Most of them were teenagers and as usual for BTS they wrote about what they were feeling at the time. Compared to some US songs about women this is absolutely nothing. They took a lot of flack for this one and RM even suffered from depression over it. To ARMY it is a cute song that is very catchy, it showed that they had normal teenage emotions.

I actually love War Of Hormones. I don't really understand where the hate was coming from.

Rappers call women bi#ches and everyone ok with that, but when kpop idols talking about how sexy women are people are so mad.

Bts got a lot of hate because of this song. I don’t have a problem with it but many people do.

RM wrote the song and suffered for it. He and BTS were accused of misogyny to the point where he went into a deep depression and now checks his lyrics with a woman's study professor to make sure they are not offensive. What makes me mad about this is he was a teenager. What the hell was he supposed to be writing about other than girls looking good in high heels, etc.? (Supreme Boi, PDogg, Suga and Hobi also co-wrote with RM)

Bts were accused of misogyny at that time..RM confessed that he was shocked by the reaction of people and that made him tensed and frustrated..He said that after war of hormones for every song that he wrote he became extremely careful and often consulted experts for tracing any elements of misogyny or any offending elements ..That's makes them special..they admit their faults and unlearn what is necessary 💜💜💜

Rm J-Hope Suga helped write it. I love it. Many were angry. I think it’s a hyperbolic song making fun of how young guys act goofy around girls. People take things too seriously.

DT, You Should Watch "War Of Hormone" Dance Practice, It's Hilarious...Also..."War Of Hormone" Halloween...It's Hilarious & Cute In Their Costumes...lol......BTS Did Have Some Controversy Over This Song, Relating To Women...

I don't see anything bad with the lyrics, they are just appreciating the woman's beauty. Maybe it was a shock with the Korean culture but I think it's in the past and now they are more open minded

The title "War of Hormones" says it all. They had a lot of backlash from the lyrics of this song which is part of the hardships and struggles they went through in their early years. Because they were criticized so much, RM felt depressed and I believe that he wanted to run through some lyrics to other song with a professor of women's studies before putting out future songs related to the opposite sex. (ARMY please elaborate if you got more info.) Nevertheless, the song is definitely catchy and a part of their journey and learning experience into becoming who they are today: BTS. Like RM said during his UN speech: "...I'm learning to embrace who I was, who I am and who I will become..." 😭 Embracing his past, present and future ➡ the map of his Soul!!...the road to "individuation" as defined by Psychologist Carl Jung ➡ inspiration for their current album: Map of the Soul 7. Everything connects! Music & Art for healing...Bighit's intro for every MV since their debut in 2013. 😭👍💜🎶 #ARMYsince2014

It was a fun early song meant to portray how young males view girls, much in line with Boy In Luv. Certain antis, most notably EXO fans and SM Entertainment , perceiving BTS might challenge EXO for attention and even predominance spread a rumor of misogyny on BTS's part. School boy imagery was already being subjected to plagiarism accusations by SM and these antis so this hit BTS, particularly RM hard. This song has basically hit the trash heap in response and in my view needs resurrection. It is a statement on the folly of young guys, not girls per se. The recent juxtaposition of Boy IN Luv with Boy With Luv bespeaks how BTS now wants to make the contrast between youthful love and mature love part of their messaging.

There are 3 versions of the dance practice to this song!!! Check out all 3 versions if you get a chance!! ➡ "Real WAR" version ➡ Halloween version ➡ normal version (outside on grass) 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

It’s from DARK & WILD album and the album talks about teenagers and their feeling and rebelling so it fits the concept And they get so much hate for it but I love it and Tae look so fine in it

They were literally teenage boys(JK was still 16),it could have been a whole lot worse. I actually like it, and am not bothered by it as a woman.Kind of ridiculous that they got hate for something so comparatively mild & definitely not overly serious.

I think they were being very frank with the title... war of hormones. At that young age, hard to control one's hormone...

This song got so much backlash for no reason other than people were looking for anything to hate on BTS with. There were plenty of other Kpop songs at the time that used even worse terms and analogies for women and no one got upset over those to the same extent. Plus some American music talks about women in bad ways yet tons of people still hype those kinds of songs. I think this song is sweet yet sassy cuz the lyrics are either a full poetic verse or simply playful. The term boys will be boys comes to mind, they were only expressing very trufully what young men feel and struggle with. Also people rarely criticize girls for calling guys hot or handsome in songs, the double standard is real. Their concept at the beginning had been them being "bad boys" or "delinquents" (Reason for them being so outspoken, seen dressed in leather/chains/messy school uniforms, or being rough with girls) and it carries on into their Bangtan Universe, thus the reason I will say all their videos connect. The first school trilogy albums set up the characters of the boys before having to grow and deal with more adult life problems. Also there is connecting footage from the "Danger" MV shown later in the WINGS short films, as well as many early album/MV references in RM's Persona, Suga's Shadow, and JHope's Ego, and among other era MV's.

