Director Reacts - BTS - MMA 2019 Full Live Performance 

This is an old meme, but it's so nice that BTS allowed an award show to happen in the middle of their concert :)

The fact that Suga did all that with a bad shoulder is crazy

I can't imagine any Western music awards show as epic as this. It feels like a water down version after I experience BTS performance

I can honestly say these seven boys have changed my life. I have a stronger relationship with my husband and family, finally got tattoos I've talked about for years, am changing my career after 24 years and am looking forward to all of it. The song Mikrokosmos and these boys helped me get there. I did the work but their energy and music cheered me on along the way.

Now you know why this is called the best live performance EVER by anyone! BTS is amazing!

I read somewhere that JK would practice singing on an inclined treadmill, in order to increase his lung power. Those kids practiced 16 hours a day. Bang Si Hyuk and his group were absolutely brilliant and genius, when they put together this group. I am 77 years old, and I have seen a lot of talent. There will never be another BTS!

The Grammys have nothing on these boys even though they keep giving the awards to substandard celebrities that wud never be able to surpass this type of act. BTS FOREVER💜💜💜💜BORAHAE

you never get tired of watching any of their award shows...just unsurpassed ...to this day. No other group ...no other company...has put in as much time...effort...expense ...and top live performance more than bts big hit....

I cannot comprehend how the body can endure that high level of physical performance, dancing in sync and singing at the same time for that long!!!

that's why so many kpop artists groups look up to them because of their stage presence. Yes the production/crew planned & put together the stages BUT it's the boys themselves practiced tons & their expression & energy delivered so perfectly at the end. & amen- no one can take moments like this away from us or BTS!

I guess I’m one of the quiet ones. I don’t usually say much, but I picked right when I joined the Couch Crew. I was late to see this live with you, but your reaction mirrored mine so much it was like I was watching and experiencing it again for the first time. Joyous, awestruck, proud, appreciative, grateful. There aren’t enough words to express how I feel about BTS, how they saved me, and being Army, but your reactions and how they are affecting you are a close embodiment. Thank you Captain. My Sunday was made better by you.

It looks like their concert ,not an award show... this is a masterpiece...💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

The marvel of BTS is their strength of love, trust and respect for each other. They never once try to outshine one another whether it be for their art or their persona. Their music is an amalgamation of their 7 talented and beautiful souls. Where only 2 Gallagher brothers was the death of Oasis. Here we have BTS! 💜

That last part, we’ll said captain💜 Facts! These guys are worthy of our time, and I wish so many people weren’t missing out because of closed mindedness.

❣️This was from the annual Melon Music Awards, a Korean award show the equivalent to the BBMA’s. BTS swept the awards, thus closed the award show, though many other artists did indeed performed beforehand. The cost of the production for BTS entertainment company BigHit, was over 500K dollars, and all the in-house production team of BigHit started planning it over half a yr beforehand! Also most of the rehearsal time that BTS had was while they were touring worldwide. But they all were quite into doing this, and somehow managed to fit in the rehearsal like they did the yr before. All the solo performances were prerecorded live with smaller audience the day before, though BTS did also perform a version of their solos, while the broadcasted version saw the VCR version filmed day before, with the exception to Jimin’s solo performance, who only performed live only, without the benefit of prerecorded VCR. Since there was no way to have these stage sets and tank pool of water let alone have JK, who was performing the dance in water get dried and change clothes beforehand! BTS did also perform a version of their solos, while the broadcasted version saw the VCR version filmed day before. The only one who performed live only without benefit of VCR being shown,for the broadcasted version, was Jimin, who shows here being the phenomenal, breathtakingly amazing professional dancer which he was before even signing on to BTS. Also certain songs like Mikrokosmos, as well as beginning part of RM’s Persona, was performed live beforehand and also prerecorded so they could also allow for the special effects that only people who saw the broadcast on TV in South Korea or had it stream worldwide could see that version. Also the part with the live horses was filmed beforehand without an audience.

I watched this video for the first time May of last year and Jimin’s dance solo single handedly made me fall head over heels into Kpop

Breathe, Roscoe, breathe. The one in 2018 was incredible too

the award shows became bts concerts....every single time....and now these performances become testimony to how great these guys are...

