Hey Army! : ) Sorry about the arabic subtitles. Forgot to turn off the CC. I could still read the words behind them though 🤷♂️. Thanks for all of your comments and subs. I am super excited to discover more about BTS. Love their story and their music so far!!
As you said... lazy journalism. We keep dealing with this even with xenophobic media, blatant prejudice, and condescending tones in articles. It's quite rough, but we move forward with a strong mindset and positivity. There's different reasons why people love them and writing it down... it's going to take me some time. To make it short: music really transcends language. With them and ARMYs, I've found commonality and I've learned different things. For example, they have launched a global project (Connect, BTS ) to connect 5 cities (London, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Seoul and New York) and 22 artists across the globe and their statement was: "“This project is especially meaningful to us because it truly represents diversity and creates a collective, positive message for the world that we value.” Well, just wanted to say thank you for reacting to this video and learning more about them. They have a new single coming out on January, 17 and their new album release is on February, 21. Have a good day!
Their mesage “Love myself” is not a promotion but real thoughts because they actually went through a lot as an idol that they started to doubt themselves and became insecure. This love yourself album series is actually healing for them.
Just wanna say that although their message is one of the huge reasons they are so huge, but at the end of the day it's always the music. Please don't underestimate the music. It's a combination of a lot of things, but the songwriting is so top notch. They can do/say all these amazing things, but if their music isn't good then they wouldn't be where they are. Plus its because the men themselves are incredible people.
But I think the music also says carries the spoken message. I agree though that it's hard to make that clear. It's the sheer volume and quality of the music and spectacle of their shows but also because underpinning that, the whole BTS package is so consistent that the fans become and remain so loyal
Suga once said that it was like having a music field, each one brought something and the producers gathered or corrected everything. And he said that k pop is an amalgamation of music, lyrics, visuals, video clips, choreography and many other details. For me they did it all and expanded the frontiers of it in all fields
The West does not know how to process BTS/their achievements, and it shows! It's kind of funny to watch the media try, but also hell of frustrating. There was actually a very well thought out video done by "bby gang" called, "BTS vs. KPOP: a video essay" that covers their success, rise to fame, and how they got there. I would recommend it over most professionally done videos any day. It's honestly pretty brilliant! If you want to know more, you should check it out! I'm super excited to watch you discover more about our boys!
I saw this one and it is brilliant! The way he treats the debate on whether or not BTS is k pop and what k pop is is simple, informative and in the end a very personal view of the group. I really loved that video!
Ok I just checked out that video and holy shit it is the best video I have seen till now hands down! It needs more views, I have saved the video and I will link it under genuine YT channels
Same DT. Same. Lazy journalism and just lack of respect for them. If they actually respect them as real artists, they would believe there is more to them and therefore will do real research (the information is out there). It’s easy to just slap a label and stereotype on them and just get clicks for mentioning their name. I’m really glad you watched this and get to understand they are more than what people assume.
XCeleste has amazing content about BTS. Hardship videos, also BTS contribution to music is a really good one. It would be great for you to start learning more about the members individually because they are all genuine, talented, kind and humble people. The UN speech I also suggest watching too. Thanks for watching and looking forward to this journey with you!! 💜
Agree celeste does really great work highlighting bts's journey through her vids. I also really like the vids where she digs into all the theories, literary and philosophical references in their body of work.
Bulletproof Dreamers I agree with you honestly, there’s a great one called “BTS INTRODUCTION: Who is BTS? A guide” by bangbangtan that is really well done and then the introduction series by gadaursan is amazing and really well done too. Those are the ones I would personally recommend
@@bulletproofdreamers8541 I support you actually but there's no other bts introduction video made by fan to recommend to the newbies about bts members so i guess we just can't be helped but to suggest that video :')
Thankyou for taking the time to watch this Celeste video and for understanding why the boys are where they are today, we as army support our boys not just for their music but for their message and the amazing work they do to make this world a better place 🙏 you just gained a subscriber 💜
They are the reason why I love myself even more and believe in ourselves 💕 I learned to love KPop just last year because of them. The message of their music is very relatable.
These “from nobodies to legends” videos always make me emo TT I got so frigging happy what you said about “lazy journalism” because that’s something we army’s are very familiar with, unfortunately... And people who use them for clout etc.. glad to have you on board!
Actually every groups in Kpop works very hard especially before they debut they have to spend many years as trainee,so when the time comes company will debut them so in korea if u r nt frm the big 3 company(SM, JYP, YG) it will be hard from the start to gain fans and popularity. This is why BTS were different from them, they really start from the bottom, works even more hard than others and finally after all those struggles for years they rise and see how far they fly now, we Armys were really proud to see them success and we really love them as human not because they are artist or idol. Hope to see more reaction frm you about BTS then u will more understand why we love them so much^^
As a fan since the beginning I have often been appalled by how often they have been misrepresented by uninformed journalists. Thank you for calling them out. It is appreciated that you got beneath the surface to understand what BTS are really about and have expressed a genuine interest.
I'd love to watch you react to BTS CONTRIBUTION TO MUSIC by the same creator of this one. ☺ Thank you for taking time knowing BTS and their beautiful message. New subscriber here!
Now u understand why we ARMY love them soooo much. Im in the 27% grup, 40 yo n have 2 daughters who love bts.. We plan to go to their concert together. Thank you for the appreciation n understanding n 1 of the reasons why we r being loud of the western (n sometimes eastern too) media.. Just yesterday bts launched connect bts a project funding by them of arts projects in 5 cities and their main goal is to send positive message to the world thru arts but some of the headlines are misleading n invite trolls to ridicule them. Of course ARMY come but it really frustrating (not again 🙄) to face this, it never ending for us..
