Just because some have expressed some concerns: Yes I know that JK, V, & Jimin are minors in this and that they forced Jimin to flash his abs in the no more dream music video & live performances. I did not stay on the that shot for long and to be honest I freaked out more over the lyrics and dance break. I just want you guys to know I’m not trying to sexualize them in any way even though this was in 2013 and they’re grown men now...the MUSIC is the priority to me. 💜
Aw you're good Caitlin. I've never gotten the impression that you objectify them in any way, but thanks for acknowledging this anyway. Love your videos! 💜
It's fine, Caitlin. Any ARMY who would call you out because of the abs thing is a hypocrite. No one is immune. I guarantee you that 99.8% of female ARMYs do go back twice, three times, or even more when we catch a sliver of skin on any of the members. I think of it as acknowledging just how fine they are. Soft stans may be a bit conservative, but hard stans.......😏😏😏 That said, you can also watch (on your free time or if you also want to react to it) the live version of We Are Bulletproof. The MAMA 2019 performance is 👌👌
Now the only one who flashing the abs is mochi, in the live performance this dance routine is amazing 🥰 it took me 3 days to get it ,jk was 13 when he join bts there lyrics are amazing . Some songs here in Korea are bloked because of some lyrics like war of hormone, kill this love because rose was not wearing a seat belt, some mv i can't watch because there 15+] and im 15 but i watch them when you react to them miss😁🥰🥰
I always get scared when I watch the live performances of this, because I always feel like there's so much that can go wrong, but they never fail. And honestly, that's one of the reasons why they don't perform this song at all nowadays, the risk of injury is just too high. :,)
...in the same list with, “Who put that on Hobi’s neck in NMD and thought that was a good idea?” 😆 I am forever thankful to stylist noonas, they do great things for us and the boys. Truly. 💜
Bighit is not perfect. Esp. when they were small back then there were some things that could've been handled in a better way. But don't let people talk you into any misleading narratives. BTS themselves stated countless times in their Vlives, acceptance speeches etc. that they love working with BH and are thankful for all their staff who supported them from the beginning. Don't trust too much what comments tell you. Keep doing your own research. Not everyone who claims to be army is army. Best source for information are always the boys themselves:)
I agree, that why I recommend new armys like myself to watch their vlives, bangtan bombs, in the soop and the rest and just hear from the members in general
great advice! Solo stans always look for opportunities to tear Bighit down in addition to all the other toxics and haters. It’s always disappointing when other army ignore the boys attitude to their own company in favour of random hostile so called fans.
i agree and bts has shown us that they have immenses respect for BH , Hitman Bang and every single staff now they are also part owners of the company as they have shares in the company
Haven't heard them call out people... Oh my GOD! who is going to tell her about the Cyphers?? xD Me, I will! Please check out Cypher series it's 4 rap songs (by rap line), their response to haters. It's great but also pretty amazing how both their flow and message evolves, as cyphers were done through the years!
Bubbles, we need to get Caitlin some screen protectors over here. One of these days she's gonna get water all over her stuff, and we can't be having that. #ForYourProtection
I am a supporter of BigHit as a label. No one is perfect but I think they've worked really hard to support their artists, artistically, mentally, emotionally, etc.
your reactions are so cute im dyingshgh i feel like you're gonna freak out more when you watch the live performance of this. one from 2013 and one from 2019 hehehe
GURL JUST WAIT UNTIL YOU LISTEN TO THE CYPHERS 1,2,3 and 4!!!! . This when the rap line , Rm, Suga, J-Hope come together to diss out their haters . The two cyphers that KILLED ME ARE 2, and 3 for specific reasons. Ohh and I also recommend Tony Montana ft. Jimin Can’t wait 😝
Yaaaaas! I’ve been ARMY since 2013, but when I saw them perform in 2015 they took me to a place I’d NEVER known was possible. And what did it was Cyphers Pt. 3 and 2 (they did them in that order). I’m standing in the 7th row, looking all over the stage to keep track of each one, wide-eyed and slack-jawed and SHOOK. Excuse me ... excuse me ... white chick coming through ... don’t mind me, just here to pick up my wig, as you were ... I didn’t know hip hop, but I knew when I’d had my as$ kicked. 😳
Wow 🤩. I became an ARMY like the begging of 2017 . And am happy cause if I had met them earlier I don’t think I would have been an ARMY cause of my parents. I guess it is true that BTS finds you when you need them the most . One day I’ll go to their concert and experience that too 😖 .
