Each country has its own iTunes chart, so an artist can get a #1 in each country. So for Jin, his song reached #1 in 100 different countries. 💜
that's so wild
@@ALovelyPenguin ARMY also likes to just randomly begin recharting their discography. If they are snubbed, we stream. If another fandom says something cruel, we stream. And just for fun, such as April Fool's when ARMY recharted their very first album and pretended on Twitter that BTS was a new rookie group. Songs that had NEVER charted even in 2013 made it simply for that project. It was pretty meaningful. Also. Last year we decided to see how many songs we could chart worldwide on itunes and actually had a TON of songs break Adele's record for the most itunes #1.
@@ALovelyPenguin yes is crazy but is because the music is so good that the song and albums always chart more than 100 number 1 in itunes breaking Adele 5b year record
Yep 💜
I’m in my 60’s and have listened to a lot of music in my lifetime. I believe this group transcends any other artists I’ve heard. They’re genuine, humble and so talented. The messages in their songs reverberate and touch the heart of what it means to be human. This world is a better place because of them. I hope you’ll jump down the rabbit hole with us. Enjoying your reacts and hope to see more. 💜💜💜
We are the same age and I feel the same.
I am 45 and have been ARMY for 6 yrs. Ever since I have been Introduced to them no one seems to compare💜🤗🇺🇲💜
Thanks!! Give it time, I'll Get there!
Late 50s and a massive music fan. I have followed them since debut and watched them grow, whilst always maintaining the soul of who they are. I am so glad that I got to witness and enjoy them. 💜
💜
Thank you for pausing to read the things that were written if the video went too fast. Most reactors would just move on, even if they couldn't read what was written in the video in time. Because of that, they sometimes miss out on important information. It shows that you are genuinely interested so thank you for that!
hahah gotta get all the facts!!
I couldn't agree more!
They said K-Pop back then, but more recently, they have said they don't want to be limited to that category or any other.
Yes, and nobody denies Kpop is their roots. What people are trying to teach is that NOW they have grown and exist beyond “k-pop.”
hahaha fair enough
I was an army before they became famous. Nobody promotes them except their company and fans. I think it's their motives that sets them apart. They never aimed for worldwide fame they just do their thing for army. And army became bigger and bigger and we just keep requesting from one youtuber to another and many love them. At one point I was suprised they were the most anticipated group at kcon. There is something in them that will make you love them.. In a generation where so many are so obssessed with attention, fame and money, it's refreshing to see people with pure talent and only want to share positive things they're also sweet and humble. Attention, fame, money just follow. And they never forget who brought them where they are now. When they first attended AMA they did not go to the after party instead they live streamed and celebrated with army. And they're still the same boys I've watched back then. They don't act arrogant or even super famous.
The first time I saw them I instantly became a fan. A boyband not singing a love song.. The song's title was Dope... The song was about working hard and perfecting your craft.. Wow!
I agree, its super refreshing! I am a full blown fan of these guys as people and so far I like their music, but we got plenty more to go!!
Great comment! 💜
the thing is that the things youre seeing them go through in the beginning are NOT common among koreas top stars. the big 3 they mentioned are the biggest entertainment companies that ruled the industry you literally had to be from those companies to make it big and bts wasnt most groups from small or medium sized companies usually fail 100s of groups debut yearly and most dont even make it to 100 days before they disband.
it sure has similarities with how people get big in the u.s but its still very much different. also they used the term kpop back in 2013 - 2015 ish but they stopped around 2016 - 2018. kpop is used to downplay bts success or attribute all their success to the korean wave which is why armys dont like to call them kpop because bts success is only bts success and both the korean industry and western industries mistreated bts so armys dont like that they can try to gain clout from using bts name.
please react to how bts paved the way by bbygangmag and bts hardships 2013 - 2021 by xcleste
Well explained especially about kpop. When people think of kpop they have their own perceptions (like all cheesy songs, more corporate, the members play certain characters/role, machines, etc.). However BTS got to where they are today doing things different compared to majority(not all) of other groups/companies…So calling them kpop makes people think that they are big for all the false reasons…(although kpop isn’t a genre it is an industry)
i agree. i second this comment.
This is a great explanation, thank you!
💯
@@amberpearce710 i agree with your comment mostly however i would steer away from using the word machine to describe asians. even though machine or manufactured means like less creative freedom, certain rules, cheesy songs etc overall the words machines and manufactured when applied to asians has a history thats very dehumanizing. western media uses it a lot as do many western people i even used to use it before the same way youre doing but when i watched bbygangmags videos about kpop vs orientalism i learned how asians whether celebrities or just every day people are often described as being machine like or robotic or manufactured due to the west having a superiority complex and making everything that comes from the east as uncivilized or less human. this applies to all parts of asia not just east asia but as east asian entertainments have been going more mainstream from anime to korean music to korean darmas etc its been used a lot more against east asians lately.
please watch bbygangmags videos to get a better understanding than i can explain in comments.
i do agree about your overall point of bts being different and their success should be separate but i think armys should make sure were not using discriminatory language/ micro aggressions as we do stan asians ourselves and most importantly no one should discriminate against asians in general or anyone for that matter even if unintentionally. :)
Once again, especially after BTS blew up in the US, they gained a lot more "fans" that aren't truly ARMY. If someone is straight up rude in the comments, I can assure you, it isn't real ARMY who know BTS and have been with them on their journey. I've been with them since early 2014 and have been through countless fanwars, bullying, etc. Never once did I retaliate with hatred bc that is not who I am, and that is not what BTS would want either. You should actually react to the rap line's song Ugh! and dkdktv's explanation of it (bc there's a lot of cultural context that's lost in translation)! It talks about how anger can be a good thing used to change the world but the constant malicious anger towards one another on the internet drowns and desensitizes people to the pure anger which could have brought about change in the world.
