The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS (2022 Update!)  

my guy started nodding when the video said RM losing his mohawk was the most important part lmao

Two years after this was made, Spring Day is STILL charting on Melon, and was trending #1 search on the streaming service this week! Six years after release.

46:08 dont know about other artists but i follow bts on social media and they constantly (especially RM) share and praise the music of other artists. western or non western, known or unknown, it doesn't matter. they dont shy away from complimenting other musicians' work on social media which to me is a sign of confidence.

"My favorite part about seeing old BTS is seeing RM's hairstyles" SAME

I came to BTS through Mic Drop (my young adulthood was grounded in this type of hip hop) but the depth and emotional intelligence of Blood, Sweat, & Tears is what dragged me down the rabbit hole.

"And I'm excited to see what the rest of 2022 holds in store for the group and for all of us" 😭😭😭😭 Little did he know....

Yes he's going in the proper and exact order in which they were discovered and signed.

You’re right, Jin had the natural talent for singing he didn’t realized. You know I have watched many of BTS history but I haver never seen any explanation why J Hope wanted to leave. RM’s hair 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 everyone has the same reaction. Korea, Japan and China have such a long history together, mostly not good history that it may translate easier. B,S,T is a very provocative mv. Intellectually and visually. In Korea you don’t pronounce the r. Pak. The 41 million membership does not accurately reflect the numbers of army as there is a cost to it. Many people around the world can’t afford the cost. I can afford it but I screwed up with my email info creating an account with Weverse that I haven’t been able to fix the error unless I create a second email account.

Slow and steady growth till they finally blew up! It's well deserved

48:30 - I do agree to some extent about what you said regarding the meal collabs with McD's. Based on what I've been able to look up for other artists who did it, all these meals are something that I could order on my own to some extent (with modifications). However, for BTS their meal included two different dipping sauces that were actually only available in Korea - Cajun & Sweet Chili sauce. So for about a month or so, over 50+ countries actually were given access to try the sauces for the first time ever. Many armys would also add an Oreo McFlurry to their order in honor of Tae (aka V), because we saw him get one during one of their vacations for their show Bon Voyage a few years back. [As a side note: it is always so interesting to discover what products/items McDonald's in other countries have that the US doesn't carry - often due to that place's culture and diet. Singapore & Brasil are a few examples from my own travels. Ohh and in my opinion McDonald's does taste better outside of the US]. Another thing I'll add was that McDs went all out for this meal collab - some locations even decorated their interior. And the employees wore special shirts that had McDonald's written out on them in hangul (the korean writing system). The most shocking reveal was probably seeing all the packaging being 'bora-fied' (i.e. printed purple with BTS logo on them). Soda cups, bags, boxes, etc. had the BTS logo on them! And we didn't even know they were going to do that until armys around the world started posting about it from their visits tonthe store. The U.S. definitely got the short end of the promo though - you were considered lucky if you snagged a single 'bora-fied' take out bag 😆 (The comapny's excuse was that the US was too large to make all the packaging available in time for the launch). During the launch of the BTS meal sales went up 41% world wide. And many locations sold out other items (not just the nuggets). P.S. In my area we were not charged extra for the BTS Meal. In fact my receipt would have the items listed as the 10-piece chicken mcnugget combo with a note for the sauces.

BE is definitely one of their best album ever produced by BTS members alone to show their mature of mmmakking music and their individual style of music for the momment, e.g. "Blue and Grey" pretty much set the tone of V's (Tae Tae) style and "Fly to My Room" for Jimin etc. The reason why we dont talk much about this is (my own thoughts) because we love to see you get to know BTS more before tasting BE album. Just like we usually wont suggest to watch "We Are Bulletptoof: Eternal" mv before watched most of their earlier songs' mv. Same as Yet To Come mv. But yeah, please react to their earliest songs like No More Dreams, No, We Are Bullet Proof:Part 2, Attack on BangTan, Just One Day, Baepsae, SpineBreakers, etc

Boy with Luv will hit 1 Billion on Spotify literally tomorrow😂

I should add that Hybe previously acquired Big Machine, BLMG and Valory records ( there's a 4th but I can't remember it's name). Those labels have a significant number of the biggest country and crossover stars in the US, including Taylor Swift and Rascall Flats. It's insane to think BTS went from a 1 bedroom apartment and a basement practice room under a restaurant that flooded every time it rained, to single handedly building an entertainment company that is now a significant player not just in Korea but also the US.

