excited for this.. hope you also react to WHO IS BTS ARMY:an introduction to the fandom to have an idea what kind of fandom BTS have and what ARMY capable of💜💜
Greetings and love from Mexico 🇲🇽💜🇲🇽💜🇲🇽💜 These boys are a huge inspiration. They inspire me to be a better person and taught me how to love and enjoy my life when I was struggling with it. Thank U for give them an opportunity in your channel. NJ, ARMY PURPLE U 💜💜 Sorry if my english isn't good (spanish speaker).
I am 77yrs old and BTS found me three years ago when I heard Mic Drop in a shop. I have been hooked ever since 😂. They helped me through a very bad time and I can never thank them enough. My children don’t understand but accept it. For the first time in my life, I bought an album without knowing what was on it! Love from Finland 💜💜💜
I am 65 years old. I've been an army since 2016. A woman from Ohio. I suffer from low self esteem and I have no family support. I love BTS because of their dedication, hard work. They taught me to love myself. When ever I am feeling down THEY lift me up. I will always stan BTS.
I'm an Army. I'm 58 and I'm from Milan, Italy. They gave me so much joy, support, warm, with their deep and amazing songs. I'm very grateful to these 7 young and surprising men. I can't imagine my life without this boys, songs, concert, vlive and shows.
From Scottsdale also and turned 70 recently. Whole family knows I’m ARMY. I had tickets to Rose Bowl concert. 😟. I have BTS face masks that I wore and a ON:E tshirt that I wear. My ringtone is “Fake Love.” You get the picture. We should meet and toast BTS!!
I'm 24 and BTS found me when I was heavily depressed and suicidal. I was saved by them and the first song I ever heard of BTS was Epiphany by bts Jin 💜
39 this year, 4 growing kids, a university lecturer..completely falls into this 7 beautiful guys.. Often used them and big hit success stories as a subject (im teaching management) in my class..all my students knows that their lecturer is totally an army. And im proud of it..
Hey Army! I am 55, teaching at a university. I am crazy about BTS. I can really jam with mic drop or dynamite. Absolutely love their music and choreo .I always greet my students online with a BTS number. Borahae!
@@milakakijalan hello colleagues...where u at? Yes, BTS has an undoubtful impact, where we can use them on many occasion, so do to our teaching. They only not gave us good music, they gave us support, respect, good image, humbleness, personal persona and their partnership with UNICEF was very impactful. I personally believe, regardless of our culture, religion, beliefs, age and many more differences, we are unite by this 7 beautiful men. Borahae army...
Hey Aus ARMY- I’m 49 living on the Sunshine Coast 🇦🇺. I have been ARMY just over 18 months. I can’t express how happy BTS makes me feel. I would be lost without them - much love 💜
I'm also Australian, 56 from Adelaide, found these guys nearly two years via my work friends daughter, had to see what all the fuss was about, down the rabbit hole I went and I now consider myself part of Army. These young men are not only very talented artists they have a message I want to be part off. 💜
I am 49 years old from Toronto, Canada. Has 3 teenager boys. I dive deep into BTS since last year during pandemic started. I work as a ICU nurse here in Toronto and during the pandemic after work I stayed away from my family and BTS helped me get through by listening to their music and watching their videos.
I live in the Burlington area of Ontario and I want to thank you for all you do. Not everyone can do the job you do. I know I couldn’t. Glad to know BTS was able to help you during that time.
I'm a hospital nurse here too in Minneapolis, MN US. I found BTS the same way too during the pandemic, when I had to stay away from my family. What a blessing this entertainment has been! Stay strong!
You are Army & so am I. I'm 56 years old & going on 11 months with BTS. I tell you better late than never. To watch these young men's journey is exciting, wonderful & their music makes me happy and gives me energy. My grandchildren love them and what great role models they are. Being a part of Army feels like your home with family having a good time. Thankful for being a part of this family. Love to see more reactions, your doing Great! 💜 NV USA
I’m a 34 year Old mom from Denmark🇩🇰 BTS found me last year during the start of the pandemic. I became an ARMY shortly after I Saw the first MV (Blood, Sweat and Tears) and I’m in this piece of purple joy for LIFE💜
I am from India and recently condition of India Is not good because of COVID-19 and BTS army raised 2Million rupees (Indian currency) to support people by providing oxygen and all the necessary things. Please react to from nobodies to legends and BTS hardships 2013-2021.
I’m from Hong Kong, 38 and a mom of 2 m, and BTS has allowed me to find myself outside of being a mom and also I’ve met incredible friends around the world through BTS. 💜
💜I’m 60 yrs, (So CA). My Mother is 88 yrs, (So CA) and my Daughter, is 25 yrs, (Seattle WA). We are three generations ARMY💜 Enjoying your reactions to BTS💜
hi im from philippines, 37yrs old. i became an army just this dynamite era but i felt like an old army because i did a lot of research and i think ive had enough infos about them. i was really inspired by these men not just by their music but as what they are as human.they are so humble and genuine. they are bts because of bts and bts armys. im proud to be a part of the fandom.
49yr old fellow Brit👋. Totally love them. They have helped me keep my sanity (and lower my blood pressure) despite the utter foolishness and blatant corruption going on in this country.
I'm 28 yr old ARMY for the past 5 years. BTS helped me make the decision to return to university and now I'm a 4th year Biomedical student working towards becoming a sonographer with a minor in psychology =)
I'm a 37 years old ARMY. I'm a teacher from Chile and love BTS, their music, the message in their lyrics, how funny, humble and hard wotker they are. Welcome to de fandom 😁
BTS is an inspiration and an example not only for young people...I am 59 years old and I am a proud ARMY...5 years ago they entered my life and I and love and admire them,they are much more than a band ..from the Canary Islands ( España ) I purple you.
NJ am 67 yrs. old and BTS got me through when i contracted the covid menace back in Dec. if i hadn't knew of BTS earlier i probably would have succumbed to the virus. They got me going and inspired trying to follow their music & dances thereby getting exercise at the same time. Originally from the Philippines now residing in the US. And oh btw i have subscribed...
Same here. I am 68 years old from Virginia. My only regret I know themreally late just last December. I love to dance. Try to learn Micdrop (ambitious..ha..ha.ha) originally from the philippines too.
