BTS - DNA / AMA PERFORMANCE KOREAN REACTION 

Our new virtual date video : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vnhg_C2nf6E.html Join in on our HUGE GIVEAWAY! : kreators.info/dkdktv-150k-subbies-giveaway/

there were around 4k (the venue had 7k seats) army at the AMAs, but the staff muted most of them on the broadcast so you can hear the song better, cause it was deafning. i recomend watching some fancams, us army learned the korean fanchant and chanted along. also the seats in the front are vip zone, when bts was announced to perform all army snatched all the remaining 4k tickets out of 7k. cause if you look again not absolutly everyone in the front zone were jumping.

the fanchants were muted bcs it was too loud lmao watch some fancams and u will clearly hear the fans

When you were discussing the english I completely agree. I do want to point out that Yoongi is very very good at understanding english, he just can't speak it well. Also you mentioned that they dumbed down the interviews, I couldn't agree more. ARMY were going insane, so over some of the questions, however there was 1 outstanding interview that BTS even retweeted. The only interview they have retweeted. Here's the link if you wanna react/ watch ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-STLDAdhuLzc.html

This is their official televised debut though they performed in JIMMY KIMMEL but its yet to be aired.... Guys check out the FANCHANTS video they were very loud, in the actual video they have muted the FAN CHANTS cause they were sooo LOUUUUDDD damn!!! As you guys say its definitely better if they improve their ENGLISH but not necessarily making a FULL ENGLISH song though... anyways thanks for the reaction guys

This was their American debut, the fan chants were actually so much louder the whole arena could hear it but their muted it out so you could only partially hear the fans during their singing. I think there was up to 4K fans that went

the arena had 7,000 tickets available and they had sold around 3k and then BTS was announced to perform and then the rest of the 4k was sold out lmao. so roughly around 4,000 armys lmao. they were pretty scattered throughout.

Americans gave them a lot of backlash for lipsyncing some saying they "dont see the hype" which is irritating because an amazing performance can convert even the strongest kpop skeptics.... BUT this performance was BTS big break and their big shot to make as much impact as possible - First impression is important! They did all their preparation and rehearsal, it’s a shame that AMAs cameramen and sound-team didn’t do theirs. Their shitty camera angles missed A LOT of the choreo and spent half the performance filming the crowd or recording the wrong person when somebody else was singing, as result, some impact was lost which is frustrating! Youre right where were the close-ups? The stage was so dark you could hardly see them. America needed to be introduced to their faces!! And Why were their mics turned down so low? They should've called MCountdown / Music Bank to teach them how to REALLY record a K-Pop performance because that was kinda unprofessional tbh! 😒 Also BTS was given no for production, they gave them no staging which was kinda unfair. Also I think there should've been a special intro so they could show off their VOCALS & Cinematic artistry so haters couldn't say “they cant sing” or “they're just another generic boyband” which I’ve heard a lot since. 😒This wasnt the time to do a standard Music Bank performance it should’ve been a MAMA's level performance (I dont see why they couldnt just do their 2016 MAMAs stage at AMAs with a bit of DNA added - and I still think is was a BIG mistake not to put in some 'Blood Sweat & Tears' or 'Fire' as those songs have 10x more impact than DNA). Anyway it's done now, congrats to BTS, hopefully ELLEN/Jimmy Kimmel will let them be more impactful. (sorry for the essay I just had to vent)!!!

They didn't put all ARMYs in one section. ARMYs bought the highest priced tickets to be up close and show support. Also the entire mezzanine was full of ARMYs. You can see fan cams of their incredible chanting, which were muted on the televised version, and all of the ARMY bombs that were there in the upper sections. I met many ARMYs who flew/drove in from out of states (who did not have AMA tickets) that went to the venue just to show support and chant during the red carpet in order to give BTS confidence and strength going into their performance.

ARMYs werent put in one zone lol when BTS were announced as performancers, 4K tickets were sold in an instant. So Army were everywhere there lol they tried so hard to mute the fans during the performance but you could still hear them lol Even Jimin said he heard the crowd eventhough he had inears on. You should check out the fancams. Also those in the front seats were celebrities, the guy holding his phone and recording is an actor named Ansel lol.

I was a little disappointed in the camera angles but BTS did amazing as always.

I'm so glad you said it. I always felt that BTS should be more credited because DNA broke the records without becoming a "meme" or a "trend" which, honestly Gangnam Style was. But, I never said it out loud, because I know how attacking Kpop fandoms can be. Still, yes, I really appreciate and respect Psy. After, he really did create a huge movement with GS.

