The good dancer is Jimin, he also has an extraordinary, angelic voice. BTS were put together, but were encouraged to write their own material. There is an inhouse team to help with things but much of the writing, and even producing is done by themselves. The 3 rappers are all members of the Korean copywright association. The rapper you liked with the deep, rich voice is RM, the group's leader.
@@mev9752 lucky then, that you cannot remove the rapline from the vocal line (vice versa). and the vocal line are also eating up the BB tops, as a group, they are formidable
@@mev9752 Rapline is one of the major reasons why the group was so different and successful from the beginning. Like you said, taking them off their equation, they would be a typical kpop group with idols who don't write and produce their music. Rapline formed their musical identity.
It's also worth noting that yes, BTS co-writes almost all their music. Not their English songs though, which is another reason they sound different. But yeah BTS' rappers in particular have always written and sometimes produced their songs.
The guy dancing in Black Swan that you noticed, is Jimin (I love them all, but he is my bias). He is a beautiful dancer (he studied contemporary dance in the past, amongst other styles), and I love his voice, it’s so delicate and unique, he can go really high, I can always tell when its him singing. Plus he’s such a sweetheart.
It’s not that we don’t like if people don’t like their work, it’s just that they have so much that we feel it’s kinda unfair to judge by a tiny part If a person listen to a bit of their different sounds and vibes and understand just a bit of their journey and still don’t like it, it’s fair We just want them to be respected for the amazing work they did, even if it’s not your cup of tea 💜
Wrong. They write a lot of their music and have a lot more say in their music then groups under different companies. Please learn more before lumping them with American boy bands.
Sorry if you got nasty comments. I guess being an Army is kind of personal? Their music found us and helped through different shit in life. Army is very protective of them because they went through a lot before being and even when they are this big. They are still very humble. 💜
Yeah, but that's the problem with most Fandoms. It still means you can express your own opinion. Even I think their newer songs were mostly weak, and I am Army too. Agreeing to everything your favourite band does, just makes you a zombie, not a fan.
Please know that while their music can be enjoyed on a surface level, there is so much more going on here. Fire is a mental health anthem to young people, (particularly in S Korea where pressures on them are so high that they have the highest suicide rate in the 10-19 age range in the world) telling them it's ok to cut loose sometimes and make mistakes and act stupid, that they are young and life is for living. That's why Yoongi says "I'll forgive you" at the end. Fake Love is about hiding your true self behind masks to be loved (and partly a treatise on fame.) The choreography is mainly puppet based (marionettes) to underscore the part about being fake/'make myself a doll." This is one of the live performances of Fake Love with a dance break that really underscores the puppet theme. ruclips.net/video/df3AuWkaM_A/видео.html The MV is also full of visual storytelling for the Bangtan Universe, including the candy bars. The Bangtan Universe, or BU is the supernatural psychological mystery which unfolds across multiple albums with clues peppered throughout MVs, short films, song lyrics, album notes, webtoons, books, a mobile app game and more mutli-media content. Something no one has ever done before. Black Swan is off an album (Map of the Soul 7) based on Jungian psychological theory and is about how they felt so pressured and burned out by their unexpected global fame and the insane pace of the work they were putting out, and it's about the shadow/fear of falling out of love with their art and how that is like a first death for an artist. Ironically it came out just before the pandemic hit and the sudden, forced cessation of work and cancellation of a sold out global tour brought it's own, different mental anguish and identity crises to the forefront for them, as it did for many of us, which they detail in their pandemic album BE and in some of their later solo work like Jimin's whole album Face, and songs by RM and Agust D. BE includes a song you already heard, Life Goes On, which talks about pandemic realities, as well as shows them in the MV as the guys are stuck at home (yes they all lived together for about 12 years, until last year) and embodies the Korean concept of Han, both sad but also hopeful. I never followed a "boy band" in my life before BTS and I don't really consider the label to apply to them because it's too limiting for what they are. They break so many defining traits of such a group, as well as of S Korean Idol music in general (what we in the West think of as K-Pop.) Idol music didn't want to claim them either, because they didn't think BTS fit, and they were rejected by the industry in the early years. Most Idol groups indeed do not write their own music or control their careers, but BTS does. That was the mission of their tiny label's founder, Mr Bang, to overturn the music industry by prizing artistic freedom and the authentic voice of the artists. And boy does the music industry HATE them for that, both in S Korea and globally. That was Mr Bang's one mandate for them from the beginning, that their music contain their real and authentic stories and messages. And yes, they were writing and producing their own music from the beginning, as well as having help from in house producers like Slow Rabbit and PDogg and Mr Bang himself. These are just 7 passionate and incredibly talented genius singers/rappers/dancers/writers/producers/musicians/artists who happened, through some quirks of fate or magic, to find a synergy together in one group that no one really understands, even them. Believe me, their label and everyone else on earth has been trying to duplicate them, without any success. Add to their artistry their depth of character as people, their charitable giving and leadership, their humble and loving personalities, their love for one another, and their crazy origin story as a group, and....well, there just has never been anything like them before and I doubt there will be again. They are lightning in a bottle. They have already been together longer than the Beatles and made more music than them, and broken many of their records, just as one example. They are the first group in global history with 4 members, then 5, then 6 members who are million sellers as soloists and it will eventually be all 7 when they each have released more solo work. They have broken so many Guiness World Records in their only 10 years of being a group that they are already in the Guiness Hall of Fame. These guys didn't get famous for being cute, nor were they backed by big money. They were keeping the lights on at their tiny label with gigs like back up dancers at mall fashion shows. Their label told them to go home at one point because they were too broke to try to continue with them and the guys refused, scraping together the money to continue. They are artists.
This has got to be the best and most well written summary of BTS I’ve read in the comment section. Thank you! My only wish is that you also added their commitment to serving their country too through their military enlistment. The fact that they didn’t push for exemption themselves also set them apart from other successful global artists.
@@sjm5750 Thanks. I'm sure I could have gone on a lot longer if I wanted to include everything, but I was trying to be somewhat succinct and still get these rather nuanced and detailed points across that these guys are not factory produced pretty boys. In fact, the majority of them don't even fit the rather cartoonish and unreal beauty standard for Male Idols in S Korea and they were called "The Ugly Idol Group" when they first debuted. I didn't even get into how the industry in S Korea organized to try to crush them, the organized hate campaigns, the press slander and unfair treatment, the industry lockouts, the fake scandals and accusations which their company has had to defend them from in court and are never true, and the many death threats and all the rest they have dealt with, and continue to deal with, all with dignity, grace and maturity far beyond their years. There was just another death threat against V this week.
I literally have never seen a more genuine artist than BTS. It's not only talent, if you get to know their background and personality, you can't find even a single bad thing about them like at all. They are the most hard working, genuine, humble and kindest artists I ever see. But, like always, they got misunderstood because they are "pretty boy" who sings and their fanbase are mostly female. It's very much unfair. I really hope you continue to learn about them. Trust me,you're not the first person to begin learning so please don't be discourage. We can help you learn by suggesting some videos. My suggestion would be the Introduction to 7 member of Bangtan and also their lives performances. If you're amaze by their mvs, you will be even more amaze watching their live performances because they are even much better live than recordings.
Their personality n bond made me army. So perfect personalities. IDC who believes what. But they are really people with good hearts n powerful still in a positive way. I love army n BTS
I was already amazed by their talent, but their live performances really blew my mind. It's rare for artists to have such a (positive) huge gap between live and studio. They really give it their whole.
First: they are a group, not a steretyped "boyband". They aren't the typical k-pop too. They write and produce most of their own songs and when they don't, they participate on it or choose it. They are not just interpreters of others' staff. The songs in English don't represent their huge discography. The reason to sing those songs was to give a bit of happiness to.Army (fandom, us) during the pandemics. Even if the lyrics are shallower, it has a message on it: "be string, take of yourself, stay healthy". Personally, I love any single song I heard in these past almost four years, fir a reason or another. Some give me happiness, others make me think about life, others empower me and other simply improve my mood. 😊
As a producer I feel like you’d appreciate these ones (a solo from each also) but it is literally so hard to pick just a few, their catalogue is massive and full of gems: Louder Than Bombs, Stay Alive (prod Suga), Arson- jhope Slow dancing-V Daechwita- Agust d (he is an insanely good producer) Like Crazy- Jimin Epiphany- Jin Seoul-RM Still With You- JK
Their English songs didn't have as much of their own artistic input & were really written to appeal to more of a broader audience as feel good songs during the pandemic. The strategy worked, & that's when their popularity hit a new high in the west, but their most impressive works are written in Korean with some English sprinkled in, as is their usual style. Interestingly, RM, the guy whose voice you liked, is the only one who is fluent in English. He's literally a genius at academics as well as songwriting & taught himself to speak English by watching old episodes of "Friends" with English subs. He signed on as a rapper with then struggling Big Hit at 15 & was the first BTS member and is the group leader. I completely understand where you're coming from about the typical manufactured cookie cutter boy bands, as it's typical of most boybands in the US, & is DEFINITELY typical in K-pop. That's one big part of what sets them apart from the rest. They're each incredibly talented as individuals & have all gotten critical acclaim with each of their solo projects. Jhope was the first to release an official solo album & headlined at Lollapalooza in 2022 (which was amazing, btw; you should watch it!). My 24 year old son took me to see the SUGA/Agustd D-Day concert in Chicago as a mother's day gift. It was THE BEST concert I've ever seen in my 62 years. I've seen all the big classic rock bands live growing up in the seventies, including Aerosmith, AC/DC, Cheap Trick, REO, Foreigner etc., but Suga's concert was on another level musically, artisictly, professionally... I've never seen anything else like it. I've seen other ARMYs suggest you watch the Taylor guide, & it's really the best way for a newcomer to be introduced to each nember & get know their journey. I'm glad you decided to give them another try. BTS is actually a genre unto itself, & their very diverse discography has something for everyone's musical taste, no matter your age, gender or ethnicity. As you've discovered, ARMYs are very protective of BTS, but the majority of fans know the guys wouldn't want to see us disrespectful of anyone for their own opinions, especially since individuality & compassion is something they've been advocates of for years. We're the biggest fandom on the planet, but we'll always give respect as long as you respect us & BTS. I hope you dig deeper into their discography & that you truly enjoy the journey. It really is worth it.💜
I Love and agree with your very interesting comment; I AM from Mexico, 72 years old; and also enjoyed Suga's. (Agust D) in Aukland, near San Francisco. Purple you!!!
For the vocal line, check out “House of Cards”, “The Truth Untold”, “Zero O’clock”. Individually, Jimin has “Lie”, “Filter”, “Serendipity”, and his solo album FACE which came out this March with “Set Me Free pt. 2”, “Like crazy”, etc… Jin has a song with Coldplay “The Astronaut”, plus “Moon”, “Epiphany”, “Yours”… V has some great solo work too. Listen to “Stygma”, “Singularity”. Jungkook (JK), has “My Time”, “Euphoria”, “Begin”.
Thank you for giving BTS another chance. They have so many songs, and they are so different. They have a lot more depth to them than the pop you first listened to. I would love to see you react to Taylor Mari's Guide to the Bangtan 7. Don't cut out parts, ARMY will watch the whole thing with you. We love it when people find BTS and learn about all they do.
For musical experiments songs, i recommend : 1. Louder Than Bombs (the first second of the song already got my heart from the first time i listened to it like fr) 2. House of Cards 3. Pied Piper 4. Baepsae 5. Go Go 6. Am I Wrong 7. Butterfly (one of a Trilogy, the others are I Need You and Run in 2015) Trust me the beat and instruments in this songs are just 🤌🏻 and it shows how diverse their music is And i suggest you to pay attention to the story and lyrics too, bcs BTS songs never went without deepfull meanings And just in case you like Hip Hop/Rap those type of musics Here are some recommendations from me for BTS Hiphop/Rap music. And make sure to turn on the subtittles, its the most important thing 1. Joke by RM 2. Persona by RM 3. Agust D by Agust D 4. Cypher pt. 1-4 by BTS Rap Line 5. Daecwhita by Agust D 6. Sexy Nukim by Balming Tiger ft. RM 7. Hip Hop Phile by BTS 8. Snooze by Agust D Bcs BTS has always been takim it heavy and deep when it comes to Hip Hop, they started as a Hip Hop Group and some of the members came from Underground Rappers and Street Dancer So trust me, YOU WON'T REGRET checking out the song 💜
I think ARMY recommends these songs to people outside of the fandom because the general public has a certain impression of who BTS is through the English songs, and Fire, Fake Love, etc. break that image (to a certain point). I don't have anything against the English songs, but so many of my own friends keep shitting on my love for BTS because of Dynamite, Butter and Permission to Dance. To them, that's all BTS is: a generic boyband with generic lyrics. It becomes very tiring to explain the many layers of this group (and why its unfair to judge a Korean band on songs written in English?!?) and we ARMY can get a bit defensive if we feel that BTS is tossed aside without being given an actual chance. So, thank you for doing this. I agree with the people in the comments about listening to their solo stuff! The members are all so different from one another, it makes for a very colorful mix.
Thank you for giving te guys another chance…. I had the same prejudice as you with them, even if I hadn’t listened to them…. I had a pre existing judgement just because they are a boyband….. to be honest, not only their music, but they behavior, their beliefs, the way they treat the fans, all of it are different and unique..
I never stanned any boy bands till BTS. When I started knowing them, I’ve started stanning them for their personalities then more when I listened to their music. That’s why I stan BTS because unlike other boybands they are genuine people and most of their songs that they composed aren’t superficial. Please listen to zero’ o’clock, truth untold and house of cards. And actually they have abundance of songs that aren’t at all what you call… i forgot superficial? They are not like those ‘boy bands’ that you think when you start knowing them. But Thank you for giving time to listen to them.
