hate, and I don't think that is going to stop anytime soon. We just need to put out twice as much positivity and love to drown out all the hate.
what happened on twitter?
@@nanamishita9048 Just the issues that she covered. A lot of negativity, solo stans, anti's hating on BTS as usual. It just seems like more lately.
Facts...Thank you. It is so sad that you even have to do this.
As for the Boycott, most people have no idea of the history of the Middle East. That being said, we need to leave the politics out of HYBE. Their artists are about music. We need to just stop.
As for V I thought he did an excellent job with his English and I'm proud of him doing a song in English.
I'm happy that JK is cooking, I know he does love cooking. He's where he wants to be. Jimin is doing what he wants to do. I wish certain Army would stop comparing each other. They are all different individuals. Just love them, wish they are safe and stay happy and healthy until June 2025.
If I may ask, what's the issue about Jimin? I'm not an X person it makes me feel bad whenever I visit that soc med.
Thank you so much for this video 🙏 It's unbelievable the kinds of "Flex" people are using as bragging rights. Let's focus on what's important and spread positivity.
Fun Fact: *YOU* are in full control of what you consume online. Choose wisely 💜
I'm shocked they are doing that to V such childish behaviour, do they expect him to have perfect English and do they want him to sound like an American or a Brit or a Aussie or a South African as English is the national Language of all those countries and many more and they all sound and different have some variations in the way they say certain words. His English is easy to understand the fact that he's even trying to communicate in a language that's not his own native tongue is something most people wouldn't even attempt to do. Can't they give praise for that at least. I understand a number of languages but I don't find it easy to speak them but never has anyone got all upperty because I have difficulties when communicating in another language. Some people really do need to re evaluate their own lives first. There are too many people out there who will nitpick at anyone they don't like rather than move on. I feel sorry for them as they are clearly unhappy people with nothing better to do.
Loved that you came out swinging! All this mud slinging is so petty, frivolous and self-serving. We absolutely don’t have to give it any heed!
V's English is so cute! V's fine, people should leave him alone. I agree, I just block haters without comment. The reason Americans' are so against Scooter is because of his buying Swifts catalog without giving her a chance to buy it herself. He is not to be trusted, but hated, or go after Hybe because of him is ridiculous. BTS are smart guys, let it be.
I don’t understand these people who wait to criticise someone for no reason at all! I don’t see any problem with V’s English pronunciation!!
I saw this quote that struck a nerve with me: You speak English because it's the only language you know. I speak English because it's the only language you know. Anyway, arguing about accents is ridiculous. I understand what he's singing, his accent is charming, end of story.
As for being a cook, it's hard physical work! I admire anybody who can work in a professional kitchen. I just wish for the guys to get through this period in their lives and be able to go back to their private lives healthy and happy. That's it.
I found all these gripes kinda ridiculous. I agree with you on everything you said - Tae’s English - who cares, JK is a cook - I’m sure he’s great at it as always, just let him be safe, I’m more worried about NK trying to kill them then what they do day to day for their job!- boycotting Hybe? I don’t have the mental energy here in the States - we have a terrible mess here with a certain party and their criminal orange leader that we need to worry about- just don’t have time or energy to protest about a music company. So yeah….
🤭 Allow me to LoL at your "orange leader" 😅 Jimmy Kimmel asked him a pertinent Q: Isn't it way past your jail time? 💀
Who wouldn't want a guy who can cook ?. Only a fool wouldn't. Well done Jungkook.👏👏
Agreed Agreed Agreed Agreed with everything you said.
I honestly think V's english has improved a lot. Most if not all of them have. Kudos to them
This nonsense about Taehyung's English pronunciation is a clear example of the saying, "repeat a lie enough, and people will start to believe it". There's nothing wrong with Taehyung's pronunciation. This is probably the fourth or fifth language I've heard him speak, and most of the criticism I see is coming from people who actually can't speak English properly, and I'm speaking as an American whose primary language is English and who has lived in many countries. Let's not give credence to people whose only motive seems to be to hate. Personally, I'm immensely proud of Taehyung; in fact, I'm proud of all seven BTS members. They deserve it.
