It wasn't just the leadership role that was so heavy on RM's shoulders, he was also writing a good chunk of their songs (mostly with Suga). I love their relationship too. They weren't on vacation in Malaysia, they were shooting for the summer package they released that year, but yes they got some fun time too. American Hustle Life definitely wasn't a vacation. They were being mentored all day, doing challenges, preparing for their first small concert in the US and recording their "Dark and Wild" album at night. There is no chance they slept much at all and it showed on their faces. Despite it starting out so cringe-y, that show definitely helped shape them as artists. Their music and performance is amazing, but you are right, is it getting to know them as people is what makes us into such loyal fans. I enjoy re-watching things with reactors because it does feel like enjoying the content with friends. Thanks for another great reaction.
As the leader he is not only the voice to the public but Namjoon is the middleman in between the company and the group. He is one of the main lyricist. What we know of BTS is primary RMs philosophy.u can see it in him in the begining. He just wanted to make people smile with his music. That is why JK loves him
In Malaysia they had 3 day shooting period, when they did summer package, bangtan bomb behind the scenes and the photo shoot for HYYYH pt.2 but they had total of 4 day vacation for themselves as present from the company for winning number 1 with I need you. This was their first actual vacation as a group since they all spend the first "time off" from schedule with their familys. So yeah, youre basically right with youre comment but initially the whole point of this trip was to reward the member and all their hard work.
They got accused of Sajaegi. If BTS were with a BIG 3 company, No one would have thought a thing about their win. If they were from a big 3 company, no one would bat an eye. A group from the big 3 was suppose to win. That's the way it was suppose to be. BTS knocked off a group that was suppose to win. Companies had poured a lot of money into these Big 3 companies and these acts, only to have a GROUP, from a company on verge of bankruptcy win! Also; The media controlled by the BIG 3 were brutal to BTS too! They had to go to court to prove the accusations were false.
They knew the company was on bankruptcy and was probably hoping to finish Big Hit off with legal fees whilst destroying Bts and the company's reputation in the process.
I remember this. Company was broke. Based on what I heard Bang PD closed his eyes and took a massive loan. He took one when N.O. didn't get enough public recognition I think and that prevented Bts from disbanding. He took another much much larger one around this time from what I was hearing. He basically took the biggest risk of his financial life. That man's faith in Bangtan...thank God it paid off.
yes . the amount of belief he had and has on BTS it's strange and it shows how much farther he can see . like who does that . this amount of trust over some teenagers ? it's true if 1 member of BTS was not in group or if they were not in BigHit they could never get this position
For me it was like a really fast movie where I was already attached/invested in the characters and it was a rollercoaster of emotions! I remember my stomach tightening in the lead up to THAT scene and then my heart dropped and I cried when Taehyung realized what he had done..it was so many emotions in one go with the flashbacks to what life used to be when they were all together. Gives me chills and makes my stomach tighten every time. I still occasionally get emotional. They’re such great actors!
50:43 i wouldn't really count that as a "vacation" for the boys because they were sent to kinabolu for a photoshoot. They played games and were mostly dressed up in different outfits because they were doing pictorials. Overall it was still work but the boys had fun and enjoyed it as you can clearly see! They definitely needed it. Bon voyage is the perfect type of reality show from bts if you wanna watch them have an amazing vacation time with each other. There is a total of 4 seasons! The staff pick a location for the boys based on their preferences, travel as a group, and allow them to freely travel on their own and it's very entertaining. Scenes like the one you seen in this episode came from their summer package. Bts has a total of 5 summer packages dating back from 2015 and two winter packages. The summer package features the members participating in photoshoots around diverse locations for their photobook and a dvd with the behind the scenes of the photoshoots as they play games, write journals, and do fun activities. Season's greetings is another dvd and is an annual package consisting of year planners, calendars, photobooks, and a behind the scenes dvd of how their shooting went. Usually these take place in south korea while the summer packages take place around the world. Bts were thinking of disbanding in 2018, not during this era. The boys were heavily struggling around 2016 due to hate but it was never confirmed that there were ever disbandment talks during this time. Only 2018 was the confirmed time. It was quite a shocker for army. I will never forget that award speech. The hyyh era is honestly my favourite era of music from bts. The album you're getting into is by far the best in my opinion. If you love R&B, nostalgic tunes, heartfelt lyrics then you'll be in for a treat. Jhope really shines during his verses and man, i can talk for days about this album. Young forever is just gold.
I did a bit of research (pardon my English 😅). I knew Kpop since 2006 because most of my friends are Kpopers. What make me curious about this group is : 1. WHY did Bang Shi Hyuk (they call him Bang PD), put a HIGH trust in RM as a leader? He didn't considered as beauty-talented Idols. He also had a health problem. 2. WHY did they always attack BTS + Big Hit + ARMY? Small group, poor company. DID those "Goliats" afraid of something? Here what I found : 1. Bang PD & RM has similarities : genius, nerd, artistic, "rebel" but soft hearted. They easy to CRY! He read Plutarch's Lives of The Noble Grecians BEFORE elementary school! 2. Bang PD is the MASTERMIND behind the success of 1st & 2nd generation of Kpop under JYP Ent. (BTS is 3rd gen.) Made a legends such as G.O.D, Rain (he even play as a main role in Ninja Assassin), 2AM, Wonder Girls (the FIRST Kpop that feautured in US TV). JYP Ent. was small back then. So yes, he had a role for making JYP successful. Bang PD can make hit songs even with limited resources & money. So, THEY KNEW it. If a genius mastermind meet a genius kid that belongs to 1% elite (IQ) students in Korea, something big will happen. But they may never think that : ARMY will grow as super powers with so many diversities. From kids to 90 y.o grandpa From students to professors. From music enthusiast to music legends them self. That's why they were trying so hard to tackle this group, even until now. But, I believe BTS will still continue to make their history.