I’m 53 and I never was big on any boy bands until I saw BTS. They are not just a boy band. They are super talented musicians, every single member has amazing talent, and in addition to their group songs, each of them has his own solo career. If you connect better to individual artists, perhaps you should check out some of the BTS members’ solo work. Here are some of each of their songs: Jin (Kim SeokJin) - The Astronaut, Epiphany, Moon, Abyss, Yours. SUGA aka AGUST D (Min Yoongi) - Daechwita, Haegeum, Amygdala, The Last, Snooze, AGUST D . J-Hope (Jung Hoseok) - More, On the Street, Equal Sign, Airplane, Mama, Ego, Future. RM (Kim Namjoon) - Wildflower, Joke, Seoul, Still Life, Forever Rain, Moonchild, Bicycle, Change. Jimin (Park Jimin) - Set Me Free pt.2, Serendipity, Lie, Filter, Like Crazy, Alone, Face Off. V (Kim Taehyung) - Singularity, Sweet Night, Christmas Tree, Winter Bear, Stigma, Love Me Again, Rainy Days, Slow Dancing. Jungkook (Jeon Jungkook) - Stay Alive, My Time, Still With Me, Euphoria, Begin, Seven, 3D.
@@djpaeg1 true they are musicians, talented artists, great dancers, producers, songwriters and more than that they are not 'superficial'people, they are good, wonderful, decent, hardworking human beings. How I wish you'll learn to know a lot about them then you'll see what I mean. They are just a positive energy in my life, they gave me some kind of healing therapy. Their friendship, their bond is very special and precious too that gives me happiness.
yes! the truth untold & house of cards live performances please... because these song doesn't have an MV, thank you... 🥰 I hope you'll enjoy watching and getting to know them not just because our request 😁
I highly recommend their "Tiny Desk" Concert, part of the NPR series, where they perform 3 songs live with a live band. You will understand why we say they are even better live. Also, please don't cut the songs, it makes for an awful disjointed feeling for us listening and watching your video. We don't mind hanging around for the full versions.
I highly recommend you reacting to Taylor Mari's Guide to the Bangtan 7. Army would greatly appreciate it if you don't cut the video. RM (the rapper you like with the deep voice) is their main song writer. Amen to your comments about Jesus showing how true love is. In Black Swan Jimin was the dancer you were talking about. He is a trained contemporary and hip hop dancer. Thanks for reacting to our boys!
BTS write 95% of their lyrics. Their label CEO (Bang Shi-hyuk) requires the three rappers to write their own verses, and RM often writes the non-rap parts of their songs. Because they write their own lyrics, their songs often reflect what they're experiencing in life. For example, Fake Love was written when they were overworked (due to their skyrocketing popularity in the West in 2017-8). They were exhausted mentally and physically, but they felt like had to hide their struggles and put on a good front for their fans. But of course the song can be applied to many kinds of relationships where you change yourself to please another (your partner, your parents, your circle of friends), or hide your true feelings and struggles. Black Swan was obviously written when they were experiencing burnout. RM was the main writer of the song, and the lyrics actually echoes what he says in real life. Like when he wonders, what if music doesn't excite him anymore, he actually asked about it to Pharrell in a Rolling Stone interview where they interviewed each other. (Pharrell reassured him, the love of music would return, and it did.) But you're right that their solo songs get even more personal because they can be more specific. Some of these songs are heartwrenching because these guys have been through a lot. PS: I noticed that during your reaction to Fake Love and Black Swan, you talked about how you felt about the topics. That's the thing about BTS music. Their songs are often relatable. Of course not all songs will resonate with all listeners, but the fact that they've touched millions of fans should tell you something. PS 2: Their fans ARMY have long memories. Often they can connect the lyrics of a song to something they said years ago. For example, RM released "Wild Flower" last year, but an ARMY remembered that years ago RM wrote about taking a walk with his mother and having a conversation about the wild flowers they saw along the road.
BTS are more than just ordinary boybands that you mentioned. They also write and produce. And dance, and have amazing performers. And much more than that. They really inspire people. Because of what? You will find out later if you continue. Trust me, you will not regret. They are not how you said in the end of the video. I recommend you to watch A guide for BTS by Taylor. It is long video but it's OK for army. We love long videos, don't cut them. And you will find out what are they about. You don't even know 1% of who they are as people and artists :)
The dancer that stood out in Black Swan is Jimin my bias. He is a wonderful dancer and his voice is like af an angel A proud 55 years young Army from Brazil.
We’re sorry if you got any nasty comments, armys in general follow our boy’s exemple and treat people with respect. And if they’re not being disrespectful we usually treat people with kindness too.
Loved this video, I dont know you but I love how you not only reacted but shared ur feelings and experiences, hate will always come dw. & with the boyband thing yes totally but army is not so protective bc of their music or handsome or yk, there are decades of videos BTS has out for us to get to know them, totally not one direction style. Right now they are doing solo work and always mentioning eachother as brothers and how its so unfamiliar and always have said how it is a family. DEFINITELY check out videos of explaining the group individually, I forgot the one that everyone sees but pre sure its the most watched video for a detailed video omd Im sure someone has recommended it down here. Lots of love, took me 2 weeks to recognise each of them lol
RM the guy you said had a nice voice. He released a really musically diverse album titled INDIGO that I think you should check out. Also your point about the boybands part, BTS are so much more natural then other boybands and even kpop in general as they worked from literally bankruptcy and single room apartments to worldwide legends. One tip is to just get rid of the boyband mindset, becasue when I first became a fan I didnt see much individualality in them, but when I listened to their solo work and documentaries, I can say that they all are like puzzle pieces in there group as each member contributes such a important amount that if one member was absent, the group as a whole feels very dull, in contrast to like american boybands where 1 member could leave and the band would still keep going because of their lack of connection. (blah blah blah) Anyway just listen to their solo work mainly the RM guy because hes the leader and the foundation of the group. And for the documentries, you dont have to watch them just a suggestion. (sorry for all the damn typos, first time typing something since sophmore year).
Just got to the part where you mentioned Jesus Christ our Lord and that His love is the only true love. I am saved by grace and a Christian like you, and my husband graduated Seminary too. That being said, we love good music...like good and meaningful music lol (not the recent "trendy" over sexualized and popular music) and are both Army! My hubby also loves the band you mentioned (for collab) esp because of the guitarist. As someone who truly respects music, he also had preconceived thoughts on BTS even after multiple songs, but after he heard more of their discography he was shocked at their versatility and love for art, and now he LOVES their music and respects them as artists and human beings. He listens to them more than I do now. Hes obsessed with V's new album Layover rn. Hope you continue to hear more!
You connect BTS as boyband with all negative aspects?? Then you are wrong. I am not even hard-core army,,but it's so tiring to convince someone how BTS is not just a boy band but defying every single aspects of its stereotypes.
What you mentioned about not being able to connect to boybands on a personal level, that's totally understandable. I totally get where you're coming from. All the more reason for you to check out their solo careers, especially RM (the guy with the deep voice in Black Swan and also the leader) and Suga aka Agust D. These are the two main rappers of the group, and the main songwriters and producers. Also J-Hope, the third rapper, whose solo work you might resonate with as an artist.
They are a vocal group not a boyband. They surpassed that a long time ago. They write majority of their songs. The group has 3 rappers. The one you are talking about is RM, the groups leader. As I before and many others have suggested, watch Bantan 7 by Taylor Mari. Then you might understand why they are as big as they are. If BTS is not for you, thats okay. It would be nice if you any future reactions to not cut them like you have done in these 2.
At first I was anti-KPop, because generally KPop songs were too noisy, but I accidentally discovered BTS in 2019, and after listening to some of their music I was immediately interested. Their diverse music with good lyrics has made me remain their fan until now
@@BoraBox7 I even tried to open myself up through Blackpink but it only lasted for a few months until BWL came out, I tried listening to a song which I thought was strange at the time, n However, after trying to listen to their other songs, I was stuck and increasingly wanted to hear all BTS songs until now.
@@Yuki_mera yeah i casually listen to other kpop groups i found bts first in 2017, but i enjoy more chill and fun music rather than the music by nct for example. i actively enjoy svt, bts, shinee pre 2021, and mostly non big3 girl groups. *chill and fun music as in the sound, i always appreciate a good msg bts are like... enchanting. once you hear one thing that you like on a base level you just have to learn more
listen to iu, akmu, 10cm, stayc, new jeans, red velvet side tracks or gfriend maybe? u should know that kpop is a big industry since 90´s and there is acctually nothing "new" with bts if u search for the history of kpop. music is made to entertain and connect with the people, there are plenty of artist that make good music and have deep meanings on their songs but the thing is to connect with them, people in the comments seems like they dont know anything about kpop but bts, calling that industry superficial is acctually very rude but if u seek and still dont connect just remeber is not that other groups are not as good or as "sincere" as you feel bts, there is music for every person and maybe yours is just bts and there is nothing wrong with that
The English songs were made for army during the pandemic to help spread love and support through a tough time. BTS can’t seem to win no matter what they do, they get shit if their music is in Korean by international fans then they get shit by international fans when they do do English saying it’s not genuine. Seriously you should watch the guide to BTS the Bangtan 7 by Taylor and you’ll understand and see how genuine and talented they are. They are NOT a typical boy and they write their own music, produce their own music and compose their own music they all have individual albums and individual songs on their BTS albums. There is 3 rappers and 4 vocalists. They have won over 700 awards and broken records held by Michael Jackson and the Beatles. I know you probably didn’t mean it the way it came out but to me saying they all look the same comes across as sounding a little racist, anyway the rapper you liked is RM and I’d recommend listening to Joke, wild Flower and Persona. The other two rappers are Suga aka Agust d and I’d recommend reacting to Daechwita, Haegeum and Amygdala and last is J-hope and I’d recommend listening to More and Arson. Jimin and J-hope were dancers before BTS and RM and Suga were underground rappers.
I think BTS fans like the English tracks for what they are but I don't know of anyone that fell in love with BTS because of these songs. BTS's deep lyrics, amazing dance and complete concepts are the reasons
There are “Dynamite” and “Butter” era fans. I had heard and liked them previously through my daughter who was a casual fan, but I really fell down the rabbit hole and became ARMY after hearing about the success of the Dynamite MV (100M views in 24 hours). That made me take a deeper look. It was during the pandemic when I was living alone and working from home and their genuine, fun non-music content, in addition to their really amazing other songs, sealed the deal.
@@beautifulloly Don't get me wrong Butter was on repeat for me, but those songs are very fluffy and they do not show even a sliver of what BTS can do, that is all I am saying
12:40 bro BTS write AND produce their own music, and they may be 7 people but they have 1 mindset. They are all singing from their hearts they aren't just singing what other people tell them to sing. like Mic Drop is about telling the haters to fk off essentially, Fire is about growing up and dealing with the problems of the world, Fake Love is about losing one's self to a love that isn't real, and basically saying they should love themselves as much as this other person. BTS have a lot of songs that have deep and genuine meanings behind them and all are written and produced by the band themselves.
I think it’s good idea if you check out their solo song because their song are so much different from each others. You’ll know their vibe through their songs.
The good thing about this group is that they are actively involved in the whole music production process and they have artistic freedom where they express very Deep message too
This is what I like to repeat: Calling BTS a boy band, is like calling a computer a typewriter. RM is the rapper you liked, you should listen to the Indigo album first. The dancer you mentioned is Jimin. Not all of their Korean stuff is dark, they have some fun ones that still have meaning. The English songs were fun and meant to be lighthearted during the pandemic. Tks for listening! 💜
The one you are talking a lit is dancing is Jimin. Yes he is an amazing dancer and his voice is so unique. They are all amazing Thank you are reacting to them.
If you like dark themed.. I really recommend BTS - Tear live performance (with Eng sub by cutiemulletV). It’s a song Suga wrote to members when they thought about disbanded. 🔥🔥💜💜
Fake Love is an entire collection of scenes that connect to their inner storyline called the Bangtan Universe. The Snickers bars are there because J Hope's ' character was abandoned by his mother at a carnival and she only left him with a Snickers bar. 😊
Thanks for listening again. They write, produce and compose their own music with few exceptions. You may like several of their solo works. I see several people suggested different songs and I'd like to suggest JHope's song 'Piece of Peace'. He's the 3rd rapper of the group
If you’d like to react to their solo music, here’s a recent song I’d recommend for each: Jin - The Astronaut RM - Wildflower Suga - Haegeum J-Hope - Arson Jimin - Like Crazy V - Slow Dancing Jungkook - Seven
For JK I really don't know if I would recommend "seven" or "3D" because I much prefer JK in seven but I find that Jack Harlow's rap is clearly better than Latto's. So I will stick to my favorite song of his "my time"
@@hobiscrapbts you could argue for a different song for each member. It’s impossible to fully represent them and the scope of their artistry in one song, but I tried to pick the biggest projects for each and keep the choices recent, whether or not they’re my personal favourites
@@hobiscrapbts My Time also doesn’t have an MV, which makes it less ideal to react to, especially for someone just starting to explore BTS and who probably isn’t familiar with lyric videos and doolset and other translation blogs
I just loved the way you shared about the love of Jesus Christ!! Thank you so much ! I am praying for BTS members for meeting Jesus and their salvaon every day . I am a big fan of these guys although I am 70 years old .BTS ...Very humble and honest. Giving me a lot of energy :)) Aggie from the Netherlands
i’m so glad you gave them another chance. and it’s not that we hate on anyone who doesn’t love them inmediately, it’s just that they’re so often misjudged that we feel the need to explain everything lol but don’t feel like you have to like everything they put out of course, but just know that they are real artists and their music is very genuine. also! i recommend you “a guide to bts members: the bangtan 7” by taylor mari, i think you’ll understand them and their music a bit better.
