    Welcome to those who are new (almost all of you haha). I am so completely overwhelmed by the love and support y’all are showing! I am very busy which may make uploads kinda random, but the motivation y’all have given me will help a lot towards my videos. I plan to make every other video/every two videos BTS so keep on the look out. Again, thank you so much! Army is the best! 💜

    No one has ever been more surprised to be a BTS fan than me. I am 71 years old. I never liked rap and couldn't imagine being interested in a group from Korea, but here I am. Two years in and still on fire for them. I have such admiration for all of them. They habe worked so hard for their success. One thing to remember is when they say JungKook was 15 when he started, he was really only 13 when he moved to Seoul to live in that tiny apartment with the rest of them. Jin became his stand in Mom. He got him ready for school and got him there on time. Jin was 18 at the time.

    Don't listen to the haters. Typically they are haters because they are jealous. Always make the decision for yourself. The BTS members are not only talented, they are an amazing group of men who strive to do good for the world and help others. I am so happy you watched this video. I would suggest you watch The Rise of Bangtan. It's 21 Chapters but well worth your time. You will learn the history of K-pop and see the BTS from before debut to now. It's an incredible series.

    Welcome to the BTS rabbit hole. Update they now have over 1000 awards. All awards are kept at Hybe headquarters in the BTS museum. Jin is currently a private first class in the Korean Military. JHope just got his enlistment date. Suga is heading for a world concert tour as Agust D (sold out) then will start his enlistment process. Jimin just dropped his first Solo Studio Album. Each member will finish their solo work then will enlist in the military for their manditory services. If everything goes according to plan BTS will regroup in 2025/2026. 💜💜💜 To learn more you should watch Xcelest's The Hardship of BTS from 2013-2021. You mentioed they seem close like family they are. They notice when one member is missing they don't feel complete. An example of how much they love each other when JHope was headlining Lollapalooza 2022 he wasn't doing well by himself. Hybe staff mentioned this to Jimin who just hopped a plane and arriving the day before before JHope was to perform just so JHope wasn't alone and he could eat and sleep. There is so much content to watch and you get to see their personalities and how truely humble and kind they really are.

    Most of the info is accurate, but a few things HAVE changed due to their mandatory military enlistment (all men in SK between certain ages MUST complete 18 months in service (depending on the service) including musicians, actors etc. exemptions can only be granted under specific circumstances such as medical conditions or if the male is the breadwinner for his family. Jin has been enlisted since December, with Jhope following soon. In the meantime, each member is undertaking solo activities. Also, since May last year, their trophy count (group achievements as well as solo) is now over 900

    Hi Garrett, thank you for having an open mind about BTS. I had the same opinion as you before I dove down the rabbit hole 3 years ago. I'm already 60 years old but I love these boys like my own children bec they have helped me during some of my difficult times in life with their songs & lyrics, their funny & goofy personalities, especially their crackhead videos that cheer me up when I'm lonely. Their lyrics push me not to give up and just fight. I owe my happiness tp them. Hope you enjoy your dive into BTS

    Greetings from Australia... Thank you for sharing your BTS journey with us..... Not sure if you know.... Korean people count age differently to others...
    Korean Age vs International Age - difference is 1-2 years depending on if their birthday has been.... In most videos, including this one, they are giving Korean ages so you will need to adjust.
    (So JK was only 13 when he joined Big Hit and 15 when he debuted. )
    In Korea when you are born you are considered 1 year old. Then on 01 Jan every year you add another year to your age, no matter what your birthdate is. ....
    Year of birth - Actual age at Debut on 13June13 (Year and age became trainee)
    Jin 1992 - 20 yo (2011 - 18yo)
    Suga 1993- 20 yo (2011 - 17yo)
    JHope 1994 - 19 yo (2011 - 17yo)
    RM 1994 - 18 yo (2010 - 15yo)
    Jimin 1995 - 17 yo (2012 - 16yo)
    V 1995 - 17 yo (2011 - 15yo)
    JK 1997 - 15 yo (2011 - 13yo)
    Rule of thumb - if it's before their birthday - subtract 2 years to get international age. if it's after their birthday - subtract 1 year to get their international age.
    EG: TaeHyung (V) born 30 Dec 1995 ...... current International Age 27 (Korean Age 29). ... 2 years difference
    So Tae born 30 Dec 95 is 1 year old, then on 01 Jan 96 he is 1 more year older (so they would say he is 2 years old, when we would say he is 2 days old.)
    So he was considered 29 in Korea since 01 January, we would say he is 27 turning 28 in Dec.
    It's a different way of looking at age, from new years day - Tae is living his 29th year (since conception) - instead of - he turned 27 (since birth)....
    The Korean Government is recently bringing international age as the standard in Korea, but all older videos will be referencing Korean age.
    💜Borahae

