  • Hi there :) Welcome to Chapter 1 of Rise of Bangtan!! I was amazed at the QUALITY of this!!! It seriously is like a high budget production documentary. I was really grateful and shocked at learning information about Kpop as an industry as well - these are things I would have never known. Also, I am super excited for Chapter 2 because we will get to see their debut!! See you next Thursday!

    Do you know about Korean age? Koreans count people’s age differently. They count the time the baby was in the belly and they rounded up, so a baby is born as a 1 year old already. Everyone in Korea also “grow older” together on New Year’s Eve. For exemple: V was born 12/30, he was 1 year old already, the next day, on New Year’s Eve, he and everyone else in Korea got older, so, on 01/01 he was 2 days old by Normal age, but 2 years old by Korean age. When Jk says he graduated school at 16, I’m guessing he’s referring to Korean age, he was probably 14 years old but normal age.

    Hyung is basically saying older brother it's what younger males (or actual blood related younger brothers) call an older male so jk has to call all of them hyung while Jin the oldest doesn't have to call any of them hyung. Also for the future just incase you hear these words come up "Oppa" is what a younger female calls an older male or their older brother "Noona" Is what a younger male calls an older female or older sister and "Unnie" Is what a younger female calls and older female or older sister. These terms are very important and you will hear them with Koreans in general because Korea is very big on respecting your elders.

    27:54 this is important‼️this is what made BTS different from the rest. Notice how the CEO Bang PD said he did not impose strict mandatory practice schedules and they were given artistic freedom compared to other trainees from the other companies...but of course the boys still practiced non stop out of their own desire to be better. We believe this is what made BTS achieved what no other Kpop group has done, Bang PD definitely trained these boys out of the standard regiment. They always had a voice and say about the music they will put out. Notice how involved especially RM and Suga on the music making process even at the beginning just how like Jimin described. :)

    • @angartsnirex
      @angartsnirex 2 роки тому +1

      They did it because they wanted it so bad. Not brcause the rules are imposed for them to do better. Rules are of course still there, but the passion to do th3 best is in their own discretion. That despite their hectic schedules, they strive hard even with tint budget because again they really wanted it so so so bad. PLUS, It is very helpful that they enjoy each other's company, so i think them as a group, together, they pull themselves as one on top without leaving one hanging. They help eachother. They wont succeed if one is lacking. Jin i think has the most diffeicult time because he said he spent more time practicing for their choreos, and i think the members have been very supportive and patient towards jin (and rm lol) ❤️ that's love even outside their working sched.

    It was those pre-debut diary logs that I came across by accident. I had been into Kpop for a few years by then, but there was something about their honesty that caught my eye. I followed them from that point and have watched them grow to where they are today. Interesting fact - did you notice there was no V logs? He was not introduced until they debuted. He was a hidden secret member. It was sad that he couldn’t be with the other guys on camera but he was usually in the room just off camera.

    Though I'm only 10 minutes in, before I forget, BTS was honored to be featured on Seo Taiji's 25th Anniversary Special called TIME TRAVELER It's an amazing show, BTS participated in all of it and there is even a behind the scenes video. Seo is old enough to be their father, but doesn't look a day older than BTS. There is a performance of 'Come Back Home' from '95 (original on UA-cam) that BTS recreated the original hip hop choreography!! They had so much honor and respect for working with this Legend. Another great song from the show is 'ClassRoom Idea'. If you care to watch, be sure to find one with English Lyrics. Seo's message about the ills of Korean education are much the same as BTS' and the song is heavy in rock and roll and rap. Enjoy! ARMY grandma

    You mentioned that the Kpop audition and training system was foreign to you, which is understandable, but aspects of this system were actually probably inspired by the American label Motown Records' “Charm School” artist development system during the 60s. Motown formed Black American artists into singing groups who were trained in choreography and performance, dressed up, taught communication skills and etiquette, etc.
    While of course there are differences, Black Americans and Koreans used these systems to help them stand out in a highly competitive industry and appeal to broader markets beyond their own small markets - white Americans for Motown, non-Koreans for Kpop. SM Town, the collective of artists under SM Entertainment - the first Kpop company to adopt and develop this system for Korea in the 90s - is probably partly named after Motown. The founder of SM, Lee Sooman, stated that he based Kpop on Black music.

