He gave the legacy of Kpop in the hands of BTS. Basically, he given the control in the hands of BTS because he said they are future of Kpop. He only trusted BTS for his created legacy of Kpop. Because both have same genre in their blood Hip Hop. Years later he collaborated with them in his concert. And from then BTS domination era started now it's impossible to anybody to touch BTS.
@@hussainenayat2312 He basically given the torch of kpop in the hands of BTS & said this is now your generation. Means after him only BTS are the ones who are leading kpop Industry.
@@hussainenayat2312 you can just search up videos or articles from seo taiji's 25th anniversary concert in korea, what he said about passing the torch to bts have been quite well documented :)
Literally I got into Bts in 2017 and I had no idea what kpop was at all, yes I had heard gangham style but had no clue about the singer or their background, heck I didn’t even know anything about South Korea in general. BTS introduced me to South Korea as a whole not just kpop.
This! I literally never even knew what kpop was until 2022-2023. I knew BTS before I even realized that KPOP was a thing, and that’s when I got into KPOP (bcs of BTS). I only follow SKZ & Newjeans but BTS are my ULT
@@Baehobie same for me tbh like i didn't had anyy idea there was country named south korea i just got to know about bts and searched them while looking for them i got to know about kpop and sk. Bts are a reallyyyy big impact
18:22 HIPHOP PHILE is a song every bts fan must know. It's their tribute to hiphop and their influences. And born singer, a jcole cover is a huge part of bts's early discography, they talk about their hardships in that song.
as a woman, gender has nothing to do with the "paved the way" conversation. those fans of bts (that ultimately are the reason bts paved the way) didn't just trickle down to kpop boy groups, they also trickled down to kpop girl groups. that's all i feel like i really need to say on that. and when blackpink debuted, bts were already paving the way and exploding on the internet with songs like dope and blood, sweat and tears. along with the fact blackpink is part of one of the big 3 kpop labels (yg).
36:15 As someone who has listened to kpop since the 90s and was a fan of a bunch of different kpop groups and artists, I still say BTS paved the way. I remember being a kid and not being able to find korean music in target or tower records here in the states. I had to go to shady websites to get my kpop music hahaha. But after bts??? there's kpop sections in stores now. I saw the growth and the difference. And you gotta give props where they're due.
There is a series made by ARMY called Rise of Bangtan. In this well made series it explains the origins of K-pop in a non-biased way that you’ll understand. For your question about how it started, I suggest reacting to this series. As it goes on, the main focus is BTS, however there is so much to learn about the industry of K-pop that Westerners don’t understand. 💜 Edit: Each episode also has extras such as Deleted scenes and Bonus content. :)
BTS is popular because they take the time to create meaningful music; lyrics, music & dancing. They also take time to appreciate their fans in ways no other group has before, they've really connected with their fans. There is so much that goes into why BTS is popular, it's absolutely not something that can be replicated over night, it's a very personal level for BTS & ARMY. BTS are big contributors to their music; writing, composing, singing, concepts, dancing. Everyone of BTS members does everything, they are not experts at everything, but they work very hard, help each other to learn all aspects of the music. I have not seen any group like BTS, east or west, they are truly unique and special. They are legends already, as a group and well on their way as individual artists. They are compared to the likes of the Beattles, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley and these are big names, these are group/artists that have actually done something big in the western music industry and BTS is at the level. The groups that don't like hearing this or seeing this are groups that try to say they paved the way, very jealous fandoms. I've come across a lot of fandom interactions and there's a lot of hostility, but if you see what they're saying, they're just babbling a bunch of stuff that their group did (after BTS) has already accomplished, go on about the most streams, etc, but no real impact, because BTS has already made that impact. BTS was forced to find their own way because the K Pop industry did everything they could to keep them down, but now that BTS is so big, the industry now claims them as K Pop. I admire BTs & ARMY, both are always battling negativity, battling the east and west music industry, just for fair representation. Enjoyed your reaction. Thank you for sharing.
Kpop is super competitive, and since BTS are still active many kpop fans view them as direct competition so of course some won't like to mention them. Fans of previous generations do feel like praising BTS erases achievments of 2d generation groups, and I don't think it will ever go away.
These are facts. Bangtan worked their ass off to get where they are and I’m glad. They’ve raised the standard and I personally will enjoy watching the groups that have genuine talent and hard work shine through. Money & imitation only gets people so far. Rooting for all those genuine groups to thrive and thanking Bangtan for being one of a kind 🖤
I love what you said about how scary and hard it must be for Bts to be in an unknown territory. At that time, RM was the only one who speaks English (The others understand a little but not as much as RM). Tho not perfect, he could understand what they were saying. And there were a lot of other videos out there where reporters and paparazis were talking crap in their face thinking they couldn't understand it. RM could. Which reminds me of a time years ago, when they were teens and one of the members asked RM to translate one of the messages they received from a fan, not knowing that the message wasn't really from a fan. It was from a hater and the message was saying some hateful stuff to them. RM lied to them (they were young at the time), he said the message said good things but in reality, it was hateful words. The responsibility RM had must've been extremely heavy considering he was the leader and the ones who has to translate and a spokesperson for the team.