BTS are 1 of a kind number 1 in my eyes. I'm 51 they help me through my illness I have for life thanks captain ❤❤

Subscribed for your 'they can never take this moment from us' comment. Being an ARMY is a gift that enhances life, it's no exaggeration to say.

What I love about this is that we all know them so well 😂 I love how you knew Jimin is a little nervous. It's like we know exactly what they're thinking because we know them so well. I don't think any other musician and fan base can say that.

Your closing statements are 100%. I have been with you since the beginning...but i am a quiet lurker. The fact that you "get it" speaks volumes to my soul...we are all ARMY soulmates! Borahae!

Love BTS. Can you just imagine what the parents of these boys are feeling as they watch their son do this. I can't even comprehend....[tears]

this is the reason why I love BTS so much, their performance is always epic and entertaining...I have watched this performance countless times with the youtube reactors just to see their reactions, never get bored...

The first time I saw one of their award shows I was in disbelief. Thankfully they will be on the internet forever because any time we miss them they are at our fingertips. Watching them is a true experience. Vocals, visuals,artistry, they are special for a reason.When you write your own music and lyrics they are specially for each member.That’s why when someone else sings their songs it’s not the same.They are now and will forever have the distinction of being unsurpassed 💜

On Suga's Suchwita show he talks with Hoshi from SVT, who says that BTS raised the bar on what's expected of an award show performance. So now everyone goes all out with staging and dancers 😂

❣️Jimin’s solo performance, wearing a modernized hanbok just fastened by ties only, had many different dance elements in it! Including the barrel leaps taken from Korean dance elements, some martial arts elements, (trained for 8 yrs in various forms w/blackbelt in Taekwondo), & of course contemporary dance. Also, equally ever so stunningly outstanding, was Jimin's scarf work, which is alone so hard to master, without getting that ever so thin veil of a scarf all tangled! Jimin somehow was able to make the scarf one with himself, using it as an extension, even at one point when he did that amazing jump leap straight up the scarf becoming his wings!! Jimin's whole performance was so amazingly stunningly beautiful. Just so effortlessly breathtakingly mesmerizing to see!! Though the other members did a version of their solo performances for benefit of the live audiences, for the broadcast version as seen here, viewer see the prerecorded version, that was prerecorded the day before, since especially JK’s performance in water with that heavy tank that weighed a ton wouldn’t be able to maneuver for live audience, as well as some of the other effects seen like for Mikrokosmos, also the part with the horses was obviously prerecorded as a safeguard for the horses. It also gave a chance for BTS come up for air as well as give them time to change. Jimin was the only one who didn’t have the benefit of prerecorded VCR, which meant that for his solo performance by the broadcasted version, viewers saw Jimin perform live only. While the broadcast version showed for rest of members the prerecorded version. But once again the live audience did get an opportunity to see BTS members do a version of their solos.

Tell me if this presentation is not out of the ordinary. in some awards!! They are creative, great, they give everything on stage. BTS as a whole are magical.

Thanks for your reaction. I totally agree with you. Even when we don't know what will happen in the future, we will have pleasant memories of their presentations. There is no artist like them in the world. Someone 47 years old tells you. They are unique, and their legacy will live on. Life wanted me to be able to see these guys perform and I hope it gives me much more life to see them together doing wonderful things.

Это шикарно, потрясающе. БТС это бомба🎉🎉🎉🎉 Самые классные и профессиональные ребята и чтобы там не говорили о них, это самая лучшая и легендарная группа, уже сейчас❤❤❤❤❤ СПАСИБО, что ВЫ есть!!!! Слов нет, одни эмоции 🙏

Шедевр! Бтс фантастическая группа! Лучшие!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Jimin’s beautiful, elegant dance was the highlight for me!💜🐥👼🏻🤴

And that's why they're global famous bulletproof boys

My fave part was Jimin’s Solo. It was pure ART. 2018 Melon music award Jimin gained attention and the Kim Baek Bong Korean Fan Dance Conservation Society has presented Jimin with a plaque of appreciation for his epic Korean fan dance. In 2019 Melon Music award Jimin again snatched attention. He became the hot topics and trended worldwide as “trending emperor”, “trending fairy” and “recruiting fairy” as he snatched countless locals/GP and international celebrities. Jimin isnt titled “King of Kpop” “Idol of Idols” “ Rookie’s Bible” “Dance God” “Stage Commander” for nothing. He sets the bar of a kpop idol too high yet still being humble with global manners.

