I love the fact that the BTS guys support love in all genders and orientations

Omg BTS are grown ass men. Let them be. Their music is freaking awesome as a group and separately. These fans need to wake up and smell the coffee

the only reason why fans falsely label V as gay because they are jealous to see their bias with women... I'm glad for Taehyung to do whatever he wants, and express it however he wants to. He's a grown man, not some innocent 12 yo 😭💀

They want Kpop recognized all over the world, but don't want the world to be a part of Kpop. Love is Love is Love! The 7 understand this. For people who don't get it. I feel bad for them and the people in their life.

People's ignorance still surprises me. It's 2024, not 1224...

Парни выросли и каждый волен делать то что ему нравится тэтэ молодец он выбрал и идёт своей дорогой как говорят собака лает караван идет

Love U Tae, and This MV Soooo Much!! U and All Of BTS NEVER Disappoints, and NEVER Could!! U Beautiful 7 Are Pretty Much The Perfection In The Music Biz With All U Do!! Like JK Said....."Please Don't Change", "Cause I Love Ya"!! 💜💜💜😘😘

I’m a fan. My friends are fans. I’m horrified by the antisemitism! These protesters are going to eliminate our talented BTS if they keep it up. They make music , not politics 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I wonder if this kind of behavior of fans also partly the fault of the industry. Dont get me wrong, im against this kind of obsession some fans show. However when mng constantly apologise for every single thing that some dont like, is giving those fans the sense of ownership of what idols can do, say, think, behave. As to some living under a stone for ages with those comments about the video is just pathetic. Did they really apologise for the content of the video? How is this not holding an idol back from his own creativity? Such a shame

I applaud to Kim Taehyung for showing other kinds of love and himself being romantic in this MV! He is the brave mature artist, showing what the world is made off and accepting it! Let theSe artists spread their wings freely, reach and show their full potential ! Whoever is offended by this is at the wrong place in the wrong century.

OMG!!! People just need to effin grow up, they are all grown men, so stop acting so childish.

I love you and your videos, ok I love bts and I love V, and I see nothing wrong with his video it was really good, like RM says Haters going to Hate Omfg people grow up, V is a grown ass adult he not a child anymore there's alot of Videos that's has guys kissing guys and girls kissing girls, gezz love is love and shouldn't be judged regardless, you need to deal with it if you have a problem, some of yall just want to freaking complain about anything that's has to do with bts before it was jk and 7 people complaining that he said the F word oh my word people get a clue most of yall are baby armys that's wants to have bts do what you want them to do and only for you. News flash this new generation let it go, these are grown ass men and dont need yall to babysit them, like RM says again touch some grass go outside do something besides complaining on what our kings should or shouldn't do, I love V voice and the Video was amazing he did a great job I see nothing wrong with it, thank you dave for all keep updates on our boys love you!!!

La verdad no entiendo de que protestan,en nuestro pais todos aceptamos todo tipo de relacion que sea con amor sin importar el genero crecimos viviendo normal estas cosas que pareciera es un escandalo para cierto sector de la sociedad no se entiende....pareciera que vivieran en un foco o lamparita la verdad retraza mil años!!!espero vayan aprendiendo a ser empaticos y darse cuenta realmente que sus pensamientos quedaron en el pasado!!!gracias DAVE POR SER CLARO Y CONCISO!!!!SALUDOS

What people have to realize is that in the end of the day , businesses is business. As for Friends, people should take a chill pill because it's the 21st century and people should be like Pokemon: Evolve. Love is love. It doesn't matter who between who..

The members are literally in their late 20's and early 30's. All are in the military. Grown men. They have traveled the world. They have been on a creative journey, making music from many different genres. Pop, Rap, Hip Hop, Emo, Punk, Rock, Ballads, etc., most originated in Western Culture. In order to become global artists, they have to break into the larger markets of the United States, India, Europe, etc. They have always been supporters of the LGBTQIA+ Community. They don't traffic in hate. They never will. If you're upset about this new song and MV from Taehyung, then you're not a true supporter of him and never understood him as an artist. It's time for you to start following other musical groups and move on.

