Something also worth noting is that Dynamite and their other fully English songs weren't part of some big plan to conquer the US market (even though in this video that's what it seemed like). They were supposed to go on their world tour in 2020 after the release of Map of the Soul: 7 and after the tour they were supposed to be doing what they are doing now enlisting in the military while pursuing their solo projects. In their song Black Swan off of that album they were literally saying they were burnt out and needed a break. But when they pandemic happened all their tour and promotion plans were cancelled and they were still hoping the tour would happen at some point so they wanted to release a song to bring happiness and comfort to people worldwide during this difficult time. When they received Dynamite they actually contemplated re-writing parts of the song in Korean but decided the song was fine the way it was. I don't think BTS expected Dynamite to blow up the way it did, it was literally a gift to fans because they couldn't tour. Plus even with the 3 songs in English BTS released a lot more songs in Korean during this same period but people choose to focus only on these 3 songs, heck they even released their BE album during this time which was a Korean language album. I don't think fans really care what language BTS sing in but some fans did feel like their fully English songs weren't completely them since aside from Butter which RM helped write they weren't written by BTS and they were more poppy, commercial, and bland compared to their songs in Korean. And it's kind of frustrating when people who don't know BTS immediately go to Dynamite because it's their most popular song and think all their songs sound like that when they don't. BTS depth and versatility is in their Korean songs and if these easy listening fully English songs get people to check out BTS Korean discography then I'm all for it. BTS are Korean and proud of it but lets not pretend singing predominately in Korean doesn't hold back a lot kpop artists from making it in the western market when it comes to the general public. I've heard people flat out refuse to listen to any kpop including BTS purely based on the fact they don't want to listen music that's not in English. But like the director Bong Joon-Ho said when Parasite won the Oscar "Once you overcome the one-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films." I believe the same thing could be said for music.

Yeah, it's very obvious that MOTS:7, besides being an amazing album on its own, represented a concerted push at the American market. Two versions of Black Swan, each with an MV. Two versions of ON, one of which had two MVs. Shooting the MVs in California. Hitting the American late night talk shows *hard*. Doing ON at Grand Central. It's clear now (especially, as you say, looking at Black Swan's lyrics and RM's comments during Festa '22) that what the boys are doing *now* was what they planned to do *then* -- explore solo projects and restore their passion for music and performing, get a bunch of content filmed, then start terminating their military exemptions and begin their service. The pandemic derailed that and instead they pushed through their burnout to gift us with songs in English for greater accessibility *and* take on producing BE which, while undoubtedly stressful, probably also helped channel their creativity in new ways. I'd love to know how much of what's been coming out now was actually in the works pre-pandemic. Heaven knows, these guys never waste a scrap of creativity; anything they don't immediately put out seems to go into a file marked "For Late Use". And then they actually go back and use it! I wish I was that organized. 😛💜

The ONLY contribution UMG makes towards BTS being on the charts in the U.S is because they make it easy for ARMY to purchase BTS albums on Amazon, Walmart, Target, & Barnes & Noble. In other words, official stores that send purchase data to Billboard for US music charts. And the reason BTS’ label was able to secure a distribution deal with a U.S label (it used to be Columbia Records) was because ARMY would go to their local stores weekly and ask for those companies to get BTS’ albums. It’s why the guys give so much credit to ARMY, because they demanded BTS to be fully recognized in the U.S. and not relegated to some niche market. Rest assured BTS would STILL sell the same number of albums without UMG.

Thanks for your reaction. I agree that BTS do not need the Grammies - it's pretty broadly accepted now that the Grammies need BTS -for example, the Lives BTS did following each Grammy showed had higher viewer numbers than the Grammies. And we all know that the award decisions are driven by who pays the voters most - and that Big Hit has never paid under the counter for promotion - which is one reason that BTS don't get radio exposure in the US. Also, I don't ever think they will stop writing in Korean and Japanese. All of them are close to their own culture: it actually inhabits everything they do, even though it may not be obvious to us in the west. I think it's essential for anyone who is creative to have a strong root in their own culture, and strong sense of themselves. That is one reason we love them so much: at a time when many artists are sounding cliched or generic, their songs are quite deeply personal, and as a result they are unique. The same applies to the solo work they are bringing out during their "non-break". Like you, I watch a lot of"foreign" drama - and HATE dubbing. Subs, subs, subs EVERY time for me! Also It's surprising how many little bits of language you osmose when you are paying attention, which is good fun.

