Reaction to BTS Contribution to Music - Metal Guy Reacts 

Doolset lyrics is the best translation for their lyrics. It explains the Korean references and wordplay in the songs. The songs with the Music Videos have the correct and right translation. But for any reference and the songs without MV you can go with Doolset.

DKDKTV Explained by a Korean series are really helpful too

Their new album BE will be an album in which the contribute EVEN more! Can't wait! Also luv your reactions!💜

FYI: Their RU-vid channel has English subtitles with all new videos but are still working on old ones. Bangtan Subs is a good channel to watch their old videos with English subtitles. (The playlist layout is well done. It's in old to new order.) They have a lot of behind the scenes and vlog like content there. They do/ do lives on RU-vid but also on their Vlive channel. It's an app you can download.

Lyrics are why I am Army. Lyrics are the most important thing to me! And their lyrics are deep, poetic, and meaningful. 💜 I love that you appreciate that aspect of their art. Some reactors choose to react to the lyrics first and then the MV or vice versa so they can give equal attention to both. Most color coded lyric videos so not have the best translations. There is a really good online source ...Doolset, maybe? Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong. There are some songs that I would also recommend watching the explanation by a Korean done by DKDKTV, just because there are so many cultural references, or word play dependent on the Korean language, that a direct translation no matter how good can't fully convey the meaning. Some examples of that would be Ugh, Ddaeng, and Bapsae.

In addition to xceleste, there is another very good channel when you are interested in explanations of some MVs: DKDKTV (explained by a Korean).

I can tell that your appreciation of music has depth. For me, that's important to know about BTS bc from their song writing, production, as well as performances, there's depth & meaning.

for translations and understanding of lyrics: -doolsetbangtan -official MVs have subtitles -DKDKTV Explained by a korean series i'd NOT recommend typing in bts lyrics on youtube cause u'd most likely get inaccurate lyrics written in haste.

Great reaction, I think one of the best translating lyrics is @doolsetbangtan. There include korean reference for a better understanding of the song. Sorry for the bad english.

i suggest turning to fan translators for lyrics! the fan translators put in a lot of really hard work to not only translate the lyrics themselves, but give context for them as well. this is super helpful especially with the rapline because so many of bts' lyrics include references to literature, current events, and korean culture. i think that https: // doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/ has been one of the most helpful resources personally because those annotations are included in the lyric translations themselves 🤗

I’d recommend DKDTV they explain BTS’s “Ugh!” In great detail and the message is about hate inflicted on wasteful things

Hi, thank you for your open mindedness, I really appreciate that. I would like to recommend you watch explained videos by DKDKTV and Bookish theories. They both create very well researched content and use credible sources. I often find that it's not enough to read lyrics when they're translated from another language because so much gets lost in translation. I do think this Doolset website is amazing because they do provide detailed explanations about certain phrases, but I find that text can be misunderstood and I like the way "DKDKTV" explain the lyrics from a Korean's perspective incorporating cultural nuances and historical references; and the way "Bookish theories" explains the incredible depths of BTS's lyrics in relation to literature, art, and so much more.

I recommend Bangtan subs they have good lyric translations and have a whole website. Also there is this random person on Twitter that does translations occasionally and I would recommend him for context and deep translations (@ColinSH3) Most of their MVs have accurate translations but if you want to dive in more I would suggest those.

Just an update on this part of the video 6:57 that Xceleste already mentions in the most recent BTS videos you reacted. RM and Jhope are also full members of KOMCA alongside Suga. Great reaction as always! I really like your reaction videos because I can see that you enjoy learning about new things

I love xCeleste and this video, but the only thing that is missing is their insight on « Albums » in general They’ve always emphasize the importance of albums. If you listen to them, you would notice the natural flow. They always put the songs in a particular spot, which also means that you have to listen to the full album in the correct order (from track 1 to last). It really is a whole another experience (while the songs are already great on their own). Plus, they do have most of the times an Intro, Interlude, Skit or Outro, as they are very much influenced by hiphop. Also, Namjoon (RM) mentioned this during an awards show last year : nowadays, people aren’t really interested in physical albums as they were before. We consume music like instant foods (as he said).. I mean, people do tend to listen to music on spotify/radio/youtube/etc but less and less people buy physical albums now.. and his saying really struck out to me since then ! They also put a lot of emphasis on the album’s design or cover. Nothing is purely aesthetic, they do have a meaning

explanation by a korean videos are always very interesting. They also have making of videos for most of their MVs. I always watch when there is one because you get to see what they went through. Like on the video for Save Me they froze their little butts off filming, but it was one camera one take and came out amazing.

