I actually think that not associating the series directly with BTS might have been a conscious decision to attract a new audience that might be into K-dramas but not BTS or even K-pop in general. I think HYBE is experimenting with different platforms to see where they can expand organically. I wonder if they will eventually create their own streaming platform. Seems like they are experimenting with a variety of things like gaming, etc. as well...
BIG HIT/HYBE BANG PD and BTS are smart and forward thinkers. Great ideas and business ventures for their stable and formidable, sustainable future infact they doing it now even if they are serving they are still releasing new songs staying relevant. Great job BTS. Thank you for your time and effort in every vidro you make. More power to your channel.❤🎉
I thought the series was going to stream on Netflix or Prime. Not familiar with Xclusive and because of the extra cost and adding my personal information on yet another platform and since I won't actually be watching the members themselves, I have no desire to get it. I'll rely on you and the subscribers comments to stay in the loop. With that being said I will ofcourse continue to listen to and purchase their music and support them in their individual projects. Author, you are a wealth of information, thank you for keeping us informed and continued success to, Bighit/BTS and the growth of Hybe. Also, this fabulous channel. Blessings! 😘
I was listening to some of the younger brother groups of BTS today... still there is no comparison to me. BTS deals with issues and creates converstions from thier writing. Maybe I missed it but from what I have seen the yonger groups deal with what all other singers do... just love, seduction, sex and so. I like songs that make me think and relfect on what I am experiencing... like reading a good book. Now, this doesn't mean I don't like songs that are fun like Apnanman and Boys with Fun... everyone needs a to experience a good times too but they still speak to me. I really love BTS and the stories they tell from experience which I find lacking in other korean groups. I need to check out the older kpop musicians who also tell stories in their music.
Thank u. I have not the faints idea what its all about, bc I'm not up on the latest streaming tech. Lol. But thank u. Gods blessing I will learn something new. Lol. Also I think bts and their label are pure geniuses. Bc if I had the knowledge and finances to do these things that they r doing I would have done the same. Lol
I would love to watch Begins Youth. However, It looks like it will cost me about $150 NZD to watch the whole series. And I simply cannot justify that sort of spend. Not when I already subscribe to both Disney+ and Amazon Prime (because of BTS content). So unfortunately I will miss out. That is why watching videos about the series are so important to me (and sad, because it shows what I am missing out on). Unfortunately, I am probably not the only one who will be missing out on it because of cost. I wonder how many more people would have watched it had it been on another platform? Ah well. It is what it is, I suppose. I do hope the series is a success. And that maybe, one day, it will come to one of the other streaming platforms, that host BTS content.
I don't use Disney+ or Amazon Prime as there's never anything on either that I would engage with, so I don't feel the need to spend my money on something I might only use once in a 'blue moon'.
You knew more than me.. I still have no clue how to watch it. Is it an app? A streaming service like Netflix ?? I certainly don’t want to pay a subscription fee for one show
Dang, I'm not sure why YT is deleting my comment when I'm not even posting a link or saying anything inappropriate. If you search for the drama, the link that says something along the lines of Asain 📺 will usually the be first one that appears on the site. Just get a good popup blocker to block them. Sorry, I'm trying my best to find a workaround so that my comment doesn't get delete.
I dip in and out of streaming platforms on a monthly basis depending on whether the series or sport I want to see is on them. So usually only have one going at a time, wait until the whole series is available and then binge watch it over the month. This works for me. I'm in Australia and yes it was about $160 for the Begins youth series - I bought it a day ago after watching the first reaction from this channel. It will be my first k-drama and yes I did feel it was quite expensive. Loving it so far, have been through the BU about 3 times now and finding this a great show. If you investigate you might find some way to watch for free as I have seen sites saying this - though they may be illegal?
It is a platform but you actually buy the episodes (I got them in three blocks of 4 episodes each) and from what I understand in this video you can then onsell or rent them out to other people once the selling period from Xclusive is finished (don't know when that is). I haven't looked into how that works and am unlikely to sell them but it looks like they remain up on their platform rather than be downloaded to your own computer, but I could be wrong about that.