BTS Paved the way! 💜That is not just a phrase that army invented but facts. At first we use it to celebrate their achievements but then some kpop fandoms started taking it in some way as something bad without even knowing the real meaning of paving the way and then started to use it with their own favs to discredit BTS(?) We use the paved the way because we are proud of them not to say they nvented kpop or to say other groups don't work hard. There's millions of proves that shows how BTS paved the way so we don't really worry about it lol. There's a lot of idols from every generation also mentioning how BTS opened the doors for kpop in the global marketso... The only ones who deny it are jealous fans, haters and idols who are pushed to be the next BTS a lot. Their companies always make things worst with the amount of media play and of course never forgetting to use BTS' name 🙄🙄
You could react to Rise of Bangtan chapter 1 You will learn more about bts life and sucess from beggining to legend. BTS taught me to love myself💜💜💜 if no one loves you you try to love yourself first
BTS are hip hop lovers and rappers who happen to be in an idol group. But other groups are Kpop idol groups who just include rap in their tracks. This is a big difference. I love your analysis of Boracity's video. You should watch her video 'Finding the next BTS: Why the fail'. You should also listen to BTS track HIP HOP LOVER. They wrote this as teenagers.💜
Loved your reaction and comments! You're super respectful and genuinely understand what you're watching. If you wanna dig into more of BTS' creations, specifically what inspired them, I'd recommend reacting to the following! Born Singer, 2022 live performance: th-cam.com/video/oH4IZw9PYgk/w-d-xo.html (this is a remake of a j.cole song they sampled back in 2013, "Born Sinner," and released it only a month after they debuted, so the lyrics represent their 2013 selves) Hip Hop Lover: th-cam.com/video/8u2PbB7cSKg/w-d-xo.html
18:12 A great way to know who inspired them is to listen to their song Hip Hop Lover where they litterally name all their rap heroes. These guys know their stuff! 💜
I really enjoyed your video. BTS’ first discrimination came from their own people in Korea. Because they came from a unknown label and not the Big 3 label company they were looked down on from the very beginning. I’m telling you the knetizens were and are brutal and vicious. I speak as a Korean American who was born and raised in Korea the first 10 years of my life. BTS has raised the bar on so many levels that I really doubt that anyone can even catch up close. Sure other groups are very talented but to get to the level of BTS or even higher I really don’t think any group or individual has that amount of talent not only in performance but in skills, creativity, determination, commitment, a balance within a team and as individuals, no egos and selfishness, smart business minded, commitment to making making good music and not what would make a song popular, and so much more. Their sincerity and love for army fandom is unequal. Sorry but it was very bad of Blackpink to say what they said. Some people tried to defend Blackpink’s comment and said that they were probably forced to say it by their label but I don’t buy it because that means it means they are just puppets and not artists. As a matter of fact they are not artists but performers as they have never been involved in creating their music. I agree with Boracity Magazine that it’s pure jealousy stemming from recognizing their talent and artistry but not wanting “nobodies from unknown label” to be better than their faves who canes from the Big 3. It’s Korea’s history of thousands of years of looking down on the less fortunate people and considering them as animals rather than humans. I know it’s harsh but it’s the truth.
As you requested a song that talks about their artistic influences you can react to their song "Hip Hop Phile"! They also did the song "Born Singer" (react to a live performance) in which they talk about their attitude as they just debuted as artists and it's over the instrumental of J Cole's track "Born Sinner"... These 2 songs are a good starting point! Now to elaborate more... RM's biggest influence is Nas, J-hope it's J Cole and SUGA would be Eminem, Kendrick but they really have their own identity... J-hope also recently collabed with J cole on the song "on the street" which is a tribute to his journey so far and he lets J cole take a large part of the song to show his respect (his name was also influenced by cole and he started as an underground dancer and used to dance to cole a lot). J-Hope also sampled Ol'Dirty Bastard and a 2000s Harlem song from Young B Chicken Noodle Soup... he also prepares a documentary on hip hop and street dance that should come out next year on Disney +... RM collabed with Wale, and on his more recent album with Erykah Badu, Anderson .Paak and Tablo (rapper from the group Epik High who was a huge inspiration to him when he was amateur)... SUGA has a collab with Juice Wrld (if you listen to his song Amygdala you can definitely hear the influence), also Ryuichi Sakamoto a Japanese musician who inspired him a lot as a producer I could go on forever but as you continue this BTS journey you'll get to hear about their inspiration and for me that's what really sets them apart, they continuously pay homage and include orginators and players of the culture into their works! Even the singers of BTS non-rappers really appreciate and understand with Jimin featuring on a song with NLE Choppa/ Kodak Black, Jungkook with Latto, V doing a lot of jazz covers and mostly listens and shares Etta James and other deep cuts soul/rnb tracks and rap... There's real knowledge, appreciation and respect for the culture that I didn't necessarily find in the rest of K-pop
A Beautifull Story of BTS by Ricesquad is a great video about how they got together and their coming up, achievements, debut, albums, very good video about the boys. I bet you'll love it. Great addition to all the other stuff your watching now. Love your channel, greetz ftom the Netherlands ✌️✌️💜💜😊 Also the rise off bangtan is a great series about bts and how kpop came about
Oh no please. It is such a salesman story trying hard to sell. He has the same hype for other groups. And he says a few things quite wrongly, like saying Dynamite was made to break into the western market. No, they made that during the pandemy to reach their fans and cheer them up. Anyway, thats one noisy video story I would never recommend.
What I like about Bts, is that despite all this success and popularity, they stayed humble and down to earth. Their heads didn't get big. The question you asked about how they feel about all this success and being people's inspiration, well Bts members did say they are proud. But at the same time, the pressure is immense. They whole world is looking at them. Whether it'd be positively or negatively. One wrong move from them, one small mistake would be a huge downfall. It will be a huge topic. The thought of it is scary.
Bts is so big cause they have huge talent probably they will become icons in world wide music history like Michael Jackson or Beatles... Like a group or singer when is good is always compared with this icons, so in kpop all good kpop groups will be compared to bts( and they should be Grateful for that! It's a sign that they are great) ... Like bts is so many times compared to Beatles... It's an honor to be compared to them or to MJ for example
18:19 bts pays respect to the artists who influenced and inspired them the most in this song, you should definitely check it, it's called *hiphop phile* lyrics video: th-cam.com/video/1w0ya8Qof0I/w-d-xo.html live performances with subs: th-cam.com/video/a-KhTTQVLZ0/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/a_3KCRAYAFQ/w-d-xo.html

Love your vibe thanks for your reaction and genuine interest in BTS. Check out the Rise of Bangtan docuseries. Episode 1 talks about the KPop industry. There are 20 episodes I think maybe 21. Also check out Rice Squad The most beautiful life goes on: a story of BTS. it’s narrated in English and there are 3 versions…view the most recent one April 7, 2022 as there were updates from the original post in 2020. You nice, keep going !
It's really not controversial, i never get when people are offended when i (like many others) say bts paved the way. It's simply facts. I know many people who listen to kpop who would never have know the groups they listen to if it wasnt for BTS. Some of them dont even listen to bts but admit they would never have known blackpink or twice or skz etc without bts. (The past line was actually a direct quote from a blink). No one is denying the work other idols put in. Please, to anyone who does get offended by aomeone saying "BTS paved the way", do some research, look at things form multiple standpoints and juat be respectful and factual. 😊
11:34 This shit makes me understand why at the peak of their career right after they got big in the USA they had their worse year and nearly disbanded.
