Should I bring the emotional support soundbard back for Pt. 2?

"Suga got me ITCHIN!" -varnell

Sleep said "the first song is called "Ddaeng" and all of ARMY went "YESSSSS!!!!!"

8:40 “that’s your bias” PROCEEDS TO KICK HIS FEET LMAOOO VARNELL BABYGIRL I LOVE HIM

He reached "RM can do no wrong" pretty quickly tbh. That's your point of no return 😂💜💜💜

ppi-ppi is a korean sound word for beep beep, aka Jhope is saying girls are calling him so his phone keeps beeping. Some of the lyrics are hard to understand with the one-to-one translation cuz they need an explanation haha

Varnell looks like his ARMY conversion is a literal physical change. The way he's squirming, you'd think he's about to turn into a werewolf 🤣🤣

11:07:11 "they sold it out?" man, not only sold out on pre-sale, but needed to rent another venue to live stream the concert

33:24 *Suga telling haters to be healthy after absolutely ending them with his verse will forever be ICONIC* 😭🙏🏽🔥

BTS said the main reason they considered disbanding was because they became too big and the pressure was too much. They never expected or anticipated to blow up like they did, Agust D even said that after their first AMA performance he cried in the shower, not because he was happy but because he never wanted to become this big and famous. They all came from small towns across Korea and started making music in this tiny label, living together sharing one bedroom and suddenly they're the biggest act to ever come out of S.K and one of the biggest artists in the world. People expect them to represent all of S.K, the president is congratulating them and makes them his presidential envoys and gives them diplomatic passports, they speak at the UN three times, people want them to be and act like diplomats, they're winning huge awards all around the world and everywhere they go there are mobs waiting for them, they're doing things no one has ever done before and it was too scary for them. They just wanted to give it all up.

He's not a fan, but almost cries when he found out about them almost breaking up.

"If they would have broke up what would I have done?" That sentiment is felt by every ARMY Varnell. You definitely belong here!

Varnell kicking his feet and giggling in 4K when his bias came on… we got him 8:42

Oh boy…here comes ARMY

My man said RM can do no wrong! Oh he found his man! We got a Namjoon biased ARMY over here!

Just to add few things:- RM used to be RAP MONSTER But later he changed it to REAL ME. WHEN BANGTAN WAS YOUNG THEY WERE VERY PASSIONATE (IN AN ANGRY WAY). THEY THIRSTED FOR RECOGNITION AND WORKED WAY TOO HARD TO ACHIEVE THAT. Eventually they achieved what they wanted and way too many more things. So the anger mellowed down. But the passion hardwork still remained the same RAP MONSTER basically grew up to be wiser and gentler and became REAL ME

20:43 the amazing thing for me about rm that he does better than anyone is he does that in two languages. He’ll use whatever works whether in English or Korean. It’s like he has double the vocabulary if everyone else to rhyme with because he’s so linguisticly fluid.

"What can I say when its RM you know.. he could do no wrong." Lmaoo spoken like a true army. 😂

About Varnell's question: I flew from Germany to Chicago for SUGA's concert - for just one night because I needed to be back at work on Monday...

-Yun - RM with Erykah Badu -Still life - RM feat Anderson Paak (I recommend listening with the lyrics, in an interview he talks about the meaning) -NEURON - Jhope feat Gaeko and Yoon Mirae -Agust D - Agust D -HUH?! - Agust D feat Jhope Hip Hop Phile and Silver Spoon/Baepsae (It could be a good introduction to the whole group)

Being in a BTS concert is like a dream, ... and a Agust D concert is like fire itself

Varnell is the first reactor I have EVER seen that understood the difference between the two tears. Like I’m so fucking impressed right now. But someone who immediately feels rm the most is gonna be intelligent and someone who really understands music and lyricism.

