Thank you!
She did great job!! This is touching! 💖💖💖💖💖. He helps to realise that everyone, there are no rejected people but everyone can enjoy BTS. That's a divine job! Be blessed! 💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you for sharing her channel!
Thank you fucking much! I love you for showing me that there is in fact a sign language interpreter. I too am a sign language interpreter and a hard of hearing person. So I was extremely touched at the hearing impaired culture. Like damn I wanna meet you! I am so glad I stumbled on this video! I even subscribed to her channel! Bye gonna go and check her signs out! I purple you so much! 😊
BTS and their building of all these bridges makes me so proud to call myself ARMY
All self-respecting artists, have interpreters at their concerts, Eminem uses them, even for his "fast" songs like Rap GoD
Other idols also have interpreters at their concerts
Yeah true, most artists have an interpreter. It’s pretty cool to know BTS also has one too though 👌
xRaptorScreamx but op isn’t saying no one is doing this though.
Christina Nomee frrr
Bruh, just imagine her hands having to interpret the raps too:0
scReEEEeEeeeEeeEEee is that yoongi as your pfp??
@@felix.mp3639 lol yeah😂
She doesnt. Its mainly for when they are talking to the audience. Besides no one would be interested in that when they are performing they would rather see bts perform, understandably
@@sofiabruiz17 Then why did she learn 11 songs if they weren't translated....
@@ficread5370 maybe she wanted to have a general idea of what the songs talked about. No one in their right mind goes to a concert just to spend it looking at a translator
She is living my dream! I studied ASL interpreting and it makes me so happy that Big Hit had interpreters at BTS's concert 🥰🥰🥰
Samantha Hom Oh, I thought she said some Army worked it out for a small portion of Army who had hear imperfection? Did I missread the meaning?
@@rvermillion8188 No she said ARMY helped with the preparation. I interpreted one of BTS songs for school and ARMY really helps with finding the true message of each song. If you'd like I can go into detail about how Big Hit went about hiring the interpreters or at least how they would go about it in the US.
Samantha Hom Oh wow, really? BH did that? Please inform me more, because I'm so curious. You see, do you have to constantly look at the interpreter , or look at the stage? It must feel like watching subs or watching the performance.. I surely cannot do both at the same time, especially when it's about them, all of them is mesmerizing.
@@rvermillion8188 In the US for an event like a concert normally it's the deaf person who notifies the company that they will be attending the event. I believe this was the case here being the interpreters where only there for day one and not both days. Then the company reaches out to a interpreting company or individual to work for them; I believe that Big Hit hired a freelance interpreter. I'm really impressed that they asked for two interpreters to work the show. In the US if you have an interpreter working for more than an hour you must have two present and normally for a concert as big as BTS they would have sent three.
As far as watching the interpreters or the stage that is up to the person. I had a professor who did concert interpreting and she said some people would look at the stage while performing because they knew the song but would look to her when the artist were talking. Like she described, interpreters sit with thier backs to the stage so you can see them and the stage at the same time.
I hope that answers your question. Please let me know if I missed anything or if you have any more questions.
Hi Stephanie! You said you studied interpreting, have you started working yet? I’m an ASL interpreter - nice to meet you. 😀
i'm so shocked that there's a BTS sign language interpreter, i never knew there was one. also i'm more shocked on how pretty she is.
She's not an official bts sign language interpreter lol she's just an interpreter who got asked to work at bts' concert
@@Loriani93 BUT still is AMAZINGGG
Beauty is not everything
But...
Compliments make people's lives brighter
Edit:did not mean to be rude
This is what I meant
😓😀
@@jiminsmuffins2844 totally true...thats why she stated "Shock bc she is pretty" Just giving her a compliment!
@@Loriani93 did i ever say shes an official BTS sign language interpreter. No
When she said she could see the sparkling eyes of the people while she was translating i cryed...she really embraced bts's "speak yourself" slogan for all of them💜💜💜💜💜💜 im so happy
Marica Baldassarra Same, that part was so powerful
BigHit thinking about hearing impaired people was beyond amazing! Respect!
ARMY asked BigHit for an interpreter and they listened 😇
Still missing the language ones
Other artists also have sign language interpreters, I know for sure Eminem has one
Not hearing impaired, just call us deaf people or hard of hearing please and thanks
This is so beautiful and made me cry because I know how much that probably meant for those with hearing loss. Thank you for providing this service and thank you to ARMY for championing for an interpreter to be provided.💜
I'm I keep seeing n noticed she said the army did/help with the concert etc. Why would they have the Korean army getting involved? I don't mean to be dumb but I'm confused? Tnk u for any help 🙂
She is responsible for her job and she didn't even got the look of BTS before the show ended
You have done a great job
That's what professionals do. Think of the audience's need, not her own wish. 👍
Ohhh that’s cute she does a lot of work!
