Just a little fact, not being boastful but when you enter the fandom, stan bts, you'll learn about music industry, fashion industry, businesses, etc. That's why we are not just a fandom who stan an artist.
we all know X Celeste. She has been like a friend to fans for years. We traveled with her to Korea via her vlogs and laughdr together over theories and meaning of lyrics. I have thought she and JRE were the face of kpop fans and ARMY for years. Bless you and thank you XC
Dynamite was their first and only Grammy nomination. However, they should have been nominated long ago tbh. Persona was the best selling album of 2019 and they didn't even get a nomination.
I think BTS didn't do bundles because they make music to make music, not to make history. That just happens on its own lol. RM was asked why they give so much of their solo work for free and he commented that they make enough money as a group -- the extra music are gifts. How they approach music and their fans is the main reason that I support them so much. They're thankful for the love they receive, but they're also just...real.
ARMY is the most knowledgeable fandom I know in the workings of the music industry. We become experts in journalistic media, radio and billboard calculations, award academies, social phenomena and injustice, etc. - all because International ARMYs are BTS's publicists, translators, and promoters since the Western industry won't acknowledge their worth and do it for them.
The last time they were on Karaoke Carpool in 2020, they said they still live together after 8-10 years. Some bought their own places but it seems like they still live together in a dorm at the most expensive area during their busy schedules.
I really recommend THE RISE OF BANGATAN series. It's a fanmade series but it's seriously so professionally made that it could be an official documentary. It shows BTS' journey all the way from the beginning. We're on episode 10 right now, going on 2015
I’m a 64 year old white guy from Philly and I love BTS.... the messages in the songs are very thoughtful and current.... plus you can watch 5 different videos and you would think they are not the same group and of course they can all kill it as solo artists.... never seen anything like them in my lifetime
56, ARMY almost 3 years now. I've seen almost every artist/group live, fan of many! But I've never experienced anything like BTS either!! I absolutely love them!
I’m 62 and started loving everything about them in 2017. I just happen to see them perform on the AMAs which was their first performance on an American award show and I’ve been into them ever since. I wonder if I didn’t see them on the AMAs when and if I would have found out about them. Now they are a huge part of my life on a daily basis not just their music but every part of them. I feel like I know them each personally which is hard to do given how globally popular they are. But that’s how they are with their fans. I’m pretty sure my friends think i have gone crazy. Even my daughter at first didn’t get it but now she understands it at least. She even went with me to their concert at Staples Center. She said it was the best concert she’s ever been to. You will not believe how much I spent for those tickets since it was impossible to get a tickets the usual way. Becoming a fan changed my life so much and makes me even feel young. It’s so fun to be an elder ARMY. I feel lucky and grateful to have found out about them. They deserve all the love that they get.
Korean marketing is top notch. Groups release multiple versions of the same album with different concepts. You don’t just get a CD. You get photo books, stickers, photo cards, postcards, posters. It’s super fun unboxing your album bc you are excited to see what you’re going to get. I’m 49 and still buy multiple copies of the albums for the different versions. Its satisfying to get a photo card of your bias. No western artist is marketing albums like this. So, even if you never use the cd and stream all of your music, you still buy the album.
BTS from nobodies to legend by Celeste...Who is bts(history of bts)...the motivational success story of bts..a good help for you to know them better...thank you very much,i really love bts very much too...BTS FOREVER,TAEKOOK FOREVER!
Actually, with the new ARMY census, we know that the over 50 age group is much larger, 20% of the fan base. From my perspective at both MetLife shows, the crowd had a very high percentage of over 50.
Big Hit is the label. They’ve grown so much as a company that they’re Hybe now and Big Hit is under Hybe. Tomorrow by Together (TXT) is another group managed by Big Hit. Enhypen is the newest addition. They were formed from a survival show, I-land, where Big Hit was one of the main label. They debuted under BE: LIFT, but they’re under Hybe as well, and many of them trained in Big Hit. Hybe owns many other companies, so they have Gfriend, Nuest, and Seventeen now, but those weren’t originally Big Hit. Only BTS, TXT and Enhypen are originally formed and managed by Big Hit, now Hybe.
A small addition. Originally, Big Hit managed (and still does!) two other solo artists, Lee Hyun and Bumzu (who is also a producer and helped out recently on Jin's solo song, Abyss.) You could see all of Big Hit's (now HYBE) artists during the online New Year's Eve Live concert (minus Seventeen who were previously engaged.)
@@lisasenglishconversationcl3582 I know, but he asked for groups if I’m not mistaken. Basically anyone who participated in the new year’s concert is under Big Hit/Hybe. Not to mention they recently bought Ithaca Holdings so they now manage Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande and Demi Lovato. Talk about globalization!
Big Hit also manages TXT, BTS's junior group. They debuted 2019. Big Hit also aquired two other companies Source Music and Pelidis Entertainment. The groups Gfriend, Nuest, and Seventeen are all under Big Hit, but still managed by their own respective companies.
"The Rise of Bangtan" on the channel of the same name has a lot of good info as well. Each video is about 25 to 35 minutes long and details the history of the band as a whole and the members individually.
I am 52. Loved many artists throughout the years but never joined any fandom; every artist sounded repetitive in the end, however much I loved them. I could never buy an albums before BTS and preferred to pick and choose the few songs I liked. BTS collided with my life nearly 3 years ago and I fell in love with their lyrics, music, passion, their artistry and ultimately genuine, humble attitude. I became ARMY a couple of years ago and I have never been part of a community like this. Yes, we have a few bad apples (look up the theory of the 1%) but overall, this fandom is mind blowing in its variety and inclusivity. Have fun falling in the rabbit hole. We love watching people fall for these 7 unbelievable artists, staggering performers, masters of their craft.
I can’t wait to see you react to The Rise of Bangtan (the docuseries) there’s 10 episodes at the moment. Literally the most well-made fan-made series I’ve seen
I dont think they live in the dorm, the HQ probably has places for them to sleep but I am sure they live separately (aside from JK and Jimin I am sure they live together)
i think they live together when they have schedules like jin, rm and jimin went live before grammies from their dorm(rm trolled the wifi speed in hannam hills), but when they have free time they shuttle between the dorm and their own house. Then again the security in Hannam hills is insane no one can get in without id's and prior permission so it is better if they live together. upto our knowledge they still live together. RM's hometown is literally 10-15 min far from their dorm, jin's too ig. So they shuttle around ig.