You didn't listen to the "wrong songs." You listened to the songs made for american radio. Theyve had skin in the game since 2013 and have music for days. Do what you want but don't keep reacting to them if you dont like their music. Whatever. It's chill.
Thanks for giving them another chance :) What I love about them besides them being all such sweethearts and talented is the diversity in their songs, and the meanings and all the artistry Their solo works are also so different and cool, I love it. Since you love RMs voice so much you might want to begin with him. His first mixtape is SO DIFFERENT from his last (first official) album Indigo We may have different tastes, but I love Joke and Do You from the first one, and Indigo have all kinda different vibes and I trully love all of them, RM asked us to listen to the whole album in order, and I love it, it’s one of my favorite albums, RMs lyrics are all poetry, I love the sounds and the featured artists 🥰💙💜
Oh, and actually Indigo relates and contrasts with Mono (his second mixtape), so I actually suggest the 2 from the first mistake, then listen to Mono and then Indigo 😅💜
Btw I’m Brazilian 29 going 30 this year, always listened and enjoyed music learning the lyrics and listening all different kinds of sounds but never really cared to know the artists or albums or even the songs names most of the time, I just enjoyed the songs They’re the first artists that actually got me because their effort, kindness, playfulness, different, deep and detailed art just came together and got me. Now I, no joke, use their songs purposefully when I’m not feeling well to put me in a better mindset and their Run BTS variety show and their lives just crack me up laughing cuz they’re funny af 😂 so yeah Only regret was taking so long to meet them. I hope I can see them live one day, their performance are amazing! If you keep going army will talk more about their jaw dropping performances in a few award shows, I can’t imagine being there to experience it
I find interesting that he decided to go into BTS knowing that he doesn’t connect with boybands. I mean, BTS would never prove him wrong cause he already started it with the feeling of “I don’t connect with boybands”. Seems to me he was only really interested in the engagements it would bring to his channel.
They take part in writing and producing their music and they have great individual songs. All of them are producers and writers. The rappers write and produce more for the group, so I suggest listening to their individual songs. The rapper you mentioned with the deep voice is RM. I suggest still life,, wild flower, seoul, Yun. Another rapper is Suga, he's known as Agust D for his solo stuff; I suggest daechwita, haegum and amygdala. 3rd rapper is Jhope; try listening to more, arson and daydream. There are 4 singers, try listening to their newer songs theres, Jin, Jimin, V and Jungkook. For Jin try the epiphany and astronaut, for jimin try like crazy, set me free, for V try slow dancing and love me again and for junkook, try Seven, Left and Right
I recommend you react to The guide to Bangtan 7 by Taylor Mari before you go any further , I think you will appreciate them more. PLEASE upload entire video Please do not cut it up. Don't worry we will stay with you until the end to see your reactions.
The intro guide by Taylor Mari that people are recommending you is definitely a must. Very well made, you will get quite a bit of info. It's a very beloved and popular guide video, so don't worry about how long it is. Please don't cut it up or take out parts, we will watch the whole thing no matter how long your reaction is.
There are soo many soft song of bts - butterfly , spring day , pied piper , go go , heartbeat , I need you , save me , dimple , euphoria , make it right , home , anpanman , the truth untold , don't leave me , magic shop , we are bulletproof pt2 . This songs are the reason I'm alive today trust me . this songs are amazing 💜
1 thing I've seen with BTS is they're GENUINE They were brought together by a company but they saw a dream together & worked so so hard for that dream. Now that they're doing solos too but they have all said they're waiting for the day they are able to get together(they had multiple opportunities to leace the group but they resigned & chose to stay together) They have always contributed to their own music in terms of writing lyrics, producing, coming up with melodies, themes for the overall album, how they're gonna do the photos for the album, music video direction, performances, choreography and much more Even the English songs might not have the most lyrical contribution from the members but stylistic choices & even the reason to release a song which is bright poppy & full of hope during pandemic came from them That's the beauty of BTS, they not only write & produce but involve in every aspect of what makes a song/album
This is my fav BTS song. Hope u react to it some day. . 🔻All 7 Members 1. Born Singer - Live performance *2015* (Original from J.Cole - Born Sinner) 2. Magic shop - Live Performances 3. Crystal Snow - Live performance . 🔻Rap Line >> RM, Suga, J-Hope - Tear Live performance at Wembley (Rap line) . 🔻Vocal Line >> Jin, JK, Jimin, V - House of Cards - Live performance
Your song list is almost the same as mine, plus Added too Save me Pluto Pied Piper Just One day Jump Omg.. I think all their songs are so good that I can't have just one favorite song 😂😂😂😂
@@Yuki_mera Me too. I have tons of BTS fav songs too and it’s mostly their B-Side songs. 😆 They don’t have a music video so if they’re not Army, they will never know. 😭
Theyre more than a 'boyband' they're like, a popular bands and their songs always hold meanings to it , they write and produce their stuff.. you should react to "introduction to the bangtan 7" by tailor, you'll know more about them more individually in that one video. Thank you for your kind reaction, sir, I'll look more forward into your BTS reactions
i think you need to revise your ideas on BTS, do some more research before you make judgements and listen to some of the suggestions for correct information.
Isaac, I hope it's not too late but that amazing dancer in Black Swan that you notice 8:54 is JIMIN, known as the lead dancer and singer of BTS, has trained many years in Dance Comtemporany, but the way he express through dancing is beyond the technique for sure, he is so talented in dancing I never get tired of watching his solo performances!
We actually like to see the full MV reaction - no matter how often we have heard it. Thank you! BTS has over 300 songs, with pre-debut. free songs, remixes and solo music maybe over 500. Some of their B-Sides are almost as much liked as their main songs. For example RM has over 200 song credits and he has an IQ of 148 - worldplay is amazing. Suga is an international producer and his lyrics tend to the hard-hitting but also to his own problem with depression etc. They have all song credits for a reason. Part of what makes them so interesting is that they come from the bottom - all members sleeping in one room, a small label with no deep connections in the industry in an oversaturated market and still succeeded while heavily sabotaged against an industry that still fights them in SK and for example the US - because they don't play by their rules, they don't buy the success. They do amazing concept work like never done before. I was a female teen in the 90s and only noticed the existence of boybands after a bigger one disbanded and never bothered to get into any of them. I also didn't like Hiphop/Rap. And yet... now I'm here and love it! I learned so many many new things with and from BTS. At the beginning I didn't understand "Fire". I only learned to understand it when Dr. Jiyoung Lee in her Ted Talks brought up certain lyrics from the song that are unfortunately wrongly translated on the official MV but can be read on the 1theK channel: "It's okay to loose." When you know that on average in SK highschool students learn 15 hours a day and are compared constantly it makes a difference if you hear that sentence without any buts and ifs. How often do we hear it without anyone saying "next time", "should have worked harder", "x has the advantage of y/is more talented", etc.? We are not "spoons" (used to explain classes in SK = BTS were considered "dirty spoons" like mentioned in MicDrop). We are people and it is okay to enjoy ones youth. "Fake Love" is more complicated as there two storylines within: 1. The older of the BU (=Bangtan Universe) story that is as complex - if not more so - than the MCU: MVs (beginning with the origial adult MV of "I need U"), trailers, "On stage: Prologue", Short films, notes/books, a webtoon "Save Me", a mobile game "BTS Universe Story" and we are getting a K-Drama called "Youth" (the trailer is already out). As such your "product placement" is actually not that - even as the Snickers twitter account is smug about it - but connects to J-Hope's character story and is rather sad. The fire and water - real, so the fire was naturally enhanced to look bigger - are also representing trauma of the characters that connect to them. 2. The "Love Yourself" triology that tells the story of a relationship. In the first it builds up as this seemingly perfect love with already the first doubts in the outro. We are on the second album "LY: Tear" and "Fake Love" is the title song. Here we go from the "I don't know" to the "I just know why" the relationship hurts so much that it destroys it - because the singer tried to be perfect for this relationship and that is just not how it works. In the last compilation album we get "LY: answer": we have to "love" imperfect selfs first before we can create healthy relationships with others. Relationships are compromises but it shouldn't be so much that you are hurting, denying who you really are or loose yourself to it. It's a give and take, sometimes more in one direction but only temporary if that happens. Otherwise it is toxic and self-destructive. The story is told in 3 albums which has a natural flow from the album before that (Wings is about Hermann Hesse's book Demian and tells a story of growing up not forced by celestial or more human rulers but under aspects of Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy and Carl Jung's psychology theories) to the 2 albums after that - the Map of the Soul: To love yourself you have to know yourself: psychology (Did you watch the whole MV till the end? because it would have been real interesting to see your reaction to the interlude in the MV and with HYBE artists it is well worth it to watch it till the last second) "Black Swan" is part of the "shadow" in the sense that is defined by Carl Jung - so it is applied psychology - their biggest fear as artist: the death of passion for their craft. Exploring your "unconscious", your fears, the stuff that wants to make you run from yourself and keeps you up at night is scary and hurtful - but necessary to know who you are, to find your "true self". We are more than our postive sides. It's also based on the psychological thriller by the same name. Even "MicDrop" is not only superficial aesthetics. There is also a lot of their own history in that MV. The English song were bright as they were pick-me-ups/gifts to Army - because the pandemic was a dark time for many around the world. It is also true that the "coming of age" story they told ended in 2020 and - despite the pandemic album Be - they were supposed to pause for individual music and military service. But politicians created a law to delay them, the fandom still suffered under the pandemic, they were offered opportunities not only in awards but also in representation for their country - which they thought they needed to fullfill - that the whole thing got delayed while they had trouble to write music for the group. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ They did end up given a third UNGA speech (this time for the SDG moment (Social development Goals)) with diplomatic passports and a full performance in the UN building, doing a briefing at the White House for the " issues of anti-Asian hate crimes, Asian inclusion and diversity" at the Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) months proceedings and where named as ambassador for Youth in SK. They and their label are called innovative for a reason and are on international lists for that - when no other label is mentioned. What they do is very complex, They are not just an "overperformer" group but real musicians. Taylor Mari's overview is actually very short. If you want context you can try bby gang mag/Elliot Sang who is made quiet a few interesting video essays about them. Your best bet is *"The* *Rise* *of* *Bangtan"* -series which is our best documentary (the bonus is funny). It explains context and it is themed to very interesting topics. At the beginning we get numbers and Idol music specific data/numbers in the Korean context. Later we have for example an episode on the difference between stage persona and the real self and how tricky that it. You spoke about authenticity - a rather toxic word but it can describe the members of BTS - and to that I can name for example Coldplay's positive reaction to them (you should watch how Chris Martin introduces Jin at their concert in Argentina for Jin's first and last performance of his good-bye song "The Astronaut" at the Coldplay concert; mainy written by Coldplay - with Jin writting the Korean lyrics) or Paul McCartney who was asked in an interview for his own promotion if he believed that real authentic musicians still existed (in a tone that suggested otherwise) and got the unexpected answer of BTS and how they reminded hin of his own time with the Beatles or Ryūichi Sakamoto who composed with Suga from BTS for Suga's album one last song before his death and geuinily liked Suga and was amazed by his love for music and composing. "if you listen without prejudice you will find music you like" Suga Thank you for the second chance! They are well worth listening to! Borahae! 💜
If, as he has said, he really reads all comments, this insightful and significant post should give him lots of room for reflection! Because I really resonate to reactions of a complete performance, no matter how long, I will wait to subscribe until he understands how valuable a reaction to a complete performance is to Armys. In the meantime, his knowledgeable and thoughtful reactions have impressed me! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I don't think people wanted you to listen to Mic Drop because of what you said. We recommend Mic Drop probably the most consistently out of all of the songs to newbies 😆 What you said about not being able to enjoy music at times, I feel that. Not necessarily about music, but once our passion becomes out job, I feel like it can very easily turn into something you approach analytically rather than emotionally. And if you do it all day every day it can also lose the charm and feel like you have digged into every crevice of the passion and now there's notheing left to discover. It becomes mundane and you burn out. I'm glad that the Black Swan era where they felt like that seems to be over now. Specifically RM (the guy woth the awesome voice) struggled a lot with it and only confirmed that he was out of the woods after he released his solo album Indigo. He took a thorough break and it seemed to help a lot. God knows they needed a break. They have worked harder than anyone I've ever seen for such a long time. They did it because they wanted to, not because they were forced to, but it doesn't mean they're immune to a burn-out. It probably only helped them last as long as they did without a proper extended break and it's a little ironic that their break is basically their military service. I'm sorry if people were harsh before. I was probably harsh myself, but I did say I'll give you a chance if I come across your channel again and I'll see another reaction, which is what I'm doing. I'm honestly ok with people not enjoying their music or not being in love with them, but I do feel protective of them in the sense that unfortunately, they have gotten such sh*t over the years despite proving over and over that they deserve the level of success that they got, It's hard to ignore when people just dismiss them based on assumptions and preconcieved notions. Granted, the song choices didn't help, but since they are their most popular tracks (don't get me started on why, the rant would be too long), it makes sense that you chose those. BTS do write their own songs and often produce too. They don't do it for all songs, but members like RM and Suga are widely respected as songwriters and producers. Suga produces for other artists when he has time. Try RM's Wild Flower. The song literally helped artists that worked on it with him out of a hard time. For Suga, I would actually recommend a trilogy: Daechwita, Haegeum and Amygdala. There is a connection between them, so it's better to listen to them one after another.