I am also part of the 27%. I am 44 and one daughter who I've introduced to BTS. We had the opportunity to attend a concert last yr at the Rose Bowl...it was awesome! We are planning to go this yr. I hope you and your daughters get to go and have a fabulous time.
This made me teary eyed. Seeing you get it gives hope that others will some day. So many people won't give them a chance because of the language, call us hormonal teens (I'll be 40 in a couple months)...but it is so much deeper than that. They're giving us something others don't; hope. Hope for us ourselves, and hope for us as a whole. 💜
The western media likes to paint this superficial image regarding bts, that they’re this popular bc it’s new and different and their success is due to lack of American bands. That couldn’t be further from the truth. As you’ve seen what makes bts have this major impact is their message. A lot of groups can have nice songs and cool choreographies but not all have this complex message. Bts began telling their life story through music, through lyrics and videos. All their albums exist in a dialogue with each other telling a story, a story of trauma, desperation, dreams, self love and acceptance. They’re honest and relatable, not in a forced way but a sincere one. I like how you could see the lack of essence in the last video, western media has some lazy journalism, we had real issues with the white media as they’ve kept discriminating bts and being racist
oh my god thank you so much for your reaction, I really appreciate your comments. it's really a struggle with a lot of western media that just continues to be blind and not understand why they're so popular
I’m so glad you reacted to this, I just finished the one by a big station in the US talking about BTS but really not. Lol thank you and appreciate you calling out Lazy Journalism because that was spot on!
Its the message, the artistry, the connection we feel with them, and of course the music. They are insanely creative and talented they write their own lyrics to portray how the feel and we relate to them. And the music is amazing when i first became an army do you think i looked at the lyrics or meaning? No. Because for music there's no language barrier if it sounds good and feels good then you like it whether its in japanese, gaelic, or afrikaans don't matter. Then when i learned the lyrics i also learned they aren't just trying to make a good catchy song they want it to mean something. The way their mvs are, are like literal movies with storylines and hidden meaning. Other content they give at award show connect with the mvs and we have to try a piece it together ourselves. They always want to think about deeper meanings. And to never take things in life at face value. Which is amazing.
Thank you for the reaction! Thanks for calling out lazy journalism and you hit that nail on the head. Their message, music, performances, chemistry and lyrics all amalgamate into this band millions love.
Every time i watch this i cry And get emotionel .. my boys deserve all the good things in this world .. they are not just a boy band as peopel said .. they are legends .. that's why army we will stay with them forever .. supporting and loving them forever
i wish we had more people like you in this world, thank you so much for taking time and being open minded. i hope BTS will continue to change this world and help us find the light within us💜
The more you dive into bts , you see their more then just a kpop group / boyband . Their a MOVEMENT !! While most artists , rappers and singers only talk about partying , sex , drugs , toxic love in their music , BTS does things different. I’m a 23 year old Asian male and is very inspired by them. They work hard to use their music to inspire change, challenge societal stereotypes & norms , spread positivity. They have tackle social issues : mental health and suicide. Korea is a very strict conservative country and never takes mental health problems serious enough . We’ve already loss 3 kpop idols due to suicide. And always keep praying in hopes we don’t lose anyone else . They also tackle following your dreams , motivation , women empowerment, anxiety, government oppression, corrupt academic system that needs change , never giving up , etc . For me , I love them because not just their versatile in genre but also they help take ASIAN REPRESENTATION to whole new level . You don’t see many Asians blowing up on a award show level in music these days . Plus in Media people only look at Asians as weak nerds or Asian girls will be sexualized and have a lead role pair off with a non Asian ( usually white men ) and being fetish by whites due to “yellow fever “ . Growing up in CALI , i didn’t know that what Asians are going through . But I guess it’s because of social media you see them differently compared to tv shows/ movies. But BTS became a huge inspiration for me . Learning to love myself , accept and realize everyone has flaws , everyone will never be perfect .

Omgggg!!! Goosebumps everytimr i hear the crowd singing epiphany 😢 the song, bts, love myself, i love these 7boys,.. Like i never loved any other artists before 😢♥ i lobe them soooo much!!! Soo sooo much!!! Sooo proud of what they are right now,...
I have watched that video some many times but I watching your reaction made me cry, I feel so proud of BTS, I’ve been a fan of them since 2015 and they have worked so hard, they deserve all the recognition, I’m so happy you discovered them.
I saw a clip of this on twitter! I just want to say thank you for taking the time to check this out and understand BTS’s message. The world would be a much nicer place if there were more open-minded people like you! Thanks again, and as Jimin from BTS once said, “You nice, keep going”!
highly recommended, xceleste "BTS Contribution to Music" ✔️ you can see how much they love their craft and gave this healing and sense of belonging to everyone😊 Anyway, i subscribed! i love your thoughts❤
I watched your earlier reaction and felt upset as that does not represent BTS correctly at all but very typical of media views regarding BTS and Kpop in general. I am glad you got the chance to watch this video and that is just the tip of the iceberg. They are amazing composers, producers, lyricist, performers, story tellers and humanitarian. Very humble boys with great personalities. They love their fans and that is why the message in their music is meaningful as they feel sense of responsibility toward their fans. Most importantly, the music is great and lyrics and message even more so. Enjoy the journey to discovering BTS.
They just resonate with you. Their music, their personalities, their values and hard work. When you go deeper into what makes BTS BTS, you can't help but root for them, because they are genuinely good people who worked their ass to make something out of themselves, and in the way didn't became jaded, arrogant. It is such a pure and rare thing that you wanna protect it. And their music is always reflect them, their life, their thoughts so well you drawn to their message and relate to it and take it straight to your heart. My youth is painted with BTS songs and spirit in the background. That is why i always gonna be BTS fan no matter how old i'm gonna get. Now i'm 33. You can bet you see me in a BTS concert in 20, 30 years.