They really do work VERY hard. As of now they have 300+ songs (so good luck with that😂). And about the Grammys, we don't really care much about awards now because they have pretty much achieved all kinds of music awards. They have been nominated 5 times for Grammys and still don't have one which is not all that surprising to us anymore.The only reason we do care about them not winning it is because they have said that they wanted one (although I think they don't care anymore). They have proved whatever they have wanted to prove and now are just focused on their music and solo releases, not to mention their military enlistment. Btw did you guys know J-hope did a song with J Cole which was released about three days ago. He has been one of J-hope's biggest artistic influences and idols. Its sooo amazing to see him finally work with his idol. Plus he will soon be enlisting in the military and will be the 2nd member to do so after Jin 💜💜

Talking about Grammy’s, this year some outlets published findings about the lack of professionalism from the voters. They say they not even listen to the music they are voting and they vote more for the image of the artist, the reputation and not because they listen to the songs. And about BTS some voters said the group is for teenagers and they are not voting for them. So that’s why we stop caring about it. This year they were nominated for My Universe and they gave the award to Unholy because the song had a lot of streams, but My Universe had like a 100 million more streams.

Thanks for the reactions. With regards to the Scammy's, it's not the validation, it's about breaking down barriers. It shows that it's possible, it gives artists around the world the hope that they can do it too. BTS has broken so many barriers, Army would like BTS to break that one too, as we feel they deserve all the recognition 💜 💜 💜 Thanks again, you nice keep going 'Jimin' 👍

People keep bringing up the Grammys like BTS is the first artist who wasn't treated unfairly. I think Justin Bieber was nominated 70 times and only received 2. I think it was very unfair to Army who helped BTS receive all the awards they have, yet they didn't appear as a group to accept all the awards they did win. If it's for an individual member fine, but for a group, a group should attend. We know the difference and didn't have to be treated like 10 year olds. Just because we saw them together doesn't mean we couldn't understand it was only for the award already won. Give us some credit.

I know you're probably thinking how many documentary style videos do we really need to watch but I promise you all 3 combined is the best to understand bts. that being said please react to bts hardships 2013 - 2021 by xceleste because the two guides you watched didn't talk deeply on their struggles. Taylor's guide was good to understand individual members, this one was good in showing their progress and achievements but the hardships are still important to know cause this path was not easy for them and they write about these struggles in their lyrics

Here's a fun fact; You know that BTS come on what's called VLIVE and talks to ARMY? The Grammys ratings were 12.4 million viewers. Jungkook jumping on VLIVE over 14million viewers. The other night when JK jumped on, he fell asleep and snored on camera. You gotta love him.

Actually, after BTS lost the 1st time, the Grammys added "more" diversity and changed some of their voting rules. Also, one of the Grammy's insider (who worked for the Grammy's and was there for discussions) put the Grammy on blast for their racism and what they had to say about BTS, so it's not just about money. Honestly I can't stand award shows so I don't really care but the Grammy's did release the stats on their voting memberships and it really was mostly old white men and even after the change in 2021...still mostly old WM.

Hi there- one of the main reasons why the term “snubbed” was used was because of the fact the Grammys have used BTS for clout time and time again. As an ARMY who experienced this in real time (god it was fucking dreadful) The amount of times the Grammy used “Up Next - BTS” throughout their whole program to keep their viewer count, only to have BTS perform last AND cut short was unbearable. Their latest appearance at last years Grammy was probably the only time I’d say it was worth them even showing face because their performance was incomparable and otherworldly. Also- HYBE only exists because of BTS’s success (no exaggeration lol) and each member of BTS have shares of HYBE. Just a fun fact and a food for thought of just how successful they’ve gotten.

