A diplomatic passport means they travel anywhere and bypass almost all normal travel regulations. To put it into perspective, only high government officials typically get access to diplomatic passports. BTS are so incrdible in the things they've accomplished.

[@ruthfischer7615]

They had one for a short time only but a diiplomatic passport also means diplomatic immunity so they are usually temporary (they had to give it back a few weeks (?) later) and carefully controlled. They traveled during covid-restriction with the SK president to be part of the SDG (Social Development Goals) moment at the beginning of the UNGA. The funny thing is that the UNGA had specifically asked the SK president for them but since BTS has rather packed scheduls they were unsure if BTS could fit the event in NY in. The members saw it as their duty to be there. They are one of less than 10 artists that sang in front of the UNGA politicians as well being the first with a full oerformance filmed at the headquaters for "Permission to Dance".

Jin is not cocky at all, or other people would sometimes use words like "narcissistic" or "love himself too much" to describe Jin. He's actually one the shy shy or quite guy of the group, especially in their early days, but he keeps that aside to lighten up the mood when they're in an interview or a show. If people just give him a little time to get to know him, they will know where Jin is coming from. He promised himself and the army that he would show the better side of him. I like the reaction, i hope you can react more. Not just their music and lyrics are good, but also their personalities, which is why the army loves them 💜

[@duniabarecka7404]

“This guy is cocky” quite the opposite actually. Jin has a lot of complexes but he also has an amazing life motto (one of), “gather all the embarrassment and it will become courage”. He always tried to be the best oldest brother for his members, he took an amazing care of them when they were bunch of kids far from home, even tho nobody told him to and he himself was only 19 then. He calls himself “worldwide handsome” as a gag since when they first went to the States and he was surprised foreigners find him handsome too (Korean beauty standards are different than western)

[@carolcrooks7018]

Korean age is actually 1 or 2 years older compared to international age. So when they mention their ages, our age system..they are younger. Like JK 15 in Korean age - but a young 13 in international age. They were still kids!

The ultimate underdogs becoming the biggest band in the world. They are doing solo work now because they are gradually entering the Korean military for their mandatory service. Two members (Jin and J Hope) are already enlisted, the others will follow shortly. They will reunite as BTS in 2025 when they all finish the enlistment. The stadium pics are from different places around the world. BTS uses the biggest stadiums available, and always sells out. It's a fight to get tickets. Wembley in London is one of the biggest in the world, and it holds 90,000 people. BTS sold out 2 nights in a row there, and could have sold out a third night with the people still wanting tickets, but the schedule couldn't fit.

[@carolcrooks7018]

JHope was the first of one to do a concert on his own. He did Lalapalooza last summer. Held his own for an hours. 120,000 tickets sold, millions watched online! Broke ticket sales record! I gave to say, it was my favorite concert of an single artist in my life! I have watched the whole hour concerns DOZENS of times. He blew us away. Of course Suga just finished a world tour. Amazing as well! All the guys working on solo projects- RM -Jin - JHope - Jimin - Suga all broke records. Jk has just started with his. His new single SEVEN is #1 on the billboard still! Jimin up there as well. SEVEN is a little explicit, no kids in the room 😅 especially the dance version. 😅

[@ruthfischer7615]

​@@carolcrooks7018 Lollapalooza is a festival not a concert and his show as a headliner took ca. 75 minutes not hours. Nevermind that he sold more than the other artists - helped to sell-out sunday first, a day notorious not to - but quiet a few of those fans also watched other artists. It is tricky to say how many came for Hobi and the numbers are guesses as numbers that high are never accurate but there were a LOT of people. Suga/Min Yoongi actually performed his last song "The Last" a few hours ago. His last guest was RM/Kim Namjoon with a new unnamed song. The day before Jimin was there and performed and on Friday JK was with him on stage. A few hours ago also Jin and Hobi were watching the show. Seven was still in the top 10 in the second week after debuting at number 1 and congrats for that! (also broke a World Record or two)

[@mafe1220]

36:05 No, they debut as a 7 member group, and then start doing music. The videos explains like the first to join was Rm and the second Suga.. Etc, because in kpop there is a training period whre the agencies decides which trainees (the ones that pass the audition) will get to be a member of the band. ❤❤

[@jeniferlucero2030]

just to add.. the training that these idols go through is no joke.... they train for years and years some even train for 5 years before being allowed to debut if at all. In BTS, the longest training period was 3 years... from RM who was scouted and started in BTS in 2010 together with SUGA and months later they were joined by J-Hope.

