The funniest short description of the three BTS rappers ever and it totally fits: Suga will straight up tell you you're sh_t, RM will explain to you why you're sh_t and J-Hope will tell you it's ok to be sh_t.
😂
Oh my God...I just LOVE that! So true. Borahae💜
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💜💜💜
Soooooo true 😂
So true!😂💜
snorts, so true
10:15 "it's a dad joke" this is so fitting because JIN loves telling dad jokes. hahahahaha
STOB IT 😂😂😂
I thought the same thing!
@@angelah3556 Yes, so funny. ( in reaction called by name KIm) goes by Jin
That was hilarious in itself 😅
I was going to say "he's going to love Jin's dad jokes"🤣
Taylor Mari’s video gives a deeper view of the guys, not so focused on their commercial success like this one is. This one is rather “they’re great because they’re huge” while the other is “they’re huge because they’re great”. Definitely worth watching and I guarantee we will happily watch with you :)
I feel both are good. And they both provide great info and should be watched interchangeably. 💜
He should watch all the guides honestly.
It's still a good starting point, esp. since The Lonely Dad didn't rule out watching the others.
Taylor's guide gives you insight about each members and this gives you insight about whole groups commercial success and journey so both are different types of video
@@dinaarmymom9145 wrong
A Dad joke during Jin’s part was the most appropriate timing for it. Jin is the king of dad jokes. Love it!
This video doesn’t acknowledge the hate, adversity, and mental struggles they faced to make it this far.
Plus, they were homegrown using UA-cam logs to let ARMY in and show genuine care for their supporters.
Your awe of them will continue to grow as you not only realize they have talent but hearts of gold (or purple) to match. And they still do. Thanks! Please watch the other one.
It's great that you see Jimin's outer beauty because he is indeed beautiful but his inner self is far more beautiful.
That was pretty much the most accurate description of Jimin 😂❤️
It's not.
Silver army here 👵🏼 (at 80) 😅😂🤣 you have me in stitches because I experienced 9 years ago exactly what you are doing to learn about BTS, I too took many notes, and dove deep into the rabbit hole . So welcome 🫶💜
Ohhhhh Nooo hun, once you pass 75 you are GOLD!!!
You are a GOLDEN ARMY Love....😂😆🤣🫰💜💜💜
@@rgober60 This is so sweet! At 86, I guess I'm golden, too! I fell into the rabbit hole in 2020 and have loved every minute of watching them! 💜
@donnasweet3198 Blessings hun, I fell into that hole around late 2015 , 2016 and have loved it!!! It's like I had 6 more kids to watch over. Best part was sometimes I got to talk to RM on lives a few times , which helped make the feeling of closeness even more for me. Stay healthy and happy sister!!
🫰💜💜💜
@@rgober60 back at you ❣️ 💜
I stumbled upon the "Mic Drop" video in 2018 and immediately slid into the rabbit hole at 57! I can't believe I struggled to tell them apart. Now I can identify them from their shadows!😅
Jimin is so beautiful, all men and women love him. Please don't feel strange or even question your manhood.
It's the Jimin effect, nobody can look at jimin a long period of time and not be caught up. Yes you're right Prince had the same effect on people also.
Thank you so much for reacting to BTS
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I'm Army for life
I'm so happy u did that Dad joke in Jin's introduction because Jin is a big fan of dad jokes.
I found RM on a low quality underground rap show when he performed as Raunch Randa opposite Zico and went... Wait who is he!! Followed him to BTS. I was ARMY before BTS or ARMY EXISTED! 🎉😂😂🎉💜💜💜
That video of RM and Zico is still available... I'll attach the link below for you
[Namjoon is wearing the white hat and zico is wearing glasses and a red shirt-] ua-cam.com/video/qY3kV-UaAfI/v-deo.html
Respect.....
@@beccal.5369Thank you!
Before 2013?
Yes we do celebrate June 13 when they debut and July 9 for ARMY.
Jimin is an extremely highly awarded martial artist in 5 separate & grueling fighting arts. Do not let his delicate beauty fool you. Dude is a bad ass holding 4 black belts & holds the highest accredation in the hard core contact Japanese fighting art of Kendo.
Kendo is sword fighting, not hard body contact. He did kendo for eight years--told his mother he wanted to be the character Zoro from One Piece. I think that the black belt count is too inflated also--he didn't spend much time on hapkido or the chinese art.
@@mplahke
It is Japanese in origin, it is practiced, using a wooden sword & a bamboo staff. The combatants, wear very sturdy protective gear & body armor, often crafted from bamboo as well. The wooden sword & bamboo staff, do make contact , with you & your sparring partner. Now, if the participants of this sport, were not wearing heavily padded, tightly lashed bamboo body armor, the potential for serious injury & even death, are very easily concieved. Kendo , is very physical & stresses the use of various wooden & bamboo practice weapons, do make some pretty swift & hard contact with the body armor. You can hear , the very loud & abrupt, smacking & cracking of the mock weapons , upon the body armor, during heavy sparring sessions, or in professional demonstrations & tournaments , or hard core one on one sessions, between Masters .
