Rapper Reacts to BTS (방탄소년단) 'IDOL' | AM I ARMY NOW?! (OFFICIAL M/V) 

"I'm gonna have to learn who is who." ARMY, he said the magic words!

“Is there a guide to help me learn who is who” Oh boy, he’s about to get lost in the BTS universe

every time someone says "I need to learn their names" a new ARMY is born

It's kinda scary how you're always on point with the lyrics/message in every bts reaction video without even being an ARMY or with just watching the MV first time..

HE: wants to know their names Me: this is how everyone started boy!

This guy literally analysed the song more than I ever could have😲

bts rarely uses green screen for their music videos, but when the haters kept saying they use green screens, they used as much gs as possible for this one!!!

I love that Jin says “I’m in love with myself” because we all know he genuinely loves himself 🤣

Those giant mop like creatures are from the Korean Lion Dance. It exorcism ritual to be performed in the New Year in Korea to get rid of the bad spirits for the previous year. This song is basically embracing everything that the haters try to use against them. Taehyung, the one is the heart shirt, is wearing glasses that people told him he didn’t look good in but he really liked. Namjoon was using filters because “fans” told him to stop using them during live streams. Jimin is often accused of being to feminine especially by international antis so he is doing the traditionally female fan dance, Buchaechum, while singing in a high voice, falsetto? sorry I don’t know what it is called. Korean antis accuse them of forgetting their Korean heritage for international success, so this entire song was a celebration of the Korean culture mixed with other cultures, African, Latin, and a few others. With this they are basically saying that we are all people sharing the same earth and mixing cultures should be encouraged but just because someone is taking influence from other cultures doesn’t mean they are forgetting their own. In the simplest form this song is a celebration of self love and acceptance. Once you can love and respect yourself and where you come from that is something that nobody can take away from you no matter how hard you try.

That's taeyungh aka "V" who's trolling the camera and giving meme materials😂

As an indian army, I got so happy when you mentioned "holi " festival😂💜💜

So Taehyung is the one making funny faces to the camera. And it is a troll response to those who call him “weird, immature, alien-like, etc etc” every member has something they’ve been ridiculed for that they’re taking back and being proud of in the video. Loving themselves

The rabbit is in the moon comes from an old Korean fairytale of a rabbit sitting on the moon brewing the elixir of immortality. There is a Korean saying that translates to something like “if you get cursed a lot, you will live long.” So they are basically saying that because they get cursed so much, by the haters, they will live forever.

I FEEL LIKE ITS THE TIME HE SHOULD CHECK “UGH! “ NEXT IM SURE HE’ll BE SO SURPRISED!!

