i really appreciate how you are viewing bts as actual artists and not just a phenomenon - the way you are interacting with the music is something that is very rare with other react channels and i am so excited to see you go through their other music and messages!!
I CANNOT WAIT FOR YOU TO GET TO INDIGO. If you’re so amazed by the tie into other arts. Just wait! I hope that you consider reacting to some of RM’s post-indigo interviews after hearing the album, like the album breakdown with Zach Sang and the album magazine film. He really takes amazing inspiration from other authors, poets, painters, artists and so eloquently puts his interpretations into art in the form of lyrics. He is truly one of the most amazing human beings on the planet. His mind is out of this world! So excited for RM week 💜
I would highly reccomend the "Album magazine film" on the bangatantv channel. Among other things, i love the fact that many people that partecipated in the album are 'interviews' there.
Tribe Loui... you were born to be an army. Your thought stream and curiosity matches perfectly with ours.. this is how we feel like... after a dive into their lyrics suddenly we find ourselves reading Carl Jung and looking at art pieces of all periods and reading philosophy and then we're like wait wait WAIT!! How did we get here??!! Relate bro!!!
Passive aggressive Namjoon is one of my favorite genres. You’re absolutely right, he is unfailingly polite, but if you know him at all, you can 100% tell when he is telling someone they’re an idiot, without saying the words. My petty side just gets a kick out of it, but on a deeper level, in my opinion this is one of the ways that BTS refuses to be stripped of all sense of normalcy and their humanity. In an industry in which they are treated like commodities, I feel like the subtext of his attitude is that they are real people who have thoughts, feelings, and ideas, and he refuses to let them be reduced to objects. 💜💜
Oh you explained this perfectly, just perfectly. They have worked so hard to be endlessly gracious and polite despite continuously being dehumanized, belittled and stereotyped. At this point Namjoon and Yoongi have actually made a couple of small comments here and there referring to the way they're treated by the media. It must be exhausting to deal with but they're class acts and just continue to rise above, subtly showing up the attitudes of these journalists by simply maintaining their dignity, allowing themselves to laugh at the situation when needed, and bringing the conversation back down to earth whenever possible.
The plagiarism question was one of innumerable such charges, and in not ONE case was it true, and every single legal case was thrown out. In this instance it had to do with a French artist whose works consisted of miniature scenes, and in this case focused on his claim that a video from Wings era stole the concept of his piece set in a similar manner: of a sit down meal outdoors. Again, the number of such baseless cases is staggering, and not one of them stuck, but the endless nuisance and hits to their reputation were very stressful
It's true there were many completely ridiculous 'plagiarism' claims over things like hair colour, school uniforms, running through a field, sitting at a table outside etc. However for full transparency it's important to acknowledge there was one incident which was legit - HOWEVER it totally makes sense once you understand the context, and it's been dealt with already. To explain further, there was a line in one of RM's songs (I can't remember which tbh, but I think it was either in 2014 or 2015) which someone noticed was the same as a line by another writer. Instead of asking Namjoon about it and giving him a chance to explain they went to the media and tried to blow it up into a 'scandal'. Namjoon responded and apologised, he explained that when he was writing that song he was going through his old notebooks from when he was a teenager, where he used to write down all kinds of weird things that came into his head. He usually only wrote his own thoughts in there, but at some point he must have noted down this other writer's phrase while he was reading, and then over the years had forgotten that he didn't write it himself. He said when he saw the claims he realised what must have happened and he was very embarrassed about it. He apologised profusely and said he would be much more careful in the future. Then the original author spoke up, saying that kind of mistake just happens sometimes, but thanked him for the apology anyway and wished him luck with his music. So yes, there technically was an incident of 'plagiarism' which antis like to bring up endlessly, but it was literally as harmless as you can get, he apologised, and nothing like that ever happened again.
it was super hard to endure all the interviews the guys had when they first started entering the American market, the interviewers never knew anything about their music or them as a group, and asked the same questions all the time (literally, the collab question was asked like 100 times) after a while, I feel like the guys got so bored of the nonsense that then they started joking around and taking almost nothing seriously so they could endure it and make the moment less awkward. can't blame them for that, It was so rare that there were decent interviews, that when they came from time to time, we celebrated as if it was an event, that's how bad it was at the time.
Oh, I hope your journey somehow takes you to Jimin and RM's long philosophical conversations and best-friend moments too😅....they call themselves "Minimoni" and they're beloved for a reason...such a hilarious dynamic, because not only does RM like to scold Jimin,but Jimin makes a habit of scolding RM all the time but they're also surprisingly similar in aspirations, character and mentality...they have great discussions, one of my all time favorite lives was minimoni talking for like 2 hours straight about art like it was a some freaking podcast, great stuff
@@Funtan_Sonyeondan i think op was referring to their 2019 live? it was titled MiniMoni and it's that live where namjoon thought he spoiled something about bts world but then they found out that's it was already revealed. they talk about museum it that live as well
@@outrolars yeah, that's the one I meant, I tried searching for a link but couldn't find one...rm is in a white t-shirt and jimin in a stripey orange-ish shirt and RM swings around the drawstring of his sweatpants at some point 😅
BTS used to do a lot of american interviews and you're definitely right - soooo many of them are weird, disrespectful, not even paying attention to their art but just want the clout. namjoon protected the guys from a lot of disrespectful questions by translating them in a softer way. he's a true leader fr
God, as much as I can't wait for BTS to be done with military service to release new albums, I am NOT looking forward to the stupid ass American interviews again, AND I'M AMERICAN! None of the interviewers ask anything remotely relevant to their music or lyrics.
Dude....haven't even started the video, but I have been looking forward to your reaction ALL DAY. The way you review music and go on these tangents.... watching shows and videos one after the other unplanned, just going off of feeling.... I really vibe with that. I do that on my own... watching BTS content endlessly.... but now, through your channel, I get to watch it like I'm watching it with a friend. It's really great. That and the documentaries that you react to... you're my kind of people. I'm glad the YT algorithm worked favorably, for once. 💜💜
"Journalists...they just be asking the dumbest questions". 💯 You should see some of the questions they've gotten. Especially around their success in the Billboard charts. But RM always handles it perfectly.
