LOL 😂! BTS is NOT your typical boyband they are way beyond that! Don't forget the "Beatles" were considered a "boyband" too. And, BTS sings & raps about real shit going on in their life and the world, etc. They are NOT afraid to challenge the establishment. Which is one of the reasons the "K-POP" industry tried everything to shut BTS out in their early years.. Honestly, I do not consider BTS "K-POP" at all. They transcended "K-POP" a long time ago. 💜
@@ReactionsThatRockI did too in the beginning 😄. I'm 59 and I've been to so many concerts in my lifetime, from Fleetwood Mac to Justin Timberlake, and every genre in between. I was lucky enough to go to a BTS concert in Las Vegas in 2022, and of all the concerts I've ever been to (and there were ALOT), BTS was by FAR the most amazing concert and experience I've ever had at a concert. These guys are special, and I don't say that lightly. I tend to be a skeptic, and boy they changed my whole perception. 💜
@@ReactionsThatRockplease let me clarify. BTS’ pillars meaning the one who wrote most of their songs are the rapline who are the ones NOT KPOP. Jungkook and Jimin are the generic kpop. They are the typical kpop idol. No input to their songs. And yes jimin adding a line is not him writing his own songs. Army loves to exaggerate and could not admit the others are industry plants and overrated. The rapline are the real artists of the group.
I think you'd enjoy the live performance from his Lollapalooza concert. The live band was a lot heavier in the rock element and so was JHope. It was awesome.
@ReactionsThatRock Here's a link to it. It includes a short intro he had at the concert ruclips.net/video/c63dHydFWpo/видео.htmlsi=T70NQrEu0CbyvIzy It's the Into and the song More only. Like 4 minutes
@@ReactionsThatRock I recommend listening to his album first with the lyrics (there's lyrics channels) to appreciate the concert more. Album: Jack in the Box.
Ha, ha, they do it all. They sing various genres (heavy core rap, r&b, neo-soul, jazz, edm, ballad, latin-pop...) and they do sing bubble gum pops too. Their fans are from toddlers to 90+ from all over the world with various professions. From 65 yrs young Army.
the only really bubble gum were the songs written by english speakers from UK. Dynamite and Boy with Love. both are well performed, catchy not too gooey, and their performance is excellent.
Jhope killed Lollapalooza! If you consider doing long reaction (which armys will watch for sure). You will be in for a treat, he is absolute beast on stafe and the rock arrangement of songs makes it even more fire!
I may have to do that! I’m still getting my bearings with this channel but my goal is to get to a point where I’m doing a song reaction a day. I’d then like to do at least one additional reaction to a full concert or an interview or something a little bit longer. Awesome recommendation! Thank you!!! 💜😎🔥
@@ReactionsThatRock You won't regret watching j-hope's Lollapalooza set. I swear! I was there in person and he absolutely smashed that performance. It was so awesome!
Hobi-palooza is, to me, a huge moment in the history of music in America. Highest-ever sales for a headliner. An artist who combines styles and rides beats like no one else. When you see him perform “What If?” you will understand what I am trying to say here. He finishes his stint in the army in October, and I am counting the days. 🎶
j-hope is the most versatile Korean artist, he is even better in live performances, he is the best dancer too. He loves 90's hiphop and streetdancing aside from singing rock music.
Korean is a notoriously difficult language to rhyme. He is a genius with middle and end rhyming. There's a Korean literature professor who translated this song with context and was writing about how j-hope's rhyming and references are genius. When his translation website is up and running I'll have to link it here.
That’s amazing! I have a Korean friend and he told me a while back that most Korean music that rhymes uses internal rhyme or a near rhyme (like if we rhymed “great” with “hay”… close, but not quite). Despite any comments I may or may not have made here, it was still incredible word use and I am really interested in seeing someone dig in to it so when there’s a link… I’m here for it! 💜😎🔥
BTS definitely don't limit themselves to a box. They can do ultra happy pop to a introspective dark song all on 1 album. Even the decision to go on a group hiatus before military to do more individuals projects was partially to hve time to explore themselves more & able to come back together into new era of BTS music in 2025. We thought things would slow down for Army but it ampted up 7 fold 😂 Even this Jhope was a surprise musically for us (always knew he had a dark side) as he is known to be brighter and East coast hiphop feel. Linkin Park was one of my fav bands growing up and this just gave me all those feels again. Recommend 2022 Lalapalooza where he headlined. The largest crowd for the festival and he thought we wouldn't show up 😆
@@ReactionsThatRock just so you are prepared, You will find a few of their songs that will kind of fit into the box of what you were thinking about their music. Keep in mind that those are generally all in English and were released during COVID and were meant to simply be uplifting happy songs to help people through lockdowns. They were also the first songs to break into the western market in a significant way. But those are not indicative of their 400 plus songs and their 10-year discography.
Lollapalooza is great! the song More is from his recent album Jack in the Box. Maybe try Arson next (also j-hope) and if you want to check out a few other of the members maybe try Haegum or Daechwita by Agust D (aka Suga of BTS) or UGH! by the 3 BTS rappers(RM, Suga and j-hope). Lots more to recommend but I will pause there. All the guys are great solo and as a group. Lots to discover.
We BTS fans have been telling people for years to not sleep on BTS music and their talent and so many brush us off by saying nope they are probably nothing more than another manufactured pop boy band singing cute and happy love songs. These guys have been grinding for over 10 years as a group and they deserve all the success in the world. But because of all these preconceived notions people don't give them a chance.
I agree! Honestly if I’d not decided to do this channel I’d probably never have checked them out on my own for those very same preconceived notions. So happy I did though! 💜😎🔥
There's a video essay called "BTS are Rock Stars" by Boracity Magazine. The creator is a rock/metal fan and she explains the similarities she sees between BTS and rock/metal bands, which made her a BTS fan. Towards the beginning, she includes a compilation of song snippets by BTS or the members that are rock-inspired. I'm sure there will be songs among them that you'll want to hear in full.
I'm a rock and metal fan. And I'm a crazy BTS fan! I have been an ARMY for 7 years. Ah yes - and I'm 50 years old. I don't listen to K-pop, I tried - it doesn't work. It strikes me that most BTS fans are middle age (and there are a lot of men too) - no race, gender or age. These are connoisseurs of good music.. I would love to see your reaction to the above quoted Boracity video.
@@ReactionsThatRockYes please! If you have time, check out Boracity Magazine videos. She does a lot of research for her video essays! She's a rock star 💜
J-hope is definitely my favorite member (although I of course still love them all too). He's really inspired by a lot of old school rap and hip hop, he was also a really talented streetdancer before he was in BTS. This song is from his 2nd album 'Jack in the box' which is a darker sound from his 1st album 'Hope World', he wanted to explore a different side of himself which is usually very happy and cheerful (or at least, that's how he always preferred to portray himself to everyone). I know people have been spamming you with Lollapalooza requests, but it's really great and I would watch absolutely the entire thing if you did upload it lol. I don't know if you'd want to go through his songs first before doing it or just watch the concert first, but the live arrangements are slightly different from the original songs and it's worth checking out both versions either way. He was also the first Korean artist to headline a major U.S. music festival and I'm proud of him for that lol. Also, the second half of the show is more dance heavy than the first half but it's still really fun. The official upload doesn't really have subtitles, but these ones do (it's in 2 parts) ruclips.net/video/BDhHGIYY5HY/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/ler3CbM9aoI/видео.html
Thanks so much for the infos and links! I’m definitely going to be doing this, it’s just a matter of time. There soooooo many songs and guides! I dig a dark vibe so Jack in the Box sounds like a solid album. Perhaps I’ll have Amazon mail me a cd! 💜😎🔥
I'm a former radio person, too, and i have seen A LOT of artists in my time. These guys are just phenomenally talented. They're like the 1993 Chicago Bulls, except they're all Michael Jordan. You are in for a treat! The fandom is literally the largest in the world and can be a bit intimidating at first, but they have such a warm spirit and genuinely love introducing people to BTS. Enjoy the journey!!
@@ReactionsThatRock Totally tangential funny story--I went to Turkey for the 1999 total eclipse of the sun, and ended up in a town called Sivas, east of Ankara, not a place with a lot of western tourists. So our group got surrounded in the market with folks who just wanted to talk to us, though few English speakers. One guy had a Bulls jersey on, so we said "Michael Jordan!", thinking he'd respond happily. But he just gave a raspberry and said, "no, no--Scotty Pippin!"
If you were stuck on an island and chose BTS’ works, you’ll have almost everything you need in their catalog. I remember I was going through a hard time including feeling of frustration/injustice with changes at work (losing my boss) & having to sit through 1.5 hrs of traffic going home some years ago, I listened to their early hip hop a lot in the commute home to unleash how I feel. BTS would understand how I feel since they lived thru injustice and dealing with jerks. But if you just wanna vibe to R&B or jazzy stuff, there are those, especially nice on rainy days. If you want, pop whether edgy or sweet, they have it. If you want EDM, they definitely have that. If you want Latin vibes or rock vibes, they have that. I think it’s easy to think they are one thing if you only listen to one song. Even if you listen to three songs, you still will not be able to grasp everything that they do. They are music lovers and also sincere in their writing.
j-hope happened. :) This was his debut solo era and he wrote & composed all 10 songs from his album Jack in The Box. He said in hjs Disney + documentary , j-hope IN THE BOX, “you know how BTS makes music , but you don’t know how j-hope makes music”and this is what he showed us, a critically acclaimed album rated Top 9 Best Albums by Rolling Stone in 2022. You are just scratching the surface now, when you dive into the translation of his lyrics , it will blow your mind! The best thing, he learned to rap & compose music starting 2010, his foundation is street dancing and it came out in his rapping style, the best satisfying flows. You will know it’s him in songs of BTS, very distinct! Like the music is so good already then here he comes with his delivery that just makes it perfect! You should check out his Lollapalooza set in 2022. He became the first Korean Artist to headline the event. Check out the whole album Jack In The Box including ARSON , his song 1verse samples from El Chapo is fire too! Then his rapline performances with his fellow raplines - Cyphers, Ugh, DDAENG 👌🏼 j-hope is always for quality music with 138 songs credited under his belt, he is 1/3 of the musical pillars of BTS who created the great songs they have in earlier albums! His stage presence is unrivaled and he is also the dance leader of their group. Immensely talented, you’ll never regret diving down the rabbit hole of Hope World 🔥 here a good website translating BTS songs doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/?s=More
That’s what made me ARMY. I saw a video of him performing this at lollapalooza in 2022… I fell immediately into the rabbithole but bts and army make you fly instead 💜 I had the same prejudices and I deeply regret not checking them out earlier. Army are defending them since ever, want them to be recognized and respected for what they do. Bts finds you at the right time. Great reaction 💜
J-hope is my bias! If I start talking about him I’ll never shut up so all I’m gonna say is You’re definitely in for a Long journey dude….he’s the whole package. A PHENOMENAL performer and artist.
