MIC DROP!! CAN I CONVERT TO ARMY?? BTS REACTION!! (방탄소년단) 'MIC Drop (Steve Aoki Remix)' Official MV 

You know what makes BTS different with other groups, is that all of their songs are always made based on their situation in real life, that's why each of their songs have a very deep meaning actually. They always involved in their song production, they wrote their own lyrics and they share their stories through their songs, that's why many people feel attached to their songs, and not only that but sometimes they too also make songs based on social issues that happened in the world, and that's why many people feel familiar with their songs. That's the power of BTS, this is the engagement they've built since day 1.

Hard BTS Stan, here. And I’m a 52 year old woman with a 13 year old daughter (who introduced me). And I’m in the US. Love our guys.

I meeeaaannn they aren’t “main stream” in the US, but isn’t that just about what most people like? Maybe they’re not there and need to use butter to break through I hear you, but I don’t even know if they need to, or if they even can bc they’re so huge that if they’re not getting recognition now then they never rlly will to the extent they deserve. They’ve basically overtaken every live American awards show they’ve attended since they were invited for the first time in 2017. Pretty funny when none of the celebs knew what was going on when the boys walked in and the room just erupted. And that was back then, wait til they (probably) attend the AMAs in November and you’ll see what I mean. It’s like there’s no time for anybody else lol. So who cares what mainstream is when we all know who’s actually on top lol

"are they better dancer or singer?" they are good in everything actually. all of them can rap and sing periodtttt!

They are not just “ braggadocios” they have put up with such ridiculous and cruel haters since 2013 … telling them they were nothing so they deserve to tell this story and be damn proud !! 💜❤️

A big reason why many people have missed hearing out on them is that Bangtan doesn't get radioplay. Like, at all. They refuse to participate in the inorganic way that major labels promote their artists: pay-to-play. Basically, radio will tell major record labels, “Okay, we'll play your artist's songs. But you have to pay us." BTS doesn't do that. Bangtan started from and took off from a grassroots following on the web, and that is how they got to where they are now. We love to see it. 🤷

2:35 He: Everybody in South Korea is dressed like they’re coming right off of a music video set all the time. Me and my black T-Shirts could never. Jungkook: Am I a Joke to you?

I loved that Suga included the 'Sue It' line. There was an ARMY who went to their fan signs and kept threatening to sue him because he was too sexy and killing her. It was hilarious.

the US actually contributes a great deal to their views and charts. The US and Japan (the UK and Germany too, I think) are major music markets. Many of their fans are not actually in Korea but rather worldwide.

Fun fact: Mic Drop has 5 versions 1. Korean Ver (Original version with more rap in Korean) 2. Steve Aoki Remix (More rap in English) 3. Japanese Version (Yes they sing songs in Japanese too) 4. Ft. Desiigner 5. MAMA performance remix (for dance break) BTS were supposed to be a hip hop group but they decided to be K-Pop instead. This way, they can be super versatile and more experimental. BTS never stick to a just a few genres. Also, all the members are really hands-on when it comes to producing because they're sincere musicians. "Their lyrics wouldn't sound as cool when it's in English" Well that's because English isn't as nuanced as Korean. English is one of the easiest languages to understand and use because it's simple. Mastering it is another thing though. Wordplay sort of works in a different direction when it's in Korean too. Hence, a direct translation would be very awkward. However, this is the beauty of different languages and it's cool how English can be slotted into almost every language. Their fanbase is made of people from all parts of the world. Japanese fans make up the most its population followed by Indonesians and Indians and other countries. US fans comes in fourth. BTS really brought people together, no matter the age, gender, sexuality, race or creed. This is great because the idea of the world being one family should always be important. BTS has a huge influence on the world when their fandom has this size and impact now. And that's why BTS doesn't need to be on the radio in the US to always top the charts cos they have lots of devoted fans who listen to their music on their own and still buy their physical albums. Music transcends any language and barriers. Besides, with the help of international ARMY, their lyrics can be translated almost immediately and accurately.

