Yes, BTS are the GOATS of Kpop. That is no knock on other groups. I love TXT, Ateez, Shinee, etc. but BTS is something special. They play in a lot of genres of music, and all seven are super successful soloists on their own.
Not that others artists didn't start KPOP but of all the 1000's of groups produced in S. KOREA, BTS was the one that broke through the glass ceiling, into the U.S. Markets. Many others Groups tried but no one had lasting success in the Western Music Industry. Also, I wish I could post a graph to show you this statistic but. Adding up the top 10 other groups in KOREA, BTS, all by itself, brings in more money. BTS is listed with the Titans of S. Korea such as Samsung & Hyundai. All 7 members are serving S. Korea by serving in the Mandatory Military Service. They will serve for 2 years. Other producers right now are trying so hard to create another BTS while BTS is gone. Before they left, they made music, videos etc to try to keep ARMY occupied while they were away serving their country. Just remember, not everyone who says they are ARMY are actually ARMY, some are pot stirrers trying to get a reaction. Thank you so much for your reaction to BTS.
All BTS members are in military but all have solo music out before they left.RM as a album dropping in 2 weeks.Our Jin will be home in a month .Right. Before there anniversary be 11 years.can't wait for 2025 they all be back.going to massive.I'm 59 and want to see them live for the third time.
I would hazard a guess that most armys aren’t kpop fans and actually listen to other genres of music. There is just something so compelling about their music, the members themselves, their sincerity in their music, work and to their fans and its just overall so fun to watch them together because of their sheer charisma as performers on stage. Also, as a fan for 10 years, its just so heartwarming to see their growth, i will be a fan for life. Apobangpo!
That’s been so awesome to hear that that’s how most of the (Army) is. I myself listen to all genres of music!! I’m excited to go on this journey!! Thank you for your support!!
75 year old Army here. Think I am going to like your channel. You were really listening and it was nice to see how your face revealed your joy in the discovery. Wishing you all the best on this journey.
There is a saying that BTS finds you when you need them most. There are so many ARMYs that have been helped by these 7 amazing men. Myself being one. Im 41 and a proud ARMY for life.
I, too, found BTS when I needed them the most. I’m 50 years old & enlisted in the BTS ARMY in 2020 during the pandemic & the year that my husband & I became empty nesters…it was the most difficult moment in my life & BTS, yes, BTS, all seven of these young men- Namjoon (RM), Seokjin (Jin), Yoongi (Suga/Agust D), Hoseok (Jhope), Jimin, Taehyung (V), and Jungkook helped me through the loneliness of not having my 2 boys around. I owe them so much! The respect I have for them as legitimate world class artists all seven of them, and how they stay humble, dedicated, & loyal to their craft & to the ARMY, is unmatched! ApoBangpo 💜
52 years, a proud and grateful Army since two years. They really saved me and still give me strength and joy every single day, to know them have made me a better person and build me up - they are unique in their talent and Charakter and a model role for many I cannot thank them enough 💜
In fact, most ARMYs are not fans of K-pop, but fans of good music. I personally listen to quite a variety of music, but mostly rock and metal. Basically, to me, BTS is the exact opposite of what K-pop is as a whole. It's an industry that creates idols for money... BTS creates art that touches the minds and souls of millions of people. Regarding making similar type of videos about the history of bands - these are made by fans. BTS have a huge amount of content on the web, precisely because they were not allowed in variety shows on Korean channels, later competing companies saw that this was successful in creating a connection between fans and groups. This is purposeful and apparently the money-hungry industry does not understand that this is a natural process and you can always tell when someone is being sincere and honest and when it is being artificial. Maybe sometime in the future there will be a "next BTS"...but in my opinion the probability of that happening is close to 0.. You can see the Boracity magazine's video to better understand: ruclips.net/video/tU5S7c4X69w/видео.html
Wow awesome comment!! I myself love music in general and it doesn’t matter the genre or artist just is it good music and does it move me! I look forward to learning more about BTS and all the struggles and successes they experienced along the way!! Thank you for your support!!
very well said ARMY sister. Korean and even the Western industry has tried to replicate the BTS formula. Even Bighit and Bang Si Hyuk cant do it. i also listen to a lot of music genres with both parents in the music industry and performance arts myself. there is something different about BTS. Music wise, performance wise, theyre just different. they dont even have to have those high energy, extremely difficult performance and they can still outperform others. the only conclusion i can come up with is that theyre genuine, sincerity in sharing their music to ARMY is what makes the difference. And then there's their personality, camaraderie, brotherhood, love and respect for each other... i can go on and on
I'm a 59yo Army and listen to mostly metal, rage, Korn SOAD.. But after finding them in 2019, I dove in and haven't looked back💜 I also am a stay ❤️ and a czennie 💚 but I'll always be Army first💜💜💜💜
BTS have 5 time's grammy nominations and have performed at the Grammy (scammies) more than once. Oh and they now have over 1,000 awards and 31 Guinness Book World Records
Hello, I'm a 47-year-old Brazilian ARMY. Thank you for your reaction to our boys! I must tell you that it is very common to hear reports of people describing how they “found” BTS in their lives, how important it was, how much they needed them and everything they represented, even when these people didn't even know they needed them. I am part of that large group of fans who discovered support, help or support in some way through their music, messages, struggles and achievements. I was widowed after a relationship of almost 23 years and was going through a depressive process. I don't have children and my husband represented everything to me, he was my friend, my lover, my love, my father, my brother... truly a companion. I can't talk about important moments in my life in which he wasn't a part and his absence left a huge void. I found myself completely lost and disoriented, as if the best part of me had also died with him. By chance, to distract me, my mother (who was already a fan) showed me a performance from one of BTS's shows. I don't know how to explain it exactly, but all that energy touched my heart. From that moment on, every time I listened to his music or watched his videos, I somehow connected and identified with his messages. BTS became a kind of model of optimism for me, giving me strength and love. I believe that the group's fighting trajectory contributed profoundly to their growth, the construction of what they are today and the connection they have with their ARMYs. These boys are not perfect nor do they pretend to be, but they are extremely talented and determined human beings, who give us examples every day of humility, charity, attention, dedication and love for others. They are my daily dose of joy and encouragement, true angels on Earth! I love all 7 of them, I thrive on their achievements and I share their joys and sadness. Sorry for the long comment. I will follow your journey with BTS. And get ready because we're still going to laugh and cry a lot. We will be together. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
It is amazing that in a time of need they were able to give you a glimpse of happiness and a light at the ends of a dark tunnel! Sorry for your loss and no words can change how you feel! Thank you for coming along on this journey with me and I look forward to your assistance with my journey! Thank you for your support!!
@@RRREAD_TV Thank you for the thoughtful words. We will definitely be together on this wonderful journey. I will help in any way I can. And the ARMY is also always ready to help and guide you on this journey. This fandon is a family willing to embrace everyone in need. 💜
The visibility kpop now has in US and the world is thanks to bts , because of them there are kpop nominations, American shows invite kpop groups for interviews, shops with kpop albums exist . Many content kpop groups do now cause bts did that first, so it’s like success formula for them, like sns twitter/instagram/etc, doing livestreams with fans, their own variety shows , reactions to mvs , pushing for the same awards bts had to grasp a bit of bts popularity, making same concepts for music as bts (meaningful one) and many more
Yes! There is a great video by Boracity Magazine channel called "Trends that BTS have created" when it comes to kpop. It's kinda funny to me cuz BTS did a lot of these things do to necessity, they weren't able to go on Korean tv shows or when they were they were treated awful (it's mostly to do with the monopoly the big 3 kpop companies YG, SM, & JYP have on the entertainment industry. They have a lot of money & power especially cuz some even own the TV stations themselves). They had to find alternative ways to reach people cuz they couldn't go through the traditional ways other kpop idols could. Psy who many know from the song "Gangnam Style" himself said they were one of the few kpop groups to release MV's with the English Subtitles and that inspired him to add Eng Subs on his MV's too. I find it funny that BTS became the most well known kpop group in the world when they are a huge anomaly in the Kpop industry for various reasons, they had complete creative control of their own music from the very beginning. Now because of BTS' success other companies are starting to loosen their reigns of control & allow their groups to participate more in their own music so the industry is changing but sadly a few of those companies did it cuz they think there is a secret formula for BTS' success so they try to emulate that. I don't think those companies realize most people that became fans of BTS it had nothing to do with them being a "Kpop group" or in the kpop industry and everything to do with them being very sincere talented human beings. I came from the general public I'm not a kpop fan I was a hard rock and metal fan before I found BTS. I became army because BTS are genuine music lovers of multiple genres and they are the most humble caring people. We army support charities and giving back to the world because BTS has lead us by example, they have shown us how rewarding spreading love & positively to the world can be. I think BTS are a once in a lifetime group.
