They really out did themselves at this performance and they barely sat down to catch a breath before having to get up to receive another award. I was exhausted just watching. These guys work so bloody hard💜
❣️Jimin’s solo performance, wearing a modernized hanbok just fastened by ties only, had many different dance elements in it! Including the barrel leaps taken from Korean dance elements, some martial arts elements, (trained for 8 yrs in various forms w/blackbelt in Taekwondo), & of course contemporary dance. Also, equally ever so stunningly outstanding, was Jimin's scarf work, which is alone so hard to master, without getting that ever so thin veil of a scarf all tangled! Jimin somehow was able to make the scarf one with himself, using it as an extension, even at one point when he did that amazing jump leap straight up the scarf becoming his wings!! Jimin's whole performance was so amazingly stunningly beautiful. Just so effortlessly breathtakingly mesmerizing to see!! Though the other members did a version of their solo performances for benefit of the live audiences, for the broadcast version as seen here, viewer see the prerecorded version, that was prerecorded the day before, since especially JK’s performance in water with that heavy tank that weighed a ton wouldn’t be able to maneuver for live audience, as well as some of the other effects seen like for Mikrokosmos, also the part with the horses was obviously prerecorded as a safeguard for the horses. It also gave a chance for BTS come up for air as well as give them time to change. Jimin was the only one who didn’t have the benefit of prerecorded VCR, which meant that for his solo performance by the broadcasted version, viewers saw Jimin perform live only. While the broadcast version showed for rest of members the prerecorded version. But once again the live audience did get an opportunity to see BTS members do a version of their solos.
This IS art and I agree that BTS should never perform at the Grammy's again. Their last performance of 'Butter' brought down the house. The song won many awards & accolades. BTS doesn't need Grammy. They continued in LV to perform to sell-out crowds in four concerts the folliwing week. Grammy was a stopover. They don't get close to the viewership that BTS pulls in. I suspect it irritates them a bit. I never watched before and won't again. American (9th generation), ARMY since 2016. 70 years old. I enjoy your reactions and Cooper's.
The gods in order for BTS are, V as Apollo the God of the sun, Jin as Athena the goddess of Justice, Jimin as Artemis the goddess of the moon/night, Suga as Hephaestus the god of fire, JK as Posideon the god of the seas, J-Hope as Zues the god of thunder, and RM as Dionysus the god wine and festivity. This performance never gets boring. I could watch it a 100 times... 🥰🥰
Jin is clearly Ares God of war that won the war with the Troyan horse. You may be confuse because he did fight the Troyan war in both sides to honour the bravery of them both, so he was a wild an blood thirst god, but fare or friend of justice
I caught myself stunned, frozen to my chair, with my jaw open when I watched BTS perform like this for the first time - and even when watching again. I didn't know these kind of performances existed. Just the music and dancing alone takes so much work and practice, but adding in art, theater, effects, back up dancers, actors, and horses (who must have been very well trained) - so many things could have gone wrong if different folks in front and behind the scenes were not in tune and well-practiced with each other. The coordination and talent on all levels is amazing! I just keep thinking about how BTS runs circles around the music world. They have skills, creativity, and goodness gracious, energy - unlike I've seen in other music!
This Dionysus performance should be deemed the best live music performance in the world!! Seriously, there is not one past or present that can top it!!!!!!!! I've been a fan for around 14 months so far and they never cease to amaze me!
❣️This was from the annual Melon Music Awards, a Korean award show the equivalent to the BBMA’s. BTS swept the awards, thus closed the award show, though many other artists did indeed performed beforehand. The cost of the production for BTS entertainment company BigHit, was over 500K dollars, and all the in-house production team of BigHit started planning it over half a yr beforehand! Also most of the rehearsal time that BTS had was while they were touring worldwide. But they all were quite into doing this, and somehow managed to fit in the rehearsal like they did the yr before. All the solo performances were prerecorded live with smaller audience the day before, with exception to Jimin’s solo performance, who only performed live only, without the benefit of prerecorded VCR, since there was no way to have these stage sets and tank pool of water let alone have JK who was performing the dance in water get dried and change clothes beforehand! BTS did also perform a version of their solos, while the broadcasted version saw the VCR version filmed day before. The only one who performed live only without benefit of VCR being shown,for the broadcasted version, was Jimin, who shows here being the phenomeno breathingly amazing professional dancer which he was before even signing on to BTS. Also certain songs like Mikrokosmos, as well as beginning part of RM’s Persona, was performed live beforehand and also prerecorded so they could also allow for the special effects that only people who saw the broadcast on TV in South Korea or had it stream worldwide could see that version. Also the part with the live horses was filmed beforehand without an audience.
Really, there is no performance artist like BTS in whole global music industry & we fans are all fallen in love with them over & over again & GP are so fascinated by them! 👍👍👍👏👏👏💜💜💜 *** FYI: Non of the audiences had to worry about getting wet by JK’s performance because among all BTS’s solo performances, Jimin’s beautiful, ethereal & artistic performance & RM’s majestic intro performance was the only one that performed real live & rest of the solo performance that you are seeing is all pre-recorded performance footages!😊
These were pre-recorded, yes. But apart from JK.. they performed every bit of it to the last detail. The only difference was they were wearing their Dionysus costume.
I love your reaction as always. You don't overreact for views or for subscribers. I love how you genuinely appreciate their lyrics, artistry, and professionalism. I also love your sarcastic opinion on the scammys too. Yes, BTS should have their own show on the same day when Grammy is held. But they will steal the audience, which the Grammy is aware of. Thanks for recognizing their artistry. They are beyond K-POP.
