I love how focused he is in the details of the video and doesn't ignore anything. This is the best reaction I've ever🤍 seen, I love it ❤
I was thinking the same thing. I know he watches other artists, but I hope he comes to appreciate our guys a little more 💜
Thank you For the video
Same. I can’t believe I watched the whole video with him!
Focused yeah but he doesn't read right sometimes, and doesn't understand sometimes
I really wanted to learn tbh! Where should I start my journey?
J-Hope does not feel the beat, HE IS the beat 😂😂
Yes!!
Truee 😂
I don't think he has bones???? LOL
So true I love Jhope ❤
J hope is Amazing!
Bts content is kind of never ending, army for like 6 years now and theres still SO MUCH for me to see.
SAME! I have been an Army for 5 years, I still have not seen everything. But I LOVE BTS with all my heart.
True. Altho I feel sad that they're going to the military, I'm not feeling empty coz there's so many content and knowing Bighit, they'll be releasing more and more to keep us entertained while the guys are gone. I used to think 2025 is too far away, but we are already halfway 2023. And the members keep in touch a when they get a time off too. I've made it a personal goal to collect all their albums while they're gone. And saving up to travel in case they hold a world tour (I'm guessing my country won't be included again so I'll come to them this time lmao).
@@thatpersonyoudidntknowexis149 yeah exactly! and thats a good idea! im gonna do the same, i do have most of their albums and Seasons greetings, summer packages and Memories OF but theres still some albums and versions i dont have, im also collecting photocards haha, but yeah same i live in sweden so its not easy for me either.. but guess if they go to london again i could go there
Sameeee😂😂😂❤
@@thatpersonyoudidntknowexis149 Good idea! Im also will try to collect their older albums and catch up on their RUN BTS episodes in the mean time. I will for SURE be saving money for their comeback concert because I'm determined to see them perform live again, but this time with my mom who has never seen them live, except when she saw Yoongi live for the Agust'D concert.
71 year old Army here. Every country that has an itunes chart can have a different #1 song. That is why a song can have so many #1s.
There are two main dancers, J-hope and Jimin with J-hope being the dance leader.
Thank you for an excellent reaction! 💜
36:00 as the oldest, he was the first to enlist on December last year. He's now an instructor in his base, job position not many soldier trainees can do, since it requires strength, discipline and hard work. He got that in him 150%. He had a rank bump recently too.
J-Hope got in in April and after the 5week mandatory training, he became an instructor as well, you can see why with their 2 short profiles here ;)
nods.
jin the corporal☹️ i miss them sm
he came yesterday and hold event for today
time flies
1:16:31 I remember being part of this. Everyone was scrambling and trying to spread the word to meet the goal. It was hectic but fun. Sucks that the organization turned out shady but BTS' and ARMYs' intent was goodhearted.
An honest opinion 👌
i remember i was DIRT broke back then and was like damn 😅 the one time i can’t donate. its okay tho i planted some trees for BTS 💪💪
Omg😭 I LOVE THIS FANDOM💗💜
I am happy BTS found you and that your journey down “the rabbit hole” will be accompanied by all of us Army! This will be one of your happiest journeys! In your reactions - pause as much as YOU need to and ask all the questions you want answered - we are all happy to help you out. We are used to long reactions (over an hr) and we are fine with that. There is a reason there are world wide. These seven men are very special and their parents raised amazing children! Enjoy the journey and we will be accompanying you along the way! Borahae! 💜🫶🏽🫰🏽💜
Really enjoyed your reaction. Side note; Their ages are off by 1-2 years due to Korea having a different age system that just changed last week. JK was actually 13 when he joined the group and that is why he told the guys thank you for raising me. Suga would work extra side jobs to bring money in to help pay for his meals other things for the other members. The guys have actually been together longer than 10 years as well. RM and Suga lived together since 2010 and then the rest of the members started joining. V and Jimin went to high school together and have a closer relationship with each other because of that plus they are both 95 (the year they were born) and why sometimes you will hear the word soulmate when it comes to them too because they are best friends and can read each other easily. BTS lived in that one bedroom apartment for a few years and then were given the option to move out on their own but they decided to stay together and got a bigger apartment where once again they lived there for another few years. They once again had the option to move out on their own but once again decided to stay together till 2021 when they finally got their own homes. I think has been key to them being super tight plus how they resolve their issues. They are brothers who love, support and defend each other. No other group is like that. There is no jealousy or competition energy amongst them. They actually help each other out in their solo projects. The more you dive in, the more you learn about them. How can you not respect and love them. They give us so much hope to keep pushing because there is light at the end of the tunnel . If you want to learn more, check out these videos. They give more insight on them. Also if you can, look at their Bon Voyage and In the Soop Videos.