@@ot7stan207 Please keep ships in the appropriate forums. Don't bring speculations into this kind of discussion. Especially since homosexuality is very frowned upon in S. Korea. 🙏
they still live together ..even in their latest vlive jin,rm and jimin you will know ..maybe if they had no schedule they go to their families or if they want had some privacy.. i know jk sold his apartment and stayed in dorm (as far as i know) and V bought house in seoul for his family
As it should be, honestly. Fan's obsessions over whether they still live together or not is so unhealthy. They did and it was humble and great and now they deserve some privacy.
Following bts I’ve learned so much about so many industries! The fandom is so educated on so many topics and take the time to explain them, especially the music industry and business.
I recommend xCeleste's Guide to ARMY. It gives a pretty good insight into how diverse and powerful the fandom is, and why we consider ourselves part of a global movement.
HYBE Labels ( BTS are now shareholders for the company ) This is the entertainment and music production division. Prior to the rebranding, it was known as Big Hit Labels. Subsidiaries within the division operate independently of Hybe Corporation but receive creative support. (BIGHIT MUSIC/BIGHIT ENT.) - BTS Are Now Shareholders For Their Agency, Big Hit Entertainment - BTS - TXT - Lee Hyun (soloist) BELIFT LAB (co-managed by CJ E&M) - Enhypen (SOURCE MUSIC) - GFriend (PLEDIS ENTERTAINMENT) - *As of May 25, 2020 Big Hit became Pledis’ major shareholder, but Pledis will continue to act as an independent label - Seventeen - NU'EST - Bumzu (soloist) - Nana (Singer and actress) - Kyulkyung (Chinese singer and actress) KOZ ENTERTAINMENT - Zico ( rapper, record producer, singer and songwriter.) - DVWN ( South Korean singer and songwriter ) - HYBE LABELS JAPAN (HYBE SOLUTIONS) - the business unit of the company The "solutions" division is made up of specialized business units for video content, IP, learning, and games. Secondary and tertiary businesses are created based on the creative output of each label. - HYBE 360 - HYBE IP - HYBE Edu - Superb - HYBE Solutions Japan - HYBE T&D Japan HYBE Platforms (Weverse App) - serves as a hub for connecting and expanding all of Hybe's contents and services.
I think you can definitely reach out to Xceleste, she always seems really nice and she makes great videos. Sometimes she also does interviews with people who have worked with the boys. It will be great if you both can talk!
I really recommend watching Kpop history (from DKDKTV) and maybe first one or two episodes of Rise of Bangtan just for general understanding of the cultural context of kpop and musical industry in South Korea. It's just so different to the way Western music is organized you can't truly appreciate how much BTS is both a product and a revolutionary of that system.
Now watch WHO IS BTS...It is a little out dated, however it will introduce you to each member....they are all different and each bring something to the team. They are simply incredible.
They have an updated version which is excellent. Who is BtS by Ida S. Goes into each member and their accomplishments and talks about their songwriting/ producing credits. It’s really well done, professional level.
I believe this is what Aileen is referring to... The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS by Asian Theory. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/82AXPlMFL6w/v-deo.html Looking forward to see your reaction to this video.
and now HYBE LABELS / BIGHIT bought ITHACA HOLDING company, a management company that houses artists like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato and more. in collaboration with UMG (universal music group)
BTS publishes an annual video with the year in review and a look forward and you can hear a lot of strategy and analytics for Big Hit as an organization. I find them fascinating.
Speaking about Mr.Bang Shi Hyuk. He's the best. He believed in them and be there for them when nobody was. I really respect Mr.Bang so much. Not only BTS he's been treating all other artists in the company so well. I like how Mr.Bang always encouraged them to participated in writing or composing because he can see the potential in them. And last October, he made BTS a shareholders of the agency. BTS are now partical owners of the agency. They owns $108 million of the agency. The fact that BTS are already listed by Forbes 100 highest paid artists ranking at no.43 in 201 , now they becomes more rich rich. It's so crazy.
- The boys do have their own places but also share a dorm together where they reside together specially during comeback seasons. We don't know much details as their private lives are kept private. - Bighit has another group called TXT. In the past few years they have also partially acquired few more labels under them like source music, pledis, Koz, ithaca holdings (American) etc. - BTS or their company do not want to sell music via unfair means. Be it bundles or payola.
Big Hit became Hybe and expanded to include other entertainment vehicles beyond music. Hybe just purchased Ithaca Holdings from Scooter Braun. Ithaca manages Bieber, Ariana Grande, JBalvin and Demi Lovato to name a few. Fans are looking forward to future collabs with these artists. 2021 was their first Grammy nomination. Their new single "Butter" will be their 2nd all English song after "Dynamite". Fans are looking forward to the 2022 Grammy's to say the least!
This documentary about BTS is very good too - The Rise Of Bangtan : this is part 1 : ua-cam.com/video/QxAmkAwIEeY/v-deo.html Or you can check from Asian Theory channel : A Story Of BTS : ua-cam.com/video/82AXPlMFL6w/v-deo.html
I'm so happy you are digging a little deeper because I have a feeling you will appreciate what they have achieved and how they have stayed so very humble and true to themselves and one another despite thise that did whatever they could to stifle them. As for living together, its become a hot topic these days. Some have separate apt. some don't or we don't know because its not our business. But it seems when they have a lot going on they stay at their dorm and we know V and JHopp at least have places in the same building and Jimin and JK have bought homes nearby. OH!! And HYBE (aka BigHit) was just named as one of Time Magazine's most influential companies!! And Billboard had banned bundles as of this year!! 💜
Hi Jacob, Thank you so much for watching this video and learning about BTS. Part of the reason why this is important is because it adds to the appreciation of the music they create and perform. You honestly cannot go wrong with following what BTS does. Even if it's not quite your thing, there is always something to learn from both BTS, Bighit (now called Hybe) and ARMY. As a fan, you learn about literature, mythology, psychology etc because they cover these topics and leave for you to unfold from their lyrics or their music videos (Blood, Sweat and Tears has so much symbolism it's no joke. You'd miss it without watching an explanation video). If you are into business, strategy, management, Bighit is such an awesome company that they have been able to grow from near bankruptcy to going public and no acquiring different companies to make up different components that will help them as music company. They've acquired labels, talent management companies, app companines, production, gaming companies etc. As for BTSxARMY, our fandom is very well researched. We've had to break so many barriers to give a Korean group the opportunities they have deserved and nonetheless seized. ARMY researches rules of different things such as charting on Billboard and all other awards and endeavors they've taken to ensure that we can participate in their success. Again, thank you so much for being open to BTS and recognize the amazing skills and talents they have. BTW, xCeleste is an awesome member of the fandom who just happens to also make great videos just for the love of BTS. You can react to her other videos and you would find inspiration from BTS for their hard work and passion for music and performance. Also, for a quick breakdown of who each member is and their role in the group, please react to "Who is BTS: the 7 members of Bangtan." by Suga & Spice. It's a bit outdated but is still a great summary and introduction of the members. Please continue to react and learn from BTS and I hope you feel inspired with your own music as you watch their story continue.
