Long reactions are perfectly okay with ARMY. I'm 85 years old and BTS means so much to me. I'm so grateful that I found them when I did. I look forward to watching more reactions. As you learn more about their music and their personalities, you'll find that they are a very special group. 💜💜
Of course we made it to the end. The real ARMYS ( which is about 99%) of us love watching reactions to BTS and getting to know you as well. Thanks for your reaction! Borahae from a 53 yo woman in California 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Yes RM is genius level, and he uses it in his music too. When you really break down his lyrics it's rather mind blowing how he uses words and gives things even more meanings
@@555VibesThere’s a rap line song they made as a gift to fans, Ddaeng, where according to a popular explanation video he uses 7 different meanings for the word in a single verse.
always turn on CC as you will get so much in the lyrics. Plus, Suga and RM rap REALLY fast @times, you will have to pause. Another tip, most of the bigger videos have explanation videos too. Important must watch are Idol, and Spring Day. In fact watch the explanation video for Spring Day first as I have seen many people get in trouble if they don't know what the song is for.
Please continue your journey with BTS. I am a 58 year old ARMY. One of the things I love about BTS is that they are ‘Good People.’ There is a saying”You don’t find BTS. They find you when you need them most.” They definitely found me and I am so grateful. 💜
I think the main reason people say BTS isn't a "boy band" is because there tends to be a negative connotation to it and we don't want people to misunderstand the level of artistry. As for not being k-pop, they have even said they're k-pop, but a lot of ARMY are only fans of BTS, not other groups considered k-pop. Also k-pop is a label that again feels a little restrictive, and BTS are global artists. Personally, I don't take offense to either unless it's used in a negative, stereotypical, sort of way.
Yeah, those words aren't bad in itself and can definitely apply to BTS. Although we know they're much more than that. Real Armys stay respectful and spread positivity 💜
Well said. They are just labels used to classify certain types of bands, or style of music from a particular country of origin. As for Rolling Stone's list of "The Greatest Boy Band Songs Of All Time", in includes song by the likes of Metellica, and The Rolling Stones- not groups you would normally associate with the term 'boy band'. There I think they are simply referring to groups that solely have males in their lineups. In that case the term is accurate, and doesn't bear the negative connotations.💜🤔 And considering the other groups on that list, number 5 is an incredible achievement. Nor is it the only BTS song to make the list, there are several others; but moon is definitely the highest.💜
Hi dear. 68yo Army here. Of course we watched all the way to the end...and we've all seen this dozens of times. One of Army's greatest pleasures is watching someone react to this for the first time...and you did not disappoint. (Yeah, I can speak for everyone. Yeah, I'm arrogant like that) You were respectful and attentive and openminded. Well done, sir.
@555Vibes I'm right there with you hun. Most of us are nice, but we do protect our guys. I've had a few that said this video was copyrighted so they Had to put on patreon...which is BS....those are the ones we call Out and spread the word on ,as they are using the guys to make money and that's all... What you might have missed, many do, is the guys were just kids theirselfs at the time. 12,14,15,16 when they started in 2011 training. JK was really the youngest, from 2011 when he went to the dorm to start training till debuted in 2013 at 15 so yeah, they are family and RM, Jin, Jhope and Suga raised him, Taehyung and Jimin. While they were just teens. People get all up about they are too physical with each other, it's a different culture, they don't touch the opposite sex, don't make out ,hold hands, kiss like in the USA...yes they are multi talented. Their culture is Education and being the Best in everything you can. It's a big difference than Western ways. Thank you for your kind reaction, while your watching BTS, Army's will be around. Any question just ask, you'll get an answer. Enjoy your adventure!!! ❤💜💜💜💜💜💜💜❤
@@rgober60 In Korea they have a culture of what is called "skinship" where members of the same sex are very physically affectionate with one another, starting from childhood.
I probably watched this multiple times through other reactors and I never tire of it. And you will find most of us won’t mind long reactions. Their music is top notch but more importantly they are good people despite their hardships and struggles. So much has happened since this video and I hope you will go through your own journey discovering them. I don’t think there’s a wrong way to do it. If your reactions are genuine, we will encourage and suggest more without being critical. Even I don’t like all the songs equally. Have fun on this journey! 💜
Thank you for your genuine reaction and open mind. Sadly the small toxic portion that likes to leave nasty comments about every and any little thing tends to be the loudest. Most are not even ARMY and they def don’t represent the majority of us. Hope you enjoy your journey Thru this rabbit hole. They have so much content and IMO everything they do is better live, I’ve yet to be disappointed. 💜💜💜
Absolutely made it to the end. 50 yr old ARMY here from the US. Enjoy your journey and please go at your own pace. There is a lot to take in. You may not like it all and a friendly reminder that that is OK. 🙂
Agreed. There are always songs that you resonate with more, and some less. Some videos you find hilarious, and some that can leave you scratching your head. And that is perfectly fine.💜 All we ask is that you are honest and respectful. If you are, we'll be by your side during your journey. 💜
The amount of time I’ve said “Wow” when it comes to my 5 year BTS journey is in the thousands so hearing you say it over and over felt relatable! Enjoy this amazing rabbit hole!
I’ve been following BTS since 2014 I’m now 54yrs, my journey started because of their great personalities, amazing performances and wonderful messages in their lyrics💜
Think of them as a vocal group. They surpassed being a boy band in their diversity of music. They have started a movement in loving yourself and helping others. Welcome "baby" Army. Army can be a bit too passionate at times, too protective as well, but the majority of us want to help you with this journey. Borahae 💜💜
Don't worry too much about calling them kpop or a boy band. Even BTS has referred to themselves as a kpop boy band. I think what fans mean when they say don't refer to them as both these things is that can be a limiting description for BTS as a group. Even RM has stated he doesn't want to limit their hearts and their music to the term kpop. Like a lot of the stereotypes applied to western boy bands don't necessarily apply to BTS and the same goes for a lot of the stereotypes about kpop in general. Both Jimin and Jungkook are from Busan and it's actually where they performed their last concert with all 7 members before they started to enlist in the military. And fun fact the concert was completely free to attend. And yes I made it to the end. Trust me ARMY don't care how long BTS reaction videos are. We've watched much longer videos than this one before. I've probably watched this introduction to BTS video at least 50 times (if not more) due to all the reactions I've watched to it. The longest BTS reaction video I've watched was 7 hours long (yes I took breaks), it was a reaction to all their music videos in order.
Don’t worry about the long video - ARMY don’t mind at all. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our boys. They are very unique not only in their music, but in the impact they have had on so many people. I have been ARMY since they debuted, first discovering them through their pre-debut vlogs on RUclips. I had been into Kpop for some years but these guys just intrigued me. Their honesty and openness is unparalleled. They share so much with their fans. I really hope you dive more into their diverse discography as well as watching some of the videos that show their personalities. You mentioned at one point that they are “family” and you are correct. Until very recently all the guys still lived together and have likened themselves to brothers. There is a ton of content out there to watch so I am looking forward to going on this journey with you. As for some of the “bad” comments you received on your last video, please don’t think that is indicative of the fandom - true fans will not act this way. Welcome to our ARMY family - we will always be here to guide and support you. Borahae 💜💜💜🇦🇺
They are a phenomenon. The right man put together the right boys at the right time and gave them the right platform to shoot to stardom. Their concerts are amazing. They are humble brothers, each unique and enormously multi-talented. If you started watching all their content online you'd still be here next years. While other entertainers "hide" away for their privacy, BTS has put themselves on full display and invited Army into their lives on a near daily basis.. the result is fans (of all ages, from all over the world) consider them friends and love them... it is an interesting concept from start to now. They will be fulfilling their military service obligations through 2025 and intend to come back together!
There was nothing wrong with doing Dynamite first! It’s the song that gave them their first #1 on the Billboard 100. And their first Grammy nomination!
Thank you so much for continuing to react to the guys. ARMY can get a bit intense sometimes and people will always have different opinions about how to go about exploring BTS. The truth is, a lot of people react to Dynamite or Butter first because those are their most popular, easy to digest songs for new viewers who are not used to K-pop yet. Even so, most ARMYs are just excited to introduce you to their favorite group and show you why BTS is so important to us, so I hope you don’t take any rude or pushy comments to heart. We’re mostly just excited and happy that you’re interested! Thank you for reacting to this! This is one of the best guides I’ve seen to showcase BTS’s talents and personalities. I hope that you continue to give them a shot💜
armys will watch no matter how long it takes, no matter what many times we've watched this because we love seeing people falling for BTS because they deserve all the love.
