Popular music usually doesn't represent artist very well. If you are really interested in BTS music I recommend you Black swan, Mic drop, UGH, Fake love, On
That’s great suggestions! When I was looking at ones to watch these were recommended but I totally get that it wouldn’t represent well. Will check those others out for sure!
@@nikitta1555 yes but they are completely correct in that you can't understand the depth of bts and why armys truly appreciate them the amount they do by just looking at the most popular songs, the most of the rest of the discography is actually what represents bts, the power of their songwriting and composition. i'd even argue their b-sides represent them more than title tracks.
ask yourself why music in a foreign language throw you off. we - people from not english speaking countries, are listening to your "english" music all the time and have no problem if we don't understand it, because music has no boundaries, if you love it then you love it. and if we want to understand it we just use subtitles and translations. it's that easy. but a lot of you native english speakers think you are superior for some strange reason. you don't need to emphasize that they are foreigners it's not a critique, just enjoy or don't enjoy their music/videos/performances
@@nonamegee326 And they ALWAYS compare them with a western artist,as if it isn't possible to enjoy artists from a non western country without finding a western box to put them in.I'm British but still get seriously annoyed.
This is a good point! This was my first experience with music not in English- that's really the only reason I was mentioning it. I never thought of non English speaking people listening to English speaking music before, but it seems that there is a lot to learn! :D
Well said English is not my first language, i used to listen to english, mandarin, cantonese, japanese, korean songs, ya so i dont have that ‘not my languages or i donno what the songs are saying ‘problems, becoz good music have no boundary, all translations on the internet you can easily check what the lyrics mean.. thats not a problem tho
About the storyline thing, no body has storylines as amazing as BTS. They are following a storyline since the very beginning. You can't understand the storyline through one music video. To understand it you need to not only watch each of their MVs carefully, but also focus on every single detail, the name of the album, the name of each of the song, the chronology, everything. BTS is a black hole. You can't come out once you step in.
@@BenCooperMLM do not go into storyline until you recognize them clearly, this will only create more confusion. as the storyline itself is very confusing. so first you can react to black swan and then " who is BTS' their introduction and documentries to know them. beside that welcome to BTS WORLD. ARMY welcome you.
@@_Petrichor_ I totally agree ! I guess it was easier if you watched them from the beginning and had all those MVs step by step cause at this point it’s too much 😂 I think trying to understand the MVS storyline makes sense when you know their songs a more.
I think some Americans just forget from time to time that the rest of the world exists 😅😅. If you are born in a country where English is not the native language you have literally grown up your entire life listening to music "in a different language", many times without being able to understand the lyrics. In Europe it's actually quite normal to hear on the radio music in Spanish, French, Italian...it doesn't matter in which country you live. And English is actually only spoken in a handful of countries as a mother tongue. So it doesn't cease to amaze me how some English speakers (mostly Americans) seem to have never been exposed to any music in any other language than English 😂, and they react to it like it's some kind of super weird thing to listen to a song without understanding the lyrics 🤣🤣🤣
if he only knew how much armys head blew everytime they come up for a music video,rethinking about the past videos to connect,the symbols,the colors lol they are all connected if not it has deep meaning...hehe comeback season is here our heads will hurt again...
The deeper you dig into their discography, the more versatile they get. They really cover a wide range of genres. Their popular music is definitely absolute bops but do check out other songs like black swan, spring day, Outro: tear, paradise, life goes on, and many more.
@@BenCooperMLM I had no idea they were so versatile when I started going into them too. I saw these first songs but while they were good they weren’t my type of songs but in introduction to BTS videos they have a lot of songs that are “smaller” and I fell in love with those
So a few things... First: With BTS, the true magic is in their B sides. Album title tracks (like both songs you just listened to) are meant to have the broadest appeal so their sound is going to be a bit more traditionally "poppy". If you want to understand how BTS are as artists, check out some b sides (lots of people have already recommended some good ones). Second: BTS is like a trifle (or your layered dessert of choice). There's a surface layer that can be take at face value (ie: Boy With Love = a song about love). Then, if you go a little deeper and read the lyrics you might see that it's not just about loving someone because of superficial reasons, but really wanting to understand someone and to appreciate all the small things that others might take for granted. Then if you go a bit deeper and make the Boy In Luv connection you'll see that it also shows growth from young boys with crushes to having a true adult relationship. And then if you go just a bit deeper...you're ARMY (lol) you know this song is for us and how BTS and ARMY are connected through the small experiences we share. All that is to say, you can be a casual listener of BTS and just appreciate how their songs sound, or you can do a little digging and discover how powerful their lyrics and messages are. Third: As an aid to any lyrical digging you want to do, I will always suggest Doolset Bangtan (on Twitter, or she has a website). She is a great ARMY translator and she also adds cultural references or translation notes to help bridge the cultural divide. Of course there are a slew of great translators on Twitter, I just always come back to her. Fourth: Lots of people recommended songs, I'm going to recommend a whole album. Love Yourself: Tear (in my opinion) is one of their best albums from top to bottom (Map of the Soul 7 is a close second for me). Sonically, lyrically, visually... it just has so much going for it, so I will always encourage people to experience that album as a whole. Thank you for reading my novel, and thanks for your reaction!
UA-cam’s closed captioning is reliable as long as it’s not “auto-generated” (you can check by clicking the little settings in the bottom, right-hand corner and seeing; it should say if it’s generated). But don’t worry none of BTS’ English subtitles are auto-generated. At least for their mvs :)
I find it quite interesting that every “criticism” that you have for the videos you reacted to, don’t necessarily apply to their other videos. Such as when you said “there doesn’t seem to be a storyline” yet bts have a whole universe story line thing that runs through some of their videos 😂. I don’t mean this in a bad way, I just find it really interesting and cool. I recommend black swan, I need u and ON, I also recommend reacting to some of their live performances. They are well known for being AMAZING performers, such as the MMA 2020 and 2019 performances which went viral because of how extraordinary they were. Also, there is Korean next to the English title of the music videos which is the translation/equivalent title in Korean, so they have different song names in English. I.e. the Korean name for boy with luv is “A poem for small things”. They just tend to have English names for the songs so that foreign fans can find them easier online and also so we can read them 😅
that's great that they will have stories in others! definitely makes me want to watch more! I almost like "A poem for small things" more than Boy with Luv hahaha
I would strongly recommend MMA 2019, for two reasons. First, it’s a long ass stage, and us ARMYs love king reactions so if you react to it pls don’t cut it. Also, there’s a member missing (SUGA, the first rapper in BWL) in the 2020 performance due to a surgery for his injured shoulder. 💜💜 loved your reaction
@@BenCooperMLM "Boy with luv" is a play on one of their earliest songs "Boy in luv". The choreography and ending pose is also a bit of a callback to that earlier song.
@@danaest-louis6094 While I do love MMA 2019 I think he needs to get to know them a little more before reacting to it. Only BTS can get a 37 minute set at an award show. The US would never allow that much time for any music artist.
RM is the leader, the guy rapping in a white suit in Boy With Luv. His role is really to liaise between the members and the company rather than being 'in charge' , but since he is fluent in English he naturally has the most to do when they have foreign interviews. The other members are working hard on their english skills too; bioth because they want to communicate with their fans more, but also to give RM a break!
The fact that a lot people think that the leaders of a group hold some kind of privilege or have more skill than the other members just goes to show how sucky the leaders of American groups must be :/ A good leader isn’t supposed to flaunt their power or superiority, they’re supposed to be more responsible and provide support for their fellow members.
BTS right now are nominated at GRAMMYs for "Best Pop Duo/Group Performance". BTS is the biggest group in the world with the five number one albums in US, three of which were within a year. They have two RIAA platinum album certifications. They beat Michael Jackson's record and Beatles' record, they won top group awards at Billboard music award, American Music Awards, MTV EMA, People's Choice Awards, awards at VMAs, they performed at Grammy's, they gave speech at UN twice. They are the first act in history to earn the top 2 best selling albums on a year-end IFPI chart (pure sales). And there is just a few of their achievements. All seven members of BTS are very involved into creative process. Most of the songs are written by their rappers (RM, SUGA, J-Hope). RM is credited as songwriter in 171 songs, SUGA - 124, J-Hope - 112. RM debuted on Billboard Hot 100 Songwriters Chart at #3, Suga - at #9. But vocalists (Jin, Jimin, V, Jungkook) are participating in songwriting and composing as well. The members are also involved into producing. BTS do a lot of different genres: Hip Hop, R&B, Latin, Pop, EDM, Ballads, Rock, etc. Most of their songs touch serious topics such as mental health and social problems. That's why the age and gender of their fans are very diverse. Some suggestions for your reactions: BTS - "Black swan" MV. BTS - "On. Kinetic Manifesto Film: Come Prima" (they won "best pop" and "best choreography" at VMAs for this song). BTS - "Mic drop" MV. Their official MVs have CC in english so you can turn them on to understand what they are saying.
@@jessiejameson9991 and i was wondering if you guys really typed such long comments like this.. that would be tiring... but yeah, I agree to your comment hahaha
I loved your reaction! I looked through the comments and I saw that basically everyone already told you a lot of stuff I wanted to say, so I’m just gonna tell you this, if when you activate the cc it says just “English” and not “auto-generated English”, then it’s probably okay, and put there by a translator! Also, just an interesting thing as a non-English speaker, most people that listen to English songs actually don’t understand the words, lots of my friends don’t know what their favorite song means and are just listening to the music. Not to talk about older people that didn’t get to learn a lot of English in school, they don’t even bother to look up the translation. So it might be a bit weird for English speakers to not understand a song without a translation, but it’s perfectly normal for most of the world. That’s something that I find kind of funny when I watch reactions to non-English music!
Oh dang I had no clue about the auto-generated English and English difference but thats so helpful! I also never thought about non English speakers listening to English music but it makes total sense!
@@BenCooperMLM yeah the auto generated one sucks cause it would be like this: [Singing in Korean] or [Music] it's trusfrating btw, hoping for more reactions to our boys, love your reactions too, you nice keep going.
вы совершенно правы, большинство слушателей не понимают английский. поэтому, иногда бывает шок, когда люди найдут перевод и поймут, что любимая песня или ни о чем, или набор сексистских выражений. У BTS лирика - это важная часть и она глубокая и содержательная.
@@nadina4363 I completely agree, the lyrics have become such a big part of how I view a song now that I actually understand even when just listening, without looking at the translation. So of course noe BTS's lyrics are VERY meaningfull for me! They have some of the most poetic lyrics I have heard in a while p.s. I used google translate to read your comment so I hope it was accurate lol
They do have a leader, RM, but he isn’t greater or more important than the rest of the members. Having a leader doesn’t necessarily mean anything in terms of power or skills (especially in kpop groups). It just means that RM has more responsibility than the other members. Like communicating between the group and their company (a.k.a. label) and rallying the group together when they get into fights.
OMG I'm laughing so hard at that 'rallying the group together when they get into fight' when the image of him peeling tiny potatoes popped into my head..
Sometimes I get a little upset that their most popular songs are literally the only ones more poppy in their discography lol but their discography is soooo diverse The true gems are on their b-sides, although they have great singles/title tracks too
Yep, but it makes sense because most people will listen to more poppy songs. It is so true that BTS'S brightest gems reside in the B-sides. Like a hidden treasure waiting to be found by the most daring explorers
Nice! Loved the reaction! Boy With Luv is a call back to an older song of theirs, Boy In Luv. The differences being the focus of their love has changed over the years. Rather than being young school boys (when Boy In Luv came out) wondering how to ask out a crush, they are now men who have love within themselves, for themselves and for ARMY who helped them get where they are now. Their song titles usually have an English name on top of their Korean name, mostly because a direct translation isn't likely to sound catchy. For example, with Boy With Luv the direct translation is 'A Poem for Small Things'. If you decide to do another video on this, I would suggest checking out On Kinetic Manifesto, Mic Drop, or Black Swan. If you're watching a music video from the bighit youtube channel, you can trust the closed captions! I would also recommend checking out some of their live performances! They have done all three of those songs on American talk shows. If you're curious, they will be performing at the Grammys this weekend, so be sure to tune in. Their live performances are... something else to put it lightly lol Great video! I look forward to watching more from you!
@@BenCooperMLM This is their first nomination! They performed last year with Little Nas X because they had a remix with him for Old Town Road (Seoul Town Road), but this year is their first solo performance. You should check out their performance from last year, they did so well, even if it was short. Any time they have a performance on an award show in Korea, they steal the show. We are all looking forward to the Grammys!
