My friends react to BTS for the first time | MIC Drop, Tear, Baepsae - Part 1 of 2 

"they do stadium tours, they don't do arenas" yes bts are too humble to flex their achievement so armys are here!!!

I think Tear was a great one to introduce your guy friends to - not only is it hard hitting AF, the lyrics are just so emotional. Anyone who's ever been through the pain of a break-up can relate to Tear. DKDKTV also has a really good explainer for Baepsae which discusses the multi-layered language and cultural nuances (and for Ddaeng and Daechwita, which are in your part II!)

"Do they wear make-up?" Yes, everyone in show business do, no matter which country they are from.

I am an older fan, in my younger years there were a lot of musical groups that wore make up as part of their stage presentations, i.e Bowie, Kiss, Marilyn Manson, Prince, and many more, just like K-pop artists do now. I appreciate your reactions and commentaries.

Baepsae is more about socioeconomic issues than just generational. Yes, generational plays a huge part in the song but for a different reason. Economically, it's a lot harder for people now to live, everything is so expensive, and salaries often don't cover what you need to pay for everything. People have to give up actually living life just to work to survive. But people born with "silver spoons" or people who were given more of an advantage just say "work harder" or "put in more effort." They act like people not being able to support themselves in their current economies is their own fault for not working hard enough and being lazy, rather than a huge gap between those born more privileged and those who were born in a time where there was economic prosperity and things were much cheaper, compared to those who weren't born into amazing positions in life who are put at a disadvantage. So it's like saying "You are a stork, you were given long, powerful legs. I am a crow-tit, how can I possibly keep up with you when the legs I was given were so short" referring to economics and your station in life

Maybe it's just me getting immersed a thousand percent into my boys but if you want them to understand or read the lyrics i don't think interrupting the song is the way to go. Everyone is different so hopefully they still understood but i feel like talking over the song about outfits or explaining the lyrics themselves makes them miss the parts you just talked over. Still thanks for spreading the love for the boys. You should have kidnapped them to hobipolooza so they understand even better 🤣

yess “they do stadium tours they don’t so arenas” 🙌🤣

so looking forward to UGH! and Daechwita 😄

What the man with the beard said resonated with me so much. "Who are they getting to know? You or your writers?" And i guess that is exactly why armys have this emotional connection with BTS. This bond, what everyone is trying to replicate, came from sincerity and from them opening up to us. Nobody else can do that.

BTS rapline is amazing My bais is jin and rm But My ultimate ultimate ultimate bais wrecker is jhooope and suga I'm hyung line forever 💜💜

would be good if they saw the mic drop mv and baepsae dance practice, i feel like the sound is clearer in music videos and other performances so they could hear the music/see choreography better ddaeng would also be cool for them to listen to cyphers, home, her so many great rap line songs

always up for seeing new people get introduced to bts

All the three songs chosen were the best to show for the first time to a young audience because they can relate to it especially Bapsae, while Tear and Mic drop are just masterpieces too good leave for later... also TEAR was written at the time they were going through a rough patch and it just represents their feelings of then with no remorse towards anybody else but themselves.

My tl:dr rant on stage makeup:- Virtually all stage performers wears SOME amount of make-up, depending on the lighting, camera work and type of stage settings used. This includes broadcast, orchestral, theater and concerts. It’s just a variation on type and amount of stage makeup needed for the different settings. Otherwise, your facial features will look blurry, washed out and lose all definition from the viewer’s perspective due to the glare from the bright lighting. I recall having to wear the much-dreaded (due to allergies) stage makeup even as an insignificant minor performer (not in direct line of all the bright spotlights) in various orchestras /concerts, just so I “won’t scare the audience looking like a featureless ghost”. This practice is a necessity that goes beyond vanity. Only difference is that for Western male performers (w exception of metal, goth, grunge, heavy rock artists where the makeup is somehow non-punitively accepted or even celebrated as part of their musical persona), the stage makeup focus there is to create a “natural” no-makeup look that their audience is oblivious to. However the objective for stage makeup application is completely different in K-pop (& other Asian ent industries eg C-pop, J-rock, J-pop etc) where the visual-aesthetics plays a crucial supporting role in the entire artistic performance and viewer experience. Here the role of stage makeup is much more than simply muted BGM. Instead, stage makeup is deliberately also used front & center to add weight/depth/dimension to the artists’ musical story-telling. Sadly, this “makeup non-agenda” is often used by prejudiced folks steep in cultural insensitivity, xenophobia &/or toxic masculinity as an excuse to bash artists like BTS.

J-hope's Dior outfit and Tear 💜💜💜

방탄소년단을 다른 친구들에게 소개해줘서 고마워요😊💜

please show them their MV too😊😍 id like to see their reactions in Mv too , specially in "MICDROP", "NOT TODAY" and "ON" 😊

I like their clueless reaction😂😂its funny.. bring them and show more videos

Yes jhope appreciation!

