'The Rise of Bangtan - Chapter 1: We Are Bulletproof' - how everything began! I hadn't seen any of the footage used in this before and enjoyed seeing all the footage of them pre-debut. I think 'TheRiseofBangtanOfficial' did a tremendous job with this and am looking forward to seeing how Chapter 2 continues. I hope you enjoy my commentary/thoughts on this documentary.

The context here is that big hit didn’t have the influence to promote their artists like the other companies, so bts had to work twice as hard to stand out from other groups (It will be explained in the next chapter). They started the logs, bantang bombs and dance practices videos on youtube to document their journey and to promote themselves. They wouldn’t be the bts they are now if they followed what the other groups were doing at that time. They gained international fans mainly thanks to their choreographies since they were so difficult. About reacting to their discography in order, I think it’s very important because you will literally watch them grow, as artists and as people, since the majority of the lyrics come straight from them. Maybe you could do a listening party for every album? Of course, at your own pace. There is so much content and we understand that it can be overwhelming. So take your time. We will keep watching, no matter what you choose to do. 🥰💜

Big Hit kept V hidden until BTS's debut. BH kept it hidden for fear that other companies would want to take V away for his unique baritone voice and visual, after the debut of bts, BH presented him as the group's secret weapon, but all of that was very difficult for V.+

Hannah I think it's important to know that the creator wanted to first explain the basics of the kpop industry in the first episode...BigHit were *always* kind and treated the boys as humans (as the video explains) and let them create their own music and express their true feelings in their work *(as an artist should do)* 💜. I wanted to say this bc ik some people got upset about the comparison between BTS and the kpop industry but it's important to know their story of how this *"kpop group"* became the greatest musicians we all know and love today💜.

Totally, that's how I understood it as well. The overview over the Kpop industry was important to give in order to late then highlight how BTS differs/outgrew the machinery of Kpop (at least that's what the creator said in her interview and that's how I understood it too, since in the documentary it already clearly says that Big Hit had different values they wanted from their artists)

Its true that some don't write and produce their own songs but alot of them create their own song too. Just like any other music industry. But the training part is what differs kpop to others.

Hey you! There are deleted scenes for every chapter that I think you should watch too. Anyway, those logs were all pre-debut. Jimin had the shortest training time (1 year) compared to other members and he wasn't sure if he's gonna debut. Then the company had a meeting with the members to discuss if they should keep Jimin or not and Taehyung was the one who convinced them to keep Jimin because Jimin and Tae are really close and are best friends (also because they're the same age so they go to school together, etc). Taehyung wasn't revealed until they debut so he was like a secret member/weapon of some sort. I'd say YES to listening to their music and MV on chronological order so you can see how their music and style evolved. If you're going to watch No More Dream MV (their debut song), you should definitely also watch their live performance of the song in 2016 at Epilogue Japan Edition. And let me tell you.........you're not ready for it. Or maybe bring an oxygen tank? LMAO. Jimin and especially HOBI. That's the spoiler 🤭 Cause GIRRRRLLLLL...................Hobi wasn't messing around, he's determined to kill ARMY during that performance 😭😭🤣🤣🤣

Hi, I am a Korean. As I have already seen and experienced Korean pop cultures for a long time, maybe I could say something for you. In the beginning of the documentary, it's introduced Seo Taeji who made a huge sensation and change a lot in Korean pop industry. That time I was a high school student. I loved him so much. haha Since then, the Korean music industry has developed tremendously and many good singers and music have poured out. Some say that my generation who experienced that time enjoyed the most cultural benefits. But from some point on, young singers started coming out like factory-products, some of them were successful, but their career didn't last long. I also got tired of listening the young singers and stopped listening to them any more. But, BTS is different for me. haha...actually I was introduced the BTS from my American friend here in the US. She said they are different and the lyrics are so good. So, I started to listen and watch their music video and now I really enjoy not only their music but also their way to see the life, thinking, art...even their each unique and cute characters. cf. the guy on the documentary said that within 5 years, k-pop idol star will become a worldstar( don't remember exact wording). He was also a popular member of idol singing group named by Super Junior.

And at this point they would definitely have contracts already under bighit since the group has already been formed.

The trainee programme is the same as what Johnny Jimusho does with JPop groups like SMAP, Arashi, Kanjani8 etc. That guy is Si-Won of SuJu !!!! He is one of the main vocalists and visuals of Super Junior 2nd generation KPop group by SM Entertainment I think. In his family Jin was the baby, so he turned from the youngest to the oldest when he joined Big HIt. And we have no pre-debut vlogs of poor V as he was the secret member (Bang PD was afraid in the beginning that other agencies would lure him away and then almost forgot aobut him). When they did vlogs all together he was sitting on the floor by the trash can or under the desk.

