You’d be surprised to know that bts has a strong following from metal heads. There’s been videos trying to understand this phenomenon. I think it comes down to their energy and messages in their songs. When you continue down the BTS rabbit hole, you’ll realize that their live performances carry so much passion and energy, much like metal concerts (not the sound, but the energy). Also, 95% of their songs are much deeper than you think. The 3 English songs are the anomalies of their discography. These 3 English songs were not written by bts, they did it during covid because they wanted to do something fun, lighthearted to cheer their fans up during covid. But the general public think bts is these 3 English songs. They write them off as a poppy boy group that gets handed their music, but they’re so far from that Bangtan sonyeondan translates to bulletproof boy scounts. They want to be a shield against unjust, prejudice aimed at the youth like bullets. Many of their songs have a message of societal unjust, loving yourself, speaking up, etc I’m from Toronto 🇨🇦
@@menohero_menovillian I concur, as a metalhead, I understand why they love BTS. It is about good music, their instrumentation, sound and their bass beats. The energy is a part of it too.
Bangtan means Bulletproof. BTS stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan- Bulletproof Boyscouts. And BTS fans are actually called ARMY. That's our official trademark name
75 yr old from Johannesburg South Africa. Silver ARMY through and through. BTS live are truly amazing. I love their ballads, BULLETPROOF the Eternal, for youth: truth untold, stage mix: your eyes tell: House of cards live,: 134340, live. Then you have the high energy ones, ON kinetic manifesto: Fire: Mic Drop: Dope: Idol.....Then there are the love songs dedicated to ARMY: Magic shop, pied piper, and many many more. The artworks Black Swan, Butterfly..... You have just opened the door to an amazing inspiring and uplifting experience, enjoy the ride. It is common knowledge among Armies the one is drawn in by the music but stay for the boys. They are truly beautiful, humble, human beings.
I laughed so hard when you yelled "Teletubbies!" at the key change part of the music video when the colored smoke rockets went up. BTS themselves did a reaction to the finished version of this video, which was hilarious, and RM (the leader/a main rapper) yelled the same thing when he saw it! 😂 Anyway, welcome! Always nice to have more metalheads around here! Borahae!
Hi Kyle, from Malaysia! I am a 66 yr old Army since 2015. BTS is the most awesome, biggest and most awarded boy band in the world. They are all dynamite, when you get into their solo work you will realize their individual talent is phenomenal. Welcome to the rabbit hole, they are fantastic as a group proficient in various genres. They all write, produce their own and group work. The leader is RM, Kim Nam Joon. The tallest one with the deep raspy voice.
The BTS rabbit hole is the most beautiful experience you can go through. It's impossible to not fall in love with them. They're as kind and humble and giving as they are gorgeous and talented.
You have no idea how much they will blow your mind. SUGA is my favourite, so I'm grateful he's short, or he might be playing basketball instead of rapping, producing, dancing lol
Hi Kyle, 52 year old ARMY from UK! These guys are amazing. You were right when you say they have 7 unique talents with their own voices. BTS as a group are huge but they each are successful individually as well. Each definitely has their own style. As a group they cover multiple genres. To get a feel for their diverse music watch BTS Festa Room Live 2021. It is a live performance of snippets of B sides from their debut year 2013 to 2021.
Hi ya Kyle, 63 year old ARMY here from the state of Kentucky in America. I'm so glad you decided to check out our guys!!! These are seven of the most unique, multi talented, givin', kind men on the planet. Their love and loyalty to ARMY sets them apart from everyone. And as good as their MVs are they're even better live, make that make sense, lol, and they do NOT lip sync. Their level of success didn't come easy. They worked incredibly hard and went through so much mistreatment to get to where they are now. I couldn't be more proud of them if they were my own sons. And you'll learn their names. You'll even learn each one of their individual voices just by hearin' them. I'm here to go on the magical BTS rabbithole journey with ya. If I may, I'd like to suggest you watch, "Fire", "Black Swan", "Dope", something live and one of the fan made videos talkin' about their journey. Taylor Marie has a good one. Am happy to have just subbed!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
47 yr old ARMY from Romania. Seen the boys live twice and a BTS concert is an experience you'll never recover from. You can't imagine how it feels until you've lived it. It's something extraordinary and totally beyond words. You have them right in front of you but you still can't believe they are real. They are so good that they seem out of this world. Most beautiful and humble human beings you'll find in the entertainment world.
Correct over the years I've seen many groups band but nothing compares to BTS. I think they threw the concert rule book out the window when it come's to BTS.
Members Starting with the Leader followed by the oldest to youngest: RM: Leader/ Rapper Jin : Oldest/ Vocalist Suga: Rapper/Producer Jhope : Rapper/ Dancer/ Dance Leader Jimin: Vocalists/ Dancer V : Vocalist/ Dancer/Actor Jk : Youngest /Main Vocalist/ Dancer Yes they all Dance/Sing/Write and Produce Songs for Not Just the Group Songs but For Their Solo Works and Other Artists as well . I hope this Helps
You’re right 7 unique personalities and musical choices that are powerhouses in their individual lanes but when they come together they are one untouchable super group. I know they don’t like the comparison but I’m OG Beatles and they remind me of them so much except they’re more stable and I can’t see them ever breaking up because of the petty crap like the Fab 4 did.💜
BTS has a strong discography over 300 songs, many genres as a band and as soloist for each one of them. So, I recommend you explore...you'll be deeply surprised. I've been following these guys since 2016 and I've never been disappointed. They work so hard, are deeply passionate about music, humble and so appreciative of their fans ARMY. 😊 Plus they are so entertaining and hilarious in the content they share. They came in Hamilton in 2018. I'm from north of Montreal.