Their new album that comes on 20th November is self directed btw bc all their albums were largely produced by them.. now they have a hand in other aspects too not just music

As many have said: Doolset to read translations, official MV's have accurate translations but after it is still worth checking out doolset or DKDKTV for cultural references and wordplay etc. I love seeing reactions to DKDKTV they are two korean guys who does a great job making easy to watch videos explaining and breaking down the lyrics and MV's but always react to the songs before watching DKDKTV. The color coded lyric videos are fan made and often made in a hurry when new songs comes out and often not the best translations but still good enough if you keep that in mind and especially if you check out DKDKTV after or Doolset if there arent a DKDKTV video. The best thing with color coded lyrics is that you see who sings what(sometimes a bit wrong too but not often). Bangtan Subs have put subtitles to some of the oldest MV's and other stuff on BTS channels that doesn't have any subtitles there so go to that channel and search for stuff if it doesn't have eng CC. Follow on You Tube: *BANGTANTV* - official channel *BIG HIT LABELS* -official channel *Bangtan Subs* - Translates/puts subtitles on different BTS stuff *DKDKTV* - explains some of BTS lyrics and MV's and cultural references and wordplay etc. Also if you watch something and it says auto generated subtitles when you press the CC button it means there are no eng subs and it's not translating, it is just coming up with english words out of what the korean sounds like and are 100% wrong.

I've always listened to music for the lyrics, that's the most important part for me, and that's why BTS are my favorite artists... As someone with severe depression and social anxiety, their songs, their content, their message.. help me a lot every day...I've never had this connection with other artists, all their songs are a journey of self-discovery, self-love, and development as a person and as a society. Plus I'm an illustrator, so I rly love all their references and symbolisms in lyrics and visuals, they are just amazing, most of their songs have multiple meanings: 1- a catchy song with a ''simple'' relatable topic (for example a break up); 2- a social or psychological aspect (that you catch up knowing the metaphores and references used); 3- Something personal to them as a group or as individuals (in solo songs) (We find out this through them in vlives mostly) 4- Is related to their fictional story (they have a fictional story, with them as characters, going through some of their MVs, some songs, a webtoon, short clips, notes in the albums and 2 books) is a story about friendship with topics like drugs, suicide, power abuse, child abused, violence, etc. with a little bit of fantasy (time traveling) As an illustrator, this kind of creativity and storytelling is just beautiful, how they can fit so many things in one song, and how they tell an entire story through their album and album series, they and their team are just amazing

DKDKTV has a great interpretation of the lyrics. Especially their hidden meaning. Have fun!

bts’s music videos all have english subs but for b sides I recommend either doolset (doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com) or muish (muish.wordpress.com) as lyric videos on youtube tend to be haphazard in their translation and are mainly doing it for views rather than actual dedicated fan translations. newer videos on their youtube channel will have english subtitles but for older ones I recommend the channel bangtan subs (ru-vid.com), they also have a website with other translations and videos that get taken down due to copyright. each time bts releases an album, rm does a livestream on an app called v live where he breaks down the process of making the album and the ideas behind it. other member also do this when they release solo work but he’s the one who does it when it’s a bts album. they do other livestreams on there as well, sometimes just to chat with fans when they’re bored, for a birthday or, back when concerts were a thing, after a concert and there’s various reality/game shows (kind of, I’m not sure what the correct term would be) that they have on there as well. this is just if you’re interested though bc although most of it is free, I wouldn’t react to it on here as it usually gets taken down by nave (the company that owns v live).

They also have solo mix tapes such as MONO by RM, AGUSTD/D2 by suga, Hopeworld by Jhope.