Jungkook is the one who started the “DNA” video and he is the “Main Vocalist” and “Center” of BTS. 💜 RM is the one in the white suit in “Boy With Luv” and he is the “Leader” of BTS. 😊💜💜💜
Kpop idols are all trained dancers, some groups and idols are better dancers than others of course, but everyone is a good dancer. Kpop groups usually have leaders, in BTS it is RM, one of the rappers. The leaders in kpop groups don't have to be the most popular member, they just need leadership. They actually have to lead the groups, solve conflicts, etc. The closed captions are the actual translations of the song. You can trust them. BTS as a group only have one English song, Dynamite. All the other songs are either Korean or Japanese. Kpop groups often release songs in different languages, to attract more fans.
@@BenCooperMLM Can you maybe react to SHINee (pronounced as shiny)? They are my fav kpop group. They are a 5-member boygroup that debuted in 2008. SHINee are incredible vocalists and dancers, one of the members, Taemin, is so good at dancing that he has been called one of the best dancers in kpop. Here are my fav songs: Don't Call Me-SHINee (their latest song) Replay-SHINEE (debut song, youngest member was 14yo and the oldest was 18yo at the time) I Want You-SHINee Excuse Me Miss-SHINee (live performance, 2015, icredible live vocals) Sherlock-SHINEE (live performance, 2015, this performance is just amazing) Our Page-SHINee (this is a very emotional song and I suggest you only react to it if you actually want to get to know them) I said that they have 5 members and they do, but you'll probably notice that someone is missing in their newest songs. One of the members, Jonghyun, lost his battle with depression on the 18th of December 2017. He was an amazing artist and person. SHINee had a really hard time, but decided to keep going as a group. In 2018 they released The Story Of Light, and one of the songs in the album is Our Page, the song that I suggested you only react to if you want to get to know them. The song is about Jonghyun, about how they felt, but also about how they hope he is still listening to them, even when he is not here anymore. SHINee will always be 5HINee.
- KPop mostly (not always) about sing, rap and dance. They dance seriously than boy band from US or Europe. BTS dances is one of the hardest in KPop. - BTS songs has deep meaning. You can trust cc in their official MV, because the Eng sub is from their company. - Chorus in KPop song frequently in English, so fans can sing together with the band. - Some MV has story, the other "just" dance. Please check another song: - Black Swan - Mic Drop - Dynamite. This is the first English song and the most popular one beside DNA and Boy with Love.
In addition to the many great comments so far, I'll add a bit of BTS background to kick you off too. --BTS were underdogs. They clawed their way to where they are now. Their label, Big Hit, was tiny when BTS debuted in 2013, and so they didn't get much respect or recognition within Korean media because of media politics favoring the big labels. But they were innovative from the beginning with grassroots marketing through various online mediums, and that's what forged their strong fanbase. ARMY, especially those around from the beginning, can be fiercely protective because they had to be for so many years. --Aside from social media, they have reality shows where they go on vacations together, a weekly entertainment show called Run BTS where they play games together or do activities and just let loose with shenanigans, several official documentaries from their tours, endless behind the scenes videos called Bangtan Bombs that show things like making music videos, them being silly backstage, etc. All the bonus material (they literally release some kind of content almost daily throughout the year) is why fans get so hyped about how BTS can bring joy to your life. --BTS lyrics are almost always quite deep, even when a song might sound like a bop. Their mission from the beginning was to make music with depth about real life challenges that youth could relate to, including societal expectations, mental health, etc. They don't sing about partying, sex, very rarely swear (except in some of the rappers solo projects) etc., but rather focus on staying humble, relatable, positive, and motivational--even in their diss tracks! --For several years now they've partnered with UNICEF on a campaign called Love Myself to address youth bullying, violence, and self-esteem issues. They have an album trilogy called Love Yourself and a lot of inspiring songs on this topic. They're truly the world's best role models. That's scratching the surface, but it's a start! :-) Tell us what kind of music you like and we'll recommend songs from their super varied discography.
Are the shows they make on real TV in Korea or is it just on youtube? I like all kinds of music! sounds like they do all kinds of music so that works well hahaha
@@BenCooperMLM No, none of their BTS-exclusive shows are aired on Korean TV. In early years they would guest on Korean TV shows (called variety shows), which is common for idol groups to do, but after some bad experiences (like I said, Korean media favoritism is a whole thing) they started making their own shows instead. All of their media is either on their UA-cam channel called BangtanTV, apps/websites called Vlive and Weverse, or some older stuff they no longer promote can only be found on DailyMotion. Vlive is primarily just for their live streams (they interact with fan comments and just hangout and chat at the camera) and their entire catalog of episodes in their ongoing show called Run BTS. Weverse has a few dozen recent Run BTS eps plus all their other limited-run shows (usually 8 episodes each) like Bon Voyage (vacations with BTS), In the Soop (COVID staycation with BTS), etc. Run BTS is free on both platforms, but other Weverse shows are usually paid content. Run BTS is always a hilarious and often chaotic time, so if you want to see their personalities or just laugh your head off, check out classic fav episode 33 from 2017. www.vlive.tv/video/53320
RM aka Namjoon is the leader of the group, but unlike western boy bands, the leader isn't the most popular one but a spokesperson and someone who is incharge of maintaining healthy relationship between the boys and between the boys and the company they are under. Even if RM is leader, all of them are equal. BTS = All 7 of them💜
That makes sense! I remembered reading somewhere there was a leader just wasn't 100% sure how that would work. Sounds like they have a nice balance with it!
Bts is not just a group. They are my friends, my family, my mental doctor, my teachers. they have helped me to fight with my depression and i start to love myself. i have learned to love myself and im happy now. And you know Army is my family too, they are such humble and kindest people in the world. helping others and great community. Im the luckiest person in the world
BTS don't need to ask people to subscribe or check out their music on soundcloud.IFPI announced yesterday that BTS topped IFPI Global artist chart,global album all format chart and global album sales chart for 2020.In the top ten pure album sales they are at 1 with Map of the Soul 7.2 with BE (only released in November 2020 and cost £50) and 8 with Map of the Soul The Journey which is their second purely Japanese album.They are the FIRST ARTIST ever to hold the top two spots,and the last artist who had three albums in the top 10 was Michael Jackson in 2009.And Dynamite was at 10 in the singles charts,their only all English song which was no 1 on the Billboard 100.
Since people already mentioned about subtitles, I won’t repeat it. I do want to mention is that BTS’ music is hip hop based but their songs are diverse. It covers many genres, which basically means there’s songs for what you’re in the mood for. They are at their best during live performances too. They can sing and dance so well live that some people were in denial at first. Can you please react to This is BTS/Introduction to BTS by xceleste? It’ll give you some a general overview of who they are.
BTS is a K-pop(Korean Pop) band made up of seven members, three rappers (RM, Suga, and J-hope), and four vocalists (Jimin, Jin, Jungkook, and V). They all write, compose, and produce for all of their albums, and their most recent music video “Life goes on” was even directed by the youngest member, Jungkook. BTS stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan which translates to Bulletproof Boy Scouts but it also stands for Beyond the Scene. They are also known internationally as The Bangtan Boys. This name is incredibly meaningful because they said that it is their job to shield the youth of the world from the bullets that society rains down on them. They debuted in 2013 under Big Hit Entertainment, which is now Big Hit Labels, in Seoul, South Korea. It was originally supposed to be a Hip-hop group but the CEO of Big Hit, Bang "Hitman Bang" Shihyuk, later decided to debut them as an idol group. Every member has solo work separated from the group. You should definitely check out some of their solo work, it is incredible. They were told that they wouldn't amount to anything and that they were untalented their entire careers. There is no lead singer but there a leader who is in charge of leading the group and being the liaison between the group and the company. Rm or Kim Namjoon is the leader, a rapper, and a producer. Jin or Kim Seok Jin is a vocalist, the head visual, and the oldest. Suga or Min Yoongi is the main rapper and a producer. J-Hope or Jung Hoseok is the dance leader, a rapper, a sub-vocalist, and a producer. Jimin or Park Jimin is a lead dancer (he specializes in contemporary) and a vocalist. V or Kim Taehyung is a vocalist, visual, and dancer. Finally, we have Jungkook or Jeon Jungkook who is the main vocalist, dancer, sub rapper, center, and maknae(the youngest member). All seven members used to live in a single-bedroom apartment together, and even now after the extreme success, they have achieved they still live in a four-bedroom apartment and share rooms, even though most of them own their own apartments. The official roommates if you are curious are Jin and Suga, RM and V, and Jimin and J-Hope. Jungkook technically has his own room but he usually sleeps in one of the other member's beds. They say that it just doesn't feel right not being together and that they feel lonely without each other, Jin even compared the other members to his wallet and phone because going anywhere without them feels unnatural and makes him really nervous. They are all bonded through their hardships and are just a large family which could be partly because they were put together when they were teenagers. The oldest, Jin, being 18 and the youngest, Jungkook, being 13 when they first got together. Jin was 20 at debut and Jungkook was 15. To clarify BTS got together as a band about two years before they officially debuted. The older members literally raised the younger ones, they would take them to school, make them breakfast and dinner, help them with homework, etc. They attended Jungkook’s middle school and high school graduation. Along with Jimin and V’s high school and most of the other boys’ college graduations. In fact, Jimin and V(Taehyung) just graduated college with honors a few days ago. They grew up together and are a family in every way that matters. They almost never talk about the normal recycled romantic love and breakup cycle. Throughout all their songs they preach self-love, self-acceptance, female empowerment, mental health, and they also speak out against social injustices and so much more. They believe that lyrics are one of the most important parts of music and they strive to connect with all of their fans through their music and lyrics even if that means jeopardizing their careers and backlash from people in power. They even have a fictional storyline that goes through their music videos called the Bangtan Universe aka the BU. This storyline is very extensive and includes over 25 MVs over almost six years, two books, a webtoon, a mobile game, multiple short films, and they are even creating a tv drama called 'Youth'. Along with their storyline, every single one of their albums follows the phases of life that the band members are going through at the time. For example, their first album '2 Cool 4 Skool' and it was about school, schoolboy crushes, unfulfilled dreams, the expectations of adults, and social pressure on youth and at the time of this album they were all still in school whether that be middle school, high school, or college, and their most current album, “BE” is about the pandemic and how they are getting through it and giving hope that we will come out the other side of this better than we were before. They are also incredibly prolific. They have 9 studio albums, 3 single albums, 11 compilation albums, and 6 EPs. That includes 4 full Japanese albums, their native tongue is Korean. The total discography including solo works, collabs, and covers is over 300 songs. They just got nominated for their first Grammy for “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance” becoming the first Korean artist to even get nominated in the pop category. In 2019, they become the first-ever K-pop band to be invited to the Grammy’s and the first-ever K-pop band to present at the Grammy’s. They will also become the first-ever Korean artist to perform a solo stage at the Grammy's. They have also dominated the Billboard charts with three number ones in only three months becoming the first Korean artist to ever get a #1 on the charts. Their song "Life Goes On" was the first song in history sung primarily in Korean to ever top the Billboard charts. They also held on to the number one spot for two weeks straight being the first group since the Black-Eyed Peas to do that, while competing with songs like WAP for #1. They even held the number 1 and 2 spot for a while, being the first-ever music act in history to do that. Let's not forget that they have spoken at the UN general assembly twice. Once in 2018 for their LOVE MYSELF Campaign with UNICEF where they talked about the importance of self-love and acceptance and then again in 2020 to give hope to the world during the pandemic. While they are huge, I think it is important to mention that they are also some of the most humble people that you will ever meet. Jin, the oldest member, and a vocalist released a song called Abyss, for his 28th birthday, talking about how he feels there are people who more talented and deserving than him so he doesn’t feel that he deserves all of the praise that he is getting and it was eating him up inside. Dynamite is their only all English single to date but please don't let that deter you. They have touched millions of people with their music and have used their success to help others. They give millions and millions of dollars to various charities and inspire their fans, ARMY, to do the same. For example, they gave $1,000,000 to BLM, and within 24 hours of the announcement, ARMY matched their 1 million dollar donation. We have also built a hospital in a place in need as a birthday present to one of the members, The Jung Hoseok Hope Hospital in Anhui Province, China. We have also created and donated to over 300 different charities in the last two years using an organization called One in An ARMY which is a fan collective of volunteers around the globe that have set up a way for fans to make micro-donations every month and help nonprofits all over the world. They are not only talented but inspirational so please check them out a little more and thank you for giving BTS a chance and reacting with an open mind. P.S. SORRY OF THE NOVEL
So as I read from the comments you already got to know that the leader of the group is RM and interesting fact about him is that he has an IQ148 also he's the only one fluent in english.BTS is performing and nominated at the 2021 GRAMMY awards with they're first all english song Dynamite (you most likely have heard that since it was everywhere samsung commercial,radio literally everywhere)
I liked your reaction! Obviously, there's a lot of things you don't know yet and I think you have some sort of hesitance to listen to music in other languages, but I can see you're genuine. BTS drives me to be a better person and they have moved me with their lyrics and message. (Turn on the captions please! As long as they're not auto-generated, it's fine!) Please keep an open mind when reacting to more of their music. Also the "they don't seem to have a storyline" bit almost made me laugh. Like dude, you don't know what you're in for.
