Don't worry, nothing is ever too much with these guys, so for the individual member introductions we do recommend the introduction by Taylor, It's the best and most updated one. Here is the link:) - ruclips.net/video/a0m_No-_fGw/видео.html
As long as you can handle reacting without getting burned out I will be watching every video you put out. I have yet to get burned out from watching BTS reactions or any content they put out in the 3 years I have been an ARMY. I have lists of the songs (including all their SoundCloud music) and Albums if you ever need it just ask.
🥰🥰🥰 for real thank you so much!! I am really looking forward to posting them all and kind of nervous about it lol but no chance of me getting burned out I am In love with the whole process creating these videos, watching and listening to the music, editing, and talking to all you amazing Army!!
I have got burned out on some reactors. Ones that do it for subs and try to fake interest. This guy I can watch all day; I’d say ‘He is from my tribe!’
There is no leader of ARMY. As BTS says, we walk side by side as equals. I hated this increasingly toxic world. Then I found BTS and realized there are still good people out there. They are my emotional safe space.
"The Rise of Bangtan" on channel "Rise of Bangtan" is a fan-made series. It chronicles their story. At this point there are 21 videos Plus "Deleted Scenes" and "Bonus Scenes". You're looking at about 12 + hours of viewing time. If you decide to continue the journey it might be a worth see eventually.
Here is a trailer for the series if you want to check it out. You’ll need subtitles turned on for the trailer. It’s fan-made by a professional editor and long time fan of the group. So good! Link to trailer: ruclips.net/video/SSaz25aJHyA/видео.html
@@meganlisenbee1183 It's tough to balance between reacting to music and documentary, right? I'd say let John do more music first, and sprinkle documentary here and there... But all up to him ofc. You two are awesome nonetheless!
Jungkook does have a ton of tattoos! He started getting them in late 2019, and is now has a full sleeve, hand to shoulder, of some beautiful ink. I get a little sentimental about his tattoos, just because he used to be so shy and care so much about what people thought of him, but he's really come into his own and started doing things that make him happy instead of worrying about everyone else and what they expect of him. The highly visible tattoos and the eyebrow/lip piercings are very out of the norm for idols in SK, but he wears them confidently, and it's so fun to see him express himself without worrying anymore 🥰 Also, as long as you don't burn yourself out reacting to content, armys will ALWAYS welcome as many reactions as you can give us. Seeing someone who genuinely seems to care about the group and their music and their message fall down that rabbit hole never gets old for armys. I can guarantee we will be here for every single video, so react to your heart's content! Thank you for being so kind and respectful and welcoming of us and of BTS!💜
"At the core of it all, they are musicians." You nailed it, John 💜. In a recent interview, Pdogg (BTS' main producer) said: “I had seen many artists before getting to know BTS, but I had not seen an act that really loves music this much,” he said. “Every single member has a passion for music and they really work hard. Even I get motivated a lot by the group as it shows ceaseless efforts and makes great outputs.” Another good video, John. Thanks and looking forward to the next one, whichever it is you're watching 🙂.
ah for real thank you so much! Its awesome reacting to these I feel like the more I see of them the more I can understand why they have such a massive army!
@@JohnReavesLive they have Permission To Dance filmed inside the GA and outside on the grounds. 😄 They have been invited by POTUS to WH to discuss Asian hate and the celebration of AAHI
There’s no such thing as too much BTS content! I’m delighted to follow you through the boys path! Thank you for taking the time to get to know these amazing and talented young men, they are our pride and happiness! I’m a 63 year old grandma from Arizona USA and I absolutely love them! I really like your reactions so i am looking forward for next week! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Everyday for a week? Wow we're spoiled! I did the right thing by subscribing lol. Thank you for your reaction, as always. Also, please react to Ma City live performance! The live performance of the song is by far my favorite!
I’m in my 50s and when my family and friends found out about my liking of the boys. The teasing and rude comments esp from my friends sometimes made me angry. My children have converted since and as a matter of fact my daughter is in Korea now because she loves everything about the country. Oh and she’s hoping to meet Yoongi 🐱. As far as my friends they still call me immature, going to my 2nd childhood, I should be ashamed of myself acting like a teenager, sometimes pervert when the guys are full grown men, etc but it doesn’t bother me because I owe and deserve happiness to myself. 💜
for real I am so sorry people are talking to you like this, you deserve better and shouldn't feel bad for liking what you like! you will find no judgement here from me, only positive vibes and motivation!
Ayy-Yo ,I'm 65,and love the music of BTS. They found me in one of the toughest times in my life. Whatever makes you happy and brings you joy you should hold onto. Not the unnecessary remarks of others who are missing out on so much. BTS isn't just a band of musicians...they are a family. A family that is global ,non denominational, colorful, ageless and can sing together at a concert!
@@AREM94 I agree,but being narrow minded,must be awfully hard work. And to think they do it for free! The way some people get bent out of shape,you thought it was a high paying job! It's called lack of information, education,knowledge...etc...for if they knew what they were talking about...well,we wouldn't be having this discussion,right? No loss of sleep here, nor in your slumber either! We got your back! Borahae 💜
You can’t burn us out on BTS. I’ve seen this introduction video at least 50 times. I think it’s a bit dated now and there are more current intro videos. But NEVER worry about burning US out. Never gonna happen. And I’m 67 and serious ARMY. My husband and I saw them in LA last November. They inspire me and truly kept me sane during the pandemic. I hope you stay on your BTS journey with us.
:) for real thank you so much Marilyn! I love that you and your husband are in this together and going to live shows together! really hope to go to one some day!
I’m 42 and BTS is actually the first “boy band” I’m really into and devote my time to. Growing up I did enjoy listening to other pop groups but never felt a connection until BTS came along. They’re just so relatable and humble 😊
Yes, JK is breaking the usual idol look. He has whole arm full of tattoos. AND ANYWAY, BTS is going to the White House to talk about anti-Asian hate crimes. Go BTS!!!
🙌🙌🙌 100% someone needs to talk about that I have some amazing Asian friends that I know personally who have been effected by hate crimes and it needs to stop. Go BTS!!
- XCeleste's videos are really good. I definitely agree that you should watch the hardships video because it's a huge part of their story but make sure it's the updated 2013-2021 version. Also, her video This is BTS ARMY might actually surprise you - they've truly influenced people and inspired a lot of philanthropic projects all around the world. - They've spoken at the UN three times so far, the last time as presidentially appointed special envoys for future generations and culture (diplomatic passports and all). Just yesterday it was announced that they're meeting with President Biden at the White House to discuss combatting anti-asian hate crimes and to celebrate AANHPI Heritage month. - I don't think you could ever make too much BTS content as far as ARMYs are concerned. 😄 A BTS week sounds freakin awesome. Feel free to ask for info or suggestions... Loving your openminded BTS journey so far. They've really opened my mind to genres I would never have dreamt of listening to before BTS and as human beings they're just pure gold. 💜
:) for real thank you! I have been having a blast getting to know them as a band and their music, its all so much different than I would have assumed! I love to politically active they are for causes that really matter in the world. 100% will be checking out that video!
BTS have actually spoken at the UN 3 times. They’ve also performed at the UN general assembly recently. They’re going to be speaking at the White House on 31’st May on Asian hate crimes and Asian representation. They have diplomatic passports so they’ll be acting in that capacity.
@@JohnReavesLive I think you also asked about their tattoos? JK has a full arm sleeve tattoos- from shoulder to knuckles. He also has a lip piercing ( he had an eyebrow piercing but it’s closed now). Jimin also has a few tattoos. He has ‘Nevermind’ on his left rib cage ( It’s a song by Suga you should definitely check out) he has young on one arm(above his elbow) and forever on the other (Young forever is their song that is most close to his heart). He has 13 ( his birthday and the year of their debut) on his wrist. He has a moon tattoo on his neck. And he has youth behind his ear. No other member has any tattoos. You can look at JKs tattoos if you google it though….
@@JohnReavesLive they get diplomatic passport when they get invited by korean president become a special president envoy to UN general assembly. So, in 2018 and 2020, they get invited by unicef as unicef general ambassador to give speech on UN general assembly. In 2021 it was invitation from korean president as special envoy. That why they gt diplomatic passport for that mission from president. But after they done that mission in UN general assembly, they p give back that diplomatic passport to the goverment.
"Most Beautiful Life Goes On (2022 update)" for a deep dive into each of them individually - along with a bit of history of K-Pop. Gentle humor included.
That thing about you acknowledging that you were struggling might be one of the reasons you found BTS right now. The boys never turned away from being vulnerable on stage and with fans. I think they are not only examples to army but also to fellow musicians- and love that you won’t let yourself be determined about what other people might think of bts 🫶🏻
I’ve been enjoying your reactions and content so much! Thank you for being so respectful and open minded! And content everyday for the next 7 days? Hell yeah!!! Thank you for sharing your BTS journey with us :)
Jessa!!! for real thank you so much for saying so!!!! I am so excited to keep putting out new videos lol I literally get little pre show jitters before hitting publish now
Amen, to your comments at the end about having an open mind. At the recent concerts they did in Vegas, V noticed that there were a lot more men in the audience than they were used to. So he asked them to cheer and this big roar went up. They were all so excited about that. Re putting more BTS reactions up in a shorter period of time, I’d say that ARMY is pretty insatiable for thoughtful and open minded content. The best individual members video I’ve seen is the Taylor Nakamoto one, it was a draft though so hope it’s still available. Oh and apparently they are on their way to the White House next week to meet President Biden as part of Asian inclusion talks. 👌
Heck yes Kelly!!! I think they world is opening up to how awesome BTS is! sure there will always be some haters but if they just are open to it, they would appreciate them!
