Love that you’re honest about trying to appease people……THAT is generally what everybody thinks……”the hype must be bigger then the group”……then you actually hear and watch them…..Fuckin HOOKED! Welcome to the fandom🔥
The rapline are true students of hiphop. I grew up in the 90's, and of course I listened to old school hiphop and BTS have always paid homage and respect to the OG rappers and the culture.
I love your energy! If you want to see more rap songs from bts, i highly suggest Ugh! And Ddaeng (Also, if you'd like to see more of their versatility in music, consider checking out the bts room festa live, it's incredible!)
"Outro: Tear" at the Wembley stadium is one of their most iconic performances, but I think the lyrics is super important in this song, so if you're not used to reading the lyrics yet, I suggest wait a while. If you really, really want to know what they're saying (in addition to the translation already on the screen), please react to "Ddaeng" or "Ugh" or "Baepsae", followed by the explanation video by DKDKTV. All three are great, you won't go wrong with any of them. And the explanation videos are actually enjoyable to watch. For "Ddaeng", I suggest using the video from Hoseok Aesthetic. "Baepsae" from Bangtan's Corner". "Ugh" from Sissy Trios. Links in the reply.
The reactions feel genuine n kinda hilarious too, considering how blindsided you both feel liking BTS 😅 But if you think there has to be a very solid reason why a group of Korean men have successfully managed to capture the attention of the entire world. They HAVE to be something special , right ? Anyway, one small critique, please stop asking for entirely English raps from them. They are Korean n extremely talented KOREAN rappers. They intersperse English within their writing, especially RM ( who uses multi language to create wordplays, bars etc) but asking them to rap in English is akin to a Korean asking Eminem, J Cole, Nas etc to rap in Korean to fully appreciate them. It's not fair honestly. If you want to, please delve deeper into good translations (ARMY will help you find them) to really analyse n appreciate their lyricism. And of u are really into hip-hop it would anyhow be evident to you how good their cadence n flow is, merely by listening as well. So yes, please consider this💜 Have a great journey ahead.....
I was hesitant to say anything because I really like these guys, and want to watch them react to more BTS, but I head-tilted when they asked for raps in English. The point you made about American rappers mirrors my thoughts. 💜
@@andriaciel5468 I too was hesitant to say anything as well. I loved the surprise in their reaction, but agree that it is like expecting English speakers to put out their music in another language in other countries. I think if it's too hard to read the English lyrics, then they should pull up the lyrics before they listen to the song. I've seen other reactors either pause to read the lyrics on the screen, or do it before or after. Some like to hear the flow first. At any rate, love that they are giving the boys a chance. They should listen to the rappers solo stuff as they are into rap.
For the best translations - the lyric videos on YT are can be iffy as they often aren't accurate and there are a few of them that try and monetise off BTS/the label and that does not sit well with ARMY. Doolset Bangtan does brilliant lyric breakdowns and has such good explanations along with the lyric translations. If you are going to look into J-Hope's rap he can refer back to a previous song of his or theirs in many of his verses and Doolset is very good at picking up on those for the full context. Korean is an amazing language and direct translations to English can be difficult because of the complexity and wordplay that occurs. It's why so many of us are now attempting to learn Korean to better understand their lyricism.
All the rappers have mixtapes! RM - "RM" and "mono" Suga - "AgustD" and "D-2" J-Hope - "Hope World" J-Hope also has a solo album called "Jack In The Box"!
The way you guys are reacting is exactly how I was when I discovered them 4 years ago! I’m not huge on pop music so I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with their whole discography. Those guys can do any genre so well. Like other people have said, definitely check out J-Hope’s solo work to really get more of an idea of his style. But, also check out Suga’s (Agust D) and RM’s solo stuff, as well! Those three, also known as the rap-line, has some great songs together like Ddaeng, Ugh, Outro: Tear, and 4 cyphers. And, if you check out Ddaeng, make sure to watch an explained video because the lyricism/ wordplay is brilliant. Anyway, I like how genuine you guys are! Keep up the great reactions!
Jhope has done a lot of more melodic rap, I think part of that was he just likes the style and part of it is he likes to make music that moves the body (he was a dancer first). It's not from lack of talent that's for sure, his recent album proved that to everyone. When he get's into it, his flow switch ups are crazy and he's even better live cause he also has an amazing stage presence so you just can't help but feel hype and awed simultaneously. He headlined Lollapalooza and whoa. The setlist was kind of like a summary of him as an artist, it was super impressive.
"I don't know what is happening in my life right now." 🤣 I'm enjoying your reactions so much. I'm thinking you should check out 'Daechwita' by Agust D (Suga). The lyrics are awesome and his rap is amazing.
Something I love about jhope is that he's like a chamelion. He sings, raps, melodic raps, whatever his parts calls for. Even with his dancing, when he's with the group, he matches them despite being such an incredible dancer. He prioritizes quality over his ego and I admire that.
If I remember, I don’t think there’s a full song out there of the rapline fully rapping in English. I know RM has Change with Wale but the majority is English and Korean mixed together. Try Dis-ease next, it’s another bop. BTS only got hit after hit 😌😌
Getting sucked into BTS unintentionally is the story of my (and many others') life. lol... They just hit different. What can I tell ya. As you mentioned, they really are chameleons. They do all genres. So, there is something for everyone. Since you guys like rap, I would focus on their rapline songs first. Either as a group, or just the rappers, or solo songs. Group songs you might enjoy: Mic Drop, Dis-ease, Come Back Home Unit songs include: Outro Tear, Ddaeng, Ugh, Cyphers 1 - 4 The 3 rappers (RM, Suga, and J-Hope) all have solo material (mix-tapes or albums), so you must check those out. J-Hope just released an album called "Jack in the Box" and he headlined Lollapalooza this year (and was incredible). Once you a get a sense of what their capable of, you can go deeper with their other songs and genres. Oh, and live performances are a must!
