Military update---Jin has reached the rank of sergeant & is an assistant training instructor, J-Hope is a corporal & is also an instructor, Yoongi is doing alternate service due to his past shoulder injury. He is doing his service in Seoul and will serve 3 months longer than the others. The last 4 have been promoted to private first class. Jimin & Jungkook enlisted together as companion soldiers & are serving in the artillery on the same base where Jin is stationed. Taehyung is in a special unit that protects the capital & Namjoon is in a mountainous region near the 38th parallel. They have numerous awards & are adapting well. It would seem that they excel at everything they do.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
😢😭😭 Thanks for these updates. Be healthy and happy always, our precious BTS. 💜
I appreciate this update. was thinking about Jin today.💜💜
@@Cherryblossomd Jin has just 2 months left to serve. YAY & Borahae
@@karenbierle7682 In the meantime we have wonderful recent content from V and Jhope (ft JK too!) 💜
Taehyung is not in the special forces protecting the capital, he is in the military police l believe. R M is in the military band and plays saxaphone.
It's over 1,000 now along with 31 Guinness world Records, 5 Grammy nominations and many firsts that can never be broken as they are firsts.
Just paving the way ❤for
OST = Original Sound Track
I thought it was pretty obvious by OST and he said OTS 😂
People from other generations used to call it just "soundtrack" in full name or just the "main song" so the acronim caught us off-guard.
There are many popular acronims nowadays that were just fully pronounce by Millenials (we are the generation that went from mobile phone to smartphone and many of us got our first mobile in adulthood so we could not change spoken language for written language) ✌️🫂
@@AlfonsoEspinaI had never heard a soundtrack called OST until I started watching Kdramas and listening to Kpop....in Canada as far as I know we always just say soundtrack and there is no acronym.
STRAY KIDS IS THE KING OF KPOP...
@@himaririku9254 woww HAHAHAHA
That IQ puts him in the top 1.3% of the population so yes it's genius level. He's a polyglot and yes they were speaking Japanese in that bit.
The "average" IQ is 100. Genius begins at 130 - that is MENSA material.
But the test needs to be done in your mother tongue and not an online test to be sure. The tests become more inaccurate the farther you are from 100.
1.3% in South Korea, not the world. This statistic isn't known. He's still genius level! 💕
@@vcwloves9864 Yes Genius level he is indeed and I was referring to his own country when I said top 1.3%. An IQ of 148 is indeed level entry genius level.
When it says he is 1.3% top in his country is NOT about his IQ, it's about the results in the national exam.
@@priiifrg yes the national exams for the whole country which means he was in the top 1.3% of that years whole country exam results which says he's highly intelligent even at that age and would be able to get into one of the top 3 South Korean Universities. The Super league the Elite of Further Education establishments. It's like us Brits getting into Oxford or Cambridge or Americans getting into Harvard.
RM born 1994 and Nathan graduated high school 1996 😂😂😂😂 his expression was so hilarious 😭💜💜💜💜
All babies. I was born in the 60's.
Same. I graduated in 1993. 😅
could almost be his dad....same like Seo Taiji or PSY...let's make Nathan feel old :) I could be and am ARMY grandma! borahae
I graduated 1997, and yes I remember Nathan's boy band 😂
OST, Korean or otherwise, means original soundtrack. ✌️💜
Actually, the ages they mention are the Korean ages. So in international age JK was only 13 (going on 14) when he joined as a trainee and 15 (going on 16) when they debuted.
Throga channel invited Taylor as a guest and it was fascinating to hear how she put this documentary together. I never get tired of watching it.
That was great. I watched it also.
Right? I’ve watched it an absurd number of times; it never gets old. I just feel proud of them all over again and hyped up to support them.
OH! Can someone please link the interview video. I really want to watch it.

I HIGHLY suggest you to watch their MAMA awards performance. You think award show, you think of grammy right? Nahhhh korean award show is ANOTHER LEVEL ITS INSANELYYY GOOD. Its not even award show its a WHOLE CONCERT 😂
This
Yes!!!!!
YESSS I AGREE
So true!
I agree! They are on another level.
Suga's real name is Min Yoongi. In fact, fans often call his real name more often.
and Suga is someone who really loves music and piano. he even wrote a song about the relationship between the piano and himself.
check Suga's performance during the tour..he plays the piano in life goes on and plays the guitar in the song seesaw
He also plays different instruments on the D-Day documentary performances. That documentary is on Disney+ or can be purchased directly from Weverse.
That performance of Life Goes On was so moving.
Was not gonna tell him about the real name. 😅
There’s another shorter guide to BTS that might answer a lot of the questions you were asking. It’s by Rice Squad and is called The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS. It tells more about how they were formed and their discography and how they grew over time to get where they are now. It’s very well done and it doesn’t have a lot of reading.
Oh, thank you for this info.
I am older ARMY at 68. I saw them twice in Chicago; United Center 2018 and Soldier Field 2019. It was the experience of a lifetime!
i've watched the bangtan 7 video hundreds of time but I still watched your reaction, just like many other armies :)
Lol Hundreds here too
Ditto!!
There's a new guide by ARMY up to date to Feb 2024. It's called A Helpful Guide to the BTS members or something like that. It has some of this same information, but different footage and covers the new solo work. Spreading the word!
