NEW BTS FAN REACTS TO A Guide to BTS Members The Bangtan 7 - (방탄소년단) BTS REACTION!  

When they said that Jungkook was 15, they were speaking about Korean age. Which as of January 2023 is no longer a thing. The government voted that Koreans now have to use their international age. Before that babies in Korea were considered to be born at age 1, and everyone turns the age they would be turning during that year on January first. So if you were born in December you would be considered 20 for a whole year before you actually reached your 20th birthday. Meaning that in Korean age you could actually be 2 years older that your real age depending on what month it is and what month you were born. Jungkook’s birthday is in September, so he was actually 13 when he moved into the dorms as a trainee.

My granddaughter was at the wembley concert. BTS sold out 2 Nights in About 90 minutes. On the second night when BTS went off for a costume change the staff put up a notice on the screens asking the audience to surprise the boys. I was waiting outside the stadium and we heard about 90,000 people singing in Korean. There are a couple of good fancams for you to check out 💜💜💜

Also, because the younger members were still in school, the older members took great care of them. Jin took them to school each day, cooked/packed their lunches and helped with homework. It’s very much a family dynamic. And an interesting social experiment that shows that seven men can live together without toxic masculinity and with stronger ties than most families have. Also, don’t worry about pausing. Army prefers you to pause and chat. We’ve all seen this documentary 100 times. We are more interested in what you have to say.

Since this guide was made the Proof album was released. It's basically a BTS greatest hits album. RM released his solo album Indigo in 2022, J-Hope released his solo album Jack in the Box in 2022 and released On the Street as a goodbye to ARMY before entering the military in April, Jin released The Astronaut as a goodbye to ARMY before entering the military in December, Suga/Agustd released his solo album D-Day this spring and had a huge sold out world tour, Jimin released his first solo album, Face, this spring breaking all kinds of records and JK just released his first solo song Seven this week. Both JK and V are both working on solo albums that are supposedly to be released by the end of the year.

the instrumentals are mostly BTS' songs (some are from the original clips used) 1:06 - ON 1:35 - Black Swan 3:21 - Euphoria (JK's solo song) 7:17 - Mikrokosmos 10:11 - Bicycle (RM's solo song) 12:12 & 13:18 - Interlude: Shadow (Suga's solo song) 14:39 & 15:45 - Best of Me 19:18 & 20:06 -Outro: Ego (jhope's solo song) 23:13 - Baepsae (Silver Spoon) 23:39 & 24:21 - Moon (Jin's solo song) 26:46 - Your Eyes Tell 35:22 - Blood Sweat and Tears 36:28 - Inner Child (V's solo song) 41:07 & 42:32 - Boy With Luv 43:57 & 45:29 - Spring Day 48:15 - Home

This 71 year old retired RN member of SeniorArmy of the world! Love you young men so wonderful. Thanks for a joy to so many people around the world. God bless you.

A fellow Welsh person! I get so excited when I see another countryman discover BTS, trust me you will not regret it!

RM is actually in the middle in terms of age. Jin, Suga, and Jhope are all older than him.

Suga actually worked with IU twice. First time on IU - eight, second time on AgustD - People Pt.2 from his solo album that was released this spring before his solo tour started. He also appeared on IU's talk show, as did J-Hope. BTS stands for Bangtan Sonyondan (Bulletproof Boyscouts), but they (and we) call themselves just Bangtan for convenience.

Even in their own country they did not get the needid support, because they were a small label on te verge of bankrupcy. They came on top with pure hard work, dedication, blood, sweat and tears. Not because off the marketing strategies that the other big companies had. So its is an extra cherry on top to see them take over the world. And thats why we love m so much 💜💜

The black swan instrumental is from (I believe it’s called the) Black Swan Art Film, that was released around the same time as the music video and featured a contemporary dance troupe. BTS also danced to this instrumental version of the song at the 2020 MMAs. (Mèlon Music Awards). The second instrumental you asked about is the song Euphoria. Third instrumental you mentioned it Outro: Tear. Fourth instrumental you mentioned is also Euphoria.

All background instrumentals are from their songs.

