He does now. He didn't have the lip ring or tattoos then. Go watch the Taylor guide someone linked for you. It's worth it I promise and none of us Army get tired of watching reactions to it. Plus all the dance practices are amazing to watch. I love watching people react to those for the first time too!!!
Watch. The. Guide. To. The. Bangtan. 7. By. Taylor. 😂 It answers ALL the things. And they mix Korean and English and cover MANY genres of music. Welcome to the rabbit hole!!! The dance practices really show their dance ability. They are amazing. BTS has 3 rappers and 4 vocalists. They all dance. Seriously you just have to watch more of their stuff. You can't put them into one box.
well said. THIS exactly! they do everything! you want hiphop, they have hiphop. you want pop, they have pop. your want rock, they have rock. you want edm, they have edm. you want a ballad, they have a ballad. they are THAT diverse. also, it is true that they dont have a focal point, or a special few memebrs. they do have a leader, but his role as a leader is mainly to represent the team in speeches etc and also translating for them, thats all. apart from that, ALL MEMEBERS contribute their own unique thing to the team, and no one is more/less important or special to the other. it is the talents of ALL 7 and that they EACH bring to the team that makes them so uniquely bts.
There's a leader and it's RM. A leader in the kpop scene is not the same with the so called leader that you might have perceived originally. Just because he's the leader doesn't mean that he's the most favored by the fans and their label. The leader in kpop groups bears responsibility not in the same way as it does in the states. The responsibilities of a leader varies per group but most of the time they're the spokesperson between the company and the group. If you watch some bts clips, you would see how much they respect RM as their leader.
I'll be honest - I liked your first videos on JK. I would just appreciate a little more respect for the language barrier between korean and english, and also knowing that english is none of there first languages and thinking you hear something you didnt hear will happen alot. So just follow the subtitles because on official videos the subtitles are correct. Also try to avoid making fun of the way they pronounce some things in English, such as RM rapping "Good man" It just gives respect to them. Also J hope was saying Naega which is korean for "I or Me" not the N word... This comment isnt meant to be mean, just an insight to how some of things you are saying comes off to your viewers.
I agree. Reaction so far doesn't feel legit to me. You know us will give them a chance but Army will be able to tell. They are coming off like clout chasers. Not impressive so far. Their vibe, body language, and way they conversate is inconsistent with the claim they new to this.
We are completely new to this lol we know he didn’t say the n word we were being sarcastic. We can give our honest reaction to a song and group that we have never listened to before and still be ourself. We’re gonna stay true to us and joke around and have fun. Hopefully u stick around for the ride
Agreed. It just felt like you weren't interested in getting into the music but more so passing judgement because it's foreign. Does it matter who is the leader?? Does it matter if it's Korean, Spanish, English?? If you don't like it that's fair. Just don't be disrespectful. Please don't use our boys for views.
@@natashabrady8977 u want us to sit there and be quiet through the entire video? Lol we’re interested to get to know them, so of course we have questions….
You gave them false information big hit entertainment does not exist it is now HYBE corporation HYBE labels is one of the divisions of HYBE corporation HYBE labels owns 7 music labels 5 in Korea one in Japan and one in the United States big hit music is one of those labels big hit entertainment does not exist anymore. The video they reacted to fake love official MV was released under big hit entertainment a company does that does not exist anymore because in 2021 big hit entertainment transitioned into HYBE corporation not HY BE labels it owns HYBE labels. BTS and TXT fall under big hit music which is owned by HYBE labels. Giving false information you need to watch the video showing the outline and structure of HYBE corporation an international entertainment conglomerate corporation.
@@heyrobwest3908 Under HYBE Labels are Big Hit Music (formerly known as Big Hit Entertainment), BELIFT LAB, Source Music, Pledis Entertainment, KOZ Entertainment, and HYBE Labels Japan. HYBE Solutions encompasses all of the company's operations that extend beyond music.
@@jughahaha0613 1. You missed ADOR -NewJeans label. I'm ot so sure what the American Branch is called but they will soon debut artists themselves. 2. Big Hit Music is not the renamed Big Hit Entertainment. Big Hit Ent. was restructured into HYBE (the coporate part of multiple labels) *and* Big Hit Music (the label of Lee Hyun aka. MIDNATT, BTS & TXT)
You guys are funny. People say calling BTS a boy band is like calling a computer a typewriter. They have hundreds of songs. Each member brings something different to the group, you’ll see 😊 Thanks for reacting!
Well, most of these boys were young when they first started out, and I never heard them be called a man band and they weren’t technically a band, they didn’t play instruments. Although, most of them have learned instruments, they’re too busy dancing to play. I don’t know of another name created for them other than “group”. Maybe we should revert back to that term. It’s just laziness on our part not to be more conscious of defining them right. Even the Beatles and Boys to Men (and countless others) were called boy bands for a long time. Vocal group, would that cover the label we give them, as rappers and singers? BTS is so versatile, we can’t label their genre either. Gosh, I love this group, they’re truly like a box of chocolates, aren’t they? You never know what you’re gonna get; thank you, Forrest Gump! Anybody have any suggestions how we define BTS? “Artists” gets my vote. That covers everything…lol!
@@tellyshadden3840 I agree. I don’t like boy band because some people use it to dismiss them. I like group. Artists works too because I think that it is their individual artistry combined that makes them a dream team. 💜❤️
Considering what boy bands were known for -primarily [but not exclusively] singing and dancing- BTS and any kpop group composed of boys/men are undeniably boy bands. 🤷♀️ I went through high school being teased about liking boy bands (NSYNC, etc.) - not only did I not give a shit then but I continue to not give a shit that ‘boy band’ has a negative connotation. Denying the label of ‘boy band’ simply because others would perceive my musical interests and/or favorite group as “lame” would be pretty spineless of me. You like what you like - own it and pay no mind to others’ judgment. Also, BTS is most definitely K-Pop. Denial of this is strange, imo.
Well, we are not saying there is no leader. RM is BTS leader. But if you ask "who is the best?" There is no such a thing as "the best". They are all talented.
So happy you listened to BTS. They are an incredible group. Most of their songs are in Korean but they mix English in as well. RM, the leader of the group, speaks fluent English so by using Korean and English mixed together they can make anything rhyme. They do have a few all-English songs (Dynamite, Permission to Dance, Butter). You will learn they do all types of genres so don't try and put them into just one. To help you learn more about the group and their members I suggest you watch the three below videos as starters. Please post your reactions to these. One thing you will learn about the BTS ARMY is we enjoy watching long videos. - A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7 by Taylor - The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS (2023 Update!) by the Rice Squad - BTS Hardships 2013-2021
the reason your having issues is cause you keep trying to compare them to bands and groups when nothing like bts exists in the west in group form. you can see them as 7 michael jacksons mixed with rage against the machine and Nas, j cole, drake and eminem. none of the members resemble these artists but their music is a mixture of all those genres coming together. there IS a leader but bts leader doesnt work like a western boyband leader. hes not the "main important" guy hes like the captain of a sports team. bts can and should be seen as a TEAM rather than a boyband. they all put equal efforts in. also yes majority of their music is in korean and japanese. you get used to it after hearing it and opening your mind to it. think how majority of the world listens to american music but dont understand english. theres so much more music than just english music.
Hi guys! If you want to check their solo stuff, I recommend you to watch: Rap line: RM- Joke / Wild flower SUGA- Agust D / Haegeum JHOPE- Chicken Noodle Soup / More Vocal line: SEOKJIN- Epiphany / The Astronaut JIMIN- Serendipity / Set Me Free pt. 2 V- Singularity / Christmas Tree JUNGKOOK- Euphoria / Still with You
@@flyushkifly I never understand why people suggest Joke by RM. It's just different rhythms without any actual content. One of his weakest songs as a rapper, imo. Seoul or Persona are much more fitting for older songs imo.
The snickers have a meaning. Everything in this video is connected to a storyline called the BU that stretches across several videos. This song/MV was my intro to BTS. I, too, was skeptical and kept looking at them through a lens of western boybands, but I was very wrong to underestimate their artistry and talent.
Yall recommending they watch the guide when they dont even know if they like the boys yet. Recommend some songs you think they might like so they'll actually have appreciation for the guide when they watch it. Haegeum- AgustD (bts rapper) Black Swan- group song Set Me Free Pt. 2- Jimin (bts singer)
I understand what you are saying but at the same they have a lot of questions about the group and the members that can be answered by watching the guide.
Thank you!!!!!! I’m all for watching the guide video but I saw it 45 minutes long. Recommend some songs (preferably the smooth rnb type vibes jk had on seven) to entice us to wanna dive deeper into the group. But we will definitely check out that guide
The Taylor Mari guide will answer all of your questions. A lot of reactors do watch the videos twice. Once for the video itself and then again for the lyrics. At least until they get used to listening to Korean and get to know who is who. Just forget what you know about western artist and groups and you will be fine. We usually reccommend listening to a few songs before the guide, but since you have so many questions, I would go ahead and watch The Guide to The Bangtan 7 by Taylor Mari.
Yes BTS writes and produces their own music (mainly the 3 rappers) the vocalists more write melodies than lyrics but they all have writing and producing credits for group and solo songs with the rappers having the most obviously.
If you are not comfortable with their songs in korean language, you are not yet ready for bts. They have 3 english songs but the essence of bts is really in their korean songs which they write and sometimes produce themselves. I recommend you watch the guide to bts first. 💜
The one you asked whose name is is Jungkook. The one in the sparkly jacket is Jungkook too. He is the main vocalist of BTS. They all have different roles in the group. RM is the leader. Jungkook is the main vocalist and Center. Hoseok is the dance leader. But please watch the guide to bts by Taylor. You’ll know everything by then.