Oh yeah, I’ve got a mountain of music to climb and I’m pretty sure the moment I get a cloudless glimpse of the summit, all the new music will be coming out. 💜😎🔥
Yes, Hobi and all the other guys are extremely devoted to ARMY and have wrote songs just for us. Even knowing they were going to enlist into the military they wrote "Take Two" in advance to gift ARMY on our 10 anniversary. They are also a very tight group that have become brothers and family. When Hobi was in the military and couldnt promote his own solo album, the other 6 did it for him, even with them also releasing solo albums. I have been ARMY going on 4 years now, and i can tell you, they pulled me out of some tough spots.
One of the rockiest tracks BTS have done as a group is Come Back Home. It’s a stand alone single and there is an official music video. It’s one of my favourites, I think you will enjoy it. Another one is Ma City. There are several live performances with English subtitles. Enjoy!
The beauty of BTS is their flexibility in approaching music. They explore and blend whatever fits the project from harder rock to jazz or classical so I’ve never been bored. They also have deep concepts and meaningful lyrics. Jhope knocked it out if the park on this album and blew Lolapalloza away as the headliner. Love this went harder.
j-hope's solo music is not your typical BTS music. He really jumped out of that box & blessed us with an amazing album & an outstanding performance at Lollapalooza.
55 year old ARMY here. I discovered BTS in 2020 during the midst of COVID pandemic and they helped me deal with the situation. Your channel came to my feed today and I’ve been binge watching. I have to comment when it comes to my bias. He is very versatile. He raps, sings, dances, leads, and best of all he is our sunshine. 💜
Thanks so much! I’m a young channel at just over 100 days in but I do hope to learn so much more about music I’ve avoided most of my life! It’s so much better than I thought it could be!!!
Enjoyed your reaction. Love it when BTS break the mould for people every single time. If you want more like this from Jhope please check Arson and I also recommend RMs songs, Do you or Joke, Sugas songs Daechwita, Haegum, Amygdala. Vs new mini album is fantastic. Pick anything from him to get a feel for his much more smooth crooning jazz sound and Jins beautiful tribute until we meet again song titled The Astronaut. The thing about BTS is that individually they are superstars and when together, it's just magic.
j-hope is my bias. I've been a fan for many years and love his music so much. I love how he ended "MORE" bc he left me wanting more. Arson is a beautiful track. Lolla and MAMA Awards are so good yet very different!
I love that, even as a Rapper Hobi has a growly delivery. Especially with his latest Jack in the Box songs and performances. If you check out BTS Dance Practice for BTS Run (their most recent release) you'll get a good feel for the Rap/Rock sounds they mixed in with solid vocals. They dance their a$$es off too. All the members are completing their mandatory military service rn, I think Jhope only has about 9 months left. They'll all be back by 2025.
I was really impressed and surprised with his vocal style. It had a much harder emotional rock edge than I was expecting and I cannot wait to dive in to more!!! 💜🔥😎
Unfortunately, BTS doesn't have too many "rock" songs. However, they do have songs with rock elements in the music production that you may like. Most of them are B sides. (but aren't the best songs usually B sides) Here are my suggestions. If they have official music videos available, I Marked them with *MV. If they don't you can look up color coded lyric videos. That way you can see the translations and also it shows who's singing based on the font color. 💜 • Louder Than Bombs • Am I Wrong • ON *MV • Dionysus • Run BTS (Not to be confused with Run which is another song) • Boy in Love *MV • Fake Love *MV (There is a rock version of this song but it doesn't have a MV) • Lie (BTS song but only Jimin is on this one) • Stop (J Hope - Live Lollapalooza version) One last note, not all, but many of their live performances are with a live band and are more rock sounding. In fact, the BTS Tiny Desk Concert has a live band and sounds great. Also lets you see a bit more of their personalities and live vocals. Thanks for checking out our guys 💜
I don’t specifically need rock songs. I actually started this channel to move out of my rock and roll bubble a bit. I can’t help it if the rock songs bring the views. 🤣 Thanks for these recommendations! I’ll be jumping in!!! 💜🔥😎🤘
Thanks for your wonderful reaction. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Our sunshine Hobi (Jhope) is very versatile and talented. He has been dancing since he was a small kid and even won a national competition. He is the main dancer and dance leader of the group. He is considered among the best dancers in Kpop. Please watch react to his song "Arson". You will surely like it. BTS offers a wide range of genres when it comes to their music. As a group they are explosive (23 Guinness world records, numerous other accolade and world records as a group) but they are also individually amazing in their different style of music. They make a wide variety of genres of music like Hip-hop, Ballad, R&B, pop, EDM, etc. I'm sure there are quite a few of their over 300 songs that suit your taste. :) BTS are famous for their deep and meaningful lyrics. They have written almost 95% of their songs from their discography. I think this video is the best to understand each BTS member. A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7 by Taylor (its a long video, but ARMY loves watching reaction videos to this one) ruclips.net/video/huV_yIdxZPY/видео.html I would love to watch more of BTS reactions on your channel. I hope you enjoy their whole discography.
Like you for me BTS was the new Backstreet Boys and then I randomly arrived on J-Hope Lollapalooza concert ! He blew my mind 🤯 qi was like what ? When did this happened ? There is someone lile this in BTS 🥵🥵🥵 I allready knew BTS songs, there are ok but I didn't fall in the rabbit whole. But J-Hope ! Please I want my fan card right away ! I'ce watched lolla 3 times in a row I didn't understand the lyrics but I was all into it!
Had I started here, I’d have been a fan before I even knew what was happening. So NOT the cheesy pop harmony I was expecting!!! One of my metalhead friends asked me the other day if I was “still listening to those little Asian boys”. You’re damned right I am!!!
@@ReactionsThatRock I love J-Hope VERY VERY much ! I've been very Impressed by Jack In The Box, I've studied his lyrics and this man his brillant ! And the more I've learned about J-Hope the more I was impressed. So of course I let a second chance to BTS music it's part of his journey as artist but I gave up I still can't listen to BTS. There are some tracks I can enjoy like Mic Drop, Di-sease but the list of BTS song I like when they sing all together is very very short. But if course I do respect their work.
It's from his Album Jack In the Box. The live versions are high energy he did this one and 2 other's from Jack In the Box at a manger award show and he did the whole album along with his other solo Album Hope World when he was the headline act at Lollapalooza Chicago. His whole concert was live streamed worldwide. I watched on the live stream here in the UK. The two albums tell a story how he became J Hope who is is as person and an artist. A Rapper, Dancer, Singer etc. He of course wrote the songs, composed the music and produced them as well some tracks with help from other people be it band members or their in house team. Watching him live is high energy. I highly recommend you watch his Lollapalooza concert and his last performance at the MAMA award Show where he came away with his own awards and collected awards for BTS as group as they weren't able to attend.
I'm pretty sure I'm one of the people who recommended this song to you. From what you said about your usual taste in music, I knew you'd like this one.
JHope is more grunge rock heavy, so maybe try "Arson" but also from things you've said (and genx like me) I think you'd like "Daechwita" by Agust D. It's more rap heavy but the mv is crazy good 🤘💜
💜🇧🇷💜JHope is mostly amazing versatile talented artists ever!!! Love this song!! 💜💜💜All BTS are amazing and talented in their on way, but with JHOPE you never know if he’s going to sing rock, pop, hip hop, rap, always a surprise!!! And he is known as a Dance Machine!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
These you will like, this was their last concert together on October 15, 2022. I think this concert shows how they are rock stars. I loved this concert so much. This was their last concert together until 2025. Each member has released their own solo work (from July 2022 thru November 2023) and performed their music, then they enlisted in the military to do their mandatory military service (from December 2022, to December 2023). We won't get another Group concert until around late 2025 or so. They all return by June 2025. *These are some of my very favorite songs, and these songs show a very good cross section of what they can do, I think Butterfly you have to turn on the CC's, the rest are fan subs-auto* BTS at BUSAN Live - 'Intro' plus 'MIC DROP' - Eng subs - ruclips.net/video/nkXZQ17Smw8/видео.htmlsi=LirNMHc-d-RzTSET BTS at BUSAN Live - 'RUN BTS' - Eng subs - ruclips.net/video/NHtQqq_VKz0/видео.htmlsi=G4tJSrmA6vCrYFJo BTS at BUSAN Live - 'RUN' - Eng subs - ruclips.net/video/q8EworEedzw/видео.htmlsi=f7Aw9BB-PNJ7OinJ BTS at BUSAN Live (Vocal Line) - 'Butterfly (Prologue Mix)' - Eng subs - ruclips.net/video/d8DnLYyNUl8/видео.htmlsi=i3sy93-T3LUdNhfl BTS at BUSAN Live (Rap Line song) - 'UGH!' - Eng subs - ruclips.net/video/7xW-RO0flAk/видео.htmlsi=UozMjGIEO9BK0Lyv BTS at BUSAN Live - 'MA CITY' - Eng subs - ruclips.net/video/fFbpNTE3OxA/видео.htmlsi=8EhqcFklJNHB_-sH BTS at BUSAN Live - 'Epilogue - Young Forever' Eng subs - ruclips.net/video/ZtprpCjnMOQ/видео.htmlsi=iRf1tHX8YUaUw8FE
6:22 bro this is why we had so much trouble trying to get radio stations to play bts's music. we used to beg radio stations to play them, but no one ever listened before making those judgements. anyway, if u have time, there was an award show performance with several songs performed and it was amazing: ruclips.net/video/k-0v1fNVdas/видео.htmlsi=pgTfTqpk3Gt2U_jk
Consultants kill radio. So much of what you hear is decided at the corporate level by guys who listen to Steely Dan. I’ll be sure to check that out! Thanks!!! 😎🤘🔥
@@ReactionsThatRock oh trust me, army knows. If you're curious abt how srs we take what it means to "support the artist as fans" and how much BTS has been pushed down by american media and radio I'd recommend you watch xCelete's "BTS vs Billboard EXPLAINED | Truth about Radio and why fans should buy music" and Planet Army's "Billboard corrupt - BTS, ARMY, Billboard, Jimin and how Billboard is slowly destroying music" (not even as a reaction, just in your own time) both talk abt the most recent events that happened when Jimin had his solo debut in the US last year, they also go through A BIT of army's history trying to get americans to give this "kpop boyband who sings in korean" a chance of simply listening to their music and reading their lyrics without prejudice.
