An Introduction To The Seven Members Of BTS - LIVE REACTION 

I'm not trying to be dramatic but SUGA's lyrics literally help me to survive each day, that's how much BTS music and especially SUGA's music means to me. His lyrics are deep, sincere, raw and emotional. They make you think and they give you hope. SUGA writes music using his own experience and that's why he inspires me a lot. He went through many hardships, he had really tough life, but he never gave up and his story, his music give me strength

A recent event that once again shows the kind of people big hit and army are is the situation revolving the new single of butter ft. Megan thee stallion. Bts had reached out to Megan for the feature in June and Megan quickly accepted and sent in her part by July, but it couldn’t get released until just recently because Megan was fighting against her own company to get it released (she sued and won and bts’s legal team assisted). This was most likely due to the fact that big hit was attempting to ensure that all profit of the single goes directly to Megan and not her company, and her company was not happy about that arrangement. When news came out about this conflict army quickly showed their support and teamed up with Megans fandom (thee hotties) to create “theearmyfund” where in less than 24 hours they raised 100k to be split between “Black Women for Wellness”, “Women for Afghan Women” and “Houston Food Bank”. They finally got the single released and to my knowledge Megan is receiving every penny of her profit.

Just a quick tip, don't automatically assume BTS's lyrics are about love (even if they may seem like it at the surface level). Many of their songs that most write off as typical love songs go much deeper and you have to actually do research to understand it. Also, the Korean lyrics are usually more poetic than the English translation

I'm touched to hear you say even you might not like their music but you still have a lot of respect for BTS. It's like a breath of fresh air especially during the times where a lot of people just throw hates on BTS without finding out anything. THANKS so much!

hi, thank you for uploading this! just one correction, outro: tear (13:00) is not a song about love (just like the fandom assumed at first). A little later after the release, the members, precisely suga, revealed that it was a song about the time when they considered disbandment. as you can imagine, it's a little hard to listen to for fans now that we know the context lol. you'll surely get to what the lyrics mean when you start reacting to the music though!

original hip hop was never about 'fame,girls, money'... it's about wordplay, rhythm, poetry and REAL substance. dont let the mumble rappers fool you. you should listen to the real ogs and bts' rapline are REALLY good rappers.

The guys were in "training" through their record label for months and even years before they put out their first song. They took hours and hours of voice training and dance lessons. Big Hit even flew Jungkook to LA for a summer to take intensive dance lessons from a choreography studio there. Their talent is real but they did train to make it even better.

Namjooning is considered now as an ARMY word.. After 3 days 12 hour shifts.. I am totally namjooning😂watering my plants.. Listening to music... Etc😂🎶💜🎧

I am a 50 year old ARMY. I, like you, knew nothing about them until introduced to them by my 11 year old (at that time) daughter who is now 13. I, naturally, wanted to know who this band was that she was obsessing about. Needless to say, the more I found out about them and the more I listened to them... the more I fell in love with them. I am now as big of a fan (if not more so) than she is lol. I love how positive their influence is on the youth of today. I love how genuine and loveable they are and OMG the talent. The lyrics and meaning behind their music has a way of helping me get through the day and face life when it gets overwhelming and I'm feeling down. I can honestly also say that this band helped build a bridge between myself and my daughter giving us something that we could bond over at a time that was a difficult time for us. Having a tween girl ain't for sissies, people. lol But, even when there were times she wouldn't communicate about anything else we could bond over BTS. And if only for that, I'll be forever grateful to (and a stan of...) BTS! They are the BEST.

14:01 Outro:Tear isn't actually about love, it's actually a sad song that was made when BTS were having a dark period of time in their lives, and this song was made when they were thinking about disbanding. I think it was Suga I believe (Or one of the rap members) who said that when they showed this song to the group they started to cry together

SUGA's second self-produced mixtape D-2 surpassed 400 MILLION streams on Spotify last week🔥 It is the first and only album by a K-soloist to surpass this milestone and it remains as the most streamed album by a Korean solo artist!

I'm a 54 year old black American woman - a mom to two teenagers. I'm grateful to my teens for introducing me to this group. They are so incredibly hard working and talented. Their discography is so diverse. Their lyrics are beautiful and often so thoughtful and meaningful. I just hope they are happy - each and every one of them. They deserve it for all the joy they have brought to so many.

I seriously do not go a day without watching BTS content and listening to their music. I am a hardcore Suga bias, but I do honestly love them all so very much! It sounds cliche but these men really do touch the lives of so many on a very deep level and this world is lucky to have them. I am thankful for BTS every single day!💜💜💜

Guys, how much is he going to love mono? Loving how you’re doing this and trying to be patient for you to get to certain things. 🤣 Just so excited for you! And it’s okay that you didn’t listen at first when people suggested BTS, you find them when you’re supposed to.

Actually the best series out there is The Rise of Bangtan - it's an amazing piece of work by some Army members. So far it's 16 episodes - about 30 minutes an episode but it follows their career from the very beginning.

