    Hi ! About the purple whale. The purple color is the official color of the fandom and the whale is a reference to their song "Whalien 52". They wrote it when things were not great, talking about their dream to reach many people whith their songs, but they couldn't be heard. The title of this song is a combination of "Alien" and a whale named "Whale 52". This whale is unique. It was discovered in the 90s and her particularity is that her song is at 52 hertz so low that no other type of whales can hear it. It was surnamed "the most lonely creature in the world". So for me, the purple whale is BTS and ARMY, all in one ^^.

    people have said so many negative things to me about loving BTS. but you know what man compared to a lot of current music out there its refreshing to hear the lyrics and music these guys put out. their songs make you feel things, good things. and the deeper you get into their music and their lives and their story you will discover such an amazing group of guys who create amazing music. there's no reason you cant love BTS and metal. I do. But I've always had a tough time in my life and very introverted and I self hate a lot. but having BTS and their music as part of my life makes me feel that i too am important and special although i dont always feel that way. haters going to hate players gonna play. keep rockin

      You sound just like me! My mother was often unkind to me and so were people at my school, then a boss that I worked with for many years.
      But I survived all of those people, and now I'm working to have a better life.
      I try not to engage in self hate, because then I would just be doing their work for them.
      And that is one of the reasons why I love BTS so much, they have been mocked, degraded and discriminated against in so many different ways, but they never gave up no matter what and now they are on top of the world. 💜
      That's what I want for all of us - to be on top in our own world. 💖

    Idol was the 1st BTS song my husband showed me. (We lived in Korea for a year, and after idol was trending he thought it'd remind me of Korea. It was so chaotic I didn't think I liked it at 1st (1st BTS mv? Yeah show her idol 😂) but I kept coming back to it and more of their songs came out and I learned everything I could about them.

    Idol feels like a celebration or a grand parade. I think this is because all 7 have finally come to terms with their celebrity status and what it meant. 2018 was the most challenging year for them, and this song, I think symbolized their commitment to becoming idols. With their outfits, they were trolling their trolls and haters. Suga wearing snow white because people are mocking his nearly translucent white skin. J-HOPE is being mocked for his lanky body. RM is being trolled because he uses cutesy filters during his livestreams. By embracing these things, they're saying, yeah that's fine, we're that too.

    one of my favorite quotes from RM.....RM said "let the haters hate and let the lovers love" and he said that in Las Vegas Concert in April 2022 to Army...the purple whale in BTS Island in the seom was designed by jin and he explained the meaning of the whale upholding the island. He said that the magical creature was called a Sky Whale and he chose to represent it as the foundation of the BTS universe since as the group has many connections to this specific animal. The whale keeps them grounded even as they soar(meaning the whale is Army)... keep your head up and love your reactions. 💜💜

    Whenever I have some kind of identity crisis and don't know "who I am" anymore - I think about the line from this song: "There are hundreds of me's inside of me
    , I'm facing a new me again today, It's all me anyway". And then I realize that it's ok. I have different sides to me, I feel different sometimes, I have different interests and that is ok. "It's all me anyway". There is no reason to define who I am, whatever I feel in the moment, it's all me.

    On the lighter side - do you think Jimin will ever get through a song,and manage to keep his jacket on his left shoulder? It's like he's in a loosing battle with his clothes. Not that anyone objects💖. And you can always play a fun game of 'When will he show his shoulder?'.

Its an amazing song because BTS really did have to close their ears to haters and not listen to any of them. I also love their message for us , they maybe singing about them but its also a message too us as well, to be ourself and love who we are and thats important. Anyway thats just my thoughts thanks for you reaction. Oh and Whatcha got to say ( I know I spelled it wrong) but they are great and love BTS and you will enjoy them fully.

    I love this song! This is one of those songs we are blessed with Jimin's low register growl on. Also like you say Jhope's dance stands out for you.. and it does for me as well, but there is just something about the way Jimin moves that makes it hard for me to take my eyes off of him on stage. He always is just a bit more extra than the other guys when he dances.
    Also wanted to say I'm really sorry you're getting hate from your 'friends'. 💜 Some ppl just aren't even willing to give them a chance and are happier hanging onto what their preconceived notions of the group are which is fine I guess if they want to continue to miss out on their amazing talent. I just wish they could be respectful of the rest of us and our opinions.

