I'm sorry that you got so much hate on that last video... However to offer some context (this is not a criticism of your reaction it's just how ARMY is) BTS has helped so many of us get through our own trauma and look at our lives in a more whole and meaningful way (whether it's urging kids to follow their dreams in response to the harsh Korean education system, opening up about their own anxieties and struggles, helping us to love ourselves and walking that path with us) so when you say things like "just a boyband" or talk about how the music doesn't mean anything, it kind of feels reductive in a way that is personal. I mean it's not your fault that their two biggest songs in the US are two very shallow poppy songs that were directed specifically to the American music market that finds little value in songs that aren't in English. So, I'm sorry that you got all that hate, but I do hope you take some of those song suggestions and see who BTS really is. I said it in a comment on your last video but really, Butter and Dynamite are what the American music industry can handle, but not at all who BTS are as artists.

It wasn’t your comments about the song. It was your comments about them. I’m sure you weren’t trying to, but some of your comments came off as racist. I get where people are coming from. BTS have gotten so many comments like this and have been attacked by so many people, we can be overprotective. But I also believe in educating rather than sending hate. I hope you continue to speak your mind about the music though. Don’t worry, most fans like to hear honest opinions about their music as long as you’re respectful.

Regardless, it could be any artiste not just BTS, any comments that touches on appearance, culture and anything along that narrative need to be dealt with carefully. This are very sensitive issues, mind you. BTS fandom are worldwide and from diverse international background, of different nationalities, colours and ages. Not all Army are toxic just bcoz they felt hurt when someone touches on matter such as appearance in a derogatory manner. Few were taken a back with the reaction to Butter MV... it was rather "condescending" .... it's ok not to like a certain artiste but to prejudge them or their work 'negatively' even before the MV is shown is uncalled for. BTS are not short of knowledgable, respectful and sensitive reactors that are eager to join the bandwagon. Reacting to BTS will almost guaranteed to increase traffic flows to the site. it is certainly nothing wrong being humble and to play down our abilities, just like the BTS boys themselves ... Have a good day all.... Borahe!

Ok so let’s talk about it! I’m so happy you took time to explain more on what you said and how you felt, we can understand there’s no bad intention behind it and I’m glad to hear it. To give us some credit though bts have been so mistreated by the American public we kinda became protective of them and get triggered by little things like what you’ve said. Sorry if we got a bit intense, just know that our intention was to protect something that is so dear to us. I’m glad you like the songs, they’re happy songs meant for the western music industry who for years refused to play bts’ Korean songs on the radio, even if there was obvious demand. This two songs did what they were supposed to do, we’re not mad that you said there’s no deep meaning to them. We know that. Even the members said there’s no profound message. But we also know their deep songs which mean so much to us. If you’re still curious about the band there’s a documentary like video on KZread called the most beautiful life goes on by Asian Theory, it’s really cool. Thank you for listening to them again, hopefully you’ll get to hear more! Take care💜

Yes, you should see some of the questions the American media still asks them that they wouldn't ask Western artists. Don't worry about the length of the video, ARMY will watch it. I'm looking forward to your BTS journey.

I get your opening and ending remarks here.. In no way do I condone “hate comments” but I went through ( yup .. kinda sad..) the 198 comments on your Butter reaction and I feel only about half a dozen were truly offensive namely those that told you not to react to BTS anymore or basically said you were racist. The rest who didn’t agree with you commented quite gently and respectfully and even encouraged you to delve in more.. and from what I’ve seen there seem to be more BTS fans who respond like the latter. For me personally I see a significant difference in these two reactions of yours to BTS. In Butter you repeated saying “Palette Cleanser” “There’s nothing to feel here” “Boyband -that’s all it is” “Are they dudes?” But for this one you did not say anything similar at all. Im glad you made a distinction btw Fans and Stans. The fandom is huge and are as diverse as BTS - bear in mind that the fandom is international- many may not get your context of “palette cleanser” or “feel”. Toxic fans should not be tolerated but reactors who decide to publish their views and throwaway comments should also be able to receive viewers reactions opinions too. If you’re gonna say it “how it is”. So can we right? I really liked this reaction and not because you liked the song- but because it’s clearly honest ..not full of wows or overly praising them and also no desperate plea for subscribers to hit a goal. Best wishes 💜💜💜( Purple Hearts have a special significance for BTS and Army)