These seven artists are especially amazing live. It's not that their recordings are less good, but their vocal quality during live performances is simply outstanding.
I’m also a metalhead and BTS are my favourite non-metal band. They’re AMAZING! Love to see fellow metal heads appreciating them. BTS is for everybody!!
They are officially the Biggest Global Group on the planet and the most Awarded group in the history of modern music with 1,400 music Awards, 31 Guinness World Records, Smashed the Beetles record and Micheal Jackson's record.
Such a great reaction. BTS also said Teletubbies when they reacted to this video. Also, a coming of age story. Lol. Suga of BTS is actually the NBA ambassador. 😊💜💜💜
Hi from 51 year old ARMY here from South Africa, my Bias is Suga 1 of the 3 rappers and the main producer for the group, his name Suga actually comes from his favorite basket ball position shooting guard = su ga , I love all the boys , BTS is 3 rappers and 4 vocalists and the leader is Kim Namjoon aka RM , as a group they are phenomenal, and individually they are also amazing , they all produce and write for BTS as well as their individual projects thanks for the reaction, Borahae from South Africa
This was the first BTS MV I watched on my own when it released, though I had heard parts of songs since a daughter is army. I then watched earlier songs like Fake Love, On Kinetic Manifesto, Microkosmos, Spring Day, and was hooked on the lyrics of their songs, which are genius level. I'm a writer from Wyoming with kids in the age range of BTS members. The only cover I can think of right now is Fix You. Most of their discography is written by the members.
Btw bts's 3 English tracks were made because English is a worldwide language , they made them because of COVID , they wanted to cheer everyone up during the pandemic. They have a whole album they made during/for the pandemic called *BE*
Hello! It's really cool to see you reacting to BTS. This song was made during the pandemic to comfort and entertain fans. If you dig deeper, you'll see that they have very meaningful and profound songs. BTS is made up of 3 rappers and 4 vocalists, and all currently have solo albums. It's worth checking out. If you're interested, there's this video, which is a guide to BTS talking about the beginning of the group and each one individually. Guide to BTS Members, Bangtan 7 Reaction
I'm 53 years old ARMY from Romania and so proud of them! Thank you for trying to know them! I hope you'll check "House of cards" live and "Make it right" live. They are amazing in concerts! Hope to see more of BTS on your channel 💜
2010 was when RM (Namjoon the Leader) an Underground Rapper who was already making a name for himself was seen and heard by another Rapper who Told BigHit about a this young song writer and Rapper. Bang was so impressed he offered RM a place straight away. Talent understands talent then Suga (aka Agust ) a another young underground Rapper and Producer joined him and was taken on as a Rapper Producer ( he Produces for other artists) The 3 Rapper was also part of the Underground Hip Hop scene as a street Dancer with the Street Dance Crew 'Neuron'. He was taken on as a Dancer and found himself surroundered by Rappers and wanted to learn to Rap after talking with Suga he was told 'Rapper has to write their own lyric's' and he did and he learn to Rap practicing in with RM and Suga (Aka Agust D) and their other Rapper Friends. Then the vocalists joined them Jimin was the last a one to join them he had about 6months of training before they Debuted on 13 June 2013. All 7 of them lived together sharing one tiny bedroom in bunk beds as BigHit was going bankrupt and was a tiny company. They built that company which is now the biggest Kpop Company in South Korean and bought out Scooter Braun company in the USA. They built HYBE on their 'Blood, Sweat and Tears' (title of one of their tracks) and are shareholders.
Hello! Army from Uruguay (South America) here, also Nightwish fan. BTS or Bangtan Sonyeondan translates to "Bulletproof Boyscouts" in English. BTS has two sides, it has very popular songs like Dynamite, Butter or Permission to Dance that are bubbly songs good to the mood and that capture the general public and then the're songs with deeper meanings that will take you down the rabbit hole. These songs address topics such as social pressure, mental health, self-esteem and various other things. Their discography goes through conceptual arcs based on works of literature and psychology. (Sorry for any errors in the language since I'm not an English language's native speaker)
First off I had to pause the video and say , I have been Army since 2017 and I would like to say, I appreciate the fact that you pulled up information on The Boys beforehand!! Not many New Reactors do that!! I really appreciate your honesty and your willingness to Give The Boys a Chance!! Real Army will be Nothing but Supportive and Help Guide you if you just ask, But I Beg of You DON’T Ever let Any Army tell you How to Go On Your Journey!! It is your Journey
I'm from Brazil, army of course! This is how we fall into these reactions. I found one a couple of days ago and went looking to see if I could find his first reaction to BTS. I thought!!! They are incredible and you will have a lot to discover.
Hi Kyle! I'm a 66 year old Army from the Dominican Republic. I found BTS during the pandemic and they gave me back my will to live. That's why I LOVE those 7 wonderful and unique Koreans. I saw you react to Fix You's cover and decided to look up your first encounter with BTS. Welcome to the rabbit hole! 💜 I'm a new follower!
