Just to clear a few things up.... 1. the comment of the fans being generally younger and in school was made because i assumed that the boys had a younger audience as most boy bands do (also i'm young and in school) BUT I'm clearly learning that it's not the case with the boys so if i offended someone by that I'm truly sorry ❤️. PLEASE keep in mind that i'm still new to them as a group so i didn't know what fan base they had. I'm learning everyday about them so cut me slack lol 2. when i made that "America sucks at everything" comment i was referring to the fact that us americans are normally close minded and not open to talent that isn't from the U.S so i felt like the boys had a dark season because it came off cringe and weird (mainly due to the show). Yes the boys gained some footing but i don’t think that they should have to do that to get in with America because their talent and kindness alone should be enough.
Okay, this presenter is giving his personal opinion about American Hustle Life. Let me tell you who I am. I'm a 74 year old one year Army. I grew up in the days of fresh R&B, and I've seen every genre you're probably familiar with come to life and partially die. I used to skate in North Manhattan right across the river from the neighborhood in the Bronx where East Coast hip-hop and rap were born. Those young men and women took over the skating rink I used to attend. I watched their early competitions when skating was no longer possible. When BTS went to the West Coast to work with LA hip-hop for their American Hustle Life reality show, there was a huge age gap as well as cultural gap between the LA musicians and the BTS members. BTS were young young young, and shy shy shy. Besides imbibing West Coast hip-hop from originators, I believe Big Hit intended for BTS to get used to fronting for their own group with the public. Meaning reaching out person-to-person, giving out flyers, inviting people to a show, busking, and doing other kinds of things that put BTS in vulnerable positions with the public, so they could develop their sense of themselves as flexible, adaptable, courageous young men who were in essence marketing both themselves and their musical art direct to the public. I think that planning and funding American Hustle Life is one of the most insightful things that Big Hit did for BTS. Watching it is both enlightening and moving, and it's often hilarious, too. It was BTS's bootcamp introduction into American soul. It's no accident that one of their most emotionally deep albums, Dark and Wild, was developed and produced immediately after their trip to LA. It's also no accident that that album is where the BTS tradition of a lot of humor in some of their tracks was established. BTS learned to let themselves out, out there in LA. They learned to get serious, too. I think it's one of the most valuable episodes in their lives. This is my opinion. I hope you will consider it, as this presenter's opinions resonate for you.
@@HeatherQuinn I'm an older Army, too. I completely agree with you. American Hustle Life was a humbling, yet invaluable experience for them. Plus RM and Suga's rap influence was rooted in old school hip-hop. I believe this period is what shaped BTS into the men and the artist they are today, especially that day they were bringing food to the homeless on skid row. The advice those men gave BTS that day, the boys still live by even to this day. People shouldn't be dismissive about American Hustle Life. I believe this truly was a game changer for them.
@@HeatherQuinn From what I've read, 'Dark and Wild' was recorded in Los Angeles in a garage. Watching their old logs, if I remember correctly, they did this at night. I don't know how they did it - working on the album at night and recording 'American Hustle Life' during the day. It's probably why their "keepers" had such a hard time waking them up in the mornings.
Welcome to the family gurl!!!! I want to pull you into BU (Bangtan Universe) let's make our IQ higher together thinking about the theory kekekeke... but now it was finished... but it's ok.. just watch it.. the connected MV of the HYYH series... or maybe you can study them more and our Family more.. such us the ARMY and Bangtan... the one that @xCeleste made.... good luck in studying our family.. because our family not just "some crazy screaming gurl" but an educated bunch of people... once again welcome and sorry with my rambling hehehe... borahae
This guy mentioned only bts music, wait till you see the rapline mixtapes and vocal line solo tracks and covers that have been released for free for the fans 😌😌😌 bangtan never disappoints!
@@caitlinbensonn it's ok sweetheart , this amount of content sure is overwhelming. I'd suggest checking out the latest album Be cause it's only 8tracks including Dynamite and is a great showcase of the boys strengths and personality. After that a run through major hits and solo tracks for each member, then whatever your heart desires acc to your preferences 😊
I’d like to share about Sleepy, the rapper who discovered RM and introduced him to P.Dogg (Big Hit’s Head producer). According to a Korean ARMY that I know, he is an underrated rapper in Korea who is more well-known for his comedic nature on Korean variety shows. He wasn’t able to sell his music and was in a mental and financial slump in the last few years. But guess what? After his slump, he went to TV and radio to express his thanks to Jin (of BTS) who offered help during that time (Jin also offered money but he rejected it). Everything in life really does come full circle. Sleepy helps a desperate young RM, years later RM's mate Jin helps a struggling Sleepy get back on his feet. Karma is real.
Wow!! That’s amazing! That’s why I was so impressed with sleepy because the music industry is so cut throat and if you don’t have the talent or mess up a little bit they just throw you away, but the fact that sleepy stepped in for him and basically help get him signed is so incredible! And then for Jin to come back and help him out after makes me so happy that these boys never Forget where they came from! 👏🏼❤️
OMG you make me cry so hard rn. How come i didn't know this?!? I've been an Army for 3 years😭😭 Karma is real guyss. Whether it's a good karma or bad karma💜💜
Hi Caitlin, i love watching your reaction video, u r sooo funny and real, i can feel that ur comments are coming from ur heart 🥰🥰🥰... Also thx @Deedee...sharing abt Sleepy....wow that is really wholesome...😥💜💜
Sleepy was in TS Entertainment, a company that was known for exploiting its artists. That's why Sleepy is still SO poor despite his many tv appearances. Him and Bang Yong Guk from BAP are best friends. RM is actually featured on BYG's mixtape Yamazaki. Fucking fire song. Sorry, I'm a BYG fangirl. lol
It was said about the bts members "they love each other so much they don't know what to do "😊 their bond is one of the main reasons for ARMYs to love them, very unique.
The fact that they actually write incredibly deep, meaningful lyrics is something that really makes them stand way above any other group for me. Their songs have genuinely helped TONS of people get through really hard times in their lives, including myself. There's a saying among Army that you find BTS when you need them the most, and I love that. ❤
Omg, you are hilarious! I didn’t stop laughing/smiling while watching your reaction! You are becoming one of my favorite creators! Please, please, please continue reacting to BTS! It’s so much fun watching people fall in love with these guys!! 💜
Not at you realizing you have sO much to react to had me laughing 😂 I’m excited to see you dwell into the universe that is Bangtan. Just remember to do it in your own tempo and have fun with it!! You’ll not regret to love these boys 💕
@@caitlinbensonn you’re most welcome, I just found you really sweet and wholesome ☺️💕 I usually don’t comment on stuff a lot on RUclips but felt the urge to show a lil appreciation for you. I’ll definitely keep watching 🙆♀️
Fun fact about the savage love remix: it reached number 1 on billboard and Jason thanked everyone except BTS when they were the ones who got him his first number 1 since 2008 or 2009. And so Army stopped streaming the remix and it went down from the charts QUICK😌✨
This is so funny to me because this is one of the posts “Jimin” makes on the game BTS World. Can’t remember it word for word but he says “Sometimes I’m called angel, sometimes fairy, what do you think?” Then you are given the option of picking angel, fairy or both. LOL
34:34 Giirrrrllll, they've got vlogs, dance practice videos, three movies, three docu-series, a travel series that has 4 seasons, a variety show that is now over a 100 episodes long, and so much more. Army is a well-fed fandom and we get so much content and interaction of the boys. It's awesome. I just hope covid ends soon so we can actually see them in concerts. Performers must feel so sad when they can't perform in front of a live audience.