BTS literally saved my life. As a young teen, I made a lot of bad choices and hurt nyself in many ways. BTS found me in my darkest time and their music pulled me out of that completely. They gave me hope to continue living and work toward a dream. Now, when I'm dealing with bad days of my depression and social anxiety, I can listen to their music and it encourages me to continue working toward my dream.
19:50 I think it's also the American/Western views and stereotypes of "boybands" because there are plenty groups of men not labeled as a "boyband" but as soon as women or teenage girls start liking a group, the groups are called "boybands." And because of how popular nsync, backstreet boys, etc. were, the US continued trying to make cheesy groups like that where all their songs were the same and talked about romantic love or partying. Not to say I don't enjoy that sometimes, but I think many people (especially in the US) are too close minded and quick to judge things that are foreign to them.
Jungkook was actually 13 when he joined the company, 15 when bts debuted.
wow this is powerful, Thank you for your vulnerability in sharing! I do think they get a bad rap from how the US views boybands. I am an American, so it's what I know, these guys are changing that!
add solos to the mix (eyeroll)
Please don’t react to dkdktv, ARMY do not support that channel. There is another channel that provides detailed breakdowns, I’ll link here.
5 years ago I took a break from university to deal with mental health issues. Im glad I was taking the time to do so but it was difficult and a lot of the stuff I was dealing with I was dealing with on my own. Music was and is such a comforting and healing thing for me so I was always searching for new songs and artists to keep me going. At that time I saw BTS on the 2017 billboard awards, it was the first time I had ever heard of them and they were there to accept an award. During their speech they talked about how grateful they were to their fans and emphasized the importance on loving yourself. The good vibe I felt from them and their speech was powerful and I immediately looked into their music. Three sleepless days followed as I dove into their huge catalog, not able to believe the messages of understanding, comfort and inspiration pouring from every lyric and melody. They guided me home and each day since then as been an easier journey, not because they have fixed my problems but because they have been right beside me as a strength in finding my own voice and color and to face my challenges and fears. I'll never be able to repay them so ill just continue to pass on kindness and love to those around me. Thank you so much for giving your time to react to them, your time will not be wasted. Hope you are happy and healthy.
wow. thank you for sharing this! I am so glad you found them when you did! Thank you for coming here and being a positive part of my life!!
You're so right. I found it hard to believe too! 😅
The lyrics, I was reading them over and over to confirm what I was reading was right! I had never come across such depth even from artists who were famous for it the way I got from bangtan.
It felt so good to be true it took me a while to realise that everything was real.
@@shivangiagrawal2665 yes i felt the same way, I completely understand you. Thank you for sharing your experience with us :)
@@laurenaurora5897 all of this is so precious to me you know? We get protective without trying.
My heart fills again and again seeing these guys. I'm so glad I found something so wholesome.
@@shivangiagrawal2665 I began listening to rock and roll in the 1950's. I listened to Elvis, The Supremes, The Beatles, Elton John, Abba,....all wonderful. And yet, there is no equivalency in all those groups, over all those years to the depth of meaning in the lyrics as BTS. They are a group for the ages.
...imagine being hated by other artists fandoms so much, that they would CONSTANTLY write into the GOVERNMENT of South Korea to make them disband you. Yeah, it was that bad and for no reason for BTS. I've been ARMY since Nov. 2013 and I have been through it all with them. I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO proud of where we started to where we've are now. Thank you for taking the time to get to know our boys. Welcome to rabbit hole. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for supporting the guys.
Taehyung aka V's solo song holds the record for most #1 iTunes in the world. The song sweet night tops 118 countries iTunes chart and he is the Baritone in the group but also can sing crazy high notes
Jin's song was number one on iTunes in 100 countries. (OST means Original Sound Track)
AHHHH
Oh yeh I just saw that “stay alive” by jungkook and produced by suga is the fastest OST to hit #1 in 100 countries and fastest Male Korean soloist to hit 70 mil and 80 mil on Spotify and fastest OST to hit 70 mil and 80 mil on Spotify…… I had never even heard of an “OST” in that context and then you have thee two with such successful songs and then taes was really successful as well I believe …. I’m sure jimins will be … it’s just nuts that it’s not something super common in western culture to even be a big deal … but here in this one group I’ve heard breathtaking OSTs that’s just nuts…. Plus “your eyes tell” I think is my favorite OST but I love “Film out” also… bc the entire group on an OST is just pure magic… so crazy
I'm a 66 yrs old grandma and love BTS so much since 2014. I love BTS because they heal my depression. And I learn how to love myself. God bless BTS & ARMY'S ALL OVER THE WORLD!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
They have helped me so many times. I am always happy when I read comments like this, knowing that we share the same story, regardless of age, country, language, etc. It is beyond my imagination. I love you, Army. You are wonderful people.
Well RM once said that he used their fans to love himself/ be real, and he wants ARMY/ even everyone to use BTS to be themselves or even be happy. So do not be afraid to use them to be yourself or happy
the problem with the word kpop is it used to mean one thing (the korean idol industry) and it has now been bastardized by the western and korean media in a variety of ways, mostly for the sake of either marketing or, in the west, ostracizing bts from sitting at the westerners-only table in the industry. it was never a word meant to refer to "popular korean music," with the exception of bts and very few other groups music by idol groups isn't popular in korea at all actually. kpop isn't a genre but it's being used as if it is to keep bts out of genre centric constructs - like award show categories, playlisting, etc
one of the members even mentioned in an interview last year that the word doesn't mean anything anymore and they've said multiple times in the past few years they don't want to be boxed into an idea of "kpop"
given how racially loaded it's become in the west, i prefer to avoid it entirely. and especially because bts have kept their involvement with the idol industry itself fairly limited due to how poorly it's treated them
it's a complicated topic but honestly I'd recommended just calling them korean artists because that's what they are
They love each other sooo much (the members) not just because they must as a group but they genuinly trully love each others.
