Stop with this clickbait "kpop hater" headline. Just react to the boys' content with sincerity. We, ARMY, love seeing people react to BTS with genuine interest in getting to know them and discovering how amazing they are. We will happily support your sincere journey in discovering them.
I am a boy and I am 24 years old. Six years ago, when I was depressed, when I had three unsuccessful suicide attempts, I met BTS. In short, they brought my life back to me. Instead of crying at night and thinking about suicide, I spent my time watching BTS and just laughing. Now I have been living in South Korea for five years and thanks to BTS, almost all my dreams It is possible and now I only wish to come to the concert that I will 100% go to the concert of these seven angels in 2026.
Wow your story is really touching! I'm glad that you're still with us and yes Bts have that power to save people life even though they're not even aware of it! They are true angels 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I don't know you but I'm so happy you're still with us today. So glad BTS helped you as they helped so many people, me included. When I first heard of them, I was so disconnected to my emotions I couldn't even feel physical pain to a certain degree. Just like you, BTS brought life back to me, they helped me understand that having emotions was not a bad thing and that I could start dreaming again. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
There are 3 rappers and 4 vocalists in BTS. They all have solo albums as well and have over a decade of music. They do all kinds of genres and never sound the same. They are even better live.
If you go down the rabbit hole of Kpop, you won't regret. BTS literally got me through some really tough times. I'm 63 years old. NEVER would have imagined it!
I am 63 too. I used to listen to other Korean singers, but when I had a really hard time, I found BTS and I was stuck. Nothing is the same for me anymore
Canadian Asian almost on my 50 grow up with all asian music and drama especially Korean but never like it ,until i fall for BTS ..no one really not no ones are like them 🥰🥰🥰
Yes me too. i can't move on to other group. 😅. i heard them but I can't into all of the other song. But, I love every single of BTS song. Even I cannot sing the right word. haha.. 🤣
@@taejinnied BTS is not the only group I'm into, personally, I'm also a big fan of Stray Kids and Ateez, but BTS is the only group that resonate with me to the point of getting a tattoo out of three of their songs. They are and always will be THE group of my life, THE group that saved me ! ^^
BTS started as a hip hop group when they debuted in 2013. Although they started as hip hop group, their discography is very diverse. There are 7 members in BTS ; 3 rappers and 4 vocalists. Butter is the 2nd song of their English trilogy released during the pandemic. It's happy poppy tune to cheer up people. I think butter still hold the record for most views in 24 hrs (108M). Boy with luv is considered bubblegum pop. Very colourful indeed. It served as a parallel track of their earlier song, boy in love. There's another song that is super colourful, idol. Despite all the colours, idol is full of cultural references and required an explanation video. Mic drop is a diss track. BTS came from a small agency and received a lot of hate till this day. The original version in full korean does not have mv. If you like edm, the only song that i could think of from BTS is best of me and so what (my mind not really working right now). There's no mv for both songs but you can find the live versions with english subs. If you like dark ecstatic, try black swan, fake love, blood, sweat and tears or house of cards. When i said dark, i don't mean just appearance. If you like intense choreo, try on kinetic manifesto or run bts (not run, that's another song). Run bts does not have mv but the dance practice is as good as mv. BTS is not active as a group currently due to mandatory military service. Only 2 of their members have completed their service. The rest will be discharged June2025. Although they are not active as a group, they still continue to release solo contents (some are pre recorded). You can checkout some of their latest solo work; RM (lost), Jin (running wild), Suga@AgustD (haegeum), J-hope(neuron), Jimin(who), V(fri(end)s) and Jungkook(standing next to you). Have fun! ☺
Nice for you that someone introduced you to BTS. They are the biggest band in the world, and not really a pop band, that is just US media trying to put music in boxes. They started as a hip hop group but have grown and expanded to cover many genres. There are 3 excellent rappers and 4 vocalists. You might enjoy On Kinetic Manifesto, Black Swan, Fake Love, Hip Hop Lover, just for starters.
Dude dude DUUUUUUDE! You don't start with Butter, Boy With Luv, or Dynamite. That's like someone going "I think I'll check out the Beatles!" but then you start with "Octopuses Garden." No shade to Ringo, but you would have a skewed view of the Beatles if that's your first impression. Same with this. Although "Boy With Luv" is slightly more on target. Still you wanna start with something like "Black Swan" or "Spring Day." Hell, start with any of the cyphers if you're more interested in the rap line. You can get into vocal line later. There's as many BTS songs as there are episodes of One Piece so pick an era or a subset and pace yourself. You might as well call off work for the next week right now. Godspeed.
@@LostNTranslationsI think it also depends on what the person's preferences are - because Butter, Dynamite, Cyphers, etc wouldn't have pulled me in either...
Those 3 are imo among the best to introduce many newbies to tho. And it's exactly bcs they're poppy; imo most ppl like that type of music and at least with BTS, it was proven. If not, Boy With Luv wouldn't have given them a #8 on the BB Hot100 (BWL I can concede it may have been mostly ARMYs' efforts), and later on Dynamite and Butter gave them 2 consecutive #1's (but these 2 def had newbies interested), and if we keep going, so did Permission to Dance. They're not my favorites among BTS's catalog tbh BUT I love those songs bcs they're cheerful. My mom was not an ARMY nor was she interested in them (she's still like a casual but dedicated fan when she randomly sees them on the news and gets the spotify music updates), but she LOVED Dynamite. It was playing every time I was with her. So I don't think they're bad for newbies, they're like an appetizer or a bait for ppl lol. They think they know what to expect out of BTS with those songs but they're dead wrong, but I DO think BTS recs should be more based on the newbies' music tastes.
BTS is technically a K-pop group (mostly because they were formed through the K-pop Trainee System) but they go way beyond that - they are global artists that experiment a lot with their sound. They're considered a pop group - even a K-pop group specifically - but they do a lot of different genres. They're the biggest group in the world and are competing with the biggest Western artists without any industry support whether from the K-pop Industry or the American Industry. They produce, write and compose and are heavily involved in their career at all levels. BTS are living legends 💜 Each member has a successful solo career with very different styles. They're on hiatus until June 2025 to complete their mandatory military service and take the time to focus on their solo career. Jin - the oldest - just released his debut album 'Happy' and V will be releasing a Christmas duet of Bing Crosby's 'White Christmas' on December 6th They debuted as BTS in 2013 in an almost bankrupt label and rose to the top through hard work They have 3 rappers and 4 vocalists. 2 of their rappers (RM, the leader, and SUGA aka Agust D) were underground rappers before the group was formed and the other one (j-hope) was a rather well-known street dancer who won competitions at national level. The vocalists (Jin, Jimin, V and Jungkook) all have unique voices with different abilities which complement each other very well. Their voices are all wonderful and have impressive technique. Jimin was also a top student in contemporary dance before joining BTS They have exceptional teamwork and consider each other family They write meaningful lyrics and love to convey a message through their art. They really are passionate artists and are genuinely wonderful humans 💜
Kpop is not really a genre-- it is a mix of genres. You might find 3 to 5 diff genres in one song. Seriously. It can be quite addictive. Appreciate your honest reaction.
