I just screenshot the "Routine is the enemy..." quote you have. I just retired after 51 years of working/routine. I think losing the routine has been the hardest part. I will use this quote to remind myself that I can now approach retirement with enthusiasm rather than regret/discomfort. I used to do art but allowed my routine to distract from it. Thanks to BTS and your comment/narrative, I will approach life differently. Thank you.
As always, I appreciate your comments. The 7 BTS members are super special in many ways, so please don’t take my comment as a criticism. It seems to me that as young boys, they had excellent people shepherding them along. People who recognized their unique talents and fostered them; stretched their knowledge base to some rather arcane Western literature; devised interesting games for Run BTS; sent them on trips to rather out of the way places…Finland, Malta; developed excellent choreography that has promoted growth for all the members; producers and song writers who compliment and extend the members individual talents; etc… I could continue, but you get the point. BTS would not exist without the 7 members who have given so much and have the personalities to ensure their success. But there are many people behind the scenes, without whom BTS would not be where they are today!
I agree with what you said about the people behind BTS success. I give a lot of credit to ARMY. Many of the BTS songs and lyrics were written by RM, Suga and JHope. The vocal line also contributed lyrics to their songs. Bang PD said he gave them artistic freedom to create their own music.
Plus the ... what was it ... the something and Development people. The people who trained them how to be idols, how to behave as idols in the industry; to the extent that CEO Bang directed. Then, their family and friends too. Greatness is not created in a bubble. They were natured and nurtured to be so. Our7 are magnificent! 💜
I throughly enjoyed your work on this video and your insights into the group. I like watching BTS content but get frustrated at the lack of maturity. I am 64 and BTS was my salvation during a difficult time in my life. ARMY was also a big factor in that being so welcoming and kind. I know that is the case for many ARMY. The vibe has changed a bit now with ARMY but I remind myself and others ARMY is billions strong and that includes every nationality, ethnic group, religion, gender, age, economic level, you name it. It is impossible for us all to see eye to eye on every single subject. What is important now is that we continue to show respect for one another so that our actions do not reflect negatively on BTS. I am going to subscribe and continue to watch your content. Thank You! 💜
BTS also saved my sanity, reminded me of my resilience, while going through complex grief... I wish I could recall the exact moment when it clicked for me... At first, it was their beauty that caught my eye... A deep dive into their story revealed their authenticity and depth of character. My "peers" do not begin to understand my "latest obsession," and no one has bothered to look under the surface. I'm grateful I have decided to stay open-minded and intensely curious about the things that make me feel alive... Art and music... (From Bowie to Philip Glass to BTS, and to my amazement BTS has proved to be most impactful) Thank you...
That sounds so lovely and I can only hope that in time the fandom will get back on track. The daily hate I read has increased exponentially! I sometimes think that there are no ot7s out there. Hopefully by 2025 the real die hard Bts fans will still be here and the others will have moved on. Wishing and Hoping for a united fandom in 2025!!! I hope that you have a Lovely Day...✌💜
@marygalligan6455 OT7 here ✋️😁🫰! I just quietly hope those "others" will soon move on once they get bored... and my hope is by the time BTS reunites, enough of them are gone that I might actually have a chance to snag a ticket to a concert & celebrate the event with the true beautiful purple souled ARMYs I've come to admire almost as much as our 7...💜😁...... and I'd feel blessed to be one of those 200 people watching Suga with his guitar (or any of them, really), I can't think of a more fabulous night. Could you imagine how cool that would be?
@@pz4971 Hi to you...I have never once been able to get a ticket for any of their concerts. I tried my hardest!!! My goal is a ticket when they return and hopefully go on tour. Looking forward to that sea of purple with those lovely Armys. Who knows maybe we'll be at the same concert. I hope you have a Fantastic Weekend...✌💜💜💜
RM I think said "We are seven individual in the same boat looking in different directions." I want to change it : " We are seven giants in the same boat looking in different directions." To me, they have paved the way. For a long time, I thought K-Pop meant Kids -Pop, so I was not interested. After I started watching Google shorts I fell in love with BTS. I started listening to "Fire" and Idol. Before I clicked play, I remember hoping that I liked it. I get so tired of kids that grow up and then destroy their lives for 10 years. Then they put out some music. Happily, I loved "Set Me Free! When I heard "Like Crazy" I knew it was a hit! I actually wanted to buy music! Each solo by BTS has been superb! Before BTS I was listening to classic Rock and Country. I thought I was too old for rap and uninterested in big-band music. They are all so incredible. I want them to go as high as they want. I consider them real idols. Let them stay together and still make room for their individual projects. I am so happy for them! You say it a lot better but I just had to add my thoughts.
