ARMY can tell when someone is reacting just for likes and subs and who is authentic. You sir are authentic to me and I'm loving your journey! Welcome to our family!
I'm usually more of a silent lurker than a commenter but I just have to say that I watch a lot of bts reaction videos and yours are such a breath of fresh air! It is so difficult to find people who do genuine reactions recently so I'm very glad I found you. I love following people's bts journeys from the beginning since everyone's is a bit different and I'm very excited to see how deep into the rabbit hole you'll fall. Also, love the energy!!
Hi Randalieren! You feel free so be as silent as you please! You do you, boo! ♥️ I am glad you’re here, and I hope you’re comfortable because we’re gonna be here a while. 😊
That’s so funny I was just telling my friend about this channel & that I had commented more on these 3 reaction videos than all others combined ever. 💜
In a lot of their earlier dance practices its usually JK wearing the timberlands , Jimin and RM on occasion as well. There are dance practices that are just fun vibes they do their moves but they goof off and then there are straight out full on practices, the goofing off ones are so much fun. Like others have said yes they have a main choreographer , but Jhope helps out with teaching because he is the main dancer and dance leader and he also adds moves of his own sometimes. Jhope is amazing he knows absolutely where each and every member needs to be in every song and they joke about when they mess up they don't want to look at jhope because he would always know and just stare at them. The one you were wondering if he was a break dancer, yes he did do some in middle school he learned pop and lock and was very good, but he moved to contemporary dance in high school when he attended a dance academy , when you get to the see more of the dancing you will see Jimin in his element for sure. There are going to be people out there who are going to criticize new reactors who start reacting to BTS and thats no fair you are not the only who has addressed this. I'd say 99% are genuine wanting to learn and the 1% you can tell they don't care so just do you and we will be here helping you along the way. I really enjoy your open mindness and enthusiasm so thanks for that, ill stop now ive blabbed too long lol.
The guy you called a "breaker" is Jimin. He did do Pop Lock dancing, but he specializes in Contemporary dance and attended an arts high school. He was the top student in the Modern Dance Department.
Jimin is the most MJ-like, you've already picked him out in 2 videos 😄, AND he's the one I said sounds like MJ in Tony Montana. He just might be your bias wrecker 😅😅😅 The Jimin effect is already taking hold of you .. 😂😂💜💜💜
One of the things I’ve come to notice about Jimin’s dancing that sets him apart is the way he takes all his moves right to the fingertips. No body movements with loose hands for him. I imagine this is yhe result of his formal dance training. And yes, his movements are smooth but very ‘sharp’ and controlled.
They have an in house choreographer that has been with them since the beginning (Son Sungdeuk) and he's also their performance director I believe. They also work with other choreographers like for this song his name is "Keone Madrid" and many others as the years go by. Also as the dance leader J-hope has a heavy hand in their choreo when it comes to performances, he tells them how hard they should go and changes up the formations based on the event and the stage. The guys truly respect him as a dancer and take his words seriously, if J-hope said you did a good job, you did a bloody good job. He's the one you pointed out for facial expressions, if you're looking for theatrics and expressions during performances def look for V and J-hope they'll give it to you and more!! In Korea masks are a part of hygiene culture even before the pandemic and for keeping anonymity, so in alot of K-pop videos you'll see the backup dancers wearing some form of face covering. you're going to freak for the Dionysus dance practice and the Not Today dance practice, easily in my Top 5.💜💜
Face coverings for the BTS backup dancers are common - it helps keep the focus on the members of BTS. Even if BTS is wearing clothing similar to the dancers, they'll still stand out and not get lost in the crowd if they're the only ones with faces showing The pop & lock sharp dancer is Jimin. He came to BTS as the only member with extensive formal dance training - probably already had 6 years of study under his belt by the time he joined in early 2013, primarily in contemporary dance but also had learned pop/locking. RM was born in 9/1994, so he was only 21 when 'Fire' was released With all their hard breathing at the end, it's even more amazing that they do these dances live *while also singing the song* Your authenticity shines thru, never fear. ARMYs are pretty sharp at spotting a numbers-chaser. They aren't as great at acting as they think, and will be over-the-top flattering to BTS in just the first 10 seconds of a video - I feel embarrassed for them and quickly move on
Yes! I about died when you got so jacked when V turned the camera lol! Their dance practices go hard every time! You think the foot stomping was something in this one wait until you watch the Not today dance practice! They were stomping so hard it made the camera move from across the gymnasium they were filming it in 😂. Also glad you noticed the relation between the beat saber motions and the dance moves and I think you’ll notice it in other songs as well. Since several people have already mentioned in detail Son Song-deuk (in house choreographer) as well as Jimin’s contemporary dance and J-hope’s street dance, there’s not much more to add yet. That being said though, you’re absolutely right regarding the difference between googling the info opposed to asking us…asking us will definitely give you more detailed insight from various aspects. Lastly, I’d like to see anyone say you are reacting to BTS for the views! Being one of the people who reacted to your first BTS beat saber video (and every one after that 😂) I was wholeheartedly on board with other ARMY urging you to react to BTS. Your reactions are gold my friend and I look forward to every single one of them!
You had me sold when you said "I could google all this but that's not fun" 😂 Loved your reaction and how excited you got. So many people who "react" to BTS just sit there not even nodding their heads and how they can sit so still during a song like Fire, Dope or On I'll never understand. I'm now subscribed and look forward to more of your reactions and watching you get to know the boys 💜💜💜
Thank you, L W! I’m glad this seems to be as fun for others as it is for me. A ride like this should be enjoyed as a family. It’s too good to ride solo.
Yes they have a separate choreographer, and he's such an awesome man. He has been with BTS since day one, and never abandoned them even through hard times. He has a little son now and presented him to the BTS members, a very short but super sweet moment 💜
Let me just add that this amazing man, Son Sungdeuk, the resident/ in-house choreographer is also their performance director. So he does not just choreograph, but also has a hand on stages, formations, etc. And boy.. Those stages are really, reaally, reaaaaaallly, god-tier. Im still reeling from their latest Black Swan stage in the Permission to Dance Concert. Eniwei.. There are still instances when they would actually seek out choreographers outside Big Hit. IF i remember correctly, Keone Madrid was also one of the choreogrphers for Fire. But I think the in-house choreographer and these "cats" ( i love it when you call BTS cats), would still have the final say on what they put out. In future vids, you will see how hard they work and how they would often put their own touches in their performances.
@@bitemegenesis So true, loved this comments. Keone did do this one. Their choreo is some of the hardest in Kpop. I know Best Saber has limited songs from them. I highly recommend Danger dance practice, one of the best choreo from them in their early days.
Haha, I had so much fun watching along with you.😁 That's what I need from a reaction - genuine enjoyment, curiosity and interesting thoughts on what you've just seen. Thank you for addressing the comments you got regarding the way BTS express their love for each other. In addition to a more expressive Korean culture, they also started out sharing one bathroom and sleeping in 7 bunk-beds, so they have no barriers with each other anymore and by the stars how we enjoy seeing them express that.💜 But as you said, ARMY men and women have had many run-ins with toxic masculinity and we tend to be careful with our trust. You don't seem like a man who'd crack a racist, homophobic, sexist or ageist joke for entertainment value, though, so I think you'll do just fine.😊 Eventually, as usual 😑, some people might turn up and try to control you - either through mean messages or passive-agressive comments. Or lies that suit their agendas as solo-fans or antis. If it happens, just bring it out in the light and talk about it. You seem like a man who can shrug it off, but you don't have to sit with alone - we are here for the journey with you.😊 Watching people discover BTS is like falling in love again by proxy and we will help you to the best of our ability to ensure it's fun and wonderful. 💜 You do you. It's one of BTS's key messages and an ARMY value. But ARMY are demanding in our enthusiasm, so don't let us pressure you too much, hehe.😂 Oh, and we might get into heated debates in the comment section about theories, who said what when etc. but please don't mind. ARMY are loud. Very loud. 🤣
This comment! 👍 Just use common sense, not everyone who comments might come from a good place or with good intentions and it's always good to not only listen to us Army but explore, read and think by yourself.
"IS MY BOY WEARING CHUCK TAYLORS? We just talked about this!" omg I laughed so hard! Their in-house choreographer has always been a man named Son Sungdeuk, and at some point he was promoted to their overall performance director. They also work with other chorographers. Several of the members love dancer Brian Puspos and have made videos covering his choreo just for fun, and he's now choreographed several official BTS dances, one of which was Jungkook's solo song called My Time. Puspos has shared that he was hired to create the choreo for the song but when he saw the live performance, only parts of his choreo made it into the final. Later Jungkook also revealed he'd choregraphed some of it himself. The way Puspos described it, it sounds like that must be common for the artists to hire a choreo and then just use it as a base to further develop in-house.
YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD REACTOR. YOU LISTEN AND READ THE COMMENTS. I MIGHT CRY. Thats all. You are such a rare breed. I really hope you fall so hard down this rabbit hole.....I will be here the whole way. 💜 Welcome to BTS. Welcome to ARMY. 💜
You’re ending comment of “Help me be better” “Let’s do this together” is exactly what BTS & ARMY is all about. Personal growth together through positive vibes good 🎵 & 💜
They performed this live in LA Dec 1st when I was there for the concert, such amazing performers! Son Sung-Deuk is their main choreographer, J Hope is dance leader, he will often learns moves 1st and helps the others and he contributed his own dances often as well. (I think you were pointing at him when you said look at this guy they love this or whatever) And they often wear chuck Taylors, doc martens also. I love hearing their shoes stomp in practice it just adds to it. Can't wait til this weekend when you do a documentary about them! "You nice, keep going!" (Quote from BTS Jimin ) 💜 Borahae 💜
Jimin is in the red hat that you pointed out. (Other red hat was V) he trained in popping and locking etc in middle school and went to a performing arts high school where he was the top student in modern contemporary dance. Also, trust me ARMYs can tell the fake reactors. I for 1 believe you're genuine.
I was there too 12/1. Hard to get across what an amazing experience. Not only the concert but 50,000 plus of the best Fandom of every type of human from everywhere made the whole day and night best vibe ever.
Roscoe, you geeking out to these guys makes my day. And, yes, this is how a lot of us feel about all their dance practices! I’m sure people in the comments have already told you about Son Sun Duk. (I think my spelling is wrong). He has been with the boys since the beginning. Imagine, not all of these guys are trained dancers - and they kill everything. Glad I’m along for the ride with you.
Hahahahahaha, sorry I just laughed at your "sure my spelling is wrong" because even Lee Hyun (Hyunie) got it wrong and they know each other as 83 liners X_D
Yup *we* are out of breath .. from *watching you* 😁 Giving a whole new meaning to _armchair exercise_ 😂 Grinning from ear-to-ear, so enjoyed your questions, excitement and discovery of the Dance Practice Room .... now time for a 🍺
20:17 you’re the best reaction channel to bts out there and there are many of them. I said it on your first episode, it’s raw enthusiasm and excitement from you which just makes it so good to watch because everyone here watching this video feels the same way about bts. Keep on doing you thing! Real Army loves you!💜
You’re doing great at being very understanding, open-minded, and respectful to their culture. The fact that you understand this already means you’re already checking yourself before we do and it means you’re less likely to offend or say anything insensitive. So thank you.
Hi my dear , I'm 67 years old Peruvian Army of course, I enjoy your reactions, thanks you so much for your respect to BTS, they are so talented, truly artists, welcome to the BTS rabbit, you are not alone, Army is with you, BORAHAE 😍😍😍😍💜💜💜💜💜
It’s been a while since I’ve found a genuine reactor to BTS who actually enjoys them. You, sir, are a breath of fresh air, and your videos take me back to when I first got into BTS. Thank you for sharing your journey with us
I loved hearing that you thought the beat saber movements are similar to the choreo, I thought so too. RM (your guy) would have been 21 international age (Korean age is different, they say you are 1 year old when born and you add a year to your age every January 1st, so RM would have been considered 23 in Korea at this time) Don’t worry you come off very genuine, if anyone tells you otherwise that person is a hater. On the subject of culture I think is the answer to your “is there a symbol behind all the backup dancers wearing masks?” In Asia pre-pandemic it was very common to see people wearing face masks in their everyday life, either they were sick or the smog from the cities made it hard to breath. So no I don’t think there was a specific symbol behind the masks but that does not mean there isn’t one and we just haven’t figured it out yet.
@@ThisRoscoe often times, they have backup dancers wear masks for privacy sake. But it’s fairly common for people to wear masks 😷 Also: I think this dance studio was still under construction 😅 so that may have played a part in it.
Since you're passionate about filmography and digging their dancing, here's some BTS content and history you'll appreciate: Jan 2015 they released this killer dance video called "가요대제전 Intro performance Trailer," where they dance to a rock medley that includes Limp Bizkit. th-cam.com/video/S1Up-ZzHmuw/w-d-xo.html. This video was actually a clapback to some shady business when they performed this live the week before. Korea had been dominated by 3 entertainment agencies (nicknamed "the big 3") for years and held major sway with TV networks and music shows. BTS's company was tiny but their success made them a threat. BTS performed this dance number on a 2014 New Year's Eve music show as part of a dance battle against a popular group from a Big 3, and the camera work was absolute crap for BTS, clearly meant to undermine their performance since the other group was filmed fine. A week later, Big Hit releases their own filmed version. The kicker is that it opens with "VERY GOOD CAMERA" on screen, proceeding to show a dynamic multi-cam recording as if it's a music video, a great example of the quality BTS and Big Hit are known for. THEN they play the dance again prefaced with "GOOD CAMERA," this time showing it from just a single steady-cam mounted high to take it all in, no frills, but still captures the full choreo well, basically saying the music show could have literally put forth NO EFFORT and it would have been better than their garbage. Then they play the dance AGAIN, prefaced with the words DO YOU WANT MORE? followed by a dynamic zoomed-in single-cam version focusing just on the 7 BTS members instead of the full stage of backup dancers. (I believe one of the complaints against BTS at the time was that their performance battle wasn't fair because they had backup dancers but the other group had none.) I might be wrong, but I think this is one of the few times their company every publicly pushed back like this. This type of mistreatment from the Korean music industry against BTS is just one of many examples of what they faced for years as they fought to rise. If you want to see the original bad camera work at the music show, here yo go (this also includes a performance of their song Danger afterward) th-cam.com/video/kWuNi-OLLgU/w-d-xo.html,
Ahhh yes, this was such a highlight of BH’s passive aggressiveness. BTS were so young back then, about 18 months into their career. I too would love to see Roscoe go over their 2014 MBC Dejejun performance & then compare it to the intro performance trailer. Thanks for providing the links!
Yes Please!! First the performance and then the Performance trailer, its so Good!! Or the other way round and it will blow your mind what they did to an awesome dance. You do you Roscoe, I'm looking forward to all the discoveries vicariously with you and loving your excitement! 💜
I just wanna tell you that my cat jumped all the way to the ceiling when you screamed at 17:39 😂😂😅 You're gonna get answers from everybody, so I'm gonna skip that and tell you after today's reaction, I think it's too late for you, you're gonna be an army for life! 😄 I saw the literal 🔥 in your eyes and your mind just 🤯🤯🤯 by our boys, Army lives for those moments! 💥💯💥 Don't change a damn thing! Just loving it! 👏👏👏💥💯💥💜💜
I literally got chills when the camera moved and with the appearance of all the dancers. I have seen this many times but I think your reaction was so genuine that it added to my response. We love seeing others discover BTS and really appreciate their art. I think it is wonderful for your channel to grow and reach success. All you have to do is find what you really enjoy within our world and remain genuine as you have already been. Hit Man Bang guided our young men to just stay genuine and that they have. This is just one reason we love BTS. They are genuine also humble, hard working, funny, smart, loving, generous, kind, and talented. 💜
Your reaction to the camera swing was priceless!!! Seeing your joy in discovery reminds me that we were all newbies and started at the same place. I remember that thrill and excitement. Thank you. 💜💜 Gigi
Oh, Roscoe, you are making this so much fun! This was a great way to spend my lunch break today. So glad you're still enjoying the gents and the ARMY family. As you saw here, BTS is always coming up with ways to be extra. I want to let that inspire me where my own life is concerned. Thanks for letting us be part of your journey. We're having a blast right along with you!
😍Roscoe! Great reaction!🔥🔥 RM is just that guy! He is also my bias.😁 OT7 with RM bias is how I look at it.😊 He was around 23(International) when that dance practice was posted 2017. He was 19 when they debuted 2013. And yes Korean society is/can be a lot more touchy feely with close male relationships but they also have their own stereotypical views on what is manly.🤷🏾♀️ You attracted ARMY by being Roscoe and we noticed genuine kind wild spirit. Just be aware that some that say they are ARMY may not be, antis/anti fans and single member fans(like only one member) can be and are uber negative which gives us a bad name and rep. We aren't perfect but we work on being as positive and up lifting as possible so that we attract more positive people to ARMY.🙂 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
So cool that you pointed out Jimin’s dancing. You are totally right he followed popping lessons back in the day (also many other styles). I feel like the amount of detail you’re noticing in their movements shows that you have a lot of potential to be a great dancer as well. Looking forward to the next one! 🙌🏼 Also please keep doing you, I love your approach to this regarding the culture and your energy and excitement is really contagious! 💜
Been watching you more recent videos lately and went back to watch your older reactions because I was curious how it started. I went back because of the genuine joy that is present in your videos and I'm glad to see that it has always been there, such a comforting watch, truly. Love the way you do things
dude you are such good vibes. I'm watching you and i'm like youre the kind of person i need to be surrounding myself with haha. So fun, real, free, and just good vibes.