@@mplahke
The concept , of Kendo translated, means ,
" The Way of The Sword." It was developed as a way of training Samurai warriors, without death or mortal injury, being an occupational hazard, or risk to the combatants. So wooden & bamboo weapons, such as mock, wooden two handed swords, were used in the place of razor sharp steel blades. Now in the hands of a highly trained warrior , these wooden weapons, still have deadly potential & still can cause , very serious injury. The ranking system in Kendo, does not use a coloured belt system, to designate rank & ability of it's students.
It is a very involved & difficult writing excercise, that requires serious studying & a deep & precise understanding, of the sport, its origins, philosophies, rules of engagement , history , etc etc
The written test determines one's accredation & ranking , thru various levels of certifications & award systems.
I believe my information, is primarily, sound & correct. If it is erroneous, incorrect , or is totally off base, please let me know. I am always open to being corrected, thus , gladly learning the proper information.
Park Jimin is the only member with a Black belt in Taekwondo. He did Kendo/Kumdo 8 years and is 5th Dan. He did Hapkido 8 years. He also has some Chinese Martial Arts (I am not sure how long) Combined Jimin is a Lethal Weapon...✌💜
Jin was a revelation in the group...learning to sing and dance from zero experience...that's legit talent BigHit was able to discover/uncover from Jin.
I know, it's incredible the talent that was imparted to him, thru hard work & dedication. It's hard to believe he couldnt dance or sing, he was only chosen based on his looks and charisma alone. They chose all 7 so magically well , it's like the planets aligned when those 7 people, stood side by side .
RM is the leader of BTS he handles the work parts of BTS deals with management. Plus he's there main song writer along with house producers and suga
I love that you are taking notes! Too cute. Also, Jin would appreciate your dad joke for sure!!! Keep going 💜
Thank you Suzi lol Lord knows I am trying and having a blast doing so :)
This is the older version. The updated version is exactly the same but has some extras at the end.This gives you some info about their rise, the other video people are talking about tells you a bit about each member.
The biggest mistake they made in this video was saying BTS had their sights set on dominating the US by releasing Dynamite. That is wrong. Dynamite only existed because their tour was cancelled due to covid. This, and their album BE, were projects they worked on while they couldn't perform and we all faced restrictions. It was made in English so more fans as well as the public could sing along and cheer up. It was a successful fluke!!💜
Yes. Dynamite was specifically released to give energy and cheer to the world/ARMY in that difficult time.
Yes that part annoys me so much 😩 it misinforms new army
He has an updated version of this, but I recommend Taylor Mari documentary if you want to learn about each member. RM is the leader and the only one fluent in English, which is why he was the one on the mic. FYI, Park is his last name Jimin is first. In Korea, the last name is first.
Dont get me wrong i love this ! But i believe A guide to BTS by taylor mari is better just because its more detailed and it also mentions and shows their solo music! Which is an extension of who they are as artist!
Agree that is probably the best one to watch
This version of the introduction is also outdated
The 2022 version had so much more they have accomplished and done its absolutely incredible
RM is the only one fluent in English, so that is why he leads the interviews in English speaking countries... the others are learning English in order to help him in the future. The others talk much more during Korean interviews.
RM taught himself English by watching the tv show Friends, he is extremely intelligent with a 148 IQ.
He is not just the leader because he was the first member... he is the one who is best suited to the position... he has the full support and backing of all the members even though he is not the oldest (age is very important in Korean society). Even though he was only 18 when they debut he had the skills to be the liaison between the members and the company.
Please watch the other video... it explains each member much better for you.
RM He is the leader and the only one at the time who spoke fluent English, which is why he was always in front at award ceremonies or interviews.
I love all members .but jimin is special for me 😊
RM is the only one who can speak English fluently.
And Japanese too 😁💜
@@LeFanAbsolueDeSKZ they are all fluent in Japanese💜
I think they're all fluent in Japanese hence their Japanese song versions. However, every member has been studying English, and they all know way more than we thought, especially Yoongi🙃💜
RM is usually leading interviews and such because he is the leader of the group, and for a long time the only one fluent in English, though the others are catching up. Welcome to the rabbit hole 💜💜💜
You should watch “Jimin making men question their sexuality for 11 minutes” and know that you are not the only one. 😂😂😂 that’s a hilarious video!
what! That exists!?? I'm searching NOW LOL
Koreans write their last names first, so Kim is their last names, Kim Namjoon (RM) Kim Seok Jin ( Jin) Kim Taehyung (V) ❤❤
I was going to write it but saw you did so didn't think I needed too.
