![First Time Ever LISTENING To BTS | 2020 MMA Performance [REACTION]...I was blown away](/img/n.gif)
42 year old baby ARMY here. I don’t speak Korean either but I LOVE these talented and lovable group of guys! They are a light of my life. I recommend the 2021 BTS Room Live Festa to help introduce you to the diversity of their discography
Here are some answers to your questions and some more info about BTS as a group
1. Yes, all 7 members of BTS are Korean. Most of their songs are a mix of Korean and varying degrees of English and they occasionally sing/rap in Japanese too.
2. All 7 members dance in the group (and can you believe only 2 members had dance experience before joining BTS). But 4 members are vocalists and 3 members are rappers.
3. Here are the names of the members-
Jin- age 30- vocalist
Suga aka Agust D- age 30- rapper
J-Hope- age 29- - rapper
RM- age 29- group leader and rapper
Jimin- age 27- vocalist
V- age 27- vocalist
Jungkook- age 26- vocalist
4. Dynamite and Butter are 2 of only 3 songs of BTS that are fully English, but their discography including group, subunit, collabs, and solos is well over 300 songs.
5. BTS is an acronym which stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan in Korean which translates to bulletproof boy scouts in English and they debuted in 2013 with their debut song No More Dream. All current members of BTS are the original members. And BTS started out as a hip hop group but over the years have expanded their sound to include many other genres.
6. BTS as a group or as soloist have worked with numerous western artists like Coldplay, Jack Harlow Halsey, Latto, Charlie Puth, Steve Aoki, Desiigner, Lauv, Jawsh 685, Jason Derulo, Max, benny blanco, Snoop Dogg, Becky G, Kodak Black, NLE Choppa, JVKE, Muni Long, Nicki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion, Charli XCX, Fall Out Boy, J. Cole, Juice WRLD, Warren G, Wale, Zara Larsson, Lil Nas X, Sia, Anderson .Paak, Erykah Badu, Mahalia.
7. BTS have had 6 number 1 songs in the US- 2 members (Jimin and Jungkook) have also had number 1 songs separate from BTS, 6 number 1 albums in the US, and 5 Grammy nominations. 11 American Music Awards including Artist of the Year, 12 Billboard music awards, 10 MTV Video Music Awards, and BTS were the best selling music artists in the world 2 years in a row. All 7 members have had solo songs the US billboard hot 100 (the only Korean group to do this) chart and 5 members (so far) have had their solo albums on the US billboard 200 albums chart.
8. BTS hold the record of the top 2 most viewed music videos in 24 hours on youtube with Butter (108.2 million) and Dynamite (101.1 million).
9. The members of BTS are currently pursuing solo albums and activities because the group had to take a break to complete their mandatory military service in South Korea. If you are unaware military service is mandatory for all able bodied men in South Korea for a minimum of 18 months. 3 members of BTS (Jin, J-Hope, and Suga) are all currently serving in the military and the other 4 members will be enlisting soon (no exact dates have been announced yet for them). But recently all 7 members renewed their contracts to continue as BTS after their service is completed which they hope will be in 2025.
10. Thank you for your reaction and I hope you will continue to check out more of BTS music as a group and as soloists.
when did jungkook became 26??? omg for me he's still 21 😭😭😭
They did not re-new their contracts yet. That was a translation error and ARMY ran with it. Fact is, the contracts have been presented to the Board of Directors for review and that was made public as per Korean law. The contracts are now in the process of being presented to all 7 members but business journalists do not expect any re-newal before 2025 when all 7 members are out of military again. Signing all members now is also not allowed as the 3 members in the military are not allowed to sign any business related contracts during their military service.
@@sc0ttishlass Hybe says the Board has approved has filed regulatory papers. Negotiations are complete, each member has an attorney of their own. Today or yesterday BigHit announced a 2025 album.
@@1badlibrarian Bang replied that they are hoping for a tenth anniversary HYYH album. That could already be done, with the schedules they had before hand. Also he said that the boys had no restrictions in diet, dating etc. but we know that was not the case. He wants to keep his investors happy, that is why he suddenly announced the HYYH anniversary. Remember that in his interview with Forbes earlier this year he was not certain if they can keep the 2025 comeback and with new albums still coming out for three members, that date seems to be moving into 'not happening' territory.
Anyway, the Board of Directors - by Korean law - has to approve the contracts that the company wants to present to the artists. That was all that was done. They approved it, (including money offered upfront to the artists to sign the contracts) and NOW they go into negotiations with the lawyers of all 7, to negotiate their individual clauses and terms on said contract. Once that is done, the approved/vetted contracts are re-presented to the BoD, and after they give the nod, the contracts will be signed. That is the usual MO in most SE countries including Korea. It takes up to half a year from the time the contracts are presented to the BoD the first time. So we will be getting info about a renewal/re-sign of contracts by late March at the earliest for those members still not enlisted.
International ARMY read an incorrect google translation and ran with it. But if you had asked any Korean/KARMY they would have told you it was only the presentation of contracts to the BoD and that has to be made public as per Korean law.
