It’s a week late but the lyrics are usually posted in the comments of the audio by someone so they could also always look at it while streaming the audio :))
lol "skit" isn't a song but just a conversation bts had when dynamite got no.1 on billboard. they like to sometimes put snippets of convos into their albums. and thank u so much for being open minded and giving the boys a chance :) i love the reaction!
6:21 thats V (real name Kim taehyung) he is known for his soft and deep voice 6:30 thats Jungkook (real name Jeon Jungkook) he is the main vocalist of BTS and the youngest 6:38 Thats Suga or Agust d (real name min Yoongi) he is a rapper and is known for spitting fire 6:57 that Jin (real name Kim seokjin) he is the oldest and is known for his emotionful voice and acting skills 7:02 that Jimin (real name Park Jimin) he is my favourite vocalist of BTS and yes his innocent voice is amazing but he is also really known for his high notes 7:33 thats J hope (real name Jung hoseok) he is the sunshine of BTS he is super positive and is a rapper but also can sing very well 2:16 and thats RM (real name Kim Namjoon) he is the leader of BTS and is known for his amazing motivational words and he is very hardworking
I liked your energy and positivity!! From an ARMY, I’m glad you enjoyed the album !! One thing I wanna say is that BTS are a “pop” group but they definitely do every single genre. They actually started with hip-hop, which their first four albums are full of, until they expanded their sound, but until this day, their stuff still is based in hip-hop yet includes all elements. They’ve said in interviews that their music is a genre of its own, “The genre is BTS,” they’ve said, and it’s very true!!
@@ShelbyShuffleMode they are not like other kpop groups or any boybands to be known for only love relationship lyrics and teen pop their songs is never based on love only social problems, youth, female empowerment, equality, thats stuff and also they have variety of genres
Their music is way more deeper than you could ever even guess...there are psychologists who have analyzed their lyrics and have even written books on it. Their message of self love is based primarily on Carl Jung's Jungian psychology, and even he has given an interview about it. People often don't pay much attention to the actual message and the lyrics, but if you do, you'll be overwhelmed. The symbolism hidden in their music videos are just, phenomenal. Every little thing has a meaning behind it, and it makes it more interesting. You'll never regret falling into their blackhole
This isn't criticism, but just to be a bit more precise 💜: I believe that what A A means is that Map of the Soul is inspired by a book using Carl Jung's theories and the author has been giving interviews on the connection between BTS and his book. Carl Jung has not given any interviews... with him being long dead and all.
bts has broken several barriers for kpop and that of a boy band in general, so limiting them to kpop doesn't do enough justice. they constantly break out of genres and are hugely involved in their music which is not common for normal kpop groups. they are so much more than a kpop group. i hope that we can see them as normal artists rather than assigning a whole 'genre' to them.
In the song BLUE AND GREY . the first and the last guy who sang was V (kim taehyung) . he is the one who wrote the lyrics for vocalists part and produced the song . (and the lyrics were basically what he felt when he was depressed in the past) it was actually in english and he was going to include it in his own mixtape . but when the members heard the song they wanted to include it in the album . so he had to translate it from english to korean.
@@beubiueniwn8317 he told it was about the burnout he had in the beginning of year .. n writing abt it made him a lot better .. this is a masterpiece.. i cry every time with this
@@dheerajag8660 idk why you're telling me this. I agreed with what you said. This is why I said he talked about burning out, and he never said he was depressed.
There are 3 rappers and 4 vocalists. The ones who’s voices you like are V and Jungkook. This album is fully self-made. The “innocent” voice is Jimin. The other members are Suga(rapper), he produced “Telepathy”, J-Hope (rapper) started off and produced “Dis-ease”, RM(rapper/leader) he has the deep rap voice and wrote lyrics for a lot of the songs, and Jin (singer) he’s got the higher slightly “nasal” voice on “Stay”.
I agree, it's one of my favorites for sure! I also love love yourself Awnser and Wings. I mean i love all of them but those are the one i am most drawn too :)
@danni _05 Wasn’t the best selling album by Taylor Swift? And by it not being a masterpiece I mean we aren’t going to be singing it in 60 years like we do with the Beatles songs.
@danni _05 Which lyrics are so good lol because I’m reading through them now and they are all pretty fake deep. It’s not as spectacular as I thought it would be based on how you described it.
@@througheverything looks like you're kinda obsessed with videos about bts. Are you this miserable? lmao im seeing you on every comment. Get off the internet and make some friends i beg you
Thanks for the love on this video! Just a quick update: since I've posted this I've fallen down the BTS rabbit hole and have quickly gone from not knowing the names of the members to knowing all of their names. Where have I been the last 7 years?! I am a fan of their artistry, that's for sure.
WOW that's so quick lmaoo join the club, and that's exactly how I felt when I discovered them n the beginning of this year, like where have I been??!! Lol
What makes BTS beyond Kpop? They don't rely on their hefty dance moves nor aesthetic MVs with visually stimulating concepts as what most Kpop bands do every single time to seduce their fans. BTS talks about societal problems, rigid school systems, conflicts between generations, mental problems, self-love, youth, losing innocence, and temptations the situation that the whole Kpop community is trying to avoid. Before I became a BTS stan I was already into Kpop, because something flashy and colorful was new to me but as I dug deep into the genre I kept on looking for more and I didn't know what quality I was looking for, then BTS came and showed me sincerity. BTS broke the monopoly of elite companies in Kpop, their humble background is just the icing on the cake.
You need lyrics to get the full experience! With BTS, the song reaction is not complete without lyrics! Because they sing to spread positivity and message that world needs! BE in particular is an album addressing the pandemic. Doolset is a very good source to check out lyrics!
Btw most ppl don't consider BTS as kpop. If you listen to their discography, you'll realize that they're very different from kpop groups and even boybands in general . They basically take the best of the Korean music and the best western music to make their own "bts-esque" music. So good.
One thing you need to realize with BTS is that they like to experiment with sounds so you’ll find cross genre sounding songs. They help produce their own songs especially with the writing as majority of their songs are natural expressions of what they’re feeling/experiencing/expressing relating to their lives with the hopes that each message of their songs can relate to their listeners. The reason why they didn’t really stick to one genre (aside from the fact that kpop sounds usually also is a cross between hiphop-edm-rnb) is that they got criticized for debuting as a hiphop group, underground rappers criticized 2 members who used to be underground rappers for joining an idol group (boy band) and not “resisting temptation” because in Korea idol songs (kpop songs) and idol industry (kpop) are looked down on. They really started experimenting around their HYYH era where they shockingly came out with fresh sounds compared from their past albums. All in all, if you have a preferred genre I guarantee you you can find a specific BTS song you will like :)
When it comes to BTS their lyrics are top tier, something so relatable, full of emotions and poetic even. When you listen to them again PLEASE LOOK AT THE LYRICS as well. You are missing a lot without them.
This is why we say bts is not kpop. When we think of kpop its all poppy but bts is sooo different.. not your typical boyband. This album was self produced.. all the members were in producing and composing of this album.
the guy which voice you liked is taehyung. he has one of widest vocal ranges in the whole kpop. Taehyung also becomes the first kpop baritone legend :) btw he produced and composed blue and grey
First, I Wonder whether you’ve listened to BLACK SWAN? That song would represent their mature sound, just prior to this album. Do watch the live performance (late late show with James Corden, or the MV). You should also check out the ORCHESTRAL version of the song they made for the ART FILM. The song is built around this quote by Martha Graham, “The dancer dies twice, the first time when he stops dancing.” By then, you will realise that BTS is NOT your typical k-pop group. Secondly, since you came to know them via Dynamite, which is their first song totally in English, you would be missing out on one of their remarkable strengths as lyricists. To sample what I mean, check out FAKE LOVE MV, paying attention to the lyrics subs. Thirdly, if you haven’t already, check out their NPR tiny desk concert, and you will hear their sound with a LIVE BAND: 3 songs back to back, introducing you to 2 of their classics, Save Me and Spring Day.
BTW they write and produce most of their songs and this album was entirely self-produced, written and directed by the group. Of course, they collaborated with other producers and mixers but this project was one of the more heavily self-directed ones.
"oh, get it...member of bts i don't know" cracked me up lol.thank you for your reaction, it's always nice to see people pleasantly surprised about their music:)
Kpop is not pop. It’s just a way used by western media to block songs from other countries get into mainstream music. And that’s why there is Latin music, kpop, etc. but not US music or UK music. Just because the music came from Korea, it is not necessarily pop! There are all genres of groups that are broadly defined as kpop by the western media. BTS in particular has no genre, they do it all!
Kpop literally stands for Korean pop and the ones who categorise it as kpop are Koreans themselves, not Western media. The term has existed for a long time, it came after the term 'jpop'. Most kpop uses elements from different genres like BTS but its still pop music.
