To answer your question Tae was in Mexico shooting the cooking variety show Jinny’s kitchen. Once Jin told him about the enlistment he adjusted his schedule and wrapped up the filming earlier and left ahead of the rest of the cast and travelled 24+ hours straight ( you heard in this ep how much effort it takes to fly to South America) to be there the next day for Jin’s enlistment. That’s how loyal he and the members are to each other. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Loui really is one of us now 😂 and I’m loving it!! The way he so effortlessly recognised it was J-Hope and then being surprised that he recognised him with just a look at the back of his head 😂😂 it’s all of us when we can recognise all the members by just their hands/hair/eyes/lips/nose etc 🤣🤣

For context, jin HATES winter and cold in general so everyone was sad that he had to leave for the military in December cuz it's the lowest temperatures in sk at that time. It was so cute that they decided to release his episode during a warmer season despite having shot so early on 🥲

The gap between Jin and Yoongi's age (3 months) is relatively shorter than than that of Hobi and Namjoon (7 months) 😂 and also Loui, when you start recognizing the boys without looking at their faces it's a sign: you're a shareholder of the Magic Shop (like us) 😆😆😆💜💜💜

Bro really is a purple heart now. He recogrnized Hobi's blurry back 🤧😭😂

My heart smiled when you immediately knew it was Hobi: "In this shit for life" for real! Jin's appearance on Lee Younji's drinking show "Nothing Much Prepared" is very sweet and funny. It was one of the first solo appearances he made, and as an introvert he found it quite taxing until they had had a few. Yoongi is very practical, very into design and last year during festa (?? I think so) we got to see him making all the members (kitchen) chopping boards in a woodworking session. Jimin made a bracelet, Namjoon went to Switzerland (probably the only man alive who could enthuse me about a chair museum), Tae drove us around with a banging playlist, Hobi took us behind the scenes of the "Arson" shoot, Jin cooked and Jk went camping. All show the members' personalities really endearingly and all worth watching. I think weverse lives take the place of BTS podcasts for now.

"I saw someone being freaking annoying out of the corner of my eye and thought it had to be Jungkook or J-Hope" lmaoooo Also hilarious that Jin was like "I'd choose Suga to be my roommate over Jungkook, cause Suga won't interfere or get in my way." Implying that being roomies with JK is hella annoying lol. And then Suga saying that even when he's 60 years old, JK will still be freaking annoying 😆 They really be dunking on the maknae in this one, but like in a fond loving way lmao

being an army: recognizing bts by their feet😭💀

My favourite parts of this episode: Yoongi: I saw something out of the corner of my eye, and I was instantly annoyed, so I knew it had to be one of my members Hoseok: you’ve gotten good at lying Jin: excuse you, I’ve always been good at lying Yoongi: I can remember what we talked about, but I know it was important Jin: so you took my advice then

Jin’s friendship with mr baek is hilarious and adorable! I’m so excited for his brewery and alcohol plans post-enlistment, I’d definitely buy some if it was available (Hoseok’s episode literally comes out tomorrow, very hyped 🎊)

i love how he could recognize hobi from the back of his head.... he's one of us now....

RM and Suga helped Jhope and taught him rap. And then the three rappers had this genius idea to make like a "School of Hiphop" for the whole group where every day they would gather and listen to multiple artists. Sometimes they would do this for like 6hrs. RM created a playlist of about fifty artists including Drake, Nas, The notorious B.I.G, Tupac, etc. To get the rest of the members familiar with the genre. You should try and read their autobiography that was released not too long ago.💜

-eternal roommates yoonjin ftw!! -yes Hobi learned from namgi how to rap -jinnie has a masters degree and went to one of the most prestigious universities -taetae was in Mexico filming Jinny’s Kitchen and went back early to send Jin off to the military -that was MAMA 2018 when they cried and mentioned disbandment -that song was Abyss by Jin -Hobi's episode of suchwita is coming tonight -pls watch the rest of the episodes of Jin's traditional alcohol journey -they bleep brand names like PlayStation or maple story -Jin also worked for Maple Story for like 2 episodes and there's also a series where the boys made character sets for the game -my universe was the collab with coldplay and there's a documentary about it -Ami please keep streaming, buying, voting for Seven!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Yoongi saying they living five minuts away reminds me when Seokjin talk about he bumped into Yoongi when they rode the bike to work and Yoongi waved at him but he didn't know it was Yoongi and thought the person hurt his arm until Yoongi texted him "why are you riding like an old man" THIS IS PEAK COMEDY😂😂

