"I've never wanted to speak Korean more than I do right now." Every international army ever 😂

[@AlexaOleksa]

That's why a lot if us international armys started learning Korean) i did) didn't want to loose the moment like i did with Japanese back in a day) Learn language while you are interested in it!

[@graywithlemon]

@@AlexaOleksa I also started learning Korean! It will be challenging, but I'm having a lot of fun so far!

[@milenarojaspastrana147]

i don’t think that i ever heard such a thing as a “bad song” from bts, they really have an amazing discography so feel free to check any of their albums or eps but, map of the soul: 7, is the album they released in february, this year and although is kinda long (22 songs) is the compilation of their previous album, map of the soul: persona, and a few new songs so you probably want to check that out. anyway, thank you for appreciating the member’s work and talent, i hope that you have a great time listening to them

[@Moonastronaut]

I agree about no "bad songs". for my own fun, I rated all of their songs including the BTS world ones and I'm not had anything under 6/10 with most 8 or above. They have great hooks and emotional delivery appropriate to the song. The full range of genre means that I listen to bts 90% of the time and don't get tired. The only song that I don't really count which I think is quite shocking is On feat Sia. Not my cuppa tea at all.

[@anirudhvattem9934]

@@Moonastronaut yeah Sia is an amazing singer but in the feature she was just there while all the other members were singing over them. Just too much happening in the chorus.

[@lobaetoile8440]

Some information about the songs: - The guide for Blue & Grey was a tack that V wrote planing to include it in his incoming mixtape. The original lyrics were in English, they translated them to Korean and produced the track more. At some moment he was feeling burned out/exhausted and he wrote those feelings down, the idea is to encourage people to allow themselves to feel thier sadness, when they need to, but also keep pushing through those bad moments. - The guide for Telepathy was written by Suga. He wasn't going to submit this track in particular, but Jimin liked it a lot and persuaded him to submit it for BE. - Dis-ease was produced by J Hope. It's probably the most dynamic and experimental track in the album. It's about the contradictory feelings he had during quarantine, in relation to having less work load at first and being forced to rest or stay at home more. (Excuse my bluntness, but it basically describes being a workaholic. I can relate lol) - The bridge of Dis-ease was composed by Jimin, as an improvisation, in around 3-5 mins, when they were recording the song. - Stay was written by Jungkook, originally for his incoming mixtape. They decided to include it on BE instead. (You can hear his taste on songs he has produced, he likes mainstream pop, edm and r&b a lot.) - Stay and Telepathy have similar topics, about how we're all still connected in spite of the circumstances, about wishing to meet their fans and loved ones again and celebrate together, once the pandemic ends. - Life Goes On concept is the base of this album, that's why it's title track. The message of keeping in mind how time passes and change is inevitable... It's what they thought would help people the most right now. What they needed to hear the most. Main producer of the song is PDdogg, he's an old Big Hit producer and one of BTS mentors. - Jungkook directed the music video for Life Goes On. He also recorded part of the video footage. (Most likely with one of his personal hand-held cameras, but maybe we will confirm if that's true if they release behind the scenes.) - The MV has scenes recorded in BTS real appartement (living room and the room Jimin shares with J Hope). The scene at the end was recorded after their online concert finished, in that same venue, the lights are ARMY bombs (fans light sticks) on every seat, to represent them. - Dynamite was written and produced by David Stewart and Jessica Agombar. They sent the demo to BTS, the boys liked it how it was, and they decided to release it while they were recording the new album, because they thought it was perfect to help uplift people's spirits during the pandemic. - Fly to my Room was produced by Cosmo’s Midnight. The idea is very straightforward, about how we can use our imagination and search for comfort in places or people who feel like home, as a copping mechanism/safe place. - BTS members were very involved in the production of this albums, from start to finish. Specially composition and lyrics. They're usually involved with the music, but this time they also directed the photoshoot concepts, the production of the music video for Life Goes On, the packaging, and more. - BE is how they decided to invest their time when their world tour was postponed due to the global pandemic. In other words, the context is the idea of comforting people during quarantine and express some of their feelings/thoughts in the current circumstances. - BTS members documented the production process of BE... There are videos/blogs about them discussing the concept of the album, buying cameras to shoot photos themselves, they curated individual rooms with their personal style for the photoshoot, they released a lot of content about the entire process. It's very cool and interesting to have bee allowed to experience part of all this with an artist.

