Jin was approached by those companies due to his looks, but please don't take it into heart, cause there's so much more to him! His singing is gorgeous, and as the oldest, he's essential for the group dynamics!
6:00 Bang si hyuk PD is called 'Hitman Bang' in the industry because all the songs he produced were hits
Oh?? I thought it was because the company's name was Bighit... U learn something new everyday... 😅💜
exactly
@@meghanav3450 No the company is from his nickname I think. And if u look into it all the songs he worked on are bops. Hits the lot of them.
You: "Six minutes in, it's already a great documentary!"
The Rise of Bangtan: "Here...hold my drink..."
Can’t wait for him to start going through those!
Im not that excited about reactors lately, as they all watch cringe tik tok bts stuff or just watch bts for the views, its so so nice to have an actual passionate person like you join us and im so excited for this Journey with you! 😇
I am glad you're here with us, lofie!
@@ThisRoscoe thank you so am i!! :)
agree!!!
1000% agree! My friends and I were just talking about this today. I recommended Roscoe to them. 💜
Yesss. So tired of tiktok compilations on reaction channels. I can watch those in my own time.
Jin has literally won so many awards and accolades for his looks. Not just in Korea, where he fits "traditional korean beauty standards", but also worldwide. Groups have visuals, those that get people interested in the group because of their looks. Jin's acting could have also been something BigHit was interested in. The storytelling they have done with him and the others is phenomenal.
Just here to commend JK’s parents for allowing him to choose Big Hit especially just because he thought “RM was cool”. Imagine your 13 y/o, very talented son, who has offers from 6 other bigger companies telling you this. The universe really had plans and everything fell in its perfect place…
I just got reminded that jin got scouted by SM to be, probably, in exo and he thought it was a scam. Then he chose to go to big hit as a actor when they scouted him
The kpop industry has a HUGE Japanese market so learning Japanese is usually a normal part of the entertainment company’s idol training programs, most groups will go on to have Japanese albums and songs to promote in Japan. Nearly all South Korean idols end up learning Japanese and English to some extent. The talent honestly blows my mind
Addictive personality, have you? 😂 You’re right, you will LOSE yourself in BTS world, but you will also FIND yourself! It is a magical music-filled space, full of optimism and laughter, because healing happens with these boys. Authenticity is the name of their ART, and far from being sappy, these artists are not afraid to be vulnerable, be goofy and show love… Their evolving interests and experiments with different genres and themes is so refreshing that we’re never bored. They are so GENEROUS with their time and energy that we constantly fed. So, hold on tight and enjoy the ride!
Great post! I resonate with your words so much!💜
100% 💜💜
I love your post dear fellow Army!! Such beautiful word🤗💜
Have a butter-ful weekend!
Ok Roscoe, I've watched many reactors to BTS but I can honestly say that you are the most passionate to learn about these amazing human beings that I've seen. I'm truly enjoying it. Keep it up, stay safe and well and welcome new Army, Borahae 💜
Thanks Ninjabunny!! love that name too! Borahae my friend! 💜
@@ThisRoscoe most welcome and thank you also friend.
I agree, that's why I see him checking the Rise of Bangtan series even before checking any more music T-T
He is by far…enjoy this journey bro!
@@ThisRoscoe Exactly so very enjoyable, friend. You are the reactor I never knew I needed. I really love seeing you go thru their BTS journey. Borahae!💜💜
I'll start off with Bang SiHyuk's background. So, Bang PD/Bang Sihyuk/'Hitman' Bang was a well-known and respected producer. He went to Kyunggi Highschool, deciding then that music was his life and knowing that he needed to learn all he could, he did grow up in a musical home BUT, his parents were against him pursuing it- Honestly this is something that we able to connect with a few members of BTS on.. like Namjoon, Suga, and J-Hope. Anyway, Bang Si-Hyuk went to Seoul National University where he made a lot of friends and learned and refined his skills, he also debuted as a producer while in University when he met and worked with his friend- Park Jin-Young... aka JYP, THE JYP who founded JYP Entertainment (one of the famed previously BIG 3 companies). When JYP founded JYPE, Bang worked for him and he found sucess as a writer, producer, composer. He found this immense success and reputation from working on music for first gen Boy Group- G.O.D. JYP and Bang Si-hyuk were responsible for G.O.D's debut album and it was very successful. Bang was awarded multiple awards for god's songs- 'One Candle', and 'Road' , one of those awards was the 'Hit Makers' award, after that... people nicknamed Bang Si-Hyuk- 'Hitman' Bang. That nickname stuck and he still uses it to this day.
Bang saw how companies ran the artists rugged... how most companies didn't allow their artists to actually write or have a say in things. This wasn't just his criticisms for JYPE, but a lot of other companies he saw and got to know. So, Bang decided a Few years into the early 2000's that he wanted to do something different. So, he opened his own Entertainment company in 2005- BigHit Entertainment. That same year he trained his first batch of trainees with no trainee system and debuted them in 2007 as a three person co-ed group- called 8Eight. They disbanded years later but Lee Hyun remained with the company and is a solo artists, he is also the only consistent big Brother that BTS had from when they were trainees to now.
BigHit then debuted 2am which was a counterpart to JYP's 2pm, both groups would join together and form a group called- One day.
8Eight and 2am had success, 2am was more successful as they were more popish but they did do ballads.