💜Welcome💜BORAHAE💜
I think Korea went to international age the end of June, so every one got a year yunger. So the year they were born is accurate.
@@eileencullinan2936 never said the year they were born. It’s about when JK says he was 15 when he joined but he truly was 13. There are clips where they are asked how old they are and they look at RM and he tells them to give their international age so not to confuse people.
Im just reading what Taylor put on the screen. It said he signed at 13 and debut was 2 years later when he was 15.. I saw what he said in the clip ,which is confusing.
I learned a lot that I didn't know from your comment. Thanks for that! And thanks for the links!😁
❤thank you x
60 year old army ex academic. BTS ARMY comes from all age groups and walks of life. They are special and it's good to see reactors respecting their work, talent and characters. They stand for a lot and there is no group that ticks all the boxes yet remains humble and sincere to their craft and their fans. Each and everyone deserves love and respect. We may have our biases but OT7 is the best.
There is so much BTS content. They really paved the way for the younger idol groups...ie Stray Kids, when it comes to online content. If it weren't for them, SKZ code, SKZoo, etc. and similar content from other groups would probably not exist. (Fun fact - Lee Know was once a backup dancer for BTS and you can catch glimpses of him in some of their stage performances). There are a lot of things that are missing from this intro now that it's a year old. Jin and Jhope are now serving their mandatory military time (18 months minimum) with the others to follow soon. They got matching tattoos (only Jimin and JK were members that already had tattoos), and they released an anthology album in June of last year "Proof" that included a few new songs, the vocal line (Jin, Jungkook, V & Jimin) had a song with Benny Blanco & Snoop Dog released ("Bad Decisions"), J-Hope released his solo mini album "Jack in the Box", played Lalapalooza, and had a single collaborating with J-Cole ("Hope on the Streets") before his enlistment, Jin released a solo in collaboration with Coldplay ("The Astronaut") as a gift to ARMY before his enlistment, RM has featured on several songs (Balming Tigers' "Sexy Nukim" and Colde's "Don't ever say love me"), released his solo album "Indigo" and seems to be working on another album? before he starts his military enlistment, Suga produced and featured on Psy's "That That", released his solo album "D-3" and has been touring (he will serve a different type of enlistment due to a long-term injury that prevents him from serving like the others), Jimin released his mini-album "Face" (enlistment TBD), Jungkook had a single with Charlie Puth ("Left and Right") that was released last year and something to be released in a few days from now ("7") and V's stared in a few reality shows with some of his friends/Hwarang castmates, and his album will be released sometime soon (TBD), then the rest of the guys will enlist with the hope of reuniting in 2025. So many other things (brand endorsements, government appointments, etc.) have happened too that it's way too much to remember/write down, but these are the highlights.
Facts that some still cannot accept even up to these days. Some are still in denial. Many artists are looking up to them and most of them even said BTS did paved the way but BTS being humble beings said that it's all because of every group's hardwork but still they did open the gateway for others to promote more outside SK.
💯
@@boraaalaanddd so true
Pst! Suga's album is D-Day not D-3.
There is even more music from them: Rush Hour (Crush - ft. J-Hope), Smoke Sprite (ft. RM), Take Two, Bastion OST, Vibe (Taeyang ft. Jimin), a second Version of "Over the Horizon" Remix by Suga (just what I remember)
💜
@@ruthfischer7615 You’re right! Knew that there was a lot I was missing…and D-day…the album was right in front of my face🙄 don’t know why I miss remember it all the time (and knowing I do, not double checking myself before I hit the summit button)
Bang Si Hyuk is a genius. He was able to see the talent in this boys then he is also an amazing producer. Kudos to "PDNIM" for putting together this joy to us. Kudos to Taylor aways. The tiny guys are called Tiny Tans and then they have some characters BT21
Lowkey got emotional watching this. I've been ARMY since 2018 and am so eternally greatful to these boys. They have taught me so many life lessons. They were the first k-pop group that i stanned. I am missing them so much while they are on this break and all going off for their military service. Once you're in it, you're in it for life with them. Let's continue to support our boys forever. Borahae💜
Thanks so much for your reaction Vex. I hope to see more BTS in the future ❤
You did a great job of carefully going through the video, probably the best I've seen. I'm a 72 yo artist in California who started down this rabbit hole in early 2019, watching a ton of BTS content. At my age, I get concerned about the future world my grandkids will grow up in, but BTS has given me hope with their incredible positivity and global influence. You have a great positive attitude as well!