I am LIVING for your reactions!! Seriously, with only 3 episodes in, you are already becoming one of my favorite reactors! You are so genuine and enthusiastic, it seriously feels like I am watching all of this for the first time again. I am truly happy that you are enjoying their content so much! Can’t wait for more! Thank you! 💜💜
Roscoe, you getting extra excited at the dance break/camera switch is priceless!! I think all ARMY acted the same way when we all saw that for the first time....as a matter of fact, we all STILL get that excited when we see it over and over again! Fighting!!! 😎💜👍🏆
This is the earliest I have seen a reactor have a clear bias but hey that's our worldwide leader! Love your reactions and can't wait to see how you enjoy the rabbit hole!
......THIS !!....I'm dreaming of living to be present live in 2025 or 6, to witness live in person my 7 'grandsons by another mother & father' lol. My honest love I feel for these special 7 young men is a testament to the awesome, energizing, joy producing, limitless ppwer of love... Love transcends languages, boundaries, nationalities, skin colors, genders/gender identities, stereotypes, prejudices, financial standings, age differences...Love transcends all & is the answer to every problem our world has or ever has had.
That's what they do - they always go an extra mile, since their debut days till now. Such simple but sincere things like Yoongi (SUGA) making a lot of small birthday gift packages to give to fans when they were having a fan meeting back in their early days and it was his birthday that day, to this day when they recently had their 4 sold out nights in SoFi stadium and made sure ARMYs had water in long lines for merch, cause it was hot in LA in the middle of the day. Never forgetting to thank ARMY when they win something, always including us with each achievement and cheering for us when times are hard. It's the both sided cheering for me, ARMY cheers for BTS, but BTS also cheers for ARMY to succeed in life, to be happy and healthy, every single day. That's what makes this community so amazing and feels like family 💜💜💜
As someone else who adores RM for his presence, you're so going to enjoy watching the U.N. speeches when you get to them. I also want to be RM when I grow up (46 here). I also recommend watching, after you know them better, some of the compilations of RM breaking things, he's our leader and we love him, but he's dangerous!
@@ThisRoscoe He is very affectionately known as the God of Destruction. He tends to be a little clumsy, and maybe doesn't quite know his own strength. That is until he is holding a tiny animal, like a crab, then he is the most gentle person on earth.
Jimin attended a dance academy where he learned popping, locking, boogaloo etc. He was so good that at some point his teacher waved the tuition fees. Later on Jimin attended the arts school where he entered as and was a top student. He is specialized in contemporary/modern ballet but also learned traditional Korean dances. Jimin is also trained in martial arts (black belt in Taekwondo, knows Hapkido, and a few other). So his dancing incorporate all these various styles and skills which makes him a unique dancer dancer in my opinion. J-Hope has been a street dancer so he has those amazing urban hip hop moves, locking popping. And JK is a fantastic mix of them both. Like taking the best of everything. When 3J (JK, Jimin, JHope) come together as a dance unit, it is magic and breathtaking. They did a dance break to Butter for the rap part of Megan Thee Stallion. It was just 🤌🤌
Pack a lunch for this rabbit hole Roscoe! Don’t beat yourself up about their names when you get them you’ll get them but it’s hard when you’re getting into them now because going back they all change their hair colors to different colors at different times and every color of the rainbow but you’ll get it and we won’t hold that against you I promise
I love your genuine enthousiasm because I feel the same and I can vibe with you !!! i keep on saying "I knooooow riiiight !!!!" everytime you say something or you react to something !!! And don't worry we can feel you are not acting, we are used to people over reacting and it's really different, it's just your personality and it's so cool I lvoe to see it !!! Can"t wait to see more of your reactions !!!!!
Son SungDeuk!!!!! The most epic of all choreographers. He also used to dance back when they didn’t have much. He stayed with them and eventually became their performance director. He’s family. He even brings his son to the studio sometimes. He was a mentor on I-Land and helped choose the enhypen members. My favorite performance he directed and choreographed was for TxT’s Yeonjun. He was artist of the month on a dance channel and omg the performance was legendary. (enhypen and txt are the BTS little brother groups.) J-Hope is their dance leader. He helps choreo, he cleans up routines and makes sure each member is doing it perfectly, and he spends time teaching them. They’re always working on being better. I cannot wait until you see On. Omg. It is perfection. Anyway, Jimin and J-Hope are main dancers. They’re equally talented, but in totally different styles. Sometimes Jimin shines, sometimes it’s Hobi, but they’re always sooooooo good. The masks are normal in Asian countries lol. I grew up wearing one because of pollution and germs and hygiene. When Americans started having to wear them and they were complaining, I just laughed because I already had a collection of cute masks, knew all the makeup tricks, and I felt like I was finally the normal one 😂😂
Most of the Kpop groups are really great dancers but what's amazing about BTS is half of them learned dancing in their early 20's and most of the BTS dances are one of the hardest in whole kpop industry... This proves how much they must have practiced dancing... 😅😅😅
I bang my head right along with you! I'm 55, I was a teen in the 80s & that's what we did. Also, ARMY knows when someone is doing BTS reactions just for the views, and, you my friend, are totally genuine. Love the reactions, loved your bonus end at this reaction. Keep it up 💜
You are definitely 100% genuine and I love how you are now doing reactions! I also like your insight on technical things. Enjoying your videos from the very first beat saber upload.
Dude we know who’s authentically enjoying the boys , you are fully already Army without knowing it yet. Nobody thinks you’re not genuine . This is giving me life
Roscoe, I am definitely your biggest fan. So pleased that you chose to do this one. 🥰🥰🤗🤗 Jimin, the one you noticed with the red cap and the Tims, he actually specialised in contemporary dance, (you'll die when you see his performance on MMA 2019), but he did learn street dance as well. He is also a very skilled martial artist, with a black belt in Taekwondo, and experience in many other disciplines as well, it shows in his dance in the control, the core strength. You'll see.
Your energy is so infectious! I can't help but get hyped alongside you even if I've seen this dance practice 50 times by this point! 7:13 - Yes, BTS has worked with a number of well-known choreographers in the global dance community but they primarily work with their in-house choreographer Son Sungdeuk. He is Big Hit Entertainment’s performance director, and he has been with BTS since the very beginning of the band's career. This was so much to watch; honestly, I have the biggest smile on my face watching you enjoy yourself! I love it and I can't for more! 💜
also pointing out Jimin, he never half asses it when he dances, also hat Jimin be dancing dancing, whenever you see him dancing with his hat all low, just prepare yourself. Although Jimin has experience in hip hop dance he has a major foundation in contemporary dance and a little ballet. That's my bias and he's part of the dance line in the group and the dance subunit 3J.
They are so touchy because they love each other like if they were family. Western culture is not used to that, Mexican culture, I'm mexican, is not at all use to it but for me their interaction is beautiful. And I love them as my family.
Son Sung-deuk has been the BigHit/HYBE Performance Director and main choreographer for BTS (Danger, We are Bulletproof pt2, &dozens of others)... he's been there since the beginning and set the standard very high.... Jimin is a trained contemporary/modern dancer, and helps in that mode. Jungkook is a human sponge and absorbed so much dance expertise, so he helps too. J-hope was a street dancer and a great teacher. He often helps with choreo development and learns it 1st and helps others learn it... Other choreographers include : Keone & Mari Madrid (Fire; Dope; Not Today); Sienna Lalau (ON; Chicken Noodle Soup; Dionysus); Brian Puspos (Serendipity; Butterfly); Rie Hata (MIC Drop; Anpanman; Airplane Pt. 2; David Lim (Boy in Luv); Dylan Mayoral (Boy Meets Evil) there are also many others. The () does not show all the songs they choreographed and often there are more than 1 choreographer on some songs.
I’m so pleased you’re waiting to do the MMAs until after you hear the songs. I don’t know why people recommend those early on. They’re obviously going to be so much more interesting and enjoyable if you know the songs being performed. Good decision! 👍👏
Not sure if this is true but I read in comments somewhere that some members wear boots to dance practices because they are heavy it makes them lighter on their feet for the actual performance. I have not seen that from an official source but it made sense to me.
