To answer some of y’all questions, in K-pop image is EXTREMELY important, in most companies the idols aren’t allowed to date. Btw, if any member is gay or somewhat part of the lgbtq community they are also forced to not share that information with fans. Specially considering how conservative South Korea is. Sometimes they are forced into plastic surgery so they look more appealing to the Korean beauty standards (which are almost impossible to achieve). And a lot of other restrictions. In BTS’s case, they don’t have this many restrictions, since their company was more about the members expressing themselves Than being perfect dolls. So, they are, technically, allowed to date. However, they never do it publicly. You guys also said that you’re not sure what their target audience is, men or women. And I’m pretty sure the guy on the right is confused as to if the members are part of the lgbtq community or not. So, as I said earlier, even if they were part of the lgbtq community, they can’t really share that information. And even though there are a lot of speculations about the topic, K-pop in general is a pretty “feminine” industry. It is expected for the idols to wear makeup, crazy hair colors and extravagant clothes. In fact, it is actually really interesting that an industry with so much homophobia is incredibly fine with men expressing their feminine side, but incredibly against them being openly gay lol. So, honestly, we as fans just don’t assume anything about their personal lives. Especially if the reason you guys are assuming that is the makeup. Because that is extremely common. As to what is their target audience, honestly, BTS doesn’t necessarily do music for any specific demographic. Their music is just extremely diverse. Going from pop, r&b, rock, hip hop, Latin pop, ballads etc… they just attract alot of different people from different countries and backgrounds. Some of which are men, women, gay, straight, black, white… the list goes on. If you guys want to know more about them I would definitely recommend the guide to the BTS members by Taylor. Also the guy you liked is jimin (aka my favorite) and don’t worry, there is actually a joke in the fandom saying that once you Jim-in you can’t Jim-out because of how many straight men fall for jimin. In fact you guys should watch “jimin making straight men question their sexuality” is really funny!!

Jimin is a beautiful man (also my bias) and there’s nothing wrong with appreciating that. I love that you aren’t afraid to say how you feel.

The Jimin Effect is so powerful 😂

If I’m not mistaken prince and micheal Jackson wore makeup 😂❤

I TOLD YOU JIMIN WAS THE ONE THAT WAS GONNA GET YOU CAUGHT UP… he was the same one you had that secretary joke about in the “Dope” video JIMIN is fine!!! 😂 V was the blonde with the deep voice

I love a man that is not afraid to acknowledge another man is beautiful and handsome. my husband is the same. he was all "that man is beautiful!" when he saw Jimin.

Oh, the Jimin effect 😂

It's save to say that Jimin is Jody's bias🤣

bro said "I feel gay"😭😭😭

10:53 That gorgeous man is Jimin. You have been caught in the Jimin Effect. It’s a common enough occurrence that it even has a name. 🤷🏻‍♀️ The song is about temptation, so it makes conceptual sense they raised the sexy level a notch or seven in the styling and choreography. This MV takes elements mainly from mythology like the myth of Icarus and a novel by a German author which deals with loss of innocence & self-discovery. The winged statue represents Abraxas, a deity in the novel who encompasses both light and darkness.

Your talking about jimin , you must watch jimin set me free 2 ,like crazy, filter, serendipity ❤❤

10:40 that's jimin 💜

Jimin Effect 😂😂💜

Omg you had me rolling !!!!! 53 year of black army.. Not a screaming little girl!. Anyway, I subscribed on Jody alone

If u wanna see their “from the bottom now we here” story then u should definitely check out their introduction video titled “A guide to BTS’S members the bangtan 7” by Taylor Mari.

It's funny how some men are so bothered by the make-up. Maybe because they're getting mesmerized by Jimin? But there are plenty of people/groups that have worn make-up. David Bowie from the 70s, Ozzie, Boy George, 80s pop, Prince, etc. In fact, so many that I don't understand why people think only K-pop groups wear make-up!

Let me just say you are not the first nor will you be the last to fanboy behind BTS….They are some handsome AND pretty men….there are actually some reaction videos of men questioning their sexuality while watching BTS and they are hilarious….You are going to fall for them one way or another because of their talent, determination, honesty, and strength….this group is CAPTIVATING and I recommend you watch the introduction video of BTS by Taylor Mari: A Guide to BTS Members, The Bangtan 7….this video will help in your discovery of BTS…. I hope to see more and have subscribed because I love watching people get hooked like I did lol 💕💖💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💖💕

Their culture is VERY different, they are very much about aesthetics, it has nothing to do with sexuality. They are 7 guys who debuted in 2013 and have lived to together until last year. Don't make assumptions. Listen to your buddy who is very cool and knows it's a "different culture". He's on point. 💜💜💜💜

the raising the hand got me 😭😭

Jody the best guide and introduction to BTS is A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7 by Taylor Mari.

