    Oh and about jealousy, you just need to watch the first Suchwita episode with JK to see how proud Yoongi is of his little brother's success. Not a trace of resentment to be seen anywhere. The man talks about how JK is the most talented singer he's ever met in almost every episode. Or, see the episode with Tae, where they talked about how different all their solo projects are. Or the one with Jimin, where they talked about the group's dynamics, especially between the rapline and the vocal line. Or they way they supported each other's solo projects, visiting each other's MV shoots, performances, concerts.
    I mean, during his last three concerts, Yoongi left the stage to his members (JK, Jimin Namjoon) so they can interact with ARMY. What artist leaves his own stage? Yoongi did it because he knows his members missed ARMY and ARMY missed them.
    I think Suchwita is a treasure trove to see the dynamics between members and within the group.

      Great points. I also would like to add, when Jhope and Suga first performed one of their solo hit songs, Chicken Noodle Soup and Daechwita, they chose to perform it with the group. They are so selfless that they could have chosen to just perform it solo and highlight their own work. That's the kind of dynamics these men have. And yes, they support each other's solo project in every way they can. The rest of the group endorsing jhope's physical album while he's in military is another example of how they love each other.

    Sounds like your mom needs to watch Taylor's guide to find out how BTS started. It will talk about their philanthropy and Armies, too. Each of the guys gives back personally and privately, as well as a group. The group partnered with UNICEF to share profits from their albums and many other projects. Jimin donates to his schools in Busan, JK donates to children's hospitals, Suga gave alot of meat to orphanages, etc. These are some I have heard about.

    re: Jimin telling RM “we aren’t celebrities, we’re just Jimin and Namjoon.” - the way I read the situation is that Jimin was impressing on RM that they’re still just themselves, people with normal feelings and friends just like any other friends. Maybe RM was feeling nervous and getting too up in his head about the upcoming performance? and Jimin wanted to help ground him by reminding him, at least in that moment, to just relax and let himself be Namjoon for a while instead of shouldering his whole celebrity RM-of-BTS persona and all that pressure.

    The concept of a leader in K-Pop is different to that in the West. It's not just someone who introduces the songs or leads on chat shows. The leader has to mediate between the group and the agency and has to support the members emotionally. I presume Bang PD chose Namjoon to be leader but the members of TXT chose Soobin who is the only member of that group who doesn't speak English. Namjoon was the first member of BTS and they built the group around him. He is, indeed, fourth in age but the members all think he's a great leader. Trainees can train for years and maybe never make it into a group or they start with one group and then get shifted to another. Jimin had a really short trainee period of only six months and nearly didn't make the cut. It's very stressful as they have to go for monthly evaluations. Jin was put into the trainee programme on looks alone. Only Jungkook was sent to the States to improve his dance skills but it's common for Hybe trainees to be sent there now, I understand. It's only recently that they have developed their own career paths but they still introduce themselves as, 'name', of BTS. At first they did solos but under the BTS umbrella now they are still part of BTS but are also solo artists in their own right. Jungkook's recent collab with Usher was a really big coup. J-Hope headlining Lollapalooza and making it Hobipalooza brought him to the fore in the States too. Jimin, Jungkook, and J-hope all do intense choreo to their songs on stage. V is more laid back like his songs. Individually and as a group they now use external choreographers but J-Hope as dance captain steers them through rehearsals and they all contribute ideas as to how to tweak each performance. When they were training some of them were back up dancers for other performers. Jungkook's back up dancers for most of his recent performances were well known choreographers like Brian Puspos and Nick Joseph.
    Each member of BTS donates to charity or supports their old school Usually on their birthdays. Your mum is a delight and I'm pleased to hear that some of her friends are ARMY too.

    V has always been described by people who met him as pure and innocent (even his teachers in grade school described him that way), gentle, kind, polite and warm.

    I love how like you said they never take any experiences for granted. They all have a child-like sense of wonder and curiousity and go into every situation with humility and gratitude for everything they have. When you guys were talking about them having their own individual projects and that there's no jealousy involved, it reminded me that I think every one of them has mentioned at some point how strange it is not having the other members there and how they miss having them there. They do all support each other 100%.

