Non-Kpop Fans REACT to BTS (방탄소년단) - Fake Love & Mic Drop [EP 1]

[@AlpacalypseProductions]

Dang, #ARMY we did not expect you to arrive so quickly. BUT WE HEAR YOU! From your comments we learned a lot more about BTS and why they stand out. We'll have a new BTS video with some new found knowledge. Plus we'll be introducing some of these guys to BLACKPINK! How many #BLINKS will we meet? Make sure to subscribe and stay tuned!

[@ellymax2993]

Alpacalypse Productions We #ARMY are excited to hear and see your reactions with BTS. Thank you for being openminded in reacting to their videos. 😁 Can't wait for more. Are you gonna upload soon?

[@angelybonilla3813]

I'm anxious my bell is already activated I'll just wait. 💜

[@wedotalkaboutwhatarmystand4796]

*mic drop*

[@ljaafar3618]

When you do reaction pls be more intellectual and don't make fun

[@jimin3634]

HI pls do BLACKPINK DDU DU DDU DU

[@williamsugaadamsagustd9284]

*"they're so sick they came out at the back of an ambulance"* 😂😂😂

[@chaeyunitv]

Father Williams Suga Adams the third a.k.a AgustD ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[@motatsumaki]

And about the Snickers. Its a sad story behind it. When he was young his mother took him to a Carnival. She gave him a snickers bar and told him to stay near the Carousel then abandoned him, so the snickers represents the fake love his mother gave him.

[@AlpacalypseProductions]

And the feels on the bus go round and round. 😭

[@AthenisKS81]

There's even more to it, but there are a lot of videos if you wanted to get all caught up on the story. Like the chocolate is also about a pill addiction story arc he's had going on that's in relation to his past. The extended version makes it a little more clear, with him collapsing after eating the chocolate as he did before with pills, and being dragged down and disappearing in to the candy entirely. It's a creepy visual seeing the pile of candy "swallow" him.

[@ringmania]

It's a fictional story inside of BTS universe, though. I'm just making sure these non-kpop fans don't misunderstand it~;)

[@AthenisKS81]

Yeah. That's why I mentioned it was a story arc. But being more clear about that, just in case, can't hurt. I can't imagine what some people must think if they read any theories without knowing it's just a story :)

[@ringmania]

Athenis I was the one..:( I was new to BTS, didn't have any ARMY friends when I bought 'Love Youself:Her' album. I read the notes and I was sooo sad thinking how hard their lives were and how brave they open it up. (Cuz I overheard they went through so much hardship) I figured it's fictional about a week later when another ARMY told me.. She was laughing at me so hard..:(

[@sirdromos2769]

Hahaha everything is real no CG and yeah 4 singers and 3 rappers

[@crististone2433]

Blood Staz the floating petals from JK hand is CGI. The rest isn’t though.

[@sirdromos2769]

Cristi Stone yeah of course

[@vsbaretummysugastonguetech1540]

True, from the stairs, to the water to the fire, no CGI.

[@elleruirui]

Cristi Stone Someone in the management said there was 0 CGI. I don't think there was any.

[@lightefilit]

JC No, petals are CGI 100%, the rest is not.

[@silverdeer4876]

If you watch the behind the scenes of Fake Love, you'll know that the fire, the floor falling, the blinking panels, and the 2 waterfalls were not CG and were real. The fire was controlled by a hole in the floor(that's what it looks like), the floor falling was all real, and Jungkook(the guy running) had a rope attached to him so even if he failed to run fast enough, the rope would prevent him from falling onto the hard floor. Jimin(the guy standing between the waterfalls) stood in the exact spot where he wouldn't get drenched. But yeah, his socks did get wet, though. And maybe his shirt got speckled with water a bit. As for the blinking panels behind Taehyung(the guy wearing contacts and a tie dye shirt), it was controlled by the director, so whenever he pressed a button, the lights would flash. Pretty cool, huh? So yeah. Everything was filmed safely, no CG used, have a nice day! And maybe react to Spring Day by BTS?😂

[@infiresjean6119]

They didn't use any effects on their videos,that's all real no FAKE,try to watch their behind the scenes but your reactions is nice😊👍

[@AlpacalypseProductions]

Infires Jean whaaaaaaaaaaat? We will that's like 1000000 times more impressive!

[@AlpacalypseProductions]

Infires Jean Thank you! Yeah that video blew us away especially! Thank you for the sub!

[@infiresjean6119]

Alpacalypse Productions Welcome 😊💜 #Armys

[@silverdeer4876]

Alpacalypse Productions but don't worry, the fire was controlled and Jimin was standing in the exact spot where he wouldn't get drenched. So it was a safe filming for the boys.

[@AlpacalypseProductions]

JIMIN YOU GOT NO JAMS oh man it's all in those angles huh? That's quite clever, we were quick to assume CGI because here in NA it's very rare for celebs to be near open fire and crazy water even if it's controlled. That's some real dedication!

[@DensPlays]

If you wanna go deep into the hole that is the BTS ARMY, you should react to a video titled "BTS: FROM NOBODIES TO LEGENDS" Because it shows their years of hardwork and dedication to their music paying off year after year. Also, if you want to have a look to the members specifically, react to "Who is BTS? : The Seven Members Of Bangtan" Enjoy!

[@AlpacalypseProductions]

00XxGameBoyxX00 we always love the comments because you guys show us where to keep going to learn more, thank you!