Yes! xCelepte interview is great idea!! I like her from nobody to Legend video,too! Also, to know about each member and remember them Who is BTS? The seven member of Bangtan is great video to watch!
LOL, I am so glad that you watched this. I just posted on your last video that I wish you would watch something about the artist themselves, and three minutes later you granted my wish LOL
I really appreciate you watching this video, Xceleste produced great contents like this of BTS, It would be so nice if you take time to watch her latest video about BTS struggles and hardships because through this way you get to understand why ARMYs are so passionate and protective towards BTS. For me as an ARMY, Xceleste videos helped me a lot in getting deeper understanding about BTS and why they love ARMYs so much....Thank you Jacob for watching this....💜🤗
Weverse includes multiple BigHit/Hybe artists. You can essentially join whichever artist community you are a fan of and it is a private social media site for just them and the fans who joined that community. They will post there similarly to how Twitter works, but they tend to be more free with what they post in Weverse because of the more insular environment. They also will actually respond to fan posts. You should have seen them on Weverse after the Grammy's 😅 They were making a concerted effort to calm ARMY down.
BTS since 2011 have already live under a one roof... they're still trainees that time.. they debuted 2013.. so, they're living together for 10years.. they have their own house but they prefer to live together..
Rosan (xCeleste) has a podcast with Jose Ochoa, another popular ARMY UA-camr. She lives in Vegas, but I think would be quite amenable to be interviewed for you channel.
Early 2020, RM said they all still live together (and have lived together for a decade), but who knows if that has changed and/or if that's a 24/7 thing. They own their own properties, so maybe not, but at the same time, they say stuff like "you need to live with me forever" and there has been a lot of recent footage of them in their dorm (read: luxury apartment) so idk.
Big hit went from near bankruptcy to just last week buying (half the western music industry) “Ithaca holdings ” from Scooter Braun for 1 billion dollars! All of which would never have been possible if it weren’t for The Success of BTS. So proud of them! 🥲
While Big Hit manages more bands now, at the time when BTS debuted, they were the only band under their label. I think there was 2 other bands, but they were in hiatus. For awhile, BTS was the only band Big Hit managed, until 2019.
Aside from BTS, BigHit also manages TXT (BTS’s junior group) and Lee Hyun (soloist). BigHit Music, used to be known as BigHit Entertainment, is now under HYBE Labels which consists of a number of subsidiaries other than BigHit Music. Belift Lab manages Enhypen, Source Music manages G-Friend, Pledis manages Seventeen, Nuest, Bumzu, Nana, Kyulkyung, Yehana and Sungyeon, KOZ Entertainment manages Zico and DVWN. HYBE Labels also recently bought Ithaca Holdings through Hybe America. The founder and CEO of the whole corporation is still of course Bang Sihyuk.
You should watch BTS CRASH COURSE 2020 for more info about their music and WHO IS BTS for info about the members individually. The latter is very outdated, but still the best one we have right now.
I think the reason why BTS appeals to all ages is because they discuss subject matter in their music people of all ages and backgrounds can relate to. No they've never won a grammy yet and this year was the first nomination. But they've won billboard music awards, american music awards, and Video Music Awards.
Reach out to Xceleste... she has sooo much info...love her and Jose Ochoa...I believe they still do a podcast... I love that you appreciate these talented..humble giving humans... I look forward to your next 💜🇨🇦
Kpop albums are on a whole other level as compared to Western albums, heh. They don't need to bundle with merchandise. The albums are collectable on their own. They have beautiful packaging, posters, stickers, exclusive pictures of the artist's, and in BTS's case also exclusive Notes related to their fictional storyline. For their album BE the album came with an entire photo book, and the lyrics page was a copy of *handwritten* lyrics from the guys with little sketches and doodles. They also included some copies of their note pages from writing their music.
It's really genuine of you to take this much interest into whatever you react to or show on your channel and it's just not about BTS, I'm talking about the sincerity this involves in general.
Shoutout to xCeleste, she's like celebrity ARMY at this point, haha! Her videos are so well put together, thank you for reacting to this one 💜 I gotta say one nitpicky thing about 4:30 though, the pronunciation of Jungkook's name...I'm not really fond of the way she says it because it's kinda like a weird combo of the Americanized and Korean pronunciations. I think the way you've been saying it is fine; it's how most English speakers pronounce his name. The proper Korean way is really hard to spell out, but I would describe it as "CHUNG-gook" with a shorter "oo" and the last "k" is very light or dropped altogether. Here's a video example! ua-cam.com/video/7geNY8QxIQk/v-deo.html (From their variety show Run BTS which is free on Vlive and Weverse, during which they often play quiz games and have to "ring in" to answer by shouting their own names 😂 )
A BIG thank you to you , Sir, for welcoming BTS in your life. I hope that you as well as the others will be as inspired as we are. Knowing the hardships and humble beginnings of our Bangtan Boys makes us resonate their strength too. Again, kudos to you, Sir, for your professional input. More subs for you 💜💜💜
XCeleste is like our uncrowned queen. 💜 But you really should watch her matching This is BTS ARMY to get the full picture of their enormous influence on the world.
It's beautiful and Puff I'm crying minutes 17:42 it's moment important for bts and us army 😭 I hope you see the program MAMA 2018 presentation 20:21 😭 😓 They also released films and documentaries throughout the countrys. They not changed at all, they are still the same simple friendly fun boys Ellos lanzaron también películas y documentales en todo país.. Allí donde los vez no han cambiado nada siguen siendo los mismos chicos divertidos sencillos amables
It would be absolutely great to watch The Most Beautiful Moment in Life by Asian Theory, it touches on their music and little more on their personalities. Last I heard they mostly live together in an apartment but still have their individual houses.
36 year old army here... loud and proud... it’s hard not to appreciate a group like BTS.. the music, the dance and the performances are legendary... but their dedication to their artistry that they truly have passion for music and it’s so obvious when you start t pay attention. It’s hard to find people doing the level of music that they are but almost always having an important message that anybody at any age can connect with and feel. From inside out... it’s the art, connection and passion that really connects bts and armys. You should watch the “who is bts” guide has an orange thumbnail of your like to see each member described individually, where they came from, what they do in bts and clips of all these little special things about them that will def help you see who they are and be able to remember to know their names
I'm 50 years old and have been part of the Army sense 2015. There music has been a big part of my life. The messages they talk about in there music is inspiring.
