- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 พ.ค. 2021
- Recorded this days ago, and wasn't sure if I was going to post it, but I'm running behind on my schedule after deciding to take a day off. This is my very first time listening to BTS, or any K-Pop. This is one heckuva visually striking song.
Original Video: • BTS (방탄소년단) 'FAKE LOVE...

This video is thematically brilliant!
Hey, so if you actually wish to continue reacting to them can I recommend Black Swan as your next BTS reaction. It's one of my favorites 🖤
I’m subscribing ! Hoping to see you check out more BTS. I recommend “BLACK SWAN” by BTS
All BTS songs are really different. I can't wait to see next.
No CGI in this filmclip.... Check out the making of the MV on BTS YT channel BANGTANTV.... This song relates to the BTS Universe and is part of an overlaying story through many videos, webtoons, books, etc....(That's a whole other world)
You are about to embark down the rabbit hole that is BTS - buickle up and hold on - it will be the best yet craziest ride ever - NOONE regrets meeting BTS!!
For incredible vocals my best recommendation is anything with TaeHyung (V) - his deep voice is full of Jazz and Soul vibes (He's my Bias) - the best example being his Neo-Soul solo
"Singularity" th-cam.com/video/p8npDG2ulKQ/w-d-xo.html (CC button for english subs!!)
PLEASE PLEASE Singularity next!!! you won't regret it!! No one ever does!!
SOLO RAPLINE - RM - "Joke" th-cam.com/video/OxMrBNBWksM/w-d-xo.html
Suga (AgustD) "Daechwita" th-cam.com/video/qGjAWJ2zWWI/w-d-xo.html and "AgustD" th-cam.com/video/3Y_Eiyg4bfk/w-d-xo.html

Please don't hesitate to ask questions - ARMY loves to educate - don't worry that the videos are too long - we love long reactions too - just be honest in your reactions
xCeleste has a range of great videos showing explainations of various BTS things
try "This is BTS" th-cam.com/video/3cESARetI9U/w-d-xo.html and BTS Hardships th-cam.com/video/EdY6wnLsetQ/w-d-xo.html
The rise of BangTan th-cam.com/video/QxAmkAwIEeY/w-d-xo.html is another fan made documentary series.
They are not just a boy band or KPop - they have social consciousness, are charitable, they do a variety show weekly, they have documentary travelogues, they have series and movies of behind the scenes on their concerts - they live stream with us and communicate thru the app weverse with their fans - they have their own channel on youtube "BangtanTV" with over 1400 videos over the last 8 years - lots of MV Making videos, dance practices, interviews, backstage, etc, etc. Their Love for ARMY is legendary.
BTW - I am an ex-fan of heavy metal, hard rap, jazz, indie (my last concert was Iron Maiden!!) - I used to love everything not "boyband" - yet here I am at 49 years of age obsessed with BTS since 2016 - For their lyrics, their music, their performance, their attitudes I support and love them - and the fact that they are really good people trying to make a difference in a hate filled world is the icing on the cake. There is only one BTS!!
ENJOY!!
PS> sorry this is long - but I thought you might be able to use some links...LOL -
I just discovered these guys 3 weeks ago and I can't get enough. Love these guys!!
Welcome to the family! I always love seeing new people fall down the rabbit hole with the boys since they really do deserve all of their fame.
Welcome to the Army! 💜
He's already started down my other favorite groups rabbit hole. Home Free! Thanks for the welcome
WELCOME NEW FAMS! for the last 2 days , i found there were a new group of army comes from BTS x McD meals🤣 they just wanted to eat nuggets at first, and they not even realized they fell into the bts rabbit hole..😅
I've known of their existence for a while, just never bothered to listen. I very rarely go outside of my own musical comfort zone. I'm glad I am now though. This was a great video.
There's a lot of good K-pop, and a lot of songs that bop. But, to be perfectly honest, BTS is on another level.
They are even better live 😁 thank you for reacting to them 💜
I bet. They definitely look like they are better live... not for the music, but I bet their stage shows are phenomenal.
@@DanFromHali sure is
Yes, they are dop. If you want to watch live performance, I suggest you Full Melon Music Award 2019( it a long video , you can part it or make a long reaction) and Magic shop and you ll can see the interaction with the fandom. I m happy that your enjoy your first time. For me I discovered them with Dynamite in august 2020.
Welcome to the BTS universe.
Greetings from France
BTS are the best. The set a new records every day. They've already surpassed kpop, they are now a world class stars, a phenomenon.
Agreed! I no longer consider BTS k-pop. BTS are their own genre. I discovered them a few months ago and listen to them everyday. By the way I'm a 69-year-old dude from Chicago.
Totally agreed
@@markballard9942 woah thats awesome !! Glad to have u part of army !!
So glad you like bts! Here are some recommendations: Black Swan, Blood, Sweat and tears, Spring Day and their newest song Butter :)
Thank you very much for letting me know.
He needs to watch spring day explanation video as well
@@racharamadan6141 AMEN. I've quit watching reactors who second guess the meaning of the songs because they refuse to watch the explanation videos. BTS songwriting is genius, why ignore it? It's what sets them apart from all others.
