BTS being Extra - American Reaction

[@lindaphethachanh165]

They are just close brothers that are touchy. Culture difference from Korea and America.

[@33llie]

the behavior that seems "flirty" to you is behavior that people unfamiliar with korean culture might misunderstand. culturally, korea views affection in a different way than some western cultures do. in korea, men are very open to physical affection which they don't view as being "flirty" or "gay" if they do it with friends unlike some western cultures often do. they are just showing familial/friendly affection that sometimes they don't realize they are showing and other times they are trying to annoy/tease each other. they all view each other as family and are as close as actual brothers can be. some members are more affectionate than others like jimin who very often shows affection because of his openly caring and playful personality and others who aren't as affectionate like suga who prefers to show affection in other ways and has a more serious personality.

[@purplearmy6000]

John cena is an ARMY and his bias is J-hope 😁 but he love all the members

[@zhairamaeursal2253]

Yieeee good to hear that!! 😍😍

[@dalantis8547]

And RM, he named both.

[@yourmoonchild1420]

Sooooo, for the future some questions that I heard need answering: You’re going to notice the members are more touchy than what a typical American friendship between guys are. It’s just in their culture physical interactions between males don’t have the same meaning as it does over here. Another thing is that in this video all these clips were from around the time of the BBMAs last year and BTS have been to America plenty of times before (I think for all the members except one, they all went to America for the first time for a variety show back in 2014) so just to keep that in mind. And Antonio you were pretty much right for the reason they are so popular. BTS make sure to engage with fans on a regular basis, from variety shows to live streams to just a simple twitter post, this constant interaction has kept ARMY hooked and always coming back for more~ PS; You guys noticed the repetition of interview questions 😂😂💜

[@rhymeswithsorry9382]

They definitely interact with Army a lot! It ranges from their shows ( run Bts, bon voyage, comeback shows, etc), live-streams, documentaries, docu-series, Twitter, KZbin (bangtan bombs, dance practices), mobile app games (superstar Bts, Bts world, BT21 game), LINE characters called BT21 and so much more. But tbh, them being genuine, the messages through their music and words, taking the time to share and actually caring about us is what makes us stay. The other things are bonuses and we are blessed to have them. Thanks for reacting!

[@viento8079]

Korean people don't hug when they greet but they could be very touchy when they feel really comfortable each other.😊

[@marirezende8478]

Yoongi doesn't really bother answering questions if they are not about their music lol you can see the difference between a serious interview and a playful one by how he acts, if the interview is actually talking about their music he will probably talk a lot, if it's just random questions he tends to stay quiet and let the others answer.

[@sleepyfromstress6524]

I think a big reason why they are so popular is because they are simply *kind* . Like in Korea, kpop idols are referred to as "idols" because they are supposed to be role models for the youth (good personality, humble, kind, hard-working, polite, etc). And although basically all idols in Korea are like this, Bts is different because they are unabashedly genuinely nice people. Like, if you were to imagine going to high-school with them, they wouldn't be the cool-but-unapproachable kids, but rather the kids who would be happy to lend you an eraser if you forgot yours (keep in mind this is taking into consideration their personalities off stage). And this is one of the big cultural differences between Korea (and other east-Asian countries) and the West (America, England, etc). Celebrities or idols have a different kind of impact and purpose in Asia. They aren't the people who are prolific providers of scandal and entertainment, but rather sources of comfort, laughter, and inspiration. So although their providing lots of content is a factor in their success, I think it is important to note that the content wouldn't be as enjoyable if they weren't the lovable, sunshine-radiating, good-hearted people they are.

[@Mitchis_Euphoria]

You are correct bts shows a lot of there personalities and that’s one of the reasons they have a loyal fanbase.

[@Jojac0la]

12:35 fun fact: John Cena actually is part of the BTS Army and is a huge J-Hope fan xD

[@monikakrell9251]

Jungkook got to performed whid Charlie Puth live whid his song We Dont Talk Anymoore. And all 3 rappers have there own Mixtape, and the vocalist have there song together. Rm have collab whid Wale, Falloutboy, Warren G, Bts have collab whid Ed sheeran, Nicki Minaj, Charlie Puth, Chainsmokers, Steve Aoki Zara Larsson, Charlii, Juice, . The have performed at Billboard, Amas, America Got Talent, SNL, The Voice, Ellen, Jimmy Fallon, Good Morning America, , James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel,Cplber show, Dick Clark, and the where invited to Grammys as a presenter

[@jessfairy8847]

Not to mention I don’t remember any artist who has spoken at the United Nations and BTS has.

[@snisa92]

BTS know alot of western artists because they study music as they make own music too. Sometimes, they even knew alot of western indie artists. Each member have own spotify lists and you could see their favourite style of music.

