i used to use bt21 as a way to spot army in public but the characters are so popular now that people have them without knowing they’re anything related to bts 😂
RJ is such a main character😭😭and Jin would bring RJ around everywhere, either as a plushy or pillow or like on a key ring/chain. Several celebrities have also been seen with Chimmy or Koya products, it's all really cool!! IRL, i've seen a few people use BT21 products without knowing it was by BTS, but before that it was a great way to detect another army👀
Jin has promoted RJ consistently ever since they did this lol, he wears the pajamas, he uses the RJ phone case, he carries RJ as a plushie during tours, this boy really did a lot of promo and now RJ is famous like his dad lmao
Yaay, happy you did this!! BT21 is so famous nowadays, even more than BTS sometimes lol, because they have makeup, skincare and stuff, and sometimes people buys it without even knowing it's related to BTS, just buy it because it's cute!! I also really like how they did the characters, hope you keep watching more of BT21
BT21 started as just characters for emoticons to the LINE friends that is a message app, and then now they have like plushies, keyrings, phone cases and they even have like a UA-cam channel and they are really like animation with voices and stuff, they also "debuted" last month i think and they sang and rapped, and it was actually a banger tbh 😂 they also have short video telling their stories before they got together!! And BTS reacted to it too, hope you can watch it all, it would be so cool and funny!!
Fun fact, Seokjin has been drawing a version of RJ for years prior to BT21. He also had a pink Alpaca that was fairly infamous. And then there was the 2016 (I think it was) April fools twitter "fight" with Namjoon where Seokjin changed there official page to pics of sand foxes saying Namjoon had the same expression, so in retaliation Namjoon changed it to alpacas saying Seokjin looked like one 🤣🤣 Also one of my favourite sound bites is Seokjin trying to pronounce 'alpaca parka' 🤣🤣He's so adorable.
1:00:22 omg you got Shookys personality ON POINT hahah BT21 actually just had a comeback recently with their new song, I recomend you check the mv for that, it is soooo good We always joke the only group more popular than BTS are BT21. But TinyTan are also really gaining in popularity and are getting new releases that are unfortunatly only available in US and Japan; while BT21 is older and available EVERYWHERE
My favorite one is RJ. The jin's one. BUT I CAN NEVER GET ONE BECAUSE THEY GETS SOLD OUT IN SECONDS !!!! The last main merch of RJ took only 9 secs to get sold out. BT21 spreaded so much that it is more than now just part of BTS. They have their collaboration, they have their own shops and stuff people think it's trendy. Also they are the only group I stan after BTS. I believe they may or may not have surpassed them too..idk
Omg! Yay!! Thanks for this! There is also a whole story line on their channel of a whole BT21 story. It’s animated and there’s also behind the scenes video of the members creating the storylines and reacting to the episodes. I really suggest watching the whole BT21 episodes on UA-cam before watching the members behind the scenes and react to the episodes cuz it gives a few spoilers. It’s so funny and cute. It shows more of what the members meant like V and his alien TaTa.
10:55 RJ, Jin’s character seems to appeal to non-army a lot and often is the first one sold out, so Jin was on point here. Love all of the designs but I’m partial to Chimmy and RJ, they’re just too cute! Also RJ has a little brother RK, that’s basically like a baby JK, it’s even cuter!
I have a couple of things with BR21, my favorite one is RJ. I also like how Jin uses RJ’s merch a lot, he even travelled with a plush toy during their last long tour. And you could also see him bringing RJ’s pillow for In the Soop (not sure, probably in season 2).
Also, particularly, i love the uniqueness of TATA, Taehyung was so right with what he said!! I also really like Chimmy and Cooky too!!! I love all of them but i found these three so cute!!