The joke goes "You can stand on any corner of Seoul, throw a stone, and hit a Kim." According to Wikpedia 20+% of South Koreans share this family name.
I was just going to type this lol 💜💜
Classic phrase: “Once you Jimin….you can’t Jimout”…..love it. Do you know what?….. I fully appreciate your dedication in trying to understand the phenomena that is BTS. I find Some reactors soooo frustrating in that they play a couple of songs and think they know BTS, without actually doing any research or discovering their back story. So a big thank you, from a 60yr old Aussie (Australian) fan. 👏🏼🎉
Xceleste's BTS Hardships 2013-2021 is also a must
agree
I don't agree .. I imagine you have several years with BTS, haven't you got to know them, to understand them, to know that that is not what they wanna be known for... Their music is not about that.. victimizing oneself
@alifc1082 it's about known that part of their story. To understand a person you care about you care about their story. The good, the bad, the ugly, the growth, & the healing. As he journeys through the rabbit hole these past trials will be mentioned or revisited so it helps to know & understand the true stories that are being discussed.
@@alifc1082 I think it also gives some perspective to those meeting them as the powerhouse they are now. You're right, it shouldn't be to focus on the victimhood, but there are those who assume that they are where they are because they've had money and influence behind them (& disparage them for it). Hybe is now so big that it's hard for newcomers to understand the beginnings or recognize that Hybe is the house that BTS built. Honestly, if you can tell that story of the challenges overcome with less victim focus, I'd be happy to watch.
They can have an amazing influence on a person. I saw them on TV a couple of times, just a current song, around 2014 maybe and 2018, but there was no 'click' on my side.... But 2023, around February, I'd watched a couple of k-dramas, BTS began to filter in through the algorithms on my phone. I started to get a little interested, already I was in a tough mental state with things hanging over from Covid and various issues with the family. I saw Jin at the piano, performing Epiphany..and it was.. 'I have to love me'. I'd found my bolt-hole (rabbit hole!) to escape the things that bothered me.. and managed to lose a lot of weight physically, too (much needed!) I LOVE these guys! Every one of them is an absolute gem. I'm 65, wish I'd 'found them' earlier, but it's said you find them when you need them most (a lovely fan legend... but true?) And Suga has said something so unbelievably sweet, if you haven't come across this before, you'll love it: "You shouldn't feel bad that you weren't with us at the beginning...The day you found us was the day we debuted for you." Humble as ever. Thoughtful' loving and caring as ever.
That’s funny that you told a dad joke during Jin’s segment. He’s known for telling dad jokes and then laughing in his signature “windshield wiper” laugh!
I appreciate that you were taking notes. 😆I'm sure other ARMYs are commenting that in Korea they use the surname first then their first name. For example: Kim Namjoon (RM) = Namjoon as his first name, and Kim as his last name. BTW, RM is the leader of BTS. As for American Hustle Life, Warren G was actually nice to the guys. But Coolio on the other hand not so much. It's actually a great show to watch. I said this before and I'll say it again, I enjoy your reactions. You have become one of my fave reactors.
You have no clue how much BTS acknowledges their ARMY! 😊💜 you are in for a beautiful journey with BTS, Suga once said when you find them it is the day they debut for you 😊
FYI- in Korea they say the last name first. So their “first”name is actually last.
You are fun to watch. Please don’t feel pressure. It should be fun! 💜
Also, I like this documentary. The only thing better is the Rise of Bangtan which is in the boys on words. It is made of videos, UA-cam vlogs, and shows. They basically tell their story.
23:29 Ladies and Gentlemen, Jimin did it again! We’ve got another one. 💪😂
Although RM is the leader, he is not the oldest. I would say he is the middle child. Jin, Suga and J-Hope are older and Tae, Jimin and JK are younger. His position as leader is a testament in itself of his intelligence and talent. Age is still highly regarded in South Kores so for the older members to recognize RM leadership ability speaks for itself. He has a very high IQ and a natural gift for languages. As commented below, RM is fluent in English and other languages. That is why you see him as the spokesperson. However, JK and J-Hope are also studying English and the other members give speeches in English quite often.
RM is the leader but he always makes sure to share the spotlight with the other members and encourages them to speak. He takes the lead in English interviews because he's the only one fluent in English and he often translates during interviews. RM teached himself English by watching the sitcom 'Friends'. He's very smart and has an IQ of 148...
All South Korean males have to do "Mandatory Military Service" each from 18mos-2yrs. So the group decided to do solo albums since they're all enlisting different times.
Each member have already debuted there solo album. Jungkook is the last and youngest in the group to finish his album.
