The thing about BTS that you haven't seen yet is that they do it all. IMHO the reason BTS is the phenom they are is because, once you dive deeper, you realize they have no genre. It's just all excellence in whatever they choose to do. To explore their range, check out UGH, Am I Wrong, Black Swan, and On, Kinetic Manifesto. To understand that their talent isn't just smoke and mirrors, check out BTS Festa 2021 which is a medley of B sides performed live. Their live performance of Run BTS in Busan is insane.
insane is the right word for it
The latest UGH live in Busan was fire. I watched it a few times...
Good recomendations. I love rap line but oh that FESTA 2021 is a fantastic medley cause it showcases all their sides, genres, vocals....
Absolutely, second this, and I want to add that they're amazing live. I love it when new people pair up the studio version and a live performance, personally.
Well said 👏
'Mic drop' and 'Dynamite' still fail to show BTS's potential. If you want to see a more artistic side of their work you have to see 'Black Swan'. The song itself, mv, the message is pure art.
I also recommend:
'ON' (Kinetic Manifesto Film),
'Outro:Tear' (rapline song - amazing and heartbreaking),
'Interlude: Shadow' (Suga from BTS),
'Fake love' (again pure perfection from visuals in MV to message of the song💔),
'Run BTS' (+ Busan concert live version) and 'Silver Spoon' - these two have a Mic drop vibe,
'My Universe' (with Coldplay),
'The truth untold' (vocal line of BTS) ,
'Deachwita' - Agust D (Suga solo rap song),
'Arson', 'More' and 'Pandora's Box' (Jhope solo rap songs),
'Moonchild' (RM solo),
'Lie' (Jimin solo),
'Singularity' (V solo),
'My time' (Jungkook solo),
'Epiphany' (Jin solo)
(there is more and more and it gets better and better with each song🥺)
and to better understand the BTS phenomenon, you can watch the Guide of BTS by Taylor th-cam.com/video/huV_yIdxZPY/w-d-xo.html if u want 💜
YESS i definitely agree with this, my first thought is blackswan and run bts when i think of some good starting songs
They don't fail to show their potential they just portray a different emotion, a different aspect of them... That doesn't mean these are meaningless songs... There's a reason mic drop is a diss track and there's a reason dynamite is a happy disco song which released in midst of pandemic... They fulfilled their job.... It doesn't need to have 10 layer deep meaning rather one direct meaning which came across easily coz that's what their purpose was.... To be crystal clear to the haters via mic drop and to provide instant energy and hope to the people suffering from pandemic through dynamite
@@smrutishikharath3025Where did I say they are meaningless? I love Dynamite and nothing cheered me up in the pandemic like this song and Mic Drop is one of my favorites. I also don't think every song has to have a million layers and meanings. I just meant that if someone who is just getting to know BTS for the first time and finds these cheerful or hater songs assumes that all their music is like that and it's not true. That's why I left some of my recommendations, among which I mentioned, for example, Run BTS which is clearly very similar to Mic drop style..🙃 I don't know why you're responding on my comment if you didn't even understand what I wrote.
Good list to react to!
New subscriber here. I’m 60 yo and never liked Pop music. I was into blues rock and heavy metal. Then I happened to see a BTS music video and was struck by the choreography. I fell down the BTS rabbit hole and have been Army since 2018. I love the grittiness of the rap line (and they’re more talented rappers and lyricists than most American rappers) and their energy. Most of all, I love their positive message of fighting hate, negativity, Korean social norms, injustice, and so much more. Please dig deeper into BTS; you won’t regret it. Army will guide you. Try On: Kinetic Manifesto Film next.
Way to go Sharon 🤗🤗🥳🥳
As a fellow older ARMY, I can totally relate to your love and passion for these AMAZING young men 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I am over 60 and just loooove BTS. Too bad I didn't have a chance to see them live, discovered them much too late :( fortunately they still give us what we need, in bits and pieces by seven :) cheers from Vienna, Austria!
Welcome Sharon! I hope my videos do them justice!
I'm 34 and had very similar musical preferences to yours and yet here I am LOVING these guys!
He says it's not for everybody, but I believe that if you really listen to their music without prejudice, you'll like them.
their discography as BTS is insane. It is sometimes hard to believe that songs like Mic drop, Butter, Blood sweat and tears, UGH, Blue and Grey, Dis-ease, Black swan come from the same group. It is extremely rare to have a group who does so well in so many genres.
Nowadays, the members are starting to release their solo work as official albums with promo etc(before they were mixtapes) and it is so satisfying how different it is from each other.
JHope´ s Jack in the box was declared no.9 on Rolling Stone´s mag 100 best albums of 2022, and RM just last week released Indigo, which isso rich lyrically and very much the artistic niche thing you were talking about. Then there is Jin who called up their friend Chris Martin from Coldplay and they made a gorgeous soft guitar ballad called Astronaut.
People sometimes mock BTS ARMY for mostly listening to only BTS, but can you blame them? when you have so much variety to choose from...and this year the rate they have been putting out new music is actually insane. We have had new material literally every month. No time to get bored.
I listen to a lot of music, but honestly, BTS is the best band with regards to versatility, professionalism, etc.etc Cheers from vienna!
@@m.bk.3928 Vienna? Hi. neighbour. Cheers from Bratislava 💜
Ultimately, I think the reason people like BTS is because of the heart and soul and honesty and genuineness of the members and their music.
They do everything with their whole hearts. It's hard not to appreciate something people have poured themselves into, I think.
They're just good people and that's refreshing and hopeful.
as someone who only listens to rock and not much pop, these guys discography is so underrated, their side tracks are really cool and I respect how they write about their own journey and personal stories, you can actually get to know them through their music
Thank you for giving them a second chance and hope you weren’t too overwhelmed, we are alot! For reference I’m late 40s and previously my favs were things like Tool, Rage Against the Machine etc. I love that when you dive deeper BTS has always spoken up with social commentary from their first album through solo projects. Songs like Baepsea or flat out calling out politicians and in songs like Am I Wrong. I’ve rarely found another group as diverse but I love everything.
Hey man. Good music is good music! It’s ok to rock out to Tool AND BTS. You’ll get no argument form me.
Their solo work is usually the kind of music that you mentioned, more acoustic. But the lyrics is definitely an important part of their songs both in BTS and their solo albums. The latest one to release an album is the leader RM, called 'Indigo' (released on 2nd Dec). The man is lyrical master and i highly recommend you to check out the mv of 'wildflower' from the same.
For BTS as a whole, i recommend 'black swan', 'spring day' and 'fake love'.
Ps. - thank you for the reaction and stating ur opinions openly, appreciate it.😊
Yes i thought the same. Because of his interest in production, he would prolly find RM's latest release, WILD FLOWER, fascinating even if he is just new to BTS.
@@MeL_LcoolJ I almost recommended Wildflower by name, I had the same thought
🖼️ Okay 👍🏻 the art analogy is a good one. Let’s flesh it out. You walk into a room & see a painting but there’s more to your appreciation of that art as a painting. When you know BTS as the artist, you may know the struggle too, you loved it or witnessed it. Maybe you watched them paint it or saw 10 versions that came before it and how those first paintings led to this one. You know that a painting is more than art on a wall.
