EP 4. DREADHEAD Reacting to BTS! BTS (방탄소년단) 'No More Dream' Official MV Reaction *Where it started* 

You are right their videos looked different then vs now different quality, Their company used to be so broke they were close to bankruptcy. And These guys went through hell and back to get where they are at today. And this is why everyone loves them. They came from nothing to the biggest group in the world yet they still remain humble. Hope you watch the bts guide by Taylor, I really think you will enjoy it

BTS are a very versatile group, they do pop, HipHop, ballad, RnB, Latin pop, etc. BTS also have 3 rappers and 4 vocalist. The rappers are RM, j-hope, and Suga. The vocalist are Jimin, V, Jin, and Jungkook. BTS are the group who introduced the world to kpop. BTS started from the bottom, When they first debuted, BTS and their agency, Big Hit Entertainment, were considered small players in the world of K-pop (during this time kpop wasn’t worldwide it was mostly just listened to in Korea). As a result, they struggled to get recognized among their more established peers. Other kpop groups even looked down on them and mocked them without any reason. And yet BTS managed to be bigger than the Kpop industry itself and that’s why many army’s don’t view them as Kpop since they go beyond that. BTS even made their small company which was about to go through bankrupt, become the biggest company and that company (HYBE but used to be just Bighit) also goes beyond kpop now, they signed Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, etc. BTS also write their own music and they also produce. BTS also has two professional dancers which are j-hope and Jimin. Also RM and Suga were underground rappers before debuting in BTS. They went through many hardships, I really hope u get to know them and their music more 🫶 I would recommend reacting to the guide to the BTS members by Taylor and also watch the series of the rise of bangtan 💜💜💜

The rappers need more love 💯💯💯

You could "Joke" by RM since you seem to be heading towards him being your bias, "Bapsae", "Ugh" or any one of the Cypher series, honestly any song at all and we would be here for it. Borahae

Can't believe 10 years have passed! And our boys made it all!!! Thank you for this reaction!!! 💜💜💜 You'll be amaized by "the rest of their songs" 😊😊😊 Thanks again! Please check Fake Love or Black Swan for something slower...and then then the Taylor Guide! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Yeah they were so different back then, but at the same time this was their debut song and MV.. As they've grown so has their budget and they've worked through way through hell and back.. In the beginning they were heavy hip hop.. Jin I believe was 20 and Jungkook was 14💜💜

I love seeing how passionate they were even then with all they had gone through. And yes, very young. Jungkook was 15 I believe. It all started here and look at them now. Can't wait for your reaction to Taylor's guide.💜 I think you'll like their song Idol, very high energy 😊

They were babies back then 😁 They started hip hop and evolved

When you go back to their earlier MV's they won't have subtitles until 2016 but there are sites that do have them. This is their second MV after No More Dream called We Are Bulletproof Pt2. I've included the link with English subtitles and I really think you will like this one. [MV] BTS(방탄소년단)_ We Are Bulletproof Pt2(위 아 불렛프루프 Pt.2) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gqhWHy0rrtM.html

Thank you for your honest yet respectful thought and opinions...

There is a version of this video with English subtitles and in future that's the best way to search asking for English subtitles in your search line.

#JIMIN #JIMIN

They are in their mid to late twenties now, except for the two oldest. They just turned 30.

You probably would have connected better had the version you picked had lyrics. Unfortunately there are a few videos which require a search for English subs as the algorithms do not direct listeners there. No More Dream is one of these. This track actually is about the younger generation in South Korea which for a bunch of societal reasons tends to pursue a path based not on their own dreams but the expectations of their elders. BTS is challenging young people not to be hypocritical to themselves by saying they are following their own dreams when more often they are just following a prescribed path and telling themselves that success along the way is fulfilling their dreams. As such it is provocative for a debut track in a largely vanilla Idol world.

Thank you for the reaction BTS debut song ( released in 2013 )

since ur fav is definitely rm, i recommend listening to “joke” by him! that song was actually made for haters and the whole song was literally a joke, people would say that he couldnt rap fast (which he can) so he made this song as a joke to make everyone who hated on him look stupid. after that song no one said anything😭

Is that Juice World?! SUGA (a member of BTS) had a collab with him. I think it was girl of my dream. Interesting how different worlds collide.

You should definitely watch set me free by jimin.

Another good thing to watch is BTS Hardships from 2013-2021 by Xceleste. 💜💜💜

Awwww baby BTS 💜💜💜

RM's the leader of the group and the main lyricist. He comes up with badass bars fr (tho mostly in Korean ofc) They were mostly in their teens. I think RM was nineteen at the time.

Ayee i subscribed. Youll love them much more after the introduction video, theyre really that amazing 💜 defo will stay for your journey

oh i love honest reactions

Since their debut BTS showed that they were different, since this song is a social criticism of the way families impose on young people what they should study or what they are going to dedicate themselves to, with it a lot of extra hours of study (this is because the place a student occupies among those of his degree is considered very important, and especially the results of the CSAT that is presented in the last year of high school). That's why BTS asks young people what their dreams are and invites them to follow them.