@@througheverything I don’t agree. A hip hop song, no matter the language should be called a hip hop song. Either all songs should be named based on language or all songs should be named based on sound. I don’t see why songs in English should have multiple genres, while others won’t.
Fun Fact: This album was self-directed meaning all of the members had a hand in the production, direction and promotion of the album. At least one member was also credited on each song!
16:14 BTS is not "starting" to mature their pop sound, they've always evolve since their first album debut in 2014, and keeps evolving in each comeback, and not just evolving but also changing, experimenting, and they NOT keep stuck or attached to one genre or one formula. They've been mature since day one when it comes to music, altough they were just teenagers, their music was always very consistent, with strong messages and personality, and also it always had their touch in it, be it through writing, composing or producing, they were always involved in the process of making the songs
"You really like the music" 😂 that's a good start - when you were looking for Kpop, this album couldn't be further from the typical idea of that. I suggest to watch CRASH course BTS 2020. It has a great musical overview and I'm 1000% certain you will find great MUSIC along the way. Have fun!
The innocent sweet high pitched voice you liked is jimin , but let me tell you, this innocence will fade away once you listen to his solo " filter " and watch its performance . Also check out his solos " lie" " serendipity " " promise " And the deep toned voice in the beginning of blue and grey is V and he is jimin's soulmate . You cab hear them sing together in " friends " which is the cutest song ever . Also check his solos " scenery " " inner child" " winter bear "
BE album is like a roller coaster ride of emotions. BTS is so versatile that they can do any type of music. Thank you for giving their music a chance. 'Love BE so much.
3:55 Naahhh gurl......Jimin ain’t innocent....lemme tell you this man is dangerous **whispers** very dangerous.....ok enough scaring i loved the reaction please also react to the life goes on mv its ✨*beautiful*✨
I hope you make another reaction to the album while reading the lyrics because it will literally hit you. Listening to BTS songs while reading the lyrics is really a must! Glad you tried them, they all participated in producing and writing the lyrics of this album (mostly all of their songs are credited with the members from lyrics and producing but this one is really a BTS self album)
I love this reaction!! As an ARMY I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it and I hope you listen to them more, I know it can be overwhelming since there’s a whole lot of music and a whole lot to the group so just take your time, but I’d definitely recommend the lyrics!! BE is definitely a great start because it really showcases a lot of their different styles!! Hope to see more in the future!
At 6:25 when you asked who was singing, his name is V...He has the deepest voice in the group when it comes to vocals...Also I think you should check out the lyrics to the songs, I think you’d like it and connect to it better💜💜
BTS have 3 principal lines (rap line, vocal line and dance line). In the rap line we have RM (leader), Suga and J-Hope. In the vocal line we have Jin (oldest), Jimin, V and Jungkook (main vocal). In the dance line we have Jimin, J-Hope (both main dancers), Jungkook and V. In many albums we have 2 subunits songs (One song of the rappers and one song of the vocalist) but in this album F.T.M.R is a 2 vocals and 2 rappers song, Stay is a 2 vocals and 1 rapper song
definitely check out the lyrics for this album, their lyrics are always so personal and meaningful. This album's message was geared towards the global pandemic and the mental struggles many of us encountered/encountering during it. The central message is that Life will go on we have to remember to pick ourselves up so we can get through it. you can find lyric translations to all the songs on genius :) i honestly cried to Blue & Grey... But fun fact! This was a heavily self directed album! although they members have written/composed & produced many songs in previous projects this is their brain child. Blue & Grey was composed and mainly produced by the member called V (vocalist). V was also the photo visual project manager. he had a heavy hand in the promotional concept photos for this album. Telepathy was mainly produced by SUGA (rapper). He was also involved in the production of the physical Album Jacket. The album not only contains the CD but also photobooks of concept photoshoots and other materials for the ARMY. Dis-ease was mainly produced by Jhope (rapper). He also took on the main choreographer role. Traditionally his role in the group is Main Dancer. Stay was mainly produced by Jungkook(vocalist). He is also the Video Project manager and is the director of Life Goes On music video. Jin and Jimin (Both vocalists) were both the general Music Production Manager RM's (rapper) had the general producer role and was involved in the production every song except dynamite.
It was really cool seeing you just vibe to each song, i had some of your same reactions when I first heard the album! lol, also everyone in the comments probably told u already, but if u wanna check out any of their others albums (i recommend u any from the The Most Beautiful Moment In Life series, Dark & Wild or Love Yourself: Tear!!) you could watch the translated lyric videos if u wanna understand better each song, it's cool if u keep this format tho, feels really fresh and kind of shows how with music u don't have to understand the language to enjoy it :]
BTS songs have deep messages and almost all are inter connected. BTS is not your typical run of the mill boy band. I suggest you better dig deeper into their songs and mv's. This artists are on a different level that no other group had achieved.
love your reaction. now I'm wishing you react to MONO, it is like an album but called a playlist created by RM, the leader of BTS. the songs and the whole vibe is so good. :)
bts has many different styles of music! They've dabbled in everything from rap, RnB, edm, pop, rock,etc. so they quite literally have something for everyone! The reason BTS is so popular is because of their lyrics and messages, they are very personal and authentic, talking about mental health, politics, bullying, self esteem, growing up, etc. (I actually wrote a whole thesis for my senior year research paper on their lyrical messaging). Their biggest draw is their music and lyrics, but they also have super amazing live performances and music videos.
They actually have a running cinematic storyline running through many of their videos that fans are still trying to piece together References to political events, literature, art, philosophy, etc can also be found in their music and videos. If you'd like something in that vein Id recommend the music video for "Spring Day" as well as the explanation video for it. Spring Day is actually protest art and was released in a pretty tumultuous time in Korean Politics so some fans at the time were even worried BTS would be blacklisted for releasing that video. Then the Korean president was impeached and replaced with the current one (president Moon) who loves bts which is kind of a cool fun fact. yeah,, they're definitely not shy about speaking up for what they believe in during times of distress when it could get them backlash but that's what I love them for.
In the same vein of political music I'd also recommend Baepsae and the explanation video from DKDKTV, and spinebreaker which also has an explanation video by DKDKTV . Both Beaspsae and Spinebreaker about socio-economics and the generational wealth gap between the old and young. Another song similar is GOGO which is a political satire about how society and capitalism creates an environment in which teens and young adults are consumed by consumerism, from the perspective of those teens and young adults. BTS's LYRICISM tends to be really thought out a beautiful. They create the most expressive metaphors for fear and loneliness, of looking into the mirror and not recognizing yourself, they're some of the more in-depth lyricists in both the western and eastern music industry right now. Not many artists are willing to get as personal as to explain to the audience their feelings of despair and sadness, “my determined ambition sharpened my sword every day, but it gets dulled by my irresistible greed . . . ripped by reality, my crimson blood gets shed, I didn’t think my greed would become a horn that calls upon hell” (“Boy Meets Evil”, BTS)
"The world is another name for despair, my height is another diameter of the earth, I carry happiness and worries . . . I want to be free, I want to be free from freedom because now I am happy, yet unhappy” (“Reflection”, BTS). whoo got a little heavy there MOVING ON.
BTS also have some videos with AMAZING cinematography, I'd recommend Fake Love, Idol, Blood Sweat & tears
Did I mention bts also has a hand in writing, producing, and composing all their music? They do, you can even check the writing credits on KOMCA also calling them kpop is a bit ,, how do i say this? inaccurate. They are a korean group, but honestly their music has evolved outside of the typical "genre" of kpop by so much and they've broken so many molds of the kpop industry that many people don't consider them kpop, especially in Korea where the general population consider them as breaking the kpop/idol stereotype. That being said, BTS fans aka ARMY usually do not consider themselves kpop fans, as most army have little to no interest in other groups outside of BTS. "kpop has a formula, BTS does not" BTS's treatment from by kpop industry was so bad, BTS have been trying to separate themselves from it for the last couple years, only a little bit ago, one of the members said in an interview that they dont consider their genre as kpop and rather "their genre is BTS" hope the information presented here was helpful and informing abt bts and the kpop industry, and sorry for this essay as a comment, but I hope this information will inform future bts reactions and helped you understand bts as a unique musical phenomenon and not just "a K-pop boyband" because they are so much more than that to to many people :)
Hi, some things about this boys. *Bts Is south Korean group, this days people prefer don't mix them with kpop. Kpop ist a genre and bts are know for their great repertoire of genres. Kpop is an industry in Korea, and not all singers/rappers/musicians in Korea are "kpop" 1. They are 7, 4 vocalist, 3 rappers (2 underground rappers) all dancers 2. Bts compose and produce in all their albums, so is very personal, they talk about mental health, politics, society, their fans, self love, etc 3. They have a story behind their videos so is difficult to new people understand, we (the armys) used to read a books and study set, philosophy, psychology and mythology to understand. Their last album for example was "map of the soul: 7" and is inspired by the psychologist book the map of the soul by Murray. 4. The army love them because they are good people who through a lot of bad things to be where they are now, and even being famous they stay humble. 5. They have a lot of genres but their base is very hiphop / rap. Also you can find subtitles in every possible language thanks to the fans, u only need to search with the name of the song or Activate cc. **Bts always present themselves as a Korean group, and always said they don't want to be labeled in a genre or industry. The fans also do not want to be mixed with kpopers, (most of us aren't kpop fans) we don't have the same ideals.
