AMERICAN RAPPER REACTS TO- BTS HARDSHIPS 2013-2021 | Racism, mistreatment, accusations + more 

Namjoon has no ego. He is always about learning more and growing. hes what we all should be. the bigger the ego the smaller the mind.

As someone with a Masters in Marriage & Family Therapy, I am so thrilled at how incredibly kind and insightful you are about everything. Out of all the reactors I have listened to you guys really dig deep and understand what so many don't. Much love to you💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

It continues. Every time BTS has set a new Billboard record, Billboard has tweaked the rules.

Those people use the word Misogynistic without knowing what it is.... BTS never hated on any women.... War Of Hormones is a good song where they sing about how women are beautiful and so is all of their songs

I love when people react to these videos because they can understand BTS' story on a deeper level

BTS is the best example of *To all the doors that closed on me I'm coming back to buy the building* Always be proud army 💪💜💜💜💜♾️

About the military exemption controversy... I think it needs some clarification. The members of BTS never wanted to be exempted, and their company did NOT sign the petition for a special exemption. But the other companies used them as a reason to get exemptions for THEIR artists. It got weirder after that. Government officials also decided to fight FOR exemptions for BTS, even though they NEVER asked for that. But despite this, a new law was passed granting K-pop stars who fit certain criteria to delay enlistment an extra two years. The criteria were tailor-made so that almost nobody except BTS qualified. It was nicknamed "The BTS Law". Remember, they NEVER asked for this. And then, it got even weirder. Officials of the Ministry of Culture wanted to go even further, and they tried to get BTS exempted from active duty service altogether. A lot of BTS fans were really excited about this, even though the members themselves WANTED to serve. A lot of us did not realize something very important. Exemption from active duty is NOT an exemption from the military... It's an even longer commitment. Active duty service is 18 months. "Exemption" means a TRANSFER to a special program. They would still have to go to basic training. And after that, they would basically be working for the Ministry of Culture. To keep it simple, they would have to perform or appear at least once a month, wherever the officials tell them to. For free. For 34 months. Yes, they could live at home. But there is no way they could go on tour if they had to be in South Korea every month to sing at some diplomat's kid's birthday party or whatever. They said no thanks to that. Currently, Jin and j-hope are serving. Eventually they will all go, and be back as a whole group in summer 2025. We are very proud of them!

Btw as far as the cancellation of concerts due to death threats, BTS were still a small group at that time (around 2014/15).

“That’s Jimin! Stop playing with my boy Jimin!” Haha you ready to defend the boys was wholesome!

people were wrongly offended by his lyrics. war of hormone was a song about horny teenage boys saying how amazing women are and was no misogynistic at all. but some people purposely expressed outrage just because they look for any little thing to rip bts apart for. being the amazing man namjoon is he addressed it as he felt so bad for offending anyone when that wasn't his intention at all and he always grows and learns he is an amazing and intelligent person.

Another one I couldn't wait to get to you ♡ the battles they fought to get to the top (and are still fighting even tho they there) are crazy but nothing good comes easy which is why their struggle made them go on to became the best to ever to ever do it🥺 like I told you now you see why they have the ARMY they do that is so strong & soooo very protective of them 💜 #BTS_OT7

the cartoon version of them was really. hurtful. it was the height of asian hate.. there were several asian elderly people beat up on the street during the pandemic. the crime is insane and I live in san francisco. im chinese and i felt so scared to leave my house

BTS had to go through so much hate and discrimination from the very day they decided to create music together. There have been countless attempts to diminish their hard work and kindness. Each one of them deserve the biggest apology. All they have wanted to do is create music that can bring us all together and they have succeeded. Each member went through their own struggles and together they kept going forward with their head held high. It’s honestly so heartbreaking to see the amount of hate & discrimination they received for absolutely nothing. Almost 10 years since they debuted and their personality, hard work and dedication hasn’t wavered at all. I am so proud to have come across them in this lifetime as they will forever be ONE OF A KIND. 🥹💜

Thank you young men for the respect and kindness you always show BTS and us Army. May your kindness come back to youvTen fold. 🙏🕊🙏🕊🙏🕊💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜❤️

Just wanted to add that BTS was not part of the petition to be excused for military enlistment. They have always stood by the fact that they would serve whenever called up. It was other K-Pop groups and idols who tried to use BTS as a means to get out of military enlistment. As of date, 2 of the members, Jin and J-Hope are already enlisted, and it's speculated that RM is next. They are all to start their enlistment between now and the end of the year in order to be reunited in 2025 as a whole once more.

