BTS "The Rise of Bangtan Chapter 5" We may have gotten a little upset & defensive 😅 | Couples React 

OMG Gabriel came out of his quietness when BTS was being bullied. You guys cracked me up because we were all the same way. Love you guys!💜💜💜💜

You know you’re real Army when you’re ready to throw hands for them. 😂

Warren G was probably the most friendliest and respectful mentor to the guys during the show. You can tell from their interactions that he was pretty genuine with them

Coolio's delivery was horrible but he had a point. They were a rap group, but very few of them had knowledge of black history and rap. Production did ask him to play it up a bit, but the boys had to learn a lesson many other kpop groups haven't learned to this day. Hiphop is not just an aesthetic, black people are not an aesthetic, we are real human beings with stories and our culture deserves the same respect you would show your own. Coolio was a great teacher and important to teaching them the respect for hiphop they have today.

Jin beatboxing like a dog still gets me😭

The 2 tutors they had Tony and Nate treated the boys so well we especially love Tony because of his memorable moments with Jimin and he even did a cover of their song in like 2020.

This experience is one of the reasons why our boys are so much different from other idols. Instead of imitating what they see or hear, they actually dove deep into the culture and learned for themselves. They not only learned about the technical aspects of hip-hop, but they also learned the sense of community, the value of hard work and new found passion for their craft. It truly shaped them into the incredibly humble artists that they are today!!! And that’s why they’re so successful.

True, the whole series had been quite difficult to watch. But it helped our boys with a lot of things - they've developed relationships with some authentic and genuine people - up to now they still work with them or are friends with them. They've also learned the importance of giving back, they developed more hiphop skills and even confidence. Our boys have learned a lot and I'm thankful this has been part of their journey. 💜 Also, think about American reality shows - they're about conflicts or the likes to make the show interesting. Very different from what we're used to with Korean reality shows that are just fun and wholesome. So maybe little of these are mostly scripted, and it made us feel very protective of them coz they're not used to this kind of treatment 🥹🤧 Thank you for sharing this vid with us! Borahae CCW 💜

Coolio was the only one that was rude towards them but he still offered them words of wisdom. Not everyone in life is going to be nice and some will fake their kindness, so there was a lesson to be learned there. The people who say they hate AHL ( American Hustle Life) are people that are out of touch with black/hip hop culture. BTS said themselves that they learned alot and do not regret the show but as you saw from the previous episode of Rise of Bangtan, Suga and RM are very in touch with hip hop culture . I believe that AHL helped give BTS a genuine understanding of soulfulness, hip hop culture, hip hop history, and rap music. I am greatful that Bang PD gave them that experience.

Gabe talked a lot in this video! The Papa Bear in him woke up and wanted to protect the boys!

gabriel is quiet, but will speak up to defend someone!! a real one haha

felt that title. AHL made us allll defensive, but it was a great experience for the boys.

It so hard to watch this without getting embarrassed from those guys 💀

Coolio may have seemed harsh but he was a real mentor to them, taught them a lot about Hip-Hop cultur even supported after the show was shot. May he rest in peace.

Coolio was 100% right and sent them in the right direction. He was a little harsh but it’s important they know of the roots of what they want to partake in. Hiphop is not just a music genre for a lot of people but a culture. Because of the lessons of American hustle life, I think that’s why they have such a massive and diverse fan base

i'm glad Abby notice they are calling the older one hyung, cause not many reactors notice that since they only read the subtitles and miss that.. its understandable, but i'm so glad Abby notice that.. much love..💜💜💜

American Hustle Life was definitely an interesting experience for the boys and yes in the beginning Coolio was definitely hard on them but in my opinion, he wanted them to take this seriously and so as the show progressed he began to ease up on the boys for sure. It's just an interesting show but the part that I loved the most was their relationship with Tony and Nate🥺 (ps. ARMY, we need a Chimchim and Tony reunion ASAP🥺). I think the show really helped them respect the craft of hip hop more and gave them the necessary tools to be able to make authentic hip hop music so I respect it. Also one of if not my absolute favourite BTS albums, Dark & Wild was made during this trip and I just think it's so cool seeing their work ethic. They've always had it and continue to work just as hard.

