Can't believe you upload next episode this early 😄 i love this series, thankyou for reaction to BTS guys, we ARMY in the middle of battle with our heart because we are missing them so much rn... so any content of BTS, i mean ANYTHING we're gonna love it to watch again with you guys. Thankyou sm 💜💜💜
I have been following their content on here and patreon for years now. I can vouch for their dedication to it. They are thorough, organized and desciplined when it comes to putting out content.
If I remember correctly, RM's parents were not behind his dream of becoming a rapper at first.. his mother wanted him to be a business man/civil servant.. he once told us in an interview how he managed to get her support: "I was probably 5000th in the country in terms of grades. So I asked my mother if she would rather have a son who is first in what he likes or a son who is 5000th in what she likes. After that chat, my mother agreed to let me pursue my aspirations."
I love how you guys actually pay attention to what you're watching and have something to say about it to show that you were actively listening. It's refreshing to see. It's great to get more TRoB uploads so so soon. There are little cards that show the information of each song. It's easy to miss considering all of the stuff that is going on at once with the content and subtitles and everything. You might have to pause to read to catch all of it. But it will tell you the name of the song and whether it's one of BTS's original songs or if it's a cover (and who originally sang it). So you'd see that Beautiful was a cover from a Mariah Carey song, not one of theirs. The song from last episode with the you're my lollipop candy lyrics was also another cover. The song at the very end of this episode though is one of the songs from their album and it was a hidden track that you had to buy the physical album to get.
Thank you for reacting to this. Just wondering are you gonna be continuing using that banner for this reaction series? Is there any particular reason you're going with a pic with only 6 of the members instead of all 7?

When ever i see comments like this, it makes me think about my own Journey with them. Back then, when i accidently found them in 2015, they barely had any subtitles in their content, especially the logs or behind the scenes. Even when the HYYH BU content was released, there were no subtitles on it, and we would have to go in 🧐 and visibly look for any clues, then there would later be fan uploaded content with subtitles, but sometimes that took weeks. What really made me want to get to know them, was their performance in the first place, but after that, i kept watching all the behind the scenes content, even though i didnt understand a single word, and just seein how much fun they had.. that was it for me. Then later on when they started to get somewhat popular, maybe 2016, we started getting subtitles to some of the bangtan bombs ect. Then i just went back and watched all over again, everything i had already seen multiple times. I actually followed BlockB before i found BTS, and the "battle stage" they did together, was the first time i saw them. Thats where it started.😂

I really can't recommend any song cz I like all of their songs.

As you have seen they explained about the Kpop groups attending music shows and competing after debut and bts didn’t win till 2015 that is two years whereas a lot of the big groups that debuted got the win within the year which is a cool thing but it just shows you the vigor of bts they kept going even tho they didn’t benefit immediately
What you noted is so impt….BTS/BH/Army not quitting despite all the harassment/bullying/shaming done to them and their small group of fans…..add to that their failure to secure a win in those weekly competitions or be featured often in variety shows beyond the ave grps, losing money and resources….omg, I’d have quit or moved on to my backup plan. This created the most solid, loyal, trusting, intelligent, creative, generous & organized fandom with steel spines that can face tremendous challenge and adversity…that can go head to head with the giants of the corrupt abusive global music industry
To give u a clearer picture of just how cut-throat & competitive the kpop industry is, here’s data per K-ent sources like Soompi et al:- In 2013, a total of 36 boy groups (bg) and 31 girl groups (gg) made their official debut. This included BTS. By comparison, there were actually even more in 2012 (38 bg + 41 gg) and 2014 (47 bg + 56 gg). On the average, about 100 kpop groups debut every year but sadly only < 5% will actually survive. Out of the entire 2013 kpop debut class, to date only BTS has survived to remain active (*other than now on temporary hiatus to complete their mandatory military service).
And there are many groups that NEVER make it onto TV at all. There are ca. 50 groups waiting in a third room that are NOT booked at those weekly Kpop shows: They hope that a booked performer cancels, someone steps in, points at them and tells them that they can perform a abridged version of their current promoted song, that it will be shown live and than uploaded - because that is NOT a given. Sometimes they are booked but get kicked because someone higher in hirachy wants a stage.
BTS doing their vlogs was a first for an idol group. No idol group before BTS did personal vlogs. It was also BTS' way to reach out to fans or the general public to get noticed because they come from a small company that did not have the influence nor networks of bigger companies. By the way, I don't know if you noticed but V is missing from your background photo? There are only 6 in the photo.
