The EMOTIONAL BTS 'FESTA 2022' Dinner Party! (Reaction) 

i started crying not because they re taking a break but more so because i feel bad that they pressured themselves and had all of these feelings because they never want to dissapoint us.

It was so overwhelming, Army's are crying, But we are also happy that they are taking a hiatus. Coz they have been constantly working for 9 yrs for us. They must be worn out. They deserve the positive energy and happiness that they spread among us. We will always support them and utilize this time to grow better with them, and BTS💜 ARMY'S will comeback stronger. And I'm excited, we wld get more content from each f them individually. Hope you survive this Seb, love you.

This really was a roller-coaster of emotions. The fact that they were feeling so vulnerable and didn't know what direction to go in breaks my heart. I feel so guilty and selfish knowing we were waiting for a world tour announcement when they going through this. I have so much respect for them. I am so proud of them. I love them so much. And I will always support all seven of the members wholeheartedly.

This is literally that line of "I'm gonna find myself first and by the time I come back home to you - we're gonna be better."

They are hurt and suffering and could not tell us, seeing them so vulnerable and hurt makes me sad. As Jimin and RM said, we will continue to grow with them, be there, support and always love them regardless of the route they take so till the day we all can be happy without thinking of the rules in the world. 💜

OMG I get goosebumps from the realization that literally all ARMYs were crying 🥺

Don't worry ARMY, BTS will still be doing group activities like run bts together, they are just taking a break from making new group songs for a while. Instead they will each release a solo album to grow as individuals in order to make even better music afterwards together for ARMYs!

BTS being genuinely kind and sincere people are one of the many reasons why ARMY are so protective over BTS. so many people will say we are over protective and they are probably right but with the amount of shit they have to go through we have very good reason to be. they deserve this break so much and i hope with all my heart that gives them all the peace and happiness they so desperately deserve. 💜

Army's are sobbing because it was so overwhelming, and I am one of them, but we're glad they're taking a break. Because they have been working for us nonstop for the past nine years. They must be exhausted. They are deserving of the great energy and joy that they provide to us. We will always support them and use this time to help them grow as individuals, and BTS will return even stronger. And I'm looking forward to that since we'll receive more stuff from each of them separately. And remember Seb, that we are here with u

Idk about y'all but I'm still crying i felt so heavy and when Joon chocked on a sob Man.. i will keep supporting them bc i love them sm but it broke my heart "someday" seems so far i hope they take as much time as they want to find their individual selfs and passion for music again

1:27:44 Yes!!!! a friend asked me, so what makes them so special? my answer?-- You never see any performers at their level of stature who are so down to earth! And then a couple days later, hopefully she could see what I meant, when eg JK said in the press room of the White House "we are still surprised that music created by South Korean artists has been able to reach so many and cross language and cultural barriers"...... But those of us who have been watching them be real in videos like this know how truly rare their down to earthness, purity and service orientation are and yes, Sebastine, they are a treasure, so wonderful to know that people like them even exist 😭

Seeing Namjoon cry and drink that much just broke my heart.

Seb, I get you. They’ve restored my faith that there are genuinely good people out there and they helped me meet other good people 💜. ARMY forever+Bangtan forever

When I fell for BTS (BabyARMY - March 2022), there was a touch of Sorrow to the Realisation. Now there were Seven More Humans for whom my heart would break if they were harmed. But ARMY is a Positive Force in this Universe, and We Hold All in a Space of Light & Love 🫰🏾💜🌌💙

When namjoon started crying I lost 😭😭😭😭😭😭 fudge the amount of respect I have for bts is huge! I will promise to support you all in the future. Thank you for staying strong though out the years. God will blessed you guys more It hurts 😭😭 I can't imagine the pain he endure after all this years. Sending virtual hugsssssss thank you namuuu and bts for staying strong! We will forever support you guys no matter what. Stay healthy and strong! We will comeback even stronger BANGTAN ARMY FOREVER

There comes a point in life where they must put themselves first and I totally understand that. I was feeling a little upset at first, I've never even seen them live and it's been my dream to. But, their happiness comes first. I sobbed through this video, I just hope they get rejuvenated in the way they need and come back stronger and I hope they stay true to themselves. It's amazing that they've realized that their music isnt reflecting what they want and the message they wanna give. It's amazing they dont even want to be that insincere to army. They're angels I love them so much. Army loves u so much BTS.

