Dear ARMY, can we really appreciate Ben's reaction and actually talk about the contents of the videos in the comment section too ??? About 80% of the comment section is requesting for smth. And worse, I saw mostly the same recommendation 😅. So can we like that comment which recommends what you want to request and talk about the content ? The video literally spoke about how beautiful our fandom and its culture is, why don't we live up to it in this space too ??? Borahaee ARMY ! Have a great day ~ 💜💜💜💜💜
I wasn’t really into K-pop before, but one day, I stumbled upon BTS on TH-cam, and everything changed. BTS helped me through some of the darkest moments of my life. I thank God for allowing me to discover them at the exact time I needed comfort the most. I’ve never cared about a group or artist as much as I do for BTS. I didn’t appreciate K-pop until I found them. They’ve set the bar so high that whenever I try to explore other groups, my heart always comes back to BTS. To me, no one else compares-their artistry, lyrics, and music are on another level. Everything they do, they do with such excellence. They’re legendary. They’re not perfect, no one is, but what I admire most about them is their humility, kindness, and honesty. They’re genuine-what you see is what you get. BTS has influenced me to become a better person, and that’s how impactful they are. I know I’m not alone in experiencing this kind of joy from BTS. I’m just grateful and proud to be part of such an intelligent, incredible community-the BTS ARMY. We’re in this Bangtan sh1t for life, indeed!💜
The toxic people and solos you see in the comments are the loud 0.01%. Real Army’s love all 7 members and love those who Iove BTS. Don’t let them scare you Ben. They are a loud minority. 💜
When I went to PTD DOCUMENTARY MOVIE I saw an Army giving out Photocards to everyone in the cinema..i got inspired and i did the same for I AM STILL Movie...i felt so happy and armys were so cute and they were happy too . Also During Suga kickboardincident Armys all around the world Donated hundreds of dollars for UNICEF under Yoongis name in their respective counties .
I never comment but, I have to say that one time I was watching a charity stream for St. Jude, a children’s hospital that does research for cancer, and I saw multiple donations under the name of ‘BTS ARMY’ and it was really heart warming to see especially since the live stream was by a Sims4 player and had nothing to do with kpop. Some army just donated but put in under armies name. 😢
Recently some people threated to leak jungkook international passport details ( personal details) army take down this account with in a few hours. Before that person post anything.
Yeah, I noticed how twt army’s are soo fast to report and take down problematic accounts. They’re truly a protective shield a lot of the time. So hardworking when it comes to streaming, voting and protecting the boys. I’m seriously grateful to these ppl, since I only have limited time and understanding
Spanish baby army here: i had cry watching the video because i didn'y know all of this. you are all amazing! i need army friends to cry together hahaha borahae 💜💜 Ben, keeping with the great work!
Army's are over protective of BTS...and Army's are the humble fandom ever..i mean ofcourse if someone is not good to our boys...then we have to came into action otherwise ..army's are great❤❤..u dont have to be scared uk😂😂
I have found a community in ARMY, not only online but also in my city, I have a group of 15 army friends (age 14 to 64) and we help and respect each other so much. I get very sad when we are misrepresented because I have nothing but good experiences in the fandom 💜 Borahae ARMY
I saw a tweet by an Army saying she promised BTS she will improve on herself while they are gone. She just passed the bar exam! Her tweet had so many congratulations and purple hearts. This is the fandom I joined in 2016.
Im honestly so happy to hear that someone thinks of us differently and not toxicly.. I hate when theres someone in our fandom that wants to know their personal issues, problems and anything about them. Celebrities are people that encourages us. they dont own us ANYTHING. we should keep them protected and safe, we shouldnt make it unsafe and tiring for them. theres a high risk that they would quit being idols due to the stressful job and wide spread recognition. they are our idols but they are human too. im so proud of my fandom, im proud to call myself an army 💜💜 i love you guys so muchh and thank you for listening to our idols wishes 💜💜💜💜
It’s kind of bittersweet to watch this now bc sadly the fandom changed a lot since this video came out, and not in a good way… Unfortunately, the number of toxic fans and solos grew a lot and some armies forgot the fandom’s principles that were mentioned in this video.