The studio they used for the album in La is also the studio where Jimin did some of the vocals for his album. And the choir for ON is from the same studio.

MiniMoni have a special bond. Everytime they are together they always talk about serious things. Actually Jimin has this high emotional intelligence that keep his members not awkward around him. His attitude switches or automatically adjust depends on who is he talking to or with him.

I clicked faster than yoongi ’s rap 😂

The first couple episodes of AHL are rough...but it definitely gets better. It's not as bad as some people make it out to be. They definitely learned and grew alot through that experience.

Coolio came off as rude in the eyes of other people but what he did was open the eyes of bts, you see in Korea, a lot of people think of hip hop as an aesthetic, for example I’ve seen many Korean rappers do CA because they believe that’s looking “hip hop”, what coolio did was educate bts and that education that they received help bts get a better understanding of hip hop, bts took what they learned and applied it to their music and their outlook on hip hop changed, RM now has a better understanding of hip hop, the artists in that scene, the history, etc. This can be seen in the interviews he does nowadays. I’m sure some parts be of the show was acting but bts ended up learning many things.

They actually had translators in the room with Coolio. Coolio was impressed with them in fact. I think what he did was "okay" in terms of his questions to them and correcting them with their stereotypes. He doesn't hate V he was teasing (in a harsh way but still teasing). Some moments were pretty cringe and some of the treatment they got was horrible. I think that's why some armys hate the show but I think it was a great learning process for them in the Hihop journey its why they have so much respect for the black culture too. RIP Coolio

Coolio to BTS after AHL : "Boys, I already told you, the most important thing, keep on pumpin' your heart. Stay dedicated to your crafts, stay dedicated to your life." RIP Coolio. He may have looked harsh, but part of it was producers telling him to amp it up a bit, & the other reason was that he gave them tough love as a stern teacher, which to this day has made BTS what they are now, knowing a bunch more about hiphop culture than most in K-Pop & maybe also even a bit more than in K-Hiphop, partly because of people like Coolio, who was both a mentor & hype-up man. I don't have the numbers, but this is also why BTS probably has the most collabs with western hiphop artists as well, if not just total cumulative collabs with any western artists, not just only in hiphop. And BTS likely is the most prolific when it comes to global charities & donations, not that that's a flex necessarily, because of seeing the homeless in LA & grandmother alley in South Korea & also all the charities made in BTS' name by proxy as created by ARMY around the world. As sort of said in this reaction, AHL wasn't summer vacation, it was summer school. Perhaps you can react to the entire AHL later on.

Lol I love how defensive everyone got when the Coolio scene came on, just wait until you see the beginning of the American Hustler life series 😂

Don’t worry. I was defensive for the boys too but once you step back, you can see that this lesson was necessary for bts. Hip hop is so interwoven with black culture in America and you can’t be cluelessly in it.

I might have felt Summer’s maternal instinct kicking in when Coolio made V do push ups. You’re my favorite Summer, we both like Namjoon.❤

one thing about American hustle life, they made BTS respect Rap more. made them put more of their struggles and emotions in their lyrics. yes it was harsh, but rap is literally black American culture and they take that to heart.

No, because when y'all became defensive about taehyung's situation it was y'all most army moment, I can relate.😭 This show and experience are what sets BTS apart from other hip-hop style groups, BTS actually educated themselves from the hip-hop creators and released Dark&Wild (one of their best albums) where they learned and respectfully recreated their own underground style. I also believe that this and the beginnings of BTS have kept them down to earth and humble always, that with the success and how big they are, I'm sure if it was any other artist it wouldn't be the same situation. BTS has remained true to themselves and their music.

Y'all were ready to throw hands 😂 Thank you for the reaction, you guys are so real

Hobi's tiny "English speakeu time" will always remain in my heart and Joonie's "JIMIN, YOU GOT NO JAMS" is one of the most iconic lines by Namjoon till date lol !!

There were some cringe moments in the show but overall my take away was that the BTS members were so open to learning any and everything. They were polite to everyone and even when it wasn't great they still had fun together. They never really complained (at least on camera). The concert at the end of the show is amazing, especially when Suga, V, and JK sang with Iris watching.