[@ruthfischer7615]

@@jeniferlucero2030 J-Hope was signed first but only later attached to the project moving into the dorm on the 24th of december 2010. Jimin had the shortest training period with about half a year till it was decided who would debut. From than it is still about half a year to their debut but they were already posting blogs and dance practices on social media. Nevermind that I think the members actually worked harder and longer than even the trainees of the top companies. There is a reason why they had no Idol friends for years. The funny thing is that there monthly evulations who stays/is good enough to debut in the group but Big Hit didn't cut the bottom three "trainees" at all.

[@imajinallthepurple]

To put their succes a little into perspective: - When they gave four concerts over two weekends in Las Vegas in 2021 the entire city was bathed in purple lights and dubbed Borahaegas, restaurants and hotels had BTS themed rooms and menus and there were BTS exhibits, pop-up shops and fountain shows all over the city. They held their concerts at Allegiant Stadium as well as simultaneous live-play shows of the concerts at MGM Grand Garden Arena; sold out both of course. - Approximately 400,000 people came to their 10 year anniversary fireworks show in Seoul in June this year (not even a concert/performance). - They're as big as the 10 biggest other K-pop groups combined. - They alone are responsible for approximately 0.4 % of the South Korean national economy. - Just one concert of theirs in Korea is estimated to have attracted almost as many visitors to the country as the entire Olympics in Seoul in 2018. So yeah, they're pretty big! 😅👍 💜

And for the 10th anniversary BTS weren't even there physically... only RM made an appearance for a short duration. The estimated attendance was 200,000 but double of that people came. Also despite so much crowd, there were 0 casualties, no riots or any sort of trouble, and after the event was over the venue was absolutely clean because armys cleaned up after themselves and didn't leave any thrash behind.

Jin calls himself world wide handsome because in Korea he is considered very handsome and he was surprised that world wide he is also considered handsome so it started as a joke that he is handsome all over the world. He is shy really but says things like that to make people laugh and lighten the situation.

[@journeyonpaper5462]

They trained two years before debuting in 2013 as BTS. Jungkook (youngest) was in middle school when he signed with the company and debut at 15 yrs as BTS main vocalist. All members bring something to the group. The rapline have curse in their mixtape and cypher meddles. What set BTS apart from others in the K-pop industry is their involvement with creating, writing, & producing their music. Also the topics and versatility in the genres they tackle. They’ve been together for 10 yrs and are now embarking on new journeys (solo music/ albums) as artist; as they look to serve their mandatory military enlistments before coming together as a group somewhere in 2025.

@@WellNo-jm3fw bby gang mag has a video essay called "you are wrong about K-pop" which holds some of your sentiment. But doing all that is still rather rare even as it becomes a little more commen. Subject and how much is done is important and immitation can lack sincerity. I know Stray Kids rapline are officially full members of the KOMCA since the beginning of this year and write at least their own verses (as rappers do). The song lyrics I have read from them were not that deep but maybe I was just too tired, choose the wrong songs or something to understand them as something deeper. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I think Seventeen is even more self-produced than BTS but I have no idea about their lyric subjects. (their label PLEDIS wasn't actually one of the better labels but now that they are under HYBE and older - IDK) Mind you from oberservation many groups are still not part of the creation process or can choose their music direction. I have no idea how that works with new artists in the West in e.g. Pop - so I can't compare that either. You nice! Keep going!

[@johnnyblaze1098]

In the Kpop industry, almost all idols enter as a trainee where they learn to rap, sing, dance, speak Korean, etc. A lot of idols come in raw and LEARN to become professionals and they spend YEARS training EVERY DAY for almost 6 days a week for 10-12 hours a day. Sometimes MORE. Which is why the talent level in this industry SHITS on the talent we have here in the states. For example, Jin didn't start singing seriously til he turned 21 and look where he is now vocally. I wouldn't say Jin is the most naturally gifted singer but I WILL say he's one of the most dedicated and hardest working. Same with J Hope, and how he learned to rap from RM and Suga.

[@rockbison]

i beg to differ on the "shits on the talent we have here in the states". what we lack here in the usa is strong teamwork and putting the team first, but let's be honest, our best talent in the usa is hard to match. problem is you can't get 7 bruno mars or beyonces to stay and work together as a team like bts.