Ive been a fan of BTS for more or less about a year and this is the first time ive watched from nobodies to legends and i legit cried. I've been a kpop fan for about a decade though. I was hesistant to educate myself about BTS even when they were already gaining popularity bec of bad publicity like "they have toxic fans" "theyre overrated" etc. But boy am I glad for that one day that I finally ignored those negative things and started listening to BTS because stanning them has helped me through the worst days of 2019. And its not just about the entertainment aspect they provide. Its about- yes, the message. To watch and listen to these boys, who keep telling fans to love and improve themselves, didnt just distract me from my problems, but helped me reflect and think positively despite the things happening in my life. I'm glad you got to know them better through this video and we appreciate you for appreciating the boys . 💜
Hello DT..I am 69 yrs old..Africanamerican Army since 2013..been to a BTS concert..I brought my 20yr old granddaughter into the Army after myself...it was the best day of my life and I attended concerts by the Jackson 5..James Brown..Prince..but it was just good music..BTS doesn’t just make good music..they transforms you..you start looking at yourself and your life and realizing there is only one you and that’s your super power..BTS was sent by the universe to spread love and acceptance..it’s no coincidence that they are this huge..they are what the world needs right now ...I feel so proud and happy to see my little boys grow up to be great men..I actually love each one of them..thank you for understanding that they are more than just a boy band and I am a new subscriber 😊👵🏽💜🤟🏽🇺🇸#BTS Halmoni Army #BTS Granny#7 years of love#BTS are Angels
Just found your channel because of the BTS reaction. They are absolutely amazing, and you’re absolutely right. A lot of western media especially get lazy, and I also feel like they try to protect the western interests by failing to go deeper into the story. I don’t know how much of it is intentional, but sometimes it feels like the financial interests of US companies, the music industry, media in general, and those in power try to portray the group as appealing only to teenagers and being nothing more than a momentary fad in an attempt to dismiss the reality of their appeal.....in hopes they will fade away and not take any more of the market shares...... they are amazing human beings, intelligent, crazy work ethic, talented.... and goofy as heck..... and wonderfully human and humble. Thank you!
Oh, I’m a bts fan and I’m just watching this video first time together with you and the tear is out but I can’t explain why. I just know I love them and thank you myself to know this people.
That was such a great reaction! You got a new subscriber! I hope you'll check out more of their music. I think it will surprise you! I recommend BTS' latest comeback trailer: Shadow. It's a solo by one of the rappers. They also have a single dropping thursday (we don't know the name yet but we know it features a modern dance group and they're always just so artistic!). Please do BTS' contribution to music by the same channel (XCeleste). It talks about their achievements but also what their role in making the music is. They are very DIY. They have a lot of creative control which makes them unique in the industry and is part of the reason for their success. They've said many times that they want to be remembered for their sincerity. You can feel that in their artistry.
They were the only artists at that time in the company. And the company was under bankruptcy and they made it to a successful company. Now they have 2or 3 artists in that company.
This is why we go hard on our own, the mainstream media narrative 'boyband' this is why, but when you realised how diverse the fans are then you know this is not a boyband thing. Even when they performed live in mainstream media they arrange the younger fans to be at the front just to fit their narrative
I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you so very much for giving BTS a chance; they have truly impacted this decade, they will without a doubt have a strong impact on the next ones as well. Last century it was the Beatles, this century it will be BTS. And I am so thankful to have been given the opportunity to become an ARMY and be a part of something larger than life. I have definitely subscribed!
I'm 46 and I love BTS. My 15 year old daughter has been a kpop fan for a few years and drug me in almost kicking and screaming but I'm so glad she did. We went to the BTS concert last year at MetLife Stadium. It was one of the beat night of our lives. We sat in the nosebleeds but that couldnt stop our joy. It was absolutely amazing. Thank you for giving our boys a chance. .#BTS4AllAges #BTSARMY
they went trough so much and they were always there for each other, example jin's family is actually very wealthy but he left the wealth and comfort and stayed in a small room with 7 boys, practicing for more than 17 hours a day to reach his dreams. he used his allowances too feed other boys and even stole his mom's kitchen utensils to cook for others, it was just an example they are more than a group they are a family :D
Oh ok I'm so glad you got it!!! It really means the world to me when people give them a chance and truly learn about they story (not the one western media usually tell ofc). Looking forward to more bts reactions 💜
Yes lazy journalism is such a pain especially when it comes to them they have always been subjected to be placed within a mold. BTS Contribution to music is a wonderful video to watch as well. Thank you for dabbling further into them.
I have watched the video like several times but it still make me teary eyed. What's the best of BTS is that they remain humble and would rather spend their time with their fans rather than try to impress the so could elite people in society. That's the reason why they are loved by ARMY cause they strive and continue to work hard for their fans.
Thank you for having an open mind & approaching BTS with fairness. Army come in all shapes, ages across culture, religion, language & skin color. Have a nice day 💜
I always turned teary eyed eveytime I watch that video. So happy that I found and knew them. I am older than them, I'm 50, but I'm so glad that in my lifetime I happen to live with them, in thier era.. PROUD ARMY HERE 💜💜💜
Thank you, for being open minded and giving your honest opinion about them. We appreciate it, really. I hope just not the message which is obv what made bts but their music, the beats, the production they pout their hearts into it. The passion for music is incredible, I think is something we all as humans should relate or at least feel motivated to have, passion for something you love. That's the reason they're still here solid. Thank you, again.
welcome to the rabbit hole we call BTS Universe .... it will be an amazing journey ahead .... the more further you go the more you will be the fan of them
I found this reaction because it ended up on twitter, primarily the part about the failures of Journalism. I look forward to seeing some of your other videos. BTS message is what drew me in. Its what sets them apart for me. From the get-go they've been about making a difference and helping people and have NEVER shied away from it. And now with this current Connect project they have going onto promote art, they are always exposing us to new and amazing things. Even to basing some of their music/albums off of books. Like wings being linked to Demian and the Map of the Soul being linked to Carl Jungs psychology book "The Map of the Soul" There are so many references and wordplay in their music, the more you dig into it the more you love it.