@@KimmyGibson yes exactly!! It's very useless to react to a music video or a song if you're not willing to understand it
@@KimmyGibson sooo true the lyrics are beautiful
FACTS: NOT just top of Kpop....
TOP of WOLRD POP...
BTS was supposed to be a hip hop group, but they basically have songs in every genre. The group has 3 rappers and 4 vocalists. They are even better live. Thanks for your open minded reaction! 💜💜💜💜
I am so happy that you started with this song. Cause it really shows the depth of Bts. I fell to the fandom after this song, cause the lyrics hit me hard and actually saved me, 43 years old woman, from a toxic relationship. To get to know them better, please check Who is Bts from Xcelestes channel 💜 Bts many songs have deep and meaningful lyrics, but there is also songs made just for fun and to cheer people up. There is ballads, there is full on rap songs, r&b, edm, they are very versitile 💜
They saved me too! Opened my eyes to so much that I was ignoring for so long. My daughter introduced me to them and I think I’m a bigger Army than she is lol.
“Fake Love” is in my top 5 from BTS. Beautiful poetic lyrics and amazing visuals. I love how it’s not necessarily about another person and their fake love, but directed inward and basically telling the story that if you’re not true to yourself or love yourself first, then love of any kind or for anyone will always be ‘fake’ (notice they look in the mirror often). It follows their “Love Yourself” album trilogy’s (3 albums, “Fake Love” is on the 2nd album when the idealized love falls apart and your faced to look inward and self-reflect and question your true self) theme of “Love Yourself” where in the last third album you realize you’re the one you should love and accept the most before you can truly love anyone else. BTS launched the Love Myself campaign with UNICEF to protect children against violence around the release of these albums where part of the proceeds of the 3 albums went to the cause and 100% of sales from their Love Myself merchandise went to the cause as well. I think you’ll enjoy “ON KINETIC MANIFESTO Film” and also the official MV for “ON” which is epic storytelling! 💜
I want you to know that BTS write, composed, produced, sing and dance and many more. They have this talents that amazed every person in the world. Every BTS songs has a deep meanings. They are genius when it comes to music. That's the reason why are they so successful. And as an army(fandom name), we are very proud. We've been through a lot of experiences but that doesn't stop us.
wow. I think you believe this.
@@krisamagus1 Bro BTS is the most documented artists out there and they have credited everybody that contributed to any of their projects and they even paid 2 mil to an artist that inspired them so that they can make a version of the song and released it for free. So no lies from BTS and their team
@@krisamagus1 By what logic should they believe otherwise?
@@krisamagus1
Well you can see that by using your own eyes it isn’t something you imagine sweetheart she said what is known about BTS
@@krisamagus1 not everyone is lazy and talentless like you and me 😛 do some research. You'll find it yourself.
BTS started off with a very heavy hip hop influence, however their musical styles since early on has always been versatile so they do hip hop, rnb, pop, edm, etc.
- No more Dream
- Blood, Sweat & Tears
- MIC DROP
- FIRE
- Not Today
- Black Swan
- Bulletproof pt. 2
- ON
- Dynamite
- BUTTER
* Also, it'd be nice to see you check out their LIVE versions of every songs & dance practice. That's where you will see their choreography really well!!!
I my opinion, he should watch the songs on their MVs before watching performances so he know what they song is about as what it sounds like. I think it makes the experience better.
I think that after watching this, that I think you are right Amber. I'm also a huge cinephile, and really appreciate great cinematography in music videos. So I while I will react to both, I think some of the Music Videos might be more appropriate right now.
@@amberpearce710 Absolutely🙌
@@DanFromHali Go for it! I'm just excited to see you react to more BTS😊
@@DanFromHali Ooh, some of their most cinematic MVs besides Fake Love are Blood Sweat and Tears (probably most cinematic? based on the themes and story of Herman Hesse's novel Demian), Daechwita (SUGA solo track), ON official MV, Save Me (one-take shot, but older), Black Swan, maybe I Need U (for the storytelling).
You should read the translations from doolsetbangtan blog to understand some of the references before watching the MVs! There's also the BU alternate BTS universe storyline that's in addition to the song's story, in their early MVs (through Love Yourself albums). There's also behind the scenes videos of making the MVs :)
This MV is really cool because this song is the title track of the second part of their "Love Yourself" series and they have a lot of scenes that mirror and directly juxtapose "DNA" which is the title track of the first part of the their "Love Yourself" series. DNA talks about fated love and the album is very positive and Fake Love talks about doomed love and the album is very dark.
Also, the writing behind V (the one in the hallway with the cellphones) says "I'm Fine" but flipped upside down, it says "Save Me". Both "I'm Fine" and "Save me" are tracks on BTS albums and "I'm Fine" uses some parts of the beat from "Save Me" but played in reverse.
Thank you for reacting to this!
BTS' MVs are like Movies! No CGI here!
