I am a 71 year old dude from Chicago. I've never been into pop music very much, but BTS has won me over. Not only is their sound amazing, and their dancing outstanding, there is a depth to their lyrics that transcends almost any other group around. I already liked them when I found out that they wrote and produced much of their own music. That's sealed the deal for me. They are the real thing.

SUGA IS THE NBA AMBASSADOR AT PRESENT.

Now they have 1000+ awards and 41+ million Armys worldwide.

That rapper who dissed them is B-Free, he ended up in prison and they ended up changing the world💜 I'm a 57 yrs old Army here and I absolutely love these guys, watched them grow into some of the most humble, kind, compassionate, intelligent, sensitive young men💜

BTS changed the entire KPop game. They either started or made popular trends that you now see often with the newer generation groups in Kpop.

RM is the Korean Ministry of Defence's Ambassador for their program to retrieve the remains of fallen soldiers and return them to their families...and Suga is the brand Ambassador for the NBA...as Army mentioned im the previous post.

As an update, RM currently has 217 song credits/copyrights to his name. Suga has been named NBA Ambassador and just finished his solo world tour. JHope had a jam-packed solo show at Lollapalooza in Chicago and collaborated with JCole for On the street before he enlisted in the military. Jin collaborated with Coldplay's Chris Martin for his song The Astronaut before he enlisted in the military. I'm happy you're looking forward to watching more of BTS 😊💜. They are life changing 😉

Jimin is the brand Anbassador for Tiffany a d Co. as well as Dior. Of course BTS are global Brand Ambassadors for Hyundai and Samsung. Jungkook performed at the opening ceremony of the FIFA World Cup.

Fan interactions like this were unheard before BTS. They broke through the mysterious allure of idol life and showed us authenticity behind the scenes. No one anticipated it would lead to such loyalty, but when other companies realized it, they started requiring their own acts to do the same thing. In fact, social media was not a commonly used tool with kpop acts until BTS won Social Artist at the BBBMAs in 2017. Of course they used social media out of necessity because the big companies would influence the South Korean media to cut BTS from broadcasts or just not give them airtime. After that BBMAs win, all of a sudden other companies were scrambling to create or reactivate dormant accounts for their artists. Pretty much all the social media trends and fan-made videos you see in kpop mimic BTS and their fans who set the standard. Some of the more popular groups today were created by Big Three companies as a competitor to what made BTS so likable -- writers, producers, authentic guys, etc....

They are a wholesome group. I really miss BTS and can't wait for their comeback in 2025.

our guys are so sweet!!!: RM who cares so much and makes such moving speeches; Jin who said he used to speak more candidly but then when he saw that talking about being sad made fans sad so after that he only wanted to speak in a way to make fans happy; Suga who handmade 300 gifts for fans for a fan event and who cares so much about fans' mental health; Jhope always wants to cheer others, is "an angel" according to the guys and looking at his birth chart he is absolutely as sweet person; Jimin not only has an angelic voice but he's such a caretaker/nurturer and animals love him, RM said he's always putting others before himself; V is so down-to-earth and has the purest heart of anyone he's ever met according to Jimin; Jungkook even after they achieved great success would help workers clean venue afterwards and is extra sensitive and the guys say he cries the most.

Jungkook is the youngest, the golden maknae coz he is good in everything, he has a perfect pitch💜💜💜

Jimin and his unique and amazing talents.❤

That's a thing about BTS. You always walk away feeling happier & better and who doesn't need that in their lives? So much depressing news all about us. They're a great escape.

A lot of the things that newer generations of kpop groups do, have been brought into light by BTS. A major example is how BTS started their own variety shows primarily RUN BTS (because they were underdogs and couldn't go on korean tv variety shows like other groups); now you'll find lots of groups do that. Essentially, what you see in the kpop sphere at the moment, may not have been the common or normal thing when BTS was still coming up. BTS's influence has been huge on other groups and the industry as a whole

I just got to work, feeling miserable, and now there is a reason to be happy for an hour. Lol

Welcome welcome! This is sort of an entry pass to BTS & Army. I’ve seen this video countless times & in different reaction videos as well. Who wouldn’t love them after getting to know their story right? BTS is the GOAT! Now you are ready to watch the next video… pls watch their NPR Tiny Desk live online performance & identify with each member after watching the guide 💜🫶🏻 I’m OT7 which means i love, respect & admire all 7 of them. Jimin is my bias which means I kinda have a stronger connection & affinity with his performances & personality but like him & like all of them, for me BTS is not BTS if not 7. 💜👑 enjoy the journey!