Each member had the freedom to do any kind of album they wanted to, Jungkook wanted a pop style album and the entire album is in English.
The group will be back together in 2025 everyone will finish military service by then.
Each BTS member did a solo album for the first time. Here is the members name, name of album and year album came out.
1) J-Hope 2022* Jack ln The Box
2) Jin* 2022 "ASTRONAUT" single song finishing album after discharge have military in 6/2024, he's the first to enlist.
3) RM* 2022 "INDIGO"
4) Jimin* 2023 "FACE"
5) Suga* 2023 "D-DAY"
6) V* 2023 "LAYOVER"
7) Jungkpok* 2023 "GOLDEN"
Each member has different styles and sounds for their solo album you should check it out.
All the members worked hard on their solo albums to bring out their on personality.
Appreciate you for taking notes. Welcome to the crazy rabbit hole. 💜💜
BTS Debut anniversary celebration is known as FESTA & ARMY bday celebration is known as MUSTER.
Tiny correction... Muster hasn't always been held on ARMY birthdays, because "muster" is a military word for the troops to gather together (to be counted and usually preparatory for an attack), so, very appropriate for ARMY, regardless of date.
@@WonderingWildWanderingRose I was meaning they call ur fanmet for our fandom birthday celebration MUSTER
@@christinaneville2814 I understood that, and was saying that the fan meeting called Muster was not always held on ARMY'S birthday. I'm saying some Musters were held in different months. Muster is less of a birthday celebration and more "special gathering" that isn't even held every year.
There is an updated version of this video. It doesn’t cover their hiatus and solos, but does add to and correct some of the information.
You are spot on with Jimin 😄
🤣🤣 I love that you are taking notes.
One of the problems with this video. He calls them Kim. That is their last name, so he is basically calling them Smith. Last name is first in Korean.
Kim Namjoon = RM
Kim Seokjin = Jin, the oldest member
Kim Taehyung = V
They all have the same last name.
Jeon Jungkook. Jeon is his last name.
And don't worry, BTS gives us lots of content for the anniversaries.
😘💜🫰🏻🫶🏻
Warren G was nice to them and saw their potential. Coolio rip, was a bit cringe and one other guy who thankfully disappeared from the show. If you can make it past the "kidnapping" first episode (I am still mad about it) there are some brilliant later episodes that are necessary to understanding their journey. But it will make you mad.
💜
RM is the leader and the only one fluent in English. This video doesn't explain their origins of all sleeping in one bedroom and BigHit having no money and influence. It was a big deal that they came from a small company.
I hope at some point you will watch the other video. It will explain so much more. 🫰🏻🫶🏻
I still feel a certain way about the opening of AHL. Who thought it was a good idea to do it this way?! What a scary way to kick things off.
There is actually 2023 updated version. This video is actually old one from 2021.
If you want to more abt the other member, then watch "A Guide to BTS members"
RM IS the Leader of BTS. Every Kpop group has a leader. It is an appointed position with a lot of responsibility. The members all have so much respect for his leadership skills. He acts as the link between the group and management and is often the group spokesman.
15:46 remember in the beginning he said producer bang si-hyuk wanted to create a group young folks could relate to & look up to? So, According to J-Hope, the name signifies the group's desire "to block out stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations that aim on adolescents like bullets". They later expanded on the name to mean "beyond the scene", This extended the meaning of their name to encompass the idea of growth "from a boy to an adult who opens the doors that are facing forward" , The youth who don't accept their current reality & follow their dreams etc. It all ties together 💜
Eta 21:15 many ARMYs will tell you to not watch American Hustle Life, because people disrespected them (plus production played a cruel prank on them) in the 1st couple episodes but it's really good...cringy? Absolutely but you get to see where BTS learned so much, & they still utilize those lessons til this day. If you watch the show (UA-cam, 8 episodes) you'd see the lead up and reasoning behind the very cringe warren g mv of boy in love. If you just watch that version of the mv it's soooo... Not great lol. Warren g was very respectful though and was so impressed by them he gave a track to Namjoon (RM) to see what kind of beats he'd lay on it.
32:19 Namjoon was chosen as leader for a multitude of reasons. He was the 1st member, he's incredibly intelligent with an IQ of 148 (genius level), & his opinions & ideas regarding music was well respected, even though he was really young. All the members love and respect him as leader, & Jungkook was so taken with Namjoon's charisma & talent that he joined tiny big hit even though companies from the Big 3 kpop companies offered him a spot as a trainee
Finally 🎉 ever time watching this video I'm crying cause their made it so good😭😭 I'm army from 2015 and their song always make my life so colorful
23:29 I mean, RM did say that all Jimin’s flips got them the attention first.
