As a 66-year-old man and an ARMY I'm just going to say one thing In response to something you said. I know culturally it can be different but generally speaking being emotional as a man is not only okay and acceptable, it's preferred. Men showing emotion is not a bad thing. Men who hold emotion in, however, for whatever reason can be more unhealthy. Holding emotions back and bottling them up and not sharing them with people can really mess with your mental health. Humans are emotional beings without regard to gender. If something makes you emotional and you are able to express that you will find much appreciation and it allows others to empathize with you.
@imajinallthepurple6 ай бұрын
Very well said. Holding things in only leads to so much pain and/or explosive reactions. Expressing emotions as a man should be normalised. It would benefit everyone.

I agree... it's ok to say I am not ok and to express it. If want a healthy and high EI, get therapy and express ur emotions. There are no right or wrong answers. You feel what you feel. There is nothing wrong with that. We're not robots. We're living emotional beings and we should be taught to express them in a healthy way.

That’s one of the best things about being ARMY - being openly emotional. As an Asian American, I’ve been taught to not openly cry or show emotion bc it means weakness but it’s refreshing to see Korean men share their emotions, like BTS. It’s genuine and freeing.

I used to cry a lot when I was little, so much that my family taunted me back then and even now. Growing up, I shut all of my emotions down and never let anyone see me cry anymore, no matter the circumstances. I think that's part of why I identify so much with Suga. He really helped me grow and learn how to manage my emotions. I haven't even known them for 6 months, but each member gave me comfort somehow. That's just crazy to me how fast people people grow attached to the guys. I really love Bangtan and Army so much 💜

The fact that you were so quick to educate yourself and learn more about BTS, and that you come across as genuinely upset when you see the hate, just proves that you're a decent person. Even if you had preconceived notions of BTS in the past due to stereotypes around you, it didn't take much convincing for you to realize that was wrong. It's really nice to see. Don't beat yourself up too much, man, if we're raised in certain environments, we can't always help our perspectives until someone else comes along and shows us a new one.

“Recording an album in a garage”- this was July 2014 when they were in LA for the Korean reality show American Hustle Life and at the same time they were recording their 4th album Dark & Wild. Since they were away from their BigHit studio, the producers bought all new sound equipment in LA, (for a lot cheaper than they could buy in Korea) and used one of their friend’s garage. They recorded their singing at a nearby studio. So it is not like they started off in some random garage, this is how they recorded and produced in-between filming the show. They had a proper studio and company building in Seoul.

Some of this nonsense persists today. Recently both V and Jimin got death threats online, and some women followed V into the elevator at the parking garage of his apt building and got arrested for stalking. BigHit’s legal dept. goes after any threats, slander, etc to the extent of the law and does not settle out of court. They report their legal actions on Weverse every quarter.

I'm an older American woman who found BTS in early 2021. I've watched all these videos and also got angry. I also got angry thinking I came out of these lines of heritage with such stupidity and ignorance. I think if people have never traveled outside their home country, they are more likely to be this way, but that's no excuse. These are supposedly educated people making these comments. I have no respect for Any of them! Also, I don't know all the idol groups that were so mean to BTS and, as a result, I really don't listen to or watch idol groups other than BTS. BTS has forgiven many of them, but I'm not as strong as they are in that regard. Another thing you need to watch is behind the scenes at some of BTS' concerts - different kind of hardships shown there. These guys give their 100%+ to put on a good concert or show for their fans. I've NEVER seen artists so hard working and so caring about their fans. ANYWAY, thank you for having an open heart and mind and going down the BTS journey! It is well worth it, in my opinion. You are welcome with open arms.

Suga has been through so much, that l cannot even imagine his pain, but he has been overcoming and overcoming all those traumas that many people could feel his development. He is not a person who expresses his feelings well but when it comes to music, he becomes very expressive about himself. And l believe that helped him a lot by expressing his feelings and letting out emotions stuck in his body. l have recently heard his latest album and saw suga crying his eye out while singing in his final concert before his enlistment so l am not sure if he entirely overcomed it, but he said he has been a lot comfortable now compared to his pasts.

