I think you seem like the best person. I really hope you and City of Sound just blow up. You make good, very good, music and I see how hard you work. 💜
What Army are shouting are bts fan chants. They start with the leader. Then it's from oldest to youngest. It goes like this: Kim Namjoon! Kim Seokjin! Min Yoongi! Jung Hoseok! Park Jimin! Kim Taehyung! Jeon Jungkook! BTS
have y'all checked his cover of The Astronaut - Jin tho??? his cover is amazing show some support as he did to our fave ruclips.net/video/e_EnqNtrnnY/видео.htmlfeature=shared 💜
NOTHING in all my 40+ years of concert going can compare to the feeling of being surrounded by 52K ARMY screaming "YOU CAN'T STOP ME LOVIN' MYSELF" :) They did a live performance of this for the Jimmy Fallon show and recorded it at Gyeongbokgung Palace, a NESCO Heritage site in Seoul. It is 1000000% worth checking out since you can see the full choreo and it is BEYOND beautiful! They also recorded Mikorkosmos there as well. This performance was at their 5th Muster, a special fan concert with skits and games as well... the same show with the "Dimple" and "Pied Piper" performance and the vocal line version of "Ddaeng". The crowd was chanting the fanchant, their names from Leader then oldest to youngest, BTS.
I can't get enough of the Idol performance at the Palace! It just blew me away,and the outfits were just beautiful ! Similar to what they wore singing 'd daeng!', when they all joined in!💜
This is, in fact, the most chaotic live version of the song I've ever seen. Better, more cohesive versions mentioned above 😸 This is one of the most intensive choreographies they've ever tackled 🌈