'Jin is so consistent with his vocals' 😢😢👍

In terms of their English, I'm from the US and I felt like the rest of the guys did better during the AMAs red carpet interviews than they did on the magenta carpet interviews for the BBMAs. They are improving for sure. Plus it is so cool that they were on live tv here in the USA!! So exciting. 😀

The army’s are totally at the back!!!😂 the front rows are for the celeb

Everyone loves BTS, not only ARMYs, they're big.

The 70% of the audience were armysss👌🏼👌🏼

The other members on vlive said that yoongi was the most nervous and that he was basically shaking but they all agreed that when they heard the fanchants and saw all the armys that their nervousness just disappeared 😂

There were 4K Army the venue held 7k people. Everyone there gave them a standing ovation btw. They shook America seriously. The AMA’s has to mute out the fanchants because they were so loud, the boys actually said in a vlive that they could hear the fanchants through their in ears and you know the fanchants were loud af to have that happen

Fun facts, Armys were mostly pushed to the back on the second floor. Fan chants and thousand of army bombs cound be seen there. The front were mostly VIPS non Kpop stans. But they were jamming to BTS nonetheless, like how can they not

I do think it would be easier for them if they learned more English, but I think the point of international fans liking kpop in general is that they can get past the language barrier and still enjoy the music. Also BTS never meant to advance to the U.S. and honestly I feel like if they put out songs in English it might hurt them since it might come out as a gimmick.

I don't think I'd be ready for a Superbowl performance (that's not up to me though lol) because I don't think the demographic that watches the Superbowl is open-minded enough to a foreign boy group. That is just one BIG invitation to a whole lot of racism.

i heard there were around 4k armies there and as a reference the theater only seats 7.5k people. and also this is their american tv debut. if you watch fancams most of the armies are actually in the back doing fanchants so the people in the front weren’t even 1/5th of the armies there.

We were everywhere!!! I think more than a half was ARMY! People flew from all the states, France, Korea, I did it from Mexico!! It was all for them!

There were around 4.5k army in the 9k army. The fanchants killed it. Hope you watched a fancam or two

Actually it was such a successful presentation that even many people at the end of the presentation started downloading the BTS album! Many attendees to the AMAs who were with children had to leave because their children started crying! And check the fancams! The fanchants wow!

I like what you had to say about language and your observations about the interviews. I hope BTS gets this, as well, so they all will be able to express themselves here

Hey, I was there. Most of the armies were in the back, and they were evenly spread cause you could tell by the thousands of bangtan lightsticks. The pit was full of super excited fans, then the celebs, and VIP seats were mixed with ARMY and "who is BTS? BLT?" people. Basically, most VIPs who got tickets before BTS was announced were like what the f is going on, cause the screaming was insane from the moment the Producer announced that they will be next. Like the loudest of the night. The excitement and screaming really energized the air so everyone stood up even before they started performing. There was so much anticipation that it was contagious. After the performance, the OMG what just happened hung in the air before people could calm down and let the next segment be filmed. That's why Jared said he needed a moment. He wasn't the one that needed the moment, the crowd was still cheering and screaming for BTS after the performance. That comment gave everyone time to calm themsevles to let teh show move on. Ticketer told me that 24 hours after they announced BTS, 4000 seats sold... so that was Nov 8... And most fans were non Korean even though girls flew in from Korea with their giant cameras. And as soon as BTS was done, they were on their phones uploading everything....

Great reaction! You guys, need to watch the FANCAMS on third floor... ARMY was insanely LOUD! The fandom whit army-bombs screaming the fanchant, the camera man didn't focus ARMYs on the third floor, and was lit!

The fanchant was muted but you can still hear the fanchant. That’s how loud they are. And those who watched this performance live say that BTS lipsynced here but when you watch a fancam, you can hear their breathing and Yoongi saying “let’s go let’s go”. The AMAs muted the fanchant. They meddled with ARMYs fanchant so they are also meddling with BTS’ audio. And BTS are trying learning English rn and half the audience were ARMY but ARMY weren’t the only one who’s cheering for them. Everyone was standing and dancing and singing along to them even though some don’t even know the lyrics

I agree 100% with what they said about the members learning english. English is not my first language, but knowing is important to enter a bigger market, especially when it’s the entertainment industry. Bts is funny and cool af, if they could pass that on their US interviews, their appeal would only increase~

The boys have an ultimate goal of becoming fluent. They’re trying harder now than ever to speak English. They’re practicing a lot more, and they know a lot.