Tbh I'm so proud that I witnessed everything from the start and what they've been through motivated me to keep supporting them and sharing their message to the world
No matter how many times I have watched BTS journey it always makes me cry😔 they've touched my heart 💜 I am extremely proud of them of what they have achieved
I still become emotional every time I watch the video "From Nobodies to Legends". Thank you for doing a reaction video of our boys. I am turning 39 years old this year and I have been a fan, an ARMY, since 2013. I am so proud of them, what they have achieved, and still remain humble, as what I know of them since the beginning. 💜💜💜
Please react to more of their music! I would give you recomendation but is so hard to pick , airplane pt 2 ? maybe just start at the begining with no more dream? Or go with whatever you want. Also please check out some of their solo work! Just came back with new songs!! If you like the feel of this video both lights and heartbeat have a really sweet message of them being a family, along witht the army.
PREACH! People should dig a little deeper for sure. Lazy or not caring and that's fine if they don't hate on them without even knowing anything about them. That outrages me! They're the sweetest, most talented and most hardworking artists i've had the luck to stumble upon. They make my days brighter that's for sure! love them to bits. Borahae!
As a parent I would usually scrutinize any "fads" that my children are into see if they're morally acceptable, wholesome and compatible with the life principles we've instilled in them. So that was how my BTS journey began. Not only that I approve BTS's as a positive influence for my children; I just want to also say that they have made a 43-year old mother of three a fan for life.
I'm so emotional watching this... from humble beginnings until now that they are famous. They remain HUMBLE that's why I LOVE THEM SOOO MUCH.Always praying for your safety guys. ❤️🙏❤️
The message they have always resonated to anyone who would give them the chance has been life changing for so many people. Even though they are now the most successful group in the world, they are humble, gentle talented young men who just want to share their amazing talent with us. I hope you continue your journey to get to know them more. They are not your typical western boy band. So far from that. They changed my life and for that I will be eternally grateful. I honestly don’t think I would be here today if I had not found them when they debuted. I can’t imagine my life without them. And no I am not a teenage girl, I am a mum in my 50’s, but their message is not defined by age or gender. Thankyou for giving them a chance. You won’t regret it.
This video would always bring tears. I am just so proud of our boys for what they have brought to us. All I can say is I will support them til the end. Borahae!
You are fairly new to @bts_twt but you are already past the stage of scratching the surface. Thank you for giving them a chance and for being open minded.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch this! Some people stop at what the media tells them about the boys. And usually those articles, the content that some people make about BTS does not represent them at all. Thank you for being very open and trying to understand why ARMYs defend BTS as much as we do. I loved your reaction. And I agree, lazy journalism sucks.
I just want to say thank you for being open-minded and understanding of who they are and what they stand by. It’s rare that someone (a reactor) genuinely cares and has their own opinions but I can tell you were genuine and that’s all we ask for. I truly appreciate it, you’ve gained a subscriber :)
thank you for the genuine reaction and kind words. it’s really a breath of fresh air to see people respect bts for their well deserved achievements and inspiring messages. looking forward to your videos in the future!
Been stanning bts since 2013 when they first debut, and im always here with them. Yes i used to tell my friends about them but nobody truly cared well look at them now. Im always will be a proud army❤️
Love this!!!! Thank you for giving them a chance, and yes their messages are what's keeping us here and for the rest of time i guess haha. Thank you again and hope you have a great day!!!!
Exactly. It could've been any kpop group that could have made it and reached the success of BTS, but there is something there that attracts fans of various ages and turns these fans into lifelong supporters.
I love your channel so much because you doesn't react to their MVs only but to their hardships and struggles.. Some people just look at their MVs and just talk about their fame and success without knowing their struggles
Hey Army! : ) Sorry about the arabic subtitles. Forgot to turn off the CC. I could still read the words behind them though 🤷♂️. Thanks for all of your comments and subs. I am super excited to discover more about BTS. Love their story and their music so far!!
Plz react to Bts Contribution to Music By Xceleste
Thank you very much for this reaction! It was amazing! I hope you keep on reacting to their music. They are the whole package and a true phenomenon!
Well it's ok because I speak arabic lol
How could you... Forget? It is literally in your face for 10 minutes
No hate but like I really am baffled
Get chills every time I hear a stadium full of people singing that line “I’m the one I should love”
I hope he react to epiphany live its a great song :)
Im so sad i never got to see it live 🥺😭
Kookie Muncher feel u
Totally !!! It always give me chills and I start tearing up !

As you said... lazy journalism. We keep dealing with this even with xenophobic media, blatant prejudice, and condescending tones in articles.

notting hill idk I if it is because they started as idols but yes

Just wanna say that although their message is one of the huge reasons they are so huge, but at the end of the day it's always the music. Please don't underestimate the music. It's a combination of a lot of things, but the songwriting is so top notch. They can do/say all these amazing things, but if their music isn't good then they wouldn't be where they are.

Suga once said that it was like having a music field, each one brought something and the producers gathered or corrected everything. And he said that k pop is an amalgamation of music, lyrics, visuals, video clips, choreography and many other details.