The way they all look like the boys parents who got mad cause their kid got bullied especially Summer 😂🤣. This is why armys are so protective of them. We know all the bad things they went through

When Jimin says he needs to improve when talking to the older members its mostly about writing lyrics since the rapline has been doing that since the start. He didn't just say it bc of hierarchy and stuff he truly respects them for being able to write and produce music .

Coolio knows that they don't know about hip-hop and he rightfully taught them that our culture is not an aesthetic. They knew Tupac, Snoop Dogg, etc but they didn't know the background and history behind these artists, that is very very important. And Bts learning that is what makes them so different, most kpop artists don't know any of that shit, they say hip-hop is black and that's actually the first thing Jungkook said when they asked him what hip-hop is. Coolio was hard on them but he did right by them and he respected them just as much as they respected him. R.i.p to him btw 💗💗 I'm glad that he taught them what he did

Great reaction guys! The mama bear energy coming off of Summer was cracking me up.

I think Coolio was harsh and I definitely feel like he could have gone easier on V in the beginning, but I think he was coming from a place of feeling like they were joking around with his culture. A lot of people want to rap or wear "hip hop" styles, but don't even bother learning about the people, history, and culture behind it. If you're going to present yourself as a hip hop group, you should at least be able to answer a few questions about its history, and I think that's the point Coolio was supposed to make. If you watch the whole series he softens up a bit as it goes on and they seem to build mutual respect. I've always felt that BTS has had a strong connection to and respect for hip hop and its roots and that's one of the things that sets them, and specifically the rap line apart from other groups. I think the producers asked Coolio to play it up a bit, but I think his lesson was an important one.

After that experience on skid row BTS have been SO charitable and they don’t even tell people about it. We find out sometimes YEARS later.

CCW are showing signs of true ARMY defending the guys, and getting mad, frustrated (trustrated) lol... We love that, that's us watching anything bad or rude against the guys. ❤ You all!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜♾️

You guys should start reacting to the dance practices for each song you are reacting to. Watch the MV and then the dance practice. Please and thank you. Hope y’all are good in Frisco- I live in Richardson. Love you neighbors!

I really cry every time I remember how they treated V, he was a very happy child at that time, with a very pure heart😭💔 the only good thing there was the teacher iris, she was nice with everyone, and she gave great compliments to V for his incredible voice💜

The best part of their interaction with Coolio is right after he grills them. He asks to watch them perform. They do No More Dream right then and there in front of him and you could tell he was impressed/shook! He had to act like there was something else they could do to improve. It was great!

honestly american hustle life is not as bad as some make it out to be, there are some rough moments in the first few episodes but overall there are many more good people and moments, definitely something every army should watch at least once

if you remember in one of the video " most beautiful life goes on " , the creator said that the american hustle life was a cringe worthy but an effective opportunity for bts because even though throughout the whole time sometimes it was sad to watch the young bts keep up with the rude behavior , they learned a lot and improved a lot too so yeah :)

if you watch it, you'll understand the whole purpose of it. ofc many parts of it was harsh but bts themselves said they learned from it and dont regret it. they've improved sm after this and even made an album there from all the experiences they got.

In namjoon's words jimin is the only person that can praise you and show his gratitude without any envy or jealousy. Joon expressed how no one but jimin is capable of it and it how it has helped him. The interaction you saw between jimin and joon about jimin looking upto him and praising him and expressing his shortcomings is how jimin is. A man with purest heart and soul. He will always put everyone else above himself and make his achievements and talent look smaller in order to give others the limelight. But he always shines. An angel.

Just because bts raps in korean doesnt make it a completely different genre from hip hop in america lol. The genre originated from over here, and bts know that. They have alot of respect for the great Ogs from America .(korean rappers too of course). But they have alot of knowledge on the genre and culture in general. Yes BTS rappers were underground but the whole point of this show was for them to experience the culture a bit and learn more than what they already know. Yes they were a bit harsh it was hard to watch at times but the outcome was really great. This process was a great learning experience for them. Also, yes they didnt understand majority but they still knew a few english words and phrases at that time. So they weren't completely oblivious to what was being said.

