Former Boyband Member Reacts To - A Guide to BTS Members: Bangtan 7 

Military update---Jin has reached the rank of sergeant & is an assistant training instructor, J-Hope is a corporal & is also an instructor, Yoongi is doing alternate service due to his past shoulder injury. He is doing his service in Seoul and will serve 3 months longer than the others. The last 4 have been promoted to private first class. Jimin & Jungkook enlisted together as companion soldiers & are serving in the artillery on the same base where Jin is stationed. Taehyung is in a special unit that protects the capital & Namjoon is in a mountainous region near the 38th parallel. They have numerous awards & are adapting well. It would seem that they excel at everything they do.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

It's over 1,000 now along with 31 Guinness world Records, 5 Grammy nominations and many firsts that can never be broken as they are firsts.

OST = Original Sound Track

That IQ puts him in the top 1.3% of the population so yes it's genius level. He's a polyglot and yes they were speaking Japanese in that bit.

Throga channel invited Taylor as a guest and it was fascinating to hear how she put this documentary together. I never get tired of watching it.

RM born 1994 and Nathan graduated high school 1996 😂😂😂😂 his expression was so hilarious 😭💜💜💜💜

I HIGHLY suggest you to watch their MAMA awards performance. You think award show, you think of grammy right? Nahhhh korean award show is ANOTHER LEVEL ITS INSANELYYY GOOD. Its not even award show its a WHOLE CONCERT 😂

There’s another shorter guide to BTS that might answer a lot of the questions you were asking. It’s by Rice Squad and is called The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS. It tells more about how they were formed and their discography and how they grew over time to get where they are now. It’s very well done and it doesn’t have a lot of reading.

I am older ARMY at 68. I saw them twice in Chicago; United Center 2018 and Soldier Field 2019. It was the experience of a lifetime!

Actually, the ages they mention are the Korean ages. So in international age JK was only 13 (going on 14) when he joined as a trainee and 15 (going on 16) when they debuted.

i've watched the bangtan 7 video hundreds of time but I still watched your reaction, just like many other armies :)

Suga's real name is Min Yoongi. In fact, fans often call his real name more often. and Suga is someone who really loves music and piano. he even wrote a song about the relationship between the piano and himself. check Suga's performance during the tour..he plays the piano in life goes on and plays the guitar in the song seesaw

1:08:56 that's Home, one of my favorite BTS songs, and Jimin's tone really shines in it Tonight Show performance is so fun

My daughter introduced me to BTS about 6 years ago. Since then I been hooked. I LOVE BTS! My daughter and I have been fortunate to attend 3 of their concerts. Would've been 4 if not for the 2020 covid pandemic. However, in addition, we also attended Suga's (my bias) solo concert last year in Los Angeles. We are anxiously waiting their return in 2025. BTW I'm 52 years old, Native American and LOVE BTS!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🫶🫰

🖐I've been to 5 BTS concerts and 1 AGUST'D. The vibe in unbeliable. ARMY is friendly and amazing. Im 47, and i can't wait for 2025. Im ready for more concerts!

Hobi has 10 million Spotify followers (now 17million) because Hobi has record breaking mixtape, album and many other solo songs. Which you haven't explored yet. He has song writing credit of 139 songs.He is a dancer, rapper, singer, song writer, producer, and has exceptional stage presence, he is really an ace. Really versatile arist. So no need to wonder about Spotify followers 😊He is called BTS's fashionista. He carries any fashion gracefully. He is BTS's dance leader. And also called second leader(performance) of BTS.