Dionysus is a really great live performance with the whole group. All I can say about these guys is don't bother expecting to hear a particular sound or style - they really mix it up.
This is J Hope's solo. I call this rap meets grundge in a garage. LOL the first time I heard this, my jaw actually dropped. I sat for a moment then listened to it about 4 more times.
"Catch up" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 All the fans thought we were going to have time to catch up since the military announcement, but we've had new music drops every other month.😅
Yeah… I’m learning that catching up will be harder than I thought! I might make my Tuesday Two-fer gimmick in to a real thing to get to more BTS! (Shhh… this Tuesday is another Two-fer already in the can!)
Oh you definitely need to watch J-hope's performance at lollapalooza, the energy was insane and his songs live were SO good. Y As someone who loves rock I've always wanted them to try something like that bc they do have some rock elements in some songs but this?? nah a lot of armys didn't expected to be J-hope to be the first one to do so. I mean, of course we knew he was capable but he's known for having a bubbly personality and his songs before the 'Jack In The Box' album were more danceable or bright even if some of his lyrics were already dark (even when he had hip hop songs too with sick beats tho) the contrast with the music was really big. So, many people got surprised when More was released bc we were expecting something dark but not grunge rock lmao and he killed it 🔥
The Lollapalooza show is one I’m planning to do in its entirety! I’m just working on time management as the “real job” and whatnot keep me quite busy. I find a lot of artists can go light or dark musically but always seem to just pick a lane and stay in it. I love seeing artists explore (especially at a young age where it benefits them rather than doing it on their 9th album where the media just calls it experimental). 💜😎🔥
@@ReactionsThatRock Oh yes that would be great! and yes, I agree with you. I’ve seen many artists experimenting but a lot of times doesn’t go well since they stayed in the same lane for a long time and many times people feel the changes are not genuine but I have to admit that some do it really well and BTS’ members are a great proof of that. They really have that talent bc they really can do so many genres and in all of those they have done it really good so far. I think one big contribution is how different they are and how much music they listen. The members mentioned a lot how they help each other in what others members are not good too so that’s awesome. Each of them bring something different to the table and the fact there’s no greed or something.. that’s real teamwork. 🔥 Thank you for taking the time to read and respond so many comments. I know it can be overwhelming so don’t worry, we understand if you can’t respond some. 💜
He can write and rhyme dw, the ending of the words is purely a style thing. He's a producer and songwriter. ALSO he's an AMAZING dancer. I'm a massive rock fan and never liked pop much but I'm massive into kpop since a few months. I'm absolutely digging kpop so incredibly much. BTS got me into it, but I'm really liking other groups now as well, especially the self-producing male groups. Lmao tbh the first song I really watched of BTS was jungkook standing next to you aswell, same as you. I've now heard hundreds of their songs and I can't get out of this rabbithole ever again, I think for the rest of my life. And I love it!
Oh, I know he can rhyme. He uses it as an internal rhyme to keep the style but it’s there. I just gotta point out these little things so I don’t come across as a fanboy (which I’m quickly becoming). It’s easy to pop on here and love EVERY song. I gotta find something every now and again though. If not, I’d be pandering. 💜😎🔥
That honestly surprised me! I thought pop really meant the US style of pop music. Radio friendly songs we will bounce our heads to in the supermarkets in 10 years. 💜🔥😎
This is JHOPEs own style which he actually flipped 180 degrees for this album! The next single ARSON is also amazing. His solo album JACK IN THE BOX, you might want to take a listen/review! No skips His team (7) all had solo efforts starting last yr.. each of them have phenomenally different yet incredible styles musically. ENJOY
If u want more of J hope check arson , hangsang, equal sign and of course chicken noodle soup with Becky G 💜💜💜 all the love and luck and welcome to our purple universe 💜💜💜💜
I highly recommend Taylor Mari's "Guide to the Bangtan 7" introduction video if you want to be introduced to each member and learn more about BTS's origins and story. It is extremely well put together, as Taylor is a professional video editor, and ARMY of course.
@@ReactionsThatRock I've watched probably no lie, at least 25 or more reactions to this intro video. Army will willingly watch with you no matter how long it is if you care to react to rather than just watch off camera. It's really fun to see people learn and be surprised.
Oh good, you did listen to it, lol. JHope BLEW. OUR. MINDS. when he dropped this. You could jaws dropping all over the world. Ha! And oh hell no, BTS songs are about struggles with mental health and socieatal norms and expectations, flipping the bird to their haters, and yes, lots of shout outs to the fans. I'm 64 and have always been a music lover of multiple genres, from the Beatles and Led Zeppelin to the Temptations to the Carpenters and the Supremes, etc. and have been to HUNDREDS of concerts - these guys have blown my granny mind! I adore them! They have a power to sopthe my soul like few artists ever have, and don't even have to sing in my language to do it, I can feel their message. ❤ Now I own their entire catalog and there are no throwaway songs. One cut called "Am I Wrong" has me picturing them bobbing down Bourdon Street in NOLA wearing top hats and carrying tall black umbrellas. They are incredibly versatile as individual musicians and as a group.👏👏🎶💜
I think you would love the opening 3 songs to their Yet To Come concert in Busan in 2022. Live band kills it and BTS live performances are out of this world. If you want to be even more shocked by how BTS are not saccharine sweet perhaps be good to watch the rapline Cyphers 1 to 4. Cypher 1 is quite gentle and the 2 hits you like a truck!😂💜
How very interesting that you are introduced to j-hope through "More". ARMY likes to think of him as the sunshine of BTS. My favorite song of his is "Chicken Noodle Soup" with Becky G.
Back in the early days of BTS, they would talk about RM, Suga, & Jhope would ask the younger members to listen to all types of music. Take time in their day and listen to something new. To get them explore everything. I remember, Jungkook, in the lunch room joined by it think V & Jhope, one day, breaking out in song to LINKIN PARK. ALSO: J Hope's voice is so interesting. He adds to much flavor to the songs.
Fellow heavy metal, gen X ARMY here ✌️ It can be confusing af in the beginning, especially for my Spotify 🤣 My playlist is BTS👉NIN👉BTS👉 Tupac 👉 lmao Welcome to the BTS rabbit hole, you'll love it here 💜
You are absolutely correct, kpop is not genre it's a Korean industry that mostly produces groups, but also solo artists and has common elements such as: choreography, fashion, social media, and often rappers and singers in the groups. BTS grew up in this system but are different cause from the start they made their music (lyrics, beats, melodies) sure they had inhouse producers as well but who doesn't? Unlike other kpop groups who majorly sing songs given to him by the label even without choice of what to sing. BTS are music lovers, they genuinely love music as art and strive to perform on stage even when they are old. I as army fell in love with bts music and lurics first, their amazing performances and them being good people is just additional bonus that made me lifelong fan. But i never got into other kpop groups tbh. I try to listen, but most sings are so derivative, they usually don't have any meaningful lyrics and often have uninspiring melodies that doesn't make me want to listen to them second time Bts are obe per geberation performers, their stage presence is second to none, and their songs apart from great lyrics have such amazing vocal delivery that you don't even need the translation to enjoy all vocal and voice inflictuons etc, their emotional delivery is best i ever heard in my life. And i am a alternative and rock fan myself My fave song us Outro Tear, you should check Wembley life performance ruclips.net/video/UDuaJGYe8EQ/видео.htmlsi=6Vh9YyGDquczO0k4
That’s my favorite J Hope song 💜 You are doing their solo projects first. It’s interesting to see your reaction when you realize they are so different as soloists… that is what makes BTS sooo HUGEEEE and great! Together they kick ass as well as alone! The seven of them are the best whether alone or as a group!
I really wanted to do their solo stuff first to get a feel for the style of each member. To me, it’ll make it easier to u sweat and who brings what to the table when I fire up the whole group. Should be fun!!! 💜😎🔥
I ordered the CD of Amazon and then bought a new car with no CD player. 🤣 I want to hear Arson then I’ll just stream the album like I’m not an old man.
I´ve been Army for 4 years now and haven´t been able to catch up, hahah. They hace soooo much work done, so many albums, so many songs, mix tapes, solo albums, concerts, ........... tons of stuff.
Here's the thing, chances are that if you keep listening to BTS you'll end up seeing something like what you initially expected. I think Dynamite might be the closest and honestly, I still love that song, but it was just a happy go lucky song they recorded in the middle of pandemic to cheer people up. At the time, people didn't necessarily need BTS' normal style of digging into mental health and social issues, because everybody already had enough of it in real life. So BTS gave us Dynamite as a simple, uncomplicated, slightly cheesy, but fun song... The things is, they don't stick with these type of songs. They occasionally make them and are not embarrassed about it, but they will do other types of music at the same time. Pretty sure you've already heard all of this 😅. I just wanted to give you heads up about it, because people might still recommend songs like Dynamite or Boy With Luv or Permission to Dance even if it might not be your style, just because these songs are radio-friendly and popular. On the other hand, you might still be surprised by those, wo knows 😂. That being said, I will recommend Wild Flower by RM feat. Youjeen. Another member, another style. RM is the poet of the group and you did suggest you like looking at the lyrics, so you might like it, even if it's a different sound from J-hope 🙂. I'm sure you have like a million other recommendations. It's difficult with us sometimes, BTS have so many great songs, we have a hard time picking one 😆
Let’s be honest… you can’t have 7 guys who can dance in one group and not have some pop radio cheese. It’s the nature of the beast! I’m just thrilled to see there’s so much more depth than that!!! 💜😎🔥
BTS are basically chameleons- it’s pretty common for Kpop artists to reinvent themselves with each new album. BTS are particularly good at that and are not afraid to experiment with music and style, especially if you throw in their solo projects. Given by the kind of music you say you tend to prefer, I suspect this and Arson will be your favorites, especially if you don’t really care for rap (but this rap line might change your mind!) They definitely have bubble gum pop/classic boy band feel songs, especially their English language trio, like Dynamite. But play that back to back with Mic Drop (harder, more hip hop) and then Fake Love or Black Swan (more arty) you’ll feel like you have even less of an idea who these guys are than before you started!