Fun fact, jhopes song chicken noodle soup Ft. Becky g was partially in Spanish for Becky’s rap and BTS performed it at the muster Sowoozoo concert, Jimin & RM rapped Becky’s part in Spanish

and now we have RM solo album, Jhope solo album, Jin solo single, Jimin solo album, JK collab, Yoongi solo tour and Tae sleeping during his live... Even as solo they achieve more and more, And I can surely say that the world is not ready for what they will prepare for their cb maybe in 2026

Hi guys, so as you heard that was an early 2022 update, not 2023. So much has happened since this video. Glad you guys will continue on your BTS journey, I look forward to it. I do enjoy your discussions.

You said that Grammy's is all about money but BTS are billionaires but they don't use their money to win an award cause they don't need that if they want they can buy Grammy's trophy but they are so humble and kind people in the entire planet BTS doesn't need Grammy's they need BTS for ratings and views

As a relatively new fan I appreciate this look back to the early formation of BTS. I don't mind subtitles but as an English speaker I have so much gratitude and view those releases as a gift to non Korean army We love BTS too. They are so hard working and talented and bring alot of joy in a sketchy miserable world!

Thanks guys, for reacting to this video by Rice Squad. It's a bit out of date now but one of the ones to watch. I'm a 70 year old ARMY whose musical tastes are stuck in the 50s 60s and 70s for the most part but I had to laugh when you guys didn't know that 'mv' stands for, 'music video'. Now here's a test for you, what does, 'OST' stand for? I love watching K-Drama but, yes, you have to pay attention to the subtitles so you can't multitask. You can get them dubbed but it's a no no for me. As for the Grammys, I think, 'Black Swan' and 'No' were more than worthy to be nominated but weren't and it can't be denied that it was because they weren't in English. I wouldn't have minded them losing if both the songs which beat them were really worthy but they weren't. As for a Spanish album that's not on the cards at the moment. Brazilian ARMYs are amazing but remember they speak Portuguese, not Spanish. All of BTS speak Japanese so they find hitting that lucrative market easy. They can go on shows there and converse easily. BTS have spoken to the UN three times. They've also visited President Biden.

In the ON mv she is the girl front and center at beginning of the video. She's also in the Chicken Noodle Soup mv. She did the work on Jimin's "Set Me Free" while also do Rhianna's Super Bowl Halftime Show.

They're not signed to UMG, UMG is their distributor in the US and in Japan. Before UMG, they were with Columbia Records (which we assume was doing the radioplay legwork for them when they released Dynamite - Butter - Permission to Dance).

This video compiled BTS' achievements and what strikes me most is how passionate they are and how had they work. To be able to produce so many albums in 10 years, perform these songs and go on tours with limited breaks/personal time in between, the work ethic and dedication is admirable. Its inspiring. They work on stage and behind too. They are all composers, writers, producers, on all their albums which is rare for kpop. You notice the group because of visuals, music and choreography but you stay and root for them when you get to see how they are as people, their bond, their passion and amazing talent. Its super inspiring. Im so glad you are getting to know them. Welcome to the BTS rabbit hole. Its amazing down here lol 🐰💜