I hope the begins youth drama only has a limited contract with xclusive so that BH can show the series on other platforms like Netflix or Amazon Prime. As for IP, it’s good that they can profit without physically doing the work (it was talked about on HYBE conference re: this topic, so I don’t know why people are surprised about this. They talked about BT21 and Tinytan).
I think it is genius and is keeping ARMY engaged during their Military Duty, they have conscientiously done everything they could to help ARMYS to get through the majority of 2024-June 2025. Everything is done tastefully
Great analysis here..agree this is where BTS is headed in the future. They have worked hard and deserve projects that require them not to be on the road or in the air all the time. They will still give us great music but we may see more in the form of soundtracks etc….and not as much touring. I trust that they know how they want their future to look and I will support them however I can💜
I don't know if anyone else had this issue, but my streaming from xclusive has not been a pleasant experience. The subtitles are not as smooth as other korean content. It also is glitchy for me and doesn't play smoothly, even worse, after it glitches the audio track gets out of sync so I have to keep rewinding a bit until it matches up again. Frankly, it is so frustrating that after watching 3 episodes I haven't watched the rest even though I bought them. I have been waiting to get back into them hoping that it may improve. That said, the acting and production itself is fantastic!!! Show awesome! Platform clunky.
I suggest you contact Customer Support to report the problem and if the problem continues then ask if a refund is possible. It's insane that they asking up to $30-150 for the series and they are having streaming problems, smh.
If you still having issues, I recommend you search for the drama and click on the first link that says /MY/Asain/TV/. My experience on there was pretty smooth just make sure you get a good @D blocker, so you don't get any nasty @Ds. They might appear every so often but just carefully exit out of the tab that opens or click the x button if they appear on the website. 😅 Sorry, YT deleted my original post. 😭
Thank you for your coverage, always learn a lot. I so lucky to have found the world of K Dramas, K-pop and wonderful talent and hard work of the artists, during the pandemic. Well I can go and on. I will visiting Korea in fall of 2025.
i understand the need of creating some kind of tool, content, merch, media, that doesn't require BTS's direct supervision or presence, but, tbh none of the listed is interesting enough without them, at least to me. Tiny Tan or BT21 is cute, but meh. The drama, honestly the whole BU is just frustrating, that it has no end. One of the main reasons i switched to kdramas is the fact that they end, and don't have s2, 3, 20 to them. Start a story, then end it. I don't know, maybe just my genX mind, but if BTS is not in it, if their music is not in it, i'm not interested. Fashion, makeup, toys, dramas, i don't care. Music, yes, them, yes. But, probably, i'm in minority, with my opinion. 🤷♀
Wow. I have been following you a bit but this presentation blew my socks off. I will go to Patreon now because of you. Also try to find your other accounts as mentioned.
Honestly, I think it's a smart move imo even though, I was very skeptical and hesitant about the decision at first. Whew, I just finished the drama (literally now as in just a few minutes ago lol 😅), and let me tell you, I will pretend that ending didn't happen. The drama was beautiful and the actors did a phenomenal job, but that ending nope, nope, and nope. 😭 I'm so attached to the characters that I'm an emotional mess rn 😆😭😭
@@FarhanaK Oh, I would be happy to give you the website where I watch it but unfortunately, YT deletes it whenever I mention it. And honestly, it would be difficult to understand the ending if you haven't watched the drama. But I can still give you a quick summary of what happens to the characters if you like.
@@FarhanaK There's a link to a Yahoo article about the ending that explains it better than me lol. I wrote it out but I feel like I didn't give it justice, so I think going to the Yahoo article will be a better fit for you to understand it. But feel free to ask me questions about the characters or the show. ☺️
The thing is, most ARMYs (including me) are pretty conservative: we do buy CDs, we're unhappy that Weverse QR codes replaced DVDs, we do go to movie theatres, and instead of registering on Xclusive, most people who watched BeginsYouth did so illegally. Also, it's a fact that after we protested NFTs, HYBE canceled their plans to introduce BTS NFTs. It's a fact that even GenZ Jungkook spoke out against A.I. and expressed feeling upset that it's going to be our future. HYBE should never force BTS and ARMYs to accept those things. The world is already depressing enough and the climate change will surely destroy our planet, so let us cling to the beautiful past and find comfort in it.