I love how Varnell got "Tear" lyrics at first listen! Indeed RM was talking about tears, Suga about tearing apart and J-Hope about the fear of parting! This song always hits hard ngl especially when someone saw their 2018 MAMA artist of the year acceptance speech where they talked about the disbanding? Oh man.. Also one of the native Korean speakers broke down the lyrics and her attention was caught by Suga's part "There is no such thing as a beautiful farewell, So please start now Woo take it easy, cut out the heart slowly Yes yes, Over the cut pieces, step on them Regrets, regrets, so that I would not have any such remaining Tear into pieces and burn my heart to a crisp" She said and I quote "The terms he used for “step on” is an old Korean word and is not used in normal speech in modern-day. Most Koreans are very familiar with it though, as it appears in the very well-known poem, “Azaleas” by Kim Sowol. The Korean Azaleas grow wild, often as the first flowers to bloom in spring. They’re edible too, so kids pick them and eat them. They’re also baby pink, not the darker reddish pink that Westerners are often familiar with. To “step on” the azaleas in this poem gives the impression of stepping on all the purity, innocence and happiness… an act of cruelty and indifference. The poem gives feeling of careless cruelty where the person who left doesn’t even care enough to have hate. Also fun fact, BTS were 1st Asian and non English act to sold out Wembley stadium, to this day only 12 artists sold out Wembley and they planned only 1 night, but the tickets sold out in 90 mins, so they added the 2nd night and they both sold out at the capacity of 60k people! It was back in 2019 😅 People flew all the way to Korea from around the world for this year's festa and for the hug event with Jin (yup our baby army Varnell, people fly to Korea to get the chance to hug them, not to mention the concerts 🤣)

"Look Here" is a favorite one for me - I know it's got vocal line, too, but when I think of that song I always think of RM's bars - he kills it.

For their LA shows, SoFi reported that people came from approx 80 different countries for the concert

I know Varnell spends his downtime at home in his Koya headband, waving his bootleg ARMY bomb off Amazon, while looping the cyphers. You can’t convince me otherwise.

We're baaaaaaaaaaaaack!💜

For Ddaeng you really need to check out the video Ddaeng explained by a Korean because the wordplay around the word ddaeng in there is very heavily based on Korean cultural references that you'll definitely needs some context for to fully understand. RM alone uses it in at least 7 different meanings in his verse. Btw I love how you're slowly adding more and more members, it's like that analogy of cooking a frog lmao. Varnell doesn't even want to accept how far along he is alreay 😂 Also pro tip: Don't fully trust the lyrics on lyrics videos, they're usually done by auto translators that miss some things or are even incorrect at some points and even color code the members wrong at times (first verse for example wasn't Suga but j-hope). The lyrics videos done by DIAL 6137, which you used for Cypher 4 & Ugh are based on the translations by doolset bangtan so those ones are the most accurate.

I think what was heartbreaking about Outro: Tear was that the members didnt reveal about their hardships until Jin initiated and talked about it when they received an award during the 2018/2019 end of year awards show. We knew they had the right to never even mention something so personal to them but they decided to do so when they've moved on and were in a better place physically and mentally. But then it fit like pieces of a puzzle cause tear was released may 2018 and there were contents where we do see the sadness in their faces which made sense. Im glad they were able to release these songs as part of their reflection on their life. Also to Varnell, im sure you've heard this but "Denial is a river in Egypt" 😂 Btw i'm from Singapore and flew to London for their Wembley concert

22:50 Dear Varnell, this Cypher pt 3 is soooo special, even more now. They sang it at their last concert (available in amazon prime video, Yet to Come in Busan). Let me give some context. Mililtary enlistment for men is mandatory in SK. For high achievers, they can wait until they are 30 (just BTS fulfill the criteria, the rest have to enlist up till they are 28). All these successful years, everyone was hanging that on their heads. Officials, politicians too, because in some cases (athletes and others) you can be granted an exemption. And being all BTS brings to the country in revenue, it would have been well deserved. So end of 2022, Jin (you'll see him soon) was almost turning 30... This one concert was held in a city (Busan) that had a pitch for World Expo in 2035, they asked BTS to bring the cause home. They did this massive concert, FREE, they made a big screen available near the venue for the ones that didn't win the raffle and were visiting. The city welcomed thousands of tourists... All costs were on BTS company, not the government even... They sang Cypher pt 3, in front of the officials that held the exemption carrot in front of them "you can control my shit!!"... the next day, they (BTS) announced they would be enlisting one by one shortly after. Nobody knew. Even the politicians complained loudly in interviews xD This song was a big F U to all of them present. Another thing to note. The oldest was born in 92, the youngest in 97... so the oldest had to enlist in 2022, but the youngest had time until 2027, BUT they love each other and their joint project so much, they all enlisted already, so they can be out (it's 18 months) as soon as possible, all together again. = June 2025 Sorry, long comment, do read, though xD

Varnell gonna be owning an army bomb and namjoon photocards and would still be denying he army. Lmao.

"They got the culture in them bro" YES Varnall sir!!!