[@isabelylimavaz6019]

OH MY GOD YOU TWO ARE SO CALM IT'S DULL BUT THANK YOU FOR TAKING A LITTLE TIME OF YOUR TIME TO REACTION WITH THESE INCREDIBLE HUMAN BEINGS

[@joaniewwh3502]

"they're part-time comedians" hahaha i love this, julian! 💜

[@leahhhx]

The guy was right about yoongi being the shy one in interviews

[@ApobangpoBorashae7]

Yea they actually have a variety show call Run!BTS that fans can watch for free on a Korean streaming service called V Live and they do missions, complete challenges, and do many other activities in which they can earn prizes or punishments. That’s why sometimes, some of the members are wearing silly outfits at the airport as a punishment. Also after every music video release, they release a dance practice video so fans can learn the dance moves from the mv. They also use V Live to talk to the fans live . They show us their personalities and a lot of artists in the US don’t do that. In the US, they only care about pushing out a project and making money. On BTS Twitter account they actually tweet personal stuff like what they are doing on vacation, not work stuff. They let BigHit deal with the work stuff. That’s why they feel like friends.

[@PurpleForest]

Really enjoy how in touch you are about what makes BTS different/popular, like when you were talking about their open interaction with fans. Great analysis.

[@JoyColinTV]

wow, as Korean I totally understand their reaction, we tried English ver. reaction several times. it was very difficult. I think that's why we can see BTS' pure and honest reactions💜 thank you for your reaction

[@Paminjapan]

BTS considers themselves as ARMY and they are our friends. They communicate with us and they troll us big time, they know everything we do as they are as fascinated with us as much as we are with them. This unique relationship between artist and fan is revolutionizing global music in many ways and is the first to make such an impact on the masses and a HUGE THANK YOU to Tim Berners-Lee who invented the 'Intergalactic Network'....... the World Wide Web!

[@monikakrell9251]

We can watch anything whid Bts, behind scenes, Bangtan Bombs there show called Run it aires evry week is over 80 ep. We can also watch when the have been on holiday like Bon Voyage 1 Scandinavia, Bon Voyage 2 Hawai and Bon Voyage 3 Malta, also after the have been ob Billboard, Amas there company sends out a video from that event, så we can be whid theme and see what the felt during Billboard or Tv shows

[@umida2558]

They are full time comedians and half time artists

[@LillianOglethorpe]

10:15 - you hit the nail on the head. I got into Kpop in late 2011, and one of the things I noticed early on was: 1. How much more the idols are engaged in talk shows, variety shows, challenges and competitions, etc. compared to western performers, and 2. How much of the idols’ personality not only comes through, but how they are encouraged to show the quirky sides of themselves. BTS has taken it to a whole other level of course. (For those who would take issue with how I seem to have lumped BTS into Kpop-I know, I know... BTS is their own thing. I agree. I can’t dismiss it entirely, because they do have their origins in Kpop. One of the things that grabbed me from their debut was how unique they were in style and content, so they set themselves apart from the beginning. As they’ve grown they continue to set themselves apart. At the very least, they are most certainly redefining Kpop. And it’s 100% true that you will find no one else like them on either side of the ocean. And I’m really glad for that. They’re a music industry unicorn, and I love it. 💜

[@kookiemuncher257]

10:24 yesss i love their bond and personalities for sure! They have a lot of shows and vlogs that show that. In their Bangtantv channel and vlive channel

[@viento8079]

You know BTS has 3 rappers and they started with very hip-hop based music so they have many rap songs. You could start with Cypher 1, 2, 3, 4 which are their responses to their haters. They put 1 cypher in a album before so you could see their progress. Each rapper released their mix tapes so you could see their solos... RM : Joke, Do You... SUGA : Agust. D.... J-HOPE : Daydream... Of course there're more but you could start from them. If you want to see their early MVs, watch the ones in 1theK channel becuz they have captions. Press CC.

[@heavanaparicio5707]

They did go to the Grammys and were nominated for best recording package they didn’t win but presented and award for HER when she one // the nomination alone is an achievement since it the first time it has ever happened

[@ringmania]

John Cena is actually an well-known BTS ARMY..LOL As well as Dylan O'Brien, Mage Williams, Max Minghella, Ansel Elgort, and more.. :)

[@cassandradenise3037]

I'm loving these back to back BTS reactions .. Keep it up!! You guys mentioned about The Boys being flirty with eachother because of the touching . That's apart of their culture **SkinShip** @1:44 their not confused lol, Jimin was actually staring at the interviewer for a long period of time in real life ** No Edits Involved / Let's just say Jimin has a little thing for the interviewer

[@sitinurazah9312]

Please reacting to their mv ... This is my suggest : Idol Fire Dope Save me Fake love Mic drop ....,And many more ..