Taehyung's prediction that Tata is gonna be the most popular one was kinda right! Especially early on that character was sold out everywhere lol. I remember going to store to buy them and for some reason only Tata was sold out and I was so sad lol
When I went to LA for BTS’ concert, my friends and I went to the LINE store to buy BT21 merch and the line was literally around the city block and it took us almost 4 hours to get into the store. The store was on Hollywood blvd and people walking by kept asking what the line was for and people would say “BTS” and they’d go “oh that’s why the line is so long-BTS is here” and then we’d be like, “no, we’re l waiting to buy plushies and key chains of characters they designed…” haha. Mang is my favorite and then RJ and Koya but I have a couple of each. But I have so much Mang stuff and even have a tattoo of Mang on my calf. RJ is the most popular. So much so that the LINE Store will do pre-releases of RJ and even gave Jin a life size version.
I think the popularity of the characters are different in each country bcs where I live I see lots of ppl with Tata plushies, Keychains and stuff but I can see why others may say RJ is a big thing specially in East Asia but in the U.S Cooky merch is always outsold.
My friends know BT21, but they didn't know that the characters created by BTS. They hates BTS, when I said BT21 is related to BTS, they laughed says I'm a delusional. Then I show them this episodes, and they're embarrassed. I was laughing out loud that day, FINALLY I WIN!
Tata and chimmy and cooky are my favorites 🥺 . Here in south Algeria Tata and Cooky are the only characters you can find in stores I feel lucky cuz tae and jk are my biases
Actually in the Bon Voyage in Malta, you guys just watched, they use a lot of BT21 stuffs. For example, their cute pajamas that they use often in that bon voyage are their own BT21 character. and you will see Jin carrying around RJ (his character) plushie a lot, everywhere. In 2017, the line store opened in NY Times square, so it is pretty popular amongst ARMY in America. Line friends are pretty big as they are related to a chatting platform that is predominantly used in Korea. Line have a lot of stores, and I once went to the one in Korea, it was very cute, and there are a lot of other iconic Line characters like Ryan (used to be RM's favourite). My personal fav is cooky, cause it's pink and it's cute, I bought a cooky laptop bag and keychain back when i visit korea, i use it everyday to class now. Also, in the part 2, they will make storylines for each character, and it becomes an animation that u can found on youtube now.
I'm an OT7. I equally love all Bts members. however, I have a bias in BT21. And that's Mang. Jhope's character. I love how it came to be and how much effort he put into it. Also, his reasoning for drawing a horse is what made Mang my instant favorite.
LINE FRIENDS has a store in Times Square and in Hollywood now, I think, if you guys ever travel to New York or LA you might wanna visit there lol, the ones I've been to in Korea have a big BT21 theme
oh wow i’m so happy you guys finally saw this!!! you’ve seen these characters a lot, and each time just say, “aw that’s cute” but didn’t know that bts made them. haha that’s great, I’m glad you know now!
and VAN is supposed to be ARMY. It's a protector to BT21 and see how it's half-half? half in korean is '반' = BAN/VAN ..it represents ARMY around the world (with time differences).
RJ is my BT21 bias. RJ is so cute! Cooky is my second favorite and then TaTa. I think it's absolutely hilarious that all Suga really managed to do was draw a face, so they put a circle around it and said, "It's a cookie!" Shooky is my mother's favorite, lol. And I think Shooky is the absolute cutest in costumes, like when they made Tiger Shooky for year of the tiger, or Rabbit Shooky for year of the rabbit.
bt21 are so popular you'd see even non-armys have them.. to me tata and chimmy are the most adorable but i also love koya so much, i have rj as my keychain 🥺 they also did universe 2 where they gave background stories to the characters and then another time to develop the overall story even more they'll also be so fun to watch!! oh and they also started giving them voices and they even debuted as a group with a song "would you" it's so fun 😂
In Asian cultures, calling someone a "horse" or a "horse face" is an insult cos it basically represents a long, unattractive face. Back then people used to hate on Hobi calling him "J-horse", mocking his looks and saying it does not fit the Korean beauty standards. The reason for Jhope to pick Mang is quite personal and emotional. Mang wears a mask just like jhope did during their debut days (he wore a heavy mask covering his face in the "No more dream" MV) . He once even left the company because of all the hate he received. That's the underlying reason why he said he wants to change the stereotype around horses as they are beautiful creatures. You'll find many other instances where he then referred to himself as"J-horse" while laughing and smiling cos he wanted to turn it around into something light-hearted and not negative.