18:50 the background piano is song of bts called “Zero ‘O’ clock” 🥰💜 LOVED YOUR REACTION THO! I just loveee it when people just genuinely try to understand and know them! The way you were curious about things and showed interest was awesome 🥰
BIGHIT ENTERTAINMENT changed its name to HYBE. HYBE, the company formerly known as Big Hit Entertainment, which is home to BTS has merged with ITHACA HOLDING, the company led by SB Projects (SBP) founder Scooter Braun. In the deal, HYBE will acquire through HYBE America, its wholly owned subsidiary, a 100% stake in Ithaca Holdings and its properties. Big Hit will pay a total of $1.05 billion to shareholders and bondholders to purchase Ithaca. Which includes SB Projects and management clients: - Ariana Grande - Justin Bieber - Demi Lovato - J Balvin - Thomas Rhett - Florida Georgia Line - Lady A and more.
I'm a 50 year old ARMY since 2015 right along my 28 year old ARMY daughter. We believe that BTS will find you when you most need them. At the time I was battling cancer and my depression was spiraling out of control. Their lyrics, dancing, humbleness and even their Run BTS shows became food to my soul.
But I think the Korean language sounds very different that Chinese or Japanese. I can tell immediately what language they are speaking without even know what they are saying
@@maylewis2421 The languages are ofcourse mostly different but with much borrowed vocab from China who had a much longer history and more words. Much like how much English borrows so many words from Latin and other romance languages that you can find many similarities. In this case: Bangtang Sonyeondan Fangdan Shaoniantuan both literally translate to "Bulletproof Boy group/scouts" :)
They managed Lee Hyun (a soloist formly of a group the managed but weren't around anymore in 2017 ) and BTS Now they manage BTS, TxT, and Lee Hyun. The company now called Hybe owns a lot of other labels as well now
If you do an interview with xCeleste i will literally kiss your feet She is the main content creator for the theories of the main storyline of bts, if there's someone who analyzes their lyrics and meaning in depth, it is her
Also, i've never thought liking a group would lead me to support a whole company. I have so much respect for their former CEO Bang si hyuk (he resigned few days ago). Despite being just a small company who were near to bankruptcy, still being true to his goals of creating a boyband who seeks sincerity and authenticity to reach audiences through music. The fact that their debut song were about telling teenagers to question their true dream instead of following mainstream dreams like being a doctor, teacher, lawyer, engineer etc still blows my mind. I have so much respect for Bang si hyuk for treating BTS as real teenagers who wants to reach their dream through music and not treating them like trained machines for the industry. their ceo never give them any restrictions, but treating them how a father would want their sons to success (BTS members refers themselves as one of Bang si hyuk's sons). Knowing how toxic KPOP industry is where some company would starve their trainees, not giving them freedom to use social media, etc. but bang sihyuk changes his method of training his artists and i love that. Once he said "We never being strict to our artists telling them to do this and that, we encourage them to do so, but if you're not here to grow and develop for the better, then you can always leave the door" Armys always have so much love and respect for the staffs who works with BTS, we always acknowledge their efforts to give us various contents. real ARMYS dont only share our love with BTS, but to everyone involved in the success of bts as well as those who stand up and support us
Big Hit has a really interesting history. Reading the information of Big Hit on sites like Wikipedia for example would be worthwhile. Plus the other videos that XCeleste has done are good too. Knowing all the history good and bad of BTS is really important in understanding everything about them from their music, lyrics, to their way of thinking, and their history. You will respect these humble, talented, funny guys even more.
there is allso RUN serie one is coming every tuesday, bon voyage , Summer and winter packades, wewerse, v-lives. you can look at these from youtube. have you look at Who is Bts -videos??there you can know more about the members
Thx for this reaction! I am a huge fan of your channel and I love XCeleste's videos, they are awesome. I definitely recommend watching more of her BTS vids. I also recommend watching: Who Is BTS? The Seven Members of Bangtan. Its not by XCeleste but it a is a great vid (a little outdated) and it introduces each individual member. It shows where they came from, their backgrounds, what they bring to the group, as well as a bit of their personalities. I also recommend watching vids that show how BTS isn't just a group, they are a family. There are some vids with a tile super similar to that so if you look that up on UA-cam, some good vids will pop up. Thx again for the amazing reactions!!💜
Weverse is an app owned by Bighit(Now HYBE). Many western as well as kpop artists use the app not just BTS. It's an app used to communicate with fans. Also helps in selling merch, and other paid content.
Just a little fact, not being boastful but when you enter the fandom, stan bts, you'll learn about music industry, fashion industry, businesses, etc. That's why we are not just a fandom who stan an artist.
For real. I'm a graduate of business/financial management and I tell you ARMYs know their sht. Smart people! They really know what they're doing.
I think the fact that UN named ARMY as "largest in the world non-profit organization" speaks for itself 🙃
XCELESTE is amazing she has interviewed singer MAX she has a podcast with another ARMY.. Her name is ROSAN..
Hardships of BTS 2013 - 2021 also by XCeleste.
Up
Up
we all know X Celeste. She has been like a friend to fans for years. We traveled with her to Korea via her vlogs and laughdr together over theories and meaning of lyrics. I have thought she and JRE were the face of kpop fans and ARMY for years. Bless you and thank you XC
Dynamite was their first and only Grammy nomination. However, they should have been nominated long ago tbh. Persona was the best selling album of 2019 and they didn't even get a nomination.
I think BTS didn't do bundles because they make music to make music, not to make history. That just happens on its own lol. RM was asked why they give so much of their solo work for free and he commented that they make enough money as a group -- the extra music are gifts. How they approach music and their fans is the main reason that I support them so much. They're thankful for the love they receive, but they're also just...real.
ARMY is the most knowledgeable fandom I know in the workings of the music industry. We become experts in journalistic media, radio and billboard calculations, award academies, social phenomena and injustice, etc. - all because International ARMYs are BTS's publicists, translators, and promoters since the Western industry won't acknowledge their worth and do it for them.
Looooool, nice way to put it! 😄
It's because BTS literally only got us, ARMYs.
I'm 40yrs old and an Army since 2017. The wide age range is not surprising, because the journey to loving ourselves never ends
The last time they were on Karaoke Carpool in 2020, they said they still live together after 8-10 years. Some bought their own places but it seems like they still live together in a dorm at the most expensive area during their busy schedules.