Yes, all members of BTS are in the military. It's mandatory for all able bodied Korean men in their country. We absolutely miss them, but they've blessed us with so much amazing contents even while they're serving. Jin (eldest member) will be returning home next month!! June 12th to be exact! 😱😭💜
@RRREAD_TV They're very proud Korean men, so they definitely went when duty called. So proud of them and can't wait when they reconvene in 2025. Welcome to BTS x ARMY global family. #ARMYsince2014 💜
53yr old Army. Loved your reaction and BTS paved the way across the world opening the door for the rest of the Kpop groups. I fell in love with the poetry and art in the music. I look forward to seeing you go down this BTS rabbit hole. I purple you 💜💜💜💜 from Cape Town South Africa
I am not really a TXT fan (I do like a few songs) but this song is one of my favorites!! I didn’t know RM had a hand in writing it for a while, but now makes sense.
"Honestly, I got to know about K-pop because of BTS. I heard one of their songs on the radio while driving back home, and it became a rabbit hole for me. Since then, I've been stanning them, and now I'm an ARMY. By the way, I like your respectful reaction towards them."
When ARMY were doing the Name chant it was at the beginning of their Song Mic Drop which is a total Disc Track to all their Haters. Our BTS men are not afraid to come back at the 'Haters' through their music they do what Rapper's Do, they come back at them with their art. ARMY singing to BTS at Wembley Stadium as a ARMY was very emotional as I was there singing at the top of my voice.
You definitely won't regret going down the BTS rabbit hole. They're talented, fun, super funny, and very kind. I've always been a fan of rock and metal bands, but I found BTS in 2020 and haven't looked back. I love them and everything they stand for, and I can't wait for them to come back as a group. There's *so much* to check out from them, you definitely won't run out. Four years in and I still find stuff I haven't seen all the time.
BTS are pretty much their own genre and not a typical "kpop" group. There are other really great groups and artists in Korean, but absolutely none of them have a discography as vast as BTS or have accomplished what BTS have. They have set multiple records for music, period, not just in the kpop industry. They are also 5 time Grammy Nominees.
Look I agree that bts are their own and are a unique group but bts aren’t the only group to have a lot of genres many kpop groups do to (some even more than bts) plz don’t take this as hate im a bts fan aswell
I'm going to comment as I watch, with some updates and some clarifications and attempting to answer any questions: 2:28 They have far more awards now. They are now standing at 1,175 physical awards and are now the most awarded artists of all time. Not Korean, or Kpop artists, but Global. As soloists, they also have a lot of awards. Currently, 343 awards between them all, but I expect that count to rise shortly from j-hope's recent album and RM's upcoming album. They have 12 solo albums among members (about to be 13 when RM drops his new album this month) and 20 albums as a group, plus many collabs, OSTs, singles and covers. Their discography is very deep, over 600 songs if you include all the collabs with other artists on their other artists albums. They also have their own variety show, travel shows, Suga has an interview show, they have documentaries, concert films, vlogs, livestreams, webtoons, short films, books, and more. Exploring BTS is a whole world in a rabbit hole, like falling into Wonderland, and they are the biggest group in the world. Their competition are the likes of Drake, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, etc. They are top of the charts, both as a group and as soloists. They top the charts in over 130 countries. Their global appeal is due to a lot of factors, but their crazy musical diversity and mind-blowing talent levels are chief among them. Enjoy the ride! 3:12 They in fact swept all the major awards at both the MMAs and the MAMAs year, after year, after year. It was a shutout. In 2022 the MAMAs made a new category of award for them called The Platinum Award and called them The Greatest of All Time. 4:08 Just for context on how small they started. Their company, Big Hit, was broke. They lacked money to properly promote them and so they did some unconventional and unorthodox things, like take to social media pretty much unedited and totally on their own terms. The boys uploaded themselves, vlogging, blogging and uploading free music, which no KPop groups did at that time. This opened them to an international fanbase from the start, which helped them overcome the crazy amount of industry shutout and abuse they suffered at home as being upstarts who didn't know their place. Big Hit had just ten full and part time employees and rented offices in a shared office building. They were mortgaged to their eyeballs and BTS was their only group. The had never trained a group before and had to cobble together a training support system, with a rented basement for dance practice and a leaky, moldy and bug infested apartment to house the boys. BTS are honest, genuine good people, and real artists, writing and producing their own music, which is still a rarity in KPop. TXT are their junior group (the only other group at Big Hit) and BTS has written and produced for and mentored them, as well as helping to develop the training used for TXT. Their prodeucer, Mr Bang really wanted to revolutionize the music industry and bring the voice and art of the artists to the forefront. So that is what he did with BTS. Big Hit's motto is Music and Artists for Healing and BTS has a self-imposed mission to bring love and healing to the world through their music. Big Hit started tiny, but are now bigger than the other biggest three (previous Big Three) Kpop labels COMBINED. BTS is bigger than the whole of KPop. Hybe is their new legal umbrella company (the house that BTS built) and there are many smaller labels under Hybe that they acquired or made, including Big Hit, in a grape cluster structure. BTS all own stock and are voting shareholders of Hybe. Even with all of them away on hiatus while they serve their mandatory military service in S Korea, they are still more than 60% of Hybe's total income. When they are active, they are more than 80% of Hybe's income by themselves. 6:08 The privilege of the single bed went to eldest brother Jin, whom you can see sleeping in the bed in that shot. 13:35 FYI - Most iTunes #1s means #1 in the most countries. Every country has their own chart. So that means something in the range of #1 in more than 130 countries. 13:58 This part where he is talking about lyric writing he is talking about a TXT song he wrote for them. 28:00 BTS were the first to do a storyline of this type. The depth and complexity of their story and the real-world relatability and heavy topics of the subject matter is really unique. Basically, everyone in KPop copies or follows trends BTS started. There are lots of videos on trends BTS started if you want to know more about that. So there are other groups now with storylines or just themes that have some story elements to them. The state of KPop today is largely because of them. But TXT are their little brother group at the same label, so of course they also borrow some ideas or inspiration, but make them their own. 28:20 Imagine scouting him off a bus for his looks and then he sings like this! There are so many crazy happenstance and "what are the odds?" moments in their story. The boys say they think it was fate that brought them together. It's just too crazy a story. This intro doesn't even go into much of it. 38:43 You said Maknae exactly right. 45:55 You also said Borahae correctly, except don't put so much emphasis on the a. It's Bora-hae. It's a mashup of the words for purple and you. So "Purple You/I Purple You." Absolutely the GOATs of KPop, but also of Korean music and of vocal groups globally, period. They are by far the biggest thing to ever come out of S Korea. They rival Hyundai in profit. With one concert, they brought more revenue into S Korea than the Pyongyang Winter Olympics did in 2018. They sell out the biggest stadiums in the world in minutes, all over the world. S Korea put them on their postage stamps - a first for a living artist. They have well over 100 million fans globally.
BTS is a legacy. It's already a miracle we live the same era as they do. I recommend ROOM LIVE FESTA 2021. It's a live medley of their songs so i think it's a nice go to.
Yes, BTS were really the first to jump onto social media marketing, out of sheer necessity since the industry in Korea pretty much shut them down. They were the first to have a Twitter account, started the trend for variety shows, etc. Now it is very common and pretty much everyone does it.
Sometimes you have to take things into your own hands and just jump!! Not everyone’s journey is the same and sometimes you have to try what may be uncomfortable or different but the results could be life changing!! Thank you for your support!!
I was proudly a part of the Txt baby shower on Twitter when we (ARMY) found out BTS were going to be big brothers 😂 and if I remember correctly Morse code was a part of txt debut and ARMY deciphered it in 4 minutes lmao, we were excited
That is amazing!! I hope you all will help guide me in my BTS journey and inform me in the facts whether big or small I enjoy learning more!! Thank you for your support!!
@@RRREAD_TV it's a totally unchoreographed bit of delightful fun. You not only see them perform but see their goofy personalities that makes their reality footage like RUN BTS episodes so much fun.