No such thing as too much content when it comes to BTS! My journey down this never ending rabbit hole started last year and I’m still finding things out about them and discovering songs I haven’t heard before! Enjoy the ride! They are just phenomenal!
It's ok, ARMY likes a lot of content!.. and no, there is no ARMY leader.. this is the most organized and good fandom that exists, someone proposes something, and if it has a good purpose, the word spreads quickly (mostly on Twitter) if it's to help BTS or anyone in need. I wish you understand what I am saying, I am from Argentina (I speak Spanish). It's been a long time since I found someone as good as you reacting to BTS, I'm excited to see you upload new videos💜
:) For real you saying that just made me entire day! thank you so much! I really have loved every interaction ive had with the BTS Army :) Hope you have a blessed day!
Yeah exactly plus that we have big accounts dedicated for different things like charts, charity, news, pics, etc so that helps too but we don't consider them "leaders" they're armys just like all of us with the difference of having a bigger platform to spread things more easily within the fandom
Twitter ARMYs are the reason why we are this organized I think...They set goals for CB,they organize charity and all...They make the first step I think and we all follow...
@@bonobonoyaaa.....7729 yes and the fact that we all love the boys so much we know them the same way. we might have a bias but love them all and are eager to help them. it army got a sentence from a member we would know who said it. you can test it out if you like just for fun in a stream maybe so that no one can cheat. same goes for the music we know every little detail it´s actually crazy to witness a steam full of armys
I'm 33 years old, a lawyer, and I live in Brazil. I've always been a fan of rock, especially bands from the 80's/90's. In love with RHCP, I went to 2 shows of them in BR. And pop I liked a little, very superficially. Then at the end of 2020 I met BTS after a lot of resistance lol. I thought it was something canned, like western pop has been lately, and that it was a fanatical teenager thing. What made me a fan was the quality of the lyrics and the different melodies. You can already see that their production is on another level. It was also the amazing choreography and the whole SHOW that is watching MV or a concert of them. It's magic. But what really made me an ARMY was getting to know more about these boys as human beings. There was no way. I tell you that today there is no artist of the type in the West. In terms of values, principles and the type of message they have as a mission to convey. In addition to the relationship they built very closely, simply and honestly with their fan base, because we feel close to them. That's unique. So I'm very proud say that I'm Army. And honestly, even though I still love rock music, I'm honestly in saying that I can't fell the same for any of these artists, as much as I enjoy their work so much. I know that for those who don't know them and are outside, it's hard to understand how they managed to create such a huge and loyal fan base around the world, who defends them so hardly. There is always the impression that it is a fever, an explosion of crazy teenagers. But those who accept, like you, to overcome the barrier of musical prejudice, can understand that just by the quality of their work, this would already be justified. I'm really enjoying your videos and I hope that somehow BTS can help you feel better, just like they helped me and millions of people around the world💜.
Bruna, for real thank you so much for sharing your story with me and already I can tell you just interacting with the BTS army has made a positive impact on my life, I have been surrounded by positivity and I feed off that, I love that ARMY does to :) they say you attract what you put out in the world and I really think thats whats happening here, just a big group of positivity!
Thank you for you. I wanted to let you know I decided to support after watching you and your wife’s reaction to the event behind Spring Day. And it really seems like you grasp what the best thing about ARMYs is and that is community. Breaking the Stereotype is wonderful and it is in such great spirit. Recently you stated a thought, that you hoped when you react to other bands and music, that new subs (ARMYs don’t disappear. Well, this Pantera, Hatebreed, Afghan Whigs, Salt N Pepa and BTS fan will not go. As long as your love of life and music remains.
Thank you for your positive and enthusiastic yet thoughtful reactions! You have an infectious personality, like the BTS members. I am a 55 yo mom from Canada, who got introduced to BTS from her daughter and now the whole family loves them. They have been my antidote against the pandemic and craziness of the last two years. As for too much content, army say “Yes please” to that, but go at a good pace for yourself, no need to get burnt out. This journey is to be enjoyed….
Moumou thank you so much for saying so!!! I love doing these and hopefully my enjoyment is what you're seeing here! I am really stoked to be doing the week long intros!
Can’t wait to see them! Btw I just watched your reaction to House of Cards and appreciated your appreciation of Jin’s vocals 😊. His voice really shines in their Japanese songs too. The Jin fan cam of Crystal Snow live is incredible, highly recommended.
Damn I'm crying. I used to spend so much time watching people reacting to BTS. Bts really saved me when I was going through depression for the first time. I felt so alone until I found out about them. They brought back my smile.
I'm 39 and from the States. I've been a metalhead for 20+ years, since high school. Until the pandemic hit I had never heard of BTS or Kpop in general. I randomly came across BTS content here on RUclips in 2020. Honestly, I wasn't a fan at first. It felt like such a jump from the music I had stuck with for so many years. But like a lot of people throughout Covid I was going through a really lonely time and I realized that with every new song I listened to I somehow wasn't feeling as isolated. It hit me that BTS was the reason I was feeling better about life. And it wasn't just their music, I dove head first into all the documentaries, Run BTS, In The Soop, their VLives, etc. I will ALWAYS love metal but a majority of it (in my opinion) is aggressive and violent and very in your face. Beyond their music, every member of BTS makes me feel better and makes me laugh, which I hadn't done in so long. In a similar way that RM and Suga had been accused of betraying hip hop I've been made to feel like I'm betraying metal, but that's not it at all. I simply needed a change. And BTS was the change I needed and I will never hesitate to defend our boys. 💜💜💜
Susanne for real I love how likeminded we are on this! Metal is such a mindset like all the lyrics I listen to are some what motivational and in your face and I think thats whats made me the person I am today just listening to these messages day after day, its made me a positive motivated person. Im glad both of us opened up and gave BTS a chance! what are some metal bands you listen to?
@@JohnReavesLive First, you know, if you really think about it BTS and a huge part of the metal genre actually share very similar lyrical content and ideologies. Basically "be yourself". Forget about trying to please others and forcing yourself to fit in with society, follow your own path and find happiness in being who you are. Second, trying to list all the metal bands that I love is not an easy task 😬 I don't know that I could even limit it to a small list but here are some that have had a special place with me over the years and some that I've recently come to love (these are from all over the genre- some hardcore, goth/melodic, progressive, etc. and some are probably not even considered metal 🤷♀️ ): Opeth, Tool/A Perfect Circle, Soilwork, Nightwish, Narco Debut, Hanging Garden, Alexisonfire, The Black Dahlia Murder, Norma Jean, Circa Survive, Sons, Thrice, Enslaved, Killswitch Engage, Parkway Drive, Asking Alexandria (like pre 2010ish, before they made that crazy switch lol), and I'll stop there lol Maybe you'll find some more new music from this list!
BTS will be at the White House next week to join President Joe Biden for a special conversation about anti-Asian hate, as well as inclusion and representation. THEY MAKE US SO PROUD OF THEM AS ALWAYS BTS NEVER DISAPPOINT THIS UNIVERSE 💜 😇
I am so happy they are being a voice for this message! I have a few Asian friends that are the most amazing people I know and it’s horrible to think they have been effected by hate crimes.
@@JohnReavesLive ikr.🥺 luckily this world has BTS because their influence is putting a better place for each and everyone we can't find an artist who will be able to do this kind of thing 🥺 this is so deep that's why I keep saying that BTS is the true definition of Artist that worth to support and loved💜
@@JohnReavesLive I totally agree. Friends are friends regardless of race, religion, gender, skin color, etc. The world needs more good hearted and open minded people like BTS and you. That's why we want RM to run for president 🤗. I love your enthusiasm and that you're open to new things in general. I think it's a great idea to do more BTS videos. Army never gets tired of watching the boys, we have watched almost every video dozens of times. Don't worry, Borahae 💜🤗
You already know we love long videos. BTS has trained us too well. Love folks getting to see the fact they really are passionate musicians and a true underdog story.
You can never ever ever ever do too much content of BTS for Army. You can never ever ever ever make videos too long. I am silver Army I am 60. I thoroughly love their music. A lot it reminds me of the music I grew up with. I was actually tired of music out there because everyone started to sound the same. I was bored with it. I came across BTS while searching for something not even related to music. They revitalized my love for music again. You said you appreciate some of their songs but it’s not a genre you normally listen to. The more you go down this rabbit hole you will find your taste change. A song you may not like at first will become a song on your playlist. The more you understand lyrics and meaning behind the songs they become your favorites. Hehe Thanks for reacting to this video. Borahae 💜 🇺🇸
For real I totally agree with that statement how my taste will change, I’ve found myself listen back to these songs even the more pop songs! So for sure it’s all love and respect on my end for them!
Can’t wait to follow your journey. So much positivity and good music, we all need this! You can react and post as much BTS as you like and you’ll have a big ARMY audience, so don’t worry. I’m a 59 yo ARMY who only found BTS last year. I grew up on Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath. They say BTS finds you when you need them most, and it’s certainly true for me. 💜
Karina I love your message and love the bands you grew up on!!! there's such a diverse group here and its been amazing to meet everyone! I really have loved every moment in the bts rabbit hole!!!