I think it's great that this was included in the video, thank you Tae, good work❤️👌💜

The music is wonderful, V is brilliant and a great Human Being and the MV is beautiful and fabulous! Everything else that can be said to the contrary about this is just noise from people who are unhappy with life and themselves.

Have these people got so much free time to spend protesting. Countries are responsible for their own actions, keep it out of the music industry. 🎶 as a western I would be sad not to see Kpop being shared with us, also we are not as intrusive of our idols, BTS are inclusive and I think its wonderful, their messages via their music is inspiring and they will never lose their heritage.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

V is pure love and we need more people like v. He isn't capable of hate or being mean. More people need to be like v.

Why are people so worried about LGBTQ kissing in Vs video it's a fact of life in 2024. Honestly they need their heads banging together

Very well said Dave 👏 👏👏

Spot on, I say these things daily and the words all on deaf stupid ears. You are amazing to keep trying to get the right message out. True ARMY would not behave this way and would only act in the best ways to support and protect our guys. Thank you for being you Dave

People's ignorance still surprises me. It's 2024, not 1224... The truth is I don't understand what they are protesting about, in our country we all accept all types of relationships that are with love, regardless of gender, we grew up living these things normally that seem to be a scandal for a certain sector of society, it is not understood... it seems that If you lived in a light bulb or a lamp, the truth takes back a thousand years!!! I hope you learn to be empathetic and really realize that your thoughts are in the past!!! THANK YOU DAVE FOR BEING CLEAR AND CONCISE!!!! GREETINGS

I am so tired of these so called fans who are truly sounding more like trouble makers and have no real life thing They are really going to regret it one day when they get the same treatment to shameful

The Man has absolutely nothing to apologise for. The video and track were so well done. Personally, I really liked this. Mr Kim Tae Hyung , Head up, Chin up, you are an amazing artist.

Ohh come on... it's 2024...grow up people.. booo. It's a great song and video..I support V!! Will always support V!!

Acertado todo lo que dijiste Dave, me preguntaba cuándo empezarian las criticas al MV si ya habian rumoreado tanto antes de MV. Otro punto es la presentación de V con el tema en vivo para cartier transmitido por W Korea (o en conjunto) donde no hace mención a "en tu cama" (bed) y deja que la grabación de apoyo lo haga, me pareció que de alguna forma tuvo alguna presión para no cantar esa parte. Una pena que Corea del Sur aun tenga tantas restricciones, les encanten los ship pero está mal vista la homosexualidad, entre otros temas. Everything you said was right Dave, I was wondering when the criticism of the MV would start if there had already been so much rumors before the MV. Another point is V's presentation with the live song for Cartier broadcast by W Korea (or together) where he does not mention "in your bed" (bed) and lets the supporting recording do it, it seemed to me that of Somehow he had some pressure not to sing that part. It's a shame that South Korea still has so many restrictions, they love ships but homosexuality is frowned upon, among other issues.

Thanks!

I see that most of the crap about the guys is always on tik tok...I'll be so glad when they shut it down. 😊at least here in the US...

Dave is smart and kind and I enjoy listening to him talk. He's easy on the eyes as well.❤️ you Dave

It`s almost like a bunch of 2 year olds decided to send a truck to protest. Good lord when are these so-called fans going to get a life and grow up. You would think they have other things more constructive to do.

I have to wonder if there isn't some company or companies behind all this protest, it seems like a lot of push from 'fans'. I have to think there is someone who is behind this trying to bring down HYBE, this seems to be very organized for a 'fan' group.

BTS are making music for their fans all over the world, if you don't like it don't listen 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

This is ridiculous. These guys have been through enough to get where they are now. It is just pure jealousy. This is 2024, be happy for what they have achieved and how they put Korea on the map again with pure love and hard work. The whole world love these guys and thier music WILL be played🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

I feel like the couples in the MV are symbolic of their fans. The fans are happy as long as the guys are single. However, the moment they think any of them are dating someone, they are angry. They can't lose for winning which is symbolized by him getting hit in both situations. The end of the video shows him recognizing he can be happy even if it's just with himself.