I'm a 40 year old Army from Arizona. BTS found me last year. They have helped me in so many ways! I have met so many amazing people on this journey. I am grateful for the boys in every way. 💜
I’m a 41 year old lawyer from Puerto Rico and I’m an ARMY. You should definitely do the new version of Celeste’s hardships video. These videos are meant for people who came to know them in the height of their popularity understand that they’ve worked their butt off from the bottom, against all odds, and why ARMY is so loyal and protective of them.
60 y/o with four grown daughters, my youngest introduced me to BTS and fell in love with them..now i will love anyone who loves them..liked and subscribed already..Philippine army here..
I´m female, 30 years old from Sweden. I'm currently studying cultural heritage and archaeology, I used to work in a nursing home before deciding to change my career. I've always struggled with a low self-confidence, not being kind to myself as a teenager since I used to self-harm but BTS gives me hope that I can achieve my dreams no matter how far-fetched they seem, that I can find someone who loves me for who I am, flaws and all, but most importantly, they are teaching me to low myself and that it's okay to not always get everything right, to not be perfect. I love them and what they stand for.
@@nordayanazulkifli9067 we are doing our best to control the virus,,but there are some people not following the rules and due to that we are having hard time right now.. thank you for ur concern.💜
@@gladyapieter2583 thank you for the comforting words, really in need of those words from the people like you all, it's a wonderful family really 💜, it's not over until everyone got vaccinated or nil cases worldwide.. 💜take care 😊
I'm from Brazil, I'm 25 and a lawyer. I'm with them since I was 18. They have helped me a lot through these years. I suffered with depression, tried suicide 3 times and their songs and messages helped me to not try it again, helped me to discover that I'm strong and if that they survived the dark moments I can do it too. Now I'm pregnant, and my daughter is going to born on September, and if I'm alive to give her life is because of them, because they didn't let me give up! P.s: me and my husband have the song "Answer: love myself" as our couple song, because he says that I showed him how to love himself, and I tell him that BTS and him made me see that I'm important, that I need to love myself 'cause I survived so many abuses that I'm a warrior and should be proud of it, and not ashamed (as I was before meet them)!
Welcome to the fandom! I've been an ARMY since 2015. I'm from Iraq and I moved to California almost 3 years ago, 23 years old and a pre medical student ^^ This is an answer to your question about where we are from! You definitely won't regret becoming a fan of the boys! They truly are artists that are on another level! And humble and amazing human beings! I recommend attending one of their concerts once the pandemic ends I attended their concert in Rosebowl, Pasadena in 2019 and it was mind blowing! Best experience ever!
BTS are truly amazing. I am a 42 year old mother of 2 teenage boys and I love BTS. Their music and message got me through a bad divorce after 20 years of marriage. I forgot who I was as a person and I forgot how to love myself until I discovered them about 2 years ago. I don't know where I would be without them. Much love from America and Borahea 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Hello thanks for the reaction. I live in Turkey and I am 20 years old. Ever since I got to know BTS, my perspective on my life has completely changed. When I was unhappy, depressed, Bts and Armies took me out of there. There is a lot of prejudice against Bts in my country, and that makes me very sad. But as I teach people around me this, I see that their reaction also changes. I can freely shout that I am Army. Genres of music can never determine your age, gender or identity. I wish people get rid of their prejudices. I want BTS to reach more people. The army is growing, Bts is growing. Together we are stronger and happier. Thanks, see you in the next reaction video. Stay in health and happiness. (sorry for the translation)
Hi i am 14 yers old from egypt I knew them two years ago And in these two years, I've learned a lot from them, I loved myself. And I trusted myself. And my life has changed for the better, I'm going to walk with them to the end. Love you army 💜💜
I said briefly in the live chat. I knew a very shy 18 year old who had been to previous BTS concerts with a friend. She was due to go to one (that was cancelled because of Covid) but her friend wasn't available. We were worried when she said she would go on her own, but she said "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'll be with Army, they'll look after me!". Amazing!
More? Yes please. Who is BTS? The 7 members of Bangtan. After that one you will know each of their strengths in the group and their personalities. Also BTS Crash Course 2020, and BTS the most beautiful life goes on are worth your time. Thank you!
No. That's a trashy video full of misinformation and stereotypes, and very biased against some members. Can y'all stop people recommending this awful creation??
I recommend "This is BTS Army" by the same creator xCeleste, which can give you a better idea of our fandom 💜 She also has a new updated video of BTS hardships 2013-2021, it takes you through their journey and the hurdles they faced
I'm 20yo army from Russia. I grew a lot with BTS and their music helped me a lot in my darkest times. I'm really glad and thankful that I've discovered this group back in 2016, welcome to ARMY family)
Love your reactions! I'm a 47 year old from Trinidad and Tobago and started my BTS journey late last year. I'm so glad I did because they have given me so much joy and peace with their music and now I'm Army! 💜
Love to watch your journey with BTS. I am 50 year old Army from Maryland. I discovered them in February 2020 before quarantine. Was hooked and even bought concert tickets to see them in Chicago with friends who are also in their 50’s, but was not able to because the live concerts were cancelled due to Covid. They saved 2020 for me because of all the content they delivered online to ARMY during this pandemic. They are 7 amazing angels who work so hard at everything in order to give us their very best. I will support them forever. Love your honest reactions! Keep up the great work and I love how you “are getting it” that BTS is much more than their music. They are changing the world one person at a time. I’m here for all your BTS reactions! 💜
I am 46 years old from Malaysia, have 2 teenager boys. I dive deep into BTS since 2014 Boy in Luv era. I am tired and find my life tough, but when I listen to their songs, I feel encouraged. I feel like I am with a good friend of mine.