They have a leader, but he doesn't front more or less than the other members, it basically just means he holds the most responsibility. He's like the medium between the label and the band. He also guides the others in many situations and because of the deep trust, the members follow without question. It's a unique dynamic for any westerner to witness, I think. I certainly didn't understand it when I first noticed it, I just thought Namjoon (the leader) was an arrogant ass. Now I understand that him taking all the pressure of making decisions allows the other members more freedom to do their job (which only works that way because the members have the utmost trust in him). I'm honestly so impressed with the leader, he juggles keeping up with the members and all his leader duties so well!! Does he even sleep??
They dance like high school musical? man it's way beyond that~~Their choreography is hard.. especially their "On" choreo, you should check that out!!! My boys Jhope, Jimin, and Jungkook got god-tier techniques in dance. Jhope specializes in hip-hop, popping, house while Jimin does contemporary and popping. They can freestyle as well.
just bc the song name is in english doesn’t mean anything. they primarily sing in korean bc they’re korean. they only have a handful of majority/full english songs out of their discography of 100+ songs
You should definitely turn on the subtitles, for it is official. Their lyrics are deep in meaning, nothing related to romance nor fairy tale like vibe. If you want full English songs from BTS is Dynamite or most recent MTV unplugged "Fix You" cover
Believe me at first it start with "i just want to know their name" and then you will fall to that purple hole and end up watch their mv, run bts ep, bantantv, live performance even their compilation video and fan reaction for hours EVERYDAY and you never out of that purple hole and end up being an army Like i did..
2:11 BTS’s MV have English subtitles. Make sure to turn them on the next time. Kpop incorporates fashion, hairstyles, a lot of choreography dancing and if you watch closely they tell a story. 4:05 The guy that just said DNA, his name is RM he’s their leader. The one guy in the beginning is the youngest member. His name is JK and he’s the main vocalist. 5:37 They are doing the wave dance to the molecule of DNA. 11:53 BTS is singing about being in love with the little things in life. They’re happy and they’re enjoying life with their fans. 14:05 Boy w Luv is part 2 of Boy in Luv. You can check it out. BTS stands for Bulletproof Boys so the gun hand sign is BTS sign. If you watch closely to their introduction, You will see they put their finger hand sign up like a gun and introduce themselves.
just noting that overall when they do collabs the artist they are collaborating with doesn't in most cases have like a huge huge part (unless it's like an another version or not part of their main albums) because they have to be able to also perform the song with only seven of them (BTS), like for example steve aoki did a remix, nicki minaj did a verse in another version, halsey was part of the chorus, but in all night that is not part of the main albums juice wrld is huge part of the song
If you look at these 2 mv's u might think they don't have a story line but in reality all of their mv's, live performances, notebooks, etc. Contribute to their very complex and interesting story line. There r some mv's that r more obviously part of a greater story but others r quite subtle. (English isn't my first language but I hope I explained it well)
well to be honest not all of the music video are connected to the storyline, please don't confuse new fans, all of the music videos are definitely meaningful but not all have something to do with the overall storyline
@@sohnyoungjae7951 it's okay, i was just clarifying, you can use this thing called 'bts roadmap' made by an army, it has a section where all the content that has something to do with bu chronologically listed, oh and in case you didn't know song lyrics are never related to the BU
@@kabazinga I didn't know about the roadmap I'll def check it out. And as far as the lyrics go I knew some didn't take part in the BU but didn't know it was all of them so thanks for explaining, I appreciate it
If something is not in english and you wish to understand, there is something called captions that you can easily turn on if available, and enjoy understanding
He knew about captions, but he said he didn't trust UA-cam's auto-translate feature...and with reason - it stinks. He didn't realize that BTS MVs include translations that can be trusted. It was just a part of the things one learns when finding BTS for the first time. As he gets into reacting to BTS more he will also learn that most lyric videos are rushed jobs that also aren't good sources for translations...and that Doolset Bangtan and maybe a couple of other translators are the best source for translations except for the BTS MVs which are subtitled. I would add for Ben's sake that there are a lot of volunteer ARMY who translate for the benefit of non-Korean speakers into languages all over the world. They translate live streams, song lyrics, Weverse posts, tweets, interviews, behind-the-scenes and dance practice videos, and more. Because of these wonderful people, translations of pretty much anything originally in Korean and said or written for public consumption by a member of BTS can be found if you look hard enough. As you go forward, adding "eng sub" to a search phrase can be helpful.
Every Kpop group has a leader, but the leader is more like a team captain than like, main star of the group. In BTS all 7 are like the main stars and can hold their own in solo work, but choose to stay a group and focus on their work as a group. (They’re almost at their 8 year anniversary) The leader is more responsible for speeches, making sure everyone in the team is getting along and doing what needs to be done, and help communicate between the band and the label. It’s more of an official role than being the front man of a traditional band
The UA-cam CC actually are accurate as they are not derived from the auto-translate function. :) And yes, I would recommend Fake Love, ON, and Blood, Sweat, and Tears (for a storyline). Thank you!
SO! Some context for these songs if you are interested :D DNA is the first title song for their Love Yourself trilogy. DNA (part 1) is all about falling in love, thinking that you are ment to be with that person, that's what the universe want, it's written in your DNA. Then, it goes into Fake Love (part 2), where you discover that you are not yourself with that person, you are wearing a mask. Finally, IDOL (pat 3) is were you decide to love yourself first, before anyone else. Each part (album) also has a solo song by one of the vocalist. Serendipity (part 1), Singularity (part 2) and Epiphany (part 3). There is also Euphoria which is a song about all those themes. Boy with love is a love song to ARMYs. It's a flip on their earliest song Boy in luv. It is in their Carl Jung Map of the soul inspired series of songs and it is about the persona, the you you present to the world. The music video is actually inspired by a movie (that' why there is a movie theater) : Singing in the rain. I know you spotted the lamp posts :) I hope it helps you graps the concepts better! Those are their more pop sound songs but it's still more complex then they appear to be.
Loved the video! Btw DNA was the first song I ever heard from BTS as well. I was just like you 3 years ago and have no idea just how amazing these guys are! You get to learn just how much work is put into their craft. I'm a bit late but I hope you will come to enjoy more of what they bring to the table. Once you get into them it's very hard to stop digging for more 😊💜
English captions on UA-cam need to be differentiated as follows: 1. (English (auto-generated)) = NOT acurate and false because google is just generating random subs by listening to word 2. (English) = Accurate because the channel that uploaded the video also added the subtitles which means someone typed them out and translated everything so that is the difference :) hope this helps
She had smaller parts in this music video because on tour and in their live performances all around the world. Halsey can't be with them for those performances. You can watch the boy with love live performance with Halsey on the 2019 billboard Music Awards .
I recommend watching old videos of bts to see the difference throughout the years Like no more dream, dope, young forever, save me, or fire! The best dance for me is ON, the live performances are crazy!!!
BTS backstory is very inspirational if you get to know everything they've been through. BTS started formation in 2010 with its leader RM and the final member Jimin joined in 2012. BTS officially debuted as a group in June 2013. There are 7 members (3 rappers and 4 vocalists). Jin age 28 vocalist, Suga age 28 rapper, J-Hope age 27 rapper, RM age 26 rapper and leader, Jimin age 25 vocalist, V age 25 vocalist, and Jungkook age 23 vocalist. If you really want to know BTS story watch the Most Beautiful Life Goes On A story of BTS by the channel the asian theory. The video is kind of long but ARMY will watch anything no matter how long. But it tells you how BTS came together and how they got to where they are today. They are nominated for a grammy and will perform their first solo stage for the grammys this sunday. I really hope they win. BTS have only 1 song completely in english which is Dynamite. It was their first number 1 on the billboard hot 100 and it broke the record of the most viewed video on youtube in 24 hours with 101.1 million views. Also they recently were on MTV unplugged and performed Fix You by Coldplay which is obviously all english and their cover of it was beautiful. Also keep in mind only RM speaks english fluently in the group and he learned english by watching the show Friends. Even if you don't like BTS music they are still amazing human beings. They are so humble, kind, funny, smart, and charitable. Hope you will react to more BTS in the future. And don't be afraid to ask questions. All BTS fans want is for reactors to be open minded and respectful because so many aren't, so thank you for being both.
Boy With luv also has a lot of Singing in the Rain references. Their songs and videos are meaty and not the usual fluff we are used to even if sometimes the happy colors and sets may make you think they aren't deep.
DNA came out before Biebers Yucky song, I mean Yummy, so what are you going on about? Furthermore, turn on the dang CC's (all BTS official MV's have them) for English subtitles, yeah I said it!
BTS has English translations on all their MV's. Just turn on the closed captions on UA-cam. The Korean title of this song is literally translated as "A Poem for Small Things", and the lyrics are about wanting to know everything about the person you love, all the little things that make them who they are. The English title, Boy with Love, comes from the refrain in the song, and is also a call back to one of BTS' oldest songs, Boy in Love.
Uh... there have been a lot of male groups (considered boy bands) that had major choreography. ???? Although BTS have now reset that bar extremely high lol
boy with luv is about how the boys of bts have finally learned how to love themselves so that they can now understand the love of others it is also the squeal song to bts's song boy in luv
All their music videos are connected to one big storyline actually. For boy with luv, it looks all bright and happy outside the theater but in Black swan, the interior of the theater looked dark and lonely, and the lyrics said "No ones told me how lonely it is up here." Fame brings money but it also takes many things away from you. If you watch more videos, you'll notice that they are all connected somehow
Yes you can actually use the subs on their music videos. RM is the appointed leader for BTS. Kpop groups always have someone in the group that the company appoints as the leader of the group. They have a wide range of different style songs. Some I recommend are “Fake Love”/“War of Hormone” (which is an oldie but a goodie in my opinion)/“Not Today”/“Magic Shop” live with Eng sub please💜💜💜Welcome to BTS Army
Bts does have a leader and they actually have spots for each.Namjoon is the leader,Jungkook,Jimin,Jin and V are part of the vocal line.And Suga,Namjoon and Jhope are the rap line.Their tittle tracks honestly doesn’t represent how good their music can be I recommend listening to their b-sides and looking for their lyrics.By the MVs their music might seem like it doesn’t have a deep meaning but most of their songs are actually lyric wise very very good and they use word play a lot
You're wrong. You won't get hate in the comments if u don't like it. You'll just get more recommendations according to the taste you showed. (Because BTS does literally everything) And even the people bothering you will get yelled at by other mature ARMYs lol. But only if you say it polietly like "hey its just not my type of music" or smth along those lines. But if u say smth like "they look gay" or "they're trash" or something rude.... Well, you better run. F a s t. No one can save you from pissed off ARMYs lol. Basically, just don't be disrespectful and you'll get love and support of the most powerful fandom in the world. Borahae 💜.
@@BenCooperMLM Aww.. you're so sweet. Thanks for the heart. And, for your next reactions, to make things easier for u, here's an overview of a few songs. you could try one of these: - *ON* = (unbelievable dance moves+marching band+hype) - *FAKE LOVE* =(high quality production+vocals+touching lyrics) - *MIC DROP* =(hiphop+cool vibes+bop) - *BLACK SWAN* =(elegant+deep meaning+classy+chill) - *SPRING DAY* = (ballad+rap+aesthetic+beautiful) - *BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS* = (unintentionally deliberate symbolism+confusing reactors since forever+you're not ready yet+give up+choose something else) Bon voyage~
thanks for checking the boys out! usually there are so english lines in their songs, so i generally recommend watching with english captions on, i hope you’ll react to fake love, ON, The Truth Untold and Spring Day too!
Lol, you just happened to choose 2 of their more poppy and colorful MVs. I suggest ON Kinetic Manifesto and Black Swan next. As you look at more of their stuff, you'll realize they're very versatile. There is a complex storyline that runs through a bunch of their MVs. And often in order to fully understand the meaning of the song, it has to be taken in context with the rest of the album or album series. Can't wait to see more reactions
The story line about background and the MV... If you see woth slow motion then you can see the film of the theater is "Singing In The Rain"... The classic musical film...
The scene with RM in the white hat in front of the theatre comes straight from Gene Kelly's scene in the movie. Also jumping on the couch is Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds, Gene Kellydirectly from the movie.
