Dad tears up watching BTS HARDSHIPS 2013-2021 | Racism, mistreatment, accusations- for FIRST TIME 

These are the reasons ARMY is protective of BTS .

........and now you know why ARMY is so protective of BTS. Thank you for taking the time to watch this.. 💜

V was raised by his grandparents, they were the parents he knew best. His confession that night broke me hard. I'm a soft hearted emotional old man over 60 who has survived a very hurtful life.

The sad thing is that it hasn't stopped! Even now, there are antis claiming sajaegi back in 2017-18, that BTS is somehow connected to some religious cult, and other ridiculous claims. They hate the fact that even though the guys are all serving in the military, they are still winning awards left and right! If they don't like BTS then fine. Go support your favorite artists and stop trying destroy others' careers. These people need to stop hiding behind their computer screens and get a life. Thank you so much, Dad, for your positive support for our beloved seven. 💜

That burger incident with Jungkook literally scared me for life. Tore my heart out of my chest and made me ugly cry. Jokes on every single person in that video. They could only dream of JK offering them a burger now. But I still to this day want to run to that younger JK and just wrap him in love as he tries to understand the ugliness in this world when he only sees being kind...

This is one of the many reasons why we ARMY are so protective over our BTS!! They are such humble people and they do not deserve any of this hate and backlash.

I'm a 62 year old Army. I love BTS with my whole heart. Watching you cry, made me cry.❤❤❤💜💜💜💜

Jin dressed like Jimin and went on stage during Jimin's sound check (against management's wishes). He said maybe he could cause confusion. But his little brother wasn't going alone. That's love.

Time to watch "Karma is an ARMY" for a pick-me-upper. Looooool

This man was ready to hunt down whomever in Texas would dare threaten his beloved Jimin. I’ve watched since your first video and I love how quickly you became a hardcore Jimin Stan. 😂

V spent the majority of his childhood with his grandmother she practically raised him so that made it even harder. She was like his parent

Those songs weren’t bad, but they still apologized. They were nothing compared to the lyrics we hear in the US. They did a softer song, and couldn’t name it the same, so it was Boy with Luv. If you look at the lyrics of both, you can see the difference, but still. The song War of Hormone got the most flack, but that song is great anyway. Jimin has gotten the most death threats I think. People just want to hurt beautiful kind people.

Why ARMY so fiercely protects BTS. They’ve taken enough nonsense from the world of haters. BTS wrote songs to help ARMY live well and survive this crazy world. So, when RM says, “Got ARMY right behind us, when we say so. Let’s go!”, it has so many meanings. We will protect them. But, they will, also, protect us (watch RM in interviews about ARMYs). We will follow them on their path to change the world. We will join them in celebrating life. We will walk this path together. BTS is worth protecting, loving, celebrating. 🥳 🎉

The song in question was War on Hormones which does describe teen boys Hormones. Not offensive like some songs in the Western music industry. 💜💜

And to think this is only a small percentage of the hate, xenophobia, and racism they have had to face over the years and they still get hated on today. People really have nothing better to do then to try to discredit BTS and all they do when all they want is to make music and perform.

This video will do 2 things to you. Enrage you at the stupidest crap they went through but will also make you appreciate BTS more because despite all of that, they show positivity and kindness to their fans.. and to me this line in Cypher 4 shows their mentality and is also one of my favorite lines by BTS “Even though you don’t like me you know me, I like hate comments better than no comments, I don’t know you but you know my name”.

Hello, I'm a 47 year old Brazilian ARMY. Thank you for your reaction! I share your opinions and indignation. I remember when I first became aware of these hard hardships and struggles that our boys went through. I was very sad to come across immense intolerance and why not say cruelty in the world. The worst thing is that they still face these things today. But, thankfully the members have each other and ARMYs to lean on. I believe that this trajectory has profoundly contributed to the construction and growth of what BTS is and everything they represent for us today. These boys are not perfect, nor do they pretend to be. But they give us examples every day of humility, affection, attention, dedication and love for others. They are my daily dose of joy and encouragement. True angels on Earth! That's why we ARMYs love them so much and want to protect them. 💜💜💜

These guys have been through the ringer, but they continued to push forward. I think you can understand why ARMY is so protective of them. 💜

Hey you are not old ARMY, just an older ARMY. IM 60, and I teared up as well. We got our boys back in all ages.

You're sweet, but now you know why Army is so protective of our BTS ❤

The plagiarism accusation regarding Blood Sweat and Tears was such a hit piece. The artist in question said point blank he never considered it as such and was a fan of BTS's work.