Also, they apparently were living together all throughout the pandemic, basically quarantining together.
XCeleste is well known among Army. She is an Army too. She produced alot of quality contents about BTS.
I really recommend THE RISE OF BANGATAN series. It's a fanmade series but it's seriously so professionally made that it could be an official documentary. It shows BTS' journey all the way from the beginning. We're on episode 10 right now, going on 2015
Yes, this one is amazingly well done.
I'm 64 Japanese J-ARMY 🇯🇵 for six years
I’m a 62 year old American ARMY but I am Japanese
This is wholesome🥺
I’m a 19yr old ARMY for nearly 8yrs💜
62 and been here since pre-debut. They are like my sons from seven different mothers. I’m a very protective Mom!
Me too
I’m a 64 year old white guy from Philly and I love BTS.... the messages in the songs are very thoughtful and current.... plus you can watch 5 different videos and you would think they are not the same group and of course they can all kill it as solo artists.... never seen anything like them in my lifetime
56, ARMY almost 3 years now. I've seen almost every artist/group live, fan of many! But I've never experienced anything like BTS either!! I absolutely love them!
I’m 62 and started loving everything about them in 2017. I just happen to see them perform on the AMAs which was their first performance on an American award show and I’ve been into them ever since. I wonder if I didn’t see them on the AMAs when and if I would have found out about them. Now they are a huge part of my life on a daily basis not just their music but every part of them. I feel like I know them each personally which is hard to do given how globally popular they are. But that’s how they are with their fans. I’m pretty sure my friends think i have gone crazy. Even my daughter at first didn’t get it but now she understands it at least. She even went with me to their concert at Staples Center. She said it was the best concert she’s ever been to. You will not believe how much I spent for those tickets since it was impossible to get a tickets the usual way. Becoming a fan changed my life so much and makes me even feel young. It’s so fun to be an elder ARMY. I feel lucky and grateful to have found out about them. They deserve all the love that they get.
@@maylewis2421 did you see them perform Black Swan on James Corden show.... incredible
Korean marketing is top notch. Groups release multiple versions of the same album with different concepts. You don’t just get a CD. You get photo books, stickers, photo cards, postcards, posters. It’s super fun unboxing your album bc you are excited to see what you’re going to get. I’m 49 and still buy multiple copies of the albums for the different versions. Its satisfying to get a photo card of your bias. No western artist is marketing albums like this. So, even if you never use the cd and stream all of your music, you still buy the album.
The fact that Army matched the $1M donation to BLM in 1 day still amazed me to this day. What other fandoms would do such thing?!
he provided so much commentary throughout but when the bts and amy donation to blm was mentioned - silence. 🤔
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed he had nothing to say about the BLM donation 😑
BTS from nobodies to legend by Celeste...Who is bts(history of bts)...the motivational success story of bts..a good help for you to know them better...thank you very much,i really love bts very much too...BTS FOREVER,TAEKOOK FOREVER!
Actually, with the new ARMY census, we know that the over 50 age group is much larger, 20% of the fan base. From my perspective at both MetLife shows, the crowd had a very high percentage of over 50.
Thank You😊
I'm very happy to represent in the age 50 and higher ARMY! 👍💜 Soldier Field
Big Hit is the label. They’ve grown so much as a company that they’re Hybe now and Big Hit is under Hybe.
Tomorrow by Together (TXT) is another group managed by Big Hit. Enhypen is the newest addition. They were formed from a survival show, I-land, where Big Hit was one of the main label. They debuted under BE: LIFT, but they’re under Hybe as well, and many of them trained in Big Hit.
Hybe owns many other companies, so they have Gfriend, Nuest, and Seventeen now, but those weren’t originally Big Hit.
Only BTS, TXT and Enhypen are originally formed and managed by Big Hit, now Hybe.
A small addition. Originally, Big Hit managed (and still does!) two other solo artists, Lee Hyun and Bumzu (who is also a producer and helped out recently on Jin's solo song, Abyss.) You could see all of Big Hit's (now HYBE) artists during the online New Year's Eve Live concert (minus Seventeen who were previously engaged.)
@@lisasenglishconversationcl3582 I know, but he asked for groups if I’m not mistaken. Basically anyone who participated in the new year’s concert is under Big Hit/Hybe. Not to mention they recently bought Ithaca Holdings so they now manage Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande and Demi Lovato. Talk about globalization!
@@marar8045 Wow!
Big Hit also manages TXT, BTS's junior group. They debuted 2019. Big Hit also aquired two other companies Source Music and Pelidis Entertainment. The groups Gfriend, Nuest, and Seventeen are all under Big Hit, but still managed by their own respective companies.
KOZ Entertainment too (who belongs to Zico)
pledis* but yes
they also acquired ithaca holdings recently, scooter braun's company
xCeleste is a well known figure in the ARMY community. She's awesome. :)
38 year old ARMY here, btw. :)
"The Rise of Bangtan" on the channel of the same name has a lot of good info as well. Each video is about 25 to 35 minutes long and details the history of the band as a whole and the members individually.
the thing is since bts had no industry support so armys had to learn a lot about it get these results
I am 52. Loved many artists throughout the years but never joined any fandom; every artist sounded repetitive in the end, however much I loved them. I could never buy an albums before BTS and preferred to pick and choose the few songs I liked. BTS collided with my life nearly 3 years ago and I fell in love with their lyrics, music, passion, their artistry and ultimately genuine, humble attitude. I became ARMY a couple of years ago and I have never been part of a community like this. Yes, we have a few bad apples (look up the theory of the 1%) but overall, this fandom is mind blowing in its variety and inclusivity.
Have fun falling in the rabbit hole. We love watching people fall for these 7 unbelievable artists, staggering performers, masters of their craft.
I can’t wait to see you react to The Rise of Bangtan (the docuseries) there’s 10 episodes at the moment. Literally the most well-made fan-made series I’ve seen
Good choice! "Introduction to BTS: Bulletproof" by bts_gadaursan to get the members individually!
sweet thanks!
so officially they still live together in their dorm but most likely they don't anymore and (thankfully) nobody knows where each member really lives
I dont think they live in the dorm, the HQ probably has places for them to sleep but I am sure they live separately (aside from JK and Jimin I am sure they live together)
i think they live together when they have schedules like jin, rm and jimin went live before grammies from their dorm(rm trolled the wifi speed in hannam hills), but when they have free time they shuttle between the dorm and their own house.
