The reason you don’t hear BTS on the radio is because BTS does not participate in Payola meaning paying radio stations to play their music. BTS has always been against this, they have been able to reach those 1’s and chart on Billboard solely due to ARMY..one way we give back to them is by streaming and buying..they deserve everything.
TRU THAT. that’s why I have so much respect as being army in the last 5 years and proud to be one. Stream, purchasing their album is the first and foremost we army can do amongst others things 💜
Thanks for the shoutout! Lately you’ve been popping up in our recommended feed. We’re like you, we like watching other reactors from time to time 😉. Keep up the good work! 💪🏼
I would really recommend watching Boracity Magazine. She is an Army who does video essays about BTS. Just a few videos from her I think you would enjoy: - The BTS solo promotions: favoritism or proper strategy? - Army RU-vid is a mess - Why the music industry is terrified of BTS - “The next BTS:” why they fail every time - BTS vs. radio Also I just want to say I think you are really sincere and have become one of my favorite BTS reactors over the past week. Thank you for making this content 💜💜
Yes the radio is PURPOSEFULLY not playing BTS songs! And in fact BB changed the rules multiple times to try to stop them from getting number 1. There are videos on the industry’s hate for BTS by Boracity.
They even do it with English songs. It reeks of racism to me (and I am one who hates when people use that word all the time). I am one who does radio requests for BTS members and most still do not have JK’s English songs listed for alerts, etc., and when they do it’s many weeks after the songs are released. I honestly am not surprised on the non-English songs, but when I saw they weren’t including JK’s English songs that have charted, it confirmed for me that it’s intensional.
@@Imme_begin even his English songs with western collabs did not get radio play. Which is crazy. They truly hate BTS and also want them to conform by paying to be played and they WILL NOT..
One thing you might not have noticed: 3:16 Actually that is not real suga😂 They literally spent thousands of dollars to have hologram of suga for that performance because suga was absent for 3 months due to a surgery for his longtime shoulder injury. They always missed suga and wanted to performance with him and when they came out with the hologram of suga l couldn't hold back my tears
To those who want details about suga's shoulder injury, it was during his trainer days when he worked as a deliery man for sideline at night because he was very poor that he couldn't even afford to eat proper meal. One night while he was delivering food in the dark on his bicycle, he got hit by a car and the car ran over his shoulder. It was hit and run and due to the accident, his shoulder was dislocated and that tore his labrum and rotator cuff. But he couldn't tell anybody at the agency or even the group because he feared that he would get kicked out. So he told them that he just fell down the stairs and suffered from his injured shoulder until late 2020-early 2021 when he ended up telling the company and got a surgery. He mentioned recently that he always took pain medication every show to endure the pain while dancing. This story always breaks my heart because bts choreography is known as tough and demanding movements but when l saw him performance, he was always putting his all heart to the performance and dancing so powerfully, but after knowing this story l could see in some performance that he was feeling pain while doing some movements especially lifting shoulders. didn't show his pain not even a bit. Suga ended up telling the agency about his shoulder but he decided to prioritize his activities once again since bts was starting to gain interest and popularity so it was the important period for bts, and he could endure it with pain killer injections or medicine. And then bts made a big hit in US and the fandom became huge, and his shoulder began to deteriorate even worse due to a murderous schedule and the pain became unbearable that tons of painkiller medicine or injections didn't work anymore. And it was during the summer when they were doing some kind of beverage commercials, he couldn't even lift that bottle up anymore that he and the agency finally decided to have break to get surgery If l'm getting some details incorrect, anyone's free to correct me!😂
Hey, the info looks mostly right. Just that he had to choose between having a meal or taking the bus home when he was a producer in Daegu, before he joined BigHit. When he worked as a delivery driver (with a scooter) in tandem with being a trainee, he had that car accident where he got NEARLY run over. The car didn’t run over his shoulder. I guess it was the fall that dislocated it. Nobody knows if it was a hit-and-run. No need to make it more dramatic than it already is. But yeah, the driver didn't seem to care for or help him. I guess Yoongi was so shocked that he didn't argue. Then once he was a trainee and living in the dorm he didn’t eat much or well because of depression and lack of funds for all of them. That's when Jin stepped up and became their cook. He also told the company much sooner, because they then paid for his education. But he kept his issues mostly private. Also ARMY knew about his shoulder problem for some years already (as did the rest of BTS working and living so closely together), but without many details, until he decided to tell his story in full.