[@wandat.s.6740]

Theres no cg, all is real. And there is english sub, you can turn on the engsub if you wanna know the meaning. Love your reaction

[@MsMidorino]

It is really funny to watch you say "Look at all that money" when just 3 years ago their company couldn't even afford to borrow the cars to shoot a music video so they just used staff's cars (I Need You - Original Ver.). I still believe their MVs look so good, bc of the very talented people that work on them. BTS and BigHit are working with amazing video shooting crew - LUMPENS. Most of the effects you have seen in these two MVs are practical. The fire is real, the floor dropping is real, the water is real. Also, there is the ongoing storyline in the BTS' music videos and some other short films they put out. Part of the fun of being a BTS fan (an ARMY) is to dig deep into those videos and try to figure out what is actually going on. There are multiple references to the literature, movies and other artists. A lot of symbolism is going on. 'I Need You" Original Ver. is a good place to start if you are interested. BTS stands out a little bit from other k-pop artists (not everyone, but from the general picture that k-pop is viewed as). The idea of BTS back in 2012-2013 was that they will be a hip-hop group, but their company decided along the way to change the concept and they finally debuted as an idol group that rap, sing and dance in 2013. The story of BTS is the story of the underdogs who followed their dreams and worked really hard to fight the prejudices, hate and false rumors. They are unique bc they participate in making their own music, mainly their rap-line RM, Suga and J-Hope, but all of the members participated in music-makingin the past. Their lyrics are actually often poetic and talk about social issues, mental health, are motivational, comforting and very relatable. A lot of the fans who relate to the stories in the songs find comfort in those lyrics. Examples: 'Whalien 52' talks about how we feel that no one understands us, about the lonliness and separation. It is based on the factual story of a 52-hertz whale - a whale which calls at the very unusual frequency of 52 Hz so it can't communicate with any other whales. 'Tomorrow' talks about following your dreams no matter what, never giving up and enduring the difficulties along the way. 'Baepsae' talks about privilaged people that have connections and succeed easier and how people without privilage are stared down upon bc they're believed not to try hard enough. Baepsae means crow -tit - that is a small bird with really short legs. In the song storks are the privileged people and crow-tits (try hards) try their best but their legs are too short and can't keep up with the storks. In 'Dope' they talk about how hard work and endurance leads to success. There are a lot. BTS have a lot of haters and they respond to them through their music - you should check out the Cypher series created y the rap-line. Recently during their 5th anniversary celebration they dropped a dis track on soundcloud called 'Ddaeng'. Ddaeng is quite difficult to translate so if you ever read the lyrics to the song, make sure to look for the additional translators' notes (Korean is a beautiful language full of double meanings, creative metaphors etc. and BTS use plays on words a lot). 'Mic Drop' was like the epilogue to the cyphers, in which they tell they haters to look at all of their achievements and maybe not see eachother ever again. Haters didn't back off, so in Ddaeng they actually are like "Thank you haters, because of you, we are successful". BTS has four amazing vocalists that improved over the years a lot. All of their voices are different and very distinguished. Their way of singing is very emotional an makes you feel things every time. You should check out vocal-line's collab with Steve Aoki from the latest album, the song is cald "The Truth Untold". Their solos from the album WINGS are also worth attention. Jungkook the youngest sings in 'Begin' about his bandmates that are like brothers to him and how they make him who he is. In 'Lie' Jimin sings about being cought in a lie and how he would ike to free from it and come back to his innocent self. V in 'Stigma' delivers soulfull performance with a jezzy feel to it, it's a song related to the music videos' storyline (I assume). Jin sings 'Awake' in which he is unsure if he can make it, but assures us and himself that he will try hard anyway. I recommend also solo tracks of the rap-line from this album: RM - 'Reflection', J-Hope - 'MAMA' and Suga - 'First Love'. BTS are great dancers. You can watch their dance practices that they publish on their channel BANGTANTV. Okay, this is getting to long. If I was to recommend any introductions to BTS I suggest: 1) This is a fan made series by gadaursan introducing BTS (it's still ongoing). It is amazingly edited and gives a real documentary vibe because of the usage of clips in which members talk about themselves and answer to questions in different interviews etc. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaXYonqQaKypabc 2) Official BTS documentary Burn The Stage (It's the paid content on KZbin Red, but firdt episode is for free): kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGfdiKp3pKqcldk 3) Introducing BTS fanmade series by BTS Fambases (ongoing) kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2XJn6mlrKeSrsk

[@AlpacalypseProductions]

MsMidorino yeah we seem to have caught them on the rise rather than on the come up. Hearing where they were 3 years ago vs now is really inspiring. As we ourselves have been trying to grow and expand, so we can relate to underdogs well. Going into it we thought it was an overnight craze but we see the old adage of "it took me 40 years to become an overnight success" rings true. Thank you for the info we are learning haha

[@memyself4414]

MsMidorino i love watching the Dance practices. Theyre amazing

[@miran289]

Your comment made me tear up and thank you for all the information

[@motatsumaki]

In fake love, The floor was actually real haha! Nothing was CG. I mean aside from the phone ofc.

[@learnwithshahee]

BTS are different from kpop groups,their training process was different from other groups They write ,produce & compose their own music... contribute to the choreo. Also FAKE LOVE had no CG everything in it was real from A to Z Also BTS video has subtitles ... pls turn the CC on Lots of love #BTSARMY

[@rottenkitten9200]

shahenda attia bts are not different from other kpop group, ok?