The only 'scandal' Bang Si-Hyuk got caught in was with the girl group he tried to debut called GLAM. First, one of the trainees proved to be a sasaeng(obsessed fan) of a member from another group in another company. That company brought it to Bang's attention and the girl was fired before she could even debut. She went on to make a youtube channel and try to talk crap about BigHit. Then, GLAM debuted and two girls, because they thought they'd be super successful and have brand name stuff and make a lot of money.... they ended up going out drinking with a pretty famous actor in Korea and they tried to blackmail him. Both girls got jail time and GLAM disbanded. I felt bad for the two girls in the group who didn't do anything, but I think they went on to other companies, and I believe one of them debuted with another group.
So, that was really the only 'scandal' he got caught in, and it was for 2 girls in his girl group, and one girl who was a trainee... BigHit stopped Auditioning girls after that, untill they bought Source Music and created BeLift Labs, and then bought Pledis and I think two other Labels who are now all under HYBE. And they will be debuting 2 new girl group this year 1 in Source and 1 in BeLift Labs. I will note that this situation lost him a lot of money, and almost made it so that BTS couldn't debut.
Since this comment is super long, I'm going to just add that Jin was auditioning to be an actor, he didn't audition to be an Idol. He thought he was going to be an actor- As an Entertainment company in Korea- these companies don't just manage and produce for musical artists. If you look at any Entertainment company you can find they also manage actors, actresses, and models as well. Some even support fashion creators and will manage them as well to an extent.
Jin was good looking, He was seen by the university and after a simple talk, the scout for BigHit knew his major was in acting. So... naturally he wanted Jin to audition. Jin's face and body has been examined by scientists and he has perfect body proportions as well as a perfect face. His face is the most symmetrical. There was a rumor that another member got this award, but it wasn't, Korean Media did a whole piece, interviewing multiple specialists who said SeokJin of BTS has the 'perfect' face. It wasn't till he joined the company, that Bang thought.. hey, let's see if he's willing to be an Idol.
ARMYs will correct the misinformation or delve into the stuff that was only briefly touched on. Thank you again for taking the time to get to know BTS, their story, their Journy. I hope I could provide the answers you were seeking. 💜💜💜💜
Wow, thank you for this information. I learned a lot.
This is an awesome summary of some backstory on both Bang PD & Jin.
I’ll also add that Pang PD majored in Aesthetics at Seoul National University (which also happens to be 1 of 3 of the most prestigious universities in South Korea). I think knowing about his major is just so interesting given just how beautiful BTS performances and music videos can be. Makes me wonder if his background may have also played a role.
@@elisiagoncalves6773 Thank you so much for providing more information. I was trying to be brief because some people tend to be bothered by long posts, but I have a habit of being as in-depth as I can be lol. So thank you again 💜💜
@@ARMYnotArmy Absolutely! I love how much detail you went into, because I also learned some new information I didn't know about. Thanks for taking the time to share!
@@elisiagoncalves6773 - For sure, Elisia. Bang’s background had everything to do with his commitment to concepts and high production values for both the albums and the MVs. Let us remember that Aesthetics is actually a branch of PHILOSOPHY. Consider Blood Sweat & Tears as an example. It shows how artistically ambitious Bang’s vision was and his ability to appreciate, resonate with and support RM’s literary interests (Hesse, Murakami, and later Jung). Another thing that may be attributed to his background is his understanding that they needed not just good producers such as PDogg, and Docskim, on board (both classically trained, based on what I inferred from their work on BS&T and LIE), but also a talented choreographer who would nurture the boys, and an intelligent film director to produce their MVs, namely LUMPENS. I believe it is this combination of excellence that supported our 7 artists, like midwives delivering the BTS that we know today.
Yes they sing all in Japanese, too. It's basically a career MUST because Korea isn't really a big enough market for music artists to stay lucrative, and Japan is the 2nd largest consumer of Kpop after Korea
Last year BTS made history (again!) as the first & only artist to chart on Billboard with hits in *3* different languages (Korean: "Life Goes On"; Japanese: "Film Out"; English: "Dynamite") 💜💜💜
I did not know this. Thank you. Truly an astonishing accomplishment.
i love LOVE their japanese songs too.. because i can sing along with them coz its mostly slow songs. 💜
I know what you mean, I remember that before I became army I missed feeling deeply passionate about something and that's one of the gifts the boys gave me. I think feeling this strongly and caring so much about them makes me feel more alive. It's a good feeling.
You nailed it, Camile!
I’m in my 50s now been a fan of the my boys since 2016 it’s been such a honour to follow them 💜🇬🇧
I am with you Nana.
Jin is a revelation in the group. Aside form his good looks, he has that "innate" talent in him that was just waiting to be discovered and BigHit was able to uncovered that hidden talent. Jin came from a wealthy family and embrace the trainee days. So humble and down to earth. He is a caring and loving hyung to all his members like when they were still in training and they lack funds and resources he would randomly treat all his members to dinner paying with the credit card his mom gave him while he was away for training. When JK was still studying he would prepared JK's school meals and would drive JK to school, and he also feeds him more often. When JK almost wanted to quit BTS because he misses his mom, Jin's love made him stayed. He was treated as a real family at Jin's house whenever Jin would bring him to his house.
He certainly has come a long way; more respect to him for doing it without that background. I would argue that his recent OST (Yours) is *one of the most beautiful songs* I have ever heard to date.