The UMG partnership only started in 2021. 💜

They aren't All in military right now. So far, only Jin (the oldest) enlisted in mid-December after release his solo song "The Astronaut" in collab with Coldplay and he went to Argentina to perform it live at Coldplay's concert. We recently found out J-Hope put in his papers to enlist but he isn't In yet. Age wise - Suga would be before J-Hope, but he is going on tour in U.S., Seoul, Japan, and another country or two, I think, in April and May. Tickets sold out in fan pre-registration for him as well, and they are smaller stadium type venues. Then next would be J-Hope, followed by RM. J-Hope was the first to release his solo album "Jack In The Box" in 2022, and recently a collab song with J. Cole, "On The Street". RM already released his solo album, Indigo, and has said he is working on some other things, so I suspect he will be next. Jimin's solo album is coming out in late March and has 6 tracks, one of which is an English version of a song that's on the same album in Korean. The album is called "Face". We don't know whether V or Jungkook are working on their solo albums yet. V has been busy doing TV shows and one was filmed in South America. Jungkook performed at the FIFA World Cup Opening Ceremony and did an MV for it as well, "Dreamers". He also did a collab song last year with Charlie Puth "Left and Right". Jungkook seems to be a bit lost lately and has just been taking it easy (as far as we know), drinking beer, singing for hours for us on Weverse-Live, etc. Several of them were recently named as fashion designer ambassadors (Suga, Jimin, RM, J-Hope and V) for all different designers. We thought Jung Kook was going to be one also, and maybe he still will be, but haven't gotten any confirmation yet. ANYWAY, Only 1 officially enlisted so far, and 1 going soon. The rest we aren't sure of the timing; however, if they really Do come back together sometime in 2025, that would mean they would all have to be enlisted before the end of 2023. So, we shall see. I'm sure I missed quite a few updates, but basically they've all still been busy. That update video only went to April 2022, like it said in the video. I think they have a typo in the title.

More Fun Facts: BTS became the FIRST and ONLY act in history to chart in the top 10 of IFPI's Global Album Chart for 5 CONSECUTIVE years!!! (Record came out this year)

I started liking the BTS because of Jung Kook (JK). I got hooked on his beautiful voice and talents. He's adorable, witty, and physically good in everything. His personality is very unique in that I can't find it in other celebrities. I have seen so many handsome personalities in different countries, but for me, JK is still the no. 1, charming and lovely.

You are right the amount t they’ve done without raking extended breaks us truly insane. Especially as the quality hadn’t ever stopped or dropped. They just keep raising their level of art. They are obsessed with music and love performing.

I look forward to your reaction to RM's speech at the UNGA 😊. RM's speech is already featured and included in school textbooks and discussed in schools or mentioned in valedictory speeches during graduations. As for them singing in Spanish, you can check the OT7 version of JHope's Chicken Noodle Soup where Jimin and RM sang Becky G's Spanish verses. This was in their 2021 Muster Sowoozoo Online concert😊.

Big Jackie Chan fan here. LOVED Drunken Master (title I watched in Japan). I'm also a big fan of Korean dramas. Many on Netflix. The thing about subtitles... you get skilled at it and become more involved in the story being told because you have to pay attention. So, I think that now I prefer shows with subtitles.

Just a note on the Chinese market, BTS has & still are popular & have a huge following, although I don't really know the fanbase count there. A guesstimate would be at least 5 million fans. There had been some socio-political issues between BTS & China, but that was mostly with China's government & conservative proponents. In the end though, any conflict they had with BTS got mainly subdued not only by global ARMY but also by Chinese ARMY.

grammys put bts’ performance at second to last even tho they said it was going to be the next performance way earlier so that’s why rice squad said snubbed.

52:03 Let me tell you ,most ARMYs that you talk to really don't care about the grammys (we call it the grannys) but as long as the guys want one we'll support them no matter what.

Dynamite, butter, permission to dance none of these were planned and expected to succeed that much from bts's perspective lol 💜 All of them finished schools and college BTW

Totally agree about preferring watching Chinese and Korean movies in original language with English subtitles (not all are quality ones, but once they are they're great). This also forces me to rewatch them a 2nd time.

For real! I mean, there are certain companies that do it right or have good voice actors, but it feels like voice actors dont care enough about the movie or show to do a great vocal performance in dub. Original voice actors and english sub titles gaurantee a great watch no matter what!

I love K drama shows; but if I start one and it’s dubbed in English I’ll stop watching. I love the sound of Korean spoken language; it’s what I demand to hear when I watch those shows. Anxiously awaiting season two of Attorney Woo

Enjoyed your show tonite hope you keep up with BTS and what is going on now that they are going solo until they come together again they will surprise you.