@Nyl Nor omg! Thank you for sharing. I got goosebumps! So lucky to have a class with that professor. But, even when Paul Mc Cartney & "Queen" already acknowledge & praised them, there s still huge amount of hate & xenophobic. Thanks to ARMY who always give them the WINGS. I really jealous to those people who knew them earlier 💜
I actually became an army after watching I need you in 2015. I was 15 years old then and living in Singapore, I was facing a lot of struggles with my studies and life. I was bullied and given the cold shoulder a lot in school, I didn’t feel understood by my parents, I was facing important exams and coming from an Asian family results matter but I didn’t do well. I guess after all that accumulation and not being able to voice them out without the presence of friends and family, I became depressed. That’s why after watching “I need you”, I was really drawn in, I felt like I related to the MV a lot, which I guess was a scary thing if I think about it now. I really related to the desperation and sadness in the MV, I think I was sensitive to sadness as an emotion. After watching it, I began listening to some of bts’ songs, and their lyrics really resonated with me. Along the years, their lyrics helped me a lot, I think it’s inexplicable how much they mean to me. Their songs about schooling helped me, songs about dreams helped me, songs about depression and mental health helped me, songs about loving oneself helped me. Although my depression continued on for 3 years due to a lack of treatment, I could go on, I had things to look forward to. Its like finding a soulmate, and you really feel like although you’re not understood by even yourself, there are 7 boys in Korea that will. It’s true that bts finds you when you need them most
I started following them in 2014 with War of Homone. But with I Need You is think is want made me a true Army and love these guys so much. I honestly don't remember my reaction to the MV because I had seen it when it first came out, but I do remember trying to figure whats going on when I learn there was a BU after Run and the Wings Short Films.
I Need U was actully the first BTS song and video I experienced way back in 2015. Didn’t know anything abt the group, I just saw a bunch of Kpop reaction channels reacting to it. I never watched those reactions but since I didn’t recognize the artist they were all suddenly interested in, I decided to check it out myself. Now when I watched it, it was before the “Original Ver.” of the music video came out so all I experienced at first was the song and the heavy emotions of the MV…and I was hooked. Like immediately 😂😂 that song was on repeat for the next 2 months and then during that time I went all the way back to the beginning and watched everything they’d released. By the end of those 2 months or so, the Original Ver was released and I watched it as soon as I saw the notification. Suffice it to say, it blew my mind. Bc now the stakes and emotion were 100x bigger AND we were subsequently thrusted into the BU. I’ve genuinely been hooked ever since and don’t plan on turning my back in the boys now
Idk who told you the Malayisa trip was work focused.. they spend a week in there where they had one day for pictorial shooting and then they spend two day filming behind the scene footage for bangtan bomb, such as the trip to the zoo. They had total of 4 days vacation that they got as present from winning number 1 with I need you. Of course they filmed some activities and logs, but they had plenty of time on their own to actually rest. This is the most rest that theyve got up to this point during the past 4-5years wich includes 2 years after debut and 2-3 years pre-debut.
Last comment.... At the time I don't believe they were going to quit if this album did not do well. They Had a good size following. Most outside Korea.one of the thing Big it did was do a lot of promoting outside of Korea.
They were known to tell ARMYS that if they win then they would do a specific task. Like the lipstick. There was also a time that they said they would drink ot of the trophy. And they did win and poured water into the trophy and Jk drank it until it was gone (all in 1 go)🤣🤗💜🇺🇲 I think the lipstick was a clap back at those who insisted that BTS were girls for wearing makeup. This showed that they were comfortable with who they were/are and that they no longer focused on idiotic put downs as that. They may wear make up but they are the hottest group in the world now. I respect them so much for showing us all how to Love ourselves and to be happy with who they/we are. 💜
If you review chapter two, it explains the weekly music shows. There is a different music show each day of the week. When you go on promotions, you try to perform on each show for at least one week, sometimes more.
Their relationship is another level too. More of friendship and brotherhood. You can really see how genuine and sincere they are with each other. They hyujgs are gentle wirh the maknaes and maknaes as well are respectful to their hyungs. What I love more about them is they don't see each other as their competitor. I mean there's no competition with each other. They compete with their own self to do better...and they are at their best when theybare together.
