NON K-POP FAN REACTS TO BTS For The FIRST TIME! | BTS (방탄소년단) 'MIC Drop' Official MV REACTION 

Which KPOP artists should we check out next? 🗯️ Should we check out more BTS songs? 🗯️

Mic Drop was a clap back at all the people who bullied them when they were industry underdogs starting back in 2013.

46 years old metal head from Finland here. Never thought I would fell so deep into this Bts rabbithole. But all their songs are different and they have solosongs and smaller unit songs as well as rapline songs and vocal line songs. Never a dull moment with Bts songs. And on top of that they are soooo funny and genuine 💜

Since you’re a metalhead I recommend their songs “RUN BTS” “Dionysus” “Come Back Home” “danger” “fake love (rock mix)”

these guys aren't kids now they are RM is 29, Suga is 31, hope is 30, jin is 31, Jungkook is 26, V is 28 and Jimin is also 28.

I'm a 78 year old ARMY (their fandom name) from the US. They are precious, humble, and kind-hearted in addition to being great artists. Once you enter the rabbit hole that is known as the BTS Universe you will understand how truly remarkable they are. They are our Forever7 and we're all waiting for their return from military service in 2025...

Whoever turned you on to these guys really did you a solid! Brace yourself, your life is about to change for the better! 💜

I've seen a lot of reactors tackling BTS but I'm impressed by your ability to keep up with the lyrics, choreo, fashion etc all at once!

Hi, 51 year old ARMY (BTS fandom name) from UK. I grew up as a rock and metalhead. BTS found me in Sept 2020 and I cannot believe how amazing they are. Apart from their 3 fully English songs (Dynamite, Butter and Permission to Dance) their songs have deep, meaningful lyrics. They all write, compose and produce. They all have very diiferent styles, all equally talented, but together are out of this world. Their videos are really detailed, every little thing means something. Their company (Big Hit Entertainment, now Hybe) was very small when they started, and the successful groups only came from the 3 biggest companies. Those companies have a lot of money to pay for airtime to promote their groups through the media. So BTS were constantly told they would fail. RM, the leader of BTS (like a sports team captain role) saw Obama's mic drop speech and it inspired this song. BTS have faced a huge amount of hate and still do. Everything they do and say is picked apart , hence the interrogation room scene, all the cameras, and mics. The people wearing black hoodies are their haters. They felt like they were constantly interrogated and people try to label them as a specific box, similar to being imprisoned. There is a scene where RM says "Mic Drop, Bam" and finger gun shoots, all the hooded figures drop as if killed. The explosion scene you noticed things in the sky but did you notice they were burning bodies. They roast their haters with their savage words on the mic. I love it when they are savage. Watch the Cyphers Parts 1 to 4. If you like rock i think you would like their song Fake Love and their "Yet to Come" concert on Busan 2022. They open with Mic Drop. If you watch live performances, I would check the channel, Enjoy BTS More. She has really high quality videos with accurate English subs. Live, they are even better and they do all the choreo while singing/rapping, no lip synching. If the choreo is too hard for them to sing at the same time they let the backing track take over but don't pretend to be singing. ARMY know they are authentic. Please enjoy the journey diwn the rabbit hole. You will not be disappointed. Subscribing and waiting for more BTS. Borahae 💜

These guys all 7 are so humble and super sweet as well. This is a clap back to all the haters who have been hating on them for years since they started. They debuted in 2013.

The bag currently contains about 1,000 trophies/awards. The concert version of Mic Drop is more rock than EDM. This video is from 2017, so they were in their early to mid 20s. Two of them are now 31 and the youngest is 26. They’re all currently doing their mandatory military service (one in civil service because of an old shoulder injury). We need to give you some BTS whiplash, for a taste of just how diverse and deep they are, so check out Black Swan, ON Kinetic Manifesto, Festa Room Live 2021 (a medley), The Truth Untold, House of Cards, Danger, I Need U, and Idol. This barely scratches the surface and doesn’t even touch on their equally impressive solo work. Their discography is huge, diverse and has literally NO ‘fillers’. They are incredible live. I’m a 66 year old Brit. I started listening to music when the Beatles were still together and grew up on rock and indie music. I’ve never felt such a connection with a music group as I do with BTS. They’re delightful, intelligent, supremely talented and humble human beings.

