14 DAYS WITH BTS - DAY NINE: Epiphany, Idol, Persona and Boy With Luv reaction

[@DifferentlyAlike]

Hi everyone! Welcome to day nine of the series! We solved some issues but lmao like always new ones have arisen. Our studio time this week is severely limited and we are trying to figure out how to get back there soon. We will keep you in the loop for sure. So please don't forget to check our community tab from time to time. 💜💜💜 Obligatory copy paste haha: If you are new to our series, just a heads up, all days have been predetermined and or recorded. If you recommend videos for us they will get lost in the comment section but please don’t hesitate to leave them still for potential new army. Just know that it’ll be hard for us to keep track unless it’s on the final day of the series or in our discord server. Thank you so much for your patience! We really appreciate you and let’s have fun over the next few days okay 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I called Namjoon and Yoongi from day one. I thought you were gonna be three biased but that third slot bounced around a lot. But I knew Namjoon. His voice, dimples and eyes are killers and once you know his personality and mind, it's over.

As a South Africa Army ...I found bts in 2018 and when I saw Idol and them wearing suits made with African traditional patterns and them doing the gwara gwara that originally came from south africa ...I totally lost my mind ...till this day it's my little brother's favorite song from BTS ...

[@jannm3347]

Esosa mentioning African army literally had me crying!! Thank you so much. I'm from South Africa and we went to the Yet to come cinema showing with my friends, when Idol played we literally lost our minds. Crossing my fingers for 2025 SA tour. I would literally die if I ever saw Namjoon and all the boys in person.

[@lisonc.2043]

RM lyricism always resonate so deep, anything he writes just feels like it has so much meaning and lived emotions behind it truly makes me emotional Also Boys with luv is probably one of my favorite song, it's just my boost of serotonin, so cute and happy

[@snes_diary]

20:30 As a South African Army, I fell in love with BTS when Idol dropped. Having a Kpop group do a Gqom (one of the biggest genres in South Africa at that time) influenced song was absolutely insane🥹🥹

[@TheRavebo]

Jin’s epiphany both versions are my favorite. It’s my cry song because of how beautiful he sounds. It makes me miss him very much. The members are so talented.

[@heavenscloud_]

When you announced '14 days with BTS', I already knew that RM would be Esosa's bias lol

[@aishwaryaahirrao]

Same 🤣

[@porc13]

I still called Yoongi and he will continue to wreck havoc for Esosa I’m sure of it!

[@MyJooniverse]

When you know, you know. Joon has been my ultimate bias from day 1, and even though I've gathered 3 other biases in BTS (Jin, Hobi & JK) and go through phases of being focused on each of the 7 members, Joon will always be #1 ❤ Namjoon's music, lyrics, personality and intelligence are everything

[@bubu3194]

i suspect this is the story of all namjoon utted🥹🥹🥹 we see him and we just never let go, he's been forever since day 1

[@jeffreystone22]

The 2018 MMA show mixed in Korean dress and culture with this song. It was quite the production.

[@Asya062]

Agree on thoughts about Jungkook with Esosa - I understand why people found him sexy, manly and attractive etc. but it's really impossible to feel the same way because I saw him first when he was still a teenager and I was only a few years older than him, but still I was already an adult. I realize that now he's changed a lot and grown so much, has this style, tattoos and all, and that he's turning 26 this year, but all I see is a cute, very talented but still maknae boy, baby, not a daddy. 😁 I guess it really hits different for the younger Armys who are at least the same age or even younger than him. Although in NCT my bias also a 97'liner Jaehyun haha, but he debuted as an adult and I saw him first as an adult.

[@amywagers2306]

Ozlem you are doing such an amazing job! You two are so beautiful and seem like such lovely people! Thank you for this series!

[@kenzies.5375]

joon was my favorite since day one and it’s been 5 years and i’m still here sometimes u just know 🤩

Here I am. Bro,I'm addicted to this serie lol I was remembering the last time they were here in Brazil and performed Idol, since then this song has become like the "song of Brazil" for us cuz it was crazy all the energy, just like So What.

[@hers6694]

Man, I remember when Epiphany first came out. I was new to kpop and was having a hard time telling the members' voices apart, Jin and Jimin especially, but that song solidified everything for me. Also Idol was my first comeback with bangtan, so all of these songs hold a precious spot for me

I knew the moment Idol started and Esosa saw RM she was done for, lol.

[@timothywest1183]

What I had heard about this video was that BTS didn’t use green screens and army was kind of bragging that they never ever use green screens so almost as a joke, they not only use green screens, but just took it completely over the top and had an unbelievable amount of fun with it

[@deborapakpahan1819]

Imma be honest 8 yrs being an army, hv never really seen JK's abs that clearly So when i saw the KC photoshoots and videos. I literally screaming and crying and got goosebumps and speechless. Like literally haunted. I was traumatized

[@minkeytalk]

The diary that Jin picks up off the table is the red diary that the girl dropped when she ran across the railway tracks. He seemed to repeat himself a lot showing the loops that he goes through, I won’t say anymore because it is BU

My life as an BTS army changed once I listened to Epiphany. That song is everything to me. The way I used to cry everytime I listened to that song and now I feel nothing but surreal LOVE IT

[@MinSugaCheonjae]

If you love BTS's music, you HAVE to love Namjoon because he is the major creative force behind their music. The other rappers also contribute a lot to the music. The vocalists contribute too on a smaller scale. But the majority of it is Namjoon. His ability to feel and articulate the things that he felt is beyond amazing. Even when you watch his interviews or livestreams, you can feel that he is a person who possesses an exceptional mind. And I truly believe that he is one of the reasons why the rest of the BTS members turned out to be so humble and down-to-earth. He is such a good person and he is a great influence on his team I think. That's not to say that the other members weren't good people to start with. I just mean that Namjoon influenced them positively as a leader.