Thank you for taking the time to get to know the boys 😊. You will find that they are genuine, kind & generous. I'm 59 y/o with 3 adult children from the Philippines and I love BTS like my own children bec of their personalities and respectfulness toward others which is a good role model for young generations and their music especially their lyrics speak to me and help me get through my own challenges in life so I thank the bi-lingual volunteers also for their efforts and time.
Lisa thank you so much for taking the time to watch my reaction and the comment!!! I really have loved getting to know the BTS army and boys! I agree, the lyrics are a lot of what's brought me into BTS
New sub…62 yrs old…Canada….I believe BTS transcends any artist I’ve heard…it’s refreshing to see a group who promotes goodness, love, and acceptance and you don’t see that in North America….so welcome to Army…💜💜💜
I can never get burned out on BTS (I mean, I have a BTS logo tattoo on my arm and my entire bedroom/living room is BTS (with a few other bits of kpop sprinkled in). I’m 36 years old, was 33 when I got into them. I have people in my life who are always saying I have an unhealthy problem, but the whole reason I am happy, motivated and able to get through my mental illness because of them. If friends can’t support that they’re not friends. Seeing their journey and their struggles helps appreciate these guys even more. The fact they’ve stayed humble this whole time says a lot about them as well. 💜
We can never have to much BTS!!! As long as you promise not to get yourself burned out. I enjoy watching your genuine reaction and hearing you understand the little things about their music. I get so excited when someone new comes around and actually takes the time to get to know the guys and realize what absolutely talented they are. The good they do and still remain so humble. I’m in my 40’s and was brought into this world when they first came out due to having a teenage daughter and her sitting me down and having me watch them and read what they were saying. So thank you for taking the time for them and I can’t wait for this journey with you. 💜💜💜
ah heck yes! and for real it means the world to me to have as amazing people as the BTS army with me while I go down this rabbit hole! I've loved every min of it!
Been watching and loving your journey. I originally loved metal and alt rock then found BTS who have helped me thru a hard part in my journey. Can not lie when I say I am finding myself more and more with every step, proud to be ARMY and have found BTS. Thanks to both I'm here with my kiddos, safe and finding myself. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I was lucky to have been able to watch them at sofi(day4) and vegas (day2) and I will cherish those concerts forever. I love the videos you put out on BTS. It's fun seeing another person's journey into discovering the guys and their music and vast content. I also appreciate how respectful you (and your viewers) are and openminded about them. Lookin forward to seeing more of your videos! Keep 'em coming!
Love, love this reaction.. I’m looking forward to your future reactions of bts. Also it’s true there’s actually a bunch of metal and rock fans that are also fans of BTS’s it’s pretty cool.
45 y.o. ARMY Metalhead....as long as you are making videos &having fun/enjoying yourself I'll watch. They have SO much cool stuff. I've never gotten tired of any of it in over 5 years.
The Rise of Bangtan series is the best ARMY-made docu about the story of the boys. It was soooo well made that it deserves to be in Netflix. The creators are professional editors and have been following the BTS journey from the start. You'll definitely learn a lot about kpop music in whole and the genuineness and purity of BTS since day 1. I hope you can do check it out!! Please! I am now binge watching your BTS reactions. Thank you so much 💜
All the documentaries are fun to see and worthwhile watching as they contain info not covered in exactly the same way as the others. I think you will find most ARMY will happily watch them all along with you. I really enjoy watching people new to BTS discover the depth and extent of this group!
:) for real thank you for the suggestion Gretchen! and I really hope to see you in future comments! I love doing these reactions and learning more about them!
I’m 87 and my kids got a bang out of my fan ship. They bought me Butter as encouragement. My exercise program is dancing to BTS. I love all their music and have even learned to listen to rap. Rock on BTS.
I've literally just discovered your channel thanks to this reaction, and to be honest, this made me tear up, your reactions and authenticity towards bts reminded me of when I had just discovered bts back in 2017/18 and the fascination I had at the time, I would really reccomend checking out the history of bts' hardships as unfortunantly they have had to deal with a lot in the past, and still do. Thanks again for your reaction and I will be looking forward to your future reactions! 💜
There isn't an ARMY "leader" separate from BTS. You see, we're all able to get along despite how different we all are because of our love and enthusiasm for BTS. We want the best for them so it's really a community effort. It's amazing to see millions of people just come together for a collective goal. One of my favorite moments was when the whole fandom was feeling down because of an event then there was an impromptu streaming party on stationhead. Out of nowhere 200k+ people from all over the world joined the BTS streaming party. And the numbers would have been larger (stationhead requires a premium spotify account) the rest streamed along via updates on twitter. It was amazing and so inspiring to see so much people come together for one group. So many memorable moments, even the fandom screaming about something and accidentally trending. Many happy moments, many sad moments but BTS kept us together. For the member intro I suggest the one by Taylor Nakamoto, it's informative and the most up to date. I also recommend the most beautiful moment in life by Rice squad and the Rise of Bangtan series all are totally amazing.
Wow! I love to see honest and open minded reactions. I do hope, as you, that more people will be positive about at least listening to different genres of music as well as experiencing many cultures. Occasionally, I still get a little flack from some people about my love of Kpop and Kdrama after 15yrs. Yes, it has been a minute, but I am never disappointed.BTS is something special altogether and I will be happy to accompany you with you down this rabbit hole as long as you create content . Any content! 💜
:) for real holly thank you so much for saying that! I really have loved everything ive seen so far and cant wait to keep seeing more! I really appreciate the company as I venture down the rabbit hole! Hope you have a blessed and awesome day!
Another awesome thing to watch is a fan-made documentary series called Rise of Bangtan. It goes into a lot of detail and depth. It's a really good look at the members and everything they went through to get where they are today.
It's a pride to be part of the fandom of a group of young people who not only offer quality music, songs and shows, but are also the most wonderful, simple and humble people. They have also managed to have a great social, cultural and political influence (some are scared by the word but BTS has made politics by criticizing the system in a song, by allying with Unicef, by going to the UN, etc) at a global level. As for Army, there is no formal organization; Through various social network accounts we can know what is happening, goals, projects, etc. When Army mentions "our leader" you can understand that it's RM. Regarding tattoos, in South Korea only health professionals with a specific license can legally perform them, so many of the places where they are performed are illegal. Also, although society has been changing, they are still not well seen by everyone, so many media have strict rules so that idols must cover them to appear on their screens. Jungkook used to wear long sleeves and often covered his hand, but now it's very common to see him with short sleeves or no sleeves showing the tattoos on his arm; another one who has some tattoos is Jimin. By the way, they already recommended Taylor Nakamoto's intro, which is very good and one of the most up-to-date; although there are some details that are missing (it is still a draft), for example she does not mention all those who practice instruments, she only does it in 2 boys and at least 5 of them do.
Really cant wait to see that video! I've only heard good about it so I know its worth the watch!!! Its crazy how the perspective of tattoos is different in other areas of the world, in America, or the South of America, they dont hire people with tattoos you can see, so ive been denied jobs before because of my tattoos and now that I own my own business, I still have to cover them up sometimes before going to appointments
@@JohnReavesLive Unfortunately there are still many prejudices about it. Personally I don't like them and I would never make one, but they are personal tastes that have nothing to do with socioeconomic or academic level, so they shouldn't deny jobs or even access to some places to those who have them.
Absolutely love your reactions. Don’t worry there is never such thing as “too much” content for army. I literally know most of the introduction and funny videos etc word by word because I just love watching people discover them. Just please make sure that you are not overworking yourself. 7 videos in 7 days seems like a lot so please take care.
So sorry to hear about your father passing, glad to have you here though and I hope that by us talking about these things it helps both of us deal with them!
There is No such thing as a lot of content as long as you’re doing it and enjoying yourself. I have been enjoying myself watching your videos. Thank you for your genuine reaction.
I'm a bit older so I loved bands like Nirvana, Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails, along with a lot of old school rappers. I loved these bands because they were emotionally authentic. Imagine my surprise when my daughter introduced me to BTS and I saw that same level of emotional honesty and authenticity. It's something I've never really seen in a 'pop' band before. I love having my preconceptions shattered like that.
To be honest John. I think your idea of concentrating on the individual members like that is brilliant. I haven't seen anyone else do something quite like that, but I think it's a really good way to get to know each of the members. And I am definitely looking forward to seeing your videos. The first BTS content I watched was a reaction video to "On" The Kinetic Manifesto Film version; which I absolutely loved. Then I discovered "Daechwita" by Agust D (Suga). Which led me to the song "Agust D" - which is...wow. Then I started looking up things about them, found a few introduction videos, and compilations, and quickly realized what amazing young men they are. Listened to more of their music, and haven't stopped. It's been about 9 months now, and I wish I had found them earlier. And you are right, their are a lot of 'mature' Army out their. More than a lot of people realize. I am a 53 year old woman from New Zealand, and I am grateful for all the content on RUclips, because you don't hear about BTS here. You didn't pick the most flattering picture for the easter egg, did you? I remember the Run BTS episode that shot comes from. It is hilarious. One day you might want to check some of them out too. Some of them had me in tears laughing. And it's a great way to learn more about their personalities. I love you videos, and I want to thank you for sharing your thoughts, and your time, with us. Thank you John. Borahae 💜💐💜
Leah for real thank you so much for the comment! I really am looking forward to doing the BTS week!! cant wait to learn more about them all and to hear more of their solo stuff! I love how diverse the army is its been great getting to know everyone! and heck yes!!! lol Easter eggs will always be funny pictures for sure :)
heck yes Wendy!!! for real thank you!! idk what it is but the last few days im like.... I really want to hear more!!! lol so dont be surprised if I start posting a ton more! just know im having a blast doin it
It’s never too much when it comes to Bts, they are known for their massive content and we watch every single one of their videos, it’s not even enough. It’s the same with the reactors we like
Love your reaction to this. The one she made about the Army is also SO good. BTS had a concert some months ago in LA and I read where ARMYs had flown in from 63 countries!!!!!!!💜
It will never burns us out, as long as you are ok reacting to that much we are here for it! That’s one statement I feel confident ARMY as a whole would agree with💜
I thought u were going to react to the members intoduction at first hahahaha! Thankyou for the video! looking forward to more reactions from ur channel! it has been very fun!