For the rap line second part, I suggest from Map of the Soul: 7 album, the rap line trilogy: 1. RM’s Intro: Persona 2. SUGA’s Interlude: Shadow 3. j-hope’s Outro: Ego

One man and his cat found hope on the street! The story of rapline!

“Is there some kind of ARMY language?” Oh, sweet summer child. You have no IDEA!! 🤪

"If they would've broke up what I would've done."😢 Varnall

That smile when he says, "RM at this point can do no wrong" 😂 I SEE YOU, VARNELL!

More rapline songs Joke -Rm 1verse -jhope Intro persona-Rm suga's first and third album(d2 and dday) Jhopes first mixtape and second album (hopd world and hope on the street) Rm's mixtape and first album(mono and indigo) Trivia love -Rm Trivia dance -jhope Trivia seesaw -suga Interlude shadow-yoongi Respect -suga and rm Her -all three of them First love -suga What am i to you-rm

Varnell: I won't lie to you (proceeds to lie to himself about being sucked into the rabbit hole) 😂

"RM can do no wrong" - Varnell 🙌Knew you were RM biased and I'm here for it!!😆👏😍

Who's gonna tell them that BTS sold out Wembley Stadium (90k seats) in 90 minutes?? 😏 Getting tickets to a BTS concert, ESPECIALLY when they come back in 2025, is like the Hunger Games. Also, just for some extra knowledge Varnell, when you go to a BTS concert be prepared to see people of ALL genders, colors, religions, and ages. They've got everyone from grannies to children attending. I took my (at the time) 7 year old son to a BTS concert in Chicago on Mothers Day and it was the best day he and I ever shared together. He was living his best life, and all the Army around us were so kind and helpful in making sure he could see the stage and dancing with him. Army is a community, not just a fanbase. True Army's are loving and kind and respectful of each other and everyone else; that is what BTS try to spread to the world and what Army enforces. Welcome Varnell...you can't deny it anymore 😉

With all the dad jokes Varnell cracks, Jin would love him. He would call him the "joker guy."

The potential disbandment in 2018... they were all just completely exhausted... all they wanted was a day off, but dance practices/rehearsals/recording/shows/touring... there literally was no space to rest. People who hadn't followed them from debut wouldn't have understood that the members had been doing this since 2011 with very little sleep and no breaks. Thankfully they learnt to make some changes with their new contracts and put themselves first. Yoongi has a show called Suchwita, all of the members have appeared on episodes of it... along with other Korean artists... on Taehyungs episode, he and Yoongi speak in depth about 2018 and what made him and JK change their minds and keep going. You guys would love the show, it shows the personalities of each member and how different they are in musical tastes...

One thing worth mentioning is that J-Hope learned how to rap only after he became a trainee at their label (before BTS was complete) with help from RM and Suga but still was able ro find his style. Wich is really shown by his evolution along cyphers 1 to 4 and obviously his following solo albums

Please make Varnell go through attempting to get tickets from Ticketmaster and record it for us. Thanks.

ddaeng is a song that you really need to read about the lyrics to understand just how genius it is. not just the lyrics, but the meaning of them.

Suga - the last jhope - more rm - joke, all of INDIGO (wild flower! and still life) all: ma city, hip hop lover, born singer, baepsae

Varnell, SUGA is an NBA ambassador! You've got to watch his segment on Fallon where they briefly discuss it. Sleep, I love both Cypher 3 and Cypher 4. I like the way they performed Cypher 3 at the concert in Busan. There was a big controversy in South Korea about if BTS should qualify for military exemption, which was usually for award-winning athletes & classical musicians. They performed Cypher 3 with the lyrics, "...I don't care. You can't control my shit.", (directed to the government!) and a few days later Big Hit announced BTS would enlist in the military. The guys themselves made the decision to end the country's discussion and enlist. I really enjoy your friendship and Varnell's reactions! You are too cute, Varnell! And I really like the educational parts of the videos!

“Suga got me ITCHING” got me 💀💀

19:19 yoongi going about how he has more pens for writing than other guys have fans was wild

38:52 BTS Rapline ARE shown to the US public. Suga was on Jimmy Fallon, and went on a huge US tour. jhope played Lollapalooza. RM did a whole shoot & interview for Rolling Stone with Pharrell. But the problem is, they’re never going to get the same respect because the xenophobia is still too prevalent. And also the prejudice of them being in KPop. It’s literally one of the biggest frustrations of being ARMY; knowing how good they are, but seeing lesser artists win the awards.

