who would've thought that that line "I wanna big house big cars and big rings" would become such a symbolic line. This same line was mentioned in Home, Interlude shadow and finally it evolved into "I got a big house, big cars and big rings" in What Do You Think
I’m so glad you’re reacting to their older work, since a lot of “baby” ARMY tend to ignore it. There is a misconception within a part of the community that seems to believe BTS were “flops” during their early years, when the truth is that while, yes, they were underdogs, they were also incredibly successful for a group coming from a small company. This is the reason why they were so attacked and suppressed by the media. This here is just a small list of their achievements from their early “underdog” years (2013-2015): World Rookie Award (Gaon Chart Music Awards) -Best New Artist (Male Group) -Rookie of the Year (Golden Disk) - Disc Bonsang (Golden Disk- *won) - Disc Daesang (Golden Disk- *shortlisted) -Best 3 New Artists (Japan Gold Disc) -New Artist of the Year (Japan Gold Disc) -New Artist of the Year (Melon) -Best New Male Artist (Mnet *nominated) -World Performer (Mnet) -Album of the Year (Mnet *shortlisted) -Best Korean Act (MTV Europe *nominated 2014, won 2015) -Best Worldwide Act: Asia (MTV Europe *nominated) -Best New Artist (Seoul Music) -Bonsang Award (Seoul Music) -Rookie of the Year (Soompi) -Rookie Award (V Chart) 2Kool4Skool -No More Deam, #14 on Billboard World Digital Songs. *stays 3 consecutive weeks O!RUL8,2? -Debuted #4, Gaon Weekly Chart -Debuted #11 Gaon Monthly Chart Skool Luv Affair -Boy In Luv, #5 on Billboard World Digital Songs -Just One Day #25 on Billboard World Digital Songs -Album debuted #3 on Gaon Weekly Chart, rose to #1 two months later -Album peaked #3, Billboard World Albums Chart Dark&Wild -Album debuted #2 Gaon Weekly Chart -Peaked #3 on Gaon Monthly Chart -Ranked #3 on World Albums Billboard *stayed 11 non-consecutive weeks -Ranked #27 on Top Heatseekers -Won Album Division, Golden Disc Awards
Yeah. It seems like some new fans aren't even interested in listening to the earlier albums, they have no idea how some of the older songs are great. Some probably watch the older mvs once just to be able to recognize them and that's it.
TamaoChan i think because our fandom is so big, there are a lot of misconceptions flying around. it also hurts that our fanbase is separated by social media, since instagram fans always seem to be out of the loop when it comes to new information and facebook fans are close behind. Twitter can be kind of toxic, but it is the most informed. For example, I haven’t seen a lot of people outside of twitter talk about their new song coming out this friday.
@@TamaoChan and it's so unfair their older songs are literally gold "DARK & WILD" is my favorite BTS album of all times and I start to be an ARMY before "Fake Love" after "DNA" so I'm a little new because I'm not a baby Army but I'm not a veteran. "Look Here" is so an Underrated song and is so good like that song is art and their Japanese songs are Underrated too and the most Underrated japanese song from BTS is "Wishing on a Star" I believe more than the half of the Fandom don't know that song lol. I just hope people look more into their earlier work even if do love with are my heart the knew album my second favorite is "Love Yourself:Tear" and that album have a lot of Underrated song like "Love Made" (my name lol) and "134340(Pluto)"
@@breea3426 I think that that's because that song is going to be out in the Japanese channel and a lot of new fans are coming now and they don't know a lot about that but I can blame them because when it's comes to BTS there a lot of material to dig in and it can be a little difficult but we are for that to lead them and teach them
@@breea3426 yeah, I agree, although I'm not a Twitter fan (it's just too toxic for me, my mental health cant handle it), it is the most updated one. But I think sooner or later everyone ends up knowing about what's going on, I think that some new fans (and that really just some of them) really should give the old albums a try, I dont really think different social media has anything to do with this because it's not something that's happening or being commented rn. It's just like you said in your first comment, some people think they were flops, or everyone talks about how they were more hip hop and think they won't like the older songs, but omfg there's so many great songs.

Released when the majority of the group’s members were teenagers, the song strongly relates to how South Korean youth culture revolves largely around the country’s emphasis on education, which sees most students -- as young as kindergartners -- attending special after school classes with the aim of attending the prestigious SKY universities: Seoul National, Korea, and Yonsei) >SKIT : CIRCLE ROOM TALK(not necessary to check ,it's your choice) >We Are Bulletproof Part 2 music video(with eng subs) + must watch two live m.ua-cam.com/video/m7V5Su5MZk8/v-deo.html -m.ua-cam.com/video/onITndsj29w/v-deo.html (The “Bulletproof” series is a play on BTS’ Korean name, Bangtan Sonyeondan, which translates to Bulletproof Boy Scouts.

"Who will take responsibility [for us] living the lives of puppets?"

Those high notes are from Jimin. Hint: During Color Coded Lyrics Videos, the actually photo/image will be "in color" to alert you who's doing the singing for that part.
Yes unfortunately he chose the wrong video, normally the color coded videos are more clearer, we can easily see who is singing because the photos are also colored not just the translation
BangPD, the CEO of BIGHIT, told them that “they must write their own stories”. RM has the most songs chosen for the albums. He reads a lot of meaningful books on philosophy and psychology and wanted to be a poet.
If you’re planning on delving deeper into this rabbit hole and learn more about the members as people, I recommend learning their legal names (last name, first name). Also, whenever we have to list the members, please know that they will always be listed starting from the leader, then followed by oldest-to-youngest. This is also how the fanchant goes. It’s a sign of respect to the members. RM-Kim Namjoon (nicknames: joon, joonie, nam) Jin-Kim Seokjin (nicknames: jin, jinnie (by fans), seokjinnie (himself) Suga-Min Yoongi (nicknames: too many to count. Just misspell his name and it’s considered a nickname. Sometimes can be spell as Min YoonKi) J-Hope-Jung Hoseok (nicknames: hobi, hobah, sunshine) Jimin-Park Jimin (nicknames: chim-chim, jiminie, jiminah, minie) V-Kim Taehyung (nicknames: Tae, Taetae) Jungkook-Jeon Jungkook (nicknames: JK, Kookie, Gukkie, bunny (by fans)) Also, these are a list of terms you will come across at some point in your journey, so it would be helpful for you to learn them. They helped me a lot at the beginning. Hyung-older brother, used amongst family & friends that are very close. Used by males to refer to males. Younger people must use this when speaking to someone older than them, often as a suffix to their name. For example, JK as the youngest must address all of the other members as hyung Nuna/noona-basically Hyung, but used when males refer to an older female. Oppa-basically hyung, used by females referring to an older male (this term specifically has been often sexualized by international fans who see it as the term “daddy” (yeah, I know). However, it is important to Korean culture and it does NOT mean this. The term sort of took this form because girlfriends will sometimes use it to refer to their boyfriends if he’s older than her. Again, this is a term of respect in Korean culture, and it shouldn’t be used by international fans Unnie-basically hyung, used by females referring to an older female Dongsaeng-younger sibling, gender neutral. Because the age rank in S. Korean favors the oldest, this doesn’t have to be attached to a name. For example, Jin as the oldest does not have to add dongsaeng to the members’ names. He may just call them by their name. He’d use this term, however, when speaking ABOUT them, especially in a formal setting. Sunbae-basically “senior”. Used as a form of respect for someone who has more experience than you in the work place. Hoobae-basically “junior”. For example, in Big Hit, BTS are TXT’s (another group under the label) Sunbae’s and TXT are BTS’ Hoobae’s. These terms are more professional, however, and because BTS and TXT are from the same label and fairly close, they just use hyung and dongsaeng. -sshi (or -ssi)-standard label of politeness to refer to someone. Used in semi-formal situations. You can also think of it as “sir”. They way you’d see it used is attached to a name (Jimin-ssi) -nim-a higher level of politeness. You use it towards you boss, an elder in your family, so on. Often used by BTS when referring to their boss. They also use it when referring to the older members in politeness, attaching it to the word ‘hyung’ (hyungnim) -ah/yah-it’s like calling someone ‘hey’. Not impolite, but only used between close friends/family and only towards someone younger than you/same age as you. You’ll often hear the older members using this to address the younger members (using their legal names) i.e. Jin calling Suga “Yoongi-ah” or RM calling J-Hope “Hobah” (Hobi is one of J-Hope’s nicknames) Friendly and informal. This is only used when you’re speaking TO the person. -ee/ie-only used when speaking ABOUT a person, it implies a sense of familiarity with the person you’re speaking about. Also only used towards someone younger/same age as you. Example, when speaking about Jimin, the members will often call him Jiminie. PD-Producer. You’ll often hear this when the members are talking about Big Hit’s CEO (their boss) Bang Si-hyuk. They’ll call him Bang Si-hyuk PD-nim (since he’s their boss, they must attach -nim to the title). Speaking of Bang Si-hyuk, you’ll also see them call him Hitman Bang, which is sort of his “stage” name. The members do not call him PD-him in this situation, though they only use it when they want to poke fun at him. They have a very close relationship with their boss and mutual respect, so this is always in good fun. Maknae-the youngest in the group. JK is BTS’ maknae. Often referred to as the “Golden Maknae”, a nickname given to him by RM since he’s good at everything. Maknae-Line-you’ll often see this used by ARMY. It usually includes the three youngest in the group - Jimin, V, Jungkook Hyung Line-the four oldest in the group - Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM Dance-line-the four members who are the official dancers of the group - J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook. Sub-unit -often used in attachment to songs, it’s when the members do a particular song with only a set number of members. For example, UGH is a sub-unit song (often just refer to as a rap-line song) but there are also songs with subunits as rapper/vocal/vocal. These sub-units are often separated into 2/2/3 Weverse-a social media app used only by Big Hit and their groups. The members often post pictures and reply to fans here. They use it more often than twitter. Here, you can also find their web series and documentaries. Weverse Shop- a separate app used to purchase merch and albums Vlive-kind of like YT, used by almost every kpop group out there. Here, the members upload live videos. Big Hit has been trying to slowly get out of Vlive and use weverse exclusively, but until then, you can also find some of their web series in this app. Anything from this app will give you a copyright strike on YT, if you want to post, only do so on Patreon Run! BTS-a web series where the members participate in challenges, play games, and act a fool. Most funny video compilations take clips from here. Completely free, I recommend watching on vlive Bon Voyage-a travel vlog where the members are given a destination, set budget, and then left alone. They have to plan the entire trip, they get no help from their managers, only have a camera crew. It’s meant to help them bond, and show fans their personalities. This is paid content, and there are currently four seasons Burn The Stage, Bring The Soul, Break The Silence-documentaries about the behind-the-scenes of their concerts. This is also paint content. Burn the Stage and Bring The Soul were first released as movies, though there is also a mini video series. Break The Silence doesn’t have a movie as of yet, just the mini-video series. Comeback-any time a group comes out with a new album. BTS is currently working on their new album, and though nothing is official, there are rumors that their comeback will be on October. Comeback trailer-a song often released a few weeks before the album official drops Comeback teaser-little clips released periodically before an album to hint at themes within the album Comeback stage-the first performance a group does of a new song once the album has dropped. BTS is the only group who has had a Comeback Stage at the BBMAs and SNL
@@breea3426 lol I know I didn't express myself right I was talking to put Jimin-ssi like one of the nicknames of Jiminie I'm sorry I didn't express myself right
Mr. Bang (Hitman Bang) started BigHit with the vision of having a group that would be inspiring peers for the youth. It's exactly the motto that you heard j-hope talk about in a previous compilation video ("Bangtan means to block out stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations that rain on young people like bullets..."). Yes, BTS was started for this purpose and they came out swinging. In South Korea, the school system is much more rigid than in the U.S., and it's also so much more expected of young people to do well in exams so they can fulfill their parents' dreams of getting into one of the big universities and getting "big house, big cars" that SUGA raps about. So this song and era of their music is very anti-establishment. (Actually a lot of their lyrics throughout their career challenge the status quo.) Thanks for the great reaction!
No lie, when I see their original MV’s I can’t get over how smol and angry they were. They’ve changed so much but they can still cover such a range of genres.