6:49 Kim Seokjin (Jin) - Vocalist(1/4)/Songwriter/Composer/Dancer/Previously, majored in acting/started learning to sing from scratch/grammy acclaimed silver vocalist 3:52 Min Yoongi (Suga/Agust D) - Rapper(1/3)/Songwriter/Producer/Composer/Dancer/Can sing as well/Used to be an underground rapper/he was the first member to be registered as a full-time member of KOMCA(2018)/he has around 127 KOMCA credits 3:35 Jung Hoseok (jhope) - Rapper(2/3)/Dance Leader/Songwriter/Producer/Composer/Vocalist/Used to be an underground dancer & performer/learned how to rap from scratch/he has around 112 KOMCA credits/he has been dubbed as ‘stage presence’ and ‘the beat’ itself due to his charisma on stage and spectacular performance skills 2:16 Kim Namjoon (RM) - Leader/Rapper(3/3)/Songwriter/Producer/Composer/Dancer/Can sing as well/Used to be an underground rapper/debuted at No.3 on BBHot100 Songwriters Chart. He has around 172 KOMCA credits(third most credited songwriter in KOMCA's history, the youngest person to reach that number) 5:27 Park Jimin (Jimin) - Vocalist(2/4)/Songwriter/Composer/Dancer/majored in contemporary dancing (contemp. and hiphop dancing are total opposites but he managed to ace it) 7:31 Kim Taehyung (V) - Vocalist(3/4)/Songwriter/Composer/Dancer/has played a side role in a historical k-drama 'Hwarang' (he has been praised many times for his skills and many drama companies have offered to cast him)/he loves to rap(wants to be featured on a cypher) 8:14 Jeon Jungkook (Jungkook) - Vocalist(4/4)/used to rap when bts were a hiphop group back in 2013/Songwriter/Composer/has directed a bts Music Video 'Life Goes On'/Dancer/mainly in the centre during performances/all-rounder/his nickname is Golden Maknae (Maknae is the Korean term used to refer to the youngest member of a group) because he is good at everything The names in brackets are their stage names. All 7 of them are members of KOMCA (Korea Music Copyright Association). If you liked this MV check out Idol live & Ddaeng i.e. a song by bts rapline. The list is in age order. The thing about them is that when they try out 1 genre they never repeat it again. If you want to know them more, do not watch guide videos on RU-vid as they are outdated and have misinfo. The 3 rappers have released mixtapes that they composed, produced and wrote themselves. The vocal line mixtapes are in making. Heads up, the mixtapes are extremely personal and give an honest depiction of them as humans rather than world class idols RM - 2 Mixtapes. • RM (aggressive, hits hard) • Mono (a complete flip from the previous one, mellow, like a hug from RM himself) Suga - 2 Mixtapes. • Agust D • D-2 Both are really raw, hit hard, honest and scream AGUST D, like a person’s support system. J-hope - 1 Mixtape • Hopeworld Jhope has created his own unique style and is killing it!! His mixtape did really well will the general public and still is. Apart from the songs BTS release as a group. All 7 members often put out free music on Soundcloud like on their birthdays etc. The rappers have collaborated with artists outside of bts. Some examples: Jhope & Becky G “Chicken Noodle Soup” Suga & IU “8” Suga often produces music for other artists like Heize, Suran etc. RM & Wale “Change” RM & Homme “Seoul” RM & Aeon “Don’t”

We're all weak when Jimin goes "I'm so fine wherever I go"

The guy trolling the camera is V, his actual birth name is Taehyung. Lol

Idol is a song for self love and self acceptance. A "traditionally inspired track" featuring different classical Korean instruments, with electronic dance music in the style of South African dance music. The music video is too much on purpose, too many cgi, too many effects, (when they 95% of the times don't use cgis), too many colors, using things that people criticized them about, RM's camera filters, their draws, V's glasses, hairstyle and his shirt with the hearts etc. It's like a answer for people saying "oh you are not a rapper anymore, for being in a kpop group" "you have too many colors in your mvs, everyone looks the same, you are westernized, you sound like american pop, this style doesn't fit you". So yeah they trolling and having fun in the mv, telling that they can't stop them lovin themselves, while honouring their roots.

It's kinda scary how you're always on point with the lyrics/message in every bts reaction video without even being an ARMY or with just the MV first time..

You: Am I Army Now? Army: Uh, YES Man!

RABBIT IN THE MOON: In the Eastern hemisphere the part of the moon that is seen is different from what we see in the Western hemisphere. Here we say that if you look carefully the moon has a man's face in it. In Korea, they say that you can see the shape of a rabbit in the moon. Therefore there is a lot of folklore about the rabbit on the moon in Korea.

IDOL is a blend of traditional Korean and African/Middle Eastern beats. The leg dance move is the Gwara Gwara a dance from South Africa. I love the energy of IDOL it’s like a punch in the face to their haters and xenophobes, because no matter what they say BTS’ Korean culture is amazing and beautiful (they’re wearing traditional custom Hanboks), and BTS still breaking records with #1’s on the global and USA charts. There’s a great explained by Korean video by DKDKTV about this MV there are so many awesome layers to the meaning it’s wild.

Him: I wanna learn their names Me: the beginning of every armys story... for me? now i can identify them by their shoes love

"There's so much happening behind it" - you have no idea how spot on you are with that. It resonates with every level that BTS works on- be it their music production, video production, lyrics, inspiration, background and backstory, choreography etc. The members and their team put a significant amount of thought and effort to weave their stories and what they want to say and convert it into literal art. They are an endless pit of talent and so much more.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing different people appreciating and their perspective of BTS's work

Daechwita Song by Agust D (Suga of BTS) and BTS 2019 MMA 2019 Dionysus. Have to hear that live.