[@learnwithshahee]

BLow iT LiKE a FlUTe whatever makes u sleep at night bbe Love yourself 💜

[@angeldennis7042]

Lol babe a lot of other groups also write there own songs and i have had a bad time!

[@thephilosopher2913]

@shahenda attia All K-Pop groups are different. Each groups have diverse music despite following a single genre. BTS just tends to look more different because they are one of the few Korean bands that put storyline on their MV's making it more intriguing and interesting. Also other bands do contributes to their songs its not only BTS that does that, and please give Big Hit and Lumpens staffs a credit on the production and writing part. BTS cannot do it all alone without them.

[@deanncoates8456]

BTS is much different from the "industry churn" they were hated for several years by the underground scene where the rappers came from because they became idols & the KPOP music industry, media, other fandoms stated they would amount to nothing because they were not from 1 of the big 3 companies. Thank you for your reaction.🌹 Diving into the mv/series that tells an overall story and has you trying to guess what is going on from one video to the next is an adventure in and of itself. Example: JHope & the Snickers. In a previous video from a previous album he was abandoned as a child by his mother and all she left him was a Snickers bar to eat. So now the candy bars represent her abandonment of him and his fear not allowing him to love. It really is genius what they do.

[@chandramallika1990]

Many of BTS's music video are aesthethic and every their MV have a story line same with their chorepography which connected with the lyrics. All of their song have a deep meaning. If you watched their MV's make sure you click the CC button for activated english subtitles. Almost their MV used symbolism. Their company always uploaded video behind the scene of BTS's music video. By the way in the MV Fake Love the ground falling down, the fire, and the water it's all real not CG.

[@jorey2009]

i wont call that 'kpop music' since kpop is an industry term i call it 'bts music' they are diff than other groups their music is diff their lyrics are top notch (they are one of the few few idol groups that heavily involved in writing and producing their own stuff) and they write about real issues like criticism of societal conventions in south korea, youth unemployment rates, socio-economic inequality, mental health stigma, the desire to be free from societal judgement, the pressure of the education system, toxic relationships...etc they have most of these topics in their b-side tracks that got most their fans into them plus they do them with good beats even their diss tracks are so lit like their CYPHERS and their latest song that was free as a gift to their fans called 'DDAENG' they used so many word play and culture references in this song that took us many trans to understand them lol yes they came from small broke company and faced so many hate in their home country from media play to false accusations...etc but they fought the odds and made it with their ARMY (their fandom name)

[@AlpacalypseProductions]

jorey-ARMYFORLIFE yeah #army has been teaching us so much about them and where to go for more. It really seems we just touched the tip of a very deep and huge iceberg haha we'll be sure to do more and learn. I think we all walked away fans of what we got to see.

[@mdsnkvny8454]

BTS is not a separate thing from kpop, as kpop is literally just popular Korean music, which is what BTS makes. The only difference with their music is that it is more westernized (up for opinion, but some people think this way) than other groups.

[@jorey2009]

Mdsn Kvny korean themselves call kpop "idol music" and it does not represent korean music (pop,r&b,hiphop...etc) acording to korean critics and GP and "westernized"??? how they still sing in korean aren't they!! and what do you think the kpop music then ,korean?! no it's all westerniaed (hiphop,r&b,edm...etc) it's all from the west , what you mean is bts don't sound like 1837392 kpop group and that is good since 80% of kpop music sound the same and most doesn't hold any meaning to it's lyrics so it is a good thing that people (not kpop fans) start to see bts as korean artist and not just "kpop"

[@n-silvabts9178]

Dear jorey-ARMYFORLIFE, please, be careful with your words. It's totally ok to praise our beloved boys, they sure deserve it, but avoid comparing them to other artists, specially saying BTS is better or different from them. First, BTS consider themselves equal with all other South Korean artists. The fact is that they are South koreans and they make pop music, so they are kpop artists. Second, they deeply admire and respect many of them. They see many of them as their sunbaes (senior who inspire them). So, we, as ARMY, need to think our commnets carefully before posting. We, as ARMY, have a responsability to not stain BTS image, ok? Love from an older ARMY.

[@jorey2009]

N-Silva kpop i have been in kpop since the first gen then slowly start to slip away from it with the 2nd gen since it become to manufactured esp with 3rd gen (i'm not talking about korean music) there is a diff between it and kpop (not all korean music are kpop just the 'idol' music in it) and i'm not saying all kpop acts are manufactured but a good 90% of it are you can't deny that. i just prefer to drop the 'kpop' term since it erase the individuality in it's acts and put them in one small box so when people listen to one bad/good song well thing all kpop are the same good or bad it just sad

[@flipside9608]

A lot of their popular videos have behind the scenes/the making of videos. BTS is pretty different from most K Pop groups. You should really check out Nobodies to Legends and Who is BTS: The Seven Members of Bangtan to get a further grasp of the band. A lot of people look and focus on the end/current result and completely forget or ignore how they began, so I definitely suggest you guys check some more info! Ps: About the candy/snickers, the entirety of the Fake Love MV is based off the story line inside the BTS music videos and album notes (fictional notes/diary entries of the band, based off the character in their videos)

[@AlpacalypseProductions]

Fermin Dang that's some good info. We've been hearing about Nobodies to Legends we're definitely going to check it out, I see us falling into a BTS wormhole 😂

[@flipside9608]

Alpacalypse Productions no problem. As a person who's fallen deeply into the rabbit hole that is BTS you can count me being there to help explain haha. If you're interested in lyricism: Pied Piper, Singularity (Intro to albums are typically done solo by BTS), Spring Day, and Airplane pt. 2. Aesthetics/visuals/cinematography: Blood Sweat and Tears, Not Today and Spring Day. Music: All of them, hah. But Dope, Go Go, DNA, and Save Me are pretty diverse choices. Choreography: Blood Sweat and Tears, Fire, and Danger are highly recommended. PS: Lyrics, Production and Choreography are all co-creared by the members of BTS, with some being made solely by a member or 2.

