The funniest short description of the three BTS rappers ever and it totally fits: Suga will straight up tell you you're sh_t, RM will explain to you why you're sh_t and J-Hope will tell you it's ok to be sh_t. 😂

10:15 "it's a dad joke" this is so fitting because JIN loves telling dad jokes. hahahahaha

Taylor Mari’s video gives a deeper view of the guys, not so focused on their commercial success like this one is. This one is rather “they’re great because they’re huge” while the other is “they’re huge because they’re great”. Definitely worth watching and I guarantee we will happily watch with you :)

A Dad joke during Jin’s part was the most appropriate timing for it. Jin is the king of dad jokes. Love it! This video doesn’t acknowledge the hate, adversity, and mental struggles they faced to make it this far. Plus, they were homegrown using KZfaq logs to let ARMY in and show genuine care for their supporters. Your awe of them will continue to grow as you not only realize they have talent but hearts of gold (or purple) to match. And they still do. Thanks! Please watch the other one.

Jimin is so beautiful, all men and women love him. Please don't feel strange or even question your manhood. It's the Jimin effect, nobody can look at jimin a long period of time and not be caught up. Yes you're right Prince had the same effect on people also. Thank you so much for reacting to BTS 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 I'm Army for life

It's great that you see Jimin's outer beauty because he is indeed beautiful but his inner self is far more beautiful.

That was pretty much the most accurate description of Jimin 😂❤️

Silver army here 👵🏼 (at 80) 😅😂🤣 you have me in stitches because I experienced 9 years ago exactly what you are doing to learn about BTS, I too took many notes, and dove deep into the rabbit hole . So welcome 🫶💜

I'm so happy u did that Dad joke in Jin's introduction because Jin is a big fan of dad jokes.

I found RM on a low quality underground rap show when he performed as Raunch Randa opposite Zico and went... Wait who is he!! Followed him to BTS. I was ARMY before BTS or ARMY EXISTED! 🎉😂😂🎉💜💜💜

Jimin is an extremely highly awarded martial artist in 5 separate & grueling fighting arts. Do not let his delicate beauty fool you. Dude is a bad ass holding 4 black belts & holds the highest accredation in the hard core contact Japanese fighting art of Kendo.

Yes we do celebrate June 13 when they debut and July 9 for ARMY.

This is the older version. The updated version is exactly the same but has some extras at the end.This gives you some info about their rise, the other video people are talking about tells you a bit about each member. The biggest mistake they made in this video was saying BTS had their sights set on dominating the US by releasing Dynamite. That is wrong. Dynamite only existed because their tour was cancelled due to covid. This, and their album BE, were projects they worked on while they couldn't perform and we all faced restrictions. It was made in English so more fans as well as the public could sing along and cheer up. It was a successful fluke!!💜

Jin was a revelation in the group...learning to sing and dance from zero experience...that's legit talent BigHit was able to discover/uncover from Jin.

RM is the only one fluent in English, so that is why he leads the interviews in English speaking countries... the others are learning English in order to help him in the future. The others talk much more during Korean interviews. RM taught himself English by watching the tv show Friends, he is extremely intelligent with a 148 IQ. He is not just the leader because he was the first member... he is the one who is best suited to the position... he has the full support and backing of all the members even though he is not the oldest (age is very important in Korean society). Even though he was only 18 when they debut he had the skills to be the liaison between the members and the company. Please watch the other video... it explains each member much better for you.

RM is the leader of BTS he handles the work parts of BTS deals with management. Plus he's there main song writer along with house producers and suga

RM He is the leader and the only one at the time who spoke fluent English, which is why he was always in front at award ceremonies or interviews.

RM is usually leading interviews and such because he is the leader of the group, and for a long time the only one fluent in English, though the others are catching up. Welcome to the rabbit hole 💜💜💜

Dont get me wrong i love this ! But i believe A guide to BTS by taylor mari is better just because its more detailed and it also mentions and shows their solo music! Which is an extension of who they are as artist!

He has an updated version of this, but I recommend Taylor Mari documentary if you want to learn about each member. RM is the leader and the only one fluent in English, which is why he was the one on the mic. FYI, Park is his last name Jimin is first. In Korea, the last name is first.