Dont forget punk. It's Punk Rap. Jhope is definitely the rock star of the group. But none of the music is what you would expect. Time for Arson and his live Lollapalooza concert. 😘💜🫰🏻🫶🏻 BTS started as a Hip Hop group. You will be shocked. 😂
Hola, me encanta la musica de JHOPE, y en vivo es muchísimo mejor con una banda en vivo, su versatilidad lo hace fusionar estilos, en su nuevo album JACK IN THE BOX lo volvio a demostrar con una mezcla de rock con hip hop, excelente. Y en vivo es un gigante. Gracias por la reaccion. Saludos desde MEXICO
I was really impressed with this and it's closes to the type of music I'd normally listen to. Loved the rapcore elements of it and can't wait to check out more! Gracias!
J Hope is amazing! More is my favorite from Jack in the Box. Watch Arson next. And for more Rock, React to The Rose, Back to Me, and Alive! They are a KRock band!
If you haven't already, I highly recommend "Not Today", "Mic Drop", "Blood, Sweat and Tears", "Dope" and "Fire". These are group songs and they all have a killer beat. (They're part of my "BTS Bops" playlist on Spotify.)
You are a Baby ARMY. As you delve farther into their music you will find yourself even more. He performed at Laloplooza. ARSON, and his whole album.He and SUGA are definitely more rap/hiphop/rock. Thank you as always for your review!!♾️💜❤️💜💕
@ReactionsThatRock Tuesday was Run BTS episodes when zi found them. I would race home from work and watch the new one and then spend several hours in the rabbit hole. My son was freaking out. I am a 63 yo ARMY. Please keep exploring as they are worth it.
BTS is usually very deep. They can do the poppy songs too, but the majority of their songs have deeper meanings. You probably enjoy Suga, His self titled song Agust D, Haegeum or Daechwita, they are amazing. RM Wild Flower or Joke are not to be missed. RM, Suga (he goes by Agust D as a soloist - Suga spelled backward and the DT is for his hometown of Daegu) and J Hope are considered the rap line of BTS. With all three of them, Outro Tear, Ugh, Ddaeng, or any of the Cypers (1-4), are good starting points. Jin, Jimin, V, and Jungkook are considered the vocal line. Jin’s Epiphany, Abyss, Moon, or Astronaut are great, V’s Singularity, Stigma, Slow Dancing are wonderful. Jimin’s Lie or Filter are great solos and JungKook’s Stay Alive (produced by Suga), My Time, Begin, and Euphoria are wonderful . If you want to hear everyone, you can’t go wrong with Fake Love, Mic Drop (Steve Aoki Remix), Born Singer, Louder Than Bombs, Black Swan, Film Out, and Blood, Sweat, and Tears are great starting points. For just the vocal line, House of Cards, The Truth Untold, and Zero O’Clock are also good starting points. And yes, they have a lot to listen to, but they really cross all genres, so there is something for everyone. It’s always fun to see a reactor go into BTS with the “K-pop boy band “ mentality, only to be surprised by how talented and diverse they are muscially. Enjoy the rabbit hole! ARMY is there to help you if you have questions.
You will love their harder songs like Ddaeng Outro:Tear Cypher 1-4 Mic Drop Joke by RM Haegeum by Suga Daechwita by Suga And probably it will explain why a lot of armys are rock fans , me included Watch Boracity Magazine “BTS are rockstars” and u will see why metal heads looooooove BTS
Fans getting j-hope through on his path may be indeed one of the meanings behind the song, but I believe a standout point would be the state of madness he reached after all the work he’s put in with bts and as a solo artist, and that, as the lyrics say “my work makes me breathe so I want more”. His stage for Lollapalooza is an amazing example of what I’m saying here, that is (at least in my eyes) an impeccable moment and people around him actually mentioned that preparing for that stage made him look almost not human because of how much of a perfectionist he became at that time. Anyway, too many words, enjoyed your reaction, thank you for giving the song a listen, hope we’ll see more on the future 💫 Have an amazing week!!
Never too many words! I did catch that line and loved it. Shows that he loves what he does and loves for it and that’s a passion that’s impossible to hide. 💜🔥😎
Jhope at lollapalooza is great. The guys are so good live. Jhope has crazy stage presence.
I’ll check that out! Thanks! 💜🤘😎
This! I love all the members but Hobi on stage is something else!
There is a saying in ARMY:
If you go to a live show not already a j-hope bias, you will be when you leave.
@@ReactionsThatRock And the whole Lollapalooza performance is on BTS youtube channel for free.
LOL 😂! BTS is NOT your typical boyband they are way beyond that! Don't forget the "Beatles" were considered a "boyband" too. And, BTS sings & raps about real shit going on in their life and the world, etc. They are NOT afraid to challenge the establishment. Which is one of the reasons the "K-POP" industry tried everything to shut BTS out in their early years.. Honestly, I do not consider BTS "K-POP" at all. They transcended "K-POP" a long time ago. 💜
I learned they aren’t a boy band the second I fired up Jungkook and it reminded me of Usher and Michael Jackson. I had these guys ALL wrong!
@@ReactionsThatRockI did too in the beginning 😄. I'm 59 and I've been to so many concerts in my lifetime, from Fleetwood Mac to Justin Timberlake, and every genre in between. I was lucky enough to go to a BTS concert in Las Vegas in 2022, and of all the concerts I've ever been to (and there were ALOT), BTS was by FAR the most amazing concert and experience I've ever had at a concert. These guys are special, and I don't say that lightly. I tend to be a skeptic, and boy they changed my whole perception. 💜
@@moezy-oI agree with you 150%! I'm 66.
@@ReactionsThatRockplease let me clarify. BTS’ pillars meaning the one who wrote most of their songs are the rapline who are the ones NOT KPOP. Jungkook and Jimin are the generic kpop. They are the typical kpop idol. No input to their songs. And yes jimin adding a line is not him writing his own songs. Army loves to exaggerate and could not admit the others are industry plants and overrated. The rapline are the real artists of the group.
@@Justbeingrealpitswow.
I think you'd enjoy the live performance from his Lollapalooza concert. The live band was a lot heavier in the rock element and so was JHope. It was awesome.
Someone recommended I do a full reaction on the entire concert. Seems like a bit much but maybe. 🤔 💜
@ReactionsThatRock Here's a link to it. It includes a short intro he had at the concert ruclips.net/video/c63dHydFWpo/видео.htmlsi=T70NQrEu0CbyvIzy
It's the Into and the song More only. Like 4 minutes
There is also a rock version of their song "Fake Love" @@ReactionsThatRock
@@ReactionsThatRock I recommend listening to his album first with the lyrics (there's lyrics channels) to appreciate the concert more. Album: Jack in the Box.
@@ReactionsThatRockyes please react to Lollaplooza/Hobipalooza you will enjoy it
Linkin Park fans here. Need more than 3 years to get into all BTS songs. But worth it. Both of them saved my life
Yeah, I see it’s gonna be a lot of work unless I become a full time BTS channel. 🤪
Please be sure to tune in to jhope of BTS's new EP Hope On The Street, coming this Friday March 29!
🤩😳I will!!!
Ha, ha, they do it all. They sing various genres (heavy core rap, r&b, neo-soul, jazz, edm, ballad, latin-pop...) and they do sing bubble gum pops too. Their fans are from toddlers to 90+ from all over the world with various professions. From 65 yrs young Army.
I can’t lie, I love the dynamic range!!! 💜🔥😎🤘
the only really bubble gum were the songs written by english speakers from UK. Dynamite and Boy with Love. both are well performed, catchy not too gooey, and their performance is excellent.
Jhope killed Lollapalooza! If you consider doing long reaction (which armys will watch for sure). You will be in for a treat, he is absolute beast on stafe and the rock arrangement of songs makes it even more fire!
I may have to do that!
I’m still getting my bearings with this channel but my goal is to get to a point where I’m doing a song reaction a day. I’d then like to do at least one additional reaction to a full concert or an interview or something a little bit longer. Awesome recommendation! Thank you!!! 💜😎🔥
@@ReactionsThatRock You won't regret watching j-hope's Lollapalooza set. I swear! I was there in person and he absolutely smashed that performance. It was so awesome!
@@ReactionsThatRock if you decide to watch it, it is available on their official YT channel - here: ruclips.net/video/6ak5yOmj8W8/видео.html
Hobi-palooza
is, to me, a huge
moment in the history
of music in America.
Highest-ever sales
for a headliner.
An artist who
combines styles
and rides beats like
no one else. When you
see him perform “What If?”
you will understand what
I am trying to say here.
He finishes his stint
in the army in October,
and I am counting
the days. 🎶
j-hope is the most versatile Korean artist, he is even better in live performances, he is the best dancer too. He loves 90's hiphop and streetdancing aside from singing rock music.
That’s awesome! I’ve definitely gotta see more!!! 💜🔥😎
You need to check out arson by jhope too!! Its another great song!!
Ooh. Added to my growing list! Thanks!!!🔥😎
That’s my fav! Immediately start jamming when it plays!
You would probably enjoy "dionysus" live by bts. It has some rock elements and jhope wrote a lot or most of it I think.
Sounds awesome! Thanks!!! 💜🤘😎
@@ReactionsThatRock
Best would be a performance.