I'll start by thanking you for giving them a second chance. However, it's not so much that Army dislikes that others don't like what they do. It's completely fine if you don't like it, but your comments sounded a bit condescending. The problem is that people often disregard their talent because of preconceived ideas, deeming them as another boy band for screaming teenagers. But they are great artists and deserve to be treated as such. They worked hard to get to where they are and craft their songs with great care. Most people start listening to them through Dynamite, and it's a great song, but it's not representative of what they usually do. And btw, the Mic Drop suggestion wasn't a pointed suggestion, it really is a fan favorite, haha 💜
@@7Flowers1Dream He thought it was pointed because the song is directed at haters. But I agree, Idol is one of my favorites. Although it might be a bit confusing to react to as an introduction without context, haha. The cyphers are definitely worth reacting to, even if I prefer Ugh!, Ddaeng and Outro : Tear 💜
@@kuroro9949 Oh, I know that was why, I was being playful/sarcastic.😈 Guess he found one of those “traps” Suga talks about. 😂 Ddaeng is probably my favorite rap line song and Ugh is almost therapeutic at this point. Tear is one of their saddest songs to me, but it’s also very good.
@@7Flowers1Dream Yah, Suga and his traps. Aren't they so effective indeed? He definitely fell for it, haha I agree with you, Ddaeng is also my favorite. But I just love Hobi's part so much in Tear 💜
Jimin the ultimate performer. All the members can dance and they mostly dance hip hop, but Jimin majored in modern and contemporary dance, he's the go to for artistic dance and acrobatics.
Just commented on older video but I'm sorry if you're overwhelmed by ARMY lol. Would recommend BTS guide by Taylor if you want to get to know where they came from, what their message is, and who they are individually (personally and musically) If not that then I'd recommend solo work. The member called Jin had a song written for him by Chris Martin who he is very close with and they did an AMAZING live performance. Looking forward to any future reactions :) I'm very inpatient about it lol
(And we sometimes comment a lot 😅 Not trying to be annoying, we just get excited talking about bts stuff occasionally hehe That probably ends in good results for the algorithm tho 🤔 So good for you I guess? 🤷🏻♀️)
I loved your comments. The first part about fake love, love is an action and Jesus Christ is love, As a believer I totally agree. I am 60 year old Army, (only been Army a year) . I do not usually get into fan driven or what is popular. I am more cautious in the music I listen to. I was totally taken back by BTS. I never would have thought I would like rap, nor music I can't understand ( I still check out english lyrics) or just be part of what is considered a "fan group.," (BTS - Army is not really the classic fan group)until BTS. Really check out Taylors guide.. I think you will be surprised. I have been moved to tears numerous times listening to their songs. As a believer I have been shocked at what these young men have been able to accomplish in the short years (10 years) they have been together. The way they have impacted the world, BTS is considered a movement. So enjoy your journey. Also, if you think Army will not watch long reactions you are mistaken. We watch full concerts, so prefer listening to the whole song. 💜
Everything you said at the end . . .apply the complete opposite to BTS. THE most genuine group I have every seen and talented on multiple levels. Look up their song writing credits and producing credits and you will see how different they are from your comments. Old ARMY here who is a big music fan and has followed a lot of group and individuals over the years, attended A LOT of live shows/concerts and nothing compared to BTS when I saw them live. They are just MORE in all aspects of entertaining on top of being the nicest most honest people. Keep going, learn more.
I felt like you before knowing about BTS, you can't compare other boy bands to them because they compose their own music since the first album which is crazy. Of course there are a few other producers involved but the 3 rappers here make like 90% of their music. The sounds are them, the lyrics are them one of them (Suga) produces music for other artists besides BTS. You should listen the song 134340 or Dead Leaves live version if you want to dissect their musicality. Cheers!
The one in Black Swan whose voice you said was amazing is Namjoon aka RM, and he's actually the leader of BTS. I would like to recommend his solo song Wildflower. I think you would like it a lot.
These guys write and produce their own songs, with the exception of the full English ones. They grew up together in a one room apartment and were in a company that had hardly any money and no pull. They fought for everything they have. A true underdog story. Their journey is unique and inspiring!!!! To lump them into "boyband" is lazy. You are still coming from your self ascribed judgemental place. You have every right to like what you like, but don't make judgements when you know nothing about them. You are looking with Western eyes, it's a different culture. And just a note the Snickers wasn't product placement. It's part of the BU, a series of videos that tells an over arching story. In the story, JHope is abandoned by his mother who gives him a Snickers to keep him distracted while she leaves. It's heart breaking.

yeah ok the preach-y stuff was a bit uncomfortable tbh, you do you and believe in what you wnat but i'm not here to receive a sermon especially as an mis-interpretation of music i like that has a deep meaning of it's own so that felt weird... for your info they did a whole trilogy of albums called the "Love Yourself" trilogy that dealt with self-love and self-acceptance and not holding yourself to love that was superficial, and not waiting for external love, but instead finding the true acceptance and peace within yourself
The central dancer in black swan is Jimin, he's a brilliant dancer who will always catch your eyes during their performances and he also has a very unique and rare voice tone. Bts members writes and produces most of their songs. The rapper you liked is RM, he's the leader and is known for his eloquent words and his IQ of 148. The first guy in mic drop is J-hope, he's a dance machine and the dance leader of bts and also a rapper. The first guy in Fire who did the hand shake is Suga, He's a brilliant rapper and the main producer in bts, he has a crazy number of song copyrights and is known for his raw lyrics. There is also Jungkook, the younger one, he's the main vocalist and he's very good at every thing he does, literally EVERYTHING. and there's V, the perfect baritone voice and he loves Jazz music. Last but not least, there's Jin, he's known as the silver voice, his solo songs are just out of this world. Hope you get to know them more and I'm sure you'll be amazed at their unique talent 💜 and by the way, k-pop groups especially bts are nothing like American boy bands and you'll know that after diving in their music and the hard work behind it.
In South Korea every able-bodied man is required to serve in the military for 18-24 months before they are 28. The only ones that are exempt from this requirement are athletes who medal at the Olympics or win a Gold medal in the Asian Games, classical musicians and ballet dancers who win certain prestigious competitions. That's it. BTS got an exemption from the Korean government after much debate to delay their service until 30. It's called the BTS Law - a k-pop aritis who was recommended by the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism to have greatly enhanced the image of Korea both within the nation and throughout the world" would be allowed to postpone their military service until age of 30 if they do not have an extraordinary reason. The only ones who qualified are/were BTS. The members announced in 2022 that they'd be taking a hiatus to explore solo work and do their mandatory military service in order to come back as a group in 2025. In September of this year, they extended their contract with their management company for the second time. Thus far, all of them have released solo projects with Jungkook (the youngest) having released two singles and having announced an album release in November. Three of the members are already in the military. RM is likely the next one to join. The three youngest may join sequencially or together. If you listen to their solo work during this hiatus, you'd realize how different their musical styles can be. However, no song on any BTS album is chosen unless every member agrees. There are themes to their albums - the School Trilogy, the Youth Trilogy, Love Yourself Trilogy and the two Map of the Soul albums. There are standalone albums and singles that have been released as well. I'm a 53 year old ARMY and have been a fan since 2014. ARMY is automatically very protective because of the prejudice, hate, and unfairness that BTS has encountered throughout their music career. Many call themselves ARMY but act like typical fans (attacking others, liking only one member, etc.) True ARMY emulates the behavior of BTS - don't speak poorly of others, explain things as politely as possible, do good, and love ourselves. Thank you for your reaction.
Highly recommend Taylor's guide to BTS!!! BTS are literally different from other Artists. Their lyrics are more deeper than u think. We are very protective over them because they had suffered a lot in the past. They raised themselves from bottom where now other artist have some support while BTS raised themselves and their company (Big Hit). They helped a lot of people through their speeches, lyrics and motivational words where no one does now adays.
the thing with bts is that they’re really just incomparable to western boy bands. i can see the point you’re making with one direction, nsync, etc, but just know that bts are very different compared to those groups. in their large discography of music, consisting of over 300 songs, they have written and produced over 90% of them. the three members rm, j-hope, and suga each have over 150 komca credits to their name (korea music copyright association, meaning the songs that they have taken part in making). another thing that greatly separates them from this original “western boyband” stereotype is their close bond. like other groups, a great example being one direction who went on a hiatus and now no longer have contact with each other, bts are truly brothers who love each other. due to their mandatory military service, they had to put a halt to their group activities and promotions, and because of this they continued through with solo music. even with this “hiatus” that most believed meant that they were breaking up, they continue to support each other and are always seen hanging out with each other, talking about each other, and so much more. rather than having this superficial image of those bands that truly had no bond and were together solely because of their company, bts have a true friendship with each other that they constantly prove to be a real one. their discography has nearly every genre that one can think of, if you take a look at their b-sides on albums rather than only their title tracks, you will get to see their versatility and great lyricism. honestly, i’ve never found a group like them, and im so happy that i found such genuine artists to support.
They have both solos in BTS albums & outside. I think the Wings solos are good. Those being- Reflection (RM), Awake (Jin), First Love (Suga), Mama (J-Hope), Lie (Jimin), Stigma (V), Begin (Jungkook) Tho my fav solos are- Interlude: Shadow (Suga), Epiphany (Jin), Inner Child (V)
The main dancer in Black Swan .. he's Jimin💜💜 He is a contemporary dancer and has learned eight other types of dance in addition to martial arts The dancer I love most in this world.. I tried to suggest some of his performances to you, but I cannot because I will suggest all of them😂😂 If you continue watching them, you will see that he is wonderful.. In addition, they are all amazing.. Even apart from their songs, they have wonderful personalities and amazing ideas as human beings. This is what made me fall in love with them all💜💜
NOT a snickers placement - you need to go down the rabbit hole of BTS - don't react if you don't know the story!!!!!! WOW i am a bit disappointed. everyone of their songs have extreme meaning.
I appreciate you being open minded and glad you liked it! Cant wait for more videos from you :) Also the rapper you talked about is RM, the leader! Lets say hes an interesting person lol
I highly recommend you watch this: "The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS" by Rice Squad "A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7" by Taylor Mari BTS is the biggest group in the world and one of the most successful artists right now The group consists of 7 members (including 3 rappers and 4 vocalists) from South Korea. As a group BTS have a huge amount of songs(300+), they make music in a lot of different genres and styles (Hip-Hop, R&B, Pop, EDM, Latin Pop, Ballad, ...+). They are all songwriters and music producers, and also each of them has their own solo stuff, so depending on what kind of music you are interested in, you really have a lot to choose from
I think it's really interesting that you resonate more as a musician with their Korean lyrics. Black Swan especially was written at a time when they were all struggling within the band and considering their future. Glad you gave them another chance 😊
The commentary is soo half assed and just like other reactors watching bts bcoz bts = views. Idk if u really a fan of music but ARMY are fan of musics so we perceive their song differently and appreciate their arts more. Bcoz bts is soo involved in each of their arts. They’re excellent artists. Theyre not ur typical white boyband. They sounds FAR DIFFERENT AND MUCH BETTER THAN GENERIC WHITE POP
The good dancer is Jimin, he also has an extraordinary, angelic voice.
BTS were put together, but were encouraged to write their own material. There is an inhouse team to help with things but much of the writing, and even producing is done by themselves. The 3 rappers are all members of the Korean copywright association.
The rapper you liked with the deep, rich voice is RM, the group's leader.
wise quote from the genius bts rapper-producer
“You’ll like BTS music if you listen without prejudice” -Suga of BTS
Cuz rapline it’s the reason their music it’s good , take them off their equation and you will get your typical lyrics lol.
@@mev9752 lucky then, that you cannot remove the rapline from the vocal line (vice versa). and the vocal line are also eating up the BB tops, as a group, they are formidable
@@qpgold7634 you are using top bb for a reference to quality ? Lol sorry I can’t take you seriously.
@@mev9752 Rapline is one of the major reasons why the group was so different and successful from the beginning. Like you said, taking them off their equation, they would be a typical kpop group with idols who don't write and produce their music. Rapline formed their musical identity.
Black swan is so underrated.
the reason their english songs are so bright is because they released them to support people during covid
G DRAGON THE KING ,
@@himaririku9254flop
I remembered when they suddenly released dynamite, it really lift up my mood during quarantine, it was just sooo fun!
@@himaririku9254WE DONT CARE 🗣️
It's also worth noting that yes, BTS co-writes almost all their music. Not their English songs though, which is another reason they sound different. But yeah BTS' rappers in particular have always written and sometimes produced their songs.
The guy dancing in Black Swan that you noticed, is Jimin (I love them all, but he is my bias). He is a beautiful dancer (he studied contemporary dance in the past, amongst other styles), and I love his voice, it’s so delicate and unique, he can go really high, I can always tell when its him singing. Plus he’s such a sweetheart.
It’s not that we don’t like if people don’t like their work, it’s just that they have so much that we feel it’s kinda unfair to judge by a tiny part
If a person listen to a bit of their different sounds and vibes and understand just a bit of their journey and still don’t like it, it’s fair
We just want them to be respected for the amazing work they did, even if it’s not your cup of tea 💜
True
Exactly
Thank U 💜💜💜
G DRAGON THE KING ,
@@himaririku9254then why are you here on a bts reaction?
For what? If you don’t like bts leave them alone
Wrong. They write a lot of their music and have a lot more say in their music then groups under different companies. Please learn more before lumping them with American boy bands.
Exacto,
Sorry if you got nasty comments.
I guess being an Army is kind of personal? Their music found us and helped through different shit in life.
Army is very protective of them because they went through a lot before being and even when they are this big. They are still very humble.
💜
This!!!