This presentation leaves out the fact that Park Jimin has a black belt in Taekwondo and studied Kendo (Japanese fencing) for 8 years. I feel that his martial arts training gave him his intense focus and calm, as well as physical strength, flexibility, and sharp isolations, and supports his attitude of kindness and caring. 💜🌿💜
maybe someone has already said everything i'm going to say but i'm still sharing just in case 4:04 this was a bad case but overall rm had been actually really famous in the underground scene. he was literally like 13-15 i think but some older rappers already feared and admired him there. he took a break once to focus on his studies and so many were surprised to learn that he was still in school (might have even been middle school)
BTS has so much talent. Their vocal line songs, their solos, and don't even get me started on their rap line and their solos. This is just the beginning.
Haha yeah a lot of people are saying that the video was a little outdated due to the boys killing it everyday lol I’ll probably most likely have to watch more information based videos on my own because there’s so many of them and it would take me forever to react to each one on here! ❤️
Just found you today and already love your reactions. I've been an Army since mid 2014. I love BTS not just because they are amazing artist but because they are amazing humans. They deserve to be where they are they have been though so much.💜💜💜
Girll when i was 14 i was watching spongebob and gumball then i found bts suddenly on yt and here i am watching your reaction on bts and feeling so proud 😭💜
I know you have received so many recommendations that I’m excited to see your journey. I won’t add to your laundry list, until later down the line. I saw in one of your other videos that you are a music major. So they have just about everything that will keep you hooked. After you’ve run through all the usual top requests, I have a couple that I believe you’d love. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t wait for you to experience Life Goes On, Black Swan, Blood Sweat & Tears, Fire and the rest, too! I just have a feeling you would be interested in some if the “B-side” songs.
wow love this comment! i think once i get over the shock of them being so good lol i can dive even deeper into them! there's so much to learn and catch so it will take awhile haha but thanks for the encouragement! ❤️
thank you for saying america sucks because as an american i feel the same way. america is the most ignorant & close minded people ever and in american hustle life the boys were treated so badly like i can’t even watch the show without cringing and getting angry.
Yes you’re speaking facts! I hate that they even had to do that to get any footing in America 🙄.... I wish we could just welcome people for who they are!
@@caitlinbensonn me too they didn’t need to come to america to learn “the true ways of hip hop”. america needs to learn how to welcome anyone no matter their background, religion, race, ethnicity etc!
While AHL was cringey and there were a lot of issues, the guys _did_ learn a lot from that experience. Before then, they didn't really know a lot about the true history and bg of hip hop and that was a way from them to learn from some of the OGs about it. As a black fan it meant a lot to me to see them looking into some of the lyrics and history of how hip hop was used as a tool for black artists to speak about some of the social injustices they faced. In addition to that, you could tell that they still follow some of the advice from the mentors (not the ones like Coolio and Dante) like Iris, Jenny Kita, and the people on Skid row that they met. So yeah the show was cringy but it wasn't completely and utterly horrible.
@@Etoile_J I agree. Cringy but they learned valuable lessons and maybe that’s why they are the way they are: never taking anything for granted, being humble and definitely giving back (charities, BLM, etc.).
You stated..” I am a proud Mom” I want to tell you I am a proud grandma. I am 64 years old and I found BTS three years ago, watching a rerun of an award show and which BTS performed Fire and I was hooked. Yes, you stated you have so much to react to never has a true statement been made. They have a run series which is set up like games that they play against each other or with each other, they have a series called Call bon voyage where they record their trips and so much more. I forgot to subscribe and your previous reaction which I said I would do so I’m going to do so here. So looking forward to more reactions from you as since you like Suga, I would love to see your reaction to Daechwita, which is done by Suga, I love his rapping in this performance. I promise you you will not be disappointed.
After the release of this documentary BTS already have broken new records with their new album BE released Nov 20th. Some of them are BTS BAK (Billboard all kill) on the Billboard Charts: #1 on Billboard 200 #1 on Billboard Hot 100 #1 on Global 200 Excl. US #1 on Global Singles 200 #1 on Digital Song Sales Chart #1 on Artist 100 #1 World Albums #1 World Digital Song #1 Top Album Sales #1 Independent Album #1 on Top Social 50 All the 7 songs of BE entered Hot 100 (except skit) and top digital song charts (simultaneously 1-7) - Here they broke a record held by lady gaga. They became the first Korean act to Top Billboard Hot 100 with a Korean song. First artist in the US music history to do so. They became the fastest group to generate five #1 albums in the US since the Beatles (1966-1968). First kpop act to have a Grammy nomination. Early December they swapped (again) all Daesangs (grand prizes) from both Asian major award shows MMA and MAMA. Named Entertainers of the year by Time Magazine Btw, I'm subscribing.
PLZ don't forget to ALWAYS turn the captions ON (their lyrics are a huge part of their success💜)...if you wanna cry you should react to "Life goes on" 👉👈😔 i loved your video ;) you seem to be very genuine 💕. If you don't like something just say it, ARMY loves honest reactors👍.
Thank you! From now on the captions will always be on if I’m doing a song or hearing them talk but this video in particular was done in English by the creator and had many subtitles so I was able to understand most! I’ll definitely share if I don’t like something. Honestly I didn’t think I would like BTS at all since I don’t listen to that kind of music but they moved me tremendously and I genuinely enjoy them 😊❤️!
OOof. Wait until you get to BTS (specifically, RM) giving a speech at the UN (2018). It sealed the deal for me. Watch the behind the scenes of the 2018 speech as well: Behind the scenes (preparation, a must watch) ruclips.net/video/YqYlBeZEQak/видео.html Speech: ruclips.net/video/oTe4f-bBEKg/видео.html
Actually while watching this, i see you as an army because that's how armys react lol. Btw I'm so happy to see you react to them. Also I'm watching this while our internet connection sucks but i came back to continue because i really love your reaction. Anyways you hear the storyline, if you want a list of story line with links, i can comment it here. Also it's still ongoing until now. Don't pressure yourself to the content. Btw i wish you could react to THIS IS BTS by xceleste because that also helps and will add some knowledge about them as a band. I really want to be with your journey in BTS. I want to help you. Idk i just feel the connection lol. Anyways thank you very much and "YOU NICE KEEP GOING" (This is JIMIN iconic line to himself) Borahae. 💜
Omg wow thank you for the kind words and being so encouraging! I definitely feel that connection too! I’m going to be watching the video you mentioned and the other ones with information on my own time just because there are so many requests for them that I don’t want to get overwhelmed with reacting to them all and can just jump into the music with me watching the videos on my own time! Thank you for joining me on the journey! 🥺😭 I’m so excited! ❤️
Wow, you have so many accurate insights already--love it! Come join us down the rabbit hole.... Do need to warn you though...you will cry. Sometimes from laughing so hard, but more often from something that seems to be speaking to the deepest part of who you are.
