BTS (방탄소년단) MEDLEY LIVE PERFORMANCE - Reaction 

I'm so sorry {{{hug}}}

@@athelas5305 Thank you 😭😂💜

Hi! I'm a new ARMY. Where can I buy a concert DVD?

@@mac9822 The weverse shop app. Both weverse and weverse shop are apps and websites that every ARMY should have access to! Just look on the app store 💜

That is me

@@athelas5305 Really? How was getting into them like for you?

​@@icybird9999 I loved music when I was young and into my 20s, but as the music scene changed I didn't find anything that really resonated with me. I knew nothing about Korean music and had pretty preconceived notions about what Kpop was. I was aware of the political work of Kpop fans of subverting racist hashtags and ruining the Trump rally, so I at least felt good about them but had never heard of BTS (only Blackpink). Someone I follow on twitter wrote, "Come on guys we GOTTA get to 301 views. #DynamiteTo301V" so I thought I'd help what I assumed was a young up & coming artist 😂 I was immediately intrigued with all the MJ references (I saw him in his prime, so I recognized them all) and thought I'd watch 1 more MV. Because it was just before going back to school (I teach) I had the time to go deep down the rabbit hole. In the 10 days before the VMAs I already knew many of the memes and had seen almost all of their official MVs. But the most important things was at a time when I felt the country was a disaster and I was feeling almost hopeless, they gave me the will to keep fighting. I am now a significantly happier person who spreads more happiness than I was on August 19, 2020. When did you discover BTS?

@@athelas5305 Asking me when I started listening to BTS is like asking my whole life story 😅. So, first things first, I turned 18 in 2020 (practically a baby, I know) but I started listening to Kpop, unknowingly, at the age of 5 because of my aunt who’s two years older than me (I know, it’s weird). Since we were always watching YT, it introduced us to anime, kpop, and a bunch of other things. I personally liked Girl’s Day and SNSD. When I got to 3rd grade, I had to move away due to my mom transferring schools (she’s a teacher as well), and being separated from my aunt means that I got separated from Kpop. Flash forward a few years later, and I meet my best friend in 6th grade, and she reintroduced me to anime and all the things I used to like. She tried to get me into BTS, and I vividly remember her showing me their 2nd muster photo. I took one long look at the photo, and said “ I don’t want to listen to a bunch of Asian Justin Biebers”. As you may be able to see, I had a deep rooted disgust for anything related to teenage boys and music. I stayed away from all sorts of groups like NSYNC, 1D, and Super Junior simply because of the stigmatization against things that a “typical teenage girl” would like. I had labeled myself as a tomboy, and that’s how things were going to stay. One last flash forward to 8th grade, where I was scrolling through YT. I saw that Lily Singh (I really did admire her at the time) had posted a video reacting to an MV. I automatically clicked on it and then realized that it was BS&T. I figured, if I was going to give them a chance, I should give them a fair one, as Lily usually edited down the vids for copyright. I watched that video and my life hasn’t been the same since. Since April 2, it’s been 4 years since I first watched them, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. P.S. -started converting my classmates to the dark side whenever I had the chance, so I became my middle school’s official Kpop head. Even got the title in the school year book.

@@icybird9999 I love that story! Thank you for sharing it. And I would have reacted similarly to 2013, 2014 BTS had I been exposed to them, I'm sorry to say. Also, my dad was older than his uncle, so I get you and your aunt 😁

Ikr 😼
