P.S. BANG PD went to B-Free's company to talk to him after he heard "that" interview. B-Free (like the coward that he is) refused to meet Bang PD face to face. So that night, Bang PD took the BTS members to a nice dinner and comforted them. Then he posted on Twitter something along the lines of: "It's okay to give constructive criticism but why did you have to come to BTS' celebration and bully kids so much younger than you. We all need to think about what it means to be a better adult." This just reminded me of Namjoon addressing the haters at PTD Vegas Concert and his VLive recently. He had amazing role models and mentors. PPS. B-Free is arrested again for assault and starting "beef" on Instagram with other rappers. Never grew and never learned.

JK: I want people to be able to say "I'm a fan of Bangtan Sonyeondan" without feeling embarrassed. Me: I've never been prouder of anything in my entire life. 💜 BTS Forever 💜

20:13 "You gotta understand jealousy and envy live in the same spring" -Blaze

This documentary was put together so perfectly that there is no need for a narrator to speak about the story. All were evidenced by videos, vlogs and clips that deliver the story so well, with emotions and truth. Thanks so much fam!! Pls do continue this. I will always join you from start til end!! Come on!! L💜

Shoutout for Aneesa for her hard work on The Rise Of BANGTAN

I will remember your words Blaze, 'celebrate every step you make to help you move on to the next' Thank you for saying those. 💜

Our boys have done so much and come so far its amazing to look back on, it can be hard to look back on some on the hard things they had to go through but it helped to make them who they are now and we love them just the way they are 💜

When we say BTS helps us in so many ways, this is what we're talking about. I've been their fan since 2014. The level of standard that has been set upon us is so high and their music and messages helps me to get through all those expectations and hardships.

What I also really loved about this episode was how it contextualized struggles of Korean youth at that time alongside BTS' performance of N.O so you can really see why their music and lyrics resonated with so many young people that time. They were truly representing struggles and stories of their people, that's why they're so powerfu. 💜

I so appreciate your honest reactions to this excellent series. What amazes me every time I see that awful interview is Namjoon's and Yoongi's maturity in their response. As young as they were, they were the adults in the room. 💜

I’ll never understand why some guys are so pressed about others acting “feminine”. Most of the time they don’t even realize they’re being misogynistic.

8:45 "LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT NOT WHAT THE WORLD TELL YOU IT IS" -BLAZE

BTS was the only group at that time brave enough to clap back at the system in Korea, thats why the youths latched on to them so much .. they literally voiced how the young people felt at the time 👍 fun fact did you guys know whenever they got negative comments RM would translate it to positive comments so the members wouldn't get hurt .. staning BTS was the best decision I ever made .. subscribing to your channel is second best .. you guys are the best reactors of BTS on KZfaq 100% 👍👍🥰🥰💜💜💜💜💜

I loved this reaction! I still can't believe BTS had so many bangers so early on, I mean the 1st mini albums trilogy is impeccable, I kept it for months in my car and vibed so hard! Aneesa is doing such a great job! I love this series.

I absolutely adore this episode, really one of my faves. The way they held off the remainder of Rise of Bangtan and inserted that BFree interview-and THEN playing the rest of it in the end when they won their much deserved awards will never not give me chills! I totally agree with yall, this documentary is storytelling masterpiece for sure. Always excited for the next yall! 💜

It really takes a lot not to cave to the wrong expectations of your peers and to allow yourself to be publicly vulnerable. Impressive for a group of young men. I think RM, Suga and Jin's personalities really set an example and created an environment for the other boys to grow without toxic masculinity.

This documentary is truly a love letter to Bangtan. It's executed so well and gives a lot of insight into their early stages of progress. The creator really did a phenomenal job.

Sometimes I forget how much have happened in 9 years but damn I'm glad to still be a part army even tho I'm more a casual fan because of university requires so much atm but if it weren't for bts and kpop in general I wouldn't have some of the choices I've done to get me where I am today and for that I'm grateful for the genre and community

Super thankful to the OG ARMYs for encouraging the boys when we havent found them yet and having their backs. Love this family so much!

So glad you guys are watching Rise 💜💜💜 I also meant to say how impressive Namjoon’s response was, he didn’t go to B-Free’s level.