Made it to the end, like always, we love watching new people fall for them and realize they are so so much more than your typical boy band. Haven't read through the other comments, but they are currently dropping their solo works as they start trickling into mandatory military service. So far J-Hope, Joon, Jimin, & Yoongi have dropped complete albums, JK & Jin have dropped singles with JK saying a full album is coming later in the year, & Tae is fixing to drop a full album next month. With their solo works you can see the individuality of each member and can truly appreciate their broad range of talents. All that to say welcome to the rabbit hole and enjoy your ride. 😊
If you want to know more about bts i recommend to watch the most beautiful life goes on a story of bts 2023 update it's really good he explained so well💜 and bts hardships 2013-2021
Fun fact abt RM is that he once did a virtual house tour recently and his house looks like an art museum. He _really_ likes fine arts and wants to open a space, like a cafe, one day that'll let ppl view his collection. He donates to preserve Korean pieces and artifacts in foreign museums and has lent his voice to narrating for the Korean exhibition at LACMA.
They are the most beautiful people I’ve ever come across even without ever meeting them in person (if you don’t count the concerts I’ve attended). We army always stay for any BTS reactions to the end 😀💜💜 and thanks for taking the time reacting to this. Much appreciated. Looking forward on your next reaction
It's okay. They debuted in 2013. Hehe! I hope you'll get to know them well. As an ARMY, I will say this, we welcome new people who will admire and truly respect BTS, not just for their music, but respect them as a team and as brothers.
You bet I watched this all the way through and for the 20th plus time. This time with you and I will watch it again and again as new people react to it. Thank you so much for giving me another oportunity to do so and I enjoyed your reaction. I'm a 57 yr old baby silver ARMY who was found by BTS last year. (They find you when you need them). Just wait until you start hearing the stories from those of us who's lives were saved by BTS. There are millions of us.💜
I guarantee you that most of the people who tuned in for this reaction stayed for all of it. ARMYs love long videos and reactions. You don't ever need to be concerned about people staying if you do a long reaction video. Especially when you react to the 2019 MMA award show cuz that's about 40 minutes long and you will have a huge viewership guaranteed.
I’m so glad you watched this and since this video was made they’ve done so much more both as solo artists and as a group but unfortunately they’ve started enlisting in the military which is mandatory in Korea so they won’t be together as a group again until 2025 but like I’ve said they’ve done a lot since this video and have left us with plenty to listen to till then. 💜 They have also broken multiple records including some of Michael Jackson’s and the Beatles.
Thanks for sharing your genuine thoughts with us 💜🇺🇸🙏. Like Suga said “when ever you found BTS, is the date BTS debut for you”. Looking forward to seeing more of your reactions🫠.
Thanks for watching this and appreciating the gift that is BTS. There is so much more for you to experience. I'm excited for you, and confident you'll end up loving them as much as we do!
Made it to the end. We actually do like long videos. We enjoy watching people learn about BTS and become Army. BTS is family. The brothers lived together for almost 10 years until they finally got their own place in 2020/2021. The youngest is JK and he was 13 years old when he joined. He was basically raised by the older brothers. I personally believe JK is a manifestation of the 6 brothers. He has all their skills. Here is two links to Army singing Young Forever to BTS. Both have different views but you can hear Army singing. Enjoy. ruclips.net/video/4WP6YElUzcI/видео.html. ruclips.net/video/mmKW8mnsB-4/видео.html.
Listening to and watching BTS will always leave you smiling! They are just amazing! Not only are their sound and vocals crazy good but also their choreography and dance skills! It always starts with one or two videos then you are hooked! I recommend Tiny desk concert next then maybe check out some live shows! The energy they give off on stage is ridiculous! I look forward to your next reaction!
RM’s high IQ is probably why he could learn English from watching TV shows? That would be incredibly hard, and his level of fluency and usage is very good, so it would take a very smart person.
It seems to be a common way a lot of people learn English. But usually it's over a span of many years doing so, but RM learned it by only watching the entire series 3 times.
I am a caucasian 71 year old 8th generation American. ARMY since 2016. Thank you for joining ARMY. I don't care if they sing in Korean. Japanese, or English.
Hello from Paris - France. Thank you for your positive reaction to the 7 Bangtan boys. I could be their mother - even grandmother maybe - but support them since 2016. They are awesome very talented young men and amazing performers. You won’t be long before falling into their rabbit hole! I purple you 💜 😊
Thank you for watching and reacting to the Guide! Yes, most ARMYs will make it to the end, as did I. I learned about BTS in March 2022, and have been a 53 year old ARMY ever since then. These young men are each amazingly talented on their own and bring about an unsurpassed level of excellence when put together in this group. I was never into rap, boy bands, or any particular group until I found out about BTS. Now, I just love watching their dance and listening to their music and it has helped to calm me and brought me through some tough times already this year, while healing from A-Fib ablation surgery and from a broken leg surgery. I am so thankful for their sweet music while I was unable to work for a couple months. I hope you will continue this journey and react to more BTS songs.💜Borahae💜
Thanks for checking out BTS. The 7 members are all talented, motivational and inspirational. Please react also to their other documentary videos to know them better like 1. The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS ( this is about their journey from beginning to present, how they are formed, from their first album to the latest), 2. Xceleste Introduction to BTS (as a group). Continue what you’re doing. You’re doing a good job. See you soon on your next BTS reaction.
71 year old Army here. I think some Armys say that it's not Kpop because BTS has moved beyond Kpop and has become a global phenomenon. They have pretty much left Kpop in the dust and no one in Kpop has come even close to their achievements. Also, their music is very heavy and deep compared to the common superficial poppy stuff. They are on another level and have an very close connection to Army. 💜
a respectful and open-minded reactor, willing to know more about the boys is always a 👍🏼 in our books. somehow, it really shows when a reactor is sincere. so thank you! 💜 welcome to the rabbit hole! ps. yes i stayed until the end 😉
46yo ARMY here 💜 Looking forward to you becoming ARMY too 😊💜 Don't worry about the length of the videos with BTS. We love genuine interest in BTS and reactions to their work no matter how long 💜💜💜
Helpful hint for the guide: Not sure if you know.... Korean people used to count age differently to others... Korean Age vs International Age - difference is 1-2 years depending on if their birthday has been.... In most older videos, including this guide, they are giving Korean ages so you will need to adjust. So, The members were only 13-18 years old when they became trainees and 15-20 yo when they debuted. In Korea when you were born you were considered 1 year old. Then on Korean new year every year you added another year to your age, no matter what your birthdate is. .... Year of birth - International age at Debut on 13June13 (Year and age became trainee) Jin 1992 - 20 yo (2011 - 18yo) Suga 1993- 20 yo (2011 - 17yo) Suga started with MIDI at 11 JHope 1994 - 19 yo (2011 - 17yo)JHope started dancing at 8 RM 1994 - 18 yo (2010 - 15yo) RM started rapping at 11 and was well known in the underground scene at 13 Jimin 1995 - 17 yo (2012 - 16yo) V 1995 - 17 yo (2011 - 15yo) JK 1997 - 15 yo (2011 - 13yo) JK signed with big hit at 13yo Rule of thumb for older videos - if it's before their birthday - subtract 2 years to get international age. if it's after their birthday - subtract 1 year to get their international age. EG: TaeHyung (V) born 30 Dec 1995 ...... current International Age 27 (Korean Age 29). ... 2 years difference So Tae born 30 Dec 95 is 1 year old, then on 01 Jan 96 he is 1 more year older (so they would say he is 2 years old, when we would say he is 2 days old.) So he was considered 29 in Korea since 01 January, we would say he is 27 turning 28 in Dec. It's a different way of looking at age, from new years day - Tae is living his 29th year (since conception) - instead of - he turned 27 (since birth).... The Korean Government has recently (June28) brought in international age as the standard in Korea, but all older videos/ interviews/ shows, will be referencing Korean age. 💜Have a great day... sending greetings from Australia.
