I have been informed that the sound is a little quieter than desired in this video and the other one just posted. that will be fixed for the next one and will no longer be a problem moving forward.
BTS from debut were from a very small company that almost went bankrupt so they had to make do with what they have. Jungkook aka JK also known as “Golden Maknae” meaning yiungest but can do it all. BTS went through a lot in their early years but was able to have fans through their talent, singing about real life struggles & choreo. The label believed in their pure talent even though they were cut from a lot of tv appearances! You’ll learn more as you go. It’s just exciting to see a new fan lessening about them. They were supposed to be a “hip hop group”. They have solo working the group before repressing solo work. You catch on to some of it but the more you dig the more you fall 😊😊 it’s too soon but you have to see their live performances!!
Hi! I am enjoying your reactions. You certainly are picking up on fantastic details for the first listen! I am an Eastern North Carolina choral director, so I LOVE your t-shirt!!
Trust us we all still waiting for rapper JK. He has stood in for RM amd Suga when they have been absent from performances and there is also a rapline song called DDAENG. Its a live performance but they also did it with the vocal line too and JK raps RMs verse. Iconic. He does live streams from his home and takes song requests for karaoke. He has done some rap in them as well.

No More Dream is their debut track (along with We Are Bulletproof Pt.2). RM used to wear a lot of sunglasses or visors or whatever to hide his eyes because he was constantly criticized for his looks and the public called him ugly.
That is Jimin he's a martial arts expert in more than one style it was Jimin in the previous video who did the mid air flip over J. Hope who was laying on the floor.
BTS b-sides are not to be missed. From the same album as N.O there’s a song I’m absolutely certain you will enjoy - it’s called “We On” a combination of smooth hip hop raps and R&B choruses. Apart from sounding great I love the message; “whatever you say I’m here for my music” It doesn’t have a music video but a good source for BTS live performances is Enjoy BTS More. This RUclips channel adds quality English subtitles and edits using multiple stage mixes (which helps guard against copyright infringements I believe)
No More dreams was their debut song and yes, they had no budget. At that time the company was bankrupt and they practically made bighit an empire since today it is one of the largest
No More Dream is their debut song. Very first one. BTW RM's hair and styling is AAwesomme!! anyone who says otherwise can fight me And yes, BTS themselves say it was cringy back then and they are wrong! Lots of us loved it.
You want high energy then you have to watch 'Fire' Live performances especially the one at award show where their swag is also at another level. They are always on another level when on stage live.
"We Are Bulletproof pt1" was a pre-debut song that you can find on RUclips. (I think you can hear part of it at the start of the "No More Dream" MV. Not to beconfused with "No More Dream The Eternal" which is a later song)
Before he became a trainee RM was an undergroud rapper and he had dreds or locs in a Mohawk style they just chopped them off i guess and gave him a box but in a mohawk. Im guess cause he hair was still matted they didnt know what to do with his hair until they can straighten it out
No more dreams their debut song. The 3 youngest were still in school at debut. As for NO S Korea had the highest teenage suicide rate. That influenced alot of BTS earliest songs.
JK was 15-16 and had never rapped before becoming a trainee. His solo songs have some song/rap type parts. I hope he raps on the future. There is a concert where the whole vocal line raps to “Ddaeng”. They can all rap. V has a cool style when he raps.
Debut BTS is my fave era. I love the angrier energy they had back then with the grungier beats. Fire dance practice is a MUST watch. Still really loving your reactions sweety. In the words of Jimin - You nice keep going! :)
So NO MORE DREAM was literally their debut song. They debuted as a HIP HOP IDOL group on June 13, 2013. The guys ages ran from age 15 (Jungkook - Main vocalist) to 20 (JIN - Vocalist) The sound on this music video is very low, just in case you didn't know. Also, the lyrics to this song show that they were socially conscious from the start, and they were writing about relevant issues that they were dealing with. I don't know if you had the subtitles on, but I don't think this song had subtitles on the original MV. I will leave you a subtitled version in the section below with the School Trilogy songs. That's another thing that ARMY does, add translated subtitles for other ARMY's and people to enjoy the song, and know the lyrics. The first thing I heard anything about the energy not being enough in this song, that's a different perspective. They have a list of dance practices you can check out. You should check out those. There are more songs, but you need to check out their live performances to get those. It's a lot, but I can link you the first ERA, School ERA. The ones you have seen I have marked with an X and highlighted. **School Trilogy ERA:** 💜2 Cool 4 Skool (June 12th, 2013) - Debut Album (Single) Genre: Hip Hop/K Pop Songs: Digital/CD - 6, CD Only - 2 = 8 total songs [ ] *Intro: 2 Cool 4 Skool (feat.