I totally get the anger that you felt hearing about those threats to Jimin. As a proud Texan from Oak Cliff it set off a rage in me that that would happen here of all places. We are supposed to be known as friendly people and our hospitality has been shouted from the rooftops for my whole 43 years on this earth. The threats and hurtful words to all of them hurt my soul. Those men are some of the most beautiful, loving humans i have ever seen and I will never understand the twisted thought process it takes to hate on genuinely good people.

Anytime I see people react to there hardships I get the chills and I cry every time they have been through so much and them still being together just tells you how much they care and push through to be there for us

BTS before they debuted were dancers, J-Hope and Jungkook danced for fashion shows and singers that needed help with back up dancers, RM and Suga rapped underground until they debuted and became an official idol group. These artists that spoke in that panel and said that BTS rappers weren't real rappers actually tried out for BTS until they found out they were going to turn into an idol group. So underground disowned them and after they debuted they were ousted out of music shows because they came from a small agency. It was very difficult to find their work in the 2013s and 2014s. So many today say "OH NO" you don't know what your talking about but the few of us in the US who really worked at trying to follow them early on it was difficult because Music Shows would not show their videos. Later Big Hit themselves would record them and show the videos. Be aware that most of the problems come from fans of idol groups that hate that their own idol group doesn't get enough love from their fans. Even today these idols fans are again blaming BTS for Sajaegi so much so that the government of Korea is now investigating BTS for Chart Manipulation (Sajaegi). On the Mysogyny claims Boy In Love and War of Horomones were songs that objectify women. My take on it has always been that boys see girls different than girls see girls and to tell the truth girls see boys they way boys would not like and I am sure there are songs written from a young Taylor Swift that boys would not like same with Olivia Rodrigo but because BTS was talking about girls in a way boys do they were "obviously mysogynistic which was not true.

Breaks my heart that the hate against them is still ongoing. Even as we watch your reaction. How? Why? BTS only want to share their music with the world! If haters don’t like their music or what they represent, then they should just ignore them and leave them alone. Why the vicious attacks and false accusations? Haters and antis are really evil people.

What’s sad is now that they are in the service the wolves have come out and it is BAD! I honestly worry for their mental health. How much can one person or group take. THIS is one of the main reasons BTS and ARMY have such an indestructible bond. BTS knows that ARMY is there for them. Just in the past few months the Maknae line and RM have faced hate. RM simply posted a song and apparently people in one side of the Middle East war don’t like that person so they were awful to RM. A black person that V worked with on his solo album gave him a durag. Someone saw it hanging behind him in a live, so he tried it on for them and antis said he was being racist and disrespectful to black people. Some try to drag them into the war and have tried to get them boycotted because they haven’t spoken out. Honestly some were already in the service abs couldn’t speak out even if they wanted to. I don’t believe in shaming or trying to force people to take your side in these complex issues. In recent months Sasaengs have bothered V and JK. One follower V into the elevator where he LIVES and presented him with a marriage license. JK has them showing up at his home, the gym and sending food to his home. I saw a tweet from someone (after JK’s album came out in November asking to get in touch with Sasaengs. He said he know things about JK’s family’s routines and where they live. He was asking for someone to SL4 ugh ter JK or his family. At the end he said maybe doing it to his entire family would be best because it would break him and be harder on him. I’m sure theee is A LOT I have missed just in the last few months, but my brain, emotions and my heart are tired. I’m telling you there is e¥il out there I was unaware of before falling in love with these seven boys from Korea. I’m just a naive Texan who never knew fandoms could be so toxic. And death threats for ANY OF THEM are an outrage. If you want to learn about what is happening now, don’t just watch any channel. One that is fair and I believe trustworthy is Fairlane at “Asian Culture and Entertainment”. She also has a Patreon where she goes into more detail.

Hi, if you want documentary content, I recommend "The Rise of Bangtan " on utube. There are 21 episodes around 30 minutes each...leading up to 2018. Its a lot of information, but the editor did an amazing job tell the stories! Love BTS💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

My entry into BTS was tru a hate video on YT, I was just searching and o found a video that I decide to watch and it was about this man called Jimin, and the things that where said there and showed, and the many and many comments endorsing that, was so discussing that I decide to search who that person was, and I became in love with his purity, and soul, and that’s how I found out about BTS. So, they all have Antis that trow hate at them, even now that they are away those boys are so amazing that you ether love them are hate them. But the kind of hate if see toward JM, and the words used it’s actually sick, hope you never see it cause you gonna cry. You a cry baby 😊, I love man that has no problem showing emotions, nicely done ❤❤❤

I love the camp fire and bug analogy. They're still getting 💩 and hatred which is ARMY is so protective. And they are hated in some quarters because no one else is doing things they're doing, even while supposedly out of commission in the military. This week, ARMY was upset about something going on with them so we charted the 2017 song Not Today to #1 on ITunes on more than 60 countries' charts. People thought they would be totally inactive while they were in the service so that other artists could have opportunities to achieve more. But they are still releasing music they finished before they enlisted and ARMY still care, so we're all just still pissing people off.