22:07 I mentioned this is my comment on your reaction video to Hobi's habits, but Hoseok himself has admitted that he is a lot more calm than people think. As much as he loves his stage name 'J-Hope,' at times he feels pressure to live up to that name and visibly become "Hope." He is a natural performer and entertainer who wants to entertain and make us happy, but at the same time he is much more deep, mature and calm than people give him credit for. In all honesty, he is an incredibly multifaceted and layered person, and that's part of why he fascinates me so much. He's very organised, meticulous, driven and always focused on his work. Even in that particular clip you were watching you can see evidence of that, as despite how advanced his dancing already was at that point, he still wanted to work harder to refine his craft. His passionate work ethic and drive truly inspires me! Also, Hoseok's voice is naturally quite deep. Usually he's talking, his jeolla accent and dialect comes through (which is probably why some people don't realise this), but as you can see there, his voice is naturally deep 😊 As others have mentioned, I would also really recommend watching the behind the scene clips as they're just as good as the episode! 💜

@YouandMe14 3 жыл бұрын

YES to all of the above! I had already noticed that his more calm/serious side was shining through in certain moments like during dance practice or in conversation with the other members (there was one instance where he had a talk with RM on Bon Voyage in Season 2 in Hawai'i in that little Korean restaurant where I really noticed it) and like you, I love this duality. And yes, we are a fan of deep speaking voices! 😅😊

@flowerhobi 3 жыл бұрын

@@YouandMe14 Oh yes! That's one of my favourite moments from Bon Voyage Season 2. It was so lovely to see them spend bonding time together like that 🥰 Namjoon actually considers Hoseok to be the "true" leader of BTS and has even said so in interviews, however that conversation in BV Season 2 also demonstrates just how much Namjoon admires Hoseok and appreciates his presence in the group. You can see Hoseok's leadership very clearly during dance practices, but as Jimin mentioned in this particular Rise of Bangtan episode, Hoseok is like the "mother" of the group. If you take the time to really observe him in series such as Bon Voyage and In The Soop, you'll notice just how 'motherly' he really is. In Bon Voyage, he's always the person researching and organising what they need, giving instructions, suggesting to the group what they should do next, arranging the places they're going to meet up etc. During In The Soop, he was always the one who would wake the other members up, would take the initiative and start getting dinner ready/ask the group what they should have, and would run errands and help the members in any way he could. He really plays such a huge role internally within the group and does so much to unite the members and make sure they all feel comfortable and cared for. To reference Namjoon's exact words during that Bon Voyage conversation, he "picks up on and takes care of the things that he sometimes forgets to do despite being the leader." Honestly, I just love the mutual respect and admiration they have for one another, and how Hoseok feels comfortable going to Namjoon whenever he's having a slump. It helps that they're both the same age and don't have to worry so much about formalities.They have such a close friendship and it's so lovely 🥺

The main reason of BTS success was the creative control and being real in front of everyone and the stories they want to tell. Wich is very important for the longevity of the career. Of course you can have big sets and killing dance moves but people will ultimately remember you for your music. And audience crave for relatable music which is not only catchy but also meaningful. I won't be surprised if in the coming years kpop era will be refer as pre BTS and Post ᗷTS 💜.

In a recent program (it came out like 2 weeks ago) the members were reminiscing on their trainee days and Jimin said he only slept 2.5 hours every day (stopped practicing + went to bed at 4AM and woke up for school at 6AM) By the time Jimin became a trainee, BTS had 6 members and BH was looking for a final member. Jimin struggled because he had to master a completely new dance style and learn how to sing all within a few months (he was the last 1 to join BH and received the shortest trainee period). He said he wasn’t tired during that time, that he had endless energy. I think he was very dedicated and pushed himself beyond what should really be possible to make it into BTS.

(Japanese idols were documented on the 3rd season of produce 101 talking abt how strictly Korea trains their idols) Korea’s trainee process is ruthless and they don’t apologize for it bc they create some of the best musicians/artists/idols in the world. It’s rigorous (and has received its backlash for it) but it’s undoubtedly effective. 1000s of kids join trainee programs (WHICH IS NOT FREE AND YOU HAVE TO PAY THE COMPANY BACK). Still, training is only half of the battle, and many idols have spoken about this, because once you debut now you’re in another fight for your life to get recognized out of the 100s of groups that debut every year. It’s very difficult for idols to make money (especially in the first 3 years) if they do not become ridiculously popular.

The guy who predicted BTS's success is Siwon Choi - A member of Super Junior (debut 2005), it was one of the most popular kpop groups a few years ago (they still have big fanbase, they are very big in South America, if I am not mistake). Anyway, Super Junior was actually my ultimate favourite group until BTS 😌

Yay! So excited that you will be watching this series! Anessa, the creator / editor of this documentary is amazing! It’s a labor of love from her. Another KZfaq channel, Reed Reacts just did an interview with her that you should watch on your own. It gives you insight to why she is creating this series. She hopes to complete this whole journey by the end of this year! I love how she finds these rarely seen videos of the boys sharing their thoughts. It's more authentic to hear it directly from BTS verse other fan made videos which the creators make their own commentaries/assumptions.