Then again the security in Hannam hills is insane no one can get in without id's and prior permission so it is better if they live together.
upto our knowledge they still live together. RM's hometown is literally 10-15 min far from their dorm, jin's too ig. So they shuttle around ig.
@@ot7stan207
Please keep ships in the appropriate forums. Don't bring speculations into this kind of discussion. Especially since homosexuality is very frowned upon in S. Korea. 🙏
they still live together ..even in their latest vlive jin,rm and jimin you will know ..maybe if they had no schedule they go to their families or if they want had some privacy..
i know jk sold his apartment and stayed in dorm (as far as i know) and V bought house in seoul for his family
As it should be, honestly. Fan's obsessions over whether they still live together or not is so unhealthy. They did and it was humble and great and now they deserve some privacy.
FINALLY WE ARE GETTING THESE
THANK YOU 💜
:D
Yes, I'm waiting for this reaction as well. Just subscribed. Thank you Jacob!
Following bts I’ve learned so much about so many industries! The fandom is so educated on so many topics and take the time to explain them, especially the music industry and business.
I don't know how much of a deep dive you want to do down the rabbit hole but you might try the series 'THE RISE OF BANGTAN'
“Does Bighit manage anybody else ? “
*insert maniacal laughter*
I recommend xCeleste's Guide to ARMY. It gives a pretty good insight into how diverse and powerful the fandom is, and why we consider ourselves part of a global movement.

I think you can definitely reach out to Xceleste, she always seems really nice and she makes great videos. Sometimes she also does interviews with people who have worked with the boys. It will be great if you both can talk!
I really recommend watching Kpop history (from DKDKTV) and maybe first one or two episodes of Rise of Bangtan just for general understanding of the cultural context of kpop and musical industry in South Korea. It's just so different to the way Western music is organized you can't truly appreciate how much BTS is both a product and a revolutionary of that system.
Hey there ! Thanks...
Just saying if you like, will you watch/react to "BTS FROM NOBODIES TO LEGENDS 2019" next plz..? That me it's worth it... 💜
lemme see what I can do!
Now watch WHO IS BTS...It is a little out dated, however it will introduce you to each member....they are all different and each bring something to the team. They are simply incredible.
They have an updated version which is excellent. Who is BtS by Ida S. Goes into each member and their accomplishments and talks about their songwriting/ producing credits. It’s really well done, professional level.
The ‘ON Documentary’ is great! Behind the scenes of the making of Map of the Soul album.
Enjoying your rections with BTS, I recommend THIS IS BTS by Asian Theory for a an additional understanding on how BTS was formed.
I believe this is what Aileen is referring to... The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS by Asian Theory. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/82AXPlMFL6w/v-deo.html
Looking forward to see your reaction to this video.
@@brendajmurphy +
and now HYBE LABELS / BIGHIT bought ITHACA HOLDING company, a management company that houses artists like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato and more. in collaboration with UMG (universal music group)
I really recommend "The Rise of Bangtan" it's a series from the beginning, still ongoing but it's very detailed and very informative ☺️
Who Is BTS? A Guide To The Band And Its 7 Members (2020) you should react to this video
Dude. We learn so much by just stanning BTS
BTS publishes an annual video with the year in review and a look forward and you can hear a lot of strategy and analytics for Big Hit as an organization. I find them fascinating.
Speaking about Mr.Bang Shi Hyuk. He's the best. He believed in them and be there for them when nobody was. I really respect Mr.Bang so much. Not only BTS he's been treating all other artists in the company so well. I like how Mr.Bang always encouraged them to participated in writing or composing because he can see the potential in them. And last October, he made BTS a shareholders of the agency. BTS are now partical owners of the agency. They owns $108 million of the agency. The fact that BTS are already listed by Forbes 100 highest paid artists ranking at no.43 in 201 , now they becomes more rich rich. It's so crazy.
- The boys do have their own places but also share a dorm together where they reside together specially during comeback seasons.
We don't know much details as their private lives are kept private.
- Bighit has another group called TXT. In the past few years they have also partially acquired few more labels under them like source music, pledis, Koz, ithaca holdings (American) etc.
- BTS or their company do not want to sell music via unfair means. Be it bundles or payola.
Big Hit became Hybe and expanded to include other entertainment vehicles beyond music. Hybe just purchased Ithaca Holdings from Scooter Braun. Ithaca manages Bieber, Ariana Grande, JBalvin and Demi Lovato to name a few. Fans are looking forward to future collabs with these artists. 2021 was their first Grammy nomination. Their new single "Butter" will be their 2nd all English song after "Dynamite". Fans are looking forward to the 2022 Grammy's to say the least!
This documentary about BTS is very good too - The Rise Of Bangtan : this is part 1 : ua-cam.com/video/QxAmkAwIEeY/v-deo.html
Or you can check from Asian Theory channel : A Story Of BTS :
ua-cam.com/video/82AXPlMFL6w/v-deo.html
I'm so happy you are digging a little deeper because I have a feeling you will appreciate what they have achieved and how they have stayed so very humble and true to themselves and one another despite thise that did whatever they could to stifle them. As for living together, its become a hot topic these days. Some have separate apt. some don't or we don't know because its not our business. But it seems when they have a lot going on they stay at their dorm and we know V and JHopp at least have places in the same building and Jimin and JK have bought homes nearby. OH!! And HYBE (aka BigHit) was just named as one of Time Magazine's most influential companies!! And Billboard had banned bundles as of this year!! 💜
Hi Jacob,
Thank you so much for watching this video and learning about BTS. Part of the reason why this is important is because it adds to the appreciation of the music they create and perform. You honestly cannot go wrong with following what BTS does. Even if it's not quite your thing, there is always something to learn from both BTS, Bighit (now called Hybe) and ARMY. As a fan, you learn about literature, mythology, psychology etc because they cover these topics and leave for you to unfold from their lyrics or their music videos (Blood, Sweat and Tears has so much symbolism it's no joke. You'd miss it without watching an explanation video). If you are into business, strategy, management, Bighit is such an awesome company that they have been able to grow from near bankruptcy to going public and no acquiring different companies to make up different components that will help them as music company. They've acquired labels, talent management companies, app companines, production, gaming companies etc. As for BTSxARMY, our fandom is very well researched. We've had to break so many barriers to give a Korean group the opportunities they have deserved and nonetheless seized. ARMY researches rules of different things such as charting on Billboard and all other awards and endeavors they've taken to ensure that we can participate in their success. Again, thank you so much for being open to BTS and recognize the amazing skills and talents they have. BTW, xCeleste is an awesome member of the fandom who just happens to also make great videos just for the love of BTS. You can react to her other videos and you would find inspiration from BTS for their hard work and passion for music and performance. Also, for a quick breakdown of who each member is and their role in the group, please react to "Who is BTS: the 7 members of Bangtan." by Suga & Spice. It's a bit outdated but is still a great summary and introduction of the members. Please continue to react and learn from BTS and I hope you feel inspired with your own music as you watch their story continue.