So no, contracts have not been signed yet.
Regarding enlistments, if they only have to serve 18 months, they have until mid 2024 to enlist to be out by the end of 2025. I wondered if they planned for the last member to enlist right about the time Jin gets out. That way ARMY is not alone. Lol! I thought that might be the reason behind the line in Astronaut "I get heaven to myself", at least until J-Hope gets out. 😊 It'd be cool if it works that way.
A large portion of the fans don’t speak Korean, so you’re not alone :) Speaking from my experience on how I started listening to BTS, because they do a mix of Korean and English, I can get the gist of their sentiment from the english parts, song title, and the feeling of the song which includes how they’re singing it. Then I look up the lyrics and get blown away by how much deeper it is, and more thought provoking than I realize. After reading it, I actually remember what they’re talking about per verse when I listen to the songs. All their songs are already bangers (without knowing lyrics), but what made a lot of us army were the meaning of their lyrics and are relatable (pre-pandemic, before the three english songs). What you hear on the radio are songs that American radio will only play, and this goes with American/western media, at least at the time. They purposely write/paint a narrative that they are the bright poppy Disney-esque boy band that crazy fans go nuts for and not taken seriously as artists who actually write, compose, and produce their music. Instead of asking them questions like they asked Taylor Swift about songwriting, and being a real artist, they would ask them like what’s your favorite color or English word. These days the questions are a little less dumb in that aspect. Radio is still s*** though lol.
Black Swan lyrics talk about what happens when your passion for doing something you love goes away.
it's pretty difficult to react to their lyrics, music, choreo and imagary at the same time. Most reactors watch the video twice or pull up the lyrics first.
Hope you enjoyed BTS, and react to more of their songs.
As we are on "The Map of the Soul" it is a bit more than that.
It is applied Jungian psychology: their "shadow" as artists.
The shadow is the part of us we can't accept of ourself, the one that keeps us up at night and leaves us no peace: fear, anger, hate, small-mindedness etc. It is our unconsciousness.
But to "Love Yourself" you have to "know yourself": psychology
This is their "greatest fear" as artists: the fear to loose the passion for their art and they fight that in this song.
In "On" we get the acceptance and integration of the "shadow" into our conscious mind to accept it into the "Ego" together with the "Persona" (how others see us) to get as close as possible to our "true self".
Because the "shadow" IS part of us and only with accepting it we can fully become ourself.
(I so love BTS "coming of age" story!)
💜
54 year old ARMY. BTS has been around a decade now. There are 4 vocalist and 3 rappers, and they are a Korean group. The radio only plays their English songs they only have 3, I much prefer their non English music. They also have music in Japanese, which is amazing. They have music in all genres from rap, hip-hop, edm, pop, R&b, etc. which is what I love about them. No two songs sound the same. They recently been releasing all their own solo music before having to go in the military, which is mandatory in Korea. 3 have already started. The rest will be in by the end of the year or early next so they can be back as a group by the end of 2025. Each one is also great as a solo artist, and I recommend getting to know each member by checking out some solo work. Jungkook, the main vocalist, just released a solo song last week called 3D with Jack Harlow if you want to start there. That is actually all in English.
Hello, 48 years old BTS-ARMY here. They are singing mostly in Korean and a little bit of English in most of their songs. They only have 3 all-English songs DYNAMITE, BUTTER and PERMISSION TO DANCE which they released during the height of the global pandemic.
Hello, BTS ARMY here (since 2019)
to answer a few of your questions.
yes they are Korean, they are 7 members. They are loved by many not only because of their music but for much deeper reasons, which I hope you will eventually find out.
They do include english in their songs, they also sing in Japanese and as you mentioned at the beginning they sing in English. However most of their songs (300+) is in Korean.
I will comeback and look for more BTS reactions
I would recommend one of my favorites (i have so many)
MAGIC SHOP, they don't have an official MV so i recommend the live performance with English subs. I would include the link but sometime youtube deletes comments that include links so I hope you can find it.
Please be aware that ARMY are very protective of BTS so as long as you continue to react to BTS with an open mind and with respect (as today) then you will be welcomed with open arms.
Hello, thank you for watching and commenting. Truly appreciate it. I will appreciate the information on the group and will try to find the song your recommending. 300+ is wildly long music catalog, consider my interest peaked.
@@CuriousityTV-DraxThat’s just 300 tracks as a group. The rap line have all released solo mixtapes, and each member has released solo work this year as they prepare to enlist in Korea’s mandatory military service. They’ve been active for ten years, and their bench is DEEP.
@@CuriousityTV-Drax As a group, BTS music are indeed 300+ which seems quite a lot but that's just the surface, in reality BTS has created a lot more song outside of BTS, so if you really include everything, they should have atleast 590+ songs by now.
I took a quiz once, I managed to name 493 BTS songs in 30 minutes.
One might assume I'm an old fan of theirs for like 10 years, but in reality I've only discovered BTS just a year ago 💀.