💜 You are so right they are a gift from heaven. 7 very special people 💜 loved your reaction, I still cried watching it again with you. As long as BTS are happy ARMY will be happy 💜

No matter how many times i watched this,i still cried😭

Seeing Namjoon cry absolutely broke me. I could not stop crying. They kept saying that they don't want to disspoint us and im like "you guys could never"😭😭😭❤ we will support them no matter what

You're a good guy Sebastine - stay well and thank you for being authentic.

There's nothing that have to sad about at all....cuz the contents are more now. Their albums, shows and especially the return of RUN BTS!! just no grp performances or concerts. That's all! And as suga said, they are not gonna die anytime soonㅋㅋㅋWe'll be getting more information upon the military enlistment and other stuffs about their personal life....They'll be so happy and so we too have to be ryt? It must have been so hard for them like wth even! Working for almost 10+ yrs continuously....They'll be back with grp musics one day but not any time soon i guess. But ofc, they'll together do their solos and all behind the cameras and on cameras too cuz we are getting the RUN BTS Y'LL!! This break may cause them lose lot of opportunities and all but this proves that BANGTAN AIN'T ABOUT POPULARITY AND AWARDS! BANGTAN IS DIFFERENT....they are different from any other artists! WE ARE GETTING 7ALBUMS AND RUN BTS Y'LL!! RIP MY HEARTEU!!🥲🥲🥲

its really hurt, but life goes on! the best moment is yet to come!💜

You know the whole time I was watching this, a thought kept popping into my head. I remember being on tiktok and hearing another content creator ask what is the hardest part about being a K-pop stan. And a beautiful creator answered that being more a part of the problem than the solution is the hardest thing. And all I could think of was the fact that we wanted them to tour and make more music. People complained about Dynamite Butter and Permission to Dance... People complained about PTD on Stage.... So many people complained about the fact that we were only getting a few new songs on this album and about it being an anthology. And the whole time they are literally cruising toward a burnout, pushing through just for us, and feeling so torn and tormented inside. This is what that creator meant. We were the reason behind them not being able to take this break sooner and them feeling guilty for wanting and needing to take time for themselves. And probably for the first time we are able to give them something without them having to give to us first. We can show them that nothing will ever change the love that we have for them. That when you sign up to be ARMY it's for life 💜. And every army is a ot7 Stan, so we're going to support each and everyone of them as individuals just as we do when they're a group. I'm so glad that they're taking a break and pursuing things that make them happy individually. This it was long overdue and even in the end they are more concerned about disappointing us and asking us for support and our blessing for them to focus on themselves,...that speaks volumes! I will miss them performing as a unit but if they never do perform as the members of BTS again, I'm so thankful for everything they've done over the last 10 years. I truly wish them nothing but the best and for full healing and happiness to reach their souls 💜

there's no hiatus, HYBE mistranslated their dinner party. BTS will focus more on solo works BUT they'll still continue with their group activities! they'll be taking a break from making music together & concerts for a while.

i will miss them all together for sure but i'm just so glad that they chose to do this mainly for themselves and for the group. and the fact that they disclosed this news through this festa instead of some announcement is so genuine. i hope they know that we will support them all equally and we'll stay until the end. WE'RE IN THIS BANGTAN SHIT FOR LIFE. 💜

I'm so proud of them

These people are precious. And we as an Army will always support them. We are grateful to be able to meet these purest souls. They helped us get through the tough times, and I am glad they opened up with us otherwise we won't be able to know what they are going through. Let's be happy and healthy everyone. Best is Yet To Come💜

I've been crying too the past couple of days. But I know they really need time for themselves to grow and live the life they want. You are a true Army. Hugs from Cali.

My headache hasn't recover yet from crying so much yesterday because of this festa party... I feel so sad that they have to apologize for taking a break from the group comebacks and instead focusing on solo albums and taking rest. They have been working for 9 years constantly, so of course they need to have time for themselves and focus on what they want. Army, just be happy for them and support each and every members for their solo career.

You are a true ARMY.