ARMY have been joking that Hitman Bang and the Big Hit team have been planning BTS whole discography and career since 18th century 🤭🤭🤭 All their era and trilogy have great and well defined story be it in terms of the visual, sounds or even the Bangtan Universe storyline. Props to the whole team! 👏👏👏
7:29 - Yeah, it is crazy, but it’s why Army says that BTS doesn’t have a genre. They actually have something for anyone. 10:58 - That’s Jimin providing the adlibs in the background. JK’s background adlib comes in after, at the very end. (11:22) 14:53 - No, it’s not Suga, it really is JK. Fetus JK = rapper JK 💜 19:18 - Yes, these guys have had an actual message in their lyrics from debut. At the time, Kpop had become so manufactured, they were scoffed at for them. The song is about the loss of dreams. Society, school, & parents beat them down until a person fits into an appropriate box.
Been a fan since 2015 and yes the only thing I can say! Yes they have grown physically but they still the same boys from 7 years ago, their personalities, their passion for their job and always working hard to achieve their goals and always wanting to do the best. That's why no one can be another BTS and no one can replace these 7 members. NO ONE
Dance line 4 members »Jhope> robotic ,flowy , freestyle hip hop dance moves. »Jimin>sharp/contemporary dance moves »Jungkook>powerful hardhitting/fast dance moves »Taehyung>Smooth/sexy dance moves +expression standout. Suga is also very good dancer after taehyung. Rm and jin improved so much.they all work so hard. I appreciate all their hard work. Rap line 3 members >Rm rap is sometimes poetic,philosophical, emotional/personal and sometimes aggressive with wordplays. >Suga rap is like fire for haters and sometimes personal and emotional. >Jhope rap is flowy/melodic which gives you positive vibes and sometimes aggressive. His flow is so unique. Rap line is amazing songwriter , producer and rappers unique and best in their own way. Vocal line 4 members >Jungkook »Main vocalist , natural singing voice is breathy ,but he can easily do higher and lower notes , his singing is so versatile.he do 80%of adlibs,background vocals and runs in every album.His vocals are so stable while dancing to hardest choreography.His breath control is out of this world. >Jimin » lead vocalist , natural singing voice is high pitch ,he can easily do highnotes, sometimes his voice is raspy. His voice is higher than Mt Everest lol. >Taehyung»lead vocalist , natural singing voice is deep , but he can do highnotes , his voice is deeper than ocean. >Jin» lead vocalist , natural singing voice is in middle range and can do highnotes , his voice is sweet like honey. From vocal line in producing and composing songs Jungkook and taehyung are very good. In songwriting they all are good Jk , jimin , V , jin and improved so much.
That s Jimin in the background but that s fine:))).You should watch a live performance of this:))You are a baby army, so it s totally ok if you say some things wrong, just enjoy it.
rebecaa, I’m a baby ARMY too (even at almost 51years old). My daughter got me into this when we were supposed to go to the May 14th concert in Orlando. It has been so fun and interesting learning with everyone that is also new to this. It’s also nice being educated by the ARMY that has been around for a while. Thank you.
Oh yeah, and Jungkook rapped early on too. That’s also when they practiced 15+ hours a day. Right off the bat they were so in sync and they always hit hard.
Yes! I’m a baby Army and went and downloaded all their albums and then listened to them in release order! I also downloaded the Japanese versions! Seriously, all their music is amazing and have such deep messages within the lyrics. No wonder they have such a huge Army that live and support them!
Once you get through the School albums and reach the most beautiful moments in life albums there will be a lot of theories about the bangtan universe so make sure to pay attention to the music videos and lyrics. Love your reactions 💜
I recommend just looking at the lyrics on Doolset website. It's much more accurate than a lot of the color-coded lyrics videos and also gives some background explanations as well as song credits.
Even their pre-debut songs were about school system problems, self-belief and bullying. I mean, they were teenagers themselves. It's funny how a 2013 song geared to high school students still hits hard, even for people on their 30s, 40s, whatever age.
10:10 dude please rewind all the times you want that's my favorite part about your reaction that you are actually looking into it I really love it. You nice keep going
Yes!! You nailed it! They have stood out since their debut with intelligent, unique, and meaningful lyrics. You are so smart. You have come so far in a very short time and learned so much. This is why BTS so easily draws us in and makes us ARMY. The diversity of their art and their high standards are completely unlike anything else out there. Love your reactions. Thank you for all of the hard work you put into this.

Hi! I don't know how to tell you how relieved I am that you're reacting to their older songs, a lot of ARMYs on youtube like to recommend their newer stuff, but their early albums are also a literal gold mine. I left a similar comment to your previous video, but I'll leave one here too because I think it's really important for anyone who wants to be able to get to know and appreciate BTS on a deeper level: I know there are a ton of comments asking you to react to MMA 2019, however I hope you'll continue to wait until you listen to more of their songs and react to at least MMA 2018 first, if not their even earlier performances. MMA 2019 was their best awards show performance yet and I think many of us would appreciate seeing you witness BTS's growth first and most importantly, listen to more of their songs, both newer and older. In their latest performance on MMA, they reference so many of their older songs and they also performed some songs you haven't even reacted to yet. I wouldn't normally leave a comment asking a reactor to get to know BTS and their older performances first, but you seem to genuinely want to get to know and appreciate them whereas other reactors are just trying to pump out videos for their audience. I really hope you consider this. I'll leave the set list of songs for both 2018 and 2019 just so you know how much you'd probably be missing out on. ARMYs let me know if I left anything out and I'll add it. MMA 2018: 1. Fake Love 2. Airplane pt. 2 3. Idol MMA 2019: 1. Intro: Persona 2. Boy in Love 3. Boy with Luv 4. Mikrokosmos 5. Dionysus Songs referenced in MMA 2019: 1. No More Dream 2. Danger 3. I Need U 4. Fire 5. Save Me 6. Fake Love 7. N.O