Knowing these hardships puts a lot of perspective on how they manage to still put out quality music/performances, and go out of their way to make ARMY smile with silly content like the Run episodes.

This video is good but XCeleste just scratch the surface, the reality was way more harsh than that. The amount of hate that BTS are receiving compared to other groups is ridiculous and a lot of reactors or new army are obsess about the question : "what has BTS done to deserve all those hates?" . They've always been very humble, down to earth and respectful towards others. It's difficult to understand without knowing the context. The "Big 3" are the 3 big entertainment compagnies in South Korea, : JYP , SM Entertainment, YG. They dominated the Kpop industry (Idol system) since 20 years, they have not only the money, but the power and the connection with all the entertainment média, radio (payola system) , and TV show (Kpop is born with TV show, they are very important). Every Kpop group have to work hard to succeed, and Kpop industry is very compétitive, but the groups who belongs to the Big 3 have what is called "the Big 3 privileges" : large media cover, daily radio play, invitation in ALL the TV shows. It's help a lot ! So during years and years, only the Big 3 groups wins awards on Korean or Asian Award Show ... until BTS. From a business point of view, Koream culture is hierarchal and strict adherence to this hierarchy is mandatory for everyone. For a small unknown company (Bih Hit) with ragtag idols (BTS) to dare to compete with the big guns is near blasphemy; so every effort is taken to ensure this system is not disrupted. That's just how things work. BTS and Big Hit was différent since the pre début. They don't have money, they don't have connections, they don't have power. Just their talents and raw potential, their hard word, dédication to their fan base, and ... freedom. Big Hit let the boys have control over music (and it's NOT a common thing in the Kpop industry at all ) , express their opinions, allowed them to talk about issues that many in SK society wouldn't, like mental health, school pressure, disparity in societal classes and so on. This mindset, added to the lack of fund and connections, made them an anomaly in the Kpop Industry. Their authenticity and their passion attracted fans , not only in Korea but worldwide. They begin to grow... so the Big 3, who at first, look down on BTS, tried to buy them, fail and so tried to block BTS from broadcasts and TV promotions. BTS being creative, went around the establishment and develop their own shows, their own media platform ( Weverse) and used youtube to subvert the industry. Which made people in the industry mad so they tried to sabotage them through made up scandals and accusations, with the active help of their own groups fandoms. BTS went through a lot of hardships, and Army fandom too, (that's why the bond between Army and BTS is so strong) but they succeed way more than anybody can predicted. They responding to the hate with their hard work and talent. But even now they still don't get the media coverage they diserved in their own country, because even if their Compagny Hybe (formely Big Hit) is one of he richest now, the Big 3 still have the power. You should react to a Boracity magazine video "Why the music industry is terrified of BTS", it's very informative They were so often disrespected on TV Show when they were young (most of them were not adult at this time ! you can see Jungkook , he was just a kid ! ) , that they stop Korean TV show for years, and got their own reality show with Run BTS. It's hard to see these old video.

Hobi quit the internet for a year because when he did a live, people just asked about the other members. Such disrespect

I think it is helpful when you view BTS as the biggest group in the world to recognize that was not the case in the mid-2010's. Things such as death threats and internet smears were not on a group with a large following no matter how dedicated a much less developed ARMY showed loyalty and protection. They played arenas not stadiums. I believe their first stadium showcase was as in 2017 as a supporting group to Seo Taiji and the Boys on their 25th anniversary. You would certainly enjoy Classroom Idea and Come Back Home from that concert. As to headlines, the main attack group was a fan base for a large corporation concept group which debuted a year earlier and which was fast becoming Korea's most popular. Throughout this video you will see the 3 *'s for the group's three letter acronym. I will leave it to ARMY to say who they are but will note negativity was not emanating from what actually is a very talented group but their overzealous fans.