I have to admit, I'm concerned about the 'toxic solo effect' that may be the result of the solo era. But then I remind myself that when the guys are together again they will probably be concentrating on group songs for a while, and that will send a lot of solos packing. I notice an awful lot of commenters now nag reactors for specific reactions, and completely fail to say anything about what the reactor is actually viewing at the time. I would never be a reactor, I'd be too busy telling people, "Shut UP about that, ok? There's only so many hours in the week and so many videos I can make at one time; and why should I bother making a video for you when you pay no attention at all to the one you're actually on?"
Yeah, sadly I agree. Another thing I think many ppl in the fandom don't realize or don't consider, regarding the toxic fans, are their numbers. For example, let's say the fandom consists of 14 million ppl and only 10% are toxic... that 10% might be the minority, but 1,400,000 is a lot of ppl and when you have that many ppl constantly spreading hate(like what’s happening rn regarding Felix and the AMAs) that's what ppl are mostly going to see and it's sad/upsetting. It's not that everyone thinks ARMYs as a whole is toxic, many ppl know there are a lot of good ARMYs too... the issue is that the toxic fans are extremely loud and they tend to overshadow everyone else😮💨 Unfortunately, the bigger a group gets(no matter who it is), the more toxic fans they pick up along the way and with BTS having the largest fanbase(and still growing), the amount of toxic fans are going to be greater. I know it's hard for many to accept, afterall no one wants their fandom to be related to anything negative, but that's just reality and it’s something we can't control🤷♀ When it comes to negativity in general, I just laugh and ignore it bc it's childish and not worth the time and energy fighting over lol I've been a K-pop fan for 15yrs now, so I know just how hateful, stupid and annoying/immature some K-pop fans can be, even some within my own fandom(s)😂🤦♀ Some also shouldn’t justify that toxic behavior by saying stuff like “we’re just over protective” bc not only are you allowing such behavior, you’re encouraging it and that’s not right😟
@@Bionca1214 That's all very true. We do seem to have a lower overall % of toxics (I've been in much smaller fandoms with a much higher % of trolls), but we're such a big fandom, that it still comes out to a lot of people. There's over 80M of us, so even 1% of that would be almost a million nasty folk hanging around. And toxics are so. Darn. Loud. I hadn't heard about Felix; that poor lad keeps landing in trouble lately. First he got told off for not knowing Korean history and offending Koreans with his ignorance, and now this. The thing is, he's not wrong. Many groups did pave the way, and NSYNC was certainly one of them. It's only fair to add that NKOTB and the Jackson Five before them were the ones that really kicked off the whole 'boy band' idea, though. (Honestly, I'm a little annoyed with the AMAs themselves. Imagine doing a 'boy band' homage while BTS is unable to attend...)
@@ystrw I knew the fandom was huge I just wasn’t sure about the number(it grows everyday lol), so I used a random number, but 80+ million!? 10% of that is 8 million… damn that’s a lot ppl(that’s almost the amount of likes V gets on an IG post)😅 Yeah, it’s really sad, but ridiculously annoying more than anything… I had heard about the Felix drama yesterday, right before I posted my first comment. I was like “Really?” lol I just ignored it and laughed it off bc for one, they’re in America, at an American award show where they paid tribute to *NSYNC(an American boy band) by performing their iconic song “Bye Bye Bye” and the question referred to Boy Bands not K-pop boy bands/groups… While BTS did pave the way for K-pop groups to transition into the U.S., they didn’t pave the way for boy bands overall. Boy bands existed way before BTS’s time lol it didn’t start or end with them... I never take the toxics seriously, they’re usually kids from this new generation, they’d have to be to say something like that… I still be jamming to The Temptations and Jackson 5 and I was born in '90 liner lol Not all gen z are toxic tho, thank goodness🙏🏽😄
Je sais conscient qu'il y a de nombreux 'Army ici. Je tiens à vous exprimer mon amour et ma fierté de faire partie de cette communauté. Merci, Ben, pour cette vidéo.
