Alright, reading through your comments I need to make a couple of things VERY CLEAR. There was NO NEGATIVE context towards Joe Biden at all, there was no comment about Joe Biden aside from it being Joe Biden. I carry ZERO political affiliation and have no bias towards either party. If you took it negatively then that is your perception of how and what was said because it was not meant to be that way. Understand that it is a very high honor to be that close to ANY president because of security concerns and we are all very much happy for them to get that chance! No we do not thing Jin has a large ego it was a joke that we laughed and went on trying to fit into Jin’s humor of the current scene. The comment made “Imagine getting your ass kicked by someone that sings like that” AGAIN is NOT NEGATIVE. It is meant as someone that sings that well is also very badass and it’s awesome. We are in awe of these members and their capabilities as a whole and as individuals. Like our reactions are genuine and individual to each person and we are having our own interpretations of the content we are reacting to, also realize we have context behind what we are saying and how we say it. Ask instead of assuming we are talking negative because not one thing we said was negative towards the group, individuals, or even the president of the United States.

Jin is joking when he talks about how handsome he is. He's actually very humble and introverted. He uses humor as a way to deflect.

I am a 50 year old ARMY from UK. Not just young girls in ARMY. There is footage on KZfaq at one concert where V asks all the male ARMYs to holler and believe me, there were a lot of them. This group is loved by all genders, nationalities and ages 💜

Jin mostly uses the “Worldwide handsome” thing as a sort of ice breaker/joke to get himself out there in American interviews because it usually gets everyone laughing 😭

Regarding Jin becoming an assistant instructor... keep in mind that he's 30, which is older than literally every other enlistee there. I know you guys know age-based hierarchy is a huge thing in Korea. And of course everyone who goes to train there will know who he is. No one is going to backtalk Jin of BTS, lol. Like his music or not, the dude brings billions of dollars to the Korean economy, so the military is probably going to be a little extra careful how they handle him--even if he's not asking for any sort of special treatment.

fun fact during a concert, V asked the men to make some noise and it sounded like a football field so no, they are not all girls, respectfully. :)

A fun fact, the military had a talent show in Korea and Jin apparently “lead his team to victory” by teaching them choreography, and they won a day of vacation 😂

Here's some updates on the members since this video was made Jin- Jin released his debut solo single album called The Astronaut in October which he worked on with the band Coldplay. Shortly after he performed the song for the first time at Coldplay's tour stop in Argentina. He also appeared on numerous shows to promote the song. He also became the spokesperson for the ramen brand Jin Ramen in November. Jin also hosted a new variety show with famous Korean chef Baek Jong-won. The series is centered on two things: making alcohol and eating food, with special guests and random activities sprinkled in to keep it spicy. Jin’s Traditional Alcohol Journey premiered November 12 on BTS’s KZfaq channel. On December 13, 2022 Jin enlisted as an active duty soldier to complete his 18 months of mandatory military service and is expected to be discharged in June of 2024. Suga/Agust D- Suga has been taking numerous lessons and became the global brand ambassador for Valentino. He's also hosting a talk show where he provides the food and atmosphere while the guest provides the alcohol. Suchwita airs on their KZfaq channel, BangtanTV. Suga also worked on and featured in the song That That by PSY (the man who sang Gangnam Style). And Suga is set to become the first member of BTS to embark on a solo tour starting in April. It's also be speculated he is working on new music, but he's been very quiet about it. J-Hope-J-Hope released his first solo album Jack In the Box last July with 2 music videos for MORE and Arson and became the first Korean artist to headline a major US festival- Lollapalooza. He had a feature on the song Rush Hour by Crush and has been to numerous fashion shows. He performed on the MAMA awards and New Years Rockin Eve in New York City. J-Hope also released his documentary called J-Hope In the Box on Disney Plus that shows the making of his album and his performance at Lollapalooza. RM- RM released his debut solo album called Indigo back in December with featured arists such as Anderson .Paak and Erykah Badu and many others along with 2 music videos Wild Flower ft. Youjeen and Still Life featuring Anderson .Paak He also featured on the song Sexy Nukim by Balming Tiger. It's also being speculated RM will be on Pharrell's next album. He performed on NPR's tiny desk concert and Rolling Hall in South Korea for 200 fans. He also hosted the Korean variety show The Dictionary of Useless Human Knowledge where the show’s expert panelists discuss literature, physics, forensics, and astronomy. He also has been visiting numerous art museums and is currently working on new music too. Jimin- Jimin has been busy working on his debut solo album which Jimin says she be out in March. He's been doing tiktok's covering numerous BTS dances. He was also named the global brand ambassador for Dior and attended their fashion show in Paris, France. Earlier this year he got to work with and feature on the Vibe by Taeyang (a member of the legendary kpop group BigBang). Working with Taeyang is a dream come true for Jimin since he's been a fan of Taeyang's since he was young. V- The cool shade stunner has a starring role in a new variety series. Jinny’s Kitchen takes Taehyung and his famous friends to Mexico, where they open up a Korean eatery run by popular actor Lee Seo-jin. It will premiere February 24th on Amazon Prime. V also landed on the cover of Vogue Korea in September and is currently working on his solo music. Over the summer, he featured in Disney +’s In the Soop: Friendcation, a variety show that follows a four-day friendcation to a seaside town. Jungkook- Jungkook featured on Charlie Puth's song Left and Right last year and has also been working on solo music. He sang the song Dreamers for the World Cup soundtrack and performed in Qatar for the World Cup's Opening Ceremony. And while we didn't see Jungkook a lot after his performance he has recently come back to do his famous record-breaking livestream sessions where he sings numerous songs from not just BTS but other artists as well. BTS announced last June at their annual Festa that they would be taking a break from group activities to focus on their solo endeavors. But BTS decided to continue their variety show Run BTS. In June 2022 BTS released their anthology album called Proof with the title track Yet To Come and performed on Korean music shows for the first time in over 2 years. In October 2022 BTS performed their last concert as BTS until 2025 in Busan, South Korea in a bid for Busan to host the World Expo in 2030. It was then announced after the concert that BTS would fulfill their mandatory military service after their solo schedules were completed and the group planned to reunite around 2025. BTS earned 3 more Grammy nominations and were named Artist of the Year at the MAMA awards for the 7th year in a row. All the members of BTS now have a friendship tattoo of the number 7 and when all 7's are drawn together it makes the name BTS. BTS also became the first kpop group to have all members chart on the billboard hot 100 as soloists.

