Exactly and that's why he's are fast becoming my fav reactor. 💜 BTS has genius lyrics, they are super intelligent and that's why there are so many explained videos to get context because their lyrics are layered like s*** also that's why they have such a diverse fanbase in age. And passionate ARMY. Western culture has to get over their looks, the racism and Kpop stereotypes too truly understand how next level they are to many current famous musicians. It's like trying to convince the world how Stevie Wonder is a musical genius but folks can't get over that he's blind and dimiss him. They are artists in every sense of the word and create genius musicial art. Ddaeng is another rapline song that has layers and yes, it will need dkdktv explained again on that one too.
@@ToneyReactions can you do an introduction to bats??? It can be long but it will help you and the army will love it 🙏👼 I will recommend "Ida S: Introduction to the 7 members of BTS" cuz it is 97% accurate and just focuses on how they came to be and what each member bring to the table and a few of their accomplishments💜
You hit the nail on the head. David was talking about several suicides of K pop stars that were severely bullied. Sadly, suicide is not uncommon in SK at all among celebrities and everyday people.
Ddaeng is another seemingly simple song/rap, but as you have just learned, nothing is ever straight-forward with the Rap Line. Check it out and the explanation by DKTV and prepare to have 🤯 time 😱
You: That's SUGA Me (smiling): That's Jhope Please I'm just laughing with you whenever you try to guess the members. Don't worry you'll get there soon. You can check out individual introduction videos of the members to learn their names faster. Btw at the part "take another's life" david was talking about some kpop idols who made the harsh decision of taking their own lives in 2019 because of the online hate they received for years. I'm not saying cyber bullying was the only reason they did that but it surely was 1 of the major reasons. You might think netizens and kpop fans learnt from those incidents but they didn't. Still a lot of idols get flooded with hate comments for barely breathing.
Just a sombre note on what is referred to at 17:17: South Korea has the 10th highest suicide rate in the world and clearly KPOP stars are not exempt from that. To name a couple, Sulli (fx) and Goo Hara (Kara). BTS no doubt knew some of those victims directly, including Kim Jonghyun ❤️ from SHINee - there are videos of them goofing about in the dressing room backstage, and then later attending his funeral in 2017 ... A sad note but it goes to show that BTS are not making vague references here, they will have been hit hard emotionally and intimately.
You have the rare quality of being able to set your ego aside to really learn! I have a new place to look for explanations of Korean culture when I know I’m lost culturally, linguistically. Thanks for doing this. I hear various comments from some reactors (that I’ve given up on) because they can only relate to American cultural references; anything else is flotsam. Really enjoyed this. Thank you!
I have tried a few of the American reactors as well but well... they sort of hypersexualize the members with a lot of pausing and heavy breathing. One American was told by his viewers that JK was Underage in the video he was watching and being explicit about and he said "sorry not sorry." It was rather disturbing. JK was International Age was 15 in No More Dream video.
@@Mimikoo I have looked up the American reactors I like best. I hope you can enjoy them also. I will give a small explanation of each channel. I hope this helps. JORDAN ORME. This guy is a video editor who breaks down the camera shots and the internal editing needed for the video. He also explains the BTS universe connections. WHATCHAGOT2SAY. This is a guy, his brother, his best friend. They are very knowledgeable about dance. They frequently do a video and the dance practice together. JUSTIN BURKE. This is a singer and teacher. He discusses the vocals. IDENTICAL REACTIONS. These are identical twins that speak Japanese, some Korean. They are in Austin, Texas after living separately for awhile. They are culturally knowledgeable and just enjoy BTS. DT PARKER. New to BTS. Working hard to catch up. I hope this helps. I discovered BTS 3 weeks ago. Until then, I had stumbled across a few QUEEN reactors, but that was it. I had no idea this was a THING. These sites take real joy in BTS, are positive in their own messages, and I really enjoy them. If you have some good sites, let me know.
@@helenscott8202 Hi! Welcome to Army...3 weeks! Awww.... those first months are so special. You get to discover so much content! YAY! So... my only suggestions are to subscribe to Korea Now. You can keep up to date on what is happening in Korea and they often post news about BTS. And if you are not already... please watch Run BTS. It is the best way to get to know the members and see their personalities shine.
I am not sure if you are aware of this, but BTS donated 1 million dollars to BLM last year, then Army matched that within 24 hrs. As the mother of two Black men about your age and a life long hip-hop fan that meant a lot to me. If you should react to Ddaeng by the rapline I would suggest just reacting to the DKDKTV explained with it. That track is straight genius. Outro Tear as well.
Man this is refreshing someone sharing the fact they are looking into the deeper meaning. I’m seeing a lot of reaction videos out there of people just putting on a show reacting at surface level for the views that BTS brings. I like that you’re actually interested and show us you’re learning more. I’m here for it!!
So glad you did DKDKTV! His explained for the rap line songs are priceless! Especially for DDAENG. I can't wait until you do that song because you will love it, plus it was a gift to ARMY that was never released any other way than SoundCloud. For this song, you really tried and we saw you struggling with that awful color coded video. Your journey should not be that rough and we won't let it be that, if we can help it. Also, I love your analogy of what happened last summer, said the same thing after a while. BTW... Your favorite part "Can't I Ugh, ugh, ugh? Can't I ugh!?!" That was SUGA. 💜
@@reneezemlock7880 Yes, it is. DKDKTV is actually where I recommend going for a lot of the explainer videos first to see if he's done them. I didn't want to confuse Toney with Baepsae as that's a whole group song but thanks for the point out because it is a great video and one of my favorite songs. 💜
@@tajbabydoll Mine, too! And one of, if not the, most political song they did. The music and choreo are great on their own, but it takes on a WHOLE new meaning when explained. :)
I am so happy to learn you took our advice and checked these explanation videos about BTS songs. And I love these "conversations" we are having with you. You are a very thoughtful person and that shows in your reactions. You are bringing the conversation about BTS lyrics to a higher level - and I personally think this is what BTS love see the fanbase doing. :) Deeper conversations are always the first step to real/positive changes to ourselves and the world.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about BTS and their lyrics. This is why we support the boys because they talk about these things and make them bops. They are real artists.