Yeah, the lyrics for this song are so underrated. People get so sucked into the dancing (understandably) that they miss the straight fire they're spitting.
So glad you are reacting to this. It's part 2 because their promo trailer before they debuted is part 1. Let's talk about that belly flash as you saw everyone did it, but in later performances only Jimin was to do them. When Jimin was to go on stage to do it he was nervous and said " What if everyone laughs at me and my belly (WHAT???) after the show he gets back stage and everyone said that he was smiling so big and he was like everyone liked it. They screamed to be exact so Jimin continues to raise his shirt to this day when they do this song. I know and with arms like that he was worried about his abs being up to par. It was so good. Just as a side note they decided they did not want to take off their clothes Jimin and Jk flash their abs because they wanted to do it. The label gave them a bunch of freedom to make their music their way, that's what I love about Big Hit, they didn't have to but they did. In fact it was probably scary for BH because they were on the verge of bankruptcy but they put their trust in BTS and in paid back in spades. You said his name right btw, JK, everyone was saying that they were not as good as other groups but JK all by himself called out. In other agencies if you can dance your in, they try to teach you to sing after the fact but if you can't they label you a rapper and then write lyrics for you. That was Jk's lyrics. With J-Hope he was a dancer, big time, he also sang but as far as tenors go they had Jk their main, Jin (who at the time couldn't really dance ) and Jimin who was really a countertenor but no one knew at that time. So another tenor they felt was too much, he sings more now that Jimin has come into his voice better. So anyway that is why they had J-Hope rap also Jungkook was doing so much dancing singing main being the front of BTS so to have him rap would mean he would have no time to rest between songs in concerts and in fact at a concert in South America he fainted and was having trouble breathing, I think his temperature was high, everyone was scared for him, I think that is when they decided to cut his raps. RM he was told he couldn't rap anymore so that is why he became an idol mostly by salty rappers who decided they didn't want to join and "idol" group" or probably more like they couldn't do the choreo. It was the reason I started listening to their music and became their fan in 2013.
I became their fan in 2013 too! JK’s passing out was largely due to two things at that concert. First, he was going REALLY hard. (The boy just loves to perform, and to give ARMY his all.) RM cautioned him to dial it back in order to ‘save some for the rest of the tour.’ Second, the elevation was getting to him. So not only was he pushing himself, he wasn’t aware of the thinner air or how it would affect him. I don’t recall them addressing this piece specifically, but besides being sweaty from exertion, it would also make sense that his body was working hard to expel the heat in order to manage the differences. It’s natural for the body to work to cool itself down through sweating. When they really need to get scared is if he would slip into ‘cold and clammy’ because then he’s crossed over into heat stroke! I’m SO glad it didn’t come to that. Side note: I will never not melt into a comPLETE puddle at how, despite shooing everyone away, Jimin returns because he’s such a lover and CAN’T not attend to his maknae. The worried look on his face made me want to take him into my arms and rock him for comfort. #hopeless 😆
@@LillianOglethorpe I know Jimin was so cute looking after Jk and when he cut himself on the foot and Jimin comes running in and says I ran over thinking you would be crying and Jk says almost did but because I thought that I wouldn't be able to perform. Then Jimin turns his head and says you won't dance. awwww. But it still stands that after this Jk didn't rap unless it was special like at the last muster.
I found their old songs after being into their newer work for a couple of month. I laughed my ass off watching their old mvs. They look like babies and try so hard to look cool ahjsododldi I love it.