Haha thank you! I feel myself falling deeper and deeper with every reaction lol honestly if I get an extremely emotional song with amazing lyrics accompanied by Piano I’m done haha ❤️
Welcome to BTS world Caitlin, I love watching AUTHENTIC reactions of people who just now discovering The Bangtan boys. Yes, we become and feels like proud parents to them... with every milestones and success... they bring so much joy and happiness to the army’s. The funniest guys ever.😁😁😁😁Looking forward to more reactions.💜
At 50 years of age I became a BTS fan. At 67 I became ARMY. In a few weeks I will be 68 and I will still be with them because I Love and Support BTS unconditionally 💜 ❤️ 💖 💓 BTS Fandom run the gambit of all ages and nationalities. And going into 2021 BTS and ARMY will continue to increase our family and friendships around the 🌎 world 💚💛🧡❤❣💟💕💞💓💗💖💝💙🤍💜💯%
Don't know if you noticed or not but their first names are said last in South Korea. So 3 of the members surnames are Kim but they are not blood related. So they have their stage names and real first names. Their stage names are Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. And their real first names are Seokjin, Yoongi, Hoseok, Namjoon, Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook. Not to mention all the nicknames they call each other and the names fans call them. LOL. But trust me over time it gets much easier. And if I'm not mistaken I think Jungkook was actually 13 when he joined Bihgit Entertainment. I can't speak for what their fanbase was when they started. But know BTS fans now are all ages, nationalities, races, and genders. Most BTS fans are actually 30's-40's according to a survey. As to why you haven't heard their songs, well because they Korean and sing and rap in Korean plays a major part. They didn't get major radio play until they made their first and only english song. It's basically something you have to seek out yourself because the US sure as hell is not going to promote them properly. But they have been on numerous US talk shows and US award shows. A lot of people just hear the word kpop. steer clear, and never give them a chance. And about the tour being cancelled I feel you. I started to become a fan of BTS in May of 2019 and all I wanted to see BTS live in concert so when I found out about their 2020 tour I was like yes this is my chance. I had tickets (which getting tickets is like the hunger games) to see them in Chicago and then the pandemic happened. You have no idea how mad I was and still am, but there's nothing I can really do about it except be thankful about my families health. Plus I was mad that it was possibly my last chance to see all 7 members tour together for awhile. You see in South Korea military service in mandatory for all males and you have to enlist by 28 and Jin the oldest member turned 28 on December 4. But luckily the South Korea govn't changed the law to allow kpop stars to delay enlistment until age 30 if they've received Korean honorary merit medals which BTS have received. So if Jin accepts the delay we have BTS for another 2 years.
Wow definitely didn’t know that their first names were said last! I feel like even after this video there’s still a ton of information that I’m missing! - woah wait so like the boys have to stop being a band In 2 years due to the military service? 🤯 what if they get super big? They just have to stop all of their success? I wonder how they feel about that.. for me if I were them it would suck because I absolutely love music and to be able to find something that I love with band members that I love like they do and be forced to leave it would break my heart.
Thank you! I’m gonna watch this on my own time and not on the channel because there’s been so many request for different information videos and it would take me forever to react to all of them but I will watch this! ❤️
You haven't heard of them because American audiences didn't have it on radio airplay because all their songs are mostly in Korean. Idol groups are really focused on how the idol looks, how they act, how they appear in public. Jin is handsome and so are the remaining vocalists, and they need them as front men. Sometimes RM said "let the good looking guys exit first" as they will be the ones photographed first. RM was ridiculed as being too ugly to be an idol , and to this day, when you see his hand over his face, it's to diss his haters as if to say, look where I'm at now! None of them are ugly, and it's all the haters that try to bring them down.
I’m having so much fun watching this reaction!! I haven’t seen this introduction video before but I’m happy with how it tells their story, and your commentary is very sincere. Thank you
You should definitely watch the introduction to bts video it's like 26 mins long but it's so worth it because it breaks down each member and tells you more about them you'll love it 💜💜😊😊
BTS is truly an underdog story. From the very beginning, no one took them very seriously in the industry. They were considered a joke. If you look at their videos from when they first started to now, the budget obviously wasn't there. They busted their asses off, starved themselves, all to have a shot at their dream. They show that hard work pays off. As for Jungkook, the other members basically raised him. I saw your comment about their fans being "younger" below, why they generally are a younger audience, they also attract older fans too. I'm 50 and I love BTS and I'm totally mad at COVID because I had tickets for the Chicago show. Regarding the story telling, it's definitely in their videos. While you can watch them alone, if you go from beginning to end, you'll see how they're entwined and will begin to notice it is later videos.
Thank you for reacting to this! Next I would recommend u to react to Bts crash course, which dives deeper into the fandom cause we’re really diverse and not only young people still attending school! It’s amazing, really. As for Music videos, I really think you would enjoy Fake Love and Black Swan! 😊
I liked your reaction. Enjoy the ride of discovering bts and their music. They have songs for every mood. The last album BE is amaziiiiing and Namjoon's mixtape Mono is really special. If you want to dive more into them I recommend you following them in SoundCloud, weverse app and download vlive app to watch their shows.
You don’t only have music to react to... 😂😂 There’s so many funny compilations and tv shows that they do (for example, Run BTS! has over 120 episodes of around 30-45 min)
hey imma recommended you to react for "BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS" and "Fake love" Music videos... It's music video production is totally amazing and impossible... And also have so many meaning that every people can't explain that.... Pls react to that 👍💜💜
one thing a bonus for us is that they make DIFFERENT kinds of genres so I dont feel bored of the songs. You feel like listening to different kinds of artists
I think I might be the only person that actually enjoyed and is thankful for American Hustle Life. Don’t get me wrong there’s some tough scenes to watch but the boys were massive Hip Hop fans and only really experienced it from Korea. Sometimes you have to go through tough times to grow and they really learnt a lot in that trip about the music they make and where Hip Hop actually comes from. :) You’re my new fave reaction channel - subscribed :)
I really do love watching you becoming familiar with the boys :) Their music is just on another level and it doesn't matter which genre you prefer. They are doing it like nobody else :D I'm always happy for new people to discover Bts because they brought me so much happiness :) Once you are a fan they just become a part of you're life. I hope you enjoy the music and all the other things around that. There is a lot of content to watch, but don't force yourself to rush through it. Just enjoy it and have fun in your own speed
PLS U ARE ALREADY SO DAMN PROUD AND U JUST HEARD ABOUT THEIR STORY (mostly the good things because bts got a LOT hate etc) I CANT WAIT FOR U TOO SEE ALL MEMBER'S UNIQUE PERSONALITIES AND THEIR SONGS AND THE MEANINGS BEHIND THEIR LYRICS
You are so fun as a person. I had a really good time watching you. You are so genuine too. Thank you for giving our boys a chance and let me warn you your life will change for the better afterwards 😂 Keep up the hard work! I just subscribed to your channel and put on my post notifications so I wouldn't miss any BTS reactions!!! I LOVE YOU AND I PURPLE YOU💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I knew BTS since 2014~2015 but was rather just a chill "fan" enjoying the music but never really had the chance to dive deeper. But with COVID and the time I got off school I found myself watching their funny moments more often then I fell into the BU storyline (BTS Universe) and now I regret not listening to ARMY back in the days and thinking they are just over hyping them because it's the trend. Believe me BTS isn't a trend. They are changing the industry completely. A lot of fans are now only expecting higher quality from other artists as well especially because of what BTS produces. I'm seeing a lot of artists getting inspired and working even harder because they came across BTS (and getting a lot of recognition because of that hard-work). And most importantly, ARMY, and I'm so proud to call myself an ARMY are trying their best to not only support BTS in their music BUT ALSO rise up to become better people worth being called the fans of such legends. Welcome to the fandom sweetie ❤️🥰 Buckle up this is gonna be a very exciting journey!