Hi, here is one 58 years old who started at 10 with Suzy Quatro and Deep Purple, went trough heavy rock, Pink Floyd, disco, punk, folk, classic... I mean everything what was catchy and could make me move and dance... And I'm with BTS since 2015 but actually started to love them at 2016 after "Save me"... I want to breathe, I hate this night I want to wake up, I hate this dream I'm trapped inside of myself and I'm dead Don't wanna be lonely Just wanna be yours Why is it so dark where you're not here It's dangerous how wrecked I am Save me because I can't get a grip on myself Listen to my heartbeat It calls you whenever it wants to Because within this pitch black darkness You are shining so brightly Give me your hand Save me save me I need your love before I fall, fall Give me your hand save me save me I need your love before I fall, fall Give me your hand save me save me Give me your hand save me save me Save me, save me Today the moon shines brighter on the blank spot in my memories It swallowed me, this lunatic, please save me tonight (Please save me tonight, please save me tonight) Within this childish madness you will save me tonight I knew that your salvation Is a part of my life and the only helping hand that will embrace my pain The best of me, you're the only thing I have Please raise your voice so that I can laugh again Play on Listen to my heartbeat, it calls you whenever it wants to Because within this pitch black darkness, you are shining so brightly Give me your hand save me save me I need your love before I fall, fall Give me your hand save me save me I need your love before I fall, fall Give me your hand save me save me Give me your hand save me save me Thank you for letting me be me For helping me fly For giving me wings For straightening me out For waking me from being suffocated For waking me from a dream which was all I was living in When I think of you the sun comes out So I gave my sadness to the dog (Thank you. For being 'us') Give me your hand save me save me I need your love before I fall, fall Give me your hand save me save me I need your love before I fall, fall

To understand their songs deeper, I definitely recommend *DKDKTV* . They have a series called "K-pop Explained by a Korean", where they tackle the lyrics of K-pop songs and talk about not just the lyrics, but the nuances, the cultural meanings, and more behind the lyrics. It's a much deeper dive into their lyrics so it's very helpful especially for foreigners to understand what BTS is trying to say. I find that normal eng lyrics videos for BTS songs don't always work cause either it goes too fast or they don't explain the meaning of the lyrics well so DKDKTV def helps. (Also, Danny and David are HILARIOUS)

Same! I love , like & become an ARMY because of the 1.lyrics 2.how they interact with fans 3.their loyalty and love to the group 4.being crackheads last their visual,choreo and performance.

For lyrics the best translations are on this website called “doolset”. It’s so in-depth and even breaks down the intense korean wordplay that isn’t understood by non-korean speakers 💜

They spoke at the un general assembely again this year, so if you like you could watch their speech. It's really inspiring and it won't spoil any songs for you. You will just see them promote their message again.

Rosan aka xCeleste she is true ARMY. I love her 😍

i love how you come across genuinely interested in them. their official channels now (finally) have subs, which i think is great because you will get the nuances of the language translated accurately. for older stuff, there used to be many channels doing fan subs, that were a godsend back in the day. bangtan subs i believe still have their channel. If you wanna see more I highly suggest you watch their bangtantv episodes. you see their personalities shine, their tireless work ethic, how they prepare for performances. any their MVs are wonderful of course, but I love seeing people react to them doing live performances, because you can really see how talented they are as artists.

So excited to see more from you! When watching their music videos I suggest watching behind the scenes in your personal time! That way you can see that most of their sets are not cgi but rather have been built and are real! BigHit Entertainment has a big budget for music videos!

also I appreciate and respect you for wanting to truly understand their music. it warms my heart to see someone so thorough.

For lyrics and translations, look to a site from muish (muish's ramblings) and doolset. Both are on wordpress. I think it'll flag my comment as spam if I leave links, so just search "muish wordpress" and "doolsetbangtan wordpress" in google. These are probably the best lyric translation sites. Be VERY careful of lyric videos. Videos by Jaeguchi, Lemoring, and zaty fahrani are all incredibly inaccurate (they're NOT even Korean speakers). These three use papago online translation and also have been caught avoiding copyright strikes to profit from artists. Look to others if you are wanting to have lyric videos. Moonlight 52 Hz is new, but is a credible lyric translation site. Lynn Eksonyeondan also has great lyric video translations (of their mostly older stuff; definitely use their site for rapline's songs if possible).

The best lyrics come from their own music videos. They graciously add them if you hit the cc option for those of us that don’t understand korean

Hi! Just wanted to welcome you to our precious world with BTS, it's really fun to watch you react to different videos and I agree XCeleste is incredible at making them! Excited for more videos!