You can check out about BTS explained...Someone made that video to help us to understand the storyline about their songs. But in the end, it depends to ourselves how we interpret their songs. Each of their song and MV has vert deep meaning. And I'm very grateful to whoever made that "explanation"
I found it so funny how you said that the DNA dance is sort of like High school musical🤣, I would be going ooff of my head if this was a person who hates them or who has like watched them more than 3 times, however, we're all good. If you want to check some songs with AMAZING choreography, I suggest watching ON, Black Swan, Mic Drop (dance practice), Fire, Not today, Intro performance trailer and concept trailer. If you feel like you want to listen to songs that have beautiful meaning, I suggest, "Butterfly", "2!3!", "Magic shop", "Mikrokosmos" and "Love myself". Definitely put on subtitles that way you can see the lyrics to the songs. If you want an introduction to them watch, "Who is BTS" and "From nobodies to Legends", they are both very helpful videos. Hopefully you see this, and take this in.
So you haven't heard of "Waste it On Me" by Steve Aoki feat. BTS? Well I'm not surprised that a lot of ARMYs don't know about it. It's all in English, although only RM and JK are there the credits still says BTS. It's such a bop. There's a music video for it but BTS is not there.
almost every BTS music video will have english subtitles straight from the company themselves. they're the actual english lyrics as the band members intend them to be. so you typically don't have to worry about subs. as long as it doesn't say "auto-generated" you're good to go :))
The novelty of this reaction by hundreds of others, is that it was the first time that I saw them being compared to High School Music (not that I watched it), but I found it interesting. And, of course, it is always interesting how people in the United States are fascinated by the existence of a language other than English, mainly related to music, even though literally the whole world listens to music in English, and the vast majority do not speak English. and doesn’t understand the lyrics at all.
I love them and language rewally isn't a problem. I see their MV once with caption and next time I listen to the song I already know the lyrics. I love the music and the dancing and the effort put into their videos.
As first reaction it was nice one👍I known that many had gave you recommendations in comment but personally if anyone ask me who is bts ? What l can try listen about Them l will not be able to answer especially if I don't know the music tastes of that person since bts in term of genre Theirs are Very divers :hip hop.. Pop..ballads ..RnB...Rap..acoustic... EDM.. so her is some advise to you : 1-for me you can't judge or know Bts by just listen 3 or 4 songs esp not just by most popular ones .or some MVS depending on UA-cam views No..,I would say IF you want to discover Bts seriously listen to 2 o 3 albums>like whole bts album with each title tracks( not just MVs )by order .l think it would be good experience in term of music productions vocals/rap but also in term lyrism Thiers albums are composed from several parts with mix of ;group ,sub units, solo members songs. All connected with each others with important concepts it's like a well-written novel having introduction, development, twists, and conclusion it shared a compelling story. With meaningful deep relatable messages Here is site were you can get some informations about bts Discography since 2013 :bts.fandom.com/wiki/Discography You also need to watch theirs live performances 💖 2-for language in theirs official MVS it fine you can turn eng cc but for other songs. Don't just look at .any lyrics videos or some website like genius lyrics .No .Cause there is sometimes wrong translation .that don't convey meaning when it come to Korean languages > do use :doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com when it come to bts lyrics for theirs group as well ad Thiers solo work > it best reference most accurate translations( there some explanation and info notes about Korean words play metaphors nd messages of songs) 3-there Are 7 talented passionate hardworking artists debuted in 2013 : 3 rappers producers , songwriters so there involved in making their music but also for other artists >they had theirs solos mixtapes + 4 vocalists( they also participate in co-producing writing. .sometimes editing..) >two of them had upcoming solo album +their are amazing dancers. ...as persons Thiers are so humble 4-their are loved by millions for many raisons but one of the main one it's cause They want their music to inspire change motivate people and spread positivity.,challenge societal stereotypes, they also tackle a lot of issues taboo that relate to anyone such as mental health, suicide, depression, addiction, parent abuse , anxiety, differences between the old and new young generation, corrupt , academic system nd teaching people about self love and self respect , self care. Social problems..that's why there fanbase is huge from different races ages genders ,Bts even their name have meaning "Bangtan "means to be resistant to bullets, so it means to block out stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations that aim on youth like bullets, to preserve the values and ideal of today’s generation. ,.. 5- you can watch some video intros about them :this is bts introduction part 1, kpop vs bts,Most beautiful life goes: story of bts ... You said in beginning it will be high quality videos cause of course they had a lots of money ...yes you right since Thiers are now one of the big artist in world but. .let me tell you 10 years ago when they debuted all of them(7) used to sleep in one bedroom to live in dorm like studio... Big hit Thiers label in past was considerate very small entrainment company. Close to bankruptcy ... nothing in front of what's called " big3" in Korea the three big labels.(Sm,Yg,Jyp) That rule have power in whole music entrainment industry since 90'> all artist.Kpop artists that were from those companies have 80% chance to be successful.while the ones from other labels have only 20% chance .>so bts background. ..rise . in the industry locally in Korea or internationally was really really differents Inspirational journey
to know more about them react to black swan, mic drop, ON ,spring day(queen of bts songs and see its explanation). as you go through their songs they are way more versatile then you might have imagined. they also do their solo mixtapes . and pls on the captions ,you will know the power of their lyrics . RM,SUGA ,j hope the band members write , produce almost their every song
Ahhhh I so wish you had just turned the captions on haha! I think usually with their music videos the captions are pretty accurate - I defo recommend rewatching with the lyrics, or just looking them up on Genius cause it defo gives you an extra insight into the songs ... But glad you were able to enjoy them without knowing the meanings of the lyrics - that's the joy of BTS! Their music transcends language.
Boy With Luv is a fan song. BTS are known for being genuine and actually appreciating their fans because they literally started from the bottom. BTS know they literally wouldn’t be where they are today without their fans’ support. For example, they always thank their fans (ARMY) first whenever they receive an award. And so this song is about the love they have for ARMY 😁💜
In able to understand what they're singing, you have to turn the substitle on. All their music video had a story and meaning on each. And ARMY in different country volunteered translating each music video on their language and so in English.
I was about to comment to answer some questions but then I read the other comments and... yeah ARMY provides you well... Yeah. So BTS is well known for the choreography, those moves, yeah it's choreographed :) - And no, they're not anything like OneD. - And yeah those MVs (music videos) have subtitles, you CAN trust the subs - Yeah DNA is that term... - Nope, Boy With Love is still kpop - Although I'd rather say BTS Pop than kpop because, you know, they're beyond kpop Anyway...
RM is the leader.He’s the one in white on the stage at the end in “boy with luv”;) The one at the beginning of “DNA” is Jungkook. He’s the youngest and the vocal leader.
i'd be really interested in seeing you react to the music videos but like, with the full knowledge of the lyrics. i'm sure ppl have already mentioned bts mvs have full professional captioning - honestly it feels a little like there's a layer of understanding that can't be penetrated because of that. also, their chain link is a double helix thing, bc it's DNA! i think it's easier to tell in the live performances. i started listening to BTS in august, so i'm relatively new as a fan. i'm actually here from the BTS grammy reaction video - i know you watched it bc you were recommended the lives. i'd recommend watching the comebacks for more choreography/live vocals commentary (although the comebacks definitely aren't subbed) - that's how i started getting really into the music, especially bc you can hear their vocals really well in the lives
So, when I first got into BTS, I really didn't care for DNA...the lyrics are beautiful, though, and the song has weirdly grown on me. Boy With Luv is still not my favorite...on that album, it is the only one I sometimes skip. I prefer their darker, deeper stuff and their ballads. Unfortunately some of their best songs aren't their title tracks and don't have music videos, so a lot of reactors never hear them. Of the title tracks that do have MV's, though, I echo those who suggested On, Black Swan, and Fake Love. Fake Love in particular is one of my favorites. Just.....please put captions on, lol. Their lyrics are pure poetry.
BTS has a pretty diverse discography so there will be lots more you should see. Also personally I started following BTS not just for the music but for the lyrics and meaning and message in most of their songs...you should definitely watch with subtitles on unless they say auto-generated they were added by the creator of the video Also there are stories in most BTS videos and lots of hidden meanings if you know where to look...the thing with the BTS stories is there are layers...the lyrics of the songs through an album set (usually 3 albums in a set) will tell a story through the album. Then there is also a fictional movie like story that goes through many of the Music videos visually but also relys on a lot of symbolism and themes...it includes notes and webtoons etc and can be intense. What I find most interesting in watching people newly react to BTS is that they end up listening to BTS's most pop like songs rather than their much more Hiphop based songs. You should certainly listen to some more songs and try to find more of a mix to see the range on genres they use.
Just to clarify, you can expect that most of the songs are in Korean, with different English words/ sentences. Subtitles can help you understand the meaning of the songs, the cc are accurate and almost 100% right. The only song full in English is BTS’ single from their latest album, “dynamite” it was billboard number 1 and broke so many records! I’m sure you’ll love it!!🥰 also watch “mic drop” its more the hip hop side of bts, were there is a lot of rap, maybe also interesting to look at!🥰
okay so.. RM is their leader (e can speak English) I'm pretty sure the others armys told you about their storyline and it really is interesting because it deals with sensitive issues such as mental health, social issues, and more. The group also likes to experiment with music so their songs can vary in different genres. and Boy with luv is a like a love letter to their fans. Thank you for reacting to BTS i hope you enjoy more of their amazing music and their clownery!
Have you turned the Captions on??? Big Hit Video's all have English Captions of the lyrics. FYI - in the choreography, when the members link hands to create huge arm waves, it is to represent the ubiquitous spiraling of DNA strands.
if you want an mv with storylines, i recommend i need u (not the pg version) and run, theyre good songs with good music videos ! also, the subtitles are trustworthy for their music videos as well as other kpop mvs if you want to try maybe a different genre from pop, try spring day which also has a very interesting storyline in the mv with good visuals and a good song (with deep meaning) or you can do life goes on (most recent mv) which is the main song of their album which the produced completely by themselves!! finally for something more dance, i recommend mic drop!! it’s up beat and nice, and honestly super cool also please watch their live performances along with the mvs!
Closed Captions from Bighit (Hybe), BANGTANTV (Official channels from the company and group are added by them so is correct) 1theK (원더케이) channel is also good. When is captions from youtube it appears written auto-generate captions (this are the ones that aren't correct)
Popular music usually doesn't represent artist very well. If you are really interested in BTS music I recommend you Black swan, Mic drop, UGH, Fake love, On
That’s great suggestions! When I was looking at ones to watch these were recommended but I totally get that it wouldn’t represent well. Will check those others out for sure!
Their title tracks are great, but I think you have to dive into their b sides to understand why people are so passionate about BTS.
@@beluuzzz no one said it is not part of BTS, but you can not deny that Dynamite or DNA does not represent what artists they are
@@nikitta1555 yes but they are completely correct in that you can't understand the depth of bts and why armys truly appreciate them the amount they do by just looking at the most popular songs, the most of the rest of the discography is actually what represents bts, the power of their songwriting and composition. i'd even argue their b-sides represent them more than title tracks.
And save me!!!
ask yourself why music in a foreign language throw you off. we - people from not english speaking countries, are listening to your "english" music all the time and have no problem if we don't understand it, because music has no boundaries, if you love it then you love it. and if we want to understand it we just use subtitles and translations. it's that easy. but a lot of you native english speakers think you are superior for some strange reason. you don't need to emphasize that they are foreigners it's not a critique, just enjoy or don't enjoy their music/videos/performances
Yes! I hate how they ALWAYS say that comment “it’s not in English so I don’t understand” like ffs just enjoy🙄
So true
@@nonamegee326 And they ALWAYS compare them with a western artist,as if it isn't possible to enjoy artists from a non western country without finding a western box to put them in.I'm British but still get seriously annoyed.
This is a good point! This was my first experience with music not in English- that's really the only reason I was mentioning it. I never thought of non English speaking people listening to English speaking music before, but it seems that there is a lot to learn! :D
Well said
English is not my first language, i used to listen to english, mandarin, cantonese, japanese, korean songs, ya so i dont have that ‘not my languages or i donno what the songs are saying ‘problems, becoz good music have no boundary, all translations on the internet you can easily check what the lyrics mean.. thats not a problem tho
About the storyline thing, no body has storylines as amazing as BTS. They are following a storyline since the very beginning. You can't understand the storyline through one music video. To understand it you need to not only watch each of their MVs carefully, but also focus on every single detail, the name of the album, the name of each of the song, the chronology, everything. BTS is a black hole. You can't come out once you step in.
oh boy i better buckle up then
@@BenCooperMLM do not go into storyline until you recognize them clearly, this will only create more confusion. as the storyline itself is very confusing. so first you can react to black swan and then " who is BTS' their introduction and documentries to know them. beside that welcome to BTS WORLD. ARMY welcome you.
@@_Petrichor_ I totally agree ! I guess it was easier if you watched them from the beginning and had all those MVs step by step cause at this point it’s too much 😂 I think trying to understand the MVS storyline makes sense when you know their songs a more.