Seriously I love how you digest the music and give us your favorite lyrics and a breakdown of what you got from his lyrics. It really shows how much of a music lover you are, much appreciated thanks man
Lemme tell you lmao getting into BTS had me reading books and poems learning about Carl Jung 😂 and they do it in a way that doesn’t make you feel stupid it just piques your interest then you’re blown away once you understand the context. Can’t wait for you to get into more of Joonies work his pen is untouchable
you will be shocked to see the difference in mono and indigo now he is very versatile he loves poetry , he loves raps and he isn't bound in just one genre BTS was created by taking inspiration from him
One of the things that made me love RM ('Namjoon' to us ARMYs) is how introspective he is without losing his sympathy and humanity. You can see how he grew and mature - both as an artist and a human -through his music and lyricism. During his Indigo album promotions, he mentioned he was a poet first before anything else. He really is one of the best lyricists of our time. 💜
One of the funniest videos is Rm being done with bts. And Namjoon being god of destruction. Btw a video I know u will love is: the S in Bts stands for spoilers (mostly Namjoon)
Yee, his first mixtape 'RM' is fcking incredible but terribly underrated 😭 Namjoon is one of my favorite soloists ever. I love his voice, hir rap and THE LYRICS. This man is really a poet and makes you think a lot and touch your soul. His songs usually have a lot of wordplays and references. So, I recommend you to read the translated lyrics in a web call doolset. Armys usually read and analyze BTS' and the member's solo songs there since include the necessary explanations! His playlist/mixtape 'Mono' is one of my all time favorite projects. Like I relate A LOT to his songs and gave me so much strength and comfort when I went though a hard time in 2018 and every time I feel bad, sad, stress or something, I listen to Mono and I just vent those feeling. That Mixtape is like therapy. It's like a journey with each song and I always end up crying and letting out the strong emotions during 2 specific songs and at the end I feel calm. His album 'Indigo' is incredible and so diverse, I love the production of each song so much and has a lot of collabs. Even if I usually listen to albums in order, I have to say that with this one I kind of play different songs more depending o my mood. It's a great album. Oh I can't wait to watch your reaction to his discography! 💜
you gotta see namjoon's softer side too, he's so goofy when he's not on leader mode. and check his interview with Pharrell Williams!! you're gonna love it
Namjoon: please use me, please use BTS to love yourself 💜 RM is the main reason for what BTS is today, BTS is unique because of their lyrics and RM has writing credits for almost every BTS song
RM is a wonderful leader (one of the best ever in my opinion). It is crazy because he isn't the oldest or the second oldest, because age plays a huge deal in Korean culture and society and the age you are plays a huge rule how others talk to you (Oldest to Youngest: Jin, Suga, Jhope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook). He was the first member picked not just because of rapping ability but also because of his personality and everything. RM is amazing at pushing his members to be their best but not trying to be in the spotlight. RM inspires all the members to be their best and try their best. RM has truly tried to help and understand each member, so he knows how to help them. Not only that but he is someone that all the members know they can rely on with music and with advice. I could keep on going but RM is one of the best leaders ever and has so much pressure on him because he is the leader of the biggest group in the world. Many people will say that other members of BTS are the most hated but honestly, I truly believe RM is one of the most hated because he is the leader, what he has openly supported, mistakes he has made in the past, etc.
Hybe labels don't seem to want the oldest to be the leader these days, which I think is good - it creates some balance. I was still pretty surprised at Enhypen though, Jungwon is so young! They do have a process to determine the best leader, but I saw a joke that said it's just whichever member has dimples and they may have a point 🤣
@@evantesseract737 I personally think that it mostly started with BTS then other groups were influenced so they started doing it. So, I would say Bighit started it, or maybe not started, but had the biggest influences and the other subsidiaries started it. It isn't hybe that decides these things. It is the subsidiaries. Hybe only oversees and gives money pretty much. All the plans for everything else (promo/creating groups/music/etc) is done by the subsidiary companies. Hopefully this makes sense. I think it is important to start making sure we are talking about the right thing because a lot of people group all groups under Hybe as if they are in the same company and have the same "rules" but it isn't really like that. (i mean no hate). However, it is true they do have a bias towards dimples lol.
@@AJP.OT7 I wasn't careful with my words, you're right! They all have different ways of choosing a leader. And it can vary group by group, too. There are some similarities across HYBE labels that I assume are at least partially structural - access to the same staff, shared training programs. But the labels have their own flavors... I'm pretty interested in ADOR. They want to shake things up. 😁
@@evantesseract737 I personally don't pay attention to companies a lot just Bighit (BTS) really but as for groups NewJeans I think really stick out and have great potential. I really like a few of their songs and I do find their concept refreshing but besides that I don't really know much about ADOR. However, I have heard rumors that their director is kind of creepy and tries to take all the credit about the girls, which is kind of unfortunate, but we will see what happens. They are too new to really say much, but NewJean do have a few songs I really like.
Just want to thank you for how genuine you are and the happiness that you share with us; and I hope you have a very nice day. I'm happy to be here for your BTS journey 💜☺️ BTW- idk if you know but when you see the animal emojis to describe which member is speaking, they correlate to: RM/Namjoon: 🐨 Jin: 🐹 Suga/Yoongi: 🐱 Hobi: 🐿 Jimin: 🐥 V/ Tae: 🦁🐯🐻 (the Tae one has been almost a full on war/debate lmao it's always among those^ especially tiger & bear) JK: 🐰 ++ Also, yeah literally almost all interviewers are downright awkward and uncaring about BTS. They never research to ask good questions, just taking BTS at face value & exaggerating their reactions while calling ARMYs rabid and obsessed. The best interviewers were: - Liam McEwan from J-14 - Zach Sang from Zach Sang show (although he has some shady ppl working there) - Jimmy (from The Tonight Show) - Stokes & Friends (these are very old interviews of when BTS was starting to come out into the US as more mainstream in 2017) - BTS on BBC Radio wth Adele Roberts. 2017 & 2019. She was very nice to them even before they became mainstream in the west. Ngl Liam & Jimmy are my personal favorites. They're the ones who truly make BTS laugh & be comfortable enough to be crackheads on their shows. As well as doing interesting questions and giving them surprises. You can even tell on BTS' faces how happy they get when they meet.
Roxane thank you for the kind words and helpful BTS knowledge Lmaoo I sure ash needed those animal correlations😭😭 And yeah I noticed that Very weird how they’re treating a group that has this much support like that I love the dynamic between Jimmy and the BTS group fr 😭 so damn funny
@@WhatDoISay7 really?? My first language isn't english and tbh I haven’t seen it in a while. I'll take her name out but could you please tell me what backhanded compliments she gave BTS??