I love all members .but jimin is special for me 😊

Although RM is the leader, he is not the oldest. I would say he is the middle child. Jin, Suga and J-Hope are older and Tae, Jimin and JK are younger. His position as leader is a testament in itself of his intelligence and talent. Age is still highly regarded in South Kores so for the older members to recognize RM leadership ability speaks for itself. He has a very high IQ and a natural gift for languages. As commented below, RM is fluent in English and other languages. That is why you see him as the spokesperson. However, JK and J-Hope are also studying English and the other members give speeches in English quite often.

Koreans write their last names first, so Kim is their last names, Kim Namjoon (RM) Kim Seok Jin ( Jin) Kim Taehyung (V) ❤❤

The 2022 version had so much more they have accomplished and done its absolutely incredible

I love that you are taking notes! Too cute. Also, Jin would appreciate your dad joke for sure!!! Keep going 💜

Classic phrase: “Once you Jimin….you can’t Jimout”…..love it. Do you know what?….. I fully appreciate your dedication in trying to understand the phenomena that is BTS. I find Some reactors soooo frustrating in that they play a couple of songs and think they know BTS, without actually doing any research or discovering their back story. So a big thank you, from a 60yr old Aussie (Australian) fan. 👏🏼🎉

I appreciate that you were taking notes. 😆I'm sure other ARMYs are commenting that in Korea they use the surname first then their first name. For example: Kim Namjoon (RM) = Namjoon as his first name, and Kim as his last name. BTW, RM is the leader of BTS. As for American Hustle Life, Warren G was actually nice to the guys. But Coolio on the other hand not so much. It's actually a great show to watch. I said this before and I'll say it again, I enjoy your reactions. You have become one of my fave reactors.

RM is the leader but he always makes sure to share the spotlight with the other members and encourages them to speak. He takes the lead in English interviews because he's the only one fluent in English and he often translates during interviews. RM teached himself English by watching the sitcom 'Friends'. He's very smart and has an IQ of 148...

RM is the only one who can speak English fluently.

That’s funny that you told a dad joke during Jin’s segment. He’s known for telling dad jokes and then laughing in his signature “windshield wiper” laugh!

They can have an amazing influence on a person. I saw them on TV a couple of times, just a current song, around 2014 maybe and 2018, but there was no 'click' on my side.... But 2023, around February, I'd watched a couple of k-dramas, BTS began to filter in through the algorithms on my phone. I started to get a little interested, already I was in a tough mental state with things hanging over from Covid and various issues with the family. I saw Jin at the piano, performing Epiphany..and it was.. 'I have to love me'. I'd found my bolt-hole (rabbit hole!) to escape the things that bothered me.. and managed to lose a lot of weight physically, too (much needed!) I LOVE these guys! Every one of them is an absolute gem. I'm 65, wish I'd 'found them' earlier, but it's said you find them when you need them most (a lovely fan legend... but true?) And Suga has said something so unbelievably sweet, if you haven't come across this before, you'll love it: "You shouldn't feel bad that you weren't with us at the beginning...The day you found us was the day we debuted for you." Humble as ever. Thoughtful' loving and caring as ever.

You have no clue how much BTS acknowledges their ARMY! 😊💜 you are in for a beautiful journey with BTS, Suga once said when you find them it is the day they debut for you 😊

You should watch “Jimin making men question their sexuality for 11 minutes” and know that you are not the only one. 😂😂😂 that’s a hilarious video!

All South Korean males have to do "Mandatory Military Service" each from 18mos-2yrs. So the group decided to do solo albums since they're all enlisting different times. Each member have already debuted there solo album. Jungkook is the last and youngest in the group to finish his album. Each member had the freedom to do any kind of album they wanted to, Jungkook wanted a pop style album and the entire album is in English. The group will be back together in 2025 everyone will finish military service by then. Each BTS member did a solo album for the first time. Here is the members name, name of album and year album came out. 1) J-Hope 2022* Jack ln The Box 2) Jin* 2022 "ASTRONAUT" single song finishing album after discharge have military in 6/2024, he's the first to enlist. 3) RM* 2022 "INDIGO" 4) Jimin* 2023 "FACE" 5) Suga* 2023 "D-DAY" 6) V* 2023 "LAYOVER" 7) Jungkpok* 2023 "GOLDEN" Each member has different styles and sounds for their solo album you should check it out. All the members worked hard on their solo albums to bring out their on personality.