About those weekly music shows: There are 6 different music shows from different TV stations in South Korea. Their main purpose is a plattform for promotions. All artists who want to promote their latest release will perform back to back. And at the end of the show the weekly winner gets announced (they are determined by stuff like album sales, fan votings, ...). This is mostly to get fans involved and get them watch the show. Promotion periods are usually 2-4 weeks depending on the group. Newer unknown groups will go longer, popular senior groups often only do a few days (I think BTS doesn't go on those weekly music shows at all these days). So with the shere amount of shows it's really not the end of the world if you don't win everytime. I like those shows. It's a good way to discover new artists, you will see your favorite groups perform a lot and there are always nice interactions between the idols of different groups :)
The music shows are kinda like the voice or American idol or x factor. Not so much of a award show so everyone goes on stage and then the winner gets to sing there song again.
Yeah BTS doesn’t do the music shows much anymore bc they’ve become so busy with touring and COVID. I think when COVID goes away they’ll go back to giving k-ARMYs a week of promotion bc even up to early 2020 (b4 everything shut down) BTS would always go for 1 week to see ARMYs before going back on tour
10:40 yeah i agree all kpop groups work hard. i dont get other fans when they put down other groups just cuz of fanwars. unless the idol directly disses another idol from another group it is better to keep the war within fandoms not including the idols.
The big three are known to pay their artists to the top. Not disregarding their talent, the idols are talented. But its no secret that alot of the time companies pay their way to the top
I was already a big fan when I need u come out. But I was amazed! They were my favorite group and it was and still is my favorite song of all time. Spring day is better, but I need u was special. I love the cinematic and the story, it inspired me to work in post-production actually.
RM explained in one of their press conferences that where their album/songs before deal with the external struggle of youth, they wanted to focus on the internal struggles with this one.
I was .1 seconds away from having the exact thing happen to me right while I was reading your post so I lifted my eyes at the last moment and I didn't get startled 😆
I'm an older mature woman and when I watched it that first time I suddenly realised my face was all wet, that I was crying. I remember thinking at the end of it woah no MV has ever had that effect on me before.
I remember when hybe announced bts would not to perform on a Korean network end of the year big concert, and would instead perform in an American show this Korean network then cut txt's (other group from hybe) appearance on the same said concert in a very childish revenge sort of behavior against hybe cuz if bts wasn't going to be there to pull the audience then they wouldn't allow txt lol, so ridiculous to show how these appearances are very based on good relationships with these networks and the money they can make from artists saw this in dkdktv news, but I can't remember if this happened in 2019 or 2020
Now you really know just why BTS is so strong with Army. They have connected with people (us all) on a level of reality that people (us all) can relate to a feel so deeply its like a real life story we've read about, heard about or lived through. We are all together in the BU, we're no longer 7 with you. In actuality our collective consciousness all beings on earth and all beings returned to light state are part of the single consciousness of THE UNIVERSE. We are together one. . ... ...... . FYI Scientists are now examining if it was consciousness (not the big bang) that created The Universe, and continues to expand The Universe.
I couldn’t wait for you to see this because of your reaction to I Need You 🙂 I wanted you to see you were not alone… this was so shocking to me when it came out! I wasn’t Army till Spring Day so I was just a casual watcher and nobody was prepared for this 😆 The thing that is funny to me in retrospect is that here in the US this would be tame a PG-13 because of the blood but somehow I was still shocked 🤦🏻♀️ Your going to love the BU when you get to it, the good thing for you is you don’t have to wait for the next piece 💜 great job! Borahae
They weren’t being judged for their social media activity. Social media scores means votes / engagement for the song coming from social media. The different criteria for these music shows are all music related like digital sales, physical sales, streaming, social media engagement, website voting, and live text voting.
The singing you hear as tho sung from another room at the very beginning of the video is one of their most etherial songs, "Butterfly." The song during the credits/behind the scenes is also "Butterfly." Borahae!😁🤟💜
Regarding I NEED U MV, there were released two versions. The first one, released the same day as the album, was shorter and non explicit. The second one, released after one week, was the one you watched and the complete version!
I haven't found any comments on it. I don't recognise the other reactors, but one of them was Dylan will not participate (now Dylan is in trouble and Ooga Booga).
Korean music chart show programs are representing the mainstream of korean music industry. Korean artist wants to get recognition by general public, participating these shows when they releasing album. Artist can win these kind of shows with their album sales, streaming sales,quantity of mentioning on social media, and vote. About disbanding, it's a half true. Cuz if they couldn't make a win these kind of show, most of idol groups cannot sustain a group because it's all business are matter. So it might be an companies discussion. And ironically members were discussing disbanding in 2018, when they got their first biggest recognition in the U.S
I will say... it's not so much that the guys were thinking of breaking up... BigHit was approaching bankruptcy and they didn't know if they could continue. The 'I Need U' music show wins kind of saved the company - or at lest gave them the hope and momentum to keep going.