Honestly RM can hold his own in front of a lot of western rappers. That man can give you rhymes, wordplay, delivery, metaphors in society, nature, space, love, and all that in Korean, Japanese and English. His IQ is like 148 ! Even the rapper Wale believes RM is one of the best rapper and lyricist he’s ever met! I personally need a dictionary when I analyze his lyrics 😅😅

I hope you get to react to the Cyphers and the song UGH! Those are some of my BTS favorite songs and of course I'm a fan of Agust D (Suga) so please react to some of his songs as well :)

Lol this is SUGA aka Agust D. And yes, he is great rapper. You should check out more of his solo stuff

just as we, non-us people, listen to english music everyday everywhere, you over there should also start widen your musical horizons 😂 we wouldn't get the legacy bts has right now without their korean lyrics where they are free to express anything they or the people around them are going through. that's why we are staying with them: because behind insane quality hype tittle songs there are b-sides that tell the real story. they were like that since the beginning, they always spoke up about underrepresented issues, and they still haven't betrayed this belief. as Magic Shop said, they wanted to succeed, surely, but in the end their main goal was always to make people's lives if even a little bit happier and easier

You should react to some of Suga's solo stuff. His mixtapes are fire.

They are brand ambassadors for Louis Vudtton, and Fila. BTS has their face on a lot of merch. They wear an outfit and it sells out immediately. 90 million fans and growing. These guys are hella impressive. If you want to understand, you should watch some of the documentaries that are out. They really are extraordinary.

Actually I’m from the State and I love their Korean songs more than their English songs they wrote and produced them and they are more meaningful and more my type of music …there are actually a ton of US Army in the US even in 2017 and 2018 before they release any English songs they already sold out all concerts in the US back then. The reason why they got so many billboard no 1 recently is because Army in the US are streaming and buying not because of radio play. Any foreign downloading does not count toward billboard. Anyway thank you for reacting to this song it is a classic BTS song 😊💜

Army Loves BTS for their lyrics, music and kindness. It is more than just the beat or the sound of the music. Their lyrics are deep and that’s what separates them from Western artists and most to Kpop

Bro highly recommend checking out 'An introduction to the 7 members of BTS (2021 Updated)' It talks about how the group came to be and the role of each member in the group, will be a good starter before diving into their discography

BTS lover here from New Zealand. I am 73 one of my favourite songs. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴

We think butter is watered down, but seeing that butter spent 9 weeks on the chart and has like 600m views on youtube, its safe to say that this strategy was successful as hell. Radio finally played bts's songs and so many people got introduced to bts because of butter. Its not their best work critically and I thought I didn't like them, but I recently noticed that a huge smile on my face appears everytime watching butter, ptd and Dynamite so I think the purpose is achieved.

suga is my fav.. he’s got uniq voice ..best influence.. genius.. songwriter.. producer..composer.. multitalented..masterpiece.. king swag.. rap god.. fast rapper.. korean eminem 😍🥰🔥🤩💜

J-Hope started it; Suga was second with the Mic Mic Bungee. This was in direct response to haters that kept saying BTS would never amount to anything and that RM, Suga, and J-Hope couldn't call themselves rappers since they were "Idols". One rapper specifically was extremely rude and dismissive when they first debuted; years later he "apologized"... this is BTS basically telling him to "Piss off. we don't need your apologies or approval." Also... the song is literally called "MIC Drop"...

yes!! this and outro:tear are some of bts' best hip hop songs, along with ddaeng, ugh!, and the cyphers! it's also really good to watch them perform outro:tear live, or any of their songs really! they're fantastic performers. also, if you want more edm type stuff from bts, check out outro:wings, dna, so what, and best of me!

Actually we have gotten Mic Drop over here. Saturday Night Live, Jimmy Kimmel, Ellen, & Dick Clark's Rocking New Year's Eve. That said, like virtually all Korean or Japanese BTS, radio play has been near nonexistent. K Pop in the US has a significant following but that occurs largely on the internet. BTS more than the rest has started breaking through.

Just let ARMY know what genre you’re on the mood for and we will provide recommendations. 😁

I am a 53 year old ARMY living in NYC and more people know who they are than you think, PARTICULARLY dancers.. You should watch ON Kinetic Manifesto Film Come Prima. And as long as you show that Bight (now HYBE) logo you should be golden. 😘💜 BTS is appealing because they dance like MJ and remind us of bands from the 90' and Hip Hop in the 80's. You will see.