I think they intended this to be their last big award show performance before the MOTS tour, after which Jin was to enter the military and everyone was to do solo work and enter the military one-by-one - what they’re doing now, but two years ago. I think that’s why this was so big, and why the MMAs gave them this much time. There was probably more uncertainty back then about whether they would come back as seven after enlistment, etc., but they blew up even more after this thanks to the pandemic/Dynamite/Butter…and they missed out on their intended huge worldwide stadium tour.

When it (finally, FINALLY!) ended, the fact that you just sat there in stunned silence for an entire minute… and then, “This is an AWARD SHOW?????” 🤣🤣🤣 I did the exact same thing when I saw it. That and, sometime around the time the horses came out, yelling ‘This is NOT YOUr CONcERT, bOYs!!!’ Magnificent. Still just utterly incredible.

the most humble group in human history. . 💜🥰 seven amazing dude they are so talented as a group, but also individually talented too.once you know them you never ignore them and I'm sure you love them as well, I love there honest lyrics and spread positivity thru there music only BTS turn an award show into a concert 😂💜

What I like about your channel Roscoe, u REALLY gives reaction to BTS content. U r not just watching, u really feel it, enjoy it and gives pure emotions❤❤❤

In the beginning BTS was hungry for fans and now they have the world as fans.

One of my favorite bts live performances. The owned that night and 2019 was an amazing year for the boys

And that was an AWARDS show!!!!!!! Could you IMAGINE, being there live?!?

“Moments like this- they can never take away from us…” well said captain. 💜 👍

I'm new to this beautiful community, and I'm very happy to have found you by chance and to give me the opportunity to watch your videos! I love you all, you are great and a person with a great I had a great time watching your videos in my free time, you were a great company. Thank you for all your reactions to BTS and for giving them a chance. They are beautiful people. They have changed my life and I am very happy that people know them! So thank you, your content is great, not only for the reactions but for your words, advice, and the familiarity with which you make your videos.I'm using a translator to write since I don't know how to speak English, so I hope the message was understood well hahaha greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷 💜💜

Wish I could have caught this during your reaction......😂😂.......YES.....THIS WAS EPIC.......THIS was History in the making from our 7 Kings❤ LOVE your reaction !!!!

Спасибо большое за ваше отношение к BTS ,плюсую и умножаю,они достойны всех наград💯💜💜💜

I CANT BELIEVE I MISSED THIS LIVE REACTION! I'M DYING OVER HERE 🤣 Just like OH BOY he's not readyyyy!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 This performance has lived RENT-FREE in my head for YEARS since the first time I saw it. Then learned all the little details I had missed, like the Dyonisus constellation with the lights and little symbolisms...GOD-TIER performance forever 🔥 Absolute KINGS that our guys are!

I've always wondered when you were going to watch this epic performance and I'm glad you finally did 😊. I'm also one of those who's just at the couch watching and listening to everyone bec I feel safe here with you & the couch crew..thank you captain for creating this safe space for us, to be able to share the impact that BTS has in our lives. BTS saved me from spiraling down while I dove down the rabbit hole and I've never been happier 💜

It's a BTS flex, is what it is

This is the first time I’ve seen your reaction to the BTS MMA 2019 performance! I always laugh now at anyone’s reaction to this performance - going from awestruck to disbelief to utter respect is always a treat for me. I cannot even say how many times I have seen this performance. I’ve lost count, but I watch it all the way through every time! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Jin voice really good