BTS and BigHit were literally nothing in the eyes of the South Korean idol music industry, BTS had no seniors to rely on for guidance or support, BigHit barely had any money and the company almost went bankrupt due to BigHit not having a lot of artists due to how small they were and because a previous artist they had got into a scandal, which meant BigHit reputation went down, so no one went to them, so BigHit had less of a chance to create more artists, you get the endless circle. Due to them having no money that meant their training area was so small BTS’ practice room mirror got fogged up from the member’s breathing and they had to wipe it up with newspaper and the company building being small and in a bad neighborhood so the building rooms with the equipment and dance training for BTS regularly got flooded, so BTS had to always scoop out water with buckets. BTS also didn’t have a lot of money for food and put any money they made towards their music videos, art, etc. so their love for food even today could partially be because of how little they had back then. BigHit had no chance of becoming big, BTS had no chance of becoming big, or at least not compared to the groups who people actually knew due to the power of money and face from the big three companies. The big three had so much money and influence through their word due to them being so well known, they had tons of media coverage and had enough influence to keep it that way, just on them. The only people BTS had to support them, and the people which got BTS to where they are today is BTS themselves, BigHit, and ARMY, no one else. This win for I Need U was the first step in BTS’ journey of demolishing the power of the big three in idol music, and many people, fans of the big three and company officials alike did NOT LIKE IT. So you’ll see from here on out a rise in attacks on the BTS members, both professionally from corporate entities and media entities (since the companies had so much power over them), and personally from fans of the big three. The only people BTS had to support them, and the people which got BTS to where they are today, is BTS themselves, BigHit, and ARMY, no one else. I guess that’s why I get so annoyed with the statement that BTS benefited from Kpop’s success or when BTS is attached to the Kpop/idol music label, because it’s false. All this time, BTS was operating OUTSIDE of the idol music system through management practices from the company, social media presence, artistic creativity and freedom, all of which other big three groups and other idol companies didn’t do at all. Because of operating outside of that, and therefore succeeding, BTS have benefited greatly and yet have also gone through so much pain. That is why BTS is so big. Their label, BigHit and CEO, Bang PD, formed BigHit and BTS in rebellion to the unfair practice of the idol music industry. In doing so, he made BTS stand out and become who they are today. To Bang PD, he didn’t run this business with business and making money and being in the favor of the government in mind, he ran this business with making great music and caring for his artists and helping general public/BTS’ audience in mind. THAT is the big difference between Bang PD and BigHit from all these other idol music companies, and it is VITAL to how BTS became so different from other idols since the beginning. From the beginning they had social media presence, artistic freedom, and human connection between artist, label, fan. That is why it’s such a frustration when people put BTS and Idol music together, because BTS never formed under the idol umbrella. They never operated with general idol practices, such as being on variety shows, being in commercials, getting screen time through television with performances or entertainment, etc. They couldn’t, they were too small of a group at the time and from too small of a company to have influence over media at all. So they used the practices they could to get known, to have an actual edge in the competition, social media, blogs, vlogs, RUclips, BigHit hiring people who have extreme potential and/or already have a good groundwork for music experience, etc. However, BTS also experienced beauty and love and freedom of expression through music and sharing it with other people that many others in bigger companies didn’t at the time. It is why they deserve so much more than the the idol music label put on them, because they are so much more than what the idol music industry gave to them, which is nothing. All this time, BTS was operating OUTSIDE of the idol music system through fair and caring management practices from the company, social media presence (other idols just talked with fans through fanmeets not socials), artistic creativity and freedom, all of which other big three groups and other companies did not have plenty of at all. Because of operating outside of that, and therefore succeeding, BTS have set a precedent for other companies to follow if they choose to, and therefore improve the lives and working conditions of idols all across the board. It is utterly astounding and moving to realize how much improvement and good they have left for idols artists in South Korea in their wake. Bang PD and BigHit deserves so much more respect than they get from the fandom. They helped give the ability for BTS to do all that they have done.
I'm not sure if this is true buti have read somewhere that the topics they tackle in the BU are taboo in SoKor that's why is was so dark; extreme poverty, depression, child abandonment, domestic violence...
I'm wondering did they do that after the comments from the Rapper community said about RM and Suga selling out and wearing make up on stage so they were girls? Is that the connection because that is what comes to my mind?
BTS received more hate than any other group. You know why?! They grew up outside the entertainment industry, achieving all the accolades for their accomplishments. Their artistry, their music, their dancing, their relationship with ARMY is apart from anything from the other groups. They are in a niche of their own. 💜💜💜💜
Question which version of i need u did you react?? Because there is one with certian things cut out so it can be played on tv and than there's a 19+ version thats a bit more graphic and longer and gives more context ti the BU
Hi there, I hope it's okay but I just wanted to say that paying for a #1 in the charts isn't a solid investment choice. It's just wrong. It's immoral and illegal and I'm glad BTS never relied on such unfair tactics and they even came out against methods like this in 2019 during the MAMA Song of the Year Award acceptance speech. 💜
It wasn't just the leadership role that was so heavy on RM's shoulders, he was also writing a good chunk of their songs (mostly with Suga). I love their relationship too.

It’s my pleasure thank you for the kind words. I feel like I’m watching this with friends too. Thanks for the info.
He still writes the majority of songs with suga and jhope.
@@dalantis8547 Yes he does

Wow. This is a true underdog story.
They knew the company was on bankruptcy and was probably hoping to finish Big Hit off with legal fees whilst destroying Bts and the company's reputation in the process.
saddest part is, bighit had to actually go to court to clear their and bts name from all of the accusations :(
Great even less funds for the guys :(
I remember this. Company was broke. Based on what I heard Bang PD closed his eyes and took a massive loan.