That's our Global IT Boy Jimin, bruh! LOL! BTS are handsome and pretty boys but no one matches the JIMIN EFFECT on men. BTS has broken the toxic masculinity long time ago so it's okay for you guys to appreciate these men's handsomeness, cuteness, attractiveness, sexiness and elegance. You're not the first reactors who reacted that way. You can react to JIMIN MAKING GUYS QUESTION THEIR SEXUALITY. LOL! BTW, just so you know, the message of this MV is really deep. It's about the youth getting curious and confused between good and evil and yielding to temptations. Love your reaction. A GUIDE TO BTS MEMBERS by Taylor Mari is a good way to know these amazing and talented young men.

They lived together for close to 10 years and consider themselves a tight-knit family. They refer to each other as brothers and look out for one another.

Jimin is the name of the one you asking for

First of all, I loved this reaction. I laughed a lot watching the Jimin effect on the run 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Then, I think you may be confused a bit about the meaning of the song, so I kindly recommend to read the lyrics and look out for explanations, it would help a lot. Thank you so much for your reaction, you are very funny.

The meaning is very deep, but the essence of the song is about the loss of innocence.

I just found out my favorite reaction video lol. I just can't with that cuteness counting and the hand raising thing 😂 That was definately fun, I can't wait for next one. Regards from Brazil 😘

Nah Ngl Jimin one of the most beautiful men on planet earth my nigga lol like it’s crazy. He looks like angelic masterpiece

jimin he the global face of Tiffany's and dior. his look is different

Do you have captions on when watching? I usually don’t comment but was a little confused. BTS & ARMY are a family & the door is open for all. Please be open minded when watching. Makeup is part of the contour/context for visual, but should not matter. Their songs are not written for guys or girls, it’s for anyone & any situation that you’re in. FYI - Prince was a great artist who was straight & wore makeup. Both men & women loved him! If you’re not sure please always ARMY. We are here to help you with your journey. Remember love yourself & speak yourself! 💜

What they wear in photo shoots, music videos & public appearances is not what they wear in their lives streams or at home or in the studio. Looking perfect & dressed in high fashion is part of kpop. How others view them based off clothes/makeup has no influence on them or how they view their own masculinity. They are very secure in who they are. The sooner our country would adopt the same attitude the better imo. Clothes are clothes, they do not define one’s gender or sexuality & cutting edge fashion will always be something no one wears in their everyday life.

That's king of kpop park jimin... 🐣

That is our beautiful Jimin. He is adored by so many men, that it has become known as the "Jimin Effect". There are alot of videos on KZfaq about it. And as far as the make up goes. Western actors and musicians also wear makeup. They wouldn't go on screen without it. Whether they are gay or not is really none of our business. I'm a 66 yr old grandmother and I adore these men. You really need to watch "A Guide to BTS: The Bangtan Seven by Taylor Mari. It will answer alot of your questions. They have helped alot of people overcome difficulties in their lives, me being one of them. Their lyrics are very deep, so turn on cc when you watch. You cannot compare their music with anyone. They are in a league of their own and they worked very hard over the last 10 yrs to get where they are. Right now they are going to do their Mandatory military service. Two have enlisted already and the rest will follow. They are true.beautiful and humble humans. We need more of this in our world. Thank you for your reaction and I hope you give the guys a good look. Borahae 💜💜💜

10:45 - Jimin. He's gorgeous in so many ways, and a lot of straight men have found themselves attracted to him. He has a very androgynous esthetic. (I'm named Jody, too.)

For an introduction to BTS i recommend the introduction by Taylor Mari

Dude on the left is FALLING IN LOVE and I am here for it 💜😂

I really laughed a lot! I can assure you that this mv is a thirst trap for everyone! Some have already cited Prince and MJ for the GOATs of the sexy performer who wears makeup (I add David Bowie and BTS) Nevertheless, the level of symbolism of this mv conceals a real depth which reflects the title (there are several explanation videos if you are curious) The real blood, sweat & tears is their real journey. Like many here, I advise you to watch A Guide to BTS Members, The Bangtan 7 Thank you for your reaction 💜