OOFFFF..... Every time that I see someone react to a BTS GUID I'm like: "NOOOO I can't watch this again, it's too long!" BUT I ALWAYS STILL WATCH IT, AND IT ALWAYS MAKES ME CRY... I LOVED your reaction, and how much you really cared about knowing each member, and this is not even half of what they have all been through... This is a very short summary of EVERYTHING, and there's a lot more EVERYTHING! to know about them... I started picking up on BTS only about a year ago, not knowing that some of the songs I really love were created by BTS (I didn't even listen to kpop back then, so obviously I had no idea who they were. It was only after I fell in love with STRAY KIDS that I started to get into kpop more and more, and falling in love with this beautiful music of all these amazing artists, because music is all about feeling and lyrics, especially the lyrics, even if you don't understand the language...), and I'm definitely not a hardcore ARMY yet, because I have a lot to learn about them, and I want to learn more, but from the few information (Cause there's just so much of it!) that I know, I just fell madly in love with their music, and most importantly their message to the world and to their fans, they are remarkable people. When I just started listening to them, I was actually shocked to see how many people hate them, really I WAS SHOCKED because how can you hate someone that's got SO MUCH positivity in every single thing they do or say. I mean I have amazing people around me that show love to the world around them, me included, but I don't know one person that does so much and goes so much out of their way to show other people, not just love for them, but a new way of thinking about self-love, about loving yourself, acceptance and care. They are just a huge inspiration to me and to millions of others. You saw it yourself in the video. ARMY's are organising groups to help others, as a way to spread the love that they received and learned from BTS. ARMY is such an amazing group of people, not only fans, they are truly beautiful people. And BTW, the line 'V' said about the meaning of purple in the rainbow, was made up, he told that during a concert just as a way to show his love for ARMY, and ARMYS took this color to heart and we use it as a real symbol for love and care to others and for BTS themselves. When I learned about it the first time, it was so beautiful to me. ARMYS even make little presents (of the BTS members photocards and other things in it) with the color purple in them at concerts to give to other ARMYS just to show love to one another... I'm really speechless to all of this love that everyone related to BTS is spreading. This is the real power of BTS. LOVE. LOVE YOURSELF (An album they actually have "Love Yourself") and LOVE FOR OTHERS. You should really watch RM's speech in the UN, it will give you goosebumps, and inspiration for the rest of your life. this man is really something else... RM's speech in the United Nations Wow, I love his speech so much! I just listen to it over and over again and get goosebumps every single time. His delivery of the speech, his words, his confidence, it's amazing. This man never stops to impress me. Really. He is such a warm, inviting guy. His words are always so empowering, he always gets you thinking about love, loving life, and just life in general, and you hang on to every word he has to say. RM is a poet at his very core, he always speaks and writes his heart in the most amazing way, using the most interesting lines to describe how he's feeling. And although I am a BABY ARMY, I can share a lot of really good content and music with you, if you want :D