I’m glad you reacted! Suga and also technically J-Hope are also older than RM. BTS stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan. At the point of you asking, it had already said that at least twice if not three times, lol. Also when the guide has songs included, it names them in the top corner if it hasn’t named them in the next or is literally showing it with the album/single picture on screen. Btw it’s out of sync since the Mamamoo ad, the audio is then ahead of what we’re seeing in the inset video so we’re seeing and hearing your reaction without seeing exactly what part of the video it’s relating to. In terms of the Wembley videos, check out a couple different ones. Sorry I don’t have the links, but often people only watch one where you can see their reaction, which is great to include, but you also want one filmed from much further away where you can here more if the crowd singing. It was an amazing experience being there, and we were a lot louder than a lot of the videos indicate!

Oldest JIN, SUGA, JHOPE, RM, JIMIN, V, JUNGKOOK, BTS played WEMBLEY STADIUM 2019 and had 2 sold out concerts there, they are only the 12th artists in the world to achieve this, I became apart of ARMY in 2021 and am Britsh { Scottish ] and when i heard this and because i know how iconic WEMBLEY is this cemented my respect and love for BTS 💜🔥💙

Please check out BTS- Fake Love MV... there are a lot of b-sides songs from BTS that are just as good or even better than their title songs like: Louder Than Bombs, House Of Cards, Tomorrow, Butterfly, So Far Away, Stay Alive, Your Eyes Tell, Blue & Grey, etc.

Your favorite 68yo Army here. I loved your reaction to this...and I've probably seen a 100 reactions to this video. You shoud check out Suga/AugustD's song( by song I mean the official MV) called "Daechwita". You commented on it in your reaction and I think you'd like it.

Next documentary videos that you need to watch are 1. The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS 2022/23 update by Rice Squad (this is about their journey from beginning to present, how they are formed, their albums from beginning to the latest). 2. Xceleste Introduction to BTS (as a group). Enjoyed watching your attentiveness. See you on your next BTS reactions.

Helpful hint for when you do RMs solo songs Joke and Do You (and BTS Debut song No More Dream) - the official MV on BTS channel does not have eng subs - here are the links with subs Joke (Official MV eith eng subs) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OxMrBNBWksM.html Do You (Official MV with eng subs) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rN0_2jyOgzg.html Also - BTS No More Dream (2013 Debut song MV with eng subs) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-btIzXwxDWOY.html ALSO - BTS RU-vid channel BangtanTV - has RunBTS, performance behind the scenes, MV making films, interviews best quality live performances audio/video with eng subs, we like to use the youtube channel EnjoyBTSMore, she has put accurate lyrics to their most iconic performances. Best Lyric Videos from Dial6137 Any other old BTS content (Interviews, backstage, etc) that doesn't have subtitles you can search the youtube channel BangtanSubs.

Just started this vid but wanted to say not everyone hates pausing 😅 I personally enjoy knowing a reactor has time to read things, and also that they can express a reaction in the moment they feel it and not end up missing content just because of it. Everyone has their own styles so you do you! But if it's to keep complaining down just know the pausers get just as much views, and usually from a lot nicer folks than those who whine about it.

Yes, BTS stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan which translates to bulletproof boy scouts in English.

I've seen this video maybe more than 100 times...and I always see the reactors really like it, Thank you for the reaction and getting to know BTS , actually I want to recommend you for the Next reaction of The Rise Of Bangtan, many reactors have done it after this video, Please try reaction The Rise Of Bangtan , and The Rise of Bangtan Bonus and Deleted scane episode, you will get to know BTS when they first stand up and get to know them more deeply, many Reactors react to The Rise of Bangtan, and they all love it, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hrOqT5Fm4_E.html .btw my bias is V.... Borahae💜

Mama army nueva suscriptora 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🇨🇴

Jin was born in 1992 suga was born in 1993 RM and Jhope was born in 1994 V and Jimin was born in 1995 and Jungkook was born in 1997

MY 7 👑💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

RM truly the best human being, songwriter, composer and poet in the world 💙💙

Hi there, the instrumental background songs in Taylor's video that didnt have titles are: 1. Black Swan - orchestral version 2. Euphoria - I suggest you check out the live performance by Jungkook at Wembley stadium 3. Mikrokosmos 4. Bicycle - RM's song accompaned by an acoustic guitar 5. Interlude:Shadow - rap song by Suga 6. Best of Me These boys have come a long way and while 2 of the members are serving in the military they have already released their own solo projects that show their growth.

thats why we always want reactors to se this guide before diving in because then you appreciate their music more

They counted JungKook's age the Korean way. He was actually 13. They recently changed to international age.

