I'm a 50 years old mum with teenage daughters, we have bound over BTS as their positive messages. Do react to their UN speeches you will have a better understanding of why the Army said they are not any typical boy band.
They donated 1 million and army matched it, when John Cena found out he also matched the 1 million dollar donated so BTS and ARMy donated 3 million for BLM
Oh, that's kinda a miscommunication. I remember a whole lot of articles misinterpreting John Cena's tweet back then, but he said that he was happy to join in with BTS Army to help match the $1 million donation. So he donated with Army to bring the total up to $1 million from Army. Which is still great of him. He's a big army hahaha so it's all good. Edit: He corrected the misinformation during an interview with Trevor Noah last year.
Don't worry about missing out - Min Yoongi (stage name SUGA/solo stage name AgustD) says the day you start liking and supporting them, is the day THEY debuted. so don't need to feel left out! ;)
39 year old here who never thought that needed 07 young korean men to teach me that I need to love myself.. but they really did the trick! Their message helped me through hard times. And even with HUGE sucess and money and influence they still remain down to earth, humble and gratefull. My 4 year old daughter loves their music and I hope she continues to love them for a long time cause they are a great role model. There's a video by XCelest about the Army. You would be amazed how organized and amazing Army is!
I am a 51 year old African-American army. I’ve been watching you, and watching your videos. And I don’t think you’ve had the recognition you deserve. There’s so many people out there watching BTS videos just because they see the numbers. I see that you are really interested in who they are and what they are and what we are as army. There’s A couple of videos I think that will be advantageous for you to watch. One would be mic drop the other will be black Swan. And even maybe a couple of their live videos. I was suggest you go back further in your discography because Real army wants to see you react to when they’re speaking everything in Korean that will show that you’re truly respectful of their art. Don’t forget to turn on the close captions . Wishing you love and light L
My thoughts too! I only follow 3 reactors that are really genuine while pretty different and I really want @Dean to be known more by Army. I like what I see and hear. There are too many reactors that do not deserve the subscribers they have.
I agree. There are so many reactors who do it for numbers and not genuine interest in BTS and their craft. It is so refreshing to see someone reacting to BTS, taking the time to understand and to be genuinely intrigued by BTS and truly appreciating them.
Dean as a 42 years old Army, BTS has been a positive influence to the kids and im happy your daughter liked them. Also aside from their music, they really have fun and authentic personalities as well.
I am 43 and my husband is 48yo..and we love BTS.. this 7 angels are our Hppy Pill amd inspiration.. they are really so inspiring and they are just humble kids and thry never change a bit..
Thank you for this because, like you, I had no idea. I am sitting here now crying because I truly feel that these humble young men exist to change our world. They had no idea who they would be. I just discovered them a month ago on my own; I have no children. I am 65 living in South Central Los Angeles. I love these guys and I am go grateful to be a part of the world they are transforming 👍🏾👵🏿🙏🏾💗🌅🎵.
I was just wondering if you have talked to your daughter about BTS after listening to their music. This group has such a positive influence on young people & adults. They are scheduled to be in NYC this September at the next United Nations event, with their President. It will be their 3rd time doing something for the UN. People in power, I think XCeleste might’ve been referring to their songs that criticize the Korean education system, social status and most likely the song Spring Day. There was a ferry tragedy in South Korea. Any celebrity who spoke out against it were blacklisted. Spring Day was most likely about it but they couldn’t confirm because of government backlash.
They have recently confirmed that the MV and choreo especially are relating to the Sewol ferry tragedy. The song itself can either be taken as missing the victims - or missing anyone who is no longer around, that is why it appeals to people of all ages and is still in the charts 6 years later, and even applies today as we miss those due to lockdowns because of the pandemic.... we all wish for our "Spring Day" to come.
People in power = media, the music industry big shots, government. All of the above, really. For the government part, there was also Am I Wrong, performed live during a time of political instability
BTS SUGA: “Even if you weren't there from the beginning, every moment is like debut so don't be sad. Because the time when you first meet us, that time becomes the debut day.”
Than you for appreciating and respecting BTS. I am 45 years old and was smitten with them from day one when I first know of them in April 2020 during the peak of COVID-19 in Australia. BTS has really saved me in so many ways....I have found my love in music again.