😂😂😂😂 the Jimin effect is so real 😂😂 he really is that beautiful 💜💜

Hi guys, it's completely normal for you to think that they are sexy, or that they look like girls but it's part of their culture, it should be noted that they are not just pretty faces, but that they are very talented guys and that is why they are so big worldwide, Obviously our cultures are very different, I also judged them out of ignorance when I met them but little by little I got to know them and I admire them a lot. I am a girl who had never been attracted to a boy band like One Direction or The Jonas Brothers who were a sensation in my teens but recently I met BTS and it was a very different perspective, they compose, write their songs and are very involved to give them a personal meaning or through your own perspective; They have even been based on books, there is hard work behind their 10-year career. I recommend that you continue to react to more of his songs, you should react to the rapline songs like UGH!, Cypher 1,2,3 and 4, Ddaeng among others, you won't regret it, there are also videos of his performances that are impressive . There is also the BTS guide by Taylor so that you can get to know them better kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ntuGktx6yd6-gI0.htmlsi=P6vKui6KDxaXVzeF Thank you because you have been respectful and I fully understand that you feel weird seeing the use of makeup on boys, but in Korea from the South is very common, the beauty standards are very high that apply to men and women and many people envy the perfect skin they have, and also they as "Idols" have many restrictions because they are prohibited from many things, they are very careful With their personal lives, as they get to know them, they will realize that they are very different from American artists and that they are very close to their fans. I await a new reaction.

Honestly most people who take the stage or are in front of the camera wear makeup (even newspeople). Since you said you guys come from a cinema background, keep going. When you are ready you can explore the BU storyline that runs through many of their videos. Dance practices, mv makings and behind the scenes are also very impressive. And finally, once you know them better, watch the 2019 mma awards. Their 45 minute performance is like nothing I’ve ever seen.

Hello again...so you asked for some educated around a few subjects, so I shall try. Before I go further, I would like to thank you for the reaction, and recommend that you watch the explanation video that goes with this song. It is far deeper and has way more meaning than you may think. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9qcmqSGqpzdmps.html If possible please do this as a reaction because I would love to see how you react when you find out what this song is about. So to the restrictions and girlfriends thing, your friend is generally correct about what she said for most k=pop groups, however BTS is not your normal k-pop group and the majority of that stuff didn't and doesn't apply to them. Their company allowed them way more flexibility than other kpop groups which is why they are who they are today. Most kpop groups when bts started didn’t have much say in their music (a lot of them still don’t) where BTS wrote, produced, composed, and were heavily involved in everything they put out. They've never followed or been a real part of the kpop industry which is why that industry has never liked them and why most ARMYs don't really care for k-pop as a whole. As for the make-up and looking like girls...🙄, I’ll say it again…Make-up was initially used by MEN all the way back Emperors and Kings. In general, the Kpop industry is about beauty, elegance, glamour. These ppl are called "Idols" and what Idol is going to be ugly or unattractive. That is what they are selling, even more than the music. So all of them, men and women, need to look perfect and beautiful. Think of it in the same vein as an Egyptian Pharaoh. Do you think they were any less manly because they wore make-up? They did so because they were the personification of a God, and a God in human form would need to be presented as flawless and the most beautiful and attractive person on the planet. I get the difficulty in understanding because my husband is a 61 yr. blk man raised in probably the same way you were where men have all the restrictions place on them for what a “real” man is supposed to look, act, talk, and be like. But as humans we can discern what we think is beautiful and what isn't. From a cultural standpoint and what we are used to seeing or what we have been raised to see or think of as beautiful, you may honestly not find any of them attractive (maybe their facial structure, because it is different from whites, black, etc. is not as pleasing to you) and that is fine, but classifying them as LGBTQ2+ or women like because you are not use to seeing beautiful man, is unnecessary. As a woman, if see another woman that is gorgeous/beautiful, and I say that, no one questions my sexuality. But you as a man seem to think that you are not allowed to acknowledge beauty, simply because the person in question is of the same sex. Confidence in your masculinity should ensure that you can see and acknowledge beauty without feeling any type of way about it. Beauty does not have a gender. However, none of that is as important as the music. Their music and storytelling (lyrics, beats, production) is just superior to most if not all other kpop groups imo.