Hi Kyle !! I’m 56yrs and live in Texas !! Been ARMY since 2017/18. !! Absolutely adore them and how they inspire my mental health and the world around them !! They are Humble, Grateful and ALL so uniquely talented !! Underdogs to Legends that will /Have changed not only the music industry but entire communities around the Globe for the Betterment of Humanity! Army Loyalty is As REAL as it Gets !! 🥰💟🙌🏼. I subscribed today to hear more BTS discovery 💡 for you !!
2:07 Hi, I'm from Guatemala, so neither Korean nor English is my first language. I really enjoyed the video. And yes, BTS is super big; they're all great. 💜
Just so you understand how big they are: - They were named the '19th Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century' by Billboard in 2024 - They were named 'Best National Singer of the 21st Century' by Gallup Korea in 2024 - They have the fastest accumulation of 6 1# hits on the BB Hot 100 since the Beatles - They are the only group with all its member having a solo album ranked in the Top 5 of the BB 200 Albums chart along with the Beatles That's the kind of achievements they have. They're living legends!
This is one of 3 complete English and completely pop genre songs they are in fact based in Hip Hop and R&B however they are just a group of crazy 7 lads who are musicians, Rappers, vocalist, song writers, composers and Producers who use whatever genre of music they like and mix music genre's in whatever way they like.
65 Year old Ohio, USA Army here. I second someone's recommendation of J-Hope's "More" - he knocked ARMY right out of their chairs with that one - you could hear chins hitting the floor all over the world - haha! "Fire" is one of my favorites when it comes to the harder hitting songs, also love "So What", "Mic Drop" (w/Steve Aoki) is an epic diss track featuring the rappers, "ON Kinetic Manifesto" will blow your hat off, they have hundreds of amazing songs! There's sooooooo much goodness - it would be fun to back to the beginning and check "Danger" too - they came out of the gate swinging!
The member at the end in blue who puts on his glasses is our Jazz King V and one of 2 saxophone players in the group RM being the other Saxophone player in fact RM is playing Saxophone while in the military in a military band. Edited to add V has a song coming out (while he's serving in the military) so he'll not be promoting it as they can't by law work while serving. But the song with a postumuos colabration with the late great Bill Crosby. The song being 'White Christmas' he also has a MV of a alive stage peformance of 2 old jazz numbers called Jazz de V.
I'm a 49 years old Army from Germany. BTS found me one year ago when I was mentally down. I love these 7 incredibly talented, kind hearted, handsome, humble guys. They changed my life and I will be an Army till my end on earth. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 I recommend you to watch an introduction (Bangtan 7 by Taylor Mari) if you are interested of learning about their history as group, their personalities, their talents and their music. Borahae 💜
Did you notice how many views on the video, that will give you a hint how much they are loved and admired all over the world. Suga one of the rappers and a basketball enthusiast is the NBA ambassador, they all love and respect him. Actually debuted in 2013, but idea conceived in 2010. Dynamite is one of only3 all English songs, many think their Korean or Korean/English songs are better. 72 year old from London, ARMY since 2020. All that silly talk that their fans are all teenage girls are way off. Other 2 all English songs Permission to Dance, Butter. You will also enjoy On kinetic manifesto.
I am an Army girl, I love BTS! And I saw you are a fan of Epica! Epica is one of my all time favorite bands! So yes, I have to watch all your reactions to BTS 💜
Hi there, loved your reaction btw, I'm from the East Coast of Australia, a couple of hours north of Sydney. BTS have been a big part of my life since Dec 2017. I'm a 60 year old ARMY. They will change your life I assure you for the better. Their music and lyrics, personalities, and humbleness are the driving force of why I am loyal to them, like a protective mother. They bring me joy everyday. It's not a obsession as some people like to think but a necessitity for your heart, soul and through the love and kindness they give back to their fans is why we love them so much. It's a two way street with BTS and I hope you will see what we see in them as well. Enjoy your journey. I will subscribe as I have a feeling it's going to be a good one!! Thank you x
The oldest member is 32 the youngest is 5 years younger. 5 are serving in the military and 2 have finished their military service they are all solo artist and all have record breaking solo albums but then they've always had solo work which started out with the Rapper's first of course. They also have solo work within BTS albums. ARMY is the name of the Fandom it stands for Adorable Representative M.C for Youth and the BangTan Sonyeondan which in English means 'Bulletproof Boys Scouts'. So they are often referred to as Bangtan, BTS or Bangtan Boys. In songs you'll hear them refer to themselves as Bangtan and Bulletproof.
Dynamite was my introduction to BTS in 2020. Senior ARMY here and we have quite a tribe in this fandom. They are beyond kpop. They have songs in different genre. Also, check out their live performances because they always have their mic on while doing complicated choreo. They actually sound better live. Welcome and keep exploring. It will be fun!