[@vsbaretummysugastonguetech1540]

You are hilarious! You need to watch BTS FROM NOBODIES TO LEGENDS 2013 - DEC 2017

[@Nicoleta0705]

C'mon, guys, BTS is the best worldwide musical boyband, 'Crème de la Crème'. They come from the K-pop musical genre but they already surpassed the field. They create pure quality songs in terms of content and musicality, they produce their own songs, they are insurpassable dancers, they are unique, original and have great personalities. One can say without doubt that they are the New Beatles of this era. Personally I am BTS fan but I have never been into K-pop. BTS is Pure Genius !

[@isalovewierdo]

"They all look the same" I'm just taking big breaths to calm myself down.

[@combatgirl1925]

To know who BTS are please watch fan made videos by title: 1. Who is BTS? 2. Nobody's to Legends 3. Individual Member intros Coz BTS are not any typical Kidols, they are underdogs who happened to be the bestboy group in world right now with their hard work and self written lyrics/ self produced music!

[@mariazippy233]

Combat Girl it would be best if they watch all the videos from the channel called *Gadaursan* this boy has well edited and well produced introduction videos. Deserves more views too bec it's all about their foundation and insights to who they are as an artist.

[@kristen1407]

Thank you for reacting to them...No cgi in fake love....all practical effects.....also CC will give you subtitles in a lot of their videos...💜✌

[@AlpacalypseProductions]

Mommy Dearest yeah we are hearing this from many fans.. which is.. just WOW! How did we sleep on this? Haha

[@colleenannsanluis9183]

No cg for this.. Love ur reaction

[@llamawithglasses2781]

React to who is bts?The seven members

[@ringmania]

About 'Fake Love' 1. Water, Fire, Sneakers, Trailer park, Cellphone and flower are all symbolically connected with a fictional storyline BTS made since 2015. About 7~80% of their MVs are connected to this story since 'I Need U' MV. They even slip a little note about the story in their physical albums so ARMYs (BTS fandom) can analyze and put peices together. 2. Are they CG? Depends on the definition. Water falling, Window blowing, Floor dropping, A door coming out from a wall is real with BTS members were actually at the scene. But the fire part, the explosion is real, and the member was in front of fire, but he wasn't there when explosion happened. He was composed to it after. 3. I like you guys~!! Keep up the good work~!!

[@xanthedanger8293]

I'm sure other people have already said so, but there was ZERO CGI in the making of Fake Love. The water, the fire, the floor falling out...all mind blowingly practical effects.

[@likeB20]

I want you to see a micdrop at 2017 MAMA!!

[@wildlotus4339]

Like B Yes, the one with Cypher 4 fir the intro.

[@Rox7ne]

Careful with copyright tho 🙈

[@managersejinstan1523]

Fun fact, for the Mic Drop scenes, BigHit actually rented out an entire street for the shoot. Also, BTS better have good style, those shirts are over a grand each

[@elizakane9709]

The Snickers bar represents the only thing Jhope's character (the man lying on the pile of snickers bars) has left of his mother who abandoned him at an amusment park when he was a child. It's part of a huge storyline beginning with the music video for "I Need U" that came out in 2015.

[@mads2172]

no CGI in fake love and the cake is in a different video ;)

[@renfloyd7595]

You know BTS is good because they make other artists talk like they're angry about how much they enjoy it

[@jackie5270]

This video (Fake Love) is part of a storyline BTS and Bighit tell in a lot of their MVs. Everything has context. (Like the snickers) They haven’t confirmed anything so us ARMYs have a lot of theories. Have fun watching BTS!

[@michaellajabla1672]

They actually have an ongoing storyline within most of their music videos!! You all shud check it out !! Here' the list (in order): I need you (original version) Prologue Run Epilogue (Young Forever) WINGs short films (#1-8) The Highlight Reels Euphoria Fake Love Hope you check it out!! It's very intricite and complex. Basically an ongoing universe !

[@sellasembiring3557]

Please react more of BTS 😊 btw i love your reaction 😍

[@chang4190]

In fake love there’s no cgi except for the phone ofc but besides that the fire and water is real you can look at the behind the scenes to see. Oh also the floor was real too

[@elleruirui]

Baby Mochi Even the phone wasn't CGI, that was just edited. There was no CGI in this one.

[@ta1laan]

JC I think they mean the phone turning into sand

[@elleruirui]

It's_Ty Which wasn't CGI, just edited.

[@valen1634]

In mic drop tho. All of tht its not cgi, all of tht is real♥

[@Ivy-jq6di]

Baby Mochi The phone part was edited. They just had Tae drop the phone normally and then drop sand and they edited it half and half to get that scene.