There's a new guide by ARMY up to date to Feb 2024. It's called A Helpful Guide to the BTS members or something like that. It has some of this same information, but different footage and covers the new solo work. Spreading the word! It's great to see you watching this, Nathan. There's a lot of stuff that's somewhat glossed over that explains their success. They were pioneers because of putting rappers with vocalists and ended up hated by both sides. The three big companies with money were able to buy tv slots, but BigHit had no money. Bang Si-Hyuk (aka Bang PD) wanted them to write their own music from their hearts, whereas the Big Three shoved kids through tough, almost abusive, training, then handed them shallow music to perform. By allowing them to write their own, they challenged Korean societal issues (unheard of) and personal issues (also unheard of) which added to the hate they received. cang was a visionary, and was able to choose extremely talented boys - one requirement was the ability to get along, though they had teenage issues too. The boys (men now) had big dreams too, would practice 16 hours, then rap or practice more hours on their own. They had to be perfect in order to build a fan base. The media found excuses to attack, they couldn't get radio play in the US because of racism and payola, and on and on. Some of their songs have a lot of anger expressed toward these haters, with symbolism, such as mic drop, fire, and the cyphers. Suga was mad all the way through Haegeum. So they persisted and persisted. The 1.3 million viewers at that concert is cool. I watched Suga's live paid concerts and there were 6 million. Their government asked them to do a free online concert in fall of 2022 and 60 million computers etc logged in, breaking the server. Anyway, there is so much to their backstory and content that it's hard to comprehend. The mention of vacations and such came in their later years, they didn't take a break for 5 years. They lived together 8 years, finally getting their own apts in about 2020. I have never seen a group so tightly bonded, not family, not the girls I took on wilderness trips, not my best friends. They truly love and support each other. I'm sorry this is so long. For a lot of people it's the only documentary they watch, and it's not complete.

In this vudeo, the Korean firm of calculating age is used. That system has you become 1 on the day you ate born, then on the following January you become 2, and add a year each January. So V, who was born on December 30th became 2 yrs old, 3 days later. The Korean government passed a law that instituted the global age system that went into effect in 2023. As you watch other videos, whenever the guys mention their age, it will be their Korean age unless they specify that they are using global age. Therefore, JungKook was not 15 when he signed as a trainee in 2011 and left home. He was still 13. He was 15 when he debuted. In fact, 5 of them were still in their teens when they debuted with only Suga and Jin being 20.

A Visual is a Kpop star who is the main one to sell the story of the song. Soulful looks and such. Hard to explain as we don't have an equivalent in the US. The 'pretty guy' but also an actor. The old old OLD Videos are still on their RU-vid channel if you look, where they goof around or talk about things and of course alot of that is clipped into compilations all over RU-vid. RM once was live and Jimin was bored so kept dancing up against the translucent wall behind him and RM gave the camera his long suffering expression. Junkkook if you watch the RunBTS series, is good at EVERYTHING except waking up. He's fast, agile, very strong, sings like an angel, dances, plays several instruments and is a very good artist and also does martial arts... That is why he's the Golden Maknae. RM is legendary for breaking things. You can find many clip compilations of it like when he broke a crank handle while making a guest appearance on a show. They even wrote it into the script in the RunBTS episode where they make their own short video. He does NOT cook well so they usually give him jobs cutting vegetables in order to minimize injuries. And is why he rides a bike and does not drive. In the early days V was somewhat of a rebel. RM has a story of sneaking out with V to get ice cream cones when they were meant to be dieting and the Managers catching them. In the RunBTS series he is often doing odd things so much that noone thinks twice about it if he does something unusual, which lets him get away with a lot when he's the Spy but also often makes him seem like the Spy when he's not. We know that J hope is training newer recruits, V is in advanced training for Special Ops, Suga's old shoulder injury meant he is in alternate service rather than the military. I'm not sure exactly what but it often is things like teaching. RM and V both were in the top of their class. I like your honest liking for BTS so keep it up! Ive never been to a live concert but watched two online concerts and saw the Busan Concert in theatres. Suga's D-Day tour is coming to theatres so you should go see that.

Suga is the epitome of resilience and strength from the pain and struggles he had to weather. Just recently he expressed that he has made peace with his past, and it makes me so damn proud of him. He really is someone to admire, and is so very talented. I love him so much.

All the guys are now serving in the military. Jimin and Jungkook applied together in the "buddy system" in which they will be eachother's companion through the whole 18 months of service. It's a system for close friends and family members, and them deciding to apply for it shows how close they are. I'm so happy that they have eachother and can rely on eachother there.