Lol...."these kids" are in their late 20's and early 30's. The youngest member is actually turning 27 this year in September. They're all currently serving their mandatory military service and we miss them so much right now!! 😭💜

This song is from 2017...it is a direct message for the group's haters...I recommend "black swan", a masterpiece...Welcome to the BTS world

Most awarded Kpop group ever and only one to have broken into the global stage. They have over 1,000 awards now, 12 Billboard awards 6 billboard Number 1's, 5 Grammy nominations, 31 Guinness World Records all without US Radio play. Are in the Rolling Stones Hall of Frame

I'm in my early 60s and just recently discovered BTS in the last year. They are most definitely not a stereotypical boy band, which is why I am now a massive fan (Army). What I love is that their music covers so many genres, they produce and write their own stuff and their lyrics are meaningful; they write about social injustice, mental health, societal expectations etc. There are 3 rappers, 4 vocal line and they are all great dancers; they even have members who have backgrounds in street and contemporary dance. Some suggestions to watch to get an understanding of the breadth of their skills and the music they produce are: Black Swan; On Kinetic Manifesto; Fake Love; Blood Sweat & Tears; Dope; Baepsae (Silver Spoon); Save Me. There are so many more, but also watch some of the live performances like MMAs 2019 and MMAs 2018. If you want to get more of an understanding of who they are, there are videos made by Army about them and how they formed etc. I think Taylor Mari or xCeleste have both made great information videos about them, which are extremely interesting and provide more understanding and depth.

67 yr old retired lady, new fan. My 32 yr old daughter is Army. There is a video on the shooting of mic drop that is really interesting.

I am not really a huge Kpop fan.. i just love BTS 💜 I will gladly follow you along the BTS and solo work journey!

45 year old fan here -- I initially resisted listening to these guys five years ago because I figured they were fluff, but I was SO wrong. After falling into their rabbit hole, I've checked out out other groups, but none do it for me like they do. Probably because BTS were the game-changers in the kpop world. They upended what fans could expect from artists and they upended when artists could expect from their companies (read, better treatment than the slave contracts many kpop idols operate under). Above all else, they upped the game by simply being authentic and honest. There is a joke now with younger groups coming up that BTS set the standards too high and it is exhausting to even think about trying to replicate. For the next song, maybe check out Fake Love. It's part of their story line, so some of the imagery might not make sense, but it is pretty visually stunning made with practical stunts -- just like the explosion in Mic Drop.

I haven't watched it yet but I am excited already. It's rare to find real K-Pop newbies on RU-vid these days hahaha

I subbed SO FAST. I’m a 34yo married mom of two and a HUGE bts fan and K-pop listener! I see tons of reactions and I love to watch them on my downtime but I also really like seeing “older” ppl start to listen and enjoy them as well. Bts fans are super diverse, but I often see a lot of super young kids and it’s harder to relate so I love seeing more “adults” enjoy them!

BTS are uncontested kings. Their heavy involvement in the creation of their own music has resulted in a very eclectic mix of genres, sounds, concepts, and lyrics that resonate deeper because it's coming from them and not songwriters you never see. That said, they have their share of songs that were outsourced (their full English songs) that have merit as lighthearted bops. If you like rock, you might enjoy "Run BTS" (a title easily confused with their variety show by the same name and an earlier song in their discography just called Run. I swear they did that on purpose just to mess with people), "Dionysus", "Fake Love" (rock remix, which also has its own MV). Many of their live performances actually change the original instrumental to something more rock-based, so even their non-rock songs have rock versions. I personally fell in love with their dancing first, back in 2016. I'd never seen a "boyband" dance like that and I thought they were a dance group doing a cover to someone else's song. "Save Me" was the first song I heard/watched, stumbling across it on RU-vid. It's a one-take MV and the behind the scenes footage is very fun to watch too. Then "Blood, Sweat, and Tears", and I wished I was back in college so I could find an excuse to write a paper deconstructing and analyzing the themes and concepts behind the MV and lyrics and the book its based on. The only music I listened to prior to BTS was 90s rock growing up, whatever someone had on their car radio, or whatever I heard on TV. I was definitely not a music person. I knew of the most famous western artists like Beyonce because of social media and such, but I never sought out anyone's music on my own. BTS was genuinely the very first time I actively sought out music, rather than passively consuming whatever pop culture put in front of me. I never understood why people made playlists until BTS. Fans are eagerly awaiting the completion of their military service. BTS prepared songs and content for fans ahead of time, and have been steadily releasing despite their absence from the public eye. If you explore more of BTS, you will not be disappointed. There are also other amazingly talented kpop groups. (G)-Idle, Mamamoo, Ateez, TXT.