Thx for being open to experiencing our #BTS 👍🏼

I think you’d really like RUN BTS dance practice video

The difference between BTS and other groups is they started of as hip hop lovers and rappers who formed into an idol group whereas others are regular idol groups who include rap in their tracks. Once you hear their old tracks a few times you will enjoy them more. And find the lyrics! They were at school so talked about school life and young love. They were youths so talked about growing up and the tough times that comes with it. They have always spoken from their hearts.💜

Subscribed for BTS but can’t wait to watch you fall down the rabbit hole that is kpop! BTS is amazing! Also check out Stray Kidz, Ateez, XG, Twice.. just so many! 😁😁

Hi.... I'm from Indonesia.. I'm Army, thanks for you react...

The start of something incredible 💜💜💜

The memebers in age order Jin 1992 SUGA 1993 J-Hope 1994 RM 1994 Jimin 1995 V 1995 JK 1997 me 1991 aka 32

During this video the ages were: Jin 20 Suga 20 J-hope 19 Rm 18 Jimin 17 V 17 Jungkook 15

Looking forward to your reaction to Taylor’s Guide. Reminder, it already has subtitles and you can pause as needed to absorb text and ask questions. 💜

BTS "Come back Home live 4th Muster " ....may not be captions but it is a dope live hip hop performance

BTS's song "No More Dream" was their debut song, and you are right that their music and style have changed since the beginning. Initially, when BTS debuted, they were supposed to be a hip-hop group, but now they are a K-Pop Idol group, so their beats were different back then. And to answer your question about the members' ages, Taylor's guide to BTS will mention their ages and give you a better background on who the members are on an individual level. As you continue going down the BTS rabbit hole, I strongly recommend watching BTS's second single "No" and "We are Bulletproof Pt 2", which is one of the first few songs that the BTS members have written. Later on in your BTS Journey you will find songs with English subs, but that won't happen until 2015 or 2016 when you will start to get into their Most Beautiful Moment in Life series and their Wings era. But as always, thank you for your honest reaction and for reading our comments. 💜

Next biggest thing💚💚

Oh yeah check out the dance practices that match their videos so you can see the sharp choreography that they would practice up to 10-14 hrs... and you can learn their individual names and traits and ages in the Guide to BTS video

Depending on the type of music you like, BTS has it for you. RAP: you might want to check the Rapline Cyphers 1-4; RM: JOKE - For older songs I would suggest putting in "BTS Song Title Eng Sub". ARMY, the name of our fandom has been translating the songs into English since 2013. You hit it on the nail.. they were all kids except for Jin. Ages was 14, 15, 15, 18, 18, 19, and 20 upon debut. They write 90% of their music and produce a lot of it. Hope you enjoy the guide.

Eu amo todas as frases do BTS 🔥✨💜

I noticed the Fighting Demons poster behind you. JW has a song with Suga of BTS on that album, it's called 'Girl of my dreams' and, well... it's great. (that was their second collab, if you haven't already, give it a listen) Good luck with your reactions. Have a great week! :)

I see that Juice World poster behind you- have you have a chance to listen to Girl of my Dreams of that album? Suga is on that track and Juice had worked with them previously. Just thought it was worth mentioning if you hadn't already gotten a chance to check it out.

❤❤❤❤

I subscribed cause i wanna be part of recruitment of a new army. Borahae💜💜💜

They had NO money to make videos back then. This is 2013: Jungkook was 15 and RM was 19. Jin, the oldest was 21. V and Jimin were 17. Suga was probably about 20 and J-Hope was 19 or 20.

Hi! Just so you know. RM does not go by the name Rap Monster any more. He is just RM that stands for REAL ME

They're about 25-30 yrs

Pls react to cypher part-1,2,3 and 4 of bts rapline which consists of RM, Suga and Jhope

Hahahaha...wanna bet!!..Keep reacting to BTS and i will go back on your word that you dig the Rappers only for now hahahahaha🤣🤣🤣🤣

They were 15 - 20 at their debut, on 13th June, 2013. This was filmed a little before that but close enough. Jin - 20 Suga - 20 j-hope - 19 RM - 18 Jimin - 17 V - 17 Jungkook - 15

So this was in 2013 so JK was 16, Jimin & V were 18, RM & Jhope were 19, Suga was 20 and Jin was 21. That's in International age, not Korean age. So now, they're 26,28, 29, 30 & 31. In No More Dream especially, JK was also rapping a lot. As for what song to react to next: Blood, Sweat & Tears ; Fake Love ; Agust D ; Daechwita ; Persona ; Outro Ego; Filter ; Singularity ; Euphoria ; I mean you can't really go wrong with any of their music.