Suga also used to review his music equipment, he gets really excited when he gets something new and shares it on social media. He even posted a vid of him setting up his new studio when the company moved

Suga is so talented and versatile as an artist and producer. he produced/wrote/compose all of his songs and some for bts and other artists. he's an all rounder too and overall just an interesting guy. actually there are a lot of stereotypes ppl make for suga but when you dig deeper, you can see there are many layers on him. i became a fan of him before stanning bts

Suga had the hardest life (pre-debut) out of all members. At 13 he started writing lyrics and learning MIDI. His parents didn't support his passion for music. They were not financially stable and were being practical. They would even throw his lyrics to discourage him but Suga would sneakly continue to do it. "As for me... [my parents ]were very much against [me be coming a rapper] to make me consider [my choice],they hit [me] and fought,and things like this....so i made music[under those circumstances ] "I had some basic MIDI gear before entering the company ,things i'd bought as lyricist after saving up enough money by walking around 2 hours everyday and skipping dinners everyday." In his hometown, he used to work as a studio engineer while composing and performing in front of 2-50 people (he is part of a group called D-town then were he is one of the youngest).He worked underpaid ,sells his songs but often get scammed (getting away w/o paying).He said his parents never saw him performed back then. Suga went to Seoul at 17 to pursue music.A rural boy who went to Seoul, South Korea's capital city,even if many could not understand his dialect. Imagine pursuing your dream where no one believes you aside from your older brother. Where everyone told you that if you pursue music, you'll make your family broke. He only had one supporter that time, his older brother, to whom he would show his songs. When asked if his parents eventually gave him permission make music and Suga replies "Well.... before giving me permission ,i was already out and about doing music" He struggled financially in Seoul and admitted that before, he would have to choose between buying a two dollar noodles or using his money to take a bus (he will always choose to starve) .On wings concept interview he said that in the past,he had struggle to afford three meals a day. Q:"What happened in the past? " "I couldn't eat three meals a day it was hard" "When i was working in the studio,i arranged songs or make beats and even sold them. Then i naturally started to rap and did performances" Q:"How much did you earn? " "Nothing " Q:You said you're working though. "That's what it was like to work there. Usually we don't have any income. Working in the studio ,it was difficult to pay for food and transport .In front of the studio,there was a Chinese restaurant that sells jajangmyeon for 2,000 won,if i walked down further, there was a place that sells Janchi guksu for 1,000 won.I worry about it everyday. If i eat 1,000 won Janchi gukso,i could get the bus and if i eat jajangmyeon i would have to walk 2 hours to home. Even though it was tough, I want ro make music so i endured it." Suga/AgustD/Yoongi had nothing except his skill and confidence. He saw an audition poster(From Bighit) of a rap competition on which he participated and won 2nd place .On semi-finals ,participants were asked to perform same beat but write different lyrics but Suga modified the beat, not just wrote the lyrics which made him stood out. He was scouted later on. He is the only member who was already established producer before becoming a part of BTS. His parents couldn't support him in college for they were poor that's why, Suga worked part time jobs as well(at dawn) while maintaining going to school (at different times and end up sleeping most of the time because he's tired) and practicing as trainee .He also used to buy lottery tickets weekly because he was that desperate . When he was in college apart from working as sound engineer before, he had worked at a convenience store ,had taught composing an MIDI lessons,and another is that delivery job where he got into an accident (2012 pre-debut) and his shoulder got shattered .He didn't tell anyone afraid that the company will kick him out ,that's why his shoulder didn't heal right. This shoulder will be something that he will have to endure 9 years,later on. He told the members that he just fell down the stairs. Eventually the company found out about this injury and paid for his college tuition and hospital fees. Suga told the truth about to the member in 2018 "Burn the stage series". It's one of the factors as to why his mental health issues has worsened . It is music that save yoongi and it is also music which Yoongi lives for. (He's suffering for almost a decade because of tht injury that didn't heal right. It even come to a point where it become a hindrance to his everyday life. He once said in an interview that when he tried to lift a 50ml bottle when they were filming a commercial, his shoulder hurts) Suga, undergoing surgery last November , is his decision because he wants to continue performing on stage .BTS dance choreography is no joke and if you watch them perform you won't think he has an injury he's enduring. Suga received injections often when he performs on stage.Had his shoulder dislocated often too. I couldn't imagine how he managed to perform despite of that. If he hadn't talked about it, fans wouldn't know that his injury is constantly acting up. This is only part of his hardships. He really had gone through so much shit to get where he is at right now. "Bang pdnim(their boss) told me I've become much brighter after releasing my mixtape,he even asked me where the incisive person full of wrath from before had gone. It was my complex and the way to solve it was music i need to make. Agust D is Yoongi's way of healing himself and people who also has struggles and feeling hopeless. Now half a year later their debut (2013) ,his parents havrle shown their support to him .Yoongi was quite a rebel kid,as his members describe him and he also admitted it himself. He said he regretted being rebellious towards his parents .Now his parents are very supportive to him.

Jin's solo Epiphany was the song that had me cryin for good 15 mins. It helps me battling with anxiety. And how lucky ARMY we have many comfort songs like Magic Shop, 2!3!, Microcosmos. And ARMY's most loved song Paradise (with Paradise we tried to make them sing it live for many many times but they Ignored it. Turned out that They forgot that they have song named Paradise and Jungkook got shocked on VLIVE when he found out that Paradis is "Nagwon" in Korean so they actually forgot the english name of the song 🤣)

As Suga puts it, K Pop is an integrated approach which blends the auditory with the visual. Elements such as motion, costuming, cosmetics, facial expression, props, positioning and more combine with the actual music to create a sensory package. Your starting to attend to the presentation in addition to the music shows that as a musician you intuitively get the not so secret sauce that makes this approach both vibrant and effective. BTS tends to do it better than virtually anyone because they frequently add to this mix meaningful lyrical narratives which often run two or three lines of thought at a time. Add their exceptional individual talent levels and they have created one of the world's most engaging packages. The sheer size and continual expansion of their fandom is the proof.