BTS is a highly entertaining source of good and empathy in our world. I’m 53 yr old female, USA, and I’ve been Army for less than a year but I can tell you that I care and respect these guys like I’ve known them all my life.
So maybe take that 🖼️ off the wall and examine the signature and methods that made it and peel it out of the frame to see the artist’s statement.
It’s refreshing to have groups singing/rapping about something other than screwing hot girls, drugs, and money. Their lyrics mean something. Their melodies do too. They don’t fit in any box that exists. They shredded that box and then politely ♻️ the box and kept right on going.
Wow, I need to chill on these long comments, lol. 💜
Yeah I certainly like lyrics with some substance.
They shredded that box and then politely ♻ the box and kept right on going. 🤣Still chuckling about this. They're so inspiring. I've been Army for less than a year too but I know exactly what you mean. 😊
New army here too, and it's amazing how quickly I started feeling like they were talking to me as well as people who have been with them forever 😁
They are where they are because they connect with us on a personal lvl and not just that their music is amazing. Most ARMY know their back story and devour just about everything they put out and they put a lot of stuff out not just music that enabled us to know them on a lvl Ive never had with any other band. They feel like they are part of my family and while I love most of their songs there are some that I dont play very often. Some I play every day and we all have those sort of lists and and we all have different songs on that list and the list changes all the time due to everything they put out as they describe their music as fusion and it really is they take whatever genre they think fits and do it. So they are true artists and they contribute in everything, such as when shooting MVs they watch the takes and go back and do it again if they arnt happy with it. Their work ethic is unreal and so is their energy and output. They are amazing human beings each capable of having a successful solo career in music. RM's use of wordplay etc is out of this world, Suga is one of the most sought after producers, J-Hope and Jimin are amazing dancers with different styles, Jimin's voice is like nobody else Ive ever heard, Jin's vocals are silver smooth, JK is the main vocalist for a reason his voice is amazing and he has perfect pitch and does most of their adlibs and sings all the vocal guides and V has the most soulful beautiful baritone. The rappers all have their own flows and styles and are all world class. Together they make up the biggest group in the world yet they are humble, down to earth, philanthropic and also the biggest crackheads who each have different personalities to each other. They love their fans and by that I mean REALLY love their fans and are always grateful to us. They put out so much free stuff for us on soundcloud along the way not just single songs but mixed tapes etc. They always give credit where its due such as on RM's new album (his first as a soloist altho he gave us 2 free mixed tapes) every person he did a song with is credited as WITH not featured and the list of artists reads like a whos who of music both overseas and in Korea. Every song is different but the album as a whole when listened to in order tells a story of the last 10 years of his life. I was losing my love of music when they found me in 2017 (im one of the older fans btw im 69) and altho i had watched some K-pop on SBS Asia (yes im Aussie) I found while a lot of it was well produced etc it was also a little cringy especially the girl group concepts. Also most of the groups were not allowed to have very much imput into their music and were very "manufactured" so i stopped watching and then along came the boys at the 2017 AMA'a and they sang DNA on a tiny stage that really wasnt big enuf to do the choreo justice and they slayed so much that people in the US music industry accused them of lip synching cos they couldnt understand how a group could sing and dance like that at the same time and while the boys do use backing tracks they dont lip synch the parts where they arnt singing unlike a lot of other artists including some Idols which I have seen doing it on award shows. I wanted to see more and somebody pointed me to YT (being old I had never used it rofl) and down the rabbit hole I went and Ive never looked back. I grew up in the era of the beatles, rolling stones, Queen etc etc but while I loved some of the music these groups produced I never had the connection I have with these guys to the point that I own all the albums, some of the merch and Im a member of the official fanclub. My one wish in life is to see them in concert as covid stopped that so hoping for it in the future. Sorry for the long ramble im gunna stop now altho I really havnt covered everything I wanted to say ..... Last thing once you have watched them a bit more I would recommend watching MMA 2018 performance and then MMA 2019 these are a Korean end of year award show sort like our ARIAs and they will blow your mind will just say and their company pay for the sets and artists/dancers used for this.
59 yr. old ARMY that assures you they are more than vocalists, rappers, lyricists, producers, performers--- they're LEGENDS! 💜
60+ and fulky agree!
The conecction with bts is that they are facing really hard times and they were nobody. Their connection with us army or fans is so humble and special. They are so humble . I am 52 and found them 3 years ago. I was always a rockchick and i still love rock,but now i always listen to bts.
imo the thing abt BTS success is that they're not just about music at all. i think that their lyrics, their melodies and their art in general combines with their awesome personalities and the message the group is offering to the world.
For example, for me the thing that stayed in my brain the most was this "f the educational system" message they had during their early days, maybe for some people was "i am precious, i need to love myself for what i am" or "there's no need to run, enjoy life".
It all combined with how they became what they are now, literally saving their company from bankruptcy (that's what the CEO said himself), them all sharing one single bedroom, without taking account of all the censorship or racism they've been going through even atp of their careers.
hope i explained myself well enough bc English is not my first language, but the thing is that we can't put BTS just as a "boy band" or "seven kids who make good music" because their meaning and objectives are beyond that. its the bond they have created with their fans and with their art itself what stands out the most.
They certainly have a strong connection with the fans. I really respect that.
I'm 57 Australian & I discovered BTS by accident and curiosity got me to listen to more, Captions on, from there I was lost. They are fantastic musicians, they can sing, rap & dance, they often write their own lyrics and are often involved in the production. Their lyrics, often focus on personal and social commentary, touch on the themes of mental health, troubles of school-age youth and coming of age, loss, the journey towards loving oneself, and individualism. Their work also often references literature and psychological concepts and includes an alternative universe storyline.
"BTS," actually stands for the words, "Bangtan Sonyeondan," which translates to mean "Bulletproof Boy Scouts." 'Bangtan’ means to be resistant to bullets, so it means to block out stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations that aim on adolescents like bullets, to preserve the values and ideal of today’s adolescents,"
They started out as a HipHop group in 2013, (they have 3 rappers, 2 of which were from the Korean underground rap scene & 4 Vocalists) but actually cover so many genres of music in addition to HipHop, invluding Pop, EDM, Rap, RnB, Rock, Urban, Trap, Ballads... they say not everyone will like all BTS songs, but there is a BTS song for everyone.
For anyone willing to find out more I recommend taking a look at what they have to offer and suggest the following:
Butter (All English)
Dope
Fire
Danger
DNA
Idol
Blood Sweat and Tears
On Kinetic Manifesto prima
Black Swan
Fake Love
Not Today
Save Me
Truth Untold
Spring Day (which has spent 5 consecutive years in Goan's Digital Chart's & you must watch Italian Armies explanation video on Spring Day)
Your Eyes Tell
Run BTS
The Cyphers if you like rap
Then solo works:
Jungkook - Euphoria, My Time
V - Singularity, Stigma (live version), Sweet Night (the first and only song in history to top 119 countries on the worldwide iTunes chart)
Suga's alter ego Agust D - Daewitcha, Agust D, The Last
RM - Persona, Joke
J-Hope - Boy Meets Evil, More, Arson
Jin - Epiphany, Abyss
Jimin - Serendipity, Filter
The thing is they have a really wide range
We like to call it the BTS genre because it’s impossible to limit them in names
I can give you 50 songs and they can all sound completely different
Also they recently started to release solo music one by one and it’s fascinating how different it is from their group music yet it fits them so perfectly
Before I saw BTS for the first time my favorite band was QOTSA. Then I saw them perform when a sound guy friend got me into a BTS show he was working at in 2017. I had never seen any group work so hard to put on such an incredible show. I have been a die-hard fan ever since. I highly recommend watching the live version of this song (with a live band - guitar drums bass and keyboards) from their most recent concert in October. It’s available on their official channel. They opened the show with it, and then proceeded to up the energy for 90 minutes. Unreal. You have not seen BTS until you see BTS on stage.