Thank you for reacting to these seven amazing, humble kings. 💜 One of the many things I Iove about them is that they do not brag about their success or talk about how much they donated. They didn't even disclose their donations, sometimes the info just got leaked or released by the media. This video also showed the side of ARMY that people don't talk about often, the good ones. 💜
BTS has worked harder than anyone I know. Their discography is over 300 songs. Then add in the solo work they're doing now. Their collaborations are numerous (Warren G, Snoop Dogg, Nicki Minaj, Lil Nas X, Wale, J Cole, the Chainsmokers, Steve Aoki, Desiigner, Halsey, Charlie Puth, Juice WRLD, Coldplay, etc...).
After they finish their mandatory military service they will reunite as a group in 2025. 💜 Borahae.
I'd say that BTS and Stray Kids are my ult and i've never + i'd never regret stanning them at all
sameee. 10 years and still counting with them (BTS). 😍💜 Skz and SVT are also my new discovery. They're amazing and chaotic. 😂
Being STAYxARMY is too good of an experience, we are ON TOP 🔛🔝
Multistan fans are the best❤❤❤
Only bangtan
Sameee I started w/ exo, stayed for BTS, and now I’m a multi stan, and I’m loving it ❤❤
Sorry to be a comment hog, but I need to say more things now that I have watched the video. Firstly, I am so happy with your comment about Bang Si Hyuk. So few people give him the credit he deserves, and yes, he does look so nice, and so fatherly, and he has been a father to them in fact. I also love that you pause the video to read the subtitles properly. That is very cool and respectful. If they can inspire you with their messages and their example, then that is what they would want. Thank you and loved the reaction.
I love it how he paused to read the content😊 it's one of best reaction I've ever seen.. in my 45 years i never stan any idol/singers. Bts found me when I'm so down.. their music really helps a lot.. I'm so proud to be part of this fandom.. APOBANGPO,,💜💜💜
their struggle from zero they worked very hard until now they have become a worldwide KPop but they still love ARMY fans💜💜
BTS is a 7 member group who is now in their 10th year with a 350+ track discography largely written and produced by the members themselves conjoined by their inhouse producers. The leader 'RM' has 210+ credits making him the youngest most credited artist in Korea and the rest of the members are not far behind. BTS is known for being extremely profound at articulating what they introspect and composing it into the sound they with their artistic knowledge believe will deliver the emotion of their lyricsm. They began with their roots in hiphop but have experimented their way into currently having above 10+ genres in their discography with the main being hiphop, pop, r&b and electronic, but majority of the time its a fusion of these genres, or their subgenres. Like latin pop, old school hiphop with boom bap, rap rock, dance pop, ballads, emo hiphop, jazz etc. Since they articulate so well, their music is very human oriented adressing extreme mental health issues (all they way from comforting, motivating, to eery delivery with raw mvs that youtube asks for viewers discretion), sociopolitical commentary etc. Their discography shows the growth from school boys to the tribulations of youth, to addressing temptation, to reaching maturity, to loving onself, to finding the core essence of the mind (i work in the field of psychology and i have yet to find an artist that is as profound as bts in accurately potraying psychological themes) to fighting the pandemic to now doing solo albums as each of the bts members complete their mandatory military. They will come back as a group in 2025!