I love the section about how BTS actually researches and credits a major K-Pop influence- black artists. That is important because black people experience discrimination worldwide, and definitely in S. Korea, despite idols and other Korean entertainers making money off of black art. Look at BTS’ million dollar donation to Black Lives Matter, etc. The unique overt influence of 90s hip hop in BTS’ early music (RM fought the label for this) was a reason why people, including the American general public like me, started to take BTS seriously when they started to blow up on social media around 2016. It may not be quite as true for all younger fans, but Gen X and some Millenials like me respect that legit influence behind BTS’ rap. Many K-Pop rappers don’t even write their own bars, let alone understand much about hip hop other than “swag.” In turn, BTS’ diverse fan base including older ARMYs is a reason for their longevity. Older fans spend money, are less likely to chase trends, and open up additional demographics.
30:58 no for ladies neigther for gentlemen. just kpop. BTS paved the way for Kpop as a whole. without them you probably should have never hear about kpop.
I too can't understand what's so triggering about a fact everyone know 😂 Im just bts fan as boracity said not kpop fan and discovered bts by myself so im part of the gp too lol I like your reaction 💜
BTS paved the way, period. I don't know why its such a controversial topic. I need everyone denying it to BFFR!!!😂The issue comes down to people thing one thing erases the other. No, 2 things can be true. The 1st & 2nd generation started it and set up a foundation BUT they weren't doing the same promo BTS did and their content didn't stick fr. They weren't running the charts and getting continuous invites back to the US.
with the recent release of his solo album Jungkook of BTS became the first solo K pop artist to debut at number one on billboard hot 100, billboard global 200, billboard global excluding US charts billboard in the United States.
The point boracity was making when she showed the girl grp talking of paving the way was that while BTS did pave the way, they themselves dont say any such things.
Many k pop groups don’t have their own personalities or create their own music. The big 3 k pop companies in Korea are now maybe just starting to give their artists some musical input but they are in charge of everything. BTS label was different.
“Edvice to the next bts..no need bc there is no next bts” -suga (people think suga is cold and rude but he’s just speaking the truth that other people don’t want to speak)
BTS still had a team around them, and they wouldn't be where they are today without that team. They just weren't a part of the big three companies that had all the power and money to promote their groups. BTS's label Big Hit Entertainment, were almost bankrupt, so they all worked together to find other ways to promote BTS.
For more info about how bts did things different from kpop at the time and ultimately influenced the kpop you see now, I recommend Boracity’s video “trends bts has created”- th-cam.com/video/PPIv2o6eE3Y/w-d-xo.html
about blackpink they dont really have any noticeable achievements. i feel like their names were always just attached to bts and thats how they came to be know.
DKDKTV has a short vid which may not be quiet on up to today but is still going up to 4th gen.: "Kpop history in 20 minutes" bby gang mag also has done some thing but more in the direction of what K-pop is: "BTS vs. K-pop". He has some more video essays but I don't quiet recall about history... "you are wrong about K-pop" is for example also good as is "BTS: More than K-pop" or his BTS paved the way vid (he points out for example BTS success in India and other countries) (I have to rewatch some of his stuff) The third song in the top10 chart was a B-side so that may have made a difference globally. I don't think any K-pop acts will reach BTS level. Don't take me wrong: some of them are very involved in their music, work hard, have good backing and a growing/good fandom (well most of it) but... BTS are one of the Once-In-A-Lifetime acts like MJ or the Beatles etc. They have their own section in the Guiness Book of World Records, World Leaders are impressed by them, they create ca. 0,5% (5 Billion USD) of SK's GDP. They are a soft power all on their own. They are the only artist that are on "The Legacy Lab Releases the Inaugural Legacy Makers 100 - A New Measure of Brand Value Based on Long-Term Contributions to People and Society, not Short-Term Market Value"-List (82). Not that they don't have also Brand Power like they are pretty much all signed to big Fashion labels because they sell out stuff that is unusual for those big names. If you google Rapline the pictures are BTS; if you google BTS click the purple heart etc. They exist in the Marvel Universe and DC. They are Mainstream in an unusual way. Dynamite's No. 1 on the HOT100 alone was projected to create 8000 jobs and create over 1 Billion USD for the GDP. BTS was in 2021 the bestselling artist (not K-pop artist: Artist) in Japan. But according to the IFPI they were the biggest artist in the world in 2020, 2021 and second biggest in 2022 (Taylor Swift managing to snag the No. 1 spot - and - not to be mean - she and her label do every trick that is allowed to get there and some are very unusual so I admire her how she conquered the System from within). "The Rise of Bangtan"-series actually has a lot of context. It's our best documentary till now. It's complicated. Mind you she is a little wrong about the friends in the Industry. BTS hasn't been on the variety shows, weekly K-pop shows and even big Award Shows for years (also Covid) so we have less to no interaction on camera but a few far in-between photos. Mind you Jin and Suga are introverts to begin with. The rapline has mostly Hiphop artists as friends and a few Idols that are both. V has Wooga Squad but I think they are actors mostly. Jimin has friends among the dancers of the Big 3 like Taemin and Kai but is also friends with Ha Sungwoon. JK is friends with the 97 liners. There are also connections to other artists under Big Hit/HYBE like Zico or Lee Hyun/Midnatt. I bet that all the TXT members have at least one BTS member in their phonelist even if here they are more the helpful seniors. You nice! Keep going!
This. This video. This is why BTS and army are still being attacked, jealousy. They were shut out in the beginning which made BTS improvise. Now that their talent and effort paid off, ppl are hating on them and want what BTS without the work. The K-pop fandoms even banded together and tried to “officially “ kick” ARMY out of ..K-pop fandoms (🤣). First ARMY was never a part of K-pop. They hate it. But the MEMES that ARMY created that day are LEGENDARY. ARMY and kpoop do NOT get along, so when we hear BTS lumped in With the rest of kpop, it pisses us off.💜
#BTS is 100% better than PSY.. when I 1st heard of PSY's song I didn't even know he was a K-pop singer.. & then #BTS came along is when I started listening to K-POP SONGS in 2015..#BTS is #LEGENDS❤ BTS PAVED the way for K-pop!! j cole. eminem. pharrell , etc.... inspired BTS to sing 💜 ✨️ 😊
If you live in certain countries, you cannot say things which the rulers find compromising. If you work for one of the Big 3 Korean Music Corporations, you also are limited in saying things which may contradict or challenge the company line. Having Rain, Psy or Bang Chan speak their mind in a way that credits BTS is not surprising. To hear similar thoughts from active Big 3 Idol group members might be seen as going against the company line.
why did you seperate the "ladies" from Kpop. That BTS paved the way had nothing to do with their gender. So, No, Blackpink didn't pave the way for anyone. Not for the ladies and not for Kpop.
he never said that black pink paved the way for the ladies, he said he could see how no one made female groups more known. i definitely agree with him bc overseas you’ll mostly see male groups, i rarely see female kpop groups other than black pink that are mentioned or known with non kpop fans. Walking down the street you’ll most likely see bts, stray kids, enha, txt on billboards or things like that but i understand that you mean that they paved the way for all genders.
bts never paved any way for blackpink. bp themselves got globally big as they are the first kpop act to debut #1 itunes global, first kpop song to debut spotify weekly chart in 2017 (aiiyl), highest charting kpop song on hot 100 at the time(aiiyl).
