Just like Namjoon said language has no barriers . If we are curious as to what they are saying we can easily look up the lyrics. So many people are drawn to them because they discuss topics that we can relate to in our daily life.
The reason they are so popular I believe (as a fan myself) is that besides the fact they are incredible performers it is because most of us can relate to their lyrics. They have translations everywhere (on the music videos too btw). It is important to know that BTS was originally a hip-hop group (you should check out songs like No More Dream, Cypher Pt 2, 3 and 4, Spine Breaker, Silver Spoon, Outro Her, Outro Tear, DDaeng) so in most of their songs they talk about real shit like dealing with money problems, mental health, struggling with loving yourself, losing friends, and they often criticize their society (Korea) which is extremely strict. It is very rare for a k-pop group to talk about such things as they are very controversial in Korea. When they debuted as a group in 2013 they were seen as problematic because of that so it was very hard for them to make their way through. The three rappers (RM, Suga, J-Hope) all come from the underground rap scene in Korea; they produce most of the bts songs themselves and they said they take their inspirations from Nas, Eminem, Kanye, Pharrell etc. (check out the song "Joke" by the rapper and leader RM, "Agust D" by Suga and "Airplane" by J-Hope, you'll see what I mean). But also, their personalities, the chemistry and strong bond between the members, their style, their humility and gratefulness etc are all of the many reasons we love them and want them to succeed.
Khadijah just wanted to say that only RM and Suga were in the underground rap scene. J-Hope was a street dancer and learned to rap later on through RM‘s and Suga‘s help
yeah theirs a version with Nicki, they asked her to be on it because they are huge fans of her and they thought she would fit perfectly into the song. That's the version being sent to radio. I think Nicki said the music video for that version comes out soon. BTS always do their thing and I think they could become even bigger, really talented.
It’s more than the visuals that draw people to them, it’s also their lyrics which they write themselves, their dance skills, their respect for the art and also their relationship dynamic with each other
Billboard just announced they have the #1 album with the ‘love yourself: answer’ they released it on aug. 24th. It’s their 2nd album to top bb200. The other album did it back in May. 😌👑
In Asian countries, it’s believed to said that rabbits were seen active in the moon. It’s an old folk tale that’s pretty popular especially in Japan. They even have a holiday in September I believe on a full moon eating mochi dango* (a Japanese traditional snack.)
3:30 they have millions of fans not just because their visuals. but because they have strong talents. vocals, raps, and dancing. not even that, their personality and how humble they are and how they always put army first and always reminds us that they are always thankful for us.
It's also a lot of behind of the scene stuff like Bangtan Bombs. Where u can really connect and appreciate them regardless of the language barrier. But that barrier is also not always there because of subtitles in videos and RM who can translate as well.
This song was meant to be a homage to their culture and embracing that they truly are Idols... (the term for popstar in Korea.) The dance where you see them epically jumping is a traditional dance. These fun facts enrich the body of work that is a BTS video (in my opinion.)
@@ijustwannabehappier-v4973 it’s supposed to be a traditional Korean style song as a way to pay homage. That’s why there’s different Korean folklore in the video
@@quarantinevoid1926 I know?? But the entire song was inspired by african style of dancing + african print suits. The feel and look of it is more african than korean. They themselves claimed so aswell.
The fact they gained this much of audience is pure hard work and dedication towards their music. From no ones to this much fame you should or must react to bts from nobodies to legends then you’ll understand their position. Rabbit in the moon is reference from their previous video and is in Korean culture. Shark is reference to haters.