I'm conservative because I don't trust it. It's all advertized as much better and convenient, until something goes wrong and you are fuc**, e.g. you can't get to your money because a stupid algorithm blocked your access as it deemed some action you did with your OWN bank account as suspicious. I hate stuff like that. It always comes when you need it the least. And then you, the owner, have to fight to get it back. I don't have time or energy for that. When I can't hold it, it's basically not mine, it's just an illusion, that could end abruptly. When servers crash (and I believe they will with a heating planet, as they already require a lot of cooling, and it will get way worse) I'll still play my CDs or Mp player. I have seen too much successful stuff go down, one day it's gone and your access goes with it, nothing was ever your property. And if you look at it financially, one pays SO much money for something you don't even own. Like lets say Weverse goes bunkrupt (big possibility as up to now they make minus with it), what will those QR Codes be worth?
I really enjoy your reporting on all things BTS . It can seem a bit overwhelming a n d I since hope that BTS is remembered fondly for the fabulous singing, dancing, lyrics, comedy and all things BTS 💜🎉
I literally haven't watched it because i haven't seen it advertised though weverse or BTS's twitter and have not known where to watch it. I'm generally very busy i don't have extra time to go look for some random platform .....so i actually didn't have any idea of any of this information thank you. (i've literally only watched your intro).
I really love BTS but I have no interest in BT21 or this show. Would I watch it if it was available to all, maybe but I’m not paying for something else to watch it.
I really have NO clue what’s happening. What is this “X…” thing! Like seriously, I have 0 idea. I also ended up with social media cause my boyfriend and friend said I should and I don’t look at it. I do try, which is why I know so little. Didn’t even know that the “BU” was a show. 🤷🏽♀️
Thanks. I have no idea on how to watch the BTS drama. I follow everything BTS and have seen no ads for it. Seems strange. And I will have to dive deeper in to « Block chain « because I still don’t understand it. 💜
This is my thing as well. They have not shared it or retweeted anything promoting the drama on twitter, Insta, Weverse, or youtube channel like a trailer ect They were happy to announce it at a press conference first in either 2018/2019 company Global press conference (I can't recall but it's been a few times) but not a word when it dropped. Personally I feel either they didn't agree with how the roll out was done as they sold the story or they knew fans wouldn't like the roll out so didn't promote it, maybe there is a deal that it's exclusive to Xclusive (whatever the platform is called) for a certain amount of time before release on other bigger platforms. But frankly something is off to me about it, they spoke up openly about it to the global press on live youtube press conference excited about it and then never uttered a word when it released.
I actually watch begins on Daily motion. I'm not good at tech stuff ,boomer from a country where i use a computer for the first time in high school. I just lost my insta made in fall and facebook I had since 90s.l m not be able to fix it, completely lost . Just made a twitter account to be able to follow my BTS. All of this stuff it's just too much to keep up, and do we really need to live like this ?Maybe not. I have a teen boy, so I think that's why I keep up for BTS too. But if I could I would go somewhere,other country, retired with my food growing in garden and in a small town where everyone knows each other. But the way life is I have 20 more years to work. But you know what next year I'm going to see Festa 2025 no matter what to celebrate my 50th birthday using all my savings because F-it . There's always something happening when I try to save . Thank you for all your research and explanation . I'm happy I found your channel ☺️
How do you get around the ads on daily motion? Watching any series there's 3 minutes of the show followed by 2 minutes of ads that can't be skipped. Thanks in advance for the solution.
Considering the fact that Begins Youth in no way advertises itself as BTS. I can imagine traditional streaming service might consider this too ambiguous? That'd be my only thought had it been turned away. Unlike the BU, their music isn't featured significantly. As a 1 year old Army I found the disconnect to be a little jarring. I wonder why they didn't use the music even though it was featured in BU. The music wouldn't have tied the boys to any specific character based on the music alone. So to me it's a strange decision. Their name is nor in the title. They didn't want to tie the members to the characters directly thus the name changes. Also the music wasn't featured. So Begins / Youth does not seem to be a BTS thing at all unless you knew of it already and that would be bringing the scope down massively since the bts name isn't leveraged. Not even Weverse. I do think Hybe was in the credits Idk I feel like I missed something. I'm puzzled as to why they didn't leverage BTS for this and attract the major platforms. Anyone know?