If you have a little time: try their MMA 2019 performace.... the full performance:
It's breathtaking!
Yes is awesome! 💜🇲🇽💜
OMG the MMA 2019 performance is so good! You’d wish it was longer once you reached the end!
Korean is a notoriously difficult language to rhyme. He is a genius with middle and end rhyming. There's a Korean literature professor who translated this song with context and
was writing about how j-hope's rhyming and references are genius. When his translation website is up and running I'll have to link it here.
That’s amazing! I have a Korean friend and he told me a while back that most Korean music that rhymes uses internal rhyme or a near rhyme (like if we rhymed “great” with “hay”… close, but not quite). Despite any comments I may or may not have made here, it was still incredible word use and I am really interested in seeing someone dig in to it so when there’s a link… I’m here for it! 💜😎🔥
BTS definitely don't limit themselves to a box. They can do ultra happy pop to a introspective dark song all on 1 album. Even the decision to go on a group hiatus before military to do more individuals projects was partially to hve time to explore themselves more & able to come back together into new era of BTS music in 2025. We thought things would slow down for Army but it ampted up 7 fold 😂 Even this Jhope was a surprise musically for us (always knew he had a dark side) as he is known to be brighter and East coast hiphop feel. Linkin Park was one of my fav bands growing up and this just gave me all those feels again. Recommend 2022 Lalapalooza where he headlined. The largest crowd for the festival and he thought we wouldn't show up 😆
That’s awesome to hear! I was definitely impressed with this and can’t wait to check out more! 💜😎🔥
@@ReactionsThatRock just so you are prepared, You will find a few of their songs that will kind of fit into the box of what you were thinking about their music. Keep in mind that those are generally all in English and were released during COVID and were meant to simply be uplifting happy songs to help people through lockdowns. They were also the first songs to break into the western market in a significant way. But those are not indicative of their 400 plus songs and their 10-year discography.
Lollapalooza is great! the song More is from his recent album Jack in the Box.
Maybe try Arson next (also j-hope) and if you want to check out a few other of the members maybe try Haegum or Daechwita by Agust D (aka Suga of BTS) or UGH! by the 3 BTS rappers(RM, Suga and j-hope).
Lots more to recommend but I will pause there.
All the guys are great solo and as a group. Lots to discover.
We BTS fans have been telling people for years to not sleep on BTS music and their talent and so many brush us off by saying nope they are probably nothing more than another manufactured pop boy band singing cute and happy love songs. These guys have been grinding for over 10 years as a group and they deserve all the success in the world. But because of all these preconceived notions people don't give them a chance.
I agree! Honestly if I’d not decided to do this channel I’d probably never have checked them out on my own for those very same preconceived notions.
So happy I did though! 💜😎🔥
There's a video essay called "BTS are Rock Stars" by Boracity Magazine. The creator is a rock/metal fan and she explains the similarities she sees between BTS and rock/metal bands, which made her a BTS fan. Towards the beginning, she includes a compilation of song snippets by BTS or the members that are rock-inspired. I'm sure there will be songs among them that you'll want to hear in full.
That’s awesome! I’ll have to check it out! 💜🔥🤘😎
I'm a rock and metal fan. And I'm a crazy BTS fan! I have been an ARMY for 7 years. Ah yes - and I'm 50 years old. I don't listen to K-pop, I tried - it doesn't work. It strikes me that most BTS fans are middle age (and there are a lot of men too) - no race, gender or age. These are connoisseurs of good music.. I would love to see your reaction to the above quoted Boracity video.
@@ReactionsThatRockYes please! If you have time, check out Boracity Magazine videos. She does a lot of research for her video essays! She's a rock star 💜
@@ReactionsThatRock Please do!
J-hope is definitely my favorite member (although I of course still love them all too). He's really inspired by a lot of old school rap and hip hop, he was also a really talented streetdancer before he was in BTS. This song is from his 2nd album 'Jack in the box' which is a darker sound from his 1st album 'Hope World', he wanted to explore a different side of himself which is usually very happy and cheerful (or at least, that's how he always preferred to portray himself to everyone).
I know people have been spamming you with Lollapalooza requests, but it's really great and I would watch absolutely the entire thing if you did upload it lol. I don't know if you'd want to go through his songs first before doing it or just watch the concert first, but the live arrangements are slightly different from the original songs and it's worth checking out both versions either way. He was also the first Korean artist to headline a major U.S. music festival and I'm proud of him for that lol. Also, the second half of the show is more dance heavy than the first half but it's still really fun. The official upload doesn't really have subtitles, but these ones do (it's in 2 parts) ruclips.net/video/BDhHGIYY5HY/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/ler3CbM9aoI/видео.html
Thanks so much for the infos and links! I’m definitely going to be doing this, it’s just a matter of time. There soooooo many songs and guides!
I dig a dark vibe so Jack in the Box sounds like a solid album. Perhaps I’ll have Amazon mail me a cd! 💜😎🔥
I'm a former radio person, too, and i have seen A LOT of artists in my time. These guys are just phenomenally talented. They're like the 1993 Chicago Bulls, except they're all Michael Jordan. You are in for a treat! The fandom is literally the largest in the world and can be a bit intimidating at first, but they have such a warm spirit and genuinely love introducing people to BTS. Enjoy the journey!!
Wait… not a single Scotty Pippen???
Now I have to check out more!!! I’ve got some work to do! 💜😎🔥
@ReactionsThatRock Not one! Lol. They all have the compete level and work ethic of MJ, but without being an a-hole. Absolute legends.
@@ReactionsThatRock Totally tangential funny story--I went to Turkey for the 1999 total eclipse of the sun, and ended up in a town called Sivas, east of Ankara, not a place with a lot of western tourists. So our group got surrounded in the market with folks who just wanted to talk to us, though few English speakers. One guy had a Bulls jersey on, so we said "Michael Jordan!", thinking he'd respond happily. But he just gave a raspberry and said, "no, no--Scotty Pippin!"
Don't worry about becoming a BTS ARMY. They have thousands of fans that are also die-hard rock/metal/HipHop fans.
It’s amazing how many of the comments start with “I’m 63 and grew up on Sabbath and Maiden, but…”.
I love it! 💜😎🔥
... millions 💜
If you were stuck on an island and chose BTS’ works, you’ll have almost everything you need in their catalog. I remember I was going through a hard time including feeling of frustration/injustice with changes at work (losing my boss) & having to sit through 1.5 hrs of traffic going home some years ago, I listened to their early hip hop a lot in the commute home to unleash how I feel. BTS would understand how I feel since they lived thru injustice and dealing with jerks. But if you just wanna vibe to R&B or jazzy stuff, there are those, especially nice on rainy days. If you want, pop whether edgy or sweet, they have it. If you want EDM, they definitely have that. If you want Latin vibes or rock vibes, they have that. I think it’s easy to think they are one thing if you only listen to one song. Even if you listen to three songs, you still will not be able to grasp everything that they do. They are music lovers and also sincere in their writing.
It really seems that way! I’m so blown away by the diversity of sound. Just incredible!😎🔥💜

j-hope happened. :) This was his debut solo era and he wrote & composed all 10 songs from his album Jack in The Box. He said in hjs Disney + documentary , j-hope IN THE BOX, “you know how BTS makes music , but you don’t know how j-hope makes music”and this is what he showed us, a critically acclaimed album rated Top 9 Best Albums by Rolling Stone in 2022.
You are just scratching the surface now, when you dive into the translation of his lyrics , it will blow your mind!
The best thing, he learned to rap & compose music starting 2010, his foundation is street dancing and it came out in his rapping style, the best satisfying flows. You will know it’s him in songs of BTS, very distinct! Like the music is so good already then here he comes with his delivery that just makes it perfect!
You should check out his Lollapalooza set in 2022. He became the first Korean Artist to headline the event.
Check out the whole album Jack In The Box including ARSON , his song 1verse samples from El Chapo is fire too! Then his rapline performances with his fellow raplines - Cyphers, Ugh, DDAENG 👌🏼
j-hope is always for quality music with 138 songs credited under his belt, he is 1/3 of the musical pillars of BTS who created the great songs they have in earlier albums! His stage presence is unrivaled and he is also the dance leader of their group. Immensely talented, you’ll never regret diving down the rabbit hole of Hope World 🔥

That’s what made me ARMY. I saw a video of him performing this at lollapalooza in 2022… I fell immediately into the rabbithole but bts and army make you fly instead 💜
I had the same prejudices and I deeply regret not checking them out earlier.
Army are defending them since ever, want them to be recognized and respected for what they do. Bts finds you at the right time. Great reaction 💜
Thanks! I’m honestly regretting not listening to my friends that pushed them on me for years! Lots of work to do getting caught up now!💜😎🔥
J-hope is my bias! If I start talking about him I’ll never shut up so all I’m gonna say is You’re definitely in for a Long journey dude….he’s the whole package. A PHENOMENAL performer and artist.
Oh yeah, I’ve got a mountain of music to climb and I’m pretty sure the moment I get a cloudless glimpse of the summit, all the new music will be coming out. 💜😎🔥
Yes, Hobi and all the other guys are extremely devoted to ARMY and have wrote songs just for us. Even knowing they were going to enlist into the military they wrote "Take Two" in advance to gift ARMY on our 10 anniversary.
They are also a very tight group that have become brothers and family. When Hobi was in the military and couldnt promote his own solo album, the other 6 did it for him, even with them also releasing solo albums.
I have been ARMY going on 4 years now, and i can tell you, they pulled me out of some tough spots.
I believe that. They seem to have music that resonates. Been a long time since I found a band or group who wrote songs from the heart!
JHope at Lollapalooza 2022/Hobipalooza was epic ❤
I may check out that entire show! 💜😎🔥
One of the rockiest tracks BTS have done as a group is Come Back Home. It’s a stand alone single and there is an official music video. It’s one of my favourites, I think you will enjoy it. Another one is Ma City. There are several live performances with English subtitles. Enjoy!
Oooh. I do t think anyone’s mentioned these yet. I’ll be sure to check them out!!! Thanks! 💜😎🔥
Come Back Home opens with an awesome Jin vocal. 💜
Come Back Home was from Seo Taiji 25th Anniversary show with BTS (and then they did the cover.). It's fabulous. Ma City is one of my favs too.