I love these 7, once boys and now men. Each are extremely talented. As a grandmother, I have emotionally adopted each one of these men as my grandsons. I'm 70 and pray I can get to just one concert before I go.

The song "On" says it all. The complete lyric is "Bring the pain On". And they meant that lyric so sincerely. Shouting to the world...bring on any pain you want to dish out!! We can handle anything. Any challenge. Any haters. At that time they had faced it all. And survived. And survived to become the biggest group in the world. Fyi. Their company makes billions. They aren't each billionaires. But they are ALL Multi Millionaires. And they own stock in their own company. They never have to work again. But it's not about money to them. They know they are rich as human beings! But I understand you were saying that to make a point.

.. and you guys didn't hear Tae's ment speaking about his grandma... it breaks your heart. And he only brought it up cause ARMYs noticed he was acting out of character, very silent and down, and kept asking him if he was okay, like what was happening. He didn't bring it up NOT out of the blue or to use his grandma's death for anything. She raised him! it makes me so furious

Sad fact... this video only shows a tiny fraction of what they have been fighting against.

The funny thing about that rapper, is that he was locked up the same day Suga/Agust D released his 2nd mixtape D2.

No lie, I was leaving the Agust D concert last night and some stupid security guard was talking smack about us being out for kpop. You could hear army turn out and say SO WHAT? It brought the lyrics. of cypher 4 " I love i love I love myself, Ya, playa, haters, you should love yourself, brr". I only wish that the security guard could find love in his life so he wouldnt need to hate on people going to a concert.

"They disrespect them every chance they get" EXACTLY! And thats why people try to say armys are insane and the worst fandom when in reality all we're doing is defending BTS from all the bs

Namjoon saying let’s break the music industry and they did. And also underground rapper tiger jk said that namjoon changed his perspective on how underground rappers view idol rappers

Note that other agencies would agitate the other groups fans to create fan wars and try to get antis to attack BTS... the music industry in Korea and America are desperate for them to fail as they got success without them and they won't use payola etc either....

it’s so difficult to watch this video, it makes me cry every time

Jimin got death threats this year too. Sabotage attempts on his solo project too. Last year too.

The plagiarism accusation regarding the French photographer -- the Frenchman himself said there was no plagiarism and he never thought there was. That he was flattered his work inspired them to take it in a new direction and put so much respect on it.

Really appreciate you 2 for taking the time to learn, appreciate and enjoy the culture. 💯

About the conscription Jin and JHope have already started their military service Suga has been exempted due to a long-term shoulder injury which while it has been surgically repaired is still has problems so he will be doing community service instead. All the other members are planning on enlisting soon so that they can all be finished their service by the end of 2025.

The worst of the bullying happened before they got big. The death threats in particular. They didn't have the clout or the recognition to fight back like they do now. it was so awful. :(

Thanks guys for understanding and not judging 💜💜

Mil gracias por su reacción. Soy ARMY de 62 años de edad, sigo a BTS hace 6 años y AMO estos chicos de enorme talento, pero, sobre todo de inmenso corazón. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Un saludo desde Colombia.

I really hope you guys will check of the Rise of Bangtan docuseries. It is a very incredibly well done docuseries made by a BTS army that takes you all the way through their journey to the top starting from the bottom and even gives the backstory.

I actually held a petition at my work place and I work in a huge tech company against that german radio host. that is a PUBLIC radio station who has influence on the public with what they say on air. they have a responsibility to be ambassadors of the country. its nOT just a joke.

those mean comments is something we deal with on everyday basis. so army has learned to adapt and fight back when needed. i see hate almost everyday recently it was Jk and V with death treats and hate, before that it was jimin. but yes it only becomes bigger the more popular they become. and they are the sweetest most humble people on earth so to se that makes us protect them at all cost.