@29:29 hobi encountered hiphop music through dance before BTS. His very early influences were J Cole (🥺) and Kriss Kross. He came to Seoul, learned rap through their mentor Yankee (from hiphop duo TBNY) and practiced with namgi (which were very supportive as they already have underground rap + songwriting experience) and other trainees. He very quickly caught up and had also been writing his own rap verses, freestyling and producing from early on their career!!

🤣Bro! Not you having a dream about Jin telling you to go to work! 🤣🤣

they censor major names and brands due to very strict rules in south korea, so dark souls, maple story, and any other game name mentioned is censored and major brands that are not sponsoring bts also majorly gets censored

you knew it was hobi 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I cried during this ep, I miss them so much 💜

It’s the tin cup Korean style. You drink the Makkoli with it. It’s a very old custom in Korea. I remember when I was a child my uncles would send me to get Makkoli with a tin tea pot. I loved doing it because on the way home I’ll drink it from the spout. Good memories!

39:30 that's yoongi and jungkook with jin shaving his head 💜

Omg, have you not heard Jin’s song Abyss?!? It’s so good!

the game yoongi mentions jin likes to play is maple story and jin actually helped make some stuff for the game (last year, i guess. he went to work, present an idea and there are some videos on maple story channel about the whole process. it's really interesting

HOBIS EPISODE COMES OUT TOMORROW 🎉🎉

leaving this here because i’m early: ✦ Pre-order and pre-save ‘Jack In The Box (Hope Edition)’ now !!!!!!!! The album will be released on AUG 18, 1PM KST !!!! Spread the word !!! 💕 ✦ Please stream and make sure to include ALL TRACKS of JITB, On The Street (to get it nominated and win award shows) and Just Dance (100M🔜) on your playlists! ✦ Reminder that hobi will also be on suchwita tomorrow (July 19, 10PM KST) 🧡

Hi loui, just for your knowledge, they had to blur al brand that did not work or the contract already finish with BTS. In these case, play statiion and maple story. You have to watch how seokjin became apprentice for maple story company, nexon in 1 day

You definitely have to react to Jin’s Traditional Alcohol Journey!! It also has Chef Baek (Paik) who has appeared in several episodes of RunBTS! [I made this suggestion during the Suchwita portion of the reaction not realizing he was gonna watch it immediately after, lol]

man you should really go back to that one guide/intro to bts video you watched when you first got into bts, i don't remember if it has spoilers but you'll understand it better with all the context you have now for sure

Not you becoming a fan fan when you can tell them apart by angles. Next it’s going to be a body part 😂

If i had a penny for every time Loui said "on god" I'd be super rich

When jhope came out too i was happy as hell man. I really love them together, i cried while watching lol

Hobi's Suchwita episode comes out tmo (Weds 19th) :)

Hobi's episode is released July 19th at 10pm kst!

Love you. I love the energy between BTS. The beauty of their relationship despite the fact they are all so different. It’s amazing

Oh yep you definitely have to watch yoongi's last concert in SEOUL that was livestreamed

You’re so relatable! Lol I remember becoming army in 2018 so that MAMA acceptance speech ABSOLUTELY BROKE ME. I was like I JUST GOT HERE. But obviously they had already overcome that at the time. I was just so emotional hearing them talk about it and seeing them all cry. My heart hurt so much for them.