I really wish some of you could explain what amazing artists BTS are without discrediting Dynamite and Butter. They aren’t simple or dumb songs, but fantastic pop bangers with amazing vocals and very much something Michael Jackson could have done in the 80s. Just because people jump to conclusions about BTS after listening to one or two songs and think that they only do songs like that doesn’t make the songs themselves bad. The members love the songs and are very proud of them and rightfully so. They have explained numerous times why they chose those songs and it wasn’t to cater to American taste. They are aware of the mass appeal of those songs but that doesn’t mean it was their motivation. BTS‘ versatility is one of the things that sets them apart from other artists, they can do party anthems and Jungian psychology-inspired lyrics - and sometimes they even do it in the same song. Both is BTS, as a fan you should know and appreciate that.

Butter & PTD only came out last year in May and July respectively and got the same type of promo as any of their other title tracks where they are performed on all types of shows and performance videos. And 1 year later all their performances have been Yet To Come and For Youth. These are also NOT the only outside producers they've ever used either. Yet people like you just focus on their English tracks for not using their Korean producers. Makes no sense to me except just someone trying to find something to hate on them for. And you saying that they look at their fans as cash cows really tells me what type of "fan" you are. Because you truly don't know them and just want to form your own narrative to fit your own "vision" of them.

Funny fact I discovered BTS with Dynamite last year and I lived under a rock also🤣. And like you I was thinking, they are all the same!!! And now I can distingue every one of them just by the eyes or mouth, I’m capable to know who was singing before knowing the names perfectly So don’t mind and don’t be mad at the fans, we are very protective to them. I’m a 49 years old French lady. Greetings from France by the way Hope you keep digging in their discography, I m sure with your color sensitivity you ll gonna love a lot of their mv. I m thinking of Fake love, Not today, the very esthetic blood sweet and tears and the beautiful mv of black swan. And if you love choreography and special atmosphere , please watch the one take mv of save me, I’m sure you are loving this. Don’t worry, I’m sure you re getting along with us pretty well and I m also sure if you keep digging you can falling into the rabbit hole like a lot of no K pop fan !!! Have a great day

no offense but we DO alway immediately criticize people who say racist microagressions (they look like girls, they look like children, they look the same, theyre gay, theyre chinese, theyre anime, etc, etc, etc, etc) we have done that for 8 years and yet they are still the biggest band in the world. we dont NEED to let ignorance slide in order to gain new fans (especially not thru 1 small reaction channel lol) bts are doing just fine despite their "stans", in fact, they LIKE that we dont tolerate bigotry. its a bit silly to suggest we should stop defending 7 asian men from comments derived from the long history of racist demasculinization of asian men in us media, simply bc it would be offputting for the randos making those comments, dont u think?

Regarding your question about how these seven talented people came together: long story short, many Korean entertainment companies recruit and train young people to be entertainers. This includes singing, rapping, dancing, acting, etiquette and speech skills, etc. BTS was put together and trained by a (back then) small agency. Since some of them were already in the music scene as rappers/producers/songwritters, they have been heavily involved in the content (music, lyrics, videos, concepts) they put out from their beginnings, in 2013. They've also been in extremely in touch with their fanbase over the years. Today, their company is HUGE, and the boys are enjoying the success achieved through their hard work, sincerity and commitment to their artistry. There are many fanmade documentaries you can watch on youtube if you want to know more about them. Also: in the previous video you asked about their age. The younger is now 23, and the oldest is 29, but they debuted with 15 and 21 respectively :) hope it helps.

@@GKDLABELS BTS journey to the biggest group on the planet is truly an inspirational one. Jin was recruited while getting off a bus while attending college (he had no prior experience in dancing or singing), V only went to an audition to support a friend and ended up auditioning himself and was the only person to pass the audition (I believe because he was underage, he also had to call his parents to get permission to audition). Jungkook had offers from 7 different companies many of which were big companies and he chose the lesser known company all because he saw RM rapping and thought he was cool so he joined Bighit instead. BTS was not an overnight success and it took many years for them to get acceptance from not just South Korea but the world. And they still get a lot of hate today just for being more feminine and singing/rapping in Korean. I don't think BTS is intentionally trying to look young, I think they just naturally look young. They took good care of themselves and their skin is flawless. I still remember the days of the music videos in MTV and staying up all night until you saw a music video you wanted to see because you didn't know what time it would be on. Jimin does have a high voice, but he also has the ability to go super low when he want to. There is a thing called the Jimin effect. Not that it applies to you but a lot of men you react to BTS for the first time are attracted to Jimin. The end was CGI. I believe they didn't want it to be but because of pandemic they couldn't film outside or something. Thanks for reacting and exploring more BTS.