Dude: the struggle is real and truly never ending. That’s why ARMYs appreciate the positivity of BTS. These men are examples of kindness and goodness in the face of constant derision. 💜

They had haters before they were anybody and have been fighting these battles from day one.

Boy In Luv was released in 2014, and is an angsty rock song about young guys confused about how to talk to girls or how to express their feelings. They were all still very young, mostly teens, half of them still in high school and the song is very age appropriate. The MV is sort of in their heads as they act out these different archetypes of bad boy, romantic, cool guy, etc. and has lines like asking dad how he wooed mom and so on. People (haters) objected to some of the behavior in the MV as too rough with the archetypal female love interest character, even though it was copying common tropes and behaviors in school romantic KDramas of it's time. It does look rough by today's standards, but was not at that time. Really, haters just like to pick on BTS and look for anything to attack. Other KPop groups had FAR WORSE things in their MVs and songs at the time, and no one said anything because they belonged to powerful labels. Boy With Luv, a pop song, was released in 2019 as an answering song, and is a part of the Map of the Soul album series. It explores a more mature understanding of love as wanting to get to deeply know and understand every small thing about your loved one. It shows a more open and more vulnerable BTS, who are more mature men, comfortable with exploring their softer side. It is dedicated to ARMY. The other song the haters went after was War of Hormone, which also came out in 2014 and is a humorous, Rock/Hip Hop song which is self-mocking about hormonal teenage boys and their shallow and confused view of girls/women. The lyrics are fun and silly and there is nothing really offensive in it imo. Both Boy In Luv and War of Hormone are straight bangers. BTS took the high ground and apologized, though I don't think they did anything wrong. On the positive side though, they did take it as an opportunity for growth and thereafter to really vet their work through professors of feminist and women's studies...which is amazing...because, who does that?? RE: V/Taehyung's Grandma - He was raised by his Grandma. So it was really like his mother had died. He was still a teenager, and they were touring overseas at the time and so he could not even be there for her memorials with his family. ARMY was worried about him, not knowing about his grandmother but seeing him visibly grieving on tour, and so he spoke because ARMYs had been asking him what was going on. Antis are hateful people who make it their life and passion to attack and hurt the object of their obsession, so they took his statement and his grief and said horrible, awful things about him, his Grandma and BTS in general. RE: The plagiarism accusations - they were always for stupid things like outfits, hair colors and styles, photos and concepts, etc. None of it ever had merit. As soon as they could afford lawyers, they sued everyone and never lost any cases. They have on staff lawyers to this day who are busy round the clock dealing with hate, attacks, slanders, etc. That reporter in the video bringing up years old plagiarism accusations was in the pay of another label and tasked with bringing the old and unfounded rumors up like that in order to keep them in the news cycle. The fact that they were asked about it becomes news in gossip rags and that gets spun into looking like it's still an ongoing issue, instead of long ago debunked. This video really only covers the tip of the iceberg. You have no idea. Incidentally, MANY groups have been copying BTS in many ways over the years as they got big. That's typical, as trends follow what's popular and what's selling. BTS has never complained or attacked anyone for it. It doesn't matter if people copy them, because they are the best at what they do and so they outshine everyone, and they are constantly reinventing themselves and growing as artists, so the copiers are always a step, or ten, behind. Right this minute there is maybe the biggest firestorm of hate they have yet faced going on in S Korea, or at least that rivals the biggest, with them being connected with and accused of everything from cult affiliations and murder to chart manipulation and cheating for awards and everything else. WHY? Because a sub-label (Ador) at their company (Hybe) has an unscrupulous psychopathic narcissist as CEO and she attempted an illegal takeover of Ador to try to steal it away from Hybe, and she got caught. To defend herself, spin the narrative and distract people she threw everyone around her under the bus and threw out accusations and name dropped left and right and cried about being abused (spoiler - she was not abused. She is actually the best paid CEO at Hybe.) Part of her campaign to steal Ador (called Project 1945) was a media and PR blitz (her specialty) to tarnish Hybe and BTS and the other Hybe groups and execs, and tank their stock and hopefully get pressure from shareholders for them to dump Ador. This started last month with a rapid-fire bot farm fueled rain of online hate with BTS coming out at the biggest target. All this while they are serving in the S Korean military, earning awards, accolades and early promotions for their exemplary