They are not just a friend or group member they are a family.
I understand and relate to most of what you said, except I’m a very new ARMY (I found them/they found me last summer). You’re right that many new post-Dynamite fans are, indeed, just fans but many of us are truly ARMY. You didn’t overtly say that ALL newer fans aren’t really ARMY but I wanted to comment.
I think of my first click on a video as a portal to a whole world I didn’t know existed but is now my forever home. I’m 50 years old and from an outside perspective it makes no logical sense that I would suddenly feel the way I do about a “boy band” but I love these 7 men with my whole heart. They inspire me and comfort me in a way that nobody else has in a very, very long time. Possibly ever. Some of their songs make me feel like I’m being tucked under a warm blanket by someone who loves me. I am so grateful that I found them and very proud to be ARMY.
*edited because some of what I said might not make sense. I wrote this as a reply to a different comment but apparently I clicked the wrong place…
You pretty much described my exact experience seven years ago and I am 58 years old. There is literally nothing I wouldn’t do for these young men because they have done so much for me as an individual. After reading your comment I can say you are absolutely full-fledged ARMY and obviously one of the many “dope old people” Namjoon referred to! Borahae mon ami! 💜🥰
100 itunes #1s means that his song YOURS topped #1 in itunes in 100 countries.
57 year old Army. They have touched my life since 2019. I've been a music fan for decades, but have never loved an artist as much as I do BTS.
@@exokings7849
Rude
@@exokings7849 That is an opinion you are allowed to have. But maybe you would feel better if you chatted with other EXO fans instead of trolling ARMY.
@@exokings7849 I like Exo also.
I just hit 6 years as a fan. Every time I watch videos like this I just feel so overwhelmingly proud! Proud of BTS and proud to be a part of so much they have done. They really do remind me that I can have power when part of a group united behind a common goal.
I think part of why I love reactions so much is, yes, because reactions are fun and i can see things vicariously for the first time again, but because BTS has had such a positive impact on my life I want to help others get introduced to them. Even if it's just by supporting reactions to them.
Hey this is an amazing attitude to have! That's some serious positivity!! Thank you for sharing that!
BP I am not sure what you mean by overrated. but It doesn't sound good...
@@ALovelyPenguin the 'Overrated' thing is what we mean by hatred.
Just the username says that this person came on the video just to spread negativity, even though this video is clearly about BTS.
They go everywhere and write nasty comments, wish they spent that time promoting their favs.
@@exokings7849 damn a Blink and an EXO-l? Pick a struggle and then come back here.
Anyways, I've been with the boys for 4 years this August, which seems so crazy, because it feels like yesterday when I discovered them
@@exokings7849 ha ha ha then why are you here😍hope you’ll find peace and love💜💜💜
I found BTS at my lowest, I was only an early teen but then life seemed so hard and the fear of growing up was hard as I constantly felt I was doing it alone. But BTS have helped me so much and I've grown up so much with them, it's been 7 years now and I'll be forever grateful for their impact on my and others lives around us
Agreed! I am a teacher who battled depression and was healed by BTS and now, I used them, their music and speeches to give inspiration and encouragement to my students. They set a very good example.
BTS and Army is one family. 💜 💜💜
Please also react to BTS Hardships by XCeleste to understand a bit more!
16:52 How have you never heard these? Answer is because they don't get radio play.
33:30 it means in 100 countries
38:00 they also went to his middle school graduation 🤣 there's Bangtan bombs showing it.
The first clip is his High school entrance and the second his graduation, you can see his hair is different 😊
47:00 The Army did a fan event, the light sticks at that time (Army bombs) were white, they covered them with purple bags as a surprise and this was his response 💜
1:03 watch Namjoon's Ending ments from Vegas D1 concert
Thanks for this!! Hardships is on my list!! should be coming up in the coming week, so be ready!!
I'm 15 and have been following bangtan since 2018. I've grown up with them and army, basically.
I come from a abusive environment, but with all of them I'm learning to forgive and move on. I don't know where I'd be if it wasn't for this community of fans and the guys. like, at least now I think about having a future.
it might sound cheesy, but now I feel like it's right to be me. like I belong somewhere.
- sorry for my english 🙇🏻
You are a strong person and I'm so happy BTS helps you 💜💜💜
@@anaastorga6205 ^^💜
I'm the same age as you and I've also been following bts since 2018 :) also stay strong !!
I hope you are doing alright still 💜
I'm so sorry I didn't make the live Spring Day reaction but I was literally nodding off and watching my 5 month old grandson LOL. Thank you for reacting to this introduction to BTS. I actually knew nothing about them or even what they looked like when I started stanning their music. My one and only Kpop group I followed went into the military in 2018 (Big Bang) and I had heard that members of BTS loved them and one even had GDragon as his bias. So I started playing their albums while working a desk job. Pretty soon I'm like, what is this I need more of it. After falling for their music I decided I should get to know these boys and that's when I fell down the BTS rabbit hole and never looked back. I'm now 51 and BTS is unlike any music group I've ever listened to or loved in my life. They are stand outs and unique. There will never be another BTS, just like there will never be another Beatles or Elvis. They are once in a lifetime ICONS.
Oh and the whole I Purple You was made up by V. He brought it up at a concert years ago and explained that purple is the last color in the rainbow and means he will love Army forever and ever, his love is unending. After pretty much melting Armys hearts he admitted he'd made it all up LOLLL! But it stuck and now Purple is the official BTS color.