3:26 I don't think you deserve any hate. However, I do think that sometimes people are tone deaf to what they say when it comes to other ethnicities. In a time where violence against Asians is on the rise in the US, there's a lot of sensitivities going around. I know you said a lot of lovely things about BTS and enjoyed "Butter". Good on you. Ignore the hate. But consider the thoughtful critiques. It's one thing to be thick-skinned and ignore everything, but I think it's important to be a bit introspective and self-aware. Hope you get to the Love Yourself series. It's a very thoughtful, feel-good series that'll make you feel better

The Love Yourself series is literally my favorite of all time. It helped me alot through some really ruff times

I want to apologize first and foremost for the hateful comments. As others have stated, BTS has been dragged for their looks, being Asian, coming from a small company in an extremely competitive Korean arts world. Army is extremely protective. The only way to truly explain is by having you watch “Who is BTS” by XCELESTE. Lastly,.. There is NO excuse for hate period, and Army do not condone that what so ever. Teach and learn, not attack! Thank you... for coming back and giving them another try. 💜 You earned a sub from me! Sending you love!

Love your honest reactions. As a fan of BTS, and as a Korean I am enjoying watching other cultures’ view point. Please forgive some overprotective fans who left some hate comment to you. They are immature and also in the learning stage of how to accept others I guess. Personally, I have experience of many country, including the states and some countries in Asia, so I do understand how it feel when someone try to push me up about things I don’t know anything about or no knowledge behind it. That’s cultural difference. Once you gradually learn that there are lots of stuff that he/she would not know then he/she turn to be humble enough to accept things of differences. I think you are doing a great job on your reaction and a new journey which is unfamiliar to you. Even someone who fully knowledgeable to BTS, it is still natural to say that BTS is not their cup of tea. Nobody could say you have to love and like particular music or band. If so that is another type of violence. As I can see you are fond of more serious and deep contents, I could say you are in a right track. Honestly, for me BTS’ two songs in English are just soft pop ones. These two songs are way different to their typical contents which has more deep, deep meaning inside. Since BTS try to get into the global music market (especially USA), that’s why they put some easy approach that every generation could get into. But if you check their other songs such as “Fake love” “Black Swan” “I Need You” or “Spring Day”… it might be a little bit busy to read the translated lyrics and check all the symbols they put, but yeah it is a whole lot of world there. That’s why BTS fan is not only for teenage girls so far. I myself is 47 years old, mother of two kids, and art-theories major & working curator in the field of serious art, yet I am a big follow of BTS. Because of how BTS do their way of creation, I am able to grasp more meaning about current pop culture and young & old generation, and… the culture around the world. Hope you enjoy this journey. Please do not just leave and shut the door to a new opportunity of learning new other worlds. :)

There is something between black and white, life has nuances and the world isn’t clear cut. You aren’t innocent and the “stans” aren’t the guilty ones. The problem was that you didn’t go into that last reaction with an open mind but a preconceived notion. Your last reaction was prejudiced and belittling although you acknowledged that the song itself was pretty good. I’m sure some reactions to that were out of line, although those I read were OK. Now would be an opportunity to learn from the situation. Judging from your next video, you are trying to do that now. It will be a valuable experience for you if you manage to open your mind and your heart.

Most of your initial reactions were based in racial prejudice and xenophobia. You may not think so, but you can't decide what is racist and what isn't. We call that sht out and nip it in the bud as soon as we hear it because we hear it ALL THE TIME. So I'm sorry you felt like you were being attacked, but imagine how much it SUCKS to hear the same sht over and over again. Now that I've got that off my chest, I truly do think you'll enjoy your BTS journey. I went thru a lot of what you did in terms of having no idea what BTS or Kpop was really and having to unlearn a lot of what I'd previously believed.