Im really happy to have stumbled upon this video. Seing the original video again makes me so happy rn. I really needed this today. You easily get distracted by negative daily news but things like this make my heart feel so warm and full. It’s how I fell in love with the fandom first years ago, the support and love and joint effort. I never expected to like some artists this much, as I never really listened to music. Then I found bts and they became an integral part of my life. So I never expected to fall in love with a fandom at all. But from day 1 I’ve felt the support and love. As someone who knew nothing about the music industry, streaming or anything, I got so much support and help to get around. I love how army’s always try to improve and be better. I love how bts and army’s became my safe space, my magic shop I can always turn to and seek comfort and happiness and so many more emotions. Their music accompanied me through every important moment of my life since I became an army.
I am one of those ARMY who can go to concerts,don’t have membership,can’t afford album and merchandise,because y priorities are needs not wants,and BTS just wants us to enjoy their music and be an inspirations for each others 💜💜💜
I really love watching those videos with Ben. It's like I'm watching with a friend, as I am the only Army in my friends group this is really wholesome 💜
Saying that "ARMY is dedicated and protective of BTS" is really understatement as proven by all the projects ARMY all over the world did to protect and support Suga on a very trying episode just last month.
I really appreciate you are now reacting to documentary videos 💜💜💜 I’m so proud of being an ARMY. I can tell that my fellow ARMYs are SO GENEROUS!!! Thank you!!!
I am subscribed to both ur channels on TH-cam and Patreon just for BTS so it makes me happy whenever you try to research more about them 💜 I really hope to see some improvement in the patreon uploads atleast one long video a week or month 😅 or just watch one BTS show or behind the scenes episode anything would work
I'm a new kpop fan/Stay and it's sometimes terrifying seeing how fans treat the groups they love, their fandom, and other fandoms. I'm grateful for the shift in kpop fandoms and for the Army setting a good example. These groups deserve fans that respect them as artists and people. We have to encourage the good and call out the bad so they can be safe, happy, and proud of their influence in the world. Thanks Army and decent people everywhere!

This video shows the difference between real army and new people claiming to be army. If they don't know or follow these basics, they are fakes no matter when they started posting about the group. We have standards and the way some act badly these days is annoying to the majority of us who like peace.
I have run into several ARMY and they have been so nice it's like being with family members, and I love it. I've never been a person to be a fan of anyone until BTS because they are the first group who aligns with my belief of being a good human being and treating others with respect.
It makes me sad knowing other fandoms team up just to take hits at another. A similar thing happened against SB19 recently. I may be an ELF but I'm also a baby ARMY and I just want to enjoy the music and support the artists in whatever projects they're involved in. 💙💜
Thank you for looking forward with your Ben sharing this video BTS 's Army is widely regarded as one of the biggest and most dedicated fandoms in the world 💜💜 reaction you show's before 🥰 today during reminded back to back
It's so true! ARMY is the most charitable and protective fandom I've ever seen and I've ever been part of as someone who used to stan a lot of artists and groups and also fandoms outside music like actors, sports, etc. ARMYs are great and I'm so proud to be part of it! We really have been changing the fandom culture since the very beginning (I also think our actions are really influenced by BTS' messages and personas) and now you can see others trying to do the same kind of things. Armys are the blueprint! Of course, there's a percentage of toxic people like in every community and as always they are loud, but it's really the minority compared to how huge we are and for what we are really known outside (not in just an app like twt that is full of toxic people in general and full of stans hating others while pretending to be fans of BTS even though I truly think twt army is the best too)
I once came across a query email from an international student (ARMY) at the Uni where I work in the UK. She had some issues relating to settling down and her course. She had Jungkook's picture as her pp and BTS. I gave her all the support she needed and extra just in case. I felt like I was helping a younger sister.
bts mma 2019 FULL PERFORMANCE is a must the scale is huge and Dimple + Pied Piper Live too🔥🔥 it's on another level I actually would love if you dive more into their bside tracks like Magic shop & Answer: Love Myself Live the meaning is so touching
Thanks Ben, for listening to the channel of truth, boracity magazine. I really appreciate your steps to know Bangtan and ARMYs more. I really like this content a lot. Thanks man...