23:29 Ladies and Gentlemen, Jimin did it again! We’ve got another one. 💪😂

Xceleste's BTS Hardships 2013-2021 is also a must

FYI- in Korea they say the last name first. So their “first”name is actually last. You are fun to watch. Please don’t feel pressure. It should be fun! 💜 Also, I like this documentary. The only thing better is the Rise of Bangtan which is in the boys on words. It is made of videos, KZfaq vlogs, and shows. They basically tell their story.

BTS Debut anniversary celebration is known as FESTA & ARMY bday celebration is known as MUSTER.

There is an updated version of this video. It doesn’t cover their hiatus and solos, but does add to and correct some of the information.

Appreciate you for taking notes. Welcome to the crazy rabbit hole. 💜💜

🤣🤣 I love that you are taking notes. One of the problems with this video. He calls them Kim. That is their last name, so he is basically calling them Smith. Last name is first in Korean. Kim Namjoon = RM Kim Seokjin = Jin, the oldest member Kim Taehyung = V They all have the same last name. Jeon Jungkook. Jeon is his last name. And don't worry, BTS gives us lots of content for the anniversaries. 😘💜🫰🏻🫶🏻 Warren G was nice to them and saw their potential. Coolio rip, was a bit cringe and one other guy who thankfully disappeared from the show. If you can make it past the "kidnapping" first episode (I am still mad about it) there are some brilliant later episodes that are necessary to understanding their journey. But it will make you mad. 💜 RM is the leader and the only one fluent in English. This video doesn't explain their origins of all sleeping in one bedroom and BigHit having no money and influence. It was a big deal that they came from a small company. I hope at some point you will watch the other video. It will explain so much more. 🫰🏻🫶🏻

You are spot on with Jimin 😄

RM IS the Leader of BTS. Every Kpop group has a leader. It is an appointed position with a lot of responsibility. The members all have so much respect for his leadership skills. He acts as the link between the group and management and is often the group spokesman.

Rm is super intelligent with an iq of 148. He has total leader/alpha vibes. Combine that with his intelligence, is the reason why he is the leader of the group even though he is 4th oldest. You haven’t had the chance to listen to this man talk yet. He is wise beyond his years. Listening to him talk makes me think so much more about myself and what I’m doing. Then seeing the lyrics or the messages behind their songs….hits you in your soul. There’s a reason why we call this man our President. If he lead the world, we’d be in a much better place.

15:46 remember in the beginning he said producer bang si-hyuk wanted to create a group young folks could relate to & look up to? So, According to J-Hope, the name signifies the group's desire "to block out stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations that aim on adolescents like bullets". They later expanded on the name to mean "beyond the scene", This extended the meaning of their name to encompass the idea of growth "from a boy to an adult who opens the doors that are facing forward" , The youth who don't accept their current reality & follow their dreams etc. It all ties together 💜 Eta 21:15 many ARMYs will tell you to not watch American Hustle Life, because people disrespected them (plus production played a cruel prank on them) in the 1st couple episodes but it's really good...cringy? Absolutely but you get to see where BTS learned so much, & they still utilize those lessons til this day. If you watch the show (KZfaq, 8 episodes) you'd see the lead up and reasoning behind the very cringe warren g mv of boy in love. If you just watch that version of the mv it's soooo... Not great lol. Warren g was very respectful though and was so impressed by them he gave a track to Namjoon (RM) to see what kind of beats he'd lay on it. 32:19 Namjoon was chosen as leader for a multitude of reasons. He was the 1st member, he's incredibly intelligent with an IQ of 148 (genius level), & his opinions & ideas regarding music was well respected, even though he was really young. All the members love and respect him as leader, & Jungkook was so taken with Namjoon's charisma & talent that he joined tiny big hit even though companies from the Big 3 kpop companies offered him a spot as a trainee