I love how this song was a clapback at both the people who said they were too Korean (not “Western” enough) and also the ones that said they weren’t Korean enough anymore. Traditional instrumentation, references to traditional folk singing and then performing in stylized hanboks a lot of the time. So glorious and perfect, so sassy.
Seeing the way BTS is able to hype up Army before & during this song is NUTS! I’ve never seen artists be able to make a stadium go wild & transform into a dance party. I legit thought SoFi would explode!!! It’s the most beautiful chaos ever 💜
The MV for this one is wild. This is what I heard (I wasn’t aware of BTS at that time). Basically, they were getting criticized for so many things - green screen (when they didn’t use it), clothes, glasses, not being Korean enough, whatever the other fandoms and Kpop companies could think of to make fun of. So in the MV they did it all, used green screen out the wazoo, glasses, weird clothes, bright colors, Korean cultural references all over the place, etc. It’s completely trippy. The song and the MV, one great big f-u. And then they made it a hit, and had a killer choreo, and that was a 10x f-u all the way to the bank. Very satisfying. Honestly, I really like Jimin’s fan bit in the MV and then his high notes, and the choreo is amazing (there are much better performances of it out there), but Hobi sweater is awesome and I want it 😂
idol is iconic - they were being criticized for not having a kpop sound, so they went full force with traditional instruments, traditional dancers on stage and even the mv is over the top in the best way; and they are so polite and positive about telling haters to f*off... also, i don't know what it is about a masculine man painting his nails black but ... yeah ... niiiice :)
Idol is ridiculous in concert. SO GOOD!!!! The hype, the music, the crowd interaction - the JUMPING!!! I can't wait to experience it again in 2025!!! 50K+ fans screaming "YOU CAN'T STOP ME LOVING MYSELF" at the top of their lungs is the BEST thing ever!!
@@selenenavarrete9050 We were at PTD Las Vegas day 3 & 4. In line for merch from 12:15 am until opening. By 10:20 am got all the merch we wanted because we were #20-21 at the line. At August D Chicago Concert, same thing, over 10 hours in line for merch.
Army was singing our fanchat, here I leave it for you : KIM NAMJOON , KIM SEOK-JIN, MIN YOONGI, JUNG HOSEOK, PARK JIMIN, KIM TAEHYUNG, JEON JUNGKOOK, BTS
The begining was the fandom chant! Its naming all the members oldest to youngest but with the leader first (RM is the 4th oldest. Middle child haha) It goes Kim namjoon (RM) Kim seokjin (jin) Min yoongi (suga) Jung hoseok (jhope) Park jimin (jimin lol) Kim taehyung (v) Jeon jungkook (JK) Bts!
I love the bass and the attack that Jimin does in this song so much V doesn't even speak, he already has a deep voice and when he attacks he's perfect 🛐🫠💜❤️🔥
with this song in particular they always find a way to bring korean culture to the stage when they perform it at awards shows and they do it flawlessly every time
I think we can tell you're here for the right reasons, love to see your enjoyment of every new BTS song. Keep the reactions coming. You're true blue Army now.
The crowd was chanting the army fan chant. It’s the leader first then the members in order of oldest to youngest ‘’Kim Namjoon, Kim Seok-Jin, Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung, Jeon Jungkook. BTS!!’’
They released Idol in 2018 because it was when they started gaining popularity in America, and they were accused by haters of becoming "westernized" to appeal the masses. BTS said "bet👌" and released this banger full of Asian sounds and imagery in the MV AND stages. The "chaos" you see at the end is Asian traditional dancers and images. Most of their live stages for Idol include Asian references because it's part of the concept that ties the song together. Once they started releasing English songs (2020 and on) the hate of "becoming westernized" came back in full force, so their performance of Idol in the Tonight Show is so significant, they performed from Korea in front of Gyeongbok Palace, a historic royal palace. They might be Wold Wide famous but the NEVER forget their origins.
This song was a clapback of sorts, when k media and people started saying BTS is westernized now, forgotten their culture and what not. They were starting to get recognition from the western media were doing interviews and award shows so. That’s why the lyrics. And the dance and the beats and melodies are very similar to the folk/traditional korean music. And the avatar on stage. This song is aggressive, not rapline aggressive but yeah. And a banger at concerts.
The crowd is doing the fan chant. It is the names of all the members starting with the leader, Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, Min Yoon-gi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung, Jean Jungkook, BTS💜
Idol was written as a response to accusations BTS was receiving from the KPop community of being too westernised, while also being ostracised from the Western Industry and constantly being disrespected and ostracised for being Korean. So BTS decided to do something that would piss both sides of this off. Idol incorporated traditional instruments and music styles, they danced in hanboks and incorporated so many cultural references that western audiences wouldn’t understand, producing the most kpopified music video I’ve ever seen, later pushing this song as an outlet to perform traditional Korean dances at Korean award shows. They asserted their pride in their culture as an ultimate form of self love, making it clear that not only do Kpoppies not get to decide they weren’t Korean enough, they weren’t about to act less Korean to make the western world more comfortable. But also, the original version of the song (this is a remix that incorporates more of the traditional instruments) incorporates elements of gqom an African style of EDM, a very deliberate choice highlighted by safari imagery and their iconic suits from this era- they were making yet another statement, we’re not westernised, we’re god damn GLOBAL. Idol has been the card they play ever since every time they get accused of being too westernised. During Dynamite promotions so many Kpoppies were being so loud about BTS having one English song among hundreds of Korean and Japanese masterpieces- while western sources were trying to make it seem like BTS had finally given in and were going to let go of their Korean identity to succeed in the west. So when they went on Jimmy Fallon for the week, they started out with a cute version of Dynamite with Jimmy and the Roots- and then immediately followed it with a performance of Idol in hanboks in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace.