I'm a 35 year old rock fan, and I love BTS. Their art is vulnerable, honest and smart. To be honest, I was pretty bored with superficial mainstream artists that only talk about romantic love, heartbreak, money and stuff like that. BTS has a few love songs, but not that many and like you said, even those hit different because they are vulnerable and honest. What called my attention the most was the way they've been developing since the beginning an artistic concept about growth and getting to know and accept yourself the way you are... They go really deep into human vulnerability and I just love that. Of course they have some fun and lighthearted songs, but they are deep artists that are worth digging into. Plus, their performances are just stunning.

True pleasure to watch your reaction and see you learn! For stadium size, BTS in their last tour in 2019 sold out stadiums like the Rose Bowl and Wembley (for 2 shows at each because too many fans for single day) in under 30 mins. Massively popular and I imagine it’s only going to get worse now that they have reached even higher tiers of popularity the last 18 months. Suga is my bias, his music and lyrics hit me like nothing has in many years. They all are amazing but he’s another lev for me with his emotional sincerity and messages.

Jimin: “you’re nice...keep going”👌

They are so genuine with no prejudice and transparent on everything...it makes us feel so conected. They are not afraid to show who they realy are...i admire them so much because they are so humble...and i am no teenager...but a full grown women married and a mother of two teenagers😉

Thanks for reposting in RU-vid!! Also, I definitely think that you should maybe listen to the album that the episode of Rise of Bangtan goes over. For example, I believe the first two episodes cover the first album, so you can listen to the album, then watch? Idk, everyone does it differently and it still has a big impact either way. But I do think it’s good to hear the music to get some context for the episode. Thanks for your reaction💜

❤ your reaction Mr Jim.RM has an IQ of 148.His speech inspires people.As an old 52 year old teacher in a small village in Malaysia, I slways uses his speech in UN (2018)to inspire my students to learn and speak English.For that I'm so thankful.😍

These lines from the song answer:love myself really show what BTS means to me "You've shown me I have reasons I should love myself. The me of yesterday, the me of today, the me of tomorrow. With no exceptions, it’s all me." I highly encourage you to watch a live performance of this song(with english subs of course), it is truly magical.. Love your videos keep them coming❤️❤️

BTS have changed my entire perception of the world. They've proved to me hardword and passion *will* get you places and you don't have to sacrifice your ethics. You can grow, and learn, and try and I just love them

Also, I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned this but the Rise of Bangtan documentary series is not complete just so you’re aware. The 16th chapter just dropped a few days ago and there are still more to come.

I would absolutely suggest starting at the beginning, and watching the Rise of Bangtan docu series. It's such an experience.

This aren't really television shows they are streamed on online platforms such as Vlive and Weverse alot Run BTS are often reuploaded on RU-vid The rest are pay for view type of shows They started Run BTS for multiple reasons BTS didn't get a lot of media exposure on television shows cause they weren't invited a lot.Because they didn't belong to huge labels at that time. So this was sort of their way to show more of their personalities. We think Bang PD approved this idea because he didn't want BTS to feel like they were boxed in with life experiences you know how Kpop Idols live right. And this shows made them humble and have more appreciation with the little things they receive even more. And help them build better synergy as well. Teaching them basic skills and having fun while doing them really takes off the stress they receive especially when they end up enjoying it. Bon Voyage and In the Soop is just them unwinding while on vacation and they really show you what each member values in their own time

Their songs are definitely not about romantic love only. They tackle real life and mature issues also and that is why their fandom is so diverse in terms of age. In their recent songs, the "romantic love songs" are directed to their fans, not to a particular girl.

I became ARMY when BTS song Love Myself helped my granddaughter who was going through a medical crisis deal with her depression. Jin song Epiphany also helped me to see that I needed to love myself first. The Love Yourself era helped many that were struggling. Thanks to BTS music when I am down I have music to inspire me to go on.

Hey Jim, Brazilian army here 🤗 I recommend you watching 2020 Global Army Song "7 Reasons" which is a song that army made for BTS, it really expresses how much they've helped and touched so many lives ☺

Through my teen years and early years of adulthood now, I’ve struggled a lot with depression, self loathing leading to an eating disorder, and more recently, anxiety. To try to sum it up shortly, BTS has really been the backbone of inspiration, guidance and reassurance I’ve needed every time I’ve fallen down a hole and couldn’t get back up. When I lost interest in most things, music was my one thing that could from time to time make me smile or comfort me. Mono, RM’s solo mixtape came out during one of my darkest times and he really managed to make me feel seen and understood. He described so perfectly some of the emotions I was going through at the time. After I’d gone though the Love Yourself series over the years, I’d come to realize that working on self love and just working on yourself in general, is one of the most important things in life. I’m in recovery atm and actively seeking help. And I 100% contribute my continued interest in my future actually continuing to BTS and the safe space they’ve created. I’ve met so many great friends who I’ve bonded with through our shared interest of BTS and Army. Also after becoming an army during YNWA, and getting to know the guys so well over time.. they really give me a feeling of home now. That safe, non-stressful feeling of being home. When I’d go to my exams and be extremely nervous on the way, I’d listen to 2! 3! And it’d help me calm down every time. Love them a lot, as they’ve been there for me every time I needed someone. So much respect towards them! they’re so humble and hardworking, and truly deserve everything good that’s coming their way now.

