Same here! That breaks my heart every time. JK was so innocent and didn’t understand why they weren’t accepting the burgers. BTS are bigger people than I am. I don’t think I could go back and be as nice as our men were when they returned. Did that guy ever apologize? I don’t remember.
@@Mrs.L.44 I don't know whether he publicly apologized or not, but in the You Quiz episode, Jk mentions that he had texted Jk before the show. Maybe he did.
Young and broke JK innocently and excitedly bringing hamburgers to be kind and thoughtful only just to get atrociously ridiculed burned a forever sadness in my soul I don't think I'll ever get over.
Now you understand why ARMY is so protective of BTS, still to this day anties (haters and other fandoms) will mock them and team up to bring them down. But ARMY will protect them till the end of days!!! Borahae!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
@@tessadewaard3780 wait.. when you replied with APOBANPO again, it felt like a cult greeting for some reason😅 I can't stop laughing at my thought😂✋ I watched the kdrama "Glitch" a few days ago. The people in a cult in that greet each other with saying "may the light be with you" Maybe it's still in my head😭
@0109_Steph as a newbie, I've been seeing it😔they are trying but they won't succeed!! From what I've seen Army is strong, those stupid antis will not win!!
‘War of Hormones’ is a bop! There is nothing misogynistic about that song whatsoever. FWIW, I have a bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Social Sciences
For real, and it was analyzed years later and proved that it was not misogynistic. The analysis stated that the girl chose Taehyung in the end because of all the guys, he was the one who was most respectful towards her (in the MV)
compared to the way they have K pop girls dance around like sex workers in Europe , War of hormones is polite. It was nonsense drummed up by big 3 paid haters is my guess.
People what just jealous of them. They worked for a small company and they looked down on them. So glad they are so popular now. Throw this in the face of those haters.
My prayers for these talented hard working men. I am an 80 yr. Old grandmother and wish BTS could read this. Recently I lost my kind and loving gramdson who told me at age 9 " I wish i could find out what is wrong with me" This frightened me, I told him " Christian, there is nothing wrong with you. He grew to be so handsome. He struggled with drugs. We tried to help and love him. I pray BTS problems with fools will prove they are strong. Im ill with a bone disease, my husband, dog, and grandson all have passed. I watch UTUBE so I can see Jimin's beautiful dances. V is young with a deep old soul, I can understand his love of music and love his latest JAZZ SONG. Kookie is full of life, love and multi talented. All these men are intelligent and enjoyed for their talents. Suga, love your sexy voice and look. Blessings to all of you. Linda in Kansas
I will say it's important to know that the burgers were in fact leftovers. They were still overly mean about it, but I feel like most people don't realize the context of it. Jungkook didn't spend his own money on it, it was money from his team on that particular game show. Jungkook's team had enough money to buy food while the other team didn't, so they brought the "leftovers" back for the other team. They were still mean though about it, but context is important.
@@swainmoneyy Seriously!Imagine if the other members were there on that scene with the burgers andJungkook. He was literally a child there(like 17-18 years old or so).. His brothers would have defended him or atleast comforted him....But he was all alone in that show
@@aprilmiller4413 yes. Obviously you cannot find any videos for that cause who would take videos?? But it is seen from pictures..How usually the members all have different fancy outfits..but after the death thereat Jimin got, Jin wore the same outfit.
That was a rumor and is NOT true. They just made an April Fools prank with those green sweaters. Please check your information before you spread them (not trying to be rude, but there are a lot of rumors who were confirmed as untrue, but still people spread them. Another example is that Yoongi said „When we disband I will look during the motivation speech.“ He never said that either.)
The conversation between the political commentators was about how BTS threatens the existence of the music industry since BTS grew as huge as thry are WITHOUT them. Those Kpop companies and media fear them because they cannot compete against us (ARMY) which is how BTS became as bug as they are. That’s why BTS loves ARMY so much. They recognize that they would nit have reached so many people around the world without their fandom. The US music industry is also included in that. Grammys, Billboards, etc… fear them too because they make no money off them. BTS does not pay for radio play or to any music company at all, so in both Korea and the US, no one except HYBE (BigHit) and BTS, makes money from them. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Pure jealousy!!
That is exactly how I feel. Plus BTS is used on music shows for higher ratings. The guys never forget where they started, what it took to get where they are or those who believed in them. Humble and respectful
I’am a 69 yrs old grand who found BTS during Covid. Now, you know why “ army” are very, very, protective of them. 3 big companies & the media try to stop them b/c those companies have a hold on the media.& everything else .💜💜💜. Now those who look down on them will be part of BTS history. You are right they did everything organically
I'm about to turn 58 and discovered BTS in the last three months, I LOVE THEM and am amazed at the things they can do and have accomplished. Each and every member is so extraordinary! Don't even get me started on the relationship between BTS and their ARMY though, it's beautiful and awe inspiring! This group seems to care more about their fans than any other I've ever even heard of and that is saying something. More power to BTS and ARMY, show those stupid haters up for how shallow and disgusting they are!
What really baffled me, was they were so young, just kids, they were working hard, they were not given anything. Adults, adults were spewing and pouring out, leading the hate towards BTS, trying to kill their dreams. That was shocking to see, just heartbreaking. I was definitely not and still not completely familiar with fandoms (I, myself am just a fan of artists), but to see them team up against BTS just to try to stop them, OMG! I am so grateful that BTS had/has ARMY!!!! I am so happy that they stuck with it. It's annoying to see how much they had to go through to achieve what they did and to see now, other artists taking the world platform that BTS provided for K Pop, not acknowledge them, act like they did it on their own. I could keep going...so infuriating. I am so grateful for ARMY being there for BTS, truly. Thank you for sharing.
It’s so upsetting that people to this day try to block bts, it was so hard back then being an army and having to fight every single day just so that these guys can keep uplifting others. I still remember bts’ first grand prize, staying up til 5-6am through hours of trash stages just to see my guys take home a very much earned award. I’m just happy that they’ll continue to succeed.
It makes my blood boil to still see people disregard bts, undermining their achievements and just straight up putting them down. As armys yall, we need to be there for bts. KEEP STREAMING AND VOTING GUYS !!!
This video was actually moving, I literally cried I pray that our black and other communities of color continue to stick together and continue to show love to one another. We need to lean on one another. BTS deserves their flowers and their success. Them filling a spot wasn’t coincidental it was destined from the most high that their light shines & will continue to shine. They earned their respect around the globe of those who really stand with them #WeStandWithBTS 💙🤍💛
What’s funny about the SK companies complaining about BTS is that they kind of started it themselves. The companies refused/blocked them from promotions and performances so Big Hit came up with a work around -social media, their own game shows etc. Which helped fans develop a strong bond that they may not have had otherwise- or as quickly. And it made BTS fight harder which only benefited them. Now the SK companies (and others around the world) are jealous of their success and are back to trying to sabotage BTS. So go head, do your thing because we all know(!!!!!) it will only make them stronger and come out on top!!
I am ARMY and I'm 76 in June. They came into my life when I was in a very dark place and still am but they keep me going every day. These beautiful young men have been to hell and back from bullying and death threats as young teenagers!! How the F**K can people be so cruel!!! I don't mind admitting that I cried throughout this video. 😭 ARMY will always support BTS. They are very special young men. I adore them. Borahae from Australia 🇦🇺 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜✨️
Thank you Army for taking care of our humble, talented, well dissevered young Men BTS. I will always pray for health, safety, and keeping BTS close in GODS arms. I LOVE these guys so much.
so much to take in with this video, but it all boils down to jealousy, people who have nothing better to do than hate, and power struggles. The thing with JK and the hamburgers gets me every time. He was a teenage boy and they were adults. Shame on them for treating a child with anything but kindness. And then later as the same show host has the nerve to be involved with them again, JK shows his own maturity by greeting him kindly and with forgiveness. This is what they always do - they take the high road and don't sink down to the level of the haters. Makes me love them more. Thank you for your compassionate reaction.
Unfortunately still to this day HATE, XENOPHOBY , DISCRIMINATION against BTS keep going to bring them down. Once RM said that they feel like ALIENS because it seems that they're not part of Korea (not accepted)neither part of the occident. But one thing is sure THEY'RE PART OF ARMY OF THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!!Thank you so much for your honest , respectful reaction.💜💜💜
BTS Please acknowledge the creator our Lord God that HE'S always by all your sides. These ARMY you have at your back are people that probably GOD gave you to be your part by protecting you all from people who have bad heart who try to get you down 'coz of envy they have. May God bless' you all my dear sons.
