American's First BTS (방탄소년단) - Dynamite REACTION VIDEO w/ Aaron Baker | KPOP 

Its not gender bend. They are just well clean groomed males who wear makeup for their performances cos they are artist..and also kpop compose of not only music but makeup n stylish clothings. You will not see them with makeup in their normal daily lives. U should watch their variety show such as bon voyage. All neutral. Also some of them has androgynous features and they are not afraid to dress up looking feminine. Basically in south korea its normal for male kpop idols to look more softer than masculine for some. Since u are new you may find its puzzling but once u dive into kpop or bts you will get used seeing all these. 👍 try react to mic drop, ON or fake love mv.

They are all male. Korean Fashion is far above US fashion lol

Great reaction. Thanks for turning me onto this song. I've never listened to any K pop before either. Love it.

If I’d had a boyfriend that looked like Jimin I wouldn’t have let him go! 😂😂😂 Great reaction! 👌🏻

BTS identify as men. They just don't care when it comes to "gender norms" when it comes to clothes, dancing or whatever and they strongly go against "toxic masculinity". Okay but I see others have left comments like this too lol. BTS also don't keep to just one genre or style. This is actually one of their brightest concepts for a song. Please check out "ON kinetic manifesto film" or "Black Swan" or "MicDrop", you'll get to see their rougher side.

That is simple answer: "They are pure beautiful💖"

“Theyve got some moves” uhm whos gonna tell him 😂 armys recommend some good choreo there 💜

This song is not their usual thing, but they wanted to offer it to brighten and energize us during these tough times. If you listen and watch their past songs, you'll be really surprised. I recommend reacting to songs they are well known for like the music video for Mic Drop (Steve Aoki Remix), Fake Love, Not Today, ON Kinetic Manifesto Film, Black Swan.

They are all guys but jimin has soft features. They may term it gender bending because of there willingness to wear colorful cloths and earrings but no more then someone like bad bunny

It's korean culture. That's the way korean men take care of themselves. My ex boyfriend is korean; he wears make up and very fashion forward. I'm a girl and I care less about my looks compared to him. Looks are everything to the koreans. (I meant it in a good way).

I’ve been listening to kpop since high school . 24 years old now . What I love about BTS is they are UNLIKE any other artists / group I’ve ever encounter not just in kpop but stands out from American artists. While most music nowadays is about love , sex drugs , toxic love , bts uses their music to spread Positivity. They use their music and platform to tackle topics such as mental health, suicide. Which are TABOO TOPICS in South Korea . But needs to be addressed and taken serious. Other topics they tackle are importance of self love , self care , motivation , following your dreams , your empowerment , women empowerment , Koreans corrupt academic system and politics , government oppression , the generation differences between young people and older adults, etc . They want everyone to understand music should not be judge based on race , skin color , race, religion , language. Etc. as RM (leader of bts ) mention “Music has the power to transcend and translate messages “ Other things we love about them is their devotion to projects such as charity work , inspired many fans to create their own charity projects and naming them after the group members : projects include planting trees, donating to children hospital , helping out pet adoption agencies , can food drives and many more . You have no clue how special BTS is to their fans. Bts also donated 1million dollars to black lives matter and in just 24hrs , their fanbase the “ARMY “ ( bts fandom name ) donated 1million to BLM. Raising over 2million dollars . Btw , majority of bts fans are actually over 20. I have friends who are in their 20s-50s are into bts. They have a very diverse fanbase .

LOL no BTS are not gender bending. If anything, it’s just all male kpop idols are well groomed in South Korea. They care about their beauty. It’s also part of the kpop world. During performances, photo shoots, music videos, they often wear make up mostly minimal or clothing that most men wouldn’t dare wear.

They are men. Wearing makeup and jewellery doesn't make them less men. Toxic masculinity is dead. Some of them have recorded English stuffs: - RM raps in multiple English colabs incl "Champion" with Fall Out Boys. - JK has recorded multiple English covers and sang "We don't talk anymore" with Charlie Puth on a live stage. - JK and RM are on Steve Aoki's "Waste It on Me". - JK and Jimin are on Lauv's "WHO". - Taehyung has a full solo song in English. Coincidentally that song hold the iTunes record for having the most #1s (116 countries). Taylor Swift has 0 songs with 100. BTS has 7 songs with 100 and more. This demonstrates their global popularity. So I guess their fans don't mind their makeup at all.