There are artists classes as "k-pop" but are more like rock, or jazz... and like you said - they mix multiple genres into one song. The term is more used for any music from S. Korea then an actual music genre, it seems... 💜
I'm 55 who is into heavy metal, heavy rock. You could image my surprise when I took to BTS like a duck to water. Love these guys and only a little while to go before they are all together again! OT7 Always
Thanks for your reaction. The group had its beginnings being a more hip hop group... over time it diversified handling genres such as: R&B, Pop, EDM, Rock, Jazz. There are a rap sub unit within the group and a vocal sub unit where the rappers have few songs by themselves and the same with vocal line... But most of their songs as a complete group combines rap and vocals in Korean with a little of english They have 3 english songs that are very poppy and cheerfull becaused were released during the pandemic because they wanted to cheer up their fans during that time. Those songs were composed by American artists although the BTS rap line did write their part of the song. In most of the group's songs the 3 rappers are very involved BTS albums have a sequence or a chronology of topics to deal with... Fans classify BTS's discography as eras (generally made up of album trilogies). Among the concepts they have dealt with aspects of human psychology. This song belongs to the album "Map of the Soul"... Which comes after the "Love yourself" Era The meaning of the concept of the album "Map of the Soul" has to do with four versions related to analytical psychology of the book "The map of the soul according to Jung": Persona, Anima, Self and Shadow. Remembering that Jung was one of the most popular psychoanalysts of the 20th century and founder of depth psychology, which is mainly based on what exists between consciousness and the unconscious Without going into so much detail about these 4 aspects of being according to Jung... The Anima is the feminine aspect present in the collective unconscious of men and the Animus is the masculine aspect present in the collective unconscious of women. In other words, we all have feminine and masculine energy, although one prevails over the other in each individual So in this video the feminine energy present in the members is exalted because they have already connected with their Anima and that is why they are "boys with love".. they feel complete. Remember that in general in many cultures men are expected to project a strong, masculine image, which is a sign of weakness to show emotions, especially love or crying, which are "more feminine" aspects. So these BTS albums seek to generate a journey towards the encounter with ourselves and the acceptance of the "I" among them the integration of our polarity, be it feminine or masculine... and for this reason a lot of vibrant tone is used in this video and shades of pink in the color palette of the video BTS is quite a versatile group within K-pop and they are not afraid to explore and play with different genres and concepts in their songs and videos and that is why you will see a bit of everything in their music styles and the image they project Sorry for the length, but I know that here in the West many men clash a bit with the "soft" and "feminine" image that male K-pop artists have, you just have to understand that it is a culture that in general celebrates beauty more, elegance and versatility... which accepts slightly androgynous looks that are not shocking to them, since in fact the public demands changes in style (in hair color and outfits) the use of accessories such as bracelets, necklaces, earrings. .. Asian fans expect the artist to be a bit of a chameleon according to the concepts they want to convey with their albums Also, as you have already seen, BTS changes a lot in style from one video to another: we have seen them with a casual style, a more pop style, Hip Hop, Emo and even with Latin vibes, etc Greetings from México 💜
thanks ! ive read everything ... but i wont lay down a huge commment on my own haha ! i agree with you and i also found out few new things .. thanks for that ! greetings from ireland !
I have no idea why so many dislikes since you're honest but kind and respectful. Maybe it's just because people are tired of the "K-pop hater" label in the titles, IDK. K-pop is more of an industry than a genre of m,usic and BTS were the underdogs and the disturbers of the status quo since their very humble beginnings. They are phenomenal live and their vast discography encompasses many genres. They often touch on some serious topics and managed to ruffle many feathers, in the industry and even the politics. They are not your typical boy band in the Western sense - they call the shots in their own career and make their own music, their label (also Korean musi in general, entertainment and even tourism) stands on their shoulders so to speak. They are also the kindest and funniest people with no f*cks to give. PS. Being well-groomed and stylish is a Korean thing, especially visible in entertainment, but Korean men in general don't fall far from that - especially in the big cities.
ive got 2k likes and onle a few dislikes .. i can actually say im doing good .. haha ! maybe it was because of the title like you said .. but ive changed it .. its just a search term i didnt think its ofensive ,
@@VictorNightroad Huh, my dislike extension must have gone crazy, because now it shows the correct amount - it showed much more before. Nah, it's not offensive, just the kind of reactors who use it are often either a-holes or just baiting people because they know BTS gets views. I assure you, you don't wanna be associated with those clowns since you clearly had genuinely no idea who they are.Your comments had really made me chuckle. With BTS you never know what you're gonna get genre-wise, we often say that they are the genre. Since they are fulfilling their mandatory military duties (two of the members are done with it now), they also do solo work before they reunite and they've added even more flavors to their music and it will be interesting to see what they'll do next.
You will always be surprised by a BTS song. Two of the members write and produce songs for other groups and all have a hand in the lyrics, music, and choreography. They also have solo careers, so when they come together they always have fresh ideas. And their genre is BTS.
Oh I love seeing newbies go down the BTS rabbit hole. Please watch the guide to bangtan 7 by Taylor Mari and you'll see just why they're so huge and how talented they are. You'll particularly like the rap line RM, Suga (Agust D), J-Hope. Look at their solo stuff.
There are also four AMAZING vocalist. One of them has the fastest song in history to get 1 Billion streams. He has 3 songs with over 1 Billion streams. Another has the fastest song by a soloist (no feature guest on song) to get 1 Billion streams. He has 2 songs with 1 Billion. Another one has a song that is really close to 1 Billion streams (955million). And the last one just released his very first album last week. Their names are (in order stated above): Jung Kook, Jimin, V and Jin. The point is that all seven members are extremely talented and successful on their own and come together to form this amazing group.
Welcome to BTS! I hope you choose to go further down the BTS rabbit hole. As a dedicated ARMY (name of BTS fandom), I can tell you that this group of insanely talented guys never disappoint. 💜
This is such a refreshing reaction. I love the accent. I was a kpop hater before too, but they eventually won me over. Mic Drop was also my firat fave song😊
Wait till you hear them live its absolutely insane you would not believe how incredible they are i love it. Ive seen them in concert since 2013 and 2014 till 2023 its been incredibly memorable for me and several Army's. Army is bts Fandoms name.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
10:48 "everything is so colorful, so flower power" then suga pops right away to change his perception of the song kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk perfect timing great reaction btw, very honest and respectful in your own way, i love seeing people with different taste/backgrounds and zero knowledge tapping in bts' world, there's so much to discover, it's mind-blowing. i wish i could meet them for the first time again too :')
They are very versatile in what they do. Whether it's their musical style or genre, group or individual styles, etc...they have so much to offer. Their production quality is chef's kiss. These guys put blood, sweat & tears into everything they do. They have many eras since their debut so you might find something you might like. They're like ART overall...very subjective so you don't have to like it. Appreciation for the arts go a very long way. Check out their dance practices or live performances when you get a chance. You can also check out their solo projects to see which member musical styles resonate with you. Maybe Hobi at Lollapalooza?
Hi! Welcome to BTS. K-pop is not a genre, but an industry, and, nowadays, BTS is beyond it. You'll see they have a huge discography (not even a single bad song) in very different genres and styles. Most of their songs are deep and meaningful. They have three songs in English (Butter is one of them). Those songs were made during the pandemic to bring a bit of joy to the world. The fandom (A.R.M.Y) is for boys, girls, women, and men, regardless of age, genre, race, religion, etc. (I'm 67 years old). I hope you decide to dig into this awesome rabbit hole!! I'm sure you'll love it!
they do japanese songs too.. it's safe to say that they have their own genre like they do pop, rock, r&b, neo soul, jazz etc etc etc.. all of the members have different style in music so when they come together it's masterpiece.. you can see the diversity in their solo career
Hi Victor!! I am from California USA Welcome to the BTS rabbit hole! These guys are amazing They are the most popular band in the world and have been for several years Their fan base is called ARMY and we do much more than just support their music We also do a whole lot of different types of charity in the name of BTS and ARMY We are a collective of(mostly) great human beings who spread love and kindness where we can I hope you continue to check out their very large body of work We can help you along your journey I promise you wont be sorry You will find a lot more serious songs and topics other than what you listened to today Check out the rap line of BTS and you will see some incredibly deep and meaningful lyrics to some awesome rap styles The vocal line also has some very meaningful songs with a wide variety of genres I recommend watching The Guide to BTS by Taylor Mari It is long but it goes by fast and is essential for every new fan to understand how this band has evolved and what they stand for Also they are hilariously funny !!hope to see you again!! Heather K ARMY since 2013
There is a theme that runs through their albums touching on many societal and mental health issues. They heavily promote self love and giving back. Their videos are influenced by psychoanalysts like Carl Jung and novels by Herman Hesse. Never turn off a video before the very end, you never know what you may miss. They started with a very small company in SK who had little influence over tv and radio which is how groups debut over there. So they marketed themselves by giving free concerts, were among the very first to vlog on YT, posted "bangtan bombs" which shows behind the scenes footage, dance practices, vacations - and developed their own variety show Run BTS. This is how they managed to build such a huge fandom called ARMY (you'll see they spell out ARMY in the Butter MV) - because of the time and effort they put into their fans. They're currently carrying out mandatory military enlistment with the first two being discharged in June and October of this year. They regularly go onto the Weverse platform and interact live with ARMY. Reunion will be June 2025 when all members are discharged.
There is a common miss conception of what K-pop is. People ( and the competition lol) has conveniently leveled it as a genre, when it’s actually a whole industry. What BTS has done in the past 11 years , as a group and as solo artist, is unprecedented.