@@RRREAD_TV TXT is an extension of BTS' legacy just like every HYBE group is. I respect them all solely based on that even if I don't listen to all HYBE groups music or care about the corporation itself.
Thank you so much for your awesome reaction to BTS! Definitely appreciate it! They are a group full of layers the depth of their musicality and performance is truly phenomenal. I honestly didn't even know about BTS till I saw a fan cam of V "Boys With Luv"on Instagram I couldn't believe what I was seeing it was truly incredible to me I watched it many times because we all know V's stage presence is off the charts. But that is what caused me to check into the entire group of BTS and that's when I realized just how talented they all truly were. That was back in 2018 and I'm still here. Sure appreciate the time and interest you put into this video.
I liked your comment. They know who he is. True. BTS respect each other. They worked hard to get there but their company president ( there were only 10 people in the company when they started) said. They, BTS, love each other fiercely!
You can see the love and respect they have for one another!! Their bond is something that makes you want to cheer for them!! Thank you for your support!!
If you want you can start with some TXT and BTS are family videos or the Suchwita episode with Yeonjun and Taehyun. Suchwita is a drinking talk show by Suga hosting. Yeonjun and Taehyun went there as guests.. i It is a very good and funny episode.
Since you like TXT as well: Suga of BTS has a yt talk show called Suchwita and he had a couple of the members of TXT as guests in one episode. It was really entertaining. I think you'll enjoy reacting to it 😊
Currently BTS has around 1000 awards and counting. Today all members speak English and Japanese. Jin spends his life eating to help Armys with eating disorders. Jung Kook was 13 years old when he became a trainee. He came to Seoul on April 24, 2011. Age in Korea is calculated considering pregnancy as the period of life. Therefore, in Global age JK was 13 years old and in Korean age he was 14.As shown in the behind-the-scenes of Dope's MV. I recommend everyone to watch the documentary made by army The Rise of BangtamPlease also watch the explanatory video about the difficulties that BTS faced in the Korean and global
Jimin and jungkook got there solo songs to billboard 100 as nr 1 , Jungkook Seven ft Latto is still breaking records, his solo 3 D ft Jack Harlow and remix whid Justin timberlake and Standing Next To You and the remix whid Usher
The story line is a bighit thing. BTS were really broke in 2015. So they had to be creative to the maximum or they knew they weren't gonna survive in the industry. BTS tried everything and anything to b3 creative. So in 2015 for their The Most Beautiful Moment in Life album series they decided to create a storyline for their music videos. It kept running till the love Yourself era music videos in 2018 and a little bit into the Mots physical album contents.
I love the fact that you're genuinely interested and is very attentive to the guide. A lot of reactors would usually do BTS for the views (because Army do come in force) but I can actually feel your interest in them. You got a sub from me and I hope to see more Bangtans! 💜
New subscriber, 53 years old Army (from Romania).... it's a pleasure every time we see smiles when anyone looking and listen to them...thank you for your reaction....hope you will enjoy BTS world, they are not just artists for us, they are family 💜💜🇹🇩
@@RRREAD_TV supressed by the old school music industry BTS went bigger every year at award shows to let everybody see what they could do, ... until covid. Now award shows limit BTS time wise and set wise, because who would want to follow them, how demoralising. So if you want to see an award show performance that out does a super bowl half time ( BTS paid for the sets as just hiring that amount of huge led screens would have cost multi millions and let's not talk about unnecessary circe de soleil stuff lazers and who knows what) MMA 2019 is it. They change the sets or clothes and you are kept entertained by spectacle. A must see. A performance extravaganza by the Kings of live performance.
the story that rus with the music videos its a bighit thing; others agencies have a concept or universe but i personally think that txt and bts story is more complex than others
@@RRREAD_TV There's actually a K-Drama airing right now that revolves aroung the BTS Universe called "BEGINS ≠ YOUTH".. it's a 12 episodes show, with the last four episodes airing on May 14th..
Since you’re interested in learning more about K-pop in general as well as BTS I’d recommend the Rise of Bangtan series. It’s a fan-made documentary you can find on RUclips. Gives a bit about K-pop history and shows how BTS’s training/upcoming was different from general K-pop.
Hi dear. 68yo ARMY here. I'm so glad I found you. You have such a warm, inviting presence. I felt like I was sitting on my couch with my good friend watching the BTS guide. But anyway hurry back sweet dear.💜
That’s awesome! My goal is always to be as inviting and authentic as I can be and to know that is how you felt is amazing to know! Thank you for your support!!
Living legends and King of K Pop. TXT is not the big brother of BTS. It's the other way around. BTS is the big brothers to TXT. Welcome to the BTS rabbit hole. Borahae 🇺🇸🫰💜💜💜💜💜
Yes, they are the GOAT! I’m confident you’ll really enjoy the experience if you continue learning more about BTS - there is about 11 years of both group and solo efforts to explore. ARMY is happy to follow your journey with you. Have fun! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The relationship between BTS and TXT is so lovely. RM is also close to TXT's leader Soobin and has helped him out a lot by giving him advice on how to lead his group. TXT's Taehyun is close to Jimin Suga and J-hope!
Well they didn't, actually live together for 8 years that is just the narrative that was told by the company. Taehyung & Jungkook stopped living with the others around the end of 2019, Older Army's know this, it was picked up from one of the bon voyage videos that Taehyung & Jungkook were not staying in the rooms they said they were. This is why older Army's do not recommend Taylor's video as she presents the companies narrative rather than the facts, older Armies recommends Xceleste videos, especially the BTS Hardships one.
@@pamelakrause9311 well the trouble is we actually non of us know for sure. There is alot of taking two and two together to make five.Then everybody accepting that as a truth. A lot of wish fulfillment going on. people accept clues that point to a narrative they desire. Assume continuity in what might have been true for a specific period of time of unknown duration. . V also said he and Jungkook were no longer as close as they used to be. A separate conversation with Jimin revealed he had tried to mend the unexplained distance between them. So he might have succeeded but then again V did not know Jungkook was putting out a full album( evidence Suchwita episode). The 8 years comment was from a conversation between members. Not a press release. Life is fluid we move in and out depending on work and private lives. We actually do not know. Perhaps that is good. We really do not have the right to know. However I repeated that conversational titbit because it indicates a choice to extend living together beyond the norm. When you think about it, it makes sense. Security would be cheaper. ( given all the death threats). They definately laugh when together which is a great stress relief etc. They all say they miss each other. That is undeniable.
@@pamelakrause9311they started living together from 2011 'till 2019 that makes it 8 years , so I don't know what "narrative" are you yapping about . They continued to have the house they used to live but ended up selling it around 2020-2021
@@pamelakrause9311 lmao what fantasy world u live in lol Bts have said numerous time that they lived together up until 2021..did you not pay attention to their festa dinner or any other interview where they said it themselves
I’m 59 year old Army! As well as MOA! Going to see TXT in Houston on my Birthday! So excited! Theirs also another group that’s younger than TXT. Enphyen they were formed on a show called Island! Both BTS and TXT were there at the finale! This was during Covid! Now Enphyen is touring regularly here! I’m also a fan of Shinee , Astro, Got7, CMBLUE, The Rose! You’ll hear the term Bias! A lot of people pick one member as their favorite! I can’t choose between the Boys so I’m 0T7. All Seven!! But out of all the groups I love and Support BTS so my Bias!!
That’s awesome you’re going to see TXT!! Deja Vu was amazing and I know there going have great shows so enjoy!! As for the other groups I’ve heard and wrote down to check out at a later time but as you see I’m taking it one group at a time! Thank you for your support!!