I'm with U guys on getting angry at that discussion with BF that I refer to as BS trying to dis our guys like that. RM kept his cool at such a tender age. Very mature & above BF's immature level. Don't mess with Suga. He's from the trenches 😂

BEST 38 MINUTES OF MY WEEK. TALK ABOUT REAL GENUINE REACTIONS! You guys made this soooo much better. I felt your rage, I felt YOU feeling MY rage when Be free tried to mess around with our boys. Thank you for being so authentic man. I'm not watching this series without you guys. I purple you 💜💜💜

리액션에서 정말 진심이 느껴지고 정말 제가 좋아하는 리액션 채널중 탑3에 들어가요 🥰🥰🥰 앞으로도 잘 부탁드려요💜

Love watching this series with you guys! I became an ARMY only 2 years ago when the pandemic hit, and I was in not a very good place and BTS is literally what kept me going ♥️ I've come to know about their history and whenever I watch these things, it gives me such goosebumps because these guys have worked so hard right from the start. And the most amazing part is that whatever they were saying back then abou working hard for us and being grateful for us, they still say the same thing with maybe even stronger emotions. It's such a rare thing to see such humility in artists who are that level. And that is why nothing can compare to the love and respect that BTS and ARMY share with each other.

Their struggles paid off although it's heartbreaking to see them being pressured and struggling but every pain and suffering paid off there is no success without hardships

This Docu series is the best and I'm so glad to be watching it with all of you. Looking forward to the next episodes.

I only started listening to them a week ago and I'm seriously obsessed. They are so disciplined, diligent, humble and professional.

So, fun rewatching these with you. I can't wait for the newest one to drop. The storytelling is so great, each episode is so heartwarming and I'm always sad when an episode ends.

Blaze, that's wisdom right there. You're right. Celebrating life's beautiful moments, big and small, keeps your heart, mind, and soul healthy. 💜

I’m commenting on this even before watching because I know I’ll love your reactions/comments to the documentary. Your sincerity and kindheartedness always shine through and I always love watching your vids… am so excited to watch this episode together with you guys.. let’s get it!! 💜

I'm so glad you guys are watching these. I need bts to perform attack on bangtan again .😍

Ikr ajj this series really feels like it fills in any left over cracks no matter how far down the rabbit hole you are! Kinda like sets the scene or puts a backdrop to eras and moments you know happened in their journey but never got all the little details to.

Come One!!!🤗 Cada Episodio de "The Rise Of Bangtan" me conmueve mucho, mis amores hermosos han logrado mucho, los amo tanto🥰💜!!!!!

Proof RM is a gentleman & a scholar to listen to and follow in example. In the heat, he said if that's how you feel, feel that way. Fire difus ed and he is the only Man standing. Well, besides Suga and everyone present that wanted to smack that mouth upside the head.

Ugh, this is SOOO good! I love the editing and the storytelling! This kind of behind the scenes footage is nice to see! I'm getting some nuggets that I didn't know about BTS, and Korean culture as well. Seeing how tough it is to make it, and how hard they've had to work just solidifies my love for them, and my being an ARMY! They've brought so much love and light into the world these last 9 years, but most importantly, they've inspired and given hope to the Korean youth who are under so much pressure for perfection. I'm sure BTS didn't debut knowing they'd change the world, but they have in many ways, and they'll be forever loved for their presence...

Been waiting for this, yay! Calling out the greatest fandom ever #BTSARMY and show love to our 7 Kings. BUTTER THE GAP ARMY! Stream #BTS_Butter in all music platforms! The Billboard's Hot Trending Song by #BTS

Gracias WhatchaGot2Say por tus reacciones a los vídeos de BTS, me la paso Increíble con ustedes, son tan sinceros, son geniales, increíbles, me alegran mis días😂😂😂💜💜💜!!!