Your daughter has chose the right role model. Im happy for her. Im a mama ARMY who knew BTS from my daughter. Now we have more topics to talked because of BTS 😁
The messages in BTS's music is so powerful and healing that it literally moves millions of people around the world, I'm so thankful I found them 6 years ago 💜
I just loved your reaction. Made me cry (in a good way) Now you know why ARMY was so happy your daughter loves them. Role models. I would definitely recommend An Introduction to the 7 members of BTS by Ida S, next. In the video the "power" that she refers to is both government and the Big 3 corporations that had a strangle hold on KPop. Once you get further down the rabbit hole 2 songs in particular. Spring Day which is about the Sewol ferry disaster (a horrific event that later lead to the impeachment of President Park) this video has many explanation videos which I suggest watching first and bring tissues. And the song that made me an army forever Baepsae (definitely watch an explanation video on this as well) is about being a millennial (or indeed anyone who is an artist/creative/downtrodden/maligned/minority) and railing against a broken system. 💜 Just yesterday, President Moon Jae appointed BTS as diplomatic representatives, special envoy for Future Generations and Culture to help shape the global agenda on sustainable growth and future generations, to speak at the UN this September again. Enjoy the journey down the rabbit hole. 😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
@@BigNerdDean Your daughter is in very good hands although it can get expensive 🤣🤣. I teared up too with your reaction. The backlash in Korea is real because of the systems and culture makes their story truly amazing. These 7 angels and BangPD have changed many people lives. Hell, there are ARMY in China that have built schools and hospitals in the members names as birthday presents. 👀 💜💜💜
@@BigNerdDean Hi, I'm 60 years old, when I met the boys I discovered a different world, when I got to know their lives in depth, from the beginning I started to fall in love with each one of them and their differences. I integrated myself into a reality I never imagined. Being an Army today is very important, because as a teacher I can recommend the work developed by BTS. They are genuine and care about what the young person is doing. And if you really follow what they do for people you will be able to recognize how many lives they manage to save, because they are the hope of a generation, they talk about culture, health, studies and they want today's young people to be very healthy. Congratulations on sharing your reactions to the BTS world.
Bts has actually spoke infront of the UN twice. And they are invited again this year as part of the South Korean presidents special envoy. They also received the cultural merit award in South Korea making them the youngest people to do so. The South Korean government has named them national treasures. These men deserve all the love because they put others ahead of themselves.
I'm a 53 year old mum from the netherlands. I've seen michael jackson live 3 times and i can honestly say that BTS are live even better than MJ. I feel very honoured and blessed to see, hear and experience BTS now. I love their music, lyrics, their personalities, their MVs, their performances, everything. 7 wonderfull human beings, that i'm very proud of!
First off, thank you for your reaction on BTS. You said in the video that you were wondering what the statement "backlash from people in power" was all about. Well, it's both from the Korean government as well as other big companies or groups. BTS are a group that are not afraid to speak their minds and they always stand up against social injustice. They have made many controversial statements in their songs throughout the years. For example making references to May 18 1980, Kwangju Uprising (Rebellion), which was a mass protest against the South Korean military government. Nearly a quarter of a million people participated in the rebellion, and it is considered to have been a pivotal moment in the South Korean struggle for democracy. It's still not certain even today, how many people lost their lives during the mass protest, but it was originally believed to have been around 600 people. Nowadays based on reports that have surfaced, it's likely to have been in the 1,000 to 2,000 range. Citizens were also tortured and raped by the military, and many people went missing as well. It is highly controversial to even mention the Gwangju Uprising, even to this day. It is also very dangerous to choose what side you stand on, and even more dangerous for public figures to speak openly about it - which rarely happens. K-pop Idols are not supposed to be political, but BTS refuse to live by these rules, and they don't shy away from difficult topics, even though it's unsafe. The biggest threat is the very popular far-right South Korean internet forum called "Ilbe Jeojangso", that are notorious for their denial of the Gwangju Uprising. The members of Ilbe also have a lot of hatred against the Honam region, historically known as Jeolla Province (which Gwangju is part of, where the BTS member J-Hope is from), they're also known for defamation of the Sewol ferry victims (which BTS's MV for their song "Spring Day" was a tribute to, and also criticizing the Korean government for their involvement). Ilbe members are also anti-immigrants, anti-women, and anti-LGBT. They are also linked to nazism, terrorism, vandalism, assault, and murder. They have a specific hand gesture they do as well, which can be compared to the Nazi salute. BTS have jeopardized their whole career many times throughout the years because of the topics of some of their songs. Another example is the song I mentioned above, "Spring Day". It's a song that BTS's fandom "A.R.M.Y." (often simply written as "ARMY" and is an acronym and stands for "Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth"), has crowned as "Queen" of BTS's discography, and is the longest- charting song in history on Melon (the most popular music streaming service in South Korea). On February 13 2021, the song had then officially spent 4 consecutive years on the charts, and it's still on the charts now in July. The song and MV is a tribute to the victims of the MV Sewol ferry tragedy that occured on April 16 2014, which killed 304 people - the majority which were kids. Sewol's captain Lee Joon-seok (Koreans put their surname before their first name, btw), was later found guilty of gross negligence and is now serving a 36 year sentence. What makes this song stand out from other tribute songs, is that it was actually illegal at the time for BTS to make this