I am so glad and appreciate how you heard the ARMY'S and reacted to this explanation. I hope you continue to do so whenever we guide you to watch an explanation. We only hope that people listening to them understand the depth of their concepts and lyrics to understand why they are so loved as artists. 💜💜💜🇮🇳
I love how you want to know more and appreciate getting advice and direction from the Army. You are usually on point with your analysis but the fact that you wanted to learn more is great. You have come to realize that BTS isn’t a Boyband but a lifestyle and an experience. Not only is the music great it’s educational and broadens ones outlook on things. Continue to explore and we will continue to support you in your endeavors.
Kudo and Thanks for checking this "Explained" Toney. Fact: Several Korean Celebrities/Actor/Actress has committed Suicide by Haters via Social Media and BTS wanted to Address the Problem.
I'm so happy that you watched this! Anger has played a bigger part in their careers then people know. Bang PDnim founded Big Hit Music because he didn't like the way the Kpop idols were being treated. Big Hit Entertainment's motto, before it turned into HYBE, was "Music and Artist for Healing." He has talked about how the anger he felt over how the industry did things is what motivated him to try and change things and create in his own company. I like that BTS acknowledges that there are some things that we should get angry at, and that anger should drive us to make changes for the better. So Toney, little brother, how about you watch an intro vid on BTS. I promise you once you watch one, there are a few really good ones I know have been mentioned in the comments. I promise you once you watch one of those, you will never have to guess at who is who again. LOL Wolfpac out!
Ah man it's so cool to finally have a decent reactor who truly appreciates BTS' artistry. Thank you!! Looking forward to more videos. 💜 Recommendations: - Fire - Blood Sweat and Tears - Dope - Spring Day (watch the explanation video as well) - Idol
i always enjoy you popping up in my subscription feed lol , it's refreshing to see a reactor actually seem to care about the boys as musicians and artists rather than something they can react to for clout buT ANYWAYS i wanted to reccomend the "Rise of Bangtan" series on RUclips that gives you a great rundown of how BTS were formed and their journey from 2013 to now. There's a lot of a parts but the begining episodes really make people respect them more than before so I feel like you'd enjoy watching them, but regardless it's your choice. always enjoy your reactions 👍
He mentioned the president getting impeached - BTS took a huge risc by making the mv to Spring Day about the disaster that eventually lead to that impeachment. (Spring Day + "What you still don't know about BTS Spring Day Mv") The song has remained on the korean charts for 4 years so far!
Thank you! Along with all the comments im also thankful that you’re genuinely interested in learning about bts, their culture, their language and so on, keep up the quality videos that armys love to see 💜
oh trust us we DO appreciate that you take your time to pay attention to the meaning! that smells like respect for me and there's only a welcome for people who respect bts
I want to thank you so much for genuinely caring to take time and find out more about BTS that the media mostly doesn't show. Many reactors come here and fake reactions to gain the following from Army, but we can tell how genuinely curious you are. Thankyou for looking at this video that we asked to to look at. Thankyou again soooooooo much. Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Hope you have a wonderful week 😁😁😁
Once again, love that sexy brain of yours. "I just know they aren't saying poop"😂😂😂 I really enjoyed that you took the time and also just how personable you are.😘 As for the haters, it just kills me that they think they would be happy if they were idols, most of them couldn't handle the 14-16 hours a day dancing, the grinding tour schedule, the training leading up to debut. 7 guys living in one tiny room and basically having everything planned for you and not getting to see your family. They have no idea of the sacrifices these guys go through. Most people couldn't handle the paparazzi. They forget the amount of work and rejection and only see the final product. And BTS seems so incredibly well adjusted and wants to help people, just amazing. Drives me crazy. Anyway, sorry for the rant. Being creative is just so darn difficult sometimes. As I am sure you know. Have a wonderful rest of your day.😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for all the time you have put in to get into intricate details of BTS's art. I love them for a million reasons, but I'm not very tuned in to deciphering rap lyrics. I'm blown away with how philosophical these guys are!! I appreciate you x infinity!!
I love all your reactions!! I have a suggestion to make because this is how I personally listen to the songs. I like to listen to the song and watch the music video without subtitles and just appreciate the art. Then I like to watch an analysis. You don’t have to do this too, whatever you choose to do is going to be great. I’m just so stoked that you’re getting so into BTS!
Great. It’s cool the way you initially grasped the essence and wanted to explore the lyrical cleverness. You might enjoy Ddaeng too, but do your initial take first. DKDKtv has an analysis of that as well
@@ToneyReactions OOH yeah that song is THE BTS worldplay king, i can't wait to see the video about it. Used one word in like 10 different ways in just one verse, insane.
Personally I like you try to guest their name and the meaning of the song while reacting. For the name you'll get it with time don't worry hehe 🙂 and for the meaning it's refreshing getting new ideas. 😉 it's fun watching your reaction.
BTS don't waste time rapping about boobs, ass, pills, pot. They spit the truth, make a person think without crying in their beer. You are doing great. If you haven't reviewed Bapsae you should. 1 a great dance practice 2 a great explaination by DKDKTV. The song was almost banned in South Korea. When you first hear it you will ask "Why?" DKDKTV will tell you why. Stay well.
Suga does rap about pills, in his solo work. But I think he has the right to address it considering the people who've criticized them in the past, and also drifting from a close friend of his in the past who got caught up in drugs.
Wow, you’re really out here doin’ the work. Killin’ it. We really appreciate the time and effort, especially since many people, especially the western industry, think they are just a boy-band with crazed teenage fangirls🙄. I remember being a baby army, when I finally figured out who was who they would change their hair or their concept, and it was a bit back to the basics. Soon you’ll see a shadow and know “oh that’s Suga” 🤣💜.
Sorry, this is longer than expected. Just wanna say love your reactions and also your insights. I think the most important thing is to stay honest. I know people say a lot of other reactions are fake but I think some start out genuine and turn fake later on. If you ever need a break from BTS in future or just want to focus on something else for awhile then please be honest. Leave for a bit and come back. We'll be here when you return and your new reactions will be more honest. Army will respect you for that. I know it seems highly unlikely right now. But if it ever happens, then just want you to know so you don't get stuck thinking you have to do BTS videos like other RUclipsrs might think. For now, hope you enjoy the ride. I've been keeping an eye on BTS since 2014. Love your jokes, and how self-aware they can be sometimes, things about the boys, about Army, about comments. Keep it up.