I must say that maybe 80% of the audience r ARMYs. They filtered the sound on TV. Fanchants was so loud, i was there 😂😂😂

I was there and most fans sat further back to the wall. if you pause it when the camera faces the audience, you can see a line from left to right filled with light sticks. What's even crazier is that ARMYs came out, who didn't even attend the show, chanting while everyone was still in line to get in. this awards show was crazy insane whenever armys thought bts was showed or they thought they saw bts. i couldn't believe that this American music show put BTS as the second to last performer of the night. i'm saving my tickets. NEVER SEEN ASIAN PERFORMERS ON AN AMERICAN STAGE SINCE IVE BEEN AN ASIAN AMERICAN IN THIS COUNTRY. Let's continue diversity

The sad thing is that RM can't really express himself that well in english either..... he can make do, but if you look at the korean interviews his thoughts are soo much deeper... So all the english intervews are very shallow, sadly. Even when RM is translating to BTS he simplify it, so I hope they have proper translator on talkshows....

OMG I love this video!! You are right about their english. They have improved A LOT, if you see the interviews of the BBMAs you will see how much. And I hope that they keep learning english, it would help them a lot in the future; language open doors, especially english.

That was the first time I saw BTS. I literally found out about them that day. It changed my life, I love their music so much.

The fan chants was really insane. But it was muted on TV if u watch the fan cams there are a thousands of fans chanting

"Jin is so consistent with his vocals" I am loving you ~

oh my God...i am bts fan from India... n my heart is still beating fast....amazing performance.....soooooooooooooo happy for them... God bless them 😍😘😘😘😘

While there were a few fans stationed in the 'ARMY' zone near the stage as shown in this video, most of the ARMYs were actually in the mezzanine section. They ruled the upper storey and the loudest fan chants could be heard from there which echoed throughout the theatre, especially if you watch the fancams. You'd be able to see more ARMY Bombs above. The fan chants were mostly muted in the live broadcast during the performance but the venue was extremely loud because ARMYs turned it into their own concert.

This is their first American Televised Debut! Everyone was SHOOK by the boys...they did so good and I am so proud☺️

There were ARMYs in different parts of the crowd. There were lots in the back and top sections too. Close to 4,000 ARMYs went to the show, if I’m not mistaken.

I agree with hoping that the other members improve in english - mainly because during interviews they look like they really do want to be involved with the conversation but just aren't too sure with how to properly express themselves in english.. which is a shame cause they can't show much of their witty personality either. but they did really well this time round, super proud of them 💓

Yes this is their televised us tv debut

I agree. I also think the dumbed down questions are because they're a boy band. I'm pretty sure One Direction got lots of these same questions. I remember growing up Nsync and BSB getting the same questions minus the food ones in the beginning of their careers. There's a perception that boy bands are shallow musicians so that's an added layer to BTS also being korean and not fluent in english. Then this all being new and a huge deal so they are nervous. Looking back to old 2013 interviews the same members who are quiet now were quiet then for the most part. But you can definitely see them getting more comfortable with the interviews as days passed. Giving their responses in korean is better than giving none at all while RM tries to coax something out of them. They are honestly luck one of their members is so good at english. Translators won't know them as well and get the feel of what they're saying. Basically, its all a matter of time and practice getting comfortable in these situations. As it is now, it was a good beginning as David said.

4000 audience were ARMY'S. So you can imagine 😍✌️

They said that they studiet English really hard up to this trip, and i think Yoongi understand it pretty well, but is not that comfortable speaking it. Don't know if they have a proper english teacher though, or if they're still just learning from Namjoon? He might be good at teaching idk. but it's a lot to ask of him, and an educated teacher is probably better.