yes . the amount of belief he had and has on BTS it's strange and it shows how much farther he can see . like who does that . this amount of trust over some teenagers ? it's true if 1 member of BTS was not in group or if they were not in BigHit they could never get this position
From here on, *every* new release they just got bigger and bigger and BIGGER
This is getting exciting.
For me it was like a really fast movie where I was already attached/invested in the characters and it was a rollercoaster of emotions! I remember my stomach tightening in the lead up to THAT scene and then my heart dropped and I cried when Taehyung realized what he had done..it was so many emotions in one go with the flashbacks to what life used to be when they were all together.

Bon voyage is the perfect type of reality show from bts if you wanna watch them have an amazing vacation time with each other. There is a total of 4 seasons! The staff pick a location for the boys based on their preferences, travel as a group, and allow them to freely travel on their own and it's very entertaining. Scenes like the one you seen in this episode came from their summer package. Bts has a total of 5 summer packages dating back from 2015 and two winter packages. The summer package features the members participating in photoshoots around diverse locations for their photobook and a dvd with the behind the scenes of the photoshoots as they play games, write journals, and do fun activities.
Season's greetings is another dvd and is an annual package consisting of year planners, calendars, photobooks, and a behind the scenes dvd of how their shooting went. Usually these take place in south korea while the summer packages take place around the world.
Bts were thinking of disbanding in 2018, not during this era. The boys were heavily struggling around 2016 due to hate but it was never confirmed that there were ever disbandment talks during this time. Only 2018 was the confirmed time. It was quite a shocker for army. I will never forget that award speech.
The hyyh era is honestly my favourite era of music from bts. The album you're getting into is by far the best in my opinion. If you love R&B, nostalgic tunes, heartfelt lyrics then you'll be in for a treat. Jhope really shines during his verses and man, i can talk for days about this album. Young forever is just gold.
Bon Voyage season 1 still my favourite. 🤣🤣 HYYH definitely my favourite too. feel so emo yet full with hope.
I did a bit of research (pardon my English 😅). I knew Kpop since 2006 because most of my friends are Kpopers. What make me curious about this group is :
1. WHY did Bang Shi Hyuk (they call him Bang PD), put a HIGH trust in RM as a leader? He didn't considered as beauty-talented Idols. He also had a health problem.
2. WHY did they always attack BTS + Big Hit + ARMY? Small group, poor company. DID those "Goliats" afraid of something?
Here what I found :
1. Bang PD & RM has similarities : genius, nerd, artistic, "rebel" but soft hearted. They easy to CRY!
He read Plutarch's Lives of The Noble Grecians BEFORE elementary school!
2. Bang PD is the MASTERMIND behind the success of 1st & 2nd generation of Kpop under JYP Ent. (BTS is 3rd gen.) Made a legends such as G.O.D, Rain (he even play as a main role in Ninja Assassin), 2AM, Wonder Girls (the FIRST Kpop that feautured in US TV). JYP Ent. was small back then. So yes, he had a role for making JYP successful. Bang PD can make hit songs even with limited resources & money.
So, THEY KNEW it. If a genius mastermind meet a genius kid that belongs to 1% elite (IQ) students in Korea, something big will happen.
But they may never think that : ARMY will grow as super powers with so many diversities.
From kids to 90 y.o grandpa
From students to professors.
From music enthusiast to music legends them self.
That's why they were trying so hard to tackle this group, even until now.
But, I believe BTS will still continue to make their history.
Thanks for the information, it is always interesting to know more about them! 😊

Health problem? What health problem of RM's are you talking about?
I actually became an army after watching I need you in 2015. I was 15 years old then and living in Singapore, I was facing a lot of struggles with my studies and life. I was bullied and given the cold shoulder a lot in school, I didn’t feel understood by my parents, I was facing important exams and coming from an Asian family results matter but I didn’t do well.

I really related to the desperation and sadness in the MV, I think I was sensitive to sadness as an emotion. After watching it, I began listening to some of bts’ songs, and their lyrics really resonated with me. Along the years, their lyrics helped me a lot, I think it’s inexplicable how much they mean to me. Their songs about schooling helped me, songs about dreams helped me, songs about depression and mental health helped me, songs about loving oneself helped me. Although my depression continued on for 3 years due to a lack of treatment, I could go on, I had things to look forward to. Its like finding a soulmate, and you really feel like although you’re not understood by even yourself, there are 7 boys in Korea that will. It’s true that bts finds you when you need them most
I started following them in 2014 with War of Homone. But with I Need You is think is want made me a true Army and love these guys so much. I honestly don't remember my reaction to the MV because I had seen it when it first came out, but I do remember trying to figure whats going on when I learn there was a BU after Run and the Wings Short Films.
I don't remember hearing anything about the fight in "I Need U' being especially realistic. In the behind the scenes, JK is trying not to laugh.
I Need U was actully the first BTS song and video I experienced way back in 2015.
Didn’t know anything abt the group, I just saw a bunch of Kpop reaction channels reacting to it. I never watched those reactions but since I didn’t recognize the artist they were all suddenly interested in, I decided to check it out myself.