TBH, now I prefer rapping in Korean, I think it sounds way harder in that language. There's just something about the syllabic combinations in that language that make it sound so much cooler than English..... One small point about this lyric video, no language translation can really capture both accuracy and essence of the original - but there's a legit error in this video....The last hook refrain sung by RM wasn't 'Run Bulletproof, Run, Yeah you gotta run' anymore, he sang 'Run Beautiful' instead. That has meaning to it, a purpose to their message, and I didn't want it to be lost on you I hope you guys can really get past your hang-ups about enjoying BTS' music. There's music snobs....and music fans. Fans give everything a listen and aren't afraid/ashamed to enjoy all kinds of musical genres and artists. Don't limit yourselves, or let the opinions of others limit you. This is one of BTS' core messages. Have no fear being yourselves! Live life fully! Run, Beautiful!
I totally agree with preferring listening to (actually all) their Korean songs over english. Listening to someone just talk in Korean isn't really appealing the same way, but when it's sung, it's so beautiful and like ear candy to me!
Hi, I am a CODA (my family is deaf) I'm fluent in ASL and you did good keep practicing its a great language & culture. Now I'll watch the reaction..lol.
Nice ASL, and love the BTS reactions! I’d highly recommend watching BTS’ outro: tear live performance if you want to see some insane, powerful rap. What stands out most about BTS is that they write all their music (apart from their few English songs). This is why their fans love them so much and what sets them apart from all other groups- they’re ARTISTS through and through, down to the lyricism.
Not true! RM has writing credits on Butter, so they even contributed to at least one English song.😉 But seriously, the rap line write all their own bars, so their names are in the credits for almost every song. The other members have credits here and there on quite a few songs as well. But they have a team of in-house writers, like their CEO Bang Si-hyuk, PDogg, Slow Rabbit, and Adora who contribute a lot. The person who is most often first in the songwriting credits (KOMCA lists in order of how much someone contributes) is PDogg. BTS call him the "8th Member". He is the sole producer for 100% of their 17 Korean language title tracks. Of the other 12 singles released, PDogg produced all of them except Make it Right, Dynamite, Butter, and PTD. For their official label releases, members of BTS have produced or helped produce 17 songs, almost all of the credits are Suga. BUT... There are over 100 self-released, unofficial songs over on Soundcloud, and the members produced almost all of them.
@@JoobieLoobieSoobie True that he has writing credits for Butter, but I believe it's only attributed to his rap parts, or some of the rap? Let's be real- it is NOT the same as his writing credits on Korean songs haha 😅 (where he's truly in the trenches writing it all!) Either way, no denying the talent of rapline's writing 👏
I think ya'll will really love their live performances. Outro Tear is just rap line Ugh is rap line Maybe check out the Festa Room Live, they performed snippets of songs from all their albums throughout the years. J-hope headlined Lalapalooza just recently. Yall should check out some of those performances. He did stuff off his new album this year and some of his old stuff from a previous solo album. Suga and RM's albums are great too! Suga aka Agust D has 2 solo albums. Both are fire 🔥 RM too, RM has total Vibes on his album as well Hope to see more of yalls reactions! So far I'm loving them, thank you! 💜
I suggest: Outro Tear, Live. So What, Live. Dis-ease, Live. Attack on Bangtan, Live. Dionysus, Live. Basically all BTS songs. They're all hella good 🤯💜🤩
Also, for j-hope and what he can do, please look at his lollapalooza performance (you don’t even need to react to it, but if you do, we all love long videos, I promise we watch them) to get a good measure of what he can do as a performer
At 4:18 I started laughing because I could see in your face that your brains were doing short-circuit. That realization that I’ve seen multiple times: “Where did this come from? This wasn’t supposed to be this good.” I was there once, and I’m so glad I found Bangtan, they are more special than you think. It gets better when you dive deeper and get to know the members themselves, who they are as people and their history. You’ll see people telling you about how they changed and saved lives… I am one of them. Listen to ARMY, they’ll guide you. 💜
I'm sure you didn't know about this so technically the lyrics says RUN BULLETPROOF RUN but if you notice the last lyrics was RUN BEAUTIFUL RUN meaning BTS wants ARMY'S to RUN with them together they never left us through the years of their journey that's why we love them so much and BTSxARMY will protect each other for the rest of our lives💪💜
"I went in trying to appease please" said every reaction youtuber ever lol you're already in too deep, no going back... good luck on your travel through BTS worm hole lol love your reactions!! thank you 😁💜💜
All the tracks on J-hope's new album are great, but Arson is my favorite. For an all english rap song, RM has a collab with Wale called Change that's really good.
Definitely look at DDaeng (with the DKDTV explanation), Cyphers 1-4 (number two is my fav, as it has RM rapping in English for a few bars, and Suga going the speed of light), and Outro: Tear live. This version has hard coded English subs already: ua-cam.com/video/UDuaJGYe8EQ/v-deo.html. I’m super excited to watch your BTS journey!
I love your bewildered faces when you get stunned at liking the song. Don't be afraid to like something because others are prejudiced and close minded ;). Also if you try to appease ARMY, we pick that out very quickly and stop watching. We want an honest reaction. If you don't like something, that's okay too. Their discography is incredibly vast with lots of different styles and you are in for a treat discovering Jimin's unique vocals. All of the vocal line are so different in their style and range, just like the rap line each have their own flavour. The group is so unique in the way that all 7 of them with all their different styles just manage to work together perfectly via contrast and complimentary sounds.