The song is also the last point in their "Love Yourself" era. After going through the steps of creating the "perfect" relationship (any kind of really), noticing that they lost themselves to this/denied who they are - which lead to the destruction of the relationship - to aknowledgment that you have to love your "imperfect" self first before you "love" others. Idol is the celebration of this "Love Yourself". It's a beautiful journey that began with "Intro Serendibity" (and thought so many "new" words to Army). Three concept albums that only make full sense if you go from song to song till the last one to find the answer.
nice reaction. you should react to their 2018 MAMAs award show performance, Jungkook, jimin, and Jhope, eah doa short performance before the song start, celebrating Korean heritage. Jimin was recognized for his traditional fan dance. I believe this was aimed at the haters, especially the ones who dissed the rap line.
Being in the audience for this song is literally an entire experience. It’s so fun. Especially that they can get 60k+ people to scream you can’t stop me loving myself ALL TOGETHER. A total experience
The beginning is our fan chant. "Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung, Jeon Jungkook, BTS" You'll hear that at the start of almost all of their live performances
3:06 lol when BTS songs have long intros or rlly powerful intervals we sing their government names in order from oldest to youngest but we put Namjoon first bc he’s the leader plus BTS at the end. Kim Namjoon! Kim Seokjin! Min Yoongi! Jung Hoseok! Park Jimin! Kim Taehyung! Jeon Jungkook! BTS! Then sometimes there’s just a moment or two that felt right to just sing BTS! BTS! Boy with luv is a perfect example of both. While most of what u have experienced so far is concerts w just army, where things are more partying together w bside tracks & were a bit more rowdy, we try to be more organized for performance shows like inkigayo & award shows so we can participate wo taking away from the performance. It used to just be armys creating them on our own but we were so organized abt it that now the company takes the time to write them for us so we can have more time for studies or work. But it’s still nice to surprise them w smth extra we came up w ourselves at concerts from time to time. Ex: Reflection when Namjoon says “I wish I cld love myself” for four whole measures we responded to every time w “we love u” which inspired him to change the last two bars to “yes I do love myself” I need u to know that u are the ONLY yt I wld sit here & type all this for 😂
i loved the "im exhausted i need something fun" and the solution is play bts videos literally the other day i was feeling very very angsty i was just sad and upset and my mom was like "just sit down and put on bts videos thats always like your medicine" and she was damn right, i hadnt realize that out loud so that was nice she saw it first, i almost cried lol idol is a masterpiece, it is fucking demanding on them and they still do it and enjoy it every single time, you can see how they breathe at the end literally fighting for oxygen, its always amazingly performed, you really should watch more of idol performances youll see! its always amazingggggg
The beginning, it's fanchant by ARMYs goes like from oldest to youngest member, but RM's name at first as he's leader "Kim namjoon, Kim seok Jin, min yoongi, Jung hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim taehyung, Jeon Jungkook, BTS!”
Idol will always be THAT concert song. One of the highlights of every BTS concert and each time they whip up a new remix and it's always SO epic and hype. By the way, there is a video of BTS reacting to their debut stage performance and they make fun of each other when they don't know which camera to look at. 😂 BTS were rookies once too. But damn yes they are now veterans who always know where the camera is and how to work it!
ARMY were screaming the fanchant, it begins with RM as the leader, and then the rest of the members Kim Namjoon Kim Seokjin Min Yoongi Jung Hoseok Park Jimin Kim Taehyung Jeon Jungkook BTS
Its believed this song was a response to the main criticism they were facing at the time: that they were becoming "too westernised". Obviously this isnt true, people were just salty that bts was becoming so popular internationally and in the west, to an extent that no other kpop act has before (or since) The music video is also beautiful and well thought through !
All the best for your next show. I'm pretty sure you can do a big breakout, you and your band are so talented, love your music. I'm rooting for you. Greetings from germany
And this is the song that made me an ARMY. I was living in the darkness before I heard that. Loved this video, it reminded me of those early wonderful days.
No matter how many times I’ve seen this in concert it is still the best part of the concert - the energy in the whole arena/stadium is out of this world
Actually, the MV is pretty spectacular and full of Korean cultural symbolism. You would REALLY get a big kick out of it. It is EPIC as far as their MVs go! Best of luck to you. I have pre-saved Scars! 💜
Honestly you could make a reaction channel just to the incredibly IDOL performances. LOL This was the guys saying F U to the Kpop industry as well as the Western one. Finally just screaming i don't care what you think of me. call me whatever you want, i'm going to keep doing me cuz I love myself. It is CHILLING to be surrounded by ARMY when they perform this. Can't wait for your new music!
If you wanted to see another performance where Jimin (and V) have a lot of grit in their voice, "BTS We Are Bulletproof PT 2 Live 2016 Concert (Epilogue in Macau)" is my favorite!! It doesn't have lyrics on the video unfortunately, so you'll have to look those up on the side, but We Are Bulletproof pt 2 was one of the first songs they ever released, and it was them venting their frustrations about people who looked down on them and pointing out that they worked hard to get where they are. I think you can definitely feel that energy in the way they perform it!
my god you NEED to watch their mama 2018 performances! (Fake love and IDOL) One of their best live stages ever, in my opinion. The stage actually shook! Nice reaction btw
that sound you hear in the beginning in a fanchant. all kpop groups have them, instead of singing the lyrics you only say specific words. this specific fanchant is a namechant listing the members full names from leader (kim namjoon) and then oldest (kim seokjin, min yoongi, jung hoseok, park jimin, kim taehyung) to youngest (jeon jungkook)
I love how you can see the earlier moments of BTS’s habit of dropping a line here or there to prove their singing live during big performances, they started it in their mic drop era but have continued it to this day. Even during their Dynamite Performance for the Grammys. They’re LIVE and they’re going to make sure no one can argue that
This song is absolutely one of the loudest, most pounding, raging songs when you go to their concerts. Both at Sofi, and in Vegas, the stands were just shaking with the reaction of ARMY. I absolutely love it.
Presave SCARS! You are all worthy!