I laughed that you guys didn't recognize JK (in red sequined jacket) who opened the song. He's prominent throughout the video. He's my bias breaker. Each of their songs are different and worthy of listening. Much to be enjoyed. Enjoy your journey. I'll be watching😊
If someone want to understand and really apreciate bts, some effort is also needy u know. And with their laugh, idk if they can keep going. If something is high, they cannot act low or they will miss
Pop music is a huge umbrella term. K-Pop (yes, the name of their industry) incorporates a lot of sub-genres, which is one of the reasons why it’s so popular- the complexity. Fake Love is a fusion of electro-pop (the foundation of a lot of K-Pop, along with R&B), emo hip hop (trap beat, 3 rappers), and grunge rock. The 3 rappers (rap line) have pure rap songs. They write all their bars and are the members most involved in production to varying degrees, though the vocalists have contributed too.
okay to answer some questions - leader: RM, the leader in Kpop is the Bridge between label and group and between group members, he is also the spokesperson during interviews - 11:39 that is jungkook - the snickers: well they are Part of an ongoing storyline in bis' music videos known as the BU (bts universe) which started back in 2015 with the song "i need you", the bu Even has a webtoon series and a mobile game. its a really complex storyline even some armys dont understand it to this day - 12:44 thats Jimin and his name isnt pronounced how you guys Said it in the beginning the j is pronounced the same way you would pronouce the j in Jackson for example - the words that you were Hearing isnt the nword, tehy are saying 내가 (naega) and 니가 (niga) which roughly translates to "i (past form of a verb)" = naega, and "you (past form of a verb)" = niga - the guy at the end is also part of the BU - the person that got them together is "Bang Si-hyuk" former CEO of BIGHIT Entertainment and now Chairman of HYBE Labels (formally BIGHIT Entertainment) bis are all from different cities in Korea and all got into bis via audicining for BIGHIT - yes they Write their down songs and the main dancers also contribute in making the choreography now the members (It is important to know that in Korea the surname comes before the given name and also the ranking in position goes " 1. main, 2. lead, 3. (just the Position) 4. sub" RM: Kim Namjoon, 28, Leader, Main rapper Jin: Kim Seokjin, 30, Sub vocalist, Main visual Suga: Min Yoongi, 30, Lead rapper J-Hope: Jung Hoseok, 29, rapper, main dancer, sub vocalist, dance leader ( he is the one that controls what are do's and dont's during dance practice and learns the choreo first to teach it to the other members (mainly the ones that arent as advanced in dancing)) Jimin: Park Jimin, 27, Lead vocalist, Main dancer (do NOT compare jimin and jhope in dancing the May both be main Lancers but they have completly different dance styles) V: Kim Taehyung, 27, Vocalist, Lead dancer, Visual Jungkook: Jeon Jungkook, 25, Main vocalist, lead dancer, sub rapper, center, face of the group (im sorry if i come of as a bit rufe i just try to be as clear as possible as to what not to do so you guys dont gut dragged by some armys) (and no the members with the same last name are NOT related)
Technical V is NOT a visual. That is only Jin. marirezende also corrected some positions. JK IS not "face of the group" (that is NOT an official position in the first place) and I will debate the BS on "Center" - they do not need one - as well.
The majority of their music is Korean with various degrees of English mixed in (keep in mind they have over 300 songs) and occasionally they do songs in Japanese too. RM is the only member of BTS that is fluent in English. BTS only have 3 songs that are fully English as a full group (Dynamite, Butter, and Permission To Dance). But they are extremely poppy and commercial (those songs remind me more of One Direction than Fake Love). Trust me you haven't seen them really go hard with their rapping yet (check out the cyphers 1-4 for that. And no not all their solo song/albums are fully English. There is a leader in BTS, it's RM (one of the rappers) but it's not how most people in west view a leader. Leader for kpop groups is more like a captain of a sports team. The thing is Jungkook is the main vocalist and he is usually center in a lot of their dance formations but he's not the leader. He probably gets the most lines in songs but they all have their turn to sing/rap in their songs that have all 7 members. And I'm sure you are aware but they aren't saying the n word, the words niga and naega mean you and I in Korean. The founder of Bighit Entertainment Bang Si-Hyuk put BTS together but there is a whole training system they had to do over a 2-3 year period with many other trainees like 20 to 30 other guys before the group was narrowed down to 7. Yes they write and produce their music but they also have help from in house writers and producers too and occasionally outside writers and producers, but they are very much involved in their music. BTS officially debuted as a group back in 2013- their ages at the time ranged from 15-20 and no none of the members knew each other before joining Bighit Entertainment. Their current ages are Jin- 30, Suga- 30, J-Hope- 29, RM-28, Jimin- 27, V- 27, and Jungkook- 25. The taylor guide is just really informative and it's good introduction to learn more about BTS and who they are as individuals. The thing is pop music actually encompasses different styles of music. Like a lot of artists make pop music but their songs aren't bubblegum pop sounding.
They have position obv BTS has a leader, main vocal, main rapper, main dancer, etc. What the armys meant was that despite their positions none of the members were "left out", the 7 of them shined with their own specialties. answering in comments would be too long, Guide vid will answer all your questions. I recommend reacting to 'A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7' by Taylor
i commented this under another comment but i dont think this might be seen so im putting it here too haha they do a very wide range of music genres! you want hiphop, they have hiphop. you want pop, they have pop. you want rock, they have rock. you want edm, they have edm. you want a ballad, they have ballads. they are THAT diverse. also, it is true that they dont have a focal point, or a special few members. they do have a leader, but his role as a leader is mainly to represent the team in speeches etc and also translating for them, thats all. apart from that, ALL MEMBERS contribute their own unique thing to the team, and no one is more/less important or special than the other. it is the talents of ALL 7 and that they EACH bring to the team that makes them so uniquely bts. also, another thing that i think yall had a misconception on from another video is that i think yall said kpop is a genre. kpop is NOT a genre. i guess you could call it an industry? kpop is just simply korean artists making music, and there are SO MANY genres of music in kpop :) and like other people said, please do react to the guide to bts by taylor! its gonna answer so many of your questions. we know its a long video, but dont worry! as long as youre interested in finding out more about our boys, we will be here watching! please dont be afraid to pause the guide when youre watching it to give your own opinions or ask any questions that you have too :)
My man on the right wrestling with his idea of Pop Group vs BTS. 😆 Yes, you going worldwide so time to open your mind beyond your borders. BTS is the biggest ( ie successful) GROUP period. And not just in America, they have shattered records worldwide so it makes sense that your typical ideas/stereotypes would be shattered too. One thing I can guarantee is that you are in for a fun time. Don't let language throw you off , music brings people together more than you know.
American interviews and radio have fed to the world that BTS is a “pop boyband” but they are far from that. They have attempted and succeeded many different genres and the reason why they’re the biggest group in the world is because rap plays such a large part in their music as well as who they are. I extremely recommend ‘A guide to bts the bangtan 7’ by Taylor Then after maybe check out black swan (if u haven’t already) and their tiny desk concert :))
There are bits of English in every single Korean song I’ve ever heard. English is incorporated because it sounds good, it can rhyme with certain words and because English words are used in everyday communications in Korea. Also read the lyrics and yes there’s a leader and every member has a role, we don’t like when they get compared to one another and solo stans
Why is it a debate? Why can not groups be considered as multi-genre or fusion genre? People always like putting people in boxes. Especially, the members that have their own performing backgrounds.
I appreciate the open-mindedness and being willing to listen to a style that's really new to you. I started listening to BTS in 2020 after a lifetime of listening to mostly pop and hip-hop. And digging into BTS's catalog was full of surprises for me. I thought the language would initially be a barrier for me, but there's enough English and enough emotion in the singing + the music for me to get the gist of a song, and translated lyrics are readily available. Doolset is a go-to for good translations that include cultural and contextual notes. If you like music that has diverse sounds and styles and deep, relatable lyrics, you'd probably enjoy exploring more of their catalog. It DOES take time and effort to learn their names, understand the genre, and understand the cultural differences, but BTS makes music for everyone anywhere. Taylor's guide is a good intro to each of the members and what he brings to the group. If you want a sampler of songs to hear in one video, there's a video called BTS Room Live from 2021 that has a medley of B-side tracks they sing live. Of course, ARMY has hundreds of suggestions for you, so just keep letting us know what you're interested in or what questions you have! We can be wary of new reactors, because lots of people pop up with new releases, and we welcome people getting to know them. I'm sure others have already said it, but they're not saying the "n" word in English and there are skilled and respected rappers in this group, who write their own bars and also write lyrics and melodies for others. All the members at this point have taken part in the songwriting. Most of them producing as well. The rappers have had their own studios at the company for years. They collab with a lot of people in Korea and increasingly with Western artists. They also have producers and performance directors at their label who have been working with them since their trainee days in 2010. Thank you again for taking the time to watch, even if this song was not as easily familiar in sound and style as Seven!
@4pminphx Looking forward to seeing what y'all watch next! We really do enjoy seeing people who love music learn about their music and culture. Also, K-Papi is a good nickname 👍 (not being sarcastic!)
@@4pminphx as you are learning through the comments, that "n"word issue is a hot wire that you've grabbed, and "joke" and "sarcasm" are concepts that are extremely easy to lose in translation. People watching you from all over the world are brand newbies to YOU, who you are, and what your character/integrity is. Our standards are high, as you will see as you get to know BTS more. I really hope you take the time and effort to really learn about this group and their music/artistry, because they defy people's preconceptions, and are much deeper, more substantial, than expected. Please toss your expectations out, don't try to limit them with labels and pigeonholes, and PLEASE don't be offended by the feedback/skepticism you're receiving. Take a deep breath and just "Do You", and people will see you for who you are. Those that don't vibe with you will leave. The majority of us are open mindedly watchful and enthusiastic to helping genuine, respectful, open minded reactors learn about the group, its members, and the breadth/depth of their discography/musical artistry. Last note, the most vocal and quick to take offense are the actual 8-12 year olds, but the majority of the fandom is 20-40 and older (with about a quarter being male), capable of making our judgements quietly, without comment, so try to take the mature high road without punishing the rest of us💜✌️🖖 I'm looking forward to seeing your journey, so I hope you'll keep trying to learn more about BTS, the members, and their music
@@WonderingWildWanderingRose you need to post this on the main thread. As a 60+ y/o ARMY I so agree with what you said. You just said it so elegantly. They (and many otheres) really need to read this and I'm afraid it will be missed here in a response to a thread. Thank you for stating this. 💜
I'll be honest, I like how your form works, how you react and seem to be genuine with it, but I wanted to make some opinions clear. This is a new world, it's kpop, and here specifically bts (who paved kpop) they work with varied and diverse styles of music, both group and solo. In it, everyone produces, composes, dances, or raps or sings. I wish that if you are really interested in this and are going to continue with the reaction, you would be adept at this new culture, language and way, as much as there is a tone of joking about the pronunciation of namjoon (RM) nobody is obliged to have a perfect pronunciation, I think fans are more aware of this because we know everything we have been through and suffered in the army / Bts trajectory. Each member is amazing and distinct, I hope you guys can keep it up, I really think it's cool how real you guys sound, but be careful with this stuff (you're embarking into a totally different culture and way, so let go of your "normal" view a little bit) So I think it would be amazing to explore the BTS/Army world with you guys. As a fan myself, I'm fascinated to see other people getting to know it. That's it, take care, stay well and see you later!💜
Its hard to understand them without seeing multiple music videos, they definitely started and were formed as a hip hop group and with hip hop in mind but over time they evolved and really do any genre, you guys should watch A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7 is will definitely help you understand more
Lmao one direction???? Dude in the black hat had it right it is a grunge rock song specifically a "emo-rap-grunge-rock" song i think yall are confusing that they will only sing pop songs because its "k-pop" but please keep in mind kpop was just a term to call the whole korean music industry so they dont do just pop they literally do every single genre ! So think of it as K-music basically Some genres bts has done are Hip hop Funk rap R&B EDM Ballad Rap Latin pop Trap Emo rock Pop Etc :)
BTS are not a pop group, they have pop songs but they're not a pop group. They have a VERY diverse discography, they have ballads, pop, hard hip hop, old school boom bap rap. Listen to a few more songs, they don't fit into ANY box.
most stuff is written themselves, mainly rap line, and produced by them but they have some in house producers and writers who help out like pdogg, supreme boy, bang pd etc. Bang pd (aka bang si hyuk) formed big hit entertainment which is their label, and brought them together. Also the leader is Kim Namjoon (RM) and in bts a leader doesn't dictate who is the "main guy"... the leader typically solves conflicts between the company or the members, he speaks fluent english and is basically the spokesperson of bts... he has many responsibilities which dont consist of just being the most popular or having the most screen time. Jungkook is the main vocalist, he is at the center of most acts HOWEVER that also doesn't mean he is the "most talented" or "the face of bts" each member brings something to the table and each member is extremely talented :) i hope this answered some of your questions !