I'm female and I love this song. Boys fancy girls, so what? I always thought of it as a homage to female beauty and desirability. The boys make it clear that the girl has the final say. I would have gone for Jimin myself!

They say the BTS response to this song's bad reception was their song called 21st Century Girl. Toooootal opposite of this song 😄💜

Talking about the reaction back then. At that time people in Korea, in general were arguing about sexism and some extreme people were offended by this song bcz it was talkng about female's attractive appearance like the physical things. Also for them, this song kinda look like the song was framing. The typical type of women. Even though this song was all about praising female, but for some people it didn't sound right. I love this song though. As a female I feel flattered. 😋

I really love how you can see how much they have grown from young boys to admirable men over the years. They were just teenagers when they wrote this song and really didn't deserve the intense backlash they received for it. Yes, even 17-year-old me was put off by the lyrics when the song was first released but I knew that they had no ill intentions. Seeing how they really took the criticism (and hate) seriously and reflected on how some people misinterpreted it really shows how much they listen and care about the messages they share with the world. As others have mentioned, Namjoon contacted a professor of women studies to educate him and to review his lyrics to prevent a situation like this from happening again. Not many artists (especially western artists who proudly objectify women) would own up to their mistakes and learn from them as they have.

I always take this as sarcastic and self deprecating fun. Basically making fun of adolescent boys dealing with their hormone issues. I know there was alot of backlash for it and claiming it was misogynistic, but I never saw it that way.

"This is easily the most sexual song I've heard from them" *Expensive Girl and Trouble has left the chat* Ps they were accused of having misogynistic lyrics and Namjoon got depressed. As a woman, personally, I had no issues with it. It's actually one of my faves.

The most sexual song you ever heard from them... Hurm wait til you hear *ex-* .. never mind hahaha Personally I'm okay with this song... Come on guys.. every straight male teenagers had this phase in life.. BTS just write this song at that stage of their life.. just be real

I think it's important to remember the context of when this song came out, what was happening around them & influencing them. I know this song received a lot of criticism, but I still do like it. Watching them grow from hormonal young boys to the beautiful young men they have become is part of the journey.

DT : "Now I'm curious who wrote this song???" Me : *Of course!!! My guy... RMMMM!!!*

Anyone getting on them for this song are pearl clutching flakes. Still love this song and nothing is wrong with it. Also ignore anyone bringing up a song called Expensive Girl it was a cover RM did when he was younger and didn’t write it. You should if you can react to the Real War dance practice version of this song as well as the Halloween version!.

The song perfectly represents War of hormones. It's difficult to control hormones at young age Western act talk about Sex called women btches All are fine with them but hypocrisy with Kpop. They can't talk about how attractive women are. I find this song cute, whole bop. I love how bts always openly talk about how they feel at that time. The theme was School, Adult, love, breakup they done it perfectly

Old but gold. Really love this song! WOH is part of their DARK &WILD album and and fits the theme perfectly. P.s. react to all their songs OFF of DARK & WILD, their first full length album.

This is the mv that make taehyung my bias and I watched it in 2018 thats how powerful woh era taehyung is

I was just thinking about kanye's" I love it" were the only lyrics are "your such a f**&% h*e , I love it" and seriously war of hormone is far away better. They were just teenagers and well that's how we sometimes feel at those times 😂 But yeah RM learned from this...

Please stay healthy everyone! COVID-19 is having a tour ! It's seems we have a long way to go with this VIRUS!! PLEASE STAY SAFE FAM... DT notification is ON and love ur reaction.. mmuuaahhh

Still to this day I have problems understanding who the hell would feel offended by being called beautiful and the best gift in the world because me as a woman I'm not offended, not even a little bit. And they've probably never seen a teenage boy either...

"They are being very very upfront about their.. sexual.. desires.." LOL, for almost five years I've been looking for the right thing to say about War of Hormone, and you've just said it.. ^^ Love your reactions!

Bro you came at the right time, shit is getting real in Seattle and am scared as hell please stay safe. Love you man.💜💜💜💜 Best song to listen to during a pandemic.💜💜💜💜💜

I love Suga's part here.