song. The K-pop industry was actually created by and is still controlled by the Korean government, and the industry receive huge amounts of government funding every year. The government also censor songs that are deemed too political, anti-government, or pro-North Korean. Even songs that have been played for decades sometimes run afoul of the authorities. They also have the power to disband groups, and blacklist artists and groups from airplay on the radio. The government also decide whether songs, music videos and concert-filmed content will be allowed to be uploaded on the internet. They have put a stop to certain artists' careers in the past, and can still do so if they so choose. BTS have had songs banned in the past, as well as have come close to be disbanded by the government, by demands of the public. The former president of South Korea, Park Geun-hye (who is currently serving time in prison for abuse of power, bribery and coercion. She was originally sentenced to 24 years after having been found guilty of the 16 of the 18 charges she faced. The sentence has changed several times since then, and up until 2020 she was supposed to serve 32 years instead, but it was reduced last year to 20 years - and one of her charges + part of another one was dropped as well), banned artists and groups from making music about the Sewol tragedy, as well as showing support to the victims and their families - after having received criticism for her handling of the disaster. BTS cleverly constructed their song "Spring Day" and its MV into hidden messages, and used a lot of different metaphors in order to criticize the Korean government and let the voices of the victims be heard, without the government's knowledge. Some people will claim that it's only a theory that "Spring Day" is about the Sewol tragedy, since we will never know for certain until BTS themselves make a official statement about it. If you were to watch the 2 very detailed explanation videos for the MV however, it's obvious that the theory is indeed true. BTS will of course never be able to confirm it themselves, since it was a criminal act at the time. There is currently false information going around on the internet that BTS have officially confirmed that the song is about the Sewol disaster, however this is not true - they have hinted that it's about the event, but not explicitly uttered those words. The most they have revealed about the inspiration to the song, was in an interview with Esquire Magazine, published on November 23 2020, where the interviewer asked them if the song was about "a specific sad event", to which the member Jin answered "It is about a sad event, as you said, but it is also about longing". It is worth mentioning that in the article that this interview is part of, the journalist had written about the Sewol disaster before Jin's comment was added right afterwards - implying that the interviewer probably mentioned the Sewol ferry during the interview. In October of 2016, a cultural blacklist made by the government, that blocks any public funding or aid towards artists that voice any criticism of Park Geun-hye, was made known. On January 21 2017, an exclusive report revealed that BTS and Big Hit (now known as HYBE), had donated a total of 100 million won (approximately 85,000 USD) to "4/16 Sewol Families for Truth and a Safer Society". When asked about it, Big Hit confirmed: "It's something that we processed secretly as we believed that donations are meant to be done quietly. It was the artists' decision and personal matters, so we don't think it's something to leave comments on". On April 10 2018, the blacklist was made public for the first time. It was dated May 2015, containing a 60-page-long list that included 9473 names of people that were excluded from state funding simply for voicing of Park's handling of the Sewol ferry tragedy, showing support to the victims and their families in any form, or for showing support for rival political parties. Thankfully, BTS were not on the list - but they very well could've been, it's actually really surprising that they managed to escape getting on that list. This was during a time as well when they needed all the funding they could get, also they could've been blacklisted from the radio, or even worse - get disbanded. One K-pop group were on the list, called "24K", for having helped a candidate in the presidential election.
I'm 57 years old and I am so impressed by these amazing men. I never knew I needed them but it is said they come into your life when you need them the most and this is so true. There is so much content to enjoy. They do a lot of things for their fans. I'm glad to see your impressed by them if you watch excelestes Hardships be prepared as it broke my heart what they did to BTS. Enjoy your journey with these wonderful men from South Korea I'm sure you won't regret it. Much love ❤
Yeah. She will grow up to be an amazing person, I am glade she likes bts and not today's music that days bad words and stuff like that. When bts says bad words, they do it for a good meaning. More people need that kind of music that connects and helps people..
Hello again from Finland 😁. What a smart daughter you have. There are so many suggestions here but I just want to say that there is a a very good video This is BTS Army. It really shows how many wonderful people there are in the world and gives me hope for the future. Fan comments on Twitter can keep me laughing for hours and I’m so proud to be Army. By the way, I knew you were British but Japan threw me off 😩. Don’t know why because I’m a Brit living in Finland 🤪. Don’t worry about having been living under a rock. They say that BTS finds you when you need them and that’s what happened with me 3yrs ago. I am old enough to be your grandma but I love these boys like my children. They will make you laugh and cry and want more. I go back to the Beatles era and I have never come across a group like this. Enjoy the rabbit hole and thank you for your reaction. Love from Finland 💜💜💜
You’re down the rabbit hole officially, mate 💜😂 University of California at Northridge held their second annual conference this year where different aspects of BTS were talked about by professors and other experts (and fans)…it was amazing. Just the thought and meaning BTS put into their Map of the Soul albums could take up a week alone. It was amazing. It was International as well…i believe the first one was held in the UK. They’re not just entertainers. She did another video on their past troubles (which still doesn’t cover everything, but it hits on the major issues) that would be good to view as someone new to the fandom. 💜. There’s a LOT to digest if you’re new 😂😂
