@@carmenhee8032 RM can still mean "rap monster". Real Me isn't its only meaning. If you watch that vlive again, he said he changed his stage name to RM because "Rap Monster" made him feel limited, and that "RM" can let him explore more venues. He gave an example to what it *could* mean, "Real Me", but RM doesn't specifically mean just that, and it also doesn't not mean "Rap Monster"

i think all my male friends prefer rap monster over real me lmao
"How are they so big in the US and dont even speak English" is such an American thing to say honestly 🤣 I'm from Russia, and I listen to English, French, Hindi, Korean, Spanish lyrics - when the song is good, it's good no matter what language it's in. We stan culture education and talent:) UPD - same with captions, the entire world is so used to them :D
I know man it makes me cringe. It implies music can only be popular if it is in a country's native language, which makes no sense. Typical "I'm the center of the universe" american. XD
Those 2 girls are so adorable! I hope you show him either Mic Drop with Steve Aoki or the Cypher Melodies Live concert performance. Fun to watch. I can't believe he only gave it a 7 when he said dancing, singing, visuals were all great. Why was he holding back on the score?
YES to Cypher Medly live and Yes to Mic drop. I say do MD first then just roll him right into the Medley, no break, make a long video, I'm here to see eyeballs pop out in amazement. :trapped at home, need entertainment:
D Walley it’s because it is new to him and he might need some time to get used to it, believe me, it’s a high score to give especially if you’re into a kind of genre that is a complete polar opposite of kpop (like me). Been there before, and now, BTS is my lifeuuu!
americans : i cant read subtitles and watch movie/music at the same time everyone else : bruh that shits easy we've been doing that since we were kids.
@@rxijin7602 I can't lie, you made me laugh. Maybeeee ... this would be a good place to copy/paste my reply from another comment that essentially made the same statement? Hey gang...after reading all the comments here I would humbly like to submit ... Please don't throw all Americans into one basket. I've traveled internationally eleven different times (including twice to South Korea), and while I live in the middle of a dang corn field in the Midwest, I've been into Kpop for a decade. I have precious friends who are from Serbia, Iran, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, South Korea, China, India, and Nigeria. I watched foreign films with subs before I ever discovered Kpop. I know that I'm a little unusual, but I'm not a unicorn. I have many friends who are like myself. Back in the mid-1960s before my dad was married, he spent an entire summer on a group trip to the Holy Land and has always had 'wander-lust' in his blood. They got off the boat in Scotland and journeyed all the way down to Greece (and possibly Turkey I can't remember now). I've studied French and Greek, and have picked up some Korean. My niece not only speaks Mandarin, she excels at it and is a sophomore at university. I do get it that many Americans are exactly as have been described, and believe me I can roll my eyes and want to scream and shake people. Unfortunately, the loud ones get the focus. The strong ones get the focus (like radio and awards show gatekeepers). But what gets highlighted is not an accurate representation of the entire country, just as a K-drama isn't a direct reflection of life and relationships in South Korea. I know that no one meant any ill will, and probably no one intended to imply that literally ALL Americans are a certain way. I'd just like to suggest that a few thoughtful, qualifying words would be useful, like 'some' or 'many' or 'often' instead of 'always'. I hope I haven't offended anyone. I'm just throwing my two cents out there. Everyone stay healthy and avoid the stoopid virus. Ugh. Thank you God for the internet.