There is actually 2023 updated version. This video is actually old one from 2021. If you want to more abt the other member, then watch "A Guide to BTS members"

I'm glad you chose this one because it introduces you to the whole group. You have all the time in world to learn about the members and their solo stuff later on. A good video would be "This is BTS" by XCeleste. It's rather short and has voice over but you'll learn a bit more about them as a group on a personal level. And the "BTS Hardships (2013-2021)" from XCeleste as well - to see the other sude of the coin 💜 Koreans put their last names first. So RM's first name is Namjoon and his last name is Kim. In American format he would be called Namjoon Kim. Same for the others, of course! The problem with American Hustle Life is that it's really cringe on certain points, but it's still fun to watch. The 2 first episodes are really off putting because they pulled a kidnapping prank on the guys. JK was only 16 back then. And some of them were really terrified. As well as the infamous world-class prick known as Dante - one of their supposedly "mentors" on the show. He got kick off for being uncooperative, rude and disrespectful as hell (he literally hit Jin with a plushie to shush him). Other than that, the show is fun. But there's a whole section where they told them to pick up girls on the streets to shoot an MV...by flirting with them. The guys were mostly uncomfortable doing it and most of them just tried to recruit them normally. And then they shot the MV where they were supposed to act like though guys with pretty girls - they were even more uncomfortable. The whole MV is super cringe because you can feel it's not like them at all. But this is part of what makes BTS different. They did actually learned about hip-hop from Americans and legendary artists and know about its cultural aspects RM is indeed the leader of BTS and usually is the spokesperson in interviews - especially the US since he's the only fluent in English.

Yes! It's called The Jimin Effect. It works on all! He has the ability to look through the camera and into your soul. I am a 55 year old ARMY. They are my anti-depressants. My mom was dying of cancer and also an ARMY. My last words to her were " It's okay Mom, Ypu have important businesu. " Orher ARMYS will understand. As you go through the rabbit hole, you're going to understand. Watch their TV show Run BTS. I even have a tattoo that my mom designed in her handwriting. Enjoy Watching your reaction.

The other is more reading but Also three times better. I highly recommend watching that one..

Finally 🎉 ever time watching this video I'm crying cause their made it so good😭😭 I'm army from 2015 and their song always make my life so colorful

23:29 I mean, RM did say that all Jimin’s flips got them the attention first.

Heck yeah we celebrate ARMY’s birthday! We even get gifts from BTS. 💜 Since you’re busy studying you should know ARMY is a short for Adorable M. C. for Youth and BTS named us. Warren G was super sweet to them and really took them under his wing.

Once you Jim-in..... You NEVER Jim-out. 🙃😉

Okay, don't feel bad. I just turned 65. I had heard of BTS for years, but I dismissed them as some stupid boy band. Then the pandemic came and like so many others, I found them through Butter. Then I headed down the rabbit hole and never looked back! My husband doesn't "get it", but I don't care! These guys are the most incredible artists and human beings....I love them soooo much! Just went to see Suga's new movie for my birthday last week. The audience was cheering and clapping and so was I! My son said, "You must be the oldest BTS fan here!" I said, "I don't care!" And I don't! And I never will! BTS are changing the world...and music....and people's hearts with every song they perform!!!! BTW...Koreans put their surnames first. So Jimin's Korean name is Park Jimin, but his "first" name is still Jimin. Same thing with the others. BTS has three Kims, unrelated, because Kim is the most common surname in Korea.

Proud to be first!!! You and your son should react to Sugas solo song called "Agust D" (the music video) i promise you'll be 6 ft off your chairs 😄😄

Just a quick note - when their real names are given here they put the family name first, then their first (or personal) name. Also, if you want more updated information - and information that looks at the guys individually - I would recommend a video that came out in March. A Helpful Guide To BTS: The 7 Members Of Bangtan (2024 Update) by Purple Snow. It is 1 hour 28 minutes, but contains a lot of information. It is more up to date than Taylor Mari's (which is 2 years old - and was my go to recommendation); and deserves a lot more recognition than it's getting so far - because it is good. And Purple Snow is also planning to do detailed introductions for each member, with RM as her starting point. American Hustle Life is quite a good show, but it does have it's cringy moments - especially in the first couple of episodes. Warren G was good with BTS - and RM has worked with him since. Coolio however... Lets just say he was a little hard on V. But Miss Iris more than made up for that. And they did learn a lot, made good contacts, and friends.