Suga has a whole song dedicated to the love of his first piano, called "First Love." You should totally check it out! He's also played live on stage several times, including at his most recent AgustD concerts with "Life Goes On." I also recommend checking that out. It was brilliant! ETA: JHope recently choreographed the back up dances for one of AgustD's songs that he performed at his concert. I could be wrong, but I also think he did some of the choreo for BTS's live performances of "Baepsae." He also has Hope on the Street coming out soon about different dance styles! ETA2: Long Military Update: Jin and JHope are killing it as drill instructors. They both also achieved a "special forces" status which allowed them to rank up faster. Jin should be getting out sometime in the next few months. Because of a previous injury, Suga was deemed unfit for regular combat duty, so he's serving as a social service agent. He'll be in longer than the rest because of that. He's gone really quiet since joining, and I total respect that. I hope people let him finish his service in peace. The others I believe are out of basic training now. V has joined the military police corps...which I think is very similar to the US version of MPs. Both him and RM graduated basic with a special recognition as "elite" trainees, which is apparently only given to 5 out of every 200 recruits. Not sure what RM's job is after basic. Jimin and Jungkook chose to do a special enlistment that keeps them together. They actually trained under the same unit where Jin is a trainer. Not sure what their assigned job is, if they have them yet. I know there's stalkers out there that probably know more. But I like to wait for official news via official channels. So yeah, there's a relatively recent update. As an USAF spouse...I'm so insanely proud of them. I know how hared the military life is, but it's not surprising at all that they're kicking ass and doing so well. Those guys can conquer anything, if they put their minds to it.

My husband, my sister, and I went to a BTS concert in 2022 when they were in Las Vegas. It was amazing. We're not young, haha, but we saw other old people there. I loved all the light sticks that were controlled by the concert people. That was awesome. There were other BTS related things going on in Las Vegas, which was fun. Jin had just had surgery on his finger, so he was supposed to sit and not participate in some of the choreography, but he wasn't in his chair very much. The poor guy. I could tell he just wanted to be out there performing. It was an awesome concert and I hope I can go to another one when they're back together in the future.

🤚 wife, daughter, and I . BTS live is the best experience 💜

OST stands for Original SoundTrack. In Korea, TV soundtracks sell a lot of albums, and there are a lot of solo musicians who mostly just do songs for soundtracks.

The most beautiful life goes on by Rice squad shows the timeline of how BTS were formed and the timeline of their albums and when they started gaining momentum in the US

Watching BTS perform is like watching a smash Tony-Award-Winning Broadway musical, but better - much, much better. That's why the BTS audience is composed of children to great grandparents. Sheer talent.

4. Jin. Visual. His looks. He Never danced or sang before BTS! His voice teacher discovered his magnificent voice. He told her he couldn't sing. He was shocked when he found out he could! His voice is my favorite. He is the only one who can belt out songs! OST. Original Sound Track. In the military. They are all excelling. Winning top honors as the best soldier in their units. They all have been promoted! Suga has a desk job. Civil job due to his shoulder injury. They didn't want to risk further injury.

Borahae is a mashup of the word for purple and Saragae, which means I love you. Jimin almost didn't make it into the group, in an interview (Let's BTS) he said that he was nearly cut on multiple occasions. Bang PD said in the Monuments Documentary that he wasn't sure that Jimin belonged in the group but staff convinced him otherwise. And there's another recent video on the Hybe RU-vid where RM credits a staff member for advocating to keep Jimin and that "without Jimin it would have been a disaster" although we don't have more on quite what he meant by that statement. We've seen Jimin with Bang PD and clearly there's no hard feelings. On Suchwita with Suga & Jimin, Suga said he told the staff that they were making a mistake in training Jimin to rap, and has said that Jimin's voice is to his taste and he knew Jimin would have a unique vocal quality if developed.

Yes the connection with BTS is beyond the music. They started doing vlogs before they debuted and just shared everything they were going through, feelings etc. and one just ends up loving them as people and rooting for them.

You want to go to a show?!? 1. save up $500 2. Get 10 devices 3. Try to get tickets before sold out

My kids and I have been to two concerts. Most amazing experience ever!

They brought Jimin in because he was/is an extremely good dancer who could be acrobatic(something no other Idol group had) and his voice was/is very unique/special and his voice ‘capped off’ the harmonies of the other 3 vocalists.

Some facts: BTS currently has cec With 900 accumulated prizes, all members speak English and Japanese. Jin spends his life eating to help Armys with eating disorders. In the MV for the song Boy with lov, in the part where Jin sings "be my teacher" we see in the choreography Suga pointing at JHope and vice versa... they did it like that because Suga helped Jhope with the rap and JHope helped Suga with the dance. .🇧🇷💜

Jungkook debuted when he was 15 but he was a trainee at the age of 13 and that's pretty young. At that age i was doing nothing but stuffing my face with food🥲

Nothing beats an army bomb wave. Best concert with the happiest fans. You have to see the MAMA magic too. WOW.