I had to pause and say when they were telling Tae that no one would use Tata (His character) even as a free emoticon, they truly underestimate the misfits out here. XD I have a hoard of Tata that amazes even me. To me he's a special character because he thinks and talks different and is an alien trying to fit in with the others and that's how I feel. He also changes his shape to suit/help the others, which to me makes me think of when I'm masking. Also my 2nd fav is Mang for similar reasons. Also even before BT21, I was a fan of the messenger Line and the main characters of Line Friends such as Brown, Sally, Moon, ect. so it does have some reach, but you're right in that it isn't very common outside of Asian based cultures
It was so much fun to re-watch this with you guys. Looking forward to hopefully watching the following seasons of BT21 with you. I also recommend their Cookie Run Kingdom episodes, where they develop their kingdoms etc. (There is 2) and their BTS in the Seom episodes where they help develop their game. I also liked the Maple Story collaboration ones too. Thanks for this reaction. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 P.s TaeTae is pronounced TeTe (different to when it’s just one Tae which is pronounced as you do normally: like Tay.) The BT21 character name here though ended up being TATA (like the sound used in Tap.)
actually, you guys are already familiar with BT21 characters when you watch RUN BTS. They appeared in it sometimes maybe you guys just didn't notice it yet. But I remember you guys asked about it :) Here in these episodes you guys reacted: *Americans React To The GOOFIEST RUN BTS (Run BTS 73-76)* = [the Cooky plushie/head costume Jungkook carrying + J-Hope folding the clothes with BT21 characters] *Americans React To BTS PAJAMA PARTY (Run BTS 97 & 98)* = [the plushies they play/hold] *Americans React To BTS SATISFACTION OF 5 SENSES (Run BTS 43 & 44)* = [Suga is wearing RJ costume]
I'm sorry. I couldn't help but laugh when Stephanie said, "I bet at least one of you has all of them..." Probably all of us? And multiple, multiple versions - plushies, socks, shirts, slides, pillows, computer mouses, earbuds, dog collars, utensils, toothbrushes, etc... the list goes on forever. Imagine it...and there's a BT21 product for it. I personally have all of them tattooed around my right ankle. All done by different artists so it follows the idea. The first one I got was Chimmy after the Love Yourself concert in Ft. Worth in 2018. It was peer pressure. I'm not a cutesy person. But I liked it. Then I slowly got the rest from Trader Bob's in St.Louis.
meanwhile im watching all of this on my bed surrounded with BT21 plushies that take most of my bed 🤣 Im glad you guys finally watched this and are able to get the BT21 references now :)
I'm SO happy you two are doing this series! I love bt21 so much. I think it's the most creative thing a music artist created and made into a brand. And for it to still be doing so well. I love it so much.
They really did Suga's dirty by making his drawing into a cooky. It's like they just made it an extra character even tho Suga said he wanted it to be like Holly (His dog). But I guess they decided not to make it a dog since Chimmy is already a dog... I wish they made Suga's into something else tho like a bird etc. Something unique maybe. Right now it's just a brown circle with a face, arms and legs..... But yeah Suga liked it so at least there's that.
I got a Run BTS recommendation: 133- 135 has among other things n hilarious scavenger hunt that has them hiding items in their company building tyring to outsmart each other
Loved watching your reaction, glad u chose these videos. They also did videos talking about their characters back stories and then the company even made animated shorts on those stories which are amazing. Looking forward to your reaction to those!