    I don't understand why these people had to just "hate" on something that they don't have any idea about. That's what you call ignorance and pure negativity - hating on someone or something without even knowing about them. How can someone live that way?! You are right, they aren't happy, jealousy lives in their hearts, John.
    No matter what genre we are in, even if BTS music isn't their thing, they are people who are good, kind, generous and have care for humanity and youth at large. So everyone should respect and show love. One does not deserve any kind of hate for just being true and genuine.
    I've been here in your channel since I don't remember when but I believe it was during your early days in BTS and I've seen how your family grew. Now we're close to 10k! If they have only seen that and the increase in number of people in your discord, they wouldn't say or accuse you of buying views. That's insane, I mean we are real people who watch with you every single time!

I know how much she likes it and I can still appreciate it because I know someone spent their time making it and it means something special to them.

      It’s crazy to me that they get categorised as a “boy band”. All the boy bands I’ve ever experienced are a group where one person can sing and another maybe is there to do high notes. The rest are just to make up the numbers and are kept firmly in the background. BTS couldn’t be more different. Every member is bursting with talent.

      my friends rag on me so much for loving BTS. heavy metal and black metal are my main genres and most of my friends are like that. i seek out reactors for that very reason. i don't have many people to enjoy their music with. they thought i lost my mind for going all the way to Vegas to see them.
      anyway! if i were at a punk show and heard a BTS song...idk what i'd do. lol that'd be amazing. check out this version of Fake Love: ruclips.net/video/ZPZzj1aK5Wg/видео.html

    Great reaction to Idol. Nice to see you're going to interview with WG2S. I've been watching Nico & the gang for about 4 years now for their BTS content, which is approximately when they started their BTS journey (although I only watch reaction channels on RUclips, not Patreon, Twitch or whatever). BTS is pretty much all they do. Since you asked what might be another possible question to ask them, then how about this... "What would your feelings be if BTS, or any solo, changed up again & turned more rock&roll & metal? Or even NuMetal." They loved "More" & they welcome anything that BTS has done & whatever they will do.
    Also, John, speaking of podcasts, I would love to see you do podcasts with other metalhead reactors to discuss BTS. I would say the most prominent metal heads that I can think of off the top of my head follows (there are others though) ...
    - Jim Games (producer & gamer), he is up to date with the Rise of Bangtan series... he is very ARMY. Might be best candidate.
    - Blake Makes Music (rock producer).
    - Champ of Medium (knows BTS a lot, part of Gaijin Guys podcast, see below).
    - Mad Ang (knows BTS, hasn't done many reactions recently).
    - SeptaSOAREous Rex (metalhead couple new on their BTS journey, has already started Rise of Bangtan). Good candidate.
    - Infinite Music Reactions (from the UK).
    - Destructive Media .
    - Local Band Smokeout (total newbie, recently reacted to "More" but knows nothing of J-Hope nor BTS), maybe not a good candidate yet, if ever, lol.
    I say this because I follow another podcast with 4 separate channel reactors having come together for a once-a-week podcast because their interest is in J-Rock (Japanese Rock music), with the prominent band that got them together was Band-Maid, which you should also react to. That podcast is Gaijin Guys, which you should check out for ideas, if you should pursue a multi-reactor podcast (about BTS or metal/rock, etc) in the future.

    The people who gave me crap for listening to BTS have been cut out of my life. I never talked about BTS, never tried to get anyone to listen to their music or watch anything relating to them. I kept it all to myself and people still had a problem with me listening to it. The only reason I can think of is because it made me happy and that really sucked for them and their miserable lives. The amount of stress that has been lifted off of me now that they are gone is actually kind of surprising. You don't always notice all of the little ways someone brings you down. You just have to find something important enough to you that you don't want to be separated from it.

    I love Idol so much, I always listen to this song to help me feel better. And I am so sorry that you have to go through that, I was fortunate to not receive any hate when I became Army but I know plenty people who have and it’s not right. Unfortunately there is jealous and hateful people in every aspect of life. I was bullied a lot when I was younger which used to really effect me and get to me but as I’ve got older I realised that they were just being jealous and hateful and that’s normally because they have been hated on and bullied themselves so they do it to others which is wrong. I know it’s hard but Please try to stay positive, think of all of us who are here for you and who love and care about you. Never change who you are John your awesome. You’re one of us now and we always got your back 💜

    I'm a rock fan John. I love every kinds of genre that can alternate with rock and I grow up like that. But when it comes to BTS, it's different. Of course they have so many song that we can consider as a alternative version of rock (pop rock kind of things) but you know, it's not THE rock. I get criticism for that too. Not my fam or close up friends but the others. Anyways, ther is this saying in my country "who has mouth, they speak" basically, everybodies speak even if they have no thoughts on subjects, it doesn't matter because they have mouths. I hope you have a nice day. And thank you for reaction!