15:24 we still buy albums. BTS have sold millions of physical albums & they do it with out using bundles (when artists bundle a physical album with merch or concert tickets - which btw counts towards album sales for the billboard charts) 💜
1:36 bts released a book past year that can cover some of the gaps One passage that stuck with me was a story v (taehyung) told in it. After attending an award show where they were either ignored or mocked by other idols he said, “we all got into the van together... Someone was crying, someone was getting really mad, and someone just couldn't speak. That unspeakable disappointment and that tear jerking emotion was too much.” There's somethings you just have to hear from the person that experienced them. Maybe you could react to each chapter
What an excellent idea! I don’t know of any TH-camrs reacting to the book. I am fairly new to this channel, but seeing how thorough and caring this video was handled, I believe he would do a good job. 💜
Can you imagine telling your beloved Army that the reason you've been acting sad and "not yourself" is because your grandma died....And because you showed emotion and couldn't hold back your tears....you later received death threats?? Its unfathomable! It must have broken Taehyung's innocent and pure heart. 🥺😢
I appreciate your reaction. I’m 64, I discovered BTS about 8 years ago while eating lunch at work. I started watching videos on you tube and there they were. My first thought, was damn these little Asian boys can dance. Honestly I didn’t hear the song just recognized their talent. I sent the clip to my daughter and we’ve been hooked ever since. Recognizing their talent, then their hearts. And they can sang! I’m Army.
Thank you for all of your comments, BTS sure needs all of our support. They are amazing young men that deserves to be treated better. No wonder some of them suffer depression and anxiety. We need to pray for them.
Basically, it's their hearts we relate too. They have always stood for equality for everyone, love yourself, love one another, dream big and reach your dream. Also they have prometed heavily for mental health. We, as ARMY, protect them the only way we can, through Twitter, instagram and any social media we can use. They are what they seem, sweet, kind, endearing, talented, loving, talented. If they didn't have the talent to back up their fan world they would not still be going after more than 10 years and counting. Let the haters hate. Let the jealous be jealous. We will always be here for the guys, to lift them up when others try to tear them down. Just like all there messages teach. Just like I hope our whole world will one day be. No hate, just alot of love and acceptance.❤❤
Knowing the hardships that they had to go through makes me respect them as individuals who did all this for themselves without the help of big companies…. Much love and respect for them and prayers for them for all they do!
Each member of BTS are talented and hard working, skin colour, race etc should have no place in the world, I have read beyond the story, its heartbreaking to see what they went through, I so admire their spirit, attitude and determination to get their music out their, they inspire millions throughout the world, Kudos BTS 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The whole military postponement thing is so hilarous, because BTS/BigHit/Hybe are literally just vibing, minding their business, creating art and working for their fans/ARMY(and also planning to complete their military service). Meanwhile all these other companies are crying because it's unfair. I'm not even ARMY, I've been listening to Kpop since the late 2000's and man...when my non-kpop friends told me about BTS I was so surprised. BTS wasn't just famous around the world by k-pop fans...they brought NEW fans to Kpop who would have never listened to the genre, they became mainstream GLOBALLY. I still hear their music in public places. These companies are just mad that BTS/BigHit/Hybe did better than they ever could without them, and even with all the pushback. I honestly don't even think Hybe will ever be able to replicate BTS ever again. There may be people who are just as talented as the boys, but the chemistry, authenticity and relationships they all have with one another and their fans can't be copied.
I really appreciate this reaction and grateful to whoever suggested it. Since I satrted listening to BTS with the song For youth - have not stopped, I watched the hardships, the guide, run bts, in the soop, on stage complations, etc. I became official army in 2022. I am proud of these boys, and to me they are boys, my children are older than them. Their talen, humour, tenacity, drive and commitment is beyond what our youth of today can begin to fathom, they went through that and came out victorious, what a story!!! our young people can learn from this! In one of the Suchwita with Yoongi, him and JHope were reembering how they needed to leave the dorm because there was no money to pay for it.....RM, Yoongi and Jhope got together and jointly decided this was not going to happen - how many times in our society are we faced with eviction and hardship and the we react instead of responding.......my hat to BTS and Hybe. SALUTE!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 BORAHAE💜
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing truth. I’m a 50+ year old woman ARMY member. BTS is more than 7 talented boys. They just want to share love and acceptance to all. Great job. 💜💜💜
WOW, thank you for this video! I'm fairly new to K-pop, as a fan of STRAY KIDS, so I wasn't really too familiar with BTS! I'm kind of working my way backwards. I really wasn't aware of all their hardships & bullying. I definitely have much more respect for them!!
People may think we are crazy obsessed and that’s ok. However this is why. These man have been through so much while they went through that they still gave army everything they could. Their love has no limits with army and army’s love has no limit with them. We will continue to protect them.
no matter how many fandoms team up to vote for a specific artists, no matter how much they cheat by buying votes, we've always prevailed. imagine putting in so much time and effort out of hate and failing to support your own artist... no matter how much they hate, we will always win cause we don't come from a place of envy and resentment. i'd suggest doing longer videos and reacting to their albums in full. if a reacter is genuine, army would even watch a 2h long video.
I love how you took the time to go back and rewatch the commentary about the media in order to fully understand it. I appreciate your interest and time to learn about this group that is new and different for you.
They suffered too much that is why we ARMY defend them with claws from those who seek to harm them, the lyrics of the music "we are bulletproof" speak of this. We will always defend our beautiful 7 stars because they deserve it 💜
Thanks for this reaction V's Grandma's death: the abuse piled on V is shocking enough anywhere, but even more so in Korean culture. His grandma basically raised V and his siblings because both his parents had to work away, and they were all very close to her. V told the fans about her death on the 49th day after she died. On that day, there are family ceremonies for the deceased and of course he could not attend. These ceremonies mark the fact that by tradition after the 49th day the soul of the deceased is able to move on into the afterlife and be reborn. It is very significant, and perhaps even ore important for family than the funeral which is a more public occasion. Plagiarism journalist: there is evidence that since debut much of the attacks on BTS and ARMY have been co-ordinated by the big 3 agencies. I don't know why they felt so threatened by BTS, but they clearly did. In a way, that strategy meant that BTS had to make a different relationship with their fans: much more direct and immediate, much more open and genuine, than any other fandom - and ARMY had to fight back. It all actually made BTS become even more successful by finding their own way of doing things JK and the Burgers : At the point he was on this show, JK was only 18 or 19 and the 'hosts about twice his age. In Korea that is very powerful. At the time JK would have had little money but he spent his own funds (not company funds) on that food which he threw back in his face. When they met the guy recently they were all happy dappy and friendly, but I don;t understand why. They must have met up elsewhere and received some kind of apology, I assume. OK, but I'd find that hard. MBC : after the 2020 NYD matter MBC had quite a feud with Big Hit / Hybe, but a few months ago they had a meeting with Bang Si Hyuk and made up. Basically I assume that MBC had to climb down, eat humble pie and ... make some kind of deal that makes it worth while for BH talent to appear on MBC. Major agencies : not only did BTS not 'go through them', the large agencies actively tried to block BTS - they have an amazing amount of influence and clout on actual media and music programmes, and are known to pay them off. Bands trained by the big three can have huge sums paid to promote the to the point that if they are in any way decent performers, they are almost guaranteed success. BTS did it all themselves. German DJ : eventually responded saying he was only joking, but the joke's on him. A few months later he had moved from a drivetime evening weekdays slot, to a one hour lunchtime Sunday show. Guess that may have been less amusing for him xCeleste makes the point that no doubt all these difficulties will continue. She's right, and the Big 3 are still trying to block BTS and BH - but they'll get nowhere. And haters are continuing to spread rumours and accusations online. One person was recently arrested for this and posted a public apology asking for leniency : he won't get it. BH teams use advanced technology to track IP addresses and locations and will find them. VPN are not going to be much help. I am so glad that, while I am familiar with this environment of abuse, I remain away from spaces like Twitter so limit my exposure to the ongoing toxic Kpop environment. I still see a little, but seldom engage in any way. I do sometimes see You Tubers who seem to pursue BTS for the views / clicks they can bring - am very sensitive to that and of course hate it. Used to leave messages questioning what they were doing, but now I just walk away and block the channel. I'm touched though by your genuine reactions to this history. Now you may understand something more of many of BTS's songs and passion. They have been fighting for 11 years, and are not stopping any time soon. Ironically, some of their best, most successful music comes from this fight. Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
very well written !! so sad that the young kids in BTS's army are thrown in this water of slandering and hurting our magic seven... it leaves me with a upset stomac to realise that the younger fandom (literally speaking) who don't have lifeexperience enough to filter these huge money-worlds creepy business methods, are confronted with this at every corner. Thank god we have BTS's positivity in their souls and music...it makes the world a better place
Jungkook didn't spend his own money on the hamburgers. It was money from the game show. His team got the larger spending amount and brought back some "leftovers" for the other team. They were still mean about it when they shouldn't have been, but context is pretty important for that situation.
