I would argue, since many fake reactors ou there have over 50k views and more likes than dislikes:)

This is my take on the song seeing BTS as performers. In their documentaries/vids you’ll see them perform on the verge of collapse and fainting. A lot of them have chronic injuries you’d only see in people twice their age, like muscle seizures, neck, knee and back pain etc… but you would never be able to tell once they’re onstage. So when they say “Bring the pain on” they literally mean it. 
On this album they mentioned they wanted to be more raw and honest with their fans so while its nice being the biggest & most in-demand group in the world, there’s also the pressure and burden that comes along with it. A lot of singers succumb to it as you see with a lot of tragic stories in history. They even said they thought about disbanding at the height of their career (late 2018) but decided to stick together for their fans. 
So when they say “find me and im gonna live with ya” they’re talking about making the choice to accept that weight, the love and the hate, the shadows, the pain, the literal blood, sweat and tears it takes to prove themselves on stage every day. p.s- even the 1st line “I can’t understand what people are saying” is blatantly honest because you will see these boys having to promote and network in a foreign country with a language that is not their 1st… on youtube you can see it makes for some funny times.. but I bet it’s confusing, disconcerting and scary for the most part. You got some deep thoughts though- very open-minded too.You're doing great

i just wanna say that i really appreciate that you’re pausing and rewinding often! some reactors try not to because it makes their videos longer but we like seeing reactions to the whole thing: the music, the video, the lyrics. if that’s what helps a reactor to grasp everything better, i’d rather watch a longer video of someone really trying to understand and appreciate what’s going on than a quick video with little reaction. so thank you & don’t feel bad for it!

ABOUT THAT CHOREOGRAPHY... Because BTS are a group of young geniuses, they like to work with other young geniuses. Did you notice the young woman front and center at the very beginning? She is 19 year-old Sienna Lalau, and she is the person who choreographed this performance. The other dancers are part of her award-winning hip hop crew The Lab, from Los Angeles. This is the THIRD performance she choreographed for BTS. At age 18 she created the prop choreography for 'Dionysus', one their most iconic stage productions ever. She also did choreo for J-Hope's solo song 'Chicken Noodle Soup'. You are totally correct about the theme of this song. In their new album series, this song comes after they learned to integrate the shadow that was still 'doing its own thang' in Black Swan, causing problems. The band they hired for the studio recording were the UCLA Bruins marching and jazz bands, and the one in the video is the Blue Devils bugle corps.

I agree, even though BTS are now world wide they remain humble and absolutely adore their fans.

The Shadow is the internal force that holds us back while also supporting us. It's part of the theory of Dr Carl Jung, including Persona, Shadow and Ego. That's what this album and the previous album are about: recognizing what we are made of, reconciling what we are made of, what we present to the world and who we really are. Their lyrics are usually deep, or as RM (the team leader once described them) 'socially significant'. Black Swan, which you already watched, presents this theme as well. You might consider watching the three videos Persona, Shadow and Ego, with subtitles on.

I agree, he's cute as a button as far as his politeness. He is easy to look at, as well 😉

Bighit, their label, was started with a goal and a purpose. They wanted to change the game in K-Pop, and they have succeeded. Ironically, changing the game meant returning to K-Pop's roots as socially progressive protest music. In the beginning there was Seo Tai-ji and Boys. They 'invented' K-Pop, and it was edgy, controversial and political. They were even banned for a minute. Then Kpop became a commodity - packaged, reproduced, mass marketed, formulated. A group called Bigbang came along and re-infused the scene with more innovation and edginess. They are still massively popular, despite losing a member to one of the biggest scandals in Korean entertainment history. Now BTS is subverting the paradigm. They're doing such a good job of bringing controversy and social issues back that Seo Tai-ji (pronounced "sah teh jee"), the founding father of K-pop, officially passed the torch to them during his 25th anniversary show. Imagine Metallica crowning a new metal king and letting them add a new guitar solo to 'Enter Sandman'. Seo Tai-ji brought BTS on stage and let them add verses to some of his most iconic songs. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZqCDspOmiK_MaNI.html If you watch this clip of BTS with Seo Tai-ji performing 'Classroom Idea', you'll get a good idea of what K-Pop really is. BTS and Kpop as a whole are so much more than boy and girl groups. People who don't know what the song is about complained because the costumes appear to be "nazi cosplay". This KZreadr added translations, and explains how it is just the opposite. It's gonna blow your mind, and I think give you a deep appreciation for BTS on a level most of their American fans don't even have.