Hi: I'm going backwards in time to fill you in on some of your unanswered questions--hope you are able to revisit here. No More Dream: their very first video! Debuted with this on June 13th, 2013, along with Bulletproof Part 2 (part one was pre-debut). BTS was originally conceived as a hiphop group, and they recruited rappers and told them that they wouldn't have to dance. As time went on, Bang SiHyuk, the BigHit founder, realized that wasn't going to fly, so they re-oriented. Some of the rapper trainees left or switched over to music production, and they started recruiting vocalists in the summer of 2011. Jin, Jungkook, and V came in that fall, and Jimin in 2012. JK was 13 at audition, 14 when he entered training, and not yet 16 when they debuted (you'll see different ages listed in some videos because Koreans count you as one at birth, and another year older on the first of the year). I can't imagine the amount of product that RM had to layer into his Asian hair to get that mohawk (he attempted dreadlocks later--it wasn't pretty). As someone mentioned below, RM was roasted for a lot of stuff, including being considered ugly by Korean standards. Beauty standards for men: "small face, narrow and high-bridged nose, "doe" eyes, sharp jawline, full lips with a cupid's bow in the upper lip, double eye-lids" --basically, what JungKook and V look like now in their 20s as they grew out of their baby faces. RM has a lower-bridged, wider nose and "dragon eyes," which he was at pains to hide with the sunglasses. Of course, international ARMYs think he's gorgeous, and he seems to have eventually internalized that message because he stopped wearing the sunglasses and doing distracting things with his hair. Jimin has a lot of lower-register songs early on, but there's a preference for higher-pitched vocals in Kpop, so he moved up into counter-tenor territory later. He mentioned in his MiniMoni discussion with RM that he started taking singing lessons--going back to the basics to rebuild his voice since what he was doing was not going to be sustainable in the long run. People say that they can hear the difference in the new album "Muse"--that his voice is stronger. We are Bulletproof, part 2: Also part of their debut. JK dropped out of the rapline after a couple of years because he was so busy as the main vocalist--he was singing all their guide tracks, for example, and doing all the ad libs for many songs. Jimin does all the flips and acrobatics as a legacy of his martial arts training--not only was he a top contemporary dancer at the Busan High School for the Arts, but he studied Japanese sword for 8 years, has a black belt in Taekwondo, and dabbled in hapkido and some Chinese martial arts also. Don't be fooled by his soft image--the man can hand you your ass on a plate. NO: one of their many songs telling kids to follow their own dreams and not suppress those desires under parental pressure, especially academic pressure which is intense.. "in Seoul to the SKY" refers to the three prestigious universities in Seoul (Seoul National University, Korea University, and Yonsei University). The education system for high-aspiring students is a meat grinder, with kids going to cram schools and study halls after regular classes are done, not coming home until 10 at night. The teen suicide rate in South Korea is the highest in the world. BTS are trying to tell kids that it's okay to opt out of that (in Fire, that it's okay to be a "failure"). Fire: yes, they are listening to Dope at the beginning. Fire gets played a lot as music clips in cooking shows. Supposedly, an international ARMY visiting Seoul saw a fire in an alley, ran into a nearby restaurant and shouted the only Korean she knew "Bultaureune!" which successfully conveyed the message. Suga is forgiving you for not following the path to "success". Yes, the live performances are lit (pun intended). Oh, there is a ton more content......
N.O. is such an eye opening song after I watched an explanation video on it (highly recommended! Especially for ones that have music videos with meanings in them if you’re curious. There are many like N.O. that are saturated with South Korean cultural references, obviously they speak on their culture and society, and the songs are good on their own without learning the intricacies sure, but they’re much more meaningful when you learn the entire culture contexts!) A short explanation on some I can remember, but other ARMY feel free if I mess up : - “from Seoul to the SKY” ; SKY is an acronym for the top higher education institutions - the part where Suga stands on the other members and says something like “we’re standing on our friends” is correlated to how students in SK have the pressure to be first in school and compete against their friends, its a very competitive environment to get accepted to higher education. SK has a very high statistic of young suicide rates due to the intense pressure put on students from a very young age. There’s more, but the main point that is crazy is how they released this very vocal criticism on the issues of their society and the pressures being put on their generation, especially when you remember this was over a decade ago and it was a risky chance for the group to be so openly rebellious against the systems in their society in their first year.
BigHit still have that Bus and they had it on stage at the Busan Yet To Come concert along with a train carriage from another MV and the metal frame with all the metal swings on it that stage was rather wide.
'We are bulletproof' they are telling using their name BTS or BangTan Sonyeodan in English means Bulletproof Boy Scouts. So they'll use English eg bulletproof and the Korean Bangtan or just BTS.
Hip Hop Phile is a must! Do lyric video, then live performance. Song should have been featured in 50th Hip Hop Anniversary show to showcase influence of hip hop on the Greatest Group of all time... BTS!
Hi, i am back. Good reaction(No More Dream), ty. Great song. So catchy. This was their debut track (along with We Are Bulletproof Pt.2). JK rapping is chef's kiss. When I 1st heard this i was like oh i like this. This one is a hit. Remember BTS debuted as a hip hop group. Their debut songs were catchy and they were cute. The rapline had promise. Yes, JK is a sub rapper. If u love rap and have listened to it all ur life u can see this is cringe. But for us who are not rap fans we liked this. It was catchy and still is catchy. I listen to all their rap and i don't even like rap like that .Listen to Tony Montana by Suga ft. Jimin pls special gift to us a few yrs back. Jimin can rap. They all can. And it's been 11 years since debut. snorts. Back than they did as the agency suggested. They did not know what they were doing. But they worked hard. Going to America during American Hustle Life a reality TV deal they learned what real rap is. They grew from that experience a lot. They all trained for 2-3 years except Jimin. Jimin trained 6-8 months. Than they practice for a large stage for 3 months. 12-16 hrs daily. They run on treadmills while singing. They had passion. They had drive and yeah they were angry. But they worked so hard and true army noticed. They grew slow and steadily but they always had more ppl then they predicted show up to concerts and other stuff. They truly are a gem of a group. Hugs. -NY USA 2019 Army💟 Aishwarya Kabra said on 12/20/22 SUGA's "I wanna big house, big cars and big rings" is so iconic. He reused it so many times and each time with different meaning behind it. Morgan Graves said on 12/20/22 One of my favorite quotes was when the boys were watching their debut stage and Hobi said “You can see the passion in our eyes” & Tae in all seriousness replies “It’s the eyeliner” 😂. RM wore glasses because ppl did not like his eyes. We love his dragon eyes and we are glad he stopped letting others affect him so. Also, i think he had eye surgery. There is a live where he says he can see us better. Something like that. @eileencritchley4630 said on 11/14/23 It's a track about asking 'What is your dream rather than being pushed by parents, society forcing you to do?' It's a bit of a criticism of South Korean Culture of pushing kids so hard into moulds rather than finding out what it is that your child needs. They have the highest child suicide rate they over took Japan. It's so bad teachers are also committing suicide. who are being hounded by parents if their child isn't getting the marks (grades) they want them to get even when they are sending their children not just to school but to hours of 'Cram school'. @tracydowd4013 said on 2/10/24 No More Dream was literally the first thing they put out. It was their debut song, from their debut album. AND PLEASE finish the Introduction video BTS Debuted in 2013 as a Hip Hop Idol group. They were ages 15 (Jungkook) to 20 (JIN and SUGA) in this video. This is actually their debut album (2 Cool 4 Skool), title track (No More Dream). And 'We Are Bulletproof' was the second MV release. They performed both of these songs on their debut stage. BTS were originally supposed to be a purely rap group. But Bang PD saw that they wouldn't have a chance to make it with just rap. So he change it to a Hip Hop Idol group with dance and singing as well. They have some really great R&B tracks also. The best thing about their music is the way they mix genre's and stay true to who they are as a team. Bang PD signed RM in 2010 (he was 15/16), and he already had some years as a rapper, and he was in underground rap Since age 13, like SUGA. So Bang PD held auditions and scouted until 2012, when the group members were confirmed. But they were all trainees for a while. You need to finish the introduction video to get more information. So a total of 3 years training together. until debut on June 13, 2013. Also, Jungkook was the youngest