1:39 - Jimin. The saying goes, "Once you Jimin, you can't Jim-out." And you're not alone. Lots and lots and lots on men love Jimin. And make no mistake, BST are who you think they are. Just watch with an open mind. BTS even talked about BST in an interview and basically said, we showed ARMY who we are. It's not advertised, of course, but make no mistake, they show us what they wanted. And from what I can see (if you watch interviews, performances, etc, carefully,) they are reasonably transparent about who they are. And for God's sake, of course they have have lots of extracurriculars. And good for them. I adore them for exactly who they are. What beautiful men.

bts is a great introduction for some people into how feminity and masculinity have no bearing on gender or sexual orientation in any culture and if we care about not only the boys but the world and we a coupla guys asking questions respectfully we should take the time to have the discussion. Makeup clothes a person's appearance is just that. Ofcourse we all have knee jerk judgment ls ingrained in us but the pause to have critical thinking beyond that is something that needs to be taught. To majority of the world as it stands.

Park Jimin😌

jimin'

Ahhh Park Jimin, always defending his branding.

Jimin is beautiful and he’s my favorite also ❤

this man is name park jimin yes his sixy and cute and hut and soooo handsome 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Love your honesty and your cute counter! Thank you for being open to things that are different from what you normally exposed too!

JIMIN EFFECT 😂❤❤❤

all the men notice jimin first LOL

Thanks for reacting to BTS, it was great! You made my day 😂! 💜

basically they dont make music for men or women they just make music.

His name is Jimin

Fun reaction! Looking forward to more BTS. I see others answered your questions. There is a video of them in concert in Las Vegas and them being in shock when they heard MANY MEN Armies. 😊 Army loves all seven boys. They couldn’t exist without each one’s individual personality, talent and passion. 😊💜 please use cc in the future. BTS lyrics are as important as their music and dancing.

2:45 “Do you feel gay?” “Hell no” “I feel gay”

Jody... you are truly a mood. love that you're a secure man not afraid to speak your mind and appreciate beauty where it is due. love it!

the cute counter and yall realizing how pretty they are made me subscribe . Yall real chill...love how your other friend just letting you be you. I'm going to yall channel and watch some more of yall videos

I love the way you talk about something that is not your "cup of tea" but you are constructive and more so positively constructive and that is very rare and valuable!!! We all have different opinions and feelings and the most important is to accept others opinions, please keep on going, thank you for being FAIR!!!

9:08 Playing the organ is Min Yoongi aka Suga aka Agust D

The song is based on the novel 'Demian', good and evil plus temptation. 💜

BTW thats JIMIN. The GLOBAL AMBASSADOR of DIOR and Tiffany and Company. He really is sexy, pretty, beautiful and gorgeous. No one escapes his etherial beauty and his talent and total personality. Yould love him more.

Oh my it's my Jiminah 💜

that JIMIN my bias , please react to BTS Is The anything BTS JIMIN can't do?" , And BTS JIMIN athletism and talents explosion

Never be scared to express your opinion, I enjoy your honest reactions!

I'm korean and lived thier for years it's the best place to live no doubt.

Y'll make my day guys😂😂 Please continue 😁

Not you saying E-man a little b*tch for not admitting they’re sexy! 😂😂😂 I love it here. Instant fan for the BTS videos only but I can see yall making me finally watch some damn anime now too 🤦🏽‍♀️

For the man to say that artists in our country don’t wear makeup? That’s not true? Prince wore makeup, Michael Jackson wore makeup, some heavy metal bands wore makeup

Watch the dance practice and live performance it will definitely hit better

in America actors and rappers tv anchor and etc wear make-up they just don't say nothing cause its normal.

Quick correction bc no one has seemed to mention this yet but idols do have a dating ban for a few years while they’re still new after those years the dating ban is gone and they get to date they just can’t get caught. There have been loads of idols who have dated people and their companies don’t rlly care when they get caught and their are also a few idols who are married and have a child/children.

PewDiePie fell for this Jimin too😭😭😭

Not the first time me seeing men question their sexuality cause of jimin like that man can just pull off both men and women with his perfect visuals and he's soo damn beautiful even without makeup same goes for the other 6 members. And bro its quite normal to act like that when it comes to jimin. I recommend you both to watch men questioning their sexuality cause of jimin like itsss sooo damn funny i literally died laughing cause of it😂

DEFINITELY please do the guide! I still enjoyed the reaction and I want to see more bts reactions. For the guy on the right.. in Korea and K-pop it is a common thing when guys do music video or stage performance to have outfits like these and makeup. It’s like an actor going on stage and getting make up put on. This specific song has that type of sexy theme to it where bts “ mic drop”is more track suits and T-shirts. It doesn’t mean their necessarily gay either. Please be as open minded as possible I would love to see more 😊 please do bts guide it’s long but worth it!! 💜

I love the critique you do. You are real!!!