I like the fact you guys keep it real. I mean It seems like you give your honest opinions and stuff and not only saying nice things to get views And yes, you definitely should watch 'A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7' by Taylor. It's 47 minutes long but trust me, it's really helpful and will introduce you to each member, a little bit of the story of the group and answer a lot of questions you have. (Army loves to watch long reactions so it's ok but if you can't, then you can maybe react to that guide in two parts or something) The guy that is closer to the camera is right! (Sorry idk the names) This song has definitely like a rock-punk vibe when it comes to the vocals in the chorus even if the song has some pop and hip hop elements. Anyways, what I wanted to say is that hey actually have a rock version of this song so yeah..
Thanks for checking out BTS! Korean word you heard is 'naega', not the 'n' word. BTS has songs in full English, Japanese, Korean, most have English sprinkled in (like Fake Love). RM *is* the actual leader of the group; they are closer than brothers. All are very talented; they all write and produce music. It is a lot to take in between all of the members, cultural differences, the language barrier, the choreo, etc. Take your time! We will try to help you along the way. Most of the world listens to music in all English. It should not be so strange to listen to something in a different language, though it started that way for many of us. The rapline are so good; you will be blown away. Why we (myself included) thought only Americans could rap is so silly. I agree Taylor's Guide to BTS would be good for you to watch. Taylor is an ARMY that just wants to tell people about BTS, so she made the guide. You have so many good questions that will be answered! It's long, but we WILL watch it all. Please don't skip parts, pause to be able to read everything, etc. Their story is really amazing! ua-cam.com/video/huV_yIdxZPY/v-deo.html Other MVs I'd recommend are ON: Kinetic Manifesto, Mic Drop (Steve Aoki remix), and Black Swan. To see them live, try Festa Room 2021 or the NPR Tiny Desk concert. Other commenters gave you some other great rapline and solo work suggestions. They have tons of different genres that they do. Hope to see more BTS from you! Finally, YES...many of us do watch the videos twice. First time through for the visuals and then another time for the lyrics. (Then even a third time to watch a dance practice for the song) BTS lyrics are really, really good...please be sure to read them!
You're right about the punk rock. To me, the song is a pop song with EDM and punk elements. I believe a punk rock group covered it. You can find the video on youtube.
The reason Why ARMYs say that BTS in Not K-Pop anymore is because they are main stream Pop like Taylor Swift when she became a major artist she is no longer just Country Music and BTS is bigger than K-Pop they are Worldwide Superstars, Biggest Boyband in the world and a Legend already... Please kisten to their Music without Prejudice and Im sure you will Like them...#Borahae💜💜💜
Group Leader is the spokesman and moral center of the group, not the lead singer. He helps mediate fights in the group and advocates for them with their label. He also happens to be the the one fluent in English, RM, so he often interprets for them and leads interviews overseas. In the case of BTS, who were formed in a unique way (a lot of things about them are unique) he was also the first member and the group was built around him, with him helping select members. He is a rapper with a genius IQ and their main songwriter. They do have a center or lead singer position and that is Jungkook, who often is at the center of formations, does a lot of the ad libs and sings the vocal guides for them on new songs etc. But all the vocalists are top notch.
its literally okay that you fw it yall acting like liking korean music is the worst thing that could happen....they literally write their own shit is it so hard to take them as artists...yall Americans kinda piss me offbut i can see the arc of yall...you might change your opinions...but you being hella rude, just dont react if you are not gonna listen to them with open minds..
@@crystalsnow1138 i know that, i watch other reactors…but it’s just very rooted in racism and xenophobia im not wrong to say what i felt from this video! just some things they said in video doesnt sit right with me and i cant help but think what they wouldve said off camera. i do hope they genuinely give them a chance with open heart and dont if they dont like it cause i dont wanna see fake sht just for views
Ok, SO many things. But first one: your first mistake was assuming anything when it comes to BTS. More often than not you'll be wrong. 1:00 BTS vs kpop will forever be a debate. There's a lot of nuance to these conversations and there's little to nothing I can do to explain it to you without you learning a bit a abt the korean music industry and BTS's history. I know it can be a more tedious reaction for you, but the video "BTS vs KPOP: a video essay" (30min) does the best job at explaining the basics of what you need to know. 3:02 out of the ~300 songs in BTS's catalog 3 of them are in english. You're reacting to a korean group, from a korean label, made of 7 korean men. YES, most of their discography is in korean. Due to cultural, econominal and historical reasons they also release a lot of japanese versions of their songs and some original tracks in japanese. Fun fact: in 2021 BTS became the first artist to have 3 songs in 3 different languages (Dynamite: english, Life Goes On: Korean and Film Out: Japanese) enter the billboard 200 chart. Side note: most of their solo stuff is also in Korean. There are some english songs, like the on you saw from JK and Jimin's Like Crazy (english version). 3:58 a better question is what doesn't BTS do? I promise you that no matter what genre of music you like the most, there will be BTS songs you'll like. Doesn't mean you'll like EVERYTHING but chances are you're gonna enjoy their music if you give it an honest chance. 4:15 performance and MV outfits don't usually have anything to do with hierarchy within the group and everything to do with the concept for the song or album. But for the record, RM is the first member of BTS and their leader despite not being the oldest. JK is their center, he is a LEAD dancer and their MAIN vocalist, he does tons of ad libs, he also raps in some BTS songs so he is a technically SUB rapper. 8:00 This doesn't mean that JK is better than everyone in the group, they each have their strenghs, when it comes to live performances JK is a huge asset, he has a very clean, powerfull and the most stable voice while dancing (yes, they perform the entire dance of the MV during every live performance, for every single one of their songs) and he's also and amazing dancer. Side note: I use terms like LEAD and MAIN bc those are actual group roles the members have. It goes MAIN, LEAD and SUB. 5:20 That's not actually what he says, it's just a korean word that sounds identical to it. Fun fact: When they performed this song in the US they changed their lyrics bc they didn't want ppl to misunderstand them and cause any hurt to anyone or marginalized communities. 8:55 most of this video (and just their videos in general) are done with practical effects, including the moment where JK is running and the platforms start falling, there's usually a behind the scenes video for every MV, just make sure you find a video with subs in eng (channel "Bangtan Subs" has them for this one). 9:40 This is not their version of rap or hiphop, they do rap some verses in this songs but there are songs that are actual rap in korean (RM, Suga and J-hope are the rappers of the group and all have solo and trio tracks that are very much RAP and HIPHOP, just sung in korean instead of english). BTS was initally formed to be a hiphop group, not and idol group (what americans usually call kpop). Their initial album are very hiphop influenced, in their song "Hiphop lover" they describe their love for the genre and shout out artists and projects that inspired them while growing up. 11:40 lmao I'm dying, here's your time stamp. That's JK. Jungkook. And he didn't rap in this song but he is a sub rapper, and raps in some BTS songs like "Attack on Bangtan/ The Rise Of Bangtan". 12:30 funny you should say that, bc it actually does, well...not the artist himself (J-hope) but his character in the fictional storyline that runs through BTS albums called the B.U. (BTS UNIVERSE), it is said that when j-hope's character was very little his parents left him in an orphanage with nothing but a candy bar, you can kinda say that his parents had a "Fake Love" for him...nothing these boys put out is thoughtless pop music. 13:13 That's so funny, you would probably be interested to know that there's a whole "Rocking vibe mix" of this song that goes very hard on the guitar in the chorus and I actually prefer it to this original, it's like a whole new song. Very cool that you picked up on that vibe. 15:56 IDK if coach is a respectable enough title to call him (and Simon cowel is just an insult to him) but that would be Bang PD, the (now former) CEO of Big HIt Entertainment. If you watch the Taylor guide you'll get to know each of their stories coming together better, but it was basically a mix of auditions, crazy coincidences, luck and A LOT of hard work from everyone of them. 16:45 Yes, they are writting their own music. RM is their main songwritter. Suga is their main producer. All member compose melodies and help with the concepts, so all of their albums are very well thought out and they all have a message to send to their listeners that relates to whatever the group is living through, they also write and compose music for their own solo projects. WHICH BTW IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS ARMYS DON'T LIKE IT WHEN PPL CALL BTS A KPOP GROUP. From their very first album they have always been deeply involved in the music they put out, something that was not common at all in kpop or "idol music". 17:01 they do work with choreographers, but J-hope, along with being one of the 3 rapper, is their main dancer and he contributes to choreo ideas and teaches and guides the members during live performances. 19:12 "it wasn't my favorite" that's ok, armys are not gonna go down on you for not liking something. BTS are very versatile, I'm confident some songs you'll like more than others, it all depends on what type of music you're into. I think you'd really like "Mic Drop Remix" or "Run BTS" (DON'T CONFUSE IT WITH THE SONG "RUN" BY BTS, it's 2 different songs). Hope I got all your questions. If I didn't just watch the taylor guide lmao.
Haven't gone through the comments to see if many other people have mentioned this but there is a fictional storyline that runs through many of BTSs albums and MVs. This video is part of it; The Bangtan Universe. So, it has a far deeper meaning when you know the storyline behind it. J-Hope is on those snickers bars for a reason. 🤣💜
I recommend watching this video to get to know them well. ua-cam.com/video/huV_yIdxZPY/v-deo.html this video will help you know them more even just abit. it's natural to be confuse with them at first. we're glad you'll trying to figure them out. this video will answer all of your questions. im tuning in for more bts reactions! they do have a leader, kim namjoon or RM. he's a rapper jungkooks the main vocal. (he don't have piercing nor tattoos during this times)
Trust and watch their story what they had to face their talents and growth and you'll know why everyone loves them the only ones that dont are people who dont even listen to them that dont try to learn about them and mock them just for being asain they've faced a lot of racism and more and Armys supported them through it all thats why we have a tendency to be proactive because there are many people who hate on them just for their race and dont even bother learning before they speak so thanks for trying 💜💜
Lol, I’m going to subscribe just to see how long it takes for you guys to figure this out. So much to learn! If you watch these guys long enough, you’ll be shocked at what you find out. Their discography is hundreds of songs, all genres, and yes, there is a leader. Three rappers and four vocal singers. I’ll be watching, it should be hilarious. They’ve been around for 10+ years, so you’ll be overwhelmed.
