#BTS - เพลง
Rise of Bangtan do not have some professional, she is the only one who is doing all the editing. Her name is Aneesa. She is a freelance editor. She is long time ARMY, since 2013/14. She said she could not express in words to her family and friends why she love BTS so much, why BTS mean so much to her, so she thought let me make something to show them. She started this series alone. But as this series grow bigger, more people volunteer. Now she had a group of translator who tranlate this series in various language and 1/2 people who help her to find all these clip. But the main editing and how the story will be told is determined by her.
She is another example, why ARMY is not just another fandom and BTS is not just another artist. ARMYs who have school, college, full time job volunteering to spend time to make videos about BTS, so that people can understand BTS and their message... for what? Aneesa (the editor of Rise of Bangtan) said this series is her love letter to BTS. This is how much BTS mean to a lot of ARMYs.
Yeah but Aneesa IS a Professional ^^
She said she went to the university to study editing and was in the top 3 of the best students according to the American Cinema Editors and now does editing as a job. She also edited for youtubers or even for Nickelodeon.
@@jessicaelle0988 yo, this was weird to read someone else say…
But yeah! I AM a professional! LOL or at least, I try to be.
Also hi, @Jim Games, thanks for your reactions!
@@TheRiseOfBangtanOfficial I love your work. Thank you for this series!
@@TheRiseOfBangtanOfficial OMG you are REAL. 💜💜💜
You are a living legend right now. Thank U for your excellent Docuseries. ARMYs love U so much. Respect for you and your hard work. BORAHAE 💜💜💜
GREETINGS FROM MEXICO 🇲🇽
@@JimGames Thank U for your reactions, I love them. 💜💜💜
The guy who called them girls is bfree, he's a "rapper", I think he's number one on ARMYS black list. He got arrested for assault and got released a couple of days ago. Bts called him out in theirs cyphers, you should see his rapping 😂😂😂 and the fact that he wears make-up in all his mvs is just 😂. Also he didn't apologise to bts until 2019
😡 bfree can suck a lemon.
@@JimGames hahahaha. Karma is an ARMY jim 😂😂
Can't wait for the next episode reaction. I watched this series like 10 times but I really enjoyed your reaction
@@JimGames 🤣 That's being too nice 😏His apology didn't seem sincere to me at all 😤 more like he realized how popular the boys had become, how strong ARMY had become.
I'll never forget Bfree. His name sounds like a menstrual pad.
@@karenabulencia 💀🤣
16:05 "Is it worth it ... to get that job that might make you a little bit more money, to keep your head just slightly above water so you don't drown and starve?" This is the thing that I can't get over (after it eventually dawned on me, but ofc I didn't know how to question it for so long)--why do we straight up *let people starve*? We really don't have to. We have the resources, and we systematically encourage people to hoard them. So what's the goal of our society? ...and what do we want it to be? And what would the systems look like that encourage that?
Also, yeah, mental health! Therapy is for everyone! (Make it accessible for everyone!)
32:43 "I can see how people might be upset because it's something new. But that's what art is .... you want to evolve the artform." YES! And I think this goes pretty well for everything, not just art. Change is scary (more so for some than others), but there is no growth without change and there is no life without growth! (Idk, maybe people especially scared of change think when you are "grown up" you are done growing?)
I am so enjoying this series and watching you learn more and more about the boys!! Keep it up Jim, much love and support to you on your army journey
1. FYI, It was Chuseok when they spoke and performed at the UNGA a few weeks ago, that’s why they were so eager to go back home…
2. No, Korea and i think the whole of Asia is very conservative and homosexuality is still not widely accepted, if at all.
3. The song is Attack on Bangtan
I'm waiting for more reactions!!! I really like it
Hello Jim, is there another reaction video of Rise of Bangtan chapter 4 ? I'm eagerly waiting, has your bell icon on 😅
thank you so much for reacting 💜
It’s on its way :)
Omg i can't wait for the next ep
When you do the reaction to the album O!RUL8,2? if you do a reaction to the video below can you tell me if you've ever heard the song that starts at the 1:39 mark before? I'm positive I've heard that music somewhere before but can't put my finger on it. It reminds me of a song I listened to back in the early 80's (oops, there I go showing my age LOL). Thank you! Have a blessed day!

Hmm, I gave it a listen, and I'm not sure. Possibly a sample.
@@JimGames Thank you for trying it's been driving me crazy LOL
Fans said they were sorry cause they weren´t strong enough to protect BTS from all the hate they were getting at the time.
aww
32:00 "I'm protective." EXACTLY! That's why ARMY gets a bad wrap. They're protective FOR GOOD REASON but everyone paints them as out of their minds teenage girls. That's not it. 🔥🔥
I was waiting for someone mention it
Even back then fans were already protective and felt sorry for BTS. They weren’t your typical idol group, rough and maybe a little rough looking by idol standards, a so called “repetitive” debut concept, no money or connections, and basically they got pushed back on all sides from under and above. That clip of Bfree you saw is the “under” part lol. If you weren’t part of the big 3 (SM, YG, JYP) you really weren’t supposed to have any sort of following. As I understand it, you debut with a big company you’ve basically already proven your worth and you have a following, that’s it. They still work extremely hard and have to be pretty darn perfect to keep their fans, but they already look good, sound good, act well and their company will get the gigs. Idol fans and those with power in the industry worked to sabotage BTS from a very early stage (because there was something about them, let’s be real) not to mention just constant hate online. Like you’ve seen it’s cutthroat over there, we’re talking death threats.
They got a lot of hate on their early years. They rely on their ARMY. Recently RM said: we received a lot of hate on those years, we thought that we had to defend ARMY but ARMY stood for us and received a lot of hate, too. 2! 3! is a song that we write for ARMY and is a code between us.
The Army and Bts lean on each other for support it seems. 💜
The synergy between BTS and Army is something I've never seen before. It's quite admirable!