@user-ij9qp7yi5m Thanks for correcting the information! l watched some videos to know about his injury but maybe l might have obtained the wrong information in some parts
@@user-vd8qg3pp8tYoongi was scared to tell the company but they did end up finding out pre-debut. After they found out tho they took all the expenses of his education and medical treatment so that he wouldn't have to work part-time jobs.
Omg, CCW, I love that channel as well it’s so great to see you complimenting them and not being toxic about it. We’re all ARMY around here so it’s great to see you casually acknowledge other great channels 😊💜.
The military period is 18 months for active duty . So Jin who went in , in December 2022, will come out in June 2024. Hobie will come out in October 2024, Suga has 21 months to do because he cannot do active duty( due to his shoulder injury for which he was operated for). He’s still serving but in social service instead of a combat service. For this reason, the mandatory military time is extended to 21 months. As for RM and V , they will enlist on Dec 11 of this year . Jimin, and Jk will be on December 12 (the day after RM and V) , so we assume all 7 will be out by June 2025. And yes Rex, you will be waiting for this right along your fellow Armies.
The Olivia Rodrigo skit was from their live performance of Butter at the Grammys... (It was V btw... not JK haha)... Their performance was epic... they rightly got an audience standing ovation at the end... Jin couldn't do all of the choreo because he'd had surgery on his index finger and so they structured the choreo / staging around him as they were concerned he would get bumped ... Someone asked V what he was whispering to Olivia during that skit and he said ' Blah blah blah ' hahahaha... I'm guessing they chose him for his acting skills... (not that all of them don't have them of course... )
It's not a conspiracy theory. The US music industry genuinely do their absolute best to prevent BTS from winning on US charts. There are charts that break down the components of the rankings for Billboard and their Korean songs get very few radio plays. As in one song got only 6 radio plays. However, ARMY still managed to get them to # 1. It's so bad that when Jimin got #1 with one of his solo songs, Like Crazy, Billboard literally changed one rule and one rule only that caused Jimin to lose 90% of his sales numbers. He still got #45 on the chart. The Grammys have treated the boys and ARMY so badly that the majority of ARMY now call them the Scammys. It's really blatant and really bad.
@@EverRoxas I agree. Personally, I don't pay attention to them any more, unless the guys are breaking another record. I want them to get a Grammy because they wanted one, but I'm not sure that they even want one anymore. Not with all of the crap the Billboard charts and award shows have been pulling.
The Coldplay documentary is on youtube "Coldplay X BTS Inside 'My Universe' Documentary - BTS (방탄소년단)" and if you havent known before "BANGTANTV" Is BTS's official youtube channel Now Chris from Coldplay and Jin are best buddies. Chris ALWAYS makes a shout out to Jin and before Jin went to the military, Jin wrote a song with Coldplay called ""The Astronaut" and they performed it together during one of Coldplays concerts Chris refers to Jin by his government name "World Wide Handsome Jin" hahahaha
Funny that you mention that you’ll be able to catch up on their content while they’re in the military 😅, that’s what I thought when they announced their individual projects 🤡💜. I have a feeling that they have content planned for release while they’re serving their country. Good luck to us. 💜💜💜
Everything must have been planned very carefully, even on December 20, a documentary about BTS's journey from when they first met until they became successful will be broadcast on Disney Hotstar.
Did you know that in the MAMA Awards performance of Life Goes On, Yoongi was there in the middle as a hologram. He was on leave to undergo shoulder surgery but before he went on leave, they made a hologram of him to incorporate in the performance. When you watch other videos during this period when Yoongi was absent, watch their positions. They never fill Yoongi’s spot. Instead you’ll always see them leave a space representing where he normally should be. BTS is always 7 even when they’re 6.
Someone else mentioned it but I highly recommend following Boracity...she's an OG army who does video essays on BTS and Army, the industry and payola, BTS' discography and she recently put out a video addressing some concerns people had with their different member projects/promotions/results. You're already aware, but there is that toxic element of BTS "fans" as well that are more like antis. Who will stan only 1 member, or ship members, creating misleading edits and narratives and victimizing the members as well, with delusions of company sabotage, etc etc etc. Boracity would be a good place to start, but definitely avoid accounts that are 1 or 2 member focused as they will not be reliable.