They have a leader his name is kim namjoon aka RM he's the main rapper of the group and producer (1994) Jungkook (jk) is the main vocalist and lead dancer (youngest) 1997 Jhope is main dancer, rapper he can sing too (1994) Jimin main dancer and lead vocalist (1995) Suga aka aguastd he's lead rapper and producer (1993) KIM TAEHYUNG aka V he's vocalist and dancer and visual ( handsome guy) (1995) JIN he's vocalist and visual ( handsome guy) (1992) oldest member Main> lead
The guy at 3:36, 7:34 and 11:40 is jungkook. jungkook is main vocialist of BTS and Center. There are many BTS members, so it is difficult to distinguish them at first. Since they continue to grow and change, it is recommended to watch the latest music video first. 'Butter' Official MV 'Dynamite' Official MV 'ON' Kinetic Manifesto Film 'Black Swan' Official MV Boy With Luv) (feat. Halsey)' Official MV 'IDOL' Official MV 'DNA' Official MV
Thanks for the reaction. Who was the one you asked about, it was Jungkook. I've followed BTS for almost a year and I fell in love with them because they are real artists who work hard to deliver a range of songs, dances and content to their fans. About the language, I know it's difficult, but see it as an opportunity to get to know other languages. 😂 We, from Brazil, for example, who speak Portuguese, read subtitles of things in English all the time. I read anime subtitles in Japanese. And I gladly read all Korean content by BTS. With time you get used to it. And about them, yes, they are the dream of many people around this world.💜🇧🇷
I mean. You'll be shocked to see and understand the reasons why these korean boys become a global fenomenon. Get ready to be mind blown by what yall r about to find out about this boy group. THIS IS BTS, the BIGGEST AND BEST BOY GROUP IN THE PLANET💜
Jungkook ...is the main vocalist of bts and centre of bts ...he is a lead dancer also rapper...please react to dreamers fifa world cup song opening ceremony and its music video...he also collaborated with Charlie puth...song left and right
Ok 1st a word of caution. They are not a pop group in the western traditional sense. Yes they have some pop songs, just as they have songs in every genre, but their roots have always been hip-hop. 2 of the main songwriters were underground rapper's and the third was a street dancer. The group even studied under Warren G, Coolio and others. And idk who said they didn't have a leader but they do RM one of the rapper's but they make sure everyone gets equal song and stage time. They have been together since most were in their teens and consider each other as family
You guys were right to be suspicious. The leader of BTS is RM. Jungkook is the main singer and usually what we would call the "front man." So you weren't wrong.
Hi dears. Your favorite 68yo Army here. I don't know if I'd say that you're baby Army...fetus Army, maybe. But anyway...if you're going to keep doing BTS reactions you need to watch the definitive BTS guide, just like all the other reactors had to. It's by Taylor Mari and the title is "A Guide To BTS Members: The Bangtan Seven". Hurry back, dears. I'm not getting any younger, you know.
Hi dears. 68yo Army again. A word of warning. The BTS guide has ALOT of information and it goes by pretty quick. If you miss so much as an instant just know that it was someone's favorite part..and you just ruined it for them. You're going to have to pause...and never talk over BTS when they're talking or singing. Okay...so, go make us proud!
Why y’all so loud 😂😂😂 don’t fight!!! Y’all dont see nothing yet. Lets give them a chance to growth on you guys😅 but i love y’all reaction. Love all the talks 💜
The one wearing the red jocket is JK who sung Seven and he is the main vocalist, RM is the leader of the group, I suggest you first watch the Guide to BTS by Taylor so all questions will be answered💜
Y’all said the same things I said when I first started to listen to them so it’s totally understandable!!!! As you listen more, you learn more - thank you for giving the group a try!!! My daughter loved BTS and I couldn’t stand them at first, but that all changed and now I’m ARMY 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
bts song lyrics contain a lot of deep and motivating meanings if you interpret them correctly,, bts doesn't only make songs in Korean, but also some in Japanese and has 3 songs in English this is "butter" "dynamite" and "permission to dance" these three songs were released during a pandemic which aims to give enthusiasm during a pandemic with a positive aura.. even back then, "butter" and "dynamite" were #1 on the Billboard Hot 100
Taylor is a professional video editor and an ARMY, and her guide is just a really excellently put together introduction to the group and the members. We love Taylor. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
People watching here do not have English as first language. So in this journey we need to respect the differences and cultures. Sometimes I do not understand you too, but I will try to follow the channel. You need to be sincere but also respectful to achieve more followers.
I don’t think you are ready for BTS’s music just yet, especially this song/video. Jungkook’s Seven is sooo different from BTS’s music in terms of style, structure and LANGUAGE. Perhaps you can watch BTS guides first if you are really insterested. Being thrown off by the korean language and by having many members in a group is not a good sign, if I am being honest. I enjoyed your Seven reaction though - you were foolish yet funny and annoying at the same time, which was very entertaining. Here you were just so confused. I was waiting for you guys to try to figure out which one is JK. So funny that you pointed him out multiple times (red glittery shirt and gray shirt holding the sand) but not recognize him. Understandable though. 😊
RM is the group leader the one who raps . But leader in a sense he brought them together . And takes care of the group . There is no lead while dancing . But jk is an all rounder so you will see him most of the time in the center while performing . But every member has their own identity.
BTS does everything from composing to producing not only for themselves, but for other artists. They have three rappers and four singers. They can dance, sing and perform like no other group.
The leader is RM and he's the main songwriter for the grp. And him being a leader doesn't mean he's the focus of the grp, in bts,they're all a focus. Depends on the song some might get to shine more in some song, but it's a team not your typical western grps where it's obvious the focus is on one person while the others are there
Best part for me is the front guy shooting endless questions at the background guy and he keeps looking at him like ‘Hey stolid! I don’t know shot about them!! Stop acting like I’ll have any answers!!’ 😂😂😂😂
So BTS has a fictional storyline/lore that goes along with some of their music videos, concept trailers, performances, and there's even a webtoon! The fictional storyline for the guy laying on the snickers, J-Hope, involves his mother abandoning him at a carnival, telling him to close his eyes and count to ten, when he opened them she was gone and the last thing she ever gave him/left him with was a snickers bar.
😂😂😂 You guys are hilarious. This is exactly the reaction when you first come across BTS and I think any music you haven't heard before. For me. I heard a song and was like. Oh what's this? I liked it then I saw a video and I was like whoa. How many members. Let me look up their names. Then down the rabbit hole I went. I look forward to more reactions and don't feel bad for not knowing anything or asking questions. It's only natural for something foreign to you and though we (ARMY) can be sensitive when it comes to the boys don't take it to heart. Thank you for keeping an open mind and listening and watching and giving the members a chance. The lyrics are muy importante (Spanish isn't really close to english but I get the vibe 😅) also they sing literally every genre. Keep going you'll see great job guys!!
I know I keep writing in😂, but I’m trying to do it as I watch this. I was born and raised in Spain and listened to a lot of American artists, but couldn’t understand a word they said and had not even lyrics to read to understand them. I didn’t care. I either liked the song or didn’t. How do you think people in other non-English speaking countries listen to American or British artists? Music transcends language and that is why BTS is so amazing. At least I can read their lyrics and fall in love with not only the melodies, beats, but their positive messages. Americans are experiencing for the first time what it’s like to listen to great music without understanding the words. I had to do it throughout my childhood and it never bothered me, so it doesn’t bother me now either. 😊💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😊
You might like to listen to rap....Haegum by Agust D (Suga from BTS), Cyphers (1-4) by BTS, Joke by RM of BTS...More and Arson by Jhope of BTS...also some great BTS songs are Fire, Not Today, Butter (all English)...that should help and they are AMAZING LIVE...BTS has a lot of songs, a lot of music videos and other content...you won't be able to "peg" them because they do many genres...started out as a Hip Hop Group and then moved into what they are today...Idols, Superstars, Wonderful People
Love BTS 💜💜🥰BTS songs (usually a mix between Korean and English) and they have some complete songs in English such as (dynamite +butter + permission to dance) & Japanese 💜
Each member has it's own position and role in the group.( main dancer, lead dancer, leader, main vocalist, lead vocalist, main raper, lead rapper, visual etc). With time you'll see that each member has it own thing and noone of them is better that the other. All of them r aces and it's imposible to try and pick one who is more talented or whatever😂. This is only one of the unique thing about BTS.
Doesn’t jung kook have a lip ring??
He does yes
He does now. He didn't have the lip ring or tattoos then. Go watch the Taylor guide someone linked for you. It's worth it I promise and none of us Army get tired of watching reactions to it. Plus all the dance practices are amazing to watch. I love watching people react to those for the first time too!!!
in 2023 yes not in 2018 he only started getting his tattoos and piercing's in 2019/2020.
Yes. This video is very old, he only started getting tattoos and piercings in 2020
Yes this video is older
Watch. The. Guide. To. The. Bangtan. 7. By. Taylor. 😂 It answers ALL the things. And they mix Korean and English and cover MANY genres of music. Welcome to the rabbit hole!!! The dance practices really show their dance ability. They are amazing. BTS has 3 rappers and 4 vocalists. They all dance. Seriously you just have to watch more of their stuff. You can't put them into one box.
well said. THIS exactly! they do everything! you want hiphop, they have hiphop. you want pop, they have pop. your want rock, they have rock. you want edm, they have edm. you want a ballad, they have a ballad. they are THAT diverse. also, it is true that they dont have a focal point, or a special few memebrs. they do have a leader, but his role as a leader is mainly to represent the team in speeches etc and also translating for them, thats all. apart from that, ALL MEMEBERS contribute their own unique thing to the team, and no one is more/less important or special to the other. it is the talents of ALL 7 and that they EACH bring to the team that makes them so uniquely bts.
Yesss
Yesss
Yesss
Yess
There's a leader and it's RM. A leader in the kpop scene is not the same with the so called leader that you might have perceived originally. Just because he's the leader doesn't mean that he's the most favored by the fans and their label. The leader in kpop groups bears responsibility not in the same way as it does in the states. The responsibilities of a leader varies per group but most of the time they're the spokesperson between the company and the group.
If you watch some bts clips, you would see how much they respect RM as their leader.
And he doesn't get paid more! Remarkable.
I'll be honest -
I liked your first videos on JK. I would just appreciate a little more respect for the language barrier between korean and english, and also knowing that english is none of there first languages and thinking you hear something you didnt hear will happen alot. So just follow the subtitles because on official videos the subtitles are correct. Also try to avoid making fun of the way they pronounce some things in English, such as RM rapping "Good man" It just gives respect to them.
Also J hope was saying Naega which is korean for "I or Me" not the N word...
This comment isnt meant to be mean, just an insight to how some of things you are saying comes off to your viewers.
I agree. Reaction so far doesn't feel legit to me. You know us will give them a chance but Army will be able to tell. They are coming off like clout chasers. Not impressive so far. Their vibe, body
language, and way they conversate is inconsistent with the claim they new to this.