YOUR REACTIONS ARE TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE!! To this day I refuse to watch the full AHL episodes I hateeeee how they treated the boys

what you got to remember is that american hustle life was a tv show and so many things were very exaggerated and not real (including coolio’s attitude who sadly he passed away recently). still it was too much how they were treating the guys.

Thanks guys! Iris, who was lovely, is the person Whoopi Goldberg played in Sister Act!! It's her story that she played, and she was such a lovely lady. No wonder she could teach the Sisters to sing! In fact apart from a few issues AHL is a good show and really shows the boys growth and they also had fun. So don't be put off it, it's part of Bangtans history. I hope when you do watch it'll be on YT but probably not...

you guys being protective over the boys was so precious 😂 I can relate

This show was rlly good for them regardless. It taught them something a lot of non black hip hop artist lack, respect.

If you guys notice, when you watched that snipet from Skid Row episode, what those guys from Skid Row, they really took to heart and learned from them.

I cannot see you guys watching American Hustle Life without throwing fists. But if you can make it through to the end their relationships with all of them ended up being really very genuine. Jimin got his nickname Chim Chim from Tony during this show.

coolio was very nice to them so relax guys it was fun watching tony and all the show members very supportive to them and the thing i like the most bts never change never forget where they come from❤

Until Jimin's album, BTS is still using Eric's studio recording when they're in US. It's a proove that BTS & Bang Sh-Hyuk dont forget people who help them in the past.

Props to Gabriel for having V’s back. 💜 your channel!

To fully grasp the point of this reality show you’ll have to watch the whole series. Afterwards you won’t think of it as a bad experience but a good learning experience.

the album 'dark and wild' was recorded while they were shooting American hustle life and i feel they were exhausted to the bone at that time

Oof, gotta disagree with you on this one. Coolio--as a black artist who helped establish hip hop--has every right to ask a bunch of boys from another country if they understand what hip hop is. And I'm glad he did and they're glad he did because kpop is full of idols appropriating the aesthetic without giving credit or respect to its origin. BTS did it in the early days too. I am so proud of them for taking the steps to have these conversations, learn about where hiphop comes from and the culture that created it, and finding their own way to do hip hop authentically. It was totally fair for a hip hop OG like Coolio to come in, see these boys in their chains and baggy pants, and say "hip hop is serious to me and you have to know it's history." Like I'll never be nothing but grateful for the education Coolio gave them.

FUN FACT. the hip hop dance choreographer Anika was one of Gwen Stefani Harajuku girls.

Coolio has already passed away but BTS learned a lot from him. Coolio was 59 when he passed, he passed on Sep. 28, 2022.

AHL was a reality show- meaning not real! Coolio was really cool to them, the bravado was for show. And they had translators on set. Overall a good experience. RIP coolio.

10:56 the entire reason they’re there is “to learn the hip hop culture in America.” The rapline are exceptional… but they were fans of hip hop music… they have no clue about the hip hop culture in the US and kinda the fact that a lot of hip hop artists come up with similar stories as coolio back when he was getting popular or whatever. He’s not wrong for asking them these hip hop questions bc that’s his job lol hip hop mentor. He’s not only asking the rapline… and they didn’t know the answers to the questions he asked them either…. Bc he’s talking about the history of hip hop. It’s basically like us army asking for older reactions so you could see the journey from the beginning and the big highlight moments that were crucial to it becoming what it is today. With his background and him literally talking about the history of something that changed his life… I can see why he was thrown off by v saying turn up lol he made him do push ups which is just like in sports you have to do push ups if you’re late or something… he showed them he was serious by having v do push ups… but have to remember that he didn’t know them at all before this or who they were… so they don’t know these are the most kind, sweet, silly, loving and goofy boys ever. Like you have to look from his side too.. v was hard to understand at first so Coolio may have thought he was mocking him and the. The rest of the boys were laughing.. he could have felt defensive not understanding how they are too. Doesn’t excuse kinda lashing out towards little tae tae … but he’s human too.. or was before he died . tae said turn up the whole rest of the trip all the time lol he clearly was not remotely phased by it. Taes the most confident person I’ve ever seen… he wasn’t effected by the push-ups lol Also remember this is a reality show guys… typical Korean reality shows like this have a lot of scripted parts but a lot that’s not scripted also… but they had two mentors .. main mentors… coolio and warren g… coolio was first and the serious , tough love approach…. And warren g was second and definitely a more patient and kind mentor for the boys to end the show in a good place which it did.