And trust me- BTS has the most DIVERSE fan base (people praise their concerts for having the most diverse turnout- genders, ages, nationalities). Search John Cena talking about BTS on the late show- he’s been army for years and LOVES talking about them, their rappers, etc.
Suga's part was 🔥🔥🔥 You guys should check out JHope's Arson😁 the whole album is really really cohesive tho. Give the whole thing a listen through (in tracklist order) if you ever get the chance. Mic Drop might be a good next one to check out as others have suggested, it's got a really cool MV too
Really enjoying your reactions. It’s hard to find genuine reactions these days but you guys are it! I think bafflement seems like the most appropriate when discovering BTS for the first time. They are so versatile and surprising and they never let you down with their music. Highly highly recommend you do Outro:Tear live performance next and you will discover JHope is no lightweight😉
This is how BTS sweeps into your life 🤣 I was a one of “those” type of rock lovers who hates anything that even seems remotely popular but here I am 3+ years into loving BTS 🤣🤣🤣 I fell in love during their map of the soul era it was the 1 - 2 punch of shadow, black swan, on kinetic manifesto & Daechwita. I never stood a chance & neither do you! Just enjoy the rabbit hole cuz it will be the best decision you ever make
First time seeing you guys. You’re just beginning to understand why we, ARMY, are 41M+ and how easy it is to fall into the rabbit hole (or Boraverse) that is BTS. It’s fun watching your reaction. You nice, keep going 💜
Their main channel has 70 million subscribers; their official insta account has over 60 mill and I haven't looked into their other social media recently. (still very amused that Jimin and Taehyung can't trend simply under their names as both were made into their own category/common word or whatever). Upper guesses are actually over 200 mill people from all over hte world and ages from baby to 90 year old grandpa as well as genre. It is so cool that they have 300 songs between them and are only barely over 9 years old.
YEAH!! You didn't expect that did you? I knew you guys would like Run BTS 😄 Your reaction is too funny! I could see the mental struggle there. You didn't wanna love it but couldn't help it. 😂 That's why we keep saying BTS is not your typical boy band. It's OK to like them, lots of dudes do. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
Suga's solo stuff under Agust D will have you so shook, lol. Agust D and Daechwita are musts to react to. RM's collab with Wale called Change has mostly english.
I love how flustered you got hearing this. This was me aswell. I had SO many friends into them that I was like, "Fine I'll check them out". But then funally going in I'm like, "WTH!!!"
I agree listen to the cyphers. But my recommendation is “Outro Tear” but you need to see the live video. It’s great quality and the lyrics displayed are really accurate. The passion shown in their live performance is something else. Love the reaction guys!!
Hi , yr reactions are amazing 🤩 If you want to know the members well please react to “the guide to bts members: the Bangtan 7” .. to know better about their personalities and journey This is list of some of their hip hop /rap songs :) mic drop ,fire, and baepsae (lyrics) by bts // UGH and outro tear by the rap line // solos-> agust d and deachwita by (suga aka agust d) // change (eng) , intro peesona and joke by RM // MORE ,arson,baseline by j-hope Actually RM the only one of the rappers who sang a song in English it’s RM and wale change
To get the full BTS experience you have to watch their live performances. They are amazing singers, rappers, dancers and all round energetic awesome performers
I think you're gonna get dissapointed if you're expecting them to rap in English. RM has a couple, but his Korean raps are way better. BTS are fiercely Korean, and they create the best in Korean.
im glad you checked this out! you’re barely scratching the surface of BTS’ masterpieces. if you’re into rap, then BTS has the best rappers in the planet. cant wait for you to discover their songs 💜
So has anyone told you about their cyphers yet? They have 4 cyphers, they span over many years ( since debut 2013 until 2016) and some fans say that run bts is somewhat cypher pt.5. If you really wanna enjoy the cyphers, you should be willing to read the lyrics and try to understand what they're saying, cz the savagery and the pure genuineness of their writing will blow your minds.
If you listened to bts without prejudice you will difinitely enjoy it, their songs are banger and the lyrics are very deep too. All of them write their own lyrics but the rapline are main producers & writers.
This is such a great song!! I definitely think you should check out ‘More’ or ‘Arson’ from J-hope’s new solo album. Both songs have a dark, grungy vibe and an MV if you prefer visuals over lyrics (there are English subs too if you’re interested). As others have mentioned, J-Hope headlined Lollapalooza recently and it was *amazing*. I wasn’t able to go live but the whole show was taped and put on BTS official UA-cam.
I know exactly how you guys feel. I remember loving their song DNA when I first heard it in 2017 and I got hooked onto their music at an alarming speed, before I knew it I was listening to all their albums and diving into other content they've released. Love your reactions so far!