Thanks for the tip!
@@PrymalChaos sure! It's this video. There are no subtitles, but it's the best version because it has some crowd noise in the mix. Crowd participation is an integral part of K-pop shows. At the start you can hear the crowd chanting the guys' names. It includes the second song, "Run BTS". This fellow rocker can guarantee that you will LOVE it. th-cam.com/video/XigGbzte8Wg/w-d-xo.html
This was a fun reaction and I really appreciate you open mindedness💜
Trust me, they have done pretty much everything in their 10 year career of making music and still manage to surprise us with sounds and concepts we haven't seen before from them. Since all the members (usually the three rappers- RM, Suga and J-hope) contribute to the writing, composition and production of their music you can get very different types of perspectives and musical styles. Even recently RM (the leader) released a solo album- Indigo which has 10 different tracks with a variety of genres- City pop, Folk music, RnB, Hip-hop etc. If you like all kinds of music and some really artistic people I can guarantee that BTS is the group for you.
Ultimately, I think what makes them so easy to root for is the hard work and the absolute love for music and performance these guys have (not to mention their very likeable and humble personalities) which plays a huge part in their excellence and artistry.
I initially got interested in their music and very easily fell in love with their chaotic energy and the sense of community and positivity they give off. They are the only artists I can guarantee are the same off screen as they are in front of the cameras. So I hope you listen to more of their music because believe me, you have barely touched the surface of the reason behind their fame and artistry.
If you would like to get to know more about them and their group dynamics I really recommend this video- A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7- th-cam.com/video/huV_yIdxZPY/w-d-xo.html
Ps. I love all most of their title tracks and most popular songs but the magic of BTS lies in their b-sides.
That was the end of my rant😅
Some music recommendations-
Black Swan
Wildflower (by RM) [Its a new song from his recent album- Indigo]
Fake Love
Spring Day
Dope
Hope you have a nice day! And you nice keep going💜💜
More BTS reactions please! They are one of few artists that sound better live than in the studio version. When you couple that with difficult choreography while singing, it's amazing to behold. They are truly talented performers. I am 67 yrs old and appreciate their work.
I'm 74 and found them almost three years ago. First the choreography, then the music, the diversity of their music, their message of equality, positivity, their personalities, their sense of humor, and they do not take themselves too seriously. Their show RUN BTS, In the Soop, Bon Voyage are excellent to see how they all interact. But most of all I love how humble and respectful they are towards ARMY, each other, their families, just everyone. You will find that BTS receives so much hate over the years that it is getting old. I believe it is that the haters are just jealous and cannot stand to see these men be successful. WHY? That is a question I just do not have an answer for. I just know that I am ARMY till I die. I envy you your journey.
Thanks for your reaction. I’m 51 and have been an ARMY since 2018. I’ve seen them live three times and I can honestly say that no one outperforms them. As a matter of fact, I would argue that their live vocals are even better than the studio versions. As an American, I grew tired of the vulgar lyrics that were prevalent in the music here. BTS writes lyrics that uplift and empower instead of tearing down. That’s what drew me in. As I got to know them as people, I began to think of them like my own children. They share so much of their lives with us. No one loves their fans as much as BTS does.
Hey! Also 50 yr old American. : ) I fell in love with them during lockdowns, but because of the dance practice videos and Run BTS. I too feel very maternal towards them--but esp. Jungkook, my definite bias. I just want to take his cheeks in my hands and look in those big brown eyes and tell him he is special and worthy of love just for being himself, not because of all the amazing things he can do. xoxo
45, and mine is a similar story! Jungkook was my first bias because he reminds me of my son 😂
I often watch what they're doing in the world and feel a very parental kind of pride. It's not the success, really - they're kind, thoughtful people who try to make the world better. If they were my sons I'd be very proud of who they've chosen to be 💜
Love you reaction… and no, you still wont get the actual ‘why’ with 2 songs😊 Dive more into the rabbit hole and experience the true greatness that is BTS. BTS as a group is already top tier, but imagine having 7 members with their individual solo works at the same calibre of BTS’ art. It is mindblowing. At this point, the competitions are BTS vs BTS.

I think you cant really see the reason why they are so loved from the outside! First you may think they are just a boyband famous for their looks. Then you listen to their songs and realize how talented they are, how deep their lyrics are, how they are so passionate about their music and their fans. And then you begin to know their personalitys, how humble and kind they are, how open they are about their struggles, their doubts, their fears. And then you just start to love them. I think its more than their music, its the way they present themselves and give so much of themselves to encourage and help others who struggle with the same feelings. I never saw that with any other celebrity. And I find it to be extremly inspiring. And of course their music is great aswell :)
Love your reaction and hope you understand it a bit better!
Yesssss, BTS is all about extra good music. Hundreds of great songs. You can check Taylor´s guide so you can comprehend faster what is behind BTS phenomenon. I am a really happy 50 year old (baby) ARMY since 2020. I think western pop should take a look at the quality and effort tehy put in each song. They do many genres, taht is why it appeals to many audiences. And then, they are doing solo works that are mindblowing.
Can’t wait to see more.
Thank you for giving them respect. I don’t know how to get you to actually pay attention to what I want to communicate, but I hope you actually listen. I love that you’re checking out BTS and that you’re trying to figure out why they have such a following. Their music is catchy no matter for sure no matter the genre and they do it all, but I think it was a combination of that, their story, their authenticity, lyricism, artistry, and message. PLEASE check out Taylor’s Guide to BTS Members and understand that there’s layers of meaning that as non-Koreans and symbolism that they imbed in their music videos that we just can’t get outside their culture/language but it’s still universal in its overall message. Explanation videos are essential to understanding beyond just music appreciation. Two examples are Spring Day (watch the Bulletproof Vibes explanation video) and Ugh (watch the DKDKTV explanation video). You’ll see that they actually are different than most music in general. It goes beyond what you think.
I will certainly check out Taylor’s guide as soon as I get the time. There has been so many recommendations.
@@PrymalChaos ooh, can't wait! new subscriber here :)
Let's go to "On(Kinetic manifesto film)" and "Black Swan". You will see how versatile they are with good lyric. Thank you for giving chance to BTS and your open mind : ) If you had no prejudice, you would meet the whole new world💜💜
Love your positive reaction after the dynamite comments and that you were curious enough to check an other song.
Mic drop is the kind of song you were expecting from them : hard beat, strong choreo. They always have an interesting or strong message in their songs that's why they are different from all other K-pop groups.
Also their live performance are crazy and insane they make Magic when they are live. But they also can stay still and sing beautiful mesmerizing songs with beautiful harmonies.