Since you liked rap parts I recommend you to watch / listen to song Daechwita from one of the members Suga (August D when he performs alone). Other rap members are RM and J Hope so if you are interested you could see some of their music as well. A lot of the songs are writen and produced buy two members of the group - RM and Suga.
Bts paved the way for other K-pop groups after them and every other kpop artists have literally said bts paved the way and are proud of them and love them as well cause they helped other artists to get where they are today.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I’m a new sub from South Africa. I have been BTS Army since 2015 - you won’t find a more talented group of men anywhere, nor a better group of human beings. Most Army are with BTS initially because we come across a song we like, then we discover MANY songs we like, then we discover what beautiful souls these men have, and suddenly we are Army (pretty much for life 😂🤷♂️). All South Korean men between the ages of 18-30 must do 18-24 months of National service in the Korean armed forces/military - two of the members of BTS have just completed their service, while the other five are still enlisted and will finish around the middle of next year - so although we have had some amazing solo albums from all the members, we have had no actual BTS songs for a while, and won’t until later next year. We all still love watching BTS content reactions though, and I look forward to seeing more BTS reactions from you - you haven’t even scratched the surface yet, and these are not their “best” songs, IMO - so you have some treats ahead of you 🌸💜
Since you said you like techno music and dance music... i would suggest you listen to I NEED YOU, SAVE ME, SO WHAT and FIRE. BTS make a large variety of music and generally you can find anything you're looking for if you actually spend your time exploring their discography. Even in genres you don't actually love all that much, you still find that their music is just better. Plus the added aspect of the stage performance and the creativity of concepts and exploration of these conceptual themes themselves is like a bonus... Added garnishing on an already well made meal. Once you become a bit more familiar with their music, you can't help but be curious about them as artists and people as well. And that is really where they actually get ya! All the members are so talented, have great personalities, are funny, and just such good and likeable people, that its hard to dislike them. There is also a lot of old as well as still outpouring content for the fans that you can just pick up a starting point and start exploring. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your journey with BTS and you can have fun exploring these amazing artists and come to understand why people love them so much, if you don't join us that is 🤪💜
Butter.. the more I watch it, the more it makes me laugh. They are laughing at the haters and anyone who takes themselves seriously hahah I so bloody love them!!
Biggest band in the world and absolute legends. I hope you get into more of their Korean music - it's better than the English songs in my opinion. These guys are all very successful solo artists as well as being in BTS. ARMY is eagerly awaiting their return from the military in 2025 (2 are done, the other 5 still serving). Just an aside, these guys are also humble, kind and generous. No arrogance or egos amongst them. Thank you for your reaction.
Boy with luv was never my fav either, though I’ve grown to like it. I don’t love the super pop stuff as much but the great thing about BTS is they really cover almost all genres, very versatile. Plus they always mix rap and vocals really well. And the lyrics! They write their own stuff and the lyrics matter. So thanks for noticing. Thanks for being honest, open minded and genuine. That’s most important for ARMY ( BTS fandom). Welcome to the rabbit hole 💜💜
Butter and their song dynamite has been nominated for the grammys 5 times and its amazing no pther asian act or group has accomplished this at all and this song butter has been on the hot 100 for 10 consecutive weeks no one has been able to do this between kpop girl groups as well its absolutely incredible i love these guys and their lyrics are always uplifting and comforting as well.
Even John Cena and many other big western celebrities are fan of BTS John Cena want to become BTS bodyguard too😂 they've got 5 Grammy nominations the only k-pop group ever had they broke so many record and made so many record including the Beatles record too
BTS does all types of musical genres. Only 3 songsare all English, though members have made English solo songs. Fake Love, On Kinetic Manifesto, Bulletproof Eternal are all in my favorites. Be aware some songs will not make sense due to cultural differences or historical/political context global listeners don't get. There are alwaays expalnation videos.
BTS has everything. From hard rap and hip hop at one end to sweet vocals at the you can't go wrong. They have all group, rap line, vocal line and solos. They write and produce most of their own songs. They are an amalgamation of beat, vocals, dance, lyrics, and style. They've also won over 1000 awards, including the big American awards for multiple years in a row. They have the largest fan base in the world. I don't like pop and never listened to it, but BTS blew me away.
They began as a hip hop group, so if you stick around, they have plenty of things to show you. Three rappers, 4 vocalists- they all have individual work in addition to the group songs, and they span a lot of genres.
BTS is the biggest boy group in the world rn they're beyond k-pop they've so many varieties in their music and there lyrics are also very powerful and every song vedio has meaning or story BTS would never disappoint believe me there live performances are insane they work from nothing and now they're successful they made there country famous
BTS covers so many genre with very bright to very dark themes. Genres from jazz to Rock/ rap They even have latin pop, various genre of rap, gorgeous ballads in 3 languages, EDM. Because all 7are stars in their own right. They are best live in concert. They sold out 2 days of Wembley Stadium in less than 2 hours. Jin has the most old school light rock vibe Try his new HAPPY album he released after his militairy service. 5 of the 7 are still in the army. Doing really well. Jin, J Hope, Jimin already achieved elite warrior status and V is in the special forces. Try ON KINETIC MANIFESTO also and FIRE and J HOPES MORE
Boy with luv wasn’t my favourite to start with, but it’s grown on me. It’s more the lyrics for me - they want us to know they love us no matter what and they’d love to know more about us individually rather than thinking of us as 1 entity of their fanbase. This song makes me feel special and that’s why I grew from meh to YAY on this song 19:00 your cat was catting, you can’t control that 😂
Am an African never liked it when my friend listened to them to the point i was even referring to them as gay boys but the first time i watched a full music video(boy with luv) i tried watching another😅and that was Dynamite era which literally became my ring tone. Now am head over heels😭 with this Seven boys💜💜💜
The genre of K-pop is misleading because it's not just Pop music. It's any type of music from Korea. BTS writes, composes, produces their own music with the help of others. They are very hands on. They cover many different genres. Glad you gave them a listen. While still a band, they have solo works. 2 of them have completed their mandatory military service for South Korea, and the other 5 are due back in 2025.
This world of KPOP is wider with rappers who are the best in the world, rhythm and speed. There are solos etc... from ballad music to rap music. choose the most appropriate songs in KPOP. From BTS react to Outro tear or Mic drop
I'm 46 with a long history of loving alt bands and indie artists. If the lyrics were silly or vapid, I was the first to skewer them. I was into everything but pop, and because of that I dismissed BTS. Color me surprised when I saw them perform Boy with Luv on SNL and was utterly charmed by them. And then they came out to do Mic Drop as their second song, and it was like a completely different group had hit the stage and set it on fire. Then I saw their first appearance on Jimmy Fallon, and was impressed by the humble, warm personalities. It wasn't at all what I was used to seeing from celebrity groups. They were just goofy friends teasing each other and making the audience comfortable. But when they hit the stage, a switch FLIPPED and it was like seeing your best friend turn into a superhero. But what made me stick around was finding out how they have SO MANY songs with very meaningful, poetic, and inspiring lyrics.
I also listen to a lot of different kinds of music, that was one of the best parts when I found BTS - they have such a wide variety of music to explore :) I hope you will continue looking into BTS because YOU want to too 🤗 ty for sharing your reaction!
i genuinely like them .. dont worry i started youtube as a hobby ! to do WHAT I WANT in my free time ! its enough im working 8 hours where i dont like , imagine coming home and doing the same thing hahah
@VictorNightroad Glad you have your UA-cam channel is a place of exploration and enjoyment for you! We all need a space to go to after all the busy hours of our jobs! I'll be back here for your next BTS posts 🤗💜 Welcome to the beginning of your BTS journey and I hope you have fun!
KPop is not a genre it is an industry. BTS cover many genres from hard rap to pop to ballads. If you like house and tech I recommend watching the MV Blood Sweat and Tears. For hard rap I recommend Cyphers parts 1 to 4 and Ugh, for more R&B soul type I recommend House of Cards, for Ballad I recommend The Truth Untold. They are even better live than in studio, they sing/rap while doing heavy choreo, no lip synching. Hope you watch more. Also, all 7 members also have solo music if you look for RM, Agust D (Suga for BTS group music), Jin, J Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook. All 7 have very different styles.