You asked how they can captivate so many people and for me they are so entertaining to watch. The dance routines are insane. A lot of the imagery in this video is apparently from traditional Korean stories. They also captivate because they are all hot!
it might seem odd why Bts have such a huge reach but that’s mostly because it wasn’t until 2017 that Bts really blew up, they’ve been around since 2013 and their fanbase has been going unnoticed since then and has grown. They’ve always had a huge international following, even more than fans in their own country people knew them as more popular overseas. The fans have always been there so when Bts went through the bbmas last year everyone just got shocked at how they have all this support, it wasn’t an overnight thing. The fans have always been there, everyone else the media other celebrities are just shocked at the sheer number of people who love them bc to them bts came out of nowhere. From the start Bts have had creative freedom of their music so they’ve been able to talk about issues that relate to them, fans overseas had no trouble relating to them even though there was an obvious language barrier. There are many fans who work (for free) to translate bts content, their lyrics and etc to help non korean fans to understand and that’s generally how it’s been and will continue to be. We know there’s a barrier but music truly does transcend language
How BTS caught my attention, was how their lyrics transcend barriers. They help me through the toughest mental issues. Visuals are a bonus, but the fact that they sing about mental health & society for youth. BTS is an impact. They use their platform to bring awareness, as they are ambassadors for UNICEF. Yes, there are some female fans but you can see some male fans, who we love & appreciate as well.
About tge rabbit in the moon comment, they are paying homage to sailor moon beacuse the MC name is usagi wgich meens bunny or rabbit, and her last name is tsukino, which means moon, so her name is 'bunny in the moon' which is also a legend.
The fact that you guys just call the video stupid without the reason behind why they made it like that is just dumb! The whole point of the video was to make the graphics look like that and colorful, no need to call it stupid. At least the lyrics are expressing the way the they feel as idols because the meaning behind the song is way different than anyone could imagine, especially since RM (leader) writes the songs and he adds emotion to it and is very sensitive when it comes to writing lyrics! I’m pretty sure most of us are ARMY and Ik for a fact that this video is not stupid because the lyrics have a meaning of them being idols, and rich (Edit: make sure to watch make it right the live performance, you’ll see how great they are but you already can by watching more videos)
Everything in the background has so much symbolism. They have been criticized for becoming more Westernized so they put a lot of their culture. The rabbit in the moon is folklore symbolizing immortality, some of the dancing is classic Korean dancing, as well as some of the buildings
They pretty much the total package, singing, dancing, rapping, looks, versatile sound and strong performers. People also sympathize with their underdog story. No matter how big, they remain humble and continue to pay respect and genuinely love their fans. Whether some of their music is for you or not, it's consistently high quality and they good people. Personally, I don't need deep meaning or even have to understand the lyrics to appreciate a song. The beat and vibe it puts out is enough for me.
bts captivate others through their talent. it’s not an everyday thing you see with western artists where they can rap, dance and sing. with bts and kpop as a whole, you get the whole package. as well, bts are such humble guys who are respectful and selfless. their personalities are amazing and help attract others. most importantly, their lyrics are what really brings us together. they talk about such deep topics that aren’t typically spoken about. many songs nowadays don’t have messages that are significant. bts discuss things that everyone can relate to. although they sing in korean, there are many translations found online. they’re helping break language barriers and allow others to become more open and appreciative of different cultures. i don’t think you need to understand an artist to fully enjoy their music, i think what matters most is how they are as human beings delivering their music to others.
It's not only the visuals ... it's also their lyrics they are very deep. Everything on that video has a meaning. You should watch the video that explains this music video. There's also CC on the video so you know what they are talking about.
There lyrics are relatable but let us think.....name me truly popular groups in the US ...guys, singing well, with relatable lyrics, great dancing skills. Not many left in the US.
Most of BTS fans like them because they make deep songs, like the messages they trying to send are really powerful, and they write and produce their songs, so I guess that make them more relatable to alot of people. Btw thank you for the reaction!
They're loved worldwide because they've worked their butts off to get where they are now, usually practicing up to 16hrs a day, ive been a fan since their debut back in June 2013, I've seen them grow, after all their wins and upsets they're still the same boys and humble as ever, their music is awesome but their lyrics have meaning, they talk about worldwide issues, mental illness, depression which is why they partnered with UNICEF and their campaign is called love yourself. But most of all they love their fans, ARMY is usually the first word that comes out of their mouths when accepting an award. Plus they're cute and they're personalities are the purest and goofiest. lol I love the fact that y'all are fans of them. Keep grindin and you guys will reach your goals soon. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
the whole video is based on their korean culture and the lyrics too. they also don’t make their mv. but language doesn’t matter when connecting w someone. they have impacted the world for asians and for people of youth and have such caring souls.