Vous avez encore beaucoup de vidéo à regarder pour reconnaitre leurs talents en groupe et en solo, ce" sont des artistes talentueux et ils chantent tous les genres
I live in the boonies of upstate NY and this morning went to the grocery store; the overhead music was playing slightly loud. They played a male country artist, female country artist, Dynamite then more country. Once you see/hear BTS you will find them all over your life in a million little ways. Love them so much. Their songs are like therapy sessions with a beat you can bop to. Can't wait for you to discovery them more. A great video that gives you a timeline covering their amazing journey is call The Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS by Rice Squad. Don't worry about long videos as long as you are being polite and respectful of BTS we will watch 💜
Michigan U.S.A. Army here! You may want to add Butter to your list. They have 100s of songs as a group and solo work. Jimin and Jungkook are up for BBMAs currently, check out “Who” and “Standing Next to You”. They each have amazing recent solo work in diverse styles with more coming out all the time even though 5 of 7 are still doing their mandatory military service (was prepared before they enlisted). 💜
This song is an anomaly in their discography. It's bright, poppy and not too deep lyrically, like their other two all English songs, Butter and Permission to Dance. All were put out during the pandemic as mental health pick-me-ups for the world. BTS often write songs with mental health messaging as well. BTS are a hip hop based genius artist collective (not really a boy band - that label is too limiting and doesn't fit them in many ways.) They have a very diverse catalog spanning rap and hip hop, pop, pop-rock, rap-metal, RnB, blues/jazz, neo-soul, instrumental ballads, folk, citipop, EDM, funk and more! They have no bad songs. Every one of their 20 group albums and their 15 solo albums among members is a concept album with tracks in storytelling order, some in sets based on themes. They also have many other singles, OSTs, collabs and covers. They write, compose and produce their own music and tell very personal stories of their own lives. They are world famous for the depth and complexity of their lyricism, their musical diversity and groundbreaking risk taking, their incredible choreography, which is performance art storytelling, their altruism and that of ARMY, their deep brotherhood bond and their unique and deep bond with their fans. BTS is more than a band and their fans, we are a global social movement, and we are one family, spanning the globe. I'll just say that you are not even tip of the iceberg territory in terms of what they are capable of. There is no one like them. There has never been anyone like them. There will never be anyone like them again. Are they impressive at first look, yes, but just wait. They will blow your socks off again and again if you give them a chance. Enjoy the journey. PS - Bangtan Sonyeondan means Bulletproof Boyscouts. It means to stand as a shield to protect the younger generations of the world, weathering the storms of judgement, hardships and attacks that fly at them like bullets. Sometimes it's shortened to Bangtan Boys, just Bangtan or the Tannies. They later extended the meaning to also be Beyond the Scene, signifying their continued growth and development as people and as artists. Also - we are on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, just below Canada. Hey neighbor. My hubby and I are both 50+ OG 80s metalheads and also card-carrying ARMY for life for years now.
I am a millennial metal head /alternative rock fan. Like….I go to so many festivals 😂 Became an ARMY/fan in 2015 and no lie, a BTS concert gives the same feeling (actually better) than most festivals/rock concerts I’ve been too. I’m sure you know that energy/feeling I’m talking about. The atmosphere is crazy and the adrenaline rush is amazing. Been to four of their concerts 😂 plan to go in 2025/26 when they decide to tour again. Can’t wait!!!
All the members released solo albums before having to go in the military. Except Jin who just released his when he got out. 5 of the members will be out in June of 2025. Military is mandatory in South Korea. I am 55 and grew up on rock and metal, and BTS is my favorite group. I would recommend Blackswan or Micdrop, but make sure you turn on the CC
The Leader is RM the group was built around he's a Rapper and one of the main song writers (he also writes for other artists) that doesn't mean he take the front role in the way western Band/Group Leaders do. He's more the go between with the company tries to keep the other in order they are pretty crazy at time, he's the spokes person for them when English is required more and they others understand more English than they can speak RM is fluent in English and in Japanese he's a polygot. He tries to keep them all in order at Award Show's and encourages them to make Award Show Acceptance speeches but he's just crazy as the rest of them. Oh he breaks everything and they are always teasing him for breaking things.
Thank you for giving BTS a listen! Dynamite, Butter and Permission to Dance were all English songs developed for BTS by mostly American/English speaking song writers and musicians with the purpose to cheer everyone up around the world during the pandemic and it worked! Would love for you to react to BTS Mic Drop-a completely different sound and sung in their native language, Korean. Always captions on for BTS MV's! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Please the Grammy's live performance because, it is out of this world so good and off course the music video. Warm greetings from The Netherlands. 👍💪💜🤘🍀🌷🤗🇳🇱
I'm a Canadian (recently moved to Spain) and I am bigtime ARMY. Their English songs aren't really representative of the bulk of their massive discography (probably over 400 songs between them at this point). Their B side songs are as good as (and as popular as) their A sides. They are dominating worldwide for sure and surprisingly appeal to a lot of Metalheads. I hope you will dive into all of their various music...they are sooooooo worth a deep dive and they do a ton of genres. I enjoyed your Netherlands vlog....I spent a week travelling around The Netherlands in June.
Whether is joyous pop to chear up ARMY up post covid or deep and dark lyrics full of Jungian references. Social commentary, or the most exquisite poetical ballads. Hard rap or club music because each member is a star soloist within BTS albums and with their own music. They all have different tastes so BTS covers every genre from jazz R&B, to hip hop to pop rock. They have been together between 12to 14 years, as they were gradually formed around leader RM. Suga of BTS is the ambassador for the US NBA. Jin and J Hope have both finished their 18 months in the army both passing the grueling tests to be elite warriors. Jimin has a also achieved early promotion and rlite warrior status. V is in the Special Forces. Jungkook is in the militairy police and also acts as cook gor his unit. RM isvplaying sax in the militairy band. Several members are near the border which leaves ARMY fans earthed as the NvS Korea situation is very tense right now with N Korea having blown up bridges on the border.