Easiest to think in these terms. 'K-Pop' is an industry . It covers most genres and includes soloists and groups and is a blanket term used mostly in the West to indicate that the artist is from Korea and has music that is popular. In Korea, they don't really use the term K-Pop. They call these types of groups or soloists "Idols" (or Idol groups). It is not common for Idol groups to write their own music or be so involved in their art. BTS Members are all songwriters, composers and producers, and BTS has broken thru the barriers that come with being called "KPop Idols" and have become "Global Artists" instead. That said, they are extremely proud of their country of birth, so being referred to as KPop stars does not bother them.. The reason so many ARMY get upset is that it is usually used in a derogatory manner when people just dismiss BTS as some little KPop boyband. As you will find, most (not all) of KPop and boy bands are being forced to sing innane lyrics to boppy tunes and no real substance. You will find people who love BTS truly love music.... and most of us are not into any other Idol groups... we value BTSs sincerity and authenticity in all aspects of their lives... it is more than just music... However, that said...Other Korean acts I would very highly recommend that write their own music and are very talented and favoured by ARMY for their authenticity... TRY... Female group... Mamamoo... Dingo Killing Voice Live performance Female soloist... IU... Love Wins All ( the MV also stars V from BTS) Male soloist... DPR Ian... Don't Go Insane K-Rock band... The Rose... Back To Me IU and Woosung from The Rose have collaborated with BTS in the past. Have a great day.
I have to be honest, I have been a huge fan of BTS for a long time and although I don't hate it, Boy With Love is one of my least favorite songs. I can't tell you why..I've just never loved it..except for the rapping parts. You should check out Black Swan and Magic Shop live. Both fabulous songs. Blue and Grey live on MTV Unplugged or PTD concert. The song is gorgeous and I feel is very underrated. 😊💜💜💜
Hi, thank you for your honest reaction and listening to them with an open mind. Glad to see you enjoyed it. They have a vast inventory of songs, if you are interested in more, BTS is a very special group that is immensely talented and will surprise you at every turn. Well worth checking out more. Hope you have a great day.
Seeing so many people telling how bts saved them its so heart warming and feel like true when people say they saved me or means home to me . Really i myself accept this and claim this and feel like we all are same with different stories connected by bts
You’re amazing! Changing the tone helps to influence positivity for what is unknown. Thank you for being so receptive of feedback and being a leader for change!
@@VictorNightroad I think that, beside that some find it offensive, it's more about us ARMYs having seen too many of "haters" of k-pop reacting to numerous BTS music videos, liking them, so we feel it's just a clickbait (nobody loves them, it's a cheap way of getting views). So, thank you for changing it and thank you for your honest reaction.
I think you might enjoy the songs by Agust D, which is kinda some sort of second identity/alter ego of one of the members of BTS! I personally recommend the songs Agust D, Daechwita and Haegeum!
"Hate" is a triggering word for us. Our boys have not done anything to be hated by the public but we the fans and them get the burnt of it. Change your title we do not want to see "Haters" reacting to our boys. If you are genuine and curious just say reactor watches BTS thats it. And if you truely "hate kpop" the industry do lay out the arguments WHY so we can correct you and get past the hatred if you have any to begin with.
welcome to the BTS rabbithole! We, ARMYs, welcome reactors to our boys who show genuine interest in discovering their music and getting to know them. ofcourse, we are open to opinions and understand that not all people have the same music choices as long as it is respectful and not just based on hateful bias. i appreciate your honesty and sincerity, it shows in the way that you are careful with the your words and how you appreciate details and/or parts of the MV and the song even if it is not entirely your cup of tea. you are in for a real treat because BTS is a versatile group which covers a lot of music genres. not only that but they have great personalities. we will be very happy to provide info when needed and guide you if you wish to dig deeper into the rabbithole. enjoy!
I loved how he said..”music doesn’t need subtitles” like so true!!! As an ARMY (BTS fans as a fandom are called ARMy im happy that you’re reacting to BTS for the first time but those words were actually touching!!💜
great reaction...thank you for reacting to BTS, they were my first kpop group too... ...but i have to say dont corner yourself in kpop just w BTS...try other groups too....i was only into BTS at first, now i enoy some other groups too (Stray Kids, BTOB, The rose)....explore and you will see what you like ☺
Just to let you know, you may want to reconsider using the term "skinhead" to describe yourself. It has a very distinct meaning in the United States! Thank you for your reaction to BTS. Keep digging into their discography... you won't be disappointed! 💜
We love a cat cameo! Here comes ARMY! If you decide to do more BTS reactions, all ARMY asks is that you’re sincere. ARMY can be helpful, friendly, overwhelming, overbearing, demanding, loving and sometimes not nice. Also, those billion views came from ARMy so we don’t mind if you pause to react or say something. Take care! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
59 yaşımdayım.Pop dinlemem o yüzden kpop da hiç dinlememiştim.Birgün tesadüfen youtube'da Jungkook'un sesini duydum,"Aman Tanrım bu da kim,muazzam duygulu bir ses" dedim ve BTS olduğunu öğrendim.O günden beri sadece BTS dinliyorum ve bias'ım Jungkook.Bana pop müziği sevdirdiği için ona minnettarım🙏💜👑
Stop with this clickbait "kpop hater" headline. Just react to the boys' content with sincerity. We, ARMY, love seeing people react to BTS with genuine interest in getting to know them and discovering how amazing they are. We will happily support your sincere journey in discovering them.
Yeah, why do many people write k-pop hater as clickbait?
Right!!!
I was just about to type the same thing 🥲, is it not tiring to use the same title everytime?
True...
Didi you see everyone is k.pop haters my self i'm not gonna subscribe
I am a boy and I am 24 years old. Six years ago, when I was depressed, when I had three unsuccessful suicide attempts, I met BTS. In short, they brought my life back to me. Instead of crying at night and thinking about suicide, I spent my time watching BTS and just laughing. Now I have been living in South Korea for five years and thanks to BTS, almost all my dreams It is possible and now I only wish to come to the concert that I will 100% go to the concert of these seven angels in 2026.
They saved me too at 59 after taking care of my dying parents for their last 6 years. Genuine humans, full of love and laughter-the best medicine. ❤
Wow your story is really touching! I'm glad that you're still with us and yes Bts have that power to save people life even though they're not even aware of it! They are true angels 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
@@leticiar7 Yes, they are real angels
I don't know you but I'm so happy you're still with us today. So glad BTS helped you as they helped so many people, me included. When I first heard of them, I was so disconnected to my emotions I couldn't even feel physical pain to a certain degree. Just like you, BTS brought life back to me, they helped me understand that having emotions was not a bad thing and that I could start dreaming again.
Thank you for sharing your story with us.
@@auriane_6755 I am happy for you too, I hope you have a good life, full of happiness.
There are 3 rappers and 4 vocalists in BTS. They all have solo albums as well and have over a decade of music. They do all kinds of genres and never sound the same. They are even better live.
If you go down the rabbit hole of Kpop, you won't regret. BTS literally got me through some really tough times. I'm 63 years old. NEVER would have imagined it!
I am 63 too. I used to listen to other Korean singers, but when I had a really hard time, I found BTS and I was stuck. Nothing is the same for me anymore
BTS isn't kpop. The BTS rabbit hole will make you realize how fake and bad kpop is
I am 52. I was into techno and goth metal before I fell into the BTS rabbit hole. Now I’ve fallen in love with these 7 young men and their music
53yo OG rap and metal, I fell in 2016 and have never looked back 💜
It's kind of funny, I'm 20 and I started seriously listening to music with BTS and kpop as a kid and then branched out to goth metal and nu metal.
what kinda dj`s were you into ?
And I am 54. The same story.
Started knowing nothing about 4 years ago, now I know almost everything.
Big journey.
Hugs from Portugal 🇵🇹
I am 55 and have been ARMY for 5 years! They got me through COVID lockdown. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
BTS paved the way, definitely the best first group to get into for Kpop. First and only group I’m into, same for most ARMYs (BTS’ fan base) 🙏
Agree. The only group I'm into...
Canadian Asian almost on my 50 grow up with all asian music and drama especially Korean but never like it ,until i fall for BTS ..no one really not no ones are like them 🥰🥰🥰
Just call me BTS-centric. My one and only.