Yes Jin was approached twice because he was a very good looking guy. He started singing and dancing after joining the group literally starting from zero❤️
There are strict beauty standards in South Korea, for men and women. Kpop groups have official “visuals”, those men or women who most closely epitomise those beauty standards - and Jin was approached for that reason, he is considered remarkably handsome in his own country (his worldwide handsome gag originated because he thought it was hilarious that he was still considered handsome in western countries), I guess they figured they could teach him to dance and sing or rap well enough to be in a group - they wanted his good looks. Luckily, it turned out, with a lot of work, Jin has a beautiful, powerful voice, he is a good dancer, and his personality has made him such a vital component of BTS - he is much loved 💜
It’s so interesting to hear Jin sing, because his voice holds so much emotion into it. I get goosebumps from his solo songs.
Jin in their early days was extremely shy and only started becoming more comfortable with himself during the ‘Fire’ era. Introducing himself as Worldwide Handsome is not only funny and cute, but served as a way to boost his confidence (in a non-narcissistic way), given his shy personality.
I think that was a little joke also.
So Bang Si-Hyuk aka Hitman Bang, before being CEO of BigHit, worked as a composer, producer, etc and worked closely with Park Jin-Young (aka JYP -- a singer songwriter from the mid 90's, but is also CEO of his own entertainment company, JYP Entertainment, JYPE). When JYP made JYPE, Bang joined in and helped produced some of the biggest hits of the time, hence Hitman Bang hehe. He eventually left JYPE and decided to create his own company: Big Hit Entertainment. It has recently been rebranded as HYBE (you'll see the difference between old BTS music video intros and current ones), and I believe he also stepped down as CEO to focus more on the music aspect for the groups. (people, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)
The status now may be different, and admittingly I haven't been into the kpop scene much, but back in the day, early/mid 2000's maybe, there was something we called the big 3, which were the 3 biggest entertainment companies: JYP Entertainment, YG Entertainment (YG was mentioned at the beginning of the video), and SM Entertainment. The other video by xCeleste mentioned that BigHit didn't have the influence/power over broadcasting, and that is because bigger companies that has more money and has better status would get priority, partially as to not ruin their connection with them. There are other entertainment companies as well, but in terms of being known and having successful artists (plural), Big Hit wasn't up there. When BTS first won awards, people couldn't believe it because we were so used to a group from one of the big 3 to win awards. People within the fandom, especially those in Korea, are very intense when it comes to their support for their group, and unfortunately that also leads to bashing or slandering other groups, and sometimes even create fan wars.
Regarding Jin's story, in case it might've confused you, there are people from entertainment companies that "scout" people on the street or wherever. If they see some sort of potential, or if the person is really good looking, they try to reach out to them, give them the company card, and see if they're interested in auditioning to sign either as an actor, model, musician, etc. Not sure about the actor/model, but for music, they do go through intense training (singing and dancing) with monthly evaluations. They will do projects or performances group/partnered with other people to see if there's a potential chemistry there. Through this process, which usually takes years (some people are trainees even for 8 years because they started young), there are groups that will debut. Even for BTS, it wasn't these 7 that were set, there were other people that were training with them that didn't make it through the cut.
The song that played that you're asking about, it's the Intro to their single debut album 2 COOL 4 SKOOL (2013). It's about a minute long so you're more than welcome to listen to it :D
You're not alone in your reaction to RM's presence. My first time seeing them was their dance practice for No More Dream and We Are Bulletproof Pt2. Without knowing the roles, just seeing how he was in the group and the choreography formation, I remember thinking, "This guy's a BOSS. He's probably the leader."
I mentioned this in the comment of one of your other videos, but you're not wrong in fans being defensive, but because you're learning, I think it's fine for you to make observations and comments (you're not being rude about it anyway). The thing is, a lot of newer fans will watch videos like these (the BTS 101-type videos) and regurgitate info. The whole green screen thing, I will say was because of Fake Love. When BTS was becoming more known in North America, their song Fake Love came out, and the scenes are incredible. People watching questioned if it was CGI but to many people's surprise, very minimal. Almost everything was real. And because of this, fans are going around saying, "They don't use green screen" but this is where they're jumping the gun -- because of 1 music video, fans are saying something as fact.
Regarding them singing Japanese, a lot of these artists also promote in Japan as well as China, so they do learn some Japanese and Chinese as well to be able to speak a bit on interviews or shows. They have Japanese version of some of their songs, but they also have songs that are available only in Japanese.
P.s - That sweater looks really good, really comfy :)
wow your comment is so detailed,i love it
I Love your comment 🤭
That intro for 2 Cool 4 Skool needs to be ten minutes long. And when I’d get done listening to it I’d wish it was an hour long.
"is this your first time with bts? and you what, for a lot of people, it was" SAME HEREE. back in 2015. I remember it to.this day❤
23:34 You are correct about how brave & dangerous it was for them to write songs that went against the Korean government the education system the music industry the media & calling out the generation before them who created the problems youth is going through. As well as empowering them to do something to change the system. It’s exactly what the youth craved & Bang PD gave them a voice to be heard & understood with this new “hip hop group”💜
"BTS finds you when you need them the most"The words from a true army that everyone can feel. My favourite line . Definitely going to be on my next hoodie
When you said “this feeling that you’re excited but dunno why?” That’s Bangtan effect, my dude. We all feel that. Especially when you first discovered them. I’m grinning like an idiot thinking about my fetus ARMY days… Good times.