@@JimGames yep it's a beautiful relationship
Interesting fact: Bang SiHyuk was furious at the way Bfree and the other Rappers disrespected RM & Suga that he went to Bfree's company to confront Bfree. He never got to speak directly to Bfree but did speak to his CEO. Bang Si Hyuk also took RM & Suga out for a meal to support them. You have to remember RM was only 18/19 and Suga was 20 at the time, while all the Rappers who were critizing them where in their late 20's!
Good point! RM knew those asses from his underground days. Not only were they bullied by trash who were 10+ years older but "friends"! Later in the show, in classic RM, he gently reminded them that someone in their crew auditioned for BigHit on his recommendation 🤭
Right?! And it was supposed to be an event celebrating them!
@@kw6180 It’s the jealousy for me! He wouldn’t have said anything about that if it was him in RM’s shoes 😬
@@MsRoxygirl333 ahhh I love reading Armys comments under his vids, it's therapy 😂
Who got the last laugh in the end, BTS! 😝😜😂🤣🤣🥳🥳🥳 im over here like,"WHOOOO? BFREE???" ehhh never heard of him. Im sure hes sitting somewhere on this planet feeling dumb as hell NOW!!!
If you watch "Parasite" or "Squid Game", this unhealthy glorification of an elite university education in South Korea is a theme. BTS members do not discredit a formal education, even if not from an elite university. Despite their crazy schedule, all of them are working on their Masters (Jimin & V got their Bachelor's last year with a special award by the university) except for the youngest Jungkook who should be getting his Bachelor's degree soon. Korea celebrated chuseok a couple of weeks back ☺️ Homosexuality is still taboo in South Korea. Billboard magazine did a disrespectful interview recently and RM as usual handled it with wit and class (but sigh, the prejudice never stop).
Sometimes people forget that in those clips they were literally kids (jungkook was also underage)... They were so mature for their age. This amaze me every time. Love your reactions💜
for me too . I am going to be 19 next month and always amazed by all of their thoughts . I also think deep comparing my friends but they are beyond my ability at their age but I think their surroundings and situations made them like that . but I am not sure if I could make right decision in their situations and would have enough courage for going against the society and government in that large scale .
BTS were so bold for releasing Attack on Bangtan when they did xD Declaring that they'd rise to the top when the chances of them staying around were so low, I guess they must have sung their fate into existence with that song
Korean older generation went through so much, war and starvation. Yet in a matter of 30 years they managed to get to one of the top countries in the world, not without collaterals. Parents still put their hopes in their kids for a better future.
BTS raised their voice questionning older generation ways.
Societal pressure is such an Asian thing and happens not just in SK but also Japan, China and Singapore. BTS themselves had to face so much oppression from their own families as they forged against the grain of their Asian culture. RM’s parents wanted him to be a salaryman, Suga fought with his parents and left home to chase his dreams of music production, and J-Hope’s dad didn’t approve of him dancing his way through life. Their music and messages resonate with ARMY and that they are so personal and relatable is why they are so loved.
I'll also add India here!
wait Suga didnt leave his home! its a fake info, i just cant with how much fake info spreads online and armys just basically spread it everywhere without fact checking!
Also yes they faced opposition from their families in the starting, once they convinced their parents, their parents supported them wholeheartedly!
Also, its not just SK, Japan, China, Singapore, not just East Asia, but also in the entire Indian subcontinent ~India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc
Who knows maybe whole of Asia?
@@anzalaaiman9971 Partly in the Philippines too
@@anzalaaiman9971 whole asia i guess. Asian parents have tendencies too to compare their children achievements with other people's children too. Building up the pressure for their children. Its so annoying tbh.
So all these serious topics BTS were discussing in their lyrics, this is NOT what other idol groups talked about in their music at that time, and honestly even now. The one exception being Seo Taiji & The Boys, one of the most influential groups in SK music history, who brought hip-hop to SK in the 90s, and is also known as the first “Kpop” group. But other than Seo Taiji in the early 90s, for the most part idol music had largely simplistic lyrics. They didn’t talk about societal issues or problems or changes in culture that must be talked about. That wasn’t normal or perceivably marketable by agencies, who are the ones writing lyrics for idols, not necessarily the idols themselves. What BTS did with their music back then in 2013/2015, using their music to talk about the real root of people’s frustrations and anxieties (in this case unmanageable school schedules and educational expectation in South Korea) and, especially, writing it THEMSELVES with their true thoughts and feelings, that was NOT done in idol music. But the creation of BTS and the goal of Bang PD, as well as the rest of the BTS members, was to challenge that formula in idol music. They did it to challenge that standard, but also to help people who have been wronged by governmental and societal bodies to cope. BTS’ rebellious spirit is not by accident, they were planning to rebel, them and Bang PD both, and the rebellious spirit is still just as alive today as it was then. That rebellious spirit is seen in songs from 2013/2014, like NO, it is seen in songs from 2017, Spring Day, and even now that rebellious spirit is still alive, like now with how much push back BTS is getting from the American Music Industry.
As an older ARMY, this was what drew me to BTS. Looks, production, talent, there’s plenty of those in Kpop and even in American music. But I have yet to find other groups who actually try to make meaningful and inspiring songs. I seriously wish girl groups can also make BTS-like songs, instead of just empty poppy music…but then again I’m probably asking too much for an idol group.
This is the reason why Seo Taiji himself officially passed the torch to BTS back when they did the special performance at the Seo Taiji & Boys 25th year concert.
@@marypaez2795 do you listen to Mamamoo? They are a female kpop group with incredible talent and great messages who aren’t like many other female kpop groups.
@@MariaChavez-ey5sr any specific song you can recommend?