They were going for the retro look and sound with this one for sure. It takes me back to my younger years (I am a 58 year old ARMY). If you like ballads with the feels, check out The Untold Truth and House of Cards live.

My 2 cents for ARMY (please read the whole comment I have some flowers to give). Going into Butter I too had never heard BTS, the type of song Butter is is not my thing, I left a comment I felt was very respectful just pointing out that whilst it didn't connect to me personally I appreciated the talent and that it exsists and people loved it. What followed was a massively constructive and polite conversation with some of you educating me about the variety and deeper story of BTS - and here I am giving them another chance and even if I don't become ARMY in the end, I'm pumping the algorythm for this video so that others may see and get something from it have the chance to see it who otherwise wouldn't. This is what we should be doing as fans for our favourite artists, opening respectful dialogue and spreading positivity, so a sincere thankyou to those people I chatted with in the last BTS video. To those flaming Gid and who came with hate; I'm a big fan of Tom MacDonald and he gets a lot of the pre-judgement and hate coming in from those who do not have the wider picture, I try to do for him what the respectful ARMY members did for BTS last video - I appreciate music is subjective and it feels personal and close to home when people don't understand your favourite artist off the bat but music is subjective...so please, respectfully, if BTS have such a profound impact for you, rather than turn potential new fans away please consider learning from your ARMY peers and adopt a more constructive approach - grow your fanbase don't hurt it by shutting people out. It's because of the constructive ARMY fans that I will continue to give them a chance and watch these videos.

There's one very specifically about trauma which broke over 6 million hearts in an online live concerts. Trauma hurts.

Let's get this straight, you are having a dialogue with the BTS ARMY! The BTS ARMY is very diverse and comes in all races, ages and cultures. And yes, all different types of personalities, so don't expect everybody to be nice. I am 51 years old and I'm usually very understanding when people say not so nice things about BTS. But I feel like you deserved every comment that you received, because everything you said was condescending and borderline racist so you should just accept the responses you received and grow from it. Saying that you like the song didn't erase everything you said about the Artists that performed, trained and perfected that song. You may think you're exposing your fans to BTS but what you were doing was putting BTS down in front of your fans and it wasn't fun to watch at all! You're upset that ARMY said "ignorant" stuff...go back and watch your video and you will see that the comments that you made were ignorant as well. I'm sorry that some fans may have said some very negative things but if you only want to hear nice things then cut your comments off. I'm very happy to help you see how very talented and amazing these guys are, but don't expect if you make the types of condescending comments that you made in the other video that you're not going to get a negative response.

In Kpop to be an 'Idol' you audition to a company quite young and if you pass you spend a time as a trainee. If they think you are good enough you eventually get put in a group. Changes to members get made and people get cut throughout this time until the final line-up is set for debut. For example, RM joined BigHit in 2010, but BTS debuted in 2013. Jungkook is the youngest member and was around 13 when he became a trainee.

Can I recommend some of their more “feel”-y (lol) music? I’d recommend “I NEED U (Original MV), AGUST D’s (one of the rapper) solo song “The Last”

Thank you so much for the support and recommendations. Will be adding these to the list to go though!

Hey I just want to say that I really like your reaction. It reminds me of what I self-thought and think when I discover BTS in February 2020. I admire that you open with your thoughts. I purple you and welcome in the rabbit hole!

Thanks for giving them another chance despite the more negative ARMYs. I know people have said it already, but they’ve been through a lot and have truly helped a lot of people, so ARMY is very protective😂 But being introduced to something completely new takes time to get used to and everyone’s BTS journey is different. I’m just happy you decided to give them another try! Welcome to the chaos that is BTS and ARMY💜

Thank you for your reactions! They have their own style for sure! They love MJ! I feel so bad you were attacked.

