Boracity is basically carrying the RUclips ARMY world on her back. She is very much appreciated in our fandom. I'm so curious what she studied because the way she structures her videos and the way she speaks is just amazing
I absolutely respect the fact that you're not quick to label yourself Army and for saying that it's something that's a little more in depth. Nowadays any reactor is quick to claim to be Army after 10 seconds of listening, yet they don't have that kind of reaction to any other artist 🥴 Its that Army interaction/attention that they want. We know it's all for clout. There's a difference between being a fan vs being a stan. I hate that word, but you know what I mean.
28:32 Nicole was the head of bts' creative department as well as A&R for bts and txt. She left Hybe to be a vice president of A&R at Columbia Records. She has worked with bts for about 6 years and is one of the few staff members we've actually seen in the Bangtan Bombs although most ARMYs know her because she often also translated for the members. Anything else in the title or the thumbnail of that video is clickbait.
You are literally the only “reactor” I watch, you often give insight into the industry side of things and that’s great. Another thing I love, especially as a black fan of BTS is how you relate the content with black culture which shows how you’re personalising it all while being respectful which is not common in black and Asian interactions, if we’re being honest.
I feel that’s the only way it’s okay for me to do reactions. If I don’t add my own two cents and say what I’m really feeling. Than I’m not doing anything worth watching or doing. As far as what other black or Asian reactors do. I don’t watch reactions myself. I’d be curious to hear what they do. I can imagine it’s fuckery but I’m not aware.
That's why I appreciate when u keeping it real.. Reacting to bts personality videos when u can't fully give attention to music reactions.. Actually your honesty is very entertaining 😂💜
You know it and I know it. He snuck in that man house in the dead of night when lamarcus was out eating dinner and having drinks. Stole away with those chains and top and did that Photoshoot.
I watch a lot of BtS content and I love reaction channels. But I’m picky. You’re one of the newer channels I love. You actually react, you give insights, you’re funny, you’re adorably cute and you’re honest about what you like and don’t like but you’re always respectful and explain. 💜💜💜
Monq is legit. Learn a lot about hip hop history from him. I also mostly like Knox hill, he’s got a persona that can seem fake and he would never criticize bts so always likes the song, but his lyric and music analysis is usually on point and unique. Anthony ray is a chill cool dude and very talented.
boracity is onto something. i noticed this last year and since then i started following professionals who make videos with critical and valuable input like vocal coaches, producers, editors for mvs because i feel like as a fan who does not have any expertise in these sectors, i dont understand all of the actual hardwork they put and i learnt so much about vocals, how hard certain performances are although i didnt know before. my favorite channel is dj jino who is a korean american who used to be a dj and just like you will comment honestly about a song when it comes out and give meaningful comments (he actually had a lot of solos and antis fighting him for it). sebastine (the creator who mistakenly watched a video by boracity twice) is a ppretty descent guy. ive been following him for a year. he's a casual fan but i've seen him respond to haters and antis who didn't like his 'bias' for bts since he listens to a lot of other groups. also he reposted boracity's video both on yt and instagram and suggested to watch it because he himself learned from it. i like to trust the videos i watched. i like you as yt channel because you have great commentary on beats and raps and im excited for when you start bts albums. great reaction!
Yup..i love dj jino..& i was following sabastian since his first reaction to BTS... absolutely love shiki as well..there are few amazing genuine BTS reactor/ARMYs on yt out there...btw happy 10 yrs with Bangtan ARMYs 💜
Dj Jino isn’t rlly that good tbh. It’s okay to have opinions and not like songs but he picks at everything Jimin does, it’s kinda odd. Ntm most of his subscribers r ppl who dislike Jimin and are waiting for him to shit on his work..
"You for the streets musically" 😂😂😂 Nah for real... mfs be pandering. You can't be commenting on music if you don't have taste for good music. 41:00 yes you are right... it is definitely a niche uninformed group of armys who are on these. I like your videos cus you have great insights and your comments are hilarious. Plus you being a musician adds more flavour to your content. You got something to add always and that's a good thing. That's what we here for. 💜
I can't tell you how irritating it is to keep having these drama channels and random edit channels recommended even after blocking them, the block tool on RUclips is so shitty The best platform to keep up with bts is twitter, no doubt
I had quiet an interesting journey as an ARMY and am quiet grateful for it. I first heard of the group in 2016. But started diving deep in 2019 only. And yet it took me the end of 2021 to absolutely say am an army. Because their music started affecting the way i questioned my principles, my lifestyle, my toxicity, my beauty, my love life and most imp my mental health, that it caught me offgaurd and i felt like being their fan wasnt a term i wanted to throw around until process its feeling. Also I was completely out of community until i knew i was an absolute army. Bts is not something most of the public considers 'cool'. What is considered cool in society has double the amount of conflicted fans but will easily get ignored (sports, marvel, american hiphop artists etc.). And thereby insecurity as an army is a huge deal. Growing from the phase of being vulnerable to shallow accusations and ignorance, to easily seeing through the outsiders preassumptions or an insiders tactical creation of negative narratives around the group and its fans is trully imp. I dont recommend joining twitter without having had that growth as their fan. Cause twitter has triple the shallow judgement you see on youtube. But once your opinions are matured enough to not waver by lame bandwagon's of the society, twitter is a go to for an army. Cause you will know how to ignore the bs and yet be uptodate with not just new releases but the everchanging social thought process that exists within and outside the fandom. Cause ultimately the music is the primary reason we are here. And for whom it isnt your primary reason, i can gaurantee even if you felt like an army at some point it wont take you long to be the so called 'ex' army. Your vids atleast aint pretentious you call yourself out if required, and dont overassume your interest in them. And that is trully enjoyable!
I am both glad I joined Twitter a few years back but also kinda sad I didn’t join sooner. Because of that, I missed the Speak Yourself Tour. Then again the Cancelled MOTS Tour. But I am looking forward for the BTS Reunion TOUR which I will not miss :)
I joined Twitter right away but spent probably about 1 years only following translators, account updates, etc. I slowly started following other armys once I felt more comfortable and started curating the time line. I think its the best platform for armys but everyone should do it at their own pace
personally I think Twitter people are a lot more judgmental and honestly has a ton of cancel culture which I don’t like. Yes it has its upsides but definitely it’s downsides just like anything else, but I personally find YT less drama free, less cancel culture, and less judgmental in my opinion…
I'm genuinely speaking u sir and tribe loui are the only new channels I watch when it comes to the tannies Becuz u really care about the quality U respect the members and their craft and u actually say things that make sense. I'm so happy I came across u two becuz u literally bring me joy all the time
I agree! Jurnalist, Tribe Loui and for me also GameBoyy 310 are really genuine and have great things to say and contribute to the reaction. I'm always curious about their thoughts and really appreciate their reactions💜
2 years ago I discovered lenny lenny, chiu views and sammycam, I remember being excited when they drop their content But now I'm so disappointed becuz wtf are they doing rn, for me they are doing reactions for the sake of my money and views not the genuine reactions they used to do years ago
ALSO yesss a lot of armys are very beautiful ppl so idk wtf ameere was talking abt 💀 we have an army selfie day on twt and i get blown every every time. My fav is black army selfie day bc whew, im telling you, my mutuals are lengggg 😮💨 even if we werent "pretty" i dont understand what that has to do w anything tho.
I really do appreciate your content. I work from home and watch a lot of youtube while working. I LOVE reaction channels and Bora isn't lying it's hard to find genuine channels. I always enjoy your content the most because you seem like a genuine guy who is genuinely interested in the things you post (and you are hella funny with your commentary regardless if it's about BTS or not) and it's refreshing. I hardly ever comment on youtube but when I do it's because I want to interact with people I know aren't bullshitting. Thank you for being you and staying true to yourself 💜
Streaming is not for money, it's needed in the charts. There is an examples when the color coded videos have ×2 views than the official audio (Gogo lyric video has 114 m, official audio 49 m). It's a big problem. Also some channel made fake mv for Take two and it has more than million views that could be official audio views.
Everyone understands but the need still persists. Those videos, although often fraudulent, provide an attractive service that other lyric sources don't; a visual representation of the member singing each line, and paired with the eng lyrics AND the romanization. DoolSet is great but not as easy to follow, and the official audio never has subs. Their usage will not decrease useless an alternative that is just as good is made available. Hate it but it is very much a fact that those lyric vids are used as a way to memorize the Korean lyrics for non-Korean speakers.
@@monimuppet6132 I agree. I think company should pay attention to that and release audios with lyrics. But this didn't happened yet, so we at least can listen to official audio after color coded.
You can't stream the song or mv without watching something else in between - you have to watch at least 2 videos before going back to the first one otherwise it looks like bot behavior. So for the other videos some will watch other BTS videos that they have goals for, some will go to a reaction and some will go between the lyric video and something else because they like the song and want to hear it more. Also HYBE (BigHit) should know by now that people need the lyrics or lyric videos and can/should provide these. If they aren't doing that at this stage of the game then people shouldn't criticize the ones that are providing lyric videos and getting views for it. (side note - I don't personally watch lyric videos but I don't hate on people who do)
@cnot4948 There have been subtitles to new BTS music for a couple years now. You just have to turn subtitles on. There is zero excuses for going to another video to find out the English translations when the official video will have them for you. So that's a lame excuse. Now that youtube has changed the way they count streaming, where you have to watch other videos in-between, I get it. But in the first 24 hours, it's best to just let the official music video be the only one out there. Cause there are people who will watch or hear something only once, and if they click on a lyric video, or a reaction, and not the official video, that streaming view is forever lost from BTS. That's why most ARMYs are so against reaction and lyric videos in the first 24 hours. It takes views away from the actual video. Not everyone will use them as filler videos. After the first 24 hours, then enjoy them to your hearts content.