BTS’ in-house (BigHit Music) choreographer is Son Sundeuk, who has been their performance director from the beginning. He has mentored them into their distinctive style of tightly synchronised dancing, combined with looser freestyling moments. Their dance leader is actually Award-winning street dancer, JHope, who often guides and monitors the team’s performance. But the one you noticed popping is Jimin, whose background is contemporary dance. He stands out because dancing is like breathing to him! Real stylish! 😂
I love your reactions... they have a choreographer but J-Hope (the real street dancer) contributes with his own choreo, the guy you said is a street dancer is Jimin and he is a contemporary dancer. The playlist of MMA 2019 is: 1- Intro: Persona 2- Boy in Luv 3- Boy with luv 4- Michrocosmos 5- No more dream 6- Danger (My favorite dance practice) 7- I need U 8- Fire 9- Save Me 10- Fake Love 11- Dionysus Dont worry, real ARMYs knows when is fake, others are just haters. Sorry for my english, its not my lenguage
Great list! I do think N.O is is there too at the start of the long table scene, and in the beginning in the classroom they use the instrumental of Intro: What Am I to You?💜
Jimin did "street"-dance long before he did contemporary - which he did only for 1 - 2 years. Jimin won dance battles even against older experienced guys. Recently a video trended from those days. He learned contemporary as there was no school nearby that could teach him hiphop dances. But this helped him to become one of the most versatile dancers out there. And Hobi - our sunshine and dance leader - had also dance lessons which his mother worked extra hard to afford for him. This is one of the reasons he made "Mama". They are both main dancers no but about that. Please don't play the "who is the best danceer in BTS"- game: it is a matter of which one you like more because at that level that is only preference. The truth is always a little more complicated. 4- Mikrokosmos (and those songs at MMA 2019 were all remixes if I remember correctly) Borahae! 💜
I love your reactions so much. We can feel your genuine enthusiasm and love for the content. It is so great to see you geek out about everything from the music to the camera work and everything in between. Can't wait to watch you discover more and watch how hyped you will be through it all. The guys are true musicians and entertainers. They give their all to their craft and it shines through in everything they do. I know your already heard this but thanks again for watching and listening with an open and enthusiastic mind and heart. 💜💛
And Jimmin is the best dancer as well and he has studied 3 martial arts since a young age and tentomparary dance he incorporates some martial moves in his moves .You have to check the MMAS 2018 AND MMAS 2019 ❤
When BTS practice, they also dance with how their live performance would come out… meaning, the emotion and facial expressions are included in the practice as well. Also, they sing live while they dance during rehearsals for a live performance or concert tours.
Yes, they have an in-house choreographer, Son Sung-deuk, who’s been with them since the very beginning. He’s won awards for his choreos and is also now their performance director. They do use other choreographers too when they want to incorporate different styles.
LOVE is LOVE is LOVE, it knows NO COLOR, CULTURE, GENETICS or RULES....the REAL kind, is simply kind and simple....it IS LOVE. I send LOVE to you, ROSCOE, the world needs your spatial light! I am 2 years ARMY and watching you discover BTS reminds me why I love them so much. Peaceful paths and truth in melody to you good, Sir. Walk your path and we'll join you on it along the way. I PURPLE YOU ALL!!! Much peace of LOVE...
I'm love, love, loving your reactions! Your genuine enthusiasm and excitement is exactly why I like reactions; makes me remember my own shock and delight when I first saw the videos. Never change.
I'm so glad you put that cut at the end... Love your perspective and your reactions. Looking forward to seeing more. Also, I haven't seen anyone comment on the question you had about them wearing masks. From what I know (and I am not anywhere close to any kind of expert in Asian cultures) wearing facemasks is something that is commonly done and was commonly done before the pandemic in a number of Asian countries (including South Korea). I am not sure of the specific reasons but I have heard a variety of things (air quality, respect for others if you are not feeling well, etc) but that could be wrong.
Your reactions are so pure and I can see myself in you when I fell down the rabbit hole. It was a performance in 2019 of Fire and I was sucked in, it’s just so energetic that I haven’t seen in any other groups. The group has a team of choreographers including a performance director but they have collaborated with choreographers outside of South Korea too. But the group have also been involved with contributing to the choreography as well.
It's not a surprise that you noticed Jimin. He majored in contemporary, but he can do it all since he also has pop/lock and hip hop roots. Whenever he dances he gives his all and is really captivating I'm sure you'll see more of it as you continue the journey Along with the dance practices, 3J (jimin jungkook jhope) have some unit dances that you can check out..the talent is unbelievable.
...I watched your reaction during work time...it gives so much energy for the rest of my work day! I appreciate your tears and your "fire", thanks a lot...
Yeah that’s what I meant yesterday about that way they use the camera as almost another musical instrument is brilliant and the way they play with the lines and heights of their dances💜
Yaaaassss!!!! Your reaction is EPIC!!!!! And I really appreciate your enthusiasm and eagerness to learn more about these amazing individuals! I look forward to following you on this journey!!!💜💜💜💜
I can't believe anyone would think your reactions are disingenuous! You have one of the most active comment sections I have ever seen it is crazy! I think you should be proud of the sub community you are creating, that so many people feel comfortable commenting. So thank you for choosing to go on this path with us! I appreciate your open mindedness too!
Hey Gnome! Truth be told, I don’t think they were saying the I was just going for views, but that there many reactors out there now trying to do it. I wanted to make sure we were all on the same page.
@@ThisRoscoe Hahaha I didn't mean that there was any either but more that I don't think anyone could and that I didn't want you to think that anyone would. You could feel the energy through the screen. I have to say I don't comment very often at all so I am quite awkward so thats probably why I couldn't get my meaning across properly. Thank you for taking your time to reply.
never encounter a more enthusiastic reactor like you so far and i am loving it so keep going and enjoyi your journey into this rabbit hole, you are doing great and cannot wait for more reactions . don't worry coz Army have a way of knowing a fake to a genuine and sincere reactors and you fall on the gen and sin one.
** SO SORRY ABOUT THE BAD CUT ON THE MINI-SCREEN!! I rushed to get this out! Won't happen again!! **
No biggie! 💜
Dont worry about it ^^
No wories... we here to see your reaction 😊
we already saw the video soo many times before 😁
No worries. We have all seen this at least a hundred times. Your reaction is what matters the most, and that part was amazing.
I wouldn't know how to do what you're doing so in my mind AWESOME job.
ARMY can tell when someone is reacting just for likes and subs and who is authentic. You sir are authentic to me and I'm loving your journey! Welcome to our family!
Thanks for the warm welcome, Nichol!
My sentiments exactly 💯!
I'm usually more of a silent lurker than a commenter but I just have to say that I watch a lot of bts reaction videos and yours are such a breath of fresh air! It is so difficult to find people who do genuine reactions recently so I'm very glad I found you. I love following people's bts journeys from the beginning since everyone's is a bit different and I'm very excited to see how deep into the rabbit hole you'll fall. Also, love the energy!!
Hi Randalieren! You feel free so be as silent as you please! You do you, boo! ♥️ I am glad you’re here, and I hope you’re comfortable because we’re gonna be here a while. 😊
That’s so funny I was just telling my friend about this channel & that I had commented more on these 3 reaction videos than all others combined ever. 💜
I'm glad ARMY told you not to watch MMA 2019 until you've seen or heard all the songs in that performance
In a lot of their earlier dance practices its usually JK wearing the timberlands , Jimin and RM on occasion as well. There are dance practices that are just fun vibes they do their moves but they goof off and then there are straight out full on practices, the goofing off ones are so much fun. Like others have said yes they have a main choreographer , but Jhope helps out with teaching because he is the main dancer and dance leader and he also adds moves of his own sometimes. Jhope is amazing he knows absolutely where each and every member needs to be in every song and they joke about when they mess up they don't want to look at jhope because he would always know and just stare at them. The one you were wondering if he was a break dancer, yes he did do some in middle school he learned pop and lock and was very good, but he moved to contemporary dance in high school when he attended a dance academy , when you get to the see more of the dancing you will see Jimin in his element for sure. There are going to be people out there who are going to criticize new reactors who start reacting to BTS and thats no fair you are not the only who has addressed this. I'd say 99% are genuine wanting to learn and the 1% you can tell they don't care so just do you and we will be here helping you along the way. I really enjoy your open mindness and enthusiasm so thanks for that, ill stop now ive blabbed too long lol.
Wow Teresa, this is awesome. Thank you for this! Love the extra info!
The guy you called a "breaker" is Jimin. He did do Pop Lock dancing, but he specializes in Contemporary dance and attended an arts high school. He was the top student in the Modern Dance Department.
Jimin is the most MJ-like, you've already picked him out in 2 videos 😄, AND he's the one I said sounds like MJ in Tony Montana. He just might be your bias wrecker 😅😅😅
The Jimin effect is already taking hold of you .. 😂😂💜💜💜
he also called jimin "micheal jackson" in his dope reaction
@@chilipuff1033 I told him yesterday once you Jimin you don’t Jimout! 💜
One of the things I’ve come to notice about Jimin’s dancing that sets him apart is the way he takes all his moves right to the fingertips. No body movements with loose hands for him. I imagine this is yhe result of his formal dance training. And yes, his movements are smooth but very ‘sharp’ and controlled.