@@marypaez2795 Egotistic and Hip are both great and notice how much more mature their singing style and videos seem compared to typical looks for female kpop groups and also great lyrics. I got into them because of the Olympics oddly. The top gold medalist in archery was from Korea and she was getting massive online hate for being a “feminist” from korean men because she has short hair and listens to Mamamoo (and BTS) and that was enough reason for me to dive in and their vocals etc blew me away.
SUGA and RM are so mature and strong people
Rookie Kings is where V and J-Hope had the kissing penalty. It came before Run BTS and there are only 8 - 10 episodes.
I saw that show too, it was fun to watch them but I also sad when I saw V rolling around after kissing
It's weird to wrap your head around in the beginning of discovering K-Pop regarding male to male affection in Korea compared to the west (at least it was for me). Men are more touchy feely with each other but homosexuality is not widely accepted. It's a strange dynamic. Some of what they do is considered "fanservice"...flirting with each other to get a reaction from the crowd. The kissing scene between V and J-Hope was a punishment on a series they were on (I think it was Rookie King). I can't count the number of times I have heard people assuming that BTS members are "gay" (because of this cultural difference) or "feminine" because of different beauty standards between the east and west. I personally love their dynamic and they have completely changed my perception of masculinity. It's kind of a shame that most western men can't express their love and friendship among themselves without feeling weird about it. Thanks for your reaction
I agree. It's just ingrained in us from a very young age to be this way.
It’s changing the way I raise my son. I’m more aware of my own ingrained ideas of masculinity and femininity
@@kayingthao5072 I love that....good job!
@@kayingthao5072 That's great...good for you!
@@kayingthao5072 that is needed growth! great for u both
14:30 this is what (for me) makes BTS' message SO important. A country where there is a pandemic of teenage s*icides because of the intense pressure they are put under, and here are a group of successful men saying "It's okay to not do as well as other people want you to do, focusing on what you want and being HAPPY as that is what truly matters" is SO important. It's easy for fans of other artists to say "this album sold more than bts'"....but the IMPACT their music has had on the youth is unbelievable. I saw a bp stan yesterday say that bp have achieved so much in a shorter period. And whilst yes, that's great for them (disregarding the fact that western doors have been opened to Korean music because of bts), none of their music has had the same impact. And that's what actually matters. Music can get listeners and that's great. But helping young people believe in themselves? That's beyond what any numbers can calculate. And we don't even need to mention stans of western artists...Jim said it himself in this reaction.
Exactly nothing beats impact. Also it helps with longevity as well
I don‘t even get the comparisons with this “fastest“. Yeah, good for the other groups, but in this case for example the comparison falls short, because BTS came from a small company unlike BP. BP‘s hype was already immense when they debuted because of the company. They had a lot of money, they were shown everywhere, they had advertisement from the beginning and they were not cut from broadcast. BP had already a good following due to the company. It doesn‘t mean that the girls didn‘t work hard, of course. I‘m sure they did and that the competition was also tough for them. It is just hard to compare, because BTS and Bighit had to build all by themselves from scratch. Bighit had not even a training system, when they signed the rappers! That is a huge difference. That is one of the things that makes it so impressive. BTS reached their goals without all those benefits and they were the first not from the big 3, who made it this big, even surpassing them. On top of that, the groups that debuted a few years after BTS had already more exposure, because of the rise in kpop (which can be largely attributed to BTS).
😮 YES! EXACTLY! It's so sad that so many people just can't understand why BTS is so popular, so beloved, and just judge them and their fans 😤
I have a hard time trying to explain it to people. All I can really say is they bring me joy like no other artist has. They motivate me. And with the way I've felt for years, that's a pretty big deal in my case.
very true. After all, what is all the glitz and glamor without the right messaging. Like what is the meaning of all the grand stages, awesome MVs, ridiculous choreos without the message of the music and the impact of it with the audience, that's not something short term. I think that's the reason, I have not been able to point a bad song from them...though, not everything is my favorite. That's sets apart BTS to other artists even those from the west.
What impressive awards has BP won ? They do reach 1 billion views quicker than BTS, but that is much easier to accomplish when you have a much smaller discography. Basically BP’s company are selling them using sexuality with empty songs. No comparison.
12:57 The Korean music industry is much faster paced than the western industries... Like you said in the west it's normal to release an album every two years, keeping fans occupied by slowly releasing single after single that will then later all be included in the album. In Korea it's the other way round, esp if you're just trying to make a name for youself. You gotta come out with two EP's a year minimum, with the lead songs dropping at the same time as the rest of the album, no teasing singles, in order to not be forgotten among the endless number of competitors. It's also common to release Japanese versions of your album often including original Japanese songs as well to promote in the Japanese market.
BTS too have consistently released two EP's or one album and one EP every year since debut. The only exeptions being 2019, where they only released one EP, Map Of The Soul: Persona, and this year 2021, where they haven't released an album at all, only two singles (Butter and Permission to Dance) as well as various collaborations and free songs on soundcloud. It seems like now that they've reached the top they feel comfortable taking longer rests between albums, and honestly deserved. They've been running so hard to get to where they are are now, so good for them to slow down to a jog :)
Thank you so much for your reactions, not only for our boys, but also your respect for humanity in general is really nice to see. I'm 17 and here, in Brazil, the pressure is also really shitty, we also have the national test and it makes my mental health go to hell, so it's really nice to see someone talking about how this pressure makes we all go crazy. Thank you 💜
Stay strong and follow your dreams 💜
It still amazes me with their ages, RM’s birthday they showed was him turning 19 (international age) so legally an adult in Korea but he’s so wise already, I guess with his IQ and the experiences he’d had so far up to that point it shouldn’t be surprising, but it still blows my mind when I think about it.
They try very hard to stay humble . They do variety shows and are some of the goofiest people still to this day. One of back up dancers in their most recent performance at the United Nation was shocked at how nice and kind BTS was . He said they all bow and thank everyone when they finished and all typed them up beginning of practice.