Love the discussion you guys had during and after watching. I appreciate the special attention you paid by taking notes of thoughts you want to discuss. Can't wait to see more of the episode reactions~
32:01 btw back then kpop idols didnt use youtube as a platform to draw in fans like bts was doing, idols were only getting popular by being invited on tv variety shows so it was idols main source of popularity and showing personality..but those variety show hosts on many shows humiliated bts and treated them unfairly which is why bts instead created their own variety show and continued on TH-cam, bts changed kpop now every group is pretty much doing the same!
The stars definitely aligned when BTS was created because they have pretty much every ingredient required for success - raw talent, personalities that shine on and off stage, great music, great chemistry between the members, staff that truly support and stick by BTS through thick and thin, an inspiring underdog story with a lot of hardships which they overcame and finally luck. No wonder they have such a strong and loyal fanbase. Personally something that I love about BTS and I think sets BTS apart from a lot of celebrities is their personalities. There have been news articles where people who worked with BTS like production directors, makeup artists, photographers etc were interviewed and they had nothing but glowing things to say about them. Even celebrities have talked about how polite and well-mannered BTS are. You can see it in the way they interact with people. They are like the Keanu Reeves of South Korea lol.
I'm really happy that you are starting to understand this group by reacting to each chapter, I hope you watch it until the last chapter, every chapter makes me cry, and chapter 18 moving on makes me really sick and cry 😭, I've been following you since you reacted about BTS, I love you guys
I'm writing this again just in case you guys didn't read it last time under chapter 1 reaction 😊 Please do deleted & extra scenes of each chapter if possible...would love that.. thank you btw for your reaction to the boys and their music.. taking this journey (ps : just a friendly suggestion, can you guys pause the video when you talk/discuss..cuz as the vid goes on, you guys miss some parts of the vid☺️) Now about these first two chapters of rise of bangtan: This is a great series! Aneesa (the creator of The Rise of Bangtan) shared that she has been working on this series (her labor of love) for over 3 years! She is taking viewer on a journey step-by-step from BTS' perspective not looking back on their days but living through them (with them). She edits their content to allow BTS to speak their thoughts, through their experiences at the time because BTS has been documenting themselves since BEFORE their debut, so there is A LOT of material to edit down to tell their story! She also gives an overview of the KPop history for those who are not familiar with the industry. She uses clips from different video clips of other idols/ journalists interviews to try to give a broader perspective of the industry. Her skill as a professional video editor really shines through. Amazing work! I think many ARMY really like this series (besides it being extremely well made), she doesn't try to interpret what "she thinks" BTS is trying to say, she just shows the viewers exactly what they said and shared about what their thoughts were at the time. She is an "OG" KPop fan and BTS fan since pre-debut! She also shared that BTS has been the light in her darkness for many years now. *(Cr: "FY" on yt)* I think it's important to notice the differences between BTS' worries and the other trainees worries. BTS' were worried about their own personal skills (not dancing well enough, song worries, etc), about not getting attention when they debut due to their small company, not having money, etc. While the other trainees seem to be living in fear of being cut from the company at any moment if they make one mistake, worrying about weight quotas, etc. BTS stayed until late hours because they WANTED to, while the other trainees HAD to. Obviously BTS had things they had to do too, they could've not made it to debut as Jimin almost did due to short training, but instead of using that as a fear to hold over them Bighit seemed to use it to encourage them to work harder and improve themselves. BTS were allowed to make mistakes without worrying they'd be thrown out of the company. I'm very glad that they all signed with Bighit, and that Bighit has caused a shift in the Kpop industry, lots of newer companies are giving their groups more freedom and treating them better due to BTS' success. These companies see that idols don't need to be punished and forced to do things in order to succeed, BTS are proof that freedom and happiness should be the most important thing. *(Cr: "Shannon" on yt)* Now plz understand this 1st & 2nd episode shows two sides, one is typical k-pop system and how the labels/industry work, whereas subtle hints of BTS and bighit being contradictory different is shown, BTS is different from other K-pop groups and BigHit is different from other idol music companies. These first few episodes can be misleading because it makes you think BTS management follows these guidelines the other idol members from other companies are talking about, but BTS and BigHit don't do those things. Notice how when it is said idols don't have a lot of creative freedom, you see Namjoon and Yoongi writing lyrics, or when it says idols have phone bans or something, you see the BTS members on their phones, or how when idols say they aren't allowed to go outside the dorm, you see Yoongi walking around freely. It can be a confusing thing for new ARMY to make note of, but PLEASE notice these differences. It is vital to how BigHit runs differently, and therefore why BTS is so different from other idol groups from the very start. *(Cr: "Kayla Kulik" on yt)*