@@ReactionsThatRockCheck out the channel Enjoy BTS More for the best English subs for live performances.
The beauty of BTS is their flexibility in approaching music. They explore and blend whatever fits the project from harder rock to jazz or classical so I’ve never been bored. They also have deep concepts and meaningful lyrics. Jhope knocked it out if the park on this album and blew Lolapalloza away as the headliner. Love this went harder.
It’s such a strong sound that I was totally not expecting. This alone has me wanting to check out the Lollapalooza show in its entirety! 💜🔥😎
j-hope's solo music is not your typical BTS music. He really jumped out of that box & blessed us with an amazing album & an outstanding performance at Lollapalooza.
Seems that way. This was by far the best song (to my ears) that I’d heard so far. 💜😎🔥
55 year old ARMY here. I discovered BTS in 2020 during the midst of COVID pandemic and they helped me deal with the situation. Your channel came to my feed today and I’ve been binge watching. I have to comment when it comes to my bias. He is very versatile. He raps, sings, dances, leads, and best of all he is our sunshine. 💜
Thanks so much! I’m a young channel at just over 100 days in but I do hope to learn so much more about music I’ve avoided most of my life! It’s so much better than I thought it could be!!!
Enjoyed your reaction. Love it when BTS break the mould for people every single time. If you want more like this from Jhope please check Arson and I also recommend RMs songs, Do you or Joke, Sugas songs Daechwita, Haegum, Amygdala. Vs new mini album is fantastic. Pick anything from him to get a feel for his much more smooth crooning jazz sound and Jins beautiful tribute until we meet again song titled The Astronaut. The thing about BTS is that individually they are superstars and when together, it's just magic.
Thanks for the recommendations! I’m e already added Arson to my list and will be checking out a whole lot more soon!!! 💜🔥😎
j-hope is my bias. I've been a fan for many years and love his music so much. I love how he ended "MORE" bc he left me wanting more.
Arson is a beautiful track. Lolla and MAMA Awards are so good yet very different!
Might be mine too! Too early to tell though. I’m hoping to check out Arson soon!
Our Hobi is Brilliant!! ☀️ Thx for watching and showing your enjoyment of #JHOPE💜 and his artistry.
It was my pleasure… trust me! 💜
I love that, even as a Rapper Hobi has a growly delivery. Especially with his latest Jack in the Box songs and performances. If you check out BTS Dance Practice for BTS Run (their most recent release) you'll get a good feel for the Rap/Rock sounds they mixed in with solid vocals. They dance their a$$es off too. All the members are completing their mandatory military service rn, I think Jhope only has about 9 months left. They'll all be back by 2025.
I was really impressed and surprised with his vocal style. It had a much harder emotional rock edge than I was expecting and I cannot wait to dive in to more!!! 💜🔥😎
Unfortunately, BTS doesn't have too many "rock" songs. However, they do have songs with rock elements in the music production that you may like. Most of them are B sides. (but aren't the best songs usually B sides)
Here are my suggestions. If they have official music videos available, I Marked them with *MV. If they don't you can look up color coded lyric videos. That way you can see the translations and also it shows who's singing based on the font color. 💜
• Louder Than Bombs
• Am I Wrong
• ON *MV
• Dionysus
• Run BTS (Not to be confused with Run which is another song)
• Boy in Love *MV
• Fake Love *MV (There is a rock version of this song but it doesn't have a MV)
• Lie (BTS song but only Jimin is on this one)
• Stop (J Hope - Live Lollapalooza version)
One last note, not all, but many of their live performances are with a live band and are more rock sounding.
In fact, the BTS Tiny Desk Concert has a live band and sounds great. Also lets you see a bit more of their personalities and live vocals. Thanks for checking out our guys 💜
Oh and also BTS Collab. with Cold Play "My Universe"
I don’t specifically need rock songs. I actually started this channel to move out of my rock and roll bubble a bit.
I can’t help it if the rock songs bring the views. 🤣
Thanks for these recommendations! I’ll be jumping in!!! 💜🔥😎🤘
@@LaidyJezabel there is an mv for the rock version of Fake Love? the longer version...
I suggest Arson from J-hope for another J reaction.
I’ll have to check it out!!! 💜😎🔥
Thanks for your wonderful reaction. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Our sunshine Hobi (Jhope) is very versatile and talented. He has been dancing since he was a small kid and even won a national competition. He is the main dancer and dance leader of the group. He is considered among the best dancers in Kpop.
Please watch react to his song "Arson". You will surely like it.
BTS offers a wide range of genres when it comes to their music. As a group they are explosive (23 Guinness world records, numerous other accolade and world records as a group) but they are also individually amazing in their different style of music. They make a wide variety of genres of music like Hip-hop, Ballad, R&B, pop, EDM, etc. I'm sure there are quite a few of their over 300 songs that suit your taste. :)
BTS are famous for their deep and meaningful lyrics. They have written almost 95% of their songs from their discography.
I think this video is the best to understand each BTS member.
A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7 by Taylor (its a long video, but ARMY loves watching reaction videos to this one)

I would love to watch more of BTS reactions on your channel.
I hope you enjoy their whole discography.
Awesome info! Thank you so much!!!
There will be plenty more BTS to come. Not only do I enjoy their songs so far but the fans are incredible!!! 💜😎🔥
JHOPE 🔥🔥 OT7💜💜
Check out his Arson. 💜 💜
Will do! 💜😎🔥
My Dear, thanks You for your reaction, JHope is really amazing,for me BTS is beyond KPOP , Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you! I was really impressed! 💜🤘😎
Like you for me BTS was the new Backstreet Boys and then I randomly arrived on J-Hope Lollapalooza concert ! He blew my mind 🤯 qi was like what ? When did this happened ? There is someone lile this in BTS 🥵🥵🥵 I allready knew BTS songs, there are ok but I didn't fall in the rabbit whole. But J-Hope ! Please I want my fan card right away ! I'ce watched lolla 3 times in a row I didn't understand the lyrics but I was all into it!
Had I started here, I’d have been a fan before I even knew what was happening. So NOT the cheesy pop harmony I was expecting!!!
One of my metalhead friends asked me the other day if I was “still listening to those little Asian boys”. You’re damned right I am!!!
@@ReactionsThatRock I love J-Hope VERY VERY much ! I've been very Impressed by Jack In The Box, I've studied his lyrics and this man his brillant ! And the more I've learned about J-Hope the more I was impressed. So of course I let a second chance to BTS music it's part of his journey as artist but I gave up I still can't listen to BTS. There are some tracks I can enjoy like Mic Drop, Di-sease but the list of BTS song I like when they sing all together is very very short. But if course I do respect their work.
It's from his Album Jack In the Box. The live versions are high energy he did this one and 2 other's from Jack In the Box at a manger award show and he did the whole album along with his other solo Album Hope World when he was the headline act at Lollapalooza Chicago. His whole concert was live streamed worldwide. I watched on the live stream here in the UK. The two albums tell a story how he became J Hope who is is as person and an artist. A Rapper, Dancer, Singer etc. He of course wrote the songs, composed the music and produced them as well some tracks with help from other people be it band members or their in house team. Watching him live is high energy. I highly recommend you watch his Lollapalooza concert and his last performance at the MAMA award Show where he came away with his own awards and collected awards for BTS as group as they weren't able to attend.
Awesome info! I’ll definitely be checking out more (and some longer form concerts) in the near future! Thanks!!!💜😎🔥
I think you will love J-hope's Lollapalooza performance, it was just AWESOME
I’ve heard that. Contemplating firing up the whole show some day soon! 💜😎🔥
I'm pretty sure I'm one of the people who recommended this song to you. From what you said about your usual taste in music, I knew you'd like this one.
Sounds about right! I heard he was more of a rapper but I really didn’t expect the rock rhythm and heavy bass hits. Thanks for recommending!!!! 💜🤘😎🔥
JHope is more grunge rock heavy, so maybe try "Arson" but also from things you've said (and genx like me) I think you'd like "Daechwita" by Agust D. It's more rap heavy but the mv is crazy good 🤘💜
Good to know! I think I’ll be checking out both of those!!! 💜🤘😎
That is the name Suga who is also in BTS uses for his solo releases.
💜🇧🇷💜JHope is mostly amazing versatile talented artists ever!!! Love this song!! 💜💜💜All BTS are amazing and talented in their on way, but with JHOPE you never know if he’s going to sing rock, pop, hip hop, rap, always a surprise!!! And he is known as a Dance Machine!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
That’s so phenomenal to hear. Even this song alone covered 3 or 4 styles. Just great! 💜😎🔥
These you will like, this was their last concert together on October 15, 2022. I think this concert shows how they are rock stars. I loved this concert so much. This was their last concert together until 2025.
Each member has released their own solo work (from July 2022 thru November 2023) and performed their music, then they enlisted in the military to do their mandatory military service (from December 2022, to December 2023). We won't get another Group concert until around late 2025 or so. They all return by June 2025.

6:22 bro this is why we had so much trouble trying to get radio stations to play bts's music. we used to beg radio stations to play them, but no one ever listened before making those judgements. anyway, if u have time, there was an award show performance with several songs performed and it was amazing: ruclips.net/video/k-0v1fNVdas/видео.htmlsi=pgTfTqpk3Gt2U_jk
Consultants kill radio. So much of what you hear is decided at the corporate level by guys who listen to Steely Dan.
I’ll be sure to check that out! Thanks!!! 😎🤘🔥
@@ReactionsThatRock oh trust me, army knows. If you're curious abt how srs we take what it means to "support the artist as fans" and how much BTS has been pushed down by american media and radio I'd recommend you watch xCelete's "BTS vs Billboard EXPLAINED | Truth about Radio and why fans should buy music" and Planet Army's "Billboard corrupt - BTS, ARMY, Billboard, Jimin and how Billboard is slowly destroying music" (not even as a reaction, just in your own time) both talk abt the most recent events that happened when Jimin had his solo debut in the US last year, they also go through A BIT of army's history trying to get americans to give this "kpop boyband who sings in korean" a chance of simply listening to their music and reading their lyrics without prejudice.