as an original K-ARMY I really enjoyed your reaction and your pronunciation of my language was really good
I loved spending this almost 2 hours with you. You read every caption and totally immersed yourself in this beautiful story of our BTS. People who laugh about K-Pop should give themselves an hour to just watch this. The guys have nothing but exceptional messages about life. When they say ARMY are all ages it’s true. From young people to us older folks. I’m 65 but there are 70, 80 plus adults and we adore BTS. They cross all boundaries from age, sex, genre, language, and cultures etc. take your time getting to know them so you don’t burn yourself out. After all, they’re on an 18 month break due to Korean mandatory Military duty. They’ll come back together in 2025 so you’ll have plenty of time. Getting tickets is hard. They sell out stadiums in 3-5 minutes even for a 3 day concert. Their largest arena was 90,000 people. Stadium numbers are closer to 80,000. People fly in from all over the world to watch their concerts. Well anyway welcome to BTS World. We’re happy to have you and I’ve subscribed because I don’t want to miss your journey with us! Your excitement is contagious my friend! 💜🫰
Older Army here 😊 Welcome to the BTS Army. There is a lot to see and learn about these 7 amazing men. They spread love, hope, acceptance and joy. Enjoy the journey.
You asked for our favs. I love them all, but RM is my bias. Then it's Jhope and Suga. I guess I have thing for the rap line. 😂
I love your enthusiasm and smile. It was a joy to watch your reaction. Borahae 💜💜
Hello Vex, about to watch this reaction of yours for the first time. Golden Army here, 72 years and counting. Looking forward to going on the journey with you. Love your description, so positive and heartwarming! Welcome, and here's hoping you will also be Army soon. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Suga is the ambassador for the NBA so yes he has been to basketball games.
i appreciate your true reaction and respect you gave towards them by pausing and paying attention and engaging with everything. i’ll hope to see more! love the southern accent, im from the south too so it made me feel at home 💜
Early and I'm so happy that you actually started to get into BTS 😭💜
3:47 RM has been appointed as the public relations ambassador for Ministry of National Defense and that's actually crazy. Im so broud of him🥲
10:50 for R&B you can check these songs:
Singularity (V solo song)
Hold me tight
Like
House of cards
Blood sweat & tears
24/7 = Heaven
There is more but i think this is enough😅
37:13 BTS made their own version of this song you should check it out :)
BTS have now won over 1077 awards which makes them the most awarded Artist in the whole world and now they have 7 songs on 1# billboard and one of them is Jimin solo song 'like crazy
@@bushrabushra5450 1077?! Wtf?! Not even Drake have that many awards. Holy sht!
Their performances at those 2 award shows over the years are something you should react to
Hi I've been army since 2015 and welcome to the journey of BTS💜.
I'm always looking for a new BTS reactor and I'm so glad I found you. You did everyrhing perfectly...pausing to talk, paying attention and giving insightful commentary. Keep the BTS coming and I'll be here...already got my notifications on. But I'll be honest...I'll only be watching your BTS reactions. Hope to see you soon.
Thanks for this reaction! Really appreciate how you took the time to really read the information given. They are truly amazing! Hope to see more BTS/BTS member reactions from you.
Till now I have watched every ones reactions… your reaction is on my top list!! Loved it bro!!! Forever BTS 💜
Thanks so much!!!
I enjoyed your reaction and thank you so much for taking the time to learn about BTS!. You can watch all the run BTS video's. they're a bunch of them. You will get to know the guys and laugh as they are not always in their right minds, LOL. I will let other ARMY's suggest songs for you. I love them all. Enjoy your journey. I see you are already a Jimin fan. we have a saying, Once you Jim-in, you can't Jim out. I love all 7 but Jin is my bias. Welcome , Borahae.💜
22:01 “he might be called Suga but he ain’t sweet “ 😂😂😂 love it!
You have a great energy, if you like R&B I suggest to react Singularity and Stigma by V, he is the “soul” voice of the group, for the latin vibe Jimin’s solo “Filter” and of course OT7 Airplane PT2!
RM’s solo “Indigo” has also very interesting tracks, one featuring Erykah Badu!
Edit: Subscribing!
So proud to be a BTS army 💜💜💜♾️
I’m an ArmyStay
And I’m soooo happy 🎉🎉🎉
Suga is an ambassador for the NBA actually 💜
I am a bored now 63 year old. Been Army since 2014. Honest to God I have seen and read everything. Every question you had I was shouting through my phone I wanted to teach you everything I know! They saved me after my mother died and there are many of us that feel that way. BTS connects like no one else. You literally love them and cry with them through good and bad. I had been a Kpop fan before but BTS was more than music.