First song was "No more dream" then "We are Bulletproof pt2" and "Beautiful" is pre debute cover... You can check what songs were in episode in descrition of episode, there is all used music ;)
A BTS story always moves me, many people have no idea of all the struggle, hours and hours of training, sweat and tears, literally, everything they have and are today, they conquered, nothing was given away, I think that's beautiful Furthermore, in addition to everything they are, they have always valued their studies, each one of them ran and runs after it, in their own way, it is beautiful to see where they have come, seeing this person full of fear, uncertainty and insecurity in themselves. .they have the power to change lives, both through their lyrics, music and their life stories, that's why I love them so much and I'm so proud of the model of life they are and the messages they transmit around the world... .thanks for your reaction
Thank you for being consistent with this documentary... I see people uploading it once in a week... I actually think its better to watch one after another... I mean not all together... but within 24 hours... thank you so much for it💜
Wasn't expecting this too early though no complaints hehe i love it . I mean there s so many songs tht can be recommended depending on wt u want to react to though together with titletrack do check their bsides bcz they are gems for real
Thank you for reacting to part 2 so fast, I didn't expect it! I agree that listening to songs in chronological order makes the most sense, but I wish you guys don't only react to title songs because there are amazing side tracks/b-tracks in each album that would be interesting to react to! From the first album, I will obviously recommend the title tracks "No More Dream", "We Are Bulletproof Pt. 2" and the hidden track "Path/Road". I personally like "Path" the most from that album so I really wish you react to it! Thank you again, have fun exploring! 🤭
True I love the bsides.... One of the reasons bts become this big is the high quality bsides... they never put less effort on them than the title tracks... they are more involved in the production, they feel besides... Path and like is so good...
@@kamalhossan5694 I think their b-sides shine the most honestly, and if it weren't for them I wouldn't be an ARMY. They showcase so many different genres with them and focus on deeper and more personal lyrics.
Hi dears. 68yo Army here. Since we Army are in mourning now...what with them being in the military...it would be nice if you react to some funny BTS videos. I recommend " BTS Mini field day part 2". It's comedy at it's finest.
My recommendations from their first mini-album (2cool4skool)😊: - No More Dream (title track) - Like (my favorite b-side track of this album) - We Are Bulletproof Pt.2 (yes there is a part 1 but it is a pre-debut song if I remember correctly. There is also another one called "We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal" which is a fan-song from their Map Of The Soul:7 album from 2020)
Thanks for understanding the video and not just watching it just for the sake of content or views 😊 💜 hope you'll watch their MVs and performances, even their other contents are worth watching for 😉
Thank you for your reactions, you are good at what you're doing, attentive to the details and important nuances and strengths of Baby BTS. Right from the very beginning they were already so talented, hardworking and awesome! Please look into their songs from the very beginning and go through their Albums. The Title Tracks and Bsides are absolutely the best! Looking forward to more of your reactions.
dude on the left, you did sell yourself short there. saw your reactions and comments on your other videos (some k-drama ones) and you really are funny, I especially like your laugh, makes me laugh too and I really appreciate that. I think you'll enjoy bangtan's humour as well in future episodes of rise of bangtan
This was fast! Thank you!🙏 i think one of the biggest factors why people gravitate towards BTS really is the fact that all of the content is something that anyone of us could make. Meaning the experiences they have and things they talk about in their music, its so relatable that most people will find at least something, that they identify with, its something that "hapoened to me too", or "i think like that too". Theyre Just like any one of us. And that has continued to this day, they never changed and that makes us even more connected to them.
thank for your reaction guys...Don't forget The Rise Of Bangtan Bonus and Deleted scane....I think you can combine them into one in each chapter ...Borahae 💜
Airplane pt2, Paradise, Home, Your Eyes Tell, Film Out, Spring Day, Butterfly, Make it right, Blue&Grey, Magic shop, Answer:love myself, Louder than Bombs, The Truth Untold...these are some of my ot7 recommendation 🫶
Missing BTS a lot..they're doing great now in their Military Service..woth your channel,i got to look back on their journey..thank you so much for this honest reaction...please do also watch all their episodes in BANGTAN TV (BTS's youtube channel)..you'll gonna know their different personalities and all..borahae
I’m so glad I found you two again!! I used to watch your Hunter X Hunter reactions and now you’re doing BTS?? I have no choice but to subscribe. Lol I love that you’re doing this series, I recommend listening to the title tracks from each album as you see the songs presented in the docu. For this album it would be “No More Dream” & “We are Bulletproof Pt.2” but I also recommend listening to the song “Like” off this album. Although like is a B-side, it has the most streams out of any song on their debut album because it went viral on tiktok in 2021! Excited to see your journey with BTS, there’s a good reason why they are the biggest group on the planet & my favorite artists of all time. My parents are both in the music industry so I have had the privilege of meeting so many amazing artists & bands but I have never “stanned” an artist until BTS, they are very special.