Same 😂
" BTS find you when you need them the most"" truer words have never been spoken 💜
Hi from a 78yr old Army in Finland. You popped up in my recommendations with MicDrop, which was my first encounter with BTS in 2017. I had no idea what beat saber was so I watched and then binged your videos so you got a new subscriber. Thank you for great reactions. By the way, the mug - Friends 😁. Love from 🇫🇮💜💜💜
Wow, may I ask if you have a bias in the group
hello from 🇵🇭💜
Hello from silver army another 78 yr. old and from across the world in California USA . I discovered them 5 years ago and my life has been enriched by them. Our brain must still be in working order as I also get the mug🤣 stay healthy and safe 💜
Same!
Hi !! I'm a 62 year old ARMY from America, Borahae!! (expression V created in 2016, it means "I purple you " which means "I'll love you forever" basically)
19:37 I believe wholeheartedly that the universe gave humanity BTS when we need them most. The exponential growth of inequality & hate in every part of the world needed something this special💜
Every time I think about all the good these guys bring to the world, and how people who have actually interacted with them always speak so highly of their work ethic and manners, I’m always in shock that it’s real! How lucky the universe is to be blessed with not 1 or 2, but ALL SEVEN members being from different backgrounds and parts of Korea, but still sharing similar beliefs and imparting so much happiness to the world. As hobi once said, it feels like them meeting was fate.
lol Jungkook's the biggest RM fanboy and he's always vocal about his admiration towards Namjoom even today.. and he'll always tell the story of why he decided to join BigHit in every chance he got...
BTS whole discography is a story of their journey and growth as artists and people. And really it’s just so beautiful to watch. From puberty and school to the men they are now. They really introspect out loud thru their music. Partially why it resonates with so many. It’s very relatable. And I think people generally want to grow and change. So their journey becomes really inspiring
Yes they were singing in Japanese and they have quite a few japanese songs that i truly love: crystal snow, your eyes tell, let go, film out
Yes, I love all of those songs you mentioned!
Adding ‘Don’t Leave Me’ to this list. My personal favorite.
Jin’s vocals really shine on their Japanese singles.
I Like It-Part 2 Ano Bashode is my favorite 💜
@@sugaismypetrock ahhh another good one! :D
Lol your reaction to RM is relatable for me. He was the first member that caught my eye because of the charisma he has on stage and in the videos. After 5 years, he still has my heart even though his actual personality is the opposite of his looks haha. He looks like he could be the highschool bully but in reality he is the clumsy nerd of the group 😂
At the beginning, I found him scary since he's a serious leader of BTS, but now I look at him and go "aww...". Lol.
I loved your description "clumsy nerd" :-) it fits perfectly! I love his brain, his smile (dimples!!!), his patience (that I lack)
28:28 yup! they work with a team of writers in japan to translate the lyrics for the songs originally written in korean or to have them write the original japanese tracks. there's also a chinese version of boy in luv that doesn't get talked about very often but definitely exists!
hi yes my name is jay, im a bangtan encyclopedia and im absolutely using you as an excuse to just spew all the random facts ive collected over the past almost 8 years 😃
Hahaha 😂
so as a jin biased I had to stop video to make this comment. yes he was approached cuz he is extremely good looking. his nickname is worldwide handsome cuz he goes viral everywhere bts goes, non fans asking who he is. he went viral as third guy from left, zoom in guy, car door guy, the guy in orange suit and .... he was declared most perfect face in the world, best sculpted face in the world and they even sculpted his face in crystal, world #1 naturally art face, most good looking man in the world, most handsome asian, most handsome man in the world 2019, golden ratio, best visual of kpop, visual king and ...
but he isnt just his looks. even tho he didn't have any musical experience he is the most critically acclaimed vocalist of group now. he is a powerhouse vocalist known for his incredible strong high notes. he is also skilled actor but all that aside these arent the only reason he is my bias.
he might be years younger than me but his personality is to look up to. jin personality helped me be happy. he love being positive and spread positivity. he say making others happy makes him happy. he has a strong personality that I love. I will stop cuz I can go on for days but u probably won't enjoy me talking much. one day if u wanted to try to know them individually try the video: jin influence and love for bts and their thoughts of jin by seokjinie zone.
I love them all. they r all individually extremely talented with great personalities.
I enjoy ur reactions a lot ♡
Hahaha fair point!
'I mention this like every video'. We know this and we respect you for it
because honestly same 😂💜
You’ve been bewitched by Namjoon’s “Dragon Eyes” that’s what we call them in the fandom. He can truly stare into your soul
SO. TRUE.
Yes I get chills thinking about how they got together and the talents they possess ….talents that I believe are God gifted and the ability to connect to and get the world to connect to each other….just comes from a higher place….imo💜💜
Becoming a trainee is like getting into college. The college gives you an education, but only those who work hard enough, get a diploma.
Same with modeling agencies, or sports clubs - that make money on fees, so they'll recruit anyone. But they'll try to recruit kids with the most potential because a successful trainee means more money for the agency.
Good way to put it
Divine timing, they were aligned by the Stars
Fun fact: I think you missed it when it was mentioned but Suga's name is short for Shooting Guard (because that was his position in the basketball team). So SHOOting GAurd = Shooga= Suga. Suga's alias name is Agust D. Agust D is Suga flipped (Agus) the D and T at the end stands for Daegu Town (which is his birth place). So Agust D is Daegu Town SUGA which flipped is AGUST D.