When jk sang he is 18, he was only 16. Haha

This song personally is my fav MV i mean it makes me smile and i just love the dance and the way the MV is made also this was the MV that made RM become one of my main bias wreckers (him in that suit i still cant get over)

Personally I love the song, I wasn’t in the fandom at that time but once I heard it I really liked it hahaha

"War of Hormones" is from their Dark &Wild album. This song was accused of being misogynistic with lyrics "women are the best gift" and that they (women) "should wear high heels more often". Haters/Netizens thought BTS was objectifying women. BTS and BH apologize heavily for this song since that was not their intention and took full responsibility... RM has told us in Vlive that he is very conscious and second guesses himself a lot(gets very anxious). That he sends all of his lyrics to a feminist professors for review because he felt so bad for the song (WoH). Songwriter: Pdogg, SupremeBoi, RM, Suga, and Jhope... But their entire Dark&Wild album is a huge controversy with its theme and lyrics... truly its a gem but its very underrated. As for BTS being forward with their sexuality... you should really review RM's first mixtape and BTS pre-debut music. And for fun you should watch/react to A VERY RANDOM AND UNHELPFUL GUIDE TO BTS PERVERTED LINE for a good laugh.

It's nice to watch at their old MV's. They were all young back then and they were all good ever since. They've come a long way to where they are now. Friendship/brotherhood and as a family they grow and succeeded on their craft. It's nice to see them all conquering the world together as one. God bless you BTS on your journey. Suga is so cute in this MV...all of them are cute.

I absolutely love this song. It's one of my very favorites and is one of the reasons I fell in love with them. And IMO all 3 of the dance practices are just as amazing as this video and should not be missed.

It's called War of Hormones for a reason! Being a mother of two growing daughters I don't get those who got offended by the lyrics because this what teenagers go through at that point of time and BTS has always been honest with their feelings 💕 I loved your reaction 😂

I'm fall im love with bangtan because this song. Because the expression from V / KIM TAEHYUNG and the others .i love it.

It is based on their album of skool and youth, stuff younger generation’s perspective (boys). This song is brilliant in portraying and playing within their theme of an album..

this song is one of their dopest song ever! I love the beat actually and the dance are wicked! 😂🤗

They were accused of mysogony. Putting RM in depression.

Great song and MV! Obvious what it's about, the title tells us and the lyrics confirm it...their war with their raging hormones. Fun and inoffensive, especially in this day and age.

This caught you off guard and im living for it lmao, teen bts was wild WILD. 😂

LOL💜 you need to react to BTS misheard lyrics IT IS HILARIOUS!!! 😂 ( the way i snorted when he said Namjoon wouldn't write this💀)

War of Hormone was the first BTS song i listened too many many years ago. (Now i feel old 😂) and i loved it. They did get some backlash over it but ARMYs understood that it was part of a concept about being young boys. Also, as soon as RM came on the screen i knew he'd be my bias. 💜

So the war of hormones aren't really coming from them or their opinion, the lyrics are based on the young boys that think that way that are going through hormonic etc, or practically just men, they may seem uncomfortable but they are really meaningful, I just done some research right now, and they are basically putting it out there, it's not their way of thinking, it's kinda hard to explain, I can't find the write words for this.

This song makes me blush and i love it

No matter what...this song is a BOP💜

BTS had a reality show in LA called American Hustle Life. And they recorded a lot of the album Danger there. One of the songs the rap line wrote was War of Hormone. Bts are always pretty honest in their lyrics & a lot of fans speculated this sing was inspired by some of the things they experienced in LA on that show. Ahem... Anyways they were honest how they were feeling & kinda rosted themselves & how some dudes act & feel about women. I’m not saying there aren’t problems in this song with objectifying women. But a lot of antis & feminists in Korea really can for BTS again not saying it wasn’t warranted just that it seemed over the top. Anyways this was a learning experience for them especially RM who went on to say he consults with a women’s studies Professor when he writes lyrics. Although they have stayed away from these kind of topics since that incident

If you've never heard anything like this from them is because back then this song wasn't well accepted by public and the media, it actually created a lot of issues for Bighit and the members, specially RM for the lyrics of the song. But this song also made them grow and develop as a group, and as songwriters; basically their career as individuals and as a group also changed a lot because of this song.