[@MookieTube-]

Another great video! Really liking the react videos. You guys should cover more BTS cause you all seemed mesmerized by the aesthetic the videos bring. Good job again boys!

[@AlpacalypseProductions]

TheMookietube Thank you! And we were caught off gaurd, we didn't know what to expect and our film minds took over haha! But it seems like more BTS is the general consensus. Also we are waiting on new Mookie tube content!!!

[@wsstwood]

I enjoyed this very much, please do more 💕 there’s also subtitle in every of BTS music videos

[@ataraxia7949]

These are ALL practical sets~~ Everything is real

[@koyukiny]

BTS's music videos are known for not using a lot of CG's. The water falls and fires are all real. Instead of using CGs they normally build a set for music videos. All their music videos are also filmed in Korea. Yes, they were trainees at Bighit entertainment before their debut in 2013. The youngest member of this group was only 14 when he joined the company. These guys spent their teen years together as trainees, and have lived together for the past 7 years and are still living together.

[@purpleballoons123]

Of course their good at dancing their BTS!! And Kpop is Singing and Dancing so of course.

[@jorey2009]

thanks for your reaction anyway this mv's story is connected to all previous short films and the highlight reel of the last 3 albums all the elements in this mv represents their fears and in this song first teaser showed how they exchanged their fears for fake happiness the snickers bars symbolizes j-hope's fear Of abandonment (that have been shown in the highlight reel before when his 'mom' abanded him in an amusement park that is why the room he's in this mv filled with amusement rides and it's conncted with his 'mama' short film) THAT'S bts for you with every 'comback' album we get headache coming up with theories (reading books that are conncted to their songs, writing thesis) just to connect the dots LOL they even showing extra scenes and hints in their concerts and award shows all the time, who needs school when we have BTS and their company (bighit) LOL

[@crististone2433]

They have extra footage of the making of their MVs if you like a peek at their production.

[@chang4190]

Also if you want to( which I recommend you guys should) react to ‘Who’s BTS? The seven members)’ to get each members

[@dawn5683]

There were no cgi effects in this video at all!! All of it is real :) And if you wanna listen to more of their rappers, I recommend listening to Outro: Tear and Ddaeng!!!

[@mariabaillet]

"they're so sick they came out at the back of an ambulance" Jin would love that dad joke :D

[@lunakelly2113]

BTS has a fictional Universe full of symbolism. It also has time travel and deals with mental health. Fake love is part of that universe.

[@motatsumaki]

Mic Drop was dedicated to the haters. BTS aren't from the BIG 3 Companies in Korea (JYP, YG, SM) and they got a lot of hate and did not have support from most of Korea. They were told they would not make it in the industry. They don't have many songs bragging. A lot of their songs deal with real life problems as well as struggles they go through. Their New Album they have out (Love Yourself:Tear) talks about the struggle of not loving yourself, loving others before you(being dependent on others),etc. I really think you should check out BTS: FROM NOBODIES TO LEGENDS as well as Who Is BTS? BTS are hyped up for a reason, not just because of their good looks and catchy lyrics. Thanks for the reaction!!!

[@snisa92]

yes. They are not coming from BIG3 so thats why currently korea are so surprised when BTS got no.1 in billboard 200 for album when they are not even active on shows in korea. Thats because its been rumored that Big3 tried to surpress BTS popularity in korea so that they cannot top their own artists. For example, spring day is so famous in korea and some koreans are really surprised when they got to know it is BTS song because that song is so good to just be kpop group song. BTS experienced a lot of hardship/accusation in their own country and they got way famous internationally first because international army found something unique about BTS that other kpop groups dont have. International army especially western fans always value authenticity of artists music and that where BTS come through. If you really pay attention, BTS always put their heart when singing to their music. For example outro:tear, the truth untold, spring day, run, etc. Recently, some music insiders spoke about BTS and mostly of them quite impressed with BTS work ethic. They suprised that BTS work like indie musician despite being top star right now. Means they are really dedicated with their own music.

[@Reem-zx6mc]

"They so sick they came out the back of an ambulance." 😂😂😂DEAD😂😂

[@ellymax2993]

I know this comment is long but please do read it if you have the chance to do so. 😊 BTS process was different. Each of them auditioned but most of them never really aimed to be a kpop idol. In fact, the concept that they were going for was more on hiphop. Like Suga, for example, he auditioned to become a producer for BigHit but ended up in being part of the group because they saw potential in him. All of them have been living together since their trainee days so basically, they know each other already for 8 years or so. They are not like any other groups that are being controlled especially on making music. In fact, BigHit lets them produce and write their own music. In short, unlike any other companies and group, BigHit gave BTS the privilege to do what they want and to always relate the audience in their music. That is why they are called the Bulletproof BoyScouts in Korea because they said themselves that they want to protect and act like a bulletproof vest for the youth and for the people through the power of their music.

[@AlpacalypseProductions]

Elly Max Bulletproof Boyscouts.. to be like a bullet proof vest for the youth.. man we should have looked into this before we reacted. But we wanted reaction to be legitimately fresh. But thank you for the comment, you are not only showing us you love BTS but most importantly.. why you love them. We dig it!