I've just watched all of your BTS reactions...loved them and have subscribed. Hi from Australia, 57yo ARMY grandma. Looking forward to being on your BTS journey with you🙋🏾♀️💜
Love your reactions and as long as your reactions are honest, I will be here. I will never get tired of anyone loving on my guys!! Also love the way you’re going about watching and reacting. Welcome to the army and enjoy this journey down the rabbit hole!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Never enough. 💜 Fun fact. Bang ShiHyuk is an accomplished musician, songwriter, and producer himself and has contributed to many of their songs. As the company grew so did his responsibilities....just last year he stepped down from the newly established ipo conglomerate of entertainment entities under their umbrella to return to running Big Hit music and work exclusively with the boys. (He smartly separated Big Hit musicbto protect BTS). BTS has had the same small tight team that has worked with them since day 1. 💜 And we are all ARMY. No leaders. We just work together through social media... esp Twitter.
Oh they have an introduction to the bts army as well it's called this is bts army its an introduction to us basically. Omg yes Jungkook has a sleeve on the same arm he has army on his hand and there incredible.
@@JohnReavesLive there are a few of him in vlive where his tattoos show or there online concert they did it's called swoozoo I'll send you both links lmao 🤣
18:51 he didn't say thats why he doesn't do tv shows he said that 'its not that he don't like doing Tv shows, but he thinks concerts are the reason he is in BTS'
Subscribed! thank you for genuinely liking the whole bts process.... i am sooooo proud to be a bts army..... i hope you can watch one of their concerts one day..... bts will surely be happy to see male armies growing in numbers.....
The "Freaking TOODLES!" cracks me up every time 😂 Also V scream-face? This intro is a great overview of the group, most of the other intro videos you'll get requests for (Ida S. & Taylor's) are more member specific. They're both fabulous. Can't wait for the 7 day member marathon!
lol heck yes!!! its my favorite way of saying goodbye! such a lost word! and it was!!! thank you so much for watching the whole video!!!! Really excited about watching the other intros!
When it comes to BTS there is no concept of too much concept....Army love to see genuine reactors undertaking the journey of knowing them....appreciate your honesty and knowledge :)
When is come to BTS is never too long or enough ,can’t wait for it .. I know already I will have 7 amazing days .. thank you to react to our 7 precious kings love it 💜
No need to worry about too much contents. We can handle it as long as you don't get burned out. I'll watch as long as they are good contents. I have always enjoyed watching reactors learn about BTS.
It is a known fact that BTS and ARMY are obsessed with each other. Its grossly cute. I have never seen a connection like we have. If you haven't already I'd follow them on Instagram at least. Thats probably the main line of communication now besides weverse. It use to be twitter but they abandoned us over there lmao. Also, yeah no main ARMY leader we're just really connected on twitter and word spreads FAST. oh and if you get the bts logo we'll be matching bc I'm getting the same one soon! Lots of people in the fandom have it actually.
OHHH and, sorry for the long reply, definitely never too much BTS content. BTS are notorious for putting out a lot of stuff all the time. We've learned to keep up lmao! and its never too long either! I promise you ARMY will 100% sit through any length of video if its of or about BTS. I actually prefer longer stuff tbh. The boys have spoiled me on that front.
heck yes Shelby!!!! thats awesome! and honestly Idk if we'll get the 50k yet but I love tattoos and felt like that could be a fun community challenge!!!
I'm one who loved Deep Purple, Incubus and Silverchair and many more fell in love with BTS. Seriously these boys now men are geniuses and gifted in their craft. May they continue to heal the world through their music and live journeys.
Don't worry, nothing is ever too much with these guys, so for the individual member introductions we do recommend the introduction by Taylor, It's the best and most updated one.
Here is the link:) - ruclips.net/video/a0m_No-_fGw/видео.html
AAA thank you so much for the suggestion! and heck yes!!! I appreciate the link! will for sure check it out!
@JohnReavesLive I'm looking forward to this intro reaction.💜 Taylor's intro. It's a draft but the best one so far.
I agree..it's a good one
True. I like this by Taylor.
I love this introduction too, it's one of my favorite!!! I'll be waiting for it :)
As long as you can handle reacting without getting burned out I will be watching every video you put out. I have yet to get burned out from watching BTS reactions or any content they put out in the 3 years I have been an ARMY. I have lists of the songs (including all their SoundCloud music) and Albums if you ever need it just ask.
🥰🥰🥰 for real thank you so much!! I am really looking forward to posting them all and kind of nervous about it lol but no chance of me getting burned out I am In love with the whole process creating these videos, watching and listening to the music, editing, and talking to all you amazing Army!!
I am about to turn 55 and have been wholeheartedly ARMY since 2017. I never tire of them or their music. They are like my own children to me. 💜
I have got burned out on some reactors. Ones that do it for subs and try to fake interest. This guy I can watch all day; I’d say ‘He is from my tribe!’
There is no leader of ARMY. As BTS says, we walk side by side as equals.
I hated this increasingly toxic world. Then I found BTS and realized there are still good people out there. They are my emotional safe space.
Yeah.. but for inside joke, we call John Cena as Army leader coz he is a big fan of BTS too 🤭🤭🤭
LOL I love this (John Cena as the leader) and honestly I couldn't agree more! I love how positive all the interactions ive had with Army have been!
lol right?!!?!?
"The Rise of Bangtan" on channel "Rise of Bangtan" is a fan-made series. It chronicles their story. At this point there are 21 videos Plus "Deleted Scenes" and "Bonus Scenes". You're looking at about 12 + hours of viewing time. If you decide to continue the journey it might be a worth see eventually.
This is a great series!
Heck yes!!!! I would love to check those out!!! thank you for the suggestion Virginia!!!
Here is a trailer for the series if you want to check it out. You’ll need subtitles turned on for the trailer. It’s fan-made by a professional editor and long time fan of the group. So good!
Link to trailer: ruclips.net/video/SSaz25aJHyA/видео.html
This is definitely on the list... I'm just trying to find a spot in the schedule. :)
@@meganlisenbee1183 It's tough to balance between reacting to music and documentary, right? I'd say let John do more music first, and sprinkle documentary here and there... But all up to him ofc. You two are awesome nonetheless!
Jungkook does have a ton of tattoos! He started getting them in late 2019, and is now has a full sleeve, hand to shoulder, of some beautiful ink. I get a little sentimental about his tattoos, just because he used to be so shy and care so much about what people thought of him, but he's really come into his own and started doing things that make him happy instead of worrying about everyone else and what they expect of him. The highly visible tattoos and the eyebrow/lip piercings are very out of the norm for idols in SK, but he wears them confidently, and it's so fun to see him express himself without worrying anymore 🥰
Also, as long as you don't burn yourself out reacting to content, armys will ALWAYS welcome as many reactions as you can give us. Seeing someone who genuinely seems to care about the group and their music and their message fall down that rabbit hole never gets old for armys. I can guarantee we will be here for every single video, so react to your heart's content! Thank you for being so kind and respectful and welcoming of us and of BTS!💜
Ah you expressed what I was feeling very well. 💜
Jordan thank you so much for the info and the kind words! I really am loving this journey and cant say enough how humbling it has been!
Jimin is also have tattoos. At the moment he have six, all have a connection to BTS.
"At the core of it all, they are musicians." You nailed it, John 💜.
In a recent interview, Pdogg (BTS' main producer) said:
“I had seen many artists before getting to know BTS, but I had not seen an act that really loves music this much,” he said. “Every single member has a passion for music and they really work hard. Even I get motivated a lot by the group as it shows ceaseless efforts and makes great outputs.”
Another good video, John. Thanks and looking forward to the next one, whichever it is you're watching 🙂.
ah for real thank you so much! Its awesome reacting to these I feel like the more I see of them the more I can understand why they have such a massive army!
They were at the UN general assembly 3 times it's definitely incredible.
🤯🤯 3 times?!?! That’s insane!! Glad they have some very positive people talking in there at least 3 times 😂
@@JohnReavesLive and they are invited by THE WHITE HOUSE!! they are going this May 30 i think.