나는 한국인으로서 케이팝 산업에 익숙한 사람이지만 아이돌을 좋아하지 않았다. 시끄럽고 의미없는 가사들로 이루어진 음악이라고 생각했고, 단지 외적으로 뛰어난 상품이라고 생각했었다. 방탄소년단에게도 관심이 없었는데 18년도 즈음 우연히 유튜브 알고리즘에 떠서 본걸 계기로 지금까지 왔다... 나는 어떤것에 잘 빠지지도 못하고 쉽게 질려하는 성향인데 방탄소년단은 질리지가 않는다. 맙소사,내가 어쩌다 이렇게 되었지? 생각한다. 잔잔한 음악만 선호했었는데 bts가 내 음악적 취향까지 다 바꿔버렸어....

They are no longer kids. The members are already in their mid and late 20's and early 30's. Check out BTS Black Swan, Fake Love, ON Kinetic Manifesto, BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS, FIRE, IDOL, DNA. These 7 amazing artists also have their solo work. They are all serving the military and will be back as a group in 2025.

You gotta check out the dance practice to this song it's mind blowing 🤯

BTS is not the traditional K-pop group, they are outside of being traditional, they are on another level that is why they are the best 😊💜

Mic Drop is a good introduction to BTS, but don't assume all their songs are like this, they've explored so many genres through the years, I think you'll enjoy the ride. They also have solo songs in their albums as well as rapline songs and vocal line songs (there are 3 rappers and 4 vocalists). Aaaalso, they have released solo music on their own outside of BTS if you want to check them out later on, each one of them has developed their own style and taste in music. I suggest you check out Black Swan, ON (Kinetic Manifesto) and Fake Love just to give you a broader sense of their many faces.

MIC Drop is from 2015. They were already making waves, but they really were kids. I am 71, and I've watched their growth since 2016. They are once in a generation. I encourage you to explore all of their genres.

I'm also a metalhead and BTS has made me believe with incredible talent, comes great music & great performance. MY PERSONAL OPINION: I think a majority of KPOP is bubble gum. It's fun, and even BTS has produced some bubblegum songs. If korean groups aren't doing KPOP, they're doing their best to be like, or to copy BTS. The business is trying so hard, to be the next BTS. It's fascinating to watch. 7 BTS members, with so much individual talent, in this one group. BTS writes and produces a good majority of their own music. Before BTS, the BIG 3 Music companies controlled all aspects of a KPOP groups career. The reason why BTS wrote most of their own music from the beginning. There were several powers at work. 1. Bang, the head of Big Hit, wanted them to express themselves, without outside influences. BANG also helped write & produce first songs) 2. The Company that BTS had signed up with, was in financial trouble and there was no money for songwriters. Bang, put together 7 people who; (several BTS members could already write & produce) the others could or learn to write & produce. They could Sing, Dance, Rap. They play guitar & Piano. They have members who can play saxophone, trumpet & violin, drums. Now, they can do this all, plus more. I hope you will continue to watch BTS. If you need any advice, ARMY will point you in the right direction.