Jungkook was actually 13 when he joined BTS as a trainee in 2011. He was 15 when they debuted June 13, 2013. They have been a group for 10 years now. Jungkook is 25 now. Their ages at debut was 15 to 20. So they are now 25 to 30. Also, I don't think BTS know how to make a bad song. BTS were the first KPOP group to connect with their fans via KZfaq and Vlogs. As well as the first KPOP group to open a twitter account. They did this because their company was small and had no power in the KPOP industry to market BTS, and they couldn't promote BTS well, due to financial issues. Big Hit was small, and they were financially struggling. They had to find other ways to promote themselves, so they turned to social media. It turned out good of course, but when they went to America, they were doing a reality show and recording an album at the same time, and they were so exhausted. It paid off in the long run with their first concert in America with 200 fans present. That was the free concert. Bang PD (CEO and BTS creator) sent them to the USA to do the reality show through MNet, and they learned a lot about the origins of Hip Hop. They got to work with Warren G and other Hip Hop dancers, beatboxers, and vocal teachers. so this was a really good experience for them. They are students of Hip Hop and they debuted as a Hip Hop Idol group. American Hustle Life is the series, and the first two episodes are cringey, but once you get past that, it's really good. There is an interview with Bang PD (Their CEO and creator), where he talks about how they didn't know if they were going to make it. Their Dark and Wild album had to succeed, or BTS would possibly have to disband. This was in 2014, for their 4th album (first full studio album). BTS was recording that album in America, out of a garage, until they got some help from an American producer that let them record in his studio, and they developed a friendship that later turned into more collaborations with his studio that helped to create some of their best songs. The documentary would be a good reaction. You should also do the song ON: Kinetic Manifesto Film, because it's directly related to this. BTS ON: Kinetic Manifesto Film MV - turn on CC's - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nd19lJmY1dWpaX0.html BTS 'ON' - Commentary Film: Dialogue - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNaWppmSy9ytmJ8.html

BTS first traveled to Los Angeles in July 2014 to study Hip Hop from Warren G, Coolio and other great rap legends. They were also on a show called American Hustle Life, which was just a little bit over a year of their debut in June 2013. To make it even harder the only one who was fluent in English was RM. On top of that they had to invite people to their free concert.

They not only give FREE songs on cloud but gave FREE concert to the Army .. concert was streamed live n got crashed coz it was millions watching online apart from 50k armies in the stadium. Which artists do that to their fans???

7:21 that song is theirs and it’s called Euphoria

There is a fan-made documentary series called The Rise of Bangtan, very well made, that follows their story from the beginning until 2018-2019. It is very interesting and entertaining and you can learn a lot about how they got here. Also, their variety show Run BTS is really fun and will help you know their personalities. It’s on KZfaq, on their official BangtanTV page (more than 200 episodes, that I recommend watching in order to get to see the evolution). To be honest there is endless content about them, so you can choose many ways to go about it. You can listen to the music in order, starting from beginning, or just go random (they have hundreds of songs) Starting this year until 2025 they will all enlist for their mandatory military service in Korea (18 months), but even with this, they are enlisting in order, so the ones remaining are releasing solo albums, have collabs with other artists and so on, so the fans are veeery busy with these guys. They are expected to comeback around 2025 as a group (what the company and BTS announced), and they all talk about missing being together on the stage right now. But even in this situation, we got 2 songs released as a group with all 7 in 2023. As you will see, their huge success is a combination of talent, personality, impressive background story- they literally made it against all odds,the fact that they are amazing people, their wholesome relationship with eachother and with their fans. They treat Army like being a part of their team and genuinely care about them. They created a new fandom culture around them and many things you see other K-pop groups doing now started with BTS- like going online, uploading vlogs and stuff- BTS did that because they needed ways to connect since they were not invited on shows, being from a small company. Just subscribed, and I am excited to follow your journey. It was nice to see you enjoy this, feels like watching stuff again with a friend, which is a big reason why people love watching this type of content. Sorry for a huge comment 🙂 Good luck!

You might enjoy The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS (2023 Update!). It talks about the why and how BTS were brought together and their journey using their discography catalog to take your thought their musical journey from their debut to around August 2022. Enjoy.

JungKook is the youngest. BTS is THE KPop group that others emulate. I find it hard to believe Jimin and Jungkook are shy (but they really are). It’s so interesting how charismatic they are on stage. It’s like they were born to perform.

BTS started it all. Earlier idols were just these aloof personalities. BTS came on Live and did so many things. The younger groups now are going the same way and do fun stuff on their Lives.

1:44 jiminie flip in the air!