For me they did it all and expanded the frontiers of it in all fields
The West does not know how to process BTS/their achievements, and it shows! It's kind of funny to watch the media try, but also hell of frustrating. There was actually a very well thought out video done by "bby gang" called, "BTS vs. KPOP: a video essay" that covers their success, rise to fame, and how they got there. I would recommend it over most professionally done videos any day. It's honestly pretty brilliant! If you want to know more, you should check it out! I'm super excited to watch you discover more about our boys!
anlic sceadu ikr...it’s the best I’ve seen so far...bad sadly very less views...I hope to share that video to masses
I saw this one and it is brilliant! The way he treats the debate on whether or not BTS is k pop and what k pop is is simple, informative and in the end a very personal view of the group. I really loved that video!
Thank you army for sharing your views and I would definitely watch that right now. Once again thank you army and I purple you 💜💜
Ok I just checked out that video and holy shit it is the best video I have seen till now hands down! It needs more views, I have saved the video and I will link it under genuine YT channels
Same DT. Same. Lazy journalism and just lack of respect for them. If they actually respect them as real artists, they would believe there is more to them and therefore will do real research (the information is out there). It’s easy to just slap a label and stereotype on them and just get clicks for mentioning their name. I’m really glad you watched this and get to understand they are more than what people assume.
Also just respecting them as people and doing the same for ARMYs.
I’m SO glad you reacted to this BTS is so much more than media tries to play them to be
XCeleste has amazing content about BTS. Hardship videos, also BTS contribution to music is a really good one. It would be great for you to start learning more about the members individually because they are all genuine, talented, kind and humble people. The UN speech I also suggest watching too. Thanks for watching and looking forward to this journey with you!! 💜
Yessss. This one please 💥👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💥💜
Agree celeste does really great work highlighting bts's journey through her vids. I also really like the vids where she digs into all the theories, literary and philosophical references in their body of work.
Yes, I recommend this and the UN speech...they have inspired us ARMYs to reach for our dreams and become the best version of ourselves!
Yes! Stan Celeste!
Please react to “who is bts the 7 members” and “bts is not a group bts is a family”
who is bts is full of errors and is extremely lacking for taehyung and hoseok, armys really need to stop suggesting it.
Bulletproof Dreamers I agree with you honestly, there’s a great one called “BTS INTRODUCTION: Who is BTS? A guide” by bangbangtan that is really well done and then the introduction series by gadaursan is amazing and really well done too. Those are the ones I would personally recommend
@@bulletproofdreamers8541 I support you actually but there's no other bts introduction video made by fan to recommend to the newbies about bts members so i guess we just can't be helped but to suggest that video :')
And I agree about the lazy journalism thing.. it is an ongoing thing and theme!
Who is BTS the 7 members
yess, please reaction to that video!!! 💜💜
Yes! "Who is BTS? the Seven Members of Bangtan" by Suga & Spice ruclips.net/video/xu0IfBvZMRs/видео.html
the fact that there's someone who tells people to love themselves and tells them they deserve to be happy, can change someone's whole life
Thankyou for taking the time to watch this Celeste video and for understanding why the boys are where they are today, we as army support our boys not just for their music but for their message and the amazing work they do to make this world a better place 🙏 you just gained a subscriber 💜
They are the reason why I love myself even more and believe in ourselves 💕 I learned to love KPop just last year because of them. The message of their music is very relatable.
These “from nobodies to legends” videos always make me emo TT
I got so frigging happy what you said about “lazy journalism” because that’s something we army’s are very familiar with, unfortunately...
And people who use them for clout etc.. glad to have you on board!
You're right about the lazy journalism part 👍🏼 There's so much more to BTS once you dig deeper
Actually every groups in Kpop works very hard especially before they debut they have to spend many years as trainee,so when the time comes company will debut them so in korea if u r nt frm the big 3 company(SM, JYP, YG) it will be hard from the start to gain fans and popularity. This is why BTS were different from them, they really start from the bottom, works even more hard than others and finally after all those struggles for years they rise and see how far they fly now, we Armys were really proud to see them success and we really love them as human not because they are artist or idol. Hope to see more reaction frm you about BTS then u will more understand why we love them so much^^
As a fan since the beginning I have often been appalled by how often they have been misrepresented by uninformed journalists. Thank you for calling them out. It is appreciated that you got beneath the surface to understand what BTS are really about and have expressed a genuine interest.
I'd love to watch you react to BTS CONTRIBUTION TO MUSIC by the same creator of this one. ☺ Thank you for taking time knowing BTS and their beautiful message. New subscriber here!
Please react to this video
Now u understand why we ARMY love them soooo much. Im in the 27% grup, 40 yo n have 2 daughters who love bts.. We plan to go to their concert together. Thank you for the appreciation n understanding n 1 of the reasons why we r being loud of the western (n sometimes eastern too) media.. Just yesterday bts launched connect bts a project funding by them of arts projects in 5 cities and their main goal is to send positive message to the world thru arts but some of the headlines are misleading n invite trolls to ridicule them. Of course ARMY come but it really frustrating (not again 🙄) to face this, it never ending for us..
I'm 33, my husband is 36, we have 3 kids aged 11, 7 and 4 years old and we are all army! 💜💜💜
I am also part of the 27%. I am 44 and one daughter who I've introduced to BTS. We had the opportunity to attend a concert last yr at the Rose Bowl...it was awesome! We are planning to go this yr. I hope you and your daughters get to go and have a fabulous time.
This made me teary eyed. Seeing you get it gives hope that others will some day. So many people won't give them a chance because of the language, call us hormonal teens (I'll be 40 in a couple months)...but it is so much deeper than that. They're giving us something others don't; hope. Hope for us ourselves, and hope for us as a whole. 💜
The western media likes to paint this superficial image regarding bts, that they’re this popular bc it’s new and different and their success is due to lack of American bands.
That couldn’t be further from the truth. As you’ve seen what makes bts have this major impact is their message.