Yes me too. i can't move on to other group. 😅. i heard them but I can't into all of the other song. But, I love every single of BTS song. Even I cannot sing the right word. haha.. 🤣
@@taejinnied BTS is not the only group I'm into, personally, I'm also a big fan of Stray Kids and Ateez, but BTS is the only group that resonate with me to the point of getting a tattoo out of three of their songs. They are and always will be THE group of my life, THE group that saved me ! ^^
BTS started as a hip hop group when they debuted in 2013. Although they started as hip hop group, their discography is very diverse. There are 7 members in BTS ; 3 rappers and 4 vocalists.
Butter is the 2nd song of their English trilogy released during the pandemic. It's happy poppy tune to cheer up people. I think butter still hold the record for most views in 24 hrs (108M).
Boy with luv is considered bubblegum pop. Very colourful indeed. It served as a parallel track of their earlier song, boy in love. There's another song that is super colourful, idol. Despite all the colours, idol is full of cultural references and required an explanation video.
Mic drop is a diss track. BTS came from a small agency and received a lot of hate till this day. The original version in full korean does not have mv.
If you like edm, the only song that i could think of from BTS is best of me and so what (my mind not really working right now). There's no mv for both songs but you can find the live versions with english subs.
If you like dark ecstatic, try black swan, fake love, blood, sweat and tears or house of cards. When i said dark, i don't mean just appearance.
If you like intense choreo, try on kinetic manifesto or run bts (not run, that's another song). Run bts does not have mv but the dance practice is as good as mv.
BTS is not active as a group currently due to mandatory military service. Only 2 of their members have completed their service. The rest will be discharged June2025. Although they are not active as a group, they still continue to release solo contents (some are pre recorded). You can checkout some of their latest solo work; RM (lost), Jin (running wild), Suga@AgustD (haegeum), J-hope(neuron), Jimin(who), V(fri(end)s) and Jungkook(standing next to you).
Have fun! ☺
He has to react to Wings
thanks for recommending .just finished black swan today ! gonna be on the channel soon !
BTS is their own genre. They don’t hold themselves to one particular sound.
Nice for you that someone introduced you to BTS. They are the biggest band in the world, and not really a pop band, that is just US media trying to put music in boxes.
They started as a hip hop group but have grown and expanded to cover many genres.
There are 3 excellent rappers and 4 vocalists.
You might enjoy
On Kinetic Manifesto,
Black Swan,
Fake Love,
Hip Hop Lover,
just for starters.
thanks ive watched black swan today .. really good
Dude dude DUUUUUUDE! You don't start with Butter, Boy With Luv, or Dynamite. That's like someone going "I think I'll check out the Beatles!" but then you start with "Octopuses Garden." No shade to Ringo, but you would have a skewed view of the Beatles if that's your first impression. Same with this. Although "Boy With Luv" is slightly more on target. Still you wanna start with something like "Black Swan" or "Spring Day." Hell, start with any of the cyphers if you're more interested in the rap line. You can get into vocal line later. There's as many BTS songs as there are episodes of One Piece so pick an era or a subset and pace yourself. You might as well call off work for the next week right now. Godspeed.
Butter, Boy with Luv, and Dynamite are great songs
@Karen-m1v If you're already a fan, sure they are. In the context of their broader body of work, yeah. Noobs ain't ready.
@@LostNTranslationsI think it also depends on what the person's preferences are - because Butter, Dynamite, Cyphers, etc wouldn't have pulled me in either...
Those 3 are imo among the best to introduce many newbies to tho. And it's exactly bcs they're poppy; imo most ppl like that type of music and at least with BTS, it was proven. If not, Boy With Luv wouldn't have given them a #8 on the BB Hot100 (BWL I can concede it may have been mostly ARMYs' efforts), and later on Dynamite and Butter gave them 2 consecutive #1's (but these 2 def had newbies interested), and if we keep going, so did Permission to Dance. They're not my favorites among BTS's catalog tbh BUT I love those songs bcs they're cheerful. My mom was not an ARMY nor was she interested in them (she's still like a casual but dedicated fan when she randomly sees them on the news and gets the spotify music updates), but she LOVED Dynamite. It was playing every time I was with her. So I don't think they're bad for newbies, they're like an appetizer or a bait for ppl lol. They think they know what to expect out of BTS with those songs but they're dead wrong, but I DO think BTS recs should be more based on the newbies' music tastes.
Thanks 🍻 black Swan was so nice
BTS is technically a K-pop group (mostly because they were formed through the K-pop Trainee System) but they go way beyond that - they are global artists that experiment a lot with their sound. They're considered a pop group - even a K-pop group specifically - but they do a lot of different genres. They're the biggest group in the world and are competing with the biggest Western artists without any industry support whether from the K-pop Industry or the American Industry. They produce, write and compose and are heavily involved in their career at all levels. BTS are living legends 💜
Each member has a successful solo career with very different styles. They're on hiatus until June 2025 to complete their mandatory military service and take the time to focus on their solo career. Jin - the oldest - just released his debut album 'Happy' and V will be releasing a Christmas duet of Bing Crosby's 'White Christmas' on December 6th
They debuted as BTS in 2013 in an almost bankrupt label and rose to the top through hard work
They have 3 rappers and 4 vocalists. 2 of their rappers (RM, the leader, and SUGA aka Agust D) were underground rappers before the group was formed and the other one (j-hope) was a rather well-known street dancer who won competitions at national level. The vocalists (Jin, Jimin, V and Jungkook) all have unique voices with different abilities which complement each other very well. Their voices are all wonderful and have impressive technique. Jimin was also a top student in contemporary dance before joining BTS
They have exceptional teamwork and consider each other family
They write meaningful lyrics and love to convey a message through their art. They really are passionate artists and are genuinely wonderful humans 💜
i like Suga hes niec .. thanks for explaining the layout of the band i appreciate it
@@VictorNightroadSuga has 2 solo mix tapes and 1 album under his alias "Agust D" its a rabbit hole on it's own.
Kpop is not really a genre-- it is a mix of genres. You might find 3 to 5 diff genres in one song. Seriously. It can be quite addictive. Appreciate your honest reaction.
K-pop is an industry
thanks for explaining that
There are artists classes as "k-pop" but are more like rock, or jazz... and like you said - they mix multiple genres into one song. The term is more used for any music from S. Korea then an actual music genre, it seems... 💜
It is said that BTS and ARMY finds us when we need them most.
I'm 55 who is into heavy metal, heavy rock. You could image my surprise when I took to BTS like a duck to water. Love these guys and only a little while to go before they are all together again! OT7 Always
everyone that begins listening to BTS falls down the rabbit hole their music has something for almost every taste.
Thanks for your reaction. The group had its beginnings being a more hip hop group... over time it diversified handling genres such as: R&B, Pop, EDM, Rock, Jazz.
There are a rap sub unit within the group and a vocal sub unit where the rappers have few songs by themselves and the same with vocal line... But most of their songs as a complete group combines rap and vocals in Korean with a little of english
They have 3 english songs that are very poppy and cheerfull becaused were released during the pandemic because they wanted to cheer up their fans during that time. Those songs were composed by American artists although the BTS rap line did write their part of the song. In most of the group's songs the 3 rappers are very involved
BTS albums have a sequence or a chronology of topics to deal with... Fans classify BTS's discography as eras (generally made up of album trilogies). Among the concepts they have dealt with aspects of human psychology. This song belongs to the album "Map of the Soul"... Which comes after the "Love yourself" Era
The meaning of the concept of the album "Map of the Soul" has to do with four versions related to analytical psychology of the book "The map of the soul according to Jung": Persona, Anima, Self and Shadow. Remembering that Jung was one of the most popular psychoanalysts of the 20th century and founder of depth psychology, which is mainly based on what exists between consciousness and the unconscious
Without going into so much detail about these 4 aspects of being according to Jung... The Anima is the feminine aspect present in the collective unconscious of men and the Animus is the masculine aspect present in the collective unconscious of women. In other words, we all have feminine and masculine energy, although one prevails over the other in each individual
So in this video the feminine energy present in the members is exalted because they have already connected with their Anima and that is why they are "boys with love".. they feel complete. Remember that in general in many cultures men are expected to project a strong, masculine image, which is a sign of weakness to show emotions, especially love or crying, which are "more feminine" aspects. So these BTS albums seek to generate a journey towards the encounter with ourselves and the acceptance of the "I" among them the integration of our polarity, be it feminine or masculine... and for this reason a lot of vibrant tone is used in this video and shades of pink in the color palette of the video
BTS is quite a versatile group within K-pop and they are not afraid to explore and play with different genres and concepts in their songs and videos and that is why you will see a bit of everything in their music styles and the image they project
Sorry for the length, but I know that here in the West many men clash a bit with the "soft" and "feminine" image that male K-pop artists have, you just have to understand that it is a culture that in general celebrates beauty more, elegance and versatility... which accepts slightly androgynous looks that are not shocking to them, since in fact the public demands changes in style (in hair color and outfits) the use of accessories such as bracelets, necklaces, earrings. .. Asian fans expect the artist to be a bit of a chameleon according to the concepts they want to convey with their albums
Also, as you have already seen, BTS changes a lot in style from one video to another: we have seen them with a casual style, a more pop style, Hip Hop, Emo and even with Latin vibes, etc
Greetings from México 💜
Thank you for your comment.
thanks ! ive read everything ... but i wont lay down a huge commment on my own haha ! i agree with you and i also found out few new things .. thanks for that ! greetings from ireland !