BTS fanbase is called ARMY LOL Not AN ARMY, not The ARMY, not BTS ARMY, just ARMY. It fits with the theme of Bulletproof. It's an acronym for Adorable Representative MC for Youth. BTS special fan meetings/concerts are called Musters. The logo for BTS used to be a bulletproof vest but was later changed to a pair of opening doors. ARMY also has a matching logo that looks like a shield, but when paired with the BTS logo is can make a stylized bulletproof vest. The themes of bullet/bulletproof/ARMY/military are used many times throughout their work.
"They like basketball" BTS Member Suga is NBA Ambassador 🫢🫢

Hallo, here is a 62 year old army from Germany. Thank you for your reaction. 💜
47 yr old ARMY from Romania. Seen the boys live twice and a BTS concert is an experience you'll never recover from. You can't imagine how it feels until you've lived it. It's something extraordinary and totally beyond words. You have them right in front of you but you still can't believe they are real. They are so good that they seem out of this world.

Correct over the years I've seen many groups band but nothing compares to BTS. I think they threw the concert rule book out the window when it come's to BTS.
Members Starting with the Leader followed by the oldest to youngest:
RM: Leader/ Rapper
Jin : Oldest/ Vocalist
Suga: Rapper/Producer
Jhope : Rapper/ Dancer/ Dance Leader
Jimin: Vocalists/ Dancer
V : Vocalist/ Dancer/Actor
Jk : Youngest /Main Vocalist/ Dancer

Mic Drop feat. Steve Aoki PRETTY PLEASE!!!!! Subscribing hoping for more BTS!
74 yr old Army here - love to welcome anyone finding BTS for first time.
They do Hip Hop to Pop . If you got a mood they have a song
You’re right 7 unique personalities and musical choices that are powerhouses in their individual lanes but when they come together they are one untouchable super group. I know they don’t like the comparison but I’m OG Beatles and they remind me of them so much except they’re more stable and I can’t see them ever breaking up because of the petty crap like the Fab 4 did.💜
BTS has a strong discography over 300 songs, many genres as a band and as soloist for each one of them. So, I recommend you explore...you'll be deeply surprised.
I've been following these guys since 2016 and I've never been disappointed. They work so hard, are deeply passionate about music, humble and so appreciative of their fans ARMY. 😊 Plus they are so entertaining and hilarious in the content they share.
They came in Hamilton in 2018.
I'm from north of Montreal.
@@cathou-quebec8544 we don’t even categories them as K-pop cos they are a genre of their own. Legends!
I haven't actually done the math myself, but I've heard that with all their solos and collabs they're over 500 now. 💜
These seven artists are especially amazing live. It's not that their recordings are less good, but their vocal quality during live performances is simply outstanding.
I hear BTS as store music in a Vancouver Superstore. Someone on evening shift is definitely Maple ARMY 😉
Hallo from Germany, 56 year old Army here
I’m also a metalhead and BTS are my favourite non-metal band. They’re AMAZING! Love to see fellow metal heads appreciating them. BTS is for everybody!!
They are officially the Biggest Global Group on the planet and the most Awarded group in the history of modern music with 1,400 music Awards, 31 Guinness World Records, Smashed the Beetles record and Micheal Jackson's record.
LOL, they made the Teletubbies joke about themselves in this MV too. This is not their typical style at all.
Such a great reaction. BTS also said Teletubbies when they reacted to this video. Also, a coming of age story. Lol. Suga of BTS is actually the NBA ambassador. 😊💜💜💜
Hi from 51 year old ARMY here from South Africa, my Bias is Suga 1 of the 3 rappers and the main producer for the group, his name Suga actually comes from his favorite basket ball position shooting guard = su ga , I love all the boys , BTS is 3 rappers and 4 vocalists and the leader is Kim Namjoon aka RM , as a group they are phenomenal, and individually they are also amazing , they all produce and write for BTS as well as their individual projects thanks for the reaction, Borahae from South Africa
I'm from Quebec, Canada. I'm baby Army. I love see a canadian reaction!
@@Manotrem36 Me, too. From BC lower mainland.
A metalhead who loves pop music? You will make the perfect Army! 😂😂
True😂 I'm pretty sure that at least 40% of us are metalheads😂
This was the first BTS MV I watched on my own when it released, though I had heard parts of songs since a daughter is army. I then watched earlier songs like Fake Love, On Kinetic Manifesto, Microkosmos, Spring Day, and was hooked on the lyrics of their songs, which are genius level. I'm a writer from Wyoming with kids in the age range of BTS members. The only cover I can think of right now is Fix You. Most of their discography is written by the members.
And Missing you
Oh, and Come Back Home! Love that one.
Btw bts's 3 English tracks were made because English is a worldwide language , they made them because of COVID , they wanted to cheer everyone up during the pandemic. They have a whole album they made during/for the pandemic called *BE*
I'm 48 year old, ARMY from Moscow Russia 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Bts is huge were i am from too and i am from iraq 💜💜💜
Hello! It's really cool to see you reacting to BTS. This song was made during the pandemic to comfort and entertain fans. If you dig deeper, you'll see that they have very meaningful and profound songs. BTS is made up of 3 rappers and 4 vocalists, and all currently have solo albums. It's worth checking out. If you're interested, there's this video, which is a guide to BTS talking about the beginning of the group and each one individually. Guide to BTS Members, Bangtan 7 Reaction
I'm in the UK and have seen Bangtan live at Wembley Stadium on the second night were we suprised them and sang in Korean to them we had them in tears.