@@GrumpyKay Yes all BTS official music videos have captions and have had them since late 2015 early 2016. It's all their other songs I'm referring to. I have a bunch of songs from MOTS7 and Be album on my YT playlist from their official channel and none of them have lyrics or captions available such as 'Louder Than Bombs', Stay' and so on. It is these kind of songs I'm referring to when I say BigHit should be including captions or at least making their own lyric video for - at least that way they (BTS) still get credit for the views.
Honestly the lyric videos that are a problem is the ones with the extra music in the end. So when you are trying to look for lyric video check the length of the song and see if it matches the lyric video. The ones with the extra music are getting around the copyright clause. This information came from a video one of these lyric video guys made.
My thing is I have no problem w channels that do multiple kpop groups but a lot of channels will start with bts then once they start reacting to other groups they start shading bts and being weird. RUclips armys defend them because they “aren’t being fake” this one channel made a video like last year reacting to the shit joe budden said about them and was basically excusing it in my eyes. Then went on to shade bts saying they weren’t working as hard as other groups but got a Grammy nomination. Other more talented groups deserved jt more but didn’t bc armys only support bts and felt like armys should be supporting kpop as a whole not just bts because bts shouldn’t be the only ones getting success. Like it’s a group project or something☠️ that channel only does bts reactions on their patreon now because armys are “toxic and can’t handle opinions”
Bora do be comin with the savage like it's just another Tuesday 😂. And you may not be aiming to entertain but damn if you're not good at it. Ngl I have a bit of an internet crush now bcs you're too funny ☺️🤣. I went through a phase as a baby ARMY of eating up reactions. But it's been 5 years now and I rarely bother subscribing to the channel even when I do like some of their reactions. I'm very happy to be subbed to you tho. You're definitely a fav. Also, hair was lookin extra nice this vid.
RUclips reactions helped make me an ARMY, as I don't really have anyone IRL who listens to them. It helped me feel like I was part of a community and not so alone (especially if they were starting their reaction journey around the same time I did), I could see if they were excited about the same parts I was, pointed out something I had missed, etc. I am much more discerning about who I watch now. I don't mind if a reactor listens to other groups (I just simply don't watch those videos, with the exception of a few like The Rose and OnlyOneOf). What drives me nuts though is if they build their channel on BTS and then prioritize other groups, especially when new BTS content comes out. Like, it's your channel do what you want but respect the people who helped give you your audience. I definitely now prefer the reactors who are professionals in music, engineering, video production, etc. as I like to hear their analysis on those elements that I might not have initially noticed/appreciated listening by myself. I like your channel because you are genuinely interested in BTS and you actually have something to say, and your entertaining when you say it. Stick to that formula and I think you will be just fine (and will stay off Boracity's s#!t list 😂).
You commenting on this entire is why I enjoy your videos Jurnalist! The insights & education on the actual music (BTS & ohers on your channel), along with the verbal entertainment on crack vids! *chef's kiss* 🖤🥀
@24:00 Boracity has made a **deliberate** error in characterization: He's one of the two from DKDKTV, who have spent Hours creating incredibly detailed Explainer Videos, putting BTS in Cultural Context, lyrically and visually. She pulled a Disci in excising the comment for drama
Some lyric videos actually add an epilogue song to their videos so they can monetize the video without monetizing the (bts) song itself Specially fuckass Jaeguchi and Lemoring
RUclips comment sections often reflect the sort of person the channel is. If your channel is formatted in a way that openly values sincerity, honesty, individualism, education on the topics being discussed and a desire to engage meaningfully with content, the right audience will find you and stay while the wrong audience will be filtered out. I think I talked about this in a comment in one of your earliest BTS videos. You were starting to get certain comments and it became clear that however you chose to respond would shape what sort of community you built in the comment section. I could tell how you'd respond (and I was right) so I stuck around. Many other channels mess up by being so desperate to keep all ARMY viewerships that they bend over backwards to cater to some fans. In the end the dig a hole for themselves and send out a bat signal that their channel is a good haven for immature minors, solos, antis, mantis, etc so their comments start to reflect that petty cattiness, fan wars, silly discussions and so on. The sort of meaningful comments you get is because you put your foot down early and that made people leave. So you don't get silly discourse on who is the hottest member and which members should leave the group to go solo or who has the prettiest double eyelids. You were no-nonsense from the beginning and it was clear that you would not be swayed for the sake of desperately clinging to views. This is why I try to comment often. Not just because I enjoy engaging (because I do), but because we need solid channels like these to get good engagement so more ARMY can find them and have good creators do well in the algorithm. I found your channel through twitter ARMY suggestions.
But last month when I questioned this I got shouted down. Not by Jurnalist, he was a gentleman and kept dialogue open…other ARMYs came at me for even daring to broach the topic. Now, here we are a month later with 4 flat tires on the bandwagon. Boracity is calling out ARMY as much as the content creators but I guess we conveniently missed that message 🤷🏻♀️
@Jurnalist there's rlly few things as special as having someone else get to know and appreciate something that you love as much as you do, which is why so many armys love reaction channels. I seriously choose the reaction channels i watch very carefully bc i used to watch every reaction channel under the sun and i was constantly disappointed by how clout and money hungry a lot of these guys turned out to be. im telling u now, you're on the right track. You're genuine, you're real, you say when you like something and when you don't. You're going as chronologically as you possibly can with this insane amount of content, unlike a lot of other reactors who don't listen to armys and just react to songs randomly. Bts's art definitely builds upon itself and the order in which their content is consumed is so important, so im also rlly glad that you're doing this in an organized way, while doing other fun stuff like checking out the edits and compilations and analysis videos. I would already pretty much consider you a baby army, but i think once you start on bts's group content, you might start feeling more comfortable with that title, seeing as you will very clearly understand their message and idk, maybe it will resonate with you. Pls keep doing what you're doing 💜
Personally, if we are talking Pateron, I don’t have the biggest deal with it depending on the content they put on it, how much they charge, and how the Pateron started. I know that a few channels weren’t planning on doing a Pateron but the comments section pressured them into because of how much gets blocked, especially lately. I don’t think a lot of channel know how to make it free but try and go as low as possible and release everything they can on YT. I have been in YT for like 2 years now and have grown to know what channel I like and are fake. Personally I think some people are too judgmental on some channels. However a ton of channels definitely are fake…
I'm gonna be honest. I get it if people are trying to make income out of BTS videos if ATLEAST they genuinely like BTS and enjoy the content they are reacting to. But those channels are SO BAD. They be posting random videos of kpop every single day just blankly watching, some even deleted and reposted same videos claiming it as "new reaction". These people are so unashamed to show that they are just benefiting BTS and Army to gain what they want. and what makes me soooo frustrated is that Army STILL WATCH THEIR VIDEOS. Like stop- guys just stop watching them pls ughhh 😂
She's really done her work. In fact, I recognized everyone of the channels she showed, especially those who break into second and third channels doing the same content (how do they think they aren't going to be recognized by simply adding or subtracting one reactors?) Also, the K drama channels, I haven't seen them for a long time since once I've found out, I just put them under no recommendation list and that list is pretty long, since I get recs from Korean channels as well.
That dude in the kpop drama section, I really don't like him I usually see the kpop news channels that have 3 minutes video at max they go straight to the point. But you know RUclips algorithm they considered him the same content and the first video from his channel that i saw almost made my heart stop it was about jimin. If you don't know (and I'm guessing you don't) jimin used to struggle with his weight in the early years it was pretty bad and was hard to watch him struggle like that but he got better thankfully. the title he used was something like (jimin relapse with eating disorder) I was pretty horrified and clicked out right after I knew it was a lie (and was pretty pissed ) I always ignore his video and very tempted to block him
I've been avoiding this video because I wanted to stay out of the politics... but I have to admit that she said some things I've been thinking. But the reality is people are gonna do what the fuck they want. This will only fall on the ears of those who give a fuck. The majority... dont or are oblivious.
I hate everyone tooo!!!! lol Love that you call us a gang, I dont do anything crazy in this fandom but I have seen people here go in to war though and its crazy. Everytime you say L' marcus gets me LMAO.