The Title should have been: "Musician discovers that there's music in other languages and that you can actually enjoy it." 😛
Exactlyy😜🤣
Yeah like bri do some reserch befor you watch the vidio
I think some Americans just forget from time to time that the rest of the world exists 😅😅.
If you are born in a country where English is not the native language you have literally grown up your entire life listening to music "in a different language", many times without being able to understand the lyrics. In Europe it's actually quite normal to hear on the radio music in Spanish, French, Italian...it doesn't matter in which country you live.
And English is actually only spoken in a handful of countries as a mother tongue.
So it doesn't cease to amaze me how some English speakers (mostly Americans) seem to have never been exposed to any music in any other language than English 😂, and they react to it like it's some kind of super weird thing to listen to a song without understanding the lyrics 🤣🤣🤣
Lol Facts 😀😀😀😀
the moment he said "tHeRe's NoT rEaLly a StoRy liNe goIng ON iN tHiS viDeO" ..........Armys can relate to how I'm feeling.
Oh yeah😩
me like oh u have no idea 😭😭
All ARMY - Kekekekekekekeke.....
sis-...yeah😭
if he only knew how much armys head blew everytime they come up for a music video,rethinking about the past videos to connect,the symbols,the colors lol they are all connected if not it has deep meaning...hehe comeback season is here our heads will hurt again...
The deeper you dig into their discography, the more versatile they get.
They really cover a wide range of genres. Their popular music is definitely absolute bops but do check out other songs like black swan, spring day, Outro: tear, paradise, life goes on, and many more.
I had no clue that they did so much and were so diverse but I love it! All the comments have been so helpful
@@BenCooperMLM I had no idea they were so versatile when I started going into them too. I saw these first songs but while they were good they weren’t my type of songs but in introduction to BTS videos they have a lot of songs that are “smaller” and I fell in love with those
So a few things...
First: With BTS, the true magic is in their B sides. Album title tracks (like both songs you just listened to) are meant to have the broadest appeal so their sound is going to be a bit more traditionally "poppy". If you want to understand how BTS are as artists, check out some b sides (lots of people have already recommended some good ones).
Second: BTS is like a trifle (or your layered dessert of choice). There's a surface layer that can be take at face value (ie: Boy With Love = a song about love). Then, if you go a little deeper and read the lyrics you might see that it's not just about loving someone because of superficial reasons, but really wanting to understand someone and to appreciate all the small things that others might take for granted. Then if you go a bit deeper and make the Boy In Luv connection you'll see that it also shows growth from young boys with crushes to having a true adult relationship. And then if you go just a bit deeper...you're ARMY (lol) you know this song is for us and how BTS and ARMY are connected through the small experiences we share. All that is to say, you can be a casual listener of BTS and just appreciate how their songs sound, or you can do a little digging and discover how powerful their lyrics and messages are.
Third: As an aid to any lyrical digging you want to do, I will always suggest Doolset Bangtan (on Twitter, or she has a website). She is a great ARMY translator and she also adds cultural references or translation notes to help bridge the cultural divide. Of course there are a slew of great translators on Twitter, I just always come back to her.
Fourth: Lots of people recommended songs, I'm going to recommend a whole album. Love Yourself: Tear (in my opinion) is one of their best albums from top to bottom (Map of the Soul 7 is a close second for me). Sonically, lyrically, visually... it just has so much going for it, so I will always encourage people to experience that album as a whole.
Thank you for reading my novel, and thanks for your reaction!
couldn't have said any of this better myself!!
Thank you for this comment! It was so helpful! I will definitley check out the Doolset Bangtan person for more info!
UA-cam’s closed captioning is reliable as long as it’s not “auto-generated” (you can check by clicking the little settings in the bottom, right-hand corner and seeing; it should say if it’s generated).
But don’t worry none of BTS’ English subtitles are auto-generated. At least for their mvs :)
I find it quite interesting that every “criticism” that you have for the videos you reacted to, don’t necessarily apply to their other videos. Such as when you said “there doesn’t seem to be a storyline” yet bts have a whole universe story line thing that runs through some of their videos 😂. I don’t mean this in a bad way, I just find it really interesting and cool. I recommend black swan, I need u and ON, I also recommend reacting to some of their live performances. They are well known for being AMAZING performers, such as the MMA 2020 and 2019 performances which went viral because of how extraordinary they were.
Also, there is Korean next to the English title of the music videos which is the translation/equivalent title in Korean, so they have different song names in English. I.e. the Korean name for boy with luv is “A poem for small things”. They just tend to have English names for the songs so that foreign fans can find them easier online and also so we can read them 😅
that's great that they will have stories in others! definitely makes me want to watch more!
I almost like "A poem for small things" more than Boy with Luv hahaha
I would strongly recommend MMA 2019, for two reasons. First, it’s a long ass stage, and us ARMYs love king reactions so if you react to it pls don’t cut it. Also, there’s a member missing (SUGA, the first rapper in BWL) in the 2020 performance due to a surgery for his injured shoulder. 💜💜 loved your reaction
@@BenCooperMLM the storyline has gone on for years and is vast. Also it doesnt just include music videos it include notes, webtoons, clips, and hints.
@@BenCooperMLM "Boy with luv" is a play on one of their earliest songs "Boy in luv". The choreography and ending pose is also a bit of a callback to that earlier song.
@@danaest-louis6094 While I do love MMA 2019 I think he needs to get to know them a little more before reacting to it. Only BTS can get a 37 minute set at an award show. The US would never allow that much time for any music artist.
RM is the leader, the guy rapping in a white suit in Boy With Luv. His role is really to liaise between the members and the company rather than being 'in charge' , but since he is fluent in English he naturally has the most to do when they have foreign interviews. The other members are working hard on their english skills too; bioth because they want to communicate with their fans more, but also to give RM a break!
That is great! GO RM!
aww.. they really are family.. they always help each other out.. love these boys 💜
The fact that a lot people think that the leaders of a group hold some kind of privilege or have more skill than the other members just goes to show how sucky the leaders of American groups must be :/ A good leader isn’t supposed to flaunt their power or superiority, they’re supposed to be more responsible and provide support for their fellow members.
Let you know that RM has got
148 QI.... 👨🎓👨🎓👨🎓
@@SenoraKIMCora IQ* :)
Then he reacts to Mic Drop. "Is this the same group?"
Lmao....I call it Jaw Drop!.
yah 👍
HE will drop his mic. lmao
And then he sees the 'eyeliner era'. Is this the same group?😂
BTS right now are nominated at GRAMMYs for "Best Pop Duo/Group Performance".
BTS is the biggest group in the world with the five number one albums in US, three of which were within a year. They have two RIAA platinum album certifications. They beat Michael Jackson's record and Beatles' record, they won top group awards at Billboard music award, American Music Awards, MTV EMA, People's Choice Awards, awards at VMAs, they performed at Grammy's, they gave speech at UN twice. They are the first act in history to earn the top 2 best selling albums on a year-end IFPI chart (pure sales). And there is just a few of their achievements.
All seven members of BTS are very involved into creative process. Most of the songs are written by their rappers (RM, SUGA, J-Hope). RM is credited as songwriter in 171 songs, SUGA - 124, J-Hope - 112. RM debuted on Billboard Hot 100 Songwriters Chart at #3, Suga - at #9. But vocalists (Jin, Jimin, V, Jungkook) are participating in songwriting and composing as well. The members are also involved into producing.
BTS do a lot of different genres: Hip Hop, R&B, Latin, Pop, EDM, Ballads, Rock, etc. Most of their songs touch serious topics such as mental health and social problems. That's why the age and gender of their fans are very diverse.
Some suggestions for your reactions:
BTS - "Black swan" MV.
BTS - "On. Kinetic Manifesto Film: Come Prima" (they won "best pop" and "best choreography" at VMAs for this song).
BTS - "Mic drop" MV.
Their official MVs have CC in english so you can turn them on to understand what they are saying.
This is great!! Did you know all this from the top of your head??😳😳
@@BenCooperMLM i have this comment saved in my notes for new reactors :)
That’s awesome!! So helpful 😁
@@jessiejameson9991 and i was wondering if you guys really typed such long comments like this.. that would be tiring... but yeah, I agree to your comment hahaha
Wow.. great army..😁
I loved your reaction! I looked through the comments and I saw that basically everyone already told you a lot of stuff I wanted to say, so I’m just gonna tell you this, if when you activate the cc it says just “English” and not “auto-generated English”, then it’s probably okay, and put there by a translator!
Also, just an interesting thing as a non-English speaker, most people that listen to English songs actually don’t understand the words, lots of my friends don’t know what their favorite song means and are just listening to the music. Not to talk about older people that didn’t get to learn a lot of English in school, they don’t even bother to look up the translation. So it might be a bit weird for English speakers to not understand a song without a translation, but it’s perfectly normal for most of the world.
That’s something that I find kind of funny when I watch reactions to non-English music!
Oh dang I had no clue about the auto-generated English and English difference but thats so helpful! I also never thought about non English speakers listening to English music but it makes total sense!
@@BenCooperMLM yeah the auto generated one sucks cause it would be like this: [Singing in Korean] or [Music]
it's trusfrating
btw, hoping for more reactions to our boys, love your reactions too, you nice keep going.
вы совершенно правы, большинство слушателей не понимают английский. поэтому, иногда бывает шок, когда люди найдут перевод и поймут, что любимая песня или ни о чем, или набор сексистских выражений. У BTS лирика - это важная часть и она глубокая и содержательная.
@@nadina4363 I completely agree, the lyrics have become such a big part of how I view a song now that I actually understand even when just listening, without looking at the translation. So of course noe BTS's lyrics are VERY meaningfull for me! They have some of the most poetic lyrics I have heard in a while
p.s. I used google translate to read your comment so I hope it was accurate lol
@@marianna4506 спасибо.
They do have a leader, RM, but he isn’t greater or more important than the rest of the members. Having a leader doesn’t necessarily mean anything in terms of power or skills (especially in kpop groups). It just means that RM has more responsibility than the other members. Like communicating between the group and their company (a.k.a. label) and rallying the group together when they get into fights.
OMG I'm laughing so hard at that 'rallying the group together when they get into fight' when the image of him peeling tiny potatoes popped into my head..
@@roanneblazer7010😂😂
Sometimes I get a little upset that their most popular songs are literally the only ones more poppy in their discography lol but their discography is soooo diverse
The true gems are on their b-sides, although they have great singles/title tracks too
Yep, but it makes sense because most people will listen to more poppy songs. It is so true that BTS'S brightest gems reside in the B-sides. Like a hidden treasure waiting to be found by the most daring explorers
Nice! Loved the reaction! Boy With Luv is a call back to an older song of theirs, Boy In Luv. The differences being the focus of their love has changed over the years. Rather than being young school boys (when Boy In Luv came out) wondering how to ask out a crush, they are now men who have love within themselves, for themselves and for ARMY who helped them get where they are now. Their song titles usually have an English name on top of their Korean name, mostly because a direct translation isn't likely to sound catchy. For example, with Boy With Luv the direct translation is 'A Poem for Small Things'. If you decide to do another video on this, I would suggest checking out On Kinetic Manifesto, Mic Drop, or Black Swan. If you're watching a music video from the bighit youtube channel, you can trust the closed captions! I would also recommend checking out some of their live performances! They have done all three of those songs on American talk shows. If you're curious, they will be performing at the Grammys this weekend, so be sure to tune in. Their live performances are... something else to put it lightly lol Great video! I look forward to watching more from you!
Oh dang they're playing at the Grammys?? I had no clue!! Will definitely watch!
@@BenCooperMLM This is their first nomination! They performed last year with Little Nas X because they had a remix with him for Old Town Road (Seoul Town Road), but this year is their first solo performance. You should check out their performance from last year, they did so well, even if it was short. Any time they have a performance on an award show in Korea, they steal the show. We are all looking forward to the Grammys!
Jungkook is the one who started the “DNA” video and he is the “Main Vocalist” and “Center” of BTS. 💜 RM is the one in the white suit in “Boy With Luv” and he is the “Leader” of BTS. 😊💜💜💜
Kpop idols are all trained dancers, some groups and idols are better dancers than others of course, but everyone is a good dancer.
Kpop groups usually have leaders, in BTS it is RM, one of the rappers. The leaders in kpop groups don't have to be the most popular member, they just need leadership. They actually have to lead the groups, solve conflicts, etc.
The closed captions are the actual translations of the song. You can trust them.
BTS as a group only have one English song, Dynamite. All the other songs are either Korean or Japanese.
Kpop groups often release songs in different languages, to attract more fans.
I really enjoyed you reaction! I forgot to put that in the first comment, sorry.
Thanks for watching! This is so helpful!
