So I had to censor a certain word, apparently saying it 3 times will get a warning put on your video. So I had to bleep it out twice for the video to not get marked for sensitive content. Thank you all for watching!
Jesus that's absolutely ridiculous... Censoring covid?? That's literally the biggest thing happening in the world right now that affects everything and everyone. Completely absurd.
@ destructive media, that is so cool that you had your aunt on there and she’s a silver ARMY, Noona ARMY! I’ve definitely found BTS on RU-vid 8 1/2 years ago their debut song” No More Dream”! I was just so impressed by them so my journey with them has been a little bit longer and I have to go up against a family member and he is my son who doesn’t understand why I like BTS and he has all these misconceptions about BTS no matter how hard I try to explain to him why I’m so interested in them and what their music & lyrics do to help me personally! yes I’m old enough to be their mom but I definitely love every one of those members of BTS because they bring positivity they bring happiness they show that they’re not afraid to tackle social issues!! Thanks for this reaction and you are a fellow Laura and ARMY and I am so happy that you are helping along with your nephew’s Journey into BTS! 💜 I Purple U💜
I love your aunt she's a true Noona, I am also an "older" fan I can totally relate with her. Mic Drop was my first intro to BTS too. Love your reactions/point of view. Fighting!
I am so impressed with your Aunt. I also appreciate the effort you put in for the reaction. Lol, her response to what songs do you recommend was classic Army 😁😁 'Ask an army what their favorite bts songs are and watch their brain stop working' 😂😂Thank you. This was a really fun and exciting reaction to watch 💜💜💜💜
We older ARMYS are noonas or "golden Army", as Namjoon call us. I will be 63 in April. Your aunt's song choices work for me. Especially ON: KINETIC MANIFESTO. Their dancing in that video makes my heart soar. Sorry we won't see it here. There are a lot of us older ARMYs. I belong to two groups of older ARMYs and we number in the thousands.
I agree about the numbers increasing. I’m 77. I have been so happy to have BTS in my life. As many have said they have helped me through some very difficult times. It is fun to have an older family member join a reaction and hear their stories too! 💜
I am 59 and absolutely love them. Have to thank my 17 year old daughter for introducing them to me. I have been listening to them for the past year and a half. Army at heart 💜. Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴. I really enjoy your reactions and love your aunt.
@@DestructiveMediaYT I really like the BTS reactions with your aunt, because you have your genuine reaction and your questions are answered right away by her.
Definitely could, but there is delay with video chat. We live close by eachother, she's just busy and so am I. I'm hoping we can work out more times to record together.
if you want to see more RM'S solo's i recommend "reflection", " persona","forever rain","moon child","bicycle". They are my all time RM'S fav solo works
I was introduced by my niece to BTS almost 2 yrs. ago, and I'm one of their biggest fans now. I have a calendar, cup, and I just spent $117 for pajamas designed by my bias, Jin, so I guess I'm all in. I love all of their music, and I love the messages of positivity. I agree with your aunt about her choices, especially "Black Swan", but I would also include "Dionysis", the 2019 MMA performance. During the holidays, my nephew came to visit me, and he was sharing some of his music with me, so I introduced him to BTS. He said that he probably would never would have been exposed to them if I hadn't shared, and he liked them more than he thought he would. Love all of your reactions, but I had to comment on this one.
I enjoyed this reaction with Noona Laura (and your other reaction videos) 😊 Only a true ARMY will have a special connection with BTS songs and how they have had a significant effect in our lives. Thank you for sharing that with us. 💜 For vocal line songs, I’d recommend: Jin - Awake (lyric video); Epiphany (mv) Jimin - Lie (lyric vid); Serendipity (mv) V - Stigma (lyric vid); Singularity (mv) JK - Begin (lyric vid); Euphoria (mv) All 4 (lyric vid) - House of Cards; Lost; The Truth Untold
Rooting for the underdog is so satisfying when they succeed against the odds, isn't it? They're so far above other groups in Korea right now, in terms of awards or sales. Do you think they're still the underdog in the US music scene? I mean, I know they've snatched awards too over there, and of course they are now a regular on the Billboard charts, as a group and as solo artists. But they've only won one US Daesang so far (last AMA's Artist of the Year) and no Grammy yet. I wonder how much higher they will rise. Will they top "Butter"? Will they win other Daesangs in the future? Will they break more records? I can't wait for their next comeback.