I can't believe you haven't done this already, but so glad I could watch it with you. Seen it many times, but it Never gets old! As for your ending statements, yes, we will always have this to look or think back on (and so will they!), as well as all their other MV's, Lives, Dance Practices, RUN BTS shows, In The Soop, Bon Voyage, etc. etc. I really can't state how thankful I am that I found BTS in May 2021 (sad I was so late in finding them, but at least I did) and never looked back. Never in my life (and I'm old) have I fangirled quite so much over a group. I'm obsessed with these 7 young men from South Korea - their talents, their hard work, everything about them! It's only BTS for me! My checkbook isn't very happy about that, but I don't care. 🙂

BTS iconic for stage performances and breakdances is a killer… nothing compares they are the king of stage performances. I haven’t seen any group doing same thing only BTS

I will never shut up about the exclusivity! To have ppl of color towards the end ( especially the two beautifully darker brown women sitting with harps at both ends of the table) just chefs kiss 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 We love to see it 💜💜💜

This was such an amazing performance! They always give it their all no matter if it's a full show or a commercial. 💜💜💜

This performance is a masterpiece 🤌🏼! I went to PTD LV D2 and let me tell you, their concerts are AMAZING!! Super awesome, they’re so fun, love the way they interact with ARMY, the energy is nonstop, all of ARMY are sweet (not one bad or negative encounter)..all in all, going to a BTS concert changes you 🫰🏼

They are worthy of the title of seven kings💜

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo BTS!!!!

Best ever performance at a bloody awards show EVER!! God I love these guys!!!

You had same reaction we did when it happened!! Usually acts get one song per award won that year. Since BTS won almost every award that night and ALL the major ones including album, song, group, and artists of the year-- they did 35 minutes!!! It was epic and I had goosebumps then and now!!!

💐7AWARDS! FOR 7KINGS!👑👑👑👑👑👑👑💜

Thank you for all of your comments and insights to this performance. It’s made all the difference for me. These young people and their talent and their creativity, and their artistic source that they put out in front of everyone willingly is certainly a thing of beauty.

I’ve been hearing about this for months and finally got to see it for the first time with Roscoe. It did not disappoint. It was incredible. How do they do it? 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Yep, they are legends and that’s why the American music Industry screws them over any chance they get (recent example: what they did to Jimin!)! They are scared $hitless of them! And then they thought they’d be free of them when they started their hiatus… Instead, they have our talented boys’ solos works to contend with…and now they’re scared $hitless of EACH of them alone! 😂 Can you imagine anyone putting on a show like that in the U.S.? I mean, when was the last time we’ve seen a performance even 1/2 as good as this?! NEVER!!!!! These boys cannot be defeated - together or apart!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Thankyou so much director you were so amazing just watching you was a special treat ❤️❤️🫢

BTS'S PERFERT PROFESSIONALIZM IS OFF THE CHARTS! THESES YOUNG MEN HAD PROVEN THEIR STARDOM EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM ! BREATH TAKEN . IT WAS A MOMENT OF PURE PLEASURE TO WITNESS THIS AWARDS PERFORMANCE ! ❤

This live was EPIC!!! I'm so glad that I was there to see you watch it!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I remember watching this for the first time last year. I have watched it do many times and see/ understand something new everytime. It was a legendary performance!