[@jhopeur7219]

Just a correction, the bridge of Dis-ease was a collaboration but composed mostly by Jimin and Joon which they clearly say in their v-live. Jimin then says his part took all of 3-4 minutes before he handed it off to Jungkook (who ended up not having his part used). But they clearly say the bridge was a Jimin/Joon collab. I know it spread like wildfire so quick that it's hard to correct now but Joon does deserve his credit on that too.

[@evehhr2]

I feel like this is the beginning of Steven going into the rabbit hole, if you like music and listen to bts without a bias you will fall in love with them and I know Steven loves music so if he starts checking their projects out, he's gonna fall head over heels, when he starts getting into the rapline he's gonna freak out I just knoooooooow.

@@Cookie_moonlove I listen to a lot of rock and heavy metal myself and personally I don’t care for Fake Love! Dionysus is definitely more my style (probably because it’s more of a headbanger!). I agree with D2 though, it’s an iconic mixtape that deserves all the recognition!

Also, it’s Jimin who has that amazing falsetto voice. He’s truly amazing!

[@WhalienDNA]

He shines so bright at their Tiny Desk concert!

[@sariel8406]

Jimin's position among the vocalists is a counter tenor. Hence he specialized in falsettos. His lower registers are beautiful too just that he isn't given much chance to showcase them. 😭

[@indigodragon0613]

Technically it was his mixed voice that was being commented on for the most part. His mixed voice is very unique. A great example of his head voice is both his high part with V in Life Goes On, and his line from Blue And Grey: "Oh this ground feels so heavier, I am singing by myself."

[@bmstratton44]

He’s truly perfection! He’s so incredible 😭

[@hemantjoshi8134]

Lol jimin voice is like this only without falsettos

[@Noid1220]

The general public tend to dismiss the fans' adoration of BTS to superficial things but it goes deeper than that. It's the lyricism and the relatability that's the most important connection between and artist and their fans.

[@wisdomtoknowthedifference]

I could see this now. I'm a new fan.

[@vixi112]

Actually, Blue&Grey was written and produced by V, Stay by Jungkook, Telepathy by Suga and J-Hope did a lot of work on Di-sease. They were really involved in the writing and creating process which makes the album even more special. You should react to Agust D songs (Suga) 💜💜

[@marirezende8478]

No, the only member that produced in this album was Taehyung, the others all only composed and wrote

[@vixi112]

[@Sayu_rinrin]

@@marirezende8478 ... umm, telepathy was mainly produced by Yoongi long time ago, he said he had the chorus beat ready for years and finally decided to use it, and other members also contributed a lot production wise, even if they buy samples they still had to work over it. And as the person here already commented, the credits in this album was not in contribution order at all.

[@marirezende8478]

@@Sayu_rinrin It doesn't matter, and the other doesn't matter because they were only officially counted as composers and writers, not producers. Bighit posted the credits for every song and the only song with a member counted as producer is Blue & Grey with Taehyung. If you don't know, credits are written like this: everybody that helped producing will be outside brackets and everybody that did composing and writing inside brackets, listed in order of participation. You can go look up the credits for yourself, none of them produced besides Taehyung.

[@btsborahae9495]

Thank you for appreciating their lyrics!!! BTS, even now, are still so under appreciated. Somehow that language barrier and the label "boy-band" that Western media attach to them, prevents people to take the time to look at lyric translations to their songs. They are artists, co-writing lyrics, co-composing and co-producing their songs. They came from very humble beginnings (their label company was an outsider, very small and almost went bankrupt), made it through all kinds of hardships (getting their performances cut from tv shows, not getting invited, being looked down upon, etc), kept making great music at a dizzying pace, kept giving great performances and maintaining a close bond with their fans. Their rags to riches story is very inspiring. But through all the fame and wealth they have now achieved, they still remain the same humble and polite guys like they were when they were poor. The more you learn about them, the more you fall in love with them. And their bond with each other makes me feel so jealous. I just wanna hang out with them, I bet there wont ever be a dull moment in life with such friends as the BTS members. I can't say what my favorite album is, it depends on my mood. They have such an extensive discography that spans so many genres. Although I love their title tracks, surprisingly most of my most favorite songs are "B-sides".

Have fun and have a nice day :) PS. you are completely right about BTS and ARMY bond - personally, this album was like a letter full of love and warmth and support from BTS. Like they just decided to say: "we know you have hard time, we feel similar to you. it is ok to feel down, to struggle and be angry, but let us comfort you and bring some positive energy". Seriously, after listening to "BE" i felt so much better - and this is why ARMY try to give back as much as possible - with chart, with sells and awards. Cause now it is only way we can show BTS how much we appreciate their art and honesty.