@@Rox7ne We both r from India n I felt really happy to come across her interview bcoz that was one of the couple of times Indian media interviewed tannies. I became ARMY in fall 2021 so this Interview was telecasted long before I came to know abt BTS n I stumbled upon this as part of BTS rabbit hole. The first time I watched it I was impressed by the way the interview was. I liked the way she interviewed them fanchant wise n asked everyone a question instead of throwing questions at them as a group. The second time I watched it was when I noticed few things- she kept on asking the same question abt depression more than once. Suga answered her in the first question itself but she repeated herself which I found odd. Then the question to Jin felt a little bit off. Trust me the first time I watched it I liked that conversation bt only the second time I realised it was Jin's answer that impressed me. He answered that question beautifully - one of my fav traits of Jin btw. Later I noticed the way it was edited to make that V was flirting with her- it is not her mistake, Indian media does it. Months later I came across a tweet where the discussion was abt how this Interview was nt good. Apart from the points I noticed, there were a lot of things that happened. Apparently there was a live of her where she said something along the lines of Maknae shared some secret with her n she apparently used tannies crying as gifs even after ARMYs repeatedly told her not to. There r few more things that I don't remember. But her interview is much much better than western media interviews n she told the boys that they make the world a better place n she wishes they get the love back multipled by 1000 times. That was a lovely thing to say. This one sentence is enough for me to forgive her but I will not hype her anymore.
You are one of the best reactors out there! I wait for your reactions to drop everyday! I love that you appreciate the boys as artists and appreciate their art and them as human beings! We as Army really appreciate it!! 💜 You are in for a treat with Mono and Indigo! Please watch RM's explanation videos of his albums!
Yes, please do this. It adds more to the experience to hear him personally talk about the album. Although he always says that once it's out, it's up to the audience to interpret and perceive it but it's still nice to hear his thoughts behind/about the songs.
You are very intelligent yourself sir. One of your most impressive features is your curiosity. I have a perpetual, internal rant about people wondering something and moving on perfectly content not knowing. Mind you they are either in front of a computer or have a smartphone in their hands. Self-imposed ignorance drives me nuts. You seem always willing to explore & learn. That alone earns my respect, but it is also very endearing! 💜 Can't wait for you to get to INDIGO!
Because Namjoon is the only one fluent in English, he understood all the message even the hate thrown to the team and he took it all to himself, not translating those hate to the guys to protect them.
I LOVE your analysis and thoughts. My favorite part of BTS is all the research and self reflection it leads me to do. In a sense, I’m putting in the work of building myself into a more reflective person because of the lyrics in their songs.
Namjoon is such a charismatic person, he's the the most intelligent person in most rooms but he never makes you feel it and just supports everyone. Unless you insult his team and piss him off and then it's on sight 🤣
U are genuinely becoming the first person I'm waking up to every morning as ur upload schedule matches with my mrng schedule and I'm loving it..... I love seeing u become a genuine army and enjoy every second of it💜💜💜💜
The fact that you're going really deep into his lyrics, I feel like you gonna watch all movies and read all books once you reach the group songs that are inspired by such content 😂👌🏻👌🏻👀, I love that you're trying to understand rm through his lyrics, he's a poet and a very smart artist, I really like the way you wrote your review, you're good at writing honestly. You are really taking the time and is much appreciated. You're officially my favorite reactor, you also add a lot of humor and give us a lot of content, dude once I start getting an extra payment for gigs, imma text u and you gotta give me some link where I can donate to you cuz you deserve it, I never do this but I'm sure if you have a Patreon with exclusive content I would pay for it 👀👌🏻💜💜
Loved your deep dive into the album. They way you take time to examine the music and lyrics. Shows a genuine love for music and respect for the band and not just mindless yelling and screaming 😅... One week won't be enough lol... RM has so many layers... All of his interviews the BE ones and the ones with Pharrel (Rolling stone) and Zach Sang to understand his creative process lol. But I think you can do a part 2 with rapline interviews to understand each of their creative processes and recurring themes and styles if you would like. Each of them brings something different. I won't tell you too much, you'll have fun discovering that yourself. RM is the Poet Philosopher - I don't want to say much, will leave it for you to discover...😊 Suga's a Rap- Producer who does a few signature things so his production and lyrics tell a combined story. His adlibs often emphasize the lyrics creating a total experience. J-Hope's dance background and love for lore and literature, unexpected melodies... You'll find a lot in his music and artistry. He likes world-building. I'm trying not to leak out too much. 😅 But consider the bg of these artists, it really informs their writing so beautifully :)
I had literally given up checking for a new upload and decided to go to bed, but I still wanted to watch a video from you so I came to look for your Jin reaction you mentioned and saw this one!!💜 Thank you so much for these reactions, they literally make my day better! These past couple of years the guys have gotten more comfortable being theirselves in interviews, especially the US ones. I love when they show their sassy sides lol! Though I miss seeing them as a group, so far this chapter 2 of their careers has been amazing for their growth as indiviuals.
Loving how you're picking up on their actual personalities/dynamics - the channel you're using is a good one for trying to show true representations of the guys. For some context, that interviewer was indeed trying to start crap on plagiarism. You'll discover for yourself the insane hate campaign against BTS by other k-pop fans - WINGS, one of their albums, literally had a campaign against it called Break Wings Project (and, yes, BTS knew of it). None of the claims are true, but the hate definitely did damage, and it's one of the reasons Bangtan says "we only have ARMY". And yep, Yoongi and Namjoon are the ones who pick up on the shade and react, but the rest of the group is as fiercely protective. Namjoon's talked several times about how he finds Yoongi a source of reassurance in press junkets and he's said "Without [you], this...journey would have been very tough", and Jungkook described them as: "Namjoon-hyung leads from the front, Suga-hyung leads from the back." To many of us, they're the twin pillars. One of Bangtan's greatest strengths is they're really all for one, one for all; they've worked very hard to build on their natural chemistry and it's resulted in this wonderful, rare cohesion. Anyway, thanks for being genuine and wanting to know the reality beyond the phenomenon :)
not gonna lie, your videos are the best part of my day. it really didn't feel like 37 minutes, time went too fast haha thanks for brightening my day, sending you much love
This was a very insightful review of the album. I really appreciated your own personal views, especially about the shards of divinity within each person. I think you understood RM's words and meaning very well. He's a poet through and through. Like others in the comments, I really look forward to seeing your reaction to "Indigo". As far as RM's leadership is concerned, he's the best there is. He's an excellent leader and example for his boys, and nobody else would be as patient as he is having to try to herd these chaos gremlins into something resembling order. It's not an easy task, but he handles it beautifully. I respect him so much.