This is why I am ARMY, 40 years old, from Spain. I always loved music, I listen to a lot of different genres, but I wasn't curious about kpop, I guess simply because I don't understand the language, I always pay attention to the lirics, like to sing along.. But then I kept seeing things about Bts, about the Army and I got curious, I wanted to know what they are saying cause they have such a large and dedicated audience. Learning about the positivity and all the messages Bts put in their song, I said this is something I want to listen to cause they gave me hope for a better world 💜💜💜
BTS is very famous in my country Philippines. Their simplicity, personality, kind heart, they're down to earth kids. I'm 65 yrs old and I first heard them singing in 2014. I was a big fan of BTS but not army yet. They are an amazing kids and very humble. They love their ARMY'S so much, that why everytime they received an award they always mentioned ARMY'S. They know they owe their army's a lot. God bless BTS and ARMY'S all over the world. #borahae #btsforever #i💜u
Im 14yrs old and have severe depression and anxiety from a lot of different trauma so their music and them just being themselves really helps me. I found BTS through my friend, the first song i listened to was Black Swan and if my friend never showed me that video I dont think i would still be here
I am 67 yr old Army. I am a street nurse and see the worst of humanity every day. These 7 young men have kept me sane for yrs.I have listened to kpop for 20 odd yrs but BTS are not the norm.🤗💜
Your humbleness and loving nature towards BTS makes you already an ARMY... Love the way you react to our boys 💜 borahe I m from India, 27 years old same as of suga's age 😁
I'm 40, an Engr and a Literature Prof too. I use BTS MVs in my literary symbolism and imagery class. I got into BTS after hearing Mic Drop and Deachwita last year. Epiphany made me cry and realize I never did love myself. From then on, I became an ARMY, studied their albums from beginning to present, their collabs, individual works. They inspired me so much to do good and be positive and to love myself little by little. Suga taught me to be stronger, Jimin's solo songs cured my insomnia 😄. I love these boys very much. 💜 Love from California, Japan, Philippines, France, Germany. I'm a mix of these ethnicities, Currently calling Japan and the Philippines home.
army from Norway here🙋🏼♀️ 33 years old, work in drug addiction and mental healthcare♥️ love my job, and BTS makes life so much bearable💜 I see so much sadness and pain every day, so having this group of 7 guys show so much love is a relief to me💜
Hi everyone I'm 38yrs, I m Italian but I live in uk. I discovered BTS last year, around may or June, it has been a difficult year like for everyone.. and I felt helped by them, like a worm hug, I felt less lonely,every time is like I watching a friend. 💜
Hi I'm 29 mother of 3 from Texas BTS found me on 2018. I absolutely love them and i'm also so greatful, because they have helped me in so many ways . Thank you for your reaction 💜 welcome to army. Pls react to Who is BTS: 7 members of bangtan There you will find some information of each member. Thank you 💜💜
I am 22 years old from Indonesia, I am grateful and thankful to them for saving me from fear, guilt, self-loathing, and depression so deliciously. I get to know them at the right time they provide support and strengthen so that we can love ourselves better. I know the higher they are the bigger the wind will be but thank you for coming to earth. Thanks NJ for the positive reaction.🖤💜
Could you watch "Who is BTS the Seven Members of Bangtan by Suga and Spice" and "The Most Beautiful Life Goes On by Asian Theory". These videos are more about the individual members, their personalities, talents and backgrounds, whereas this video is more about why and how they're popular, their success and some of their hardships. I think it would be great for you to know more about them as individuals too.
I second this. While the current video introduces BTS as a group, "The seven members of Bangtan" introduces each member Although it is a bit outdated, it's still the best video out there for this subject right now
@@SynnisterSpyder I totally agree! It’s still a great introductory video. It may be a little outdated but it’s one of the few documentaries that focuses on each member and isn’t too long. Any info gaps can be filled in later by ARMY and other videos 😄
Yes.......I'd like to ask you politely. Please watch this video " who is bts the seven members of bangtan by suga and spice....This video won't be boring either.
Hey there, I'm a teacher from Kuwait! I'm 25! I'm happy to see that you're starting to see why they are so special.. BTS have phenomenal music, but it is also accompanied by an insane work ethic and they are genuinely good people. Most of the time when we look at the world, it feels as though the deserving do not get to win, but with BTS, it's like you're finally getting to see that you don't HAVE to sacrifice your humanity or morals to get to the top. They worked extremely hard to climb up this mountain with so many odds against them, but they continued making music that talks about things that really matter. I wouldn't be able to give them such wholehearted support if they weren't so obviously good people who want to make a difference in the world. Their morals really align with mine and through their music they have given me so much strength to get through some of the roughest patches. I can't help but feel immensely grateful to BTS because they really have changed my life in undeniable ways..
Hello I'm from Egypt and an army for a year and a half now. I am so proud of them and I hope you really enjoy the journey of discovering their beautiful music.💜
Since you like it: I'm 17, female and I'm from Germany. There is saying that you will not BTS, BTS will find you, if you need them the most. That's right, I was in a psychiatry because of depression, people there showed me BTS and since then I was an ARMY. They really helped me
I loved that reaction. This is so cool, this comment section is very intersting. I'm a 23yo student, french, living in Paris, nice to meet you guys ^^ I've been an Army for almost 2 years only now. I've never really been a fan of anyone before, I just listened to some of their songs here and there but I've never felt the need to invest my time or money in an artist's career. BTS are incredible artists, great singers, dancers and songwriters, but what they represent is way bigger than just music, it's like an entire movement of positivity, self-acceptance, love, and hard worker attitude. They're not perfect but they are always doing their best, they are kind and genuine and we can definitely see it in the way they behave themselves. That's the kind of people we want to support and it's the reason why ARMY is such a strong fanbase, we're dedicated because we know they are too. Welcome in our big family!
I'm 23, and graduating college, I study Tourism, and I did a presentation of the influence of the pop culture in tourism and I chose BTS as the main example because, man, they have a MASSIVE influence in the growing numbers of foreigners visiting South Korea. My professor was so interested in what I said in my presentation that he started to listen BTS and now he's an army. He is 53 years old. I have an Instagram page about tourism and I'm planning to do a post just about BTS influence on the South Korea tourism.
42 year old Army here💜💜💜Illinois, USA thank u for this💜💜💜💜u mentioned looking at their hardships which they still face today..xceleste has an updated version 2013-2021.
I'm 73 years old, living In California, but I (normally) travel the world teaching Tarot as a personal growth system. I found BTS 3 years ago through their use of the theories of Carl Jung. Welcome to BTS and ARMY. I love your reactions and so appreciate seeing where all your listeners are from and their backgrounds.