So glad you watched this. As others have said watching the Taylor guide will give you another view on who the members are vs. how they succeeded like in this one. Looking forward to more.

I don't like how he said things about dynamite. That song was never part of their plan. They were going to military but COVID happened so then we got dynamite. And they made that song (along with PTD) to cheer people up from COVID lockdown not to make profit

RM is always front and center when it comes to interviews or talking because he is the only one who was fluent in English so he would translate for the person interviewing them and his bandmates. Even though they could sing in english they couldn't hold a conversation in English. Which is why RM who was fluent in it does most of the talking and translating.

I burst out laughing when you said “ there are rules you need to follow “, hilarious! American Hustle Life was very good experience for them. Warren G was very good to them. Coolio was a bit harsh with V at their first meeting but it was teach him and the rest of the members to take this opportunity seriously. The first night the TAH team pranked them and scared the hell out of them. Also one guy from TAH was rude and almost hit Jin and he was removed from further working with them. The BTS members did very well, worked very hard and learned a lot and the team of TAH told them at the end that they were the best they ever worked with.

when you said “If THE FIRE BREAKS, he’s the person who whoop your ass” - no no not!! cause, probably it will be RM who caused the FIRE 😂😂

Taking notes, I thankfully had my nieces I called and asked questions and they helped me learn. Suga is my bias but I love something about each one.

When you hit thst dad joke during Kim Seokjin's intro - do you known that he is infamous for his notorious slew of dad jokes? 😂 it's destiny that you learned about Worlwide Handsome Jin

July 9, is always a birthday celebration for ARMY and BTS. If they were not in the military they would address is with something special as they do every year. Notice RM is in the middle of ARMY.

Tbh I’m impressed with how serious you were about taking notes lol. So cute lol love it

we will pushing from the Taylor Marie video, and the hardships by Xceleste 😁💜 but thank you for taking the time to watch this video.

Kim, Park, Jeon, Jung, and Min are their last names. In Korea, their last names are said first. First Name => Stage Name and Positions Namjoon => RM - Leader, Main Rapper Seokjin => Jin - Oldest, Visual, Vocalist Yoongi => Suga - Lead Rapper, Producer Hoseok => J-Hope - Dance Leader, Main Dancer, Rapper, Sub vocalist Jimin => Jimin - Main Dancer, Lead Vocalist Taehyung => V - Vocalist, Dancer Jungkook => Jungkook - Main Vocalist, Lead Dancer, Center, Maknae (youngest) All members have contributed in songwriting, with the rappers (RM, Suga, and J-Hope) having the most songwriting and producing credits. Also, there's a 2023 update for this video...I love that you're taking notes ;)

I just wanna say that you putting the dedication and care to TAKE NOTES and learn about them makes me so happy as an ARMY 💜 thank you for giving them that respect!

I love how authentic you are in this journey of BTS and kpop. It’s similar to many of us and feels like I’m walking down memory lane through my own experience. They have soooooo much content to watch and learn, it’s really insane. I kept cracking up every time you pulled out your notes 😂

Your dad joke at jins part just fit😭 he’s the king of dad jokes

Observations about RM being the natural leader are on the money. First time I saw him, they were singing Dynamite live, and I could see he was the man in charge, up on the roof of that gas station.

I love how you are telling us that you're taking notes as if we weren't there ourselves! We feel your pain but now we get to laugh a little cuz we know! You my friend have fallen down the rabbit hole and landed in wonderland and you're NEVER leaving! 40 year old ARMY here, been at this for 4 years, and STILL haven't caught up with everything, you can't! You can only just enjoy the ride! Stay true to yourself, keep giving authentic reactions and you'll be fine. ALSO - Dynamite was released in 2020, just cuz you asked.