At Yoongi's online concerts we were more than 5 million paid viewers. Jungkook's online concert for his album Golden was free - for online viewers and for in person viewers.We were almost 12.5 million watching online. This video is out of date, but it's a great intro to who they are and why we all love them. I can't remember how many viewers there were at the 2022 Busan online concert which was again free for everyone...i do think the servers broke a few times...they were 10s of millions watching for sure. Maybe someone can tell you exactly how many there were. When Jungkook goes live... Omg...we were 17 million people listening to him snore live. 17 million...way more than what the audience for the Grammy's ever was. 17 million people listening to him snore ... I think this should tell you exactly who BTS are for Army and why the love we have for each other is so deep. I admire their talent and their work ethic very much. Knowing how much they worked to be where they are and to get others there too... My respect for them has no boundaries. 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 Later edit: check out their concerts on Disney+ and Prime. There are also J-Hope's and Yoongi' (Agust D) documentaries on Disney+. I highly recommend watching them. Between 10 and 13th of April there will be a movie shown in cinemas around the world - it's about Yoongi 's solo tour. You will absolutely love it. I've seen all his live concerts on Weverse and ... Yeah..you should go! At the end of March, on Prime, J-Hope's second documentary will be shown too. If you have time, check out some of the Run BTS episodes - they are on RU-vid, on BangtanTV channel. You'll understand better why we love them. My favourites are the zombie episode and the last 2. Comedy gold! The lights at the concert are the official lightsticks called Army Bombs and they connect via Bluetooth to an app and they all light up at the same time forming patterns. I cannot wait to go see them in concert. Even if you are not a fan, I think you'll love it. Download the Weverse app and subscribe to BTS - they have tons of content there and you can watch the past lives of all the members with subtitles. I recommend the ones with all of them and Jungkook's because he always sings to us. There is one that is 4 hours long...where he talks to us and sings to us....Man, I miss that dude so much!

Suga plays the piano and guitar, he actually composed the song "first love" as a love song to his piano. He is a sweetheart. He said that many people think hes cold or mean but hes just a huge softy who gets excited over little things like kittens and puppies. He said he seemed angry in his 20's and that he wants to now live his 30's as a much softer person. He wrote about how he wasn't loved enough as a child so hes the cautious type in his song "people pt.2". Pre debut he had multiple part time jobs and he would try to sell his songs that he wrote but people would steal them from him. He said it was a constant struggle being an underground artist, he had to chose between 2 dollar instant noodles for dinner or a bus ticket. If he ate he would have to walk hours back to his home. In that interview where they were disrespecting him and Rm, they asked him what it is he is trying to do and he said that he wanted to make underground and mainstream as one because he doesn't want others to suffer the way he did, he said he was starving everyday just trying to work for his dreams. Actually during one of Sugas side jobs when he was a delivery boy he got hit by a car and it shattered his shoulder. He was afraid the company wouldn't take him in so he hid it at first but when they found out they decided to pay his college tuition. He went almost 7 years without surgery and it got so bad he couldn't even pick up a water bottle but he still worked his ass off and performed like it was nothing. He fortunately got shoulder surgery back in 2020 and he is feeling much better. I dont want to focus too much on their hardships because people tend to do that and i know the boys dont want us to worry, they are much happier now and are healthy. They have grown so much and i am so proud of them. They have always been there for eachother and they are like family now. They always mention their love and appreciation for eachother and it is never forced. They even got matching 7 tattoos to show their loyalty and love towards one another. Suga got his 7 tattoo on his injured shoulder next to his scar :) They're strong bond makes me so happy and i am so thankful that they found one another. They went through everything together and have supported eachother. They even signed a third contract as a group for another decade, so yes they will be back as a group in 2025. They always talk about it and get so excited thinking about all the fun memories they will make once they are back as a group. Im sorry for the long comment but i hope this helped you understand their bond as brothers a little more.