I def DID miss that shooting guard fact, then someone pointed it out in the comments.. but the AGUST D... Didn't know that!! NICE! Thanks, Michael!
@@ThisRoscoe Your welcome Roscoe. Anything to help a new ARMY out. Suga (or Agust D) is a beast as a rapper. Agust D is the name he uses as a solo artist. Here's 2 links to Agust D's work:

You look so cuddly in your dad's sweater! It's giving internet dad vibes. Like a Mr Rogers energy if that makes sense. So comforting and welcoming.
Love that!
First, I LOVE your dad's sweater. You wear it well. I knew this documentary would grab you. It is very well done. Not taking anything away from Xceleste. She has given us some great content. This is the deep dive into their history that you needed. 💜
A lot of record labels also have actors signed under them, so Jin could have been approached for that. But record labels have so many people who recruit for them because they probably have 100s of trainees (young kids) at one time where they basically train kids from scratch how to dance and sing.
good answer🥰💜
If you're gonna watch the SAVE ME MV, pls watch also the making of this, with english subs. There you will see how they did the one take, and their hardships and perseverance together with the crews... Just amazing 💜💜💜
Thanks Jen!
“BTS finds you when you need them most” and THEY LEAVE YOU SPEECHLESS and FLABBERGASTED!
I'm so here for Roscoe channeling Mr. Rogers with that sweater. So great!
We gotta be comfy on the couch, amirite!!
IKR! 🥰💜
Mr. Rogers! LOL!
This is one of my favorite documentaries. So a few points, they mentioned American Hustle Life, I wont tell you what happens in the first episode , but everyone who has watched it was angry with what they did to the boys. Even the second episode in parts were cringy but if you can get past the anger the rest of the series is worth watching so please do. Also with I Need U they use the word girl , but RM said the word girl used to be friend but it didn't work when singing the chorus so he changed it to girl but it doesn't necessarily mean they were talking about a girl. Also many of their songs are not gender specific or about romatic relationships such as boy and girl because they want to leave all their songs up to interpretation to cover everyone such as friend relationship which most believe I Need U was about their friendship and it helps others relate to the songs. As for singing in Japanese yes they do, some great song are Crystal Snow and Your Eye Tell which both show case the vocals. What i do like most about BTS they cover all genres of music but they make it relatable by leaving things up to interpretation. Like their songs about loss, it could mean any sort of loss not just about death. I just woke up and thought I'd watch this before I get more sleep before my shift, sorry I babbled on lol I tend too. Thanks for giving your thoughts on this great group of artists , we can see you already loved them like we do. Look forward to your part two.
If you do watch American Hustle Life you will cringe the first episode & be turned off by it but 1/2 way into the 2nd episode it smooths out & is really good after that:) 💜
@@sugaismypetrock I actually have watched it, and you are right we had the same thought after the second episode it gets better.
Yes that first episode of American Hustle causes my blood pressure to sky rocket…I don’t care who you think you are or how FAMOUS you are you do not have the right to do that ESPECIALLY to a group of non English speaking boys from Korea….I get people teach about suffering but suffering comes in colors, genders and religions….no one goes through life without experiencing it at least once
RM, Suga and Jin are my triple bias. JHOPE, JK, V and Jimin are my bias wreckers.
TRIPLE BIAS! Love it!
You're the first triple bias I've seen. I'm a Joonie bias. Yoongi and now Jinnie are my wreckers, but I'm first and foremost always OT7 💜
The best thing about these young men is that they have remained 100% humble from day one. They stuck to their dream and now they rule the world.
There are bunches of versions of mic drop. The beat saber one was probably the Steve Aioki remix which is mostly in English. There’s the original ver (here) that is in Korean, the Japanese version, the Desiigner version, and then they mix it up even more with the different dance versions.
The Idols industries aren’t exactly just for music, they are there for entertainment like variety shows and k-dramas. Jin probably fit the korean beauty standards that’s why his position in BTS is as the visual. The visual is not just the eye catching one, but they usually go the award shows representing the brand and host several shows and also acts as MC’s on TV. But don’t get fooled. He wasn’t tone deaf or anything, during auditions he show vocal potential, he could carry a tone, he just wasn’t trained. He improved A LOT and has a beautiful range and sings beautifully.
Yes yes yes!
I love how you start you videos with “Hey buddy”. I think that’s awesome, buddy.
Thanks, buddy, 🤗
My husband always says to me " you, living in your purple happy world " 😊💜
The KPop groups are open and honest about members being selected as "visuals". If you watch some of the earlier BTS reality shows like Hustle Life you will see that Jin was always insecure as he felt he was less talented than the other guys especially in dance. But he worked so hard and he has such a humble personality and is now a great dancer and singer. This could have so easily devolved into a toxic situation. Jin inspires me.
