Thank you guys watching our reaction ! If you liked what you saw and wanna support us why not buy us a coffee with the link in the description. It goes a looong way in helping keep this channel running and us also send us a song recommendation on there and we will guarantee to react to it. Also stream our music it really helps us out a lot as we are musicians ourselves trying to make it out here much love and see you soon! 💜
They never sold any song that was not an official release the ones they sampled were for free on SoundCloud. I recommend the rise of bangtan series created by Army that starts from before they debut. It will also help explain how the music industry works in korea. It is 21 chapters. The best documentary on them since it uses BTS own vlogs and videos to tell their story. They have been around over a decade now, so it would be impossible to learn all in one documentary.
I wouldn't say I like how this guy accuses BTS of stealing music samples. The way he comes across just annoys me. They just want to build their channel and for views.
The samples they used were not used in songs which they sold - they released them for free on Soundcloud. Any samples they used in sold songs were credited and paid for For example, both RM ('RM') and SUGA's ('Agust D') first mixtapes used samples and were released for free on Soundcloud. 'Agust D' was added years later on Spotify because they got the rights for his samples. 'RM' is still not available though. Their song 'Born Singer' - which is an old adaptation from 'Born Sinner' - only got the rights recently and got released on 'Proof'. Hobi also paid graciously for the rights of 'Chicken Noodle Soup', credited the original artist and referenced them in the song. They have a lot of respect for what they use K-pop groups tend to use samples or inspiration which they never pay for or credit at all but BTS always did. They never appropriate what they use and always pay respect to their inspirations
Boracity Magazine channel is the BEST! Her videos about BTS are amazing. You should scroll through her videos. All her videos are about BTS and BTS only. She is a trusted ARMY resource. 💜
Well, a hip hop group is typically more about artistic expression within the hip hop culture, while a hip hop idol group focuses more on entertainment, image, and mass appeal, often blending elements of pop, etc., and polished performances. However, we know that BTS has significant creative control over their music, lyrics, and themes. This sets them apart from other idol groups, where creative control is more limited or in some cases nonexistent. Um, you should also note that a hip hop group and a hip hop idol group differ primarily in the context, culture, and function of the groups. Basically in South Korea, the idol group structure is a system where members were recruited, trained, and debuted as idols. So the members undergo rigorous training in dancing, singing, and other performance skills.
As far as I know they have never released a Halloween song, what they have released are Halloween dance practices where they do their choreography in costumes. There are 3 Halloween dance practices and they are pure chaos. Gogo, 21st Century Girl, and War of Hormone. Even better than these Halloween dance practices are the fan made videos “What you might have missed in the Gogo/War of Hormone/20th Century Girl dance practices” which zooms in on funny things going on in the background and adds sound effects and hilarious captions. Another funny video like this is “What you might have missed in the Butter Remix” videos highly recommend all of these if you are having a bad day. They will instantly cheer you up.
In Burn the Stage, BTS revealed that J-Hope left the group prior to debut. He came back he said because he believed in the other members. J Hope also received a lot of hate early on for his looks and talent, which is crazy because he is so talented and has always been a very nice looking guy.
So "idol" as pertains to KPop is a graduate of an idol training system, with debut serving as graduation. As opposed to independent or underground artists, idols go through extensive training in entertainment skills: it includes music, dance, acting, modelling, casting, anything you can think of, but also physical conditioning, media training, public speaking and foreign languages. The extent and quality of training varies across agencies. Idols also exist largely in a bootcamp situation, living in dorms and having tightly managed schedules and monthly exams/showcases to rate their progress in training. Kind of a mix of army bootcamp and teen athletes training. In this aspect, like many others, BTS is unlike other KPop idols significantly. BigHit wasn't and idol agency, they didn't have a training program, they had to create one after signing RM, and they were making it up as they went along on a limited budget. BigHit was more of a production and recording studio, they didn't have their own developing artists before. So BTS idol training was veeeery loosey goosey compared to established agencies and heavily focused on music production and recording, and live performances, something the existing BigHit crew already were doing. As for early BTS songs that sampled big western hits, they weren't "released" commercially. They were uploaded on soundcloud and other platforms for free, they're not monetised therefore don't need to be "licensed", they fall under fair use because BTS doesn't actually make money off of it. However some of them were later released on DSPs after obtaining license from labels, like "Born Singer" that sampled J. Cole's "Born Sinner".