Here’s some videos to add to your list of funny compilations (mostly sugarmyy)!😁 RM destroying literally everything (god of destruction) - ruclips.net/video/YsOeAdonYk0/видео.html Bts praising & appreciating namjoon for his leadership- ruclips.net/video/iDtNRA5Kr0w/видео.html JK is RM’s biggest fanboy and it’s adorable- ruclips.net/video/GbcRX7IKH5A/видео.html RM and his 3 annoying kids (maknae line)- ruclips.net/video/J340AyFFh-0/видео.html Bts stands for spoilers, mostly namjoon- ruclips.net/video/cUEWeZ3l-kA/видео.html A (slightly chaotic but also endearing) reminder that namjoon is the maknae of the Hyung line- ruclips.net/video/iDtNRA5Kr0w/видео.html
Just a side note on that one journalist that tried to accuse them of plagiarism: it later came out that they were affiliated with another entertainment agency, and so likely was paid to infiltrate the press meeting and stir up drama lol. Love your reactions !! 💜
You are the best BTS reactor out there (should I say BTS analyzer?) Thank you for giving us your honest thoughts on their music. I guarantee you, their songs only get better as you listen multiple times. You nice, keep going 😅
WOW! You went and read the French poem? Congratulations! Love that. 💜 We came to know so much through their lyrics. Namjoon always suggests books to ARMYs to read. Waiting for the other mixtape reaction. *Mono* and *Indigo* his latest album. Please stay genuine and honest like this.
I’ve really been enjoying watching your journey. You bring a solid and fun dose of chaos and your intelligence really shines through. The way you break down and connect with the lyrics that you’ve seen so far makes me certain that you are going to LOVE this rabbit hole.
i love you for going back to listen to the songs again thats like hardly ever done by any reactor. usually reactors are 1 song done and never mention it again like they do the bare minimum. but YOU my brother i love your review of RM. you completely got RMs vibe as an artist. He's an analyzer. He sees, he questions, he doesn't just accept. We had this saying about the BTS rappers: RM analyzes the world SUGA criticises the world j-hope visualizes the world keep going!! im so excited for your bts journey!!!
I'm happy you actually read the lyrics I say this to EVERYONE when I try to get them into BTS. I just sigh in the end cause they really don't get it. Joonie is something special I love that man I love all of them but he was the one that pulled me into checking out the group more.
i once read a comment that says, bts are for intelligent people...😂 maybe that is true, they did made me read a whole lot of books..😅 no other artist made me interested in social and psychological matters...😁
You are one of the most genuine reactors I’ve seen on here in a while and I greatly appreciate you taking this journey and the route that you’re taking. At first I was like get to group stuff get to group stuff hurry n watch the member guides but I find this way of going through each member individually and giving them real time to truly get to know them is absolutely a breath of fresh air and reminding me of so many memories I have from my own BTS journey 💜
Tribe Loui! You will always be a favorite for me. Your love for music is palpable. I was excited to see you also listened to, “Do you Believe…” which isn’t on the title of your video. So happy that Ren was able to pull himself out of such a dark place and thankful that such beautiful and meaningful music came from all that pain. His music is literally helping save lives…. 💔❤️🩹❤️
Just for more info. We use animal emojis or their initials to represent each members in videos. 🐨 NJ/RM - Namjoon 🐹 J/SJ - SeokJin (Jin) 🐱S/YG - Suga (Yoongi) 🐿️🦄HS/JH - HoSeok (jhope) 🐣🐥JM - Jimin 🐻🐯T/V - Taehyung (V) 🐰JK - Jungkook
I really love how you react to the full albums. Youre so insightful and fun at the same time! After individual members weeks, please please do this for all BTS albums as well. Youre in for a treat! And love it for me too bc it's like falling into the BTS rabbit hole all over again. 💜
They got a ton of plagiarism accusations. Constant. My favorite thing about how they handled that interviewer isn't just that Namjoon made him say it out clearly, or that Yoongi shut him down. As soon as he started, RM knew where he was going and crossed him off the list in front of him. He (and possibly whatever publication he represented) lost his chance to ever interact with BTS again. There are ways to respectfully ask about the issue, but that wasn't one of them.
26:45 I just about cried laughing! You were going on about how you're fluent in sarcasm, but completely missed SugArmyy's sarcasm hahaha. Honestly your reactions make my day
Watching your videos after every busy as heck days makes it feel just like watching something with a friend. I really love all your videos !!! Can't wait for more. 💜
31:32 Right after debut, RM and Suga were invited to this K-hiphop roundtable and they attended in good faith, however, the rappers here, many way older than them, were very condescending and downright misogynistic. They mocked RM and Suga for leaving the underground scene to become Kpop idols because they thought it was "the easy way out." RM responded that training to be an idol was not that easy and not anyone can do it. He mentioned one guy here even auditioned for the same company as him. Suga said, respectfully, he didn't think he's changed that much - he still wrote his own bars and the difference was that he had an audience to listen to what he had to say (as opposed to how he'd sold his songs, got scammed, got his songs stolen and didn't earn a dime before). The dudes at the roundtable responded with toxic masculinity - ridiculing them for having predominantly female fans, calling them girls for wearing stage makeup, and declaring that hiphop culture was about being macho. 🤡
honestly? going down the route of getting big in america by doing promo, interviews, radio etc etc was one hell of a risky move considering namjoon was the only one who spoke english fluently. it could’ve been a disaster seeing how those interviewers clearly didn’t do any research and asked irrelevant questions trying to stir any drama for views but namjoon was the one at the forefront who navigated their way through. namjoon’s interview with pharrell is such a breath of fresh air compared to the horrible interviews they had to endure especially during the earlier years. once you hear his dry “ha ha ha”, you know just how fed up he is and rightfully so. he doesn’t take anyone’s shit and i freakin love that. p.s when you check out indigo, please watch his magazine film that explains more into his album!! its definitely worth it 💯💯
He can tell by his silhouet?!? They can all tell blindfolded by ear, smell, breathing. I think they did it on one of their shows. But there are clips of it. Really impressive 🤯🤯👌👌💜💜
Im having a bad day today, had two lectures canceled so 4h in total with nothing to do eh but I watched your video and it helped me boost my mood, thank you 🌸
34:09 yess, american interviewers have the worst questions, there is a big difference when you see them in americans interviews with the Asian interviews (korean, japanese). Lat year they made a interview with Sakshma Srivastav (from India), she really made her research, she is also a BTS ARMY maybe that's why the interview went really well. Hope you react to that one too. 💜
Idk if you know this but you’re constantly going viral on army twt 😂
It's amazing hahaha
Where do I see these tweets I’m curious 😂 is there a hashtag or account in particular?
@@jelloforbts999 I don’t remember their @ but her name is tam and she had like 2 hit tweets from posting his clips 😭😭
I even found this channel from army twt
This how I found him last week
i really appreciate how you are viewing bts as actual artists and not just a phenomenon - the way you are interacting with the music is something that is very rare with other react channels and i am so excited to see you go through their other music and messages!!
He’s so real for this
i love how he's doing a week long deep dive on each member it's so heartwarming :(
G DRAGON THE KING ,

It must be exhausting to deal with but they're class acts and just continue to rise above, subtly showing up the attitudes of these journalists by simply maintaining their dignity, allowing themselves to laugh at the situation when needed, and bringing the conversation back down to earth whenever possible.
The RM and Pharrell Interview is the best. Definitly something to look into.💜
yes! I recommend the RM x Pharrell interview too!