V growls even more in the live versions. It sounds better live in my Opinion XD And it doesn't sound like jin because he wasn't that good at singing when they first started :)
@@coco-de5vj I feel your defensiveness fam, Jin is a hard worker and ever-growing talented musician. I think what the op might be trying to say is that Jin wasn’t *as* good of a singer *as he is now*. He was good enough for them to have him in the group, and we know he’s gone on to amazing heights in both singing and dancing. (He was singing and dancing circles around ME even at debut. Sheesh.) I don’t think there was any intent to demean or minimize, but to explain why there is a difference from what she knows of today. That’s just a guess of course. All I know is that I will forever have respect for Jin’s very hard work, and his growth...which shows that he does, indeed, have talent. (And I’m jelly.😛) 💜
@@coco-de5vj because he trained that hard, he is now called the "silver voice" and he prove all what you can achieve with hard work. It's normal to not be that good at the beginning,when he still had 0 experience, but look at him now being one of the top voices 💜
I'm so used to fast-forwarding or leaving when the music is no longer played in other reaction videos, but when I think about doing that here, you catch me with what you're saying and I end up looking at everything. Great video 💜
I literally just love your laugh...it gives me such happy vibes and puts me in a good mood 😊 I am really enjoying watching your really genuine reactions. As Jimin says 'You Nice Keep Going' 💜💜💜
I hope you see this comment because it feels like there is a bit of context missing for you. Jimin wasn't "forced" to flash his abs. It was his concept as they call it in the industry. As you know in most groups there are always characters that are assigned to each member to make them unique in the eyes of the viewer. And it's not just in kpop, think of spice girls for example they were also fitting each one into a concept (sporty, baby, scary, etc.). Bighit had these also assigned to the boys but they tried to pick ones that are already close to their real personalities (like how they called tae alien because he is very goofy and has a unique mind) but as u know, no one actually fits perfectly into 1 label and as they grew from being teenagers their personalities started to change too. By that time the constraint of always fitting into one mold had negative effects on some of the boys (like with jimin feeling overly conscious of his body because of the expectation to stay perfect and keep the manly body with a baby face concept) When the company noticed the change in the guys and they talked about it with them, things started to change and they no longer had a role to act and if you see their variety shows, interviews and lives you'll see that shift clearly. Which is practically unheard of in kpop. I won't say bighit never made a mistake, because they did and still do, but they listen to the boys and try their best to make it better for them. As far as i know, they are the only label that actually provides counseling for the members to help their mental health and for that alone they have my respect as a company.
Well said, fam! Actually, JYP (the only un-problematic of the now-former Big Three 😉) has had a counseling staff for all of its employees for a while now. He made a significant shift in not only the production structure within the company, but at the same time added a whole organic cafeteria option and counselors to look after their mental health. Bang PD worked at JYPE, and it makes sense that they have things like that in common. 🤗 But truly, BigHit is an extremely innovative company and Hitman Bang is, in many ways, a pioneer. 💜
Well they definetly made it clear who they are.. and I'm so proud... and you have to see that song live Cait.. amazing.. I hope you continue the habits series.. see you next time.. purple you💜👋🏻
This song got me into BTS in 2014. After that I checked them out and heard their song “I like It” and that song solidified me as an Army. Rest is history. 😂 I remember Suga caught my eyes cuz of the goggles.
I yelled so often during this that, when I realized my roommate was home, I had to pause and go into the kitchen to reassure him "everything's okay, just my baby boys being lyrical geniuses."