Jin was scouted for his looks. He is the official visual of BTS. Being the visual means you fit the KOREAN BEAUTY STANDARDS and yes he really is good looking.
As a slight veteran fangirl of kpop (12ish years), and even as an Exo-L I've always been quite proud of BTS and all they overcame and achieved. It's been fun watching them and other talented groups grab fame and find success. The only downside to Kpop is loving a group and them disbanding due to a company's harsh restrictions and conditions, being pushed past extreme limits, and lack of promotions. Luckily Big Hit spared nothing to push them to the top. The boys and the company both were able to create amazing music and market well. BTS deserves every ounce of fame they got.
I am so entertained by your so cute reactions about BTS , i already heard so much of this stories but you nailed it!! keep it up and expecting more .... of course BTS!
Psst... JK was 13yrs old in north American years...he was sooo young... 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🇨🇦 absolutely no offense re age... do a search and you will be very surprised at the demograph of the fans ❤ i have turned many of my friends and before my mom passed in May at 82..I turned her into ARMY too lol also if not for covid...we would not have had Dynamite... silver lining... I can't stop adding to my comment... check out sugas (Agusta D) Daechwita... BTS mic drop... omg there is soooo much... enjoy
I'm very impressed by your reaction. Because your reaction was very real. I became am ARMY in 2014 and I grew with them. They made me a better person. Glad to welcome you to our big family. Btw I'm 28 years old from Europe and saw them 3 times ♡. Very proud :-)
Welcome to the fandom! Recently discovered your channel. Very happy to see someone who shows genuine appreciation to the boys. More power to your channel! 💜
I generally turn off videos of reactors who make too many facial reactions cuz they seem so fake, but your facial reactions cracked me up! (except the ones where you blur yourself cuz they made me dizzy) haha.
I'm so thrilled to see you joining ARMY and falling in love with BTS. They definitely struggled coming from a smaller company, and they've worked hard to be where they are. I just wanted to also note your "didn't get any handouts comment." You're totally right about that being BTS's case, but it makes it seem like many other groups haven't worked hard for their success as well. Trainee life in k-pop companies is quite gruelling, and debuting and being successful is actually so so hard for any group, no matter where they come from. Because of how small the domestic market is in Korea, it's really oversaturated with tons of groups, so those that make it and are successful really do have to work hard for it as well. I hope that as you continue this journey, yu can see just how amazing the entire K-Pop world is, and BTS are such an amazing entrance into it! Welcome to ARMY!
OMG Caitlin! I accidentally discovered you & I am totally enjoying your further discovery & learning about BTS with great pride, giggles coz you are funny & as are your affects! So much so, I HAD to subscribe ;-) Well I also love how you react to the members who are absolutely brilliant artists & beautiful human beings. FYI my BIAS is JIMIN aka ANGEL and I got to give you props for recognizing him as such! You are a JOY to watch, keep up the great work.
Just to clear a few things up....
1. the comment of the fans being generally younger and in school was made because i assumed that the boys had a younger audience as most boy bands do (also i'm young and in school) BUT I'm clearly learning that it's not the case with the boys so if i offended someone by that I'm truly sorry ❤️. PLEASE keep in mind that i'm still new to them as a group so i didn't know what fan base they had. I'm learning everyday about them so cut me slack lol
2. when i made that "America sucks at everything" comment i was referring to the fact that us americans are normally close minded and not open to talent that isn't from the U.S so i felt like the boys had a dark season because it came off cringe and weird (mainly due to the show). Yes the boys gained some footing but i don’t think that they should have to do that to get in with America because their talent and kindness alone should be enough.
Okay, this presenter is giving his personal opinion about American Hustle Life. Let me tell you who I am. I'm a 74 year old one year Army. I grew up in the days of fresh R&B, and I've seen every genre you're probably familiar with come to life and partially die. I used to skate in North Manhattan right across the river from the neighborhood in the Bronx where East Coast hip-hop and rap were born. Those young men and women took over the skating rink I used to attend. I watched their early competitions when skating was no longer possible. When BTS went to the West Coast to work with LA hip-hop for their American Hustle Life reality show, there was a huge age gap as well as cultural gap between the LA musicians and the BTS members. BTS were young young young, and shy shy shy. Besides imbibing West Coast hip-hop from originators, I believe Big Hit intended for BTS to get used to fronting for their own group with the public. Meaning reaching out person-to-person, giving out flyers, inviting people to a show, busking, and doing other kinds of things that put BTS in vulnerable positions with the public, so they could develop their sense of themselves as flexible, adaptable, courageous young men who were in essence marketing both themselves and their musical art direct to the public. I think that planning and funding American Hustle Life is one of the most insightful things that Big Hit did for BTS. Watching it is both enlightening and moving, and it's often hilarious, too. It was BTS's bootcamp introduction into American soul. It's no accident that one of their most emotionally deep albums, Dark and Wild, was developed and produced immediately after their trip to LA. It's also no accident that that album is where the BTS tradition of a lot of humor in some of their tracks was established. BTS learned to let themselves out, out there in LA. They learned to get serious, too. I think it's one of the most valuable episodes in their lives. This is my opinion. I hope you will consider it, as this presenter's opinions resonate for you.
It's okay we understand :)
@@HeatherQuinn I'm an older Army, too. I completely agree with you. American Hustle Life was a humbling, yet invaluable experience for them. Plus RM and Suga's rap influence was rooted in old school hip-hop. I believe this period is what shaped BTS into the men and the artist they are today, especially that day they were bringing food to the homeless on skid row. The advice those men gave BTS that day, the boys still live by even to this day. People shouldn't be dismissive about American Hustle Life. I believe this truly was a game changer for them.
@@HeatherQuinn From what I've read, 'Dark and Wild' was recorded in Los Angeles in a garage. Watching their old logs, if I remember correctly, they did this at night. I don't know how they did it - working on the album at night and recording 'American Hustle Life' during the day. It's probably why their "keepers" had such a hard time waking them up in the mornings.