Love this reaction and I think it really makes a difference when there's someone to instantly explain stuff. The guys were so attentive too that was refreshing. About TEAR I think Suga came up with the beat and the concept of the song when he wrote his part of the rap but he didn't write the whole song, Rm wrote his own part and Jhope did too.

I think your friends kinda got lost interest about BTS cause you played their live performances. You should start with a different video. Like Introducing to BTS. Something they can understand about BTS how they started and how thy came about. And some of their great vids. Like "ON" or "Black Swan". That's how I got into BTS. It was so deep.

I hope you react to jack in the box or Arson 😭❤️‍🔥

These songs are such a good introduction for BTS reactions.. and yeah... THE JAY F*CKING HOPE ALWAYS WEAR COOL OUTFITS😌

During tear “Oh so he is you bias” Every army: “No, but yes, but no.” *eye roll* “you will never know until you know”

not to b that person but yall basically talked over jhopes ending verse (aka the best part) in tear n i wish yall payed more attention bcs he ATE! man was outta breath

Jhope slayyyyyyy 🔥🔥🔥🔥😋

Can't wait for the part 2😉

“I feel like you are not displaying yourself unless it’s 100% your staff..Otherwise who are they going to know, you or the writers” actually I don’t know if other artists do it, probably yes, but bts can talk about some themes and professional writer will organise their thoughts into a nice speech, or make it in a song. They did it with the speech for un 2018, also vocal line do that a lot, talk about their thoughts and struggles to Rm or another lyrics writer and they make a song based on these thoughts, so in this case you are getting to know the artist even though he didn’t write lyrics himself

Great video! Just talking over the song to explain or talk about other things irked me soooo much because you make them miss the best moments or cut off their focus on the lyrics, instruments, dancing, facial expressions, etc. People might dislike to pause the video, but I find it better than to talk while the song is still playing.

Love it you did well in introducing You can show them more if you want

Salute for the guy with yellow tshirt he know jungkook❤🌸 thank you girl for introducing your friends for bts they are so clules hope you show them more💜👌

Correction they were going to disband because of the hate and accusations in their early days, not for a break. The plagiarism accusations really got them down and was taking a toll on their mental health.

Nice job but I actually thought I was gonna cry when y’all talked over Namjoon’s part in the SNL Mic Drop. Maybe pause so iconic parts aren’t totally missed? But love ya and good luck in Korea! 🙏🏽💜😍

Nice reaction but I wish she had explained "T E A R" and J Hope's "Fear" the different meanings 😕 was still a good reaction 💜

*BTS's rap line* MIC DROP, tear, BAEPSAE. isn't better just showing them rap line's songs?😂

I'm so sorry I didn't like this reaction I felt your friends underestimated the group

I'm curious who is the 2 you thought wanted to quit? Coz I haven't seen any mention of that.. Their Festa dinner just mentioned doing individual works but not quit perse. Their 2018 speech only mentioned that they were having difficulties that they discussed disbandment. Just thought to clarify.. 😅

Jimin is my bias

13:09 the white middle guy look so lost 🤣💜

In the song Tear the cameraman did a perfect work!!!!!°

I love BTS 🇧🇷💜🤗🥰

Hiatus is not the right translation. Dj Dino said the best translation is "off-period", certain times they're in performance or recording mode, sometimes they're not and it's an off period, so they're in an off period from group recording and performances but they're still doing other group stuff while they are "on" with solo projects right now

Makeup is literally for everyone every gender makeup just give u confidence thts all ur beautiful already naturally ❤and in Korea our male idols do makeup wht is their makeup it's just a normal foundation creams and they only use lip balm which is normal and they only set their hair thts all is their makeup which is nothing a big deal ❤

Wear the makeup or not there is nothing wrong with it. Jungkook literally said in 2015 that he collects cosmetic 🤦🏻‍♀️😐

It’s so satisfying when there is someone to instantly explain😆

I’m so happy you picked songs that you thought would suit their style!

I keep on eyeing the one who is wearing red and with the white hoodie. They act like couple 💑 😁

The two gyz red jacket and white hoodie they looked so bored and rude.. I hope in the part2 we can see some excitement from them.. Waiting for part2

This made me think, if i were to introduce BTS to non-army, which song and which video should i choose? I am taking pride of the quality of each of their works! It would be extremely hard for me to choose 😭😭😭

mag reaction ka ate sa concert ni hobi Lollapalooza

Bts have Rapp line and vocal line, and all member also do solo project, they attend the UN session too, than I think all artist not just asia use stylish and make up when they perform.

They should watch "ON KINETIC MANIFESTO"

this was so fun!! haven't seen SNL in forever, really hard stage to perform on

Your friend in black cap and white hoody says the word “Tagalog” so I think “ napilitan lang syang manuod, same with the guy in the red Jacket, it really shows in their expressions and reactions.