Fly to my room is the type of music for u to sit alone in front of the fireplace, having a wine during the night; relax, reflect or read a little, it's up to you😁 My favorite song of BE is Dis-ease, I'm not a fan of hip hop but this music is really good
Literally anytime I hear Dis-ease I am instantly like Yep J-hope write this song just the way it started it’s just the way Hobi writes his songs!! I love it so much!!why are there albums always so good 😭😭💜💜💜
Lyricsm is what makes BTS stands out and become the music icon that we know today so it's a must when it comes to their music, BTS members mostly play a main role in the writing process especially with this album Hope u go look it up even just off cam, they talk abt the situation that BTS themselves and each one of us are dealing at the moment, the isolation pandemic
Hi! I don't know if anyone managed it yet but the one you heard singing at 6:22 is Taehyung he is known as bts' barotone (don't know if I spelled correctly) he is really into jazz. The guy you mentioned after that is Jungkook he's the power vocal, our vocal king. Also the innocent voice you mentioned is Jimin he has quite a unique tone to his voice sometimes he's even mistaken as a girl for how high his voice sometimes get. I'm really happy seeing your open-minded approach and your positive comments! also sorry if we overwhelm you with our enthusiasm, we tend to jump onto people when we think they could possibly really like our boys so I hope we don't scare you away. Thank you for your reaction, I as an army really appreciate it
Awwweee. It's so cool to see you go through the motions for the first time and enjoying it. I remember my first time. :') Dynamite for me is actually the least 'BTS-sounding' song but a very welcome one.
so happy you enjoyed them :) Bts has a very large discography since they have been around for a while, and they have experimented with _a lot_ of genres (all amazing). They are very involved with their craft, specially in this comeback where it was pretty much all self produced: the songs, promotional pictures, concept, music video (the youngest member Jungkook directed it). people you pointed out through the video: 3:57 "innocent" voice is Jimin, his tone is trully unique and beautiful, very sweet sounding 6:25 this is V, his voice has a very smokey deep quality to it (idk if it makes sence lol), very soulful and beautiful 6:31 and this is Jungkook, he is the lead vocalist of the group and just tends to excel at anything he puts his mind into overall. his voice is very breathy and also very beautiful to answer your question, there are three rappers in the group (and four vocalists). I highly encourage you to watch more of them, you'll be even more shocked haha, this is just a fraction of their talent. You should also read the lyrics and watch some of their music videos, they think of every detail (they care a lot for their art) so it is all very high quality and worth checking out :)
I was so curious to see your reaction to Telepathy and Dis-ease, my personal two faves. And you did not disappoint! Fun fact someone might or might not have mentioned: Telepathy, Dis-ease and Stay are each mainly produced by 3 different members (Telepathy - Suga, Dis-ease - JHope, Stay - Jungkook). Each of the 7 members are also credited in the whole album at least once for different parts (producing, composing, lyrics). If you want to have some eye-candy performance wise, there were two pretty big award shows in Korea last week (MMA and MAMA), where they performed Dynamite and other songs (= Life Goes On, ON) and it was absolutely glorious. Happy listening!
The one you said “tone sounds very innocent” is Jimin lead singer and main dancer in BTS. If u dive more into BTS you’ll see Jimin ain’t that innocent. Jimin is king of duality. He is my ultimate bias in kpop. Jimin has my favorite voice in the world. His voice is so beautiful, angelic, soft, smooth, and soothing but he can also have an attractive sexy tone. His voice pops out so much. Overall I love them all. All their voices complement each other.
I laughed my ass off when she said Jimin sounded innocent 🌚. But like I don't blame her though, I mean have you seen this mans duality He goes from 🥺🤗🥰 to 😜🥵🤤.
By the way that was Jimin if you’re still wondering. And since you think he is innocent i think you should react to his ‘filter’ live performance because it will change your mind 😂
Great reaction! Im happy you enjoyed this album and appreciate their voices and diversity. Personally this album really made me cry when looking at the lyrics and meaning of the album. Bts wanted to give us comfort and happiness with this album especially during the covid pandemic. They're talking about the struggles and sadness they go through by not being able to see us(fans) its really sweet of them! Be may referes to the covid pandemic but it mainly talks about life struggles everyone gets, burnouts, mental breakdown and how we should just go with it and try to make the best out of it and appreciate the good things that we still experience (life goes on haha) Anyways Be really helps me through hard times as their lyrics and stories genuinely relates to anyone who is struggling right now. Its the fact that they are personally experiencing this that makes their message really special, its not just this and that for marketing but their genuine feelings theyre expressing and trying to comfort us with it. They mainly produced this album themselves (as well as the mv of life goes on was directed by jungkook) and you can definitely see that as how emotional this album is but also motivating. I hope it makes sense what im saying here but basically bts is really precious for genuinely caring so much for us and their humbleness to always credit the fans love and support that made them being able to heal from their struggles and problems. Bts is known for them trying to spread positivity and hope through their music and you can see they do it well and really affected us listeners, seeing how successful they are now and the amount of support they receive. They also always want to show their love and appreciation to army by writing songs about them and trying to help us as well as mentioning us. Anyways if you want more song suggestions their entire love yourself era is very good. There are three albums for this : Love yourself: her, love yourself: tear, love yourself: answer. They all have special meanings. If you go through all of these albums you see its a journey to us loving ourselves which is really interesting. Their album wings is really good too (personally one of my favourite albums so far), after that the hyyh trilogy albums. This is comepletely different from lys. Their songs in there are very soft, diverse, rock, rnb indie type rather than pop-ish,diverse. Its hard to explain the story since its really ALOT but it shows us about the boys coping with loss, struggles, death and the meaning of life. This leads to the love yourself era as it already implies with the message but this era shows a dark and sad side of the struggles while lys era giving us hope and motivation if you understand, anyways im hoping you would like to take a listen to these im looking forward it!
The member you kept saying you liked the tone was V / Taehyung. Check put some of his solo songs too. He has one called Sweet Night that was part of an OST for Itaewon Class. Its all in English. Singularity is a great song as well, it has neo soul vibes.
Every album is so different when it comes to BTS, so I hope you can enjoy some of their older music as well as some of their solo works! I would recommend the video BTS crash-course 2020 by Suga and Spice as that video has a pretty good breakdown of the eras of BTS’ music over the past 7 years and may help you determine where you want to go next. My personal suggestion would be the album “WINGS” as that was the first time they had solo songs for all 7 members on the album that really represent either the members themselves (example: Yoongi’s “First Love” about music) or their character in the storyline of their music videos (example: Taehyung’s “Stigma”). I think it’s a good starting off point since it gives you insight into how different each members style is, so it may help you understand how those styles come together in the entire group/how they combine in sub-unit songs (songs with a few members but not all seven).
Awww u look like so much fun! Thanks for your reaction I'm glad you enjoyed the album. Bts isn't really a one genre group and not quite the best group to get a good understanding of the kpop sound. You'll find that the top 5 groups in the industry don't always follow the typical kpop sound. BTS in particular as the top bird don't follow it at all. They have music that's solid kpop of course but most of the time they're off just doing their own thing or what they call 'BTS genre'.
well actually my most favorite album was wings being a army since 2013 and now BE is slowly replacing wings album 😭 but u should definitely try wings album and love yourself : tear album
great first reaction to bts omggg yeah bts have been around since 2013 so there’s a lot to their sound/style and how it’s changed over the years, mostly tied to how they started off as a hiphop group haha and then progressed from there they have a lottttt of music. I feel Like most ppl listening to their most recent 2019-onward stuff for the first time only have the tip of the iceberg 😭
I'm glad you're enjoying the album! BTS are their own genre. 😁 If you ever want to dive deeper, their lyrics are amazing, soothing, uplifting and beautiful and their musical variety will blow your mind. They have a team of 3 rapper and 4 vocalists who each have their own styles and they merge it in such unexpected ways!