@@butterbuttersbetter3689 Jimin’s movements actually goes upto the ends of his hair…
They have an in house choreographer that has been with them since the beginning (Son Sungdeuk) and he's also their performance director I believe. They also work with other choreographers like for this song his name is "Keone Madrid" and many others as the years go by. Also as the dance leader J-hope has a heavy hand in their choreo when it comes to performances, he tells them how hard they should go and changes up the formations based on the event and the stage. The guys truly respect him as a dancer and take his words seriously, if J-hope said you did a good job, you did a bloody good job. He's the one you pointed out for facial expressions, if you're looking for theatrics and expressions during performances def look for V and J-hope they'll give it to you and more!!
In Korea masks are a part of hygiene culture even before the pandemic and for keeping anonymity, so in alot of K-pop videos you'll see the backup dancers wearing some form of face covering.
you're going to freak for the Dionysus dance practice and the Not Today dance practice, easily in my Top 5.💜💜
The Mic Drop dance practice with the 3 dance breaks!! 💥💯💥
@@chilipuff1033 exacto!!!
@@chilipuff1033 is that the MAMA Dance Break version of Mic Drop? That is one of my favorites!!!
And then you got a throw in one of their fun dance practices like the Halloween gogo one
@@sugaismypetrock yes yessss
Face coverings for the BTS backup dancers are common - it helps keep the focus on the members of BTS. Even if BTS is wearing clothing similar to the dancers, they'll still stand out and not get lost in the crowd if they're the only ones with faces showing
The pop & lock sharp dancer is Jimin. He came to BTS as the only member with extensive formal dance training - probably already had 6 years of study under his belt by the time he joined in early 2013, primarily in contemporary dance but also had learned pop/locking.
RM was born in 9/1994, so he was only 21 when 'Fire' was released
With all their hard breathing at the end, it's even more amazing that they do these dances live *while also singing the song*
Your authenticity shines thru, never fear. ARMYs are pretty sharp at spotting a numbers-chaser. They aren't as great at acting as they think, and will be over-the-top flattering to BTS in just the first 10 seconds of a video - I feel embarrassed for them and quickly move on
Truth be told, I don’t know if I actually picked up on the heavy breathing at the end… now I gotta watch it again!
Yes! I about died when you got so jacked when V turned the camera lol! Their dance practices go hard every time! You think the foot stomping was something in this one wait until you watch the Not today dance practice! They were stomping so hard it made the camera move from across the gymnasium they were filming it in 😂. Also glad you noticed the relation between the beat saber motions and the dance moves and I think you’ll notice it in other songs as well. Since several people have already mentioned in detail Son Song-deuk (in house choreographer) as well as Jimin’s contemporary dance and J-hope’s street dance, there’s not much more to add yet. That being said though, you’re absolutely right regarding the difference between googling the info opposed to asking us…asking us will definitely give you more detailed insight from various aspects. Lastly, I’d like to see anyone say you are reacting to BTS for the views! Being one of the people who reacted to your first BTS beat saber video (and every one after that 😂) I was wholeheartedly on board with other ARMY urging you to react to BTS. Your reactions are gold my friend and I look forward to every single one of them!
You and me, cue! We in this for the long haul!
I came to watch his beat saber video in my recommendation and I’m stuck here haha can’t wait for more videos!
@@ThisRoscoe lol! Right?!
You had me sold when you said "I could google all this but that's not fun" 😂 Loved your reaction and how excited you got. So many people who "react" to BTS just sit there not even nodding their heads and how they can sit so still during a song like Fire, Dope or On I'll never understand. I'm now subscribed and look forward to more of your reactions and watching you get to know the boys 💜💜💜
Thank you, L W! I’m glad this seems to be as fun for others as it is for me. A ride like this should be enjoyed as a family. It’s too good to ride solo.
Yes they have a separate choreographer, and he's such an awesome man. He has been with BTS since day one, and never abandoned them even through hard times. He has a little son now and presented him to the BTS members, a very short but super sweet moment 💜
Omg that’s amazing!
@@ThisRoscoe
They also bring in co-choreographers for individual projects, like Nicky Andersen for Dynamite and Sienna Lalau for ON.
Let me just add that this amazing man, Son Sungdeuk, the resident/ in-house choreographer is also their performance director. So he does not just choreograph, but also has a hand on stages, formations, etc. And boy.. Those stages are really, reaally, reaaaaaallly, god-tier. Im still reeling from their latest Black Swan stage in the Permission to Dance Concert. Eniwei..
There are still instances when they would actually seek out choreographers outside Big Hit. IF i remember correctly, Keone Madrid was also one of the choreogrphers for Fire. But I think the in-house choreographer and these "cats" ( i love it when you call BTS cats), would still have the final say on what they put out. In future vids, you will see how hard they work and how they would often put their own touches in their performances.
@@bitemegenesis So true, loved this comments. Keone did do this one. Their choreo is some of the hardest in Kpop. I know Best Saber has limited songs from them. I highly recommend Danger dance practice, one of the best choreo from them in their early days.
Haha, I had so much fun watching along with you.😁 That's what I need from a reaction - genuine enjoyment, curiosity and interesting thoughts on what you've just seen. Thank you for addressing the comments you got regarding the way BTS express their love for each other. In addition to a more expressive Korean culture, they also started out sharing one bathroom and sleeping in 7 bunk-beds, so they have no barriers with each other anymore and by the stars how we enjoy seeing them express that.💜 But as you said, ARMY men and women have had many run-ins with toxic masculinity and we tend to be careful with our trust. You don't seem like a man who'd crack a racist, homophobic, sexist or ageist joke for entertainment value, though, so I think you'll do just fine.😊
Eventually, as usual 😑, some people might turn up and try to control you - either through mean messages or passive-agressive comments. Or lies that suit their agendas as solo-fans or antis. If it happens, just bring it out in the light and talk about it. You seem like a man who can shrug it off, but you don't have to sit with alone - we are here for the journey with you.😊 Watching people discover BTS is like falling in love again by proxy and we will help you to the best of our ability to ensure it's fun and wonderful. 💜
You do you. It's one of BTS's key messages and an ARMY value. But ARMY are demanding in our enthusiasm, so don't let us pressure you too much, hehe.😂 Oh, and we might get into heated debates in the comment section about theories, who said what when etc. but please don't mind. ARMY are loud. Very loud. 🤣
Wow, Pen, what a sweet comment. I’ll speak my mind as we go. I’ll call it out and we can go through all this together. 💜
Nicely put. Borahae 💜
This comment! 👍 Just use common sense, not everyone who comments might come from a good place or with good intentions and it's always good to not only listen to us Army but explore, read and think by yourself.
This! ⬆️
"IS MY BOY WEARING CHUCK TAYLORS? We just talked about this!" omg I laughed so hard! Their in-house choreographer has always been a man named Son Sungdeuk, and at some point he was promoted to their overall performance director. They also work with other chorographers. Several of the members love dancer Brian Puspos and have made videos covering his choreo just for fun, and he's now choreographed several official BTS dances, one of which was Jungkook's solo song called My Time. Puspos has shared that he was hired to create the choreo for the song but when he saw the live performance, only parts of his choreo made it into the final. Later Jungkook also revealed he'd choregraphed some of it himself. The way Puspos described it, it sounds like that must be common for the artists to hire a choreo and then just use it as a base to further develop in-house.
I'm sitting here grinning by myself because of your enthusiasm and positive energy. Thanks for giving your time to these boys and us!
Thank YOU for being a passenger on this adventure, Sofie!
YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD REACTOR. YOU LISTEN AND READ THE COMMENTS. I MIGHT CRY.
Thats all. You are such a rare breed. I really hope you fall so hard down this rabbit hole.....I will be here the whole way. 💜 Welcome to BTS. Welcome to ARMY. 💜
Much love, Taija. Thank you!
You’re ending comment of “Help me be better” “Let’s do this together” is exactly what BTS & ARMY is all about. Personal growth together through positive vibes good 🎵 & 💜
They performed this live in LA Dec 1st when I was there for the concert, such amazing performers! Son Sung-Deuk is their main choreographer, J Hope is dance leader, he will often learns moves 1st and helps the others and he contributed his own dances often as well. (I think you were pointing at him when you said look at this guy they love this or whatever) And they often wear chuck Taylors, doc martens also. I love hearing their shoes stomp in practice it just adds to it. Can't wait til this weekend when you do a documentary about them! "You nice, keep going!" (Quote from BTS Jimin ) 💜 Borahae 💜
Jimin is in the red hat that you pointed out. (Other red hat was V) he trained in popping and locking etc in middle school and went to a performing arts high school where he was the top student in modern contemporary dance. Also, trust me ARMYs can tell the fake reactors. I for 1 believe you're genuine.
I was there too 12/1. Hard to get across what an amazing experience. Not only the concert but 50,000 plus of the best Fandom of every type of human from everywhere made the whole day and night best vibe ever.
@@pslinky Thank you, P. ❤️
Looking forward to learning!
I love how you noticed Jimin's dance ability so organically. I am loving this journey thru your videos!!