@@rockbison You can beg to differ all you want. You guys can have your Ice Spice and Lil Pumps. Your Olivia Rodrigo, Jack Harlow, Taylor Swift, Bieber, Machine Gun Kelly, Drake, Lana Del Rey, Tekashi 69, Cardi B, DJ Khaled, Pitbull. Look at your artists that grace your top artists list every year. TRASH. OVERRATED. OVERHYPED. The best and most talented artists in the US puts out an album once every 3-5 years (IE: Timberlake, John Legend, Bruno Mars, Kendrick). Probably even longer. When was the last time ANY of these guys put out an album? So yes. It SHITS on it here. Maybe cuz the way they find talent here is off KZbin, Disney Channel or at a strip club. I'm lookin at you Ice Spice and Cardi B. Give me a break.

And J-Hope helped RM and Suga with the dance. It is mutual cooperation. Currently, all three rappers are already at such a level that they each have their own unmistakable amazing style that makes them the most interesting artists in k-pop.

71 year old BTS ARMY here. The cursing is mostly limited to the rap line doing solo mixtapes, singles, live performances, and albums but not BTS as a group. They keep the name of BTS pretty wholesome. However, recently some of the vocalists have done it also in their solo projects. Jin always jokes around about his good looks and took the World Wide Handsome name with humor. They also have "in house" songwriters and producers that they work with for some songs. Thanks you two! ( That's the number you got right....TWO because you said V twice! You had Jin right and then changed him to the second V in the final lineup. 😂) 💜

3 out of 7 at first, but your final was 2 out of 7 😊, but we can all relate. There is a learning curve matching the name with the face. I’m impressed you remembered all their names. Really enjoyed your reaction, and like both of you. Subscribed. I understand how you thought Jin was cocky, because I thought that, too, in the beginning. He was actually just explaining how he was discovered and the World Wide Handsome stuff he uses jokingly. You will love him as you get to know him. 😊 I learned something new yesterday when I watched JungKook on Suga’s show, Suchwita. Suga said that JungKook had never sung before becoming a trainee. So he can be added among those who had no experience as a trainee. Also, when he’s talking about age, he is talking about a Korean age. He was 13 or 14 living with them as a trainee abs 15 when they debuted. When you think about it, only RM and Suga had rapping experience and J-Hope and Jimin had dance experience. The others were just talented kids eager to work hard and learn. By the time the debuted J-Hope and JK had learned to rap, and Jimin, V, JK and Jin all found they could sing… each brings a distinct texture to the vocals. I think having the different dancing skills that J-Hope and Jimin brought helped elevate all the guys in their dancing. I love them all. Someone who has been Army can correct me if I misspoke here… and if so, I’ll edit and correct my comment. 😊 They do curse some, especially in their solo songs.

I love Jin. :) I think I wrote it above, but JK didn’t sing, dance or rap either in the beginning. I knew he didn’t dance or rap, but I thought he had experience in singing. It surprised me when I heard Suga talking about it yesterday on his program. :)

[@sbbs207]

While Jk can somewhat rap (and I'm sure he can be a decent rapper if he learns) he didn't actually learn to rap. Also the reason why Jk did not make it in the talent show was because while he had talent, it was all raw and not harnessed. He learned to harness it after he became a trainee. I am glad though, if he had gotten selected, he wouldn't be in BTS rn.... 😊😊😊😊

[@melbellTexas]

Great reaction video. BTS is not your ordinary group. The members are brothers and have a unique bond that can be seen in their videos. They lived together for more than 10 years up until 2020/2021 when they got their own place. BTS did not start producing music until all 7 were together, but each has solo music too even in their own albums. You will notice that there is no competition energy, envy or jealousy amongst them they even support each other in their solo projects. Their bond is indescribable really. Some thing to know is that their first name is actually their last name. They put their last name first, for example KIM TAEHYUNG is Taehyung Kim to us. (Hope this helps) Their age is also different because up until this year Korea was using a different age system. So Jungkook was actually 13 years old when he joined BTS but because of their system they added 2 years to his actual birth. (I know it don't make sense but they finally are using the international age system like all of us) As you keep learning about BTS you will understand more about them and ARMY. We are super over protective of them but with reason. They have worked hard to get to where they are. And as you explore, you will see that BTS is still humble and have not allowed fame get to them. I would suggest you also watch their RUN BTS episodes, Bon Voyage, BTS in the Soop and even V's In the Soop: Friendcation. They also have lots of behind the scenes videos and their dance practice. I know you mentioned about the friend V had gone to support in the audition but V ended up getting picked. That friend turned on V and ended up saying some nasty things so you can say they are no friends at all now. Here is the list of oldest to youngest Jin, Suga, J-Hope. RM, Jimin, V (Taehyung), JK (Jungkook) In the pic you tried to name them, Starting with V (Taehyung) - brown suit, Suga - white suit, Jin - tan suit, JK (Jungkook) - blue suit, RM - brown suit, Jimin - blue suit, J-Hope - white suit. Can't wait to see more reactions from you guys. 💜Borahae💜

