Bts were kind of like the underdogs of the industry for a long time. worked extremely hard to their way to the top especially not being apart from the big 3 most successful companies in Korea which are: SM, YG and JYP. I think that people are connected to them more than just music itself and of course, their talent.. it has to do a lot with their personality and journey as a group. Started from the bottom and now they’re just conquering the world.
sometimes it's quality over quantity but with them i feel like they have both. They're so hard working, it's insane how many b-sides they have and it's never a miss to me. I also love how they experiment with all kinds of genres, they are still musically growing and improving and i admire them for that
Outside of being incredibly talented, they are also well know from a lyrical standpoint as you get deeper into their dischoreography. They speak about topics outside the norm of what kpop was known for. They talk about social, youth, political, mental issues etc. They overcame a lot of adversity.
'I'm the King', Suga/AgustD finally has everything, he's at the top, all the rappers who talked trash about him are talentless hacks. But then it turns on him, he's alone and a tyrant, all the things he wanted, all the bragging, mean nothing - that's Daechwita (don't worry, no spoilers). AgustD is DT (for the town he's from and his original rap group) + SUGA spelled backwards. Suga is shooting guard, his position when he played basketball.
yall havent scraped the surface of BTS, their music and music videos have storylines, with depth and meaning that no one can compare with. get ready because they definitely have more to offer
Other BTS songs that I think y'all will like... -Black Swan -UGH! -Outro: TEAR -DDaeng -The other "Cyphers" (Since y'all reacted to Cypher 4) ~Also check out the Rap Lines mixtapes; Suga- Agust D, D-2 RM- RM, Mono J-Hope- Hope World
BTS is more than just kpop. U just have to dive into them to learn more about why a lot of people soon as u ask about kpop they most likely say BTS. It’s their story, meaning of their music, love for their fans, record breaking artists, hardworking men, history making, charitable donations and well honestly its a lot of things and they’ve reach heights that a lot of other kpop artists haven’t reached as yet. Their actually nominated for a Grammy for their hit song dynamite this year. Honestly I’m so proud of them and their journey and our fans army’s are so proud of what we achieved together. It’s a lot more than just music it’s spreading awareness and teaching everyone to love yourself. Hopefully u guys understand them and don’t really have any bad feelings towards them for what other fans are saying bcuz the immature fans love to fight here so it gets crazy with the fandoms so just look pass that. Thank u guys for ur reactions💜
Well said, I hope they don’t pay attention to the immature fans(I don’t claim people who spread hate as ARMYs) people who don’t know how it was in the beginning sometimes just don’t understand that they got so much hate for all the success they started getting and we as fans got just as much for just being their fans(there where some really dark days for them and us) and it all came from other fandoms so some people’s first reaction is to try to shut all them out. I hope that the HF guys just keep doing their thing and reacting to whoever they want including BTS. Not everyone who reacts to them wants to become an ARMY and that’s ok bc you can still enjoy their artistry without being an ARMY(you won’t feel it or connect to it the way we do) but still seeing people hear and appreciate their artistry is a good thing.
@@victoriamassengale77 I know so true. They don’t have to become an army but just appreciate and love the music that we so much love and enjoy. Thanks for your love 💜
FUN FACT: Steve Aoki also collab with BTS for another song called---"Waste on me" you guys can check that out~~~ yes I love Mic drop and its choreography!! Pls react to Agust D (one of BTS members )- he is an amazing rapper!!
"Mic Drop"-Yay! Finally!! Now, PLEASE react to BTS "On Kinetic Manifesto Film: Come Prima" (there is a different music video to this same song, so be sure to search this Exact title). You'll LOVE it!!😍💜
You should definitely check out their solo stuff it's all sooo good Jin- epiphany, house of cards Rm- joke, cypher series Suga- agust d, daechwita, cypher series Jhope- chicken noodle soup, airplane cypher series jimin- serendipity, filter, lie, house of cards V(taehyung)- singularity(very r&b vibe) winter bear, house of cards Jungkook- euphoria, my time, house of cards (I know you've already reacted to some just making a list 🤣) As for all of them lol no more dream, bulletproof pt 2(their very first and second song very different from what they do now lol), dope, baepsae(silver spoon), blood sweat and tears, dynamite (first all english song), black swan, airplane pt 2 and sooo many more good songs lol
They are famous because of the messages and variety they have in their music. Not to mention they have worked hard for years. I suggest you should check out ugh live, black swan, idol, the other cyphers and fake love.
BTS is on another level. They are master story tellers. They have what is called "Bangtan (BTS) Universe" where their music videos are intertwined with each other to tell an alternate universe story. The songs on their albums are not just a bunch of "cool songs" thrown together but songs that fit story arcs from one album to another. They've produced their own beats and write a majority of the lyrics. They came from a very poor entertainment company/label that did not have money nor privilege in the KPOP industry. Bless that small entertainment company that they've made BTS shareholders since BigHit became public. You currently have no idea what BTS has done for promoting Korean culture and their contribution to the Korean economy. BTS now holds the record for most albums sold in the history of Korea. They are pretty much household names globally now. The way that customer and your little nephew knew them came from their own blood, sweat and tears.
Since y’all said you want to know more about BTS and why they are the ones associated with kpop, I highly recommend, The most beautiful life goes on by Asian Theory. It’s an amazing into to the member their growth and successes! I would love if you guys would react to this:) Thankyall!!
I am a classical music fan since first year in college but after falling into this BTS Rabbit whole , here I am . watching youtube REACTION ....We love BTS not because they are one of the K Pop groups. BTS just happen to be KOREANs. They are truly special and extraordinary genuine gemstone. Not Only artists that I can respect and look up to but make me believe I can do better and feel better in this pandemic era.
This reaction was super good and I’m glad that y’all enjoyed it. Bts has such a wide range of music and mostly if not all their songs are bangers. If you couldn’t tell by now lol they are a 7 member group and debuted in 2013 with the song No more dream (I highly recommend watching the live performance of that song) and they’ve became one of the most successful music acts in the world breaking tons of records. Their the first Korean act since the Beatles to earn 3 number 1 albums in less than a year and also are the first Korean act to chart number 1 on billboard hot 100 multiple times now and are also nominated for a Grammy. It’s safe to say that they are the biggest boy band in the world lol. Also their success didn’t happen overnight it took hours of hard work and dedication to get to where they are now. They would even have dance practices for 12-16 hours a day. They also write and produce all their music themselves and their lyrics are super deep. RM Is the leader and rapper of the group. He was an under ground rapper before he was in bts and also is fluent in English and Japanese. Not to mention he has an IQ of 148 so that man is smart as hell lol. Jin is the oldest and is one of the vocalist. He wanted to become an actor before bts but he ended up singing instead. Suga is also one of the rappers and was in under ground rap. He’s one of the fastest Kpop rappers out there and he’s honestly so talented. Jhope is also a rapper and was in a dance group called neuron and was at national level for dancing. Jimin is a vocalist and is probably the most talented vocalist ever. His voice is like no other. He was in contemporary dance and was top in his class. V is also a vocalist and his voice is super deep and soulful. He gives off this rich R&B vibe and it’s so beautiful. Jungkook is the youngest and is also a vocalist. He’s literally good at everything lol and his voice is so beautiful. Some songs that I would recommend are Tomorrow, Outro: Tear, interlude: shadow, black swan, blood sweat & tears, and Fake love. Sorry for the long ass paragraph but I hope this helped.
Mic drop is nostalgic to me . Because bts broke a lot of records with mic drop also it was the first kpop group ever to got no.1 on US itunes single charts. ❤️ 👏🏼👏🏼
As a person who have followed kpop since 2010, i can say that BTS definitely deserve to be the biggest kpop group. Its hard to explain here. But i think people gonna realize this once they dig deeper with BTS music discography n watch some of their interviews. Fun fact, BTS album map of the soul:7 has 4mil+ while 2nd biggest album from other groups are 1mil+. There are huge gap there Numbers n streaming dont lie. Thus, there must be something special about BTS n i wish you find out by your own. Have a nice day.
The mic drop og version is more "raw" deff recommend to check it out i kinda prefer it over the remix, theres also a version featuring Desiigner! Love the reactions btw
The common thread in all BTS music is self-love and mental health. That's my theory about why the fan base is so huge. People are pulled in by their talent and stay because of their positive message.