They don't actually try. They are naturally humble and kept it that way. Trying suggest some manner of fakery 😊
@@sariel8406 Both things are true. They have always been humble, but, when your life changes drastically and you become a celebrity, it does require effort to stay with your feet on the ground, to understand how other people live, and to remain humble.
Will I be open to share my deepest fear and gratitude in front of people?
If you asked me this 5 years ago, I would say no. But I would say yes today. BTS taught me to be 'be yourself'. I owe these 7 guys, my life in literal sense.
47:12 I was listening over Yoongi's most recent mixtape and in his song "Moonlight" there's a lyric that goes "One moment I feel like I’ve easily earned what I have and the next moment I’m compensated for the f*cking hard work I’ve done" and I think it's so interesting that all these years later, this humility and mindset is still something they bounce back and forth between. All of them have expressed this same troubled statement in one way or another and objectively, what IS the "correct compensation" for something? Does that even exist? It's almost like, until everyone is taken care of, there's always going to be that...hesitation? Uncertainty? Survivors guilt? Whatever the feeling is. Because honestly, BTS aren't the only people that work hard, they've just been lucky enough to have success born from their hard work. That's not the same for everyone and being aware of that can make living comfortably uncomfortable for some. I wonder if that's some of what BTS thinks or feels when they say things like that? I know I'm over thinking this, but it's just something I'm interested in haha
I don't believe you are over thinking it at all; I think it is a very real possibility. By what we know of them and have observed of them and their interactions with people, it is very likely indeed!
They have often said that ARMY raised them. This may be true to certain extent, ARMY used to send them food and underwear... you'll find out out why later down your journey. Til this day, they still gift eachother with underwear 😂
Man I also just can't with how young bts was here, basically still kids but already so hardworking
Hahaha.... Koreans are generally more touchy in fact. That's also what I heard from my American friends :-) Holding hands, putting arms around others' shoulders.... (or even on waists :-). These are friendly gestures among friends and brothers, and no Koreans would see it as homosexuality. Also know that some other Koreans nowadays avoid those gestures because they now know that those gestures could signal homosexuality from outsiders' point of view. The country is still quite conservative (there are big generation gaps), homosexuality is seen very very harsh unfortunately. I think creating their own variety shows, RUN BTS, was a great idea since they couldn't trust general media who often twist scenes depending on who they support based on money or merits something. Also, BTS, since they debuted so young, they are deprived of fun days, and RUN BTS has provided them to enjoy their growth with their members (leaving pressure among the members for a while). They got a strong bond from those experiences, I think :-)
I find it amazing that BTS "awakes" the same feelings , in so many different people. On paper I am very different from you, but I had the same feelings watching these docu series, ( which are AMAZING ) I just want to protect them, see them have fun, and succeed and be real. I just can't help myself to love them, and I just got to know them this summer. Like you say: passion is pouring out of them and it is infectious 💜 and whatever i watch about/with them I get goosebumps and I am still trying to understand why ☺️ keep watching BTS, and I will keep watching you 🤗
I think it's because you could see that they were being boycotted at the beginning, you know, they were going through difficult times, being cut in the shows or the shows didn't load the videos of their presentations on youtube stuff like that
I have never seen any artists or idols who talks and share their honest feelings with their fans like BTS does..thats one of their biggest foundation for their success today.. The sincerity and love they have for their fans and everyone who believe in them..and vice versa 😢💜
I have not been able to say this before on any comment section, but the comments here are really good, positive, informative, sensitive and mature.
I believe that says a great deal about you as a reactor, as well as about real ARMY.
Thank you, loving the reactions.
I was about to say the same thing
These sides of BTS is so hard to convey to people... when describing these guys it's just so hard to describe why they deserve all their accolades, love, popularity and success. Comparing them to any artist just doesn't quite do it justice... I don't think they're like the Beatles or MJ or anyone else... they're just BTS :) the brave kids who a brave man brought together with a dream of simply decided to do the right thing as often as they could.
That guy is "B-free", a rapper, one of ARMY most hated people in the world. You should check his comment section under his MVs. It's really funny. ARMY's shade is the best. He got arrested couple years ago. Karma is an ARMY 😉.
The funny clips were from "Rookie kings" their first variety show. You can find it on TH-cam or Dailymotion. 💜
🤣 I will
Yep, we are ALL very protective, no matter that they are all grown men now…I would actually place my body between any one of them and physical harm if the situation arose. Most Army feel the same. We love them, truly love them - we have watched years and years of content from them, they have shared so much of themselves with us, their sincerity and integrity is obvious - and they stay honourable and decent, regardless of what life (and shitty people) throw at them. They inspire us. They are truly good men. Not perfect. But always doing and giving their best. They remain humble, grateful, hard working, passionate, creative, loving, sweet, funny - everything we should all be striving for.
Finding BTS and becoming Army was one of the best decisions I ever made. 💜💜 Thank you for a great reaction
Can't wait for your next reaction I'm already addicted to your channel already💜
Thank you :)
22:57 No the odds are definitely not in their favor. Which makes it even more phenomenal how much they’ve achieved just in 2013/2014/2015 alone, let alone today looool.
23:57 YEEEES PREACH MAN!!! So many people don’t fully realize that!! Thank you!!!!
25:45 So…in SK skinship (cuddling, hugging, sitting in each other’s laps, etc.) is common. It is a physical sign of closeness between friends/family/people you care about etc. not necessarily just a sign of romantic attraction, like we would see here in the West. It could be assumed that due to that homosexuality in SK is embraced yet sadly, homosexuality in South Korea is EXTREMELY looked down upon, to the point where Human Rights Services had to step in and tell SK businesses and government that they can not discriminate against homosexual people and not pay them, fire them for that reason, etc. It’s a very big mess there, sadly. In the entertainment industry, not idol groups specifically, coming out as homosexual is almost a suicide attempt in your career. One person did it in the early 2000s and he immediately lost everything. However, in recent years, 2018 or so, about two people in entertainment came out and though they have received heavy backlash for it, they can still do singing, thankfully. So….small steps forward. US is much more advanced for LGBTQ human rights in relation to SK.