I'm from USA🇺🇸 and I don't care what language they sing in bc it's all (fire) ..if you enjoyed their dancing in this video, you should see them live on the MMA awards show 2019 OMG!! With Dionysus full live performance👍🤗

Yo. It's still fun to hear you react to BTS's big hits!!! Yo. You don't HAVE to be army. It's just nice to have you appreciate and share their talent!!! Their dancing and visuals can NOT be matched by anyone else!!! They have broken all records...even the Beatles records. Now you know why they are so loved. Now you know!!!!!! You need to watch some of their concerts and award shows!!! "That beat is crazy!" Yes. Billions of us know that!!!! We can't get enough. And yes, their singing is just as good!!! (Actually they don't just wear Gucci and LV on stage. There is some fan who catalogs what they each wear...down to the jewelry. He provides who sells it and how much it costs too. BTS did wear mostly LV to NYC for their United Nations envoy trip. Usually after they wear an item...it is sold out the next day. Even those $4,000 t-shirts. It's crazy!!)

If you understood their story and the meanings behind their songs you would get why they brag in this song. This song is to all the haters in the kpop and western industry who looked down on them saying they'll amount to nothing. Coming from literally nothing, BTS grew organically without the support of a big label and became what they are now.

I don't know if I would call kpop watered down in the US. It's just like any other artist what people know and hear is just what the general public likes. For example you don't hear neon gravestones by twenty one pilots on the radio but you hear stressed out. I thought that was the case with most artists

Sooooo , i have 2 suggestions that are a must for any BTS reactors that like choreography and rap : 1- ON Kinetic Manifesto 2- Daechwita by Agust D ( who happens to be Suga ). Suga goes by Agust D when doing solo work. It’s Suga spelled backwards and the T D comes from Daegu Town (Suga’s birthplace)

Aoki's part was filmed at Popsicle Studios in LA.... and everyone uses that place. They're also wearing Mastermind which is high end Japanese streetwear.

There's an extended version of this with multiple dance breaks, if you like the dancing you can check out the dance practice where you can hear it with the full choreo

You should see the stadium performance of Mic Drop, full custom Dior black outfits, they go stupid!

You should react to Agust D Agust D, that song is really dope. Also, you should react to Agust D The Last with lyrics and SUGA First Love, both songs are really deep, meaningful, emotional roller coasters and very sick!!!

"Are they good in Singing or Dancing?". This is what KPOP have that other doesn't. Before they debut as an artist, they we're literally trained for years to be not only as a singer but as a whole package artist. They can Sing, they can dance, they can rap, they can produce song and they can act as an actor. Versatility is what Kpop all about.

BTS music is always a response to where they are in life.

50+ I-ARMY mom here - In Brooklyn, NY my girls 14 & 17 are ARMY as well. We all found BTS last year. I've been into K-Dramas for 3 years now. We love BTS's music, kindness, style, fun, swag & lyrics!!! This song was not bragging - it was slap back to haters who did not believe they could or should succeed. BORAHAE y'all 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

This is my favourite bts colab song of all time . it is so catchy and it will stick in your head for a quite long time . love the reaction Ernest . Your talent and personality are the greatest of you . Please stick to yourself as we all love you . keep do you .

Mic Drop was what got my attention and made me fall head first into BTS' rabbit hole. This is first on my gym playlist.

Mic Drop remix is BTS first song that went to No. 1 spot on the U.S. iTunes Top Songs chart in Nov 2017. They're the first KPop group to do so.

Everyone was on their game; and Hoseok man. Hoseok. He carried this video on his back. Right from the start he came out hitting hard. The rap, the dance. Suga, Rm killed it too. Then mafia boss V... Everything is so good. Jk, jin, and Jimin's fierce expressions. 🔥🔥 Rm suga and Jhope are real mcs. They rap rap.

Not J Hope! J Hope started the vid! The guy you love is Suga! They are ALL great!

BTS - UGH!