🙋‍♀I was blessed to see them twice. I traveled to the shows by myself but never felt alone, surrounded by ARMY from all over the world. All of us loving and being loved by these seven gentlemen. They put on an amazing show and give 100%. I'll always be thankful to live on earth at the same time as BTS. Really enjoyed your personal commentary and watching you watch this! I agree with the other comments about watching the other video, The most beautiful life goes on, it will compliment this one nicely. Min Yoongi is Suga's real name! You can see many of their previous lives on Weverse. After the initial posting, there are subtitles, but I have watched many times not knowing what they are saying (I only know English). They sing, dance, fold laundry, do arts and crafts, eat, drink and play games and just share everything. I don't know how anyone who gets to know them wouldn't want to be best friends with them. Each one is unique, talented, humble, and honest. It's refreshing. I'm 55 now and they comfort me and make me joyful in times of depression, or pain or just stress. Can't wait for them to return to their creativity after their service. I wish them so much happiness and contentment for the rest of their lives. I just love them, apobangpo! Borahae! 💜

Omg Nathan!!! Thank you so much for reacting to this! I can’t wait 🙏🏼💜💜💜

I love the shock and amazement to BTS that reactors get the first time they do a BTS reaction. BTS has a way of sucking you into their world.

There will be a play in cinemas of D Day, Suga s Concert finale. On April 10. It is going to be world-wide, maybe you can go. That tour was amazing

that is what happened to JIn. In fact it happened twice. once when he was in High School and he thought it was a scam so didn't follow through, and this time, with BTS. The international plastic surgeon ass. has named him the most perfect face as he has golden or perfect margins on his face and is so perfect they now use him as a standard. OST is original sound track. JIn is doing so well and is now a commander which I believe is as high as he can go as enlisted. He trains the newbies and it's reported by other military that he is much loved and respected. also you googled OTS, not OST.

Jin is coming back in June 12.

Min Yoongi is the real name. You can call him however you want.. and please listen to snooze with Woosung and Sakamoto

🙋🏽‍♀️I’ve been fortunate enough to attend 3 concerts, and it’s the absolute BEST 3 hours you’ll ever spend! The energy of ARMY hours before the concert, during and after is AMAZING!! It’s a whole experience. If you get a chance to go, take it!

When you said "are all 5 of them in the military" i got a bit sad because you were probably thinking about your old group. Life is full of nostalgia

you have to react "BTS MMA 2019" it was their greatest and shocking live performance ever!

BigHit auditioned and signed many young people, guys and gals, as trainees. For instance RM and Suga became trainees in 2010. The group members were picked from among the trainees to form BTS. There are interviews where Jimin spoke about the possibility he faced of being let go while a trainee. I recall watching a video with the guys and a solo artist who had been a trainee at the same time they were trainees.

🙋‍♀️I’ve seen BTS live six times. They are mind-blowingly incredible. As soon as they are out of the military and performing again, I will be there, no matter where it is. 💜

I went to the November 28, 2022 concert in Los Angeles. Beyond any concert I have ever seen! These men are beyond compare in so many ways.

1:04:07 i saw them live dec 2021 at sofi in LA. Im 51, best concert ive ever seen. Its a magical experience i hope every ARMY gets to experience. 💜

OST=original sound track. 💜💜

When you said "are all 5 of them in the military" i got a bit sad because you were probably think about your old group. Life is full of nostalgia

Thank you for watching. 🙌🏻 Jungkook was 13 when he joined. He also occasionally slept in the closet like your member. That's why he calls his films Golden Closet Films. They did want BTS to be a rap group in the beginning. And it was a bit like the Mickey Mouse Club. There were other trainees that got cut. A lot of the members had no training in dance. Jimin was a trained dancing ace. Suga once said that when he first met Jimin that he must be an amazing dancer, in order to be there, because he didn't look like a hip-hop guy.😂 So now the group had 2 dancing aces. I am always amazed at Jin's discipline to learn to sing and dance from scratch. BTS dances are hard!!! I liked hearing the stories about about your group. And, yes, BTS is family. 😘💜🫶🏻🫰🏻 Also, 3 out of 7 members could be considered lethal weapons. 😂😂😂

Jin had only few more months until he’s back or done with his service!

If you truly want to learn about their journey, you need to watch or react to the rise of Bangtan. There are 21 episodes and you would love it. All the same, keep up the good work. Love from Ghana🇬🇭

Just a reminder to keep the historical context in mind whenever you think about BTS’ methods and accomplishments. Their RU-vid use was not “like other groups.” They invented a new approach and intensity to staying in close contact with fans. They did not struggle and emerge within the kpop industry you think you know now. Their success changed the industry itself. Think about it: nothing in society was the same 10 years ago, right? :)

All 7 members of BTS are serving in the South Korean military. Yoongi, Suga is performing Civil Service. They have all posted on Weverse during their service. Each has mentioned missing the 7 of them together. They all love oen another and will be able to make solo music and group music.