@@jimins_missing_height777 i don't watch her videos cuz its bullshit. she accuses bp and yg of some bad things but never backing them up with actual proof. she just talking shit
I'm a ARMY and I agree with Bora but, honestly, i totally agree with you on the Blackpink part.. Because of these stupid fanwars people are getting blind and not seeing the obvious. BTS paved the way? OBVIOUSLY. But you can't say that Blackpink aren't doing for the woman's side of things, because they have to face not only the racism, xenophobia but they have to deal with machism too... not seeing that is just fandons bullshit
That "put your hand down, this is America" comment confuses me so much. Like, what did she mean? What was she saying? I'm American, we wave in photos too, what was she even on about?
This is a great video for BTS. I love how they talk about the impact BTS has on the entire world. I want everyone to enjoy k-pop in general and BTS was at the forefront to help push it over more in an extreme way that the first 2 generations couldn't do. But don't discount those before BTS because there were some that helped build that road before BTS. Here is another video by Johnathan Miller Music who has many videos on k-pop or any music and he is very informative about the music industry for western and k-pop. Johathan, also did a video for a more deep dive in the Rise of Stray Kids th-cam.com/video/PY-WJp5z6zc/w-d-xo.html. What I love about this video it isn't just about stray kids. Its also about JYP and he also talks a little about more about k-pop industry and the start before stray kids and how they are helping keep k-pop alive world wide that others have paved before them like G-Dragon, Big Bang, Rain and BTS. They aren't competing against them or BTS but helping in the goal of k-pop to be global around the world. He also has one on BTS and how they have had a Global impact world wide a more in depth version of BTS the video is 2 years old though its still good. Here is that link: th-cam.com/video/A-VwBYJOEbY/w-d-xo.html I love Johnathon's videos here is another one about k-pop from 2 years ago: th-cam.com/video/4bmIvqWYMuE/w-d-xo.html
Obviously according to your channel you're just a multi (more stay and VIP than ARMY) , and that Jonathan is anything espacially an opportunist except an expert... You're just inserting your favs who by the way are not keeping anything alive .. BTS were before them and they're still here above them.. So just stop your hypocrisy.
Just started watching the video but you asked for a history of kpop video suggestion. On of the best ones is "KPOP HISTORY in 20mins | From SeoTaiji to BTS" by DKDKTV. Danny and David are Koreans who live in Korea and speak excellent English. Here is the link th-cam.com/video/kPS4tCHT6SA/w-d-xo.html
Please react to RISE OF BANGTAN and individual Documentry 💜 I like ur reaction. I hope u will continue content about the boys and music. Tnx u. Sub+like 👌
13:00 I LOOOOVVEEEE Japanese music. Try Yonezu Kenshi. I've loved his music for so long. "Loser" and "Lemon" are good starts. But don't react to them. TH-cam strikes Japanese music all the time.
I'm really not sad to say this but c eventually ' nothing gonna happen to kpop artists. Shes right lol. With the biggest fandom ever, music industry is sabotaging BTS so much,by also being shady. How do you think k-pop gonna 'eventually' do anything? Mark my word, except for reactors on yt, nothing extraordinary is coming to kpop groups. Most of them are privileged and still using high payola. Even with that, they still can't surpass BTS. So no. The eventually is never gonna happen. I don't kpop. True. But I'm not bitter about them cuz I am not a music fan myself so I give zero fcks abt them But I'm very much aware of what game is going on in these industries n groups.
I don't like k-pop*! *** P.s yes in k-pop scene, obviously there are going to be groups who might one day be on top. That's inevitable. Màybe some might achieve a few things in westen industry but that industry is full of racism. Like I said, they r sabotaging BTS happily even with the biggest strongest fandom ever. K-pop groups are not going to achieve anything as BTS' level, let alone surpass them. BTS is way bigger than you are thinking. There are now at the same level as MJ, the Beatles. You're about to learn.
video titled every artist under HYBE labels. pre view the very first of the video before you start your reaction. there should be a short countdown sequence text should read every artist under HYBE labels in alphabetical order. very first artist should be US country artist Aaron Lewis. if so, you have the right video. you can back the video up to the beginning and start your reaction.

BTS contributed more to Kpop than possibly any group, even Seo Taiji praised them and he was pretty much the one that started the Kpop thing
He gave the legacy of Kpop in the hands of BTS. Basically, he given the control in the hands of BTS because he said they are future of Kpop. He only trusted BTS for his created legacy of Kpop. Because both have same genre in their blood Hip Hop. Years later he collaborated with them in his concert. And from then BTS domination era started now it's impossible to anybody to touch BTS.
Please tell me what seo taiji said about bts
@@hussainenayat2312 He basically given the torch of kpop in the hands of BTS & said this is now your generation. Means after him only BTS are the ones who are leading kpop Industry.

First!! Also i dont get how its even controversial! If you ask a non-kpop fan to name a group, they would def say BTS.

@@Baehobie same for me tbh like i didn't had anyy idea there was country named south korea i just got to know about bts and searched them while looking for them i got to know about kpop and sk. Bts are a reallyyyy big impact
18:22 HIPHOP PHILE is a song every bts fan must know. It's their tribute to hiphop and their influences.
And born singer, a jcole cover is a huge part of bts's early discography, they talk about their hardships in that song.
as a woman, gender has nothing to do with the "paved the way" conversation. those fans of bts (that ultimately are the reason bts paved the way) didn't just trickle down to kpop boy groups, they also trickled down to kpop girl groups. that's all i feel like i really need to say on that. and when blackpink debuted, bts were already paving the way and exploding on the internet with songs like dope and blood, sweat and tears. along with the fact blackpink is part of one of the big 3 kpop labels (yg).