Just to point out JKs age when he joined BTS was 13 although he will say 15 but that is due to the Korean age system, he debuted at 15, but was training with the members at 13. The age the members were all together when they started was between 13 and 19. Yeah, anyway, I hope you enjoyed this guide!

the fact that all members have writing and producing experience is largely thanks to SUGA and especially RM. both of which came in with this ton of experience in music writing and production and most importantly they had this burning passion for music. coming from underground rap they didn't respect artists who couldn't create their own music so from the very start they made sure bts wouldn't be that kind of group. RM used to make mixtapes for the vocalists to teach them the history of hiphop, guided them into songwriting, suga taught the members producing etc. there is still a big difference in their credits obviously, jin has maybe a handful of writing credits while RM and suga have written and produced hundreds of songs even for artists outside of bts

I love at the beginning you said they would not do a free concert because they made to much money now. In October of last year they actually did do a free concert for about 62,000 in person and then it was lived streamed for the rest of the world. They wanted to give it as a gift to people before they started enlisting, which was announced that they would be going a couple days if not the next day after that concert. They have since released it into theaters for people to see

A saying I repeat is: Calling BTS a boy band is like calling a computer a typewriter :) They just did a free concert in Busan. It was also live streamed and broke the internet. It is always surprising to people to find out Army has a large percentage of men. Also, average age is older than you would think. I appreciate you guys trying them out. 💜

Their last concert before Jin enlisted was in Busan and tickets were free as they were promoting Busan's bid for Expo 2030. Tickets were allocated via random fan draw. I was one of the lucky recipients and travelled from the UK. It was an amazing experience. 💜

Jin & Jungkook are two peas in a pod, both introverts, they feed off each other's energy; Jin actually assumed responsibility to 'raise' Jungkook. So, if you notice, Jungkook (in the black mask) was totally silent (too close to tears to speak) during BTS' visit at Jin's induction. Recommendation: live performance of 'Attack on Bangtan'...it's amazing!!

RM taught himself English by watching episodes of the American TV show Friends. He listened first with Korean subtitles then with English subtitles and then with no subtitles.

ARMY is about 40% male and most are at least as old as the members- many of us are much older.

Btw, Wembley Stadium in the UK holds about 90k people - it's where Queen had their historic performance. Now, imagine being one of the guys in this humble group of young, hard working dudes from SK having THAT audience sing your song to YOU in your native language? My heart would surely probably burst! During a break in the concert, BTS's staff messaged the audience via the large stage screen with instructions for the surprise, then showed the lyrics in karaoke style so every non-Korean speaking fan could pronounce the Korean lyrics properly. It was one of those uniquely touching, biggest moments in music history that received less recognition than it should've. JK, the youngest, was barely 20/21 years old, with Jimin and V (aka, the 95ers/born in 1995) just 2 years older than him.

And Jin doing good in military, btw. He become Company Commander, leader of 200 trainees, completed harsh CBR training (chemical, biological, radiological) that easy to avoid.

We need news! As of 2023, BTS has 900+ awards, making them the #4 most awarded artist in the history of music! The result was a reaction to the legendary Grammy's live performance of a song called Butter, which was named the number one performance of the program for so many years. Really, they managed to do this in only ten years, which makes them once again legendary artists🥂💜

Lmao, goodluck with them tickets, Army is family, but when it comes to tickets, its a every Army for themself type thing....

Jin has accomplished so much and will be one of if not, the eldest trainee in his batch. He is already 31 in Korean age, 30 international age. Consider his education qualifications and wealth of experience. He has a masters degree, is very intelligent, witty, wise, hard working, with strong leadership skills and a disciplined work ethic that surpasses the norm. No surprise he excelled. His team even won a talent contest which Jin helped his team with choreo etc and their reward was an extra day off. Thank you for taking the time to get to know our Bangtan Sonyeondan. Was also interesting to hear your own stories. It is also fascinating that except for JK, all BTS are older than Teel. Reaper is not much older than Jin. I appreciate how you are opening your minds and letting go of preconceived ideas about BTS and like you, we are all trying our best not to prejudge people or anything around us that we know nothing about. With BTS, we reflect more, listen more, try to live more compassionately, show our feelings more, find strength in our vulnerabilities and just share positivity amidst our own struggles. More power to you ! P.S. Watching you with your dogs made me smile. All BTS have pets - dogs, cats, etc Jin even wrote a touching ballad called Tonight for his beloved dog who passed. Have a listen. It is beautiful.