    If you're interested in more history of the hardships and hatred they have faced and how they have overcome it and persevered through it there's a great video by XCeleste called BTS Hardships. Another one would like to see you react to.
    It's okay for you to call yourself ARMY whenever you feel comfortable with that. Since you are new to the ARMY You might have some people referring to you affectionately as Baby ARMY. But that's okay.
    I'm a 65-year-old male army and have been a fan of much music over the years but never called myself a member of any fandom until now. So proud to say I'm an ARMY.

    I am 75....an elder ARMY! I first discovered BTS on April 13, 2019 when they performed on Saturday Night Live. They did BOY WITH LOVE and MIKE DROP. It's said that you don't find BTS...they find you....when you need them. I was caring for my daughter who was dying of cancer. Their music helped me get through that difficult time. Their song ON was my fight song when I needed strength to carry on. Then when my daughter died they gave me LIFE GOES ON. I know that I am only one of millions of ARMYs, but I feel like BTS wrote some of their music just for me. Welcome to ARMY!

    I have loved watching you getting to know these amazing young men and become baby ARMY. I too, used to just assume KPop would be like a Korean version of Backstreet Boys even though my daughter said they weren't. It took me 2 more years before I started to listen. The fateful day was in Sept 2020. I was feeling very low because of being cooped up and separated from friends due to COVID. I suddenly heard a beautiful song playing in the kitchen. My daughter had her music on loud while washing up. I learnt shortly after the song was called The Truth Untold and even though I couldn't understand the lyrics I could feel the sad and hurt emotions in their voices and the then V's voice sang in English "I'm so afraid" and it really made my heart melt. I then asked about them and my daughter loved teaching me who was who. BTS brought amazing joy to the house despite the pandemic and really reconnected my daughters and me. Our relationships are so much stronger. Watch any episode of Run BTS or behind the scenes and they have you laughing along in seconds, they are so goofy. Great role models for my children too as they promote togetherness, acceptance, love yourself, kindness and hard work. All this while making unbelievably good music.
    The storyline runs through many albums and from 2015 and is still not finished. It is called the Bangtan Universe or BU and starts with the MV for I Need You. If you want to delve deeper ARMY can help guide you to the correct sequence of content. It is complex and long, and includes a webtoon, notes, and a mobile game! Or you can cheat and watch an explanation video 😂
    I recommend BTS Festa Room Live 2021 next. It is a medley of snippets from several of their B sides and really showd their musical diversity. It might help you to where to start. Borahae

And I will definitely add that last recommendation to the list, y’all have been so helpful with all these great suggestions! Thank you so much!!

    They are truly wonderful boys. At almost 52, I never dreamed I would be into a Korean boy band, but here I am. If you ever get to see them live, do it! They spare no expense. It feels like you are a part of the show. The whole stadium feels like family. It is like there are no strangers there. I traveled from Alaska, by myself (I don’t do that), to see them in Vegas. To meet so many Army in person was amazing. So many bring trinkets they have made to give to each other. I am so thankful to have gone.

Each member brings their own set of talents to the group which makes them unbeatable. It is said that BTS finds you when you need them most and this is so very true for millions of fans including myself. In them, I have found a family of chaotic, genuine, humble, beautiful souls. Their music touches my soul and they LITERALLY saved my life with the song Magic Shop. That was my introduction to BTS and I have never felt more loved.