Yes. Since their debut, they sang what’s in their minds. Bang PD asked BTS two things when they form BTS; you should make songs which are from your own thoughts and contribute the positive affect to the world. Surely, they’ve been keeping their jobs since day one till now.
No More dream is Actually Their Debut Song also: *Bang Shi hyuk (who owns/created their Company Bighit & put BTS together), He has always given BTS freedom for BTS to write their own stories into songs to help others, his whole goal was for BTS to someday completely write and produce make an album COMPLETELY on their own, which they are finally doing this year they are currently working on their album completely made by them....pretty much every song BTS has put out has had their name in the credits, after working mooore than 7 years with professionals as a team, they're Finally ready to put all their knowledge and experience from over the years to their very own album with no other names attached to it..that was always Bangs goal and I'm so proud to see all their hardwork prosper, I can't wait to see what BTS will come up with in their creative freedom 💜*
Thats what we call BTS genre... They are not a hip hop... not a pop... not a ballad... not EDM... not a Kpop... etc... Watching their MVs in order is like we watch a movies in series... We can see how they grow up since debut till now... Just like a journey of the life... From teen... youth... and finally become an adult... In conclusion... Artist : BTS Music genre : BTS (themselves) Bang PD said before they debut that they have to make a music that is coming from their own mind and thought and heart. (I forget what the detail speech but the point is like that), thats way their musics feel so different than the others... They already have a mission since the beginning... And they have a clear messages to spread with their lyrics... The messages is so clear even tho I don't read the translation first... and after I read it, it makes me more realize how thoughtful they are... (^_^)
Their first song, and already going against the strict korean study system. In korea parents and the society putt so much pressure in young kids to be a professional with a degree, if you don't have minimum a school diploma, you're less than nothing(well this happen in all the world too) So the youngs grow up with out big dreams, just focus on study wherever career is imposed to them(doctor, lawyer, engineer, etc), in get a house and a car, and that's what society calls "happines". If you see "N.O." the message is more clear. It's really impresive that their first song was that political and not just a catchy song to attract people, I think is thanks to the freedom that they have in their songs. back then they didn't have much control over their styles(they needed to stand up among others haha, so they start with strong concept characters) but you would see through the videos how they started developing their own styles and had more freedom with that too.
Yeah, they always had great lyrics. That's one of the reasons why I love them and their songs, old or new. You know, after you'll react to most of the older MVs, you should watch "we are buletproof: the eternal" again, the animation is based on their old MVs including this one and it's another layer of emotions. :)
You also need to know that some of their past and future songs are linked in terms of what they didn't have in the past, the haters, the bad interviews, being teased on live TV and self hate they sing about all these things and in their future songs they learn to accept that there will always be someone discriminate them and they also learned to accept themselves
This song was inspired by RM past childhood, when he feel empty because he didnt have any dream. What he knows only study n study. But luckily, his father encourage him, if he didnt have any dream, just study hard as he can rn. So when he already know what his dream is, he is already prepare himself early from now n it will help him in the future for whatever he will decide for he want to be. RM very thankful because of that, because his knowledge that he gained from his past study so hard, now is helping him to write a clever lyrics.
BTS's discography is quite diverse in the genres and types of music they cover. They once said that they use whatever suits the message and the feeling the best (not an exact quote). They started off more hip-hop and then branched out to various other genres and styles. They debuted in 2013 but they've been together longer. RM was the first to become part of the group in 2010 and Suga joined not long after. J-Hope and Jin also joined somewhere in 2010, so they've been together for 10 years. Jungkook and V joined in 2011. Jimin was the last to join in 2012, so 8 years is the least amount of time they've been together. It was actually Jimin in the background for this one and Jungkook is a sub-rapper but he doesn't really rap anymore. The lyrics are colour coded to the names, but also the picture of the person who is singing will also be in colour instead of black and white. Be cautious with these colour-coded lyric videos, they're not always accurate in translation or which member is singing when. They've always had meaningful lyrics. Obviously there are the songs that aren't so deep but usually their lyrics have meaning, and usually at least one track per album that deals with a social issue.
7:38 The word you are looking for is "growth". :) That's what happened to them through the last 7 years. Unlike what you suppose though, this was probably the time where they had the least saying in their styles. lol
RM was signed first (2009/2010), Jimin then came as the very last one (2012) and he said himself that his trainee time was really hard and stressful on him, as he had the least amount of time to develop his skills and almost didn’t make it to debut; they even joke about it with J-Hope to this day (them being close to get kicked out of their training program on a few occasions). Watching live stages of their songs is an absolute must so you can see what they are truly capable of. 💜💜💜 You could combine a MV + color coded + live of the same song😊 There is “ We are bullet proof, pt.1” too btw, and you can hear it together with “We are bullet proof, pt.2” as a live performance!!! An absolute gem, because you can hear them all rap in it which is an incredibly rare occasion.
Bang PD wanted them to honestly express how it felt be young in today's South Korea, he wanted to give the young people a voice. They always say their goal was to give hope to young people, to give them a voice. But their songs speak to all ages, all cultures. They inspire me, in my 50s to keep fighting, keep dreaming, keep being the best ME that I can be. To make the changes from within first, then change the world.
They are able to jump genes so effortlessly. Sometimes there is 3 or 4 different genres in one song. I think just ONE reason ARMY is so diverse. There is something for almost everyone's taste.
I love this being their debut song. To me, it still stands out as the song that "defines" Bts the most. They have always been a voice of our generation (and I'm older than them, lol), questioning why we MUST do things a certain way. They encourage us to be true to ourselves and to pursue our dreams - from debut until now. I will always be an Army because of songs and messages like this!
💜They were so young! Their first 3 albums were about schools and adolescent hardships. Baby jungkook rapping and the vocal line getting their hip hop persona on. Big hit actually gave them a lot of support and leeway to sing the songs about Korean strict school system. N.O. should be one of the next videos to watch. They were able to send a message out to the youth to pursue your dreams. As they grew up, the music matured and they stepped back from being a hip hop group and let all the 7 boys talent shine. Army supported them from the beginning. Love your reactions. I know its hard to put into words the feelings you get from BTS lyrics and music, but ARMY understands. We all feel like these boys are a once in a lifetime gift. 💜💜
As you can imagine, and from what I’m sure you may know being part korean and from seeing things in the media, there is an element in the societies in the countries of Asia (not just Korea) whereby a strict school education is needed to be successful in the future. Society tells parents to push their children towards the career path of doctors, law and order, engineers. And for the most part, parents do, and it makes for a lot of unhappy children. BTS recognised then and still recognise now (note; Suga/Agust D/Yoongi faced a lot of hard hard times with his parents over this very thing and it was a contributing factor to his poor mental health) that whilst getting an education is a good thing; it should not be forced down the throats of children, there shouldn’t be a harsh pressure to be the best of the best. It’s what a lot of their earlier discography is about: the, some would say ‘corrupt’, schooling system, young people needing to find their own dreams, and knowing that not having a dream straight away is okay.
You are very correct they studied the hip hop era of the 90s before they started so for about 3 yrs (excluding Jimin - his training was about 6 mo) so they started in the thing they did best but they realized that they were more than a hip hop group because of their potential to dance and sing so well. and no that was Jimin in the background doing the yea yea. But they did some great hip hop videos to begin with. The baby Jungkook can rap fast but sings like a lark so singing was what he does, he is the main vocalist but misses his rapping days sometimes but they don't want him to get to worn out during concerts so they stopped him from rapping. Bang Shi Hyuk the Director/Producer/father of BTS told the boys in the beginning to write songs about how they felt about school, life, and their dreams and then helped them produce songs that reflected their feelings. Most Korean parents (especially Suga's) wanted them to go to school and then university where then they can sit for the civil exam test and become government officials to make big money. But this song is about the dreams that most kids have to work hard to suppress, don't tell parents, because that will make them sad or even mad. Jin and J-Hope at the end of their first concert at Sky Dome in Seoul both said that they could now look at their parents because now their parents would be proud of having sons like them, Suga bowed down to the floor and cried at seeing his parents in the audience.
Yes thats why BTS stand among others and they are the best, they never make some superficial music since debut.... the Big Hit logo said, Music & Artist for Healing... they want to heal our soul.. 💜💜💜
You are correct! Every song in the album is carefully chosen so you don’t skip a song. I literally love every song cuz it’s so diverse and just hits you in different ways. The album series tells a big picture story but each song can stand on its own!
I love them even more when i watched their older MV's.. they really have their greatness since the beginning.. no wonder why they are the top kpop group now.. and why we-Army loves them💜💜💜
@19:18 - Esco, you were RIGHT!! . SINCE THEIR DEBUT, these guys had had meaningful lyrics. They have planned it. They have planned to voice their concerns about many social issues even since the earlier songs of their debut. . One interesting fact: One youtube video reveals the fact that Suga, RM, and Jin once gathered and discussed their concerns as they watched a TV documentary exposing the reality of school violence in Korea. And this discussion happened even before their debut!! Then, they tried to voice these concerns and decided to apply these into their debut songs. . They were not afraid to get into such a controversial topic and had balls to speak their mind, or even to write songs about it. Again, this happened even before their debut!! From a business standpoint, for sure this would have easily jeopardized their first debut and career. . Another example of how they are brave enough to speak up is when they produced a song called SPRING DAY, the Queen of all songs, EVER! Many people have a strong interpretation that this song essentially talks about the Sewol Ferry Tragedy (you may easily find in google about this painful tragedy). Although we never got any confirmation from BTS or Bighit whether this song officially relates to the tragedy or not, my point is that BTS had balls to release the song during the time period that this issue was still politically sensitive and controversial, thus easily risking their career. . So, IMHO, they are not (K)Pop singers. They are social messengers.
I’m so glad ARMY giving you a list and better understanding of our boys and their music 💜💜💜💜💜💜. When we see that someone is really interested, we take the time with our comments. Go ARMY :)
Baby ARMY here too! Just barely 4 months into the rabbit hole. I wish I stan them from the start. when they were still baby BTS. I cried so much when I watched their debut performance. I felt so proud of them, and what they've become now. There are only a few reactors who I feel are genuine with the boys, and you're one of them. Thank you so much! Please keep reacting. Borahae!
I love them. Tommorow is a song that got me through a tough time and made me an army. And so far away from the first agust D had suga as my bias wrecker. WINGS ALBUM was not only a grammy but an oscar worthy album. 19 out of 20 songs on their latest album has writing credits of the members as well as most as coproducers. They are currently working on an album entirely written and produced by the members. These guys are literal GENIUSES.
Hi, is exactly as you say BTS discography is impressive and is not just the size , is the fact that you would never get bored. Also as RM once said " I want to make music that gets better the more you listen to it" and I feel like he has achieved that . I like some songs more than others but all their songs are good. As always you nice,keep going. 😘💜
Yeah.... they literally came out with a serious message and desire to make a difference. I personally believe it's one of the main reasons they've been so persecuted. Anyone who tries to change the paradigm must be stopped, right? It's taken a long time, but the beacons of light are shinning brightly in this darkness. As our captain boldly said, "The World is Gonna Change..."- RM (And, shout out to Wale.)
A strange way of putting this but their debut style as socially critical as it was and which earned them best new artist ultimately was not the spark behind the extended attack BTS would suffer. Rather what ignited things was that SM Entertainment (one of the Big 3 music corporations) had banked a lot the year prior with fairly immediate results on a highly talented concept group called EXO. BTS receiving critical attention even as a small corporation player threatened EXO's ascent to the top. BTS needed to be squashed, whether by anticompetitive practices or EXO fan base trolling and internet rumor mongering. The good thing is the rawness and honesty of BTS's early style did gain them a fan base, ARMY. They were able to just make it, sometimes operating on fumes, because of this base of people who found something new and refreshing in that style. Unfortunately, attacks would continue from SM and certain members of the EXO fan base for years even as BTS evolved into new forms of musical expression. I do want to say EXO itself should not be hated on. They are good artists and people. SM and a select portion of their fan base have earned a measure of disdain, though I hope ARMY is bigger than them and keeps it inside. Hard to do I know as both malefactors are still dishing crap though in much lighter doses.
I never get tired of listening to their older songs. my BTS spotify playlist is in no order whatsoever. I have their whole library. about 200 songs, that doesn't count the mixtapes. One reason I love their music is, since I am an older ARMY, I love that they actually have something to say in the lyrics. I became so disenchanted with American music, then I finally listened to my daughter and discovered BTS and Kpop. I couldnt help but smile when you looked at the camera because of the lyrics. You have such an adventure ahead of you. Love it! Appreciate you!!
Yes, I agree..the thing with BTS is that they manage to work on different genres & do it so well. I grew up listening the 90s music so I naturally drawn to (& prefer) BTS 90s hip hop sounds. But still I find their other genre songs are as powerful & impactful too. I just enjoy them all.
Oh I came early !!! :) I love to see how you have fallen in love with their talent and their art. i love ur videos, because i can see your sincerity, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us, i really enjoy content like this and the appreciation of our 7. By the way your comments are inspiring too. A big hug from Mexico City.
I would say it was pretty gutsy for BTS to be rapping/singing about these things from the get go. I remember seeing this one dude reacting to more recent BTS songs (he was amazed btw, sorry I don’t remember his name) said he listened to k-pop back then and said he remembered BTS starting out because they were so different from the others. He thought they were so cool and was excited about them, but after a year somehow he got distracted by new acts coming out that he had forgotten about them. I wasn’t there back then, but based off what I’ve learned (and keep learning for over a year), I would suspect that may have been due to the lack of screen time they were given (from cut and shortened broadcasts) could be one of the factors. If that is true, I guess the affluent/powerful agencies that ruled the industry did their job in taking the spotlight off of the undeniable “it” factor rookies from a nobody company. I am always open to hear what original ARMYs have to share from what they remember happened back then.
Little late here with the comments and just started watching your reactions but I gotta say, I really enjoy them. As a baby ARMY get for a very emotional ride. BTS can make you smile, laugh, scream, cry all in one video or one performance! I really hope you keep reacting to the older songs/videos and work your way forward so you can see how they change and grow, its one amazing journey! Along the way take the time to watch the dance practices, the Run BTS episodes, the Bonvoyage series, you will be amazed at some of the things these boys get themselves into!! You will also see just how much these 7 human beings love and respect each other and how much they need each other. That is one of the reasons ARMY loves them and one of the reasons they love ARMY! When they are together they are stronger and when they are apart they are the first to say they miss and need the others. They are more than just 7 members of a group they are family and it shows. Thank you for taking the time to learn about them and giving them the respect they deserve!
they're such babies in this one, it's crazy to see the difference when you look at them now! i think you'll also like no! which has some similar themes and an incredible dance break. they've had meaningful lyrics since even before their debut, back when they were trainees the rap line put out a song about toxic school culture and the way so many kids are mistreated. when it comes to school funding in the us, one of the biggest problems is that the funding is tied to property tax, so areas with high property values have more money to give to the schools. it's one of the major ways that generational wealth gaps are perpetuated.
The rapping is off the chain in this song Suga💜, RM🐨💜, JK💜, for reeeeeal🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Oh yeah the one in the background was Jimin💜 he hit those high notes like damn🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 But their lyrics are amazing, my dream is to join the airforce after college.
You'd have to check with ARMY but I was under the impression that BTS was originally a Rap Group also with 7 members. When HItman Bang decided to make them into an Idol group, the other members dropped out leaving RM as the sole remaining member. Then the others were recruited. Suga, J-Hope (originally a vocalist who taught himself to rap so V could be a vocalist instead). And btw I still think this is a banger! They might have been young when they did this, but it's like they had foresight on what they wanted their vibe to be. I have a real soft spot for their earlier work.
1theK was BTS' videos original distributor when they started. If you want to see the earlier MVs with their english translation look for BTS' songs in the 1theK UA-cam channel 😉
Thank you for your great reaction! BTS was supposed to debut as a hip hop group. Among the trainees for consideration under BTS' lineup are RM, Suga, Supreme Boi & Jhope. Jhope was recruited as a vocalist/dancer. He learned to rap from RM so he won't be out of place among the great rap trainees. But BigHit decided to change the concept to an IDOL group. Huge turnaround. RM, Supreme Boi stayed. Suga agreed to stay after he was scamed in the con of the century to stay (Bang PD, the boss of BigHit convinced Suga that he only need to rap & not do much dancing *hahahaha*). Anyway BigHit started recruiting more trainees. V was recruited as a rapper but after he got in, he confessed that he wanted to sing, so Jhope swopped position with him & continued his training in rap. Jin was recruited as Visual (a member with the most outstanding looksa good looks). Jungkook as rappervocalist & Jimin as vocalist/dancer. Supreme Boi quit soon after the team selection was made (the first BTS group photo feature 8 members) but stayed as a producer. BTS continued training with 7 members, did promo as 7 members & debuted as 7 members and as an IDOL group. RM & Suga received much hate for being in an idol group because they have to put on makeup & because the rap by idol groups are regarded as fake raps by the hip hop people. However many early sound of BTS is heavily influenced by hip hop, like this song (which in all honesty isn't pure hip hop). But not all their songs are hip hop heavy. If you go through their discography, their sound have been diverse right from the start. And BTS doesn't have an official visual position anymore. They grew up from nerdy teens into hot young men, all of them are now visuals 😅.
what can I say about my Jiminie beside his vocals even back then were amazing and TBH they haven't changed much, this song is such an amazing song and sometimes I find myself going back to this song and their older ones to just remind myself of how far they have come and of how much they have grown, my favourite bits must be Jung kook's rap (we need more of that in future songs) and the dance break bit when Jimin ran across the members backs. Also as someone already said even back then you couldn't ignore my Jiminie's vocals.
man if you wanna see their hip-hop/rnb influences, you could listen to hip hop phile/hip hop lover. rm learned from the old school rappers and i'm sure he shared his interests with the rest of bts. the vocals are also pretty chill.
And I forgot to mention in my earlier two comments: you can imagine that as the ‘big three’ kpop agencies controlled the media in essentially every aspect, a group like BTS rapping about young people going their own paths, fuck what the society and what the government wants... it’s what the ‘big three’ agencies would NOT want to be shown on TV, so they can keep putting out their own music and their own bands, so that the young people have less opportunity to hear BTS’ message, which means more kids stay in school, which is what the government want...
12:21 The most amazing things for me is they always give me surprise in their non-title songs of each album. And their albums are not bloated at all. There is no such song makes you feel the song is used to make up the number . So if you have extra time, you can try to listen to a random albums especially the old albums. They've tried many new things in their albums so there must be some songs which are not your taste but you still feel they put many effort in it. For me, WINGS era is not quite for my taste, however, it is the most impressive album for me. Really really impressive.
Love your in depth reactions and your attention to detail. It warms up my heart to see new ARMYs really take the time to soak in their messages. Enjoy the journey. It's a blast! Also, quick note for the color coded lyrics, whenever one of the members sings / raps, their picture also lights up (not just their written name). So you can look at the picture as well to see who it is. Altho there are times when they're not 100% accurate but as a guideline it works
The word you’re looking for is “versatility”, and BTS is the most versatile group. Their music types span several genres and this is why we shouldn’t label them as Kpop. You nice keep going 💜💜
im mid-watching right now and yeah theyve definitely had meaningful lyrics since forever! actually even before debut. on their BANGTANTV channel one of their first videos is a song by RM about the importance of voting! theyve always been using their voice in the right way
BTS are true album artists with no skips. Their diversity & quality in their music from the very beginning is what makes them stand out. It's really worthwhile for any ARMY to go listen through all of their albums and read the translations. It's amazing to see their growth too, musically & lyrically as you go through eras. I'd like to recommend two introduction videos; Crash Course 2020 (warning: there's spoilers/snippets of many songs) and BTS's contribution to music. Also just note that color-coded videos aren't always accurate, so just use them as a rough guide to get the gist of the meaning. Thanks for the video and hope you're enjoying everything BTS! :)
BTS is versatile, inclusive and multicultural: universal. They address universal 'truths' in their lyrics in universal forms of music and visual arts. They hit home so often because of that. "This is speaking to me, loud and cleat" Yes...it is. Their lyrics are deep and meaningful to us, regardless of our age, color, gender preference, cultural background and what not... And even before their debut they hit hard ( check out 'SCHOOL OF TEARS' Jin, RM & Suga ) and remember Big Hit's slogan: "Music and Artist for Healing". Thank you for being so thorough about the lyrics (pause and go back if need to ;) ) Peace and love to you darling, Angie from México
Not all the members have been together 10 years. RM was shortly joined by Suga, so they've been together the longest. I'm not sure of the exact time, but J-Hope joined the trainees. I believe this was the time when the plan was still to be a hip-hop group. Then Hit-man Bang decided to make them an idol group. Then Jin and JK joined at the same time, followed by V. The last to join was Jimin - he was a trainee for a short period; I think he joined late 2012 or early 2013. I could research exact dates, but I need to go fix dinner.
Watching the old videos is like looking at their baby pictures :) There are videos of them watching some of these old videos and they are laughing so hard and in some cases screaming with embarrassment. I like seeing them change over the years, they all have so much talent and have worked so hard to be where they are now. Respect.
Yes they have written amazing lyrics from the beginning... i think it scared a lot of people...it still does.... I agree about schools... but we are older and have gone thru such a terrible ways of learning.... i am toddler silver army...lol these young men are just so talented and I feel they are a once in a generation phenomenon... and so humble..so aware and kind... they speak to me and the world problems... touching many people that can relate to what they have to Say!! I look forward to following your bts journey... i have hit and missed things..so will get more bts knowledge along with you
As a recommendation I would also react to their dance practices. Maybe you can react to a dance practice along with the yric videos if there's no official MV. Their dance practices are off the chain. Also check out Baepsae (Crow Tit/Silverspoon) there's no MV it is a dance practice.
Even back then, Jimin’s vocals couldn’t be ignored
Fact
who would've thought that that line "I wanna big house big cars and big rings" would become such a symbolic line. This same line was mentioned in Home, Interlude shadow and finally it evolved into "I got a big house, big cars and big rings" in What Do You Think
I’m so glad you’re reacting to their older work, since a lot of “baby” ARMY tend to ignore it. There is a misconception within a part of the community that seems to believe BTS were “flops” during their early years, when the truth is that while, yes, they were underdogs, they were also incredibly successful for a group coming from a small company. This is the reason why they were so attacked and suppressed by the media. This here is just a small list of their achievements from their early “underdog” years (2013-2015):