Jhope left for a moment cause he said he felt like he wouldn't fit in with the group,but came back because he trusts the guys and the company. BTS without 7 won't ever sound right💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Copyright laws were a lot more lax back then too. I remember cover/parody songs of popular songs all over UA-cam back in the earlier days of UA-cam. BTS were also very small back then in the global sense. Also if there was a problem with those big labels, then those videos would've been blocked/restricted by now, so there must've been some sort of clearance as they got bigger or it wasn't an issue to begin with.
It wasn't an issue, because they were never released as a mean to gain money. Every song with samples that was used as a mean to gain money was a cleared sample, meaning they paid for the copyright rights.
Most ARMY know j-hope left (and that the line up was all switched around before debut), but there is SO much backstory to them. I mean....SO much. That's why the guides are helpful and why they have to keep updating with current stuff. The original go-to Guide to BTS that was recommended like five or six years ago was put out the the UA-camr "Suga and Spice." That also has info that sometimes gets lost in the updates.
Boracity makes great video essays.. definitely opinionated but intelligent,well researched and super informative… Others have mentioned rise of bangtan which goes a long way to explain the K-pop industry as well as BTS’ journey… and is beautifully edited by the creator Aneesa… it covers the history and development of K-pop which is very illuminating.. Korea is historically Neo Confucianist and Buddhist but there are about 14.5 million Christian’s and Christmas is celebrated but not focused on gift giving.. it is a national holiday…
Haters were hating on JHope about his looks for the standard for idols. But the group brothers fought for him to comeback. Even Jimin was almost released from the group. The other music board members and the group themselves again fought him.
The hate on Hobi's looks was after debut around 2014 and had nothing to do with him wanting to leave. He left the group before debut because he wasn't sure they would debut and he thought about his future in the music industry and if he should go to a different label with more resources. He talks about it in their documentary BTS Monuments Beyond the Star.
From what I understand (from talking with a couple of Koreans), the secular part of Christmas is more of a couples or dating holiday. A couple may exchange gifts, usually one and something simple. It is a holiday where people get off work. Friends may go out shopping or go to a restaurant. Family may get together, but it is not the big family holiday we think of here in North America, where extended family may travel distances to get together.
8 minutes in and I will answer to first questions: I knew most of those things (minus some names of the people involved and some songs). The main storyline of how BTS started is well known. Idol is the name korean industry gives to celebrities in the kpop scene (group or solo act). People just call them Idols instead of popstars/celebrities/whatever 🤷🏻♀️
idols are what we call kpop in the west, in Korea, the kpop industry is called the idol industry, which is separated with the other types of music in Korea (idol music came from the Japanese idol industry) the idol industry has a lot of history and culture so it is hard to give a distinct definition, you can say there are certain aesthetics(look), like makeup, hairstyles, maybe outfits, but there isn't a certain genre/sound of music. I would say it has more to do with the promotion style and the music companies/agencies - there are kpop music shows and there are non kpop music shows, they go on different shows depending if they are idols or not - artists in kpop usually start younger and usually starts as a group - there are artists that overlap kpop and non kpop industries, but it's rare (rock, hip hop, pop industries can have some intersections)
I started listening to BTS like 3 years ago, and I've spent SOO MUCH time learning things - and there's still so much I don't know, that I haven't heard/watched! 😂 Some say that you can still be surprised after 10 years... 😂
Wait till you see the rise of bangtan series there are 21 episodes and it goes through the whole training process and debut part as well it truly is such an amazing series.
I believe they can remake songs without permission if they are unofficial and won't be sold or make any money. They were doing these songs to get their voices out there, not for financial purposes. I believe this to be true because of what I read about a later song that J-Hope remade several years later...Chicken Noodle Soup. He paid the artist 2.7 million dollars for the rights to the song. What I read was he did this because he thought it was the right thing to do for the creator and he was in a financial position to do so. The article said he didn't NEED to pay for the song because it was a free release as a gift to the fans on Soundcloud and he wouldn't be making any financial gain from it. Not only did he pay for the song, he also paid to have an MV made of the song and credited every backup dancer in the credits at the end.