I've been waiting for this to happen since you first reacted to BTS. Thank you for this one. Got my notification on ❤

🙋🏼‍♀️ I saw BTS in LA for PTD concert in 2021 and Suga in New York for D Day concert last year. Hard to describe how wonderful they both were. Amazing! 💜

I love watching other people become amazed by BTS. It helps me to remember why I love them so much. Welcome to the ARMY and BTS community

Ok, I just had to comment on your tea...it cracks me up every time you mention it, because my husband is also a RU-vid creator (PC games), and also has a favorite tea, and also mentions it every chance he can and it became a running joke that he was digging for a tea sponsorship. He was like, "One of these days I'm going to get a C&D from [tea company name] telling me to stop mentioning their name in my unhinged playthroughs..." 😂

Every time I watch this I'm reminded how amazing these 7 men are.

All 7 are serving but Suga is doing alternative service due to his shoulder so he's serving the longest eg 21 months rather than 18months.

Re BTS in the military so far we know: Namjoon: Special Elite Troops & Military Band Jin: Sergeant & Assistant Instructor Yoongi: Public Service due to his shoulder injury Hoseok: Corporal & Assistant Instructor Jimin: Military Fire Direction Center (brain of the artillery) Taehyung: SDT (special duty team to counter terrorism) Jungkook: Kitchen Police /cook-supp batallion They all (except Jungkook) graduated basic training in top 5/10. RM and V were elite trainees. So are I think Jin and J Hope. Suga couldn't do this because of his bad shoulder injury. Jimin not only was top 10 but top of the unit. He received commendation from the division commander. He did the oath on behalf of his unit too. And like Jin and I think J Hope will get early promotions too and extra holidays which I believe is a big deal :)

its really he was so good u need him in the band… due to that unique tone of his

Jimin 👑

Welcome welcome, Nathan to our BTS rabbit hole 😊 Borahae 🫰🏻 Love your reactions and love watching you dive into the BTS world 🫶 Glad you finally got to know more about our dear members. Thanks for sharing your journey with us 😉💜

Raises hand! I saw BTS live at Citifield in NY in 2018 and MetLife Stadium in NJ in 2019. It was incredible to be in person! I had tickets to the 2020 canceled Tour and have only been able to see EVERY SINGLE ONE of their online concerts since then. In April I am going to the theater to see Suga The Movie even though I watched Suga’s concert online multiple times live. (I tried to get tickets to his concert but was waitlisted and couldn’t get them!). They are truly incredible performers and amazing live!

47:03 OST means Original SoundTrack. It is used internationally. Especially in anime, tv series etc. For movies especially smth like Dune they can use "score" "soundtrack". But OST is smth that became worldwide used because of Japanese anime i would say

1. I'm watching your reaction now. And I'm enjoying your boy band experiences how it relates. Informally, I'm going to answer some of your questions. About RM. Jin was saying. NO. RM. I don't need your help in the kitchen. If you watched closely, RM wasn't able to slice off one piece of that carrot. He Can't cook. 148 I.Q. is Very High. He is considered in the top .01 % of the smartest men in the world. He tested very high on the English equivalency test. And keeps going back to retest himself. He always gets a higher score. That show he was on at the blackboard..is a show where very smart men compete in answering very complicated questions. (They now have included women.) On his first visit to the show. He was the youngest. He outsmarted them all. And very quickly got the right answer. RM is very clumsy. And he destroys many things he touches. To this day, he doesn't drive or have his driver's license. Reason. To keep Koreans safe from him on the road. Not kidding. All 7 are presently serving in the military. They went in at staggered times. Jin will be out in 3 months.

My daughter actually traveled from Sydney to London to attend the bts concert at Wembley and was part of the crowd that sang to them. Very emotional and everyone was crying, what an experience and every time I hear it I think how lucky she was ☺️

He was so excited to get his bike frome Jin. He is the only member that doesn't drive or have a license but said once out he was going to try and get them.