[@ellymax2993]

Alpacalypse Productions Thank you. This is why we the fans are very much supportive with BTS because their music speaks a lot for us. I really am looking forward for you guys to react on BTS more. I recommend you watching the introduction videos. This link that I'm going to post here is my most recommended one because it really talks about the group and the members on what and who they really are as an artist. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/emeVgXyYl7Ogjrc

A little note for future videos of BTS you might react to; 9 times out of 10 Bighit doesn't copyright their music videos. They want their music to be shared around the world.

[@AlpacalypseProductions]

Maddison Brown we are learning this now haha the fact that we didn't have to dispute a CC claim.. really shocked us! The cuts were basically for moments when we all gazed in silence and all you heard was breathing.. we figured maybe trim that lol

[@indhirayudianifa1372]

For fake love mv, there are no CGI. Except for the flower petals. I recommend you guys to watch the behind the scene of fake love :)

[@chimmybot6133]

Everything in Fake love is real, no effects or anything like that. So fire, water, background all real

[@allie6017]

“That’s some great effects” WHAT EFFECTS THERES NO CGI

[@AlpacalypseProductions]

Allie_V 06 okay to be completely fair, with zero experience in Kpop and seeing something non North American after so many movies and mv's... We were like oh it's gotta be cg.. it's so good.. reading the comments.. god damn were we duped hard lol

[@allie6017]

Alpacalypse Productions I can imagine...I’m army and I was shook myself tbf. I’ve only been a fan for 3-4 months

[@wegonfindyouwegonfindyou4355]

If you want to watch more BTS music videos in the future, please turn on captions so you understand what they are saying. :) Trust me, it will be more enjoyable actually understanding the lyrics.

[@chinmayimanda9926]

Well, you want someone getting hit by a cake? I recommend “Spring Day” by BTS. RM almost gets hit with a cake😂😂

[@lilyestorion6850]

Guys please react more to BTS music videos.💓

[@enicole1203]

so BTS music videos are all part of a storyline that's been going on since 2015. The candybars, water, and fire are all significant to the story as they are referencing things that have happened in the past for each of those characters. The fact that there was SO MUCH (water, fire, candy) I would interpret as them becoming overwhelmed with the memories they were trying to suppress. The thing is, they have never confirmed any of the storyline, so it's up to the fans to watch and theorize about what's going on. That's one of the most fun parts of BTS music videos. If you're ever up to taking the challenge of seeing if you can figure it out, the story starts in the mv called I Need U. Good luck! :D

[@bangtanforever9232]

”That’s my new life passion” Lmao well that sounds familiar

[@girlwithluv_and_ugh9975]

Watch their behind the scenes. It’s very minimal CGI, only when needed. Everything is real. And there’s always CC’s

[@kevinlee9611]

Good video, and while I agree alot of money was spent on the music video, its probably not as easy as just throwing money at it. After all, very few successful artists in the US make cool music videos, let alone ones like this. I think BTS does such a good job getting their message/aesthetic across through their choreography, cinematography, fashion and music all together in one package BTS are also known for their versatility in genre - Pop, Rap, R&B, Ballad, Latin, Funk, EDM etc. They're also different from other current Kpop bands (I can't get into other groups at all) in that they're very authentic not manufactured (produce/co-produce their own music) and write songs about difficult topics that are usually a taboo to talk about in Korea

[@AlpacalypseProductions]

Kevin Lee we agree, from the comments of the fans alone, shout out #army lol, we got to see more of them and really dive into what makes BTS well BTS. We couldn't look away and since our reactions are in real time we got very absorbed into the production value, art direction and look of the music video. I'm sure the more we rewatch the more we'll see. Eye opening to say the least!

[@juuuy4479]

Kevin Lee ㅣ

[@whoareyou8199]

I like how you guys shared your own thoughts about the MVs at the last part of the video!

[@parkminniemin5327]

BTS’s is initially a kpop group leaning to hiphop genre so Mic Drop is closer to BTS’s older music. The older songs were good, they don’t age 😂. 2 of the rappers were underground rappers, 1 is part of a hiphop dance crew, and 4 vocalists. All of the members participate in writing lyrics of the songs, Suga (rapper) and RM (rapper) were said to be an all rounder. They produce and compose tracks, along with their producers.

[@itsmyothermeyay]

its more like a technology/system which constructed & differ by agencies. the bigger an agency, stronger financial stability.. the more complex their training system is (singing, dancing, acting, languages, ceremony conducting, visual management, how to do in variety show etc). big hit didnt hve resources/finance for extravagant training system for their trainees (small company & financial problem). the reason bts took 3 years (2010-2013) to debut was bcoz the ceo are still searching for the members in that time 😅. of course bts members called it as "trainee period". the moment the last member joined bts in late 2012, the company has started preparing for bts debut & set its date (middle of 2013). to be distinct from others, to put themselves among those skilled trainees, bts put out so many contents for fans since day 1, 2010 (free musics & vids, unofficial mvs, vlogs, blogs etc). thats why as their fame rose, they were known with active social network contents (which prolly they dont expect).

[@intanpermatasari1160]

more BTS MV please :) Just suggestion, 1 MV per video and no cutting. I like your reaction btw!!

[@ruthlessrays9761]

Guys, here's a simple suggestion, turn the CC on for english captions so you'll know what they're talking about. Most BTS mvs have english subtitles.