This presentation of the members unfortunately neglects to mention that Jimin studied martial arts before he studied dance, with a black belt in Taekwondo, and eight years of Kumdo, a fencing art similar to Kendo. The reason I say it's unfortunate is that martial arts techniques and moves make up a significant portion of Jimin's dance style, and BTS's overall dance style is greatly influenced by Jimin's capabilities.
They also did not say he was not given vocal training. He developed his own style, and learns some techniques by watching vocal lessons for the other members. He has immense muscular control from his martial arts training, and brings that to his vocals. His natural voice is tenor, his high parts are assigned to him because he can do them, not because that's his natural preference.
FYI - Taylor the creator of this video shared that she is making edits to correct and include somethings ARMY brought up on her video. She noted that this was her "draft" and welcome feedback from people to make a spoil-free introduction video which showcase the guys' talents along with their fun, unique personalities. It's the first time she has ever made a video and we felt she did a good job on her draft. Can't wait until she does her revisions. :)
But people are still reacting to this. I hope I get to see the revised version soon..
That is a very interesting fact actually and makes sense in terms of how well he can move! But like it's been said its a draft! these videos take time and she clearly put a lot of work in, so a few slip ups isn't the worst thing to happen
@@fy3845 I've seen one of her later versions, and (in part in response to my own comment on this one, which she read and responded to) she did make changes to include martial arts information plus more focus on Jimin.
@@ALovelyPenguin I commented on her draft when it first came out. In at least one later version, she offers more information about Jimin, including his martial arts background.
The thing about k pop it is really misunderstood word wich is much more complicated than people realize... If you are interested then I suggest video bts vs kpop video essay by bby gang mang. Or other videos by him on this subject 🤗 anyways this is great video with good energy ! You nice keep going 💜
I came across your reaction when just scrolling down my you tube and I loved it . Thanks for getting to know the boys better and yes they were very young when they joined big hit. The members join the company as trainees at different times between 2010 to their debut in 2013 with Jimin being the last to join and had the least of the training time less then a year. They are closer then brothers , I was thinking today that in many cases with groups that have many members even 5 members it feels like a big group but watching bts because of how close they are you sometimes forget there is 7 of them. Anyway im glad I watched your reaction and ill definitely will watch more as you go on your bts journey.
Thanks so much!! I really appreciate it
BTS is the most genuine artists i have known. They’re the most transparent, caring, protective and sincere to their fans (BTS ARMYs) and vice versa. We’re very fortunate that we are living the world at the same time as BTS coz they’re 7 of the best gifts in life we could ever have! BTSxARMYs forever! BTS is the best! There’s nothing like BTS!
He said that he was a k pop group 9 years ago...but recently said that they dont want to be pigeonholed into it and are expanding beyond that. The k pop industry is their root, but now theyve gone FAR ahead
Thr first clip of them handing out flyers literally shows how they PAVED the way for the whole Kpop
yea they really did
From California as well and you said you wish you could inspire like they do. You do, as you’re spreading their word in a positive light.
What I really love about BTS is that they work together as a family, they can be goofy and professional in seconds plus they allow each other to create music and release it as a solo. In all the times I have loved other groups they split up to explore their solo projects and then it doesn’t work out and then they decide to get back together but by then the fans have gone and they’re not the same. BTS has got the right recipe to being a group, by giving everyone a chance to release songs as a vocal line, rap line, as a solo and as the group. It’s altogether all the time. That is why they can reach heights that no other group or artist has ever done. (Just my tuppence 😆😆).
All BTS members are writers and producers and composers too.
BangPD,Pdogg,Suga,SlowRabbit are main producers of BTS and Bighit.
Bangpd, RM are main songwriters
thanks for taking the time to get to know each member. there is so much more to know so get ready for more views and suggestions to watch.
people think ARMY are just teenagers and kids. majority of us are in our 30s and 40s. that's why we sold out stadiums, sold out merch, sell out albums and donate. we have adult money 💰
we appreciate your honest opinion.
I'm 33 and it makes me happy to see older people finally getting to know these 7 men that changed my life.
I was super depressed and was suicidal. BTS showed me it's OK to be sad but always get back up and to look at how many people love you. life is hard but never give up.
just a small clarification. Age in Korea does not work the same as in the rest of the world.
So when Jk said he join the group as 15 in fact he had 13.
The group debut when he had 15.
To put it simply, when you are born you are already 1 years old. And Koreans are all a year older on January 1, not on their birthday.
Hello😋, stellar reaction I must say. We are usually here for long reaction because there is a lot to understand first about them, Army and their music.
We love to kill with kindness, but it’s only warranted when we aren’t talking about racism, industry hate and double standards. That’s why the Kpop idea rubs us sometimes the wrong way too- they are categorised Kpop to “other” them. Putting BTS in the foreign act category when they are quite literally topping the US Charts with multiple all English songs. Making up Kpop Award categories just so they won’t appear in the main one (Best song, Album etc), not putting them on the radio because “who would listen
to Kpop” while they are outselling not only their Kpop but their US peers 🤡.
They have as much streams as the 20 next Kpop groups combined.
Did you know they are the biggest touring act in the US? 240k people came to 4 shows just 2 months ago - but surely no one on the radio would listen to Kpop🙃🙃
How about BTS Army by XCeleste or BTS hardships? Or literally anything on her channel 🤓
Good luck 🤞
15:33 actually all you need from school is the basics, everything else you can learn from tv shows, youtube and so on, and it will be easier then trying to learn it at school. all english I knew from school was like how to introduce myself, a few words about the weather and "london is a capital of great britain". then I started to watch tv shows in english with subtitles and a year later I realised that I don't need subtitles anymore
Wow! That's pretty incredible!
yeah same for me, and i almost failed my english exam. but now i am fluent. not when i write i am really bad at spelling in general.