0:28 Well, my first K-pop group was BTS and although I have checked out other groups I didn't find the same depth and feeling of authenticity in any of them. I mean, their song Epiphany live *very literally* saved my life! 🥺 And yes, they're very much personally involved with their music, both as soloists and within the group. Plus they don't stick to a specific genre but do anything from neo-soul to Latin pop to rock to battle-style rap so there's always something to fit any mood. BTS often writes about very serious issues like mental health problems, socioeconomic issues and personal development. They'll use imagery from Jungian psychology, Greek mythology, astronomy, the Bible, classical literature and even marine biology to illustrate a subject. I've been around since the 1970s and I've honestly never come across a group of this lyrical calibre before. You just happened to choose one of their diss tracks. 😎 They're the perfect underdog story and they've definitely earned the right to make diss tracks. They came from a tiny, financially struggling agency and fought their way to the absolute top despite ridicule, threats, sabotage, racism and just about any other hardships you can think of. Despite all of that they're still some of the most down to earth, caring, giving and funniest people ever. They've cultivated a fandom that's loyal, protective and philanthropic and spans all ages 1-99, genders, nationalities, faiths and social and musical backgrounds; a fandom of almost 15 million official fanclub members (including me 😁) and many millions more non-members. For a bit of size context: BTS IS 0.4% of the South Korean GDP, one concert of theirs brought as many foreigners to the country as the entire Olympics did and they alone are the size of the 10 next-biggest kpop groups combined! And seing as you're a Brit: They sold out Wembley Stadium in 1.5 hours - two days in a row! 🤯 Now, if you want to take a look at BTS and K-pop I want to give you a few hopefully helpful tips: *For BTS:* - If you want subtitles on their older songs you need to get them from the RU-vid channel *1theK.* It wasn't until later they started their current channels and they didn't bother putting subtitles on the oldest stuff. It's just as safe and legit to react to. - Always assume they did it IRL. They only ever use green screen in their MVs if it can't be built. - Lyrics are very important when it comes to BTS. A great way to fully understand them (especially for us westerners 😅) is the fandom go-to site Doolsetbangtan where they include short cultural and/or contextual notes where needed. - The best guide to the group IMO is Taylor Mari's Intro To BTS: The Bangtan 7. Combine it with xCeleste's video BTS Hardships 2013-2021 to get the full picture. 😢 - A good channel for live content with eng subs is Enjoy BTS More. - For great video essays on their problems with the music industry go to the channel Boracity Magazine. Also great but infuriating insight into the music industry as a whole. - We as a fandom have a problem with antis/haters claiming to be ARMYs and trying to discredit BTS and ARMY by behaving horribly, especially toward K-pop newcomers to deter them from reacting to BTS. Every fandom inevitably has a few rotten apples and ARMY is no exception but it's something to please keep in mind... 🥺 *For K-pop in general:* - Don't liken/compare groups to each other or western artists; their fandoms won't like it. ("Oh, so they're like the Korean Backstreet Boys." etc. 💀) - Honest critique is totally welcome as long as it's respectful. - Don't try to recognise anyone by their hair colours; they change constantly! 😅 Just accept that no matter the group, it'll take some time to know who's who. Especially since some groups have a lot of members. - All groups have their own light stick (BTS's is called an ARMY Bomb). At concerts they're synced to your seat number via Bluetooth and they can then make giant words, symbols and light shows all across the venue. - Some groups have a lore or fictional storyline that runs through their songs/MVs so you might find the imagery confusing. It'll usually say so in the MV's description text (for BTS for example it'll say BU (Bangtan Universe) Content) if that's the case. - Ask if you're in doubt about anything. The respective fandoms are more than happy to tell you what you want to know (and then some 😂). *Some groups I'd personally recommend besides BTS* are TXT (0X1=Lovesong, Good Boy Gone Bad and Sugar Rush Ride), female soloist IU (Love Wins All), Stray Kids (God's Menu) and Mamamoo (Dècalcomanie). *Last but not least:* Welcome to the wonderful world of K-pop. It's a lot to take in at first but totally worth it. Do things at your own pace, have fun with it and sorry for the long rant. 👋😅 ~ a Danish ARMY, age 48 💜 (Btw, ARMY is an acronym for Adorable Representatives MC for Youth. Doesn't sound quite as daunting now, does it?! 😉)

Welcome to the rabbit hole. Once you start with BTS you will not stop. A 55 years young Army from Brazil

My first kpop group I listened to was Big Bang. They where the big group before BTS debut. They where the Kings of Kpop before Exo and BTS. I really started following BTS in 2015 during their Dark&Wild album. I honestly people should watch BTS from their debut to now. It shows how much they have grown and changed their styles through the years. If you haven't watched them yet, you should get out the fan-made Doc called The Rise of Bangtan. BTS write, produce and compose basically all their own music.

You are going to be surprised every song from BTS and also their solo projects. BTS has all genres of songs. A very proud Army, 55 years young from Brazil.

2:52 they are the most humble, down to earth artists and people overall i've known of tbh, this song and the rest of their "diss tracks" are in response to the insane amount of backlash and hate they've had to suffer through the years from the public, their peers, their seniors, the industry... boy these guys have gone through a lot. Makes me happy when they flex a bit like yes baby you're korea's most awarded act in all time go tell them off a bit you deserve it

Hello! Fellow metalhead here. BTS are legends for a reason. This song is obviously a flex to the haters. I'm glad you liked it, it's a BANGER! They have many MANY different genres under their belts. The group has 3 rappers and 4 vocalists. Each member has their own body of solo work as well. Please dive in and take a look. Their catalogue is VAST! The youngest member is 26 and the oldest is 31 so they aren't kids anymore. This video is from 7 years ago. BTS has been around since 2013 and started originally as hip-hop group and have evolved their style over the years. They write 98% of their songs and they all produce as well. SUGA has even won awards for producing songs for other artists. They are one of the most awarded artists of all time. And when you dive in, you will see why. :) Looking forward to following your journey!

When this song came out in 2017 I discovered Kpop and became a fan of BTS. I haven’t looked back since lol

They are the most humble human beings you'll ever know. They are self made artists and they produce their own songs You should check Dionysus/Dope/No more Dream/Fake Love/RUN BTS/I need U/Black Swan/Blood Sweat and Tears/Fire/RUN/Spring day/Idol/Life Goes ON/Cyper pt.1,2,3,4

I saw them in Stade the France, Paris. Before the concert even started the crowd was singing Mic Drop (the video was playing) IN KOREAN. Unforgettable…

Seeing as you're an anime guy...TXT, a younger K-pop group from the same company as BTS sang the opening to Solo Leveling. The song was composed by Hiroyuki Sawano who did a lot of the Attack on Titan songs.

