Watch me panic over BTS for 41 minutes (respectfully) 

I loved your interaction with the chat :) Just so you know: Army can sometimes be a little overwhelming cause we are all excited to see your reaction to our favorite songs. It‘s possible that you get flooded with links and suggestions. But we are also very patient and will wait for our favorite reactors. So please don‘t feel pressured and go at your own pace. There is no right or wrong way to discover BTS. Love goes out!

Please watch BTS On commentary film dialogue from bangtan tv channel

I LOVED your interaction with the chat!!! Long time ARMY here. You do you GF. Don’t let anyone tell you the right way to ARMY. You only fall down the rabbit hole once, so do it your way!

@@Kiki-cm1pm thank you, love 💜💜 I’m just glad you’re all so loving and accepting!!!

@@YULuvThatHipHopShit thanks, love 🥹🥹 down the rabbit hole we goooo

She would lost it for Fake love PTD concert..

She definitely would!!!

Haha I also think that 😁😂

Black Swan live PTD concert with Tae in black feathers and light contacts. You completely lose it 😂💜🇨🇦

I'd love to see her watch 5th Muster's Pied Piper!

The Jimin Effect is all over RU-vid, so many straight men reacting to Jimin and falling for his gorgeous face, cute eye smile and sexy dance 💜

@@jannielee462 yup

@@ProSkillzDragonGal yup She’s pretty much Toast when it comes to Jimin. Good luck to her with Blood sweat and tears

@@lollypop2294 omg that MV literally killed me

@@lollypop2294 The live stage version of Jimins Lie is an absolute masterpiece just like Jimin. It's actually a Grammy worthy performance and his dancing and voice top notch. She would lose it over Lie

You’re the only one here looking out for me - everyone else wants to watch me SQUIRM

And the dance practice for BS&TS being THE VERY FIRST thing I ever saw of BTS! LOL

@@UKNOBTS you are our strongest soldier lol

@@alexray_ lol why should we save you? you should fall in the BTS rabbit hole/pit and experience the Jimin Effect like every Army does. #nomercyforya darling!

That was the “what have I done” moment Lolol

@@alexray_ if nobody asked you to react to “on kinetic manifesto” during this stream… I’m gonna be severely depressed lol bc that’s iconic

sweet baby Jiminnnnn

@@alexray_ I suggest you to react to Black Swan and Fake Love again cause besides the visuals, the lyricism and meanings in BTS songs are what makes their songs special

@@alexray_ another thing, can you please pause the vid if you aren't looking at the screen to see the chats besides you? Cause I don't want you to miss some parts in the vids, cause it's all precious Tho I wouldn't it as long as you watch those vids again

I’m with you on that. When she was reacting to Jimin, I was like oh girl you just wait!

@@30midnightdolphinesame thing here!

😂

🤣🤣

Ikr I can't with her reaction XD

I enjoy how often Jungkook is Jungshook. It's a very useful word that way 😂

I was wondering if she saw the PTD concert clip of this she would die, body chains, knee high boots and crop top.. Girl you have not seen anything as yet..😅

I have jimin’d as you say

LOLOL I mean it’s the appropriate response

@@alexray_ plz do react to it if possible for fun some day..cuz it's hilarious.. "Jimin making guys question their s-e-x-u-a-l-i-t-y for 11 mins"

I LOVE JIMIN

@@alexray_ same

freaking. cinema. everytime.

@@alexray_ well, how fitting they just announced that the latest concert will be shown in cinemas in February.😂

@@Lina-sq6rd lol 😂,it's true..🤣

@@alexray_ 8:39 OMG!!! 🤣🤣 You've been caught by the Infamous Jimin Effect ✨ You can search it in urban dictionary cause that phenomenon is a real thing 🤣 and there are a lot of victim Most reactors who first time react to BTS also tend to notice Jimin Cause Jimin has that effect on people that make them feel a certain type of way that's hard to explain It's either you find him, very cute and adorable, or hot and sexy, or just unbelievably pretty or ethereal And just like what you said, most reactors also tend to describe his voice as non-human and his face as ethereal But anyways, what amaze me more is his ability to attract both genders 🤣 Like STRAIGHT men who were caught by the Jimin Effect are so simp for him xD And their reactions towards Jimin is just so funny But anyways the Jimin Effect target anyone, which means not just women or men, but even asexuals or lesbian are whip for this man Not just sexuality or gender, but also race and age doesn't matter to the Jimin Effect either So even little kids at age of 2 or just am infant and oldies like your grandparents Can be caught by the Jimin Effect