All the details in this MV has significant meaning connected to their ongoing storyline that started in 2015. Glad you enjoyed! 💜
Actually laughing out loud at “I can just imagine what they do for a stage show.” Oh, you have no idea how that was the understatement of the year! BTS is the most talented, hard-working and humble group of young men you will find and they know how to entertain an audience like nobody else!
I accidently clicked on this video, BEST mistake ever. I loved your real reaction to this BTS video. They are one in a million group of artists. 👍👍👍💜
Well thank you for the accident! Aha :)
The lyrics hurt because i can relate... I hope i can love myself one day to love someone else and Stop the fake love and Stop faking who i am
My friend, I've been there. Luckily I have a partner now who shows her true love for me every day. But It can take a while. It was hard for me as a young adult, because two of my close friends are actually married to the people they've been with for 15+ years now, since High School. I've had cheaters, one faked a pregnancy, one tried to kill me, one legitimately tried to cast a curse on me (Not even joking), and then set her apartment on fire. Its been a crazy, wild ride. Hope you get to find your special someone!
Listen to their song Epiphany💜
@@DanFromHali
God bless your heart ..i got married and divorced twice so I understand you so much....i am trying to know myself and feel better every day i love traveling so when everything goes back to normal I will go around the world and do what I love and I know God is with me that’s why I didn’t give up yet...thank you for your words it means a lot to me and sorry for my English ❤️❤️❤️
@@butterbuttersbetter3689
I did my dear..i am a fan of BTS for 8 years now thanks to their positive message
@@jojoahmd123 💜💜💜
There are some of the deeper videos that are explained from korean perspectives. If you fall down the rap side or watch Spring Day, I definitely recommend watching the explanation video right after. Spring Day (mv), Ddaeng, Baepsae, and Ugh are all masterpieces of calls for social justice and/or healing.
BTS write their own stuff and are incredible storytellers, sincere artists and performers, which is one of the reasons they're my favorite, that I set them apart.
On the other hand, like other kpop acts, they are incredible performers, they have cinematic videos and great choreo...if that's your draw, I imagine you'll like a lot of other kpop too.
I'm 38 and a mom of three I recently discovered this group and was hooked! they are absolutely brilliant at what they do and put so much passion into there art, it truly makes you feel something
For a live performance I suggest the MAMA 2019 award show. every member is featured and it really shows their versatility. For beautiful ballads, the Untold Truth and House of Cards live are my favorites.
Hi, some things about this boys.
*Bts Is south Korean group, this days people prefer don't mix them with the term "kpop".
Kpop isn't a genre, Kpop is an industry in Korea that create music for kids/adolescents, and not all singers/rappers/musicians in Korea are "kpop"
1. They are 7, 4 vocalist, 3 rappers (2 underground rappers) all dancers
2. Bts compose and produce in all their albums, so is very personal, they sing about mental health, politics, society, their fans, self love, etc
3. They have a story behind their videos so is difficult to new people understand, we (the armys) used to read and search to understand the link in their videos. Their last album for example was "map of the soul: 7" and is inspired by the psychologist book the map of the soul by Carl Jung.
4. The army love them because they are good people who started from a company in bankruptcy, and even being famous they stay humble.
5. They have a lot of genres but their base is very hiphop / rap. Also you can find subtitles in every possible language thanks to the fans, u only need to search with the name of the song or Activate cc.
**Bts always present themselves as a Korean group, and always said they don't want to be labeled in a genre or industry. The fans also do not want to be mixed with kpopers, (most of us aren't kpop fans) we don't have the same ideals. Not because we like a group from korea that means we like all from that country.
Welcome to the BTS world! IF you had no prejudice, you would meet the whole different world! I really appreciate your open mind!! Next, Black Swan, Butter, On(Kinetic manifesto film) and Mic Drop, plz. You will see how versatile they are! All their MV has top-norch production value and their live performances are better than MV!!!
This is probably one of my favorite MVs to show newer people. The visuals and choreo are incredible. What really catches a lot of people off guard are the lyrics. They're so incredibly deep and a lot of people can relate with them.
I have to gladly admit, I'm glad you started with this one instead of their recent ones (not that the recent ones aren't good) but this is one of the many that showcases more of in depth of who they are in terms of cinematography, choreography, lyricism and complexity in their MV. Thank you for reacting to this one!
BTS is the biggest musical group on the planet. They've broken records that had been held by the Beatles for over 50 years. They're a once in a rare while phenomenon. I'm 59, and I have watched musical groups and singers come and go. I believe that BTS is one of the groups that will have longevity, both as a group, and individually. They deserve every bit of their success, they worked their butts off for it after all.
Goodluck to your BTS / Kpop Journey ☺ I personally Love BTS 💜💜💜 I dont know exactly what you like , but I recommend MIC DROP ft. Steve Aoki . THANKYOU FOR YOUR REACTION btw☺
I have a super eclectic taste in music. I'm all over the place, and the music I "don't like" I still appreciate. Thank you for the comment.
Thank you for checking out BTS’ Music. They have a lot to offer in music and they have amazing personalities that makes us Fans more connected to them. Please check out more songs. Some Recommendations: Black Swan, Your Eyes Tell, ON Kinetic Manifesto Film, House of Cards, Blood Sweat and Tears.