What a lot to comment on here. Firstly, casting off the street was common in the early days of Hollywood and in the early days of K-Pop. It isn’t so common nowadays. Jin would’ve been cast for his looks as was SHINee’s Minho. They picked a gem in Jin. He had so much talent hiding under his looks. Namjoon is the group leader but he’s called, The President, by ARMYs. We think he’d make a damn good president. They were treated very badly in American Hustle Life but V met the lady on whom Sister Act was based and she praised his soulful vocals and gave him a lot of confidence. His parents weren’t farmers but his grandparents were and he lived with them for a major period of his life. His dad would visit him on the farm at weekends and was very supportive. Just One Day is a beautiful, gentle song. Make sure to watch the dance practice as well as the mv for that. I believe that they did more than one take for, Save Me, but it was all done in one day in atrocious conditions. The poor cameraman was trying to dash around them in the strong wind. I think they did several one takes if you see what I mean. You can find the making of that on RUclips. It has a companion song called, I’m Fine. Watch them live and you’ll see one transition into the other. Hitman Bang used social media to bring BTS to the attention of potential fans. The company was failing so didn’t have the money to buy it’s way into shows like the big companies did. It’s why we are blessed with so much footage of them. They had to learn to live with cameras on them all the time. They even sometimes shot them when they were sleeping and washing off their makeup. The funny thing about calling Taehyung, V, is that it’s a sound that isn’t present in the Korean language so it comes out like, ‘Pwi’ or ‘Bwi’ unless they’re concentrating. Lastly a lot if English speakers want BTS to do a whole album in English but much as I love Dynamite, Butter and PTD, I think they are at their best in Korean and it makes it so much more fun to have to find out what they’re singing about and learn to sing the Korean with them.
There are vocalists, rappers, dancers, and visuals in kpop groups. Jin was picked up as a visual. He still had to train and pass the trainee period to debut. Jin’s superior work ethic was impressive and he learned how to sing and dance.
Jin is WORLD-WIDE handsome!
your dad's sweater made me burst into tears. It looks so comfy, I hope it keeps you warm
Apparently Jin is a very good looking guy thats why talent companies approached him... his face is a talent itself 😂
world wide handsome indeed!
Jungkook never fails to remind us that the reason he joined BigHit was because he wanted to work with RM. The og fanboy, lol.
I love how you start this off like Mr. Rogers…💕😉
Haha was about to come to the comments and say this!!! 🤣
Me too! It made me so happy.
The cup should be a 'Friends' reference, I believe, about when Monica & Chandler thought nobody knew they were seeing each other, right?
Yup and Phoebe and Rachel found out then looped poor Joey in 🤣🤣🤣
Jin has classically handsome features and really nice body proportion (narrow waist, long legs, wide shoulders) according to Korea's strict beauty standards. For example, the clips you saw of him at college were filmed by girls who thought he was handsome. He wasn't famous then. Tourists would even randomly ask him to take pictures with them. His looks are what got him approached
It's kind of like how Rock Hudson was cast back in the day when a producer said "Even if he can't act at all he'll be nice scenery. People were willing to take a chance on him because if he could sing at all and looked like that they'd have a star. Luckily Jin is a super hard worker and ended up having a lot of natural talent.
5:06 as someone who has listened to kpop since the 90s, that's the best quality you will get from very old kpop music videos on youtube hahahahah
I was like ??? LOL
Speak your truth.
Sir, YOU SPOKE MY TRUTH 😭
I'm not good with words. I've been crying for hours now. And my brother who's the only one aware of my anxiety struggles is confused why watching you made me bawl.
We watched this video again and saw him cry too.
I know for sure that a lot of fellow "couchers" are nodding and crying while listening to you.
As BTS are our happy pill, you are also my happy pill.
Thank you Sir. Much love!!!!
I did not dare not to write under the last video, my story of falling into this rabbit hole ... Having now received a notification about your new video, I hurried to watch. But part of my story is ..when I met bts, I was completely alone, there is absolutely no one in my environment who would share my admiration for the guys with me... the first six months I was alone, I explored all the content step by step.. but I had no one to be with share my delight .. but now you help me relive the moments of acquaintance, with your eyes I can relive everything again, thank you!
Get comfortable, my friend!! It’s going to be a LOOOONG ride!!!
Just starting this video, and I relate so much to your conundrum/the difficulty of introducing BTS to those who aren't in the know and those who are in that (almost default) position where they're ready to dismiss or ridicule a "boy band"... and the impossibility of expressing how BTS is not just any old boy band, and not even just a darn good boy band. They are a phenomenon - they have this ability to get to our hearts and souls (and funny bones).
I was reading the hundreds of comments on the 'tell me your BTS story" video and it was just an incredible collection of personal experiences. It's so touching to hear how these 7 young men have impacted so many of us directly. I don't think even BTS themselves realize the extent of it.
I will say that so many of us never even expected to fall for a music group, let alone one from S. Korea featuring 7 equally charismatic members. And unless you've fallen for them, you just won't get it - and it'll strike you as ridiculous (I probably felt that way before BTS found me!) But here we are, and I feel proud and actually blessed to love and admire and respect them. Anyway, don't worry - soon enough, you'll be able to recognize each one just from the back of their heads, or their shadow or a part of their hands (not 100% success rate but we make pretty good educated guesses, lol).
Also, can't wait until you get to their B-sides and other tracks (like House of Cards, 134340, Rain [from the Dark & Wild album], The Truth Untold, Don't Leave Me - which is one of their Japanese-only songs, meaning there's no Korean version, but it has this line "I want to know everything" which is exactly what you said at the end of this video, haha). I love their main title tracks but it's their B-sides (and solo work) that really showcase the diversity in style and genre - and each member is just so darn unique, it's pretty incredible they're all in one group. Hard to deny that destiny brought them together and created this phenom.