Welcome to the family gurl!!!! I want to pull you into BU (Bangtan Universe) let's make our IQ higher together thinking about the theory kekekeke... but now it was finished... but it's ok.. just watch it.. the connected MV of the HYYH series... or maybe you can study them more and our Family more.. such us the ARMY and Bangtan... the one that @xCeleste made.... good luck in studying our family.. because our family not just "some crazy screaming gurl" but an educated bunch of people... once again welcome and sorry with my rambling hehehe... borahae
Does anyone else get emotional when new people "discover" BTS and realize what they've been missing out on? No... just me? :)
Same here! 🤧🤚
i was crying multiple times during this reaction hahaha
I love watching other people fall in love with our boys.
Same! hahaha I can watch 20 different people react to the same video and STILL cry hahaha
No its not just you. I get very emotional when new news discover Bts and realize that there is no one on earth can compare to these artists/Kings💜🥰
"When i was 14, i was only playing with sticks." LOL 🤣🤣🤣
Haha it’s true 😂😂
I actually laughed out loud. Legit lol
Me too though 😂
Omg I am laughing so hard right now.😂😂😂😂
Im dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This guy mentioned only bts music, wait till you see the rapline mixtapes and vocal line solo tracks and covers that have been released for free for the fans 😌😌😌 bangtan never disappoints!
omg I'M NOT READY LOL 😭
@@caitlinbensonn it's ok sweetheart , this amount of content sure is overwhelming. I'd suggest checking out the latest album Be cause it's only 8tracks including Dynamite and is a great showcase of the boys strengths and personality. After that a run through major hits and solo tracks for each member, then whatever your heart desires acc to your preferences 😊
Caitlin will hear those tracks... and we will be here with her 💜
I’d like to share about Sleepy, the rapper who discovered RM and introduced him to P.Dogg (Big Hit’s Head producer). According to a Korean ARMY that I know, he is an underrated rapper in Korea who is more well-known for his comedic nature on Korean variety shows. He wasn’t able to sell his music and was in a mental and financial slump in the last few years. But guess what? After his slump, he went to TV and radio to express his thanks to Jin (of BTS) who offered help during that time (Jin also offered money but he rejected it). Everything in life really does come full circle. Sleepy helps a desperate young RM, years later RM's mate Jin helps a struggling Sleepy get back on his feet. Karma is real.
Wow!! That’s amazing! That’s why I was so impressed with sleepy because the music industry is so cut throat and if you don’t have the talent or mess up a little bit they just throw you away, but the fact that sleepy stepped in for him and basically help get him signed is so incredible! And then for Jin to come back and help him out after makes me so happy that these boys never Forget where they came from! 👏🏼❤️
OMG you make me cry so hard rn. How come i didn't know this?!? I've been an Army for 3 years😭😭
Karma is real guyss. Whether it's a good karma or bad karma💜💜
Hi Caitlin, i love watching your reaction video, u r sooo funny and real, i can feel that ur comments are coming from ur heart 🥰🥰🥰... Also thx @Deedee...sharing abt Sleepy....wow that is really wholesome...😥💜💜
Sleepy was in TS Entertainment, a company that was known for exploiting its artists. That's why Sleepy is still SO poor despite his many tv appearances. Him and Bang Yong Guk from BAP are best friends. RM is actually featured on BYG's mixtape Yamazaki. Fucking fire song. Sorry, I'm a BYG fangirl. lol
I love Sleepy and Jin's bond in Law of The Jungle. Such a good person, that guy. BTS wouldn't have RM had he not urged him to audition to BigHit
It was said about the bts members "they love each other so much they don't know what to do "😊 their bond is one of the main reasons for ARMYs to love them, very unique.
i can feel the love between them through the screen. I can't say that for a lot of other bands.
The fact that they actually write incredibly deep, meaningful lyrics is something that really makes them stand way above any other group for me. Their songs have genuinely helped TONS of people get through really hard times in their lives, including myself. There's a saying among Army that you find BTS when you need them the most, and I love that. ❤
Yes! ❤️🥺
This. I love their vocals, beat, choreo, etc. but it is the lyrics that touch my soul.
xx group sings only about girls and some fans told this xx group that their songs saved their loves and I was like how?
Omg, you are hilarious! I didn’t stop laughing/smiling while watching your reaction! You are becoming one of my favorite creators! Please, please, please continue reacting to BTS! It’s so much fun watching people fall in love with these guys!! 💜
Omg thank you so much for the kind words! ❤️ I’ll for sure be reacting to more BTS content! I have a video going live tomorrow! 😊
"They have vlogs?!"
They have... everything. EVERYTHING you can imagine : books, movies, webtoons, shortfilms, vlogs, reality shows, lives, etc...
Not at you realizing you have sO much to react to had me laughing 😂 I’m excited to see you dwell into the universe that is Bangtan.
Just remember to do it in your own tempo and have fun with it!! You’ll not regret to love these boys 💕
AND ALSO ALWAYS BEING HONEST...plz💜💜💜
@@bluemoonmichael6127 yes!! But I feel like she is very genuine in what I’ve seen so far ☺️
@@sandraludvigsenu right!
Haha I literally got so overwhelmed for a second lol but thank you for being so sweet and encouraging! Means the world! 🥺❤️
@@caitlinbensonn you’re most welcome, I just found you really sweet and wholesome ☺️💕 I usually don’t comment on stuff a lot on RUclips but felt the urge to show a lil appreciation for you. I’ll definitely keep watching 🙆♀️
Fun fact about the savage love remix: it reached number 1 on billboard and Jason thanked everyone except BTS when they were the ones who got him his first number 1 since 2008 or 2009. And so Army stopped streaming the remix and it went down from the charts QUICK😌✨
PERIODT ARMY!
I love how you call him angel i do too😂 bts are really amazing😭 they are some of the most genuine and passionate artists ive followed
Haha he’s an literal angel to me! ❤️
This is so funny to me because this is one of the posts “Jimin” makes on the game BTS World. Can’t remember it word for word but he says “Sometimes I’m called angel, sometimes fairy, what do you think?” Then you are given the option of picking angel, fairy or both. LOL
34:34 Giirrrrllll, they've got vlogs, dance practice videos, three movies, three docu-series, a travel series that has 4 seasons, a variety show that is now over a 100 episodes long, and so much more. Army is a well-fed fandom and we get so much content and interaction of the boys. It's awesome. I just hope covid ends soon so we can actually see them in concerts. Performers must feel so sad when they can't perform in front of a live audience.
I couldn't imagine how singers and dancers feel right now not being able to perform.
If u likes Jungkook and Jimin, I want to recommend MMA 2020 blackswan performance💜
And Jimin solo song ‘Serendipity’
A lot of people have. Recommended those! I’ll definitely check them out for sure! ❤️
No offence but black swan performance was not a subunit performance so I find this comment a bit odd..