Thank you, these seven guys changed clothes of people lives. 2021 their music got me through losing my oldest son, now their music getting me through my treatment. The same creator made a update to BTS. Welcome to Army
I'm sorry for your loss but welcome to ARMY. I found them a little before the pandemic and I've lost everything to it: all my friends, employment, health, etc, all of it gone. So I listen to the music and keep dreaming and hoping.
I lost my husband in 2021 and found BTS. Their songs gave me a safe place to grieve and to grow. They were my lifeline. Today, being ARMY, is not only my way of returning the love they gave me but to spread their music, lyrics and powerful messages. Maybe someone else can find peace too. BORAHAE
I know. I also know it is better to pray for them than stay angry at them. I still can't pray for the ones that hurt or Golden Maknae. I hope soon. Still can't forgive them. Jungkook has. Still makes me want to go swinging my walking stick. I won't. First of all, I would most likely make me fall trying to swing my walking stick. How dare they hurt our Jungkookie.
This for me with BTS will always be what will keep me as Army forever…what other group would equate their success more to their fans than to themselves and what group would have a song with a video that is still charting for those that were lost…they never ask for hate and only preach loving yourself…who can hate that
*I remember when no one came to Jhope's LIVE, then years later ARMYS were chanting his name during his part at the concert. I was so happy for him!🥰🤗😭😌🫰🏻💟🫂*
I'm fairly new to BTS and K-pop, in general. However, after watching this, I have a brand new RESPECT for these guys and all of K-pop! I had no idea what they'd been through. I had heard of some of their hardships and watched some vids of their very humble beginnings and how hard they worked and fought to be appreciated and get to where they are today...#1 in the World😢!!! Proud to be ARMY now! I purple you! Thank you for shari g tlhis video 💜😊💜
Not only did they not go through the Korean media outlets, but the Korean media outlets were the ones not letting them go through them so BTS kept having to make their own way. The BIG 3 fought Big Hit and BTS withe everything they had (including their fandoms). The ones who trended all the negative hashtags and that the caller called Melon about was EXO, they still do. Just mentioning it since you probably didn't know that. But the three little asterisks *** stood for them. That's why some of us still get frustrated when people (and oftentimes reactors) hear BTS from the start and immediately think "Oh I guess I like KPOP." Because in our minds, BTS goes so far beyond that and until them, KPOP wasn't even using HipHop in their formulas. And none of their idols were even allowed to write content and most still aren't and don't. Again they started out as a HipHop group but added vocals and choreo at a time when that wasn't done and as a result got shunned by both HipHop and Kpop worlds. They have paved the way for younger artists and HYBE (BigHit) is HUGE now. They recently released like a 5 part 5 min serious of segments, I assume appealing to new recruits and it was really quite good. It is about the "T&D" team (Training and Development Team) that developed their model based on what they learned as they've grown with BTS finding their way. And how they guide and develop the members as they train. Not sure if you want to just watch on your own but here is the first one just in case: th-cam.com/video/71y2xhHOj98/w-d-xo.htmlsi=butfCR5iwXPBair- Really enjoyed watching this again. Appreciate your open mind to them fr. Wish you nothing but good things in your life. Borahae. 💜
Yep this is why I have such mixed feelings about them being only labeled "kpop", the majority of the kpop industry tried everything in their power to beat them down and rejected them. But now that BTS is huge they do everything to mention BTS's name with their artists in media or articles, lots of media play. The companies tried to equate their success to kpop as a whole being successful because they want that to be the case. They have always been an anomaly in kpop tho as they were heavily involved with their own music and messages from the beginning. They embrace the kpop label because that's the industry they trained and debuted in, they don't care what people call them anymore but they go beyond that. I like to think of BTS similar to a Veen diagram only BTS is a huge circle and inside that circle is a much smaller circle 1/4th it's size that is kpop, it's only a small part of what makes up them. Sadly the western media play has mostly worked as soon as general public hear "BTS" they automatically think "kpop", no lie I told my cousin I went to the Agust D concert when he asked cuz he'd never heard of him I said "he also goes by Suga from BTS" he goes "oh kpop" immediately. When I showed him fancams he had the most confused look "what? that's not kpop? That's hardcore rap, actually he looks more like a rock star. He can't be from BTS, I thought they only did 'bubblegum' pop music" I think I may have secretly made him a fan of Agust D at the least tho. Granted it's hard to define what "kpop" is exactly but now that label is being used against them in the western music industry to other them and segregate them from western artists, they don't like BTS beating their western artists in main categories. So now everything BTS's member touch is labeled "kpop" even if like JK's Golden album everything is written & produced by Americans, sung in all English, literally the only thing that is Korean is the singer but they call it kpop.
@@roguechevelle exactly. I see the same thing. People's instant assumption of them being KPOP and what that tends to mean can be so infuriating. And Yoongi's music is my soul fr. Even though I am OT7 and love all of them and their versatile musical tastes! I love the way you describe them being a huge bubble and the KPOP part of them is smaller bubble within that. I may steal that analogy sometime. 💜
just a small correction the song you listened to is "boy with love" but the song she is talking about (about accusations of plagiarism for the concept of uniforms) is "boy in love" two different songs
I'm a multifan but after seeing that video, I'm starting to regret it. I still love a good amount of other groups, but BTS will always have my love. Especially Suga; mans got me whipped.
Aaaaand this history is why ARMY of any entering era, mine is MOTSP, is so protective of our boys (yeah that term makes sense to me age wise)/men) when they receive any kind of negative attention/hate comments. We know what they’ve faced and survived and our empathy, NOT PITY, makes us protective of them, which may manifest from some individuals .as aggressive to others. FOR THE MAJORITY ARMY AND BTS PROMOTES POSITIVITY IN ACTION AND THOUGHTS! I can only hope I present that positivity to the world!
Every artist is a cannibal. Every poet is a thief. All kill their inspiration.. then sing about the grief. BTS did whatever they had to do back in the day just to get noticed. All new artists do it. So I'm not surprised. They had to stand on the sidewalk outside some of their very first shows and beg people to come in. But all that hardship and hard work paid off!
I dont know how much times i cried in this but I cried Many times, They deserve everything, The Hard Work they put, The way they kept building, I will forever love them, they deserve all of the love and success, I hope BTS will be successful in the future and stop getting this hate, I love you BTS 💜#AlwayswithBTS✋🏻
I've been a part of the ARMY since 2016, and this just brings back so many terrible memories of being online. Having to try and gather and trend over hateful hashtags. Fighting everyother day with other fandoms, mainly exols and bp fandoms. They HATED seeing BTS win. They always thought BTS was always going to be small and irrelevant. Apparently, the other groups companies matched their fans horrible attitudes. I remember the time when BTS started to get noticed globally and all of the hate they would get. All the severe jealousy from other companies and groups. It was actually YG who sent that reporter who accused them of plagiarism. Funny enough, a lot of kpop groups that have gone global after BTS have gotten the same mistreatment, and their companies aren't laughing now. Because the hate can be so severe. But BTS were pioneers. And no matter what, ARMY have ALWAYS been behind BTS back. We've developed a protective relationship over these guys and we know that if anyone tries to take a hit at bts, they take a hit at ARMY, and we dont stand for it.
