No it’s not Arrogant. BTS did pave the way. bTS fan base is like No other. We will be there when they come back in 2025 💜💜💜🌺🌹

I just screenshot the "Routine is the enemy..." quote you have. I just retired after 51 years of working/routine. I think losing the routine has been the hardest part. I will use this quote to remind myself that I can now approach retirement with enthusiasm rather than regret/discomfort. I used to do art but allowed my routine to distract from it. Thanks to BTS and your comment/narrative, I will approach life differently. Thank you.

As always, I appreciate your comments. The 7 BTS members are super special in many ways, so please don’t take my comment as a criticism. It seems to me that as young boys, they had excellent people shepherding them along. People who recognized their unique talents and fostered them; stretched their knowledge base to some rather arcane Western literature; devised interesting games for Run BTS; sent them on trips to rather out of the way places…Finland, Malta; developed excellent choreography that has promoted growth for all the members; producers and song writers who compliment and extend the members individual talents; etc… I could continue, but you get the point. BTS would not exist without the 7 members who have given so much and have the personalities to ensure their success. But there are many people behind the scenes, without whom BTS would not be where they are today!

It's not arrogance at all! Infact I'm soo happy they choose to speak some facts instead of being too humble! Others need to have a reality check!

I throughly enjoyed your work on this video and your insights into the group. I like watching BTS content but get frustrated at the lack of maturity. I am 64 and BTS was my salvation during a difficult time in my life. ARMY was also a big factor in that being so welcoming and kind. I know that is the case for many ARMY. The vibe has changed a bit now with ARMY but I remind myself and others ARMY is billions strong and that includes every nationality, ethnic group, religion, gender, age, economic level, you name it. It is impossible for us all to see eye to eye on every single subject. What is important now is that we continue to show respect for one another so that our actions do not reflect negatively on BTS. I am going to subscribe and continue to watch your content. Thank You! 💜

RM I think said "We are seven individual in the same boat looking in different directions." I want to change it : " We are seven giants in the same boat looking in different directions." To me, they have paved the way. For a long time, I thought K-Pop meant Kids -Pop, so I was not interested. After I started watching Google shorts I fell in love with BTS. I started listening to "Fire" and Idol. Before I clicked play, I remember hoping that I liked it. I get so tired of kids that grow up and then destroy their lives for 10 years. Then they put out some music. Happily, I loved "Set Me Free! When I heard "Like Crazy" I knew it was a hit! I actually wanted to buy music! Each solo by BTS has been superb! Before BTS I was listening to classic Rock and Country. I thought I was too old for rap and uninterested in big-band music. They are all so incredible. I want them to go as high as they want. I consider them real idols. Let them stay together and still make room for their individual projects. I am so happy for them! You say it a lot better but I just had to add my thoughts.

Thank you, it’s heart warming to know what we as ARMY know about the guys. They don’t complicate things for themselves and our relationship with them is symbiotic. I’ve never experienced this type of devotion because it’s not just music but to know them individually through their music, I certainly am vested.

Goodnight, My name is Jennifer Loy, I'm a OT7 BTS. Here I learn a lot of them. Thank you for explaining this .

Previous bands I loved had imploded when they reached the heights of fame, for various reasons. One of my favorites came back 10 years later, after learning hard lessons about humility and the importance of the group. I'm so glad the guys didn't have to go through the horrific lows to learn this lesson. The have managed all their obstacles and hardship with incredible grace and maturity. As usual, you have made me see the episode from a different angle. Thank you.

No other bands or Kpop can top up what BTS did! So proud of BTS! Thank you for your wonderful comments as usual. I look forward to the next!

Isn’t arrogant, it’s just FACTS. 💜

I also think the clear expectations of Asian societies in terms of expected behaviour ( sex, drugs and rock n roll ) humility and respect has probably helped them not go “off the rails” like many young western artists. They know that certain bad behaviours are not tolerated. Their families as well clearly have been profound influences. And credit to Bang PD he seems to have their interests as artists and individuals front of mind.

I haven’t watched this episode yet, and as expected you did a great job in its review. In fact, I was so moved by your synopsis that you moved me to tears. You have a wonderful way in breaking down and relaying sometimes complex material in a concise and easy to understand format. Thank you💜

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and a summary of the Behind The Stars episodes. I especially loved this one. You are speaking wisely and from your heart. I can learn a lot. Thank you so much 💜

It's not arrogant to accept that they paved the way for others. That makes sense why the solo projects were also successful . Before BTS no other KPop groups were invited in the shows in the new era and not just for a year but consistently being relevant especially in the international market. Thank you for covering BTS very insightful and sincere. More power to your channel. Please vote for JK at the Peoples choice awards 4 nominations in music category, voting will end soon jan 19 soplease voote for JK representing BTS versus western artist. Thank you for your channel.