As you probably know BTS was snubbed again at the Grammy. And you are correct V has a keen sense of knowing BS when he sees it. I am glad they didn’t waste their time to come to the Scammys. They disrespected them by not showing a correct picture for their Yet to come MV but showed the Hyundai ad. Thank for your reactions I enjoy your comments concerning the music industry. I am a 64 year old grandmother and myself, daughter and twin granddaughters are ARMY and been to several concerts since 2019💜

If you liked the instrumental for ‘No More Dream’ please watch the armypedia live performance, it’s so good. I’ve said this before but whoever arranges BTS’s live music is a G

Firmly with you on the "they aren't family just because they're HYBE artists" train.

@20:05 every time i hear that first 5 seconds of the song, it makes me wanna listen deep cover. Its not the same, it just reminds me of that. There was an era where these types of beats were used a lot.. BTS just made it into their own with little bit of that.

American Hustle Life was one of the first things I watched when I first found BTS. Somehow I watched the entire series in 1 or 2 days. The first episode is terrible but after that it slowly gets better. There are moments that you really see the guys trying hard but as an American, there were definitely a few moments that I was seriously embarrassed. Some people were so rude to them but then you also have a few people that were very encouraging and supportive. It’s a mixed bag but an important part of their growth. I ended up very endeared by the guys attitude and how they handled themselves.

AND BTW BTS IS THE "4TH MOST AWARDED ARTIST OF ALL THE TIME" WITH A TOTAL OF 850 PHYSICAL AWARDS IN JUST NINE YEARS OF CAREER.

When jhope left he said jk cried to him asking him to stay, and that's what made jhope stay was seeing jk and how much they wanted to be a group together and they couldn't make it without everyone their how much they actually care for eachother which is really sweet.

So the jhope leaving thing, it happened after rapline had already made songs together as trainees in 2011. They released satoori rap on the internet in 2011, the first song under the name of bts. So by this time rm had probably seen how much of an influence jhope could bring to the group which is why he fought hard for jhope to stay. So the dude is wrong in saying "they had the group, they needed the music" They was already making music 😑 Also jin didn't think sm was a scam. He auditioned for sm. Then when they called him back for round 2, he ghosted them and never went back, cus... he is jin. Man is unpredictable sometimes. 😂 They did rm so dirty with that hairstyle. I blame bang pd for this. He pushed that outdated korean hiphop stereotype look on them. 😭😭😭😭 Khiphop is a whole mess of cultural appropriation. OH you should definitely watch American hustle life. That show deserves to get dragged. Blood sweat and tears is what made me army. It is one of those songs that has the ability to pull new fans. The thing is, dynamite was unplanned. Bts literally only made it cus they were bored with the pandemic and wanted something to do cus they were unable to serve in the military at the time.

It's still kind of wild to see how much happened in such a sort space of time at one point. It was slow and steady for some time then it all just blew up so rapidly. And it makes sense because I went back to their first mini album and did their discography in order. I had a good time with the first project but I could hear their growth and improvement as the albums went on. You could almost match up the the songs with the popularity boom and think "Yeah that makes sense. This tracks."

It's hilarious to me but i do think the first BTS song I ever heard was Dope. So it really was my first time with them 😂 i was listening to their stuff back in 2016-2017 but didnt become army til 2020. Became army cus my really good friend didnt have anyone really close to them that they could talk about BTS with. I say i became army in July cus that is when i started (Dynamite was my first comeback) but I declared myself army officially in October when watching the Map of the Soul ON:E online concert. I was a little weary about their genuineness with their fan and love til I saw Jimin have an absolute breakdown on stage over how much he missed the fans. Genuinely one of the most painful things I've ever seen and I knew that kind of emotion couldnt be faked. That's when my "I'm in this Bangtan shit for the afterlife too" era began.