I just checked out your reaction to "ON"you are going to have such a good time checking out the vast variety of musicality and music they have. For a beautiful song by the four main vocalists check out the "Truth Untold" Live their voices are so beautiful. Or if you want to check out the rap line of BTS I highly recommend "Outro Tear" Live absolutely amazing. And my other recommendations would be "Black Swan" and definitely "Fake Love" I'm definitely here for it BTS Are a phenomenal group you will see as you delve deeper the many layers they have to their music and dance. They've been together so long they're like a brotherhood. Thank you sure appreciated your reaction!

That’s DJ Steve Aoki. I found a pin on Etsy that says mic drop and it’s a bag with a few of their trophies sticking out. This was, and still is, one of my fav songs of theirs. I love songs that are just a middle finger to people, cause that’s what this is.

welcome to the Bangtan rabbit hole. Put on your seatbelt, it's gonna be a bumpy ride. Full of great music, art, dancing, comedy, and display of love. BTS single-handedly continues to destroy the toxic masculinity we've seen for a long time. Trust me when I say "Expect the Unexpected" PS. New subscriber here, I am ARMY (BTS fandom) since 2019.

I never thought of the transitions being part of the choreography! Cool take. Great reaction!

Mic Drop was my first KPop song, so great choice. I've been following BTS for a few years now, love them and the Army

The first mv I watched of kpop was Boy In Luv by BTS, just a few minutes before New Year's Eve (between 2016 and 2017). Literally the best recommendation fate could have thrown my way, if I remember correctly I think it popped up on my screen, while on RU-vid, as a recommendation.

They were quite young. We were all in our early twenties JK was in his late teens. This song got me into the group and been a army since

You just met 7 absolute kings! You could check Black Swan, Fake Love or On. I'd love I Need U, Fire and Spring Day as well. You could also check live performances. The 2021 Festa Room Live is a medley of songs which could give you an idea of their range and talent. There's also the live performance of Magic Shop that really great 💜

Just found your channel. Thank you so much for giving them a chance and I hope you don't feel extremely overwhelmed by all the love, requests or any undeserved hate your way. Cant wait to catch up and follow your journey.

Fun fact Icame into KPOP trough a korean girl dance cover group and the song was Number Nine by T-ara and from this I came into BTS. I was first completly into BTS but then I started to listen to multiple Groups but over the years I stil love BTs, Blackpink and G-Idle. My Favorite group is G-Idle and the song Tomboy from them.

Bts Danger I think you'll like it's incredible and got rock and metal sound to it also Steve Aoki is a world wide know EDM DJ.

They got a lot of hate from the local HipHop/Rap for becoming idols. They picked on some of their looks not being handsome enough. Big Hit (now Hybe) was much smaller at the time, so they would be bumped from performances on local shows. This was in reply to all of that. The first version had more Korean in it. The gentleman working the board is Steve Aoki, he is a DJ and music producer, he produced the remix. I am 68 and I became a fan in 2021. I was able to see the full group in 2022, and saw AgustD/Suga's concert last year. They have music in every genre. I recommend watch Festa Room 2021. they do snippets of songs from each of their albums. It gives you an idea of their music and their progression. If you have Prime watch the Busan concert. They also write most of their songs, so they have songs that touch on mental illness, prejudice (racial and LGTBQ+), loving yourself, working in the music industry and some just bangers. They also have a song about 52 htz whale and one about Pluto. I watch 2 other metal heads reactions, and both are fans now. They have spoken at the UN and even performed a song there. Worked with Unicef on the Love Myself campaign. And if you watch any interviews, while they acknowledge their stardom, they are humble, fun, down to earth guys. Welcome aboard!

I just found your channel and I love when reacters ask, "Let me know what other songs ...". 😂😂😂 😉Pick a card, any card ... 💜

Super humble. Unfortunately they had so many haters, and this song was the response. They were accused of auto tune, and this was the one of the best songs. JK once wore a shirt that said "I need more haters, the old ones are starting to like me" 😅. You should watch them do their songs live, perfect choreography while singing, it's out of this world. 💜

I think that you should check out Kingdom Legendary War. Particularly the song Love Poem sung by three lead singers from different groups.

