" once u associated them with their keywords, forget all what I have said - cz BTS love to break out of their labeled boxes" ... Girl that was genius 😮👏💯
Yes! During the keyword section I was thinking "ah, this is pretty good for a super quick intro to the members, but it seems over-simplified..." then she flipped it around and I was satisfied. It really is impossible to explain the BTS members as any kind of simple 'type' they all have so much range. The only way to understand "who is BTS" is to actually listen to their albums, read their lyrics, watch their performances, interviews, behind-the-scenes videos etc. By the time you've done that, you'll probably be a fan.
No seriously I think about this fact randomly every other day lol. And when they comeback I’m so scared (in a good way) to see how they’re gonna absolutely demolish the music industry once more.. & they’re not even at their peak yet- not even close broo
I think it's very important to realize that their main quality is being hard working. They don't give up. Talent without hard work and dedication is nothing.
@@prunelle9068 This can't be said enough! Yes they all have unique and special talents but innate talent isn't enough, they're also highly skilled and developed artists, and that's because they work incredibly hard and never get complacent. That comes from being self-motivated, not pushed by a company, and being in this career because they truly love making music and performing, not just to be rich and famous. Even now they've reached success they're still so humble, they always talk about how they can improve, how they can expand their range, and deepen their connection with music. That's why even though new fans sometimes say "oh, I'm sad I missed so many years of their career" I tell them not to worry, there's going to be many more years to come, and they're going to keep developing in new directions and surprising us!
Our best introduction video from now on should be: 1. guide by boracity=> about their music 2. introduction by rice squad=> about their achievements 3. guide by taylor mari=> about their personalities, life story REMEMBER GUYS
@@riddhimatiwari390she will be doing an updated one from where they left off …I saw her guest interview and she said she she planned todo that and had a pre information on them and their achievements during the interview. She has her channel still, so it’s fairly easy to make a comment or question. She’s quite busy w her editing job in Hawaii. 😊 and still ARMY 💜
@@Ween4ever I didn't know about the interview. I love her videos and understand life of a busy editor. She can take all her time to make changes and gives us a beautiful guide once again. am not here to
bts are an immensely popular group but criminally underrated artists. anytime I play a bts song without mentioning its bts ppl love it and ask what songs I'm playing. once I say "let me play a bts song for u" they're against it. once ppl get over the prejudice that is bts, they'll be introduced to some of the best music out there.
This is so true!! If you say "can I play some BTS?" they say "nahh they're not for me, I don't like kpop." If you just play a BTS song they say "woah, this is good! Who is this?"
Just like Yoongi said, “You’ll like BTS' music if you listen without prejudice”. Damn a new favorite BTS guide dropped! This is perfect for people who just don't know much about them or nothing it all, but categorize or assume things they have experienced or heard that are the usual: generic, boyband, "K-pop genre", "music for teenagers", etc. I would love to watch a guide like this when I was discovering them. I was about to comment that I disagreed on some things in the first half of the video, but I waited and then I 100% agreed lmao. BTS is just so fcking diverse as artists and as human beings that it's hard to categorize them in something. It's the fact that I've been an Army for almost 9 years and I never had an idea or assumed 100% how their new song or album was going to sound or how their concept was going to be unless they gave some spoilers or hints. BTS is just BTS, like.. the only words that come into my mind are talent, artistry, quality, charisma, honesty, humor, and kindness.. even when I say things like this I can't help but think there's a contradiction, they are not always like that and they can do the opposite too. They just keep evolving. So, I have to give a further explanation because yeah, they are humble and kind, but they can also talk their sht or flex. They are so funny and silly. but they are so professional and serious when it's needed too and all 7 personalities are very different and have a duality. I guess the best BTS definitions are the ones they have used through the years: - " 'Beyond the Scene' stands for "symbolizing youth who don't settle for their current reality and instead open the door and go forward to achieve growth." - " 'Bangtan’ means to be resistant to bullets, so it means to block out stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations that aim at adolescents like bullets, to preserve the values and ideals of today’s adolescents" Sorry for the long comment 💜
Your comment is not too long... you can talk about BTS endlessly, even if you count the number of albums they released, the number of songs they sang perfectly, they danced amazing choreographies, they gave amazing, wonderful concerts... but they were not alone in this, I really admire the service all this, the wonderful people who were with them and created the magic of the Bangtan world👋👋
Finally a guide on BTS musical style rather than BTS personalities ( I don't hate the personality guides but no hater / non kpop person will be interested in their personality) this guide is THEE best i have seen till now. Thank bora for your hardwork 🙏💜
Gotta start with the music before you yeet them into the rabbit hole. It's only right, after all it's their lives' work. They shouldn't be known just for cutie, handsome, clumsy, silly. What are they? The 7 dwarves?
@@Hopie_T Agreed! The music is the reason they're here on the world stage, and loved by millions, it's the work they've poured their whole lives into. Of course there's a lot to enjoy about their personalities and their other content, but the music is first and foremost. And while I do think the various guides out there serve an important purpose, even the best ones are oversimplified. It's really impossible to sum up 7 complex human beings in a few minutes! In my opinion it's best to start with the music, then get to know the members by actually watching their content for yourself, not just through compilations.
I loooved your video, it made me feel so proud of my boys. I stand the best artists, the best and most beautiful people. They are simply incredible!! ARMY to the end
I am a 45-year-old woman and I have never seen such a complete group of artists with such a diverse discography. In addition, they are excellent dancers and actors. They are kind and incredible human beings. And lastly, very handsome. I am definitely an Army. 💜
@@TreyFontenet-p1z You are right, depending on specific metrics you might be referring to. To me, the overall phenomenon I am referring to is the seemingly varied and holistic way the ARMY finds connection with BTS. Granted, technology has afforded BTS many more avenues to connect - even over the more recent group Backstreet Boys. But yes, I acknowledge what you might be trying to convey in your response to me. Perhaps it would have been better for me to state that BTS are a phenomenon that "I" am not likely to ever experience again...
This is officially my new favorite into guide. I love how it focuses on their music because that is what they are most proud of and want to be known for. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
How did you managed to put so much information in not even 19 minutes video, and it not feel rushed and all around the place, I'll never understand. You are amazing Bora and I'm extremely happy that I found your channel💜💜 I will recommend that video to everyone lol.
Zero disrespect to Taylor Mari, her guide will always be one of the best for someone who wants to do a full deep-dive into BTS. But I always thought having to read a 50 minute video was a bit too big of a commitment for a curious non-fan. A 20 minute spoken guide that focuses on only the most important facts to get someone interested in doing their own research is such a great start for new fans, and I really hope people start recommending this guide to people! I especially love the way you emphasised BTS' diversity, it's one of my favorite things about them but I always struggle to put it into words whenever I'm telling someone about them. I love this new guide, really well put together as always 💜💜💜
Our best introduction video from now on should be: 1. guide by boracity=> about their music 2. introduction by rice squad=> about their achievements 3. guide by taylor mari=> about their personalities, life story
Right I always forget about the rice squad one, I honestly don't think I've seen it more than one time years ago. But I like that, three different guides that focus on different things, now I swear if I see one more person go for the inaccurate meme-guides from 2018 I'm gonna lose it 😭
I feel bad they have to read, yet I understand that it’s bc she doesn’t like the sound of her voice. Hopefully, she could have someone voice over it and the next one.
