Looks like I was wrong on a lot 😄 Here's my reaction and thoughts on a few of the top recommended songs from you guys. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z8BnmdV6uLixd3U.htmlsi=eS07SjzLXWIlX3sa

I agree BTS is not for you please don't continue to minimize their contributions to music and move on to music that suite's your tastes

"I might be wrong" Oh man yes you are. All of the members are songwriters and producers, specially the 3 rappers. One of them even has won awards producing songs for other artists. Their discography is huge and you happend to listen to the only 3 songs the group has in english, released during the pandemic just to give some comfort to their fans in those dificult times. Their songs are usually very thoughtful, with deep meaning and beautiful lyrics, talk about their lifes, their struggles, their dreams... They include a lot of genres in their music, if you are interested, just dig a little bit more. There's a lot to discover.

It is so unfortunate that this is the first impression you have of BTS - that they are manufactured, told what to sing, how to dress, etc. Nothing could be further from the truth. With a discography of over 300 songs, about 90% written by themselves (unheard of in KPop) their lyrics are quite profound and meaningful. They have been together for over 10 years, are extremely close (like family) and just signed their 3rd contract with BigHit (HYBE) to extend well past 2025.Three of the members are currently serving their mandatory military service in South Korea and the other four will follow. They have been working on their solo endeavors in the meantime. Their promise to their fans is to come back together in the 2nd half of 2025. These are 7 of the nicest, most humble and intelligent young men you will find. They are incredibly charitable and treat their fans like they are the most important people in the world to them. Hence the undying loyalty from ARMY. I hope you get to discover the real BTS. Thank you for giving them a shot.

You know the saying “you should never assume” and why? your reaction is a perfect example of why.

Anybody watching this reaction can tell that you came into this with pre conceived notions and did not do any research on these boys at all. I am a 67 year old ARMY (their fanbase) and these young talented and insightful beautiful men have enriched the lives of every age group and nationalities all over the world with their message that comes from their hearts and is not manufactured by any means. They started out with Big Hit entertainment, a company with little to no money, and made it with a lot of sacrifice on not only their part but the company . Get to know their back story and start from there. Once the sincerity is there to actually learn about them and there message, I will consider subscribing.

Good lord you picked their 3 English songs that was released during the pandemic to make people feel better as they too were feeling the difficulties of the lockdown and isolation. The fourth song in Korean to give us hope that things will get better. I’m 63 years old and I found BTS after my husband died almost 3 years ago and they had me genuinely smiling and laughing during my grief that friends and family couldn’t do. In my self isolation and cave I only allowed BTS in. Everyone grieves differently and I knew I had to be in that cave for as long as I needed and my wonderful family and friends understood that. I’m feeling better now and started to have energy and motivation. So my point is that, BTS has done this for millions of people, young and old. They are definitely worth taking a deeper dive.

Seriously, their most popular stuff in the US isn't what the buzz is about. Dig deeper!! These guys write and produce their stuff, other people's stuff, any genre, any direction. Dig deeper!! And their lyrics are the best, especially the raplines.

7:00 Respectfully, hearing BTS being described as a “classic boy-band” after barely 7 minutes is almost like hearing the ocean being dismissed as “classic salty water” after barely dipping a toe in it. Yes, they were chosen to form the group. That’s where the similarities to what you describe as a “classic boy band” end. They have more like a music version of the MCU Avengers tbh. Each group member is an accomplished, talented artist in his own right with writing, composing and production credits, and has been for years WHILE being part of the group. Their story is inspiring and their lyrics largely reflect it. The video Guide To BTS: The Bangtan 7 by Taylor Mari is a fairly good introduction re: each member background & how/why they became BTS and can put to rest most of your misconceptions. The BTS Festa Room Live has snippets from 7 b-side songs from different albums, and Proof Live has 3 songs from their most recent (anthology) albums as a group. Group activities are currently on pause until all members complete their mandatory military service (end of 2025) All have released solo albums/singles in 2022-23 showcasing their diverse music styles.

54 yo here. Been enjoying this groups for 8 years now. Proud ARMY. These guys are also the best concert performers I've ever seen. I agree with all commentaries said here. 🌬Open your mind and dig deeper. Share your musical taste and ARMY will guide you. Because of BTS , I will never judge a new artist on first listening. I have since discovered jewels 😊

Well what a way to judge the most talented boyband in the world...

You can't just judged them from listening to couple of their English songs. BTS has many genres, the English songs was only for during pandemic to cheer their fan up. BTS Korean songs are really meaningful. BTS are known for their lyricism in Korean language. They promote self love , love yourself speak yourself. Their songs deal with mental illness, cyber bullying, and many more. BTS are different than any artist or singers. Please react to "The most beautiful life goes on A BTS story 2023 update" and "Guide to Bangtan 7" by Taylor . BTS didn't get to be the biggest group of Artists on this planet for nothing. Thanks 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

thank GOD for the comments. i won't have to watch and ruin my mood. i hope he reacts to more songs and get to see who they really are