This is a fantastic explanation. Very educated. But the pronunciation of Seo Taiji is not necessarily that. As a linguistic major who understands how to read APA, the phonetic alphabet, the Korean alphabet is different but with the same concept. It's difficult for me to explain with simple letters. If you and everyone knew APA, it would be easy to show you and explain LOL. But sah and teh are not exactly correct pronunciations.

@JoobieLoobieSoobie

4 жыл бұрын

Luscious Angel yes, you are correct. In reality there are no equivalents because English vowels and Korean vowels are sort of halfway between each other. The sound made by 어 isn’t “ah” or “oh” but in between them. This is also true with the consonants. For example the sound for letter ㄱ is sort of “in between” English k and g. That’s the best way I can describe it. But instead of writing another two paragraphs, I just offered an easy option. A brief side note about why Tai-ji is spelled in English with ‘ai’ and not “correctly” with ‘ae’. The Korean government changed the romanization rules in 2000. If a birth certificate/passport/etc displays a romanized spelling from the old system, it doesn't change. That’s why the name ‘태지’ isn’t spelled ‘Tae-ji’ and why ‘정국’ is spelled Jungkook instead of the “correct” ‘Jeong-kook’ in English. Taiji and Jungkook used to be the correct way to romanize their names. To prevent confusion with identity, romanized names are not allowed to be changed. People can still use the old system for names, but once they pick a Roman spelling, they have to keep it. So we will still see Young instead of Yeong sometimes, and Lee or Li instead even though the name is just I.

BTS will for sure give you views as you probably are finding out in a big way. Sending a shout out to giving a new genre a chance and to just ask you to stay genuine. Lots of people discover BTS and are not real fans but the views push them into reacting disingenuously. We will know. I hope you continue to enjoy the boys and their hard work as their music portfolio is very diverse and their work ethic is one that is not seen much these days. As you saw, Army is in fact an army and we are not just the little teen age girls who swoon over their adorableness, (I am an older woman who swoons over their adorableness, lol) many are older men and women, seniors, as well as every nationality in the world.

In this Map of the soul 7 album, one of the themes is Carl Jungs theories and there shadow is your fears and the sides of you that you dont notice or that you surpress, are embarrassed about.

So this song is the lead single off their new album Map of the Soul 7 its already sold over 5 million physical albums over 4 million were pre ordered before we heard anything. This song and the album is about the struggle they went through to get to where they are now and how they have resolved the negatives and want to carry on pushing through and BTS have struggled to get where they are. I recommend you watch BTS from Nobodies to Legends either 1 or 2 will give you some idea of where they come from. Their stage outifts are expensive as Jimin tore his pants from dancing so hard in this Mv and apparently they cost around $5800 at that price they should hold together better lol. The guys themselves are very humble and dress just like you or me in real life except maybe better brand names. Some of them spend a bit more on clothes some less its all about dressing in their own style and they all have a different style. They unlike most K-pop artists write or have a hand in producing almost all their songs. Their company encouraged them from the start to tell their own stories about things that impact them and to begin with people didnt like it but the K- ARMY (their Korean fans) supported them and promoted them through social media etc so we in the west I-ARMY were able to find them and enjoy their music. The demographic of fans is amazing 25% are male 75% female. Of the 75% of that number the biggest group are the 40 to 49 yr olds and i fall into the smallest group the 50+ age group. Their message and deep lyrics are what attract most BTS fans as even when a song seems to be a love song it normally is about a deeper meaning . They promote self love and self acceptance and also try to help people with issues such as mental health and the pressure from school and studying etc.

Yes, they are headquartered in Concord, California, and yes, they march, but there is a huge difference between a marching band and a D&B Corps. A band using all sorts of instruments and is affiliated with a school/college. A D&B Corps uses only drums, brass instruments, and color guard components. And they are entertainers who actually tour. They have a "season" where the travel around and perform and compete. It's more like the NFL or NBA of marching than just a "band." Their members are sort of affiliated with UCLA in that many of them went to school there, but the Corps itself is a separate entity.

yes you must watch that one!!

Drones were used for the shots that you were talking about. This, Black Swan MV, and ON official MV were all filmed in LA. The Blue Devils Drum Corps and UCLA marching band were used. You should watch the making of video. Very interesting.