They started as a K-POP group and still technically are, but they transcended beyond that and are now worldwide famous. There songs have topped charts all over the world. They have really created a genre all to themselves. Labeling them K-POP should not bother anyone. These seven artistic geniuses began as K-POP artists. I’m sure they are proud of their roots and no doubt their country is proud of them. 💜
I made it all the way to the end. Well done and welcome to ARMY! It stands for Adorable Representative MC for Youth. If you want to get an idea of BTS's discography, watch BTS 2021, Room Live FESTA. It's a medley of their songs starting from the old to the new. You'll get a flavor for BTS's musical versatility and diversity. I'm a 63 yr old ARMY and love these young men. They're my fountain of youth. Borahae 💜💜
Army will alsways watched until the end of the video, thats how we support new reactors. Ive watched this Guide 50x already hahaha to watch with the new reactors. Welcome to BTS rabbithole. Yes I agree, they the most humble and genuine people. They always intreract with their fans thru live, even if oyher members jpined the military they always make sure that Army are updated. We love them so much. Thank you for your beautiful reaction. Borahae.💜💜💜
I am here at the end to say that I enjoyed your reaction. I am 59 yr old ARMY and cannot count just how many times I have watched reactions to this and other videos. Our favourite thing is being able to see the discovery and growing appreciation for the boys by new reactors and then sharing it over and over again with them as they become army too
I, as an ARMY, am happy that you got to understand the reasons why we stan BTS. Not only do they spread love and enjoyment through their music but most especially they convey positivity and unbiased acceptance of everybody despite haters who try their darndest to bring their spirits down. We await their comeback in 2025 as a group. BTS HWAITING!!! BTS SARANGHAE AND BORAHAE!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
You have fallen into the rabbit hole…You could watch videos for the next 5 years and STILL not see everything there is to these guys…I’m 58 and have my own story as most do…but I don’t listen to any other music now…their work ethic is unmatched….everytime they are knocked down they fight that much harder..when you see what good people they are you can’t help but support them…you will meet some incredible people in this fandom (and some real psychos unfortunately) but I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything💜💜💜
Stayed until the very end! Let ARMY know what type of music you're into, so we can make recommendations on which BTS content you should begin with (or if you'd prefer going chronologically). Also, you may enjoy getting to know the members' personalities by watching their reality shows: RUN BTS, Bon Voyage, In the Soop. At the end of each of your videos, you could let us know which video/performance you'll react to next, so we can give some suggestions on which version (MV, Live, Mix Stage, etc.) we prefer, or we can give you some background information regarding the song. 💜💜💜
Thanks, honestly since starting this channel I’ve realized I don’t have a specific type of music. I appreciate anything I think is good and I certainly appreciate anything that brings people together. I’ll just listen to recommendations and see where it takes me.
welcome to the BAngtan universe where purple hearts and positive energy being shared everyday... an army since 2018 and im 48... a healthcare worker in NY.. went to LA for PTD, went to chicago for hobipalooza and last to Newark for Agust D...yes... by myself... coz BTS is home and Army are brothers and sisters...BTS is my therapy...
2 minutes in and your genuineness is already clear, we love that. Bc if you have an open mind and you’re interested, you’ll fall in love with these guys, we’re confident😌 thanks for your reaction!
I’m 71 years old and happy to be Army. BTS makes me so totally happy. Thank you for getting to know them, you shall discover how amazing they are. I first saw them at the Billboard on May 20, 2018 and said who are this 7 young man and started searching on RUclips, Twitter, IG, information about them then I heard the song by BTS named “Fire” and from that moment I became Army. The only thing I regret is no knowing them from the start but I went back in time to see their early growth and now I totally know them. So I hope you enjoy your journey with BTS. 💜💜💜
BTS was there when we did not expect it. We found them.. they found us. Let's continue to be there to each other and to the boyz.. till 2025 we'll be waiting.. We'll still be the same. ARMY lets be strong..💜
I’m 57 and have been army for over 5 years. My daughter introduced me to them and I’ve been a fan ever since. Look forward to you exploring more about their music, personalities and solo projects as well as group live performances 💜
I'm a 72 yo California grandmother who found BTS in 2019 and went down the rabbit hole. I love the positivity and kindness they spread globally to the younger generation. They give me hope that that my grandkids might live in a better world. I've seen this so many times, but I never tire of it. Enjoy your journey!
ARMY have seen this documentary by Taylor countless of times and we absolutely enjoy watching it all over again when someone new just discovered BTS. :)
I actually watched your video to the end... ARMY are used to those and we don't mind it, as long as reactors show genuine interest in BTS. Hope you explore more of their music. MVs, live performances and other contents. This 55 yo ARMY says THANK YOU for giving BTS a chance. Looking forward to your future BTS reactions. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I have watched this all the way through so many times. I enjoyed your reaction. If you want positivity, you have come to the right place. There is a reason they are the most popular group in the world.
Made it to the end. 60yo ARMY here and I will be forever grateful to BTS. I am still alive because of them and their positivity. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to following you and your BTS journey. They are truly one (seven) of a kind.
BTS is incredible. I’m a 40 year old mother who has never been a fan of any boy groups, even back in my teens. In fact, I’ve never been a “fan” of anyone before. I have music I like, of course, but I wasn’t particularly interested in the artist behind it. My husband and I looked up BTS about a year and a half ago because we kept hearing references to them but didn’t know who they were. I can’t even recall what video(s) I watched but I know I watched a few then a few more and then a few more and here I am 😂 Their performances, their lyrics, their personalities, just something about all of it…it’s just FUN. I wish I could remember what my first videos were or knew what my reactions were but I don’t remember anything at all. I just fell down the rabbit hole without even knowing that’s what I was doing.
Definitely made it to the end and enjoyed your reaction. You approached it with an open mind and open heart, unlike so many that judge BTS without knowing anything about them beyond one or two songs. I am happy to subscribe and follow your BTS journey. BTS & ARMY give me so much hope for future generations because both do so much for the planet and humanity.....on top of their amazing musical skillset. They are genuinely 7 superstars who raise each other and ARMY up on a daily basis. Best thing I ever did was become ARMY. Thank you for reacting.
I can watch anything BTS related for hours upon hours 😂..! Great reaction 🙌🏻, I subscribed. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪, I’m a 48 year old ARMY. Borahae 💜!
Thanks for taking the time to learn to love our 7 angels… there is sooo much to each and everyone of them and you will slowly get to admire this 7 wonders of nature… JUST HAVE TO ❤️THEM 😊💜
Yes, I watched until the end. ARMY loves watching long videos. I see you have started watching The Rise of Bangtan which is an incredible series. You have started down the BTS rabbit hole so hang on because you won't come out any time soon. Keep posting your reactions so we can watch your journey.💜
I am new ARMY. I liked the songs I had heard from them but last month, I ended up having a freak infection that was shutting down my organs. I ended up taking a deeper dive into some BTS videos and it became the thing that kept my mind off the pain I was in. Every single song I have heard is incredibly thoughtful and the videos are absolute masterpieces when you get to the ones that all tie together. I feel so dumb for thinking their fanbase only really liked them because they are cute. They are so much more than just their looks. They are all incredible on their own but together, there are really no words to explain the magic they make. PLEASE watch more. They will change you for the better.
There are some upsetting things that werent mentioned in this guide, but im not surprised since it would have been even longer. In 2013, RM used to wear glasses (specifically sunglasses where you couldnt see his eyes) because he used to be ashamed of his eyes and "fans" often made fun of them. Also in 2013, J-Hope also used to wear a mask to cover his lower face because "fans" would make fun of how his face looked. In the end, there was nothing wrong RM's eyes nor Jhopes face. I felt so bad for them during that time, its expected to have hate but that kind of hate was never deserved (hate in general is never deserved). There is more and more than that, if youre planning on reacting to more, you should react to "BTS Hardships 2013-2021" by xCeleste! Love your reactions!
32:00 from 2011 to around 2021 they lived together starting from one room to big house, but they lived 10 years together, they themselves say that they feel like family more than with their own families, thay they spend 360 days a year together. They don't have any sort of jealousy towards eachother and success, cause god knows they have enough fame among eachother they don't need to be envious if someone has a bit more of it. They are the first to support when someone has successful project, or top 1 single or else. Cause in their mind success of one is reflected in success of a group
Long reactions Army loves them, we will stick thru te very end with you so don’t worry, you will never be alone at the end. Love your reaction. I’m 54 yrs old from the United States of America so thank you for your service. I could see your genuine reaction to BTS and am now subscribed, disregard any negative comments, we have a few bad apples in the bunch, but overall the Army’s are good people, never be afraid to give your honest opinion, we are all different and have our own likes or dislikes, we just respect honest reactions hope to see a lot more and join you in your journey with BTS 💜
Most of the people around us thinks we like these korean boys for looks... Of course they are handsome and beautiful but they are the most kindest... Humble... Caring and they know how to cherish everyone everything... When we save we love bts is goes vise versa they love us and cherish us too...