I was so touched by how a fan went up to her and asked if she can go next time. My eyes are crying.
OMG she worked really hard. I’m so happy to hear that they touched her with their reactions. FIGHTING💜
I'm feeling tears well up in my eyes. I learned sign language as a child and my mother worked with people who had hearing problems and stuff so she learned it too. When bts and big hit do little things like this to create more diversity and inclusivity in their fandom know I'm watching them start quiet revolutions. They're opening up not just their music and concerts but also Armys hearts to be more inclusive and caring of people who speak different languages and live different kinds of lives.
Honestly, I want to study sign language and I wouldn’t even be able to do it even if I was really good at it. This lady honestly put so much work into this i am proud of her 💜💜
Amazing interview. The sign language interpretors worked so, so hard and the amount of passion they delivered is just beautiful to see. These kinds of people are heroes, true heroes.
Wow her facial expression is what amazes me the most!! She’s so good at expressing the songs!!! Thank you for being the interpreter!!!
"Ok, let's eat chicken wings and fly!"
LOL
I love her already!
The way she talks calmly and said how it moved her heart. I'm touched too. We need to protect this person😭😭😭
Thank you so much for this short documentary!!! This is a video that i never knew i needed! Am i the only one crying to this video seeing how different people are interacting and embracing BTS messages??? It's sooo beautiful!!! Thank you!
You're not alone😭😭💜 this made me cry 😭😭
I didn't cry 😭😭😭😭
That's hard work and dedication paid off ✨💜
In any signing of a song, at least what I’ve learned from ASL you don’t just translate the words to sign you have to actually go into the song and it’s meaning and then translate the meaning but with sign.
It’s been a long time, if I am not mistaken, since exactly this style and form of the video, music and all, was last used. :) Goes perfectly with story as this.
She leaves an exceptionally positive impression. Believes intensely in what she does and does it with such passion and excitement. That's truly commendable. I’m also majorly impressed and fascinated it’s possible for a sign language interpreter to interpret even a concert, synchronously, in real-time, the whole time of the concert. That must be so very demanding! And even though one week was all she got, she made it to analyze and prepare everything she could. Just the fact such interpreter was arranged for the event of this type is impressive by itself. They appointed the right person. First part of her master’s thesis title “Expansion of Cultural Accessibility for People with Hearing Loss” maybe speaks of her intuition too. She wrote about something and soon after was called to participate and turned it into reality in a place she probably could've never imagined - a concert. Isn't that amazing.
This story is so touching! This is why I am ARMY...we want to make sure EVERYONE is able to enjoy the message & performance that our boys put out there!🤗 We 💜 both of the sign language interpreters who helped out our fellow ARMYs that day! 정말 감사합니다!💜💜
~~Proud ARMY~~
*“Wings.... I love chicken wings.”*
Joonie meant by every small thing is important to BTS & ARMY!! Nothing is small to us!! We help each other to overcome barrier. Even just for a small group of people. They deserved their rights to enjoy music!! Thanks for your hardwork!! You are beautiful inside out
💜👍👏. Thanks Koreanow for this wonderful interview!! 💜
손목아대 하시는 부분에서 넘 감동이었어요..비티에스가 그렇게 다른 레벨 그룹이지요..아미를 변화시키고 작은 변화가 큰 흐름을 이끌어내는....농인분들도 함께 문화생활폭 넓어지는 계기가 되기를..넘 고생많으셨지요..
I love how she can feel the rewarding feeling of giving joy to people because she is delivering BTS's voice. I love that bighit set this up
Thank you Korean Now for making this video! It is so wonderful to see sign language being represented in a positive light! Thank you Son Satang for pursuing sign language as a career and also providing your service for those at the BTS concert in Seoul 💜💜💜
Everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy a BTS or any concert. She and the other person were heaven sent!!!!
She’s amazing! Sign language is not easy. I know as I’m learning ASL. So kudos to you!
5:48-5:58 I'm not gonna lie but my tears drop when she say that. I feel proud as an ARMY 🥰
"IS THIS THE LOVE?!" Yes it is.
thank you for your hardwork, BTS and ARMYS are so proud of you 💜
OMG! This is so amazing..she did great.. 👍👍👍 the fact that big hit hired a sign language interpreter for a concert just mind blowing 🤯
She's so amazing, this is not an easy thing to do, but she's and her friend did really well.. thank you so much for your help!!💜
I mean, I've never heard of American singers/bands having a *_SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETER_* at a whole concert, here's our BTS outshining the american musicians as well! 💜
Why do you feel the need to bring down others... it's relatively common, you can even watch videos about interpreters who specialize in trying to do songs. It's interesting. You probably just didnt notice as people dont notice the little things in place for those of us with disabilities.