We are completely new to this lol we know he didn’t say the n word we were being sarcastic. We can give our honest reaction to a song and group that we have never listened to before and still be ourself. We’re gonna stay true to us and joke around and have fun. Hopefully u stick around for the ride
Agreed. It just felt like you weren't interested in getting into the music but more so passing judgement because it's foreign. Does it matter who is the leader?? Does it matter if it's Korean, Spanish, English?? If you don't like it that's fair. Just don't be disrespectful. Please don't use our boys for views.
@@natashabrady8977 u want us to sit there and be quiet through the entire video? Lol we’re interested to get to know them, so of course we have questions….
@@4pminphx No, of course not. (To me) It came off a little disingenuous like a joke. Take care!
It’s Jungkook! The main vocalist.He’s the one who sang SEVEN, he was the first you reacted to right 😁 and he is my bias 😊
the word "naega" means "I" or "me."
And BigHit is under HYBE, their label,yes. 💜💜
You gave them false information big hit entertainment does not exist it is now HYBE corporation HYBE labels is one of the divisions of HYBE corporation HYBE labels owns 7 music labels 5 in Korea one in Japan and one in the United States big hit music is one of those labels big hit entertainment does not exist anymore. The video they reacted to fake love official MV was released under big hit entertainment a company does that does not exist anymore because in 2021 big hit entertainment transitioned into HYBE corporation not HY BE labels it owns HYBE labels. BTS and TXT fall under big hit music which is owned by HYBE labels. Giving false information you need to watch the video showing the outline and structure of HYBE corporation an international entertainment conglomerate corporation.
@@heyrobwest3908 Under HYBE Labels are Big Hit Music (formerly known as Big Hit Entertainment), BELIFT LAB, Source Music, Pledis Entertainment, KOZ Entertainment, and HYBE Labels Japan. HYBE Solutions encompasses all of the company's operations that extend beyond music.
@@jughahaha0613
1. You missed ADOR -NewJeans label. I'm ot so sure what the American Branch is called but they will soon debut artists themselves.
2. Big Hit Music is not the renamed Big Hit Entertainment.
Big Hit Ent. was restructured into HYBE (the coporate part of multiple labels) *and* Big Hit Music (the label of Lee Hyun aka. MIDNATT, BTS & TXT)
Thanks for clearing that up.....they do not rap using the N word, they are too respectful.
You guys are funny. People say calling BTS a boy band is like calling a computer a typewriter. They have hundreds of songs. Each member brings something different to the group, you’ll see 😊 Thanks for reacting!
Well, most of these boys were young when they first started out, and I never heard them be called a man band and they weren’t technically a band, they didn’t play instruments. Although, most of them have learned instruments, they’re too busy dancing to play. I don’t know of another name created for them other than “group”. Maybe we should revert back to that term. It’s just laziness on our part not to be more conscious of defining them right. Even the Beatles and Boys to Men (and countless others) were called boy bands for a long time. Vocal group, would that cover the label we give them, as rappers and singers? BTS is so versatile, we can’t label their genre either. Gosh, I love this group, they’re truly like a box of chocolates, aren’t they? You never know what you’re gonna get; thank you, Forrest Gump! Anybody have any suggestions how we define BTS? “Artists” gets my vote. That covers everything…lol!
@@tellyshadden3840 I agree. I don’t like boy band because some people use it to dismiss them. I like group. Artists works too because I think that it is their individual artistry combined that makes them a dream team. 💜❤️
"boy band" has too many preconceived notions and connotations that don't fit. "Artists" works for me.
Considering what boy bands were known for -primarily [but not exclusively] singing and dancing- BTS and any kpop group composed of boys/men are undeniably boy bands. 🤷♀️
I went through high school being teased about liking boy bands (NSYNC, etc.) - not only did I not give a shit then but I continue to not give a shit that ‘boy band’ has a negative connotation. Denying the label of ‘boy band’ simply because others would perceive my musical interests and/or favorite group as “lame” would be pretty spineless of me. You like what you like - own it and pay no mind to others’ judgment.
Also, BTS is most definitely K-Pop. Denial of this is strange, imo.
BTS list
- Mic Drop

Well, we are not saying there is no leader. RM is BTS leader. But if you ask "who is the best?" There is no such a thing as "the best". They are all talented.
I’m losing brain cells every time guy on the right speaks😭
Same😭
So happy you listened to BTS. They are an incredible group. Most of their songs are in Korean but they mix English in as well. RM, the leader of the group, speaks fluent English so by using Korean and English mixed together they can make anything rhyme. They do have a few all-English songs (Dynamite, Permission to Dance, Butter). You will learn they do all types of genres so don't try and put them into just one. To help you learn more about the group and their members I suggest you watch the three below videos as starters. Please post your reactions to these. One thing you will learn about the BTS ARMY is we enjoy watching long videos.
- A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7 by Taylor
- The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS (2023 Update!) by the Rice Squad
- BTS Hardships 2013-2021
the reason your having issues is cause you keep trying to compare them to bands and groups when nothing like bts exists in the west in group form. you can see them as 7 michael jacksons mixed with rage against the machine and Nas, j cole, drake and eminem. none of the members resemble these artists but their music is a mixture of all those genres coming together.
there IS a leader but bts leader doesnt work like a western boyband leader. hes not the "main important" guy hes like the captain of a sports team. bts can and should be seen as a TEAM rather than a boyband. they all put equal efforts in. also yes majority of their music is in korean and japanese. you get used to it after hearing it and opening your mind to it. think how majority of the world listens to american music but dont understand english. theres so much more music than just english music.
Hi guys! If you want to check their solo stuff, I recommend you to watch:
Rap line:
RM- Joke / Wild flower
SUGA- Agust D / Haegeum
JHOPE- Chicken Noodle Soup / More
Vocal line:
SEOKJIN- Epiphany / The Astronaut
JIMIN- Serendipity / Set Me Free pt. 2
V- Singularity / Christmas Tree
JUNGKOOK- Euphoria / Still with You
I see what you did there! Nice pairing of old and new. 👍
@@flyushkifly I never understand why people suggest Joke by RM. It's just different rhythms without any actual content. One of his weakest songs as a rapper, imo.
Seoul or Persona are much more fitting for older songs imo.
The snickers have a meaning. Everything in this video is connected to a storyline called the BU that stretches across several videos. This song/MV was my intro to BTS. I, too, was skeptical and kept looking at them through a lens of western boybands, but I was very wrong to underestimate their artistry and talent.
The leader is RM. JK is Main Vocals. Also, that word you heard...actually means 'you' in Korean! lol
The technical term for JK’s position is main vocalist, but they’re already confused enough 😂
@@akplanje I know right, and isn't Jimin the lead vocalist?
JK is main vocalist and lead dancer and center of BTS
Jk is main and jimin is lead pls correct urself 😅😅
Honestly i´m sooo over people thinking they´re actually saying the N word
Yall recommending they watch the guide when they dont even know if they like the boys yet. Recommend some songs you think they might like so they'll actually have appreciation for the guide when they watch it.
Haegeum- AgustD (bts rapper)
Black Swan- group song
Set Me Free Pt. 2- Jimin (bts singer)
This! I defined agree!Like they should get more familiar with their vibe first before watching a whole guide
I understand what you are saying but at the same they have a lot of questions about the group and the members that can be answered by watching the guide.
Thank you!!!!!! I’m all for watching the guide video but I saw it 45 minutes long. Recommend some songs (preferably the smooth rnb type vibes jk had on seven) to entice us to wanna dive deeper into the group. But we will definitely check out that guide
They are asking questions that can be answered by the guide. It will show them that they weren't successful from the start.
@RoyaleJohnson yes i think the guide is a necessary step but 2 videos in is way too early.
The Taylor Mari guide will answer all of your questions. A lot of reactors do watch the videos twice. Once for the video itself and then again for the lyrics. At least until they get used to listening to Korean and get to know who is who. Just forget what you know about western artist and groups and you will be fine. We usually reccommend listening to a few songs before the guide, but since you have so many questions, I would go ahead and watch The Guide to The Bangtan 7 by Taylor Mari.
I agree, watch the introduction to BTS, how they started and all. 😊
Yes BTS writes and produces their own music (mainly the 3 rappers) the vocalists more write melodies than lyrics but they all have writing and producing credits for group and solo songs with the rappers having the most obviously.
If you are not comfortable with their songs in korean language, you are not yet ready for bts. They have 3 english songs but the essence of bts is really in their korean songs which they write and sometimes produce themselves. I recommend you watch the guide to bts first. 💜
The one you asked whose name is is Jungkook. The one in the sparkly jacket is Jungkook too. He is the main vocalist of BTS. They all have different roles in the group. RM is the leader. Jungkook is the main vocalist and Center. Hoseok is the dance leader. But please watch the guide to bts by Taylor. You’ll know everything by then.
I laughed that you guys didn't recognize JK (in red sequined jacket) who opened the song. He's prominent throughout the video. He's my bias breaker. Each of their songs are different and worthy of listening. Much to be enjoyed. Enjoy your journey. I'll be watching😊
Thanks for the support!! We’re really trying. 🙏🏽
JK is the one they paused on and said “who’s this!”
😂😂😂
Don’t worry. We’re not mad. It happens to everyone. You’ll get it eventually.
If someone want to understand and really apreciate bts, some effort is also needy u know. And with their laugh, idk if they can keep going. If something is high, they cannot act low or they will miss
Pop music is a huge umbrella term. K-Pop (yes, the name of their industry) incorporates a lot of sub-genres, which is one of the reasons why it’s so popular- the complexity. Fake Love is a fusion of electro-pop (the foundation of a lot of K-Pop, along with R&B), emo hip hop (trap beat, 3 rappers), and grunge rock.