I recommend it in the last album reaction I hope he sees that interview before listening to indigo. Cuz that was the order it came.
that's a must watch!!!
The plagiarism question was one of innumerable such charges, and in not ONE case was it true, and every single legal case was thrown out. In this instance it had to do with a French artist whose works consisted of miniature scenes, and in this case focused on his claim that a video from Wings era stole the concept of his piece set in a similar manner: of a sit down meal outdoors. Again, the number of such baseless cases is staggering, and not one of them stuck, but the endless nuisance and hits to their reputation were very stressful
It's true there were many completely ridiculous 'plagiarism' claims over things like hair colour, school uniforms, running through a field, sitting at a table outside etc. However for full transparency it's important to acknowledge there was one incident which was legit - HOWEVER it totally makes sense once you understand the context, and it's been dealt with already.
To explain further, there was a line in one of RM's songs (I can't remember which tbh, but I think it was either in 2014 or 2015) which someone noticed was the same as a line by another writer. Instead of asking Namjoon about it and giving him a chance to explain they went to the media and tried to blow it up into a 'scandal'. Namjoon responded and apologised, he explained that when he was writing that song he was going through his old notebooks from when he was a teenager, where he used to write down all kinds of weird things that came into his head. He usually only wrote his own thoughts in there, but at some point he must have noted down this other writer's phrase while he was reading, and then over the years had forgotten that he didn't write it himself. He said when he saw the claims he realised what must have happened and he was very embarrassed about it. He apologised profusely and said he would be much more careful in the future. Then the original author spoke up, saying that kind of mistake just happens sometimes, but thanked him for the apology anyway and wished him luck with his music.
So yes, there technically was an incident of 'plagiarism' which antis like to bring up endlessly, but it was literally as harmless as you can get, he apologised, and nothing like that ever happened again.
it was super hard to endure all the interviews the guys had when they first started entering the American market, the interviewers never knew anything about their music or them as a group, and asked the same questions all the time (literally, the collab question was asked like 100 times) after a while, I feel like the guys got so bored of the nonsense that then they started joking around and taking almost nothing seriously so they could endure it and make the moment less awkward. can't blame them for that, It was so rare that there were decent interviews, that when they came from time to time, we celebrated as if it was an event, that's how bad it was at the time.
Interviews with Zach Sang and Liam McEwan are a breath of fresh air bc the rest are just really full of drivel
@@crim_0613 yes, also one of the recents that I love it's the one with Sakshma Srivastav, she did such a good job in that interview
...and if I'm not mistaken you just named 3 good interviewers who use English, but only 1 of them is American. So American promotions... Ugh.
@@miniconi2493 yeah though the editing of that interview was a bit.. weird, over all it was okay!!
seriously, most of the interviews were so cringey...
Oh, I hope your journey somehow takes you to Jimin and RM's long philosophical conversations and best-friend moments too😅....they call themselves "Minimoni" and they're beloved for a reason...such a hilarious dynamic, because not only does RM like to scold Jimin,but Jimin makes a habit of scolding RM all the time but they're also surprisingly similar in aspirations, character and mentality...they have great discussions, one of my all time favorite lives was minimoni talking for like 2 hours straight about art like it was a some freaking podcast, great stuff
Wait do u know the name of the vlive??
really? what year was that live?
@@Funtan_Sonyeondan i think op was referring to their 2019 live? it was titled MiniMoni and it's that live where namjoon thought he spoiled something about bts world but then they found out that's it was already revealed. they talk about museum it that live as well
@@outrolars oh.. ok2.. thank you. I'll check it our later
@@outrolars yeah, that's the one I meant, I tried searching for a link but couldn't find one...rm is in a white t-shirt and jimin in a stripey orange-ish shirt and RM swings around the drawstring of his sweatpants at some point 😅
namjoon used to translate all the hate comments in english into good ones to bts.
BTS used to do a lot of american interviews and you're definitely right - soooo many of them are weird, disrespectful, not even paying attention to their art but just want the clout. namjoon protected the guys from a lot of disrespectful questions by translating them in a softer way. he's a true leader fr
God, as much as I can't wait for BTS to be done with military service to release new albums, I am NOT looking forward to the stupid ass American interviews again, AND I'M AMERICAN! None of the interviewers ask anything remotely relevant to their music or lyrics.
Dude....haven't even started the video, but I have been looking forward to your reaction ALL DAY. The way you review music and go on these tangents.... watching shows and videos one after the other unplanned, just going off of feeling.... I really vibe with that. I do that on my own... watching BTS content endlessly.... but now, through your channel, I get to watch it like I'm watching it with a friend. It's really great. That and the documentaries that you react to... you're my kind of people. I'm glad the YT algorithm worked favorably, for once. 💜💜
I second this comment!! 💜☺
"Journalists...they just be asking the dumbest questions". 💯
You should see some of the questions they've gotten. Especially around their success in the Billboard charts.
But RM always handles it perfectly.
I like how u are true to yourself, whether it’s your faith in christianity, your music tastes, your channel approach, your commune with the tribe etc
Been refreshing all night. A Tribe Loui video is like my bedtime routine now 😂
Samee Omgggg🤣🤣
He literally makes my day💜
Same!!! I was sad thinking I'd have to go to bed without watch tonight's one, but I did one last check and this was uploaded!💜
same here
I was refreshing waiting lol
Sick hat 💜
Me too loll
Lol sameeeeee
Lmao I don’t think y’all know how much what y’all are saying means to me fr fr 💜🙏
And thank you I stole the hat from my nephews lmao
Seriously I love how you digest the music and give us your favorite lyrics and a breakdown of what you got from his lyrics. It really shows how much of a music lover you are, much appreciated thanks man
the thing is they started from the bottom, never had privilege, went thru so many challenges, so for RM to lead a group to such heights is incredible.
FIRST? 💜 Namjoon really emphasizes the POETRY in RAP
Nah that’s a fact and I love it fr fr 🤯🔥
Lemme tell you lmao getting into BTS had me reading books and poems learning about Carl Jung 😂 and they do it in a way that doesn’t make you feel stupid it just piques your interest then you’re blown away once you understand the context. Can’t wait for you to get into more of Joonies work his pen is untouchable
you will be shocked to see the difference in mono and indigo now
he is very versatile
he loves poetry , he loves raps
and he isn't bound in just one genre
BTS was created by taking inspiration from him
One of the things that made me love RM ('Namjoon' to us ARMYs) is how introspective he is without losing his sympathy and humanity. You can see how he grew and mature - both as an artist and a human -through his music and lyricism. During his Indigo album promotions, he mentioned he was a poet first before anything else. He really is one of the best lyricists of our time. 💜
RM himself would love your content. It’s the best compliment I can pay 💜
“How did I end up here?” That’s all of us. Enjoy the journey.