“I hate everybody”…damn straight Jurnlist…you do and that’s why I watch you… plus, you were the first one I have ever heard call us a gang…and we are. Army COMPLETELY is! 😂😂😂
I don't usually stick around with reaction channels, so you're an exception for me. I love the commentary that you offer and your own input as a musician, and you seem to only watch content that you think might be interesting for you, which results in more engaging videos and nice discussions happening in the comments... Plus I'm invested in your career and want to see you achieve your dreams 💜 there's only one other channel that comes close for me, but you're my favourite :>
we appreciate you fr 🙏🙏 I personally tried recommending your channel to other armys, and they all liked you a lot! HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY BTS💜 APONANGBO 💜
What made me watch one of your Video and Made me subscribe: -there are Videos in your channel, this isnt a new one that starts reacting to BTS with the first video or after a few -you didn't stop doing your other Videos, the amount of time channels turned into BTS or rather kpop channels down the line suddenly.... -you have ACTUAL opinions which is rare and thats kind of sad -actually listening to the music, to comments and respond -you are actually funny and incorporated your own interest into your videos, the Outfit commentary and such And all of this may seem like Kind of normal stuff but is Kind of really hard to find
I hope you won't slow down the content because of this.. I like watching reaction videos because I'm lonely and it feels like I'm watching it with someone.. and as someone who consumes a lot, a LOT of YT content.. you fall into the good content category. Your content is smart, you do pay attention to what you're watching, you notice details in the back of the picture and the blings on people's shoes, you have smart commentary and an objective view.. you're open-minded and curious, or at least that's how you come across, so regardless if it's genuine or intentional, I feel like you fall into the good category of accounts if we judge by these standards.. The fact that you understand the context of what you are watching makes your humour genuine. You're one of the few people that films the time when you learn the context as well ( with all the videos that are not music ) and this is also fine.. I enjoy watching people learn about new stuff and learning with them sometimes.. But yeah.. otherwise shit's not great around, outside of a few accounts.. to sumarise :))
With these videos she's talking about these topics with ARMYs esp. twt armys where we show our support in form of streaming, buying n stuff just keep this in mind. I'm pretty sure that's why she said to avoid lyric because armys use doolset for lyrics and explaination. If armys watch color coded vids that could've gone to the official MV it's delaying us from reaching out army goals. And You are doing fine.
Making diff comments bcs they’re about diff things and I hate super long comments. What she meant about channels showing a new face: that channel does reactions to multiple kpop groups and basically like any and everyone. They reacted to boracitys videos and felt some type of way bc they thought she was dragging these other groups that they love so much. Denying shit that bts has done and their impact, invalidating stuff they went through, downplaying their talent etc. they were just hella defensive for no reason. Ppl were trying to explain to them in the comments and even boracity commented but they felt like we were being “toxic and negative” and deleted the video☠️
33:49 ngl i watch EVERY iteration of that hitler video that i come across lmaooo they’re just too good i think that if anyone is actually subbing that long of a scene and w the care for that timing…..it’s just gonna be good either way 😂😂😂
when i first became a baby army i followed and watched a lot of reactors and whatnot, after a while i saw a repeating pattern of praise or happy fake bs and got bored. now there’s only 3 channels i actively follow and support, one of them being you. when you don’t like something you say it, like some songs on the members albums you’d say you don’t like or it’s not something you’d listen to again. honestly it’s like a breath of fresh air when i hear you say you don’t like a song bc everyone always says yes to everything and it’s just boring, also when you roast their outfits 😂😂 your commentary is top tier,,i love it. the other two reaction channels i follow, one of them are both very entertaining and kinda all over the place(idk how to explain it) that it’s chaotic enough for my adhd brain to enjoy and keep up and keep my attention but they also take the time to stop and really reflect on the songs and the music and etc(as chaotic and fun they may be they get really deep and dark, they really reflect and dig into the subjects),,the other channel, i learn about stuff musically, whenever they’d here a certain note or how the instruments are being played they stop and talk about it while also talking about the meaning of the song itself and everything over all. other than that, i’ll watch random videos from other reactors but that’s it. thank you for being a genuine reactor and for not being afraid to voice your true opinions on what you see.
24:12 thats one of the Guys from dkdktv right? They have such good Videos in explaining Songs Like ddaeng but then they turned a bit weird, and then the comments about getting whitelisted by YG for their reaction to that agencys music💀
You are definitely one of the most genuine reactors out here. You never ham it up, you give reasons as to why you like something or why you don’t, and you’re respectful. As for being army, I think you’re well on your way to being one, but I admire that you’re not just jumping on the bandwagon for the sake of it. I love how you are learning about the members through their music and funny videos, and even sometimes when you don’t have context you still see the humour in their carry on. It’s fun to see your reaction when you pick up on the context though, and getting more familiar with the fandom inside jokes and the members ways. Keep doing what you’re doing Jurnalist, keep it honest. I can’t wait to see the D-day in Jpn reaction, that man pulls off a show! 🙌
doolset has amazing and accurate lyrics! as well as brief explanations to certain cultural phrases or wordplay and also brief summaries on the songs meaning!
ayee hello there i almost never comment and interact much but i love your content a lot. it seems like you’re very genuine and you have lots of interesting stories as well which i always enjoy listening to. also brits are rubbing on you lmao. an american saying dickhead shouldn’t set me off this much hahahahah keep the good work up
I just want to say that I subscribe here because: I respect you and appreciate that you are honest. You bring new thoughts and opinions. If you stressed about the views like others do, your content would be very different. Bora is mostly right, but she is too harsh on people just having fun. That double eyelids or nose mole poll is a stupid topic, but why get all twisted about it? Let's all take a deep breath. Not every ARMY is an adult, nor is every ARMY a deep thinker.
I LOVE my boy Jurnalist! You are always speaking FACTS!!! This is why the reactors I tend to whatch are musicians, producers, vocal teachers, and people who read the lyrics. And who give their HONEST reactions.
21:48 I remember that, I saw something on Twitter and wanted to See what they actually Said, which was basically disagreeing with literally everything that was slightly negative against anybody of another group/company. The comments were füll of other fandoms saying it was Just biased missinformation and armys debunking that and as soon as they started fighting the Video got deleted. Like that never happend
I've been into the reaction thing for a while now and like what others have already been saying, you're really one of the most genuine people I've seen... I also feel that because you are critical, it actually makes it worth more when you do say something positive. And often times you also point out negative things/ potentially problematic things about bts/army, which I've also thought before. Other reactors just don't seem to notice or care about those things (or are afraid to be criticised when mentioning them idk) or just accept it if they don't understand something and it's really bothering me because I feel that if you don't also care about those negative/unclear things, that just means you're not actually interested and paying attention... ( e.g. the way you were very doubtful of bts actually still being independant) Yeah so anyway, thanks for that haha I'm just binge watching your reactions lately so I suppose it's obvious I'm enjoying them lol
I applaud you for doing a reaction to this video. Honestly, I think you can because you are genuine with your reactions. I've seen several reactors who usually react to boracity videos and they haven't posted this one😅
I agree with 60% of that is being said. I am a multi-fan and will remain that way. I am ARMY & BTS fan. I actually checked out the fandom and felt these were honourable people before I really got into BTS. To clarify about @DKDKTV Dani (and David.) Dani was the one that said he only does BTS content for views. He was doing his sarcastic dry humour that gets him in trouble like now. In that clip although he was being honest in part he is very sarcastic to his detriment. He does not know how to filter himself and stop being arrogant. Dani is actually into indie music but they used to do lots of reactions. They do great AS EXPLAINED BY A KOREAN to BTS music even delving into Jungism (MOTS7), psychology. There I have to say Boracity took his sarcsm as truth. Tp be honest I personally feel that Dani has low self esteem although a brilliant, caring guy so he has to be the 'shock Jock' so to speak, which is mask. His co-host David is ARMY so they will both watch and give honest opinions. I honestly do not see anyhting wrong in reacting to content twice with time apart, people may have a different mindset than before. However it should be clearly stated as revisiting a video. As for Ameere, I will check back in a few months to see his progress and mind set. People do change.
With this said, I love your channel w/c I look forward to everyday... your commentaries are interesting. Also, pls do take it at your own pace and I'm happy that you enjoy what you watch, don't be pressured to react just to show reaction... Watching you having blank face in some parts then suddenly lightening up and w/ your spontaneous sometimes hilarious sometimes insightful sometimes personal & profound commentaries are precious.. I'm more attracted to BTS fans/army who comments w/ substance but I also find simple armies just commenting their fondness in sometimes nonsensical ways and also those commenting cringey (poetic cringey is my cup of tea tho) BTS jokes endearing too, I just hope that they ain't gullible to misinformation and pretentious reactions. Twitter is a great fun and informative place if you know how to discern where you put your attention to. 😊💜
Any attempted gatekeeping of who can or should make bts content is bad news . There are some god awful creators with no clue about bts ( or music in general sometimes) Nothing wrong with reaction channels but only those providing quality content with insightful commentary will last. Army will vote with their feet & not engage long term. Seen it time & time again since started following BTS back in 2015 - channels doing bts content & never cease to be amazing at the power of army regulate content organically. Don't always agree with Boracity but she always makes excellent content with good analysis. Channels like yours giving something different with great quality commentary & fun to watch will last. Once you have armys attention their loyalty is solid. I was already watching your channel for UK grime etc. but was (slightly shocked) to see you start bts content but have enjoyed it so much so thank you. One thing I don't agree with is including Kim Danny & Kim David ( around 24:18) in the same part as Dave Desai. Danny was trying to be funny with the ' more BTS' shit. Dave Desai however has some of the worst clickbait, really horrible
Ameere just getting dunked on everywhere lmao. He ain't escaping his own shenanigans no matter how many vids or comments he's deleted. Even without his shenanigans, his overly performative reactions are just pure cringe. He put a big ass mother's day balloon on camera for a mother's day reaction to prove he loves women lol. Like boy, that balloon is suppose to be at your mama's house, not used as a prop for your fake ass. And he says he was in the Marines, what an embarrassment. Did they teach him how to duck responsibility like that in the Marines or is that just fatherless behavior. Also DJ Jino has delved a long time into everything BTS and still adamantly denies being an Army lol. It's fine to not call yourself Army, some people dislike the labels and such.