@@JohnReavesLive and they were invited to the White House (Pres. Biden) on May 31st to talk about anti-asian hate crimes and discrimination 😁💜💜💜
@@JohnReavesLive they have Permission To Dance filmed inside the GA and outside on the grounds. 😄
They have been invited by POTUS to WH to discuss Asian hate and the celebration of AAHI
@@JohnReavesLive yep and now they are heading to the white house to talk to president joe biden
There’s no such thing as too much BTS content! I’m delighted to follow you through the boys path! Thank you for taking the time to get to know these amazing and talented young men, they are our pride and happiness! I’m a 63 year old grandma from Arizona USA and I absolutely love them! I really like your reactions so i am looking forward for next week! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
🥰🥰 for real Manuela thank you so much! I hope you have an amazing and blessed night!! I’m so excited for next week!!
@@JohnReavesLive OMG thank you for replying to me that’s uncommon and I really appreciate it! Have an awesome weekend!
Everyday for a week? Wow we're spoiled! I did the right thing by subscribing lol. Thank you for your reaction, as always. Also, please react to Ma City live performance! The live performance of the song is by far my favorite!
I love this song💜
I think it’s on the list to check out very soon!! Really stoked to see it!! 🥰 and for sure am both stoked to post these videos and also nervous 😂
@@JohnReavesLive Yaaay!!
I’m in my 50s and when my family and friends found out about my liking of the boys. The teasing and rude comments esp from my friends sometimes made me angry. My children have converted since and as a matter of fact my daughter is in Korea now because she loves everything about the country. Oh and she’s hoping to meet Yoongi 🐱. As far as my friends they still call me immature, going to my 2nd childhood, I should be ashamed of myself acting like a teenager, sometimes pervert when the guys are full grown men, etc but it doesn’t bother me because I owe and deserve happiness to myself. 💜
Please don't care about what other said about you..
Have you watch The rise of bangtan docu-series chapter 1-21
for real I am so sorry people are talking to you like this, you deserve better and shouldn't feel bad for liking what you like! you will find no judgement here from me, only positive vibes and motivation!
Ayy-Yo ,I'm 65,and love the music of BTS. They found me in one of the toughest times in my life. Whatever makes you happy and brings you joy you should hold onto. Not the unnecessary remarks of others who are missing out on so much. BTS isn't just a band of musicians...they are a family. A family that is global ,non denominational, colorful, ageless and can sing together at a concert!
@@susank.548 🙏 I dislike narrow minded people just because the guys don’t meet their expectations.
@@AREM94 I agree,but being narrow minded,must be awfully hard work. And to think they do it for free! The way some people get bent out of shape,you thought it was a high paying job! It's called lack of information, education,knowledge...etc...for if they knew what they were talking about...well,we wouldn't be having this discussion,right? No loss of sleep here, nor in your slumber either! We got your back! Borahae 💜
You can’t burn us out on BTS. I’ve seen this introduction video at least 50 times. I think it’s a bit dated now and there are more current intro videos. But NEVER worry about burning US out. Never gonna happen. And I’m 67 and serious ARMY. My husband and I saw them in LA last November. They inspire me and truly kept me sane during the pandemic. I hope you stay on your BTS journey with us.
:) for real thank you so much Marilyn! I love that you and your husband are in this together and going to live shows together! really hope to go to one some day!
I’m 42 and BTS is actually the first “boy band” I’m really into and devote my time to. Growing up I did enjoy listening to other pop groups but never felt a connection until BTS came along. They’re just so relatable and humble 😊
for real though I relate to this comment so much! same here! they are easy to enjoy once you get to know them and their music!
Never too much content. You won’t burn us out, just make sure you don’t burn yourself out!💜
heck yes butter!!!! I for sure don't see this burning me out, im having too much fun :)
This is the reason Army is so protective of them
They work hard for us and we work hard for them
Yes, JK is breaking the usual idol look. He has whole arm full of tattoos. AND ANYWAY, BTS is going to the White House to talk about anti-Asian hate crimes. Go BTS!!!
🙌🙌🙌 100% someone needs to talk about that I have some amazing Asian friends that I know personally who have been effected by hate crimes and it needs to stop. Go BTS!!
- XCeleste's videos are really good. I definitely agree that you should watch the hardships video because it's a huge part of their story but make sure it's the updated 2013-2021 version. Also, her video This is BTS ARMY might actually surprise you - they've truly influenced people and inspired a lot of philanthropic projects all around the world.
- They've spoken at the UN three times so far, the last time as presidentially appointed special envoys for future generations and culture (diplomatic passports and all). Just yesterday it was announced that they're meeting with President Biden at the White House to discuss combatting anti-asian hate crimes and to celebrate AANHPI Heritage month.
- I don't think you could ever make too much BTS content as far as ARMYs are concerned. 😄 A BTS week sounds freakin awesome. Feel free to ask for info or suggestions...
Loving your openminded BTS journey so far. They've really opened my mind to genres I would never have dreamt of listening to before BTS and as human beings they're just pure gold. 💜
:) for real thank you! I have been having a blast getting to know them as a band and their music, its all so much different than I would have assumed! I love to politically active they are for causes that really matter in the world. 100% will be checking out that video!
BTS have actually spoken at the UN 3 times. They’ve also performed at the UN general assembly recently. They’re going to be speaking at the White House on 31’st May on Asian hate crimes and Asian representation.
They have diplomatic passports so they’ll be acting in that capacity.
How amazing is it that they are going to be on Diplomatic Passports!? I love they are so influential and speak on such important subjects!
@@JohnReavesLive I think you also asked about their tattoos? JK has a full arm sleeve tattoos- from shoulder to knuckles. He also has a lip piercing ( he had an eyebrow piercing but it’s closed now).
Jimin also has a few tattoos. He has ‘Nevermind’ on his left rib cage ( It’s a song by Suga you should definitely check out) he has young on one arm(above his elbow) and forever on the other (Young forever is their song that is most close to his heart). He has 13 ( his birthday and the year of their debut) on his wrist. He has a moon tattoo on his neck. And he has youth behind his ear.
No other member has any tattoos. You can look at JKs tattoos if you google it though….
@@JohnReavesLive they even performed inside the UNGA, how great is that, you should react to that performance of Permission to Dance.
@@JohnReavesLive they get diplomatic passport when they get invited by korean president become a special president envoy to UN general assembly. So, in 2018 and 2020, they get invited by unicef as unicef general ambassador to give speech on UN general assembly. In 2021 it was invitation from korean president as special envoy. That why they gt diplomatic passport for that mission from president. But after they done that mission in UN general assembly, they p give back that diplomatic passport to the goverment.
"Most Beautiful Life Goes On (2022 update)" for a deep dive into each of them individually - along with a bit of history of K-Pop. Gentle humor included.
:) I for sure will check it out ! I love a little gentle humour lol!
coming VERY soon.
"THE RAISE OF BANGTAN" IS AMAZING! YOU SHOULD SEE THIS!
for sure will check it out soon!!! thanks for the suggestion!
That thing about you acknowledging that you were struggling might be one of the reasons you found BTS right now. The boys never turned away from being vulnerable on stage and with fans. I think they are not only examples to army but also to fellow musicians- and love that you won’t let yourself be determined about what other people might think of bts 🫶🏻
:) I think you just might be right Vivi!!! I appreciate you saying so and taking the time to watch my reaction!
I’ve been enjoying your reactions and content so much! Thank you for being so respectful and open minded!
And content everyday for the next 7 days? Hell yeah!!! Thank you for sharing your BTS journey with us :)
Jessa!!! for real thank you so much for saying so!!!! I am so excited to keep putting out new videos lol I literally get little pre show jitters before hitting publish now
I am 59 and I am proud to be an ARMY. I didn't discover them until the Dynamite Era but once I heard them I couldn't get enough.
Welcome to the MAGIC SHOP we guarantee you a happy place here in our purple ocean 💜 🥰
🙌🙌🙌 lol well I’m loving it all so far 100%
Amen, to your comments at the end about having an open mind. At the recent concerts they did in Vegas, V noticed that there were a lot more men in the audience than they were used to. So he asked them to cheer and this big roar went up. They were all so excited about that.
Re putting more BTS reactions up in a shorter period of time, I’d say that ARMY is pretty insatiable for thoughtful and open minded content.
The best individual members video I’ve seen is the Taylor Nakamoto one, it was a draft though so hope it’s still available.
Oh and apparently they are on their way to the White House next week to meet President Biden as part of Asian inclusion talks. 👌
Heck yes Kelly!!! I think they world is opening up to how awesome BTS is! sure there will always be some haters but if they just are open to it, they would appreciate them!
Such a humble group of guys! Love your reactions John and love the growth of your channel! Keep it up!!
thank you so much Michael! Really putting my whole self into this!
No such thing as too much content when it comes to BTS! My journey down this never ending rabbit hole started last year and I’m still finding things out about them and discovering songs I haven’t heard before! Enjoy the ride! They are just phenomenal!
Heck yes SmartAL I'm really enjoying the journey so far!!
It's ok, ARMY likes a lot of content!.. and no, there is no ARMY leader.. this is the most organized and good fandom that exists, someone proposes something, and if it has a good purpose, the word spreads quickly (mostly on Twitter) if it's to help BTS or anyone in need.
I wish you understand what I am saying, I am from Argentina (I speak Spanish). It's been a long time since I found someone as good as you reacting to BTS, I'm excited to see you upload new videos💜
:) For real you saying that just made me entire day! thank you so much! I really have loved every interaction ive had with the BTS Army :) Hope you have a blessed day!