Because of the live animals and Fire and Water all of the solo performances were pre recorded. Jimin decided he was not satisfied and performed his live
I think what makes them so cool is how they have shown us how REAL they are. So goofy, clumsy, awkward they can be sometimes but then you see them practicing, performing or speaking in suits and you go my goodness they are the coolest guys on the planet!
Dionysius RM is Dionysius, the god of wine he proves it by THRYSUS in his hand. Jin is ARES THE god of war ,he enters with trojan horse. Suga is Hephaestus. GOD of fire. Jhope is ZEUS, GOD of lightning, he performed Light. Jimin is Khonsu, The GOD OF MOON....he danced like moon shining in the dark night sky. V is APOLLO! The God of sun, his performance has çuque de soleil circus of the sun. Jk is POSEIDON..the GOD OF WATER...
Everytime I watch this I also asked the same question like “who else can do this”.. 😂this is making bts differ from other groups..watching 101th time, but still I am getting goosebumps for the last shot🥵
The amount of preparation to integrate that crazy amount of elements, the logistic to orchestrate this show flawlessly is mind-blowing knowing that so many things could go wrong. BTS and their team are unbeatable 💥
I always wanted this reaction... And even me I think exactly the same, what you have said regarding the Grammy... We can't let them use our 7 Kings for their own benefits hehe... Nowadays many people/western artists in order to gain more fame they tryna be good with them 😄 or even if it's just for a picture... Earlier I never used to watch and even don't know the existence of Grammy/fashion week/billboard/U.N/NBA but now because of BTS I'm getting to know more😄
The part in the break at 30:00 where you said you got emotional, included the music for a Christmas hymn, and then had JK being all introspective about who he is. It really makes the audience think about themselves as well, and who each of them is, as well as thinking about each member of BTS. This precedes the individual artists’ show of unique talent in the performance. Each one altogether makes the group so strong! I love this entire performance and I have watched it so many times. They are absolutely amazing!
Some behind the scenes explanations you may already know! First, the dance practices and behind the scenes Bangtan Bombs are insane and a must watch to really see their details. And CHILLS because at the end of that HUGE performance of Dionysus, dropping sweat, still exhausted but standing strong, they accepted Artist of the Year which earned them the first All Kill EVER by wining 4/4 of the major categories for MMA 😭😭😭 The MMA's were legit a BTS concert. The views of the ARMY bombs...Boy In Luv was epic because it's one of those songs that they were denied on a big stage. They even dyed JK's hair the same as it was for Boy in Luv in 2014 at the last minute as a surprise!! The end of Persona, Boy In Luv, Jimin's solo, and Dionysus were filmed live and: Mikrokosmos (how their clothes suddenly change), Joon/Tae/Jin/JK/Suga/Hobi's solos were pre recorded and played between stages. Which the fan chants are amazing while just watching the screens in between!! Mikrokosmos is absolutely about the lights of the city! Joon said when driving one night he was seeing all the lights of people working, or within buildings. And wondering what place they have in the universe and how those lights make a galaxy of their own. Then they applied it to ARMY. They refer to us as stars and our universe/galaxy together. 💜💜💜💜 The scene where they are at the couches and fall asleep is a throwback to their HYHH era with all the Bangtan Universe lore. Like they are still themselves but pondering who they are also now. But yeah. They're out of this world. You'll never see a performance like this on an award show ever.
ahh watching Hobi's solo ughhh there are fancams showing it and it looks 10x better!! the broadcast didn't do it justice even if it looks incredible anyway! but there was something abt the lighting. It looks clearer in fancams, the contrast between dark and the lights, it was even more sickening!
Thank you so much. I loved rewatching this show with you, and especially loved how open you are with your amazement. Although I try to be selective since several reactors that I have seen definitely have seemed fake or uninterested (uninterested is OK, but fake ...no), but I do watch a number of reactors discovering BTS. Where they show respect I enjoy their journey. I know you know a lot about BTS and have been exploring them for a long time now, and yet I confess I'm surprised you have not seen this before. It is an iconic performance. Your reaction did BTS justice I particularly love how you repeatedly emphasise that this is art. It is, of course. And of course it's the result of a massive production team working at their peak, every one of which team needs to be appreciated in full. I am always a bit peeved with some studio producers who opt for crazy camera zooms/angles which mean you lose detail from dance choreo. This was OK, but I did feel there were moments when the director cut away from the dance teams a bit too early. But there may have been good reasons - there was a lot to see! I've seen a LOT of "high art", including live opera and ballet, sometimes sumptuous performances, including Ballet Russe. People think those performances are posh, or hard to understand - but they're not - you just need to experience them with an open mind. And sadly, those who prize that kind of art might dismiss this, because it's labelled Popular. How MUVH are they missing! This performance by BTS is not only "art", it is one of the best (perhaps the best), most comprehensive and all-embracing performance of any kind that I have ever seen. Yes, perhaps you might need to do some research to fully understand all the subtexts, word-play and references - but good grief, it's worth it - just as much as it is worth looking into the language of Shakespeare in order to get the jokes (and to learn that the guy is riotously, gloriously, supremely rude). The art of BTS deserves the same level of respect. I find it even more striking that ALL of this complex, subtle and sometimes overwhelming artistry is rooted in the writing of BTS members themselves. Even at this young age (JK was, I think, still 19) these little boys from Korea were doing ... yep, this. Like you, I think about non-fans and I just think: OK, how?
Thank you taking your time to comment and watch, I love comments like this 💜 I definitely need more education on some of things being talked about, the best part of BTS is I can still enjoy it without knowing the full context. The better part is, they show me these things, making me want to learn more about what they are talking about.