There's so much more in store.. You can definitely find something for your personal taste! I like all genre of music and you can pick different styles. Bubbly/happy vibe: Dynamite, butter, Dimple, Strong/energy charging vibe: On - kinetic manifesto, Not today, Run, Dope, FIRE, IDOL, Sassy/salt: this one, Cipher1-4, Outro: Tear, Bapsae.. The rap line roasted the haters!!! Thoughtful/teary: I need you, Save me, Fake love, Spring day, Let go, Your eyes tell Artistic: Blood sweat and tear, Butterfly, Black swan Nostalgic and real : Young forever, Bulletproof the eternal, Yet to come, Take two Magic and lovely to ARMY: 1-2-3, Magic shop There's more, bu I feel like I'm going over board!

In the video, it's a press conference but they're inside an interrogation cell. They transition to a prison then at the end they break out. Basically BTS used to get a lot of hate, they were often accused of many things, and people wanted them to stay in the kpop "box". This song was their goodbye to their haters because they succeeded against all the allegations of them being nobodies who couldn't amount to anything.

Man..i used to watch your naruto reactions. Great to be back. BTS is legendary

Their ages in this music video ranged from 20- 24 (since this music video was from over 6 years ago), but currently their ages range from 26- 31. BTS has been a group for over 10 years now and they have over 300 songs covering a variety of genres and subject matter. Honestly the kpop category is just too limiting of a title for them. Right now all 7 members of BTS are fulfilling their mandatory military service in South Korea (military service is mandatory for all able bodied men in South Korea for a minimum of 18 months, yes even male celebrities have to serve). 2 members of BTS get discharged this year and the other 5 members will be discharged in June 2025. But before they enlisted they all released solo albums (except for Jin) who will probably release his album later this year. And we are actually still getting new music even with them in the military, they keep us well fed.

Happy to see, that OT7 made someone come over to the purple side 💜 My Mother (74 yrs) is an Army and made me (49 yrs) an Army too. If you really would like to get to know our boys more, you should watch "A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7". Have fun

This is one big FU to their haters. Before this mv came out, BTS had been getting a lot of hate from the hard core rap community in Korea. BTS started as a hard core rap group, then expanded their range to include pop songs, which is when they blew up. But the Korean rap community felt BTS sold out and turned their backs on the rap culture and began publicly attacking BTS.

you would love the song fake love by them, well honestly they have crazy discography. just dive in slowly you will surely love it 🥰🥰

Hey fellow Whovian! I loved your reaction, I have a feel you'll love BTS! I recommend the music "Black Swan" from them, it's my favorite!

Love the reaction. BTS are global for a reason & very talented artist in and out of the group!!

They write the music and lyrics most of the time

When they sing live they are also impressive

Yes they write their songs 😁😁😁

Ironically, Mic Drop was my entry song into BTS. Welcome to the ARMY. You're in it now. There are so many to check out. Fire, Mic Drop live, Dimple, Run, Run BTS, Fake Love, Spring Day, Ugh, the Cyphers etc. Forever young, plus their solo work...its truly a rabbit hole.

I loved your reaction!!! Some suggestions for future videos: Fake Love, Black Swan, On, Not today, Bloond Sweet & Tears, Fire, Permission to dance, Butter, Idol, Run, I Need you, Danger, Dope, Boy with luv, Mic Drop (Group songs) Like Crazy (Jimin), Standing next to you (Jungkook), Love me again (V- Taehyung), More (Jhope) Haegeun (Suga), The Astronaut (Jin) e Still life (RM)

I’m not K-pop fans only stand BTS ..just watch you reactions to they song On and love it both ..can’t wait for the next reaction to our 7 precious kings .thank you 💜

wow this was pleasantly surprising! im so used to people reacting to kpop for the first time and either being super disinterested and bored, or overreacting for views, and it's so cool that you can keep up with the lyrics and videos too!

They would’ve been 19-24ish in this video, but they’re 26-31ish now. They’ve always been involved in the making their music, and it’s exceedingly rare that none of them have credits on a song, especially because the 3 rappers always write their raps. The 4 vocalists have also gotten more involved in composing, producing, and writing as time has gone on as well. I recommend you check out BTS Black Swan!

At the time of the filming of this mv they ranged in age from 20 to 25.

You'll love the Run BTS dance practice video!