Ben its high time you should react to BTS MMA 2019 full Performance & Dimple + Pied Piper Live with eng subs 💜🔥 both are iconic For kpop i would recommend Most Viewed Kpop fancams of all time
I love you army you guys makes me feel that I should too so something good . Really I am not employed yet but even I will I am going to contribute to you guys . I really thank you guys for being this good and kind and make me feel so proud I love you guys . Just cutt off the toxicity and focus on good
Thank you for this video Ben! When I first started to stan BTS I too was terrified of ARMY. But as time went on I realised they are just protective of the BTS members. I feel the BTS ARMY is just misunderstood. Of course not everyone is perfect and there may be few toxic people or haters posing as fans. APOBANGPO 💜
I also had a negative idea of army until I stepped into it. Wow! The kindest and most welcoming, most diverse and most patient individuals. I listen to so much different artists and many fanbases will judge and ridicule new fans for not knowing certain things, they'll even gatekeep. But ARMY welcomes and embraces everyone. There's always someone in the comments willing to explain or translate for baby army so that you can understand the content and enjoy the inside joke. I also love how we flood any BTS collaborators with so much love and positivity on their socials even when their fans are trashing our boys (this is still hard for me to do and I now avoid That Kid Laroi's Twitter page 😅😅😅) I am still growing as an ARMY
So proud to be a BTS ARMY! Other ARMY are just so amazing! I live in Wisconsin and my 10 year old daughter and I went to the D-Day movie when it came out. ARMY were so kind and gave us gifts of photo card packets they made 💜I have a lot of BTS stickers on my car and get lots of honks and Korean hearts at me on the roadways💜🥰
Sou army do Brasil e fico muito feliz quando alguém procura saber e entender o que acontece com os ídolos e seus fãs. Parabéns e seja bem vindo ao mundo do BTS. Adoro suas reações. 🫰🇧🇷
@@ZoeyGrimm That's still cool. I'm looking forward to them all finishing their service and being back together. I really hope I can see them in concert at least once but I think it's going to be hard to get a ticket. 🙂
Army are Scary thats true cause one word against Bts can even Vanish you from everywhere It won't even take them days but hours ... But at the end of the day they are sweet, intelligent, kind, progressed mind Fan 💜
Hi Ben, I'm so happy you're watching this and knowing that the toxic people in the fandom are a minority. I can vouch that Armies are wonderful people that are always helping each other and BTS as we strive together. I was actually introduced to BTS by an ARMY when I was at my lowest time in life. She introduced me to one of BTS's songs but she didn't mentioned which artist/s that the song was from and told me to just listen to it if I wanted to. I tried listening to it and by the time I knew it I was looking for their names and Albums and it was the best choice I ever made. I can never thank her enough for introducing their music to me as it helps me in keeping strong, motivated, gain my confidence in loving myself and just view life in a much more positive way than it was before. Thus, I also do the same with people around me and introduce them to BTS songs indirectly as she did as I hope that their songs and mission will also help them as they have helped me. And now I can confidently say that my friends and family members are Armies since 2014 and ongoing 😊
The real army is to have respect towards BTS members. They give us music and entertainment and love in return. They don't interfere in our lives. So let's have mutual respect. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I mean we may seem a lil scary at the beginning just to make sure that the person who's speaking about bts doesn't mean no harm to thel but it's just because we wanna protect from anyone and anything, thank you so much ben for reacting to boracity videos they're so helpful and wish other fandoms treat their idols line we treat bts 💜💜
what sucks is that even when protecting bts, some of those "army's" will literally comment hate, some going to the point of death threats to those ppl and their families. It's terrible to see and I wish those ppl didn't use the terrible excuse that they are "protecting bts" as their reason. They are doing exactly what bts would hate and it pushes our bad representation even more :(. If you don't like smth just ignore it!!!
@@prisharai7225 no i totally agree with you like some army's say such bad things till they make the other hate us and BTS so they'll ruin our image, I was just explaining why everyone are scared of us but some how it benefits our boys so no one can talk shit about them 💜
I have heard/seen so many reactors who are iffy about doing BTS reactions for the same reason. The problem is...the toxic "fans" who claim to be ARMY are the loudest. Without this video, without Taylor Mari's "Guide", without SO many others who highlight the good that ARMY does, it can seem very daunting...if not downright scary or terrifying. I wish other reactors would take the time to watch videos like these and see that 99.9% of us ARE nice. As long as you are open and honest with your reactions, we will gladly welcome you and help you on your way down the rabbit hole. People just have to give TRUE ARMY a chance...and Ben, I am so glad you did!
