BTS (방탄소년단) Melon Music Awards 2019 | Full Performance - REACTION!!! 

People who say BTS is overrated are either in denial or have just never seen them perform live

A reporter once talked about how they were supposed to interview them backstage after a performance but they literally were using oxygen masks so they felt bad about asking them questions. They give it their all

fun fact: this performance took three months of preparation !!

"They weren't even supposed to perform tonight"😂

I don’t think the camera people and audience at the game or people watching the super bowel from home can handle BTS doing the halftime show, especially if they go all out like they did at this award show and if they got to do it they definitely go all out because they don’t do anything smell

"What if they send a real horse...?" Me: "Boy, do I have NEWS for YOU."

By the way the horses are pre recorded so they wouldn't be hurt by the sound!

i was hoping you guys would do a reaction for this performance. this was the first time i saw bts perform at an award show and tbh the grammys are gonna wish they didn't snub bts because they absolutely killed it here.

I was lucky enough to see BTS at Wembley stadium in London both nights in June & it was the best two concert nights of my life! And I've been to A LOT of gigs in the last 20 yrs (I'm 40!)! Their performance level is out of this world & I assure u that their stadium shows are just as spectacular, if not more (tho no horses or other live animals! ;-) They actually borrowed some staging frm their tour for this performance so u can just imagine! I can't wait for their next album & tour. Idc how much it costs, it's so worth it!

BTS dropped huge CB hints for their next album in the “Dionysus” performance at the end. The album was inspired by Carl Jung’s theories on Individuation. Jung believed Dionysus was the connection btwn persona-shadow-ego (see writing of persona-shadow-ego on wall in RM intro Persona Performance). Dionysus=focus on the individual (in jung’s terms), therefore I.e. each member got a solo stage. Mythological archetypes for each members intro - Taehyung: Apollo, Jin: Aries, Jimin: Artemis, Suga: Hades, Jungkook: Poseidon, Hobi: Zeus, RM: Dionysus. Research and the horses and maidens onstage are all tied to Dionysus. The 7 lights when joined forms The Crown of Ariadne (named after Dionysus’ wife and after she died he made it into a constellation). So we’ll have to see how it transpires when they release their next album, most likely titled ‘shadow’! And @24:34 aw Greg I saw you wipe those tears:)) Understandable. Jimin is a beautiful and elegant dancer!!

Wow, Jimin took the soul out of the guy on the left. I mean... same.

"a 40 minute performance at an AWARD SHOW???" well they did literally got ALL the major awards there. so. justified I think :D

Jimin was the top student in his school for contemporary dance.

The concerts are impressive. They don’t prepare such theatrical setting like this but the sets are amazing, super professional, although it’s the same performance every day feels different. Plus the crowd. It’s amazing

10:43 Those are TXT 😁 they're BTS's baby brother group at their company (there should be 5 of them, but 3 are actually too baby and they can't stay on programs after 10pm I think, so 2 were left at that point 😂)

“that was a religious experience”

“Holy crap where are they standing?” “In the middle of the universe Gregg” IM LIVING FOR THAT😭😭😭😂😂😂

Jimin actually went to contemporary dance school a while ago and was top of his class

The Microkosmos part, is CGI because it was filmed earlier, it gives them time to change between Boy with Love and the End Performance. Also, each of them has a unique colored Mic and Ear Piece

Yes, they meet some of their fans. Those who are lucky enough to go can attend fan meets.

Want to buy a Kia? They are brand ambassadors for the Hyundai Palisade 😂😂😂. Loving you reactions 💜

"I can't believe they improvised all of this!" LMFAO

“They do not smoke weed” lmaoooo I can’t

I don't know about Star Wars but I do know all BTS members are HUGE MARVEL fans!! They even went to watch Endgame on opening night in the middle of busy schedules😂

Bts: Say what you want, say what you want Nobody: Greg: I want YOU! LMFAOOOOOO 9:50

The solo stages and parts between mikrocosmos and dionysus are all to snatches of some of their biggest hits

I loved how surprised Greg was when Jimin did his solo stage. Jimin trained as a contemporary dancer and was the top in his performing high school class. Of all of BTS, he has the widest array of dance skills. His performance brought me to tears.

Natalie Doran can't travel for the holidays because she's funding all of your good BTS videos! Thank you, Natalie!!

I love how it starts like 'let's check out this group' and after a while you are an A.R.M.Y. Once you jimIN you can't jimOUT.