Thank you so much for reacting to “Mic Drop“. It was one of the first MVs that I watch that really got me to fall in love with BTS. 💜 8:59 - As for whether ARMY are “anti-other K-pop bands”, I’m not sure I would agree with that. I can only speak from my experience with ARMY and I can say that they are some of the most diverse group of fans I’ve ever met. There may be fans in there that are casual fans, hard-core fans, new fans, veteran fans, and some that may even be toxic fans. One thing is certainly true for almost all of the BTS ARMY though and that is that they are certainly some of the most *protective* people of their band but I feel that kinda comes with the territory. I feel like rivalries among fans are rather prevalent in the K-pop fandom. Back during the second generation phase of K Pop, there were a lot of toxic fans that took that rivalry too far and made being into K-pop really stressful which lead me to leaving the fandom for a really long time. As for whether ARMY specifically have “an affinity to dislike” other K-pop bands, I think this might be a slight misunderstanding. To be honest, I think it might just be a coping mechanism, kind of like a defensive response. You see, during the early days of the group’s career, both the band and their fans received A LOT of backlash, criticism, and mockery for supporting BTS. Therefore, there was this protective bond that grew between BTS and their fandom, and was fostered during the height of the band's struggles with defamation, false allegations of plagiarism and chart manipulation, and death threats. For the longest time, ARMY was all BTS had in their corner. They were (and still are) their source of inspiration and their hope during their darkest hours and times of seemingly insurmountable odds. It’s the reason why ARMY is so protective of BTS and vice versa, especially when outsiders are prone to calling their fans “crazy” or “fanatics”. So, no, in general I don’t believe ARMY has a “dislike for all other K-pop bands”, they are just very protective of BTS is all. I, for one, consider myself a huge BTS fan and I still support and love other K-pop groups. I listen to MAMAMOO, EXO, Got7, TWICE, and so many other bands on a daily basis but that doesn’t diminish my love and passion for BTS at all. Now, there may be a handful of toxic fans in the fandom that would like for others to believe that their bands is the greatest and better than all others but that is a very small percentage and does not represent the fandom on the whole. Plus, there are toxic fans in every fandom (great and small). Some fans in the fandom might not be a fan of other groups or support other groups and might just listen to BTS but that isn't every ARMY, just a fraction of the fandom. I’m sorry that those fans gave you that impression of the entire fandom. The ARMY that I have interacted with in the past have always been super supportive, very inclusive, and very welcoming. I hope those fans find your videos in the future and hopefully represent that side of the fandom as well.
i love BTS, they were the first kpop group i started listening to in 2017. but i am a multi fan and listen to other kpop artists as well. there are many super passionate armys (bts fandom name) that are all just about bts. a huge part of bts' message is respecting others and their differences and being a kind person. that's why me as an army, would never put down other groups. there is plenty of good kpop for everyone, and at the end of the day, ALL artists are hard working and deserve to shine!!
For me it’s like telling someone you listen to Selena Gomez so they assume you must also like Demi lovato. Just because I like BTS it doesn’t mean I have to like every other Kpop group. Different sounds, different personalities. As someone who’s been interested in Kpop songs here and there since 2013 I can BTS is the first group that I fell in love with hard. They just had something no other group had. Doesn’t mean other groups ain’t talented, because that’s not the case, but for me they just had something special
There is a reason BTS is the biggest. You will find out on your own.... Maybe you should react to Who Is BTS to get to know the members. But the songs are endless.
Let's just say there's BTS and then there's K-pop. They're the biggest boyband in the world because not only are they excellent in dancing, singing and rapping, they're also brilliant lyricists, composers and songwriters. Their music always carry a deeper message that inspire a lot of people to be the best version of themselves.
Fun fact: The first kpop wave happened in 2012 with Psy- Gangnam style which introduced American fans to Big Bang, 2ne1, girls generation and B.A.P which was the first kpop boy group to perform in the US. They helped paved the way for groups like Bts and other kpop groups 😊💜 btw pls react to B.A.P Warrior and one shot it’s🔥🔥
Fun fact: after PSY and all the 2nd gen who was in the US kpop was never found in the WESTERN anymore until BTS break the wall and paved the way for the new generation and now they became the first Asian, artist and Korean in almost everything they do. I'm not discrediting anyone here but after all the Kpop you mentioned was in the US kpop was never seen on the American market because all those grps did a lil but not alot.
@@minyunkie.p5086 I became a stan 9yrs ago so I know that. I also remember girls generation and wonder girls performing on talk shows, big bang on a magazine covers in 2013, big bangs bang bang bang music playing in the background of the x games and wonder girls having a movie on nickelodeon. And for me personally if not remembering all the old groups coming to the US I never would've gave bts and other groups a chance. But you're right we all know bts made a big impact and brought in a huge amount of fans
I see people recommending Agust D (🔥 btw). In case you don't know, Agust D's real name is Min Yoongi. Yoongi is also a member of BTS where he goes by the name Suga.
Even though it opens up with DJ Steve Aoki, the song itself is written by BTS Leader “RM” (comes out of ambulance) which was said to be inspired by Obama speeches when he dropped the MIC. After Mr. Aoki listened to their song and loved it so much that Steve collabed with BTS to make a remix of their original song “Mic Drop” which is in korean; he had the honor of being featured in their music video which he gets credit for the remix on top of being in the MV, there’s also another remix version with Desiigner voice played in the background in the Intro of the video. *This song is one of many DISS tracks BTS has done directed at haters, ANTIs and anyone who’s against their well earned success* FUN FACTS: Almost everything used is REAL except maybe the floating mics and floating fire after literally blowing up a car. #BTS #MicDrop Just to let you know they’re not swearing, it’s known as wordplay more or less and also they’re not saying the american “N” word either it only sounds like it, the “naega” word in their language means “I” or “you” in Korean. Everyone who doesn’t understand abit about the language & meanings have that reaction especially when they hear the “naega” word; which is very commonly used allot in the asian culture & music. It’s not the same as the american “N” word, which allot of westerners got too comfortable hearing or saying and assumes automatically when they hear it from a foreigner that’s what they mean but it has nothing to do with african americans at all. *In some foreign languages, many common american words will sound similar but have different meanings*
You have just scratched the surface of BTS, lol. Their talent, creativity, and hard work are unmatched. And ARMY is protective and very passionate about BTS because of all the struggles they have gone through and because of how down to earth and real they are to this day. They also love ARMY and thank us for everything they have and have accomplished. Everything they do is for ARMY. Other KPop groups do not interact the same way with their fans. The best way for you to really understand is to watch the videos about their journey and how there is so much more to them than just a boy band. You will be amazed by how much work they do. I would suggest "This Is BTS: Introduction to BTS pt1", "Who Is BTS: The Seven Members Of Bangtan", and "The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: Story Of BTS". Also, ARMY will always help with any questions or information. Thank you for your reactions, I have really enjoyed them. I hope you continue with BTS and even come down the rabbit hole that is BTS 💜💜💜
Hi, ARMY here. BTS were the underdogs, they didn't aim for that thou. Their company was very little, newcomer. There was an existing hierarchy in Kpop industry. Manipulations by the 3 other large entertainment group was rampant. TV shows, award shows etc. What I'm saying, our love for BTS stems from a point of 'protective' thinking, knowing their huge talent, years of training, but denied by the others. BTS invited us in with daily/weekly YT vlogs. Their personalities and charisma was shining from day one. When BigHit was broke, K-ARMY send food, groceries, blankets, pots etc. to BTS. We love BTS.....and BTS loves us back more. The worldwide success was teamwork between BTS and ARMY. Statistics show, today BTS is charting better than the all the other Kpop teams combined. As fan we kinda place them outside KPOP now, like BTSPop, they really are their own genre. I personally like other KPop teams and K-RnB and KHipHop. True ARMY will not hate on other teams because BTS won't. You have to be weary of hate comments, they may not be ARMY.
The scene with the car explosion, there are burning bodies falling from the sky too. Straight crazy. By the way, not all BTS fans (ARMY) dislike and discourage watching other groups. A lot of us are “multifandom”, meaning we like other groups and artists in kpop too. You guys do you. Don’t mind the hate and pressure. BTS is great, but that doesn’t mean you can’t like other groups and their music just as much or not more. All personal taste.
You'll be surprised to find out that the car explosion is real, you guys should definitely check out the behind the scenes of this MV. Also side note, this song was inspired by Barack Obama's mic drop p.s: I'm subbing
BTS are the ultimate underdog story. They rose from nothing to the top and had no on their side. Just passion and talent. ADDITIONALLY, ARMY is not anti-other groups. Don't let the loud voices of those few let you think that. I've been listening to kpop for 14 years and all of my friends and family that love BTS supports many other artists.
BTS is probably the most well known k-pop group but they are amazing and to me the best. They are composers, writers,producers, performers and above all great human beings. None of their songs sound the same. They have lots of American artist inspiration. R&b, jazz, rap, soul. They are unique and had to work very hard to get to the top. They interact a lot with fans and have an amazing relationship with Army. They are humble and never forget where they came from nor who helped get them to the top. Army is passionate and very organized. There isn't anything we can't do for these 7 wonderful humans.
Steve aoki has made another song for them which is the truth untold. There is no music video but the song is really amazing. Its ballad, but wow that song is really really great. I cant believe that steve aoki can make such good ballad. And BTS sound amazing in it. Check out the lyric video. The lyrics are amazing but sad. You can see how versatile BTS are.