36:15 As someone who has listened to kpop since the 90s and was a fan of a bunch of different kpop groups and artists, I still say BTS paved the way. I remember being a kid and not being able to find korean music in target or tower records here in the states. I had to go to shady websites to get my kpop music hahaha. But after bts??? there's kpop sections in stores now. I saw the growth and the difference. And you gotta give props where they're due.
bts' success improved the visibility of all kpop acts both male and female, so blackpink are opening the door that is already opened lol

There is a series made by ARMY called Rise of Bangtan. In this well made series it explains the origins of K-pop in a non-biased way that you’ll understand. For your question about how it started, I suggest reacting to this series. As it goes on, the main focus is BTS, however there is so much to learn about the industry of K-pop that Westerners don’t understand. 💜
Edit: Each episode also has extras such as Deleted scenes and Bonus content. :)
BTS is popular because they take the time to create meaningful music; lyrics, music & dancing. They also take time to appreciate their fans in ways no other group has before, they've really connected with their fans. There is so much that goes into why BTS is popular, it's absolutely not something that can be replicated over night, it's a very personal level for BTS & ARMY. BTS are big contributors to their music; writing, composing, singing, concepts, dancing. Everyone of BTS members does everything, they are not experts at everything, but they work very hard, help each other to learn all aspects of the music. I have not seen any group like BTS, east or west, they are truly unique and special. They are legends already, as a group and well on their way as individual artists. They are compared to the likes of the Beattles, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley and these are big names, these are group/artists that have actually done something big in the western music industry and BTS is at the level. The groups that don't like hearing this or seeing this are groups that try to say they paved the way, very jealous fandoms. I've come across a lot of fandom interactions and there's a lot of hostility, but if you see what they're saying, they're just babbling a bunch of stuff that their group did (after BTS) has already accomplished, go on about the most streams, etc, but no real impact, because BTS has already made that impact. BTS was forced to find their own way because the K Pop industry did everything they could to keep them down, but now that BTS is so big, the industry now claims them as K Pop. I admire BTs & ARMY, both are always battling negativity, battling the east and west music industry, just for fair representation. Enjoyed your reaction. Thank you for sharing.
Kpop is super competitive, and since BTS are still active many kpop fans view them as direct competition so of course some won't like to mention them.
Fans of previous generations do feel like praising BTS erases achievments of 2d generation groups, and I don't think it will ever go away.
These are facts. Bangtan worked their ass off to get where they are and I’m glad. They’ve raised the standard and I personally will enjoy watching the groups that have genuine talent and hard work shine through. Money & imitation only gets people so far. Rooting for all those genuine groups to thrive and thanking Bangtan for being one of a kind 🖤
I love what you said about how scary and hard it must be for Bts to be in an unknown territory. At that time, RM was the only one who speaks English (The others understand a little but not as much as RM). Tho not perfect, he could understand what they were saying. And there were a lot of other videos out there where reporters and paparazis were talking crap in their face thinking they couldn't understand it. RM could. Which reminds me of a time years ago, when they were teens and one of the members asked RM to translate one of the messages they received from a fan, not knowing that the message wasn't really from a fan. It was from a hater and the message was saying some hateful stuff to them. RM lied to them (they were young at the time), he said the message said good things but in reality, it was hateful words. The responsibility RM had must've been extremely heavy considering he was the leader and the ones who has to translate and a spokesperson for the team.
BTS Paved the way! 💜That is not just a phrase that army invented but facts. At first we use it to celebrate their achievements but then some kpop fandoms started taking it in some way as something bad without even knowing the real meaning of paving the way and then started to use it with their own favs to discredit BTS(?) We use the paved the way because we are proud of them not to say they nvented kpop or to say other groups don't work hard. There's millions of proves that shows how BTS paved the way so we don't really worry about it lol. There's a lot of idols from every generation also mentioning how BTS opened the doors for kpop in the global marketso... The only ones who deny it are jealous fans, haters and idols who are pushed to be the next BTS a lot. Their companies always make things worst with the amount of media play and of course never forgetting to use BTS' name 🙄🙄
You could react to Rise of Bangtan chapter 1
You will learn more about bts life and sucess from beggining to legend. BTS taught me to love myself💜💜💜 if no one loves you you try to love yourself first
Yes
BTS are hip hop lovers and rappers who happen to be in an idol group. But other groups are Kpop idol groups who just include rap in their tracks. This is a big difference.
I love your analysis of Boracity's video. You should watch her video 'Finding the next BTS: Why the fail'.
You should also listen to BTS track HIP HOP LOVER. They wrote this as teenagers.💜
Loved your reaction and comments! You're super respectful and genuinely understand what you're watching. If you wanna dig into more of BTS' creations, specifically what inspired them, I'd recommend reacting to the following!
Born Singer, 2022 live performance: th-cam.com/video/oH4IZw9PYgk/w-d-xo.html (this is a remake of a j.cole song they sampled back in 2013, "Born Sinner," and released it only a month after they debuted, so the lyrics represent their 2013 selves)
Hip Hop Lover: th-cam.com/video/8u2PbB7cSKg/w-d-xo.html
I would suggest bby gang magazine, he does very good video essays about BTS and the history of k-pop
Vex we need more bts reactions please ❤
18:12 A great way to know who inspired them is to listen to their song Hip Hop Lover where they litterally name all their rap heroes. These guys know their stuff! 💜
I really enjoyed your video. BTS’ first discrimination came from their own people in Korea. Because they came from a unknown label and not the Big 3 label company they were looked down on from the very beginning. I’m telling you the knetizens were and are brutal and vicious. I speak as a Korean American who was born and raised in Korea the first 10 years of my life.
BTS has raised the bar on so many levels that I really doubt that anyone can even catch up close. Sure other groups are very talented but to get to the level of BTS or even higher I really don’t think any group or individual has that amount of talent not only in performance but in skills, creativity, determination, commitment, a balance within a team and as individuals, no egos and selfishness, smart business minded, commitment to making making good music and not what would make a song popular, and so much more. Their sincerity and love for army fandom is unequal.
Sorry but it was very bad of Blackpink to say what they said. Some people tried to defend Blackpink’s comment and said that they were probably forced to say it by their label but I don’t buy it because that means it means they are just puppets and not artists. As a matter of fact they are not artists but performers as they have never been involved in creating their music.
I agree with Boracity Magazine that it’s pure jealousy stemming from recognizing their talent and artistry but not wanting “nobodies from unknown label” to be better than their faves who canes from the Big 3. It’s Korea’s history of thousands of years of looking down on the less fortunate people and considering them as animals rather than humans. I know it’s harsh but it’s the truth.