What's crazier is that I can listen to any BTS song in less than a second and I can easily tell what song it is, what album and what year it was released.
Yet there's still so much BTS content I haven't seen, there's still a lot of hidden songs I haven't heard, and there's still lots of BTS shows and performance I haven't even started yet.
@@CuriousityTV-Drax 6:31 Yes, they can dance and everyone in the MV are BTS members. The one dancing alone in the spotlight is also a BTS member named Jimin. He's a hip-hop and a contemporary dancer as well as a Black Belt (highest rank) Martial Artist.
@@CuriousityTV-Drax Black Swan is about BTS fear of losing their passion for music.
"My heart no longer beats - when hearing the music play, seems like time has stopped, oh that would be my first death"
-That's literally the lyrics
It's fine to rewind and stop to read the lyrics, to watch it a 2nd time. I have watched Black Swan so often and still catch new details. They aren't afraid to go in different genres, to have an MV with a story but also rehearsals of choreography and various on stage performances. It's art, often with deep lyrics. Quite a phenomenon. Welcome to their extensive discography.
I am 49 years old and I have been in the Army for 5 years. Those guys came to brighten my days. once you enter the world of BTS you stay forever. 💜💜💜💜 Soy de Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Thank you for your open minded and honest reaction 💜
BTS is definitely worth checking out. They are widly versatile in genres, and are highly talented individually and come together to make meaningful music. They've been together since 2013 as a group, and even longer as trainees for Big Hit. Their bond between members and with Army is really precious. They're not only incredibly talented, but really inspiring human beings
Hi there! 51 years old BTS Army from Brazil 🇧🇷. Thanks for your reaction. Love to watching everything about this group, like their songs, choreography, different styles of music, their reality shows that is really funny and makes me forget about stress in life. They are talented, they write and production their own songs. We are fans from all over the world 🌎. Each member ( RM , Jin, JHope, Suga(AgustD), Jimin, V and JungKook) also has their on solo projects apart from being a group. 💜💜
Hello. Thanks for watching. Any recommendations on another one of there songs?
@@CuriousityTV-DraxUGH by rapline its a lyric video, please
Mic Drop.... 🎉🎉🎉
51 army too! Love this song
On kinetic manifesto and haegum by agust d (sugs)
BTS debut 2013 and are a South Korean band with 7 members, 3 rappers and 4 vocalist. The English songs you heard on the radio were 3 songs done during the pandemic to cheer fans up all over the world. I’d suggest watching the guide to the 7 members of BTS by Taylor. Black Swan is about losing your passion for your art hence their first death. All can dance but Jimin was a top student at a contemporary dance school before BTS and J-hope was also a dancer first. Suga and RM were underground rappers before debut. Unfortunately they have started enlisting in the military as it is mandatory in Korea and they will be back as a group in 2025. 💜💜
Hi my Dear, thanks for your reaction to BTS,7 young men super talented,musicians, composers, producers, great singers and dancers, they are amazing, I'm 69 years old Peruvian ARMY, I love them so much, welcome to BTS RABBIT HOLE,enjoy your journey, Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
BTS are super diverse they do it all and they do all genres you're in for a treat
BTS BIGGEST BAND in the world ❤️
BTS are a driver of tourism in S Korea. They’ve been invited to speak at the UN twice. They’ve held diplomatic passports. They’ve been invited to the White House. They’re the perfect example of cultural soft power. So far beyond a K-pop group or a boy band, although they wear those titles proudly. I’ve heard the words sensation, phenomenon, juggernaut used to describe them, and while that’s true, they’re also seven talented dudes who worked really hard, and by their own admission, got really lucky. The power of their charisma and brotherly group dynamic is matched only by their work ethic and humility. Welcome to Boraworld.
Thrice:
in 2018 for their "end Violance" capaign - RM's words were fantastic when he adressed the UNGA.
in 2020 with a message in the midst of the pandemic and
In 2021 for the SDG (Social Development Goals) moment that was part of UNGA this time specially invited and with diplomatic passport and one of the rare musical performance and the first with a full blown choreography filmed in the main building for "Permission To Dance".
According to the IFPI they were the recording artist of the year globally in 2021 and 2022 and second last year.
I also like that they are the only musical act on the "Legacy Makers 100" List which measured a different kind of brand ranking by the Legacy Lab.
💜
BTS BIGGEST GROUP in the world 💜
59 year old ARMY here. Thank you for your honest reaction. A very common thing when folks react to Black Swan is they stop and restart it, because it is so incredibly rich in meaning and musical textures. Even now, hearing it for perhaps the 100th time, I hear things in the layers of music production that I’d not truly appreciated before. It’s one of the many, many things that makes being a fan of BTS so rewarding.
Their range of genres is another wonderful feature that keeps me so fascinated by and devoted to them.
This is a beautiful journey you have started. Enjoy it.
Thanks for listening to BTS. Others have already explained a bit, so this may be repeating. They are a 7 member band (3 rappers and 4 vocalists) who write and produce their own music, openly sharing their life experiences and struggles.