Agree❤❤❤
go back to the first video everyone wrote constructive criticism and were thoughtful no bad language
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Yeah, but that's the problem with most Fandoms. It still means you can express your own opinion. Even I think their newer songs were mostly weak, and I am Army too. Agreeing to everything your favourite band does, just makes you a zombie, not a fan.
Please know that while their music can be enjoyed on a surface level, there is so much more going on here.
Fire is a mental health anthem to young people, (particularly in S Korea where pressures on them are so high that they have the highest suicide rate in the 10-19 age range in the world) telling them it's ok to cut loose sometimes and make mistakes and act stupid, that they are young and life is for living. That's why Yoongi says "I'll forgive you" at the end.
Fake Love is about hiding your true self behind masks to be loved (and partly a treatise on fame.) The choreography is mainly puppet based (marionettes) to underscore the part about being fake/'make myself a doll." This is one of the live performances of Fake Love with a dance break that really underscores the puppet theme.

The MV is also full of visual storytelling for the Bangtan Universe, including the candy bars. The Bangtan Universe, or BU is the supernatural psychological mystery which unfolds across multiple albums with clues peppered throughout MVs, short films, song lyrics, album notes, webtoons, books, a mobile app game and more mutli-media content. Something no one has ever done before.
Black Swan is off an album (Map of the Soul 7) based on Jungian psychological theory and is about how they felt so pressured and burned out by their unexpected global fame and the insane pace of the work they were putting out, and it's about the shadow/fear of falling out of love with their art and how that is like a first death for an artist. Ironically it came out just before the pandemic hit and the sudden, forced cessation of work and cancellation of a sold out global tour brought it's own, different mental anguish and identity crises to the forefront for them, as it did for many of us, which they detail in their pandemic album BE and in some of their later solo work like Jimin's whole album Face, and songs by RM and Agust D. BE includes a song you already heard, Life Goes On, which talks about pandemic realities, as well as shows them in the MV as the guys are stuck at home (yes they all lived together for about 12 years, until last year) and embodies the Korean concept of Han, both sad but also hopeful.
I never followed a "boy band" in my life before BTS and I don't really consider the label to apply to them because it's too limiting for what they are. They break so many defining traits of such a group, as well as of S Korean Idol music in general (what we in the West think of as K-Pop.) Idol music didn't want to claim them either, because they didn't think BTS fit, and they were rejected by the industry in the early years. Most Idol groups indeed do not write their own music or control their careers, but BTS does. That was the mission of their tiny label's founder, Mr Bang, to overturn the music industry by prizing artistic freedom and the authentic voice of the artists. And boy does the music industry HATE them for that, both in S Korea and globally. That was Mr Bang's one mandate for them from the beginning, that their music contain their real and authentic stories and messages. And yes, they were writing and producing their own music from the beginning, as well as having help from in house producers like Slow Rabbit and PDogg and Mr Bang himself.
These are just 7 passionate and incredibly talented genius singers/rappers/dancers/writers/producers/musicians/artists who happened, through some quirks of fate or magic, to find a synergy together in one group that no one really understands, even them. Believe me, their label and everyone else on earth has been trying to duplicate them, without any success. Add to their artistry their depth of character as people, their charitable giving and leadership, their humble and loving personalities, their love for one another, and their crazy origin story as a group, and....well, there just has never been anything like them before and I doubt there will be again. They are lightning in a bottle. They have already been together longer than the Beatles and made more music than them, and broken many of their records, just as one example. They are the first group in global history with 4 members, then 5, then 6 members who are million sellers as soloists and it will eventually be all 7 when they each have released more solo work. They have broken so many Guiness World Records in their only 10 years of being a group that they are already in the Guiness Hall of Fame. These guys didn't get famous for being cute, nor were they backed by big money. They were keeping the lights on at their tiny label with gigs like back up dancers at mall fashion shows. Their label told them to go home at one point because they were too broke to try to continue with them and the guys refused, scraping together the money to continue. They are artists.
This has got to be the best and most well written summary of BTS I’ve read in the comment section. Thank you! My only wish is that you also added their commitment to serving their country too through their military enlistment. The fact that they didn’t push for exemption themselves also set them apart from other successful global artists.
Very well said! ❤️
@@sjm5750
Thanks.
I'm sure I could have gone on a lot longer if I wanted to include everything, but I was trying to be somewhat succinct and still get these rather nuanced and detailed points across that these guys are not factory produced pretty boys. In fact, the majority of them don't even fit the rather cartoonish and unreal beauty standard for Male Idols in S Korea and they were called "The Ugly Idol Group" when they first debuted. I didn't even get into how the industry in S Korea organized to try to crush them, the organized hate campaigns, the press slander and unfair treatment, the industry lockouts, the fake scandals and accusations which their company has had to defend them from in court and are never true, and the many death threats and all the rest they have dealt with, and continue to deal with, all with dignity, grace and maturity far beyond their years. There was just another death threat against V this week.
💜👏
Their mission statement of the agency is “Music and artist for healing”
I literally have never seen a more genuine artist than BTS. It's not only talent, if you get to know their background and personality, you can't find even a single bad thing about them like at all. They are the most hard working, genuine, humble and kindest artists I ever see. But, like always, they got misunderstood because they are "pretty boy" who sings and their fanbase are mostly female. It's very much unfair. I really hope you continue to learn about them. Trust me,you're not the first person to begin learning so please don't be discourage. We can help you learn by suggesting some videos. My suggestion would be the Introduction to 7 member of Bangtan and also their lives performances. If you're amaze by their mvs, you will be even more amaze watching their live performances because they are even much better live than recordings.
Yes, it seems incredible but their live performances are definitely better
Their personality n bond made me army. So perfect personalities. IDC who believes what. But they are really people with good hearts n powerful still in a positive way. I love army n BTS
I was already amazed by their talent, but their live performances really blew my mind. It's rare for artists to have such a (positive) huge gap between live and studio. They really give it their whole.
G DRAGON KING -
You have to watch @gmaeboy310 bts reaction he’s so sweet
First: they are a group, not a steretyped "boyband". They aren't the typical k-pop too. They write and produce most of their own songs and when they don't, they participate on it or choose it. They are not just interpreters of others' staff.
The songs in English don't represent their huge discography. The reason to sing those songs was to give a bit of happiness to.Army (fandom, us) during the pandemics. Even if the lyrics are shallower, it has a message on it: "be string, take of yourself, stay healthy".
Personally, I love any single song I heard in these past almost four years, fir a reason or another. Some give me happiness, others make me think about life, others empower me and other simply improve my mood. 😊
As a producer I feel like you’d appreciate these ones (a solo from each also) but it is literally so hard to pick just a few, their catalogue is massive and full of gems:
Louder Than Bombs,
Stay Alive (prod Suga),
Arson- jhope
Slow dancing-V
Daechwita- Agust d (he is an insanely good producer)
Like Crazy- Jimin
Epiphany- Jin
Seoul-RM
Still With You- JK
YES! THESE! if he does them in the next reaction its gonna be BOMB
Yes, in this order as well could be good!
Yesssss
You are absolutely right!!
THIS PLEASE OMG!!!!
I'M SO GLAD that you made a honest reaction with this one and the one before, without pretending to like the group just to please the fandom
Their English songs didn't have as much of their own artistic input & were really written to appeal to more of a broader audience as feel good songs during the pandemic. The strategy worked, & that's when their popularity hit a new high in the west, but their most impressive works are written in Korean with some English sprinkled in, as is their usual style. Interestingly, RM, the guy whose voice you liked, is the only one who is fluent in English. He's literally a genius at academics as well as songwriting & taught himself to speak English by watching old episodes of "Friends" with English subs. He signed on as a rapper with then struggling Big Hit at 15 & was the first BTS member and is the group leader. I completely understand where you're coming from about the typical manufactured cookie cutter boy bands, as it's typical of most boybands in the US, & is DEFINITELY typical in K-pop. That's one big part of what sets them apart from the rest. They're each incredibly talented as individuals & have all gotten critical acclaim with each of their solo projects. Jhope was the first to release an official solo album & headlined at Lollapalooza in 2022 (which was amazing, btw; you should watch it!). My 24 year old son took me to see the SUGA/Agustd D-Day concert in Chicago as a mother's day gift. It was THE BEST concert I've ever seen in my 62 years. I've seen all the big classic rock bands live growing up in the seventies, including Aerosmith, AC/DC, Cheap Trick, REO, Foreigner etc., but Suga's concert was on another level musically, artisictly, professionally... I've never seen anything else like it. I've seen other ARMYs suggest you watch the Taylor guide, & it's really the best way for a newcomer to be introduced to each nember & get know their journey. I'm glad you decided to give them another try. BTS is actually a genre unto itself, & their very diverse discography has something for everyone's musical taste, no matter your age, gender or ethnicity. As you've discovered, ARMYs are very protective of BTS, but the majority of fans know the guys wouldn't want to see us disrespectful of anyone for their own opinions, especially since individuality & compassion is something they've been advocates of for years. We're the biggest fandom on the planet, but we'll always give respect as long as you respect us & BTS. I hope you dig deeper into their discography & that you truly enjoy the journey. It really is worth it.💜
Amei a forma que vc fez a colocação completa como eu sinto. Bts é muito profundo para ser comparado a Boy Band. Obrigada pelo contexto aplicado.💜
I Love and agree with your very interesting comment; I AM from Mexico, 72 years old; and also enjoyed Suga's. (Agust D) in Aukland, near San Francisco.
Purple you!!!
@@marthaochoacorona7017 💜💜💜🤗
I subscribed to your every word! I purple you!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I absolutely adored the way you worded this. You pretty much summed up everything I came into the comments to say. 💜
For the vocal line, check out “House of Cards”, “The Truth Untold”, “Zero O’clock”.
Individually, Jimin has “Lie”, “Filter”, “Serendipity”, and his solo album FACE which came out this March with “Set Me Free pt. 2”, “Like crazy”, etc…
Jin has a song with Coldplay “The Astronaut”, plus “Moon”, “Epiphany”, “Yours”…
V has some great solo work too. Listen to “Stygma”, “Singularity”.
Jungkook (JK), has “My Time”, “Euphoria”, “Begin”.
Thank you for giving BTS another chance. They have so many songs, and they are so different. They have a lot more depth to them than the pop you first listened to. I would love to see you react to Taylor Mari's Guide to the Bangtan 7. Don't cut out parts, ARMY will watch the whole thing with you. We love it when people find BTS and learn about all they do.
Yes please. This is a good suggestion❤❤ I can't wait to follow your bts journey😊
Agreed. Please don't cut anything and pause when you wanna talk. We can watch it even though it's a long video.
Yes please, if you don't have problems with copyright, don't cut off your reactions. Army we definitely love long videos.
Girl, you don't have to thank him for giving a second chance, he's the one who has to thank you for that
Yes please,!😊
For musical experiments songs, i recommend :
1. Louder Than Bombs
(the first second of the song already got my heart from the first time i listened to it like fr)
2. House of Cards
3. Pied Piper
4. Baepsae
5. Go Go
6. Am I Wrong
7. Butterfly (one of a Trilogy, the others are I Need You and Run in 2015)
Trust me the beat and instruments in this songs are just 🤌🏻 and it shows how diverse their music is
And i suggest you to pay attention to the story and lyrics too, bcs BTS songs never went without deepfull meanings
And just in case you like Hip Hop/Rap those type of musics
Here are some recommendations from me for BTS Hiphop/Rap music.
And make sure to turn on the subtittles, its the most important thing
1. Joke by RM
2. Persona by RM
3. Agust D by Agust D
4. Cypher pt. 1-4 by BTS Rap Line
5. Daecwhita by Agust D
6. Sexy Nukim by Balming Tiger ft. RM
7. Hip Hop Phile by BTS
8. Snooze by Agust D
Bcs BTS has always been takim it heavy and deep when it comes to Hip Hop, they started as a Hip Hop Group and some of the members came from Underground Rappers and Street Dancer
So trust me, YOU WON'T REGRET checking out the song 💜
I think ARMY recommends these songs to people outside of the fandom because the general public has a certain impression of who BTS is through the English songs, and Fire, Fake Love, etc. break that image (to a certain point). I don't have anything against the English songs, but so many of my own friends keep shitting on my love for BTS because of Dynamite, Butter and Permission to Dance. To them, that's all BTS is: a generic boyband with generic lyrics. It becomes very tiring to explain the many layers of this group (and why its unfair to judge a Korean band on songs written in English?!?) and we ARMY can get a bit defensive if we feel that BTS is tossed aside without being given an actual chance. So, thank you for doing this.
I agree with the people in the comments about listening to their solo stuff! The members are all so different from one another, it makes for a very colorful mix.
Thank you for giving te guys another chance…. I had the same prejudice as you with them, even if I hadn’t listened to them…. I had a pre existing judgement just because they are a boyband….. to be honest, not only their music, but they behavior, their beliefs, the way they treat the fans, all of it are different and unique..
I never stanned any boy bands till BTS. When I started knowing them, I’ve started stanning them for their personalities then more when I listened to their music. That’s why I stan BTS because unlike other boybands they are genuine people and most of their songs that they composed aren’t superficial. Please listen to zero’ o’clock, truth untold and house of cards. And actually they have abundance of songs that aren’t at all what you call… i forgot superficial? They are not like those ‘boy bands’ that you think when you start knowing them. But Thank you for giving time to listen to them.
I’m 53 and I never was big on any boy bands until I saw BTS. They are not just a boy band. They are super talented musicians, every single member has amazing talent, and in addition to their group songs, each of them has his own solo career. If you connect better to individual artists, perhaps you should check out some of the BTS members’ solo work. Here are some of each of their songs:
Jin (Kim SeokJin) - The Astronaut, Epiphany, Moon, Abyss, Yours.