I LOVE YOUR REATIONS

Você disse tudo meu amigo esses 7 rapazes são dignos do nosso tempo sim!!!Sou Army a 1 ano e nesse 1ano tive a oportunidade de conhecer como é cada um,sua personalidade como se cuidam se amam como se fossem irmãos de sangue mesmo!!!Passaram por muita coisa juntos até serem rejeitados dentro do seu próprio País!!!Pensaram até em desistir mas a coragem e vontade vencerem juntos falou mais alto.São seres humanos exemplares milionários é claro mas a alma é nobre e humilde estão sempre pensando no próximo e ajudando de alguma forma!!!Permaneceram unidos até que veio a pandemia tiveram que dar um tempo em suas carreiras em grupo!!!Fizeram seus trabalhos solos que por sinal todos incríveis impecáveis!!!Agora cada um estão aguardando o chamado para o alistamento militar,três já foram tudo acontecendo mas a união,cumplicidade sempre ali em evidência para o mundo!!! Faltam 4 para se alistarem mas com a promessa de que em 2025 voltarão juntos como grupo!!!Enfim resumindo são exemplos pra muitas personalidades por aí que nunca fizeram a metade do que eles fizeram para o bem estar do ser humano necessitado de cuidados básicos que o direito de todos!!!! 7 anjos de luz que vieram a este mundo enviados por Deus para nos transmitir amor, esperança,empatia e de mais puro que o ser humano pode ter a humildade!!!Muitos vão me criticar por tudo que disse,a mim não importa!!!Essa é minha opinião sobre BTS e o que eles podem e fazem em nossas vidas pelo simples fato de existirem!!Eu enquanto tiver vida,saúde e forças sempre os apoiarei mesmo sabendo que cortiço risco deles nunca me conhecerem!!! Mas o que fizeram em minha vida sem saberem pra mim já mais que um presente mudaram minha vida só pra melhor!!!!Quem é Army de verdade sabe muito bem do que estou falando!!!!Por isso reforço o conselho desse diretor vá procure saber um pouquinho que seja sobre a trajetória de cada um quem ainda não conhece doe um pouco do seu tempo pra eles vocês não vão se arrepender digo isso por experiência própria do efeito que eles causam sobre nós!!!!Agradeço a vc diretor por suas palavras lindas a respeito do grupo!!!!Eu comecei a te seguir pouco tempo mas já deu pra perceber que você realmente o que bom e o que vale a pena!!!!!!❤❤💜💜💜💜🐨🐱🐣🐯🐰🐹🐿️!!!!

I'm so happy I found your channel! I've made a very concerted effort to be mindful of everything I watch and listen to over the last year. And anything with a smidge of negativity doesn't get a seat at the table with me at it. Community and Love above all. 💜

I watched this countless of times but im still amazed by their performance one of the best 🔥💜

I always comment when I watch this performance..the other nominees just sing their latest single 😂 🤣 😄 😆

So loved your reaction! The fact that you were excited by what you recognized, in awe of what you didn't & genuine appreciation of everything that went into the performances. Plus, THIS IS AN AWARDS SHOW??!!! What my mind screamed and then I think on the Grammys & other awards shows and felt so cheated and still do. Except for Pink's Glitter in the Air.. (another under appreciated artist).

I don't know you but I like you!! Good reaction and it seems like you are ARMY so thank you for discover and enjoy BTS talent! Greetings from Ecuador 💜

They are incredible people and artists, they are the best in the world, they came into my life and made it better thanks to my children and my curiosity to know who these guys were who stole my attention. Now we are all army 💜 we love them, and we suffer with them, we care if they are okay, we follow and love them, we miss them a lot. I love BTS 💜 gracias, RM,V,JIN,SUGA,JIMIN,JHOPE,JKOOK💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

tak bardzo się cieszę, że kilka dni temu trafiłam na Roscoe 😃... BTS 💜dają nam tyle emocji, które lubię przeżywać razem z Roscoe...Greetings to you from Poland

I first saw BTS in May 2019 on the Stephen Colbert show. It was in black and white and there was a drum set with BTS on it. Stephen Cobert came out first looking like Ed Sullivan. Then the group came out in suits. It took me back to the first time I saw The Beatles (yes I'm that old). I was intrigued but not only could they sing in harmony but could dance in sync, While Singing! After that performance I wanted to know everything there was to know about them. There's not much I haven't seen or heard several times. I was fortunate enough to see them in Las Vegas last year. It was an awesome experience! I hope I'm able to see them again when they reunite in 2025. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your reaction to this performance. Keep up the good work. Borahae! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 49:23

Another note (I always miss your lives so I don't know if you talked about it already) is that both MMA and MAMA 2019 are special in the selection of songs, since they planned 2020 to be their 2022 after the MOTS tour. They did revisit old songs to show their trajectory and also to show they are in perfect shape no matter what (as Yoongi said in the Disney+ clips, not the docu, their confidence comes from thinking they are the best on stage and believing to this day that they put in the work for it 10+ years into their career)

Asi quedamos siempre asombrados con el factor sorpresa en todas sus presentaciones.Jamás nos decepcionan y cómo dijiste,seran momentos que nunca deberemos olvidar independientemente del futuro de los chicos.Por eso se les quiere y respeta mucho por hacer todo con tanta pasión para sus fans.💜Gracias por su reacción!