I genuinely don't understand how KZfaqrs manage to confidently dismiss musicians based on random song selections. I personally always look through the discography of acts because I can like / didlike one song and feel differently about a whole album. BTS have been around for 10 years and their discography consists of 400+ group and individual songs of which the majority they wrote and usually co-composed. 3+1 songs are hardly an indication of anything related to their musicality, lyricism and authenticity. I don't know you but consider that picking specifically the three English songs is fishy. Their most viewed MVs are Dynamite, Boy with Luv, DNA and Mic Drop. By relevance, it's Dynamite, Jungkook's Seven (solo), Mic Drop, Boy with Luv and Butter. Top Tracks are Slow Damcing by V (solo), Dynamite, My Universe with Coldplay, Butter and Boy With Luv. So where exactly did this list come from? I could say that you had a prejudice and wanted to confirm that prejudice by listening to three songs that confirm it but then I'd judge a book by its cover. Do I assume that you're yet another misogynistic white man asserting dominance over what you perceive to be women's interest or do I give you the benefit of the doubt that I caught a video that's not representative of yourself? I hope it comes through what I'm trying to point out here. As a society, we would all benefit from less judgemental hot takes online and more willingness to just reach out and ask - hey, you like this thing and I wonder if you can show me why you find it great? ARMY are welcoming but we're a tough audience because neither us nor BTS need you to be their fan. They are one of the few artists who can sell out stadium tours across the globe as well as sell physical albums in the millions without bundling. And funny enough, tons of rock & hip hop fans love BTS due to their impressive discography. Their roots are in hip hop and they have plenty of anti-establishment anthems and social commentary. But they are artists unafraid to just release music they know the fans can listen to at the club. Versatility. One of the members is a huge jazz fan and he sang covers as well as released an RnB album recently. One of the rappers held a solo tour where he sang and played piano and guitar as well. Another rapper released a diary-like album conceptualizing gis twenties but instead of big venues, he went to indie stages. The oldest member performed with Coldplay, the youngest is doing some English collabs. Again, 400+ songs with no two sounding the same. If you want a trip, go from We On to Spring Day to Best Of Me to UGH to My Universe to Born Singer (2023 version) and that will give you a peek into how vast their range actually is.

Very unfortunate that your first impression was like this. They are not your typical boy band, they do not autotune unless a specific song calls for it, they made themselves what they are today through struggle and gard work. They write their own music and produce it as well. The songs you chose are great but they do not showcase their exceptional talent.

Dynamite is the first song in English by BTS to enter the American market, permission to dance was released post-pandemic written by Ed Sheraan, My Universe is a collaboration between Coldplay and BTS Both have a hand in the lyrics, Life Góes on was released during the pandemic to give strength and hope to Army fans. But if you give the opportunity to get to know BTS Deeper you will change your mind

army stop giving strength to this kind of react. They're not there for our favs, they're just there for the views. stream the official video

Not here to attack you, don't worry. Each of BTS members are solo artists and they have dark songs and deep lyrics. As usual, like Radiohead, the most popular song is creep. As someone who seems to know music, you would know better to not go by "top songs". You might also have a prejudiced mindset already. I come from alternative and indie music listening, and I like BTS. Perhaps try to learn each member first and see their talents and backgrounds. It also depends on what you go for. I like darker, haunting tracks, or aggressive and cool and well orchestrated tracks. Since you seem to Coldplay (who to me aren't haunting enough since their first album and definitely not aggressive) maybe you go for something different. Anyway, try V's solo work, alternative r&b with splash of jazz. For BTS try "Singularity" (a haunting r&b), "Black Swan" (dark hip hop), "Paradise" (groovy track), "Fly to my Room" (pretty well done song), "Silver Spoon" (a cool hip hop song about life's pressure), "Stigma" (abuse), and pretty well done aggressive tracks like "Fire", "Dionysus", "I Need U", "Run". They also have plenty of ballads "Serendipity", "Truth Be Untold", "Blue and Grey", "Lies", "Awake", "Moon", are some of my favorites. "My Time" is a nice track too. For albums, I'm fond of "Most Beautiful Moment Pt. 2: Young Forever". That album is raw, aggressive, and beautiful at the same time. "I Need U", "Run", "Fire", "Silver Spoon", "Butterfly", "Dope", "Save Me", and "House of Cards" are my favorites. Once you've explored them well, come back and tell us how would you compare them to other boy bands? Do they have as much variety as BTS? Can all their members sing as well as all 4 BTS vocal-line, and can they dance and performance as sophisticately as BTS?

Why do they ask for another chance at BTS? stop being so submissive to KZfaqrs like him, it is known that the majority do it to gain views and even to generate controversy when it is not music they like. Those of us who know their entire discography know why we continue to support them. As a student of music and production, the best thing is always to listen to them without prejudice, and here, the bad vibe was noticeable from the beginning

I"m sorry but it seemed like u did this reaction just to get some views from the army. U were not even genuinely interested. From the start u were like '' whatever''. U were acting like they are so beneath you. Just think once A non English speaking group of 7 boys became the biggest boy bands in the world. Please if u r not interested don't listen to them and its fine. But u were condescending even from first second .

Wow, you can't accurately appreciate a musical group with 10 years of career, more than 200 songs of varied genres, winners of countless awards with only 4 songs in just 7 minutes.

The only thing I care about commenting on this reaction is the number of so-called "ARMYS" that told him that he picked the wrong songs. There are no wrong songs in BTS discography at all. What is wrong is giving some sort of credit to people full of misconceptions and stereotypes and who think of themselves to be better than BTS because... I don't know, they are self-proclaimed experts sitting in a chair on KZfaq. Not to mention his attitude is suspicious as hell. "So… it would seem I have not gone deep enough. If enough BTS fans subscribe, I’ll make a video diving into and ranking BTS solo careers." Basically bribing ARMYs into subscribing to watch more of BTS to increase the number of subscribers. You do you, but I am out of here.