It's great to see you watching this, Nathan. There's a lot of stuff that's somewhat glossed over that explains their success. They were pioneers because of putting rappers with vocalists and ended up hated by both sides. The three big companies with money were able to buy tv slots, but BigHit had no money. Bang Si-Hyuk (aka Bang PD) wanted them to write their own music from their hearts, whereas the Big Three shoved kids through tough, almost abusive, training, then handed them shallow music to perform. By allowing them to write their own, they challenged Korean societal issues (unheard of) and personal issues (also unheard of) which added to the hate they received. cang was a visionary, and was able to choose extremely talented boys - one requirement was the ability to get along, though they had teenage issues too. The boys (men now) had big dreams too, would practice 16 hours, then rap or practice more hours on their own. They had to be perfect in order to build a fan base. The media found excuses to attack, they couldn't get radio play in the US because of racism and payola, and on and on. Some of their songs have a lot of anger expressed toward these haters, with symbolism, such as mic drop, fire, and the cyphers. Suga was mad all the way through Haegeum. So they persisted and persisted. The 1.3 million viewers at that concert is cool. I watched Suga's live paid concerts and there were 6 million. Their government asked them to do a free online concert in fall of 2022 and 60 million computers etc logged in, breaking the server.
Anyway, there is so much to their backstory and content that it's hard to comprehend. The mention of vacations and such came in their later years, they didn't take a break for 5 years. They lived together 8 years, finally getting their own apts in about 2020. I have never seen a group so tightly bonded, not family, not the girls I took on wilderness trips, not my best friends. They truly love and support each other.
I'm sorry this is so long. For a lot of people it's the only documentary they watch, and it's not complete.
While I haven't seen it yet I hear it is rather dry and in some ways incorrect?
Wasn't it even taken down? Or was that temporary?
Having rappers on the team is normal in Idol music - just not usually what people can call "real" rappers.
They were hated because they were from a small company and succeeded over Idols from bigger labels with a big fandom/company stans.
Dirty PR is very common in Idol music. Asian Entertainment and Culture made a vid about it.
The rapline is not up to Idol beauty standards - which is important in SK - and rappers considered underground rappers becoming Idols as "selling out" and not being real rappers anymore because Idols are not exactly considered artists or musicians in Idol music.
And than there were their lyrics and having no outside producers etc.
bby gang mag has an interesting video essays:
- BTS: More than K-pop
- you are wrong about K-pop
Side-note: do not trust weverse viewer numbers: it's impossible to have more viewers in the live-stream than subscribers. It's likely that every reload in counted as a new viewer.
You nice! Keep going! 💜
Lots of great info in your comment. One point where I beg to differ is that they could get along. There are plenty of times that BTS has talked about how they argued when they were living together in the early years. However, what also happened was Band PD and/or their other managers taught them how to resolve their conflicts. You can see if in their Honey FM radio shows, for example, when they would talk about the frustrations they had with one another. And they also learned to give compliments to one another. At the end of the Bon Voyage seasons and other occasions they often wrote letters to one another that praised one another and demonstrated their love. We could all learn a lot from their example! 💜
@@ruthfischer7615 Oh, dry~ maybe that was the problem. I didn't like that new guide.
I didn't like this "new" guide - it copies a lot (sometimes almost word for word) from Taylor's guide and doesn't add much value. I believe Taylor is planning to release an update (in 2025?) to cover the period while they're in the military.
@@ktredmane1209 Oh~ I hope so! Taylor's guide had so much care put into it. So, I bet the new one from her will be good, too.
1:08:56 that's Home, one of my favorite BTS songs, and Jimin's tone really shines in it
Tonight Show performance is so fun
In this vudeo, the Korean firm of calculating age is used. That system has you become 1 on the day you ate born, then on the following January you become 2, and add a year each January. So V, who was born on December 30th became 2 yrs old, 3 days later. The Korean government passed a law that instituted the global age system that went into effect in 2023. As you watch other videos, whenever the guys mention their age, it will be their Korean age unless they specify that they are using global age.
Therefore, JungKook was not 15 when he signed as a trainee in 2011 and left home. He was still 13. He was 15 when he debuted. In fact, 5 of them were still in their teens when they debuted with only Suga and Jin being 20.
Thank you for this information!!! Appreciate it. I didn't understand the 1 or 2 years difference until reading your explanation. 💜 I knew it was 1 year or sometimes 2 years, but didn't know why.
People became collectivly one year older on the *Lunar* New Year.
That makes for a unique situation in a still on Kunfuzinian social worth system: chingu aka. people born in the same year friends are the only ones who can truly be socially equal.
When you wonder why 2 Idols who seemingly have nothing in common from label/groups are friends the answer is most likely they were born in the same year.
It is one of the reasons why Jimin and Taehyung are that close from early in their career.
(P.S. While it is true that JK was scouted when he was 13 it was only a few month of of 14 - and I think he moved in in summer of 2011. We have seen his 16th birthday celebration and it was ca. 2,5 months after debut.)
🖐I've been to 5 BTS concerts and 1 AGUST'D. The vibe in unbeliable. ARMY is friendly and amazing. Im 47, and i can't wait for 2025. Im ready for more concerts!
Hobi has 10 million Spotify followers (now 17million) because Hobi has record breaking mixtape, album and many other solo songs. Which you haven't explored yet. He has song writing credit of 139 songs.He is a dancer, rapper, singer, song writer, producer, and has exceptional stage presence, he is really an ace. Really versatile arist. So no need to wonder about Spotify followers 😊He is called BTS's fashionista. He carries any fashion gracefully. He is BTS's dance leader. And also called second leader(performance) of BTS.