This presentation leaves out the fact that Park Jimin has a black belt in Taekwondo and studied Kendo (Japanese fencing) for 8 years. I feel that his martial arts training gave him his intense focus and calm, as well as physical strength, flexibility, and sharp isolations, and supports his attitude of kindness and caring. 💜🌿💜
maybe someone has already said everything i'm going to say but i'm still sharing just in case
4:04 this was a bad case but overall rm had been actually really famous in the underground scene. he was literally like 13-15 i think but some older rappers already feared and admired him there. he took a break once to focus on his studies and so many were surprised to learn that he was still in school (might have even been middle school)
They are not just a bunch of talented,hardworking and dedicated young men but they have adorable personality. Love them so much.
Thanks for the react.
BTS has so much talent. Their vocal line songs, their solos, and don't even get me started on their rap line and their solos. This is just the beginning.
And now they're nominated for the 2021 Grammys. Enjoying this journey so far. 💜
“I thought it was today... I forgot it was December” along with her reaction made me DIE 🤣💜
Haha I was shook for a second! I was like man now I gotta react to that too haha 😂💜
Love the reaction. Actually, this was already outdated because BTS almost break records everyday lol. More vids and fighting.
Haha yeah a lot of people are saying that the video was a little outdated due to the boys killing it everyday lol I’ll probably most likely have to watch more information based videos on my own because there’s so many of them and it would take me forever to react to each one on here! ❤️
Just found you today and already love your reactions. I've been an Army since mid 2014. I love BTS not just because they are amazing artist but because they are amazing humans. They deserve to be where they are they have been though so much.💜💜💜
Girll when i was 14 i was watching spongebob and gumball then i found bts suddenly on yt and here i am watching your reaction on bts and feeling so proud 😭💜
Fk this is related to me lol
haha i still watch spongebob at the age of 22 😂
@@02.andritrilaksono93 hahaha
@@caitlinbensonn i think i watched every episode hundreds of times 😂
I know you have received so many recommendations that I’m excited to see your journey. I won’t add to your laundry list, until later down the line. I saw in one of your other videos that you are a music major. So they have just about everything that will keep you hooked. After you’ve run through all the usual top requests, I have a couple that I believe you’d love. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t wait for you to experience Life Goes On, Black Swan, Blood Sweat & Tears, Fire and the rest, too!
I just have a feeling you would be interested in some if the “B-side” songs.
wow love this comment! i think once i get over the shock of them being so good lol i can dive even deeper into them! there's so much to learn and catch so it will take awhile haha but thanks for the encouragement! ❤️
You hit the nail when you said their success was not a hand out. They really shed blood, sweat amd tears for that.
thank you for saying america sucks because as an american i feel the same way. america is the most ignorant & close minded people ever and in american hustle life the boys were treated so badly like i can’t even watch the show without cringing and getting angry.
Yes you’re speaking facts! I hate that they even had to do that to get any footing in America 🙄.... I wish we could just welcome people for who they are!
@@caitlinbensonn me too they didn’t need to come to america to learn “the true ways of hip hop”. america needs to learn how to welcome anyone no matter their background, religion, race, ethnicity etc!
While AHL was cringey and there were a lot of issues, the guys _did_ learn a lot from that experience. Before then, they didn't really know a lot about the true history and bg of hip hop and that was a way from them to learn from some of the OGs about it.
As a black fan it meant a lot to me to see them looking into some of the lyrics and history of how hip hop was used as a tool for black artists to speak about some of the social injustices they faced. In addition to that, you could tell that they still follow some of the advice from the mentors (not the ones like Coolio and Dante) like Iris, Jenny Kita, and the people on Skid row that they met.
So yeah the show was cringy but it wasn't completely and utterly horrible.
@@Etoile_J I agree. Cringy but they learned valuable lessons and maybe that’s why they are the way they are: never taking anything for granted, being humble and definitely giving back (charities, BLM, etc.).
Hi Caitlin......I'm 53 years old and i love BTS! Love your comment by the way
You stated..” I am a proud Mom” I want to tell you I am a proud grandma. I am 64 years old and I found BTS three years ago, watching a rerun of an award show and which BTS performed Fire and I was hooked. Yes, you stated you have so much to react to never has a true statement been made. They have a run series which is set up like games that they play against each other or with each other, they have a series called Call bon voyage where they record their trips and so much more. I forgot to subscribe and your previous reaction which I said I would do so I’m going to do so here. So looking forward to more reactions from you as since you like Suga, I would love to see your reaction to Daechwita, which is done by Suga, I love his rapping in this performance. I promise you you will not be disappointed.
you got it, you understood it, u have a long way to go, but u already are getting it so much,
thank you for getting it
After the release of this documentary BTS already have broken new records with their new album BE released Nov 20th.
Some of them are
BTS BAK (Billboard all kill) on the Billboard Charts:
#1 on Billboard 200
#1 on Billboard Hot 100
#1 on Global 200 Excl. US
#1 on Global Singles 200
#1 on Digital Song Sales Chart
#1 on Artist 100
#1 World Albums
#1 World Digital Song
#1 Top Album Sales

All the 7 songs of BE entered Hot 100 (except skit) and top digital song charts (simultaneously 1-7) - Here they broke a record held by lady gaga.
They became the first Korean act to Top Billboard Hot 100 with a Korean song. First artist in the US music history to do so.
They became the fastest group to generate five #1 albums in the US since the Beatles (1966-1968).
First kpop act to have a Grammy nomination.
Early December they swapped (again) all Daesangs (grand prizes) from both Asian major award shows MMA and MAMA.
Named Entertainers of the year by Time Magazine
Btw, I'm subscribing.
Thank you for the sub! 💜🥺
I'm also subscribing.
PLZ don't forget to ALWAYS turn the captions ON (their lyrics are a huge part of their success💜)...if you wanna cry you should react to "Life goes on" 👉👈😔 i loved your video ;) you seem to be very genuine 💕.
If you don't like something just say it, ARMY loves honest reactors👍.
Thank you! From now on the captions will always be on if I’m doing a song or hearing them talk but this video in particular was done in English by the creator and had many subtitles so I was able to understand most!
I’ll definitely share if I don’t like something. Honestly I didn’t think I would like BTS at all since I don’t listen to that kind of music but they moved me tremendously and I genuinely enjoy them 😊❤️!
@@caitlinbensonn don’t put the caption on it it says auto generate
i love the fact you call Jimin angel
OOof. Wait until you get to BTS (specifically, RM) giving a speech at the UN (2018). It sealed the deal for me. Watch the behind the scenes of the 2018 speech as well:

oh man lol i'll definitely add it to the list! ❤️
Omg girl, get ready. I can tell you're gonna fall in love with them.
Most importantly..
My BTS are good people who are helping millions of people with their music 💜
Actually while watching this, i see you as an army because that's how armys react lol. Btw I'm so happy to see you react to them. Also I'm watching this while our internet connection sucks but i came back to continue because i really love your reaction. Anyways you hear the storyline, if you want a list of story line with links, i can comment it here. Also it's still ongoing until now. Don't pressure yourself to the content. Btw i wish you could react to THIS IS BTS by xceleste because that also helps and will add some knowledge about them as a band. I really want to be with your journey in BTS. I want to help you. Idk i just feel the connection lol. Anyways thank you very much and "YOU NICE KEEP GOING" (This is JIMIN iconic line to himself) Borahae. 💜
Omg wow thank you for the kind words and being so encouraging! I definitely feel that connection too! I’m going to be watching the video you mentioned and the other ones with information on my own time just because there are so many requests for them that I don’t want to get overwhelmed with reacting to them all and can just jump into the music with me watching the videos on my own time! Thank you for joining me on the journey! 🥺😭 I’m so excited! ❤️
I literally smile through the whole video like I was so excited for you lol it reminds me of when I started to stan them
Wow, you have so many accurate insights already--love it!