Tae: "Apollo" god of the sun Jin: "Ares" god of the war Jimin: "Artemis" god of the moon Yoongi: "Hephaestus" god of the fire Jungkook: "Poseidon" god of the water J-Hope: "Zeus" god of the thunder Namjoon: "Dionysus" god of the whine (got this information from a comment under the MMA video) Everyone had a background song that fitted them. Mindblowing performance (especially for an award show). Loved the traditional clothes etc. Nobody can denie that BTS puts a lot of time and effort to realize their dreams. It's just breathtaking

one thing is for sure, bts are among those very rare artists who deserve literally every drop of fame and acclaim that comes their way. truly, i look at them and every time i feel so glad and happy that people like them are succeeding. so good to see.

BTS planned and coordinated all the preparations for all these MMA stages for 3 months inspite of being on tour and all the other schedules...I just get mind blown and go WOW whenever BTS does something. You can see how detailed they r and how much effort and their genius they put in everything they do. The sincerity, the obvious skills, the genius really comes through. And yes BTS's stadium tour this year was out of this world.

Yesss. I mean, how can this not be the performance of the year or decade? Enjoyed your reactions 😆 Jimin doing this type of dancing is because he has had a contemporary dance background as well as popping and locking, and martial arts in which he may have learned to do that flip. Anyway, throughout the performance are some of the songs they’ve done over the years. I don’t remember which ones you’ve reacted to before, but I think there’s a music video for almost all of them. 1. RM doing “Intro: Persona” and the music video is titled “Map of the Soul: Persona ‘Persona’ Comeback Trailer” 2. Boy In Luv mv 3. Boy With Luv mv 4. Mikrokosmos - no mv, but there’s a lyric video if you’re interested 5. V’s solo to instrumental remix to “No More Dream” and there’s a mv (this is their debut song/first single as BTS in 2013!) 6. Jin’s solo to instrum. remix to “Danger” (2014) which has a mv, but I actually think the dance practice is worth watching too. 7. Jimin’s solo to instrum. piano/strings version of “I Need U” (2015) has a mv. Billboard listed this as one of the songs that define a decade or something? Someone correct me. 8. Suga’s solo to instrum. remix “Fire” (2016) which I think you reacted to already. 9. Jungkook’s solo to instrum. remix “Save Me” (2016) and there’s a mv. Actually, if you watch this mv, the making of the mv is also interesting. Weather was not their friend lol. 10. RM and all of BTS perform “Dionysus” (2019), transitions to and out of “N.O” (2013) with some extended dubstep mix, and back into finishing of “Dionysus.” I don’t remember if you’ve reacted to it already, but they have the dance practice for it and also the live comeback stage performance of it. No mv.

They won 8 awards before this performance. 5 of the Dasaengs, Grand awards. I still can't believe it was just an award show.😉 I've been to 3 of their concerts in Chicago. My best tickets where I could make them out easily with the naked eye, but not there facial expressions, was $400 at a resellers. Front rows seats I've seen go for over $1,000. I hope you get to go someday. It really is amazing. You're on a high for weeks afterwards. 💜

MUSIC AWARD FEELS LIKE BTS CONCERT. Guys, you have to watch BTS movie "BURN THE STAGE" or BANGTAN BOMB'S VIDEOS to know how they change their clothes. The power of Bighit team.

Korean award shows have camera work, set designs, and pyro down to a science. I mean theyre not perfect for sure there has been lots if time when mics cut out and cameras didnt catch the best part but for the most part they are tiers above american ones. And if a major award show like mma or mama had something go wrong they'd be in some serious hot water.

“I was on the verge of tears tbh..” 🙏🏼😌 ... Jimin did that.

well to be honest. They do run on treadmill and practice singing to have breath control. They've mentioned it before haha There's a performance explanation that no one asked for : Bts like to do this thing where they keep hints of their next album in their performance . The introduction video is hinting at their next album . Their album Map of the soul: persona is inspired by Jung's map of the soul where Jung divides the human personality into different masks . They're focusing on Shadow,ego and persona. So the introduction is probably a hint to their new album Map of the soul:shadow with how all the shadows were walking whole they were sleeping. They performed boy in luv which was a song from 2014 trying to represent young love and right after its sequel boy with love that shows their mature outlook towards love. The mikocosmos was not actually just cgi but hologram that they had set up for the live performance ( it was pre-recorded but that just means they performed live to the audience just before the show started. ) The texts being shown actually says "I love you" in different languages. The Dionysus performance: The horn at the start represents Dionysius Each member is acting as a Greek god V - Apollo God of sun Jin -Ares God of war Jimin- forgot the name but God of Moon Suga -Hephaestus god of fire Jungkook-Posideon god of water Jhope- zesus god of lighting And finally my boy RM - Dionysus (holding his famous staff that is supposed to produce unlimited wine) The light bulbs coming down to make a constellation represents the Corona Borealis a crown Dionysus gives to his wife Ariadne which he later places to the sky. The ladies throwing flower petals are creating a pathway to her coronation. Finally horses (That scene too was pre-recorded since it wouldn't be good for horses to be on the stage where there is so much fireworks and noise). The man in the middle is wearing a mask is Demaratus who exhiled by the King of Sparta and wears a veil as a show of anger to the King that defied him ( probably a subtle shade to the big companies that try to bring bts down but you never know )