One of my favourite reactions to idol EVER! Yes this whole song, mv etc was a total smack in the face to the haters. ‘You think we use green screen? Oh, we’ll show you some green screen’ 😂 Normally they don’t use gs much. Other bits like the music influences in the song...the whole thing is a clapback to the haters. Plus the references are unreal, that’s BTS for you though! It’s so good. Also YOU MUST SEE THIS LIVE 😆 Army, we must protect Knox Hill at all costs 💜

One of the most genuine reactions ever seen in the entire history... Usually I don't watch reactions I feel many people fake it. But I love how you are adding meaning to things and how you are ready to admit when you don't know what it is about. Totally loved it ❤️🎉 worth watching ! And the festival is Holi that we Indians celebrate. 💜✨

“Giant mops sweeping away all the haters” HAHAHAHAHHAHAA THATS TOO FUNNY 🤣

Actually the live version is even better than the track..u need to react to it..give them another chance they gonna blow your mind..

I’m surprised you don’t mention how badass their dancing is!!! It blows me away!! BTS is sooooo talented - they are humble, amazing singers, amazing dancing, connected to their fans like no other artist.

BTS have been criticised for being too Korean. For being too westernized. For being idols, for not being idol enough. You name it they've been slagged off for it. Even for using filters in photos (Hence RM using his filters lol). Just about everything you can think of haters have used against them. Idol is a clap back to all the slights they've received while delivering the message "I don't care what you think or say about me. I love myself regardless of that"

Welcome to ARMY!! You should definitely see: FIRE, DOPE, ON Cinematic Manifesto and August D - Daechwita!!

This is a final song of their love yourself series. They basically go through a journey to love themselves. This song is basically their celebration after they succeeded loving themselves. I recommend if you check out the entire series 💜

OMG This is kinda scary how you really carch the message, the lyrics, even the easter eggs!!! SO SICK!! 😱😱 we as ARMY like we really don’t need to explain nothing to you! You actually GET IT! And get why we stan them... it’s not just for their looks. I mean I COULD KISS YOU RIGHT NOW I’m stunned.... thank you! You give the best feedback the BEST BTS REACTIONS!! 💜💜💜

"there seems to be a deeper meaning to this." oh boy don't let me start, coz then this will be an essay but thankfully i'm lazy so no 😁 just know that with BTS, there's always a deeper meaning to their music. also, they have THE most diverse discography, their music always has something for anybody. looking forward to your journey!

You should definitely react to 'BTS ON KINETIC MANIFESTO FILM' next you'll love it!

Bts - Black Swan. You'd enjoy that Stray Kids - Easy Stray Kids - God's Menu Higher Music - The Purge

“I’m gonna learn they’re names” is a one way ticket. I just wanted to know their names 8 years ago and 8 years later those names are tattooed on my heart and mind.

Seokjin/Jin - subvocals/plays keyboards and guitar Suga/August D - rapper/songwriter/plays keyboards Hobi/Jhope - rapper/main dancer/songwriter RM - rapper/leader/songwriter Jimin - lead vocals/contemporary dancer Taehyung/V - subvocals/plays saxophone and keyboards/actor Jungkook/Kookie - main vocals/lead dancer Korean media always attack them on every success they have internationally because they cannot believe that a small company about to be bankrupt can make it without the help of a media. They started 2013, recorded music in a garage, documented everything through vlogs, performance always got cut on their national TV, created their own shows in youtube, managed to garner global fandom on their own using raw talents and music. Because they were not managed by a well founded company they have the freedom to create their own music and express themselves. If you check out their old videos, they sleep in one small bedroom using bunk beds to fit in a small apartment. People get to hear them now and if you go back to their history, these guys really worked their way up on their own breaking the structured system where you get told what to do.