One of the funniest videos is Rm being done with bts. And Namjoon being god of destruction. Btw a video I know u will love is: the S in Bts stands for spoilers (mostly Namjoon)
Yee, his first mixtape 'RM' is fcking incredible but terribly underrated 😭 Namjoon is one of my favorite soloists ever. I love his voice, hir rap and THE LYRICS. This man is really a poet and makes you think a lot and touch your soul. His songs usually have a lot of wordplays and references. So, I recommend you to read the translated lyrics in a web call doolset. Armys usually read and analyze BTS' and the member's solo songs there since include the necessary explanations!
His playlist/mixtape 'Mono' is one of my all time favorite projects. Like I relate A LOT to his songs and gave me so much strength and comfort when I went though a hard time in 2018 and every time I feel bad, sad, stress or something, I listen to Mono and I just vent those feeling. That Mixtape is like therapy. It's like a journey with each song and I always end up crying and letting out the strong emotions during 2 specific songs and at the end I feel calm. His album 'Indigo' is incredible and so diverse, I love the production of each song so much and has a lot of collabs. Even if I usually listen to albums in order, I have to say that with this one I kind of play different songs more depending o my mood. It's a great album. Oh I can't wait to watch your reaction to his discography! 💜
you gotta see namjoon's softer side too, he's so goofy when he's not on leader mode. and check his interview with Pharrell Williams!! you're gonna love it
Namjoon: please use me, please use BTS to love yourself 💜
RM is the main reason for what BTS is today, BTS is unique because of their lyrics and RM has writing credits for almost every BTS song
RM is a wonderful leader (one of the best ever in my opinion). It is crazy because he isn't the oldest or the second oldest, because age plays a huge deal in Korean culture and society and the age you are plays a huge rule how others talk to you (Oldest to Youngest: Jin, Suga, Jhope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook). He was the first member picked not just because of rapping ability but also because of his personality and everything. RM is amazing at pushing his members to be their best but not trying to be in the spotlight. RM inspires all the members to be their best and try their best. RM has truly tried to help and understand each member, so he knows how to help them. Not only that but he is someone that all the members know they can rely on with music and with advice. I could keep on going but RM is one of the best leaders ever and has so much pressure on him because he is the leader of the biggest group in the world. Many people will say that other members of BTS are the most hated but honestly, I truly believe RM is one of the most hated because he is the leader, what he has openly supported, mistakes he has made in the past, etc.
Hybe labels don't seem to want the oldest to be the leader these days, which I think is good - it creates some balance. I was still pretty surprised at Enhypen though, Jungwon is so young!
They do have a process to determine the best leader, but I saw a joke that said it's just whichever member has dimples and they may have a point 🤣
@@evantesseract737 I personally think that it mostly started with BTS then other groups were influenced so they started doing it. So, I would say Bighit started it, or maybe not started, but had the biggest influences and the other subsidiaries started it. It isn't hybe that decides these things. It is the subsidiaries. Hybe only oversees and gives money pretty much. All the plans for everything else (promo/creating groups/music/etc) is done by the subsidiary companies. Hopefully this makes sense. I think it is important to start making sure we are talking about the right thing because a lot of people group all groups under Hybe as if they are in the same company and have the same "rules" but it isn't really like that. (i mean no hate). However, it is true they do have a bias towards dimples lol.
@@AJP.OT7 I wasn't careful with my words, you're right! They all have different ways of choosing a leader. And it can vary group by group, too.
There are some similarities across HYBE labels that I assume are at least partially structural - access to the same staff, shared training programs. But the labels have their own flavors... I'm pretty interested in ADOR. They want to shake things up. 😁
@@evantesseract737 I personally don't pay attention to companies a lot just Bighit (BTS) really but as for groups NewJeans I think really stick out and have great potential. I really like a few of their songs and I do find their concept refreshing but besides that I don't really know much about ADOR. However, I have heard rumors that their director is kind of creepy and tries to take all the credit about the girls, which is kind of unfortunate, but we will see what happens. They are too new to really say much, but NewJean do have a few songs I really like.
Just want to thank you for how genuine you are and the happiness that you share with us; and I hope you have a very nice day. I'm happy to be here for your BTS journey 💜☺️
BTW- idk if you know but when you see the animal emojis to describe which member is speaking, they correlate to:
RM/Namjoon: 🐨
Jin: 🐹
Suga/Yoongi: 🐱
Hobi: 🐿
Jimin: 🐥
V/ Tae: 🦁🐯🐻 (the Tae one has been almost a full on war/debate lmao it's always among those^ especially tiger & bear)
JK: 🐰
++ Also, yeah literally almost all interviewers are downright awkward and uncaring about BTS. They never research to ask good questions, just taking BTS at face value & exaggerating their reactions while calling ARMYs rabid and obsessed.
The best interviewers were:
- Liam McEwan from J-14
- Zach Sang from Zach Sang show (although he has some shady ppl working there)
- Jimmy (from The Tonight Show)
- Stokes & Friends (these are very old interviews of when BTS was starting to come out into the US as more mainstream in 2017)
- BTS on BBC Radio wth Adele Roberts. 2017 & 2019. She was very nice to them even before they became mainstream in the west.
Ngl Liam & Jimmy are my personal favorites. They're the ones who truly make BTS laugh & be comfortable enough to be crackheads on their shows. As well as doing interesting questions and giving them surprises. You can even tell on BTS' faces how happy they get when they meet.
Roxane thank you for the kind words and helpful BTS knowledge
Lmaoo I sure ash needed those animal correlations😭😭
And yeah I noticed that
Very weird how they’re treating a group that has this much support like that
I love the dynamic between Jimmy and the BTS group fr 😭 so damn funny
Sakshma had some back handed compliments. Let's not recommend that one pls
@@WhatDoISay7 really?? My first language isn't english and tbh I haven’t seen it in a while. I'll take her name out but could you please tell me what backhanded compliments she gave BTS??
@@Rox7ne We both r from India n I felt really happy to come across her interview bcoz that was one of the couple of times Indian media interviewed tannies. I became ARMY in fall 2021 so this Interview was telecasted long before I came to know abt BTS n I stumbled upon this as part of BTS rabbit hole. The first time I watched it I was impressed by the way the interview was. I liked the way she interviewed them fanchant wise n asked everyone a question instead of throwing questions at them as a group. The second time I watched it was when I noticed few things- she kept on asking the same question abt depression more than once. Suga answered her in the first question itself but she repeated herself which I found odd. Then the question to Jin felt a little bit off. Trust me the first time I watched it I liked that conversation bt only the second time I realised it was Jin's answer that impressed me. He answered that question beautifully - one of my fav traits of Jin btw. Later I noticed the way it was edited to make that V was flirting with her- it is not her mistake, Indian media does it. Months later I came across a tweet where the discussion was abt how this Interview was nt good. Apart from the points I noticed, there were a lot of things that happened. Apparently there was a live of her where she said something along the lines of Maknae shared some secret with her n she apparently used tannies crying as gifs even after ARMYs repeatedly told her not to. There r few more things that I don't remember.