I personally like your channel and you are very genuine, thank you. Now the reset is my commentary so sorry in advance for the long coment lol.... Personally, I don't agree with a lot of what Boracity says in a lot of this video but there is a lot that I do agree with. -About Sebatine's channel: He does his reactions live on Twitch and then cuts parts of the live and upload them onto YT for those that aren't on twitch or that miss it (he does hours multiple days of kpop content). He did say at the more at the beginning of the video that (the second time), that he actually realized he did watch it already but decided to watch again. Personally, I don't have a big problem with that because informative videos like that I can't remember everything, and it is nice to hear it multiple times because you get more out of it add you start remembering things you didn't the first time you watch it. Also, I wouldn't consider him a baby ARMY but he is newer like me (2 yearish) and honestly, I have watched so much BTS content in one sitting (to get to know them and everything) that I don't remember all the videos I watched. Yes, I remember clips hear and their, but I wouldn't be able to tell every video I watch and every explanation video I have seen. He is someone that loves a lot of kpop music so and a lot of ARMY criticize that and call him "fake" because of it, but he can like whatever he wants I don't care. Yeah, maybe in my opinion, it is poor choice of music (for some) but he is allowed his opinion. He also he does says there are some songs that he doesn't like, granted it is rarely but he still does. -Also, she shows a lot of clips from one channel that is called (Columbian Cousins and Their Wives): Personally, I really like their channel. I find them pretty honest. There is a style of music they like more than others (they don't really like rap if it is a certain type of rap, at least a couple of them don't) but they are honest if the song is for them (add to playlists) or not. Idk I personally don't have the biggest problem with them. The only thing I can think of that people don't like is Patreon. They do post things on Patreon but I personally have my own standard when it comes to Patreon which are: 1. how much they charge (if it is a high amount then it really shows that they are wanting money) 2. how their Patreon came to be (a lot of people get blocked on YT for reacting to BTS. Some channels are targeted more than others and over the past year it has gotten a lot worse so the audience will recommend a Patreon. There have been a few channels that didn't mean to get a Patreon and I feel they were pressured to do it more than anything, unfortunately, so they will make one but make as cheap as they can go and/or they don't know how to make it free.) 3. what content they put on it (they put majority of their reactions on their that are for things that are free and/or won't get blocked that I have a problem with. Also, a lot will only do early access but upload on YT.) 5. If they are honest where the money goes and are transparent about it/ Patreon -Clip bait: Personally, I don't have a problem with clip bait as long as they aren't overdoing it (the clip bait shows their true personalities), not lying, or not false clip bait. (However, news channels about BTS/kpop on YT are awful) -I do agree and disagree when it comes to watching out if they react to every group. Personally, it comes down to the reactor and how they are reacting. However, for the most part if they like every group I am definitely very weary. -As for Twitter vs YT: I have mixed emotions. Personally, I prefer each for different things. Twitter is nice to keep up with what is happening that are true but at the same time is very toxic (even when you are blocking, etc). I find on Twitter a lot of people can become an anti-ARMY or stop being ARMY because of how toxic it can be. Also on Twitter in my opinion people are a lot more judgmental and talk all the time about if you are ARMY, you do this or that which honestly, I don't like. The only thing, in my opinion, to call one ARMY is if you love and support all seven members (and supporting is different for everyone and what they can do with whatever is going on in their life) and be kind to yourself and other; that is it, that is what I call ARMY. YT is a lot less toxic than twitter, but you do have to learn what channels are very fake. I have learned that the comment section reflects a lot on what the channel is like, which is why I find commenting important. If it is a fake channel, you probably will see a lot of shallow comments and/or nothing is added to the conversation. Idk you have to pick and choose your battles.
Twitter ARMYs are not scary tbh like its the definitely the worst platform bc you can see some of the worst takes and just horrible fanwars there, but we really do carry the core fandom. We try hard to integrate in other platforms too bc like boracity said, a lot of casual armys just dont really know a lot of the charity, voting, and streaming we do. It's a fun space if curated well enough.
You're one of the genuine BTS reactors, that's why I subscribed you. I do like to watch BTS reaction but I, as I'm proud to say this, am a tough audience but also a silent and barely commenting. I know all the reactors she mentioned in the video, but I only subscribe to 3 of them. I maybe like to see the other reactors over and over again but I don't subscribe to them right away bc I know some of them only do it for the money or anything but BTS. And I still keep watching them, maybe for entertaining or to see if they're improving to be genuine, if they're not then I simply left not finish watching it. I'm not gonna lie, I was a bit skeptical about you at the beginning and now I see you as one of the genuine one. As for Ameere channel, I did watched his videos, but after I know his true self by the problems with ARMYs, I stopped watching him right away. I'm so disappointed that some ARMYs still support him by saying 'he deserved a second chance' or 'everybody can changed' bullshit. I mean, look at the problem he caused and the way he solved it. Maybe someday he changed but still, he's a big no no to me. So, I'm glad to subscribe to your channel, and you're nice keep going ;)
Its impossible to like everything. Im a hardcore army and there are songs I don't vibe with and that's fine cause BTS has so many different types of songs. There is something for everyone here
And that was exactly what I commented a few weeks ago on one of your Videos : There are certain Videos I Like to watch (the Long Guide being one of them) to see what type of reaction the Person does and how they comment on the content, Just to see If I personally think they are genuine and worth watching a music reaction from, because if I want a simple: "haha nice song" comment to Songs I actually personally really connect to and artists I really like you could Just randomly choose any video reaction. But real dialoge and a new/diffrent perspective with a reactor you actually think is funny or Like their other content from isnt that easy to find
I have a top 10 of reaction channels I actively follow and you're in it because of your honesty. Your reactions are authentic and not exaggerated and I can genuinely learn from your comments some times. When I was a baby ARMY I watched countless reaction videos no matter by whom. However, as time went on, I became very picky when following and subscribing to reaction channels. It's fine if channels react to many/every kpop group, I mean, you do you, but I personally do not believe you deadass like EVERY song by EVERY group. I just don't buy it. I don't think Boracity considers you one of the bad ones so don't worry. You are one of the few authentic reaction channels we have here on RUclips. Keep it up!
A lot of people in the comment have said what needed to be said, so I’m just here to tell you some pics of J Hope for Elle Thailand just dropped and the fashion is something else 🔥
Boracity is 🔥 She is not scared at all.😂 btw I hate dramatic ass reactors. My favorite RUclips channels are DJ Jino's channel and your channel. I watch your videos because you openly say it if you don't like the song or certain part. And the most important thing is you know about the music. Dj jino is also like you he openly talk about the songs also he know about music. The difference is he is a Korean American and you are an African American. I hate when people screaming and running around the room, crying and saying it's so good guys I'm crying wow blah blah blah.. It's my personal opinion I don't like it. I feel so fake. So I don't watch them. I like your videos because you genuinely talk about the song. Btw Thanks for the reaction. I'm waiting to watch your videos every day. So it's okay to upload a lot of videos. We like it. 😅💜
I'm also the same if I see a RUclipsr who just watched the BTS video before a month I don't subscribe because I don't know whether he really likes it or not..
Boracity is basically carrying the RUclips ARMY world on her back. She is very much appreciated in our fandom. I'm so curious what she studied because the way she structures her videos and the way she speaks is just amazing
Yes she is!
So true💯
Jin is a “vampire” because he has looked the same for years and I THINK he has a garlic allergy
I hope Jin doesn't have a garlic allergy, garlic is so good.
@@quatzxicehe has a garlic allergy 😢, and potatoes i think but i'm not sure
He truly hasn't changed since debut it's astounding
@@mariposa-de-plastico yeah he does
Yep garlic and potatoes
I absolutely respect the fact that you're not quick to label yourself Army and for saying that it's something that's a little more in depth. Nowadays any reactor is quick to claim to be Army after 10 seconds of listening, yet they don't have that kind of reaction to any other artist 🥴 Its that Army interaction/attention that they want. We know it's all for clout. There's a difference between being a fan vs being a stan. I hate that word, but you know what I mean.
I agree
28:32 Nicole was the head of bts' creative department as well as A&R for bts and txt. She left Hybe to be a vice president of A&R at Columbia Records. She has worked with bts for about 6 years and is one of the few staff members we've actually seen in the Bangtan Bombs although most ARMYs know her because she often also translated for the members. Anything else in the title or the thumbnail of that video is clickbait.
You are literally the only “reactor” I watch, you often give insight into the industry side of things and that’s great.
Another thing I love, especially as a black fan of BTS is how you relate the content with black culture which shows how you’re personalising it all while being respectful which is not common in black and Asian interactions, if we’re being honest.
I feel that’s the only way it’s okay for me to do reactions. If I don’t add my own two cents and say what I’m really feeling. Than I’m not doing anything worth watching or doing.
As far as what other black or Asian reactors do. I don’t watch reactions myself. I’d be curious to hear what they do. I can imagine it’s fuckery but I’m not aware.