I love your giggles, lol. Great reaction, baby BTS has had great lyrics from the very beggining and the choreo just added to it with that dance break by the 3J's is iconic, especially Jimin's jump over Jhope. You should see them perform this song live at the 2019 MAMA awards, would love to see your reaction. 😄💜
Guurrrllll, your reaction was epic. You need a t-shirt that says "What tha HELL!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love they came out with swagger from the jump. This being their second vid... speaking their success into existence. Bless their 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 s
You are so right to give props to the label Big Hit. Wow. If I could sing or rap I’d head to Korea. They are phenomenal. Then they way everybody in the group gets their chance to shine is just great. Man you will know who everyone in the group’s name. I still don’t know all the name’s of the original members of Destiny ‘s Child. On top of that their BTS’ label gives them the opportunity to explore their on likes in music,(they release their own solo albums, and write most of the songs for their group) which I think has also kept them tight. You know that in America we get a good group then somebody thinks they are “the voice”, which is usually the lead singer because that’s all the focus is on and the other members are for all intents and purposes backup singers. The lead gets the big head and leaves and the group is gone. On the other hand there will be good groups or solo artists that are great but they let them fall to the way side. Sorry for the long post.😀
This was so fun to watch :) I haven‘t been an ARMY for very long at this point as well, so it‘s great to dig up on BTS earlier songs like this one with you. And your reactions are just everything, especially love your giggles ☺️💜
You are spot on giving a shout out to BigHit. Thank you for remembering that BTS is not just the seven idols we see, but the hundreds of people we don't get to see, who do the work to make sure we, the public, see and admire the boys. People complain about how poorly they were treated in the beginning - and, granted, there were some poor choices made in some of the staff in the beginning. As a poor company, they were not able to pick and choose from the best people. Sometimes, they had to take what they could get. So yeah, that was definitely not good. But the diets, the restrictions, the hard choices - this is what it takes to make a nobody INTO a somebody. It takes things most of us would consider harsh or unacceptable in our daily lives to achieve superstardom. This is why we have celebrities - it is what makes the difference between idols and average people. The boys are the biggest group in the world - not because they were coddled and spoiled as trainees and rookies, but BECAUSE they worked their asses off and did the hard stuff to get there. People like to admire them and praise their hard work and ethic - but then they complain about what constituted that hard work and ethic. BigHit is not a perfect company, but they did an amazing job raising the boys to be the polite, hard working, humble, talented, highly skilled, professional, free thinking, independent, and amazing human beings they are today. And that is a result of the bad stuff as well as the good. If no one ever had to endure hardships, no one would ever have had to find inner strength and determination.
Hi Caitlin! I loved your reaction to this video especially when you freaked out 4 times....you just make my day hands down. I can't wait for you to see their Cyphers and other amazing songs too! This was a treat....take care and enjoy your evening🙂💜
Another terrific entry! This is one of my favorite highway songs (oh heck, most all are, but still...). Speaking of which, I'd LOVE to see you react (freak out) to Airplane, Pt. 2!
I think one of the things that makes the ab reveal stand out ( even when we know they were technically minors then) is that they don't do it anymore. Other that a flash here and there of some skin they almost go out of their way not reveal any skin. People trying to throw shade need to be real that they also probably had a mini freak out.
They performed this song at the MAMA2019 performance on a scale in every sense. You need to see this. But check out N.O. and Dionysus first, as they performed them too. Also if you want to see more cheeky lyrics you need to check out the cypher series. There are only 4 of them, and they are performed by rappers! Love your reactions💜
To get to know the members, you should also check out their solo work especially the rap line's solo works! you get to know them more with the way they express themselves in their mixtapes
Big Hit actually got recognised by various business platforms as the most innovative company in an entertainment business and for the ceo to awarded each members 30m USD worth of shares in BigHit shows his sincerity and being praised by lots of industry critics saying this could be a method to give more to artists. Like you said they gave lots of freedom to BTS and they even provide in-house Psychiatrist for their artists which is a new way to help artists dealings with real issues dealing with fame. BH see themselves as content creators and let the artists do their music and what I think they did successfully is to build a brand for BTS and expand the brand so the cake gets bigger and the company don’t have to steal from the artists as the cake is so big that both the company and artists benefit. Lastly they are still independent and don’t have to do promotion using mainstream media as all promotion goes directly to fans with their own apps and other social media platforms. I don’t think their success can be replicate it takes the right artists and the right company to achieve this kind of success
They all were legendary from the start I wish I was army back then but better late than never .. React to We are bulletproof:Eternal you will cry 🥲 ahhhh I am just in love with them 💜
There is this really good new documentary series called The Rise of Bangtan which is really good, it's clever made without a narrator, just by putting clips from them (logs, interviews etc.) from a certain time together together. Every part is about a certain time and topic (predebut, first ep, second ep) It has 4 episodes as of now and will get more with time. It also explains the industry and how the labels work as context to Bangtans story. Maybe you are interested in this kind of stuff, for you to watch on your own or on your channel or pattern. I just wanted to let you know that this exist :)
Bighit does give them creative freedom. I've never known of anything they "forced" the boys to do. Even the Jimin/abs things. BH is a business, so you can't stan a business, but overall they really are a good company & gives ALL it's artists freedom & will respect it's artists wishes if they really do/don't want to do something. They're not perfect ofc, but in comparison to most lables i've looked into (korean & US), they're by far the best to the artists in all aspects. And they're very business savy. And the boys have always had good things to say about their boss Bang PD & the company. Hell, they signed another 7 year contract with them when they could have left & still been successful. Trust the boys, they're there because they want to be. I just want you to be careful of others opinions. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of people who only have accounts to bash the boys, the company, etc. In the end just trust the boys. If they had problems, they'd leave. But they say just the opposite about the company. At the end of the day BH is trying to do things to make money. It's what they're supposed to do. Concepts such as "muscular" bodies, etc are concepts that they've tried to see if it works. When Jimin didn't want it anymore, no one ever (besides "fans") tried to pressure him to do it again. So take everything people say with a heavy hand of salt, including me, & research stuff yourself, as you're doing. While i love this fandom, there are a lot of toxic people in it or that claim they're ARMY who spread opinions as facts, & create "proof" with out of context information or confirmation bias things. I know you know this, lol. Just be careful is all.