I'm 53 years old ARMY from Romania and so proud of them! Thank you for trying to know them! I hope you'll check "House of cards" live and "Make it right" live. They are amazing in concerts! Hope to see more of BTS on your channel 💜
2010 was when RM (Namjoon the Leader) an Underground Rapper who was already making a name for himself was seen and heard by another Rapper who Told BigHit about a this young song writer and Rapper. Bang was so impressed he offered RM a place straight away. Talent understands talent then Suga (aka Agust ) a another young underground Rapper and Producer joined him and was taken on as a Rapper Producer ( he Produces for other artists) The 3 Rapper was also part of the Underground Hip Hop scene as a street Dancer with the Street Dance Crew 'Neuron'. He was taken on as a Dancer and found himself surroundered by Rappers and wanted to learn to Rap after talking with Suga he was told 'Rapper has to write their own lyric's' and he did and he learn to Rap practicing in with RM and Suga (Aka Agust D) and their other Rapper Friends. Then the vocalists joined them Jimin was the last a one to join them he had about 6months of training before they Debuted on 13 June 2013. All 7 of them lived together sharing one tiny bedroom in bunk beds as BigHit was going bankrupt and was a tiny company. They built that company which is now the biggest Kpop Company in South Korean and bought out Scooter Braun company in the USA. They built HYBE on their 'Blood, Sweat and Tears' (title of one of their tracks) and are shareholders.
Hello! Army from Uruguay (South America) here, also Nightwish fan. BTS or Bangtan Sonyeondan translates to "Bulletproof Boyscouts" in English. BTS has two sides, it has very popular songs like Dynamite, Butter or Permission to Dance that are bubbly songs good to the mood and that capture the general public and then the're songs with deeper meanings that will take you down the rabbit hole. These songs address topics such as social pressure, mental health, self-esteem and various other things. Their discography goes through conceptual arcs based on works of literature and psychology. (Sorry for any errors in the language since I'm not an English language's native speaker)
You did great bravo.
@@eileencritchley4630 thank you
First off I had to pause the video and say , I have been Army since 2017 and I would like to say, I appreciate the fact that you pulled up information on The Boys beforehand!! Not many New Reactors do that!! I really appreciate your honesty and your willingness to Give The Boys a Chance!! Real Army will be Nothing but Supportive and Help Guide you if you just ask, But I Beg of You DON’T Ever let Any Army tell you How to Go On Your Journey!! It is your Journey
I'm from Brazil, army of course! This is how we fall into these reactions. I found one a couple of days ago and went looking to see if I could find his first reaction to BTS. I thought!!! They are incredible and you will have a lot to discover.
Hi Kyle! I'm a 66 year old Army from the Dominican Republic. I found BTS during the pandemic and they gave me back my will to live. That's why I LOVE those 7 wonderful and unique Koreans.
I saw you react to Fix You's cover and decided to look up your first encounter with BTS.
Welcome to the rabbit hole! 💜
I'm a new follower!
I'm from Southern California, United States.
Hi Kyle !! I’m 56yrs and live in Texas !! Been ARMY since 2017/18. !! Absolutely adore them and how they inspire my mental health and the world around them !!

Underdogs to Legends that will /Have changed not only the music industry but entire communities around the Globe for the Betterment of Humanity! Army Loyalty is As REAL as it Gets !! 🥰💟🙌🏼.
I subscribed today to hear more BTS discovery 💡 for you !!

Hi, I'm from Guatemala, so neither Korean nor English is my first language. I really enjoyed the video.
And yes, BTS is super big; they're all great. 💜
Just so you understand how big they are:
- They were named the '19th Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century' by Billboard in 2024
- They were named 'Best National Singer of the 21st Century' by Gallup Korea in 2024
- They have the fastest accumulation of 6 1# hits on the BB Hot 100 since the Beatles
- They are the only group with all its member having a solo album ranked in the Top 5 of the BB 200 Albums chart along with the Beatles
That's the kind of achievements they have. They're living legends!
This is one of 3 complete English and completely pop genre songs they are in fact based in Hip Hop and R&B however they are just a group of crazy 7 lads who are musicians, Rappers, vocalist, song writers, composers and Producers who use whatever genre of music they like and mix music genre's in whatever way they like.
65 Year old Ohio, USA Army here. I second someone's recommendation of J-Hope's "More" - he knocked ARMY right out of their chairs with that one - you could hear chins hitting the floor all over the world - haha! "Fire" is one of my favorites when it comes to the harder hitting songs, also love "So What", "Mic Drop" (w/Steve Aoki) is an epic diss track featuring the rappers, "ON Kinetic Manifesto" will blow your hat off, they have hundreds of amazing songs! There's sooooooo much goodness - it would be fun to back to the beginning and check "Danger" too - they came out of the gate swinging!
The member at the end in blue who puts on his glasses is our Jazz King V and one of 2 saxophone players in the group RM being the other Saxophone player in fact RM is playing Saxophone while in the military in a military band.
Edited to add V has a song coming out (while he's serving in the military) so he'll not be promoting it as they can't by law work while serving. But the song with a postumuos colabration with the late great Bill Crosby. The song being 'White Christmas' he also has a MV of a alive stage peformance of 2 old jazz numbers called Jazz de V.