I think it’s great to see some stuff from the early days and witness how they evolved. Some of the early MVs didn’t have English subtitles, but there are channels that have added them. Start with their debut 2013/2014 school trilogy: No More Dream We Are Bulletproof pt2 N.O. Boy In Love Just One Day Danger War of Hormone Then you’ll be able to move on to a huge growth era for them, 2016 onwards, when they were really becoming epic in the world scene 💜
@@RRREAD_TV Their messaging and lyrics are vital. If you go off their official channel their 1st 2 MV don't have subs but these ones do: ruclips.net/video/dbOP0QotOZE/видео.htmlsi=4nVAkiuOtNmF832W (No More Dream) ruclips.net/video/sdTyZcXFDfc/видео.htmlsi=EPHW3rxYTDATGcNg (We are Bulletproof pt.2)
Hi, welcome. Glad you checked out the guide first, it's a good place to start. You did great with the names, thank you for recognizing their individual talents, each one is very gifted but together they are amazing. You had mentioned a desire to go back to their beginning. The first is “2 cool 4 skool”, for this LP they have two MV's and dance practices, I highly encourage a full listen to the whole album. I look forward to watching your journey. Have a great day.💜
there'S so many things to be said about BTS. theyre indeed the GOAT of Kpop and certainly paved the way for the other groups. not saying theyre the first in everything but they certainly influenced most of the other group in so many ways. as someone new to BTS and ARMY, pls also expect that there'll be some not so friendly feedback and some toxicity. theyre a small part of ARMY..some may be real ARMYs but some are really socmed tactics from who knows who. the KPOP world can really be toxic at times. Welcome to our purple world. ARMYs are really helpful and will guide you. Borahae. Pls enjoy your journey.
Toxic people can only bring you down if you let them! Kill them with kindness and move along! I’m excited to learn more about BTS! Thank you for the heads up and Thank you for your support!!
I 💜 to see your thoughtful reaction! I am excited to watch your journey into their music! I have literally never heard a song of theirs I didn't love! They are truly special men! I am a fan of other Kpop groups, but these guys are on another level!💫💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💫
I loved your reaction and I can’t wait for you to react to their music. There is so much to look forward too. Also if you liked TXT at Lollapalooza then you will love J-Hope at Lollapalooza. I’m hoping in the future you will react to that too. 💜
I was surprised to see you on my feed. I checked your channel & u havent reacted to any of their stuff, just a blind reaction to the guide. And you're amazing!
I BTS,il gruppo più amato in ogniangolo del mondo! 7 personalità uniche,irripetibili e non replicabili! Lasciati accogliere dlla tana del bianconiglio, sarà un'esperienza che non potrai dimenticare! ( I'm an italian silver Army......66year old😊) 💜💜💜💜Army Forever
Thank you for this reaction! Pls watch the new guide that dropped yesterday. It's called 'a long and helpful guide to bts (2024)' by purple snow. There is a lot of updated info in that one.
The fact that BTS are the ones who made K-pop cannot be denied ,I don't mean any offense, I respect all the teams, but BTS is the strongest in my opinion.
The only BTS' siblings that ARMY recognises are Lee Hyun (elder brother. A soloist) and TXT (younger brother group). Btw, loved your reaction. You did amazing taking in the information. It would be lovely if you could do FULL album-wise reactions. then adding solo stuffs of that era, variety show: Run BTS..... so on. HOWEVER YOUR'S IS THE FINAL DECISION. Thank you
14:05 funny anecdote since you started with txt, here RM was actually breaking down the writing process to TXT's song 0x1=lovesong, which he wrote a big chunk of!
“So BTS got a couple guys that can low key kick yo @ss.” 🤣🤣 Basically. They wouldn’t though cause they’re too nice and respectful lol. I would venture to say they are the GOAT. There are plenty of good groups out there, but there is something special with BTS. They are a family and we are like very distant cousins. 🤣 I’ve never encountered a group so close with their fans. And their music is usually very meaningful which is hard to find these days. Loved your reaction! I’m going to enjoy watching your trip down the rabbit hole. 😁💜💜💜
The loved eatchother like brothers and the all lived together for 9-10 years in a dorm. the now have there own apartments but 4 off theme live whidin 5 min from eatchother. All members are in the mandatory military now, so in 2023 all members did solo songs or album. The oldest member Jin come out 12 june next month and J-hope come out in October and the rest 5 members in 2025 june. So Bts will be back as a group then
A couple of groups had a story line idea with their groups, but BTS was the first one to have a successful one that resonated with people in a meaningful way and made it a go-to for many new groups to incorporate one. Since they make their own music and craft the albums as a story unto itself, the rhythm of story is infused into their music as a whole and lends itself to that format.
Welcome to the ARMY, new recruit! This was such a fun watch. I can't wait to see you dive into their music soon! I don't really know your taste in music yet but I felt like you enjoyed the rap a lot so I'll recommend Mic Drop for now. Don't be too hard on yourself with the names! It took me a while to remember the names and faces and put them together, but you'll get there eventually. Borahae! 💜
There is a long series called "The Rise of Bangtan" that is very good. You learn about BTS from the beginning, but the early episodes is also good at introducing you to the world of K-pop.
RM the most talented rapper, composer, songwriter, producer and human being ,every song he does has a different story and different emotions!! Please react to his album indigo while we wait for his next one Right Place Wrong Person on May 24 ,you will not be disappointed
BTS is what got me into Kpop and I enjoy all different genres. I appreciate them still to this day, but will say that I like many different groups. BTS has set the bar high for what I expect to see
Thank you for your reaction,i liked it a lot. I really appreciate how you paid attention to the whole video. Looking forward to your next BTS reactions 💜
You can use JK for short for Jungkook, the BTS members also call him that. BTS in order of age, birth year: 1992 Jin 1993 SUGA 1994 j-hope & RM 1995 Jimin & V 1997 JK
Please react to more BTS :) A couple good videos to react to first would be Festa Live 2021 & BTS Tiny Desk Concert Some of my fav songs by them are: Dynamite, Paradise, Love Maze live, Letter Dear Army Live-Jimin (English Subs), Like Crazy-Jimin, Face Off-Jimin, Ddaeng, Silver Spoon dance practice, Daydream MV Jhope, Lock/Unlock Dance Video-Jhope, Fake Love, Black Swan, Life Goes On, Mic Drop Dance Practice, Winter Bear-V, Rainy Days-V, So Far Away-Agust D(Suga), Amygdala-Agust D, Moonchild-RM, Wildflower-RM, I don’t Know-Jhope, Still With You-Jungkook, Please don’t change-Jungkook, The Astronaut-Jin
Thanks for your reaction and genuine interest! BTS is my first and only kpop group. I say that knowing that BTS has long transcended the world of kpop. As you go down your BTS journey, you will find there is no other group like them. I appreciate you digging into their background and getting to know each of their personalities. Yes, they are incredible musicians, producers, and dancers. Make sure to check out their dance practices and live performances! Dive deep into the lyrics of the songs because they are amazing lyricists! To date, BTS has received many more awards as a band and as soloists but what sets them apart from other groups is their long standing love for and mutual relationship with ARMY. I recommend watching Xcelete's "BTS Hardships 2013-2021" video so you can see why ARMY is very protective of BTS. Since Jimin's birthday is coming up on Oct 13th, I recommend watching "Park Jimin Introduction 2024" by TheJiminVideos. You will often hear/see "BTS Paved The Way" because it's true!
Welcome to the rabbit hole! This video is a great way to understand why ARMY is so passionate about these boys... they're so decent, genuine, and love us as much as we love them. Looking forward to seeing more of your reactions! Borahae! 💜
Yes, BTS are the GOATS of Kpop. That is no knock on other groups. I love TXT, Ateez, Shinee, etc. but BTS is something special. They play in a lot of genres of music, and all seven are super successful soloists on their own.
I am excited to learn more and to explore all there is about BTS! Thank you for your support!!
Not that others artists didn't start KPOP but of all the 1000's of groups produced in S. KOREA, BTS was the one that broke through the glass ceiling, into the U.S. Markets. Many others Groups tried but no one had lasting success in the Western Music Industry. Also, I wish I could post a graph to show you this statistic but. Adding up the top 10 other groups in KOREA, BTS, all by itself, brings in more money. BTS is listed with the Titans of S. Korea such as Samsung & Hyundai. All 7 members are serving S. Korea by serving in the Mandatory Military Service. They will serve for 2 years. Other producers right now are trying so hard to create another BTS while BTS is gone. Before they left, they made music, videos etc to try to keep ARMY occupied while they were away serving their country. Just remember, not everyone who says they are ARMY are actually ARMY, some are pot stirrers trying to get a reaction. Thank you so much for your reaction to BTS.
That is incredible!! So cool to see their dedication to their fans(ARMY). Thank you for your support!!
Jin returns next month, he returns days before BTS's 11th anniversary.
Fortunately these days they only serve 18 months but SUGA has to do 20 months because he’s doing Public Service due to his shoulder injury.
I truly believe that these 7 young men were meant to be in this group together.It’s fate.
Thank you for your support!!
They aren't just the biggest group with the Kpop Industry they are the biggest Global Group the only Group in the Top 10 Global Artist List.