I really hope that you guys react to the songs in whatever way or whatever order you guys want to tackle them. In order of title tracks, full albums, including soundclouds uploads, or whatever. I really enjoy both of your reactions to the series. For a lot of armys, the lyrics are super important, myself included. Whatever obstacles they always find a way and that has been the way BTS & Armys deal with everything. We always find away! Looking foward to your next reactions.
Really enjoyed listening to your thoughts through the video as well as your final discussion. Looking forward to your exploration of the songs. While I'm sure you'll be checking out the title tracks (esp because they have music videos), don't forget about the b-sides/skits. BTS has some of the most memorable non-title songs.
Thank you for this chapter so quickly. I love this series and love watching you react 💜 The debut stage songs and singles from 2 Cool 4 Skool were No More Dream and Bulletproof Part 2. If you react to these 2 MVs use the channel 1theK because they are the official MVs with English subs 😊 Don't forget bonus scenes and deleted content from the chapters 😊 You become ARMY, well Baby ARMY to start with. It is a feeling you get for yourself when you become aggravated by hurtful comments to them, protective of them, want to promote their good messages, things like that. ARMY is an acronym for Adorable Representative MC for Youth.
There are crazy good dancers in kpop like you haven’t seen anything yet. They do crazy acrobatic stuff and dance so perfectly you’d be surprised. Kpop has really good dancers
Loved this! I just got done watching you guys' first Rise of bangtan ep and then this one popped up in my rec. Thanks for pumping these out so quick while still actually paying attention. It shows that you really care. Definitely subscribing 💜💜💜
30:17 ahh thats exactly it🥹 i never heard anyone put it in that perspective ngl but it's so true. its still true too. the members are super duper pessimistic and self critical in general tbh, so they still have this mindset of "I" shouldnt be the one who's holding bangtan back or that "I" need to be better and catch up with the rests caliber or "I" should work extra hard to compensate what i lack so all members appear at the same level etc etc theyve always given their 200%, even at their own expense, to make sure that they arent the reason they fail. Theyve always had this mindset and i feel is kinda the reason ARMYs always went so hard to promote them to non fans to get their music their deserved exposure back then. the sentiment during comebacks always used be smth akin to 'their music is too good and worked too hard upon to get skimmed past on' just had to be super zealous in votings for mysic shows and annoyingly reccing them everywhere 😂😂
Wow wow another good channel... Can't wait to watch the next chapter... Thank you guys for giving our boys a chance 💜 always love to see reactors who have a good conversations
I really enjoyed your reaction -- I've watched so many reactors watch this series, and you guys are one of the very few who really paid attention and recognized their goals and purpose of being artists. Many reactors are not as focused (if I'm putting it politely), and it's so refreshing to see that after only the Taylor guide and 2 TROB chapters, you both already get why they are the biggest in the industry. For their debut album "2 Cool 4 Skool" they promoted and filmed music videos for 2 tracks - "No More Dream" (title) and "We are Bulletproof Pt. 2". The album also included an Intro (which they will sample in a later album), Skit (a recording of them discussing their dreams) , Interlude (an instrumental), and Outro (a recording of each of them showing their rap skills...lol). This album also contained two hidden tracks on the physical album - another skit and "Path". I believe (correct me if I'm wrong), Namjoon has said in the past that when they put hidden tracks in album, they're special messages between the band and ARMY. 1 Intro : 2 COOL 4 SKOOL feat. DJ Friz 2 We are bulletproof PT.2 - music video and dance practice available on TH-cam 3 Skit : Circle room talk 4 No More Dream - music video, choreography video, and dance practice available on TH-cam 5 Interlude 6 Like - Showcase sketch video available on TH-cam 7 Outro : Circle room cypher 8 Skit: On the Start Line (Hidden Track) 9 길 (Path) (Hidden Track) Towards the end of this chapter of TROB, they showed them filming the video for "N.O", the title track of their 2nd mini album "ORUL8,2?" Also, if you do a deep dive into their lyrics, PLEASE use doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com rather than lyric videos. She's an army and has translated their entire discography. She also adds context and meanings to the cultural references they use so that their words are not misconstrued. The people who make lyric videos just want the views ($), and 99.9% of the time they are wrong because they don't identify the members correctly, and they use the literal translations from google translate so it doesn't make sense.
I just watched the ep 5and 6 of their docu beyond the story airing on disney now yesterday and watching this today with you they really came a long way 🥺
Hi not necessarily 2 songs per episode! In this one you got No More Dream, Beautiful, Bulletproof pt2, and a sneak of N.O 💜 The bit where Bang PD talks about suspending all activities other than rehearsals when they're preparing for a comeback is a big deal. The company was really struggling and all the members did outside work like backup dancing or as extras in other groups' videos or commercials, skipping that revenue for any amount of time was impactful. By the way phonetically it's Shuga not Suga, as in the first syllables of shooting guard, that's how he chose the name, it was his position in high school basketball. 😊🙏💜🇨🇦
you guys should watch their Disney+ docuseries BTS Monuments: Beyond the Star. It tells their personal story from theirselves so it really opens your eyes and you can get info from their perspectives. We also got some clips army have never seen before.