    In an interview with Jimin:
    When the tracklist of the album was revealed, many noticed that the prerelease single was designed as “pt. 2” despite the fact that Jimin doesn’t have any existing songs to his name titles “Set Me Free”. He confirmed that it’s a nod to a track on bandmate Suga’s second mixtape D2. “Their isn’t a connection, and we weren’t trying to divide one of two part,” he explains. “But since it turns out my song talks about freedom and moving forward, and Suga’s song talks about some of the stories that come before, I thought it would be good to come after that.”

    Jimin just released a song called Set Me Free Pt. 2, if you react to new releases in a timely fashion it will help you get better traffic to your channel. I suggest watching the music vid + dance practice vid, they're both very good. There's also a "behind the scenes" vid for how they shot the music vid, if you're interested in seeing that.
    Their rapper RM also just released a new feature a few days ago, Smoke Sprite by So Yoon ft. RM.
    For any group BTS song music vid, there is usually a corresponding dance practice vid. It makes for a more satisfying experience to watch both. Mic Drop that you reacted to also has a very cool dance practice vid (choose the one titled MAMA dance break ver.), they include a cool dance break in the middle.

    Time stamp 3:51-That is President Kim Nam-joon and his cabinet member's!
    Time stamp 3:55- So this clip is from a show created by MNet, (an asian broad casting company?) called American Hustle Life. It was a mini series of sorts that followed baby BTS to Las Angelas where they had a two week Hip-Hop boot camp, (basically) and it was a way for them to learn, (from the source) of their love for Hip-Hop music and culture, it includes them working and learning from the likes of Warren G and Coolio. At the end of the show they had to put on a free to the public concert, this is them handing out flyer's to promote that concert. For me this clip is can be a tiny bit misleading because many people learning about BTS may see this as what they had to do on a daily basis to gain notice when that is not the case.
    Thank you for your reaction and your sincerity. I hope you continue down the rabbit hole and I hope that if you are ever having a bad day, just think of BTS or look up some of their funny content. I guarantee they will help you. There's so much more I could say about them but I'm not trying to write a novel.
    I would also suggest you watch Xceleste's introduction video. This one is good for learning about each individual where as her's gives a good overview of the band as a whole, such as the meaning behind their name and their relationship with ARMY, I think they pair together very well.
    Time stamp 24:27-Yup they have a story line called the BU (Bangtan Universe) that runs through the albums, which is a whole nother rabbit hole!
    They do wear colored contacts quite frequently.
    Thank you for giving them a chance, so often they are written off as a typical Western American/British boy band, (usually because the west has been mostly exposed to their song's like Butter, Dynamite( Written by David Stewart and Jessica Agombar and produced by Stewart) and Permission to dance (Written by Ed Sheeran). These songs were written completely in English and were light and catchy on purpose in order to sooth as many people as possible during the pandemic.

      I’m so glad you explained the flyer handouts cause that is misleading. And I will definitely check out the BU once I’m more comfortable with the overall band haha. I’ve been getting some suggestions for xCeleste so I will react to some of her videos soon! I have heard both Dynamite and Butter (which is why I’m not going to react to those to keep it authentic), but I knew that those weren’t their best work. I know they write a lot of their own songs that sound great because it’s their own! Thank you for watching!

    3 - Hobi (J-Hope) has no bones.