They will all be back in 2025 as a complete group and will show the doubters. They will reign again Us army will Never Leave Them. Thank you for showing this I’ve watched it many times and it shows what they went through to get to the top and they’ll be on Top Again. Again thank you 💜💜💜💜💜💜
I've said before and it needs repeating. BTS don't need a Grammy. The grammies need BTS. I'm glad they never went to another award show. BTS doesn't need to lower themselves EVER...🤨
Humans!! That's what they are. Fantastic artists that have left the world at Aww. They are beautiful human beings regardless of race, religion, or creed. I am 54. BTS is the only reason I have gotten through my struggles. They make my heart happy during a time in my life when things are just not going well. I am a new ARMY, I love BTS. I learn more and more of thier struggles and strive everyday. I am ashamed of the human race. We are supposed to be people of love, compassion, understanding, forgiveness, and above all, peace. I knew nothing of their fight against humanity I have loved BTS from the very second i heard their voices. They are angelic and should be treated as such. Not because they are Idols but because they have fought so hard to become who they are. They brought me into their homes and lives, making my encounter with them so personal. I feel like family. Thank you for sharing this information with us. You are an amazing human being. Thank you. My love for BTS will not waver under any circumstance. BTS forever 💜 💜💜💯🇺🇸🫶🤟✌️🫰
Loved this thank you for supporting our heros, who have such humility like you have and to all the Army's around the world, who matched the million donated to BLM, BTS we salute you. From an Army in South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦.
I hate that it’s always a joke when it comes to Asians when it’s actually really offensive and racist. I’m hopeful that this is the start of a cultural shift in the world. ❤ great reaction, thank you
I had no idea that all of this was going on. I liked their music, but jumped all in last year. This is all heartbreaking. I really appreciate your commentary, and liked what you have to say. New follower!
Thank you little brother. I've found you. Now I am going to follow you. Your heart is open to new ideas different situations and you process with an open mind. Rare in a young person. I wish you continued success and hope others will come along for the ride. God bless and keep you. BTS, who knew they were these kinds of fighters? They have overcome so much in 10 years. Now, stepping back doing thier service requirements and possibly returning... The epic story continues.
I started crying when that guy was pretending to be a member and was mocking them and their language, it’s like seriously grow up. And then that girl after who was making fun of Jimin and the other members because they were wearing makeup and looked “female”
The good thing is ARMYs went after that girl so much, her channel got shut down and she ended up having a mental breakdown. She tried to blame the "haters" but she was just a horrible, clout chasing person.
This is one of the sad truths about the Idol business. Getting hate and death threads. The more fame they get, the more they can't be themselves. They are living in the public eye every move they make. They can't do anything normal as other people without it being watched. They can't even date without the fear that the public will find out. In the K-pop Industry, fans sadly seem to think the Idols belong to them. Sometimes, it seems being human is the biggest crime in this K-pop industry .😢😢
Fear and insecurities were on them. That's why they opted to stop BTS becoming famous. Bighit then, cannot rely on the Korean media because they had the bad experience of being cut, cancelled and belittled from their show. This only shows that no matter how great BTS is, even if they stomped or bully them, BTS's talent, sincerity and hardwork would always surface and shine above all. Luv BTS!!!
That hamburger clip alwaysssssss gets me. First, i cry, then im just angry. Not just for JK, but for every person with good intentions who is bullied like that 😤😡
You my want to watch the 2013-2021 BTS Hardships to really understand all the negativty and hatred the boys experienced, yet they remained positive and beat the odds.
i agree with this gentleman. I just turned the sign. I’ve never seen him before, but I like the way he talks, and the way he thinks I always tell my children to be kind to everybody because his bad as you think you have it everybody has a story and some of their stories are the saddest you can ever imagine so take the time to ask people their story and know that your life is not as bad as you think it is.❤❤❤❤
The clip of Jungkook with a bag hamburgers always brings tears to my eyes and it makes s me really mad he was only 18year boy trying to be friendly . They went threw a lot because they are smart great and a lot more 😂no ma❤tter❤ wh😂at❤ anyone says they are here to stay I Love Them Alot Rena fr:fr:Hawaii❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Im so grateful that you reacted to this video....now you see why in my last comment on the guide I said that you had no idea what these guys have been through.... So now you see and I thank you for taking the time to watch this. 💜
I so enjoyed your reaction as a person of color in her 60’s I hate anyone being miss treated for the color of their skin and a appreciate seeing a young man realizing that racism is still alive in this day and time, and the awareness you have to stand out against it; to many want to pretend it’s not real or never happened. Bless you and stay safe 💜💜💜💜💜
I have watched this hard time video couple of times... even now I'm tearing.... but i want to say, BTS!!!! We will protect u in our entire life, no matter what Real Armys always with you😔🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡💜💜💜🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂
The fact War of harmone is never performed live anymore because of hate hurts me so much i love it.. As an American i can't find anything wrong compared to rappers i grew up listening to
love the reaction! also your voice is so soothing and nice to listen to :) 45:40 made me laugh out loud lol i was like SAME!! you're very handsome and i hope to see you react to all kinds of music in the future :)
I’m a BTS fan(Army) 60yrs +, and yes there was a lot of discrimination that they went through and still continue to go through! They are resilient and will soar higher than they already have. They are a global phenomenon that some just can’t handle! Too bad! I will continue to support them! They are my 7 loves! Thanks for sharing this.💜
The big companies and their fans built and created so much hate to the guys at the beginning, even now. They had huge clout with the media. Our 7 guys worked harder and proved the industry wasn’t needed which threatened it immensely. They still go through it in the USA music industry. They’re amazing!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
In fairness, while they were "forced" to record in a garage, it wasn't because the company was poor. That was in 2014 while they were filming the (8 episode) show "American Hustle Life" (you should REALLY check that one out...they really LEARN about the rap/hip hop culture from a couple big names in the U.S. industry). Anyway, they would record from around 8 AM to 8 PM. After that, they'd work on their album. Can't really take "time off" when you're supposed to be making an album...so, during that show, well, they still had to work. Not to mention, garages, in general, have a specific sound, usually beneficial, and where a lot of people - at least in the U.S. - got their start (hence the term "garage band"). While filming, between writing, producing and recording the album while they were filming that show (which many of us refer to simply as "AHL"), they got all of 2-4 hours of sleep because of the schedules for both. It was, quite literally, "film all day, work all night" for them.
enjoying your thoughts. U be u. Xceleste is so solid. I recall when Mic Drop hit 1B youtube streams she took some dance classes. it is not her thing but she went for it. Aloha for now.
That clip of JK with hamburgers always brings tears to ARMY. He was just a 18 year old boy trying to be friendly.
True that clip break my heart every time 😭poor baby kooki.
bro I cried watching that right now. It was just so disrespectful. I'm so happy Jungkook and BTS are able to reply to their haters with their success.
Same here! That breaks my heart every time. JK was so innocent and didn’t understand why they weren’t accepting the burgers. BTS are bigger people than I am. I don’t think I could go back and be as nice as our men were when they returned. Did that guy ever apologize? I don’t remember.
@@Mrs.L.44 I don't know whether he publicly apologized or not, but in the You Quiz episode, Jk mentions that he had texted Jk before the show. Maybe he did.
I think that Jo Seho do apologized to JK
Young and broke JK innocently and excitedly bringing hamburgers to be kind and thoughtful only just to get atrociously ridiculed burned a forever sadness in my soul I don't think I'll ever get over.
I would've gladly eaten the burger( or all of them lol,since others were aholes)
****** Not ONLY Did BTS DONATE 1-MILLION to BLM, but ARMY MATCHED That DONATION with 1-MILLION of Their OWN!
OMG!!!
...within 24 hours 💜
@@swainmoneyy in just under 24 hrs that 1 mil was matched. ARMY's are good Humans who do not discriminate or exclude .
Yes Army matched the 1 million donation in 24 hrs. It's so impressive!
That's why to me ARMY is the best fandom in the world, they are as wonderful as BTS is and love them for it!
*GOT ARMYS RIGHT BEHIND US WHEN WE SAY SO! - BTS*
Let’s Go💜💜💜💜
🫂BTS💟ARMY🫂
Let’s go!!!
Now you understand why ARMY is so protective of BTS, still to this day anties (haters and other fandoms) will mock them and team up to bring them down. But ARMY will protect them till the end of days!!! Borahae!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Yep APOBANGPO💜️💜️💜️
One thing... anties doesn't necessarily mean other fandoms.. it's the haters
@@punarawijayasundara1569 will change that.... APOBANGPO!!!!!
Yup! And these antis are now pretending to be ARMY and trying to divide us to bring down BTS.
@@tessadewaard3780 wait.. when you replied with APOBANPO again, it felt like a cult greeting for some reason😅 I can't stop laughing at my thought😂✋
I watched the kdrama "Glitch" a few days ago. The people in a cult in that greet each other with saying "may the light be with you"
Maybe it's still in my head😭
@0109_Steph as a newbie, I've been seeing it😔they are trying but they won't succeed!! From what I've seen Army is strong, those stupid antis will not win!!