Can't believe you upload next episode this early 😄 i love this series, thankyou for reaction to BTS guys, we ARMY in the middle of battle with our heart because we are missing them so much rn... so any content of BTS, i mean ANYTHING we're gonna love it to watch again with you guys. Thankyou sm 💜💜💜

There have been news articles where people who worked with BTS like production directors, makeup artists, photographers etc were interviewed and they had nothing but glowing things to say about them. Even celebrities have talked about how polite and well-mannered BTS are. You can see it in the way they interact with people. They are like the Keanu Reeves of South Korea lol.
I'm really happy that you are starting to understand this group by reacting to each chapter, I hope you watch it until the last chapter, every chapter makes me cry, and chapter 18 moving on makes me really sick and cry 😭, I've been following you since you reacted about BTS, I love you guys
Thank u for reacting to BTS, Plz react to their songs & funny videos too. After u got to know them plz react to their b sides & live performances too
I'm writing this again just in case you guys didn't read it last time under chapter 1 reaction 😊 Please do deleted & extra scenes of each chapter if possible...would love that.. thank you btw for your reaction to the boys and their music.. taking this journey (ps : just a friendly suggestion, can you guys pause the video when you talk/discuss..cuz as the vid goes on, you guys miss some parts of the vid☺️)
Now about these first two chapters of rise of bangtan:
This is a great series! Aneesa (the creator of The Rise of Bangtan) shared that she has been working on this series (her labor of love) for over 3 years! She is taking viewer on a journey step-by-step from BTS' perspective not looking back on their days but living through them (with them). She edits their content to allow BTS to speak their thoughts, through their experiences at the time because BTS has been documenting themselves since BEFORE their debut, so there is A LOT of material to edit down to tell their story! She also gives an overview of the KPop history for those who are not familiar with the industry. She uses clips from different video clips of other idols/ journalists interviews to try to give a broader perspective of the industry. Her skill as a professional video editor really shines through. Amazing work! I think many ARMY really like this series (besides it being extremely well made), she doesn't try to interpret what "she thinks" BTS is trying to say, she just shows the viewers exactly what they said and shared about what their thoughts were at the time. She is an "OG" KPop fan and BTS fan since pre-debut! She also shared that BTS has been the light in her darkness for many years now. *(Cr: "FY" on yt)*
I think it's important to notice the differences between BTS' worries and the other trainees worries. BTS' were worried about their own personal skills (not dancing well enough, song worries, etc), about not getting attention when they debut due to their small company, not having money, etc. While the other trainees seem to be living in fear of being cut from the company at any moment if they make one mistake, worrying about weight quotas, etc. BTS stayed until late hours because they WANTED to, while the other trainees HAD to. Obviously BTS had things they had to do too, they could've not made it to debut as Jimin almost did due to short training, but instead of using that as a fear to hold over them Bighit seemed to use it to encourage them to work harder and improve themselves. BTS were allowed to make mistakes without worrying they'd be thrown out of the company.
I'm very glad that they all signed with Bighit, and that Bighit has caused a shift in the Kpop industry, lots of newer companies are giving their groups more freedom and treating them better due to BTS' success. These companies see that idols don't need to be punished and forced to do things in order to succeed, BTS are proof that freedom and happiness should be the most important thing. *(Cr: "Shannon" on yt)*
Now plz understand this 1st & 2nd episode shows two sides, one is typical k-pop system and how the labels/industry work, whereas subtle hints of BTS and bighit being contradictory different is shown, BTS is different from other K-pop groups and BigHit is different from other idol music companies. These first few episodes can be misleading because it makes you think BTS management follows these guidelines the other idol members from other companies are talking about, but BTS and BigHit don't do those things. Notice how when it is said idols don't have a lot of creative freedom, you see Namjoon and Yoongi writing lyrics, or when it says idols have phone bans or something, you see the BTS members on their phones, or how when idols say they aren't allowed to go outside the dorm, you see Yoongi walking around freely. It can be a confusing thing for new ARMY to make note of, but PLEASE notice these differences. It is vital to how BigHit runs differently, and therefore why BTS is so different from other idol groups from the very start. *(Cr: "Kayla Kulik" on yt)*
Wow you are fast, I was going to bed and here it was, so I was like "ahh what another 40 minutes" xD
First song was "No more dream" then "We are Bulletproof pt2" and "Beautiful" is pre debute cover...