They explore many deep and philosophical concepts including the likes of Demien by Herman Hesse, and Carl Jung's psychological theories outlined in Map of the Soul. From the very first song they debuted with (No more Dream) they have challenged preconceptions and societal prejudices. Because of the extent of their artistic freedom and their involvement in writing and production, I don't think they can be legitimately compared with any 'boy band' from the West. This is why we say they are not a boy band - because the term is too often misunderstood and diminishing.
They sing mostly in Korean with some English content: no one objects to you not knowing Korean. There are multiple fans who work to support non-Korean fans with translations. The few all-English songs are not typical. Thanks fro re-cuing - no one objects to anyone being careful to listen deeply and with care! We will have all the patience. And No One expects anyone to know everything immediately - there is just too much! They have over 300 songs and now they also have lots of independent solo work as well! Not to mention all the other content they have made for fans!
My preferred source for lyrics is www.dooletbangtan.wordpress.com. This site includes link to the MV, lists production staff involved, a brief note about the ideas behind any song, and lists lyrics in Hangul (the Korean script - easy to learn) and in English, along with brief notes on word play and cultural references as appropriate. BTS songs are extremely clever and we NEED those notes to fully understand what is going on! Modern MVs have subtitles, which are great, but often only offer surface meaning.
For example, Black Swan was written about a period when BTS, who had had about 5 days off in the previous 8 years, were experiencing burn-out and arranged to have 2 weeks (Two Weeks!) off, spending that travelling Korea and being with their families, who they hardly ever get to see. They were all seriously considering disbandment, but decided to stay together and signed another 7 year contract for their fans (not money). Black Swan, based on a quote from Martha Graham, explores their fear at that time that they had lost their passion for music, and how that would feel like a death.
Also feel free to rewatch with us. We all do it.
Me too, army since 2018. Im 61 and they have captured me totally...adore them. I liked your open minded reaction and i will come back for more. And.. i also can answer all questions you eventually have💜
BTS has three full English songs. The ones you've heard are Dynamite and Butter, and the remaining one is Permission to Dance. These three songs were all created with a poppy vibe to uplift people's spirits during the dark pandemic times, bringing hope and happiness. If you want to see their essence, I recommend checking out their Korean songs first. Next time, I recommend "On (Kinetic Manifesto Film)." This is the song we all ARMY love, and you will see amazing choreography, dope beat drop and inspiring lyric!! Thanks for your open-mindedness and giving BTS a chance! 💜💜
Here for BTS! Thanks for giving them a chance and being open minded! Many of us don’t speak the language, but their songs, mv or performance reach us without us having to know the Korean. And then you find yourself mumbling along, then searching for romanization to sing along… and then you’re in deep 😂
BTS: 7 members. South Korean. together over 10yrs. Hard working, talented, loyal, and humble. 3 rappers, 4 vocal line. All can dance, produce, and write music for the band.
Best MVs for newbies:
ON: Kinetic Manifesto
Run BTS dance practice
Mic Drop
Dope
Fire
Baepsae dance practice
They are very honest and discerning in their lyrics. Addressing taboo topics for South Koreans, like mental health struggles, societal pressure and inequalities, abused youth, and loneliness.
66yo male ARMY here. Yes, they are korean and there are seven members In a group. Three main rappers and four main vocalists although they all can cross over and do both.
My Silverback Dude! I love how more and more older ARMY are identifying themselves to help smash uninformed stereotypes about the fanbase :) I'm 54 next month, fan since the Spring of 2017.
47 years old Army from Greece 🇬🇷,i have seen all the big artists live and i mean all of them BTS for me are second in the word after MJ together with Rammstein,live only live 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for reacting to Black Swan. I'm in the U.S. and found BTS in early 2021 through this MV. The artistry of it - both visually and lyrically - drew me in and BTS and all it's individual 7 members are my favorite group of all time. That's saying something because I'm 66 years old. Their music generally is in Korean with some English, so you do have to read subtitles most of the time. The group is comprised of Leader "RM", 2 other rappers (Suga and J-Hope), and 4 vocalists (Jung Kook, Jin, Jimin and V). Since mid-2022, they are on "break" as a group because they are each gradually enlisting in South Korea's mandatory military service. However, during this time they are each putting out solo albums and/or singles, as well as other content they filmed in advance on occasion. Their discography as a group, and as soloists is extensive, so I do hope you'll check out more content. Newcomers tend to like MicDrop (a Steve Aoki remix) which is from around 2017. By the way, the Black Swan LIVE performance from their LA (2021) or Las Vegas (April 2022) concerts is absolutely breathtaking. These guys sing and rap while dancing. They've worked so hard to get where they are now. I have grown quickly to have mass respect for all of them. If you want to watch an introductory video about them, let us fans (known as ARMY) know and we'll recommend.
Hello! 55 year old from USA. Thank you for giving BTS a listen.
Their music videos are always top tier and stunning... live performances are where they REALLY shine!