What this does not point out is they were often dealing with all of this whilst exhausted, injured, and in pain.
And they were still literal children/young adults. Who does that to kids lol 💜
What’s crazy is that the misogynistic song in question, war of hormones, isn’t even bad.
‘War of Hormones’ is a bop! There is nothing misogynistic about that song whatsoever.
FWIW, I have a bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Social Sciences
For real, and it was analyzed years later and proved that it was not misogynistic. The analysis stated that the girl chose Taehyung in the end because of all the guys, he was the one who was most respectful towards her (in the MV)
compared to the way they have K pop girls dance around like sex workers in Europe , War of hormones is polite. It was nonsense drummed up by big 3 paid haters is my guess.
As a girl myself..I was boping to the song
People what just jealous of them. They worked for a small company and they looked down on them. So glad they are so popular now. Throw this in the face of those haters.
My prayers for these talented hard working men. I am an 80 yr. Old grandmother and wish BTS could read this. Recently I lost my kind and loving gramdson who told me at age 9 " I wish i could find out what is wrong with me" This frightened me, I told him " Christian, there is nothing wrong with you. He grew to be so handsome. He struggled with drugs. We tried to help and love him. I pray BTS problems with fools will prove they are strong. Im ill with a bone disease, my husband, dog, and grandson all have passed. I watch UTUBE so I can see Jimin's beautiful dances. V is young with a deep old soul, I can understand his love of music and love his latest JAZZ SONG. Kookie is full of life, love and multi talented. All these men are intelligent and enjoyed for their talents. Suga, love your sexy voice and look. Blessings to all of you. Linda in Kansas
That jerk who said the hamburgers were leftovers ended up bowing to Jungkook on that show. Army kept putting hamburgers on his social media.lol
Really?😂😂 what’s his ig
Really ?😂😂😂Who is that guy?😂💜
I will say it's important to know that the burgers were in fact leftovers. They were still overly mean about it, but I feel like most people don't realize the context of it. Jungkook didn't spend his own money on it, it was money from his team on that particular game show. Jungkook's team had enough money to buy food while the other team didn't, so they brought the "leftovers" back for the other team. They were still mean though about it, but context is important.
Watching the burger video again I can’t help but cry. Jungkook was so excited and they crunched him like that. Jungkook has such a big heart 🥺
22:20 im still so moved that after Jimin got threats, Jin started dressing like him to protect him.
Literally brothers!
@@swainmoneyy Seriously!Imagine if the other members were there on that scene with the burgers andJungkook. He was literally a child there(like 17-18 years old or so).. His brothers would have defended him or atleast comforted him....But he was all alone in that show
Did he? I hadn't seen that yet. That's amazing and from the little I've seen so far, totally believable.
@@aprilmiller4413 yes. Obviously you cannot find any videos for that cause who would take videos?? But it is seen from pictures..How usually the members all have different fancy outfits..but after the death thereat Jimin got, Jin wore the same outfit.
That was a rumor and is NOT true. They just made an April Fools prank with those green sweaters. Please check your information before you spread them (not trying to be rude, but there are a lot of rumors who were confirmed as untrue, but still people spread them. Another example is that Yoongi said „When we disband I will look during the motivation speech.“ He never said that either.)
The conversation between the political commentators was about how BTS threatens the existence of the music industry since BTS grew as huge as thry are WITHOUT them. Those Kpop companies and media fear them because they cannot compete against us (ARMY) which is how BTS became as bug as they are. That’s why BTS loves ARMY so much. They recognize that they would nit have reached so many people around the world without their fandom.
The US music industry is also included in that. Grammys, Billboards, etc… fear them too because they make no money off them. BTS does not pay for radio play or to any music company at all, so in both Korea and the US, no one except HYBE (BigHit) and BTS, makes money from them. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Pure jealousy!!
That is exactly how I feel. Plus BTS is used on music shows for higher ratings. The guys never forget where they started, what it took to get where they are or those who believed in them. Humble and respectful
The US music industry is completely unfair and unethical to any artist that does not line their pockets with money. It's shameful.
I’am a 69 yrs old grand who found BTS during Covid. Now, you know why “ army” are very, very, protective of them. 3 big companies & the media try to stop them b/c those companies have a hold on the media.& everything else .💜💜💜. Now those who look down on them will be part of BTS history. You are right they did everything organically
I'm about to turn 58 and discovered BTS in the last three months, I LOVE THEM and am amazed at the things they can do and have accomplished. Each and every member is so extraordinary! Don't even get me started on the relationship between BTS and their ARMY though, it's beautiful and awe inspiring! This group seems to care more about their fans than any other I've ever even heard of and that is saying something. More power to BTS and ARMY, show those stupid haters up for how shallow and disgusting they are!
Exactly. My story is very similar. Loved the video and support of BTS. I appreciate your comment. 💜💜💜
What really baffled me, was they were so young, just kids, they were working hard, they were not given anything. Adults, adults were spewing and pouring out, leading the hate towards BTS, trying to kill their dreams. That was shocking to see, just heartbreaking. I was definitely not and still not completely familiar with fandoms (I, myself am just a fan of artists), but to see them team up against BTS just to try to stop them, OMG! I am so grateful that BTS had/has ARMY!!!! I am so happy that they stuck with it. It's annoying to see how much they had to go through to achieve what they did and to see now, other artists taking the world platform that BTS provided for K Pop, not acknowledge them, act like they did it on their own. I could keep going...so infuriating. I am so grateful for ARMY being there for BTS, truly. Thank you for sharing.
It’s so upsetting that people to this day try to block bts, it was so hard back then being an army and having to fight every single day just so that these guys can keep uplifting others. I still remember bts’ first grand prize, staying up til 5-6am through hours of trash stages just to see my guys take home a very much earned award. I’m just happy that they’ll continue to succeed.
I am a 70 year old grandma and I love BTS!!!
It makes my blood boil to still see people disregard bts, undermining their achievements and just straight up putting them down. As armys yall, we need to be there for bts. KEEP STREAMING AND VOTING GUYS !!!
This video was actually moving, I literally cried I pray that our black and other communities of color continue to stick together and continue to show love to one another. We need to lean on one another. BTS deserves their flowers and their success. Them filling a spot wasn’t coincidental it was destined from the most high that their light shines & will continue to shine. They earned their respect around the globe of those who really stand with them #WeStandWithBTS 💙🤍💛
What’s funny about the SK companies complaining about BTS is that they kind of started it themselves. The companies refused/blocked them from promotions and performances so Big Hit came up with a work around -social media, their own game shows etc. Which helped fans develop a strong bond that they may not have had otherwise- or as quickly. And it made BTS fight harder which only benefited them. Now the SK companies (and others around the world) are jealous of their success and are back to trying to sabotage BTS. So go head, do your thing because we all know(!!!!!) it will only make them stronger and come out on top!!
"got ARMY's right behind us when we say so" (this is a lyrics from the song BUTTER)
~RM (our president)💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I like what you said, "lets lend a ear, lend a heart" 😢 BTS from the beginning showed us their heart. Thanks for appreciating them💜
I am ARMY and I'm 76 in June. They came into my life when I was in a very dark place and still am but they keep me going every day. These beautiful young men have been to hell and back from bullying and death threats as young teenagers!! How the F**K can people be so cruel!!! I don't mind admitting that I cried throughout this video. 😭
ARMY will always support BTS. They are very special young men. I adore them.
Borahae from Australia 🇦🇺 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜✨️
I'm a granny army these videos make me cry everytime I watch them
Thank you Army for taking care of our humble, talented, well dissevered young Men BTS. I will always pray for health, safety, and keeping BTS close in GODS arms. I LOVE these guys so much.
so much to take in with this video, but it all boils down to jealousy, people who have nothing better to do than hate, and power struggles. The thing with JK and the hamburgers gets me every time. He was a teenage boy and they were adults. Shame on them for treating a child with anything but kindness. And then later as the same show host has the nerve to be involved with them again, JK shows his own maturity by greeting him kindly and with forgiveness. This is what they always do - they take the high road and don't sink down to the level of the haters. Makes me love them more. Thank you for your compassionate reaction.