LOL! You are so wrong. You started with the wrong songs. You judged them based on few of their BB hot 100 #1 songs without even knowing who they are, how they started and how they succeeded in the global music industry. BTS is not your typical KPop idol group. The funny thing is that you said they are manufactured. LOL! Just because they are KPop, you think they are manufactured. LMAO! They were trained, yes! They trained for like 1-2 years. The last member, Jimin only trained for about 6 months before their debut in June 2013. Not like other groups who trained for as long as 5, 10 to even 15 years before debuting. They already possess the talents even before they were formed. And speaking of auto-tunes, they use auto-tunes for artistic reason not to cover their vocals. That is why I always recommend to watch them live because they don't use auto tunes for their live performances. Even western artists use auto-tunes in their MVs. LOL! BTS are global A-listers. They're the only artist who got 3 number 1 albums in less than a year since The Beatles. They have broken records set by The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, One Direction etc. They are not just known for being great singers, rappers and dancers but also, their Korean lyrics are so deep, meaningful and inspirational. The message they send through their lyrics, music and artistry resonates with the general public because they tackle depression, anxiety, mental health, discrimination, social expectations, injustices, self love, hard work, following your dreams etc. They have several poppy songs but don't assume that they only have these kinds of music. They have 3 English songs Dynamite, Butter and Permission To Dance which they released during the height of the global pandemic to bring positive vibe and hope to all their fans across the world. Their 3 English songs are not really that deep compared to their Korean songs. And they were written and produced by your western songwriters and producers. LOL! Nevertheless, BTS still performed them because the message is just to bring positive vibes to their fans across the globe as I've said. The seven members are all songwriters, producers and composers. Although they have in-house producers, they are actively involve in writing, composing and producing their songs from their debut album in 2013 to their solo stuff until now. Their music genres include Pop, Disco-pop, Hip Hop/Rap, Latin Pop, EDM, R&B/Soul, Ballad, Funk, Synth Pop, New Age, Moombhaton, Electronica etc. Name it, they have it. As of the present, they have already won more than 900 awards and counting plus individual awards with 36 Guinness World Record. They top Billboard, Itunes, Spotify, and other music platforms. They sell out stadiums across the globe including Sofi Stadium, Allegiant Stadium, Rose Bowl in the US and the legendary Wembley Stadium in England in less than an hour. Getting a BTS concert ticket is like hunger games.Their music videos are insane but they are better live. Their fans ARMY are not just screaming teenage girls but people who are in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s even 60s and 70s. I'm 48 and I'm an ARMY. And FYI, even rock and heavy metal fans are into BTS. So please don't assume that this is all what BTS got. LOL! Just in case you want to give bts a chance but you don't know what songs to react to, here are some recommended ones. Please turn on CC so you can understand the message of their songs.

They produce their own music and they are know for their lyricism

You should try and research deeper into them they have incredible back stories from where they came from and how they became who they are today. They had this program called American Hustle life they went on when they were just starting I love rewatching that series over and over, it was amazing to see how much they grew over the years and now their producing and writing their own lyrics/songs and mv's. They are truly incredible artists :) I would also listen to a few of their older songs as well those are always good!

Your opinion doesn't matter cause it won't change the fact 🤷‍♀️

BTS does lots of genres. US pop with all English is good pop but not good idea of BTS. Examples Black Swan, Mic Drop, Airplane 2, Blood, Sweat and Tears and Truth Untold, Not Today. Their live performances are the best to see their energy. They write most of their other songs and have many serious songs about mental health. 3 rsppers and 4 vocalists with great dance performances.

your mind will be blown if you know them, their song and what they do!!! they are the most talented group ever to come out..

"BTS have fastest accumulation of 6 Billboard No. 1's since the Beatles". Also got 700+ awards(excluding government honour's) They came from a small company, now it as grown due to there 10yrs of hard work I wouldn't recommend any English songs from BTS cause it as less involved go for any Korean songs its usually as deeper meaning & sustains(social commentary, self improvement, self love & hard work) in it & all the members are Songwriters, Producer's & Composer's (3 of the Rappers are the main producers "they have 100+ credits" alongside Pdogg, Bang PD) also received awards for producing for there artists 1st song was Butter(longest charting song in Billboard song in 2022) & as some more records broken which they themselves set it before They do music in different genres and they are way for from typical boy band 6:54 , man you got everything wrong about them, please don't just assume things brother 😕 🤦

It wouldn’t matter what song he chose yo listen to first. He was all set to be disappointed regardless. You can tell from his answer of not knowing why he hadn’t listened before. There will be some who can’t get past themselves in order to appreciate our boy’s genius. Just let him go back to where he came as we move forward with our latest release project.

Oh dear lord. Did you REALLY say that? You'll watch BTS IF WE SUBSCRIBE? Walk away, pal, walk away. We don;t need you and we will not subscribe. We MIGHT watch you, for a while but not if it's this standard. To respond to some of the comments you made ... in the hope of informing you ... even a tiny lilttle bit. PDogg is Korean and one of BTS main producers, and an award winner (Mnet Asian Music Award for Best Producer of the Year, Mnet Asian Music Award for Best Composer of the Year). He is a millionaire. Each and every member who also write and produce. BTS write and produce most of their songs - only the ones in English sound 'American', and the Korean/English ones are from ALL different genres. They are NOT your normal 'boy band' as known in the west. Korean people tend to look young, but Idols are immaculate - it's their job. They do a full day training in a dance studio then go home and work out. they do a 3 hour concert where they sing and dance live, with no intro act, just them, then go back to the hotel and work out. They have a very careful skin care routine, but that's common in Korea, and yes, they wear make up like every western performer and we don't apologise for that. If you don't listen to BTS' Korean songs you will never have any idea. They don't sing about anything specific? All of these songs were made specifically to cheer people up in the pandemic. They didn't want it to be deep. They are not routine BTS songs - They routinely call out deep subjects: abuse, societal expectations, bullying, mental illness, Philosophical and psychological theories, hard labour, haters - they don't make things up but write about their own lives. We've seen the depression and the hate and the bullying, because they each talk to fans live online, sometimes more than once a week. If you're just looking for subs and views, walk on. ARMY don't do that. We don;t need you, we have too many real ARMY reactors sharing BTS music with us If you want to genuinely meet BTS, we'll welcome you - if you are genuine. You don't have to love them, just be honest, and if you don't get the point, then, move on. There are plenty of artists out there who need your attention. BTS don't. 'Live a life, man',