A lot of groups can have nice songs and cool choreographies but not all have this complex message.
Bts began telling their life story through music, through lyrics and videos.
All their albums exist in a dialogue with each other telling a story, a story of trauma, desperation, dreams, self love and acceptance.
They’re honest and relatable, not in a forced way but a sincere one.
I like how you could see the lack of essence in the last video, western media has some lazy journalism, we had real issues with the white media as they’ve kept discriminating bts and being racist
oh my god thank you so much for your reaction, I really appreciate your comments. it's really a struggle with a lot of western media that just continues to be blind and not understand why they're so popular
I’m so glad you reacted to this, I just finished the one by a big station in the US talking about BTS but really not. Lol thank you and appreciate you calling out Lazy Journalism because that was spot on!
Its the message, the artistry, the connection we feel with them, and of course the music. They are insanely creative and talented they write their own lyrics to portray how the feel and we relate to them. And the music is amazing when i first became an army do you think i looked at the lyrics or meaning? No. Because for music there's no language barrier if it sounds good and feels good then you like it whether its in japanese, gaelic, or afrikaans don't matter. Then when i learned the lyrics i also learned they aren't just trying to make a good catchy song they want it to mean something. The way their mvs are, are like literal movies with storylines and hidden meaning. Other content they give at award show connect with the mvs and we have to try a piece it together ourselves. They always want to think about deeper meanings. And to never take things in life at face value. Which is amazing.
Dude your turning into my favorite reactor with all these kpop reactions
Thank you for the reaction! Thanks for calling out lazy journalism and you hit that nail on the head. Their message, music, performances, chemistry and lyrics all amalgamate into this band millions love.
I’m always proud of my babies 😁 Proud ARMY here ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Every time i watch this i cry
And get emotionel .. my boys deserve all the good things in this world .. they are not just a boy band as peopel said .. they are legends .. that's why army we will stay with them forever .. supporting and loving them forever
i wish we had more people like you in this world, thank you so much for taking time and being open minded. i hope BTS will continue to change this world and help us find the light within us💜
PLEASE REACT TO BTS CRASH COURSE TO A WORLDWIDE SENSATION 2020 BY SUGA & SPICE💜💜
🙏
Yassss 👍🏼💜✨
The more you dive into bts , you see their more then just a kpop group / boyband . Their a MOVEMENT !! While most artists , rappers and singers only talk about partying , sex , drugs , toxic love in their music , BTS does things different. I’m a 23 year old Asian male and is very inspired by them.
They work hard to use their music to inspire change, challenge societal stereotypes & norms , spread positivity. They have tackle social issues : mental health and suicide. Korea is a very strict conservative country and never takes mental health problems serious enough . We’ve already loss 3 kpop idols due to suicide. And always keep praying in hopes we don’t lose anyone else . They also tackle following your dreams , motivation , women empowerment, anxiety, government oppression, corrupt academic system that needs change , never giving up , etc .
For me , I love them because not just their versatile in genre but also they help take ASIAN REPRESENTATION to whole new level . You don’t see many Asians blowing up on a award show level in music these days . Plus in Media people only look at Asians as weak nerds or Asian girls will be sexualized and have a lead role pair off with a non Asian ( usually white men ) and being fetish by whites due to “yellow fever “ . Growing up in CALI , i didn’t know that what Asians are going through . But I guess it’s because of social media you see them differently compared to tv shows/ movies. But BTS became a huge inspiration for me . Learning to love myself , accept and realize everyone has flaws , everyone will never be perfect .

Omgggg!!! Goosebumps everytimr i hear the crowd singing epiphany 😢 the song, bts, love myself, i love these 7boys,.. Like i never loved any other artists before 😢♥ i lobe them soooo much!!! Soo sooo much!!! Sooo proud of what they are right now,...
Who else cried by the end of this video 😭❤️
I'm crying. XCLESTE you outdo yourself every time!
I have watched that video some many times but I watching your reaction made me cry, I feel so proud of BTS, I’ve been a fan of them since 2015 and they have worked so hard, they deserve all the recognition, I’m so happy you discovered them.
I saw a clip of this on twitter! I just want to say thank you for taking the time to check this out and understand BTS’s message.
The world would be a much nicer place if there were more open-minded people like you! Thanks again, and as Jimin from BTS once said, “You nice, keep going”!
highly recommended, xceleste "BTS Contribution to Music" ✔️ you can see how much they love their craft and gave this healing and sense of belonging to everyone😊 Anyway, i subscribed! i love your thoughts❤
I watched your earlier reaction and felt upset as that does not represent BTS correctly at all but very typical of media views regarding BTS and Kpop in general. I am glad you got the chance to watch this video and that is just the tip of the iceberg. They are amazing composers, producers, lyricist, performers, story tellers and humanitarian. Very humble boys with great personalities. They love their fans and that is why the message in their music is meaningful as they feel sense of responsibility toward their fans.
Most importantly, the music is great and lyrics and message even more so. Enjoy the journey to discovering BTS.
They just resonate with you. Their music, their personalities, their values and hard work. When you go deeper into what makes BTS BTS, you can't help but root for them, because they are genuinely good people who worked their ass to make something out of themselves, and in the way didn't became jaded, arrogant. It is such a pure and rare thing that you wanna protect it. And their music is always reflect them, their life, their thoughts so well you drawn to their message and relate to it and take it straight to your heart. My youth is painted with BTS songs and spirit in the background. That is why i always gonna be BTS fan no matter how old i'm gonna get. Now i'm 33. You can bet you see me in a BTS concert in 20, 30 years.
Thanks for reacting to nobodies to legends! Please react to 2019 MMA's AWARDS, it's long but it's so worth it. Also, Mic Drop too.