SUGA aka AGUST D (Min Yoongi) - Daechwita, Haegeum, Amygdala, The Last, Snooze, AGUST D .
J-Hope (Jung Hoseok) - More, On the Street, Equal Sign, Airplane, Mama, Ego, Future.
RM (Kim Namjoon) - Wildflower, Joke, Seoul, Still Life, Forever Rain, Moonchild, Bicycle, Change.
Jimin (Park Jimin) - Set Me Free pt.2, Serendipity, Lie, Filter, Like Crazy, Alone, Face Off.
V (Kim Taehyung) - Singularity, Sweet Night, Christmas Tree, Winter Bear, Stigma, Love Me Again, Rainy Days, Slow Dancing.
Jungkook (Jeon Jungkook) - Stay Alive, My Time, Still With Me, Euphoria, Begin, Seven, 3D.
@@djpaeg1 true they are musicians, talented artists, great dancers, producers, songwriters and more than that they are not 'superficial'people, they are good, wonderful, decent, hardworking human beings. How I wish you'll learn to know a lot about them then you'll see what I mean. They are just a positive energy in my life, they gave me some kind of healing therapy. Their friendship, their bond is very special and precious too that gives me happiness.
yes! the truth untold & house of cards live performances please... because these song doesn't have an MV, thank you... 🥰 I hope you'll enjoy watching and getting to know them not just because our request 😁
G DRAGON KING -
You worded it perfectly
I highly recommend their "Tiny Desk" Concert, part of the NPR series, where they perform 3 songs live with a live band. You will understand why we say they are even better live. Also, please don't cut the songs, it makes for an awful disjointed feeling for us listening and watching your video. We don't mind hanging around for the full versions.
I highly recommend you reacting to Taylor Mari's Guide to the Bangtan 7. Army would greatly appreciate it if you don't cut the video.
RM (the rapper you like with the deep voice) is their main song writer.
Amen to your comments about Jesus showing how true love is.
In Black Swan Jimin was the dancer you were talking about. He is a trained contemporary and hip hop dancer.
Thanks for reacting to our boys!
RM! Gonna look into his stuff. I love his voice.
Jimin is incredible.
Thanks for the recommendation!
@@becauseisaac Wildflower is from his latest album. It's amazing.
Uppppp
Taylor Mari Guide please !
@@donnamcelroy963I 2nd wildflower. It's a stunning song
BTS write 95% of their lyrics. Their label CEO (Bang Shi-hyuk) requires the three rappers to write their own verses, and RM often writes the non-rap parts of their songs.
Because they write their own lyrics, their songs often reflect what they're experiencing in life. For example, Fake Love was written when they were overworked (due to their skyrocketing popularity in the West in 2017-8). They were exhausted mentally and physically, but they felt like had to hide their struggles and put on a good front for their fans. But of course the song can be applied to many kinds of relationships where you change yourself to please another (your partner, your parents, your circle of friends), or hide your true feelings and struggles.
Black Swan was obviously written when they were experiencing burnout. RM was the main writer of the song, and the lyrics actually echoes what he says in real life. Like when he wonders, what if music doesn't excite him anymore, he actually asked about it to Pharrell in a Rolling Stone interview where they interviewed each other. (Pharrell reassured him, the love of music would return, and it did.)
But you're right that their solo songs get even more personal because they can be more specific. Some of these songs are heartwrenching because these guys have been through a lot.
PS: I noticed that during your reaction to Fake Love and Black Swan, you talked about how you felt about the topics. That's the thing about BTS music. Their songs are often relatable. Of course not all songs will resonate with all listeners, but the fact that they've touched millions of fans should tell you something.
PS 2: Their fans ARMY have long memories. Often they can connect the lyrics of a song to something they said years ago. For example, RM released "Wild Flower" last year, but an ARMY remembered that years ago RM wrote about taking a walk with his mother and having a conversation about the wild flowers they saw along the road.
BTS are more than just ordinary boybands that you mentioned.
They also write and produce. And dance, and have amazing performers. And much more than that. They really inspire people. Because of what? You will find out later if you continue. Trust me, you will not regret.
They are not how you said in the end of the video.
I recommend you to watch A guide for BTS by Taylor. It is long video but it's OK for army. We love long videos, don't cut them.
And you will find out what are they about. You don't even know 1% of who they are as people and artists :)
The dancer that stood out in Black Swan is Jimin my bias. He is a wonderful dancer and his voice is like af an angel
A proud 55 years young Army from Brazil.
We’re sorry if you got any nasty comments, armys in general follow our boy’s exemple and treat people with respect. And if they’re not being disrespectful we usually treat people with kindness too.
Thank you army ,well said
Yea
Loved this video, I dont know you but I love how you not only reacted but shared ur feelings and experiences, hate will always come dw. & with the boyband thing yes totally but army is not so protective bc of their music or handsome or yk, there are decades of videos BTS has out for us to get to know them, totally not one direction style. Right now they are doing solo work and always mentioning eachother as brothers and how its so unfamiliar and always have said how it is a family. DEFINITELY check out videos of explaining the group individually, I forgot the one that everyone sees but pre sure its the most watched video for a detailed video omd Im sure someone has recommended it down here. Lots of love, took me 2 weeks to recognise each of them lol
Thanks for the kind words!
RM the guy you said had a nice voice. He released a really musically diverse album titled INDIGO that I think you should check out. Also your point about the boybands part, BTS are so much more natural then other boybands and even kpop in general as they worked from literally bankruptcy and single room apartments to worldwide legends. One tip is to just get rid of the boyband mindset, becasue when I first became a fan I didnt see much individualality in them, but when I listened to their solo work and documentaries, I can say that they all are like puzzle pieces in there group as each member contributes such a important amount that if one member was absent, the group as a whole feels very dull, in contrast to like american boybands where 1 member could leave and the band would still keep going because of their lack of connection. (blah blah blah) Anyway just listen to their solo work mainly the RM guy because hes the leader and the foundation of the group. And for the documentries, you dont have to watch them just a suggestion. (sorry for all the damn typos, first time typing something since sophmore year).
I wish i could tap love your comments more than once 💟
Just got to the part where you mentioned Jesus Christ our Lord and that His love is the only true love. I am saved by grace and a Christian like you, and my husband graduated Seminary too. That being said, we love good music...like good and meaningful music lol (not the recent "trendy" over sexualized and popular music) and are both Army! My hubby also loves the band you mentioned (for collab) esp because of the guitarist.
As someone who truly respects music, he also had preconceived thoughts on BTS even after multiple songs, but after he heard more of their discography he was shocked at their versatility and love for art, and now he LOVES their music and respects them as artists and human beings. He listens to them more than I do now. Hes obsessed with V's new album Layover rn. Hope you continue to hear more!
Guide to BTS members is a must watch!
You connect BTS as boyband with all negative aspects?? Then you are wrong.
I am not even hard-core army,,but it's so tiring to convince someone how BTS is not just a boy band but defying every single aspects of its stereotypes.
What you mentioned about not being able to connect to boybands on a personal level, that's totally understandable. I totally get where you're coming from. All the more reason for you to check out their solo careers, especially RM (the guy with the deep voice in Black Swan and also the leader) and Suga aka Agust D. These are the two main rappers of the group, and the main songwriters and producers. Also J-Hope, the third rapper, whose solo work you might resonate with as an artist.
They are a vocal group not a boyband. They surpassed that a long time ago. They write majority of their songs.
The group has 3 rappers. The one you are talking about is RM, the groups leader.
As I before and many others have suggested, watch Bantan 7 by Taylor Mari. Then you might understand why they are as big as they are.
If BTS is not for you, thats okay.
It would be nice if you any future reactions to not cut them like you have done in these 2.
At first I was anti-KPop, because generally KPop songs were too noisy, but I accidentally discovered BTS in 2019, and after listening to some of their music I was immediately interested. Their diverse music with good lyrics has made me remain their fan until now
if anything the kpop stigma in 2019 was cutesy pop. the only noise group at that time was blackpink, then the trend for noise music started in 2020
@@BoraBox7 I even tried to open myself up through Blackpink but it only lasted for a few months until BWL came out, I tried listening to a song which I thought was strange at the time, n However, after trying to listen to their other songs, I was stuck and increasingly wanted to hear all BTS songs until now.
@@Yuki_mera yeah i casually listen to other kpop groups i found bts first in 2017, but i enjoy more chill and fun music rather than the music by nct for example. i actively enjoy svt, bts, shinee pre 2021, and mostly non big3 girl groups.
*chill and fun music as in the sound, i always appreciate a good msg
bts are like... enchanting. once you hear one thing that you like on a base level you just have to learn more
Not kpop fan here but only like BTS
listen to iu, akmu, 10cm, stayc, new jeans, red velvet side tracks or gfriend maybe? u should know that kpop is a big industry since 90´s and there is acctually nothing "new" with bts if u search for the history of kpop. music is made to entertain and connect with the people, there are plenty of artist that make good music and have deep meanings on their songs but the thing is to connect with them, people in the comments seems like they dont know anything about kpop but bts, calling that industry superficial is acctually very rude but if u seek and still dont connect just remeber is not that other groups are not as good or as "sincere" as you feel bts, there is music for every person and maybe yours is just bts and there is nothing wrong with that
The English songs were made for army during the pandemic to help spread love and support through a tough time. BTS can’t seem to win no matter what they do, they get shit if their music is in Korean by international fans then they get shit by international fans when they do do English saying it’s not genuine. Seriously you should watch the guide to BTS the Bangtan 7 by Taylor and you’ll understand and see how genuine and talented they are. They are NOT a typical boy and they write their own music, produce their own music and compose their own music they all have individual albums and individual songs on their BTS albums. There is 3 rappers and 4 vocalists. They have won over 700 awards and broken records held by Michael Jackson and the Beatles. I know you probably didn’t mean it the way it came out but to me saying they all look the same comes across as sounding a little racist, anyway the rapper you liked is RM and I’d recommend listening to Joke, wild Flower and Persona. The other two rappers are Suga aka Agust d and I’d recommend reacting to Daechwita, Haegeum and Amygdala and last is J-hope and I’d recommend listening to More and Arson. Jimin and J-hope were dancers before BTS and RM and Suga were underground rappers.
I think BTS fans like the English tracks for what they are but I don't know of anyone that fell in love with BTS because of these songs. BTS's deep lyrics, amazing dance and complete concepts are the reasons
There are “Dynamite” and “Butter” era fans. I had heard and liked them previously through my daughter who was a casual fan, but I really fell down the rabbit hole and became ARMY after hearing about the success of the Dynamite MV (100M views in 24 hours). That made me take a deeper look. It was during the pandemic when I was living alone and working from home and their genuine, fun non-music content, in addition to their really amazing other songs, sealed the deal.
Actually it's insane how many people found BTS through the english singles trilogy
@@beautifulloly Don't get me wrong Butter was on repeat for me, but those songs are very fluffy and they do not show even a sliver of what BTS can do, that is all I am saying
Yeah i honestly thinl dynamite is my least favorite BTS song

bro BTS write AND produce their own music, and they may be 7 people but they have 1 mindset. They are all singing from their hearts they aren't just singing what other people tell them to sing.
like Mic Drop is about telling the haters to fk off essentially, Fire is about growing up and dealing with the problems of the world, Fake Love is about losing one's self to a love that isn't real, and basically saying they should love themselves as much as this other person.
BTS have a lot of songs that have deep and genuine meanings behind them and all are written and produced by the band themselves.
I think it’s good idea if you check out their solo song because their song are so much different from each others. You’ll know their vibe through their songs.
Bro where's full reaction to these songs feels like we've been robbed 😂
The good thing about this group is that they are actively involved in the whole music production process and they have artistic freedom where they express very Deep message too
Jimins background in contemporary dance certainly shines a lot in Black Swan XD
seriously good
This is what I like to repeat: Calling BTS a boy band, is like calling a computer a typewriter. RM is the rapper you liked, you should listen to the Indigo album first. The dancer you mentioned is Jimin. Not all of their Korean stuff is dark, they have some fun ones that still have meaning. The English songs were fun and meant to be lighthearted during the pandemic. Tks for listening! 💜
The one you are talking a lit is dancing is Jimin. Yes he is an amazing dancer and his voice is so unique. They are all amazing Thank you are reacting to them.
If you like dark themed.. I really recommend BTS - Tear live performance (with Eng sub by cutiemulletV). It’s a song Suga wrote to members when they thought about disbanded. 🔥🔥💜💜
Fake Love is an entire collection of scenes that connect to their inner storyline called the Bangtan Universe. The Snickers bars are there because J Hope's ' character was abandoned by his mother at a carnival and she only left him with a Snickers bar. 😊
Thanks for listening again. They write, produce and compose their own music with few exceptions.
You may like several of their solo works. I see several people suggested different songs and I'd like to suggest JHope's song 'Piece of Peace'. He's the 3rd rapper of the group
11:15 since when is happiness and positivity childish?
If you’d like to react to their solo music, here’s a recent song I’d recommend for each:
Jin - The Astronaut
RM - Wildflower
Suga - Haegeum
J-Hope - Arson
Jimin - Like Crazy
V - Slow Dancing
Jungkook - Seven
Thanks!