They have a couple of thirsty songs so it's not the only one. People said it backlash, depression, learning experience, female university teacher.. For me the "I burst my pimple" verse say it all, it's a fun song about hormone. But yeah they learned so just after they released 21th century girls, check it, it's super interesting how they learned from this one.

i am a girl and i friken love this song!! i dont understand why people freak out about it bacause american artist say thing a lot worse!!! but yah this is one of my all time fav songs! its even my youtube channel intro!!

I really love your facial expression 🤣🤣🤣 this is one of my fav bts mv hahaha

War of Harmone is such a Game changer. I hope they will come out with a similar song to this with the grit, power and bars. Yeah I’m this song it seems that they were thirsty so ppl hated but they will do it anyways. So let’s goooo( the songs is to intense full with energy I love it)

I love this live! They have so much fun with it

The dance practice, the real war version is hillarious.

The song is cute and tons of women love it. Their boyish, kind of innocent charm is so natural and sincere. We need more fun songs. There is too much sadness and depression nowadays that we should appreciate this little ray of sunshine.

BTS theme is always to portrait the stages of life like student life then teenage life and so on , so this is just the song which display one of the stage of men's puberty . I love this song it's very catchy I don't feel that there is any sexuality abusing compared to other songs where they use all kind of words

BTS wrote this song after their experience on American Hustle Life. When they worked with Warren G he had them cast some attractive local women to be in an MV reshoot for "Boy in Luv," and basically one or two whole episodes is about shooting that MV and how nervous they were around such beautiful women - JK couldn't stop sweating and when the girls would talk to him he would just apologize and run away squeaking unintelligibly, Tae was introducing the girl he cast trying to be all swag about it but when she hugged him he went "EEEEEEEE" mid-sentence, even Yoongi mentioned not being able to talk to them and constantly asking for water. It was goddamn adorable and I love that this song came out of it, it's one of my favorites in their discography (both musically and the MV and even the dance practices are legendary meme material), so it makes me extra mad that they got a bunch of hate being "misogynists" & "objectifying women" when there's literally euphemisms for jerking off in the lyrics. Like THEY WERE TEENAGE BOYS OF COURSE THEY'RE HORNY AND THINKING ABOUT GIRLS.

They are only expressing themselves they are human they are not perfect people I love BTS I dont about those haters .. they make good music...I purple you BTS. Thank you DT Parker for watching this video..

honestly, this is The BTS song that i didnt download for our driving music, because my kids are still underage and there is no way i could listen to this with them around:D but what i see is a process, a journey...and how they made their journey meaningful and inspiring by simply being true to themselves....making mistakes, own the mistakes and learn from those. without this song, BTS is not the the today BTS.

AY NOTIFICATION SQUAD !! 💗💗💗 THIS MV ACTUALLY KILLED ME THE First time I watched it and let me tell you I LOST MY SHIT 🥺😭😍 LOVED YOUR REACTION 🔥✊🏼💗❤️

I love war of ormone, they were boys and that was their point view also is so upbeat!

If you remembered the BTS crash course you reacted 2 months ago, you will see the phases they went through and that they have talked about it in their albums. The phases from being schoolboys, teenagers who are attracted to the opposite sex, and to becoming mature people where they appreciate the small things in Boy with Luv. As what other ARMYs were saying here in the comment section that they received a lot of hate because of this specific song, even calling our boys "perverts".

This song real war version of the dance practice is awesome

"This doesn't sound like something RM would write" Me: points you to Expensive Girl by RM.......all joking aside, a group of people demanded an apology for the lyrics of this song, saying that it was misogynistic....It devastated RM....he fell into a deep depression over it....ever since he has been so very careful about the lyrics that he consults professors of women's studies, etc to make sure his lyrics are ok and won't offend anyone. Personally, I have never had a problem with this song. What was supposed to be a fun/ catchy song describing teen boys' real struggle with their hormones during puberty turned into a nightmare for them. :(

BTS has always had a lot of skills and they are really great😍

I'M FINE - BTS. LIVE PERFOMANCE

It's one of my favorite songs☺

This is one of my favourite song of BTS..a dope...💜😘..I love everything about this song n mv

This song as others have pointed out, is simply a representation of what young boys go through during puberty. It's not exactly their own personal views. But many have taken it as such that made it seem the boys are disrespecting women. This is from their 1st studio album "Dark and Wild" which was released after their School Trilogy albums (first single album"2Cool 4 Skool" , 1st EP "O!RUL8,2?"and 2nd EP "Skool Luv Affair"). BTS have played with concepts since debut and just from the album title, you know they'll be talking about the youth going thru a dark and wild phase. But just the same, RM was traumatised with all the bashing and made sure he had a woman professor check his succeeding lyrics to make sure he's not offending anybody. I'm a woman but i have no problems with the lyrics. The antis are simply jumping on opportunities to drag them.