I just had my anniversary last April 27 as an ARMY. Before, I am a bit shy calling myself as an ARMY since I cannot afford to go to their concerts or can by even a single album or merch. But most of the ARMY told me that its not like that. Loving their music, artistry and supporting them is that matters. The imoact they had with me is Im about to give up but the Lord lead me to one of the post of Namjoon ghat sh_t things happens but always remember the one who loves you and until now I can say that I am still alive to hold back of that incident bc of the stress and anxiety coz of the pandemic. other fandoms calls us as toxic fans but in reality we are the educated one. there are from a lot of groups of professionals. Like the last Hybe-Ithaca, we are leaerning from the videos and post of ARMYs that are in that field so that most of us will be able to understand it. I am proud to be part of the Family of ARMY and for having BTS in my life Proud to say , I am a mother of three and I am 42. Keep fighting. And I am watching your reaction videous this past few days and thats what I am a year ago. keep safe and will continue watching your videous
I was very lazy, lazy to change, lazy to faced hardship, lazy to meet people.. Then I know BTS in 2015, that the first time I know that if i want get something better, i have to faced, change and showing love more. And BTS show me that i don't have to scare or shy abt my mistakes, just try my best then I will be the best of me
I'm a new army, been following them for the last months. I'm 32 years old from Sweden. BTS means so much to me, through them I see myself and for the first time I can accept things about myself I gone a whole life hating. Your reactions are great, keep em coming, I will be watching!
Wonderful to see you becoming enlightened about BTS. I started to investigate BTS back in 2018 to see why they were growing so fast. I soon found out how and why they are so loved around the world. I am now 66yrs old, I absolutely love and adore their talents, their personalities, and their mission. I also love that in Bon Voyage season 4 they came not only to visit my country, but they travelled from my city of Christchurch down through the parts of the country where I grew up. They spent time in my old hometown of Queenstown and they loved their trip. They all really enjoyed it here and said they want to come back. Thank you for continuing your BTS reactions, kind regards from an old lady in New Zealand 🇳🇿❤.
Hahaha, Hi. My name is Cath, I'm from Chile, I have 19 years old (this year sadly I will turn on 20 years) and I'm a law student. I discovered BTS when I had passed a rough way... it was hard times at that time, but they helped me a lot. And they still helps me a lot on my daily life. I am happy and proud to being an ARMY and support BTS 💜
It makes me feel really happy that you were able to find them when you did and that you feel like you could be apart of such a fandom. Thank you for seeing our boys in a different light. They truly bring happiness and positivity to so many people around the world. I hope that the same amount of happiness and positivity they have given us, given me, be experienced by you. Again, thank you for this. It means a lot to me as an ARMY.
WHO IS BTS - THE SEVEN MEMBERS OF BANGTAN. Imo, getting to know each of them, (they are so different), is more important at this point in your journey than knowing about us. We can wait. 💜💜💜 💜💜💜💜
Hi there!! 51 year old ARMY here in the USA! I found them shortly after I lost my job due to COVID last March. I am still unemployed, and due to this, i have been able to watch most of their content!! It really helps me get through these days of being home. Being here with fellow ARMY and new fans to BTS is so much fun to watch their reactions to them! I recently got my COVID vaccinations and for each one, while I was waiting, I watched recent RUN BTS episodes to help me not be nervous or scared before and after getting them. I love this fandom, I love our boys and I love that you are learning more about who they TRULY are...not just as idols...but amazing human beings! Borahae💜 I purple you!! 💜
I'm 23 years old and from India currently pursuing my LLB. BTS has been the best thing that happened to me when i was going through a really rough time 3 yrs back.
I found bts in early 2017 and i love them more and more every day... I am 21 and im from germany, i learned my job, social assistent for people with disabillities, when i was 17 and i had to move far away from my family(the longest i have been away from my family before that was 1 week)thats the same time when i found bts...they helped me through such hard times(grandparents died a few weeks apart from eachother, dog died, illnesses, bullying, etc...) i think bts has saved my life in so many diffrent ways and i will forever be thankful for that!!
I forget how many time I have watched the introduction video and matter how many times I keep watching this I just can't get enough. I mean it's just so nice having other people eggknowledge them and come to like them . will it's the same for all the army we just want people to like them and love them just like we do 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I am 29 and a Single Mom from The Philippines, their song actually's on my playlist. I work happily and got me motivated, they helped me to love myself again after losing my confidence after what my ex did. They made me realize that i can be loved and I am worth it. Their song saved me, they came at the right time for me. A new subscriber ☺️
Thanks for this reaction - I love your genuine positive shock at learning more about all that they are. I think that the hard-working and humble attitude is one that is fostered in Kpop, which is a whole special industry and culture with its own fascination. I'm 66, retired, and live in Derbyshire. I deliberately looked into KPop after I lost my job in 2019, and immediately found BTS and immediately became ARMY. It was their dance skills first, and their music, but very quickly I became captured by their message and their personalities. Since then I've found many internet friends through our fandom and mutual love for BTS, and someday soon may meet them in real life. However, those relationships are none-the-less real and incredibly supportive. Most bands are recruited young. JK was 14 western age when he left home to join BigHit (and only Jin was out of his teens) and was more or less brought up by the company and his hyungs, who also brought each other up. I believe that BigHit was one of the most progressive companies in the industry, adopting an almost fatherly role for their trainees, for example acknowledging the need to support artists' mental health and provide counselling, which is still rare in other companies - though they are catching up. Also most trainees have a no dating clause in their contracts - BH doesn't - though it's very very hard for artists to date because of the insanely packed schedules. I find translation of the lyrics very important to my process. They spend hard time and tears on the lyrics, so they matter to me. I use a site called doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com for this : it includes all their albums, solo projects, and free mixtapes and releases on soundcloud. Each lyric page includes a link to the track or the MV so that you can listen and follow the lyrics, which are provided in Korean Hangul and English and they are available, in my experience. ALMOST on the day the album is issued. They also provide notes on cultural specificities and word play. Love it. I've spent many a happy hour here mainlining their individual projects and inhaling the lyrics! The person (I assume a lady) who runs the doolset site was also involved in the relatively recent White Paper Project. This was started after BTS was sucked into the controversy with Japan resulting from Korea insisting that Japan apologise for their abuses during their occupation of Korea (from about 1910 until after WWII), most publicly focussed on the enforced enslavement of Korean women as "comfort women". This project aimed to correct misinformation, and inform the world about the reality of the very sensitive relationship between Korea and Japan which has lasted many years, the reasons for it, and why it persists today. The paper involved many experts from around the world, was published in Korean, Japanese, English (and I think in other languages). It is a formal academic document, very detailed, with complete references, and is 116 pages long. It was published for free. I've tried to read it, but it's very academic and respectable ... and long. So I feel that doolset's translations are reliable. Another source you might find useful are the various RUclips channels explaining culturally specific issues in BTS music. I love these, and cannot do without them. DKDKTV have done a couple of "explained by a Korean" videos and I recommend the one about Paldongsan, also Known as the Satoori rap, in which BTS members rap in their own dialects from around Korea - it's very funny and I think you'll also enjoy it. Paldogongsan - ruclips.net/video/gwgy2MbjWKs/видео.html Explained - ruclips.net/video/l48zU1h00jw/видео.html Check out theor channel for others, including Ddaeng and Ugh. You will, I think, like. I also love BookishTheories - her explanation of Spring Day (issued in 2016 and never out of the Korean charts since then) is beautiful - ruclips.net/video/Tye1ONFeKis/видео.html (... this is on a channel called Bangtan Vibes, but I remember it as Bookish Theories' work - it's no longer available on her channel, though others are.) I strongly encourage you to look more deeply into the meaning of each song - especially the ones that particularly appeal to you. I think that a large proportion of ARMY are devoted to Bangtan BECAUSE of the meaningful nature of their lyrics. There are many many KPop bands who come close to BTS in performance, and the quality of their music, but I know of none who offer such thoughtful and though-provoking, and downright comforting lyrics. Thanks again - and sorry for the INTERMINABLE comment! I find it hard to stoppppp!