I like it, I love it, I want more of it! This is such an amazing series. It's so well done. The editing is so dang good! Aneesa is a puppet master of our emotions. Respect to her. And watching it with you three is the absolute best! I feel like we are on this amazing ride together! That clip where "BFree" & his no clout crew spew their toxic masculinity/gate keeping all over RM & SUGA gets my blood boiling every time too! But the rest is pure joy, especially during the montage where "Attack on Bangtan " is played & where they read aloud their heart-felt letters to ARMY'S. They are so genuine, sweet, funny, cool, generous, hard working, humble & talented! How can anyone NOT love them all?! Lol I love you all too! BORAHAE Blaze Nico & AJJ!💜💜💜👑👑👑 BORAHAE Aneesa!💜🙏🏼 BORAHAE ARMY!💜🤟 BORAHAE BTS! OT7 4EVA! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🇰🇷

Sofrendo sem legenda em português!!! 😬🤣🤣... Mesmo não entendendo, o que dizem, sinto o carinho, a atenção e o respeito que vocês têm pelos meninos, por isso, curto, compartilho e comento... Vocês são uns queridos... 🥰❤️🇧🇷

This series is fantastic! You’re going to love it more with each episode. Love you guys

I'm always up for the Rise Of Bangtan series and yes, I'll "watch it 'til the ee-end" 😜

I loved all you all's comments. Today, Blaze was the Philosophy King, thank you so much, I learned a bit. ❤🙏🏽❤

all i can say is THANK YOU TO THE ORIGINAL ARMIES WHO WERE THERE FROM START. Thank you for being there for the boys when they needed you or us the most. You are the reason why they are who they are today ,without you things could have turned out different. THANK YOU TO BTS FOR YOUR DETERMINATION,PERSEVERANCE, PATIENCE..DETERMINATION AND HARD WORK. THANK YOU WATCHAFAM FOR THE REACTION 💜💜💜💜

Maravilha vcs estarem vendo este documentário do BTS. Adoro seus comentários!

Rise of Bangtan edit is amazing. Made me feel all sort of ways but mainly love for our boys. They are genuine and that is hard to find these days. I’m so glad you liked it. Proud ARMY for life here. Shout out to you guys! Your reaction videos make me feel like I am with my like minded friends fan-girling/boying and it’s so much fun! More power!

BTS literally inspires everyone so much and I've never been more proud. The way they bring people together and write songs based on their true feelings and effort, is the reason I got N.O lyrics tattooed on me. I got "Don't be trapped in someone else's dream" over my heart. No regrets. I'm forever gonna be grateful for them and I hope they will always continue to shine and bring more people together

I LOVE THIS DOCUMENTARY SO MUCH. AND U GUYS REACTING TO IT IS EVEN BETTER. PLS REACT MORE😭

I've already watched this series but I dont mind watching it again with you guys. your reactions always give me insights. looking forward for your next reactions

"Jealous and envy live in the same spring." Preach!

I am fortunate enough to have met the great girl Aneesa who created the Rise of Bangtan documentaries back in Vegas when we attended the PTS concerts. We spent all afternoon talking about her work and she is extremely passionate ans talented. She is a film editor by trade and she put her ❤️ and soul into all her documentaries. A TRUE BTS ARMY 💜

These series is seriously a masterpiece. I really dont mind watch it over and over again. Like, the tears even still there everytime it hits. Just be prepare for the next eps, because the level of tears increase more and more. The highest appreciation for the creator to give this vid for free to us is pure ARMY behavior. The amount of effort they put to entertain yet educate us about BTS is award-winning. We couldn't even thank them more.. Huge appreciation!

A big thanks to Army Aneesa for making this (THE RISE OF BANGTAN)..She's put her blood,sweat and tears here for us Army to get to know more about our lovely boys.and as i've already finished watching all the chapter,my love and admiration for our lovely boys is much deeper and since I'm at the dawn of my life their music will be my companion till my ears can't hear no more and till my eyes can't see no more..I'm so happy I've found them. BTS ARE HEALERS BTS ARE LEGENDS 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I love it...not to skip a bit... all the genuine reaction .. i appreciate you all... I must also admit that some of the clip that were explained was new to me.. like the meaning of N.O... I did'nt know.. it holds deep meaning.. by the way.. you're asking about the last clips.. you can try watching rookie king... you will see bangtan playing games from their early days... it will be fun.. just like bangtan gayo and Run BTS... 💜💜💜 I can't wait for chapter 4

I’m enjoying watching your reactions to this series. I’m also so proud how far you guys have come and stayed true to your reactions and yourselves. I’ve been with you since almost the beginning and it’s just amazing how far you guys have come. Of course love watching your Patreon as well. BTS and ARMY have come a very long way including in our personal lives . Let continue FIGHTING💜💜💜

When RM sang" IDOL" that was his answer,.