I would say that besides suga (aka yoongi) with piano none of them are ‘professional’ in instruments though all of them dabble in instruments. Jungkook has been really into drums lately and suga into guitar. Though they have a live band often that tour with them. They all say they want to get really good at instruments for when they can’t dance anymore because they want to continue doing music through their 50s, 60s and beyond.

I really would love to see you react to the series and then the songs from the episode :) That is a great idea!

Suga has red belt in tkd. JK has red-black in tkd. Jimin has black in tkd.

So the songs that Jungkook uses in his Golden Closet Films (GCF) are not BTS songs. I don’t know how you will work the GCF's into your lineup, but they definitely deserve a look. The gcf's are kind of a cross between official content, and a more personal approach. (GCF in Tokyo, was a personal trip to celebrate Jimin's birthday) after Tokyo, GCF became an official content. Jungkook has actually been studying film and editing at University, it’s interesting to see how his style is developing from his first vid (Tokyo) which he shot according to a RU-vid tutorial apparently, to his latest project, the official video for BTS’s song 'Life Goes On'. 💜 Edit: Oh but the song playing in the clip from GCF Helsinki was 'To Each His Own' by Talos~

I loved this stream, and definetly think you should go by oldest songs first! And definetly look into all the lyrics Colour coded lyrics are good to listen to (If there isnt an mv) the music along w the lyrics and see which member is singing, but the translation is often off Doolset bangtan have exteremly accurate translations with korean idiom breakdowns often included if they dont translate well DO be aware though when they first debuted they were 15-19! Their music and lyrics werent always as mature as now, although many still have in depth, creative and motivating meanings 'No More Dream' is their debut song!

SUGA is my all time favorite musician. I found BTS through his solo mixtapes and I think he is one the best producers and songwriters in the industry right now

watching the jimin effect play out will never get old

I’m 60 years old & started to be influenced by my 24 year old daughter to watch them, & I got deeper into learning everything about their music & history. They are truly inspirational, their true friendship & being effortlessly funny makes me happy at all times. Previously I’d say a day without coffee is incomplete, but now, a day without BTS for me is incomplete.

sir BTS will be again tomorrow at the United Nations Assembly for a speech and this Friday the new BTS song with the band Coldplay will be released

When they were talking about KOMCA credits they made a mistake. KOMCA credits only songwriters and composers, not producers. So the numbers are only for songs which they wrote, not produced. Numbers of credits of the members as producers are around 10 songs, except for SUGA - he is producer of 40-50 songs

I also learned to really appreciate and enjoy dancing since I got into Kpop. Never cared about it before but learned that it really has artistic value too! Dancing, formations, creating choreographies, being expressive through dancing can be equaly as impressive and beautiful as singing or playing instruments.

I "discovered" BTS this year.... Literally had no idea who they were, and wasn't really interested. I happened to come across them after my niece mentioned them a few times. The first song I heard was 'Dynamite' (their first fully English song). And, I honestly thought 'it's alright'.... However, a few weeks later, I went down the RU-vid rabbit hole... and, here I still am. LOL... I'm over 40 and I never ever expected to become such a huge fan of this group. However, they and their music continually inspire me. What I love is their emotional resonance, lyricism, and versatility. And, as performers, they are just captivating. I have several BTS playlists for different moods and genres. You can't listen to 1 BTS song, or even 5, and put a label on them or say "oh, I know what this group is about". They will surprise you continuously. With a discography of over 300 songs (as a group + solo material), there is so much to delve into. I'm sure I haven't even heard half their songs. But, as a new fan, that's part of the fun... I keep discovering new material and new sides of them. Also, as people, you're right - they do seem so wholesome and loving and that's so great to see. It makes their fans root for them even more and want them to succeed. Appreciate your reaction and hope that you start getting into their discography soon (including live performances)!

I found BTS last year and I was always just a casual listener to music and never really bothered to know much about the artists. But it was quarantine and I just fell down the rabbit hole, I don't even know how it happened! Then I started grad school which has been the hardest experience of my life so far and it's been a huge help to have BTS' music and content to come and watch to take a break from everything. How hard they worked and how they started out with basically nothing resonated with me and kept me from giving up when I was completely overwhelmed by my program.

lmao the chat is so funny when he stopped n didn't watch the end bit part😂 they are all panicking😂😂😂😂

I always thought I didn't like music - turns out it is just the always repeating, and often times not genuine, just written for the "guaranteed success" lyrics of romance, break up and sex that I don't like. But thanks to BTS I learned that actually, I love music. I love BTS' music, that talks about love for oneself, love for your friends, love for the people around you. Music about finding, understanding and respecting yourself. Music that tackles mental health and growth. That comments on social structures and phenomenons. That shares personal stories and vulnerable thoughts. Music that shares very real hopes, dreams, and fears. Music written with the goal of bringing comfort. I love this kind of music. And I especially love it since it comes from a band that practices what they preach every day. In how they treat others, in what kind of words they share with armys online though commenting on weverse or doing live streams. In the speeches they hold at the UN. It's just so healing. That is really the best word for it. It's healing, and it's wonderful 💜

I discovered BTS after losing my Hubby and my Dad. My life fell apart and i thought I hit rock bottom. I never knew my life would change like this after knowing them. BTS is my happy pill, my escape and my sanctuary amidst the grief, depression and anxiety. I love the music and the lyrics resonate with me sooooo much...especially SPRING DAY and FILM OUT. The best decision I have so far is stanning them.