You entered another world of bts. These bt21 characters have their own contents. I hope you react to each character’s backstory and bts’ reaction to those too. I particularly adore chimmy. So cute and also the most sweet backstory
BT21 is like the bestselling LINE characters. I collect them too. My favorites are Cooky and Chimmy. I remember wearing my Cooky hoodie at work one time and everybody wants to steal it, they don’t know it’s related to BTS. You should check out their dance performance where they wore their characters, so cute! I think it’s Anpanman for Festa.
omg i was rewatching your past run bts reactions where you can’t recognize these characters a while ago and i literally hoped that you would react to this soon😆
you should get Rosie some BT21 plushies 😊 I've seen a lot of younger kids really loving the characters, especially as plushies! Just a day or so ago I saw a tiktok of a kid's birthday party where all the kids recreated a painting of Chimmy, it was so cute!
Wes and steph me my favorite BT21 character is TATA because he is the most adorable and cute in BT21 character and Mang is the second and Chimy is the third, RJ it’s a icon, Shooky is cute to same for Koya
BT21 UNIVERSE 💜💜⬇️⬇️ (BTS Making a storyline for their characters) They’re all really short between 3-4 min long - So reacting to all these videos together would be about an hour long 😊💜 EPISODE 1: The Past 1 ua-cam.com/video/4d6nhaUHm74/v-deo.html EPISODE 2: The Past 2 ua-cam.com/video/Gr5sW6irqHw/v-deo.html EPISODE 3: A to Z ua-cam.com/video/nJoj5weGQ0U/v-deo.html EPISODE 4: Final Goal ua-cam.com/video/oD2McQWAGaA/v-deo.html EPISODE 5: Role Model ua-cam.com/video/9x4B2gBp_s0/v-deo.html EPISODE 6: Rivals 1 ua-cam.com/video/jyesg9OtCus/v-deo.html EPISODE 7: Rivals 2 ua-cam.com/video/IDaFhuyOQYo/v-deo.html EPISODE 8: True or False 1 ua-cam.com/video/fnF-IdVEefU/v-deo.html EPISODE 9: True or False 2 ua-cam.com/video/b6uuPMCy_rA/v-deo.html COMPILATION OF ALL THEIR IDEAS PUT TOGETHER AND ANIMATED: ua-cam.com/video/bcU35tzoyN/v-deo.html
Koya is my favorite as well as Van! They also have a video where they come up with background stories for the character! Van represents Army- it’s a robot that protects the BT21 members! 🥰
Now that you guys know BT21, I feel like you should open a PO Box if you can and want to! So many ARMYs are eager to send you stuff, and there are so many variations to BT21 merch that I feel like would be very useful for you and your daughter 🥺💜
Love this so much! I've been requesting this for ages and screamed when I got the notification! Thank you so much. Looking forward to your reaction to the 2nd stage of development which is my favorite. Love you as always and can't wait to get back on your Patreon (currently it's declining my card). Love you guys so much.
Omg, thank you both for these reactions!!! I hope you get a chance to react to the BT21 animated short films and then the second part of BTS adding more details to their characters’ backstory!💜
BT21 became so popular that a lot of people have them and they don't know BTS are the ones that created those characters. Also, the amount of times I've seen a fake/copy of this character in my country is crazy 😭 I saw a Koya lamp but I knew it was a copy bc was other brand brand and the colors were totally different and recently I saw randomly in the supermarket a fake Cooky as a cat toy product lmao Anyways, Jin and Tae were both right. RJ and TATA are probably the most popular ones!
![[BT21] Anime Buffs React to BT21 ANIMATION](/img/n.gif)
i used to use bt21 as a way to spot army in public but the characters are so popular now that people have them without knowing they’re anything related to bts 😂
Can you plz tell me which day they reacted to of the ptd on stage in LA? . Cuz each day had something special
@@user-qd5gr8ql2w they watched the one on Disney+ so it was day2
RJ is such a main character😭😭and Jin would bring RJ around everywhere, either as a plushy or pillow or like on a key ring/chain. Several celebrities have also been seen with Chimmy or Koya products, it's all really cool!! IRL, i've seen a few people use BT21 products without knowing it was by BTS, but before that it was a great way to detect another army👀
AND HE BOOKS A SEPARATE SEAT IN A PLANE FOR RJ TOO !! I swear, RJ is the most spoiled son of Jin
Jin has promoted RJ consistently ever since they did this lol, he wears the pajamas, he uses the RJ phone case, he carries RJ as a plushie during tours, this boy really did a lot of promo and now RJ is famous like his dad lmao
Yaay, happy you did this!! BT21 is so famous nowadays, even more than BTS sometimes lol, because they have makeup, skincare and stuff, and sometimes people buys it without even knowing it's related to BTS, just buy it because it's cute!! I also really like how they did the characters, hope you keep watching more of BT21
#tinytanpavedtheway!!