Loved this reaction!! Glad you got to see the deeper meaning of Ugh! ... If you enjoyed that you would probably really like Ddaeng and then the DKDKTV explained version too - there is A LOT of cool word play in there that you defo wouldn’t get by just listening to the song (which is so so so good btw)
Yay! I'm so glad you reacted to this! DKDKTV has one for "Ddaeng," too, which I also recommend. :D And I hope you don't take these suggested videos as a criticism on your original take on the songs. You're exactly the kind of reactor that ARMYs get so excited about, 'cause you actually are looking at the purpose behind the music, which is a big part of why ARMY is so dedicated to BTS, and why we consider ourselves to be part of the team. Our suggestions are just our enthusiasm and joy at finding a fellow traveler and wanting to share the journey with you.
I watch a lot of reaction videos and i can feel it if someone is just being superficial. I can see that youre geniune in liking BTS. I admire you because of it. Keep digging into the rabbit hole. It is very warm and fun in there
I suggest "An introduction to the 7 members of BTS" by Ida S instead. It contains pretty much the same essential information but is new and has more "professional" facts rather than some trivia facts that are not even relevant today :)
And also I recommend "a Helpful and Fun Guide to BTS (2020)" by ohjonny: it has less biographical information but focuses more on fun moments. And it is brilliantly edited 😉
I'm glad you decided to watch the explanation video. It really explains how BTS rappers master their wordplays. I don't know about you but I certainly admire and respect them even more the deeper I'm the rabbit hole.
Thank you. I needed this explained too. I'm new ARMY so on the BTS journey of learning how BTS expresses. Seems like a great deal of their music has many layers...probably why I love it.
Just want to mirror what all the other comments are saying that it’s so nice to have a reactor who wants to learn more about BTS’s artistry and all the things, including culture, that make their songs that more special. And I can already tell that you truly respect them as artists and people. So for that, THANK YOU 🙏 Rest assured... You’re doing great! Don’t be afraid to mess up every now and again, it happens when you’re learning! I recommend checking out: 1. Ddaeng, listen to the song through and through, and then check out the “Explained” video. 2. IDOL 3. Outro Tear (rapline song - the live performance is 🔥) 4. Daechwita by Agust D - Suga’s solo work
I love that you're getting into explanation videos! While there are a number of people who create them, there are only a few I feel are helpful. David/DKDK is great.
The way you say some things remind me of Chapelle. I bet you could do a spot on impression! Much love. Truly enjoying your breakdowns and interaction with your viewers.
11:21 when i just got into bts the way i finally remebered their names was by reminding myself that with the rap line, suga has more of a round face with smaller eyes, RM has quite a v shaped jawline with an up pointing nose, and J-Hope has a sharp nose and big eyes
I really appreciate you taking time and watching the explanations. It just means that you listen to people that watch your content. I'll definitely check out other things that you post! Good luck in the future! :))
you keep bringing smile on my face thru your reactions Toney lmao specially when you try to guess the members on the screen! it makes me feel like knowing them again for the first time even though I've been listening to their music since 2014! Also, if you're into word plays and such you can always count on Namjoon A.K.A RM!! Joke and Do you is just two of my favorites!
Thank you for reacting to this, I really means a lot. Hope you get to see a little bit more why Bts is so big. There lyrics and massage in every song is amazing.
You're doing great, Sweetie 💜 The more explanation videos you watch and the more you search for BTS's hidden meanings within each video (plus learning more about the song lyrics, the members, the band, the agency, the fandom, the K-Pop industry, Korean culture and history), the more you will enrich your experience and journey within this amazing group of humble young men. Thank you for taking the time to savor each moment and for your willingness to learn about things that are outside of our typical American mindset. And thank you for creating your BTS playlist. Make sure all of your BTS related videos are listed (I think you're missing a few). And make sure they are in chronological order. New Armys to your channel like to go through the BTS playlist and see your natural progression as you watch more videos (instead of scrolling through all of your videos to find and watch them). Also, on your future videos, let the new Armys to your channel know that you have a BTS playlist where they can go and watch all of your BTS related videos. Thanks again!! Have a great holiday weekend!
@@ToneyReactions Yep, yep yep! I was getting frustrated with YT's search and sorting algorithms because I couldn't get them all, and all in order. Not that I won't watch your other reaction vids, Toney, but I like to do one rabbit hole at a time and "follow the progression" -- apparently I'm neurodiverse or whatever, but that's what works for me. So, thanks @Jill Hollon, for the "natural progression" comment (consider it stolen), and thanks, Toney, for the playlist!
Thank you for this! DKDK are amazing with these. So many songs get "lost in translation" it can't be easy with BTS deep complex meanings. But if they go thru so much to give us these great songs we can dig a little deeper to figure them out. 💜
I really like and appreciate your reviews. watching your reviews and reactions help me understand what messages are being conveyed. I love how you don't hold back your emotions or get excited on those explosive parts.
It's really cool taht you listen to your subscribers and actually did a rwction to this! When you watch Ddaeng (you definitely should!) you should also check their explanation video, it's very good. Maybe you can do it in one video. Also the live version ([BANGTAN BOMB] BTS PROM PARTY : UNIT STAGE) is soo nice!! They are really feeling it. Also you were absolutely right, when you were talking about celebrities being depressed/suicidal. That was what he was talking about when he mentioned that some K-Pop idols were "forced to make unfortunate desicions" :((
So great you took the time to show us and BTS respect, by listening. Once again, good job! Recognizing names to faces, will come, don’t force it. Each member is very distinct, you have an ear for it, focus on listening to the differences, then grab the name.
Things like the Black Lives Matter movement are exactly what are on my mind when I listen to this song. There are so many agents of regressive behavior in media and culture at large (kardashians, ideals of toxic masculinity. internalized and external misogyny, etc) and certain self-serving political parties using hate and fear to rev up the common populace and pit them against each other. When Obama was elected the first time, I had about 5 min of hopefulness because he spoke about activism as an everyday behavior - but the average person is so apathetic and nothing changed. Jeezus that just depressed the hell out of me! RM and Wale's Change is a great track for bringing a little hope. They are both poets. Wale - "I see hope via my daughter's eye" RM - "I see some grass growing in Winter's eye."
Wow. That was so helpful. Everytime I learn more of their lyrics the more I love them! Thank you for this reaction. I was excited for you when you recognized RM. You figured it out pretty well even with the bad translation.
No wonder you looked familiar to me.. I was just looking up Eminem reactions and came across your other video. It's nice to see you reacting to BTS too and because I know you appreciate lyricism (from seeing you break down the Eminem song).. I know you'd appreciate the layers in BTS music too. The rappers in BTS are really influenced by Eminem. They have mentioned Em in their interviews from time to time and also he was the first non-Korean artist that they went to see in concert when they were teenagers. If you want to listen to their story of how they got into hip-hop through a song, you should check out "Hip Hop Lover" (or Hip Hop Phile) by BTS. There is a lyric video for it.