🤣 Jimin does indeed have himself some pipes, one of the best vocalists out there imo and I definitely didn't like him when I first discovered BTS, he's the smallest and cutest member but conversely the most dangerously sexy when onstage... and his high voice will school you into what powerful music really is. My metal and hiphop loving heart didn't know what to make of it nor the genre bending craziness that is BTS but I'm purple for life now and LOVE this shit too. Same bros, same 🤣💜
BTS is different becuz they sing...rap...in mostly Korean...and yet the whole world can be drawn to it...relate to it albeit thru translations....they are just so relatable by being quintessentially korean 💜
You guys are new and I appreciate you taking the time to listen. You may have already realized this but generally the English translation of the lyrics is at the bottom of lyric videos. The top line is usually the lyrics in Korean characters (or symbols), the middle line is the romanticized Korean (shows you how to pronounce the words and great if you cannot read the characters), and the bottom line is the English. It can be very hard to keep up especially when the rappers come in but you might want to give it a shot during the song or maybe after you play it if that's easier. To your point in the last video, it can be tough to fully grasp the meaning as lyric videos usually focus on direct translation rather than providing additional context which is sometimes needed to understand the full meaning of their songs. That being said, some things are also kind of universal for good and for bad so I think you'd surprise yourself with how you might grasp certain vibes and emotions from songs without reading the translation.
Welcome! Thank you for setting aside any preconceived notions & giving BTS a chance. I am 69 years old and have followed these remarkable guys since 2016. I never got into American rap, but I love Korean rap. Go figure. Oh...I am American.
🤣 Just wait until you hear the Cypher series as well as the others listed here Ugh! Ddaeng, Outro Tear, RM Joke,.Suga’s aka Agust D Daechwita are all incredible.
You guys cute. In bottom of your heart i think you guys don't wanna love BTS.. but in reality you guys can't help grovin' at their song 😄💜 thankyou for reaction guys, BTS have so many rap song. Can't wait to see 🤗
Rap in English : CHANGE by RM x Wale, P. D. D. by RM x Warren G. RM also features in some English speaking artists' songs such as CHAMPION by Fall Out Boys and FANTASTIC for The Fantastic Four OST
This makes me SO happy. That is all.Y'all don't understand. These guys have a solid discography. They have a little of everything, but what they have a LOT of, are legit bops. I can't wait till you guys find out more. Dionysus, Ugh!, Bapsae, Black Swan, Outro:Tear, Attack on Bangtan, and so much more. Omg so much more.
I really hope you guys would dive into the lyrics tho,It's just a whole other experience that makes you enjoy the song even more and sometimes the lyrics can influence you to like a song over the other especially if it resonates with you! just like when we hear meaningful american rap, Cole, Kendrick, Em, Pac! Their lyrics are a part of the art that they create! Even tho it might be weird and difficult at first like many reactors who tried to listen to music in another language, you can learn and experience a whole new culture, a little peek into the life of someone from another side of the world. We can see our differences and similarities, which excites me! I'm glad that they opened my mind to it! Music is about connecting with each other as human beings.
BTS just did a live performance of this and would love to see you react to it! It has their live vocals plus an amazing dance routine. I know you guys would love it
Okay, Im back..Great freakin reaction. Every American that has been reacting to BTS seems to end up a fan..lol It doesn't matter that it's in Korean they are just amazing especially after reading the lyrics. Suga's speed is just sick and look on your faces were great. Mic Drop is always a fun one to react to. BTS live is awesome period. 💜✌
since rm is the only member fluent in english, he does have some songs that feature english verses. just not full songs. however Fall Out Boy has a song with RM called Champion which is an all english feature. you can check that out!
Hi guys! I really like the way you are getting pulled in :) I'm a 47 year-old army from Hungary, buy the way... I hardly can wait for you to check out J-Hope's solos, like More and Arson. I think BTS have so many fans because they are really versatile in style and themes too. Have a good time with BTS and army!!
BTS got something from every genre you want you'll find it all rap r&b jazz Latin pop and more you should react to their live rap medley you'll be blown up
Hey guys. Been enjoying your reactions to BTS. So BTS has a song called Mic Drop (Steve Aoki remix). RM raps in English on that track as well as their cover of P Diddy and Faith Evans’ “I’ll be missing you”. Even though Jhope and Suga rap in Korean with a few words/phrases in English, you will appreciate their rapping skills. React to their other tracks especially all 3 rappers mixtapes. Jhope released his solo album just in mid July. His solo album is very different from his mixtapes…but as always, everything BTS/members touch turns gold. PS welcome to the BTS rabbit hole…you’re gonna 💜 it!
Welcome to the ARMY! Have fun going down the rabbit hole. ARMY will be happy to be your tour guide anytime!! You are in for an amazing ride! I am 57 and have not yet found a song in their hundreds that I don’t love! 💜
This song is all jimin and Yoongi (suga) to me, their parts are just so good! If you’re looking for rap in English I’m sorry to say you’ll be a bit disappointed, only rm is fluent in English and even his rapping in English isn’t mind blowing or anything. They are amazing writers, all 3 of them, but in their language, which is understandable. Maybe you can try to read a bit more of their lyrics as you listen so you’ll get an idea? Imma join everyone else in recommending rap line songs, in order of what I think you’ll like best: ddaeng, ugh, outro:tear, cypher part 2. The channel Enjoy BTS More has a lot of he live performances with subtitles and they are incredible live so you might like to check that out
"If you will listen to our songs without prejudice, you will like it"
- SUGA
Trying to compare the rap line is like comparing apples to oranges to pineapples. They're all completely different but equally delicious 🤣
well said

The reactions feel genuine n kinda hilarious too, considering how blindsided you both feel liking BTS 😅
But if you think there has to be a very solid reason why a group of Korean men have successfully managed to capture the attention of the entire world. They HAVE to be something special , right ?
Anyway, one small critique, please stop asking for entirely English raps from them. They are Korean n extremely talented KOREAN rappers. They intersperse English within their writing, especially RM ( who uses multi language to create wordplays, bars etc) but asking them to rap in English is akin to a Korean asking Eminem, J Cole, Nas etc to rap in Korean to fully appreciate them.

