BTS - The Rise of Bangtan chapter 11 - Live Reaction 

Yes, Aneesa is the sole editor/creator of The Rise of Bangtan. She does have a group of volunteers who help translate the series now into 18 languages, but she really started this series on her own four years ago! She is so appreciative of the love and support she has received from so many people on her "passion" project to tell the guy's story as honestly as she could. Her professional skills as a video editor really shines through!

During this point of time, they started to become bigger. Bang Si Hyuk saying that he's not going to say he's proud of them yet and wait until they will become the biggest band... I feel so happy thinking that now, they certainly heard Bang PD telling them how proud he is of his boys. Their journey is one hell of a roller coaster and I always wanted to enjoy that ride with them. Always proud to be an ARMY.

SHINWA is a legendary group. Also they are one of top Idols who admit that : "BTS paved the way." Only a few Idols who openly admit it, like TWICE, Jackson Wang from GOT7, Ailee, & of course, Seo Taiji himself. *actually the President also said it on TV 😅

Thank you for the beautiful reaction. It's true that BTS are getting better and better for their each comeback. They will show you their true personalities in their VLIVE, the VLOG and their interviews. For sure they will be CHAOTIC as usual and as an old ARMY, I 💖 them for what they are and what they will achieved in years to come. Thank you again😁

The coffee place is a dog cafe. There are lots of themed cafes in Korea! Ive been to a bear cafe (yes, with actual bears), hello kitty cafe, harry potter cafe, cat cafe and bunny cafe. U can pet the animal while u eat! All those ive been too have been fun with tasty food! This would not fly in America cause people are too lawsuit happy. Just imagine the permits that an animal cafe would need and insurance. People dont even tolerate support animals in stores or restaurants! Lol

I cried with this episode. How can you not love them?

Blood sweat and tears was their big "wow" moment. Like they had a couple of big wow moments before but BST was what made people start to take their artistic concepts seriously.

Aneesa already announced the release of the next chapter. I'm so excited! I can't wait.

Yoongi is a very powerful and deep lyricist. Also if it is his song, it is not only written and composed by him, but most likely produced. Both his mixtapes are self-produced

Didn’t plan to be a fan - because I thought - how can I like their music when I don’t understand what they’re saying. And then I came across Fire then ON then BST, Black Swan, etc etc. And I was always in awe - of their music, lyrics, choreo, stage/performance… I stayed though because they seem like good, genuine kids.

Yeah Bang PD the real MVP for BTS. From the very beginning to now he has always been there for them and put his neck out for them, personally and professionally. His realistic yet heartfelt attitude on life and how he treats his employees is something to be admired and should be the precedent for all management. I wish there was more interviews and such on him honestly, it would be so amazing, because just as brilliant as ARMYs and BTS’ story is, the companies is just as much so, if only because of how they have managed to keep their humanity when they were poor and rich. It’s utterly brilliant and a beautiful thing to have in the real world and be reality. But I agree, Bang PD really is like the 8th member, him and BTS have the same energies 😂 But to be fair it was intended like that, Bang PD chose the right people to plan his rebellion against the unfair debilitating practice of the idol music industry, and he chose very well. They were there for each other in the long haul from the beginning because from the beginning they knew what what they were trying to do: do music with honesty, depth, reason, and voice, something rarely seen in music and from music companies of today, or at least not to the level BTS, Bang PD, and BigHit have done it 😄 it’s utterly amazing to witness and be apart of 😄

Yes Aneesa is the editor/ creator of this documentary though some ARMY helps her in gathering different clips from different sources.

The Hand gesture: The finger heart, as it is also called. The whole fist represents the actual heart, that is the size of a normal human heart and the two fingers (thumb and index finger) represents the arteries, so that you're like giving your heart to someone when you do that gesture. When you look at the two fingers, crossed together it also form like a small (tiny) heart shape...

Psychologically, we actually do change every 7 years. It might not seem like it to us, because it’s a gradual/natural process to us. But to those around you, within 7 years they’ll be able to tell how your personality and temperament has changed, from the outside looking in. So yes, 7 years actually is a natural life cycle we all experience and is more than enough time for idols to decide they no longer want to be an idol or would prefer to pursue other forms of entertainment.