the rabbit in the moon? it's a folk tale in Korea :) It symbolizes a rabbit who gave himself to a homeless man who was hungry to eat, and the homeless man blessed him/put him in the moon to be recognized by all for his great sacrifice! Touching tale :)
It's the lyrics they write that touch us and makes us stay and want to support them. Other things are also good like their looks, performance, choreo, video, fashion, spectacle, storyline. But u still go back to lyrics that touches you, comforts you, give you strength, and make you happy. That it BTS to me.
Hey, to answer your question... My main language is spanish and I used to listen a lot of music in english even dont knowing what the song it says. Back in that time (15ys ago) if I liked a song I went to internet to look for the lyrics and some of those lyrics that I didnt have translations I sat with a diccionary to look for the words one by one to understand what the artist were singing. Now I do the same with Korean. So the language is not a problem when you can access easily translations in just 5 minutes. The harder way, learn a new language lol Anyways. Apart from the great music, BTS has really meaningful lyrics, great performances, and more. For sure they are handsome but is not what matters to ARMY. We love them for the great artist that they are and their lovely personalities. Guy, I won´t spend my money and my time in just a beauty face that for sure lol Also if you ask me I prefer the live performances than the MVs.
Bapaknya Seto Mulyadi and what about RM? Is he a part of the vocal line now? Don’t mention rapline of you won’t include all of them. The rapline is incomplete without RM. Get it right.
Did you press cc for caption. One of the reasons of their popularity is their messages in the songs. They write their songs and highly participate in producing process.
Actually I understand your question, why are BTS popular, you see a music video and think thats great but how do they get that much attention. Its not the music video, you look at behind the scenes, funny moments, or even Who is BTS, or from nobodies to legends you will understand why. They are genuinely loving and friendly with their fan base it stands out how they feel about them and how they feel about each other. We watch that and admire that in amongst everything going on in the world or with our families there can be so much sincereity wrapped up in one group. They are all multi talents, some can dance and rap, others sing dance and act, others sing, dance and athletic.
all the stuff you didn't understand is korean culture related, like the rubbit in th e moon means immortality...there's a video explanation on the meanings reat to it and the nick minaj featuring
For me, their lyrics are very relatable. Their fans are very diverse too consisting of different genders, ages, nationalities, etc. and I'm sure each fan has their own reasons for liking BTS. For me its definitely the lyrics though! ^-^
I always look forward to your BTS reaction. I like that you’re not a BTS/Kpop reaction channel and not an army necessarily (idk are you?), but that you always check out their new stuffs cuz you like them and appreciate their talents. Keep doing you n keep reacting to my boys please 👍🏼
i think they manage to captivate even millions of fans that don't know what the eff they be saying because they write and produce all of this themselves. there aren't many artists that that's true for, even in the US people write to other people's beats or get given tracks written for/by other artists etc. etc. with BTS this is literally ALL THEM and i think that comes across in their performance. they never half ass this ish. they do promo stuff in korea where they're literally up all night and all day practicing and recording takes and just waiting the hell around and fans say they be near fainting in between takes but as soon as they're on that stage they're ON. i think that's possible for them because every little bit of what they're performing they've perfected themselves and they always want to do it justice. you can see that so clearly in HOW they put on a show and that's why it don't always matter if we know what they saying. it's like when y'all say you don't understand the words but you KNOW they be snappin, or when ken "becomes one with the song" and feels like he knows what they saying when he doesn't.
The visual of the video was based on culture things in Korea. Like the house and the giants things dancing around. The bunny in the moon is because Korean really believed there was an bunny in the moon 😂 but the song is really korean culture appreciation. 감사합니다❤️
BTS have important lyrics some of which have been connected to for over 2.5 years. Many concepts are based on novels. BTS are smart af. You can not underestimate the audience’s (international as well) desire for meaningful music. Something western artist need to pick up on. The lyrics coupled with HARD work. Seriously hard work to perform as they do and create as they do is something people are willing to pay for. Insert Billboard 200 chart here. Lol.