Now when I watched it, it was before the “Original Ver.” of the music video came out so all I experienced at first was the song and the heavy emotions of the MV…and I was hooked. Like immediately 😂😂 that song was on repeat for the next 2 months and then during that time I went all the way back to the beginning and watched everything they’d released.
By the end of those 2 months or so, the Original Ver was released and I watched it as soon as I saw the notification. Suffice it to say, it blew my mind. Bc now the stakes and emotion were 100x bigger AND we were subsequently thrusted into the BU. I’ve genuinely been hooked ever since and don’t plan on turning my back in the boys now
The first time I saw this MV, it made me cry too...it pinched my heart. I saw a clip where Suga was playing this in a piano.
Idk who told you the Malayisa trip was work focused.. they spend a week in there where they had one day for pictorial shooting and then they spend two day filming behind the scene footage for bangtan bomb, such as the trip to the zoo. They had total of 4 days vacation that they got as present from winning number 1 with I need you. Of course they filmed some activities and logs, but they had plenty of time on their own to actually rest. This is the most rest that theyve got up to this point during the past 4-5years wich includes 2 years after debut and 2-3 years pre-debut.
Last comment.... At the time I don't believe they were going to quit if this album did not do well. They Had a good size following. Most outside Korea.one of the thing Big it did was do a lot of promoting outside of Korea.
They were known to tell ARMYS that if they win then they would do a specific task. Like the lipstick. There was also a time that they said they would drink ot of the trophy. And they did win and poured water into the trophy and Jk drank it until it was gone (all in 1 go)🤣🤗💜🇺🇲
I think the lipstick was a clap back at those who insisted that BTS were girls for wearing makeup. This showed that they were comfortable with who they were/are and that they no longer focused on idiotic put downs as that. They may wear make up but they are the hottest group in the world now. I respect them so much for showing us all how to Love ourselves and to be happy with who they/we are. 💜
This coming weekend January 15th, they are starting a new storyline. Is on the webtoon. Is called 7 Faiths :Chako. Should be interesting as well.
7 Fates, not Faiths
I cannot wait. So looking forward to the OST with Jungkooks vocals and Suga producing the song.. It is going to be magic😁💜😁
I loved “I need you”. I was happy they changed and gave us something unpredictable.
If you review chapter two, it explains the weekly music shows. There is a different music show each day of the week. When you go on promotions, you try to perform on each show for at least one week, sometimes more.
Their relationship is another level too. More of friendship and brotherhood. You can really see how genuine and sincere they are with each other. They hyujgs are gentle wirh the maknaes and maknaes as well are respectful to their hyungs. What I love more about them is they don't see each other as their competitor. I mean there's no competition with each other. They compete with their own self to do better...and they are at their best when theybare together.
About those weekly music shows: There are 6 different music shows from different TV stations in South Korea. Their main purpose is a plattform for promotions. All artists who want to promote their latest release will perform back to back. And at the end of the show the weekly winner gets announced (they are determined by stuff like album sales, fan votings, ...). This is mostly to get fans involved and get them watch the show.
Promotion periods are usually 2-4 weeks depending on the group. Newer unknown groups will go longer, popular senior groups often only do a few days (I think BTS doesn't go on those weekly music shows at all these days).
So with the shere amount of shows it's really not the end of the world if you don't win everytime. I like those shows. It's a good way to discover new artists, you will see your favorite groups perform a lot and there are always nice interactions between the idols of different groups :)
The music shows are kinda like the voice or American idol or x factor. Not so much of a award show so everyone goes on stage and then the winner gets to sing there song again.
It is why they started off the episode talking about the big 3 privileges. They get on the music shows more often and then to win...until bighit
Yeah BTS doesn’t do the music shows much anymore bc they’ve become so busy with touring and COVID.
I think when COVID goes away they’ll go back to giving k-ARMYs a week of promotion bc even up to early 2020 (b4 everything shut down) BTS would always go for 1 week to see ARMYs before going back on tour
I always looking forward for your reactions about rise of bangtan series...(best reactor for bts content so far)
❤ You just made my day. Thank you for the kind words.
It's like when the song ended, your mouth will be left open. While digesting what you just saw and hear.
There’s like 5 different music shows for 5 days a week. Yes, that means the idols perform at least 5 times a week to promote their song.
Yes the piano cover is so soothing….Omg
I loved it
10:40 yeah i agree all kpop groups work hard. i dont get other fans when they put down other groups just cuz of fanwars. unless the idol directly disses another idol from another group it is better to keep the war within fandoms not including the idols.
Fun fact: LUMPENS does all of BTS’ music videos
The big three are known to pay their artists to the top. Not disregarding their talent, the idols are talented. But its no secret that alot of the time companies pay their way to the top
I was already a big fan when I need u come out. But I was amazed! They were my favorite group and it was and still is my favorite song of all time. Spring day is better, but I need u was special. I love the cinematic and the story, it inspired me to work in post-production actually.
Love seeing Run BTS playing in the background🤣
I haven’t seen this so I’m just here for the support! ❤️
I'm glad you're getting to see this too @Just Jen Reacts . I have watched some of your reactions too.