BTS came into my life when I was really feeling down, felt unwanted, stressed and basically starting to loose it. At first, I only watched because I saw their dynamite dance practise and I was amazed at how graceful they were. I started to listen to their other songs and from then on I just started to love myself a bit more and appreciate the little things I have. I felt they were my boys and was so impressed at how these boys behave themselves, how humble they are and how true they have been in showing us their sincerity and I love them for all these. Their songs are so uplifting and watching their videos and how funny they are, how they care for each other, relieves my stress and gives me hope.

One of my favorite things about watching your reactions is your commentaries and deep insights and I look forward to seeing you diving more into BTS (Be it their music or documentaries). What I can recommend is maybe you can watch "The rise of Bangtan" followed by an album reaction or vice versa because most of the episodes focus to an extent on a single album period/era. This will take a while as BTS have a broad and diverse discography but it will also be fun. Also, the music that you have liked that wasn't by BTS was Talos, an Irish indie singer (indie electronic, indie folkish) and the song was "To each his own". I personally love his work, it is sort of laid back and very nostalgic and raw. His other favorite song of mine is "This is us colliding" check the two out, you will love him for sure!

The part where rm was speaking English was at the UN in 2018. It’s kinda ironic you said you’d like to hear more about them talking at the UN today. 😂

BTS got me through being alone during covid. I’m 72 poor health and had to hold up not go out depressed and BTS CAME I TO MY LIFE. AND they me apart of something their music gave me hope and a purpose to do good. I’ve learned about other people and countries. Gave me 7 kids to love and protect.

The speech RM gave was their first speech at th United Nations. Tomorrow they will speak for a third time at the United Nations, they are apart of the South Korean presidents special envoy. They received diplomatic passports this weekend for the event. We are deeply proud of them. Btw all solo mixtapes are free

thank you so much for this! As an army myself, it's really interesting to see you get into BTS in this way, It kinda reminds me a lot how I got myself here in the first place lol I did the same, I learnt facts about them and their story first then proceded to listen to every single album and understand their message & lyrics! About the Rise of Bangtan Series, I would suggest listening to the music first then watch the respective episode, since each episode follows a chronology of events that happened at the same time of the release of their albums, so there's a lot of background information there that the series provides to songs BTS released, because BTS doesn't ralease music just because, there's certain topics they wrote about based on their personal experiences and I think the series does an amazing job giving info that's pretty much disperse between interviews, livestreams the members did, vlogs or other forms of media! you nice, keep going!

I met BTS at very low point of my life. I watched first Dynamite and DNA MV and those MVs are very bright with up bit energy and this is what I needed at that moment. I became more happy and cheerful person. I am still recovering but from being just someone who has no energy for anything I got much more active and creative. I do not know where would I be without them tbh. I am forever greatful to BTS for everything they do

Ahh watched this on Twitch earlier! I’m so glad to see you reacting to Bangtan again and can’t wait for your weekly videos, Jim! 💜 They are all so talented, inspiring yet goofy and you will discover it all when you start with their various music genres and shows! Personally, its been 6 years since they’ve entered my life and managed to not only change me to become the best version of myself but also to be included in a beautiful community who aims to better the world. I will forever be grateful to them! See you next week! 💜

Jim, I definitely agree with you about the uniqueness of this group - not only in their songwriting, production and performance, but also their friendship and love for each other. *Your enthusiasm for music and art is palpable - love it!!* Yes, you'll get "spoiled" on songs if you watch the series "Rise of Bangtan," so it depends on your preference whether you want to watch it next or hear the songs first. Realize that the series is ongoing, so the creator (a fan who is an industry pro video editor) will continue to make episodes over time. 👍🏻

42:30 I think something that really helps that is the official roles. There is a set leader, set dancers, set vocalists, set visuals, etc. Everybody feels like they have their own job in the group. They don't fight over it because they know what they give to the group. There's also the brotherly relationship they all have with one another. It's really wholesome stuff and they're super humble people. Even so though, they still "fight" with each other. We all do. It's just a natural part of being in a group of people. They aren't perfect and they know that. That's what makes them so relatable as people.

This is the kind of reactor I'm looking for and worth subscribing to. Thank you for your comments and for being open-minded. BTS & ARMY treat each other like family and have mutual respect & supports each other in a spiritual lvl. Something that other companies can never copy even if they try to dissect what it is that makes BTS so global & loved around the world. Anyway, great reaction and insights. I'll wait for more of your reactions on BTS. 😌😌

Whole SUGA's existence revolves around music. He has been rapping and producing since 13 years old. When he had multiple part-time jobs he was working at record studio and was giving MIDI lessons. He was playing piano since very young age. When they've been asked what they would do without BTS and other members answers different jobs, SUGA is always consistent about his answer and says that he will be producer and songwriter even without BTS. Of course he has many different interests like electronics and music equipment, architecture and interior design, painting, ecomonics, psychology and psychoanalysis, piano, guitar, basketball. But his biggest passion is and always will be music. As Jin said "our SUGA, he’s a friend who has an immense passion for music. To the point i wonder if he didn’t become a singer or songwriter/producer, what would he be? Everything surrounding him -hobbies, personal life - is all tuned around music. He’s someone that makes me think: “he looks amazing as a singer, as someone who makes songs.”