For JK I really don't know if I would recommend "seven" or "3D" because I much prefer JK in seven but I find that Jack Harlow's rap is clearly better than Latto's. So I will stick to my favorite song of his "my time"
@@hobiscrapbts you could argue for a different song for each member. It’s impossible to fully represent them and the scope of their artistry in one song, but I tried to pick the biggest projects for each and keep the choices recent, whether or not they’re my personal favourites
@@hobiscrapbts My Time also doesn’t have an MV, which makes it less ideal to react to, especially for someone just starting to explore BTS and who probably isn’t familiar with lyric videos and doolset and other translation blogs
In fact, I really like all the songs on their albums, for some reason I accept "all" their music well.
I just loved the way you shared about the love of Jesus Christ!! Thank you so much ! I am praying for BTS members for meeting Jesus and their salvaon every day . I am a big fan of these guys although I am 70 years old .BTS ...Very humble and honest. Giving me a lot of energy :)) Aggie from the Netherlands
i’m so glad you gave them another chance. and it’s not that we hate on anyone who doesn’t love them inmediately, it’s just that they’re so often misjudged that we feel the need to explain everything lol but don’t feel like you have to like everything they put out of course, but just know that they are real artists and their music is very genuine. also! i recommend you “a guide to bts members: the bangtan 7” by taylor mari, i think you’ll understand them and their music a bit better.
BTS BIGGEST BAND in the world ❤️💜
The live performances are much better than the studio versions in the music videos.
You didn't listen to the "wrong songs." You listened to the songs made for american radio. Theyve had skin in the game since 2013 and have music for days. Do what you want but don't keep reacting to them if you dont like their music. Whatever. It's chill.
Thanks for giving them another chance :)
What I love about them besides them being all such sweethearts and talented is the diversity in their songs, and the meanings and all the artistry
Their solo works are also so different and cool, I love it.
Since you love RMs voice so much you might want to begin with him.
His first mixtape is SO DIFFERENT from his last (first official) album Indigo
We may have different tastes, but I love Joke and Do You from the first one, and Indigo have all kinda different vibes and I trully love all of them, RM asked us to listen to the whole album in order, and I love it, it’s one of my favorite albums, RMs lyrics are all poetry, I love the sounds and the featured artists 🥰💙💜
Oh, and actually Indigo relates and contrasts with Mono (his second mixtape), so I actually suggest the 2 from the first mistake, then listen to Mono and then Indigo 😅💜
Btw I’m Brazilian 29 going 30 this year, always listened and enjoyed music learning the lyrics and listening all different kinds of sounds but never really cared to know the artists or albums or even the songs names most of the time, I just enjoyed the songs
They’re the first artists that actually got me because their effort, kindness, playfulness, different, deep and detailed art just came together and got me.
Now I, no joke, use their songs purposefully when I’m not feeling well to put me in a better mindset and their Run BTS variety show and their lives just crack me up laughing cuz they’re funny af 😂 so yeah
Only regret was taking so long to meet them.
I hope I can see them live one day, their performance are amazing! If you keep going army will talk more about their jaw dropping performances in a few award shows, I can’t imagine being there to experience it
I find interesting that he decided to go into BTS knowing that he doesn’t connect with boybands. I mean, BTS would never prove him wrong cause he already started it with the feeling of “I don’t connect with boybands”. Seems to me he was only really interested in the engagements it would bring to his channel.
They take part in writing and producing their music and they have great individual songs. All of them are producers and writers. The rappers write and produce more for the group, so I suggest listening to their individual songs. The rapper you mentioned with the deep voice is RM. I suggest still life,, wild flower, seoul, Yun. Another rapper is Suga, he's known as Agust D for his solo stuff; I suggest daechwita, haegum and amygdala. 3rd rapper is Jhope; try listening to more, arson and daydream. There are 4 singers, try listening to their newer songs theres, Jin, Jimin, V and Jungkook. For Jin try the epiphany and astronaut, for jimin try like crazy, set me free, for V try slow dancing and love me again and for junkook, try Seven, Left and Right
I recommend you react to The guide to Bangtan 7 by Taylor Mari before you go any further , I think you will appreciate them more. PLEASE upload entire video Please do not cut it up. Don't worry we will stay with you until the end to see your reactions.
The intro guide by Taylor Mari that people are recommending you is definitely a must. Very well made, you will get quite a bit of info. It's a very beloved and popular guide video, so don't worry about how long it is. Please don't cut it up or take out parts, we will watch the whole thing no matter how long your reaction is.
There are soo many soft song of bts - butterfly , spring day , pied piper , go go , heartbeat , I need you , save me , dimple , euphoria , make it right , home , anpanman , the truth untold , don't leave me , magic shop , we are bulletproof pt2 .
This songs are the reason I'm alive today trust me . this songs are amazing 💜
1 thing I've seen with BTS is they're GENUINE
They were brought together by a company but they saw a dream together & worked so so hard for that dream. Now that they're doing solos too but they have all said they're waiting for the day they are able to get together(they had multiple opportunities to leace the group but they resigned & chose to stay together)
They have always contributed to their own music in terms of writing lyrics, producing, coming up with melodies, themes for the overall album, how they're gonna do the photos for the album, music video direction, performances, choreography and much more
Even the English songs might not have the most lyrical contribution from the members but stylistic choices & even the reason to release a song which is bright poppy & full of hope during pandemic came from them
That's the beauty of BTS, they not only write & produce but involve in every aspect of what makes a song/album
00:38 that's not really it... but how can you judge a book by only looking at the cover? That's more what people were upset about
This is my fav BTS song. Hope u react to it some day.

Omg.. I think all their songs are so good that I can't have just one favorite song 😂😂😂😂
@@Yuki_mera Me too. I have tons of BTS fav songs too and it’s mostly their B-Side songs. 😆 They don’t have a music video so if they’re not Army, they will never know. 😭
I would definitely add The Truth Untold for Vocal Line
@@kelsgm19 the truth untold is my fav too! 🥺💜💜 I just don’t wanna add too many songs for him. It’ll be hard to choose 😆
@@fbts9901 Yep true!
Love youre face and coments !!! please react for some live performance MMA awards !! are so so cool !!
Theyre more than a 'boyband' they're like, a popular bands and their songs always hold meanings to it , they write and produce their stuff.. you should react to "introduction to the bangtan 7" by tailor, you'll know more about them more individually in that one video. Thank you for your kind reaction, sir, I'll look more forward into your BTS reactions
i think you need to revise your ideas on BTS, do some more research before you make judgements and listen to some of the suggestions for correct information.
A Guide of BTS Members by Taylor Mari pls 💜💜
Isaac, I hope it's not too late but that amazing dancer in Black Swan that you notice 8:54 is JIMIN, known as the lead dancer and singer of BTS, has trained many years in Dance Comtemporany, but the way he express through dancing is beyond the technique for sure, he is so talented in dancing I never get tired of watching his solo performances!
Jimin is the main dancer
We actually like to see the full MV reaction - no matter how often we have heard it. Thank you!
BTS has over 300 songs, with pre-debut. free songs, remixes and solo music maybe over 500. Some of their B-Sides are almost as much liked as their main songs. For example RM has over 200 song credits and he has an IQ of 148 - worldplay is amazing. Suga is an international producer and his lyrics tend to the hard-hitting but also to his own problem with depression etc. They have all song credits for a reason.
Part of what makes them so interesting is that they come from the bottom - all members sleeping in one room, a small label with no deep connections in the industry in an oversaturated market and still succeeded while heavily sabotaged against an industry that still fights them in SK and for example the US - because they don't play by their rules, they don't buy the success.
They do amazing concept work like never done before.
I was a female teen in the 90s and only noticed the existence of boybands after a bigger one disbanded and never bothered to get into any of them. I also didn't like Hiphop/Rap. And yet... now I'm here and love it!
I learned so many many new things with and from BTS.
At the beginning I didn't understand "Fire".
I only learned to understand it when Dr. Jiyoung Lee in her Ted Talks brought up certain lyrics from the song that are unfortunately wrongly translated on the official MV but can be read on the 1theK channel:
"It's okay to loose."
When you know that on average in SK highschool students learn 15 hours a day and are compared constantly it makes a difference if you hear that sentence without any buts and ifs.
How often do we hear it without anyone saying "next time", "should have worked harder", "x has the advantage of y/is more talented", etc.?
We are not "spoons" (used to explain classes in SK = BTS were considered "dirty spoons" like mentioned in MicDrop). We are people and it is okay to enjoy ones youth.
"Fake Love" is more complicated as there two storylines within:
1. The older of the BU (=Bangtan Universe) story that is as complex - if not more so - than the MCU: MVs (beginning with the origial adult MV of "I need U"), trailers, "On stage: Prologue", Short films, notes/books, a webtoon "Save Me", a mobile game "BTS Universe Story" and we are getting a K-Drama called "Youth" (the trailer is already out).
As such your "product placement" is actually not that - even as the Snickers twitter account is smug about it - but connects to J-Hope's character story and is rather sad. The fire and water - real, so the fire was naturally enhanced to look bigger - are also representing trauma of the characters that connect to them.
2. The "Love Yourself" triology that tells the story of a relationship. In the first it builds up as this seemingly perfect love with already the first doubts in the outro. We are on the second album "LY: Tear" and "Fake Love" is the title song. Here we go from the "I don't know" to the "I just know why" the relationship hurts so much that it destroys it - because the singer tried to be perfect for this relationship and that is just not how it works. In the last compilation album we get "LY: answer": we have to "love" imperfect selfs first before we can create healthy relationships with others.
Relationships are compromises but it shouldn't be so much that you are hurting, denying who you really are or loose yourself to it. It's a give and take, sometimes more in one direction but only temporary if that happens. Otherwise it is toxic and self-destructive.
The story is told in 3 albums which has a natural flow from the album before that (Wings is about Hermann Hesse's book Demian and tells a story of growing up not forced by celestial or more human rulers but under aspects of Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy and Carl Jung's psychology theories) to the 2 albums after that - the Map of the Soul: To love yourself you have to know yourself: psychology
(Did you watch the whole MV till the end? because it would have been real interesting to see your reaction to the interlude in the MV and with HYBE artists it is well worth it to watch it till the last second)
"Black Swan" is part of the "shadow" in the sense that is defined by Carl Jung - so it is applied psychology - their biggest fear as artist: the death of passion for their craft.
Exploring your "unconscious", your fears, the stuff that wants to make you run from yourself and keeps you up at night is scary and hurtful - but necessary to know who you are, to find your "true self". We are more than our postive sides.
It's also based on the psychological thriller by the same name.
Even "MicDrop" is not only superficial aesthetics. There is also a lot of their own history in that MV.
The English song were bright as they were pick-me-ups/gifts to Army - because the pandemic was a dark time for many around the world. It is also true that the "coming of age" story they told ended in 2020 and - despite the pandemic album Be - they were supposed to pause for individual music and military service. But politicians created a law to delay them, the fandom still suffered under the pandemic, they were offered opportunities not only in awards but also in representation for their country - which they thought they needed to fullfill - that the whole thing got delayed while they had trouble to write music for the group. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They did end up given a third UNGA speech (this time for the SDG moment (Social development Goals)) with diplomatic passports and a full performance in the UN building, doing a briefing at the White House for the " issues of anti-Asian hate crimes, Asian inclusion and diversity" at the Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) months proceedings and where named as ambassador for Youth in SK.
They and their label are called innovative for a reason and are on international lists for that - when no other label is mentioned.
What they do is very complex, They are not just an "overperformer" group but real musicians.
Taylor Mari's overview is actually very short.
If you want context you can try bby gang mag/Elliot Sang who is made quiet a few interesting video essays about them.
Your best bet is *"The* *Rise* *of* *Bangtan"* -series which is our best documentary (the bonus is funny). It explains context and it is themed to very interesting topics. At the beginning we get numbers and Idol music specific data/numbers in the Korean context. Later we have for example an episode on the difference between stage persona and the real self and how tricky that it.
You spoke about authenticity - a rather toxic word but it can describe the members of BTS - and to that I can name for example Coldplay's positive reaction to them (you should watch how Chris Martin introduces Jin at their concert in Argentina for Jin's first and last performance of his good-bye song "The Astronaut" at the Coldplay concert; mainy written by Coldplay - with Jin writting the Korean lyrics) or Paul McCartney who was asked in an interview for his own promotion if he believed that real authentic musicians still existed (in a tone that suggested otherwise) and got the unexpected answer of BTS and how they reminded hin of his own time with the Beatles or Ryūichi Sakamoto who composed with Suga from BTS for Suga's album one last song before his death and geuinily liked Suga and was amazed by his love for music and composing.
"if you listen without prejudice you will find music you like" Suga
Thank you for the second chance! They are well worth listening to!
Borahae! 💜
Army you worked so hard 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Your comment is pure gold, thank you🫶🏻
Wow. You really got to the heart of the matter and I am left speechless with gratitude. Thank you. Borahae. 💜💜
This!!!!!
If, as he has said, he really reads all comments, this insightful and significant post should give him lots of room for reflection! Because I really resonate to reactions of a complete performance, no matter how long, I will wait to subscribe until he understands how valuable a reaction to a complete performance is to Armys. In the meantime, his knowledgeable and thoughtful reactions have impressed me! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Wow. Youre right
I don't think people wanted you to listen to Mic Drop because of what you said. We recommend Mic Drop probably the most consistently out of all of the songs to newbies 😆
What you said about not being able to enjoy music at times, I feel that. Not necessarily about music, but once our passion becomes out job, I feel like it can very easily turn into something you approach analytically rather than emotionally. And if you do it all day every day it can also lose the charm and feel like you have digged into every crevice of the passion and now there's notheing left to discover. It becomes mundane and you burn out.