Okay so V wasn't particularly from the poorest bg its just tht his granparents were farmers nd his parents use to do business. He was sent to his grandparents when he was very young nd if i remember right he spent his childhood until the time he got into bts was wd his granparents so he was basically much more attached to them bcz they were more like his parents. He recently gave an interview on you quiz on the block nd talked bout how he used to sleep wd his granmom nd u can feel how much he was close to her. When we say wV is very humble it means he is to the lvl noone can understand. And she passed when he was in indonesia ig for a show wd his grp so he could't be there when his grandmom left. After few days bts won an award nd that was not even a month later her passing nd tht show gets broadcasted on tv so he thanked his parents nd his grandmom in the winning speech nd later when this concert happened tht u saw he was crying he revealed tht a lot of u were concerned bout me tht t happened to V why is he so silent nd sad so bcz fans were concerned bout his well beig he revealed tht his grandmom passed nd tht award he gave ashout out to his grandmom since she always wanted to see him on tv but it was a little late nd he burst out bcz ARMY is like a family to BTS but who knows he will get dragged for something so vulnerable.

I had to close my Twitter and other social media accounts cause as a Deep Southern born women, we don't let such crap slide!!!

Also if not for those blessed Army that filmed and posted so many things, i don't think the guys would of been so loved here in America or other countries...Thank you ARMY'S 🫰💜 i have watched and learned to love these special young men since back in 2015 and have cried many tears along with them.

Hi there, I'm so happy you have been reacting to BTS. I first watched your channel when you were reacting to K-dramas, such as Itaewon Class. I really value your honesty, not only in comments but also in emotions. As you get to know BTS, I highly encourage you to watch Boracity Magazine. Her channel is an ARMY channel, and she does have a point of view on things, and her videos are so well thought out and well-researched. You also need to check out an ARMY-made docu-series of BTS called the Rise of Bangtan - again super well-edited, well -researched and professional videos. Rise of Bangtan not only details BTS's history through the words of the BTS members, but also includes interviews and points of view on K-pop as an industry, and also perceptions of other K-pop idols. So looking forward to more of your content!

Second, it seems you love to do deep dives and want to react to them in parallel with your music reactions. May I recommend Boracity’s channel, where she argues on behalf of BTS and disputes rumors and naysayers? Also, “Rise To Bangtan” is a FANMADE documentary series, and it is by far one of the BEST origin stories/documentaries that are NOT made by Big Hit themselves. It ends before the Pandemic, but it’s SOO addicting. You can find it here on YT. Run BTS only gets better. Their music is MUCH MORE INTERESTING because they are interesting and sincere human beings behind the scenes. 💜

So it was a pleasant surprise to see you starting reacting to BTS, which I've been a huge fan of since 2017. :,) I must say that I had some kind of prejudice towards you when I clicked the first video (just like you yourself had before knowing anything about BTS) because A LOT of people do react to BTS on KZfaq when they realise they get a lot of views and maybe money from it, and it's obviously fine if it starts that way and you then realise "Oh, I actually like them!😁✌️" , and I must say that you quickly became one of my favorite reactors of BTS Content. :,) your videos reacting to them just seem so genuine and I adore that you always stop the video if it's something you wanna talk about and then rewind to the point of the video you might have missed. You generally seem interested and invested and it's such a joy to watch. Keep going, you seem like an incredible emotionally intelligent person and I cant wait to see more upcoming content from you. 💜🙏

15:45 I'm a '23 Army, so still learning myself, but from what I understand the accusations mostly come from RM's track 'Joke' which just use typical insults towards men (but are actually insulting to women instead, like calling a man a pussy - which implies that being a woman is less than - but are also really common, and these sorts of typical things can be used by women too), it was also a time in SK when there was a huge uproar related to violence against women so it was perfect timing...from what I understand the track that BH/BTS apologized for was War of Hormones, but I think BTS was thrown under the bus for this one. The lyrics are actually really poorly translated and imply things that can mean on thing in English but not have the same connotation in Korean....so, while yes, it was great for them as men to have a better understand of how patriarchy effects language and insults - BTS themselves really weren't being what they were accused of, or at least they weren't doing anything that wasn't a cultural norm at the time (like Jin being a bit rough with a woman in the Boy in Luv MV, but was based on scenes from popular dramas at the time - which he himself felt really bad about and kept apologizing for in the behind the scenes).

Me too, I have heard a lot about BTS K-Pop band before but I didn't really took the time to listen to their music and watch their videos. Up until I stumbled Jung Kook's awesome mini-concert video live in Times Square that I was enormously curious about him and BTS. From then on, I couldn't stop watching their videos! 😉 Watching this reaction video has given me a lot of thoughts, learnings ( the struggles and pain) leading to and behind SUCCESS, and most of all, huge respect for BTS. I truly appreciate your very sincere reaction to this amazing story. Being a Filipino living in Europe, I could feel and relate much to this story. Thank you so much and will watch many more of your reaction videos. ❤

22:39 yes especially because V was raised mostly by his grandma since his parents were too poor so she was like a parent to him