Jin's vocals are insane,he is also athletic

okay, i paused the video to write this, but i’m unsure how to go about writing it all down. i can honestly say that bts has saved my life countless times - i have anxiety and it has been causing me some depressive episodes, exarcebada by quarantine and the state of the world. but it is not only now that bts has been having a positive impact on me because (shocker) i’ve had anxiety for most of my life. when i was thirteen years old, that’s when i first heard about them (in 2013-2014), i was going through a tough time in middle school with all of these fears of the future and this ever-growing pressure to always perform the best, be the best. i think i can pin-point it as the moment when my anxiety started to worsen. no more dream and n.o had a huge impact on my pre-teen years as a result of the situation i was in and their lyrics, tomorrow, nevermind etc continued to comfort me even in high school - when pressure got even worse. when agust d was released and i first heard the last, it felt like someone understood me, someone knew how tough just going through life is. i don’t mean to be over-dramatic, but during those difficult moments, bts was a light that continued to warm me. and it went beyond their music, whenever i feel myself getting “too down”, i put on one of their variety shows, just to make myself laugh a little more. so, that’s the impact it has had on me.

I found BTS during the pandemic and at first it was just curiosity but as I grew to understand the seven members personalities and their dynamic as a group I really became a fan. A lot of their lyrics really hit home for me but I got stuck on their "Love Yourself" era and found the whole experience really therapeutic. As far fetched or cheesy as it may sound, I stumbled upon the song Epiphany which is actually a solo track featuring Jin and I, myself had an epiphany. The song kind of pushed me to explore the relationship I was in and the effect it was having on me. Basically that's the watered down story of how BTS helped me to leave an abusive relationship and I've been a loyal fan to them since.

BTS is not just incredible music with lyrics that touch on so many topics (like adolescence, mental health, love, etc) but also they are always connected with army. BTS to me is not just music, they're home. No matter how bad I feel or how shitty my day was, I always know for sure they'll make me feel understood and so much better in an instant.

To be honest, I didn't always view BTS the way I view them now. I started watching their videos in 2015 because of a close high school friend of mine, and quickly became obsessed. I admired their talent, and really enjoyed getting to know who they were as idols as well as individuals throughout their bangtan bombs and BTS RUN episodes. It wasn't until these past few years that I really started realizing how much of an impact they had on my life. Getting older is a difficult thing to do, but it put me at ease knowing that the youngest member, Jungkook, was also going through the same thing I was seeing as he is less than a year older than I am. Obviously, he, and all of the members, has had to overcome so many more hurtles in life than I have, but I got comfort watching them work through every obstacle and succeed astronomically. Their overall messages and lyrics draw out more emotion from me than anything else ever has, and it has really brought me closer to realizing who I am and what I might be capable of. Depression and anxiety don't just go away on their own, but I feel like I can speak for most of us ARMY that might be struggling mentally by saying that BTS as a whole have showed us what it really means to love ourselves. It goes without saying that those feelings of hatred and helplessness don't just vanish because you want them to, but it is nice to know that someone out there cares, and will always love us even if we don't love ourselves.

I want to say I was like you 3 years ago. My now 13 year old daughter was obsessed with BTS 4 years ago, I just could not get into what she was playing then she became more obsessed and then I started looking into them to see what about them had her hooked. After I watched series like you just did, I started watching them on Run BTS and there V lives and Bon Voyage.They truly love one another and look out for one another they have mentioned several times that they are brothers and a family. Watching these young men and getting to know there personality’s and how humble they all are. That is when I started really listening to there music and reading the lyrics, the messages and meanings behind there songs.I have turned my 4 and 11 year old nieces into ARMY and my 64 year old mother! I just want to say welcome to discovering BTS!!

this is why i love'em. their music really comforted me, they always have a deep and heavy message in their songs. the fact that their debut song is talking about education system, talking about the boomer, talking about kids who use their parent's money for being trendy in fashion, about capitalism (strange by suga ft. RM on suga's mixstape), about loving myself, etc wich is the more i respect these guys. they talking real shit, not the one who only have a catchy beats nor who only write 2 or 3 words and use a recycle beat. they try any genre of music. and for me the more important things is how they love and treat their fans. i think its the reason why they have a loyal fans. they always mention our name when they winning an awards or anything, they never forget to thanks to army, they shows how they love the fans not only when they speech but also putting our name on their mv and lyrics. idk its just amazing for me. btw, love ur reaction! im exited for another video!!