They're all male. I hope you give their other songs a try. I'd recommend mic drop, black swan, and ON to start with

Laughed when you said this was the song that was playing as someone is dancing down the street with earphones in. I can totally see that. 😂

The fact that u actually replied to 99% comments tells a lot about u.. Ovio in a positive way😇. Haha.. Thnkyou for reacting to bts.. It was a really good reaction👍

Just wanted to add, BTS are 7 very talented beautiful men with golden hearts and heroes to those they have saved. To ARMY around the world, they are legends of our time. I couldn't help smiling when you pointed out Jimin ( the guy who reminded you of your ex ) with a flash in your eyes. We call that the Jimin effect. Jimin is known to catch many people's eyes, straight or gay, man, woman and child.😄

I laugh when he told jimin is it a girl. 😂😂 Please react to BTS Blood Sweat & Tears, BTS (Jimin) Serendipity stage mix

Thanks for reaction. In South Korean culture men actually take care of their skin, grooming and appearance which isn’t a bad thing. In KPop it’s normal to wear performance makeup, no different from other performers in the West..and the metal bands in the 80’s wore much more makeup and people thought that was cool. BTS also incorporates Carl Jung’s analysis on human individuation in their concepts, and the anima/animus (masculine/feminine) aspects exists in all of us individually, so we actually don’t need to label ourselves by his/her gender necessarily. BTS has a wide discography of music and covers different genres: hip hop, rap, R&B, pop, rock, edm, trap, latin, jazz, folk/alternative, classical, and even country! They’re very versatile, and have something for everyone. They are involved with writing and producing their songs too. Their lyrics are really deep and cover topics like socio-political issues, mental health awareness, self-love, psychology, philosophy, literature. Their live performances are on another level too. Like Michael Jackson level amazing. They also tied the Beatles’ for most #1 albums in a year and beat Adele’s 5 year record of most #1’s on iTunes and broke one of Michael Jackson’s 36 year chart record. “Dynamite” is very poppy made to be radio friendly. And it’s a song BTS said they wanted to release to give positive vibes to their fans and people during quarantine. It’s just all about good vibes, not made to be too serious. I gravitate towards BTS’ rap, R&B, and indie/rock tracks but can’t help dance to Dynamite-it’s such a mood. It’s actually not the style they’re most known for. BTS is made of 3 rappers (RM, Suga, JHope) and 4 singers (Jin, Jimin, V, Jungkook) and started out as hip hop group and 2 of their 3 rappers were well known in underground rap before they joined BTS. If you want to get a real taste of their range, check out these songs-they go hard! “ON Kinetic Manifesto Film”, “Mic Drop”, “Not Today”, “Fake Love”, “Daechwita”, “Black Swan” and “Fire” MV’s. BTS is on another level compared to other boy groups since BTS sing, rap and dance really well (boy bands of past did not rap or skilled dancers -BTS are triple threat next level! BTS are the real deal.

The guy who drank milk... his nickname is k(c)ookie. So you have whole set already.

I think you're a rather beautiful man yourself and there's nothing genderbending abt that. It's just different cultures. East Asian men usually prioritize their skincare, hair and fashion while the Americans tend to lean toward the more rugged, facial hair type of masculinity. Nothing wrong with either kind but Asians normally get mocked and insulted for their preference which is really toxic. Anyway really enjoy your respectful reaction, please check out their older stuff too, you got a lot of great recs!

These are men. Overly talented men. Hot sexy men. MEN who sing, dance, rap, write, produce and play instruments. They are artists who aren't stuck in one genre'. They are always bringing something NEW to the table. Men, who with this song DYNAMITE are bringing a little hope & happiness to their legion of fans. Also, they write deep meaningful lyrics & bars that will slay your heart & soul. I love a new groove and BTS is always working on NEW sounds. I know its hard for we Americans to get that there is something NEW & FUN out there in the world, that didn't come from America. Even I admit BTS are beautiful. Stunning! prettier than a lot of women. I personally like the fact that they take care of themselves. So many guys look scruffy and dirty but they think they look cool. Only a few guys can actually pull scruffy off. I like clean looking men. I also like BTS's Drip. Their fits are always on point. I'm really hoping this wave being well groomed & their style catches on in America. Also, the one you said looks like someone you dated, holds 3 blackbelts. Last FYI: don't use hair color to figure out their names or you will never know who is who. They love to change it up. I hope you will react to more of their music. Like I said earlier, It's something new, fun and exciting, not the same ol, same ol.