Hope you will keep your BTS journey. And at some point you will want to know their personality and see that they don't play a role (Bad boys, sweet...) They just are themselves simple genuine humble honest young men. That's why so many people across the World love them and can relate to them.
New subscriber here.

What is more surprising about BTS, is that their live performances are even better than their fabulous MVs! For example, Check out the live version of Mic Drop from their recent Yet To Come concert in Busan. I’m also very impressed because all seven of the guys in the group are involved in writing, composing and producing their music - each in varying degrees.
there's so many things you need to check out about them, their music is so so ECLECTIC. You just need to find out which one is your vibe
Thanks for this reaction. :)
To explain a little bit about the background of Mic Drop, now BTS is the biggest boy band in the world. But they started with a small company that almost went bankrupt, so they have been very looked down and hated by Korean broadcasting stations and other K-pop fandom. So they have struggled from the beginning to prove themselves.
It's a song for their haters. :)
The direction of Mic Drop's lyrics began with the idea of J-Hope, the main dancer and dance leader of BTS.
And 'Mic Drop' at the end of this music video is a performance created by BTS leader RM inspired by Barack Obama's speech. :)
If you're interested in their live performances, Just check this out.
[BANGTAN BOMB] 2017 MAMA Mic Drop. (BTS focus)
th-cam.com/video/floMqK_yHf8/w-d-xo.html
It's not an official MAMA video broadcast on TV, but a full-cam taken by Big Hit. I recommend this because the camera work on official MAMA is so messed up.
In this performance, Mic Drop was their 4th song, so the members were exhausted and held on with their mental strength only. And, there were even three dance breaks at this time.
I can feel all of them Even if I die, I will die on stage. The energy is crazy!
And BTS Mic Drop remix Jimmy Kimmel Live is great too. :)
Oh, there is another song BTS worked on with Steve Aoki. The Truth Untold is a completely different song from Mic Drop. :)
And If you're interested in BTS' other MVs, I recommend....
Blood sweat & tears
FIRE
On kinetic manifesto film
Black Swan
Save me→I'm fine
Daechwita(Agust D 대취타, Suga's solo)
All of their music videos provide English subtitles. :)
Their lyrics are very deep and beautiful.
Or, I think it would be good to follow a story line.
DNA: Joy of fateful love → Fake Love: Realizing that love was a lie → IDOL, Epiphany, The Truth Untold, Answer Love Myself: To love other people completely, you should love yourself first.
These are included in Love Yourself Trilogy.
The lyrics of BTS' songs are based on their own experiences, and their albums are organic because they contain their growth narrative.
It will also be fun to listen to their albums in order and analyze them. :)
They make a wide variety of genres of music like Hip-hop, Ballad, R&B, pop, EDM, etc. I'm sure there're quite a few of their 300 songs that suit your taste. :)
Maybe you can try this.
[2021 FESTA] BTS (방탄소년단) BTS ROOM LIVE
th-cam.com/video/RRhjdYsNwAk/w-d-xo.html
It's a medley performance where you can taste the diversity of their music in 10 minutes.They are Korean songs, but English subtitles are provided, so you don't need to worry. :)
They don't dance in this performance, but you can see them having so much fun. :)
If you wanna know more about them, I think a few introduction videos can help you. :)

@@ruthfischer7615 Oh, Thanks! :)
I came for the music and stayed for their personalitys! Like I said in the previous comment, they are amazing talented artists! I would like it if you would watch a documentary about who and what each member can do! Get to know them! They have songs in all genres! Not just the group projects but also their solo's! I'm happy that you gave them a chance, borahae!
Who’s going to tell him about the rock, rap, ballad and lyrically mind blowing songs?
You I guess. 😃
they have a lot of deep meaning lyric songs as well. They have amazing story telling and layers upon layers of meaning.
I think next time I’ll focus more on the lyrics.
the thing is this sounds even better live! more hardcore. their mics are alway live, they do have backing tracks coz the choreo is so intense and insane but they're live!
I have no beef with backing tracks. It’s just the nature of the game. People expect the studio experience replicated live. There is often no other way to get that sound. The biggest bands in the world always use them.
12:14 rm, a member of bts, just released his album indigo last week, it has a folk song with an acoustic guitar on it called forg_tful, bts really can do anything we are not kidding when we say it
I was just gonna pop in here and say this! Don’t sleep on BTS. They won’t let you… the alarm will go off every day… “wake up & Borahae!” 💜
If you want to hear niche artistry with an acoustic guitar listen to the lovely ‘Forg_ ful’ or the heartfelt ‘Lonely’ both from RM’s solo album Indigo, which released last Friday. Hard to believe it’s the same rapper who burst out of the ambulance in Mic Drop! Also the lead single ‘Wild Flower’ is just stunning.
Army! He’s a guitar player! Lets have him watch some LIVE BAND performances!! Such as Mic Drop and RunBTS in Busan!!!🎉🎸🤘🏼
And the NPR tiny desk has some great guitar moments, if I remember correctly!
@@evantesseract737 definitely! 👍🏻
They faced a lot of hate. RM and Suga left the underground rap scene to basically become an idol. That didn't go over well. That intensity is significantly part of them. . They are passionate about their music and choreo.
It takes time to learn their names.
Also, Steve also did 'Waste it on me' with them.
Oh, check out their Fix you and I'll be missing you Covers. Not sure if anyone mentioned My Universe with their buddies in Coldplay.
Faves don't exist for me. No skip discography. But definitely On.
Now I'm going watch the Metallica video I saw on your list.
Thy new song is great. Very Motörhead.
I know alot of people like to drag Dynamite but it doesn't have all those views for no reason, many people love it, it's a good pop song. BTS isn't where they are today because of one single song, it's because of everything they have done from their debut to now, which is step outside the box and try different things, play around with different genres and sounds and create their own.
They are excellent performers and they can adapt to any persona that is needed for the vibe of the song. With that said BTS is BTS and they do BTS and they have a particular subset of their fanbase that are not kpop fans in general but stick with them year after year because of the artists themselves and what they stand for even outside of the music.
Dynamite is very good at being what it is. It didn't get me into BTS though - I had to hear Save Me, and then I was curious, and then I was hooked. I think we maybe do overemphasize the distinction between the English songs and the rest of their work, but I also think if Dynamite or Butter is all you see, you're missing most of what makes them interesting.
It's surprising until you know...., they are so invested in the choreo, the lyrics, creating the music.
1:00 max martin participated in writing bts and coldplay's song my universe
Just discovered your channel and was so excited to see you watching and reacting to BTS Mic Drop. As you saw BTS’s Dynamite was a fun, catchy, upbeat song and choreography to cheer up the fans during Covid but didn’t even begin to show you their full talent or versatility. I always suggest that people watch the 2019 MMA performance in order to see how talented and versatile they are from RM’s solo rap in the beginning to Dionysus at the end with 3 songs and small individual performances in between. Its like watching a 37 minute BTS concert in which you almost forget it’s actually a music awards show. I constantly hear it referred to as legendary and it’s easy to see why. It’s what made me a fan for life. I think the combination of the singing, rapping and dancing in Dionysus is the best performance I have ever seen from any group ever. Even more so because they obviously were already tired from the previous songs and choreography. It shows why they are #1 in the world. They always give 150% when they perform and no one can touch them. To give credit where credit is due they are ALL multitalented young men but their leader RM has a lot to do with why are are #1. He is an incredible leader and all of the members have confirmed that and talked about how much they admire and respect him. I liked your comment about them being on a Cirque Du Soleil level but in K-pop. That’s a great comparison.