Thank you!!!! Been waiting for this. You are awesome!

BTS from nobodies to legends 2019💜

I'm definitely here for your version of No More Dream 🤟🏾💜

I just want to say this about the Grammy’s, a lot of people saying that the Grammy’s was racist, etc….. Grammy’s have always been shady, it has nothing to do with their race. It’s not based off of popularity or talent, big wigs go into a room and they vote for whatever reason, no one knows. They decide the winners, they already knew they weren’t going to give BTS the award, they wanted the views. Just like they did with other artist that should have won, didn’t. Grammys has always been shady, BTS doesn’t need them, they need BTS.

I really like your reactions 🤣 RM aka Namarcus trying to forget his early hair and you stopping at every opportunity to point it out🤣. Also learned something new, mullets and terrible footwear aka Crocs are your arched nemesis 🤣 dude the tangets! I personally never watched the entire episodes of Hustle Life...and the little I saw was as everyone says "cringey". I guess I'm watching it now 🤷.

As always, I love watching your unique perspective on your BTS journey down the rabbit hole! By the way, sorry but Army loves our boys in mullets! The longer, the better 😂

It was pop duo/ group PERFORMANCE at the Scrammys 2022, how Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga win against Bts PERFORMANCE, after Bts stop going to Scrammy and now are in the military no one watch Scrammys Scrammys views online after Bts stopped on 8 milion ...When Bts did their lives after Scrammys to thank the fans this live had 30 milion 😂

I've finally finished all of your BTS stuff, though I know more is coming. Loving your journey so far, the fact you watched all of the BTS vs videos and now Rise of Bangtan and The Most Beautiful Life. wow. I look forward to more videos and I'm excited for you to discover more during this journey.

Mic Drop has 3 versions, the Original version, the remix with Steve Aoki and another remix with both Steve Aoki and Designer. their song Idol also has a remix with Nicki Minaj, they also came out with a song with Benny Blanco and Snoop Dogg last year. they also got Megan Thee Stallion on Butter for a remix.

rm’s hairstyles it’s so funny 😭😭😭😭😭

I like what you said about the family aspect. I love what you said about it doing a disservice to what BigHit and BTS accomplished. 100% facts.💜

American Hustle Life is an interesting one. I think the show was instrumental in helping them to push out of their comfort zone and grow as artists. Mistakes were made and a lot of ARMY are particularly bothered by the first episode, but it really does get better after that.

Coldplay was nominated for High power and BTS for Butter in the same category in Grammy (2022) (that’s why Jhope mentioned Chris) In 2023 BTS was nominated for Yet to Come and My universe (Coldplay X BTS). Unfortunately they didn’t win but like the guy says in the video it doesn’t really make any difference for us or BTS. In the end of the day BTS is making more money and breaking way more records than a lot of the artists that wins in this award show 💁🏾‍♀️

Just started the video just want to comment on the names with hyphens! I am not Korean and didn't research a lot on it but most Korean names are 3 syllables total. Last name 1 syllable and first name is 2 syllables. The last name indicates the clan (and origin/place) and 2nd sylable of the first name is the level in the clan. The 5 main clans/family names in Korea are Kim, Lee, Jung, Park, Choi (and variations of these names). For example SUGA is Min Yoon-Gi. The Min clan is smaller but historically an important and royal clan. And the "Gi" part is predetermined because it refers to a generational name and so determines his level in the clan I believe. Each clan in Korea has a common patrilineal lineage/ a common ancestor. I think the practice of giving the predetermined generational part of the first name is slowly getting lost though. So basically just by giving their names a lot of people can tell where their ancestors are from, if they are distant "cousins" and which one is the "oldest" generation.

It's a follow because you have fabulous comments, which says something as an Army 💜

Lmao not knuckles 🤣🤣🤣🤣 awwwww how far our boys have grown since the early days.