YOU GUYS SHOULD CHECK AMAS BTS FANCHANTS !!! They were way louder but abc channel had to mute them down

You have to watch fancam of the perfomance there you will hear the real fan chant ^^

It’s definitely more than 4K. It was 4K on the first day they announced they were performing at 9am. The ticket sales person was like sales skyrockets all of a sudden in just one day (4K) so I bet there’s atleast 5 or more) Jimmy kimmel is a talk show but this is an actual award show performance. This was on a huge scale so it’s a first. Most of the front weren’t armys. Those spots are expensiiive. Like over $1000. All the armys were in the back and those fancams they were LOUD. Bts were just hyped enough to make everyone else hype and jump around. BTS IMPACT

Kpop really does transcend culture languages and barriers, Music and dance is truly a Universal language that has no boundaries

lol amas even muted the fanchants on this one so that viewers can hear them better! The boys said they could even hear the chants through their noise cancelling earphones dskfjdsfjla

You two are one of my favourite reactors . You watch with good unbias commentation, and also from the view point of native koreans. And after you give such intellectual and thoughtful commentary. Thank you so much for also recognizing RAPMON as RM since there is the newest name change.

If Bts was to perform at the Superbowl.. I would faint..this needs to happen..With Army anything is possible💚

Actually the majority of armys were in the mezzanine in the top part of the hall, in front they were some armys and ''normal people'' but mostly celebrities

So, there was more ARMY in the back. Most ARMY was in the back with there ARMY BOMBS. You have to see the fancams to see it. They were crazy amounts of loud. WAY MORE ARMY IN THE BACK!!!! PEOPLE WERE IN SHOCK AT LOUD THEY WERE! Also, They are really working hard at learning the language. Don't worry! They got this.

This was the first time BTS was on tv live. They did perform on the Jimmy Kimmel stage but it was not aired as of yet. Also, I saw there was over 4k ARMY that bought AMA tickets. There were assigned seats.

please note that the fanchants were much louder, the show kinda focused more on the song than the audience; ARMYs were all over the the arena; and this was their *first* American debut

actually army was more than half audience, because as soon as AMAs announce BTS as the performer AMAs ticket sold quickly, and they not put army in one site, many ARMY bought the most expensive ticket

That's me at the part where you guys said "omg, this is the army zone" 😂 I got front row of the moshpit, and many other ARMYs were there as well. Mosh pit tickets weren't on sale, you have to sign up and get casted for them, it's all completely free. People in the moshpit and seat fillers are used for the purpose to make the show appear full, it looks bad if theres an empty space apparently, it's done at every award show. The only catch is that we can't use our phones to record (it'll look bad on tv), no pictures or disturbing the artist, and we have to follow any rules that the staff tells us - they usually want us to appear more energetic. Anyways, if you mean that the fans were lip synching, I can assure you we weren't. I screamed the fanchants so loud my voice cracked multiple times and my vocal cords are still recovering. The regular folks who happened to be around us gave such weird looks and many were surprised by the hype. When some complained of how you can't even understand what BTS was saying, how Asians don't belong at an American award show, that they weren't singing English, that they hated this section, etc. we made sure to scream louder. What they televised didn't do the fanchants justice, they muted us. I suggest watching fancams, we were really loud. BTS even stated that they could hear the fanchants through the earpiece that was suppose to cancel the noise out 👍

Jin is so consistent with his vocals... Preach boy❤️

The other members said that they will learn english more harder so they can communicate well with international fans. And actually, Jimin and Tae english is getting improves compared when they at BBMA

The whole stadium was drowned out with the fan chants they had to mute them during the performance. Even Jared Leto was impressed he had to take a moment before presenting after. They really are that big.

Yep, I am strongly agree with your recommendation that the other 6 six members of bts should learn english. It really helps them to widen the USA market.

You should watch the fan cams because there are some ARMY's in the back and you can hear the fanchants!!!

The music actually muted the fan chants they were so much louder. There were over 5,000 Armys there and it was like 7,000 person capacity. And they sang so well while dancing that everyone thought they lip synced.

When he said that he can hear the fanchants I was just like "Honey, you have no idea."

ARMYs were everywhere in that venue if you watched clogs. The ones in the front were people who bought the tickets and then there was a VIP section where they were aloud to record with their phone. But from what I’ve read online, ARMY bought out majority of the tickets for the AMA’s.

yes yes jin vocals are blessing !

the audience was more ARMY, they announce with BTS on TV with enough time to buy the tickets for the AMAs. People from Florida fly to California just to see BTS. BTS was on every single radio station, and TV shows and TV News. Now they really are known for all ages here in the US. We are waiting to be on air the Main Varieties shows, a mini-concert, and Ellen. You don't have an idea how big was here in the US. ABC AMAs cuts was always BTS.