I was take a glass of wine while watching at your reaction (so french way of doing thing i guess 🤣🤣🤣) so i'm a little drunk (shhhhh 🤫). For the history : the first thing i've watch about BTS, when i'm became curious about the group, was a clip of Jimin's part of this MMA 2019. I love ice skating, and one of my favorite skater was Yuzuru Hanyu who is one of the most fabulous and talented athlete i've see in this sport : powerfull, gracefull and perfection (now, it's remind me someone 😅). In an interview, he named Jimin as one of his influence so i search for video of Jimin's dance... And i felt for him watching this dance for this show. I love this remixe of "I Need You" and i search for a version of this song which sound the same, so, watching acoustic version of the song i watched many live of the band and i felt for all of them. I agree with you : the band is amazing in live version. This performance of "I need You" will be always dear to me, i always became emotional when i watch it 💜
some things that may help (or not if they have already been mentioned), for dionysus intro, each member represents a greek god or goddess tae - apollo jimin - artemis hobi - zeus jk - poseidon suga - hephaestus rm -dionysus and jin - either ares or athena, however this is just my guess vut i personally think he is represending athena for 2 reasons: 1) ares is the god of brute war, while athena is strategic war... i see bts choosing strategy over hear of the moment 2) their pairs during the remix at the end - they all have a relationship. jk and hobi are paired constantly moving up and down and shadowing each other, poseidon and zeus fought for who be ruler of the gods. jimin and tae are paired and they represent the twin gods apollo and artemis. when it comes to the other three what they mostly have in common is they are born unconventionally - dionysus was born when zues grew him from his leg after hera killed his mother - a foreign woman (which is often why dionysus is also considered a foreign god or a god that didnt belong but no one could ignore without trouble), hephaestus was born from heras mind after she got jealous that zues gave birth to athena from his mind... ares, however was a god born between hera and zeus... so it doesnt match the theme to theit group(?) thats my guess anyways. oh and the constellation was corona borealis - the crown of dionysus' wife ariadne. the horse, bee keepers, the maenads, the (blow up) panthers, the thyrsus are all symbols of dionysus- along with themes of drinking and art/music... snakes which they show at a different award ceremony. hope that helps some. im not an expert on greek mythology but i have learnt a bit over the yrs 🙂. but im sure other ppl can say more.
I was watching the chat and didn't notice if anyone said... but from what I understand, BTS planned to go do their military service in 2020 before the pandemic hit and that was one of the reasons MMA allowed them to do, and why BTS did, this long epic performance because they were planning on going on their military service hiatus and work on solo projects back then. So they wanted to leave ARMY with this amazing epic goodbye essentially and go on hiatus with a BANG. And boy did they freaking deliver. I never get tired of watching this and your genuine reaction and love of the guys, and what they do. 💜
In their FESTA 2022 they said during BE album its supposed to be their breaktime but its pandemic so they started producing English songs which are all Hit, so they postponed their plans....
now i wish they could go back then so we would have them back now!! would have been all finished and we can just move on and get bts back together making music as BTS! i miss them so much.
I think you may have this wrong because when pandemic hitted, they said they had so many proyects for that year and cool performances all along a huge world tour, many we had already tickets and pre-ticket membership. But I may be wrong. I believe unlike Grammy, MMA are not stupid and when Big Hit presented the proyect they just went "of course, how can we help" BTS performances at MMA and MAMAs made both award shows well known all over the world and gained so much western audience after they start performing. That's the opportunity Grammys needed it to survive and gain some respect back, but Grammys thought "Yes, welcome BTS we will squeeze all your popularity in our favor and give you nothing back, we will use you well" They chose pride and racism over survival and glory
Completamente de acuerdo, los Grammy no se merecen a estos increíbles artistas. El ego de esos premios hace muy mal juego con la humildad de artistas de este nivel.
I Love RM. by the time they get to Boy with love they have basically ran a marathon and yet their vocals remain hella stable . as a old dancer , that's freakin' impossible. Amazing, name your positive adjective.
I can finish the reaction. Thanks for this pure approach to this hardworking talanted boys. You are me)) I knew BTS thanks to Suga. That's why his place is different however I love and respect all of them. Furthermore you said when you see Tae he reminds your son 😍 also thank you for your heart how You see people as your beloved one
It was so nice, that BTS allowed them to make the Award Show at their concert 😉 I watched this uncountable times now and it never gets boring, I love it so much 💜💜💜
I love love this performance. The western music and show production people should put their eyes on this show and other korean/asian shows like Kingdom for exemple. And see for themselves the quality in action. And it's only an award show.... 😁💜
Rapper jungkook is ICONIC!!! Did you see vocal line performing “daengg?” They killed it!!! Especially jungkook!!! The live performance “attack on bangtan” from the epilogue is insane and super energetic and just such a dynamic performance from all of them and it’s their baby BTS energy that hits different !! Def check it out if you haven’t !!!
Iv seen this performance so many times and it blew my socks off that it was just an awards ceremony x could have been a mini concert x loved this performance x thankyou for your reaction x
side note: not sure if you can tell but that bgm part of N.O. never stops while Dionysus is ending as a headbanger!!! another detail ofc, cause their artistry has no limits. I'm sorry I'm too high in pride rn it'll take a couple hours to come down lmao
@@DestructiveMediaYT it took me a couple times watching the performance to notice it hehe but once you hear it you can't un-hear it! it's the same loop that starts before the N.O. dubstep dance break in the middle!