Taylor should clarify that *JK's age when starting with BTS training was only 13 years old in international age, but 15 years old in Korean age* . He does mention being 15 in some interviews, but those were to Korean audiences. In Korea's different way of counting age, a baby is 1 when born and adds another year at New Year regardless.

While the majority of their more vocal fans are female, I’d say there’s more male fans than you think. Women are more open about their fandom for BTS because why not, we get made fun or for liking almost anything. And if it’s male dominated, women are told they’re only supporting it because of men. So yeah, women are going to be more loud about their love of BTS, but my husband is more excited about a potential Agust D concert next month than I am.

I’m sure others have said do but the last concert they did V had all the men “make some noise” and it sounded like an MMA fight in that stadium. BTS attracts all kinds of people.

Jk was 13 and Taehyung aka V 15 years old when they became trainees. The members had a trainee period from 1-3 years. Korean age is always one or two years more than your international age. South Koreans consider that everyone is one year old at birth. By June 2023, the Korean age system will no longer be permitted to be used on official documents in South Korea. This is to reduce confusion by adopting the same system used in the rest of the world, which means only the international age system will remain. Bts international age on their debute day in 2013 were: Jin, 20 (hyung = oldest) Suga, 20 (hyung line) Jhope, 19 (hyung line) RM, 18 (hyung line) Jimin 17 (maknae line) V 17 (maknae line) JK 15 (maknae = youngest)

Thanks for having me again! This was really interesting and I learned a lot!

I 'm sure all us Army/fans knew you would find it interesting. About Jin, having completed his initial training he is to be an assistant instructor, his ability to persevere in learning new things was one of the reasons they liked him so that he emerged top of his class/ intake.

None of the members have a big ego. It would be impossible to be together this long if one of them felt like he was above the rest. That is why BTS is the greatest of all time. All 7 checked their egos at the door and collectively bought in to their goal, which is to represent young people and to help us to love ourselves.

We have a lot of males in ARMY. We are not all females. Some men are in it because their significant others are ARMY and then they become fans and many others became fans on their own.

We said V stands for Vocals + Visuals but actually V is for VICTORY

If you guys are interested in seeing their journey from beginning to huge superstars I recommend The Rise of Bangtan, which is another fan made project, however this one has around 20 chapters of 20-30min each. It may seem like a lot but I promise it’s a really well made series that documents their journey really well. Loved seeing you guys fall in love with the boys despite your initial reservations for a “boyband”. 💜💜💜

BTS has a special place in my heart, I did 8 years in the Air Force, had very bad leadership, and was the only SSgt with 30+ airmen, no tsgt and only had a msgt. I was constantly overwhelmed with everything and had 0 guidance or assistance. BTS took me out of a dark place when no one else could, they taught me to love myself, to trust myself, and take care of myself first and foremost. After having my own 2 kids as every woman gains weight, they have also taught me to persevere and get through the trials and push to make myself better. I give them many thanks for alot of things in my life, I listen to them everyday because of the way their music makes me feel, I can laugh, cry, be upset, and be happy listening to music when I don't know the language. It takes so much to become a person like them in this world now. And tho I'll probably never meet any of them, I thank them everyday for the help they gave me and many others during their worst days. The love us ARMY have for them is not given because they demand it or expect it like most American artists, its given because they have shown over and over they deserve it. I will FOREVER be an ARMY!!! 💜💜💜

I'm literally commenting while watching you guys. Jin is the opposite of a big ego. He's super humble, and jokes A LOT. He finds it amusing that people see him as worldwide handsome so he sarcastically jokes as d deflects with humor. If you follow them and watch their vidoes and lives etc, you'd see what a humble guy he is. Wayyyy far from a big ego.

ARMY is not all girls.

Male fan here, seen them live multiple times & my bias is Jimin. Jimin has a great lower range as well as an amazing falsetto. Jimin is also very anti toxic masculinity & has recently become the global ambassador for Dior, men are usually house ambassadors for fashion companies but because Jimin appeals to both male and female in quite a large numbers he was made global ambassador. If you search for reactors to Jimin most of them happen to be male.

There’s a lot of male audience for BTS too, but the ladies are just louder tbh.

"How do they have time for all that?" Literally all of us after watching this video 😂 But they sacrifice A LOT of time and work very hard. That's why they deserve everything they achieve now. The fact that they work that hard at young age and still very humble and kind, they really deserve everything they have now.

Don't worry about those mean comments. They always pop up when someone starts reacting to BTS (they twist everything and assume things). I'm really glad you pause when you talk and go back to read when you missed something. RM has the most copyrights among idols not overall in Korea. ARMY is mostly women but we have a lot of man in a fandom. If you want to know more about fandom I recommend watching xCeleste docu about ARMY.Thanks for reacting and for the bonus content! 💜Oh and V stands for Victory not visual (at least in the beginning).

Please increase the volume of Reaper. He sounded like he was in a cave. And in the video we're listening too. Tiger your volume was good. Please match it with the other.Thanks. So glad you reacted to this. And love that you still are curious about them and their success.