Yes, I don't understand the question either. J-Hope is a unique artist with over 100 songwriting credits, just like RM and Suga. In addition, hes record really great, diverse albums, together with JK they are the golden members of BTS. He has probably the best stage presence in k-pop, people love his music as well as his personality. And there are still people who still underestimate him. Wake up people!
@@ivka4762he was slept on, even by members in the fandom, for a very very long time. I think it's only in the last couple years people have started to give him the recognition and appreciation he deserves.
I wish he could react to Hobi at Lollapalooza 😍😍😍
@@kazy2006 I think it's pointless. This reactor doesn't seem to like J-Hope. I have no idea why. Before, he reacting to all the members repeatedly, only J-Hope only once and that was just for our notice. And now he has this inappropriate comment. What can be done, we can't force him, it's his pity.
My daughter introduced me to BTS about 6 years ago. Since then I been hooked. I LOVE BTS! My daughter and I have been fortunate to attend 3 of their concerts. Would've been 4 if not for the 2020 covid pandemic. However, in addition, we also attended Suga's (my bias) solo concert last year in Los Angeles. We are anxiously waiting their return in 2025. BTW I'm 52 years old, Native American and LOVE BTS!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🫶🫰
My husband, my sister, and I went to a BTS concert in 2022 when they were in Las Vegas. It was amazing. We're not young, haha, but we saw other old people there. I loved all the light sticks that were controlled by the concert people. That was awesome. There were other BTS related things going on in Las Vegas, which was fun. Jin had just had surgery on his finger, so he was supposed to sit and not participate in some of the choreography, but he wasn't in his chair very much. The poor guy. I could tell he just wanted to be out there performing. It was an awesome concert and I hope I can go to another one when they're back together in the future.
A Visual is a Kpop star who is the main one to sell the story of the song. Soulful looks and such. Hard to explain as we don't have an equivalent in the US. The 'pretty guy' but also an actor.
The old old OLD Videos are still on their TH-cam channel if you look, where they goof around or talk about things and of course alot of that is clipped into compilations all over TH-cam. RM once was live and Jimin was bored so kept dancing up against the translucent wall behind him and RM gave the camera his long suffering expression.
Junkkook if you watch the RunBTS series, is good at EVERYTHING except waking up. He's fast, agile, very strong, sings like an angel, dances, plays several instruments and is a very good artist and also does martial arts... That is why he's the Golden Maknae.
RM is legendary for breaking things. You can find many clip compilations of it like when he broke a crank handle while making a guest appearance on a show. They even wrote it into the script in the RunBTS episode where they make their own short video. He does NOT cook well so they usually give him jobs cutting vegetables in order to minimize injuries. And is why he rides a bike and does not drive.
In the early days V was somewhat of a rebel. RM has a story of sneaking out with V to get ice cream cones when they were meant to be dieting and the Managers catching them. In the RunBTS series he is often doing odd things so much that noone thinks twice about it if he does something unusual, which lets him get away with a lot when he's the Spy but also often makes him seem like the Spy when he's not.
We know that J hope is training newer recruits, V is in advanced training for Special Ops, Suga's old shoulder injury meant he is in alternate service rather than the military. I'm not sure exactly what but it often is things like teaching. RM and V both were in the top of their class.
I like your honest liking for BTS so keep it up! Ive never been to a live concert but watched two online concerts and saw the Busan Concert in theatres. Suga's D-Day tour is coming to theatres so you should go see that.
Suga is the epitome of resilience and strength from the pain and struggles he had to weather. Just recently he expressed that he has made peace with his past, and it makes me so damn proud of him. He really is someone to admire, and is so very talented. I love him so much.
Yes I love Suga so much. He's so so resilient and just full of wisdom!❤
All the guys are now serving in the military. Jimin and Jungkook applied together in the "buddy system" in which they will be eachother's companion through the whole 18 months of service. It's a system for close friends and family members, and them deciding to apply for it shows how close they are. I'm so happy that they have eachother and can rely on eachother there.
jimin doesn't need anyone to rely on, he's soldier n1, jk does. this is the reason why jimin had to go with him and babysit that manchild
@@jminminx Please don’t be rude. It gives me peace of mind that the Busan bros can look out for each other. I look forward to all members serving well and returning to ARMY healthy and wiser in 2025. 💜
@@jminminx They all are almost 30 now, no one needs to babysit another. They have lived 24/7-365 together for more than 10y so, if they have decided to go together, that doesn't mean they gonna babysit the other, it's actually good that they got each other's company while serving 18 months.
They brought Jimin in because he was/is an extremely good dancer who could be acrobatic(something no other Idol group had) and his voice was/is very unique/special and his voice ‘capped off’ the harmonies of the other 3 vocalists.
🤚 wife, daughter, and I . BTS live is the best experience 💜
Borahae is a mashup of the word for purple and Saragae, which means I love you. Jimin almost didn't make it into the group, in an interview (Let's BTS) he said that he was nearly cut on multiple occasions. Bang PD said in the Monuments Documentary that he wasn't sure that Jimin belonged in the group but staff convinced him otherwise. And there's another recent video on the Hybe TH-cam where RM credits a staff member for advocating to keep Jimin and that "without Jimin it would have been a disaster" although we don't have more on quite what he meant by that statement. We've seen Jimin with Bang PD and clearly there's no hard feelings. On Suchwita with Suga & Jimin, Suga said he told the staff that they were making a mistake in training Jimin to rap, and has said that Jimin's voice is to his taste and he knew Jimin would have a unique vocal quality if developed.