@BigNerd Dean, As a parent you can feel confident that your daughter is listening to music that is inspiring and uplifting and that teaches her how to be strong and how to continue to persevere through the hard times! She is a fan of BTS she is ARMY and I believe you are also ARMY?😊💜 Your short journey through BTS has just begun but there is so much s more to learn about BTS! It’s just not their music and lyrics and choreography that are outstanding but their personalities and their humble there and unlike any western artist or any artist that I’ve ever come across of in my lifetime and I am much older than you and I’m also ARMY for the eight years that they have been existing as a group! We have learned a lot about ourselves when we listen to the music of BTS I can dissect the lyrics and learn something new every time I listen to the song again! And as a fan they reached me at one point in my life when I was at my worst when I was physically sick and unable to feel good about myself with health conditions, With health conditions that I have I still persevere I still continue to live one day at a time one BTS song at a time! So I hope that BTS will continue to inspire you continue to entertain you continue to teach and learn new things about yourself! BTS love their ARMYs and vice versa! Our relationship is more than just us buying their albums and their concert tickets we have a relationship that we appreciate each other respect each other and BTS are always humble they never put in brag and boast about how much money they make or how much better they are than anybody else but truly they are that’s just my point as a fan but the truth is they are humble respectful seven young men that you can appreciate their talent and their social continent is always engaging and thought-provoking! Please continue to do more XCeleste informational videos about BTS she is a good dedicated fan of BTS and all of her con tent is 100% accurate! I purple you💜( That is ARMYS and BTS color that identify as love and trust)
Subscribed. love your BTS reactions.im a 44 year old Mom and i can guarantee you that your daughter is in good hands with BTS. Their discography is vast and really well thought of. i can go on and on. the other important thing about them is their personality. you are right. they're genuine. transparent. and very humble human beings. sometimes i even wonder how they can exist. but they do and ARMY is so lucky to have them. ARMY is very invested in BTS. and is very protective. sometimes overly so. im pretty sure as you go down the rabbit hole, you'll realize why. anyways. welcome to the fandom. and dont worry about the length of the video. knowing ARMY, they'll support you. enjoy your journey
I have to disagree. Its not a great first guide, it presents some of the member both unfairly and poorly. Some members are more hyped than others(wich might be an bias issue) and with others, important info has completely left out. To ARMYs that already knows the members, its not that bad but for someone whos only just about start learning about them.. It clearly gives out the athmosphere that other members are better/more important than others. Thats not my kinda vibe.
@@jennaeveliina313 Now that you mention it, you are quite correct, I chose this one cause it provides the discography element quite well, I personally thought it'd be better to do individual guides after this one cause it gives a good glimpse of the discography, but, yea you are true
@@jennaeveliina313 I am in agreement with Smeraldo. This is a great guide for understanding the discorgraphy, which the other guides do not cover. The Who is BTS individual artist guide do a better job with that but this gives a more holistic understanding for newbies. I am Baby Army (Summer )2020 and when this guide came out it really helped put things in order for me. Cuz you can bounce around on RU-vid and look at their best viewed videos but to have complete understanding of their thought process, their artistry and how they strategically presented each EP was very rewarding and help me straighten things out and understand their artistry and growth. I would think as a reactor I would want to have a little bit of that context.
It's fine I had 8 years to process this. Every day year in and year out BTS always give us reason to be happy and love them. I hope that more people see the real BTS and not just the boyband tag
Please react to these when you have time: -BTS hardships 2013-2021 by xceleste -Nobodies to Legends 2019 by xceleste -BTS vs. Kpop: a video essay by bby gang -An introduction to the 7 members of BTS by Ida S (most updated) (get to know each member) -The most beautiful Moment in Life Goes On by Asian theory 2021 by Asian theory (get to know a summary of their careers) -BTS Crash Course 2020 by Suga and Spice (good to get to know what their albums are about up till 2020) Sorry for so many recommendations. Lol. Do whatever you want and take your time. Please don’t feel overwhelmed and pressured. Also if it is about BTS we will watch long videos so don’t worry about having long videos. New subscriber!!💜💜 Edit: Sorry to add one more on the list but their is an amazing ongoing series that starts at the beginning of BTS journey, talks about what kpop is, and shows the difference between most (almost all) groups compared to BTS. The series is called: The Rise of Bangtan (would love to see your reaction if you decide to watch them)
The Rise of Bangtan have 12 episodes (so far) and also there were deleted scenes which also nice to watch (deleted its because it's too long for an episode but they still posted them so you and ARMYs can watch💜☺️
xCeleste posted an Updated version of the "BTS Hardships" video recently, so be sure to watch that one instead of the one she linked in this video: BTS HARDSHIPS 2013-2021 | Racism, mistreatment, accusations + more | Struggles throughout the years - RU-vid 💜💜💜
Yes. Bts are amazing, and there more then what people think. I was suffering from depression and there music always gives me comfort. I used to hate myself and look at other people better then what I am. When they came in my life they came when I needed the most. There music made me love myself just the way I am and to meet people that understand me. If it wasn't for then I don't know what it could happen. J am glade that even tho all the success they have they still remain humble. I recommed you to react to "7 members of bangtan" by xcelest it's an amazing vidoe to get to know the members better. I also recommed the 2021 version. You are never late to the family, we love having new people into the fan base. Your an amazing person, have a nice day and enjoy every second with your daughter, I know she is amazing.