I was there when this came out and I swear, I have never seen so much chaos in the fandom at once. Our brains melted all at the same time.
I’ve been waiting for this. I didn’t want to watch it without your reaction.
RM explained in one of their press conferences that where their album/songs before deal with the external struggle of youth, they wanted to focus on the internal struggles with this one.
Can’t believe i missed the live stream🤦🏼♀️ was waiting for it all week
lol we missed you
I am so sad I missed this stream 😭 loved the reaction! can’t wait for everything else you’ll put out !!
This journey is great!
Thats so true! I am 51,but i see them as all my sons!😂.
When i watching them it makes me so happy and proud of all of them.💜💜
I was jamming to the song on the intro and got startled on your hello 😅
I was .1 seconds away from having the exact thing happen to me right while I was reading your post so I lifted my eyes at the last moment and I didn't get startled 😆
I'm an older mature woman and when I watched it that first time I suddenly realised my face was all wet, that I was crying. I remember thinking at the end of it woah no MV has ever had that effect on me before.
I remember when hybe announced bts would not to perform on a Korean network end of the year big concert, and would instead perform in an American show
this Korean network then cut txt's (other group from hybe) appearance on the same said concert in a very childish revenge sort of behavior against hybe cuz if bts wasn't going to be there to pull the audience then they wouldn't allow txt lol, so ridiculous
to show how these appearances are very based on good relationships with these networks and the money they can make from artists
saw this in dkdktv news, but I can't remember if this happened in 2019 or 2020
FYI When Joonie says he wants to catch “crabs” he means actual crustaceans. He has a love for tiny things.
Watching this on my lunch break. 💜💜💜 Take care always everyone!!
Now you really know just why BTS is so strong with Army. They have connected with people (us all) on a level of reality that people (us all) can relate to a feel so deeply its like a real life story we've read about, heard about or lived through. We are all together in the BU, we're no longer 7 with you. In actuality our collective consciousness all beings on earth and all beings returned to light state are part of the single consciousness of THE UNIVERSE. We are together one. . ... ...... . FYI
Scientists are now examining if it was consciousness (not the big bang) that created The Universe, and continues to expand The Universe.
I couldn’t wait for you to see this because of your reaction to I Need You 🙂 I wanted you to see you were not alone… this was so shocking to me when it came out! I wasn’t Army till Spring Day so I was just a casual watcher and nobody was prepared for this 😆 The thing that is funny to me in retrospect is that here in the US this would be tame a PG-13 because of the blood but somehow I was still shocked 🤦🏻♀️ Your going to love the BU when you get to it, the good thing for you is you don’t have to wait for the next piece 💜 great job! Borahae
They weren’t being judged for their social media activity. Social media scores means votes / engagement for the song coming from social media.
The different criteria for these music shows are all music related like digital sales, physical sales, streaming, social media engagement, website voting, and live text voting.
The singing you hear as tho sung from another room at the very beginning of the video is one of their most etherial songs, "Butterfly."
The song during the credits/behind the scenes is also "Butterfly."
Borahae!😁🤟💜
I can’t wait for you to get into the BU! It really makes you think and sucks you in.
I always look forward to your reactions on these videos. I also love this documentary ❤😘
Regarding I NEED U MV, there were released two versions. The first one, released the same day as the album, was shorter and non explicit. The second one, released after one week, was the one you watched and the complete version!
so upset i missed this stream and the one on twitch TT i fell asleep before they started
I just watched chapter 19 and it was a masterpiece 🥲🥲and there are still weeks before you see it🤧
26:18 lol I totally get what you mean
The funny thing is that u laughing at them just the same way we laughed at u. Actually I showed my daughter ur reaction lol
@@cherylwalker4242 I guess we can all laugh at each other 🤣
I haven't found any comments on it. I don't recognise the other reactors, but one of them was Dylan will not participate (now Dylan is in trouble and Ooga Booga).
I love BTS so much💜💜💜
Korean music chart show programs are representing the mainstream of korean music industry. Korean artist wants to get recognition by general public, participating these shows when they releasing album.
Artist can win these kind of shows with their album sales, streaming sales,quantity of mentioning on social media, and vote.
About disbanding, it's a half true. Cuz if they couldn't make a win these kind of show, most of idol groups cannot sustain a group because it's all business are matter. So it might be an companies discussion. And ironically members were discussing disbanding in 2018, when they got their first biggest recognition in the U.S
I will say... it's not so much that the guys were thinking of breaking up... BigHit was approaching bankruptcy and they didn't know if they could continue. The 'I Need U' music show wins kind of saved the company - or at lest gave them the hope and momentum to keep going.