@@sherryjyj5910 i agree with you but a MUST that needs to be before rice squad is bts hardships 2021 by xceleste as well as some other boracity videos or even affectaed or shookga videos. rice squad is ok but he adds wrong info and some questionable narratives to his video like the emphasis on yg inspiring bang pd or the weird way to describe american hustle life when it was a very important series that helped bts be able to collab with their favorite hip hop artists today due to learning how to properly respect hip hop culture regardless of how cringy it was its not something to say to new people who are skeptical of bts respecting hip hop due to kpops reputation. but even besides that people need to not focus on not viewing sad content and give new people and reactors the run down of hardships in detail for them to truly understand bts lyrics in songs like 2!3! or the eternal or the cyphers etc. hardships are a must because beyond assumptions of kpop being controlled and western boy bands being treated badly by their labels they do not know the extent of what bts could and have went through which makes them have a strong bond that wont break like the western boybands. they need to see the struggles to truly get it. imo its one of the most important videos they need to see and even then xceleste does a great job but doesnt explain in detail enough for some of the incidents or doesnt say things directly enough for a random person to understand the weight of the issues as well as didnt add so many issues that should be talked about. example she said slightly how important and serious the t shirt issue was in japan but didnt show the true extent and risk and how the white paper project helped or what japanese armys did to stand with bts when they still went to japan. for the military service she showed on screen very important info but most dont pause to read it. like how the reaction from the public was due to the labels using bts and why it was bad for them to be used how unfair it was to bts due to the hate they received then when bts was rewarded for something they didnt want the same labels had the nerve to call that unfair when they were the ones to make it happen and were unfair to bts first. many topics needed more clarification and background info and details for a non fan new to korean music to understand as well as many other instances like jk's fender bender and how people treated him when it happened even tho every new driver goes through it once. or the tattoo scandal and how its now more common for celebs to get tattoos when celebs prior who got them didnt cause a chain reaction allowing other idols to follow. or the tattoo artist what she did to jk which led to bts finding a great tattoo artist and all getting matching 7. or how people reacted towards bts performing in saudi arabia and later doing the same to jk. or how people treated jimin when he expressed self esteem issues and finding his confidence healing and talking to his younger self. or how each member got hate for no reason showing examples of why. and showing how the fandom is toxic excuse doesnt make sense cause many of the new people were probably on that hate train not even knowing why. going into detail on what the "sexist" songs said who was weaponizing just to hate and who genuinely felt uncomfortable in korea due to the way society treats women how their society is different from other societies giving valid criticism to bts to which they learned and grew from vs the people who hated on them and still do just because not because they care about women. including new things like yoongi's kickboard incident, etc every introduction video has room to grow and imo there needs to be layers and willingness from new people to watch the short to the point ones then watch longer ones that go into more detail rather than long ones that are skimming over everything the longer ones should be more detail not less and i think thats where some fall short. but anyways all that too say i think the hardships should be on your list lol
@@sherryjyj5910 Adding to this is the brand new Tips for Baby ARMY video that should be added to this list. It's really great, too...just dropped today as well.
How long have I wished for a guide like this to exist... There's a lot of people that want to know something about BTS but more about their music and not what personalities they have. And in those guides it's often too much information for the beginner which they won't even remember after watching. So I think this one is great and I will definitely recommend it now for everyone as the first introduction. Thank you.💜
Yes exactly. this is short but it's still so much information and it focuses on the most important part about a musical act... their music first and foremost.
So true. I hope ARMY can get good at judging what will appeal to different people... if someone generally likes to be in fandoms, likes getting to know musicians, or actually asks to learn about the members, send them a member intro video. If someone's a little more 'serious' about music, and perhaps skeptical about 'boybands' and 'kpop' send them a video like this. If someone loves pop music, start out with BTS' pop hits, maybe some solos from JK and Jimin, if someone's a hip hop fan send them rap line tracks, if someone likes alternative music maybe start with RM, if someone loves dance start with dance practices, and so on. And don't pressure them. It's about finding things that suit someone's taste, and slowly drawing them in. We need to judge our audience carefully, because people are often skeptical and will only give BTS a very brief chance. Sending the wrong stuff at the beginning can put them off. Once they find something they like and are starting to become a fan, they'll naturally get interested and branch out to other areas. I know so many people who started off only liking one aspect of BTS, but eventually loved everything about them... people who never listened to rap before who end up loving BTS' rap line... people who only ever listened to metal and rock before but ended up loving BTS' pop hits... so many people who thought they'd never like a 'boyband' but ended up being huge ARMYs... But you can't force that growth, you need to show them the parts that will appeal to them more easily at first. Strategy is important!
@@shockofthenew I completely agree with you! Finding the right way to introduce BTS to someone is so important, especially since their music and talents are so diverse. There’s something for everyone, but it’s all about figuring out what will connect with someone first. If you start with the wrong thing, it can be overwhelming or even put them off. I totally get why ARMYs are so passionate-we love BTS so much and want everyone to see how amazing they are, but sharing everything all at once isn’t always the best approach. It’s like when some fans want reactors to go through everything in chronological order. That might work for some people, but definitely not for everyone. Everyone connects to BTS in their own way and at their own pace, and that’s part of the magic. The same goes for wanting reactors to always compliment every member in every video. It’s just not realistic, and it doesn’t mean they’re not appreciating them! Genuine reactions are about letting people connect naturally. Forcing it doesn’t work, and it’s so much more powerful when people discover BTS in a way that feels right for them. At the end of the day, it’s all about planting the right seeds and letting BTS’ music and artistry speak for themselves. 💜
This video is so useful to show to people who say "I already tried BTS and I don't like them." 9 times of out of 10 I find those people have actually only listened to a few of their most mainstream pop hits, and if they're not a fan of mainstream pop it wasn't for them. It can be hard to convince them that's actually a small percentage of an extremely varied discography. Furthermore they're often skeptical that a 'boyband' could ever make good music, or a 'kpop' group could actually be artists making their own work. They assume the whole thing is completely manufactured, and the guys must only be popular because they're pretty boys who can dance. Hopefully a video like this which is short and to-the-point will at least give those people a taste of something different, and maybe make them curious enough to give BTS another chance. I'm someone who never liked any boybands and isn't a fan of mainstream pop (no, I don't like BTS' few mainstream pop songs either, just not my style) but I'm a HUGE fan of BTS. As soon as you get past the surface layer you find out they have 100s of vibrant, hard-hitting songs, genuinely thought-provoking lyrics, they're some of the best performers of this generation, and they have great personalities on top of all that! What's not to love?
I'm technically the same as you, funny how there's a lot of us who never liked boy bands, mainstream pop, not alone Kpop 😂😂 But here we are, still a HUGE fan of BTS. Ironic isn't? If I say I'm a fan of BTS, people will automatically assume I'm a fan of Kpop, boy bands, mainstream pop, especially generic pop acts like BTS. I can't even begin to tell them, that that's probably the least thing I like. 😅
@@1Uni7 This is a really important point too. Not everyone is going to become a hardcore ARMY and that's ok! I think some of us are so far into the fandom mindset we forget this. Some people will dive deep into the full discography, read every lyric, analyse every theme, watch all the other content, learn about their backstory, get to know the members etc. Some people have no interest in all that, but will be a casual fan or just enjoy a few songs. You can't force the second type to become the first type, that's something that can only happen naturally. If you try to force someone to become a fan against their will, they'll just stop listening and have a negative impression of the group/fans. As long as someone isn't doing anything destructive (like spreading misinformation or saying members should go solo) then let them be a casual listener. Suggest things, sure, but don't pressure them. Perhaps they'll naturally get curious to go down the rabbit hole someday, but staying as a casual listener is fine! More people enjoying Bangtan's music is a net positive!
Loyal fan of them since 2014. They truly are special, not only as a group and soloists, but also as people. They are warm, kind, patient, humble, generous and hilarious, every single one of them. Once you dive into their personalities, you will never come back up. Always positive vibes. I think most BTS fans view them as best friends or even family.