Come join us down the rabbit hole....
Do need to warn you though...you will cry. Sometimes from laughing so hard, but more often from something that seems to be speaking to the deepest part of who you are.
Haha thank you! I feel myself falling deeper and deeper with every reaction lol honestly if I get an extremely emotional song with amazing lyrics accompanied by Piano I’m done haha ❤️
Jin is really good looking thats why he was scouted by SM ent and Bighit :)
Welcome to BTS world Caitlin, I love watching AUTHENTIC reactions of people who just now discovering The Bangtan boys. Yes, we become and feels like proud parents to them... with every milestones and success... they bring so much joy and happiness to the army’s. The funniest guys ever.😁😁😁😁Looking forward to more reactions.💜
At 50 years of age I became a BTS fan. At 67 I became ARMY. In a few weeks I will be 68 and I will still be with them because I Love and Support BTS unconditionally 💜 ❤️ 💖 💓
BTS Fandom run the gambit of all ages and nationalities.
And going into 2021 BTS and ARMY will continue to increase our family and friendships around the 🌎 world 💚💛🧡❤❣💟💕💞💓💗💖💝💙🤍💜💯%
Don't know if you noticed or not but their first names are said last in South Korea. So 3 of the members surnames are Kim but they are not blood related. So they have their stage names and real first names. Their stage names are Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. And their real first names are Seokjin, Yoongi, Hoseok, Namjoon, Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook. Not to mention all the nicknames they call each other and the names fans call them. LOL. But trust me over time it gets much easier. And if I'm not mistaken I think Jungkook was actually 13 when he joined Bihgit Entertainment. I can't speak for what their fanbase was when they started. But know BTS fans now are all ages, nationalities, races, and genders. Most BTS fans are actually 30's-40's according to a survey. As to why you haven't heard their songs, well because they Korean and sing and rap in Korean plays a major part. They didn't get major radio play until they made their first and only english song. It's basically something you have to seek out yourself because the US sure as hell is not going to promote them properly. But they have been on numerous US talk shows and US award shows. A lot of people just hear the word kpop. steer clear, and never give them a chance. And about the tour being cancelled I feel you. I started to become a fan of BTS in May of 2019 and all I wanted to see BTS live in concert so when I found out about their 2020 tour I was like yes this is my chance. I had tickets (which getting tickets is like the hunger games) to see them in Chicago and then the pandemic happened. You have no idea how mad I was and still am, but there's nothing I can really do about it except be thankful about my families health. Plus I was mad that it was possibly my last chance to see all 7 members tour together for awhile. You see in South Korea military service in mandatory for all males and you have to enlist by 28 and Jin the oldest member turned 28 on December 4. But luckily the South Korea govn't changed the law to allow kpop stars to delay enlistment until age 30 if they've received Korean honorary merit medals which BTS have received. So if Jin accepts the delay we have BTS for another 2 years.
Wow definitely didn’t know that their first names were said last! I feel like even after this video there’s still a ton of information that I’m missing! - woah wait so like the boys have to stop being a band In 2 years due to the military service? 🤯 what if they get super big? They just have to stop all of their success? I wonder how they feel about that.. for me if I were them it would suck because I absolutely love music and to be able to find something that I love with band members that I love like they do and be forced to leave it would break my heart.
Really good reaction! After this you should reaction "this is bts" By xceleste🙏
Thank you! I’m gonna watch this on my own time and not on the channel because there’s been so many request for different information videos and it would take me forever to react to all of them but I will watch this! ❤️
“Wassup Jung”was so funny I’m dieing of laughter lol. This is a great video
You haven't heard of them because American audiences didn't have it on radio airplay because all their songs are mostly in Korean. Idol groups are really focused on how the idol looks, how they act, how they appear in public. Jin is handsome and so are the remaining vocalists, and they need them as front men. Sometimes RM said "let the good looking guys exit first" as they will be the ones photographed first. RM was ridiculed as being too ugly to be an idol , and to this day, when you see his hand over his face, it's to diss his haters as if to say, look where I'm at now! None of them are ugly, and it's all the haters that try to bring them down.
10:20 Jin is soo handsome that before even being in the group foreigners took pics with him on the streets.
10:29 gurrrll ur beautiful
And now Dynamite its nominated in the Grammys!!! 🎉🎊
I’m having so much fun watching this reaction!! I haven’t seen this introduction video before but I’m happy with how it tells their story, and your commentary is very sincere. Thank you
Thank you so much!!! 🥺💜
You should definitely watch the introduction to bts video it's like 26 mins long but it's so worth it because it breaks down each member and tells you more about them you'll love it 💜💜😊😊
like seriously when I was 14, i was only running on the rice field hahahah
I'm rewatching this for like the 4rth time- WAAAH it makes me happy
BTS is truly an underdog story. From the very beginning, no one took them very seriously in the industry. They were considered a joke. If you look at their videos from when they first started to now, the budget obviously wasn't there. They busted their asses off, starved themselves, all to have a shot at their dream. They show that hard work pays off. As for Jungkook, the other members basically raised him. I saw your comment about their fans being "younger" below, why they generally are a younger audience, they also attract older fans too. I'm 50 and I love BTS and I'm totally mad at COVID because I had tickets for the Chicago show. Regarding the story telling, it's definitely in their videos. While you can watch them alone, if you go from beginning to end, you'll see how they're entwined and will begin to notice it is later videos.
Oh, watch BTS Carpool karaoke with James Corden. I know you will LOVE it! ❤️💜
Thank you for reacting to this! Next I would recommend u to react to Bts crash course, which dives deeper into the fandom cause we’re really diverse and not only young people still attending school! It’s amazing, really. As for Music videos, I really think you would enjoy Fake Love and Black Swan! 😊
of course! a lot of people were saying that this video was good but it didn’t get everything right so i'll for sure be looking into that! ❤️
Life goes on went to no. 1 too.👏👏 Love your reaction. Thank you!
Girl!! You do not look ugly as hell, u are beautiful 🤩 Your smile is everything 💕
I liked your reaction. Enjoy the ride of discovering bts and their music. They have songs for every mood. The last album BE is amaziiiiing and Namjoon's mixtape Mono is really special.
If you want to dive more into them I recommend you following them in SoundCloud, weverse app and download vlive app to watch their shows.