[@heoniebee9566]

Everything in this MV has meaning...actually BTS are super extra and ALL their MVs are part of a larger storyline. To answer your question, the candy bars (and the carnival equipment J-Hope has locked himself inside a room with) are symbolic of his character’s story arc within the BTS MV universe. Hoseok (J-Hope’s real name and the name of his character in the MVs) was abandoned by his mother at a carnival and she left him only a chocolate bar. It is heavily implied (if not outright stated) in other MVs, that Hoseok then developed trust issues (him not letting Jeongguk into the room in Fake Love) and Munchausen Syndrome (his doctor’s chart in the MAMA short film, and his pills throughout the HYYH MVs). There’s also little nods of symbolism for each member’s MV-verse characters. Yoongi and fire, Jimin and water, Namjoon and shipping crates & mirrors, etc. I won’t get into the symbolism of all that here, we’d be here all day lol. But you can watch the other MVs and theory vids if you wanna know more. ;)

[@chimmyandsophiethehuskies6199]

Now you've seen Fake Love's MV. Welcome to BTS' fictional world, that we call BTS' UNIVERSE: THE FICTIONAL WORLD OF BANGTAN. You see, BTS have this story line that runs through their series of music videos, short films and highlight reels. This story line started from their MOST BEAUTIFUL MOMENT IN LIFE ALBUM (HYYH) to their WINGS ALBUM until their LOVE YOURSELF (HER & TEAR) ALBUMS. Everything is connected to the story, that's the reason why there are a lot of symbolism in each of their MVs. (for eample: In the FAKE LOVE MV, what connects J-hope to the Sickers, Jimin and the water, Suga and the fire, RM and the mirror, V and the cellphone, Jin and the flower, and on the teaser the objects that they and what they trade it for, etc.). There's a DEEPER meaning of everything, I mean literally DEEPER than what you think. There is so much more to discover about BTS, not just thei music, artistry, talent, lyrics, etc. The whole cinematic universe(fiction) they got going on is another layer that adds so much into their crafts. Music videos and films that was included in the story line (IN ORDER - according to date posted): -I NEED U (19+ original version) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJvWnKKInZ16iqc -On stage: PROLOGUE kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYDNZXuef8uUjrs -RUN kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXzcpIKEp7igm9k -Young Forever: EPILOGUE kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpPZdmN8i8RqZrc -WINGS 7 SHORT FILMS *BEGIN - Jungkook kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKecfmp8qN1lg6c *LIE - Jimin kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn_QZ5qGnphloLs *STIGMA - V kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXipdH-PjLB3qbs *FIRST LOVE - Suga kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZDRdaSNitmYp7M *REFLECTION - RM kzbin.info/www/bejne/amGYg2SMg6x3rtk *MAMA - J-hope kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5-piYavd6-thZY *AWAKE - Jin kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYC6Yp6frdFnppY -BOY MEETS EVIL kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3uthJtjmqqXiM0 -BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS kzbin.info/www/bejne/np6oapljiaqoqsU -HIGHLIGHT REEL kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3nHfGiLZ82ZatE -LOVE YOURSELF HER: Serendipity kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHawkntviNJmorM -LOVE YOURSELF WONDER: Euphoria kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYmTp4Jqq9F9q7c -LOVE YOURSELF TEAR: Singularity kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmnRoXd9Z9qfgbM -FAKE LOVE kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXSVq2d9ptaGa6c Extended version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epCZgqCCa9d4rs0

Spring day guys I would like you to react to BTS spring day, and the making videos of Fake love and Micdrop !

[@monikakrell9251]

This guys are from a small Company, so when the started out in 2013 the had no budget. The had to use Managers and producers cars and theme self in the video, so the have struggled from start. Usally small Companys artist dont get big, there ar 3 big Companys in SouthCorea the have the many and a lot off artist. Bts is 7 guys the write and produced most off there songs, the are 3 rappers and 4 vocalist. The lyrics is about Young peoples struggling, social and menthal problems. Today the are the biggest boygroup in the World, the have won Billboard Top Social Award 2 years in a road, performed at Amas and Billboard. Our fan name is Army

[@ninnibri416]

"THIS IS MY NEW LIFE PASSION!" 😁😂

[@sunmi285]

lmao laughed when I heard this, "WELCOME TO THE CLUB"

[@modzy54]

omg yeah same it's reminds me of twentyonepilots' holding on to you mv. And like TOP, this group started from the bottom, talking about mental health, youth, social politics and their snapping songs to the haters like : cypher 1-4 and ddaeng, you should check those bops

[@vsbaretummysugastonguetech1540]

Lol I was going to educate you on how fake love is part of a much bigger story, that BTS has been adding to since I Need U 18+ version. To be able to understand everything in Fake Love, you would need to have watched about 20 vids.

[@parkminniemin5327]

Thank you for reacting to them. The fire, water, and floors aren’t CG. BigHit ent. Confirmed it. I suggest reacting to their other songs though and fanmade videos to give you an idea how they behave usually, as well as how they came to be.

[@aquanioo]

*so what are they saying* me: they have english subtitles u always have to look “it’s korean duh” me: y’all- *exits room*

[@brendatomines8171]

Guys the hole it's wayy more deep that it looks , BTS produce their own songs and write the lyrics , to express their feeling , every video has a different Messenge and a lot of subliminal scenes , the fandom go crazy with theorys .