Yes! xCelepte interview is great idea!!
I like her from nobody to Legend video,too!
Also, to know about each member and remember them Who is BTS? The seven member of Bangtan is great video to watch!
LOL, I am so glad that you watched this. I just posted on your last video that I wish you would watch something about the artist themselves, and three minutes later you granted my wish LOL
I really appreciate you watching this video, Xceleste produced great contents like this of BTS, It would be so nice if you take time to watch her latest video about BTS struggles and hardships because through this way you get to understand why ARMYs are so passionate and protective towards BTS. For me as an ARMY, Xceleste videos helped me a lot in getting deeper understanding about BTS and why they love ARMYs so much....Thank you Jacob for watching this....💜🤗
I cried AGAIN! love this
Bundles are no longer allowed and many artists numbers have been obviously effected.
Weverse includes multiple BigHit/Hybe artists. You can essentially join whichever artist community you are a fan of and it is a private social media site for just them and the fans who joined that community. They will post there similarly to how Twitter works, but they tend to be more free with what they post in Weverse because of the more insular environment. They also will actually respond to fan posts.
You should have seen them on Weverse after the Grammy's 😅 They were making a concerted effort to calm ARMY down.
BTS since 2011 have already live under a one roof... they're still trainees that time.. they debuted 2013.. so, they're living together for 10years.. they have their own house but they prefer to live together..
Rosan (xCeleste) has a podcast with Jose Ochoa, another popular ARMY UA-camr. She lives in Vegas, but I think would be quite amenable to be interviewed for you channel.
Early 2020, RM said they all still live together (and have lived together for a decade), but who knows if that has changed and/or if that's a 24/7 thing. They own their own properties, so maybe not, but at the same time, they say stuff like "you need to live with me forever" and there has been a lot of recent footage of them in their dorm (read: luxury apartment) so idk.
Big hit went from near bankruptcy to just last week buying (half the western music industry) “Ithaca holdings ” from Scooter Braun for 1 billion dollars! All of which would never have been possible if it weren’t for The Success of BTS. So proud of them! 🥲
the korean consonant ㄱ has a g/k sound, which is why it's pronounced and sounds like jung gook
Thank you. If you like to react this "The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS"
Is this her newest version of This is BTS? She’s updated them to 2020 and 2021.
im not sure
@@JacobRestituto I think this is NOT the New version, there is a version 2020-2021 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 (sorry for my English)
@@gabymata9751 Yes this is the right one. It is the Hardships video that she updated until 2021.
While Big Hit manages more bands now, at the time when BTS debuted, they were the only band under their label. I think there was 2 other bands, but they were in hiatus. For awhile, BTS was the only band Big Hit managed, until 2019.
Aside from BTS, BigHit also manages TXT (BTS’s junior group) and Lee Hyun (soloist). BigHit Music, used to be known as BigHit Entertainment, is now under HYBE Labels which consists of a number of subsidiaries other than BigHit Music. Belift Lab manages Enhypen, Source Music manages G-Friend, Pledis manages Seventeen, Nuest, Bumzu, Nana, Kyulkyung, Yehana and Sungyeon, KOZ Entertainment manages Zico and DVWN. HYBE Labels also recently bought Ithaca Holdings through Hybe America. The founder and CEO of the whole corporation is still of course Bang Sihyuk.
You should react to “ The most beautiful story of BTS Life Goes On Introductions “ some of your questions ‘ answers is in it💜
You should watch BTS CRASH COURSE 2020 for more info about their music and WHO IS BTS for info about the members individually. The latter is very outdated, but still the best one we have right now.
I think the reason why BTS appeals to all ages is because they discuss subject matter in their music people of all ages and backgrounds can relate to. No they've never won a grammy yet and this year was the first nomination. But they've won billboard music awards, american music awards, and Video Music Awards.
REACT TO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LIFE GOES ON, A STORY OF BTS
And here is the link to that documentary... ua-cam.com/video/82AXPlMFL6w/v-deo.html
Reach out to Xceleste... she has sooo much info...love her and Jose Ochoa...I believe they still do a podcast... I love that you appreciate these talented..humble giving humans... I look forward to your next 💜🇨🇦
Kpop albums are on a whole other level as compared to Western albums, heh. They don't need to bundle with merchandise. The albums are collectable on their own. They have beautiful packaging, posters, stickers, exclusive pictures of the artist's, and in BTS's case also exclusive Notes related to their fictional storyline.
For their album BE the album came with an entire photo book, and the lyrics page was a copy of *handwritten* lyrics from the guys with little sketches and doodles. They also included some copies of their note pages from writing their music.
Finallyyyyy💜💜
Edit: he already reacted to this on his last live HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
LOL
It's really genuine of you to take this much interest into whatever you react to or show on your channel and it's just not about BTS, I'm talking about the sincerity this involves in general.
Shoutout to xCeleste, she's like celebrity ARMY at this point, haha! Her videos are so well put together, thank you for reacting to this one 💜
I gotta say one nitpicky thing about 4:30 though, the pronunciation of Jungkook's name...I'm not really fond of the way she says it because it's kinda like a weird combo of the Americanized and Korean pronunciations. I think the way you've been saying it is fine; it's how most English speakers pronounce his name. The proper Korean way is really hard to spell out, but I would describe it as "CHUNG-gook" with a shorter "oo" and the last "k" is very light or dropped altogether.
Here's a video example! ua-cam.com/video/7geNY8QxIQk/v-deo.html (From their variety show Run BTS which is free on Vlive and Weverse, during which they often play quiz games and have to "ring in" to answer by shouting their own names 😂 )
A BIG thank you to you , Sir, for welcoming BTS in your life. I hope that you as well as the others will be as inspired as we are. Knowing the hardships and humble beginnings of our Bangtan Boys makes us resonate their strength too. Again, kudos to you, Sir, for your professional input. More subs for you 💜💜💜
XCeleste is like our uncrowned queen. 💜 But you really should watch her matching This is BTS ARMY to get the full picture of their enormous influence on the world.
It's beautiful and
Puff I'm crying minutes
17:42 it's moment important for bts and us army 😭
I hope you see the program MAMA 2018 presentation
20:21 😭 😓
They also released films and documentaries throughout the countrys.