Hi I would also love to recommend that you watch bts the rise of bangtan episodes.... It's shows you how bts started from scratch... Yes Taylor Mari made a amazing video of them here... Bts is amazing guys truly... 💟💯Loved your reaction

Listen to Jin’s Epiphany. It’s about learning to love yourself. Beautiful song. I’m 70 my grand daughter got me involved with BTS. They are 7 most humble guys I know. So Talented and Dang Good Looking lol

Here is a link to the Wembley stadium singing 'Young forever' (the Enjoy BTS more 'channel video is the only one who explains it !) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4WP6YElUzcI.html But you might want to do a reaction to the actual song before, to understand why they chose this song. It's a really meaningful song to BTS and Army !

I assume you know this at this point, but at one point you forgot to cut the ad from the embedded video but cut it from your reaction. I'm only mentioning it because from then on I was watching your pre-reaction, because you were a few seconds ahead of the guide 😂 It was fun anyway! You should definitely look up the whole video of the surprise at Wembley, it's lovely. Folks have told you many things, I thought I'd just toss in that in Hybe groups the leader isn't generally the oldest, which was unusual at first. They've found it works better if the leader is chosen because they lead well and the eldest can support them within the group. The leader of Enhypen is one of the youngest of them (and he's a good leader!). I think it's a good way to do things, personally... The groups seem more stable overall with that structure.

Hi just letting you know the video and your reaction wasn’t matching up, your response was ahead of video. 💜 since 2022 they’ve done a whole lot more as solo artists and as a group so there’s lots more to check out. Unfortunately they’ve started enlisting in the military which is mandatory in Korea so they won’t be together as a group again until 2025.

BTS are really all about their lyrics and their message. If you want a breakdown of their discography, told by a very resourceful and talented ARMY that likes to cover topics related to them in video essays, I can recommend one for you. It's a 1 hour video, but she did an amazing job, and I think you will appreciate it, now that you have been introduced and have an idea of who they are. You will get the full story on how they became members, and even information your average ARMY may not know. She went very in depth. It was fascinating to watch. I'll link it for you. Her channel is Boracity Magazine. Chapter 1 - of BTS's discography is their journey from before their debut, up until their anthology album in 2022. Chapter 2 - Right now they are in Chapter 2, which is their solo projects and then their military service. Chapter 3 - They will come back together in 2025 (Which will be chapter 3). I would really love to see your reaction to the video, and I'm sure other ARMY's will too. I think it's totally worth it. I got so much new information from it. It really brings home their journey and different stages of their discography and how it relates to what they went through. You will definitely find new music you will be interested in. An Introduction to BTS's Discography (from Chapter 1) by Boracity Magazine - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JEM5rRjq7kc.html

After this you need to check another great guide to their Discography for the first 10 years. It will get you idea on their concepts and sheer amount of music that they put out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JEM5rRjq7kc.html Taylors guide you watched is good for general info and personalities and so e solo endeavours but it doesn't include group music which is main thing

This guide is a real treasure. The Wembley song was a true unexpected moment. Thank you for watching the guide. 💜💜💜

I really appreciated your reaction. Thank you! Just a tip: if you continue to react to BTS you are likely to be overwhelmed by comments. Armys totally understand if you don’t comment the comments!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I love that Wembley moment too - I know lots of people who were there, and, like me, they still weep when they see it. There are lots of YT videos of it. One reason I find it so powerful that nearly every time I see them interviewed in the West (USA or UK in particular) they are asked when they are going to do an album in English. I find it incredibly rude (they never asked Pavarotti when he would sing Nessun Dorma in English after all). So, when playing in Wembley, a venue they have idolised all their lives. they found themselves listening to 60,000 British, European and American fans singing to them in Korean it certainly moved them, and no wonder. Their comments afterwards were also very moving.