You can check what songs were in episode in descrition of episode, there is all used music ;)
Wow I didn't expect the second episode so soon! Thank you so much!^^
chapter 2 already?! 🤩🫶🏼
Btw, "Beautiful" is not BTS' song. It's adaptation from Mariah Carey song with the same name,"Beautiful"
Thank you for appreciating their hardwork..they really deserve everything they achieve right now..
A BTS story always moves me, many people have no idea of all the struggle, hours and hours of training, sweat and tears, literally, everything they have and are today, they conquered, nothing was given away, I think that's beautiful Furthermore, in addition to everything they are, they have always valued their studies, each one of them ran and runs after it, in their own way, it is beautiful to see where they have come, seeing this person full of fear, uncertainty and insecurity in themselves. .they have the power to change lives, both through their lyrics, music and their life stories, that's why I love them so much and I'm so proud of the model of life they are and the messages they transmit around the world... .thanks for your reaction
Thank you for being consistent with this documentary...
I see people uploading it once in a week... I actually think its better to watch one after another... I mean not all together... but within 24 hours... thank you so much for it💜
Wasn't expecting this too early though no complaints hehe i love it . I mean there
s so many songs tht can be recommended depending on wt u want to react to though together with titletrack do check their bsides bcz they are gems for real
Guys your reactions are so good☺️ you are very attentive, which is appreciated. Thank you for this series💛
omg thankyou guys for early update!!!lots of love
Episode 2 yess I always cry lmao but episode 3 is so good so will be waiting for that one 😊
They built their ARMY, they atracted people with their own talent, hard work and personallities
Thank you for reacting to part 2 so fast, I didn't expect it! I agree that listening to songs in chronological order makes the most sense, but I wish you guys don't only react to title songs because there are amazing side tracks/b-tracks in each album that would be interesting to react to!
From the first album, I will obviously recommend the title tracks "No More Dream", "We Are Bulletproof Pt. 2" and the hidden track "Path/Road".
I personally like "Path" the most from that album so I really wish you react to it!
Thank you again, have fun exploring! 🤭
True I love the bsides....
One of the reasons bts become this big is the high quality bsides... they never put less effort on them than the title tracks... they are more involved in the production, they feel besides...
Path and like is so good...
Agreed. Path is my favorite 2C4S side track because of the early personal writing, but Like is indicative of their R&B-ish crowd-pleasers.
@@kamalhossan5694 I think their b-sides shine the most honestly, and if it weren't for them I wouldn't be an ARMY. They showcase so many different genres with them and focus on deeper and more personal lyrics.
Great reaction. Looking forward to more BTS reactions 💜
Hi dears. 68yo Army here. Since we Army are in mourning now...what with them being in the military...it would be nice if you react to some funny BTS videos. I recommend " BTS Mini field day part 2". It's comedy at it's finest.
My recommendations from their first mini-album (2cool4skool)😊:
- No More Dream (title track)
- Like (my favorite b-side track of this album)
- We Are Bulletproof Pt.2 (yes there is a part 1 but it is a pre-debut song if I remember correctly. There is also another one called "We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal" which is a fan-song from their Map Of The Soul:7 album from 2020)
Thanks for the reaction!!!❤
Yesss keep them going haha
Im early haha, thanks for the reaction
yey daily trob ep lets go!
Thanks for understanding the video and not just watching it just for the sake of content or views 😊 💜 hope you'll watch their MVs and performances, even their other contents are worth watching for 😉
Oh wow! Ep 2 is already up. 🎉 Nice. Lol. FYI, theres also Deleted Scenes & Bonus Scenes for each chapter as well, if you havent noticed. 😂
Yeah, their stylist did them dirty during debut but oh well. Their songs and personalities were so good so it didnt matter
Thank you for your reactions, you are good at what you're doing, attentive to the details and important nuances and strengths of Baby BTS. Right from the very beginning they were already so talented, hardworking and awesome! Please look into their songs from the very beginning and go through their Albums. The Title Tracks and Bsides are absolutely the best! Looking forward to more of your reactions.
YOOO I like how you guys upload BTS content regularly🔥Thank u!!💜
dude on the left, you did sell yourself short there. saw your reactions and comments on your other videos (some k-drama ones) and you really are funny, I especially like your laugh, makes me laugh too and I really appreciate that. I think you'll enjoy bangtan's humour as well in future episodes of rise of bangtan
thank you :]
thank u so much 💜
Love Baby BTS 💜🔮💜🔮💜🔮💜🔮💜🔮💜🔮💜
This was fast! Thank you!🙏 i think one of the biggest factors why people gravitate towards BTS really is the fact that all of the content is something that anyone of us could make. Meaning the experiences they have and things they talk about in their music, its so relatable that most people will find at least something, that they identify with, its something that "hapoened to me too", or "i think like that too". Theyre Just like any one of us. And that has continued to this day, they never changed and that makes us even more connected to them.