Re: RM’s English skill. RM has a literal genius level IQ, 148 in high school though he tests higher now, but I am not sure the number. For reference, Stephen Hawking and Einstein were around 160. You can hear his intellect reflected in the deep layers of meaning in his songwriting. He taught himself English as a child from watching the tv show Friends. All the members are also fluent in Japanese, and are now studying English. RM said recently that Jungkook has worked the hardest and made the most progress in his English so far. Re: BTS fan base: About 2/3 are female and 1/3 are male, though I think their male fan base is growing as awareness of their talent grows. There are a lot of biases and preconceived prejudices about “boy bands” that kept men from looking into their music, but that is changing now. The age range of ARMY is also pretty evenly spread across generations from teens to 50+ age range. They have a broad appeal because of their talent and musical diversity, otherwise they would not be so big.

Jin had absolutely no experience with music and dance and he not only had to work extremely hard to find his own talent but also, he had to keep up with the other VERY talented members. 💜

Hi new sub here. I'm a 40yr old BTS ARMY VETERAN (BTS ARMY pre-debut) as well as US ARMY 9/11 OEF/OIF Combat veteran whom has served in South Korea, Ft.Bragg, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Of which my stent in South Korea was pre/post 9/11. I first learned about k-pop and even performed in a dance crew through my KATUSA battle buddy at the Yongsan theater back in 2001, before k-pop got to where it is today. Although I loved k-pop I never STANNED any group before BTS. HONESTLY I knew they were gonna be huge before they debutted due to the videos they posted on YT and being 100% GENUINE in everything, which is how I found them for example. We have a saying in the BTS ARMY that "you don't find BTS, BTS finds you! When you need them most." They are a 7 member group whose spoken at the WHITEHOUSE, United Nations (3x) and Represent UNICEF whom talk about and tackles social issues, mental health, child abuse, and environmental issues to name a few. The fandom does not consist of screaming "teenage girls or just women" as many think or stereotype the BTS ARMY to be. There are actually millions of MEN , women, children and service members of all ages, races, disabilities, ethnicities, gender identification, etc. As for myself I found them while going through a messy divorce, dealing with MST/PTSD, and becoming a single mom having to navigate everything on my own. BTS have not only been a voice for millions but also a source of kindness, joy , motivation and hope. As while they were going through their struggles us (BTS ARMY) was there with them and we cheered for each other as cried together with the members. Yes, we have and will continue to be protective of BTS just like the oath I took to protect this country (USA) I served from all threats foriegn and domestic. This is due to the constant threat and mistreatment BTS has received unprovoked by those within the industry in and outside of Korea as well as the threats to their life by many. THANK YOU for your genuine reaction and giving BTS a listen with an open mind. They are a Group from South Korea. They started in a small company called BIGHIT (now known as HYBE, The now largest music label in SK and now America) which was basically bankrupt. BTS has now made the company the MOST PROFITABLE in KOREA. However, BTS is not a boyband by western definition. They are a group with a message of self love, mental health awareness, ending child abuse/violence, world change, environmental awareness, Human rights, Performance Arts and positivity to name a few. You always want to turn on your captions when watching MVs, ALL MV's are filled with symbolism in every part of the video even the tiniest thing so always watch their videos to the very last second as they leave hints everywhere. BTS and the BTSARMY is a GLOBAL MOVEMENT to promote love and posivity while covering issues which impact the youth and those whom speak out against injustices. BTS is all about art, wordplay, symbolism that makes others think and expressing themselves within the music. I recommend watching the “Introduction to BTS, The 7 members of BANGTAN” by XCeleste as well as “Nobodies to Legends”, "BTS HARDSHIPS"(which will probably trigger you) as RM and SUGA were underground rappers and heavily attacked and humiliated by those within the k-pop and underground hiphop scene. The underground called them sellouts and the k-pop idols said they don’t have the looks of a what an IDOL is in Korea. This video only highlighted tiny bits of what they're capable of. BTS actually beat the record set by MJ, Celine Dion, Adele, and the Beatles with 4 #1 albums within a little over a year and most #1s globally. BTS hit #1 on 7 BILLBOARD CHARTS and made history doing so as the only group ever to be #1 on 7 charts simultaneously, first Korean artist and only group ever to do so in history. Only group from SK to perform with COLDPLAY and be Grammy nominated 5 times. BTS stands for "BANGTAN SONYEONDAN" in Korean which translates to "BULLETPROOF BOYSCOUTS" and their adopted English name is "BEYOND THE SCENE". BULLETPROOF BOYSCOUTS means to protect the youth from the unrealistic expectations, criticisms and stereotypes that rain down on adolescents like bullets. However this slogan applies to all of the BTSARMY no matter the age, race, ethnicity, gender identity, religion, skin color, or language. The fandom (family) is ARMY which stands for ADORABLE REPRESENTATIVE MC for YOUTH. RAP LINE: KIM NAMJOON aka RM (Real Me) = Leader of BTS, MAIN Rapper, producer formally known as RapMon/Rap Monster, former underground rap name was "RUNCH RANDA" MIN YOONGI aka SUGA/ AGUST-D = Lead Rapper, producer, composer whose underground rap name was "GLOSS". SUGA is pronounced (Shoo-Ga) which is an abbreviated form of his basketball position shooting gaurd in high school and AGUST-D is SUGA and Town of Daegu backwards which is his hometown. JUNG HOSEOK aka J-HOPE= Dance Leader, main dancer, rapper, producer, sub-Vocalist. J-HOPE chose his name as his the initial of his surname JUNG and HOPE because he wants to be the ray of sunshine to the world and his band mates. VOCAL LINE: KIM SEOKJIN aka JIN = Visual, Vocalist and eldest member PARK JIMIN aka JIMIN (JM) = Lead vocalist and Lead dancer KIM TAEHYUNG aka V = vocalist and dancer. V pronounced (bwi) in Korean stands for VICTORY/VICTORIOUS. He chose his English name to be VINCENT after Vincent VanGogh. JEON JUNGKOOK aka JUNGKOOK (JK) = GOLDEN MAKNAE (youngest) MAIN Vocalist, dancer, sub-producer, sub-Rapper DANCE LINE: J-HOPE, JIMIN JUNGKOOK, and V (TAEHYUNG) Note: ALL MEMBERS can produce, sing, rap, dance, songwrite, act, model, choreograph, and direct REMEMBER: There is a saying in the BTS ARMY, “BTS shows up when you need them most.” I believe that GOD put them in your path for a reason. Good Luck and enjoy the journey of getting to know BTS, what they stand for as a group, and each member individually. They are truly genuinely worth knowing. BTS + ARMY = BORAHAE (Eternal LOVE and TRUST) 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 TOMORROW BY TOGETHER (TXT) + (MOA) MOMENTS OF ALWAYSNESS = ONE DREAM LOVE YOURSELF: SPEAK YOURSELF for you are the LIGHT which shines upon others like the MOON in the night sky surrounded by a MIKROKOSMOS of stars leading to a universe where SERENDIPITY and EUPHORIA awaits you with no STIGMA to contain you. For BTS will be your FILTER and cause your INNER CHILD to AWAKE.