Somehow most of the videos you see from compilations is from the boys live broadcast in Vlive app. So after the live then only the full translation will come out either realtime by fans or by the editors of the company themselves. There are also fans who made threads on twitter to translate the live broadcast to others realtime..most of us would follow Korean ARMYs twitter that always does translation in that manner. Also like others said, you can also go to RU-vid channel called 'Bangtan Subs'. That channel was among the first teams that do translation for all BTS videos and good explanation of the boys words alongside the subtitles. Thank you for diving in to BTS as individuals and their musics. Hope you enjoy the journey and Borahae💜💜💜

Many translations are auto-created so they’re not very good. Some people have recommendations below about the best translators. Remember that some concepts don’t translate literally (like “it’s raining cats and dogs”) would not mean something to many non-English speakers. These guys are such poets and maybe because they’re like brothers now, aren’t afraid to show their emotions, cry, or sit with an arm around another member, just to watch tv. American men shy away from touching other men. I like that they’re so honest with each other and with us. You’re doing great. I subscribed. Good luck!

Yeey~ I love that video ! Xceleste rocks *^^* 💜💜💜 I can't wait to see your reaction to BTS lyrics.

im pretty late but for lyrics I use a website called muish ramblings, I’ve found that she does an accurate and thorough explanation for the majority of their songs, even adding her own comments and explanations to references made in their lyrics.

DKDKTV have a "BTS lyrics explained by koreans" series and you'd be surprised how much smart wordplay they use

The official mv has subtitles. And for the other songs I use doolset. Explains references and its good

Aside from Doolset for translations, there are also explanation videos available for certain songs. Army will let you know when you've reacted to the MV. The well-known channels for this are DKDKTV and Bookish Theories.

Doolsetbangtan and DKDKTV. They give the best translations and explanations.

They upload a lot of content on their youtube channel but there's even more on their vlive (basically a video platform for kpop idols). There they have livestreams and host their show Run in which they try new things and play games. They show demos or guide tracks of song in the live streams as well as giving some insider info about the production process after they release new music but they also just talk to Army in them

I've already seen these videos but still watched it with you. I dont like very many reaction videos but you seem genuine so I'm actually watching you dive into our guys. Like I tell everyone I know.. if you just give these guys a chance.. you'll either become a fan or gain a whole new respect for them. Thank you for giving them a chance 💜

*i really hope you keep checking out their music including b-sides and this kind of videos, thank you so much for such a genuine reaction!*

I appreciate you asking about lyrics! A lot of people just go for those Color Coded Videos, which often don’t have the best subs. Everyone’s recommendations of DKDKTV and doolset is right what I’d say too!

The best place to get translations is, without a doubt, doolset. Just search for the song a long with doolset and you'll find it. Also, Namjoon does a behind the album livestream you can find on the app/website 'vlive'. It's really interesting and I think you'll like it.

Lots of their lives and stuff are on an app called Vlive (where they show the demos or just chat) but as of late they've started doing lives on youtube

This video is already dated as it was made prior to the last album, Map of the Soul: 7, which was released in January. It blew the stats mentioned in this video out of the water.

For the old music videos, there will be no translations by bighit because translation just started recently. So its either you watch the mv first for the old MVs then watch lyrics videos for translations.... for recent mvs, the best way is just to see the captions. Its the correct translations. Also lyrics is one thing, but the meaning of the music video is another. BTS has a lot of theories in their music videos. Such as i need you, run, forever young, spring day, fake love, etc. Everything from the beginning. So i suggest to watch it in order (order of the release as it is connected). And to understand more about the music videos, watch the ‘mv explained’. Some videos of the explanation is either at xceleste, dkdktv or other mvs

Looks like ARMYs answered your question, so I'm ready to dive back in with you! 👍👍

DKTV guys do a amazing job explaining some of their most complicated songs, and Genius is actually a reliable source for lyrics

Every album I think since Wings, in vapp RM talks some behind the scenes of production and lyrics of each song. He obviously goes deeper into the ones he wrote, but he does speak of every song. They also do it for their mixtapes and solo self productions. So besides their RU-vid channel they have their vapp channel with a lot of content.

And for few songs the explanation by DKDKTV is advised as they do it better. Especially for the songs by Rapline

As an army, i usually refers to normal lyric video in youtube, but also referring to DKDKTV explanation (if there's any) and ALWAYS read up Doolset lyrics to know deeper. If my not mistaken Genius Lyrics is also fine as there are many korean contributors who filled in for any cultural/ language reference in the lyrics. But Doolset is the most trustable ones for armys. I also suggest you react to their variety shows contents (non-music contents like their funny videos compilation to know more about each members separately) . I love your reaction, sorry i commented on an 8months old video but i only found BTS few months ago so... SUBSCRIBED

Another great video! Can't wait to see you dive in into their music

I'm Baby A.R.M.Y and this taught me a lot more about the group. 🤗🥰 I appreciate your knowledge of music.

