tHANK UU

@@agos8609 Of course, love! 💜

Thanks 💜

Thanks :)

thamks sweetheart

ive never agreed so hard

stephsgay we love people who know what they’re talking about :(( love all of you guys

Yeah every time I see j-hope now I just see the talent inside him, like you can just see this kind of charm that comes out of him so naturally. Like just so good.

Daniel rojas zea hoseok, along with the rest of bangtan, is really one of a kind :((

Everyone slept on him early on - except his members. They knew that JHope was truly extraordinary.

He's JAY on stage 😂

Pamella Ikirezi J-Dope!

Truth🙏🏼🌞😍💜

Because obviously his the SUNSHINE 🌞

seokjin owns my ass all of the power and energy he exudes on stage looks so effortless too. he does all this while staying true to being a supportive role to the rest of his brothers on stage and it just always puts a smile on my face to watch his charisma and chemistry with the rest of the boys!

The accuracy lmao

Damnnn exposed 😂😂

This is a true pd fan right here. 😂

hey, PD's pronouns are they/them or she/her. read their about on their channel info xx

a /bts/ ballad

Oof Oof After Citi Field, I was permanently converted into being J-Hope biased 😂 I’ll never regret it

i swear he's my bias wrecker but my god after their concert I've never been more in awe he has no bones, and his expressions IM GONNA DIE

i can confirm!! he's like the sun

It's a good thing that I've been a bias for jhope because in the end he's always going to steal my heart.

That moment when you’re jhope biased and suddenly everyone around u is too. My friends came out saying “sorry, but i like jhope now too” and eye- wE STAANNNN

jungshook that is the most relatable thing i’ve ever heard

Literally same.

What time?

I'm the 1000th like. Finally 1k intellectuals.

Jin's voice is my crack and Jamais Vu is my favourite b-side track on the new album.

Jin my all time ultimate bias since 2015. Yes jin's growth in personality n vocally really impress me n deeply appreciated. His voice captured my attention n always chasing if ever he got to shine tru new song new album. No success in one day without persistent hard work n dedication. Whatever happen to him, he ll never dissapoint me. Don't fear of doing mistake, learn from it n turn it into the element to evolve n grow 😊👍👏👏💖💜

So does Hobi

I feel like he's finally comfortable with using his voice an instrument instead of just a tool and he can experiment with it now.

I know i am late but Honestly its not that jin has a niche role but bighit made his role seem like a niche role

it hilarious the way joonie was explaining .. 😂

That v live where Joon talks about putting my home instead of mi casa is so funny 😂

@@yingqunchen1172 Danyeowaseo hi My house 🤣

if Namjoon says Home sounds ugly it sounds ugly.

I wish they would use “Mi hogar” instead of “Mi casa” because hogar is more close to the heart but I am happy they use Spanish

Leon Deveraux Indeed.. And it's scary! I mean, this man glow up is terrifying. He can kill with his forehead and smile!

I always kept thinking it was jimin but know I clearly see jin voice, the idea I get from this album is that those guys have become incredible artists plus they aren't even done they want to go way harder because they can and they have the talent, they are such phenomenal singers I really loved this album, reason why I kind of consider this album the best they have released until now.

seokjin actually used his lower register just like that in no more dream

My mind is still blown by this information

Where did you find this information??

nsd the live performances. Just watch the comeback show

1kialove AGREEEE GIRL !!!

PERIODDTT 👏🏾

Totally agreed

saaaame

I wished they would perform that song at their concert

THIS! His stability is phenomenal in concert. I'm so proud of him.

people often forget that jin started in bts with NO SINGING SKILL AT ALL

Mark Noble 1.Jhope and Jk tied then 2. Suga 3 Jin 4 rm 5 V 6 Jimin btw jimin is my bias so I’m being fair this is for stabity

Yeah! :')

And home too!!!

I really agree with this. The fact that he used to get so few lines to now being a stable powerhouse in concert (Epiphany was a wild ride, I also love Awake) often makes me wish people would notice him more. Not only the fact that he has improved so much overall like he's wanted for a long time, but that he is a wonderful addition as a vocalist. He is definitely someone you'd want in your group for that.

Exactly

Was searching for a comment like this one.

right? i’m so tired of those backhanded compliments. “he’s a good singer BUT” no, he’s an amazing singer period. nations vocalist!

Honestly I agree with this...he became such good singer and from the concerts dvds and live performances, he became confident (at least I don't notice his insecurities) and he is the 2nd most stable member of vocal line for me after Jungkook (don't kill me pls), I think recent realises can showcast more of his abilities....

I mean, not actually tear up but-

ちゃんと仕事になってるから！大丈夫！！！(^-^)o(^-^)o

i know you werent aware and im not attacking you but PD is a trans woman whos pronouns are she/her (just so you know in the future) :)

Ashley Raper she was a man? Or he was a woman? I don’t mean to sound rude. I’m just a bit confused.