As you requested a song that talks about their artistic influences you can react to their song "Hip Hop Phile"! They also did the song "Born Singer" (react to a live performance) in which they talk about their attitude as they just debuted as artists and it's over the instrumental of J Cole's track "Born Sinner"... These 2 songs are a good starting point!
Now to elaborate more...
RM's biggest influence is Nas, J-hope it's J Cole and SUGA would be Eminem, Kendrick but they really have their own identity...
J-hope also recently collabed with J cole on the song "on the street" which is a tribute to his journey so far and he lets J cole take a large part of the song to show his respect (his name was also influenced by cole and he started as an underground dancer and used to dance to cole a lot). J-Hope also sampled Ol'Dirty Bastard and a 2000s Harlem song from Young B Chicken Noodle Soup... he also prepares a documentary on hip hop and street dance that should come out next year on Disney +...
RM collabed with Wale, and on his more recent album with Erykah Badu, Anderson .Paak and Tablo (rapper from the group Epik High who was a huge inspiration to him when he was amateur)...
SUGA has a collab with Juice Wrld (if you listen to his song Amygdala you can definitely hear the influence), also Ryuichi Sakamoto a Japanese musician who inspired him a lot as a producer
I could go on forever but as you continue this BTS journey you'll get to hear about their inspiration and for me that's what really sets them apart, they continuously pay homage and include orginators and players of the culture into their works!
Even the singers of BTS non-rappers really appreciate and understand with Jimin featuring on a song with NLE Choppa/ Kodak Black, Jungkook with Latto, V doing a lot of jazz covers and mostly listens and shares Etta James and other deep cuts soul/rnb tracks and rap...
There's real knowledge, appreciation and respect for the culture that I didn't necessarily find in the rest of K-pop
I am so proud of staning BTS right from the start mad Respect to BTS❤❤❤
I love how still with you instrumental is being played in the background 💜 makes me emotional 😢
A Beautifull Story of BTS by Ricesquad is a great video about how they got together and their coming up, achievements, debut, albums, very good video about the boys.
I bet you'll love it. Great addition to all the other stuff your watching now.
Love your channel, greetz ftom the Netherlands ✌️✌️💜💜😊
Also the rise off bangtan is a great series about bts and how kpop came about
Oh no please.
It is such a salesman story trying hard to sell.
He has the same hype for other groups.
And he says a few things quite wrongly, like saying Dynamite was made to break into the western market. No, they made that during the pandemy to reach their fans and cheer them up.
Anyway, thats one noisy video story I would never recommend.
@@RS-oy6bz well i like it 👌👌
Whatever they say or wish, BTS did it. 💜
Rise to Bantan is a very good documentary not only about BTS but K-pop
love me some BTS! I also like that BTS doesn't go nuts singing nothing but love songs. they have variety. I def like other groups too.
What I like about Bts, is that despite all this success and popularity, they stayed humble and down to earth. Their heads didn't get big. The question you asked about how they feel about all this success and being people's inspiration, well Bts members did say they are proud. But at the same time, the pressure is immense. They whole world is looking at them. Whether it'd be positively or negatively. One wrong move from them, one small mistake would be a huge downfall. It will be a huge topic. The thought of it is scary.
Bts is so big cause they have huge talent probably they will become icons in world wide music history like Michael Jackson or Beatles... Like a group or singer when is good is always compared with this icons, so in kpop all good kpop groups will be compared to bts( and they should be Grateful for that! It's a sign that they are great) ... Like bts is so many times compared to Beatles... It's an honor to be compared to them or to MJ for example
BT is already Legends
Thank you so much. I completely agree with what you stated, and for the first time ever, I watched someone else's video reaction without pausing it.
18:19 bts pays respect to the artists who influenced and inspired them the most in this song, you should definitely check it, it's called *hiphop phile*

KPOP HISTORY in 20mins | From SeoTaiji to BTS
If you wanna know more about kpop history, watch this video. its from 3 years ago but its probably the best one out there.
BTS PAVED THE WAY!!! This is not an opinion but a FACT!!!🤭
thank you for the reaction & actually taking your time to pay attention to all that was being said 💜
Love your vibe thanks for your reaction and genuine interest in BTS. Check out the Rise of Bangtan docuseries. Episode 1 talks about the KPop industry. There are 20 episodes I think maybe 21. Also check out Rice Squad The most beautiful life goes on: a story of BTS. it’s narrated in English and there are 3 versions…view the most recent one April 7, 2022 as there were updates from the original post in 2020. You nice, keep going !
It's really not controversial, i never get when people are offended when i (like many others) say bts paved the way. It's simply facts. I know many people who listen to kpop who would never have know the groups they listen to if it wasnt for BTS. Some of them dont even listen to bts but admit they would never have known blackpink or twice or skz etc without bts. (The past line was actually a direct quote from a blink). No one is denying the work other idols put in. Please, to anyone who does get offended by aomeone saying "BTS paved the way", do some research, look at things form multiple standpoints and juat be respectful and factual. 😊
RM has always said it was Nas’s music that inspired him to rap. Suga was inspired bu Enimen. J-Hope’s first musical influence was J-Cole.
11:34 This shit makes me understand why at the peak of their career right after they got big in the USA they had their worse year and nearly disbanded.
I love the section about how BTS actually researches and credits a major K-Pop influence- black artists. That is important because black people experience discrimination worldwide, and definitely in S. Korea, despite idols and other Korean entertainers making money off of black art. Look at BTS’ million dollar donation to Black Lives Matter, etc. The unique overt influence of 90s hip hop in BTS’ early music (RM fought the label for this) was a reason why people, including the American general public like me, started to take BTS seriously when they started to blow up on social media around 2016. It may not be quite as true for all younger fans, but Gen X and some Millenials like me respect that legit influence behind BTS’ rap. Many K-Pop rappers don’t even write their own bars, let alone understand much about hip hop other than “swag.” In turn, BTS’ diverse fan base including older ARMYs is a reason for their longevity. Older fans spend money, are less likely to chase trends, and open up additional demographics.
30:58 no for ladies neigther for gentlemen. just kpop. BTS paved the way for Kpop as a whole. without them you probably should have never hear about kpop.
I too can't understand what's so triggering about a fact everyone know 😂
Im just bts fan as boracity said not kpop fan and discovered bts by myself so im part of the gp too lol
I like your reaction 💜
Some of the biggest names in music are a huge fan of bts ❤❤❤
You'll need to go way back to the beginning when they started as a hip hop group. Their roots really are hip hop.