Girrrrl, it’s OK to cry!!! I’ve been ARMY for 2 yrs and still cry ON THE REGULAR about their story. 🥺🥺💜💜💜
Oh honey you are a natural Army! Yes damn the covid that cancelled our date with the guys!😑
I love how she calls jimin angel🥺
Omg you’re literally the cutest thing ever🥺🥰💜
awe thank you so much! 😭❤️
I do not regret falling down the rabbit hole of bts I am in love with those amazing humble boys
You don’t only have music to react to... 😂😂 There’s so many funny compilations and tv shows that they do (for example, Run BTS! has over 120 episodes of around 30-45 min)
hey imma recommended you to react for "BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS" and "Fake love" Music videos... It's music video production is totally amazing and impossible... And also have so many meaning that every people can't explain that.... Pls react to that 👍💜💜
of course! it's definitely on the list to react to! ❤️
one thing a bonus for us is that they make DIFFERENT kinds of genres so I dont feel bored of the songs. You feel like listening to different kinds of artists
Welcome to the BU (Bangtan Universe). WARNING, once you begin the fall down the BTS rabbit hole, there its seriously NO WAY OUT! Strap in!!
I think I might be the only person that actually enjoyed and is thankful for American Hustle Life. Don’t get me wrong there’s some tough scenes to watch but the boys were massive Hip Hop fans and only really experienced it from Korea. Sometimes you have to go through tough times to grow and they really learnt a lot in that trip about the music they make and where Hip Hop actually comes from. :)
You’re my new fave reaction channel - subscribed :)
I really do love watching you becoming familiar with the boys :) Their music is just on another level and it doesn't matter which genre you prefer. They are doing it like nobody else :D I'm always happy for new people to discover Bts because they brought me so much happiness :) Once you are a fan they just become a part of you're life.
I hope you enjoy the music and all the other things around that. There is a lot of content to watch, but don't force yourself to rush through it. Just enjoy it and have fun in your own speed
PLS U ARE ALREADY SO DAMN PROUD AND U JUST HEARD ABOUT THEIR STORY (mostly the good things because bts got a LOT hate etc) I CANT WAIT FOR U TOO SEE ALL MEMBER'S UNIQUE PERSONALITIES AND THEIR SONGS AND THE MEANINGS BEHIND THEIR LYRICS
Thank you for reacting and learning about BTS as a group! also. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!! Please don't say u r not.. I love your beautiful eyes btw..
You are so fun as a person. I had a really good time watching you. You are so genuine too. Thank you for giving our boys a chance and let me warn you your life will change for the better afterwards 😂 Keep up the hard work! I just subscribed to your channel and put on my post notifications so I wouldn't miss any BTS reactions!!! I LOVE YOU AND I PURPLE YOU💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much for the sub! I’m so glad you liked it! 💜💜
I love that you called Jimin "Angel" right from the get-go. So intuitive :).
Can i say”welcome to our purple kingdom?”😃💜
I'm really happy you watched this instead of old intro vids. I hope you check other vids too but this is a really great intro to a new fan.
I find it fascinating how quickly you picked up some of BTS defining characteristics. Wow!
Girl, your energy is so refreshing. So happy to be catching up with your journey!
I knew BTS since 2014~2015 but was rather just a chill "fan" enjoying the music but never really had the chance to dive deeper. But with COVID and the time I got off school I found myself watching their funny moments more often then I fell into the BU storyline (BTS Universe) and now I regret not listening to ARMY back in the days and thinking they are just over hyping them because it's the trend. Believe me BTS isn't a trend. They are changing the industry completely. A lot of fans are now only expecting higher quality from other artists as well especially because of what BTS produces. I'm seeing a lot of artists getting inspired and working even harder because they came across BTS (and getting a lot of recognition because of that hard-work).
And most importantly, ARMY, and I'm so proud to call myself an ARMY are trying their best to not only support BTS in their music BUT ALSO rise up to become better people worth being called the fans of such legends.
Welcome to the fandom sweetie ❤️🥰 Buckle up this is gonna be a very exciting journey!
I'm 58 years old and have been an ARMY since 2017. Mic Drop Steve Aoki remix is what hooked me first. I truly love all 7 of them with all my heart.
that's why we love BTS ..😍💜 thanks for reacting this💜
Jin was scouted for his looks. He is the official visual of BTS. Being the visual means you fit the KOREAN BEAUTY STANDARDS and yes he really is good looking.
YOU ARE AMAZING!!! i need to see you experience the world of BTS as soon as possible! 💜
As a slight veteran fangirl of kpop (12ish years), and even as an Exo-L I've always been quite proud of BTS and all they overcame and achieved. It's been fun watching them and other talented groups grab fame and find success. The only downside to Kpop is loving a group and them disbanding due to a company's harsh restrictions and conditions, being pushed past extreme limits, and lack of promotions. Luckily Big Hit spared nothing to push them to the top. The boys and the company both were able to create amazing music and market well. BTS deserves every ounce of fame they got.
I am so entertained by your so cute reactions about BTS , i already heard so much of this stories but you nailed it!! keep it up and expecting more .... of course BTS!
I'm loving your reactions to the boys ❤️❤️❤️ thanks
Psst... JK was 13yrs old in north American years...he was sooo young... 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🇨🇦 absolutely no offense re age... do a search and you will be very surprised at the demograph of the fans ❤ i have turned many of my friends and before my mom passed in May at 82..I turned her into ARMY too lol also if not for covid...we would not have had Dynamite... silver lining... I can't stop adding to my comment... check out sugas (Agusta D) Daechwita... BTS mic drop... omg there is soooo much... enjoy
I’m getting 🍿 popcorn. This gone take a while. When everything is new and amazing, baby army are impressed by every single detail and sentence lol.
I'm very impressed by your reaction. Because your reaction was very real. I became am ARMY in 2014 and I grew with them. They made me a better person. Glad to welcome you to our big family. Btw I'm 28 years old from Europe and saw them 3 times ♡. Very proud :-)
I am so glad I found your channel , thank you for being so kind to our 7 men 💜

So fun to watch your reactions .. I really feel like I'm sharing something special with a friend

And also, Jimin and Taehyung were friends, they studied at the same school LOL
In their first song no more dream Jin the eldest was 20 and jungkook the youngest was 15
It`s only BTs does: talks about real life , life matters on a clever way.
I generally turn off videos of reactors who make too many facial reactions cuz they seem so fake, but your facial reactions cracked me up! (except the ones where you blur yourself cuz they made me dizzy) haha.
You're so cheerful and funny. I love your energy
I'm so thrilled to see you joining ARMY and falling in love with BTS. They definitely struggled coming from a smaller company, and they've worked hard to be where they are. I just wanted to also note your "didn't get any handouts comment." You're totally right about that being BTS's case, but it makes it seem like many other groups haven't worked hard for their success as well. Trainee life in k-pop companies is quite gruelling, and debuting and being successful is actually so so hard for any group, no matter where they come from. Because of how small the domestic market is in Korea, it's really oversaturated with tons of groups, so those that make it and are successful really do have to work hard for it as well. I hope that as you continue this journey, yu can see just how amazing the entire K-Pop world is, and BTS are such an amazing entrance into it! Welcome to ARMY!
OMG Caitlin! I accidentally discovered you & I am totally enjoying your further discovery & learning about BTS with great pride, giggles coz you are funny & as are your affects!