I am also subscribed to Columbian Cousins and Wives channel and even on their Patreon. They are so good and true. They are also baby army’s and starting watching everything chronologically. Plus the guys are musicians too. I was just happy seeing you enjoy them too.. BTW, I also love and enjoy your reactions! Thank you for liking BTS!!
If you want example of a great reactor (that relatively new to BTS) I'd recommend Tribe Loui. He is very creative with his approach to reactions and he is genuinely in love with BTS and his audience. Jurnalist also is favourite of mine, because he is active rapper and producer and his point of view and insight is very interesting. But he is quite busy with his work (performances, producing, songwriting), so his reactions sometimes rushed. But he is still genuine and if he don't like something (like style of the song, production or lyrics), he is not afraid to say that, but he is respectful and explains why and what would be in his opinion better choice. It's always interesting to hear people from inside the industry in regards of BTS' journey. I am very interested in you right now and what direction you will choose. So, fighting! For you "conspiracy theory" I again strongly recommend to react to BoraCity videos. She has "bts vs radio", "bts vs Spotify", "bts vs award shows" and "why music industry terrified of bts" and ect. It is very insightful.
OH YOU NEED TO START REACTING TO BORACITY VIDEOS !!! You have already started treading the road of asking really important questions about BTS and its relationship with the music industry. It will blow your mind for real. Her video essays are a great introduction to understand the socio-cultural, east-west & pop culture discourses surrounding the success & trials of BTS. Enjoying your videos. Keep going :)
Thank you for another great reaction. I also enjoy the Colombian Cousins and have followed them from the beginning. For now, theirs and yours are my favorite channels. Keep them coming please. From a 63 year old Army from South Africa
12:45 to answer your questions please watch "why the music industry is terrified of BTS" by Boracity i would give you the link but youtube sometimes erase my comments with links. BORAHAE
Thank you for reacting to BTS. ❤ But it's a humble request , please keep reacting to them on you tube only. Please don't turn everything to patreon. You are the only one that i have seen reacting to all full episodes on youtube. Please continue and we will love to support you in this beautiful journey ❤ Borahae
We love that youre so excited about this..but man there are so many things to cover..like so freaking many to catch up..Thats the most intresting thing about being an army there is endless content for us..Behind the scenes, Run BTS show, Bon Voyage, In the soop, MVs, Dance Practices, Cover songs by members, Solo work of each member, and the solo works Behind the scenes, Their lives on weverse..these are the some things i remember for just now i can name some other things than this..Welcome to the MAGIC SHOP..We armys respect you for loving our boys💜
I was skeptical at first because there are so many BTS reactors on RU-vid. But after watching some of your videos, I think your reactions are really genuine and sincere. It's really fun to see how curious and excited you are about our 7 boys. Just subscribed 💜
I live in Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean, and we play kpop on the top 40 type radio stations. Mainly BTS but a few other groups as well. Solos are mainly Jimin and Jungkook, also heard that that by Psy and Suga. It's a great start.
Hi Rex ! I’m sorry to tell you that , even with the following 18 months that our 7 kings will be in the military, you won’t be able to catch up with all the BTS content . There is just soooooo much of it, that it will be difficult to see everything. The good news is that, you will know so much more about them when they come out. We can help guiding you if you want. For great BTS reactors, these are some of the best : WhatchaGot2say , JohnReavesLive, G.O.T Games, JoseOchoaTV,and of course XCeleste are your most popular ones. There are many more obviously, but these guys are very genuine. You will find some that are just plain using BTS and ARMY for views, but I won’t name any. You will eventually figure who they are. As for you……I’m really enjoying your BTS journey. For someone that just discovered them only recently, you’re doing great. Btw, I’m sure you must of heard Butter on the radio cause it played non-stop. You just probably didn’t know it was BTS singing. Keep it up Rex 💜
Let's not forget Shiki ey... He's a hardcore Army, even got other reactions on Patrion for free... He just do reactions about our Tannies only.... And Maxinese Family is also an awesome BTS reaction channel