7:19 RM doesn’t mean Rap Monster he outgrew that hence why he stopped going by that name RM means Real Me that’s the one thing I wish they’d have put in the video

Lyrics are a huge part of BTS discography because they are writers, composers, producers, etc of the art they create so it's very important. They contribute to the many layers to their song/music creations with their amazing teams of talented HYBE/BigHit staff alongside ARMYs, of course. Besides the members, we're their biggest cheerleaders. 💜😁🎶

This video is the best! But I just want to point out that she forgot to mention that RM's 148 IQ is genius level but Jimin and Jungkook both have an IQ of 128 which is pretty high too. I don't know about all members but Taehyung and Suga seems to have an IQ above average too. She said that Jungkook is good in everything but she forgot to say that Jin also is good in almost every sports, he also can play the piano and guitar! And even tho it's "accurate as of May 2022" It's still not updated because with BTS you basically can't have an updated version for a long time. If you want an accurate update of BTS you would have to add another 5 Minutes every other week because they are working so much that they achieve something new every other week. For example as of May till now, they again released multiple solo albums, other projects, won many awards and broke records. And if you want detailed videos about each member it would have been a 1 hour video for every single one (probally longer LOL) Update: as of Dec 2022, BTS hold the record of the 4th most awarded artist in the world with 900+ awards. But awards and first places are stolen from them. I urge you to watch the information videos by Boracity Magazine: BTS vs radio BTS vs Spotify BTS vs attendance award shows BTS vs boybands coming back Why the music industry is terrified of bts why the boyband "hiatus" doesn't apply to bts Why most Armys don't like Kpop "the next bts:" why they fail every time. bts paved the way, why is it so hard to accept it? How the bts army changed Fandom culture the truth behind crazy fandoms trends bts has created

Did you notice they all learned to sing in training JK was actually 14. Korea only recently adjusted how they calculated birthday's.

Nice to find another person that Loves Black Swan. That was my intro to BTS and I've been a full-blown ARMY ever since. There is so much to learn about BTS and each of the individuals. Each of the 7 is so unique and J-Hope once said he thought it was FATE that brought them together. One note about the ages: up until recently Korea used to calculate age differently. So, whenever they said Age 15, for example, using International Age, they were about 13. Jung Kook joined the agency at age 13 and when they debuted in 2013 he was 15 and he was designated as the Main Vocalist. That meant in addition to being center in the choreo's much of the time, he also recorded all of the members parts (except maybe the rappers) for them to learn their parts, did most of the background vocals and ad libs. Nowadays, they all do some of everything for the most part. That said, they are currently doing solo work as they gradually all enlist in South Korea's mandatory military service. 2 of them, Jin and J-Hope, are already enlisted. Jung Kook was the most recent to release a solo song (just on July 14th) called Seven. Warning - the MV is the "clean" version and the Performance Video (with choreo) is the "explicit version. They're both great, but some might be taken aback as they aren't anything like BTS' group performances. lol That's true for some of the other members' solo works, but not in the same manner. J-Hope was the first to come out with a solo album called Hope in the Box last year. Jin did a solo single called The Astronaut in collab with Coldplay. RM produced a solo album (masterpiece) called INDIGO. Jimin did a mini album solo called FACE with 2 MV's. Jungkook just did solo song SEVEN (all in English) and is expected to have an album out something this year. V is the last and we think his solo album will be out September or 4th Quarter, but no confirmation of that yet.

Jimin is so humble

those 7 boys made bighit big. funfact rm learned english from watching the show friends

As of 2023 they have over 1000 awards

I can never get sick of watching reactions to the guide💜

If you want to watch/react to the video of Army singing at Wembley stadium its in the channel "Enjoy BTS more" the name of the video is long but you will find it if you type "ARMY sings "Young Forever @ Wembley in London. It has eng subs.

React more BTS content plsss

There is also an introduction to the first ten years of the discography if you are confused because they have a lot of music by Bora City Magazine as a great overview withou spoiling the songs

yes BTS always releases a instrumental version of their music. and they made a classical instrumental version of black swan that a dance team was performing to. the video is on YT it´s so amazing. and jimin also has a solo dance of this. and at mma 2020 bts made a black swan performance and it´s one for the history books. it was so beautiful

Just caught up on all your BTS reactions and subbed! I really think youre doomed to become ARMY at this point. They have so much good music it's almost unbelievable. Seconding people requesting reactions the Rise of Bangtan docuseries since it's so well done. There's a lot of episodes so maybe once a week? As far as music goes, I'd recommend Dis-ease (no MV but the channel Dial6137 has a great lyric video), Louder than Bombs (again no MV but the same channel has good lyric videos), and Zero O'clock (same as the other two - no MV). I like a lot of their B-sides even more than the title tracks with MVs haha. I think you'll be really impressed with those three songs.n