@@lalapozada7834 bt21 the og
My older sister wanted to buy a bt21 merch without knowing it was BTS, we have bt21 merches more than BTS themselves
@@lalapozada7834i hate to say it but tinytan are not even on the same path of BT21
BT21 started as just characters for emoticons to the LINE friends that is a message app, and then now they have like plushies, keyrings, phone cases and they even have like a UA-cam channel and they are really like animation with voices and stuff, they also "debuted" last month i think and they sang and rapped, and it was actually a banger tbh 😂 they also have short video telling their stories before they got together!! And BTS reacted to it too, hope you can watch it all, it would be so cool and funny!!
Fun fact, Seokjin has been drawing a version of RJ for years prior to BT21. He also had a pink Alpaca that was fairly infamous. And then there was the 2016 (I think it was) April fools twitter "fight" with Namjoon where Seokjin changed there official page to pics of sand foxes saying Namjoon had the same expression, so in retaliation Namjoon changed it to alpacas saying Seokjin looked like one 🤣🤣
Also one of my favourite sound bites is Seokjin trying to pronounce 'alpaca parka' 🤣🤣He's so adorable.
"V's brain does not work the way normal people's does" No, it doesn't and we love him for that lol.
BT21 is everywhere! I kept seeing them all the time before I was even a fan. Then when I did become a fan and found out BTS created them I was shookt.
1:00:22 omg you got Shookys personality ON POINT hahah BT21 actually just had a comeback recently with their new song, I recomend you check the mv for that, it is soooo good
We always joke the only group more popular than BTS are BT21. But TinyTan are also really gaining in popularity and are getting new releases that are unfortunatly only available in US and Japan; while BT21 is older and available EVERYWHERE
This is the official BT21 music video that dropped a month ago:
ua-cam.com/video/3SaBfWYAMWM/v-deo.html
And V made a prediction on point. Tata is so famous in BT21 that they always stock up double on shelves and always sold out.
"V always thinks outside the box". ....yes he does .....you are getting to know him quickly
RJ is the beyonce of BT21 lmao
My favorite one is RJ. The jin's one.
BUT I CAN NEVER GET ONE BECAUSE THEY GETS SOLD OUT IN SECONDS !!!!
The last main merch of RJ took only 9 secs to get sold out. BT21 spreaded so much that it is more than now just part of BTS. They have their collaboration, they have their own shops and stuff people think it's trendy. Also they are the only group I stan after BTS. I believe they may or may not have surpassed them too..idk
Me too...Sold out king😌👌
Agreed! RJ is ALWAYS sold out 😭

*BT21
I have a lot of BT21, I bought all 8 character for every item, 8 BT21 pens, 8 of the 11.5cm cushions, 8 keychains and 8 Bagcharms.
And Jin's RJ is always the first to sell out 💜💜💜
I have the plush RJ, he's so cute. 😁💜💜
Also, particularly, i love the uniqueness of TATA, Taehyung was so right with what he said!! I also really like Chimmy and Cooky too!!! I love all of them but i found these three so cute!!

Then I show them this episodes, and they're embarrassed. I was laughing out loud that day, FINALLY I WIN!
oh! that was funny.
RJ became the most popular worldwide.... Its always sold out
Tata and chimmy and cooky are my favorites 🥺 . Here in south Algeria Tata and Cooky are the only characters you can find in stores I feel lucky cuz tae and jk are my biases
Actually, RJ is a big seller...all of them are great
There is also ep 13 for bt21 universe 1 💜
Actually in the Bon Voyage in Malta, you guys just watched, they use a lot of BT21 stuffs.