BTS opened my eyes to the world. I've learned that the rest of the world has the same hope & dreams. Likes & dislikes. There are still haters, xenophobes & racists in the world but BTS helps me navigate situations. Also; our governments are always telling us to hate certain countries, with BTS & the internet; all of a sudden, I have friends, who have similar likes from these countries that I'm suppose to hate. BTS has created a family from all over the world for me and I love that family very much.
BTS is life changing! Brings you music, Joy, depht, poetry, lyrics, amazing vocals, amazing raps, selflove etc etc. Enjoy the journey 💜💜 Greetz from Holland ✌✌🇱🇺🇱🇺
The funny thing is that my mom's friend is an army and I didn't know until now cuz you know she saw my merch and me watching BTS and we were like that Spider-Man meme 😺👉👈😺
Hi, this is gonna be a long comment, pls bear with me. This is my thoughts throughout your reaction: 1. As ARMY, i've never commit this much to artists/ celebrity. Its my first time to not only stan a group, but also supporting the whole company. The birth of bts started from Big Hit and the vision of their ceo, which im forever grateful for creating bts. From the core of bts, its already a very genuine and sincere goals. Music for healing, to voice out through crafts. I thank Mr.Bang, for raising bts like his own son, instead of training them like machines prepared to compete in the industry. Kpop industry has been known to be toxic and very competitive. Companies would train artists like machines with strict diets, restriction for social media use, forced to practice beyond hours etc. But Mr. Bang create a friendly environment and not forceful. He encouraged them to be genuine teenagers with their personalities and even encourage them to interact in twitter even before they debut. He just constantly remind them to know their purpose as artists, and use the platform they have to strive for growth as individuals and as artists. 2. Yes, the members love each other so dearly. One of the reason why we love each and every one of them. Seeing their relationship and synergy, brings us happiness. Their love for each other is platonic. That clip of Jin saying members are like his wallet and phone was in 2017, their bond are way stronger now to the point they feel like they want to build a village of 7 houses and live near each other (let me cry....). The thing is they are not afraid to show how much they love each other, and that expression are also shown to us, ARMYs which is also why we love them so dearly. Loving Bts never felt one sided. They constantly show us how much we are loved by them. That as much as ARMY are fans to BTS, BTS are also fans to ARMY. They call us family and their bestfriends, their eternal partner and their happiness (let me cry again...) 3. BTS are very involved in their music. Every details; their lyrics, sounds, singing, music videos, choreography, all have meanings and inter-connection to each other (like a connected storyline). And their lyrics and music are just....top tier. Many people said bts make music for the intelligents cause your brain need some processing to fully digest their crafts 💀 4. Lyricism are top priority for bts when making music. They prioritise the message than anything. The main lyricist in bts is RM, we call him the philosopher who raps, and Literature boy. All bcs he wrote poetic lyrics, where u sometimes need to sit back and think about it. RM loves reading books, he was a nerd who love rap in school, his ambition used to be a Writer. Suga and jhope are also good lyricists. 5. BTS & ARMY 💜 a family. Bts are so genuine with their fans, non of their gestures of love to us are fake, not even once we doubted how much they love and appreciate us. Their label also appreciate us by thinking of so many contents to make us happy. They constantly comfort us, and interact with us, always reminding us that they love us, calling our relationship as "each other's battery", we protect each other. The reason the fandom are so strong bcs from the beginning, armys are the only one who protect bts from any hate, armys supported them from the very beginning. Our numbers keep growing bcs we connect with these guys, we understand their goals and what they stand for. I trust bts with all my heart, i trust their music and they never disappoint me even once. They are people who does what they preach, people who always inspire others to be better version of ourselves. And i love them fr that. 6. I would like to say welcome to the rabbit whole. You have a lot to explore, from their music and personality. Looking forward to your reaction more 💜
Content producer Asian Theory put out a video called The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Goes On: A Story of BTS which discussed how BTS was formed and goes through their work up to early November 2020. It is excellent and nicely supplements this video as there is only minimal overlap.
I am a 64 year old Army. And I will say it again. I truly believe that these 7 young men from South Korea will be the ones to heal the world. I started listening to them in 2015 because my Granddaughter was in to them and I wanted to check and make sure of the quality of the music that they were putting out, meaning not 'trashy'. WOW! was I impressed. Now we are planning our first concert as soon as they are back on the road. What makes it really neat is that now my daughter and son in law are on board as well. Now we are a family of Army. Love them all equally but have a soft spot for our sweet little mochi, Jimin.
by people in power and the examples you gave id say all the above. they have songs where they call out the government. songs where they call out older generations. songs where they challenge the school systems. songs where they call out and diss media, music companies and corporations plus other artists who dissed them. they have a song for everything heres some recommendations but some songs need explanation videos due to cultural references and some needing more context besides the simple english translations. i gave specific lyric videos those have the best translations for those songs. theres probably way more than these but this is all i can think of right now :) bts baepsae lyrics and baepsae explained by dkdktv bts spring day and spring day explained by italain army channel bts n.o music video agust d ft RM strange lyrics video by zaty farhani bts airplane part 2 lyrics on channel face yourself agust d what do you think lyrics on channel DIAL 6137 bts am i wrong lyrics and read explanation on doolsetbangtan website RM and wale change lyrics video on channel DIAL 6137 and music video bts not today music video bts ugh lyrics on channel af taehyung and explained by dkdktv
please react to bts hardships 2013 - 2021 by xceleste its the most recent one the shorter one isnt updated and she explains them better in the longer one.