Made it to the end! Welcome to the purple rabbit hole! We’re so glad you’re here. Like the other Armys said, please ignore the rude commentors; they’re not true Army. We’re happy to answer any questions you might have and give suggestions on what you might like. 💜
Here to the end 😊 Enjoyed your reaction and your genuine nature. There's alot of guys in the Army, although majority Wimen. This really a bottom to the top story about 7 humble dudes and their company Big Hit. They did alot of things outside the Idol kpop box that helped to them, which has now become the standard for new Kpop groups (like vlogs from trainee days before debut). Recommend group: Black Swan, On- Kinetic Manifesto, Mic Drop, 1st MV- No More Dream (think some gave the link w/subtitles). They all have Official solo albums if you'd like a list of MV recommendations. 💜
Made it to the end!!! ARMY loves BTS and we tend to like long videos of the guys. You were very respectful through this reaction and I appreciated that. Thank you! Have fun learning about the guys, its definitely an experience!
Thank you for your beautiful reactions. There is so much more you learn about BTS daily even after watching this guide to BTS what it didn't state is that J hope at one point did not get fan mail and wanted to leave the group because he thought he was not loved enough but RM convinced him to stay and I am so proud of him for staying because J hope is one of my bias wreckers and honestly my favorite rapper in the world no shade to any other rapper. I love that you got to get to know each or the members and learn more about what they bring to us ARMY and others around the world. Can't wait to see more of your reactions to BTS 💜🫰
I am also new to army and my reactions were similar to yours "what can't they do?" But I am really struggling with the word "talent" because what i have seen so far is hard practice every day. All what they have achieved is based on hard work. I think this is inspiring - and one reason I started to follow them. Now I am waiting until 2025 for them to reunite. Good for me there is so much BTS stuff for me to explore until then 💜
BTS will find you when you need them most. 68 year old Army here I started down the rabbit hole while I was recovering from lung surgery. It’s Magic Shop that touched my heart after that I only listened to BTS music. Hope you enjoy your journey and welcome to the BTS world you won’t regret it. 💜💜💜
As an ARMY I have seen that video from beginning to the end over 100 times.. We will always be there for the whole video if you give respect to BTS - you don't have to LOVE them, you don't have to become ARMY, (or call yourself one even if you like some their music, if you don't want to,) but we support everyone, who genuinely gives respect to their talent, and especially how they are trying to spread positivity and support to anybody who might need it. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Purple whale knows I don't Love all of their songs, those songs message might not apply to me, or something, but I respect other fans who absolutely feel that those songs are best in their opinion. 💜 You got my follow. 💜
32yo mom army here 💜 Hope u also watch THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOMENT IN LIFE GOES ON 2022 by Rice Squad Taylor's guide is more members focused, while Rice squad's is more career focused. 🥳
This is new to me, wasn't familiar at all until the last video. Like you not something that I would notice, but hey I'm never too old to learn something new and I agree about the positive message and, wow if I had half their energy my life would be better. Going to dive in and watch the rest, they are talented that's for sure. Thank you for the video and commentary
Keep going with these guys, you have NO SHORTAGE of amazing content ahead. Music, lyrics, vocaks, visuals, funny stuff, behind the scenes stuff... its endless. Take that step off the edge into the rabbit hole and you will not be sorry
I watched to the end lol. I'm betting most people did. Every ARMY has seen this entire guide at least 50-100 times with each new person reacting to it. It never gets old because we love the boys so much. Signed, a 46 year old mom who works full-time and definitely does not have the time to watch this video 100+ times but if the boys can do all that they do, so can I 😂
Thank you for the reacting, I really liked your stories about military and stuff, keep going! Thank u for the hard work ❤❤❤❤ looking foward to your reactions 🎉
Glad you took time to get to know every member of BTS. There is so much content in YT - all their songs (music videos), Run BTS (variety show), In the Soop (Reality show - staycation), Bon Voyage (reality show - vacations), dance practices, music video sketches and so many other videos. Every content brings us so much free therapy. You will enjoy them very much.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Hi there you will find the Army will watch anything until the end no matter how long it is.... I would suggest using "enjoy BTS more" if you're interested in watching some of their clips from performances at cetera that will help you avoid copyright issues. Watching official MV from Big Hit is usually no problem as long as you play it from the beginning credits....and please always watch to the end so many reactors cut off and miss the point😢....if you look up lyrics you will find that there is often so much more to their message than meets the eye....and some of their songs have background discussions to explain the Korean meanings and references which add so much.....enjoy going down the rabbit hole💜💜💜💜💜
When we say bts is different from kpop well its a long story we will get to it slowly slowly... And when we say they are not just boy band... We actually mean it... They made you feel like home where you are free to be yourself, the comfort and family like atmosphere will make you feel calm and you will fall for them unintentionally ... Thanks for listening to them, doing reactions... Lets go for a beautiful journey 💜💜💜
I think Dynamite is a good opener for new people. It doesn't showcase what they really can do, but it's a gateway for people. So I think that is fine. It's also very 'general public' friendly, so it makes sense for people to find it first.
Just subscribed here. Of course I made it to the end! Armys LOVE long quality videos. BTS is often referred to as “K-Pop” and “Boy Band” by the media. Particularly regarding awards, music coming out of South Korea is frequently awarded only under the title K-Pop. Jungkook was actually only 13 when he joined BTS, but his age is most commonly referred to by the Korean age system. Last, for now, currently BTS has over 1000 awards. Welcome to the rabbit hole, I purple you! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Long reactions are perfectly okay with ARMY. I'm 85 years old and BTS means so much to me. I'm so grateful that I found them when I did. I look forward to watching more reactions. As you learn more about their music and their personalities, you'll find that they are a very special group. 💜💜
Thanks, can’t wait to see more!
Hello ARMY I am also glad found them 💜💜💜
Great 👍
Love this comment. I am 56 years old and BTS found me at a critical time in my life. Borahae!
I purple you !!!!!!!! 💜
Of course we made it to the end. The real ARMYS ( which is about 99%) of us love watching reactions to BTS and getting to know you as well. Thanks for your reaction! Borahae from a 53 yo woman in California 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks!
We always make it till the end, ,if the person who watches it shows if not appreciation,at least real interest!🫰🏻
True 🫰
We definitely made it to the end! ARMY loves watching new reactions to BTS. Looks like you’re a baby ARMY, now. Welcome to the family! 💜
Yes RM is genius level, and he uses it in his music too. When you really break down his lyrics it's rather mind blowing how he uses words and gives things even more meanings
I was amazed by that. Crazy smart and talented.
@@555VibesThere’s a rap line song they made as a gift to fans, Ddaeng, where according to a popular explanation video he uses 7 different meanings for the word in a single verse.
always turn on CC as you will get so much in the lyrics. Plus, Suga and RM rap REALLY fast @times, you will have to pause. Another tip, most of the bigger videos have explanation videos too. Important must watch are Idol, and Spring Day. In fact watch the explanation video for Spring Day first as I have seen many people get in trouble if they don't know what the song is for.
Please continue your journey with BTS. I am a 58 year old ARMY. One of the things I love about BTS is that they are ‘Good People.’
There is a saying”You don’t find BTS. They find you when you need them most.” They definitely found me and I am so grateful. 💜
That’s amazing 🙂
I think the main reason people say BTS isn't a "boy band" is because there tends to be a negative connotation to it and we don't want people to misunderstand the level of artistry. As for not being k-pop, they have even said they're k-pop, but a lot of ARMY are only fans of BTS, not other groups considered k-pop. Also k-pop is a label that again feels a little restrictive, and BTS are global artists. Personally, I don't take offense to either unless it's used in a negative, stereotypical, sort of way.
Very well said.
Well said... i always just say, BTS is not the typical boyband, and is now more than just KPop.
Yeah, those words aren't bad in itself and can definitely apply to BTS. Although we know they're much more than that. Real Armys stay respectful and spread positivity 💜
Yes they are kpop but not just kpop. They are more than that
Well said. They are just labels used to classify certain types of bands, or style of music from a particular country of origin.