Fun fact: Each Bts comeback has a different style, which is what makes each comeback so enthusiastic and the songs of each album are different from the albums before and after and they are the only kpop artist/group to do this they are different from other groups and artists and that’s why they are very popular and loved , they have their own style with different styles on each comeback.

Suga also known as Agust D (his name when he drops music outside of bts), is one of the fastest korean rappers. You should check out Daechwita or his self titled song Agust D

"I need to know who is who".... and we all live sleepless night ever after😂

6:42 ...The Indian festival: "HOLI" Festival of colours

The third guy the one u said about him in the last reaction he got a flow..his name is suga ..he is the fastest rapper and they called him eminem korea..u need to react to AGUST D for him..

Definitely recommend reacting to “The Seven Member of Bangtan” to figure out who is who.

I love the “Giant mop that sweeps the haters”

You're not wrong. This was absolutely WILD live. They went OFF. The audience went OFF. It was incredible. Two years later and I still can't believe how incredible a BTS concert was.

Agust D of BTS is a crazy talented rapper, if you want proof, react to DAECHWITA!

Here are other BTS songs recommendations: - Blood sweat & tears - Fake Love - Dope - ON Kinematic Manifesto - Black Swan AAAND BTS Rap Line: - Cypher pt. 1/2/3 and 4 - DDAENG - UGH - Tear

The best analogy I've ever heard: THEY'RE GIANT MOPS, SWEEPING AWAY THE HATERS BRUHH

I really love the fact that you really try to understand the meaning of their songs since BTS really take into consideration the lyrics of their songs.

Oh my god loool "I feel like I need some glow sticks" This is why the kpop community has lightsticks for groups. And they add sooooo much to live concerts. The ARMY bomb (bts lightstick) is soooo beautiful in a crowd. The BTS love yourself stadium tour really showcases the awe inspiring crowd ARMY Bomb movements. Nothing compares bro

The one you were asking about his facial expression is V. He is widely known as the KING of facial expressions while performing and other Kpop idols study his moves and expressions while they are training. He has been labeled “the Idol of Idols”. In this video he is acting kind of goofy to fit the mood. I’m surprised you picked up on it from just a couple of shots. Make no mistake he stands out for his onstage charisma because he FEELS every emotion in the song and it shows. Plus he’s also done acting.

BTS can do literally whatevere they want. Musically they never stop experimenting with differents generes. That's something I really love about their music, you never get tired of the sound. It is something different every time

I've been listening to BTS for two months now and I feel reassured knowing that I wasn't the only one who lost their mind the first time they heard IDOL.

11:44 No those aren’t mops! That’s actually meant to represent Haetae- literally “an omniscient mythical creature”. It’s a legendary creature in East Asian Mythology. You can notice that in this video, they are wearing Korean traditional outfits called Hanboks (like at 6:58) and also, their choreography has elements of Korean traditional dance styles (like the spin jump that you mentioned at 9:39). This song may have a bouncy nature with a visually joyous and colourful music video to complement the same, but the underlying message is quite deep; it is them reflecting on their identities. They are artists, idols and Koreans and like this, they have several identities. Their artist selves and their personal selves maybe different, but they are the same people. It is also a clapback to the haters who criticised them, saying that they have become too “westernised” in terms of their musical identity, and also otherwise; hence, they have incorporated these traditional Korean elements by portraying that they honour their roots and are proud of who they are. The starting lines “You can call me artist, you can call me idol... I don’t care, I’m proud of it” actually point out to the fact, that the initial members of BTS (RM and Suga) were underground rappers, but when they left the underground scene to become idol trainees, they were mocked and looked down upon by the underground rap community (it is a common stereotype that idols are only manufactured celebrities who just follow what’s popular and are meant to just shine in the public eye supported by their visuals and limited talents). In response, they’re saying that they’re “never gonna change and never gonna trade” as they don’t care about what others have to say about them. They have proved time and time again that they are much above the typical “idol” image and also that the go way beyond what “K-Pop” is. I have sooo much more to write, but I guess I’ll stop here for now. (Also, the Indian festival that you mentioned is Holi)

the one that have the funniest face expression his name is V he have the deepest vocals..his vocals on another level ..u should react to sweet night and blue and grey💜

fun facts: 1. IDOL use South Korea traditional music instruments for the beats and music arragements. 2. There is a house on the refrain part, It's called Hanok, South Korea traditional house. 3. They also wearing Hanbok, South Korea traditional clothes, but in modern model where you can mix & match it with casual daily styles. 4. The dragon means "independece" by South Korea citizens.