Rap Monster explained that the song was inspired by Obama’s speech at the 2016 White House Correspondent’s Dinner. “His mic drop was something that expressed, ‘Wasn’t my speech dope?‘ In that way, our song ‘Mic Drop’ is a track that expresses our swag, hopes, and confidence.” Judging from the lyrics of Mic Drop delivered by BTS, this song is dedicated to BTS haters. This song insinuates haters who once sneered and doubted the ability of BTS to achieve success both in South Korea and on a global scale. The beginning of the song was opened by J-Hope who did not accept it if he was labeled as a ground spoon. This spoonful expression of land is inspired by the economic situation in South Korea which is divided based on the theory of spoon classes, including gold, silver, bronze, plastic, and land according to the amount of income. If you are born out of wealth, then you will be included in the category of gold, silver, or bronze spoons. Meanwhile, if you are born in an ordinary family, you are called a plastic spoon. The last group is a spoonful of land that is pinned to families who are deficient. J-Hope continues that he has several golden spoons that can cover the mouths of BTS haters. One of them is BTS's achievements such as holding concerts with all the tickets sold out, making headlines on international media portals, and often invited to world-level music events. Suga later added that he apologized to his mother for the achievement of his excessive success. However, on the one hand he managed to meet the expectations of successful parents who had not previously been reached by his father and mother. Although the Mic Drop song lyrics sung by BTS contain allusions to haters, but this song also holds meaningful messages. From this song you can learn not to underestimate someone's dream even though it sounds impossible though.

This is my favorite BTS song and its's what made me check out other BTS songs. You have no idea how happy I was to hear SUGA and RM rapping in Butter. Love it. This is also what got me into checking out other Korean bands and Korean rap artist. If you like this then you should check out RM"s good friend Zico and his k-pop group Block-B. They were one of the first K-pop bands to introduce a rap line and are also known as the Anti-kpop group because they debuted with tattoos and piercings and openly dated. Not to mention the slew of bad luck they had their first couple of years that caused them to have a petition started for them to kill themselves. (People are insane, I don't know.) They didn't listen and embraced their position as the kpop brats. Their song VERY GOOD is their come back after all the bad luck and its a hit that's making a comeback thanks to bands like ENHYPEN preforming it this year. Also, I will bug you until you cover them. Just so you know.

If you like the dancing you have to see mic drop dance practice, is so INSANE

in the full version there is a drop, if you feel confused or can't concentrate on both lyrics and visuals (which is normal for a person who's not used to watch stuff in other languages) I recommend you watch a lyric video first and then an mv or live performance until you can actually do both at the same time, I'm a native portuguese speaker but I grew up with english in my life so it wasn't that difficult to do it with korean, it just takes a little effort

Just saying, you should totally react to the extended version of this song!! They have a massive dance break after the bridge and the BEAT is INSANE

BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS BY BTS IS EDM. LET'S GO!

wanna some edm from bts, not even remixes? Outro: Wings, So What (lives of this one are the besttttt), Just Dance, Save Me, Best Of Me, DNA ;) if you use color coded lyric videos, please stick to channels like zaty farhani, af taehyung, kpop vine or you risk to stumble upon a bad quality one! edit: out of the ones i named only DNA and Save Me have official music videos :)

go watch IDOL mv if you haven't yet and then "BTS - Mic Drop + Idol | live performance HD" because their concerts ARE insane energy

Mic Drop is the song that got me into KPop and made me an official Army.

Haven't listened to BTS in a while but as long as you're going through their stuff I would reccommend No More Dream. It's as old a song as you can get for them since it's from their debut album but it's one of my favorite songs by them and has a pretty good message as well.

The mention of spoon (golden spoon) in JHope's initial lyrics has cultural reference to SK's social strata. Plus this is their response to all the hate & decrimination that BTS were constantly receiving way back then.

Definitely listen to ugh and the explanation video 👌🏽💜✨ it’s the rap line

55 year old from Canada introduced not by my Son or Daughter. I thank myself for discovering the other side of the world during Covid, and I have never regreted it once. great dramas and music.