As a baby army myself i really like ur reaction 😃 I was so surprised when digging more about their musics. They have many genres and their lyrics are so damn good! I reccomend you these videos: - ON (kinetic manifesto film and live performance at Grand Central) - Black Swan (mv and live performance) - Mic Drop feat Steve Aoki - Spring Day - Outro : Tear (live performance by rapper: RM, Suga and J-hope), there is no official mv for this song, but i think this is my fave song of BTS. This song is written by Suga to the member when they almost disbanded the group in early 2018 (this is the saddes part) - Interlude : Shadow (by Suga) Hope you'll enjoy those videos 😄
You'll love their songs like paradise, tomorrow, love myself, epiphany,21st century girls,so what, attack on bangtan,fun boys,jump, Pied Piper.etc...pls watch The rise of bangtan docu-series
Man, I really had a good laugh with ur final comments on the album, l mean, BTS is indeed still experimenting with new sounds and genres, but that's just how their music is. It's not fair to call their music 'pop' or think about them while thinking about past popular boy bands. You will be so surprised by their discography, my friend, and their lyrics, of course. BTS have amazing lyricists, the members themselves lmao, so I strongly recommend reading translations. For BE, BTS wanted to comfort their fans 'Army' with an album that is healing so the songs here progress from sad and longing to happy and cheerful, that makes sense, right? 'Life goes on' is the single with an MV for a reason and the album conveys that message perfectly. It was a nice video! I enjoyed ur reaction, I hope to see u doing more BTS reactions tho~
the thing about bts is, their lyrics are always beautiful and relatable, especially in this album, i hope you could read the lyrics on your free time 💜 and if you have a plan to do album listening party by bts like this again please listen to love yourself answer
BTS are known for their fiery performances, dance synchronization and moving lyrics. They are loved by many because of the message they want to impart through music. To react to their RM, the leader of BTS and producer of many of their song said that people should look the meaning of the lyrics.
The smooth deep voiced singer is Taehyung (V), The member with the "innocent" (😂😭) voice is Jimin. The one who's voice is a clear soft tenor (the one who opens dynamite) is Jungkook. The one with the light tenor with a slight nasal tinge is Jin.
It was nice to see you enjoying the album! I love to listen through their albums first and then dive into the lyrics (Genius.com has English translations). They literally have a song for everyone and delve into many genres, but still remain themselves. This album was written to express the varying emotions they've felt whilst in quarantine and not being able to perform for their fans this year. It really gets better with every listen for me. Oh and there's 3 rappers and 4 vocalists btw! For song recommendations: Black Swan, Louder than Bombs, ON, HOME and Fake Love. (You can turn on the CC button for English subtitles on their music videos). Thanks for the video!
BTS is very versatile. Usually, they have intense topics and tracks in their albums. In a recently released interview, RM has mentioned that their goal and focus for the BE album is to be more "healing" and chill so there's no intensity in the album
Im so glad you like it! You need the lyrics for sure though! :) You should listen to Boy With Luv, Fake Love, Idol, Black Swan, Spring Day, On, Outro: Tear, Don't Leave Me, and Save Me
Thank's for your positivity 💜 Bts makes this song 0-10 they're literally being anything like the producer, composer for this album. If you want to, can you listen to other bts album.. Bts album literally filled with great song. I suggest the Love Yourself series. Love yourself her, LY Tear, LY Answer. It's the album with the storyline about finding love then loving ourselves.. And bts lyrics is so deep about mental health, love yourself, positivity, etc. Sorry if I'm being too hyper lol,
I love how you call Jimin "innocent voice" it's so accurate 😂 Also there are 3 rappers! And BTS is a VERY experimental group, they've done probably every genre you can think of.
BTS do so many genres, songs like Blue&Grey, Lie, Mic Drop, So what, UGH! and Boy with luv sound like totally different artists produced them, but it's all BTS :D they dont sound like typical kpop either, they've long grown past that. As many people have suggested, checking out lyrics is such a treat and makes appreciate the songs much more (go to genius or doolsetbangtan, lyric videos on youtube suck really bad) :)
I hope you will look at more of their music! I would love to see an album review for their Map of the Soul 7. I'll reiterate what some others have said though....they are particularly well known for their lyricism so I really encourage you to look at an English translation of their lyrics.
I stumbled upon your reaction,. I am happy that you enjoyed the album. This is a special album, 1st time produced by all 7 members, from scratch to finished. If you go through their previous albums, you will see mostly are written by the rap line (RM, Suga and J-Hope), with few song written by the vocal line. But mostly are produced by their team of producers who worked with them since debut. If you start from the beginning, you will see how much they have improved in their music production. BTS are well know as lyricists, their songs may seem talking about love but at the same time have other meanings and messages, not about love. BTS are very diverse, if you search for other groups, you will find yourself figuring out the gerne of each group, but with BTS, you will never know what they put out next. I became ARMY during Love Yourself era, that is the album I love dearly. But a lot of armys became ARMY during The Most Beautiful Moment in Life era and Wing era, both of those albums are beautiful too. Very different from BE. Also this year they dropped Map of the Soul 7 album, that album also have high quality songs. Their earliest debut songs are all hip hop, mostly about the feeling of you.g people towards the real world at that time. If you search their earliest songs, you will never believe those 7 kids are the same 7 men you see right now.
BTS can definitely do BIG and INTENSE, but this album was made with the purpose of remembrance and relativity rather than big impact. They wanted to tell us how these times have affected them just like everyone else in the world, and to remind us that it won't always be like this, it will get better. The title track explains the purpose exceptionally well. Life goes on, and you can even hear it as the album goes on, the first half of the album feels mellow but hopeful, and toward the latter half it picks up, signaling a change for the better that is bound to come eventually. Then the last song closes off the album perfectly, reminding us that while the world might change, the bond between us won't, no matter how long we're kept apart.
I love this reaction, they really write a good lyrics u should look for it later, and people think bts are a pop group, because it's kpop, bit it's not really like this most of their songs are not pop✌️✌️
Updated chatty BTS video. I’ve come so far since I’ve filmed this 😅: ruclips.net/video/p00zhT_1XwQ/видео.html
If you got time you should look up the lyrics, bts is known for their lyrics.
yess!! i cannot emphasize this enough 😌
I definitely agree. Some songs sound hype, like "dis=ease" for instance, but the lyrics are the complete opposite.
Yes! If you check the lyrics I recommend looking at doolset's blog because she explains a lot of korean nuances that just a translation don't cover
It’s a week late but the lyrics are usually posted in the comments of the audio by someone so they could also always look at it while streaming the audio :))
Br
As an ARMY myself, word of advice: do NOT make the mistake of thinking about BTS as genre artists, lol.
Definitely something I’ve learned since listening to this album! 😁
Without the "lol" it almost looks like a threat 😂
In totally of all there albums and songs, they have done over 15 different genres
@@KARIAP dont, or else 👁 _ 👁
That’s like kpop thing
I don’t listen to alot of albums especially western ones…idk but don’t the try ou different genres too?!
lol "skit" isn't a song but just a conversation bts had when dynamite got no.1 on billboard. they like to sometimes put snippets of convos into their albums. and thank u so much for being open minded and giving the boys a chance :) i love the reaction!
6:21 thats V (real name Kim taehyung) he is known for his soft and deep voice
6:30 thats Jungkook (real name Jeon Jungkook) he is the main vocalist of BTS and the youngest
6:38 Thats Suga or Agust d (real name min Yoongi) he is a rapper and is known for spitting fire
6:57 that Jin (real name Kim seokjin) he is the oldest and is known for his emotionful voice and acting skills
7:02 that Jimin (real name Park Jimin) he is my favourite vocalist of BTS and yes his innocent voice is amazing but he is also really known for his high notes
7:33 thats J hope (real name Jung hoseok) he is the sunshine of BTS he is super positive and is a rapper but also can sing very well
2:16 and thats RM (real name Kim Namjoon) he is the leader of BTS and is known for his amazing motivational words and he is very hardworking
I liked your energy and positivity!! From an ARMY, I’m glad you enjoyed the album !!
One thing I wanna say is that BTS are a “pop” group but they definitely do every single genre. They actually started with hip-hop, which their first four albums are full of, until they expanded their sound, but until this day, their stuff still is based in hip-hop yet includes all elements. They’ve said in interviews that their music is a genre of its own, “The genre is BTS,” they’ve said, and it’s very true!!
This makes total sense! :) I gotta learn more of their music. I could for sure see different influences in this album and it’s peaked my curiosity.
@@ShelbyShuffleMode yeahhh22
@@ShelbyShuffleMode they are not like other kpop groups or any boybands to be known for only love relationship lyrics and teen pop their songs is never based on love only social problems, youth, female empowerment, equality, thats stuff and also they have variety of genres
You also miss a lot of the adlibs and left right panning in the music without decent headphones or speakers
@@Moonastronaut I know, I plan on listening again with headphones. I had to make due with my phone which wasn’t ideal 😞
The song are deeper. I also hope you read their lyrics to fully understand the song.