Yeah. It seems like some new fans aren't even interested in listening to the earlier albums, they have no idea how some of the older songs are great. Some probably watch the older mvs once just to be able to recognize them and that's it.
TamaoChan i think because our fandom is so big, there are a lot of misconceptions flying around. it also hurts that our fanbase is separated by social media, since instagram fans always seem to be out of the loop when it comes to new information and facebook fans are close behind. Twitter can be kind of toxic, but it is the most informed. For example, I haven’t seen a lot of people outside of twitter talk about their new song coming out this friday.
@@TamaoChan and it's so unfair their older songs are literally gold "DARK & WILD" is my favorite BTS album of all times and I start to be an ARMY before "Fake Love" after "DNA" so I'm a little new because I'm not a baby Army but I'm not a veteran. "Look Here" is so an Underrated song and is so good like that song is art and their Japanese songs are Underrated too and the most Underrated japanese song from BTS is "Wishing on a Star" I believe more than the half of the Fandom don't know that song lol. I just hope people look more into their earlier work even if do love with are my heart the knew album my second favorite is "Love Yourself:Tear" and that album have a lot of Underrated song like "Love Made" (my name lol) and "134340(Pluto)"
@@breea3426 I think that that's because that song is going to be out in the Japanese channel and a lot of new fans are coming now and they don't know a lot about that but I can blame them because when it's comes to BTS there a lot of material to dig in and it can be a little difficult but we are for that to lead them and teach them
@@breea3426 yeah, I agree, although I'm not a Twitter fan (it's just too toxic for me, my mental health cant handle it), it is the most updated one.
But I think sooner or later everyone ends up knowing about what's going on, I think that some new fans (and that really just some of them) really should give the old albums a try, I dont really think different social media has anything to do with this because it's not something that's happening or being commented rn. It's just like you said in your first comment, some people think they were flops, or everyone talks about how they were more hip hop and think they won't like the older songs, but omfg there's so many great songs.
Yep, their discography is hit after hit. Top-quality across the board.

(BTS’ very first single, “No More Dream,” is all about the group telling fans to follow their own dreams rather than fall prey to society’s expectations. Released when the majority of the group’s members were teenagers, the song strongly relates to how South Korean youth culture revolves largely around the country’s emphasis on education, which sees most students -- as young as kindergartners -- attending special after school classes with the aim of attending the prestigious SKY universities: Seoul National, Korea, and Yonsei)

(The “Bulletproof” series is a play on BTS’ Korean name, Bangtan Sonyeondan, which translates to Bulletproof Boy Scouts. The message behind their name centered on protecting young people from stereotypes and criticism, which they likened to bullets.)