The 3 rappers (rap line) have pure rap songs. They write all their bars and are the members most involved in production to varying degrees, though the vocalists have contributed too.
okay to answer some questions
- leader: RM, the leader in Kpop is the Bridge between label and group and between group members, he is also the spokesperson during interviews
- 11:39 that is jungkook
- the snickers: well they are Part of an ongoing storyline in bis' music videos known as the BU (bts universe) which started back in 2015 with the song "i need you", the bu Even has a webtoon series and a mobile game. its a really complex storyline even some armys dont understand it to this day
- 12:44 thats Jimin and his name isnt pronounced how you guys Said it in the beginning the j is pronounced the same way you would pronouce the j in Jackson for example
- the words that you were Hearing isnt the nword, tehy are saying 내가 (naega) and 니가 (niga) which roughly translates to "i (past form of a verb)" = naega, and "you (past form of a verb)" = niga
- the guy at the end is also part of the BU
- the person that got them together is "Bang Si-hyuk" former CEO of BIGHIT Entertainment and now Chairman of HYBE Labels (formally BIGHIT Entertainment) bis are all from different cities in Korea and all got into bis via audicining for BIGHIT
- yes they Write their down songs and the main dancers also contribute in making the choreography
now the members
(It is important to know that in Korea the surname comes before the given name and also the ranking in position goes " 1. main, 2. lead, 3. (just the Position) 4. sub"
RM: Kim Namjoon, 28, Leader, Main rapper
Jin: Kim Seokjin, 30, Sub vocalist, Main visual
Suga: Min Yoongi, 30, Lead rapper
J-Hope: Jung Hoseok, 29, rapper, main dancer, sub vocalist, dance leader ( he is the one that controls what are do's and dont's during dance practice and learns the choreo first to teach it to the other members (mainly the ones that arent as advanced in dancing))
Jimin: Park Jimin, 27, Lead vocalist, Main dancer
(do NOT compare jimin and jhope in dancing the May both be main Lancers but they have completly different dance styles)
V: Kim Taehyung, 27, Vocalist, Lead dancer, Visual
Jungkook: Jeon Jungkook, 25, Main vocalist, lead dancer, sub rapper, center, face of the group
(im sorry if i come of as a bit rufe i just try to be as clear as possible as to what not to do so you guys dont gut dragged by some armys)
(and no the members with the same last name are NOT related)
Seokjin is not a sub vocalist, if you consider him a sub vocalist you should consider Taehyung as well, they're both just vocalists.😊
Also Taehyung is just a dancer, not lead dancer, the only lead dancer is Jungkook
Technical V is NOT a visual. That is only Jin.
marirezende also corrected some positions.
JK IS not "face of the group" (that is NOT an official position in the first place) and I will debate the BS on "Center" - they do not need one - as well.
The majority of their music is Korean with various degrees of English mixed in (keep in mind they have over 300 songs) and occasionally they do songs in Japanese too. RM is the only member of BTS that is fluent in English. BTS only have 3 songs that are fully English as a full group (Dynamite, Butter, and Permission To Dance). But they are extremely poppy and commercial (those songs remind me more of One Direction than Fake Love). Trust me you haven't seen them really go hard with their rapping yet (check out the cyphers 1-4 for that. And no not all their solo song/albums are fully English. There is a leader in BTS, it's RM (one of the rappers) but it's not how most people in west view a leader. Leader for kpop groups is more like a captain of a sports team. The thing is Jungkook is the main vocalist and he is usually center in a lot of their dance formations but he's not the leader. He probably gets the most lines in songs but they all have their turn to sing/rap in their songs that have all 7 members. And I'm sure you are aware but they aren't saying the n word, the words niga and naega mean you and I in Korean. The founder of Bighit Entertainment Bang Si-Hyuk put BTS together but there is a whole training system they had to do over a 2-3 year period with many other trainees like 20 to 30 other guys before the group was narrowed down to 7. Yes they write and produce their music but they also have help from in house writers and producers too and occasionally outside writers and producers, but they are very much involved in their music. BTS officially debuted as a group back in 2013- their ages at the time ranged from 15-20 and no none of the members knew each other before joining Bighit Entertainment. Their current ages are Jin- 30, Suga- 30, J-Hope- 29, RM-28, Jimin- 27, V- 27, and Jungkook- 25. The taylor guide is just really informative and it's good introduction to learn more about BTS and who they are as individuals. The thing is pop music actually encompasses different styles of music. Like a lot of artists make pop music but their songs aren't bubblegum pop sounding.
They have position obv BTS has a leader, main vocal, main rapper, main dancer, etc. What the armys meant was that despite their positions none of the members were "left out", the 7 of them shined with their own specialties. answering in comments would be too long, Guide vid will answer all your questions. I recommend reacting to 'A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7' by Taylor
i commented this under another comment but i dont think this might be seen so im putting it here too haha
they do a very wide range of music genres! you want hiphop, they have hiphop. you want pop, they have pop. you want rock, they have rock. you want edm, they have edm. you want a ballad, they have ballads. they are THAT diverse. also, it is true that they dont have a focal point, or a special few members. they do have a leader, but his role as a leader is mainly to represent the team in speeches etc and also translating for them, thats all. apart from that, ALL MEMBERS contribute their own unique thing to the team, and no one is more/less important or special than the other. it is the talents of ALL 7 and that they EACH bring to the team that makes them so uniquely bts.
also, another thing that i think yall had a misconception on from another video is that i think yall said kpop is a genre. kpop is NOT a genre. i guess you could call it an industry? kpop is just simply korean artists making music, and there are SO MANY genres of music in kpop :) and like other people said, please do react to the guide to bts by taylor! its gonna answer so many of your questions. we know its a long video, but dont worry! as long as youre interested in finding out more about our boys, we will be here watching! please dont be afraid to pause the guide when youre watching it to give your own opinions or ask any questions that you have too :)
My man on the right wrestling with his idea of Pop Group vs BTS. 😆 Yes, you going worldwide so time to open your mind beyond your borders. BTS is the biggest ( ie successful) GROUP period. And not just in America, they have shattered records worldwide so it makes sense that your typical ideas/stereotypes would be shattered too. One thing I can guarantee is that you are in for a fun time. Don't let language throw you off , music brings people together more than you know.
They do have a leader, RM he's a rapper, but there is no Beyonce of the group.
American interviews and radio have fed to the world that BTS is a “pop boyband” but they are far from that.
They have attempted and succeeded many different genres and the reason why they’re the biggest group in the world is because rap plays such a large part in their music as well as who they are.
I extremely recommend ‘A guide to bts the bangtan 7’ by Taylor
Then after maybe check out black swan (if u haven’t already) and their tiny desk concert :))
There are bits of English in every single Korean song I’ve ever heard. English is incorporated because it sounds good, it can rhyme with certain words and because English words are used in everyday communications in Korea. Also read the lyrics and yes there’s a leader and every member has a role, we don’t like when they get compared to one another and solo stans
Why is it a debate? Why can not groups be considered as multi-genre or fusion genre? People always like putting people in boxes. Especially, the members that have their own performing backgrounds.
This was funny. The variety of screamed questions and the total lack of knowledge made me laugh. Very entertaining
I appreciate the open-mindedness and being willing to listen to a style that's really new to you. I started listening to BTS in 2020 after a lifetime of listening to mostly pop and hip-hop. And digging into BTS's catalog was full of surprises for me. I thought the language would initially be a barrier for me, but there's enough English and enough emotion in the singing + the music for me to get the gist of a song, and translated lyrics are readily available. Doolset is a go-to for good translations that include cultural and contextual notes. If you like music that has diverse sounds and styles and deep, relatable lyrics, you'd probably enjoy exploring more of their catalog. It DOES take time and effort to learn their names, understand the genre, and understand the cultural differences, but BTS makes music for everyone anywhere.
Taylor's guide is a good intro to each of the members and what he brings to the group. If you want a sampler of songs to hear in one video, there's a video called BTS Room Live from 2021 that has a medley of B-side tracks they sing live. Of course, ARMY has hundreds of suggestions for you, so just keep letting us know what you're interested in or what questions you have!
We can be wary of new reactors, because lots of people pop up with new releases, and we welcome people getting to know them. I'm sure others have already said it, but they're not saying the "n" word in English and there are skilled and respected rappers in this group, who write their own bars and also write lyrics and melodies for others. All the members at this point have taken part in the songwriting. Most of them producing as well. The rappers have had their own studios at the company for years. They collab with a lot of people in Korea and increasingly with Western artists. They also have producers and performance directors at their label who have been working with them since their trainee days in 2010.
Thank you again for taking the time to watch, even if this song was not as easily familiar in sound and style as Seven!
Thanks for this!! We’re really trying. And we know he didn’t say the n word lol we were just being sarcastic lol
@4pminphx Looking forward to seeing what y'all watch next! We really do enjoy seeing people who love music learn about their music and culture. Also, K-Papi is a good nickname 👍 (not being sarcastic!)
@@4pminphx as you are learning through the comments, that "n"word issue is a hot wire that you've grabbed, and "joke" and "sarcasm" are concepts that are extremely easy to lose in translation. People watching you from all over the world are brand newbies to YOU, who you are, and what your character/integrity is. Our standards are high, as you will see as you get to know BTS more. I really hope you take the time and effort to really learn about this group and their music/artistry, because they defy people's preconceptions, and are much deeper, more substantial, than expected. Please toss your expectations out, don't try to limit them with labels and pigeonholes, and PLEASE don't be offended by the feedback/skepticism you're receiving. Take a deep breath and just "Do You", and people will see you for who you are. Those that don't vibe with you will leave. The majority of us are open mindedly watchful and enthusiastic to helping genuine, respectful, open minded reactors learn about the group, its members, and the breadth/depth of their discography/musical artistry. Last note, the most vocal and quick to take offense are the actual 8-12 year olds, but the majority of the fandom is 20-40 and older (with about a quarter being male), capable of making our judgements quietly, without comment, so try to take the mature high road without punishing the rest of us💜✌️🖖 I'm looking forward to seeing your journey, so I hope you'll keep trying to learn more about BTS, the members, and their music
@@WonderingWildWanderingRose💜
@@WonderingWildWanderingRose you need to post this on the main thread. As a 60+ y/o ARMY I so agree with what you said. You just said it so elegantly. They (and many otheres) really need to read this and I'm afraid it will be missed here in a response to a thread. Thank you for stating this. 💜
I'll be honest, I like how your form works, how you react and seem to be genuine with it, but I wanted to make some opinions clear. This is a new world, it's kpop, and here specifically bts (who paved kpop) they work with varied and diverse styles of music, both group and solo. In it, everyone produces, composes, dances, or raps or sings. I wish that if you are really interested in this and are going to continue with the reaction, you would be adept at this new culture, language and way, as much as there is a tone of joking about the pronunciation of namjoon (RM) nobody is obliged to have a perfect pronunciation, I think fans are more aware of this because we know everything we have been through and suffered in the army / Bts trajectory. Each member is amazing and distinct, I hope you guys can keep it up, I really think it's cool how real you guys sound, but be careful with this stuff (you're embarking into a totally different culture and way, so let go of your "normal" view a little bit) So I think it would be amazing to explore the BTS/Army world with you guys. As a fan myself, I'm fascinated to see other people getting to know it. That's it, take care, stay well and see you later!💜
Its hard to understand them without seeing multiple music videos, they definitely started and were formed as a hip hop group and with hip hop in mind but over time they evolved and really do any genre, you guys should watch A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7 is will definitely help you understand more
Lmao one direction???? Dude in the black hat had it right it is a grunge rock song specifically a "emo-rap-grunge-rock" song i think yall are confusing that they will only sing pop songs because its "k-pop" but please keep in mind kpop was just a term to call the whole korean music industry so they dont do just pop they literally do every single genre ! So think of it as K-music basically
Some genres bts has done are
Hip hop
Funk rap
R&B
EDM
Ballad
Rap
Latin pop
Trap
Emo rock
Pop
Etc
:)
The Guy that you pointed out in 7:34 is Jungkook, and yes he is bts Main vocalist and center💜
jungkook whose video you watched before is the main vocalist
this song definitely has a rock feel to it which is probably why I got into BTS. I'm a rocker at heart and this song was my introduction to BTS.