Thank you and I hope you keep reacting to BTS. There is SO much content from the last 8 years since their debut. What a journey! Welcome 💜❣️💜
Love em so far :)
just a tip
if there is a bts mv, there is a good chance that it has a dance practice
it will be an amazing experience for you if you watch both of them back to back
good part? they wont copy right strike you if you give credits, and even if they do, you can fight back and they'll take it back. sometimes youtube algorithms are just bad :)
I started following BTS since last November. I went fully ARMY, love these guys. Their catalog is impressive and massive. Welcome to the rabbit hole!
Loved your reaction as it seemed that you were really surprised at their talent.
Hope you find out more about them and realise they are far beyond the label Kpop. They’ve done recent songs sung completely in English and totally retro pop with Micheal Jackson Bruno Mars vibes - and people still call it Kpop 🙄.
Sorry for the rant 🤣💕
I wouldn't say surprised at their talent. I was surprised that it was more line watching a movie than just listening to a song. And I was reacting more to the cinematography and thematic elements of the video than the music.
@@DanFromHali You should react to Agust D (one of the members of BTS) - daechwita if you want to see cinematic work
I can recommend you to watch their music video for the song- Black Swan, that is a song about the fear of losing their passion for their singing and dancing. I really think you will love that one. I also recommend the music video of : ON Kinetic manifesto. Great song and awesome dancing. They are very versatile in their music and also have more rap based songs. There are 3 rappers and 4 singers in the group which makes them able to really be creative with their music.
Thank you so much for reacting to BTS! Sugar (one of the rappers, writers & producers in the group) has said several times if you listen with an open mind, you will like their music. If you like good storytelling with music these guys are up there & their music spans all genres. Welcome to the BTS Rabbit Hole. I do want you to know from the outset that BTS are very multi layered storytellers, they are like onions, you have peel away the layers. To the casual or new person watching this, the song is about exactly what it says "Fake Love" or bad relationships. The one at the beginning trying to protect the flower when the room is imploding, the flower is a relationship that blooms but then becomes destructive, thus it turning into sand. Some of their dance moves mimic the old adage...see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil & one member mimics controlling the others like marionettes..basically denial that the other person is controlling. One member laying on the candy bars...eating chocolate is known to release the same endorphins (in a smaller dose) of what we feel when we are happy in love, etc. There are more but I will spare you....You peel away that Top layer and all those things have an even deeper meaning in the music video. There are many music videos over a span of many albums where when you watch them in a certain order they are telling one big overarching story. This is known as the Bangtan Universe - The B.U.
When you get ready to go further down the rabbit hole & have learned who is who in the group let us know. ARMY is here to guide you with helping hands & loving hearts. For now though we are excited to be with you on this new journey of just exploring the group and their music. Sorry for the long post! Have fun!
There are many wonderful songs ranging across every genre made by BTS. You're watching a music video the falls within the Bangtan Universe (BU) hence the heavy cinematic storytelling elements and symbolism. There are groups of highly educated individuals who analyze and draw connections between their published content and although it's not something I focus on personally, it is amazing to follow.
They are born performers. Other people give better intros to them than I so I really recommend you give some introduction videos a watch. This will help you understand their background, path and struggles to make it where they are now. There is enough content to make your head spin.
If you're wondering what their live shows are like...I highly recommend 2019 MMA performance. When I was a new fan, my jaw hit the floor with the performance. So good.
BTS es un grupo muy completo,,, las letras de sus canciones son maravillosas, su música es muy variada. Bienvenido al mundo de BTS. Te vas a volver ARMY en poco tiempo. Me suscribo
Glad you enjoyed BTS, their style and songs vary immensely. Some examples: ON, Mic Drop, Black Swan, Bulletproof, and so much more.
Soooooo......a couple of tips to join this Fandom (ARMY):
1: BTS has a storyline within there videos fake love is a part of it.
2: it is impossible to UNDER analyze anything.
3: Army's are protective of our boys I'm sure you will understand more about this you decide to continue down the rabbithole .
4: they have many different genres so if you don't like a genre just change the song lol.
5: LOTS and LOTS of inside jokes and slang.
6: I purple you is basically the equivalent to saying ...I love and trust you...Or ... I would gladly sacrifice myself so you can live.....
7: ARMYS will help anyone willing to learn about the boys so if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask 👌.
8: THANKS FOR BEING HONEST AND WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!!!!💜💜💜
I love your reaction! If you want to get to know them, there are some introduction videos you can watch and react to as well like This Is BTS by xCeleste or BTS vs. Kpop: a video essay. Among others. As far as music videos go, I'd recommend Blood Sweat & Tears for sure. And Spring Day, but for that one I would definitely recommend watching an explanation video by bulletproof vibes, because that song is based on a tragedy in Korea that you might not know about.