BTS has actually outgrown kpop in 2016, their music are unique
Thank you so much for this genuine reaction! My heart always warm for people who really takes time to get to genuinely know them instead of throwing hate 💜
nope bts dont keep it pg their discography is they have something for everyone instead of a overall image or overall niche or whatever they just have songs for everyone. example kids can listen to butter, dynamite, permission to dance and other songs maybe dna, fake love, gogo etc freely anyone can listen to these songs im just saying i named some kid friendly ones
however kids maybe shouldnt listen to the cyphers, converse high, baepsae etc because those have curses in them however kids who dont know korean could probably listen freely but kids who do understand korean would probably be steered away from a few songs.
but if a parent doesnt shelter their kids and allows them to listen to curses or innuendos then bts entire discography is great.
basically theyre NOT pg but theyre also do have pg songs if that makes sense.
i hate how people assume theyre pg just cause theyre a band of guys not even a boyband in the cliché sense lmao
fair enough, it makes sense considering how much music they have made! I like that, diversifying their talent, its very cool!
@@ALovelyPenguin RM's joke is very explicit 😅
Love this video! Thanks for getting to know these 7 guys some more. Their music really has helped so many people, especially me a 41 year old single mom of two. Add to that their humble and chaotic personalities and the way they act towards each other and to Army they are the whole package. Can’t wait for your next BTS video! 💜💜💜
The 100 ITunes #1s means it went number 1 in 100 countries.
ohhhh Dang, that's super impressive!
I'm enjoying your BTS journey. I never saw this "Who is BTS" video...it was very good. I'm sure others have suggested "Who is BTS" by xCeleste (she makes excellent videos) and "The Most Beautiful Life Goes On (2022 update)" by Rice Squad (used to be Asian Theory). Those a both good videos, too.
I’m French ARMY. I have been for nearly 6 months now. I’m 51, married and mother of 2 teenage boys! When I met BTS, I discovered so much more than music and lyrics (great melodies and vibes and lyrics, by the way, I just have to read the translations, thank you ARMYs): they are genuine human beings, so full of positive energy, empathy, good mood, so humble and so hard-working. My perspective on this life has changed in the good way (never too late, right?) since I met them. SUGA said that it’s not important if we meet them now or if we met them years ago: when we meet them, it’s this time that BTS debut for us! I met 7 princes and I’m so happy! 💜
It was so funny you said Hobi is scared of the color green because that's actually his favorite color. Of all the colors you could have picked haha.
EDIT: Jin's song was number 1 on iTunes in 100 different countries.
The thing with K-pop is that yes they are part of BTS but only as one of the elements of who they are but it doesn't make sense to categorize them as just K-pop as most media in general tends to do. And that's because K-pop's path to popularity and BTS's path to popularity, although related in the beginning, are very different. There is a very interesting and informative video essay on this that people have reacted to before and you could check out as well that explain K-pops history and BTS's story and how they relate. It might give you a chance to get to know a little bit of K-pop history as well. Here is the link: BTS vs. K-POP: a video essay - th-cam.com/video/rBsZhHPA7t8/w-d-xo.html
Please react to “Tiny Desk Concert” as it will give you a better close up appreciation for their voices. Thank you!!💜💜💜💜
BTS is the first artists that I'm very passionate about. Their music made me feel things and their contents moved me in ways I can't explain.
Knowing 4 languages is honestly the one thing i'm most proud of, it's such a gift to understand people and not something that i take for granted
thats so awesome!!
LMAO WHEN U SAID JHOPES SCARED OF THE COLOR GREEN BUT THATS HIS FAVORITE COLOR IDK IT WAS JUST FUNNY 😭💀
hahahaha oh no way!!! Lol I was just making up random things! That's so much funnier!!
Totally agreed to that. Men crying should be normalize. 💜️ I Love OT7. They are the kings or breaking stereotypes and toxic masculinity
They are one of a kind. They kickstarted their concerts in Las Vegas last Friday. Directly after the 1st one (1h later?), after arriving at his hotel room, RM (Namjoon) turned on the phone for a vlive (the app where they do live streams) and talked to us for about 30 min, while having dinner and exhausted from 3h concert. And he didn't turn on to just say "hey, did you like it?" "were you there?" WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE. He came online for the real talk.
They all are special guys and so Bang PD noticed right away they had different talents, not just pretty face+ pretty voice, but also a big, humble heart.
PS. I'm Spanish, I can help you! :D
Their music is a constant live stream in my subconscious mind, even in my sleep💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I PURPLE YOU means I will love you forever/ I will stay by you forever
We are Forever "BULLET PROOF"
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The Beatles were a boy band.....just saying 😌 and BTS have alot of male fans as well. They are more than that title.
oh absolutely! They are really good so far for me!! Also the Beatles also go plenty of hate too, was just different because they didn't have the internet to see it all
Whenever iTunes #1's are mentioned, it's the number of countries... so Jin's song Yours was #1 on iTunes in 100 countries.
💜 About "Borahae", someone correct me if I'm off...💜
ARMY light sticks (ARMY bombs) originally only made white light. One time ARMY covered their lights with purple fabric. BTS was impressed with the purple glow. This was awhile before V came up with "I purple you." Or it could have been earlier that same day; I don't remember. But it seems to have been a factor, drawing V's attention to the specific color purple.
After V's explanation of purple, I think it was RM who said to V, "I didn't know about the meaning of purple, (the quality of continuing far into the future), to which V answered with a grin, "I made it up that day!"