service, and unable to defend themselves or speak about all the hate. It seems that most of the hate is coming from bot farms out of China. Hybe is in the process of legally getting the crazy CEO out, but it will take some more weeks for that process of shareholder meetings and court battles, and in the meantime, this storm is ongoing. To show support for BTS, ARMY is shooting the seven year old song "Not Today" up the charts. So far in the last few days it has jumped up to #1 on iTunes in 60+ countries. I am not sure if it's at #1 in the US yet. Last I checked it was sitting at #2 or 3. If we keep it going, it will rechart on Billboard next posting period later this week. We do this periodically to send messages to BTS, like how we jumped "Spring Day" which is about the grief of missing a loved one, up the charts when the last of them enlisted in the Military last December. RE: the death threats against Jimin - They were actually rather serious and Yoongi/Suga started to dress as Jimin when they were travelling on tour and put Jimin behind him physically when they were in crowds to protect him. Even though Jimin is an expert in about 4 martial arts, his brothers took steps to protect him with their own bodies. I'm not sure if you understood about the military stuff. A whole bunch of music labels **NOT** including BTS's label Big Hit, went to the government to complain that they should exempt KPop stars from service or change the law because they contribute to the nation's economy and it's "soft power" (global cultural and socio-political influence.) They used BTS as their main example for this, even though they were not involved in this and did not ask for an exemption or exception and had said they would serve when it was their time. So, the other labels were trying to ride on BTS' backs to get exemptions for their own groups, so they didn't lose profits by them enlisting at the peak of their careers in their 20s. But this ploy of using BTS as their example backfired. The government said, OK, I see your point, we will grant two year extensions (so they would have to enlist by 30 instead of 28) but only to those who have won the Hagwon Order of Cultural Merit Medal/Award, the highest civilian honor for the arts that the S Korean government grants, and basically like being Knighted. But BTS are the only ones who qualify, because they are the youngest recipients of the award in S Korean history. Normally it goes to artists who have already had a decades long career and their period of military service is already far behind them. So BTS were the only kids who had yet to serve in the military who had the award. So then the companies were mad, and 26 companies filed a complaint that the law was unfair and called it "The BTS Law." Hilarious. To add further insult to those other companies, most BTS members did not even use this special extension at all. Jin and Suga are the only ones who waited basically til their deadline to enlist. The others are all younger and yet all enlisted around the same time period so that they would get out near the same time and could get back to one another and to ARMY. No other KPop group has done this, enlisted all together, unless they were all exactly the same age and had to enlist at the same time because they were all due. But enlisting years early in order to get back to their group and their fans has never happened before. Not only that, they are serving with distinction, earning honors and awards and early promotions, and some of them are in some of the hardest units in the military. V went into a black ops counter terror unit and was complimented by the S Korean president on his sharp shooting. Jimin went into artillery fire control, usually reserved for math and physics majors because of the intense calculus needed to perform those duties, but Jimin is well known to be a math genius. He is also serving under a Companion Soldier/Buddy System with Jungkook, meaning they are always together. So although we know that Jungkook is serving as a cook, a skill he really enjoys, he is also most likely doing support duties for Jimin in fire control as well, and both of them also just completed a very intense training with the US Marines in S Korea. Jin and j-hope were both made training instructors and commanders and both are now Seargents. Suga ended up with a civil service job because of his old shoulder injury and surgery and is a regional manager somewhere. RM surprised us and went into the military band, playing the saxophone. Jin returns next month (!!) and Hobi/j-hope is back in October. The rest will return in summer of 2025.

It's ironic that you're watching this just as BTS is yet again going through more of this shit as we speak, while they're enlisted and can't fight back. It's all so exhausting. It's so true that the bigger you are, the bigger the target.

I’m a toddler army. I just discovered that jungkook clip and it’s heartbreaking. They’re only nice to him now bc of his status. Also, I love “war of hormone” and as an Asian American woman, I’m not offended at all. Definitely recommend adding that to your list.

Boy in Luv was a depiction of that hotblooded kind of love that schoolboys will show. It was kid stuff, but people were looking for reasons to hate on BTS. Later they wrote and performed Boy with Luv to show what mature versions of love looked like for young men.