(When BTS worked for their dream they werent able to know if they will make it or not. And even if they had their debut, it was unclear if they will succeed. They were a lot kpop groups who disbanded in the same year as their debut. Its really scary, isnt it? Zo work for a dream without knowing what your future will be like. I mean, no one knows it. Doesnt matter which dream you have but being an idol is a hard one).

m.ua-cam.com/video/zjvkYEaJLwQ/v-deo.html
(The song is about being kids/teens being pressured and forced to study, to care so much about grades and being perfect good students and being successful and having safe careers and making money etc. and how that pressure negatively affects kids/teens. BTS are trying to encourage them to stand up and have their own dreams and pursue those dreams and not focus so much on these things and be forced into someone else’s dream.
“N.O,” featured messagingusing double entendres (“Hands up to the SKY”) as the group addressed the hardships they and their peers have faced: "Who made us study machines?" raps Suga. "Who will take responsibility [for us] living the lives of puppets?" RM asks as a response to his earlier question of “Will this really make our parents happy?” The entire song similarly questions the lifestyle of South Korean students and, like "No More Dream," expresses a desire to see change).

>Satoori Rap/PALDOGANGSAN
(Korea used to be made of 8 provinces that all have their own culture and variation of language (called satoori). As the boys come from different places, they use different dialects that are sometimes different from standard Korean.
The point here is that while most of their songs are in standard Korean, there have been times where they used satoori. The biggest case is obviously “팔도강산” (Paldogangsan, meaning “the scenery of all parts of Korea” and titled “Satoori Rap” in English. In this song they are rapping in regional accent/dilect from they belong.They dissed each other and rap that their town from which they belong have this and that.basically they are fighting over who's home town is better lol.listening to this song is so much fun.)

Those high notes are from Jimin. Hint: During Color Coded Lyrics Videos, the actually photo/image will be "in color" to alert you who's doing the singing for that part.
Yes unfortunately he chose the wrong video, normally the color coded videos are more clearer, we can easily see who is singing because the photos are also colored not just the translation
@@celiam4842 the photos were coloured in the vid he used just not as clear
I laughed at that he was so wrong. I recognize my Jimin no matter what. His voice is perfect to me.
BangPD, the CEO of BIGHIT, told them that “they must write their own stories”. RM has the most songs chosen for the albums. He reads a lot of meaningful books on philosophy and psychology and wanted to be a poet.
If you’re planning on delving deeper into this rabbit hole and learn more about the members as people, I recommend learning their legal names (last name, first name). Also, whenever we have to list the members, please know that they will always be listed starting from the leader, then followed by oldest-to-youngest. This is also how the fanchant goes. It’s a sign of respect to the members.
RM-Kim Namjoon (nicknames: joon, joonie, nam)
Jin-Kim Seokjin (nicknames: jin, jinnie (by fans), seokjinnie (himself)
Suga-Min Yoongi (nicknames: too many to count. Just misspell his name and it’s considered a nickname. Sometimes can be spell as Min YoonKi)
J-Hope-Jung Hoseok (nicknames: hobi, hobah, sunshine)
Jimin-Park Jimin (nicknames: chim-chim, jiminie, jiminah, minie)
V-Kim Taehyung (nicknames: Tae, Taetae)
Jungkook-Jeon Jungkook (nicknames: JK, Kookie, Gukkie, bunny (by fans))
Also, these are a list of terms you will come across at some point in your journey, so it would be helpful for you to learn them. They helped me a lot at the beginning.
Hyung-older brother, used amongst family & friends that are very close. Used by males to refer to males. Younger people must use this when speaking to someone older than them, often as a suffix to their name. For example, JK as the youngest must address all of the other members as hyung
Nuna/noona-basically Hyung, but used when males refer to an older female.
Oppa-basically hyung, used by females referring to an older male (this term specifically has been often sexualized by international fans who see it as the term “daddy” (yeah, I know). However, it is important to Korean culture and it does NOT mean this. The term sort of took this form because girlfriends will sometimes use it to refer to their boyfriends if he’s older than her. Again, this is a term of respect in Korean culture, and it shouldn’t be used by international fans
Unnie-basically hyung, used by females referring to an older female
Dongsaeng-younger sibling, gender neutral. Because the age rank in S. Korean favors the oldest, this doesn’t have to be attached to a name. For example, Jin as the oldest does not have to add dongsaeng to the members’ names. He may just call them by their name. He’d use this term, however, when speaking ABOUT them, especially in a formal setting.
Sunbae-basically “senior”. Used as a form of respect for someone who has more experience than you in the work place.
Hoobae-basically “junior”. For example, in Big Hit, BTS are TXT’s (another group under the label) Sunbae’s and TXT are BTS’ Hoobae’s. These terms are more professional, however, and because BTS and TXT are from the same label and fairly close, they just use hyung and dongsaeng.
-sshi (or -ssi)-standard label of politeness to refer to someone. Used in semi-formal situations. You can also think of it as “sir”. They way you’d see it used is attached to a name (Jimin-ssi)
-nim-a higher level of politeness. You use it towards you boss, an elder in your family, so on. Often used by BTS when referring to their boss. They also use it when referring to the older members in politeness, attaching it to the word ‘hyung’ (hyungnim)
-ah/yah-it’s like calling someone ‘hey’. Not impolite, but only used between close friends/family and only towards someone younger than you/same age as you. You’ll often hear the older members using this to address the younger members (using their legal names) i.e. Jin calling Suga “Yoongi-ah” or RM calling J-Hope “Hobah” (Hobi is one of J-Hope’s nicknames) Friendly and informal. This is only used when you’re speaking TO the person.
-ee/ie-only used when speaking ABOUT a person, it implies a sense of familiarity with the person you’re speaking about. Also only used towards someone younger/same age as you. Example, when speaking about Jimin, the members will often call him Jiminie.
PD-Producer. You’ll often hear this when the members are talking about Big Hit’s CEO (their boss) Bang Si-hyuk. They’ll call him Bang Si-hyuk PD-nim (since he’s their boss, they must attach -nim to the title). Speaking of Bang Si-hyuk, you’ll also see them call him Hitman Bang, which is sort of his “stage” name. The members do not call him PD-him in this situation, though they only use it when they want to poke fun at him. They have a very close relationship with their boss and mutual respect, so this is always in good fun.
Maknae-the youngest in the group. JK is BTS’ maknae. Often referred to as the “Golden Maknae”, a nickname given to him by RM since he’s good at everything.
Maknae-Line-you’ll often see this used by ARMY. It usually includes the three youngest in the group - Jimin, V, Jungkook
Hyung Line-the four oldest in the group - Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM
Dance-line-the four members who are the official dancers of the group - J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook.
Sub-unit -often used in attachment to songs, it’s when the members do a particular song with only a set number of members. For example, UGH is a sub-unit song (often just refer to as a rap-line song) but there are also songs with subunits as rapper/vocal/vocal. These sub-units are often separated into 2/2/3
Weverse-a social media app used only by Big Hit and their groups. The members often post pictures and reply to fans here. They use it more often than twitter. Here, you can also find their web series and documentaries.
Weverse Shop- a separate app used to purchase merch and albums
Vlive-kind of like YT, used by almost every kpop group out there. Here, the members upload live videos. Big Hit has been trying to slowly get out of Vlive and use weverse exclusively, but until then, you can also find some of their web series in this app. Anything from this app will give you a copyright strike on YT, if you want to post, only do so on Patreon
Run! BTS-a web series where the members participate in challenges, play games, and act a fool. Most funny video compilations take clips from here. Completely free, I recommend watching on vlive
Bon Voyage-a travel vlog where the members are given a destination, set budget, and then left alone. They have to plan the entire trip, they get no help from their managers, only have a camera crew. It’s meant to help them bond, and show fans their personalities. This is paid content, and there are currently four seasons
Burn The Stage, Bring The Soul, Break The Silence-documentaries about the behind-the-scenes of their concerts. This is also paint content. Burn the Stage and Bring The Soul were first released as movies, though there is also a mini video series. Break The Silence doesn’t have a movie as of yet, just the mini-video series.
Comeback-any time a group comes out with a new album. BTS is currently working on their new album, and though nothing is official, there are rumors that their comeback will be on October.
Comeback trailer-a song often released a few weeks before the album official drops
Comeback teaser-little clips released periodically before an album to hint at themes within the album
Comeback stage-the first performance a group does of a new song once the album has dropped. BTS is the only group who has had a Comeback Stage at the BBMAs and SNL
Bree A thank you for this! 💜
GIRL HOW YOU CAN FORGOT JIMIN-SSI? lmao hajajajaja
xXLOVE MAZEXx i did add it lol, under -ssi term explanation
@@breea3426 lol I know I didn't express myself right I was talking to put Jimin-ssi like one of the nicknames of Jiminie I'm sorry I didn't express myself right
xXLOVE MAZEXx haha don’t worry. Jk’s jimin-ssi is iconic
That was Jimin singing those ad libs...one of my 7 biases!!😁
Kasaletaak 4, OT7 all the way for me too.
Mr. Bang (Hitman Bang) started BigHit with the vision of having a group that would be inspiring peers for the youth. It's exactly the motto that you heard j-hope talk about in a previous compilation video ("Bangtan means to block out stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations that rain on young people like bullets..."). Yes, BTS was started for this purpose and they came out swinging. In South Korea, the school system is much more rigid than in the U.S., and it's also so much more expected of young people to do well in exams so they can fulfill their parents' dreams of getting into one of the big universities and getting "big house, big cars" that SUGA raps about. So this song and era of their music is very anti-establishment. (Actually a lot of their lyrics throughout their career challenge the status quo.) Thanks for the great reaction!
Oooo going all the way back to the beginning!
Yes indeed!
No lie, when I see their original MV’s I can’t get over how smol and angry they were. They’ve changed so much but they can still cover such a range of genres.
We love to see it

(BTS’ very first single, “No More Dream,” is all about the group telling fans to follow their own dreams rather than fall prey to society’s expectations. Released when the majority of the group’s members were teenagers, the song strongly relates to how South Korean youth culture revolves largely around the country’s emphasis on education, which sees most students -- as young as kindergartners -- attending special after school classes with the aim of attending the prestigious SKY universities: Seoul National, Korea, and Yonsei)

(When BTS worked for their dream they werent able to know if they will make it or not. And even if they had their debut, it was unclear if they will succeed. They were a lot kpop groups who disbanded in the same year as their debut. Its really scary, isnt it? Zo work for a dream without knowing what your future will be like. I mean, no one knows it. Doesnt matter which dream you have but being an idol is a hard one).