Bryan pointing at his arm:' I'm getting chills this is amazing'.. me every single time I watch this performance too!!! :< it was overk!ll in the best possible way, insane
Agee so much the Grammys and so much other western media has shown and behind the scenes folks have talked about the racism etc. BTS also used this MMA show as a way to show the biased Korean media/music industry that they stand above for art and music and can give a performance so complex and nuanced with symbolism and talent no one else can sit at the table with them. They literally said we are gods drunk on art above you all. We can spend millions of dollars smd months creating this for an awards show we make no money on because we like making art/performing. But god. Damn. Mic drop start to finish. Western award shows could never.
I lost count how many mfking times I watched that 2019 MMA Dionysus performance I get chills every single time i watch it again......... soooo sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
aaaand we watched that sht live as it was happening in Koreaaa!!! and for freeeee :| it was on yt aww :(((((((( I wanna cry making me sad we don't deserve Bangtan
This is one of my favorite BTS stages but gosh when I saw the fancam of this when the lights turned off... they can't even stand up from that chair and can barely walk to the backstage. Then couple of minutes after they went on the stage back and forth giving speech and claiming their awards. They really work soooooo hard during this performance.
I'm sure you can now understand how hard it was for many of us to not recommend this performance! I knew you'd love it anyway even if you didn't know all the songs they used: all theirs but many of them remixed as you noticed! but it feels especially moving to watch it when we know every song what they're saying and can appreciate their remixes even more! it's been 3 years and i still get so hyped up overexcited to watch it again. They're a smack in the face to the lack of talent! like.. I'd retire if I even dared to try to come even near them as a performer, I'm sorry I'm not sorry! nobody does it like them :
If you want to enjoy the charisma and energy of this Dionysos performance, I recommend you to look for Jimin's fancam. Jimin's stage genius is so cool, sexy, and beautiful that you can't close your mouth. Jimin's performance at this Dionysos concert was not even 20% exposed, so I was so upset watching the broadcast that I wanted to cry, but I'm always thankful that there are people who film Jimin's fan cam. Without a lie, Jimin's Dionysos performance at this award ceremony is a legend. 🙏😭 Jimin's passionate stage charisma is amazing as if it's beyond this world. 😱
Commenting as I watch,.. thx for loving our phenomenal BTS Rap Line! Thx for loving our incomparable BTS Vocal Line! Umm yeah,…about their suits/pants… during Love Yourself Speak Yourself World Tour, Jungkook shared to his ARMY present that his pants ripped during their last song…Mic Drop.. his hyungs were trying to shush him,.. but he said what? we’re family! Of course, ARMY roared their luv & approval! ☺️😬 I love hearing ARMY chants during Award shows! Yep, this performance of Dionysus was especially phenomenal! KINGS Indeed! Yaaah!🫰🏼💜🥰 Thx Bryan!
TXT. The group fascinated by the leopard is Day6 I believe. I watch this at least once or twice a month, sometimes more. I really like your reactions. The first time I saw this my mouth dropped open. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Here in this country I’ve not seen any talent unless you call twerking an art or talent. On the other hand not all performances are like BTS’s. They are truly an anomaly. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Aren't you cool, dear Bryan?? Why do you think you have so many people watching you? Oh my! Don't say that again, ok? 😳 I remember when I watched this video for the first time... I got mesmerized with their talent, the grandeur of the performance (all began with the extremely high screens, the huge stage), I couldn't stop thinking "they did it to show to everybody how great are them now" 👏 👏 👏 When they prepare a performance,they want it'll be THE performance for Army. Asia has a lot to teach to the Western in this area!
Still amazing to watch even though I've seen it my gosh so many times. They are a class act. Some performances on the grammys have been so not classy, even the song that have won was .
16:30 I think you were confused, the first song really had no problems, Boy in luv is a classic in the BTS discography and it is a very dear song for the fandom, Namjoon didn't change anything (and he doesn't have to, the song is very innocent and funny) that's why they continued singing it even in 2020 despite being a 2014 song. The song that got attacked (mainly by kpopies and antis) was War of Hormone, apparently some people couldn't bear to see teenagers talking about their hormones or popping their pimples lol. There are many things I would like to say about this, but the main thing is the infantilization of the boys as Asians, people are hypocrites because they attacked them for singing a song that is not sexu%l or explicit while artists like Drake, Doja, Nicki, Cardi, Bruno Mars among many western artists have explicit songs where they can freely express their sexu%lity with heavy language, but god forgive some asian artists talking about popping their pimples and making a satirical song that shows how many teenagers act at that age 😂
They really out did themselves at this performance and they barely sat down to catch a breath before having to get up to receive another award. I was exhausted just watching. These guys work so bloody hard💜
BTS MMA 2019 EPIC 7 KINGS Deserving Of Our Respect
The ultimate flex of 7 kings taking over an award show!
❣️Jimin’s solo performance, wearing a modernized hanbok just fastened by ties only, had many different dance elements in it!

Their creative team should get lots of credit for this award performance .
BTS delivered each time .. never fail the company, army and themselves.
This IS art and I agree that BTS should never perform at the Grammy's again. Their last performance of 'Butter' brought down the house. The song won many awards & accolades. BTS doesn't need Grammy. They continued in LV to perform to sell-out crowds in four concerts the folliwing week. Grammy was a stopover. They don't get close to the viewership that BTS pulls in.

Jin is clearly Ares God of war that won the war with the Troyan horse.
You may be confuse because he did fight the Troyan war in both sides to honour the bravery of them both, so he was a wild an blood thirst god, but fare or friend of justice
"we'll watch anything BTS's in, let's not give Grammy the views" XDD so true!!!