@@alexray_ 25:32 Please look at the screen more carefully cause you're missing a lot of parts 😭😭 By the way, the one also dancing in the dark is Jimin, the one with blue hair with courset

Omg an Army couple that’s so CUTE

@@alexray_ hahaha thanks! And we are older (me, 59, hubby 48) but we stay up watching BTS content on the weekends and alternately cry when we are overcome with emotion or scream when we are fangirling out!! True story!!

Hey, we are 67 and 73. My husband makes sure we get all the albums and the tickets to SOFI. Armys love to tell us how cuuute we are. 🙃. That’s fine.

we're on my 9th warning for blood sweat and tears I'M SCARED

@Alex Ray Music Be afraid. Be very afraid. Also Outro: Singularity. Those are thirst songs. Other songs likely to make you burst into tears are Answer: Love Yourself and Magic Shop, especially the live versions for both. I will you say one other thing. Many of us came to BTS during our lowest times. The kind of times when all we could manage was our own version of a sloth hoodie. I personally credit BTS with saving my life. We have a saying that we don't find BTS, they find us when we need them most.

Be afraid, very afraid. They are a thirst trap with heart, soul, intelligence, depth and compassion. Amazing doesn’t even begin to describe what you’re going to experience. 💜💜🇨🇦

LOLOL I KNOW like i had my vocal coach side out to play then BAM sex appeal caught me off guard

@Alex Ray Music we as ARMY, all have been where you are. Suga has said, that whenever each ARMY find us, is our debut for them. So we all know how you feel.

@@alexray_ snorts

Thanks love 🥰 I’ve jimin’d as you say 😉

Mid-forties here and I've watched enough Korean content now to be excited to meet someone my own age 😂 And same! I wasn't expecting any of this. Finding ARMY enriched my life so much too. I didn't know I was about to gain a giant family. 💜

my sista from another mista! seems we all fall the same rabbit hole

Mid forties ARMY here too! Hey!! I can't wait for Alex to see their draw dropping range of individual talents as men outside just the music videos. The advice and things I've learned from Suga and RM I use almost everyday to get me through, especially in their solo albums, mixtapes and vlives. The self-care, love and acceptance of myself I've learned again from Jin and Jimin, J-Hope's laughter and professionalism, V's chameleon beauty, grace and charm, JK's fierce love and bravery in showing his emotions, and on and on. I quote them all the time, I watch study ASMR videos of them to help me with my focus and work ethic (since theirs is BEAST MODE, right). I found BTS and ARMY during Trump, BLM and COVID. They saved me, Thank God!

I, too am a mid 40’s person, grad-school in anthropology, and my 94 year old auntie also loves these guys.

@@shannonunruh-hallock2522 waving from sociology 😁

It's so fun! Reliving the "wait who is THAT" moment is why I watch these videos 😁

😁👉👈

@@evantesseract737 Yes 😂

me too...🥰🥰🥰🥰

Same 😁💜

I feel like I need to watch everything three times - once to panic, once for dance and production, and once to process lyrics

I loved your comment! Hugs sister army!

It is! They make references to "that would be my first death." “A dancer dies twice-once when they stop dancing, and this first death is more painful.” - Martha Graham.

The Jimin effect hit us like a TRUCK

@@alexray_ yep 100-%

same here 😂 , i watched her " Dimple's " reaction first and subscribed instantly😁 i love all the guys but jimin is my ULTIMATE bias🥰 ....