LOVE that Varnell got the "don't need Hugo, already Boss" line right away. One of my all time fav lines.

My fave Cypher is Pt 3 Killer... and btw, that live performance of the Cypher medley you watched, the DJ wasn't just an ordinary DJ, that was Supreme Boi, and he's produced a number of their songs, as well as being on Cypher Pt. 3... he tends to be behind the scenes, but in that performance, he joined them onstage. As far as BTS concerts go, I only ever watched them once in Singapore, when they sold out our National Stadium in just 4 hours! I actually couldn't get a ticket to go see them, but later on, I asked around online and one ARMY said her Mum was supposed to go with her, but got sick and now she's looking to sell her ticket at the same price she bought it at, and she offered it to me. I remember this very well, 'cos I just got discharged from the hospital after having day surgery and being kept overnight for observation, and the very next day, I went to this BTS concert. It was good that it was a seated ticket, 'cos I might not have survived a standing ticket, seeing as how BTS concerts easily last 2-3 hours long. It was an experience I'll never forget. The concert date was 19 Jan 2019, just before the covid pandemic hit Singapore about a year later. After that, all I watched were their online concerts, 'cos covid didn't allow for live concerts, and when they could perform live in the USA and in Korea later on, it was too far for me to travel, since I live in Singapore. After that, they were due for military service, so they started doing more solo work, and we probably won't get another BTS concert till they return in 2025. But I'm sure when the next concert tour happens, it will all get sold out in minutes... I'm not that fast with my fingers, so with my luck and abilities, I will probably not get a ticket in time again. Still, at least I've seen them once, and I'll be alright with that too.

That number one podcast… I’m not saying his name here, but he came for BTS several times, and even slated J Cole for his collab with jhope. Keep recording the pod, and we’ll make YOURS number one instead. You deserve that crown 👑

With how often he called them *Dope* I think that should be one of his first OT7 songs Also the *"Welcome, is this your first time with Bangtan?"* part would fit so well!

Hearing their songs and see the traductions is a first thing : you understand they are good, they are passionate and really talented. They are definitly good artists BUT when you start whatching them in concerts and in mv... here start the army conversion AND when you start knowing their stories, watching their documentaries, the interviews, the bangtan bombs and the reality shows... here start the obsession BTS are multi talented, they are really good musicians of course but they are global pop stars with an strong ARMY fanbase because they are so much more. Their MV are always perfects, addictive and you can't take your eyes off the screen. It's the same for the concerts video (I saw you Varnell not blink during the medley). They also are really smart and good guys, they are real with people and fans, they are not afraid to show their weaknesses, to speak about their sad moments and happy moments. In 2018 they spoke about disband because of the pressure they had of becoming too big... But they are means to be big because nobody do what they are doing. They always try to be better person, working hard to understand the world and speaking about things everyone in the world can related. They also are so humble. In an interview RM said there is 100% of success, they give 50% to the armies, 15% to the company and 5% each of them and the fact that they consider themselve just 5% is so relatable and everythings they do because they don't take their success for granted. It's been years since USA is controlling the global music industry and it's not bad music but there is also so many good talents everywhere in the world and they are not global because of language barrier but BTS is making history I tell you. They are proving that if we want to we can break down the borders. "Music is an universal language" is so true. BTS is trusting the army and armies are trusting them.

RM uses to mean Rap Monster but now stands for Real Me

I think that Varnell needs to know that the correct term for him now is Baby Army. And to answer your question about the way their concerts work, like Sleep said, they have a huge catalogue and they dance so hard on stage. So to stagger breaks throughout the show, they do songs individually, or rap line then vocal line, or sometimes in duos. Sometimes all seven of them will perform someone's solo song to change things up. That's why there are no opening acts at a BTS show. It's just them performing in various configurations for 2+ hours.

“When y’all go to a BTS concert…” *laughs in poverty and desperation* Getting those tickets is traaaaaumaaaa

The newer lightsticks look even cooler now that they change colors. At the concerts, you assign yours to your seat number in the app and they are able to create really cool rainbow effects, write out words, create moving symbols, etc. using the whole crowd. The audience basically becomes one big LED screen.