😂
BTS RM has the power stage presence, as Suga said RM can rule the world.....best and genius leader indeed.
then again, this is an AWARD SHOW. LOL theses boys are clear KINGS
I caught myself stunned, frozen to my chair, with my jaw open when I watched BTS perform like this for the first time - and even when watching again. I didn't know these kind of performances existed. Just the music and dancing alone takes so much work and practice, but adding in art, theater, effects, back up dancers, actors, and horses (who must have been very well trained) - so many things could have gone wrong if different folks in front and behind the scenes were not in tune and well-practiced with each other. The coordination and talent on all levels is amazing! I just keep thinking about how BTS runs circles around the music world. They have skills, creativity, and goodness gracious, energy - unlike I've seen in other music!
BTS showing everyone how live performances should be done! Kings 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜!
They worked so hard for this proformance as a whole. It's been years but I'm still so proud of them
Hahahaha you are such a geek! I love it. Buckling yourself up to watch the final song was just hilarious. Loved the reaction video.
This Dionysus performance should be deemed the best live music performance in the world!! Seriously, there is not one past or present that can top it!!!!!!!!
I've been a fan for around 14 months so far and they never cease to amaze me!
*artist
You are absolutely right. I am ARMY SINCE 9/10/2018 and they have never stopped amazing me.

I knew if I read the comments I would get the answer I was looking for. I thought Mikrokosmos was pre recorded, but I couldn't remember. :)
Absolutely Epic Performance!!!!!!!!!
I always in love whenever i find mma 2019 reaction 💜
Really, there is no performance artist like BTS in whole global music industry & we fans are all fallen in love with them over & over again & GP are so fascinated by them! 👍👍👍👏👏👏💜💜💜
*** FYI: Non of the audiences had to worry about getting wet by JK’s performance because among all BTS’s solo performances, Jimin’s beautiful, ethereal & artistic performance & RM’s majestic intro performance was the only one that performed real live & rest of the solo performance that you are seeing is all pre-recorded performance footages!😊
These were pre-recorded, yes. But apart from JK.. they performed every bit of it to the last detail. The only difference was they were wearing their Dionysus costume.
There are fancams.. if you want to see.. just search for bts 2019 mma fancams.
The gods and the kings, ladies and gentlemen. There can be no other BTS! We are indeed lucky to have lived during their time! 💜🤩👏🏻🫶🏻⭐️
I love your reaction as always. You don't overreact for views or for subscribers.
I love how you genuinely appreciate their lyrics, artistry, and professionalism.
I also love your sarcastic opinion on the scammys too.
Yes, BTS should have their own show on the same day when Grammy is held.
But they will steal the audience, which the Grammy is aware of.
Thanks for recognizing their artistry.
They are beyond K-POP.
I appreciate your kind words!
Because of the live animals and Fire and Water all of the solo performances were pre recorded. Jimin decided he was not satisfied and performed his live
I think what makes them so cool is how they have shown us how REAL they are. So goofy, clumsy, awkward they can be sometimes but then you see them practicing, performing or speaking in suits and you go my goodness they are the coolest guys on the planet!
Dionysius RM is Dionysius, the god of wine he proves it by THRYSUS in his hand.
Jin is ARES THE god of war ,he enters with trojan horse.
Suga is Hephaestus. GOD of fire.
Jhope is ZEUS, GOD of lightning, he performed Light.
Jimin is Khonsu, The GOD OF MOON....he danced like moon shining in the dark night sky.
V is APOLLO! The God of sun, his performance has çuque de soleil circus of the sun.
Jk is POSEIDON..the GOD OF WATER...
This performance is masterpiece 👍
South Korean award shows make awards shows everywhere else look like a little talent show. Add BTS to the mix and well "it's massive!"
"Yeah.." XD
Bruh u got to put RESPECT ON THEIR NAAAAMAH!💋❤️💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Everytime I watch this I also asked the same question like “who else can do this”.. 😂this is making bts differ from other groups..watching 101th time, but still I am getting goosebumps for the last shot🥵
The amount of preparation to integrate that crazy amount of elements, the logistic to orchestrate this show flawlessly is mind-blowing knowing that so many things could go wrong. BTS and their team are unbeatable 💥
I always wanted this reaction... And even me I think exactly the same, what you have said regarding the Grammy... We can't let them use our 7 Kings for their own benefits hehe... Nowadays many people/western artists in order to gain more fame they tryna be good with them 😄 or even if it's just for a picture... Earlier I never used to watch and even don't know the existence of Grammy/fashion week/billboard/U.N/NBA but now because of BTS I'm getting to know more😄
The part in the break at 30:00 where you said you got emotional, included the music for a Christmas hymn, and then had JK being all introspective about who he is. It really makes the audience think about themselves as well, and who each of them is, as well as thinking about each member of BTS. This precedes the individual artists’ show of unique talent in the performance. Each one altogether makes the group so strong!
I love this entire performance and I have watched it so many times. They are absolutely amazing!
Some behind the scenes explanations you may already know! First, the dance practices and behind the scenes Bangtan Bombs are insane and a must watch to really see their details. And CHILLS because at the end of that HUGE performance of Dionysus, dropping sweat, still exhausted but standing strong, they accepted Artist of the Year which earned them the first All Kill EVER by wining 4/4 of the major categories for MMA 😭😭😭
The MMA's were legit a BTS concert. The views of the ARMY bombs...Boy In Luv was epic because it's one of those songs that they were denied on a big stage. They even dyed JK's hair the same as it was for Boy in Luv in 2014 at the last minute as a surprise!!