I know their discography is huge but I hope you get to listen to it all cause it’s so diverse and there’s so many good songs! Plus now that they’re doing their solo work you can really see each member’s style 😎 🎶

BTS was the only Kpop group that kept a closeness with their fans free KZfaq and they still do. That's why BTS has the largest fanbase in kpop now about 60 million+. Now all kpop group started doing it. You should check out the reactor Boracity Magazine she does the history on BTS like; 1) How BTD teamwork make the dream work 2) Why the music industry is terrified of BTS 3) BTS paved the way why is it so hard to accept And there so many videos she did on BTS about financially, BTS agents, business, BTS in military.

BTS never disappoint & extreme talented..Luv them💜💜 RM,SUGA,JHOPE,JIN,JK,V,JIMIN

If you are more into rap, their earlier songs were VERY hip hop and rnb heavy. IMO Dark & Wild is one of their most slept on albums. O! RU L8 2?…..another underrated BTS album with bangers.

43:00 They have a variety show called Run BTS! and in that episode they were playing a game where they had to act out a word and all match each other. The word was Coke and everyone drank a cola except V who opened the can instead, so they lost a point. This show is quite entertaining and I recommend reacting to all 166+ eps from the beginning if you want to learn more about thier personalities and relationship with each other when not singing and dancing.

None of those groups did Lives or reality/variety shows before BTS! BTS we’re the first and they’ve done them since day 1…every other group seemingly does the same thing now!

the song in the background that you liked is called euphoria! it's jungkook's solo song from one of their love yourself albums.

Thanks for the reaction ,bro ❤️‍🩹🫂

Thanks so much for reacting….so good to spread the love around….💜💜💜

#ARMY4LIFE. 59yr old who’s life was changed by BTS! 💜🫰🏻💜🫰🏻💜🫰🏻💜🫰🏻💜🫰🏻💜🫰🏻💜🫰🏻

So much you see in kpop now, BTS pioneered.

Theyvare literally THE BIGGEST & best in the world & not done fam & truly the dopest ,funnest most humble boys ever 🫰 OUT here changing the world & saving lives with a literal #ARMY behind them!!!!there is Noone like them or us 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I'm teacher in elementary school... Indonesia is my Country... Aku sangat mengagumi BTS 💜

Background music by jungkook of bts called Euphoria💜 best of me by bts etc

Remember this are numbers until 2022 for records in albums.

I would say BigBang was a huge kpop male group (BTS love them) when they debuted, but of course there many others too. That clip of them handing out the fliers on the street was when they were filming their reality show in Los Angeles called American Hustle Life in 2014. They came to LA to learn more about hip hop and they got meet Coolio and Warren G. Juice WRLD was also on a song with BTS (RM and Suga) on their BTS WORLD original soundtrack called All Night. I think it's easy to say parents should support their children's dreams but when there is probably a 1 percent chance your kid will make it you might be a little weary to lend your full support. Xenophobia is basically prejudice against people from other countries.

This VIDEO is not New but it is the BEST VIDEO OF ALL to meet BTS and ARMY this VIDEO is SACRED 🙏🇰🇷💜 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜OT7 FOREVER 🫰💜🫶

Jungkook is always trending on every platform. For doing random things 😂. And anything he uses got soldout immediately. He loves singing so much

The age hierarchy is pretty rigid in Korea and it even goes as far as the language you use. Even if the person you're talking to is just one year older, you have to address them differently. Even if you're friends. BTS are pretty much brothers and even here the younger members use honorifics and polite language with the older members a lot of the times. They can get away with it if they don't and can joke around about it, but even then, they tend to stick with the cultural norm. It's really ingrained in them.

12:40 this video is from 2021 RM now has 217 song copyright Credits under him ( the youngest to do so)

Jimin❤

The last few concerts sold out in fan club membership presale before even getting to verified fan presale much less general sales. And even paying for fan club membership doesn't guarantee a ticket...it only ensures you'll be able to apply for the presale *lottery*... and if you win the lottery, that only gets you a presale code! You still have to get into Ticketmaster during the presale and hit buttons as fast as you can to try and nab a good seat before anyone else. 😭

I'm really glad you did this reaction and I'm glad you got most of the information. There were times when you seemed really distracted and we could tell you were missing pieces of information. An excellent follow up for this would be The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS by Rice Squad. There is some crossover info but lots of different info that will amaze you. He details a lot of info about their accomplishments and ride over their ten years.