@@BenCooperMLM Can you maybe react to SHINee (pronounced as shiny)? They are my fav kpop group. They are a 5-member boygroup that debuted in 2008. SHINee are incredible vocalists and dancers, one of the members, Taemin, is so good at dancing that he has been called one of the best dancers in kpop.
Here are my fav songs:
Don't Call Me-SHINee (their latest song)
Replay-SHINEE (debut song, youngest member was 14yo and the oldest was 18yo at the time)
I Want You-SHINee
Excuse Me Miss-SHINee (live performance, 2015, icredible live vocals)
Sherlock-SHINEE (live performance, 2015, this performance is just amazing)
Our Page-SHINee (this is a very emotional song and I suggest you only react to it if you actually want to get to know them)
I said that they have 5 members and they do, but you'll probably notice that someone is missing in their newest songs.
One of the members, Jonghyun, lost his battle with depression on the 18th of December 2017. He was an amazing artist and person.
SHINee had a really hard time, but decided to keep going as a group.
In 2018 they released The Story Of Light, and one of the songs in the album is Our Page, the song that I suggested you only react to if you want to get to know them. The song is about Jonghyun, about how they felt, but also about how they hope he is still listening to them, even when he is not here anymore.
SHINee will always be 5HINee.
To don't forget 'Waste It On Me", the other English song, even though it's just RM and JK and Steve Aoki it's still a BTS song
To don't forget 'Waste It On Me", the other English song, even though it's just RM and JK and Steve Aoki it's still a BTS song
My recommendation for your next reaction would be "ON KINETIC MANIFESTO".
- KPop mostly (not always) about sing, rap and dance. They dance seriously than boy band from US or Europe. BTS dances is one of the hardest in KPop.
- BTS songs has deep meaning. You can trust cc in their official MV, because the Eng sub is from their company.
- Chorus in KPop song frequently in English, so fans can sing together with the band.
- Some MV has story, the other "just" dance.
Please check another song:
- Black Swan
- Mic Drop
- Dynamite. This is the first English song and the most popular one beside DNA and Boy with Love.
Oh dang the CC tip is so helpful! Their dancing is great
In addition to the many great comments so far, I'll add a bit of BTS background to kick you off too.
--BTS were underdogs. They clawed their way to where they are now. Their label, Big Hit, was tiny when BTS debuted in 2013, and so they didn't get much respect or recognition within Korean media because of media politics favoring the big labels. But they were innovative from the beginning with grassroots marketing through various online mediums, and that's what forged their strong fanbase. ARMY, especially those around from the beginning, can be fiercely protective because they had to be for so many years.
--Aside from social media, they have reality shows where they go on vacations together, a weekly entertainment show called Run BTS where they play games together or do activities and just let loose with shenanigans, several official documentaries from their tours, endless behind the scenes videos called Bangtan Bombs that show things like making music videos, them being silly backstage, etc. All the bonus material (they literally release some kind of content almost daily throughout the year) is why fans get so hyped about how BTS can bring joy to your life.
--BTS lyrics are almost always quite deep, even when a song might sound like a bop. Their mission from the beginning was to make music with depth about real life challenges that youth could relate to, including societal expectations, mental health, etc. They don't sing about partying, sex, very rarely swear (except in some of the rappers solo projects) etc., but rather focus on staying humble, relatable, positive, and motivational--even in their diss tracks!
--For several years now they've partnered with UNICEF on a campaign called Love Myself to address youth bullying, violence, and self-esteem issues. They have an album trilogy called Love Yourself and a lot of inspiring songs on this topic. They're truly the world's best role models.
That's scratching the surface, but it's a start! :-) Tell us what kind of music you like and we'll recommend songs from their super varied discography.
Are the shows they make on real TV in Korea or is it just on youtube? I like all kinds of music! sounds like they do all kinds of music so that works well hahaha
@@BenCooperMLM No, none of their BTS-exclusive shows are aired on Korean TV. In early years they would guest on Korean TV shows (called variety shows), which is common for idol groups to do, but after some bad experiences (like I said, Korean media favoritism is a whole thing) they started making their own shows instead.
All of their media is either on their UA-cam channel called BangtanTV, apps/websites called Vlive and Weverse, or some older stuff they no longer promote can only be found on DailyMotion. Vlive is primarily just for their live streams (they interact with fan comments and just hangout and chat at the camera) and their entire catalog of episodes in their ongoing show called Run BTS. Weverse has a few dozen recent Run BTS eps plus all their other limited-run shows (usually 8 episodes each) like Bon Voyage (vacations with BTS), In the Soop (COVID staycation with BTS), etc. Run BTS is free on both platforms, but other Weverse shows are usually paid content.
Run BTS is always a hilarious and often chaotic time, so if you want to see their personalities or just laugh your head off, check out classic fav episode 33 from 2017. www.vlive.tv/video/53320
RM aka Namjoon is the leader of the group, but unlike western boy bands, the leader isn't the most popular one but a spokesperson and someone who is incharge of maintaining healthy relationship between the boys and between the boys and the company they are under. Even if RM is leader, all of them are equal. BTS = All 7 of them💜
That makes sense! I remembered reading somewhere there was a leader just wasn't 100% sure how that would work. Sounds like they have a nice balance with it!
Bts is not just a group. They are my friends, my family, my mental doctor, my teachers. they have helped me to fight with my depression and i start to love myself. i have learned to love myself and im happy now. And you know Army is my family too, they are such humble and kindest people in the world. helping others and great community. Im the luckiest person in the world
BTS don't need to ask people to subscribe or check out their music on soundcloud.IFPI announced yesterday that BTS topped IFPI Global artist chart,global album all format chart and global album sales chart for 2020.In the top ten pure album sales they are at 1 with Map of the Soul 7.2 with BE (only released in November 2020 and cost £50) and 8 with Map of the Soul The Journey which is their second purely Japanese album.They are the FIRST ARTIST ever to hold the top two spots,and the last artist who had three albums in the top 10 was Michael Jackson in 2009.And Dynamite was at 10 in the singles charts,their only all English song which was no 1 on the Billboard 100.
Since people already mentioned about subtitles, I won’t repeat it. I do want to mention is that BTS’ music is hip hop based but their songs are diverse. It covers many genres, which basically means there’s songs for what you’re in the mood for. They are at their best during live performances too. They can sing and dance so well live that some people were in denial at first.
Can you please react to This is BTS/Introduction to BTS by xceleste? It’ll give you some a general overview of who they are.
I will definitely put it on my list of things to react to! I think I want to react to their Grammy performance this weekend first!
BTS is a K-pop(Korean Pop) band made up of seven members, three rappers (RM, Suga, and J-hope), and four vocalists (Jimin, Jin, Jungkook, and V). They all write, compose, and produce for all of their albums, and their most recent music video “Life goes on” was even directed by the youngest member, Jungkook. BTS stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan which translates to Bulletproof Boy Scouts but it also stands for Beyond the Scene. They are also known internationally as The Bangtan Boys. This name is incredibly meaningful because they said that it is their job to shield the youth of the world from the bullets that society rains down on them. They debuted in 2013 under Big Hit Entertainment, which is now Big Hit Labels, in Seoul, South Korea. It was originally supposed to be a Hip-hop group but the CEO of Big Hit, Bang "Hitman Bang" Shihyuk, later decided to debut them as an idol group. Every member has solo work separated from the group. You should definitely check out some of their solo work, it is incredible. They were told that they wouldn't amount to anything and that they were untalented their entire careers.
There is no lead singer but there a leader who is in charge of leading the group and being the liaison between the group and the company. Rm or Kim Namjoon is the leader, a rapper, and a producer. Jin or Kim Seok Jin is a vocalist, the head visual, and the oldest. Suga or Min Yoongi is the main rapper and a producer. J-Hope or Jung Hoseok is the dance leader, a rapper, a sub-vocalist, and a producer. Jimin or Park Jimin is a lead dancer (he specializes in contemporary) and a vocalist. V or Kim Taehyung is a vocalist, visual, and dancer. Finally, we have Jungkook or Jeon Jungkook who is the main vocalist, dancer, sub rapper, center, and maknae(the youngest member). All seven members used to live in a single-bedroom apartment together, and even now after the extreme success, they have achieved they still live in a four-bedroom apartment and share rooms, even though most of them own their own apartments. The official roommates if you are curious are Jin and Suga, RM and V, and Jimin and J-Hope. Jungkook technically has his own room but he usually sleeps in one of the other member's beds. They say that it just doesn't feel right not being together and that they feel lonely without each other, Jin even compared the other members to his wallet and phone because going anywhere without them feels unnatural and makes him really nervous. They are all bonded through their hardships and are just a large family which could be partly because they were put together when they were teenagers. The oldest, Jin, being 18 and the youngest, Jungkook, being 13 when they first got together. Jin was 20 at debut and Jungkook was 15. To clarify BTS got together as a band about two years before they officially debuted. The older members literally raised the younger ones, they would take them to school, make them breakfast and dinner, help them with homework, etc. They attended Jungkook’s middle school and high school graduation. Along with Jimin and V’s high school and most of the other boys’ college graduations. In fact, Jimin and V(Taehyung) just graduated college with honors a few days ago. They grew up together and are a family in every way that matters.
They almost never talk about the normal recycled romantic love and breakup cycle. Throughout all their songs they preach self-love, self-acceptance, female empowerment, mental health, and they also speak out against social injustices and so much more. They believe that lyrics are one of the most important parts of music and they strive to connect with all of their fans through their music and lyrics even if that means jeopardizing their careers and backlash from people in power. They even have a fictional storyline that goes through their music videos called the Bangtan Universe aka the BU. This storyline is very extensive and includes over 25 MVs over almost six years, two books, a webtoon, a mobile game, multiple short films, and they are even creating a tv drama called 'Youth'. Along with their storyline, every single one of their albums follows the phases of life that the band members are going through at the time. For example, their first album '2 Cool 4 Skool' and it was about school, schoolboy crushes, unfulfilled dreams, the expectations of adults, and social pressure on youth and at the time of this album they were all still in school whether that be middle school, high school, or college, and their most current album, “BE” is about the pandemic and how they are getting through it and giving hope that we will come out the other side of this better than we were before.
They are also incredibly prolific. They have 9 studio albums, 3 single albums, 11 compilation albums, and 6 EPs. That includes 4 full Japanese albums, their native tongue is Korean. The total discography including solo works, collabs, and covers is over 300 songs.
They just got nominated for their first Grammy for “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance” becoming the first Korean artist to even get nominated in the pop category. In 2019, they become the first-ever K-pop band to be invited to the Grammy’s and the first-ever K-pop band to present at the Grammy’s. They will also become the first-ever Korean artist to perform a solo stage at the Grammy's. They have also dominated the Billboard charts with three number ones in only three months becoming the first Korean artist to ever get a #1 on the charts. Their song "Life Goes On" was the first song in history sung primarily in Korean to ever top the Billboard charts. They also held on to the number one spot for two weeks straight being the first group since the Black-Eyed Peas to do that, while competing with songs like WAP for #1. They even held the number 1 and 2 spot for a while, being the first-ever music act in history to do that. Let's not forget that they have spoken at the UN general assembly twice. Once in 2018 for their LOVE MYSELF Campaign with UNICEF where they talked about the importance of self-love and acceptance and then again in 2020 to give hope to the world during the pandemic.
While they are huge, I think it is important to mention that they are also some of the most humble people that you will ever meet. Jin, the oldest member, and a vocalist released a song called Abyss, for his 28th birthday, talking about how he feels there are people who more talented and deserving than him so he doesn’t feel that he deserves all of the praise that he is getting and it was eating him up inside.
Dynamite is their only all English single to date but please don't let that deter you. They have touched millions of people with their music and have used their success to help others. They give millions and millions of dollars to various charities and inspire their fans, ARMY, to do the same. For example, they gave $1,000,000 to BLM, and within 24 hours of the announcement, ARMY matched their 1 million dollar donation. We have also built a hospital in a place in need as a birthday present to one of the members, The Jung Hoseok Hope Hospital in Anhui Province, China. We have also created and donated to over 300 different charities in the last two years using an organization called One in An ARMY which is a fan collective of volunteers around the globe that have set up a way for fans to make micro-donations every month and help nonprofits all over the world.
They are not only talented but inspirational so please check them out a little more and thank you for giving BTS a chance and reacting with an open mind.
P.S. SORRY OF THE NOVEL
So as I read from the comments you already got to know that the leader of the group is RM and interesting fact about him is that he has an IQ148 also he's the only one fluent in english.BTS is performing and nominated at the 2021 GRAMMY awards with they're first all english song Dynamite (you most likely have heard that since it was everywhere samsung commercial,radio literally everywhere)
I liked your reaction! Obviously, there's a lot of things you don't know yet and I think you have some sort of hesitance to listen to music in other languages, but I can see you're genuine. BTS drives me to be a better person and they have moved me with their lyrics and message. (Turn on the captions please! As long as they're not auto-generated, it's fine!) Please keep an open mind when reacting to more of their music.