Same! He has such a great growl.
Yeah he needs to listen to Tony Montana, e.i. 😊
Dude, watch mma 2018 and 2019. I promise you won't regret it. If this performance is good, that is 10x much better😊
Absolutely
YES. Your guy has some focus time that will blow your mind.

If you love the grit in Jimin's voice I would recommend his and Suga's live performance of Tony Montana
They did Idol live at Wembley Stadium in 2019. It was a life altering experience. They are so good, the best performers.💜
I agree about the Jimin, "grit." His growl in that performance gets me EVERY time.
😍🥰🎶😊#OT7💜
I always watch your reacts waiting for you to pause the video and say "that's my guy right there" everytime Hobi shows up aonwednedowindndiowednow

nice reaction. you should react to their 2018 MAMAs award show performance, Jungkook, jimin, and Jhope, eah doa short performance before the song start, celebrating Korean heritage. Jimin was recognized for his traditional fan dance. I believe this was aimed at the haters, especially the ones who dissed the rap line.
Have we done a live medley yet? If you like to hear Jimin growling, there are a couple of medleys out there where he goes NUUUUUUUTS.
Just amazing how they can dance so hard, and then sing so clearly at the same time. They must practice singing while running marathons.
HOBI always delivers 💜
Being in the audience for this song is literally an entire experience. It’s so fun. Especially that they can get 60k+ people to scream you can’t stop me loving myself ALL TOGETHER. A total experience
4:14 for reference you should see the MV. It’s just a masterpiece and a real in your face all you haters

You'll hear that at the start of almost all of their live performances
Should we formally inform him that he is hobi biased? Haha
Yes he is .
He said "Thats my MAN!"
3:06 lol when BTS songs have long intros or rlly powerful intervals we sing their government names in order from oldest to youngest but we put Namjoon first bc he’s the leader plus BTS at the end.

I need u to know that u are the ONLY yt I wld sit here & type all this for 😂
This is one where I would recommend watching the official MV to get a better understanding of what’s happening. It’s fun too !
@3:00 This is the fanchant:

Park Jimin
Kim Taehyung
Jeon Jungkook

its a ritual now u pausing the video to say j hopes ur guy..its great

Loved that they are your break for the chows of life!!! Can’t wait for your new song!!!
Obviously can’t check autocorrect…meant chaos…not chows!!
All the best for your next show. I'm pretty sure you can do a big breakout, you and your band are so talented, love your music. I'm rooting for you. Greetings from germany
Thank you thank you!!!
And this is the song that made me an ARMY. I was living in the darkness before I heard that. Loved this video, it reminded me of those early wonderful days.
"you have no idea, have deep i am in their catalog" i'm in love with you my man
Beautiful chaos sums up BTS pretty much perfectly and it's one of the many things we love about them.
I love how much you love this beautiful chaos! 💜 I may see you on December 2!🤞🏻
OMG LETS GO! We haven't had a show that I've been able to promote to the YT crowd so that would be amazing!
No matter how many times I’ve seen this in concert it is still the best part of the concert - the energy in the whole arena/stadium is out of this world
Actually, the MV is pretty spectacular and full of Korean cultural symbolism. You would REALLY get a big kick out of it. It is EPIC as far as their MVs go!
Best of luck to you. I have pre-saved Scars! 💜
Honestly you could make a reaction channel just to the incredibly IDOL performances. LOL This was the guys saying F U to the Kpop industry as well as the Western one. Finally just screaming i don't care what you think of me. call me whatever you want, i'm going to keep doing me cuz I love myself. It is CHILLING to be surrounded by ARMY when they perform this.
Can't wait for your new music!
Idol was the first song I ever heard by BTS that made me fall in love with their music
I’m doing this for ur benefit pls watch August d and Jimin tony Montana u will never see jimin the same way again
I love how weak you are for jhope haha that’s my guy I love it everytime
If you wanted to see another performance where Jimin (and V) have a lot of grit in their voice, "BTS We Are Bulletproof PT 2 Live 2016 Concert (Epilogue in Macau)" is my favorite!!
It doesn't have lyrics on the video unfortunately, so you'll have to look those up on the side, but We Are Bulletproof pt 2 was one of the first songs they ever released, and it was them venting their frustrations about people who looked down on them and pointing out that they worked hard to get where they are. I think you can definitely feel that energy in the way they perform it!
my god you NEED to watch their mama 2018 performances! (Fake love and IDOL) One of their best live stages ever, in my opinion. The stage actually shook! Nice reaction btw
Me encanta del como ama a Hobi 😂💜💜💜
Jungkook looking at my soul at the end 👀💜
it’s so funny to see both you and GameBoyy slowly becoming army lmaooo
Best way to break it up. Idol is amazing ahaha❤ good luck on the show!
that sound you hear in the beginning in a fanchant. all kpop groups have them, instead of singing the lyrics you only say specific words. this specific fanchant is a namechant listing the members full names from leader (kim namjoon) and then oldest (kim seokjin, min yoongi, jung hoseok, park jimin, kim taehyung) to youngest (jeon jungkook)
Good luck with the show guys, you deserve it
I woke up from a nightmare and here you are.
Now I can go back to sleep. 💜
🥹❤️💚💙
The camera loves Jungkook. He looks, the camera moves 🤣
Idol always brings the house down! Saw this live in LA on Dec 2 , 2021, it was amazing!! Best of luck on your Dec 2 show!
Got the City of Sound t-shirt - it's beautiful and well made. "That's my guy right there."
OOOO I LOVE THAT
Anpanman reference !!! J may be sleep deprived, but he still knows music catalogs 💜
Plz react "Tony montana" live you see another jimin how raps with suga.💜
i live for every moment j-hope comes up in every video and u call out ur bias. lololol here for it.
That song and performance is spectacular!
I absolutely love how you react to J-Hope!!
I just love your whole vibe so much. Seriously. Can't wait for the new song!
lol @ recognizing Anpanman
Look, sometimes all you can say is "that was awesome" lol
I love how you can see the earlier moments of BTS’s habit of dropping a line here or there to prove their singing live during big performances, they started it in their mic drop era but have continued it to this day. Even during their Dynamite Performance for the Grammys.
They’re LIVE and they’re going to make sure no one can argue that
the best part...this performance is on the lower end of their epic scale for this song. this one they DO UP and go so hard with it.
I haven’t seen this live version, I love the normally cute Jimin with a bit of assertiveness added!
You've seen younger Jimin ,man was all aggressive.
5:34 ARMY sees, ARMY loves you for this
Scars was absolutely beautiful!! I love it!! Keep going strong 💪 City of Sound!! 💜❤️💜
Oooo thank you for supporting COS!
Kim Namjoon
Kim Seokjin
Min Yoongi
Jung Hoseok
Park Jimin
Kim Taehyung
Jeon Jungkook
BTS!
Glad you got a bit pumped up from this performance! Hope yours goes well in LA! Good luck, you deserve it!
This song is absolutely one of the loudest, most pounding, raging songs when you go to their concerts. Both at Sofi, and in Vegas, the stands were just shaking with the reaction of ARMY. I absolutely love it.
I love you fanboying over your guy! He is my guy too!!!
Jhope 🔥🔥🔥
Every BTS song is a banger. Every. Single. One. Its mind blowing actually.
That's my man right there as well 💕
Pls check out BTS at Wembley Concert! Its out of this world! Thats where the Rap line did the Cypher that u reacted to!
Oh yes please as I was there it was insane.