Like RM and Suga said, I rather get hate comments than none, atleast we are getting noticed. And as we all mention, karma is a Army! Hate as you may and don't wish for their downfall as they will only rise. Not only from their past of being bullied and looked down... thankfully our boys grown and learned from to be that voice for others who have faced similar hardships. This is why they help support others who may be facing the same issues... I'm so glad that they can give a voice to those who may have suffering and more than that, use their musical talent and influence to show self love! ❤💜💜

The worst thing about that radio interview was they were invited there to celebrate their 1 year since debut....And then were ambushed by haters

I never felt you more than when you we're screaming and asking why anyone would think of sending death threats to jimin. We, too, are still wondering why. He didn't deserve it. They don't deserve it.

4:32 Nesto you are so right and never apologize for talking too much I love hearing your insight

And it's really sad BTS are still going through same hate train right now. Even after their so much hard work, the country itself was against them where the members are serving that country. Please army, we have to do our best with Namjoon's upcoming single and album RPWP.

The notorious burger incident makes me want to cry to this day! Jungkook, poor baby, wanted to feed everyone and they basically said it looked like something they wouldn't feed their dog. He wanted to cry🥺🥺. Fast forward to when BTS ruled the universe and those men officially apologized to JK. AS THEY SHOULD. BAM!

BoraCity has great BTS documentaries too ! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

This is the exact reason why ARMY'S are really protective over our BTS💜💜💜

jhope has a 6-episode documentary, HOPE ON THE STREET, on Am@2on about dance. I wanted to mention since you first brought up your B-boy background. It touches upon popping, locking, house, breakdancing, etc. It's so worth the watch (on your free time).

The haters can just die hating and shitting lol. While Armies all over the world are cheering BTS on. The more BTS gets hate, the bigger BTS becomes. At the end BTS always win, that's why they are the biggest Artists on this planet.🥰💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

V grandparents raised him because V mother and father was working very hard during the weekday (farmers) but his parents would pick him up every weekend to spend time with V.

This is why there is a saying that this world is too cruel and some are too pure for this cruel world

That thing with the burgers and Jk being so young and trying to explain they weren't leftovers breaks my heart every fㅗ키ng time ! It gets me so mad 😠

DO NOT TOUCH JIMIN!! So cute..i love your reaction..☺️💜 I purple you💜💜💜💜💜💜!

Hi Pops, as I mentioned before I'm 57-year-old Dallas native here and Army, thank you for doing this video. I feel like more people should understand who they are and what they stand for, like you mention that, no one time did the guys get mad, scream, yell or do something back to anyone who sent threats or damaged their group. They have so much class and are so very humble! Like you said RM is the most humble, nice, educated man on the planet. FACTS, how dare you threaten our Jim in!!!!!!! love your reaction, purple you!

💔💔💔😭😭😭 I'm a relatively new Army and knewed only a few of this things befor this video, but never the sum... wtf. That really brokes my heart for this 7 young men knowing that there is the next shitstorm in progress. I really don't want to refuse this barefaced jealous humans in this way, cause hate create only more hate. Why are this humans to be/act this way? I'll never understand this! Please Army's and BTS, let's stay together, take care for each other, live our true colorful beeing and sing louder than every hate in this world might be 🫶💜🎵🎵🎵❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤎🩵🩷🤍💛💜🫰🫶

What is even better is that this is happening even now. Taking the opportunity of them being away and mind you doing their civic duty along w/ providing a big chunk for a group to the country's GNP accusing the same. Jealously is ageless.

Welcome to the daily life of ARMYs...for more than 10 years every information that is published concerning BTS has been commented on by haters who write comments to vomit...We are called "Toxic" because we protect and defend the boys! ! The worst is that the reputable accusations ten years ago are resurfacing, fueled by these same haters who are taking advantage of the absence of BTS to try to torpedo their agency...I really liked the sincerity of your reaction...You have become a precious ARMY..Thank you 🤗💜💜💜

No need to apologize for talking ''too much'', it's a reaction after all and we want to hear your input, what you think about the guys and how you relate to them the same way we relate to them. It is great to see you react to these kinds of videos and not only music, because it shows that you want to learn more. So many react to the songs without any context that it feels like they just want views by using bangtang's name on the title. Thank you for appreciating our 7 miracles, struggles and all, just like a real ARMY. Hugs from Chile!💜

Thank you so much for reacting to this video😊. I love your reaction and you are hilarious😂. When you listened Jimin got death threat, your reaction made me laught so much ❤❤❤. Looking forward to your next reaction😊

I am still upset with the show host who made JK kneel on the pavement

Bts is still going through these issues today still after gunna be 11 years coming up it's ridiculous and army is getting pulled into it as well.