>ORUL82 comeback trailer

(The song is about being kids/teens being pressured and forced to study, to care so much about grades and being perfect good students and being successful and having safe careers and making money etc. and how that pressure negatively affects kids/teens. BTS are trying to encourage them to stand up and have their own dreams and pursue those dreams and not focus so much on these things and be forced into someone else’s dream.
“N.O,” featured messagingusing double entendres (“Hands up to the SKY”) as the group addressed the hardships they and their peers have faced: "Who made us study machines?" raps Suga. "Who will take responsibility [for us] living the lives of puppets?" RM asks as a response to his earlier question of “Will this really make our parents happy?” The entire song similarly questions the lifestyle of South Korean students and, like "No More Dream," expresses a desire to see change).

>Satoori Rap/PALDOGANGSAN
(Korea used to be made of 8 provinces that all have their own culture and variation of language (called satoori). As the boys come from different places, they use different dialects that are sometimes different from standard Korean.
The point here is that while most of their songs are in standard Korean, there have been times where they used satoori. The biggest case is obviously “팔도강산” (Paldogangsan, meaning “the scenery of all parts of Korea” and titled “Satoori Rap” in English. In this song they are rapping in regional accent/dilect from they belong.They dissed each other and rap that their town from which they belong have this and that.basically they are fighting over who's home town is better lol.listening to this song is so much fun.)

@@petitechatnoir123 I know they were acting tough, but its adorable. Like a puppy trying to intimidate you.
ARMY have been joking that Hitman Bang and the Big Hit team have been planning BTS whole discography and career since 18th century 🤭🤭🤭 All their era and trilogy have great and well defined story be it in terms of the visual, sounds or even the Bangtan Universe storyline. Props to the whole team! 👏👏👏
7:29 - Yeah, it is crazy, but it’s why Army says that BTS doesn’t have a genre. They actually have something for anyone.
10:58 - That’s Jimin providing the adlibs in the background. JK’s background adlib comes in after, at the very end. (11:22)
14:53 - No, it’s not Suga, it really is JK.
Fetus JK = rapper JK 💜
19:18 - Yes, these guys have had an actual message in their lyrics from debut. At the time, Kpop had become so manufactured, they were scoffed at for them.
The song is about the loss of dreams. Society, school, & parents beat them down until a person fits into an appropriate box.
Raving_Mad i can’t help but to laugh a lot with this word “Fetus JK” 😂✌️😂😝
10:55 btw the person in the backround was jimin
I came faster than Suga's rap
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol me 2
😄😄😄😄
Kim Yasmine 🤣🤣🤣
I read that wrong. I am disgusted with myself.
Been a fan since 2015 and yes the only thing I can say! Yes they have grown physically but they still the same boys from 7 years ago, their personalities, their passion for their job and always working hard to achieve their goals and always wanting to do the best. That's why no one can be another BTS and no one can replace these 7 members. NO ONE
Dance line 4 members
»Jhope> robotic ,flowy , freestyle hip hop dance moves.
»Jimin>sharp/contemporary dance moves
»Jungkook>powerful hardhitting/fast dance moves
»Taehyung>Smooth/sexy dance moves +expression standout.
Suga is also very good dancer after taehyung.
Rm and jin improved so much.they all work so hard.
I appreciate all their hard work.
Rap line 3 members
>Rm rap is sometimes poetic,philosophical,
emotional/personal and sometimes aggressive with wordplays.
>Suga rap is like fire for haters and sometimes personal and emotional.
>Jhope rap is flowy/melodic which gives you positive vibes and sometimes aggressive. His flow is so unique.
Rap line is amazing songwriter , producer and rappers unique and best in their own way.
Vocal line 4 members
>Jungkook »Main vocalist , natural singing voice is breathy ,but he can easily do higher and lower notes , his singing is so versatile.he do 80%of adlibs,background vocals and runs in every album.His vocals are so stable while dancing to hardest choreography.His breath control is out of this world.
>Jimin » lead vocalist , natural singing voice is high pitch ,he can easily do highnotes, sometimes his voice is raspy. His voice is higher than Mt Everest lol.
>Taehyung»lead vocalist , natural singing voice is deep , but he can do highnotes , his voice is deeper than ocean.
>Jin» lead vocalist , natural singing voice is in middle range and can do highnotes , his voice is sweet like honey.
From vocal line
in producing and composing songs Jungkook and taehyung are very good.
In songwriting they all are good Jk , jimin , V , jin
and improved so much.
That s Jimin in the background but that s fine:))).You should watch a live performance of this:))You are a baby army, so it s totally ok if you say some things wrong, just enjoy it.
rebecaa, I’m a baby ARMY too (even at almost 51years old). My daughter got me into this when we were supposed to go to the May 14th concert in Orlando. It has been so fun and interesting learning with everyone that is also new to this. It’s also nice being educated by the ARMY that has been around for a while. Thank you.
Shelly S Oh, I am so happy💜Welcome to our family😌🥰😂
Oh yeah, and Jungkook rapped early on too. That’s also when they practiced 15+ hours a day. Right off the bat they were so in sync and they always hit hard.
I actually really recommend you to react to every album they released chronologically. BTS has amazing album discography. 😊
Yes! I’m a baby Army and went and downloaded all their albums and then listened to them in release order! I also downloaded the Japanese versions! Seriously, all their music is amazing and have such deep messages within the lyrics. No wonder they have such a huge Army that live and support them!
Once you get through the School albums and reach the most beautiful moments in life albums there will be a lot of theories about the bangtan universe so make sure to pay attention to the music videos and lyrics. Love your reactions 💜
I recommend just looking at the lyrics on Doolset website. It's much more accurate than a lot of the color-coded lyrics videos and also gives some background explanations as well as song credits.
Even their pre-debut songs were about school system problems, self-belief and bullying. I mean, they were teenagers themselves. It's funny how a 2013 song geared to high school students still hits hard, even for people on their 30s, 40s, whatever age.
10:10 dude please rewind all the times you want that's my favorite part about your reaction that you are actually looking into it I really love it.
You nice keep going
Yes!! You nailed it! They have stood out since their debut with intelligent, unique, and meaningful lyrics. You are so smart. You have come so far in a very short time and learned so much. This is why BTS so easily draws us in and makes us ARMY. The diversity of their art and their high standards are completely unlike anything else out there. Love your reactions. Thank you for all of the hard work you put into this.
the journey has begun. You will be so happy, and then you will see again WE ARE BULLETPROOF THE ETERNAL... AND CRYING EVEN MORE...

Hi! I don't know how to tell you how relieved I am that you're reacting to their older songs, a lot of ARMYs on youtube like to recommend their newer stuff, but their early albums are also a literal gold mine. I left a similar comment to your previous video, but I'll leave one here too because I think it's really important for anyone who wants to be able to get to know and appreciate BTS on a deeper level:
I know there are a ton of comments asking you to react to MMA 2019, however I hope you'll continue to wait until you listen to more of their songs and react to at least MMA 2018 first, if not their even earlier performances. MMA 2019 was their best awards show performance yet and I think many of us would appreciate seeing you witness BTS's growth first and most importantly, listen to more of their songs, both newer and older. In their latest performance on MMA, they reference so many of their older songs and they also performed some songs you haven't even reacted to yet. I wouldn't normally leave a comment asking a reactor to get to know BTS and their older performances first, but you seem to genuinely want to get to know and appreciate them whereas other reactors are just trying to pump out videos for their audience. I really hope you consider this. I'll leave the set list of songs for both 2018 and 2019 just so you know how much you'd probably be missing out on. ARMYs let me know if I left anything out and I'll add it.
MMA 2018:
1. Fake Love
2. Airplane pt. 2
3. Idol
MMA 2019:
1. Intro: Persona
2. Boy in Love
3. Boy with Luv
4. Mikrokosmos
5. Dionysus
Songs referenced in MMA 2019:
1. No More Dream
2. Danger
3. I Need U
4. Fire
5. Save Me
6. Fake Love
7. N.O

>Satoori Rap/PALDOGANGSAN
(Korea used to be made of 8 provinces that all have their own culture and variation of language (called satoori). As the boys come from different places, they use different dialects that are sometimes different from standard Korean.
The point here is that while most of their songs are in standard Korean, there have been times where they used satoori. The biggest case is obviously “팔도강산” (Paldogangsan, meaning “the scenery of all parts of Korea” and titled “Satoori Rap” in English. In this song they are rapping in regional accent/dilect from they belong.They dissed each other and rap that their town from which they belong have this and that.basically they are fighting over who's home town is better lol.listening to this song is so much fun.)