I like that you're reacting to more Boracity videos. May I suggest you the following Boracity's previous videos: 1)BTS vs attendance award shows, 2) trends BTS has created, 3) MORe trends BTS has created, 4) "the next BTS:" why they fail every time, 5) BTS paved the way, why is it so hard to accept it? 6) the elite 4 of south korea and the ones who deny it, 7) the BTS solo promotions: favoritism or proper strategy, 8) how BTS' teamwork makes the dream work, 9) do kpop concepts even make sense?, 10) BTS pictures for the history books, 11) the problem with the "masterminds" behind BTS, 12) about the current smear campaign against BTS. Enjoy!
I could still remember how we illegal streamed with my co-ARMYs when we didn't have money to purchase to watch their live concerts😊really grateful to those ARMYs who took risk just for us to watch their concerts with them~
Ben waiting for your BTS uploads on patreon from a long time 🥺💜 hope you react to MMA 2019 Full Performance & Dimple + Pied Piper Live with lyrics soon those are must watch in the Bora World
We army also we protect BTS juniors 💜💜💜BTS and ARMY will always together and we will growing up old together 💜💜💜BTS juniors is army juniors so we will stand behind and front.... Did i say right Army 💜💪💜💜💜
Ben you should watch BTS Festa Room Live 2021 their vocals sound majestic ❤ the combination of Dimple + Pied Piper Live is also highly recommended with BTS Proof Live
Dear ARMY, can we really appreciate Ben's reaction and actually talk about the contents of the videos in the comment section too ??? About 80% of the comment section is requesting for smth. And worse, I saw mostly the same recommendation 😅. So can we like that comment which recommends what you want to request and talk about the content ? The video literally spoke about how beautiful our fandom and its culture is, why don't we live up to it in this space too ???
Borahaee ARMY ! Have a great day ~ 💜💜💜💜💜
I was thinking exactly the same thing! 👍💜🤗
Agreed
thanks for saying this!! Have a great day🥰💜
So true every time Ben uploads something about our BTS i just click it and watch in an instant. I love Them so much😊💜 Borahae Army💜

I was like “Really?” lol I just ignored it and laughed it off bc for one, they’re in America, at an American award show where they paid tribute to *NSYNC(an American boy band) by performing their iconic song “Bye Bye Bye” and the question referred to Boy Bands not K-pop boy bands/groups… While BTS did pave the way for K-pop groups to transition into the U.S., they didn’t pave the way for boy bands overall. Boy bands existed way before BTS’s time lol it didn’t start or end with them... I never take the toxics seriously, they’re usually kids from this new generation, they’d have to be to say something like that… I still be jamming to The Temptations and Jackson 5 and I was born in '90 liner lol Not all gen z are toxic tho, thank goodness🙏🏽😄
Always here for BTS contents!!
Still waiting for BTS MMA 2019 Full Performance & ARE YOU SURE FULL EPISODES 💜💜
Je sais conscient qu'il y a de nombreux 'Army ici. Je tiens à vous exprimer mon amour et ma fierté de faire partie de cette communauté. Merci, Ben, pour cette vidéo.
Im really happy to have stumbled upon this video. Seing the original video again makes me so happy rn. I really needed this today. You easily get distracted by negative daily news but things like this make my heart feel so warm and full. It’s how I fell in love with the fandom first years ago, the support and love and joint effort. I never expected to like some artists this much, as I never really listened to music. Then I found bts and they became an integral part of my life. So I never expected to fall in love with a fandom at all. But from day 1 I’ve felt the support and love. As someone who knew nothing about the music industry, streaming or anything, I got so much support and help to get around. I love how army’s always try to improve and be better.
I love how bts and army’s became my safe space, my magic shop I can always turn to and seek comfort and happiness and so many more emotions. Their music accompanied me through every important moment of my life since I became an army.