Oh my god oh my god oh my god GDIEBDIGNEODNF you know my thirsty ass can’t handle this info 💀💀💀🫠

Black Swan is my favorite BTS song. Ish. I love whichever one I'm listening to, but I come back to Black Swan. When you dig into the meaning, it just... It's heartbreaking. It's grief and fear and desperate hope. And then they dressed it like that. Jungkook in a corset about killed me - he reminds me of my son normally 😂 There's an orchestral version. There's an art film. They did a dance to the orchestral version for MMA 2020 on a flooded stage. And there's a shooting sketch for the video as well as a behind-the-scenes focus on Jimin filming that dance solo. It's all worth seeing, but do yourself a favor and watch that last one. You see how much work went into it, and he's an incredibly beautiful dancer to watch.

i stopped breathing when that man looked ihto the camera holy FUCK - thank you for watching and so glad you're on the journey with me!!!!

@@alexray_ May I recommend Wildflower and Still Life on RM’s new Indigo album? The whole album is literal art like the man he is!

Aw thank you 🥹

I’m sorry wait what they dropped That. Out of NOWHERE??????? Omg how are you breathing. I’ll def check out the live version

(I’m a lawyer too!!)

@@alexray_ yup, unannounced, out of nowhere, here ARMY, DIE! They love us like that. They had given us the Art Film, which was remix done in a more classical/contemporary style and it was performed by the MN Dance Company. Here’s the link to that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vGbuUFRdYqU.html The barefoot live version was performed in the James Corden show. This is the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wSNd02kVv8o.html

@@alexray_ I know you’re a lawyer, and it’s why I mentioned it, so you wouldn’t feel out of place or anything. I don’t normally go around telling ppl I’m a lawyer lol

Also they're a veryy nice human beings you can check their own show run bts it's therapeutic

NO ONE WARNED ME ABOUT BLACK SWANNNNNN and okay! we're going to react to a ton more mvs on stream so I'll add those to the list!

Youre luckyto have seen him in person. 😭

and i cannot jim-out

Nooo, not the stage mix, the constant outfit and hair changes are sooo distracting to the absolute amazing performance that is Serendipity.

i suggest the japan live performance of Serendipity , not the mix 😁😂

@@miacakorosenai1576 Glad I'm not the only one.... 😂 ALL Serendipity performances are 👌 but my favourite is this one. Not sure where it's from but I love the simple outfit he is wearing. It highlights his dancers body, shows off all his movements and fits the choreo perfectly 🤩 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oaxpbDOZjA0.html

@@maggan2808 yes ,i love all of his serendipity performance , and the one you shared too 🥰 , but this is my fav pne😁 his outfit highlighted his dance in every side view choreo . and there's few close.up to see her face reactions 🥰 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mbPpYemLE5g.html

I definitely will! Thank you for watching

That was so nice thank you 🥹 and thanks for accepting me into the Army!

THAT COVER IS SO GOODDDDDDDD. thank you for watching!!!

its weird seeing a 1D stan become a fan of suga, lol. Most yl suga are hiphop heads favorite And guys tend to like him ,RM and jhope more too

@@Random-qi3vv I’m 70 yrs old woman & was never a 1D fan (my awkwardly written OP is confusing). I’ve actually never been a fan of any boy band although I’ve had decades of opportunity beginning with the Beatles. All it took was one mv, and I was instantly captivated by BTS. Suga’s mesmerizing stage presence, savage beats & brutally honest lyrics were irresistible.

@@Random-qi3vv I think op was referring to Alex being a 1D fan so she'll appreciate JK's cover of Falling 🙃

I’m so happy you’re here and thank you for subbing 💜💜💜 I share the Jimin bias, love 🥰

O wow! Thanks for this fun fact re Taylor’s video! I love Taylor Swift as she is a true fighter also…she has so much courage holding her own in this crazy industry that is notorious for abusing artists, etc. She is a hero. Learned something about her struggle and how it connects with BTS too in this explanation ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Uzc886bX29w.html We know how BTS/Army are with the entertainment industry…it is fate that an unusual name “Bangtan Sonyeondan” was chosen…that’s insight from up there….somehow the universe knew we’d all need that at this era…

@@wongpauline22 didn't watch the video you linked but from the comments itself I know it's something we should all stay away from. We only trust BTS here. We don't need these outsiders making theories about them. Please don't get swayed by these random youtubers.