"afobangfo" is short for "Army forever Bangtan forever" 💜 it's a phrase jungkook created that bts and army often use now :)

Nope I gotta save this for later. Was gonna try to watch it but I actually have a stomach ache from bawling my eyes out last night watching the FESTA. That shit was painful 😭💔 I can't get that clip of Namjoon breaking down out of my head. I gotta take a break for a couple days, but I just wanna say to everyone who is sad (including me) dont worry! Like Suga said, this is necessary for the group's success and health and we have to support them no matter what. Our boys are exhausted, and rightfully so. Let's cheer them on now, even if they are just resting and doing nothing. They've earned it 👏💜💜💜💜

In a way I'm actually quite excited for this whole thing. I could kind of feel a change in sincerity in their recent work and also had a bit of a BTS burnout that slowly started around the Butter era. As stated, it's not like they're breaking up or that their group activities are going to stop completely. We'll get more musical content (SEVEN whole albums!!!) and the return of Run BTS as well. Sure, we want BTS to be as a group, but I'm so so happy that they've made this decision for themselves, and in the long run, ARMY as well since they will be able to perform and create art with more sincerity and passion when they get together again. Maybe it's also just because I'm a blink as well and the four members being together is like a special occasion but whatever lol. The only thing deliberately sad about this is that they've been feeling this way since post-ON era, which is a long time to be suffering with this. To have this many people look up to you, to be at your absolute best and then suddenly losing your identity after fighting for it for so long sounds horrible. I'm sure this next period is going to be very interesting, fun and new to BTS and ARMY.

40:25 spitting so much facts bro. what yoongi said hits HARD

I’ve been teary for their exhaustion since yesterday. They have worked so hard for us and I love them so much. Tae knew this was coming and stayed up on vlive to watch the live show remind us they are still with us. JK went on Vlive to remind it’s ok today. Our maeknaes are stepping up to show Army love while the Hyungs are feeling emotional. Let’s keep supporting these beautiful chaotic guys in chapter 2 solo albums and rest we hope.

Info: According to a statement from Hybe via press, BTS solo projects plan is not a ‘hiatus’ as they will still be working on projects as a group, as well as individually. “BTS are not taking a hiatus. Members will be focusing more on solo projects at this time. J-Hope will release their first solo album in the middle of next month. Don't worry Army they're always with us and please support and love all seven of them no matter what ♡

I am sad but happy. It is good to know that they are taking a break and having more time to rest and grow. I am so excited for when they come back. Thank you BTS for making ARMY happy.💜

they are the humblest inspite their popularity and stature. very rare in this world.

Sebastine, I don’t believe you are drunk because you talk with sooo much intelligence. I always love what you say.💜

I know it's a sad moment and I had tears flowing down my face. I don't think any eyes where dry after watching this. I know this was about to happen, but we have to support there decision. It was hard for them more than was hard for us. But hey renuion will be even much better.

Subscribed💜there’s not much reactors like you. Thank you for showing your vulnerable side in regards to BTS. Not a lot of reactors can be this genuine. OT7 4 life!!!!

When we listen to RM's speech we understand how much they train and format idols so that they are perfect.... No need to rest, never tired..... It's so sad!!!

Seeing them tears makes me sad i will always love them forever and root for them and their future activities as group or individually we will wait for them

Thank you Sebastian, I'm glad you were feeling this as much as I was. I didn't mind the tipsy-ness. 😁 I think we all need to feel this and let it out. And yes, thank God for these 7 wonderful individuals. 💜

In addition to being exhausted from the pace they work at, they’re under so much pressure. They’ve been the biggest earner for Big Hit/HYBE for years, and are even called out as huge contributors to the economy of their country. The whole COUNTRY. That’s just crazy and must feel so overwhelming at times. They deserve a break and to figure out what they want to do. This was amazing, and even though they still keep a lot close to their hearts, they share so much with us. And I hope their openness and prioritizing their wellbeing sets a good example for other groups. Seeing them cry always gets me, but seeing them talk about how tired they’ve been really hurts.

Thank you for being so transparent with your emotions, and for the genuine reaction you've shared. We as ARMY definitely shared the same flood of emotions you had while watching this dinner our BTS men shared with us. My heart hurt with your closing statements, and I cried along with you, as I also feel they were heaven sent, they are a gift, and we're lucky to have been in the same time period as them to witness such love, talent, and beautiful humanity from such pure souls. I am so glad that I found BTS, and I will look forward to their new endeavors, but will mourn the pain they've had to endure by holding back for us. Thank you Sebastine(Michael) Borahae

I've watched this for 5 times already and still crying..

I agree with you, people like BTS need to be protected! They have the most beautiful and pure heart. They are a gift from heaven. ❤🙏🏻

Its okay. Were reacting like this cuz BTS is like our parents. The first time we see someone like Namjoon break, it makes us realize they are also humans and not invincible and also feel pain. We will still be army and they will still be bts, well just see a diff side we never seen before from all seven. save up now thats 7 albums!