That’s incredible!! Thank you for your support!!
All BTS members are in military but all have solo music out before they left.RM as a album dropping in 2 weeks.Our Jin will be home in a month .Right. Before there anniversary be 11 years.can't wait for 2025 they all be back.going to massive.I'm 59 and want to see them live for the third time.
Wow that is just insane to me still! Thank you for your support!!
BTS are living legends, there are many good groups, but BTS is simply different, they have something special that touches the heart. 💜
I’m excited to learn more!! Thank you for your support!!
I would hazard a guess that most armys aren’t kpop fans and actually listen to other genres of music. There is just something so compelling about their music, the members themselves, their sincerity in their music, work and to their fans and its just overall so fun to watch them together because of their sheer charisma as performers on stage. Also, as a fan for 10 years, its just so heartwarming to see their growth, i will be a fan for life. Apobangpo!
That’s been so awesome to hear that that’s how most of the (Army) is. I myself listen to all genres of music!! I’m excited to go on this journey!! Thank you for your support!!
That is it. Exactly.
The kings of kpop👑 they have more than 1000 awards now
Excited to explore more!! Thank you for your support!!
BTS is now the most awarded musical group in history. They surpassed Michael Jackson this month. Awards for solo members is not counted in this total.
BTS are basically the GOATs of kpop and the ones that paved the way for its globalization
I’m excited to learn more!! Thank you for your support!!
75 year old Army here. Think I am going to like your channel. You were really listening and it was nice to see how your face revealed your joy in the discovery. Wishing you all the best on this journey.
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for your support!!
There is a saying that BTS finds you when you need them most.
There are so many ARMYs that have been helped by these 7 amazing men. Myself being one.
Im 41 and a proud ARMY for life.
That’s amazing!! Thank you for your support!!
You are right. They brought the joy back to my life. I'm a 70 yo army
I, too, found BTS when I needed them the most. I’m 50 years old & enlisted in the BTS ARMY in 2020 during the pandemic & the year that my husband & I became empty nesters…it was the most difficult moment in my life & BTS, yes, BTS, all seven of these young men- Namjoon (RM), Seokjin (Jin), Yoongi (Suga/Agust D), Hoseok (Jhope), Jimin, Taehyung (V), and Jungkook helped me through the loneliness of not having my 2 boys around. I owe them so much! The respect I have for them as legitimate world class artists all seven of them, and how they stay humble, dedicated, & loyal to their craft & to the ARMY, is unmatched! ApoBangpo 💜
@@DianeBures My life also.....I finally started to smile again
52 years, a proud and grateful Army since two years. They really saved me and still give me strength and joy every single day, to know them have made me a better person and build me up - they are unique in their talent and Charakter and a model role for many
I cannot thank them enough 💜
In fact, most ARMYs are not fans of K-pop, but fans of good music. I personally listen to quite a variety of music, but mostly rock and metal. Basically, to me, BTS is the exact opposite of what K-pop is as a whole. It's an industry that creates idols for money... BTS creates art that touches the minds and souls of millions of people. Regarding making similar type of videos about the history of bands - these are made by fans. BTS have a huge amount of content on the web, precisely because they were not allowed in variety shows on Korean channels, later competing companies saw that this was successful in creating a connection between fans and groups. This is purposeful and apparently the money-hungry industry does not understand that this is a natural process and you can always tell when someone is being sincere and honest and when it is being artificial. Maybe sometime in the future there will be a "next BTS"...but in my opinion the probability of that happening is close to 0.. You can see the Boracity magazine's video to better understand: ruclips.net/video/tU5S7c4X69w/видео.html
Well said Ami
Wow awesome comment!! I myself love music in general and it doesn’t matter the genre or artist just is it good music and does it move me! I look forward to learning more about BTS and all the struggles and successes they experienced along the way!! Thank you for your support!!
very well said ARMY sister. Korean and even the Western industry has tried to replicate the BTS formula. Even Bighit and Bang Si Hyuk cant do it. i also listen to a lot of music genres with both parents in the music industry and performance arts myself. there is something different about BTS. Music wise, performance wise, theyre just different. they dont even have to have those high energy, extremely difficult performance and they can still outperform others. the only conclusion i can come up with is that theyre genuine, sincerity in sharing their music to ARMY is what makes the difference. And then there's their personality, camaraderie, brotherhood, love and respect for each other... i can go on and on
I'm a 59yo Army and listen to mostly metal, rage, Korn SOAD.. But after finding them in 2019, I dove in and haven't looked back💜 I also am a stay ❤️ and a czennie 💚 but I'll always be Army first💜💜💜💜
Me senti tan identificada con tu comentario. realmente BTS es el unico grupo de kpop que escuchó 💜
BTS have 5 time's grammy nominations and have performed at the Grammy (scammies) more than once. Oh and they now have over 1,000 awards and 31 Guinness Book World Records
That is just mind blowing!! Thank you for your support!!
@@RRREAD_TVthey’ve recently become the most awarded artist of all time (not just kpop)
Hello, I'm a 47-year-old Brazilian ARMY. Thank you for your reaction to our boys! I must tell you that it is very common to hear reports of people describing how they “found” BTS in their lives, how important it was, how much they needed them and everything they represented, even when these people didn't even know they needed them. I am part of that large group of fans who discovered support, help or support in some way through their music, messages, struggles and achievements. I was widowed after a relationship of almost 23 years and was going through a depressive process. I don't have children and my husband represented everything to me, he was my friend, my lover, my love, my father, my brother... truly a companion. I can't talk about important moments in my life in which he wasn't a part and his absence left a huge void. I found myself completely lost and disoriented, as if the best part of me had also died with him. By chance, to distract me, my mother (who was already a fan) showed me a performance from one of BTS's shows. I don't know how to explain it exactly, but all that energy touched my heart. From that moment on, every time I listened to his music or watched his videos, I somehow connected and identified with his messages. BTS became a kind of model of optimism for me, giving me strength and love. I believe that the group's fighting trajectory contributed profoundly to their growth, the construction of what they are today and the connection they have with their ARMYs. These boys are not perfect nor do they pretend to be, but they are extremely talented and determined human beings, who give us examples every day of humility, charity, attention, dedication and love for others. They are my daily dose of joy and encouragement, true angels on Earth! I love all 7 of them, I thrive on their achievements and I share their joys and sadness. Sorry for the long comment. I will follow your journey with BTS. And get ready because we're still going to laugh and cry a lot. We will be together.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
It is amazing that in a time of need they were able to give you a glimpse of happiness and a light at the ends of a dark tunnel! Sorry for your loss and no words can change how you feel! Thank you for coming along on this journey with me and I look forward to your assistance with my journey! Thank you for your support!!
@@RRREAD_TV Thank you for the thoughtful words. We will definitely be together on this wonderful journey. I will help in any way I can. And the ARMY is also always ready to help and guide you on this journey. This fandon is a family willing to embrace everyone in need. 💜
The visibility kpop now has in US and the world is thanks to bts , because of them there are kpop nominations, American shows invite kpop groups for interviews, shops with kpop albums exist . Many content kpop groups do now cause bts did that first, so it’s like success formula for them, like sns twitter/instagram/etc, doing livestreams with fans, their own variety shows , reactions to mvs , pushing for the same awards bts had to grasp a bit of bts popularity, making same concepts for music as bts (meaningful one) and many more
That is so awesome to see!! They became pioneers but stay true to themselves along the way which is amazing! Thank you for your support!!
Yes! There is a great video by Boracity Magazine channel called "Trends that BTS have created" when it comes to kpop. It's kinda funny to me cuz BTS did a lot of these things do to necessity, they weren't able to go on Korean tv shows or when they were they were treated awful (it's mostly to do with the monopoly the big 3 kpop companies YG, SM, & JYP have on the entertainment industry. They have a lot of money & power especially cuz some even own the TV stations themselves). They had to find alternative ways to reach people cuz they couldn't go through the traditional ways other kpop idols could. Psy who many know from the song "Gangnam Style" himself said they were one of the few kpop groups to release MV's with the English Subtitles and that inspired him to add Eng Subs on his MV's too. I find it funny that BTS became the most well known kpop group in the world when they are a huge anomaly in the Kpop industry for various reasons, they had complete creative control of their own music from the very beginning. Now because of BTS' success other companies are starting to loosen their reigns of control & allow their groups to participate more in their own music so the industry is changing but sadly a few of those companies did it cuz they think there is a secret formula for BTS' success so they try to emulate that. I don't think those companies realize most people that became fans of BTS it had nothing to do with them being a "Kpop group" or in the kpop industry and everything to do with them being very sincere talented human beings. I came from the general public I'm not a kpop fan I was a hard rock and metal fan before I found BTS. I became army because BTS are genuine music lovers of multiple genres and they are the most humble caring people. We army support charities and giving back to the world because BTS has lead us by example, they have shown us how rewarding spreading love & positively to the world can be. I think BTS are a once in a lifetime group.