The end of Persona, Boy In Luv, Jimin's solo, and Dionysus were filmed live and: Mikrokosmos (how their clothes suddenly change), Joon/Tae/Jin/JK/Suga/Hobi's solos were pre recorded and played between stages. Which the fan chants are amazing while just watching the screens in between!!
Mikrokosmos is absolutely about the lights of the city! Joon said when driving one night he was seeing all the lights of people working, or within buildings. And wondering what place they have in the universe and how those lights make a galaxy of their own. Then they applied it to ARMY. They refer to us as stars and our universe/galaxy together. 💜💜💜💜
The scene where they are at the couches and fall asleep is a throwback to their HYHH era with all the Bangtan Universe lore. Like they are still themselves but pondering who they are also now.
But yeah. They're out of this world. You'll never see a performance like this on an award show ever.
Definitely want to see the behind the scenes! The dance practices are amazing, too - especially Jimin's and Dionysius.
ahh watching Hobi's solo ughhh there are fancams showing it and it looks 10x better!! the broadcast didn't do it justice even if it looks incredible anyway! but there was something abt the lighting. It looks clearer in fancams, the contrast between dark and the lights, it was even more sickening!
Just another man in love with Park Jimin ♥
The Scammys could never afford BTS budget for a performance like this! 🤔🤑🤩👏🏽🕺🎶🎤👑🥇🌎💜💞✌🏽🙏🏽♾️
Riverdance!! Yes! My childhood too :)
THE BEST!!! Everytime still feels like the first time. I wiiish i could be in that audience, like how did they survive that
Thank you so much. I loved rewatching this show with you, and especially loved how open you are with your amazement.
Although I try to be selective since several reactors that I have seen definitely have seemed fake or uninterested (uninterested is OK, but fake ...no), but I do watch a number of reactors discovering BTS. Where they show respect I enjoy their journey. I know you know a lot about BTS and have been exploring them for a long time now, and yet I confess I'm surprised you have not seen this before. It is an iconic performance. Your reaction did BTS justice
I particularly love how you repeatedly emphasise that this is art. It is, of course. And of course it's the result of a massive production team working at their peak, every one of which team needs to be appreciated in full. I am always a bit peeved with some studio producers who opt for crazy camera zooms/angles which mean you lose detail from dance choreo. This was OK, but I did feel there were moments when the director cut away from the dance teams a bit too early. But there may have been good reasons - there was a lot to see!
I've seen a LOT of "high art", including live opera and ballet, sometimes sumptuous performances, including Ballet Russe. People think those performances are posh, or hard to understand - but they're not - you just need to experience them with an open mind. And sadly, those who prize that kind of art might dismiss this, because it's labelled Popular. How MUVH are they missing!
This performance by BTS is not only "art", it is one of the best (perhaps the best), most comprehensive and all-embracing performance of any kind that I have ever seen. Yes, perhaps you might need to do some research to fully understand all the subtexts, word-play and references - but good grief, it's worth it - just as much as it is worth looking into the language of Shakespeare in order to get the jokes (and to learn that the guy is riotously, gloriously, supremely rude). The art of BTS deserves the same level of respect.
I find it even more striking that ALL of this complex, subtle and sometimes overwhelming artistry is rooted in the writing of BTS members themselves. Even at this young age (JK was, I think, still 19) these little boys from Korea were doing ... yep, this.
Like you, I think about non-fans and I just think: OK, how?
Thank you taking your time to comment and watch, I love comments like this 💜
I definitely need more education on some of things being talked about, the best part of BTS is I can still enjoy it without knowing the full context. The better part is, they show me these things, making me want to learn more about what they are talking about.
I was take a glass of wine while watching at your reaction (so french way of doing thing i guess 🤣🤣🤣) so i'm a little drunk (shhhhh 🤫).
For the history : the first thing i've watch about BTS, when i'm became curious about the group, was a clip of Jimin's part of this MMA 2019. I love ice skating, and one of my favorite skater was Yuzuru Hanyu who is one of the most fabulous and talented athlete i've see in this sport : powerfull, gracefull and perfection (now, it's remind me someone 😅). In an interview, he named Jimin as one of his influence so i search for video of Jimin's dance... And i felt for him watching this dance for this show. I love this remixe of "I Need You" and i search for a version of this song which sound the same, so, watching acoustic version of the song i watched many live of the band and i felt for all of them. I agree with you : the band is amazing in live version.
This performance of "I need You" will be always dear to me, i always became emotional when i watch it 💜
29:50 are you feeling like a proud dad to them? Cause that's how I felt! I'm like a proud mom seeing this 😭
Yes I was!
some things that may help (or not if they have already been mentioned), for dionysus intro, each member represents a greek god or goddess
tae - apollo
jimin - artemis
hobi - zeus
jk - poseidon
suga - hephaestus
rm -dionysus
and jin - either ares or athena, however this is just my guess vut i personally think he is represending athena for 2 reasons:
1) ares is the god of brute war, while athena is strategic war... i see bts choosing strategy over hear of the moment
2) their pairs during the remix at the end - they all have a relationship. jk and hobi are paired constantly moving up and down and shadowing each other, poseidon and zeus fought for who be ruler of the gods. jimin and tae are paired and they represent the twin gods apollo and artemis. when it comes to the other three what they mostly have in common is they are born unconventionally - dionysus was born when zues grew him from his leg after hera killed his mother - a foreign woman (which is often why dionysus is also considered a foreign god or a god that didnt belong but no one could ignore without trouble), hephaestus was born from heras mind after she got jealous that zues gave birth to athena from his mind... ares, however was a god born between hera and zeus... so it doesnt match the theme to theit group(?)
thats my guess anyways.
oh and the constellation was corona borealis - the crown of dionysus' wife ariadne.
the horse, bee keepers, the maenads, the (blow up) panthers, the thyrsus are all symbols of dionysus- along with themes of drinking and art/music... snakes which they show at a different award ceremony.
hope that helps some. im not an expert on greek mythology but i have learnt a bit over the yrs 🙂. but im sure other ppl can say more.