    In S. Korea and some other Asian countries, middle school goes from 7th to 9th grade. High school goes from 10th to 12th grade. Like what others had commented, many Asian countries follow the lunar calendar way of counting age. You are 1 when you are born. On the lunar new year, everyone gain a year; it's a big birthday celebration. Thus, if you are born at the end of the year, on the lunar new year, you turn 2. So, JK actually was 14 and finished 9th grade in his first vlog in this documentary. Jimin and Tae were 16, even though they said that they were 18.

    ik i’m commenting a lot but i saw Yoongi with his arm around Jungkook and i just have to throw the cutest fact out.
    Yoongi let’s jungkook do and say whatever he wants. He’s never scolded him for anything. Yoongi has in many instances been talking and jungkook is either messing up his hair or slapping the crap out of his arm and he just sits there like :] not caring. Yoongi himself has said he has never raised his voice or could ever get in a fight (yet he threw his fists up at fake zombies and stepping in front of Jimin when he thought a sasaeng was coming towards him even tho Jimin is a black belt💀)
    It’s truly the sweetest thing. Jungkook is Yoongi’s baby🥺
    Example: BTS were on tour and recorded a clip for the students in korea who were studying and getting ready for their tests, Namjoon told Yoongi to give some words and, Yoongi being Yoongi were telling students that’s it’s okay not to pass and that studying & tests aren’t important, but all doing so, Jungkook was pulling at his hair and messing it up😂
    while Namjoon cut off Yoongi and Jimin lost his shit💀

    It's ok. I also don't cry easily but in this case, as a BTS fan who knows their journey very well, even short wholesome scenes about them can bring out my tears. Because they didn't get it in one snap, they worked hard for it and chased for it like there's no tomorrow. That is something we can relate, the effort and the grind to do things we love.

  • @yngnfrs_9

    I know that you've probably read other's comments by now but I'll say this in case; the first episode is the story of how bighit entertainment is different from the others (especially the big 3). The trainees under bighit (bts) were given artistic freedom, they were not trained to be like others but to be themselves. I know that it was stated on the vid by bang pd himself but it was a very important point. Why they are special.
    Anyways, I hope you also watch the deleted scenes after each episodes! I've watched this and will not mind watching it again. This docu series is really helpful for baby armys or even for those people who discovered them later (i joined in 2017 and I'm ecstatic that we have this kind of video to educate us about what they've been through). And the era from 2017 onwards, it was a recap for me. Like a summary of my journey with them.
    I'm looking forward to episode 2! You'll tear up every episode I swear bcs some parts are tear jerkers. Through this whole rise of bangtan series, I feel like I was with them from the beginning. May it be a hardest times or joyful moments. I feel so connected with them, my heart is and will forever be. I need to sleep now though, it was fun spending the night watching your latest releases.
    Lastly, can I recommend you to watch you quiz on the block bts special? Thank you! I'll provide the infos tomorrow bcs I'm really tired and this comment is getting longer and longer. Night!
    Here it is, it's almost 2 hours long but it's worth it! ok.ru/video/2814675782279

    The guys were able to determine how hard they worked. Remeber they also go to school. All 6 oldest members are currently getting their Masters in Advertising and Media and JungKook will also join them when he graduates university soon. The guys in BTS pushed themselves practicing up to 12-16hrs/day because they knew that's what it would take... as well as writing and composing and producing and doing variety shows, pronotions, etc, etc, etc. They never rest !!

