I LOVE that you're entering the BTS world through the rap/rock door. So many people find them through the English songs, but I think those are so tame and not wholly representative of what the group creates. I agree with others...definitely watch the 2019 MMA award show performance of Dionysus...EPIC

Right?! Honestly when I first hear about them I thought they were just the really commercialized kpop band lol then I heard Tear and was like… WHAAAA?!?!? Totally different than I thought

So for Dionysus, you kinda hit it sool - is the Korean word for wine/alcohol Yesool - Korean word for art so they are doing wordplays here..basically they are getting drunk in their art and it no longer matters what anyone says, they know for themselves and those who believe them that they are true artists 💜 If you're amazed by their Not Today MV, wait until you get to Fake Love, Blood Sweat and Tears, Spring Day MVs..the cinematography is *chef's kiss* In Army world even the people behind them are considered rockstars and revered almost as much as Bts..Bang Pd (the big guy), their in-house producers (mainly Pdogg and Slow Rabbit), their choreographer/performance director Mr. Son, they are all much loved in the fandom 💜 it is all love in here 😊

Jin went crazy with belts in Dionysus, from 2nd octave low notes to high F#5 belt, he did live in Mots7 one online concert. Jin and V has a 4.5 octave range 2nd to 6th octave range. All thanks to Jhope for making the masterpiece Dionysus. There’s a bit autotune in Dionysus studio version but not in live. I sincerely hope BTS releases some real rock songs in their career.

I am 52 and grew up on rock and metal but BTS is my favorite group. There are no harder workers than these guys. Watching thier journey from the beginning and all thier struggles but still they are always humble and down to earth. The best documentary series out there put together by an ARMY is the rise of bangtan which is amazing and the fact its free when she should charge for it i would pay it is so good. I highly recommend it. BTS made vlogs of thier journey from before they debut so she put together all the vlogs into it to tell thier journey. Also they are even better live than the videos. I just saw them in Vegas last month hope they come to the east coast next time so I can see them again. You might want to start in order and go from thier debut which they started more as hip-hop and see thier journey to artists they are today then jumping all over. They also have a fictional storyline that runs through some of thier videos watching in order is probably best if you want to go down that rabbit hole. No more dream is thier debut mv.from 2013 They are so young Jungkook was only 15 when they debut. They did put out cove songs and other free content on SoundCloud before thiey debut too. Look forward to your journey down the rabbit hole it's huge.

Yes, they do have an amazing choreographer called Son Sungdeuk.

Sometimes, he also asks for help from other choreographers (because let's be real, when you're doing this for years, you need some more inspiration and help lol). Among the BTS members, Jhope is considered the "dance leader", because he directs their performances, always is on point, and helps the other members learn the moves.

Thank you for reacting to 2 of my favorite BTS songs. I was a teenager in the 70's, so I was spoiled by good rock music. Now BTS is my favorite group. Dionysus was written by J Hope. Not Today was written by RM. The begining of Not Today is from the 2nd Lord of the Rings:Return of the King and it is from Aragorn:'s battle speech. "Aragorn: "A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends, and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day, today we fight." But you know RM, he probably read it in the book not the movie. lol Also quoted: Martin Luther King Jr. said, “If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.”

I grew up loving music like Bon Jovi, Garbage, The Offspring, Guns 'n' Roses,... But I *NEVER* connected with a group the way I have with BTS. I think it's the combination of an inspiring positive message, unusual topics and inspirations, raw personal lyrics and their goofy fun-loving personalities. They're also not afraid to show that yes they do feel down, cry, argue and become exhausted *but* they persevere! In other words: They're human and relatable! And then there's ARMY...my purple family. The diversity is unmatched and I've "met" so many wonderful people from all around the world who've helped restore my very deflated faith in humanity. (Borahae guys 👋) But enough about me... If you think this mv is amazing - man, are you in for a treat or ten! 😅 And keep in mind that if it can be built, they probably did it. They only use CGI if it's absolutely necessary. Some mv imagery may seem a bit confusing, possibly because it related to the fictional storyline that connects a lot of their songs, but they can always stand alone. *Tips and recommendations:* -If you want subtitles on their older songs you need to get them from the KZread channel 1theK. It's just as official and safe to react to. - If ARMY blasts you with "You should definitely watch the explanation video" for a song or mv, it’s usually for a good/important reason. 😅 (like Spring Day, Ddaeng, Ugh!, Baepsae, ON,...) - And when you get to Fake Love treat yourself to the extended version as well - that's the rock vibe remix. 🤘😎👍 Excited to follow your BTS journey however long it may be... 💜 - a Danish ARMY, age 45

4:20 I think Dionysus is kind of a drinking song and kind of a song about making art. Like, on the surface it's about drinking and partying, but it's also describing it as an artistic process. Fall into the art like a glass of wine. Drink our music like it'll get you drunk. The band and their label has talked about that they always try to give listeners multiple layers. If you don't want to look deeper, you should still enjoy the song, but if you DO look deeper, you should find something there.