Welcome to BTS every song is a treat and surprise. You will love them they are amazing
There’s K-Pop and then there’s BTS
BTS is its own genre
Rap, R&B, Pop......etc
Glad you are watching it is an amazing journey
Most of the MV have stories and intertwine with each other
They are amazing artists
Loved the reaction!! Hope to see more :)
Its super cool you picked up the hiphop vibes, because originally they were gonna be a hiphop group! The first 2 members of the group were underground rappers in koreas hiphop scene, but they debuted in 2013 as a k pop group (3 rappers, 4 vocalists)
Also, they definetly werent exaggerating, BTS is grammy nominated and just won all 4 awards they were nominated for at the BBMAs. Most people dont even call BTS k pop nowadays, because theyre so beyond that original industry. Each member is super involved in writing and producing and composing songs, so they have a suuuuper wide range of genres within their music and often release solo songs or mixtapes for extra artistic freedom even while staying as a group.
Theyre also all really close, and even tho their now millionaires and beyond successful (Theyre from a super small, almost bankrupt company so were real underdogs) they still live together and two members are even still roomates.
Some song suggestions : Life goes on (MV), On Kinetic manifesto film, Baepsae (Live) and their newest song Butter! But at this rate youve probably heard butter in the radio and not even noticed lmao
Thanks for being so open-minded. Nice to see a fellow Nova Scotian get into them! I'm over 40 and adore them. I was lucky enough to see them with my daughter in 2018 and they are astonishing live performers. Their music is so rich - they tackled social issues like the harsh school system in Korea, unfair expectations on young people, self-esteem and mental health, the nature of art, Jungian psychology, etc. They have songs that are just fun too, but mainly super meaningful. They work in albums, not singles, and they seriously don't have any bad songs. They've become a huge comfort to so many people around the world. Have fun going down the rabbit hole!
BTS are amazing. They are incredible live! You're going to enjoy this journey! Thanks for checking them out.
BTS are the best in the world , they are awesome 💜💜💜🔥
Army forever
You feel that you're watching a movie becahse this MV ties into their inner universe known as the Bangtan Universe. Each scene here represents what their characters faced in earlier MVs. Basically, Jin is trying to make their universe perfect. So he keeps time traveling. But it is never right.
Thank you for giving them a chance, this song was in their Love Yourself series, the 'fake love' here can be about relationship or even about deceiving yourself, so that's why part of lyrics said "i hope love was perfect as love itself, and i grow a flower that can't bloom in a dream that can't come true". RM once said you can't really love someone if you don't love yourself first, because if you pretend to be someone else in a relationship, you'll end up hurting each other. the artwork in the backgroun at the beginning was see no evil, hear no evil, say no evil, so in the chorus choreography you'll see them covering their eyes, ears and mouth.
For your next song, can you please react to BTS Spring Day and the explanation video? It was soo good. Thank you :)
Hi , thank you for listening to bts 💜
😉
Intro:
BTS = Beyond the scene (in English) = Bangtan Seoyeondan (in Korean) aka Bulletproof Boy Scouts (translated)
7 members
(3 rappers & 4 vocalists) RM , Jin , Suga , J-hope , Jimin , V , Jungkook
purple is BTS and ARMY color
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
the fans : "ARMY" = Adorable representative m.c of youth = the fans
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
💜 They cover lots of different genres, so, hopefully, you find the ones that are according to your style.that’s why we say “ bts -genres”
Here's something for the beginners😉💜:
Turn on the CC (Eng sub). (Wordplays are amazing).
Watch BTS or any mixtape produced by
HYBE Label / Bangtantv
(HYBE is the company name but it used to be Big Hit ). You can start from there.
and for some songs you will not find the MV because it's a B-side of the album but you can watch the lyrics video
Always watch from start to the very end of each video. No SKIPPING. Never ever assume video ends. (You might missed out on the crucial message)
WE 💜love💜 it if you get to know them by watching:
1) Introduction to BTS👇
th-cam.com/video/3cESARetI9U/w-d-xo.html
2) WHO IS BTS (the 7 members)
Not updated but, still the best introduction and in fun way) 👇
th-cam.com/video/xu0IfBvZMRs/w-d-xo.html
NOTE: even if you react to an hour long video of BTS, ARMY will still stay throughout the whole thing. We live to see YOUR journey.
3) BTS From nobodies to legends 👇
th-cam.com/video/SrI4AvkABm4/w-d-xo.html
4) BTS Hardships 👇
th-cam.com/video/EdY6wnLsetQ/w-d-xo.html
5) BTS contribution to music
th-cam.com/video/sBuKOYYanRk/w-d-xo.html
All music videos, have meanings/theories/explanations if you need to understand further.
You can refer to:
Dkdktv or Xceleste
(they tend to make it simpler for you to understand)
All mvs have behind the scenes if you want to know whether they use CGI or real props (mainly real).
All songs have deep or even double meanings. That's the reason why ARMY's 💜LOVE💜 the lyrics of every song.
BTS have a music storyline
(BU content/fictional story) that might be too much to digest for someone who is new to BTS. Imagine how many of us are learning stuffs like psychology, going through books, making up theories here and there.
They have lots of songs (abt 300).