If you like rap, check out some of their rap. All of their songs have a backstory and the mv and lyrics usually tie it together. It's really deep and i know I would not have understood without further explanation lol. Furthermore, some are connected and go in order if you want to really appreciate it. Their live performances for asian music shows (mma and mama) and the grammys 22 really bring something extra. Some of their songs are in relation to what was happening in Korea/the world at the time ex. dynamite which is an upbeat disco pop song was released during covid in hopes of raising people's spirits during difficult times. From their rap I really like Joke, Cypher (all of them), DDaeng, daechwita (by one of the members alter ego-august d) and all august d songs. You seem to like RM, he is the leader and rightfully raps like a boss. And on top of this they have been asked to speak at the united nations multiple times for their positive messages, met with POTUS Biden to talk about hate crimes, made donations for BLM. John Cena said it best, even if you don't like their music you should be able to respect them for their work and message.

I think it’s cool that you are going back to their roots which was hip hop. You might like the song better if you see the ones that have English subs. Another older song is “NO”. Something I learned just yesterday about JungKook, who was 13 or 14 when he became a trainee and 15 when they debuted, is that although he was given the title of Main Vocalist, he never sang before signing on with Big Hit (other than auditioning, I assume). Suga told us that on his program Suchwita. He had never rapped or danced, but he was on the dance line from the beginning and rapped in their earlier songs. Just wanted to pass that in because the fact that he hadn’t sung before was news to me.

The song playing in the intro is a pre-debut song, We Are Bulletproof Pt1. You can see it live here: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cZy_BlM10hY.html&pp=ygUXd2UgYXJlIGJ1bGxldHByb29mIHB0IDE%3D

If you want to get to know them properly, there is a video on RU-vid that explains everything about them. The name of the video: A guide of bts members the bangtan seven

hello! It would be interesting for you to watch the video, A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7, which focuses on each one individually and will give you an idea of exactly who they are, and the time of work and talent of these guys, which June 13th made 10 years since they debuted, the group is composed of 3 rappers and 4 vocal line and yes they have many dancing performances, and you will see that initially they were cut from the programs because they belonged to a small company, so they created content on youtube to approach the fans what makes them stand out, because they really show themselves as they are, it's worth taking a closer look

intro song goes crazy🔥🫡

You can listen to the rap line songs if you prefer rap I’ll give you some recs ;bapsae, daeschwita, ddaeng, cypher 1,2 and 3, haegum, joke, intro persona,do you, agust D, and ugh ( my faves are ugh, daeschwita and joke) you’ll need to watch an explanation video for ddaeng and joke though

Can you do a vídeo reacting to agust d from agust d the music is called agust d okey since you Like rap 😊

Here's a couple of live performances with English subs. You may have to increase the video quality. Or if anyone has better videos, maybe they can link? 'Ugh' with lyrics ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wUd7WkO5tdo.html 'We On' with lyrics ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y-1x-oX3Mdg.html

First off I need to explain Korean age hey Korea when you're born the day, you're born you're a year-old nobody ages on their birthday everybody in the country ages one year older on January 1st! In their documentary videos they say that the youngest member John cook was 15 when he joined BTS well Korean age 13. At that time the oldest member gin was 21 that's 18 in the United States. Also, one needs to remember that on June 13th, 2013, they debuted under a bankrupt small company. Take into account all the extras in this music video were staff members from their company they couldn't afford to hire extras! Not until around 2015/2016 then they start having yeah, any meaningful budgets for music videos. In 2014 thanks Ben a few months in Los Angeles CA filming a reality TV show called American Hustle life. While there they recorded their fourth album in a borrowed garage. Put on their first concert a free concert with 200 people in attendance. Other stars and the reality TV show a half dozen US rap artist. OK BTS debuted in 2013 as a hip hop group. You were saying that you preferred the rap line in this video well there were four people actually wrapping in this video and one of them is the main vocalist Jungkook the youngest member. When BTS debuted, he was a singer rapper songwriter composer producer lead dancer he has been a music video director two members are actors technically every member of a K pop group is an actor and the dancer. Let's go back to John cook the youngest member when they debuted, he was a singer a rapper a songwriter a composer producer video director plays the guitar piano have several different types of drums. Rap line sugar AKA August D for solo work songwriter composer producer musician guitar piano Oregon producers other K pop artist albums and solo songs! Rapper Jay Holt did not learn to rap until after he became a member of BTS from the age of 10 he was a street dancer until he was around 20 mind your Korean age so eight years old USA to18 USA he is a rapper dance leader main dancer sub vocalist songwriter producer. Sugar AKA August D lead rapper main producer dancer songwriter composer producer.

Safe to say RM is your bias right? 🤭🤭🤭

Look up the lyrics...it's pretty inspiring...There is a version with eng captions....next time try typing (eng subs) after the title if the one you click on doesn't have eng captions...Auto generated are trash usually...Most of the off stage content already has english on screen