GOSH THIS IS SO NEEDED. LESHUGO NATHAN!!💜

must to watch is the legendary, breathtakingly spectacular performance of:❣Jimin 'Lie' live (stage mix) 2017 [Eng Sub] [Full HD] ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lutt2uqRSl0.htmlsi=2ym4ZLR0viA7fBek by enjoy BTS more. 🙏Please Turn on cc for eng subs. to see the always important meaningful lyrics this time, but it’s crucial for “Lie” that Jimin wrote himself! Jimin’s ever so mesmerizingly stunning vocals & dancing are always on another level! This is only one safe to see other then equally legendary Fancam. 👍❤‍🔥😍🔥🔥

All 7 member are currently serving in the Military as of Dec 2023. They all will be reunited in mid June 2025.

Jin is finish whis his military in June this year and 3 months later is J-Hope finished, and the other 5 is finish next year in june

"And I'm talking about myself again" we do care and are curious about your history in your boyband too, those are really interesting

There is a 2024 update version of the BTS members. More songs and more in depth.

👋 YES! Saw their FIRST & 2nd CONCERTS AFTER PANDEMIC at LA SOFI! NOTHING LIKE IT💜👑

After choosing the 6 members...the group was missing something...so they added a bell...brightness, cuteness, generosity, perseverance, love...in one word Jimin

Thanks for reacting to the guide. I've probably watched it 100 times or more, but still find it so heartwarming and entertaining. 💜

I went to their PTD concert at SoFi in 2021! ✋ Honestly the energy of BTS mixed with ARMY is insane. I've never experienced another concert like that before, and I probably never will again (unless it's BTS). They sound SO good live as well! I highly recommend trying to attend one of their concerts when they come back!

🖐🏼🖐🏼 I went to LA and Las Vegas shows! If you didn’t choke up, it was an emotional, exhilarating and ARMY being one in our fan chants. It’s a life changing event, that it inspire and encourage you to be better. And they are real, dancing, jumping and singing! They are not on a photograph or a video. Just love them even more! ARMY was organized, paid for extra security in LA show because the security was not used to handle 50k, that’s full capacity. Rolling Stones only had 20k and they did good 4 months prior.

I found them during the pandemic. I’m totally invested in them as a group and human beings. We’ve seen almost every moment of their lives online, good and difficult, so you can’t not root for them after seeing their journey to get where they are and knowing what kind of wonderful humans they each are. That combined with their extreme talent and performances is why I’m Army forever.

I watched them live in 2018 for their love yourself tour in Berlin. Jungkook was unfortunately injured at the time so he couldn't dance, but he and all of them still gave an amazing performance

🤚 saw the Love Yourself Speak Yourself tour in Chicago. Had floor seats so Jungkook flew overhead during Euphoria.... most amazing concert I have ever been to

Suga's real name is Min Yoongi, but he would answer to any of the names. They started out as a hip hop group but then the project changed to an Idol group with singers and dancers. If you watch Rise of Bangtan, an amazing Fanmade docuseries, it shows lots of info on that. Bang Si Hyuk, CEO of BigHit at that time and got the band together, valued artistic freedom. So they debuted as BTS in 2013 but RM and Suga released 2 solo mixtapes, and J Hope a mixtape by 2018. Now of course, they have all released solo albums (Jin released a single but will be back in June and will release an album as he didn't have time before he went into the military). Visual means that Jin is the face of the group. BTS has a fictional storyline that runs through many albums and is still running. OST means official sound track. I love that you say "I'm not gonna say that" but then try anyway 😂 Jungkook was only 13 when he joined. 15 is the Korean age. The cartoon was the official MV for the song Zero O'clock, the Tiny Tan version. Their live videos are all on Weverse, a free app. They still go live whenever they can and post on Instagram too when on leave from the military. Most lives are also on RU-vid and Jungkook's Golden Closet Films are on their BangtanTV RU-vid channel.

13:02 Keep in mind, KIM is surname and NAMJOON is first name …. for example KIM SEOKJIN and MIN YOONGI etc! Three KIMs in BTS are NOT related as far as we know, KIM is just very common used last name. 30:47 Speaking of which, HOPE ON THE STREET documentary is now out on Prime Video if you want to watch the beginnings of dancer J-HOPE. 34:57 Thats the same year I was graduating with my associate’s degree around the same time.