SAME!! As someone who has watched a lot of anime, it really wasn´t difficult getting into k-pop. I always feel kinda at an advantage when I see others reacting to k-pop for the first time and they are not able to do both at the same time.

I would suggest Fake Love MV because it has great visuals that looks like CGI but isn't.

The reason this song has such a great meaning is because they HAVE been through it. They were treated like trash their whole careers and they know what that “pain” they keep mentioning is like. But they’ve overcome that. And it’s because they’ve overcome all the mistreatment and hate that they can now stand tall and say, “Bring it on. Bring the pain. It has no power over me anymore.” They now use it as fuel and as motivation to prove their haters wrong and to set an example for all their fans. They’ve shown that you can truly become stronger from hardships and suffering. Which is what they want to share with the world. This song is one of victory over a war they’ve already won. There’s no stopping them now.

We keep tracks on new baby Army♥️ Most of us keep our eyes on new people reacting to BTS to help them explore the real BTS we know.

The “find me and I’m gonna live with you/ bleed with you” part, what I think it means is they’re calling all the hardships and struggles to come at them cuz they’ll deal with them/ they can take them on.

If you react with honesty, curiosity, and respect to BTS, you will get so much respect and following in return. Thank you for being interested in our 7 wonderful men. I have enjoyed watching your reactions! You will find with time that they are truly humble and incredible artists. Their lyrics will really touch you and make you think.

"They do both, y'know they don't put up with the bs and they kinda do their own thing-" Me: *flashbacks to Jungkook and Jin dying their own hair without permission and the 2018 festa party*

Love how you break the lyrics down, not many ppl do that. Hope you react to more!

one of the things that draws armies in is when they start to learn each members personalities, and hoe they continue to grow as people and artist but are still able to stay so humble and down to earth

This quarantine has got me missing my BTS videos. No concerts mean no live performance recordings to watch. I'm 48 and can't get enough of them.

I reaaally like your sincerity and the way you tried to get the message behind :) Actually i would recommend to watch the BTS ‘ON’ Commentary Film: Dialogue. My gut feeling tells me that you will like it ^^

I'm a huge marching band nerd so this song made me so happy. Basically the instruments in this song were recorded by the UCLA marching band which is so awesome to let college students work on such a big track that could possibly win them awards. Also the band in the video is the Blue Devils Drum Corp. Drum Corps are professional marching bands that you can join at 16 and compete all around the country until the championship which is held in my home state of Indiana. I did a program for 2 years in middle school where I got to perform the opening for the competition so to now see these worlds mix and bringing awareness to Drum Corps is so amazing.

ARMY is not insane or obsessed. We are PASSIONATE. The more you watch and learn the more you will get the WHY! BTS has a message which is complex, meaningful, detailed, thoughtful and they give us everything we could ask for. Their generosity is incredible. Happy to see u getting a kick out of us (ARMY). LoL We are all genders, ages, nationalities, with just 7 things in common: RM, Jin, Suga, JHope, Jimin, TaeHyung, and JungKook. U nice...keep going!

never apologize for rewinding and looking more deeply into things, we LOVE it

We like it when people pause and take the time to understand what they’re saying. Realized myself I hadn’t really absorbed JHope’s verse and now I think it’s my favourite. :D

Their music, especially this Era of Map of The Soul is based off Carl Jung’s Theory of the Map of The Soul. Our constant struggle between our Ego, Shadow, and Persona (I also think Id is included but I haven’t gotten that far into my psychology yet). You mention that (with any artist) there will be a time they struggle to “live in both worlds” that one will have to face a status quo about who they should be. I know you’ve reacted to their crash course, I’m kinda just going bid by vid lol, RM the leader who speaks English the most fluently, had a stage name with the initials RM, and during his time with BTS he changed his stage name to represent “Real Me” and said that he is a person who will ask this question “who am I?” And his life goal is to find this answer. To do this he strives for individuation which by Jungian analysis is in simple bringing together all your experiences on all levels to recognize yourself. To truly know yourself. Sorry for the long paragraph haha Some of this stuff doesn’t get covered in explanation videos. I just think it’s cool how three years ago in psych 101 I could’ve cared less about this subject that was covered so briefly by the teacher but after watching and listening and learning with BTS I have a newfound appreciation for this. Because we , ARMY and BTS are learning together, from each other. Like you said we feed off each other and it’s a great feeling to meet like minded individuals aRMY be that symbiotic relationship yooooo xD