BTS are really inspiring... But their music and its quality and its messages are what creates army fans. So please do listen to more of their music. Here are some of my favorites Tomorrow, anpanman, respect, spine breaker, baepsae/silver spoon.
Hey man! Im 14 years old and i live in Boston childrens hospital and currently struggle with a heart disease! It would make my day alot better if you could react to "bts eternal bulletproof by park chim chim"
Hi I'm praying for you and hoping that you get well keep fighting and I'm glad you listened to bts music to make you feel better. Remember god always with you.
Be proud of youre daughter for standing a group with sucha good core values. This experience with BTS is something you can share together, i think its amazing. It goes even without saying but now days its hard to find Artist like BTS that spread sucha positive energy through their music and also in their personal lives as well. Good rolemodels. Thats something all of us want to show and teach to our children. 🙏🙏 Also, xCeleste has made a similar video about ARMY, explaining more about the fandom so if you interested learning more about that, thats a video i suggest you watch.😊
I appreciate your honesty and i genuinely enjoyed your reaction😊❤.I hope you have a great day💜. Actually xCeleste has an updated version of BTS Hardships,It's called "BTS Hardships and Struggles(2013-2021)"...i think it's 30 mins long but it's worth it and you can react to the full video,we ARMYs don't mind long videos.Prepare to get angry😅😂.If you want to get into their history,how they came together,the evolution in their discography and their achievements,i recommend a video called "The Most Beautiful Life Goes On:The Story Of BTS" by Asian Theories.And then if you want to know the individual members and what they bring to the table i recommend a video called "An Introduction To The Seven Members Of BTS(2021 update)" by Ida S. Lots of love of South Africa🇿🇦💜💜
You have to react to the most beautiful life goes on, the United Nations speech, “the introduction to Bts 2021 update”, “Bts hardship 2013-2021 update, “This will give you the better understanding, also “this is Bts Army” and lastly from “ nobodies to legends” I really love your reaction thank you for this
I am a 59 year old grandma and I am all about BTS and what they stand for. AMAZING young men and so talented. I do not know or speak Korean but I love their music. You can truly feel the words. Much love to their Army and all their love and support to these young men! Much continued success to them in ALL their endeavors!❤️🙏😊
I am a 48 year old ARMY from UK. My 2 teenage daughters introduced me to BTS last year and I haven’t looked back. We have become even closer after bonding over BTS music, messages etc. They are inspirational and fantastic role models so I am glad you can see that your daughter is listening to truly inspirational music.
Anyway, BTS will coming to UN general assembly for the third time this year (they also get invited to give a speech last year), as president special envoy from korea.
Love how you really listened to it and gave them a chance without any prejudices. Thank you! This is why we ARMY get so protective of them because they protected us, they inspired us, they helped us love ourselves thru their music. Sending you some love!
don't worry about the length of your videos while reacting to BTS. we ARMYs really appreciate it when people react honestly and acknowledge our group's hard work and talent. i really liked your reaction. thank you!
I'm 40, single mom, engineer and teacher. I found BTS last year at the height of the quarantine when I was about to lose my mind because of depression. Mic Drop, Daechwita, The Last pulled me into BTS' world. Now, I'm slowly healing, moving forward, loving myself more everyday. I'm in this purple world forever.
Yester BTS also received in South Korea as Special Envoy of Generation , their successful charting made them as Diplomats , on November 2021 BTS are invited in New York to Deliver again a speech in United Nation General Assembley.. Mark your calendar now💜
Now after watching all of the introduction,i wish you make a content about you and the whole family watching RUN Episode together......😁 it will be fun to watch,can't wait to see you place became one of HOUSE OF ARMY😄💜
I am waiting for your next reaction. And sorry to tell you but u have to react to more introduction videos. as every intro video has something different and important. And again we love u and u will become a big RU-vidr. So glad that u appreciate them so much. Thanks for a genuine reaction.💜💜💜💜💜🥳
My favorite introduction video to BTS is the one that focuses more on each member and gives personal background info. That one is "Who is BTS: The Seven Members of Bangtan (Introduction). I think that one would be useful for you to watch as well.