Looking forward to Cypher 1,2,3,4,

OMG I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL💜🥰😊

Nice video Chantelle. Thanks.😊

Why did she say they are on a hiatus they are not at all , they are doing individual music and taking trips Separately but are still doing there show Run BTS and performing together as a group on certain events , also none of them said let's quit on there Festa 2022 two months ago they are still a group they didn't break up and they are not going to Jungkook did a Vlive explaining that so people or Army's can stop saying they are on hiatus or broke up . Need to get your facts right . Don't spread false information if you don't fully know then it's best to ask other Army's who actually do know.

More reactions with the guys 👌😍😍

Amazing reaction 💜💜💜💜🔥

There weren’t some members who wanted to split they were all discussing this together and with the company they all had doubts.

Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. Love that u showing your friends BTS. I hope they watch the MV for Mic Drop. They can read lyrics there. Also, I hope they watch explanation video by DKDKTV for Baepsae. That song is deep. I am kind of surprised u did not remember what the stork and crow tit signified. 😅 This was fun. See u soon. -NY USA 2019 Army💟

Even got aqua man in this reaction. Sheeesh!!!

Can they react to Jhope lollapalooza please?

reaction lollapalooza jhope arson and more

Bangtan 💜

This was fun...but can't wait for part 2...please upload it soon 😍🤗

Can you react to more of Enhypen? 😿

People who are new to BTS tend to remark on the fact that they wear makeup. I know they tend to wear it off stage as well as on but if you don't wear makeup on stage or TV you look washed out. The glam rock artists of my day really went for it both in clothes and makeup so perhaps it seems more normal to me.

more reactions bts with them, please

Pause the video while talking..

6:59 hey distracted them at the best part lol

Show them more about them!! 💜💜

Omg thx for introducing them to bts ! I love watching new ppl react to bts,nice reaction ^^ cant wait for part 2 😆

... I am surprised that you didn't even bother to check the meanings of the songs before showing it to them. Like... BAEPSAE....? Girl there are videos explaining BTS songs ON RU-vid itself.

Next, please show them ON, CHYPER 1,2,3,4, DAENG, and DAECHWITA.

I assume your friends are new to BTS. I would suggest to show them and react to The rise of bangtan Chapter 3 House of Cards. It would best explain why they are most successful KPOP. I'm subscribing to your channel and hope you enjoy BTS's music.

Can you guys react to jimin,v and jungkook fancam plssss💜

Fyi i repeat your video reaction to run bts some times. Cz i like your reaction there

New upload, thanks 💜

I would have shown them the rapping, dancing and singing skills in ON! Their best to me!!!

Please let your friends dig more songs of BTS

I think you should watch a tear song for a rap line, a song in a vocal line. And I definitely recommend listening to ddaeng.and agust d daechwita.Or how about having the members listen to their solo songs?

please show them music vidoes :3 also, if they like anime they should check out the tower of god soundtrack, ‘TOP’ by stray kids, the mv is killer.

When will part 2 be posted ? I’m a bit excited 😭😭😭 I keep checking my notifs

Bapsae is a political protest song about income and privilege disparities between boomers and Gen Z. It's the same conflict we have here. Boomers had higher wages, cheaper prices when they were working and growing families. So when Gen Z says "it's impossible for us to get what you have" the Korean boomers respond just like ours by saying "just try harder". They use the image of a short legged bird (crow-tit or bapsae in Korean) trying to keep up with a long-legged bird (stork) who doesn't understand why the bapsae is complaining, ignoring the fact that they were born with an advantage. In case Gen Z does not know, Gen X complained about this too. The boomers were being assholes back then too. But there are more of you, so hopefully you will be able to make changes with your influence and power. Us Gen X people are rooting for you!

Boy with the red jacket just go to sleep already.., he was realy bored.. 😅😅

I Love you! But You Talked So Much! That The Possible New Army Couldn't 🙉 Hear Them Much!💜

MAKE THEM REACT TO RUN BTS PLSS

I love his last statement...facts man

idk if you realized but in the micdrop performance in snl yoongi did his rap part slightly off beat and he did it on purpose

I want them to react to cypher medley.

I love how you explain the songs to them before watching the video

It would have been fun if you had done the baepsae performance compilation video, they definitely would have enjoyed it lol

please reaction to all videos of bts live perfomance in korea and videos of bts concert all around the world because i love your reaction 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Loved the reactions with your friends and couldn't take my eyes off the guys in the red and white sitting together. They look like goofy friends with a lot of chemistry. I kept shipping them together because they would look so good together! I think I need to stop watching BL drama's 🤣🤣

Show 'em practice videos and how they perfect them with 16 hours practice & 200% hard work, keeping in mind they sing @ the same time when they do the lives. Normal people like us w/o the years of stamina building will collapse from sheer exhaustion few minutes in.

Fire vid 🔥 all look like cool dudes hehe

parttt 2 pls

💜