I am one of those ARMY who can go to concerts,don’t have membership,can’t afford album and merchandise,because y priorities are needs not wants,and BTS just wants us to enjoy their music and be an inspirations for each others 💜💜💜
Hope we get a good duration video tomorrow on patreon
We will be waiting Ben 💜 thanks for all the bts contents
Get well soon
Thank you for the reaction
I really love watching those videos with Ben. It's like I'm watching with a friend, as I am the only Army in my friends group this is really wholesome 💜
Saying that "ARMY is dedicated and protective of BTS" is really understatement as proven by all the projects ARMY all over the world did to protect and support Suga on a very trying episode just last month.
I feel like this is the video 📸 I actually need to see . Thank you so much for this video 😊💜
I really appreciate you are now reacting to documentary videos 💜💜💜
I’m so proud of being an ARMY. I can tell that my fellow ARMYs are SO GENEROUS!!! Thank you!!!
I am subscribed to both ur channels on TH-cam and Patreon just for BTS so it makes me happy whenever you try to research more about them 💜 I really hope to see some improvement in the patreon uploads atleast one long video a week or month 😅 or just watch one BTS show or behind the scenes episode anything would work
Bts and Army paved the way
I'm a new kpop fan/Stay and it's sometimes terrifying seeing how fans treat the groups they love, their fandom, and other fandoms. I'm grateful for the shift in kpop fandoms and for the Army setting a good example. These groups deserve fans that respect them as artists and people. We have to encourage the good and call out the bad so they can be safe, happy, and proud of their influence in the world. Thanks Army and decent people everywhere!
9:20 they listen that well?........ Yes we do, but only BTS's order 😅
Yes!💜

Thank you ARMY FOR THIS VIDEO! God bless you. You are amazing. BTS FOREVER . ARMY FAMILY ♾️ FOREVER! BORAHAE!
just dropping a Thank You Ben Kim! I love watching your channel... makes me smile! thank you! that's all!
Yes because the BTS members are so clean in all Their doing they have the right fandom ARMY. Not out of control fandoms, etc.
when i get involved in voluntary works with other army and donate half of what i have i feel like im sharing half of the happiness bangtan gave to me
This video shows the difference between real army and new people claiming to be army. If they don't know or follow these basics, they are fakes no matter when they started posting about the group. We have standards and the way some act badly these days is annoying to the majority of us who like peace.
I have run into several ARMY and they have been so nice it's like being with family members, and I love it. I've never been a person to be a fan of anyone until BTS because they are the first group who aligns with my belief of being a good human being and treating others with respect.
YEAH!!! And we think we all army's belongs from One family so we love each other!!!! 💜🫂
Ben you should watch Most Viewed Kpop Fancams of all times Next ❤ there are many most viewed kpop fancam videos of every year
Yeeesssssss!!!!!
It makes me sad knowing other fandoms team up just to take hits at another. A similar thing happened against SB19 recently. I may be an ELF but I'm also a baby ARMY and I just want to enjoy the music and support the artists in whatever projects they're involved in. 💙💜
Thank you for looking forward with your Ben sharing this video BTS 's Army is widely regarded as one of the biggest and most dedicated fandoms in the world 💜💜 reaction you show's before 🥰 today during reminded back to back
It's so true! ARMY is the most charitable and protective fandom I've ever seen and I've ever been part of as someone who used to stan a lot of artists and groups and also fandoms outside music like actors, sports, etc. ARMYs are great and I'm so proud to be part of it! We really have been changing the fandom culture since the very beginning (I also think our actions are really influenced by BTS' messages and personas) and now you can see others trying to do the same kind of things. Armys are the blueprint!
Of course, there's a percentage of toxic people like in every community and as always they are loud, but it's really the minority compared to how huge we are and for what we are really known outside (not in just an app like twt that is full of toxic people in general and full of stans hating others while pretending to be fans of BTS even though I truly think twt army is the best too)
Came in 3 min💜💜💜💜love U Ben kim
Please react to BTS MAMA 2016 and MMA 2016 it's so iconic
ARMY forever 💜💜💜 I’m so proud of be part of this big community. BTS help me a lot to grow as a real human being, thank you 🙏 BTS and ARMY!!!