    I think RM, Jin, and Hobi all have different "pillar" responsibilities with regard to the group (beyond music--musically, it's RM, Suga, and Hobi). RM is the Leader and his responsibilities are implied. I think the guys trust him and look to him for something like spiritual or philosophical guidance. Jin is the eldest and the boys look to him for comfort and family and laughter in that very familial kind of way, and he has a wisdom of his own that they learn from. Hobi (according to Jungkook) is the "leader in their private life." He's the one who is constantly taking care in the big but unenumerated ways. I don't mean this pejoratively but kind of in the way a "mom" does. Making sure the house is in order. He's secure and stable and safe and warm and supportive and he tends to all the many things that make day-to-day life a little easier. And he's the glue that brought and held the group together for years. The boys once called him a pillar holding up other pillars.

However, that doesn't exist anymore, so I get my fix through KPop, which is a 'total package' kind of entertainment, as Suga explained once. I was really missing beautifully choreographed numbers and swiping musicality and KPop is giving me that now

When Suga did his solo world tour as Agust-D he brought out his guitar with written messages on it from his BTS brothers showing to the world that wherever he went he brought his members with him. Even in their lives with Army it's always about looking forward to their reunion as a group coming together in 2025. The love and loyalty they have for each other is so heart warming 💜.

For them it's a 2 pronged attack (A) artist development and (B) bring new people into the BTS world. They'll got to each other MV shoots to encourage each other, attend each other's events to support each other and even be given a guest spot. They sometimes are hiding in each other's MV's and it's fun trying to spot them.

    About keeping themselves humble and down-to-earth, I think they often have serious conversations among themselves, such as the kind of artists they want to be and how to conduct themselves.
    In an early Suchwita episode with Taeyang, they talk about exactly this, how to keep themselves grounded amidst all the success. Taeyang said that he was surprised that the three members he had met -- RM, Jimin, and Suga -- all consistently talked about this.
    So it seems to me that they're all on the same page about things like this.

    November 13, 2017; RM wrote an announcement letter to ARMY via BTS' fancafe announcing that he changed his stage name from RapMonster or Rampon to RM...
    A little of the content of the announcement that RM made :
    ⬇️
    "Sometimes I lightly introduce myself with RapMon or RM instead of the full name, RapMonster. Therefore, I will officially change my stage name to RM, which I feel like goes along with the songs I want to create in the future and have a wider though perspective..."
    .........
    "My desire is to produce music from the heart, with a wider perspective without any restrictions..."
    Since then ARMY has never called him by his old stage name anymore...
    (but.....RM made an exception for his golden Maknae JK, because JK still finds it difficult to let go of RapMon which made him choose to join BigHit ➡️ in Bangtan B*mb; Jin reprimanded JK for still calling RM: RapMon Hyung, but JK said that it was very difficult and he would call RM by that for the rest of his life. Then RM answered: "You can call me whatever name you want,JK.." and they laugh..)

    they are also very philanthropic. Most of it are quietly done but they have the Love Yourself campaign they have had for several years now with UNICEF. We hear some of their donations when the beneficiaries talk about it so then they are leaked to the media. this is often around their birthdays.

    I love hearing you describe their personalities to your mom. (And, Max, you're TOTALLY ARMY at this point.)
    Regarding them and fame, I think you hit it on the nose. They're definitely aware of their influence (and the responsibility that comes with that), and of the sensation they make. But they're not proud *of themselves.* They're proud of ARMY. (Which is part of why we all love them so much.)

    Any of them could be solo artists if they wanted to, because they are so popular and so good individually. But they all choose to stay together anyways, because they know they're even better together, and they enjoy it much more together. So when it comes to solo careers, they seem to think that any member succeeding equals success for the group. I think that also explains the lack of jealousy.
    And yes, they donate lots to charities! But they rarely ever publicize them, which I find amazing - they don't do it for the attention. We only find out about them when/if the other parties publicize them. A few of their public things have been a million dollars for Black Lives Matter and a million for tour crews during Covid. And of course their campaigns with Unicef.