V ain't apologizing for anything nor should he. BTS members believe love is love and speak on loving yourself so why wouldn't that apply to people in LGBTQ+ ? It doesn't weirdos.

I loath wake (yes, spelt it wrong) BS, 100%, but not sure where everyone's arguments are going. They all seem bonkers (what with making out like V has to get her/their permission to date because.....like all wake people, they have lost all grip on reality. V's song is brilliant!!!!!!! Love it!!!!!! Yip, the video was way more sexually graphic but......its probably just exaggerating on what life is like in so many parts of the world (since it has people from all over but Korea/Asia).

Like when u people make gay kissing intense scene in bl kdrama... there is nothing wrong in it... But u gotta be kidding me... Just bcz.. there is some gay kissing scene..u guys are hyperventilating for banning this.... I am so done with this people's mindset.....

V. Já nasceu pronto lindo elegante Maravilhoso talentoso tae nasceu pra brilhar 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏💓💗❤️💓💓💗💙

Tae é um cara cheio de carinho e carater . Ficou claro que ele não é gay isso e imaginário de fãs . E não vi nada de mais no vídeo. Tae esta sozinho e todos tem alguém pra amar . Depois aparece ele com uma garota e esta feliz , e todos brigando e o casal não esta nem ai . Depois o Tae acorda feliz com ele mesmo . Tae precisa de alguém que o ame verdadeiramente e não coloca outras coisas como prioridade. Acho que ele tem namorada mais nunca vai apresentar , por causas de fãs tóxicas ele vai protege - la .

I will always say love is love.

I love V he is a Handsome cute guy so just let him live he life i love the music and the video is natting roung with it we are in 2024 and things got to change for every one so stop dreaming and enjoy the group they all are fantastic take care every one and God Blesses you all with love and Knowledge

Some people live in a bubble seperate from reality apparently. Tae's video was amazing and so creative! I loved it! 💜

I love that Dave thru in the joke "...people are just mad that people are kissing ... and V is seeing people kissing and may start kissing himself..." 😄 ...in the midst of such a serious topic. I, honestly, thought that some of the coupling was quite BOLD during my first watch (...considering the culture where our boys are from.) Then, my next thought was, BTS knows they have the power to influence and therefore change. ...And I had no doubt that it was done purposefully knowing that it would cause issues. As an older fan and a mom... I have an urge to protect them from all things negative and/or harmful... so I feel like "oh, no don't do that ... just ... no" BUT sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. ...I like that he included all in his mv because it is important and necessary. 👍💜🤗

V, BTS and HYBE knew there would be a backlash but chose to go ahead regardless. Thank you for being brave and speaking up for the marginalised groups. Nothing will change unless people in the public eye demonstrate acceptance and openness.. loved V before this video. Love him more now. Love is love ❤

nice

I find it so absurd that people still have this kind of mentality. First of all, to think that they own the artist, or that they are romantically involved with an idol. Come on! Get a life! V is entitled to choose whatever concept he wants for his MV's, and to support whatever community he wants as well, provided it is not a group of harmful people., no one should criticize his support. LGBT people DO exist! We didn't pop up out of nowhere, we're human beings and as such, deserve respect. Our love, our relationships, our families are not different from anyone's with a different sexual orientation. Learn how to appreciate diversity because the world is diverse!