But now he is a chipmunk ❤
Yay!!! I'm so excited for you guys to get to the characters' stories! BTS and the LINE artists did an amazing job with them! 🥹💜
bt21 was one of the things i first saw when i became an army, now it has gotten so much bigger it is insane
shooky is my favourite little thing! it's very cute and mischievous!!
LINE FRIENDS has a store in Times Square and in Hollywood now, I think, if you guys ever travel to New York or LA you might wanna visit there lol, the ones I've been to in Korea have a big BT21 theme
BT21 has a WHOLE STORY LINE OF THEIR OWN
my favorite is rj, i woul say that rj is the most popular one too
Vanmon was RM's idea, he said when some ARMY's are sleeping, others Army's are awake as they have fans all over the world, so Van- is ARMY.
oh wow i’m so happy you guys finally saw this!!! you’ve seen these characters a lot, and each time just say, “aw that’s cute” but didn’t know that bts made them. haha that’s great, I’m glad you know now!
Yay. U finally know their characters 😄
I would love to see you react to the BT21 backrounds too!
and VAN is supposed to be ARMY. It's a protector to BT21 and see how it's half-half? half in korean is '반' = BAN/VAN ..it represents ARMY around the world (with time differences).
Bt21 is everywhere,now people even have them without knowing BTS at all
The second part to that when they do the story background is also really funny
RJ is my BT21 bias. RJ is so cute! Cooky is my second favorite and then TaTa.

He almost left before debut. He didn't actually leave though. RM almost did as well.

The one where they come up with actual backstories are very funny

I'm sorry. I couldn't help but laugh when Stephanie said, "I bet at least one of you has all of them..." Probably all of us? And multiple, multiple versions - plushies, socks, shirts, slides, pillows, computer mouses, earbuds, dog collars, utensils, toothbrushes, etc... the list goes on forever. Imagine it...and there's a BT21 product for it. I personally have all of them tattooed around my right ankle. All done by different artists so it follows the idea. The first one I got was Chimmy after the Love Yourself concert in Ft. Worth in 2018. It was peer pressure. I'm not a cutesy person. But I liked it. Then I slowly got the rest from Trader Bob's in St.Louis.
Koya(koala) and RJ (alpaca) are my fav
Hi..are you on their patreon..I also wanna join but I only have a rupay card which works only in India
omg, you guys are gonna love season 2. The back stories for all the characters are so creative!
the shooky cookie does look like his dog holly though, that's the funny part, Holly is a tiny brown fluffy dog
I always enjoy watching your reaction! Heading to patreon to watch your ptd concert reaction!!!
meanwhile im watching all of this on my bed surrounded with BT21 plushies that take most of my bed 🤣 Im glad you guys finally watched this and are able to get the BT21 references now :)
I'm SO happy you two are doing this series! I love bt21 so much. I think it's the most creative thing a music artist created and made into a brand. And for it to still be doing so well. I love it so much.
They really did Suga's dirty by making his drawing into a cooky. It's like they just made it an extra character even tho Suga said he wanted it to be like Holly (His dog). But I guess they decided not to make it a dog since Chimmy is already a dog... I wish they made Suga's into something else tho like a bird etc. Something unique maybe. Right now it's just a brown circle with a face, arms and legs..... But yeah Suga liked it so at least there's that.
I got a Run BTS recommendation: 133- 135 has among other things n hilarious scavenger hunt that has them hiding items in their company building tyring to outsmart each other
Loved watching your reaction, glad u chose these videos. They also did videos talking about their characters back stories and then the company even made animated shorts on those stories which are amazing. Looking forward to your reaction to those!
You entered another world of bts. These bt21 characters have their own contents. I hope you react to each character’s backstory and bts’ reaction to those too. I particularly adore chimmy. So cute and also the most sweet backstory
i feel so pleased when V name his BT character Tata, Cause i am TATA since birth😁..