Intro🙆.... Okay Alan👀! We see you. You done snapped on the new song fr😆. Go check it out y'all! It's straight🔥! I low-key have been playing it in my car every morning to work for the last few days😂😂. At this point my colleagues know when I pull up😂🤣.
The rabbit in the moon part is based on Korean mythology wherein it is said that rabbits live on the moon and they symbolise immortality. I'm sure there's more explanation as to why but that's all i know of it XD Maybe somebody else can take my explanation further? =)
They have CC or caption on their videos. That's just scratching the surface, though. They write, produce their songs with other producers. Then you have seen them dance, right? It translates to their live performance. Now imagine all that and then some. Because their albums have stories. They have created an alternate Bangtan (BTS) universe parallel with the albums they come out with. Their songs talk of their struggles of loving themselves, depression, people bringing them down, problems of youth. They're deep, that's Why, even if you don't understand what they're saying, you get them. You get their point. You then want to support them
Every fan of bts knows what they saying.. first of all we can google the translated lyrics second there are captions... third there are also men who like bts.. :) btw you dont need to cut the video
3:37 subtitles Shows Live streams Their personality Their positive music Their dance Social media Their shows Their videos Its just different from kpop and any other music
if u had saw the lyrics you will also understand why us fans love their songs its cuz there is always meaning to what they say and they try sending us messages like love yourself and you cant stop me loving myself if u saw the lyrics to idol youll understand
yall gotta on CC for eng trans of the lyrics! the lyrics are very important, they wrote it themselves and its always meaningful. and dont have to cut the vid cuz bighit (their company) treat it as free promo (unless yall really wanna do it).
I’m apart of BTS Army‼️ What draws me in is the lyrics, the way they perform and the unique voices they have. You should look up the lyrics in English. And the rabbit in the moon is not random. It’s a Korean legend(you should also look up)
It's their message as well as their talent and determination. That's what attracts. They are not just another kpop machine churned out by the big 3. That's what I feel personally. The only other kpop group I liked was B.A.P (who were almost completely ruined by their own agency). Both groups were on a different level bc they are more themselves and less of a product.
Personally I got into them because of their sound and visuals. Then I began to look into their lyrics and the message they want to send. It varies depending on the person tho honestly.
The reason the graphics and edits suck is because they made it like that. It’s saying that they can make there videos however they want and show stereotypes that mvs don’t need to be aesthetic.
They do use allot of symbolism in their songs/MVs that everyone can relate too, they’re really down to earth group of guys.....hahaha some of the back up dancers couldn’t really keep up with BTS because they were dancing so fast, but not allot of people picked up on that!
I think you're missing the whole point in here... They're insanely popular because they are more than visuals and rhythm, their lyrics are incredibly poetic, you should look it up or turn on the cc, the sing about relevant, important issues.. Not at all like most popular artists nowadays. The thing is this song is about them setting themselves free from all of those stereotypes they've been typecast.... You should do a little bit more research, just an advice.
BTS may be extremely famous, talented, rich, may speak another language. But they appeal to ARMY because they connect with us. They are humble, they let themselves be vulnerable, they connect to fans on an emotional level. Their music captures something in us, fills a whole. ARMY isn’t just teen girls. Most of us are grown adults in our 30s, 40s and 50s. Both men and women of all orientations, religions and creeds. All over the world. They understand us and us them. They have a mission of self love and ending violence towards kids.
just a heads up for future reactions, you don't need to skip parts of the song. Big Hit Entertainment considers these reactions as a way of making BTS more popular, so they don't demonetize the video if you show the whole thing. :)
They are popular because they are genuine artist. They write, rap, sing and produce their own music. They share a lot of themselves with their fans (ARMY). It’s a fandom that is tight like family 😊. Thank you for giving them a listen and for being opened minded.