I was watching the chat and didn't notice if anyone said... but from what I understand, BTS planned to go do their military service in 2020 before the pandemic hit and that was one of the reasons MMA allowed them to do, and why BTS did, this long epic performance because they were planning on going on their military service hiatus and work on solo projects back then. So they wanted to leave ARMY with this amazing epic goodbye essentially and go on hiatus with a BANG. And boy did they freaking deliver. I never get tired of watching this and your genuine reaction and love of the guys, and what they do. 💜
In their FESTA 2022 they said during BE album its supposed to be their breaktime but its pandemic so they started producing English songs which are all Hit, so they postponed their plans....
now i wish they could go back then so we would have them back now!! would have been all finished and we can just move on and get bts back together making music as BTS! i miss them so much.
I think you may have this wrong because when pandemic hitted, they said they had so many proyects for that year and cool performances all along a huge world tour, many we had already tickets and pre-ticket membership.
But I may be wrong.
I believe unlike Grammy, MMA are not stupid and when Big Hit presented the proyect they just went "of course, how can we help" BTS performances at MMA and MAMAs made both award shows well known all over the world and gained so much western audience after they start performing. That's the opportunity Grammys needed it to survive and gain some respect back, but Grammys thought "Yes, welcome BTS we will squeeze all your popularity in our favor and give you nothing back, we will use you well"
They chose pride and racism over survival and glory
Completamente de acuerdo, los Grammy no se merecen a estos increíbles artistas.
El ego de esos premios hace muy mal juego con la humildad de artistas de este nivel.
I Love RM. by the time they get to Boy with love they have basically ran a marathon and yet their vocals remain hella stable . as a old dancer , that's freakin' impossible. Amazing, name your positive adjective.
I love Hobi too. 🥰💜💜
I remember when I saw this for the first time I was like, wait…are those….horses?!?!?!?!
This is the best one ,but you should watch all from 2016 to 2021
ahhh that was an epic show, 10 years into their career and they still suprise us every time
This is my favorite MMA performance.
Thanks for the reaction.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜👀
I can finish the reaction. Thanks for this pure approach to this hardworking talanted boys. You are me)) I knew BTS thanks to Suga. That's why his place is different however I love and respect all of them. Furthermore you said when you see Tae he reminds your son 😍 also thank you for your heart how You see people as your beloved one
I always exhausted just watching this performance 😅
Thank you Sir..........We got you.
This is amazing! Jimin’s solo was out of this world and he was the only one who did his solo stage live as well. They were all so good 💜🔥😍🤩
This one is worth watching several times
Agreed! Thank you for watching! 💜
Jimin = Perfect Art in Motion. Amazing!!💙💜
I love Hobi too - he's my bias. There's a V focus of Boy With Luv. You may want to check it out. He has fun with the song.
It was so nice, that BTS allowed them to make the Award Show at their concert 😉
I watched this uncountable times now and it never gets boring, I love it so much 💜💜💜
🤣🤣
1:00:25 Jimin se sentó en el aire, porque el personal no pudo alcanzarle la silla.😅
Ya después se vio al personal trayendo la silla para él(Jimin).
I love love this performance. The western music and show production people should put their eyes on this show and other korean/asian shows like Kingdom for exemple. And see for themselves the quality in action. And it's only an award show.... 😁💜
Rapper jungkook is ICONIC!!! Did you see vocal line performing “daengg?” They killed it!!! Especially jungkook!!! The live performance “attack on bangtan” from the epilogue is insane and super energetic and just such a dynamic performance from all of them and it’s their baby BTS energy that hits different !! Def check it out if you haven’t !!!
Yesssss! KINGS !!!! ALL SEVEN!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I watch this performance over 25 times and still love it
Iv seen this performance so many times and it blew my socks off that it was just an awards ceremony x could have been a mini concert x loved this performance x thankyou for your reaction x
Such an epic and legendary performance!! 🔥🙌 I never get tired of watching this!! Our boys were just amazing!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Hi all! My hundred and eleventeenth time watching. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 APOBANGPO
When I think this was supposed to be a goodbye for now performance for the industry 🔥🔥
You say it's the most incredible performance you've ever seen, and for me your reactions to BTS are the most incredible I've ever seen!! 😊💜
Thank you!
The world must see this,every people on earth!!!
Thanks, Bryan, for showing this on TH-cam. It's quite the big deal, huh. I'm still not over it. Enjoyed watching your reaction.
ellos son unicos me gusta tu reacciones de BTS
Thank you for reacting for this, my day is complete😊💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for watching!
side note: not sure if you can tell but that bgm part of N.O. never stops while Dionysus is ending as a headbanger!!! another detail ofc, cause their artistry has no limits. I'm sorry I'm too high in pride rn it'll take a couple hours to come down lmao
Well I gotta go back and watch it now to catch that!
@@DestructiveMediaYT it took me a couple times watching the performance to notice it hehe but once you hear it you can't un-hear it! it's the same loop that starts before the N.O. dubstep dance break in the middle!