BTS stands for BangTan Sonyeondan (Bulletproof Boyscouts) BTS sometimes release instrumental versions of their tracks - the Black Swan instrumental was done for Black Swan Art Film - Doo Piano also releases piano versions of BTS songs on RU-vid

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 OT7 FOREVER 🫰 🙏 Thanks 💜🫰

BTS is an acronym for (B)ang(T)an (S)onyeondan translated from Korean as BulletProof Boyscouts.

BTS 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🇦🇷 Argentina

Thank you so much for watching! Like you, most of us assumed they were artificially bolstered into stardom. Their actual story is inspiring.

Gracias por reaccionar a la guía bts es fabulosa Gracias a Tailor, quienes amamos a los chicos le agradecemos desde el alma, te cuento que bts con la ayuda a la lucha contra la depresión han ayudado a muchos me incluyo, gracias a ellos salí de mi mundo oscuro tengo 50 años y los últimos 7años estuve con depresión pero encontré a bts ,bueno se dice que ellos te encuentran en el momento presiso y gracias a Army también son muy comprensivas y apoyan las amo también. Bts es un mundo estos chicos tienen un talento grupal e individual son lindas personas siempre alentando con su hermosa frase “Ámate a ti mismo” gracias nuevamente. Por siempre ARMY🇨🇱

Love your reaction, it helps a lot to understand them a bit. Extra info about the boys, RM, he is leader because of his intelligence and ability to communicate effectively, also his English proficiency helps. By age he is right in the middle with Jin, Suga and Jhope being older. Suga is the second recruited, the original idea was to make a hip hop group Jhope was recruited for his dance skills. I heard once that he was intended to be a vocalist originally, but when Jin joined as the visual they said he could train to rap as well, but he struggled with that so Jhope swopped with him. Jin, joined as an actor and visual with no singing or dancing skills. Was racked with anxiety that he would let the others down who he saw as all being stars. He trained really hard to learn to sing (and dance) and we are all so glad he did because his voice is amazing. Also he used to drive JK to school which I think may be why they are so close. Jungkook, actually only 13 when he joined the company and moved to Seoul, and was 15 when they debuted. As the main vocalist he has a lot of responsibilities, making song guidez and recording most of the choruses often with layer upon layer of harmonies. V, not much else I know to add except that many people dont notice the fact he acted in Hwarang, a Kdrama, and had a significant part. That is how he became part of the actor friends group who call themselves the Wooga squad. Jimin, also main dancer, acts silly for the camera, but I think he is actually a very serious guy. You mentioned BlackSwan for choreo, many call that Jimin's song. His most iconic dance is actually in the 2019 MMA Awards show, which you really will enjoy watching, although it is quite long. All lovely, humble, hardworking people. One last addition, I believe the awards now number over 1000.!!!

BTS idol multitalented💜thanks for u reaction😊

very good reaction, I would love for you to react to the first episode of Rise on Bangtan if you want to know more about their story 🥺

💜️💜️💜️💜️💜️💜️💜️💜️💜️

😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🫰🏻 It is amazing what can happen when a culture supports the arts.

Borahea: From an Army Mom - aka West Indian Mother who discovered them in 2016 (three yrs after their S.Korean release). Long before their Wembly Concert or 'The General Public'....got to know them. We OG's were tracking/following them. The Night they appeared on The Ellen Show? Army were there. Not only seated in her audience but......thousands of us watched "In Real Time" and FLOODED HER WEBSITE. Ellen went on to say " The audience went WILD...for this 'Unknowned Group to 'Us' -but HAD WE KNOWN, back then? How half the world - ADORED THEM? Things would've been different. I guess..hindsight is 20/20. Had Ellen (done her RESEARCH) BTS were treated like a 'cute puppy circus, performing tricks'. Back then. Can't blame her at the time. She had NO IDEA HOW BIG.. BTS WOULD BLOW UP. And given her rep....with all her crew HATING her....at the time. BTS can look back on that famous night - like many of us BTS OG's today and understand that.. it is was (back then) a part of BTS's voyage in 'Murica. Although 'Some' of the episode is 'cringy af' ? In terms of Ellen - feeling she is better than. Their INTERVIEW with her.....will go down in History. She tried to patronize a 'S.Korean/KPop Group'. Never understood back then - nor cared - 'This Is About To Become The Greatest Group In The World.' Bar None. And to date - they are. Where is Ellen today? Nuff said. My spiel above is for a New Generation of Army or lover's of BTS . Do your research. Once you travel down that Rabbit Hole? Welcome aboard, Darlings ..to the largest FAMILY in the world. WE 💜 You.