Thanks for this guys. I think one of the reasons people were upset after the first Grammy loss is the way that show was set up. They had them perform but moved the duo group award to the end of the show to hold on to the viewers they brought. What was funny is after the show Bts did a live stream like always and had as many viewers as the awards show. I am not sure on numbers but they were so classy about it. I know it’s hard to watch everything without getting blocked but I think you would enjoy the online concerts they did during covid. They kept so many people employed. The Sowoozoo one was great. They had so many screens with people showing in the place of chairs for the audience. Anyway big fun.

You guy’s so nice Thank you BTS❤

This much work these many songs out yet none you can skip That's BTS's discography!!! So much success breaking and setting records left and right yet always so grounded so humble That's BTS the group i stan!!! and will keep supporting forever for how honest they and their music is!💜

Same here!!💜💜💜

Next "Rise of Bangtan" please. It has 22 chapters of BTS journey, im sure you'll love it. Thank u for the reaction.

I love Fake Love too! Was the first BTS song I heard

The best songs of BTS is on their B side!! Can’t wait you guys reacting those

A littlle correction jin was not scouted by SM in Anyang! He was born there but lived in Gwacheon later for 10 yrs and then moved to Seoul.

Funny that you mentioned about them breaking their own records 😂 in fact just two weeks ago news came out thay BTS's V (Kim Taehyung) becomes the First Person in the World to have over 10 Million Likes on all his Instagram posts 👑

They are not signed as artist under UMG but signed as distributer!

Has any one told them about Chicken Noodle Soup by JHope and Becky G. English, Korean and Spanish in the same song. Lol.

BTS are now songrwriters, music producers, develop choregraphy, play many instruments, have tuned their voices and teamwork.... do modelling for famous brands and a bit of acting... They also have put out individual records and concerts that have all done well.... All while doing school work, to high school and Uni Level. Theyre now doing their Bachelors Degrees All part of the concept from Big Hit Entertainment... that they dont just train to be entertainers, they are promised Education.... They've worked hard, appreciate their fans and always acknowledge them.... BTS ARMY... They seem like a lovely grounded bunch of men from various backgrounds.... who are now on hiatus for their compulsory military service... They are slick, synchronised, professional and will come back once theyve done service... As a rock chick who supported all the greats... im pleasantly surprised and totally enjoy this KPop Band... I purple them lol....

With all due respect, BTS right now are trying to polish their English. They never stop from learning to hone their weaknesses especially now that they're into promoting solo performance for the meantime..but by 2025, just as they keep saying they'll be back. What RICE SQUAD hasn't included in his video; BTS being all college grads, their different multi-talents, being HYBE's share stockholders, etc.

Thank you for reacting to this video. I find this to be the best intro to BTS for new people. Sure there are more videos with more into detail info about each member but I find this one to be the best one to start with.

Thanks to RICE SQUAD because he truly touched on important details for those who haven't known BTS in a deeper level..those haters and bullies BTS trying to defame them know nothing..TRUE! At this time(2023), ARMY AND BTS DON'T NEED GRAMMY for validation. I even saw a video about how US producer paying for US singer's songs be promoted and played just to make it on top..BUT BTS? they have WORLDWIDE ARMY to prove they don't need to pay just to make their songs ON TOP..we are just hoping cheaters won't pull down BTS' record of the real chart on Billboard and other platform

It's what latinarmy wants the most, it's a song in Spanish and if many records break, the last one was a vlive that JK did with 18 million people watching for 4 hours, thanks for respecting BTS 💜🇺

KPOPs were banned in China for some time now. I think China began to open up again to allow KPOP artists to perform in the country. Chinese Armys usually have to travel to SK or Japan to see BTS concerts.

Your marketing video sounds very interesting; looking forward to it. My late husband (who encouraged me to discover BTS) was in sales/marketing/biz dev management for couple of decades so I’d like to hear your take on it.