Some of their videos are insane with level of production (once BTS got popular enough to make their company some money to spend, LOL). For great production, plus still on the rap-track you've been on, maybe try Suga's solo persona, Agust-D, and his song/MV 'Daechwita' BTS have their own choreographer, but also use outside talent for choreo, too.

Like others have said they have a main choreographer Son Sung-deuk, he has been there from the start and used to occasionally back up dance or stand in for Suga(appendectomy) in 2015. J-hope has a lot of input and when the dancers do solo stuff they have added their own choreo in. They also have guest choreographers one of my favorites is Brian Puspos and more recently Sienna Lalau from LA's the Lab. She choreographed ON Kinetic Manifesto Film Come Prima which is killer my favorite MV next to Black Swan. It is a sick MV and I can't wait for you to see it, the drone shots and long takes are ridiculous. And isn't it nice to find out you are not alone? I'm not a metal head but I did have a love for British Punk music in the 80's. I am always amazed that I love me some Led Zeppelin, Bowie, Radiohead and now BTS is my favorite, who knew.

I am now in my late forties and I stumbled across BTS 6 months ago and OMG, I have never been so impressed, engrossed and absorbed by this group. Its not just one thing because as many people have said already, its the quality of singing and dancing, the MVs, the live performances, the positive message, their personalities being down to earth and goofiness, the battles they faced from pre debut days to current. Most of this are uploaded on youtube. Its like watching a reality show but you will be able to see how a group is formed and have grown to be the success they are today.

Glad you like the MV for Not Today. BangtanTV has a shooting sketch for it. There's a copy over at Bangtan Subs with English subtitles. Good to watch to see how these guys really are. You will love Dionysus live. A few hours ago I caught a BangtanTV rehearsal video for Fake Love for the MAMA 2018 award show, where the arrangement is rock-ish with great guitar work. You would appreciate the sound for sure. You would also like watching it for its big group dance practice, with BTS plus backup dancers. (Jimin does a dangerous jump. Jimin's background includes black belt Taekwondo and eight years of Kendo or Kumdo. His skills and experience are why he's the usual member to do advanced dance tricks and aerials.)

@@JohnReavesLive Argh, not MAMA 2018. It's KBS Song Festival 2018. Sorry. Choreographer / Director of Performance Mr. Son shows up at about 0:25, khaki winter jacket, black hair with bangs and undercut. Link - kzread.info/dash/bejne/nI6Kk6WOaZjYfdI.html

Yay! Amazing triple reaction! They have an in house choreographer who had been with them from the beginning but he also works with or brings in outside folks since they have gotten bigger. JHope is the dance leader and also contributes his thoughts and help making this work for the team and Jimin as a lead dancer also contributes. The two work to make sure the less strong dancers get the choreography especially during performances. The dance line is currently JHope, Jimin, Jungkook, and V. Suga’s a surprisingly good dancer but he has had a shoulder injury since right before their 2013 debut that stopped him b-boying and he complains a lot about it but then will pop off some amazing moves (he finally got surgery end of 2020 for it and was out 3 months and omg did the other 6 miss him it was adorable). Jin and RM work their butts to the none to keep up and do so but it’s much harder for them to learn choreography. Dionysus is a hype song and I love the idea that they want us to join them getting drunk on art both making and consuming it, just a stellar hype message. One of their most intense choreographies. JHope actually was the producer for this song and he killed it writing this and then co-producing it with others. Not Today uses the Martin Luther King Jr quote “if you cant run walk, if you can walk crawl..” and this is about them but significantly it came out when Korea was having a lot of political problems and massive protests and it’s on the same album as Spring Day (the most significant ballad they ever wrote and the MV has so many hidden messages about a national tragedy where hundreds of children died so do not go into it without being in a good head space the MV is amazing movie like but the explanation videos have really upset many reactors and some can’t even finish it because of their anger over the corruption that led to it). So to me there is strong significance that during political unrest when they refer to a tragedy (urging this time speaking about the Sewol Tragedy could get you blacklisted by the govt) they have a song quoting MLK with a message to the underdogs to not give up and keep fighting and the choreography very vividly shows people being shot down. Many many people will request Spring Day I say tackle it when you are further along. Enjoy the journey time enough later for it. Can’t wait for the lives love your commentary!