They are really the bts-starter-packs, I really like watching these Videos to see if I like the Style of reaction and I think it really says a lot how people pay attention/comment because in my opinion you can tell when they just do it for clicks or so

Thanks for continuing to check out more BTS music and related content! I feel like watching some of these intro videos after your somewhat familiar with them actually helps make the info stick more, and they all explore their rise from a slightly different angle (this one is heavy on the charts and numbers for instance). Once you get to the MVs that are part of the Bangtan Universe, I recommend starting with xCeleste’s breakdown of the BU on it’s own first. Individual MV explanations will also dig deeper. Cheers!

Today Hybe purchased Quality Control Music which is the label for Migos, Lil Baby, Lil Yaghty and Cardi B. Bang PD and BTS are buying the whole American music industry.

Sometimes ARMYs get astonished realizing that they planned something they're doing now 10 years ago.

You need to watch butter "hotter" remix its so funny

45:30 RIGHT? I mean, everytime someone plugs groups as "they are in the same company as BTS" in the comments, I cringe a lot. PLUS the only "family"-group they have is TXT (for real, they meet each other members at home and stuff), and their label is Big Hit Music (as for TXT and Lee Hyun, all the other groups belong to completely different labels, now operating with Hybe money). I linked you some "yearly communication meetings" from the company (in another video) that they publicly released here in YT explaining "all" their moves, achievements, next plans... And as we've explained before, only BigHit Music from all this new conglomerate has a special treatment as it's private. Protecting BTS (and the other 6 artists there too) this way. There is an interview where they asked them if the Justin Bieber collab would come soon (I don't know why some faction is obsessed with that), to which RM said "I don't know, we are in the same company now so Justin, "friend", if you see this, call us" XD like he's so 100 for these things. PS. I must say BTS members promote (in instagram that is! They have personal accounts) anyone and everyone. They were recommending WAP when they were in the fight for #1 against this song with Dynamite, they promote any song/artist they like, even if they don't have anyone to be reciprocated. They don't hold back and they are honest about that.

american hustle life is so cringe but you’ll cry laughing it’s so funny 😭

when they are not together that's where i feel sad💜😔

Noooo i cant with u making fun of joon's hair 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

YEs, he's going in the correct BTS selection order :)

23:20 YES! And the dancing too it could be a NeYo thing!

About the rice thing, I think you are right. "you make jokes about this, lemme claim that joke for myself" (like Steven He makes "chinese father" videos with an accent) Rice is widespread staple food not only in many Asian countries but in South America too (Spanish colonizers brought the Asian one and Portuguese brought the African one :_)). So you'll find A LOT of rice-based dishes (as well as beans and chicken ^^) - Half my family is from Venezuela/my grandparents emigrated there in the 50s and I have a lot of Colombian and Chilean friends. When they see me eating a lot of rice, they say I look "latina", when my KR/JP friends see me they say I look Asian, when my African (mostly Cameroon and Nigeria) friends see me, they say I look "African"... So what I've gathered is that people that eat a lot of rice, accept everyone as family and bonds over food ;P PS. I didn't know about the watermelon thing O_o Thanks!!!

And from april 2022 until now, a lot of more things happened lol, but this video was extremely necessary, thanks for the reaction.

Yeah, this intro vid has too many numbers and not enough heart. But I appreciate that you sat through it like I did when I was a baby ARMY.

explaining 12:51 for u.. its the correct order of selection. signed to bighit: jin & then jk..join their dorm: jk & then jin (still on campus that time). all rappers at 1 time actually left bighit & came back. rm, because of the dancing..suga, because of car accident aka shoulder injury.. jhope, as he said in this clip.. all rappers in their former underground/street group at respective provinces. rm:runch randa, group: dae nam hyup. suga:gloss, group: d-town. jhope:smile hoya (translated to eng), group: neuron. u can find those old contents all over yt & website/blog. i dont remember the said 3 province, sorry

And how positive their msg is for everyone 🐳

Yessss!! *"American Hustle Life"* I'll be watching it again with you!! 😁👍💜 *Edit: Yes, a bit cringy but you'll be able to witness their growth & maturity as Artists. An experience to have indeed and they were definitely grateful for it. 💜