28:14 You’ll slowly learn every BTS song is epic 😈😈 Soon enough you’ll never be able to match any artist of today to what BTS have done and are doing. Enjoy! 🤗🤗
32:50 YES PREACH YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IS WHAT BTS ARE TRYING TO DO
34:35 Yeah pretty much, so many people who had BTS, and just idol groups from small companies in general, are not taken seriously. Yet another hurdle that BTS had to overcome.
35:08 Yes we all are protective over BTS but as you are now understanding, it is for good reason. This first antagonistic event is going to be the first of many and they will go through an endless amount of antagonism to come that I simply haven’t seen coming at any artist today, and you will see it all as you go through this documentary series. So it’s understandable, the protectiveness, and you are starting to understand why by this research you are doing. Many outsiders perceive that protectiveness in bad light but it’s simply because they don’t know what BTS have gone through, so thank you so much more than your understanding but you actually TRYING to understand us. You’re one of us now anyway 😂😂 Okay went in a bit of a rant there, back to the video now 🙂
35:50 YES!! That’s what I love about RM in that moment too!! In public he is so, so careful and considerate of all his words, because he knows he has influence and audience and wants to use it for good. The place he lets out his frustration about the event will be in the music 🙂 It’s the same for BTS in general, in public, in areas of great influence, they always try to show their best side to us as fans and people as general, and the gritty feeling they can’t necessarily show on screen they have an outlet for by putting it through their music. BigHit and Bang Pd were caring, realistic, and considerate enough to give them that outlet as entertainers and idols.
37:54 yes that’s why fans felt bad for them. BTS and BigHit were NOTHING in the idol music industry, let alone entertainment in general. They couldn’t get on stages for music shows, they couldn’t get air time or their air time was cut due to them being so small. They just took what stage they could get, and so every performance they did they did as if it was their last because it very well could have been. They had no way to truly get themselves out there except for their albums, and if the albums did bad they were done because BigHit had no money to spare at all. Fans back then felt bad because of all those things because there was no grounded, reliable way in which they could support them in the music industry world outside of album sales. Like, imagine in your group chat getting the hang together on a school night to go see them at a nearby show and making all preparations and you get to the line and look at the line up and they aren’t there. Because they were in a small company BTS were shoved in last minute or excluded form line up altogether, so some fans who could go to the shows would only know BTS were there an hour before show time, so BTS could have gone on stage with no audience for them due to the last minute line up. THAT was what BTS were facing and that’s why so many fans felt bad for them.
40:20 Yes exactly, another reason BTS stood out from all other idol groups, at their core they didn’t act as idols, as they were perceived to act. They were leaning towards acting and showing their human side, as seen through these logs and behind the scenes stuff. Idols did NOT do that back then, you never saw that vulnerable side, but BTS were brave enough to do it. They WANTED to do it! Them and BigHit both from their beginning, their goal was to always go against the unfair practice and expectations of idols.
44:44 It’s so brave, so freaking brave. If there is one thing I can say about something in common with every single BTS member in their personality is their bravery.
47;30 loooo yeah it was like group therapy, most definitely therapy for BTS 🙂 I’m so glad that was done.
47:34 Jin is just such a fucking real person man. He’s amazing. He’s a big part of the reason BTS stay humble. You’ll see this in later videos but Jin really, really has a way of staying humble and realistic and inspiring the other members to do the same. He’s definitely a big reason BTS are so humble today, being the biggest thing ever on the planet.
53:14 You go man!!! I’m happy for you
You know I got to say I loved your reaction so freaking much!! I loved how dynamically you perceived everything. Perhaps it’s because of how much your researched beforehand but you understand BTS and their beginning perfectly so far!! Thank you!! I’ll see you for the next reaction and I hope you like it just as much as you liked it now. RoB is truly brilliant
I'll watch every chapter with you, it's interesting to listen of your thought about this journey
Thank you 💜
@@JimGames Totally agree. Will definitely watch all the chapters with you. Love the video format & enjoy your insight on our 7 amazingly talented dorks. ARMY can be very protective of BTS and you can understand why.

It is so heartbreaking to know that during college entrance exam season they close off classrooms and sometimes don't let kids get up and patrol school roofs because kids have jumped from them:// the pressure on kids is too high, not just in SK but everywhere
wow
@@JimGames instead of closing off roofs to prevent things from happening they should maybe look at why kids would even get to that point, but even that seems too much to ask.....:/ (as in, they don't wanna cuz they know they'll be at fault for the kids' pain)
@@lottieb8826 exactly!
@@lottieb8826 You can’t fix that issue tho cuz that’s just society for you over here!
U have to study hard so u get into the best universities for a good job/future. The competition is extremely high since everyone wants to achieve this.
Maybe it’s a cultural diff & the values ingrained in us but everyone here works hard. You can’t not succeed in life. If u aren’t fully educated/earn well/have a family you are bound to be looked down upon!
My parents don’t pressurize me to study because i know I have to and do my part, I spend my entire time studying, come home at 8pm just to study again. Covid was a boon for me since I can simply attend online and have time for myself sigh.
@@harika_9399 ooh yeah i get that there are cultural differences, and i agree that studying is important. But it is just so sad to me that people (all around the world) push the kids so hard that they see no other way out than ending their lives, even in a society that values hard work that shouldn't be so common
Please pause the video if you are going to read comments. You missed the entire log at the start from RM because you were looking at the comments section instead of what he was saying. I know your main interest is the music and there is nothing wrong with that but it feels disrespectful to BTS and Aneesa when you do not take in what they are saying or watch the video she spent so much time putting together.