You just watched an old version of "the Most Beautiful Life Goes on A Story of BTS". It has an update until 2023. This video perfect companion is the Taylor Mari video. Even though it has a lot of english caption and long, it is not boring. You will enjoy every minute and learn a lot.

The first person ever who is paying full attention to the information and literally writing it down. pausing to make sure they didn't miss anything. I'm so happy right now😄. This is the first reaction I have loved every moment of.

After watching their life story, I guess now is the time to watch their hardships as well. Thank you in advance

I just finished watching the video!!! I really think it would be so cool if you watched all the mentioned videos in order from oldest to newest... mainly because all their songs and music videos tell a story, so by skipping ahead or something you might be missing something from the previous video! You can find a full, almost movie like, video of the HYYH (the most beautiful moment in life) somewhere on KZfaq that goes through everything. Honestly though, its quite a sad thing to watch as a lot of the story is about pain and suffering, but theres definitely a lot to learn from it! Have a good weekend❤

One of the most entertaining reactions I've watched, ever! Welcome to the purple world. Oh, so much is in for you.

I think it's so cute that you're taking notes and really trying to learn about BTS. You'll get a lot of comments from ARMY "directing" you on what to watch and how to watch it. Just enjoy your journey. 😊 Looking forward to watching more with you!

You got me when you validated my feelings for jimin ❤ just subscribed

I also LOVEEEE that you’re taking notes!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜 Welcome to the ARMY!!!

This gives more of the discograpy history, Taylor's focuses on the BTS members personalities and Army's passion for BTS, but the 3rd Must See is by "X Celeste's Hardships" video! The best trifecta of BTS!!!

Literally taking notes... so relatable😅

Jimin is the lead vocalist and he also sings the ad-libs and hits high notes too

Jin Discharge: 12/13/22-6/12/2024 Sergeant Hobi Discharge: 4/18/23- 10/17/2024 Corporal Suga Discharge: 9/22/23- 6/21/2025 RM Discharge: 12/11/23-6/10/2025 JiminDischarge: 12/12/23-6/11/2025 Private First Class JK Discharge: 12/12/23-6/11/2025 V Discharge: 12/11/23-6/10/2025 A.R.M.Y.; A= Adorable R= Representatives M= Master of Ceremony for Y= Youth The Korean terms that are used often - hyung = older brother (also used for really close friends) - maknae = youngest of the group - sunbea(nim) = senior Boys to elder males: Hyung Girls to elder males: Oppa Boys to elder females: Noona Girls to elder females: Eonnie Yep there are subunits. Vocal line- Jk, Jimin, Jin, V Rap line- Suga, RM, JHope Dance line- JHope, Jimin, Jk, V Main Visual line- Jin, V, Jk, Jimin(but all members are handsome btw). Main songwriters, composers and producers in the group- RM, Suga, JHope. Hyung line- Jin, Suga, JHope, RM Maknae line- Jimin, V, JK @addisonmcdorman2759 said on 7/16/23 In Korea, surnames are written first, given names second. I.e. Park Jimin: Jimin is his first name and Park is his last name. Same for all other Korean names. @caspian0ffline925 said on 7/16/23 Korean naming conventions arrange names as follows: [FAMILY NAME] [personal name]. For example, KIM Min Su (male) or LEE Hyori (female). Each Korean name usually consists of three syllables. The first is the family name while the second and third are the given name. KIM jimin - jimin KIM seokjin - jin KIM taehyung - V KIM nam joon - RM JEON jungkook - JK Or jungkook MIN yoon gi - SUGA JUNG ho seok - J-HOPE The Jimin Effect - "The Jimin Effect is a short circuit that happens in the wiring of the brain when one first experiences a visual encounter with BTS' Park Jimin. It inevitably results in instant feelings of love and happiness, but can take a variety of forms, depending on which version of Jimin one has encountered. If: Mochi Jimin, the affected party will generally grab the nearest person and demand to know how anyone that adorable is even possible. If: Sexy Jimin, the affected party will likely have a pause in all bodily activity while the brain tries to reconfigure everything it thought it knew about the world. This can last from several minutes to several hours, and can in some cases result in becoming frook shoken." and here's the definition of "Frook Shoken" on Urban Dictionary: Frook Shoken - "A state of paralysis that occurs in the left brain of a heterosexual male upon his first visual encounter with BTS' Park Jimin. It is caused by a combination of shock, awe, and general confusion, and can last up to 9 hours. Symptoms include staring and/or rapid blinking, repetitions of the word "how" and a slackness of jaw which may result in drool. It is simply known as the Jimin Effect when it happens to straight females and homosexual males, but the added layer of confusion resulting in left brain paralysis is what makes Frook Shoken specific to the straight male subset. Snapping out of it will inevitably result in the victim asking "wtf just happened" but it is best if you wait a few hours to let his system recover before exposing him to Jimin again. Just tell him you'll explain later." Even though it's not your "first visual encounter" with Jimin and this "effect" is mainly about how straight men keep falling for him, NO ONE IS SAFE. So welcome to the never-ending list 😂