8. Army. Their lights are called Army Bombs. However, when traveling, they CANT say they have a BOMB in their luggage. But, security at airports always are informed when Army is flying in with their Bombs to a concert and not to be alarmed. When Army sang to BTS it was a complete surprise. Other Notes. BTS has won over 1,000 awards now. Thank you again for caring enough about "Our Boys" to watch this long video. There are other documentaries out there too. But later on those.

You may want to check out Jimin's martial art video. You are able to see why his personality developed the way it did. He may be shy and affectionate but he is also deadly.

After more than an hour filming, "is that it?" is the best reaction to see 🤣 I love that you spotted their connection with fans - it was deliberate, and sincere, and it worked. People grew up alongside them, watched them grow up. But it made them vulnerable, too. I know you're mostly into production and there's no bottom to that rabbit hole 🤣 but I really would love to watch some live performances with you. Even if it just sparks more memories of your own time onstage, it's a perspective not many people can bring. It felt like you really connected with BTS through this video because for all that they're Korean and you're American, you really did have a lot of similar experiences. I grinned when you said "all five of them" because of course you know there are seven... but there were five of you, and that's what you had just been thinking about.

🙌🏾 BTS concerts were some of the most fun I've ever had!💜

I enjoyed your reaction to Taylor’s guide so much more than many others because you brought the perspective of someone who went through similar experiences. I especially loved you mentioning hours of dance practices . BTS routinely practices dance 8 hours a day and were known to practice 16 hours a day preparing for releases and performances… The Korean entertainment company and trainee system is unlike anything that exists in the west. The companies scout, train manage, do a&r, produce and distribute. When BTS debuted it was rare that the members participated in writing composing or producing and that bang si hyuk gave them that freedom was kind of ground breaking . Jk became a trainee w big hit in April 2011. By western calculation he was 13 when he left home, went to Seoul and lived in the dorms ( Koreans calculate age differently. Not going to explain here but google it lol ) So during their trainee to debut days, 7 guys ranging in age from 13-20 lived in a 486 sq ft 1 bdrm,1 bthrm apt … the mind boggles … (actually 8 people because a manager was with them as well)… Jin went uni, rm graduated high school, v and jimin went to high school together and jk was in middle school…they continued to live together until late 2021 btw. Thks gain Nathan I would love to see the breakdown of black swan and find out what that string instrument is on the track… I’ve heard harp, mandolin, Chinese guru in Korean gayageum … ??? 💜💜💜

Suga's full name: MIN YOONGI OST: Original Sound Track Visuals : really good looks! face value! RM's IQ of 148: rated as Extremely High or Very Superior They do live on VLive, now it's WeVerse. All of them are in the Military. Jin was the first in, so he will be out by June this year, followed by Jhope on Oct this year There are many charities going on around the world. I myself has my my own group of organizers, currently raising funds to donate to an institution of people with down syndrome here in the Philippines. The awards are ore than 700 now. They also have a lot of Guiness World Record. Again, thank you for supporting BTS. And Again, on my younger days, I was a fan of Plus One, and Last Flight Out is still one of my fave song to sing in the karaoke :)

I came across BTS because an Ice Skater I love did and impromptu dance to "Dynamite". Since then, I have become enthralled in how talented and accomplished they are! It never ceases to amaze me. Their personal releases are just as excellent! It's hard for me to have a bias -

BTS finds you when you need them. BTS has healed so many people, including me. They helped me through the pandemic when things got really difficult. I’ve enjoyed your reactions and am excited to go down the rabbit hole with you. Borahae 💜

Ost, means offical soundtrack.. its used world wide. Like how lady gaga was ost for star is born.. alessia cara for Moana.. and so on.. demi levato for frozen

On how K-pop groups are formed. In general, labels hold auditions and scout for young talents to sign as trainees. When they want to form a group, they select people from their pool of trainees and the group will debut. People can train for 1-4 years before debuting and they can also be cut by the label. For BTS, the process is similar in that all members became trainees first and the seven were eventually selected from among the trainees. A notable difference is that when RM auditioned, the label was impressed by his rap and lyrics that they decided to form a hip-hop group around him, so early BTS trainees were rappers, including Suga and J-hope. When the concept changed from hip-hop group to idol group, the label looked for singers as well. There were 10-11 trainees at any given time, coming and going, with a total of 30 trainees overall.