Yepp, everyone can get their own taste satisfied with BTS, and also start to love the other styles😉👍I agree, this is a gem✨ Enjoy your BTS trip💖
Thanks! So far it’s been an eye opening journey! So NOT what I expected!
Dionysus is a really great live performance with the whole group. All I can say about these guys is don't bother expecting to hear a particular sound or style - they really mix it up.
I’ve noticed that! Someone earlier said the only constant is change and it couldn’t be more right! 💜🔥😎
This is J Hope's solo. I call this rap meets grundge in a garage. LOL the first time I heard this, my jaw actually dropped. I sat for a moment then listened to it about 4 more times.
I’m right there with ya. Such a great sound!!!
One of the member SUGA said if you just give BTS a chance you will find something you will like.
Makes sense to me! Fortunately I’m finding a lot that I like!
"Catch up" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 All the fans thought we were going to have time to catch up since the military announcement, but we've had new music drops every other month.😅
Yeah… I’m learning that catching up will be harder than I thought! I might make my Tuesday Two-fer gimmick in to a real thing to get to more BTS!
(Shhh… this Tuesday is another Two-fer already in the can!)
JHOPE!!!!!! 💪💜🫰
💜😎🔥
wait till you see arson from jhope it is so hard lol.
It is on my short list now! Thanks!!!
Please react to J Hope's Arson.
I will check it out! 💜🤘🔥
Oh you definitely need to watch J-hope's performance at lollapalooza, the energy was insane and his songs live were SO good. Y
As someone who loves rock I've always wanted them to try something like that bc they do have some rock elements in some songs but this?? nah a lot of armys didn't expected to be J-hope to be the first one to do so. I mean, of course we knew he was capable but he's known for having a bubbly personality and his songs before the 'Jack In The Box' album were more danceable or bright even if some of his lyrics were already dark (even when he had hip hop songs too with sick beats tho) the contrast with the music was really big. So, many people got surprised when More was released bc we were expecting something dark but not grunge rock lmao and he killed it 🔥
The Lollapalooza show is one I’m planning to do in its entirety! I’m just working on time management as the “real job” and whatnot keep me quite busy.
I find a lot of artists can go light or dark musically but always seem to just pick a lane and stay in it. I love seeing artists explore (especially at a young age where it benefits them rather than doing it on their 9th album where the media just calls it experimental). 💜😎🔥
@@ReactionsThatRock Oh yes that would be great! and yes, I agree with you. I’ve seen many artists experimenting but a lot of times doesn’t go well since they stayed in the same lane for a long time and many times people feel the changes are not genuine but I have to admit that some do it really well and BTS’ members are a great proof of that. They really have that talent bc they really can do so many genres and in all of those they have done it really good so far. I think one big contribution is how different they are and how much music they listen. The members mentioned a lot how they help each other in what others members are not good too so that’s awesome. Each of them bring something different to the table and the fact there’s no greed or something.. that’s real teamwork. 🔥
Thank you for taking the time to read and respond so many comments. I know it can be overwhelming so don’t worry, we understand if you can’t respond some. 💜
Another song off that same j-hope album (Jack in the Box) is Arson.
It's got some throwback audio in there I think you'll appreciate.
I’ll get it in my “sooner rather than later” list! Thanks! 💜🔥😎
Linkin park fan is here and i love this song too
You and me both! 💜😎🔥
He can write and rhyme dw, the ending of the words is purely a style thing. He's a producer and songwriter. ALSO he's an AMAZING dancer. I'm a massive rock fan and never liked pop much but I'm massive into kpop since a few months. I'm absolutely digging kpop so incredibly much. BTS got me into it, but I'm really liking other groups now as well, especially the self-producing male groups. Lmao tbh the first song I really watched of BTS was jungkook standing next to you aswell, same as you. I've now heard hundreds of their songs and I can't get out of this rabbithole ever again, I think for the rest of my life. And I love it!
Oh, I know he can rhyme. He uses it as an internal rhyme to keep the style but it’s there. I just gotta point out these little things so I don’t come across as a fanboy (which I’m quickly becoming).
It’s easy to pop on here and love EVERY song. I gotta find something every now and again though. If not, I’d be pandering. 💜😎🔥
Kpop, all groups, use every type of music and combine it into this really cool thing. BTS in particular is not afraid to explore all of it.
That honestly surprised me! I thought pop really meant the US style of pop music. Radio friendly songs we will bounce our heads to in the supermarkets in 10 years. 💜🔥😎
Yes - finally - someone who thought Linkin Park right away too - this blew Army outta the water when it dropped.
It’s that pop-electronic groove machine sound. Maybe not Hybrid Theory Linkin Park but definitely Meteora and later.
GREAT song!!!
This is JHOPEs own style which he actually flipped 180 degrees for this album! The next single ARSON is also amazing.
His solo album JACK IN THE BOX, you might want to take a listen/review! No skips
His team (7) all had solo efforts starting last yr.. each of them have phenomenally different yet incredible styles musically. ENJOY
Arson is on my short list as everyone says it’s 🔥. Sooner or later I’ve got to listen to the whole group too. Thanks! 💜😎🔥
If u want more of J hope check arson , hangsang, equal sign and of course chicken noodle soup with Becky G 💜💜💜 all the love and luck and welcome to our purple universe 💜💜💜💜
Arson is on my short list. Everyone tells me it’s so good! I appreciate the others too. Good guidance!💜😎🔥
It would be Awesome if you react to Lollapalooza by J-HOPE he was amazing, I was there and I love it 🥰
Please react to Hobipalooza 🙏🏼
I might just do that! 💜😎🔥
I highly recommend Taylor Mari's "Guide to the Bangtan 7" introduction video if you want to be introduced to each member and learn more about BTS's origins and story. It is extremely well put together, as Taylor is a professional video editor, and ARMY of course.
Thanks so much! I’m committed to watching it and learning much more! Thanks!!!
@@ReactionsThatRock I've watched probably no lie, at least 25 or more reactions to this intro video. Army will willingly watch with you no matter how long it is if you care to react to rather than just watch off camera. It's really fun to see people learn and be surprised.
Oh good, you did listen to it, lol. JHope BLEW. OUR. MINDS. when he dropped this. You could jaws dropping all over the world. Ha!
And oh hell no, BTS songs are about struggles with mental health and socieatal norms and expectations, flipping the bird to their haters, and yes, lots of shout outs to the fans. I'm 64 and have always been a music lover of multiple genres, from the Beatles and Led Zeppelin to the Temptations to the Carpenters and the Supremes, etc. and have been to HUNDREDS of concerts - these guys have blown my granny mind! I adore them! They have a power to sopthe my soul like few artists ever have, and don't even have to sing in my language to do it, I can feel their message. ❤
Now I own their entire catalog and there are no throwaway songs. One cut called "Am I Wrong" has me picturing them bobbing down Bourdon Street in NOLA wearing top hats and carrying tall black umbrellas. They are incredibly versatile as individual musicians and as a group.👏👏🎶💜
I absolutely LOVE everything you said here!!!! Thank you so much for sharing! 💜🤩
Please be sure to tune in to j-hope’s new EP Hope On The Street Vol. 1, coming this Friday March 29!
💜💜💜
On it!!!! 💜🤩
They do have 'your my baby baby' type songs n its just as fun. BTS is said "genre's, whats that?'
That’s awesome. I can’t wait to check out more! 💜🔥😎
I think you would love the opening 3 songs to their Yet To Come concert in Busan in 2022. Live band kills it and BTS live performances are out of this world.
If you want to be even more shocked by how BTS are not saccharine sweet perhaps be good to watch the rapline Cyphers 1 to 4. Cypher 1 is quite gentle and the 2 hits you like a truck!😂💜
Awesome to know. Not sure if I’ll do them here or on my own but I’m definitely digging in to some (alll?!?) of these!!! 💜😎🔥
How very interesting that you are introduced to j-hope through "More". ARMY likes to think of him as the sunshine of BTS. My favorite song of his is "Chicken Noodle Soup" with Becky G.
Love the song name! I should check it out! 💜😎🔥
Back in the early days of BTS, they would talk about RM, Suga, & Jhope would ask the younger members to listen to all types of music. Take time in their day and listen to something new. To get them explore everything. I remember, Jungkook, in the lunch room joined by it think V & Jhope, one day, breaking out in song to LINKIN PARK.
ALSO: J Hope's voice is so interesting. He adds to much flavor to the songs.
I can’t disagree with that at all!!! I’ve gotta hear more but he may be (as the ARMY says) my Bias. Although I’m also a sucker for Jin and V.
Fellow heavy metal, gen X ARMY here ✌️ It can be confusing af in the beginning, especially for my Spotify 🤣 My playlist is BTS👉NIN👉BTS👉 Tupac 👉 lmao Welcome to the BTS rabbit hole, you'll love it here 💜
I hear ya! My RUclips recommendations have been all over the place!!! 💜🔥😎🤘
When you start diving into their discography, especially the stuff they've written, saccharin is not the word that comes to mind
I believe that! I’ve been kind of impressed with how angsty some songs are!
You are absolutely correct, kpop is not genre it's a Korean industry that mostly produces groups, but also solo artists and has common elements such as: choreography, fashion, social media, and often rappers and singers in the groups.
BTS grew up in this system but are different cause from the start they made their music (lyrics, beats, melodies) sure they had inhouse producers as well but who doesn't? Unlike other kpop groups who majorly sing songs given to him by the label even without choice of what to sing.
BTS are music lovers, they genuinely love music as art and strive to perform on stage even when they are old.
I as army fell in love with bts music and lurics first, their amazing performances and them being good people is just additional bonus that made me lifelong fan. But i never got into other kpop groups tbh. I try to listen, but most sings are so derivative, they usually don't have any meaningful lyrics and often have uninspiring melodies that doesn't make me want to listen to them second time
Bts are obe per geberation performers, their stage presence is second to none, and their songs apart from great lyrics have such amazing vocal delivery that you don't even need the translation to enjoy all vocal and voice inflictuons etc, their emotional delivery is best i ever heard in my life. And i am a alternative and rock fan myself
My fave song us Outro Tear, you should check Wembley life performance
ruclips.net/video/UDuaJGYe8EQ/видео.htmlsi=6Vh9YyGDquczO0k4
Thanks so much this info!!! I’ll check out the recommendation too! 💜😎🔥
j-hope On the street with j-cole.. collaboration of the year 2023😊
… and I know nothing about it! I have so much more work to do! 💜😎🔥
That’s my favorite J Hope song 💜
You are doing their solo projects first. It’s interesting to see your reaction when you realize they are so different as soloists… that is what makes BTS sooo HUGEEEE and great! Together they kick ass as well as alone! The seven of them are the best whether alone or as a group!