Great Reaction as usual! The song 'No more dream' 20:09 samples 1992's 'Deep cover' from Dr.Dre, featuring Snoop Dog in Snoop's first recording. It was from the soundtrack of a movie by the same name. I look forward to your spin on that track.

well the BTS meal is the most sold. it sold out the first day and everytime they restocked it sold out in minuts there are tweets from Indonesia under the luckdown where delivery persons was lines up outside the mcd it was crazy. and the meal was not on all mcd we didn´t have it in my country. so normal people was not able to buy it hehe. they where not prepared for the sales to go up under the pandemic but it was a good tactic

Preach! 46:00 BTS little brother is actually TxT, they have such a good supportive relationship and been together when Bighig still small and poor.

Thank you for reacting to this mini docu of our BTS 🫰🏼

Lol this is definitely one of the bts starter pack vids lol You gonna see a lot of mullets before enlisting cuz it’s tradition for Korean celebrities to grow their hair out a bit before the buzz cut🤣

They're going by the order they got into the company. The order you usually see is either by age (Jin, Suga, Jhope, RM, Jimin, V, Jungkook) or fanchant (RM, Jin, Suga, Jhope, Jimin, V, Jungkook)

Made it to the end. Yes, sir.

Aaaaaaaaah my favorite one 💜

19:13 Aaaayyyy fellow ADHD pal! Ngl I had a feeling it might be the case because you're so passionate and so good at grasping information in between the lines! 💜 Anyways, when BTS first debuted I didn't like them much.. I used to think they were "posers" haha I loved their first two songs and the lyrics, but their whole getup was so incongruent and i didn't like the idea of them "wearing" hip-hop and black culture as a concept like they would do with a school concept or sexy concept. But the music was good so I ended up becoming a casual fan... Then Dope happened! I was feeling really down on myself back then, I was poor, hungry, tired and questioning whether I should keep working towards my dream. I felt resentful that I was working so hard, the path was still long and I had no money or time to have fun like people my age... I was also surrounded by people who kept telling me to give up already and that I was not smart enough for the path I chose. Dope is the song I needed at that time and it created a forever place in my mind for BTS since 💜 I've achieved my biggest dream now, and so have they! They're music still speaks to me, now that we're "on the other side" of that dream :)

This vid helps bring things together......it helps gather your thoughts and helped me realize how powerful they are.

Hey Jurnalist. You had me laughing today with your commentary! I always enjoy your reactions and glad you watch this video as well. What did you call it the BTS beginner's pack lol! Thanks again and looking forward to your remix of BTS' No More Dream. 💜

I was supposed to finally see them in 2020 on tour. I was supposed to graduate with all my friends, have celebrations, go to prom, have parties, fly to South Korea to see my boys…none of that ever happened. All celebrations were canceled basically immediately, our prom fell through, we didn’t even get a proper last day of school. It was March 13th. At 2 pm there was an announcement through the speakers: „This will be your last day of school until further notice due to the spread of the covid 19 virus.“ And that was it. We went outside, we cried, we drank, we hugged. It was hard to say the least. And when that speech was broadcasted…I sat there on the couch and I just cried. In this whole mess that had become my life at 18, RM sat down and told me it was okay and comforted me and promised we’d be alright. And he was right, and they’ve always been right there, just like he said. They aren’t just singers or artists. They’ve been my friends, my safe zone, my older brothers. That’s what makes them special. They’re reliable :)

RMs hair during Boy in Luv was sometimes compared to Vanilla icecream and the neon yellow one was called a tennisball😂 His Hair was wild the first few years

There's so much info packed into this video,it's well done.I can't wait for Bts' disney + documentary to drop.

Thank You for the reaction love it💜💜💜💜💜

V's facial expression in 43:05 was🤔, lol Thank u for reaction

The first iteration of this video was fun to watch, even though there was a bit of misinformation. But what can I say, I get goose bumps when BTS's growth and achievements are presented in a fast paced edit. But the update, part of it is how he presented the information, and part of it is how he is dressed, I just can't get into it. Also the name of the channel prior was Azn Theory, I'm not exactly sure how rebranding as Rice Squad seemed like the better business option. This video is skippable now, with the Bangtan 7 introduction and The rise of bangtan there really doesn't need to be much else other than the music and other videos where the guys are speaking for themselves.