You definitely have potential to be a army theorist 😅 it's their lyrics that mostly made me love them, penned by the members themselves , so really authentic , listen to beside tracks from old albums as well , you will be amazed

(my thoughts) the shadow they are talking about is more their own struggles, fears maybe deficits they see in themselves (others probably already told you that the album is inspired by Jung's psychology and so the Shadow is symbol for these things), they are not blaming anyone but saying they can't run away from these things (it's them after all) so they'll go and explore these "bad" things and come out more mature/understanding

Unlike some other kpop groups, BTS definitely has more freedom to creativity, producing, writing, composing than most kpop groups do. I’m not saying other groups don’t do the same but their freedom to do those aren’t the same compared to BTS. Most of the members have participated in producing, writing or composing, notably the rappers (rap line) of BTS. While they do have in house producers at their label, much of their writing and producing gets put into the music!

Army love those people who gives genuine and honest reactions with them. Also tge way you appreciate everything is highly appreciated.

What can I say. We love bangtan. I love people who appreciate them. And we like to relive the rabbit hole 🥺💜

Omg you're getting everything so quickly! I can see you're really interested in the message and you're willing to let the stereotypes about boybands and industries fall down when it comes to this group. Yeah to be honest it is true that in boybands their labels control a lot of what they do (especially in south korea), and that's a widespread idea, but the reality with bts is just different and it's okay to believe that. I'm glad you're letting yourself be educated and positive about this whole thing, you're really open minded and i hope you can keep enjoying this amazing journey you've just embarked yourself in

Yes, we Armys will show you with love because we love BTS so, so, so, much. Thank you so much for your amazing comments.

"WONDER HOW MUCH THE JACKET COSTS" A LOTS.. THE ALL 7 MEMBERS WERE WEARING RICK OWENS COLLECTIONS...ONE OF THE MEMBER IF U GOOGLE GUCCI KING, HE WILL BE FIRST ONE POP UP

I appreciate how you watched twice, once to get the visuals and second time to focus on the lyrics. I’m subscribing because I am interested to watch as you continue this journey. I’m 44 and have never stanned a group before but the music, the message, the guys themselves just completely drew me in. Have fun with it and be truthful with how you feel. If you don’t like something, we don’t get mad if there’s a reason. Others have reacted and decided before hand they won’t like it and it was very obvious during their video. It’s aggravating because it’s closed minded and one thing you will learn about the guys is that they are an inclusive bunch of guys so close mindedness goes against what they stand for. Good luck and looking forward to watching your next reaction.

I am just loving the fact the more and more people are getting to know them 💜 and thats because their hardwork, talent and ARMY 💜 i love the fact that ARMYs are showing love to everybody who is sincerely interested in Bts💜

What is really cool is that the UCLA Marching band actually did the band portion of the music.

I like honest reactions from first timers. BTS does that thing to you. With their visuals, music, lyrics, concept, and personality bring you in and make you their own. Soon you'll be calling yourself BTS ARMY.

I can't wait for him to fall down the BTS rabbit hole... Love it!! 😍

I really like that you take the time to interpret their music. That is the most important bit about bts. That each of their songs has a message for people that want to understand it. So i dont mind at all that you may have to pause a rewind a couple times to get the full gist of things. Thank you for reacting to them!

"I wonder how much that jacket costs" .....sir....you don't wanna know. If jimins pants (the one in all white with blue hair) are 5.8k then I cant even IMAGINE the price of that jacket Breaks my heart too that jimin ripped those pants during this 😰

BTS have been through hell and back together. I suggest watching BTS:From Nobodies to Legends 2019 version. They were treated horribly by the K-pop industry and by other K-pop fans (who treated ARMYs, the BTS fandom horribly too), just because they were poor and from a small, unknown label. Now, BTS is seen more as its own genre rather than K-pop, because while they do K-pop, they have a unique sound and have experimented with so many genres and styles that simply cannot be categorized into just K-pop. Plus, BTS' lyricism and storyline took a path pretty much unknown in K-pop. When they sing about bringing the pain on, they're saying they don't care about what they have to face anymore. It's been 7 years of struggling and they can take it now. They accept all the troubles that arise because they've got people who love them, and a job they love. They're calling pain to find them so they can bleed, and rise up further, as they've always done.

Finally, a good use for drones. Their agency, producers, camera guys, etc. blow my mind every time. The sound engineers, background vocals, instruments (including marching band) were by UCLA Music Dept and it's director. I may have some of that mixed up, but there is a commentary, more like a short documentary, about the their working with BTS. The choreographer is 19 years old (middle position, opening scene). How do they find all this talent? Why aren't I 17 and agile?