I enjoy hearing you share your experiences, like teaching kids and your biboy stories. Please stop and share whenever you feel the need. I am enjoying all of your video reactions. Btw, I’m a 68 yo grandma that became Army in 2015 thru my granddaughter. All members of BTS feel like my grandsons. Capri Marie is a natural copilot for you.

In their current absence, Big Hit is currently dealing with renewed accusations of Saejki from the period of time mentioned in Celeste’s video. Apparently, someone presented petitions to the SK Government ministry of Culture, Sport and Tourism. Here we go again…ARMY is MAD AS HELL! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

These are just some of the reasons Armys will always do our best to help protect and stand up for our 7 Angel's called BTS. 💜

War of Hormones is a great song!! It's not misogynistic at all! You will definitely want to react to it. It just fun! Very normal boy seeing pretty girls. 😍

"Hating ass haters", is now one of my favourite phrases.

This is why Army are so protective over BTS. To this day they're subjected to the most vile and unwarranted attacks yet they remain so kind and humble.

I’m so ANGRY right now that the Korean government has brought this back up. BTS is in the military FULFILLING their HONORABLE DUTY and cannot defend themselves. Do these kind hearted, giving, respectful, humble, forgiving, loving young men have to live their whole lives with THIS DISGUSTING HATRED & DENIGRATION? I just HATE this for them. WHY? WHY? WHY? Do people feel like they have to DESTROY others because of their WELL-DESERVED ACCOLADES?! 😡😡

This was the first documentary I watched after I found BTS. It does not sugarcoat anything. The other documentaries talk more about their achievements not the fight. Thanks for viewing this.

If you're angry and frustrated watching this then you understand how protective we are of them. Imagine having to live through this shit real time. Some of these times were dark and hard, but BTS stayed strong and army stayed strong. We got through it and we always will. 💜

It amazes me how these guys perform no matter what hardship they are going through. They wear their hearts on their sleeves and that's why we love them.

Sir....I have a son older than you. I am a grandmother and a great grandmother. I want to tell you that I'm so very proud of the Father's Heart that you show here. You have a very good soul. I love many groups and music artists. BTS, Dimash and Forestella are a few of them. I am a white American lady. I wasn't going to comment at first, then saw your heartfelt tears for V. I was extremely close to my own Grandma who suddenly passed away when I was in my early 40's. I miss her to this day. Like yourself, it hurts my heart to see people being so vicious to one another. Again, thanks once more for, BEING YOU! Hugs from a Grandma in Las Vegas! 🥰😘

I felt the same thing when I became Army 3 years ago

Whenever i remember there story and hardships I literally cry

Unfortunately the threats to Jimin and V are constant. Harassment is repeated, this year V informed us that a stalker appeared to him in the elevator of the building where he lives. JK asked on Weverse not to follow him to the gym. We are currently in the midst of a harassment campaign planned and paid for by the CEO of one of Hyve's labels to attack Bangtan. Campaign supported by the SK media. So you will understand why we real ARMYs are very protective of Bangtan and do not support other groups.

Not long ago Jungkook also received death threats for rejecting a food sent to his house by a fan. This supposed fan also opened various Instagram accounts, threatening Jungkook.

The reason army always protect bts..

The fact that in the hamburger scene..Jungkook was a child. He was only 19 :( He was without his older brothers aka the members for the first time in a show and the hosts took advantage of it

As a mother, my heart breaks upon learning what these boys (now men) went through. They (BTS) make music to spread hope, love and motivation. Like the title of their song, they pour their blood, sweat and tears to get where they are now and they’ve been hated? If you’d like more BTS documentaries, check out Rise of Bangtan and Boracity Magazine. Both are very informative. 61 year old ARMY here… BTS forever and ever! 🫰🫰🫰

This is why we are so protective of our boys. Nobody deserves the treatment they have received and are still receiving.

I'm 76 old , American and love. BTS Beautiful boys

I am a german woman and I listened to the whole comment of this german host! I couldn´t believe it! I was soooooo ashamed and embarressed for all germans! And I still apologize to this day with all my heart for what he said if this theme comes up! ( Even if he is a hardcore fan of Coldplay and didn´t like the cover at all, he could have just said this! "It´s not to my taste how they covered this song...but here ist BTS" ) That would have been acceptable, but he was hateing!!!