Hi! Steven’s father was Rocky Aoki , and in addition to owning Benihana, he WAS thrill seeker. He was almost killed while racing his “cigarette” boat and it flipped and he was seriously injured. The man had no fear. I used to enjoy going to the Benihana Grand Prix boat races when it came to the New Jersey shore every summer in the 70’s. 🚤🚤
When I became a fan of BTS, I was a fan of their artistry, talent and personalities. I’m sure there are other groups and artists with whichever genre that are also talented but I just didn’t connect with them in the way that I did with BTS and their music. And the more I got to know them through their music, shows, documentaries and interviews, I just got deeper into the rabbit hole. 😃 So thank you so much for reacting and giving your honest views while still respecting the artists. ☺️
And BTS has always had artistic freedom which is not typical in K-pop groups. They also had a say in who was going to be in the group and the group’s direction, that’s not typical. Because they write lyrics, compose, and produce both on their own or with the in-house production team, BTS has always shared their story and criticisms of social injustices. They’ve never hesitated to speak out against authority, which isn’t normal in k-pop at all! Instead of singing “love songs” they write songs to/for their fans (named ARMY -it’s an acronym), or for themselves, or diss tracks towards haters, or trying to change society. Typically K-pop is just about getting the next single; BTS continues the story they’re telling. Have fun! Also, it’s not that BTS fans (ARMY) don’t like other groups, it’s just they are so busy with BTS that they don’t have time/inclination for others. There are many talented groups, BTS is different; they’re more.
BTS IS THE DEFINITION OF STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM NOW THERE HERE AND THEY WILL NOT BE LEAVING!!!!!!!!! You guys should also check out monstax and Bobby's U Mad he just released it!
I think BTS seems a lot different than other groups because it's not just the music and dance, which are amazing, but it's the messages and their authentic, funny, and actually humble personalities. I am 67yo and have never seen anything like this, it's not just teen girls, ARMY has all ages, genders, cultures. They have actually helped a lot of people with what they are doing and we appreciate it. You might like to watch their speech at the United Nations.
I enjoy many different groups. They are so incredibly talented. I fell into kpop through dance, so Kai, Taemin, and Ten got me here years ago. Then BTS touched my heart with their message and story. Their one take MV, Save Me, had me in the rabbit hole. Because of BTS and ARMY, I have been able to be apart of many projects that help make this world a little better. We regrow forest, provide children with medical care, fund school lunches, clean up beaches, fund dance scholarships, the list is endless and beautiful. Their humble giving character is what inspires most of the fans and is a big part as why so many can relate to them.
Don't know if yall will read... I was into kpop before bts debuted and I like all these groups but bts is the one group I actually related to the most. The message in their songs are amazing. Just know that there is fan wars. Bts having one of the biggest fan base ( means there will be many toxic ones) and many amazing ones too
Same here! My introduction into kpop was in 2012 with Exo- Mama. It randomly popped up in my suggested lol but yes out of any groups I’ve heard so far I totally agree they are the most relatable
Yeah, I got into kpop around 11 yrs ago and it was actually because of Boys Over Flowers, I fell in love with Kim Hyung Joong lol so SS501 was the very first kpop group I actually stan in 2011. After that it was EXO and then BTS... However, even though I did stan BTS, EXO was my favorite. BTS didn’t become my ultimate bias group until their Skool Luv Affair/Dark & Wild era. Everything is just so crazy now that they’ve become so huge, we have even more toxic fans within the fandom and the atmosphere hasn’t really been the same since😩😔
@@Bionca1214 awww love like this was my favorite song! Mine was mblaq and bts honestly wasn't my fave until young forever, and I wasn't really involved with Fandom until now but I can see how things shift
You’re so right! I’m new to Kpop and I’ve noticed army is crazy. I like BTS but I also like other groups so it’s weird when their fans only support BTS because other groups are good too.
No they are not though. So nothing weird. It is only weird for kpop stans like you who like recycled manufactured meaningless dated fast food construction noise. We like true artists and music.
@@pennybleta9721 So is Big Bang, Rain, Psy, and Shinee recycled manufactured noise because last time I checked they were the fathers of Kpop and actually had more of an original sound. BTS themselves look up to and even perform those groups music. That’s why I said army is crazy. It’s ok to like other groups, and other forms of music because artistry can be expressed in different ways.
@@meganrascoe3227 Oh but they are though. None of who you mentioned had anything unique about them. The only one who deserves respect is Rain and PSY as people not as artists. They still haven't done anything remotely original about them. And they are far from fathers of kpop. Educate yourself before spouting nonsense. Seo Taiji was the father of kpop and he named BTS his successors because they brought back kpop to it's roots and not all the negative stereotypes SM, YG and JYP created. Army's are not the ones who are crazy here kpoppies like you are because you cannot accept reality and facts. And you don't even have a clue about idol industry. Get help there's professionals who can help you with that. It's ok to like other groups does not mean they are anything remotely close to BTS or real artistry. I mean plenty of people like these manufactured meaningless dated recycled construction noise does not make it any less low quality junk
@@pennybleta9721 I’m not a Kpoppie, I like all genre of music like classical, gospel, blue grass, reggae and reggaeton. But let me educate you, I like BTS but they’re not original also. They classify themselves as pop but they actually use more elements of Hiphop and Rap since their debut and recently more R&B. R&B was created by black American in the 1940s and its a break off from jazz and blues and gospel (which included slave hymn) its meant to express what was going on with African Americans and the struggle with segregation and Jim Crow. And Rap was created in the 1970s and was representative of the many issues blacks had to face. They’re a strong emotional element that explains life in the ghetto, drugs, gangs and the non acceptance into the social norm. I say all this to say that BTS is not original they’re doing what Kpop groups are doing and they will never fully connect to the art because they have never had to experience what the black race has gone through and they never will. It’s obvious that I’m older than you and I think you need love yourself and not bash other people for having an opinion.
@@meganrascoe3227 Not even close. I am probably older than you. I know that BTS is using rap. Rap maybe your culture but it is used all over the world. Every single country have a rap scene. BTS didn't start as an idol group but a hip hop one and two of the rappers in rapline were underground hip hop artists quite famous there as well..RM was the fear of underground krap community in age 15. BTS are quite Versatile they have all kinds of music style they don't limit themselves to only one. At least educate yourself. And this is only one of the things that make them unique and not a typical idol group. But it is not the only reason they are a once in a lifetime phenomenon. The reason is explained here in these videos At 4:30 onwards m.th-cam.com/video/eRZs8gmFhT4/w-d-xo.html And here m.th-cam.com/video/scGpFxuvJu4/w-d-xo.html As for the kpoppie term is for those like you who like idol music. I don't I only like BTS with a few other exceptions like IU and Mamamoo. But not enough to be their fan like BTS.
They take their success and celebrates with fans. 💜🔥🌎 Everything they do is extra and first class. Their lyrics will just make you love them more. Happy hunting.
So I'm a Blink and an ARMY. Most ARMY don't hate on other fan groups (toxic fans come with every fandom though). I think ARMY are the largest and most dedicated fans. I've tried other K-Pop, but BTS and Blackpink have spoiled me. I won't hate on other groups though, especially when you know what they have to go through to even just debut. I have mad respect for K-Pop artists.
BTS is the "most popular" bc BTS is the most lit! They check all the boxes and constantly innovate. They have more freedom to be individuals and write their own stuff, and they are really original talent. They also use their platform to communicate with fans regarding taboo topics in Korea like mental health, etc. They partnered with UNICEF to launch their Love Yourself Speak Yourself campaign to end childhood violence. Anyways, they a big deal for good reason! Y'all are great guys and I appreciate the ways you appreciate.
Solo work (rap line) RM: Joke, Do You Agust D (Suga): Daetwchita, Agust D J-hope: Daydream, Chicken Noodle Soup Rap line: Ddaeng, Cypher 1, 2, 3 and 4, Cypher Medley, Ugh Solo work (vocal line) JK: Euphoria Jin: Epiphany V: Singularity Jimin: Serendipity Vocal line: Dimple, The Truth Untold BTS: Fire, Dope, Blood Sweat and Tears, Fake Love, ON, Make it Right.. and many more!! BTS is a rabbit hole.. once you fall it's almost impossible to get out! They write and produce most of their songs! Pure talent right there!
BTS is that big because of the members. They are hard working, super talented, humble human beings. They paved the way for a lot of your favorites, coming from a smaller company, with hip hop roots and being super involved in the music. Keep in mind you are watching videos that came out before many other you watched already. They opened the way for other korean artists to be enjoyed in the whole world and do the music they like.
Fun fact... that explosion was real. :) Also... there's a really cool dance break they do in live performances. The irony is that BTS is a LOT different that most other "K-Pop", but they are the group that is making K-Pop more known globally. I REALLY like a lot of other Korean artists and groups, but BTS is by far my favorite. I usually tell people just getting into K-pop that start with BTS, to not EXPECT other groups to look or sound anything like BTS. Not that it's better or worse, just different.
BTS broke through the Kpop glass ceiling years ago, but still have not received the recognition they deserve in the music industry. They are the biggest group in the world right now, selling records just as well as any other top artists. They have the talent to get them to the top but what truly sets them apart are the 7 members. All it takes is getting to know them to see why. "BTS from nobodies to Legends" and "The most Beautiful moment in Life Goes on" are fan made documentaries worth watching.
There's a making of of this video :)) plus a dance practice - this song is jhopes, the dance leader of this group. He's the one starting the song. He comes from street dance and he kills this choreo during live.