Btw, my business partner in Seoul told me that him and his friend used to get annoyed by BTS’ boss, Bang Sihyuk A LOT, because he kept asking for a loan or investment of $10,000 or more. But he just sent him away, saying No. Now he regrets it like hell. 😩😂 His friend LOANED him the 10k, but demanded it back asap and he did get it back by the time he promised to pay back. He too regrets it like a mofo. 😂 If he had INVESTED the money in Mr Bang, instead of loaning and getting it back asap, that money wouldve AT LEAST multiplied by 100, he said. Ouch.😂😂😂🤦🏻♂️
I just want to say I'm really enjoying your reactions! I fell into the BTS rabbithole last year, and it's been a crazy rollercoaster of a journey. There's just so much. But it's a blast going through it all. Hope you enjoy the journey! :)
"If things are unbelievable, then that's just what it is"...what BTS is achieving is unbelievable esp when they were not suppose to succeed. BTS was an anomaly even in their home country and now even on the global stage, people can't comprehend BTS success because within the preexisting establishments such an act was meant to be buried. As a 37 year old ARMY I realised how different they were and how the path they are chartering is unprecedented. Also this music critic has said that "BTS has no debt to the system" meaning BTS success does not benefit any of the exisiting institutions and establishments so that's why BTS success is underrated and underreported in comparisons to their peers in the industry.
You know how like in the US the most common thing I see in music videos is people talking about drug, sex ,abusing people ,or you know what I mean and degrading female and some males as well they don't talk about important stuff don't talk about like real life issues and I know because I mean I live in the US and I was used to listen to a lot of you know us music that they play on the radio and yeah but BTS is different which changed my life and my perspective of thinking and doing things you know and it also you know I could say they save me cuz I was going through some stuff and they are like the pillars that helped me stay alive and each and every one of them are amazing and I'm glad that they got the spotlight and now that they got the spotlight obviously they're getting more haters and the people in power yes mostly the government and people in power who have more money than them and can do stuff freely that's illegal that the people in power will easily get away with yeah 🥺😨
im subscribing!! hoping you will enjoy your BTS journey. BTS and their songs helped me when i was in a difficult time. im so grateful for their music and they're my inspirations!! and may i just say, your daughter is so lucky! you can go together to BTS concerts now💜
Suga once said that the day you discovered BTS is the day they debuted for you. No one is ever late. Enjoy your ride and allow them to help you bond with your daughter! I'm 48 living in Singapore, and I just discovered them just last Oct and have no regrets. They make me smile all the time and are such inspiring young men. 💜
Dean when you watch some of their older music videos there are some that have explanation/theory videos to explain what BTS was writing about. There are a lot of stuff if you aren't Korean you won't know. I've been a fan since 2016 because of how deep their lyrics are! These guys are amazingly talented. Glad you have found them and are starting your journey in the discovery of BTS.
I really enjoyed your reaction to this. It is quite emotional and inspirational. BTS is not just a group they are an entire universe! I would like to see you react to some of their live performances. Believe me you'd be blown away. You can react to their 2019 MMA performance. That is EPIC! By the way, don't feel so bad about now getting into BTS. You find BTS when you need them the most. 💜
After you're done with all the introduction to BTS. I'd like to recommend you to react to BTS Spring Day mv and its explanation video. Theres so many hidden messages behind the song and music video. I hope you'd check it out ^^
I'm 55 and found BTS last March at the beginning of lockdown from the pandemic. As Suga says even if you weren't there at the start, they day you found them is the day they debuted for you. Welcome
I am 59 and these young men came into my life when I was so low.. it is said that BTS finds when you most need them... and boy that is the truth in my life. They are some of the most talented entertainers there are out there...they are humble.. giving..all round good humans. I am thankful they came into my life when they did. My life has truly been changed. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🇨🇦
BTS is the reason I am alive. Im 30 years old , work in tech , live in California. Ive been dealing with PTSD for 8 years and refused to go to therapy. November 2020 of last year, I was waiting on a hotline. No one picked up. I saw in the corner of my eye a video called STAY GOLD by BTS. I clicke don it and for some reason even t hough I did not understand the lyrics, I understood the message. RM, the leader said music transcends language and thats right. I started to cry and realize how much Ive been supressing to not feel anything, happiness nor pain. Because of BTS, I started going to therapy, because their music makes me realize you must love yourself. you come first. even BTS struggles and still struggle today because humans arent perfect. They sing about so many meaningful things with great messages and set a great example (looking at zero controversies, huge donations to charity on their own dime etc). I am now an ARMY and I hope more people find them when they need them the most. I live din korea for two years and never cared about BTS I never know their music meant more than sounding poppy. I then discovered their rap line (first time in my life I heard rap not rapping about drugs or disrespecting women, but about REAL things. sugas first concert was at eminems i think). Im now working toward a promotion and I work at a large tech company and have held presentations to multiple departments for those who are curious about BTS. BTS reaches all ages all genders, all languages because they arent making music to make money, they are musicians with a message.