Roscoe, you geeking out to these guys makes my day. And, yes, this is how a lot of us feel about all their dance practices! I’m sure people in the comments have already told you about Son Sun Duk. (I think my spelling is wrong). He has been with the boys since the beginning.
Imagine, not all of these guys are trained dancers - and they kill everything. Glad I’m along for the ride with you.
Thanks Iarewi, I’m glad you’re here too. 😃
I told my husband how it thrills me to watch other's find the AWESOMENESS of BTS.
Choreographer / Performance Director is Son Sungdeuk (손 성득) -- Family name "Son", Given name "Sungdeuk." We usually call him Mr. Son.
Hahahahahaha, sorry I just laughed at your "sure my spelling is wrong" because even Lee Hyun (Hyunie) got it wrong and they know each other as 83 liners X_D
Yup *we* are out of breath .. from *watching you* 😁 Giving a whole new meaning to _armchair exercise_ 😂 Grinning from ear-to-ear, so enjoyed your questions, excitement and discovery of the Dance Practice Room .... now time for a 🍺
Get it, Penelope!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

20:17 you’re the best reaction channel to bts out there and there are many of them. I said it on your first episode, it’s raw enthusiasm and excitement from you which just makes it so good to watch because everyone here watching this video feels the same way about bts. Keep on doing you thing! Real Army loves you!💜
Wow, Filip… I don’t know what to say. This warmed my heart. Thank you thank you.
Me 2! Me 2! I saw it when he said something like oh I like him when RM was on & you can definitely tell he’s all in now muah ha ha 💜💜
You’re doing great at being very understanding, open-minded, and respectful to their culture. The fact that you understand this already means you’re already checking yourself before we do and it means you’re less likely to offend or say anything insensitive. So thank you.
Thanks for the feedback, Linda. We should always hold each other accountable so we can be the best versions of ourselves. Borahae!

It’s been a while since I’ve found a genuine reactor to BTS who actually enjoys them. You, sir, are a breath of fresh air, and your videos take me back to when I first got into BTS. Thank you for sharing your journey with us
Thank YOU for being a passenger on this ride with me, Abigail!
I loved hearing that you thought the beat saber movements are similar to the choreo, I thought so too.
RM (your guy) would have been 21 international age (Korean age is different, they say you are 1 year old when born and you add a year to your age every January 1st, so RM would have been considered 23 in Korea at this time)
Don’t worry you come off very genuine, if anyone tells you otherwise that person is a hater.
On the subject of culture I think is the answer to your “is there a symbol behind all the backup dancers wearing masks?” In Asia pre-pandemic it was very common to see people wearing face masks in their everyday life, either they were sick or the smog from the cities made it hard to breath. So no I don’t think there was a specific symbol behind the masks but that does not mean there isn’t one and we just haven’t figured it out yet.
Thanks Ash. I know masks are common in Asia, but I thought there might be a meaning behind ALL the dancers wearing them.
@@ThisRoscoe A lot of BTS old performances don’t show their dancers’ faces. Maybe it’s for safety reason so the fans will not bombard them.
@@ThisRoscoe often times, they have backup dancers wear masks for privacy sake. But it’s fairly common for people to wear masks 😷 Also: I think this dance studio was still under construction 😅 so that may have played a part in it.
Since you're passionate about filmography and digging their dancing, here's some BTS content and history you'll appreciate: Jan 2015 they released this killer dance video called "가요대제전 Intro performance Trailer," where they dance to a rock medley that includes Limp Bizkit. th-cam.com/video/S1Up-ZzHmuw/w-d-xo.html. This video was actually a clapback to some shady business when they performed this live the week before. Korea had been dominated by 3 entertainment agencies (nicknamed "the big 3") for years and held major sway with TV networks and music shows. BTS's company was tiny but their success made them a threat. BTS performed this dance number on a 2014 New Year's Eve music show as part of a dance battle against a popular group from a Big 3, and the camera work was absolute crap for BTS, clearly meant to undermine their performance since the other group was filmed fine. A week later, Big Hit releases their own filmed version. The kicker is that it opens with "VERY GOOD CAMERA" on screen, proceeding to show a dynamic multi-cam recording as if it's a music video, a great example of the quality BTS and Big Hit are known for. THEN they play the dance again prefaced with "GOOD CAMERA," this time showing it from just a single steady-cam mounted high to take it all in, no frills, but still captures the full choreo well, basically saying the music show could have literally put forth NO EFFORT and it would have been better than their garbage. Then they play the dance AGAIN, prefaced with the words DO YOU WANT MORE? followed by a dynamic zoomed-in single-cam version focusing just on the 7 BTS members instead of the full stage of backup dancers. (I believe one of the complaints against BTS at the time was that their performance battle wasn't fair because they had backup dancers but the other group had none.) I might be wrong, but I think this is one of the few times their company every publicly pushed back like this. This type of mistreatment from the Korean music industry against BTS is just one of many examples of what they faced for years as they fought to rise. If you want to see the original bad camera work at the music show, here yo go (this also includes a performance of their song Danger afterward) th-cam.com/video/kWuNi-OLLgU/w-d-xo.html,
Yes! This. Roscoe NEEDS to see this one, it's phenomenal.
Ahhh yes, this was such a highlight of BH’s passive aggressiveness. BTS were so young back then, about 18 months into their career.
I too would love to see Roscoe go over their 2014 MBC Dejejun performance & then compare it to the intro performance trailer. Thanks for providing the links!
Yes Please!! First the performance and then the Performance trailer, its so Good!! Or the other way round and it will blow your mind what they did to an awesome dance. You do you Roscoe, I'm looking forward to all the discoveries vicariously with you and loving your excitement! 💜
bumping because yes lol, thank you for this comment fr fr tho
I really hope Roscoe sees this eventually!
RM was born on Sept 12, 1994 and the dance practice usually releases within the same year as when the MV came out. so RM is around 22
Really enjoying your genuine reactions to BTS.Keep them coming please!
Buckle up, my dear Rebecca! We’ve got a loooooong ride ahead of us!!
I just wanna tell you that my cat jumped all the way to the ceiling when you screamed at 17:39 😂😂😅
You're gonna get answers from everybody, so I'm gonna skip that and tell you after today's reaction, I think it's too late for you, you're gonna be an army for life! 😄 I saw the literal 🔥 in your eyes and your mind just 🤯🤯🤯 by our boys, Army lives for those moments! 💥💯💥
Don't change a damn thing! Just loving it!

I literally got chills when the camera moved and with the appearance of all the dancers. I have seen this many times but I think your reaction was so genuine that it added to my response. We love seeing others discover BTS and really appreciate their art. I think it is wonderful for your channel to grow and reach success. All you have to do is find what you really enjoy within our world and remain genuine as you have already been. Hit Man Bang guided our young men to just stay genuine and that they have. This is just one reason we love BTS. They are genuine also humble, hard working, funny, smart, loving, generous, kind, and talented. 💜
I got tears in my eyes, legit!!
Your reaction to the camera swing was priceless!!! Seeing your joy in discovery reminds me that we were all newbies and started at the same place. I remember that thrill and excitement. Thank you. 💜💜 Gigi
Oh my... Why am I touched by your reaction? Is it because I've been through a similar process? This is a really sincere and enjoyable video.^^
Oh, Roscoe, you are making this so much fun! This was a great way to spend my lunch break today. So glad you're still enjoying the gents and the ARMY family. As you saw here, BTS is always coming up with ways to be extra. I want to let that inspire me where my own life is concerned. Thanks for letting us be part of your journey. We're having a blast right along with you!
Thank you for joining me, Allora! I love the energy in this space and makes me thrilled to know that you all are having fun as well.
SO SO glad people told you not to watch MMA/MAMA performances yet. Yes, they're epic, but you need more BTS context to really appreciate them fully.
😍Roscoe! Great reaction!🔥🔥
RM is just that guy! He is also my bias.😁 OT7 with RM bias is how I look at it.😊
He was around 23(International) when that dance practice was posted 2017. He was 19 when they debuted 2013.
And yes Korean society is/can be a lot more touchy feely with close male relationships but they also have their own stereotypical views on what is manly.🤷🏾♀️
You attracted ARMY by being Roscoe and we noticed genuine kind wild spirit. Just be aware that some that say they are ARMY may not be, antis/anti fans and single member fans(like only one member) can be and are uber negative which gives us a bad name and rep. We aren't perfect but we work on being as positive and up lifting as possible so that we attract more positive people to ARMY.🙂
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
We keepin it positive ‘round here! Love is love is love is love!!! 💜
You're a little off about RM's age, he was a bit younger here. The dance practice was actually posted in 5/2016 and RM was born in 9/1994.
@@organiccookie1306 THANKS!💜 I was hoping it was at least close, I knew it was around 5 years ago. 😊
We can tell genuine reactors and I would definitely say you are. Enjoying watching you.