Hi 👋🏾 I don’t think Coolio (RIP) treated them well, but hip hop is FROM American culture. Korea very much liked to deny this fact but also tried for a very long time to emulate hip hop culture by copying BLACK culture which is not ok in the slightest (wearing braids because “that’s hip hop!” even though my grandma wears braids, etc.). Coolio was used to tough love and I can completely understand why he may not have had a lot of respect for them in the beginning. He probably thought they didn’t actually care about the culture they were participating in. (I don’t exactly blame him since their fashion style on stage was extremely cringey at the time 😅.) He learned as time went on that this wasn’t true. A lot of people have this same revelation when it comes to BTS. Unfortunately, a lot of Kpop artists still do this mockery of hip hop that Coolio assumed they were doing.

Loved your honest reaction! Gabriel wow you surprised me I think this is the first time I heard you say so much😂 I agree I wanted to protect them also, you only saw small clips but Tony is the one who gave Jimin the Chim Chim nick name. They made a lot of good friends, and learned a lot!

This is the first time I've seen Gabriel speak this much😂😂😂

Guys.. It was a TV show.. Not live show, they worked and they had fun, and they went there to learn more about hip hop.. They might not have know "the script" but people on their team knew😉The beginnings of hip hop, not what's on charts today.

Many people forget that they are visitors to hip-hop, this is apart of a CULTURE, a culture that is ridiculed all the time. please don't downplay what it means. He told them to learn hip-hop because it's what kept our peoples story heard. He didn't tell them to stop or laugh at them he told them to find they're own expression of hip-hop and understand it

Guys Hip Hop is very important to a LOT of people, especially Black Americans because it describes a lot of our stories and it was an outlet for our pain for such a long time, so if BTS came to America to learn about this culture, then it was very important to be respectful. I understand that Coolio came off as harsh but that’s how a lot moments of Hip Hop really are. I really suggest watching this whole series because while it is HIGHLY cringey, BTS learned so much more than any of their peers or hip hop artists outside of America would ever learn. They carry that respect and humbleness with them until this day. Another side note is that BTS was only really known amongst kpop stans at that time so no, Coolio probably didn’t know their full story, he just knew they wanted to learn about Hip Hop. Also, Coolio actually passed away last year and BTS sent their condolences.

I get so happy when you guys upload. I miss bangtan so much these days that all i could do is rewatch all of their contents. I’m just so glad i found your channel 🥺💜

yea the older guys did take on a lot of work in their earlier days both involving the music and their personal lives and even now jimin talked about how the rap line laid foundation to bts in his episode with suga on suchaewita and how suga reciprocates that feeling with vocal line

I love how they look so confused in the thumbnail😭😭

Fun fact: Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit is loosely based on Iris Stevenson's (the lovely voice teacher) time as a choir director at Crenshaw High School.

I was so quick tapping, this. It was nice watching you guys and relating to our emotions. Well, I would also recommend whenever you watch any mv or any content watch the behind the scenes too, they have tons of contents so it'll get easier for you to know everything with all the process !

They kept the words, they give millions some people's , the word the promise, they donate millions each and every year

It's really nice watching this episodes over again with you guys! Love the reactions. Can't wait for the next episode... 😊💜

yay! can't wait, watched the bonus scenes on patron while i waited☺️ i might have to go back & rewatch to laugh after this episode lol! have a nice weekend 💗💜

Ahora (American Hustle Life) is one show I only watched once... Can't handle it. It breaks my heart. And the Rise chapter 5 is the one I don't re-watch, too. But the boys got something big there, alright. Their base, their core. Their root, as artists and as people.