I'm a 49 years old Army from Germany. BTS found me one year ago when I was mentally down. I love these 7 incredibly talented, kind hearted, handsome, humble guys. They changed my life and I will be an Army till my end on earth. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 I recommend you to watch an introduction (Bangtan 7 by Taylor Mari) if you are interested of learning about their history as group, their personalities, their talents and their music. Borahae 💜
G’Day from Australia 🇦🇺💜✨ welcome to the deepest rabbit hole in music history, I think - you’re in for a wild ride dude 🫶🏻👌
Did you notice how many views on the video, that will give you a hint how much they are loved and admired all over the world.
Suga one of the rappers and a basketball enthusiast is the NBA ambassador, they all love and respect him.
Actually debuted in 2013, but idea conceived in 2010.
Dynamite is one of only3 all English songs, many think their Korean or Korean/English songs are better.
72 year old from London, ARMY since 2020. All that silly talk that their fans are all teenage girls are way off.
Other 2 all English songs
Permission to Dance,
Butter.
You will also enjoy On kinetic manifesto.
Thank you for your reaction welcome to the rabbit hole 🇬🇧
I am an Army girl, I love BTS! And I saw you are a fan of Epica! Epica is one of my all time favorite bands! So yes, I have to watch all your reactions to BTS 💜
Hi there, loved your reaction btw, I'm from the East Coast of Australia, a couple of hours north of Sydney. BTS have been a big part of my life since Dec 2017. I'm a 60 year old ARMY. They will change your life I assure you for the better. Their music and lyrics, personalities, and humbleness are the driving force of why I am loyal to them, like a protective mother. They bring me joy everyday. It's not a obsession as some people like to think but a necessitity for your heart, soul and through the love and kindness they give back to their fans is why we love them so much. It's a two way street with BTS and I hope you will see what we see in them as well. Enjoy your journey. I will subscribe as I have a feeling it's going to be a good one!! Thank you x
Hello,army Spain 🇪🇦 love BTS💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

another song by then is Butter you gotta check out its so incredible and also Mic drop as well by bts
47-year-old ARMY from Brazil supporting those who support our boys💜💜💜🇧🇷🇧🇷
The oldest member is 32 the youngest is 5 years younger. 5 are serving in the military and 2 have finished their military service they are all solo artist and all have record breaking solo albums but then they've always had solo work which started out with the Rapper's first of course. They also have solo work within BTS albums. ARMY is the name of the Fandom it stands for Adorable Representative M.C for Youth and the BangTan Sonyeondan which in English means 'Bulletproof Boys Scouts'. So they are often referred to as Bangtan, BTS or Bangtan Boys. In songs you'll hear them refer to themselves as Bangtan and Bulletproof.
Hi, I live in Minnesota. Been a grandma army since 2019. Welcome to the BTS world.
From Denmark and army for almost a year now
J-Hope “more”
Dynamite was my introduction to BTS in 2020. Senior ARMY here and we have quite a tribe in this fandom. They are beyond kpop. They have songs in different genre. Also, check out their live performances because they always have their mic on while doing complicated choreo. They actually sound better live. Welcome and keep exploring. It will be fun!
Welcome to BTS You-niverse. ARMY from the Philippines.
Vous avez encore beaucoup de vidéo à regarder pour reconnaitre leurs talents en groupe et en solo, ce" sont des artistes talentueux et ils chantent tous les genres
Hi!! Here a 44 Army from Argentina. I loved your reactions. Hope You get going into this rabbit hole. It's a one way rode.
Welcome! 💜🇦🇷💜🇦🇷💜🇦🇷
I live in the boonies of upstate NY and this morning went to the grocery store; the overhead music was playing slightly loud. They played a male country artist, female country artist, Dynamite then more country. Once you see/hear BTS you will find them all over your life in a million little ways. Love them so much. Their songs are like therapy sessions with a beat you can bop to. Can't wait for you to discovery them more. A great video that gives you a timeline covering their amazing journey is call The Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS by Rice Squad. Don't worry about long videos as long as you are being polite and respectful of BTS we will watch 💜
I'm also from Canada and you can't go anywhere without hearing Dynamite XD Hello this is your fellow 32-year old ARMY
Hello, i’m from Denmark, been ARMY since 2020 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Michigan U.S.A. Army here! You may want to add Butter to your list. They have 100s of songs as a group and solo work. Jimin and Jungkook are up for BBMAs currently, check out “Who” and “Standing Next to You”. They each have amazing recent solo work in diverse styles with more coming out all the time even though 5 of 7 are still doing their mandatory military service (was prepared before they enlisted). 💜
Hello! Army from Azerbaijan! I am a 42 yr.
Hello. I'm from Venezuela... hope more reactions to BTS
FRENCH ARMY here. I am 48 .
Bienvenu 💜
moi aussi sauf que j'ai eu 49 la semaine dernière
This song is an anomaly in their discography. It's bright, poppy and not too deep lyrically, like their other two all English songs, Butter and Permission to Dance. All were put out during the pandemic as mental health pick-me-ups for the world. BTS often write songs with mental health messaging as well.
BTS are a hip hop based genius artist collective (not really a boy band - that label is too limiting and doesn't fit them in many ways.) They have a very diverse catalog spanning rap and hip hop, pop, pop-rock, rap-metal, RnB, blues/jazz, neo-soul, instrumental ballads, folk, citipop, EDM, funk and more! They have no bad songs. Every one of their 20 group albums and their 15 solo albums among members is a concept album with tracks in storytelling order, some in sets based on themes. They also have many other singles, OSTs, collabs and covers. They write, compose and produce their own music and tell very personal stories of their own lives. They are world famous for the depth and complexity of their lyricism, their musical diversity and groundbreaking risk taking, their incredible choreography, which is performance art storytelling, their altruism and that of ARMY, their deep brotherhood bond and their unique and deep bond with their fans. BTS is more than a band and their fans, we are a global social movement, and we are one family, spanning the globe.