    You know, you could include the deleted scenes and bonus content for each chapter on each video. We don't mind😅, right guys?
    Reaction suggestions: BTS Crosswalk with James Corden (You could upload it for free on Patreon or blur it out when uploading it on YT).
    I don't know whether "Not Today" is on your list. But if it isn't, could you add it? It's inspired by a popular quote from Martin Luther King Jr, "...if you can't fly, run. If you can't run, walk. If you can't walk, crawl. Just keep moving."
    It has a lovely message.
    And you might want to do the Doolset lyrics translation before the video so that you don't get confused when they mention certain things like "crow-tit (baepsae), which is another song I really want you to react to 😅.
    But probably take time to brace yourself and grab lots hobi water if you can (it's an inside joke. It's basically an adaptation of "holy water"😂)... Especially for the live performance 🔥💥💣
    Anyway for the Baepsae video, there's no MV, just a dance practice. Before the dance practice, they do a little something, and there are no English subtitles on the one in the official channel (BangtanTV). As a result, you might want to watch the translated one on BangtanSubs.
    Happy reacting 😚💜

He was 1 on his birth day in 1995 then turned 2 on 1st Jan 1996. So when Jungkook said he was 16 when he graduated middle school he was 14 years old in US age. Hope that helps 💜

    If what is presented is true, and I want to believe it is, Big Hit was somewhat different in their approach to trainees. It wasn’t as much of a “factory” as the bigger companies presented in this doc. BTS was given goals and direction from PD Bang…..but encouraged to use self care and talk about their difficulties….something that was verboten in the kpop community. You can see from these video diaries (what BTS used before Vlives came about) that they are connecting with their fans in a very raw way……sharing their fears, anger, exhaustion, concerns……all while asking for their support and saying they will work hard for the fans in return. This is the grassroots, organic growth that people talk about regarding how BTS scratched and clawed their way to success……they really did work their asses off😢💜

    Korean age is different from international age. In Korea you are 1 year old when you are born and then everyone born in the same year turns a year older all together on New Years day so V was considered 2 years old when he was actually only 2 days old since he was born on Dec 30th. When JK says he was16 he was actually 14 in international age. He was 13 when he became a trainee and 15 when they debuted.

    Alexa, I’m glad you’re getting into the Rise of Bangtan. Yes, it’s a must watch for all new and old Armies. Please pronounce their name properly. Midwestern or not, their name is Bahngtahn.
    3 important people that made BTS from the beginning (and still with them today) are:
    1) Bang (pronounced as bahng) Shi-Hyuk, original CEO/founder of BigHit (also called Hitman Bang or Bang PD (pronounced like gun sound));
    2) Son Sung-Deuk, their head choreographer;
    3) PDogg, their producer.
    I grew up in Korea in the 70’s in the countryside and let me tell you, my country was poor and was just staring to come into industrialized age. I have to cap this: KOREAN WAR ENDED ON JULY 27, 1953…EXACTLY 60 years LATER, JUNE 12, 2013 BTS DEBUTS. How about that for history lesson?!🤣

    Jungkook was 14, Korean age adds 1 or 2 years to your actual age
    edit for brief explanation:
    - if your birthday has already passed this year, add 1 year
    - if your birthday hasn't passed yet this year, add 2 years
    jk's log was before september 2013 (his birthday) so he was 14, add 2 = 16

    Just to give clarity, Korean age is about 1-2 years on top of international age. So whenever they mention their ages, it would be about a year or so less.
    Also, about the schooling system in Korea, middle school and high school are 3 years each. Elementary is 6 years. It’s different from the US in the sense that they would be entering high school a little later and also with Korean age, it would make them sound older than you would’ve been when you started high school.

    Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. Lex all the members have vlogs. Everything is still on YT. Bang PD was really smart and had them all talk to fans on YT, and later Twt, now Instagram. They created Vlive and Weverse and had chats with Army too. They had a lot of roadblocks in Korea so all these social media sites helped them spread their music far & wide. JK being 16 is their Korean age. He was 14/15 when he graduated middle school. He joined the group at 13/14. The more info vids u watch the more u learn and can figure stuff out. They use their Korean age more I think. Korean age: When you're born you're 1 (because it's your first year). Then on new years eve you start your 2nd year. So if you're born on December 4th (Jin as an example) by new years eve you're already 2 while in western age you'd only be about a month. Hope this helps. Aneesa is the Army that created this series. She is actually a real editor so that is why it looks professionally made. @ReedReacts did an interview with her if u want to check that out on your own. It's really interesting to learn about other Army's and their dreams. =0] I love this series so much. I am on ch.9. Hugs. Love u. #YouAreEnough Have a good week! -ARMY NY USA 💜