I really wanted to do their solo stuff first to get a feel for the style of each member. To me, it’ll make it easier to u sweat and who brings what to the table when I fire up the whole group. Should be fun!!! 💜😎🔥
@@ReactionsThatRock Enjoy it! BTS is really the best of the best! Their lyrics, music, videos, choreographies, everything they do is gold! 💜
Hi, thanks for checking JHope's More.. there's another song in his album "Jack in the Box" titled Arson. You might like to check that out too 😊.
I have heard amazing things about Arson and will be checking it out soon! Thanks! 💜🔥😎
I absolutely LOVE this album. It’s SO up my alley.
I ordered the CD of Amazon and then bought a new car with no CD player. 🤣
I want to hear Arson then I’ll just stream the album like I’m not an old man.
j-hope i´s fire. j-dope!!!!
🔥
Jhope - arson
BTS - run BTS
AgustD - daechwita
AgustD - Haegeum (to lift a ban)
Awesome! I’m on em! Thanks!💜🤘😎
I´ve been Army for 4 years now and haven´t been able to catch up, hahah. They hace soooo much work done, so many albums, so many songs, mix tapes, solo albums, concerts, ........... tons of stuff.
Oh yeah. I’ve got my work cut out for me!💜
Here's the thing, chances are that if you keep listening to BTS you'll end up seeing something like what you initially expected. I think Dynamite might be the closest and honestly, I still love that song, but it was just a happy go lucky song they recorded in the middle of pandemic to cheer people up. At the time, people didn't necessarily need BTS' normal style of digging into mental health and social issues, because everybody already had enough of it in real life. So BTS gave us Dynamite as a simple, uncomplicated, slightly cheesy, but fun song... The things is, they don't stick with these type of songs. They occasionally make them and are not embarrassed about it, but they will do other types of music at the same time. Pretty sure you've already heard all of this 😅. I just wanted to give you heads up about it, because people might still recommend songs like Dynamite or Boy With Luv or Permission to Dance even if it might not be your style, just because these songs are radio-friendly and popular. On the other hand, you might still be surprised by those, wo knows 😂.
That being said, I will recommend Wild Flower by RM feat. Youjeen. Another member, another style. RM is the poet of the group and you did suggest you like looking at the lyrics, so you might like it, even if it's a different sound from J-hope 🙂. I'm sure you have like a million other recommendations. It's difficult with us sometimes, BTS have so many great songs, we have a hard time picking one 😆
Let’s be honest… you can’t have 7 guys who can dance in one group and not have some pop radio cheese. It’s the nature of the beast! I’m just thrilled to see there’s so much more depth than that!!! 💜😎🔥
I wish people don’t group BTS as K-pop together. They are a genre of their own.
I get that now. 🤪😎🔥
J Hope - Lolapalooza
I've heard this a few times. One day soon I will sit down and listen to the entire set and post it here.
BTS are basically chameleons- it’s pretty common for Kpop artists to reinvent themselves with each new album. BTS are particularly good at that and are not afraid to experiment with music and style, especially if you throw in their solo projects.
Given by the kind of music you say you tend to prefer, I suspect this and Arson will be your favorites, especially if you don’t really care for rap (but this rap line might change your mind!)
They definitely have bubble gum pop/classic boy band feel songs, especially their English language trio, like Dynamite. But play that back to back with Mic Drop (harder, more hip hop) and then Fake Love or Black Swan (more arty) you’ll feel like you have even less of an idea who these guys are than before you started!
I appreciate that info! Lots of people have told me to check out Arson, so I'm pretty sure I'll fire that up in the next few days. Thanks so much!!!
Dont forget punk. It's Punk Rap. Jhope is definitely the rock star of the group. But none of the music is what you would expect.
Time for Arson and his live Lollapalooza concert.
😘💜🫰🏻🫶🏻
BTS started as a Hip Hop group. You will be shocked. 😂
I didn’t pick up on a punk vibe the first time through but I listened again and it definitely has those undertones. Thanks!!! 🔥🤘😎💜
j-hope's playlist u must check-out
1. lollapaloza aka Hobipaloza
2. MAMA arson live
3. Mic Drop ft. Steve Aioki
Awesome! Added to the list! Thank you so much!!! 💜🔥😎
Hola, me encanta la musica de JHOPE, y en vivo es muchísimo mejor con una banda en vivo, su versatilidad lo hace fusionar estilos, en su nuevo album JACK IN THE BOX lo volvio a demostrar con una mezcla de rock con hip hop, excelente. Y en vivo es un gigante. Gracias por la reaccion. Saludos desde MEXICO
I was really impressed with this and it's closes to the type of music I'd normally listen to. Loved the rapcore elements of it and can't wait to check out more! Gracias!
Hello 😊 You should react to Arson and On The Street by J-HOPE and J.COLE
Arson is on my short list. I’ll add On The Street too! Thanks! 💜😎🔥
Yoongi/Suga said: "BTS's genre is BTS"
That makes a LOT of sense!!! I like it!
@@ReactionsThatRock 💜💜💜
J Hope is amazing! More is my favorite from Jack in the Box. Watch Arson next. And for more Rock, React to The Rose, Back to Me, and Alive! They are a KRock band!
Arson is on my short list. I’ll be getting to the others too. Thanks for the recommendations!!! 💜😎🔥
If you haven't already, I highly recommend "Not Today", "Mic Drop", "Blood, Sweat and Tears", "Dope" and "Fire". These are group songs and they all have a killer beat. (They're part of my "BTS Bops" playlist on Spotify.)
I haven’t touched any of those yet! Thanks for the recommendations!!! 💜😎🔥
You are a Baby ARMY. As you delve farther into their music you will find yourself even more. He performed at Laloplooza. ARSON, and his whole album.He and SUGA are definitely more rap/hiphop/rock. Thank you as always for your review!!♾️💜❤️💜💕
I really am. I’ve got SOOOO much catching up to do. I think I might stick with my Tuesday two-fers going forward. Should help me catch up faster!
@ReactionsThatRock Tuesday was Run BTS episodes when zi found them. I would race home from work and watch the new one and then spend several hours in the rabbit hole. My son was freaking out. I am a 63 yo ARMY. Please keep exploring as they are worth it.
@@lindacirka7268 oh I definitely will do! I’m really loving (most of) what I’ve heard so far and I’ve really just barely scratched the surface!
Okay bud. Let’s go listen to Arson by Jhope next! 🔥
Its on my list and is DEFINITELY happening!
BTS is usually very deep. They can do the poppy songs too, but the majority of their songs have deeper meanings. You probably enjoy Suga, His self titled song Agust D, Haegeum or Daechwita, they are amazing. RM Wild Flower or Joke are not to be missed. RM, Suga (he goes by Agust D as a soloist - Suga spelled backward and the DT is for his hometown of Daegu) and J Hope are considered the rap line of BTS. With all three of them, Outro Tear, Ugh, Ddaeng, or any of the Cypers (1-4), are good starting points. Jin, Jimin, V, and Jungkook are considered the vocal line. Jin’s Epiphany, Abyss, Moon, or Astronaut are great, V’s Singularity, Stigma, Slow Dancing are wonderful. Jimin’s Lie or Filter are great solos and JungKook’s Stay Alive (produced by Suga), My Time, Begin, and Euphoria are wonderful . If you want to hear everyone, you can’t go wrong with Fake Love, Mic Drop (Steve Aoki Remix), Born Singer, Louder Than Bombs, Black Swan, Film Out, and Blood, Sweat, and Tears are great starting points. For just the vocal line, House of Cards, The Truth Untold, and Zero O’Clock are also good starting points. And yes, they have a lot to listen to, but they really cross all genres, so there is something for everyone. It’s always fun to see a reactor go into BTS with the “K-pop boy band “ mentality, only to be surprised by how talented and diverse they are muscially. Enjoy the rabbit hole! ARMY is there to help you if you have questions.
Awesome info!!! Thank you!
I also now know where Agust D got his name which was a bit of a mystery to me but now makes total sense!!! 💜🔥😎
I lost my shit when I heard this the first time. I got RATM, Morphine, Tool, with a little dash of Beastie Boys. Very grimy sound, I love this.
Perfectly summed up! Such depth of sound that in real was not expecting!
You might like their Festa Room Live performance. Medley of some of their bsides and it’s awesome
I’m not sure I’ve heard anyone recommend this yet! I’ll check it out! 💜🔥😎
You will love their harder songs like
Ddaeng
Outro:Tear
Cypher 1-4
Mic Drop
Joke by RM
Haegeum by Suga
Daechwita by Suga
And probably it will explain why a lot of armys are rock fans , me included
Watch Boracity Magazine “BTS are rockstars” and u will see why metal heads looooooove BTS
I appreciate it! I can also kinda see some similarities to BTS and the metal community especially in regards fan base and radio attention. 💜🔥😎
Dude they are so impressive it’s insane.
Yeah they are!!! 💜🔥😎
Fans getting j-hope through on his path may be indeed one of the meanings behind the song, but I believe a standout point would be the state of madness he reached after all the work he’s put in with bts and as a solo artist, and that, as the lyrics say “my work makes me breathe so I want more”. His stage for Lollapalooza is an amazing example of what I’m saying here, that is (at least in my eyes) an impeccable moment and people around him actually mentioned that preparing for that stage made him look almost not human because of how much of a perfectionist he became at that time. Anyway, too many words, enjoyed your reaction, thank you for giving the song a listen, hope we’ll see more on the future 💫 Have an amazing week!!
Never too many words!
I did catch that line and loved it. Shows that he loves what he does and loves for it and that’s a passion that’s impossible to hide. 💜🔥😎