Another noona (more like an ahjumma) ... 54 years old, from Germany and have been a casual listener since DOPE but have become a fan since Blood, Sweat & Tears. Hi to your Aunt!!! We do not push ... just let yourself be pulled into the rabbit hole :D Lyrically ALL songs are great, esp as they are usually inspired by quotes or books the guys have read (esp. RM) but also the emotions, struggles and mental health issues they went through or still going through.
The live version of ON is amazing! BTS live performance of ON on the Jimmy Fallon Show: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MZh-w2nysuI.html
Loved meeting Aunt Laura!! I am a woman of a particular age and I also love BTS!! I need to work on my merch game tho....Walmartcom here I come🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🥰💜💜💜
Wow! Your aunt Noona is so cool!💜💜💜thank you Noona, for educating me on spoon class concept and although I already love mic Drop, your reaction video made me see Mic Drop in a whole new way! I am a 58 year old army from Canada 🇨🇦 and I am still learning more about these wonderful boys everyday ! Thanks for joining us aunt Laura/Noona and I love this reaction - I am now a subscriber 👍💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
this is totally unrelated, but aunt laura is so PRETTYYY!!! and i love the way her voice sounds when she speaks 🥺🥺 she's so eloquent and cool oh my god i wanna be as cool as her when i'm her age
FINALLY! I knew you'd enjoy this song if only because of its lyrics! It's also a bit of an earworm. I'd love to see you do some lyric break downs with your Aunt. I always felt like the explosions in this video were all about BTS just blowing things up left and right, and the people falling from the sky after the explosions is a humorous little detail. I'm loving this journey you're on! Thanks for letting us watch you learn about this amazing group of hard-working young men with a great message from South Korea! You might also enjoy American Hustle Life. It may be a good thing to offer to Patreon to get more support. The band was sent to the US to learn about hip hop from some of the greatest. The first episode made me extremely angry, but after that, it was amazing to see these awesome guys adapt to adversity in a country where only one of them could speak English fluently. Thank you for what you're doing here. I'm so proud to support you!
Even though I’ve been Army since March 2020, I just learned from Laura the difference between Weverse Global and US! Hi Laura unnie👋 Were you guys talking about the Black Swan Ballet by Crescendo Ballet? Here’s the link for that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0OPBzyqV054.html
Adorable 🥰 I love that you are sharers. I agree with ON Kinetic Manifesto Film Come Prima, they also do a lovely making of video which shows how much they are actually influencing and changing music. And the inclusivity that I love. Sorry if this is cryptic, I don’t want to give anything away. Really enjoying your journey and glad that a Noona has your back. 😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Please react to The Rise of Bangtan fan-made documentary episode series. It’s really well done-almost professional quality-and it gives you the best amount of quality and content of BTS’ backstory and rise, and the journey throughout. If you want slightly shorter and less dense content, The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS 2021 update by The Asian Theory is great for their summarized overall story and An Introduction to the 7 Members of BTS 2021 update by Ida S for an insight to each member. xCeleste also makes wonderful extra videos such as BTS Hardships, and theory videos to help Army understand BTS content. ARMY would definitely love to watch you learn more about the group, and why we love and respect them as much as we do. Personally, until BTS, I had NEVER been into groups or an artist enough to learn anything about them personally. BTS has grown in my heart and earned a permanent place there. I wish them all the happiness in the world.
I actually think you’d enjoy doing an ALBUM review, either Love Yourself: TEAR, or Map of the Soul 7. You’d get to hear a range of songs developed around a theme (rapline, vocal line, and solo songs) and get to know their repertoire and versatility in terms of genres (upbeat, satirical, soulful) while diving into the lyrics as well. Superb songwriting by the members, plus very high production qualities from the team at BigHit Music.
Everybody's family is messed up to a degree! Whenever I am having to deal with someone that has caused me grief, I listen to "I Wouldn't Wanna Be Like You" by Alan Parsons Project and "I Don't Care Anymore" by Phil Collins. LOL I am an older Army member, like your Aunt and I am the only person (in my life) that has any interest in BTS, but thankfully everyone in my life is very supportive and understanding about it. And it's true, you find BTS (or they find you) when you need them most. For me it was near the beginning of the pandemic.