Back when they first started out under a small unknown record label company they didn’t have the budget so Everything in their MVs was REAL (NO CGI) just extreme editing up until this MV from seeing it when it came out I was speechless but at the same time observing they really experiment with allot of green screen and I was blown away!
honestly you cant really pin point just one thing or a few things about bts that hooks people in because literally everything hooks ppl in. their beautiful personalities, their love for each other, their passion, the visuals, the music obviously, how they love different cultures and all different ppl from other cultures, how woke they are when it comes to the deep meanings that they have in songs, I could go on and on
Also it isn’t just bts it’s KPOP as a whole, a lot of people who only became a fan within the last two years really like bts since they are breaking charts, but old school listeners love bts and all the older groups because they are the reason why groups like bts, exo, black pink, etc can even perform in America.
At first I wasn't too much into Idol but your mind will be blown away after you see this live performance BTS - IDOL [Music Bank Ep 944] Now I'm hooked to this song because of this!
watch *and react pls* to "who is bts: the 7 members of bangtan" and "bts from nobodies to legends" videos, and you'll understand why people stay/are loyal/and love bts. plus the messages, lyrics, he fact that they produce and write their whole music and discography, and performance abilities *watch live performances*. :) and ofc their personalities.
The reason why the have so many fans, both male and female is because their music resonates with the youth and today's problems around the world. They send messages and connect with their fans through the lyrics. You should start with their very first song and go from there. Not many artists today spend the time with their fans, or care enough to send messages through their music.

Victoria M Exactly 👏🏾👌🏾💓
Namjoon is my favourite. I love him

I agree
Armixer _ that’s right
WELL SAID 👏

I think Nicki said the music video for that version comes out soon. BTS always do their thing and I think they could become even bigger, really talented.
Its already Here haha
Actually Nicki asked them if she could be on it not the other way around from what I understand. Somebody research that.
It’s more than the visuals that draw people to them, it’s also their lyrics which they write themselves, their dance skills, their respect for the art and also their relationship dynamic with each other
And the humor 🤣😂

Rabbit in the moon is from Korean folk tale.
And tiger is Korea's national emblem.
Whoa! You sure know alot. 😍

BTS have been through thick in thin like lots of people can relate to their songs like struggles in our everyday life
i would say y’all have to watch “from nobodies to legends” , who is bts : the seven members of bangtan” or watch some of their live performances.
it’s the lyrics, man. yes, their visuals are outstanding but their song lyrics are just so relatable.

Personally, I don't need deep meaning or even have to understand the lyrics to appreciate a song. The beat and vibe it puts out is enough for me.
The Rabbit in the Moon is the popular Korean fairytale/folklore story and that's why they incorporated that aspect : )
There's a lot of fans that use their free-time to sub BTS videos in English, Chinese, Spanish etc. That way all of us can understand ^^
bts captivate others through their talent. it’s not an everyday thing you see with western artists where they can rap, dance and sing. with bts and kpop as a whole, you get the whole package. as well, bts are such humble guys who are respectful and selfless. their personalities are amazing and help attract others. most importantly, their lyrics are what really brings us together. they talk about such deep topics that aren’t typically spoken about. many songs nowadays don’t have messages that are significant. bts discuss things that everyone can relate to. although they sing in korean, there are many translations found online. they’re helping break language barriers and allow others to become more open and appreciative of different cultures. i don’t think you need to understand an artist to fully enjoy their music, i think what matters most is how they are as human beings delivering their music to others.

the rabbit in the moon? it's a folk tale in Korea :) It symbolizes a rabbit who gave himself to a homeless man who was hungry to eat, and the homeless man blessed him/put him in the moon to be recognized by all for his great sacrifice! Touching tale :)
4:45
Don't the Japanese also have a story about the rabbit in the moon pounding mochi? I can't remember where I heard that.
@@toxigenic yeah Japanese, Chinese, Korean, they all have a similar folktale like it, i think
It's the lyrics they write that touch us and makes us stay and want to support them. Other things are also good like their looks, performance, choreo, video, fashion, spectacle, storyline. But u still go back to lyrics that touches you, comforts you, give you strength, and make you happy. That it BTS to me.