I’m not gonna lie but your butter reaction left me feeling abit awkward but it’s not what you said but how you said it.. but I also know that new reactors make those kinda mistakes because they just don’t know what to expect. What I’m trying to say it’s I’m going to stick around to see how your bts journey turn out to be

This song pays homage to the 70’s, 80’s even possibly the 90’s. Starting with the Terminator & David Bowie posters on his room wall. “Got milk?” referenced. Then the 70’s style and Jin doing the iconic Saturday Night Fever John Travolta finger in the air pose. Kid n Plays House Party dance moves. Suga’s Space Jam outfit. Michael Jackson’s song titles and choreography is DEFINITELY all over this! I was born in the 60’s and see all the references whereas the younger eye may not even notice much, but there’s too much for me to note without ending this as a novel!😆 Thanks for your reaction videos. Welcome to the rabbit hole 🕳🤓💜

ty for your reaction to our boys , can't wait to see your next reaction

From army to army, this is a really a good reactor, i know it wasn't the best start but i saw the growth, so i suggest giving him a chance, watch all the BTS reactions this person has made, then is up to you! 🌻💜

I remember watching this reaction the first time it came out. I went back to the Butter video and looked at the comments you got. I'm really sorry you got flamed. First of all, Butter, like Dynamite, was a light video intended to cheer people up because everyone was locked down for the covid virus. It did exactly what it was supposed to do to you as well as for the rest of us. If I recall correctly, I subscribed to your channel right after watching this video. Congratulations on the 100,000 subscribers. BTW I'm a seventy-year-old Army from Chicago.

Finally! A reactor that notices a lot of the MJ references! All the other reactors I've seen just mention getting a MJ vibe and don't extend on that, but you, my guy, pointed out the kicks. I love that so much. I kid you not, you are the first reactor I have seen point out the MJ kick. Thank you for that. I love the honesty in your reactions. Thanks for reacting to BTS despite those hateful comments from your previous reaction. I hope you don't take their hateful words to heart. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I’m subscribing solely for your BTS content.🥰

Can’t wait for your other BTS reactions :D

I watched it again and I really do enjoy your reaction. In my growing up days I loved the Osmonds and Jackson5, moving on with age I got into Backstreet Boys and Nsync. Now I love BTS and any good music, no matter of language or nationality. Keep up the good work!

Just come here coz I want to restart my BTS journey through reaction video. First intense video opening tho. Glad you gave chance for BTS. 💜💜💜

Got to say been noticing your steady rise in followers since you started doing reaction. You were under 2k when I first started watching you now you are at 2.2k keep it up brother.

woah, now 25K

so many first time reactors, when they get the mixed comments, they either get offended, or back down from reacting to BTS. its good that you continue to react to BTS after that. that just says a lot about who you are. like just because of a one-off "incident", it did not deter you from continuing to want to watch and listen to them. so thanks for that.

ARMY here! You just got a new subscriber just because of the BTS content. FYI BTS dont do much CGI, they make a lot of their sets real so the colors are more vivid. Next songs to dive in the rabbit hole: MIC drop, ON:Kinetic Manifesto, Black Swan, Fire, their 2019 MMA performance

Thanks for your reaction 💜

I absolutely love the care they put into their music and music videos

BTS has been going for a retro disco pop theme for the past couple of songs but you will find that they tend to switch up their themes and song genres frequently. Even sometimes within the same album. Most of their videos are done with practical sets with sometimes a little bit of CGI. Less then you think. You will be amazed. They work hard to give to best to ARMY and tend to give us movie quality MVs. They usually put out a behind the scene shooting video for the big MVs.

I understand you, well said. I'm ready for the journey, let's go.😉

I hate stan culture. I am an ARMY, but I do agree some fans take it way too far. Before I became a fan myself I used to see people being SCARED to make a negative comment towards BTS (and k-pop in general) because they knew their fans are crazy and they would come for them for what they said. I agree with you that that's something which makes people less interested in the whole genre, because if they end up not liking it, people will just burry them alive. But I'm glad that the majority of this fandom is actually very nice, understanding and welcoming. Vast majority of us are adults, so we do use our brains before we talk (usually lol). Even I am sometimes scared to share my opinion on something because of the stans that would come after me. But thank you for giving these guys a chance despite the negative backlash you recieved. I do understand that for a complete newbie songs like Butter and Dynamite might seem like "just another pop song" and "just another typical boyband". We, fans, don't see it this way of course because we know the guys and we know that with these two songs they weren't aiming for a deep song with meaningful lyrics, but those who have never seen them before don't obviously know this stuff, so it shouldn't be a surprise that comments like yours will appear here and there. BTS truly aren't "a typical boyband" and they have helped millions of people around the world, so thank you for diving into them and spreading their name and message.