I have no idea why so many dislikes since you're honest but kind and respectful. Maybe it's just because people are tired of the "K-pop hater" label in the titles, IDK. K-pop is more of an industry than a genre of m,usic and BTS were the underdogs and the disturbers of the status quo since their very humble beginnings. They are phenomenal live and their vast discography encompasses many genres. They often touch on some serious topics and managed to ruffle many feathers, in the industry and even the politics. They are not your typical boy band in the Western sense - they call the shots in their own career and make their own music, their label (also Korean musi in general, entertainment and even tourism) stands on their shoulders so to speak. They are also the kindest and funniest people with no f*cks to give.
PS. Being well-groomed and stylish is a Korean thing, especially visible in entertainment, but Korean men in general don't fall far from that - especially in the big cities.
ive got 2k likes and onle a few dislikes .. i can actually say im doing good .. haha ! maybe it was because of the title like you said .. but ive changed it .. its just a search term i didnt think its ofensive ,
@@VictorNightroad Huh, my dislike extension must have gone crazy, because now it shows the correct amount - it showed much more before. Nah, it's not offensive, just the kind of reactors who use it are often either a-holes or just baiting people because they know BTS gets views. I assure you, you don't wanna be associated with those clowns since you clearly had genuinely no idea who they are.Your comments had really made me chuckle. With BTS you never know what you're gonna get genre-wise, we often say that they are the genre. Since they are fulfilling their mandatory military duties (two of the members are done with it now), they also do solo work before they reunite and they've added even more flavors to their music and it will be interesting to see what they'll do next.
You will always be surprised by a BTS song. Two of the members write and produce songs for other groups and all have a hand in the lyrics, music, and choreography. They also have solo careers, so when they come together they always have fresh ideas. And their genre is BTS.
Oh I love seeing newbies go down the BTS rabbit hole. Please watch the guide to bangtan 7 by Taylor Mari and you'll see just why they're so huge and how talented they are. You'll particularly like the rap line RM, Suga (Agust D), J-Hope. Look at their solo stuff.
Me to so love rap line expcialy to Agust D 😊
😅definitely watch Guide to Bangtan 7 to get to know them. Their group work and their individual work
There are also four AMAZING vocalist. One of them has the fastest song in history to get 1 Billion streams. He has 3 songs with over 1 Billion streams. Another has the fastest song by a soloist (no feature guest on song) to get 1 Billion streams. He has 2 songs with 1 Billion. Another one has a song that is really close to 1 Billion streams (955million). And the last one just released his very first album last week. Their names are (in order stated above): Jung Kook, Jimin, V and Jin.
The point is that all seven members are extremely talented and successful on their own and come together to form this amazing group.
Welcome to BTS! I hope you choose to go further down the BTS rabbit hole. As a dedicated ARMY (name of BTS fandom), I can tell you that this group of insanely talented guys never disappoint. 💜
This is such a refreshing reaction. I love the accent. I was a kpop hater before too, but they eventually won me over. Mic Drop was also my firat fave song😊
thanks ! romanian accent with a bit of irish twist haha "been living in ireland for a good while now"
Wait till you hear them live its absolutely insane you would not believe how incredible they are i love it. Ive seen them in concert since 2013 and 2014 till 2023 its been incredibly memorable for me and several Army's. Army is bts Fandoms name.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
You gonna love BTS, all haters at the end become a fans 😍💜
💜
"Fire"
"Not today"
"Dionysus"
"Ddaeng"
"Tear"
10:48 "everything is so colorful, so flower power" then suga pops right away to change his perception of the song kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk perfect timing
great reaction btw, very honest and respectful in your own way, i love seeing people with different taste/backgrounds and zero knowledge tapping in bts' world, there's so much to discover, it's mind-blowing.
i wish i could meet them for the first time again too :')
They are very versatile in what they do. Whether it's their musical style or genre, group or individual styles, etc...they have so much to offer. Their production quality is chef's kiss. These guys put blood, sweat & tears into everything they do. They have many eras since their debut so you might find something you might like. They're like ART overall...very subjective so you don't have to like it. Appreciation for the arts go a very long way. Check out their dance practices or live performances when you get a chance. You can also check out their solo projects to see which member musical styles resonate with you. Maybe Hobi at Lollapalooza?
You will love “So What” , Cypher 1-4, “Boy In Luv” (this is different than Boy W Luv) and “DNA” by BTS
Hi! Welcome to BTS. K-pop is not a genre, but an industry, and, nowadays, BTS is beyond it. You'll see they have a huge discography (not even a single bad song) in very different genres and styles. Most of their songs are deep and meaningful. They have three songs in English (Butter is one of them). Those songs were made during the pandemic to bring a bit of joy to the world.
The fandom (A.R.M.Y) is for boys, girls, women, and men, regardless of age, genre, race, religion, etc. (I'm 67 years old).
I hope you decide to dig into this awesome rabbit hole!! I'm sure you'll love it!
More BTS please. You will learn that BTS can do every genre
I feel like you would enjoy Fake love 💜💜
ill get to it .. ive done black swan today and ill react to more eventually
they do japanese songs too.. it's safe to say that they have their own genre like they do pop, rock, r&b, neo soul, jazz etc etc etc.. all of the members have different style in music so when they come together it's masterpiece.. you can see the diversity in their solo career
Hi Victor!! I am from California USA Welcome to the BTS rabbit hole! These guys are amazing They are the most popular band in the world and have been for several years Their fan base is called ARMY and we do much more than just support their music We also do a whole lot of different types of charity in the name of BTS and ARMY We are a collective of(mostly) great human beings who spread love and kindness where we can I hope you continue to check out their very large body of work We can help you along your journey I promise you wont be sorry You will find a lot more serious songs and topics other than what you listened to today Check out the rap line of BTS and you will see some incredibly deep and meaningful lyrics to some awesome rap styles The vocal line also has some very meaningful songs with a wide variety of genres I recommend watching The Guide to BTS by Taylor Mari It is long but it goes by fast and is essential for every new fan to understand how this band has evolved and what they stand for Also they are hilariously funny !!hope to see you again!! Heather K ARMY since 2013
Hi there ! thanks for having me guys ! we gonna have a fun time
Thanks for having an open mind.
thank you for staying polite
There is a theme that runs through their albums touching on many societal and mental health issues. They heavily promote self love and giving back. Their videos are influenced by psychoanalysts like Carl Jung and novels by Herman Hesse. Never turn off a video before the very end, you never know what you may miss. They started with a very small company in SK who had little influence over tv and radio which is how groups debut over there. So they marketed themselves by giving free concerts, were among the very first to vlog on YT, posted "bangtan bombs" which shows behind the scenes footage, dance practices, vacations - and developed their own variety show Run BTS. This is how they managed to build such a huge fandom called ARMY (you'll see they spell out ARMY in the Butter MV) - because of the time and effort they put into their fans. They're currently carrying out mandatory military enlistment with the first two being discharged in June and October of this year. They regularly go onto the Weverse platform and interact live with ARMY. Reunion will be June 2025 when all members are discharged.
Mic Drop a complete diss track to all their many haters and yes they have many many music awards 1,400 Music Awards.
There is a common miss conception of what K-pop is. People ( and the competition lol) has conveniently leveled it as a genre, when it’s actually a whole industry. What BTS has done in the past 11 years , as a group and as solo artist, is unprecedented.