I've gotta say, watching reactions to this guide warms my heart everytime.....and that's been many many times!!
thank you for your comments and reaction and welcome to Army💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
My bias Jimin👑
I love how he said that J-hope and jimin were the top two when in came to looks in his opinion because j-hope would receive backlash for not fitting beauty standards. He made up his mind purely based on seeing their personalities and smiles and I loved that. 💜
All the members are top tier in looks and it’s nice that people recognise that as well as their personalities. They don’t need to fit standards to be beautiful. Their smiles are beautiful all by themselves 💜
i love watching people fall into their story 😭‼️ its so refreshing seeing open-minded and respectful reaction vids. respect 2 u!!
Army is an acronym and stands for Adorable Representative MC for Youth.
I love ur reactions more bts plz 💜💜💜
What a great reaction!! ARMY lore says that you find BTS when you need them. I believe it's true.
I'm so excited for you to dive deeper into the Bangtanverse 💜 You're one of my favorite reactors, and BTS & SKZ are my ult groups (Suga from BTS being my ultimate bias) I'm glad you basically started with the guide because it's going to make your experience all the better. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
YAYYYY IM SO HAPPY YOUR GETTING INTO MY BOYS
As an 'Army Mom' - aka..Mother who discovered BTS since 2016. I live on a tiny Island in the Caribbean. Discovered/went down their Rabbit Hole. Although I do not have Millions to donate towards their ' Projects/World Wide'. My family run a BNB/ Guest House here and are more than willing to OPEN OUR HOME. Free towards any BTS Army...making their way on/to the tiniest Island - Montserrat.
We got you 💜
THAT is my contribution in the name of spreading BTS' message. LOVE YOURSELF AND OTHERS. Wish I could do more .....
Ps. The other day. My mother and a woman were in a "Restaurant " waiting on their food. She was missing $10 for her order. Mum made up the difference. No prob.
While the 'woman' Thanked her .Mummy simply told her "Pass it on, Love" .
NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE, ARMY. PASS IT ON. No matter how small or 'insignificant' it may seem (at the time)...............Borahea 💜💜
That is so cool! Greetings from New England!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
they just released a book a few days ago. You might want to read it... It called Beyond The Story. Thank you for your great reaction!! We enjoy it so much. Thank you for spending your precious time to learn about them. 💜
Thank u for reacting to our 7 kings and also keep doing u and ur a very wholesome person and stay safe. Borahae 💜
Really love your energy. Welcome to ARMY. I enlisted last year at 75. Never too late. Enjoy the journey. Feel the love these talented and humble young men bring the world
JHope and jimin both Look great 🤌🤌 you have Good eye for beauty 💜
Ok, all together now, THANK YOU SLEEPY! I can't imagine this group any other way. They stuck together ❤️ 💜🎂🥳😄
I love your energy! Can't wait to watch you discovering them. I can say that you'll love it, based on your personality, you have a great vibe😊
Love your reaction. Thank you! 💜
Great Reaction! Keep them coming
Just subbed, I loved your reaction. You really took the time to read the subtitles and remember even the tiniest details. As an ARMY, I appreciate that. I hope you react to their Run BTS (variety show) episodes too.
All I have to say is I'm proud of my boys for 10 whole years, and I am proud to be an ARMY💜💜
Borahae BTS
Love your reaction and love that you are interested in BTS. They are really loving, humble and amazing men. I hope you have fun learning more about them and listen more to their music! Borahae! 💜
Excited to see your BTS journey! Enjoy and feel the armys love. 💜
55:27 They've been to Fallon several times. Also solo: Jimin and SUGA this past month-ish.
Great reaction! Appreciate you taking your time to really watch. I have no doubt you’ll love so much from them and about them 💜💜
all i gotta say is THIS is the MOST amazing reaction to any reaction to the boys ive ever seen AND THE PRRONUNCEATION IS ON POINTTTT
this reaction is probably the first one in a long time, that i've seen, where someone actually seems interested and is taking their time to take it all in. i love that you pause to read and then taking your time to think and reflect on it and also giving your own input etc. i thoroughly enjoyed this, thank you very much and i wish you all the best!
I watched those videos so many times but they still get me every time. Our boys are such good hard working talented deserving people and that’s why we’ll be here for them forever.