    Thank you for this reaction video! I’m 63 years old and became Army during Dynamite. If you go back to their early years, you’ll see how much they struggled and why they’re closer than brothers. Their enthusiasm is amazing and like many Army have mentioned, they donate A LOT to charity, mostly in secret.
    I think that in order to see more of their personalities, you should have Mom watch 1-2 episodes of Run BTS! Their energy is so chaotic but fun! You’ll be LOL.
    Hope to see you both at a concert in 2025 (or beyond)

    Actually, the initial plan was for the group to be a rap group built around RM. This may be part of the reason why he was chosen as leader. He was the first member chosen. I'm not sure about this but I heard the oldest is often the leader in K-Pop bands but not sure if that's true. RM is the 4th oldest but there is no better person to lead the group. RM is our president!

    • @evantesseract737
      @evantesseract737 Рік тому +1

      It used to be that the oldest would be the leader, but in BigHit & generally speaking HYBE labels the leaders are chosen by the team and company. They choose someone who will be a good leader. The younger leaders often say they look up to RM. 😁
      One of the theories behind not making the oldest the leader is that in Korean culture the oldest automatically has some responsibility because of that. If the leader is younger, you get two people with different types of responsibility, who can rely on each other. It seems to work really well, so more groups are operating this way now instead of just assuming the oldest should be in charge.
      The leader of Enhypen is one of the youngest members, but if you get to know them at all, it absolutely makes sense. He's rock solid under stress. 😁
      ...I think about this stuff a lot, it fascinates me!
      I do like the joke that HYBE just goes for leaders with dimples though 😁

    I find it interesting, knowing how much you react to BTS, and you were not sure of their charity work. It is amazing how much they actually do, but do not do it publicly. Sometimes it is years later that their works get leaked to the press, and it shocks everyone ( because we think we know EVERYTHING they do, and are so surprised when we find out that we don’t). There is an amazing video explaining the ARMY charities that will knock your socks off- seriously, you have no clue! The extent is mind blowing!

    BTS is also very charitable, members have been inducted into prestigious donation clubs due to this. They usually donate quietly but then the organizations have come out and announced the good they have done. The most recent i can think of is JHope donated to upgrade a local animal shelter. They're such great people and I cant even touch on everything they have done in a single comment💜

    For Mrs B, they are extremrly philanthropic, as a group and individually they have given millions to charity, and that is what is known because mostly they give discretely and we only know about those who have received have spoken about. Army also gives in their name too.
    They were recruited by Bang Si Hyuk who had a small management company. He was introduced to a very young RM who was an underground rapper and decided to make a hip hop group. He then ran auditions to find more artists, picking up Suga, another underground rapper, and Jhope a street dancer, who eventually learned to rap also. Then his plan changed and he decided to make it an idol/hip hop group finding vocalists through auditions.

      I somehow doubt it.
      He is choosing to try things but I'm under the impression he has also given up on them. He drabbles a little.
      Taehyung was once at list a "little" good with a Sax but I'm under the impression he hasn't played in years.
      I think the only thing Jimin can play on piano is Taeyang's "Wedding Dress" and he was taught to play a song on guitar recently (because of the Barbie movie and the gifted guitar).
      JK is also more the type that tries things, is good and looses interest.
      Yoongi and Jin do play the guitar - but i'm not sure Jin kept with it.
      Yoongi is very good with the paino/keyboard. it is also the center of "first love".
      It's diffcult to see what is done for show, who is good at what and what is "just" tried.