Спасибо Дэйв вас приятно слушать вы честный человек .Все ребята хороши но Ким Тэхён это Ангел берегите его .Вы освещаете только правду.Желаю вам здоровье процветание вашему каналу.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

I love this video❤❤❤❤❤it us 2024, look at what all other countries send out online, look at mist of the usa videos

To be honest, I'm not big on PDA, in general, but it's not my place to judge. Seriously, though, the one point they latch onto is the lgbt kissing scenes? I mean, there was an older couple sharing a freaking banana! There was a couple going at it on the hood of a car, another on the ground, while V lay bleeding out from his head! *LOL* And the kissing is what they took exception to. I just can't.. *LOL*

How much do these trucks cost? I’m amazed at the ignorance these people possess 🤦🏻‍♀️

We live in a time where love should be seen, not judged. To those who support BTS's message, I love you and hope love finds you everyday in life ❤💜

respect they privacy we are fans and love them so please understand they are going to fall in love and get married and have kids be happy for them ❤💜💜

Тэхен гений и уже признан во всём МИРЕ!!❤❤

BTS paves the way. They all agree with this slogan, but don't think about the consequences, as if they don't listen to their lyrics or their general message of self-knowledge and the resulting self-love. They want to see BTS at the top of all the charts, but exclude any outside western influence. This is racism?!? The same people who criticize LGBT people find NOTHING wrong with men wearing skirts, earrings, hair crowns, makeup, and behaving very intimately on stage or in front of the camera. Or Jungkook singing a Sam Smith song.🤷 And I find THAT strange.☝️🙄 BTS knows that their fandom includes narrow-minded, toxic people. So it won't surprise them. BTS don't even like these people, who want to draw attention to themselves with harsh criticism of their actions. Ugh! BTS can actually thank these people for their attention now, because these men are Adults, have their emotions under control, rest within themselves and know who they are through hard experiences. These mature, free-thinking members of BTS are above these comments. So let's just leave these people to their comments and pay them no further attention. These people have the concept of LOVE (Eros and Agape) not (yet) understood. Haters will hate, players will play. It's just a shame that such actions can lead to members deleting accounts, no longer going online frequently or generally skimping on "information". I would find that sad. Because I am very excited about our future. Borahae💜

Our BTS I mean loook at Vixx old video or exo videos lyrics are a bit crazy .. but sweet BTS V why that video. Is totally V and my BTS members … at leant they can say and show what the number 1 boy and means to army … we do not live under the rock smile and be nice people

Like love is love like if any of the boys are gay or bi we need to support them.

❤kim taeyhung V Seu video foi um estouro belo Romantico A musica linda muito gostosa de ouvir . Ele ,lindo maravilhoso .Ator Fenomenal . Eu Amei FriEnd ❤️ foi alem do que esperava ❤❤❤❤💯🤗 Parabéns 👑

Song and MV are Perfect! There are and will be always criticism and hating. There are backward countries and people with old fashioned mentalities 😢

The listening party happened. It was just late because of a technical problem and it continues on schedule as posted.

In all history there have been gay people get over it kissing is NORMAL let’s all pray that all the BTS members find a Significant other with a happy normal life do a lot of adult things and live a peaceful life. Thanks Dave for all you do many blessings from North Texas.❤

I Am Very Upset About HYPE. Taking Action Against TaeHyung's MV FRI ENDS Remarking About Gay Kissing Their "Jealousy Of TaeHyung's Continuous Successes Without HYBE PROMOTION Is UNACCEPTABLE Especially When The Biggest Amount Of FAN/ARMYS Have No Adverse Reaction To Personal "Self Love" Preferences I Had NO OFFENSIVE REACTION AT ALL . . . I EVEN GIGGLED BECAUSE IT BROUGHT BACK A MEMORY OF MY GRANDMOTHER KISSING HER BEST FRIENDS WHEN GREETING Thank You TaeHyung For The Lovely Memory And The Incredibly Beautiful Song/MV 🙇‍♀️

Out of curiosity isn't the purpose for any artist to gain worldwide recognition, appreciation, and fame? Was it expected that kpop would never evolve or that the artists had no intention of evolving past the country of origin. There are so many important topics to be addressing and protesting

There is nothing wrong with V new video called Friends i loved it. People just like to start rumors thats all. Its simple if they dont like the video then dont listen to it. That simple..but me personally i love BTS group and also each individual member as well.