[@SurPoenya]

The CC/subs is available for almost every BTS official MV, you can turn on to understand the lyrics. And for each MV there is behind the scene video. You can search "Fake love MV Shooting Bangtan subs". Watch the MV Shooting and you'll see there is no CG in Fake Love. The waterfall, fire, snickers, falling floor, etc all are real

[@stephdaniels798]

If you watch the behind the scenes video, the fire explosion, the floor falling, the water were all 100% real

[@knittingforever]

no CG here. There is Fake love MV behind the scene shooting.

[@yuujikun712]

I rolled my eyes so much at this.

[@Orion_TheyThem]

The water and fire and explosions were all real. No CGI. You should go watch their "Making Of" videos. It takes you behind the scenes.

[@AlpacalypseProductions]

Yeah! We had to do the behind the scenes (which is up on the playlist wink wink) because up until then we were like.. noo.. no way and then watching it was like whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! We learned haha -G

[@Orion_TheyThem]

@@AlpacalypseProductions oh sweet. I must've scrolled right past it. Glad you guys are checking BTS out. They're a great group and bunch of crazy goofs. Their interviews and any crack vids you can find and react to would be great. It definitely gives you more insight into who these guys are. 😂

[@suran6244]

React to their dance practices, you'll be blown away

[@wildlotus4339]

Turn on the CC for the English Subtitle ! I like BTS mainly because of their lyrics. You miss a lot if you do not know what they are singing about.

[@bambi-btsbangtanjin3888]

Thanks for this reaction video.. btw Bighit is not strict with their MV copyright to youtubers. So there's no need for you to cut it from time to time.. pls react also to their MV Not Today, DNA, Dope, Spring Day. BTS genre is different that's why we don't call them kpop. They are the only group in Korea who is not from the Big3 company and BTS also write and produce their own songs..

[@AlpacalypseProductions]

Bambi-BTS BangtanJin curious what do you categorize the music under? For us here in North America searching Kpop brings up BTS... But we all know north america is wrong quite often haha so to correct that what genre do you place it under?

[@disturbedminds4you]

You guys should react to the behind the scenes for fake love and mic drop. BTS uses very little to no green screen. Or any introduction video so you can start to learn the members and what BTS is all about. ❤

[@liamarie6267]

when they skipped my favorite part of mic drop my heart dropped

[@ph0_]

If you think their music videos and their dancing is impressive. You need to watch their live performances! They always kill it with their singing and dancing!

[@angelybonilla3813]

react please to "BTS: FROM NOBODIES TO LEGENDS" and react to "Who is BTS? : The Seven Members Of Bangtan" Enjoy. no matter how long the videos last, we'll see them. PS: Thanks for your reaction.

[@nobody-rw6ep]

you can watch their fake love music video behind the scenes . it’s all real . they actually poured gallons of water . and fire blowing up . concrete flying in . yep all real . No cgi. You can see it in their behind the scenes it’s all real . even the floor falling its all real and it took a lot of time to build .

[@Brendinevans]

Fake Love, Fake Love, Fake Love! So catchy...

[@lissurko5267]

You should totally watch the behind the scenes videos for these two MVs! It will show you the process and how everything comes together💜(don't forget to look for the english sub videos though👌)

[@lan1749]

Btw you don’t need to cut BTS’s MVs you won’t get copyright because BTS’s company BigHit Entertainment sees reaction videos as promotion so you can include the whole video. But you will have to cut for any “live musicbank” stages and any of their Japanese music because they are under a different company when making music in Japanese.

[@김윤지-l8d]

The falling floor is real, it's not edited nor what so ever, hahaha you can watch behind the scenes of it

[@princesscami122099]

*YES YES I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS! MORE BTSSSS😃❤️*

[@user-wj1lx6he8i]

Fake love is like their bringing back their trauma and Mic drop was for haters

[@taetaewifeubtsa.r.m.y9901]

if you doubt it as CG..I want to suggest you guys to watch making of these MVs..you will know how they booked the whole ass highway for micdrop..and how the floor falls on FAKE LOVE 😊💜 You can watch the MVs with captions..they have it and yes you will love the lyrics too💜

[@idontevenknow2444]

I thought the girl was the one that watched k pop before bc she was in the middle but then she’s like “are they boys” and I’m like 0-0 gurlllll

[@emmadaye1288]

When the floor was falling it wasn’t the effects. If you still don’t believe me watch the behind the scenes of the mv and you’ll see that jk had to run in real life.

[@suasuasuasuasuaus]

not a CG in fake love M/V 😂 check out behind the scene !

[@ellie_jeann]

Everything BTS uses in their MVs is REAL (NO CGI) just allot of extreme editing plus CC are always available for all of BTS MVs...oh the good thing about Bighit being a small record company is that there’s no need to really worry about copyright issues or blocks b/c they copyright all of BTS MVs and Dance Practices before posting them. It’s only for certain videos that might be copyrighted or strikes are variety live performances, interviews, clips/videos of the members etc! So, there’s NO need to pause, skip, cutout, low volume, super small pop screen...you are safe with Bighit!!

[@Kayla-wn5pe]

as trainees, they also learn other languages so they can communicate with international fans more. and also you don't have to cut the video for reactions because bighit won't charge you of copyrights, only their Japanese YT Channel/company/management do that.

[@purpleballoons123]

Maybe you won't understand the Music video concept because there is a story that their songs create together and if you don't know it, you won't understand but ¡YOU WILL ENJOY IT!