That’s why I love your reactions🤌🏽
That's why I appreciate when u keeping it real.. Reacting to bts personality videos when u can't fully give attention to music reactions.. Actually your honesty is very entertaining 😂💜
37:35 your comment about Jin going through LaMarcus' closet. I busted out laughing so hard I almost choked! You're too much!💜
You know it and I know it. He snuck in that man house in the dead of night when lamarcus was out eating dinner and having drinks. Stole away with those chains and top and did that Photoshoot.
I watch a lot of BtS content and I love reaction channels. But I’m picky. You’re one of the newer channels I love. You actually react, you give insights, you’re funny, you’re adorably cute and you’re honest about what you like and don’t like but you’re always respectful and explain. 💜💜💜
💯
yes true indeed ..i also picky..not just watch them
Monq is legit. Learn a lot about hip hop history from him. I also mostly like Knox hill, he’s got a persona that can seem fake and he would never criticize bts so always likes the song, but his lyric and music analysis is usually on point and unique. Anthony ray is a chill cool dude and very talented.
boracity is onto something. i noticed this last year and since then i started following professionals who make videos with critical and valuable input like vocal coaches, producers, editors for mvs because i feel like as a fan who does not have any expertise in these sectors, i dont understand all of the actual hardwork they put and i learnt so much about vocals, how hard certain performances are although i didnt know before. my favorite channel is dj jino who is a korean american who used to be a dj and just like you will comment honestly about a song when it comes out and give meaningful comments (he actually had a lot of solos and antis fighting him for it).
sebastine (the creator who mistakenly watched a video by boracity twice) is a ppretty descent guy. ive been following him for a year. he's a casual fan but i've seen him respond to haters and antis who didn't like his 'bias' for bts since he listens to a lot of other groups. also he reposted boracity's video both on yt and instagram and suggested to watch it because he himself learned from it. i like to trust the videos i watched.
i like you as yt channel because you have great commentary on beats and raps and im excited for when you start bts albums. great reaction!
Yup..i love dj jino..& i was following sabastian since his first reaction to BTS... absolutely love shiki as well..there are few amazing genuine BTS reactor/ARMYs on yt out there...btw happy 10 yrs with Bangtan ARMYs 💜
Tribe Loui is one of the best reactors right now, many people's standards for reaction channels have been raised after watching his videos.

Dj Jino isn’t rlly that good tbh. It’s okay to have opinions and not like songs but he picks at everything Jimin does, it’s kinda odd. Ntm most of his subscribers r ppl who dislike Jimin and are waiting for him to shit on his work..
"You for the streets musically" 😂😂😂
Nah for real... mfs be pandering.
You can't be commenting on music if you don't have taste for good music.
41:00 yes you are right... it is definitely a niche uninformed group of armys who are on these.
I like your videos cus you have great insights and your comments are hilarious. Plus you being a musician adds more flavour to your content. You got something to add always and that's a good thing. That's what we here for. 💜
I can't tell you how irritating it is to keep having these drama channels and random edit channels recommended even after blocking them, the block tool on RUclips is so shitty
The best platform to keep up with bts is twitter, no doubt
I had quiet an interesting journey as an ARMY and am quiet grateful for it. I first heard of the group in 2016. But started diving deep in 2019 only. And yet it took me the end of 2021 to absolutely say am an army. Because their music started affecting the way i questioned my principles, my lifestyle, my toxicity, my beauty, my love life and most imp my mental health, that it caught me offgaurd and i felt like being their fan wasnt a term i wanted to throw around until process its feeling.
Also I was completely out of community until i knew i was an absolute army.
Bts is not something most of the public considers 'cool'. What is considered cool in society has double the amount of conflicted fans but will easily get ignored (sports, marvel, american hiphop artists etc.). And thereby insecurity as an army is a huge deal. Growing from the phase of being vulnerable to shallow accusations and ignorance, to easily seeing through the outsiders preassumptions or an insiders tactical creation of negative narratives around the group and its fans is trully imp.
I dont recommend joining twitter without having had that growth as their fan. Cause twitter has triple the shallow judgement you see on youtube. But once your opinions are matured enough to not waver by lame bandwagon's of the society, twitter is a go to for an army. Cause you will know how to ignore the bs and yet be uptodate with not just new releases but the everchanging social thought process that exists within and outside the fandom. Cause ultimately the music is the primary reason we are here. And for whom it isnt your primary reason, i can gaurantee even if you felt like an army at some point it wont take you long to be the so called 'ex' army. Your vids atleast aint pretentious you call yourself out if required, and dont overassume your interest in them. And that is trully enjoyable!
I am both glad I joined Twitter a few years back but also kinda sad I didn’t join sooner. Because of that, I missed the Speak Yourself Tour. Then again the Cancelled MOTS Tour. But I am looking forward for the BTS Reunion TOUR which I will not miss :)
This!!! You said it perfectly 💯
I joined Twitter right away but spent probably about 1 years only following translators, account updates, etc. I slowly started following other armys once I felt more comfortable and started curating the time line. I think its the best platform for armys but everyone should do it at their own pace
hate to be that person but
quite*
personally I think Twitter people are a lot more judgmental and honestly has a ton of cancel culture which I don’t like. Yes it has its upsides but definitely it’s downsides just like anything else, but I personally find YT less drama free, less cancel culture, and less judgmental in my opinion…
I'm genuinely speaking u sir and tribe loui are the only new channels I watch when it comes to the tannies
Becuz u really care about the quality
U respect the members and their craft and u actually say things that make sense.
I'm so happy I came across u two becuz u literally bring me joy all the time
I agree! Jurnalist, Tribe Loui and for me also GameBoyy 310 are really genuine and have great things to say and contribute to the reaction. I'm always curious about their thoughts and really appreciate their reactions💜
2 years ago I discovered lenny lenny, chiu views and sammycam, I remember being excited when they drop their content
But now I'm so disappointed becuz wtf are they doing rn, for me they are doing reactions for the sake of my money and views not the genuine reactions they used to do years ago
Sammycam yes. Tribe Loui no
@@bapsi I really like GameBoyy 310, I can tell he’s genuine

Thank you for taking the time to comment on my channel. I appreciate you allowing me to join you while you work as well. 💜
Streaming is not for money, it's needed in the charts. There is an examples when the color coded videos have ×2 views than the official audio (Gogo lyric video has 114 m, official audio 49 m). It's a big problem.
Also some channel made fake mv for Take two and it has more than million views that could be official audio views.
Everyone understands but the need still persists. Those videos, although often fraudulent, provide an attractive service that other lyric sources don't; a visual representation of the member singing each line, and paired with the eng lyrics AND the romanization. DoolSet is great but not as easy to follow, and the official audio never has subs. Their usage will not decrease useless an alternative that is just as good is made available. Hate it but it is very much a fact that those lyric vids are used as a way to memorize the Korean lyrics for non-Korean speakers.
@@monimuppet6132 I agree. I think company should pay attention to that and release audios with lyrics. But this didn't happened yet, so we at least can listen to official audio after color coded.
You can't stream the song or mv without watching something else in between - you have to watch at least 2 videos before going back to the first one otherwise it looks like bot behavior. So for the other videos some will watch other BTS videos that they have goals for, some will go to a reaction and some will go between the lyric video and something else because they like the song and want to hear it more. Also HYBE (BigHit) should know by now that people need the lyrics or lyric videos and can/should provide these. If they aren't doing that at this stage of the game then people shouldn't criticize the ones that are providing lyric videos and getting views for it. (side note - I don't personally watch lyric videos but I don't hate on people who do)
@cnot4948 There have been subtitles to new BTS music for a couple years now. You just have to turn subtitles on. There is zero excuses for going to another video to find out the English translations when the official video will have them for you. So that's a lame excuse. Now that youtube has changed the way they count streaming, where you have to watch other videos in-between, I get it. But in the first 24 hours, it's best to just let the official music video be the only one out there. Cause there are people who will watch or hear something only once, and if they click on a lyric video, or a reaction, and not the official video, that streaming view is forever lost from BTS. That's why most ARMYs are so against reaction and lyric videos in the first 24 hours. It takes views away from the actual video. Not everyone will use them as filler videos. After the first 24 hours, then enjoy them to your hearts content.
@@GrumpyKay Yes all BTS official music videos have captions and have had them since late 2015 early 2016. It's all their other songs I'm referring to. I have a bunch of songs from MOTS7 and Be album on my YT playlist from their official channel and none of them have lyrics or captions available such as 'Louder Than Bombs', Stay' and so on. It is these kind of songs I'm referring to when I say BigHit should be including captions or at least making their own lyric video for - at least that way they (BTS) still get credit for the views.
Yess!! "Parasite" what a good way to put it dude, its exactly what they are! Or bloodsucking eels 😂
Lmao
Honestly the lyric videos that are a problem is the ones with the extra music in the end. So when you are trying to look for lyric video check the length of the song and see if it matches the lyric video. The ones with the extra music are getting around the copyright clause. This information came from a video one of these lyric video guys made.