So cool that you pointed out Jimin’s dancing. You are totally right he followed popping lessons back in the day (also many other styles). I feel like the amount of detail you’re noticing in their movements shows that you have a lot of potential to be a great dancer as well. Looking forward to the next one! 🙌🏼

Thank you A J; this warms my heart. Much love to you, friend.
Best choreos I have ever seen. They are not just technically and visually pleasing, but if you follow it you can see it tells a story
Oohhhh interesting, Maggie…. You tryna bring me into some next level stuff I see. I’m in!!
Fun fact:the dance room was under construction when they filmed this video hahaha
Been watching you more recent videos lately and went back to watch your older reactions because I was curious how it started.
I went back because of the genuine joy that is present in your videos and I'm glad to see that it has always been there, such a comforting watch, truly. Love the way you do things

What make me fall deep into BTS??? Dance Practice Vids......I cant get out, every single dance practice is awesome!!!
I can’t wait to see more.
They have 50 backup dancers, a band, a set of brass, and yes, choreographers, make up crew, stylists. They need 2 huge jets for travel.
This is the earliest I have seen a reactor have a clear bias but hey that's our worldwide leader! Love your reactions and can't wait to see how you enjoy the rabbit hole!
Now imagine seeing this live on stage with flamethrowers and 50 thousand screaming fans.
......THIS !!....I'm dreaming of living to be present live in 2025 or 6, to witness live in person my 7 'grandsons by another mother & father' lol. My honest love I feel for these special 7 young men is a testament to the awesome, energizing, joy producing, limitless ppwer of love... Love transcends languages, boundaries, nationalities, skin colors, genders/gender identities, stereotypes, prejudices, financial standings, age differences...Love transcends all & is the answer to every problem our world has or ever has had.
I thoroughly enjoy your reactions! So much fun!
I’m so happy Denezhka!
That's what they do - they always go an extra mile, since their debut days till now. Such simple but sincere things like Yoongi (SUGA) making a lot of small birthday gift packages to give to fans when they were having a fan meeting back in their early days and it was his birthday that day, to this day when they recently had their 4 sold out nights in SoFi stadium and made sure ARMYs had water in long lines for merch, cause it was hot in LA in the middle of the day. Never forgetting to thank ARMY when they win something, always including us with each achievement and cheering for us when times are hard. It's the both sided cheering for me, ARMY cheers for BTS, but BTS also cheers for ARMY to succeed in life, to be happy and healthy, every single day. That's what makes this community so amazing and feels like family 💜💜💜
This is my favorite dance practice video ever!!!
As someone else who adores RM for his presence, you're so going to enjoy watching the U.N. speeches when you get to them. I also want to be RM when I grow up (46 here).
I also recommend watching, after you know them better, some of the compilations of RM breaking things, he's our leader and we love him, but he's dangerous!
And he's not allowed to drive in his 20s 😄😄😄
Breaking things?? 😀
@@ThisRoscoe He is very affectionately known as the God of Destruction. He tends to be a little clumsy, and maybe doesn't quite know his own strength. That is until he is holding a tiny animal, like a crab, then he is the most gentle person on earth.
@@chilipuff1033 Remember when he said other members said no driving or cooking for Joonie for the sake of world peace?!

Jimin attended a dance academy where he learned popping, locking, boogaloo etc. He was so good that at some point his teacher waved the tuition fees. Later on Jimin attended the arts school where he entered as and was a top student. He is specialized in contemporary/modern ballet but also learned traditional Korean dances. Jimin is also trained in martial arts (black belt in Taekwondo, knows Hapkido, and a few other). So his dancing incorporate all these various styles and skills which makes him a unique dancer dancer in my opinion. J-Hope has been a street dancer so he has those amazing urban hip hop moves, locking popping. And JK is a fantastic mix of them both. Like taking the best of everything. When 3J (JK, Jimin, JHope) come together as a dance unit, it is magic and breathtaking. They did a dance break to Butter for the rap part of Megan Thee Stallion. It was just 🤌🤌
Pack a lunch for this rabbit hole Roscoe! Don’t beat yourself up about their names when you get them you’ll get them but it’s hard when you’re getting into them now because going back they all change their hair colors to different colors at different times and every color of the rainbow but you’ll get it and we won’t hold that against you I promise
I love your genuine enthousiasm because I feel the same and I can vibe with you !!! i keep on saying "I knooooow riiiight !!!!" everytime you say something or you react to something !!! And don't worry we can feel you are not acting, we are used to people over reacting and it's really different, it's just your personality and it's so cool I lvoe to see it !!! Can"t wait to see more of your reactions !!!!!
All about them vibes, Gabby, right?? Much love!!!!
Doesn’t surprise me though that the golden maknae would choose to wear the boots for stomping!💜
Son SungDeuk!!!!! The most epic of all choreographers. He also used to dance back when they didn’t have much. He stayed with them and eventually became their performance director. He’s family. He even brings his son to the studio sometimes. He was a mentor on I-Land and helped choose the enhypen members. My favorite performance he directed and choreographed was for TxT’s Yeonjun. He was artist of the month on a dance channel and omg the performance was legendary. (enhypen and txt are the BTS little brother groups.)
J-Hope is their dance leader. He helps choreo, he cleans up routines and makes sure each member is doing it perfectly, and he spends time teaching them. They’re always working on being better. I cannot wait until you see On. Omg. It is perfection. Anyway, Jimin and J-Hope are main dancers. They’re equally talented, but in totally different styles. Sometimes Jimin shines, sometimes it’s Hobi, but they’re always sooooooo good.
The masks are normal in Asian countries lol. I grew up wearing one because of pollution and germs and hygiene. When Americans started having to wear them and they were complaining, I just laughed because I already had a collection of cute masks, knew all the makeup tricks, and I felt like I was finally the normal one 😂😂
Most of the Kpop groups are really great dancers but what's amazing about BTS is half of them learned dancing in their early 20's and most of the BTS dances are one of the hardest in whole kpop industry... This proves how much they must have practiced dancing... 😅😅😅
Amazing reaction and I love that you are discovering BTS just like rest of us did!
I bang my head right along with you! I'm 55, I was a teen in the 80s & that's what we did. Also, ARMY knows when someone is doing BTS reactions just for the views, and, you my friend, are totally genuine. Love the reactions, loved your bonus end at this reaction. Keep it up 💜
Ang!!! Let’s keep these heads banging, baby!!!! 🤘🤘
You are definitely 100% genuine and I love how you are now doing reactions! I also like your insight on technical things. Enjoying your videos from the very first beat saber upload.
Your pure enjoyment watching our boys shows you are totally genuine. We know those who aren't and you are definitely not one of those 💜💜
Thank you so much 🤗
Dude we know who’s authentically enjoying the boys , you are fully already Army without knowing it yet. Nobody thinks you’re not genuine . This is giving me life
I’m happy that you’re here with us, Malissa. Thank you for the kind words.
Roscoe, I am definitely your biggest fan. So pleased that you chose to do this one. 🥰🥰🤗🤗
Jimin, the one you noticed with the red cap and the Tims, he actually specialised in contemporary dance, (you'll die when you see his performance on MMA 2019), but he did learn street dance as well. He is also a very skilled martial artist, with a black belt in Taekwondo, and experience in many other disciplines as well, it shows in his dance in the control, the core strength. You'll see.
Charni, I’m YOUR biggest fan ❤️
Your energy is so infectious! I can't help but get hyped alongside you even if I've seen this dance practice 50 times by this point!
7:13 - Yes, BTS has worked with a number of well-known choreographers in the global dance community but they primarily work with their in-house choreographer Son Sungdeuk. He is Big Hit Entertainment’s performance director, and he has been with BTS since the very beginning of the band's career.
This was so much to watch; honestly, I have the biggest smile on my face watching you enjoy yourself! I love it and I can't for more! 💜
also pointing out Jimin, he never half asses it when he dances, also hat Jimin be dancing dancing, whenever you see him dancing with his hat all low, just prepare yourself. Although Jimin has experience in hip hop dance he has a major foundation in contemporary dance and a little ballet. That's my bias and he's part of the dance line in the group and the dance subunit 3J.
Hat Jimin 💜
@@sugaismypetrock you know the vibesss
OH MAN! I love 💜 your reactions soooo much
They are so touchy because they love each other like if they were family. Western culture is not used to that, Mexican culture, I'm mexican, is not at all use to it but for me their interaction is beautiful. And I love them as my family.
Son Sung-deuk has been the BigHit/HYBE Performance Director and main choreographer
for BTS (Danger, We are Bulletproof pt2, &dozens of others)... he's been there since the beginning and set the standard very high....
Jimin is a trained contemporary/modern dancer, and helps in that mode. Jungkook is a human sponge and absorbed so much dance expertise, so he helps too.
J-hope was a street dancer and a great teacher. He often helps with choreo development and learns it 1st and helps others learn it...