This video is filled with a lot of Korean symbolism.
Hey, to answer your question... My main language is spanish and I used to listen a lot of music in english even dont knowing what the song it says. Back in that time (15ys ago) if I liked a song I went to internet to look for the lyrics and some of those lyrics that I didnt have translations I sat with a diccionary to look for the words one by one to understand what the artist were singing. Now I do the same with Korean. So the language is not a problem when you can access easily translations in just 5 minutes. The harder way, learn a new language lol Anyways.
Apart from the great music, BTS has really meaningful lyrics, great performances, and more. For sure they are handsome but is not what matters to ARMY. We love them for the great artist that they are and their lovely personalities. Guy, I won´t spend my money and my time in just a beauty face that for sure lol
Also if you ask me I prefer the live performances than the MVs.
Please react to bts rap line
Bts - Outro tear
J hope - Airplane
Suga - Agust d
RM ft wale - Change
Bapaknya Seto Mulyadi Rm Joke
Shade 😒 what about namjoon?
"Rap line"
_shows Suga and Jhope_
:/
Bapaknya Seto Mulyadi and what about RM? Is he a part of the vocal line now? Don’t mention rapline of you won’t include all of them. The rapline is incomplete without RM. Get it right.
What about rm? 🤦🏻♀️ React to Joke, do you and God monster, changes (wale) champion (fob) by rm 🙄
Did you press cc for caption.
One of the reasons of their popularity is their messages in the songs.
They write their songs and highly participate in producing process.
Doesn't matter what language, a good tune is a good tune. simples
Actually I understand your question, why are BTS popular, you see a music video and think thats great but how do they get that much attention. Its not the music video, you look at behind the scenes, funny moments, or even Who is BTS, or from nobodies to legends you will understand why. They are genuinely loving and friendly with their fan base it stands out how they feel about them and how they feel about each other. We watch that and admire that in amongst everything going on in the world or with our families there can be so much sincereity wrapped up in one group. They are all multi talents, some can dance and rap, others sing dance and act, others sing, dance and athletic.
all the stuff you didn't understand is korean culture related, like the rubbit in th e moon means immortality...there's a video explanation on the meanings reat to it and the nick minaj featuring
For me, their lyrics are very relatable. Their fans are very diverse too consisting of different genders, ages, nationalities, etc. and I'm sure each fan has their own reasons for liking BTS. For me its definitely the lyrics though! ^-^
BTS i known not only for their looks but for the meaning behind their lyrics. if your interested their is an explanation mv for bts idol look for it.
Tiger is the symbol of Korea. Rabbit on the moon is from asian mythology. This video is packed with symbolism
I always look forward to your BTS reaction. I like that you’re not a BTS/Kpop reaction channel and not an army necessarily (idk are you?), but that you always check out their new stuffs cuz you like them and appreciate their talents. Keep doing you n keep reacting to my boys please 👍🏼
i think they manage to captivate even millions of fans that don't know what the eff they be saying because they write and produce all of this themselves. there aren't many artists that that's true for, even in the US people write to other people's beats or get given tracks written for/by other artists etc. etc. with BTS this is literally ALL THEM and i think that comes across in their performance. they never half ass this ish. they do promo stuff in korea where they're literally up all night and all day practicing and recording takes and just waiting the hell around and fans say they be near fainting in between takes but as soon as they're on that stage they're ON. i think that's possible for them because every little bit of what they're performing they've perfected themselves and they always want to do it justice. you can see that so clearly in HOW they put on a show and that's why it don't always matter if we know what they saying.
it's like when y'all say you don't understand the words but you KNOW they be snappin, or when ken "becomes one with the song" and feels like he knows what they saying when he doesn't.
The visual of the video was based on culture things in Korea. Like the house and the giants things dancing around. The bunny in the moon is because Korean really believed there was an bunny in the moon 😂 but the song is really korean culture appreciation. 감사합니다❤️
BTS have important lyrics some of which have been connected to for over 2.5 years. Many concepts are based on novels. BTS are smart af. You can not underestimate the audience’s (international as well) desire for meaningful music. Something western artist need to pick up on. The lyrics coupled with HARD work. Seriously hard work to perform as they do and create as they do is something people are willing to pay for. Insert Billboard 200 chart here. Lol.