Rap was never my thing until I watched numerous music videos of BTS. I was glad their music/songs/rap were in Korean. Now I appreciate the artistry of rap. But then again, I am ARMY - an old (79) new recruit. (Former dancer, singer, performer). It's never too late to move to the music of BTS!!! 😍

So I’ve been ARMY for over two years. My first exposure was seeing them on The Voice. Right away I recognized their talent. Mic Drop was probably the fourth video of theirs I watched and loved it. It is still one of my favorites along with Dionysus and I’m an old R & B lover. I think there were many more US fans prior to Dynamite than most people realize. I am happy they have English language songs only because it will expose them to more people. I truly think there are very few people that once they discover BTS’s huge diverse discography don’t become fans.

MicDrop was already performed by BTS in SNL , Ellen show , Jimmy Kimmel, etc few years back. They have performed their korean songs in most US shows from American Got Talent, Stephen Colbert, James Corden and Jimmy Fallon where they featured BTS for one whole week.

BTS never had a deal with Gucci. The only clothing deals they have are with LV, Fila and Puma. So when they wear their drip, they wear it because they want to. :) And also, a correction: this version of Mic Drop was specifically produced for the English and US audience. If you've never heard of it, it's because as usual, they didn't get any kind of airplay because they are Korean.

You are honestly a perfect example of a former kpop hater, but seeing how popular it is you're open to see why it's so popular and appreciate it, so thank you so much, we really enjoy watching it. We hope to see a lot more. Peace

Yess Suga is the gp fav and also most man bias is rapline esp Suga

One of my 3 favorite clap back songs. This one, Dreamcatcher-Scream and Mamamoo-Hip. Absolutely the best.

If you want to know kpop music, you must know Big Bang. They are nicknamed "the king of kpop", they pioneered hiphop and edm music in the kpop industry. Bigbang is Blackpink's senior at YG Entertainment, and YG Entertainment is the repository of Rappers and their artist styles more swag (Bigbang,2ne1,winner,iKon) YG entertainment artists are known to be better at live performances than in mv

This song is deep because of how they started out compared to all other kpop groups and how they worked hard to get where they are. Their fans had a lot to do with their growth. That’s why there is so much loyalty from BTS and from their fans. To better understand a lot of these videos and songs you’ve got to do a Who is BTS video reaction because it explains so much.

you gotta react to this kpop songs (chosen for their raps and beat): - Stray Kids - "Easy" , "God's Menu" "Thunderous" "Domino" - NCT U - "Misfit" "90s love" - BTS - "UGH!" - Agust D - "Agust D" - Monsta X - "Shoot Out" - Everglow - "First" - Ateez - "Pirate King" "Thanxx"

What’s crazy is all of the effects shots. My favorite is right after RMs first rap break. The shot looks like he’s dancing in front of a mirror (the move you said you’d look stupid doing) but as he goes around the room, other members show up that aren’t seen in the reflection. The reason they’re not seen is because that’s actually a window and a double dancing in the other room to look like a mirror. Check it out.

I love watching people react to BTS and hear them say "this is dope" or "this is fire" and I am sitting here like "both of them are songs of BTS too lol"........you should react to both FIRE and DOPE and I think maybe also Not Today as well

I agree the camera work from bighit is on another level. It's a art on its own.

SUGA it's also my fav!! maybe listen to D-2? it's one of his mixtapes and it's soooo good!

Mic drop was for the haters who said BTS was never going to make it. They proved them wrong.

I love how this man is so wrong in many of his conclusions and all Army does is educate and give him a chance to SEE more of BTS. Purple yall, wherever in the world you are.

Actually they don't need to change their songs from korean to english, because for me and I know to hard bts stan loves bts more when they sing in Korean, we know that their english songs were dedicated to their international fans, but all in all bts is special to us armys bcoz we know their struggles and we know how they persevere and we appreciate their hardwork so much.. Thanks for reacting💜

Yes, they're sayin stuff every rapper has said before but I would LOVE to see any hip-hop artist dance like these cats. You should also react to the Mic Drop dance practice because J Hope goes STOOOOOOOPPID hard in that video. Like he got no bones. And if you want to dive into Korean rap, Bobby, Tablo, B.I., G Dragon, Flowsik are some guys you should check out. If you like the deep raspy rap voice, Flowsik is definitely someone you need to check out.