Yeah exactly plus that we have big accounts dedicated for different things like charts, charity, news, pics, etc so that helps too but we don't consider them "leaders" they're armys just like all of us with the difference of having a bigger platform to spread things more easily within the fandom
Twitter ARMYs are the reason why we are this organized I think...They set goals for CB,they organize charity and all...They make the first step I think and we all follow...
@@bonobonoyaaa.....7729 yes and the fact that we all love the boys so much we know them the same way. we might have a bias but love them all and are eager to help them. it army got a sentence from a member we would know who said it. you can test it out if you like just for fun in a stream maybe so that no one can cheat. same goes for the music we know every little detail it´s actually crazy to witness a steam full of armys
I'm 33 years old, a lawyer, and I live in Brazil. I've always been a fan of rock, especially bands from the 80's/90's. In love with RHCP, I went to 2 shows of them in BR. And pop I liked a little, very superficially. Then at the end of 2020 I met BTS after a lot of resistance lol. I thought it was something canned, like western pop has been lately, and that it was a fanatical teenager thing. What made me a fan was the quality of the lyrics and the different melodies. You can already see that their production is on another level. It was also the amazing choreography and the whole SHOW that is watching MV or a concert of them. It's magic. But what really made me an ARMY was getting to know more about these boys as human beings. There was no way. I tell you that today there is no artist of the type in the West. In terms of values, principles and the type of message they have as a mission to convey. In addition to the relationship they built very closely, simply and honestly with their fan base, because we feel close to them. That's unique. So I'm very proud say that I'm Army. And honestly, even though I still love rock music, I'm honestly in saying that I can't fell the same for any of these artists, as much as I enjoy their work so much. I know that for those who don't know them and are outside, it's hard to understand how they managed to create such a huge and loyal fan base around the world, who defends them so hardly. There is always the impression that it is a fever, an explosion of crazy teenagers. But those who accept, like you, to overcome the barrier of musical prejudice, can understand that just by the quality of their work, this would already be justified.
I'm really enjoying your videos and I hope that somehow BTS can help you feel better, just like they helped me and millions of people around the world💜.
Bruna, for real thank you so much for sharing your story with me and already I can tell you just interacting with the BTS army has made a positive impact on my life, I have been surrounded by positivity and I feed off that, I love that ARMY does to :) they say you attract what you put out in the world and I really think thats whats happening here, just a big group of positivity!
LEARN all you can. YOU WILL ADMIRE AND APPRECIATE THEM FOR LIFE.
:) I for real am excited about it!
Thank you for you. I wanted to let you know I decided to support after watching you and your wife’s reaction to the event behind Spring Day. And it really seems like you grasp what the best thing about ARMYs is and that is community. Breaking the Stereotype is wonderful and it is in such great spirit. Recently you stated a thought, that you hoped when you react to other bands and music, that new subs (ARMYs don’t disappear. Well, this Pantera, Hatebreed, Afghan Whigs, Salt N Pepa and BTS fan will not go. As long as your love of life and music remains.
🥹🥹🥹 this comment just made my night! For real thank you so much! Hope you’re having an awesome day/night!
i've been a bts fan since 2017 and being a fan of them hasn't only made me into a better person but it's made me into a better version of myself
I can see that happening for sure! Surround yourself with positivity and you'll be more positive!
Thank you for your positive and enthusiastic yet thoughtful reactions! You have an infectious personality, like the BTS members. I am a 55 yo mom from Canada, who got introduced to BTS from her daughter and now the whole family loves them. They have been my antidote against the pandemic and craziness of the last two years. As for too much content, army say “Yes please” to that, but go at a good pace for yourself, no need to get burnt out. This journey is to be enjoyed….
Moumou thank you so much for saying so!!! I love doing these and hopefully my enjoyment is what you're seeing here! I am really stoked to be doing the week long intros!
Can’t wait to see them! Btw I just watched your reaction to House of Cards and appreciated your appreciation of Jin’s vocals 😊. His voice really shines in their Japanese songs too. The Jin fan cam of Crystal Snow live is incredible, highly recommended.
Damn I'm crying. I used to spend so much time watching people reacting to BTS.
Bts really saved me when I was going through depression for the first time. I felt so alone until I found out about them. They brought back my smile.
I'm 39 and from the States. I've been a metalhead for 20+ years, since high school. Until the pandemic hit I had never heard of BTS or Kpop in general. I randomly came across BTS content here on RUclips in 2020. Honestly, I wasn't a fan at first. It felt like such a jump from the music I had stuck with for so many years. But like a lot of people throughout Covid I was going through a really lonely time and I realized that with every new song I listened to I somehow wasn't feeling as isolated. It hit me that BTS was the reason I was feeling better about life. And it wasn't just their music, I dove head first into all the documentaries, Run BTS, In The Soop, their VLives, etc. I will ALWAYS love metal but a majority of it (in my opinion) is aggressive and violent and very in your face. Beyond their music, every member of BTS makes me feel better and makes me laugh, which I hadn't done in so long. In a similar way that RM and Suga had been accused of betraying hip hop I've been made to feel like I'm betraying metal, but that's not it at all. I simply needed a change. And BTS was the change I needed and I will never hesitate to defend our boys. 💜💜💜
Susanne for real I love how likeminded we are on this! Metal is such a mindset like all the lyrics I listen to are some what motivational and in your face and I think thats whats made me the person I am today just listening to these messages day after day, its made me a positive motivated person.
Im glad both of us opened up and gave BTS a chance!
what are some metal bands you listen to?
@@JohnReavesLive First, you know, if you really think about it BTS and a huge part of the metal genre actually share very similar lyrical content and ideologies. Basically "be yourself". Forget about trying to please others and forcing yourself to fit in with society, follow your own path and find happiness in being who you are.
Second, trying to list all the metal bands that I love is not an easy task 😬 I don't know that I could even limit it to a small list but here are some that have had a special place with me over the years and some that I've recently come to love (these are from all over the genre- some hardcore, goth/melodic, progressive, etc. and some are probably not even considered metal 🤷♀️ ): Opeth, Tool/A Perfect Circle, Soilwork, Nightwish, Narco Debut, Hanging Garden, Alexisonfire, The Black Dahlia Murder, Norma Jean, Circa Survive, Sons, Thrice, Enslaved, Killswitch Engage, Parkway Drive, Asking Alexandria (like pre 2010ish, before they made that crazy switch lol), and I'll stop there lol Maybe you'll find some more new music from this list!
BTS will be at the White House next week to join President Joe Biden for a special conversation about anti-Asian hate, as well as inclusion and representation. THEY MAKE US SO PROUD OF THEM AS ALWAYS BTS NEVER DISAPPOINT THIS UNIVERSE 💜 😇
I am so happy they are being a voice for this message! I have a few Asian friends that are the most amazing people I know and it’s horrible to think they have been effected by hate crimes.
@@JohnReavesLive ikr.🥺 luckily this world has BTS because their influence is putting a better place for each and everyone we can't find an artist who will be able to do this kind of thing 🥺 this is so deep that's why I keep saying that BTS is the true definition of Artist that worth to support and loved💜
@@JohnReavesLive I totally agree. Friends are friends regardless of race, religion, gender, skin color, etc.
The world needs more good hearted and open minded people like BTS and you. That's why we want RM to run for president 🤗. I love your enthusiasm and that you're open to new things in general. I think it's a great idea to do more BTS videos. Army never gets tired of watching the boys, we have watched almost every video dozens of times. Don't worry, Borahae 💜🤗
You already know we love long videos. BTS has trained us too well. Love folks getting to see the fact they really are passionate musicians and a true underdog story.
Right!?!? I like their music is amazing but their story and lyrics are really what has pulled me in!
You can never ever ever ever do too much content of BTS for Army.
You can never ever ever ever make videos too long.
I am silver Army I am 60. I thoroughly love their music. A lot it reminds me of the music I grew up with. I was actually tired of music out there because everyone started to sound the same. I was bored with it.
I came across BTS while searching for something not even related to music. They revitalized my love for music again.
You said you appreciate some of their songs but it’s not a genre you normally listen to. The more you go down this rabbit hole you will find your taste change. A song you may not like at first will become a song on your playlist. The more you understand lyrics and meaning behind the songs they become your favorites. Hehe
Thanks for reacting to this video.

For real I totally agree with that statement how my taste will change, I’ve found myself listen back to these songs even the more pop songs! So for sure it’s all love and respect on my end for them!
Can’t wait to follow your journey. So much positivity and good music, we all need this! You can react and post as much BTS as you like and you’ll have a big ARMY audience, so don’t worry. I’m a 59 yo ARMY who only found BTS last year. I grew up on Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath. They say BTS finds you when you need them most, and it’s certainly true for me. 💜
Karina I love your message and love the bands you grew up on!!! there's such a diverse group here and its been amazing to meet everyone! I really have loved every moment in the bts rabbit hole!!!
omg no how is more content from you a bad thing.
WE LOVE YOU SO AS LONG AS YOU ARE FINE WITH IT WE'D BE THE HAPPIEST:)
:) heck yes Stephanie!!! I'm really looking forward to getting these videos out!!
I'm proud of you bro keep killing it! 10K by mid June!
dude!!!! that would be amazing!!! lol we were at 800 just like 3 weeks ago!?!? who knows!!?!?