I'll just say that you are not even tip of the iceberg territory in terms of what they are capable of. There is no one like them. There has never been anyone like them. There will never be anyone like them again. Are they impressive at first look, yes, but just wait. They will blow your socks off again and again if you give them a chance. Enjoy the journey.
PS - Bangtan Sonyeondan means Bulletproof Boyscouts. It means to stand as a shield to protect the younger generations of the world, weathering the storms of judgement, hardships and attacks that fly at them like bullets. Sometimes it's shortened to Bangtan Boys, just Bangtan or the Tannies. They later extended the meaning to also be Beyond the Scene, signifying their continued growth and development as people and as artists.
Also - we are on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, just below Canada. Hey neighbor.
My hubby and I are both 50+ OG 80s metalheads and also card-carrying ARMY for life for years now.
I am a millennial metal head /alternative rock fan. Like….I go to so many festivals 😂 Became an ARMY/fan in 2015 and no lie, a BTS concert gives the same feeling (actually better) than most festivals/rock concerts I’ve been too. I’m sure you know that energy/feeling I’m talking about. The atmosphere is crazy and the adrenaline rush is amazing. Been to four of their concerts 😂 plan to go in 2025/26 when they decide to tour again.
Can’t wait!!!
All the members released solo albums before having to go in the military. Except Jin who just released his when he got out. 5 of the members will be out in June of 2025. Military is mandatory in South Korea. I am 55 and grew up on rock and metal, and BTS is my favorite group. I would recommend Blackswan or Micdrop, but make sure you turn on the CC
The Leader is RM the group was built around he's a Rapper and one of the main song writers (he also writes for other artists) that doesn't mean he take the front role in the way western Band/Group Leaders do. He's more the go between with the company tries to keep the other in order they are pretty crazy at time, he's the spokes person for them when English is required more and they others understand more English than they can speak RM is fluent in English and in Japanese he's a polygot. He tries to keep them all in order at Award Show's and encourages them to make Award Show Acceptance speeches but he's just crazy as the rest of them. Oh he breaks everything and they are always teasing him for breaking things.
Love your vibe! 👍
I'm Army from Italy 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜BTS forever 💜
Thank you for giving BTS a listen! Dynamite, Butter and Permission to Dance were all English songs developed for BTS by mostly American/English speaking song writers and musicians with the purpose to cheer everyone up around the world during the pandemic and it worked! Would love for you to react to BTS Mic Drop-a completely different sound and sung in their native language, Korean. Always captions on for BTS MV's! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Norway 🇳🇴
Butter !!! 🙏🏻💜
Please the Grammy's live performance because, it is out of this world so good and off course the music video.
Warm greetings from The Netherlands.
👍💪💜🤘🍀🌷🤗🇳🇱
Hi thanks for your sincere reactions 🤩 warm greetings from the Italian Army🇮🇹💜💜💜
Hello! 40 yr old ARMY here 😊 I’m from Kingman, AZ USA
Greetings from Perú, 57 yr old proud Army.
I'm a Canadian (recently moved to Spain) and I am bigtime ARMY. Their English songs aren't really representative of the bulk of their massive discography (probably over 400 songs between them at this point). Their B side songs are as good as (and as popular as) their A sides. They are dominating worldwide for sure and surprisingly appeal to a lot of Metalheads. I hope you will dive into all of their various music...they are sooooooo worth a deep dive and they do a ton of genres. I enjoyed your Netherlands vlog....I spent a week travelling around The Netherlands in June.
Whether is joyous pop to chear up ARMY up post covid or deep and dark lyrics full of Jungian references. Social commentary, or the most exquisite poetical ballads. Hard rap or club music because each member is a star soloist within BTS albums and with their own music. They all have different tastes so BTS covers every genre from jazz R&B, to hip hop to pop rock. They have been together between 12to 14 years, as they were gradually formed around leader RM. Suga of BTS is the ambassador for the US NBA. Jin and J Hope have both finished their 18 months in the army both passing the grueling tests to be elite warriors. Jimin has a also achieved early promotion and rlite warrior status. V is in the Special Forces. Jungkook is in the militairy police and also acts as cook gor his unit. RM isvplaying sax in the militairy band. Several members are near the border which leaves ARMY fans earthed as the NvS Korea situation is very tense right now with N Korea having blown up bridges on the border.
Rm is the leader. And BTS is so much more that k-pop. Hip hop, edm, ballad, etc.
Hello from Pakistan ❤
BTS fanbase is called ARMY LOL Not AN ARMY, not The ARMY, not BTS ARMY, just ARMY.
It fits with the theme of Bulletproof. It's an acronym for Adorable Representative MC for Youth. BTS special fan meetings/concerts are called Musters. The logo for BTS used to be a bulletproof vest but was later changed to a pair of opening doors. ARMY also has a matching logo that looks like a shield, but when paired with the BTS logo is can make a stylized bulletproof vest. The themes of bullet/bulletproof/ARMY/military are used many times throughout their work.