The reason was that Jimin was untrained and they wanted to debut soon and already having cut most non-debut trainees.
Jimin danced the wrong style instinctivly/held himself wrong and because of circumstances most likely did not get individual vocal lessons.
So debuting him was a risk.
Everyone knew that.
It turned out a good idea as BTS is 7 and with one member missing they would never had that synergy.
What a great comment
Suga has a whole song dedicated to the love of his first piano, called "First Love." You should totally check it out! He's also played live on stage several times, including at his most recent AgustD concerts with "Life Goes On." I also recommend checking that out. It was brilliant!
ETA: JHope recently choreographed the back up dances for one of AgustD's songs that he performed at his concert. I could be wrong, but I also think he did some of the choreo for BTS's live performances of "Baepsae." He also has Hope on the Street coming out soon about different dance styles!
ETA2: Long Military Update: Jin and JHope are killing it as drill instructors. They both also achieved a "special forces" status which allowed them to rank up faster. Jin should be getting out sometime in the next few months. Because of a previous injury, Suga was deemed unfit for regular combat duty, so he's serving as a social service agent. He'll be in longer than the rest because of that. He's gone really quiet since joining, and I total respect that. I hope people let him finish his service in peace. The others I believe are out of basic training now. V has joined the military police corps...which I think is very similar to the US version of MPs. Both him and RM graduated basic with a special recognition as "elite" trainees, which is apparently only given to 5 out of every 200 recruits. Not sure what RM's job is after basic. Jimin and Jungkook chose to do a special enlistment that keeps them together. They actually trained under the same unit where Jin is a trainer. Not sure what their assigned job is, if they have them yet. I know there's stalkers out there that probably know more. But I like to wait for official news via official channels. So yeah, there's a relatively recent update. As an USAF spouse...I'm so insanely proud of them. I know how hared the military life is, but it's not surprising at all that they're kicking ass and doing so well. Those guys can conquer anything, if they put their minds to it.
Like Namjoon and Taehyung graduating as Elite Soldiers...Jimin was also #1 in his graduating class and received an Exemplary Award from his commander. He is also eligible for 2 month early promotion and a 5 day vacation.
@@marygalligan6455 That's awesome!
@@anlicsceadu I wasn't sure if you were aware. I adore all the guys but every time I see someone writing about their military achievements Jimin gets looped in with Jk. His award never gets mentioned, I don't no why! I wasn't trying to be a smart ass. Just something I have noticed. So I am going to assume your comment wasn't a dig. I hope you have a Lovely Day...✌💜
@@marygalligan6455 I was not aware! So thank you so much for sharing! 😊
@@anlicsceadu 😊
OST stands for Original SoundTrack. In Korea, TV soundtracks sell a lot of albums, and there are a lot of solo musicians who mostly just do songs for soundtracks.
I think there is also an Oscar to get in that category.
OST are also in the West very much liked and exist for most TV series and movies. Stranger Things for example helped the success from older songs to chart high.
The most beautiful life goes on by Rice squad shows the timeline of how BTS were formed and the timeline of their albums and when they started gaining momentum in the US
Watching BTS perform is like watching a smash Tony-Award-Winning Broadway musical, but better - much, much better. That's why the BTS audience is composed of children to great grandparents. Sheer talent.
4. Jin. Visual. His looks. He Never danced or sang before BTS! His voice teacher discovered his magnificent voice. He told her he couldn't sing. He was shocked when he found out he could! His voice is my favorite. He is the only one who can belt out songs! OST. Original Sound Track. In the military. They are all excelling. Winning top honors as the best soldier in their units. They all have been promoted! Suga has a desk job. Civil job due to his shoulder injury. They didn't want to risk further injury.
What people forget:
That is normal for Idol trainees:
Who did not dance: Namjoon, Jin, Yoongi, Taehyung, Jungkook
Who danced the wrong style and had to be corrected: Jimin
Who did not rap: Hoseok, Jungkook
Who did not sing: Jin, Hoseok, Jimin, Taehyung, Jungkook
(who did not get any real singing lessons till years into his career: Jimin)
And no, Jin is NOT the only one who can "belt".
Nothing wrong with having a favorite/bias/beloved voice - except when you take stuff out of context and give people a false impression.
Jin has a very beautiful voice.
Lol JIMIN gets the most high and 2nd voice (harmonize) parts of BTS songs.
My kids and I have been to two concerts. Most amazing experience ever!
At Yoongi's online concerts we were more than 5 million paid viewers. Jungkook's online concert for his album Golden was free - for online viewers and for in person viewers.We were almost 12.5 million watching online.
This video is out of date, but it's a great intro to who they are and why we all love them.
I can't remember how many viewers there were at the 2022 Busan online concert which was again free for everyone...i do think the servers broke a few times...they were 10s of millions watching for sure. Maybe someone can tell you exactly how many there were.
When Jungkook goes live... Omg...we were 17 million people listening to him snore live. 17 million...way more than what the audience for the Grammy's ever was. 17 million people listening to him snore ...
I think this should tell you exactly who BTS are for Army and why the love we have for each other is so deep.