@@lonereaper7437 shes MTF (male to female) :)

*they/them

Suga’s Sugar omg Crystal snow is what made me a sucker for his vocals

Mireille PD actually doesn’t want to be referred to with male pronouns, check the channel description xx

Claire Higgins Thanks for this I didn’t know & Ive been watching PD for about a year

Laura no problem! Honestly I didn’t know until just recently either

he's so amazing live too. His voice is always so stable and strong

Listen to it again 😂

Why is this me?😭😂😂

Same for all you just said. Really

Lets just say he is the whole package

Karis Alpire yesss!!1! I agree fully and am also hoseok biased

Golden hyung

You know the first video I saw was blood sweat and tears and I remember thinking jhope was the leader. Even tho at the time jimin was way too charismatic to not bias immediately, jhope really grew on me. After his mixtape, and also tear, he joined jimin as bias. (even tho in tear he had the least lines, I thought his delivery was a perfect interpretation of the lyrics)

true smh

Samexd

Same

this is LITERALLY what I thought when I saw PD freeze lmaooo

Park Jisoo He's also owning the performances. I've been noticing him in the background a lot more because he's been a bit more expressive.

@@nerasomnia IKR!! It's like he SNAPPED in this cb

He put very much effort in this album. He wrote 90% of the lyrics of the album & also help in producing it just like tear.

to be fair, honestly, all of them stood out so much. this comeback is phenomenal, so amazing. idk there's something about this era that is very exciting and i know there's so much more coming!

I agree, Joon didn't have too much lines but the ones where he did have them, he slayed. I also think this is Jin and Hobi's era too, esp Hobi, he's been killing it!

Also his “metal scream” at the end of Dionysus was EPIC lol

We all know it chill

Candela O'brien Sangster no, apparently many people don’t know it or don’t wanna know.

@Risnoveanu Adela Jin is best at live. Period. Jungkook is good too but for high notes he shifts to falsetto which is okay too but that bleak high note isn't that ear pleasing. While Jin just gives you a whole eargasm in Epiphany.

@@saremzarak5536 I think at that point it's just personal opinion because I personally love both the way Jungkook switches to head voice and how Jin usually doesn't, but I totally understand where you're coming from.

NeraSomnia _ Congrats. Mine is Jin, eventho at the moment Joon, Yoongs & Tae seems fighting for that bias/buas wrecker position. Damn!

you know what? my bias is jhope but he bias wrecked me n e ways

Actualy jimin sad that it was his favourite track on record. Btw it's my favourite too )))

@@ratibolqvadze2410 Oh my bad! I remember him choosing Boy With Luv on their VLIVE but I have heard him mention HOME and other tracks in other interviews. It's so good! I could listen to it on repeat forever 😄 Especially Hobi's part, it really gets to me 😍😍

LMAO THE WAY THEY ALWAYS CALL THE SONG "REMEDY" INSTEAD OF JAMAIS VU 😭😭😭😭

@@han-ek8pm haha exactly, they are definitely avoiding something 😂😂

@@han-ek8pm wait really??🤣🤣🤣

personally currently my favourite bts vocalist. whoever has been coaching him is doing SEVERAL things right

@@superpollyuni and his vocal coach once stated that he worked really hard...shed blood sweat and tears (like she said). Jin always sent cover of songs to his coach and he asked for feedback

@@vkim5256 yes!! i remember that, jins such a passionate and hard worker, he deserves all the praise and success he's received!! lovely guy

it would be hard to react to their Japanese songs since the copyright laws are really strict and it most likely would get taken down

only gguks it's okay if he doesn't react to it. i just want him to listen to it, even on his own time. :)

Hanami0907 that’s my favorite part of the whole song! There’s just no way to describe how great it is

time will come we'll use "Hoseoked" as a verb 😆😆

Bangtan Ree you can search #hoseoked on twitter and there are soooo many armys since years ago talking about hoseok stage presence and how he always ends up being everyone favorite live !!

Kate B how u already watched 15min of the video if it was released 1min ago 🤔

It's only been 8 minutes since the video came out 😂😂 how are you already at 15 minutes

Probably because she wanted to see the reaction for a specific song

Lucas Spindola I wasn’t really interested in seeing the reaction for Boy With Luv since he already did one, and I wanted to see Persona last

Oh I think he did and it's on his Patreon page. He posts his live stage reaction only for his Summer Tier patrons.

Sarohane thank you for telling me!

Jungkook will be the Death of Me when did they state that? like i see it in the about page but was that always there bc i dont remember that

@@sarohane7790 they won't upload reactions of stage performances on RU-vid right?

I only knew pd went by they

Facts!

Me all, I can't choose.... This album is a masterpiece...

FACTSssss

TRUE!!! Home snatched my wig the second it started

Straight facts.

Same I dont usually comment mainly for the reason that I got my whole name on my youtube account but when I see a really worth it to comment videos well I comment 😬. And when I talk about worth it to comment videos its usually BTS's

I also have my damn full name on display. Ahahaha 😅 But yeah, i just really have to express my appreciation towards PDnim. His content is always worth to watch because he always has something unbiased comments towards each group. And i love BTS. If that means showing my full name on the comments area then so be it 👌 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

me too! my bias is RM but I feel you! our hyung line needs to be appreciated too

@@DeniseAlves91 exactly! Not to be that person but I always felt like hyung line gets the least favor and appreciation from the fans. I love the seven of them but i always make sure to give extra extra attention to the hyung-line.