New subscriber here love your reactions. Can't wait to see more BTS reactions

Yes! Just do what you do and have a great BTS journey! Borahae 보라해 💜

Hi, I am back. Nice reaction, ty. This is a disco pop song. They are exploring the new genre of music Bruno Mars and others are creating. So the clothing is connected to the old sound of the song. They don't use a lot of CGI. This was a set built in Korea because Covid u know. They have behind the scenes vids. You should check those out. Their choreographer adores MJ and so do they all. So yep lots of MJ references. Oh, haha nice! BTS and the universe are tight. Lots and lots of coincidences or not. Just cool synchronicity man. Ty for sharing that story with us. =0) So glad you had fun. The guys do reenergize you. They are amazing. stay safe. --Army NY USA 💜

Found this after watching your reactions to SB19, but hey I'm an Army too. So yeah :) glad to hear you put some people to their places. Borahae and Salamat!

Great attitude! At least this journey motivated you. Cheers. Good vibes! Borahae!

For every Idol there are toxic fans. There are people trying to enforce their thoughts to others. Like there are always "Karen" & "Ken" you encountered at least once in your life time. Anyway, as an ARMY, call BTS whatever you want as long as being honest to yourself. If you are prejudice against the boys, I just simply walk away and don't bother to watch your channel, that simple. Anyway, have watched your reactions mamy times already and you have quite a wide range of music genres. Good, there are good singers and songs all over the world. Korean singers like So Hyang, Guckkasten, Park Hyoshin, Naul, are worth listening and many more. There are also Filipino Singers like Lea Salonga, Morisette, Katrina Valede, "Wish Bus" Radio, etc. I highly recommend So Hyang, such a good spirit singer.

11:39 someone probably anwered you but if not, the retro clothes are just for Dynamite because of the retro disco theme but also it was and is in fashion so the clothes in this scene is mostly the then (summer 2020) latest Gucci collection and some of the other luxury brands like Louis Vuitton etc.

Very well said!

Just subscribed to you because I’m curious to see your BTS journey. I really hope you do check out their other music. You will be pleasantly surprised at how versatile they are.

Enjoying !!!!

Dude, good on you to expose yourself to something new. BTS is great and I love all sorts of music including heavy stuff. Do you (which is a song by RM). I think folks may have issue with you saying it doesn’t make you feel anything which is not what you meant in a way. Joy, excitement, happiness are feelings. I think you meant it wasn’t have a deep resonance for you which is cool. Happy stuff: Tiny desk live performance. Shows off their voices and personalities. 3 songs. Boy with love Idol Other deeper songs: On. Do the manifesto version Black swan Fake love Life goes on Hip hop: Mic drop Fire Dionysus Rap: Cyphers Ugh Ddaeng The rap line has a lot of solo stuff but tide should help you get introduced. Have fun, they’re really versatile artists.

Hi! new sub here 😅 thank you for this reaction. I saw ur 1st bts reaction of Butter and it was nice coz its ur 1st time hearing them too so it was understandable hearing all what uve said, so keep going. just ignore those who stans 😂

Kudos to you for making this video. People are always gonna find things to complain about. I'm an ARMY and I welcome you to BTS! There was a time I didn't know everything either and that's okay! Enjoy the journey.

Your reaction and comments are valid, some stans or Army can be over protective of the boys bec of so much hate and prejudice BTS have experienced for so long. Plus there will always be cultural differences among fans so we make it a point to be respectful of each other's differences. Just continue to share your reaction videos bec I'm personally enjoying the journey with you 😊. Michael Jackson's nephew, Taj Jackson, acknowledged BTS for the boys' tribute to MJ for this video. I suggest you also watch the MMA 2020 where BTS did a Dynamite Dance Break with reference to MJ's "Dangerous". The whole performance of BTS was awesome and it's not even a concert, it was just an award show. Borahae from the Philippines 💜.