Standing ovation because this is AMAZING girl I have no clue how you did that in a small video I'm actually blown away this is the best intro to bts I've seen in short formed video
As always amazing! I was a bit nervous but then you said ‘You have to forget everything I’ve just said’ and this 18 minutes intro just became the best intro
9 minutes in and it feels like an hour with the amount of information you where able to condense in this video! This is amazing, very complete and easy to understand, i knew you're good at this, but i'm honestly impressed now
The word "impressive" will never be enough for them. They're mesmerizing, otherworldly, on a completely different level, no one could ever, I swear to God. I love this type of videos bc I've been into BTS for a long time now but getting these reminders of what they represent and how different and versatile they are will never stop amazing me. How each of them has incredible talents and how the complement each other, makes me cry every time, I love them wholeheartedly
*Like Beatles, Queen and solo artists, the BTS band even if they come from a certain country and a different music industry than the West, between their music/lyrics/choreography they are an ENTITY that cannot be put in a musical category or have a belonging to a country because they have now overcome all linguistic and emotional barriers to millions of people, but there is always a but this thing brings with it hatred and envy but it seems that up to now no one has ever managed to bring them down and the BTS FANDOM has been there and will always be their backup.💜*
Well said. Their diversity of musical styles made me think of Queen also when I first discovered them. It is one of my favorite things about Queen and it is one of my favorite things about BTS. It shows how talented they are and their music is ever boring.
I just finished watching the Beatles ´64 documentary and the similarities between The Beatles and BTS stood out so much for someone like me who loves both bands. The way they conduct themselves on and off screen, the treatment and attention they got/get, the way they had to work with what they had, their rise to fame, how they handle and want to be involved in the content they produce, the lyrics, the sound, the evolution of style, their bond, everything... I was watching the documentary and literally going "oh yeah, BTS would totally do this, or say this"
Omg this is one of the best introduction videos of BTS I've ever seen. Even as an ARMY myself, I'm still amazed by the fact that 7 people that talented are on the same group.
The way Bora gave SO MUCH information (IMPORTANT INFO) in such a short video in comparison to the usual guide videos is INSANE. And finally a guide that focuses on their music and talents and not just their personalities! Amazing💜💜
Perfect approach to showcase their musical personalities in a very crisp and pointed way. And the whiplash at 16:00 minutes 😅, I think i fell for my bangtan once more 💜
This is the best presentation i have seen of a BTS introduction since i found them a year ago. Thanks a lot. Now i know why i loved them at first watch/encounter! 😊
of all the longwinded guides i've watched when i was smol, this is the best introduction for anyone who is biased or doesn't know them at all. the length of the others is what can deter people and it's too much info. this is perfect
this is the perfect guide!! Thank you for playing so many clips of their music, performances and creative process! If there is nothing else that can get people into loving them, it is always their music that can do the job. Even listening to the small selection you played yet again reminded me how incredible their discography is. I could not be prouder to be a fan💜
I'm not surprised, I love your channel, but this is THE video every sceptical needs to watch. It's so well explained in a short time. And the way it also showcases really well their talent/skills with just these short clips. No, really it's perfect, even in the rythm of the video and quantity of informations for someone who is not a fan. Thank you for your hard work once again, Boracity ! 💜
At last a more up to date comprehensive guide to BTS which includes their solo work and maturity. I've been waiting for YOUR intro to BTS and I'm very satisfied. It was factual and concise. Thank you Boracity.
This was incredible! You managed to describe them and their music (solo & as a group) perfectly! This video really made me realize how truly dynamic they are in everything down to their singing & rapping styles, no other group is as versatile as them. I think that’s what has me so hooked on them. They’re so distinctive and they always stand out of a crowd without even trying. Can’t wait for 2025 💜
Для меня это было самым удивительным, то насколько разнообразная музыка у этих парней. К сожалению, Я открыла для себя BTS всего лишь год с небольшим назад. И когда стала знакомиться с их дискографией и в группе и сольной, то была поражена жанровым разнообразием.. Ещё была удивлена, что в группе из семи человек - семь звёзд. Такое встречается нечасто. И каждый доказал что он звезда в своей сольной работе. BTS - это прекрасное созвездие. Творчество BTS - это сундук сокровищ.
this is excellent, especially if they are interested they will definitely go to see the longer introductions later. many people complain when they have to read the subtitles themselves and too much information comes immediately from the members in detail. So this is a really good and light start, which also knocks out all preconceptions💜
Absolutely incredible video! As a six-year army, I emphatically agree with all your characterization (and un-characterizations) of the members, and I LOVE how you focus on their artistry. Thank you for this!
WOW! What a perfect introduction video. It is the ideal companion to some of the other longer videos. Short enough to allow new fans/ reactors to consider watching, thorough enough to really encapsulate the magic and musicality of BTS and up to date so that new watchers get a truer picture of where BTS are at this time as well as pointing to where they may be heading in the future. Thank you for another wonderful video! 💜 I attended your livestream. I am so grateful that you decided to post this video. Please try not to doubt yourself. You have so many people who really appreciate your research and presentations of your ideas. 💜
In a time where solo stans are ruining the hard work of BTS, THIS VIDEO WILL BRIBG EVERYONE BACK TO WHY THEY ARE LOVED AS A GROUP. ARMY RE UNITE AND BRING BACK THE DAYS WE WERE A SOLID FABDOM.
0:35 omg i used to see soooo many intro to bts videos as a baby army. But yeah they mostly focus on personality. I think i got to know more about their music once i joined twitter cause twt armys are elite
Thank you for making this video Boracity! To skeptics and non-pop fans out there, if I may add, j-hope is MORE THAN JUST THE STREET DANCER (though he is indeed a dance prodigy.) He is one of the 3 Musical Pillars of BTS ( Time Magazine article mentioned by the founder Bang PD), he is a COMPOSER and a PRODUCER as well just like Namjoon and SUGA. 145 KOMCA credits / songs under BTS and his three albums ( Hope World, critically acclaimed Jack In The Box and HOPE ON THE STREET) He is the Dance Leader of BTS that the members look up to and the KING OF STAGE PRESENCE! 🤩His delivery of songs and raps is very emotive, with very a unique flow and GREAT STABILITY even when dancing! He was the first trainee Big Hit signed and 3rd to join BTS. He learned composing and rapping as a trainee, which was pretty amazing because now he is one of the greatest rappers and lyricists hailed from South Korea and a very versatile artist - that's why he is called the Golden Hyung by our fandom!
Hi Boracity, minute 4:25 - there is a Korean artist who has already won a Grammy i.e. Sumi Jo: An internationally acclaimed soprano. In fact, she was a 2-times nominee.
To genialny przekaz pokazujący geniusz ludzi tworzących grupę BTS od strony muzycznej Można się nim znakomicie posiłkować tłumacząc, dlaczego BTS jest tak wyjątkowe.
this guide is much better than those long guides with millions of views...they don't even describe the members well, especially Jin! thank you for mentioning Jin's interest in rock and the Silver Voice title! I think anyone can watch this guide not just haters, as it's very informative even for fans.
They are sooo good as a group and also individually perfect. Like they have the talent to go solo yet their love for the group keeps them together. I just love how they are actually friends, a group yet not compromising their individuality for it.
Sometimes you need a long guide and a deep dive, but this is so comprehensive of their musical style and WHY they’re so diverse in their genres and styles! Like just… wow!