Jamais Vu is such a good song and people just sleep on it.. Sad

he is absolutely the golden hyung!

Just one thing, he is the main dancer

Ikr 💜💜💜💜💃😅

wiwiss wissem went to a BTS concert a couple of weeks ago. Can confirm this is true lol

joonmoonssi lots of people have said that, but then they could have had the video version for the shows and the studio version for the video, it would have made more sense to have her more in the video since she flew out there and have the version she sings the most in.

@@glcnornes3783 when they released the ARMY version of the video she was in it much more and they used the EP version of the song.

joonmoonssi pssst. I know ☺️🤗 I’m referring to the official main video first released to the world 🌸

Cat and dog Ft. Yeontan That or Airplane pt. 2

NeraSomnia _ omg yes! I can’t believe I forgot about Airplane pt.2 ;-;

Yes, same! I wasn’t really into the song until I saw the their performance and now it’s one of my faves from the album.

He saw it in the concert don't worry hehe

100% agree. I didn’t get the song until I saw the live. I didn’t understand it musically-it felt bipolar. But then watching the live, it became one of my favorites.

Jinri yes!! I didn‘t care for the song but jesus it‘s one if my favourites now bc of the first live!!!

He has, he was at their Rosebowl concert :)

I love this, because it's exactly the feeling I get from the song too. A sense of vast, deep energy somehow that's almost hard to even wrap my head around. It feels like a universe in a song

For me, the feeling I get with Microkosmos, it is like a end of something? A story? Circle of life? I don't know, but maybe I am trying too much lol. But yeah, I think it's so emotional, because of this feeling of "End". I was even thinking if this song should be an "outro" instead of Dionysus, cause of this feeling I get.

He has actually been doing that since the very beginning 💜 the rap line (including Jung hoseok) have contributed and participated for for every discography of BTS album since their debut time. For their wings album j-hope and suga co-produced same # of songs. The original satori rap by the rap line was written and produced by all three of them and this is pre BTS debut. Hobi was the only one to debut as a ft. Rapper for a well known kpop idol Jo kwon's (2AM leader)solo Animal song ft. Jung hoseok as a rapper in 2012 and he also wrote his own verse for that, this was a HUGE thing for an agency to value their artist's skill and talent to that extent to let him do that predebut BTS. J-hope has been accredited for 82 songs under his name which is around same as suga and RM has been acrredited for 100+ songs. RM usually talks about on his vlive about how hardworking and talented J-hope is and all his contributions for all the albums and song tracks and how he is also a genius at creating and making catchy beats and writing verses which end up becoming the main hook of the song that people subconsciously love the most without even knowing that it was J-hope who made it. RM has also credited J-hope for the success of the song mic drop because it was J-hope who wrote and composed most of that including jk's verse that most people liked, same thing with Jin's solo Awake. The rapline usually write their own verse for every song. it's true that in this album RM co-produced all 7 songs, J-hope 6 and Suga 5. And the members spoke about his huge part and contribution in this album but suga did the same with Hobi during wings and RM usually talks more in detail during his vlives introducing every album. Hoseok just never talks about his contributions himself unless someone else mentions it first so most of us are unaware until we see in lists of credits on every album. I do agree that his mistake hopeworld really helped by showcasing his talent and own style to the world and grow even more as an artist. They all have been growing and getting better with each growing experience 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🤗

あの私個人的に、まだ頭に、きてる人がいて！あんたの行動やはつげんが嫌いだ！ぐくさん！

@@user-qc2zr7nq8t im sorry i dont speak japanese😅

rapping/singing isn't everything. That boy can move, his dancing skills are top-notch to the point he doesn't have to think about choreo, he has that "muscle memory" he's dancing without much thinking, that gives him freedom to perform, have you seen his facial expressions while dancing? Others may look like very focused, but not him. And last but not least, he's very confident on stage. Imo as a performer he was always ahead of other members, BigHit acknowledged his performance skills, after all he was the only trainee member who performed live as a featuring artist a whole year before BTS debut- June 2012 Jo Kwon "Animal" (feat.Jung Hoseok) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tp2o4_8ZVqI.html (btw even back then he was already working on writing lyrics, he wrote his verses in that song, as a real rapper should, from the start he took his role as a rapper very seriously). I wish people stop discrediting him as a writer too, he worked way too hard to be treated like that. 85 writing/composing credits at KOMCA says it all.... Edit: another Animal live performance haha ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uNj67t69TAg.html

@@uvayakone9281 Yeah he worked so hard and the fact that he didn't know how to rap at first is just so amazing that he has to practice rapping because he didn't know how to practice more because he was still a trainee before and right lyrics that's what you call TRUE HARD WORK.

Completely agree. When I got into BTS, it took me almost no time to be able to distinguish that there were four vocalists and three rappers. Kudos to Big Hit for letting them each develope their own unique voice/styles. It adds so much flavor and depth to their songs. Oftentimes, companies try to make singers fit a certain sound. There are other groups that I can't tell the difference between the members at all unless I'm watching because they all sound the same. Boring.