We love a new person falling into the army rabbit hole. Welcome. We're all hot messes, and enjoy the ride ❤

The last three videos were made in LA. The LA theater is an historical landmark in LA that's been used in other movie sets. The set for this was a water project site in LA and the 'ON' MV is also in LA... There are behind the scenes videos for each one on KZread. Plus a short documentary on this about the use of the UCLA marching band and more ('Dialogue). Enjoy.

'I'd be tripping over my feet. Right into my buds' i laughed so hard i had to pause the video because SAME.

Oh man....You weren't aware of what Army can do...biggest fandom worldwide..., enjoy your journey with our boys and we're here to help you, but i have to warn you..you have A LOT to catch up! Pls be kind and respect our boys, thank u!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

haha we really love BTS that's why 😅. The music is great, the lyrics are meaningfull, the performances are cool and members are kind & thoughtful. Can't talk on behalf of anyone else but I just think they are once in a lifetime pop artists (at least in kpop). they have crazy energy for their stuff lol

I really appreciate your genuine reactions. Shadow represents the bad side of oneself incase you’re still confused. So the two worlds they’re talking about here is the face they show outside(persona) as well as their true self which has a dark side in them(shadow).

Hello I'm Cathy from DownUnder Australia!! Been a BTS fan since Jan2018 watching MICDROP REMIX was all it took. My daughter who is 26 now got me into them. My life has never been the same since. Their music and talent moves me like I'm still living my clubbin 90s hip hop and RnB days. Haha, I'm 55 now and I have a little obsession to watching reactors wanting to get to know BTS so as JIMIN would say "YOU'RE NICE KEEP GOING"!! Thank you xx

"ON," according to the group, is a reflection of the group's 2013 single, "N.O, they used marching band and some talented amazing dancers from LA LAB'S. Jimin, Jungkook, and Jin talk about living with both their past selves and their current selves. While they might still have reservations about the future, likely due to the fact that anything can change overnight, they still are determined to fight for their success and put everything on the line. "Having woken from sleep and opened my eyes, I wonder where "here" is / Perhaps Seoul, or New York or Paris / Having gotten up, my body sways." While BTS are now in their 20s and no longer necessarily feeling the weight of academic pressure or that of the adults in charge on their shoulders, they describe a foe that, in many ways, is much more threatening: themselves. In these first lines of "ON," the group acknowledges being wrapped up in the glamour of waking up "in Seoul, or New York or Paris," and that with every leap they take to rise higher in recognition, the demons follow ("When I lift one foot, the shadow grows one step larger"). Fans might recall a poem Suga wrote in a 2018 episode of the band's reality series, Run BTS!, that reads: "It is true that the more light that burns upon us, the more shadows appear."

I heard a really good impression on this "find me and Im going to bleed with you".... If you want to be with me find me and Im going to bleed with you (fight together with you) or if you don't like me "find me and I'm going to bleed with you" If you don't like me find me and will bleed together, "because you know I'm a fighter." IF you listen to their entire album "7" you will see that each of them has learned to live with both the BS and with having their outward appearance that they have to hold up before everyone. Also be aware that both Suga and RM are producing the sound and also writing the lyrics along with others. Man I want to finish and then you say something and I have to answer they were in LA river dam.

The whole album is based of the book “jungs map of the soul” btw :)

The Shadow is all they being thru to get where they are at and still they will go thru Shadow, but now they are says bring the pain, the haters, the suffering and no matter what they will continue singing, composing, dancing and nobody are going to stop them.

We love BTS so much that when someone shows an interest in them, we feel happy and proud to share our passion.

13:15 their 2 recent albums (map of the soul: persona & 7) cover that topic thoroughly. the song Persona is about the image that they are trying to uphold and how to know who you are within that. Shadow is about the darkness that they feel they have to hide behind the image, but not letting it overcome you (this also relates to the Black Swan music video). Ego and ON are about embracing both sides ("I throw myself into both worlds"), and being themselves as well as maintaining their image, but also making their image match who they really are.

These guys are extremely genuine. Yes, they tend to conceal their pain and insecurities, but they don’t deny they exist. They let their personalities shine through. They’re not playing roles. They are just themselves.