I admire their talent and their work ethic very much. Knowing how much they worked to be where they are and to get others there too... My respect for them has no boundaries. 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜
Later edit: check out their concerts on Disney+ and Prime. There are also J-Hope's and Yoongi' (Agust D) documentaries on Disney+. I highly recommend watching them.
Between 10 and 13th of April there will be a movie shown in cinemas around the world - it's about Yoongi 's solo tour. You will absolutely love it. I've seen all his live concerts on Weverse and ... Yeah..you should go! At the end of March, on Prime, J-Hope's second documentary will be shown too.
If you have time, check out some of the Run BTS episodes - they are on TH-cam, on BangtanTV channel. You'll understand better why we love them. My favourites are the zombie episode and the last 2. Comedy gold!
The lights at the concert are the official lightsticks called Army Bombs and they connect via Bluetooth to an app and they all light up at the same time forming patterns. I cannot wait to go see them in concert. Even if you are not a fan, I think you'll love it.
Download the Weverse app and subscribe to BTS - they have tons of content there and you can watch the past lives of all the members with subtitles. I recommend the ones with all of them and Jungkook's because he always sings to us. There is one that is 4 hours long...where he talks to us and sings to us....Man, I miss that dude so much!
Weverse numbers are not reliable.
Every reload - lag being a reason - is a new viewer. Because the number of watchers can't actually be over the number of subscribers.
That and I think some people sometimes think that the cheers are different people but you can cheer as often as you want - and likely create more lag and break-downs.
@@ruthfischer7615 They have been reliable for a while as they changed the rules- i am referring to view counts for past lives.
Not sure what you mean by subscribers. Currently there are over 25 mil people "subscribed" to BTS' channel on Weverse and I am sure not everyone is a registered fan, i.e. pay for membership. As for the live audience, there were tickets available for non-paying membership people. As on the app there are millions more fans for the other artists, still don't understand what you mean...
The numbers I gave here are the real ones as I have seen them in real time with my own two eyes. I am also sure others are able to confirm them.
PS The cheers is a different story and has nothing to do with the view count.
@@ruthfischer7615 We must also consider for these concert livestreams that one Weverse login may have MORE THAN ONE viewer on that link, like a family or group of friends watching together. So yeah, it is hard to have an accurate count. 💜
Some facts: BTS currently has cec With 900 accumulated prizes, all members speak English and Japanese. Jin spends his life eating to help Armys with eating disorders.
In the MV for the song Boy with lov, in the part where Jin sings "be my teacher" we see in the choreography Suga pointing at JHope and vice versa... they did it like that because Suga helped Jhope with the rap and JHope helped Suga with the dance.
.🇧🇷💜
Jungkook debuted when he was 15 but he was a trainee at the age of 13 and that's pretty young. At that age i was doing nothing but stuffing my face with food🥲
haha.. ain't that the truth.. I feel you, cause that was me too.. 😂🙋♂
At that age my favorite pastime was sleeping. 😂
Yes the connection with BTS is beyond the music. They started doing vlogs before they debuted and just shared everything they were going through, feelings etc. and one just ends up loving them as people and rooting for them.
🙋♀I was blessed to see them twice. I traveled to the shows by myself but never felt alone, surrounded by ARMY from all over the world. All of us loving and being loved by these seven gentlemen. They put on an amazing show and give 100%. I'll always be thankful to live on earth at the same time as BTS. Really enjoyed your personal commentary and watching you watch this! I agree with the other comments about watching the other video, The most beautiful life goes on, it will compliment this one nicely.
Min Yoongi is Suga's real name!
You can see many of their previous lives on Weverse. After the initial posting, there are subtitles, but I have watched many times not knowing what they are saying (I only know English). They sing, dance, fold laundry, do arts and crafts, eat, drink and play games and just share everything. I don't know how anyone who gets to know them wouldn't want to be best friends with them. Each one is unique, talented, humble, and honest. It's refreshing. I'm 55 now and they comfort me and make me joyful in times of depression, or pain or just stress. Can't wait for them to return to their creativity after their service.
I wish them so much happiness and contentment for the rest of their lives. I just love them, apobangpo! Borahae! 💜
Omg Nathan!!! Thank you so much for reacting to this! I can’t wait 🙏🏼💜💜💜
Suga plays the piano and guitar, he actually composed the song "first love" as a love song to his piano. He is a sweetheart.
He said that many people think hes cold or mean but hes just a huge softy who gets excited over little things like kittens and puppies. He said he seemed angry in his 20's and that he wants to now live his 30's as a much softer person. He wrote about how he wasn't loved enough as a child so hes the cautious type in his song "people pt.2".
Pre debut he had multiple part time jobs and he would try to sell his songs that he wrote but people would steal them from him. He said it was a constant struggle being an underground artist, he had to chose between 2 dollar instant noodles for dinner or a bus ticket. If he ate he would have to walk hours back to his home. In that interview where they were disrespecting him and Rm, they asked him what it is he is trying to do and he said that he wanted to make underground and mainstream as one because he doesn't want others to suffer the way he did, he said he was starving everyday just trying to work for his dreams. Actually during one of Sugas side jobs when he was a delivery boy he got hit by a car and it shattered his shoulder. He was afraid the company wouldn't take him in so he hid it at first but when they found out they decided to pay his college tuition. He went almost 7 years without surgery and it got so bad he couldn't even pick up a water bottle but he still worked his ass off and performed like it was nothing. He fortunately got shoulder surgery back in 2020 and he is feeling much better. I dont want to focus too much on their hardships because people tend to do that and i know the boys dont want us to worry, they are much happier now and are healthy. They have grown so much and i am so proud of them. They have always been there for eachother and they are like family now. They always mention their love and appreciation for eachother and it is never forced. They even got matching 7 tattoos to show their loyalty and love towards one another. Suga got his 7 tattoo on his injured shoulder next to his scar :) They're strong bond makes me so happy and i am so thankful that they found one another. They went through everything together and have supported eachother. They even signed a third contract as a group for another decade, so yes they will be back as a group in 2025. They always talk about it and get so excited thinking about all the fun memories they will make once they are back as a group. Im sorry for the long comment but i hope this helped you understand their bond as brothers a little more.