2017-2018 was a REALLY tough year for them they talk about it in the book and armys really don’t bring that award show up because it was a tough time for us and them so we was really shocked when they brought it up 😭

31:37 They have a book out where they tell some stories of the beginning of their career. 33:10 I think Yoongi would make their bed frames too. He likes carpentry.

i remember back then when they were trainee, namjoon and yoongi opened class for other trainee teaching hiphop to them, and hobi opened dance class

going straight from south korea to any south american country would still be a very long flight, since it's almost the exact opposite side of the world. idk a lot about planes but i don't think a single plane has enough fuel or whatever to fly for 24+ hours lmao

Highly suggest you read the book, BTS Beyond The Story! At least up to the part you’re at in their discography. There are so many details from the members perspectives on how they started out. You would ASSUME bighit had the money for instructors and teachers, but that’s far from reality. They were a tiny company. RM and Suga passionately taught and shared their love of rap & hip hop with the other members. They called this the “rap den”. It’s SUCH A GOOD READ.

hobi’s episode will be released today. and honestly i think you need to watch some compilations of sope (suga + j-hope) vlives together which they call them “hwagae market” to see more of their amazing bond

In cast you don’t know- South Korea is kind of weird about dropping brand names on TV (they had a song called Converse High you’ll get to soon and they had to rewrite half the words) so they’ll always bleep it out of the subtitles Plus even when it’s an unofficial live or something they’ll avoid saying brand names because half the time Army will buy out whatever they mention. Jungkook once came on live to scold us for selling out a drink he likes because he couldn’t get it anymore because of us

10:35 you know you've been working hard when you start dreaming of your boss!!

2018 was something else. They were RISING like crazy. Their growth has always been an exponential curve but everyone was suddenly chanting "this is their peak" and it was hectic, even for the fans. It was also the best year on army twitter until antis ruined it in November 2018 (N@zi accusations, terrible time). And then they were sweeping in the award shows (as they deserved) and the fans were going crazy because this was the most awards they've ever won. We all knew it was a HUGE year. And then suddenly Jin says they were thinking of disbandment. It was such a shock. Then we all went back and looked at this year once again to realise how painful it was for them. 2018 really was everything.

no rappers didn´t have a teacher but RM and Suga also learned rap by themself or by listening to rap. they teached J-hope when they lived togehter. only the vocal line has a teacher and they also have a dancing teacher. but watch "American hustle life", BTS went to the US to study hip hop and they also learned alot. incl beatboxing

i'm so impressed u actually realised it was Hobi in split second and also in split second realised voice wasn't V too. u definitely pay close attention to them!

Loui, I’m going to recommend you read their book. There’s so much in there about their pre debut days.

jin exploded into dust???? thanos, what did you do?????

I'm in this for all my lives! 😆😆

You know you're deep deep into the rabbit hole when you've started seeing the members in your dreams...

nah the talk about their physical abilities is so mind blowing actually, like from the news i heard about how jin & hobi are doing in the military right now is kinda crazy bcus wdym both of them keep getting promoted to higher ranks in such a quick rate they all gonna come out looking like the hulk is not a joke anymore im so not ready yall

I cried three times watching this with you again but laughed 10x more because of your commentary XD

🗣️"Ostrich's Feathers" took out 🤣🤣🤣🤣 -You have to Finish Jin's Alcohol Journey! 💜 👑 💜 The way I miss Bangtan 😩🤌 APOBANGPO! ARMY! STREAM JK "SEVEN"

Not Loui dreaming of Jin pls 🤣🤣🤣 Can you tell him to come to my dreams next and order me to go to work too. 🤣

perfect timing.. I def prefer watching tribe loui over work. lol

29:41 namjoon and yoongi did teach him how to rap and hobi is of course a genius for picking it up this well. you should read BEYOND THE STORY to understand their circumstances back then more

I miss Jinie and Hobi... Moonie and Taetae... Minie, Jaykey and Yoonie... i miss my bros ;-;

Suga and j-hope did have a rap teacher (but I can’t remember his name-they’ve both openly talked about him before). And j-hope is just a really self-directed person so he grew up in hip hop and pulled influences from them too. J. Cole for example. But having Joon and Yoongi around 24/7 surely was a huge influence. But just remember he’s been rapping for 13 years now, just a couple less than Joon. So he’s a master of his craft in his own right.