I feel the pain of a slow internet connection just as you're doing a project. 😅
For reactions in foreign language (especially BTS), I'd maybe do a run through on just watching the video and then a 2nd view for the lyrics. In Black Swan they're talking about losing your creative passion or getting writers block but the sentiment can apply to anything in your life that's hurting you.
To me, the song is more important than the video, so don't sweat it if people complain about the slow down. Stuff happens with technology and just gotta deal with it.🙂
They also have videos of dance practices that help us see the whole dance. They're very intricate.
I enjoyed your reaction and open mindness to their music. Thank you for reacting.
Hi! Thank you so much for reacting to bts, and for being respectful & open minded! Subbed btw. I know it can be difficult to follow, it can take a bit to get used to reading subs, listening, & watching the mv's/ dancing when youre not used to it, but i promise it gets easier! Yes that is the whole group, all of them can dance as well as sing and/or rap. (4 vocalists & 3 rappers)
They are an incredibly diverse group, overs 300 songs (actually its much higher than that now but im not sure of the exact number). They do a multitude of genres, ballads, rap, edm, latin pop and on, & unlike the majority of kpop groups (& western boy bands for that matter) , they write the majority of their songs, as well composing & producing songs for themselves & others, and their lyrics are deep. Their music has helped so many of us get through tough times. ARMY (fandom name) is also unique for kpop in that they reach all ages , genders, races etc. (Im about to be 51, when i saw them in concert dec 2021 in LA, i went with my 18 year old kid & a 77 year old friend 😊)
If you tell us what kind of music you typically listen to, we can recommend songs more tailored to your preferences, as i said they do multiple genres and styles so theres something for everyone.
My suggestions:
~ For live performances if you go to the channel "enjoy bts more" they added subs to all the lives on their channel. Oh, it may get blocked on UA-cam but since you mentioned butter, check out the live performance they did for the grammys, omg they added some insane stuff to the choreo & made every other act look pathetic in comparison lol
(not all songs have mv's & tbh they often sound even better live, & yes they dance insane choreos whilt singing even super high notes, & srsly sound better live!)
~ for some songs like ugh!, ddaeng, idol and some others, if you go to the channel "dkdktv", you can watch _______ explained by a korean. Some songs youll not understand the deeper meaning if you dont get the korean cultural references and dkdktv does a great job of explaining them.
~ you should know ARMYs will watch you react to anything bts related no matter how long it is & how many times we've seen it lol. I say this because youre going to get a lot of requests (from me included 😂) to learn about the group and its members. We dont just love the boys for their music, but for who they are as people & their message. If you like extreme inspiring underdog stories, as well as positivity & being the best human you can be, youll love these guys. The best guide for this is almost an hour long but we *WILL* watch it with you, you dont have to cut it or worry. The guide is called "a guide to bts members: the bangtan 7" by taylor mari. No subtitles are need for this.
~ if reading the subs & watching at the same time are too much of a struggle , or if you want to make sure the translations are correct, you can google "doolset bts _____ (song title)" and they have the best translations for all of their songs, & they also explain any cultural references or wordplay in the lyrics, as well as when the lyrics reference another song, something a member said in the past etc. Some reactors will just listen & watch the mv and enjoy that aspect, while using doolset to dissect the lyrics, either before or after the mv.
~ you might get overwhelmed by ARMYs making suggestions etc, so know its ok to react to them at your pace, in any order you want. (Some ARMYs will tell you to react in order from debut onward, but its ok to do it your way, we will watch no matter which way you choose to do it.) 😊
~ with a fanbase as large as theirs, there will be some toxic "fans". (Imo those aren't real ARMY) Ignore them & know the majority of us are not like that. As long as youre honest and respectful (which you were in this reaction) we'll support you.
Song requests: a variety of styles:
~ BTS room live festa 2021: a portion of 7 different songs, in a casual live setting. Mix of styles
~ run bts either live or dance practice. I like the practice because you can see their dance moves better. The lights in the live make it kinda hard to see the moves. This is a high energy song with some really good raps. Side note, be sure to look up "bts run by bts" and be sure its from 2022 as they have an older song called "run" & their variety show is also called "run bts" they like to confuse us 😂
~ on kinetic manifesto mv.
~ fake love mv
~ house of cards live: vocal line song only, shows off the vocals with a semi bluesy, jazzy sound
~ ddaeng live, no mv. Rapline song. Crazy word play. (The word ddaeng has multiple meanings, they use at least 7 different meanings of the word!)
~
Ddaeng explained by a Korean by dkdktv. You could do these in 1 video if you want, as i said we like long videos lol.
Thats probably more than enough for now lol. Please please please react to more BTS content, including the guide! We'll love you forever if you do lol! 💜
Sorry for writing a book lol.
Hello French BTS Army since 2018 thank you for your respectful and genuine reaction !! I noticed you love dance I therefore recommande you to watch There performances during the MMA2019 awards show with English subtitles you will have a little glimpse of the versatility of there music and the insanity of there live performances singing and dancing and the uniqueness of each member.
Hope you will enjoy 💜
They are all members of the group. The solo dancer is a contemporary dancer. They sing in Korean and English.