Ive been a fan of BTS for more or less about a year and this is the first time ive watched from nobodies to legends and i legit cried. I've been a kpop fan for about a decade though. I was hesistant to educate myself about BTS even when they were already gaining popularity bec of bad publicity like "they have toxic fans" "theyre overrated" etc. But boy am I glad for that one day that I finally ignored those negative things and started listening to BTS because stanning them has helped me through the worst days of 2019. And its not just about the entertainment aspect they provide. Its about- yes, the message. To watch and listen to these boys, who keep telling fans to love and improve themselves, didnt just distract me from my problems, but helped me reflect and think positively despite the things happening in my life.
I'm glad you got to know them better through this video and we appreciate you for appreciating the boys . 💜
Hello DT..I am 69 yrs old..Africanamerican Army since 2013..been to a BTS concert..I brought my 20yr old granddaughter into the Army after myself...it was the best day of my life and I attended concerts by the Jackson 5..James Brown..Prince..but it was just good music..BTS doesn’t just make good music..they transforms you..you start looking at yourself and your life and realizing there is only one you and that’s your super power..BTS was sent by the universe to spread love and acceptance..it’s no coincidence that they are this huge..they are what the world needs right now ...I feel so proud and happy to see my little boys grow up to be great men..I actually love each one of them..thank you for understanding that they are more than just a boy band and I am a new subscriber 😊👵🏽💜🤟🏽🇺🇸#BTS Halmoni Army #BTS Granny#7 years of love#BTS are Angels
Just found your channel because of the BTS reaction. They are absolutely amazing, and you’re absolutely right. A lot of western media especially get lazy, and I also feel like they try to protect the western interests by failing to go deeper into the story. I don’t know how much of it is intentional, but sometimes it feels like the financial interests of US companies, the music industry, media in general, and those in power try to portray the group as appealing only to teenagers and being nothing more than a momentary fad in an attempt to dismiss the reality of their appeal.....in hopes they will fade away and not take any more of the market shares...... they are amazing human beings, intelligent, crazy work ethic, talented.... and goofy as heck..... and wonderfully human and humble. Thank you!
Oh, I’m a bts fan and I’m just watching this video first time together with you and the tear is out but I can’t explain why. I just know I love them and thank you myself to know this people.
That was such a great reaction! You got a new subscriber! I hope you'll check out more of their music. I think it will surprise you! I recommend BTS' latest comeback trailer: Shadow. It's a solo by one of the rappers. They also have a single dropping thursday (we don't know the name yet but we know it features a modern dance group and they're always just so artistic!). Please do BTS' contribution to music by the same channel (XCeleste). It talks about their achievements but also what their role in making the music is. They are very DIY. They have a lot of creative control which makes them unique in the industry and is part of the reason for their success. They've said many times that they want to be remembered for their sincerity. You can feel that in their artistry.
They were the only artists at that time in the company. And the company was under bankruptcy and they made it to a successful company. Now they have 2or 3 artists in that company.
This is why we go hard on our own, the mainstream media narrative 'boyband' this is why, but when you realised how diverse the fans are then you know this is not a boyband thing. Even when they performed live in mainstream media they arrange the younger fans to be at the front just to fit their narrative
I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you so very much for giving BTS a chance; they have truly impacted this decade, they will without a doubt have a strong impact on the next ones as well.
Last century it was the Beatles, this century it will be BTS.
And I am so thankful to have been given the opportunity to become an ARMY and be a part of something larger than life.
I have definitely subscribed!
This was such a genuine reaction - I loved it ..
I'm 48 and I'm ARMY since 3ys ago... They message is clear about how we love ourselves....That's captivated me...
I'm 46 and I love BTS. My 15 year old daughter has been a kpop fan for a few years and drug me in almost kicking and screaming but I'm so glad she did. We went to the BTS concert last year at MetLife Stadium. It was one of the beat night of our lives. We sat in the nosebleeds but that couldnt stop our joy. It was absolutely amazing. Thank you for giving our boys a chance. .#BTS4AllAges #BTSARMY
they went trough so much and they were always there for each other, example jin's family is actually very wealthy but he left the wealth and comfort and stayed in a small room with 7 boys, practicing for more than 17 hours a day to reach his dreams. he used his allowances too feed other boys and even stole his mom's kitchen utensils to cook for others, it was just an example they are more than a group they are a family :D
Oh ok I'm so glad you got it!!! It really means the world to me when people give them a chance and truly learn about they story (not the one western media usually tell ofc). Looking forward to more bts reactions 💜
Yes lazy journalism is such a pain especially when it comes to them they have always been subjected to be placed within a mold. BTS Contribution to music is a wonderful video to watch as well. Thank you for dabbling further into them.
I have watched the video like several times but it still make me teary eyed. What's the best of BTS is that they remain humble and would rather spend their time with their fans rather than try to impress the so could elite people in society. That's the reason why they are loved by ARMY cause they strive and continue to work hard for their fans.
Thank you for having an open mind & approaching BTS with fairness. Army come in all shapes, ages across culture, religion, language & skin color. Have a nice day 💜
I always turned teary eyed eveytime I watch that video. So happy that I found and knew them. I am older than them, I'm 50, but I'm so glad that in my lifetime I happen to live with them, in thier era.. PROUD ARMY HERE 💜💜💜
Thank you, for being open minded and giving your honest opinion about them. We appreciate it, really. I hope just not the message which is obv what made bts but their music, the beats, the production they pout their hearts into it. The passion for music is incredible, I think is something we all as humans should relate or at least feel motivated to have, passion for something you love. That's the reason they're still here solid. Thank you, again.
welcome to the rabbit hole we call BTS Universe .... it will be an amazing journey ahead .... the more further you go the more you will be the fan of them
I swear to god I tear up every time I watch this video they’re angels sent to us I love being an army💜💜
I found this reaction because it ended up on twitter, primarily the part about the failures of Journalism. I look forward to seeing some of your other videos.