In the BTS book jhope said that it was like a rap den in their dorm everyone will be freestyle n do cyphers that how jhope developed his own style of rapping.

The Suchwita episode with j-hope airs tomorrow (the 19th) at 8 AM ET. And yes, you should definitely put Hobi's MAMA 2022 performance on your watch list. He also accepted awards for BTS and himself. He made a call during his 2nd speech to Jin in the military. 😂

HIII TRIBE LOUI ‼️ this is one of my favourite suchwita episode fr

you know you're ARMY when you recognize them from the back of their head hahahahaha

The way u be drinking the soju be makin me nervous I feel like your gonna spill it😭😭😭

I highly recommend reading Beyond The Story, BTS’ 10th anniversary biography. It tells the story of their honest journey as a group, including their hardships in the beginning, such as BTS’ shortage of staff, space, financial support and resources predebut and during their first few active years! They really didn’t have many instructors at all, mainly just a vocal coach and their choreographer, Son Sungdeuk, plus a couple producers that included Bang Sihyuk himself. The rapline were really on their own.

i seen that clip so many times “yes, you that broke you need it bAaack?” 😭😭

in case you don't know, hobi's suchwita episode comes out tomorrow july 19th at 10pm kst!

Ahhh tribe this was such a nice surprise I really enjoyed this! Love that suchwita episode. And u need to continue with Jin's traditional alcohol journey I think there are art 4 (?) episodes...it would be lovely if u could

yes, they had instructors (vocal, rap, dance lessons) when they were training, and they still do. but Big Hit was financially unstable during BTS' early days so it would've been limited due to their budget. I think they really started to make bank around 2016-2017 (correct me if I'm wrong, Amis)

ostrich feathers LOOOOOL

I think you're just a bit overexposed. You should adjust your light so that it reflects properly on your face :)

You must watch Hobi’s solo performance at MAMA 2022. Make sure you see his Red Carpet, and his acceptance speeches. What he did for Jin will leave you with the best feeling. The performance was EPIC❤️‍🔥

There's a lot going on in that 2028 MAMA award ceremony on stage. Body language, facial expressions. Love and adore BTS!

Tae was in Mexico cus he was shooting jinnys kitchen. Tribe louis... you are really catching up on the main stories or bts by just watching suchwita.. thats awesome. The 2018 thing.... their most thoughest year while simultaneously being their most successful year. I became a fan during idol. A few months in I was watching mama and saw bts do that speech. I was in shock cus even though I've been a fan only for about 4 months then, I knew bts and their relationship with each other was different. I hope you through the bts albums.... they explain everthing in the music. Also hobi, he knew hiphop cus of dance... he just didn't try rapping until he moved into the bts dorms a month after suga in 2010. He started rapping cus he was living with about 10 rappers at the time. He would just observe how they freestyled and he would just join in even though he was a beginner. And yoongi and joon guided him on that journey. In 2011 and 2012 rapline became the official hiphop trio BTS. They made satoori rap and when they brought in the 4 vocalists... they created a school of hiphop to teach the vocal line about hiphop. Joon, yoongi and hobi would sit down at night and became teachers for the 4 vocalists and they thought them about American hiphop and its history. In the mornings hobi would teach them dance. They all thought each other something. Tribe, if you are into reading get yalls hands on the bts memoire. Its tells you everything.

Has the tribe already reacted to the 1st episode is suchitwa🧎🏾‍♀️l loved episode 12 as well 😘💜💜💜 hobi, Jin with Yoongi is a masterpiece

I love that you stumbled across Jins alcohol show with Mr Pak! It's long but definitely a lot of fun to watch!

Just when I was missing them 😭 I was missing your videos too Loui 💜

J-hope's suchwita ep 14 is tomorrow 😊

Nice. This is one of my favorite of your reaction videos.