Thank you for taking the time to get to know the boys 😊. You will find that they are genuine, kind & generous. I'm 59 y/o with 3 adult children from the Philippines and I love BTS like my own children bec of their personalities and respectfulness toward others which is a good role model for young generations and their music especially their lyrics speak to me and help me get through my own challenges in life so I thank the bi-lingual volunteers also for their efforts and time.
Lisa thank you so much for taking the time to watch my reaction and the comment!!! I really have loved getting to know the BTS army and boys! I agree, the lyrics are a lot of what's brought me into BTS
New sub…62 yrs old…Canada….I believe BTS transcends any artist I’ve heard…it’s refreshing to see a group who promotes goodness, love, and acceptance and you don’t see that in North America….so welcome to Army…💜💜💜
:) Mee for real thank you so much for being here!!!! I am loving the journey so far and love meeting all you amazing ARMY!!!
@@JohnReavesLive lol…watching you as we speak…
64 yrs old, Oregon but was born in Seoul. Came to USA @ 9 weeks old
:) heck yes! thank you so much for watching Hope you have a great day!
I can never get burned out on BTS (I mean, I have a BTS logo tattoo on my arm and my entire bedroom/living room is BTS (with a few other bits of kpop sprinkled in). I’m 36 years old, was 33 when I got into them. I have people in my life who are always saying I have an unhealthy problem, but the whole reason I am happy, motivated and able to get through my mental illness because of them. If friends can’t support that they’re not friends. Seeing their journey and their struggles helps appreciate these guys even more. The fact they’ve stayed humble this whole time says a lot about them as well. 💜
We can never have to much BTS!!! As long as you promise not to get yourself burned out. I enjoy watching your genuine reaction and hearing you understand the little things about their music. I get so excited when someone new comes around and actually takes the time to get to know the guys and realize what absolutely talented they are. The good they do and still remain so humble. I’m in my 40’s and was brought into this world when they first came out due to having a teenage daughter and her sitting me down and having me watch them and read what they were saying. So thank you for taking the time for them and I can’t wait for this journey with you. 💜💜💜
ah heck yes! and for real it means the world to me to have as amazing people as the BTS army with me while I go down this rabbit hole! I've loved every min of it!
Been watching and loving your journey. I originally loved metal and alt rock then found BTS who have helped me thru a hard part in my journey. Can not lie when I say I am finding myself more and more with every step, proud to be ARMY and have found BTS. Thanks to both I'm here with my kiddos, safe and finding myself. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
:) Heck yes Tam for real I love that you are your kids both can watch these!!
I was lucky to have been able to watch them at sofi(day4) and vegas (day2) and I will cherish those concerts forever.
I love the videos you put out on BTS. It's fun seeing another person's journey into discovering the guys and their music and vast content. I also appreciate how respectful you (and your viewers) are and openminded about them. Lookin forward to seeing more of your videos! Keep 'em coming!
for real Kayc thank you so much!!!
Army enjoys seeing people appreciating BTS. I’m here for the ride/rabbit hole. I love what you do.
thank you so much Kimberly!!! I really love the whole ride so far!!
Love, love this reaction.. I’m looking forward to your future reactions of bts. Also it’s true there’s actually a bunch of metal and rock fans that are also fans of BTS’s it’s pretty cool.
:) for real thank you so much for saying so! I love doing these and learning more bout this awesome freaking band!
WELL SAID FELLA. LOOKING FORWARD TO 1ST JUNE. UK
:) Thank you so much Susan!!! really excited about it too!!!!!
45 y.o. ARMY Metalhead....as long as you are making videos &having fun/enjoying yourself I'll watch. They have SO much cool stuff. I've never gotten tired of any of it in over 5 years.
The Rise of Bangtan series is the best ARMY-made docu about the story of the boys. It was soooo well made that it deserves to be in Netflix. The creators are professional editors and have been following the BTS journey from the start. You'll definitely learn a lot about kpop music in whole and the genuineness and purity of BTS since day 1. I hope you can do check it out!! Please! I am now binge watching your BTS reactions. Thank you so much 💜
All the documentaries are fun to see and worthwhile watching as they contain info not covered in exactly the same way as the others. I think you will find most ARMY will happily watch them all along with you. I really enjoy watching people new to BTS discover the depth and extent of this group!
:) for real thank you for the suggestion Gretchen! and I really hope to see you in future comments! I love doing these reactions and learning more about them!
I’m 87 and my kids got a bang out of my fan ship. They bought me Butter as encouragement. My exercise program is dancing to BTS. I love all their music and have even learned to listen to rap. Rock on BTS.
I've literally just discovered your channel thanks to this reaction, and to be honest, this made me tear up, your reactions and authenticity towards bts reminded me of when I had just discovered bts back in 2017/18 and the fascination I had at the time, I would really reccomend checking out the history of bts' hardships as unfortunantly they have had to deal with a lot in the past, and still do.
Thanks again for your reaction and I will be looking forward to your future reactions! 💜
This is definitely on the schedule and coming soon! Thank you so much for your comment and suggestion!
There isn't an ARMY "leader" separate from BTS. You see, we're all able to get along despite how different we all are because of our love and enthusiasm for BTS. We want the best for them so it's really a community effort. It's amazing to see millions of people just come together for a collective goal. One of my favorite moments was when the whole fandom was feeling down because of an event then there was an impromptu streaming party on stationhead. Out of nowhere 200k+ people from all over the world joined the BTS streaming party. And the numbers would have been larger (stationhead requires a premium spotify account) the rest streamed along via updates on twitter. It was amazing and so inspiring to see so much people come together for one group. So many memorable moments, even the fandom screaming about something and accidentally trending. Many happy moments, many sad moments but BTS kept us together.
For the member intro I suggest the one by Taylor Nakamoto, it's informative and the most up to date. I also recommend the most beautiful moment in life by Rice squad and the Rise of Bangtan series all are totally amazing.
You are a great reactor. Thank you so much for doing this. Subscribed.
Wendyl!!!! for real thank you so much for saying so and for checking out my reactions!!! Welcome to the Fam!!!!
Wow! I love to see honest and open minded reactions. I do hope, as you, that more people will be positive about at least listening to different genres of music as well as experiencing many cultures. Occasionally, I still get a little flack from some people about my love of Kpop and Kdrama after 15yrs. Yes, it has been a minute, but I am never disappointed.BTS is something special altogether and I will be happy to accompany you with you down this rabbit hole as long as you create content . Any content! 💜
:) for real holly thank you so much for saying that! I really have loved everything ive seen so far and cant wait to keep seeing more! I really appreciate the company as I venture down the rabbit hole! Hope you have a blessed and awesome day!
Another awesome thing to watch is a fan-made documentary series called Rise of Bangtan. It goes into a lot of detail and depth. It's a really good look at the members and everything they went through to get where they are today.
Oh this is definitely on the list! :)
For sure will be checking this out!! cant wait!!
It's a pride to be part of the fandom of a group of young people who not only offer quality music, songs and shows, but are also the most wonderful, simple and humble people. They have also managed to have a great social, cultural and political influence (some are scared by the word but BTS has made politics by criticizing the system in a song, by allying with Unicef, by going to the UN, etc) at a global level.
As for Army, there is no formal organization; Through various social network accounts we can know what is happening, goals, projects, etc. When Army mentions "our leader" you can understand that it's RM.
Regarding tattoos, in South Korea only health professionals with a specific license can legally perform them, so many of the places where they are performed are illegal. Also, although society has been changing, they are still not well seen by everyone, so many media have strict rules so that idols must cover them to appear on their screens.
Jungkook used to wear long sleeves and often covered his hand, but now it's very common to see him with short sleeves or no sleeves showing the tattoos on his arm; another one who has some tattoos is Jimin.
By the way, they already recommended Taylor Nakamoto's intro, which is very good and one of the most up-to-date; although there are some details that are missing (it is still a draft), for example she does not mention all those who practice instruments, she only does it in 2 boys and at least 5 of them do.
Really cant wait to see that video! I've only heard good about it so I know its worth the watch!!! Its crazy how the perspective of tattoos is different in other areas of the world, in America, or the South of America, they dont hire people with tattoos you can see, so ive been denied jobs before because of my tattoos and now that I own my own business, I still have to cover them up sometimes before going to appointments
@@JohnReavesLive Unfortunately there are still many prejudices about it.
Personally I don't like them and I would never make one, but they are personal tastes that have nothing to do with socioeconomic or academic level, so they shouldn't deny jobs or even access to some places to those who have them.
V looked so surprised at selling so many albums without bundles. Nice Easter egg, perfect timing. 💜
LOL right!?!?!? heck yes!!! thank you so much for sticking through the whole video!!!! V is awesome!
Thank you so much for your open minded and embrace something out of your regular musical journey. You have a lot of positivity that coming through.
Absolutely love your reactions. Don’t worry there is never such thing as “too much” content for army. I literally know most of the introduction and funny videos etc word by word because I just love watching people discover them. Just please make sure that you are not overworking yourself. 7 videos in 7 days seems like a lot so please take care.
:) for real Maggie thank you so much! I am really stoked to see all these videos and to do these reactions!
Nice job! They are healing. Most of us discovered BTS while going thru a hard time in our lives and it greatly helped us. Mine was my father dying
So sorry to hear about your father passing, glad to have you here though and I hope that by us talking about these things it helps both of us deal with them!