when he joined at age 13. He was 15 when they debuted. These guys are brothers. They will even tell you that. When you start out from the bottom, sharing a one bedroom apartment, and working together to become a unit/team that flows as one, that will make you a family. They were a hip hop group, and they studied day and night. And all seven of them have their bachelors degrees and some have their master's degrees. Wrap your head around that for a minute. That's how hard they worked. You need the version of this song with lyrics. No More Dream - ruclips.net/video/btIzXwxDWOY/видео.html @ire5995 said on 5/19/24 "No more dreams" is aimed at teenagers struggling with the rigidity of the South Korean school system and the lack of future prospects. Like many BTS's songs, has a motivational nature and invites them to follow their dreams, rather than fall victim to society's expectations, which are criticized and ridiculed with puns and sarcasm. It's great! @ashleyder9164 said on 7/29/24 Its so cute watching them try to be so badass in this MV, hehe...Jin especially makes me giggle because he is sooooo not this attitude. They cringe so, so hard watching their early music because of their style and makeup, lol. There is a clip of them reacting to their debut stage and JHope is like, "Look at the passion in our eyes," and V goes, "That's the eyeliner." Good reaction(We Are Bulletproof Pt.2), ty. Ok, i subbed. Pls pause to share ur thoughts. We want to hear u clearly, ty. They were known as Monster Rookies in the early years. =0] For album reactions in the future u need to break the vids apart. YT will not allow a full album review in one vid. N.O. i think was in the 3rd mini album. So catchy. Hardcore too. A hit for sure is what i thought on 1st listen. BTS debuted as a hip hop group. So their 1st album was hip hop and so were the title track and b-side. Love their dance break. They got attention for sure with the topics of their songs and their energy. Army grew slowly but consistently. If u watch Rise of Bangtan an army made docu series u will see their progression. It's cool. The hat trick is iconic. =0p I think Jimin came up with the hat trick if i am not mistaken. I think in 2016 was their 1ast music bank win for their song I Need You. This one started the BTS Universe(BU) storyline. After this they grew faster. They give us 2 albums per year and so much other content. After the 1st fan meet they kept getting more fans show up than they expected. =0} Hugs. Stay safe! #YouAreEnough --NY USA 2019 Army💟 @crystalsnow1138 said on 2/14/24 Ages during this music video Jin- 20 Suga- 20 J-Hope- 19 RM- 18 Jimin- 17 V- 17 Jungkook- 15
Yeah I always have lyrics on, but on two of them the lyrics weren't available, so for stuff like that I usually just go back and look at the lyrics, while listening to the song.
@@Tovinnthat's right. For their earlier MVs the youtube channel 1thek that posts kpop mv has the captions not the one on their channel because they were poor lol. There are also other kinds of entertainment videos (personality/variety etc) there are secondary fan uploads for early videos that have added caption s because until around 2019 every video did not get captioned with other language subtitles.
No More Dreamis their very first video, so 11 years ago. They were going to be a hip hop group, JK was 15, Jin 21. They did all right for first time! I would suggest you read lyrics a little more, even if you have to stop and doublecheck. There's some meat you might be missing while you're saying "nice hook" and they're telling you their thesis. Like, why does "II'll forgive matter"? Who is stumbling around in the street, and why is it okay to be a loser? The answers are in the lyrics.
Has he watched all the MVs associated with that yet,.all the easter eggs, if so then I agree but maybe he needs to see a documentary of the hardships they had to endure to get to where they are and how the song is so relevant to their journey.
@@kaz_72 he's just jumping around all over the place... But he's pretty I sightful listening to his reactions. I was trying to give him a comparison song with the whole group. My list is on the last video he did. Organically, and after he's heard more of their music maybe, then a docu . Or he'll have nothing to compare timelines with the different triologies, and eras. Like a lot of us did that weren't there from the beginning. We watched organically from the song that got our attention, to where we stand today. What you consume must be of your palate, not someone else's. My opinion though. 💜
Cont... Hi, I am back. Good reaction(N.O.), ty. I love this song! It's so bloody good! The MV is so cool too. =0) I hope u watch Daechwita! Love Suga's song. Hope you do the explanation video by DKDKTV as well. Fun fact: The line "Everybody say NOOooooo.." from the chorus of this song is widely used by ARMY to reject people trying to use BTS for clout. And N.O. means No Offense as per RM. RM wore a lot of shades in the early yrs because ppl did not like looking at his eyes. They are like dragon eyes and ppl were intimidated. But we love his eyes so eventually he stopped wearing sunglasses. stay safe-NY USA 2019 Army 💜 Cheyenne said on 12/2021 Just like a few people already mentioned but bts and their albums basically grew along with the members. As you know, the members were extremely young when they first debuted and most of them were still in school and kids. Their first three albums heavily focused on the school education system, childish innocent teenage love, and struggles that the youth have to go through because the boys have experienced that sort of thing themselves. They wanted to relate and protect the youth. Once you go through more of the albums you'll notice the older they get, the more mature the themes will get and so will the messages. Eva Stokes said on 10/20/22 Actually the first verse is the first verse of Suga's part in the first song "No More Dream" RM says 'What's your dream' then Suga says 'I want a big car, big house big rings' which he goes on to repeat in several songs. As the second song "N.O" was not only a comment on the Korean Educational System like others have commented but on something that RM has also spoken about that was he stopped dreaming when he was in middle school and lived a life for his parents dreams. This song speaks to that loss of dreams during youth. Their parents dream of going to university in Seoul (SKY = Seoul's very famous Universities best in the nation). Just an aside as the stairs are reused in an award ceremony performance so are the hands you see, they were used on a performance of "Fake Love" during an award ceremony. They are masters of using things over and over to remind you that this all flows together be it music, lyrics or even props. I think that is why so many are surprised that BTS spent so much time on sets as opposed to CGI. Sets they can use again and for a group that worked with little to no funds that was important early on. And yes ON is related to NO as it is a call to bring it on that they BTS will continue to buck the system and work hard for their dreams. It is a masterpiece of a song and one of the beginnings of the BTS Universe. Just so you know you have now officially gone down the BU path. Welcome and enjoy. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Hi, I am back. Good reaction(FIRE), ty. Love this song a lot. So bloody catchy. A hit for sure. A total banger. Hope u check out the behind the scenes and dance practice for this too. I love techno/EDM and they use a lot of it in their songs. RUN BTS is hip hop and a newer song. No MV but a great dance practice and live is available. Hope u give it a watch/ listen. stay safe. Hugs.-NY USA 2019 Army 💜 Kelsey Mattison said on 6.28.21 I always saw the message of "Fire" to be Your young, your allowed to party instead of study sometimes, you can make mistakes, you don't have to be the best at what you do - this is your time to discover who you are through trial and error And even if no one else will "I forgive you." Soukie said on 2/5/22 Honestly I can't speak for what Suga really wanted the "I'll forgive you" to mean, but since you asked for our interpretation of it I'll share mine ^^ For me the song is about how society makes "rules" and "molds" that make us miserable if we don't follow them. It makes us feel inferior if we can't achieve those standard and question our value when we look at others who actually fit. Hence my interpretation of "burn it up" and "fire": it's like they're encouraging the listeners to just burn that checklist that we use to compare ourselves with to others or determine our value in society. It's almost revolutionary lyrics asking people to rebel against the preconceived ideas of our society and put our happiness first. But if you destroy something usually you get blamed for it. So for me "I'll forgive you" is another part of the encouragement they're giving as though they're saying "Just go for it, do whatever you want to do to be happy, even if others blame you for going against the system or being a rebel, we're on your side, we'll forgive you in their stead." O!RUOT7,2? said on 12/22/22 Fun story from Armys. There was an Army who visited Korea and saw trash burning outside a restaurant. Said Army does not speak Korean at all, but because of this song knew that the Korean word for Fire is: bultaoreune. So to get the attention of the restaurant workers, she kept on pointing and saying Bultaoreune until the restaurant owner saw and put out the fire. 😊 S said on 12/22/22 There was another story where an int'l army was in a Korean restaurant and the food was not heated so she called waiter and asked him to heat the food again but the waiter couldn't understand so she literally sang bultaoreune and then that's when the waiter understood.