They are brothers in the true sense of the word. They may not be blood brothers but they have each others' back. They have been living together and spend majority of their time together, although they have their own homes they prefer to be together. And despite the heights of fame and success that they have achieved, they remain humble and grateful. They speak about mental health, loving oneself and empowerment. Their live performances are top tier so you might want to check their awards performance (MMA 2017-2020, MAMA 2017-20). When I first encountered them, like you, I was skeptical and also thought it was packaging and marketing (am old too hence the cynicism) but I was happy to be proven wrong . More than just their talent in music, they are genuine and kind. All of those who have worked with them over the years or met them attest to this. In a few hours, they will be addressing the United Nations General Assembly as special presidential envoys (diplomats) of South Korea . Their journey has been a joy to witness. We are witnessing history and I for one am grateful to be alive in the time of BTS. Hope you get into their music soon. Will watch out for your reactions to their music.

Singularity always hypnotized people 😂

Since pandemic, I had nothing to do. I just found BTS this year and I've been learning a lot about them and I think I am no longer a "baby" ARMY. I've watched almost all Run BTS episodes, Bon Voyage, In The Soop and other videos of them and about them like reaction videos, etc. They actually inspired me to do something in my life. Well, for now, I got nowhere yet but at least I, now, have a motivation to actually do something with my life. Maybe start after the world became a better place to be going out - after the pandemic is a little bit less dangerous. Because of BTS's messages, I'd want to be better. And one day if I am settled with my life, I'd want to go to at least one of their concerts. And maybe get a chance to meet them in a fan signing event and thank them for all the inspiration. 💜💜💜 Every time I feel down, their song *Magic Shop* is my comfort song. Especially V's part that goes: "Would you believe that I, too, was afraid of everything. All the time left..." I can feel while listening to his voice and reading the translation. Because right now, I felt like there is no more time to start doing something with my life. Like, I've wasted my time doing nothing and I can't do anything to bring back my youth to actually do something meaningful. But after hearing those words from the song, it actually made me think that maybe, it's never too late for me too. It's a long message but I'd comment it anyway.

they literally saved me and changed my life course. there is a saying that bts come to ur life when u need them the most and it was for me. i found them when i was suicidal, confused with my life path, career path, having no dream. it was the darkest time for me. then, they teached me to just be me, its okay to not have a dream, dont have to follow others path, just do me. so, i changed my career path, from chemical engineering (what my parent want) to a vet (what i love). bout the docu series, i think u can do it both. saw another utuber listen to their album and watch the docu series, listen another album, watch the series and cont... if u want to see more of their dynamic, i recommend to watch "bts is soulmate" or "how bts changed each other-8 years with bts"

I'm a 68 per old 💜ARMY💜 and they got me thru the pandemic in a healthy way ! I 💜 our boys !

I AM AN 81 YR OLD ARMY. THEY SAVED MY LIFE. HAD AN ILLNESS THAT KEPT ME HOUSEBOUND. STARTED LISTENING TO THEM AND THEIR MESSAGE AND FELL DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE. DEPRESSION DISAPPEARED. CAN'T GET ENOUGH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR APPROACH TO THEM. KEEP GOING.

I like your reaction 😍 Suga my fav he’s best influence.. genius.. songwriter.. producer..composer.. multitalented..masterpiece.. king swag.. rap god.. fast rapper.. korean eminem 😍🥰🔥🤩💜

*Run BTS* are like variety shows exclusive for BTS. *Bon Voyage* is like a vlog of BTS travelling to different parts of the world. For now, they have 4 seasons and each season has 8 episodes with like an hour long each. *In The Soop* is a show where BTS stayed at a house doing different stuff like vacation. They did it instead of Bon Voyage during pandemic since it's safer that way. It's basically just watching them do whatever they want. It's best to get to know them even more. I am hoping to see you react to Run BTS soon. It's actually the best way to get to know them more and enjoy at the same time. It is so much fun watching them.

RM is peaking in UN and they are invited to speak in the UN this week

I am 72 years old, an American woman living in Europe for the last 30+ years. I am in physical pain 24 hours of every day due to malignant cancer which I survived from 2001 until now. I watch something related to BTS every single day because they bring me joy...and joy reduces pain.

the distorted voice in the song at 20:31 is on purpose. it goes with the lyrics of that particular verse. The song is called Shadow, a solo song by Suga where he talks about his inner voice/demon or shadow. the lyrics of that particular verse with the distorted voice is basically his shadow 'talking' to Suga hence the heavy use of effect on the voice for that part. Regarding their lyrics....while their early albums have quite a lot of love songs, their albums starting from The Most Beautiful Moment In Life have a lot of deep songs about mental health, loving oneself, etc. But their early songs have interesting deep lyrics too that talks about socio-economic, status quo, etc. A lot of their songs that seems like about typical woman-man love relationship are actually about ARMY or the members' friendship and brotherhood. They have songs that are mainly dedicated for ARMY. The rapline song that you thought is about love (the song is called Outro: Tear) is actually about the members themselves. Suga wrote the song when they're on the verge of disbandment. If you listen to their music from the beginning, you will be able to see how they evolve, grow and mature, not just musically but also lyrically and the message in their songs. If you want to react to their songs, you can watch the color-coded lyrics to know who sings which part but usually the translation on the color-coded lyrics are inaccurate. for the more accurate lyrics, you can refer to Doolset Bangtan as she gives a good explanation on the cultural references and wordplays in the lyrics. In terms of performance, BTS is very different than other K-pop group or any other artists and bands in the whole industry/world. if other artists or bands gives 100% for their live performance, BTS gives 2000% for their performance. Their performance on MMA and MAMA are the proof. I highly recommend you to watch these performances especially MMA 2019, nothing can or ever will be able to beat this performance. MMA and MAMA are music award shows in S.Korea but you will find out when you watch BTS' performances at these award shows that they literally turned the award shows into their mini-BTS concert. It's spectacular. After watching MMA 2019, performances from other artists/bands just seems so bland and not exciting for me. The Rise of Bangtan have Deleted Scenes and Bonus content in separate video so hopefully you can watch both together with the main docu video. Great reaction btw 👍