It’s cool that they actually released a rock version of the song too (makes that rock vibe from the original version pop even more)
BTS are not a pop group, they have pop songs but they're not a pop group. They have a VERY diverse discography, they have ballads, pop, hard hip hop, old school boom bap rap. Listen to a few more songs, they don't fit into ANY box.
The MVs have hella meaning....... You'll be shocked if you discover by chance
you should react to an introduction to bts members, it explains all yours questions
most stuff is written themselves, mainly rap line, and produced by them but they have some in house producers and writers who help out like pdogg, supreme boy, bang pd etc. Bang pd (aka bang si hyuk) formed big hit entertainment which is their label, and brought them together. Also the leader is Kim Namjoon (RM) and in bts a leader doesn't dictate who is the "main guy"...
the leader typically solves conflicts between the company or the members, he speaks fluent english and is basically the spokesperson of bts... he has many responsibilities which dont consist of just being the most popular or having the most screen time.
Jungkook is the main vocalist, he is at the center of most acts HOWEVER that also doesn't mean he is the "most talented" or "the face of bts" each member brings something to the table and each member is extremely talented :)
i hope this answered some of your questions !
I like the fact you guys keep it real. I mean It seems like you give your honest opinions and stuff and not only saying nice things to get views
And yes, you definitely should watch 'A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7' by Taylor. It's 47 minutes long but trust me, it's really helpful and will introduce you to each member, a little bit of the story of the group and answer a lot of questions you have. (Army loves to watch long reactions so it's ok but if you can't, then you can maybe react to that guide in two parts or something)
The guy that is closer to the camera is right! (Sorry idk the names) This song has definitely like a rock-punk vibe when it comes to the vocals in the chorus even if the song has some pop and hip hop elements. Anyways, what I wanted to say is that hey actually have a rock version of this song so yeah..
That’s what we’re tryin to do is just be honest! Some people don’t like the honesty but we’re trying 🙏🏽
@@4pminphx it's good as long as you keep being respectful
12:20 the snickers represent a mother abandoning her child but y'all aren't ready for that deep dive and deep storyline hahahaha
Thanks for checking out BTS! Korean word you heard is 'naega', not the 'n' word. BTS has songs in full English, Japanese, Korean, most have English sprinkled in (like Fake Love). RM *is* the actual leader of the group; they are closer than brothers. All are very talented; they all write and produce music. It is a lot to take in between all of the members, cultural differences, the language barrier, the choreo, etc. Take your time! We will try to help you along the way. Most of the world listens to music in all English. It should not be so strange to listen to something in a different language, though it started that way for many of us. The rapline are so good; you will be blown away. Why we (myself included) thought only Americans could rap is so silly.
I agree Taylor's Guide to BTS would be good for you to watch. Taylor is an ARMY that just wants to tell people about BTS, so she made the guide. You have so many good questions that will be answered! It's long, but we WILL watch it all. Please don't skip parts, pause to be able to read everything, etc. Their story is really amazing! ua-cam.com/video/huV_yIdxZPY/v-deo.html
Other MVs I'd recommend are ON: Kinetic Manifesto, Mic Drop (Steve Aoki remix), and Black Swan. To see them live, try Festa Room 2021 or the NPR Tiny Desk concert. Other commenters gave you some other great rapline and solo work suggestions. They have tons of different genres that they do. Hope to see more BTS from you!
Finally, YES...many of us do watch the videos twice. First time through for the visuals and then another time for the lyrics. (Then even a third time to watch a dance practice for the song) BTS lyrics are really, really good...please be sure to read them!
You're right about the punk rock. To me, the song is a pop song with EDM and punk elements. I believe a punk rock group covered it. You can find the video on youtube.
The reason Why ARMYs say that BTS in Not K-Pop anymore is because they are main stream Pop like Taylor Swift when she became a major artist she is no longer just Country Music and BTS is bigger than K-Pop they are Worldwide Superstars, Biggest Boyband in the world and a Legend already... Please kisten to their Music without Prejudice and Im sure you will Like them...#Borahae💜💜💜
I do appreciate the honesty as long as you are respectful.
Group Leader is the spokesman and moral center of the group, not the lead singer. He helps mediate fights in the group and advocates for them with their label. He also happens to be the the one fluent in English, RM, so he often interprets for them and leads interviews overseas. In the case of BTS, who were formed in a unique way (a lot of things about them are unique) he was also the first member and the group was built around him, with him helping select members. He is a rapper with a genius IQ and their main songwriter.
They do have a center or lead singer position and that is Jungkook, who often is at the center of formations, does a lot of the ad libs and sings the vocal guides for them on new songs etc. But all the vocalists are top notch.
its literally okay that you fw it yall acting like liking korean music is the worst thing that could happen....they literally write their own shit is it so hard to take them as artists...yall Americans kinda piss me offbut i can see the arc of yall...you might change your opinions...but you being hella rude, just dont react if you are not gonna listen to them with open minds..
Just know I'm American and I know plenty of other Americans who are very open minded and love BTS no matter what language they sing/rap in. Borahae.
@@crystalsnow1138 i know that, i watch other reactors…but it’s just very rooted in racism and xenophobia im not wrong to say what i felt from this video! just some things they said in video doesnt sit right with me and i cant help but think what they wouldve said off camera. i do hope they genuinely give them a chance with open heart and dont if they dont like it cause i dont wanna see fake sht just for views
@@jeonseyez I agree.
Ok, SO many things. But first one: your first mistake was assuming anything when it comes to BTS. More often than not you'll be wrong.
1:00 BTS vs kpop will forever be a debate. There's a lot of nuance to these conversations and there's little to nothing I can do to explain it to you without you learning a bit a abt the korean music industry and BTS's history. I know it can be a more tedious reaction for you, but the video "BTS vs KPOP: a video essay" (30min) does the best job at explaining the basics of what you need to know.
3:02 out of the ~300 songs in BTS's catalog 3 of them are in english. You're reacting to a korean group, from a korean label, made of 7 korean men. YES, most of their discography is in korean. Due to cultural, econominal and historical reasons they also release a lot of japanese versions of their songs and some original tracks in japanese. Fun fact: in 2021 BTS became the first artist to have 3 songs in 3 different languages (Dynamite: english, Life Goes On: Korean and Film Out: Japanese) enter the billboard 200 chart.
Side note: most of their solo stuff is also in Korean. There are some english songs, like the on you saw from JK and Jimin's Like Crazy (english version).
3:58 a better question is what doesn't BTS do? I promise you that no matter what genre of music you like the most, there will be BTS songs you'll like. Doesn't mean you'll like EVERYTHING but chances are you're gonna enjoy their music if you give it an honest chance.
4:15 performance and MV outfits don't usually have anything to do with hierarchy within the group and everything to do with the concept for the song or album. But for the record, RM is the first member of BTS and their leader despite not being the oldest. JK is their center, he is a LEAD dancer and their MAIN vocalist, he does tons of ad libs, he also raps in some BTS songs so he is a technically SUB rapper. 8:00 This doesn't mean that JK is better than everyone in the group, they each have their strenghs, when it comes to live performances JK is a huge asset, he has a very clean, powerfull and the most stable voice while dancing (yes, they perform the entire dance of the MV during every live performance, for every single one of their songs) and he's also and amazing dancer.
Side note: I use terms like LEAD and MAIN bc those are actual group roles the members have. It goes MAIN, LEAD and SUB.
5:20 That's not actually what he says, it's just a korean word that sounds identical to it.
Fun fact: When they performed this song in the US they changed their lyrics bc they didn't want ppl to misunderstand them and cause any hurt to anyone or marginalized communities.
8:55 most of this video (and just their videos in general) are done with practical effects, including the moment where JK is running and the platforms start falling, there's usually a behind the scenes video for every MV, just make sure you find a video with subs in eng (channel "Bangtan Subs" has them for this one).
9:40 This is not their version of rap or hiphop, they do rap some verses in this songs but there are songs that are actual rap in korean (RM, Suga and J-hope are the rappers of the group and all have solo and trio tracks that are very much RAP and HIPHOP, just sung in korean instead of english). BTS was initally formed to be a hiphop group, not and idol group (what americans usually call kpop). Their initial album are very hiphop influenced, in their song "Hiphop lover" they describe their love for the genre and shout out artists and projects that inspired them while growing up.
11:40 lmao I'm dying, here's your time stamp. That's JK. Jungkook. And he didn't rap in this song but he is a sub rapper, and raps in some BTS songs like "Attack on Bangtan/ The Rise Of Bangtan".
12:30 funny you should say that, bc it actually does, well...not the artist himself (J-hope) but his character in the fictional storyline that runs through BTS albums called the B.U. (BTS UNIVERSE), it is said that when j-hope's character was very little his parents left him in an orphanage with nothing but a candy bar, you can kinda say that his parents had a "Fake Love" for him...nothing these boys put out is thoughtless pop music.
13:13 That's so funny, you would probably be interested to know that there's a whole "Rocking vibe mix" of this song that goes very hard on the guitar in the chorus and I actually prefer it to this original, it's like a whole new song. Very cool that you picked up on that vibe.
15:56 IDK if coach is a respectable enough title to call him (and Simon cowel is just an insult to him) but that would be Bang PD, the (now former) CEO of Big HIt Entertainment. If you watch the Taylor guide you'll get to know each of their stories coming together better, but it was basically a mix of auditions, crazy coincidences, luck and A LOT of hard work from everyone of them.
16:45 Yes, they are writting their own music. RM is their main songwritter. Suga is their main producer. All member compose melodies and help with the concepts, so all of their albums are very well thought out and they all have a message to send to their listeners that relates to whatever the group is living through, they also write and compose music for their own solo projects. WHICH BTW IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS ARMYS DON'T LIKE IT WHEN PPL CALL BTS A KPOP GROUP. From their very first album they have always been deeply involved in the music they put out, something that was not common at all in kpop or "idol music".
17:01 they do work with choreographers, but J-hope, along with being one of the 3 rapper, is their main dancer and he contributes to choreo ideas and teaches and guides the members during live performances.
19:12 "it wasn't my favorite" that's ok, armys are not gonna go down on you for not liking something. BTS are very versatile, I'm confident some songs you'll like more than others, it all depends on what type of music you're into. I think you'd really like "Mic Drop Remix" or "Run BTS" (DON'T CONFUSE IT WITH THE SONG "RUN" BY BTS, it's 2 different songs).
Hope I got all your questions. If I didn't just watch the taylor guide lmao.