Thanks Jane! I have some plans with BTS moving forward. Stay tuned!
They have a lot to say just like the ingenue with a guitar. They have socio economic songs, songs on mental health, songs to encourage you to love yourself. If you think its a love song, their is likely a deeper meaning. You don't need a single guitar to have something to say.
I'm from a metal, hard core, blues fan background and part of what I loved about that music, they usually had something to say. BTS usually also have those songs. You'll find most of Army are incredibly smart because BTS' songs and videos can have such meanings to psychology, to fine art, to literature that professors have used their lyrics in their lessons.
Some songs that I personally like are, Black Swan, Louder than Bombs, Lie, We On, Rain, House of Cards, Tear, Ugh, On, Blood Sweat and Tears, Am I Wrong, Fake Love, So What, Magic Shop....so many more but those are in my Top 15
You missed *THE* *QUEEN* of their discography: Spring Day 💜
(but your list is very cool, too!)
I enjoyed your reaction! Trust me... if you ever DO get around to learning their names, you will officially and completely be down the BTS rabbit hole. There's no way out of it after that happens. 🙂 And it's quite a ride, let me tell you. Their come-up story is quite different from other groups and learning about the K-Pop and even the Korean culture was so eye-opening to me and what really endeared them to me. I came to appreciate and respect them as human beings as well as artists. Nearly every song has a story behind it and when you know that story, it makes the experience even more amazing because it hits on even deeper level. You will hear it from ARMY over and over, this group is all about the lyrics. Many songs even have "explanation videos" which help those of us that are not Korean understand the complexities of the lyrics and the nuisances implied throughout their storylines. Yes, there are multiple storylines throughout all of their albums. Honestly, I have no idea where to recommend you go next. You're already kind of "in the middle", which is fine, it just really depends on what you want to see next. Many ARMYs recommend their favorite songs or very dramatic MVs because, yes, they are impressive, but if you're into the sausage making, I'd break it down a bit more and get into a "Who is BTS" type video. When I first found them, I watched 3-4 of those, and then went to the HYBE page and literally went through the entire BTS catalog in order from their first debut song "No More Dreams" all the way through to their most recent music. Of course, I wasn't reacting, so I devoured this in a matter of a few days and was totally and completely hooked. Those videos also give you a hint into the other types of content out there which help better understand how these boys got to where they are today. There is literally so much material out there about them I will probably never see it all, but it won't be for a lack of trying. 🙂 Have fun and enjoy the ride. I've subbed so I can continue to watch! Thanks again!
Hello there 😅 I'm one of a dope old people.. Just wanna say I'll be rooting on your BTS journey.. Hope u will continue enjoying their music as I do.
Looks like that will probably be the way it goes.
i can assure you that many armys care a lot about behind the scenes, we don't have much video material because it is a private process (although i do think you would love the one we have for on, on commentary film dialogue) besides a few documentaries but for example rm for every album they released since 2016 made a live where he talked about behind the scenes stories and introduced the songs, members have done the same thing for all of their solo mixtapes/albums too
Next...Idol
Fire as it is literally 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dope is dope as dope 💯💯💯💯💯
Not Today
No More Dream (debut song)
They're song "run bts" has more guitar in it if your interested in that kind of sound. Really enjoyed your reaction, thank you! 😁
BTS aren't really the typical Kpop band. One of the reasons is that they write a great majority of their songs and have a huge hand in producing as well (they have writing credits in most of their songs but in particular, I would say, the rap line consisting of RM, Suga and Jhope have writing credits in, at the very least, 90% of their songs). And their discography is huge, i.e., somewhere around 350 songs if you include solo projects and free songs on Soundcloud. Concepts from literature (e.g., Hermann Hesse, Haruki Murakami) and psychology (e.g., Carl Yung) are among the various 'tools' they utilize for inspiration for their music as some of the members are avid readers (esp RM who is the leader of the group and one of the main rappers). Mic Drop was written by RM and Steve Aoki added his beat to this version. I also suggest you check out the live versions of Mic Drop (BTS is also known for their superior live performances) (2017 Mic Drop MAMA performance is a good one). Thanks for checking BTS out and being open minded about them. You've only seen a tip of the iceberg but you'll be thoroughly impressed as you discover more about them. A 51 yr old new subscriber here and hoping to see more of your BTS journey. You won't be disappointed. :)
P.S. My recommendations for your next reaction: 'On' Kinetic Manifesto Film, Run BTS (there is a dance practice video, which I suggest you see because the choreo is clearer than the live performance due to the busy camera work) and Dionysus.
Quick correction, Steve didn’t add his beat, he remixed the original beat which was done by BTS
BTS are the artists- they do the writing, the producing- all of it. If you read the credits, it's mostly them.
I liked a few BTS songs in the past, but once I listened to more of their stuff from older to new it's just so insane the about of versatility these 7 boys have. The amount of work and trust they put into each other and their lives as being members of bts has set a standard.
Hi, I'm 54 yo ARMY from the US and I have been for only 4 yrs so I'm known as baby- I- silver ARMY (new/international/older) and I LOVE LOVE LOVE their music but you must know this bit of information, it's not just the music that makes us ARMY, it's them, their personalities, the relationship they have with one another and with ARMY that makes us ONE..... 70+million in an ARMY. Please continue your journey into the boys, our 7 KINGS you won't regret it. And ARMY will be here with you for the ride. Thank you for your reaction. BTS has changed my life more than they could ever know for the better and I will be eternally greatfull for the rest of my life. Enjoy your journey, I purple you, Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜♾️
I love that there are categories!
" there's songs that are more artistic" me "yes and that is also bts, it's all bts all the time" 😂
The huge difference between BTS and the other bands is mainly because they all have a hand in song writing, producing and composing and they don’t write about the simple love about a man and a woman but the love of one’s self. Their songs have deep deep meanings that you will want to consult other reactors for the explanation. Mic Drop has a deeper meaning than what is on the surface. Thank you for reacting to BTS and for a positive review.
My pleasure!
Get to know them as solo artists, now that they all have their solo stuff out - well Jin, the eldest, made just one song before he went to do his military service but it is the one with Coldplay so.. He also went to perform it with them on Coldplay tour, just before he went in to do his duty. Jin's solo songs - well maybe except Super Tuna!(*) - makes me cry. (* and Super Tuna probably makes BTS's leader cry, because tuna is endangered and he loves all sealife so much, he won't eat it). Jin's voice is so exquisite, and as a trained actor he can bring in so much emotion to his singing it is just overwhelming. When he sings about the 6 other members and how he feels like he doesn't measure against them, but he will do his everything to support the other 6 fly higher than he can.. Breaks my heart. Awake.
BTS actually teaches many of us people who are not well versed in music production as they share how they do their music.. Suga and RM usually do live after their mix tape is out and tell us how they did it and what was the process.. Suga (groups main producer - again : with their in-house producers, who some did what Suga originally dreamed of : became in-house producers) started with those home synths when he was 13. He talked it (again) in some episodes of Suchita with one of his quests. And RM was the same age when he started writing his raps.