Haters are like that, they start using huge words without actually giving a thought on if it’s true. They labeled BTS as ‘misogynistic’ although their lyrics weren’t, and they called them ‘plagiarism boys’ over accusations like having the same hair color and having a school boy concept for their music video. None of those are plagiarism, you can’t plagiarize a hair color. And school concepts are very common not only in Asia but everywhere in the world. All they did was wear school uniforms and people accused them of ‘plagiarizing’ another group, which was just ridiculous

CYPHER 2 is their clap back at Be Free

Thank You guys for the respect and kindness you showed to Our sensational kings bts. I am thankful that BTS never gave up and the Army's before me that stood by them. Thank You 💜 for that BTS became My Strength, Comfort and Happiness.

thank you for taking the time for reacting to this and taking the time to understand what they been through, much love and respect to you both!💜

One thing to know about Hybe and ARMY: we don't play with BTSs safety. If there's a death threat, their agency takes it seriously and ARMY have actually acted as protective barriers for the boys at times. BTS and ARMY have a very symbiotic relationship.

That fandom that accused them of copying STILL does it. Last time was for the guys rubbing Jin’s head when they sent him off to military. And a few weeks before that they were mad Hobi wore a black hat like their fave wore (it wasn’t even the same style). There’s still a lot of jealous people that drag the guys day in and day out. ARMY works hard to report & shield as much as we can & we support BTS in everything so they can be successful & always be on top & shove it in their haters faces.

They weren't that big yet when they cancelled the show. These guys get stalkers and death threats regularly. I'm certain it was with real reason to believe attempts would be made. I wish this never happens but as ARMY you are constantly confronted with hate towards them and even Army. BTS broke a lot of boundaries and tore down the walls of so many genres. They also say what's on their mind, I'm looking at you Kitty ❤ RM ❤ My Hope. That is what I like best about them though. Their success has created jealousy, left other entertainers feeling replaced or threatened and then there's the crazy "He's gonna be mine or nobody's" people. It truly does take an Army to protect them, promote them, make sure their music gets played.

THANK YOU!!!! I really appreciate you reacting to this. You are on point! All of this has made them stronger and they all remain humble. Jimin is still getting death threats as well as Jung Kook. There were strong threat that Jimin would be attacked at their last Busan Concert. They knocked it out of the park! Please react to it. As well as their last Grammy performance, J-Hope's Lallapaloosa show were he sold more tickets than any other artist ever at Lallapaloosa. 5hey best concert you want to react to is the Wimberley one. Thank you again for your love and interest in our BTS.

O respeito de vocês ao BTS é contagiante! Que bom que estão indo fundo pra conhecer o porque do sucesso desses sete rapazes talentosos! Eles ainda sao discriminados de todas as formas, mas a estrela deles brilha cada vez mais! Obrigada!🥰💜

V's grandmother raised him. His parents were very poor. They were migrating farmers. They were gone all week and would only see V on weekends. So when he announced his grandmother had died... he was saying his "Mother" who raised him died!! It was so sad when he announced it.

All of the other KPop groups knew when these young boys debuted they was gonna be a problem to be reckoned with! The talent speaks for itself but the industry had to try to do what the industry does best! THIS group of guys have something that so frickin rare that they have out stood all of weapons formed against them. How many times have different American talent scouts and producers tried to do this (white or black-boy or girl). The way our mindset is and that need to have all of the shine, recognition, money and titles have ALWAYS tore down the group! Their culture traditions of respect, education, hard-work and honor attributes to their mindset, maturity and professionalism. They are teaching the world beautiful lessons if only we humble ourselves and take note instead of trying to tear down and discredit! I see alot of OUR culture as inspiration in them...but that's another discussion 😉 After watching this, now is the best time to watch the MAMA 2019 awards...it will put into perspective why they shook other Asian music entities and the US into a chokehold!!

Like a lot of commentors have said , and it may have been buried... the concert stopping/the attacks about the lyrics etc were only a year or two after their debut... apart from first gen Army, nobody really knew who they were..... Bighit the company didn't even have the funds to publicly represent them fully.....

The Death threats just seem to keep coming at the present time there's a person threatening to kill Joonkook after the person sent food to his private address. He asked please don't do that I won't eat it.' so now that person is threatening to kill him.

you guys should really look at suga hardships every time i hear about it i cry like i never cried before he struggeld a lot

Now that you watched this video you should react to the Cyphers (1-4). They clapped back at all the hate that came their way.