Thanks dude !
BTS are very talented, they also produce, write a lot of their own stuff and are amazing performers live
Since you liked rap parts I recommend you to watch / listen to song Daechwita from one of the members Suga (August D when he performs alone). Other rap members are RM and J Hope so if you are interested you could see some of their music as well.
A lot of the songs are writen and produced buy two members of the group - RM and Suga.
I’m 61 and used to love 80s music but now I’m in love with this 7 guys! 💜💜💜🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽💜💜💜
thats so cool !
No soy fanática del k pop pero si SUPER FAN DE BTS 💜🫰🏻🇦🇷 NUESTROS CHICOS SON MUY TALENTOSOS ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bts paved the way for other K-pop groups after them and every other kpop artists have literally said bts paved the way and are proud of them and love them as well cause they helped other artists to get where they are today.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I’m a new sub from South Africa. I have been BTS Army since 2015 - you won’t find a more talented group of men anywhere, nor a better group of human beings. Most Army are with BTS initially because we come across a song we like, then we discover MANY songs we like, then we discover what beautiful souls these men have, and suddenly we are Army (pretty much for life 😂🤷♂️). All South Korean men between the ages of 18-30 must do 18-24 months of National service in the Korean armed forces/military - two of the members of BTS have just completed their service, while the other five are still enlisted and will finish around the middle of next year - so although we have had some amazing solo albums from all the members, we have had no actual BTS songs for a while, and won’t until later next year. We all still love watching BTS content reactions though, and I look forward to seeing more BTS reactions from you - you haven’t even scratched the surface yet, and these are not their “best” songs, IMO - so you have some treats ahead of you 🌸💜
Since you said you like techno music and dance music... i would suggest you listen to I NEED YOU, SAVE ME, SO WHAT and FIRE.
BTS make a large variety of music and generally you can find anything you're looking for if you actually spend your time exploring their discography. Even in genres you don't actually love all that much, you still find that their music is just better. Plus the added aspect of the stage performance and the creativity of concepts and exploration of these conceptual themes themselves is like a bonus... Added garnishing on an already well made meal.
Once you become a bit more familiar with their music, you can't help but be curious about them as artists and people as well. And that is really where they actually get ya! All the members are so talented, have great personalities, are funny, and just such good and likeable people, that its hard to dislike them. There is also a lot of old as well as still outpouring content for the fans that you can just pick up a starting point and start exploring.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy your journey with BTS and you can have fun exploring these amazing artists and come to understand why people love them so much, if you don't join us that is 🤪💜
💜
Butter.. the more I watch it, the more it makes me laugh. They are laughing at the haters and anyone who takes themselves seriously hahah I so bloody love them!!
Biggest band in the world and absolute legends. I hope you get into more of their Korean music - it's better than the English songs in my opinion. These guys are all very successful solo artists as well as being in BTS. ARMY is eagerly awaiting their return from the military in 2025 (2 are done, the other 5 still serving). Just an aside, these guys are also humble, kind and generous. No arrogance or egos amongst them. Thank you for your reaction.
Hope to see more of bts cuz I don't listen to kpop I only listen to bts borahea 💜💜💜💜
Boy with luv was never my fav either, though I’ve grown to like it. I don’t love the super pop stuff as much but the great thing about BTS is they really cover almost all genres, very versatile. Plus they always mix rap and vocals really well. And the lyrics! They write their own stuff and the lyrics matter. So thanks for noticing.
Thanks for being honest, open minded and genuine. That’s most important for ARMY ( BTS fandom). Welcome to the rabbit hole 💜💜
I will admit tho bts has helped so many people going through difficulties in life and troubles as well.
Butter and their song dynamite has been nominated for the grammys 5 times and its amazing no pther asian act or group has accomplished this at all and this song butter has been on the hot 100 for 10 consecutive weeks no one has been able to do this between kpop girl groups as well its absolutely incredible i love these guys and their lyrics are always uplifting and comforting as well.
Even John Cena and many other big western celebrities are fan of BTS John Cena want to become BTS bodyguard too😂 they've got 5 Grammy nominations the only k-pop group ever had they broke so many record and made so many record including the Beatles record too
BTS does all types of musical genres. Only 3 songsare all English, though members have made English solo songs. Fake Love, On Kinetic Manifesto, Bulletproof Eternal are all in my favorites. Be aware some songs will not make sense due to cultural differences or historical/political context global listeners don't get. There are alwaays expalnation videos.
BTS has everything. From hard rap and hip hop at one end to sweet vocals at the you can't go wrong. They have all group, rap line, vocal line and solos. They write and produce most of their own songs. They are an amalgamation of beat, vocals, dance, lyrics, and style. They've also won over 1000 awards, including the big American awards for multiple years in a row. They have the largest fan base in the world. I don't like pop and never listened to it, but BTS blew me away.
Bienvenido al mundo de BTS !¡!!! Tu mejor elección 👍 Army Argentina te saluda 👋🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
BTS is the biggest group of Artists on this planet. And their Fandom is called BTS Army. The best Fandom in the world !🥰💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Don’t call yourself a “skinhead”. This word denotes a bad character here in America.
They began as a hip hop group, so if you stick around, they have plenty of things to show you. Three rappers, 4 vocalists- they all have individual work in addition to the group songs, and they span a lot of genres.
BTS is the biggest boy group in the world rn they're beyond k-pop they've so many varieties in their music and there lyrics are also very powerful and every song vedio has meaning or story BTS would never disappoint believe me there live performances are insane they work from nothing and now they're successful they made there country famous
I'm 73 and BTS saved me from Borden in the covid years 💜 I love the song's and dancing.
You'll be surprised how wide the selection is in their discography. Enjoy discovering BTS 💜
BTS covers so many genre with very bright to very dark themes. Genres from jazz to Rock/ rap They even have latin pop, various genre of rap, gorgeous ballads in 3 languages, EDM. Because all 7are stars in their own right. They are best live in concert. They sold out 2 days of Wembley Stadium in less than 2 hours. Jin has the most old school light rock vibe Try his new HAPPY album he released after his militairy service. 5 of the 7 are still in the army. Doing really well. Jin, J Hope, Jimin already achieved elite warrior status and V is in the special forces. Try ON KINETIC MANIFESTO also and FIRE and J HOPES MORE
Boy with luv wasn’t my favourite to start with, but it’s grown on me. It’s more the lyrics for me - they want us to know they love us no matter what and they’d love to know more about us individually rather than thinking of us as 1 entity of their fanbase. This song makes me feel special and that’s why I grew from meh to YAY on this song 19:00 your cat was catting, you can’t control that 😂
hes a messer haha !
Am an African never liked it when my friend listened to them to the point i was even referring to them as gay boys but the first time i watched a full music video(boy with luv) i tried watching another😅and that was Dynamite era which literally became my ring tone. Now am head over heels😭 with this Seven boys💜💜💜
The genre of K-pop is misleading because it's not just Pop music. It's any type of music from Korea. BTS writes, composes, produces their own music with the help of others. They are very hands on. They cover many different genres. Glad you gave them a listen. While still a band, they have solo works. 2 of them have completed their mandatory military service for South Korea, and the other 5 are due back in 2025.
This world of KPOP is wider with rappers who are the best in the world, rhythm and speed. There are solos etc... from ballad music to rap music. choose the most appropriate songs in KPOP. From BTS react to Outro tear or Mic drop
I'm happy to see , when people apresheate them ... they do deserve it ❣️ Also is cool when men don't mind listening and can enjoy them also 😊. 😎🔥🎤
Keep smiling , your smile is so beautiful , and have a nice journey with BTS ❤🎉
I'm 46 with a long history of loving alt bands and indie artists. If the lyrics were silly or vapid, I was the first to skewer them.
I was into everything but pop, and because of that I dismissed BTS.
Color me surprised when I saw them perform Boy with Luv on SNL and was utterly charmed by them.
And then they came out to do Mic Drop as their second song, and it was like a completely different group had hit the stage and set it on fire.
Then I saw their first appearance on Jimmy Fallon, and was impressed by the humble, warm personalities. It wasn't at all what I was used to seeing from celebrity groups. They were just goofy friends teasing each other and making the audience comfortable. But when they hit the stage, a switch FLIPPED and it was like seeing your best friend turn into a superhero.
But what made me stick around was finding out how they have SO MANY songs with very meaningful, poetic, and inspiring lyrics.