Yes, all members of BTS are in the military. It's mandatory for all able bodied Korean men in their country. We absolutely miss them, but they've blessed us with so much amazing contents even while they're serving. Jin (eldest member) will be returning home next month!! June 12th to be exact! 😱😭💜
That’s wild to me but highly respected!! That is exciting to know about his return!! Thank you for your support!!
@RRREAD_TV They're very proud Korean men, so they definitely went when duty called. So proud of them and can't wait when they reconvene in 2025. Welcome to BTS x ARMY global family.
#ARMYsince2014 💜
53yr old Army. Loved your reaction and BTS paved the way across the world opening the door for the rest of the Kpop groups. I fell in love with the poetry and art in the music. I look forward to seeing you go down this BTS rabbit hole. I purple you 💜💜💜💜 from Cape Town South Africa
Thank you for your support!!
Same here...from Cape Town...with love!
13:56 RM here is actually talking about the song 0X1 Lovesong by TXT. He participated in writing the lyrics for that song.
That’s so awesome!! Thank you for your support!!
I am not really a TXT fan (I do like a few songs) but this song is one of my favorites!! I didn’t know RM had a hand in writing it for a while, but now makes sense.
"Honestly, I got to know about K-pop because of BTS. I heard one of their songs on the radio while driving back home, and it became a rabbit hole for me. Since then, I've been stanning them, and now I'm an ARMY. By the way, I like your respectful reaction towards them."
I love hearing about how people come across new music especially when it turns out to be your favorite ever!! Thank you for your support!!
When ARMY were doing the Name chant it was at the beginning of their Song Mic Drop which is a total Disc Track to all their Haters. Our BTS men are not afraid to come back at the 'Haters' through their music they do what Rapper's Do, they come back at them with their art.
ARMY singing to BTS at Wembley Stadium as a ARMY was very emotional as I was there singing at the top of my voice.
That’s amazing!! Thank you for your support!!
U were there?
@@bushraimran6929 I was at Wembley Stadium when we sang to BTS and they started crying. We suprised them.

You definitely won't regret going down the BTS rabbit hole. They're talented, fun, super funny, and very kind. I've always been a fan of rock and metal bands, but I found BTS in 2020 and haven't looked back. I love them and everything they stand for, and I can't wait for them to come back as a group. There's *so much* to check out from them, you definitely won't run out. Four years in and I still find stuff I haven't seen all the time.
Thank you for your support!!
Thanks for reacting. 💜 Follow thru on this video, The Hardships of BTS. You will understand why Army's are so protective with BTS. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks for the suggestion!! Thank you for your support!!
BTS are pretty much their own genre and not a typical "kpop" group. There are other really great groups and artists in Korean, but absolutely none of them have a discography as vast as BTS or have accomplished what BTS have. They have set multiple records for music, period, not just in the kpop industry. They are also 5 time Grammy Nominees.
Look I agree that bts are their own and are a unique group but bts aren’t the only group to have a lot of genres many kpop groups do to (some even more than bts) plz don’t take this as hate im a bts fan aswell
I’m excited for my BTS journey!! Thank you for your support!!
I'm going to comment as I watch, with some updates and some clarifications and attempting to answer any questions:
2:28
They have far more awards now. They are now standing at 1,175 physical awards and are now the most awarded artists of all time. Not Korean, or Kpop artists, but Global.
As soloists, they also have a lot of awards. Currently, 343 awards between them all, but I expect that count to rise shortly from j-hope's recent album and RM's upcoming album. They have 12 solo albums among members (about to be 13 when RM drops his new album this month) and 20 albums as a group, plus many collabs, OSTs, singles and covers. Their discography is very deep, over 600 songs if you include all the collabs with other artists on their other artists albums. They also have their own variety show, travel shows, Suga has an interview show, they have documentaries, concert films, vlogs, livestreams, webtoons, short films, books, and more.
Exploring BTS is a whole world in a rabbit hole, like falling into Wonderland, and they are the biggest group in the world. Their competition are the likes of Drake, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, etc. They are top of the charts, both as a group and as soloists. They top the charts in over 130 countries. Their global appeal is due to a lot of factors, but their crazy musical diversity and mind-blowing talent levels are chief among them. Enjoy the ride!
3:12
They in fact swept all the major awards at both the MMAs and the MAMAs year, after year, after year. It was a shutout. In 2022 the MAMAs made a new category of award for them called The Platinum Award and called them The Greatest of All Time.
4:08
Just for context on how small they started. Their company, Big Hit, was broke. They lacked money to properly promote them and so they did some unconventional and unorthodox things, like take to social media pretty much unedited and totally on their own terms. The boys uploaded themselves, vlogging, blogging and uploading free music, which no KPop groups did at that time. This opened them to an international fanbase from the start, which helped them overcome the crazy amount of industry shutout and abuse they suffered at home as being upstarts who didn't know their place. Big Hit had just ten full and part time employees and rented offices in a shared office building. They were mortgaged to their eyeballs and BTS was their only group. The had never trained a group before and had to cobble together a training support system, with a rented basement for dance practice and a leaky, moldy and bug infested apartment to house the boys.
BTS are honest, genuine good people, and real artists, writing and producing their own music, which is still a rarity in KPop. TXT are their junior group (the only other group at Big Hit) and BTS has written and produced for and mentored them, as well as helping to develop the
training used for TXT. Their prodeucer, Mr Bang really wanted to revolutionize the music industry and bring the voice and art of the artists to the forefront. So that is what he did with BTS. Big Hit's motto is Music and Artists for Healing and BTS has a self-imposed mission to bring love and healing to the world through their music.
Big Hit started tiny, but are now bigger than the other biggest three (previous Big Three) Kpop labels COMBINED. BTS is bigger than the whole of KPop. Hybe is their new legal umbrella company (the house that BTS built) and there are many smaller labels under Hybe that they acquired or made, including Big Hit, in a grape cluster structure. BTS all own stock and are voting shareholders of Hybe. Even with all of them away on hiatus while they serve their mandatory military service in S Korea, they are still more than 60% of Hybe's total income. When they are active, they are more than 80% of Hybe's income by themselves.
6:08
The privilege of the single bed went to eldest brother Jin, whom you can see sleeping in the bed in that shot.
13:35
FYI - Most iTunes #1s means #1 in the most countries. Every country has their own chart. So that means something in the range of #1 in more than 130 countries.
13:58
This part where he is talking about lyric writing he is talking about a TXT song he wrote for them.
28:00
BTS were the first to do a storyline of this type. The depth and complexity of their story and the real-world relatability and heavy topics of the subject matter is really unique. Basically, everyone in KPop copies or follows trends BTS started. There are lots of videos on trends BTS started if you want to know more about that. So there are other groups now with storylines or just themes that have some story elements to them. The state of KPop today is largely because of them. But TXT are their little brother group at the same label, so of course they also borrow some ideas or inspiration, but make them their own.
28:20
Imagine scouting him off a bus for his looks and then he sings like this! There are so many crazy happenstance and "what are the odds?" moments in their story. The boys say they think it was fate that brought them together. It's just too crazy a story. This intro doesn't even go into much of it.
38:43
You said Maknae exactly right.
45:55
You also said Borahae correctly, except don't put so much emphasis on the a. It's Bora-hae. It's a mashup of the words for purple and you. So "Purple You/I Purple You."
Absolutely the GOATs of KPop, but also of Korean music and of vocal groups globally, period. They are by far the biggest thing to ever come out of S Korea. They rival Hyundai in profit. With one concert, they brought more revenue into S Korea than the Pyongyang Winter Olympics did in 2018. They sell out the biggest stadiums in the world in minutes, all over the world. S Korea put them on their postage stamps - a first for a living artist. They have well over 100 million fans globally.
Wish I can give you a thousand likes!