I'm glad you watched this to better understand their lyrics. I would say most of BTS songs have a deep meaning which is why I love their music even more.
I really enjoy your reactions! You always try to delve deeper and look beyond the surface, which is how BTS songs should be viewed. They are never straightforward. And don't worry we like your efforts, even if not always 100%, learning names takes time.
My mother tongue is Spanish, I really like the music from BTS, but then I got into this rabbit hole and I'm trying to understand the meaning behind the songs. I'm not into hip hop but I found these lyrics really interesting when the real translation came into my mind, even though I have a double translation. I really understand what you mean when you say, it would be easier to hear what they meant in my own language but I have lived all my life trying to understand other languages, not only English. I can even say that is really nice that Americans can have that struggle too. And btw I think you are very clever in your comments, it took me many attempts to get what you have in just one shoot.
Love watching reactors like you who are genuinely interested in learning about this lyrics and what the boys are trying to share with the world.... looking forward for more videos... 💜
The last couple of years there have been a surge of suicides in the k-pop industry. At least more than usual, it is a very pressure filled environment and they are expected to be perfect. The articles I read mentioned online bullying and hate. BTS is the most sweet and socially conscience group out there. They are always ready to speak out against injustice and do their part. That is one of the biggest reasons that I love them so much. I think it is really great that you are doing so much to understand their music.
Suga tends to lean the most into Korean culture references, as seen is this song or with "dogs and pigs" in the track 'Am I Wrong', finding explanations on his songs and verses is really fun and informative. RM does a lot of word play that we still get the base meaning of through the translations but loose all of the many many layers. His familiarity with English might be what makes his lyrics translate a bit better, probably why he is the biggest lyrical contributor across all BTS tracks and albums. J Hope is the phonetic genius, yes there is important meaning and layers but just the auditory experience he provides, on it's own, is fantastic to listen to regardless of meaning. His contributions to tracks like "Awake" ("runaway runaway don't cry") or 'Dionysus" showcase the range of this talent. Smart move heading over to DKDKTV; David Kim gives the best language and cultural breakdowns for BTS songs. His seemingly equal understanding of both Korean and American/Western culture make him an invaluable asset to International ARMYs. Side note: if you make it to 'Spring Day', you'll need an explanation video to that as well. Partially for the song, though that can be interpreted to have a broad meaning, but mainly for all the visual references in the MV. There are many invisible members of BTS and one of them is LUMPENS, the artist and studio that does most of their MVs.
I really appreciate you taking the time to look into BTS and also looking into the meaning of their songs because they are truly incredible and it's been awesome watching you get sucked into the rabbit hole just like we all were XD You're awesome
I love that this song needs to be said into today society, and why some people need to understand there is so much hate in this world. And that BTS is only a small part that is opening up about what they can show the positive outlook on what we need. Look at ARMYs from all over the world are working to help that along. Yes their are going to be over zealous ones, but true ARMYs show positive impacts.
I knew you’d appreciate it! You’d definitely like Daechwita if you liked this. Also Suga’s song Strange (off his latest mix tape featuring RM) has to do with their thoughts on Capitalism which I think you’d appreciate as well!
I can’t wait to watch your reactions to their live performances. Lyrics with the MVs are great but when they perform they really bring the passion and emotions to wrap it all up
this is what i want locals to know about BTS. that they are not your typical boy band. most of their songs have deep meaning.
I love that you actually read the comments and take suggestions ☺️
Everyday! 🐺🐺💪🏽💯
Yap. Great guy
Exactly and that's why he's are fast becoming my fav reactor. 💜 BTS has genius lyrics, they are super intelligent and that's why there are so many explained videos to get context because their lyrics are layered like s*** also that's why they have such a diverse fanbase in age. And passionate ARMY. Western culture has to get over their looks, the racism and Kpop stereotypes too truly understand how next level they are to many current famous musicians. It's like trying to convince the world how Stevie Wonder is a musical genius but folks can't get over that he's blind and dimiss him. They are artists in every sense of the word and create genius musicial art. Ddaeng is another rapline song that has layers and yes, it will need dkdktv explained again on that one too.
@@melgaye0 Also Baepsae which is one of my favorite songs now that I understand it thanks to DKDKTV. It’s probably high time I try to learn Korean 😆

Some of whom were personal friends of the members of BTS
@@AnnieDHarpie exactly
South Korea has the highest suicide rate in the world. The pressure on especially young people is insane!
It’s really sad. Rest In Peace to these kpop angels. ❤️
Ddaeng is another seemingly simple song/rap, but as you have just learned, nothing is ever straight-forward with the Rap Line. Check it out and the explanation by DKTV and prepare to have 🤯 time 😱
I agree. React to Ddaeng and then check out dkdktv’s ddaeng explained video. It is amazing and really brings a fuller picture of the song.
Ddaeng is so good, you will love it! Thanks to DKDKTV for explaining because I really needed the help! It's so clever!
Yass this please, Ddaeng is masterpiece and banger from the rapline!!!
Yes!! They're explanation of Daeng is awesome!
this !!!
You: That's SUGA
Me (smiling): That's Jhope
Please I'm just laughing with you whenever you try to guess the members. Don't worry you'll get there soon. You can check out individual introduction videos of the members to learn their names faster.
Btw at the part "take another's life" david was talking about some kpop idols who made the harsh decision of taking their own lives in 2019 because of the online hate they received for years. I'm not saying cyber bullying was the only reason they did that but it surely was 1 of the major reasons. You might think netizens and kpop fans learnt from those incidents but they didn't. Still a lot of idols get flooded with hate comments for barely breathing.
What's funny is that it was J-Hope on the screen but the part was actually RM's 😄
Lmao in due time!
Just a sombre note on what is referred to at 17:17: South Korea has the 10th highest suicide rate in the world and clearly KPOP stars are not exempt from that. To name a couple, Sulli (fx) and Goo Hara (Kara). BTS no doubt knew some of those victims directly, including Kim Jonghyun ❤️ from SHINee - there are videos of them goofing about in the dressing room backstage, and then later attending his funeral in 2017 ...
A sad note but it goes to show that BTS are not making vague references here, they will have been hit hard emotionally and intimately.