Thank you for watching this video, you now have an idea of where they came from and know how they persevered through 10 years of adversity which by the way still continues. ARMY will always accept those who respect the tannies, interestingly enough - BTS finds you when you need them most. The door to the Magic Shop is always open to those who need to feel loved and respected and accepted. BTS LITERALLY saved my life when it was the darkest time for me. I wish everyone in the world could know this feeling of being accepted and loved into a family that is worldwide. BTS is so wholesome and truly loves ARMY. They don't deserve the hate that they get, because all they ever did was spread positive energy. BORAHAE💜

Jimin is my bias..

Welcome to Army. Keen to see your journey down BTS rabbit hole. I purple you💜💜 53 yr old Army Cape Town South Africa

jimin ❤❤❤❤

Korea from today work with the international age finally 🙌 Fortunately not all bts's parents were unsupportive Jungkook, V ,jimin and jhope their parents were supportive from the beginning 💜

Greetings from Australia... Thank you for sharing your BTS journey with us..... Not sure if you know.... Korean people count age differently to others... Korean Age vs International Age - difference is 1-2 years depending on if their birthday has been.... In most videos, including this one, they are giving Korean ages so you will need to adjust. (So JK was only 13 when he joined Big Hit and 15 when he debuted. ) In Korea when you are born you are considered 1 year old. Then on 01 Jan every year you add another year to your age, no matter what your birthdate is. .... Year of birth - International age at Debut on 13June13 (Year and age became trainee) Jin 1992 - 20 yo (2011 - 18yo) Suga 1993- 20 yo (2011 - 17yo) JHope 1994 - 19 yo (2011 - 17yo) RM 1994 - 18 yo (2010 - 15yo) Jimin 1995 - 17 yo (2012 - 16yo) V 1995 - 17 yo (2011 - 15yo) JK 1997 - 15 yo (2011 - 13yo) Rule of thumb - if it's before their birthday - subtract 2 years to get international age. if it's after their birthday - subtract 1 year to get their international age. EG: TaeHyung (V) born 30 Dec 1995 ...... current International Age 27 (Korean Age 29). ... 2 years difference So Tae born 30 Dec 95 is 1 year old, then on 01 Jan 96 he is 1 more year older (so they would say he is 2 years old, when we would say he is 2 days old.) So he was considered 29 in Korea since 01 January, we would say he is 27 turning 28 in Dec. It's a different way of looking at age, from new years day - Tae is living his 29th year (since conception) - instead of - he turned 27 (since birth).... The Korean Government is recently bringing international age as the standard in Korea, but all older videos will be referencing Korean age. 💜Borahae

V was hidden because he was so talented and beautiful that BigHit wanted to keep him under cover so he wouldn't be stolen by another company. Jin is WWH, V is the ranked Most Handsome Man in the World in many polls.

Yay I love this reaction B. Thanks for putting a smile on my face for a hour BTS has helped me out a lot so to see my fav reactor watching my fav K-pop group made my day 🫶🏽🙏🥰 also for those who don’t know hope this helps xenophobia means- dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries in other words fear and hatred of strangers or foreigners or of anything that is strange or foreign

All the records and info is googlable. They are real and legit💜

Plssss react to bts in award shows moments

They still go live with us constantly & talk to us in stats & are holding us over in solos until 2025 ,our Jin & jhope are doing their military service right now (😭😭) they truly are the best humans yo. .& you could be doing their content for the next 5 years & not be thru it all 🫰 NOONE on earth like them & army trust me when I tell you that 💜

It's rly late here, I should go to bed. Okay, just 58 mins more... 😂💜 Loved this, thanks.

You should watch their performances at the music awards all are amazing. My favourite is MMA 2019 (it is a longer video but so good). I have been so lucky to see them in concert 3 times and no words to describe how amazing it was and the atmosphere was electric, especially when the army chant started. I look forward to seeing your journey into the rabbit hole. I am 50 proud ARMY from the UK 💜💜

PARK JIMIN is my ultimate bias and bias wrecker. He is also a GLOBAL AMBASSADOR to DIOR and TIFFANY AND CO.