BTS has a looooong list of discography. any genre you like, they have it. and you will love their songs. their MVs has english subtitles. thanks for reacting to this. 💜

"Dynamite" is exactly what 2020 needed THANK YOU BTS

Oh no....can this be a potential “jimin” catch once again?? 👍😜 You’re eyes are beautiful by the way 😍 hope u react to their other songs suggested by the rest of the comments...they’re 🔥

Absolutely made me laugh when you said they looked like the most real anime characters you’ve ever seen 😂😂

"These look like the realest anime characters I've ever seen." 😂🙏 I love that

Lol, they are all men, they identify as men. They are just really pretty which is super common in South Korean entertainment. Historically Korea has very strict standards for beauty: for both men and women. Here in America, strict standards for beauty really are only imposed on women, but if you go to Korea, you will see men on ads for makeup, plastic surgery, and things like that. My tour guide actually called BTS "plain compared to other K-Pop idols" when I went there. I was shocked!

Such a sweet reaction! Thank you so much. It is greatly appreciated. You will find so many people who aren't open minded enough to enjoy it and they're constantly criticizing BTS, but you were so kind. 💜 I would definitely recommend checking out more. BTS have become the most popular artists out there. They have inspiring and meaning lyrics, crazy dance skills, and the sweetest of personalities! You should react to On, Mic Drop, Blood Sweat and Tears, Not Today as well as other videos like Who is BTS and Carpool Karaoke with BTS to learn more about them as people :)

"I used to date a girl very similar to......." I was laughing so hard!!! That's one of the main vocals and dance, Jimin. He is an expert at martial arts.

nah man they're just naturally beautiful dudes :D

Kpop is sort of a combination between music, dancing, visuals, fashion, hair and make up. Koreans have great skin care, too. You should watch On Kinetic Manifesto Film music video.

"these look like the realest anime characters I have ever seen" aside from godlike cosplays? damn right, that's all of kpop-

Thank you for the respectful reaction! Hope to see more bts reactions from you!

please don't judge them if you don't know what they have had to go through and endure to be there. first listen to their music. -Black Swan -ON -OUTRO: TEAR -UGH! -DNA -FIRE -MIC DROP (whit Steve Aoki) -Pied Piper.

Welcome to BTS world.. they are all men but there's so many men questions their sexuality after watching Jimin the one you said looks like the girl you dated.. actually there's a compilation video of that if you want to check it out💜

So gorgeous 😍 Bts grew on me great reaction

Thanks for being open mind I would love to see you reacting to BTS again. The Army did a great job explaining everything to you already. The one who looks like your ex is Jimin 😂 lets see if you recognize him in your next BTS reaction ( of course if you wanna do an other one ) they change their hair color alot so it's confusing for people who doesn't know them Lol. Thanks again 💜

Your reaction is exactly what BTS hoped would happen. They wanted this song to bring people some happiness and joy in difficult times. Thank you for your sweet reaction. It was fun to watch. It would also be fun to watch you walking down the street, listening to this song and swinging around light poles. haha Inspire others to find joy in music, regardless of the language!

As far as the androgynous vibes, BTS has been saying f*ck gender norms for a while. So, they're all definitely men, but they are comfortable messing with expectations when it comes to gender. They've said don't worry if clothes are "women's" clothes or "men's" clothes. If you like something and it makes you happy to wear it then wear it. Another thing to remember is that kpop is more than just a genre, it's a concept. Everything to do with a song, the music, lyrics, clothing and makeup, set, video, choreography etc.... is intentional and part of what makes kpop kpop. They've had a lot of concepts through the years and the gender expression is all over the place. From being very masculine and tough looking in videos like No More Dream and N.O to being very androgynous and softer in videos like Blood Sweat & Tears and Boy With Love. This was actually pretty middle of the road for them in that respect.

Thank you for getting into BTS I can't wait to see if you get into the background of each member and their back ground! ARMYMOM PULLING FOR HER BOYS

I love BTS, I listened to this song at least a thought times already

What I like about you is you did your background reading prior etc. You're great man.

Please react to more BTS!💜 Loved how respectable you were towards our boys! Army really appreciates it. They do all different types of genres and you’ll find something you’ll like for sure!!

This was great! I think you’ll really like music from BTS’s rap line! There are 3 rappers in this group and they are amazing! Check out :outro tear, Cypher 4...RM, JHope & suga also have mixtapes you can listen to!

im subscribing because of the “milk and oreos” lol thanks for giving bts a chance looking forward to more bts reactions!