@9:39, ish...I am totally getting WHY you are so excited about them!! And those "MJ" moves...I think he'd even approve 👍💯🙌✌️🤙ps he so even started it with the shaking of his hand n the 'hair-combing' thing btw!! Totally nailed it too 👍

In Korea, the big production companies hold auditions all the time and put together groups/trainees. These young kids go through months and even years of full time training for a chance to "debut" on Korean tv shows/radio. Some of BTS trained for 2 years before they debuted. Music company even sent JK to LA for dance training before they debuted.

Why people always do their more poppy stuff first like come on 😭😭 They have a vast and diverse discography, the two english songs they ever made (which are Butter and Dynamite) are just feel good songs because 1. They wanted to cheer people during the pandemic, 2. Only one of them is fluent in English and 3. They really do dumb down Lyrics for the western audience I'm sorry It's funny because kpop is known to have dumb lyrics and kpop stans are known for discrediting BTS because their lyrics are, according to them, "too deep", and western Stans discredit them because their Lyrics are, according to them, "too shallow", so it's really just funny to me, cause either their lyrics are too deep or too shallow there's no in-between. The truth is, their Korean lyrics are extremely well thought out and well written, most say they sound very poetic-like, and that's because the main writter for BTS, RM (leader, rapper, producer, composer and songwriter) wanted to be a poet or writer when he was younger before discovering rap music or hip-hop, the other main writer, Suga (rapper, produced, composer, songwriter) wanted to be a composer and music producer before becoming a rapper. All the others also write and compose and have some kind of experience producing. They haven't done rock songs, they have songs with some rock inspirations tho, doing a blending of hip-hop and rock like Boy In Luv (notice the *In* in the middle because they have another song called Boy With Luv that is bubblegum pop lol) Danger and Dionysus. But their main genre was always hip-hop and they still do hip-hop to this day, although not having a main genre anymore. If you want thought provoking songs I recommend those two rappers mixtapes, RM's "Mono" (extremely exceptional work), AgustD's (Suga's solo alias) "D-2". As for BTS songs there are a lot, I'm not kidding, like, too much, when I say kpoppers talk bad about them because their lyrics are too deep I'm talking about 90% of their work, basically. Even their poppy stuff (Korean poppy stuff) have great lyrics, it's insane actually. Although one will never get how clever and beautifully written they are without learning Korean, a good website for lyrics translations is DoolSet Bangtan, they explain Korean expressions, slangs, song structure etc. I'll recommend some of my favorite songs from different genres that they've done for you to choose because it's easier than trying to find out what u like (besides rock): 134340 (kinda jazzy vibes, it reminds me of my country's popular music "MPB"), Rain (hip-hop and R&B), Ugh (heavy hip-hop), Fake Love rocking vibe remix (it's in the name lol u can do the original, but I think you would prefer this remix), The Truth Untold (ballad), Airplane pt2 (latin vibes), Dis-ease (old school hip-hop), Run or I Need U (pop/dance pop), Black Swan (trap hip-hop).

I think cos they’re not fans and this is really out of their comfort zone, so it’s like slipping into warm water first to get used to the whole idea of Kpop being more than just music or dance or song writing or performance hahaha i think it’s part of the fun to watch ppl start on light poppy stuff and once they start tasting BTS’s other stuff they get more and more impressed 😂😂 set the bar low, then hit them with the BTS style wham Bam

Welcome to the rabbit hole💜always appreciate an open mind, and a genuine, Honest reaction. That’s all we, the army, truly want. The army is massive, so the small loudest portion is still really big. While my first instinct on your last video was to go on the defense- as I know many did, because BTS shares a lot of themselves with us, so we in turn are super protective. I can recognize that in myself and take the time to re-listen to what u are trying to say. BTS is all about positivity, true army want to spread this message as well. Thank you for continuing, I have no doubt you will find a BTS song you love, there are so many!! My personal favorites-black swan, fake love, magic shop, let go & ugh (this one is only the 3 rappers) or old school hip hop BTS- try NO or 2nd grade. Everything they do is more amazing live. 💜💜💜💜

i dislike when people get treated like they are racist and haters when they actually just aren't exposed to this culture or many other cultures. People not knowing things or having questions that are phrased a certain way DOESN"T mean they are racist. I've seen lots of reactors when first seeing bts say they all look the same. thats because its harder to differentiate features of other ethnicities/races when you haven't been around them a lot. Then once you've seen BTS a lot, you're like wow, how could I ever mix up JK and JIN!? Im sorry you were treated this way.