Kpop hater starts dancing to BTS straight away
haha .. you got me !
I also listen to a lot of different kinds of music, that was one of the best parts when I found BTS - they have such a wide variety of music to explore :)
I hope you will continue looking into BTS because YOU want to too 🤗 ty for sharing your reaction!
i genuinely like them .. dont worry i started youtube as a hobby ! to do WHAT I WANT in my free time ! its enough im working 8 hours where i dont like , imagine coming home and doing the same thing hahah
@VictorNightroad Glad you have your UA-cam channel is a place of exploration and enjoyment for you! We all need a space to go to after all the busy hours of our jobs! I'll be back here for your next BTS posts 🤗💜 Welcome to the beginning of your BTS journey and I hope you have fun!
KPop is not a genre it is an industry. BTS cover many genres from hard rap to pop to ballads. If you like house and tech I recommend watching the MV Blood Sweat and Tears. For hard rap I recommend Cyphers parts 1 to 4 and Ugh, for more R&B soul type I recommend House of Cards, for Ballad I recommend The Truth Untold. They are even better live than in studio, they sing/rap while doing heavy choreo, no lip synching. Hope you watch more. Also, all 7 members also have solo music if you look for RM, Agust D (Suga for BTS group music), Jin, J Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook. All 7 have very different styles.
Easiest to think in these terms. 'K-Pop' is an industry . It covers most genres and includes soloists and groups and is a blanket term used mostly in the West to indicate that the artist is from Korea and has music that is popular. In Korea, they don't really use the term K-Pop. They call these types of groups or soloists "Idols" (or Idol groups). It is not common for Idol groups to write their own music or be so involved in their art. BTS Members are all songwriters, composers and producers, and BTS has broken thru the barriers that come with being called "KPop Idols" and have become "Global Artists" instead. That said, they are extremely proud of their country of birth, so being referred to as KPop stars does not bother them.. The reason so many ARMY get upset is that it is usually used in a derogatory manner when people just dismiss BTS as some little KPop boyband. As you will find, most (not all) of KPop and boy bands are being forced to sing innane lyrics to boppy tunes and no real substance.
You will find people who love BTS truly love music.... and most of us are not into any other Idol groups... we value BTSs sincerity and authenticity in all aspects of their lives... it is more than just music...
However, that said...Other Korean acts I would very highly recommend that write their own music and are very talented and favoured by ARMY for their authenticity...
TRY...
Female group... Mamamoo... Dingo Killing Voice Live performance
Female soloist... IU... Love Wins All ( the MV also stars V from BTS)
Male soloist... DPR Ian... Don't Go Insane
K-Rock band... The Rose... Back To Me
IU and Woosung from The Rose have collaborated with BTS in the past.
Have a great day.
Have a great day as well ! thanks you !
I have to be honest, I have been a huge fan of BTS for a long time and although I don't hate it, Boy With Love is one of my least favorite songs. I can't tell you why..I've just never loved it..except for the rapping parts. You should check out Black Swan and Magic Shop live. Both fabulous songs. Blue and Grey live on MTV Unplugged or PTD concert. The song is gorgeous and I feel is very underrated. 😊💜💜💜
Hi, thank you for your honest reaction and listening to them with an open mind. Glad to see you enjoyed it. They have a vast inventory of songs, if you are interested in more, BTS is a very special group that is immensely talented and will surprise you at every turn. Well worth checking out more. Hope you have a great day.
have a great on as well !
Seeing so many people telling how bts saved them its so heart warming and feel like true when people say they saved me or means home to me . Really i myself accept this and claim this and feel like we all are same with different stories connected by bts
Metrosexual. You got it right! Kpop aesthetics is very much referencing anime visuals.
BTS Biggest group GLOBAL in the world ever 💜
Oh man... you are in for a treat... you're gonna love them!
already liking the vibe
Ugh… another “hater”. Why hate when it’s just something unfamiliar? Call it newbie or dummy.
it`s a popular search term thats why ! but i didnt know its offensive for you guys .. ive changed it
You’re amazing! Changing the tone helps to influence positivity for what is unknown. Thank you for being so receptive of feedback and being a leader for change!
@@VictorNightroad I think that, beside that some find it offensive, it's more about us ARMYs having seen too many of "haters" of k-pop reacting to numerous BTS music videos, liking them, so we feel it's just a clickbait (nobody loves them, it's a cheap way of getting views). So, thank you for changing it and thank you for your honest reaction.
I think you might enjoy the songs by Agust D, which is kinda some sort of second identity/alter ego of one of the members of BTS! I personally recommend the songs Agust D, Daechwita and Haegeum!
Yes I'm agree with you 👍
I think he would like the music of Agust D as well. Amygdala, Moonlight, Polar Night, Snooze. I pretty much like all of his music.
oh hey bro .. nice to see some of my league boys jumping here ! ill check it out !
"Hate" is a triggering word for us. Our boys have not done anything to be hated by the public but we the fans and them get the burnt of it. Change your title we do not want to see "Haters" reacting to our boys. If you are genuine and curious just say reactor watches BTS thats it. And if you truely "hate kpop" the industry do lay out the arguments WHY so we can correct you and get past the hatred if you have any to begin with.
i got you ! i changed the title !
welcome to the BTS rabbithole! We, ARMYs, welcome reactors to our boys who show genuine interest in discovering their music and getting to know them. ofcourse, we are open to opinions and understand that not all people have the same music choices as long as it is respectful and not just based on hateful bias. i appreciate your honesty and sincerity, it shows in the way that you are careful with the your words and how you appreciate details and/or parts of the MV and the song even if it is not entirely your cup of tea. you are in for a real treat because BTS is a versatile group which covers a lot of music genres. not only that but they have great personalities. we will be very happy to provide info when needed and guide you if you wish to dig deeper into the rabbithole. enjoy!
My guy when through my two biggest interests in less than two weeks, T1, and BTS
i got you ! i never miss to impress haha !
Welcome to the BTS rabbit hole, you have a great discography to enjoy, as a band and also their solo material.
I loved how he said..”music doesn’t need subtitles” like so true!!! As an ARMY (BTS fans as a fandom are called ARMy im happy that you’re reacting to BTS for the first time but those words were actually touching!!💜
great reaction...thank you for reacting to BTS, they were my first kpop group too...
...but i have to say dont corner yourself in kpop just w BTS...try other groups too....i was only into BTS at first, now i enoy some other groups too (Stray Kids, BTOB, The rose)....explore and you will see what you like ☺
Ohhh.... You have great taste in music! 😊
Loved your reaction! Please more BTS. 보라해 💜
Thanks for u reaction♥️
They all have solo music as well but for some reason I think you would really like Right Place Wrong Person BY RM (rapper & leader)
Now everyone is like "K-POP HATERS REACT TO" 🙄
Subscribing for more BTS. Thank you for giving BTS a chance, you will see they are different from other groups. Enjoy!
my pleasure and thanks
K-pop isn't a genre, it's a music industry that have a mix of many genres❤ BTS have a lot of genres in their discografy, you can check them out💜
BTS Biggest group in the world 💜

THANK YOU FOR GIVING THEM A CHANCE
thank you
here we go to bts journey 💜
Love BTS!! Their music is so diverse, I never know what I will hear next with them. I love it.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
❤BTS❤
Just to let you know, you may want to reconsider using the term "skinhead" to describe yourself. It has a very distinct meaning in the United States! Thank you for your reaction to BTS. Keep digging into their discography... you won't be disappointed! 💜
We love a cat cameo! Here comes ARMY! If you decide to do more BTS reactions, all ARMY asks is that you’re sincere. ARMY can be helpful, friendly, overwhelming, overbearing, demanding, loving and sometimes not nice. Also, those billion views came from ARMy so we don’t mind if you pause to react or say something. Take care! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
you 2 :3
I rlly enjoyed this video as an army!! I recommend you react to their song 'DOPE'
59 yaşımdayım.Pop dinlemem o yüzden kpop da hiç dinlememiştim.Birgün tesadüfen youtube'da Jungkook'un sesini duydum,"Aman Tanrım bu da kim,muazzam duygulu bir ses" dedim ve BTS olduğunu öğrendim.O günden beri sadece BTS dinliyorum ve bias'ım Jungkook.Bana pop müziği sevdirdiği için ona minnettarım🙏💜👑