[@taesfilter3026]

i personally see this album portraying the wide spectrum of emotions one may go through during the pandemic. starting from the moody songs that might console us on the days where we feel daunted to the happier, more brighter days where we need a proper upbeat jam to vibe to! all-in-all, this album is amazing and got me through some rough days and i'm always grateful for that. my personal favourites (in no particular order) are "blue and grey", "telepathy" and "dis-ease"!

[@WiseOwl_so_1d_like_to_think]

Every time you ask “who is this? Who does this?” It’s JIMIN! He has the highest falsetto, together with Jin.

[@B16pal]

❤️ this!! In case no one else commented, you seemed to cringe-react in "Dis-ease" during RM's rap to what sounded like him using the n-word....rest assured he did not. In the Korean language, two pronouns sound similar to that. "Nae-ga" (내가) means "I" and "ni-ga" (니가) means "you're". Just wanted to clear that up because it's a frequent misunderstanding among English-speaking reactors. Really enjoyed your reaction!!!

[@StevenInStereo]

I love how reactors like you discover BTS music through listening to their albums because it kinda removes the biases and prejudices and just listening purely which elevates the appreciation. This is what I hope for other people to just listen to their music, it is so good despite it not being in English. The lyrics, melody, production and messages are just on point. Add on choreo and creative sets and stages in their MVS and live performances, it's no wonder they are so big. I hope you listen to their older albums, they are gold too 💜

[@vanatani]

Thank you so much for listening to their new album BE!! I am happy that you liked it as much as you did! I can totally agree with your statement that BTS' lyricism is majorly underrated. They can come up with such clever rhymes and ideas that really carry meaning and is very relatable to so many people. Regarding the skit... ARMY were /are still streaming the full album without any skips with motivation for better chart positions. But also I've come to enjoy listening to it when it comes on. I basically have the translation roughly memorizes and can follow along on the conversation they're having :D we are very proud of them for achieving that #1 on the BB Hot 100 chart!! It's something that people made fun of by saying that BTS and ARMY were delulu for having such a dream and that it was unrealistic and unreachable. But look where we are now! BTS have had three number ones on the Hot 100 in the time span of three months (Dynamite, Savage Love Remix with BTS and Life Goes On). And on top of that they've been nominated for a Grammy for Best Pop Duo / Group Performance. I guess the lesson here is to never belittle or underestimate someone's dream!

[@Haphazardous31]

I think you hit the nail on the head actually: Besides them just being really excellent singers and performers and lyricists, part of the reason I like BTS so much is that their body of work really does feel very much like a conversation with their fans. Not just necessarily even in like the more obvious 'We miss you, we care about you' kind of way (though that certainly is always nice as well), but also just in that it always feels like they are being really honest about where their heads are at and what they are feeling. They're constantly building up their listeners with positive messages, but they don't shy away when they themselves are not feeling at their best. It's very humanizing, and it just *feels* different than a lot of bands I've enjoyed in the past. It's like... you can enjoy something listening passively, but when you feel like you're being brought in and acknowledged in a way by a group of people you respect it's a whole different experience. You look forward to seeing them succeed and feel proud of them when they do, because you know how hard they've worked for it and you feel like you are going along for the ride. I'm probably explaining this poorly lol but it is definitely a really unique experience and I'm always excited to see more people giving them a chance. Not to mention their songs are just really REALLY good hahaha

Great that you took the trouble to check out the lyrics. They ARE lyrically superior. RM is a cerebral poet to begin with, lots of powerful imagery and word play. Suga is raw feelings. JHope is so original in his tone and use of rhythm. All of them made themselves very vulnerable in this album, esp. in Blue and Grey. It’s an emotional chronicle of these times. Wish more people would make the effort to look into the lyrics!!!

The way I literally subscribed when u said you'd check out more BTS (idc if it takes a while, but pls do! Pretty pls)😭💜💜 Tbh as an ARMY, idc if someone doesn't like BTS's music. It's okay, I know most ARMYs are like that, we simply want BTS to be treated with respect and for them to be recognized as artists in a genuine way. Not hated simply bcs they're korean or bcs they "look like girls". Finally, someone who reacts to their album with an open mind, checking out their amazing lyrics. Their lyrics and personalities is what made me an ARMY. Everything they do behind cameras, the charities, the donations, the speeches... they're really inspirational. Well, I'm ranting now but THANK YOU for giving them a chance. Honestly I can't pick a favorite album lmao, but I'll say "WINGS" (2016) simply bcs it was my introduction to BTS and the first time they each got an individual track, so this album was quite deep and "dark" for them at the time. I'd also say "You Never Walk Alone" simply bcs it's basically "WINGS" (it was a repackage) but with other new tracks, so it's a win-win album for me. Pls check out more BTS, and again, THANK YOU so much for this 💜💜