I actually think that not associating the series directly with BTS might have been a conscious decision to attract a new audience that might be into K-dramas but not BTS or even K-pop in general. I think HYBE is experimenting with different platforms to see where they can expand organically. I wonder if they will eventually create their own streaming platform like they are with gaming, etc.
Oh, that's interesting. I haven't watched it & probably won't unless it comes to Prime. I have other financial obligations & not going to sign up for another platform to watch one thing. Thank you for the info 😁! .@AngieAngie995
Gracias bendiciones y éxitos no tengo mucho conocimiento sobre el blockchein, si puedes explicar te lo agradecería, otra cosa vi ayer en X el post de scooter b y la protesta de army estaba en ingles pero lo que pude entender fue como una amenaza a el fandom o a cualquiera que le este haciendo boicot pero a mi lo percibí como amenaza de acceder a los datos, incidir en la individualizacion de bts y demorar su regreso, que tiene control y poder sobre los artistas de hybe y otros eso no me agrada no se si estoy equivocada pero me gustaría saber que opinan
Why would they? This is their IP? It is in a lot of their other content: MVs & other "films", the notebooks & the webtoon after all. But I have been on the website and it seems there are only limited possible buys which begs the question what happens to the show if it is sold out? Maybe it will be there on a timelimit + sell out and than go on another platform? IDK.
Thank you for your insight but how can we be sure that what is suppose to happen actually does?. I mean so yes BTS is suppose to benefit financially from all these things. Something tell me don't as they should.
The only thing that "tells you" that is your cynism. There is literally no hint of that. Don't create problems (stuff to be mad about) that doesn't exist will allow you to be a lot happier. Paul Watzlawick wrote a book about how people make themselves unhappy. I think there is a movie, too. If we see proof of it than we can be angry about it.
@@ruthfischer7615 what are you going on about?I am entitle to my opinions and I am allowed to express them on the internet. You don't have the right to tell me or anyone for that matter what they suppose.
@@ruthfischer7615 further we do have some proof that BTS don't always have things go their ways.Have you heard about Rain the kpop star what happened to him?so there's nothing wrong with my supposition . My query happens quite a lot in the industry.
@@cuteme456 Ever heard about Madison Beer? What about Justin Bieber? That is only a few of many entertainers. I could name drop a lot of people but that would be an expression of a statistic not the individual. You are not a statistic: Statistically you would not exist. You are an extreme. Think of your genetics alone and than your unque history. If that is a negative, a good or a neutral thing is on you. How BTS is treated has nothing to do with what happened to Rain or anyone else. It's a different label among other things. And I was writing this not to forbid you having your own opinion. I was writing this so you can think about how you are an individual with your own circumstances and making up a problem you don't know exists is not good for your own mental health. Like I said Idivided this into two different things because they are. As far as we can tell HYBE/Big Hit Music is treating them well and they can do whatever they want within reason. The book is very good. It may help you or maybe it will help you to understand someone else. IDK. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@cuteme456 Seems my reply vanished. Sorry. We do not have any proof that they do not get paid the way they should be either. Big Hit and HYBE are not SM. I have heard of misshaps but never that they treated their artists badly - except maybe the gaslighting of MHJ - but that is neither here nor there. I never said you can not have an opinion. I'm saying that yours is hurting you as you make a problem that has a high chance of not existing. The book is very good at showing how our mind can trap us into being unhappy. BTS is not Rain. BTS also makes still about 50% of HYBE's income. They would cease existing without the members. The members all signed for a third time. They did not have to.
I actually think that not associating the series directly with BTS might have been a conscious decision to attract a new audience that might be into K-dramas but not BTS or even K-pop in general. I think HYBE is experimenting with different platforms to see where they can expand organically. I wonder if they will eventually create their own streaming platform.

Very interesting 👌 thank you for this video 😊
I think it was smart move like you are paying for what you are really interested in
3 years ago I said Hybe (then Big Hit) should start their own music streaming platform. What's the likelihood of Weverse developing that option?