Jimin in the centre is iconic! fransi kaye said on 12/22/22 Suga opens with burning the haters (guy in black hoodie) and ends with I forgive you. Yeah.
Watch Hip Hop Lover. I have been enjoying your little dip into the ocean that is BTS music. You asked if there is more, there is so much more, and you haven't even touched the rappers yet, that is why I am suggesting Hip Hop Lover as a start.
@Mrs.L.44 Hello! The only place west of NC I've been to visit was Maggie Valley, the Cherokee Mts and Boone...and no,I'm not a biker😅. Lived mostly on the coast,but grew up in WV around the Pittsburgh triangle area (very tip top pt.of WV)...Nice to meet you💜🫡

We don't talk about RM's debut hair😅. BTS themselves said how did they still managed to get fans back then😅.
Fire dance practice is a must!
I have been informed that the sound is a little quieter than desired in this video and the other one just posted. that will be fixed for the next one and will no longer be a problem moving forward.
Yes, tq😅. I'm struggling here as I already turn the volume to the max. Forgive these old ears of mine 😂.
oh good because my volume is 50 and i can barely hear u. gosh. I'll have to raise my vol. to 100 i guess. ouch.
" No More Dream" was their debut song so you've started from the very beginning. Which is a very good place to start.
BTS from debut were from a very small company that almost went bankrupt so they had to make do with what they have. Jungkook aka JK also known as “Golden Maknae” meaning yiungest but can do it all. BTS went through a lot in their early years but was able to have fans through their talent, singing about real life struggles & choreo. The label believed in their pure talent even though they were cut from a lot of tv appearances! You’ll learn more as you go. It’s just exciting to see a new fan lessening about them. They were supposed to be a “hip hop group”. They have solo working the group before repressing solo work. You catch on to some of it but the more you dig the more you fall 😊😊 it’s too soon but you have to see their live performances!!
Hi! I am enjoying your reactions. You certainly are picking up on fantastic details for the first listen! I am an Eastern North Carolina choral director, so I LOVE your t-shirt!!
Trust us we all still waiting for rapper JK. He has stood in for RM amd Suga when they have been absent from performances and there is also a rapline song called DDAENG. Its a live performance but they also did it with the vocal line too and JK raps RMs verse. Iconic.
He does live streams from his home and takes song requests for karaoke. He has done some rap in them as well.