i personally don't think you guys were being negative. you were pretty open minded. you may have had certain stereotypes in mind about the band before watching this but that's all i felt. its so much better seeing the honest genuine reactions than putting up a facade of liking something to get views. really enjoyed this! 💜

In K-pop groups it’s not unusual to have solo or subunit projects. It’s actually encouraged. For BTS the group always comes first but they 100% support each others solo

I just want to say that I don't think politics has any place on a reaction video. It is disrespectful. BTS was honored to be invited to discuss Anti-Asian hate with President Biden.

Thank you very much for the reaction 😊 Namjoon now has 210+ song credits under him the youngest to do so ✨💜✨

​Thanks for reacting. btw, ARMY is like 35% Men, it's not all women.

8:25 That was 2014. They were artists on the rise, and soon to embark on their first tour, so being free wasn't because they weren't known or anything PLUS they did a free concert last October (yes, 4 months ago). They already told so in their last concert in Las Vegas in April that they would love to hold a concert for hundreds of thousands for free. And they did. They also held a concert in March in Seoul were they lost a lot of money (Jin spills all the time) bc the gvt had set up covid rules ONLY for concerts but not sport events (such as having the stadium only 1/3 full, no snacks/beverages allowed/sold inside, etc.) They are big, they are artists, and they love what they do. And much of it they do it for free (they come live for HOURS in a free platform whenever they have some time to spare, so they are like that ^^)

It's amazing that these boys could sing, dance, write, rap and produce music- all as a group of teenagers, living in a house together. When I see their earliest videos, I can't believe how young they were, and to have such talent. To have the courage and confidence to follow their dreams.....no matter what! 🙂 💜

I love Jin and his humor. He often jokes about his good looks and BTS's superstardom. He's said that people often don't know how to act around them, especially at first meeting. If people complimented him about these and he deflected them, the situation would just continue to be awkward. So instead, he leans into these and makes jokes to break the ice. These two things are undeniable anyway. But the moment people complimented him about how he has contributed so much for Korea and the Korean music industry, that's when he gets flustered and deflects.

I’m quite disappointed by what the one in white was saying abt only girls at the concert cheering. Something abt “you can only hear girls there”. Someone please make him watch the famous “gentlemen, make some noise” moments from PTD. If you go to a sport game like soccer, baseball, football, etc. during the chants the voices definitely seem males only. Does it mean there is not a huge representative of females at sport games. But we never hear any assumptions like that in sport, but the moment it’s abt a boyband, such comments appear. People need to stop with those narratives. It gets tiring.

So, just to clarify, that list of things below each member's name are what each of them are. So for example, Jungkook's is Main Vocal, Dancer, Composer, Songwriter, Producer. That means, hes all of those things. Meaning, all over the members are songwriters and producers. However, RM, SUGA and J-hope are the main producers and songwriters for the group. Like the ones that have 'Dancer' in their description are apart of the dance line (Which are Jhope, Jimin, Jungkook and V. V was added to the line more recently- in 2018) What im trying to say is, all of the members have multiple roles within the group :)

Suga got his nickname from Shooting Guard. He loves basketball. Recently, he went to the Mavericks - LA Lakers game in California. Jin was discovered on the street. He was not a singer or a dancer before BTS. With tons of hardwork, he learned. They have a rap line (RM, Suga, and J-Hope) and a vocal line (Jungkook, Jin, Jimin, and V.) They all dance. RM learned english from watching Friends on Netflix. An interviewer asked him which character was more like him and he said Chandler.