@@angelrantoa2628 Yes, I know there are many more good ones like I stated, but I couldn’t name them all. I just named my top 5. It’s good that other Armies recommend some more. Thanks💜
1. Bangtantv ( THE official BTS chanel) is THE one 2. HYBE ( and on HYBEs chanel under Bighit music , where their official MVs and Music releases are . Then there are the V Topic, RM Topic, JinTopic, Jimin Topic , J-HopeTopic, SUGA Topic, Jungkook Topic where their solo releases are officially released) 3. Boracity Magazin 4. The Rise Of Bangtan My favorite chanels about all important about BTS
The friendship between Bang Shi Hyuk and the BTS is really sweet. He allows them to call him ‘Hyung’ which is a big deals as he is not only their boss but he is also 20+ years older than the guys. Jin uploaded a video of Bang PD cooking a meal for him at 1am. Jin had been in the area & rang Bang PD to see if it was ok to call in 😂
Yesss I love CCW. You guys are my favourites now 🥺💜. If you want more. There are established Armys like Nigel baker, shiki and watchagot2say. They are so fun especially since they are now really active Armys. Anthony Ray is also so good. I'm looking forward to your journey with bts. Borahae 💜
3:40 "Just look at all the people in the back".....completely overlooking that that's a freakin hologram of Suga in the front. 😂 This is from my absolute favourite performance of Life Goes On ever, MAMA 2020. Suga was recovering from shoulder surgery and they paid thousands to have him on stage with them even digitally. It says so much about them. 💜 Their best Christmas show in my opinion is this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D09aWA_lhG4.htmlsi=nLi_NMMCnD9eXnRt It's incredible! (careful of copyright on this one though) 💜
The best BTS reactors to me are Anthony Ray and Tribe Loui, you'll probably enjoy both of them a lot. Anthony is a huge rap and rock fan, so he focused on their rap work first and is really appreciative of it. Tribe Loui has never charged for his Patreon and is watching literally everything BTS, literally everything. So he deserves extra kudos along with Shiki who also has never charged for Patreon. I can't wait til you get into BTS's rap work and hear more of their diverse sounds.
You can watch behind the scenes from my universe on the BANGTAN TV channel. Almost all BTS videos have behind the scene videos which you can watch on their official RU-vid channel, namely "BANGTAN TV"
Though I love their reactions, I hate how they turn everything into pateron example; run bts like bro it's free by bts themselves why do u want army to pay for everything 💀
He forgot to mention something really important...BTS PERFORMED PERMISSION TO DANCE AT THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY before or after(I don't remember) their THIRD SPEECH . You should absolutely react to that performance you'll love it!!!!💜
I watched all your reaction videos about BTS, and decided to subscribe to your RU-vid channel. Because all the reactions you give are very genuine and I like them. I will diligently check your video about URI Bangtan every day. Borahae 💜💜💜
IFPI is the only US award that really counts. The best butter to watch is the grammy performance! pausing so much is a real head hop. BTS won't pay for play, so they don't get played. It's really that simple. BTS and Big Hit refuse to engage in that kind of betrayal to good music and artists. There's a reason why no one watches us award shows and we call it the scammys. I don't think they realize how stupid it makes them look as BTS is obviously much better than all of them.
In the past, BTS didn't have a translator, cause the lack of money. Rm always translate for the rest of member. If the question kinda rude, rm usually translate to more nice sentence for member.
12:46 ohhhhHhh You NEED to check out boracity magzine's video essays on BTS and these topics...her vid essays are amazing and educational Ps: love you & CCW !
They have so many cool collaborations from Nicki Minaj, Designer, Wale, Juice World, Steve Aoki, fall out boy, J. Cole, Halsey, Megan Thee Stallion, Anderson Paak, Erykah Badu, now Usher and Justin Timberlake and many really cool Korean artists too.
There is behind the scenes of everything. bangtan bombs which are made also with subs. There is a doc about the Coldplay collaboration as well. Of course 😊❤ I watch CCW...they are awesome❤
Bang PD (former CEO of HYBE)is a music producer for HYBE artists now. He loves to make music. That is what he wants to do. Still he is the highest stock share holder of HYBE
Loving your genuine reactions! And I also appreciate that you like CCW because I am also a fan! Trust me, us Army know those genuine from not. So we really appreciate you and CCW! Thank you for loving BTS!