Nothing beats an army bomb wave. Best concert with the happiest fans. You have to see the MAMA magic too. WOW.
There will be a play in cinemas of D Day, Suga s Concert finale. On April 10. It is going to be world-wide, maybe you can go. That tour was amazing
and April 13 💜
Jin is coming back in June 12.
🙋🏽♀️I’ve been fortunate enough to attend 3 concerts, and it’s the absolute BEST 3 hours you’ll ever spend! The energy of ARMY hours before the concert, during and after is AMAZING!! It’s a whole experience. If you get a chance to go, take it!
You want to go to a show?!?
1. save up $500
2. Get 10 devices
3. Try to get tickets before sold out
I only spent $300 😂
So I guess me being at a BTS concert will never happen for me. The most I ever spent on concert tickets was $50 bucks to see Tina Turner back in 2000. I love my boys, but I knew ever since I seen a concert or screen that actually being there would be a pipe dream.
@@user-yx2nz8eu5o unless you get the tickets as soon as they are released. The tickets start at $50. Have all your family set up on different devices.
that is what happened to JIn. In fact it happened twice. once when he was in High School and he thought it was a scam so didn't follow through, and this time, with BTS. The international plastic surgeon ass. has named him the most perfect face as he has golden or perfect margins on his face and is so perfect they now use him as a standard. OST is original sound track.
JIn is doing so well and is now a commander which I believe is as high as he can go as enlisted. He trains the newbies and it's reported by other military that he is much loved and respected. also you googled OTS, not OST.
Yes I am so proud of Jin... he's beautiful too... inside/out....love him!❤
Min Yoongi is the real name. You can call him however you want.. and please listen to snooze with Woosung and Sakamoto
🙋♀️I’ve seen BTS live six times. They are mind-blowingly incredible. As soon as they are out of the military and performing again, I will be there, no matter where it is. 💜
When you said "are all 5 of them in the military" i got a bit sad because you were probably thinking about your old group. Life is full of nostalgia
I love the shock and amazement to BTS that reactors get the first time they do a BTS reaction. BTS has a way of sucking you into their world.
you have to react "BTS MMA 2019" it was their greatest and shocking live performance ever!
I agree with this. It was stunning to watch. I was told it is a combination of prerecorded and live performances which is why there is seemingly seamless costume and set changes.
I went to the November 28, 2022 concert in Los Angeles. Beyond any concert I have ever seen! These men are beyond compare in so many ways.
All 7 members of BTS are serving in the South Korean military. Yoongi, Suga is performing Civil Service. They have all posted on Weverse during their service. Each has mentioned missing the 7 of them together. They all love oen another and will be able to make solo music and group music.
BigHit auditioned and signed many young people, guys and gals, as trainees. For instance RM and Suga became trainees in 2010. The group members were picked from among the trainees to form BTS. There are interviews where Jimin spoke about the possibility he faced of being let go while a trainee. I recall watching a video with the guys and a solo artist who had been a trainee at the same time they were trainees.
1:04:07 i saw them live dec 2021 at sofi in LA. Im 51, best concert ive ever seen. Its a magical experience i hope every ARMY gets to experience. 💜

My daughter actually traveled from Sydney to London to attend the bts concert at Wembley and was part of the crowd that sang to them. Very emotional and everyone was crying, what an experience and every time I hear it I think how lucky she was ☺️
Thank you for watching. 🙌🏻
Jungkook was 13 when he joined. He also occasionally slept in the closet like your member. That's why he calls his films Golden Closet Films.
They did want BTS to be a rap group in the beginning. And it was a bit like the Mickey Mouse Club. There were other trainees that got cut.
A lot of the members had no training in dance. Jimin was a trained dancing ace. Suga once said that when he first met Jimin that he must be an amazing dancer, in order to be there, because he didn't look like a hip-hop guy.😂
So now the group had 2 dancing aces.
I am always amazed at Jin's discipline to learn to sing and dance from scratch. BTS dances are hard!!!
I liked hearing the stories about about your group. And, yes, BTS is family.