JK making a toast at the end: 아포방포 (A Po Bang Po) means Army Forever! Bangtan Forever!

I’m really glad that they’re taking a rest for a while… Honestly for the past couple years(covid-19) I’ve been listening to our songs from earlier albums(of course I do listen since the debut..but especially I’m struggling like others after the lockdown)… I was really blessed when they released Be album…Dynamite,Butter PTD,Film out… but I really treasure every single of their work… So I’m truly glad 😭😭😭🫧

BTS/방탄소년단 has been entertaining us over the last 9 years, non-stop! all without going totally bonkers! so if these guys need a few years to focus on their personal projects. Why not! it’s well deserved.

Honestly already figured out what they was going to do before this dinner cause I noticed how they set up the new album putting old songs from different albums together what confirmed my theory was the new songs from the album yet to come and run BTS basically said it all but of course I'm sad but I love them so I'm for them they are not disbanding just working on there solo albums and other things they will be fine they went through a lot of stress all these years they need time to them selves after all them Years living together and everything that why they live separately now

i did 😢...omg...so proud and will still be a supportive army wateva they gonna do in the coming days weeks month and years...apobangpo bts 💜💜💜

At least its just a time where they will focus more on solo projects while finding themselves again. Its never end of BTS. BTS is forever. After all of their solo things, group will come again. And we will still have things like RUN BTS. They will never leave us 💜💜

Love you Michael ❣️ You are so precious.

당신은 ~찐 아미입니다 사랑합니다💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜

Thank you so much for your reaction. I really got emotional too by watchin them speak from their hearts. And thank you for your words. We really need to protect them from all bad. All they deserve is to be happy. Forever BTSXARMY

Don't worry I cried too... the moment Rm started to cry i lost it.

Upon watching your reaction I realized they changed Yoongi’s subtitles from “we are taking a hiatus now” to “we are taking a temporary break”

Apo Bangpo!!! I rewatched this BTS dinner festa for more than 10 times now since June 14 ,still crying everytime I see RM cry 😢 😭 💜, but this break BTS is having,they truly deserve it since they've given us ARMY more than what they got. Agree, they really are gifts 🎁 from heaven. Once an ARMY, always an ARMY. Loving BTS forever!!!

In crying!!!! TWO YEARS of my life and I'm So grateful for knowing these people. My life is so much more better than it was. They really are a gift from heaven. Anyways ARMY let's all celebrate our ups and downs together. APO BANGPO ARMY!!!!!!🎉

It was a rollercoaster yesterday. But I’m confident that BTS are doing what’s best for them. I’m so happy they are taking the time they need. They are such givers. It’s time we gave back to them. Give them support. And time. And love. I can’t wait to see what they do next 💜 #Borahae

This is so heartbreaking. To hear them apologize for wanting to rest and recharge. We will support your solo projects bangtan while waiting for your comeback as 7 again. Be happy and healthy always!

Black Swan makes so much more sence now😭

I feel you Bruh I’m tears running through my cheeks and I have to let them go for them to grow cuz I love them so much ……Borahae BTS

you know the day of the festa, three friends got together to celebrate the anniversary with champagne and food, and we all ended up crying hugging HAHAHA

I still remember your 1st reaction to them... and look at you now... I'm sure they all had a positive impact in our lives... They made us be better persons, for sure... Hang on in there Sebastine, much love from Portugal! 💜

Wow Seb...you got me choked up again. But you said it, it's hard to believe such good people exist. We are grateful for what BTS has given, and the connections we have made because of them. 💜

I'm so glad you said that because I've been ARMY for just a few months but I am thanking God all the time for the gift of BTS. Army Forever Bangtan Forever💜💜💞💞

Our bts can't wait for us. We love and protect our Bts forever.. . 😥

This was overwhelming and good at the same time they were able to let us know all that they are feeling and the hardships they were keeping side , I cried all day but at the same time i will support them no matter what path they choose and I love them so much. Bts & Army 💜💜💜💜💜

The best is yet to come... The second chapter is starting. Let's see it like a good thing. 💜

Our seven boys really do need break because they have work so hard to achieve their goals and music. Us Army's are really going to miss our seven boys a lot, but I know one thing is for sure we will be here waiting to spend the next chapter together again. Thank you BTS and Army's for the wonderful year's we spent together 💜💜💜💜 😢.