Unfortunately still to this day HATE, XENOPHOBY , DISCRIMINATION against BTS keep going to bring them down. Once RM said that they feel like ALIENS because it seems that they're not part of Korea (not accepted)neither part of the occident. But one thing is sure THEY'RE PART OF ARMY OF THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!!Thank you so much for your honest , respectful reaction.💜💜💜
BTS Please acknowledge the creator our Lord God that HE'S always by all your sides. These ARMY you have at your back are people that probably GOD gave you to be your part by protecting you all from people who have bad heart who try to get you down 'coz of envy they have. May God bless' you all my dear sons.
15:24 we still buy albums. BTS have sold millions of physical albums & they do it with out using bundles (when artists bundle a physical album with merch or concert tickets - which btw counts towards album sales for the billboard charts) 💜
yep
1:36 bts released a book past year that can cover some of the gaps
One passage that stuck with me was a story v (taehyung) told in it. After attending an award show where they were either ignored or mocked by other idols he said, “we all got into the van together... Someone was crying, someone was getting really mad, and someone just couldn't speak. That unspeakable disappointment and that tear jerking emotion was too much.”
There's somethings you just have to hear from the person that experienced them. Maybe you could react to each chapter
What an excellent idea! I don’t know of any TH-camrs reacting to the book. I am fairly new to this channel, but seeing how thorough and caring this video was handled, I believe he would do a good job. 💜
@@Mrs.L.44 Cameron Philip started to react to it. I'm not sure if he will continue as he's only done the first chapter and it's been half a year
Can you imagine telling your beloved Army that the reason you've been acting sad and "not yourself" is because your grandma died....And because you showed emotion and couldn't hold back your tears....you later received death threats?? Its unfathomable! It must have broken Taehyung's innocent and pure heart. 🥺😢
I appreciate your reaction. I’m 64, I discovered BTS about 8 years ago while eating lunch at work. I started watching videos on you tube and there they were. My first thought, was damn these little Asian boys can dance. Honestly I didn’t hear the song just recognized their talent. I sent the clip to my daughter and we’ve been hooked ever since. Recognizing their talent, then their hearts. And they can sang!
I’m Army.
23:07 It is so sad and ironic..Look at them in the poster..How friendly and wholesome..And their tour is literally called "LOVE YOURSELF" T-T
Thank you for all of your comments, BTS sure needs all of our support. They are amazing young men that deserves to be treated better. No wonder some of them suffer depression and anxiety. We need to pray for them.
Basically, it's their hearts we relate too. They have always stood for equality for everyone, love yourself, love one another, dream big and reach your dream. Also they have prometed heavily for mental health. We, as ARMY, protect them the only way we can, through Twitter, instagram and any social media we can use. They are what they seem, sweet, kind, endearing, talented, loving, talented. If they didn't have the talent to back up their fan world they would not still be going after more than 10 years and counting. Let the haters hate. Let the jealous be jealous. We will always be here for the guys, to lift them up when others try to tear them down. Just like all there messages teach. Just like I hope our whole world will one day be. No hate, just alot of love and acceptance.❤❤
Knowing the hardships that they had to go through makes me respect them as individuals who did all this for themselves without the help of big companies…. Much love and respect for them and prayers for them for all they do!
Their story is heartwarming. There is a reason they are as famous as they are. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Each member of BTS are talented and hard working, skin colour, race etc should have no place in the world, I have read beyond the story, its heartbreaking to see what they went through, I so admire their spirit, attitude and determination to get their music out their, they inspire millions throughout the world, Kudos BTS 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The guys have a heart of Gold. Throughly their struggles they thought of others.
The whole military postponement thing is so hilarous, because BTS/BigHit/Hybe are literally just vibing, minding their business, creating art and working for their fans/ARMY(and also planning to complete their military service). Meanwhile all these other companies are crying because it's unfair. I'm not even ARMY, I've been listening to Kpop since the late 2000's and man...when my non-kpop friends told me about BTS I was so surprised. BTS wasn't just famous around the world by k-pop fans...they brought NEW fans to Kpop who would have never listened to the genre, they became mainstream GLOBALLY. I still hear their music in public places.
These companies are just mad that BTS/BigHit/Hybe did better than they ever could without them, and even with all the pushback. I honestly don't even think Hybe will ever be able to replicate BTS ever again. There may be people who are just as talented as the boys, but the chemistry, authenticity and relationships they all have with one another and their fans can't be copied.
I really appreciate this reaction and grateful to whoever suggested it. Since I satrted listening to BTS with the song For youth - have not stopped, I watched the hardships, the guide, run bts, in the soop, on stage complations, etc. I became official army in 2022. I am proud of these boys, and to me they are boys, my children are older than them. Their talen, humour, tenacity, drive and commitment is beyond what our youth of today can begin to fathom, they went through that and came out victorious, what a story!!! our young people can learn from this! In one of the Suchwita with Yoongi, him and JHope were reembering how they needed to leave the dorm because there was no money to pay for it.....RM, Yoongi and Jhope got together and jointly decided this was not going to happen - how many times in our society are we faced with eviction and hardship and the we react instead of responding.......my hat to BTS and Hybe. SALUTE!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 BORAHAE💜
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing truth. I’m a 50+ year old woman ARMY member. BTS is more than 7 talented boys. They just want to share love and acceptance to all.
Great job. 💜💜💜
WOW, thank you for this video! I'm fairly new to K-pop, as a fan of STRAY KIDS, so I wasn't really too familiar with BTS! I'm kind of working my way backwards. I really wasn't aware of all their hardships & bullying. I definitely have much more respect for them!!
Ignorance is alive and ugly. Great peace to BTS and Army. STAY STRONG!
People may think we are crazy obsessed and that’s ok. However this is why. These man have been through so much while they went through that they still gave army everything they could. Their love has no limits with army and army’s love has no limit with them. We will continue to protect them.
ARMY will keep protecting and stand with BTS
no matter how many fandoms team up to vote for a specific artists, no matter how much they cheat by buying votes, we've always prevailed.
imagine putting in so much time and effort out of hate and failing to support your own artist...
no matter how much they hate, we will always win cause we don't come from a place of envy and resentment.
i'd suggest doing longer videos and reacting to their albums in full.
if a reacter is genuine, army would even watch a 2h long video.
I love how you took the time to go back and rewatch the commentary about the media in order to fully understand it. I appreciate your interest and time to learn about this group that is new and different for you.
This is why we go so hard for our artists and why we are so protective of them.
#BTSandARMYForever 💪💜
They suffered too much that is why we ARMY defend them with claws from those who seek to harm them, the lyrics of the music "we are bulletproof" speak of this. We will always defend our beautiful 7 stars because they deserve it 💜
Thanks for this reaction
V's Grandma's death: the abuse piled on V is shocking enough anywhere, but even more so in Korean culture. His grandma basically raised V and his siblings because both his parents had to work away, and they were all very close to her. V told the fans about her death on the 49th day after she died. On that day, there are family ceremonies for the deceased and of course he could not attend. These ceremonies mark the fact that by tradition after the 49th day the soul of the deceased is able to move on into the afterlife and be reborn. It is very significant, and perhaps even ore important for family than the funeral which is a more public occasion.
Plagiarism journalist: there is evidence that since debut much of the attacks on BTS and ARMY have been co-ordinated by the big 3 agencies. I don't know why they felt so threatened by BTS, but they clearly did. In a way, that strategy meant that BTS had to make a different relationship with their fans: much more direct and immediate, much more open and genuine, than any other fandom - and ARMY had to fight back. It all actually made BTS become even more successful by finding their own way of doing things
JK and the Burgers : At the point he was on this show, JK was only 18 or 19 and the 'hosts about twice his age. In Korea that is very powerful. At the time JK would have had little money but he spent his own funds (not company funds) on that food which he threw back in his face. When they met the guy recently they were all happy dappy and friendly, but I don;t understand why. They must have met up elsewhere and received some kind of apology, I assume. OK, but I'd find that hard.
MBC : after the 2020 NYD matter MBC had quite a feud with Big Hit / Hybe, but a few months ago they had a meeting with Bang Si Hyuk and made up. Basically I assume that MBC had to climb down, eat humble pie and ... make some kind of deal that makes it worth while for BH talent to appear on MBC.
Major agencies : not only did BTS not 'go through them', the large agencies actively tried to block BTS - they have an amazing amount of influence and clout on actual media and music programmes, and are known to pay them off. Bands trained by the big three can have huge sums paid to promote the to the point that if they are in any way decent performers, they are almost guaranteed success. BTS did it all themselves.