😘💜🫶🏻🫰🏻
Also, 3 out of 7 members could be considered lethal weapons. 😂😂😂
Just a reminder to keep the historical context in mind whenever you think about BTS’ methods and accomplishments. Their TH-cam use was not “like other groups.” They invented a new approach and intensity to staying in close contact with fans. They did not struggle and emerge within the kpop industry you think you know now. Their success changed the industry itself. Think about it: nothing in society was the same 10 years ago, right? :)
If you truly want to learn about their journey, you need to watch or react to the rise of Bangtan. There are 21 episodes and you would love it. All the same, keep up the good work. Love from Ghana🇬🇭
OST=original sound track. 💜💜
Yes, we are so used to it by now that we forget that this is a Korean way to say it 😅
1. I'm watching your reaction now. And I'm enjoying your boy band experiences how it relates. Informally, I'm going to answer some of your questions. About RM. Jin was saying. NO. RM. I don't need your help in the kitchen. If you watched closely, RM wasn't able to slice off one piece of that carrot. He Can't cook. 148 I.Q. is Very High. He is considered in the top .01 % of the smartest men in the world. He tested very high on the English equivalency test. And keeps going back to retest himself. He always gets a higher score. That show he was on at the blackboard..is a show where very smart men compete in answering very complicated questions. (They now have included women.) On his first visit to the show. He was the youngest. He outsmarted them all. And very quickly got the right answer. RM is very clumsy. And he destroys many things he touches. To this day, he doesn't drive or have his driver's license. Reason. To keep Koreans safe from him on the road. Not kidding. All 7 are presently serving in the military. They went in at staggered times. Jin will be out in 3 months.
🙋🏼♀️ I saw BTS in LA for PTD concert in 2021 and Suga in New York for D Day concert last year. Hard to describe how wonderful they both were. Amazing! 💜
Ok, I just had to comment on your tea...it cracks me up every time you mention it, because my husband is also a TH-cam creator (PC games), and also has a favorite tea, and also mentions it every chance he can and it became a running joke that he was digging for a tea sponsorship. He was like, "One of these days I'm going to get a C&D from [tea company name] telling me to stop mentioning their name in my unhinged playthroughs..." 😂
its really he was so good u need him in the band… due to that unique tone of his
must to watch is the legendary, breathtakingly spectacular performance of:❣Jimin 'Lie' live (stage mix) 2017 [Eng Sub] [Full HD] th-cam.com/video/lutt2uqRSl0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2ym4ZLR0viA7fBek by enjoy BTS more. 🙏Please Turn on cc for eng subs. to see the always important meaningful lyrics this time, but it’s crucial for “Lie” that Jimin wrote himself! Jimin’s ever so mesmerizingly stunning vocals & dancing are always on another level! This is only one safe to see other then equally legendary Fancam. 👍❤🔥😍🔥🔥
Welcome welcome, Nathan to our BTS rabbit hole 😊
Borahae 🫰🏻 Love your reactions and love watching you dive into the BTS world 🫶 Glad you finally got to know more about our dear members.
Thanks for sharing your journey with us 😉💜
All 7 are serving but Suga is doing alternative service due to his shoulder so he's serving the longest eg 21 months rather than 18months.
Jin had only few more months until he’s back or done with his service!
47:03 OST means Original SoundTrack. It is used internationally. Especially in anime, tv series etc. For movies especially smth like Dune they can use "score" "soundtrack". But OST is smth that became worldwide used because of Japanese anime i would say
I've been waiting for this to happen since you first reacted to BTS. Thank you for this one. Got my notification on ❤
I found them during the pandemic. I’m totally invested in them as a group and human beings. We’ve seen almost every moment of their lives online, good and difficult, so you can’t not root for them after seeing their journey to get where they are and knowing what kind of wonderful humans they each are. That combined with their extreme talent and performances is why I’m Army forever.
👋 YES! Saw their FIRST & 2nd CONCERTS AFTER PANDEMIC at LA SOFI! NOTHING LIKE IT💜👑
There is a 2024 update version of the BTS members. More songs and more in depth.
"And I'm talking about myself again" we do care and are curious about your history in your boyband too, those are really interesting
Agree.
🖐🏼🖐🏼 I went to LA and Las Vegas shows! If you didn’t choke up, it was an emotional, exhilarating and ARMY being one in our fan chants. It’s a life changing event, that it inspire and encourage you to be better. And they are real, dancing, jumping and singing! They are not on a photograph or a video. Just love them even more! ARMY was organized, paid for extra security in LA show because the security was not used to handle 50k, that’s full capacity. Rolling Stones only had 20k and they did good 4 months prior.
Every time I watch this I'm reminded how amazing these 7 men are.
8. Army. Their lights are called Army Bombs. However, when traveling, they CANT say they have a BOMB in their luggage. But, security at airports always are informed when Army is flying in with their Bombs to a concert and not to be alarmed. When Army sang to BTS it was a complete surprise. Other Notes. BTS has won over 1,000 awards now. Thank you again for caring enough about "Our Boys" to watch this long video. There are other documentaries out there too. But later on those.
Its called a lightstick in a airport
After more than an hour filming, "is that it?" is the best reaction to see 🤣
I love that you spotted their connection with fans - it was deliberate, and sincere, and it worked. People grew up alongside them, watched them grow up. But it made them vulnerable, too.
I know you're mostly into production and there's no bottom to that rabbit hole 🤣 but I really would love to watch some live performances with you. Even if it just sparks more memories of your own time onstage, it's a perspective not many people can bring.
It felt like you really connected with BTS through this video because for all that they're Korean and you're American, you really did have a lot of similar experiences. I grinned when you said "all five of them" because of course you know there are seven... but there were five of you, and that's what you had just been thinking about.
Raises hand! I saw BTS live at Citifield in NY in 2018 and MetLife Stadium in NJ in 2019. It was incredible to be in person! I had tickets to the 2020 canceled Tour and have only been able to see EVERY SINGLE ONE of their online concerts since then. In April I am going to the theater to see Suga The Movie even though I watched Suga’s concert online multiple times live. (I tried to get tickets to his concert but was waitlisted and couldn’t get them!). They are truly incredible performers and amazing live!