16:55 In that photo you have Supreme Boi too!! Before he said "f* it, imma be just a producer"

American Hustle life is as real as any other "reality show". Not real at all and pretty cringy, except for Ms Iris (who is the inspiration for the movie Sister Act 2.).

Just I personally was never a fan of this video. It’s not like information isn’t good, but it’s mixed with his narration/way he presents which seem to be based on his own assumptions (not knowing reasons/context & such) therefore making statements that I consider accurate or can lead to misinformation. A lot of new armys were into it during the pandemic, so they keep asking ppl to react to it. Although, I’m glad he updated the video (probably some army educated him), he still kept some of the same stuff. But that’s okay, because any one video (or person) can’t teach you everything about them (or any one you meet) and it isn’t like the end all be all way to learn. You could be a fan for few years, and still realize you’ve misunderstood/misbelieved the wrong thing all along lol.

i literally 😂 when you asked if Jin was for the streets 😂😂😂

Withhold judgement... you already called him 'D' head. 😏😏

they didn't charge extra here and they had new sauces which I wish they'd bring back

47:52 when you said music jurnalists are suck you made me laugh can you please check out NAMJOON BEING FLUENT IN PASSIVE AGRESSIVENESS you wont regret it💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Good Job! Waiting patiently for No More Dream remix.....

You can correct me if I am wrong but I believe Scooter Braun personally owns Taylor Swift's masters not Ithaca Holdings (the company). And as for Jin not following up with SM entertainment - there is a practice with some agencies in Korea where they will sign you as a trainee but in the end you owe them for all the training. It's like getting approached on the street by a modelling agency with them telling you that you are special and have what it takes only to go to the agency and find out they want you to pay thousands of dollars for the so called training with no guarantee of a career when it is done. This is one of the reasons why many families (or parents) don't like the idea of their kids wanting to be 'Idols' because of the debt it brings to the family and no guarantee that you will actually make it to debut or even get placed in a group. Part of the reason why some of the members joined Big Hit was because they did not have the 'debt' clause in their company.

I’m so happy you watched this doc 💜💜💜💜

PARK / PAK: In the United States, when people migrated and told the customs officials their names, that official gave a "best guess" as far as how to write them down in English. Imagine meeting someone who speaks Korean for the first time and they say 박 (Pak). You might guess that they have an accent as if a British person said "park". That's the quick and dirty way to explain why many Korean Americans and Koreans translate their family name into "Park". IDK how Anderson pronounced it, and he has every right to say it as he wishes, but to pronounce it like "pack" is not the Korean pronunciation.

Stay safe, positive and healthy Love and support from the Philippines ^_^

RM hairstyle did a 180° backflip over the years LOL. You're checking out the outfits? my personal favourite is the GOLF era xd

La cara de RM y de los chicos cada vez que tenían que hacer entrevistas en US, estaban hartos de esas preguntas estúpidas 🙄

Thank you for calling bs on this vid when needed. I'm not the biggest fan of this one but I liked your reaction. Thanks, have a good one 💜

51:40 IT'S WHAT I BEEN SAYING LIKE WHYYYY 😭😭😭 No one looks good with it, the only person I saw look good with it was Taehyung during the LY Tear era

The McDo meal wasn't overpriced at all, it was regular price!! It was even somewhat cheap (here in Europe at least). What was special was merch collab, McDo staff shirts in Korean and packaging with purple motives and BTS logo all over it (I have mine xD had to go to Austria to get it, because they didn't sell it in Germany mfs... ¬¬). Prices: here you get only 6 or 9, the price for 9 with a menu was 8€ (now 8.89) and we got 10 nuggets menu for 7€ :) so no price bullying here ;) They are good people and their company too xD

HYBE America just acquired QC music.