It's funny how long it took my to understand that "Fire" had a very important message and didn't just "soung good". Dr. Jiyoung Lee always shows of a particular quote from the lyrics to show how BTS is different. It helps that the MV on the HYBE channel has a serious misstranslation and only 1theK has the real one: "It's okay to loose" But you have to know the context and truly look closer to understand how important that sentiment is - especially in SK - but also everywhere else.
Thank you, it’s heart warming to know what we as ARMY know about the guys. They don’t complicate things for themselves and our relationship with them is symbiotic. I’ve never experienced this type of devotion because it’s not just music but to know them individually through their music, I certainly am vested.
Completely agree - very proud of them - admire them and want to be the best I can be because of their inspiration. This is different than other fandoms I think in its purest form it is the most wholesome and healthy love for an artist I’ve ever seen.
Previous bands I loved had imploded when they reached the heights of fame, for various reasons. One of my favorites came back 10 years later, after learning hard lessons about humility and the importance of the group. I'm so glad the guys didn't have to go through the horrific lows to learn this lesson. The have managed all their obstacles and hardship with incredible grace and maturity. As usual, you have made me see the episode from a different angle. Thank you.
I haven’t watched this episode yet, and as expected you did a great job in its review. In fact, I was so moved by your synopsis that you moved me to tears. You have a wonderful way in breaking down and relaying sometimes complex material in a concise and easy to understand format. Thank you💜
Because BTS serve in the military in the height of their careers meaning NO ONE will have the audacity to request to request to be exempted from the service. They are not bigger than BTS so in this sense BTS paved the way again for all KPOP idols.❤🎉😊
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and a summary of the Behind The Stars episodes. I especially loved this one. You are speaking wisely and from your heart. I can learn a lot. Thank you so much 💜
I also think the clear expectations of Asian societies in terms of expected behaviour ( sex, drugs and rock n roll ) humility and respect has probably helped them not go “off the rails” like many young western artists. They know that certain bad behaviours are not tolerated. Their families as well clearly have been profound influences. And credit to Bang PD he seems to have their interests as artists and individuals front of mind.
@@ruthfischer7615 that’s obviously true, it’s just that the risk to your career if found out are exponentially higher. No one would bat an eyelid if a UK or US artist was found out to have smoked weed for example.
No matter what they say about Bang PD if its not with his guidance and BTS talent ,dedication to their craft wIth ARMY supporting them all this time ......thats why BTS is iconic.
It's not arrogant to accept that they paved the way for others. That makes sense why the solo projects were also successful . Before BTS no other KPop groups were invited in the shows in the new era and not just for a year but consistently being relevant especially in the international market. Thank you for covering BTS very insightful and sincere. More power to your channel. Please vote for JK at the Peoples choice awards 4 nominations in music category, voting will end soon jan 19 soplease voote for JK representing BTS versus western artist. Thank you for your channel.
If it was for any other industry, an artist with the kind of soft power bts influenced, could unabashadly have had an arrogant proclamation (rightfully so) and it wouldnt be seen as some starking arrogance.
I think the episodes keep getting better and better. I think in the last episode, I may have learned several things or at least reinforced things I had thought in the past.
There is SO MUCH to unpack in the ugly phrase “western validation” which says A LOT MORE about those pointing the fingers than anyone else in the room. The more intelligent people reading this know exactly what I mean.
"It's in English" and as such... reminds me of what Elliot Sang said in his video essay "why we love tortured artists" ( I think that is the title)... easy trap and so so wrong...
Estos chicos se sacrificaron mucho para llegar al éxito y ahora teabajan más aun para mantenerlo. Lo lograran a su regreso lo merecen x tanto talento. Los 7 lo lograran a su regreso.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜.y no olviden tienen un ejército que los ama.