My thing is I have no problem w channels that do multiple kpop groups but a lot of channels will start with bts then once they start reacting to other groups they start shading bts and being weird. RUclips armys defend them because they “aren’t being fake” this one channel made a video like last year reacting to the shit joe budden said about them and was basically excusing it in my eyes. Then went on to shade bts saying they weren’t working as hard as other groups but got a Grammy nomination. Other more talented groups deserved jt more but didn’t bc armys only support bts and felt like armys should be supporting kpop as a whole not just bts because bts shouldn’t be the only ones getting success. Like it’s a group project or something☠️ that channel only does bts reactions on their patreon now because armys are “toxic and can’t handle opinions”
Bora do be comin with the savage like it's just another Tuesday 😂. And you may not be aiming to entertain but damn if you're not good at it. Ngl I have a bit of an internet crush now bcs you're too funny ☺️🤣.
I went through a phase as a baby ARMY of eating up reactions. But it's been 5 years now and I rarely bother subscribing to the channel even when I do like some of their reactions.
I'm very happy to be subbed to you tho. You're definitely a fav. Also, hair was lookin extra nice this vid.
RUclips reactions helped make me an ARMY, as I don't really have anyone IRL who listens to them. It helped me feel like I was part of a community and not so alone (especially if they were starting their reaction journey around the same time I did), I could see if they were excited about the same parts I was, pointed out something I had missed, etc. I am much more discerning about who I watch now. I don't mind if a reactor listens to other groups (I just simply don't watch those videos, with the exception of a few like The Rose and OnlyOneOf). What drives me nuts though is if they build their channel on BTS and then prioritize other groups, especially when new BTS content comes out. Like, it's your channel do what you want but respect the people who helped give you your audience. I definitely now prefer the reactors who are professionals in music, engineering, video production, etc. as I like to hear their analysis on those elements that I might not have initially noticed/appreciated listening by myself. I like your channel because you are genuinely interested in BTS and you actually have something to say, and your entertaining when you say it. Stick to that formula and I think you will be just fine (and will stay off Boracity's s#!t list 😂).
5:40 😂😂😂😂😂
PS - as Jimin would say "YOU GOOD - KEEP GOING" 💜
🎉 Happy 10 years Everyone
I didn't know he came to shit on you 😭😭😭 bruh thought he is really special 🤣
You commenting on this entire is why I enjoy your videos Jurnalist! The insights & education on the actual music (BTS & ohers on your channel), along with the verbal entertainment on crack vids! *chef's kiss* 🖤🥀
Fun fact: Confirmed, BoraCity will be on a reaction channel's podcast soon! Will send you the link once they post😅
The money from most color coded videos doesn't go to bts. The channels have ways to bypass copyright so they get the money.
@24:00 Boracity has made a **deliberate** error in characterization: He's one of the two from DKDKTV, who have spent Hours creating incredibly detailed Explainer Videos, putting BTS in Cultural Context, lyrically and visually. She pulled a Disci in excising the comment for drama
Some lyric videos actually add an epilogue song to their videos so they can monetize the video without monetizing the (bts) song itself
Specially fuckass Jaeguchi and Lemoring
RUclips comment sections often reflect the sort of person the channel is. If your channel is formatted in a way that openly values sincerity, honesty, individualism, education on the topics being discussed and a desire to engage meaningfully with content, the right audience will find you and stay while the wrong audience will be filtered out. I think I talked about this in a comment in one of your earliest BTS videos. You were starting to get certain comments and it became clear that however you chose to respond would shape what sort of community you built in the comment section. I could tell how you'd respond (and I was right) so I stuck around.
Many other channels mess up by being so desperate to keep all ARMY viewerships that they bend over backwards to cater to some fans. In the end the dig a hole for themselves and send out a bat signal that their channel is a good haven for immature minors, solos, antis, mantis, etc so their comments start to reflect that petty cattiness, fan wars, silly discussions and so on. The sort of meaningful comments you get is because you put your foot down early and that made people leave. So you don't get silly discourse on who is the hottest member and which members should leave the group to go solo or who has the prettiest double eyelids. You were no-nonsense from the beginning and it was clear that you would not be swayed for the sake of desperately clinging to views.
This is why I try to comment often. Not just because I enjoy engaging (because I do), but because we need solid channels like these to get good engagement so more ARMY can find them and have good creators do well in the algorithm. I found your channel through twitter ARMY suggestions.
I agree. The comments definitely reflect what type of channel it is and that is why commenting is important but also see their reply’s too.
I also agree with this. I honestly don't comment often on other videos, but when I feel it's a good one, I like to engage to help boost.
But last month when I questioned this I got shouted down. Not by Jurnalist, he was a gentleman and kept dialogue open…other ARMYs came at me for even daring to broach the topic. Now, here we are a month later with 4 flat tires on the bandwagon. Boracity is calling out ARMY as much as the content creators but I guess we conveniently missed that message 🤷🏻♀️
@Jurnalist there's rlly few things as special as having someone else get to know and appreciate something that you love as much as you do, which is why so many armys love reaction channels. I seriously choose the reaction channels i watch very carefully bc i used to watch every reaction channel under the sun and i was constantly disappointed by how clout and money hungry a lot of these guys turned out to be. im telling u now, you're on the right track. You're genuine, you're real, you say when you like something and when you don't. You're going as chronologically as you possibly can with this insane amount of content, unlike a lot of other reactors who don't listen to armys and just react to songs randomly. Bts's art definitely builds upon itself and the order in which their content is consumed is so important, so im also rlly glad that you're doing this in an organized way, while doing other fun stuff like checking out the edits and compilations and analysis videos. I would already pretty much consider you a baby army, but i think once you start on bts's group content, you might start feeling more comfortable with that title, seeing as you will very clearly understand their message and idk, maybe it will resonate with you. Pls keep doing what you're doing 💜
Personally, if we are talking Pateron, I don’t have the biggest deal with it depending on the content they put on it, how much they charge, and how the Pateron started. I know that a few channels weren’t planning on doing a Pateron but the comments section pressured them into because of how much gets blocked, especially lately. I don’t think a lot of channel know how to make it free but try and go as low as possible and release everything they can on YT.
I have been in YT for like 2 years now and have grown to know what channel I like and are fake. Personally I think some people are too judgmental on some channels. However a ton of channels definitely are fake…
I'm gonna be honest. I get it if people are trying to make income out of BTS videos if ATLEAST they genuinely like BTS and enjoy the content they are reacting to. But those channels are SO BAD. They be posting random videos of kpop every single day just blankly watching, some even deleted and reposted same videos claiming it as "new reaction". These people are so unashamed to show that they are just benefiting BTS and Army to gain what they want. and what makes me soooo frustrated is that Army STILL WATCH THEIR VIDEOS. Like stop- guys just stop watching them pls ughhh 😂
She's really done her work. In fact, I recognized everyone of the channels she showed, especially those who break into second and third channels doing the same content (how do they think they aren't going to be recognized by simply adding or subtracting one reactors?) Also, the K drama channels, I haven't seen them for a long time since once I've found out, I just put them under no recommendation list and that list is pretty long, since I get recs from Korean channels as well.
That dude in the kpop drama section, I really don't like him I usually see the kpop news channels that have 3 minutes video at max they go straight to the point. But you know RUclips algorithm they considered him the same content and the first video from his channel that i saw almost made my heart stop it was about jimin.
If you don't know (and I'm guessing you don't) jimin used to struggle with his weight in the early years it was pretty bad and was hard to watch him struggle like that but he got better thankfully. the title he used was something like (jimin relapse with eating disorder) I was pretty horrified and clicked out right after I knew it was a lie (and was pretty pissed ) I always ignore his video and very tempted to block him
I think you are more of a commentary channel than a reaction channel bc you bring content to the videos you watch, which we love💜
I've been avoiding this video because I wanted to stay out of the politics... but I have to admit that she said some things I've been thinking. But the reality is people are gonna do what the fuck they want. This will only fall on the ears of those who give a fuck. The majority... dont or are oblivious.
I hate everyone tooo!!!! lol
Love that you call us a gang, I dont do anything crazy in this fandom but I have seen people here go in to war though and its crazy.
Everytime you say L' marcus gets me LMAO.
💜
“I hate everybody”…damn straight Jurnlist…you do and that’s why I watch you…
plus, you were the first one I have ever heard call us a gang…and we are. Army COMPLETELY is! 😂😂😂
I don't usually stick around with reaction channels, so you're an exception for me. I love the commentary that you offer and your own input as a musician, and you seem to only watch content that you think might be interesting for you, which results in more engaging videos and nice discussions happening in the comments... Plus I'm invested in your career and want to see you achieve your dreams 💜 there's only one other channel that comes close for me, but you're my favourite :>
we appreciate you fr 🙏🙏 I personally tried recommending your channel to other armys, and they all liked you a lot!
HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY BTS💜 APONANGBO 💜
@17:48 "I hate everybody" 😂😂😂
I love your reactions, especially because they're just so honest
"I hate everybody and everyone" has to be me.
Kinship.
I like your insight and analyses. Subscribed to your channel. Army for 8 years! 💜and I like respectful and honest critics.
Ty for locking in with me. We are in for a very long ride together.
What made me watch one of your Video and Made me subscribe:
-there are Videos in your channel, this isnt a new one that starts reacting to BTS with the first video or after a few
-you didn't stop doing your other Videos, the amount of time channels turned into BTS or rather kpop channels down the line suddenly....