I'm Asian, and have same problem with Yoongi 😅 that's why he is my Bias.

All of them ambassadors

In the last 2 years they have broken alot of their own records

This video is the best! But I just want to point out that she forgot to mention that RM's 148 IQ is genius level but Jimin and Jungkook both have an IQ of 128 which is pretty high too. I don't know about all members but Taehyung and Suga seems to have an IQ above average too. She said that Jungkook is good in everything but she forgot to say that Jin also is good in almost every sports, he also can play the piano and guitar! And even tho it's "accurate as of May 2022" It's still not updated because with BTS you basically can't have an updated version for a long time. If you want an accurate update of BTS you would have to add another 5 Minutes every other week because they are working so much that they achieve something new every other week. For example as of May till now, they again released multiple solo albums, other projects, won many awards and broke records. And if you want detailed videos about each member it would have been a 1 hour video for every single one (probally longer LOL) Update: as of Dec 2022, BTS hold the record of the 4th most awarded artist in the world with 900+ awards. But awards and first places are stolen from them. I urge you to watch the information videos by Boracity Magazine: BTS vs radio BTS vs Spotify BTS vs attendance award shows BTS vs boybands coming back Why the music industry is terrified of bts why the boyband "hiatus" doesn't apply to bts

V (kim taehyung) is the most famous or loved bts member. Most followed on Instagram....

BTS is a 7 member group who is now in their 10th year with a 350+ track discography largely written and produced by the members themselves conjoined by their inhouse producers. The leader 'RM' has 210+ credits making him the youngest most credited artist in Korea and the rest of the members are not far behind. BTS is known for being extremely profound at articulating what they introspect and composing it into the sound they with their artistic knowledge believe will deliver the emotion of their lyricsm. They began with their roots in hiphop but have experimented their way into currently having above 10+ genres in their discography with the main being hiphop, pop, r&b and electronic, but majority of the time its a fusion of these genres, or their subgenres. Like latin pop, old school hiphop with boom bap, rap rock, dance pop, ballads, emo hiphop, jazz etc. Since they articulate so well, their music is very human oriented adressing extreme mental health issues (all they way from comforting, motivating, to eery delivery with raw mvs that youtube asks for viewers discretion), sociopolitical commentary etc. Their discography shows the growth from school boys to the tribulations of youth, to addressing temptation, to reaching maturity, to loving onself, to finding the core essence of the mind (i work in the field of psychology and i have yet to find an artist that is as profound as bts in accurately potraying psychological themes) to fighting the pandemic to now doing solo albums as each of the bts members complete their mandatory military. They will come back as a group in 2025!

Maybe you don't understand V was trying to say ... for fans, bts known to be 6 members.... then turn out to be 7 because of him..since he is a hidden member ,but he is first to joined to bts than jimin yet he introduced to the fans to be the 7 th member...last to be intruduced

Thank you for your reaction 💜

Welcome to ARMY, Bran!

Suga loves basketball, he is now the NBA World Ambassador.

Oh woah what beautiful eyes you have, they are stunning.

I guess you were talking about Girl of my dreams, juice wrld and suga, I love that song so much, it's such a beautiful song ❤

The way this fandom works it's not a surprise that you didn't hear about V/Kim Taehyung🧍🏽‍♀️i hate to say but armys really sometimes or most of the time ignore tae's projects so no wonder people hardly notice him

As of 2023 they have 950 Awards and maybe more

The look on your face when Jimin shows up. Gold. I don't think you're hungry for food so much as you're hungry for Jimin. I could be wrong. 😂