I could rewatch rise of bangtan over and over it gives a better perspective of what they actually went thru and it also shows their growth as the episodes go on

I'm so proud of SUGA and RM for taking the high road, and not going off on them. They didn't buy into it, or take the bait. That was a smear campaign, and it didn't work. They were professional and represented BTS and their company well. I wish they could have let them know just what they thought and how they felt, but it wasn't going to do any good because BFree wasn't listening. That's okay because Karma is an ARMY, and BFree got what he deserved.

I cried when one of your pointed out that you need to celebrate everything no matter how small if it's on the way to a goal that you're trying to reach that it's important to celebrate it and remember how you feel . Evidently that hit something nerve for me because I just burst out crying ! I really appreciate you guys in your Reflections and feedback on watching this doctor series which is so fabulous.

"Jealousy and envy live in the same spring"!!!! That was a gem of knowledge right there! Couldn't stop thinking about that saying the whole time I finished watching the rest of the video. Nico, @23:20 you better speak on it!!! People that speak on how Hip Hop is "suppose" to be don't know it's history and the roots of the genre.

Always with you guys! 💜💜💜💜

I am so proud and inspired by their accomplishments. Not only as artists, but also as men. The amount of emotional trauma they had to go through at such young age is crazy. But they chose to become better, stronger and beckons of lights. I am old enough to be their mother, but I look up to them for inspiration and a boost when I am feeling blue. And I know that they are far from being done with their mission on Earth. God bless them.

Honestly I’ve been a fan since 2014 and they’re my ult group too. I don’t I was ever a huge fan of an artist as I am with BTS. Their music & messages behind it is what first caught my attention & then their personalities. They truly have helped me in some hard times in my life and I’m always grateful to have found them and become an AMRY 💜💜💜

I have never seen or heard of a group put so much into their love for their fans and I am 42 years old! They have a great love for what they do but the way they give themselves for us not them blows my mind! These boys deserve where they are and so much more! They are doing so much more for others than I think they realize. Few years back my daughter is in a dark place. She hated herself because that is what others burnt into her head. I would pray every night to just see a smile on her face once again. I was losing her. Then she found this group of angels and for the first time in 2 years I seen light in her. She laughed and smiled more. She began to love herself! I got my baby girl back! And I am certain my daughter is not the only one they have saved! With them it isn’t just how great they sing and perform but also how they hold each and every fan in their hearts! I just love this group of boys!!!!!

The power of words!!! It is amazing how every thing they promised and wished for, has come true and more. L💜

25:32 that’s where “You can call me Artist, you can call me IDOL” was born… I think!

I' Ve seen so many comebacks and debuts its ridiculous. Watching this is so nostalgic.

Rise of Bangtan is by far the BEST put together docu-series I have ever seen. Very in depth, entertaining and interesting!! Hats off to the creators!! Love watching you react to this. I have already watched it and am patiently waiting for the last installment, but am thoroughly enjoying watching it again with y'all.

I'm cryin again, they deserve all the best of the universe

I really like the fact you are just now watching this series. I think after being ARMY for as long as you guys have.. you have that much more appreciation and respect from their beginning till now. I feel like sometimes people watch this series to early in their BTS journey that they miss a lot or don't understand certain circumstances. Glad you guys are loving this can't wait for you to continue. 💜💜

blaze is ablaze with his insights & instincts. your love is infectious for BTS-brains, which can lead to more immediate effects for all of us to digest. Thanks again to watcher fam I feel like I have a grand place to connect. rock on boys, your true love shines ever so brightly- every day & nightly.

the amount of goosebumps i got throughout this episode is just incredible wooowwwww.....