You have the rare quality of being able to set your ego aside to really learn! I have a new place to look for explanations of Korean culture when I know I’m lost culturally, linguistically. Thanks for doing this. I hear various comments from some reactors (that I’ve given up on) because they can only relate to American cultural references; anything else is flotsam. Really enjoyed this. Thank you!
I have tried a few of the American reactors as well but well... they sort of hypersexualize the members with a lot of pausing and heavy breathing. One American was told by his viewers that JK was Underage in the video he was watching and being explicit about and he said "sorry not sorry." It was rather disturbing. JK was International Age was 15 in No More Dream video.
@@Mimikoo I have looked up the American reactors I like best. I hope you can enjoy them also. I will give a small explanation of each channel. I hope this helps.
JORDAN ORME. This guy is a video editor who breaks down the camera shots and the internal editing needed for the video. He also explains the BTS universe connections.
WHATCHAGOT2SAY. This is a guy, his brother, his best friend. They are very knowledgeable about dance. They frequently do a video and the dance practice together.
JUSTIN BURKE. This is a singer and teacher. He discusses the vocals.
IDENTICAL REACTIONS. These are identical twins that speak Japanese, some Korean. They are in Austin, Texas after living separately for awhile. They are culturally knowledgeable and just enjoy BTS.
DT PARKER. New to BTS. Working hard to catch up.
I hope this helps. I discovered BTS 3 weeks ago. Until then, I had stumbled across a few QUEEN reactors, but that was it. I had no idea this was a THING. These sites take real joy in BTS, are positive in their own messages, and I really enjoy them. If you have some good sites, let me know.
@@helenscott8202 Hi! Welcome to Army...3 weeks! Awww.... those first months are so special. You get to discover so much content! YAY!
So... my only suggestions are to subscribe to Korea Now. You can keep up to date on what is happening in Korea and they often post news about BTS.
And if you are not already... please watch Run BTS. It is the best way to get to know the members and see their personalities shine.
@@helenscott8202 oh! You might not know about BTS world. A lot of new Army have never seen this mv.
ruclips.net/video/aKSxbt-O6TA/видео.html
@@Mimikoo Jesus. I haven't come across a single reactor doing what you've said. How'd you manage to find such trash? 😨
I am sooooo stoked you want to learn about BTS. That means A LOT! Borahae
Okay you're my fav reaction channel now thank you for being genuine to us to bts ✨ he's the real one guys we need to protect this man✋
I am not sure if you are aware of this, but BTS donated 1 million dollars to BLM last year, then Army matched that within 24 hrs. As the mother of two Black men about your age and a life long hip-hop fan that meant a lot to me. If you should react to Ddaeng by the rapline I would suggest just reacting to the DKDKTV explained with it. That track is straight genius. Outro Tear as well.
I love that you did this! You’re gonna love Ddaeng (with the explanation too as it’s full of wordplay). Thank you for taking onboard all the comments🙏
I 100% agree. The word play is awesome! and DKDKTV really breaks it down so well.
I second this
i third this
I fourth this 😆
I fifth this 😉
Man this is refreshing someone sharing the fact they are looking into the deeper meaning. I’m seeing a lot of reaction videos out there of people just putting on a show reacting at surface level for the views that BTS brings. I like that you’re actually interested and show us you’re learning more. I’m here for it!!
Appreciate that! Yeah they genuinely interest me it's new to me cz it's so different than what I normally react to
So glad you did DKDKTV! His explained for the rap line songs are priceless! Especially for DDAENG. I can't wait until you do that song because you will love it, plus it was a gift to ARMY that was never released any other way than SoundCloud. For this song, you really tried and we saw you struggling with that awful color coded video. Your journey should not be that rough and we won't let it be that, if we can help it. Also, I love your analogy of what happened last summer, said the same thing after a while.
BTW... Your favorite part "Can't I Ugh, ugh, ugh? Can't I ugh!?!" That was SUGA. 💜
Their explanation of Baepsae is great and necessary as well :)
@@reneezemlock7880 Yes, it is. DKDKTV is actually where I recommend going for a lot of the explainer videos first to see if he's done them. I didn't want to confuse Toney with Baepsae as that's a whole group song but thanks for the point out because it is a great video and one of my favorite songs. 💜
@@tajbabydoll Mine, too! And one of, if not the, most political song they did. The music and choreo are great on their own, but it takes on a WHOLE new meaning when explained. :)
"That's Suga..."
"Then JHope goes on"
"... DDAENG."
Army: 😏
Lol I see what you did there
@@ToneyReactions ❤
I am so happy to learn you took our advice and checked these explanation videos about BTS songs. And I love these "conversations" we are having with you. You are a very thoughtful person and that shows in your reactions. You are bringing the conversation about BTS lyrics to a higher level - and I personally think this is what BTS love see the fanbase doing. :) Deeper conversations are always the first step to real/positive changes to ourselves and the world.
I love your reactions. You're one of the genuine reactors. Thank you for being open-minded.
I second, third and fourth that!
LOL I think your next homework project should be to see/listen to their solo songs - I think that'll help clinch who is who :)
Lol I'm learning
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about BTS and their lyrics. This is why we support the boys because they talk about these things and make them bops. They are real artists.
I am so glad and appreciate how you heard the ARMY'S and reacted to this explanation. I hope you continue to do so whenever we guide you to watch an explanation. We only hope that people listening to them understand the depth of their concepts and lyrics to understand why they are so loved as artists. 💜💜💜🇮🇳
I love how you want to know more and appreciate getting advice and direction from the Army. You are usually on point with your analysis but the fact that you wanted to learn more is great. You have come to realize that BTS isn’t a Boyband but a lifestyle and an experience. Not only is the music great it’s educational and broadens ones outlook on things. Continue to explore and we will continue to support you in your endeavors.
Let's gooooooo
Kudo and Thanks for checking this "Explained" Toney. Fact: Several Korean Celebrities/Actor/Actress has committed Suicide by Haters via Social Media and BTS wanted to Address the Problem.
As a new Army, I appreciate your in-depth review and reaction to the real meaning of the song. Thank You Toney 👌.
It’s ok man, it took me awhile to get their names right too.
I'm so happy that you watched this! Anger has played a bigger part in their careers then people know. Bang PDnim founded Big Hit Music because he didn't like the way the Kpop idols were being treated. Big Hit Entertainment's motto, before it turned into HYBE, was "Music and Artist for Healing." He has talked about how the anger he felt over how the industry did things is what motivated him to try and change things and create in his own company. I like that BTS acknowledges that there are some things that we should get angry at, and that anger should drive us to make changes for the better. So Toney, little brother, how about you watch an intro vid on BTS. I promise you once you watch one, there are a few really good ones I know have been mentioned in the comments. I promise you once you watch one of those, you will never have to guess at who is who again. LOL Wolfpac out!