Hello. Thanks so much for checkng out BTS. I am 51 and have been a BTS ARMY since 2014. They have a vast and very diverse catalogue. They also have over 10 years worth of non music content like behind the scenes, variety shots, etc. There are also many. many fan made contents. You could react to BTS for years and never run out of content to react to. Thanks again!
Get ready to go down this hole of BTS universe. They are literally different from other artists. They have different genres of music. It will be fun to be with you in this journey💜
I haven't even finished watching your video and I'm already subscribing, because you stopped and went back to understand the lyrics! I'm 54 years old. I've been part of BTS ARMY for 5 years now. You are in for a journey and I'm here for it! Please watch more! 💜
Jimin was the top dance student at Busan School of Arts before joining BTS. I love his dancing in Black Swan. BTS is 3 rappers and 4 vocalists. Each has their own record breaking solo work.covering many different genre they are known for their lyrics and love of their fans. Watch explaination videos.
If you have a particular genre you like, let ARMY know. While everything they do is amazing, sometimes new comers connect with a type of music that they enjoy. BTS may be a KPOP group, but they cover so much musical ground, there’s a good starting experience option for everyone. 💜
Hi. 51 year old ARMY from UK. I remember the 80s too. This group is so much more than the our concept of a boy band. All 7 members write and produce, their music is authentic to them. To give you an idea of the depth of their lyrics take this MV. This is fron their Map of the Soul series where they explore Jungian psychological concepts of Persona, Shadow and Ego. The shadow being your subconcious fears. In their case they took a quote from Martha Graham - a dancer dies twice, 1st death when theg can no longer dance and this death is more painful - and related it to their own fears. What if they lose their passion for making music right now? In Jung's theory you cannot reach self realisation if you do not acknowledge your fears and accept them. So this song is about yhem achieving that. The shadows in the MV move independently of the artist. At one point Suga turns and reaches out to touch his shadow and raps that he looked inside and saw himself. This means he acknowledged his fear amd realised it was just part of himself. At the end Jungkook sees the shadow and it shrinks and disappears. He has acknowledged and accepted his fear so he can move forward, shown in the MV by him turning and walking away. There are so many references to the movie Black Swan in the MV like the mirrors. Lastly, they are seen wearing white when you are viewing them on stage from thd audience point of view - this depicts their persona, the image they present to the viewers. When the scenes are shot iff the stage or from behind the stage they are wearing black, portraying thier shadow selfs. All together the sound and visuals beautifully present their struggles with their fear of losing passion for their art.
If you thought this was fast to read just wait for the Cyphers or Ugh. The lyrics on the MVs are usually pretty good but on colour coded lyrics they can be a bit wrong at times. I recommend the website Doolset for really good translations and it also provides brief explanations to the Korea culture/word plays to help understand.
For their early MVs the version on their own channel, Hybe label, does not have subtitles but on the channel 1theK they do. For live performances, because they are better live than in the studio!, always look for one with Eng Subs or use the channel Enjoy BTS More. She adds doolset english subs to them. Enjoy the journey 💜
They surpassed a boy band status. They are more of a vocal group. Bts has been around 10years. They have 300million fans worldwide. There are 7 members. Most if their fans are over 25. I'm 57.
Songs try - Mic Drop, Fake Love, Born Singer, Save Me. Spring Day.
To get to know them better watch Bangtan 7 by Taylor Mari.
Welcome. 💜
Army from canada
Thks for reacting
BTS is South Korean
3 rappers, 4 vocalists
But all sing and dance
They are a part of the K-pop industry but not a pop group per sw
They range from hip hop r&b pop edm etc etc
The discography is deep and there are thousands of dance practices, live perfromances
Behind the scenes docs variety shows etc etc etc
This is our rabbit hole and welcome to it lol
Army loves to watch a reactor when BTS finds them… we support replays rewinds pauses etc and like long af videos too
I suggest the following
Def magic shop live with subs
It’s one of the many songs that were written for army
Also
On kinetic
Manifesto
Not today
Dope
Fire
All
Official MV’s
💜💜💜
Nice reactions; BTS is so multifaceted (the music, the depth of the lyrics, the Korean, the dancing, the videography, sets, costumes), it's always a lot to take in--especially for first-time reactors. Glad to see you just taking it in with an open-mind and enjoying; there's hundreds more, so have fun!
BTS songs, for the most part, are sung in Korean and English
This song is from their Map of the Soul series which is based on the psychological theories of famous Swiss psychologist Carl Jung. Jung theorized that the human psyche has three parts: the Persona (how other people perceive you, the Ego (how you perceive yourself, and the Shadow (the part of yourself that you try to hide from both others and yourself. All your fears, weaknesses and shortcomings) Jung suggests that to find true happiness and be at peace you must accept all three parts of yourself including the shadow. No matter how painful that process might be. In this song BTS is referring to the shadow as a black swan, and is talking specifically about their fear of one day losing their passion for music. At the beginning of the song they are full of fear and the shadow is huge and cannot be controlled, moving on its own. But by the middle of the song they are able to master their fear, and at the end of the video the giant shadow shrinks down until it disappears. So this song is just one step in the process of accepting their shadow as part of themselves and becoming whole.