They do hire outside choreographers (American Siena Laulau is a favorite) to put together their dances... Originally they used an in-house choreographer, but as they got bigger and bigger, it became too much for just that one choreo manager (Son Sung-deuk, a legend we love) they began hiring outside choreographers too

I've never seen a WHOLE group as talented as a group and individually as BTS, incredible! East or west, have not seen any group as talented as them, gone through as much as them & still focus on bringing positive messages to people/fans. Never seen a group truly love each other like family as much as they do. Doing individual projects now, seeing their support for each other is awesome and touching. They are so talented; write songs, compose, produce, dance, they truly master their craft, no shortcuts, no fake media play to make them look bigger than they are (media actually down plays their success often). They truly are grateful for ARMY (their fan base), they show their fans their gratitude. I absolutely love BTS & ARMY. (I don't know if I could say I'm ARMY, but I support BTS & ARMY).

[@beccal.5369]

Helpful hint for the guide: Not sure if you know.... Korean people counted age differently to others... Korean Age vs International Age - difference is 1-2 years depending on if their birthday has been.... In most older videos, including this guide, they are giving Korean ages so you will need to adjust. The members were only 13-18 years old when they became trainees and 15-20 yo when they debuted. In Korea when you are born you are considered 1 year old. Then on 01 Jan every year you add another year to your age, no matter what your birthdate is. .... Year of birth - International age at Debut on 13June13 (Year and age became trainee) Jin 1992 - 20 yo (2011 - 18yo) Suga 1993- 20 yo (2011 - 17yo) Suga started with MIDI at 11 JHope 1994 - 19 yo (2011 - 17yo)JHope started dancing at 8 RM 1994 - 18 yo (2010 - 15yo) RM started rapping at 11 and was well known in the underground scene at 13 Jimin 1995 - 17 yo (2012 - 16yo) V 1995 - 17 yo (2011 - 15yo) JK 1997 - 15 yo (2011 - 13yo) JK signed with big hit at 13yo Rule of thumb - if it's before their birthday - subtract 2 years to get international age. if it's after their birthday - subtract 1 year to get their international age. EG: TaeHyung (V) born 30 Dec 1995 ...... current International Age 27 (Korean Age 29). ... 2 years difference So Tae born 30 Dec 95 is 1 year old, then on 01 Jan 96 he is 1 more year older (so they would say he is 2 years old, when we would say he is 2 days old.) So he was considered 29 in Korea since 01 January, we would say he is 27 turning 28 in Dec. It's a different way of looking at age, from new years day - Tae is living his 29th year (since conception) - instead of - he turned 27 (since birth).... The Korean Government has recently (June28) brought in international age as the standard in Korea, but all older videos/ interviews/ shows, will be referencing Korean age. 💜Have a great day

Not quiet true. They got older with the LUNAR New Year which is a bit later.

BTS is a 7 member group who is now in their 10th year with a 350+ track discography largely written and produced by the members themselves conjoined by their inhouse producers. The leader 'RM' has 210+ credits making him the youngest most credited artist in Korea and the rest of the members are not far behind. BTS is known for being extremely profound at articulating what they introspect and composing it into the sound they with their artistic knowledge believe will deliver the emotion of their lyricsm. They began with their roots in hiphop but have experimented their way into currently having above 10+ genres in their discography with the main being hiphop, pop, r&b and electronic, but majority of the time its a fusion of these genres, or their subgenres. Like latin pop, old school hiphop with boom bap, rap rock, dance pop, ballads, emo hiphop, jazz etc. Since they articulate so well, their music is very human oriented adressing extreme mental health issues (all they way from comforting, motivating, to eery delivery with raw mvs that youtube asks for viewers discretion), sociopolitical commentary etc. Their discography shows the growth from school boys to the tribulations of youth, to addressing temptation, to reaching maturity, to loving onself, to finding the core essence of the mind (i work in the field of psychology and i have yet to find an artist that is as profound as bts in accurately potraying psychological themes) to fighting the pandemic to now doing solo albums as each of the bts members complete their mandatory military. They will come back as a group in 2025!