They have Korean albums and Japanese albums.
There are mixtapes, cyphers, solos, covers, commercials, collaborations,
amazing LIVE performances, OST, storyline, Webtoon,
own variety shows like
Bon Voyage, Run BTS (more than 100 episodes), Burn the stage, ...
The members also have anime characters of themselves called the "Tiny Tan".
Also another cute bunch of characters that they created called BT21.
Advise:
ARMYs tend to get excited once they find your channel and start requesting to react to the epic, LIVE performance or Award shows.
Do note, try not to watch the LIVE performance (such as MAMA OR MMA the award shows) too soon.
In my opinion, Live performances are best watched once you have seen the mv itself or at least know the songs before you see LIVE version . That way, your journey will be a lot more fulfilling/worthwhile.
Again, that was just my opinion.
Anyway, I understand if you react to other stuffs too. So, yes, take your time in knowing BTS. Do at your own pace. It is your channel.
The info that we give is to show you HOW & WHY,
we(ARMY) 💜love💜 BTS
Good luck!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜sorry it's long 😋
bts arent just at the top of kpop, they are at the top of music industry.
Welcome to ARMY! Can't wait to see more reactions of them. You'll find they are truly so much more than "KPop". They are in a league of their own... rap, ballads, hop hop, love songs, movie title tracks, EDM... the list goes on and on. And oh, they speak/sing in Korean, Japanese and English. Trust me you won't be disappointed. 😁😁👍👍
BTS, you better prepare yourself for this journey. They will never ever let you go!
Glad you enjoyed this! They also just recently released a song in English called Butter, which is a total bop! You should also check out their songs Black Swan and ON Kinetic Manifesto
I love your reaction. Welcome in the beginning of your BTS journey ! I'm 57 years old, and I can say I never fall in love for a group as much as for BTS, even with my beloved Queen. They are mindblowing singers, rappers, dancers, and performers, they all participated in the song writing/producing process, most of their songs have beautiful lyrics with deep meanings , and as you can see, the music video are perfect ! Like a movie. I think you should enjoy : Blood, Sweat and Tears; Black Swan ; ON (the official MV, very symbolic, who feat the most with the meaning of the lyrics, and the Kinetic Manifesto Come prima, with choreo and marching band, witch is ... incredible !) ; More hip hop vibes : Not Today; NO (an old one, but so good ! ) ; maybe Film out : it's the theme song of a japanese movie , the MV is amazing !
Welcome to Kpop. You know, what westerners (myself included) call 'kpop' is called 'idol music' in Korea because it's a package of audio and visual components: music, dance, fashion & beauty. It's usually a mix of genres, as you noticed. And BTS crosses all genres. When RM, the leader of BTS, spoke on his vlive about the song, he said it started out very dark and grunge-like, but they had to accommodate the members' voices which are very high. So the end product sounds almost nothing like the original demo.
BTS constantly surprise us. No 2 songs are alike.
💜 Great reaction. BTS is the best! That was all done without CGI. I look forward to seeing more BTS reactions from you.
they do all different kind of genres, and they are involved with the creation of their music! you are in for a ride.
Thank you for liking their music, they're for sure great musicians, dancers and much more, I am sure you will enjoy your BTS journey they have so many contents you can't be bored :) and welcome to you future Army 💜💜
Kpop in general is very visual and MV's, style/wardrobe and dance all play a big role. All kpop artists put a lot into their MV's but BTS does go further and encorporate a storyline through many of their MV's and songs too. Unlike many other kpop groups they write and produce many of their songs themselves with assistance from in house producers and writers. They actively promote socio-economic issues, literature, the arts, psychology and mental health/self love in their lyrics and content too. The hiphop vibe you felt stems from their early roots which were predominantly hiphop and rap based before they evolved to the fusion of genres that is BTS of today. Welcome to the rabbit hole Dan!
This is such a good one to start with because it really does show off their storytelling chops!
BTS was originally a Korean hip hop group. Since 2013 they have evolved into a unique genre of their own. These are all the BTS “official” music videos in reverse order of release. Does not include live or other versions.

There are often several versions of the Official" music video.
The "Ioniq: I'm On It" is a promotional song for Hyundai. But you barely notice the car because the mv & song are so good; similar style as "Film Out"
"Come Back Home" was released on July 4, 2017 as remake of Seo Taiji’s song "Come Back Home" for Seo Taiji 25th Anniversary Remake Project.
“With Seoul” is a BTS song and film highlighting Seoul as a vacation spot. The original also shows them recording it. They have also done 3 other versions, including a “short” on 2020-09-11; a beautiful drone visual of Seoul (The Four Seasons of Seoul” on 2019-12-30, & an amazing drone visual mv on 2021-01-09.
My personal favorite "other version" video is "DANGER (Mo-Blue-Mix) , featuring THANH". Thanh is an Australian-Vietnamese singer. This song has a R&B vibe with some great lyrics added by Thanh.
There are loads of their other songs including some of my favorites: “Dionysus”, “Ma City”, “Truth Untold”, ”Outro: Tear”, “House of Cards”, “Lost”, “Dimple”, “Butterfly”, etc. and their solo, rapline, vocal line, short films, comeback trailers, etc. not included.