great video it was a joyful one hour tysm borahae💜

In June 2022 BTS announced they were taking a semi hiatus from group activity to concentrates on solo projects full albums solo appearances solo concert tours. Later in the year it was decided that all members of BTS along with their solo project. would enlist in the military to fulfill their mandatory obligation men in South Korea. RM is not going to enlist in the military instead he was appointed as a civilian ambassador to the people for a special division of the Department of Defense which is responsible for working with families of soldiers killed in the Korean War 1950-1953. The department also is responsible for searching and excavating old battle sites to recover still missing South Korean soldiers. RM previously released two solo mix tapes. But in December 2022 he released his first actual solo album. Suga AKA Agust D previously released two mix tapes Agust D Agust D and D2 recently in the last four months he released his first solo album D-Day on 17th of June he finished up his solo concert tour. Likely because of his past struggles with OCD depression and social anxiety he is not serving in the military instead he is working as and civilian counselor and social worker. J hope previously had one solo mix tape. But in August of 2022 he released his first solo album jack-in-the-box. In 2022 he performed as a solo act and sold out a Sunday at Lollapalooza 2022. Jay Holt recently enlisted in the South Korean military to fulfill his no mandatory obligation I believe it was in April.

Gracias por reaccionar amis hermosos niños de bts (MAMA ARMY 52AÑOs) me encanto tu reaccion .nueva supcriptora espero mas reacciones a el mejor grupo del mundo mundial😂 un saludo desde chile.

Thanks for watching this video, and learning more about BTS Their very early days were hard, but the shots on the streets of America are just slightly misleading - they did happen ,but were part of a BTS reality show called American Hustle Life. Some of that was hard to watch, but some changes to production were made (I believe) and it became a very wholesome learning experience from which BTS still retain warm friendships. In fact their origins lie in Big Hit training studios, and life in America was actually a lot easier, even though it was hard work. Run down, cold, damp and dingy and most probably smelly, the Seoul studio with the leaky roof was the cradle of BTS we now know. They would work all day, attend certain classes such as singing class, grooming class etc, do their vlogs, work with producers and choreographers, and try to sneak a nap. They'd go early in the morning, not much after dawn and work until late at night, at which point RM and Suga would start their song writing. In prep for a new song or performance, t was common for them to practice for 16 hours a day or more (now usually manage to get it done in 8 hours/day perhaps for a week). No one slept much, and would get dragged out of bed to get back to the studio, where they would try to hide in the bathroom to snatch a nap. There are shots of all of them just lying asleep on the studio floor because of exhaustion. Despite their hopes, there were so many more fears. Apart from BTS, Big Hit had only one other artist - a respected vocalist, but not a massive name as far as I know. In Kpop, bands have to show they can earn VERY quickly. Most bands that debut are ditched within 3 months because they don't earn enough fast enough. It may have changed now, but a few years ago those who didn't make it were still contracted to repay all their costs to the company - BH never had that arrangement, I think the first to forego it). As well as knowing how precarious it was, BTS (still in their teens) knew that ALL the finances of the company (and all the jobs) depended on them becoming successful, which was by no means a given. Most of them had no experience in at least 50% of the job when they started training - Jin had never sung OR danced - so they felt very insecure - but determined. I can't help feeling for the depth of the anxiety they had to carry then and being amazed by the emotional maturity and resilience they had to show at such young ages. Bang Si Hyuk has since said that he felt he might have been too greedy and hard on them: he did not at first realise himself, but later said that he eventually he understood that the passion he saw in their eyes was desperation. He may, himself, also have been desperate. Despite his possible reservations now, they have the most amazing relationship. In Korea it's not common for a CEO of a company to be close to an artist, but they treat each other almost like family. BSH is known to be humble (queuing for BTS tickets and merch along with fans etc, appearing at Lollapaloosa in shorts and crocks, and just standing in the crowd). There's no doubt he's a tough cookie in business, but his personality seems very down to earth. I read somewhere that when he was choosing trainees he looked for the right personality as much as (or more than) skill and talent. That is incredible, and wise. Not all Kpop bands get on, there are egos and resentment, and attitudes. But BTS all love each other like brothers : like brothers they fight and irritate each other, they fall out, and make up: they tell us about it, and we've seen it in the countless fly-on-the-wall films of them backstage, in practice, and on their shows. There is Soooo Much footage - they are on camera nearly all the time, so now they don't even notice cameras - for them to hide very much at all. There is no ego (certainly not about work), no attitude (apart from a grump or two, usually soon over), and no resentment: in fact they will fall over themselves to give support and reassurance. Wish my family was half like this. Despite the relatively recent rise of BTS, and what you say about the pandemic making ARMY closer to BTS - we were always close. It has now been 13 years since training started - that's nearly half the age of our youngest, and all the members were in their teens. Because BTS were promoting their plans even during the training period - releasing music free for fans, doing Vlogs and other work, many ARMYs [though not me] were fans even before their debut, so they literally watched BTS grow up. RM, Suga and J-hope all had to deal with Parental disapproval. Rm's mother destroyed his mic because she wanted him to study more, Suga's mum burned a stack of his music and songs for the same reason. While J-hope's mum supported him and took a second job to pay for his dance classes (see his song Mama, which is a tribute to her), his dad did not approve of his desire to work as a dancer. Other parents were unusually supportive (perhaps). JK's parents agreed for him to join training when he was only 13 years old, V's dad not only told him he could aim to be a singer as a career but insisted he must learn an instrument too, but (despite lack of funds) managed to buy him a saxaphone. When he eventually accompanied his friend to the Big Hit audition and was asked to try out, before accepting the chance, he phoned his dad and asked if it was all right - he was told to do his best. Jin's parents were better off, but his mum sent them regular food parcels in training and I think also gave him some kind of allowance to help out. I think that Asian parents are deeply motivated by love and fear. Life in Korea (Asia overall perhaps) is tough if you don't have some serious money behind you and/or connections. In addition, Korea was recovering from a brutal civil war only 70 years ago - people were starving - and they are still at war with the North. They all lived under military rule for decades, growth was pretty minimal, and the regime was pretty brutal with no press freedom and very harsh punishments, not always based on proper judicial process. In the 1980s there was more hunger when the currency collapsed and the IMF had to bail out the country : ordinary people (though probably not the very wealthy) donated their gold to help the country recover, and people worked their ass off, organised communal food purchases and kitchens to feed the community. Then, after a lot of unrest and protests which were harshly suppressed, in 1988 the military regime was ousted. There was censorship of SONGS until the 1990s. I quite honestly do get fed up by some of the demands of older people or the more powerful for respect and obedience, and some parents do in fact seem to be toxic, but by far the most are just loving and caring and want the best in a harsh world. However, I also think that the forebearance children learn, and the patience and tolerance can actually show us in the west so much to learn. They are not perfect at all, but have many qualities, not least is a great joy in life.