You absolutely help to make me think deeper about BTS journey. I'm going to watch these journeys 1 to 3 again. I need to because the contributed to my own journey in real life from 2021 to 2023, and I am still drawing strength from them in 2024.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for your covering of this. I wouldn't have any other way to learn about it and your very insightful view has been about the same as mine as you talk about what the guys have said. As an older, long time fan that's out of the country, it's hard to keep up to date at times. Again, Thank You 😊 🫰💜💜💜
All the guys should be proud. No one should or want to take that away from them. Good job guys. Yes you did pave tbe way, and you made it easier for others. And youve keep it together. You guys are awesome clearly one of a kind.
Qu'elle belle dédicace faite pour ces 7 artistes que j'admire , merci , c'est avec plaisir que je vous ai entendu parlé de leurs combats et leurs magnifiques AURA ( personnellement j'ai une admiration pour Kim Namjoon) , à bientôt,, bye
The times off that things forced on them and all of us made them seek other avenues. If all of us took advantage of our side tracks we come out better for it. This time in the military will ultimately be good for them and make them stronger in their goals. I feel like I am being given the chance to catch up on knowing who they are. I have thought that the timing of JK’s album was perfect. I call it the GOLDEN ‘mic drop’. Like in the song Standing Next To You, he laid the Album down like the mic , walked away and let it do its thing. I would call them White Lighters, but that puts a lot of pressure on a person. They just need to keep being in this world creating good things and awakening the White Lighters in the rest of us.
I'm sorry, I missed it ... what log were you referring to about Jimin waiting for his brothers to come around ...? Did i miss something? Great video btw, your analysis and perspective is fascinating. 💜
@@AsianEntertainmentandCulture I am well! Back from Panama -home in South Africa- spent four months in Panama with family! I am learning Spanish - old people take longer to learn lolz! Yes we are safe here but we live in a rural area- city folks aren’t as lucky! South Africa is not for the faint hearted although it is very beautiful! You are like a dear daughter to me and I soon will contact you on website! You also be safe and healthy and know that I think you are a remarkable person and am cheering for you and yours always! 💜borahae
Considering Black Pink has said they did and they didn't which makes me wonder if they really believe it or if they were made to say it and no one called them arrogant, delusional yes but not arrogant
THANK YOU again for your review of the book! I still have not finished reading it but I have watched all of your reviews! What is the Log of Jimin you speak of?
I just screenshot the "Routine is the enemy..." quote you have. I just retired after 51 years of working/routine. I think losing the routine has been the hardest part. I will use this quote to remind myself that I can now approach retirement with enthusiasm rather than regret/discomfort. I used to do art but allowed my routine to distract from it. Thanks to BTS and your comment/narrative, I will approach life differently. Thank you.
Congratulations, enjoy, & good luck exploring the infinite possibilities 🙏💜!
Haha, just did the same! Regards from a silver army in Vienna!❤
@@m.bk.3928woohoo! Silver ARMY rocks!
As always, I appreciate your comments. The 7 BTS members are super special in many ways, so please don’t take my comment as a criticism.
It seems to me that as young boys, they had excellent people shepherding them along. People who recognized their unique talents and fostered them; stretched their knowledge base to some rather arcane Western literature; devised interesting games for Run BTS; sent them on trips to rather out of the way places…Finland, Malta; developed excellent choreography that has promoted growth for all the members; producers and song writers who compliment and extend the members individual talents; etc… I could continue, but you get the point.

It's not arrogance at all! Infact I'm soo happy they choose to speak some facts instead of being too humble! Others need to have a reality check!
They definitely BTS paved the way for other groups in Korea. Legends and icons.
No it’s not Arrogant. BTS did pave the way. bTS fan base is like No other. We will be there when they come back in 2025 💜💜💜🌺🌹

The sad thing about the military service is the reason why so many young men have to do it.
No other bands or Kpop can top up what BTS did! So proud of BTS! Thank you for your wonderful comments as usual. I look forward to the next!
I agree with you about the military enlistments, its giving them another perspectives in their lives.
BTS did pave the way. When they agree to that, it isn't arrogance. It is acknowledgment of a fact that they worked hard and achieved amazing results.