Great reaction, thanks for giving BTS a chance.
The captions in English here are poetry. They fit beautifully.
Welcome to BTS! I think the consensus among most ARMY (fan base) for live performances is the MMA 2019 Award Show. BTS was given the last 30 minutes of the show to bring their best and let me tell you, it is simply amazing. (Reactors LOVE it) It will give you a look into the different genres of music they make (I think there are 5 songs) and it is based on philosopher Carl Jung's 'Map of the Soul'. I have always been a fan of MJ productions, but BTS, I believe, is on his level, maybe even better. Please react to the whole thing at one time if you can to get the full effect. Another tip: There is a channel called DKDKTV that does explanation videos of BTS songs from a Korean's perspective. Most of us watch to understand what the English lyrics REALLY mean .... you'll be wowed by their genius songwriting because the lyrics just skim the surface and we enjoy seeing your reaction to the real interpretation of the songs!! Suggest, do a song followed by the explanation, if there is one. Looking forward to your journey, ARMY grandma, Subscribed.
BTS 리액션 너무 좋아요 ~

Welcome to this deep beautiful rabbit hole, known as the BTS journey. Your reaction was great. I can't wait to see more BTS reactions from you.
Welcome to the incredible world of BTS. Like your initial reaction you are overwhelmed visually and audibly by the emotion you feel from their video. The old and the new videos take you to new emotions and each one is so satisfying, because you always want more. The closest analogy I can compare their popularity to would be the Beatles at their peak. A worldwide sensation that builds with each new song they release. Buckle up the ride is just beginning…
Hey Millard, I've definitely been enjoying my time reacting to BTS. They are fantastic. And yes their popularity does mirror the beatles as I am reading in to them.
Loved your reaction! This is my absolute favorite song by them so it means so much that you said such good things and felt for this song!!
Welcome in this wonderful world ! Hours and hours of happiness and interest wait for you ! Thank you for this reaction ! 💜 I had exactly the same reaction hearing and watching BTS for the first time with the same Fake Love ! 💜
OMG the TARDIS behind you 🥺🥺
I knew somebody who likes doctor who would have taste and like BTS as well
Thank u so much for reacting! And there is also one thing that not all k-pop music will be like this cauz BTS is actually making their own pop-genre music💜🤣
Well a lot of pop in general sounds different, so that fine. That's music.
Great choice for your first BTS reaction. Fake Love was the first song i heard from them back in 2018 during Billboard Music Award. Got me hooked ever since..
They all have solo stuff too. Between that and the group music...they cover every genre.
THEY ARE THE TOP…do the deep dive…NOT a boy band, a MAN BAND & oooo what PERFECTLY, BEAUTIFUL MEN they are!!
Great reaction, looking forward to more!
Thanks for checking out BTS. They ARE the best group from Korea but they are much more than k-pop. Their videos are like movies. And know that the lyrics always mean more than you think. And love songs are almost always to their devoted fans, called ARMY.
Not a problem, I'm a fan. Make sure you check out my other two BTS reactions, Marilyn.
thanks for reacting to this video. lots of BTS' songs and videos to react to.
Boy With Luv is my favorite feel good BTS song. Great fun choreography too. You can enjoy their official colorful video that features singer Halsey or their slightly more subdued (but no less charming) performance for the Dear Class of 2020 special.
I love your analysation BTS has very cinematic music videos and I personally never really cared about that until I watched BTS. A lot of their music videos also follow a storyline that comes together as one big story it's super interesting!
It's okay. BTS Being at the top is indisputable. Not just among other Korean acts either. They outsold even western artists last year.
Great reaction!
BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan which means Bulletproof boy scouts) is a group from South Korea with 7 members.
- 4 vocalists, 3 rappers
- their fans are called the A.R.M.Y. (adorable representative M.C. for youth)
- they have so many different genres (pop, ballads, rap, hi-hop, R&B...)
- they have a songs called Dynamite and Butter which are their only full english songs but in every song there are always some phrases in english
- they're writing their own lyrics (sometimes with help of people from their company)
- in their songs they're talking about so many important topics! (self love, bullying, social economic injustices, hard work, following your dreams and so so so so much more)
- turn on the captions when youre reacting to them
MEMBERS:
(in Korea, last name comes first)
Kim Namjoon
Stage name: RM (stands for real me)
-rapper, leader
Kim Seokjin
Stage name: Jin
- vocalist, visual, oldest (28, in Korea 29)
Min Yoongi
Stage name: Suga
Solo stage name: Agust D
- rapper
Jung Hoseok
Stage name: J-hope
- rapper, sub-vocalist, dancer
Park Jimin
Stage name: Jimin
- vocalist, dancer
Kim Taehyung
Stage name: V (stands for victory)
- dancer, vocalist, visual
Joen Jungkook
Stage name: Jungkook
- sub-rapper, vocalist, dancer, youngest (23, in Korea 24)
All of them are also producers, songwritters and composers but the rappers are the main ones. They all have solo songs, some of them have their own mixtapes and all of them are amazing dancers. Rappers can sing pretty well when they're not goofing around and the same goes for vocalist and rap.