It's more based on social media's influence and the space it has on modern digital marketing. I think alot of people don't want to realize that when you are doing something you feel you should it usually has the opposite effect. We release it on friday so im curious to get your thoughts on it.

I hope you watch Dionysus mama performance. One of the best performance i have seen from BTS

I love your insights. Looking forward to your Rise of Bangtan series now. lol.

There is a whole new generation reading subtitles with Kdramas! You were ahead of the wave! 🤣🤣🤣

Me gustó está reacción, aunque tengo que subtitular . Sería genial que empezarán a cantar en español latino para que saquen mucha basura de los niños. También me gusta leer los subtítulos, ahí conocí a V en el drama "hwarang" hace varios años y amo a estos 7 chicos como hijos, tengo 51 años,soy de Chile y ahora los empezaré a seguir y suscribir. Un abrazo grande y bendiciones desde Iquique ❤️💜 borahe 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

And now we have amazing solo work and more to come

Thank you for watching this video. ありがとう。 from Japanese J-ARMY

I’ve lost count how many times I’ve watched this episode. I always rewind the part where Aich asks “Did that say 13 minutes?” OMG his facial expressions always get me 😂😂😂 Y’all please keep up the great work and I look forward to watching more of your reactions.

I am so glad you chose to watch this intro. It may not be perfect but it gave the bigger picture and so much more than just one fan’s love letter to the band, cheered by all other fans, by fans for fans, which is great, if you are already interested. Anyways. Thanks for the watch!

You just need to look at the language used by some people “they lost again” to see the degree of minimisation, and to ask ourselves: WHY

Nice reaction! 👍. I wish rice squad would update BTS achievements in 2022. A lot had happened especially the 2nd half of 2022. Getting a Grammy would be nice...a lot of haters has been using it to mock BTS all these while but Queen and ABBA also never win a Grammy but that doesn't stop them. BTW, Jungkook spontaneous weverse live got more audience than the Grammys this year (21M vs 14.3M😏) and this is not the first time. BTS actually doesn't need those awards to validate themselves.

And to make it even more incredible... they 7 gave themselves the time and discipline to earn their university degrees and pursue their master's degrees." There is when you look at yourself and say: what the hell am I doing with my life? If they can, I can too... that's a great boost and example that they give to the fandom.

Vocês precisam assistir o show do bts no Brasil 🇧🇷 foi incrível todos cantaram juntos com estes meninos maravilhosos que espalham amor onde vão Eles não precisam desta premiação fajuta que é o gremmy pois os seus armys reconhece o talento que eles tem e os premiam seguindo eles por toda a parte . Só fico na torcida para que eles retornem logo ❤❤❤🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

They keep going, doing their own solo albums and songs waiting when all of them finish the obligatory military service. And their own work is also completely awesome!

Although BTS aren't the first, the Grammy's was a snub actually. They used them to gather clout but BTS had the last laugh bc they chose not to let it bother them. The award show used the fact that they would perform to get ARMY to watch and kept saying they were up next when they were 3 hrs after. Plus they're performance got shortened 👎 However, BTS doesn't need a Grammy to be validated as many other amazing artists have only been nominated as well! All they need is ARMY and we'll continue to fight, borahae💜

Funny thing, I am so used to watching both music and tv/films with subs that the other day when I was watching tv in English and there was a banner with updates about a state of emergency here across the bottom, my mind was reading those as subs and getting very confused 😂

Thanks for your lovely reactions…!!!