As for Rolling Stone's list of "The Greatest Boy Band Songs Of All Time", in includes song by the likes of Metellica, and The Rolling Stones- not groups you would normally associate with the term 'boy band'. There I think they are simply referring to groups that solely have males in their lineups. In that case the term is accurate, and doesn't bear the negative connotations.💜🤔
And considering the other groups on that list, number 5 is an incredible achievement. Nor is it the only BTS song to make the list, there are several others; but moon is definitely the highest.💜
BTS = The most humble and talented group. They are amazing. Enjoy your BTS ride
Hi dear. 68yo Army here. Of course we watched all the way to the end...and we've all seen this dozens of times. One of Army's greatest pleasures is watching someone react to this for the first time...and you did not disappoint. (Yeah, I can speak for everyone. Yeah, I'm arrogant like that) You were respectful and attentive and openminded. Well done, sir.
Thank you for you kindness, I appreciate that.
@@555Vibes 💜
@555Vibes I'm right there with you hun. Most of us are nice, but we do protect our guys. I've had a few that said this video was copyrighted so they Had to put on patreon...which is BS....those are the ones we call Out and spread the word on ,as they are using the guys to make money and that's all...
What you might have missed, many do, is the guys were just kids theirselfs at the time.
12,14,15,16 when they started in 2011 training. JK was really the youngest, from 2011 when he went to the dorm to start training till debuted in 2013 at 15 so yeah, they are family and RM, Jin, Jhope and Suga raised him, Taehyung and Jimin. While they were just teens.
People get all up about they are too physical with each other, it's a different culture, they don't touch the opposite sex, don't make out ,hold hands, kiss like in the USA...yes they are multi talented. Their culture is Education and being the Best in everything you can. It's a big difference than Western ways.
Thank you for your kind reaction, while your watching BTS, Army's will be around. Any question just ask, you'll get an answer.
Enjoy your adventure!!!
❤💜💜💜💜💜💜💜❤
Wonderfully written @rgo! Thank you so much. I purple you 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
@@rgober60 In Korea they have a culture of what is called "skinship" where members of the same sex are very physically affectionate with one another, starting from childhood.
I probably watched this multiple times through other reactors and I never tire of it. And you will find most of us won’t mind long reactions. Their music is top notch but more importantly they are good people despite their hardships and struggles. So much has happened since this video and I hope you will go through your own journey discovering them. I don’t think there’s a wrong way to do it. If your reactions are genuine, we will encourage and suggest more without being critical. Even I don’t like all the songs equally. Have fun on this journey! 💜
Thank you. Appreciate that.
Same! I love watching new peoples reaction to the guys!
Thank you for your genuine reaction and open mind. Sadly the small toxic portion that likes to leave nasty comments about every and any little thing tends to be the loudest. Most are not even ARMY and they def don’t represent the majority of us. Hope you enjoy your journey Thru this rabbit hole. They have so much content and IMO everything they do is better live, I’ve yet to be disappointed. 💜💜💜
Thanks. I see all the positive and genuine people in the comments, same as I saw in this video. 🙂
Absolutely made it to the end. 50 yr old ARMY here from the US. Enjoy your journey and please go at your own pace. There is a lot to take in. You may not like it all and a friendly reminder that that is OK. 🙂
Appreciate you! Thanks.
Agreed. There are always songs that you resonate with more, and some less. Some videos you find hilarious, and some that can leave you scratching your head. And that is perfectly fine.💜
All we ask is that you are honest and respectful. If you are, we'll be by your side during your journey. 💜
The amount of time I’ve said “Wow” when it comes to my 5 year BTS journey is in the thousands so hearing you say it over and over felt relatable! Enjoy this amazing rabbit hole!
Sounds like I might be there with you on the “wows”. Thanks.
BTS, one of the best things that ever happened in my life - i cant thank them enough!! and ARMYs? i have family all over the world. i feel that! 💜
That’s amazing!
I’ve been following BTS since 2014 I’m now 54yrs, my journey started because of their great personalities, amazing performances and wonderful messages in their lyrics💜
Think of them as a vocal group. They surpassed being a boy band in their diversity of music. They have started a movement in loving yourself and helping others.
Welcome "baby" Army. Army can be a bit too passionate at times, too protective as well, but the majority of us want to help you with this journey.
Borahae 💜💜
Thanks, I appreciate that.
Don't worry too much about calling them kpop or a boy band. Even BTS has referred to themselves as a kpop boy band. I think what fans mean when they say don't refer to them as both these things is that can be a limiting description for BTS as a group. Even RM has stated he doesn't want to limit their hearts and their music to the term kpop. Like a lot of the stereotypes applied to western boy bands don't necessarily apply to BTS and the same goes for a lot of the stereotypes about kpop in general. Both Jimin and Jungkook are from Busan and it's actually where they performed their last concert with all 7 members before they started to enlist in the military. And fun fact the concert was completely free to attend.
And yes I made it to the end. Trust me ARMY don't care how long BTS reaction videos are. We've watched much longer videos than this one before. I've probably watched this introduction to BTS video at least 50 times (if not more) due to all the reactions I've watched to it. The longest BTS reaction video I've watched was 7 hours long (yes I took breaks), it was a reaction to all their music videos in order.
I would also like to add that they will be back as a group in 2025
@@Hbora0613 2025 will be a great year.
Don’t worry about the long video - ARMY don’t mind at all. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our boys. They are very unique not only in their music, but in the impact they have had on so many people. I have been ARMY since they debuted, first discovering them through their pre-debut vlogs on RUclips. I had been into Kpop for some years but these guys just intrigued me. Their honesty and openness is unparalleled. They share so much with their fans. I really hope you dive more into their diverse discography as well as watching some of the videos that show their personalities. You mentioned at one point that they are “family” and you are correct. Until very recently all the guys still lived together and have likened themselves to brothers. There is a ton of content out there to watch so I am looking forward to going on this journey with you. As for some of the “bad” comments you received on your last video, please don’t think that is indicative of the fandom - true fans will not act this way. Welcome to our ARMY family - we will always be here to guide and support you. Borahae 💜💜💜🇦🇺
Thanks so much and I appreciate your kind words.
They are a phenomenon. The right man put together the right boys at the right time and gave them the right platform to shoot to stardom. Their concerts are amazing. They are humble brothers, each unique and enormously multi-talented. If you started watching all their content online you'd still be here next years. While other entertainers "hide" away for their privacy, BTS has put themselves on full display and invited Army into their lives on a near daily basis.. the result is fans (of all ages, from all over the world) consider them friends and love them... it is an interesting concept from start to now. They will be fulfilling their military service obligations through 2025 and intend to come back together!
I love how humble they were in this video. I appreciate good character.
There was nothing wrong with doing Dynamite first! It’s the song that gave them their first #1 on the Billboard 100. And their first Grammy nomination!
Thank you so much for continuing to react to the guys. ARMY can get a bit intense sometimes and people will always have different opinions about how to go about exploring BTS. The truth is, a lot of people react to Dynamite or Butter first because those are their most popular, easy to digest songs for new viewers who are not used to K-pop yet.
Even so, most ARMYs are just excited to introduce you to their favorite group and show you why BTS is so important to us, so I hope you don’t take any rude or pushy comments to heart. We’re mostly just excited and happy that you’re interested!
Thank you for reacting to this! This is one of the best guides I’ve seen to showcase BTS’s talents and personalities. I hope that you continue to give them a shot💜
Thanks and yes, I’m excited to see more.
armys will watch no matter how long it takes, no matter what many times we've watched this because we love seeing people falling for BTS because they deserve all the love.
Made it to the end, like always, we love watching new people fall for them and realize they are so so much more than your typical boy band. Haven't read through the other comments, but they are currently dropping their solo works as they start trickling into mandatory military service. So far J-Hope, Joon, Jimin, & Yoongi have dropped complete albums, JK & Jin have dropped singles with JK saying a full album is coming later in the year, & Tae is fixing to drop a full album next month. With their solo works you can see the individuality of each member and can truly appreciate their broad range of talents. All that to say welcome to the rabbit hole and enjoy your ride. 😊
Thanks! I’m definitely looking forward to seeing some solo stuff after getting to know them.
If you want to know more about bts i recommend to watch the most beautiful life goes on a story of bts 2023 update it's really good he explained so well💜 and bts hardships 2013-2021
Boa recomendação
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
Fun fact abt RM is that he once did a virtual house tour recently and his house looks like an art museum. He _really_ likes fine arts and wants to open a space, like a cafe, one day that'll let ppl view his collection.