Their music is way more deeper than you could ever even guess...there are psychologists who have analyzed their lyrics and have even written books on it. Their message of self love is based primarily on Carl Jung's Jungian psychology, and even he has given an interview about it. People often don't pay much attention to the actual message and the lyrics, but if you do, you'll be overwhelmed. The symbolism hidden in their music videos are just, phenomenal. Every little thing has a meaning behind it, and it makes it more interesting. You'll never regret falling into their blackhole
Totally. There's no other.
@danni _05 no, not only Carl jung, but their message of self love is sort of inspired from his theory
map of the soul 7 includes carl’s ideas and such. not be lol
This isn't criticism, but just to be a bit more precise 💜: I believe that what A A means is that Map of the Soul is inspired by a book using Carl Jung's theories and the author has been giving interviews on the connection between BTS and his book. Carl Jung has not given any interviews... with him being long dead and all.
jung has been dead for decades lol
bts has broken several barriers for kpop and that of a boy band in general, so limiting them to kpop doesn't do enough justice. they constantly break out of genres and are hugely involved in their music which is not common for normal kpop groups. they are so much more than a kpop group. i hope that we can see them as normal artists rather than assigning a whole 'genre' to them.
Very nicely put :)
In the song BLUE AND GREY . the first and the last guy who sang was V (kim taehyung) . he is the one who wrote the lyrics for vocalists part and produced the song . (and the lyrics were basically what he felt when he was depressed in the past)
it was actually in english and he was going to include it in his own mixtape . but when the members heard the song they wanted to include it in the album . so he had to translate it from english to korean.
@@beubiueniwn8317 he told it was about the burnout he had in the beginning of year .. n writing abt it made him a lot better .. this is a masterpiece.. i cry every time with this
"burn out" is not the same as depression but yeah
@@chaimaez.h.4530 Ya but he himself said he dint want use the word depressed.. n its smart on his part ...coz its a diagnosis more than a symptom
@@dheerajag8660 idk why you're telling me this. I agreed with what you said. This is why I said he talked about burning out, and he never said he was depressed.
@@chaimaez.h.4530 Oh ok ok.. sorry i misunderstood
There are 3 rappers and 4 vocalists. The ones who’s voices you like are V and Jungkook. This album is fully self-made. The “innocent” voice is Jimin. The other members are Suga(rapper), he produced “Telepathy”, J-Hope (rapper) started off and produced “Dis-ease”, RM(rapper/leader) he has the deep rap voice and wrote lyrics for a lot of the songs, and Jin (singer) he’s got the higher slightly “nasal” voice on “Stay”.
MAP OF THE SOUL 7 is a masterpiece. Pls react to that album
I agree, it's one of my favorites for sure!
I also love love yourself Awnser and Wings. I mean i love all of them but those are the one i am most drawn too :)
Masterpiece is a bit of an exaggeration lol. Albums like Sgt Peppers by the Beatles are masterpieces.
@danni _05 Wasn’t the best selling album by Taylor Swift? And by it not being a masterpiece I mean we aren’t going to be singing it in 60 years like we do with the Beatles songs.
@danni _05 Which lyrics are so good lol because I’m reading through them now and they are all pretty fake deep. It’s not as spectacular as I thought it would be based on how you described it.
@@througheverything looks like you're kinda obsessed with videos about bts. Are you this miserable? lmao im seeing you on every comment. Get off the internet and make some friends i beg you
Thanks for the love on this video! Just a quick update: since I've posted this I've fallen down the BTS rabbit hole and have quickly gone from not knowing the names of the members to knowing all of their names. Where have I been the last 7 years?! I am a fan of their artistry, that's for sure.
WOW that's so quick lmaoo join the club, and that's exactly how I felt when I discovered them n the beginning of this year, like where have I been??!! Lol
haha welcome to army! you’re gonna be stuck here awhile lol
"If you listen to BTS songs without prejudice, you'll surely love it." -SUGA, BTS
What makes BTS beyond Kpop?
They don't rely on their hefty dance moves nor aesthetic MVs with visually stimulating concepts as what most Kpop bands do every single time to seduce their fans. BTS talks about societal problems, rigid school systems, conflicts between generations, mental problems, self-love, youth, losing innocence, and temptations the situation that the whole Kpop community is trying to avoid. Before I became a BTS stan I was already into Kpop, because something flashy and colorful was new to me but as I dug deep into the genre I kept on looking for more and I didn't know what quality I was looking for, then BTS came and showed me sincerity. BTS broke the monopoly of elite companies in Kpop, their humble background is just the icing on the cake.
You need lyrics to get the full experience! With BTS, the song reaction is not complete without lyrics! Because they sing to spread positivity and message that world needs! BE in particular is an album addressing the pandemic.
Doolset is a very good source to check out lyrics!
bts literally change genres every album so they don’t really have a sound kajsksj
I’ve definitely learned that now! Lol
@@ShelbyShuffleMode =0)
Btw most ppl don't consider BTS as kpop. If you listen to their discography, you'll realize that they're very different from kpop groups and even boybands in general . They basically take the best of the Korean music and the best western music to make their own "bts-esque" music. So good.
One thing you need to realize with BTS is that they like to experiment with sounds so you’ll find cross genre sounding songs. They help produce their own songs especially with the writing as majority of their songs are natural expressions of what they’re feeling/experiencing/expressing relating to their lives with the hopes that each message of their songs can relate to their listeners. The reason why they didn’t really stick to one genre (aside from the fact that kpop sounds usually also is a cross between hiphop-edm-rnb) is that they got criticized for debuting as a hiphop group, underground rappers criticized 2 members who used to be underground rappers for joining an idol group (boy band) and not “resisting temptation” because in Korea idol songs (kpop songs) and idol industry (kpop) are looked down on. They really started experimenting around their HYYH era where they shockingly came out with fresh sounds compared from their past albums. All in all, if you have a preferred genre I guarantee you you can find a specific BTS song you will like :)
I love when artists mix genres because I listen to a LOT of music. So the fact they do that, is exactly what I like most 😊
@@ShelbyShuffleMode sweet. Hope u give them more of a listen. =0)
When it comes to BTS their lyrics are top tier, something so relatable, full of emotions and poetic even. When you listen to them again PLEASE LOOK AT THE LYRICS as well. You are missing a lot without them.
This is why we say bts is not kpop. When we think of kpop its all poppy but bts is sooo different.. not your typical boyband. This album was self produced.. all the members were in producing and composing of this album.
Just so you know, there’s a lot of genre mashing in kpop, too. It’s not actually all poppy.
the guy which voice you liked is taehyung. he has one of widest vocal ranges in the whole kpop. Taehyung also becomes the first kpop baritone legend :) btw he produced and composed blue and grey
First, I Wonder whether you’ve listened to BLACK SWAN? That song would represent their mature sound, just prior to this album. Do watch the live performance (late late show with James Corden, or the MV). You should also check out the ORCHESTRAL version of the song they made for the ART FILM. The song is built around this quote by Martha Graham, “The dancer dies twice, the first time when he stops dancing.” By then, you will realise that BTS is NOT your typical k-pop group.
Secondly, since you came to know them via Dynamite, which is their first song totally in English, you would be missing out on one of their remarkable strengths as lyricists. To sample what I mean, check out FAKE LOVE MV, paying attention to the lyrics subs.
Thirdly, if you haven’t already, check out their NPR tiny desk concert, and you will hear their sound with a LIVE BAND: 3 songs back to back, introducing you to 2 of their classics, Save Me and Spring Day.
BTW they write and produce most of their songs and this album was entirely self-produced, written and directed by the group. Of course, they collaborated with other producers and mixers but this project was one of the more heavily self-directed ones.
"oh, get it...member of bts i don't know" cracked me up lol.thank you for your reaction, it's always nice to see people pleasantly surprised about their music:)
Kpop is not pop. It’s just a way used by western media to block songs from other countries get into mainstream music. And that’s why there is Latin music, kpop, etc. but not US music or UK music. Just because the music came from Korea, it is not necessarily pop! There are all genres of groups that are broadly defined as kpop by the western media. BTS in particular has no genre, they do it all!
Yass louder for the people in the back... Speaking facts!💜💜💜
Thank you, please educate so many of those out there who are clueless! 💜💜💜
No lol, the reason we don’t call it US and UK music is because both are in English, whereas the others aren’t, which make them different.
Kpop literally stands for Korean pop and the ones who categorise it as kpop are Koreans themselves, not Western media. The term has existed for a long time, it came after the term 'jpop'. Most kpop uses elements from different genres like BTS but its still pop music.
@@througheverything I don’t agree. A hip hop song, no matter the language should be called a hip hop song. Either all songs should be named based on language or all songs should be named based on sound. I don’t see why songs in English should have multiple genres, while others won’t.
Fun Fact: This album was self-directed meaning all of the members had a hand in the production, direction and promotion of the album. At least one member was also credited on each song!