If you want to watch more docu style stuff I DEFINITELY recommend Rise of Bangtan, it's a 21 episode (so far) documentary made by a fan and it includes cultural information about Korea at the time, interviews with other kpop and music people and insights into each member and their lives during each album or chapter in BTS' story. We army love it and we will watch along with you. There's also a documentary released last year on Disney+ and some behind the scenes documentaries for tours and album making like Beyond the Star, Bring the Soul, Burn the Stage, Break the Silence (you get the picture 😂)

The misogyny accusations were mostly from the song War of Hormone because it was viewed as objectifying women. It's actually one of my favorites from their Dark & Wild album but I see all the posturing about girls as just an accurate reflection of how teen boys think. And honestly, as an American, it's a tremendously innocent song compared to anything you hear on US radio. But all the ridiculousness started waaayy after the album was released and I think it was just something that fans of another group dug up to harass them after they started to get more popular. All the plagiarism and sajaegi accusations are one reason I think BTS doesn't do the payola system to get radio play in the US. They were put through hell when they were young and poor for that and now even though they could afford to pay for radio play if they wanted to, they refuse to. 99% of this has to do with jealousy ftom other groups' fans who view all of this as competition and Korean media trying to shut them out because they were outsiders from the local industry.

I love watching reactors learning about their hardships and then coming to the understanding of why we are so protective! Thank you for doing this!

Now you understand why ARMY is so defensive for our boys. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I'm a 73 year old woman I can relate to these pain over the loss of his grandma ♥️

Happy suggestion song made by DT Parker - Mochi La La La' THE JIMIN EFFECT💜

The rise of bangtan documentary created by army is by far the best documentary. Please watch it!

Jimin is a ninja!! He would wipe the floor with some sorry SOB!! And as far as the BTS haters... Well the last laugh is on them because BTS collectively have set world records!!🎤🫰🏼💜

As hard as this is to watch the actual payback is that all the awards that these amazing artists have prove what Army’s have known all along-such talent and hard-work pay off in the end. They are all millionaires several times over and are how old? Like Suga says bring on the hate-it makes them work harder. The bond between BTS and Army is like no other and if you aren’t Army you will never understand because it is so unique. I say again-all of their awards speak for themselves. The sad part is that they are such genuinely good humble men that they would never say anything against another group or artists. These are just a small number of reasons Army will love and protect BTS.

They were out of the country when Vs grandma past suddenly. His grandparents raised him. His one wish was that she could see him on tv or see a performance. He was heartbroken away from family and trying to perform. Fans noticed how sad he looked so he tried to explain. There are evil people out there. So sad

And that is why ARMY is their shield. We are so protective.

Even now, in 2024, it's the same thing... people call us crazy for how much we defend the guys but it's because we've dealt with this kind of hate against them since the very get go. RM always took the brunt of the international hate; he would read the awful things said and only translate the good for the other 6 members, so they were more protected for a while. Celeste is very amazing for all the videos she's put together over the years for ARMY.

Welcome to learning what we as ARMY and BTS have been through. People think it's all roses and sunshine but we have been through hell and never left their side.

4:30 and im already crying. How many times have i watched this? Yes!