Be aware that Bangtan TV doesn't always have English Subs so if you go to Bangtan Subs if you can't find the subs in TV you will probably find it in TV. Also just an fyi there was always 7 members but they hid V (Kim Taehyung) because they were afraid that someone else would try to sign him before they were able to debut thus be able to sign them. When they didn't have the money they recorded in a garage and also did one song with Warren G and used his studio with his blessing. After they started doing concerts they often record in living areas of hotel rooms of staff that have larger studio rooms. They also set up their own studio in their room to do lyrics and beats. I find it upbuilding that they always believe in being helpful in their lyrics. In their lyrics I think RM does the English lyrics at the bottom of the MV but if you want to know about other songs Doolset is the best lyrics but I often look at several Eng. subs to make sure I get the right meaning. Starting at "We Are Bulletproof pt. 1 their 1st trailer but for some reason it did not come out until MNET made a documentary on them in 2015. So then their first mv w/o cc in Eng. was No More Dream their official debut happened on 6/13 when they took a spot of a group that did a no show. "We Are Bulletproof pt. 2" starts the ccs in English and this is the introduction MV after that N.O. is considered their first MV and it is also cc as are all the videos after this. But be sure to look at the official Big Hit Ent MVs so their 2nd MV is Boy In Love this was not liked by feminist but as an older woman I thought it was very indicative of what boys think about at this age so I was like ... please. As you can see the lyrics change for the next song "Just One Day" its still about young love but from a different point of view. If you want to see the rest of the mvs you should go to the article This BTS Music Video Timeline (my comments were too long). Here is the link stylecaster.com/bts-music-video-timeline/

The album breakdowns done by RM is on the app called Vlive. He does it after the release of every album. It's like hours longs and he talks about behind the scenes. For music videos and some other songs just turn on captions and then you can look for in depth breakdowns by DKDKTV. For rest of the songs you may have to rely on doolset bangtan. It's has some of the best translations. So far on youtube we really dont have satisfactory lyric breakdowns.

Most recent videos has English subtitles especially when they started promoting in the West. The earlier videos might not have any, and with Korean lyrics, most ARMYs trust Doolset... 💜💜💜

Doolset lyrics is a great reference point, as well as the youtube channel DKDKTV have a series called explained, where a native korean speaker breaks down references in certain songs.

official MVs always have lyrics on them except I think their first song No More Dream and there is a blog called Doolset who has all lyrics with a deeper dive with Korean wordplay explained as well as songs without MVs.

I really appreciate you taking the time to learn about them. They are so amazing and inspiring!

For me as a fan, I follow a lot of different fan translators on Twitter (let me know if you want me to list them!). Usually after a new album releases, they post their translations then. But not many of them have a central place for their lyric translations since they also translate so many other BTS contents too. So along with reading the CC English translations provided in BTS's music videos, you could also use these websites below. These are especially useful when going through whole albums (which I highly recommend). - Doolset: doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/ - Bangtan Subs: www.bangtansubs.com/lyrics - Muish (This person puts a lot of context into their translations that would help any fan get a fuller picture of the songs for deeper reflection & contemplation.): muish.wordpress.com/bts-directory-of-ramblings - Genius English Translations (Honestly, not a bad place to find general translations and identifies which member sings which part.): genius.com/artists/Genius-english-translations If you do decide to use any color-coded lyric videos that you see on RU-vid, just be warned that they aren't always accurate. The most important thing to note about lyric translations is that there is no perfect translation per se. Translating from one language to another is not easy, especially when there's not a similar word for something in another language. That's why I prefer to read different translations to get the overall feel of the lyrics in a song and in case there's anything I may have missed from one person's translation/interpretation. The members have done many interviews and live streams talking about the behind the scenes of their albums, so there's plenty to learn if you want to know more. (Example: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tt9x61AL50E.html) If you have questions on where to find any of those contents, just ask! Also you may have heard by now, but BTS are coming out with a new album called "BE" on November 20th! It's an album they've created during quarantine this year and they've been even more involved creatively (like visual concepts, music video ideas etc.) compared to previous releases. I hope you can enjoy it with us! Here's a link to presave the album if you're interested: t.co/NwKQ0N03yu Thanks for reading my long comment and thank you for the videos!