They always to give their 200 %... Worked hard and appreciate everyone's hardwork behind the cameras too...
Can't wait for chapter 3 !!!
No More Dream is the first single and We are bulletproof pt.2 is the second one from the first album.
thank for your reaction guys...Don't forget The Rise Of Bangtan Bonus and Deleted scane....I think you can combine them into one in each chapter ...Borahae 💜
Love the reaction. This series is so good!
Airplane pt2, Paradise, Home, Your Eyes Tell, Film Out, Spring Day, Butterfly, Make it right, Blue&Grey, Magic shop, Answer:love myself, Louder than Bombs, The Truth Untold...these are some of my ot7 recommendation 🫶
Y’all got a new sub, great reaction
Missing BTS a lot..they're doing great now in their Military Service..woth your channel,i got to look back on their journey..thank you so much for this honest reaction...please do also watch all their episodes in BANGTAN TV (BTS's youtube channel)..you'll gonna know their different personalities and all..borahae
I’m so glad I found you two again!! I used to watch your Hunter X Hunter reactions and now you’re doing BTS?? I have no choice but to subscribe. Lol I love that you’re doing this series, I recommend listening to the title tracks from each album as you see the songs presented in the docu. For this album it would be “No More Dream” & “We are Bulletproof Pt.2” but I also recommend listening to the song “Like” off this album. Although like is a B-side, it has the most streams out of any song on their debut album because it went viral on tiktok in 2021! Excited to see your journey with BTS, there’s a good reason why they are the biggest group on the planet & my favorite artists of all time. My parents are both in the music industry so I have had the privilege of meeting so many amazing artists & bands but I have never “stanned” an artist until BTS, they are very special.
Looking forward to your next reaction💜💜💜
YEAHHHH
Main song with MV are : no more dream
We are bulletproof pt2
I really hope that you guys react to the songs in whatever way or whatever order you guys want to tackle them. In order of title tracks, full albums, including soundclouds uploads, or whatever. I really enjoy both of your reactions to the series. For a lot of armys, the lyrics are super important, myself included. Whatever obstacles they always find a way and that has been the way BTS & Armys deal with everything. We always find away! Looking foward to your next reactions.
Poor little Kookie. Thank you for reacting our tannies. Have a good day. 💜💜
BTS got the most beautiful songs
Thank you for appreciating their journey
Yeah korea definitely has many debut groups every year from the small companies to larger companies
Really enjoyed listening to your thoughts through the video as well as your final discussion. Looking forward to your exploration of the songs. While I'm sure you'll be checking out the title tracks (esp because they have music videos), don't forget about the b-sides/skits. BTS has some of the most memorable non-title songs.
Jungkook is barely a little innocent herе❤
Every kpop group usually promotes their new song at music shows at least 1 week. Mamamoo does that too
Thank you for this chapter so quickly. I love this series and love watching you react 💜
The debut stage songs and singles from 2 Cool 4 Skool were No More Dream and Bulletproof Part 2. If you react to these 2 MVs use the channel 1theK because they are the official MVs with English subs 😊
Don't forget bonus scenes and deleted content from the chapters 😊
You become ARMY, well Baby ARMY to start with. It is a feeling you get for yourself when you become aggravated by hurtful comments to them, protective of them, want to promote their good messages, things like that.
ARMY is an acronym for Adorable Representative MC for Youth.
Thank you for reacting to this extremely well made series about our precious #BTS 👍🏼
There are crazy good dancers in kpop like you haven’t seen anything yet. They do crazy acrobatic stuff and dance so perfectly you’d be surprised. Kpop has really good dancers
I appreciate your insights! I can’t wait to watch with you guys Run BTS series, Bon Voyage and the Soop!💜APOBANGPO
Loved this! I just got done watching you guys' first Rise of bangtan ep and then this one popped up in my rec. Thanks for pumping these out so quick while still actually paying attention. It shows that you really care. Definitely subscribing 💜💜💜
Wow I just watch the rise of Bangtan 1 ..see already they 3 😊you guys make my days .thank you so much cant wait to watch 💜
30:17 ahh thats exactly it🥹 i never heard anyone put it in that perspective ngl but it's so true. its still true too. the members are super duper pessimistic and self critical in general tbh, so they still have this mindset of "I" shouldnt be the one who's holding bangtan back or that "I" need to be better and catch up with the rests caliber or "I" should work extra hard to compensate what i lack so all members appear at the same level etc etc theyve always given their 200%, even at their own expense, to make sure that they arent the reason they fail. Theyve always had this mindset and i feel is kinda the reason ARMYs always went so hard to promote them to non fans to get their music their deserved exposure back then. the sentiment during comebacks always used be smth akin to 'their music is too good and worked too hard upon to get skimmed past on' just had to be super zealous in votings for mysic shows and annoyingly reccing them everywhere 😂😂
Wow wow another good channel... Can't wait to watch the next chapter... Thank you guys for giving our boys a chance 💜 always love to see reactors who have a good conversations
You guys are one of my favourite TH-camrs and I'm so happy seeing you react to my favourite group!