Thank you sm for this reaction
bro you're my new fav channel now.
Yes they did.
If you start watching the Rise of Bangtan, you will learn about the Kpop history
BTS paved the way, period. I don't know why its such a controversial topic. I need everyone denying it to BFFR!!!😂The issue comes down to people thing one thing erases the other. No, 2 things can be true. The 1st & 2nd generation started it and set up a foundation BUT they weren't doing the same promo BTS did and their content didn't stick fr. They weren't running the charts and getting continuous invites back to the US.
with the recent release of his solo album Jungkook of BTS became the first solo K pop artist to debut at number one on billboard hot 100, billboard global 200, billboard global excluding US charts billboard in the United States.
The FIRST to open the door for ladies is girls generation
The point boracity was making when she showed the girl grp talking of paving the way was that while BTS did pave the way, they themselves dont say any such things.
Many k pop groups don’t have their own personalities or create their own music. The big 3 k pop companies in Korea are now maybe just starting to give their artists some musical input but they are in charge of everything. BTS label was different.
“Edvice to the next bts..no need bc there is no next bts” -suga (people think suga is cold and rude but he’s just speaking the truth that other people don’t want to speak)
When you said “the 1900s”, I swear I think my soul left my body for a second. Sir, PLEASE don’t say it like that 😂😂😂😂😂
Literally had to catch myself 😂. I was like wait…1900s 🤔
Hip Hiphile aka Hip Hop Lover (eng subs) is a must,.. live performance is a available ~ thank you for your thoughts and interest in our BTS🔥👍🏼😎
BTS still had a team around them, and they wouldn't be where they are today without that team. They just weren't a part of the big three companies that had all the power and money to promote their groups. BTS's label Big Hit Entertainment, were almost bankrupt, so they all worked together to find other ways to promote BTS.
For more info about how bts did things different from kpop at the time and ultimately influenced the kpop you see now, I recommend Boracity’s video “trends bts has created”- th-cam.com/video/PPIv2o6eE3Y/w-d-xo.html

Here's the link to the history of KPop. From Seo Taiji and Boys To BTS th-cam.com/video/kPS4tCHT6SA/w-d-xo.html
about blackpink they dont really have any noticeable achievements. i feel like their names were always just attached to bts and thats how they came to be know.
2:33 no that was actually NCT127 with LilBaby 😄👍🏽
Boracity always spit facts!
Please watch k-pop vs BTS by her it's a great video 💜
Yes please 💜
It is old video but I think the video "KPOP History in 20 min" by dkdktv will help you get a brief summary of Kpop history.
DKDKTV has a short vid which may not be quiet on up to today but is still going up to 4th gen.: "Kpop history in 20 minutes"
bby gang mag also has done some thing but more in the direction of what K-pop is: "BTS vs. K-pop".
He has some more video essays but I don't quiet recall about history...
"you are wrong about K-pop" is for example also good as is "BTS: More than K-pop" or his BTS paved the way vid (he points out for example BTS success in India and other countries)
(I have to rewatch some of his stuff)
The third song in the top10 chart was a B-side so that may have made a difference globally.
I don't think any K-pop acts will reach BTS level.
Don't take me wrong: some of them are very involved in their music, work hard, have good backing and a growing/good fandom (well most of it) but...
BTS are one of the Once-In-A-Lifetime acts like MJ or the Beatles etc.
They have their own section in the Guiness Book of World Records, World Leaders are impressed by them, they create ca. 0,5% (5 Billion USD) of SK's GDP. They are a soft power all on their own.
They are the only artist that are on "The Legacy Lab Releases the Inaugural Legacy Makers 100 - A New Measure of Brand Value Based on Long-Term Contributions to People and Society, not Short-Term Market Value"-List (82). Not that they don't have also Brand Power like they are pretty much all signed to big Fashion labels because they sell out stuff that is unusual for those big names. If you google Rapline the pictures are BTS; if you google BTS click the purple heart etc. They exist in the Marvel Universe and DC. They are Mainstream in an unusual way.
Dynamite's No. 1 on the HOT100 alone was projected to create 8000 jobs and create over 1 Billion USD for the GDP.
BTS was in 2021 the bestselling artist (not K-pop artist: Artist) in Japan.
But according to the IFPI they were the biggest artist in the world in 2020, 2021 and second biggest in 2022 (Taylor Swift managing to snag the No. 1 spot - and - not to be mean - she and her label do every trick that is allowed to get there and some are very unusual so I admire her how she conquered the System from within).
"The Rise of Bangtan"-series actually has a lot of context. It's our best documentary till now.
It's complicated.
Mind you she is a little wrong about the friends in the Industry. BTS hasn't been on the variety shows, weekly K-pop shows and even big Award Shows for years (also Covid) so we have less to no interaction on camera but a few far in-between photos. Mind you Jin and Suga are introverts to begin with.
The rapline has mostly Hiphop artists as friends and a few Idols that are both. V has Wooga Squad but I think they are actors mostly. Jimin has friends among the dancers of the Big 3 like Taemin and Kai but is also friends with Ha Sungwoon. JK is friends with the 97 liners.
There are also connections to other artists under Big Hit/HYBE like Zico or Lee Hyun/Midnatt. I bet that all the TXT members have at least one BTS member in their phonelist even if here they are more the helpful seniors.
You nice! Keep going!
if you wanna know BTS song as an homage to their muses, check out Hip Hop Phile by BTS
The very first person to say that was the South Korean president.
Hi you might want to watch the Rise of Bangtan Series 💜
The boy group that was with lil baby they weren’t BTS I don’t know who they are but they weren’t BTS.
It was nct
@@michealogboru9578 Ahh thank you I as wondering how they were.
That picture of the kpop group with lil baby was not BTS that was nct 127
This. This video. This is why BTS and army are still being attacked, jealousy. They were shut out in the beginning which made BTS improvise. Now that their talent and effort paid off, ppl are hating on them and want what BTS without the work. The K-pop fandoms even banded together and tried to “officially “ kick” ARMY out of ..K-pop fandoms (🤣). First ARMY was never a part of K-pop. They hate it. But the MEMES that ARMY created that day are LEGENDARY. ARMY and kpoop do NOT get along, so when we hear BTS lumped in
With the rest of kpop, it pisses us off.💜
#BTS is 100% better than PSY..
when I 1st heard of PSY's song
I didn't even know he was a
K-pop singer.. & then #BTS
came along is when I started listening to K-POP SONGS
in 2015..#BTS is #LEGENDS❤
BTS PAVED the way for K-pop!!
j cole. eminem. pharrell , etc....
inspired BTS to sing 💜 ✨️ 😊
If you live in certain countries, you cannot say things which the rulers find compromising. If you work for one of the Big 3 Korean Music Corporations, you also are limited in saying things which may contradict or challenge the company line. Having Rain, Psy or Bang Chan speak their mind in a way that credits BTS is not surprising. To hear similar thoughts from active Big 3 Idol group members might be seen as going against the company line.