You are after my own heart!!! I’ve asked a couple people, but where would be best for me to place the lyric dive? Before, after? Or stop throughout the song?

@@alexray_ personally I like when people do blind reaction to their lyrics too. That way you won't get spoiled about the song. Reading lyrics after you hear the song seems more appropriate to me personally.

@@alexray_ I've seen some reactors listen to the song/mv, then watch it a second time to take in the cinematography, then do a deep dive of the lyrics, then react to the dance practice. Seems like a lot, but ARMY's love long videos (if you haven't guessed already lol). Do it at your own pace, so no worries!

and also their live performance of Black Swan at PTD Los Angeles

I'm so happy you're here and I can't wait to get to know BTS and the members better!

Thank you so much for watching!!!! 💜

@@alexray_ you are very welcome looking forward to seeing more of them

I'm a 54 year old Army, and my adult kids think that BTS is "just a K-pop boy band that does pop music only. I told them that BTS themselves say that their music resides outside of being labeled as a K-pop/ hip-hop band because their music is written and performed in ALL the genres. Actually, I would describe them as being in a class all by themselves, both literally and figuratively. They are the trailblazers who are creating music that blends genres, thus expanding and making innovative music. They are trend setters. They started putting out reactions to their own music videos. Now, it is standard for any idol group to do this. At the beginning of their career, they were not featured on variety shows because they came from a small and relatively unknown company. They created their own variety show in order for their fans to get to know them better. Their show has become legendary in its popularity. Now, it is common practice for idol groups to do this. BTS began to submit their work to the American Grammy Awards. Now, other idol groups are doing this. All of the above reasons are why BTS are revered by both their fans and their own peers, and I would say, from netizens around the world. It is their ever-present kindness, insane musical giftedness, and their unfailing humility that has endeared them to my heart forever. Borahe!!! 💜 💜💜💜

@@lisahess1027 I agree whole heartedly with what you said and yes that is exactly what is going on they are so much more than what people label them as I for one try to show people and get them to understand and I've got a few people to like them and I'm meeting more Army than I thought there was here in this area lol but there is so much more people don't understand about them it's sad I even have my mom listen and liking their music she is 72 so it really can be for everyone

@melissa morris50 My Mom is 80, and she doesn't like them. She likes the ballads better, but she doesn't like rap. She teases me about being "too old" to be starstruck. I look at her and say "Beatles" anyone? She saw them in person.

Oh also… BTS has a crazy fictional storyline that runs throughout their albums called the “Bangtan Universe,” AKA the BU. Tiny bits of the storyline were teased and revealed slowly over the years in music videos, comics, notes that were packaged with the CDs, etc. Fake Love’s music video is pretty heavy with the BU stuff, so that’s why there’s all this symbolism that makes absolutely no sense to a casual viewer…. Suga and fire, Jimin and water, V and phones, J Hope and carnival equipment and snickers bars… et cetera et cetera. Blood Sweat and Tears, while amazing, will probably be equally confusing when you watch it. 😅

Omg I need someone to write a novel on all this 😅 thank you so much for the guide and the sub!!! What a beautiful concept (the BU)

@@alexray_ Technically someone did write one. There is a webtoon on it called "Save Me" that expands on the BU

Oh I love them already!! I have cried, I have laughed, I have thirsted - the dualityyyy. Thank you for subbing!!!!

NO NO NO I CAN'T HANDLE OILED ABS OR FLYING BUTTONS

@@alexray_ oh sure you can...it's on Disney+ channel btw, the concert is called "Permission to Dance" (after their full English pandemic song written by Ed Sheeran) 😉

Overload is the perfect word for it 💜💜🫠🫠

Also, you have an amazing voice! Wow

I love youuuuuu 🥹🤍

I hope your week has gotten better, love 💜💜💜 I’m so glad you liked the video and BTS is so wonderful and multifaceted!

+1 to all of this! Taylor's guide is very good, and looking up the lyrics is almost always worth the effort 😁

I like watching all 3 live Born Singers in order. They've changed but they haven't. Tears every time.

Aww thanks, love 💜