Lmao I'm having fun guessing and learning organically too
Ah man it's so cool to finally have a decent reactor who truly appreciates BTS' artistry. Thank you!! Looking forward to more videos. 💜
Recommendations:
- Fire
- Blood Sweat and Tears
- Dope
- Spring Day (watch the explanation video as well)
- Idol
🐺💪🏽💯
i always enjoy you popping up in my subscription feed lol , it's refreshing to see a reactor actually seem to care about the boys as musicians and artists rather than something they can react to for clout buT ANYWAYS
i wanted to reccomend the "Rise of Bangtan" series on RUclips that gives you a great rundown of how BTS were formed and their journey from 2013 to now. There's a lot of a parts but the begining episodes really make people respect them more than before so I feel like you'd enjoy watching them, but regardless it's your choice. always enjoy your reactions 👍
He mentioned the president getting impeached - BTS took a huge risc by making the mv to Spring Day about the disaster that eventually lead to that impeachment. (Spring Day + "What you still don't know about BTS Spring Day Mv") The song has remained on the korean charts for 4 years so far!
Thank you! Along with all the comments im also thankful that you’re genuinely interested in learning about bts, their culture, their language and so on, keep up the quality videos that armys love to see 💜
oh trust us we DO appreciate that you take your time to pay attention to the meaning! that smells like respect for me and there's only a welcome for people who respect bts
Thank you for taking time to watch the explanation video, glad you liked it, keep that happy face happy, 😁😁💜💜
👏👏👏
next it would be awesome to see you react to "ddaeng", "dope" and "fire" 😁😁😁✌🏻
You are such a joy to watch! Thank you!😎
I want to thank you so much for genuinely caring to take time and find out more about BTS that the media mostly doesn't show. Many reactors come here and fake reactions to gain the following from Army, but we can tell how genuinely curious you are. Thankyou for looking at this video that we asked to to look at. Thankyou again soooooooo much.
Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Hope you have a wonderful week 😁😁😁
Appreciate you! And yeah I have no problem learning more!
Once again, love that sexy brain of yours. "I just know they aren't saying poop"😂😂😂
I really enjoyed that you took the time and also just how personable you are.😘
As for the haters, it just kills me that they think they would be happy if they were idols, most of them couldn't handle the 14-16 hours a day dancing, the grinding tour schedule, the training leading up to debut. 7 guys living in one tiny room and basically having everything planned for you and not getting to see your family. They have no idea of the sacrifices these guys go through. Most people couldn't handle the paparazzi. They forget the amount of work and rejection and only see the final product. And BTS seems so incredibly well adjusted and wants to help people, just amazing. Drives me crazy. Anyway, sorry for the rant. Being creative is just so darn difficult sometimes. As I am sure you know. Have a wonderful rest of your day.😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Facts! 💪🏽💯🐺
Thank you for all the time you have put in to get into intricate details of BTS's art. I love them for a million reasons, but I'm not very tuned in to deciphering rap lyrics. I'm blown away with how philosophical these guys are!!
I appreciate you x infinity!!
Appreciate you!
I love all your reactions!! I have a suggestion to make because this is how I personally listen to the songs. I like to listen to the song and watch the music video without subtitles and just appreciate the art. Then I like to watch an analysis. You don’t have to do this too, whatever you choose to do is going to be great. I’m just so stoked that you’re getting so into BTS!
Lol I gotcha
Great. It’s cool the way you initially grasped the essence and wanted to explore the lyrical cleverness. You might enjoy Ddaeng too, but do your initial take first. DKDKtv has an analysis of that as well
thank you for spending your time listening to this!! thank you!!
I am a new Army myself and am enjoying this journey with you. Really enjoy your videos.
Thank you!
I love your bts reactions, your one of the few people who investigate bts’ songs beyond a superficial level.
and i love how the term "anger" and "human waste" sounds similar in korean so it's real worldplays with the sounds of the words themselves. Geniuses
They have word play! Seen that on ddange...oops 😬 y'all don't know I got that coming tho! 😁
@@ToneyReactions OOH yeah that song is THE BTS worldplay king, i can't wait to see the video about it. Used one word in like 10 different ways in just one verse, insane.
@@ToneyReactions LOL - Spoilers!!!
Personally I like you try to guest their name and the meaning of the song while reacting. For the name you'll get it with time don't worry hehe 🙂 and for the meaning it's refreshing getting new ideas. 😉 it's fun watching your reaction.
BTS don't waste time rapping about boobs, ass, pills, pot. They spit the truth, make a person think without crying in their beer. You are doing great. If you haven't reviewed Bapsae you should. 1 a great dance practice 2 a great explaination by DKDKTV. The song was almost banned in South Korea. When you first hear it you will ask "Why?" DKDKTV will tell you why. Stay well.
Suga does rap about pills, in his solo work. But I think he has the right to address it considering the people who've criticized them in the past, and also drifting from a close friend of his in the past who got caught up in drugs.
Wow, you’re really out here doin’ the work. Killin’ it. We really appreciate the time and effort, especially since many people, especially the western industry, think they are just a boy-band with crazed teenage fangirls🙄. I remember being a baby army, when I finally figured out who was who they would change their hair or their concept, and it was a bit back to the basics. Soon you’ll see a shadow and know “oh that’s Suga” 🤣💜.
Sorry, this is longer than expected.
Just wanna say love your reactions and also your insights. I think the most important thing is to stay honest. I know people say a lot of other reactions are fake but I think some start out genuine and turn fake later on. If you ever need a break from BTS in future or just want to focus on something else for awhile then please be honest. Leave for a bit and come back. We'll be here when you return and your new reactions will be more honest. Army will respect you for that.
I know it seems highly unlikely right now. But if it ever happens, then just want you to know so you don't get stuck thinking you have to do BTS videos like other RUclipsrs might think.
For now, hope you enjoy the ride. I've been keeping an eye on BTS since 2014. Love your jokes, and how self-aware they can be sometimes, things about the boys, about Army, about comments. Keep it up.
Appreciate that!
Loved this reaction!! Glad you got to see the deeper meaning of Ugh! ... If you enjoyed that you would probably really like Ddaeng and then the DKDKTV explained version too - there is A LOT of cool word play in there that you defo wouldn’t get by just listening to the song (which is so so so good btw)
Thank you!!