I am so glad you have come across BTS and you seem to have liked "Mic Drop". I liked the reasons you gave as to why you like this music video, and why you like the artistes thereof. There are immensely more songs you could react to. Am sure ARMY- that's what BTS fans are called - will share a whole list of songs for your information and reaction. Look forward to more from you. Take care!

your reactions are amazing, your feeback and the things you notice and pay attention too :)

I almost laughed out when he called them kids😂😂 at night but can't because i have sore throat

Always have subtitles on & pause a bit at the end as just when you think the video is over it's not. Most BTS songs have deep meanings & some link together. BTS members are all multi-talented, yet remain humble. They absolutely love their fans (called ARMY), who are ALL ages, ranging from 5-90 in our family! They aren't one genre, they cover multiple genres. BTS consists of 3 rappers & 4 vocalists. They're singing & dancing are always on point. Keep going down the BTS rabbit hole, you will NEVER regret it.

RM (BTS's leader) said about this song - 'Based on what I read or what fans told us “when people criticize you guys without a reason and make fun of you, what should I do?” Our fans told us such things a lot. I think I have to listen to criticism more carefully but when people behave rude and threaten others - you can think of “MIC DROP” in that case.' They are extremely humble but they have received a lot of unreasonable hate over the years. This song is more than a clap-back at haters. It is their support to fans who felt upset and helpless about all that hate.

They do write and produce their own music, just FYI. And yea.. Thanks so much for your reaction! Hope you grow to love them like we do.. Borahae

This song is from 2017. BTS was only 4 years old and not huge yet but starting to get there.

Being an Army💜 is such a flex🥰💗

A great contrast to Mic Drop that will give you an idea of the depth of their artistry and range is Black Swan. I think Mic Drop & Black Swan set of starter bookends that show how much they have to offer and that they can’t be defined by boxes or labels. They have poppy, boppy songs and they are great. They have hard hitting songs, political songs, Jungian philosophy inspired songs and even three English songs they gifted the world with during COVID to keep hope & happiness alive. There’s a great collab with Coldplay and so much incredible solo work. They have behind the scenes for most videos, tv shows (Run BTS) from Korea, live concert and award show performances. It’s a deep, deep well full of fun, surprises, hard work, talent, determination and a lot more intelligence (both emotional and intellectual) than people expect from a group (not a boy band, a tight group of talented writers & musicians). A song like Spring Day and what inspired it is emotional, beautiful and one of those surprises we find when we’re new that show us just how deep and committed these sometimes goofy and always fun seven truly are.

I subbed fast after stumbling upon a new reactor to BTS!! (especially one who looks around the same age as me.) I've been an Army for about 3 years now and cannot recommend the BTS rabbit hole enough. Their discography as a band as so expansive and impressive. They cover so many genres and are so much more than "kpop". And then there are also the solo projects that are really great as well. I'd recommend watching some introductory videos to learn about the group. Buckle up, bc discovering BTS and really immersing yourself is a fantastic experience. Army will be right here to go along with you on your journey and try to help guide you as much as possible. Since most of BTS are doing their mandatory service enlistment until 2025 this is how we keep going in the interim, just watching new reactions to the music we love. It's what we NEED!! Anyhoo, great reaction to Mic Drop! I'm now off to watch your next one, and the next...

You should listen to " Danger", " Fire " "Dope", they are phenomenal, and I am 77 years old, I love 'em. They are all doing military service now, back together in 2025.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

The basic recommendation to watch more BTS are: Black Swan, ON: Kinetic Manifesto Come Prima, Spring Day, BTS Tiny Desk, FESTA Room Live. You'll see how diverse their musical genre is, so they are not just "Kpop" or your usual type of "boyband". Just a fun fact: Spring Day has never left the chart since it's release (7 yrs ago), and it will go up with every new BTS releases. Our queen. You'll be even more amazed if you listen to each member's solo projects, because they are so different from each other. And each broke the charts with their solo projects, as well as a group. So when they are together, it's a total powerhouse. And in real life, their strong and loving brotherhood is very lovely to watch. These guys are amazing human beings. 👍💜

As of today they range from the youngest Jungkook at 26year old to the oldest Jin who will be 32 this year. They debuted in 2013