Idk whether they think BTS are more fluent in English than they are. Perhaps an introduction video would help them understand
4:22 the moment they fell into the bts rabbit hole. I can’t stop laughing because that was soooo me many years ago 😂😂
I was lol so hard… their journey just started lol
The moment he said he don't know what's happening 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was laughing and just tickled hahahaha. It's so fun to see people just blindsided by a good song
All the rappers have mixtapes!
RM - "RM" and "mono"
Suga - "AgustD" and "D-2"
J-Hope - "Hope World"
J-Hope also has a solo album called "Jack In The Box"!
The way you guys are reacting is exactly how I was when I discovered them 4 years ago! I’m not huge on pop music so I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with their whole discography.

Definitely Ddaeng
3:00 the way Jimin says GASOLINE will forever be my religion and the reason to wake up in the morning. he's such a good singer bro...

"I don't know what is happening in my life right now." 🤣 I'm enjoying your reactions so much. I'm thinking you should check out 'Daechwita' by Agust D (Suga). The lyrics are awesome and his rap is amazing.
😂 I think we all had that reaction when we first discovered them. Daechwita 💯agree !
Something I love about jhope is that he's like a chamelion. He sings, raps, melodic raps, whatever his parts calls for. Even with his dancing, when he's with the group, he matches them despite being such an incredible dancer. He prioritizes quality over his ego and I admire that.
If I remember, I don’t think there’s a full song out there of the rapline fully rapping in English. I know RM has Change with Wale but the majority is English and Korean mixed together. Try Dis-ease next, it’s another bop. BTS only got hit after hit 😌😌
Yeah you right rm and wale - change is worth to watch
Mic Drop (Steve Aoki remix) has RM rap in English.
Champion by fallout boy ft. RM
RM mono has song with full english like tokyo. Moonchild first verse is all english.
Getting sucked into BTS unintentionally is the story of my (and many others') life. lol... They just hit different. What can I tell ya. As you mentioned, they really are chameleons. They do all genres. So, there is something for everyone.
Since you guys like rap, I would focus on their rapline songs first. Either as a group, or just the rappers, or solo songs.
Group songs you might enjoy: Mic Drop, Dis-ease, Come Back Home
Unit songs include: Outro Tear, Ddaeng, Ugh, Cyphers 1 - 4
The 3 rappers (RM, Suga, and J-Hope) all have solo material (mix-tapes or albums), so you must check those out. J-Hope just released an album called "Jack in the Box" and he headlined Lollapalooza this year (and was incredible).
Once you a get a sense of what their capable of, you can go deeper with their other songs and genres.
Oh, and live performances are a must!
Mic Drop is where you’ll hear RM mainly rap in English. You should definitely react to that very soon.
Change ft.wale and fall out boys champion remix ft.RM
RM also wraps a verse in english in the song Heartbeat
@@indiralusthoff4294 I love that song. It is soooo underrated.
TBH, now I prefer rapping in Korean, I think it sounds way harder in that language. There's just something about the syllabic combinations in that language that make it sound so much cooler than English..... One small point about this lyric video, no language translation can really capture both accuracy and essence of the original - but there's a legit error in this video....The last hook refrain sung by RM wasn't 'Run Bulletproof, Run, Yeah you gotta run' anymore, he sang 'Run Beautiful' instead. That has meaning to it, a purpose to their message, and I didn't want it to be lost on you
I hope you guys can really get past your hang-ups about enjoying BTS' music. There's music snobs....and music fans. Fans give everything a listen and aren't afraid/ashamed to enjoy all kinds of musical genres and artists. Don't limit yourselves, or let the opinions of others limit you. This is one of BTS' core messages. Have no fear being yourselves! Live life fully! Run, Beautiful!
I love ur last paragraph!!
I totally agree with preferring listening to (actually all) their Korean songs over english. Listening to someone just talk in Korean isn't really appealing the same way, but when it's sung, it's so beautiful and like ear candy to me!
The ending was great 😉
Hi, I am a CODA (my family is deaf) I'm fluent in ASL and you did good keep practicing its a great language & culture. Now I'll watch the reaction..lol.
J Hope Jack in the box is art !! Baseline Hangsang, ARSON, More 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice ASL, and love the BTS reactions! I’d highly recommend watching BTS’ outro: tear live performance if you want to see some insane, powerful rap. What stands out most about BTS is that they write all their music (apart from their few English songs). This is why their fans love them so much and what sets them apart from all other groups- they’re ARTISTS through and through, down to the lyricism.
Not true! RM has writing credits on Butter, so they even contributed to at least one English song.😉
But seriously, the rap line write all their own bars, so their names are in the credits for almost every song. The other members have credits here and there on quite a few songs as well. But they have a team of in-house writers, like their CEO Bang Si-hyuk, PDogg, Slow Rabbit, and Adora who contribute a lot.
The person who is most often first in the songwriting credits (KOMCA lists in order of how much someone contributes) is PDogg. BTS call him the "8th Member". He is the sole producer for 100% of their 17 Korean language title tracks. Of the other 12 singles released, PDogg produced all of them except Make it Right, Dynamite, Butter, and PTD.
For their official label releases, members of BTS have produced or helped produce 17 songs, almost all of the credits are Suga. BUT... There are over 100 self-released, unofficial songs over on Soundcloud, and the members produced almost all of them.
@@JoobieLoobieSoobie True that he has writing credits for Butter, but I believe it's only attributed to his rap parts, or some of the rap? Let's be real- it is NOT the same as his writing credits on Korean songs haha 😅 (where he's truly in the trenches writing it all!) Either way, no denying the talent of rapline's writing 👏
I think ya'll will really love their live performances.