DKDKTV TH-cam channel has a video on the history of K-pop
27:00 love bangchan lol
It's not a gender thing though it's about Kpop in general.
Japanese music is amazing, so is India.
why did you seperate the "ladies" from Kpop. That BTS paved the way had nothing to do with their gender. So, No, Blackpink didn't pave the way for anyone. Not for the ladies and not for Kpop.
he never said that black pink paved the way for the ladies, he said he could see how no one made female groups more known. i definitely agree with him bc overseas you’ll mostly see male groups, i rarely see female kpop groups other than black pink that are mentioned or known with non kpop fans. Walking down the street you’ll most likely see bts, stray kids, enha, txt on billboards or things like that but i understand that you mean that they paved the way for all genders.
bts never paved any way for blackpink. bp themselves got globally big as they are the first kpop act to debut #1 itunes global, first kpop song to debut spotify weekly chart in 2017 (aiiyl), highest charting kpop song on hot 100 at the time(aiiyl).
@@beraty.6899 I guess you didn't watch her videos..
@@jimins_missing_height777 i don't watch her videos cuz its bullshit. she accuses bp and yg of some bad things but never backing them up with actual proof. she just talking shit
I'm a ARMY and I agree with Bora but, honestly, i totally agree with you on the Blackpink part..
Because of these stupid fanwars people are getting blind and not seeing the obvious.
BTS paved the way? OBVIOUSLY.
But you can't say that Blackpink aren't doing for the woman's side of things, because they have to face not only the racism, xenophobia but they have to deal with machism too... not seeing that is just fandons bullshit
She just said 3rd generation was what bts was apart of but you were talking so you couldn’t hear
2:42 was actually NCT not BTS
That "put your hand down, this is America" comment confuses me so much. Like, what did she mean? What was she saying? I'm American, we wave in photos too, what was she even on about?
This is a great video for BTS. I love how they talk about the impact BTS has on the entire world. I want everyone to enjoy k-pop in general and BTS was at the forefront to help push it over more in an extreme way that the first 2 generations couldn't do. But don't discount those before BTS because there were some that helped build that road before BTS. Here is another video by Johnathan Miller Music who has many videos on k-pop or any music and he is very informative about the music industry for western and k-pop.
Johathan, also did a video for a more deep dive in the Rise of Stray Kids th-cam.com/video/PY-WJp5z6zc/w-d-xo.html. What I love about this video it isn't just about stray kids. Its also about JYP and he also talks a little about more about k-pop industry and the start before stray kids and how they are helping keep k-pop alive world wide that others have paved before them like G-Dragon, Big Bang, Rain and BTS. They aren't competing against them or BTS but helping in the goal of k-pop to be global around the world.
He also has one on BTS and how they have had a Global impact world wide a more in depth version of BTS the video is 2 years old though its still good. Here is that link: th-cam.com/video/A-VwBYJOEbY/w-d-xo.html
I love Johnathon's videos here is another one about k-pop from 2 years ago: th-cam.com/video/4bmIvqWYMuE/w-d-xo.html
Obviously according to your channel you're just a multi (more stay and VIP than ARMY) , and that Jonathan is anything espacially an opportunist except an expert... You're just inserting your favs who by the way are not keeping anything alive .. BTS were before them and they're still here above them.. So just stop your hypocrisy.
2:36 is not BTS with that artist you mention
Ah that wasn't bts with dababy, and she mentioned bts is part of the 3rd generation..please listen or go back a couple seconds to listen if you pause
Just started watching the video but you asked for a history of kpop video suggestion. On of the best ones is "KPOP HISTORY in 20mins | From SeoTaiji to BTS" by DKDKTV.

I like ur reaction. I hope u will continue content about the boys and music. Tnx u. Sub+like 👌
13:00 I LOOOOVVEEEE Japanese music. Try Yonezu Kenshi. I've loved his music for so long. "Loser" and "Lemon" are good starts. But don't react to them. TH-cam strikes Japanese music all the time.
I’m a huge BTS but I don’t like k pop at all. I like indie Korean artists and hip hop artists but not k pop.
Same
I'm really not sad to say this but c eventually ' nothing gonna happen to kpop artists. Shes right lol. With the biggest fandom ever, music industry is sabotaging BTS so much,by also being shady. How do you think k-pop gonna 'eventually' do anything? Mark my word, except for reactors on yt, nothing extraordinary is coming to kpop groups. Most of them are privileged and still using high payola. Even with that, they still can't surpass BTS. So no. The eventually is never gonna happen. I don't kpop. True. But I'm not bitter about them cuz I am not a music fan myself so I give zero fcks abt them But I'm very much aware of what game is going on in these industries n groups.
I don't like k-pop*! ***
P.s yes in k-pop scene, obviously there are going to be groups who might one day be on top. That's inevitable. Màybe some might achieve a few things in westen industry but that industry is full of racism. Like I said, they r sabotaging BTS happily even with the biggest strongest fandom ever. K-pop groups are not going to achieve anything as BTS' level, let alone surpass them. BTS is way bigger than you are thinking. There are now at the same level as MJ, the Beatles. You're about to learn.
@@acciobutterflyI agree with you 💜
@@acciobutterflycool ur ass down, mj? the beatles? lmao nah
PSY did have huge hits after and before, Americans just don’t like non-American artists.
video titled every artist under HYBE labels. pre view the very first of the video before you start your reaction. there should be a short countdown sequence text should read every artist under HYBE labels in alphabetical order. very first artist should be US country artist Aaron Lewis. if so, you have the right video. you can back the video up to the beginning and start your reaction.
I understand what you mean with girl groups but if anything I think bp is being detrimental 😅 with the drama and controversy
2:40 no not bts that's another group
Help 😂 when they started K-pop in the 19 hundreds! How old are you? 😅
No that wasn’t Bts with that lil baby person