love that greg teared up at jimin’s solo. it was a beautiful performance

I'm glad you finally did this!! They practiced for THREE MONTHS for this performance, they honestly killed it. It's the best performance I've ever seen tbh. Also, don't worry, Jimin's I NEED U contemporary dance solo also made me tear up.

So glad to see you guys enjoying it. Speaking of superheroes, they do have a fun song about being modern day superheroes called Anpanman which is a reference to a japanese superhero thats made of bread. And saves kids by feeding them bread from his head 😁

Jimin is a contemporary dance major and was the top student of his arts school, his talent is on another level. I would love to see you guys react to more performances by him

I'm officially stannin NATALIE now!

Some parts were actually prerecorded so they dodn't have to quick change. But while the footage was playing, they were on stage singing

After this this performance, a few days later they perform at MAMA award with great performance too. Please check them out too. BTS at MAMA award 2019. Thank you for your reaction.

But no seriously, there are medics on standby on their shows, although I think it's standard procedure for the venue (but not sure lol). We were on the standing area for their Hong Kong Love Yourself Tour, and every now and then, medics would come with wheelchairs to escort out people who've fainted or fallen ill in the middle of the concert. But I think it has more to do with the exhaustion of the actual day (especially if they've lined up for the merch beforehand), rather than actually seeing the boys. But. I have to say that you really have to see them live, even if you're just a bit of a fan. You won't regret it, I promise. It's just that you'll have to fight for your tickets if you want good seats 😂😂😂

I watched this performance live on YT, and I was so shook and speechless I couldn't calm down for a whole week.

GREG:"Where are they standing? " AOKI LOOKALIKE:in the middle of the universe greg!.. their rightful place!!" Love it!!😀😁love you!!

" after that they took a 30 min power nap and then back to work" Well, if it is bts then that's possible.

Jimin was the top student of his contemporary dance school that his teacher paid for him to be there 🥰💜💜💜💜

8:58 "The BTS Awards!" XD I mean..... he wasn't wrong lol they won 8 awards including all 4 Daesangs

They each represent a different Greek god in their solo performance.

“they weren’t even supposed to perform tonight” 😂

They do meet their fans (face to face) actually at fan-meet events. Basically the boys sit at a table and the fans go down the row talking to them, giving them gifts, and getting autographs. Only a certain amount of people can go tho (obviously, otherwise we get the “killed by accident” or sitting for 10 hrs problem) so getting in/getting tickets is pretty difficult 😂😂

Loved this reaction, you had me laughing throughout! And yes it’s definitely one of their best performances ever. Dionysus is the hypest song it’s impossible not to headbang while listening to it! And yes John, if they come back to LA next year you have to go! I have loved watching you guys slowly become armys, it’s been lovely.

YEEES I WAS WAITING FOR THIS,need popcorn tho 🍿🍿🍿

Bts even said in vlive (after grammy's end) that their performance is cool too why they can't get their solo stage. When i heard that. I cried because they are definitely can give 2 times better performance than entire grammy's performer

I remember at the end of me watching this I was like western award shows could never I’m sorry whatttt that was a PERFORMANCE 👏🙌 also I hope you guys get to see them live one day because it would be something y’all will never forget loved the reaction 💜

NATALIE DORAN YOU AMAZING HUMAN YOU!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

"This was a religious experience."

You guys are giving me a mystery science theater vibe with your comments. Love it. Keep up the good work.

Oh annnnnd BTS announced their next tour will start April 2000. As for concert experience you scream and sing along and loose most of your voice. And concert amnesia is a real thing where you straight up forget parts/songs due to being extremely overwhelmed and excited.

24:34 he’s like every Jimin stans after watching that dance (tbh, im not even Jimin stan but i still burst into tears watching him dance)

Natalie Doran is a legend👌🏻

Omfg so excited!!!!!

All the Grammy voters need to watch this performance.