I am a 75 Y/o woman. Learning about BTS has given me so much. Literally gotten me through the two years of quarantine dur8ng the pandemic. They give me hope for the future of our youth, our world. Their journey inspired, lifts and gives comfort through their music. They give me insentative to help make this world global and caring. I will not die until I can see them in concert. They are uplifting and positive influence, no matter your age. Enjoy!

I want to thank you for all the effort that you're doing to know about BTS and their messages and why they do it and correcting your past comment by learning the facts about what and who the army is and why we are the family we are

The are speaking at UN this week

“BTS finds us when we need them most” that’s what most of us in the Fandom say. We found BTS in a dark time in our lives and their music, their messages, their wholesomeness have helped many of us keep going, and aspire to better ourselves. I would love to watch you watch the documentary series and react to the mentioned songs afterwards, but there are also a lot of special projects on the side or special appearances that I’m sure others have suggested to you to react to. I’m glad to be on this journey with you and experience you getting to know them and their music

you should watch “Who is BTS?” I think that guide gives a little more of their personalities, it may be older but it’s really good 👍🏻

I really really like the mindset you have. Even if you don't like every single song BTS has ever put out that's completely fine and normal, everyone has different tastes. You can still respect and acknowledge what they stand for and how much they mean to each and everyone of their fans. Be respectful, then we will be too. I just wish more people would think like you 💜

The chat going crazy telling you to keep watching is so funny 😭😂😂😂

Thanks for doing this. I really needed the full video sense I missed a lot because of RU-vid. Have a fantastic day and I can't wait for your next video haha your Entertaining to watch and I also learn a from your every day videos. Edit: for the music I highly recommend you to wait for the "rise of bangtan" that might be the LAST thing you will do. Reactors first learn about them and then listen to the music and then at the very end the rise of bangtan is good, I just want you to have a good idea about the members and can be able to tell them apart before anything else. I recommend doing a song separately sense every song has a different message. But ig you want to do the rise of bangtan I highly recommend doing it, it's really good and not only it touches on a little bit of the kpop culture but also how bts started and now. It's amazing. I also highly recommend doing "from nobodys to legends" by xcelest. And then a shorter one "bts crash course" which touches more on there inside of music and how there music massage progresses over the years. Can't wait what you choose to do next. Last edit lol: PLS DO the documentary by xcelest "introduction to se seven members of bangtan". I think both videos are different and xcelest videos touches on some stuff that this video didn't. I hope you have time and if you don't it's ok maybe you can watch it on your own.

Omg, I was waiting for this

one thing is for sure, you'll find BTS when you are supposed to, and when you need them the most.

I think you should either watch The Rise of Bangtan and then after each episode, listen to the music played during that specific episode (they have the titles and albums shown in the corners of the video) and the other tracks on the corresponding albums or you can do it the other way around and then focus on reading the lyrics and finding your own meaning before hearing the sound. Doing it the first way (in my opinion) would be easier since you haven't been exposed to much of their discography and it's a great way to follow their journey and growth as they created each album. Whichever or whatever way you do it, I'll be here for it all.

the chat dying at the end to make him play one more minute of the video 😂 i started out watching like 'chill guys' and then the longer he ignored the chat, the more frustrated i became on their behalf 😂😂

They love music, their fans and consider each other as family.

I can’t wait for your full BTS album reviews!! Thank you for this reaction!! 💜

BTS helped me through my depression and anxiety issues and just being able to accept myself for who I am and not feeling bad about myself. They truly are the reason I’m still here.

I am 21 and last year my grandfather died. He was ill for a long time so therefore it was kinda of a little relieve for him bc he was suffering a lot..but none the less i miss him more than i can say. But my grandmother was (also bc of his illness) very attached to him and i wanted to help her get thru it better...so i wasn't crying or grieving. But in the end i couldn't stop crying the second i was lying in my bed alone. I also couldn't find any sleep until i decided to listen to spring day (u know what the song is about so i don't think i have to tell u why i chose that song...) I was asleep before the song even ended. Their voices and the feeling i got when listening to the song calmed me in a few minutes after loosing one of the people i loved most on this planet...in the morning i woke up and couldn't believe that a simple song did that to me...in the end i decided that i also want that! I wanna be part of making music and making ppl feel the way i did that night! Fell everything lifted off of ur shoulders when the first note starts to ring. I matriculated another field of study and now i am studying to once work at a label. They did not just change my way and style of talking (to the better!) but made me rethink my life choices bc of the way they affected me during those days! And till today i don't regret any changes i made bc of them!

i just love watching your journey, great analysis and reaction!

You mentioned their friendship and that they build each other up and how you wished you had friends like that. I actually changed how I view relationships with friends and family because of bts. They make me want to be a better person.