Henry Boat If you want K Hip-Hop I suggest UGH, Outro Tear, all the cyphers, Mic Drop, and DDAENG. All of these songs are from BTS and they are such amazing songs
Why people like BTS in a nutshell: 1- Great personalities, they have amazing teamwork but every member stands out individually too. They're all talented and bring something different to the table. They're also truly really good friends, which is very heartwarming. 2- The music mixes different genres in a way that is smooth, there are songs for all music tastes. They also have solo projects so fans can appreciate their individual styles/voices. 3- They're not just amazing dancers with cool choreographies, they're also amazing performers. Even when they don't dance, they can make the audience interested and know how to interact with the crowd. 4- They participate in the music production of their songs, they decide what is the concept/topics of their songs/albums. This makes you feel they are more authentic or connect to their own music. Even more than music production, BTS rappers write most of their lyrics. 5- They are known for having poetic/interesting lyrics that talk about a wide variety of topics, some of which are relatable to many people. (From mental illness, to social criticism to growing up to self-love to resilience to all kinds of relationships.) Their lyrics are inspirational, motivational and comforting. (For many ARMYs, lyrics are the most important. We translate everything to multiple languages, we discuss them, etc.) 6- They are amazing storytellers backed up by a professional crew (film directors, cameramen, stylists, etc)... There's a fictional story that runs through their music videos and a lot of fans are into theories. 7- They produce a lot of entertainment content (variety shows in which they play games, reality TV shows they record in short travels, blogs, live streams, music reviews, etc) and they are very charismatic people, basically: they're really funny guys and also good people, humble, kind, hardworking.. The type of people you wanna be friends with. Don't underestimate their sense of humor, they're hilarious. 8- They do charity and social activism, most notably they're UNICEF Ambassadors and have a campaign to prevent violence towards minors. A lot of fans are interested in social activism, so they admire and imitate this trait of them. 9- They have sort of an "from the bottom to the top", underdog type of story. A lot of people love underdog stories, I think they also are very inspirational role models for many fans who are from minority groups (POC, LGBTQ, etc... ARMY is very diverse). 10- Their content is very culturally rich, they quote books, philosophy, psychology, films, etc... I personally think a lot of people enjoy how much they learn by being BTS fans, in a way that is engaging and interesting not boring. (You can learn from the music production process to literature to history to bussiness to cuisine.) 11- They genuinely appreciate their fans and communicate a lot with them through social media. They make their fans feel special and included. (They read fan letters, write songs specially dedicated to the fans, thank them in every acceptance speech, talk with them casually in some social media apps, recommend music, share their hobies such as photography, etc.) I think them being attractive is the least important. That can make people curious but it doesn't make fans buy and stream their music or remain fans for a long time.
@@em5522 genuine question: why are you recommending this channel and probably watching their content? These DK guys made a video in which they insulted BTS and never apologized. We charted BTS cyphers because of what they did. So I don't know why you watch their content when they are hypocrites.
@@vickyharb7703 no, technically, they didn't insult them but gave a different opinion. We showed them we disagree. But IRL do we stop speaking with people because of little disagreement? And David apologized. Danny said he won't do that again
@@jazzylike89 They apologized after they lost a lot of subscribers, not because they were sincere. But in IRL, do we remain friends with hypocrites who bad mouth us behind our backs? Anyway, you do you. I don't watch or support their channel, and I hope that real ARMYs do the same.
@@vickyharb7703 lmao real armys wouldnt be so petty and vengeful. Damn you're the reason we are labeled toxic, cant stand 'ARMY' like you. But hey like my man said in the video you stay classy.
I was like 'right girl" when the girl in black shirt said she has pick on RU-vid like so right she represented the whole fandom. Thank you for the reaction though
"How are they so big in the US and don't even speak English" Surprise. The world doesn't revolve around America. Edit: the English language particularly not the whole America lol pardon my terrible english, it ain't my native language.
? This response doesn't make sense. He windered how they got pipular in the US without speaking the dominat language. Not how did they get so popular throughout the world without speaking English.
infiresos ‵‵ this doesn’t make any sense, he didn’t ask how they were big in the world he asked how are they so big in the us which is majorly an English speaking country.
I grew up reading subtitles (in my language) while watching shows in English (or other in some other languages).. I always find it funny when people say they can't do both at the same time, like seriously these people sure have had an easy life XD Nowadays for me the subtitles are mostly in English (because there's usually no subtitles in my language) but my English has gotten a lot better because of that tbh.
Ikr... I grew up watching movies/dramas from other countries e.g. Hongkong, China, Taiwan, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Thai, France, Spain (spanish telenovelas!), and always with subs! That's how I picked up bits and pieces of other languages, through listening and reading at the same time. And yes, I have absolutely no problem paying attention to the facial expressions of the actors as well. I get pretty impatient when I watch reactors struggle with reading or actually reading out loud word for word.
All the shows I liked as a kid were in different languages so I've been reading subtitles as a kid at this point I like having them, so when people tell me that, i kinda chuckle
I grew up watching anime and then foreign dramas or movies and i always prefer the one with english subs than dubs so when i got to know bts, reading captions was a piece of cake 🍰
true though, im used to reading subtitles because rather than watching cartoons in my language i'd watch the foreign ones. English isn't my first language and when I was 1-5 years old All I watched was English stuff with no subs and age 6+ all i watched Was Anime (ofc with subs), Chinese Dramas, Japanese Dramas, Korean Dramas, etc..
“This is marching band level “ Fun fact : in the music video the dancers are members from “the lab “ dance crew studio from LA. Known from World of dance . Also the marching band members in the back are from the DCI famous competition marching band “ the blue devils “ Also this track was collaborated and work with the UCLA marching bruins band .
first ten seconds, i was overwhelmed w how beautiful henry is first of all. secondly, xarria and jay are just.....j'adore. the sync!! the squee!! the faces when henry says something and you have to physically hold back from explaining years of context and kpop history!!!