I think the only reason why grammy is such a big deal for bts and armys is because it's the only award left for them to have. Lol they are alrrady the most awarded group in history/of all time (4th overall). Even on hiatus they are still winning awards as a group. But it's just a validation. Bts wants it. It will come in perfect time. Maybe on their comebacks. Snoop has 20noms 0wins. Coldplay has 30+ noms w/ only 6wins. Bts at this point has 5noms, losing will still give them a title of 5-time grammy nominater artist. They have the most daesang (grandprize) which is also equivalent to grammys. That's how prestigious it is. In this day & age, there r still ppl who r still confused y Bts is dominating d world. Esp those hu refuse 2 check them out. Not liking them is fine, but talking sht abt them w/o actually knpwing them is crazy. 3 english songs VS 300+ korean songs is such a big deal 4 everyone. Unsure y ppl r shtting w/ bts abt it. Other grps/artists r alao doing it, ppl dont mind. I hope u also watch RISE OF BANGTAN, it's the best fan made docu out there. It's not all about bts, but the way they differ from the whole kpop industry. 💯

I totally agree with you!💜💜

Wings is my most fave album of them, and Blood, Sweat and Tears my #1 song. Spring Day is a very emotional song, especially if you watch the mv explanation after. Highly recommended.

Has anyone told you about "Chicken Noodle Soup"? J Hope collabed with Becky G, and that song has English, Korean, and Spanish in it, even though hope isn't the one doing the Spanish.

Jhope with Jcole "on the street" 👍👍

58:26 definitivamente serían un gran éxito sin cantan en español. Dato curioso es que Army de México son quienes les dan más stream en las plataformas de música, estamos siempre en el top 10 de países que dan stream a BTS.

Love the long videos because it's a good way to listen while doing other things. I am asian American that grew up watching old school Jackie Chan movies as well. Respect. Rumble in the Bronx still one of the greatest films ever.

Primero Gracias por vuestras reacciones y conclusiones Y también me gustaría decir que TODOS los artistas tienes sus fans. No solo ARMY con BTS No serian nada sin sus fans, aunque también creo que ARMY es distinto al resto. Son incondicionales y de eso se trata. Solo que BTS tiene otro nivel y yo, sin ni siquiera entender sus letras, hacen de cada canción algo distinto; solo escuchando te hacen sentir. Y sobre todo si los ves porque ahí si entiendes todo sin necesitar idiomas. Que harían los artistas SIN FANS????? Quien escucharía su música, o vería sus películas o ….. etc. etc.

Omg I am so excited for you to check out their documentary BTS: Burn The Stage. Thank you for your reaction to this video. I appreciate your insights! 💜

Thanks for reacting to this video! It’s a favorite! But also highly recommend Xceleste’s videos she has even more content not touched in the ones you have seen. I love watching cdramas and kdramas. Don’t have a problem reading subtitles !!

Wow! Thanks for sharing this channel and incredible information about my favorite band- I purple you! 💜💜💜

Todo mi.apoyo y amor para BTS.....🫶💜.......

UMG is their distributor. :)

Yep true

Amazed by the numbers? So, it's safe to say that you don't know how many people watched JK fall asleep during his live

BTS = This is what we call Destiny

In response to the question of BTS going into the Chinese market, in my 12-ish years of being a Kpop fan I have only seen success come from groups who have members that are Chinese or of Chinese descent. For example EXO, NCT, & Super Junior all have/had Chinese subunits within the group. However due to strict regulations put in place by the Chinese govt back in 2016, when those subunits promote in China they cannot promote any Korean culture, style, etc. Its a whole political thing. Supposedly China is starting to lift the K-entertainment ban slowly, but it's still pretty restricted right now. Being as BTS has no Chinese members and also because they have become huge global ambassadors of Korea/Kpop, I highly doubt they would be welcome to enter the Chinese market- at least not now. Maybe they can tackle it after their military service and OT7 comeback!😊😊

also with all of that, they all found the time to get college degrees. the highest would be Suga who has a masters in advertising and media.

Just watched it. Yeah it’s so long but it’s also so worth it.

Thank you what you said is very true . People need to stop with all this hate and negative comments..and yes Twitter does need to at least do something about all the bs people put on their pages.well amigo I'm Teresa from California and I'm 50yrs old just became a kpop fan a few yrs back. And it's sad to see this young man leav us.may his family have peace.with all my respect.thank you.