It seem like your not even listing to their music your just trying to find faults on them... You have to go deep to know about them..

so sorry for u.u are not really make an effort to dig dive to their discography.i think u just have an usual judgemental mind for foreigner singer.have a nice day

They actually do sing about meaningful things the 3 English songs are from the pandemic to make us all feel better and lift us up.

you picked the wrong songs. now please do these at least 2 more videos on them do 5 more group songs and 7 solo songs one from each member :) bts write and produce majority of their music. out of the songs you reacted to they wrote for my universe and life goes on as the other 3 are in english which isnt their first language. those 3 english songs were made only for the pandemic to cheer people up. bts make music in korean, japanese, english and said they will try more languages in the future. most of bts music is deep and discusses their lives, mental health, social issues, empowerment etc the western industry only recognized the english songs cause they didnt wanna put bts korean songs on radio. so the songs you chose life goes on is the most "their style" even though bts doesnt have a style they do everything. theyre not a typical boyband they are still a group WHILE having successful solo careers at the same time. theres 3 rappers and 4 singers. they do all genres and they cant be put in a box of "pop group" or "kpop group" or "boyband". lyrics are the main reason bts is so big then comes production then comes their personalities then comes live performances then comes visuals for music videos and lastly cause theyre handsome dudes. majority of their fans are the same age groups 26 - 30 or older and we care about the music more than anything else. group songs : rain lyrics, tomorrow lyrics, louder than bombs lyrics, dope music video, silver spoon lyrics member solo songs : rm life lyrics, agust d/suga haegum music video, jhope more music video, jin the astronaut music video, jimin set me free part 2, V rainy days music video, jungkook still with you lyrics

It is funny when you said that BTS sings without any context at all. Their english songs is kinda giving that vibe because let's admit it, that's how music in US. But if you dig deeper in to the meaning of this songs especially Dynamite, there is a lot of musical referrence on it. BTS known for their music that they created through their blood sweat and tears. You can't say that they were manufactured. They are known for their lyricsism, they tackled different topics and concept, they create their own genre. Tbh, they don't even need to do english, but they love their fans so much, they gave us this wonderful songs. If you really want to listen the real BTS, leave your prejudice and listen to their Korean songs, but you have to respect them when they sing in their own native language.

Let’s be real he only watched less than half of each video! He doesn’t want to know about them or he would of watched the whole video!

You pick 5 songs that were #1 on the BBHot100 charts, Billions of Streams and Digital Song Sales(Historic for a Korean Group) 6 #1 BB200Albums! Dynamite, Butter and My Universe By Coldplay are Grammy Nominated songs! Actually BTS write and sing songs about (Mental Health, Social Issues, Love Yourself, Speak Yourself and their Love and Appreciation for Army Fans) I'm 64 and BTSARMY since 2015, "BTS To Infinity and Beyond!" 🙋🏽🤗✌️🇺🇸 Thanks for your reaction most of which you skipped over, Borahae! 🤔🤨🙄💜✌️ #BTSxArmyGlobalDomination

They are not a classic boy band. I have seen boy bands come and go. I'm a 66yr old ARMY (name of their fandom). I too started by listening to the same songs as you. I wanted to know more about them. Their music is phenomenal. Their lyrics are extremely deep and thought provoking. They are not just some group thrown together because someone needed money. These seven men have struggled so much to get where they are today. Discography of over 300+ songs of which they have written some part of, if not all. Over 700 music awards, 12 Billboard awards and 5 Grammy nominations. They are kind, humble, compassionate, caring.....I could go on. Please check out The Guide to BTS: The Bangtan Seven by Taylor Mari. This guide will provide the information into each member and their history. I really think you could give them another chance by watching it. Did I mention that they rap? I hope you will find them to be as amazing as I have. Borahae💜💜💜💜

Please dive into *The Rise of Bangtan* documentary 🙌 You will begin a whole journey of BTS debut days when they first came up in the order and will see their growth 😊 You will like it, I am sure❤ P.S.Hope will see no cut versions of your reactions in future💯

ARMY, don't subscribe to KZfaq channels like this, they don't know how BTS works so hard...they just watch and comment as they please...be careful if you don't want the army to react

Pity you came into this reaction with your own assumptions. You're seriously missing out the very best of their music. Do yourself a favour and research them more before making presumptions that they just string some music and sound and autotune their vocals. BTS did not get to be where they are just like that. Their fandom is a world wide base of 50 over million of all ages and still growing. Their discography covers more that 300 songs, they have more than 700 awards. These accolades speak to how accomplished they are. Just a cursory short glance here and there and not even having the courtesy to finish even one of these few songs, is such a discredit not just to BTS, but reflects that you need to get more information before making such an uneducated guess. There is a reason why some of these few MVs have more than a billion views.

