BTS - This is BTS Army | Reaction | 방탄소년단 

Also 66 and ARMY strong! 🙂💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I'm almost 62 and a proud ARMY

I love your story 💜💜💜💜💜💜

Baby Army at 70 here. As an old hippie I resonate with their messages and am so happy to see the efforts of ARMY.💜💜💜

60, also. 61 at the end of March 🥰

I was touched by your comment.💜👍🏻

Me siento de la misma manera, antes de ser army fui parte de otro fandom durante 7 años, conocí a los chicos en 2019 cuando lanzaron bwl con halsey, nunca había escuchado de ellos antes debido a que evitaba ver los premios de USA ya que no me interesaban y tampoco me llamaba la atención el k-pop, el hecho es que en ese momento andaba super metida en mi fandom y no me interesaba ningún otro, tanto así que hasta pensé: no entiendo por qué son tan populares, simplemente son chinos, cómo hacen para entenderlos?, con el tiempo solamente dejó de importarme, pero el hecho que cada día más y más mutuals de twitter empezaran a seguirlos y de que Jk apareciera en mí tl tan seguido me dió la curiosidad por aprender a diferenciarlos, pero cuando lo hice no quise saber más de ellos a parte de haber escuchado dynamite. Fue el hecho de que en el 2021 me sintiera un tanto depresiva y alejada de este mundo lo que me llevo a encontrarme con vídeos de bts siendo bts y esto a su vez me llevo a conocer su música más allá de dinamyte. Siempre que digo que bts me salvó lo digo en serio, y ser parte de army me ha llenado de más amor, aceptación, pero sobre todo de orgullo porque ahora me siento parte de algo, ahora soy comprendida y siento que llegué al lugar que estuve buscando durante tantos años. Gracias army por todo el amor que me han brindado, no estuve desde el principio pero estaré hasta el final 💜

So beautifully said. 💜Borahae BTS and ARMY

💜 I purple you, fellow ARMY 💜

When armies say "bts save them" I really can't relate cuz I'm not an emotional person (not that I don't show emotions just when needed). I am very headstrong and very principled my Dad made sure to install that in us but the real world people find me difficult to manipulate or walk over ( convince me that your opinions or methods are the best and not the lesser evil) so I usually face hostility You call people like me a "non-conformist", it got to a stage where I started telling myself maybe I should pipe down my survival should be more important than my "views or principles" ( 2021 I was ready to change myself or at least pretend till I can be at that position I was told live will get easier) but bts and armies came just in time 4th of January I saw Tae and JK picture and recognize Tae from a drama I watched 2018 so looked into him then I found out he was a singer in a group called bts by 7th I had known so much about Tae but nothing about music so that day I finally searched who is bts and after 5 songs 2 lives 12 reaction videos and hours on YT comment sections (at that point I knew I was in the hole). Long story short, what I felt after finding bts and the army was a sense of belonging and understanding, I should not stop being me cuz some people can't stand it, I should not care if people call me arrogant or when they tell me to stop trying to stand up for people I know don't understand that our been harmed or used ( the word exact is "God complex", behaving as if I'm better and you can't find fault in me) that is the way I was described even if that was not true. The world needs to understand that bc one doesn't show feelings doesn't mean one doesn't have their shadows to deal with. edit: After reading this myself it does sound as if I was saved not from pain or depression or suicide but from conforming, losing myself so to speak.

Excelente comentario, me siento identificada con lo que dices, llevo casi un año en el fandom y lo único que tengo para decir a ARMY es simplemente gracias por no rendirse, por creer fervientemente que el mensaje de los chicos debía ser escuchado en todo el mundo, gracias a todas esas armys que estuvieron antes de mí es que yo estoy ahora aquí, borahae ARMY 💜

@Sasha, yes it seems like that the American DJs would say who is BTS ?and why should we play their song? They are not American artists! They are very rude very disrespectful! The song” Mic Drop” when it was first getting recognition in the United States through talk shows, when BTS were guest and perform the song , I only heard it once played on my radio station! Kpop songs that I request many times to my local radio stations that play only American Pop music ! They would laugh and say it’s not in English, people are not going to listen! The radio stations were more about their popularity and whether or not they could get their listeners to tune in and listen to BTS or other K-pop artist. Through ARMYS hard work we have actually accomplished a lot now that I listen still to my radio stations I noticed that they’re playing other K-pop artist for instance MONSTA X has an English album and they’ve been playing a lot of the songs from both their English albums! But only English Songs !🤦🏻‍♀️ now I think that Spanish radio stations won’t play Kpop songs I know because my friend who is a Cuban American asked many times for the Latin radio stations to play BTS and they Won’t! ARMYS we still have our work cut out for us because if Despacito can get hundreds of thousands of spins that is mostly a Spanish song than BTS ‘s Korean songs should be also included as well as any other language songs that are popular! “Life goes on“ was always a concern to me because it was in partially English but mostly in Korean and the racism and xenophobia that these radio stations are, only want to get their popularity boost not just the artist! We still have work to do ARMYS!!!💜