Hi, I'm from Brazil too and welcome to Army's Universe...you'll love react to BTS...and Yes, they are seven...good luck❤
Dynamic and butter are grreat songs too even though they are more like pop songs, they are so uplifting and good vibe.

Hi 48yr old ARMY since 10/07/21 and i have never been into any group more than i am with BTS, It's not just their music but the meaning behind all the song's, the way the love their fans and just the remarkable men they are, plus their dance moves help alot aswell lol If you want to get to know BTS please watch [ THE GUIDE TO BTS, THE BANGTAN 7 ]💜🔥💜
There’s SOOO MUCH to WATCH, listen to, take in on ALL THEIR VIDEOS. ARMY will WATCH even if you stop and go back many, many times. A tip from one English speaker to another: listen/watch video at least 3 times. First, just to get the visuals, 2nd for lyrics & understanding & 3rd - put them both together. It is confusing. Take your time. ARMY is patient & kind & just excited for a new reactor to see/hear what we do! Phenoms.

Plz also react to the intro video "Guide to the BTS Members" by the channel Taylor Mari, it'll be recommended to you a lot as it's a very popular guide video. Don't mind the length of it, plz don't cut out parts.
They all sing and dance. The featured dancer on this one was Jimin and he is one of the vocalists. Ty. I hope you do more BTS. You will get used to the subtitles in no time. To be honest I watch all MVs with subs now because it feels so natural. I realized that even with music in English I didn’t know what they were saying half the time. There has never been a boy band like this before. I always say that comparing BTS to a boy band is like comparing a computer to a typewriter. 😊 they write and compose. Tks again. Did someone already mention that this songs ties to a Martha Graham quote that A dancer dies twice, once when they stop dancing, which is by far the hardest. 💜
Hello and Welcome to ARMY I really enjoyed your honest reaction, I have been ARMY Since 2017 and I recommend Magic Shop as well There is a Channel ( Enjoy More BTS ) That just posted a live video of Magic Shop with English Lyrics, She Has a lot of Their Songs That Don’t have MV’s for them.!! Please feel free to pause and read lyrics as much as you need, they do go fast and even I after being ARMY Since 2017 have to rewind to reread lyrics and interviews especially when they speak and or sing and rap really fast, ARMY Will tell you that we long videos so don’t ever feel like you have to try and do it all in one go!!
Thanks for your reaction. There is so much to take in. The visuals, the dancing, the music, the lyrics. I find it helps to watch once without the captions and then a second time with the captions on. Hope you check out more. 💜
You actually caught a lot for a first time through Black Swan! If you watch more BTS, you might want to plan to go through things a few times, or read the lyric translations in advance - it's a lot to take in. You can do it however you want to, whatever you'll enjoy. They have ten years' worth of music as a group and now they all have solos out as well. :D
This is a favorite of mine - every version of it is beautiful. I'm glad you recognized that the dancing didn't look easy. It wasn't. :) Jimin's dance solos in this drew heavily on his dance background. They're telling a story through his movement.
I appreciate how thoughtful you are, and I'm looking forward to watching more of your reactions. Seeing things through your eyes is really enjoyable.
I'm 51y/o ARMY (and metalhead). BTS cannot be compared to your typical boy band or any other group tbh. There's 3 rappers and 4 vocalists, you should check out the guide to BTS by Taylor Mari for better perspective 💜
52 year old UK ARMY here. They are a 7 member group. You should watch and react to The Taylor Guide. Welcome to the rabbit hole.....
Also, ALWAYS WATCH TO THE VERY END, END. BTS surprises you many times!
Turning on the English captions are a must.
Thanks for reacting to BTS. They have fans worldwide, all ages, ethnicities, etc. I’m a 68 yr old fan.
Be patient with yourself. There is a learning curve to read the lyrics while watching. Feel free to stop, go back if you need to. They sing mainly in Korean, but mixed with English. They also sing some in Japanese. I they are the only group to be on the charts in three languages (can’t remember if that at the same time or not).
BTS sings many genres and their lyrics are usually much deeper than normal K-Pop. They are honestly just as good, if not better, live. A lot of people are going to suggest for you to watch Taylor Mari’s guide to BTS, and I will join them. I have seen reactors kind of reluctant and once they do, EVERY SINGLE ONE says they are glad they watched it.
Some song suggestions to start:
(mvs., Live)
“Fake Love”
“Mic Drop”
“Fire”
Rap
“Cyphers”
Vocalists
“House of Cards” live
“Jamias Vu” live
“Truth Untold”
BTS is a group of 7artists, 3 rappers and 4 vocalist's.
All of them are great dancers but 2 of them are,,TRAINED " dancers.
Thank you for your reaction 💜
Thanks for your reaction
many new fans have a hard time taking in the video, and reading lyrics. I had to watch them twice for a while. That was not a hardship. LOL. Thank you for giving BTS a chance. I hope you will watch more. ARMY will watch with you and try to answer your questions.