Yeah, that’s one of the things that drew me to them, they are so humble and open to learning everything life has to teach. And wise for their ages. Alas, I’m not on Twitch (I’m old and I cannot figure out how it works, LOL), but if at all possible I’d love to see your reaction to Deswitcha (sp?) if you could post it here. If not I understand, although you could consider posting your reaction to the explanation video (yes, it has an explanation video for non Koreans, since it goes deep into Korean culture and history, as Suga likes to do). Also, I have never been able to figure out what makes a mix tape different from an album, so I was hoping to hear that, too. Great video, as always. Your reactions are as close as I’ve found to mine when I first discovered them, except you’re more musically knowledgeable. 👍🏾💜 Oh, but I just figured out your Patreon, so I’m your newest subscriber! Woo hoo!

Yay!! Thank you for playing the end 🙂🙃🙂 the community you have made is beautiful and it is a joy to be on this journey with you 💜 Borahae

thank you for these sincere reactions to BTS! They just signed their second seven year contract last year!

No, thank you.I have watched and rewatched this documentary but I still look forward to watching it with you, listening to your perspective and watching your own reactions. It is awesome- so thank you.

I'm enjoying the series with you a lot. I have only watched the series with you and I'll wait patiently till next episode !

I was suprised the first time I heard about the 7 year contract and why it was used in Kpop as it's a Biblicial concept. Both the time frame and the reason.

JIM!! They have KCON LA and KCON NY, so you could go if you wanted to. BTS doesn’t go to them anymore (too popular = security risk, and too busy now) but other groups/idols do perform. I haven’t gone in many years and while I think most of the acts nowadays are younger groups, there are always bigger names headlining the concert portion.

@23:42 im ALWAYS laughing while thinking he screams "j-hooooeee" there..😂😂

Honestly, there are not enough positive words in the dictionary to describe these 7 men. So thankful to Bang pd and the various staff that helped get them to where they are... so deserving of everything they've achieved and then some.

I had a BTS cold brew a week ago...it really is good. I was really happy that I got Jimin’s. 🥰💜

I really love tuning into your journey. Best reactions and insights. 💜

The thing with the fingers is a heart, and means I love you to Koreans. They actually did a skit about that on the Steven Colbert show, like 8 or 9 months ago. Even though you could tell it was scripted, it was still pretty funny.

This is the rap August D hit's back at those 'underground rappers' that called him and RM a girls for wearing make up on stage. He talks about his fight with depression, his mental health, he bears his life, his soul in this mix tape. Some of it had me in tears it's raw and hard hitting. It's a mini heart sign to say 'love you' it's also can be seen as a 'kiss'. Dog coffee shops and cat coffee shops are a thing in some Asian countries the 2 thing really are come to mind are Firstly Thailand and the other being Korea.

Thank you for this reaction Jim. I love tuning into your journey.

I love this episode! It was so emotional to witness their success after knowing in the back of your head that bang pd once said he won’t say he’s proud yet not until they’re up there creating and producing their very own album and no longer need him 😭😭😭 it has been such an inspiring journey with them and they have helped me grow as a person doing things that made me happy. I owe them a great deal of happiness as well so I’ll be here forever with them and army. BTSxARMY FOLIFEEEEE 💜💜💜

Enjoying the journey, thanks Jim. Missed you on twitch as only reacting now unless you still have it there.... borahae! 💜

that a finger heart, but when u move it fast it mean u asked for money!. hahahahahhahaha 🤣🤣btw that epilog end speech by Jimin never fail to make me cry, JIn Hyung, yoongi hyung, hoseok hyung......

I'm crying with this episode

It's 7 years after laws changed because it used to be 10 years. The agency isn't just a music label, they manage idols for films, TV and commercials. VERY few idols can make money on music alone because they have to split it with members and they owe the agency for training years, most go into acting and make money from commercials and tv work. Most groups do not renew their contract because they do not make enough money for the work they put in.