-you have ACTUAL opinions which is rare and thats kind of sad
-actually listening to the music, to comments and respond
-you are actually funny and incorporated your own interest into your videos, the Outfit commentary and such
And all of this may seem like Kind of normal stuff but is Kind of really hard to find
I hope you won't slow down the content because of this.. I like watching reaction videos because I'm lonely and it feels like I'm watching it with someone.. and as someone who consumes a lot, a LOT of YT content.. you fall into the good content category.
Your content is smart, you do pay attention to what you're watching, you notice details in the back of the picture and the blings on people's shoes, you have smart commentary and an objective view.. you're open-minded and curious, or at least that's how you come across, so regardless if it's genuine or intentional, I feel like you fall into the good category of accounts if we judge by these standards..
The fact that you understand the context of what you are watching makes your humour genuine. You're one of the few people that films the time when you learn the context as well ( with all the videos that are not music ) and this is also fine.. I enjoy watching people learn about new stuff and learning with them sometimes..
But yeah.. otherwise shit's not great around, outside of a few accounts.. to sumarise :))
never crossed my mind. 😂😂😂
I will continue to do me and what I want.
I just watched this to see if I was the problem or the solution.
With these videos she's talking about these topics with ARMYs esp. twt armys where we show our support in form of streaming, buying n stuff just keep this in mind. I'm pretty sure that's why she said to avoid lyric because armys use doolset for lyrics and explaination. If armys watch color coded vids that could've gone to the official MV it's delaying us from reaching out army goals. And You are doing fine.
When i tell you i couldn't stop laughing when i seen ameere pop up on this video. Like yass boracity get him and call him out with the rest of them😂😂😂
Me too! I had no idea he commented on his video though and then deleted it 😂 what a b
Making diff comments bcs they’re about diff things and I hate super long comments. What she meant about channels showing a new face: that channel does reactions to multiple kpop groups and basically like any and everyone. They reacted to boracitys videos and felt some type of way bc they thought she was dragging these other groups that they love so much. Denying shit that bts has done and their impact, invalidating stuff they went through, downplaying their talent etc. they were just hella defensive for no reason. Ppl were trying to explain to them in the comments and even boracity commented but they felt like we were being “toxic and negative” and deleted the video☠️
18:45 not "you're for the streets, but musically" 🤣
33:49 ngl i watch EVERY iteration of that hitler video that i come across lmaooo they’re just too good
i think that if anyone is actually subbing that long of a scene and w the care for that timing…..it’s just gonna be good either way 😂😂😂
I follow this channel because your tangents are raw and hilarious. That's the value you add to your reactions.
Respect 🤘💜
Thanks for always being genuine. You are one of the few reactors I subscribe to.
Ty for letting me make the cut. 💜
You’re one of the few actually good new BTS reaction channels! Keep it up❤
You’re one of my favorite BTS reactors because I can see that you’re genuine in your reaction. 💜 thank you
when i first became a baby army i followed and watched a lot of reactors and whatnot, after a while i saw a repeating pattern of praise or happy fake bs and got bored. now there’s only 3 channels i actively follow and support, one of them being you. when you don’t like something you say it, like some songs on the members albums you’d say you don’t like or it’s not something you’d listen to again. honestly it’s like a breath of fresh air when i hear you say you don’t like a song bc everyone always says yes to everything and it’s just boring, also when you roast their outfits 😂😂 your commentary is top tier,,i love it. the other two reaction channels i follow, one of them are both very entertaining and kinda all over the place(idk how to explain it) that it’s chaotic enough for my adhd brain to enjoy and keep up and keep my attention but they also take the time to stop and really reflect on the songs and the music and etc(as chaotic and fun they may be they get really deep and dark, they really reflect and dig into the subjects),,the other channel, i learn about stuff musically, whenever they’d here a certain note or how the instruments are being played they stop and talk about it while also talking about the meaning of the song itself and everything over all. other than that, i’ll watch random videos from other reactors but that’s it. thank you for being a genuine reactor and for not being afraid to voice your true opinions on what you see.
24:12 thats one of the Guys from dkdktv right? They have such good Videos in explaining Songs Like ddaeng but then they turned a bit weird, and then the comments about getting whitelisted by YG for their reaction to that agencys music💀
a critical video about YT Army and here you are 37:28 commenting about Jins outfit 😄💜
You are definitely one of the most genuine reactors out here. You never ham it up, you give reasons as to why you like something or why you don’t, and you’re respectful. As for being army, I think you’re well on your way to being one, but I admire that you’re not just jumping on the bandwagon for the sake of it. I love how you are learning about the members through their music and funny videos, and even sometimes when you don’t have context you still see the humour in their carry on. It’s fun to see your reaction when you pick up on the context though, and getting more familiar with the fandom inside jokes and the members ways. Keep doing what you’re doing Jurnalist, keep it honest. I can’t wait to see the D-day in Jpn reaction, that man pulls off a show! 🙌
you keep it real and actually digest what you’re watching. that completely excludes u from what boracity is saying.
doolset has amazing and accurate lyrics! as well as brief explanations to certain cultural phrases or wordplay and also brief summaries on the songs meaning!
Lyric videos help a lot, I agree with you
ayee hello there
i almost never comment and interact much but i love your content a lot. it seems like you’re very genuine and you have lots of interesting stories as well which i always enjoy listening to. also brits are rubbing on you lmao. an american saying dickhead shouldn’t set me off this much hahahahah keep the good work up
22:05 "The public sucks, f*ck hope!" -George Carlin 😂
I just want to say that I subscribe here because: I respect you and appreciate that you are honest. You bring new thoughts and opinions. If you stressed about the views like others do, your content would be very different.
Bora is mostly right, but she is too harsh on people just having fun. That double eyelids or nose mole poll is a stupid topic, but why get all twisted about it? Let's all take a deep breath. Not every ARMY is an adult, nor is every ARMY a deep thinker.
I LOVE my boy Jurnalist! You are always speaking FACTS!!! This is why the reactors I tend to whatch are musicians, producers, vocal teachers, and people who read the lyrics. And who give their HONEST reactions.
21:48 I remember that, I saw something on Twitter and wanted to See what they actually Said, which was basically disagreeing with literally everything that was slightly negative against anybody of another group/company. The comments were füll of other fandoms saying it was Just biased missinformation and armys debunking that and as soon as they started fighting the Video got deleted. Like that never happend
OMG I hate humans! word 😂
I, for one, totally f with you 😂🙏💜
boracity does not play 😂😂i love her
I've been into the reaction thing for a while now and like what others have already been saying, you're really one of the most genuine people I've seen... I also feel that because you are critical, it actually makes it worth more when you do say something positive. And often times you also point out negative things/ potentially problematic things about bts/army, which I've also thought before. Other reactors just don't seem to notice or care about those things (or are afraid to be criticised when mentioning them idk) or just accept it if they don't understand something and it's really bothering me because I feel that if you don't also care about those negative/unclear things, that just means you're not actually interested and paying attention... ( e.g. the way you were very doubtful of bts actually still being independant)
Yeah so anyway, thanks for that haha
I'm just binge watching your reactions lately so I suppose it's obvious I'm enjoying them lol
I applaud you for doing a reaction to this video. Honestly, I think you can because you are genuine with your reactions. I've seen several reactors who usually react to boracity videos and they haven't posted this one😅
Before I knew about BTS I actually fell for one of those reaction videos😭
yeah i agree will that u said about being an army. took me two years of learning about them to call myself one.
I agree with 60% of that is being said. I am a multi-fan and will remain that way. I am ARMY & BTS fan. I actually checked out the fandom and felt these were honourable people before I really got into BTS. To clarify about @DKDKTV Dani (and David.) Dani was the one that said he only does BTS content for views. He was doing his sarcastic dry humour that gets him in trouble like now. In that clip although he was being honest in part he is very sarcastic to his detriment. He does not know how to filter himself and stop being arrogant. Dani is actually into indie music but they used to do lots of reactions. They do great AS EXPLAINED BY A KOREAN to BTS music even delving into Jungism (MOTS7), psychology. There I have to say Boracity took his sarcsm as truth. Tp be honest I personally feel that Dani has low self esteem although a brilliant, caring guy so he has to be the 'shock Jock' so to speak, which is mask. His co-host David is ARMY so they will both watch and give honest opinions. I honestly do not see anyhting wrong in reacting to content twice with time apart, people may have a different mindset than before. However it should be clearly stated as revisiting a video. As for Ameere, I will check back in a few months to see his progress and mind set. People do change.