That’s why they say BTS is the genre. 💜

6:20 this is V. His full name is Kim Taehyung

LOVE THIS GUY. ARMY DON'T LET HIM ON THE SIDE. Btw, if you can react to 'BTS ON KINETIC MANIFESTO FILM'...

Omg he's asking about V!!! His real name is Kim Taehyung. And he's the king of facial expressions!!! He's the reason why got into kpop!

This reaction just made me laugh the whole time. I am full charged in positivity! This reminds me how many emotions I was getting when watching the mv for the first time during their comeback! Your reactions are amazing. You can explain all those layers and music, vocal and rap delivery tricks which always made me crazy, but I didn't know why

For a whole different vibe: "Spring day" from BTS Or "Your eyes tell" (There is no MV but performances and many lyric Videos woth english translations) Or "Blue and Grey" (There isn't a MV too. It is from the latest album.) But not only the songs that have musicvideos are good. They are more emotional and less aggressive. I would like it to show you a different side so that you will be surprised.

The first guy who rapped is RM (Rap Monster/Namjoon) (2:11) Second guy who rapped is J-hope (Jung Hoeseok) (3:10) 3rd guy who rapped is Suga (Min Yoongi) (3:48) The guy with funny facial expressions is V (Kim Taehyung) (5:14) The guy who sings "You can't stop me lovin' myself" is Jimin (Park Jimin) (5:25) The guy with red hair and also is in the middle in the first scene is Jungkook (Jeon Jungkook) (8:36) The guy at 11:26 is Jin (Kim Seokjin) And there's a total of seven members in the group!

he," I WANT TO SEE THEM LIVE PERFORMING THIS" Me, "REALLY? YOU WANT TO? THE STAGE WAS SHAKING WHEN THEY WERE PERFORMING THIS!!!

"What do those characters represent? it's like a giant mob... they're just sweeping away the haters" - that's the cutest interpretation yet!!!!🤗🤗

u should definitely check out 1-Tear 2-ugh 3-ddeang

The first one:Rm( rap monster) The second:Jhope (who said "I'm proud of it) N3 is Suga N4 is V/Taehyung( just after rm) N5 is Jimin( who said " you can't stop lovin myself) the one who said " who hoo" is Jungkook(The one on the left with the expression is V) After we have Jin with " oh oh oooyooo ohhh ohh oyoo". Sorry if it's not good I can't do better xd Edit; it's not rap monster but real me bcz he changes. Call him just Rm

“I feel like I need a glow stick” Army: “we all have one” Lol 😂 Your reactions to BTS are the best 👍

OK, so. Excellent reaction! You are correct, there is a lot more going on in the music and in the video then can just be found in one sitting. There are a couple of different explanation videos on RU-vid, from native Korean speakers, explaining some of the cultural context and Hidden Easter eggs that are in the video. If you want to see a live version, check out the MMA 2018 BTS Idol video. It’s a bit longer, but also showcases some of cultural elements used in the dance and music. Also, the dancers have incredible solos.

All of their songs can be SO different that's why you will be amazed at the different stories and ideas BTS have!!!

That Indian festival where we throw colours at each other is called "Holi"❤️😘😘

" i have to know who is who", the exact same thing that i said about a week ago, now i know every single song of bts 😅 😅 ❤️❤️❤️ newbie Army 🇮🇷

please react to BTS Cypher pt1 , pt2 , pt3 and pt 4 please 🔥🔥🔥

6:19 That’s Taehyung. He’s the “weird” one of the group (in a good way, though). Nobody will ever know what goes on inside his head, but we love him nonetheless. 6:38 That Indian festival is Holi. It is celebrated as a way to welcome in spring, and also is seen as a new beginning where people can release all their inhibitions and start fresh. There is also a religious symbolic legend as to why it’s celebrated, but I don’t know much about it since I’m atheistic, but what I do know is that the word “Holi” was derived from “Holika”, an asura. Coming from an Indian.