I like your thoughts and how you can see from many perspectives. Personally, I think BTS got to where they are now (or what you mean by "why") due to the fact that most Armys got into BTS for their quality (music, production, visuals, other surface-level things) but finally stay and spread the love due to their story, messages, and what they represent. If you're down for it, you can either check out their B-side songs (which talk about more personal things) or check out a BTS introduction video to delve deeper into the "why".
The awesome thing about Mic Drop is that it was made after years and years of people talking s*** about them, but I love how BTS deals with it. They are always so proper, decent, polite (and they're honestly famous for that too), but they will occasionally use music to respond to people. So they won't let anyone step on them and tell them off, but they will do it in the most tasteful way. I really like that about them. I wonder what you'll be into... but in my experience you'll probably end up loving some songs that you didn't expect to. I usually listen to jazz, soul, blues, funk and some classic rock, but with BTS I love it all. I've really gotten into rap through them and discovered it's origin (Rhythm And Poetry). With an open mind, which you've so beautifully demonstrated already, you will come to see what they're capable of. But part of what makes BTS so great is that they're amazing in SOO MANY AREAS. Their personalities, their beings their values, the way they treat people. The art, their lyrics, wordplay, eastereggs, references to history literature art movies etc.. Their production, playing around with genres (which is becoming gradually more normal in the rest world. BTS moving boundaries!), sometimes using auditory methods to enhance the meaning of the lyrics. Their performances, stage presence, their endless energy, dedication and on-point performances.
I could go on. Sorry about the long rant. It's just... They will surprise you. They're not like other bands. They went against what everyone else was doing in Kpop industry when they started, they grew, and now more groups are following their lead and changing up the ways of kpop - which is a good thing. But they've in many ways outgrown the kpop industry and belonging to any genre. BTS is the genre, as we say. They have pop, sure. But also a lot of other genres or blends.
Honestly I think I’ll like pretty much anything they do. The quality of the work will always impress me, but deep down, coming from a rock/metal background, any tracks with a hard edge or loads of power and attitude will always make me pay attention. Mic Drop was awesome!
If you want something that shows off more of their artistic side but don't want to be distracted by choreo or strong beats I recommend 'Born Singer' or 'The Truth Untold'. There is no MV for either of these but you can see a live performance for both.
And House of Cards live.
Mic Drop is BTS' response to their haters with a little flexing on the side...spitting facts...lol, with Suga's epic lines "tasteless ratatouille" and "sue it". 🤭🤣💯💯💯
Little did he know everyone would be threatening to sue him for stealing our hearts forever after 🤣
Subscribed on 12/12/22, I'm 57, been a music fan, all types. Before I found BTS, 4 yrs ago, I listened to rock. And ive seen more concerts than I can count. But these guys, took over. It's opened me up to Korean groups, Korean rap, and I've never been happier. Plus I've been lucky enough to see the twice in concert. Absolutely phenomenal. I look forward to seeing you react to more.
Thanks Laura! I look forward to reacting to more of their material.
The thing is almost all you've mentioned about different people taste is part of BTS discography. The only thing that they haven't done I think is heavy metal, however they tend to use heavier sound for some songs when perform them live.
To showcase different sound they use I suggest to check the following songs (group/subgroup/solo):
BTS - Black swan
BTS - DDAENG
BTS - Louder than bombs
BTS - Airplane pt.2
BTS - Dionysus
BTS - Your eyes tell
Jungkook - Still with you
BTS - Not today
V - Winter bear
BTS - Make it right
BTS - So What
BTS - Stay Gold
Jimin - Lie
BTS - For youth
BTS - Run BTS
There are many more but I tried to include only those with very different sound. Not all of them have an official MV and in addition Louder than bombs was not performed live (still hope to hear it though) but all are super-high quality. So I'm sure you enjoy from music point of view.
Thanks for your reaction!
The BTS phenomenon is a lot more complex than you think. There are many companies from Korea and the Western industry tried to copy BTS success but all failed. You should check out the intro video by Taylor and a video call The next bts and why they failed.
You’re gonna wanna know their names. Trust me. I became ARMY in 2019 and I’ve never felt more passionate about a music group before. BTS are different and they bring something amazing. The connection they’re forge with us is something that can never be replicated. I wish you good luck on your BTS journey. 💜
Dynamite was released during the height of the pandemic when people are depressed from lockdowns, most music acts were either dead or taking a break. Dynamite and BTS bring happiness during the pandemic like nothing else. Dynamite has an important legacy.
Yeah I’m actually glad I saw Dynamite first. If I hadn’t there may have been a danger that I could have seen Mic Drop and made some assumptions about the group. Like “sure it’s amazing but I guess this is all they do. “
Check out their Tiny Desk concert performance. They perform with a live band and it’s more intimate.
I think you'll be surprised how many of us come more from a rock/general pop background and not k-pop.. Myself? I'm an alternative/modern rock girl, who purposefully avoided anything labeled with the dreaded "boyband" label like the plague, lol. But after seeing the links on YT so often, I finally clicked on this song for curiosity after seeing the views as well, and as soon as it started I said to myself "Oh no..." and even I couldn't have envisioned the rabbit hole that they are both as musicians and people.
Since you seemed curious about the original version, it's actually quite similar. The two main things Steve did was really lean into the beat and quite a few lyrics got changed to English, which made sense because this was around the time of their big debut into America. I actually prefer the lyrics on the original as it's less repetitive. (btw, you probably can't react to this as it's from a Music Show and they tend to block everything)
th-cam.com/video/22RRaO5AuOo/w-d-xo.html
Yeah I’m finding a lot of comments are coming from people with rock backgrounds and also people who are a little more mature. It’s great to see people finding new music to be passionate about.
@@PrymalChaos Totally agree from Wendy, a fellow Aussie (70 years of age) and new subscriber
just a small fun fact: all the fire and explosions in this mv are real!
Cool!
I'm a 73 year old great grandma who proudly admits to be a member of the ARMY. I watched this video some time ago because I wanted to see what the hype was about. They did not disappoint. Check out any live performances. I'm partial to their appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. It was during the height of the pandemic. The album is 7 and the song was titled "On" and it was performed in a the iconic Grand Central Station in New York city. The only people who were there besides BTS was the stylists, makeup artists, the production group and an actual marching band. You think their videos are great, their live performances are like a mini concert.
68 year old Auzzie here and l have been ARMY since 2017. BTS is not just about the music, it is their personalities, attitudes and work ethic that set them apart. Just as you discovered the difference between Dynamite and Mic Drop ,you will see a vast difference between all of their songs. I am not a Kpop fan to be honest because most of it sounds the same, but BTS is very different and unique. My favourite part of BTS ( besides the singing and dancing)is the lyrics. They seem to speak to people and understand what people of all ages are going through. At 68 l have been through many eras of music and enjoyed the songs, but BTS has overwhelmed me by their writing and production and of course their performance. My only regret is that l am not 40 years younger so l can live through the BTS era for a lot more of my life.
On Kinetic Manifesto is IMO the best MV they did. It's geniusly thought out and executed.