I always love your reactions! Your reactions are always so funny and hyped! I love that you genuinely enjoy BTS music and lyrics. So looking forward to your next reaction to their music 💜💜💜💜😉😉

RM cautioned him to dial it back in order to ‘save some for the rest of the tour.’ Second, the elevation was getting to him. So not only was he pushing himself, he wasn’t aware of the thinner air or how it would affect him. I don’t recall them addressing this piece specifically, but besides being sweaty from exertion, it would also make sense that his body was working hard to expel the heat in order to manage the differences. It’s natural for the body to work to cool itself down through sweating. When they really need to get scared is if he would slip into ‘cold and clammy’ because then he’s crossed over into heat stroke! I’m SO glad it didn’t come to that.
Side note: I will never not melt into a comPLETE puddle at how, despite shooing everyone away, Jimin returns because he’s such a lover and CAN’T not attend to his maknae. The worried look on his face made me want to take him into my arms and rock him for comfort.
#hopeless 😆
@@LillianOglethorpe I know Jimin was so cute looking after Jk and when he cut himself on the foot and Jimin comes running in and says I ran over thinking you would be crying and Jk says almost did but because I thought that I wouldn't be able to perform. Then Jimin turns his head and says you won't dance. awwww. But it still stands that after this Jk didn't rap unless it was special like at the last muster.
@@VAngel876 Definitely. Those guys...they just breathe and my heart is a puddle. 🤗💜
it really leJindary
how cool it is when everytime they perform their debut songs it still hits harder up to this day
I found their old songs after being into their newer work for a couple of month. I laughed my ass off watching their old mvs. They look like babies and try so hard to look cool ahjsododldi I love it.
V growls even more in the live versions. It sounds better live in my Opinion XD And it doesn't sound like jin because he wasn't that good at singing when they first started :)
Jin did not do training at Bighit for ya’ll to say he was not good at singing, that’s just the way he sounded and he sounded good.
@@coco-de5vj I feel your defensiveness fam, Jin is a hard worker and ever-growing talented musician.
I think what the op might be trying to say is that Jin wasn’t *as* good of a singer *as he is now*. He was good enough for them to have him in the group, and we know he’s gone on to amazing heights in both singing and dancing. (He was singing and dancing circles around ME even at debut. Sheesh.) I don’t think there was any intent to demean or minimize, but to explain why there is a difference from what she knows of today.
That’s just a guess of course. All I know is that I will forever have respect for Jin’s very hard work, and his growth...which shows that he does, indeed, have talent. (And I’m jelly.😛)
💜
@@coco-de5vj if you listen to him back then vs now you can clearly see jin wasn't that great back then. You can see he improved alot.
@@LillianOglethorpe very well stated 💜
@@coco-de5vj because he trained that hard, he is now called the "silver voice" and he prove all what you can achieve with hard work. It's normal to not be that good at the beginning,when he still had 0 experience, but look at him now being one of the top voices 💜
I'm so used to fast-forwarding or leaving when the music is no longer played in other reaction videos, but when I think about doing that here, you catch me with what you're saying and I end up looking at everything. Great video 💜
This reaction is all of us when we first saw this mv. Didn't know how to act or what to do, my emotions all over the place xD
Caitlin is me whenever I watch a MV no matter HOW MANY TIMES I've watched it before
I love your excited giggles when they do something cool. Me at home = the same
your giggles are so energizing! So fun seeing you love the boys in all their various forms!