Yes all the instrument in the video is bts songs 😊

Best concert ever was Wembley... we cried and lost our voices for days.. love watching people being introduced to BTS..

BangTan Sonyeondan Translated into English means Bulletproof BoyScouts. so Bangtan 7 or Bangtan Boys. They really live up to the name with all the hate they've received from the very beginning hate even now at super global mega stars they receive hate at every turn.

The fans singing to BTS was during their show at Wembley Stadium. You also need to watch BTS Hardships 2013-2021. This will give you a good understanding of why we ARMYs are so protective of BTS. They haven't had an easy road.

The first one that sang that you didn’t know is JungKook. His title is main vocalist. Jungkook the Main Vocalist of BTS” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oNsW2LdU8Zs.html He just won a sweep of the big awards for his debut single, “Seven”. He made history.

Thanks for reacting to this! It was a great reaction with authentic interest which is much much appreciated. We ARMY can tell the difference between authenticity and people looking for subscribers for other reasons. Good job. Glad to hopefully have you on board! Welcome. Borahae 💜

Enjoyed your reaction to the guide. I believe you’re now ready for BTS rabbit hole! 💜

Thank you for the reaction. Wembley was awesome because it shows how much BTS broke the language barrier with their ARMY singing in Korean

thank you. I would love for you to react to the Black Swan dance performance video performed by MN Dance company. It is where that lovely instrumental version came from. Thanks!

Basically the reason their marketing was so different (and now widely copied in KPop) is because they were largely locked out of the industry because they were nobodies from a tiny, broke company. They also received a lot of backlash for speaking truth to power and covering powerful subjects like socio-political, economic, mental health, current events etc while also drawing from the arts, history, literature, Korean and Hip Hop cultures, philosophy, psychological theory and more inspirations. They also were from a Hip Hop foundation musically and that also didn’t fit in KPop. They were told they didn’t fit as idols, but were also rejected by the K Hip Hop underground for being idols. They stood isolated and alone and they felt it. They basically broke all the rules and were at the bottom of the hierarchy in a very hierarchical country. They had to find alternative ways to reach fans so they got creative. They vlogged and made Bangtan Bombs (TikToks before TikTok existed.). They were mistreated on and not invited to tv variety shows, so they made their own. No network would carry their shows, so they streamed them online. They were mistreated by some online platforms so their company created their own platform for them, Weverse. Their alternative methods basically incidentally launched them onto a global platform right away, instead of focusing on S Korea, as the idol industry had mainly done in the past. Early on they were accused of somehow cheating their streaming and album sales numbers (though their company had no money and power to do that) because the S Korean public could not believe a small group from a small company was selling so well, and they didn’t see them on varsity shows, tv performance and live concerts in S Korea because they were ignored, mistreated or cut from shows. So the public was like: “Who the heck are these guys?? They can’t be selling this well if we don’t know who they are!” But it was their overseas fans driving the early streaming snd sales numbers. Something unheard of in KPop. When they went to the US to film the cringey but pivotal show American Hustle Life just a year after their debut, when they were still broke and struggling to scrape by in S Korea, there was a crowd to meet them at the airport and they were recognized on the street. The have continued to this day to take insane and massive amounts of organized hate, from the top of the industry with lockouts and chart manipulation against them and a complicit media largely either ignoring their achievements or slandering them……to the bottom, with fandoms teaming up to attack them. It’s a combination of things. One was being so good right out of the gate that they put the fear into the industry and it tried hard to block them. Rightly so, they were 100% correct to fear them and BTS has eclipsed them all now. They also broke the rules and spoke out against injustice and societal ills and their elders, and those in power didn’t like that. These kids were writing their own music (also highly usual in the industry) and putting their hearts and souls into issues they cared about. They also didn’t fit the male idol beauty standards and were denigrated as “the ugly idol group.” Basically the massive cyber bullying issue in KPop really started with them because they were the first with a massive online presence and they were so horribly and massively attacked. Any issue you can think of they have been attacked on it and accused of all manner of things. The company lawyers have been kept busy constantly dealing with litigation of slander, liable and cyber bullying, harassment and other cases. But they could not even start to address those things until they were making enough money to have a legal team so the first few years the guys just had to take it on the chin and try to weather the storm. It was rough. Hybe is entirely the house that BTS built.