I'll answer some of your questions. Yes, while falling down the BTS rabbit hole, we search and research everything about BTS. Second, samples are used but never released/sold for profit. They were mostly released on SoundCloud. Major records are of course legally acquired for them to use. Gosh, even Disney allowed them to dub for Zootopia in Korean. Third, J-Hope did leave but was convinced by the members to go back to the company. The tears JK spilt 😄 when J-Hope left...
13:33 In my understanding, thse songs were unofficial meaning they didn't earn anything. Its like someone releasing a song they covered on youtube and SoundCloud.
Yes, they kind of have a Thanksgiving celebration (Chuseok), they celebrate Halloween and of course Christmas. I think this 2 celebratiosn are recent (I think 2nd World War left an impact on Korean recent culture).
Their agency would get permission if they were going to use it. These were like covers posted on SoundCloud with their own lyrics. Big Hit is always really good about being official about what they do. Also, if you really like this video, you should eventually check out more of Boracity Magazine's videos. She covers so much information and her channel is mostly focused on BTS. I look forward to more of you videos.
so the unofficial predebut songs were all released on soundcloud which is free so there are no copyrights issues because if you post a song there, you can't gain money from it. later on some of those songs, for example born singer (which samples born sinner by J Cole) was given the green light to be released in streaming platforms in 2022
Btw, BTS have indeed a BTS Universe or Bangtan Universe or BU. It is interconnected story line in their MVs from I Need U and they are hinting of something that might come up related to it on the 10th anniv of their album The Most Besutiful Moment in Life (HYYH) next year.
I didn't knw the details like the names of the prototype groups, but the rest, I knew. Jk begged jhope to come back and RM told bighit they would never make it without jhope
They do celebrate Christmas in South Korea but a bit differently than in the West. Christmas originally was Christian celebration (born of Jesus, etc) which doesn't have the same meaning in the East where people mostly have different religion. Christmas for us is mostly about family and people coming together, in Korea Christmas is more like Valentine's Day in the West, it is a celebration of couples, not families.
Yes, Christmas is a big deal in S. Korea. Christianity and Buddhism are basically split as far as practiced religions, by my understanding...but also, Christmas is commercialized just like it is in the west. (Maybe not to the same extent? I honestly don't know, but I do know I see Christmas decorations and scenes a lot in BTS content and in K-dramas.)
I KNEW ABOUT IT BECAUSE IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BTS AS A NEW FAN YOU NEED TO FOLLOW BORA CITY WHICH IS WHO YOU NOW LISTENING TO I AM A FOLLOWER OF HER AS A NEW ARMY AND SHE CAN GIVE YOU INFORMATION EVEN IN THE WESTERN WORLD INSITE TO THINGS WE NEVER UNDERSTAND AND KNOW SO I KNEW ABOUT THIS THEIR IS A LOT OF THINGS YOU CAN LEARN FROM BORA CITY. NO CAP.
Korean idol groups are a distinct sub group of Korean music others being things like rock, trot, etc. It is dominant in the music scene because of the proliferation of many singing/ performances competitions. There is not just one main one like say American idol. BTS gas significantly impacted on this blowing wide open what is means to be an idol group. The most important point of difference being idols were predominantly performers of others music. Whereas the founding members coming from a rap background and Suga already producing before joining BTS in Daegu where heavily involved in both writting and production. The company involved as quality control and giving experienced industry polish to their songs that made the cut.
Thanks! Boracity (purple city) prepared a lot of good videos. I don't know if somebody told you about a docuseries called Rise of Bangtan... it's a must!! I hope you watch all the episodes because they are very interesting. 😊
I believe that around 30 percent of the Korean population is Christian. Christmas is a national holiday in Korea so most have the day off but not a traditional holiday like Seollal or Chuseok.
I knew very little about BTS before BTS we know today,knew it was all that process tho. About Jhope leaving at one point I knew, it is quite known as they talk about it in one video. But that was before BTS debuted, left and came back... So people didn't knew BTS without Jhope As for Idol= pop star, more or less, yes with certain image, esthetic..
It’s disappointing that she did these videos after four members released albums but two were working on their albums and they aren’t included here. There are other big videos she did in that timeline, too. I LOVE Boracity Magazine, so don’t get me wrong. I just wish she delayed a few months, since it was known that V and JK’s albums in the works and would be released.
None of the member's projects for chapter 2 were included in this introduction. What are you talking abt? She even made it a point to clarify she was not gonna touch any of the chapter 2 projects bc they were still on going and bc chapter 1 was already extensive enough