The OGs on American Hustle life are Warren G and Coolio. Coolio was rude. WarrenG was nice asf to them and have advice and took them around the block in Long Beach. They met the lady who Sister Act 2 was written after and she complimented V’s soulful voice. Some people don’t like some of the “challenges” they were put through on the show or how they were treated. Other than that it was cool seeing them actually learn and appreciate, not just take from the culture, as some assume kpop does

I’m not really sure why ppl would still want u to watch this? It doesn’t offer anything u hadn’t already been told… but makes sure to insert plenty of opinions & skewed narratives. For example, he tells this like it was a conscious decision to look specifically for a dancer like Jhope, or missing a spark & looking for a Jimin. That’s not how or why auditions are held. Companies hold auditions to look for talent & sometimes find exceptional individuals. Also, he gives the narrative that the company signed the members in this order, but that’s not true either. Like, JK was signed to BigHit before Jin, but his 13yr old butt didn’t move into the BTS dorm until the day after Jin. The storyline is also presented in a way that isn’t linear. Example of this is when he mentions Jhope wanting to leave the company. It’s presented in a way that makes u think this was done early on, but occurred even after other members were a part of the group. Like, it’s been mentioned how badly JK took the news of Jhope wanting to leave. As an Vintage Army, I have problems with a lot of these origin story videos bc of misinformation, much of which has been told so often many act/think like it’s fact. Once he gets past the member introductions section, he does better with the group’s career timeline. Again, minus the insertion of his opinions. Anyways, always glad to see another reaction. Thanks!

What's really interesting is I just found out recently that Jhope was actually the first of all the guys in the group to sign with BigHit. I think a lot of people think it was RM. But according to what Jhope's dance academy teacher from when he was younger, and the guys themselves, have said... Jhope apparently was already signed to BigHit as a dancer and he was already a trainee. So I think RM was the first to be signed to BigHit for the group specifically, I think thats where the misunderstanding may take place, but don't know, maybe most others don't know, just like I didn't for a very long time. But there are even clips of them talking about it, where Hobi and RM are speaking about how Hobi had signed a contract first. But it definetly makes sense in a way because Hobi was a dancer. And as for Hobi leaving sometime before they even debuted, I think Hobi left because of the pressure to be successful, etc... Remember he had been going after his dream for quite a long while by then, he literally started attending a Dance Academy at around 14 years old. And remember his mom sacrificed a lot, and even took a job working far from home to support his dancing. Jhope has spoke on this himself, not to mention he speaks about it his BTS solo song "Mama." Maybe he thought it was too hard with no guarantee of success, or that the group just wasn't going to work out, it was to much of an unsure thing, and he wanted to continue by pursuing dancing solo. Honestly only he knows the true reasoning, right. So these are just my opinions based on what I have see and heard from watching videos and reading articles, etc.... But I know we wouldn't have BTS today with out each and everyone of them. So I'm very glad he trusted the guys and decided to return. After all that is "Our Hope"💜💜💜🤗

16:52 omg...is there Supreme boi when he still in BTS trainee??

Eu gosto como você literalmente comenta tudo sobre o vídeo, mostra que está prestando atenção, e acho que isso é a coisa mais importante num react. Realmente gosto desse vídeo, além deles terem concertado algumas informações duvidosas da versão de 2020, como terem cortado boa parte da era butter (que foi uma época muito importante, em relação a recordes, vendas, apesar deles não terem lançado quase nada de música). Dessa vez eles cobriram tudo direitinho. Tem uma linguagem que faz a gente querer prestar atenção em cada tópico, mais do que vídeos sem narrador, apenas com legenda. Pra mim esse é o melhor vídeo pra se começar a conhecer eles e a carreira deles.

I totally agree with this "Family" stuff and RM mullet 😂 If you going to react to Hustle life version of their Boy in love Mv I won't be here.I watched it once and thats enough🤣😅

Honestly, I have quite a few problems with this intro (and yes, I did tell Rice Squad as they themselves suggested) but it does provide more context for certain things.

Could you please put links in the description to your work so it's easier to find 😅 I'm curious but I don't want to look for it, especially because usually I'm halfway watching your videos mostly listening to it while working out or cleaning up 😅