JHOPE is coming back in July 2022, 💜 we definitely are going to be kept fed just from 7 different sources it's gonna be amazinggggggg, ARMY let's support all 7 of them please

Oh im gonna cry again.... 😔

I feel like I should drive around the Beltway and give you an Auntie hug! Apobangpo means ARMY Forever, Bangtan Forever! Amen to that! 💜

Living together like a family establishes the foundation of a very special bond but also means competition.. fighting a little harder to maintain space and boundaries etc...living apart takes the emphasis off boundaries and space etc..it's so sad but it's the natural order of things..as in any family...kids grow up move out..hybe is kinda like mom and dad's house...just have to hope and have faith they'll never forget where home is or each other no matter where their journeys take them.

I'm still crying when see this..even how many times ....BTS..💜💜💜

I had seen the Festa dinner before but knew I would enjoy it with your company. I always seem to be sync with your comments .... You mentioned this is the first time you've been kind of inebriated on camera. You don't show that too much so and actually it was a fantastic time spent with you. Thank you for uploading. I knew once you started talking about burnout that you had been through it. All of us can reach burnout I'm a woman and I reached a burnout being a goddamn waitress! I had salt shakers thrown at me and cursed across the room. Life is strange. Let's all get through it. Bless these young men for their incredible stamina and insights into their life and may they soon find their way back to us as the full-fledged BTS that they are!! I'm looking forward to the individual albums especially Jimin, JK and Hobi! However each and every one of them will be welcome and wow !, we better get our pocketbooks ready! Seven albums OMG

Thank you for sharing this moment with us, it's been a ride! We gotta get ready for all those albums bc they gonna slap so hard!

This is our chapter 2 everyone. I'm so glad all army are on the same page. The media has been twisting shit. At least we army are all on the same page and we get what they are trying to do. They are building it up for a wholesome chapter 2. I can't wait for their 7 albums and all the fun we gonna have.

I really respect them, and they really are a gift from God, and they inspire me to be who I am and stand up for myself I literally love them so much. also make sure to take care of Ya'll selves

agree, they deserve the best!!! OT7 i will support them 100% 7 albums 7 different projects im exited!! nd blessed that i had the opportunity to see them in LA live… my 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 we will be fine…. they will be fine BTS/ARMY for ever

you're also someone who gives me faith in humanity ❤

I think I’m very lucky for being born in the same century with them 😭😭 💜

Omg I can’t see them cry! And you are so precious 🫂 they do deserve the world! 😭

Sincerely from the bottom of my soul as Old Army, I lost myself and they too, I need time and they too, I lost my essence and I'm proud of myself and the boys for having the maturity to accept that it's not the same anymore and we need a change

There was a mistranslation BTS are not going in hiatus Suga said they are on break. They will each release an album and still film Run BTS and do other activities together some won't be filmed. They need this for mental health and obviously they are in their prime they may want to find love, that's if they haven't already.I Wouldn't be surprised if 1 or 2 of them were already married but as Jimin said they can't tell us everything. They will come back together as BTS because they are not disbanding at all. I was heartbroken because they were holding all this inside them for 2 years and have agonised about telling us. I will be watching over them always. They will be back and it will be epic.

Thank you so much for your reaction and sharing your emotions. You are a beautiful soul yourself. God bless you

I'm still crying....

BTS seriously helped me get over my divorce, but yesterday all those feelings came back so 😔 🤧

I loved how relaxed and so layback Yoongi was.

Haitus was a mistranslation of the word “off”. Time off more of group activities but will be focusing more on their solo projects.

imagine meeting the sebastine you were a day before you discovered bts lmao the conversations would be..... a lot

People like this... YES. Thank you. I'm so glad that i did not just found BTS but also the same people feeling like this through them. People like you f.e. :)

My guy mates actually thought bts had it easy for them to make money because they’re all good looking and have so many talents and on top of that amazing performers but when we all watched this…yes I sat them down to watch this…they all realised how hard it was for them and all, my guy mates were actuall teary and relating so much to them in so many ways, they’re all fans of bts songs and performances but never really saw the behind the scenes and raw side of them so this opened them up more to bts and opened a new level of respect for them.

You are right, they are a gift from heaven.

💜💜💜💜love your reaction!!!!!!

This is most definitely the best choice for BTS and ARMY. Them being on hiatus is probably the most happy and sad I’ve been for the group. But in the end it’s for the best. Love you all!