I really liked your reaction!!! Thank you!
I'm glad you like it. I promise you that BTS songs are very good. Their lyrics, music, choreography and cinematic are all very good. Here are some of my recommendations for you if you would like to get to know them:
Who is Bts? The 7 member of bangtan (Introduction)
and for songs:
Fire
Mic Drop
Daechwita (from agust d one of the rapper in Bts)
Dynamite
For live singing:
Bts Tiny desk (live concert)
They are very talented performers with good personalities. Their goal is to spread self-love to us through their musics. 😊💜
Saw you on my recommended. Welcome to the rabbit hole that is BTS! It's an amazing journey I promise.
Their videos are honestly the most stunning MVs I've ever seen, and their live performances are even better!
No matter what genre of music you're into, BTS will always have something you'll enjoy. They literally do everything.
Also, I recognize that shirt! We're from the same place! There's quite a few BTS fans here!
Anyway, I subbed! It's great to see a reactor from here!
Ohhhhh, JIMIN…GORGEOUS MAN!
Welcome to the rabbit hole.....enjoy the journey. I fell in 2018 & haven't looked back once.
I'm glad you like them.... I'll give you many many recommendations like "ON" and their live concerts are mind blowing 💯❤️
Im here bcoz of bts and thank u for ur nice reaction god bless
Yep they started as a hip hop group it's still a big part of who they are.
BTS is koreas pride.
Loved your reaction to Fake Love! Great commentary. Glad you caught the theatrical brilliance. This particular video actually has several explanation videos because it is connected to a very complex storyline called the Bangtan Universe (BU) that connects several of their albums’ concepts. BTS has some of the best lyrical wordplay and musical depth to their discography. 🔥 They are famous for leaving easter eggs in all their content. The hidden references and theorical connections they make are sometimes mindblowing. It’s why ARMYs call it the “BTS Rabbit Hole” and partly why we are so engaged with the guys. 😂
Hope you explore further. These 7 men are some of the most resilient, multifaceted, intelligent, yet humble artists I have ever known. They truly are something special.
Some tips/suggestions for you:
Please remember to use the *ENG CC* for official MVs; most of their MVs have it except for the older stuff. If it’s a live performance and it says “auto-translate”, DO NOT USE. It’ll be wrong.
If you decide to use lyric videos for songs that dont have mv’s, then I highly suggest using either *Zaty Farhani* or *af taehyung* for more accurate translations. (Jaeguchi or Lemoring channels tend to be wrong in translations or line distribution because they rush to post as soon as a song drops.)
Best lyric translation sites tho are
1. *Doolset* - best/preferred - has Korean cultural references and context for lyrics added in doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com
2. *Muish* muish.wordpress.com/bts-directory-of-ramblings/
3. *Wisha* - doyoubangtan.wordpress.com
4. *BangtanSubs* website - general website, great resource for the older BTS videos that are still not subtitled www.bangtansubs.com/lyrics
5. *CafeArmy* another resource, including lyrics cafearmy.wordpress.com/category/lyric-translations/
There are also some great breakdowns by some Korean TH-cam channels. My favorites are *MiniDance* (she has a great one on RM’s solo SEOUL) and *DKDKTV* (esp for rapline’s DDAENG, UGH)
Theres also ARMY theory channels like *Bookish Theories* if you really wanna dive DEEP later in your journey. Again, thank you so much for your reaction! 💜
Thank you for reacting to BTS, waiting for more. You,ll be aware that their song lyrics are amazing & touching. Am not sure tho if the other "kpop" groups are at par w/ them... ( imho ).
You don't have to be a fan of BTS to recognize that they are the biggest boyband in the world right now and most definitely the biggest Kpop group,
OK! My first encounter. Thought I was too old lol.
Very impressive 👏
Just watched your first reaction to BTS. Have no idea if you have done more after this but I will definitely watch and see. Liked your honest calm reaction. I live BRS since the “ found me” in Jan 2021. Believe me once you start this journey there’s no turning back. Hopefully you’ve watched more so I can follow 💜💜 ( Purple Heart for Army( BTS fans)
Bts the best thank you for the reaction 😀
Welcome to the BTS world! They have 300+ tracks in their discography (and don't forget their solo works in SoundCloud), and there are quite literally endless contents from them. Enjoy the rabbit hole!
Also if you are into drama/theater aspect of music videos (MV), check out their making MV videos as well; most of the things you think computer graphic, they do real in the sets. For example, the water, fire, and falling ground scenes in Fake Love MV were done real in the set. Pretty cool, right?
I am sure I won't be dissapointed. And yeah that is great, everybody has been saying that. And I'm a fan of great cinematography. It was different for me to go in to this and react more to the visuals, like I was reacting to a movie, rather than a song.
Recommendations??? ..i have 87 favourite songs of them..what can i say?? And imagine my base is rock..no words for this artists
Great video!