Ironic that they're offended of the showing of LGBTQ+ couples in the video when they're also likely the ones that are coupling members together🤔... I love that BTS are inclusive. 💜

Didnt your parents tell ypu that you could not make everyone happy all the time. One of life's many lessons. I think too many people missed the lesson of tolerance.💜🎶💜

I thought the new video by V was awesome. He is an amazing talent with such a beautiful voice. The video was great, and people who are so opinionated on art need to reflect on themselves. If you are so offended, then don't watch it.

Kpop developed from exposure to Western music. Most of Gen 1 sounded like American 80's music. Too many younger fans do not know the music history of kpop and the politics that opened up Korea to Western culture.

The fact the only Vs roll out and marketing has been so awful it’s pretty obvious they don’t support V

fans who are unhappy about this they just think that their idol Taehyung will be with them,no matter who he is, I, as a true fan, will support him 🤍💋

The entitlement and intrusive nature of some "fans" is creepy and, in some cases, illegal. BTS members knew the risk they ran by reaching out to fans. They ran the risk of fans thinking that they owned the celebrities. Fans should understand that while BTS treasures their fans, they refuse to be owned by them. V's song and video were prepared for the broadest possible audience, including gay people. This is 2024, and V wanted to include all humans; it's a shame that some "people" aren't happy unless some "others" are put down or shamed.

omg here we go again this has to be kids or they are haters just stop it grow up people

It hasn't been banned in S. Korea. The video goes through all the executives and higher up in Hybe before it's released. It gets really old all the time to hear that fans try to control everything that BTS and Big Hit and Hybe do. These are not fans. They need to find a life and be happy. But everywhere you look when it comes to BTS they are always complaining about something. But why did you put in your thumbnail that it was banned in Korea. .

Entiendan que eso es Corea y ellos son coreanos, no les gusta las trasgresiones, son muy cerrados por eso reaccionan así.

Fri(end)s banned I doubt it. Your captions are really something. Also they were hip hop/rap band in the beginning not later on & hip hop/ rap is not contemporary? What are you saying?? As Jin would "You know BTS?" In your case I do not think so...🤣🤣

This video is talking about taehyung & jungkook HATERS have to put their 2 cents in & attack jungkook!!!

I'm so embarrassed how Americans treat others and the guys know it

GLAD KOREAN CULTURE ISN'T PRACTICED IN U S.A. . CULTURAL DIFFERENCES HAD CAUSED BTS TO LOSE A LOR OF GREAT SONGS BEING HEARD LIKE 'MY CITY' , CONVERSE HIGH, MAMA & OTHER SONGS. THE FANS TREAT THE IDOLS BADLY NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. I'VE NEVER HERD OF A BUSINESS APOLOGIZE'S TO ANY FAN BASE LIKE HYBE!!! SO GROW UP OR FIND A YOUNGER GROUP THAT SUITS YOUR AGE GROUP LIKE SESAME STREET CHARACTERS! ARMY 4 LIFE

I. Can't. See. Problem. Hear. This. Is. Taehyung. Music. He. Is. Beautiful. Person. B. T. S. Won't. Hurt. Anyone. People. Will. Always. Have. Differences just. Agree. To. Dissagree. Love. Bts. My. Idols. My. Happyness. ❤💜💋💯💏🤗🌹👀🙏

Aff,tem que andar para frente,sei não viu.

V will never be able to make everyone happy, he needs to not be concerned about that nonsense and make themselves happy. I'm always proud of what they do.

Stick it to the haters, V! 😂

Lol, its going to get much worse for fans who cant hang when they come out.