Drink it up…. Awesome reactions to these songs. BTS has a song out there for whatever a listener is into. Most Army know all the song and versions of song and can ease you down the rabbit hole where you will find your taste in music change and you will like pretty much everything. Even stuff you didn’t like at first listen. The more you listen and understand the lyrics you will change your mind about it. 😉 Welcome to the BTS rabbit hole and Army is right here for you. As Jimin says: You nice, keep going! I have lived a long life and have listened to many different bands and gone to so many concerts growing up I have lost count. But honestly these guys are the best group I have listened to. There are other Korean groups out there that are trying to be like BTS but they just don’t have what BTS has. Oh now you have gone and done it, you watched one of their MV. Omgosh you are in trouble now. 🤣 Their videos even some of their old videos are like fricking moves and so good you do not want them to end. Everything in their MVs has a meaning to them and many of the MVs are connected. They have a message and tell a story. BTS has so much content out there it is unreal. If you want to learn more about their personalities check out Run BTS, In the Soop & Bon Voyage shows. These are true entertainers. The can sing, rap, dance, play instruments, artists like in painting, they can right music, they can produce music, they are smart, funny, but they are also down to earth, they are like brothers, best friends, they are family. If they have issues the discuss them as a group and resolve it as a good. They are not like any other group out there. Borahae 💜🇺🇸

I have been a Stan of BTS for years. Not today for me is my favourite song of theirs by far. I can never listen to this enough. All their songs are masterpieces collectively and individually. But not today it hits me hard of all the times people try and use me and hold me. It's the perfect mantra NOT TODAY.

One of the things I really respect about them is that I never feel like a member is just ‘calling it in’ if they are not the featured voice. Not all songs fit all voices. Some songs just fit one member’s vocal range better than another, but all the members will work just as hard if they are in the front or the back. You see that, even more, in the live shows and practices. Then in the MV, if one person has a smaller singing part, you tend not to notice because that member still has screen time that makes them shine. So, hats off the Big Hit for not making one member more important than another. This is why I believe that each person will have a successful solo project. No one member has ever been more important than another in the production of the group’s art.

This means a lot to me because the words are my favourite part of any song! 🥰🥰 I have watched a lot of different people react to BTS and some of them I like and find interesting, but what I like the most about yours is I really appreciate your style of reaction - it's so interesting to me as it's how I would do it. 😅 understanding the Korean and the meaning is so important to me and I think we have that in common. Sorry long ramble but yes yes to understanding the lyrics

Hello there, I'm a few months late to this reaction, but I just found your channel. I'm so happy to see fellow metal heads and rockers falling on the BTS rabbit hole. I'm 34 years old and I remember a few years ago how much I refused the idea of listening to BTS. 3 years ago it all changed for me and I got interested to actually get to know them and their music, I haven't looked back since then. I realized how much they've worked to get to where they are right now, that they actually pay a lot of attention to every single song they put out, and not only that, but so far, I haven't seen/met any other group or band to have a sincere and really close relationship with their fans, to the point that they actually have several songs dedicated to them. I've been a rocker for a long time, I was obsessed with INCUBUS for years. I went to a few of their concerts, and even tho I love their music, I don't feel that same connection as I do with each one of the members of BTS. They not only care about their music and their art, but also about their fans, and the message they want to put out. I'm happy to say that I'm ARMY now. My friends tease me a lot because of it but I'm hopping that sooner or later they'll be a bit more open to it. Anyways, I'm excited to check out more of your reactions, greetings from the north of México! :)

Dionysus is about begin drunk on art... But this party song. Like you said it was god of wine, also dining, party and fertility, also warth (like people that dring and they are more on aggressive side), patron of arts.... The lyrics talk about drinking as metaphor for passion of art - music. You are parting and drinking and you will be drunk on art, it is addictive, but you still take another shot like addict (you as fan and you as artist himself). Hmm then in Suga rap he talks that they were born twice (like Dionysus) first as Kpop idol and then as an artist, but in the end it dosen't metter bc at this level of art (performances, concert, work- making music, fame), there are so into it that they feel only thirst for more. They sing to get drung on art and fall for this mad artist. In short this is what this song is about.... 😉 It is actually great metaphor and Dionysus is great example to use to talk about it. Hmm about dance they have choreographers, One is with them from begining, and some are like for one, two songs, hmm band also change things or decide of parts, especially Jhope also have a say, He is dance leader. About "Not today" the part with words like "if you can't fly run, if you can't run walk, if you can't walk crawl" they actually used Martin Luther King words... It is his quote used in lyrics - to not give up. Ahh such goid artists. I can't wait for lives, and I know a lot of people recomment award shows but I think it is better to see song live in normal seting then at award show, bc they do sometimes extra for this typ of performance and usually it us set if songs. Yeah they are epic but, the best to watch when you are "more ready" hehe. But that only advise, you can do what you want ;) They actually don't really have time for party life, and it is hard sometimes even to go out. They like drinking but more in close group, more clam mood, etc. So drinking up hmmm

dionysus lyrics are talking about getting drunk in art and fame. the further you read about its lyrics the cooler it sounds like it has veryyy interesting lyrics. and if you see the album sequence, it is dionysus+ shadow+ black swan. this makes perfect sense because dionysus talks about getting drunk in their art and fame, shadow talks about the negative effects of achieving such stardom and getting too obsessive with your art and then black swan talks about the fear of losing the passion for their art