No More Dream is their debut track (along with We Are Bulletproof Pt.2). RM used to wear a lot of sunglasses or visors or whatever to hide his eyes because he was constantly criticized for his looks and the public called him ugly.
It was the concept
@@andredayyy613 "concept" or not what I said about RM is true
So true. It amazes me how they could say that about him. Joonie is my bias and he's beautiful inside and out.
Never understood that. He was always really handsome
@@diddiefree Yeah, Korean beauty standard just values different facial features more.
I absolutely love Jimin’s lower register and growls! Between that and his ultra high angelic notes, the man has me on lock 😅❤
That is Jimin he's a martial arts expert in more than one style it was Jimin in the previous video who did the mid air flip over J. Hope who was laying on the floor.
That's Jimin with the flips again. LIke always. The guys an all-rounder fs
BTS b-sides are not to be missed. From the same album as N.O there’s a song I’m absolutely certain you will enjoy - it’s called “We On” a combination of smooth hip hop raps and R&B choruses. Apart from sounding great I love the message; “whatever you say I’m here for my music” It doesn’t have a music video but a good source for BTS live performances is Enjoy BTS More. This RUclips channel adds quality English subtitles and edits using multiple stage mixes (which helps guard against copyright infringements I believe)
No More dreams was their debut song and yes, they had no budget. At that time the company was bankrupt and they practically made bighit an empire since today it is one of the largest
No More Dream is their debut song. Very first one. BTW RM's hair and styling is AAwesomme!! anyone who says otherwise can fight me And yes, BTS themselves say it was cringy back then and they are wrong! Lots of us loved it.
You want high energy then you have to watch 'Fire' Live performances especially the one at award show where their swag is also at another level. They are always on another level when on stage live.
"We Are Bulletproof pt1" was a pre-debut song that you can find on RUclips. (I think you can hear part of it at the start of the "No More Dream" MV. Not to beconfused with "No More Dream The Eternal" which is a later song)
That's BULLETPROOF: THE ETERNAL
Before he became a trainee RM was an undergroud rapper and he had dreds or locs in a Mohawk style they just chopped them off i guess and gave him a box but in a mohawk. Im guess cause he hair was still matted they didnt know what to do with his hair until they can straighten it out
Debut song. Jimin has a good range too.
Jk rapping ❤..All round vocals. Reason he's the main vocalist..
This song was from 2013, they started as a Hip Hop group.
No more dreams their debut song. The 3 youngest were still in school at debut. As for NO S Korea had the highest teenage suicide rate. That influenced alot of BTS earliest songs.
JK was 15-16 and had never rapped before becoming a trainee. His solo songs have some song/rap type parts. I hope he raps on the future. There is a concert where the whole vocal line raps to “Ddaeng”. They can all rap. V has a cool style when he raps.
Yeah, Fire in concert is wild. 🎉
Debut BTS is my fave era. I love the angrier energy they had back then with the grungier beats. Fire dance practice is a MUST watch. Still really loving your reactions sweety. In the words of Jimin - You nice keep going! :)
So NO MORE DREAM was literally their debut song. They debuted as a HIP HOP IDOL group on June 13, 2013. The guys ages ran from age 15 (Jungkook - Main vocalist) to 20 (JIN - Vocalist)
The sound on this music video is very low, just in case you didn't know. Also, the lyrics to this song show that they were socially conscious from the start, and they were writing about relevant issues that they were dealing with. I don't know if you had the subtitles on, but I don't think this song had subtitles on the original MV. I will leave you a subtitled version in the section below with the School Trilogy songs. That's another thing that ARMY does, add translated subtitles for other ARMY's and people to enjoy the song, and know the lyrics.
The first thing I heard anything about the energy not being enough in this song, that's a different perspective. They have a list of dance practices you can check out. You should check out those. There are more songs, but you need to check out their live performances to get those. It's a lot, but I can link you the first ERA, School ERA. The ones you have seen I have marked with an X and highlighted.