RM stands for "Real Me" now. My bias (favorite) is Jimin, the guy who started the song with the blue hair, why? His personality, charm, charisma, and his unbelievable raw talent and hardwork. Jimin is a monster performer, he always leaves me breathless. For me it's always the lyrics, I might not like a song the first time I listen to it, but the lyrics can change my whole perspective of it. There are songs I only listen for the sound. But the songs that truly shake me and stay forever rooted are those that have lyrics that speak to me. "How are they so big in the US and dont even speak English", what an american thing to say. It always shocks me, how unused americans are to things from other cultures even if the USA is a whole mixing pot of different cultures. I'm Peruvian (South America), so I've been listening and consuming media from other countries all my life, language has never been a barrier for me.
As an asian, I kinda forgot that kpop started to boom on the west last 2016-2017. Kinda sad that some people doesn't know legendary 2nd gen groups, and yes, they're BIG.
I love how open minded you are, and those ARMYs next to you are really precious💜 Can’t wait for more vids! You should react to UGH! seing as you were excited about the rap line
Girls you should tell him that these boys trained for years or atleast a couple of months to master everything. Kpop has this kind of intensive trainingvand after years they can tell what designated position in the group you are in, it's kinda depressing for every idol but for me it's very effective. I believe that's what makes kpop different you can tell by the result.
love the dynamic here. where you have legit kpop fangirls to answer your questions. (as kpop fan, I approve of them by the way.) they be doin our jobs cause it gets frustrating to watch clueless reactors not get their actions inmediately.
You should definitely have your friends on board for any future BTS reactions! I think they were a great addition especially when it came to answering your questions throughout the video.
LOVE that you had your friends on this to help you out. Most RU-vidrs just ask questions the whole time or make goofy assumptions that end up frustrating the viewer and making the creator sound ignorant lol. Good on you. 7 out of 10 though, bro? C'mon you know the dancing, message, visuals, and vocals were all top-tier! ;) You nice, keep going!
i’m just gonna say this now....I love ur friends! they r just like me and how i feel about bts, especially as a black gurl as well. would love to see u and them more often. you nice, keep going(only armies will get that btw :))
OH MY GOD- At first I was like “Oh yeah me and my friend do that” with the twinning thing But now it’s just on another level You two are connected lmao
Girls, thankfully you were there, 'cause I can't with native english speakers and their issue with subtitles... I GREW UP WITH SUBS, AND IS NOT THAT HARD OR IMPOSSIBLE!!! Hopefully he'll come around, like she said, it takes practice. Overall I really enjoyed the reaction. Keep it honest. Keep it simple. Keep it up. Thanks for giving Kpop a chance!! Btw my Bias is SUGA, and RM is the one ruining my list very often.
Thank you for your reaction to BTS! You have actually started off on reacting to one of the biggest global groups that's inspiring the world in many ways. Btw, you won't get copyright strikes put out by BigHit Entertainment who is BTS's label/company. If you are curious to know more about them, you can check out their 'Who is BTS? The 7 members of Bangtan". This will give you an introduction on each member. :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xu0IfBvZMRs.html
I've loved Kpop for a decade, and while I enjoy many groups and their songs, you speak 100% truth. There is no one like BTS, and the gap is HUGE. They truly have become ground-breakers and trailblazers.
@@dalvargas805 My opinion about them is about their totality. That's 'best to me', not an empirical evaluation of the technique of an individual element like vocals of every member. All of their elements blended together (singing, dancing, performance expressions, stage presence, stage sets, music, message, relationship with their fans, individual hearts and how that jumps off the screen...) are what become the best imo.
Dal Vargas In my humble opinion, I think BTS are the best in terms of their overall discography/songs, artistry, rap (best rapline period), diverse vocal color, personalities, chemistry (yall know some groups lowkey not that close while bts are a family), self-written LYRICS, messages, themes, MV storylines, fan interactions, bond with their fans, and the list goes on. This is coming from someone who used to stan 2 other groups
Psy was a one hit wonder in America because after all that gangnam style and gentlemen stuff he wasn't taken seriously by the american general public. Since then, kpop in the west is seen as nothing but korean "meme" music. And bts is here breaking that stereotype or stigma about kpop.