You have to see them performing live! Born Singer, The Busan Concert, ON Kinetic Manifesto plus the Practice dances so will have a look at the effort and hard work they put into their choreography Tini Desk Concert, etc. Yet to Come, etc.
BTS ROOM LIVE 2021 NEXTTT! its a medley of their songs throughout the years which encapsulates some of the genres they do! and also the chemistry and live performance skills!
Check their recent live performance of Mic Drop from their Yet To Come Busan concert held last October. You gotta see it. This is one of their old song but still they nailed it live. Thanks for reacting to BTS.
Mic Drop is specifically addressing all of those who throughout BTS' existence have put them down, criticized them for their looks and their small company, who questioned them as the underdogs that would never succeed. It's a final goodbye to say, good luck to you, but we found our way and now we are soaring above your criticism. Their path was VERY rocky and very hard. They struggled so much to get where they are. That attitude is so refreshing to truly say, this is our mic drop. The end. As Joon says in one of their Cyphers, 'You might now like me but you know my name"
ETA: one of the lyrics says "Once upon a time, we learnt how to fly" and that's actually very deep, because their previous album is called Wings, and the wings are a huge motif in that album and in lyrics which talk about flying in a way that ARMY has allowed them to fly. It represents finding a way above those that were holding them down. Finding a new way around road blocks. 💜💜
I cant really address enough how good it would be for you to check the Taylors introduction to Bts. Cause that will explain and most important, it will show you much better what they are about and also you will hear little snippets of the songs and understand their range in styles.
I agree, you haven't scratched the surface of how multi-talented yet humble these guys are. If you want to know more about each individual member you should watch A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7 by Taylor. They are not a boy band for teenage girls, their fans(called ARMY), are all ages. I am so glad my daughter introduced me to BTS about 3 years ago, I just wish it would have been sooner. Start down the BTS rabbit hole & you will never regret it. ARMY will not steer you wrong. So many recommendations, my personal fave is SAVE ME. They cross so many genres. Also recommend, 'ON' Kinetic Manifesto Film: Come Prima, Black Swan, Tiny Desk Concert, and so many more! 💜
I thought they were alright, but never really sought out their music until I saw the live performance of "Run BTS" (a different song than their song titled "Run") at their Busan concert. Their performance level and choreography, coupled with actual live vocals got me interested. I sought out more about them and their music, and I'm hooked. Not only do they produce fun/meaningful/etc. songs, but watching the many videos they've put out over the years of the boys interacting with one another and with fans draws you in on a different level. They really do seem to be who they claim to be: a group of regular guys who are humble, polite, and fun. By all accounts from people who have worked with them, they really are who they seem to be on camera. It isn't just an act. And they truly seem to appreciate their fans and one another, as well. I think fans want to connect to artists, but it's often difficult because they're either closed off, or aloof, or feel that they're too important. The experience you get with this group is wholly different. They really do make you feel like you know them personally, and that inhances the experience. That's one of the biggest reasons so many people support them. We want to see genuine people do well.
70 year old BTS Army here. The reason BTS is where they are is simple. It's because they chose to not focus on boy/girl love songs. Their music is all about the lyrics. They're about social injustice, depression/ mental health, bullying, follow your dreams, staying true to yourself, and self love to name a few topics. People connect with their music on a deeply personal level. Their songs are about following dreams, challenging norms, and staying true to yourself in the face of uncertainty. BTS themselves overcame adversity in order to achieve their dreams.
BTS is heavily involved in much of the songwriting.
You are so interesting to listen to. You bring up viewpoints not thought of by many (or perhaps just not verbalized). Thank you for the reaction. 64 year old ARMY here (there are more of us than you might think). One thing that caught my attention was your comment about watching them in Dynamite and perhaps thinking - whose the bad boy, whose the sweet one, etc. And your realization of that thought process now. There is a quote from Bang Shi Hyuk (founder of BTS and now chairman of Hybe)... he wanted them to be sincere and genuine figures that people could easily relate to and grow with, not immaculate idols groomed amid studio culture, but real boys who shared their authentic personalities and talents with the world.(reference - This is BTS, Introduction to BTS by xCeleste). It's a very true and revealing comment, in my opinion. It was the difference from the very beginning (along with their talent and drive). Seven individuals who are amazing together. Looking forward to more reactions, Thanks again.
You have only scratched the surface. Their story is ridiculous. You really need to see them do a live performance, that is what makes them special. Also the depth of the lyrics which you haven't seen yet.
I recommend the live at Busan Yet to Come concert, of Mic Drop and Run BTS. Since you just listened to Mic Drop it would be cool for you to rwact to the most recent live. And Run BTS with the live band is just off the chain.
😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for reacting to BTS.
I'm 62. My first Korean musician is Seo Taiji.
Then there was/is BTS.
They are really good musicians.
I also like Nightwish a Finnish Band. Each period with all 3 female singers.
I was lucky to see BTS and Nightwish live.
Both are real and amazingly good live.
Jin from BTS is now serving his mandatory time in the military.
RM Suga JHope Jungkook V Jimin are going to follow too.
Floor Jansen has/ had breast cancer and her surgery was done in October. Thank goodness the cancer is all gone. She started to perform on November 20 again. The European Tour.
The Asian Tour has been delayed because, her radiation therapy is going to start in January.
Both groups are one of a kind to me and also my daily happiness.
Don't get me wrong I like more and diverse good musicians worldwide.
Go watch this song live together with their great song Run Bulletproof Run at the live free concert from Busan.
You'll find it on their TH-cam channel Bangtantv with all different things they also do.
Take care and have a good day.
👍💜🍀🤘💪🇳🇱🌷🤗
I'm a 66 yo Aussie and found BTS 2.5 years ago. Flicking through Facebook and there was a post of an Asian Award show. It was MMA 2019 what a mind blowing experience!!! Then followed it with Mic Drop and I was hooked and fell into the vast rabbit hole. I think you are about to be educated. They have over 300 songs in their discography. I have yet to find one that I don't like. Their story is incredible.
I love BTS. I'm 55y.o. I took my autistic daughter to 2 BTS concerts in LV D1 & D2 in April 22'. The best I have ever done, great concerts, fans and show. There are so many beautiful songs, I will hope you continue reacting to BTS including their solos. They are all unique 3 rappers & 4 vocalists.
I was extremely depressed when I found them, and they have so many different genres of music, and then I learned their back story, and then I started watching their reality/variety shows and realized that who they are as people, and their music, was making me genuinly happy. They have songs that teach me to love myself, and then songs that make me dance, songs that I relate to relationship wise ect. I'm also a sucker for dancers. Jhope drew me in because of his dancing. Then I fell for all of them. They are genuinely kind people who work very hard. Jimin hopped on Weverse this morning (Well morning for me) to tell us he loves us and to stay warm, because it's getting cold out. They treat us like Family, and they go above and beyond to make sure we are happy. They joke around with us even. I could go on and on. I love their music and the message behind it, but I also love them as human beings. I'm rambling at this point. I hope you have a good day!!!
Maybe u can watch Black Swan next! It is my favourite song and also very different from dynamite or mic drop. The MV, lyrics, choreography, everything about it is really artistic. Really liked your reaction.😊
I was once a hater, simply because I thought they were another look-at-me, pretty boy, we're-so-tough boy band. I thought they were totally manufactured and had everyone else grooming them -- their only job was to look pretty and lip sync well.