OK - Please be aware that some of the things you are accusing them of (Being manufactured, being a product, not writing their own music or being in control of their art, being pretty faces with no substance) are the kind of unfounded things that have been thrown at them their entire career and will be very triggering to ARMY, who have fought for years to protect and defend them from an insane level of hate and attacks (including career sabotage attempts, many death threats, slander, lies, accusations....just believe me when I say that it's been a lot.) BTS are not manufactured, they are indie artists who are self-made despite a massive amount of industry pushback and suppression. They were basically the only artists at their tiny, indie label and they and their main producer, CEO Mr Bang Si-Hyuk built it from the ground up into the powerhouse that it is today. I don't care if you believe that or not, but it's incredibly well documented since they started on youtube in 2013 and filmed basically their whole lives for the last 10 years, highs and lows, all out on the table. It's actually the most incredible come up story I have ever heard. And they have had creative control of their music and their messaging from the moment they started as teenagers. Yes, that is extremely unusual in the industry and that is because the founder of their tiny label, Mr Bang, was aiming for a revolution in the music industry that favors artists' real voices. They are also a Hip Hop based artists, with three of the best rappers in the world period, but they also cover an insanely diverse number of genres including Hard Rap/Hip Hop, Pop, EDM, R&B, Neo Soul, Ballads, Latin Pop, Rock, and more. These first three songs are the only English songs they have in their whole discography, which is 20 group albums, 10 solo albums and hundreds of songs deep, including singles, OSTs, collabs and covers. These three songs are just fun, pure sugar, bops meant to cheer people up during the height of the pandemic and not typical of their music AT ALL. They were actually shocked when these songs blew up like they did. People appreciated the pick-me-up during the pandemic. RM, the group leader, calls them a Trojan Horse to draw people into their other music. They didn't write these songs, which is unusual for them, though they did modify them and add to them, including adding sign language in Permission to Dance. They were trying to make them as easily accessible as possible to help lift people up during a dark time. Which is why they are all so bright. As to why these particular songs are the ones on the top of billboard, that is a whole long other story involving industry suppression, racism, xenophobia and other things. If you don't know how the music industry works on a pay to play and back scratching basis and how BTS is an industry outsider who refuses to pay, then it can be hard to understand all of this. That's a long and involved story that has to do with the monopolies in the global music industry and why they consider BTS an enemy. You can find many videos about those issues, like boracity magazine's video "why the music industry is terrified of BTS." One of their rappers just completed a world tour that is the most lucrative for any rapper in history. Millions of fans are not idiots. BTS is a thinking person's band, with lyricism and themes drawn from history, psychology, philosophy, soci-political and economic issues, current events, life struggles, personal stories, poetry and literature, religion and mythology and visual arts. All their albums are concept albums that run on themes and often in sets, with layers of storytelling that runs across multiple albums. Their musicality is top notch with all the members song writing and producing but especially the three rappers, and doing really interesting and unusual things with song structures and melodies and their voices, which are all amazing by the way. Their biggest fans are songwriters, performers, rappers, singers, producers, musicians, dancers, videographers, storytellers - because they recognize the technical skill and talent in what they do. Their deep, multi-layered lyricism and their broad cultural impact is actually being studied now in colleges all over the world. Their dancing is world class art, particularly j-hope and Jimin who have won national awards as dancers alone, and their choreography is top notch visual performance art storytelling. They have a self-imposed mission to bring love and healing to the world through music and their label's motto is "Music and Artist for Healing." ARMY is more of a global social movement than a fanbase and has done massive and historic things charitably. I would urge you to take a better look and toss your biases and misconceptions in the trash. Signed a 50+ year old Educator who is ARMY for life, as is my Nuclear Engineer husband and my Martial Arts Instructor son. Their appeal, and their fanbase, is incredibly diverse.

seriously, very wrong choices of songs for the first time reacting to BTS lol... the 3 English songs are some of their most popiest songs and it's only released during the pandemic to help cheer people up, and Life Goes On is telling ppl to live on and don't give up during the pandemic.. it's not even close to defining who BTS really is and why they deserve to be called The Biggest Band in the World. You have NO IDEA what kind of background BTS comes from and how much they have to struggle to be where they are today, so please don't assume they are just some group thrown together to make money. I really hope you can check out more of their Korean songs which they write and produce the majority of their work. Please pay attention to their lyrics, especially the rap parts!!! Please check out Fake Love MV, Black Swan MV, and Tomorrow lyric video.... I have to say, their solo stuff are some of the deepest stuff even more than their group songs.

Hi... thank for your reaction... i'm a 47 Years old, Brazilian Army... they have such amazing songs... they talk about a Lot of dificults subjects and they help a Lot of people in the world with their songs... i Hope u keep reacting to them... please react to Black Swan, Mic drop, on: a Kinect manifesto, and the BTS Room live... This Will give u a little taste of their songs....oh!!! And please don't CUT the songs...thank u again... 💜

if you are interested in their story, you should watch "This is BTS Introduction to BTS " by xCeleste.. their back story is incredible, they are not what you think they are.. They all produced and write their own songs.. one of the members even produced for other artist.. They are so many documentaries about them here in youtube.. I think you should react to them, to know who they are, as a 1st time listener.