Thanks for reacting to the guide. I've probably watched it 100 times or more, but still find it so heartwarming and entertaining. 💜
You may want to check out Jimin's martial art video. You are able to see why his personality developed the way it did. He may be shy and affectionate but he is also deadly.
Hey Nate, the ending background music you liked was the track for BTS' song called "Home." 😊
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch & sacrificing your tea 😅 Since I was a Plus One fan, I extra enjoyed hearing your personal stories.
Your instincts were right! BTS was originally a hip hop group. The label decided to broaden the sound a bit, but they all received education & exposure to hip hop music and history.
All 7 member are currently serving in the Military as of Dec 2023. They all will be reunited in mid June 2025.
I went to their PTD concert at SoFi in 2021! ✋ Honestly the energy of BTS mixed with ARMY is insane. I've never experienced another concert like that before, and I probably never will again (unless it's BTS). They sound SO good live as well! I highly recommend trying to attend one of their concerts when they come back!
I watched them live in 2018 for their love yourself tour in Berlin. Jungkook was unfortunately injured at the time so he couldn't dance, but he and all of them still gave an amazing performance
He was so excited to get his bike frome Jin. He is the only member that doesn't drive or have a license but said once out he was going to try and get them.
What you said about Suga being open with his struggles hit home. I was so deep in depression when I found BTS. Not so into the group at first but when I discovered his songs, I decided not to unalive myself. Fighting everyday. I hope this all goes away someday. For the time being, I have Suga/BTS. 💜
You have ARMY too. 💜
Suga's full name: MIN YOONGI
OST: Original Sound Track
Visuals : really good looks! face value!
RM's IQ of 148: rated as Extremely High or Very Superior
They do live on VLive, now it's WeVerse.
All of them are in the Military. Jin was the first in, so he will be out by June this year, followed by Jhope on Oct this year
There are many charities going on around the world. I myself has my my own group of organizers, currently raising funds to donate to an institution of people with down syndrome here in the Philippines.
The awards are ore than 700 now. They also have a lot of Guiness World Record.
Again, thank you for supporting BTS.
And Again, on my younger days, I was a fan of Plus One, and Last Flight Out is still one of my fave song to sing in the karaoke :)
I'm late to BTS, I went down the rabbit hole Dec of 2022. I'm glad I did, and there are days when I regret not stanning them earlier. But as they say, you will never find BTS. BTS will find you.
Ost, means offical soundtrack.. its used world wide. Like how lady gaga was ost for star is born.. alessia cara for Moana.. and so on.. demi levato for frozen
I love watching other people become amazed by BTS. It helps me to remember why I love them so much. Welcome to the ARMY and BTS community
Re BTS in the military so far we know:
Namjoon: Special Elite Troops & Military Band
Jin: Sergeant & Assistant Instructor
Yoongi: Public Service due to his shoulder injury
Hoseok: Corporal & Assistant Instructor
Jimin: Military Fire Direction Center (brain of the artillery)
Taehyung: SDT (special duty team to counter terrorism)
Jungkook: Kitchen Police /cook-supp batallion
They all (except Jungkook) graduated basic training in top 5/10. RM and V were elite trainees. So are I think Jin and J Hope. Suga couldn't do this because of his bad shoulder injury. Jimin not only was top 10 but top of the unit. He received commendation from the division commander. He did the oath on behalf of his unit too. And like Jin and I think J Hope will get early promotions too and extra holidays which I believe is a big deal :)
Jin is finish whis his military in June this year and 3 months later is J-Hope finished, and the other 5 is finish next year in june
🤚 saw the Love Yourself Speak Yourself tour in Chicago. Had floor seats so Jungkook flew overhead during Euphoria.... most amazing concert I have ever been to
🙋🏻♀️ I went to a BTS Concert in Las Vegas 2022. It was incredible! 🎉 you have to experience it by your self. The show, Armys , the atmosphere is hard to put in words 💜💜💜
🙌🏾 BTS concerts were some of the most fun I've ever had!💜
GOSH THIS IS SO NEEDED. LESHUGO NATHAN!!💜
@ 56.02 nope! sadly it's not explained on the video but after Joon was singed Bang PD knew he wanted him in something but didn't know what yet, so since Joon was a rapper they he initially tried to make a hip hop boy band and started taking trainees (after setting the dorm). If I'm not wrong there were on and off abt 20 guys? Joon entered the dorms in 2010, same Yoongi, Hobi joined in Xmas 2010, Jin was living with his parents but training by 2011, Kookie started living with em in June 2011, Tae sept. 2011 and Jiminie May 2012. Jinnie finally moved in in July 2012 though he'd been training since 2011
when they were training they were other boys also training who got cut... some also quit especially when Bang PD decided to go from a hip hop group to a full on idol (kpop) group. Some former trainees have spoken abt their experience and at least the ones who spoke on the record say the right guys were chosen, they could see Bangtan's passion was extraordinary
OST- Original Soundtrack so basically a song that’s written for a specific drama or movie. So a song written specifically for Top Gun is an original soundtrack song. 💜💜
I have watched this what feels like a million times with reactors. It's so fun to watch them realise that the boys are much more than just a boy band. I purple you 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Jimin 👑
What to say ? I've watched this BTS guide hundreds of times with different reacters and I still enjoyed yours as well, I'm glad you reacted to it now you know a lot of things about them 💜💜💜💜