I once came across a query email from an international student (ARMY) at the Uni where I work in the UK. She had some issues relating to settling down and her course. She had Jungkook's picture as her pp and BTS. I gave her all the support she needed and extra just in case. I felt like I was helping a younger sister.
So true! Thank you for watching this, Ben 💜.
I love the fact that she said all the good sides of army cause many people say that all of us are toxic💜
Beennn please watch most viewed K-pop fancams of all the time 😭😭🥺
Why am I crying ?
I miss OT7 so much.
Omg same here,why did I cry? could it be that I miss BTS too much?😢
M BTS Heart cant take these many BTS Videos!! Thank you Ben! 😭💜
bts mma 2019 FULL PERFORMANCE is a must the scale is huge and Dimple + Pied Piper Live too🔥🔥 it's on another level I actually would love if you dive more into their bside tracks like Magic shop & Answer: Love Myself Live the meaning is so touching
Thanks Ben, for listening to the channel of truth, boracity magazine. I really appreciate your steps to know Bangtan and ARMYs more. I really like this content a lot. Thanks man...
Ben its high time you should react to BTS MMA 2019 full Performance & Dimple + Pied Piper Live with eng subs 💜🔥 both are iconic
For kpop i would recommend Most Viewed Kpop fancams of all time
Woooow Ben we getting bts content everyday am I dreaming 😭
Bts MMA 2019 full performance reaction 💜💜
I love you army you guys makes me feel that I should too so something good . Really I am not employed yet but even I will I am going to contribute to you guys . I really thank you guys for being this good and kind and make me feel so proud I love you guys . Just cutt off the toxicity and focus on good
why did i cry? i dont know, thanks ben
i feel like a real Army would have BTS back and supports them and their life decisions. No Matter What.
Thank you for this video Ben! When I first started to stan BTS I too was terrified of ARMY. But as time went on I realised they are just protective of the BTS members. I feel the BTS ARMY is just misunderstood. Of course not everyone is perfect and there may be few toxic people or haters posing as fans.
APOBANGPO 💜
Thank you Ben for reacting to Boracity 💜
The way Ben goes ‘mmmm’ deep in agreement, wholesome
I also had a negative idea of army until I stepped into it.
Wow! The kindest and most welcoming, most diverse and most patient individuals.
I listen to so much different artists and many fanbases will judge and ridicule new fans for not knowing certain things, they'll even gatekeep. But ARMY welcomes and embraces everyone. There's always someone in the comments willing to explain or translate for baby army so that you can understand the content and enjoy the inside joke. I also love how we flood any BTS collaborators with so much love and positivity on their socials even when their fans are trashing our boys (this is still hard for me to do and I now avoid That Kid Laroi's Twitter page 😅😅😅) I am still growing as an ARMY
So proud to be a BTS ARMY! Other ARMY are just so amazing! I live in Wisconsin and my 10 year old daughter and I went to the D-Day movie when it came out. ARMY were so kind and gave us gifts of photo card packets they made 💜I have a lot of BTS stickers on my car and get lots of honks and Korean hearts at me on the roadways💜🥰
Sou army do Brasil e fico muito feliz quando alguém procura saber e entender o que acontece com os ídolos e seus fãs. Parabéns e seja bem vindo ao mundo do BTS.
Adoro suas reações. 🫰🇧🇷
I enjoyed your reaction and finding out things I didn't know about. Happy newish Army here.💜
Since when are you an Army?💜
@@ZoeyGrimm Hi Only about two years. I'm still discovering things which is great. How about you? 🙂
@@sallylonghurst4414 Wow, than than that's already quite a long time😁 I became an Army only last year in August🤗
@@ZoeyGrimm That's still cool. I'm looking forward to them all finishing their service and being back together. I really hope I can see them in concert at least once but I think it's going to be hard to get a ticket. 🙂
@@sallylonghurst4414 I'm also very excited for them to come back😁😎 But yeah, we are going to be in war if it comes to tickets for the Concert🥲😂
I just want to say - ARMY is so cool. Thank you.
Love the reaction 💜
Thank you Ben 💜 , true we are adorable 😊
Yes didn’t had a disney to watch ays but armys posted it for free am thankful 😭
Army are Scary thats true cause one word against Bts can even Vanish you from everywhere It won't even take them days but hours ...