I'm 38 years old lives at new York I'm following the boys since they earliest days since 2013.im die hard ARMY 💜

I used to listen to Kpop but it was like 7 years ago when there was only BigBang or sth, after watching this I'm completely blown away by how Kpop industry makes their MVs nowadays.

Their dancing and singing is equally impressive; but their ability to do both at the same time is the true talent. 🔥💜 They do this live in their concerts it is fabulous 🤗💜 Thanks for your reviews 🤗💜

You gotta see the dance practice and live stage. So much more powerful

By the way, the explosion in the background is *real*.

Please continue the BTS reviews after kpop week regularly, I like your take on it!! And there is so many dope songs to react to still.

I agree that in terms of the song’s message, BTS isn’t necessarily reinventing the wheel, but understand this: the guys have been through A LOT of BS since the day they debuted. So many people have underestimated them and told them that they’d never make it or be a force of change. And yeah, they’ve blown up in past few years, but that doesn’t absolve them from the constant othering and discrimination they have faced and still face to this day. Despite all of that, they still decide to mostly put out songs with positive messages for their fans rather than being bitter and calling out people who have done them wrong. Even if those organizations and individuals 110% deserve it! Including Mic Drop, they’ve released a few diss tracks, but those probably make up anywhere between 2 and 3 percent of their discography. So trust me, if anyone gets to talk they shxt, it’s surely BTS. As you learn more about their story and upbringing, which is full of stuggle, I’m sure you’ll understand what I’m saying a bit more ✊🏽

Usa is actually in the top 5 countries for Bts music video views lol 🤣 well, that ofc changes from week to week, but Usa is on the top of the list anyway. Mots7 concert tour had over 10 sold out stadium concerts before it was postponded for rona.

Love their dancing how incredible great reaction thanku so much love and God bless x

Thank U for your reaction. It's a must for you to watch FIRE and also NOT TODAY. Nice day!!

You should react to Burning Up (fire), it’s sick lol

Dude! You are in a group of reactors that I consider GOAT.

ARMY here💜I'm sure a lot of fellow ARMY's know this already but something interesting about a high percentage of BTS music videos is they don't use CGI all the time. The car blowing up in the background at 10:39 was actually real and was not CGI. And for Fake Love when the floor is falling with Jungkook running, that was also not CGI same with the Fire MV when the car dropped. Sorry if I spoiled anything I just wanted to let you guys know since I find it cool💜Love from the US

There is nothing like they are better dancers then vocals..vocal line have so many amazing songs where they show what they got..they are just perfect at averything (rapping singing dancing)

You should check out their dance practices.They have an amazing dance line.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA I loved his reaction Pd: The explosions are real💜

They're huge for a reason.

Crazy or not I’d die if they released 50 more songs like Mic Drop. Wouldn’t stop to hydrate and would dance until I died a dried up husk of a shell of a human. And it’d be totally worth it.

the rapper you were referring to was suga, not j-hope. and 1 of the inspiration for this song came from president obama when at his last press corp banquet said something like "...obama out..." & dropped the mic.

Never been this early! Love this track!

I think ALOT of the views on BTS videos are coming from a North American audience. It would actually be interesting to see a breakdown from RU-vid. Lol... They have a level of global stardom that most acts cannot achieve. The reason that people, including myself until recently, may not know them or their music is because of the lack of radio play and mainstream support. I believe they have cultivated their international fanbase mostly online. But once you know, you know. Lol... You should listen to more of their rap songs. Check out Suga's solo song "Daewichta" (under his alter ego Agust D). Or, "Outro Tear", "Ugh", "Disease", all their Cyphers.... I mean, the list could go on and on...

I believe there are more Americans that appreciate and are die hard fans of BTS than you think.

Yay. I recommended this last time. Didn't think it would be your next reaction. You can do Fire next, it was equally dope. Thanks for the reaction.

I discovered your channel barely 2 hours ago and I already love it! please imitate the choreography next time haha Like Jimin say : you nice, keep going !