This documentary doesn’t do them justice. 40:56

I found SUGA first and then BTS November of 2023! I am laughing because like you, I also have a notebook with all my notes. I am 59 and have gone down the rabbit hole! Purchasing the albums and merchandise. Hubby is wondering if I lost my mind. LOL. He just needs to listen to the music I tell him and then he will understand. Love your content and so happy to have a shared experience. Midwest USA is where I’m from. I have not been this passionate about music since the wonderful 80’s music scene. ARMY!!!!!!

Love watching …SEVERAL Documentaries of our BTS! Thank you for learning bits and pieces about our precious Bangtan! …we don’t mind watching LONG videos concerning #BTS

In Korea...well in China as well... the surname comes first: So if the name is Kim Seokjin.....his name is Seokjin....and his familyname is Kim.

Hey fellow Gen X parent! I love how you put on your glasses, got your notebook and pen and started taking down notes! Haha! Something about writing stuff down that helps your remember right? 😁 loving your reactions. ARMY mom here since 2020 💜

Going back through the few I missed and found this one...I can SO relate. I have been listen to BTS since the beginning (long story), had some of their music on my computer thanks to several of my kids. August - 2020 - Dynamite. That little "bang". Jimin. I was HOOKED. I had heard everything from my kids, but wanted to experience it myself...so...that first week? All I can say is thank goodness I'm a stay at home mom! I think I got all of 2 hours of sleep the first week...literally. Then....I heard about the conversation... Youngest (only one still at home): "I finally got mom into BTS!" Middle Child: "Cool." They talked a bit more. Middle child talked to me. I was quoting facts, reciting key lines (in Korean), talking about specific interviews, award shows, etc. Middle child talked to Youngest again: "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO OUR MOTHER????" LMAO

I have been lucky enough to see them 9 times at this point in 4 different states (Illinois, New York, LA and Las Vegas. That says something about their power. I've traveled to see them whenever I have had the funds to do so. If I had the funds, I would have been to more. While every show on an individual tour may have the same (sometimes just similar) set lists, the shows are each unique and crowd involved. I think I have cried at every single live performance of theirs, solely for their emotional impact. 💜 Borahae.

Loved this reaction, thank you 💜

Funny how you do dad joke while watching jin intro cause he himself is a dad joke connoisseur

I am glad you have gotten some important information from this documentary which I have just watched with you. I hope you get to watch the other one to learn some more as well. Thank you for an amazing reaction. It is so true once you Jimin you can't Jim out. 💜

its sooo cute to see him jot down the imp points as well!!!

RM is the official Leader of the group. The group was literally built around him as the leader from the beginning. He interfaces with the public and between the company and the guys, as well as mediates disputes between the guys. The rappers are definitely the leaders together. j-hope is the dance leader and RM calls j-hope the "real" leader, the behind-the-scenes leader and emotional center of BTS. All of them were crying when they said goodbye to j-hope when he went to do his military service. Suga is the main producer in the group. Between the 3 of them they have released 9 of the 12 solo albums of the members (3 each.) All of them were signed around the same time.