16:14 BTS is not "starting" to mature their pop sound, they've always evolve since their first album debut in 2014, and keeps evolving in each comeback, and not just evolving but also changing, experimenting, and they NOT keep stuck or attached to one genre or one formula. They've been mature since day one when it comes to music, altough they were just teenagers, their music was always very consistent, with strong messages and personality, and also it always had their touch in it, be it through writing, composing or producing, they were always involved in the process of making the songs
jimin’s got another one
He indeed did💜
"You really like the music" 😂 that's a good start - when you were looking for Kpop, this album couldn't be further from the typical idea of that. I suggest to watch CRASH course BTS 2020. It has a great musical overview and I'm 1000% certain you will find great MUSIC along the way. Have fun!
The innocent sweet high pitched voice you liked is jimin , but let me tell you, this innocence will fade away once you listen to his solo " filter " and watch its performance .
Also check out his solos " lie" " serendipity " " promise "
And the deep toned voice in the beginning of blue and grey is V and he is jimin's soulmate . You cab hear them sing together in " friends " which is the cutest song ever . Also check his solos " scenery " " inner child" " winter bear "
BE album is like a roller coaster ride of emotions. BTS is so versatile that they can do any type of music. Thank you for giving their music a chance. 'Love BE so much.
3:55 Naahhh gurl......Jimin ain’t innocent....lemme tell you this man is dangerous **whispers** very dangerous.....ok enough scaring i loved the reaction please also react to the life goes on mv its ✨*beautiful*✨
Jimin "innocent" 🤣🤣🤣 oh the duality!
She didn't see him dance that's why 😉
😂😂😂😂 really None Of The BTS members Are "innocent" i mean Jungkooks My time Performance is A perfectly Example...😂😂😂
Ikr!!!!
There are 7 members in the group. 4 vocalist and 3 rappers. Thank u for listening to them! They do many genre in music. Check out more!
dropping in to say jimin would be very happy to know the way you described his voice! that’s his goal
I hope you make another reaction to the album while reading the lyrics because it will literally hit you. Listening to BTS songs while reading the lyrics is really a must! Glad you tried them, they all participated in producing and writing the lyrics of this album (mostly all of their songs are credited with the members from lyrics and producing but this one is really a BTS self album)
I love this reaction!! As an ARMY I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it and I hope you listen to them more, I know it can be overwhelming since there’s a whole lot of music and a whole lot to the group so just take your time, but I’d definitely recommend the lyrics!! BE is definitely a great start because it really showcases a lot of their different styles!! Hope to see more in the future!
At 6:25 when you asked who was singing, his name is V...He has the deepest voice in the group when it comes to vocals...Also I think you should check out the lyrics to the songs, I think you’d like it and connect to it better💜💜
BTS have 3 principal lines (rap line, vocal line and dance line). In the rap line we have RM (leader), Suga and J-Hope. In the vocal line we have Jin (oldest), Jimin, V and Jungkook (main vocal). In the dance line we have Jimin, J-Hope (both main dancers), Jungkook and V. In many albums we have 2 subunits songs (One song of the rappers and one song of the vocalist) but in this album F.T.M.R is a 2 vocals and 2 rappers song, Stay is a 2 vocals and 1 rapper song
definitely check out the lyrics for this album, their lyrics are always so personal and meaningful. This album's message was geared towards the global pandemic and the mental struggles many of us encountered/encountering during it. The central message is that Life will go on we have to remember to pick ourselves up so we can get through it. you can find lyric translations to all the songs on genius :) i honestly cried to Blue & Grey...
But fun fact! This was a heavily self directed album! although they members have written/composed & produced many songs in previous projects this is their brain child.
Blue & Grey was composed and mainly produced by the member called V (vocalist). V was also the photo visual project manager. he had a heavy hand in the promotional concept photos for this album.
Telepathy was mainly produced by SUGA (rapper). He was also involved in the production of the physical Album Jacket. The album not only contains the CD but also photobooks of concept photoshoots and other materials for the ARMY.
Dis-ease was mainly produced by Jhope (rapper). He also took on the main choreographer role. Traditionally his role in the group is Main Dancer.
Stay was mainly produced by Jungkook(vocalist). He is also the Video Project manager and is the director of Life Goes On music video.
Jin and Jimin (Both vocalists) were both the general Music Production Manager
RM's (rapper) had the general producer role and was involved in the production every song except dynamite.
It was really cool seeing you just vibe to each song, i had some of your same reactions when I first heard the album! lol, also everyone in the comments probably told u already, but if u wanna check out any of their others albums (i recommend u any from the The Most Beautiful Moment In Life series, Dark & Wild or Love Yourself: Tear!!) you could watch the translated lyric videos if u wanna understand better each song, it's cool if u keep this format tho, feels really fresh and kind of shows how with music u don't have to understand the language to enjoy it :]
6:24 that was V singing and he composed and wrote the song
6:32 is JK or jungkook
BTS songs have deep messages and almost all are inter connected. BTS is not your typical run of the mill boy band. I suggest you better dig deeper into their songs and mv's. This artists are on a different level that no other group had achieved.
love your reaction. now I'm wishing you react to MONO, it is like an album but called a playlist created by RM, the leader of BTS. the songs and the whole vibe is so good. :)
The bridge of Dis-ease is everything! 🙌🏻
BTS transcendent the 🏷 label of kpop ... bts is a genre itself .. the more you listen 🎧 you can see it yourself
bts has many different styles of music! They've dabbled in everything from rap, RnB, edm, pop, rock,etc. so they quite literally have something for everyone!
The reason BTS is so popular is because of their lyrics and messages, they are very personal and authentic, talking about mental health, politics, bullying, self esteem, growing up, etc. (I actually wrote a whole thesis for my senior year research paper on their lyrical messaging). Their biggest draw is their music and lyrics, but they also have super amazing live performances and music videos.
They actually have a running cinematic storyline running through many of their videos that fans are still trying to piece together
References to political events, literature, art, philosophy, etc can also be found in their music and videos.
If you'd like something in that vein Id recommend the music video for "Spring Day" as well as the explanation video for it. Spring Day is actually protest art and was released in a pretty tumultuous time in Korean Politics so some fans at the time were even worried BTS would be blacklisted for releasing that video. Then the Korean president was impeached and replaced with the current one (president Moon) who loves bts which is kind of a cool fun fact.
yeah,, they're definitely not shy about speaking up for what they believe in during times of distress when it could get them backlash but that's what I love them for.
In the same vein of political music I'd also recommend Baepsae and the explanation video from DKDKTV, and spinebreaker which also has an explanation video by DKDKTV .
Both Beaspsae and Spinebreaker about socio-economics and the generational wealth gap between the old and young. Another song similar is GOGO which is a political satire about how society and capitalism creates an environment in which teens and young adults are consumed by consumerism, from the perspective of those teens and young adults.
BTS's LYRICISM tends to be really thought out a beautiful. They create the most expressive metaphors for fear and loneliness, of looking into the mirror and not recognizing yourself, they're some of the more in-depth lyricists in both the western and eastern music industry right now. Not many artists are willing to get as personal as to explain to the audience their feelings of despair and sadness,
“my determined ambition sharpened my sword every day, but it gets dulled by my irresistible greed . . . ripped by reality, my crimson blood gets shed, I didn’t think my greed would become a horn that calls upon hell” (“Boy Meets Evil”, BTS)
"The world is another name for despair, my height is another diameter of the earth, I carry happiness and worries . . . I want to be free, I want to be free from freedom because now I am happy, yet unhappy” (“Reflection”, BTS).
whoo got a little heavy there MOVING ON.
BTS also have some videos with AMAZING cinematography, I'd recommend Fake Love, Idol, Blood Sweat & tears
Did I mention bts also has a hand in writing, producing, and composing all their music? They do, you can even check the writing credits on KOMCA
also calling them kpop is a bit ,, how do i say this? inaccurate. They are a korean group, but honestly their music has evolved outside of the typical "genre" of kpop by so much and they've broken so many molds of the kpop industry that many people don't consider them kpop, especially in Korea where the general population consider them as breaking the kpop/idol stereotype.
That being said, BTS fans aka ARMY usually do not consider themselves kpop fans, as most army have little to no interest in other groups outside of BTS.
"kpop has a formula, BTS does not"
BTS's treatment from by kpop industry was so bad, BTS have been trying to separate themselves from it for the last couple years,
only a little bit ago, one of the members said in an interview that they dont consider their genre as kpop and rather "their genre is BTS"
hope the information presented here was helpful and informing abt bts and the kpop industry, and sorry for this essay as a comment, but I hope this information will inform future bts reactions and helped you understand bts as a unique musical phenomenon and not just "a K-pop boyband" because they are so much more than that to to many people :)
I really like your vibe, I hope you do more bts reactions in the future (with lyrics!)