    Sorry, if this is not something you may want to do. But you should take a look at Xceleste's videos on intro to BTS, BTS hardships and intro to ARMY. It will bring a lot of perspective to BTS's BG. (But of course, for a deeper dive, The Rise of Bangtan would be a go-to series made by ARMY. She has 21 episodes starting from their pre-debut, up until 2020s I think. She also talks about K-Pop in general and why BTS is so different from other K-Pop groups in general, even if they are from SK).
    Hoping you find time for the 3 Xceleste's videos though. 💜

    In BTS artistically there is no jealousy but there is competition. They all recognise that they can learn from each other and are on individual journeys to get stronger. They have all stated so many times how their solo careers will make BTS stronger when they all get back together. Their ability to be collaborative is why they work so well with non BTS artists who generally fall a little in love with them. You never hear I'm not going to work with them again.

    hi Max! Cool that you obviously want to share these guys with your loved ones. I’m surprised though that you didn’t think of their work with UNICEF on the Love Yourself project as an example of their altruistic philosophy. Their impulse to protect vulnerable youths have motivated so many ARMYs. Many if not all of their songs seek to comfort those in pain/distress (Magic Shop; Butterfly, 1-2-3), their mission is to remind us that we’re not alone. (Whalien 52; save me/I’m fine) and to value and celebrate the individual however small we think we are (Love Yourself; Mikrokosmos).

    As far as charitable donations go, BTS had very discreetly donated 1 million dollars to Black Lives Matter, but if you know ARMY, you will find that they are better detectives than the NYC PD. They found out about it and within 24 hours matched BTS's original donation with their own 1 million dollars. That impressed me so much, my chin hit the floor. Also, they organize spontaneously to help out with natural disasters, like floods or earthquakes, they support poor communities and try to raise funds for education of children etc. Wherever ARMY is, they will do their best to follow BTS's example of being kind to each other and themselves and making little miracles happen worldwide. This is the most awesome fandom in the world and I am proud to be part of it and eternally grateful to BTS for leading the way.

    BTS are known for their philanthropic endeavors. Multiple members of the band have been inducted into prestigious donation clubs, such as the UNICEF Honors Club and the Green Noble Club, in acknowledgement of the size and frequency of their donations. They have also received awards for their donations, with one member receiving a Patron of the Arts Award for donations to the arts and BTS as a whole receiving a UNICEF Inspire Award for their Love Myself campaign. They often donate privately, with their patronage later being made public by the organizations they support and the media.

    They've worked hard to stay grounded. Two small things that demonstrate it:
    RM has said that he credits army with half of their success and himself with only 5% and that it helps him stay grounded. He always, always emphasizes the work of the team that is BTS, not only their members, but the rest of the staff.
    And something that made me fall for JK way back: he bows deeply to venue staff. 90 degree bows to the cleaners. There are stories from janitorial staff who ran into him in the bathroom and he thanked them for their hard work. It might seem small, but going out of your way to express gratitude to the people who are most often overlooked - it just delights me. He likes being famous (I mean, not the stalking part, but the getting to work with Usher part for sure), but I'm certain he still treats everyone on set like they matter.
    Also, if they were ever internally competitive or jealous, we didn't see it. It's always been everyone trying to help each other improve. They've admired each other's strengths, but there's never even been a hint of any of them resenting each other's success.

    Instead of thinking "You get all the attention", Bts rather thinks like "If you shine bright on your on, you shine more light on us all". And since they're basically brothers they get extremely proud if a member achieved something.
    Also they donated throughout the years as a group and also by themselfs. Most of these donations aren't even mentioned to the puplic and we only find out when media organisations mention the details. One of the most well known once is the collab between Bts and UNICEF as well as thi time when Bts donated 1 Million Dollars to Black Lives Matter and Army managed to match their donation, raising another 1 Million Dollars in less then 24 hours. Army also makes charity projects by themselfs

    A new documentary came out on Disney in January. These young men talked about changes in their lives when they won the AMAs. For example, they were startled at the presence of so many security guards. In an In the Soop in 2021, J-Hope says to V "Be careful there, you're worth millions of dollars." He was joking, but not joking. It was a slow awareness. 2016-17 is when they began winning all the big awards at American and Korean shows, year after year until they went on hiatus and into the military. JK beat Taylor Swiift out of the #1 spot on hot 100 after he had entered the military, and was voted Male Artist of the Year at Golden Globes, but he still misses his hyungs.