MUCH respect to the ARMYs who helped elevate BTS in the US/worldwide with those grassroots campaigns in the early days. I can’t imagine the dedication and thick-skin it took back then. Even now in 2022 with all the success, exposure, and shattered records, the prejudice and criticism of BTS by people who don’t care to know them is so harsh. I know we have them and they have us, but they truly deserve 1000% more respect than they’re shown. Even if the BTS genre (not the Kpop genre- they are NOT the same) isn’t your cup of tea, the grind and passion is to be respected.

@Jeannie, yes I understand BTS is not considered K-pop anymore because they have expanded out into their own genre! Technically K-pop is not a genre it’s a Industry! Iam fully aware but I was just speaking basic overall in a conversation not as a description of who BTS is. I should’ve been more descriptive when it comes to describing BTS. the genre of music I was just telling my story what I have to go through as a listener of both BTS, K-pop and American popular music in order to get anything on the radio I myself have to fight every day when I go and make a request online through my radio station and try to open up peoples hearts and minds to who BTS is! The throw negativity that people who are not familiar with BTS or don’t want to be familiar like certain family members of mine and friends who outrightly confuse North Korea and South Korea and make jokes and say that BTS and Kim Jong un are one in the same! BTS is why their message is so important not just on their music but as a serious social issue platform! 2022 is the year of the Tiger and BTS will continue to evolve make music and most likely serve mandatory military service! Now that the American artists know about BTS they want to collaborate with BTS but it took so many years for them to work hard and struggle and the Fanbase has equally been there working side-by-side and struggling to get BTS heard on the radio recognized as important artist with a message of “Love Yourself” that is unlike any other western artists haven’t put out there! Kim Nam Joon our leader of BTS, spoke those words at the United Nations General assembly in 2018 for the love myself speak yourself campaign with UNICEF! I tried to show that to my family to let them know that they’re more than just a seven member boy band from South Korea! Fighting!💜 BoraHae 💜

I’ve been ARMY since 2017 and Joined BTSxTexas on Twitter and shortly after on their grassroots efforts. I remember going to Starbucks & similar places and asking if I could leave the cards we had created (“Do You Know BTS?” Taking a page out of WWH Jin 😝) on their boards. Some would say yes, others no, others would look at me and say “aren’t you a little old for a boyband?” 😑 A DJ at our local radio station told one of our members to stop calling because so long as he was the program director we would never hear BTS on that station. He left her in tears. Personally, I could care less about their prejudices. BTS is worth it all: great musicians, amazing lyricists, exceptional dancers BUT above all, good, caring, thoughtful human beings. So to see how far they’ve come and continue to climb is a personal badge of honor and worth all the hate and unnecessary cheap-shots they threw and continue to throw at ARMY. The more they hate the harder we work. Haters gonna hate. 🤷🏻‍♀️ but as YoonGi once said: Love Yourself, Love Myself, Peace ✌🏼 💜

i know right even i didn't realise!!!

In my country they played it on the radio because, of Justin Bieber. In my country they are looking down on Korean musicians. So they don't play it.

@@chrissturkenboom6080 Same here

​@@chrissturkenboom6080 The original one didn't even have JB there ;)

And first it was Macarena...

YESSS...

Excellent point!!! 😁💜

Exactly

That's amazing! So proud of you! 💜😍👍💜

@@imajinallthepurple We stand in the right place ... With you all around the world.

I saw that and I thought it was so cool! Good job army 💜💜💜

For SURE! 💜

Yeees we are 😢💜💜💜💜

True! the fact that it's surprised me when I first watched that vid that the fandom donated 1M for the black lives matter just matched with Bts in just one day it's mind blowing I don't know why other call army toxic but nah! this fandom are helpful people and now I'm part of the fandom I'm so proud 🥲

Thank you for all you did to help bring our boys to where they are now!! We appreciate you guys too, without your hard work, we may not have had the chance to know them!