❤😊😜😘GOTTA! TURN! IT! UP!!!!!!
Hi: I'm going backwards in time to fill you in on some of your unanswered questions--hope you are able to revisit here.
No More Dream: their very first video! Debuted with this on June 13th, 2013, along with Bulletproof Part 2 (part one was pre-debut). BTS was originally conceived as a hiphop group, and they recruited rappers and told them that they wouldn't have to dance. As time went on, Bang SiHyuk, the BigHit founder, realized that wasn't going to fly, so they re-oriented. Some of the rapper trainees left or switched over to music production, and they started recruiting vocalists in the summer of 2011. Jin, Jungkook, and V came in that fall, and Jimin in 2012. JK was 13 at audition, 14 when he entered training, and not yet 16 when they debuted (you'll see different ages listed in some videos because Koreans count you as one at birth, and another year older on the first of the year).
I can't imagine the amount of product that RM had to layer into his Asian hair to get that mohawk (he attempted dreadlocks later--it wasn't pretty). As someone mentioned below, RM was roasted for a lot of stuff, including being considered ugly by Korean standards. Beauty standards for men: "small face, narrow and high-bridged nose, "doe" eyes, sharp jawline, full lips with a cupid's bow in the upper lip, double eye-lids" --basically, what JungKook and V look like now in their 20s as they grew out of their baby faces. RM has a lower-bridged, wider nose and "dragon eyes," which he was at pains to hide with the sunglasses. Of course, international ARMYs think he's gorgeous, and he seems to have eventually internalized that message because he stopped wearing the sunglasses and doing distracting things with his hair.
Jimin has a lot of lower-register songs early on, but there's a preference for higher-pitched vocals in Kpop, so he moved up into counter-tenor territory later. He mentioned in his MiniMoni discussion with RM that he started taking singing lessons--going back to the basics to rebuild his voice since what he was doing was not going to be sustainable in the long run. People say that they can hear the difference in the new album "Muse"--that his voice is stronger.
We are Bulletproof, part 2: Also part of their debut. JK dropped out of the rapline after a couple of years because he was so busy as the main vocalist--he was singing all their guide tracks, for example, and doing all the ad libs for many songs.
Jimin does all the flips and acrobatics as a legacy of his martial arts training--not only was he a top contemporary dancer at the Busan High School for the Arts, but he studied Japanese sword for 8 years, has a black belt in Taekwondo, and dabbled in hapkido and some Chinese martial arts also. Don't be fooled by his soft image--the man can hand you your ass on a plate.
NO: one of their many songs telling kids to follow their own dreams and not suppress those desires under parental pressure, especially academic pressure which is intense.. "in Seoul to the SKY" refers to the three prestigious universities in Seoul (Seoul National University, Korea University, and Yonsei University). The education system for high-aspiring students is a meat grinder, with kids going to cram schools and study halls after regular classes are done, not coming home until 10 at night. The teen suicide rate in South Korea is the highest in the world. BTS are trying to tell kids that it's okay to opt out of that (in Fire, that it's okay to be a "failure").
Fire: yes, they are listening to Dope at the beginning. Fire gets played a lot as music clips in cooking shows. Supposedly, an international ARMY visiting Seoul saw a fire in an alley, ran into a nearby restaurant and shouted the only Korean she knew "Bultaureune!" which successfully conveyed the message. Suga is forgiving you for not following the path to "success". Yes, the live performances are lit (pun intended).
Oh, there is a ton more content......
N.O. is such an eye opening song after I watched an explanation video on it (highly recommended! Especially for ones that have music videos with meanings in them if you’re curious. There are many like N.O. that are saturated with South Korean cultural references, obviously they speak on their culture and society, and the songs are good on their own without learning the intricacies sure, but they’re much more meaningful when you learn the entire culture contexts!) A short explanation on some I can remember, but other ARMY feel free if I mess up :
- “from Seoul to the SKY” ; SKY is an acronym for the top higher education institutions
- the part where Suga stands on the other members and says something like “we’re standing on our friends” is correlated to how students in SK have the pressure to be first in school and compete against their friends, its a very competitive environment to get accepted to higher education. SK has a very high statistic of young suicide rates due to the intense pressure put on students from a very young age.
There’s more, but the main point that is crazy is how they released this very vocal criticism on the issues of their society and the pressures being put on their generation, especially when you remember this was over a decade ago and it was a risky chance for the group to be so openly rebellious against the systems in their society in their first year.
17:38 lol whenever you see flips it’s jimin 😂
BigHit still have that Bus and they had it on stage at the Busan Yet To Come concert along with a train carriage from another MV and the metal frame with all the metal swings on it that stage was rather wide.
Jimin can alter his voice like that.
Yeah that was Jimin's voice lol
'We are bulletproof' they are telling using their name BTS or BangTan Sonyeodan in English means Bulletproof Boy Scouts.
So they'll use English eg bulletproof and the Korean Bangtan or just BTS.
Hip Hop Phile is a must! Do lyric video, then live performance. Song should have been featured in 50th Hip Hop Anniversary show to showcase influence of hip hop on the Greatest Group of all time... BTS!
❤
Usually V growls
Hi, i am back. Good reaction(No More Dream), ty. Great song. So catchy. This was their debut track (along with We Are Bulletproof Pt.2). JK rapping is chef's kiss. When I 1st heard this i was like oh i like this. This one is a hit. Remember BTS debuted as a hip hop group. Their debut songs were catchy and they were cute. The rapline had promise. Yes, JK is a sub rapper. If u love rap and have listened to it all ur life u can see this is cringe. But for us who are not rap fans we liked this. It was catchy and still is catchy. I listen to all their rap and i don't even like rap like that .Listen to Tony Montana by Suga ft. Jimin pls special gift to us a few yrs back. Jimin can rap. They all can. And it's been 11 years since debut. snorts. Back than they did as the agency suggested. They did not know what they were doing. But they worked hard. Going to America during American Hustle Life a reality TV deal they learned what real rap is. They grew from that experience a lot. They all trained for 2-3 years except Jimin. Jimin trained 6-8 months. Than they practice for a large stage for 3 months. 12-16 hrs daily. They run on treadmills while singing. They had passion. They had drive and yeah they were angry. But they worked so hard and true army noticed. They grew slow and steadily but they always had more ppl then they predicted show up to concerts and other stuff. They truly are a gem of a group. Hugs. -NY USA 2019 Army💟