It's actually crazy how insanely talented bts is , I really love how you managed to talk about their music styles in this short video , not only introductions of names and personality. This is a short but perfect guide to bts, and the real joy is dto find more about them, their music, their lyrics and production, their shows and all the stuff by yourself.and I promise you once you discover these multi-talented seven artists who are also the biggest boyband int he world, you will not regret finiding them. 💜
started dating someone who for once was a bit curious and was willing to hear me explain why i like them. some people are a lost cause and have too much prejudice, but this video came right on time for me and as usual you make the best, most eloquent, coherent and engaging videos. thank you!! you bring so much to this community and i’m forever grateful. i purple you💜
I ended up tearing up at the end of the video because even though I know it, it still blows my mind how much passion BTS has for music, that is one in a million. To hear snippets of so many songs and say "oh yeah, they're all bangers" is no easy feat.
i love that even though you didn't extensively discuss their personalities, you still did it very much so just by talking about their music styles and things they're good at. i hadn't even realized you didn't talk about the personalities until I saw the comments, actually lol you did each of them justice in your descriptions, and portrayed them in a very "equal" light, which is not usually the case (even if unintentionally) in other guides. I'm very grateful to you for that (especially as a jin biased lol). best guide I've seen around here 💜
Thank you finally a music/ artistry focused guide!!!!! I think they are popular celebrities and i also gravitated towards also thanks to their personalities but getting introduced to music artists through... their music has somehow often been very secondary in guides.. and so very underrated artits!! Not music records, but the actual artistry, the genres, and tastes being the central part of the video! Loved loved loved that you nuanced at the end that also theyvare not just defined by that because you really can't box any of them at the end of the day! Concise but as comprehensive as possible (which is sooo hard to make choices because so much more coild be included) so good job!
This video was so good, I watched it twice, back-to-back. I love how it talks about their musical styles in a short, but comprehensive video that we can share with non-BTS listeners. Thank you for taking the time to pull together another informative, well-produced video.
the ending of the video gave me goosebumps because damn i'm so tired of explaining to people that they are so versatile in genres of music. They are literally the epitome of the expression "so different and yet so similar". This is a rare case when completely different people are close in many things. That's why I love each of them, each of them is a part of my character.
I watched it for the second time and even if you say it's for the haters/skepticals, I as an army I adore your guide. Thank you again for the very hard work and also thanks to bora sister for being your exquisite supporter. 💜💜
Played this for my dad during dinner and he asked many follow up questions so it's safe to assume he's peeking through the door 🥹 THANK YOU BORACITY 😭💜
The first 30 sec was literally me. I used to be a skeptic 🙈. I first heard of bts in 2018 and i saw some of their mvs, thought it was ok but didnt get the hype. I was just a casual fan. But i became curious because of their success. Even things like bbmas or jimmy fallon got my attention and i realised that an Asian artist was doing such remarkable things and that made me think theres more to them than typical kpoppy stuff. But i didnt become proper army until around september 2020, where for some reason i started watching a bunch of compilations and edits and funny videos (typical youtube baby army era) and i got hooked! I just had to know everything about them and ive basically been studying bts and army ever since. But i also need to point out the role of army in getting my interest, in making bts accessible by providing translations and by being so funny and smart. If it werent for them, i wouldn't be here. I love you all💜💜💜
This video could really benefit from having more details about hobi’s lyricism and music. I feel like a lot of people overlook his metaphors and references to literature in his lyrics and unfortunately this video does the same. I feel like this is why so many people come into the fandom not knowing much about him besides he can dance, he’s hopeful, etc. and even he is trying to push away from that narrative
This is false bc not everyone comes into the fd thinking that and I definitely didn’t. This video is an short overview of all members and unfortunately not everything can be included bc there are still stuff missing from each member but she did a great job. If these people are not doing a good enough job for you then I suggest making your own or watch the ones that include what you’re looking for.
@KS-sh1np I agree with your opinion, as far as mentioning Hobi’s lyricism - while she does that for RM and Suga - she fails to mention the same for Hobi! J hope writes his own lyrics too and has a lot of writing credits (139 songs). Also, she should have included 1 line about HOTS -this is really important work - and is so important to Hobi!
@@Happydaysxox Well good thing I said “so many people come into the fandom” and not “everyone” :) and if this account is going to involve other members’ lyricism and artistry then they can include j-hope’s as well
the same could be said for everyone. You didn't understand the content you were looking at. the idea of this whole thing was to take some main point/term from each of them that people notice first and assume that he only brings that particular skill to the group, but then that assumption is overturned, because the Tannies are simply many talents and that one word is not enough to describe them. those who understood the video also realized that by watching Hobi only as a dancer, they don't know how amazing a lyricist, producer, rapper and singer he is too
ARMY often places too much emphasis on Namjoon’s image as a leader. He’s undoubtedly the best leader, but he’s not just that-he’s a genius artist and rapper who has earned top recognition from all corners of the music industry. There’s no other K-pop artist like him. We should give more respect to his artistry; otherwise, it wouldn’t do justice to his efforts and passion.
I agree with your opinion. His artistry is too often underestimated. He also has the background of being a well known underground rapper, Runch Randa, while still in high school. Limiting his identity to just ‘the best leader’ wouldn’t be fair. Fans shouldn’t suppress his talent.
"If you think they are not for you, you just have to keep looking. You won't regret it." Those words were literally so trueeee ...i loved this video and how you expressed them ..just amazing and perfect ❤
I cried a little while watching this. What a small yet detailed video. Thank you Boracity.. 💜 I miss them so so much nowadays that I just can't hold my tears most times I see these kind of videos...
THE FACT THAT YOU FOCUSED ON MUSIC STYLES ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE MAKES THIS THE PERFECT INTRODUCTION!!!!!
yesssssss!
This is a must see in addition to the Taylor guide 👍🏻
💯
❤ you said it right music types rhythms etc BTS nice💜💜
" once u associated them with their keywords, forget all what I have said - cz BTS love to break out of their labeled boxes" ... Girl that was genius 😮👏💯
Agree to that!
yep yep
Yes! During the keyword section I was thinking "ah, this is pretty good for a super quick intro to the members, but it seems over-simplified..." then she flipped it around and I was satisfied. It really is impossible to explain the BTS members as any kind of simple 'type' they all have so much range. The only way to understand "who is BTS" is to actually listen to their albums, read their lyrics, watch their performances, interviews, behind-the-scenes videos etc. By the time you've done that, you'll probably be a fan.
My favourite part as well 💜
LOVED that part; yesssss!
It's honestly overwhelming how talented BTS is.
No seriously I think about this fact randomly every other day lol. And when they comeback I’m so scared (in a good way) to see how they’re gonna absolutely demolish the music industry once more.. & they’re not even at their peak yet- not even close broo
The VARIETY of sounds in this video and the QUALITIES of each performances is just WOW. So much TALENT
I think it's very important to realize that their main quality is being hard working. They don't give up. Talent without hard work and dedication is nothing.
@@prunelle9068 This can't be said enough! Yes they all have unique and special talents but innate talent isn't enough, they're also highly skilled and developed artists, and that's because they work incredibly hard and never get complacent. That comes from being self-motivated, not pushed by a company, and being in this career because they truly love making music and performing, not just to be rich and famous.
Even now they've reached success they're still so humble, they always talk about how they can improve, how they can expand their range, and deepen their connection with music. That's why even though new fans sometimes say "oh, I'm sad I missed so many years of their career" I tell them not to worry, there's going to be many more years to come, and they're going to keep developing in new directions and surprising us!
Yes 🔥
BORACITY dropped one of the best BTS Short guides people
Our best introduction video from now on should be:
1. guide by boracity=> about their music
2. introduction by rice squad=> about their achievements
3. guide by taylor mari=> about their personalities, life story
REMEMBER GUYS
@sherryjyj5910 Taylor mari one is so iconic but now it needs to be updated. Can someone reach to her ??
@@riddhimatiwari390she will be doing an updated one from where they left off …I saw her guest interview and she said she she planned todo that and had a pre information on them and their achievements during the interview. She has her channel still, so it’s fairly easy to make a comment or question. She’s quite busy w her editing job in Hawaii. 😊 and still ARMY 💜
@@Ween4ever I didn't know about the interview. I love her videos and understand life of a busy editor. She can take all her time to make changes and gives us a beautiful guide once again. am not here to

bts are an immensely popular group but criminally underrated artists. anytime I play a bts song without mentioning its bts ppl love it and ask what songs I'm playing. once I say "let me play a bts song for u" they're against it. once ppl get over the prejudice that is bts, they'll be introduced to some of the best music out there.
true
💯
This is so true!!