"they have a lot of firsts" exactly! that's why "BTS paved the way" has become a very known sayin. everything bts does, you will see other groups pushing to achieve

A lot of people who get called out for talking bad about bts LOVE to say "I'm a fan" as soon as they get backlash. It's happened so many times. Also the fact that the guy so proudly said "There still needs to be a European band at the top" rubbed me the wrong way. Like what do you mean there still needs to be a white boy band at the top?? Weird...

I'm glad you have checked this out. This really is a great reminder to us, that BTS didn't just rise to fame in a day and there have and still has hardship to face.... I wish I could say that we could all smile now and be content as We have already gave BTS a place in the industry, the Top. A place they deserve and finally be acknowledged... 🥹 but as large of an existence BTS and Army have, the ongoing fight is still ON.. I wish I could say they are no longer being discriminated and downplayed, mistreated and ignored, but we all know how SCAMMYS AND BULLSHTBOARD is treating them right now, from a Group to Solo works, the fight ensues 😭 AND NOW, this damn corrupt music industry , especially in the West, is doing all its best to push down their solo works even with all the proof of sales and streams ... Even with all their contributions to their country, you would expect that when u visit SK , u would see a lot of BTS related stuff , but no... Recently, xCeleste mentioned that on her last trip to SK and the lack of BTS related stuff was dumbfounding 😭 even with all their accolades, their own country still couldn't fully acknowledge them, WHY 😭 The fight will always be an uphill battle indeed.. as our Boys enlist one by one, let's keep a strong faith, and just do our Tannies justice . Keep streaming, keep supporting and keep an open communication with BH and Armies . keep reporting those malicious content and Sasaeng accounts 👿 Lets all stand strong ARMYS !! We have walked the thorns with BTS since , and we will keep walking . As Yoongi said, "We are all climbing a mountain and ARMY is claiming BESIDE US. Lets Climb till the end. " HWAITING BTS! HWAITING ARMY! #APOBANGPO💜 #BORAHAE💜

bts is who they are they are humble yet strong and they have a smart leader in RM with a iq of 148 they just had to make it through all the hard trials ❤❤❤

@41:10 YES EXACTLY. Being disrespect towards bts is extremely normalized for some reason. People are way too comfortable being blatantly rude to them. @43:03 The room analogy is exactly it! That's what they're saying & it makes no sense smh. 🤦🏽‍♀️

They still go through a lot with the stalkers esp this year starting by Rm, jungkook , v also jin even when he is in the military people still not leaving them alone

That's why we army so protective over ours boys..they got so much hate back then...and the so many people try to use them...

I just wanted to clear up the military exemption part. (Disclaimer: I'm not Korean, but I live in Korea and this is what I saw/have been schooled on from Koreans around me) Currently, one of the ways to become exempt from service is by winning at a certain music/dance competitions. As far as I know, the music competitions are mostly like instrumental - piano, violin.... However, some record companies were saying that being a K-pop idol is just as intense and strenuous as a classical musician. Therefore, the standards should be re-examined to allow different types of music. When the talk of military exemption for k-pop idols started heating up, I saw multiple news articles using BTS as the main picture. Because of that, many people, who just glanced at headlines and saw the picture, interpreted that as, "Oh, BTS is trying to flake on their national duty. They win a few awards abroad and now they think they're all that." No one around me was talking about the record labels who actually brought it up even though, remember, BTS's company was never even at those meetings. BTS never asked to be exempt, they said multiple times that they'd go when called upon. Basically, the other record labels saw BTS's success abroad and figured it couldn't be that hard to get their artists to win something abroad as well. That way they could get an exemption and not have to deal with those 2 years of their artist being out of the spotlight. When the government announced the new stipulation, a recommendation from the culture minister, the record labels were up in arms about it. Why? Because BTS is the youngest to ever receive it. This time the record labels knew exactly how difficult it would be to win that award and that pissed them off because now it seemed like the exemption was only for BTS. Karma is a b--- and she's an army. These record labels had people slinging BTS's name through the mud for even thinking about skipping out on their civic duty, when that wasn't the case at all, only to end up with an amendment that only BTS could enjoy. :)

A diferencia de muchos otros grupos de kpop, bts tuvo que luchar el triple, vinieron desde abajo, ellos no nacieron en cuna de oro ni tuvieron una empresa enorme que les tenía el exito asegurado como a otros.