Edit: And you immediately looked away again once Jin was speaking. Please just react to music videos and albums if that is all that interests you, there is nothing wrong with doing that. But as a content creator, it pains me greatly to watch you constantly look away from the video you are supposed to reacting to and read the comments instead.
I was an English teacher in South Korea and a fellow teacher told me that one of his students who was 12 years old, jumped off of her 3rd floor balcony and killed herself, because she didn't want to tell her parents she received a B on a paper. I had many students who would fall asleep in class because they attend Hagwons (Cram schools) until midnight. I taught elementary school. These are young kids who already have the weight of the world on their shoulders and they haven't even hit puberty. I felt so bad for my students. 😔
That’s horrible! I really feel for these poor children.
Loved the reaction, I’m really enjoying rewatching RoB with you! I wasn’t on Twitch so didn’t get to see your album reaction but I hope you like it. One of my favorite things about it is the text album name, ORUL82?, makes it seems like it will be light or frivolous, but when you look closer at the lyrics, it’s about the risk of being late for your own life, which is so incredibly deep. Classic BTS. 💜
The whole V and Jhope kiss scene is hysterical 🤣🤣🤣 You need to see the whole thing for reference LMAO 🤣
I especially love the smeared lipstick and out of breath looks afterwards!
V and Jhope almost died there lol
Man, I know exactly what you mean when you said your heart was breaking right then. You must be so very empathetic to see, even feel, in that moment the full lifetime impact of the expectations that S. Korean children must live with. This is one of the reasons I get so mad at the hateful comments and intolerance from fandoms. They are making life just a little bit worse for someone, instead of being supportive and sticking together as one.
I'm not Korean, so I can't speak for them, but from what I observed and learned from fellow ARMYs, LGBTQ+ community is still not very accepted in SK. The guys, however, are very affectionate with each other. You can often see them hugging, touching, sleeping together etc, which from a western POV might seem a little bit 'too much', but it's a culture thing I guess. I think I read somewhere that they don't find it that weird when two boys are this close since "there's no way for them to be together (as a couple)" (since they don't support the idea of two people of the same gender being in love).
The guys (BTS) themselves never revealed their sexual orientation (and it's honestly not our business whatsoever) and never openly talked about supporting the community (if I'm not mistaken) but a lot of their love songs are gender neutral and they have always tried to spread the message of "love is love". They're not afraid to show love for each other, some are more affectionate than others, but overall they're very close and treat each other like family.
They have openly spoken about supporting the LGBTQ+ community. They have spoken about many LGBTQ+ movies, saying the theme is why they like and recommend them. They also have always supported and recommended LGBTQ+ artists, such as V's favorite photographer being known to take naked photos of gay men and them being big Troye Sivan fans. Bang PD recommended The Blue Neighborhood Trilogy (Troye Sivan's trilogy MVs about a young gay couple) to the boys and stated that he felt like it held an important message. BigHit also had the first non-binary K-pop idol (who J-Hope is very good friend with) who told a story about how Bang PD gifted them their first pair of heels. So we can see from the Troye Sivan recommendation and Bang PD’s support of his idols, their boss is very supportive of the community and seemed to strive to make sure BTS was educated on the LGBTQ+ community to some extent. RM also tweeted about loving the song Same Love (a song about marriage equality) and loving it even more after 'reading and investigating the lyrics'. In their Love Yourself speech at the UN, RM explicitly said 'gender identity' showing inclusivity to the trans and non-binary community, rather than just saying 'gender' or 'sex'. Suga also owns and sometimes wears vans that were sold during Pride month that was used to raise money for the LGBTQ+ community. If we want to talk about direct support for the community, Suga is the only one who has directly spoken about it. When asked in a Billboard interview if they supported the LGBTQ+ community, Suga explicitly said, "There's nothing wrong. Everyone is equal," showing direct support for the community while the other boys didn't directly answer the question (probably due to Korean social norms).
@@ipurpleu1668 this!!
@@ipurpleu1668 yess!!!! Thank you for mentioning all this
their songs are not gender neutral....they literally say "girl"
@@lilyoongi146 they used to say girl a lot in their older songs but recently they do it less and less, it doesnt mean all of their songs are gender neutral but they definitely have a lot that are
they don't HAVE to come back after four months (there are groups that have long gaps between comebacks for various reasons, for example, blackpink are known for their eternally long breaks between comebacks yet small amount of songs), however bts themselves have personally worked really hard to release all the music they want to put out, which is why they have comebacks very often (they've only slowed down recently, it's been almost a year since their previous album but i think it's because of logistics and the pandemic, and the fact that they have crystalized their own style but also have more eyes on them which has turned them into even bigger perfectionists for their own projects). suga's vault of personally produced songs is huge and i'm pretty sure we haven't even heard 2% of them...
BangTan genuinely love Army and Army genuinely love BangTan💜
For a little more depth in the N.O music lyrics , when RM. says “ hands up to the SKY “ it’s not just talking about the sky itself but it’s an acronym for South Korea’s best university which students try so hard to get in .
If your interested in the way they write they're lyrics i would highly recommend the writing styles of bts by Mera on youtube! It's so good! And it needs more attention!!