You’re conditioned to limit your dreams. That is so true! BTS pushed back right from the start and that’s what made them so different 😁🇬🇧💜
Yes! From the start, BTS challenged kpop norms.
Yes. Since their debut, they sang what’s in their minds. Bang PD asked BTS two things when they form BTS; you should make songs which are from your own thoughts and contribute the positive affect to the world. Surely, they’ve been keeping their jobs since day one till now.
Versatile
Lyricism and stage presence have always been there. That's why they had fans.
BTS is a very versatile group, and they just don't adapt, the perfection it bringing it to a new level.
No More dream is Actually Their Debut Song also: *Bang Shi hyuk (who owns/created their Company Bighit & put BTS together), He has always given BTS freedom for BTS to write their own stories into songs to help others, his whole goal was for BTS to someday completely write and produce make an album COMPLETELY on their own, which they are finally doing this year they are currently working on their album completely made by them....pretty much every song BTS has put out has had their name in the credits, after working mooore than 7 years with professionals as a team, they're Finally ready to put all their knowledge and experience from over the years to their very own album with no other names attached to it..that was always Bangs goal and I'm so proud to see all their hardwork prosper, I can't wait to see what BTS will come up with in their creative freedom 💜*
Thats what we call BTS genre...
They are not a hip hop... not a pop... not a ballad... not EDM... not a Kpop... etc...
Watching their MVs in order is like we watch a movies in series... We can see how they grow up since debut till now...
Just like a journey of the life...
From teen... youth... and finally become an adult...
In conclusion...
Artist : BTS
Music genre : BTS (themselves)
Bang PD said before they debut that they have to make a music that is coming from their own mind and thought and heart. (I forget what the detail speech but the point is like that), thats way their musics feel so different than the others...
They already have a mission since the beginning... And they have a clear messages to spread with their lyrics...
The messages is so clear even tho I don't read the translation first... and after I read it, it makes me more realize how thoughtful they are...
(^_^)
Their first song, and already going against the strict korean study system. In korea parents and the society putt so much pressure in young kids to be a professional with a degree, if you don't have minimum a school diploma, you're less than nothing(well this happen in all the world too) So the youngs grow up with out big dreams, just focus on study wherever career is imposed to them(doctor, lawyer, engineer, etc), in get a house and a car, and that's what society calls "happines".
If you see "N.O." the message is more clear.
It's really impresive that their first song was that political and not just a catchy song to attract people, I think is thanks to the freedom that they have in their songs.
back then they didn't have much control over their styles(they needed to stand up among others haha, so they start with strong concept characters) but you would see through the videos how they started developing their own styles and had more freedom with that too.
Yeah, they always had great lyrics. That's one of the reasons why I love them and their songs, old or new. You know, after you'll react to most of the older MVs, you should watch "we are buletproof: the eternal" again, the animation is based on their old MVs including this one and it's another layer of emotions. :)
You also need to know that some of their past and future songs are linked in terms of what they didn't have in the past, the haters, the bad interviews, being teased on live TV and self hate they sing about all these things and in their future songs they learn to accept that there will always be someone discriminate them and they also learned to accept themselves
This song was inspired by RM past childhood, when he feel empty because he didnt have any dream. What he knows only study n study. But luckily, his father encourage him, if he didnt have any dream, just study hard as he can rn. So when he already know what his dream is, he is already prepare himself early from now n it will help him in the future for whatever he will decide for he want to be. RM very thankful because of that, because his knowledge that he gained from his past study so hard, now is helping him to write a clever lyrics.
BTS's discography is quite diverse in the genres and types of music they cover. They once said that they use whatever suits the message and the feeling the best (not an exact quote). They started off more hip-hop and then branched out to various other genres and styles.
They debuted in 2013 but they've been together longer. RM was the first to become part of the group in 2010 and Suga joined not long after. J-Hope and Jin also joined somewhere in 2010, so they've been together for 10 years. Jungkook and V joined in 2011. Jimin was the last to join in 2012, so 8 years is the least amount of time they've been together.
It was actually Jimin in the background for this one and Jungkook is a sub-rapper but he doesn't really rap anymore.
The lyrics are colour coded to the names, but also the picture of the person who is singing will also be in colour instead of black and white. Be cautious with these colour-coded lyric videos, they're not always accurate in translation or which member is singing when.
They've always had meaningful lyrics. Obviously there are the songs that aren't so deep but usually their lyrics have meaning, and usually at least one track per album that deals with a social issue.
7:38 The word you are looking for is "growth". :) That's what happened to them through the last 7 years. Unlike what you suppose though, this was probably the time where they had the least saying in their styles. lol
RM was signed first (2009/2010), Jimin then came as the very last one (2012) and he said himself that his trainee time was really hard and stressful on him, as he had the least amount of time to develop his skills and almost didn’t make it to debut; they even joke about it with J-Hope to this day (them being close to get kicked out of their training program on a few occasions).
Watching live stages of their songs is an absolute must so you can see what they are truly capable of. 💜💜💜 You could combine a MV + color coded + live of the same song😊
There is “ We are bullet proof, pt.1” too btw, and you can hear it together with “We are bullet proof, pt.2” as a live performance!!! An absolute gem, because you can hear them all rap in it which is an incredibly rare occasion.
Bang PD wanted them to honestly express how it felt be young in today's South Korea, he wanted to give the young people a voice. They always say their goal was to give hope to young people, to give them a voice. But their songs speak to all ages, all cultures. They inspire me, in my 50s to keep fighting, keep dreaming, keep being the best ME that I can be. To make the changes from within first, then change the world.
They are able to jump genes so effortlessly. Sometimes there is 3 or 4 different genres in one song. I think just ONE reason ARMY is so diverse. There is something for almost everyone's taste.
I love this being their debut song. To me, it still stands out as the song that "defines" Bts the most. They have always been a voice of our generation (and I'm older than them, lol), questioning why we MUST do things a certain way. They encourage us to be true to ourselves and to pursue our dreams - from debut until now. I will always be an Army because of songs and messages like this!
💜They were so young! Their first 3 albums were about schools and adolescent hardships. Baby jungkook rapping and the vocal line getting their hip hop persona on. Big hit actually gave them a lot of support and leeway to sing the songs about Korean strict school system. N.O. should be one of the next videos to watch. They were able to send a message out to the youth to pursue your dreams. As they grew up, the music matured and they stepped back from being a hip hop group and let all the 7 boys talent shine. Army supported them from the beginning. Love your reactions. I know its hard to put into words the feelings you get from BTS lyrics and music, but ARMY understands. We all feel like these boys are a once in a lifetime gift. 💜💜
I think you're gonna love their song "tomorrow"😊
As you can imagine, and from what I’m sure you may know being part korean and from seeing things in the media, there is an element in the societies in the countries of Asia (not just Korea) whereby a strict school education is needed to be successful in the future.
Society tells parents to push their children towards the career path of doctors, law and order, engineers. And for the most part, parents do, and it makes for a lot of unhappy children.
BTS recognised then and still recognise now (note; Suga/Agust D/Yoongi faced a lot of hard hard times with his parents over this very thing and it was a contributing factor to his poor mental health) that whilst getting an education is a good thing; it should not be forced down the throats of children, there shouldn’t be a harsh pressure to be the best of the best.
It’s what a lot of their earlier discography is about: the, some would say ‘corrupt’, schooling system, young people needing to find their own dreams, and knowing that not having a dream straight away is okay.
You are very correct they studied the hip hop era of the 90s before they started so for about 3 yrs (excluding Jimin - his training was about 6 mo) so they started in the thing they did best but they realized that they were more than a hip hop group because of their potential to dance and sing so well. and no that was Jimin in the background doing the yea yea. But they did some great hip hop videos to begin with. The baby Jungkook can rap fast but sings like a lark so singing was what he does, he is the main vocalist but misses his rapping days sometimes but they don't want him to get to worn out during concerts so they stopped him from rapping. Bang Shi Hyuk the Director/Producer/father of BTS told the boys in the beginning to write songs about how they felt about school, life, and their dreams and then helped them produce songs that reflected their feelings. Most Korean parents (especially Suga's) wanted them to go to school and then university where then they can sit for the civil exam test and become government officials to make big money. But this song is about the dreams that most kids have to work hard to suppress, don't tell parents, because that will make them sad or even mad. Jin and J-Hope at the end of their first concert at Sky Dome in Seoul both said that they could now look at their parents because now their parents would be proud of having sons like them, Suga bowed down to the floor and cried at seeing his parents in the audience.
Yes thats why BTS stand among others and they are the best, they never make some superficial music since debut.... the Big Hit logo said, Music & Artist for Healing... they want to heal our soul.. 💜💜💜
I’m so glad you’re going back to the earlier eras. So many baby army don’t and don’t realize how good their older albums are.
You are correct! Every song in the album is carefully chosen so you don’t skip a song. I literally love every song cuz it’s so diverse and just hits you in different ways. The album series tells a big picture story but each song can stand on its own!
I love them even more when i watched their older MV's.. they really have their greatness since the beginning.. no wonder why they are the top kpop group now.. and why we-Army loves them💜💜💜
Oh the era of Jungkook rapping BRING IT BACK!!!!!
If you want to learn about them more, Here is an introduction for each member alone :
ua-cam.com/play/PL2DkAZQT8--Nie0m0Ycj8qqpMEa4pomn4.html
@19:18 - Esco, you were RIGHT!!
.
SINCE THEIR DEBUT, these guys had had meaningful lyrics.
They have planned it. They have planned to voice their concerns about many social issues even since the earlier songs of their debut.
.
One interesting fact: One youtube video reveals the fact that Suga, RM, and Jin once gathered and discussed their concerns as they watched a TV documentary exposing the reality of school violence in Korea. And this discussion happened even before their debut!! Then, they tried to voice these concerns and decided to apply these into their debut songs.
.
They were not afraid to get into such a controversial topic and had balls to speak their mind, or even to write songs about it. Again, this happened even before their debut!! From a business standpoint, for sure this would have easily jeopardized their first debut and career.
.
Another example of how they are brave enough to speak up is when they produced a song called SPRING DAY, the Queen of all songs, EVER!
Many people have a strong interpretation that this song essentially talks about the Sewol Ferry Tragedy (you may easily find in google about this painful tragedy). Although we never got any confirmation from BTS or Bighit whether this song officially relates to the tragedy or not, my point is that BTS had balls to release the song during the time period that this issue was still politically sensitive and controversial, thus easily risking their career.
.
So, IMHO, they are not (K)Pop singers. They are social messengers.
I’m so glad ARMY giving you a list and better understanding of our boys and their music 💜💜💜💜💜💜. When we see that someone is really interested, we take the time with our comments. Go ARMY :)
Baby ARMY here too! Just barely 4 months into the rabbit hole. I wish I stan them from the start. when they were still baby BTS. I cried so much when I watched their debut performance. I felt so proud of them, and what they've become now. There are only a few reactors who I feel are genuine with the boys, and you're one of them. Thank you so much! Please keep reacting. Borahae!
I love them. Tommorow is a song that got me through a tough time and made me an army. And so far away from the first agust D had suga as my bias wrecker. WINGS ALBUM was not only a grammy but an oscar worthy album. 19 out of 20 songs on their latest album has writing credits of the members as well as most as coproducers. They are currently working on an album entirely written and produced by the members. These guys are literal GENIUSES.
Hi, is exactly as you say BTS discography is impressive and is not just the size , is the fact that you would never get bored. Also as RM once said " I want to make music that gets better the more you listen to it" and I feel like he has achieved that . I like some songs more than others but all their songs are good. As always you nice,keep going. 😘💜
Yeah.... they literally came out with a serious message and desire to make a difference. I personally believe it's one of the main reasons they've been so persecuted. Anyone who tries to change the paradigm must be stopped, right? It's taken a long time, but the beacons of light are shinning brightly in this darkness. As our captain boldly said, "The World is Gonna Change..."- RM (And, shout out to Wale.)