As you requested, the recommendation from the first album would be
No more dream
We are bulletproof pt2
U are so genuine in reacting.
i sub..yo good .i really like their old school song & this album especially their pre debut song we are bulletproof pt 1.B song is good ..path/road
*Please watch bts hardships & Why BTS is treated UNFAIR in Korea, to know how badly the industry and fans of other kpop groups treated bts*
I really enjoyed your reaction -- I've watched so many reactors watch this series, and you guys are one of the very few who really paid attention and recognized their goals and purpose of being artists. Many reactors are not as focused (if I'm putting it politely), and it's so refreshing to see that after only the Taylor guide and 2 TROB chapters, you both already get why they are the biggest in the industry.
For their debut album "2 Cool 4 Skool" they promoted and filmed music videos for 2 tracks - "No More Dream" (title) and "We are Bulletproof Pt. 2". The album also included an Intro (which they will sample in a later album), Skit (a recording of them discussing their dreams) , Interlude (an instrumental), and Outro (a recording of each of them showing their rap skills...lol).
This album also contained two hidden tracks on the physical album - another skit and "Path". I believe (correct me if I'm wrong), Namjoon has said in the past that when they put hidden tracks in album, they're special messages between the band and ARMY.
1 Intro : 2 COOL 4 SKOOL feat. DJ Friz
2 We are bulletproof PT.2 - music video and dance practice available on TH-cam
3 Skit : Circle room talk
4 No More Dream - music video, choreography video, and dance practice available on TH-cam
5 Interlude
6 Like - Showcase sketch video available on TH-cam
7 Outro : Circle room cypher
8 Skit: On the Start Line (Hidden Track)
9 길 (Path) (Hidden Track)
Towards the end of this chapter of TROB, they showed them filming the video for "N.O", the title track of their 2nd mini album "ORUL8,2?"
Also, if you do a deep dive into their lyrics, PLEASE use doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com rather than lyric videos. She's an army and has translated their entire discography. She also adds context and meanings to the cultural references they use so that their words are not misconstrued. The people who make lyric videos just want the views ($), and 99.9% of the time they are wrong because they don't identify the members correctly, and they use the literal translations from google translate so it doesn't make sense.
Wow that was fast. Love the enthusiasm, can not wait for the next episode!
Thanks for your reaction 💜
The prank was pretty harsh tho on 16 yo perfectionist jungkook 😂
Thank you so much for doing chapter 2 so soon. So Happy. Love how you are paying attention - I am here for chapter 3 💜
Love your reaction
Ok I definitely need to put on notifications
Really enjoying guys, thank you. I miss them all so much. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you guys i enjoyed your reaction you made my day ❤
You can check out all their enlistment videos of military enlistment
I just watched the ep 5and 6 of their docu beyond the story airing on disney now yesterday and watching this today with you they really came a long way 🥺
Armys need to subscribe to these guys!! I'll tell you it's worth it.. They're uploading so early these past few months and they deserved it.. 💜
Thank you
Can’t wait for the other parts 💗
PRECISO DE MAIS💜🇧🇷
Thank you for uploading so quickly!! I love that you guys make such insightful comments and make the effort to understand where bts come from!!
Hi not necessarily 2 songs per episode! In this one you got No More Dream, Beautiful, Bulletproof pt2, and a sneak of N.O 💜
The bit where Bang PD talks about suspending all activities other than rehearsals when they're preparing for a comeback is a big deal. The company was really struggling and all the members did outside work like backup dancing or as extras in other groups' videos or commercials, skipping that revenue for any amount of time was impactful.
By the way phonetically it's Shuga not Suga, as in the first syllables of shooting guard, that's how he chose the name, it was his position in high school basketball.
😊🙏💜🇨🇦
Love your reaction!! 💜
Thanks a lot! can't wait for the next reaction!
you guys should watch their Disney+ docuseries BTS Monuments: Beyond the Star. It tells their personal story from theirselves so it really opens your eyes and you can get info from their perspectives. We also got some clips army have never seen before.
💜💜💜💜
Bu seri çok iyi lütfen devam ediiiiinnnnnnn