    Hi Garrett! This was a great video and I feel like you’ll really enjoy this journey so I’m subbing. A few things I wanted to say (sorry if this gets long).
    Firstly, “they’re probably the biggest boyband” they’re actually the biggest music act in the world, like, by the numbers. Bigger than Taylor Swift, Drake, Beyonce, any other western artist you can name. It’s shocking to hear because they are criminally underrated but it’s actually true lol.
    Second, thank you for acknowledging your past dislike of them and where it came from. I’ve also been a bandwagon hater and it takes guts and maturity to move past that. 💜
    I also wanted to let you know if you’re going to be reacting to any new releases (I see army reccing them in the comments) then you’re supposed to wait at least 24 hours after the release to post your video. That rule exists so you don’t draw streams away from the official video during a crucial time. ARMYs are very serious about streaming and this is important to us. A lot more people will enjoy your videos and sub if they can see you’re a respectful person who is truly interested in BTS message instead of one of many, many reactors hopping on the hype train for clout.
    I’m so excited for you, because like objectively speaking BTS is f$$$ing dope and if you keep watching their stuff your mind will be blown. They will never stop surprising you. I’m 33 and I love music, like, all kinds of music. I’ve been to big stadium concerts, music festivals, small punk shows, and everything in between. I have NEVER seen anything like this group of artists. They will destroy any concepts you have about music and the music industry. Never try to put them in a box, trust me. And you can appreciate them and be a fan, but it’ll be a while before you’re an ARMY lol. You should at the very least hear more than one song, and be able to recognize them by name and face and voice.
    Just trust ARMY to guide you. Know that anything they recommend is gonna be fire. Some songs have explanation videos that you’re really going to want to watch with them. Also live performances, if you can believe it, they’re actually better live. Never forget to turn on the captions. The lyrics are an extremely important part of the package. (Although some stuff like certain lives and dance practice videos won’t have lyrics). ONLY PUT ON THE LYRICS IF THEY’RE THE ENGLISH ONES, NEVER USE AUTO TRANSLATE.
    Please let me know if you would like any suggestions or help navigating this journey.💜💜💜💜

    Hi there, thank you for reaching to the guys.. Let's see if we can help you a little more..57 yr old Army here. Watched these guys grown from teenagers into some of the most humble talented gifted artist and young men the world has to offer💜 The vlives are so much fun.. RM just comes and hangs out with us
    Yoongi comes and usually gives us such uplifting words J-Hope usually dances for us Jin cooks and eats with us
    JK takes song requests and gives us a mini show
    V does so many different things, sometimes he sings, sometimes it's just about connecting with us and sharing.. He has such an old soul and he's so funny and unpredictable
    Jimin builds arts n crafts with us
    RM is a lyrical genius, especially the way he uses wordplay even between languages, composes using different beats flows rhythms.. He's also the only one who does not have a driver's license
    Yoongi is my bias and I love how he's so savage.. He seems like a very cold and distant person but he's very caring and loving, he's such an introvert and a phenomenal genius when it comes to making music
    J-Hope is a phenomenal dancer and headlined at Lollapalooza last year. Hobi is the sunshine of the group
    Jin was cast on the street getting off the bus that's true, it has happened twice to him... He did not sing or dance at all before he became a trainee..
    Jungkook was only 13/14 when he joined as a trainee, he loves his brothers and Army so very much, loves to take risks, he's pitch perfect and talented in so many things. He's called the "golden maknae"because he's just good at everything he does🤷
    V was hidden because the company feared he would be approached by other companies because of his striking good looks.V's voice is like a river of melted chocolate and his vocal range is amazing. He loves jazz and he feels like an old soul to me. He's very spontaneous.
    Jimin is pure perfection when he dances, the feelings and emotions he's able to protray is amazing. He also had the shortest time as a trainee, around 7 months only.
    The most amazing part of army singing Young Forever is that every Army knew all the words and they sang in Korean..
    My advice is now that you've watched the guide go back and start at the beginning with No More Dream and We are Bulletproof... On another note.. The reaper that talked smack at the beginning to RM and Suga, well he's in prison and our guys changed the world💜💜💜💜💜