He donates to preserve Korean pieces and artifacts in foreign museums and has lent his voice to narrating for the Korean exhibition at LACMA.
They are the most beautiful people I’ve ever come across even without ever meeting them in person (if you don’t count the concerts I’ve attended). We army always stay for any BTS reactions to the end 😀💜💜 and thanks for taking the time reacting to this. Much appreciated. Looking forward on your next reaction
Thank you 🙂
It's okay. They debuted in 2013. Hehe! I hope you'll get to know them well.
As an ARMY, I will say this, we welcome new people who will admire and truly respect BTS, not just for their music, but respect them as a team and as brothers.
Welcome! Agree on positivity, we need more of it. I bet a fair number of us are still here at the end. :)
🙂
You bet I watched this all the way through and for the 20th plus time. This time with you and I will watch it again and again as new people react to it. Thank you so much for giving me another oportunity to do so and I enjoyed your reaction. I'm a 57 yr old baby silver ARMY who was found by BTS last year. (They find you when you need them). Just wait until you start hearing the stories from those of us who's lives were saved by BTS. There are millions of us.💜
That’s amazing. Thanks!
I guarantee you that most of the people who tuned in for this reaction stayed for all of it.
ARMYs love long videos and reactions. You don't ever need to be concerned about people staying if you do a long reaction video. Especially when you react to the 2019 MMA award show cuz that's about 40 minutes long and you will have a huge viewership guaranteed.
Thanks, appreciate that. 🙂
I’m so glad you watched this and since this video was made they’ve done so much more both as solo artists and as a group but unfortunately they’ve started enlisting in the military which is mandatory in Korea so they won’t be together as a group again until 2025 but like I’ve said they’ve done a lot since this video and have left us with plenty to listen to till then. 💜 They have also broken multiple records including some of Michael Jackson’s and the Beatles.
Thanks for sharing your genuine thoughts with us 💜🇺🇸🙏. Like Suga said “when ever you found BTS, is the date BTS debut for you”. Looking forward to seeing more of your reactions🫠.
Thanks. Better late than never!
Thanks for watching this and appreciating the gift that is BTS.
There is so much more for you to experience. I'm excited for you, and confident you'll end up loving them as much as we do!
Appreciate that, thanks!
Made it to the end. We actually do like long videos. We enjoy watching people learn about BTS and become Army.
BTS is family. The brothers lived together for almost 10 years until they finally got their own place in 2020/2021. The youngest is JK and he was 13 years old when he joined. He was basically raised by the older brothers. I personally believe JK is a manifestation of the 6 brothers. He has all their skills.
Here is two links to Army singing Young Forever to BTS. Both have different views but you can hear Army singing. Enjoy.

Thanks so much, appreciate the links.
Listening to and watching BTS will always leave you smiling! They are just amazing! Not only are their sound and vocals crazy good but also their choreography and dance skills! It always starts with one or two videos then you are hooked! I recommend Tiny desk concert next then maybe check out some live shows! The energy they give off on stage is ridiculous! I look forward to your next reaction!
RM’s high IQ is probably why he could learn English from watching TV shows? That would be incredibly hard, and his level of fluency and usage is very good, so it would take a very smart person.
It seems to be a common way a lot of people learn English. But usually it's over a span of many years doing so, but RM learned it by only watching the entire series 3 times.
Apparently he also studied English in New Zealand, he was there for 4 months when he was 12.
@@djlivvy46 Interesting. That would be very helpful, I’m sure. His accent sounds very American.
Jungkook and Jimin are both from Busan! Thank you for your reaction and for given the guys a chance! 💜
I am a caucasian 71 year old 8th generation American. ARMY since 2016. Thank you for joining ARMY. I don't care if they sing in Korean. Japanese, or English.
Hello from Paris - France. Thank you for your positive reaction to the 7 Bangtan boys. I could be their mother - even grandmother maybe - but support them since 2016. They are awesome very talented young men and amazing performers. You won’t be long before falling into their rabbit hole! I purple you 💜 😊
Thanks Sara. Shout out to 🇫🇷
Thank you for watching and reacting to the Guide! Yes, most ARMYs will make it to the end, as did I. I learned about BTS in March 2022, and have been a 53 year old ARMY ever since then. These young men are each amazingly talented on their own and bring about an unsurpassed level of excellence when put together in this group. I was never into rap, boy bands, or any particular group until I found out about BTS. Now, I just love watching their dance and listening to their music and it has helped to calm me and brought me through some tough times already this year, while healing from A-Fib ablation surgery and from a broken leg surgery. I am so thankful for their sweet music while I was unable to work for a couple months. I hope you will continue this journey and react to more BTS songs.💜Borahae💜
Thanks so much! I hope you’re recovering well. 🙏🙂
Thanks for checking out BTS. The 7 members are all talented, motivational and inspirational. Please react also to their other documentary videos to know them better like 1. The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS ( this is about their journey from beginning to present, how they are formed, from their first album to the latest), 2. Xceleste Introduction to BTS (as a group). Continue what you’re doing. You’re doing a good job. See you soon on your next BTS reaction.
Thanks, I think I’d like to watch these first before anymore music.

71 year old Army here. I think some Armys say that it's not Kpop because BTS has moved beyond Kpop and has become a global phenomenon. They have pretty much left Kpop in the dust and no one in Kpop has come even close to their achievements. Also, their music is very heavy and deep compared to the common superficial poppy stuff. They are on another level and have an very close connection to Army. 💜
a respectful and open-minded reactor, willing to know more about the boys is always a 👍🏼 in our books. somehow, it really shows when a reactor is sincere. so thank you! 💜 welcome to the rabbit hole!
ps. yes i stayed until the end 😉
I appreciate that, thanks for your kindness.
46yo ARMY here 💜 Looking forward to you becoming ARMY too 😊💜 Don't worry about the length of the videos with BTS. We love genuine interest in BTS and reactions to their work no matter how long 💜💜💜
Thanks, appreciate that. I’m looking forward to much more.
Dynamite was made during pandemic, and was ment to cheer us up by being in lockdown, this song was also a homage to Michael Jacksson
51:53 oh don't worry, army actually love long videos😂😂💜💜💜
Helpful hint for the guide: Not sure if you know.... Korean people used to count age differently to others...
Korean Age vs International Age - difference is 1-2 years depending on if their birthday has been.... In most older videos, including this guide, they are giving Korean ages so you will need to adjust.
So, The members were only 13-18 years old when they became trainees and 15-20 yo when they debuted.
In Korea when you were born you were considered 1 year old. Then on Korean new year every year you added another year to your age, no matter what your birthdate is. ....
Year of birth - International age at Debut on 13June13 (Year and age became trainee)
Jin 1992 - 20 yo (2011 - 18yo)
Suga 1993- 20 yo (2011 - 17yo) Suga started with MIDI at 11
JHope 1994 - 19 yo (2011 - 17yo)JHope started dancing at 8
RM 1994 - 18 yo (2010 - 15yo) RM started rapping at 11 and was well known in the underground scene at 13
Jimin 1995 - 17 yo (2012 - 16yo)
V 1995 - 17 yo (2011 - 15yo)
JK 1997 - 15 yo (2011 - 13yo) JK signed with big hit at 13yo
Rule of thumb for older videos - if it's before their birthday - subtract 2 years to get international age. if it's after their birthday - subtract 1 year to get their international age.
EG: TaeHyung (V) born 30 Dec 1995 ...... current International Age 27 (Korean Age 29). ... 2 years difference
So Tae born 30 Dec 95 is 1 year old, then on 01 Jan 96 he is 1 more year older (so they would say he is 2 years old, when we would say he is 2 days old.)
So he was considered 29 in Korea since 01 January, we would say he is 27 turning 28 in Dec.
It's a different way of looking at age, from new years day - Tae is living his 29th year (since conception) - instead of - he turned 27 (since birth)....
The Korean Government has recently (June28) brought in international age as the standard in Korea, but all older videos/ interviews/ shows, will be referencing Korean age.
💜Have a great day... sending greetings from Australia.