Yes, BTS were really the first to jump onto social media marketing, out of sheer necessity since the industry in Korea pretty much shut them down. They were the first to have a Twitter account, started the trend for variety shows, etc. Now it is very common and pretty much everyone does it.
Sometimes you have to take things into your own hands and just jump!! Not everyone’s journey is the same and sometimes you have to try what may be uncomfortable or different but the results could be life changing!! Thank you for your support!!

Thank you so much for your awesome reaction to BTS! Definitely appreciate it! They are a group full of layers the depth of their musicality and performance is truly phenomenal. I honestly didn't even know about BTS till I saw a fan cam of V "Boys With Luv"on Instagram I couldn't believe what I was seeing it was truly incredible to me I watched it many times because we all know V's stage presence is off the charts. But that is what caused me to check into the entire group of BTS and that's when I realized just how talented they all truly were. That was back in 2018 and I'm still here. Sure appreciate the time and interest you put into this video.

Currently BTS has around 1000 awards and counting. Today all members speak English and Japanese. Jin spends his life eating to help Armys with eating disorders.
Jung Kook was 13 years old when he became a trainee. He came to Seoul on April 24, 2011. Age in Korea is calculated considering pregnancy as the period of life. Therefore, in Global age JK was 13 years old and in Korean age he was 14.As shown in the behind-the-scenes of Dope's MV. I recommend everyone to watch the documentary made by army The Rise of BangtamPlease also watch the explanatory video about the difficulties that BTS faced in the Korean and global

The story line is a bighit thing. BTS were really broke in 2015.
So they had to be creative to the maximum or they knew they weren't gonna survive in the industry. BTS tried everything and anything to b3 creative.
So in 2015 for their The Most Beautiful Moment in Life album series they decided to create a storyline for their music videos.
It kept running till the love Yourself era music videos in 2018 and a little bit into the Mots physical album contents.
Awesome comment!! Thank you for the extra information!! Thank you for your support!!
If the music "speaks to me" I'm listening to it, doesn't matter the genre, the group...
Thank you for your support!!
I love the fact that you're genuinely interested and is very attentive to the guide. A lot of reactors would usually do BTS for the views (because Army do come in force) but I can actually feel your interest in them. You got a sub from me and I hope to see more Bangtans! 💜
Thank you for your support!!
New subscriber, 53 years old Army (from Romania).... it's a pleasure every time we see smiles when anyone looking and listen to them...thank you for your reaction....hope you will enjoy BTS world, they are not just artists for us, they are family 💜💜🇹🇩

BTS Paved the Way!!!!!
Thank you for your support!
A great example of their awesome live shows is the 2019 MMA award show. They had a 40 minute slot but it's amazing
That’s awesome!! Thank you for your support!!
@@RRREAD_TV supressed by the old school music industry BTS went bigger every year at award shows to let everybody see what they could do, ... until covid. Now award shows limit BTS time wise and set wise, because who would want to follow them, how demoralising. So if you want to see an award show performance that out does a super bowl half time ( BTS paid for the sets as just hiring that amount of huge led screens would have cost multi millions and let's not talk about unnecessary circe de soleil stuff lazers and who knows what) MMA 2019 is it. They change the sets or clothes and you are kept entertained by spectacle. A must see. A performance extravaganza by the Kings of live performance.
BTS and TXT are my fav groups, I love your reactions
TXT is Amazing!! Looking forward to learning more about BTS!! Thank you for your support!!
RM wrote one of my favorite TXT song love song that the song RM was talking about the lyric s in the video
That’s awesome!! Can’t wait to hear it! Thank you for your support!!
the story that rus with the music videos its a bighit thing; others agencies have a concept or universe but i personally think that txt and bts story is more complex than others
Thanks for the comment! I’m excited to watch the BTS story! Thank you for your support!!
@@RRREAD_TV There's actually a K-Drama airing right now that revolves aroung the BTS Universe called "BEGINS ≠ YOUTH".. it's a 12 episodes show, with the last four episodes airing on May 14th..
Since you’re interested in learning more about K-pop in general as well as BTS I’d recommend the Rise of Bangtan series. It’s a fan-made documentary you can find on RUclips. Gives a bit about K-pop history and shows how BTS’s training/upcoming was different from general K-pop.
Awesome!! Thank you for the information!! Thank you for your support!!
Hi dear. 68yo ARMY here. I'm so glad I found you. You have such a warm, inviting presence. I felt like I was sitting on my couch with my good friend watching the BTS guide. But anyway hurry back sweet dear.💜
That’s awesome! My goal is always to be as inviting and authentic as I can be and to know that is how you felt is amazing to know! Thank you for your support!!
Living legends and King of K Pop. TXT is not the big brother of BTS. It's the other way around. BTS is the big brothers to TXT. Welcome to the BTS rabbit hole. Borahae 🇺🇸🫰💜💜💜💜💜
Yea I think I correct myself but my brain was a buzzing from excitement!! Thank you for your support!!
That's what he said.
Yes, they are the GOAT! I’m confident you’ll really enjoy the experience if you continue learning more about BTS - there is about 11 years of both group and solo efforts to explore. ARMY is happy to follow your journey with you. Have fun! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
That’s a lot of content lol!! I’m excited to learn and explore all BTS has to offer!! Thank you for your support!!
The relationship between BTS and TXT is so lovely. RM is also close to TXT's leader Soobin and has helped him out a lot by giving him advice on how to lead his group. TXT's Taehyun is close to Jimin Suga and J-hope!
Thank you for your support!!
Unusually for Kpop BTS chose to live together for 8 years instead of just the usual training period.
That’s awesome!! Thank you for your support!!
Well they didn't, actually live together for 8 years that is just the narrative that was told by the company. Taehyung & Jungkook stopped living with the others around the end of 2019, Older Army's know this, it was picked up from one of the bon voyage videos that Taehyung & Jungkook were not staying in the rooms they said they were.
This is why older Army's do not recommend Taylor's video as she presents the companies narrative rather than the facts, older Armies recommends Xceleste videos, especially the BTS Hardships one.
@@pamelakrause9311 well the trouble is we actually non of us know for sure. There is alot of taking two and two together to make five.Then everybody accepting that as a truth. A lot of wish fulfillment going on. people accept clues that point to a narrative they desire. Assume continuity in what might have been true for a specific period of time of unknown duration. . V also said he and Jungkook were no longer as close as they used to be. A separate conversation with Jimin revealed he had tried to mend the unexplained distance between them. So he might have succeeded but then again V did not know Jungkook was putting out a full album( evidence Suchwita episode). The 8 years comment was from a conversation between members. Not a press release. Life is fluid we move in and out depending on work and private lives. We actually do not know. Perhaps that is good. We really do not have the right to know. However I repeated that conversational titbit because it indicates a choice to extend living together beyond the norm. When you think about it, it makes sense. Security would be cheaper. ( given all the death threats). They definately laugh when together which is a great stress relief etc. They all say they miss each other. That is undeniable.
@@pamelakrause9311they started living together from 2011 'till 2019 that makes it 8 years , so I don't know what "narrative" are you yapping about .
They continued to have the house they used to live but ended up selling it around 2020-2021
@@pamelakrause9311 lmao what fantasy world u live in lol Bts have said numerous time that they lived together up until 2021..did you not pay attention to their festa dinner or any other interview where they said it themselves
BTS BIGGEST BAND in the world 💜
I can't wait for you start listening to their music they are the goats. Trust me us ARMY will let you know which way to go.
I’m excited!! Thank you for your support!!
I’m 59 year old Army! As well as MOA! Going to see TXT in Houston on my Birthday! So excited! Theirs also another group that’s younger than TXT. Enphyen they were formed on a show called Island! Both BTS and TXT were there at the finale! This was during Covid! Now Enphyen is touring regularly here! I’m also a fan of Shinee , Astro, Got7, CMBLUE, The Rose! You’ll hear the term Bias! A lot of people pick one member as their favorite! I can’t choose between the Boys so I’m 0T7. All Seven!! But out of all the groups I love and Support BTS so my Bias!!
That’s awesome you’re going to see TXT!! Deja Vu was amazing and I know there going have great shows so enjoy!! As for the other groups I’ve heard and wrote down to check out at a later time but as you see I’m taking it one group at a time! Thank you for your support!!
I think it’s great to see some stuff from the early days and witness how they evolved. Some of the early MVs didn’t have English subtitles, but there are channels that have added them. Start with their debut 2013/2014 school trilogy:
No More Dream
We Are Bulletproof pt2
N.O.