Yes, please react to each member. It will be a treat. Thank you for appreciating BTS 💜💜💜
Heck yes!!! I cant wait to do it Mirna
There is No such thing as a lot of content as long as you’re doing it and enjoying yourself. I have been enjoying myself watching your videos. Thank you for your genuine reaction.
Joevee thank you so much!!! I love doing these!
I've been so excited for this I'm so glad you're getting into them as people they are such genuine men ✨
:) they really are! for real thank you so much Jessica!
I'm a bit older so I loved bands like Nirvana, Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails, along with a lot of old school rappers. I loved these bands because they were emotionally authentic. Imagine my surprise when my daughter introduced me to BTS and I saw that same level of emotional honesty and authenticity. It's something I've never really seen in a 'pop' band before. I love having my preconceptions shattered like that.
To be honest John. I think your idea of concentrating on the individual members like that is brilliant. I haven't seen anyone else do something quite like that, but I think it's a really good way to get to know each of the members. And I am definitely looking forward to seeing your videos.
The first BTS content I watched was a reaction video to "On" The Kinetic Manifesto Film version; which I absolutely loved. Then I discovered "Daechwita" by Agust D (Suga). Which led me to the song "Agust D" - which is...wow. Then I started looking up things about them, found a few introduction videos, and compilations, and quickly realized what amazing young men they are. Listened to more of their music, and haven't stopped. It's been about 9 months now, and I wish I had found them earlier.
And you are right, their are a lot of 'mature' Army out their. More than a lot of people realize. I am a 53 year old woman from New Zealand, and I am grateful for all the content on RUclips, because you don't hear about BTS here.
You didn't pick the most flattering picture for the easter egg, did you? I remember the Run BTS episode that shot comes from. It is hilarious. One day you might want to check some of them out too. Some of them had me in tears laughing. And it's a great way to learn more about their personalities.
I love you videos, and I want to thank you for sharing your thoughts, and your time, with us. Thank you John. Borahae 💜💐💜
Leah for real thank you so much for the comment! I really am looking forward to doing the BTS week!! cant wait to learn more about them all and to hear more of their solo stuff! I love how diverse the army is its been great getting to know everyone!
and heck yes!!! lol Easter eggs will always be funny pictures for sure :)
Love your reactions, do the videos at your pace what ever pace that may be. Can't wait for more videos!!!
heck yes Wendy!!! for real thank you!! idk what it is but the last few days im like.... I really want to hear more!!! lol so dont be surprised if I start posting a ton more! just know im having a blast doin it
It’s never too much when it comes to Bts, they are known for their massive content and we watch every single one of their videos, it’s not even enough. It’s the same with the reactors we like
Love your reaction to this. The one she made about the Army is also SO good.
BTS had a concert some months ago in LA and I read where ARMYs had flown in from 63 countries!!!!!!!💜
This is BTS ARMY is definitely on the list... just trying to figure out where to put it into the schedule! Thanks for your suggestion!
Cant wait to see this!!! how amazing they are fully world wide!!
There's never too much BTS for us. Can't wait!!!!
Heck yes!!!
It will never burns us out, as long as you are ok reacting to that much we are here for it! That’s one statement I feel confident ARMY as a whole would agree with💜
lol heck yes Shannon!!! I think after reading a ton of comments the Army agrees!!! lol
I thought u were going to react to the members intoduction at first hahahaha! Thankyou for the video! looking forward to more reactions from ur channel! it has been very fun!
thank you so much Alessia!!!!
🔥🔥🔥 do it man! 14 videos in 7 days!!
🙌🙌🙌
Yes getting to know each individual is great. They all are awesome
Really stoked to find out more about them all soon!!!
I've just watched all of your BTS reactions...loved them and have subscribed. Hi from Australia, 57yo ARMY grandma. Looking forward to being on your BTS journey with you🙋🏾♀️💜
:) thank you so much for being here with me on this journey!!! I am loving every moment of it!!!!
Love your reactions and as long as your reactions are honest, I will be here. I will never get tired of anyone loving on my guys!! Also love the way you’re going about watching and reacting. Welcome to the army and enjoy this journey down the rabbit hole!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Heck yes!!
Ahh heck!!
Never enough. 💜 Fun fact. Bang ShiHyuk is an accomplished musician, songwriter, and producer himself and has contributed to many of their songs. As the company grew so did his responsibilities....just last year he stepped down from the newly established ipo conglomerate of entertainment entities under their umbrella to return to running Big Hit music and work exclusively with the boys. (He smartly separated Big Hit musicbto protect BTS). BTS has had the same small tight team that has worked with them since day 1. 💜
And we are all ARMY. No leaders. We just work together through social media... esp Twitter.
I love that!!! for real thats how things should be ran!
Oh they have an introduction to the bts army as well it's called this is bts army its an introduction to us basically. Omg yes Jungkook has a sleeve on the same arm he has army on his hand and there incredible.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 I love tattoos!! Lol and I would love to check that video out!
@@JohnReavesLive there are a few of him in vlive where his tattoos show or there online concert they did it's called swoozoo I'll send you both links lmao 🤣
@@JohnReavesLive ruclips.net/video/Gg3AKW4a9gY/видео.html
@@JohnReavesLive ruclips.net/video/N2ChYsPcQW4/видео.html
18:51 he didn't say thats why he doesn't do tv shows he said that 'its not that he don't like doing Tv shows, but he thinks concerts are the reason he is in BTS'
ah!!! lol well that makes more sense now lol!
Welcome to BTS and Army glad to have you apart of the family.
l'm 58yr old love what they believe and stand for.
Subscribed! thank you for genuinely liking the whole bts process.... i am sooooo proud to be a bts army..... i hope you can watch one of their concerts one day..... bts will surely be happy to see male armies growing in numbers.....
Matet!!! thank you so much for the sub!! welcome to the Fam!!!! I really hope one day I can make it to a live show!
The "Freaking TOODLES!" cracks me up every time 😂
Also V scream-face?
This intro is a great overview of the group, most of the other intro videos you'll get requests for (Ida S. & Taylor's) are more member specific. They're both fabulous. Can't wait for the 7 day member marathon!
lol heck yes!!! its my favorite way of saying goodbye! such a lost word! and it was!!! thank you so much for watching the whole video!!!!
Really excited about watching the other intros!
you’re amazing!!! thank you for taking your time reacting to them 💜
:) thank you Blossom!!!!
When it comes to BTS there is no concept of too much concept....Army love to see genuine reactors undertaking the journey of knowing them....appreciate your honesty and knowledge :)
:) for real thank you so much! I'm looking forward to doing many more reactions and learning more about BTS
When is come to BTS is never too long or enough ,can’t wait for it .. I know already I will have 7 amazing days .. thank you to react to our 7 precious kings love it 💜
:) Thank you so much! im really excited to do it!
i have just started watching you and i love your perspective as a musician! thank you for your work and time, keep up the great reactions. ♥️♥️
:) for realt thank you so much for saying so!! I love doing these!
I recommend watching “BTS medley live performance @ tokyo dome”. Gives you snips of some of their songs and great live performance.
ah that would be awesome!!!! Do you know what all songs they play on it?
Xceleste has another video ‘this is ARMY’ that can explain a lot more about the fandom.
Heck yes Tracy! going to check that out for sure!!
This is BTS ARMY is definitely on the list... I'm just trying to find a spot in the schedule. :)
Enjoyed this reaction! I love your enthusiasm and positivity. Never too much content for us ARMY, looking forward to it.
:) thank you so much Vix!!!!!
No need to worry about too much contents. We can handle it as long as you don't get burned out. I'll watch as long as they are good contents. I have always enjoyed watching reactors learn about BTS.
:) heck yes EMC!!!! I am so excited to see these videos!
sneaking V in your video this time I see, haha I love it when you do that, also great picture you chose 🤣
LOL thank you so much! I love doing them!!!
and thank you for sticking around through the whole video!
🙌🙌🙌 do it John! 2 videos a day!!
🙌🙌 heck yes!!
Love your reactions especially BTS, the more the better 💜
Marcy thank you so much for watching and saying so :) I love doing these!
i’ll never get burned out watching bts videos so i’m definitely excited to watch them with you 🙌🏼💜
It is a known fact that BTS and ARMY are obsessed with each other. Its grossly cute. I have never seen a connection like we have. If you haven't already I'd follow them on Instagram at least. Thats probably the main line of communication now besides weverse. It use to be twitter but they abandoned us over there lmao. Also, yeah no main ARMY leader we're just really connected on twitter and word spreads FAST. oh and if you get the bts logo we'll be matching bc I'm getting the same one soon! Lots of people in the fandom have it actually.
OHHH and, sorry for the long reply, definitely never too much BTS content. BTS are notorious for putting out a lot of stuff all the time. We've learned to keep up lmao! and its never too long either! I promise you ARMY will 100% sit through any length of video if its of or about BTS. I actually prefer longer stuff tbh. The boys have spoiled me on that front.
heck yes Shelby!!!! thats awesome! and honestly Idk if we'll get the 50k yet but I love tattoos and felt like that could be a fun community challenge!!!
I'm one who loved Deep Purple, Incubus and Silverchair and many more fell in love with BTS. Seriously these boys now men are geniuses and gifted in their craft. May they continue to heal the world through their music and live journeys.
:) I totally agree Marie! thank you so much for checking out my reaction and I hope to see you in future comments!