BTS is the biggest boyband in the world right now. That's why even people who don't listen to kpop know who BTS are because they are just that huge. They pretty much paved the way for other kpop groups such as NCT and STRAY KIDS which you guys are familiar with.
@@hideInbushTT if bts didn't manage to make it in the western market groups like nct and stray kids would have never been able to get the same amount of success in the west as they have now.
@@hideInbushTT if you don't know anything it's better for you to stop being a whole circus, BTS PAVED THE WAY AND MAKE KPOP GO MAINSTREAM that's facts no one can agrue with facts, if you want to agrue talk to the wall.
If you guys react to ddaeng or Ugh by BTS, I would suggest watching Korean Explaining by DKDKTV for both songs. As a foreigner after watching these explanations I was dumbfounded at their lyricism and wordplay.
BTS became popular in North America (SoKor first ofc) then became globally known because of their fans - ARMY. I’m not a fan but i like their songs and MIC drop is one of my faves. - KPOP fan since 2009.
This song applies to every achievement they recieved every year because the more they succeed the more haters they have. LISTEN TO MIC DROP AND THEY DONE.
You have to reaction to: From Home Rearranged Ver. (The stage) - NCT U. Baby Don´t Like It - NCT 127. Nectar - WayV. We Go Up - NCT DREAM. Say my Name - ATEEZ. THANXX - ATEEZ. Comeback Home - ONEUS. ALL IN - Stray Kids.
yes, BTS is the best. honestly, they are the most talented, generally their talent levels esp. in dance and rap started out levels above most/all kpop groups, and on top of that they just happened to be hilarious, humble, genuine people with brilliant personalities strong leadership skills and senses of self, and they also were born into the social media generation where the world they came up in is global and allowed their reach to be amplified around the world. they were always authentically themselves from the beginning and people love that. and they always thought for themselves and had something to say individually, particularly the rap line RM Suga and j-hope from the beginning.
@@cloudchamois7004 i disagree if u calculate avg talent in relative to the top kpop standard in each category they would be in B tier kpop. This is not specific just avg calculation of entire grp with respect to the top groups in each category. So B is actually good but there are many groups with A and few of them S category. I don't wanna drop names bcz army are toxic and whatever they say is the rule.
I saw Taeyang from BigBang in 2013. The song was called " Ringa Linga (dance practice). I am still in love with G Dragon. BTS was my first group for me. in 2013. I love it all. I am not hardcore BTS only. I love SEVENTEEN. I LOVE NCT. But you need to watch.....MAMAMOO ! My favorite girl group.
I've never liked kpop, until I discover BTS... I thought at first that they would be the same as the idea I have of kpop but they are wayway beyond this industry, the sound, the mindset, the art, just everything is different. They are just on another level of artistry for me and it's pretty obvious. Their skills as rappers, there's nothing alike in Korea, the way they write lyrics and produce melodies is on another level, even the dancing.
BTS is the best Korean band. They are very involved in their music and and they paved the way for kpop to be introduced to the world but they are their own genre. I'm not into kpop but BTS fan but never an anti.
I know ya'll react to music videos, but to truly get to know and understand just a fraction of what BTS is about, I suggest watching a "BTS journey" video to explain their journey from 2013 to present times. They've been through A LOT.
RM(BTS leader) actually made this beat, (the guy who came out from the ambulance) and I'm not too sure what Steve Aoki did to this song because it basically sounds the same as the original one. This is just a shorter version of the original..😅💜❤
This is a goodby to the "friends" in the industry that not only abandoned them but went on to verbally attack their work, look, etc. They only use CGI when absolutely necessary, there are videos for "the making of" . The sound of the mics hitting the floor is rich. True fans enjoy a good long reaction so feel free to review the lyrics with us. If you want to hear more rap try Outro:Tear, lyrics are a must. For R &B try V's solo, Singularity, or his Snow Flower feat. Peakboy. Baby making R&B, stay well
I believe that all fandoms weather are kpop or out of kpop have toxic people not only army , it's just that armys are A LOT so there would be more toxic people
Love your honest reaction on everything you react to not just BTS music. We're definitely not anti kpop. We are just protective and passionate about our support for bts and everything that they stand for especially because of everything that they've been through. We all have our favorite kpop groups and it's definitely not right to compare them because they're all good in their own ways. BTS has become the biggest group in the world not because they're over rated. They've worked hard to be where they are right now through their music, their message and their love for their fans which set them apart from other groups. And despite all their achievements, they stayed humble and true to everything they stand for. I understand you may had bad experience with some Army's but not all Army's are the same. Most Army's are kind, and only spread positive vibes because this is what BTS is all about. Please do not let you opinion be affected by any negative experience you may have experienced with the fandom. And let's not compare each kpop group. Instead, let's all enjoy what they have to offer
You know I love kpop. But when I found out about BTS it was just it for me. I do still listen to other kpop here and there. But BTS just hits different. Thank ya for the reaction! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
There's actually 5 versions of MIC drop 1) Korean Version (original version with less English lyrics) 2) Japanese Version (yes they sing and rap in Japanese too) 3) Steve Aoki Remix (mv with more English lyrics for international viewers) 4) Desiigner Featured 5) Mama Stage Performance version
Bts is the biggest group in the world, no only a k-Pop group, the are 3 rappers and 4 vocalist, the write, produced, make beats and all dance. The have 5 nr 1 Albums at Billboard and 3 nr 1 at Billboard 100. The are tied whid Beatles.
Watch On Kinetic Manifesto film and On : Commentary Film Dialogue. I promise you’ll get an overview on why they are biggest band rn. If you have time and want to actually know why they are different from other groups, you can watch: - BTS Contribution to music - BTS Crash course 2020 - This is BTS by Xceleste It is basically a summary of their music and them as people
Speaking in terms of US only, BTS is the most widely known “k-pop” group to the general public because they’ve been promoted on shows like Good Morning America, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Ellen Degeneres Show, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, The Late Late Show with James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel Live, etc in addition to attendance at award shows like BBMA and AMA and taken home awards from these shows. Their music is good which typically top music charts, are accessible thru different music platforms, have a great message which fans relate to, and they’ve been on cover of magazines like Time and Variety. Additionally, the fan base is huge which leads to huge social media engagements. All this, I feel, factors into when you think K-pop, you think BTS.
I would suggest PLT - hocus pocus or igoholic for more k hip hop sounds. Also I would suggest DEAN, crush, junny, or jay park for more k r&b! there's way more than just the kpop scene or "idol" music. BTS is so big rn it's crazy. Mic drop was big when it dropped.
BTS are the biggest K-pop group in the world. I, for one, am a multi-stan but my first love in k-pop is BTS. Their fandom, ARMY, is loyal and protective. BTS is a rags to riches story. If you are truly interested in finding out more about why they have become the phenomenon they are today I have some videos I can recommend.
Bts were kind of like the underdogs of the industry for a long time. worked extremely hard to their way to the top especially not being apart from the big 3 most successful companies in Korea which are: SM, YG and JYP. I think that people are connected to them more than just music itself and of course, their talent.. it has to do a lot with their personality and journey as a group. Started from the bottom and now they’re just conquering the world.
nods
Yess!!!
sometimes it's quality over quantity but with them i feel like they have both. They're so hard working, it's insane how many b-sides they have and it's never a miss to me. I also love how they experiment with all kinds of genres, they are still musically growing and improving and i admire them for that
Outside of being incredibly talented, they are also well know from a lyrical standpoint as you get deeper into their dischoreography. They speak about topics outside the norm of what kpop was known for. They talk about social, youth, political, mental issues etc. They overcame a lot of adversity.
Ikr BTS journey and life is like out of a movie
AGUST D "DAECHWITA" IT'S A MUST.....
And AUGUST D
I concur. And I hope someone else can explain to them who Agust D really is coz my class is starting🏃♀️
YES
No Agust D first
'I'm the King', Suga/AgustD finally has everything, he's at the top, all the rappers who talked trash about him are talentless hacks. But then it turns on him, he's alone and a tyrant, all the things he wanted, all the bragging, mean nothing - that's Daechwita (don't worry, no spoilers). AgustD is DT (for the town he's from and his original rap group) + SUGA spelled backwards. Suga is shooting guard, his position when he played basketball.
BTS was inspired to write this song after watching Barack Obama do his "mic drop" at his final White House Correspondents' Dinner.💜💜💜
BTS "On Kinetic Manifesto Film: Come Prima pls
I personally don't like that film
I love this video. I personally really like dance videos. The actual music video is also really good. So much to take in.
yall havent scraped the surface of BTS, their music and music videos have storylines, with depth and meaning that no one can compare with. get ready because they definitely have more to offer
I think they might only be interested in their music videos. I can't see them really getting to know them, just an observation lately.
I see BTS, i click
Omg same ... and I hope you guys don’t react to bts just for views either cause armys will see that .. 🤣
Me too
same
omg same same
Other BTS songs that I think y'all will like...
-Black Swan
-UGH!