Borahae Army Daddy 💜🫰🏻 haha! Look forward to meeting your daughter. I am so enjoying your channel and watching you grow up from a baby Army! I enjoy other K-Pop artists but BTS is my world! 💜🫰🏻

You should react to their music in chronological order so you can see their development and artists and as people. In chapter 1 (around 2013-2022 when BTS had mostly group activities), they released these albums: [THE SCHOOL TRILOGY] - 2 Cool 4 Skool (2013) - O!RUL8,2? (2013) - Skool Luv Affair (2014) [FIRST FULL-LENGTH ALBUM] - Dark & Wild (2014) [THE YOUTH TRILOGY]: - The Most Beautiful Moment In Life Pt. 1 (2015) - The Most Beautiful Moment In Life Pt. 2 (2015) - The Most Beautiful Moment In Life: Young Forever (2016) [SECOND FULL-LENGTH ALBUM] - Wings (2016) [COMPILATION ALBUM, part of youth trilogy] - You Never Walk Alone (2017) [LOVE YOURSELF TRILOGY] - Love Yourself: Her (2017) - Love Yourself: Tear (2018) - Love Yourself: Answer (2018) [MAP OF THE SOULD SERIES] - Map of the Soul: Persona (2019) - Map of the Soul: 7 (2020) [PANDEMIC ALBUM AND SINGLES] - BE (2020) - Dynamite (2020) - Butter (2021) [ANTHOLOGY ALBUM] - Proof (2022) For more information on bts albums and songs in chapter 1, please refer to this video by boracity magazine (she is really critical and objective, always brings up good arguments so I love her videos a lot): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gKt9aNWDz9ebm5c.html I remember BTS has around 300 songs, so please don't just listen to the title tracks but the FULL ALBUMS, their other b-sides are really good and are what set them apart from other k-pop groups with their flawless discography. Alongside group music activities, the vocal line released free solo singles on different occasions, and the rapline also released solo mixtapes in chapter 1, which received high critical acclaims from different institutions, proved their talent in producing and song-writing: - RM - by RM (2014) - Agust D - by AgustD/Suga (2016) - Mono - by RM (2018) - Hope World - by j-hope (2018) - D-2 - by AgustD/Suga (2020) As for chapter 2 (start when the members started serving mandatory military service in korea in 2022), they had multiple solo projects by each member, but the main ones are the albums (except Jin with his single): - Jack in the Box - by J-hope (2022) - The Astronaut - by Jin (single, 2022) - Indigo - by RM (2022, my fav) - Face - by Jimin (2023) - D-day - by AgustD/Suga (2023) - LayoVer - by V (2023) - Golden - by Jungkook (2023) - Hope on the Street - by j-hope (2024) Please always be reminded that BTS has A LOT OF SONGS in different genres, in group, solo and produced by them or features with other artists so if you are serious about getting to know them, please listen to those. They are the hearts of BTS and that's why they are so loved by diverse audience and have loyal fandom. Also, they are masters in lyricism (esp RM) so please look up for translations and explanation by Korean (I highly recommend doolset, she's very well-versed in different pieces of media, Eastern and Western (doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/) and DKDKTV (though they only did videos on some songs like Baepsae, Spine Breaker, Ddaeng,...). As for the Bangtan Universe (BU), which is kinda like Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) that is very complicated and spread throughout different BTS content for folks who love solving puzzles. I'm not good at explaining it so you can try look into it yourself by going through BTS music chronologically, or if you are unable to solve (like me lol cuz I'm dumb), you can look into summary video by XCeleste (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aJN0eNhkv7DYdYk.html). They also have reality shows produced by their team if you would like a light-hearted, fun times called Run BTS and other shows like Bon Voyage, In The Soop followed them during their staycation. This is family-friendly, bonding content during meal time in korea, that's why korean family/public of all ages adore them so much. You can also watch them with your son and family to have a laugh and learn about the individual members more, they're genuinely hilarious. Whew, that's a long one. Hope you read to this point. I'm not a native English speaker so please forgive me if I make any mistakes. If you would like to know more, I can dm you ☺💜. Thank you for your reaction!