Thank you for giving my boys a chance💜 They are living legends as they say..ones who paved the way for k-pop globally.. *Ps: you have pretty eyes! They are captivating ngl😊*

BTS is now taking a break as a group and do a solo project for preparing themselves for enlisting in Military service. BTS will be reunite as a group in year 2025. But bts is still and very active thanks to their Lovely fandom army and their pre recording videos So before bts get famous the most famous kpop group befor them is actually EXO, and when bts win their first award many people from different company and group complain that why exo or any kpop group did'nt won but instead the smallest company and group "BTS" So the two members of bts Jhope and Jin is now in military and other members will follow soon, all members has a solo album. It was believe that RM will be next in military it because in BTS 10th anniversary he talks about enlisting in military very soon

7:20 its Euphoria from Jungkook🧡

Tnx u for reaction the bts💜💜💜

Unfortunately many reactors overlook V. They don't listen to his voice and his songs. They don't pay attention when watching introduction either. All of OT7 are talented and the best. You need to listen to V's solo work and his songs if not you have not appreciated BTS .

There are a big screen where the put the lyrics to Young Forever in Korean, Bts staff and Armys did this to surrprise Bts

14:00 btw, Juice has second song with RM and Suga - All night, it was released several years ago as part of the soundtrack for the bts game.

I am 56 years old from Canada

Bts company Big Hit/Hybe is the biggest Music company now in Korea

Another video that I've watched so many times now, and always love watching again with people when they're discovering it😊 My understanding is that because these guys couldn't get any airtime or real recognition in S Korea, they decided to reach out to people their own way. Through their personal posts, their variety show (Run BTS), putting out music for their fans, and stuff like that. That proved to have a very successful outcome for them and now all the K Pop bands do it. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I believe they were the beginning of that trend. They're the best!!!💜

56:48 now you know why so many of us can't live without BTS, they're daily serotonin!