German DJ : eventually responded saying he was only joking, but the joke's on him. A few months later he had moved from a drivetime evening weekdays slot, to a one hour lunchtime Sunday show. Guess that may have been less amusing for him
xCeleste makes the point that no doubt all these difficulties will continue. She's right, and the Big 3 are still trying to block BTS and BH - but they'll get nowhere. And haters are continuing to spread rumours and accusations online. One person was recently arrested for this and posted a public apology asking for leniency : he won't get it. BH teams use advanced technology to track IP addresses and locations and will find them. VPN are not going to be much help.
I am so glad that, while I am familiar with this environment of abuse, I remain away from spaces like Twitter so limit my exposure to the ongoing toxic Kpop environment. I still see a little, but seldom engage in any way. I do sometimes see You Tubers who seem to pursue BTS for the views / clicks they can bring - am very sensitive to that and of course hate it. Used to leave messages questioning what they were doing, but now I just walk away and block the channel.
I'm touched though by your genuine reactions to this history. Now you may understand something more of many of BTS's songs and passion. They have been fighting for 11 years, and are not stopping any time soon. Ironically, some of their best, most successful music comes from this fight.
Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
very well written !! so sad that the young kids in BTS's army are thrown in this water of slandering and hurting our magic seven... it leaves me with a upset stomac to realise that the younger fandom (literally speaking) who don't have lifeexperience enough to filter these huge money-worlds creepy business methods, are confronted with this at every corner. Thank god we have BTS's positivity in their souls and music...it makes the world a better place
Brilliant post! 💜
Jungkook didn't spend his own money on the hamburgers. It was money from the game show. His team got the larger spending amount and brought back some "leftovers" for the other team. They were still mean about it when they shouldn't have been, but context is pretty important for that situation.
Thank you, these seven guys changed clothes of people lives. 2021 their music got me through losing my oldest son, now their music getting me through my treatment. The same creator made a update to BTS. Welcome to Army
I'm sorry for your loss but welcome to ARMY. I found them a little before the pandemic and I've lost everything to it: all my friends, employment, health, etc, all of it gone. So I listen to the music and keep dreaming and hoping.
I lost my husband in 2021 and found BTS. Their songs gave me a safe place to grieve and to grow. They were my lifeline. Today, being ARMY, is not only my way of returning the love they gave me but to spread their music, lyrics and powerful messages. Maybe someone else can find peace too. BORAHAE
The most heartbreaking moment on life😢 the burger incident
It still hurts
I know. I also know it is better to pray for them than stay angry at them. I still can't pray for the ones that hurt or Golden Maknae. I hope soon. Still can't forgive them. Jungkook has. Still makes me want to go swinging my walking stick. I won't. First of all, I would most likely make me fall trying to swing my walking stick. How dare they hurt our Jungkookie.
Bless her little old heart.. Jimin way better looking than you, sweetie.
Korea seems to be a very difficult country to survive in … Hats off to BTS for standing strong ❤
This for me with BTS will always be what will keep me as Army forever…what other group would equate their success more to their fans than to themselves and what group would have a song with a video that is still charting for those that were lost…they never ask for hate and only preach loving yourself…who can hate that
*I remember when no one came to Jhope's LIVE, then years later ARMYS were chanting his name during his part at the concert. I was so happy for him!🥰🤗😭😌🫰🏻💟🫂*
And this is why BTS Love ARMY so much 💜💜💜. The love and respect is mutual .
We remember these and will keep protecting our tannies.
I'm fairly new to BTS and K-pop, in general. However, after watching this, I have a brand new RESPECT for these guys and all of K-pop! I had no idea what they'd been through. I had heard of some of their hardships and watched some vids of their very humble beginnings and how hard they worked and fought to be appreciated and get to where they are today...#1 in the World😢!!! Proud to be ARMY now! I purple you! Thank you for shari g tlhis video 💜😊💜
Not only did they not go through the Korean media outlets, but the Korean media outlets were the ones not letting them go through them so BTS kept having to make their own way. The BIG 3 fought Big Hit and BTS withe everything they had (including their fandoms). The ones who trended all the negative hashtags and that the caller called Melon about was EXO, they still do. Just mentioning it since you probably didn't know that. But the three little asterisks *** stood for them. That's why some of us still get frustrated when people (and oftentimes reactors) hear BTS from the start and immediately think "Oh I guess I like KPOP." Because in our minds, BTS goes so far beyond that and until them, KPOP wasn't even using HipHop in their formulas. And none of their idols were even allowed to write content and most still aren't and don't. Again they started out as a HipHop group but added vocals and choreo at a time when that wasn't done and as a result got shunned by both HipHop and Kpop worlds. They have paved the way for younger artists and HYBE (BigHit) is HUGE now. They recently released like a 5 part 5 min serious of segments, I assume appealing to new recruits and it was really quite good. It is about the "T&D" team (Training and Development Team) that developed their model based on what they learned as they've grown with BTS finding their way. And how they guide and develop the members as they train. Not sure if you want to just watch on your own but here is the first one just in case: th-cam.com/video/71y2xhHOj98/w-d-xo.htmlsi=butfCR5iwXPBair- Really enjoyed watching this again. Appreciate your open mind to them fr. Wish you nothing but good things in your life. Borahae. 💜
Yep this is why I have such mixed feelings about them being only labeled "kpop", the majority of the kpop industry tried everything in their power to beat them down and rejected them. But now that BTS is huge they do everything to mention BTS's name with their artists in media or articles, lots of media play. The companies tried to equate their success to kpop as a whole being successful because they want that to be the case. They have always been an anomaly in kpop tho as they were heavily involved with their own music and messages from the beginning. They embrace the kpop label because that's the industry they trained and debuted in, they don't care what people call them anymore but they go beyond that. I like to think of BTS similar to a Veen diagram only BTS is a huge circle and inside that circle is a much smaller circle 1/4th it's size that is kpop, it's only a small part of what makes up them.
Sadly the western media play has mostly worked as soon as general public hear "BTS" they automatically think "kpop", no lie I told my cousin I went to the Agust D concert when he asked cuz he'd never heard of him I said "he also goes by Suga from BTS" he goes "oh kpop" immediately. When I showed him fancams he had the most confused look "what? that's not kpop? That's hardcore rap, actually he looks more like a rock star. He can't be from BTS, I thought they only did 'bubblegum' pop music" I think I may have secretly made him a fan of Agust D at the least tho. Granted it's hard to define what "kpop" is exactly but now that label is being used against them in the western music industry to other them and segregate them from western artists, they don't like BTS beating their western artists in main categories. So now everything BTS's member touch is labeled "kpop" even if like JK's Golden album everything is written & produced by Americans, sung in all English, literally the only thing that is Korean is the singer but they call it kpop.
@@roguechevelle exactly. I see the same thing. People's instant assumption of them being KPOP and what that tends to mean can be so infuriating. And Yoongi's music is my soul fr. Even though I am OT7 and love all of them and their versatile musical tastes! I love the way you describe them being a huge bubble and the KPOP part of them is smaller bubble within that. I may steal that analogy sometime. 💜
just a small correction the song you listened to is "boy with love" but the song she is talking about (about accusations of plagiarism for the concept of uniforms) is "boy in love" two different songs
That's why we Army's love BTS whole heartedly ❤❤❤
I'm a multifan but after seeing that video, I'm starting to regret it. I still love a good amount of other groups, but BTS will always have my love. Especially Suga; mans got me whipped.
Remember when you asked, "Aren't they just singing and dancing?" Death threats, stalking, boycotting this is serious madness.
Aaaaand this history is why ARMY of any entering era, mine is MOTSP, is so protective of our boys (yeah that term makes sense to me age wise)/men) when they receive any kind of negative attention/hate comments. We know what they’ve faced and survived and our empathy, NOT PITY, makes us protective of them, which may manifest from some individuals .as aggressive to others.
FOR THE MAJORITY ARMY AND BTS PROMOTES POSITIVITY IN ACTION AND THOUGHTS! I can only hope I present that positivity to the world!
Every artist is a cannibal. Every poet is a thief. All kill their inspiration.. then sing about the grief. BTS did whatever they had to do back in the day just to get noticed. All new artists do it. So I'm not surprised. They had to stand on the sidewalk outside some of their very first shows and beg people to come in. But all that hardship and hard work paid off!