All of their official music videos have closed captions, so that is a great place to start. For songs that don’t have official music videos the best places to get good translations are @doyou_bangtan, @doolsetbangtan on Twitter as well as the Bangtan Trans team who have a Twitter (@BTS_Trans), a RU-vid channel (Bangtan Subs) and a blog where they archive all of BTS’ lyrics and also subtitle other content. You can easily find a ton of lyrics videos on RU-vid that are pretty popular among reactors because they’re easily accessible. Those videos aren’t bad but they tend to have some inaccuracies and miss a lot of the more in-depth nuances/cultural context in the lyrics so if you use those it’s best to also look at the text translations from those I listed above so you don’t miss anything. Lastly, another good resource is the BTS Explained By A Korean series by DKDKTV on RU-vid, they don’t have every song but the ones they do have are a really amazing breakdown of the context and genius wordplay the boys use. Actually it would be GREAT to see you react to those!!

You should also check out their vlives on the Vlive app, there are subs there as well

What I would recommend you is the channel Dkdktv. They explain a lot of the lyrics in detail and tell us about the references to Korean history and so on. As to the lyrics in music videos, the new music videos have English captions to their MVs but the older ones don't have them so you need to search them up. I like to watch your videos a lot and I appreciate your opinion :)

Few things 1. I think there is just 1 more video you should check out before you dive in and it's another long one. But it's the introduction to the 7 members. It contains some outdated info (made in 2017) but it's a great starting point for anyone getting into the group because knowing the individuals within the group will help you understand some of the decisions they make as well in their music. 2. For SOME songs, there are explanation videos. You won't even have to ask. When you react to the song, Army will tell you where you can find the explanation. But for the others, doolset Bangtan is the best option.

Thanks, is it Geoff or Jeff? I am also digging into more information about them, their history and their relationship with one another, which is very interesting. You don't have to like the music to admire the artists and their contribution. Kpop is definitely not my thing, but I find myself more and more intrigued by them as individuals, and as a team. They are incredibly hardworking, extremely supportive of one another and respectful of their fans. That's a damn good start from where I'm sitting!

For a long time I used to listen to foreign songs so I can just enjoy the music without getting distracted by the lyrics. Cuz too many lyrics are just about love and chasing girls or boys, or something very basic and empty. So I either ignore them or just treat them as just a sound. Many old songs have really great lyrics though, but new songs are more either very commercial so they can't be too specific or just sloppy work cuz no one cares. Till BTS. The lyrics, especially namjoon's writing is so beautiful like poems. Their music is great, but there are many other great music too, really set them different, for me is the lyrics. I even start leaning korean just so I can understand the lyrics completely while I'm listening. That's how inspiring they are lol I have to learning a whole freaking language

Pretty much all of the music videos have CC available for lyrics. When checking out B-sides/ unofficial lyric videos sometimes aren’t always accurate because the uploader of the video wanted to put it out as quickly as possible. Most of the time though after the song has been out for a while they’ll add the correct lyrics to CC.

You should watch the video, BTS explained by an academician. "BTS with Dr. Jiyoung Lee"full version. It's pretty impressive

I love your reactions, you're a very thoughtful person, I've seen them all and you have a new subscriber here. As you like vinyls, let me tell you that there are vinyl versions of Dynamite and Life Goes On, the new title track for BE album coming on November 20th, well Life Goes On vinyl is sold out in half a day but for sure they're going to restock. Make sure to catch yours 💜

If lyrics are important to you, then prepared to have your mind blown. RM is a lyrical genius (and the other guys are not exactly shabby either).

Sorry if someone already wrote that: there are two yt channels Bighit labes, that hold all official MVs and BangtanTV that has all behind the scenes and streams and yes all the latest videos have eng subs, but earliest ones from 2013 and 2014 dont so if you want to see them just enter name of the vid and put eng next to it in search bar

I think one you need to see is 'Spring day' but not just the music video, also the explanation video. Once you know the real meaning behind it you can never listen to it the same

Your reaction is great! Love your POV!

Their MVs have captions which is great however their lyrics are so deep sometimes you won't understand, so there are alot of explanation vids at DKDKTV and all over youtube.