If you say "can I play some BTS?" they say "nahh they're not for me, I don't like kpop."
If you just play a BTS song they say "woah, this is good! Who is this?"
@@shockofthenew so what's in a name...
Absolutely
I need those new BTS reactors I always see, to watch this first before anything else starting today.
Yep
Yesss
Specially all thoose that call themself kpop haters
YES agreed, this video clarified every single annoying comment those reactors always make when they’re starting out with bts.
Yesss
Just like Yoongi said, “You’ll like BTS' music if you listen without prejudice”.
Damn a new favorite BTS guide dropped! This is perfect for people who just don't know much about them or nothing it all, but categorize or assume things they have experienced or heard that are the usual: generic, boyband, "K-pop genre", "music for teenagers", etc. I would love to watch a guide like this when I was discovering them.
I was about to comment that I disagreed on some things in the first half of the video, but I waited and then I 100% agreed lmao. BTS is just so fcking diverse as artists and as human beings that it's hard to categorize them in something. It's the fact that I've been an Army for almost 9 years and I never had an idea or assumed 100% how their new song or album was going to sound or how their concept was going to be unless they gave some spoilers or hints.
BTS is just BTS, like.. the only words that come into my mind are talent, artistry, quality, charisma, honesty, humor, and kindness.. even when I say things like this I can't help but think there's a contradiction, they are not always like that and they can do the opposite too. They just keep evolving. So, I have to give a further explanation because yeah, they are humble and kind, but they can also talk their sht or flex. They are so funny and silly. but they are so professional and serious when it's needed too and all 7 personalities are very different and have a duality.
I guess the best BTS definitions are the ones they have used through the years:
- " 'Beyond the Scene' stands for "symbolizing youth who don't settle for their current reality and instead open the door and go forward to achieve growth."
- " 'Bangtan’ means to be resistant to bullets, so it means to block out stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations that aim at adolescents like bullets, to preserve the values and ideals of today’s adolescents"
Sorry for the long comment 💜
Your comment is not too long... you can talk about BTS endlessly, even if you count the number of albums they released, the number of songs they sang perfectly, they danced amazing choreographies, they gave amazing, wonderful concerts... but they were not alone in this, I really admire the service all this, the wonderful people who were with them and created the magic of the Bangtan world👋👋
Loved your comment 💜
@Hobii_luvsubs Thank you 💜
Finally a guide on BTS musical style rather than BTS personalities ( I don't hate the personality guides but no hater / non kpop person will be interested in their personality) this guide is THEE best i have seen till now. Thank bora for your hardwork 🙏💜
Agree!
Gotta start with the music before you yeet them into the rabbit hole. It's only right, after all it's their lives' work. They shouldn't be known just for cutie, handsome, clumsy, silly. What are they? The 7 dwarves?
@@Hopie_T lol IKR
@@Hopie_T Agreed! The music is the reason they're here on the world stage, and loved by millions, it's the work they've poured their whole lives into. Of course there's a lot to enjoy about their personalities and their other content, but the music is first and foremost. And while I do think the various guides out there serve an important purpose, even the best ones are oversimplified. It's really impossible to sum up 7 complex human beings in a few minutes! In my opinion it's best to start with the music, then get to know the members by actually watching their content for yourself, not just through compilations.
I loooved your video, it made me feel so proud of my boys. I stand the best artists, the best and most beautiful people. They are simply incredible!! ARMY to the end
I am a 45-year-old woman and I have never seen such a complete group of artists with such a diverse discography. In addition, they are excellent dancers and actors. They are kind and incredible human beings. And lastly, very handsome. I am definitely an Army. 💜
am i a hater? no. am i a skeptical? no. am i a non-pop fan? no. am i gonna watch this anyway? absolutely
i love your videos so much😭❤
thank you for watching💜
Same here 😂

Another perfect video, conveying expertly why BTS are a phenomenon we are not likely to ever experience again.... thank you, boracity magazine.
They aren't bigger than the Beatles or backstreet boys
@@TreyFontenet-p1z You are right, depending on specific metrics you might be referring to. To me, the overall phenomenon I am referring to is the seemingly varied and holistic way the ARMY finds connection with BTS. Granted, technology has afforded BTS many more avenues to connect - even over the more recent group Backstreet Boys. But yes, I acknowledge what you might be trying to convey in your response to me. Perhaps it would have been better for me to state that BTS are a phenomenon that "I" am not likely to ever experience again...
This is officially my new favorite into guide. I love how it focuses on their music because that is what they are most proud of and want to be known for. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The diversity and talent in BTS is INSANE! Hard to find any other artist who could match.
How did you managed to put so much information in not even 19 minutes video, and it not feel rushed and all around the place, I'll never understand. You are amazing Bora and I'm extremely happy that I found your channel💜💜 I will recommend that video to everyone lol.
Just amazing!
She's REALLY great at getting a lot of important information into a short time, seriously! - She's the queen! LOL
Same Same Same! 🥰🥰 Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Zero disrespect to Taylor Mari, her guide will always be one of the best for someone who wants to do a full deep-dive into BTS. But I always thought having to read a 50 minute video was a bit too big of a commitment for a curious non-fan. A 20 minute spoken guide that focuses on only the most important facts to get someone interested in doing their own research is such a great start for new fans, and I really hope people start recommending this guide to people!
I especially love the way you emphasised BTS' diversity, it's one of my favorite things about them but I always struggle to put it into words whenever I'm telling someone about them. I love this new guide, really well put together as always 💜💜💜
Our best introduction video from now on should be:
1. guide by boracity=> about their music
2. introduction by rice squad=> about their achievements
3. guide by taylor mari=> about their personalities, life story
Right I always forget about the rice squad one, I honestly don't think I've seen it more than one time years ago.
But I like that, three different guides that focus on different things, now I swear if I see one more person go for the inaccurate meme-guides from 2018 I'm gonna lose it 😭
I feel bad they have to read, yet I understand that it’s bc she doesn’t like the sound of her voice. Hopefully, she could have someone voice over it and the next one.
@@sherryjyj5910 i agree with you but a MUST that needs to be before rice squad is bts hardships 2021 by xceleste as well as some other boracity videos or even affectaed or shookga videos.
rice squad is ok but he adds wrong info and some questionable narratives to his video like the emphasis on yg inspiring bang pd or the weird way to describe american hustle life when it was a very important series that helped bts be able to collab with their favorite hip hop artists today due to learning how to properly respect hip hop culture regardless of how cringy it was its not something to say to new people who are skeptical of bts respecting hip hop due to kpops reputation.
but even besides that people need to not focus on not viewing sad content and give new people and reactors the run down of hardships in detail for them to truly understand bts lyrics in songs like 2!3! or the eternal or the cyphers etc. hardships are a must because beyond assumptions of kpop being controlled and western boy bands being treated badly by their labels they do not know the extent of what bts could and have went through which makes them have a strong bond that wont break like the western boybands. they need to see the struggles to truly get it. imo its one of the most important videos they need to see and even then xceleste does a great job but doesnt explain in detail enough for some of the incidents or doesnt say things directly enough for a random person to understand the weight of the issues as well as didnt add so many issues that should be talked about.
example she said slightly how important and serious the t shirt issue was in japan but didnt show the true extent and risk and how the white paper project helped or what japanese armys did to stand with bts when they still went to japan.
for the military service she showed on screen very important info but most dont pause to read it. like how the reaction from the public was due to the labels using bts and why it was bad for them to be used how unfair it was to bts due to the hate they received then when bts was rewarded for something they didnt want the same labels had the nerve to call that unfair when they were the ones to make it happen and were unfair to bts first.