This song top #1 at Billboard hot 100 last year they also won 4 awards at BBMAs 2021 last Sunday and Dynamite is the Top Selling Song..

@13:10, SAME HERE!! MTV was just about the only thing I watched back then 👍🤙✌️🤣🤦 So sad how bad it sucks now!!

ARMY is very protective of BTS because they mean so much to us and some go to far. You will find that most try to “re-educate” reactors in a nice respectful way and bring more joy into the world by spreading BTS’s message of love and acceptance but there are always those that give us a bad name by taking it to a personal level. Thank you for holding out and continuing to react to them.

This all the studio and visual

hi I'm new subscriber here.. i love how you react BTS being extra in america

"their use of color is really cool!" ....Boy with Luv supremacy YES SIR

yes thanks as well for understanding and learning their culture ☺️ I understand you were new to them this time yea koreans and us, asians in general likes the young and youthful looks… you’ll see it from makeup tutorials from asian muas as well… And I agree with western ppl wanting to look older and do actually look older esp the teens. We hav that notion as well towards western ppl from watching western entertainment.

Wow I found you second video! After the first one. I think you did a good job on the first play. But my first video of your channel was about 7 months later so I knew you were army. But still you made valid points Like the perfume dance There’s a footage of v making this move which was not a dance ! It was him at an award show Yes the colors are very cool I have a longer

The reason you most likely got grief is because some of what you said came across a little dismissive. BTS gets attacked a lot and went through some horrible mistreatment so the fans tend to be very protective. On another note related to trauma...people find BTS when they need them most. They have an incredibly positive message and their music is both deep, meaningful and with a message of self love.

You're so cute. I have reacted to your more recent BTS videos so I went back to the beginning of your journey. That ignorant kind of reaction is what a lot of new people to Kpop get... because they are honest. You were honest and I appreciated it SO MUCH! I hate that you had to defend yourself. Lots of KIDS are leaving those comments. They don't know how to see a reaction and not get defensive when the other person doesn't love it. I subscribed to you because I like your reactions. THANK YOU for the honesty. There are PLENTY fake reactors who laugh and love every bit of turd that they react to because they only want people to give them clicks and thumbs up. Bump that!

The toxicity of some fandoms is disgusting. Sometimes I wish their idols read how "cute" some of them behave in name of "love and passion".

@16:56, ish...I get it!! This is going to be stuck in my head ALL day 😂 I guarantee it!!!

You should check out their tiny desk performance :)

Did you say “jerkasaurusrex”?! I love it!

Hello im ARMY from Mexico 🇲🇽 thank you so much for your interest on know the BTS music I feel bad about the haters that attacks you, relax and get use to jajajjaja but let me tell you that they not are part of ARMY.

If you're looking for a BTS song that makes you "feel" I'd go for one of their korean tracks lol. Spring Day is a fan favorite and Epiphany is really a song that personally hits for me (although that's a solo song from their oldest member) I'd also recommend checking out other groups if you want to see more of the kpop sphere in general! Other than BTS, my favorite group is Seventeen (who're actually under the same label as BTS lmao) I'd recommend their songs HOME;RUN and Clap

Taj Jackson (MJ's nephew) praised Jimin for amazing tribute to MJ in the Dynamite MV, he said his moves reminds him of Michael Jackson. he also pointed some similarities between Jimin & MJ which are both perfectionist & strict with themselves on Jimin's bday MJ's official account tweeted JM & JK's "Black Or White" dance :)

Josh, I know that you did react to BTS, when I started watching your reaction to Dimash's performance. I just go through stuff and the vid of your 1st vid reaction to BTS, somehow I found it's interesting, so it go to this as second vid, listen to your comment, I understand your comment and agreed 100%, I am not going into BTS yet .. until recently as all news and song keep on pop up in my YT... slowly I learn about each one of them and it brings my respect to their journey... so love the effort and hard work being put into the performance. So..... anyway.. love your reaction and comments.... thank you

yes, that 5 minute rant is what people need to understand. i felt the same way when i first learn about them (i didnt even enjoy their music before) but they grew on me and so were some of their songs. so, yeah, throwing stones at a new person isnt helpful though many will still protect the boys with their lives in the line.