I love this video from Xceleste and I watch it from time to time, because I‘m really proud of BTS and ARMY. I love your reaction video. And you‘re not late, you found them now and you‘ll enjoy every moment. My kid introduced me to BTS and we are connected since then. An interesting video from Xceleste is the Review 2020, amazing what BTS did in that year. So hard working. Love from Berlin 💜
I am 63 found BTS 3 years ago. Every day they make my Life complete . They are so sincere caring . Their music gives me insperation HOPE. Thank you for joining us ARMY
I’ve been Army for about a year now. And every time I watch this video I legit 🥲 The saying goes that BTS finds you when you need them the most. Then you find out about all of the struggles they’ve endured yet they never waiver. They truly are bulletproof. After all of the success they’ve achieved they still make the time to help others. They will tell you that they always think of Army and that’s why they’re always trying to improve themselves. We need more BTS in this world! Glad you found them. Welcome and Borahae!
In power ? You got all the answers of who is that.. BTS have so many songs that been not officially released because of lyrics.. but you can checked it out too.. Please react also to orher BTS introductions Like - BTS Nobody to Legends -BTS Contribution to Music -BTS Crash Course 2020 History and Music -and each BTS Member Introductions There were hundreds of BTS contents , enjoy
Thanks for your feedback, but before you watch and react to other BTS videos, you need to meet each of these wonderful seven super talented guys ... for that watch..„ The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS (2021 Update!)”
Thank you for trying to listen to BTS, for starters, XCeleste made great introduction videos about BTS and ARMY, so I wish you'll react to more of her videos. and for song recommendation, I recommend Spring Day (and it's explanation video made by fans) and Permission to Dance. Don't worry about not knowing their names, because it took us some time as well to remember, and you are not late, they are still here with us :) Stay safe, and may your everyday be a good day
Small business owner, a BTS ARMY since 2016, up to this date they still talk to me through their music. Love the fact they do not sexualized women, they do not talk about relationships, they talk about loving yourself, anxiety, depression, social problems.. that's big for artists with this kind of influence. Also I love your reaction, I felt you an I were talking the whole time hahaha
Thanks for this! I will be so happy to watch you react to more BTS! I'm 68, they have opened so many doors for me, new types of music and a new appreciation for other cultures, all because I loved the way they were dancing in the first video I watched!
It’s just amazing because in the grand scheme this is the tip of the tip of the iceberg. I’m so excited about your reaction, we love it when our boys are appreciated. Thank you for diving in and welcome new ARMY💜
First of all, thank you for giving the Bangtan boys a chance. I really admire you for it. I feel sometimes when people think about the word "boy band", it could turn them off because the stereotype of boy band had in the past (boys singing & dancing about romantic love and screaming young teenage girls, etc) but then when you actually listen to BTS' music and learn their message, you will realize that BTS is far from a typical boyband indeed. However, most people already wouldn't give them a chance because of the word "Boyband". In fact, BTS 'fan base is so diverse in demography. Let me tell you this, I am a 42 years old with two young kids. I love BTS not just because of their visuals but their music, message, talent, hard working, and how & who they are, their music gives the positive and meaningful message, it is the kind of music that I would like my kids to grow up with (since a lot of music out there these days likes to talk about thug, drug, sex or other bad stuff.) I introduced BTS music to my kids and now we are fans of them. I think it is pretty cool that my kids and I are growing older and closer together listening to the same music. "If you listen to music without prejudice, you will like BTS' music". -- by Suga of BTS. I hope you’ll continue digging into BTS’ music and message. You’ll not be disappointed! PS.

You have just earned my subscription.. thank you for paying attention to all the info on the video.. I’m 56 years old, been ARMY since 2016.. not a day went by that I didn’t listen to their music… they helped me a lots.. they make me happy.. I’m deeply respected them as artists, as a genuine beautiful human being, beautiful on the inside…. There is a saying in our fandom is u will find them when u needed them most.. it’s really true.. as u delve deeper I guarantee u will love them more.. welcome to our fandom.. I’m pretty sure your daughters happy with your journey.. there are a lots of ARMY who family ridiculed them for loving BTS.. including mine but no more, I took few of them to theirs concert and now they understand why I love them.. they still tease me but without being mean…
Although it IS true that their fanbase‘ age has a very wide range, it is VERY INACCURATE to base their fanbase on the demographics of the ticketsales. Because many KIDS go to those concerts WITH THEIR PARENTS. And their parents‘ age ranges from mid/late 30s up to the 50s. Also, many guys go to those concerts because of their GIRLFRIENDS without necessarily being fans of BTS. Dont get me wrong tho. There are shit tons of male fans and older fans. Theres no doubt about it. Im just saying that the ticketsales demographics dont accurately display their fandoms REAL demographics. Besides, some people, who only know one or two hit singles, seem to just go for the sake of bragging-rights, because theyre the biggest group in the world right now and their concert tickets are an item of big envy for many fans.
Welcome to the BTS ARMY,,, 💜💜💜💜💜💜😀😀😀 The way you react, I'm in the same way for my first time react to bts. And now I'm one of the army and I'm 49 years old..!!