This is the reason why ARMYs we are so protective over BTS because we have seen their hardships from the very beginning and they never gave up.

Guys you have to remember that this was when they weren’t liked at all. Hence “ bts hardships “. I thought she made it pretty clear this is the early days. Before army was what it is now. So they didn’t have security like that so they couldn’t take any chances. I don’t think you guys understood that. And how you mentioned in the video where you watched them at the amusement park and how no one ran up to them. They weren’t well known in the beginning. That’s why they could walk around like that. They were so called nobodies at the time. I don’t know how you aren’t getting that lol. ( I’m not being mean at all I’m just not sure how cuz she mentions it several times this is when they weren’t that well know or popular. ) They were the underdogs for years. This shows you the beginning of them. How they grew , and what they faced while being underdogs. 💜 always love the reactions tho keep them coming !!! Much love !

new subscribed here, always love when people react to this video and introduce to BTS, its helpful for knowing much about BTS

Thank you for your reaction 💜💜🥺

Really enjoy your reactions love the commentary

Gracias!!! BTS!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💫

Love the reaction 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

These death threats are so upsetting. Even just last week I witnessed someone in the "sub fandom" of BTS say they want to use Jimin as a speed ramp and run over him over & over. I think Jimin has received the highest amount to be honest with even his father & family being threatened.

Joe Budden has done these hatred comments about BTS on his podcast. When JHope and jcole dis a song together Joe Budden dissed jcole for being on a song with BTS member. I wonder what he will say about Kodak black and blue choppa sharing a track with Jimin for the fast x

They have come through so much and have proved they were meant to be where they are now. Their story is so inspiring!

the thing about bts and bighit is that all their money goes directly to them, without using middle men to promote them. Like you said, it started from having no other option because they didn't have money to pay for advertising. Now it is a question of honour. they don't pay radios to play their songs, they don't enter spotify deals, they don't pay to get ads on youtube, ... which are common practices by most artists. So what happened is due to the mass amount of streams and views, youtube and spotify are actually losing money because of bts. So since last year, they have kind of "shadowbanned" bts, deleting streams and views on purpose, just so they don't have to pay bts their deserved views. We used to get 100 million views during the first 24h, and now because of youtube constantly freezing and deleting the views we barely get 10 million.

The Red Bullet tour was in 2015 & they weren’t that big yet.

Enjoying your videos and the appreciation and respect you show BTS!! ARMYs come in all ages and colors and genders, which is a true testimony to who these incredible men are!! Keep it up!!

such an insightful reaction, thank you

29:43 this is a YG) the company of the Backpink group, there was such a scandal there then,yg sent their reporter to the BTS press conference to ask about plagiarism.. strange no? And the fandom that has been insulting BTS since 2013 is fans of the exo group, the heroes need to know 😍

The misogyny claim stemmed from a mistranslation of the lyrics from the song war of hormone...

I did hit like and subscribed. I enjoy y'all's reactions very much. Y'all have good sense - enjoy this BTS journey. It is a lifetime change. 💜

I love them 7. True love

The whole military exemption issue was such a mess and it went on for years! BTS always said they will enlist when it's time, AgustD even said that in the lyrics of a song, that's how committed they always were. They never asked for an exemption, but suddenly all their rival record labels were banding together to ask for an exemption, in THEIR name! How low is that? They slandered BTS for years, but still had the nerve to petition saying there should be an exemption, using BTS as an example because their own artists were not big enough. Then they all got upset when when BTS was allowed to postpone their enlistment. Which, by the way, was not done to help BTS, it was done because the Korean gov. needed public favour and because they needed BTS to create traction for the world expo before they enlist. As a fan, I'm happy that BTS became so famous, but I also hope they can just relax and take it easy when they come back, they've already given us so much and spent way too many years being hounded by vultures. I mean, can you imagine hating BTS so much that you petition to the head of state to take them down?? They're not criminals, they're just singers singers doing their job, but some people are unhinged 🙄 rant over.