many topics needed more clarification and background info and details for a non fan new to korean music to understand as well as many other instances like jk's fender bender and how people treated him when it happened even tho every new driver goes through it once. or the tattoo scandal and how its now more common for celebs to get tattoos when celebs prior who got them didnt cause a chain reaction allowing other idols to follow.
or the tattoo artist what she did to jk which led to bts finding a great tattoo artist and all getting matching 7.
or how people reacted towards bts performing in saudi arabia and later doing the same to jk. or how people treated jimin when he expressed self esteem issues and finding his confidence healing and talking to his younger self. or how each member got hate for no reason showing examples of why. and showing how the fandom is toxic excuse doesnt make sense cause many of the new people were probably on that hate train not even knowing why.
going into detail on what the "sexist" songs said who was weaponizing just to hate and who genuinely felt uncomfortable in korea due to the way society treats women how their society is different from other societies giving valid criticism to bts to which they learned and grew from vs the people who hated on them and still do just because not because they care about women.
including new things like yoongi's kickboard incident, etc
every introduction video has room to grow and imo there needs to be layers and willingness from new people to watch the short to the point ones then watch longer ones that go into more detail rather than long ones that are skimming over everything the longer ones should be more detail not less and i think thats where some fall short. but anyways all that too say i think the hardships should be on your list lol
@@sherryjyj5910 Adding to this is the brand new Tips for Baby ARMY video that should be added to this list. It's really great, too...just dropped today as well.
ARMY I‘m crying. This made me fall for them all over again. Love y‘all so much

@@AJP.OT7True. Plus i forwarded it to some muggles friends too 🤭
@@Polarnyght you found me 🫂💜
me, a fan of bts for half a decade: damn these guys sound so impressive
How long have I wished for a guide like this to exist... There's a lot of people that want to know something about BTS but more about their music and not what personalities they have. And in those guides it's often too much information for the beginner which they won't even remember after watching. So I think this one is great and I will definitely recommend it now for everyone as the first introduction. Thank you.💜
Yes exactly. this is short but it's still so much information and it focuses on the most important part about a musical act... their music first and foremost.
exactly. this conveyed so much about their artistry. it's amazing and impactful
So true. I hope ARMY can get good at judging what will appeal to different people... if someone generally likes to be in fandoms, likes getting to know musicians, or actually asks to learn about the members, send them a member intro video. If someone's a little more 'serious' about music, and perhaps skeptical about 'boybands' and 'kpop' send them a video like this. If someone loves pop music, start out with BTS' pop hits, maybe some solos from JK and Jimin, if someone's a hip hop fan send them rap line tracks, if someone likes alternative music maybe start with RM, if someone loves dance start with dance practices, and so on. And don't pressure them. It's about finding things that suit someone's taste, and slowly drawing them in.
We need to judge our audience carefully, because people are often skeptical and will only give BTS a very brief chance. Sending the wrong stuff at the beginning can put them off. Once they find something they like and are starting to become a fan, they'll naturally get interested and branch out to other areas.
I know so many people who started off only liking one aspect of BTS, but eventually loved everything about them... people who never listened to rap before who end up loving BTS' rap line... people who only ever listened to metal and rock before but ended up loving BTS' pop hits... so many people who thought they'd never like a 'boyband' but ended up being huge ARMYs... But you can't force that growth, you need to show them the parts that will appeal to them more easily at first. Strategy is important!
@@shockofthenew I completely agree with you! Finding the right way to introduce BTS to someone is so important, especially since their music and talents are so diverse. There’s something for everyone, but it’s all about figuring out what will connect with someone first. If you start with the wrong thing, it can be overwhelming or even put them off.
I totally get why ARMYs are so passionate-we love BTS so much and want everyone to see how amazing they are, but sharing everything all at once isn’t always the best approach. It’s like when some fans want reactors to go through everything in chronological order. That might work for some people, but definitely not for everyone. Everyone connects to BTS in their own way and at their own pace, and that’s part of the magic.
The same goes for wanting reactors to always compliment every member in every video. It’s just not realistic, and it doesn’t mean they’re not appreciating them! Genuine reactions are about letting people connect naturally. Forcing it doesn’t work, and it’s so much more powerful when people discover BTS in a way that feels right for them.
At the end of the day, it’s all about planting the right seeds and letting BTS’ music and artistry speak for themselves. 💜
ME TOO
This video is so useful to show to people who say "I already tried BTS and I don't like them." 9 times of out of 10 I find those people have actually only listened to a few of their most mainstream pop hits, and if they're not a fan of mainstream pop it wasn't for them. It can be hard to convince them that's actually a small percentage of an extremely varied discography. Furthermore they're often skeptical that a 'boyband' could ever make good music, or a 'kpop' group could actually be artists making their own work. They assume the whole thing is completely manufactured, and the guys must only be popular because they're pretty boys who can dance.
Hopefully a video like this which is short and to-the-point will at least give those people a taste of something different, and maybe make them curious enough to give BTS another chance.
I'm someone who never liked any boybands and isn't a fan of mainstream pop (no, I don't like BTS' few mainstream pop songs either, just not my style) but I'm a HUGE fan of BTS. As soon as you get past the surface layer you find out they have 100s of vibrant, hard-hitting songs, genuinely thought-provoking lyrics, they're some of the best performers of this generation, and they have great personalities on top of all that! What's not to love?
I'm technically the same as you, funny how there's a lot of us who never liked boy bands, mainstream pop, not alone Kpop 😂😂
But here we are, still a HUGE fan of BTS. Ironic isn't?
If I say I'm a fan of BTS, people will automatically assume I'm a fan of Kpop, boy bands, mainstream pop, especially generic pop acts like BTS.
I can't even begin to tell them, that that's probably the least thing I like. 😅
And also you don’t need to be a fan to enjoy someone’s music, not a fan but I have some of their songs in my playlist
@@1Uni7 This is a really important point too. Not everyone is going to become a hardcore ARMY and that's ok! I think some of us are so far into the fandom mindset we forget this.
Some people will dive deep into the full discography, read every lyric, analyse every theme, watch all the other content, learn about their backstory, get to know the members etc. Some people have no interest in all that, but will be a casual fan or just enjoy a few songs. You can't force the second type to become the first type, that's something that can only happen naturally. If you try to force someone to become a fan against their will, they'll just stop listening and have a negative impression of the group/fans.
As long as someone isn't doing anything destructive (like spreading misinformation or saying members should go solo) then let them be a casual listener. Suggest things, sure, but don't pressure them. Perhaps they'll naturally get curious to go down the rabbit hole someday, but staying as a casual listener is fine! More people enjoying Bangtan's music is a net positive!
I love that you highlighted the duality they all possess. Their ability to always challenge themselves creatively and suprise us is everything !
Loyal fan of them since 2014. They truly are special, not only as a group and soloists, but also as people. They are warm, kind, patient, humble, generous and hilarious, every single one of them. Once you dive into their personalities, you will never come back up. Always positive vibes. I think most BTS fans view them as best friends or even family.
Standing ovation because this is AMAZING girl I have no clue how you did that in a small video I'm actually blown away this is the best intro to bts I've seen in short formed video
As always amazing! I was a bit nervous but then you said ‘You have to forget everything I’ve just said’ and this 18 minutes intro just became the best intro
9 minutes in and it feels like an hour with the amount of information you where able to condense in this video! This is amazing, very complete and easy to understand, i knew you're good at this, but i'm honestly impressed now
The word "impressive" will never be enough for them. They're mesmerizing, otherworldly, on a completely different level, no one could ever, I swear to God.