Despite all the backlash on this song, it still remains one of my FAVORITE songs of all time by them 😔❤️❤️ this is such an honest and unfiltered side of them. They are men! And it makes me sad that they don’t make songs like this when every other artist does without consequences

I loved it so much the first time I head it ... It's a good song.

I love this song.

I like the song especially since I believe it was written with teenage boys and/or young men in mind about how women effect them. I find the humor in this song/video. Lighten up everyone!

For Real 'this is one of my FAVORITE BTS song 😅💜

" War of Hormone " no tiene en absoluto nada malo , refleja emoción y sentimientos normales en esa etapa de la adolescencia .

I literally wished u'd react to this MV, and you did! Wow.

It's just a part of their storyline as every teannger male go through this life..as school trilogy and their youth and attractions all..so it's was fun

I heared they got a lot of hate because of this, even though the song is called "war of hormones" even Hopi's part say he feels like that and then go to brust a pimple... they didn't get the song. Feeling like this is pretty normal for teens due to hormones. Shame they didn't do a song like this again, It is very very catchy i love it and "boy in luv" way more than the softer songs they did like boy with luv.

They wrote this song right after their time on American Hustle Life. There they got to learn how to interact and flirt with women. Something that is never seen with male idols. As male Idols, they are essentially expected to hide any sexual desires they would feel for anyone because there is this unspoken thing in the Kpop industry where the only "relationship" they have is between them and their fans. Which is also why a lot of kpop Idols are not allowed to date and why it's made into such a scandal if there's even a dating rumour. That's why this song is called "War of Hormone". Its because in their daily lives, they are not allowed to show that they have these hormones even though it's natural that they do. BTS' experience on AHL was so different and meaningful for them because they got permission to explore and express who they were as young men. This song came to be because BTS shot an LA version of Boy in Luv with some beautiful women they casted on the street. They were so shy around these women and seriously did not know how to act around them. After this song was released, the reactions towards this song were very negative. This was still at the time they were considered "rookie" Idols. So they were getting a lot of hate towards them because they were so against the grain of everyone else and this song is a clear example of that. And because they were also part of a very small company, they were easy targets for their haters.

Now when RM writes songs referencing women he makes sure to check with a women studies professor. You will also notice now that the boys now take care to respect their individual sexual preferences and privacy. For example, American interviewers often ask if they have any “girlfriends” but RM usually just says that they love ARMY. Also, to include all ARMYs, RM responded to a certain interviewer saying the words “If we were to have a boyfriend or girlfriend...” To me, this shows their growth as a group and as amazing individuals who respect all sexualities and women

This song I really love it when first time I watching you should react this song dance practices

You should react to their dance practices of the songs, that will help you see the complete choreography and you'll notice how synchronized they are!!! 😊

I'll be real at first I was shocked but then I couldn't stop listening to it. 😁😁💜💜 Got to love BTS

Hey it’s part of their concept album about the late teen years of battling male hormones and angsts that’s normal but cringed upon if spoken about as in this song.

It's s one of my favourites songs. I love the beat, vocals,rap, lyric and dance. where I'm from, most of the songs talks about woman it's horrendous, so because of what I am use to hear on the radios over here I appreciate War of Hormones. And I think is cute too. ps: sorry for the grammar, english is my second language!

Well, they were all in their age with raging hormone. So it's just natural, they were being a normal teenager. But Korea is a conservative country like the rest of the countries in Asia that don't openly discuss sex in public, so that's why they got lots of hate and harsh comments about this song back then.

I love this❤️ This is basically Army's guilty pleasure song😁❤️

Haha your reaction is priceless 😂 my boys be gettin rowdy

I LOVE THE SONG

Love this song so much

What I find interesting about these boys is how they interact with women in real life situations. They are either extremely shy or very respectful. If you get a chance, watch how V and the other boys interact with women during the U.S. behind the scene at award shows. It my look like they are hugging the women but their hands are not touching them. It also shows in their early show “American Hustle”. Stay well and God bless you.

This song was hardly critiqued and BTS were even accused of misogyny because of this song. RM even went depressed and start learning about woman's rights and checking his lyrics with a specialist professor. But this song is fun and I think they really learned and grew up a lot after what happened with this song. Let's be honest at some point in our life we think something like this and they were young and like always they write about what they feel and believe so I don't care. I still listen to this song while cleaning

I loved this song when it came out and i still do now :D