Yall! Once again, I love watching yall reacting to ANYTHING BTS related...it's always fun to rewatch things I may have already seen with you guys because it truly feels like I have ARMY friends. I agree with you Nico, it gives me goosebumps too because you can FEEL the genuine emotions that were coming from the guys. Blaze, droppin that quote, "jealousy and envy live in the same spring"...bruh...sounding much like a masterful lyric our guys would have said off the cuff! And very true! AJJ, I had the same flashback as you about you wanting to find that Bangtan Burger lol and also how upset you got at that clip with BF...and just checking out for a second and missing the next few words in the interview that you needed to rewind...same bro, same. Felt that. RM and Suga held it down in that interview, and we gotta remember how young they were at this time! The stats in the video are true, the pressures on the youth are so high in Korea...I used to always say that if I had gone to school in Korea, I definitely would have been part of those statistics, because I am nowhere near the level that society deems to be appropriate. I was so happy to know BTS recognized this problem and also the issue of mental health not being a "real thing"...even as a 1st generation Korean American, when I was diagnosed with MDD and Anxiety...and told some of my family, they reacted as if that is a Western notion and an excuse for not performing at a high level...which only deepened the dark place I live in. I was at one of my lows when BTS came on the scene...as corny as it is...their music somewhat helps me and may have saved me a time or two from just removing myself so as not to feel like a disappointment or burden to the world. Years later, even to this day...I have dark and bad days, and I'll have full blown crying sessions while blasting some BTS and really listening to the lyrics. I'm a work in progress...I think we all are...you never know what is going on in someone's mind or in their hearts, what storms they are trying to navigate through...so I try to be a kinder person as the years have gone by. I truly feel that Bangtan play a key role in that new mindset. I commend these 7 men for breaking barriers, being a voice for so many, and spreading awareness of issues that too many want to pretend isn't there. All while going through so much within themselves and their team, yet putting ARMY first and always thinking of us and thanking us. They've changed in the best ways, like believing more in themselves or being less shy and embracing their strengths...and they have NOT changed in the best ways, by always being humble and grateful kings and always working hard for what they love...their music, their label, ARMY, their families, and one another. Big thanks to you three for sharing another video with us. I appreciate yalls commentary and thoughts on whatever is the topic for the video. I love that you give appreciation back to the creators of any documentary or compilations or shoot even tik toks! Yall always say such nice things about the time and dedication that someone else put in to create something. Yall are also much appreciated and applauded for your time and efforts! Hope yall have a nice day. And to everyone who took the time to read this novel (sorry)...Stay Gold. L💜

Thank you for sharing these and for your genuine reactions! I only found BTS in May 2021 and watching these episodes makes me even more proud of BTS. I'm like a proud grandma to these young men! They have truly touched my heart and they're in there to stay! Thanks again!

I'm so proud of BTS.. I have been a fan since the beginning. I'm 52 year old mother of 2 girls. Myself and my youngest daughter 17, are ARMY. 💜👍

BTS came into my life in 2016 and I really needed their love they remain deeply imbedded in my heart and life everyday. I’m a proud ARMY

omg I love y’all so much. like y’all are amazing. thank you for the reactions!!🤍💜

After watching this I would love to see all of their songs get a billion likes!! It would be great to show everyone that they are the group for decades! GO BTS! Standing behind you 100%

BTS still say “we’ll work hard” really often ! So much respect for them 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I'm looking forward to watch the next episode with y'all. And thank you Blaze for reminding me to always celebrate each step I take. I'm feeling stuck at where I am right now and I realized that I might have felt like that because I forgot to pause, look back and celebrate where I am now. Thank you everyone for sharing this reaction and until the next one. L💜

Thank you so much! I just started watching your reaction to The Rise of Bangtan Chapter 1! 😊 really love your reactions and to see how much you admire the boys and letting out your thoughts while watching the video, I really appreciate that. You guys are really my favorite channel, Fighting!!! 💜💜

i really like how this video is highlight the song N.O.! as they're exploring the heaviness of academics and the stress and weight of it on students. This song was made when most of BTS members would've gone through the same amount of stress if they didn't become idols. In a sense, this is the song they are singing to themselves and everyone else that has to go through that stress. BTS really grow up with you and you grow up with BTS and their songs too. The cycle, the connection, that is so real it's very intuitive for BTS to sing what the people, literally of their age, is going through. I feel like the school trilogy era is often underrated as a trilogy, as an era, but this era was probably the most important in terms of growth in children and BTS themselves. All the other eras were great in terms of growth as well, and it really got a lot more philosophical as time went on, but the school trilogy was something extreme and real to Korean teenagers. So much respect, so much love.