Thank you, I appreciate the info. 🙏 shout out to 🇦🇺
Thanks for watching my video! And thanks to the ARMYs who keep suggesting it to people! Hope it helps everyone learn more about how great BTS are 🫶🏼
Very well made video! Thank you, I really enjoyed it. 🙂
1000 thanks to you Taylor! Your Guide is so beautifull. i watched it on hundreds of reaction channels already. borahae 💜
They started as a K-POP group and still technically are, but they transcended beyond that and are now worldwide famous. There songs have topped charts all over the world. They have really created a genre all to themselves. Labeling them K-POP should not bother anyone. These seven artistic geniuses began as K-POP artists. I’m sure they are proud of their roots and no doubt their country is proud of them. 💜
I made it all the way to the end. Well done and welcome to ARMY! It stands for Adorable Representative MC for Youth. If you want to get an idea of BTS's discography, watch BTS 2021, Room Live FESTA. It's a medley of their songs starting from the old to the new. You'll get a flavor for BTS's musical versatility and diversity. I'm a 63 yr old ARMY and love these young men. They're my fountain of youth. Borahae 💜💜
Thanks Robert, I appreciate that. Nothing wrong with a little fountain of youth. 🙂
Army will alsways watched until the end of the video, thats how we support new reactors. Ive watched this Guide 50x already hahaha to watch with the new reactors. Welcome to BTS rabbithole. Yes I agree, they the most humble and genuine people. They always intreract with their fans thru live, even if oyher members jpined the military they always make sure that Army are updated. We love them so much. Thank you for your beautiful reaction. Borahae.💜💜💜
Thank you!
I am here at the end to say that I enjoyed your reaction. I am 59 yr old ARMY and cannot count just how many times I have watched reactions to this and other videos. Our favourite thing is being able to see the discovery and growing appreciation for the boys by new reactors and then sharing it over and over again with them as they become army too
I, as an ARMY, am happy that you got to understand the reasons why we stan BTS. Not only do they spread love and enjoyment through their music but most especially they convey positivity and unbiased acceptance of everybody despite haters who try their darndest to bring their spirits down. We await their comeback in 2025 as a group. BTS HWAITING!!! BTS SARANGHAE AND BORAHAE!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
You have fallen into the rabbit hole…You could watch videos for the next 5 years and STILL not see everything there is to these guys…I’m 58 and have my own story as most do…but I don’t listen to any other music now…their work ethic is unmatched….everytime they are knocked down they fight that much harder..when you see what good people they are you can’t help but support them…you will meet some incredible people in this fandom (and some real psychos unfortunately) but I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything💜💜💜
That’s amazing!
Stayed until the very end! Let ARMY know what type of music you're into, so we can make recommendations on which BTS content you should begin with (or if you'd prefer going chronologically). Also, you may enjoy getting to know the members' personalities by watching their reality shows: RUN BTS, Bon Voyage, In the Soop. At the end of each of your videos, you could let us know which video/performance you'll react to next, so we can give some suggestions on which version (MV, Live, Mix Stage, etc.) we prefer, or we can give you some background information regarding the song. 💜💜💜
Thanks, honestly since starting this channel I’ve realized I don’t have a specific type of music. I appreciate anything I think is good and I certainly appreciate anything that brings people together. I’ll just listen to recommendations and see where it takes me.
@@555Vibes- that type of open mindedness is perfect for BTS content, since we never know where they will take us! 💜

2 minutes in and your genuineness is already clear, we love that. Bc if you have an open mind and you’re interested, you’ll fall in love with these guys, we’re confident😌 thanks for your reaction!
I appreciate that! Thanks for the nice comment.
@@555Vibes you’re so welcome, can’t wait for more! Subscribed💜
I’m 71 years old and happy to be Army. BTS makes me so totally happy. Thank you for getting to know them, you shall discover how amazing they are. I first saw them at the Billboard on May 20, 2018 and said who are this 7 young man and started searching on RUclips, Twitter, IG, information about them then I heard the song by BTS named “Fire” and from that moment I became Army. The only thing I regret is no knowing them from the start but I went back in time to see their early growth and now I totally know them. So I hope you enjoy your journey with BTS. 💜💜💜
Thanks so much!
BTS was there when we did not expect it.
We found them.. they found us.
Let's continue to be there to each other and to the boyz.. till 2025 we'll be waiting..
We'll still be the same.
ARMY lets be strong..💜
I’m 57 and have been army for over 5 years. My daughter introduced me to them and I’ve been a fan ever since. Look forward to you exploring more about their music, personalities and solo projects as well as group live performances 💜
I'm a 72 yo California grandmother who found BTS in 2019 and went down the rabbit hole. I love the positivity and kindness they spread globally to the younger generation. They give me hope that that my grandkids might live in a better world. I've seen this so many times, but I never tire of it. Enjoy your journey!
That’s great hope to have 🙂
We don’t mind watching BTS content until the end 💜
Thank you for learning more about BTS, we’re here for it!
Thanks 🙂
ARMY have seen this documentary by Taylor countless of times and we absolutely enjoy watching it all over again when someone new just discovered BTS. :)
I actually watched your video to the end... ARMY are used to those and we don't mind it, as long as reactors show genuine interest in BTS. Hope you explore more of their music. MVs, live performances and other contents. This 55 yo ARMY says THANK YOU for giving BTS a chance. Looking forward to your future BTS reactions. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks Brenda!
I have watched this all the way through so many times. I enjoyed your reaction. If you want positivity, you have come to the right place. There is a reason they are the most popular group in the world.
That’s a good reason to be popular in my book! Besides all of the other reasons of course.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 ARMY until the end. We love it all. The longer the video the better! Welcome to the rabbit hole. Take our hands, we know the way! 💜Gigi
Thanks Gigi!
Made it to the end. 60yo ARMY here and I will be forever grateful to BTS. I am still alive because of them and their positivity. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to following you and your BTS journey. They are truly one (seven) of a kind.
That’s amazing and thank you! 🙂
BTS is incredible. I’m a 40 year old mother who has never been a fan of any boy groups, even back in my teens. In fact, I’ve never been a “fan” of anyone before. I have music I like, of course, but I wasn’t particularly interested in the artist behind it. My husband and I looked up BTS about a year and a half ago because we kept hearing references to them but didn’t know who they were. I can’t even recall what video(s) I watched but I know I watched a few then a few more and then a few more and here I am 😂 Their performances, their lyrics, their personalities, just something about all of it…it’s just FUN. I wish I could remember what my first videos were or knew what my reactions were but I don’t remember anything at all. I just fell down the rabbit hole without even knowing that’s what I was doing.
Thanks for sharing your story, I love reading them. Really cool hearing the different ways people found BTS.
Definitely made it to the end and enjoyed your reaction. You approached it with an open mind and open heart, unlike so many that judge BTS without knowing anything about them beyond one or two songs. I am happy to subscribe and follow your BTS journey. BTS & ARMY give me so much hope for future generations because both do so much for the planet and humanity.....on top of their amazing musical skillset. They are genuinely 7 superstars who raise each other and ARMY up on a daily basis. Best thing I ever did was become ARMY. Thank you for reacting.
Thank you Taylor! 🙂
I can watch anything BTS related for hours upon hours 😂..! Great reaction 🙌🏻, I subscribed. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪, I’m a 48 year old ARMY. Borahae 💜!
Thanks so much. Shout out to 🇸🇪
Thanks for taking the time to learn to love our 7 angels… there is sooo much to each and everyone of them and you will slowly get to admire this 7 wonders of nature… JUST HAVE TO ❤️THEM 😊💜
I’m really enjoying this!
Watched it till the end. Enjoyed your reaction. Looking forward to your continued rabbit hole journey with BTS.
Yes, I watched until the end. ARMY loves watching long videos. I see you have started watching The Rise of Bangtan which is an incredible series. You have started down the BTS rabbit hole so hang on because you won't come out any time soon. Keep posting your reactions so we can watch your journey.💜
I am new ARMY. I liked the songs I had heard from them but last month, I ended up having a freak infection that was shutting down my organs. I ended up taking a deeper dive into some BTS videos and it became the thing that kept my mind off the pain I was in. Every single song I have heard is incredibly thoughtful and the videos are absolute masterpieces when you get to the ones that all tie together. I feel so dumb for thinking their fanbase only really liked them because they are cute. They are so much more than just their looks. They are all incredible on their own but together, there are really no words to explain the magic they make. PLEASE watch more. They will change you for the better.
That’s Amazing! Hope you’re doing well now. I’m definitely watching more!