SUGA's "I wanna big house, big cars and big rings" is so iconic. He reused it so many times and each time with different meaning behind it.
Morgan Graves said on 12/20/22
One of my favorite quotes was when the boys were watching their debut stage and Hobi said “You can see the passion in our eyes” & Tae in all seriousness replies “It’s the eyeliner” 😂.
RM wore glasses because ppl did not like his eyes. We love his dragon eyes and we are glad he stopped letting others affect him so. Also, i think he had eye surgery. There is a live where he says he can see us better. Something like that.
@eileencritchley4630 said on 11/14/23
It's a track about asking 'What is your dream rather than being pushed by parents, society forcing you to do?' It's a bit of a criticism of South Korean Culture of pushing kids so hard into moulds rather than finding out what it is that your child needs. They have the highest child suicide rate they over took Japan. It's so bad teachers are also committing suicide. who are being hounded by parents if their child isn't getting the marks (grades) they want them to get even when they are sending their children not just to school but to hours of 'Cram school'.
@tracydowd4013 said on 2/10/24
No More Dream was literally the first thing they put out. It was their debut song, from their debut album. AND PLEASE finish the Introduction video
BTS Debuted in 2013 as a Hip Hop Idol group. They were ages 15 (Jungkook) to 20 (JIN and SUGA) in this video. This is actually their debut album (2 Cool 4 Skool), title track (No More Dream). And 'We Are Bulletproof' was the second MV release. They performed both of these songs on their debut stage. BTS were originally supposed to be a purely rap group. But Bang PD saw that they wouldn't have a chance to make it with just rap. So he change it to a Hip Hop Idol group with dance and singing as well. They have some really great R&B tracks also. The best thing about their music is the way they mix genre's and stay true to who they are as a team.
Bang PD signed RM in 2010 (he was 15/16), and he already had some years as a rapper, and he was in underground rap Since age 13, like SUGA. So Bang PD held auditions and scouted until 2012, when the group members were confirmed. But they were all trainees for a while. You need to finish the introduction video to get more information. So a total of 3 years training together. until debut on June 13, 2013. Also, Jungkook was the youngest when he joined at age 13. He was 15 when they debuted. These guys are brothers. They will even tell you that.
When you start out from the bottom, sharing a one bedroom apartment, and working together to become a unit/team that flows as one, that will make you a family. They were a hip hop group, and they studied day and night. And all seven of them have their bachelors degrees and some have their master's degrees. Wrap your head around that for a minute. That's how hard they worked.
You need the version of this song with lyrics.

@ire5995 said on 5/19/24
"No more dreams" is aimed at teenagers struggling with the rigidity of the South Korean school system and the lack of future prospects. Like many BTS's songs, has a motivational nature and invites them to follow their dreams, rather than fall victim to society's expectations, which are criticized and ridiculed with puns and sarcasm. It's great!
@ashleyder9164 said on 7/29/24
Its so cute watching them try to be so badass in this MV, hehe...Jin especially makes me giggle because he is sooooo not this attitude.
They cringe so, so hard watching their early music because of their style and makeup, lol. There is a clip of them reacting to their debut stage and JHope is like, "Look at the passion in our eyes," and V goes, "That's the eyeliner."
Good reaction(We Are Bulletproof Pt.2), ty. Ok, i subbed. Pls pause to share ur thoughts. We want to hear u clearly, ty. They were known as Monster Rookies in the early years. =0] For album reactions in the future u need to break the vids apart. YT will not allow a full album review in one vid. N.O. i think was in the 3rd mini album. So catchy. Hardcore too. A hit for sure is what i thought on 1st listen. BTS debuted as a hip hop group. So their 1st album was hip hop and so were the title track and b-side. Love their dance break. They got attention for sure with the topics of their songs and their energy. Army grew slowly but consistently. If u watch Rise of Bangtan an army made docu series u will see their progression. It's cool. The hat trick is iconic. =0p I think Jimin came up with the hat trick if i am not mistaken. I think in 2016 was their 1ast music bank win for their song I Need You. This one started the BTS Universe(BU) storyline. After this they grew faster. They give us 2 albums per year and so much other content. After the 1st fan meet they kept getting more fans show up than they expected. =0} Hugs. Stay safe! #YouAreEnough --NY USA 2019 Army💟