@@MinttMeringue I never meant to offend anyone, i was just stating that (even if other musicians do this on their own expense), it's not very public or they dont even promote it as such.
No offense made to anyone 🙂
It's actually a policy in America to have a sign language interpreter at concerts for the hearing impaired once they've been notified that some will be in attendance, so your comment was made out of ignorance. Many American artists actually have them. I guess it's also why BTS started having it just recently. ^^ They didn't have them before.
Hmm... I've seen a lot though, however I've only seen from rapper concerts like Eminem.
Such professionalism.💜✨
Thank you very much for being there to help those armys.💜
Oh, that's so cool. I remember there was a recent discussion going on about interpreters at the concerts before, so it's neat to be able to hear about her experience! We appreciate all of her hard work!
I shed tears watching this video.. Omg she's amazing, and as sweet as her name.. 😇 ❤️❤️❤️💜💜
Oh my, this is so cool!
I think as fans we can forget to give enough credit to the people who make BTS shine, so this is a shout out to:
makeup artists 👏
dress stylists👏
stage crew👏
backup dances👏
ground crew👏
Security👏
maintenance grew👏
planning committees👏
camera crew👏
sales committee👏
managers👏
medical staff 👏
An extra big thanks to interpreters, sign language and disability aid. 💜👏👏💜
and any other people who help BTS shine on stage, thank you from all of ARMY 💜👏👏💜
My hearteu- I love her, she's my new UA-cam bias sorry
Thxs for doing gods work
I just checked out her UA-cam channel and shes really needs help to boost her channel so I like all her videos💜
maaaan this made me cry :( so thankful for her bc many other armies with special needs got to enjoy the concert as well :"(
Wow!!!! Hats off to all the team working for Korea Now, really appreciate your hard work to put all the good content in and around BTS and thank you for covering this.
I am crying..It's 4 in the morning and I am not ready to get emotional and on top of that it is so cold but this make me so warm...I hope her all the best in her work and life and in the future keep interpreting...Thank you for your hardwork,Teacher...
HUGE RESPECT FOR YOU. 💜👍👌
What you did was so heartwarming and amazing, and the fact that you took time to learn the songs even through your sore arm was just awesome. Thank you for inspiring me to good like you 💜
This was so touching I was crying. BTS truly invites everyone into their world.💜💜💜
this is wonderful! she worked so hard to interpret the sentiment of every song. Only love and appreciation for the work she does!
I work at the disabled students center at my school and there are a few students who are deaf, so I’ve been doing my best to study American Sign Language to hopefully make them feel comfortable communicating with me.
I want to thank her☺️ for helping to carry the BTS message and that people with hearing loss could enjoy the concert. 💜
I was not planning to cry with this video but here I am wiping away my tears. She's really amazing! The fact that she only had one week to learn 11 songs and instead of giving up she practiced and practiced until she needed wrist braces for the pain. It's beautiful the dedication that she had to help the hearing impared fans. The part that got me crying is when she said that all ARMYs helped so that the "small group of people" could have an interpreter...really shows how caring and hand working ARMY can be/are.
she is amazing. Respect! 💜
look at BTS now, INCLUDING SIGN in their DANCE & MV- LEGENDS.
Aww so lucky
Wowwww😲😲😲😲
Its my 1st time to know in a concert to place sign language.. BH & BTS are so considerate.. I respect and love them more💜💜💜💜
Im so touched when i see this. You know what? You worked hard. Good job, you nice keep going!
🙏 Thank you. You make me regret not learning sign language as a second language. 💜 I am grateful for you and the many others who help the transition between our languages.
BTS are legends.
Imagining having to handsign their raps already gave me a headache and sore hands. This woman is a superhero.
Thank You Korea Now for this precious report, to show all the little heroine or hero who came together to make everything possible. Though it’s by the effort of ARMY, but without her willingness to participate to help our Hearing impaired ARMY fulfill their once in a lifetime experience, it won’t be possible .. So thank You.. and 사탕님, 고생하셨어요 .. 아미한테 와주셔서 감사합니다 .. 진짜 다음에 곡 와요...
Sorry for getting sore wrist..Thank you so much for delivering the bts message to other ARMYs.. it’s the message that means a lot.