I wish we can also watch the deleted scenes and bonus clips here.

Today is my birthday. Just want to thank you for loving and covering BTS. You are so devoted and eager to report your true thoughts.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LOVING AND DEFENDING OUR GUYS!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Blaaaaze!!! Love your comments in these episodes about how you teach your kids about life and the world. You are a great dad and so kind and gentle, and your kids are so lucky. ❤❤❤

That was bullseye right there (20:14), Blaze, Sir. Jealousy happens when someone holds fiercely to their fragile self-identity because they perceive something as a threat that has the capacity to take them away from their place. Envy happens when they secretly desire what the other person has but balk at the work that entails achieving that that other person has.

Your intros are the best the only ones that I don't skip. BTS will always do their best and we as army will also promise to always do our best. I hope you guys can do this FULL TIME I really enjoy your videos. This series has actually got me to cry, laugh, get angry and I'm lovin it.

i knew it. your reactions is soooo 😭😭 idk how to describe everything. i really appreciate you guys so much! thank you so much! you always made my day! 💜 can't wait to the chapter 4 🥺💜

Us armys are incredibly lucky to see the guys not hiding everything. We get to see their emotions, happy, sad, whatever. No we dont see everything. But we see so much of their world. We are part of their world. Im so thankful that theyre not perfect. Because theyre perfect in their imperfections.

Im crying happy tears 🥲 You 3 are the best :) Army is the Best! Glad to be part of this!

These documentaries ghelped me so much when I started to take an interest into the group ! So well down, I'm not surprised you like them so much !

This documentary it’s a masterpiece 💜🤩 I just love it the first 7 episodes always makes me cry how hard they have work and everything they have gone through. 💜💜

The docu in itself is so much good to watch but watching you react to it doubles the joy of watching it again. Blaze, I loved what you said “celebrate every step”. You guys anong BangtanTv is what keeps me in youtube. And Nico, I love yhe shirt!! I want to have one. Thank you fam for this.

I'm so glad the Army in Korea showed their support to BTS because if they didn't BTS would not of been shared with the rest of the world and I would have never known the joy of BTS I have now. THANK YOU ARMY!!!!!!!!

Great reactions. It doesn't matter how many times I have watched each episode already I will definitely rewatch each one with you. TRoB series are really the best fan made docu-series ever made. I appreciate all your commentaries today. One thing really stuck out to me was what Blaze said about celebrating every step to help moving on to the next one. It's a very good advice. Thanks you guys for loving our boys and being a part of the ARMY.

I think everyone can loudly say that we are PROUD ARMYs....so BTS you've succeeded in your first goal after debut. In fact, you knocked that ball out of the park! Watching the vlogs and seeing them so raw and connecting with us on a personal level is what BTS is all about. They aren't traditional idols who are placed on pedestals and revered, instead they wake up and connected with who we are so it feels more like they are one of us rather than an unattainable star in the sky (which they totally are but the most humble stars!!) BTS FIGHTING!!!

This docuSeries is by far the best I've ever seen! Aneesa and her team have done an excellent job in creating these videos! 💜 I've already watched this series and yet I'm watching it again with you. Super love your reactions and how you expressed your thoughts/realizations, not just about BTS but even about life in general. You nice, keep going! 💜🎉

I absolutely loved that moment of introspection by RM during his diary video about him being categorized as an artist or idol etc. You could really see that moments like that really fueled and inspired so many of his lyrics and songs. He and the boys were so resilient whenever they were being criticized and the result of those experiences were creating outstanding music.

I’ve watched this episode before and I’m still over here bawling my eyes out. The love that they have for us is everything.

You guys reacting to this series is my new favorite pass time! I love love LOVE how ingrained you are into this fandom already. Like everytime BTS does their 'Dul set Bangtan sonyeondan imnida' Blaze unconsciously bows his head with them😂 And every time you talk about army, AJJ says 'us' and not 'you guys' or 'army'. And the way you GET why we can't stand B free. Seeing you guys fall slowly in love with BTS has been an amazing journey and you are the only reactors I see the reactions of again and again. Love you fam💜