I really enjoyed you guys honest reaction to this. Male Armys grow by the day....and at their last concert, you can definitely hear the males cheering. BTS is destroying toxic masculinity. Outro Tear - Live Wembley Performance is a must add to your list ( their stage presence is insane!! ) and Ddaeng + Explaination by DDKTV , Baepsae Dance Practice Video + DDKTV Explaination, UGH + DDKTV Explaination are just a few more to add to you list. My whole family is here for your BTS reactions. Thank you so much again!

I loved that you included Jin’s enlistment at the end! He prerecorded monthly males ages to ARMY to be dropped throughout the time he is gone. And BTS is like the Avengers of Kpop. Each of them bring different talents to the group, providing perfect balance. Also, if you have Disney+, there is a new documentary that just dropped covering JHope’s first solo concert - headlining Lollapalooza. He killed it! The concert is available on KZfaq for free.

Actually about 30% are male fans.

Actually BTS did have a free concert Last October XD it was honestly so amazing and it was livestreamed across the world, absolutely insane. We crashed the server multiple times of course hehe

V (Kim Taehyung) just became the only person in the whole world to have all his instagram posts get atleast 10 M likes. He holds the guinness world record of reaching 1M(in 40 odd mins) and 10 M followers in 4 hrs 50mins in instagram. Its a surprise that you have heard the least about him 😅

At the PTD concert in Las Vegas, V had the males in the audience compete with the females to cheer louder. The clip exists on the KZfaq. Check it out...future Male BTS Army should be aware! 💜I'm having fun watching you guys fall into the Fandom. 😁

1:07:30 Having been to a bunch of bts concerts, I can attest that there's plenty of guys hahah. There was a memorable recent moment actually. At the PTD Vegas concert, there was a point where the guys asked for all the ladies to scream and then they asked for all the men to scream. It was soooo fun to see the reactions because there were a lot of men cheering hahaha

I've been to several BTS concerts and can tell you that although the majority of the audience are undoubtedly female, prob about 35%-ish are male. BTS fans/ARMY consists of people from all walks of life, races, nationalities, from every age - young kids, teens, middle aged, to even some seniors, and definitely all genders. They even have a following in the hearing impaired/deaf community (V - which stands for "victory", altho is known for his obvious visuals - is also known to casually communicate using ASL/American Sign Language, + BTS have a song that charted @ #1, "Permission to Dance", which incorporated ASL in their choreography). BTS truly are a phenomenon in that regard, with a fan reach reminiscent of Michael Jackson. And yeah, the crowd is LOUD and super energetic! My first concerts were metal, rock and punk, with a mix of R&B and even classical (def mixed genres). BTS's concerts are hands down the loudest and most interactive, phenomenally entertaining and well put together concerts that I'd ever attended. There's a wholesome, welcoming quality, combined with their legit, fiercely phenomenal artistic talents (their rap line, vocal line and dance performances are no joke outstanding). It's the stigma of the idea of a "boy band" that initially turned me off to them until I stumbled upon some of their dance practices while perusing KZfaq during covid lockdowns in 2020, at a time when BTS continued to be extremely active with their music, variety shows, and paid online concerts, as other artists were less so. I've been hooked on BTS's endlessly fun content ever since... there's always something to discover and genuinely enjoy, if one has an open mind✌

I’m a Vet! I’m also a silver Army! Found BTS when I was suppose to. Loved your reaction! Enjoy the ride! There is so much ahead! Borahae!!!

Tae said, he choose his stage name V is for Victory

Don’t feel too bad about having the misconceptions - you’ll find a lot of us (myself included) did. I was surprised, humbled, and I grew a little realising that we all have a lot in common with them. They’re all insanely talented, but I’ll always be the most impressed by Jin. He was in his early 20s when he started dancing, it’s something that’s better started young when muscles can develop the right way to be able to handle the strain dancing can be. He’d practice until dawn, alone, because he acknowledged that he was way behind the others in terms of experience. I personally couldn’t tell he wasn’t the strongest dancer when I started, I was just like Damn, dudes can fkn dance 🤷🏻‍♀️

One of the biggest mistakes one could make is thinking this Fandom is made up of only the female population.

Actually ARMY is made of ALOT of males. Thats a comment that BTS has actually heard... so V had the audience do a screaming match at the Vegas shows and it was almost equal. As youre watching the guides you'll notice that due to the western media making BTS a boy band makes western ppl think thats it's mostly young females. This is also not true I'm actually 53 yrs old. Their music found me in some bad times that helped me love myself. The fandom is so diverse on gender, race, religion etc. Its something you'll grow more to learn down this journey on actually how diverse the fandom is and the reason the fandom is so large

I guess you missed it, which is understandable because it is a lot info, but RM is one of the main song writers. He has 210 KOMCA credits. The rappers all 3 are the main songwriters. But all 7 members write.

You’d be surprised to see that there are plenty of MEN attending their concerts, not just women.