Thank you for watching this Toney!!
Yay! I'm so glad you reacted to this! DKDKTV has one for "Ddaeng," too, which I also recommend. :D And I hope you don't take these suggested videos as a criticism on your original take on the songs. You're exactly the kind of reactor that ARMYs get so excited about, 'cause you actually are looking at the purpose behind the music, which is a big part of why ARMY is so dedicated to BTS, and why we consider ourselves to be part of the team. Our suggestions are just our enthusiasm and joy at finding a fellow traveler and wanting to share the journey with you.
I watch a lot of reaction videos and i can feel it if someone is just being superficial. I can see that youre geniune in liking BTS. I admire you because of it. Keep digging into the rabbit hole. It is very warm and fun in there
Lol thank you!!
Watch “who is bts seven members of bangtan” it’s dope and you’ll learn them so much better. Great reaction btw!
I suggest "An introduction to the 7 members of BTS" by Ida S instead. It contains pretty much the same essential information but is new and has more "professional" facts rather than some trivia facts that are not even relevant today :)
And also I recommend "a Helpful and Fun Guide to BTS (2020)" by ohjonny: it has less biographical information but focuses more on fun moments. And it is brilliantly edited 😉
Yeah also “This is bts: Introduction to bts” it has a lot of info too
@@iwanttosueminyoongiforbein2819 yes that video is far better i hope he reacts to it instead
I'm glad you decided to watch the explanation video. It really explains how BTS rappers master their wordplays. I don't know about you but I certainly admire and respect them even more the deeper I'm the rabbit hole.
you're one of my favourite reactors thank you for being genuine
💯🐺💪🏽
Thank you. I needed this explained too. I'm new ARMY so on the BTS journey of learning how BTS expresses. Seems like a great deal of their music has many layers...probably why I love it.
Just want to mirror what all the other comments are saying that it’s so nice to have a reactor who wants to learn more about BTS’s artistry and all the things, including culture, that make their songs that more special. And I can already tell that you truly respect them as artists and people. So for that, THANK YOU 🙏 Rest assured... You’re doing great! Don’t be afraid to mess up every now and again, it happens when you’re learning!
I recommend checking out:
1. Ddaeng, listen to the song through and through, and then check out the “Explained” video.
2. IDOL
3. Outro Tear (rapline song - the live performance is 🔥)
4. Daechwita by Agust D - Suga’s solo work
Thank you! And I gotchu
Yes it was needed. And now I love this song more
I love that you're getting into explanation videos! While there are a number of people who create them, there are only a few I feel are helpful. David/DKDK is great.
Your ending comment 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Weldone Toney 💜
💯💪🏽🐺
The way you say some things remind me of Chapelle. I bet you could do a spot on impression! Much love. Truly enjoying your breakdowns and interaction with your viewers.
I do an alright one lol
11:21 when i just got into bts the way i finally remebered their names was by reminding myself that with the rap line, suga has more of a round face with smaller eyes, RM has quite a v shaped jawline with an up pointing nose, and J-Hope has a sharp nose and big eyes
You already entered UGH ... i wait world CYPHER omg xD
lest`s go please
Let's gooooooo
@@ToneyReactions yeahhh
DKDKTV is great and was helpful to me when I was wanting to learn more. Good for you for taking a deeper dive! 💜
I really appreciate you taking time and watching the explanations. It just means that you listen to people that watch your content. I'll definitely check out other things that you post! Good luck in the future! :))
Thank you! 🐺💪🏽💯
you keep bringing smile on my face thru your reactions Toney lmao specially when you try to guess the members on the screen! it makes me feel like knowing them again for the first time even though I've been listening to their music since 2014!
Also, if you're into word plays and such you can always count on Namjoon A.K.A RM!! Joke and Do you is just two of my favorites!
Appreciate the love!!
You should watch a live performance of the song. I find it pretty cool!
Thanks for your sincerity and thanks for wanting to get to know the boys!!💜💜
Thank you for reacting to this, I really means a lot. Hope you get to see a little bit more why Bts is so big. There lyrics and massage in every song is amazing.
You are doing great! It’s so much fun to watch you!
Lol Appreciate you
You're doing great, Sweetie 💜
The more explanation videos you watch and the more you search for BTS's hidden meanings within each video (plus learning more about the song lyrics, the members, the band, the agency, the fandom, the K-Pop industry, Korean culture and history), the more you will enrich your experience and journey within this amazing group of humble young men.
Thank you for taking the time to savor each moment and for your willingness to learn about things that are outside of our typical American mindset.
And thank you for creating your BTS playlist. Make sure all of your BTS related videos are listed (I think you're missing a few). And make sure they are in chronological order. New Armys to your channel like to go through the BTS playlist and see your natural progression as you watch more videos (instead of scrolling through all of your videos to find and watch them).
Also, on your future videos, let the new Armys to your channel know that you have a BTS playlist where they can go and watch all of your BTS related videos.
Thanks again!!
Have a great holiday weekend!
Thank you! Imma start saying that on my videos!
@@ToneyReactions
You're very welcome, hon
Sounds great 💜💜💜
@@ToneyReactions Yep, yep yep! I was getting frustrated with YT's search and sorting algorithms because I couldn't get them all, and all in order. Not that I won't watch your other reaction vids, Toney, but I like to do one rabbit hole at a time and "follow the progression" -- apparently I'm neurodiverse or whatever, but that's what works for me. So, thanks @Jill Hollon, for the "natural progression" comment (consider it stolen), and thanks, Toney, for the playlist!
I love that you are so interested in BTS and wanna learn - welcome to the rabbit hole 😄💜🤙🏽
I'm stuck Birdy lol they got me
Thank you for this! DKDK are amazing with these.
So many songs get "lost in translation"
it can't be easy with BTS deep complex meanings.
But if they go thru so much to give us these great songs
we can dig a little deeper to figure them out.
💜
I really like and appreciate your reviews. watching your reviews and reactions help me understand what messages are being conveyed. I love how you don't hold back your emotions or get excited on those explosive parts.
It's really cool taht you listen to your subscribers and actually did a rwction to this! When you watch Ddaeng (you definitely should!) you should also check their explanation video, it's very good. Maybe you can do it in one video. Also the live version ([BANGTAN BOMB] BTS PROM PARTY : UNIT STAGE) is soo nice!! They are really feeling it.