I was SO wrong.
The reason I stayed around was because I saw their first speech at the United Nations (first of three so far), their campaigns with UNICEF to protect children, their lyrics for their many insightful songs, and their humble personalities.
The first time I actually watched them was a talkshow, where they came out with good energy, but humble hearts. I watched the way they built each other up and spoke in earnest. Then they proceeded to DESTROY the tiny stage with their amazing skills. It was like watching a group of kids you really think are sweet suddenly become superheroes. (I'm 44, btw)
After that, down the rabbit hole I fell.
ooohhh I wonder which perfromance it was ?
I wasn't a hater but I totally dismissed them as another boyband and never gave them another thought.
Until On, and Black Swan came on my recommendations. I was super sick at the time and said why not. It will just confirm what I think they are.
Black Swan really did me in, and then I just wanted to know names and that was it. It was like well, I just want to a little bit more, and now here I am. Someone who knows their discography, all their shows, all their interviews...I got sucked in.
I'm 43, and my family doesn't understand, then or now, when my playlists went from hard-core metal, rock, blues and soul to adding pretty much all the BTS discography.
Same story for me - and I'm 68!
Black Swan, ON, Dope, Silver Spoon, The Story Untold (made me cry the first time I watched it), Fake Love, 00:00 Zero O’Clock, Ugh!!, Spring Day (based on an accident and true story), Fire, I Need U, Run, I’m Fine, DNA, Pied Piper, Ampanman…the list goes on and on…they are amazing dancers, vocalists and overall performers. Glad you’re enjoying checking them out! I’ve loved them since I first heard them. ❤
Forgot to add GoGo; Blood,Sweat, Tears; Danger; No More Dream; Boy in Luv; Magic Shop; Mikrocosmos; Idol; Run:BTS, Your Eyes Tell (Japanese); Let Go (Japanese); also some of their collaboration projects …also they have solo tracks for each artist usually on their albums…which are stupendous. I recommend listening to their entire discography. You won’t be disappointed in their talents or evolution as a group! ❤️💜🧡🖤💛💚💙
The reason I love BTS is because of the storyline and deep lyrics related to psychology, mythology.... They have a way of writing that makes me feel like they understand fully what I'm going through and like they're really there for me... Lol it's hard to explain, I'm 30, I've NEVER been a part of a fandom or cared about a artist before in my life, but BTS are just different.... You'll understand better once you listen to more music and take the time to watch videos or read comments that explains the songs, most of their songs have really deep meanings and besides for some of their earlier music, hardly any of it is cliche love or break up songs....
Also everyone just loves their personalities, they're like a bunch of playful funny grown men kids 😅😆 so we just wanna support them the best we can because we wanna see and help them succeed in life and help them achieve all their goals.... They help us in many ways so we want to help them.... 🙆🏻♀️💜
Anyway, I hope to see more BTS reaction vids on your channel, I'm excited to see you fully understand why they get the billions of views and why we support them the way we do
I can't recommend enough that you check out their recent live performance of MIC Drop followed by Run BTS at their concert "Yet To Come in Busan". As amazing as their studio tracks and MVs are, NOTHING beats their live energy, :)
The thing about BTS is that they are seven different artists in one group.
Listening to just two songs is like seeing two letters in the title of an entire book.
BTS is versatility, fun pop, aggressive rap, criticism of society, deep lyrics with a lot of meaning, sad and beautiful ballads, it is comfort, it is mutual support between fans and artist.
They are seven young people telling their story (they come from a small company with no resources, even the seven of them slept in a small room) They invite you to stay strong despite the difficulties.
I recommend "RUN BTS" (be careful, "RUN BTS" is not the same as "RUN") Or "festa 2021" where you can listen to a bit of its variety.
Or my favorite "proof live", their lyrics are a bit melancholic because they started to say goodbye to do their military service and come back as a group in 2025.
Ahhh, now you are hearing true BTS! Dynamite was to lift all from the despair of Covid. They were in service to all of us. Keep checking out BTS, there is so much more, down the rabbit hole.
Thanks for giving BTS a second look. They truly are very talented and they take their craft very seriously. Their music is just fantastic and of high quality across many genres -- hiphop, R&B, ballads, etc. On top of that, I believe that fans worldwide are so big because they allowed us to get to know them more intimately when they're off the stage. You see their joys and pains, the depths of their friendships, all their goofy moments and then their utmost commitment to giving their fans the best.
Dear PrymalChaos: Dude, I want to throw you in to the deep side of the BTS POOL. UGH & Cypher 3 from the Live Busan Concert.
It has always astounded me how pd bang was able to pull pinnacle, peak performances out of everyone involved in the matrix of bts.
24 yr old army! Supporting your Bts journey.
Thank you!!
For a next step, I think Black Swan would be a great one, and after that maybe a series.
Any BTS song is great on its own, but many of them are written in the context of an album or an album series and I think that the way BTS tell stories over albums is one of the things that raises their art to the next level. Singularity is chef's kiss on its own, but in the context of songs such as Euphoria, Serendipity, and Epiphany, a lot more of its story can be understood. Add in another five to ten songs from that album series, and the picture is even fuller and more detailed.
yess
The fact that, unlike many that are only in the KPop machine, they were encouraged to keep their individuality and they write, produce and even now are doing the video production.
even mic drop is only one side to bts, there is so much more besides that and dynamite, so many different songs
And.....another one bites the dust! Buckle up the talent is undeniable, you're in for a bangin' ride!!!!
BTS stand fore me good lyrics, the members show intelligence, compassion and humor…all mixed up in a package of good music in different gangers..and of course dance when they want to. There’s to many to choose. But the rap lines Tear live in W.S London and Run live in Busan Korea is phenomenal.. and of course the members mixtapes. 🙂🇳🇴💜
Ohhhh you're going to enjoy their discography. I don't usually recommend this, but I think you might enjoy starting from the beginning and seeing how they changed over time. They grew up, their styles changed, their stories changed, and they developed more skills as performers. It's pretty cool to see.
They do pretty much everything, and they do all of it as carefully as they can, with attention to every detail. I'm already looking forward to your excitement. I love your point distinguishing liking something from judging its quality, and think it's a really important one.
Another approach to their work you might enjoy is to look at their solo work - all of them have at least a few songs out there, two have official solo studio album releases, and there are solo songs within BTS as well. All of them have done some amount of songwriting and production (RM is in the lead on writing, Suga on production) and they have their own voices. I suspect you'll enjoy learning each individual voice and then putting them together.
My favorite BTS song is always whichever one I'm listening to, but Black Swan, Spring Day, and Baepsae are a few that I come back to often. They don't really have bad songs, so it's just what you connect with personally. I like grief and rage I guess. Oh, and On.
Some songs have a powerful social context - which I'm mentioning because of Spring Day, which is the one where that matters the most. You might want to do a quick Google ahead of time if you're going to do that one. There are also quite a few that were written specifically for the fans and you'll miss a lot (the Yet to Come video is the best example) so you can decide if you'd rather wait until you'll get the references.
I'm subscribing - I like your approach! - and I look forward to this journey 😁💜