These vlogs start in January 2013, and RM talks about pressure in a blog from March 3013 - they debut in June 2013, V is still a “secret” so there is no vlog from him and Jimin does not mention him when he talks about the members, so the pressure to get their debut music, and performances as “perfect” as possible must have been incredible

Jimin recently said that if you were called to the office after the monthly evals, that meant you were cut--and he was called to the office every month but they would tell him he barely made it and here's exactly what he had to practice to get better. (He had the least trainee time so he had a lot of catching up to do. But they could see he was special. And he has the drive. He took the criticism and used it as motivation to work harder.) FYI--middle school is 3 years and high school is 3 years so JK's middle school graduation was when he was the equivalent of a high school freshman in the US. That noona (auntie) who runs the restaurant they used to eat at all the time is still there and tweeting congrats to the guys 💜 The person who compared the Kpop industry to sports* hit it right on the nose. Many will try, for years, and only a few will succeed. *he specifically mentioned English football (US soccer), but think US basketball, football, etc. Sooo similar. The person who is the primary creator of this series, Aneesa, is a professional film editor. She has been working on this for 3 years but with COVID and a lack of work, she finally had the time to devote to it. She also was in the top 3 of a film editing competition when she was in college. Yes, she's really good. And been a Kpop fan since 2008.

@YouandMe14 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I saw her interview! It's absolutely incredible how much work and effort she put into making this documentary and it really already shows (even though I've only seen the first Chapter yet). Also, I think the trainee program can also maybe be compared not only to sports but also there are similarities to musical school in Europe or the US - you go there and train hard in various disciplines from morning till nightfall and after you graduate very few actually go on to work in the business ("make it"). Obviously, the trainee program is more intense then musical school for SURE, but it has similarities I guess.

I think the reason that he was hidden was more of a surprise marketing strategy to drum up more buzz after debut. I refuse to think that they had so little trust in tae that they think he could still be swayed to abandon the group. And at this point they would definitely have contracts already under bighit since the group has already been formed.

Hi, I am back. Nice reaction. So glad u liked this. The 1st log to me looked like a YT live. Not sure if it was vlive. Hmm. Not sure why you were confused. The video was pretty clear to me. They started the logs as trainees. And they have not debuted yet. As u keep watching we see them finally debut. I think starting from the beginning is a good idea. Another reactor Caitlin that I watch, she so funny, is doing the same. You can see their growth its fascinating. Aww, that is nice. Some of this was new to me so I really liked that and some I already knew but I have been Army for a year. Looking forward to see more of your reactions. stay safe.-baby ARMY NY USA 💜

Btw, Seo Taiji recognizes BTS as his successors and symbolically passed on the banner of the leaders of industry:) BTS and Seo Taiji have performed together as well. As for kpop industry, bts alone account for ~ 50% of all sales and streams, so I'd say they've long outgrown that platform 😄 personally, I tried to find some kpop artists that would resonate with me, but couldn't, bts set the bar too high with their artistry and their sincerity. However, through BTS i discovered a lot of great Korean music artists from hiphop, folk and indie genres. The auntie who feeds tiny bangtan in the beginning still celebrates all their birthdays and some of the Bighit staff still visit her for lunch, the food is great, according to many armys:) The choreographer Son Sungdeuk is still at bighit, been there from the start!

I know it's been a week but I want to comment that, yes, they really changed a lot. they did talk abt it once in one of their anniversary video. Jin used to be much calmer, not so much of a jockster but started to be more aprochable and Jhope said that he wanted to give a lot of positive energy to the group so he "changed himself". It may sounds like it his fake personality but it's not, he said he could change bc that's really how he is and how he wants to be around people: someone who gives good vibes (basically). Also Taehyung also changer but reverse (sorry my english is not that good). he used to joke a lot and fool around with jimin and jungkook but over the time he became more calm, more reserved and since he didn't joke as much as he did with jk so it kinda became "awkward" (its said in their series BTS inthe soop btw). Jimin also said that he matured a lot and give a different vibe than he used to (which is not something negative). He said that in the explanation of their friends video. I think they all changed and it's really nice to see this journey.. watching them grow. I'm just happy you found them and I hope more people will find them..

One thing that sets BTS apart from pretty much the entire K-Pop industry is Hitman Bang's blessing and permission to exercise artistic freedom. Their lyrics speak of some major taboo topics, such as mental health, dealing with depression and anxiety and, as you know, challenging societal norms (e.g., Baepsae). In one song, Suga implied he was pansexual. In Korea, that's a big no no! Oh, wait until you watch Spring Day and the accompanying theory explanation video; they were really playing with fire on that one, but all ARMYs are glad they did! Long Live Queen Spring Day!! V was kept as a secret member until right before the debut, even though Jimin was the last to join the group.