[I totally relate. I grew up with eccentric family that coined words, and I married into a family of wordsmiths.]
Saying, "I purple you" is our code that no one outside ARMY will understand until they hear V's reasoning.
"Borahae" is the word V coined out of the Korean words "bora" (purple) and "Sarange" (I love you). It helps if you understand how the Korean language can condense a sentence into a single word, but I won't get into that. Just know that "Borahae!" and "I purple you!" are the way BTS and ARMY say, "I care, I value you, I delight in you, I wish you happiness, and you can depend on those things continuing into the future."
Imho, "Borahae" is a stroke of genius. It lets fans and BTS say "I love you" without encouraging anyone to go down the path of "I'm in love with you; We are in love; My bias told me I was his only love. Why doesn't my bias love me the way I love him?" and so on. Borahae emphasizes caring, valuing, gratitude, loyalty, and even delight, but it is a shared appreciation, not a possessive attitude. BTS doesn't have to worry about being misunderstood, so they can be free to voice their gratitude and joy. Fans say it to each other as well.
And it means we get to see my favorite color all the time!
💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜
Borahae, Mike!
10:43 "We celebrate rather than being celebrities" lol. Just a lyric from one of my favorite bts/rapline songs, "DDAENG". Check it out if you like. It's more on the rap side though, just fyi. The lyrics are just fantastic though ^_^
The grammy joke, FYI was a play on "I got a math award". V got a "gram"my. This was in 2016 back when they were not REALLY on the radar internationally outside of kpop fans quite yet.
Don't be deceived by #Jimin's cute and pretty face, he is a taekwondo blackbelter and had high level in Kendo (Japanese martial arts in swords). Like RM, Jimin is genius as his reputation in school since gradeschool is "the god of math". Jimin is also very altheletic and how he loves to do long runs. As a matter of fsct, Jimin has incorporated his Martial Arts skills in their early hardcore choreography. Though, his talent in playing musical instrument is poorly showcased because dancing is his first love, it is apparent that he had advance lessons in piano, SK's traditional flute and chaligraphy printing. Today, Jimin has been considered as SK's K-Pop frontman as he holds the longest "KPop's No. 1 Brand Reputation" for whatever he eats and wears, it sells like hot potato. More often, Jimin's talent is often underrated as in this video. Perhaps, people are easily drawn by his adorable and enegmatic aura. What gives BTS the charisma and confidence since their debute which made them different from all the global pop-hitmakers is simply because all 7 of them are, basically, good people who are determined, disciplined and apt for challenges for the love of their fans, the Army, and Jimin happens to be the first and easiest member to show that goodness in them either in deeds or by his words.
Check on "BTS: The Most Beautiful Life with updates up to 2021" --- a brief presentation of BTS' history.
What always impresses me with RM is the fact that he can goof with the guys all the time and still get 100% respect from them when needed. It must be a fine line sometimes. They all respect him so much. Being the only fluent english speaker, he carried a lot of the load for international promotions and interviews, but he always helped each member to learn a useful line or two in english so they could feel included too. Jin's 100 itunes #1s means it topped the chart in 100 countries. It bothers me a little when they focus on the "World Wide Handsome" aspect of Jin so much. As a new fan I honestly thought he was arrogant and conceited at first (because of the way he was portrayed in some introduction videos), but he is none of those things (he says that stuff as a running joke)..he is probably the shyest member and does so much for the other team members. Korean age is different from global age, Jungkook was actually 13 in global age when he signed his BigHit contract. It works like this.....Koreans are considered 1 year old at birth and all turn 1 year older on the next Jan 1 of each year. They celebrate on their actual birthday, but increase their age number on Jan 1. For example....Tae (V) was born Dec 30/95...he was considered 1 year old that day...2 days later (Jan 1/96) he turned 2 years old (even though he was 2 days old). There is some talk of them getting rid of that system in Korea and becoming consistent with global age, but we have to keep in mind when they say their ages that they were mostly 2 years younger than what they say. It must have been so hard for JK to leave home for good (and for his parents to let him go) at such a young age....thank goodness the guys were so good to him and treated him like a brother from the beginning....they really are a family. The fact that they have put so many hours and years into perfecting their craft and still give all the credit to ARMY is mind boggling sometimes. Yes we are a powerful fandom, but they put in the hours. It's such a symbiotic, beautiful relationship and it keeps us forever loyal. Thanks for a great reaction. I have been to concerts for some huge names, who don't appreciate their fans at all once they reach the top. Subscribing. I am a 63 year old ARMY from Canada and I couldn't be happier to have found them. I think you would be impressed with this video about BTS ARMY...it blew my mind when I saw it th-cam.com/video/iEy4wSU0t88/w-d-xo.html That clip at the end where they were emotional on stage...ARMY in England sang one of their songs to them in Korean...that's love.
Jungkook is just perfect singer :) He is always my fav
“Kill them with kindness”; yep, it’s the only way💜
About the iTunes thing V broke Adele's record of the most charted song in iTunes history. His OST sweet night was #1 in more than 128+ countries
Looove this! I always go around trying to find new people reacting to bts because seeing the "outsider" perspective is fun. And what truly made this great is that you seem really open minded and curios about them. Welcome to the team!
I'm not done watching yet but before I forget, finally I am not super late and I just wanted to comment when you said how much you liked the background in Jimin's room for Fake Love (the water room), that mural references the picture shown in his video Lie (XCeleste showed it in the explanation video) and that picture looks a whole lot like the mural on the wall behind you! Sorry if someone else pointed that out I didn't see it and sorry for being redundant. OK back to watching the rest, I like your reactions a lot so far.