7:56 It's already 2023 and people are still searching for Jimin's missing Jams 😂

Those men on Skid Row had some wise words. I hope they are thriving in the present.

when they first aired AHL coolio really pissed me off too loool but AHL is still my favorite show of BTS. they have learned a lot not just about hiphop but life. season 2 for AHL would be so fun to watch actually loooool

I highly recommend you check out the full 8 episodes (I think) of American Hustle life. This episode of Rise of Bangtan is just a snippet of what the show covered, and it left out some REALLY important stuff. You honestly need to watch all the episodes to really understand their experiences on the show. For example, this does don't reference Dante (with good reason). Or their " work experience" and you really need to see that. Or shy little Jungkook running away from one of the women at the music video shoot - my heart still goes out to him. The first couple of episodes of AHL are pretty cringe, but overall the show was pretty good. And they learned a lot. 💜

Did i just clicked faster than tae changes his expressions lol... I love you guys so much 😂💜

Thanks for your reaction I have been waiting for this for a long time❤🎉

America Hustle Life (complete) is Great !! It is really telling how much they learned. They had their first concert in the US which was free and with 300 hundred people and sold out.

Im really happy that I can watch this Show with you guys, its so much more fun than watching it all by myself. I must have seen the first 4 eps several times with other reactors but they all put the later ones on patreon soon, so it will be a new experience for me if you continue with the series here on YT 💜 Thankyou so much for keeping me company 🙂 your channel is always fun and I dont miss any reaction (besides Avatar ;) )

Wow the earliest I've ever been to your reactions. 💃🎉🎉 That thanks editor Zen, you do great work 💜

I remember Suga got defensive when one of the 'mentors' hit Jin with some kind of hat or something (not like a full on hit but he threw it at him.) Yoongi even had them cut the camera's. From what I remember that 'mentor' was fired after that. There are definitely some tough scenes to watch but it's also an experience I think really helped them somewhat understand and respect hip hop culture more and grow as artists

AS USUAL, BEFORE GOING TO BED, WATCH SOME CCW REACTIONS WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE. You guys are so fun to watch with or without bloopers. Borahae guys💜

Coolio was definitely harsh, but bts was teetering the line between appreciating hip hop and appropriating blackness back then. Being educated about the origins of the culture saved them from being like other artists in Korea who use blackness as a costume.

I love how protective you all are towards the boys..also im so surprised to see gabriel so angry and i love it..can't wait for you to react to the hardships..i hope it's soon..much love to all of you..borahae ccw 💜 much love fighting guys 💪🏻😍🥰💜

oh god almost 7 years of being an army and i still haven’t watched american hustle life in full… and i don’t think i will tbh 😅 i’ve seen enough clips to know i wouldn’t handle it 😂

the funny thing is they watched those fireworks from rosebowl stadium then in 2019 they are the one who has big concert at rosebowl stadium with same even bigger fireworks. im so proud of them

As much as I dislike American Hustle Life, it was probably the most beneficial thing that their company could've put them through early in their career. One of my main issues with a lot of Kpop/hip-hop is that many idols are willing to walk the walk, but not talk the talk. They'll wear chains and rap and sing without acknowledging or knowing about the rich history and culture behind hip hop. In a way, I sort of agreed with Coolio in how he takes hip hop seriously (NOT in his methods though, still kinda rude). Hip hop was started as a way for Black folks to vocalize and unite in their struggles with the system and their personal problems. It's evolved since then, but that's still a core value of the genre. That's why I respect BTS so much, because they took this [very cringey] experience and applied it to their work ethic. They all constantly acknowledge the Black artists and other artists of color that influence their various styles. It's a complete 180 from what most of the Korean music industry does.

Daniel and Gab would really like the reality show V was in recently, he and a bunch of other very famous Korean celebrities (like actors from the films Parasite, Train to Busan, the upcoming Marvel film, etc.) went to Mexico to open a Korean restaurant. Basically the show is them running the restaurant, cooking and interacting with customers, going to the market to buy food/supplies, speaking Spanish here and there lol. And yes a few customers recognized them. And the Korean food they were cooking looks so good, the diners all loved it. The show is called Jinny's Kitchen

Guys your reaction is so true ... Love your reaction 💜

OMGGGG I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIISSS!

I always look forward to you guys reacting to this series 💜

Alot of people on American hustle life didn't treat them with respect, especially at the beginning. Its very hard to watch. But it tripled my respect for each of the members. They were so humble to be able to live through that experience and bring back solid life lessons/see the good in bad circumstances. Doesn't mean I can't hold a grudge though :)