He intends every reaction in order to seek interaction BTS doesn't need your opinion

BTS is a true rags to riches story. litterally. they came from a very little agency and they were told they would never make it because the major agency rules the media in korea just like in the US. however what happened was Army (fans) made them popular through social media. we saw how amazing they where and they are now the best selling korean artist in the world. they all slept in 1 little bedroom with bunkbeds when they was a traine. they would practice so much and only sleep for a few hours a day. that type of hard work is rare to find now a days. and they improved fast and it´s amazing because ALL of their journey is captured on camera so one army collected all videos to tell their story and it´s professional made. the rise of bangtan is really amazing and you will get to know more about kpop too. and how different it is and also why they look so much more younger and feminine. it´s part of their culture.

They are pretty damn dope! I don't "follow" them, but I love their energy, sound, swag...I love the energy & dancing. My step mom is in her 60's and she addicted them, lol. She got ME hooked, lol.

You ticked every single box about how preconceived and judgemental your reaction was going to be. You already have 144 comments about how wrong you were and why, so I'm not going to explain it again to you. It's up to you if you listen to what people are saying in comments or not as Army aren't all rabid fangirls that suck up vapid happy meaningless pop songs that contain no real substance. There is a reason so many Army exist out there and why BTS resonate so deeply with people across the entire globe. It's up to you to discover why they are so successful or don't for yourself if you really want to understand!

What is wrong with you? Dig deeper. They're smart, song writers. Solo artist. I am so proud of them, as young men, and how they grew . I just heard about this group ,and learned more about young men. And I fell in love with them. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.

You’ll get way more subscribers if you do a more thorough and open-minded intro-journey into BTS. Then if you enjoy them, the subs will come in droves. You could do a simple video explaining what music you enjoy & what you like to focus on & Army will help guide you and find a place to start. For example, some reactors focus on their actual musicality, some on MV production & cinematography, some on lyrics, some live for the rap line, others for the vocal line, or the dancing etc. Some like it all and enjoy the camaraderie with Army. 💜 And part of the reason they look so young is because (a) South Korea is famous for its skin care and (b) they take really good care of themselves. Right now, 3 of them are doing their mandatory military service in SK and the other 4 will soon follow with a full return of BTS in 2025, so I assure you that these are men, not boys. They are also well rounded young men with immense talent, each unique and blessed with good character. If your reactions are choppy, I personally won’t watch. I want to listen to an entire song when I watch reactors and I watch a TON of them. And just to dispel the common trope that Army is all young screaming girls, I am a 54 yr old woman in 🇺🇸 who found BTS by accident in 2022 when I saw their cover of I’ll Be Missing Young on BBC radio 1 YT channel. They have changed my life. They have tons of content aside from music as well. They are all natural born comedians, and their bond with one another is inspiring. You will likely love them just like the tens of millions of Army do, and I bet they will enrich your life. And just since this ridiculous comment is so freaking long, here are some basic tips for reacting to BTS: 1. Most of their songs have Korean in them, so use close captions on the MVs to understand the lyrics. Or read lyric translations beforehand so you’ll know what a song is about. 2. After you’ve done a few songs, react to the Taylor guide to BTS so you understand who they are. Make the captions large enough so Army can follow too. 3. Always let a video play completely through. Just because it fades to black doesn’t mean it’s over. 4. I prefer reactors who keep the BTS video large and their face smaller and not covering the members’ faces. 5. Feel free to watch something more than once in a rxn. Some folks listen first to just enjoy & then 2nd watch to focus on what they’re interested in. That’s enough for now. Good luck if you decide to come along. 💜

I actually don't mind when KZfaqrs react to the English songs first. Reacting to BTS is an art and not many reactors get it right on the first try because they have some preconceived ideas which need to be dispelled. And I know that Army will do their job in the comments! 😂😂

"I might be wrong" Yes you are wrong😂

that is the same view people have on them when they only see the english songs. and no offence but all music in the US now a days is the same. i became a fan of BTS before they made these songs. BTS is so much more. they have music in almost all genres. name one you like and we will recommend a song. many people fall in love with BTS after they hear their korean songs btw. this is just attention grappers. but needed in that time (covid) when people needed something to make them smile. BTS have the most deepest emotionel and poetic lyrics in the world right now. RM their leader with the deepest voice is a poet and a rapper and has over 200+ writing credit and Suga has 170+ and he produce too. they each have solo albums by now and they have always made solo songs even as part of BTS. so they have proven themself to be 7 amazing artists not just superficial boy bandmembers with maybe one or two good singers like you know from the west. the thing about BTS is that they do it all. you can find songs like these amarican produced but mainly their songs are in korean and hip hop is their main genere. i recommend looking at black swan, that song is artistic and the lyrics are deep reflection on their fear of loosing their passion for music. they actually made a instrumental version with a classic dance theme that tells the story of the black swan. and yes it is similar to the ballet.

Nope , american cannot do patience & brotherhood , sacrifice that they have. If you just give them a chance you will love them. Down to earth,humble ,passionate on what they do & mostly love & appreciate the support of ARMY💜💜💜. They are not your typical western boyband

I'm 40 second in, I can tell you have a negative attitude about BTS. So, I went thru the comments and I'm right. Then I looked at other videos of yours and you go into them with a positive attitude. Now I'm going to watch... WOW Please DO NOT react to them again. You want us to subscribe so you can rank BTS!?! 😂🤣😅

I only subscribe to channels that play the whole song and don't chop it up.

‘They have producers and writers who are doing all this’, yea them, when you googled who producers for BTS you can literally see that multiple members are listed as producers. They produce/write their own stuff and have even won awards for producing songs for other artists. It’s so clear from the start of this video that you’ve already got an idea of who you think BTS are and aren’t really interested in challenging that idea. Not even going to touch some of the other stuff you said because fellow ARMY already have and quite frankly it’s the same exhausting stuff people who know nothing about BTS love to spout.