Outro Tear is just rap line
Ugh is rap line
Maybe check out the Festa Room Live, they performed snippets of songs from all their albums throughout the years.
J-hope headlined Lalapalooza just recently. Yall should check out some of those performances. He did stuff off his new album this year and some of his old stuff from a previous solo album.
Suga and RM's albums are great too!
Suga aka Agust D has 2 solo albums. Both are fire 🔥
RM too, RM has total Vibes on his album as well
Hope to see more of yalls reactions! So far I'm loving them, thank you! 💜
💜
I suggest: Outro Tear, Live. So What, Live. Dis-ease, Live. Attack on Bangtan, Live. Dionysus, Live.
Basically all BTS songs. They're all hella good 🤯💜🤩
Also, for j-hope and what he can do, please look at his lollapalooza performance (you don’t even need to react to it, but if you do, we all love long videos, I promise we watch them) to get a good measure of what he can do as a performer
Strongly agree with you. We would love to watch it again with them and see their reaction. Hope they will react to it 🙏
At 4:18 I started laughing because I could see in your face that your brains were doing short-circuit. That realization that I’ve seen multiple times: “Where did this come from? This wasn’t supposed to be this good.” I was there once, and I’m so glad I found Bangtan, they are more special than you think. It gets better when you dive deeper and get to know the members themselves, who they are as people and their history.
You’ll see people telling you about how they changed and saved lives… I am one of them.
Listen to ARMY, they’ll guide you. 💜
The live version of this is spectacular.
Jin’s vocals and high notes are so outstanding and powerful ❣️. Jin’s high notes towards the end of run bts song are so amazing and strong.
I'm sure you didn't know about this so technically the lyrics says RUN BULLETPROOF RUN but if you notice the last lyrics was RUN BEAUTIFUL RUN meaning BTS wants ARMY'S to RUN with them together they never left us through the years of their journey that's why we love them so much and BTSxARMY will protect each other for the rest of our lives💪💜
"I went in trying to appease please" said every reaction youtuber ever lol you're already in too deep, no going back... good luck on your travel through BTS worm hole lol love your reactions!! thank you 😁💜💜
All the tracks on J-hope's new album are great, but Arson is my favorite. For an all english rap song, RM has a collab with Wale called Change that's really good.
Definitely look at DDaeng (with the DKDTV explanation), Cyphers 1-4 (number two is my fav, as it has RM rapping in English for a few bars, and Suga going the speed of light), and Outro: Tear live. This version has hard coded English subs already: ua-cam.com/video/UDuaJGYe8EQ/v-deo.html. I’m super excited to watch your BTS journey!
this!! ddaeng is such a perfect song to react!!
These are great recs. Def go with these!
And the explanation vid with Ddaeng is a must. I think these will blow you mind.
Suga verse came and I was like breathe yoongi breathe breathe in cypher pt2
@@asilaman The man has superhero lungs.
"I don't know what is happening in my life right now..." 🤣 dude, welcome to BTS 💜
I love your bewildered faces when you get stunned at liking the song. Don't be afraid to like something because others are prejudiced and close minded ;). Also if you try to appease ARMY, we pick that out very quickly and stop watching. We want an honest reaction. If you don't like something, that's okay too.
Their discography is incredibly vast with lots of different styles and you are in for a treat discovering Jimin's unique vocals. All of the vocal line are so different in their style and range, just like the rap line each have their own flavour. The group is so unique in the way that all 7 of them with all their different styles just manage to work together perfectly via contrast and complimentary sounds.
I love watching Americans break their prejudices and start enjoying music as they watch BTS. Welcome fellas
And trust me- BTS has the most DIVERSE fan base (people praise their concerts for having the most diverse turnout- genders, ages, nationalities). Search John Cena talking about BTS on the late show- he’s been army for years and LOVES talking about them, their rappers, etc.
Suga's part was 🔥🔥🔥
You guys should check out JHope's Arson😁 the whole album is really really cohesive tho. Give the whole thing a listen through (in tracklist order) if you ever get the chance. Mic Drop might be a good next one to check out as others have suggested, it's got a really cool MV too
Really enjoying your reactions. It’s hard to find genuine reactions these days but you guys are it! I think bafflement seems like the most appropriate when discovering BTS for the first time. They are so versatile and surprising and they never let you down with their music. Highly highly recommend you do Outro:Tear live performance next and you will discover JHope is no lightweight😉
"Bafflement" sounds about right.
How beautiful it would be if the world has more open-minded people, like these guys @1-2 many reactions. 💜
This is how BTS sweeps into your life 🤣 I was a one of “those” type of rock lovers who hates anything that even seems remotely popular but here I am 3+ years into loving BTS 🤣🤣🤣 I fell in love during their map of the soul era it was the 1 - 2 punch of shadow, black swan, on kinetic manifesto & Daechwita. I never stood a chance & neither do you! Just enjoy the rabbit hole cuz it will be the best decision you ever make
First time seeing you guys. You’re just beginning to understand why we, ARMY, are 41M+ and how easy it is to fall into the rabbit hole (or Boraverse) that is BTS. It’s fun watching your reaction. You nice, keep going 💜
Their main channel has 70 million subscribers; their official insta account has over 60 mill and I haven't looked into their other social media recently. (still very amused that Jimin and Taehyung can't trend simply under their names as both were made into their own category/common word or whatever). Upper guesses are actually over 200 mill people from all over hte world and ages from baby to 90 year old grandpa as well as genre. It is so cool that they have 300 songs between them and are only barely over 9 years old.