I love this type of videos bc I've been into BTS for a long time now but getting these reminders of what they represent and how different and versatile they are will never stop amazing me. How each of them has incredible talents and how the complement each other, makes me cry every time, I love them wholeheartedly
*Like Beatles, Queen and solo artists, the BTS band even if they come from a certain country and a different music industry than the West, between their music/lyrics/choreography they are an ENTITY that cannot be put in a musical category or have a belonging to a country because they have now overcome all linguistic and emotional barriers to millions of people, but there is always a but this thing brings with it hatred and envy but it seems that up to now no one has ever managed to bring them down and the BTS FANDOM has been there and will always be their backup.💜*
Well said. Their diversity of musical styles made me think of Queen also when I first discovered them. It is one of my favorite things about Queen and it is one of my favorite things about BTS. It shows how talented they are and their music is ever boring.
I just finished watching the Beatles ´64 documentary and the similarities between The Beatles and BTS stood out so much for someone like me who loves both bands. The way they conduct themselves on and off screen, the treatment and attention they got/get, the way they had to work with what they had, their rise to fame, how they handle and want to be involved in the content they produce, the lyrics, the sound, the evolution of style, their bond, everything... I was watching the documentary and literally going "oh yeah, BTS would totally do this, or say this"
Omg this is one of the best introduction videos of BTS I've ever seen. Even as an ARMY myself, I'm still amazed by the fact that 7 people that talented are on the same group.
This is a perfect description.. Now I'm gonna show this to my friends
The way Bora gave SO MUCH information (IMPORTANT INFO) in such a short video in comparison to the usual guide videos is INSANE. And finally a guide that focuses on their music and talents and not just their personalities! Amazing💜💜
Perfect approach to showcase their musical personalities in a very crisp and pointed way.
And the whiplash at 16:00 minutes 😅, I think i fell for my bangtan once more 💜
Same at “now forget everything I just said” 😆
I have never enjoyed a band as much as I enjoy BTS they truly are amazing like they broke every mold
I can't explain how much I love your videos
This is the best presentation i have seen of a BTS introduction since i found them a year ago. Thanks a lot. Now i know why i loved them at first watch/encounter! 😊
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so right! We've needed a short, yet comprehensive guide! to show to the non-fans. Very well done! 💜
I LOVE 💜I LOVE 💜I LOVE 💜I LOVE 💜I LOVE 💜I LOVE 💜I LOVE 💜I LOVE 💜every single video you make, you are trult a reflection of BTS's talent truly.
Thanks, I needed to cry once again over our boys
of all the longwinded guides i've watched when i was smol, this is the best introduction for anyone who is biased or doesn't know them at all.
the length of the others is what can deter people and it's too much info.
this is perfect
This is now my favorite guide to BTS✨💜very well explained.Thank you Boracity 💜💜💜💜💜
this is the perfect guide!! Thank you for playing so many clips of their music, performances and creative process! If there is nothing else that can get people into loving them, it is always their music that can do the job. Even listening to the small selection you played yet again reminded me how incredible their discography is. I could not be prouder to be a fan💜
I'm not surprised, I love your channel, but this is THE video every sceptical needs to watch. It's so well explained in a short time. And the way it also showcases really well their talent/skills with just these short clips.
No, really it's perfect, even in the rythm of the video and quantity of informations for someone who is not a fan. Thank you for your hard work once again, Boracity ! 💜
At last a more up to date comprehensive guide to BTS which includes their solo work and maturity. I've been waiting for YOUR intro to BTS and I'm very satisfied. It was factual and concise. Thank you Boracity.
So happy when I see a new BoraCity video essay!
This was incredible! You managed to describe them and their music (solo & as a group) perfectly! This video really made me realize how truly dynamic they are in everything down to their singing & rapping styles, no other group is as versatile as them. I think that’s what has me so hooked on them. They’re so distinctive and they always stand out of a crowd without even trying. Can’t wait for 2025 💜
The best beginner´s ultimate guide for muggles! 💜💜
Для меня это было самым удивительным, то насколько разнообразная музыка у этих парней. К сожалению, Я открыла для себя BTS всего лишь год с небольшим назад. И когда стала знакомиться с их дискографией и в группе и сольной, то была поражена жанровым разнообразием.. Ещё была удивлена, что в группе из семи человек - семь звёзд. Такое встречается нечасто. И каждый доказал что он звезда в своей сольной работе. BTS - это прекрасное созвездие. Творчество BTS - это сундук сокровищ.
Awww YEAH!! A new Bangtan guide to recommend to non-ARMYs! :D Thank you Boracity for feeding the community once again! 💜
Found it, Watched it, Loved it - Perfect Intro to Rabbit Hole of BTS and their Music💜
This is so perfect for sharing with people curious about my obsession. Perfect choices for all of the clips. Perfect. Thank you so much!
this is excellent, especially if they are interested they will definitely go to see the longer introductions later. many people complain when they have to read the subtitles themselves and too much information comes immediately from the members in detail. So this is a really good and light start, which also knocks out all preconceptions💜
I was in your live streaming this week! I’m so glad you posted this! As I said before you’re a gift to this fandom!
Please start recommending this as a guide alongside Taylor’s own. This is so well made😭💜
I will doo 😭😭
Finally!! The wait is over. Returned with a banger 💜✨
Absolutely incredible video! As a six-year army, I emphatically agree with all your characterization (and un-characterizations) of the members, and I LOVE how you focus on their artistry. Thank you for this!
WOW! What a perfect introduction video. It is the ideal companion to some of the other longer videos. Short enough to allow new fans/ reactors to consider watching, thorough enough to really encapsulate the magic and musicality of BTS and up to date so that new watchers get a truer picture of where BTS are at this time as well as pointing to where they may be heading in the future. Thank you for another wonderful video! 💜
I attended your livestream. I am so grateful that you decided to post this video. Please try not to doubt yourself. You have so many people who really appreciate your research and presentations of your ideas. 💜
This was a lovely surprise. Concentrating on their talent is genius. Thank you.
In a time where solo stans are ruining the hard work of BTS, THIS VIDEO WILL BRIBG EVERYONE BACK TO WHY THEY ARE LOVED AS A GROUP. ARMY RE UNITE AND BRING BACK THE DAYS WE WERE A SOLID FABDOM.
0:35 omg i used to see soooo many intro to bts videos as a baby army. But yeah they mostly focus on personality. I think i got to know more about their music once i joined twitter cause twt armys are elite
I'm glad you posted the video, I was eagerly waiting💜
Love this guide to BTS. Thank you so much for making it. Borahae.
I love the twist at the end, your videos are gold💜
Thank you for making this video Boracity! To skeptics and non-pop fans out there, if I may add, j-hope is MORE THAN JUST THE STREET DANCER (though he is indeed a dance prodigy.) He is one of the 3 Musical Pillars of BTS ( Time Magazine article mentioned by the founder Bang PD), he is a COMPOSER and a PRODUCER as well just like Namjoon and SUGA. 145 KOMCA credits / songs under BTS and his three albums ( Hope World, critically acclaimed Jack In The Box and HOPE ON THE STREET) He is the Dance Leader of BTS that the members look up to and the KING OF STAGE PRESENCE! 🤩His delivery of songs and raps is very emotive, with very a unique flow and GREAT STABILITY even when dancing! He was the first trainee Big Hit signed and 3rd to join BTS. He learned composing and rapping as a trainee, which was pretty amazing because now he is one of the greatest rappers and lyricists hailed from South Korea and a very versatile artist - that's why he is called the Golden Hyung by our fandom!
This is it the best BTS guide I’ve ever seen, and I’m not one for guides. I love how much you incorporated their musical styles into it! 💜
Hi Boracity, minute 4:25 - there is a Korean artist who has already won a Grammy i.e. Sumi Jo: An internationally acclaimed soprano. In fact, she was a 2-times nominee.