I'm glad that the Black Swan era where they felt like that seems to be over now. Specifically RM (the guy woth the awesome voice) struggled a lot with it and only confirmed that he was out of the woods after he released his solo album Indigo. He took a thorough break and it seemed to help a lot. God knows they needed a break. They have worked harder than anyone I've ever seen for such a long time. They did it because they wanted to, not because they were forced to, but it doesn't mean they're immune to a burn-out. It probably only helped them last as long as they did without a proper extended break and it's a little ironic that their break is basically their military service.
I'm sorry if people were harsh before. I was probably harsh myself, but I did say I'll give you a chance if I come across your channel again and I'll see another reaction, which is what I'm doing. I'm honestly ok with people not enjoying their music or not being in love with them, but I do feel protective of them in the sense that unfortunately, they have gotten such sh*t over the years despite proving over and over that they deserve the level of success that they got, It's hard to ignore when people just dismiss them based on assumptions and preconcieved notions. Granted, the song choices didn't help, but since they are their most popular tracks (don't get me started on why, the rant would be too long), it makes sense that you chose those.
BTS do write their own songs and often produce too. They don't do it for all songs, but members like RM and Suga are widely respected as songwriters and producers. Suga produces for other artists when he has time. Try RM's Wild Flower. The song literally helped artists that worked on it with him out of a hard time. For Suga, I would actually recommend a trilogy: Daechwita, Haegeum and Amygdala. There is a connection between them, so it's better to listen to them one after another.
I'll start by thanking you for giving them a second chance. However, it's not so much that Army dislikes that others don't like what they do. It's completely fine if you don't like it, but your comments sounded a bit condescending. The problem is that people often disregard their talent because of preconceived ideas, deeming them as another boy band for screaming teenagers. But they are great artists and deserve to be treated as such. They worked hard to get to where they are and craft their songs with great care. Most people start listening to them through Dynamite, and it's a great song, but it's not representative of what they usually do. And btw, the Mic Drop suggestion wasn't a pointed suggestion, it really is a fan favorite, haha 💜
Wonder why he thought it was pointed 🤔 I would have suggested Idol. Or the Cyphers. Bet he’d love RM’s verse in Cypher Pt. 4 🙃
@@7Flowers1Dream He thought it was pointed because the song is directed at haters. But I agree, Idol is one of my favorites. Although it might be a bit confusing to react to as an introduction without context, haha. The cyphers are definitely worth reacting to, even if I prefer Ugh!, Ddaeng and Outro : Tear 💜
@@kuroro9949 Oh, I know that was why, I was being playful/sarcastic.😈 Guess he found one of those “traps” Suga talks about. 😂
Ddaeng is probably my favorite rap line song and Ugh is almost therapeutic at this point. Tear is one of their saddest songs to me, but it’s also very good.
@@7Flowers1Dream Yah, Suga and his traps. Aren't they so effective indeed? He definitely fell for it, haha
I agree with you, Ddaeng is also my favorite. But I just love Hobi's part so much in Tear 💜
Jimin the ultimate performer. All the members can dance and they mostly dance hip hop, but Jimin majored in modern and contemporary dance, he's the go to for artistic dance and acrobatics.
I’m still hope you react to ‘The Rise of Bangtan’ the series 🥺 it’s fan made documentary and it’s good. You’ll know more about them 😊
Plus the bonus and deleted scenes that go with each episode.
@@SilverFang95yes Bonus Content and Delete Scenes is a must too 😆
"not geniune" is really not a way to describe bts and their music, may it be english or korean
Just commented on older video but I'm sorry if you're overwhelmed by ARMY lol.
Would recommend BTS guide by Taylor if you want to get to know where they came from, what their message is, and who they are individually (personally and musically)
If not that then I'd recommend solo work. The member called Jin had a song written for him by Chris Martin who he is very close with and they did an AMAZING live performance. Looking forward to any future reactions :)
I'm very inpatient about it lol
Jimin is "that one guy." RM is the rapper your are thinking of.😊
(And we sometimes comment a lot 😅
Not trying to be annoying, we just get excited talking about bts stuff occasionally hehe
That probably ends in good results for the algorithm tho 🤔
So good for you I guess? 🤷🏻♀️)
I loved your comments. The first part about fake love, love is an action and Jesus Christ is love, As a believer I totally agree. I am 60 year old Army, (only been Army a year) . I do not usually get into fan driven or what is popular. I am more cautious in the music I listen to. I was totally taken back by BTS. I never would have thought I would like rap, nor music I can't understand ( I still check out english lyrics) or just be part of what is considered a "fan group.," (BTS - Army is not really the classic fan group)until BTS. Really check out Taylors guide.. I think you will be surprised. I have been moved to tears numerous times listening to their songs. As a believer I have been shocked at what these young men have been able to accomplish in the short years (10 years) they have been together. The way they have impacted the world, BTS is considered a movement. So enjoy your journey. Also, if you think Army will not watch long reactions you are mistaken. We watch full concerts, so prefer listening to the whole song. 💜
Everything you said at the end . . .apply the complete opposite to BTS. THE most genuine group I have every seen and talented on multiple levels. Look up their song writing credits and producing credits and you will see how different they are from your comments. Old ARMY here who is a big music fan and has followed a lot of group and individuals over the years, attended A LOT of live shows/concerts and nothing compared to BTS when I saw them live. They are just MORE in all aspects of entertaining on top of being the nicest most honest people. Keep going, learn more.
I felt like you before knowing about BTS, you can't compare other boy bands to them because they compose their own music since the first album which is crazy. Of course there are a few other producers involved but the 3 rappers here make like 90% of their music. The sounds are them, the lyrics are them one of them (Suga) produces music for other artists besides BTS. You should listen the song 134340 or Dead Leaves live version if you want to dissect their musicality. Cheers!
The one in Black Swan whose voice you said was amazing is Namjoon aka RM, and he's actually the leader of BTS. I would like to recommend his solo song Wildflower. I think you would like it a lot.
These guys write and produce their own songs, with the exception of the full English ones. They grew up together in a one room apartment and were in a company that had hardly any money and no pull. They fought for everything they have. A true underdog story. Their journey is unique and inspiring!!!! To lump them into "boyband" is lazy. You are still coming from your self ascribed judgemental place. You have every right to like what you like, but don't make judgements when you know nothing about them. You are looking with Western eyes, it's a different culture.
And just a note the Snickers wasn't product placement. It's part of the BU, a series of videos that tells an over arching story. In the story, JHope is abandoned by his mother who gives him a Snickers to keep him distracted while she leaves. It's heart breaking.

Recomendo o Guide to the Bangtan 7 para conhecer os membros Bts e The Most Beautiful Lif Goes On a story of bts é sobre a discogafia e como chegaram ao sucesso.
yeah ok the preach-y stuff was a bit uncomfortable tbh, you do you and believe in what you wnat but i'm not here to receive a sermon especially as an mis-interpretation of music i like that has a deep meaning of it's own so that felt weird... for your info they did a whole trilogy of albums called the "Love Yourself" trilogy that dealt with self-love and self-acceptance and not holding yourself to love that was superficial, and not waiting for external love, but instead finding the true acceptance and peace within yourself
Just doing my best to share the meaning of life :) Ps. It's not self love, it's Jesus love!
The central dancer in black swan is Jimin, he's a brilliant dancer who will always catch your eyes during their performances and he also has a very unique and rare voice tone. Bts members writes and produces most of their songs. The rapper you liked is RM, he's the leader and is known for his eloquent words and his IQ of 148. The first guy in mic drop is J-hope, he's a dance machine and the dance leader of bts and also a rapper. The first guy in Fire who did the hand shake is Suga, He's a brilliant rapper and the main producer in bts, he has a crazy number of song copyrights and is known for his raw lyrics. There is also Jungkook, the younger one, he's the main vocalist and he's very good at every thing he does, literally EVERYTHING. and there's V, the perfect baritone voice and he loves Jazz music. Last but not least, there's Jin, he's known as the silver voice, his solo songs are just out of this world. Hope you get to know them more and I'm sure you'll be amazed at their unique talent 💜 and by the way, k-pop groups especially bts are nothing like American boy bands and you'll know that after diving in their music and the hard work behind it.
In South Korea every able-bodied man is required to serve in the military for 18-24 months before they are 28. The only ones that are exempt from this requirement are athletes who medal at the Olympics or win a Gold medal in the Asian Games, classical musicians and ballet dancers who win certain prestigious competitions. That's it. BTS got an exemption from the Korean government after much debate to delay their service until 30. It's called the BTS Law - a k-pop aritis who was recommended by the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism to have greatly enhanced the image of Korea both within the nation and throughout the world" would be allowed to postpone their military service until age of 30 if they do not have an extraordinary reason. The only ones who qualified are/were BTS. The members announced in 2022 that they'd be taking a hiatus to explore solo work and do their mandatory military service in order to come back as a group in 2025. In September of this year, they extended their contract with their management company for the second time. Thus far, all of them have released solo projects with Jungkook (the youngest) having released two singles and having announced an album release in November. Three of the members are already in the military. RM is likely the next one to join. The three youngest may join sequencially or together. If you listen to their solo work during this hiatus, you'd realize how different their musical styles can be. However, no song on any BTS album is chosen unless every member agrees. There are themes to their albums - the School Trilogy, the Youth Trilogy, Love Yourself Trilogy and the two Map of the Soul albums. There are standalone albums and singles that have been released as well. I'm a 53 year old ARMY and have been a fan since 2014. ARMY is automatically very protective because of the prejudice, hate, and unfairness that BTS has encountered throughout their music career. Many call themselves ARMY but act like typical fans (attacking others, liking only one member, etc.) True ARMY emulates the behavior of BTS - don't speak poorly of others, explain things as politely as possible, do good, and love ourselves. Thank you for your reaction.
Don't cut the videos please
You would be happy to know that they do write and produce their pwm music. 👍🏻
Tiny Desk with V from a couple of days ago is amazing, jazzy vibe. And JungKook with Seven and 3D is a pop star
Pls react to the guide to bts💜
Borahae
le dancer in black swan his name park jimin the king of k-pop and ILOVE YOUR REACTION good lack
Highly recommend Taylor's guide to BTS!!! BTS are literally different from other Artists. Their lyrics are more deeper than u think. We are very protective over them because they had suffered a lot in the past. They raised themselves from bottom where now other artist have some support while BTS raised themselves and their company (Big Hit). They helped a lot of people through their speeches, lyrics and motivational words where no one does now adays.
Thank you for looking at their korean tracks. you get a whole different perspective and see why they are so loved 😁💜🫶
the thing with bts is that they’re really just incomparable to western boy bands. i can see the point you’re making with one direction, nsync, etc, but just know that bts are very different compared to those groups. in their large discography of music, consisting of over 300 songs, they have written and produced over 90% of them. the three members rm, j-hope, and suga each have over 150 komca credits to their name (korea music copyright association, meaning the songs that they have taken part in making). another thing that greatly separates them from this original “western boyband” stereotype is their close bond. like other groups, a great example being one direction who went on a hiatus and now no longer have contact with each other, bts are truly brothers who love each other. due to their mandatory military service, they had to put a halt to their group activities and promotions, and because of this they continued through with solo music. even with this “hiatus” that most believed meant that they were breaking up, they continue to support each other and are always seen hanging out with each other, talking about each other, and so much more. rather than having this superficial image of those bands that truly had no bond and were together solely because of their company, bts have a true friendship with each other that they constantly prove to be a real one. their discography has nearly every genre that one can think of, if you take a look at their b-sides on albums rather than only their title tracks, you will get to see their versatility and great lyricism. honestly, i’ve never found a group like them, and im so happy that i found such genuine artists to support.
Watch their live concerts
They have both solos in BTS albums & outside. I think the Wings solos are good. Those being-
Reflection (RM), Awake (Jin), First Love (Suga), Mama (J-Hope), Lie (Jimin), Stigma (V), Begin (Jungkook)
Tho my fav solos are-
Interlude: Shadow (Suga), Epiphany (Jin), Inner Child (V)
The main dancer in Black Swan .. he's Jimin💜💜
He is a contemporary dancer and has learned eight other types of dance in addition to martial arts
The dancer I love most in this world.. I tried to suggest some of his performances to you, but I cannot because I will suggest all of them😂😂
If you continue watching them, you will see that he is wonderful.. In addition, they are all amazing.. Even apart from their songs, they have wonderful personalities and amazing ideas as human beings.
This is what made me fall in love with them all💜💜
NOT a snickers placement - you need to go down the rabbit hole of BTS - don't react if you don't know the story!!!!!! WOW i am a bit disappointed. everyone of their songs have extreme meaning.
I appreciate you being open minded and glad you liked it! Cant wait for more videos from you :) Also the rapper you talked about is RM, the leader! Lets say hes an interesting person lol
I highly recommend you watch this:
"The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS" by Rice Squad
"A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7" by Taylor Mari
BTS is the biggest group in the world and one of the most successful artists right now
The group consists of 7 members (including 3 rappers and 4 vocalists) from South Korea.
As a group BTS have a huge amount of songs(300+),
they make music in a lot of different genres and styles (Hip-Hop, R&B, Pop, EDM, Latin Pop, Ballad, ...+).
They are all songwriters and music producers, and also each of them has their own solo stuff,
so depending on what kind of music you are interested in, you really have a lot to choose from
I think it's really interesting that you resonate more as a musician with their Korean lyrics. Black Swan especially was written at a time when they were all struggling within the band and considering their future.
Glad you gave them another chance 😊
The commentary is soo half assed and just like other reactors watching bts bcoz bts = views. Idk if u really a fan of music but ARMY are fan of musics so we perceive their song differently and appreciate their arts more. Bcoz bts is soo involved in each of their arts. They’re excellent artists. Theyre not ur typical white boyband. They sounds FAR DIFFERENT AND MUCH BETTER THAN GENERIC WHITE POP