Also the "they don't seem to have a storyline" bit almost made me laugh. Like dude, you don't know what you're in for.
You can turn on the closed captions. I recommend Mic Drop, On: Kinetic Manifesto and Black Swan.
They have a leader, but he doesn't front more or less than the other members, it basically just means he holds the most responsibility. He's like the medium between the label and the band. He also guides the others in many situations and because of the deep trust, the members follow without question. It's a unique dynamic for any westerner to witness, I think. I certainly didn't understand it when I first noticed it, I just thought Namjoon (the leader) was an arrogant ass. Now I understand that him taking all the pressure of making decisions allows the other members more freedom to do their job (which only works that way because the members have the utmost trust in him). I'm honestly so impressed with the leader, he juggles keeping up with the members and all his leader duties so well!! Does he even sleep??
They dance like high school musical? man it's way beyond that~~Their choreography is hard.. especially their "On" choreo, you should check that out!!!
My boys Jhope, Jimin, and Jungkook got god-tier techniques in dance.
Jhope specializes in hip-hop, popping, house while Jimin does contemporary and popping. They can freestyle as well.
just bc the song name is in english doesn’t mean anything. they primarily sing in korean bc they’re korean. they only have a handful of majority/full english songs out of their discography of 100+ songs
You should definitely turn on the subtitles, for it is official. Their lyrics are deep in meaning, nothing related to romance nor fairy tale like vibe. If you want full English songs from BTS is Dynamite or most recent MTV unplugged "Fix You" cover
Believe me at first it start with "i just want to know their name" and then you will fall to that purple hole and end up watch their mv, run bts ep, bantantv, live performance even their compilation video and fan reaction for hours EVERYDAY and you never out of that purple hole and end up being an army
Like i did..
2:11 BTS’s MV have English subtitles. Make sure to turn them on the next time. Kpop incorporates fashion, hairstyles, a lot of choreography dancing and if you watch closely they tell a story.
4:05 The guy that just said DNA, his name is RM he’s their leader. The one guy in the beginning is the youngest member. His name is JK and he’s the main vocalist.
5:37 They are doing the wave dance to the molecule of DNA.
11:53 BTS is singing about being in love with the little things in life. They’re happy and they’re enjoying life with their fans.
14:05 Boy w Luv is part 2 of Boy in Luv. You can check it out. BTS stands for Bulletproof Boys so the gun hand sign is BTS sign. If you watch closely to their introduction, You will see they put their finger hand sign up like a gun and introduce themselves.
You are gonna get hooked! Don't worry it happens to the best of us.. Can you do a reaction to their carpool karaoke? 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
just noting that overall when they do collabs the artist they are collaborating with doesn't in most cases have like a huge huge part (unless it's like an another version or not part of their main albums) because they have to be able to also perform the song with only seven of them (BTS), like for example steve aoki did a remix, nicki minaj did a verse in another version, halsey was part of the chorus, but in all night that is not part of the main albums juice wrld is huge part of the song
If you look at these 2 mv's u might think they don't have a story line but in reality all of their mv's, live performances, notebooks, etc. Contribute to their very complex and interesting story line. There r some mv's that r more obviously part of a greater story but others r quite subtle. (English isn't my first language but I hope I explained it well)
well to be honest not all of the music video are connected to the storyline, please don't confuse new fans, all of the music videos are definitely meaningful but not all have something to do with the overall storyline
@@kabazinga oh, I'm sorry I truly thought all the mv's were part of the story line. But tbh I am very new to the BUS so yeah
@@sohnyoungjae7951 it's okay, i was just clarifying, you can use this thing called 'bts roadmap' made by an army, it has a section where all the content that has something to do with bu chronologically listed, oh and in case you didn't know song lyrics are never related to the BU
@@kabazinga I didn't know about the roadmap I'll def check it out. And as far as the lyrics go I knew some didn't take part in the BU but didn't know it was all of them so thanks for explaining, I appreciate it
If something is not in english and you wish to understand, there is something called captions that you can easily turn on if available, and enjoy understanding
He knew about captions, but he said he didn't trust UA-cam's auto-translate feature...and with reason - it stinks. He didn't realize that BTS MVs include translations that can be trusted. It was just a part of the things one learns when finding BTS for the first time. As he gets into reacting to BTS more he will also learn that most lyric videos are rushed jobs that also aren't good sources for translations...and that Doolset Bangtan and maybe a couple of other translators are the best source for translations except for the BTS MVs which are subtitled. I would add for Ben's sake that there are a lot of volunteer ARMY who translate for the benefit of non-Korean speakers into languages all over the world. They translate live streams, song lyrics, Weverse posts, tweets, interviews, behind-the-scenes and dance practice videos, and more. Because of these wonderful people, translations of pretty much anything originally in Korean and said or written for public consumption by a member of BTS can be found if you look hard enough. As you go forward, adding "eng sub" to a search phrase can be helpful.
Every Kpop group has a leader, but the leader is more like a team captain than like, main star of the group. In BTS all 7 are like the main stars and can hold their own in solo work, but choose to stay a group and focus on their work as a group. (They’re almost at their 8 year anniversary) The leader is more responsible for speeches, making sure everyone in the team is getting along and doing what needs to be done, and help communicate between the band and the label. It’s more of an official role than being the front man of a traditional band
The UA-cam CC actually are accurate as they are not derived from the auto-translate function. :) And yes, I would recommend Fake Love, ON, and Blood, Sweat, and Tears (for a storyline). Thank you!
SO! Some context for these songs if you are interested :D DNA is the first title song for their Love Yourself trilogy. DNA (part 1) is all about falling in love, thinking that you are ment to be with that person, that's what the universe want, it's written in your DNA. Then, it goes into Fake Love (part 2), where you discover that you are not yourself with that person, you are wearing a mask. Finally, IDOL (pat 3) is were you decide to love yourself first, before anyone else. Each part (album) also has a solo song by one of the vocalist. Serendipity (part 1), Singularity (part 2) and Epiphany (part 3). There is also Euphoria which is a song about all those themes.
Boy with love is a love song to ARMYs. It's a flip on their earliest song Boy in luv. It is in their Carl Jung Map of the soul inspired series of songs and it is about the persona, the you you present to the world. The music video is actually inspired by a movie (that' why there is a movie theater) : Singing in the rain. I know you spotted the lamp posts :)
I hope it helps you graps the concepts better! Those are their more pop sound songs but it's still more complex then they appear to be.
Loved the video! Btw DNA was the first song I ever heard from BTS as well. I was just like you 3 years ago and have no idea just how amazing these guys are! You get to learn just how much work is put into their craft. I'm a bit late but I hope you will come to enjoy more of what they bring to the table. Once you get into them it's very hard to stop digging for more 😊💜
It was really interesting seeing them the first time through your eyes! Really enjoyed the commentary :)
their song meanings are all the best.. not just the typical boy band!💜 thankyou for reacting..
English captions on UA-cam need to be differentiated as follows:
1. (English (auto-generated)) = NOT acurate and false because google is just generating random subs by listening to word
2. (English) = Accurate because the channel that uploaded the video also added the subtitles which means someone typed them out and translated everything
so that is the difference :) hope this helps
She had smaller parts in this music video because on tour and in their live performances all around the world. Halsey can't be with them for those performances. You can watch the boy with love live performance with Halsey on the 2019 billboard Music Awards .
Thank you for being respectful :) would love to see you react to there more hip hop stuff and see them from a different perspective 💜
I recommend "Black Swan", "ON Kinetic Manifesto" and "Life Goes On" and of course all with captions because the lyrics are great!
I recommend watching old videos of bts to see the difference throughout the years
Like no more dream, dope, young forever, save me, or fire!
The best dance for me is ON, the live performances are crazy!!!
* dance performance they did
they have a story line going on through their whole album. to ubderstand that you need to go through the album. each song forms a part of thier story
About the substitles you can trust them for the MVs :)
Thats so smart of them! I should have known they would put the english in
BTS backstory is very inspirational if you get to know everything they've been through. BTS started formation in 2010 with its leader RM and the final member Jimin joined in 2012. BTS officially debuted as a group in June 2013. There are 7 members (3 rappers and 4 vocalists). Jin age 28 vocalist, Suga age 28 rapper, J-Hope age 27 rapper, RM age 26 rapper and leader, Jimin age 25 vocalist, V age 25 vocalist, and Jungkook age 23 vocalist. If you really want to know BTS story watch the Most Beautiful Life Goes On A story of BTS by the channel the asian theory. The video is kind of long but ARMY will watch anything no matter how long. But it tells you how BTS came together and how they got to where they are today. They are nominated for a grammy and will perform their first solo stage for the grammys this sunday. I really hope they win. BTS have only 1 song completely in english which is Dynamite. It was their first number 1 on the billboard hot 100 and it broke the record of the most viewed video on youtube in 24 hours with 101.1 million views. Also they recently were on MTV unplugged and performed Fix You by Coldplay which is obviously all english and their cover of it was beautiful. Also keep in mind only RM speaks english fluently in the group and he learned english by watching the show Friends. Even if you don't like BTS music they are still amazing human beings. They are so humble, kind, funny, smart, and charitable. Hope you will react to more BTS in the future. And don't be afraid to ask questions. All BTS fans want is for reactors to be open minded and respectful because so many aren't, so thank you for being both.
Boy With luv also has a lot of Singing in the Rain references. Their songs and videos are meaty and not the usual fluff we are used to even if sometimes the happy colors and sets may make you think they aren't deep.
DNA came out before Biebers Yucky song, I mean Yummy, so what are you going on about? Furthermore, turn on the dang CC's (all BTS official MV's have them) for English subtitles, yeah I said it!
BTS has English translations on all their MV's. Just turn on the closed captions on UA-cam.
The Korean title of this song is literally translated as "A Poem for Small Things", and the lyrics are about wanting to know everything about the person you love, all the little things that make them who they are. The English title, Boy with Love, comes from the refrain in the song, and is also a call back to one of BTS' oldest songs, Boy in Love.
Uh... there have been a lot of male groups (considered boy bands) that had major choreography. ???? Although BTS have now reset that bar extremely high lol
boy with luv is about how the boys of bts have finally learned how to love themselves so that they can now understand the love of others it is also the squeal song to bts's song boy in luv
All their music videos are connected to one big storyline actually. For boy with luv, it looks all bright and happy outside the theater but in Black swan, the interior of the theater looked dark and lonely, and the lyrics said "No ones told me how lonely it is up here." Fame brings money but it also takes many things away from you. If you watch more videos, you'll notice that they are all connected somehow
Love to see how you enjoy their music.. Hope you can find more songs you love 💜
Yes you can actually use the subs on their music videos. RM is the appointed leader for BTS. Kpop groups always have someone in the group that the company appoints as the leader of the group. They have a wide range of different style songs. Some I recommend are “Fake Love”/“War of Hormone” (which is an oldie but a goodie in my opinion)/“Not Today”/“Magic Shop” live with Eng sub please💜💜💜Welcome to BTS Army
Bts does have a leader and they actually have spots for each.Namjoon is the leader,Jungkook,Jimin,Jin and V are part of the vocal line.And Suga,Namjoon and Jhope are the rap line.Their tittle tracks honestly doesn’t represent how good their music can be I recommend listening to their b-sides and looking for their lyrics.By the MVs their music might seem like it doesn’t have a deep meaning but most of their songs are actually lyric wise very very good and they use word play a lot
Can you please react to Interlude:shadow or lie? Also nice video 💜💜😌
You're wrong. You won't get hate in the comments if u don't like it. You'll just get more recommendations according to the taste you showed.
(Because BTS does literally everything)
And even the people bothering you will get yelled at by other mature ARMYs lol.
But only if you say it polietly like "hey its just not my type of music" or smth along those lines.
But if u say smth like "they look gay" or "they're trash" or something rude....
Well, you better run. F a s t. No one can save you from pissed off ARMYs lol.
Basically, just don't be disrespectful and you'll get love and support of the most powerful fandom in the world.
Borahae 💜.
I'm definitely excited to check out more of their non pop style music.
@@BenCooperMLM Aww.. you're so sweet. Thanks for the heart.
And, for your next reactions, to make things easier for u, here's an overview of a few songs. you could try one of these:
- *ON* = (unbelievable dance moves+marching band+hype)
- *FAKE LOVE* =(high quality production+vocals+touching lyrics)
- *MIC DROP* =(hiphop+cool vibes+bop)
- *BLACK SWAN* =(elegant+deep meaning+classy+chill)
- *SPRING DAY* = (ballad+rap+aesthetic+beautiful)
- *BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS* = (unintentionally deliberate symbolism+confusing reactors since forever+you're not ready yet+give up+choose something else)
Bon voyage~
@@lonesoul17 Lol! 😂😂 "Blood, sweat & tears confusing reactors since forever". So funny! And great job welcoming and informing Ben.