I’ll check it out. Thank you
Rookie King was their first variety show, a TV show for new groups... They play games and those who lose the games have to do penalties, such as getting pinched, drinking a vase of spicy smoothy, dressing like a girl, etc... (Run BTS was modeled after these type of Korean variety shows.) The kiss was a punishment, the punishment was to recreate a scene from a movie. (It was the first Korean movie do depict a gay romance, the kiss is the final scene and it's sentimental/cute scene, I think.) It was just a peck, obviously. ARMYs think it was funny, I guess. (Yoongi thought it was hilarious too, he was pushing their heads, the little demon lol). Gives me high school memories of playing the truth or dare game 😩
There is so much content waiting for you
This is not hate at all, but i think when u say that they seems to be so connected w army, I think it’s because they put it all in the fans, they do the hard work but without the fans that hard work wouldn’t be supported. Other singers that debuted in big3 what could happen if they fail? Obviously they could be disappointed they’ve worked so hard but probably they can keep doing others thing. For example BP i guess they really appreciate their fans but so far i know that one of the members even wanted to be an actor not a singer, and she is starting that way now, and probably is that don’t works they can keep going, they never go through no money situation, no support or something like that because the privileges of being in the big3. But BTS in that time have nothing but their hard work and passion, Suga had say that him worked doing delivery job and one time he get into an accident, his family was poor, and he didn’t say anything about the accident cause the company was paying his studies, and bts aren’t just singer but trully artist and performers, producers, songwriters, they love music and they put it all in just one hope, in army. I think that’s because the relationship was different. When they win something I watched clips no like awards speech where they say as if they wants to work harder to compensate us but they already do we support their hard works because it deserved it, they come from nothing and that makes the relationship really trully.
lol im doing a comment again but idc so
As person who likes hip hop and is informed i can say that no, idols can’t be called real rappers just because they talk fast when they don’t even touch a pencil or have 3 songs and as harder as it is these are facts, in kpop i just know 3 rap lines who are or have real rappers. Talk fast, shout, make a deep voice or w “flow” dont make them a good rapper or even a rapper, bts has the best rap line causa have three real rappers, who were underground or learned in the pure ways of hip hop as j hope did, im not an underground rapper so I can’t understand that guy but for sure is stupid thinking if u have an opportunity to get paid u wouldn’t take it just because of what they thinks, and for the hip hop I don’t think they betrayed it in some way cause hip hop is not just how they looks or if they get paid or not, the thing is they’re real rappers and in kpop the best ones cause their flow/syllables in time/lirycs/wordplay etc:)
Bts made the idol-rapper concept works but they do it because before they were real rappers, but the man is not wrong at all, one singer is not a musician, is not a rapper, is not a songwriter, is a performer and not always a good one. In kpop there’s so much “rappers” who just called themselves like that because that was the position that the company gives to them, that doesn’t mean they’re actually rappers
@25:30 i think they’re playing the pepero game but someone push their heads togehter and end up touching lips 😂
Those were clips from one of their their variety shows (Like Run BTS!) They play games or do challenges and there are rewards and punishments. The punishment was V and J-Hope had to kiss.
It was Rookie king
@@ilikehatecommentsmorethann5825 Thank you I couldn't think of the name of that one. I knew it wasn't Run BTS so that's why I said like Run BTS! LOL
Exactly what you said,..this is why we love them so much. I am 51 years old and never in my life I thought that I listen to Kpop and watch everything about them. 💜💜
In Korea there's a thing called skin ship... men are normally very touchy with one another. But the country is a pretty conservative though.
Kinda funny though I live in South Africa and we're pretty progressive. Same sex marriage is legal and my college literally has gender neutral toilets.
cant wait for you to continue on this BTS journey!! I'm always amazed at how humble and respectful they are to everybody even now when they are huge!!!
Fastest disbandment was 5 days, I think? It happened a couple of months ago. Mostly due to the company being scummy and not having any money.
You have only scratched the surface and you are already getting protective over them. You are starting to understand ARMY! Can I suggest you tag on the deleted scenes and bonus content episodes as you need these too!
Rookie King was their own show and a way of playing with ARMY. This morphed into the monster that is RUN BTS, the best show in the world! They are up to episode 155!💜
I am at the age when everything is pressuring me, idk if being an Asian is one of the reasons why I am like this. I study too much, I became too harsh on myself to pass everyone's standards and expectations. I dont want to be like this, N.O.'s lyrics means so much to me
The only standard that matters is your own. I have a feeling you are going to do great things. Stay strong my friend.
@@JimGames thank you! Your words means a lot 💜
Liking this series of yours! So excited for you to continue watching their story
Korean standard is really too much. Education system is too harsh, being an idols/celebrities has too many unrealistic qualifications (even the little mistakes that you made in the past would affect your career badly), even being a normal citizen has standards, from skin to weight to everything. The suicide rates is a reflection of those.
Oh man, you haven't even actually listened to their music yet! You're in for a real treat and I'm glad to take part of your journey through this BTS rabbit hole. I'll get my popcorn ready! 😆😍
BTS Rookie King is one of the funniest variety show I have ever seen. You may love to watch when RM & Suga got a punishment to dress like a girl (Sailoor Moon and the maid). That was super hilarious!
oh my god i cried when N.O played holy shit i am tired of everything
Can't wait for the next reaction!
Thank you! Again, great reaction. ☺️ I'll be waiting for your next reaction to the next chapter.. 👍💜💜💜
Thank you for taking the time to watch this series. I appreciate Aneesa and her team's work more when reactors share their insights. I'm subscribed to your channel and I always look forward to rewatching this series with you 😊.
Loved this reaction! But if you are making one episode per video PLEASE make as well the Deleted scenes and Bonus content right after. Because it's literally the continuation of episodes and only make sense to watch it right after. She had so much work doing this, it's really worth it to check. There are literally things that were on the chapters but in a extended version and stuff like this.
31:21 If you look at the response of RM and Suga, and realized that they where just teenagers. They where holding their own, how mature their response was..
Great reaction! BTS are so adorable and entertaining ❤
You said MCAS? I know where you’re from then haha. I’m a teacher in MA and omg the students have to do MCAS even during this pandemic. My poor students are so stressed this year. 😞
Also NO is just one example of BTS pushing back against older generations and societal issues (Baepsae, Not Today, and a B side called Paradise are some more great examples). It’s a big reason I love them. They are respectful but assertive. They are humble but they really push back.