Nice reaction! Photo is V, Suga, Jin, JK, RM, Jimin, J-Hope. You guys did a good job, though! It takes time. :) Looking forward to seeing more of your BTS journey!

[@SuperQueenmommy]

Stumbled across your channel..57 yr old Army here. Watched these guys grown from teenagers into some of the most humble talented gifted artist and young men the world has to offer💜 The vlives are so much fun.. RM just comes and hangs out with us Yoongi comes and usually gives us such uplifting words J-Hope usually dances for us Jin cooks and eats with us JK takes song requests and gives us a mini show V does so many different things Jimin builds arts n crafts with us RM is a lyrical genius, especially the way he uses wordplay even between languages, composers using different beats flows rhythms.. He's also the only one who does not have a driver's license Yoongi is my bias and I love how he's so savage.. He seems like a very cold and distant person but he's very caring and loving J-Hope is a phenomenal dancer and just recently headlined at Lollapalooza.. Hobi is the sunshine of the group Jin was cast on the street getting off the bus that's true, it has happened twice to him... He did not sing or dance at all before he became a trainee.. Jungkook was only 13/14 when he joined as a trainee, he loves his brothers and Army so very much, loves to take risks, he's pitch perfect and talented in so many things. He's called the "golden maknae"because he's just good at everything he does🤷 V was hidden because the company feared he would be approached by other companies because of his striking good looks.V's voice is like a river of melted chocolate and his vocal range is amazing. He loves jazz and he feels like an old soul to me. He's very funny and spontaneous. Jimin is pure perfection when he dances, the feelings and emotions he's able to protray is amazing. He also had the shortest time as a trainee, around 7 months only. Army singing at Wembley stadium was amazing.. Not only did the Army sing young forever but they knew every word and sang it in Korean, a foreign language to most

[@imajinallthepurple]

59:00 They don't do it all themselves though. They have an amazing team behind them (some have been with them since the beginning) doing anything from make-up to choreography to producing to..... They do however have a say in the proces and they also contribute and integrate their own ideas. You should see them interact with the staff, it’s freakin adorable. There's absolutely nothing pretentious about them and they'll gladly socialize with members of staff on and off the clock or do practical chores alongside them. They're genuinely good people. 💜

[@taniasan4814]

they had a stadium tour, they played in a lot of stadiums

[@duniabarecka7404]

The stadium you kept asking about. I think it’s MetLife stadium in the US. But they sold out stadiums all across the world already years ago, before getting to their biggest hits (including Butter you heard), before releasing even 1 english single. They sold out 14 stadium dates in the US amid covid arising, they are one of very few artists in history who sold out Wembley Stadium - twice at that, stadiums in Latin America, Europe, Asia, even Saudi Arabia

[@ericaabrams8431]

RM taught himself fluent English by watching the tv show Friends!!!!!With subtitles and without he taught himself. That's why he sounds very American when he speaks English💜 SUGA is insanely amazing point blank. J-Hope is such an adorable person. He also was the lead act one night last year at Lallapalooza in Chicago on a Sunday night and broke attendance records. I'll stop going through each one bc they are ALL unreal and you will see it. They are some of the most beautiful human beings we have on this planet. Can't wait to see you watch their stuff 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

BTS as individual artists and in their solo works have more freedom of expression and reflect their own different styles of music as well as the language that they use... So they don't really curse when they make music as a group but if you see their solo works they most likely do curse😅 Because they are being more honest and more free to be themselves in their music🤣🤣..which we all as fans love to hear💜💜💜

[@mami11420]

While they have made a lot of huge achievements and are pretty much the biggest boy group, their impact absolutely going beyond music - I wish people would focus on the fact that they absolutely do love music. They love making music. It’s why they’re idols in the first place. Their talents are something I wish would be brought up more often first before naming all these achievements they’ve deservingly received. They’re very passionate about music and performing. They LOVE it. They worked for 10+ years straight, focusing on group work more than their own solo work (rap line has more solo work than the vocal line but it’s changing these days as their break from group work is allowing them to pursue individual projects, as well as military service). Everything they’ve achieved and accomplished is something to be very proud of but I need more army to speak on their passion and talents and love for music a bit more before listing achievements because to me it’ll make more sense, a bit, why they’ve achieved as much as they have. They’re all very genuine people and hands on with their music. Music is everything for them, and it’s changed over the years as they have grown up but still very much passionate about music. They’re not stuck in one box when it comes to music. Anyways, I’m gonna finish this video now 😂