Haven't gone through the comments to see if many other people have mentioned this but there is a fictional storyline that runs through many of BTSs albums and MVs. This video is part of it; The Bangtan Universe. So, it has a far deeper meaning when you know the storyline behind it. J-Hope is on those snickers bars for a reason. 🤣💜
I recommend watching this video to get to know them well.
ua-cam.com/video/huV_yIdxZPY/v-deo.html
this video will help you know them more even just abit.
it's natural to be confuse with them at first. we're glad you'll trying to figure them out.
this video will answer all of your questions.
im tuning in for more bts reactions!
they do have a leader, kim namjoon or RM. he's a rapper
jungkooks the main vocal. (he don't have piercing nor tattoos during this times)
Yes!!! This one is Taylor's guide!!!
Must Say, totally agree with the punk rock concept, for this song, particularly 👏
Trust and watch their story what they had to face their talents and growth and you'll know why everyone loves them the only ones that dont are people who dont even listen to them that dont try to learn about them and mock them just for being asain they've faced a lot of racism and more and Armys supported them through it all thats why we have a tendency to be proactive because there are many people who hate on them just for their race and dont even bother learning before they speak so thanks for trying 💜💜
Lol, I’m going to subscribe just to see how long it takes for you guys to figure this out. So much to learn! If you watch these guys long enough, you’ll be shocked at what you find out. Their discography is hundreds of songs, all genres, and yes, there is a leader. Three rappers and four vocal singers. I’ll be watching, it should be hilarious. They’ve been around for 10+ years, so you’ll be overwhelmed.
There is a group leader.. RM is the group leader.. Jungkook is the main vocalist and the Centre.. JHOPE is the dance leader
They have a leader his name is kim namjoon aka RM he's the main rapper of the group and producer (1994)
Jungkook (jk) is the main vocalist and lead dancer (youngest) 1997
Jhope is main dancer, rapper he can sing too (1994)
Jimin main dancer and lead vocalist (1995)
Suga aka aguastd he's lead rapper and producer (1993)
KIM TAEHYUNG aka V he's vocalist and dancer and visual ( handsome guy) (1995)
JIN he's vocalist and visual ( handsome guy) (1992) oldest member
Main> lead
The guy at 3:36, 7:34 and 11:40 is jungkook. jungkook is main vocialist of BTS and Center.
There are many BTS members, so it is difficult to distinguish them at first. Since they continue to grow and change, it is recommended to watch the latest music video first.
'Butter' Official MV
'Dynamite' Official MV
'ON' Kinetic Manifesto Film
'Black Swan' Official MV
Boy With Luv) (feat. Halsey)' Official MV
'IDOL' Official MV
'DNA' Official MV
Thanks for the reaction. Who was the one you asked about, it was Jungkook.
I've followed BTS for almost a year and I fell in love with them because they are real artists who work hard to deliver a range of songs, dances and content to their fans. About the language, I know it's difficult, but see it as an opportunity to get to know other languages. 😂 We, from Brazil, for example, who speak Portuguese, read subtitles of things in English all the time. I read anime subtitles in Japanese. And I gladly read all Korean content by BTS. With time you get used to it. And about them, yes, they are the dream of many people around this world.💜🇧🇷
I mean. You'll be shocked to see and understand the reasons why these korean boys become a global fenomenon. Get ready to be mind blown by what yall r about to find out about this boy group. THIS IS BTS, the BIGGEST AND BEST BOY GROUP IN THE PLANET💜
Jungkook ...is the main vocalist of bts and centre of bts ...he is a lead dancer also rapper...please react to dreamers fifa world cup song opening ceremony and its music video...he also collaborated with Charlie puth...song left and right
Ok 1st a word of caution. They are not a pop group in the western traditional sense. Yes they have some pop songs, just as they have songs in every genre, but their roots have always been hip-hop. 2 of the main songwriters were underground rapper's and the third was a street dancer. The group even studied under Warren G, Coolio and others. And idk who said they didn't have a leader but they do RM one of the rapper's but they make sure everyone gets equal song and stage time. They have been together since most were in their teens and consider each other as family
You guys were right to be suspicious. The leader of BTS is RM. Jungkook is the main singer and usually what we would call the "front man." So you weren't wrong.
Hi dears. Your favorite 68yo Army here. I don't know if I'd say that you're baby Army...fetus Army, maybe. But anyway...if you're going to keep doing BTS reactions you need to watch the definitive BTS guide, just like all the other reactors had to. It's by Taylor Mari and the title is "A Guide To BTS Members: The Bangtan Seven". Hurry back, dears. I'm not getting any younger, you know.
This comment is golden hahaha🫰🏻

Hi dears. 68yo Army again. A word of warning. The BTS guide has ALOT of information and it goes by pretty quick. If you miss so much as an instant just know that it was someone's favorite part..and you just ruined it for them. You're going to have to pause...and never talk over BTS when they're talking or singing. Okay...so, go make us proud!
Why y’all so loud 😂😂😂 don’t fight!!! Y’all dont see nothing yet. Lets give them a chance to growth on you guys😅 but i love y’all reaction. Love all the talks 💜

@@4pminphx haha i know i know….lets having fun 😍
The one wearing the red jocket is JK who sung Seven and he is the main vocalist, RM is the leader of the group, I suggest you first watch the Guide to BTS by Taylor so all questions will be answered💜
Y’all said the same things I said when I first started to listen to them so it’s totally understandable!!!! As you listen more, you learn more - thank you for giving the group a try!!! My daughter loved BTS and I couldn’t stand them at first, but that all changed and now I’m ARMY 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Dude in the Canadian hat- I feel for you!
Right??
ngl this shit fire
bts song lyrics contain a lot of deep and motivating meanings if you interpret them correctly,, bts doesn't only make songs in Korean, but also some in Japanese and has 3 songs in English this is "butter" "dynamite" and "permission to dance" these three songs were released during a pandemic which aims to give enthusiasm during a pandemic with a positive aura..
even back then, "butter" and "dynamite" were #1 on the Billboard Hot 100
Taylor is a professional video editor and an ARMY, and her guide is just a really excellently put together introduction to the group and the members. We love Taylor.

People watching here do not have English as first language. So in this journey we need to respect the differences and cultures. Sometimes I do not understand you too, but I will try to follow the channel. You need to be sincere but also respectful to achieve more followers.
I don’t think you are ready for BTS’s music just yet, especially this song/video. Jungkook’s Seven is sooo different from BTS’s music in terms of style, structure and LANGUAGE. Perhaps you can watch BTS guides first if you are really insterested. Being thrown off by the korean language and by having many members in a group is not a good sign, if I am being honest. I enjoyed your Seven reaction though - you were foolish yet funny and annoying at the same time, which was very entertaining. Here you were just so confused. I was waiting for you guys to try to figure out which one is JK. So funny that you pointed him out multiple times (red glittery shirt and gray shirt holding the sand) but not recognize him. Understandable though. 😊
Naega means "I", I'm or My or mine in South Korea
RM is the group leader the one who raps . But leader in a sense he brought them together . And takes care of the group . There is no lead while dancing . But jk is an all rounder so you will see him most of the time in the center while performing . But every member has their own identity.
I cant wait for you to see how hard they do in rap and the vocal line
please look for their introductions so that you know the answers to your questions, because it was so frustrating 💜
The guy at 3:45 is Jungkook
idk....don't be a kpopie,,,,be a btspopper
i like the guy in the back, the one in the front seems pretty disrespectful in this video...
BTS does everything from composing to producing not only for themselves, but for other artists. They have three rappers and four singers. They can dance, sing and perform like no other group.
The leader is RM and he's the main songwriter for the grp.
And him being a leader doesn't mean he's the focus of the grp, in bts,they're all a focus. Depends on the song some might get to shine more in some song, but it's a team not your typical western grps where it's obvious the focus is on one person while the others are there
Best part for me is the front guy shooting endless questions at the background guy and he keeps looking at him like ‘Hey stolid! I don’t know shot about them!! Stop acting like I’ll have any answers!!’ 😂😂😂😂
So BTS has a fictional storyline/lore that goes along with some of their music videos, concept trailers, performances, and there's even a webtoon! The fictional storyline for the guy laying on the snickers, J-Hope, involves his mother abandoning him at a carnival, telling him to close his eyes and count to ten, when he opened them she was gone and the last thing she ever gave him/left him with was a snickers bar.
😂😂😂 You guys are hilarious. This is exactly the reaction when you first come across BTS and I think any music you haven't heard before. For me. I heard a song and was like. Oh what's this? I liked it then I saw a video and I was like whoa. How many members. Let me look up their names. Then down the rabbit hole I went. I look forward to more reactions and don't feel bad for not knowing anything or asking questions. It's only natural for something foreign to you and though we (ARMY) can be sensitive when it comes to the boys don't take it to heart. Thank you for keeping an open mind and listening and watching and giving the members a chance. The lyrics are muy importante (Spanish isn't really close to english but I get the vibe 😅) also they sing literally every genre. Keep going you'll see great job guys!!
I love how organic this reaction is. 😂😂😂😂
I know I keep writing in😂, but I’m trying to do it as I watch this.
I was born and raised in Spain and listened to a lot of American artists, but couldn’t understand a word they said and had not even lyrics to read to understand them. I didn’t care. I either liked the song or didn’t.
How do you think people in other non-English speaking countries listen to American or British artists?
Music transcends language and that is why BTS is so amazing. At least I can read their lyrics and fall in love with not only the melodies, beats, but their positive messages.
Americans are experiencing for the first time what it’s like to listen to great music without understanding the words. I had to do it throughout my childhood and it never bothered me, so it doesn’t bother me now either. 😊💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😊
They write their own stuff. The beats, the lyrics, producing, mixing, everything. They make their own music.
You might like to listen to rap....Haegum by Agust D (Suga from BTS), Cyphers (1-4) by BTS, Joke by RM of BTS...More and Arson by Jhope of BTS...also some great BTS songs are Fire, Not Today, Butter (all English)...that should help and they are AMAZING LIVE...BTS has a lot of songs, a lot of music videos and other content...you won't be able to "peg" them because they do many genres...started out as a Hip Hop Group and then moved into what they are today...Idols, Superstars, Wonderful People
Love BTS 💜💜🥰BTS songs (usually a mix between Korean and English) and they have some complete songs in English such as (dynamite +butter + permission to dance) & Japanese 💜
Oh boy that's my happy pill the one and only golden maknae of bts and army
Jeon jungkook...
Our super star...
You guys should react to "A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7" to know more about them
@11:44 in your vid...that is JK!!!! Jung Kook!
11:50 timestamp! hahaha. that's literally Jungkook hahahaha from the Seven song y'all reacted to twice previously lol
You guys definitely have to watch the guide to bangtan😂 it will answer all your questions!! Loved the reaction 💜
Respect dud its firist...eng is not language all the worlds...respect!!!
Each member has it's own position and role in the group.( main dancer, lead dancer, leader, main vocalist, lead vocalist, main raper, lead rapper, visual etc). With time you'll see that each member has it own thing and noone of them is better that the other. All of them r aces and it's imposible to try and pick one who is more talented or whatever😂. This is only one of the unique thing about BTS.