I'm a part of the ARMY (and I'm female). A few corrections SUGA does not stand for sugar, it's an abbreviation for "shooting guard" in basketball (which is Suga's fave sport and he played it since he was very young). V (Taehyung or Taetae) stands for Victory, this is what TaeTae chose as his stage name upon joining BTS - he was the only one who made it from his region, the city of Daegu V=victory !! Jungkook (JK) is the youngest of the group, referred to as 'maknae' in Korean means 'youngest' - he joined BTS at 15yrs old, often cried, and missed being home, he was shy & the rest of the members cared for him, including driving him to school, helping with homework & all members came to his graduation (the part of the video with yellow uniforms). RM (Rap Monster) picked up English from watching (binge-watching) "Friends", his Mom gifted the series DVDs to him when he was young. BTS has two main cooks, who provide and prepare food for all members - Jin and Suga. Several members have a 2nd-degree black belt in taekwondo: Jin, Jungkoook & Jimin, their skills are often used in videos (RUN BTS and music videos). BTS is on "holiday" since Jin's enlistment in the army - the members are working on their solo albums Suga, RM, J-Hope, Jimin & Jungkook album is anticipated this year as well. This is their first long break from performances and concerts in 10 years !!! (since their debut). Their collaborations with other big English-speaking (and not only) artists have an impressive list including Coldplay, Halsey, Erykah Badu, Snoop Dog, Lil Nas, and Steve Aoki just to name a few. JK (Jungkook) sang the song "Dreamers" at the opening ceremony for FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar - - "Dreamers" was the anthem song for football World Cup. General info for k-pop, usually each group has a vocal line, dance line, and rap line. So it happens in BTS most members do all three. Thank you for being respectful and mindful, the music genre might not be for everyone but respect and admiration for their hard work should be shown. ARMY is estimated to have 40mln ++ members Worldwide and growing ;) 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

RM writes the most songs for BTS and Suga does the most production. They all contribute 100% of their talents to the success of the whole, and continually develop themselves.

I am a 58 year old ARMY. I credit BTS for getting me interested in rap. It was not on my playlist at all until they helped me appreciate the lyricism and flow. There are MANY AMAZING Korean rappers, if that is what you are into. Aside from RM, Suga and JHope My favorites RM - Joke Suga - Daechwita J Hope - Arson Another rapper I love is BewhY his song Gottsadae is mind blowing.

The biggest question we all have is where do they have the time to do all this but it’s also they motivated and encouraged each other. Instead of competing against each other they taught and helped each other to learn and try things. That’s made them incredibly ridiculously prolific with how many albums they’ve made and that’s not even including all the solo projects. It’s both amazing and overwhelming but thank you for being respectful and learning more!

6:20 they're actually over 900 as of today! They're the fourth most awarded musicians of all time after Taylor Swift, Beyonce and MJ. And the most awarded group of all time. 10:47 They actually popularised groups using not only their youtube channel to promote themselves, but also their social media! 31:35 He's persevered through his social anxiety, even though there have been times when he has felt like he didn't want to get onstage. 1:07:35 There's tons of male ARMy though! Look up "male army bts las vegas scream" and you'll see! BTS' fan demographic has tons of male and non-binary ARMY

The thing about Jin (Seokjin) that people sometimes overlook, is that he has natural authority . He might act like a goofball, and he is. But we also refer to him as a 'brat tamer' sometimes. Especially when the boys were younger, he was known for putting them in their place when needed. And they all listen, including Namjoon (RM) as the leader, and Yoongi(Suga) as the most savage member. Add to that the fact that he's actually older than most people he'll be training, and the fact that he's very athletic.. I think he'll be more than fine. :)

It's really cute. You think you can get tickets lol! Sold out in presale within minutes, not even open to the general public yet! ARMY tell them about Vegas turning purple for BTS!

Jimin also has a deep speaking voice when he speaks in his Busan dialect/satoori. If you listen to him sing Tony Montana with Suga, his voice is deeper. Also, as V/Taehyung can sing falsetto, he also has a really great growl. I didn’t realize you need permission from DKDKTV to react to their Explanation videos. Even if you watched on your own time, you’ll be impressed with RM/Nam Joon’s play on words. Ddaeng is a great one to watch! Hope you’re enjoying these videos. All the best! 호아팅! Fighting!

Looking forward to your reaction..dont worry we BTS fans love watching everything about our boys no matter how long it takes. Actually for me the longer the better.

I admire your confidence to think you'll be quick enough to get your hands on BTS tickets before ARMY specially for 2025 😂😂

BTS do actually have a lot of fanboys. They have more fangirls ( and I don't see anything wrong with that) than fanboys but they are still a lot. Also they literally have fans of all ages but i think most of us are around mid 20s or 30s.

I'm glad you're already doing some documentary to get to know their stories and the members better 💜 can't wait!

BTS has a growing male fanbase now, after people have overcome the prejudice of a boy band. BTS has a lot of genres and they get better performances in each song. So you will find your favorite songs. Thanks for the reactions. I have learnt a lot about your experience in real army. Hope you become ARMY too. We are from many countries and we do not speak English well. But many volunteers help translating to other languages.

To add to the information. Jungkook is the only Asian that too at the age of 25 to open worldcup with song dreamers. He made history with that. He was named one the best top 200 singers worldwide of all times (that included Michael Jackson and all) by rolling Stone. Only 2 asians are included in this. And only yesterday he became the fastest kpop soloist to achive 900 million streams on Spotify with only 3 songs and no album released yet

Unlike other KPop groups, BTS were given freedom to express their musical and artistic skills. That is why they have their own solo stuff aside from their group album. Each member have released songs and mix tapes on sound cloud for free as gift for their fans. Although they have their own in-house producers, they are involved in writing, composing and producing their songs. Since the beginning, their CEO Bang Shi Hyuk, the man who formed BTS told them to write their own lyrics and stories. That's why each time they rap or sing their songs, their emotions are overflowing and the message of their songs resonate with the general public.