The Wembley video is beautiful. A hundred thousand people in a foreign (to Korea) country singing their korean lyrics to them because it was supposed to be their "goodbye" song years ago. Thank god they decided not to break up

Hi from a UK Army! Great reaction, nice to see you delving deeper to get to know them. Once you get an idea of who they are you fall in love with them as people first and artists next. Everything else is icing on the cake! Taylor's is the first intro, I'd rec the rest too. Please do watch them all eventually as they will give you a different perspective of BTS and their history, one isn't enough to get the full picture.

Jungkook just dropped his solo song Seven ft Latto, have been nr 1 at Spotify for 7 days now

thank you for your reaction 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

When BTS started Big Hit only had 30 employees.

26:23 the name of all the songs were in the top left corner of the video

BTS is BangTan Soyandan Jin, J-hope and Suga are all older than RM. He's the maknae of the hyung line. Your video is a little off because you left a commercial in ☺ RM is very wise and an old soul.

Thank you so much for reacting this video 💜 I love how open minded you are Again thank you and keep safe always Borahae 💜💜

Thanks for checking out the boys! Welcome to Bangtan 💜

I really enjoy your honest reactions to BTS. You just got another subscriber . BORAHAE ! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜Another BTS video you should react to is "THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LIFE GOES ON A BTS STORY 2023 UPDATE". BY RICE SQUAD It's amazing put together.

The absolute BEST version I've come across of the Wembley/"Young Forever" experience: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4WP6YElUzcI.html Excuse me...I'm going to go off and cry now. (This song meant a lot to them...and especially to Jimin - my Ult. - so much so that Jimin actually has tattoos of it. On the backs of his arms, he has "Young" just above his left elbow and then "Forever" just above his right).

Helpful hint for the guide: Not sure if you know.... Korean people count age differently to others... Korean Age vs International Age - difference is 1-2 years depending on if their birthday has been.... In most videos, including the guide, they are giving Korean ages so you will need to adjust. The members were only 13-18 years old when they became trainees and 15-20 yo when they debuted. In Korea when you are born you are considered 1 year old. Then on 01 Jan every year you add another year to your age, no matter what your birthdate is. .... Year of birth - International age at Debut on 13June13 (Year and age became trainee) Jin 1992 - 20 yo (2011 - 18yo) Suga 1993- 20 yo (2011 - 17yo) Suga started with MIDI at 11 JHope 1994 - 19 yo (2011 - 17yo)JHope started dancing at 8 RM 1994 - 18 yo (2010 - 15yo) RM was well known in the underground scene at 13 Jimin 1995 - 17 yo (2012 - 16yo) V 1995 - 17 yo (2011 - 15yo) JK 1997 - 15 yo (2011 - 13yo) JK left home at 13 to move into the dorm with BTS Rule of thumb - if it's before their birthday - subtract 2 years to get international age. if it's after their birthday - subtract 1 year to get their international age. EG: TaeHyung (V) born 30 Dec 1995 ...... current International Age 27 (Korean Age 29). ... 2 years difference So Tae born 30 Dec 95 is 1 year old, then on 01 Jan 96 he is 1 more year older (so they would say he is 2 years old, when we would say he is 2 days old.) So he was considered 29 in Korea since 01 January, we would say he is 27 turning 28 in Dec. It's a different way of looking at age, from new years day - Tae is living his 29th year (since conception) - instead of - he turned 27 (since birth).... The Korean Government has recently brought in international age as the standard in Korea, but all older videos/ interviews/ shows, will be referencing Korean age. 💜Have a great day

I recommend ON Kinetic Manifesto Film 💜

Correct me if I'm wrong but the accent and using the word lads, Irish?