Aw I adore your aunt!! Noona! Please bring her back more often as a guest it that's possible. She's fantastic. I'm certainly not young, I just turned 40 and I found them 2 years ago, and they really gave me the strength to get through one of the hardest times in my life, my depression was extreme. I hope anyone who is reading this who is having a hard time coping with their mental health realizes that they have value and their life is priceless. The world is a better place with you in it. Even though it might seem hopeless now, it's not going to always be that way...you have a future.
I looove her! That was so wholesome 💜💜💜 It warmed my heart so much to see her explain how she became invested in the boys. All of the love and good wishes to you Laura! Thank you for sharing with us! 25 yo ARMY from Canada.
Hi, please do a reaction to Epik High - Excuses. Epik High is a 20year korean hip hop group which has always been inbetween hip hop and kpop and experimented with genres. BTS rapline have mentioned multiple times that they are one of the music acts they looked up to. This particular song is around 12 years old, completely in English and I've chosen it because of the lyrics more than for the music. (since you like to look into lyrics). Epik High is still active today and making amazing music. For a more recent reaction you can do Epik High - Rosario music video. That MV has English subtitles I believe.
Am like your aunt... I love my Boys *B T S* (adopt them as my visual son's), see - you have a family that is a big fan of BTS (am surprised too) "Mic Drop" is a cool song to haters! Chris Martin also impressed with this song!
I loved this reaction! Shout out to your aunt from a fellow bts Noona! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 One thing I find very interesting, that seems to come up a lot with the Mic Drop reactions, is that many people are unfamiliar with the Spoon Class Theory, which funny enough is actually a western theory. My conclusion is that it's a generational knowledge thing (which just saying that makes me feel old, lol), especially since that term really isn't used often these days. I'm not sure if anyone else around my age can concur, but me being 42, I grew up knowing what that analogy meant. We even had a TV show when I was growing up that I'm sure you a lot of you might remember, called Silver Spoons. Anyhow, just found this very interesting, especially after having seeing a lot of reactors not only look it up, but also conclude that it was a Korean specific analogy. Anyone else out there around my age, or any age that is familiar with this theory? Just interested to know.
Love this! Your aunt is cool and I'm older as well. Got into BTS because I was drawn by their humor then their dance...lastly I did a dive into their music and lyrics (esp by Suga solo mixtapes) did me in...they are a happy pill for me!! Hoping this will make your relationship with your aunt even stronger!
Wooah!! good to see you here Laura! I am part of BTS Noona's group in FB from Melbourne Australia:) Mic drop is one of my fave's too and I agree ON: kinetic maifesto is another one. I love the cheorograpy in ON
I really like your Aunt Laura. I'm a Noona too. I have a daughter JK's age. BTS's discography has really resonated with me and helped me go through some tough things this past year. I hope your Aunt comes on again. I look forward to going to my first BTS concert some day.
Hii!! really love all of your reaction!! For next i hope u can react to ON commentary film on bangtan tv channel!! it explain the process of making the map of the soul album including Blackswan too ^^
I love that you have your Aunt helping you learn about the boys and their music! I’m older Army I resonate with her on how BTS came to me!! My oldest son is 4 days older than J Hope and my youngest is between JungKook and V and Jimin! I’ve been army 2018 and wish I had found a lot earlier!! They are 7 amazing young men and I love all their music!! Mic Drop along with On , Black Swan are a few of my top favorites. You need to hear Born Singer !! That is another aimed at their haters. And it’s actually a remake of a rappers song Birn Sinner. I think it’s J Cole!
Thank you for this, I am going to be 63, my kids don’t get it, they roll their eyes and I can’t make them understand, but thank you, I know I am not the only one, I have been a fan since DNA, my granddaughter is also a BTS army, they saved me when I needed their lyrics, they made me laugh when I wanted to just stay in bed and cry. Thank you,
Your aunt is not crazy, I’m in my 40’s and have their pictures in my walk in closet with quotes from them to help boost my self esteem when I’m getting ready to face the day. I have also have Dolly Parton and my son’s picture. They inspire me and boost my self esteem. Anyone that can help me like that will have a place in my closet too😊
Please react to Dimash. He's considered one of the best vocalist with a voice of 6-7 octave range. I recommend his song SOS (Singer 2017 version). Thanks!