Yes all we ask is that people give them a chance…they are a REALLY good people they have put up with so much unfairness….but that’s another video almost as unbelievable as this!Thankyou for your reaction …not all songs will be your favorite but SOME will !💜💜💜

there are almost as many male army as female and we are all ages. There are people all over the world that want to be a global community that cares and takes care of one another, we just needed a light to guide us to each other.

You don't necessarily have to know a language to sing it. When I was a kid, I sang men's and boys choir where we saying Latin, French and German in addition to English.

17:19 That was RM’s IQ for the longest time was 148 until retesting during exams and what I thought was his new recorded IQ at 190 ended up being his english compensation test score which I’ll have to go back to rewatch Problematic Man episode from a few years ago to see what his new updated IQ is. Also, he learned english during his adolescent years watching “Friends” and later down the road taught the rest of them and JHOPE shared the responsibility with RM in teaching them english speaking as well. *All the members can speak good amount of english.* 19:32 It was during grammys award show back in 2018 or 2019, it was not just RM … it was the whole group along with Nas X, Billy Ray Cyrus and Little Raymond boy but they were seated the whole time which was their first ever grammy stage performance that was granted through collabing with some of the western artists who attended which over time they gained ability to do many stand alone performances as a group in person and livestreamed.

Just based on your pinned comment I'm guessing you've reached enough army to experience the small % of crappy fans. Every fandom has bad fans, please don't take it to heart. Some people are VERY sensitive to BTS and some of them are just overly protective. Others are just unable to accept any sort of naysaying or criticism. We appreciate your views and you learning more about these guys! If there is one thing ARMY doesn't like is disingenuity. So keep it real!

Jin has the advantage of being older than ALL the other recruits, and the Korean culture values respect and obedience for your elders. ;) But he ALSO has the experience of working SO HARD - remember, he didn't know how to dance and sing before joining BTS, and he's always been one of the members struggling the most with the dance choreos; he'll normally come in the day before the others to start learning the choreo. So he knows how to work hard, how to deal with sh*t from directors and competitors and foreign bigots, a gazillion different staff members and reporters and fans - he's got the interpersonal skills of a PRO. Considering their stage work, he's also insanely fit and a perfectionist, so it's no wonder he won awards for his exemplary basic training and was accepted as a TA.

His greetings from Army Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 I was waiting for this one. About the free concert comment.Well you be surprised. The latest concert in Busan was for free and held 50 thousand plus fan. Not counting the millions including me that saw them online. We crash the internet.

Also they did engagement and their own variety shows because they often got cut from media appearances or mistreated by hosts and other guests so they essentially made their own seat at the table

It has been noticed in interviews that Suga will suprise us by the fact he appears to understand more English than we thought he did.

Thanks guys, that was so good, I am Army, my age is 76 years old, and I loved the way you both spoke about each one of the members, and yes they are so talented, I make sure I watch a video every day, good start to my day every day!! Borahae. 💜💜💜 and as J-Hope would shout, MAAAKKKE SOOOMME NOISE, love them boys Xxxxx

As always, like, subscribe, comment, and share with your friends if you enjoyed the video! This one is kinda long so please be patient as we tried to limit the pauses and the length of those pauses to meet the happy medium of all viewers! Make sure to hang out to the end for a *_special surprise_* as well!

BTS ROOM LIVE FESTA 2021 it's a great live where they sing snippets of lots of their songs and show how versatile they're and a little of their chemistry singing together 💜

Being open to changing your views when confronted by your own ignorance speaks highly of your character. You guys are good people! I really enjoyed your reaction and commentary! I hope you continue on down the rabbit hole. BTS have released over 300 songs, you're bound to like a handful at least. And even if you don't, their story is quite compelling and super inspiring. They have the ultimate underdog story, this docu barely scratches the surface of all the hardships and hurdles they had to overcome to get where they are today. Borahae!

Thank you for your honest reactions so far. Army can be super protective... partly because of the backstory of BTS and because they have been misunderstood so much. Also, ARMY has been misunderstood a lot too... "it's all teenage girls, etc" This is simply not correct but a natural assumption when you only know boy-band culture in the US. It's just a hot button for ARMY cause we hear this kind of thing A LOT! I had the same opinion... but I'm a 55 yo woman who just found BTS and I LOVE their stuff.. especially the harder stuff. Not all songs are for me, and they won't be for you either but you will definitely find some songs you love along the way. BTW.. you are already doing better than most at remembering names! It took me a long time to be able to know who is who. Keep doing what you're doing!

Okay, army's remember these guys are new and not as informed as we are when it comes to the boys be Patient and have grace, if they chose to continue their journey in discovering bts then they would look back and be like wow we were wrong. This is their journey they will learn just like we all did. Be kind ✨️

There is actually a lot of male fans

I'm not sure why it's edited out but right after Tae explained that abt the color purple he sheepishly admitted he made it all up! lol it doesn't mean that, it means that now to us and Bangtan after that 2016 Muster where Tae made it up, on the spot, the birth of I purple you/borahae