I'm glad you chose this one because it introduces you to the whole group. You have all the time in world to learn about the members and their solo stuff later on. A good video would be "This is BTS" by XCeleste. It's rather short and has voice over but you'll learn a bit more about them as a group on a personal level. And the "BTS Hardships (2013-2021)" from XCeleste as well - to see the other sude of the coin 💜
Koreans put their last names first. So RM's first name is Namjoon and his last name is Kim. In American format he would be called Namjoon Kim. Same for the others, of course!
The problem with American Hustle Life is that it's really cringe on certain points, but it's still fun to watch. The 2 first episodes are really off putting because they pulled a kidnapping prank on the guys. JK was only 16 back then. And some of them were really terrified. As well as the infamous world-class prick known as Dante - one of their supposedly "mentors" on the show. He got kick off for being uncooperative, rude and disrespectful as hell (he literally hit Jin with a plushie to shush him). Other than that, the show is fun. But there's a whole section where they told them to pick up girls on the streets to shoot an MV...by flirting with them. The guys were mostly uncomfortable doing it and most of them just tried to recruit them normally. And then they shot the MV where they were supposed to act like though guys with pretty girls - they were even more uncomfortable. The whole MV is super cringe because you can feel it's not like them at all. But this is part of what makes BTS different. They did actually learned about hip-hop from Americans and legendary artists and know about its cultural aspects
RM is indeed the leader of BTS and usually is the spokesperson in interviews - especially the US since he's the only fluent in English.
The other is more reading but Also three times better. I highly recommend watching that one..
Ten times, lol.
Rm is super intelligent with an iq of 148. He has total leader/alpha vibes. Combine that with his intelligence, is the reason why he is the leader of the group even though he is 4th oldest. You haven’t had the chance to listen to this man talk yet. He is wise beyond his years. Listening to him talk makes me think so much more about myself and what I’m doing. Then seeing the lyrics or the messages behind their songs….hits you in your soul.
There’s a reason why we call this man our President. If he lead the world, we’d be in a much better place.
Once you Jim-in..... You NEVER Jim-out. 🙃😉
Proud to be first!!! You and your son should react to Sugas solo song called "Agust D" (the music video) i promise you'll be 6 ft off your chairs 😄😄
Heck yeah we celebrate ARMY’s birthday! We even get gifts from BTS. 💜 Since you’re busy studying you should know ARMY is a short for Adorable M. C. for Youth and BTS named us.
Warren G was super sweet to them and really took them under his wing.
Just a quick note - when their real names are given here they put the family name first, then their first (or personal) name.
Also, if you want more updated information - and information that looks at the guys individually - I would recommend a video that came out in March. A Helpful Guide To BTS: The 7 Members Of Bangtan (2024 Update) by Purple Snow. It is 1 hour 28 minutes, but contains a lot of information. It is more up to date than Taylor Mari's (which is 2 years old - and was my go to recommendation); and deserves a lot more recognition than it's getting so far - because it is good. And Purple Snow is also planning to do detailed introductions for each member, with RM as her starting point.
American Hustle Life is quite a good show, but it does have it's cringy moments - especially in the first couple of episodes. Warren G was good with BTS - and RM has worked with him since. Coolio however... Lets just say he was a little hard on V. But Miss Iris more than made up for that. And they did learn a lot, made good contacts, and friends.
Okay, don't feel bad. I just turned 65. I had heard of BTS for years, but I dismissed them as some stupid boy band. Then the pandemic came and like so many others, I found them through Butter. Then I headed down the rabbit hole and never looked back! My husband doesn't "get it", but I don't care! These guys are the most incredible artists and human beings....I love them soooo much! Just went to see Suga's new movie for my birthday last week. The audience was cheering and clapping and so was I! My son said, "You must be the oldest BTS fan here!" I said, "I don't care!" And I don't! And I never will! BTS are changing the world...and music....and people's hearts with every song they perform!!!! BTW...Koreans put their surnames first. So Jimin's Korean name is Park Jimin, but his "first" name is still Jimin. Same thing with the others. BTS has three Kims, unrelated, because Kim is the most common surname in Korea.
Nope, you're not the oldest--I'm nearly 72 and have seen many older Armies online.
Right, Kim is most common surname, but look at the poor guys in TxT--3 out of the 5 of them are named Choi. There are actually only around 300 surnames in Korea, so with Kim, Park, Lee, and Choi you get up to 50% of the population.
Kim, Park, Jeon, Jung, and Min are their last names. In Korea, their last names are said first.