Other choreographers include : Keone & Mari Madrid (Fire; Dope; Not Today); Sienna Lalau (ON; Chicken Noodle Soup; Dionysus); Brian Puspos (Serendipity; Butterfly); Rie Hata (MIC Drop; Anpanman; Airplane Pt. 2; David Lim (Boy in Luv); Dylan Mayoral (Boy Meets Evil) there are also many others. The () does not show all the songs they choreographed and often there are more than 1 choreographer on some songs.
I’m so pleased you’re waiting to do the MMAs until after you hear the songs. I don’t know why people recommend those early on. They’re obviously going to be so much more interesting and enjoyable if you know the songs being performed. Good decision! 👍👏
MAN ! I like too much ,,, so happy to be part of your joureny , you are respectful funny active genuine and you have a positive manners .. love u
Glad you’re enjoying, JGirl!! Welcome!
Not sure if this is true but I read in comments somewhere that some members wear boots to dance practices because they are heavy it makes them lighter on their feet for the actual performance. I have not seen that from an official source but it made sense to me.
Oh that does make sense. It’s like in the military; we train with lots of heavier things so it’s easier when we actually need it to be.
@@ThisRoscoe What branch of the military were you in? I was a Combat Medic in the US ARMY.
BTS’ in-house (BigHit Music) choreographer is Son Sundeuk, who has been their performance director from the beginning. He has mentored them into their distinctive style of tightly synchronised dancing, combined with looser freestyling moments. Their dance leader is actually Award-winning street dancer, JHope, who often guides and monitors the team’s performance. But the one you noticed popping is Jimin, whose background is contemporary dance. He stands out because dancing is like breathing to him! Real stylish! 😂
I love your reactions... they have a choreographer but J-Hope (the real street dancer) contributes with his own choreo, the guy you said is a street dancer is Jimin and he is a contemporary dancer.
The playlist of MMA 2019 is:
1- Intro: Persona
2- Boy in Luv
3- Boy with luv
4- Michrocosmos
5- No more dream
6- Danger (My favorite dance practice)
7- I need U
8- Fire
9- Save Me
10- Fake Love
11- Dionysus
Dont worry, real ARMYs knows when is fake, others are just haters. Sorry for my english, its not my lenguage
Great list! I do think N.O is is there too at the start of the long table scene, and in the beginning in the classroom they use the instrumental of Intro: What Am I to You?💜
Jimin did "street"-dance long before he did contemporary - which he did only for 1 - 2 years. Jimin won dance battles even against older experienced guys. Recently a video trended from those days. He learned contemporary as there was no school nearby that could teach him hiphop dances. But this helped him to become one of the most versatile dancers out there.
And Hobi - our sunshine and dance leader - had also dance lessons which his mother worked extra hard to afford for him. This is one of the reasons he made "Mama".
They are both main dancers no but about that. Please don't play the "who is the best danceer in BTS"- game: it is a matter of which one you like more because at that level that is only preference.
The truth is always a little more complicated.
4- Mikrokosmos
(and those songs at MMA 2019 were all remixes if I remember correctly)
Borahae! 💜
I love your reactions so much. We can feel your genuine enthusiasm and love for the content. It is so great to see you geek out about everything from the music to the camera work and everything in between. Can't wait to watch you discover more and watch how hyped you will be through it all.
The guys are true musicians and entertainers. They give their all to their craft and it shines through in everything they do.
I know your already heard this but thanks again for watching and listening with an open and enthusiastic mind and heart. 💜💛
Thanks T!
And Jimmin is the best dancer as well and he has studied 3 martial arts since a young age and tentomparary dance he incorporates some martial moves in his moves .You have to check the MMAS 2018 AND MMAS 2019 ❤
You love music, you love dancing, I'm glad. Thank you for a good time 💜
Thanks for hanging out with me!
Your calves on BeatSaber told us you love to dance. Imo 😌
HAHAHA! Fair point!!
When BTS practice, they also dance with how their live performance would come out… meaning, the emotion and facial expressions are included in the practice as well. Also, they sing live while they dance during rehearsals for a live performance or concert tours.
So impressive! For real!!
Yes, they have an in-house choreographer, Son Sung-deuk, who’s been with them since the very beginning. He’s won awards for his choreos and is also now their performance director. They do use other choreographers too when they want to incorporate different styles.
LOVE is LOVE is LOVE, it knows NO COLOR, CULTURE, GENETICS or RULES....the REAL kind, is simply kind and simple....it IS LOVE. I send LOVE to you, ROSCOE, the world needs your spatial light! I am 2 years ARMY and watching you discover BTS reminds me why I love them so much. Peaceful paths and truth in melody to you good, Sir. Walk your path and we'll join you on it along the way. I PURPLE YOU ALL!!! Much peace of LOVE...
Mira Moon... I am humbled by your comment and love. Love is love is love.... I hope you stick around a while and enjoy this journey with us. Borahae!
You get it! We can see that! Can’t we ARMY??
I'm love, love, loving your reactions! Your genuine enthusiasm and excitement is exactly why I like reactions; makes me remember my own shock and delight when I first saw the videos. Never change.
LOVE LOVE Loooove your reactions !! You make me feel like I'm experiencing finding BTS all over again 😍 3 years later!
Funny, that's almost exactly what I said, and then I saw your comment. Great minds think alike, huh? 😎😍
I'm so glad you put that cut at the end... Love your perspective and your reactions. Looking forward to seeing more.
Also, I haven't seen anyone comment on the question you had about them wearing masks. From what I know (and I am not anywhere close to any kind of expert in Asian cultures) wearing facemasks is something that is commonly done and was commonly done before the pandemic in a number of Asian countries (including South Korea). I am not sure of the specific reasons but I have heard a variety of things (air quality, respect for others if you are not feeling well, etc) but that could be wrong.
Your reactions are so pure and I can see myself in you when I fell down the rabbit hole. It was a performance in 2019 of Fire and I was sucked in, it’s just so energetic that I haven’t seen in any other groups.
The group has a team of choreographers including a performance director but they have collaborated with choreographers outside of South Korea too. But the group have also been involved with contributing to the choreography as well.
Thanks Joyce! I am glad this journey is resonating with you. Life is good, amirite??
It's not a surprise that you noticed Jimin.
He majored in contemporary, but he can do it all since he also has pop/lock and hip hop roots. Whenever he dances he gives his all and is really captivating I'm sure you'll see more of it as you continue the journey
Along with the dance practices, 3J (jimin jungkook jhope) have some unit dances that you can check out..the talent is unbelievable.
Jin is a big Mario fan. He collects figurines. His ear pieces have Mario stars on them.
Oh how cool is that!
...I watched your reaction during work time...it gives so much energy for the rest of my work day! I appreciate your tears and your "fire", thanks a lot...
Awww thanks Wilde!!! This made my day!
Yeah that’s what I meant yesterday about that way they use the camera as almost another musical instrument is brilliant and the way they play with the lines and heights of their dances💜
your reactions seem so genuine. Your energy and excitement is awesome and makes these reactions so much fun to watch
I’m so glad you’re enjoying, nik. I hope you hang out for a while; we’ve got a long ride ahead of us. 😊
i really love the way you exploded in excitement when the camera moves 😂😂 i got excited watching you get excited 😂
This was next level, Lemon!!
Yaaaassss!!!! Your reaction is EPIC!!!!! And I really appreciate your enthusiasm and eagerness to learn more about these amazing individuals! I look forward to following you on this journey!!!💜💜💜💜
I can't believe anyone would think your reactions are disingenuous! You have one of the most active comment sections I have ever seen it is crazy! I think you should be proud of the sub community you are creating, that so many people feel comfortable commenting. So thank you for choosing to go on this path with us! I appreciate your open mindedness too!
Hey Gnome! Truth be told, I don’t think they were saying the I was just going for views, but that there many reactors out there now trying to do it. I wanted to make sure we were all on the same page.
@@ThisRoscoe Hahaha I didn't mean that there was any either but more that I don't think anyone could and that I didn't want you to think that anyone would. You could feel the energy through the screen. I have to say I don't comment very often at all so I am quite awkward so thats probably why I couldn't get my meaning across properly. Thank you for taking your time to reply.
@@ThisRoscoe Plus, your eyes light up and that's hard to fake. If you are, hand this man an Oscar!
never encounter a more enthusiastic reactor like you so far and i am loving it so keep going and enjoyi your journey into this rabbit hole, you are doing great and cannot wait for more reactions . don't worry coz Army have a way of knowing a fake to a genuine and sincere reactors and you fall on the gen and sin one.
Oh my God I literally burst out laughing when he said feel free to cut it off but I’m gonna watch it again and army says what?? lol
Lol!! I knew you all would stick around! Just trying to be “nice” 😜
Bts has a dance choreographer since debuted until now.. his name is
SON SUNGDEOK he is a great Choreographer ..
Thanks Ramona!!