Do you guys have any favourite member of the group? Girl: the leader, RM. Girl, I understand you, I subscribe right now, I love you too much. ok I'll stop😂💕💕💕
7:36 "It takes practice to read the subtitles, listen, and watch" LMAO I didn't even know that took practice but I thought it was natural but now i noticed it really is practice I'd watch so many kdramas and cdramas before getting into BTS
This guy sounds pretty open to new content I like that. Also thanks to the girls for introducing him. You don't gotta like BTS but the fact you're willing to give them your time and attention is amazing and ik they'd appreciate that.
@1:18 Their Official ON MV was right below the manifesto video LOL BTS “ON” Manifesto - I think of it as new grown mature versions of their old selves *They teamed up with marching band / dancers called THE LAB and filmed in Los Angeles which the kinetic manifesto film is a preview video of their full choreography since they only do the dance break part in their official MV* when this came out I was like this the whole time 🙀👀 then ☠️ toward the end, I couldn’t explain it at all I had no words it literally gives me N.O with Not Today vibes that I found later through interviews that this title track is reverse of their 2013 title track “N.O” from their second album ‘O!RUL8,2?’, our guys definitely didn’t come to play, once I heard it I knew it was the title track. Like OMG the others are playing the drums behind Suga and our man Jin front & center. I did notice Jin wasn’t part of the dance break b/c he said it was very difficult for him which is perfectly fine & understandable, he has been doing so great along with RM and Suga with their dancing; i’m overly proud of their improvement 😵😻 I know nobody wants to think about it but since Jin, V & JungKook will start standing out more because V & JK will have to carry the responsible of BTS name when the time comes having to send off their hyungs one by one unless they all decide to enlist at the same time which i pray doesn’t happen; which hasn’t been confirmed yet and i’m not sure on how that would work since they haven’t started their solo debuts yet which is concerning me the closer it gets to enlistment which may not happen because of the virus outbreak. The more I listen with lyrics & many fans have their theories but I think what theyre basically saying is no matter what negativity or challenges comes their way they’ll overcome it together when they say “Bring it, Bring the pain”, I wish every kpop artist had that mindset because there would’ve been less disbandments & members leaving their groups. I’m so proud of their improvement and I also believe the backup dancers representing the ARMY 💪🏽 which is saying that the fans & BTS have each other’s back, theyre willing to go out of their way to help each other and others to get through the hardship. Theyve mixed in allot of their old choreo with this new choreography, there’s so much symbolism going on within their dancing including the new fake tattoos on Taehyung’s face & neck which he wanted to use for this concept. Their outfits symbolize the Light & Dark, which they’re finally embracing both sides to balance themselves (revolutionary title song). #BTSOn
I'm not really into kpop. I only got hooked on to bts back in 2015 and still going strong today (yes they're the only korean group that i stan lol). Waiting for your next reaction 💜
The only thing to remember is to not bunch all kpop groups together just because they are korean. I enjoyed your reaction and LOVE your enthusiasm! I look forward to you exploring more of BTS' music! 💜 Edit: fixed autocorrect
Omg MCBS I'm alum and army how cute!! I thought you looked familiar then I realized I must've seen you in the FB group or something how crazy, keep going!
This was one of the most fun "first time" Kpop reactions I've ever seen! You have to bring those awesome ladies back for a K-hiphop & K-R&B (oh yeah, they exist) reaction video (or two or three)!
oof I hope he gets to see NCT U 7th Sense, Honey by Lay, Any Song by Zico, Pour Up by Dean and Zico, HIP by MAMAMOO, Emergency by Vince and E.Tion, such. I think he'd really vibe with these
you honestly reacted so well to them and your friends did such a great job of educating you on them :) if you ever want to, please react to more of bts and possibly more groups including k-hip hop artists.
Wow! I loved how you introduced & explained things very calmly to him. I loved his reaction too. "You will like BTS if you listen without Prejudice." - Min Yoongi
I enjoy watching people on their beginning journey discovering BTS/Kpop But, I just discovered I may enjoy watching fans even more. Good job beautiful ladies! Great mix with the fans and the new comer to K-Pop. I will be looking for your next Kpop reaction video too.
Im happy yall saw the dance version of on but I would really really prefer the MV because you said like the background or the setting shows more of the story as well as the lyrics but with the dance version they only have one background so it will be more accurate showing him the MV so we can have more visuals more exclamation and everything like that but it’s just my opinion
come on queens! educating him and bopping along. personally, i watch the mv/listen to the song first then read translations later. my slow mind can't do both at the same time lmao. you asked great questions with an open mind. i recommend watching the intro to bts video where you can really learn more about each member but first watch fake love/idol :)
i ALWAYS watch the video first and then i rewatch with the lyrics and as time goes by you keep listening to the song and you remember oh hes saying this and hes saying that. you also have to love and be passionate about something in order to learn from it