I literally just love your laugh...it gives me such happy vibes and puts me in a good mood 😊 I am really enjoying watching your really genuine reactions. As Jimin says 'You Nice Keep Going' 💜💜💜
I hope you see this comment because it feels like there is a bit of context missing for you.
Jimin wasn't "forced" to flash his abs. It was his concept as they call it in the industry.
As you know in most groups there are always characters that are assigned to each member to make them unique in the eyes of the viewer. And it's not just in kpop, think of spice girls for example they were also fitting each one into a concept (sporty, baby, scary, etc.). Bighit had these also assigned to the boys but they tried to pick ones that are already close to their real personalities (like how they called tae alien because he is very goofy and has a unique mind) but as u know, no one actually fits perfectly into 1 label and as they grew from being teenagers their personalities started to change too. By that time the constraint of always fitting into one mold had negative effects on some of the boys (like with jimin feeling overly conscious of his body because of the expectation to stay perfect and keep the manly body with a baby face concept)
When the company noticed the change in the guys and they talked about it with them, things started to change and they no longer had a role to act and if you see their variety shows, interviews and lives you'll see that shift clearly. Which is practically unheard of in kpop.
I won't say bighit never made a mistake, because they did and still do, but they listen to the boys and try their best to make it better for them. As far as i know, they are the only label that actually provides counseling for the members to help their mental health and for that alone they have my respect as a company.
Well said, fam! Actually, JYP (the only un-problematic of the now-former Big Three 😉) has had a counseling staff for all of its employees for a while now. He made a significant shift in not only the production structure within the company, but at the same time added a whole organic cafeteria option and counselors to look after their mental health. Bang PD worked at JYPE, and it makes sense that they have things like that in common. 🤗 But truly, BigHit is an extremely innovative company and Hitman Bang is, in many ways, a pioneer. 💜
Well they definetly made it clear who they are.. and I'm so proud... and you have to see that song live Cait.. amazing.. I hope you continue the habits series.. see you next time.. purple you💜👋🏻
This song got me into BTS in 2014. After that I checked them out and heard their song “I like It” and that song solidified me as an Army. Rest is history. 😂 I remember Suga caught my eyes cuz of the goggles.
You freaking out multiple times is just what I needed this morning. 😂
I yelled so often during this that, when I realized my roommate was home, I had to pause and go into the kitchen to reassure him "everything's okay, just my baby boys being lyrical geniuses."
They were so young and so cute. Makes me feel like teenager again, at least for a few minutes.🥰💜💜💜💜
I love your giggles, lol. Great reaction, baby BTS has had great lyrics from the very beggining and the choreo just added to it with that dance break by the 3J's is iconic, especially Jimin's jump over Jhope.
You should see them perform this song live at the 2019 MAMA awards, would love to see your reaction. 😄💜
And they can still do that dance break at the end. Last time they did it was 2020.
the rise of bangtan japan epilogue is the epitome of taehyung's growling
Freak out #1 (and it begins..)
WE ARE BULLETPROOF ETERNAL IS MY FAVORITE THAT MAKES ME CRY EVERYTIME
I love how you pay attention to the lyrics
I 💜 U
I really try to pause alot because I don't want this to end 😂💜
LOVE YOUR REACTION SO MUCH!!!!! and you just show the right emotions at the right moments and love how you dive deeper into the lyrics!! love you!!!