Yes jimin's high notes and falsettos *chef kiss

[@agustspot]

29:34, that's Park Jimin!!! Brilliant vocalist, he always delivers something different and it's just so pleasant to hear a bright voice like his. He has solo songs Lie, Filter, Serendipity and Promise!! Lie, Serendipity and Filter have performances where he dances, too. He's an amazing dancer too!

[@ofsnowbarry]

STEVEN OMG I'VE NEVER CLICKED SO FAST! I've been waiting for you to finally do a BTS reaction! 👏🎉

[@yuval5985]

You were spot on with your comments about everything! From the messages of the songs to the personality and connection between the members and ARMY, wow! If your favorite song was dis-ease you have to listen to J-hope's solo mixtape "hope world"- he produced this song and since I first heard it I thought it would fit perfectly in hope world.. he has this very signature, 90's, style to his music, when you hear a song he worked on you can blindly notice that it's his song.. I would also love to see you react to "map of the soul: 7", it was released only at the start of the year, it's a longer album but every member has a solo song so you get to hear a lot from each of them and figure out their own style.. I think it's their most diverse album in terms of style but very cohesive in the lyrics- it tells the story of their friendship, their bond, their love and hate relationship with their work and fame, and their 7 years as a group (hence the title- map of the soul:7) it's really rare to see artists so openly talking about their struggles and yet so appreciative of everything that they have, and this is so far from the typical "boyband" lyrics..

[@imjustfine]

you know, i really love yours reactions because i feel like if i was listening to the song for the first time, the way you have to notice every little detail in a song really impresses me

[@allenvivien5244]

They write their own verse, most especially the Rap line 💜💜 Suga, RM & Jhope

[@jamais_vu3]

they have said it is one of the most personal albums yet. the members were especially very much involved in this particular album because previously it has only been certain members but in this, all of them played major roles. they even shared their whole procedure of making the album with us through livestreams etc. plus, not only from the music making procedure, they also contributed hugely to the visual aspect of the album from its design to the making of the music video. i hope you react to their MOTS:7 album too.

[@kookie8447]

Thank you so much for reviewing BTS BE album.. they really ground their souls into every project they release.. please do check out their other albums.. again thank you!

[@camidalessandro2125]

Yeeees I was waitin for this...this is only the soft side of Suga, u should check out his solo stuff (same for Jhope). And most of the vocals that you mentioned was by Jimin (the "falsetto" ones)

[@leeswhimsy]

They do so m any different genres, it's incredible. So much to dive into, but you'll love it!! And don't forget to check out all their solo stuff!!!

[@odgykins]

"I am learning right now that I am a huge Suga stan" --------a mood

[@yassy02]

I'm so happy to see someone acknowledge the importance and depth of BTS' lyrics! So happy that you like Suga's verses too, and Jhope delivery and production. The rapline is truely phenomenal

[@vanessap.103]

The high notes that you were loving in fly to my room is a mixture of Jimin & Taehyung (V) mostly Jimin, Suga has an alter ego named Agust D that he’s released 2 mixtapes under that I think you’d love! He’s not the “‘main guy” RM, Suga & J-hope all are the “rap line” and all have a pretty R&B style! All the members took a big part in writing & producing this album, jungkook directed the music video, and tae directed the visuals for the album! So this is their art through & through 🤍

[@kit-kaaat]

They write and produce their own songs, and if not, they usually co-write and/or co-produce it with their in-house producers.

[@kimk8904]

"They are actual human beings that just happen to be super talented." Preach it. THIS is why ARMY loves these young men. They give us more than great music and performance. They love and appreciate us and remind us of that in everything they do.

[@PK-vb7tj]

So you're a directioner, 5sosfam and u might become an army soon !!! My three favorite bands!! Ilysm 🥺💜

[@mcflymandyswift6753]

You won't regret getting into BTS because they're always spreading a positive message, telling us to love ourselves, etc. I feel like even if they're such a popular group their discography is underrated. They mix a lot of genres and topics in their song. It's truly amazing. You're gonna love them, I promise.