But her interview is much much better than western media interviews n she told the boys that they make the world a better place n she wishes they get the love back multipled by 1000 times. That was a lovely thing to say. This one sentence is enough for me to forgive her but I will not hype her anymore.
BBC radio 1 interview by Adele is a very nice interview
You are one of the best reactors out there! I wait for your reactions to drop everyday! I love that you appreciate the boys as artists and appreciate their art and them as human beings! We as Army really appreciate it!! 💜
You are in for a treat with Mono and Indigo! Please watch RM's explanation videos of his albums!
Yes, please do this. It adds more to the experience to hear him personally talk about the album. Although he always says that once it's out, it's up to the audience to interpret and perceive it but it's still nice to hear his thoughts behind/about the songs.
You are very intelligent yourself sir.
One of your most impressive features is your curiosity.
I have a perpetual, internal rant about people wondering something and moving on perfectly content not knowing. Mind you they are either in front of a computer or have a smartphone in their hands. Self-imposed ignorance drives me nuts.
You seem always willing to explore & learn. That alone earns my respect, but it is also very endearing! 💜
Can't wait for you to get to INDIGO!
Because Namjoon is the only one fluent in English, he understood all the message even the hate thrown to the team and he took it all to himself, not translating those hate to the guys to protect them.
I LOVE your analysis and thoughts. My favorite part of BTS is all the research and self reflection it leads me to do. In a sense, I’m putting in the work of building myself into a more reflective person because of the lyrics in their songs.
Can’t wait for your reaction to mono!! 💜
Namjoon is such a charismatic person, he's the the most intelligent person in most rooms but he never makes you feel it and just supports everyone. Unless you insult his team and piss him off and then it's on sight 🤣
I loved the part when you did a summary about the mixtape. I think we need more analysis like this, it was fun to listen to
He has always said True love is the one that you give back when you receive so yes the guys are good at that
Loving these reactions 🤭💗
Thank Yeon fr fr 💜🙏😁
@@tribeloui2023 yw friend 😁🫶
Hey loui.....love ur reactions man and obsessed with ur energy💜💜💜
Thank you Harshitha💜🙏 I’m happy you enjoy my videos fr fr😁
U are genuinely becoming the first person I'm waking up to every morning as ur upload schedule matches with my mrng schedule and I'm loving it.....
I love seeing u become a genuine army and enjoy every second of it💜💜💜💜
The fact that you're going really deep into his lyrics, I feel like you gonna watch all movies and read all books once you reach the group songs that are inspired by such content 😂👌🏻👌🏻👀, I love that you're trying to understand rm through his lyrics, he's a poet and a very smart artist, I really like the way you wrote your review, you're good at writing honestly. You are really taking the time and is much appreciated. You're officially my favorite reactor, you also add a lot of humor and give us a lot of content, dude once I start getting an extra payment for gigs, imma text u and you gotta give me some link where I can donate to you cuz you deserve it, I never do this but I'm sure if you have a Patreon with exclusive content I would pay for it 👀👌🏻💜💜
Loved your deep dive into the album. They way you take time to examine the music and lyrics. Shows a genuine love for music and respect for the band and not just mindless yelling and screaming 😅... One week won't be enough lol... RM has so many layers... All of his interviews the BE ones and the ones with Pharrel (Rolling stone) and Zach Sang to understand his creative process lol. But I think you can do a part 2 with rapline interviews to understand each of their creative processes and recurring themes and styles if you would like. Each of them brings something different. I won't tell you too much, you'll have fun discovering that yourself.
RM is the Poet Philosopher - I don't want to say much, will leave it for you to discover...😊
Suga's a Rap- Producer who does a few signature things so his production and lyrics tell a combined story. His adlibs often emphasize the lyrics creating a total experience.
J-Hope's dance background and love for lore and literature, unexpected melodies... You'll find a lot in his music and artistry. He likes world-building.
I'm trying not to leak out too much. 😅 But consider the bg of these artists, it really informs their writing so beautifully :)
I had literally given up checking for a new upload and decided to go to bed, but I still wanted to watch a video from you so I came to look for your Jin reaction you mentioned and saw this one!!💜 Thank you so much for these reactions, they literally make my day better!
These past couple of years the guys have gotten more comfortable being theirselves in interviews, especially the US ones. I love when they show their sassy sides lol! Though I miss seeing them as a group, so far this chapter 2 of their careers has been amazing for their growth as indiviuals.
So it’s not just me who’s constantly checking in for new uploads 😂
Loving how you're picking up on their actual personalities/dynamics - the channel you're using is a good one for trying to show true representations of the guys. For some context, that interviewer was indeed trying to start crap on plagiarism. You'll discover for yourself the insane hate campaign against BTS by other k-pop fans - WINGS, one of their albums, literally had a campaign against it called Break Wings Project (and, yes, BTS knew of it). None of the claims are true, but the hate definitely did damage, and it's one of the reasons Bangtan says "we only have ARMY".
And yep, Yoongi and Namjoon are the ones who pick up on the shade and react, but the rest of the group is as fiercely protective. Namjoon's talked several times about how he finds Yoongi a source of reassurance in press junkets and he's said "Without [you], this...journey would have been very tough", and Jungkook described them as: "Namjoon-hyung leads from the front, Suga-hyung leads from the back." To many of us, they're the twin pillars. One of Bangtan's greatest strengths is they're really all for one, one for all; they've worked very hard to build on their natural chemistry and it's resulted in this wonderful, rare cohesion. Anyway, thanks for being genuine and wanting to know the reality beyond the phenomenon :)
not gonna lie, your videos are the best part of my day. it really didn't feel like 37 minutes, time went too fast haha thanks for brightening my day, sending you much love
Namjoon is absolutely hilarious bro 😂😂😂
You can even see his humour sometimes come out in songs.
Man loves comedy too...
that’s our president 😌💜
Joonie is genius! All songs wrote by him are brilliant & dope 🔥🔥🔥 RM leader Jjang!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This was a very insightful review of the album. I really appreciated your own personal views, especially about the shards of divinity within each person. I think you understood RM's words and meaning very well. He's a poet through and through. Like others in the comments, I really look forward to seeing your reaction to "Indigo". As far as RM's leadership is concerned, he's the best there is. He's an excellent leader and example for his boys, and nobody else would be as patient as he is having to try to herd these chaos gremlins into something resembling order. It's not an easy task, but he handles it beautifully. I respect him so much.