The way RM eats is insane

The main motive for the disbandment thoughts was the exhaustion and the immense pressure put on them. They were a small group and suddenly they rise up and were receiving honor medals and being the proud of South Korea. Yoongi (SUGA) even told us that he cried in the shower after the first time they performed at the Billboard Awards because he felt so much pressure. And on top of that, they wouldn't have breaks, they were too busy and exhausted, so it started to affect their mental health. And as they like to tell, when one member is going through something bad, all of them follow because they suffer to see each other suffer. In their book, they tell how they just fell into a slump all together, but they got better by working on music and taking care of each other and their mental health.

Varnell gonna be denying he's ARMY until he hears the entire catalogue at this point lmao 😂 He and Jino would get along

Just gonna put a request for Outro: Her, because I think it's one of the rap line songs that don't get promoted as much. Looking forward to future videos and enjoying the podcast so far. Thanks 👍💜

I have been to six concerts. There is NOTHING like it.

Suga's AgustD DDay concert yeilded the highest revenue for any rapper in the US in 2023.

I-ARMY here!! BANGTAN Forever!!! We live in NY so my 2 teenage daughters and I went to LA - SoFi Stadium Nov 2021 to see BTS!! With our ARMY BOMBS! It was incredible. I-ARMY are so generous giving photocards and freebies. Seeing our boys - being in the same airspace was amazing. Meaghan Thee Stallion performed on our night , BORAHAE y'all

Sleep and Varnell, thank you for the great video again! If you ask me how many miles I have travelled to see BTS live (concerts or other performances), I would probably need an excel table for it. Since 2016, I've been to 48 shows to watch BTS (42 being concerts and the rest are like iHeart, AMA, KCON, etc). When I was living in the US (NC), I flew to Seoul, Osaka, Macau, LA, Anaheim, Newark to see them, and when I moved back to Hong Kong, I flew to the US (multiple cities), Tokyo, Yokohama, Taiwan, Wembley, Seoul, Busan to see them. If I can get tickets for any show, I will go. I've taken a one-month no pay leave from work to follow their tour. The one thing that you will see when anyone attends a BTS concert, is to realize how genuinely global their fanbase is. A BTS concert is the "only one place" on earth that there is no segregation of any kind, race, age, gender, sexuality, disability..... When I was waiting in line in NY UBS Arena for Suga D-Day concert, two venue staff was casually chatting next to me, one big black male supervising staff was telling the Latino female staff something like this "I don't know who this guy is, but all day I've seen these people smiling being so happy lining up for stuff, they may all have their own problems or issues or stories at home, but for today they are so happy!", and the lady responded she saw fans from all different parts of world and they were exchanging nationalities of fans they heard... I couldn't control myself and butt in and told them I just flew 17 hour straight from Hong Kong and got there last night for this, and I will fly back out right after the concert. To anyone who still thinks BTS is a phrase, or there will be a "next" BTS, that's not even wishful thinking, just plain delusion. Those of us who can frequently go, and you will see us on every pits, are adults with resources to do so, not the teenagers fangirling in the phrase of growing up, and will ditch them when adulthood or relationship(s) begin. You can count us as those old white folks that follow KISS or Springsteen tour, just that we're younger and have many more years to go. As long as BTS will tour, we will be there! (*side note: I'm one of the very few minority that am not too fond of the emotional soundboard... I think it may interrupts the flow of the conversation or stop Varnell's line of thoughts, but I can see the appeal in entertaining the audience. just my $0.2 you can ignore! PEACE!!! )

RM- Joke, Change, Wildflower J-Hope- 1VERSE, Ego, Hangsang Suga- The last, Agust D, Nevermind

The lyric mafia LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO

In terms of suggestions, y'all hit most of the rapline only songs. Outside of those there's only these left: 1. Intro: Skool Luv Affair 2. Outro: Her It could be interesting to hear solo songs they did in the BTS albums. The albums usually have an intro that's done by one of the rapline members. These could be interesting as a way to see how they set the mood for an album. 1. Intro: the Most Beautiful Moment of Life (Suga) 2: Intro: Boy Meets Evil (JHope) 3. Intro: Persona (RM) Another option of showcasing their solo work in BTS albums would be listening to their solo songs in Love Yourself: Answer the final album of their Love Yourself trilogy. 1. Trivia: Just Dance (JHope) 2. Trivia: Love (RM) 3. Trivia: Seesaw (Suga) I think ending this rapline introduction with a song that showcasea all the members could be a cool way to get Varnell ready for vocal line. I've seen some great suggestions on that front so I'll echo some of those as well 1. HipHop Phile 2. Baepsae/Silver Spoon 3. Born Singer 4. Mic Drop

FIRST LOVE by Suga is a must - it sometimes an overlooked song but the emotions in that song is what first got me pulled into the rap line - even after hundreds of listens it still moves me In Vegas there were several people I met came from Japan.