& guys 3 rappers 4 vocalists, 7 amazing performers, voices, and just great guys. They are Korean, you'll get used to reading and watching. EXCEPT, you will never be able to keep up reading Suga or RM's rap.
They were all members of BTS :) It is just that they are all both vocalists and professional dancers. In this particular song, the solo dance parts are being done by one of the singers, Jimin. Jimin is a trained contemporary dancer, so he really shined in this music video.
Watch their dance practice video to see their full dance choreography because they doing it live too.
I just found you and I will now sub and watch all your BTS reactions. You were very respectful and genuine with your reaction. If you dive deeper, you will find ARMY are very protective of BTS and for good reason.
Thank you!
BTS is 7 members. There are 3 rappers and 4 singers and all dance. Jimin is the member that do the contemporary dance in this video as he is the only member trained in that dance style.
One song consists of lots of content, mv, dance practices, behind the scenes making of mv etc …. Deep dive you can watch it first then rewatch for subtitles to get what the lyrics are …
Bts is an amazing group, thanks for giving them a chance, my recommendation is "Mic drop" and 'ON kinetic manifesto".❤❤
Welcome welcome welcome
got dizzy 😵 good thing I can zoom in the video
Thanks for watching and Apologies for any unintentional response to the video. Future videos won’t have that effect.
It's really common for Koreans to put English lyrics in Korea because they learn English as the second language (It's the global language) in school. So I never even thought about the English lyric part in the song
To know more about them, I recommend you to react to:
This is BTS by Xceleste
Or Introduction to the Bangtan 7 by Taylor Mari
Thank you for reacting 💜
BTS 🫰💜💜💜💜 saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
BTS -Army 57 años 🇲🇽💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks for your open-minded reaction! This was a great first song for you to watch and listen to. Yes, the group is 7 members: 3 rappers and 4 vocalists from S Korea ranging in age from 26-30. You'll get a lot of info from other ARMY, so I'll just leave some additional song recommendations: Fake Love, ON: Kinetic Manifesto Film, and Mic Drop feat Steve Aioki. 2021 Festa Room Live gives snippets of about 7 songs showing off a lot of their diversity. Thanks again!
I love this song so much 💜
They are based in Hip Hop but use many different genres and mix genres as they like.
More btss❤
Great reaction
BTS лучшие во всей вселенной!!! 💙💛💗💚🧡💖💜👍👏
BTS is compose of 7 Beautiful, Talented Singers.. -3 Rappers - RM, Suga and JHope; 4 Vocalists - Jin, Jimin, V and Jungkook.. They are Koreans.. and their fandom is called ARMY 💜
Hi 👋 With "Black Swan," BTS divulge their most harrowing shadow yet, one that any person who lives for making art faces: losing the passion for creating.
"A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful." Martha Graham. This quote is at the root of the sentiments inlaid in "Black Swan." Much like a dancer feels purposeless when they can no longer express themselves through dance, BTS contends that the day that music no longer fills them with the same passionate fire as before, or even if there came a day when they stopped creating music - what they feel is their life's purpose - it would feel like death.
RM sings, "If this can no longer resonate / No longer make my heart vibrate / Then this may be how I die my first death."
Once again, BTS affirm that despite their countless record-breaking accolades, the wealth they've amassed, and their ever-increasing fame, they are artists. What means most to them is the art - music, visuals, dances - that they create.
Thanks for sharing your reaction
Have a great day
They are a 7 member group from S Korea, 3 rappers,4 vocalists, they wrote and produce most of there music! You should check out the guide to the 7 members of Bts bangtang by Taylor it will give you some background and how they became Bts!
If you love a good laugh, they also created their own show Run BTS
It's hard to give you suggestions because I don't know what kind of music you like. Pick genre and they have a song. Like jazz? House of cards would be my choice. Like rap? Ugh or Ddaeng would be my choice. Like ballads? Your eyes tell would be my choice. So it really depends on kind of music you like and be prepared to have your thinking cap on. A lot of their songs are deep. Thank you for reacting to these 7 men! 💜😁💜
There are 7 members, the rap line is composed of RM, Suga and J-hope and the vocal line is made up of Jin, JK, Jimin and Tae
Hi... I'm BTS army from Indonesia....

Great reaction video for BTS, super interesting!
Hi! 52 years old BTS Army from Chile. Thanks for your reaction.
BTS 💜
Welcome to down the BTS rabbit hole! Hopefully you will identify as ARMY (BTS fanbase) soon!
7 south Korean members of BTS.
It has subheadings on the bottom . It was actually pretty slow . It probably wasn’t an ideal song to introduce them . They sing RnB, Latin songs , EDM . They debuted in 2013 .
IF your interested in knowing about them , I can recommend the documentary 7 members by Celeste . Thanks for reacting ❤
Nice reaction! You'll have a lot of questions and we have all the answers. They have many facets. You'll be amazed.