Yes he's doing his duty.
Thank you for always being so positive. Love your channel 🥰🥰🥰
Amen to that sister some people need to take a look into their own lives and where they are before spurting hate at someone like yourself. They need prayer.
There were English-speaking people who listened to FRI(END)S and they really liked it. They were just vibing with the song, the melody and harmonies which V showcased; they didn't even turn the subs on. They were actually so proud of V for using full English in the lyrics; they even expressed their heartfelt thanks to V for making the song in English because it made them easy to understand and feel the song. What I'm trying to share is that not all songs can be expressed well in Korean, and FRI(END)S is not an exception. With its simple lyrics, it is best be written and sung in English than in Korean. Also, I don't see any wrong with V's enunciation and pronunciation, they went well with his low tone and soft vibe. My mom has been tutoring a few Korean students... same students... for 2 years now and she really feels sad because some of them still struggle pronouncing some words because of the missing sounds both in Korean and English. Mom said Korean and English are worlds apart.
Haters just don’t stop, do they. It’s rather ironic that they are so quick to criticize and pick on things that are so irrelevant nor important. If they turn all the hate and malice into being just normal and decent human beings they would accomplish so much more in life. There is nothing better than having peace and contentment in life but you can’t have those things if your purpose is to create chaos and drama. A momentary satisfaction can never compare to a lifetime of peace. I will always support and love BTS.
Thank you for maturely addressing the immaturity of some BTS fans. Most “sensational” headlines are blown out of proportion either by people seeking attention or by people too immature to think for themselves.
I really appreciate your research work and your interrsting comments! please keep up the great and professional work. Best regards from a Silver Army in Vienna, Austria ❤
Will it ever end? V’s English pronunciation goes well with the smooth song. I understood every word. Small concern ppl would hate all English. I’m impressed.
In Malaysia we talk Manglish... Malaysian style of Englisjh n we are popular fr it... Singaporean talk Singlish.. Singapore kind of English... Becoz as long ad two parties understand each other, that's language.. You dnt need yo to be 100% perfect... Even English people dont talk good English..
Those that complain about V's English pronunciation are most likely monolingual. But for the rest of the world, most are at least bilingual. In V's case, I think his pronunciation is just fine. He doesn't need to sound like a native speaker.
People who complain about Korean artist's English in songs is xenophobic, whether they know it or not. Even English speaking artists don't always enunciate perfectly. In fact, I would say they rarely do. This is the most petty complaint in existence.

Actually jk's work is much more labour intensive than any of his band mates...there are more than 4 billion people that speak English..but there is only v that can make music that touches our souls and makes us happy ❤❤❤❤...I am just amused by the irony of their duties after enlistment no exception... Let me explain...the two scaredy babies of the team are instructors...the RM the brain is in marching band ...the most pampered baby bear cub is in a special unit ....and the adrenaline junkie is stuck in the kitchen... And the baby mochi is directing fire in artelery 😂😂😂😂😂 talk about mismatch...but that aside they are all making us so so proud to be an army...I just want them to come back happy healthy and safe ... BTW just saying but friends is fing addictive...i have been listening on loop but damn if it hasn't turned into a earbug😂😂😂 although its been happening for years but i think it has intensified with their solo releases....like letter from face ....standing next to you...golden slow dancing from layover ....lonely from indigo ... astronaut and people part 2 from d day and now friends...i am getting ready to get committed coz there are driving me crazy......BTS forever ❤❤❤❤
Frankly, I’m happy JK is in the kitchen and not out in the field. I just hope Jimin’s job keeps him out of harm’s way as well. As for all these various protests and boycotts, it’s just people making mountains out of molehills and should he ignored. I’m thinking Seoul should pass a city ordinance against these trucks citing them as nuisances.