You just fell down the rabbit hole.. there's no way back my friend.. welcome to ARMY 💜. We PURPLE You 💜💜😁👌

I love how a lot of men are starting to react to BTS and always say how damn nervous and unsure they are in the beginning... and then they get swept away by the boys and ARMY and they get that giddy gleam and just. Spread love guys. Always ♥

@@INF1NIT3SIN if you will watch official videos from bts from channels BANGTAN TV and BIG HIT LABELS and will not crop the intros, you of cos will not have any copyright strikes. be careful with Japanese versions of BTS songs, they can issue a copyright strike for reactions. try to avoid everything which has V Live sign in a video. and I saw people recommend you to watch James Corden Carpool karaoke with BTS, watch this alone , because they give copyright strikes for reactions. I hope this information will help you. Good luck with your channel.

I feel like bts is saying “whatever or whoever tries to stop them it won’t make it, cause they have learnt to fly in dark times”

We love to see new people reacting to BTS.

I saw your reactions to BTS and you seem honest, you appreciate their talent. BTS has an ARMY of more than 20 million; you will surely get a lot of subscribers!💜

"How can you be yourself and how can you do what the label says?" Or smthn like that. That was the most epic moment for me. They do both. Trust me.

if you listen to the ENTIRE ALBUM of "MAP OF THE SOUL:7", you'll realize that they are talking about themselves, their story and journey from the very beginning, their ups and downs.. and even though they have reached such unprecedented success, they are still getting a ton of HATE, CRITICISM and UNFAIR TREATMENT from the industry.. So BTS said, COME ON BRING IT! BRING THE PAIN and we'll push through it... As result, with their latest album, BTS managed to chart #4 in Billboard 100 Singles chart for 'ON' without any radioplay in the US which is key and very important btw..they managed to top the Billboard 200 Album chart without using bundles to inflate sales...ALL ORGANIC and PURE EFFORT from the fans and casual listeners! Silencing and making a BLUNT STATEMENT to the CEOs and EXECUTIVES in the industry! a BIG FAT F***K YOU to these MFs!

I recommend watching the video first without the lyrics and then watching it with the lyrics. That's what I always do.

"I'd pull something" "To old for that shit" 😂😂😂 MEEEEEEE vibes so hard. Thank you for being so receptive to trying to learn and understand BTS and ARMY. We purple you!

ON shows their feelings from the start until they achieved their dream. Bookish Theories has many videos that explain things about a lot of kpop videos, so it's really helpful for me 😁💖💜

"I feel like I'm gonna be totally wrong" *gets it right*

OMG, i just love how people outside of the ARMY (BTS fandom's name) always get the meaning of the lyrics just spot on with the thories we spend days and days trying to understand

ARMY love watching newcomers reactions :)

On MV's, I always watch it with the captions turned off the first time. Then I watch it over again with the captions turned on & reading lyrics.

We love these boys because they are 100% genuine. The love they have for ARMY is also genuine and very mutual. Because of this, we fight for their success as much as we do. It’s amazing to see how far they’ve come and how they are still so humble. I’m glad you are so kind to them because they are one of the best groups in the world. Also, most ARMY have figured out, you don’t need to understand what they sing in order to FEEL what they sing,once you’ve felt some of their songs, you’ll never feel the same about them. Looking forward to your journey.

One cool thing is that many BTS fans (Armys) are inspired to start dancing due to BTS. Many get together to learn BTS's choreos and hold events where people just get together and dance to different songs in one big dance circle. I already have been dancing (hip hop, ballet, modern) for about 10 years before I found BTS and it's really fun to learn their choreos, especially in this time of isolation :)

Wooowww from 349 to 6K subscribers in less than a week? Power of Army 💜

Actually BTS is one of the Kpop or even any boy band to produce their songs and write lyrics. The music and lyrics them self resemble BTS in some way so they are not only up beat songs but also many hardcore hiphop, R&B, ballad... The more you get in to them, the more variety you get.

Thank you for being polite as most people aren't. It's okay if there are things you don't like. Don't be afraid to voice it out. It's fine as long as it's just an opinion. Thank you for checking out BTS 💜💜💜💜

Usually when I watch their videos for the first time I watch the first time without subtitles and the second time I only read the subs

Baby Army on the way. It's obvious you have stumbled into BTS and it's so fun to watch. There are many talented and hardworking groups but BTS stands out for many, many reasons. Have fun exploring. P.S., don't feel bad about your preconceived boyband notions. That's what makes you and many others shocked when you find out more about them.