Hi there Jim...nice to see u a bit regularly now on you tube. Take care and 'em reactions coming....

This is why I really really advocate for baby Armys to watch this series. Armytwt have baptized TRoB as the unofficial bible or textbook for anyone who wants to know more and deepdive into the history of the group. There are many awesome docus tackling the same thing that armys have made but TRob is the one.

There is a kcon in germany this year. I can’t go because of my social phobia. But yeah I hope I can go to a kpop concert next year then. Army fighting! 💜

Thanks Jim🙏,..its a good start of the mondaymorning . With a cup of coffee watching with you the ricevof bangtan. 💜💜

You were hesitant to say it but I think your instinct was 100% right. They definitely loosened up and threw off some stiffness after a few years. Like the documentary will mention Jin even had a role if “the cool guy” which he just isn’t and there is a moment where he outright says.. the company wanted me to act like that but I’m not doing that anymore. Every one of them, I think, went through the same thing. They threw off the image of an ideal “idol” and became the silly goofy weak strong REAL people that they are. We love that for them! 🥺

Hi again. After watching this video with u, I finally accepted that I’m team The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever album. I thought I’m team Wings, but after watching this together with the lyrics, damn, I got so carried away and I got totally attached as soon as possible especially with the Young Forever song so thank u again for this reaction 🙏🏼🫶🏻

i wish i could watch your live streams on twitch but the time zones never work for me 😔

The language thing I guess I was spoilt growing up as I listened and danced to a lot of music in a number of different languages. I still listen to music in other languages. It's the music itself that first gets you then you find out about the lyrics eg what they mean. Music is a language in and of itself. So I've never understood why especially people from the USA appear to have a 'fear' of listening to music that's not in English.

can't wait for Blood, Sweat, and Tears!

Como não amar esses meninos tão preciosos!? 🥺💜

I’ve seen you’ve reacted to BTS vs Kpop by bbygang. Can you react to his three part series titled You’re Wrong About Kpop/The Media Is Wrong About Kpop/Kpop vs Orientalism? His videos are utterly phenomenal, and I’d love it if you could check out his other videos out as well about Kpop & BTS. They are so well-researched and non biased. He does the work that so many western reporters don’t when researching and explaining BTS and Kpop. He encapsulates so well how truly phenomenal BTS is in the Kpop industry, the pop industry, and the music industry as a whole. It helps that with how well he does his research, he shows so much respect for eastern concepts and their impact on the western world. It’s beautiful. One of the best Kpop/BTS videos I have ever seen.

44:17 and then the WINGS album dropped.

forever young unplug ❤

I love BTS so much💜💜💜

Please react to euphoria, blue and grey, filter, chicken noodle soup, winter bear, dechiwtha, mono and epiphany

🎉🎉🎉

u rly went through it trying to figure out the finger-heart huh 😂😂 takes a while, but you'll get the hang of it!!!

Oh get ready to be SHOOK by Wings!😁🤟💜

Thank you, I enjoyed your reaction and opinion.Please check out Agust D2 mixtape 2020

how do I watch all your content on twitch? I am a member but I can´t se album reactions only clips and there is no guide how to watch the full version

💜💜💜🇩🇿

It's so funny you keep forgetting Bang PD

Will you upload the agustd mixtape reaction here?

Something that bothers me a little, here on this channel, but on others as well. There are a LOT of views, and yet of the almost 10,000 views only 1000 likes?

some says that they should speak or sing in english for them to be appreciated BUT why they are being liked globally eventhough they speak/sang by their native language... if THESE racist peeps know how to sing in english why they are not as popular as BTS? why its not the cup of tea of those who speaks english? #justsaying 😅

turn on the CC. then no language is not a problem. They're lyrics are amazing. Lazy readers, are big losers when it comes to BTS.

PLEASE REACT TO SB19 PABLO SOLO DEBUT LA LUNA MV. ITS A RAP SONG. AND IM SURE YOU WILL ENJOY IT. GOD BLESS YOUR CHANNEL

Kpop is the only music I listen to. I dislike the current North American music.