Hi, some things about this boys.
*Bts Is south Korean group, this days people prefer don't mix them with kpop.
Kpop ist a genre and bts are know for their great repertoire of genres.
Kpop is an industry in Korea, and not all singers/rappers/musicians in Korea are "kpop"
1. They are 7, 4 vocalist, 3 rappers (2 underground rappers) all dancers
2. Bts compose and produce in all their albums, so is very personal, they talk about mental health, politics, society, their fans, self love, etc
3. They have a story behind their videos so is difficult to new people understand, we (the armys) used to read a books and study set, philosophy, psychology and mythology to understand. Their last album for example was "map of the soul: 7" and is inspired by the psychologist book the map of the soul by Murray.
4. The army love them because they are good people who through a lot of bad things to be where they are now, and even being famous they stay humble.
5. They have a lot of genres but their base is very hiphop / rap. Also you can find subtitles in every possible language thanks to the fans, u only need to search with the name of the song or Activate cc.
**Bts always present themselves as a Korean group, and always said they don't want to be labeled in a genre or industry. The fans also do not want to be mixed with kpopers, (most of us aren't kpop fans) we don't have the same ideals.
The only person who didn’t cry their eyes out and actually smiled during Blue & Grey. 🤣
Fly to my room is the type of music for u to sit alone in front of the fireplace, having a wine during the night; relax, reflect or read a little, it's up to you😁
My favorite song of BE is Dis-ease, I'm not a fan of hip hop but this music is really good
Your smile is beautiful. It at least brighten my day a bit 💜
That’s so kind, thank you!
I really want you to react to performances cuz the dance , the live vocals and the stage presence is what makes a great song even better
Literally anytime I hear Dis-ease I am instantly like Yep J-hope write this song just the way it started it’s just the way Hobi writes his songs!! I love it so much!!why are there albums always so good 😭😭💜💜💜
Lyricsm is what makes BTS stands out and become the music icon that we know today so it's a must when it comes to their music, BTS members mostly play a main role in the writing process especially with this album
Hope u go look it up even just off cam, they talk abt the situation that BTS themselves and each one of us are dealing at the moment, the isolation pandemic
Hi! I don't know if anyone managed it yet but the one you heard singing at 6:22 is Taehyung he is known as bts' barotone (don't know if I spelled correctly) he is really into jazz. The guy you mentioned after that is Jungkook he's the power vocal, our vocal king. Also the innocent voice you mentioned is Jimin he has quite a unique tone to his voice sometimes he's even mistaken as a girl for how high his voice sometimes get. I'm really happy seeing your open-minded approach and your positive comments! also sorry if we overwhelm you with our enthusiasm, we tend to jump onto people when we think they could possibly really like our boys so I hope we don't scare you away. Thank you for your reaction, I as an army really appreciate it
Awwweee. It's so cool to see you go through the motions for the first time and enjoying it. I remember my first time. :') Dynamite for me is actually the least 'BTS-sounding' song but a very welcome one.
i enjoyed watching your reaction thank you for reacting to their album 💜
so happy you enjoyed them :) Bts has a very large discography since they have been around for a while, and they have experimented with _a lot_ of genres (all amazing). They are very involved with their craft, specially in this comeback where it was pretty much all self produced: the songs, promotional pictures, concept, music video (the youngest member Jungkook directed it).
people you pointed out through the video:
3:57 "innocent" voice is Jimin, his tone is trully unique and beautiful, very sweet sounding
6:25 this is V, his voice has a very smokey deep quality to it (idk if it makes sence lol), very soulful and beautiful
6:31 and this is Jungkook, he is the lead vocalist of the group and just tends to excel at anything he puts his mind into overall. his voice is very breathy and also very beautiful
to answer your question, there are three rappers in the group (and four vocalists). I highly encourage you to watch more of them, you'll be even more shocked haha, this is just a fraction of their talent. You should also read the lyrics and watch some of their music videos, they think of every detail (they care a lot for their art) so it is all very high quality and worth checking out :)
I was so curious to see your reaction to Telepathy and Dis-ease, my personal two faves. And you did not disappoint! Fun fact someone might or might not have mentioned: Telepathy, Dis-ease and Stay are each mainly produced by 3 different members (Telepathy - Suga, Dis-ease - JHope, Stay - Jungkook). Each of the 7 members are also credited in the whole album at least once for different parts (producing, composing, lyrics).
If you want to have some eye-candy performance wise, there were two pretty big award shows in Korea last week (MMA and MAMA), where they performed Dynamite and other songs (= Life Goes On, ON) and it was absolutely glorious.
Happy listening!
The one you said “tone sounds very innocent” is Jimin lead singer and main dancer in BTS. If u dive more into BTS you’ll see Jimin ain’t that innocent. Jimin is king of duality. He is my ultimate bias in kpop. Jimin has my favorite voice in the world. His voice is so beautiful, angelic, soft, smooth, and soothing but he can also have an attractive sexy tone. His voice pops out so much. Overall I love them all. All their voices complement each other.
I laughed my ass off when she said Jimin sounded innocent 🌚. But like I don't blame her though, I mean have you seen this mans duality He goes from 🥺🤗🥰 to 😜🥵🤤.
@@pqskqpqks I keep seeing this comment about Jimin and I am beyond curious what you all mean 😂
@@ShelbyShuffleMode See Jimin solo "Serendipity" MV and live performance.
@@ShelbyShuffleMode you should watch jimin solo singing live compilations youll get mind blown
@@ShelbyShuffleMode u dont wanna know 😳
"Get it..member of BTS"...had me laughing.
😅😅😅
By the way that was Jimin if you’re still wondering. And since you think he is innocent i think you should react to his ‘filter’ live performance because it will change your mind 😂
@@danamo_0416 she's a baby ARMY😂 she will soon find out how dangerous Jimin is...like...DANGEROUS...
I loved your reaction! You are so cute, and I couldn't help but smile and dance around with you. Thank you for giving the album a listen!
Great reaction! Im happy you enjoyed this album and appreciate their voices and diversity. Personally this album really made me cry when looking at the lyrics and meaning of the album. Bts wanted to give us comfort and happiness with this album especially during the covid pandemic. They're talking about the struggles and sadness they go through by not being able to see us(fans) its really sweet of them! Be may referes to the covid pandemic but it mainly talks about life struggles everyone gets, burnouts, mental breakdown and how we should just go with it and try to make the best out of it and appreciate the good things that we still experience (life goes on haha) Anyways Be really helps me through hard times as their lyrics and stories genuinely relates to anyone who is struggling right now. Its the fact that they are personally experiencing this that makes their message really special, its not just this and that for marketing but their genuine feelings theyre expressing and trying to comfort us with it. They mainly produced this album themselves (as well as the mv of life goes on was directed by jungkook) and you can definitely see that as how emotional this album is but also motivating. I hope it makes sense what im saying here but basically bts is really precious for genuinely caring so much for us and their humbleness to always credit the fans love and support that made them being able to heal from their struggles and problems. Bts is known for them trying to spread positivity and hope through their music and you can see they do it well and really affected us listeners, seeing how successful they are now and the amount of support they receive. They also always want to show their love and appreciation to army by writing songs about them and trying to help us as well as mentioning us. Anyways if you want more song suggestions their entire love yourself era is very good. There are three albums for this : Love yourself: her, love yourself: tear, love yourself: answer. They all have special meanings. If you go through all of these albums you see its a journey to us loving ourselves which is really interesting. Their album wings is really good too (personally one of my favourite albums so far), after that the hyyh trilogy albums. This is comepletely different from lys. Their songs in there are very soft, diverse, rock, rnb indie type rather than pop-ish,diverse. Its hard to explain the story since its really ALOT but it shows us about the boys coping with loss, struggles, death and the meaning of life. This leads to the love yourself era as it already implies with the message but this era shows a dark and sad side of the struggles while lys era giving us hope and motivation if you understand, anyways im hoping you would like to take a listen to these im looking forward it!
The member you kept saying you liked the tone was V / Taehyung. Check put some of his solo songs too. He has one called Sweet Night that was part of an OST for Itaewon Class. Its all in English. Singularity is a great song as well, it has neo soul vibes.
Every album is so different when it comes to BTS, so I hope you can enjoy some of their older music as well as some of their solo works! I would recommend the video BTS crash-course 2020 by Suga and Spice as that video has a pretty good breakdown of the eras of BTS’ music over the past 7 years and may help you determine where you want to go next. My personal suggestion would be the album “WINGS” as that was the first time they had solo songs for all 7 members on the album that really represent either the members themselves (example: Yoongi’s “First Love” about music) or their character in the storyline of their music videos (example: Taehyung’s “Stigma”). I think it’s a good starting off point since it gives you insight into how different each members style is, so it may help you understand how those styles come together in the entire group/how they combine in sub-unit songs (songs with a few members but not all seven).