The rabbit on the moon: I’m Mexican and when I was young I clearly remember my parents telling me that there’s a bunny on the moon. If you look at the moon in a specific way you can see the outline of a rabbit(specifically the ears). I always asked my other Hispanic friends if their parents ever told them this story and they always said no. Now as a 24 year old I found out that it’s a mythology that originated in China. How my Mexican parents that lived in Mexico for half of their life heard about this myth... I’ll never know.

1 Kim Namjoon - RM - The leader of the group 2 Kim Sheokjin - Jin 3 Min Yoongi - Suga - Agust d 4 Jung Hoseok - J Hope 5 Park Jimin - Jimin 6 Kim Taehyung - V - Tae 7 Jeon Jungkook - Jungkook- Kookie

“The most beautiful life goes on: a story of bts” by Asian theory is a good guide sorta for them. Thanks for reacting luv it💜😂

I’m waiting for him to fall into the jimin efect, he can’t be the exception 🥴

I love that BTS used the green screen so crazy for de MV beacuse the haters don't stop to say that all of MV of BTS was with green screen, the video plus the sing.... really BTS is very cool.

There’s a lot of Korean influence and references in this mv. It’s one of the reasons why I love it so much.

The Indian festival that you asked is Holi... It is the festival of colours!!

This song is more deep than a lot of people realize when they first watch and i'm glad to see you went really deep with the reaction:) The rabbit in the moon is from the Chinese tale, the rabbit is busy pounding the elixir of life in a mortar for the goddess of the moon. In Korea, the rabbit is pounding rice into flour in a mortar to make heavenly rice cake. It's also a reference to a famous Korean folktale, in which a god honored a selfless rabbit by placing it in the moon. The rabbit also symbolizes immortality and there is a Korean saying that translates to "the more you are cursed at, the longer you will live." BTS could see themselves as the rabbits, there's a lot of multiple meanings and references and cultures in this video. I'm afraid I can't help you with the mop looking things, I think it's a cultural costume sort of like the Chinese dragon but I am really not sure. I really hope you do more BTS! I love the way you look at their music and I also like your music too!

That indian festival with colours is called HOLI

This man talk and we like he is rapping.... Agree or not

"Lots of meme material in this." Welp, looks like you're an Army now sir. We welcome you with open arms! Loved your track btw!

Him: "What made me feel like it's bts is that there's this aggression and swag to it" Me: "HO we're just getting started. there are aiuefhgywjhb more sides to this amazing group"

"this must be fun to see live" They literally broke the stage once in their concert while performing this and shook the whole stage during an award show

Does anyone else thought-about the time when the stage shake because is this song.when he said “ it would be fun to see live,” or am I the only one

I'm telling you their whole discography is so diverse. There's no song sounds the same. It's like you're entering into a new world with so much great things. Even their side tracks are 5 stars. You're going to like them for sure

Listen to Ddeang. The instrumental, instruments, flow will be world shaking lol

The reason I’m hooked up with your videos is the fact that you take the time to think of the meaning behind the lyrics, the semiotic of the visuals happening, you go beyond reacting to what you’re listening 🫶🏻

It means they don't care what haters say they don't care about haters they love army and fans

I really recommend you check out their song “UGH!” It’s a rap line only song and it really showcases the rappers full pontecials. The lyrics are about getting angry at people being angry for no reason and harming other people that way. It talks about how anger can be good and can even change the world but many people don’t know where to direct it towards

Here we go🔥💜i have been waiting for so long😂

This guy knows so much about artists and music, appreciate the way he explained . Only an artist know about true artist. ✋

That Indian Festival is 'Holi' ..........festival of colours🇮🇳. And the boy who is making funny expression is Kim Teahyung aka world's most handsome man 😊

The guy on the left with the facial expression his name is V(real name: Kim Taehyung)