Thank you for reacting to BTS! I enjoyed your reaction! They have great music. It’s not all as poppy as this, but some of it is. They’re a diverse group. I encourage you to check out more if you enjoyed the song! Such a wide discography. Btw, this is off topic, but you have really beautiful eyes. Thanks again! 😊

I REALLY LOL’d when you said your ex looked like Jimin

All BTS members are cisgender males and identify as men. I've usually heard the expression gender bender used on manga, to refer to people who dress as their opposite gender in order to pass in-cognito as a different identity, it's usually a plot devise in romantic comedies... That's clearly not what is happening here, but I guess you could say that Korean idols try to challenge traditional notions of gender expression, not gender identity though, but just being more free and non comforming when it comes to the dressing code and self-expression. This is more of a cultural phenomenon of the new generation, not really something that only BTS does. I hope I explained this well.

Thank you for give our boys a chance to react to them👍🏻🤟🏻 Hope you give them a try on another song.

Why i keep looking his beautiful eyes?😂 Btw, BTS is real Kings❤️

I would like to recommend " BTS MMA live performance 2018, 2019. Don't miss out!!!

They are all MEN!!! JUST BEAUTIFUL MEN !!!! NO GENDER BENDING!!!!! BEAUTIFUL MEN!!!!

Hi. Thank you for the positive vibe reaction.😁 VERSATILITY is one of the words that I can describe BTS. I think you will enjoy MIC DROP or FIRE if you are into hip hop. ON - Kinetic Manifesto film and BLACK SWAN are their 2020 songs that also showcase their multifaceted skills. Have fun! 💜

Best part of the review "they look likr the realist anime characters alive" IRL sir lol

💜Thank you for reacting to BTS💜

Welcome to the rabbit hole- you will be come ARMY soon....It is a good warning...You grow to love them quickly. Find out who your biases are- Favorites in the group or OT-7 all of them. Which you will love them all. But one or two may stick out as your favorite that you can relate to. Mine is V and my bias wreckers are JK and Jimin. I have been a ARMY for 3 yrs and watch them everyday and listen to their 300 plus songs...you have only just begun. Watch out- ARMY is here all over the world. I live in NC.

You should absolutely react to THIS IS BTS INTRODUCTION TO BTS PART 1 after that you'll decide if you could continue reacting their videos or not. BTS deserve a lot of respect you'll see why.

Good point about the vibe. They said they released this to make people feel better if this difficult time. Glad you got the feeling behind it!

nah they're all men they're just beautiful. south korean culture is heavily influenced by looks. you gotta have beautiful skin, eyes, nose, face shapes, figures all that jazz , especially if you're in the entertainment industry. if you look at their entertainment industry you'll see everyone looks clean and flawless. if you only understand american culture then you're in for culture shock when diving into "kpop". thanks for the reaction!

You should watch their Danger dance practice video...that will show you just what amazing dancers they are.

Thank you for approaching this with an open mind. K-pop has no genre, so you can always find something you like. Want the most amazing rap? Try Daechwita by August D (Suga of BTS). Like R&B? Singularity. International beat? Idol. Trap? Mic Drop. Straight up awesome radio play? Fake Love. And don’t forget to turn on the cc’s.

Made me laugh when you said "give me a glass of milk and some cookies" because ironically enough the guy who was drinking milk in the beginning is named Jungkook and his nickname is "Kookie" 🤗

You are so kind , replied the comments , thx for react BTS.

I’ll wait for your next bts’s reaction. I am telling you, these people are awesome!

Thanx for reacting to BTS. As others have said, this video is not typical for BTS. They cross all genres, yes, but veery few of their songs are as light-hearted and poppy as this one. They released it because they knew their fans were going through some hard times. BTS is known for cinematic videos, complex choreography and meaningful lyrics. If you choose to react to more BTS videos be sure to put on the subtitles (cc button). btw, I watch a lot of asian dramas... You can invariably tell which actors are Koreans just by the skin care. They have the most fabulous skin care products of all time. When BTS were rookies, with the exception of Jin, they were not considered good-looking. Amazing what 7 years of good skin care will do for you.

Great reaction. THANKS 💜

please watch the rest of their songs and also dance i bet you gonna love it man 😊

Lmao at the pause on Jimin and comparison to a girl. Yup. Happens. Every. Time. This reactors smile cracked me up. 👍🏻

Hi Aaron! I just watched your reaction video of Agust D - Daechwita so I came here to see your first BTS music video. The only thing I want to say to you is there is a reason why the fans “Armys” love BTS and they are the biggest band in the world. I hope you will keep digging into their music and message to find out for yourself 💜

Yes, you yourself are VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Korean idols could pull off any outfits. Their fashion styles are on point! They have to take care of their skin well to be an idol. Male idols are prettier than girls 🤩

Thanks for the reaction!