The one where they sat on the chairs is 'Just One Day' and it's good, but my favorite is the dance practice. V especially was entertaining. 💜
I love how genuine this guy is man
Yeah, he seems like a pretty cool cat. He's no BTS, but I dig him. 😉
Singing their songs in Japanese it's something very common in kpop not just (bts) but other groups and idols also have songs and albums with Japanese version and yes they sing all the lyrics in Japanese
They’re my serotonin. When I’m down or sad, I watch they’re videos and listen to their music and I’m happy again. Even the hubby knows it. When I’m about to spiral down, he makes me take a break, sits down with me, and turns on BTS. Our regular “home happy hour” is him making cocktail drinks and bar food at home - and watchubg Bon Voyage, In the Soop, or Run BTS. It’s not even me starting it, it’s him now. Him need to watch the boys - who are fun to watch and don’t have drama. Makes my hubby miss his old friends. They’re his comfort couch 🛋. 😊
It sounds like Hubby is amazing. You two take care of each other. Sending Love your way. ❤️
@@ThisRoscoe sending warm hugs to you and your family, too!
Jin was approached because he is goodlooking, tall, broad shouldered. He is the visual of the group.
Bang Shi-Hyuk is called Hitman Bang because he made his name in the industry for a hit maker, he was the master of writing/producing ballads.
The song you mentioned was the jingle on the website for the debut.
In order to sell well in Japan as a foreign group, you either have to sing in English or Japanese. Period. A lot of Korean bands learn Japanese and release Japanese versions of their songs. The Japanese versions (and original) songs of BTS hit differently, they are good and all can even converse casually in Japanese. So they even had Billboard early 2020 with three songs in three different languages, English, Korean and Japanese - Dynamite, Life Goes On and Film Out. a song for an OST of a Japanese remake of a Korean series) .
Haha I'm the same way with the addictive personality... I also sunk many many hours of my life into WoW lol. I was a guild leader back in vanilla & then again when classic came out. My husband was a mage and I was a priest. Not counting all my alts! Now I focus that energy on BTS & kpop. Were you horde or alliance and what class & race? You're def one of my favorite reactors. You're genuine & I love your enthusiasm. When you were like "I was trying to tell my friend about them but I couldn't just say 7 members s Koran boy band" all ARMYs can relate to that! Keep up the good work!
💜 Borahae 💜
Another good series to watch is called The Rise of Bangtan. It's created by a channel of the same name, and it currently has 19 or 20 episodes so far. The person who creates it actually went to school to be a video editor, so these videos are top notch quality. They go further in depth of the boys, including old video logs from before debut and after, behind the scenes footage, little fun fact/info cards on the side to explain things, and more. And each "chapter" of the series is named after a song that BTS have made. I believe the title of the series is actually a nod to their song "Attack on Bangtan" from O!RUL8,2?
I love "The Rise of Bangtan". Such a good series!
The stars were definitely aligned to give us BTS!
Jin will forever be my bias! World-Wide-Handsome! He is just the embodiment of how far you can go if you just put your time, energy and mind into any task, hobby or job you want to pursue!
It has been a while since i saw a real, genuine someone who wants to learn and love the boys. Until i saw ur reactions. Love how genuine you are. And you remind me alot of John Cena who also loveeeeees bts. Keep doing great,man! Purple you!
Purple you back, Fairuza!
from what i’ve seen of the series, Warren G was one of the few celebrities on that series who was genuinely very nice to the boys! he even produced one of RM’s songs on his solo album
Bang admitted later that he was afraid to show because he was afraid a bigger company would steal him away. When I watch the older videos, baby bangtan, I look at them and the innocence floors me. They had no idea what lay ahead.
That, in and of itself, is fascinating. Mind-blowing.
I love how you're an instant ARMY. I'm so so excited to see your journey and be along for the ride. You are going to LOVE this rabbit hole. There is SO much different content to take in and fall in love with these guys.
I am SO happy, Val. SO HAPPY.
@@ThisRoscoe You really would be hard pressed to find a better thing to become obsessed with IMO.
War of hormone is one of my absolut favorite songs!!!! I love it...it is honest!
It's a shame all the hate they got for it. I understand the criticism it got, but to me the song is not that bad. But of course I'm used to songs from the west where the lyrics about women are a lot worse.
@@crystalsnow1138 I agree...this song is just painting a picture of male teenagers life and "tortures" they are going through!
@@crystalsnow1138 Agreed I like the song a lot and the lyrics aren’t bad. Just that the way it is translated can make it confusing a little…
Bts finds u when u need them most .. well said💜
RM is fluent in Japanese. They released 4 japanese albums where they all sing in Japanese. Actually a lot of Kpop groups release Japanese albums and include japanese original songs but also some songs from their Korean albums. Japans music industry is actually pretty big. BTS is a third gen group but a lot of 2nd kpop idols speak fluent Japanese
Jin the 4th member was chosen because of his visuals .. perfect face, body, height etc. being the most good-looking member of the group whose main role is to bring public attention to the group. At present, considering their individual talent and personality alone, attracting the public is just a natural thing for BTS
Roscoe, I love BTS so much, they are all humble and down to earth person💜💜💜
I see that! They are out of this world.