Nice reaction! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I love all the album, it is so enjoyable! ☺️
Awww u look like so much fun! Thanks for your reaction I'm glad you enjoyed the album. Bts isn't really a one genre group and not quite the best group to get a good understanding of the kpop sound. You'll find that the top 5 groups in the industry don't always follow the typical kpop sound. BTS in particular as the top bird don't follow it at all. They have music that's solid kpop of course but most of the time they're off just doing their own thing or what they call 'BTS genre'.
well actually my most favorite album was wings being a army since 2013 and now BE is slowly replacing wings album 😭 but u should definitely try wings album and love yourself : tear album
Your reactions are so animated and cute 😭 I feel like you really genuinely love music
I really do! And this album was a pleasant surprise in a great way!
great first reaction to bts omggg yeah bts have been around since 2013 so there’s a lot to their sound/style and how it’s changed over the years, mostly tied to how they started off as a hiphop group haha and then progressed from there they have a lottttt of music. I feel
Like most ppl listening to their most recent 2019-onward stuff for the first time only have the tip of the iceberg 😭
I'm glad you're enjoying the album! BTS are their own genre. 😁 If you ever want to dive deeper, their lyrics are amazing, soothing, uplifting and beautiful and their musical variety will blow your mind. They have a team of 3 rapper and 4 vocalists who each have their own styles and they merge it in such unexpected ways!
As a baby army myself i really like ur reaction 😃
I was so surprised when digging more about their musics. They have many genres and their lyrics are so damn good!
I reccomend you these videos:
- ON (kinetic manifesto film and live performance at Grand Central)
- Black Swan (mv and live performance)
- Mic Drop feat Steve Aoki
- Spring Day
- Outro : Tear (live performance by rapper: RM, Suga and J-hope), there is no official mv for this song, but i think this is my fave song of BTS. This song is written by Suga to the member when they almost disbanded the group in early 2018 (this is the saddes part)
- Interlude : Shadow (by Suga)
Hope you'll enjoy those videos 😄
You'll love their songs like paradise, tomorrow, love myself, epiphany,21st century girls,so what, attack on bangtan,fun boys,jump, Pied Piper.etc...pls watch The rise of bangtan docu-series
Man, I really had a good laugh with ur final comments on the album, l mean, BTS is indeed still experimenting with new sounds and genres, but that's just how their music is. It's not fair to call their music 'pop' or think about them while thinking about past popular boy bands. You will be so surprised by their discography, my friend, and their lyrics, of course.
BTS have amazing lyricists, the members themselves lmao, so I strongly recommend reading translations.
For BE, BTS wanted to comfort their fans 'Army' with an album that is healing so the songs here progress from sad and longing to happy and cheerful, that makes sense, right? 'Life goes on' is the single with an MV for a reason and the album conveys that message perfectly.
It was a nice video! I enjoyed ur reaction, I hope to see u doing more BTS reactions tho~
the thing about bts is, their lyrics are always beautiful and relatable,
especially in this album,
i hope you could read the lyrics on your free time 💜
and if you have a plan to do album listening party by bts like this again please listen to love yourself answer
BTS are known for their fiery performances, dance synchronization and moving lyrics. They are loved by many because of the message they want to impart through music.
To react to their RM, the leader of BTS and producer of many of their song said that people should look the meaning of the lyrics.
Also the rapper you seemed to react to the most is SUGA aka Min Yoongi he has solo stuff under the name Agust D
I love this reaction, your facial expression is DYNAMITE girl!!
The smooth deep voiced singer is Taehyung (V), The member with the "innocent" (😂😭) voice is Jimin. The one who's voice is a clear soft tenor (the one who opens dynamite) is Jungkook. The one with the light tenor with a slight nasal tinge is Jin.
It was nice to see you enjoying the album! I love to listen through their albums first and then dive into the lyrics (Genius.com has English translations). They literally have a song for everyone and delve into many genres, but still remain themselves. This album was written to express the varying emotions they've felt whilst in quarantine and not being able to perform for their fans this year. It really gets better with every listen for me. Oh and there's 3 rappers and 4 vocalists btw!
For song recommendations: Black Swan, Louder than Bombs, ON, HOME and Fake Love. (You can turn on the CC button for English subtitles on their music videos). Thanks for the video!
bts albums always give me whiplash coz of the amount of different genres they use for their songs
Just so you know, the choreography for Dynamite is one of their easiest ;) A lot of their other choreos are hard and complicated
i just wanted to comment that you are such a breath of fresh air 😊 thank you for being so open minded !!
Thanks for doing this reaction, glad you enjoyed it! Please also react to their previous albums!
Great reaction! You definitely need to look into the lyrics because they will further transform the way you see BTS as artists.
BTS is very versatile. Usually, they have intense topics and tracks in their albums. In a recently released interview, RM has mentioned that their goal and focus for the BE album is to be more "healing" and chill so there's no intensity in the album
Im so glad you like it! You need the lyrics for sure though! :) You should listen to Boy With Luv, Fake Love, Idol, Black Swan, Spring Day, On, Outro: Tear, Don't Leave Me, and Save Me
loved your reaction! hope you continue!
Thank's for your positivity 💜
Bts makes this song 0-10 they're literally being anything like the producer, composer for this album.
If you want to, can you listen to other bts album.. Bts album literally filled with great song. I suggest the Love Yourself series.
Love yourself her, LY Tear, LY Answer. It's the album with the storyline about finding love then loving ourselves.. And bts lyrics is so deep about mental health, love yourself, positivity, etc.
Sorry if I'm being too hyper lol,
I love how you call Jimin "innocent voice" it's so accurate 😂
Also there are 3 rappers!
And BTS is a VERY experimental group, they've done probably every genre you can think of.
@@shuunknown lmao no you didn't-
Joon wanted us to forget he ever did that, so let's move on...
@@shuunknown Can we stop making jokes about that 😕
@@Ariadne4 can i know where he said that? Where can i find it?
@@ismotjahan6583 AHAHAH we don't talk about it 😂 it's a rap monster song "expensive girl"
@@ayeshamoeen3972 i know the song and context...i wanted to know where he told us to forget about those
I really appreciate ur hard work Shelby keep going up
Waiting for kissland reaction.
It’s live!
really enjoyed watching you vibe to BE!
BTS do so many genres, songs like Blue&Grey, Lie, Mic Drop, So what, UGH! and Boy with luv sound like totally different artists produced them, but it's all BTS :D they dont sound like typical kpop either, they've long grown past that. As many people have suggested, checking out lyrics is such a treat and makes appreciate the songs much more (go to genius or doolsetbangtan, lyric videos on youtube suck really bad) :)
BTS are known for their lyrics
Skit is just them talking😂. They are talking about how they felt when dynamite debuted #1 on BH100
I hope you will look at more of their music! I would love to see an album review for their Map of the Soul 7.
I'll reiterate what some others have said though....they are particularly well known for their lyricism so I really encourage you to look at an English translation of their lyrics.
I stumbled upon your reaction,. I am happy that you enjoyed the album.
This is a special album, 1st time produced by all 7 members, from scratch to finished.
If you go through their previous albums, you will see mostly are written by the rap line (RM, Suga and J-Hope), with few song written by the vocal line. But mostly are produced by their team of producers who worked with them since debut.
If you start from the beginning, you will see how much they have improved in their music production.
BTS are well know as lyricists, their songs may seem talking about love but at the same time have other meanings and messages, not about love.
BTS are very diverse, if you search for other groups, you will find yourself figuring out the gerne of each group, but with BTS, you will never know what they put out next.
I became ARMY during Love Yourself era, that is the album I love dearly.
But a lot of armys became ARMY during The Most Beautiful Moment in Life era and Wing era, both of those albums are beautiful too. Very different from BE.
Also this year they dropped Map of the Soul 7 album, that album also have high quality songs.
Their earliest debut songs are all hip hop, mostly about the feeling of you.g people towards the real world at that time.
If you search their earliest songs, you will never believe those 7 kids are the same 7 men you see right now.
BTS can definitely do BIG and INTENSE, but this album was made with the purpose of remembrance and relativity rather than big impact. They wanted to tell us how these times have affected them just like everyone else in the world, and to remind us that it won't always be like this, it will get better. The title track explains the purpose exceptionally well. Life goes on, and you can even hear it as the album goes on, the first half of the album feels mellow but hopeful, and toward the latter half it picks up, signaling a change for the better that is bound to come eventually. Then the last song closes off the album perfectly, reminding us that while the world might change, the bond between us won't, no matter how long we're kept apart.
I love this reaction, they really write a good lyrics u should look for it later, and people think bts are a pop group, because it's kpop, bit it's not really like this most of their songs are not pop✌️✌️