Thank you for your reaction to this too! I saw this video so many times, and still it makes me cry everytime..what they had gone through is insane.. till today they still getting de@th treats, much hate for stupid things..many other fandoms playing together to boycotting them. And always we ARMY'S are the bad fandom..but we don't do stuff like them to their favs. Jealousy is a bad disease. We are very protective torwards them and that's exactly the reason why! They Calling us the obsessed fandom. For my opinion is obsession and protective 2 different things. Army=karma and they should already know that. Everytime BTS comes back stronger..can't wait till 2025 OT7 back as one. They aren't done with haters ya'll 😊lots of Love from Belgium 💜💜

The V incident hits me always the hardest, coz he was so close with his grandma, and around that time my grandmom who I adored also died. To imagine that during sucha a difficutlt ime to be attached by hundreds of people in sucha digusting manner....But Tae pulled through, and what is even more admirable he kept his honest and loving soul even after this horrible incident, that in many of us would kill any love towards humanity. AS for your part, dont worry, we all hare on a journey to grow and learn, I think all of us have a topic where we can be ignorant. What is important is to learn from our mistakes and keep being open-minded.

Thankyou for your reaction on this video. I appreciate you taking the time to actually get to know them. They're definitely worth the effort. And thankyou for being vulnerable and open about our Tannies and about yourself during your video...we really do love that!! A few of the many reasons we love them is because they are open, vulnerable and emotionally intelligent men. They're incredibly wise and they're true to themselves no matter what. Also they've always treated everyone with respect and kindness...despite how they've been treated.

I have to give props to you for being informed about Japan's colonial history. One thing I dislike about xCeleste's video is that it doesn't give proper context, for example the fact that multiple Korean celebrities have worn the same T-shirt even on TV but it "suddenly" became an issue for BTS - and mind you, most international K-pop fans sided with the Japanese nationalists which is what made a localized fake outrage into international gossip. Same happened with the supposed "misogyny" which was orchastrated by a "feminist" publication in Korea who basically target men for notoriety - hence the air quotes, they aren't really feminists. They even picked apart the line "break the ceiling that cages you" from Not Today as being "misogynistic" because...reasons. I'm a feminist and not even a mild one, pretty radical, so if BTS had ever been misogynistic, I would have noticed. There's a world of a difference between writing about how you viewed the world as a teenboy and actually perpetuating hate and BTS have said multiple times that several of their early songs were words for their younger selves or words they wanted to express as kids but lacked the maturity to do so.

Listening to RM’s speech at the UN I realized he was talking about me. Although I thought I was too old to be a fan, I started to listen to them through their music and realized their message is for all of us. Like you recently experienced they touch your heart and soul. Even as a 71 year old grandmother I can still learn from these extraordinary seven. My respect and love is great. BTS stands for the Korean phrase Bangtan Sonyeondan (Korean: 방탄소년단; Hanja: 防彈少年團), which translates literally to 'Bulletproof Boy Scouts'. According to member J-Hope, the name signifies the group's desire "to block out stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations that aim on adolescents like bullets" . That’s my hope and desire too.

Suga had an accident due to which shoulder injury for almost 10 yrs and then finally its surgery , appendix , his mom had heart surgery his dad had liver cancer and he was also from a poor family due to which his parents disapproved his music work and wanted him to do some govt job .. He even on time told he had to choose between taking busses or eat food due to no money during his training days so he also worked as delivery driver ... He experienced depression , ocd , social anxiety and stuff due to these reasons and also due to hard time on bts .. But all these made him the strongest person ever .. We armies are so proud of him to fight all this and come so far.. He seem mostly quiet but he is also fun cool and sweetest comfort person ever. He told about these hardships in his song amygdala .. You can check it out.

It's truly heartbreaking. Ive always been active for BTS, in voting for awards, sharing achievements, so as a fan since 2015 in the social media space actively I dont think I have ever gone a week without seeing some sort of hate against BTS even to this day. The Star magazine lady was fired for her comments about Jimin. The radio host was suspended for awhile until it "died down" enough and then brought back. As for MBC denying Big Hit artists, after 4 years they have apologized for there actions against Big Hit artists. Honestly because Bit Hit refused to allow the artists to interact with MBC and since a ton of Hybe artists are huge right now it was seriously hurting MBC. As for Korean media downplaying BTS's global achievements, that is extremely true. Most Koreans who are not in the Idol music world have no idea how many ground breaking achievements and recognition BTS has brought to there country. When they partnered with Hyundai (a korean company) the car that they showcased caused a 10month backlog because it was in such high demand. Products the boys use, food they eat, goes viral and sells out. Even solo the members are in huge demand from brands, and each member is supporting a brand solo and has brought huge sales to brands.