Caitlin you need to see them do this live! It’s still amazing! Love your reactionsss :)
Guurrrllll, your reaction was epic. You need a t-shirt that says "What tha HELL!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love they came out with swagger from the jump. This being their second vid... speaking their success into existence. Bless their 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 s
Next is N.O!! N.O is top tier in lyrics also!!🤭
Picking a favorite BTS song is as hard as picking a bias. The songs are all favorite wreckers :p
You are so right to give props to the label Big Hit. Wow. If I could sing or rap I’d head to Korea. They are phenomenal. Then they way everybody in the group gets their chance to shine is just great. Man you will know who everyone in the group’s name. I still don’t know all the name’s of the original members of Destiny ‘s Child. On top of that their BTS’ label gives them the opportunity to explore their on likes in music,(they release their own solo albums, and write most of the songs for their group) which I think has also kept them tight. You know that in America we get a good group then somebody thinks they are “the voice”, which is usually the lead singer because that’s all the focus is on and the other members are for all intents and purposes backup singers. The lead gets the big head and leaves and the group is gone. On the other hand there will be good groups or solo artists that are great but they let them fall to the way side. Sorry for the long post.😀
This was so fun to watch :) I haven‘t been an ARMY for very long at this point as well, so it‘s great to dig up on BTS earlier songs like this one with you. And your reactions are just everything, especially love your giggles ☺️💜
You are spot on giving a shout out to BigHit. Thank you for remembering that BTS is not just the seven idols we see, but the hundreds of people we don't get to see, who do the work to make sure we, the public, see and admire the boys. People complain about how poorly they were treated in the beginning - and, granted, there were some poor choices made in some of the staff in the beginning. As a poor company, they were not able to pick and choose from the best people. Sometimes, they had to take what they could get. So yeah, that was definitely not good. But the diets, the restrictions, the hard choices - this is what it takes to make a nobody INTO a somebody. It takes things most of us would consider harsh or unacceptable in our daily lives to achieve superstardom. This is why we have celebrities - it is what makes the difference between idols and average people. The boys are the biggest group in the world - not because they were coddled and spoiled as trainees and rookies, but BECAUSE they worked their asses off and did the hard stuff to get there. People like to admire them and praise their hard work and ethic - but then they complain about what constituted that hard work and ethic. BigHit is not a perfect company, but they did an amazing job raising the boys to be the polite, hard working, humble, talented, highly skilled, professional, free thinking, independent, and amazing human beings they are today. And that is a result of the bad stuff as well as the good. If no one ever had to endure hardships, no one would ever have had to find inner strength and determination.
This is still one of my top favorite BTS songs lol. "Attack on Bangtan/Rise of Bangtan" is another old forever favorite of mine XD
Singularity and Stigma says hi...
Girllll your reactions are the best! You always make my day💜
I already knew you were gonna freak out at the abs😂
Hi Caitlin! I loved your reaction to this video especially when you freaked out 4 times....you just make my day hands down. I can't wait for you to see their Cyphers and other amazing songs too! This was a treat....take care and enjoy your evening🙂💜
"I can only take one at a time" 😂😂😂 OMG!!! You´re killing me with your reactions....THANK YOU!!! 💜
WAB pt2 is so incredible LIVE
WE GOT FED AGAIN THANK YOU CAITLIN
i love it!! the live version in MAMA 2019 is INSANE
Another terrific entry! This is one of my favorite highway songs (oh heck, most all are, but still...). Speaking of which, I'd LOVE to see you react (freak out) to Airplane, Pt. 2!
I think one of the things that makes the ab reveal stand out ( even when we know they were technically minors then) is that they don't do it anymore. Other that a flash here and there of some skin they almost go out of their way not reveal any skin.
People trying to throw shade need to be real that they also probably had a mini freak out.
I'm looking forward to your reaction to Blood Sweat and Tears now! Preferably straight after WAB2, hahahaaaaaaa.... Shock factor guaranteed.
They performed this song at the MAMA2019 performance on a scale in every sense. You need to see this. But check out N.O. and Dionysus first, as they performed them too.
Also if you want to see more cheeky lyrics you need to check out the cypher series. There are only 4 of them, and they are performed by rappers!
Love your reactions💜
Girl your laugh is everything lol. I love your reactions, you nice keep going💜
bro it’s been so long since i’ve seen we are bulletproof pt 2😭😭
I was suppose to sleep, I clicked so fast, your laughter got me out of sleepiness.