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REACTION FROM YALL
BT21 is like the bestselling LINE characters. I collect them too. My favorites are Cooky and Chimmy. I remember wearing my Cooky hoodie at work one time and everybody wants to steal it, they don’t know it’s related to BTS. You should check out their dance performance where they wore their characters, so cute! I think it’s Anpanman for Festa.
omg i was rewatching your past run bts reactions where you can’t recognize these characters a while ago and i literally hoped that you would react to this soon😆
Finally....... I've been patiently waiting for this haha.
you should get Rosie some BT21 plushies 😊 I've seen a lot of younger kids really loving the characters, especially as plushies! Just a day or so ago I saw a tiktok of a kid's birthday party where all the kids recreated a painting of Chimmy, it was so cute!
Wes and steph me my favorite BT21 character is TATA because he is the most adorable and cute in BT21 character and Mang is the second and Chimy is the third, RJ it’s a icon, Shooky is cute to same for Koya
yayyy finally, hope u guys also react to the bt21 storyline :D
It's so refreshing to watch it again after a long time ago. I hope you continue to watch the second season of the story~ You nice keep going 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
BT21 UNIVERSE 💜💜⬇️⬇️
(BTS Making a storyline for their characters)
They’re all really short between 3-4 min long
- So reacting to all these videos together would be about an hour long 😊💜

Koya is my favorite as well as Van! They also have a video where they come up with background stories for the character! Van represents Army- it’s a robot that protects the BT21 members! 🥰
Jungkook and Jimin are the best when it comes to drawing 💖 RJ is my bt21 bias
bt21 is famous🤣🤣🤣its,almost always sold out when tour comes
Now that you guys know BT21, I feel like you should open a PO Box if you can and want to! So many ARMYs are eager to send you stuff, and there are so many variations to BT21 merch that I feel like would be very useful for you and your daughter 🥺💜
Love this so much! I've been requesting this for ages and screamed when I got the notification! Thank you so much. Looking forward to your reaction to the 2nd stage of development which is my favorite. Love you as always and can't wait to get back on your Patreon (currently it's declining my card). Love you guys so much.
I love BT21 so I’m excited you’re both watching this! My bias is Shooky, so cute 😊
I was thinking today that you guys should watch bt21 and here are you 😂 thanks
BT21 actually just had a comeback,please watch the music video it’s soo good!!
bt21 actually recently released a mixtape, like it has actual songs and a music video
yesss hope you can continue they expand on the backstory of each character
Omg, thank you both for these reactions!!! I hope you get a chance to react to the BT21 animated short films and then the second part of BTS adding more details to their characters’ backstory!💜
OMG. BT21 is literally everywhere in my country. They are so famous like their father 😂
I have Shooky and RJ hanging on my bag 💜
Guys I think you haven't check run bts fashion show ep 29 or bowling battle ep.19 they are quiet fun episodes😂👍
Stephanie looks soooo beautiful 🥺❤️
This was great!!! I hope you guys react to the rest of the series
this was really funny
The most popular is for sure RJ. Jin is one of my biases and he's always sold out. 😭 I can't find him anywhere and IF I find him he's expensive 🥹
BT21 became so popular that a lot of people have them and they don't know BTS are the ones that created those characters. Also, the amount of times I've seen a fake/copy of this character in my country is crazy 😭 I saw a Koya lamp but I knew it was a copy bc was other brand brand and the colors were totally different and recently I saw randomly in the supermarket a fake Cooky as a cat toy product lmao
Anyways, Jin and Tae were both right. RJ and TATA are probably the most popular ones!
omg yeeeey thank you for this ❤❤❤
I imagine this is how BTS would create DND characters.
My top 3 favourite are RJ, shooky and tata
Heyyyy guys, I've missed y'all💜💜💜💜
You fan from South Africa
You should also watch the Universe 1 stories.. they are really funny😂
you pronounce TATA as tahtah😂
i personally liked RJ out of all the bt21, jin’s a genius but its true that when these characters came out tata was always sold out