First of all, I’m sorry for the long comment but I took the time to write this bc I think it’s SO important to be aware of this as an army bc it will be in BTS history. I think you should know what is going on nowadays bc sadly BTS is receiving probably their biggest hate train in their whole career. Before talling everything I want to make some notes so you can understand the whole thing better: -BTS comes from BigHit entertainment a small company. -HYBE is a label that was basically built by BTS' success. BigHit Ent. created it and then BigHit rebrand as BigHit Music. Hybe It's a label bc it has a lot of old and new companies and there's even hybe america that includes companies with artists like Ariana Grande, J Balvin and Justin Bieber. Okay now, Everything started with the scandal between Hybe and Min Heejin (the CEO of ‘Adore label’ that is under Hybe and the artistic director of the group NewJeans). I’m not going into details bc that’s a long story but basically Hybe announced that they have opened an internal investigation into her, claiming that she allegedly tried to secretly plot a coup to seize Ador in order to become independent by leaving Hybe. And just before her sudden 2 hours press conference accusing Hybe of a “slave contract“ and Bang PD for copying her formula for a new girl group, Hybe accuses her of having contacted external financiers to carry out her project and announce she had conversations with a shaman taking important decisions in business with the shaman advices and her asking the shaman to send BTS to the military service bc that will benefit her. Armys were ignoring or watching the drama but when BTS was mentioned, everything went crazy. Armys were mostly saying she’s insane or making jokes about the shaman lol. Then, other fandoms related and not related of hybe started hating other groups mentioned in this whole situation and mostly BTS. Then Army started defending BTS left and right, but that is not the main problem here bc after all these are the stupid typical fan wars that they receive daily. The thing that made everything serious is when man korean citizens seemed to be in Min Heejin’s side and then new Korean Twitter accounts with 0 followers started having hit tweets talking bad about BTS and making rumors. Then, a lot of big kpop news accounts joined and articles and media starting doing that as well, accusing BTS of fake rumors, like saying they are part of a cult and bringing back plagiarism accusations. At this point the hate was massive (and ridiculous to be honest) to the point the cult mentioned denied that rumor and BigHir made TWO announcements about taking string legal actions agains all those people hating and spreading rumors and doing an investigation bc apparently all of this was planned by a viral company. BTS found itself mixed up in this enormous media charade. Because Hybe was founded on the foundations of Big Hit Entertainment and the vast majority of its income comes from revenue contributed by BTS. Now big articles and important media in South Korea have been publishing all kinds of rumors about them, including accusations that they bought awards, cheated on their records, plagiarized music... Accusations which have not being talked in the international press much bc there's not evidence. Anyways, things were already out of control there, but what happened a couple of days ago was the last straw. The announcement that “The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will order an investigation into the alleged chart-rigging practice, known as sajaegi in Korea, of boy band BTS's agency HYBE back in 2017.” CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?? BTS are the ones that had an organic growth. They have brought billions of money to that country and recognition and this is how they pay them? This piss me off. It’s so sad how they are constantly targeted in sht when they have done nothing wrong. By the way, sajaegi is when the company is buying A LOT albums or songs so artists can win in Korean shows awards. BTS has been receiving that accusation literally from their first show win with ‘I need u’ just bc they were beating big companies but these allegations were denied bc bight was in bankruptcy back then and didn’t have power. And now they are bringing back this but in 2017?? I’m sorry but BTS has always had a loyal and dedicated fandom. Their concerts back then are a PROOF of that. Hopefully everything goes okay. They should do that same investigation to other kpop groups to see who are the fraudulents here bc their numbers never match when it comes to streams, followers, sells and concerts… Anyways, this whole situation is so sad bc BTS are right now serving in the military for their country while Korea has turned their backs to them… THEY DON’T DESERVE BTS. Right now armys are so united and angry. We are leaving positive messages to the members and we are charting their songs! Right me ‘NOT TODAY’ is #1 worldwide in the iTunes Charts. 💜 BTS are being ignored at home. k-army is saying that citizens are taking this really bad bc it’s like if an athlete in the Olympics got golden medal but with drugs/duping. Which is fcking ridiculous bc they are the biggest band in the world right now and they were the biggest in sk since years ago . That sajaegi accusation don’t erase all the achievements they have gotten over the years before and after 2017. I hope the people around the members during their military service believes in BTS and comfort them if they feel bad. 🥺 Once again, sorry for the long LONG comment 😭

Yes... this is why Army are overly protective of BTS and always will be... people have no idea of what they faced and still do to this day.... Thank you for reacting to Rosan's (xCeleste) video... she is awesome and we love her work. A lot of other groups and their fandoms did not want BTS winning awards or taking spots on the music shows.... so it became an absolute hate onslaught at times... I say this all the time, but I will be forever grateful to those KArmy who were there from before debut championing for our guys and keeping them on the shows to be seen by supporting and voting for them. I've been Army since 2014 but those guys were there from when the boys were trainees.... We would not be having this conversation without them. 💜

I think after seeing all the crap they were pushing through, it's important to watch IDOL, and see how they *chose* to process all the fertilizer that got shoved their way, and use it to radiate borahae to the world.💜

No matter how many years has passed this still makes me emotional.. it breaks my heart 💔💔

This is why the members are extremely careful with what they show in cam. There will always be envy, haters, etc.

Hi dear. 68yo ARMY here. Just some random info....in 2017 BTS partnered with UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund). They just started their new campaign to help children with mental health issues. Since 2017 BTS and ARMY have donated 6.6 million dollars to UNICEF...and no I can't take any of the credit myself. But anyway hurry back sweet dear.💜

As I’m retired now, I am slowly buying all the older BTS CDs.

These guys have proved for the past over10 years how good they are as a group and also there solo careers winning many awards and are still going strong and will do again after there military service thumbs up to these guys UK XX