They kinda have it already, weverse albums where you stream the albums you buy , the weverse versions
I really enjoy your reporting on all things BTS . It can seem a bit overwhelming a n d I since hope that BTS is remembered fondly for the fabulous singing, dancing, lyrics, comedy and all things BTS 💜🎉
I literally haven't watched it because i haven't seen it advertised though weverse or BTS's twitter and have not known where to watch it. I'm generally very busy i don't have extra time to go look for some random platform .....so i actually didn't have any idea of any of this information thank you.
(i've literally only watched your intro).
I guess I am thinking so simply. They put begins youth in less known platform so that bighit/hybe would know the power and how organized army is.
Thank you for being my dictionary to all new things coming up and going on with BTS and bighit 🙏🏼💜
Love and appreciate your videos
I really love BTS but I have no interest in BT21 or this show. Would I watch it if it was available to all, maybe but I’m not paying for something else to watch it.
So interesting, as always.
I really have NO clue what’s happening. What is this “X…” thing! Like seriously, I have 0 idea. I also ended up with social media cause my boyfriend and friend said I should and I don’t look at it. I do try, which is why I know so little. Didn’t even know that the “BU” was a show. 🤷🏽♀️
Thanks. I have no idea on how to watch the BTS drama. I follow everything BTS and have seen no ads for it. Seems strange. And I will have to dive deeper in to « Block chain « because I still don’t understand it. 💜
I didn't even know they had a drama, and I'm usually pretty up to date on things
This is my thing as well. They have not shared it or retweeted anything promoting the drama on twitter, Insta, Weverse, or youtube channel like a trailer ect They were happy to announce it at a press conference first in either 2018/2019 company Global press conference (I can't recall but it's been a few times) but not a word when it dropped. Personally I feel either they didn't agree with how the roll out was done as they sold the story or they knew fans wouldn't like the roll out so didn't promote it, maybe there is a deal that it's exclusive to Xclusive (whatever the platform is called) for a certain amount of time before release on other bigger platforms. But frankly something is off to me about it, they spoke up openly about it to the global press on live youtube press conference excited about it and then never uttered a word when it released.
Yeah NO PROMOTIONS. Strange
I actually watch begins on Daily motion. I'm not good at tech stuff ,boomer from a country where i use a computer for the first time in high school. I just lost my insta made in fall and facebook I had since 90s.l m not be able to fix it, completely lost . Just made a twitter account to be able to follow my BTS. All of this stuff it's just too much to keep up, and do we really need to live like this ?Maybe not. I have a teen boy, so I think that's why I keep up for BTS too. But if I could I would go somewhere,other country, retired with my food growing in garden and in a small town where everyone knows each other. But the way life is I have 20 more years to work. But you know what next year I'm going to see Festa 2025 no matter what to celebrate my 50th birthday using all my savings because F-it . There's always something happening when I try to save . Thank you for all your research and explanation . I'm happy I found your channel ☺️
How do you get around the ads on daily motion? Watching any series there's 3 minutes of the show followed by 2 minutes of ads that can't be skipped. Thanks in advance for the solution.
If you're turning 50, then you're a Gen-X dear 🤗
Boomer here… HELP! I can’t figure out how to even find this Xclusive thing. I would like to watch but 😂
Type the title of the movie and you'll find it where you can see it.
I have one question. I sow on sosial media info, that new album j-hope recorded losses. Is it true? Can you comment on that?
Considering the fact that Begins Youth in no way advertises itself as BTS. I can imagine traditional streaming service might consider this too ambiguous? That'd be my only thought had it been turned away. Unlike the BU, their music isn't featured significantly. As a 1 year old Army I found the disconnect to be a little jarring.
I wonder why they didn't use the music even though it was featured in BU. The music wouldn't have tied the boys to any specific character based on the music alone. So to me it's a strange decision.
Their name is nor in the title. They didn't want to tie the members to the characters directly thus the name changes. Also the music wasn't featured. So Begins / Youth does not seem to be a BTS thing at all unless you knew of it already and that would be bringing the scope down massively since the bts name isn't leveraged. Not even Weverse. I do think Hybe was in the credits
Idk I feel like I missed something. I'm puzzled as to why they didn't leverage BTS for this and attract the major platforms. Anyone know?