BTS paved the way, and that was truly is!

There is SO MUCH to unpack in the ugly phrase “western validation” which says A LOT MORE about those pointing the fingers than anyone else in the room. The more intelligent people reading this know exactly what I mean.

I think the episodes keep getting better and better. I think in the last episode, I may have learned several things or at least reinforced things I had thought in the past.

The sad thing about the military service is the reason why so many young men have to do it.

BTS did pave the way. When they agree to that, it isn't arrogance. It is acknowledgment of a fact that they worked hard and achieved amazing results.

They definitely BTS paved the way for other groups in Korea. Legends and icons.

Because BTS serve in the military in the height of their careers meaning NO ONE will have the audacity to request to request to be exempted from the service. They are not bigger than BTS so in this sense BTS paved the way again for all KPOP idols.❤🎉😊

My admiration & respect continues to grow. Thankyou for your insights.

So true! I always do my best to be a person BTS would be proud of , in everything I do 🙏💜

Estos chicos se sacrificaron mucho para llegar al éxito y ahora teabajan más aun para mantenerlo. Lo lograran a su regreso lo merecen x tanto talento. Los 7 lo lograran a su regreso.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜.y no olviden tienen un ejército que los ama.

I have been enjoying your analytical essays on BTS. Your insight and commentary is brilliant! 💜

Not at all is just a true fact BTS paved the way ..thank you 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

All the guys should be proud. No one should or want to take that away from them. Good job guys. Yes you did pave tbe way, and you made it easier for others. And youve keep it together. You guys are awesome clearly one of a kind.

Thank you for your covering of this. I wouldn't have any other way to learn about it and your very insightful view has been about the same as mine as you talk about what the guys have said. As an older, long time fan that's out of the country, it's hard to keep up to date at times. Again, Thank You 😊 🫰💜💜💜

Gracias por tus apreciaciones para con los chicos y el ejército.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

If it was for any other industry, an artist with the kind of soft power bts influenced, could unabashadly have had an arrogant proclamation (rightfully so) and it wouldnt be seen as some starking arrogance.

I always enjoy your insights. Thank you, for taking time over the year to making these videos.

No matter what they say about Bang PD if its not with his guidance and BTS talent ,dedication to their craft wIth ARMY supporting them all this time ......thats why BTS is iconic.

You absolutely help to make me think deeper about BTS journey. I'm going to watch these journeys 1 to 3 again. I need to because the contributed to my own journey in real life from 2021 to 2023, and I am still drawing strength from them in 2024.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I just love to hear your comments the way you narrate everything 🥰 more power to you and always looking forward to your next episode 💜

I agree with you about the military enlistments, its giving them another perspectives in their lives.

Aaaww Orange Crush! I believe in you! Hope for you, wish you the richest blessings

Thanks!

Zoals RM zei: it's funny but it's true!❤️❤️💜💜🥰🥰 het is gewoon de waarheid

I'm sorry, I missed it ... what log were you referring to about Jimin waiting for his brothers to come around ...? Did i miss something? Great video btw, your analysis and perspective is fascinating. 💜

Qu'elle belle dédicace faite pour ces 7 artistes que j'admire , merci , c'est avec plaisir que je vous ai entendu parlé de leurs combats et leurs magnifiques AURA ( personnellement j'ai une admiration pour Kim Namjoon) , à bientôt,, bye

The times off that things forced on them and all of us made them seek other avenues. If all of us took advantage of our side tracks we come out better for it. This time in the military will ultimately be good for them and make them stronger in their goals. I feel like I am being given the chance to catch up on knowing who they are. I have thought that the timing of JK’s album was perfect. I call it the GOLDEN ‘mic drop’. Like in the song Standing Next To You, he laid the Album down like the mic , walked away and let it do its thing. I would call them White Lighters, but that puts a lot of pressure on a person. They just need to keep being in this world creating good things and awakening the White Lighters in the rest of us.

Considering Black Pink has said they did and they didn't which makes me wonder if they really believe it or if they were made to say it and no one called them arrogant, delusional yes but not arrogant

Which Jimin vlog are you referring to? I'm still going through all the bts material.

Enjoyed this.💜

I'm not sure that I know what Log from Jimin you were talking about? Does someone have a link that can point me in the right direction, please?

if it's arrogant to state a fact then call me sir is-fact-newton

🎉thankyoy

Can you give me the link to Jin’s wise words?

Tbh, even the question is rhetorical.

No they damn will worked hard to get were they are,a bankruptcy agency, abuse ect ,those haters must go fet a life

If you think it is arrogant, then you dont know anything about BTS and ARMY. Do better shut your mouth haters