Btw you were so shocked by Butter's numbers you'd be shocked to know Jungkook's Seven broke butter's record and garnered 16M streams on spotify in the first 24 hours, breaking the record for the biggest first day streams for a collaboration on the platform's history. It also went on to get the fastest 100M on spotify and now holds the Guinness World Record for the Fastest Song to reach 1B streams in history 😂😂❤
When you want to see reaction videos of music and honest opinion DJ Jino is my go too. As much as he says he ain't army he geniounly loves BTS members and he gives honest opinions
I love seeing you happy smile watching their videos and history. I think this is the most important thing their music give to ARMY. Wellcome to the rabbit hole 💜
Yes! Love CCW! They’re fun to watch. Editing as I watch. 😁 Jungkook is the only one that doesn’t have an IG account. Well he used to but not anymore. He has a TikTok acct though.
Yes but not in a bad way but they're using BTS for money (not saying they're the only ones but they always say they watch BTS just for fun but it was obvious from the first day they want views and patrons) 😬 (again not saying they're bad or anything but it's just not my vibe I feel like shiki and tribe loui are still the top BTS reactors but yes I love to hear ccw talks abt BTS💜)
CCW is one of my favorite, they’re new too just started last year with literally no idea about bts too, but they’ve come a long way as army and exclusively just reacting to BTS in kpop
I have watched reactions from the other sites you mentioned as well as many others. Yours are some of the best I’ve seen. I’m a 54 year old punk rocker who was introduced to BTS by my daughter. Now I am BTS Army for life. I hope you enjoy the rest of your journey. I know you will. Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
i usually pretty skeptical about new bts reactors, but your journey is very exciting to watch, I recognise myself in your reaction to boys, keep exploring, there is a lot of content haha
Man I just love your reactions and I'm not talking only about bts. I just can tell that you're genuine good person. I love your comments on different topics. It feels like watching something with a friend. I'm definitely gonna keep watching your videos.
Hola, desde Perú 🇵🇪 y con 65 años me suscribí a tu canal por la bonitas y sinceras reacciones a los chicos BTS, no hay edad para verlos y escucharlos, siempre será un placer hacerlo, gracias.
It is so awesome to see you feeling all excited to see them and see you genuinely proud of their accomplishments. As far as I know, ARMY used to request their songs on the radio a lot before and they would even send gifts to the radio stations and many radio hosts ended up making fun of them and refusing to play the songs. It is sad, so now we stream their songs and focus on loving our boys and supporting what they do 💜
I'm a 58 yr old Army and I'm so enjoying your journey💜 I say start at the bts room festa live, it's a nice compilation.. Then go back and start at the beginning with no more dream and we are bulletproof pt2
We all thought military enlistment would allow us all to catch up on content, but 2022/2023 has been nonstop content with really no signs of stopping 🤭💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I saw some comments supporting you to react to Boracity Magazine and i'll leave my request too, pls watch WHY THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS TERRIFIED OF BTS by BORACITY MAGAZINE , like it helps so much with understanding how deep the radio and industry runs and choose the public's favorite, thank you and i love how genuine you are in your reactions
A channel called Boracity does video essays about a bunch of BTS. They have a couple on why the industry doesnt like BTS, how ARMY changed fandom culture and a bunch of others that are amazing!
Conan is my number 1 favourite and now I listen to his podcast when working out. He is the greatest. I regret he didn’t have a chance to have bts on this show before he left but he had small back to back online with J-Hope. You can find a video by searching Conan BTS, he was talking about it on his show, funny and cute
Their life performances are awesome, to me nothing beats attack on bangtan live performace. Its an older one, but damn where they chaotic in that one. Absolutly love it
BORACITY MAGAZINE is also an awesome channel to follow 💜 also when you’re ready to watch one of their PTD concerts and if you have DISNEY+, you can catch it there
Boracity magazine she's amazing she has all the facts and figure's and isn't afraid to use them she's ARMY a Metal Head. She's the Queen. Don't forget BTS other official RU-vid Channel HYBE along with Bantang TV.
Yes Colombian Cousins and Wives react channel is one of the best reaction channel their reaction is very raw and genuine,But I discovered your channel recently and you are very genuine person and you talk very deep and honest, your are doing amazing job💜
We have all gotten used to the fact US radio refuses to play BTS. American companies want their talent to play. If you become Army, be prepared to realize radio/Grammys snub BTS
The clip with Rodrigo and V is part of their Grammy performance. You definitely have to watch it. Interestingly, she was only added at the last minute after BTS was asked to include her on the day of the performance
CCW is AMAZING. I love their videos and one of your videos was actually in my recommended under theirs! I'm so glad that I found your channel through thiers.