-Outro: TEAR
-DDaeng
-The other "Cyphers" (Since y'all reacted to Cypher 4)

Airplane pt 2, dope, save me, attack on Bangtan, fire also thank you 🙏😊
BTS is more than just kpop. U just have to dive into them to learn more about why a lot of people soon as u ask about kpop they most likely say BTS. It’s their story, meaning of their music, love for their fans, record breaking artists, hardworking men, history making, charitable donations and well honestly its a lot of things and they’ve reach heights that a lot of other kpop artists haven’t reached as yet. Their actually nominated for a Grammy for their hit song dynamite this year. Honestly I’m so proud of them and their journey and our fans army’s are so proud of what we achieved together. It’s a lot more than just music it’s spreading awareness and teaching everyone to love yourself. Hopefully u guys understand them and don’t really have any bad feelings towards them for what other fans are saying bcuz the immature fans love to fight here so it gets crazy with the fandoms so just look pass that. Thank u guys for ur reactions💜
Well said, I hope they don’t pay attention to the immature fans(I don’t claim people who spread hate as ARMYs) people who don’t know how it was in the beginning sometimes just don’t understand that they got so much hate for all the success they started getting and we as fans got just as much for just being their fans(there where some really dark days for them and us) and it all came from other fandoms so some people’s first reaction is to try to shut all them out. I hope that the HF guys just keep doing their thing and reacting to whoever they want including BTS. Not everyone who reacts to them wants to become an ARMY and that’s ok bc you can still enjoy their artistry without being an ARMY(you won’t feel it or connect to it the way we do) but still seeing people hear and appreciate their artistry is a good thing.
@@victoriamassengale77 I know so true. They don’t have to become an army but just appreciate and love the music that we so much love and enjoy. Thanks for your love 💜
React AGUSTD DAECHWITA and AGUSTD - AGUSTD
FUN FACT: Steve Aoki also collab with BTS for another song called---"Waste on me" you guys can check that out~~~
yes I love Mic drop and its choreography!! Pls react to Agust D (one of BTS members )- he is an amazing rapper!!
Such an underrated song and the video is sooooo funny!!! Waste it on me isa great song!!
Also for Truth Untold.
"Mic Drop"-Yay! Finally!! Now, PLEASE react to BTS "On Kinetic Manifesto Film: Come Prima" (there is a different music video to this same song, so be sure to search this Exact title). You'll LOVE it!!😍💜
im not sure if its too early to react to this but, bts from nobody to legends
Its a bit early I think they should react to more songs and b-sides then watch the nobodies to legend one!
Yes. I just now asked for that.🤞
You should definitely check out their solo stuff it's all sooo good
Jin- epiphany, house of cards
Rm- joke, cypher series
Suga- agust d, daechwita, cypher series
Jhope- chicken noodle soup, airplane cypher series
jimin- serendipity, filter, lie, house of cards
V(taehyung)- singularity(very r&b vibe) winter bear, house of cards
Jungkook- euphoria, my time, house of cards
(I know you've already reacted to some just making a list 🤣)
As for all of them lol
no more dream, bulletproof pt 2(their very first and second song very different from what they do now lol), dope, baepsae(silver spoon), blood sweat and tears, dynamite (first all english song), black swan, airplane pt 2 and sooo many more good songs lol
They are famous because of the messages and variety they have in their music. Not to mention they have worked hard for years. I suggest you should check out ugh live, black swan, idol, the other cyphers and fake love.
BTS is on another level. They are master story tellers. They have what is called "Bangtan (BTS) Universe" where their music videos are intertwined with each other to tell an alternate universe story. The songs on their albums are not just a bunch of "cool songs" thrown together but songs that fit story arcs from one album to another. They've produced their own beats and write a majority of the lyrics. They came from a very poor entertainment company/label that did not have money nor privilege in the KPOP industry. Bless that small entertainment company that they've made BTS shareholders since BigHit became public. You currently have no idea what BTS has done for promoting Korean culture and their contribution to the Korean economy. BTS now holds the record for most albums sold in the history of Korea. They are pretty much household names globally now. The way that customer and your little nephew knew them came from their own blood, sweat and tears.
Great comment. I wish they would read it. Nice going fam💜😁
Since y’all said you want to know more about BTS and why they are the ones associated with kpop, I highly recommend, The most beautiful life goes on by Asian Theory. It’s an amazing into to the member their growth and successes! I would love if you guys would react to this:) Thankyall!!
The most beautiful life goes on by Asian Theory update one it up to 2021 Permission to Dance era.
I am a classical music fan since first year in college but after falling into this BTS Rabbit whole , here I am . watching youtube REACTION ....We love BTS not because they are one of the K Pop groups. BTS just happen to be KOREANs. They are truly special and extraordinary genuine gemstone. Not Only artists that I can respect and look up to but make me believe I can do better and feel better in this pandemic era.
This reaction was super good and I’m glad that y’all enjoyed it. Bts has such a wide range of music and mostly if not all their songs are bangers. If you couldn’t tell by now lol they are a 7 member group and debuted in 2013 with the song No more dream (I highly recommend watching the live performance of that song) and they’ve became one of the most successful music acts in the world breaking tons of records. Their the first Korean act since the Beatles to earn 3 number 1 albums in less than a year and also are the first Korean act to chart number 1 on billboard hot 100 multiple times now and are also nominated for a Grammy. It’s safe to say that they are the biggest boy band in the world lol. Also their success didn’t happen overnight it took hours of hard work and dedication to get to where they are now. They would even have dance practices for 12-16 hours a day. They also write and produce all their music themselves and their lyrics are super deep. RM Is the leader and rapper of the group. He was an under ground rapper before he was in bts and also is fluent in English and Japanese. Not to mention he has an IQ of 148 so that man is smart as hell lol. Jin is the oldest and is one of the vocalist. He wanted to become an actor before bts but he ended up singing instead. Suga is also one of the rappers and was in under ground rap. He’s one of the fastest Kpop rappers out there and he’s honestly so talented. Jhope is also a rapper and was in a dance group called neuron and was at national level for dancing. Jimin is a vocalist and is probably the most talented vocalist ever. His voice is like no other. He was in contemporary dance and was top in his class. V is also a vocalist and his voice is super deep and soulful. He gives off this rich R&B vibe and it’s so beautiful. Jungkook is the youngest and is also a vocalist. He’s literally good at everything lol and his voice is so beautiful. Some songs that I would recommend are Tomorrow, Outro: Tear, interlude: shadow, black swan, blood sweat & tears, and Fake love. Sorry for the long ass paragraph but I hope this helped.
Mic drop is nostalgic to me . Because bts broke a lot of records with mic drop also it was the first kpop group ever to got no.1 on US itunes single charts. ❤️
👏🏼👏🏼
shinee - replay
this is their groups debut song and it is arguably the best debut song in kpop history and one of these members (taemin) is in super m
R&B vibes too
Yessss
best boy group debut song EVER,, i would argue that snsd's into the new world is the best girl group debut
Omg yes please !!!
As a person who have followed kpop since 2010, i can say that BTS definitely deserve to be the biggest kpop group. Its hard to explain here. But i think people gonna realize this once they dig deeper with BTS music discography n watch some of their interviews. Fun fact, BTS album map of the soul:7 has 4mil+ while 2nd biggest album from other groups are 1mil+. There are huge gap there Numbers n streaming dont lie. Thus, there must be something special about BTS n i wish you find out by your own. Have a nice day.
please react to bts singularity and stigma its more r and b and soul
also Agust d the last
The mic drop og version is more "raw" deff recommend to check it out i kinda prefer it over the remix, theres also a version featuring Desiigner! Love the reactions btw
Yes! Finally someone talking abt original version 💜
The common thread in all BTS music is self-love and mental health. That's my theory about why the fan base is so huge. People are pulled in by their talent and stay because of their positive message.
Thank you so much for reacting to “Mic Drop“. It was one of the first MVs that I watch that really got me to fall in love with BTS. 💜
8:59 - As for whether ARMY are “anti-other K-pop bands”, I’m not sure I would agree with that. I can only speak from my experience with ARMY and I can say that they are some of the most diverse group of fans I’ve ever met. There may be fans in there that are casual fans, hard-core fans, new fans, veteran fans, and some that may even be toxic fans. One thing is certainly true for almost all of the BTS ARMY though and that is that they are certainly some of the most *protective* people of their band but I feel that kinda comes with the territory. I feel like rivalries among fans are rather prevalent in the K-pop fandom. Back during the second generation phase of K Pop, there were a lot of toxic fans that took that rivalry too far and made being into K-pop really stressful which lead me to leaving the fandom for a really long time.
As for whether ARMY specifically have “an affinity to dislike” other K-pop bands, I think this might be a slight misunderstanding. To be honest, I think it might just be a coping mechanism, kind of like a defensive response. You see, during the early days of the group’s career, both the band and their fans received A LOT of backlash, criticism, and mockery for supporting BTS. Therefore, there was this protective bond that grew between BTS and their fandom, and was fostered during the height of the band's struggles with defamation, false allegations of plagiarism and chart manipulation, and death threats. For the longest time, ARMY was all BTS had in their corner. They were (and still are) their source of inspiration and their hope during their darkest hours and times of seemingly insurmountable odds. It’s the reason why ARMY is so protective of BTS and vice versa, especially when outsiders are prone to calling their fans “crazy” or “fanatics”. So, no, in general I don’t believe ARMY has a “dislike for all other K-pop bands”, they are just very protective of BTS is all. I, for one, consider myself a huge BTS fan and I still support and love other K-pop groups. I listen to MAMAMOO, EXO, Got7, TWICE, and so many other bands on a daily basis but that doesn’t diminish my love and passion for BTS at all.