First Name => Stage Name and Positions
Namjoon => RM - Leader, Main Rapper
Seokjin => Jin - Oldest, Visual, Vocalist
Yoongi => Suga - Lead Rapper, Producer
Hoseok => J-Hope - Dance Leader, Main Dancer, Rapper, Sub vocalist
Jimin => Jimin - Main Dancer, Lead Vocalist
Taehyung => V - Vocalist, Dancer
Jungkook => Jungkook - Main Vocalist, Lead Dancer, Center, Maknae (youngest)
All members have contributed in songwriting, with the rappers (RM, Suga, and J-Hope) having the most songwriting and producing credits.
Also, there's a 2023 update for this video...I love that you're taking notes ;)
just a small correction (or rather an addition) jungkook is also a sub rapper
Thank you for clarifying that for him. Back when I was first starting out down the rabbit hole, that confused me too.
RM is always front and center when it comes to interviews or talking because he is the only one who was fluent in English so he would translate for the person interviewing them and his bandmates. Even though they could sing in english they couldn't hold a conversation in English. Which is why RM who was fluent in it does most of the talking and translating.
So glad you watched this. As others have said watching the Taylor guide will give you another view on who the members are vs. how they succeeded like in this one. Looking forward to more.
I don't like how he said things about dynamite. That song was never part of their plan. They were going to military but COVID happened so then we got dynamite. And they made that song (along with PTD) to cheer people up from COVID lockdown not to make profit
Taking notes, I thankfully had my nieces I called and asked questions and they helped me learn. Suga is my bias but I love something about each one.
July 9, is always a birthday celebration for ARMY and BTS. If they were not in the military they would address is with something special as they do every year. Notice RM is in the middle of ARMY.
Honestly I wouldn't be too surprised if they have prepared something for us. I mean Jin does have some broad shoulders but ... 😬 we can be a bit much to handle alone. 😂😂💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This documentary doesn’t do them justice. 40:56
I love how authentic you are in this journey of BTS and kpop. It’s similar to many of us and feels like I’m walking down memory lane through my own experience. They have soooooo much content to watch and learn, it’s really insane. I kept cracking up every time you pulled out your notes 😂
we will pushing from the Taylor Marie video, and the hardships by Xceleste 😁💜 but thank you for taking the time to watch this video.
After watching their life story, I guess now is the time to watch their hardships as well. Thank you in advance
Nope,to fast...he should watch Taylor Mari's first.
@@meimei3990 It's good to see quickly what the boys have gone through, so that he'll know why the Army is a bit extra protective. Before he reacts to more of BTS' videos, he must watch that first. And I said, "After" he watches the life story of BTS, he should watch next their hardships.
You just watched an old version of "the Most Beautiful Life Goes on A Story of BTS". It has an update until 2023. This video perfect companion is the Taylor Mari video. Even though it has a lot of english caption and long, it is not boring. You will enjoy every minute and learn a lot.
Tbh I’m impressed with how serious you were about taking notes lol. So cute lol love it
I love how you are telling us that you're taking notes as if we weren't there ourselves! We feel your pain but now we get to laugh a little cuz we know! You my friend have fallen down the rabbit hole and landed in wonderland and you're NEVER leaving! 40 year old ARMY here, been at this for 4 years, and STILL haven't caught up with everything, you can't! You can only just enjoy the ride! Stay true to yourself, keep giving authentic reactions and you'll be fine. ALSO - Dynamite was released in 2020, just cuz you asked.
The first person ever who is paying full attention to the information and literally writing it down. pausing to make sure they didn't miss anything. I'm so happy right now😄. This is the first reaction I have loved every moment of.
This gives more of the discograpy history, Taylor's focuses on the BTS members personalities and Army's passion for BTS, but the 3rd Must See is by "X Celeste's Hardships" video! The best trifecta of BTS!!!
Absolutely.
Perfectly stated.
In Korea...well in China as well... the surname comes first: So if the name is Kim Seokjin.....his name is Seokjin....and his familyname is Kim.
I think it's so cute that you're taking notes and really trying to learn about BTS. You'll get a lot of comments from ARMY "directing" you on what to watch and how to watch it. Just enjoy your journey. 😊 Looking forward to watching more with you!
I just finished watching the video!!! I really think it would be so cool if you watched all the mentioned videos in order from oldest to newest... mainly because all their songs and music videos tell a story, so by skipping ahead or something you might be missing something from the previous video!
You can find a full, almost movie like, video of the HYYH (the most beautiful moment in life) somewhere on UA-cam that goes through everything. Honestly though, its quite a sad thing to watch as a lot of the story is about pain and suffering, but theres definitely a lot to learn from it!
Have a good weekend❤
Jimin is the lead vocalist and he also sings the ad-libs and hits high notes too
This documentary is for all their achievement and their rise. This is great video to emphasize their fast rise to success despite all the negativity that blocked them. But for details of their rise, please watch the 21eps-docu-series THE RISE OF BANGTAN. You'll never regret it.