They each represent a greek god. V is Apollo, Jin is Ares, Jimin is Artemis, Suga is Hephaestus, Jung Kook is Poseidon, JHope is Zeus and RM is Dionysus(Our Future South Korea President 😆).

KINGS !!!!!!!!!🔥🔥💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🔥🔥

ÉPICO!!! BTS son los reyes, dioses, de todos los tiempos. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💫

It is said that they turned this award show in their own concert. They really shone with the brightest light ever.

11:03 The Jimin Effect hits again 👏🏻❤️

Solo BTS nos puede enloquecer 🤭👌👏👏💜💜💜💜💜🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

Me encanta tu reacción!!!! Tengo 61 años soy de Bolivia y amo a BTS desde hace 8 años!!!! SON LOS REYES, SON LEYENDA.. SON LOS MEJORES!!!!

Thank you for this reaction, Roscoe, and also for your acclamation at the end. Indeed, these guys deserve all the love we can give. They are not only good people, their values and existence inspire their fans to do good as well. What a breathtakingly wonderful performance; I've seen it many times and each time is stunning. I am especially proud of Namjoon and Jin during their dance break - if you watch the Dionysus dance practice, you can see clearly that they sat up on the table, then Jin leapt up, rotating on his left hand, to an upright position, Namjoon rotating on his right. Beautiful cross and on to the "trust falls" - great job by the left and right wings, as they called themselves.

Roscoe!!! Im so glad you waited to watch this one as well! It does make it so much more special and meaningful. It was great watching this with you. Loved your closing remarks. 💜

It's impossible to not love them and their incredible talent as an artist....

Gente, esse foi meu primeiro ao vivo que assisti deles em tempo real, foi tão emocionante assistir tudo até chegar a vez deles. Eu fiquei muito feliz na época, foi uma virada na minha vida conhecer BTS. 😍🤩

Lo mejor de la musica en Corea sorprendera al mundo.

Jungkook always knowing where the camera is and his eye contact and stage presence just is elite in boy in luv and boy w luv in particular… same with Dionysus . I feel like as an empath who feeds off the energy of crowd… mikrokosmos being prerecorded is written all over his face lol

You are such a good reactor, no bias, you praise each members talent, thank you so much for being fair to all of them.

They are what the world needs to offset all the meaness out there. I really believe God sent them to us. 😊 I love our beautiful 7 souls! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

MMA 공연을 보는 것은 늘 새롭고 감동적입니다. 아미들과 감동을 나누며 이 순간을 함께 즐길 수 있다는 것에 감사해요. 나에게 너무나 소중한 방탄과 그들을 지켜주는 아미가 있어서 행복해요. 지친 하루의 마무리는 항상 방탄입니다. 방탄과 함께한지 7년이 되었지만 매일 만나는 순간순간이 저에겐 처음본 그때입니다.

For a bit of context, since you mentioned a few times that they still keep going (which is a testament to their stamina). This year BTS took home almost every single award. Also, this was the first year the show would be broadcasted in SK exclusively in Kaokao. These factors, and whatever more that I may not know, let to most major companies pull out and cancel their group’s performances. My guess is MMA called Big Hit and offered them all the extra time instead. It’s how TXT (a rookie group in 2019) ended with a 24 min performance and BTS got this epic performance. Someone in Twitter explained everything about this performance because everything is tied to Dionysus (even the horses). I just don’t remember all the details.

They are, all 7, born for the stage and spotlight. Each ones shines. They ooze charisma and charm.

Can you believe that this is an awards show? Checkout their speech & performance at the 2018 MAMA awards show.

I feel like we've been waiting so so long for you to get to watch this, I remember when the Couch first mentioned the epicness of this to you in the early days - it's been a helluva journey to get here but I'm so glad you waited and watched this when you did! Seeing the sheer awe on your face as it progressed was so worth it 💜 This performance said: It's BTS' world and we are just living in it!

I like how you call their names: Joon, Kookie and Hobi Love it