Now, there may be a handful of toxic fans in the fandom that would like for others to believe that their bands is the greatest and better than all others but that is a very small percentage and does not represent the fandom on the whole. Plus, there are toxic fans in every fandom (great and small). Some fans in the fandom might not be a fan of other groups or support other groups and might just listen to BTS but that isn't every ARMY, just a fraction of the fandom. I’m sorry that those fans gave you that impression of the entire fandom. The ARMY that I have interacted with in the past have always been super supportive, very inclusive, and very welcoming. I hope those fans find your videos in the future and hopefully represent that side of the fandom as well.
i love BTS, they were the first kpop group i started listening to in 2017. but i am a multi fan and listen to other kpop artists as well. there are many super passionate armys (bts fandom name) that are all just about bts. a huge part of bts' message is respecting others and their differences and being a kind person. that's why me as an army, would never put down other groups. there is plenty of good kpop for everyone, and at the end of the day, ALL artists are hard working and deserve to shine!!
well-said~~
Yup
Truth
Well said! (BTS was also my gateway into kpop in 2017)
For me it’s like telling someone you listen to Selena Gomez so they assume you must also like Demi lovato. Just because I like BTS it doesn’t mean I have to like every other Kpop group. Different sounds, different personalities.
As someone who’s been interested in Kpop songs here and there since 2013 I can BTS is the first group that I fell in love with hard. They just had something no other group had. Doesn’t mean other groups ain’t talented, because that’s not the case, but for me they just had something special
There is a reason BTS is the biggest. You will find out on your own.... Maybe you should react to Who Is BTS to get to know the members. But the songs are endless.
Let's just say there's BTS and then there's K-pop. They're the biggest boyband in the world because not only are they excellent in dancing, singing and rapping, they're also brilliant lyricists, composers and songwriters. Their music always carry a deeper message that inspire a lot of people to be the best version of themselves.
Fun fact: The first kpop wave happened in 2012 with Psy- Gangnam style which introduced American fans to Big Bang, 2ne1, girls generation and B.A.P which was the first kpop boy group to perform in the US. They helped paved the way for groups like Bts and other kpop groups 😊💜 btw pls react to B.A.P Warrior and one shot it’s🔥🔥
Fun fact: after PSY and all the 2nd gen who was in the US kpop was never found in the WESTERN anymore until BTS break the wall and paved the way for the new generation and now they became the first Asian, artist and Korean in almost everything they do. I'm not discrediting anyone here but after all the Kpop you mentioned was in the US kpop was never seen on the American market because all those grps did a lil but not alot.
@@minyunkie.p5086 I became a stan 9yrs ago so I know that. I also remember girls generation and wonder girls performing on talk shows, big bang on a magazine covers in 2013, big bangs bang bang bang music playing in the background of the x games and wonder girls having a movie on nickelodeon. And for me personally if not remembering all the old groups coming to the US I never would've gave bts and other groups a chance. But you're right we all know bts made a big impact and brought in a huge amount of fans
I see people recommending Agust D (🔥 btw). In case you don't know, Agust D's real name is Min Yoongi. Yoongi is also a member of BTS where he goes by the name Suga.
Even though it opens up with DJ Steve Aoki, the song itself is written by BTS Leader “RM” (comes out of ambulance) which was said to be inspired by Obama speeches when he dropped the MIC. After Mr. Aoki listened to their song and loved it so much that Steve collabed with BTS to make a remix of their original song “Mic Drop” which is in korean; he had the honor of being featured in their music video which he gets credit for the remix on top of being in the MV, there’s also another remix version with Desiigner voice played in the background in the Intro of the video. *This song is one of many DISS tracks BTS has done directed at haters, ANTIs and anyone who’s against their well earned success* FUN FACTS: Almost everything used is REAL except maybe the floating mics and floating fire after literally blowing up a car. #BTS #MicDrop
Just to let you know they’re not swearing, it’s known as wordplay more or less and also they’re not saying the american “N” word either it only sounds like it, the “naega” word in their language means “I” or “you” in Korean. Everyone who doesn’t understand abit about the language & meanings have that reaction especially when they hear the “naega” word; which is very commonly used allot in the asian culture & music. It’s not the same as the american “N” word, which allot of westerners got too comfortable hearing or saying and assumes automatically when they hear it from a foreigner that’s what they mean but it has nothing to do with african americans at all. *In some foreign languages, many common american words will sound similar but have different meanings*
You have just scratched the surface of BTS, lol. Their talent, creativity, and hard work are unmatched. And ARMY is protective and very passionate about BTS because of all the struggles they have gone through and because of how down to earth and real they are to this day. They also love ARMY and thank us for everything they have and have accomplished. Everything they do is for ARMY. Other KPop groups do not interact the same way with their fans. The best way for you to really understand is to watch the videos about their journey and how there is so much more to them than just a boy band. You will be amazed by how much work they do. I would suggest "This Is BTS: Introduction to BTS pt1", "Who Is BTS: The Seven Members Of Bangtan", and "The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: Story Of BTS". Also, ARMY will always help with any questions or information. Thank you for your reactions, I have really enjoyed them. I hope you continue with BTS and even come down the rabbit hole that is BTS 💜💜💜
Hi, ARMY here.
BTS were the underdogs, they didn't aim for that thou. Their company was very little, newcomer. There was an existing hierarchy in Kpop industry. Manipulations by the 3 other large entertainment group was rampant. TV shows, award shows etc.
What I'm saying, our love for BTS stems from a point of 'protective' thinking, knowing their huge talent, years of training, but denied by the others. BTS invited us in with daily/weekly YT vlogs. Their personalities and charisma was shining from day one.
When BigHit was broke, K-ARMY send food, groceries, blankets, pots etc. to BTS. We love BTS.....and BTS loves us back more.
The worldwide success was teamwork between BTS and ARMY. Statistics show, today BTS is charting better than the all the other Kpop teams combined. As fan we kinda place them outside KPOP now, like BTSPop, they really are their own genre.
I personally like other KPop teams and K-RnB and KHipHop. True ARMY will not hate on other teams because BTS won't. You have to be weary of hate comments, they may not be ARMY.
The scene with the car explosion, there are burning bodies falling from the sky too.
Straight crazy.
By the way, not all BTS fans (ARMY) dislike and discourage watching other groups. A lot of us are “multifandom”, meaning we like other groups and artists in kpop too. You guys do you. Don’t mind the hate and pressure. BTS is great, but that doesn’t mean you can’t like other groups and their music just as much or not more. All personal taste.
You'll be surprised to find out that the car explosion is real, you guys should definitely check out the behind the scenes of this MV. Also side note, this song was inspired by Barack Obama's mic drop
p.s: I'm subbing
BTS are the ultimate underdog story. They rose from nothing to the top and had no on their side. Just passion and talent. ADDITIONALLY, ARMY is not anti-other groups. Don't let the loud voices of those few let you think that. I've been listening to kpop for 14 years and all of my friends and family that love BTS supports many other artists.
you should definitely react to black swan by bts
BTS- ON KINETIC MANIFESTO FILM. No explanation needed
BTS is probably the most well known k-pop group but they are amazing and to me the best. They are composers, writers,producers, performers and above all great human beings. None of their songs sound the same. They have lots of American artist inspiration. R&b, jazz, rap, soul. They are unique and had to work very hard to get to the top. They interact a lot with fans and have an amazing relationship with Army. They are humble and never forget where they came from nor who helped get them to the top. Army is passionate and very organized. There isn't anything we can't do for these 7 wonderful humans.
Steve aoki has made another song for them which is the truth untold. There is no music video but the song is really amazing. Its ballad, but wow that song is really really great. I cant believe that steve aoki can make such good ballad. And BTS sound amazing in it. Check out the lyric video. The lyrics are amazing but sad. You can see how versatile BTS are.
"Are they DOPE?"
Yes. They also have a song called DOPE. Go check it 🔥
Hi! Steven’s father was Rocky Aoki , and in addition to owning Benihana, he WAS thrill seeker. He was almost killed while racing his “cigarette” boat and it flipped and he was seriously injured. The man had no fear. I used to enjoy going to the Benihana Grand Prix boat races when it came to the New Jersey shore every summer in the 70’s. 🚤🚤
When I became a fan of BTS, I was a fan of their artistry, talent and personalities. I’m sure there are other groups and artists with whichever genre that are also talented but I just didn’t connect with them in the way that I did with BTS and their music. And the more I got to know them through their music, shows, documentaries and interviews, I just got deeper into the rabbit hole. 😃 So thank you so much for reacting and giving your honest views while still respecting the artists. ☺️
And BTS has always had artistic freedom which is not typical in K-pop groups. They also had a say in who was going to be in the group and the group’s direction, that’s not typical. Because they write lyrics, compose, and produce both on their own or with the in-house production team, BTS has always shared their story and criticisms of social injustices. They’ve never hesitated to speak out against authority, which isn’t normal in k-pop at all! Instead of singing “love songs” they write songs to/for their fans (named ARMY -it’s an acronym), or for themselves, or diss tracks towards haters, or trying to change society. Typically K-pop is just about getting the next single; BTS continues the story they’re telling. Have fun!