To genialny przekaz pokazujący geniusz ludzi tworzących grupę BTS od strony muzycznej Można się nim znakomicie posiłkować tłumacząc, dlaczego BTS jest tak wyjątkowe.
this guide is much better than those long guides with millions of views...they don't even describe the members well, especially Jin! thank you for mentioning Jin's interest in rock and the Silver Voice title! I think anyone can watch this guide not just haters, as it's very informative even for fans.
Yeayy! I'm glad you decided to post it!
you literally NAILED ITTTTT 🩷
I'm so proud of BTS as a group and as solos. I love them so much.
They are sooo good as a group and also individually perfect. Like they have the talent to go solo yet their love for the group keeps them together. I just love how they are actually friends, a group yet not compromising their individuality for it.
This is the best introduction to BTS i have ever seen
FINALLY an updated and amazingly detailed guide despite being shorter than the usual guides. tysm Bora
Sometimes you need a long guide and a deep dive, but this is so comprehensive of their musical style and WHY they’re so diverse in their genres and styles! Like just… wow!
Excellent video. Gotta be one of the greatest ARMY channels if not the greatest one.
This was FANTASTIC!!! So insightful and perfect at turning people’s assumptions on their head.
It's actually crazy how insanely talented bts is , I really love how you managed to talk about their music styles in this short video , not only introductions of names and personality. This is a short but perfect guide to bts, and the real joy is dto find more about them, their music, their lyrics and production, their shows and all the stuff by yourself.and I promise you once you discover these multi-talented seven artists who are also the biggest boyband int he world, you will not regret finiding them. 💜
You're not wrong about the ages! This video was sent to me by my mom, who's turning 70 this spring! 😂
started dating someone who for once was a bit curious and was willing to hear me explain why i like them. some people are a lost cause and have too much prejudice, but this video came right on time for me and as usual you make the best, most eloquent, coherent and engaging videos. thank you!! you bring so much to this community and i’m forever grateful. i purple you💜
I ended up tearing up at the end of the video because even though I know it, it still blows my mind how much passion BTS has for music, that is one in a million. To hear snippets of so many songs and say "oh yeah, they're all bangers" is no easy feat.
i love that even though you didn't extensively discuss their personalities, you still did it very much so just by talking about their music styles and things they're good at. i hadn't even realized you didn't talk about the personalities until I saw the comments, actually lol you did each of them justice in your descriptions, and portrayed them in a very "equal" light, which is not usually the case (even if unintentionally) in other guides. I'm very grateful to you for that (especially as a jin biased lol). best guide I've seen around here 💜
Thank you finally a music/ artistry focused guide!!!!!
I think they are popular celebrities and i also gravitated towards also thanks to their personalities but getting introduced to music artists through... their music has somehow often been very secondary in guides.. and so very underrated artits!!
Not music records, but the actual artistry, the genres, and tastes being the central part of the video!
Loved loved loved that you nuanced at the end that also theyvare not just defined by that because you really can't box any of them at the end of the day!
Concise but as comprehensive as possible (which is sooo hard to make choices because so much more coild be included) so good job!
i was expecting this as you said it was coming on the live but i didnt think it would be so soon THANK YOU. i love your videos mannn
This is really cleverly put together! It shows how complex and talented they are. Great job.
YOU POSTED IT!!! 😂😂😂 Kudos to you 🥂
As the genius philosopher Kim Namjoon once said: "Haters gonna hate." 💜
Aaaaand... it was awesome ❤
This video was so good, I watched it twice, back-to-back. I love how it talks about their musical styles in a short, but comprehensive video that we can share with non-BTS listeners. Thank you for taking the time to pull together another informative, well-produced video.
What's a wonderful description of BTS that can capture them all talented in a short video. I appreciate you so much Boracity😊 I purple you 💜🥰
the ending of the video gave me goosebumps because damn i'm so tired of explaining to people that they are so versatile in genres of music. They are literally the epitome of the expression "so different and yet so similar". This is a rare case when completely different people are close in many things. That's why I love each of them, each of them is a part of my character.
I watched it for the second time and even if you say it's for the haters/skepticals, I as an army I adore your guide. Thank you again for the very hard work and also thanks to bora sister for being your exquisite supporter. 💜💜
Targeted audience: haters, non kpop fans, skeptics
Real audience: Army
Omg lets go this is what i need! thank you boracity as always 💜🙏
You did so well with this guide! It’s the perfect first impression of BTS and the members.
Played this for my dad during dinner and he asked many follow up questions so it's safe to assume he's peeking through the door 🥹 THANK YOU BORACITY 😭💜
The first 30 sec was literally me. I used to be a skeptic 🙈. I first heard of bts in 2018 and i saw some of their mvs, thought it was ok but didnt get the hype. I was just a casual fan. But i became curious because of their success. Even things like bbmas or jimmy fallon got my attention and i realised that an Asian artist was doing such remarkable things and that made me think theres more to them than typical kpoppy stuff. But i didnt become proper army until around september 2020, where for some reason i started watching a bunch of compilations and edits and funny videos (typical youtube baby army era) and i got hooked! I just had to know everything about them and ive basically been studying bts and army ever since. But i also need to point out the role of army in getting my interest, in making bts accessible by providing translations and by being so funny and smart. If it werent for them, i wouldn't be here. I love you all💜💜💜
Thank you so much Boracity! Watching your guide on Bangtan made me even more proud to be ARMY 💜
This video could really benefit from having more details about hobi’s lyricism and music. I feel like a lot of people overlook his metaphors and references to literature in his lyrics and unfortunately this video does the same. I feel like this is why so many people come into the fandom not knowing much about him besides he can dance, he’s hopeful, etc. and even he is trying to push away from that narrative
This is false bc not everyone comes into the fd thinking that and I definitely didn’t. This video is an short overview of all members and unfortunately not everything can be included bc there are still stuff missing from each member but she did a great job. If these people are not doing a good enough job for you then I suggest making your own or watch the ones that include what you’re looking for.
@KS-sh1np I agree with your opinion, as far as mentioning Hobi’s lyricism - while she does that for RM and Suga - she fails to mention the same for Hobi! J hope writes his own lyrics too and has a lot of writing credits (139 songs). Also, she should have included 1 line about HOTS -this is really important work - and is so important to Hobi!
@@Happydaysxox Well good thing I said “so many people come into the fandom” and not “everyone” :) and if this account is going to involve other members’ lyricism and artistry then they can include j-hope’s as well
the same could be said for everyone. You didn't understand the content you were looking at. the idea of this whole thing was to take some main point/term from each of them that people notice first and assume that he only brings that particular skill to the group, but then that assumption is overturned, because the Tannies are simply many talents and that one word is not enough to describe them. those who understood the video also realized that by watching Hobi only as a dancer, they don't know how amazing a lyricist, producer, rapper and singer he is too
@TiaIela eh I don’t think YOU understood this video lmao
ARMY often places too much emphasis on Namjoon’s image as a leader. He’s undoubtedly the best leader, but he’s not just that-he’s a genius artist and rapper who has earned top recognition from all corners of the music industry. There’s no other K-pop artist like him. We should give more respect to his artistry; otherwise, it wouldn’t do justice to his efforts and passion.
I agree with your opinion. His artistry is too often underestimated. He also has the background of being a well known underground rapper, Runch Randa, while still in high school. Limiting his identity to just ‘the best leader’ wouldn’t be fair. Fans shouldn’t suppress his talent.
agree. i’ve seen way too many armys themselves discredit joon’s rapping especially
"If you think they are not for you, you just have to keep looking. You won't regret it." Those words were literally so trueeee ...i loved this video and how you expressed them ..just amazing and perfect ❤
I cried a little while watching this. What a small yet detailed video. Thank you Boracity.. 💜 I miss them so so much nowadays that I just can't hold my tears most times I see these kind of videos...