I've been thinking the exact same thing. Even the colours are the same. 😂
@@imajinallthepurple Right!?!
hahaha All good! I have Lie on my list! Guy mush have good taste
;) lol
@@ALovelyPenguin
Well, their boss did major in aesthetics so yeah... 😄👍
Yes, the wall behind him is very similar!
You are such a nice, clever guy! I am glad you are reacting to BTS!
It seems like to me that boy bands are often seen as "shallow" and that they only ever write mushy love songs. Also probably looked down on because they're closely associated with teen girls, people can be very mean and weird about stuff that's seen as "typical teen girl" hobbies. There's a reason that the "I'm not like other girls" phase is so common for us.
Hello you re so cute. I’m 50 years old French lady myself and love those seven crackhead so much. Even if V is my bias, because of same interests and same personnality, my love for every member is beyond imagination. Everyone is so unique and talented.
Welcome to you baby Army.💜💜💜
I know this isn’t related but can I just say I am in love with your hair! It’s so gorgeous!!☺️🥺💕✨
HAHA Thank YOU!!!!!!
It was so sweet Army’s sang Forever Young to BTS that’s why they were crying on stage. You should find it on TH-cam Wembley Concert.
I could write an entire essay on why men don't like boybands but tldr; toxic masculinity and misogyny 🙄
Hi!! I'm Asia from Italy. I just want to say that I really appreciate you're video. I know sometimes we could be a little aggressive or too difensive... I hope you can understand that's not always easy to be an Army, people can be really stupid😒 however, I'm happy that you decided to know the guys and join the family🤗
It's been fun watching you get into BTS! You seem genuine, they seem genuine, and I think their overarching theme of "Love Yourself" will resonate with you.
I'd love to see you discuss more of their set-dressing, since I have not seen many people in that field do reactions (compared to dancers/choreographers/producers, etc.) For set dressing, I highly recommend their Korean Blood Sweat and Tears video. It's always my go-to video for introducing people to BTS. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the set dressing of that video, in particular. (And I will clue you in- it is heavily influenced by the book Demian, by Herman Hesse).
Since set dressing is your specialty, and I enjoyed your reaction to the "behind the scenes" of Fake Love, maybe instead of going dance practice reactions, like a lot of people do, you could do "MV Behind the scenes" reactions, which I haven't seen much of.
Daechwita by Agust-D would be another fantastic set-dressing choice! I'd love to hear your reaction to both of those MVs, in particular!
You said in an earlier video that BTS isn't really the kind of music you listen tend to listen to. What genres do you prefer? BTS has dabbled in many, so we can probably recommend some BTS tracks that might be more up your alley. Mic Drop is a great one, and very different from the two tracks you've reacted to. Might be more up your alley. musically.
Finally, whoever recommended you dive straight into the Deep End of the Bangtan Universe Lore was a jerk! Especially for not warning you first. I've been ARMY for years and I've never gotten that deep into the lore! And starting with Spring Day? Rough initiation. Sorry!
Blood Sweat and Tears I think is my next video I will be doing for them! Daechwita is also high on my list of videos to watch! I am very excited for that one!
When I said its not a go to, I more meant just for that song. I actually really like BTS for the songs I know. I am mostly a Rock Guy, punk, pop punk, hardcore, alternative, metal, emo, but I like a lot of different music from other genres too! I am just a huge music fan. Music from Asian countries such as Korea and Japan are very new to me so I am enjoying taking it slow and reacting to it as I go!! I am definitely finding songs that are going on my playlists!
Please bear in mind that when they talk about their ages, they are talking in Korean age, which is 1 to 2 years older than international age. So Jungkook was 15 Korean age when he joined, but 13 in international age.
Hello Denmark here.These 7 young men are something so special and rare in this crazy world we live in.
very true and hello from the US!
Loved that you watched Taylor's video - thanks for sharing your journey of getting to know BTS with us 💜 Wishing you all the best from this #DopeOldPerson from NZ 💛
Hi, thank you for your reaction to our boys! I am a 56 years old Lady and was an ARMY since 2016 - 2017. I love the boys because of their being pure, authentic and honest to everyone... i recommend that watch a video documentary, entitled - "The Most Beautiful Moment In Life: A Story of BTS (2022 Updated) by Rice Squad.... Good Luck on your journey...
So funny when you call out the comments that were giving you heartburn about something you innocently said like the kpop thing. While the commenters were correct, you were also correct since BTS was originally formulated in the same manner as kpop idols but the entire premise of BTS in BigHit’s mind was to go beyond the kpop/hip hop/rap styles of basic kpop groups and incorporate any and all genres with integrated content.
It's so sad how men are taught to not show emotions:/
true
Thank you so much for reacting to this introduction, I didn't expect such a long video xD. Thnaks for all your hard work, it was very nice to sit and watch it with you. I'm glad someone recommended this introduction even though is still a draft, I think is so far one of the best out there (it gives a lot of insight on each members and their personalities). Thank you again jeje, love your reaction and you seem like a very down to earth person 💜💜
Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed!
Like another comment said I highly reccomend the video essay bts vs kpop by bby gang mag to better understand the complex relationship between BTS and the kpop label!
Some of the introductory videos are unintentionally misleading. When it says something like Suga is the main producer in BTS, people take that as he is the main producer of BTS. There are several producers of BTS, including BTS members, but the main producer is Pdogg. I think it would be clearer to say that of the BTS members, Suga does the most producing - either of BTS or of other artists.
Suga is one of the main producers in Bighit, search it up please.