Attendance
Stay safe, positive and healthy
Love and support from the Philippines ^_^
With this said, I love your channel w/c I look forward to everyday... your commentaries are interesting. Also, pls do take it at your own pace and I'm happy that you enjoy what you watch, don't be pressured to react just to show reaction... Watching you having blank face in some parts then suddenly lightening up and w/ your spontaneous sometimes hilarious sometimes insightful sometimes personal & profound commentaries are precious.. I'm more attracted to BTS fans/army who comments w/ substance but I also find simple armies just commenting their fondness in sometimes nonsensical ways and also those commenting cringey (poetic cringey is my cup of tea tho) BTS jokes endearing too, I just hope that they ain't gullible to misinformation and pretentious reactions. Twitter is a great fun and informative place if you know how to discern where you put your attention to. 😊💜
Any attempted gatekeeping of who can or should make bts content is bad news . There are some god awful creators with no clue about bts ( or music in general sometimes) Nothing wrong with reaction channels but only those providing quality content with insightful commentary will last. Army will vote with their feet & not engage long term. Seen it time & time again since started following BTS back in 2015 - channels doing bts content & never cease to be amazing at the power of army regulate content organically. Don't always agree with Boracity but she always makes excellent content with good analysis. Channels like yours giving something different with great quality commentary & fun to watch will last. Once you have armys attention their loyalty is solid. I was already watching your channel for UK grime etc. but was (slightly shocked) to see you start bts content but have enjoyed it so much so thank you. One thing I don't agree with is including Kim Danny & Kim David ( around 24:18) in the same part as Dave Desai. Danny was trying to be funny with the ' more BTS' shit. Dave Desai however has some of the worst clickbait, really horrible
Ameere just getting dunked on everywhere lmao. He ain't escaping his own shenanigans no matter how many vids or comments he's deleted. Even without his shenanigans, his overly performative reactions are just pure cringe. He put a big ass mother's day balloon on camera for a mother's day reaction to prove he loves women lol. Like boy, that balloon is suppose to be at your mama's house, not used as a prop for your fake ass. And he says he was in the Marines, what an embarrassment. Did they teach him how to duck responsibility like that in the Marines or is that just fatherless behavior.
Also DJ Jino has delved a long time into everything BTS and still adamantly denies being an Army lol. It's fine to not call yourself Army, some people dislike the labels and such.
You just have to be a good person to be ARMY. That's it; that's the fee.
I personally like your channel and you are very genuine, thank you.
Now the reset is my commentary so sorry in advance for the long coment lol....
Personally, I don't agree with a lot of what Boracity says in a lot of this video but there is a lot that I do agree with.
-About Sebatine's channel: He does his reactions live on Twitch and then cuts parts of the live and upload them onto YT for those that aren't on twitch or that miss it (he does hours multiple days of kpop content). He did say at the more at the beginning of the video that (the second time), that he actually realized he did watch it already but decided to watch again. Personally, I don't have a big problem with that because informative videos like that I can't remember everything, and it is nice to hear it multiple times because you get more out of it add you start remembering things you didn't the first time you watch it.
Also, I wouldn't consider him a baby ARMY but he is newer like me (2 yearish) and honestly, I have watched so much BTS content in one sitting (to get to know them and everything) that I don't remember all the videos I watched. Yes, I remember clips hear and their, but I wouldn't be able to tell every video I watch and every explanation video I have seen.
He is someone that loves a lot of kpop music so and a lot of ARMY criticize that and call him "fake" because of it, but he can like whatever he wants I don't care. Yeah, maybe in my opinion, it is poor choice of music (for some) but he is allowed his opinion. He also he does says there are some songs that he doesn't like, granted it is rarely but he still does.
-Also, she shows a lot of clips from one channel that is called (Columbian Cousins and Their Wives):
Personally, I really like their channel. I find them pretty honest. There is a style of music they like more than others (they don't really like rap if it is a certain type of rap, at least a couple of them don't) but they are honest if the song is for them (add to playlists) or not. Idk I personally don't have the biggest problem with them. The only thing I can think of that people don't like is Patreon. They do post things on Patreon but I personally have my own standard when it comes to Patreon which are: 1. how much they charge (if it is a high amount then it really shows that they are wanting money) 2. how their Patreon came to be (a lot of people get blocked on YT for reacting to BTS. Some channels are targeted more than others and over the past year it has gotten a lot worse so the audience will recommend a Patreon. There have been a few channels that didn't mean to get a Patreon and I feel they were pressured to do it more than anything, unfortunately, so they will make one but make as cheap as they can go and/or they don't know how to make it free.) 3. what content they put on it (they put majority of their reactions on their that are for things that are free and/or won't get blocked that I have a problem with. Also, a lot will only do early access but upload on YT.) 5. If they are honest where the money goes and are transparent about it/ Patreon
-Clip bait: Personally, I don't have a problem with clip bait as long as they aren't overdoing it (the clip bait shows their true personalities), not lying, or not false clip bait. (However, news channels about BTS/kpop on YT are awful)
-I do agree and disagree when it comes to watching out if they react to every group. Personally, it comes down to the reactor and how they are reacting. However, for the most part if they like every group I am definitely very weary.
-As for Twitter vs YT: I have mixed emotions. Personally, I prefer each for different things. Twitter is nice to keep up with what is happening that are true but at the same time is very toxic (even when you are blocking, etc). I find on Twitter a lot of people can become an anti-ARMY or stop being ARMY because of how toxic it can be. Also on Twitter in my opinion people are a lot more judgmental and talk all the time about if you are ARMY, you do this or that which honestly, I don't like. The only thing, in my opinion, to call one ARMY is if you love and support all seven members (and supporting is different for everyone and what they can do with whatever is going on in their life) and be kind to yourself and other; that is it, that is what I call ARMY. YT is a lot less toxic than twitter, but you do have to learn what channels are very fake. I have learned that the comment section reflects a lot on what the channel is like, which is why I find commenting important. If it is a fake channel, you probably will see a lot of shallow comments and/or nothing is added to the conversation. Idk you have to pick and choose your battles.
You’re not like the people she’s describing. In the words of Park Ji-min, “It’s ok. Don’t worry.”
Twitter ARMYs are not scary tbh like its the definitely the worst platform bc you can see some of the worst takes and just horrible fanwars there, but we really do carry the core fandom. We try hard to integrate in other platforms too bc like boracity said, a lot of casual armys just dont really know a lot of the charity, voting, and streaming we do. It's a fun space if curated well enough.
You're one of the genuine BTS reactors, that's why I subscribed you. I do like to watch BTS reaction but I, as I'm proud to say this, am a tough audience but also a silent and barely commenting. I know all the reactors she mentioned in the video, but I only subscribe to 3 of them. I maybe like to see the other reactors over and over again but I don't subscribe to them right away bc I know some of them only do it for the money or anything but BTS. And I still keep watching them, maybe for entertaining or to see if they're improving to be genuine, if they're not then I simply left not finish watching it.
I'm not gonna lie, I was a bit skeptical about you at the beginning and now I see you as one of the genuine one. As for Ameere channel, I did watched his videos, but after I know his true self by the problems with ARMYs, I stopped watching him right away. I'm so disappointed that some ARMYs still support him by saying 'he deserved a second chance' or 'everybody can changed' bullshit. I mean, look at the problem he caused and the way he solved it. Maybe someday he changed but still, he's a big no no to me.
So, I'm glad to subscribe to your channel, and you're nice keep going ;)
Its impossible to like everything. Im a hardcore army and there are songs I don't vibe with and that's fine cause BTS has so many different types of songs. There is something for everyone here
And that was exactly what I commented a few weeks ago on one of your Videos
: There are certain Videos I Like to watch (the Long Guide being one of them) to see what type of reaction the Person does and how they comment on the content, Just to see If I personally think they are genuine and worth watching a music reaction from, because if I want a simple: "haha nice song" comment to Songs I actually personally really connect to and artists I really like you could Just randomly choose any video reaction. But real dialoge and a new/diffrent perspective with a reactor you actually think is funny or Like their other content from isnt that easy to find
TaeTae's Kookies 😂😂😂 sweet Jeezus
*TaeTa's Kookies
I have a top 10 of reaction channels I actively follow and you're in it because of your honesty. Your reactions are authentic and not exaggerated and I can genuinely learn from your comments some times. When I was a baby ARMY I watched countless reaction videos no matter by whom. However, as time went on, I became very picky when following and subscribing to reaction channels. It's fine if channels react to many/every kpop group, I mean, you do you, but I personally do not believe you deadass like EVERY song by EVERY group. I just don't buy it. I don't think Boracity considers you one of the bad ones so don't worry. You are one of the few authentic reaction channels we have here on RUclips. Keep it up!
Just realized that we're back to original usernames, and not the other name we put on our account. But I liked being Bangtan Humanist... 😞
Yeah that pissed me off too… I was agustdeeznutz… so I changed my tag lmao
I really enjoy your BTS vids. You're very knowledgeable (about a whole ton of stuff😁) and genuine💜
A lot of people in the comment have said what needed to be said, so I’m just here to tell you some pics of J Hope for Elle Thailand just dropped and the fashion is something else 🔥
Boracity is 🔥 She is not scared at all.😂 btw I hate dramatic ass reactors. My favorite RUclips channels are DJ Jino's channel and your channel. I watch your videos because you openly say it if you don't like the song or certain part. And the most important thing is you know about the music. Dj jino is also like you he openly talk about the songs also he know about music. The difference is he is a Korean American and you are an African American. I hate when people screaming and running around the room, crying and saying it's so good guys I'm crying wow blah blah blah.. It's my personal opinion I don't like it. I feel so fake. So I don't watch them. I like your videos because you genuinely talk about the song. Btw Thanks for the reaction. I'm waiting to watch your videos every day. So it's okay to upload a lot of videos. We like it. 😅💜
thanks for ur reaction!
I'm also the same if I see a RUclipsr who just watched the BTS video before a month I don't subscribe because I don't know whether he really likes it or not..
💜💜
18:20 EXACTLY
I really enjoy your reactions. I only watch a few reactors bc some ppl be so mf fake
Clout is a disease. BoraCity has been an ARMY for ages. ARMYs are hella nice but they also detect any BS there is. They’re not fools.