[@silvina-cb8zg]

I suscribed because of your reactions to little mix and now you are reacting to bts? Omg you have no idea how that makes me so happy, these two are my favourite groups! Thank you for your reaction Steven, I hope you check the Tear album by bts as well. I really connect with that one, It's one of my favs. Sorry for my english, it is not my first language :)

[@erume5776]

all 7 members takes part in producing, composing and writing lyrics. if you look at the old days, it's definately more the rap line (RM, Suga, J-Hope), but in the last years vocal line (Jin, Jimin, V, Jungkook) are catching up to them. for ex, Blue & Grey was supposed to be in V's solo project, same as Stay was a tittle track to Jungkook's (nothing controversy though, it's usual for them to share music they write with each other, they've been doing this for 7 years :) and Jimin wrote the bridge in Dis-ease in 3-4 minutes. we are all excited while waiting for the vocal line's first mixtapes, which will luckily come out in the next year or two (if explanation is needed: the bts discography is written by BTS members and in-house BigHit producers, it consist of songs with all 7 members, song with subunits like just 2-4 of them and solo songs that are still under the name of BTS. and beside that they have their solo projects that are done by each member on their own, it allows them to express things they can't include in the group project. i think it's quite a healthy way of creating art when there's 7 of you)

[@sugeyfranco8859]

I love how you feel the music, and bro every song of BTS is good, depend of your style of music but everything with them is great!

[@annaiacchetti6539]

omg I was waiting for this😍

[@lydiagalang6082]

Why I love this seven boys ? I read and watch their beginnings and I/ you will be amazed what they’ve been through, I cried for them how they( other groups, companies and people treated them ), but now look at them. I pray that they(boys) will prosper long . Please take time to know them well and I think you too will be surprised from what they are now. They write their songs. Of their songs there’s a story behind it. Wanted to say more, but that will be your homework . By the way , I’m a grandma and always listens to BTS. Thanks and more power to you, be safe and God Bless!!😘

[@forg_tful.]

the amazing thing about bts is that their albums always have a running theme that follows through and BE is a great representative of that as you noticed the running theme of their pandemic thoughts since that is when they wrote the album. they cover a variety of genres as well so there is a song for everyone in their discography who gives them a chance, guaranteed. also, i've noticed you enjoyed the rapline a lot (suga, j-hope, rm) so i'd love you to react to their solo mixtapes - suga's (d-2), j-hope's (hope world) and rm's (mono) to get a hang of their styles because they're all brilliant rappers and lyricists with immaculate and diverse flows. for more accurate bts lyric translations you can go to the doolsetbangtan blog, they are a korean translating songs into english and are your safest best!! thanks for giving bts a shot :)

[@dariajustdaria2292]

Stan artists who stan you back 😌 Armys can relate, we are quite spoiled in the mutual love department 😁

[@RoxyRocket001]

Can't wait for your bts journey, their discography and solo work is just amazing.

[@FranKa6]

Hello! :) I loved your reaction and analysis. I definitely feel like you're one of the most genuine reactors out there, so thank you very much for choosing to do this! That higher voice that you've pointed out like 3 times is Jimin. When it comes to the lyrics and production of this album, BTS said that this is the most they've ever been involved in a creation of an album and I think it shows. However, from what I know, the rappers (RM, Suga and J-Hope) have always written the verses that they rap in songs and they are HEAVILY involved in the production aspect (they also produce their own mixtapes). Their label (BigHit Entertainment) is all for creating a space for artistic freedom, so BTS is not really restricted in terms of creating music. I think it's just that not every song the members create is included in an album (tho they do release some demos/covers/original songs on Soundcloud for fans to enjoy). I can see that you're committed to reacting to their lyrics, so I feel like I have to let you know that easily the BEST source of BTS' songs' translations is "DOOLSET LYRICS" website (just type it in Google search). The creator(s?) provides the writing/production credits, notes from BTS attached to the songs (if there are any), very accurate translations and cultural context for some of the lyrics (which is sometimes very important in fully understanding and appreciating the meaning behind the song). I think that most of the ARMYs agree that their "Wings" album is their best one ever, and for the most part I agree, but I also LOVE their "Map Of The Soul: 7" (2020) album. Please keep in mind that they release some of their albums in series which revolve around a certain concept (so, for example, they have "Map of the Soul: Persona" (2019) and "Map of the Soul: 7" (2020) - these two albums are connected as they share some of the songs and they are both heavily inspired by the concepts of Jungian psychology from the book "Jung's Map of the Soul: An Introduction") I REALLY tried not to write an essay, but it happened so I'm sorry. Just know that I DID try lol. I hope I helped at least a little bit. You can't imagine how happy I am you're reacting to this group! I literally froze when I saw the notification. Thank you. I hope you'll have a great day! :) PS. When you said something about "temporary fix", my brain just immediately started playing "Temporary Fix" by 1D, lmao PPS. Your fashion is very on point. Props!