When you get to Cypher pt2, you’ll hear Suga and RM clap back at B Free (the rapper that called them girls). It’s very satisfying. He isn’t doing well in life or his career these days either haha.
Hi Jim, glad you’re taking this approach, cos one of the things that is striking about BTS is the organic development of their music, as they themselves grew from teenaged boys to young men. As artists, they genuinely LOVE music and allow themselves to explore different genres. So you will see as you journey along. You’ll find they do R&B ballads, jazzy numbers, even as they continue to do hard retro Hiphop, techno and disco pop… They experiment a lot, and refuse to be pigeonholed. So you see them evolve. And whatever they can’t do as a group, they do in their solo mixtapes, as gifts to their fans. Look out later for RM, Suga & JHope’s mixtapes. Works of genius, truly mind blowing. (BTW I’m over 60, and a classical music and rock fan. So, not a teenage girl fan.)
I'm enjoying following your BTS journey! I watched your album reaction on Twitch and I found your reaction to the skits very interesting but I think you actually gave the answer to your question yourself: The skits allow us to connect more closely with the members. Also, BTS albums follow a narrative arc, they are more than
just individual pieces of music put together. The packaging is also part of the whole artistic concept, by the way. In that sense, the skits are simply part of a bigger narrative that goes beyond music. By the way, 2 Cool 4 Skool is called a "single album" by Big Hit, so it's basically their extended debut single. As it's part of a trilogy, I don't think ARMYs have ever seen it as too short. The spelling is supposed to look cool, like in advertising our youth slang ("kidz", "Froot Loops" etc). I guess ARMYs consider it as charming rather than cringy. After all the boys were between 15 and 20 (international age) when they debuted, they really were very young. Looking forward to your next reactions!
Fast forward to 2021 and they’re still the same. Always communicating with us in all platforms, always being grateful to us. The biggest band in the world yet you see them asking dinner recommendations from us, asking how we’re doing, recommending us songs, talking to us like we’re best friends. I’ve never seen an artist like them. Just incredible.
Just a question Jim. I know it's hard to do this but I couldn't be there when you reacted to the music for O R U L8, 2. Is there my any chance you can upload it later on TH-cam like you did with the 2 cool 4 skool one. I know it will be really hard to do that with all the copyright things but I was just wondering if anything could be passed cause I didn't get to watch it on twitch.
Yeah I’m im going to edit out a few songs I really enjoyed for YT. It might just take me some time.
"Watching Bts, it's like hanging out with buddies" (you, haha). YES! This is why we love them. Some Armys are very thirsty, lol, but some of just want to be best friends with them. Wait until you watch a Run episode or In the Soop - the boys are so naturally funny and charming - and it's very obvious they all love each other very much and it's not fake for the cameras.
RM said as a Teen he had a conversation with his parents about continuing his education or going for his dream to be a Rapper.
He stated he asked his parents something like “would they rather have me be in the top 500 or 5000 in the city or be 1st at the what I’m passionate about?”
Love your reaction to this series. Can‘t wait for the next one 💜 Is there already a date when you will stream the next one?
It’s in the works now. I’ll be sure to post an announcement as soon as the team helping me gets the links together.
I am crying again watching this. It's just amazing how they are so humble upto this day. If it was me I honestly won't be able to humble myself with all these achievements and supports. I am just being honest
They are wholesome, humble men! Love who them, and loving your journey and commentary/reactions! Thank you, excited for the next episode! As if I haven't seen it many many times lol. 💜😁
I soooo want you to watch the most recent rise of bangtan chapters 🥺 i hope you wont give up on the middle and finish the series🥲 thank you for the first 3 chapters you really post a lot and its appreciated
I won’t give up 😉
i love how much input you had for this video. It only gets better
Are you gonna post the album reaction?? I missed the live because I was studying 😭😭😭
I will try to edit some or the reaction to TH-cam.
When bts made N.O they literally saved millions of lives, special for people that where going threw that process of school and success, and prevented then from commiting suicide. And people from South korea respects them so much for that and that's one of the reason the country has so much respect for them, even it back then they were traded unfairly. And I'm saying this because my friend was living in South Korea at that time and the reason she got into bts was because they stopped her from committing suicide, she was tired and school was such a big deal. I'm glade she's here and is so much better.
N.O is a fantastic song and I completely stand behind the message. I hope your friend is in a better place nowadays.
31:54 ... "I'm a little overprotective" ... Haha, you just turned into BTS ARMY. Welcome, heh.
Innovation it is.
That frickin interview,… grrrrr!! ……..and Behold! The CYPHERS were born!! 🔥 😈
Can't wait to see your reactions to ather amazing bts songs😍☺
Naurr jhope and v accidentally kissed when its not what they wanted cuz namjoon pushed both their heads😭 if you will see the video.. you will see how v and jhope both got disgusted after it lmaoooo
They meant to kiss, it was a penalty. It was Suga pushing their heads together to just get them to do it instead of hesitating.
@@ipurpleu1668 yeah they meant to kiss but they didnt get closer yet until yoongi pushed their heads thats why i said "accidentally" lmao
@@shnlrn. It still wasn't "accidentally".
@@ipurpleu1668 fine? If you say so. I cant express it well in english cuz its not my first language but okay
I love to see you go through the journey. To see you go through what we call “through the rabbit hole”! Now you understand why army love and is so protective of them. Thank you for sharing with us. Much love. 💜💜💜💜
RM has a 148 IQ. Genius level. Super smart and a beautiful human.
Hope you're enjoying the music. I really appreciate that you're looking at doolset's translations
Don't worry Jim. They pretty much destroyed that guy - a crap rapper named BFree. Just wait till you get to Cypher 2, lol. anyway that guy's career went nowhere, mainly because he sucked. He's either in jail right now or just got out recently.
Sorry for my rage moment. I try to keep things light-hearted and fun but F that guy!