Love your reaction and I agree with the way you think... BTS is a whole universe, I'm still learning, but i recomend you to start with their old videos and always search for lyrics, official and dance practice (if the song has it), that way u will understand better the story behind them... and then you watch the live performances... fighting!

I really like your channel you have great vibes, keep it going 🤘🏼

Their official MVs have subtitles which the Eng translation is decent, so remember to turn them on when you watch next time.

DKDKTV have BTS songs explained. Those are good to use. You could possibly do the MV or a live performance followed by the meaning. I love to see you react to that. Much love!

Not only their YT channel, but they also have VLive broadcasts ( www.vlive.com ) when they want to communicate with ARMY about things they are going through and what they've been up to. I believeTaehyung (V) was on a VLive when he played that Spring Day demo at 6:25, but I don't know the exact video link. I don't think they've been on there as much lately, more so on their other platform, weverse.com.

If you're going to watch RU-vid videos from them ( they just started adding subtitles to their non music videos) but "Bangtan Subs" on RU-vid is a good one. if you're looking for actual song lyrics, Doolset is the best. They give accurate lyrics and give explanations and context when the members use Korean wordplays, idioms, etc.

Omg love how your so interested in BTS I love your reaction you should definitely listen to their albums and lyric translations

Also bts only recently started putting English subs on their vids. So if u watch for example a behind the scenes video for their mvs. Just type the title of the video +english subs. Bangtan subs has the best translations on RU-vid for bts behind the scene videos

Once you've fully understood and can differentiate the members, you could even get into Bangtan Universe (it's basically the storyline that runs through most of their music videos)! There's a lot of content you'd need to watch in order to fully understand it so it might even get a bit overwhelming. Of course, you don't have to since it can get really confusing but xCeleste even has some summaries and explanations on what goes on.

Thank you for your reaction🙏💜 you're so kind and humble💜💜 pls more reactions about bts....🙏🙏 one thing is BTS will never disappointed you💜 i promise🙏👌

Thank you for doing this video. Loved it!! You’re 😎 👏🏻 awesome!

You may want to check out DKDKTV they have a playlist called Kpop explained by a Korean and they have a few bts songs on there and alot of times it helps because they break down the songs and talk about the cultural thing they put in to the songs

Im so excited for you to dive into BTS' music 🥰🥰🥰

Doolset is honestly the only translation outside directly bighit that i would trust. Also some songs that are referencing korean culture, DKDKTV have some good explanation videos. Songs like Spring Day, Baepsae, Ugh, Ddaeng should always be watched with a video letting you know more in depth. Especially focus on Spring Day and Ddaeng it is a disservice to the songs to not listen to the explanation videos.

YES! LYRICS. I AM TOO SO INTO LYRICS. Just prepare yourself 😳.

doolsetbangtan is the way to go if you're looking for lyrics!!! She doesn't just translate, she always explains references to korean culture, or literature in general, and breaks down their play on words and amazing rhymes.

Yes their original videos almost always have the English cc; for some videos I recommend DKDKTV youtube channel for a Koreans explanation of the video "Springday" "Ddaeng" and "Ugh" examples of this.

There are color coded videos made by channels as 'lemoring' and 'Zaty farahni' and a few more who translate perfectly, you should check them out. And for music videos you can use subtitles💜

I know I'm late but Doolset has the most accurate lyrics! They explain the lyrics and the wordplay they use. BTS and especially the rappers are known for their different and complex wordplay and Doolset explains it very accurately. I recommend that. For some of the songs there are video explanations too. For example Ddaeng is explained by DKDKTV . Us armys say this to a lot of reactors but they tend to either forget or not notice. Don't search BTS lyrics bcoz the lyric translation videos like Lemoring and Jaeguchi are very messy and wrong. If you really have to, maybe AFTAEHYUNG and KPOP.VINE lyrics are, not the best, but better that the first ones. Again, You may have already known this. Just wanted to comment bcoz I like your reactions!

Yeah I agree. I always try to find perfect words to translate, lots of time, it's better explaining the meanings but to just lay out the words. I'd also like to know the links who actually can translate them.

The only reactions which I don’t skip the talking bits.💜💜💜

about translations: for a lot of the songs that don't have a MV with subtitles you'll find fan made lyric videos, but don't rely on those. For a better option you can check @doolsetbangtan on twitter or the blog doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/ That's the best place for translations because it goes in-depth and even explain the word play they use in a big part of their songs, with sometimes double and triple entendre.