They move us, and we support each other. 💜
You’re most likely my most favourite reactor now, like I usually skip things that some reactors say cause it gets boring but ur like entertaining to listen to and watch, thanks for the attention to detail you had in this video 🙏🙏
now bts has more than 1700 awards
i love that you pauses before reading every stories and commenting.... keep up the good reaction boy😊❤
“they got lore?” THE BEST LIKE, I CANT EVEN BEGIN TO TELL U
Fun fact : there’s soon going to be movie release based off bts’ fictional storyline of their albums with the very professional and famous actors playing their roles .
BTS is beyond imagination... BTS is truly a Legend💜❤
I'm glad you too the time out to understand them BORAHAE and I hope you enjoy this journey with us and BTS
01:00:00 that’s because V created that meaning for the color, that’s ARMY BTS lingo, not the outside world meaning
Your memory for recalling details is amazing
🫶💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🫰 love that you paused to read and paid great attention. Loved your reaction.
You took time to read and understand the video 💜 of all the reactions I've seen, your pronunciation of the Korean names is the most on point too! I enjoyed this reaction a lot! Thank you!
Ur reaction is so good I really loved it 😍 thank you so much for reaction to bts 💜💜💜i purple u
Bts a respectful and they are hard workers love them, they sometimes even work there self till they faint after concert's 😢💜
BTS=Bulletproof boy Scouts / Beyond the scenes
Army=Adorable representative mc for youth 💜💜
Suga/Yoongi (it feels weird to call him Suga) name was Gloss as a underground rapper and as an fun fact: Yoongi means gloss in english
Enjoyed your reaction to The Guide...love your energy..just subscribed for more BTS
BTS content is a rabbit hole and never ending. I'm in my 9th year of being an army and there's still so much for me to see.
I like this, the way you react to BTS is so entertaining. And you are one of the genuine reactors I've watch. 💜💜💜
49:35 He's releasing SEVEN next week, on the 14th! Song of the summer, some say ;)
I enjoyed your reaction and especially appreciated that you took the time to pause and read all the info...so many reactors miss half the info by just letting it play. Thanks for taking the time. I will subscribe to your channel for more BTS content. Borahae!
I really liked your reaction
Thank you 💜
I’ll be waiting for more BTS content 🥰
Thankyou for respecting the amazing 7 boys ❤
So happy I chose this reaction video to watch the Guide to BTS, you seem so genuine and just attentive. Love
Sadly, I’m just now seeing this reaction! I enjoyed it very much! Thank you for taking the time to read every part of the video! So many people don’t do that! (There was one point that you “appeared” to miss, maybe you didn’t, that not only have they all graduated from college, but they are all pursuing their masters).
I have not read through all the comments, but I am sure everyone has mentioned that the guy in the end with Jimin was RM. You just didn’t recognize him in that clip. JK was actually around 14 when he joined because the Korean age and the international age is slightly different. So when he says 15, he was actually closer to 14. At any rate, he was very very young.
I hope you get thoroughly immersed, and enjoy your journey with BTS and Army! Their discography is well over 300, especially when you add the solo projects. There will no doubt be songs that you are not as fond of, but that is just fine. Not everyone likes every song!
They have over 30 Guinness world records, five Grammy nominations, and closer to 1000 awards at this point. Even with three of the members in the military, they are still collectively and individually earning awards.
The color purple story was actually made up on the spot by V. The color purple doesn’t actually have that meaning, but for V it did, and now it does for Army. What prompted him to tell that story was that all the light sticks in the audience were covered with a purple film. If I remember correctly, to signify unity, beauty, a field of flowers. I’m sure someone on here was there, and could verify the story better.
Thank you for your time and admiration for our guys! Looking forward to more of your reactions!
(Oh, and they have been on many many American talk shows!! Many times! Fallon, James Corden, Stephen Colbert, Ellen.)

The first place of the HIt It Second Audition also became a music producer at Big Hit.
48:30
Jungkook was actually 13 when he moved into the dorm with his brothers. They are going by Korean age counting in this video, which they used in S Korea until this year. They have now switched to global age counting. By Korean age counting you are considered 1 year old at birth and another year old at the new year. So you could be born at the end of December and be a few days old and be counted as two years old. Jungkook was born in September of 1997 and he moved into the dorm in June of 2011 before his 14th birthday by global age counting. He was still in middle school and so he transferred from a middle school in his hometown to a middle school near their apartment in Seoul. When they debuted in 2013 he was 15 years old. Yes, that is unusually young in the Idol industry, which makes it all the more remarkable that he became their lead vocalist.