I love your aunt Laura in your reaction video. I am an older ARMY myself. I appreciate your lyric deep dives. So many times BTS lyrics get passed over but I am so happy you are addressing it. RM is a genius lyricist. He writes almost 80% of all BTS music lyrics. RM has a playlist on Soundcloud called Mono. I don't know how much of his lyrics can translate into English well but his lyrics in Korean are really deep but has lots of word play that's hard to translate. I am happy to discover your channel. I just added you on my subscription. A happy trip down to the BTS rabbit hole!
I belong to a group of older fans we are the silver army! I am 59 and my first video I saw was Idol. But it wasn’t the song to grab my attention but RM. I went and watched his solo videos, which led me to Agust D and Jhopes Hope world. I than started listening to the rest of BTS. I watched the videos in order of their release. Than I listened to the albums in order. But the song that locked me into that rabbit hole was epiphany. It was the song that moved me and clicked into what I needed at that moment. And to put out what I listened to before classic country or classic rock and oldies and soft rock. I HATED rap before listening to these guys. They opened my eyes to accepting more than what I knew. Love this trip I am taking with them!
Comment two! BTS can be as much or as little to you as you want. They have provided SO MANY hours of content in the last 8+ years. (there are some things available pre-debut..debut fyi is 6/13/13) It's very hard for ARMY who love them so much to not just dogpile on people looking into them. One of the biggest joys of ARMY is sharing our love of these 7 men, in all forms that takes. They are amazing musicians/producers/dancers/entertainers/comedians/models/PEOPLE. So Laura showed great restraint! I commend her. 😆
Most of us Army gravitated to BTS because of something that has knocked us down in life but BTS picks you up and you don’t feel alone ....they make you feel like a part of a family....and they are mind boggling talented💜💜
I looooooove your aunt!!! She is so cute and represents us by your side 😃 I hope she can be with you again because can give you some explanations in real time the way we will love to do! Oh! When will we play again???? (Finding words) I'm sure I'm not the only one missing the game 😆...
I guess I am a BTS Noona too! All of BTS could be my kids ~ my daughter will be 21 soon. New subscriber here… I love that your Aunt Laura was in this video. I was introduced to BTS in 2020 by my daughter. She had been a fan since about 2016 or so. I fell HARD fur these guys. They are just so awesome! I even flew from the Midwest out to LA last Dec to see them in concert ~ which would have been the furthest thing from my mind 2 years ago. I wish I had become a fan earlier, but it is fun to watch others become ARMY as they watch BTS videos. Some suggestions for BTS to watch (if you haven’t yet) are: Blood Sweat & Tears, Dope, Fire, Danger, Boy with Luv ft. Halsey, Idol, Anpanman, DNA, Fake Love, War of Hormone, and Boy in Luv. All are great ~ enjoy! ☺️💜
It’s amazing seeing your Aunty react and show her passion for BTS. I read the age group statistics of BTS fans globally and till this day, it still amazes me that a decent portion is adults all the way through to seniors. Like it’s not skewed to teenagers at all, and your Aunty is living fact of that. It’s amazing what BTS is accomplishing. Truly mind blowing. Love from Australia mate.
I know it has been suggested before but I *highly highly recommend watching the MMA 2019* live performance (TV award show) they did. They perform 5 different songs in very different genres - the last one being Dionysus which I think you would really enjoy musically. I think Dionysus is the closest to a rock/metal vibe apart from Fake Love Rock Remix which also features distinctive real electric guitars in the instrumental. (The live concert versions of Dionysus and Fake Love Rock Remix are insane btw when the bass and guitar booms across the stadium) I fell in love with BTS because of their outstanding live performances and DVD concert footage. Their live vocals add such a raw emotion to their songs and they often use "concert mixes" live with real instruments which gives us ARMY something exciting and new every time they perform. Also ARMY is the 8th member of BTS. I have no idea if you have heard the term "fan chants" yet or have any idea what "ARMY Bombs" are but if you are curious this is a Mic Drop performance at their concert I watch when I need energy or feel a little bit lost. This is what you see when you attend a concert and it gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. ARMY recorded from their seat (this is not official DVD concert footage) I think *Laura* would love watching this MIC DROP recording to gain strengh - just know that ARMY are a family. We are by your side to give you support as much as BTS are. Just search this on RU-vid, it has over 3 million views: "방탄소년단 BTS Speak Yourself Tour Final In Seoul - Mic Drop (2019.10.27)" I have never seen them live even though I have been an ARMY since 2014, but I own or have watched every single concert DVD and their ability to excite you so much and touch you so deeply through a monitor that you almost feel you are actually at the concert is insane. Not many artists can translate this kind of energy through a recording but BTS were born to be on stage.