Park Jimin Best dancer of Kpop👑⭐♥️
Bryan pointing at his arm:' I'm getting chills this is amazing'.. me every single time I watch this performance too!!! :< it was overk!ll in the best possible way, insane
Our 7 Kings 👑 💜💜
Best performance of BTS so far at an award show
Lo mejor de lo mejor ,BTS👌👏👏👏💜💜💜💜🇨🇱🇨🇱
Agee so much the Grammys and so much other western media has shown and behind the scenes folks have talked about the racism etc. BTS also used this MMA show as a way to show the biased Korean media/music industry that they stand above for art and music and can give a performance so complex and nuanced with symbolism and talent no one else can sit at the table with them. They literally said we are gods drunk on art above you all. We can spend millions of dollars smd months creating this for an awards show we make no money on because we like making art/performing. But god. Damn. Mic drop start to finish. Western award shows could never.
I lost count how many mfking times I watched that 2019 MMA Dionysus performance I get chills every single time i watch it again......... soooo sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
aaaand we watched that sht live as it was happening in Koreaaa!!! and for freeeee :| it was on yt aww :(((((((( I wanna cry making me sad we don't deserve Bangtan
Jiminnnnnn wouaaaaaaaaa ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤spectacular ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is one of my favorite BTS stages but gosh when I saw the fancam of this when the lights turned off... they can't even stand up from that chair and can barely walk to the backstage. Then couple of minutes after they went on the stage back and forth giving speech and claiming their awards. They really work soooooo hard during this performance.
I truly love your videos and going along on your journey with you. Thank you for all you do.💜
Thank you for watching!
Bts best 👍💜💜💜💜💜💜💜vmin miss you 👬💜💜
I'm so surprised you haven't seen this performance yet! Let's Go!
Love your reaction, thaaanks!
Actually some Army did create a BTS Award show just for them….I think you can find it on YT….btw….they won every award….lol…💜
I'm sure you can now understand how hard it was for many of us to not recommend this performance! I knew you'd love it anyway even if you didn't know all the songs they used: all theirs but many of them remixed as you noticed! but it feels especially moving to watch it when we know every song what they're saying and can appreciate their remixes even more! it's been 3 years and i still get so hyped up overexcited to watch it again. They're a smack in the face to the lack of talent! like.. I'd retire if I even dared to try to come even near them as a performer, I'm sorry I'm not sorry! nobody does it like them :
Thank you so much for your reaction and you're cool! Take care n God bless you 💜💜💜
I watched this performance many times but still i feel the same as my first time this is just incredible 💜
If you want to enjoy the charisma and energy of this Dionysos performance, I recommend you to look for Jimin's fancam. Jimin's stage genius is so cool, sexy, and beautiful that you can't close your mouth. Jimin's performance at this Dionysos concert was not even 20% exposed, so I was so upset watching the broadcast that I wanted to cry, but I'm always thankful that there are people who film Jimin's fan cam. Without a lie, Jimin's Dionysos performance at this award ceremony is a legend. 🙏😭 Jimin's passionate stage charisma is amazing as if it's beyond this world. 😱
the most amazing performance ever. A challenge and role model to every artist and award show to have creativity
Oscar performance 👏💜💜💜💜
Commenting as I watch,..
thx for loving our phenomenal BTS Rap Line!
Thx for loving our incomparable BTS Vocal Line!
Umm yeah,…about their suits/pants… during Love Yourself Speak Yourself World Tour, Jungkook shared to his ARMY present that his pants ripped during their last song…Mic Drop.. his hyungs were trying to shush him,.. but he said what? we’re family! Of course, ARMY roared their luv & approval! ☺️😬
I love hearing ARMY chants during Award shows!
Yep, this performance of Dionysus was especially phenomenal! KINGS Indeed! Yaaah!🫰🏼💜🥰
Thx Bryan!
TXT. The group fascinated by the leopard is Day6 I believe. I watch this at least once or twice a month, sometimes more. I really like your reactions. The first time I saw this my mouth dropped open. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Here in this country I’ve not seen any talent unless you call twerking an art or talent. On the other hand not all performances are like BTS’s. They are truly an anomaly. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Aren't you cool, dear Bryan?? Why do you think you have so many people watching you? Oh my! Don't say that again, ok? 😳
I remember when I watched this video for the first time... I got mesmerized with their talent, the grandeur of the performance (all began with the extremely high screens, the huge stage), I couldn't stop thinking "they did it to show to everybody how great are them now" 👏 👏 👏
When they prepare a performance,they want it'll be THE performance for Army.
Asia has a lot to teach to the Western in this area!
I watched this performance a Hundred times and yes i am going to watch it again 😍 it's just a piece of art💜💜
Still amazing to watch even though I've seen it my gosh so many times. They are a class act. Some performances on the grammys have been so not classy, even the song that have won was .
16:30 I think you were confused, the first song really had no problems, Boy in luv is a classic in the BTS discography and it is a very dear song for the fandom, Namjoon didn't change anything (and he doesn't have to, the song is very innocent and funny) that's why they continued singing it even in 2020 despite being a 2014 song. The song that got attacked (mainly by kpopies and antis) was War of Hormone, apparently some people couldn't bear to see teenagers talking about their hormones or popping their pimples lol. There are many things I would like to say about this, but the main thing is the infantilization of the boys as Asians, people are hypocrites because they attacked them for singing a song that is not sexu%l or explicit while artists like Drake, Doja, Nicki, Cardi, Bruno Mars among many western artists have explicit songs where they can freely express their sexu%lity with heavy language, but god forgive some asian artists talking about popping their pimples and making a satirical song that shows how many teenagers act at that age 😂
Ah yes I was mistaken, thank you for correcting me!
EPIC!!!
watching Joon strutting like he owns the mfking place brings me immediately to him saying: 'I will prove it to you all'.. oh yes he did!!!!! :