Their ages at debut, by global age counting, were:
Jin - 20
Suga - 20
j-hope - 19
RM - 18
Jimin - 17
V - 17
Jungkook - 15

They have actually been on The Tonight Show a lot, both as a group, and as soloists, and doing live streamed performances during the pandemic. Jimmy is actually a huge fan of BTS and a Jimin bias. I would say he is hands down their favorite US show host. Jimmy and Jimin did a whole comedy bit about what a superfan of Jimin he is. He did a whole week of live performances of BTS streamed from S Korea during the pandemic. He also took them on the subway in NY before where they played games, and they made sandwiches together at a famous NY deli. They also performed their song ON, live in the Grand Central Station for The Tonight Show. Jimmy was so impressed and excited that they shut down the station for them to perform and he got to be a part of it. It was a super historic and iconic moment.

Many people are confused by this - Why they hid V til their debut:
Big Hit was broke. They were mortgaged to their eyeballs trying to train their first group. They were suffering industry lockout as a small company in a very hierarchically controlled music industry where the big companies have all the connections and resources and relationships with tv networks and journalists and concert halls, etc. BTS was a very different kind of group, based on talent more than looks in the idol industry that was all built around looks over substance. Most of them (the rap line and Jimin) did not fit conventional and strict male idol beauty standards. They were denigrated as "the ugly idol group." Jin was cast specifically because they needed a "pretty face" in the mix and they just purely lucked out that he turned out to be such a phenomenal powerhouse singer. Jungkook was cute, but also only 15. V was a couple years older and more appropriate for them to cast in a "sexy" role in the group. He was also very muti talented, as you heard him talk about with his audition. Big Hit was trying to advertise and build buzz in any way that they could. One thing they did was have the guys blog and vlog and put up behind the scenes videos etc, using free social media before they even debuted. It was not something other idol groups did. Usually they maintained a mystery and mystique around their performers. Another thing they did was keep V hidden so that this very attractive and talented member could be a surprise at their debut and help them build buzz. It did work as intended but it was somewhat hard on V. Other members got to make videos and connect with the first fans and were starting to get fan mail, while he had to hide.

As a j-hope bias you will not get an argument from me that he is beautiful. Jimin too. They are all gorgeous in different ways. The idol industry just has this weird, anime-like unreal standard for looks.

The little BTS characters are called Tiny Tans. You can find video shorts online of them. Tiny Tans is a play on Bangtan from their name Bangtan Sonyeondan / Bulletproof Boyscouts. Another nickname for BTS among ARMY is the Tannies. They also have another line of animated characters used in merch and emojis and things called BT21 (Bangtan 21st century) and those characters are mostly animals, as well as a cookie and an alien. Each member designed their own character art, concept and story, in partnership with the Line company. The characters are Koya (RM), RJ (Jin), Shooky (Suga), Mang (j-hope), Chimmy (Jimin), Tata (V), Cooky (Jungkook), and Van, their guardian robot who represents ARMY.

Funny you react to 43 million followers. Jungkook decided to randomly delete his Instagram account one day because he said he didn't really use it or like it much. He had more than 50 million followers. Lol That size account represents a huge amount of money. He didn't care. They are not in this for money. Zuckerburg even reached out to him personally to see if there was anything they could do to improve his experience. But JK would rather go on Weverse (the platform Big Hit created for them) and livestream while he gets drunk with ARMY and sings karaoke for us. LOL

In case you're wondering, the little heart signs say Jin in them. It was a surprise for Jin's birthday and that was Jin reacting excitedly.

That's 90,000 British fans singing to BTS in Korean, a song that was already dear to their hearts. That was a project organized by ARMY and we were able to get the concert staff to help with a countdown and playing the backing track. BTS were shocked and deeply touched. All of them were crying, but particularly Jungkook, Jimin and j-hope.
Here is a video of that (incidentally it says 60,000 fans in the video but that is incorrect. They sold out Wembley Stadium, one of only a handful of artists in history to do that, and it has a capacity of 90,000.)