When they perform this song live, Jungkook lifts Jimin and he walks on about 20 people's backs...it's insane!
I really enjoy your reaction vids, this song is a real ear worm thank you please keep going 😁🇬🇧💜
their old songs are bops i dont understand why ppl said its embarassing, their old songs are >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
A strange way of putting this but their debut style as socially critical as it was and which earned them best new artist ultimately was not the spark behind the extended attack BTS would suffer. Rather what ignited things was that SM Entertainment (one of the Big 3 music corporations) had banked a lot the year prior with fairly immediate results on a highly talented concept group called EXO. BTS receiving critical attention even as a small corporation player threatened EXO's ascent to the top. BTS needed to be squashed, whether by anticompetitive practices or EXO fan base trolling and internet rumor mongering. The good thing is the rawness and honesty of BTS's early style did gain them a fan base, ARMY. They were able to just make it, sometimes operating on fumes, because of this base of people who found something new and refreshing in that style. Unfortunately, attacks would continue from SM and certain members of the EXO fan base for years even as BTS evolved into new forms of musical expression.
I do want to say EXO itself should not be hated on. They are good artists and people. SM and a select portion of their fan base have earned a measure of disdain, though I hope ARMY is bigger than them and keeps it inside. Hard to do I know as both malefactors are still dishing crap though in much lighter doses.
Lyric video--MV--live performance🙏
I never get tired of listening to their older songs. my BTS spotify playlist is in no order whatsoever. I have their whole library. about 200 songs, that doesn't count the mixtapes. One reason I love their music is, since I am an older ARMY, I love that they actually have something to say in the lyrics. I became so disenchanted with American music, then I finally listened to my daughter and discovered BTS and Kpop. I couldnt help but smile when you looked at the camera because of the lyrics. You have such an adventure ahead of you. Love it! Appreciate you!!
Yes, I agree..the thing with BTS is that they manage to work on different genres & do it so well. I grew up listening the 90s music so I naturally drawn to (& prefer) BTS 90s hip hop sounds. But still I find their other genre songs are as powerful & impactful too. I just enjoy them all.
Oh I came early !!! :) I love to see how you have fallen in love with their talent and their art. i love ur videos, because i can see your sincerity, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us, i really enjoy content like this and the appreciation of our 7. By the way your comments are inspiring too. A big hug from Mexico City.
I would say it was pretty gutsy for BTS to be rapping/singing about these things from the get go. I remember seeing this one dude reacting to more recent BTS songs (he was amazed btw, sorry I don’t remember his name) said he listened to k-pop back then and said he remembered BTS starting out because they were so different from the others. He thought they were so cool and was excited about them, but after a year somehow he got distracted by new acts coming out that he had forgotten about them. I wasn’t there back then, but based off what I’ve learned (and keep learning for over a year), I would suspect that may have been due to the lack of screen time they were given (from cut and shortened broadcasts) could be one of the factors. If that is true, I guess the affluent/powerful agencies that ruled the industry did their job in taking the spotlight off of the undeniable “it” factor rookies from a nobody company. I am always open to hear what original ARMYs have to share from what they remember happened back then.
We listen to all of BTS discography. Different playlists for moods: neo-r&b/soul, pop, hip-hop/rap, the softest and sweetest. Just wait!!
*RM & Suga were underground rappers before BTS , and sugas produced since he was 12, I don't think it's shocking that they do this genre of music*
Little late here with the comments and just started watching your reactions but I gotta say, I really enjoy them. As a baby ARMY get for a very emotional ride. BTS can make you smile, laugh, scream, cry all in one video or one performance! I really hope you keep reacting to the older songs/videos and work your way forward so you can see how they change and grow, its one amazing journey! Along the way take the time to watch the dance practices, the Run BTS episodes, the Bonvoyage series, you will be amazed at some of the things these boys get themselves into!! You will also see just how much these 7 human beings love and respect each other and how much they need each other. That is one of the reasons ARMY loves them and one of the reasons they love ARMY! When they are together they are stronger and when they are apart they are the first to say they miss and need the others. They are more than just 7 members of a group they are family and it shows. Thank you for taking the time to learn about them and giving them the respect they deserve!
Yes some of their songs do have this 90s feel to it.. one of the many reasons I enjoy their music.💕💕 yes their discography is 👍
they're such babies in this one, it's crazy to see the difference when you look at them now! i think you'll also like no! which has some similar themes and an incredible dance break. they've had meaningful lyrics since even before their debut, back when they were trainees the rap line put out a song about toxic school culture and the way so many kids are mistreated.
when it comes to school funding in the us, one of the biggest problems is that the funding is tied to property tax, so areas with high property values have more money to give to the schools. it's one of the major ways that generational wealth gaps are perpetuated.
Let's go back to the very beginning. I am finding your videos enjoyable and informative. I am learning an awful lot here 💜
The rapping is off the chain in this song Suga💜, RM🐨💜, JK💜, for reeeeeal🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh yeah the one in the background was Jimin💜 he hit those high notes like damn🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
But their lyrics are amazing, my dream is to join the airforce after college.
You'd have to check with ARMY but I was under the impression that BTS was originally a Rap Group also with 7 members. When HItman Bang decided to make them into an Idol group, the other members dropped out leaving RM as the sole remaining member. Then the others were recruited. Suga, J-Hope (originally a vocalist who taught himself to rap so V could be a vocalist instead). And btw I still think this is a banger! They might have been young when they did this, but it's like they had foresight on what they wanted their vibe to be. I have a real soft spot for their earlier work.
1theK was BTS' videos original distributor when they started. If you want to see the earlier MVs with their english translation look for BTS' songs in the 1theK UA-cam channel 😉
You can always turn CC for better understanding 💜~
Thank you for your great reaction! BTS was supposed to debut as a hip hop group. Among the trainees for consideration under BTS' lineup are RM, Suga, Supreme Boi & Jhope. Jhope was recruited as a vocalist/dancer. He learned to rap from RM so he won't be out of place among the great rap trainees. But BigHit decided to change the concept to an IDOL group. Huge turnaround. RM, Supreme Boi stayed. Suga agreed to stay after he was scamed in the con of the century to stay (Bang PD, the boss of BigHit convinced Suga that he only need to rap & not do much dancing *hahahaha*). Anyway BigHit started recruiting more trainees. V was recruited as a rapper but after he got in, he confessed that he wanted to sing, so Jhope swopped position with him & continued his training in rap. Jin was recruited as Visual (a member with the most outstanding looksa good looks). Jungkook as rappervocalist & Jimin as vocalist/dancer. Supreme Boi quit soon after the team selection was made (the first BTS group photo feature 8 members) but stayed as a producer. BTS continued training with 7 members, did promo as 7 members & debuted as 7 members and as an IDOL group. RM & Suga received much hate for being in an idol group because they have to put on makeup & because the rap by idol groups are regarded as fake raps by the hip hop people. However many early sound of BTS is heavily influenced by hip hop, like this song (which in all honesty isn't pure hip hop). But not all their songs are hip hop heavy. If you go through their discography, their sound have been diverse right from the start. And BTS doesn't have an official visual position anymore. They grew up from nerdy teens into hot young men, all of them are now visuals 😅.
I’m actually happy that you went back to their first MVs
what can I say about my Jiminie beside his vocals even back then were amazing and TBH they haven't changed much, this song is such an amazing song and sometimes I find myself going back to this song and their older ones to just remind myself of how far they have come and of how much they have grown, my favourite bits must be Jung kook's rap (we need more of that in future songs) and the dance break bit when Jimin ran across the members backs. Also as someone already said even back then you couldn't ignore my Jiminie's vocals.
man if you wanna see their hip-hop/rnb influences, you could listen to hip hop phile/hip hop lover. rm learned from the old school rappers and i'm sure he shared his interests with the rest of bts. the vocals are also pretty chill.
And I forgot to mention in my earlier two comments: you can imagine that as the ‘big three’ kpop agencies controlled the media in essentially every aspect, a group like BTS rapping about young people going their own paths, fuck what the society and what the government wants... it’s what the ‘big three’ agencies would NOT want to be shown on TV, so they can keep putting out their own music and their own bands, so that the young people have less opportunity to hear BTS’ message, which means more kids stay in school, which is what the government want...
12:21 The most amazing things for me is they always give me surprise in their non-title songs of each album. And their albums are not bloated at all. There is no such song makes you feel the song is used to make up the number
. So if you have extra time, you can try to listen to a random albums especially the old albums. They've tried many new things in their albums so there must be some songs which are not your taste but you still feel they put many effort in it. For me, WINGS era is not quite for my taste, however, it is the most impressive album for me. Really really impressive.
Pre debut they were gonna be hip hop...They debuted as IDOLS
It makes me so happy that you are listening to the songs in order!
BTS has hits fr fr
Love your in depth reactions and your attention to detail. It warms up my heart to see new ARMYs really take the time to soak in their messages. Enjoy the journey. It's a blast! Also, quick note for the color coded lyrics, whenever one of the members sings / raps, their picture also lights up (not just their written name). So you can look at the picture as well to see who it is. Altho there are times when they're not 100% accurate but as a guideline it works
The word you’re looking for is “versatility”, and BTS is the most versatile group. Their music types span several genres and this is why we shouldn’t label them as Kpop. You nice keep going 💜💜
im mid-watching right now and yeah theyve definitely had meaningful lyrics since forever! actually even before debut. on their BANGTANTV channel one of their first videos is a song by RM about the importance of voting! theyve always been using their voice in the right way
BTS are true album artists with no skips. Their diversity & quality in their music from the very beginning is what makes them stand out. It's really worthwhile for any ARMY to go listen through all of their albums and read the translations. It's amazing to see their growth too, musically & lyrically as you go through eras. I'd like to recommend two introduction videos; Crash Course 2020 (warning: there's spoilers/snippets of many songs) and BTS's contribution to music. Also just note that color-coded videos aren't always accurate, so just use them as a rough guide to get the gist of the meaning. Thanks for the video and hope you're enjoying everything BTS! :)
BTS is all killer, no filler
BTS is versatile, inclusive and multicultural: universal. They address universal 'truths' in their lyrics in universal forms of music and visual arts. They hit home so often because of that. "This is speaking to me, loud and cleat" Yes...it is. Their lyrics are deep and meaningful to us, regardless of our age, color, gender preference, cultural background and what not... And even before their debut they hit hard ( check out 'SCHOOL OF TEARS' Jin, RM & Suga ) and remember Big Hit's slogan: "Music and Artist for Healing". Thank you for being so thorough about the lyrics (pause and go back if need to ;) ) Peace and love to you darling, Angie from México
Not all the members have been together 10 years. RM was shortly joined by Suga, so they've been together the longest. I'm not sure of the exact time, but J-Hope joined the trainees. I believe this was the time when the plan was still to be a hip-hop group. Then Hit-man Bang decided to make them an idol group. Then Jin and JK joined at the same time, followed by V. The last to join was Jimin - he was a trainee for a short period; I think he joined late 2012 or early 2013. I could research exact dates, but I need to go fix dinner.
Watching the old videos is like looking at their baby pictures :) There are videos of them watching some of these old videos and they are laughing so hard and in some cases screaming with embarrassment. I like seeing them change over the years, they all have so much talent and have worked so hard to be where they are now. Respect.
Yes they have written amazing lyrics from the beginning... i think it scared a lot of people...it still does.... I agree about schools... but we are older and have gone thru such a terrible ways of learning.... i am toddler silver army...lol these young men are just so talented and I feel they are a once in a generation phenomenon... and so humble..so aware and kind... they speak to me and the world problems... touching many people that can relate to what they have to Say!! I look forward to following your bts journey... i have hit and missed things..so will get more bts knowledge along with you
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR UR UPLOAD THESE DAYS
As a recommendation I would also react to their dance practices. Maybe you can react to a dance practice along with the yric videos if there's no official MV. Their dance practices are off the chain. Also check out Baepsae (Crow Tit/Silverspoon) there's no MV it is a dance practice.
I think the somebody with the biggest "thinking cap" on was RM with the backing of PD Bang and the quick support of the rest of the gang.