[@msmichellewinchester]

I've already been subscribed to you for PTX and the fact that you might now be embarking on a BTS journey that's so exciting! I'd love to see that. I'm sure people already told you a lot and answered all the questions that you had, but I would suggest for you to watch The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS. It's a really good video that introduces the members and tells you a bit about their history and how they got where they are now. It also does and overview of their discography, so it might be a good starting point from that perspective too.

[@taesfilter3026]

loved your reaction and i would really love to see you react to their entire discography someday!! just a few extra infos that might make this album that much more special; 4 out of the 6 songs on this album were original compositions of bts members. "blue and grey" was by v, "stay" by jungkook, "telepathy" by suga and "dis-ease" by j-hope. "blue and grey" was actually written by v to express his times of depression and burn out and the song was meant for his personal album that he plans to release sometime soon. when the rest of the bts members heard this song, they were floored and really wanted it to be part of "BE" and that's exactly what happened! "telepathy" was a really old composition of suga's that had been sitting in his vault of unreleased songs and it was about to be thrown until they gave it a listen and thought it'd be a great addition to the album. "dis-ease's" bridge was actually made in 3 mins when jimin was improvising in the studio and who'd know it'll be THE legendary bridge in bts' discography? there's also another track called "skit" that acted as the interlude in the album to break the moody songs from the more upbeat ones that you didn't feature in this video (so idk if you gave it a listen) but it's basically a recording of a candid dialogue between the members on the day that they got their first billboard hot 100 #1 song, dynamite. it was a long time goal of theirs to reach that milestone, so they added that to the album as well.

[@aj2382]

PLEASE I would LOVE for you to react to the whole discography. Thanks for taking the time and reading the lyrics! 💜💟

[@elliyoung6784]

Ikr... bts writes good hip hop songs and have great rap verses. RM & Suga were the promising young underground rappers for their monstrous talents in rapping. Music involvement wise, RM is initially known for his songwriting and Suga was for producing, but of course, both of them do those two things. J-hope was a street dancer & started honing his already-existing talent in rapping when he became a trainee &, of course, he too is an amazing songwriter and producer. They’re real REAL rappers. Their flow and versatility are amazing. They can ride on many different type of songs while still having their own flow. They’re absolutely brilliant. And I love that you understood them on this level even if you’re not “part of the fandom”... Bts are always honest and real with their music. Their albums tell beautiful stories and, yes, their lyricism is insane. My most favorite BTS albums are Love Yourself: Tear, Map Of The Soul: 7, Dark & Wild, and Most Beautiful Moment In life: Part 2!😁

[@akakame]

Your review is really on point.. and i am amazed how you would really able to catch and understand the real deal of BTS album BE is for ARMY. Thank you again for your amazing point of views and i hope you enjoy other BTS songs. (They have variety genre u can pick too)

[@Cookie_moonlove]

With BTS you dont have to worry about copyright on album music and music videos but some live performances that aren't on their channel those you might have to chop up but don't make cuts in the music videos or albums, upload it in full on you tube. Just show the Big Hit intro in the start of the MV's too and you are all good.

[@brook441]

Persona might be one of my favorite albums but I also really love the love yourself series and map of soul seven. I JUST LOVE THEM ALL

[@kthnunnaaa]

Yeah finally.. i'm happy with that.. But you should listen & react BTS Rapline part.. That song call Cypher Pt.1, Cypher Pt.2, Cypher Pt.3 , Cypher Pt.4, UGH and Daeng !! You gonna love that man, but overall i can say if every album of BTS is LEGIT !!! Love you steven 💜

[@sarailopez2429]

Omg I had been waiting for this!!!!

[@alisonTessy]

Map of the soul dude you need that reaction... we need that reaction 🥺

[@tenealdavidson6731]

Your insights are so wonderful, Steven. I really, really enjoyed this reaction so thank you so much! I think your channel might be my favourite on KZbin 🥰

[@amtulhajra2318]

YES PLEASE, WE NEED MORE! 🙏🏻 Loved your reaction and explanation!! 💜

[@creamkookie5932]

What an absolutely beautiful review! Thank you SO SO much for taking in the lyrics and processing it with the music. It means so so much to all of us 😭