This ep is so good this is gonna be fun

Loved watching this with you again. BTW apparently Jin is really doing well in the military. He recently revealed his rank and to get it 2 months early, he had to be Special Class Warrior. All in all, the conditions to become a " Special class warriors" include: achieving a 90% hit rate in shooting (typically 18 hits out of 20 rounds), 86 sit-ups within 2 minutes, completing more than 72 push-ups within 2 minutes, a 3km run within 12.5 min, rapid marching in 20kg full gear, 5km run in 15kg gear, 240 meters round-trip race within 1 minute 20 seconds, 420 times leg tugs, etc. Even in the military it seems that BTS members excel.

Hobi did his feature with Jo Kwon - Animal before he debuted with BTS, so he is being his usual modest, but he is so intense when he dives in, he absorbed like a sponge the different techniques from RM and Suga. When you get to Love Yourself Outro:Tear the Rapline, you will understand why Jin talks about potentially disbanding and how difficult it really was for our lads. Epic performance at Wembley.

This was so much fun, I love every minute of this video 😊

alcohol made from rice aka rice wine is quite common in asia!! (East, Southeast, South Asian countries specifically) generally the alcohol is made by fermenting rice with yeast, theres so many variations of rice wine all over these countries, ie. makgeolli from South Korea, sake from japan and ours is called Lihing in Sabah, Malaysia

on the topic of crazy bts dreams, an iconic one from twitter is someone said they dreamt that they switched body with jungkook but he refuses to switch back, and they're panicing because they don't want to damage jk's career and yelling at him on the phone like "jungkook you're not being reasonable, I don't even speak korean!" 😂

1:02:29 Btw! 'Teacher' in Korean is 'Son-saeng-nim'! That's the korean equivalent of 'Sensei' (which is 'teacher' in japanese).

this was good to watch esp since hobi on suchwita is also dropping today!

23:49 Hobi is drinking water

Loui!!! 💜Jin’s Journey is some of the best BTS content ever. Two things for your info: Sensei in Korean is Sun-sang-nim. Nim at the end of addressing someone is a term of respect. Also, the etiquette for drinking soju is to drink it from a shot glass. Give it a try next time! And if you can find grapefruit Jinro - get it! It is my fave after green grape😉

I can't wait for your reaction to the mma peformaces hope you will see them soon they are so dope💜💜

Nationwide Handsome what's Good?

The song name at @12:30 is Abyss!! Truly a gem. You gotta react to it Tribe Loui!!!

“I’m sure Bang PD gave them like an official instructor or something” you underestimate how broke they were 😂 Hoseok kind of just got thrown in the deep end, BTS was supposed to be a Hip Hop group so basically all of the trainees they brought in already knew how to rap (at first, it kind of changed around the time Jungkook was brought in) so while they may have had a few lessons with an instructor here or there, for the most part JHope learned from RM and Suga with probably some help from the other trainees who didn’t end up staying. When they decided to make the group more of an idol group with a hip-hop feel they did bring in proper instructors then for dance (primarily their choreographer Son Sungdeuk) but when they didn’t have them there JHope was basically in charge, it’s why he’s referred to as their Dance Leader rather than just their Main Dancer. But yeah from the sounds of it JHope was just thrown into the middle of a bunch of high schoolers constantly having rap battles and doing cyphers and just had to go for it.

Miss the guys so much. 😭💜

I'm not sure if you remember but I'm pretty sure you reacted to abyss before during jin week 😮 (since you reacted to almost all their solos I think). Its definately a really good song (one of my favorites from jin😊) edit: funny enough the episode with hobi is coming out tomorrow lmao so you picked a good time to watch this😂 (we had to wait almost two months for it💀)

Just wanna say hope you have a nice break Loui, we'll wait for your comeback day. No pressure, but I'm expecting a comeback trailer, a teaser, concept photos, new hair, new style, a making of video, a short film, a performance video, a dance practice video, and a behind the scenes video. No pressure!

You heard Abyss Jonathan. But I don't blame you for forgetting as you were listening to a lot of songs

no louiiiii you gott listen to my universe RN!!!!!!!!

29:27 NOPE. LITERALLY YES WAY, deadass learned from rm and suga and maybe some staff they had (they had like 10-11 staff members when the company initially started)

there are two shows. with 2 episodes I think. one where he first learns and one where he and his friend, a famous Korean chief on TV is with him. both are good.