It’s always very enjoyable to watch smart eloquent people discover BTS. There is so much valuable content available to all. I’m 60 years old and baby ARMY (discovered BTS in 2022 and down the BTS rabbit-hole, I went). These guys are so inspirational! I’ve learned tons about Korean culture, the business of k-pop and so much more. I never knew I could love rap, or songs that were only partly in English. Their live performances will blow your mind. Every song is a gift, especially if you take the time to look up the lyrics. True poetry. 💜💜💜 Borahae!

[@Rockermom59]

I enjoyed this reaction very much. Both of you seemed genuinely interested in BTS as a whole and as individuals. They are unique among the K-pop industry in that they write and produce all their own music (have since the beginning) and they grew from the grass roots level. In Korea, they started the group variety show, the one-on-ones with fans via V Live, KZbin, and now, Weverse, as well as using social media to communicate with those same fans. There is no other artist like BTS nor do I expect there to be again, and comparisons within the industry are unfair to them. They transcend K-pop (which just means Korean popular music). I'm a true witness to this, being a 63yo woman that found them after a lifetime of mainly rock'n roll and alternative music. They changed my life and I'm grateful to have them during my lifetime. I'm excited to go on this journey with you. There's so very much to discover. Thank you for entering this rabbit hole. You will be rewarded, trust me. 💜

[@foreverwereyoungarmy5657]

All the members have solo songs too. I will mention only few of each members' solos( The solos they released after debuting as soloists) RM- Wild Flower, Still Life ( This is a b side) Jin- The Astronaut Suga- Haeguem, Amygdala(this is also a b side), People pt.2, Daechwita( This is released before he debuted as a soloists but this is a banger so i have to mention this too) J Hope- More, On the Street, Arson, Chicken noodle soup ( this song also released before he debuted as a soloist, a banger like daechwita) Jimin- Set me free pt.2, Like Crazy Jungkook- Seven V hasn't debuted as a soloists yet his album will be coming on end of August or early September. U guys can check out then. He has a deep, warm and a soulful voice. OSTs of BTS and members BTS- The Planet V & Jin- It's definitely u ( V acted on the Tv series of this OST) V- Christmas Tree, Sweet Night Jin- Yours Jungkook- Stay alive ( produced by Suga) Jimin- Angel pt.1, Angel pt 2, Still with u Suga -Lilith Any of the members aren't on the Mvs of these OSTs( except in Stay Alive).

[@msmichellewinchester]

As someone who used to dance, you don't necessarily remember the choreography, your body does. You practice over and over until the movements are automatic, so you can then concentrate on putting in emotions, finishing your movements all the way and details like that. You know how you tie your shoes without thinking about which particular movements you need to do? It's like that. If you need to think about which steps to take, you haven't practiced enough, basically. Also, if you're on stage and you start thinking about the movements, you're probably gonna screw up. You have to trust your body to go from move to move smoothly on it's own.

I watch them every day just for the smiles and of course love for their music. For me personally, I love their solo work and their earlier songs as my genre is R&B. However, I also love and appreciate each member for their own individual uniqueness.

[@loredell]

7:50 1.33 paid viewers means you could pay for the ticket and watch with your family/friends at home, so probably around 50M watched the concerts. Yes, it's a lot of money, but they rented out the Olympic Stadium in Seoul and hired a lot of people so a lot of money goes out to pay their staff and venue, catering, etc ;) Another concert they did, they (Jin) disclosed they did prepare with losses but they needed to do it: they needed to perform in their country that took longer to lift all covid restrictions, so they prepared a massive concert, and the stadium could only be 1/3 full plus no food or drinks or merch :)

BTS members do write/produce a lot of their music but they have in house producers as well, namely slow rabbit and p-dogg who do a ton of the producing as well. They also have plenty of songs they didnt write, Dynamite, Permission to Dance as examples. Same thing goes for their choreo, they tweak it and work on it together but typically have hired choreographers they work with as well. This doesn't take away from their talent or abilty to do those things, only that BTS sometimes need help to make the monumental amount of content and music that they do. They are amazing.