You are correct. Everything is symbolic. And all the changes are a journey. These are some of the things that others don't understand at all
As a mother, it's like watching my kids grow and succeed.
That makes PERFECT sense. We grow. We evolve.
I just love how excited you are about discovering BTS. You bring me so much joy! :)
So happy this is the case, Karolina... makes all of this so much better that we can enjoy it together.
Oh THE SMILE you put on when you see Namjoon on screen! 💜 Ooooh I love it! And I can relate so much! 💜
I'm laughing so hard because I was literally watching this updated video, finished it, refreshed my page and this reaction popped up! Guess I'm watching it again with you now.
OMG Krystara You are too much! I hope I don't disappoint. ❤️
@@ThisRoscoe Nope - not disappointed at all! 💜💜Made my dinner and watched with you from my couch. You ask such good questions and I see Armys have been answering below. But yes, Jin was literally scouted off the street because of how beautiful he is - luckily he is also a fabulous singer and dancer as well and he's worked incredibly hard to get where he is now.
Joey Tribbiani said the quote on the mug!!! 🤣
You're so close!! Joey was there, but Phoebe said it! My favorite show!!
Just started and the mug is something from FRIENDS....did you already get to the fact that RM learned English from that show?
BINGO!!!
Ull be amazed by The Rise Of Bangtan it will show there the sequence of their songs released💜 Even the song that catch ur attention💜
With JIN, Bighit knew he had zero experience. They just saw potential in what they saw as a SMFer. The rest is history.
Jin stood out because of his looks to start with… but he had undiscovered talents which were discovered when he started training...
Japan is the 2nd largest music market in the world after the US and is one of the major kpop consumers, so most Korean artists make Japanese versions of their songs and release original tracks in Japanese, as well as create unique content for the audience in Japan only. It's worth it business wise😉
I'm glad that your channel continued to grow and didn't stop at the number of subscribers or i would not have found you and joined 💜
Welcome Rebecca!
It's 4:22 right now in my country. I wake up early in the mornings, do a little bit of stretching (I am lazy to work out) and start the day. I may be damn emotional but the "Hey buddy"s with the cup in the beginning made tears come to my eyes no lies. Now let the day begin☀️💜
Hey buddy! I hope you have a wonderful day today. 💜
“I want to KNOW EVERYTHING”! WELCOME TO ARMY!
I Love, love, love the Warren G version, because as a woman of color, it was the first time seeing women who were not Korean, in a k-Pop video. It was done without all the big production, done as rookies making their own video.
Friends!!!!! OMG RM/Namjoon learned english by watching friends!
Yesssssss!!!!!!!
OMG, you are getting so good with the names!! 🤩 I was cheering you on every time you were trying to put faces to names/stage names.
13:45 - Talent scouts from entertainment companies scout for potential trainees everywhere in South Korea (streets, shopping malls, high schools) along with talent competitions. This is very normalized, especially in metropolis areas. " *The Rise of Bangtan* " covers this in episode 1 (here's the link just in case ruclips.net/video/QxAmkAwIEeY/видео.html ) 😊😊
21:00 - That was their Intro song to their debut album "2Kool4Skool". Fun fact: that beginning was once again used in J-Hope's solo song "Outro: Ego" from their "Map of The Soul: 7" album (that came out in 2020).
27:00 - I 100% agree! 💜 I'm so glad you feel this way~
28:00 - 1st, there are no dumb questions. This is a safe space, ask away! 2nd: Because Japan is K-Pop's biggest market, entertainment companies feel inclined to cater to the demands of that market. Thus, K-pop groups creating Japanese versions of their albums is rather commonplace.
32:07 - I can 100% relate to that feeling! Getting to go home so that I can watch Bangtan was the thing that kept me motivated throughout the day.
35:30 - Yep, one-take, no cuts. Also, yes, camera director was a total beast for that day of filming. AND THEY DID IT ALL WHILST A STORM WAS BREWING ALL AROUND THEM! 😭😭 such professionalism! I highly recommend that when you do watch "Save Me" MV to watch it accompanied by the Behind the Scenes to watch the making of it. (here's the link to the Bangtan Sub's version of the video with subtitles ruclips.net/video/PebgoCokVcI/видео.html )
Thank you so much for this first half, I am so excited to watch the rest!! Keep up the amazingness! See you in the next one~ 💜
Roscoe: "6 minutes in, and it's already a documentary."
You betcha! 👍😄
I totally relate to what you said from 41:20 onward... i also want to know everything about them. Watching BTS Run, Bon Voyage, In the Soop, and Bangtan Bombs has become a pill for me... and i loved them even more with each passing day.
Brenda, I cracked up when I read your first sentence... for some reason I was thinking 41:20 was when the video ENDED. HAHA!
My 74 year old mother is addicted to Kdramas and she got me hooked after visiting her last summer. One drama I watched mentioned BTS. I don’t watch TV, so basically live under a rock 🤣. So the mention of BTS got me looking it up on my phone and I landed on this BTS documentary! I think I watched it with no BTS context and again a month or so later after listening. I was IMPRESSED by this video alone and slowly started listening to their music, learned their names, and began my own BTS journey. Just a couple of days ago I noticed all these first time reactions on RUclips and I found out I really enjoy watching other people join the family as you call it. I’m really enjoying this deep dive that Roscoe is doing and I’m so happy to find a spot on the comfy couch! This is so fun. Thank you!😊