Intro🙆.... Okay Alan👀! We see you. You done snapped on the new song fr😆. Go check it out y'all! It's straight🔥! I low-key have been playing it in my car every morning to work for the last few days😂😂. At this point my colleagues know when I pull up😂🤣.
The rabbit in the moon part is based on Korean mythology wherein it is said that rabbits live on the moon and they symbolise immortality. I'm sure there's more explanation as to why but that's all i know of it XD Maybe somebody else can take my explanation further? =)
You don’t have too skip the video. BIGHIT considers it free promotion. You won’t get copyrighted 😂
They have CC or caption on their videos. That's just scratching the surface, though. They write, produce their songs with other producers. Then you have seen them dance, right? It translates to their live performance.
Now imagine all that and then some. Because their albums have stories. They have created an alternate Bangtan (BTS) universe parallel with the albums they come out with. Their songs talk of their struggles of loving themselves, depression, people bringing them down, problems of youth. They're deep, that's Why, even if you don't understand what they're saying, you get them. You get their point. You then want to support them
That synchronised head bop is y'alls signature move 😂😂😂 my faves!
Every fan of bts knows what they saying.. first of all we can google the translated lyrics second there are captions... third there are also men who like bts.. :) btw you dont need to cut the video
3:37 subtitles
Shows
Live streams
Their personality
Their positive music
Their dance
Social media
Their shows
Their videos
Its just different from kpop and any other music
if u had saw the lyrics you will also understand why us fans love their songs its cuz there is always meaning to what they say and they try sending us messages like love yourself and you cant stop me loving myself if u saw the lyrics to idol youll understand
Believe it or not that shirt itself with the hearts on it that V is wearing is about $3,717 dollars...that’s ridiculous
yall gotta on CC for eng trans of the lyrics! the lyrics are very important, they wrote it themselves and its always meaningful. and dont have to cut the vid cuz bighit (their company) treat it as free promo (unless yall really wanna do it).
I'm an english speaker and I can sing their lyrics, it might not make sense at first but it eventually will after many attempts.
I’m apart of BTS Army‼️ What draws me in is the lyrics, the way they perform and the unique voices they have. You should look up the lyrics in English. And the rabbit in the moon is not random. It’s a Korean legend(you should also look up)
YOU CAN'T STOP ME LOVING MA SELF OHOHOHOHHH💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
It's their message as well as their talent and determination. That's what attracts. They are not just another kpop machine churned out by the big 3. That's what I feel personally. The only other kpop group I liked was B.A.P (who were almost completely ruined by their own agency). Both groups were on a different level bc they are more themselves and less of a product.
Personally I got into them because of their sound and visuals. Then I began to look into their lyrics and the message they want to send. It varies depending on the person tho honestly.
Great ! Reaction I love y’all and I never clicked so fast in my life 😂
You dont have to jump cut at all because big hit doesnt copyright strike but also you dont have to jump cut that much in general.
I actually became a fan of BTS because of you guys, when yall reacted to M.I.C Drop. It was my first time listening to KPOP, their lyrics are amazing.
The reason the graphics and edits suck is because they made it like that. It’s saying that they can make there videos however they want and show stereotypes that mvs don’t need to be aesthetic.
there’s no barriers when it comes to music! 🤩
You don’t have to skip bts MVs their company like the advertising
They do use allot of symbolism in their songs/MVs that everyone can relate too, they’re really down to earth group of guys.....hahaha some of the back up dancers couldn’t really keep up with BTS because they were dancing so fast, but not allot of people picked up on that!
Bermuda triangle by zico, Dean, and crush
DEADASS
Yessss
Ikkk I said it last time but ion think they saw it
I hope they react to it.
yesssss! they need to do this!
Rabbit in the moon is from Korean(and other Asian countries) folklore.