Taehyung supports the LGTBQ community but he does not belong to the LGTBQ community

La gente que no tolera a Tae va a critícar lo que sea que haga él,ignorarlos es lo mejor🤷‍♀️

It’s 2024 people can love who they want and idols support them and bts have never made a video that’s for minors as they make stuff for depression teens stuff and they are adults so they can do stuff for their age and they support that also you People are just jealous that their bias is with a woman in a mv but like come on he Is a adult and it’s his life, idols do not belong to you they belong to their family and loved ones, tae is 30 next year like stop acting like little kids and leave him alone, tae and the girl look so cute together and for the way you are acting is the reason why they will not show their family or loved once to you as they are protecting them, the idol doesn’t even know you and is much older then you so you will never be with them just leave him alone and the girl leave her alone she is a actress and was just doing her job do not hate her and you all are probably little kids and teens just thinking you have a chance with them but they don’t even know you, I would love to see idols with his loved one and she will be so lucky, we are just fans and have a limit, so leave the idol alone

4:00 unfortunately both the members of BTS and all the other boy groups have said this repeatedly. I agree that a Western celebrity would never say something so silly, but it is not even a question of stupidity, it is simply an absurd way of giving up one's identity for money and fame.

For years I’ve appreciated your frank and clear information to Army esp to young followers about everything BTS & KPOP and how business works and how the world works. Important insights. But I wanted to give you some helpful information about Zionism. It is not a religion. Judaism is the religion practiced/followed by Jews around the world. Zionism is support for a Jewish State established in 1948 to shelter and protect Jews following the years’ long aggressive effort by Hitler and hundreds of thousands/millions of his followers to specifically eliminate all Jews from the world - an example of the true meaning of genocide -when one group tries to kill off all members of another group. Once Hitler and his followers were defeated, the world powers looked for a place to take in, shelter and protect the surviving Jews from genocide in the future. Thus Israel was established building on the historical desire to “return to Israel” described in the Torah/Old Testament Bible.

Gay kissing issue....really? How about the elderly couple sharing a "banana" scene? LOL 😂👍 Gosh people, wake up to 2024 reality!! 💜💜🎶😎

These fans are so delusional and entitled. "Fans" threatening to be the first hater of V because of the gay imaging in the MV, and the ones saying he should have told them he was in a relationship to ease the hurt are not true fans. True fans already know the group as a whole are allies of the LGBTQ+ community, so why is it such a shock to see it portrayed in one of their videos? And since when does him having a love interest in the MV automatically mean he is in a real life relationship? If a gay scene in a video makes you want to turn from fan to hater, you were never a true fan to begin with. This fandom just gets more and more toxic and delusional.

I love V and his team for deciding to include LGBT couples in the video. King Tae will not stand corrected by homophobes🤗💜👑✨️ Also, I don't mean to be a hater, but Zionism isn't a religion. Judaism is the religion. Zionism is a political nationalist movement. It's the ideology that the Jewish People has a historical and biblical claim on the land of Israel. You can be jewish and not zionist. Or support a moderate form of zionism (like Jews for Palestine or the Jewish voice for Peace who advocate for Palestinian liberation / a free and independant Palestine and peace between the two nations).

Did BTS ever did crazy concert for fans no ….. when why now 2024 when V has number 1 song all over they world anti crazy fans are just so mean I hate them you try to look at other k pop concerts like EXO great voices but bad company OK

So i am right that BTS means only V and Jungkook. Sometimes people drag jimin just to make him popular. But only V and jungkook is trending😂😂😂😂 Dave you dont have any other news! Leave them alone please. Dont spread rumour.. People dobt like to hear but we know who are those guys who dont like to be called Friends😂😂😂😂

This is so foolish BTS are a very respectful group to all . There's nothing wrong with the video I understand the deep meaning and I think it's beautiful and no I'm not gay. I just believe people should be more respectful of others.

Isn’t being gay illegal in Korea? Time for changes in their laws! For me, BTS can do no wrong

Zionisim isn’t a religion wtf 😅😅😅 you have a lot of reading to do

His ante was as bad as Jimin was half naked they should take Jimin down I thought V was good people are jealous because he is better than jimin because he got number 1 Jimin fans can't stand it

Молодцы АРМИ ,что завозмущались сценами однополых отношений . МОЛОДЦЫ. Пусть это все вне кадров остается ,не нужна эта грязь на экране. Да на западе это модно,но мир совращать зачем? BTS

What the hell is black music

you’re always very sus finding excuses for Hybe and BH i wouldn’t be surprised if you’re in their payroll