I Found BTS through their outrageously great Rap line. RM, Suga/ Agust D, and J Hope. These songs are not typical. These songs are part of their happy cheer everybody up from covid blues. You could not be more wrong about their multi genre content ( Suga has won awards for production alone...on top of the over 750 they have as a group), but it's not your fault. They have songs about depression, social anxiety, referring to tragedies such as the Sewel disaster. They have spoken in front of the UN on multiple occasions. The world takes their voice very seriously. So before you write off these 7 writer producer composers watch TAYLOR MARI GUIDE TO THE BANGTAN 7. Not only is it highly entertaining but it will educate your opinion, because at the moment you are looking a little silly.

Their English songs are not really representative of who they are as artists, since their songs in English were written by other people. Their self written Korean songs are not confined to one genre, so there is a BTS song for every taste in music. I started listening to BTS because their music was unlike anything else I had ever heard, but I became ARMY because of their message. Their main goal is to spread hope, positivity, and healing, and to teach people to love themselves, and they put their money where their mouth is. Just this week to celebrate their resigning of their contracts with their agency they donated a million dollars to UNICEF to protect children all over the world. They are also extremely humble individuals. How can you hate on people like that?

What? I don't normally comment on videos but I was about to have a heart attack when I heard what you said... You have the wrong mindset.. You know absolutely nothing about these guys! They started from scratch

I hope you wont react to BTS anymore so i wont waste my time watching your channel. Thank you anyway.

Why chop the song and not also understanding the lyrics, your just looking to their Face.. we ARMY love to watch reactor who will listen to the whole song, understand the lyrics ..we don't care even if its a long video.. we dont want someone who cut the videos /song .. most of all we dont one someone who is ranking the member, because every member have their own unique way of dancing, singing, and rapping.. we may have are own bias but we love and respect all the member equally...

Genuine question: how did you choose what bts songs to react to? I'm genuinely curious

Bro..Don't give reaction on something you have no idea or interest about , it looks really idiotic ..if you don't like them don't listen to them as simple as that.. What you reacted about are english song so they are definately going sound like english pop not indian or bangladeshi pop (Common sense🙄🙄).Fans are not idiots..We can see what you are trying to do....Good Luck😑😐

Also ARMY, remember that vid Boracity made about youtubers. This guy is def the kind that would pull an Amari or what ever the f his name is. DO YOUR RESEARCH & MAKE SURE THIS GUY IS GENUINE (doesn't seem so) BEFORE YOU SUB (if that's the plan) Bts means more to us than reactors. I know spreading their music has become a passion for many Army but some ppl (imo) don't deserve Their music. My 0.02.

Why skipping the song...you have to know them if your interested but seems there not your type..

yall needa stop forcing narrow minded ppl like this one to dig deeper. he doesnt like bts, end of discussion.

OMG How wrong are you. Hope to see you dig deeper and discover the depth of these very talented men. I agree with other comments that say to watch their solo work first to get to know them individually. And then imagine what they can do together. They are very involved in what they write and produce. This reaction was very superficial and disappointing, sorry. 💜💜💜 By the way I’m a 49 y/o Army from The Netherlands who loves alternative music, rock, metal and pop. And now BTS is my favorite band. They are very talented, they bring positivity and they make a connection with their fans. They inspire people. It’s a shame that people who don’t know them yet, always have this negative prejudice about them. A pretty face and some nice beats doesn’t bring an Army of fans together in the millions all over the world. There must be something more, don’t you think?

Thank you for trying to listen to BTS. I am sure my fellow BTSARMY have been “lecturing” you. BUT!!! BTS music is not just music. They have produced albums in a long story lines through multiple years incorporating various fields of arts. Their music arts include literature (both classics like Greek mythology and contemporary like Demian), performing arts, visual arts, fine arts, even philosophy and psychoanalysis fields. Their music is so big and meaningful, scholars in various fields all over the world came together and had international colloquiums. Dr. Murray Stein,a Jungian psychoanalyst published a book that dissects lyrics of BTS album Map of the Soul: 7. I hope that you are open to learn more about BTS and continue amazing journey. Thank you again!!!

If you want to be a decent reactor then have some respect for the artists you are reacting to. It was not very nice of you to laugh at parts of their performance throughout the whole reaction and then assume this that and the other. Do some research before start a reaction. You came in with your mind already made up. Just wow….

Honestly, about all your wrong assumptions about BTS, I have nothing else to say. Please just continue thinking whatever it is what you think BTS is, at the end of the day your opinion that came from ignorance doesn't hold any weight. Also I hope my comment won't come off as offensive cause I really like that you're honest about your reaction to BTS. Cause if you were like any reactor who pretended they like these songs and instantly liked BTS, I wouldn't have bothered commenting.

I’m sure you are hearing a lot of comments. Please start at the beginning. You’re talking about 10 years of development. The songs you chose were to help Army feel better after Covid. If you want in-depth watch some of the songs explained by Koreans series. Layer upon layer of meaning.💜

You know nothing about BTS. You listened to them for 5 minutes and then decided that you have a take on them and their music. Sooo small minded

Ooooohh! I’m so frustrated 😂I know he’s ignorant and uncultured and uneducated and uninformed but he’s pushing me buttons lol

The man is acting like we are desperate for his reactions, trying to bribe us. Lol What i will say is that they have more music in many many different styles and genres.