DDAENG TO START? bros not going easy on varnell

I have been waiting so long for this. The cyphers man. RAP LINE SUPREMACY 3 headed monster is the perfect name.

Longest I flew for a BTS concert was from New Zealand to Las Vegas! Varnell, ma man, I wish I could express how much it isn’t only BTS’s immaculate performances and their sincere & heartfelt engagement with the crowd, it’s also the immense energy that comes from everyone there loving them SO much. I have never in my life felt an outpouring of energy from a crowd like that before?! I’m not kidding when I say it felt like I could feel the energy in the air entering my lungs when I inhaled and my skin was BUZZING afterwards. I can’t wait for you to experience it 🥹 In THE MEANTIME I’m so excited for your trip into the BTS rabbit hole further 🥰 Thankyou for being such an excellent guide and mentor on the Journey Sleep! You DEFFFFF have to do the Persona/Shadow/Ego trilogy (All 3 have great music videos with accurate English lyric captions)!! Since you will be well aware of it Sleep, it’d be really cool if you explained to Varnell beforehand how it’s based on Jungian Psychology and that’s why the albums are called Map of The Soul 💜💜💜

It's 2:40am and i'm fully entertained watching this. I'ma say i was insanly looping Dynamite as a local who had a relief in COVID days but what finally made me an army was discovering BTS does hip hop too. That they HAD rappers. That there were not only 1, nor 2 but 3 RAPPERS, And that those were actually so good rappers. Like Alice, i fell down deep the rabbit hole to Boraland. And here I am, a Hobi biased with my bt21 merch 🤣 being totally in love with BTS, finding joy at ny 34yso. Hope you enjoy your experience discovering them. We need more army boys(?)

18:34 this cypher was after the podcast incident where suga and rm were pretty much attacked from “straying” from the underground rap scene to become idols. why i think jhopes beat is different, it’s to differentiate their roles in this song. like jhope is the mc and he’s introducing rm and suga (the targeted underground rappers) to rap and clap back at them. i hope this makes sense lol

I’ve traveled from Sweden to US (LA, LV and NY) 3 separate times to see BTS and Yoongi solo in concert. No regrets. I’d travel the world to see them live for a lifetime.

I’ve been to two of their concerts-PTD LA and LV. Surreal experience and I was hyped for days!

for part2 you could check out: Rapline: Outro:HER , Paldogangsan (Satoori Rap), RM: Change (RM ft.Wale), Always, Do you, Joke Suga: First love, The last, Intro:never mind JHope:outro EGO, Just Dance, 1Verse

48:16 no beef none not at all. They absolutely love each other. They are very few brotherhoods like BTS have, but there was a lot of pressure that’s not gotten any better they’ve just figured out how to handle it better. They blew up hard. They went from being a small group from Korea, mostly unknown from an almost bankrupt company to global superstars, and while they had been building to that, it wasn’t overnight like people seem to think in the US it was also massive and sudden in the same breath so the pressure got to them for a little bit and they debated whether or not it was worth it to continue or did they need to stop. As you can tell from them still being them and all their solo work that came afterwards they are still together still making music still kicking ass and have figured out how to balance

Rapline songs for part 2: Intro : Skool luv affair Outro : Her

i've been to 4 concerts -- Varnell, we'll cross the earth to see bangtan. sometimes army will fly just to be OUTSIDE the venue while a concert is going on ,because the experience is electric and it's an all-day thing - when you go you'll learn about army culture and how we exchange freebies, etc. the permission to Dance concert in LA is recorded and available to watch! I was there Day 1 and 2. I was also in Vegas, Day 1. i hope you get to watch the D-day concert because it was brilliant - went to NY for Days 1 and 2. thank you for the long reaction and i look forward to part 2. don't feel too pressured by the lyric push - i personally love the lyrics and know it's important but i know it may be frustrating as a producer not to be able to focus on the soundscape because the words go so quickly. i like to get lost in the sound myself. do what works for you. appreciate you both!

The giggle during ugh tells me everything I need to know. Bro is full on ARMY.