PLEASE PUT THE REACTION FOR "MOVING ON" UP ON RUclips. ITS ONE OF MY FAV BTS SONGS TO EVER EXIST
🎉🎉🎉
BTS and BigHit were literally nothing in the eyes of the South Korean idol music industry, BTS had no seniors to rely on for guidance or support, BigHit barely had any money and the company almost went bankrupt due to BigHit not having a lot of artists due to how small they were and because a previous artist they had got into a scandal, which meant BigHit reputation went down, so no one went to them, so BigHit had less of a chance to create more artists, you get the endless circle. Due to them having no money that meant their training area was so small BTS’ practice room mirror got fogged up from the member’s breathing and they had to wipe it up with newspaper and the company building being small and in a bad neighborhood so the building rooms with the equipment and dance training for BTS regularly got flooded, so BTS had to always scoop out water with buckets. BTS also didn’t have a lot of money for food and put any money they made towards their music videos, art, etc. so their love for food even today could partially be because of how little they had back then. BigHit had no chance of becoming big, BTS had no chance of becoming big, or at least not compared to the groups who people actually knew due to the power of money and face from the big three companies. The big three had so much money and influence through their word due to them being so well known, they had tons of media coverage and had enough influence to keep it that way, just on them. The only people BTS had to support them, and the people which got BTS to where they are today is BTS themselves, BigHit, and ARMY, no one else.
This win for I Need U was the first step in BTS’ journey of demolishing the power of the big three in idol music, and many people, fans of the big three and company officials alike did NOT LIKE IT. So you’ll see from here on out a rise in attacks on the BTS members, both professionally from corporate entities and media entities (since the companies had so much power over them), and personally from fans of the big three. The only people BTS had to support them, and the people which got BTS to where they are today, is BTS themselves, BigHit, and ARMY, no one else. I guess that’s why I get so annoyed with the statement that BTS benefited from Kpop’s success or when BTS is attached to the Kpop/idol music label, because it’s false. All this time, BTS was operating OUTSIDE of the idol music system through management practices from the company, social media presence, artistic creativity and freedom, all of which other big three groups and other idol companies didn’t do at all. Because of operating outside of that, and therefore succeeding, BTS have benefited greatly and yet have also gone through so much pain.
That is why BTS is so big. Their label, BigHit and CEO, Bang PD, formed BigHit and BTS in rebellion to the unfair practice of the idol music industry. In doing so, he made BTS stand out and become who they are today. To Bang PD, he didn’t run this business with business and making money and being in the favor of the government in mind, he ran this business with making great music and caring for his artists and helping general public/BTS’ audience in mind. THAT is the big difference between Bang PD and BigHit from all these other idol music companies, and it is VITAL to how BTS became so different from other idols since the beginning. From the beginning they had social media presence, artistic freedom, and human connection between artist, label, fan. That is why it’s such a frustration when people put BTS and Idol music together, because BTS never formed under the idol umbrella. They never operated with general idol practices, such as being on variety shows, being in commercials, getting screen time through television with performances or entertainment, etc. They couldn’t, they were too small of a group at the time and from too small of a company to have influence over media at all. So they used the practices they could to get known, to have an actual edge in the competition, social media, blogs, vlogs, RUclips, BigHit hiring people who have extreme potential and/or already have a good groundwork for music experience, etc. However, BTS also experienced beauty and love and freedom of expression through music and sharing it with other people that many others in bigger companies didn’t at the time. It is why they deserve so much more than the the idol music label put on them, because they are so much more than what the idol music industry gave to them, which is nothing. All this time, BTS was operating OUTSIDE of the idol music system through fair and caring management practices from the company, social media presence (other idols just talked with fans through fanmeets not socials), artistic creativity and freedom, all of which other big three groups and other companies did not have plenty of at all. Because of operating outside of that, and therefore succeeding, BTS have set a precedent for other companies to follow if they choose to, and therefore improve the lives and working conditions of idols all across the board. It is utterly astounding and moving to realize how much improvement and good they have left for idols artists in South Korea in their wake. Bang PD and BigHit deserves so much more respect than they get from the fandom. They helped give the ability for BTS to do all that they have done.
💜 Borahae 💜
I'm not sure if this is true buti have read somewhere that the topics they tackle in the BU are taboo in SoKor that's why is was so dark; extreme poverty, depression, child abandonment, domestic violence...
I'm wondering did they do that after the comments from the Rapper community said about RM and Suga selling out and wearing make up on stage so they were girls? Is that the connection because that is what comes to my mind?
💜
React to BTS American Hustle Life..
BTS received more hate than any other group. You know why?! They grew up outside the entertainment industry, achieving all the accolades for their accomplishments. Their artistry, their music, their dancing, their relationship with ARMY is apart from anything from the other groups. They are in a niche of their own. 💜💜💜💜
Did you do your stream for HYYH album yet? please share it cuz I missed it
I did ROB on RUclips today and HYYH on twitch
@@JimGames please share me the links thank you!
@@ataraxia7949 Album reaction www.twitch.tv/jimgameslive or Patreon for now
@@JimGames thank you so much!!
Question which version of i need u did you react??
Because there is one with certian things cut out so it can be played on tv and than there's a 19+ version thats a bit more graphic and longer and gives more context ti the BU
He watched the 19+ one so the original. 😊
Hi there, I hope it's okay but I just wanted to say that paying for a #1 in the charts isn't a solid investment choice. It's just wrong. It's immoral and illegal and I'm glad BTS never relied on such unfair tactics and they even came out against methods like this in 2019 during the MAMA Song of the Year Award acceptance speech. 💜