I actually think that not associating the series directly with BTS might have been a conscious decision to attract a new audience that might be into K-dramas but not BTS or even K-pop in general. I think HYBE is experimenting with different platforms to see where they can expand organically. I wonder if they will eventually create their own streaming platform like they are with gaming, etc.
Oh, that's interesting. I haven't watched it & probably won't unless it comes to Prime. I have other financial obligations & not going to sign up for another platform to watch one thing. Thank you for the info 😁! .@AngieAngie995
Yayyy! I figured when I posted in Patreon I figured you were already on this. 💜
Gracias bendiciones y éxitos no tengo mucho conocimiento sobre el blockchein, si puedes explicar te lo agradecería, otra cosa vi ayer en X el post de scooter b y la protesta de army estaba en ingles pero lo que pude entender fue como una amenaza a el fandom o a cualquiera que le este haciendo boicot pero a mi lo percibí como amenaza de acceder a los datos, incidir en la individualizacion de bts y demorar su regreso, que tiene control y poder sobre los artistas de hybe y otros eso no me agrada no se si estoy equivocada pero me gustaría saber que opinan
I thought HYBE pulled out and sold the show to the company that made that weird streaming platform
Why would they? This is their IP? It is in a lot of their other content: MVs & other "films", the notebooks & the webtoon after all.
But I have been on the website and it seems there are only limited possible buys which begs the question what happens to the show if it is sold out?
Maybe it will be there on a timelimit + sell out and than go on another platform?
IDK.
Thank you so much once again.
I read that it cost $90 to watch it on that platform.
depends where you are - that's probably about right in US money as it was about $160 in Australian
Thank you for your insight but how can we be sure that what is suppose to happen actually does?. I mean so yes BTS is suppose to benefit financially from all these things. Something tell me don't as they should.
The only thing that "tells you" that is your cynism. There is literally no hint of that.
Don't create problems (stuff to be mad about) that doesn't exist will allow you to be a lot happier.
Paul Watzlawick wrote a book about how people make themselves unhappy. I think there is a movie, too.
If we see proof of it than we can be angry about it.
@@ruthfischer7615 what are you going on about?I am entitle to my opinions and I am allowed to express them on the internet. You don't have the right to tell me or anyone for that matter what they suppose.
@@ruthfischer7615 further we do have some proof that BTS don't always have things go their ways.Have you heard about Rain the kpop star what happened to him?so there's nothing wrong with my supposition . My query happens quite a lot in the industry.
@@cuteme456
Ever heard about Madison Beer? What about Justin Bieber?
That is only a few of many entertainers.
I could name drop a lot of people but that would be an expression of a statistic not the individual.
You are not a statistic:
Statistically you would not exist. You are an extreme. Think of your genetics alone and than your unque history. If that is a negative, a good or a neutral thing is on you.
How BTS is treated has nothing to do with what happened to Rain or anyone else.
It's a different label among other things.
And I was writing this not to forbid you having your own opinion. I was writing this so you can think about how you are an individual with your own circumstances and making up a problem you don't know exists is not good for your own mental health.
Like I said Idivided this into two different things because they are.
As far as we can tell HYBE/Big Hit Music is treating them well and they can do whatever they want within reason.
The book is very good. It may help you or maybe it will help you to understand someone else. IDK.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@cuteme456
Seems my reply vanished. Sorry.
We do not have any proof that they do not get paid the way they should be either.
Big Hit and HYBE are not SM. I have heard of misshaps but never that they treated their artists badly - except maybe the gaslighting of MHJ - but that is neither here nor there.
I never said you can not have an opinion. I'm saying that yours is hurting you as you make a problem that has a high chance of not existing. The book is very good at showing how our mind can trap us into being unhappy.
BTS is not Rain. BTS also makes still about 50% of HYBE's income. They would cease existing without the members.
The members all signed for a third time. They did not have to.
Enjoyed 😊 the video and learning.
Thank You for posting. 🫰💜💜💜