The MCU reference you made is so fitting - BTS are the Avengers of the pop world :)
ARMY knows Jhope left but RM and the team talked him into staying
It’s mentioned in several documentaries as well as one of their group dinners.
So "idol" as pertains to KPop is a graduate of an idol training system, with debut serving as graduation.

A true Armys try to dig in and find every detail of bangtan 💜
Truth! The more we learn the more about them, the more we love them and want to learn more about them.
Jhope left for a moment cause he said he felt like he wouldn't fit in with the group,but came back because he trusts the guys and the company. BTS without 7 won't ever sound right💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

12:37 hello millions of covers exist on UA-cam also she said 6 MONTHS BEFORE DEBUT. They were NOBODIES
Haters were hating on JHope about his looks for the standard for idols. But the group brothers fought for him to comeback. Even Jimin was almost released from the group. The other music board members and the group themselves again fought him.
It breaks my heart to think that they were emotionally scarred by all of that.
The hate on Hobi's looks was after debut around 2014 and had nothing to do with him wanting to leave.

Idol = Artist
I have got the know all of this over the 5 first years of being a fan of bts in bits and pieces. I'm glad someone put it all together.
I thought I knew A LOT about BTS but I definitely learned things from this. I’m not sure why I haven’t seen this before because I love her videos.

I knew since before debut, but was not army till 2015
If they had released songs for profit that would be a problem, but these were free covers and/or samples.
Btw, BTS have indeed a BTS Universe or Bangtan Universe or BU. It is interconnected story line in their MVs from I Need U and they are hinting of something that might come up related to it on the 10th anniv of their album The Most Besutiful Moment in Life (HYYH) next year.
Please react to "The rise of Bangtan", there are many chapters but I assure you it is worth it. Also ARMY loves this type of content
I've known all this for years ever since they auditioned and pre debut days.
It's true, Jhope left but he came back because JK convinced him and RM convinced Big Hit to let Jhope come back.
So happy you are doing a deep dive... BTS forever 💜♾️💟💜✌️🇮🇪
I learn something new each time I see a documentary about BTS..so much info..
I know everything about BTS
I’m an army for almost 10 years now
I even know the predebut stages etc
Yes they do Christmas Halloween 🎃 also
Christianity is the #1 religion in SK, so many Koreans recognize and celebrate Christmas. I think it's also a national holiday.
I didn't knw the details like the names of the prototype groups, but the rest, I knew. Jk begged jhope to come back and RM told bighit they would never make it without jhope
Yes they celebrate Christmas. Most of this stuff I knew but I still learned a few things.
The samples are free!
I knew about half of the trainees that did stay at bh after dropping out of auditions to stay as producers/songwriters

I knew very little about BTS before BTS we know today,knew it was all that process tho.
About Jhope leaving at one point I knew, it is quite known as they talk about it in one video. But that was before BTS debuted, left and came back... So people didn't knew BTS without Jhope
As for Idol= pop star, more or less, yes with certain image, esthetic..
Great reaction ! 😊
Up to the more boracity magzine vids
K Pop groups are called idols in Korea.
Jhope thought of leaving cuz of the bullies and antis
You guys still have doubts about BTS, by asking stupid question about the right to their music.
cool
You guys from Calgary? Am currently watching this on tv😅
Please react to The Rise of Bangtan❤
Ayyyy lets gooo
please keep reacting to Boracity magazine, her videos are very informative 😉
There are more Christians per capita in Korea than the US (don't know Canada statistics, sorry).

Two clueless😂😂😂
It’s disappointing that she did these videos after four members released albums but two were working on their albums and they aren’t included here. There are other big videos she did in that timeline, too. I LOVE Boracity Magazine, so don’t get me wrong. I just wish she delayed a few months, since it was known that V and JK’s albums in the works and would be released.
None of the member's projects for chapter 2 were included in this introduction. What are you talking abt? She even made it a point to clarify she was not gonna touch any of the chapter 2 projects bc they were still on going and bc chapter 1 was already extensive enough
She says in the vid that chapter 2 is still ongoing so she wont touch or explore chapter 2 for now.
It's a video about Chapter 1.
ALL releases since Chapter 2 (military era) aren't included!
8:00 .....I've been Army for 7 yrs and didn't know ALL that!