I joined the fam spring of 2019 and fell down the rabbit hole hard. I read all the articles I could find related to I-Lovelies and K-Diamonds but I don't see people talk about the relationship much anymore. Thank you, K-Diamond, for being there from the start when the guys needed support! 💜

You’re an OG. A reactor said that she’s being told that XCeleste’s hardships video is not accurate so she’s asking if she should still react to it. Do have any opinion on this?

hearing the term "Lovelies" made me shy hahaha. Hello from a since 2013 International ARMY here xD I used to be so jealous and envy you K. ARMYs since I discovered them during their countdown and debut. It was so hard to access some of their stuff since some were not translated back then. (flashback to Rookie King days where I used to laugh without understanding the content and had to decipher it through their actions and reactions, or just simply laugh because they laughed >///

@@marypaez2795 I need to watch her video again because it's been so long. happy to give my opinion then 💜

You are awesome!!💜🇰🇷

Thank you for being there! 💜

💜💜💜💜💜

That was a great thing to do!!! 😁💜

💜💜💜

That is so wonderful.

I'd follow it too! Need to learn about it and what a cool way to try

Twitter really put me off army, so many antis on that site its sas.

@@CupofLoffee yeah it's hard sometimes. Just try follow good trusted ot7 ARMYs like Soo Choi, voting teams like bvo, chart accounts like BTSchartdata and translation accounts like sel. And ofc BTS 😅. stay away from negativity and cleanse your tl by blocking 💜

Soo Choi has gone on break

Exactly. BTS broke those records. Period.

This is why I find it so stupid that they still have not been given the Grammy they deserve!

Spanish is a widely spred(imperialism) language, much more common to hear it in US as well as in Europe

@@alifc1082 Are you sure your comment is in the right place? It seems unconnected to the post? 🤔

so true. sometimes they will target ARMY with large platforms. I saw the translation account Soo Choi mentioned and my heart hurts... she was bullied by solos and is not currently active which is awful :( recently it's been happening a lot more.

@@allimcmannequin And the ridiculous numbers of organized copyright claims big ARMY Twitter accounts have been bullied with... 😤

He can let us know if the Toxics attack him and we can flood his comment section with purple hearts and kindness!! Why are there always those few rotten apples who try to spoil everything for everyone. With over 90mil fans even 1% is 900,000 Toxics!!

But Despacito was huge and on the radio wordwide. Virtually no-one speaks Spanish in my country, but even though I rarely listen to radio there was no missing Despacito.

@@butterbuttersbetter3689 Yes, it is true, I was only commenting on the billboard chart in America, which is that it really ends up being taken into account for prizes or important things. I don't know if I'm explaining myself well, my first language is not English xd

i don't get it tho, despacito was really a worldwide smash hit, everyone and their neighbors were singing it. my family and friends loved that song while not knowing spanish but when I tell them I love bts they say "oh you don't even understand what they're saying" this is why I keep off to myself with bts, I can't fully express my love for them in front of others. I live in a very xenophobic country and the people around me are always xenophobic, towards Asians, saying things like "go back to your Chinese Boys" "go listen to your ching Chong music" it hurts alot especially coming from family so that's why I'd rather keep to myself. sorry for the rant.

I agree. I was trying to prove a point to a friend, so I've been screenshot-ing any and all comments of Army over 55 and editing them to not show names or pictures and putting them together to show just in comments how many army over 55 there really are and I think 5he numbers on the statistics show are definitely lower than what there actually is.

Right

GrossTS

YES I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAID ARMY💜 ARMY.MEANS.FAMILY💜 PURPLE YOUUUUUUUUUUU ALL 💜💜💜

Plz MCA got his merches and he even picked a bias 😂 he has an army energy but he's just calm . And about DJ I feel the same way about him 😅

Min Yoonji is now a hijabist icon, oh I agree. They’re both deep in the rabbit hole, and loving the journey 😂

i hope they get to watch it soon :)

You stole my words fellow army ... "Rise of Bangtan" documentary is a masterpiece 💜... 💜

What ARMY did on the first day of the PTD LA concerts literally saved lives.

@@twawake6644 absolutely. I went on D4, so for the first 3 days I was watching twitter to see how things were and I saw them saying the concert was about to start and people were still lined up outside, orderly and not pushing to get in, I was annoyed at how Sofi handled it, but in awe of the ARMYs there being so patient.

I would love to see a reaction to Life Goes On! 💜

Agree. Would love to see a reaction to this but with a response to the lyrics too (in the context of covid lockdowns) and not just a reaction to the instrumentation. 💜

The award that begins with G wishes they had those numbers

Excellent lyric translation is already included in the MV

Can we get them to mention "GetSideways?"