32 yr old BTS ARMY from South Dakota, mother of 2 kids, and BTS has helped me through my mental health through their music. They are amazing and my girls love them!
I'm 37, and I'm from Philippines, a business woman.. I really love them so much.. I support their platform their message. With my fellow Army friends here in our place.

I am 77yrs old and BTS found me three years ago when I heard Mic Drop in a shop. I have been hooked ever since 😂. They helped me through a very bad time and I can never thank them enough. My children don’t understand but accept it. For the first time in my life, I bought an album without knowing what was on it! Love from Finland 💜💜💜
What shop had mic drop playing?

I am 65 years old. I've been an army since 2016. A woman from Ohio. I suffer from low self esteem and I have no family support. I love BTS because of their dedication, hard work. They taught me to love myself. When ever I am feeling down THEY lift me up. I will always stan BTS.
You're awesome. - 40 yr old from Wooster.
I'm an Army. I'm 58 and I'm from Milan, Italy. They gave me so much joy, support, warm, with their deep and amazing songs. I'm very grateful to these 7 young and surprising men. I can't imagine my life without this boys, songs, concert, vlive and shows.

@@milakakijalan hello colleagues...where u at? Yes, BTS has an undoubtful impact, where we can use them on many occasion, so do to our teaching. They only not gave us good music, they gave us support, respect, good image, humbleness, personal persona and their partnership with UNICEF was very impactful. I personally believe, regardless of our culture, religion, beliefs, age and many more differences, we are unite by this 7 beautiful men. Borahae army...

I am 49 years old from Toronto, Canada. Has 3 teenager boys. I dive deep into BTS since last year during pandemic started. I work as a ICU nurse here in Toronto and during the pandemic after work I stayed away from my family and BTS helped me get through by listening to their music and watching their videos.
I live in the Burlington area of Ontario and I want to thank you for all you do. Not everyone can do the job you do. I know I couldn’t. Glad to know BTS was able to help you during that time.
I'm a hospital nurse here too in Minneapolis, MN US. I found BTS the same way too during the pandemic, when I had to stay away from my family. What a blessing this entertainment has been! Stay strong!
If you aren't already ARMY, this will definitely make you one. So excited!
You are Army & so am I. I'm 56 years old & going on 11 months with BTS. I tell you better late than never. To watch these young men's journey is exciting, wonderful & their music makes me happy and gives me energy. My grandchildren love them and what great role models they are.

hi im from philippines, 37yrs old. i became an army just this dynamite era but i felt like an old army because i did a lot of research and i think ive had enough infos about them. i was really inspired by these men not just by their music but as what they are as human.they are so humble and genuine. they are bts because of bts and bts armys. im proud to be a part of the fandom.

NJ am 67 yrs. old and BTS got me through when i contracted the covid menace back in Dec. if i hadn't knew of BTS earlier i probably would have succumbed to the virus. They got me going and inspired trying to follow their music & dances thereby getting exercise at the same time. Originally from the Philippines now residing in the US. And oh btw i have subscribed...
Waow ! I'm 39 and my daughter 11. We are proud to be Army. 💜
Same here. I am 68 years old from Virginia. My only regret I know themreally late just last December. I love to dance. Try to learn Micdrop (ambitious..ha..ha.ha) originally from the philippines too.

You should definitely do the new version of Celeste’s hardships video.
These videos are meant for people who came to know them in the height of their popularity understand that they’ve worked their butt off from the bottom, against all odds, and why ARMY is so loyal and protective of them.
Really great reaction dude. I'm a 43 year old Canadian guy and I LOVE BTS!

I´m female, 30 years old from Sweden. I'm currently studying cultural heritage and archaeology, I used to work in a nursing home before deciding to change my career. I've always struggled with a low self-confidence, not being kind to myself as a teenager since I used to self-harm but BTS gives me hope that I can achieve my dreams no matter how far-fetched they seem, that I can find someone who loves me for who I am, flaws and all, but most importantly, they are teaching me to low myself and that it's okay to not always get everything right, to not be perfect. I love them and what they stand for.

I'm from Brazil, I'm 25 and a lawyer. I'm with them since I was 18. They have helped me a lot through these years. I suffered with depression, tried suicide 3 times and their songs and messages helped me to not try it again, helped me to discover that I'm strong and if that they survived the dark moments I can do it too. Now I'm pregnant, and my daughter is going to born on September, and if I'm alive to give her life is because of them, because they didn't let me give up!