Hi, I am back. Good reaction. ty. They are 26yo-31yo. The youngest will be 27 this year and the oldest will be 31 in Dec. Mic Drop: It's a slap in the face for their haters by saying they're at a point where it doesn't matter what you say because your words don't matter anymore. It's also a flex song by pointing out how many trophies they have because at this point they'd need a U-Haul to get them all. Just for an example, in Korea there are weekly music shows by various stations and the winner gets a trophy. Dynamite has 36 (I think) award show wins and that's without any promotion on their end. Fun fact: Mic Drop was inspired by President Obama's mic drop when he left office. =0] They added a dance break to this choreo. There is a practice video for that. And they have performed this song with the new choreo for a while now. I saw another live with it. It is a perfect addition to the original choreo though they just made it harder as usual. =0p So glad u loved this song like I do. Jhope starts us off. He is the 3rd rapper in the group. Hugs. Stay safe. Love u both! -NY USA 2019 Army💟 Imajin all the purple said on 2/17/22 - Fun fact: When Suga drops the mic live it's an extra fake mic and Jin taps his mic for the sound. 🤭 - This is from the famously fandom-nicknamed "Dior performance". Their outfits were specially created for each of them for this tour by one of Dior's youngest, hippest designers, Kim Jones who really likes them. - I can't wait for you to dive further into the rap line... Mic Drop is sort of the 5th Cypher which is why they say "the last farewell". They were just done with addressing the haters. 😏😎 - The Dior Performance of Outro: Tear is a rap line must. The song is from when they thought about disbanding and their emotions really show. 💔 @ChocoCastle06 said on 6/6/23 fun fact, in some live performances, SUGA drops a fake mic(bc it would be crazy to drop their customized mic actually) and Jin hits his mic to create the sound of a mic dropping. @dahliapatricia750 said on 6/6/23 The mic drop song has 6 versions 1st version (Korean version Original) 2nd version (Japanese Version) 3rd version (ft. Designer) 4rd version (Mama music award remix) 5th version (ft. Steve Aoki) more Eng 6th version (TINY TAN)

Kim Namjoon, the leader of the group, composed most of the group's poems and songs, almost all the songs are composed by the members themselves, and the famous director of the company, Mr. Pdog

Great reaction! Love your take. 💜💜💜 I would def watch more of your reactions. I strongly recommend On (the kinetic maifesto version), Black Swan, and Run BTS (the song, not the reality series, and "Run BTS" not "Run" 😂 )

Gotta check out more from BTS they're songs are amazing I recommend airplane pt 2

There is another version of this song which has an amazing dance break so I think you should check that out.

Thank you for your reaction. I listened 🎉 BTS is a great band. They are really talented, as they are not children. Haha, but their shapes are Young🤝🏻 I really love them I hope you continue to follow them especially the live performance it is very good!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

They are some of the most humble people in their fame. They received so much hate from so many in the industry and many of their songs are to answer that hate. They came so far in their career and still appreciate their fans so much that they will work themselves to the bone as a thank you. They give their all in every aspect of their careers. They are truly inspirational. k-pop is big on choreography! They

BTS Mic Drop 🎵

Good to see a UK reactor reacting to BTS. You said who hasn't heard of them- lots of people in the UK are still living under that rock! They have a massive discography having been together for over 10 years, with a huge range of genres. i would recommend reacting to some live performances like BTS Festa Room Live for an intro to various styles. Also the first two songs at the beginning of their last full concert (YTC) in Busan where they opened the show with Mic Drop and performed Run BTS for the first time ever.

I was a metalhead as well & loved punk , pop punk, & alt music, & my 1st concert was ratt & bon jovi & motley crue was my 2nd concert. Also saw BTS in concert in 2021 as well, & let me tell you BTS put western artists to shame on stage, and most other ways for that matter lol 😂 My 1st kpop song was probably stuff no one really knows lol...my late husband & i lived in korea from 93-94, & kpop was only invented in 1992. I'd club a lot so id hear kpop songs i didnt know the name of but really liked a lot of the groups like seo taiji, roora & lesser known groups. I mostly forgot about kpop for decades after we came back state side. The next song i heard was bang bang bang by the group big bang, though i never looked into them or looked up other songs of theirs. Now I like a lot of kpop but because i really care about meaningful lyrics, BTS is my ultimate, all time fave group. Back in 2018 a BTS song called idol was on my late husband's recommended on RU-vid & because we lived there he thought id be interested. Man if you continue your BTS journey and you watch that mv, imagine if that was your introduction to them 😂 theres a lot going on in that mv and it was actually too overstimulating for me at 1st. But i kept going back to it. Then a bunch of other songs by them started being recommended and i fell hard. Theyre an amazing group and i subbed hoping youll continue to explore them. Im about to go watch your reaction to On & I'll probably leave more comments there lol 💜

I think that you should check out Kingdom Legendary War. Particularly the song Love Poem sung by three lead singers from different groups. Even the original singer was impressed. 0:05

You need to watch the video that tells all about them and how they got started as BTS. The struggles they went through. Also the video of the MMA AWARDS SHOW, 2019. You will really be amazed!

Finally a reactor that understands!

Another one of my favorite things about these guys is that they are passionate and pure. Meaning they don’t let the rest of the industry and world affect them. They look at the world around them, people, and nature, as if it’s their first time seeing it, and they respond passionately.

BTS are in a league of their own! No other group comes close to how organic and talented they are!