I’m looking forward to the series finale and varnell wearing a Koya headband at a concert

Varnell and Jin need to have a dad joke contest.

You're the highlight of my week! Never a dull moment with you two! I loved when Varnell was kicking his feet giggling when he recognized RM his bias on Ddaeng! Looking forward to part 2! Soundboard was hilarious by the way lol

gosh this is my favorite journey of discovery ever recorded in KZfaq. You two are amazing!

varnell, honey, Suga doesn’t stop to take a breather, he purposely stops to prove to the haters that he is not lip syncing. And after ten years of proving to the haters that they are liars, he STILL throws in the proof. This series is so funny… Varnell is trying hard, but fooling no one- he IS head first down the rabbit hole! But ARMY is here to catch you, and break your fall. My vote for a Suga song is Snooze! RM- Joke, Jhope- the 3 song medley from Lollapolooza- Baseline/cypher1/Hangsang. He HAS to see that!💜💜💜💜💜🫰🏻🫰🏻🫰🏻🫶🏻

Love this! I think one of the best things about rapline is they rap like a team, not just three rappers doing their bit. Like Cypher 4 is so satisfying because RM and jhope start off with measured, paced rap flows that build tension and then suga just comes in crazy to release it and it's SO good. They built that Cypher together so beautifully. Cypher 4 enthusiasts assemble!

💜So glad you saw this lyric! "I like hate comments more than no comments cuz even tho I dont know you, YOU KNOW MA NAME!" 😮😮😮 Love this man so much! No one talks as pretty and as petty as RM. His cuts are so sharp and so deep! 😍💜

I met a nice group of senior ladies that came to Sofi from Japan. They spoke very little English but were absolutely delightful. I also have friends that travel from the US, Canada, South America and Australia to SK for their shows. Distance isn’t a limiter for ARMY when it comes to seeing the guys perform. Side note: The age range of fans at the concerts will blow your mind. You will also meet people from every culture in the world at a BTS show. And in that, it’s a special fandom of people who line up patiently, have manners, and amaze the locals. Vegas staff were shocked with the number of people who came and zero problems were had. BTS fosters that in their fandom. I can’t wait for you to see it! Next up: It you want to stay with the rap line, Hip Hop Phile. I think Varnell will appreciate the homage paid to those rap and hip hop artists who paved the way for the artists after them. And maybe touch on Epik High? This could be a great way to bring in the vocal line before you introduce them individually.

I laughed so hard when Varnell said "Lets just say they're angry" while listening to Ugh😭😭

You need to tell him that getting tickets is the hunger games 😂

Not purely rap line songs but songs where their verses really pop off and that I think you'll enjoy as producers: 1. we on 2. if I ruled the world 3. paldogangsan 4. hip hop phile 5. look here 6. silver spoon 7. mic drop 8. outro: her 9. Idol 10. Intro: Persona 11. Dionysus 12. All Night ft Juice WRLD 13. Dis-ease You should also check out the rapline's previous mixtapes/albums: RM, AGUST D, Hope World, Mono, Indigo, D-Day and Hope on the Street

Love Varnell's vehement denial that he'll be ARMY. The stronger they resist, the harder they fall usually😉 Rapline/ rapline-centric song recommendations: -Hip hop phile -Come back home -Born Singer (esp the live performance fr 2015. U can FEEL their passion)

I love the line *"You're my fear"* cause it can mean so many things like: I'm scared of you, I'm scared for you, you're so important to me that suddenly I have something to lose, you make me fear myself cause I can see my own issues in you etc.

He is reading lyrics and already has a bias he is speedrunning the ARMY conversion.

1:07:40 I became ARMY in December of 2021, so unfortunately I haven't had the chance to see a BTS concert live yet, but last year I traveled from Finland to NY for Yoongi's concert, attended two nights, and to this day I haven't counted how much money I spent on the whole week long trip 😂 but zero regrets! I got to see Yoongi, and Jimin too since he was in the audience, and had the best birthday ever 💜 I still remember so vividly Yoongi smiling at us, the way we chanted the cypher 4 chorus "I love myself", and how I could feel the flames all the way in the sitting section 🔥 and Yoongi's guitar string braking of course, his reaction was hilarious 🤧

Was lucky enough to be in LA for PTD day 3, from Florida. My daughter flew in from Korea. Then I flew from Florida to Vegas. So fun to watch these videos! Love watching him on his ARMY journey beginning. I CANNOT wait to see more.