P.s: me and my husband have the song "Answer: love myself" as our couple song, because he says that I showed him how to love himself, and I tell him that BTS and him made me see that I'm important, that I need to love myself 'cause I survived so many abuses that I'm a warrior and should be proud of it, and not ashamed (as I was before meet them)!
Born in Fiji and live in Australia..47 yrs old ARMY since 2014 .I don't have a bias cause I vowed to love all of them the same
Welcome to the fandom! I've been an ARMY since 2015. I'm from Iraq and I moved to California almost 3 years ago, 23 years old and a pre medical student ^^ This is an answer to your question about where we are from! You definitely won't regret becoming a fan of the boys! They truly are artists that are on another level! And humble and amazing human beings!
I recommend attending one of their concerts once the pandemic ends
I attended their concert in Rosebowl, Pasadena in 2019 and it was mind blowing! Best experience ever!
I am from Romania, I have 17 years and I've been in bts for almost 4years
BTS are truly amazing. I am a 42 year old mother of 2 teenage boys and I love BTS. Their music and message got me through a bad divorce after 20 years of marriage. I forgot who I was as a person and I forgot how to love myself until I discovered them about 2 years ago. I don't know where I would be without them. Much love from America and Borahea 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Hello thanks for the reaction. I live in Turkey and I am 20 years old. Ever since I got to know BTS, my perspective on my life has completely changed. When I was unhappy, depressed, Bts and Armies took me out of there. There is a lot of prejudice against Bts in my country, and that makes me very sad. But as I teach people around me this, I see that their reaction also changes. I can freely shout that I am Army. Genres of music can never determine your age, gender or identity. I wish people get rid of their prejudices. I want BTS to reach more people. The army is growing, Bts is growing. Together we are stronger and happier. Thanks, see you in the next reaction video. Stay in health and happiness. (sorry for the translation)
Im happy for you journey💜
That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing your journey 💜

49 years old here. Been ARMY for almost 4 years now. Love them all! They are such wonderful human beings! thanks for reacting.
I said briefly in the live chat. I knew a very shy 18 year old who had been to previous BTS concerts with a friend. She was due to go to one (that was cancelled because of Covid) but her friend wasn't available. We were worried when she said she would go on her own, but she said "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'll be with Army, they'll look after me!". Amazing!
More? Yes please. Who is BTS? The 7 members of Bangtan. After that one you will know each of their strengths in the group and their personalities. Also BTS Crash Course 2020, and BTS the most beautiful life goes on are worth your time. Thank you!
Yes, that video is a must.
Yes, you must see it
Highly recommended.. Pleasee
No. That's a trashy video full of misinformation and stereotypes, and very biased against some members. Can y'all stop people recommending this awful creation??
I recommend "This is BTS Army" by the same creator xCeleste, which can give you a better idea of our fandom 💜
She also has a new updated video of BTS hardships 2013-2021, it takes you through their journey and the hurdles they faced

Love to watch your journey with BTS. I am 50 year old Army from Maryland. I discovered them in February 2020 before quarantine. Was hooked and even bought concert tickets to see them in Chicago with friends who are also in their 50’s, but was not able to because the live concerts were cancelled due to Covid. They saved 2020 for me because of all the content they delivered online to ARMY during this pandemic. They are 7 amazing angels who work so hard at everything in order to give us their very best. I will support them forever. Love your honest reactions! Keep up the great work and I love how you “are getting it” that BTS is much more than their music. They are changing the world one person at a time. I’m here for all your BTS reactions! 💜
I am 46 years old from Malaysia, have 2 teenager boys. I dive deep into BTS since 2014 Boy in Luv era.
I am tired and find my life tough, but when I listen to their songs, I feel encouraged. I feel like I am with a good friend of mine.
This is why I am ARMY, 40 years old, from Spain. I always loved music, I listen to a lot of different genres, but I wasn't curious about kpop, I guess simply because I don't understand the language, I always pay attention to the lirics, like to sing along.. But then I kept seeing things about Bts, about the Army and I got curious, I wanted to know what they are saying cause they have such a large and dedicated audience. Learning about the positivity and all the messages Bts put in their song, I said this is something I want to listen to cause they gave me hope for a better world 💜💜💜
BTS is very famous in my country Philippines. Their simplicity, personality, kind heart, they're down to earth kids. I'm 65 yrs old and I first heard them singing in 2014. I was a big fan of BTS but not army yet. They are an amazing kids and very humble. They love their ARMY'S so much, that why everytime they received an award they always mentioned ARMY'S. They know they owe their army's a lot. God bless BTS and ARMY'S all over the world. #borahae #btsforever #i💜u
This is a Peruvian Army, 32 yrs old. This band is the best I found during this pandemic.
Im 14yrs old and have severe depression and anxiety from a lot of different trauma so their music and them just being themselves really helps me. I found BTS through my friend, the first song i listened to was Black Swan and if my friend never showed me that video I dont think i would still be here

I'm 40, an Engr and a Literature Prof too. I use BTS MVs in my literary symbolism and imagery class. I got into BTS after hearing Mic Drop and Deachwita last year. Epiphany made me cry and realize I never did love myself. From then on, I became an ARMY, studied their albums from beginning to present, their collabs, individual works. They inspired me so much to do good and be positive and to love myself little by little. Suga taught me to be stronger, Jimin's solo songs cured my insomnia 😄. I love these boys very much. 💜 Love from California, Japan, Philippines, France, Germany. I'm a mix of these ethnicities, Currently calling Japan and the Philippines home.

Pls react to Who is BTS: 7 members of bangtan
There you will find some information of each member. Thank you 💜💜
You have to watch "The rise of bangtan" series, is the most complete documentary about BTS out there
Agreed!!!!
Yes! That documentary is amazing, I love it 💜
I am 22 years old from Indonesia, I am grateful and thankful to them for saving me from fear, guilt, self-loathing, and depression so deliciously. I get to know them at the right time they provide support and strengthen so that we can love ourselves better. I know the higher they are the bigger the wind will be but thank you for coming to earth. Thanks NJ for the positive reaction.🖤💜
Could you watch "Who is BTS the Seven Members of Bangtan by Suga and Spice" and "The Most Beautiful Life Goes On by Asian Theory". These videos are more about the individual members, their personalities, talents and backgrounds, whereas this video is more about why and how they're popular, their success and some of their hardships. I think it would be great for you to know more about them as individuals too.