We all appreciate you a lot. Thank you for your hard work to make this world more welcoming for everyone. So much respect for you, especially since you'll have to nail the rap parts too. You are a hero. I'll definitely check out your channel. We purple you. Borahae 💜✨🌟
UNNIE!!! YOU'VE DONE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL JOB 😭😭😭😭😭✨✨✨✨✨💜💜💜💜💜 AAAAA--- MAY YOUR HARD WORK BE BLESSED FOREVER!!!
Firstly, Thank you for this vlog to let me know her. I am thankful that BTS also give opportunity to Army who need sign language yo enjoy their performances and i hope it will be present in their performances everywhere. I believe it will be beautiful. I just subscribe her vlog.
I wish i could learn some more of this language.
Thank you for all your hard work❤️
It makes me happy that BTS cares so much about army that they brought interpreters to the concert, even if they can't hear the music, they still get the lyrics and get to experience going to a concert
Many many ThaNKS
very nice!! I always enjoy having interpreters at a play. I went to Enchanted April play and the interpreters were wonderful it really helped me understand it so much more. :)
4:42
She’s definitely not wrong.
I remember there was a girl in front of my seating area at the LA Love Yourself concert interpreting in ASL. It's always cool to see how diverse the ARMY fanbase is and how many different communities it combines
She is a hard working woman...💜
That's wonderful, so that everyone, deaf or not, can understand there songs!!!
Well that is for those who are Korean...
Though they also have foreign sign language interpreters... I saw a tiktok clip from their Wembley during tear performance
BTS care about all their fans a and that makes me so happy. I'm really thankful to army and people like her that help others so they can also enjoy BTS' messages 💜
I'm here again because of "Permission to dance", Bangtan used sign language in their choreo and I saw that a lot of deaf people or with hearing loss felt touched and happy because they never saw artist like them.
I'm currently studying modern languages in the university and there's a selective unit and sign language is an option, I've been always interested in that one and thanks to BTS now I really want and to pick that one, so excited 🙌🏻
your great to work so hard..im proud to be army
Thanks for your hard work 💜💜💜
Thank you for your hard work..
Good job and never giving up. We did Appreciate her work hard to do sign language for deaf people. Proud enough and I applauded her (Jazz hands 🙌🏻) for her try to do her best. 😁
That dedication right there
Thankyou 💜
So proud of you...👍👏
I’m glad there are people like her
Every day, I'm more and more proud to be ARMY.
This is a family I love be to in.
The video is great and I really enjoyed watching it! Just for the feedback, I recommend to avoid using hearing impaired because that term is considered a negative in the Deaf community.
Also, as a Deaf person and enjoy K-pop, I have noticed that there are Korean sign language infused in the dance and that made me really happy because it’s spreading the awareness with the Deaf community in South Korea! It really warm my heart when Hearing Army helped to process and get access for Deaf Army! Much love! 🤟🏼
Korea Now, this is a great video 👏 Thank you so much for this!!!
You've worked hard! Good job and thank you!
I' proud of you! You did amazing!!
This is so lovely to see, thank you
This is a hard work. I'm glad she able to go through this task well. It wasn't an easy task tbh😸
Thank you for doing this for hearing impaired Army 🙏🏻👍🏻
I never knew this. It's amazing how BTS and Big Hit tries to cater every one's needs and this is one by far the best. Great job!
I’m so glad and thankful that Army’s helped out a D/deaf or hard of hearing army to have an interpreter.
I'm so proud of this exceptional group, this phenomenal fandom and every effort we take together. Thank you for being a wonderful part of it and helping lovely armys enjoy their concert!
The energy, effort, dedication for all of us can equally enjoy the moment. wow... also, where can I get that cat tower? hehe
Did you all catch that sign-rapping at the end hehe... cute
I was just searching for this comment if not I was going to comment
That is amazing!! Wow 🤩 This makes me want to learn sign language too!
This is so beautiful. All the Thanks and love and warm hugs for her.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This is so AMAZING you made me emotional and you SAW BTS i would die to have a glance😭😭💜💜edit: i forgot to add the most important thing
#ARMY FOR LIFE TILL DEATH AND ETERNITY 💜💜
Kinda' interesting she didn't really know BTS's songs to start with.
I always wanted to learn sign language, I’m happy that I found a UA-cam Chanel that teaches it ! Also, if anyone know a UA-cam channel in French/English or even Spanish/Japanese that teaches it I would be so thankful! I know that they differ from language to language so I want to learn as most as possible 😊
Amazing work and effort!! Even sharing 22 songs between 2 people, that’s 11 songs each, with only 1 week to prepare for it?? Wow, it must have been an intense week
This must've meant SO much for those ARMY's :)💜