Know that Jimin was famous of snatching MEN Left and Right. Once you Jim-IN you Can't Jim-OUT. 😏

Again the JIMIN effect is no joke 🥹🔥

JIMIN❤ JIMIN ❤JIMIN❤JIMIN

Their are American artists especially rappers wear makeup tho to.

JIMIN❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

You know what I'm starting digging your reaction vibes tho❤❤

I now understand what you mean by the hated you received. I'm glad you continued to do BTS reactions. Thank you for your dedication to the group and ARMY, even with all the hate.💜

Reaction Jimin likecrazy dance practice and live performances

Jimin effect ❤😂😂😂

Oh The JIMIN effect 😅 Once you JimIN you can't jimOUT 💜 Thank you guys for reacting

Y’all should react to the blood, sweat and tears dance practice !!

2:59 They are not "supposed" to anyone. They are just beautiful, talented men. I call it envy my dear.

showed my mom this video. Jimin got her first

Although it is a different style, every artist on camera/media wears makeup. As a fellow American, Bts definitely has changed my outlook on a lot of things. Especially regarding the expectations we have on men. I think if you continue watching & learning about them, that'll happen for you too.

thats jimin hes very pretty

jimin is so pretty 😍

it’s always jimin 😭

"Blood Sweat & Tears" is the title track from BTS' second studio album, WINGS. The music video for the song was released on 10 October at 12pm KST, four days after BigHit Entertainment released the music video trailer. BTS sing about love. They are known for their multi-faceted songs, and this one is no different. It seems to correspond with the overarching theme of 'Boy Meets Evil', as evident by the many indicators of sin, temptation and Bible verses. BTS compare this person to the devil, saying that their love is 'too sweet', irresistible. Which again corresponds to evil and temptation. However you interpret it, 'Blood Sweat & Tears' is an eye-opening part of the BTS storyline and definitely shatters the world of music. It essentially offers everything it has to fulfil its desires. "You" doesn't refer to a specific person, but rather desires for many things, from fame to recognition, greed to toxic addictions and so on. Our hero can't live without blood, sweat or breath - but he would rather have that desire than his own life.

One other thing that I haven’t seen mentioned is that in SK, at least as far as celebrities/media is concerned, men seem to have absolutely no hang ups re: acknowledging other men are handsome/attractive or even complimenting them to their faces. It’s not treated any differently from complimenting another guy’s watch.

It is the culture of K-pop to wear make up. As for pretty Jimin? There is something called the Jimin effect where men yes straight men are attracted to him. To the one who doesn’t believe we in the west have such a thing? The one artist who Jimin has been compared to for his sexiness is “prince”. Who wore make up and dress feminine. They are humble beautiful men. The video an introduction to the bts members is a good way to understand them, their fan base, and why they are so popular. Oh and their early stuff they go hard! Mic drop, dope, today, and idol

There's a reason so many women swoon over these guys. Men in touch with their feminine side is seriously sexy and BTS just happens to be good, funny people too, which is really appreciated among their female audience (and probably their male audience as well)! I would recommend you search for the terms 'female gaze' and 'male gaze'! It's really interesting to see the difference between what men think women is attracted to and what women is actually attracted to😌

JIMINNN

Not commenting to bust bubbles but American artists do wear makeup. 🙂Most of them you just can't tell. American artists aren't just bare faced in music videos and live performances. Doing the same scenes over and over, for hours under hot lights, skin swelling and sweating is not a good look. If a persons job is in media or the entertainment industry, in front of a camera they have on some form of makeup. Today many male artists have on either foundation or powder to cut down on the shine, bb cream/concealer to cover blemishes, or other types of makeup to keep them from looking a hot mess in their MV. Now men don't wear makeup in the day to day life, neither does BTS. Having beautiful skin and makeup is a part of being a Kpop artist ,and to their fans it does not make them any less masculine. Koreans male/female are known all over the world for their beautiful skin and skin care regimes. Finding and saying another man is beautiful is not a threat to a mans masculinity. My very hetero 78 yr old Dad and my brothers think BTS are some "pretty ass dudes". My dad said these dudes are highly intelligent, have all this talent, musical gifts and they pretty? 😂 My Dad and I bias (favorite) is Suga.

Hi new subscriber here. Love your reactions, specially Jodi's commentary (teasing your friend) ARMY understands your friend's input aka cultural shock but i am so happy that both of you are open minded and willingness to continue your BTS journey. Looking forward to your reaction to the "A Guide to BTS Members, The Bangtan 7" by Taylor Mari. YOU NICE KEEP GOING.