I really love your reactions. 💜
One of my favs! 💜
You and I had the exact same reaction when I first watched this MV.💜💜💜💜
To get to know the members, you should also check out their solo work especially the rap line's solo works! you get to know them more with the way they express themselves in their mixtapes
the way that this debut was intimidating af
i like your reactions, it feels like im watching it for the first time again : (
Every time Caitlin freaks out I'm like cmooon read the wall!!!! 𝒞𝒶𝓁𝓂 & 𝒷𝓇𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉 👁️👄👁️
Love seeing BTS flex with real Gucci clothes at Award Show, performing this track with Confident Swag 🔥😎
Big Hit actually got recognised by various business platforms as the most innovative company in an entertainment business and for the ceo to awarded each members 30m USD worth of shares in BigHit shows his sincerity and being praised by lots of industry critics saying this could be a method to give more to artists. Like you said they gave lots of freedom to BTS and they even provide in-house Psychiatrist for their artists which is a new way to help artists dealings with real issues dealing with fame. BH see themselves as content creators and let the artists do their music and what I think they did successfully is to build a brand for BTS and expand the brand so the cake gets bigger and the company don’t have to steal from the artists as the cake is so big that both the company and artists benefit. Lastly they are still independent and don’t have to do promotion using mainstream media as all promotion goes directly to fans with their own apps and other social media platforms. I don’t think their success can be replicate it takes the right artists and the right company to achieve this kind of success
attack on bangtan is good for a growling Tae :P
I'm so happy you unloaded💜💜
everytime you call us bubbles it makes me flustered 😳🤚🏻
Omg I lovvvveee ur freak outs it reminds me of the first time I watched it

I genuinely love your reactions💜💜 you're so relatable!!!
I love this song and your reaction . . . giggle, giggle, squeeee, giggle . . . LOL!
If you want a showcase of low voice V, I highly recommend going through the BTS album Intros so you can get to 'Singularity'.
Caitlin, you're so funny. I really enjoy your reactions.
Lyrics: "My name is Jungkook, NATIONwide scale!"
Jk in that one video: INTERNATIONAL PLAYBOY 😂😂
"What the hell- ANGEL!!"
LMAO the way you say "angel" so casually when he is CLEARLY doing un-angel like things SKDJDHAKSHAJ
Thank you again... I am struggling right now and need a laugh...and the boys lyrics help... I look forward to your next 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🇨🇦
They all were legendary from the start I wish I was army back then but better late than never ..
React to We are bulletproof:Eternal you will cry 🥲 ahhhh I am just in love with them 💜
There is this really good new documentary series called The Rise of Bangtan which is really good, it's clever made without a narrator, just by putting clips from them (logs, interviews etc.) from a certain time together together. Every part is about a certain time and topic (predebut, first ep, second ep) It has 4 episodes as of now and will get more with time. It also explains the industry and how the labels work as context to Bangtans story. Maybe you are interested in this kind of stuff, for you to watch on your own or on your channel or pattern. I just wanted to let you know that this exist :)
Yaaas Caitlin. Legendary!
Bighit does give them creative freedom. I've never known of anything they "forced" the boys to do. Even the Jimin/abs things. BH is a business, so you can't stan a business, but overall they really are a good company & gives ALL it's artists freedom & will respect it's artists wishes if they really do/don't want to do something. They're not perfect ofc, but in comparison to most lables i've looked into (korean & US), they're by far the best to the artists in all aspects. And they're very business savy. And the boys have always had good things to say about their boss Bang PD & the company. Hell, they signed another 7 year contract with them when they could have left & still been successful. Trust the boys, they're there because they want to be. I just want you to be careful of others opinions. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of people who only have accounts to bash the boys, the company, etc. In the end just trust the boys. If they had problems, they'd leave. But they say just the opposite about the company. At the end of the day BH is trying to do things to make money. It's what they're supposed to do. Concepts such as "muscular" bodies, etc are concepts that they've tried to see if it works. When Jimin didn't want it anymore, no one ever (besides "fans") tried to pressure him to do it again. So take everything people say with a heavy hand of salt, including me, & research stuff yourself, as you're doing. While i love this fandom, there are a lot of toxic people in it or that claim they're ARMY who spread opinions as facts, & create "proof" with out of context information or confirmation bias things. I know you know this, lol. Just be careful is all.
I always love your reactions! Your reactions are always so funny and hyped! I love that you genuinely enjoy BTS music and lyrics. So looking forward to your next reaction to their music 💜💜💜💜😉😉
The perfect reaction