They got to perform 16 from 17, right before Diana Ross is amazing, they also got an standing ovation, there were ARMYs in the venue but the general public loved them also, plz react to some fancams inside the venues the fanchants were CRAZYYYY!! + the other members are studying super hard english and got so much better, you should see some of the interviews! the impact of BTS performance was so big they even got the #1 search from Google more than 1M ppl searched for them, I can keep on going but there is just so much that i wont hahaha love you guys!

I love that you give out your opinions and I agree to most of it☺

Yeah Boys that was AMAZING ❤ BTS 🎶👌

I just freaked out when they finally performed kkkkk I loved so much! and they improved their english, RM dows know a lot more but I saw the last interviews and these from AMAs and they understand a bit more and talk, not just RM, and I'm so happy for them! Love you guyss

No, the whole venue was hype! Y'all need to go check out the fancams

2:28 min...its first time I ever seen anyone's exactly correct reaction ina reaction video....yes Jin's vocal especially on live are so smooth and stable damn u guys make best reaction video...

camera work wasnt ready for kpop 😂😂

I agree, they need to prioritize learning english to express themselves. And it’s true that they dumbed down the questions thinking that foreigners can only understand those type of questions. Unfortunately, some people thinks that when you can’t speak English you’re less intelligent 😞😣.

This was BTS actual American debut. The pit was for the artist's fans and changed per performance but the balcony was filled with screaming BTS fans. The audio of the fan chants was muted by ABC. If you want to hear the pandemonium that was going on during that performance go check out a fan cam. The best interview was from Zank Sang. Go check it out.

If you think the fanchants were loud in this, you have no idea what the unmuted sounded like lmao Also over half of the people there were ARMYs haha The fanchants were LOUD as fuck and I wasn't even there but I saw the fancams

they peeformed on Jimmy Kimmel's stage but it's not broadcasted yet, the AMAs was their US debut stage..... and they are the 1st Kpop boy group to perform their and the 2nd korean artist after Psy performing in 2012

AMA was BTS first America live performance on TV in the U.S. the other one was a mini performance on the Late nite show.They will be perform again today on Ellen DeGeneres

Im not korean...and not into it with kpop..but BTS is different,their music so ear catchy..easy to remember and i can play it all the time..i love the energy they bring to the music..and when i see their dancing...its so even more good to see...i love them n always love the. Cuz theyre one of kind 😁

This was their 5th time in US and 1st time performing for AMA. And yes those were real people.

I can see how people say that they lip-synced because there was a part in RM's part that it got really quiet and kind of cut off but RM's mouth kept moving.

BTS break new Guinness record 20M congrates tweet and 7.3 M #BTSxAMAs

It was even more crazy with the screams and fanchants were so loud everyone was shook but they muted it on tv because they were too loud for a live broadcast I think?? Idk but I wish they didn’t because it was hilarious

Most ARMY were in the back because those tickets were cheaper amas's tickets were way expensive and the pit section was really expensive byt some army sprung for tickets there. about 4K army were in the arena in total though so if you watch fancam videos you will hear how loud it is in there, the ama's had to mute the audience noise live.

That language thing... So true... I am dying for other members to express what they feel by themselves.

They need to cut the fanchants...and they need to rise the music background as the croud is louder then the music initially...you can check the fancam...even there are certain audience shocked wth the fanchants

Checkout the fancams they're much more better The fanchants were louder than what they showed😂❤

They killed it this is just the beginning I totally AGREE 💖

jin is always son consisted with his vocals... at least somebody said it XD he is really good and every one seem to see it like normal

Love David and Danny.

y'all should react to audience reactions to DNA since the fanchants weren't heard much in this broadcast

Nope most of the ARMYs with Army bombs were on the upper floors! You should watch the fan made videos coz the fan chants are amazing! Also, The other members are trying to learn English like what RM said. You could also see in the other interviews that they try to answer in English. It's such a shame that most their US interviews were unprepared and unresearched. Only Zach gave the best interview that BTS and the ARMYs appreciated so much since he asked the most sensible and important questions! You should watch it! Btw, this is BTS' US tv debut. Their performances in The Late Late Show and Jimmy Kimmel will air this week respectively after Ellen Degeneres' guesting.

ARMY bought ticket see the fanchant it was so loud

im from mexico i watch this on my tv BTS IS SOO WORWILDE!!!

No we weren’t put in one place, it was just because a lot of people there were Army. I was afraid that I’d be surrounded by non kpop fans but when I entered my whole row of seats were all Army’s 😂 I feel so lucky because the row in front of us were all non fans so they kept looking back and staring at us whenever we chanted/shouted for BTS LOL