They not changed at all, they are still the same simple friendly fun boys
Ellos lanzaron también películas y documentales en todo país..
Allí donde los vez no han cambiado nada siguen siendo los mismos chicos divertidos sencillos amables
Celestw doing all these works is amaaaaazing! Nice move for you, tho. Looking forward you and DJ Jino on a same screen. 😅💜
It would be absolutely great to watch The Most Beautiful Moment in Life by Asian Theory, it touches on their music and little more on their personalities.
Last I heard they mostly live together in an apartment but still have their individual houses.
36 year old army here... loud and proud... it’s hard not to appreciate a group like BTS.. the music, the dance and the performances are legendary... but their dedication to their artistry that they truly have passion for music and it’s so obvious when you start t pay attention. It’s hard to find people doing the level of music that they are but almost always having an important message that anybody at any age can connect with and feel. From inside out... it’s the art, connection and passion that really connects bts and armys.
You should watch the “who is bts” guide has an orange thumbnail of your like to see each member described individually, where they came from, what they do in bts and clips of all these little special things about them that will def help you see who they are and be able to remember to know their names
I'm 50 years old and have been part of the Army sense 2015. There music has been a big part of my life. The messages they talk about in there music is inspiring.
18:50 the background piano is song of bts called “Zero ‘O’ clock” 🥰💜 LOVED YOUR REACTION THO! I just loveee it when people just genuinely try to understand and know them! The way you were curious about things and showed interest was awesome 🥰
For better understanding pls react to Asian theory :The most beautiful life goes on.
BIGHIT ENTERTAINMENT changed its name to HYBE.
HYBE, the company formerly known as Big Hit Entertainment, which is home to BTS has merged with ITHACA HOLDING, the company led by SB Projects (SBP) founder Scooter Braun. In the deal, HYBE will acquire through HYBE America, its wholly owned subsidiary, a 100% stake in Ithaca Holdings and its properties. Big Hit will pay a total of $1.05 billion to shareholders and bondholders to purchase Ithaca.
Which includes SB Projects and management clients:
- Ariana Grande
- Justin Bieber
- Demi Lovato
- J Balvin
- Thomas Rhett
- Florida Georgia Line
- Lady A
and more.
You know what? I can't count how many times I watched this introduction of BTS but it's always makes me cry like crazy my heart is full of love to BTS
The piano played in background is a piano version of their song "zero o'clock". You should check it out too
I'm a 50 year old ARMY since 2015 right along my 28 year old ARMY daughter. We believe that BTS will find you when you most need them. At the time I was battling cancer and my depression was spiraling out of control. Their lyrics, dancing, humbleness and even their Run BTS shows became food to my soul.
The background music from xCeleste's video is all BTS' songs (covered instrumentally or BTS' music itself)
As someone from Taiwan who speaks Mandarin, yes BTS's name in Chinese sounds almost the same :)
Thank you for sharing this! 💜
But I think the Korean language sounds very different that Chinese or Japanese. I can tell immediately what language they are speaking without even know what they are saying
@@maylewis2421 The languages are ofcourse mostly different but with much borrowed vocab from China who had a much longer history and more words. Much like how much English borrows so many words from Latin and other romance languages that you can find many similarities.
In this case:
Bangtang Sonyeondan
Fangdan Shaoniantuan
both literally translate to "Bulletproof Boy group/scouts" :)
Finally💜
I’m 36 btw, ARMY since 2016.
The bgm was a piano version of 00:00 (Zero O' clock). it's a vocal line song from Map of the Soul:7
They managed Lee Hyun (a soloist formly of a group the managed but weren't around anymore in 2017 ) and BTS
Now they manage BTS, TxT, and Lee Hyun.
The company now called Hybe owns a lot of other labels as well now
If you do an interview with xCeleste i will literally kiss your feet
She is the main content creator for the theories of the main storyline of bts, if there's someone who analyzes their lyrics and meaning in depth, it is her
Also, i've never thought liking a group would lead me to support a whole company. I have so much respect for their former CEO Bang si hyuk (he resigned few days ago). Despite being just a small company who were near to bankruptcy, still being true to his goals of creating a boyband who seeks sincerity and authenticity to reach audiences through music. The fact that their debut song were about telling teenagers to question their true dream instead of following mainstream dreams like being a doctor, teacher, lawyer, engineer etc still blows my mind. I have so much respect for Bang si hyuk for treating BTS as real teenagers who wants to reach their dream through music and not treating them like trained machines for the industry. their ceo never give them any restrictions, but treating them how a father would want their sons to success (BTS members refers themselves as one of Bang si hyuk's sons). Knowing how toxic KPOP industry is where some company would starve their trainees, not giving them freedom to use social media, etc. but bang sihyuk changes his method of training his artists and i love that. Once he said "We never being strict to our artists telling them to do this and that, we encourage them to do so, but if you're not here to grow and develop for the better, then you can always leave the door"
Armys always have so much love and respect for the staffs who works with BTS, we always acknowledge their efforts to give us various contents. real ARMYS dont only share our love with BTS, but to everyone involved in the success of bts as well as those who stand up and support us
Big Hit has a really interesting history. Reading the information of Big Hit on sites like Wikipedia for example would be worthwhile. Plus the other videos that XCeleste has done are good too. Knowing all the history good and bad of BTS is really important in understanding everything about them from their music, lyrics, to their way of thinking, and their history. You will respect these humble, talented, funny guys even more.
there is allso RUN serie one is coming every tuesday, bon voyage , Summer and winter packades, wewerse, v-lives. you can look at these from youtube. have you look at Who is Bts -videos??there you can know more about the members
She very good.. She do bts hardship too
Thx for this reaction! I am a huge fan of your channel and I love XCeleste's videos, they are awesome. I definitely recommend watching more of her BTS vids. I also recommend watching: Who Is BTS? The Seven Members of Bangtan. Its not by XCeleste but it a is a great vid (a little outdated) and it introduces each individual member. It shows where they came from, their backgrounds, what they bring to the group, as well as a bit of their personalities. I also recommend watching vids that show how BTS isn't just a group, they are a family. There are some vids with a tile super similar to that so if you look that up on UA-cam, some good vids will pop up.
Thx again for the amazing reactions!!💜
BIGHIT Ent is a company under HYBE which holds several other Entertainment companies, BIGHIT currently holds 3 artists: Lee Hyun, BTS and TXT.
Weverse is an app owned by Bighit(Now HYBE).
Many western as well as kpop artists use the app not just BTS.
It's an app used to communicate with fans. Also helps in selling merch, and other paid content.