Pdogg,Adora(she left BH),BangPd,SlowRabbit,Suga are main producers
@@rikhmjustsomeguywithmousta4971 I have looked at the credits. He is one of the producers, but if you look at the number of credits, the main producer is Pdogg. What do you consider a "main producer"? I think of the main producer as the one credited the majority of the time. As Agust D, I would consider Suga as being the main producer. I haven't look as closely at the credits for TXT, but I think Slow Rabbit is becoming their main producer. Supreme boi seems to be the main HipHop producer for BigHit groups, and BangPd does whatever he wants with Hybe groups.
I figured there are more producers, so I don't know it it's that misleading
@@ALovelyPenguin no its not. The credits are correct info. RM,Suga,Jhope has about 180 credits as songwriters, producers and composers
@@ALovelyPenguin I think that's because you know more about the entertainment business, but a lot of people watching this take it literally.
One day, you will say that , you are now considering yourself ARMY. Until then…..keep reacting to BTS and discovering their great discography 💜
i don't care whether or not you call them k-pop:') i never understood why anyone had a problem with that; being called k-pop isn't an insult or anything lol
51 year old Army from Aruba, BTS Amry since 2016. I love your reaction, enjoy your dive into the amqzinh BTS & Army world. BORAHAE! 💜, I PURPLE YOU.
Respect to you 👍👍👍
Really love these videos and your reactions in general. You're very genuine and I appreciate that.
Thank you!!
You have to watch XCeleste documentaries about BTS and ARMY. It is very good and informative. You will know for sure BTS.
If you like chaos, you've come to the right place. I saw other comments that said the video didn't focus enough on their talents, but you can see that in their videos and performances. I would venture to say that a large percentage of ARMY, especially those of us over 40, came for the talent but stayed for the guys themselves. They are so fun and funny and sincere and loving (among themselves and to the world) and that's a large part of why I love them more than any other artists I've ever been a fan of. Definitely dive into the chaos if you truly want to know these men.
haha Thank you for this and thanks for defending me earlier! I am probably just the same, I definitely see the talent, but I think their personalities are even better!
He was 15yrs old in Korean age but his international age was 13/14yrs old, the way Korean age works when they are born they are classed as 1yr old, honestly google it it will explain it better. You probably already know by now but BTS performed at the iconic WEMBLEY STADIUM in 2019 and had 2 sold out shows there, and also they were only the 12th artists to have sold out the stadium, now you think about how many musical artists there are in this world and for BTS to be only the 12th artists to accomplish this is AWESOME, also there is a video on youtube where ARMY surprised BTS by singing their song FOREVER YOUNG to them, it honestly made me so proud to be British. 💜🔥💙
If you want to know what everything they have been through you shoukd watch "BTS HARDSHIPS" by XCELESTE the updated version
When it is a members birthday, Seoul has so many neon lights, and pictures of them across the city... and in all the countries Army purchases advertisment billboards, Saudi, Ukraine, Russia, China, Thailand, Macau, NYC, etc. The animated mv of Bulletproof Eternal (watch it - it flows through all their songs to Boy with love), will make you cry. Forever we are young was at Wembly - Have you watched My Universe that Chris Martin/Coldplay did together? Chris adores them even went to Seoul stayed in quarantine for 2 wks before being able to record the song.
Wow! And I havent watched My Universe but it's on my list!
Just a little correction, he didn't quarantine 2 weeks, by the time he travelled there was a special rule for fully vaccinated foreign visitors in South Korea. He and his team were able to apply for a special exemption so they had a shortened quarantine (I can't remember if it was 24 or 48 hours) and had to stay on only one location during their whole visit
SUGA'S mix tape D-2 got ITUNES #1 thru #10 without promotion or anything. All 10 track she forgot to mention that also he claburattions with Juice Word 2021 after he passed his record company put together his previous recordings and one of track SUGA claburattions with him song called Girl of my Dream and he did claburattions with Halsey on her album called SUGA'S Interu and Max on two songs 1st is his mix tape song call Burn It and 2nd is Max song Blueberry eyes and Produced for so many other singers Korea, Japan. He is most sought after producer in Korea, USA and other Countries too.
Merci Mike 🇫🇷! Thank you so much Mike for making me discover this video! For me, you are already ARMY… Baby ARMY, but ARMY though… Being ARMY doesn’t depend on paying something or registering, or bling merch, it’s a question as affection and admiration and the will to be one in an ARMY… I purple you! Kisses from France! 💜
We could say k-pop is an industry, not genre or category. Inside that industry, there's R&B, pop, rap, jazz, etc... Just like what Americans call French pop.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know this fantastic group! Please react to their MVs and live performances.
Taylor has an earlier version of this that has a more detailed description of bts and each members. Check it out. I’m more new to the boys (77 years old in Alabama US.)Found them through a difficult time. Fell in love with their lyrics and messages and then each individually. They each have given so much.
You should react to BTS Hardships 2013 - 2020 by xCeleste to kinda understand why we are so overprotective of them
26yo here. I was in the crowd during the 1:00:42 clip and it was a beautiful moment. You really see how diverse ARMY is when you go to their concerts. The arena there held various pubs, restaurants and bars within it. Before and after the concert all these spaces were absolutely PACKED with only ARMY in it; strangers drinking and singing BTS karaoke together in the bar, an entire restaurant of people singing the same song over their meals and bursting into laughter, groups of people handing out freebies and collecting for charities. After the concert so many people were crying from those post-concert blues, and groups of fans walking past would run over to comfort them without even knowing them. I can't count the amount of times a complete stranger helped me out that day in some way.
ARMY may seem scary as a force but (as much as saying it makes me want to vom in my mouth) it's a force of love. 💜🐋
Anyway, I am enjoying watching your journey! Maybe one day you'll join the ARMY too? I promise it's not a cult. 😬
Thank you for react and show interest on knowing who is BTS and ARMYS.....Thanks for the respect