I second this. While the current video introduces BTS as a group, "The seven members of Bangtan" introduces each member
Although it is a bit outdated, it's still the best video out there for this subject right now
Yes, definitely. The first one is a bit old but gives more detail on each individual member.
@@SynnisterSpyder I totally agree! It’s still a great introductory video. It may be a little outdated but it’s one of the few documentaries that focuses on each member and isn’t too long. Any info gaps can be filled in later by ARMY and other videos 😄
Yes.......I'd like to ask you politely. Please watch this video " who is bts the seven members of bangtan by suga and spice....This video won't be boring either.
Yes
Hey there, I'm a teacher from Kuwait! I'm 25!
I'm happy to see that you're starting to see why they are so special.. BTS have phenomenal music, but it is also accompanied by an insane work ethic and they are genuinely good people. Most of the time when we look at the world, it feels as though the deserving do not get to win, but with BTS, it's like you're finally getting to see that you don't HAVE to sacrifice your humanity or morals to get to the top. They worked extremely hard to climb up this mountain with so many odds against them, but they continued making music that talks about things that really matter. I wouldn't be able to give them such wholehearted support if they weren't so obviously good people who want to make a difference in the world. Their morals really align with mine and through their music they have given me so much strength to get through some of the roughest patches. I can't help but feel immensely grateful to BTS because they really have changed my life in undeniable ways..
Hello I'm from Egypt and an army for a year and a half now. I am so proud of them and I hope you really enjoy the journey of discovering their beautiful music.💜
Since you like it: I'm 17, female and I'm from Germany. There is saying that you will not BTS, BTS will find you, if you need them the most.
That's right, I was in a psychiatry because of depression, people there showed me BTS and since then I was an ARMY. They really helped me
I loved that reaction. This is so cool, this comment section is very intersting.
I'm a 23yo student, french, living in Paris, nice to meet you guys ^^
I've been an Army for almost 2 years only now. I've never really been a fan of anyone before, I just listened to some of their songs here and there but I've never felt the need to invest my time or money in an artist's career. BTS are incredible artists, great singers, dancers and songwriters, but what they represent is way bigger than just music, it's like an entire movement of positivity, self-acceptance, love, and hard worker attitude. They're not perfect but they are always doing their best, they are kind and genuine and we can definitely see it in the way they behave themselves. That's the kind of people we want to support and it's the reason why ARMY is such a strong fanbase, we're dedicated because we know they are too.
Welcome in our big family!
I'm 23, and graduating college, I study Tourism, and I did a presentation of the influence of the pop culture in tourism and I chose BTS as the main example because, man, they have a MASSIVE influence in the growing numbers of foreigners visiting South Korea. My professor was so interested in what I said in my presentation that he started to listen BTS and now he's an army. He is 53 years old.
I have an Instagram page about tourism and I'm planning to do a post just about BTS influence on the South Korea tourism.
42 year old Army here💜💜💜Illinois, USA thank u for this💜💜💜💜u mentioned looking at their hardships which they still face today..xceleste has an updated version 2013-2021.
I'm 73 years old, living In California, but I (normally) travel the world teaching Tarot as a personal growth system. I found BTS 3 years ago through their use of the theories of Carl Jung. Welcome to BTS and ARMY. I love your reactions and so appreciate seeing where all your listeners are from and their backgrounds.
I just had my anniversary last April 27 as an ARMY. Before, I am a bit shy calling myself as an ARMY since I cannot afford to go to their concerts or can by even a single album or merch. But most of the ARMY told me that its not like that. Loving their music, artistry and supporting them is that matters. The imoact they had with me is Im about to give up but the Lord lead me to one of the post of Namjoon ghat sh_t things happens but always remember the one who loves you and until now I can say that I am still alive to hold back of that incident bc of the stress and anxiety coz of the pandemic. other fandoms calls us as toxic fans but in reality we are the educated one. there are from a lot of groups of professionals. Like the last Hybe-Ithaca, we are leaerning from the videos and post of ARMYs that are in that field so that most of us will be able to understand it. I am proud to be part of the Family of ARMY and for having BTS in my life Proud to say , I am a mother of three and I am 42. Keep fighting. And I am watching your reaction videous this past few days and thats what I am a year ago. keep safe and will continue watching your videous
BTS is my life 😭💜 They are my every thing
I was very lazy, lazy to change, lazy to faced hardship, lazy to meet people.. Then I know BTS in 2015, that the first time I know that if i want get something better, i have to faced, change and showing love more. And BTS show me that i don't have to scare or shy abt my mistakes, just try my best then I will be the best of me
I'm a new army, been following them for the last months. I'm 32 years old from Sweden. BTS means so much to me, through them I see myself and for the first time I can accept things about myself I gone a whole life hating.
Your reactions are great, keep em coming, I will be watching!
Wonderful to see you becoming enlightened about BTS. I started to investigate BTS back in 2018 to see why they were growing so fast. I soon found out how and why they are so loved around the world. I am now 66yrs old, I absolutely love and adore their talents, their personalities, and their mission. I also love that in Bon Voyage season 4 they came not only to visit my country, but they travelled from my city of Christchurch down through the parts of the country where I grew up. They spent time in my old hometown of Queenstown and they loved their trip. They all really enjoyed it here and said they want to come back. Thank you for continuing your BTS reactions, kind regards from an old lady in New Zealand 🇳🇿❤.
Hahaha, Hi. My name is Cath, I'm from Chile, I have 19 years old (this year sadly I will turn on 20 years) and I'm a law student.
I discovered BTS when I had passed a rough way... it was hard times at that time, but they helped me a lot. And they still helps me a lot on my daily life.
I am happy and proud to being an ARMY and support BTS 💜
It makes me feel really happy that you were able to find them when you did and that you feel like you could be apart of such a fandom. Thank you for seeing our boys in a different light. They truly bring happiness and positivity to so many people around the world. I hope that the same amount of happiness and positivity they have given us, given me, be experienced by you. Again, thank you for this. It means a lot to me as an ARMY.