BTS Boy in Love Warren G version
ua-cam.com/video/rcAOcoM9tHQ/v-deo.html
It is cringey cause it is such a typical 2014 US style hip hop video, you know... big cars, girls, rich house 😅 very different from their usual MVs.
Warren G has a lot of respect for BTS. During their time in LA in 2014 (at American Hustle Life hiphop bootcamp - their reality show) he got them to write their own lyrics to Regulate and took them in a tour thru the town he grew up in and gave them a BBQ, he was really great with them...
He has also done a collab with RM called P.D.D. (Please don't die)
Love watching …SEVERAL Documentaries of our BTS! Thank you for learning bits and pieces about our precious Bangtan! …we don’t mind watching LONG videos concerning #BTS
The other documentary is much better
Just watch all supports army
Yes, Mr. Lonely. This is more about their accomplishments. The one WE recommend 🤭🤭 is more about their struggles, personalities, friendship, etc. This one is indeed very well done, but you'll learn more about them with the Taylor Mari video, it's a biography. Maybe if you listened a little bit more to us.... Don't worry, we'll be here with you. Anyway, thanks for trying
Yes. Taylor Mari's Introduction to BTS is much better & also Xceleste's This Is BTS & This Is ARMY are good to watch.
Yes Taylor’s is good and it gets a lot but there is still more content in X Celeste videos that Taylor doesn’t touch! So it’s beneficial to watch all of them! You miss a lot when taking notes! I noticed in the That That video you completely missed Suga jumping into the video! There’s always something going on. Don’t worry about taking notes Army will help you remember along the way!
Keep going! Really enjoying following you!
Well it depends on what you want to know about them. I will argue this is better as introduction video to BTS as it shows their history and achievements better in a chronological order. The other is better once you want to know about them more personally and want to know their personality as individuals.
Observations about RM being the natural leader are on the money. First time I saw him, they were singing Dynamite live, and I could see he was the man in charge, up on the roof of that gas station.
when you said “If THE FIRE BREAKS, he’s the person who whoop your ass” - no no not!! cause, probably it will be RM who caused the FIRE 😂😂
Me again. When reactors take notes they aren't WATCHING the video and its important to us that you watch it as well as listen to it. We're just funny that way and we can't help it. And yeah I can speak for all of us on this because we ARMYs share a brain...lol.
In his notes...he needs to put BTS instead of constantly calling them BTC 😤
I burst out laughing when you said “ there are rules you need to follow “, hilarious! American Hustle Life was very good experience for them. Warren G was very good to them. Coolio was a bit harsh with V at their first meeting but it was teach him and the rest of the members to take this opportunity seriously. The first night the TAH team pranked them and scared the hell out of them. Also one guy from TAH was rude and almost hit Jin and he was removed from further working with them. The BTS members did very well, worked very hard and learned a lot and the team of TAH told them at the end that they were the best they ever worked with.
You got me when you validated my feelings for jimin ❤ just subscribed
YES, I SAY WATCH AMERICAN HUSTLE LIFE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A COUPLE OF EPISODES IT IS A REALLY GOOD REALITY SERIES. Excuse the caps.😊
Also dark and wild album is a banger. You should do a album review for that one. The thing is the b-sides slap! To hear some great songs, you really should do an album review, especially on the first 3 or 4. 💜
Hey fellow Gen X parent! I love how you put on your glasses, got your notebook and pen and started taking down notes! Haha! Something about writing stuff down that helps your remember right? 😁 loving your reactions. ARMY mom here since 2020 💜
I genuinely liked watching you take notes! Also, you're right RM taked the elad in talkshows and interviews because he's the leader, and also the only member fluent in english
Yes! It's called The Jimin Effect. It works on all! He has the ability to look through the camera and into your soul. I am a 55 year old ARMY. They are my anti-depressants. My mom was dying of cancer and also an ARMY. My last words to her were " It's okay Mom, Ypu have important businesu. " Orher ARMYS will understand. As you go through the rabbit hole, you're going to understand. Watch their TV show Run BTS. I even have a tattoo that my mom designed in her handwriting. Enjoy Watching your reaction.
I have been lucky enough to see them 9 times at this point in 4 different states (Illinois, New York, LA and Las Vegas. That says something about their power. I've traveled to see them whenever I have had the funds to do so. If I had the funds, I would have been to more. While every show on an individual tour may have the same (sometimes just similar) set lists, the shows are each unique and crowd involved. I think I have cried at every single live performance of theirs, solely for their emotional impact. 💜 Borahae.
Literally taking notes... so relatable😅

For more information on bts albums and songs in chapter 1, please refer to this video by boracity magazine (she is really critical and objective, always brings up good arguments so I love her videos a lot): ua-cam.com/video/JEM5rRjq7kc/v-deo.html
I remember BTS has around 300 songs, so please don't just listen to the title tracks but the FULL ALBUMS, their other b-sides are really good and are what set them apart from other k-pop groups with their flawless discography.