Also you were absolutely right, when you were talking about celebrities being depressed/suicidal. That was what he was talking about when he mentioned that some K-Pop idols were "forced to make unfortunate desicions" :((
Yeah that's so sad
We appreciate you! And on a side note, I love your sweatshirt. Take care!
I love that you think in word play and intuitively understand their music too! You’ll get the names, don’t worry. You good, keep going 💜
"Win no matter what" KICK! ... Like how you smoothly put that in there!🙌🏾💜
You should definitely watch The Seven Members of Bangtan by SUGA and Spice!
Lol I'm glad you caught it!!
So great you took the time to show us and BTS respect, by listening. Once again, good job! Recognizing names to faces, will come, don’t force it. Each member is very distinct, you have an ear for it, focus on listening to the differences, then grab the name.
Things like the Black Lives Matter movement are exactly what are on my mind when I listen to this song. There are so many agents of regressive behavior in media and culture at large (kardashians, ideals of toxic masculinity. internalized and external misogyny, etc) and certain self-serving political parties using hate and fear to rev up the common populace and pit them against each other. When Obama was elected the first time, I had about 5 min of hopefulness because he spoke about activism as an everyday behavior - but the average person is so apathetic and nothing changed.
Jeezus that just depressed the hell out of me!
RM and Wale's Change is a great track for bringing a little hope. They are both poets.
Wale - "I see hope via my daughter's eye"
RM - "I see some grass growing in Winter's eye."
I just want to say, I love your reactions! You seem like such a genuine person. Thanks for being open minded about BTS!
Explanation video's are a must to understand. Glad you've noticed 💜💜💯💯
Wow. That was so helpful. Everytime I learn more of their lyrics the more I love them! Thank you for this reaction. I was excited for you when you recognized RM. You figured it out pretty well even with the bad translation.
I was trying lol
Thanks Toney! Thanks Army, I've never seen this! Brilliant!
Your smile and laugh is so contagious :)
No wonder you looked familiar to me.. I was just looking up Eminem reactions and came across your other video. It's nice to see you reacting to BTS too and because I know you appreciate lyricism (from seeing you break down the Eminem song).. I know you'd appreciate the layers in BTS music too. The rappers in BTS are really influenced by Eminem. They have mentioned Em in their interviews from time to time and also he was the first non-Korean artist that they went to see in concert when they were teenagers. If you want to listen to their story of how they got into hip-hop through a song, you should check out "Hip Hop Lover" (or Hip Hop Phile) by BTS. There is a lyric video for it.
Lol you didn't know it was me!??
Love that you make the effort to watch explanation Videos to get most of their Songs, really appreciate it ♡
I'm glad you watched this to better understand their lyrics. I would say most of BTS songs have a deep meaning which is why I love their music even more.
I really enjoy your reactions! You always try to delve deeper and look beyond the surface, which is how BTS songs should be viewed. They are never straightforward. And don't worry we like your efforts, even if not always 100%, learning names takes time.
You are definitely gonna love "Ddaeng"😌
Imma check it out
Really glad you did this! I love Ugh! and the message it conveys. It is my favorite from the BTS rapline.
You gotta watch the stage mixes or live versions of Cypher 4, Cypher Medley, and Outro: Tear
My mother tongue is Spanish, I really like the music from BTS, but then I got into this rabbit hole and I'm trying to understand the meaning behind the songs. I'm not into hip hop but I found these lyrics really interesting when the real translation came into my mind, even though I have a double translation. I really understand what you mean when you say, it would be easier to hear what they meant in my own language but I have lived all my life trying to understand other languages, not only English. I can even say that is really nice that Americans can have that struggle too.
And btw I think you are very clever in your comments, it took me many attempts to get what you have in just one shoot.
Graciás! Lol 💯🐺💪🏽
Love watching reactors like you who are genuinely interested in learning about this lyrics and what the boys are trying to share with the world.... looking forward for more videos... 💜
The last couple of years there have been a surge of suicides in the k-pop industry.
At least more than usual, it is a very pressure filled environment and they are expected to be perfect. The articles I read mentioned online bullying and hate.
BTS is the most sweet and socially conscience group out there. They are always ready to speak out against injustice and do their part. That is one of the biggest reasons that I love them so much. I think it is really great that you are doing so much to understand their music.
Appreciate you
Aren't BTS just amazing, they are constantly trying to fight injustice.
Suga tends to lean the most into Korean culture references, as seen is this song or with "dogs and pigs" in the track 'Am I Wrong', finding explanations on his songs and verses is really fun and informative. RM does a lot of word play that we still get the base meaning of through the translations but loose all of the many many layers. His familiarity with English might be what makes his lyrics translate a bit better, probably why he is the biggest lyrical contributor across all BTS tracks and albums. J Hope is the phonetic genius, yes there is important meaning and layers but just the auditory experience he provides, on it's own, is fantastic to listen to regardless of meaning. His contributions to tracks like "Awake" ("runaway runaway don't cry") or 'Dionysus" showcase the range of this talent.
Smart move heading over to DKDKTV; David Kim gives the best language and cultural breakdowns for BTS songs. His seemingly equal understanding of both Korean and American/Western culture make him an invaluable asset to International ARMYs.
Side note: if you make it to 'Spring Day', you'll need an explanation video to that as well. Partially for the song, though that can be interpreted to have a broad meaning, but mainly for all the visual references in the MV. There are many invisible members of BTS and one of them is LUMPENS, the artist and studio that does most of their MVs.
I really appreciate you taking the time to look into BTS and also looking into the meaning of their songs because they are truly incredible and it's been awesome watching you get sucked into the rabbit hole just like we all were XD You're awesome
Thanks for taking this time and effort of fully understanding the song’s layers!
I love that this song needs to be said into today society, and why some people need to understand there is so much hate in this world. And that BTS is only a small part that is opening up about what they can show the positive outlook on what we need. Look at ARMYs from all over the world are working to help that along. Yes their are going to be over zealous ones, but true ARMYs show positive impacts.
I knew you’d appreciate it!
You’d definitely like Daechwita if you liked this.
Also Suga’s song Strange (off his latest mix tape featuring RM) has to do with their thoughts on Capitalism which I think you’d appreciate as well!
Definitely needed this
I am sooooooo glad you did this video!!! They explain a lot of BTS Videos.
I can’t wait to watch your reactions to their live performances. Lyrics with the MVs are great but when they perform they really bring the passion and emotions to wrap it all up