RUN BTS CHOREOGRAPHY IS AMAZING!! hope you have time to watch it 💜
they have a song called "hip hop phile" were they basically name drop all the rappers who inspired them, its pretty cool
YEAH!! You didn't expect that did you? I knew you guys would like Run BTS 😄 Your reaction is too funny! I could see the mental struggle there. You didn't wanna love it but couldn't help it. 😂 That's why we keep saying BTS is not your typical boy band. It's OK to like them, lots of dudes do. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
I also learned sign language but here in Mexico, thanks for reacting to BTS 🤟🏼
BTS CYPHER 2 there RM raps a verse in English completely
Suga's solo stuff under Agust D will have you so shook, lol. Agust D and Daechwita are musts to react to. RM's collab with Wale called Change has mostly english.
Welcome to BTS' rabbit hole guys!!! 💜💜💜
4:14 the exact moment the army seed planted on his soul. the realization the awakening 🤌🤣
Ugh is going to blow your mindss
A must try. Live performance of Outro Tear. You'd be loving it instantly👍
I love how flustered you got hearing this. This was me aswell. I had SO many friends into them that I was like, "Fine I'll check them out". But then funally going in I'm like, "WTH!!!"
I agree listen to the cyphers. But my recommendation is “Outro Tear” but you need to see the live video. It’s great quality and the lyrics displayed are really accurate. The passion shown in their live performance is something else. Love the reaction guys!!
Jin is amazing voice
Hi , yr reactions are amazing 🤩
If you want to know the members well please react to “the guide to bts members: the Bangtan 7” .. to know better about their personalities and journey
This is list of some of their hip hop /rap songs :)
mic drop ,fire, and baepsae (lyrics) by bts // UGH and outro tear by the rap line // solos-> agust d and deachwita by (suga aka agust d) // change (eng) , intro peesona and joke by RM // MORE ,arson,baseline by j-hope
Actually RM the only one of the rappers who sang a song in English it’s RM and wale change
Yes, please react to wale and rm "change".
He also rapped a verse In English for their Ill be Missing You cover.
And he rapped in english in a verse in Heartbeat
This makes me happy 😊😁🤩
Jimin's vocal is such amazing 💜
Cypher 1-4 and hiphop lover for their back story
To get the full BTS experience you have to watch their live performances. They are amazing singers, rappers, dancers and all round energetic awesome performers
YES WHEN YALL MENTIONED TECH!! HE ACTUALLY SHOUTED THEM OUT ON TWITTER BACK IN 2019!!!
I think you're gonna get dissapointed if you're expecting them to rap in English. RM has a couple, but his Korean raps are way better. BTS are fiercely Korean, and they create the best in Korean.
im glad you checked this out! you’re barely scratching the surface of BTS’ masterpieces. if you’re into rap, then BTS has the best rappers in the planet. cant wait for you to discover their songs 💜
So has anyone told you about their cyphers yet?
They have 4 cyphers, they span over many years ( since debut 2013 until 2016) and some fans say that run bts is somewhat cypher pt.5.
If you really wanna enjoy the cyphers, you should be willing to read the lyrics and try to understand what they're saying, cz the savagery and the pure genuineness of their writing will blow your minds.
Most people react to BTS knowing the fan base will grow their channel and then they fall in love with dozens of their songs 🤣
Love your reactions, I feel as if I'm reliving discovering BTS all over again. BORAHEA 💜
They are literally magnets. There's no way you would react to them and not fall in love!
If you listened to bts without prejudice you will difinitely enjoy it, their songs are banger and the lyrics are very deep too. All of them write their own lyrics but the rapline are main producers & writers.
Yes
This is such a great song!! I definitely think you should check out ‘More’ or ‘Arson’ from J-hope’s new solo album. Both songs have a dark, grungy vibe and an MV if you prefer visuals over lyrics (there are English subs too if you’re interested). As others have mentioned, J-Hope headlined Lollapalooza recently and it was *amazing*. I wasn’t able to go live but the whole show was taped and put on BTS official UA-cam.
You guys would LOVEEEE Outro Tear….shit go crazy
Please do more of BTS. Your audience clearly wants it (views on the BTS reactions are more) Watch the introduction to BTS too
Sometimes, especially during this song I think of the name "Bulletproof" and it means so much
I know exactly how you guys feel. I remember loving their song DNA when I first heard it in 2017 and I got hooked onto their music at an alarming speed, before I knew it I was listening to all their albums and diving into other content they've released. Love your reactions so far!
I love watching you guys spiral down the BTS rabbit hole. You've got to watch them live and their dance practices. You will fall for them even more.
Welcome to the rabbit hole… J-hope did an amazing job at Lollapalooza - especially his song Hangsang was brilliant. Love from Berlin 💜
I loved your reaction! Thank you for choosing to listen to our boys!
🤣 Jimin does indeed have himself some pipes, one of the best vocalists out there imo and I definitely didn't like him when I first discovered BTS, he's the smallest and cutest member but conversely the most dangerously sexy when onstage... and his high voice will school you into what powerful music really is. My metal and hiphop loving heart didn't know what to make of it nor the genre bending craziness that is BTS but I'm purple for life now and LOVE this shit too. Same bros, same 🤣💜
BTS is different becuz they sing...rap...in mostly Korean...and yet the whole world can be drawn to it...relate to it albeit thru translations....they are just so relatable by being quintessentially korean 💜
You guys are new and I appreciate you taking the time to listen. You may have already realized this but generally the English translation of the lyrics is at the bottom of lyric videos. The top line is usually the lyrics in Korean characters (or symbols), the middle line is the romanticized Korean (shows you how to pronounce the words and great if you cannot read the characters), and the bottom line is the English. It can be very hard to keep up especially when the rappers come in but you might want to give it a shot during the song or maybe after you play it if that's easier.