    (Dont quote me on this, because im not sure its ALL 100% true) About the body/weight related stuff, one of the reasons Jimin almost got cut from BTS before they debuted is because he would easily put on weight. It wasnt unhealthy weight, he simply just gained weight and would look chubby, because he was still a growing boy. (Which in Korean culture, if your not thin, your considered fat.) Later on around 2016 (Blood sweat and tears era) he went on an extremely strict and unsafe diet where he ate one meal every 10 days. At the time, Jimin was extremely insecure about how he looked "too feminine and not masculine enough" and how he was "a pig compared to the other members." This diet caused Jimin to have many health problems, such as becoming very tired, and even pass out during practices from what we have heard. Thankfully, Jimin received help and is doing much better now. - The system here in Korean is so messed up. Everything is about the looks and its very stressing. I hope one day people will finally realize looks dont mean anything, were all human :)) Also tysm for your reaction, Ive really enjoyed your content n try my best to watch as soon as possible

      I would like to correct you on something, if that's ok? 💜It was actually 1 meal a day, for 10 days. He didn't go 10 days without eating, it was a mistranslation that spread and we weren't able to stop the spread of the mistranslation. And I've never heard the part about him nearly being cut because of weight issues, so I'd have to do some research on that, before I take it as fact. I agree that it is a part of his past, and he is so much more positive about his body now, and happily embraces his image. Even going as far as to tell us he has "has gained 3KG in a few days" with a huge smile on his face, on In The Soop lol. Seeing them be so accepting of themselves as they've grown is inspirational

    I’m pretty sure Jungkook graduated from both middle school and high school later in age then is normal due to his busy training schedule. He said many times that he wasn’t a great student….didn’t really like school….so I can imagine it was tough for his team and Big Hit to keep him on track. He graduated from High School when he was 20 I believe.

    Right from your own mouth. Who they were then is exactly who they are now, no matter what you call them. Just call him RM... if it bothers you so much to say Rap Monster. I loved him as Rap Monster and RM. I cringe everytime you make a negative comment about his name. In the US we learn much more than just US History... remember you have an international audience and they may believe your misinformation. It depends on your interest throughout school whether you learn about other cultures. Other cultures history IS TAUGHT IN AMERICA. Sorry for the call out but that info is not correct. ☮☮

    You mentioned about not being familiar with the whole auditioning to be a star in the US. I kinda disagree. If you watch those tv shows like The Americas got Talent or other similiar shows, those are exactly the same thing; people auditioning to be a star. It may not be as straightforward as the kpop idol cutlture but it is the same just not "advertised" as such. Enjoying your journey getting to know our boys!

    A lot if this is also based on xceleste interviews and contents. PS. Korean ages are not based on Western standards. When they are born they are 1 years old etc.
    BTS has a different orientation then the other groups. BigHit is unique and started a trend that's allowed other companies to follow or correct their behavior.

    • @yeppoyou
      @yeppoyou 2 роки тому

  • @teresanike7181
    @teresanike7181 2 роки тому

    BTS did luck out with Big Hit, the CEO actually nurtured their development encouraged their individualities, and insisted that their music be meaningful and reflective of themselves and their experiences. He was not as strict as the other companies which was nice to see. I wont say too much about the age thing because its been said , it can get confusing so I just go by their global age like we do it makes it easier for me. This is a great docu series the first few episode can be heart breaking for sure on how some companies treat their trainees but like you said in some case in western culture its the same like grooming athletes or even ballerinas. Thanks for watching this and I look forward to the next episode.

  • @elizasolveig
    @elizasolveig 2 роки тому

    The ages they keep saying are their Korean age, which is a year older than international age. So Jungkook was actually 15 years, Jimin and V 17, etc. And think of middle school there like junior high where it is longer. And they graduate HS at 19, not 18.

    • @elizasolveig

    i understand if it helps you so do what you must, but reading out loud takes longer, and also drowns out the actual speaker (bts) and it’s nice for you to hear their voice and emotion within. you can miss that if you’re reading out loud over them speaking. but again, if that works best for you, you do you, just offering the suggestion.