Also, it’s not that BTS fans (ARMY) don’t like other groups, it’s just they are so busy with BTS that they don’t have time/inclination for others. There are many talented groups, BTS is different; they’re more.
IT'S THE MESSAGE THEY BRING IN THERE SONGS THAT MAKES THEM SOOOO SOOO POPULAR!
BTS IS THE DEFINITION OF STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM NOW THERE HERE AND THEY WILL NOT BE LEAVING!!!!!!!!! You guys should also check out monstax and Bobby's U Mad he just released it!
I think BTS seems a lot different than other groups because it's not just the music and dance, which are amazing, but it's the messages and their authentic, funny, and actually humble personalities. I am 67yo and have never seen anything like this, it's not just teen girls, ARMY has all ages, genders, cultures. They have actually helped a lot of people with what they are doing and we appreciate it. You might like to watch their speech at the United Nations.
I enjoy many different groups. They are so incredibly talented. I fell into kpop through dance, so Kai, Taemin, and Ten got me here years ago. Then BTS touched my heart with their message and story. Their one take MV, Save Me, had me in the rabbit hole. Because of BTS and ARMY, I have been able to be apart of many projects that help make this world a little better. We regrow forest, provide children with medical care, fund school lunches, clean up beaches, fund dance scholarships, the list is endless and beautiful. Their humble giving character is what inspires most of the fans and is a big part as why so many can relate to them.
Don't know if yall will read... I was into kpop before bts debuted and I like all these groups but bts is the one group I actually related to the most. The message in their songs are amazing.
Just know that there is fan wars. Bts having one of the biggest fan base ( means there will be many toxic ones) and many amazing ones too
Same here! My introduction into kpop was in 2012 with Exo- Mama. It randomly popped up in my suggested lol but yes out of any groups I’ve heard so far I totally agree they are the most relatable
Yeah, I got into kpop around 11 yrs ago and it was actually because of Boys Over Flowers, I fell in love with Kim Hyung Joong lol so SS501 was the very first kpop group I actually stan in 2011. After that it was EXO and then BTS... However, even though I did stan BTS, EXO was my favorite. BTS didn’t become my ultimate bias group until their Skool Luv Affair/Dark & Wild era. Everything is just so crazy now that they’ve become so huge, we have even more toxic fans within the fandom and the atmosphere hasn’t really been the same since😩😔
@@Bionca1214 awww love like this was my favorite song! Mine was mblaq and bts honestly wasn't my fave until young forever, and I wasn't really involved with Fandom until now but I can see how things shift
You’re so right! I’m new to Kpop and I’ve noticed army is crazy. I like BTS but I also like other groups so it’s weird when their fans only support BTS because other groups are good too.
No they are not though. So nothing weird. It is only weird for kpop stans like you who like recycled manufactured meaningless dated fast food construction noise. We like true artists and music.
@@pennybleta9721 So is Big Bang, Rain, Psy, and Shinee recycled manufactured noise because last time I checked they were the fathers of Kpop and actually had more of an original sound. BTS themselves look up to and even perform those groups music. That’s why I said army is crazy. It’s ok to like other groups, and other forms of music because artistry can be expressed in different ways.
@@meganrascoe3227 Oh but they are though. None of who you mentioned had anything unique about them. The only one who deserves respect is Rain and PSY as people not as artists. They still haven't done anything remotely original about them. And they are far from fathers of kpop. Educate yourself before spouting nonsense. Seo Taiji was the father of kpop and he named BTS his successors because they brought back kpop to it's roots and not all the negative stereotypes SM, YG and JYP created. Army's are not the ones who are crazy here kpoppies like you are because you cannot accept reality and facts. And you don't even have a clue about idol industry. Get help there's professionals who can help you with that. It's ok to like other groups does not mean they are anything remotely close to BTS or real artistry. I mean plenty of people like these manufactured meaningless dated recycled construction noise does not make it any less low quality junk
@@pennybleta9721 I’m not a Kpoppie, I like all genre of music like classical, gospel, blue grass, reggae and reggaeton. But let me educate you, I like BTS but they’re not original also. They classify themselves as pop but they actually use more elements of Hiphop and Rap since their debut and recently more R&B. R&B was created by black American in the 1940s and its a break off from jazz and blues and gospel (which included slave hymn) its meant to express what was going on with African Americans and the struggle with segregation and Jim Crow. And Rap was created in the 1970s and was representative of the many issues blacks had to face. They’re a strong emotional element that explains life in the ghetto, drugs, gangs and the non acceptance into the social norm. I say all this to say that BTS is not original they’re doing what Kpop groups are doing and they will never fully connect to the art because they have never had to experience what the black race has gone through and they never will. It’s obvious that I’m older than you and I think you need love yourself and not bash other people for having an opinion.
@@meganrascoe3227 Not even close. I am probably older than you. I know that BTS is using rap. Rap maybe your culture but it is used all over the world. Every single country have a rap scene. BTS didn't start as an idol group but a hip hop one and two of the rappers in rapline were underground hip hop artists quite famous there as well..RM was the fear of underground krap community in age 15. BTS are quite Versatile they have all kinds of music style they don't limit themselves to only one. At least educate yourself. And this is only one of the things that make them unique and not a typical idol group. But it is not the only reason they are a once in a lifetime phenomenon. The reason is explained here in these videos

As for the kpoppie term is for those like you who like idol music. I don't I only like BTS with a few other exceptions like IU and Mamamoo. But not enough to be their fan like BTS.
They take their success and celebrates with fans. 💜🔥🌎
Everything they do is extra and first class. Their lyrics will just make you love them more.
Happy hunting.
Thanks for the reaction. Can't wait until you see BTS live (ex. Armypedia, Tiny Desk, MMA 2020, etc.) 💜. Take your time though!
So I'm a Blink and an ARMY. Most ARMY don't hate on other fan groups (toxic fans come with every fandom though). I think ARMY are the largest and most dedicated fans. I've tried other K-Pop, but BTS and Blackpink have spoiled me. I won't hate on other groups though, especially when you know what they have to go through to even just debut. I have mad respect for K-Pop artists.
BTS is the "most popular" bc BTS is the most lit! They check all the boxes and constantly innovate. They have more freedom to be individuals and write their own stuff, and they are really original talent. They also use their platform to communicate with fans regarding taboo topics in Korea like mental health, etc. They partnered with UNICEF to launch their Love Yourself Speak Yourself campaign to end childhood violence. Anyways, they a big deal for good reason! Y'all are great guys and I appreciate the ways you appreciate.
These boys write and produce a lot of their music ...Especially the rappers
Solo work (rap line)
RM: Joke, Do You
Agust D (Suga): Daetwchita, Agust D
J-hope: Daydream, Chicken Noodle Soup
Rap line: Ddaeng, Cypher 1, 2, 3 and 4, Cypher Medley, Ugh
Solo work (vocal line)
JK: Euphoria
Jin: Epiphany
V: Singularity
Jimin: Serendipity
Vocal line: Dimple, The Truth Untold
BTS: Fire, Dope, Blood Sweat and Tears, Fake Love, ON, Make it Right.. and many more!!
BTS is a rabbit hole.. once you fall it's almost impossible to get out! They write and produce most of their songs! Pure talent right there!
you ain’t wrong about the bts fanbase. army crazy asf
BTS is that big because of the members. They are hard working, super talented, humble human beings. They paved the way for a lot of your favorites, coming from a smaller company, with hip hop roots and being super involved in the music. Keep in mind you are watching videos that came out before many other you watched already. They opened the way for other korean artists to be enjoyed in the whole world and do the music they like.
Fun fact... that explosion was real. :) Also... there's a really cool dance break they do in live performances. The irony is that BTS is a LOT different that most other "K-Pop", but they are the group that is making K-Pop more known globally. I REALLY like a lot of other Korean artists and groups, but BTS is by far my favorite. I usually tell people just getting into K-pop that start with BTS, to not EXPECT other groups to look or sound anything like BTS. Not that it's better or worse, just different.
BTS broke through the Kpop glass ceiling years ago, but still have not received the recognition they deserve in the music industry. They are the biggest group in the world right now, selling records just as well as any other top artists. They have the talent to get them to the top but what truly sets them apart are the 7 members. All it takes is getting to know them to see why.
"BTS from nobodies to Legends" and "The most Beautiful moment in Life Goes on" are fan made documentaries worth watching.
There's a making of of this video :)) plus a dance practice - this song is jhopes, the dance leader of this group. He's the one starting the song. He comes from street dance and he kills this choreo during live.