But at the end of the day they are sweet, intelligent, kind, progressed mind Fan 💜
I am so proud to be ARMY. BTS and ARMY are amazing. ☺️✨️🫶🏼💜🔥
Hi Ben, I'm so happy you're watching this and knowing that the toxic people in the fandom are a minority.
I can vouch that Armies are wonderful people that are always helping each other and BTS as we strive together.
I was actually introduced to BTS by an ARMY when I was at my lowest time in life.
She introduced me to one of BTS's songs but she didn't mentioned which artist/s that the song was from and told me to just listen to it if I wanted to.
I tried listening to it and by the time I knew it I was looking for their names and Albums and it was the best choice I ever made.
I can never thank her enough for introducing their music to me as it helps me in keeping strong, motivated, gain my confidence in loving myself and just view life in a much more positive way than it was before.
Thus, I also do the same with people around me and introduce them to BTS songs indirectly as she did as I hope that their songs and mission will also help them as they have helped me.
And now I can confidently say that my friends and family members are Armies since 2014 and ongoing 😊
The real army is to have respect towards BTS members. They give us music and entertainment and love in return. They don't interfere in our lives. So let's have mutual respect. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Proud Army here from Melbourne Australia 💜
I mean we may seem a lil scary at the beginning just to make sure that the person who's speaking about bts doesn't mean no harm to thel but it's just because we wanna protect from anyone and anything, thank you so much ben for reacting to boracity videos they're so helpful and wish other fandoms treat their idols line we treat bts 💜💜
what sucks is that even when protecting bts, some of those "army's" will literally comment hate, some going to the point of death threats to those ppl and their families. It's terrible to see and I wish those ppl didn't use the terrible excuse that they are "protecting bts" as their reason. They are doing exactly what bts would hate and it pushes our bad representation even more :(. If you don't like smth just ignore it!!!
@@prisharai7225 no i totally agree with you like some army's say such bad things till they make the other hate us and BTS so they'll ruin our image, I was just explaining why everyone are scared of us but some how it benefits our boys so no one can talk shit about them 💜
as a ARMY i can honestly say that some ARMYS are very histeric and obsessive.
I have heard/seen so many reactors who are iffy about doing BTS reactions for the same reason.
The problem is...the toxic "fans" who claim to be ARMY are the loudest.
Without this video, without Taylor Mari's "Guide", without SO many others who highlight the good that ARMY does, it can seem very daunting...if not downright scary or terrifying.
I wish other reactors would take the time to watch videos like these and see that 99.9% of us ARE nice.
As long as you are open and honest with your reactions, we will gladly welcome you and help you on your way down the rabbit hole. People just have to give TRUE ARMY a chance...and Ben, I am so glad you did!
Seeing this makes me more proud of being an ARMY, I'm so glad I found out about BTS in 2016💜💜💜
I like that you're reacting to more Boracity videos. May I suggest you the following Boracity's previous videos: 1)BTS vs attendance award shows, 2) trends BTS has created, 3) MORe trends BTS has created, 4) "the next BTS:" why they fail every time, 5) BTS paved the way, why is it so hard to accept it? 6) the elite 4 of south korea and the ones who deny it, 7) the BTS solo promotions: favoritism or proper strategy, 8) how BTS' teamwork makes the dream work, 9) do kpop concepts even make sense?, 10) BTS pictures for the history books, 11) the problem with the "masterminds" behind BTS, 12) about the current smear campaign against BTS. Enjoy!
The thumbnail is so cute 🥰💜
I’m crying I mean ofc we army are like this cuz of our artist BTS
ARMY is so amazing!!!!!!!
This made my day❤️❤️
I could still remember how we illegal streamed with my co-ARMYs when we didn't have money to purchase to watch their live concerts😊really grateful to those ARMYs who took risk just for us to watch their concerts with them~
Ben waiting for your BTS uploads on patreon from a long time 🥺💜 hope you react to MMA 2019 Full Performance & Dimple + Pied Piper Live with lyrics soon those are must watch in the Bora World

Thank you for the content