4:48 if you want to find out the true meaning behind idol watch bts idol explained by Korean
they broke the record with 56 million in 24 hours, not 45 mil, RUclips be trippin.
I think you're missing the whole point in here... They're insanely popular because they are more than visuals and rhythm, their lyrics are incredibly poetic, you should look it up or turn on the cc, the sing about relevant, important issues.. Not at all like most popular artists nowadays. The thing is this song is about them setting themselves free from all of those stereotypes they've been typecast.... You should do a little bit more research, just an advice.
BTS may be extremely famous, talented, rich, may speak another language. But they appeal to ARMY because they connect with us. They are humble, they let themselves be vulnerable, they connect to fans on an emotional level. Their music captures something in us, fills a whole. ARMY isn’t just teen girls. Most of us are grown adults in our 30s, 40s and 50s. Both men and women of all orientations, religions and creeds. All over the world. They understand us and us them. They have a mission of self love and ending violence towards kids.
5:50 the guy on the right lmao
Watch BTS from nobodies to legends then you'll understand why we love them so much ❤❤❤
just a heads up for future reactions, you don't need to skip parts of the song. Big Hit Entertainment considers these reactions as a way of making BTS more popular, so they don't demonetize the video if you show the whole thing. :)
They are popular because they are genuine artist. They write, rap, sing and produce their own music. They share a lot of themselves with their fans (ARMY). It’s a fandom that is tight like family 😊. Thank you for giving them a listen and for being opened minded.
Simple. Their Dancing. Catchy and deep songs. Got people hooked like a fish.
Back when they first started out under a small unknown record label company they didn’t have the budget so Everything in their MVs was REAL (NO CGI) just extreme editing up until this MV from seeing it when it came out I was speechless but at the same time observing they really experiment with allot of green screen and I was blown away!
honestly you cant really pin point just one thing or a few things about bts that hooks people in because literally everything hooks ppl in. their beautiful personalities, their love for each other, their passion, the visuals, the music obviously, how they love different cultures and all different ppl from other cultures, how woke they are when it comes to the deep meanings that they have in songs, I could go on and on
Touch the caption button so you can see what there saying in the songs they produce
Some of the stuff in the MV is like Korean folklore representations like the rabbit in the moon.
Watching with English subtitles makes it more enjoyable. I'm a new BTS fan. The more I learn, the more I respect them. They are truly a brotherhood.
Also it isn’t just bts it’s KPOP as a whole, a lot of people who only became a fan within the last two years really like bts since they are breaking charts, but old school listeners love bts and all the older groups because they are the reason why groups like bts, exo, black pink, etc can even perform in America.
That was an interesting video with Afro inspired choreo
SB:
Y'all better be this silly and dun at the meet and greet cause that is my actual B-Day .👊
A rabbit on the moon is actually a asian story.. so that's probably where it came from🤣.. but this song is my shidd..
At first I wasn't too much into Idol but your mind will be blown away after you see this live performance BTS - IDOL [Music Bank Ep 944]
Now I'm hooked to this song because of this!
watch *and react pls* to "who is bts: the 7 members of bangtan" and "bts from nobodies to legends" videos, and you'll understand why people stay/are loyal/and love bts. plus the messages, lyrics, he fact that they produce and write their whole music and discography, and performance abilities *watch live performances*. :) and ofc their personalities.
Gang gang gang! #notifsquad ♥️ BTS #IDOL 👑👑
Jin is the moon, the rabbit is JK. They are just representing themselves - their animated characters.
I never clicked on something so fast except for BTS 😂😂 but anyway I was waiting on this one 😭💜
The reason why the have so many fans, both male and female is because their music resonates with the youth and today's problems around the world. They send messages and connect with their fans through the lyrics. You should start with their very first song and go from there. Not many artists today spend the time with their fans, or care enough to send messages through their music.
Omg finally😭❤️ I been waiting👀
First of all, that intro was fire!!! The rap was smooth af.
not just their visual but we all stan their fuckin' talent i mean TALENT!🔥that is number one in our things
Music is universal. Music transcends. Bts are multi-talented versatile artists that reach a variety of people. #armyforever