    I'm sorry that you are going through the shaming and hate, you are awesome, so kind and genuinely show love. I hope you know that we love you and your family. All of my children go through depression and anxiety, in fact one of my kiddos has the body dysmorphia as well. All of it is so hard to see your children go though. I have my own set of issues but like you I found BTS when I needed them the most, they are helping me get through one of the toughest times in my life.
    Epiphany was on one-day and I was singing along like I normally do, but found myself crying, singing 'I'm the one I should love.' I had always put everyone above me including my husband, who now I see that wasn't giving the love I deserved back. We are now separated after being married for over 25 years, it's hard to what feels like starting over but I am happier now. I have my family, my kiddos, BTS and ARMY. 💜

    Hey John. Thank you for this reaction. Although I first heard about them through Boy with Love, Idol is the song that got me into BTS. I saw them perform Idol on Jimmy Fallon and it was love at first sight (and listen) lol. Although I couldn’t understand most of the lyrics, I heard Jimin clearly say “you can’t stop me loving myself.” I was hooked. Then the lovely Namjoon, the colorful outfits, the spectacular choreo, the energy, the positivity, all of it was overwhelming and awesome at the same time.
    I love your reactions because they’re thoughtful and thorough. I like the lyric video, dance practice, explanation video then live performance format you’re using.
    Never mind the haters. Very few people in my real life know I’m Army because I get a lot of sh*t I don’t have time for. I’ll tell them why I love BTS once. But if they don’t get it or at least respect it, then I don’t bother engaging any further. BTS’ message of love yourself has taken over me and I’m not turning back 😁. I’m looking forward to your podcast with Whacha got to say. I love those guys and their enthusiasm. They are, like us, true ARMY 💜

    You don't have to feel sorry or apologetic for doing something you love, enjoy, and bring happiness to your life. If it doesn't negatively affect other people's lives, it's ok. Also, if people avoid, hate, or walk away from you because of your taste in music, it means they never were meant to be by your side. Don't mind other people and enjoy.

  • @B16pal
    @B16pal 2 года назад +3

    I get so much SH** from extended family members and friends for enjoying BTS - these of course are all people who haven't heard any songs by them or know anything about them 🙄 But because BTS is a so-called 'boy-band' of young good-looking men, my family/friends act like typical western bigoted music snobs and assume BTS aren't talented and don't make 'real music'
    It's depressing, and their negativity can really drag me down sometimes. I totally get where you are coming from. But I just remind myself that there's a wealth of positivity out there in BTS' music (which can always perk me right up) and among RUclips reactors like you who take the time to be open-minded enough to give BTS a few shots and learn about them and come to appreciate their art, talent, and who they are as people and artists. For a while, while I watch your videos, you and reactors like you become my chosen temporary family, so I want to THANK YOU for the positivity you bring to my life. You make a difference for lonely BTS fans like me. Remember that - you make the world a better space for me and others to live in. Please don't let the haters bring you down. Then they win.

    And yes Jhope gets like that when he dances quite often actually, you can tell he's really feeling the music, etc.... it just radiates off of himself. Its insanely amazing to watch. And yes some of the others do something similiar, such as when you pointed out Jimin showing a more intense side of himself. They all have their own unique ways of showing off that intensity. They show it in each of their own ways, in their own styles! But yes, Hobi's is one of the most amazing to watch, at least in my opinion. But that again, that's just one reason that man is called the "King of Dance" and "King of Performance!"

For me, they are happiness personified in 7 different ways that bring love and joy every single day. I can honestly say I owe my mental health to them. Love your honest and in depth reactions and the fact that it's obvious that you really want to understand what they do, in all facets of theirs music and artistry.

I've become more positive, compassionate, patience and grateful because of them so what can be wrong about that? Don't forget you have a whole Army who has your back and we protect our own!