BTS message is what drew me in. Its what sets them apart for me. From the get-go they've been about making a difference and helping people and have NEVER shied away from it. And now with this current Connect project they have going onto promote art, they are always exposing us to new and amazing things. Even to basing some of their music/albums off of books. Like wings being linked to Demian and the Map of the Soul being linked to Carl Jungs psychology book "The Map of the Soul"
There are so many references and wordplay in their music, the more you dig into it the more you love it.
Tbh I'm so proud that I witnessed everything from the start and what they've been through motivated me to keep supporting them and sharing their message to the world
No matter how many times I have watched BTS journey it always makes me cry😔 they've touched my heart 💜 I am extremely proud of them of what they have achieved
Thank you so much for giving them a chance
I still become emotional every time I watch the video "From Nobodies to Legends". Thank you for doing a reaction video of our boys. I am turning 39 years old this year and I have been a fan, an ARMY, since 2013. I am so proud of them, what they have achieved, and still remain humble, as what I know of them since the beginning. 💜💜💜
Please react to more of their music! I would give you recomendation but is so hard to pick , airplane pt 2 ? maybe just start at the begining with no more dream? Or go with whatever you want. Also please check out some of their solo work!
Just came back with new songs!! If you like the feel of this video both lights and heartbeat have a really sweet message of them being a family, along witht the army.
PREACH! People should dig a little deeper for sure. Lazy or not caring and that's fine if they don't hate on them without even knowing anything about them. That outrages me! They're the sweetest, most talented and most hardworking artists i've had the luck to stumble upon. They make my days brighter that's for sure! love them to bits. Borahae!
As a parent I would usually scrutinize any "fads" that my children are into see if they're morally acceptable, wholesome and compatible with the life principles we've instilled in them. So that was how my BTS journey began. Not only that I approve BTS's as a positive influence for my children; I just want to also say that they have made a 43-year old mother of three a fan for life.
I'm so emotional watching this... from humble beginnings until now that they are famous. They remain HUMBLE that's why I LOVE THEM SOOO MUCH.Always praying for your safety guys. ❤️🙏❤️
The message they have always resonated to anyone who would give them the chance has been life changing for so many people. Even though they are now the most successful group in the world, they are humble, gentle talented young men who just want to share their amazing talent with us. I hope you continue your journey to get to know them more. They are not your typical western boy band. So far from that. They changed my life and for that I will be eternally grateful. I honestly don’t think I would be here today if I had not found them when they debuted. I can’t imagine my life without them. And no I am not a teenage girl, I am a mum in my 50’s, but their message is not defined by age or gender. Thankyou for giving them a chance. You won’t regret it.
This video would always bring tears. I am just so proud of our boys for what they have brought to us. All I can say is I will support them til the end. Borahae!
This video always make me cry..... I love BTS so much
I watched this before i cried..im watching this again and im crying again...sooo proud with my Boys💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I don't know why it gives me chills..and makes me proud 💜
I still cry 😭 when I watch this video .Thank you for reacting on BTS and welcome to our family .
DAMN I WAS ALSO ANNOYED BY THE PREVIOUS VIDEO AHHH you seem so sincere~ thank you so much!!
You are fairly new to @bts_twt but you are already past the stage of scratching the surface.
Thank you for giving them a chance and for being open minded.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch this! Some people stop at what the media tells them about the boys. And usually those articles, the content that some people make about BTS does not represent them at all. Thank you for being very open and trying to understand why ARMYs defend BTS as much as we do. I loved your reaction. And I agree, lazy journalism sucks.
get chills everytime i watched that vid (from nobodies to legend) and still get me crying till end.😭🥰 i love that 7 baby boys 🥰🥰
They now launched connect bts, where connects 5 cities and 22 artist to show the philosophy of art ...
I just want to say thank you for being open-minded and understanding of who they are and what they stand by. It’s rare that someone (a reactor) genuinely cares and has their own opinions but I can tell you were genuine and that’s all we ask for. I truly appreciate it, you’ve gained a subscriber :)
You will find they feelling in every song of them .The relationship of them is so deep that why i love this boy group 😊
Everytime I watch this video I feel so proud to see how much bts touch people heart with their message👏👏💜💜💜
thank you for the genuine reaction and kind words. it’s really a breath of fresh air to see people respect bts for their well deserved achievements and inspiring messages. looking forward to your videos in the future!
Been stanning bts since 2013 when they first debut, and im always here with them. Yes i used to tell my friends about them but nobody truly cared well look at them now. Im always will be a proud army❤️
Wow, this was really sweet and incisive; such a rare occurance in ARMYs world. Definately worth a view.
Love this!!!! Thank you for giving them a chance, and yes their messages are what's keeping us here and for the rest of time i guess haha. Thank you again and hope you have a great day!!!!
Exactly. It could've been any kpop group that could have made it and reached the success of BTS, but there is something there that attracts fans of various ages and turns these fans into lifelong supporters.
When DT try to stop from shedding tears. I feel you bro💜
Thank you so much for making this vid! 💜
Since you've moved onto BTS - Subscribed :)
Yeah....you did it guys..YOU ARE BULLETPROOF ‼️
Army gonna be your WINGS to fly with you wherever you want...
army TOGATHER bts FOREVER💜
I love your channel so much because you doesn't react to their MVs only but to their hardships and struggles..
Some people just look at their MVs and just talk about their fame and success without knowing their struggles
i cried. seeing how they strive before and look where the are now 😭❤️
I can’t wait for you to experience their concert!! So excited for you!!!!