Do you really really really really think BTS has been being the biggest group in the world and get billion views with only several songs that you hear? It must be make you curious, knowing you listen to many genre of music. You said BTS more appealing when they sing in Korean.. you're so right. Soooo, why don't you listen more of their songs in Korean? Don't forget to click the cc button. P.S. The most important is: don't cut the video! It's terrible to watch. I'm 55, have been an ARMY since 2017.

I can’t wait to for this bloke to be absolutely roasted by ARMYs, of the 5 songs you listened to out of a discography of over 400+ songs and the judgement OH Wow 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈

Hopped right out of this reaction. BTS has the depth you could never imagine

These are "pandemic" songs and meant to cheer us up. It's easy listening but that shouldn't be taken as a bad thing - it helped a lot of people going through really unpleasant stuff. There were artist who didn't release a song during the whole pandemic and just disappeared. Our boys tried to help us as best as possible. We all should appreciate that - no matter our music preferences

I came from your recent BTS video and I'm glad you looked in to it more. I know people are being very protective but BTS is more than just music for most fans (and I'm not talking about their looks or whatever lol.) I actually liked that your reaction was genuine. Everyone already has said it but their english songs are peoduced that way because they were meant to cheer people up during lockdown. I hope you stay genuine with every reaction. I'd recommend the guide to BTS by Taylor (if you're not interested in getting to know the band even tho it is highly recommended then I'd just look into their solo work.) Jin wrote a song with Chris called The Astronaut and they had a beautiful live performance together. I would highly recommend :)

Bts doesn't need just another chanell ,cose they are huge,they are humbleand very tallented people and they are on the top. You seem not be interested in their music which is ok. But pls show them the respect they deserve All the best and i hope you'll never react to bts if you can not respectfull🎉

You should react to some solo work in parallel. I recommend suga's Agust-D work, in particular deschwita, haegum, amygdala, burn it, give it to me, snooze, people (not to be confused with people pt 2) RM: wild flower, uggood, still life, everything goes, forever rain J-Hope: more, arson, and hope on the street with j cole V: singularity, inner child, stigma, love me again, rainy days, slow dancing Jung kook: euphoria live at wembley, still with you, stay alive and seven Jimin: set me free pt 2, like crazy, serendipity, filter, and lie Jin: epiphany, moon, the astronaut Live performance: MMA 2019, cypher medley, rapline singing outro tear at wembley, born singer

You really boiled my blood never ever wanna see you again😂

Alexa..... how do you dislike a youtube video more than once?

Thank you for your reactions, it’s okay if they are not your cup of tea. Hope you find something you really enjoy in moving on in your pursuit of new music.

Just stop wasting our time and yours if you are coming into this ill - informed and with preconceived notions about BTS. JUST DON'T!!

ngl it is a little sus that there are barely any other music reactions in your uploads - reacting to songs is not your norm🤔

I feel like you went into this with mindset already set, and you pick out things that would only reinforce that mindset.

you have chosen songs not written by the band, these songs are written by American producers, for people who do not like to go deep. "the American market implies songs without much meaning." That's the conclusion I came to when I heard these songs. because the guys themselves write songs with a deep meaning, which sometimes you can't guess right away

BTS fandom ARMY is officially 41m worldwide, and 90+m unofficially. Do you think this is some sort of syndrome or that they could amass a following like this being handed light hearted pop tracks using autotune? Then why isn't everyone doing it? ARMY will try and convince you to like them but I say if you don't want to take the time to know the real BTS then thanks for listening but goodbye. Just don't use them for clicks and views because you will definitely get that with this video!💜

Army's... I hope you can tell this man is clearly a fake reactor. He did his homework, alright. He purposely chose those songs and very arrogantly proceeded to put BTS down and "stereotype them" he already knows about BTS and probably doesn't care much for them so he watched other reactors and figured he would gain lots of attention(sub's and likes) by going about it this way! He was smirking throughout the video. I was so disgusted by his actions, I didn't even finish watching! We as Army's can see right through these type of ppl! Pls be careful of these types! 💜💜💜

You look like you’re not loving it ??? It will be interesting how army and the public will respond to you 🥱lol

3:11 Suga is nearly 30 year old man but I get it that you think he's 12. 0:00 2:04 2:21 4:14. 5:56. 6:32

Thank you in advance for not reacting anymore BTS, anything about BTS - I'm really thankful for that, really.

add these songs: Magic Shop, Bulletproof:the eternal part2 and buterfly and also make one video reaction for their love yourself album please and also dig deeper into it because you will be shocked once you get to know them they also have different shows or whatever its called like run bts , american hustle life ,bon voyage and in the soop and i would recommend you to listen to their solo songs as well

Alot of people have preconceived notions about BTS , first if you are starting a group you know nothing about , do some reserach . Second of all get a variety of songs to try , one or two songs doesnt make the entire discography. We love it when people are genuinely curious about the boys but dont listen to one or two songs and write them off , if you are genuinely interested, try some more songs in thwir native tongue . We wont be mad if you still dont like them or their music as long as you gave them a chance . Hope we arent too harsh , ARMY ( the fanbase) can be overwhelming sometimes

You reacted to songs they gave the world to cheer people up during the pandemic, which worked for millions, and you missed the hype people talk about. Your analysis of how much control they have over their lyrics, music, dress, production, choreography, and everything else missed the mark so I'd love it for you to listen to more of their music and get to know more about them. They are some of the best people, musicians and performers you'll ever meet. BTS, by the way, is not a typical K-Pop group. I'm a BTS ARMY (fan) so I'll wait to see how it goes to subscribe.

LOL! Well... ok. Glad you gave it another shot after this. OUCH!