[@Bri_x3]

if namjoon is actually esosas bias i can’t wait for the black swan reaction. he is goddamn gorgeous in it, she might explode 😂

I believe the book Jin picked up was the girl’s diary he picked up in the highlight reel. He was returning the book and no longer using it to try and change himself to what she wanted. The rain going backwards indicated another time travel. His taking the book broke the cycle. He accepted himself.

The notes aren’t literally BTS’ notes nor their personal thoughts, it’s the notes of the characters from the storyline. If you guys ever want to actually learn abt the BU storyline (up to the map of the soul series I believe) xceleste is a huge theorist/BU ARMY and she summed up everything (MVs, VCRs, Notes, games, SAVE ME webtoon, etc) in a single video.

I'm African and as far as i know no Kpop group has ever done a concert or anything here and there are alot of African kpop fans as far as i know BTS is the only group that knows we exist at this point it hurts when other continents get to enjoy the privileges of going to concerts and seeing their kpop group live I feel that they shouldn't call it a world tour if they are always going to exclude Africa When i watched this MV for the first time i was so happy that BTD atleast know we exist. I have many international kpop friends so when they talk about seeing their idols live i can't say a word cause its almost impossible for that to happen at least in my lifetime One of my life's wishes is that i attend a kpop concert i don't care if im at the last row I hope one day Kpop will recognize us

Yup totally understand how you can fall for RM...and jhope...and Suga...and jimin! Lol!

[@peerlesscucumber9522]

i think for idol back then it was more the fact that other kpop fandoms were mocking bts for being "westernized" at that time with how big they've gotten. and we conspired that this song or mv is a clapback that says "what was it you said, again? that we're westernized? YO MAMA." with how many korean cultural references in both the song and music video.

[@ashleyme270]

Love this reaction! Esosa taking everything in while Ozlem is doing a rap MV lol she's me while showing my non-Army friends new releases 😂

IM SO HAPPY SO HAPPY NAMJOON IS LOVE NAMJOON IS EVERYTHING WAIT TA LL YOU SEE HIS PERSONALITY

[@LkLk-eq1xl]

Namjoon always wanted to be a poet thats why he chose rapping because of the poetry

[@Asya062]

Not surprised at all that Esosa's bias is RM! I think she was noticing him since day 1 or 2 already. And I am sure that by the end of the day 14th Namjoon will definitely be staying her bias still, it's not something that can change easily just because other members have strong sides too. I understand why Ozlem has insisted for Esosa to wait until the end of the series, but I guess it doesn't work this way. Esosa liked RM and she explained perfectly why, and from now on she will be subconsciously focused on him, this is how biases work. My bias is totally Suga, his personality and wisdom are the win-win for me, and well, he's hella handsome too, but RM is a bias wrecker for almost the same reasons. If you think about it, Yoongi and Namjoon's personalities are the most similar among the members, their world views, maybe that's why. Agree with Esosa, intelligence is the new sexy.

- Epiphany live hits different though. It *litterally* saved my life! It was my second BTS song and I bawled my eyes out the first time I heard it. I really needed that message at the time. It inspired me to make some difficult but much needed drastic changes to my life, it's become my life mantra and made me ARMY for life. - 11:50 That's exactly what's happening with J-Cole fans at the moment. 😂 Sooo many of them have started their own BTS journey now. - The suits they're wearing in Idol is actually African Ankara print so them using those suits at a concert in South Africa would've been EPIC! - 58:40 Özlem, pleeease tell me you have the 2018 MAMA speech lined up for her somewhere along the line. 🙏 (And on a whole other side-note... Esosa you have one of the best, most infectious laughs I've ever heard. We're talking Jin- and Hobi-level infectious. 😂👍)

[@Socialmediawontchangemyopinion]

Can I just say Esosa is me every time Namjoon comes on screen. She gets every little detail that some others can miss and I love it. Like at 14:34 😂 Idol is probably on my top 5 favorite BTS songs. It’s helped me so much. 💜 and yesssss Joonie bias! Another one! Haha love it. Also you really don’t have to have a bias.

[@cche16]

idol was definitely a clap back to the antis who said they lost their korean roots and craved western validation too. the song and mv are heavily inspired by traditional korean culture and pride. the korean instruments, slang and modern hanboks. their live performance of idol at mama was a statement because the k-industry accused them of being sell outs and desperate for western acceptance because of their achievements in the west so bts celebrated their culture and switched up the idol beat to be all traditional beats/dances/costumes. now every group wants to top the billboard chart and win american awards bts won years ago lmao. idol was also heavily inspired by south african/afro-beats too. they even did the gwara gwara which bts have mentioned.

Hello, I'm enjoying this series so much. This is exactly how my journey of introducing bts to my bestie would have been. Esosa my bias and wrecker are joonie and yoongi, but I don't know who's who. They keep on switching roles. So all I would say is good luck with your game😂

I think the idol MV was over the top because a lot of haters always mocked BTS and claiming that they used a lot of CGI in their MVs so when this MV dropped it was more of a f you to haters and basically saying they don't care what they think of them ....and suga even wore a sweater with snow-white on it to show that he is proud of his pale complection