Boy In Love
Just One Day
Danger
War of Hormone
Then you’ll be able to move on to a huge growth era for them, 2016 onwards, when they were really becoming epic in the world scene 💜
Thanks for the recommendations!! I want to watch their whole journey from the beginning to their latest releases!! Thank you for your support!!
@@RRREAD_TV Their messaging and lyrics are vital. If you go off their official channel their 1st 2 MV don't have subs but these ones do: ruclips.net/video/dbOP0QotOZE/видео.htmlsi=4nVAkiuOtNmF832W (No More Dream) ruclips.net/video/sdTyZcXFDfc/видео.htmlsi=EPHW3rxYTDATGcNg (We are Bulletproof pt.2)
Yes you can simultaneously check the songs out with the Rise Of Bangtan Series..
Hi, welcome. Glad you checked out the guide first, it's a good place to start. You did great with the names, thank you for recognizing their individual talents, each one is very gifted but together they are amazing. You had mentioned a desire to go back to their beginning. The first is “2 cool 4 skool”, for this LP they have two MV's and dance practices, I highly encourage a full listen to the whole album. I look forward to watching your journey. Have a great day.💜
Thanks for the comment and recommendations!! Thank you for your support!!

Excited to see you dive into BTS discography/ the BTS Universe
Thank you for your support!!
thanks for watching and being so attentive.
Thank you for your support!!
there'S so many things to be said about BTS. theyre indeed the GOAT of Kpop and certainly paved the way for the other groups. not saying theyre the first in everything but they certainly influenced most of the other group in so many ways. as someone new to BTS and ARMY, pls also expect that there'll be some not so friendly feedback and some toxicity. theyre a small part of ARMY..some may be real ARMYs but some are really socmed tactics from who knows who. the KPOP world can really be toxic at times. Welcome to our purple world. ARMYs are really helpful and will guide you. Borahae. Pls enjoy your journey.
Toxic people can only bring you down if you let them! Kill them with kindness and move along! I’m excited to learn more about BTS! Thank you for the heads up and Thank you for your support!!
I 💜 to see your thoughtful reaction! I am excited to watch your journey into their music! I have literally never heard a song of theirs I didn't love! They are truly special men! I am a fan of other Kpop groups, but these guys are on another level!💫💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💫
I’m excited to go on this journey!! Thank you for your support!!
I loved your reaction and I can’t wait for you to react to their music. There is so much to look forward too. Also if you liked TXT at Lollapalooza then you will love J-Hope at Lollapalooza. I’m hoping in the future you will react to that too. 💜
I’m exited to learn more about BTS! Thank you for your support!!
I was surprised to see you on my feed. I checked your channel & u havent reacted to any of their stuff, just a blind reaction to the guide. And you're amazing!
K-pop itself is new to me!! I came across TXT first and now BTS!! I am excited to learn more about them!! Thank you for your support!!
💜 Welcome to BTS world 💜
I BTS,il gruppo più amato in ogniangolo del mondo! 7 personalità uniche,irripetibili e non replicabili! Lasciati accogliere dlla tana del bianconiglio, sarà un'esperienza che non potrai dimenticare! ( I'm an italian silver Army......66year old😊) 💜💜💜💜Army Forever
Thank you for this reaction! Pls watch the new guide that dropped yesterday. It's called 'a long and helpful guide to bts (2024)' by purple snow. There is a lot of updated info in that one.
Thanks for the information!! Definitely going to check it out!! Thank you for your support!!
@@RRREAD_TV No problem! you can split the video in two if it's too long but we armys love watching longer video!!
@@RRREAD_TV Yes! Please make a reaction video on the updated version!

Loved your genuine reaction. Looking forward to following your journey into getting to know BTS and the members. 💜💜💜
Thank you for your support!!
Bts paved rhe way 💜💜💜
Thank you for your support!!
The fact that BTS are the ones who made K-pop cannot be denied ,I don't mean any offense, I respect all the teams, but BTS is the strongest in my opinion.
Thank you for your support!!
@@RRREAD_TV You're welcome💜
The only BTS' siblings that ARMY recognises are Lee Hyun (elder brother. A soloist) and TXT (younger brother group). Btw, loved your reaction. You did amazing taking in the information.
It would be lovely if you could do FULL album-wise reactions. then adding solo stuffs of that era, variety show: Run BTS..... so on.
HOWEVER YOUR'S IS THE FINAL DECISION. Thank you
Thank you for your support!!
14:05 funny anecdote since you started with txt, here RM was actually breaking down the writing process to TXT's song 0x1=lovesong, which he wrote a big chunk of!
It's (0×1)= love song not loser= lover.
@@reamae2427 thx yes omg got confused! It's been so long! I edited the comment
That’s awesome!! Thank you for your support!!
“So BTS got a couple guys that can low key kick yo @ss.” 🤣🤣 Basically. They wouldn’t though cause they’re too nice and respectful lol.
I would venture to say they are the GOAT. There are plenty of good groups out there, but there is something special with BTS. They are a family and we are like very distant cousins. 🤣 I’ve never encountered a group so close with their fans. And their music is usually very meaningful which is hard to find these days. Loved your reaction! I’m going to enjoy watching your trip down the rabbit hole. 😁💜💜💜
Thank you for your support!!
The loved eatchother like brothers and the all lived together for 9-10 years in a dorm. the now have there own apartments but 4 off theme live whidin 5 min from eatchother. All members are in the mandatory military now, so in 2023 all members did solo songs or album. The oldest member Jin come out 12 june next month and J-hope come out in October and the rest 5 members in 2025 june. So Bts will be back as a group then
That’s so cool to see their bond!! Thank you for your support!!
A couple of groups had a story line idea with their groups, but BTS was the first one to have a successful one that resonated with people in a meaningful way and made it a go-to for many new groups to incorporate one.
Since they make their own music and craft the albums as a story unto itself, the rhythm of story is infused into their music as a whole and lends itself to that format.
That’s awesome!! Thank you for your support!!
i Army 43 Years old AND love BTS, your music Is amazing.
Thank you for your support!!
Welcome to the ARMY, new recruit! This was such a fun watch. I can't wait to see you dive into their music soon!
I don't really know your taste in music yet but I felt like you enjoyed the rap a lot so I'll recommend Mic Drop for now.
Don't be too hard on yourself with the names! It took me a while to remember the names and faces and put them together, but you'll get there eventually.
Borahae! 💜
I listen to all genres of music!! I’m excited to learn more!! Thank you for your support!!
BTS best in the world 💜
There is a long series called "The Rise of Bangtan" that is very good. You learn about BTS from the beginning, but the early episodes is also good at introducing you to the world of K-pop.
Awesome thanks for the recommendation!! Thank you for your support!!
For me personally, TXT and BTS have the best discography in Kpop! Excited for you to get into BTS.
Thank you for your support!!
BTS BIGGEST Boy Band in the world ❤
RM the most talented rapper, composer, songwriter, producer and human being ,every song he does has a different story and different emotions!! Please react to his album indigo while we wait for his next one Right Place Wrong Person on May 24 ,you will not be disappointed

BTS is what got me into Kpop and I enjoy all different genres. I appreciate them still to this day, but will say that I like many different groups. BTS has set the bar high for what I expect to see

Thanks for your reaction and genuine interest! BTS is my first and only kpop group. I say that knowing that BTS has long transcended the world of kpop. As you go down your BTS journey, you will find there is no other group like them. I appreciate you digging into their background and getting to know each of their personalities. Yes, they are incredible musicians, producers, and dancers. Make sure to check out their dance practices and live performances! Dive deep into the lyrics of the songs because they are amazing lyricists! To date, BTS has received many more awards as a band and as soloists but what sets them apart from other groups is their long standing love for and mutual relationship with ARMY. I recommend watching Xcelete's "BTS Hardships 2013-2021" video so you can see why ARMY is very protective of BTS. Since Jimin's birthday is coming up on Oct 13th, I recommend watching "Park Jimin Introduction 2024" by TheJiminVideos. You will often hear/see "BTS Paved The Way" because it's true!
The live's BTS are increíble, The BTS's MAMA awards are crazy!
Welcome to the rabbit hole! This video is a great way to understand why ARMY is so passionate about these boys... they're so decent, genuine, and love us as much as we love them. Looking forward to seeing more of your reactions! Borahae! 💜
I’m excited to learn more!! Thank you for your support!!