Loved this! Your aunt is so nice and fun! also, try to include live performances as well, as they show their real voices (for me it's even better than video clips). Also, I recommend to check out Tiny Desk (Home) Concert. Enjoy! :)
Mic Drop was my first BTS song!!! It holds a special place in my heart. And it is true, BTS finds you when you need them. I discovered them 1 month before New Zealand went into our first lock down in February 2020. I think that discovering them and deep diving into them helped me keep my mind busy from concentrating on anxiety and the uncertainty of covid. They strengthened my self esteem when I was feeling down and helped me build myself up and reminded me to feed my spirit.
Hi! i would really recommend Agust D- The Last, its a very deep song and has a very emotional feeling to it. Im looking forward to the next coming content!
As an older international ARMY I feel you on the expensive shipping fees. But I live in Canada so I buy from international Weverse. Other than shipping you'll have to be in time to catch merchandise before it gets sold out in literally minutes!
Laughing so hard hearing your aunt talk about about weverse shipping prices, they are truly an experince 😂. I just bought the J-Hope plant pot set and the shipping on global cost more then the item almost.
I absolutely loved seeing aunt Laura in your video!! She was able to give such good background info for mic drop live for you too which was great instead of you having to wait for our comments about the background after the vids done. Loved this! Also idk if you’re interest in their choreo side of things but if you are, you HAVE to see their mic drop dance practice with the dance break. Shows that their talents really have no limits ALSO lol, (im commenting as i finish the video) a really moving song that has all 7 of them is called Magic Shop. Even their live versoin is so good and has subtitles as well. Its a beautiful song
Man, your aunt is so cool 😍And I really enjoyed your reaction! If you want to see more of the whole group, I would recommend you ON (Kinetic Manifesto) and Dionysus (MMA 2019). Other than that, since BTS is also known for their 'music for healing' I'd suggest you to check out songs like Blue & Grey, The Truth Untold and Magic Shop (live versions with subtitles are really cool), so you can better understand why their lyrics are so important for many people (even if it's probably not your type of music).😅 And finally, of course, the queen, Spring Day (plus an explanation video by the italian army, it's a bit long but it explains well the most popular interpretation of the lyrics and the MV). Thanks for your work and as always, can't wait your next reaction! Take care, I Purple you! 💜💜💜
Hey fellow Mid-westerners! We're from Rochester and Wauwatosa :) I always love watching people watch Mic Drop for the first time. I think it will go down as one of the all-time greats. And that's coming from a big Green Day/Pink Floyd fan, so go figure. Love your deep reactions. Keep it up 💜
please send my regards to your aunt, Laura. She's so sweet.. 💜💜💜 please do ON reaction.. but if you like more rock, please do fake love. thank you. I love your reaction. 👍💜
Really enjoyed your aunt being on, and hearing how she got into BTS and how they have helped her. Hope you have her on again. Really enjoyed this reacting! 💜
We love Army noona! She is so awesome! I really wanna see you both watch and go on deep dive with Spring Day. Watch the mv, lyrics video, italian army explanation video. It would be so amazing to see you both talk about it and bring your own perspectives. Thank you both for such an amazing video! 💜
Wish my aunts were as cool as Laura haha she's awesome!! As a metal head myself I would highly recommend Fake love (the rocking vibe version). Besides the very deep lyrics, the sound is so cool I always listen to it when I'm feeling a bit angsty lol.. would love to see your reaction.
@@DestructiveMediaYT well...Korean’s have a lot of “titles”! So she is technically called 외숙모 way-sook-moh (way is from mom’s side of family); just call her emo Laura😉