@@noemibernal4882 Thanks! Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
thanks for checking the boys out! usually there are so english lines in their songs, so i generally recommend watching with english captions on, i hope you’ll react to fake love, ON, The Truth Untold and Spring Day too!
Lol, you just happened to choose 2 of their more poppy and colorful MVs. I suggest ON Kinetic Manifesto and Black Swan next. As you look at more of their stuff, you'll realize they're very versatile. There is a complex storyline that runs through a bunch of their MVs. And often in order to fully understand the meaning of the song, it has to be taken in context with the rest of the album or album series. Can't wait to see more reactions
I still don't know which way Jimin turned at the end of boy with luv lol
The story line about background and the MV... If you see woth slow motion then you can see the film of the theater is "Singing In The Rain"... The classic musical film...
The scene with RM in the white hat in front of the theatre comes straight from Gene Kelly's scene in the movie. Also jumping on the couch is Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds, Gene Kellydirectly from the movie.
You can check out about BTS explained...Someone made that video to help us to understand the storyline about their songs. But in the end, it depends to ourselves how we interpret their songs. Each of their song and MV has vert deep meaning. And I'm very grateful to whoever made that "explanation"
I found it so funny how you said that the DNA dance is sort of like High school musical🤣, I would be going ooff of my head if this was a person who hates them or who has like watched them more than 3 times, however, we're all good. If you want to check some songs with AMAZING choreography, I suggest watching ON, Black Swan, Mic Drop (dance practice), Fire, Not today, Intro performance trailer and concept trailer. If you feel like you want to listen to songs that have beautiful meaning, I suggest, "Butterfly", "2!3!", "Magic shop", "Mikrokosmos" and "Love myself". Definitely put on subtitles that way you can see the lyrics to the songs. If you want an introduction to them watch, "Who is BTS" and "From nobodies to Legends", they are both very helpful videos. Hopefully you see this, and take this in.
Dynamite is their only english song. The titles usually have both korean and english versions. They always mix korean and english in the songs.
So you haven't heard of "Waste it On Me" by Steve Aoki feat. BTS? Well I'm not surprised that a lot of ARMYs don't know about it. It's all in English, although only RM and JK are there the credits still says BTS. It's such a bop. There's a music video for it but BTS is not there.
@@silynita Waste it On Me is a Steve Aoki track featured by BTS, not a BTS track.
almost every BTS music video will have english subtitles straight from the company themselves. they're the actual english lyrics as the band members intend them to be. so you typically don't have to worry about subs. as long as it doesn't say "auto-generated" you're good to go :))
The novelty of this reaction by hundreds of others, is that it was the first time that I saw them being compared to High School Music (not that I watched it), but I found it interesting. And, of course, it is always interesting how people in the United States are fascinated by the existence of a language other than English, mainly related to music, even though literally the whole world listens to music in English, and the vast majority do not speak English. and doesn’t understand the lyrics at all.
Storyline. Oh boy you're in a ride. This is in fact part of Love yourself series, the first stage of loving someone.
I love them and language rewally isn't a problem. I see their MV once with caption and next time I listen to the song I already know the lyrics. I love the music and the dancing and the effort put into their videos.
As first reaction it was nice one👍I known that many had gave you recommendations in comment but personally if anyone ask me who is bts ? What l can try listen about Them l will not be able to answer especially if I don't know the music tastes of that person since bts in term of genre Theirs are Very divers :hip hop.. Pop..ballads ..RnB...Rap..acoustic... EDM.. so her is some advise to you :
1-for me you can't judge or know Bts by just listen 3 or 4 songs esp not just by most popular ones .or some MVS depending on UA-cam views No..,I would say IF you want to discover Bts seriously listen to 2 o 3 albums>like whole bts album with each title tracks( not just MVs )by order .l think it would be good experience in term of music productions vocals/rap but also in term lyrism Thiers albums are composed from several parts with mix of ;group ,sub units, solo members songs. All connected with each others with important concepts it's like a well-written novel having introduction, development, twists, and conclusion it shared a compelling story. With meaningful deep relatable messages Here is site were you can get some informations about bts Discography since 2013 :bts.fandom.com/wiki/Discography
You also need to watch theirs live performances 💖
2-for language in theirs official MVS it fine you can turn eng cc but for other songs. Don't just look at .any lyrics videos or some website like genius lyrics .No .Cause there is sometimes wrong translation .that don't convey meaning when it come to Korean languages > do use :doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com when it come to bts lyrics for theirs group as well ad Thiers solo work > it best reference most accurate translations( there some explanation and info notes about Korean words play metaphors nd messages of songs)
3-there Are 7 talented passionate hardworking artists debuted in 2013 : 3 rappers producers , songwriters so there involved in making their music but also for other artists >they had theirs solos mixtapes + 4 vocalists( they also participate in co-producing writing. .sometimes editing..) >two of them had upcoming solo album +their are amazing dancers. ...as persons Thiers are so humble
4-their are loved by millions for many raisons but one of the main one it's cause They want their music to inspire change motivate people and spread positivity.,challenge societal stereotypes, they also tackle a lot of issues taboo that relate to anyone such as mental health, suicide, depression, addiction, parent abuse , anxiety, differences between the old and new young generation, corrupt , academic system nd teaching people about self love and self respect , self care. Social problems..that's why there fanbase is huge from different races ages genders ,Bts even their name have meaning "Bangtan "means to be resistant to bullets, so it means to block out stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations that aim on youth like bullets, to preserve the values and ideal of today’s generation. ,..
5- you can watch some video intros about them :this is bts introduction part 1, kpop vs bts,Most beautiful life goes: story of bts ... You said in beginning it will be high quality videos cause of course they had a lots of money ...yes you right since Thiers are now one of the big artist in world but. .let me tell you 10 years ago when they debuted all of them(7) used to sleep in one bedroom to live in dorm like studio... Big hit Thiers label in past was considerate very small entrainment company. Close to bankruptcy ... nothing in front of what's called " big3" in Korea the three big labels.(Sm,Yg,Jyp) That rule have power in whole music entrainment industry since 90'> all artist.Kpop artists that were from those companies have 80% chance to be successful.while the ones from other labels have only 20% chance .>so bts background. ..rise . in the industry locally in Korea or internationally was really really differents Inspirational journey
Rm-leader/rapper
Jin-vocalist
Suga- lead rapper
Jhope-rapper/lead dancer
Jimin-lead vocalist/main dancer
Jungkook- main vocalist/dancer
V- vocalist/dancer
to know more about them react to black swan, mic drop, ON ,spring day(queen of bts songs and see its explanation). as you go through their songs they are way more versatile then you might have imagined. they also do their solo mixtapes . and pls on the captions ,you will know the power of their lyrics . RM,SUGA ,j hope the band members write , produce almost their every song
Ahhhh I so wish you had just turned the captions on haha! I think usually with their music videos the captions are pretty accurate - I defo recommend rewatching with the lyrics, or just looking them up on Genius cause it defo gives you an extra insight into the songs ... But glad you were able to enjoy them without knowing the meanings of the lyrics - that's the joy of BTS! Their music transcends language.
The "mess of arms" part of the choreography is a double helix. You know, like DNA?
Boy With Luv is a fan song. BTS are known for being genuine and actually appreciating their fans because they literally started from the bottom. BTS know they literally wouldn’t be where they are today without their fans’ support. For example, they always thank their fans (ARMY) first whenever they receive an award. And so this song is about the love they have for ARMY 😁💜
In able to understand what they're singing, you have to turn the substitle on. All their music video had a story and meaning on each. And ARMY in different country volunteered translating each music video on their language and so in English.
I was about to comment to answer some questions but then I read the other comments and... yeah ARMY provides you well...
Yeah. So BTS is well known for the choreography, those moves, yeah it's choreographed :)
- And no, they're not anything like OneD.
- And yeah those MVs (music videos) have subtitles, you CAN trust the subs
- Yeah DNA is that term...
- Nope, Boy With Love is still kpop
- Although I'd rather say BTS Pop than kpop because, you know, they're beyond kpop
Anyway...
They do have storyline in some of their MVs, its called Bangtan Universe (BU).
Ben: "oh so now they just said DNA"
background vocals: am i a joke to you?
RM is the leader.He’s the one in white on the stage at the end in “boy with luv”;)
The one at the beginning of “DNA” is Jungkook. He’s the youngest and the vocal leader.
i'd be really interested in seeing you react to the music videos but like, with the full knowledge of the lyrics. i'm sure ppl have already mentioned bts mvs have full professional captioning - honestly it feels a little like there's a layer of understanding that can't be penetrated because of that. also, their chain link is a double helix thing, bc it's DNA! i think it's easier to tell in the live performances.
i started listening to BTS in august, so i'm relatively new as a fan. i'm actually here from the BTS grammy reaction video - i know you watched it bc you were recommended the lives. i'd recommend watching the comebacks for more choreography/live vocals commentary (although the comebacks definitely aren't subbed) - that's how i started getting really into the music, especially bc you can hear their vocals really well in the lives
So, when I first got into BTS, I really didn't care for DNA...the lyrics are beautiful, though, and the song has weirdly grown on me. Boy With Luv is still not my favorite...on that album, it is the only one I sometimes skip. I prefer their darker, deeper stuff and their ballads. Unfortunately some of their best songs aren't their title tracks and don't have music videos, so a lot of reactors never hear them. Of the title tracks that do have MV's, though, I echo those who suggested On, Black Swan, and Fake Love. Fake Love in particular is one of my favorites. Just.....please put captions on, lol. Their lyrics are pure poetry.
BTS has a pretty diverse discography so there will be lots more you should see. Also personally I started following BTS not just for the music but for the lyrics and meaning and message in most of their songs...you should definitely watch with subtitles on unless they say auto-generated they were added by the creator of the video Also there are stories in most BTS videos and lots of hidden meanings if you know where to look...the thing with the BTS stories is there are layers...the lyrics of the songs through an album set (usually 3 albums in a set) will tell a story through the album. Then there is also a fictional movie like story that goes through many of the Music videos visually but also relys on a lot of symbolism and themes...it includes notes and webtoons etc and can be intense. What I find most interesting in watching people newly react to BTS is that they end up listening to BTS's most pop like songs rather than their much more Hiphop based songs. You should certainly listen to some more songs and try to find more of a mix to see the range on genres they use.
The Arm movement in the DNA dance when they linked arms is meant to represent a DNA strand.
Just to clarify, you can expect that most of the songs are in Korean, with different English words/ sentences. Subtitles can help you understand the meaning of the songs, the cc are accurate and almost 100% right. The only song full in English is BTS’ single from their latest album, “dynamite” it was billboard number 1 and broke so many records! I’m sure you’ll love it!!🥰 also watch “mic drop” its more the hip hop side of bts, were there is a lot of rap, maybe also interesting to look at!🥰
i- not everything has to do with english bruh-
MIC DROP , DOPE , FAKE LOVE AnD FIRE mv btssssss love it wish you watch it
How about reacting to their song NO MORE DREAMS! Trust me it's so lit ❤️ you could see the changes from their first song to their current one💖
okay so..
RM is their leader (e can speak English)
I'm pretty sure the others armys told you about their storyline and it really is interesting because it deals with sensitive issues such as mental health, social issues, and more.
The group also likes to experiment with music so their songs can vary in different genres.
and Boy with luv is a like a love letter to their fans.
Thank you for reacting to BTS i hope you enjoy more of their amazing music and their clownery!
Have you turned the Captions on??? Big Hit Video's all have English Captions of the lyrics.
FYI - in the choreography, when the members link hands to create huge arm waves, it is to represent the ubiquitous spiraling of DNA strands.
if you want an mv with storylines, i recommend i need u (not the pg version) and run, theyre good songs with good music videos ! also, the subtitles are trustworthy for their music videos as well as other kpop mvs
if you want to try maybe a different genre from pop, try spring day which also has a very interesting storyline in the mv with good visuals and a good song (with deep meaning) or you can do life goes on (most recent mv) which is the main song of their album which the produced completely by themselves!!
finally for something more dance, i recommend mic drop!! it’s up beat and nice, and honestly super cool
also please watch their live performances along with the mvs!
ON Kinetic Manifesto, Fake Love, Mic Drop is really good. Be sure to turn on subtitles.
Closed Captions from Bighit (Hybe), BANGTANTV (Official channels from the company and group are added by them so is correct)
1theK (원더케이) channel is also good.
When is captions from youtube it appears written auto-generate captions (this are the ones that aren't correct)
5:35 they were making a DNA cell. If you look from the above angle you can see it’s DNA