Make sure you have the lyrics on my dude they say some real shit in songs like the rap line ugh and ddange
Yeah I always have lyrics on, but on two of them the lyrics weren't available, so for stuff like that I usually just go back and look at the lyrics, while listening to the song.
@@Tovinnthat's right. For their earlier MVs the youtube channel 1thek that posts kpop mv has the captions not the one on their channel because they were poor lol. There are also other kinds of entertainment videos (personality/variety etc) there are secondary fan uploads for early videos that have added caption s because until around 2019 every video did not get captioned with other language subtitles.
No More Dreamis their very first video, so 11 years ago. They were going to be a hip hop group, JK was 15, Jin 21. They did all right for first time! I would suggest you read lyrics a little more, even if you have to stop and doublecheck. There's some meat you might be missing while you're saying "nice hook" and they're telling you their thesis. Like, why does "II'll forgive matter"? Who is stumbling around in the street, and why is it okay to be a loser? The answers are in the lyrics.
"We Are Bulletproof: The Eternals "...a must, some day when you have time😊💜🫡
Has he watched all the MVs associated with that yet,.all the easter eggs, if so then I agree but maybe he needs to see a documentary of the hardships they had to endure to get to where they are and how the song is so relevant to their journey.
@@kaz_72 he's just jumping around all over the place... But he's pretty I sightful listening to his reactions. I was trying to give him a comparison song with the whole group. My list is on the last video he did. Organically, and after he's heard more of their music maybe, then a docu . Or he'll have nothing to compare timelines with the different triologies, and eras. Like a lot of us did that weren't there from the beginning. We watched organically from the song that got our attention, to where we stand today. What you consume must be of your palate, not someone else's. My opinion though. 💜
Oh my gosh, I forgot (mostly on purpose) about the hair. I feel like Jimin watching this, I'm gonna hide under the furniture 😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😊

Hi, I am back. Good reaction(N.O.), ty. I love this song! It's so bloody good! The MV is so cool too. =0) I hope u watch Daechwita! Love Suga's song. Hope you do the explanation video by DKDKTV as well. Fun fact: The line "Everybody say NOOooooo.." from the chorus of this song is widely used by ARMY to reject people trying to use BTS for clout. And N.O. means No Offense as per RM. RM wore a lot of shades in the early yrs because ppl did not like looking at his eyes. They are like dragon eyes and ppl were intimidated. But we love his eyes so eventually he stopped wearing sunglasses. stay safe-NY USA 2019 Army 💜
Cheyenne said on 12/2021
Just like a few people already mentioned but bts and their albums basically grew along with the members. As you know, the members were extremely young when they first debuted and most of them were still in school and kids. Their first three albums heavily focused on the school education system, childish innocent teenage love, and struggles that the youth have to go through because the boys have experienced that sort of thing themselves. They wanted to relate and protect the youth. Once you go through more of the albums you'll notice the older they get, the more mature the themes will get and so will the messages.
Eva Stokes said on 10/20/22
Actually the first verse is the first verse of Suga's part in the first song "No More Dream" RM says 'What's your dream' then Suga says 'I want a big car, big house big rings' which he goes on to repeat in several songs. As the second song "N.O" was not only a comment on the Korean Educational System like others have commented but on something that RM has also spoken about that was he stopped dreaming when he was in middle school and lived a life for his parents dreams. This song speaks to that loss of dreams during youth. Their parents dream of going to university in Seoul (SKY = Seoul's very famous Universities best in the nation). Just an aside as the stairs are reused in an award ceremony performance so are the hands you see, they were used on a performance of "Fake Love" during an award ceremony. They are masters of using things over and over to remind you that this all flows together be it music, lyrics or even props. I think that is why so many are surprised that BTS spent so much time on sets as opposed to CGI. Sets they can use again and for a group that worked with little to no funds that was important early on.
And yes ON is related to NO as it is a call to bring it on that they BTS will continue to buck the system and work hard for their dreams. It is a masterpiece of a song and one of the beginnings of the BTS Universe. Just so you know you have now officially gone down the BU path. Welcome and enjoy. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I always saw the message of "Fire" to be
Your young, your allowed to party instead of study sometimes, you can make mistakes, you don't have to be the best at what you do - this is your time to discover who you are through trial and error
And even if no one else will "I forgive you."

Honestly I can't speak for what Suga really wanted the "I'll forgive you" to mean, but since you asked for our interpretation of it I'll share mine ^^
For me the song is about how society makes "rules" and "molds" that make us miserable if we don't follow them. It makes us feel inferior if we can't achieve those standard and question our value when we look at others who actually fit. Hence my interpretation of "burn it up" and "fire": it's like they're encouraging the listeners to just burn that checklist that we use to compare ourselves with to others or determine our value in society. It's almost revolutionary lyrics asking people to rebel against the preconceived ideas of our society and put our happiness first.
But if you destroy something usually you get blamed for it. So for me "I'll forgive you" is another part of the encouragement they're giving as though they're saying "Just go for it, do whatever you want to do to be happy, even if others blame you for going against the system or being a rebel, we're on your side, we'll forgive you in their stead."

Fun story from Armys. There was an Army who visited Korea and saw trash burning outside a restaurant. Said Army does not speak Korean at all, but because of this song knew that the Korean word for Fire is: bultaoreune. So to get the attention of the restaurant workers, she kept on pointing and saying Bultaoreune until the restaurant owner saw and put out the fire. 😊

There was another story where an int'l army was in a Korean restaurant and the food was not heated so she called waiter and asked him to heat the food again but the waiter couldn't understand so she literally sang bultaoreune and then that's when the waiter understood.
Bultaoreune saving lives here😂

The amazing footwork part has a nickname: the 333 dance (appeared at 3 mins 33 secs in the mv). Jimin in the centre is iconic!

Suga opens with burning the haters (guy in black hoodie) and ends with I forgive you. Yeah.
Watch Hip Hop Lover. I have been enjoying your little dip into the ocean that is BTS music. You asked if there is more, there is so much more, and you haven't even touched the rappers yet, that is why I am suggesting Hip Hop Lover as a start.
Jung Kook can do everything…and well.