Alongside group music activities, the vocal line released free solo singles on different occasions, and the rapline also released solo mixtapes in chapter 1, which received high critical acclaims from different institutions, proved their talent in producing and song-writing:
- RM - by RM (2014)
- Agust D - by AgustD/Suga (2016)
- Mono - by RM (2018)
- Hope World - by j-hope (2018)
- D-2 - by AgustD/Suga (2020)
As for chapter 2 (start when the members started serving mandatory military service in korea in 2022), they had multiple solo projects by each member, but the main ones are the albums (except Jin with his single):
- Jack in the Box - by J-hope (2022)
- The Astronaut - by Jin (single, 2022)
- Indigo - by RM (2022, my fav)
- Face - by Jimin (2023)
- D-day - by AgustD/Suga (2023)
- LayoVer - by V (2023)
- Golden - by Jungkook (2023)
- Hope on the Street - by j-hope (2024)
Please always be reminded that BTS has A LOT OF SONGS in different genres, in group, solo and produced by them or features with other artists so if you are serious about getting to know them, please listen to those. They are the hearts of BTS and that's why they are so loved by diverse audience and have loyal fandom. Also, they are masters in lyricism (esp RM) so please look up for translations and explanation by Korean (I highly recommend doolset, she's very well-versed in different pieces of media, Eastern and Western (doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/) and DKDKTV (though they only did videos on some songs like Baepsae, Spine Breaker, Ddaeng,...).
As for the Bangtan Universe (BU), which is kinda like Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) that is very complicated and spread throughout different BTS content for folks who love solving puzzles. I'm not good at explaining it so you can try look into it yourself by going through BTS music chronologically, or if you are unable to solve (like me lol cuz I'm dumb), you can look into summary video by XCeleste (ua-cam.com/video/2-DEu3ZJtEU/v-deo.html).
They also have reality shows produced by their team if you would like a light-hearted, fun times called Run BTS and other shows like Bon Voyage, In The Soop followed them during their staycation. This is family-friendly, bonding content during meal time in korea, that's why korean family/public of all ages adore them so much. You can also watch them with your son and family to have a laugh and learn about the individual members more, they're genuinely hilarious.
Whew, that's a long one. Hope you read to this point. I'm not a native English speaker so please forgive me if I make any mistakes. If you would like to know more, I can dm you ☺💜. Thank you for your reaction!
I also LOVEEEE that you’re taking notes!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜 Welcome to the ARMY!!!
When you hit thst dad joke during Kim Seokjin's intro - do you known that he is infamous for his notorious slew of dad jokes? 😂 it's destiny that you learned about Worlwide Handsome Jin
You should watch American Hustle Life which the narrator referred to as cringe. The first episode is difficult to watch but stick with it. It's important to remember that it is a reality show and if there isn't drama the producers will create drama. The guys ended up learning a lot and were thankful for the opportunity. As a side note, you will see how tired the guys are in the show and that's because they were recording their Dark & Wild album while shooting the reality show in LA. Just another testament to how hard they work.
Um one thing...in Asian countries such as Korean, males family names are always spoken first. Park Jimin would be called Jimin Park in the U.S.
I could write a lengthy book about these men, most O.G. ARMY could, so if you have questions just ask.
One of the most entertaining reactions I've watched, ever! Welcome to the purple world. Oh, so much is in for you.
RM is the official Leader of the group. The group was literally built around him as the leader from the beginning. He interfaces with the public and between the company and the guys, as well as mediates disputes between the guys. The rappers are definitely the leaders together. j-hope is the dance leader and RM calls j-hope the "real" leader, the behind-the-scenes leader and emotional center of BTS. All of them were crying when they said goodbye to j-hope when he went to do his military service. Suga is the main producer in the group. Between the 3 of them they have released 9 of the 12 solo albums of the members (3 each.) All of them were signed around the same time.
Loved this reaction, thank you 💜
RM is the leader and back then RM was the one who knew how to speak english.
It’s a bit a long and does have a lot of subtitles, but you should really watch Taylor Mari’s A Guide to BTS Members. This video mostly delves into BTS’ achievements, whereas Taylor’s video introduces each member individually and ARMY a bit more. I think the “The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A story of BTS” and Taylor’s video go hand in hand.
Also, welcome to the fandom, ARMY. 😊
They lied to you. The Taylor Mari (lenghty) one is the best one and we never get tired of seeing it. We actually want to watch it all the way through with new viewers.
There is an updated (2023) version of this video...Taylor Mari's introduction to BTS is more focused on each member.. I suggest you watch it as well. 💜