Here’s some videos to add to your list of funny compilations (mostly sugarmyy)!😁

Loving your BTS reactions more and more each time! Thank you for taking your time learning who they are as artists and as people! 💜
Wow, your review of the Mixtape was so special! Thanks so much for being real 💜
Rm is smarter than even WE think he is. So yea. I totally agree, he's usually always polite but he has some sass too
I wanna see you listen to rms Un speech! When I first heard it I was an awe!
Just a side note on that one journalist that tried to accuse them of plagiarism: it later came out that they were affiliated with another entertainment agency, and so likely was paid to infiltrate the press meeting and stir up drama lol. Love your reactions !! 💜
can't wait for you to check out Mono! that little mixtape of his has actually changed peoples lives
You are the best BTS reactor out there (should I say BTS analyzer?) Thank you for giving us your honest thoughts on their music. I guarantee you, their songs only get better as you listen multiple times.
You nice, keep going 😅
WOW! You went and read the French poem? Congratulations! Love that. 💜
We came to know so much through their lyrics.
Namjoon always suggests books to ARMYs to read.
Waiting for the other mixtape reaction. *Mono* and *Indigo* his latest album.
Please stay genuine and honest like this.
Thank you so much for appreciating RM.
I’ve really been enjoying watching your journey. You bring a solid and fun dose of chaos and your intelligence really shines through. The way you break down and connect with the lyrics that you’ve seen so far makes me certain that you are going to LOVE this rabbit hole.
Thanks Loui! Shout outs to your golden era Cartoon Network shirt 💜🤘
i love you for going back to listen to the songs again thats like hardly ever done by any reactor. usually reactors are 1 song done and never mention it again like they do the bare minimum. but YOU my brother i love your review of RM. you completely got RMs vibe as an artist. He's an analyzer. He sees, he questions, he doesn't just accept. We had this saying about the BTS rappers:
RM analyzes the world
SUGA criticises the world
j-hope visualizes the world
keep going!! im so excited for your bts journey!!!
I'm happy you actually read the lyrics I say this to EVERYONE when I try to get them into BTS. I just sigh in the end cause they really don't get it. Joonie is something special I love that man I love all of them but he was the one that pulled me into checking out the group more.
ngl I've been refreshing since you posted earlier
i once read a comment that says, bts are for intelligent people...😂
maybe that is true, they did made me read a whole lot of books..😅 no other artist made me interested in social and psychological matters...😁
Add politics to that😅
Youre so insightful, its really refreshing.
Love your cartoon network shirt! Those were the good ol' days!
I believe that RM started wtiting poetry before he started RM. 💜💜
In a very short time, you've become one of my fav reactors!!
im always looking forward to your reactions! i’m so excited to see you dive into mono & indigo. you’re gonna love them both so much!
You are one of the most genuine reactors I’ve seen on here in a while and I greatly appreciate you taking this journey and the route that you’re taking. At first I was like get to group stuff get to group stuff hurry n watch the member guides but I find this way of going through each member individually and giving them real time to truly get to know them is absolutely a breath of fresh air and reminding me of so many memories I have from my own BTS journey 💜
I love Namjoon soo much😭😭😭
Tribe Loui! You will always be a favorite for me. Your love for music is palpable. I was excited to see you also listened to, “Do you Believe…” which isn’t on the title of your video. So happy that Ren was able to pull himself out of such a dark place and thankful that such beautiful and meaningful music came from all that pain. His music is literally helping save lives…. 💔❤️🩹❤️

you’re all i watch on youtube these days it’s crazy
I really love how you react to the full albums. Youre so insightful and fun at the same time! After individual members weeks, please please do this for all BTS albums as well. Youre in for a treat! And love it for me too bc it's like falling into the BTS rabbit hole all over again. 💜
They got a ton of plagiarism accusations. Constant. My favorite thing about how they handled that interviewer isn't just that Namjoon made him say it out clearly, or that Yoongi shut him down. As soon as he started, RM knew where he was going and crossed him off the list in front of him.
He (and possibly whatever publication he represented) lost his chance to ever interact with BTS again.
There are ways to respectfully ask about the issue, but that wasn't one of them.
26:45 I just about cried laughing! You were going on about how you're fluent in sarcasm, but completely missed SugArmyy's sarcasm hahaha. Honestly your reactions make my day
Yeah! and the part where Joon ask all the member to do a song with him (wouldn't that make it a BTS song😂)
Your reactions are my favorite start to my day at this point 💜
I waited all day for this video.!!
Watching your videos after every busy as heck days makes it feel just like watching something with a friend. I really love all your videos !!! Can't wait for more. 💜
when you get to Indigo album, I also recommend watching his performance at the Dia Beacon Museum.
brooo, every time I see you just uploaded a new BTS video, I know my day will be happier, you are so funnyyy
Love your notes about the mixtape!!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us💜
31:32 Right after debut, RM and Suga were invited to this K-hiphop roundtable and they attended in good faith, however, the rappers here, many way older than them, were very condescending and downright misogynistic. They mocked RM and Suga for leaving the underground scene to become Kpop idols because they thought it was "the easy way out." RM responded that training to be an idol was not that easy and not anyone can do it. He mentioned one guy here even auditioned for the same company as him. Suga said, respectfully, he didn't think he's changed that much - he still wrote his own bars and the difference was that he had an audience to listen to what he had to say (as opposed to how he'd sold his songs, got scammed, got his songs stolen and didn't earn a dime before). The dudes at the roundtable responded with toxic masculinity - ridiculing them for having predominantly female fans, calling them girls for wearing stage makeup, and declaring that hiphop culture was about being macho. 🤡
honestly? going down the route of getting big in america by doing promo, interviews, radio etc etc was one hell of a risky move considering namjoon was the only one who spoke english fluently. it could’ve been a disaster seeing how those interviewers clearly didn’t do any research and asked irrelevant questions trying to stir any drama for views but namjoon was the one at the forefront who navigated their way through.
namjoon’s interview with pharrell is such a breath of fresh air compared to the horrible interviews they had to endure especially during the earlier years. once you hear his dry “ha ha ha”, you know just how fed up he is and rightfully so. he doesn’t take anyone’s shit and i freakin love that.
p.s when you check out indigo, please watch his magazine film that explains more into his album!! its definitely worth it 💯💯
I really admire your honesty and that you stick to what you know is true :)

34:09 yess, american interviewers have the worst questions, there is a big difference when you see them in americans interviews with the Asian interviews (korean, japanese). Lat year they made a interview with Sakshma Srivastav (from India), she really made her research, she is also a BTS ARMY maybe that's why the interview went really well. Hope you react to that one too. 💜