To your point in the last video, it can be tough to fully grasp the meaning as lyric videos usually focus on direct translation rather than providing additional context which is sometimes needed to understand the full meaning of their songs. That being said, some things are also kind of universal for good and for bad so I think you'd surprise yourself with how you might grasp certain vibes and emotions from songs without reading the translation.
Welcome! Thank you for setting aside any preconceived notions & giving BTS a chance. I am 69 years old and have followed these remarkable guys since 2016. I never got into American rap, but I love Korean rap. Go figure. Oh...I am American.
🤣 Just wait until you hear the Cypher series as well as the others listed here Ugh! Ddaeng, Outro Tear, RM Joke,.Suga’s aka Agust D Daechwita are all incredible.
You guys cute. In bottom of your heart i think you guys don't wanna love BTS.. but in reality you guys can't help grovin' at their song 😄💜 thankyou for reaction guys, BTS have so many rap song. Can't wait to see 🤗
Rap in English : CHANGE by RM x Wale, P. D. D. by RM x Warren G. RM also features in some English speaking artists' songs such as CHAMPION by Fall Out Boys and FANTASTIC for The Fantastic Four OST
Change and Champion RM raps fully in English but Fantastic is Korean and English.
@@cnot4948 upps. sori. Yes, you are right.
Note : Fantastic is not purely in English.
This makes me SO happy. That is all.Y'all don't understand. These guys have a solid discography. They have a little of everything, but what they have a LOT of, are legit bops. I can't wait till you guys find out more. Dionysus, Ugh!, Bapsae, Black Swan, Outro:Tear, Attack on Bangtan, and so much more. Omg so much more.
I really hope you guys would dive into the lyrics tho,It's just a whole other experience that makes you enjoy the song even more and sometimes the lyrics can influence you to like a song over the other especially if it resonates with you! just like when we hear meaningful american rap, Cole, Kendrick, Em, Pac! Their lyrics are a part of the art that they create!
Even tho it might be weird and difficult at first like many reactors who tried to listen to music in another language, you can learn and experience a whole new culture, a little peek into the life of someone from another side of the world. We can see our differences and similarities, which excites me! I'm glad that they opened my mind to it! Music is about connecting with each other as human beings.
BTS just did a live performance of this and would love to see you react to it! It has their live vocals plus an amazing dance routine. I know you guys would love it
Okay, Im back..Great freakin reaction. Every American that has been reacting to BTS seems to end up a fan..lol It doesn't matter that it's in Korean they are just amazing especially after reading the lyrics. Suga's speed is just sick and look on your faces were great. Mic Drop is always a fun one to react to. BTS live is awesome period. 💜✌
since rm is the only member fluent in english, he does have some songs that feature english verses. just not full songs. however Fall Out Boy has a song with RM called Champion which is an all english feature. you can check that out!
Hi guys! I really like the way you are getting pulled in :) I'm a 47 year-old army from Hungary, buy the way... I hardly can wait for you to check out J-Hope's solos, like More and Arson. I think BTS have so many fans because they are really versatile in style and themes too. Have a good time with BTS and army!!
BTS got something from every genre you want you'll find it all rap r&b jazz Latin pop and more you should react to their live rap medley you'll be blown up
Hey guys. Been enjoying your reactions to BTS. So BTS has a song called Mic Drop (Steve Aoki remix). RM raps in English on that track as well as their cover of P Diddy and Faith Evans’ “I’ll be missing you”.
Even though Jhope and Suga rap in Korean with a few words/phrases in English, you will appreciate their rapping skills. React to their other tracks especially all 3 rappers mixtapes. Jhope released his solo album just in mid July. His solo album is very different from his mixtapes…but as always, everything BTS/members touch turns gold.
PS welcome to the BTS rabbit hole…you’re gonna 💜 it!
Welcome to the ARMY! Have fun going down the rabbit hole. ARMY will be happy to be your tour guide anytime!! You are in for an amazing ride! I am 57 and have not yet found a song in their hundreds that I don’t love! 💜
Suga has Daechwita. It is Aaaaamaaazing!
Jhope?? Listen to Hangsang
But for three rappers, it has to be Outro: Tear
Oooppps gotta add ugh and ddaeng for the three rapper songs
Outro Tear at the Wembley stadium live is a must to check out ;)
Bienvenidos al mundo de BTS ya no tendrán vuelta atrás después de esto 💜💜💜💜💜💜
"HIP-HOP LOVER" is one of the songs from bts that I think you guys should definetly check out!!!
BTS 😍😍😍. Eles são os melhores.
🙋🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This is just a candy bro a big bts cake is waiting for you both 🤣💜
Please watch their live performances 💜
Thanks for checking the guys out and for your honest reactions!
This song is all jimin and Yoongi (suga) to me, their parts are just so good! If you’re looking for rap in English I’m sorry to say you’ll be a bit disappointed, only rm is fluent in English and even his rapping in English isn’t mind blowing or anything. They are amazing writers, all 3 of them, but in their language, which is understandable. Maybe you can try to read a bit more of their lyrics as you listen so you’ll get an idea?
Imma join everyone else in recommending rap line songs, in order of what I think you’ll like best: ddaeng, ugh, outro:tear, cypher part 2. The channel Enjoy BTS More has a lot of he live performances with subtitles and they are incredible live so you might like to check that out
And their live shows are also worth watching.