I dont know how much times i cried in this but I cried Many times, They deserve everything, The Hard Work they put, The way they kept building, I will forever love them, they deserve all of the love and success, I hope BTS will be successful in the future and stop getting this hate, I love you BTS 💜#AlwayswithBTS✋🏻
I've been a part of the ARMY since 2016, and this just brings back so many terrible memories of being online. Having to try and gather and trend over hateful hashtags. Fighting everyother day with other fandoms, mainly exols and bp fandoms. They HATED seeing BTS win. They always thought BTS was always going to be small and irrelevant. Apparently, the other groups companies matched their fans horrible attitudes. I remember the time when BTS started to get noticed globally and all of the hate they would get. All the severe jealousy from other companies and groups. It was actually YG who sent that reporter who accused them of plagiarism. Funny enough, a lot of kpop groups that have gone global after BTS have gotten the same mistreatment, and their companies aren't laughing now. Because the hate can be so severe. But BTS were pioneers. And no matter what, ARMY have ALWAYS been behind BTS back. We've developed a protective relationship over these guys and we know that if anyone tries to take a hit at bts, they take a hit at ARMY, and we dont stand for it.
They will all be back in 2025 as a complete group and will show the doubters. They will reign again Us army will Never Leave Them. Thank you for showing this I’ve watched it many times and it shows what they went through to get to the top and they’ll be on Top Again. Again thank you 💜💜💜💜💜💜
I've said before and it needs
repeating. BTS don't need a
Grammy. The grammies need
BTS. I'm glad they never went
to another award show. BTS
doesn't need to lower themselves EVER...🤨
Humans!! That's what they are. Fantastic artists that have left the world at Aww. They are beautiful human beings regardless of race, religion, or creed. I am 54. BTS is the only reason I have gotten through my struggles. They make my heart happy during a time in my life when things are just not going well. I am a new ARMY, I love BTS. I learn more and more of thier struggles and strive everyday. I am ashamed of the human race. We are supposed to be people of love, compassion, understanding, forgiveness, and above all, peace. I knew nothing of their fight against humanity I have loved BTS from the very second i heard their voices. They are angelic and should be treated as such. Not because they are Idols but because they have fought so hard to become who they are. They brought me into their homes and lives, making my encounter with them so personal. I feel like family. Thank you for sharing this information with us. You are an amazing human being.
Thank you.
My love for BTS will not waver under any circumstance.
BTS forever 💜 💜💜💯🇺🇸🫶🤟✌️🫰
Loved this thank you for supporting our heros, who have such humility like you have and to all the Army's around the world, who matched the million donated to BLM, BTS we salute you. From an Army in South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦.
I hate that it’s always a joke when it comes to Asians when it’s actually really offensive and racist. I’m hopeful that this is the start of a cultural shift in the world. ❤ great reaction, thank you
I had no idea that all of this was going on. I liked their music, but jumped all in last year. This is all heartbreaking. I really appreciate your commentary, and liked what you have to say. New follower!
Thank you little brother. I've found you. Now I am going to follow you. Your heart is open to new ideas different situations and you process with an open mind. Rare in a young person. I wish you continued success and hope others will come along for the ride. God bless and keep you. BTS, who knew they were these kinds of fighters? They have overcome so much in 10 years. Now, stepping back doing thier service requirements and possibly returning... The epic story continues.
I started crying when that guy was pretending to be a member and was mocking them and their language, it’s like seriously grow up. And then that girl after who was making fun of Jimin and the other members because they were wearing makeup and looked “female”
The good thing is ARMYs went after that girl so much, her channel got shut down and she ended up having a mental breakdown. She tried to blame the "haters" but she was just a horrible, clout chasing person.
Thank you Swain for your continued Understanding and Respect for BTS. 💜
This is one of the sad truths about the Idol business. Getting hate and death threads. The more fame they get, the more they can't be themselves. They are living in the public eye every move they make. They can't do anything normal as other people without it being watched. They can't even date without the fear that the public will find out. In the K-pop Industry, fans sadly seem to think the Idols belong to them. Sometimes, it seems being human is the biggest crime in this K-pop industry .😢😢
Fear and insecurities were on them. That's why they opted to stop BTS becoming famous. Bighit then, cannot rely on the Korean media because they had the bad experience of being cut, cancelled and belittled from their show. This only shows that no matter how great BTS is, even if they stomped or bully them, BTS's talent, sincerity and hardwork would always surface and shine above all. Luv BTS!!!
That hamburger clip alwaysssssss gets me. First, i cry, then im just angry. Not just for JK, but for every person with good intentions who is bullied like that 😤😡
That is my biggest ick.. idk how to say it. It hurts me so deep when I see it
You my want to watch the 2013-2021 BTS Hardships to really understand all the negativty and hatred the boys experienced, yet they remained positive and beat the odds.
i agree with this gentleman. I just turned the sign. I’ve never seen him before, but I like the way he talks, and the way he thinks I always tell my children to be kind to everybody because his bad as you think you have it everybody has a story and some of their stories are the saddest you can ever imagine so take the time to ask people their story and know that your life is not as bad as you think it is.❤❤❤❤
shame on them... Armies will always protect BTS and I am one of them
Am going to subscribe to your channel thank you for showing me this ... A Scottish Army friend. 💜
I´m from Germany and still to this day deeply ashamed for this Radio host!!
The clip of Jungkook with a bag hamburgers always brings tears to my eyes and it makes s me really mad he was only 18year boy trying to be friendly . They went threw a lot because they are smart great and a lot more 😂no ma❤tter❤ wh😂at❤ anyone says they are here to stay I Love Them Alot Rena fr:fr:Hawaii❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Im so grateful that you reacted to this video....now you see why in my last comment on the guide I said that you had no idea what these guys have been through.... So now you see and I thank you for taking the time to watch this. 💜
We are still buying albums when it come's to BTS. physical albums we buy them oh yes we do.
I so enjoyed your reaction as a person of color in her 60’s I hate anyone being miss treated for the color of their skin and a appreciate seeing a young man realizing that racism is still alive in this day and time, and the awareness you have to stand out against it; to many want to pretend it’s not real or never happened.
Bless you and stay safe 💜💜💜💜💜
I have watched this hard time video couple of times... even now I'm tearing.... but i want to say, BTS!!!! We will protect u in our entire life, no matter what Real Armys always with you😔🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡💜💜💜🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂
WE LOVE YOU BTS
Great reaction!
Thank you!! 😁 Stay blessed
The fact War of harmone is never performed live anymore because of hate hurts me so much i love it..
As an American i can't find anything wrong compared to rappers i grew up listening to
Thanks for sharing ...I adore BTS ...they're a great group and I admire them immensely 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
love the reaction! also your voice is so soothing and nice to listen to :) 45:40 made me laugh out loud lol i was like SAME!! you're very handsome and i hope to see you react to all kinds of music in the future :)
I’m a BTS fan(Army) 60yrs +, and yes there was a lot of discrimination that they went through and still continue to go through! They are resilient and will soar higher than they already have. They are a global phenomenon that some just can’t handle! Too bad! I will continue to support them! They are my 7 loves! Thanks for sharing this.💜
The big companies and their fans built and created so much hate to the guys at the beginning, even now. They had huge clout with the media. Our 7 guys worked harder and proved the industry wasn’t needed which threatened it immensely. They still go through it in the USA music industry. They’re amazing!!
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for this post. I love BTS . Their music, and they as artist have more class than any who have talked bad about them.
In fairness, while they were "forced" to record in a garage, it wasn't because the company was poor. That was in 2014 while they were filming the (8 episode) show "American Hustle Life" (you should REALLY check that one out...they really LEARN about the rap/hip hop culture from a couple big names in the U.S. industry). Anyway, they would record from around 8 AM to 8 PM. After that, they'd work on their album. Can't really take "time off" when you're supposed to be making an album...so, during that show, well, they still had to work. Not to mention, garages, in general, have a specific sound, usually beneficial, and where a lot of people - at least in the U.S. - got their start (hence the term "garage band"). While filming, between writing, producing and recording the album while they were filming that show (which many of us refer to simply as "AHL"), they got all of 2-4 hours of sleep because of the schedules for both. It was, quite literally, "film all day, work all night" for them.
enjoying your thoughts. U be u. Xceleste is so solid. I recall when Mic Drop hit 1B youtube streams she took some dance classes. it is not her thing but she went for it. Aloha for now.
You’re really funny on this one lol love that you’re really trying to understand them and empathize with BTS 😊
Hopefully one day there will be a world where none of this goes on, I can relate cause I am mix race , thanks for supporting them ❤