    Oh my God! Thank you for reacting to the video I recommended 💜 I loved your reaction, and I'm glad you got even more interested in the BTS boys. They are truly amazing and have worked really hard to get to where they are today, so I admire them a lot and appreciate their work and music so much.
    And yes, you can now consider yourself an Army! hahaha I met them and started following their work about 1 year ago, so I still consider myself a baby Army, although I've already listened to almost all of their albums, and watched a good part of their content, but since BTS has a huge amount of content, I still have a lot to discover haha
    By the way, now I'm trying to catch up on the episodes of RUN BTS, I'm halfway there, but recently they recorded new episodes for this year. I recommend watching it because it allows us to discover even more about each one and their personalities, who they are in their daily lives and the way they live with each other. I would love to see your reaction to some episodes, they are really fun! I'll leave a link as a suggestion for you to react, a preview of the entertainment hahaha and it's also a challenge:
    ua-cam.com/video/sMSh6OKOuB8/v-deo.html
    ☝🏻 It's a compilation of some fun Run BTS moments, a "try not to laugh" challenge
    I keep the list of suggestions from my other comment, but I want to add Jimin's new song that he recently released. It's called Set Me Free Pt 2, and it will be on his first solo album that he will release on the 24th of this month, Friday!!! I'll leave the MV link, it's absurdly amazing!
    ua-cam.com/video/UaywgAqcLxI/v-deo.html
    I'll be following your channel and waiting for more videos reacting to BTS, believe me, you're at the beginning of the beginning, they have more than 300 songs with incredible, true, inspiring and relatable lyrics and messages. I can't wait to see you discovering and becoming more and more a part of the Army! See you later!

    I never thought to ask about where they keep 700+ awards. At that point, you don't just have a trophy room. You'd have to have a hoarders den just full of trophies stacked on top of each other. I bet their label houses them.
    The ironic part is that while BTS are humble kings who appreciate the honor of receiving awards and accolades, we know from watching Run BTS episodes that they'd all rather receive food or gift cards instead of trophies.

    Always, always really excited when anybody sits down to watch this. I have watched maybe about 30 reactions only 3 did I not watch to the end. This is the only guide lets you see behind the scenes and it gives you an idea how they managed to stay together over 10 years and live together most of that. Naturally hilarious their brotherhood alleviates the stress of the punishingly hard schedules of the hardest working most prolific super group. I will say in recent years J Hope has emerged as a power house. Sold out the main stage Lollapalooza over 100 000 not including pay for view online viewers watching it live. The concert oc his debut album broke all records. Despite known for his dancing skills this featured little dancing by Hope instead concentrating on his electrifying Jack in yhe Box album and the insane set design and live band. If you like rap it's a must see online.

    If anyone mocks your BTS journey, know that you are among doctors, lawyers, psychologists, and even NASA engineers.

      I wouldn’t say “not connected” because while it wasn’t intentional it does in a story kind of way and also while Jimin says it doesn’t connect (in my opinion he meant it was intentional being like part 1&2) but he does mention how Suga’s is like the feeling/emotions you feel before Jimin’s Set Me Free. Hopefully this makes sense. In a interview with Jimin:
      When the tracklist of the album was revealed, many noticed that the prerelease single was designed as “pt. 2” despite the fact that Jimin doesn’t have any existing songs to his name titles “Set Me Free”. He confirmed that it’s a nod to a track on bandmate Suga’s second mixtape D2. “Their isn’t a connection, and we weren’t trying to divide one of two part,” he explains. “But since it turns out my song talks about freedom and moving forward, and Suga’s song talks about some of the stories that come before, I thought it would be good to come after that.”
      Anyways just my thoughts and opinion though. (No hate)

    I'm so glad you decided to open up your mind and give them a chance despite your prior "dislike" towards them. I used the quotes because I believe you didn't really start off having an actual opinion of BTS but rather built a wall before you even knew much at all about them and, as your said, jumped on the "hate bandwagon".
    It seems you were also very young when you became aware of the guys so it could just mean you've matured and that's why your initial hatred seems silly now. Welcome to the rabbithole💜I've been in for the past 8 years and there seems to be no going back :')

    also, when you do end up finding the time to react to more of bts, i would recommend starting from the beginning - their debut song, No More Dream.
    at the moment, as they are on a temporary break due ro compulsory military service, they are each working on individual albums!
    RM, j-hope and Jimin have all released theirs - Jimin actually released his (FACE) on friday!!
    they also have a show called Run BTS, which is great if u wanna get to know the members as people rather than artists.
    I hope u have fun :)