Also y'all really smart getting this stuff real quick. I am impressed with y'all. Other reactors I watched did not fully get what the words are implying. Y'all got them super quick. I loved the reaction

They said the country will lose something like 4.2 billion in tourist revenue while BTS serves in the military. That was one of the considerations to exempting BTS

Ok, last response 🤣🤣🤣 watch or react to their 1ST US PERFORMANCE at our AMA's The crowd, audience & vibe never lies 🖤 🎤🖤🎤

36:04 Don't get it twisted, the American music industry hates BTS worse than the Korean music industry does! BTS doesn't pay for radio play or schmooze the music or media industry at all and since they don't, they are purposefully fucked with in both South Korea and the US. There are plenty of explanation videos on this, so I hope you watch them. For example, Billboard changes the rules every time the boys top their charts. This is a proven fact. The latest example being our boy Jimin--he was the first solo Korean artist to ever make #1 for his song, Like Crazy, so in the middle of the next tracking week when he was projected to stay in the top 10, Billboard changed the rules and filtered 60%+ of his sales. Seriously hope you watch a video explaining about this because it's fucking insane how all these institutions have such a huge hate boner for BTS that they go so out of their way to specifically fuck with them just because BTS isn't spending their hard-earned money to work within the shit rigged system. 37:47 The BTS members have started their military service and hope to be reunited as a group by end of 2025. So far Jin and J-hope are enlisted and the other boys will soon follow. Other groups and record labels were just trying to use BTS as an excuse to avoid their mandatory service but the boys never asked to be used in such a way.

Thank you so much for reaction our 7 boys 💜

Our Jin & JHope is there (military) like I told you fam & RM next early June 😭

Mostly JEALOUSY!!! People that gave them a hard time were mostly just envious of their talent

BTS painful moments / hardships (falls, injuries, faints, crying) very interesting...I love you guys!

Thanks you for sharing and commenting positively about BTS 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

The irony of the guy that called Joon and Yoongi girls for wearing make up, his name is B-free but he isnt free....

Thank you for your giving BTS a chance and being open minded.💜

You are getting the timeline all confused. You kept saying that they are big and that they should have all security or bodyguards. Maybe now in 2023, but not back in 2014/15. They were small potatoes with a small budget. I get really frustrated when you keep saying things like why would they cancel the show? Why aren't they doing that? They have the money!!! Aren't you even listening or watching what the narrative is saying? They are near bankruptcy during this time.

Jin once said "People succeed when others say negative things"

You guys need to remember the Red Bullet Tour was in 2015. They were not wealthy and big back then. They didn't have the funds or security they have now in 2023. It wasn't until 2016 when BST and the Love Yourself trilogy came out, that they became known worldwide.

If anyone is interested I have the link to The Full Panel Discussion which included the part about The White Paper Project. I have watched it in full many tunes. I got truly curious as I am both ARMY & a 3rd generation born in the states Japanese-American w/a Japanese grandfather who fought for willing for the US while his family was being held in a AZ Internment Camp.

that's why their bodyguard its so over protective🤗 event in the other country their is always one trusted bodyguard who is always with them💜

I'm a new to your reactions and I must say you guys are very impressive and I would like you to do the documentary of The Rise of Bangtan there you will learn more about them keep up the good work fighting 💜💜💜

Thank you for reacting to this. They have always receives so much hate since the beginning for no reason. They don't deserve it it all. What they have done wrong? The amount of racist and xenophobic people out there it honestly makes me feel sick. And this video just shows some of the hardships until 2021... you guys don't have any idea of all the sabotages and injustices they have gone through the last year and this one 😭😭 It's crazy and ridiculous at this point how even big platforms don't try to hide the sabotages anymore and the worst part is that Army tries to show to the world the issues and we get zero response because it' about BTS and not other American or European artist or whatever and It makes me so sad and lose hope in humanity bc wtf (?) They deserve respect as artists and as human beings because we are all the same