@@555Vibes much better. :) still down 40 lbs since June but that's not a bad thing. lol
There are some upsetting things that werent mentioned in this guide, but im not surprised since it would have been even longer. In 2013, RM used to wear glasses (specifically sunglasses where you couldnt see his eyes) because he used to be ashamed of his eyes and "fans" often made fun of them. Also in 2013, J-Hope also used to wear a mask to cover his lower face because "fans" would make fun of how his face looked. In the end, there was nothing wrong RM's eyes nor Jhopes face. I felt so bad for them during that time, its expected to have hate but that kind of hate was never deserved (hate in general is never deserved). There is more and more than that, if youre planning on reacting to more, you should react to "BTS Hardships 2013-2021" by xCeleste! Love your reactions!
Thanks, I’ll definitely check that out.
32:00 from 2011 to around 2021 they lived together starting from one room to big house, but they lived 10 years together, they themselves say that they feel like family more than with their own families, thay they spend 360 days a year together. They don't have any sort of jealousy towards eachother and success, cause god knows they have enough fame among eachother they don't need to be envious if someone has a bit more of it. They are the first to support when someone has successful project, or top 1 single or else. Cause in their mind success of one is reflected in success of a group
Long reactions Army loves them, we will stick thru te very end with you so don’t worry, you will never be alone at the end.
Love your reaction. I’m 54 yrs old from the United States of America so thank you for your service. I could see your genuine reaction to BTS and am now subscribed, disregard any negative comments, we have a few bad apples in the bunch, but overall the Army’s are good people, never be afraid to give your honest opinion, we are all different and have our own likes or dislikes, we just respect honest reactions hope to see a lot more and join you in your journey with BTS 💜
Thank you!
My husband and I became an Army because of who the guys are, not just their amazing music. Great reaction!
Most of the people around us thinks we like these korean boys for looks... Of course they are handsome and beautiful but they are the most kindest... Humble... Caring and they know how to cherish everyone everything... When we save we love bts is goes vise versa they love us and cherish us too...
Army always makes it to the end, no matter how many times we have seen the video. It is always a joy watching people discover BTS.
I made it till the end because I requested it, thank you so much, hope you can enjoy BTS contents they're funny af and the discography are insane💜
Thank you for recommending it, I really enjoyed watching this.
Made it to the end! Welcome to the purple rabbit hole! We’re so glad you’re here. Like the other Armys said, please ignore the rude commentors; they’re not true Army. We’re happy to answer any questions you might have and give suggestions on what you might like. 💜
🙂
Here to the end 😊 Enjoyed your reaction and your genuine nature. There's alot of guys in the Army, although majority Wimen. This really a bottom to the top story about 7 humble dudes and their company Big Hit. They did alot of things outside the Idol kpop box that helped to them, which has now become the standard for new Kpop groups (like vlogs from trainee days before debut). Recommend group: Black Swan, On- Kinetic Manifesto, Mic Drop, 1st MV- No More Dream (think some gave the link w/subtitles). They all have Official solo albums if you'd like a list of MV recommendations. 💜
Thanks. After I learn more about them and see more videos I’d definitely love to see some solo stuff as well.
Made it to the end!!! ARMY loves BTS and we tend to like long videos of the guys. You were very respectful through this reaction and I appreciated that. Thank you!
Have fun learning about the guys, its definitely an experience!
Awesome. Loved watching it.
Me too made to the end!!! Great reaction!!!! Thank you!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for your beautiful reactions. There is so much more you learn about BTS daily even after watching this guide to BTS what it didn't state is that J hope at one point did not get fan mail and wanted to leave the group because he thought he was not loved enough but RM convinced him to stay and I am so proud of him for staying because J hope is one of my bias wreckers and honestly my favorite rapper in the world no shade to any other rapper. I love that you got to get to know each or the members and learn more about what they bring to us ARMY and others around the world. Can't wait to see more of your reactions to BTS 💜🫰
I am also new to army and my reactions were similar to yours "what can't they do?" But I am really struggling with the word "talent" because what i have seen so far is hard practice every day. All what they have achieved is based on hard work. I think this is inspiring - and one reason I started to follow them. Now I am waiting until 2025 for them to reunite. Good for me there is so much BTS stuff for me to explore until then 💜
BTS is a true positive force in this world, they have helped many, many people around the world.
BTS will find you when you need them most. 68 year old Army here I started down the rabbit hole while I was recovering from lung surgery. It’s Magic Shop that touched my heart after that I only listened to BTS music. Hope you enjoy your journey and welcome to the BTS world you won’t regret it. 💜💜💜
🙂
As an ARMY I have seen that video from beginning to the end over 100 times.. We will always be there for the whole video if you give respect to BTS - you don't have to LOVE them, you don't have to become ARMY, (or call yourself one even if you like some their music, if you don't want to,) but we support everyone, who genuinely gives respect to their talent, and especially how they are trying to spread positivity and support to anybody who might need it. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Purple whale knows I don't Love all of their songs, those songs message might not apply to me, or something, but I respect other fans who absolutely feel that those songs are best in their opinion. 💜
You got my follow. 💜
60 year old army here, watched till the end! Love your reaction!! Subscribed for more BTS reactions please!! 💜
Thank you!
32yo mom army here 💜
Hope u also watch
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOMENT IN LIFE GOES ON 2022 by Rice Squad
Taylor's guide is more members focused, while Rice squad's is more career focused. 🥳
Thanks, I’ll definitely watch that.
This is new to me, wasn't familiar at all until the last video. Like you not something that I would notice, but hey I'm never too old to learn something new and I agree about the positive message and, wow if I had half their energy my life would be better. Going to dive in and watch the rest, they are talented that's for sure. Thank you for the video and commentary
Keep going with these guys, you have NO SHORTAGE of amazing content ahead. Music, lyrics, vocaks, visuals, funny stuff, behind the scenes stuff... its endless. Take that step off the edge into the rabbit hole and you will not be sorry
Army always stays until the end 😉 Glad you enjoyed this guide. Best wishes and have a great time discovering our beloved Bangtan Sonyeondan! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you!
I watched to the end lol. I'm betting most people did. Every ARMY has seen this entire guide at least 50-100 times with each new person reacting to it. It never gets old because we love the boys so much. Signed, a 46 year old mom who works full-time and definitely does not have the time to watch this video 100+ times but if the boys can do all that they do, so can I 😂
That’s Amazing! Thank you.
Thank you for the reacting, I really liked your stories about military and stuff, keep going! Thank u for the hard work ❤❤❤❤ looking foward to your reactions 🎉
Thanks Carolyn!
Glad you took time to get to know every member of BTS. There is so much content in YT - all their songs (music videos), Run BTS (variety show), In the Soop (Reality show - staycation), Bon Voyage (reality show - vacations), dance practices, music video sketches and so many other videos. Every content brings us so much free therapy. You will enjoy them very much.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Can’t wait to see more!
Hi there you will find the Army will watch anything until the end no matter how long it is.... I would suggest using "enjoy BTS more" if you're interested in watching some of their clips from performances at cetera that will help you avoid copyright issues. Watching official MV from Big Hit is usually no problem as long as you play it from the beginning credits....and please always watch to the end so many reactors cut off and miss the point😢....if you look up lyrics you will find that there is often so much more to their message than meets the eye....and some of their songs have background discussions to explain the Korean meanings and references which add so much.....enjoy going down the rabbit hole💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you. Looking forward to it.
Use doolsetbangtan for lyrics
When we say bts is different from kpop well its a long story we will get to it slowly slowly...
And when we say they are not just boy band... We actually mean it... They made you feel like home where you are free to be yourself, the comfort and family like atmosphere will make you feel calm and you will fall for them unintentionally ...
Thanks for listening to them, doing reactions... Lets go for a beautiful journey 💜💜💜
Thanks, appreciate that. Looking forward to much more!
I think Dynamite is a good opener for new people. It doesn't showcase what they really can do, but it's a gateway for people. So I think that is fine. It's also very 'general public' friendly, so it makes sense for people to find it first.
Just subscribed here. Of course I made it to the end! Armys LOVE long quality videos. BTS is often referred to as “K-Pop” and “Boy Band” by the media. Particularly regarding awards, music coming out of South Korea is frequently awarded only under the title K-Pop. Jungkook was actually only 13 when he joined BTS, but his age is most commonly referred to by the Korean age system. Last, for now, currently BTS has over 1000 awards. Welcome to the rabbit hole, I purple you! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Oh yeah. I’m a 75 year old American woman who has been living in Europe for 35 years. I became Army in 2017.
That’s amazing. Thanks!