One thing i adore about the reel rejects is your final thoughts/ commentary at the end.....the only thing missing was that we never caught your favorite/standout moments, Greg and John! What was your fav bit?

i went to a concert in their last tour and let me tell u many people faint like seriously and it was so loud so loud i felt like my head was going to explode but their concert is unreal they perform for like almost 3 hours straight and the lighting is so pretty especially because of the sea of army bombs

When he said he joined the army for BTS I laughed then I got so sad bcs I remembered Jin and yoongi having to serve there time in the Army starting this year 😟😔😔😢 but for those two years they’re gone we’ll always have them in our thoughts like I’m tearing up even thinking abt the group not being whole for so long........ great now I’m crying goddamn u Greg and your emotion envoking jokes😬✊🏾

I live for the days when TRR reacts to BTS

I was hoping you guys would react to this, thank you!!! 💜 Btw: 🔹Intro Persona: what you see is prerecorded but RM did perform live for the actual audience 🔸Boy In Luv & Boy With Luv: Completely Live. 🔹Mikrokosmos: completely prerecorded. So the audience watched it on the screen. This explains all of the AR effects! Basically BTS were performing for an imaginary audience 😂 Having a prerecorded performance gives the boys time to change outfits and prepare for the grand finale performance! 🔸Dionysus: the members intros that you see were prerecorded but they also did perform it live for the audience with the exception of Jimin. His solo was completely live. RM's part was also completely live as well. The horses were prerecorded. They werent on stage during the actual performance 😅🙏🏼. The actual Dionysus song and dance break was performed completely live!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

this was a delight. you guys are a delight im always laughing along with y’all. Thanks for the reaction! Btw Greg, Jimin is a trained contemporary dancer and was top of his class! Glad you got to see this side of him!

40:03 "They are the equivalent of superheros in my mind" that's why they wrote Anpanman

Thank you Natalie for this!!!

I love how everyone agrees Jhope is having a blast or just happy

Rewatching this performance makes my heart beat again

Actualy it took 3 months! The behind of this was released on an article. It was a whole 3 mnth preparation with more than 700 ppl involved in it. They evn customly made the water tank for jungkook and more than 30 costumes and everything😇

BTS is the most awarded artist that night in MMA, i am still surprised they get 37 mins performance .. so crazyy

This an opera level production for one performance! Operas use the same set for years.

Thank you for making the screen large enough to actually appreciate the images.

Jungkook does run and sing on the treadmill.

nice reaction! you know, I noticed that many times you guys made comments like “you know they do this without vocal warmups” or stuff like that, that I know are only jokes...but the thing is, that’s not how the fanbase thinks of them or even likes to think of them. they’re not perfect, they’re human like the rest of us...part of the reason why we love them so much is because they work *so* insanely hard at their craft: from singing, dancing, performing, composing and writing music. they absolutely *do* do vocal warmups and stretching, and it’s the reason why they got this far and became so good at what they do. I know it’s a little thing and that you guys are only joking, but it’s something to keep in mind! Acting like they’re perfect only invalidates the years of hard work they’ve gone through 😊

V's growl in boy in luv is such a turn on..

yass, finally, I've been waiting for this... thank u so much for this reaction! This performance really was insane, but then again it's BTS so...they are not just K-POP anymore - they are on whole another level, no one's doing it like them ;))

16:37 "Crap, where are they standing?" "They're standing in the middle of the universe, Greg. Their rightful place." :')

"I want you- all of you". Feel you! I SO enjoy seeing you giddy and happy about this performance!! Saw them live in june and it was hands down the best consert I've ever seen!(40y old) ✌️🇫🇮

boys i made a powerpoint presentation on them and their album trilogy for my music world class in school (thats basically just about the messages in music and their impact on the world, as well as the artists, its like therapy)

Wow...this is crazy.. this is art..don't they? 😱😱

When he said a BTS Dance Central game... I was like , YES!!! Would so get it and that thing would sell out for sure.

I loved their MMA performance so much. I always cry at this specific Mikrokosmos performance too, the song has such a special place in my heart and seeing it performed like that is just too much for my feels to handle.

Yes, it's like a mini BTS concert at an award show. One word, AMAZING performance as usual.

Headbanging to BTS is a real thing.

Did you see the light bulbs coming down? At the end is a constellation.i think is aquarius but I'm not sure...each one is a star. So nothing it's casual here in the BTS universe. Amazing.

I love watching y’all. It’s so much fun

When I first watched this I was so shocked the entire time lol. Can’t even imagine how much work went into this performance, they killed it. Definitely the performance of the year; not the lifetime cause I’m sure they’ll outdo themselves next year 🤣

I just love your reactions! 😍😍😍

You two crack me up. Love the sense of humor. 💜

Always love your reactions! BTS definitely owned the stage!!

Honestly same I was overwhelmed I remember watching it live. I felt exhausted and I wasnt even doing anything but watch lmao