BTS is the biggest boyband in the world right now. That's why even people who don't listen to kpop know who BTS are because they are just that huge. They pretty much paved the way for other kpop groups such as NCT and STRAY KIDS which you guys are familiar with.
What are you talking about dude 😂
@@hideInbushTT wym
@@hideInbushTT they ain't lying bts paved the way
@@hideInbushTT if bts didn't manage to make it in the western market groups like nct and stray kids would have never been able to get the same amount of success in the west as they have now.
@@hideInbushTT if you don't know anything it's better for you to stop being a whole circus, BTS PAVED THE WAY AND MAKE KPOP GO MAINSTREAM that's facts no one can agrue with facts, if you want to agrue talk to the wall.
More Bts please!!
If you guys react to ddaeng or Ugh by BTS, I would suggest watching Korean Explaining by DKDKTV for both songs. As a foreigner after watching these explanations I was dumbfounded at their lyricism and wordplay.
BTS became popular in North America (SoKor first ofc) then became globally known because of their fans - ARMY.
I’m not a fan but i like their songs and MIC drop is one of my faves.
- KPOP fan since 2009.
This song applies to every achievement they recieved every year because the more they succeed the more haters they have.
LISTEN TO MIC DROP AND THEY DONE.
You have to reaction to:
From Home Rearranged Ver. (The stage) - NCT U.
Baby Don´t Like It - NCT 127.
Nectar - WayV.
We Go Up - NCT DREAM.
Say my Name - ATEEZ.
THANXX - ATEEZ.
Comeback Home - ONEUS.
ALL IN - Stray Kids.
They are so much better than others! They have a lot of artistic freedom the K-pop group as a whole do not get!!!!!
yes, BTS is the best. honestly, they are the most talented, generally their talent levels esp. in dance and rap started out levels above most/all kpop groups, and on top of that they just happened to be hilarious, humble, genuine people with brilliant personalities strong leadership skills and senses of self, and they also were born into the social media generation where the world they came up in is global and allowed their reach to be amplified around the world. they were always authentically themselves from the beginning and people love that. and they always thought for themselves and had something to say individually, particularly the rap line RM Suga and j-hope from the beginning.
I don't wanna sound rude but they're not the most talented group. No doubt they're talented but this is overstatement.
@@iamagoodboy5672 not an overstatement whether you agree or disagree
@@cloudchamois7004 i disagree if u calculate avg talent in relative to the top kpop standard in each category they would be in B tier kpop. This is not specific just avg calculation of entire grp with respect to the top groups in each category. So B is actually good but there are many groups with A and few of them S category. I don't wanna drop names bcz army are toxic and whatever they say is the rule.
@@iamagoodboy5672 wow you're pretty funny. it's like you just said Kate Winslet is a B tier actor. lmao. anyway, this is where you're wrong. sorry!
@@cloudchamois7004 whose ken winslet?
I saw Taeyang from BigBang in 2013. The song was called " Ringa Linga (dance practice). I am still in love with G Dragon. BTS was my first group for me. in 2013. I love it all. I am not hardcore BTS only. I love SEVENTEEN. I LOVE NCT. But you need to watch.....MAMAMOO ! My favorite girl group.
I've never liked kpop, until I discover BTS... I thought at first that they would be the same as the idea I have of kpop but they are wayway beyond this industry, the sound, the mindset, the art, just everything is different. They are just on another level of artistry for me and it's pretty obvious. Their skills as rappers, there's nothing alike in Korea, the way they write lyrics and produce melodies is on another level, even the dancing.
BTS grew huge in America and around the world... they are the BIGGEST kpop group right now.
BTS is the best Korean band. They are very involved in their music and and they paved the way for kpop to be introduced to the world but they are their own genre. I'm not into kpop but BTS fan but never an anti.
Bts is actually nominated for a Grammy this year.
I know ya'll react to music videos, but to truly get to know and understand just a fraction of what BTS is about, I suggest watching a "BTS journey" video to explain their journey from 2013 to present times. They've been through A LOT.
RM(BTS leader) actually made this beat, (the guy who came out from the ambulance) and I'm not too sure what Steve Aoki did to this song because it basically sounds the same as the original one. This is just a shorter version of the original..😅💜❤
This is a goodby to the "friends" in the industry that not only abandoned them but went on to verbally attack their work, look, etc. They only use CGI when absolutely necessary, there are videos for "the making of" . The sound of the mics hitting the floor is rich. True fans enjoy a good long reaction so feel free to review the lyrics with us. If you want to hear more rap try Outro:Tear, lyrics are a must. For R &B try V's solo, Singularity, or his Snow Flower feat. Peakboy. Baby making R&B, stay well
That’s true Bts fans do tend to be very toxic but I swear not all of us are like that!!! There’s a difference between Bts fans and kpop fans
I believe that all fandoms weather are kpop or out of kpop have toxic people not only army , it's just that armys are A LOT so there would be more toxic people
@@shomimi7604 you’re soo right omg I’m in soo many fandoms including army, and there’s toxic people everywhere
Love your honest reaction on everything you react to not just BTS music. We're definitely not anti kpop. We are just protective and passionate about our support for bts and everything that they stand for especially because of everything that they've been through. We all have our favorite kpop groups and it's definitely not right to compare them because they're all good in their own ways. BTS has become the biggest group in the world not because they're over rated. They've worked hard to be where they are right now through their music, their message and their love for their fans which set them apart from other groups. And despite all their achievements, they stayed humble and true to everything they stand for. I understand you may had bad experience with some Army's but not all Army's are the same. Most Army's are kind, and only spread positive vibes because this is what BTS is all about. Please do not let you opinion be affected by any negative experience you may have experienced with the fandom. And let's not compare each kpop group. Instead, let's all enjoy what they have to offer
You know I love kpop. But when I found out about BTS it was just it for me. I do still listen to other kpop here and there. But BTS just hits different. Thank ya for the reaction! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I personally prefer the original version of this but I think I’m in the minority 😂
Same! Has a more authentic hip hop feel
Omg finally someone who likes the og version better!
Same here! Its definitely better in my opinion, feels more raw
Same the original version hits different
lol same
There's actually 5 versions of MIC drop
1) Korean Version (original version with less English lyrics)
2) Japanese Version (yes they sing and rap in Japanese too)
3) Steve Aoki Remix (mv with more English lyrics for international viewers)
4) Desiigner Featured
5) Mama Stage Performance version
BTS is not Kpop.... BTS is BTS!!!! They are a whole new league.
Bts is the biggest group in the world, no only a k-Pop group, the are 3 rappers and 4 vocalist, the write, produced, make beats and all dance. The have 5 nr 1 Albums at Billboard and 3 nr 1 at Billboard 100. The are tied whid Beatles.
True, you know Kpop, u must know BTS, u know BTS, that’s what u just want to know 😌
Those Cars actually Exploded while they was dancing watch behind the scenes of MIC DROP
Y'all are cool like family..glad I found you. And glad you found Kpop(BTS specifically). Peace y'all!🙏
BTS are known for Fiery Performance, sync choreography and moving lyrics.
This is my FAVORITE BTS song. One of my go to jams!
react to B.A.P One Shot, Skydive, Warrior etc please, thank you....
#9YearsWithBAP
Yes give us some BAP.
Yes BAP . Although i not a fan but I appreciate their music
waiting for B.A.P and Bang Yongguk reaction.....
This reaction was MUST guys. Thank you. This song holds the top place among all the BTS songs. 💯💫
Seeing the Old BTS , i can definitely say bts hell deserve Everything they have now and even more i mean just look at their Music level.
Watch On Kinetic Manifesto film and On : Commentary Film Dialogue. I promise you’ll get an overview on why they are biggest band rn.
If you have time and want to actually know why they are different from other groups, you can watch:
- BTS Contribution to music
- BTS Crash course 2020
- This is BTS by Xceleste
It is basically a summary of their music and them as people
Speaking in terms of US only, BTS is the most widely known “k-pop” group to the general public because they’ve been promoted on shows like Good Morning America, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Ellen Degeneres Show, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, The Late Late Show with James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel Live, etc in addition to attendance at award shows like BBMA and AMA and taken home awards from these shows. Their music is good which typically top music charts, are accessible thru different music platforms, have a great message which fans relate to, and they’ve been on cover of magazines like Time and Variety. Additionally, the fan base is huge which leads to huge social media engagements. All this, I feel, factors into when you think K-pop, you think BTS.
Mic Drop 🔥🎵🎶de mis favoritas de BTS 💜
Saludos 🙋🏻♀️🇲🇽
bts - just one day
I would suggest PLT - hocus pocus or igoholic for more k hip hop sounds. Also I would suggest DEAN, crush, junny, or jay park for more k r&b! there's way more than just the kpop scene or "idol" music.
BTS is so big rn it's crazy. Mic drop was big when it dropped.
That’s JK AND JIMIN behind Suga while he’s Rapping and BTS do their own Stunts
BTS are the biggest K-pop group in the world. I, for one, am a multi-stan but my first love in k-pop is BTS. Their fandom, ARMY, is loyal and protective. BTS is a rags to riches story. If you are truly interested in finding out more about why they have become the phenomenon they are today I have some videos I can recommend.