WHO IS BTS - THE SEVEN MEMBERS OF BANGTAN. Imo, getting to know each of them, (they are so different), is more important at this point in your journey than knowing about us. We can wait. 💜💜💜 💜💜💜💜
Welcome in this beautiful purple world!
Hi there!! 51 year old ARMY here in the USA! I found them shortly after I lost my job due to COVID last March. I am still unemployed, and due to this, i have been able to watch most of their content!! It really helps me get through these days of being home. Being here with fellow ARMY and new fans to BTS is so much fun to watch their reactions to them! I recently got my COVID vaccinations and for each one, while I was waiting, I watched recent RUN BTS episodes to help me not be nervous or scared before and after getting them.
I love this fandom, I love our boys and I love that you are learning more about who they TRULY are...not just as idols...but amazing human beings!
Borahae💜 I purple you!! 💜
I'm 23 years old and from India currently pursuing my LLB. BTS has been the best thing that happened to me when i was going through a really rough time 3 yrs back.
I'm 19 from india 💜 welcome to ARMY 💜
26yo, Army, from Bosnia and Herzegovina... I've been with them for 5 years and they continue to inspire and comfort me.
I found bts in early 2017 and i love them more and more every day...
I am 21 and im from germany, i learned my job, social assistent for people with disabillities, when i was 17 and i had to move far away from my family(the longest i have been away from my family before that was 1 week)thats the same time when i found bts...they helped me through such hard times(grandparents died a few weeks apart from eachother, dog died, illnesses, bullying, etc...) i think bts has saved my life in so many diffrent ways and i will forever be thankful for that!!
I forget how many time I have watched the introduction video and matter how many times I keep watching this I just can't get enough.
I mean it's just so nice having other people eggknowledge them and come to like them . will it's the same for all the army we just want people to like them and love them just like we do 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I am 29 and a Single Mom from The Philippines, their song actually's on my playlist. I work happily and got me motivated, they helped me to love myself again after losing my confidence after what my ex did. They made me realize that i can be loved and I am worth it.
Their song saved me, they came at the right time for me.
A new subscriber ☺️
Thanks for this reaction - I love your genuine positive shock at learning more about all that they are.
I think that the hard-working and humble attitude is one that is fostered in Kpop, which is a whole special industry and culture with its own fascination.
I'm 66, retired, and live in Derbyshire. I deliberately looked into KPop after I lost my job in 2019, and immediately found BTS and immediately became ARMY. It was their dance skills first, and their music, but very quickly I became captured by their message and their personalities. Since then I've found many internet friends through our fandom and mutual love for BTS, and someday soon may meet them in real life. However, those relationships are none-the-less real and incredibly supportive.
Most bands are recruited young. JK was 14 western age when he left home to join BigHit (and only Jin was out of his teens) and was more or less brought up by the company and his hyungs, who also brought each other up. I believe that BigHit was one of the most progressive companies in the industry, adopting an almost fatherly role for their trainees, for example acknowledging the need to support artists' mental health and provide counselling, which is still rare in other companies - though they are catching up. Also most trainees have a no dating clause in their contracts - BH doesn't - though it's very very hard for artists to date because of the insanely packed schedules.
I find translation of the lyrics very important to my process. They spend hard time and tears on the lyrics, so they matter to me. I use a site called doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com for this : it includes all their albums, solo projects, and free mixtapes and releases on soundcloud. Each lyric page includes a link to the track or the MV so that you can listen and follow the lyrics, which are provided in Korean Hangul and English and they are available, in my experience. ALMOST on the day the album is issued. They also provide notes on cultural specificities and word play. Love it. I've spent many a happy hour here mainlining their individual projects and inhaling the lyrics!
The person (I assume a lady) who runs the doolset site was also involved in the relatively recent White Paper Project. This was started after BTS was sucked into the controversy with Japan resulting from Korea insisting that Japan apologise for their abuses during their occupation of Korea (from about 1910 until after WWII), most publicly focussed on the enforced enslavement of Korean women as "comfort women". This project aimed to correct misinformation, and inform the world about the reality of the very sensitive relationship between Korea and Japan which has lasted many years, the reasons for it, and why it persists today. The paper involved many experts from around the world, was published in Korean, Japanese, English (and I think in other languages). It is a formal academic document, very detailed, with complete references, and is 116 pages long. It was published for free. I've tried to read it, but it's very academic and respectable ... and long. So I feel that doolset's translations are reliable.
Another source you might find useful are the various RUclips channels explaining culturally specific issues in BTS music. I love these, and cannot do without them. DKDKTV have done a couple of "explained by a Korean" videos and I recommend the one about Paldongsan, also Known as the Satoori rap, in which BTS members rap in their own dialects from around Korea - it's very funny and I think you'll also enjoy it.

Explained - ruclips.net/video/l48zU1h00jw/видео.html
Check out theor channel for others, including Ddaeng and Ugh. You will, I think, like.
I also love BookishTheories - her explanation of Spring Day (issued in 2016 and never out of the Korean charts since then) is beautiful - ruclips.net/video/Tye1ONFeKis/видео.html (... this is on a channel called Bangtan Vibes, but I remember it as Bookish Theories' work - it's no longer available on her channel, though others are.)
I strongly encourage you to look more deeply into the meaning of each song - especially the ones that particularly appeal to you. I think that a large proportion of ARMY are devoted to Bangtan BECAUSE of the meaningful nature of their lyrics. There are many many KPop bands who come close to BTS in performance, and the quality of their music, but I know of none who offer such thoughtful and though-provoking, and downright comforting lyrics.
Thanks again - and sorry for the INTERMINABLE comment! I find it hard to stoppppp!
32 yr old BTS ARMY from South Dakota, mother of 2 kids, and BTS has helped me through my mental health through their music. They are amazing and my girls love them!
So excited 😁🔥
I'm 37, and I'm from Philippines, a business woman.. I really love them so much.. I support their platform their message. With my fellow Army friends here in our place. Actually we have our Group Chat age ranges from 20-40+. The Group Chat we created for our BTS Updates Activities.. where we can share our opinion, thoughts, feelings for BTS.
I am a girl, 16 years old, I am from Belgium 🇧🇪 Army since December 18, 2020 but it feels like I've known them for a longer time :)) I became an Army because my best friend introduced me to them. I always feel loved and appreciated💜
And they motivate me to study lmao