Great reaction, i purple you

thanks for ur nice reaction ur so good to be true bts is so amazing theyre awesome i love them so much

HAHAHAHA I was so not expecting you to say he looked like your ex

4:30 "I used to date a girl in Seattle that looked very similar......" AND JIMIN DID IT AGAIN 😅💜

Please check out other songs from them. They cover a wide variety of genres. Their b sides are amazing. I listen to their entire discography on a daily basis. Not because I'm a hardcore ARMY, but because the songs are great and the messages are deep. These guys really care and take pride in their work. I personally am OBSESSE Dwith Hip Hop Lover aka Hip Hop Lover and Danger at the moment. Their rap line has cyphers that are insane and their vocal line are the angles rivals.

I understand that you didn't mean any disrespect when you commented on their gender identity, which just goes to show how extremely important BTS' worldwide success is because the lack of Asian representation and diversity in male role models in the west is just shockingly apparent here: they are simply very handsome Asian men!

Subbed.!!! I loved your reaction. Keep them coming

I would love to see you jump into the BTS "rabbit hole" as we call it. You will be so surprised. Try Mic Drop next for a whole different feel !

You're impress! Just wait till you hear the other songs. Dynamic is not their usual kind of song. There are 3 rappers and 4 vocalist. Get to know the boys by react to Who's BTS? Seven member of Bangtans.

You can cancel Christmas 😂😂 2:08

love da video man keep it up fr

It's a Korean Fashion thing ❤ esp. doing performances. Nothing wrong being pretty guys. I was baffled when I first watched them too so I feel you 😅

So this is how smart they are! They made their brand go public on the stock market. They racked up over 100 million dollars.

I love your cool reaction! I like your green eyes n you are handsome too...but I love the worldwide handsome, Jin, more! 😍

Thank you for your reaction. If you decide to react to more BTS then you will need to turn on your cc for Lyrics/subtitles, since most of their songs are in Korean and English. BTS is not the typical kpop group. If fact their sound and music doesn't even fall in the kpop genre. We call it BTSpop since they do a wide variety of music. Looking forward to other BTS reactions.

Honestly I wasn't expecting a milk defense as the opening comment xD

Big fan bro

You should react to their dynamite b side music video.. it's more funky tho And Jimin looks like your ex, well she must be beautiful cause Jimin is Btw you have beautiful eyes, green is the rarest eye color(or it's hazel i forgot lol)

Your eyes😱👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

Good reaction, nicely put...... they are one talented group of lovely guys.... to record this in English was a challenge as only one member Namjoon speaks fluently but they have all worked so hard to learn... try listening to some beautiful songs Spring Day and Black Swan on James Cordon show

Him: at 5:45 saying these look like the realest anime characters I've ever seen' ...... Me: Welcome to the world of Kpop my guy! 😂😂😂

Please react to BTS "On" manifesto film. You will really get to see what they can do, their sound, and their dancing. They have so much more as well. I think you would thoroughly enjoy it.

Iam army too, thnak you for your reaction and i hope you liked it. You can listen his music and i cheer up that you can reaction at their lives performances, it is amazing. Really amzing. i am sure you will like it. Purple/Boraghe dears Armys. Dont forget keep sream Dynamite and thanks four your words Bigger than me tv :) PD. Sorry for my englis, i am from Spain

Welcome to the rabbit hole, my friend!

*WATCH "BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS" and you will see more PRETTY SASSY JIMIN there :)* Edit : *THEY ARE ALL MEN but PARK JIMIN have softest voice among them :)*

They're all men, obviously. It's just that korean standards of beauty are somewhat different than what we westerners are used to. Men are so much softer and kinder, even boyish-like shy. I quite like it actually.

Kim Namjoon aka RM is fluent in English He is self taught at the age of 14 or 13 from watching the show friends 3 times with Korean subs and he has an IQ of a 148. He co writes and co produces their songs, he is credited to 70 % of it. He’s also the main rapper and leader of the group which is were the phrase: “Kim Namjoon for President” was born. Also he’s just an amazing human being Pls react to RM being done with the members english Also he has the guy that come second, the one with the white jacket