[@bee12117]

I hope you know that a lot of times BTS are sort of torrling interviewers because questions are.... not so inteligent. Grammy museum is actually one of few when they ask good questions and you can lern a lot about their work proces. Also this video is very good introduction to their music. It short 10 min. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXPYfIKPjsahiM0

[@bellacandilada4145]

That’s true. The interview at Grammy museum is what I love the most of all their interviews in America. It’s a very insightful interview where you able know deeper into their music, writing songs, production and more. I love it when an interviewer would ask them about their music and their thoughts about serious topics, their capabilities as artists.

[@Laya-Rose]

Whalien 134340 YES!😃👌🏻

[@ishtar990]

Its catch 22 BTS didnt do many variety shows in Korea as they were treated poorly, HOWEVER they posted alot of behind the scene's and their own shows like BTS Run & V live etc which were all very funny. But to get known overseas they had to promote via intervews & shows like radio disney & ellen etc. So their personality is the same as it would be if in korea but they have a free'er platform to show themselves on. But you are right western artists fail to connect with their fanbase, their fanbase can be loyal but only to a degree kpop fanbases are very different and completely loyal.....

[@andreasirael2691]

of course it is edited like this, but also there is no need for them to act seriously as celebrities...they are just they are, and they don't consider themselves as celebrities. This video is full of inside jokes only army can understand. This touchy moments are only between true friends know each other a long time. They have no problem to praise someones (men) beauty, body proportion, behavior even if it is between man. They live together 24/7 from 2010, they are like brothers, family members, they really love each other, if you hug your best friend or brother it is not consider as a gay in Korea. If it look like flirting, they often teasing each other that way, but withour prejudice. This is just another cultural aspect, just be open minded.

[@lexialeana3058]

You said that you are a rapper, and Outro: Tear is my favorite song from the rap line (a song on a BTS album performed by just the rappers), and The Truth Untold is my favorite song from the vocal line (a song on a BTS album performed by just the vocalists). Paradise is an amazing song with all 7! It would be awesome if you guys could react to those three in a video at one point! Kendrick Lamars producer went to BTS's concert in LA and said that Outro: Tear was his favorite song of the set, and the lyrics to the three songs are all reaction worthy. Please give it a thought!

[@bee12117]

Paradise is not vocal line song. 7 of them is in it.

You don't need captions for fan made videos. They are most likely auto generated captions and wrong anyway.

[@rhoannamonroe5729]

BTS music videos are very deep and complex. To get all of what is going on here, you can watch Persona explained by a channel called DKDK Tv. They often do explanation videos for BTS to help get the context of what is going on. This song, this album and the next two albums following are inspired my the book Map of the Soul by Carl Jung. Let's just say a whole lot of psychology is involved.

[@simplymarvelousliving]

Yo who df did the captions on this? For future reference, with fan-made videos, you shouldn’t have captions on.

[@aGumball]

They didn't edit that part when Jimin was staring at the interviewer. He was actually staring and everybody turned to look at him when it was his turn 😂😂

You should watch some bts run episodes on vlive - it's like their own entertaimnent show/games/challenges combined. After being treated unfairly and in a condescending way on variety shows they decided to basicly make their own and it was a hit, you'll be loling on the floor they are so funny in them. Great insight to why they are liked, cheers!

[@dinesale8791]

[@shandramemoirs]

Keep in mind that all these compilation videos are edited weirdly to showcase something that wasn’t as important or even noteworthy in the actual interview. Yeah, like everyone else explain, it’s a different culture and they are definitely more comfortable with “bromance” than the typical western culture but some of those parts (as you pointed out at the beginning of the video) are simply edited and cut weirdly. I honestly don’t suggest watching any of those compilation videos aside from the intro one you did at first. Majority aren’t worth it. If you want to see funny content, watch Run. That series is for the most part, hilarious and you can actually see what bangtan is like through your own view and not someone else’s. Just be careful about reacting to it. Like I said previously, Naver is pretty possessive and if they find you, might come for you.

So are they KPOP or not lol?

[@didxdrama]

BTS are kpop they have been from 2013 they even say it themself some times. and hitman bang (the CEO) debut them as a kpop group they have also have the same roles like Visual, lead singer, lead rapper, lead dancer and all of that and they are Trained like in kpop but the thing is that people believe kpop is just pop but kpop are various music genre in one It’s some new fans who dont know what they are talking about And i am sorry for misspelling English is not my first language

[@lexialeana3058]

Just a heads up that ur gonna get a lot of comments about how BTS aren't kpop; they are! They have said themselves that they are kpop and are proud of it. People who tell you they aren't are trying to distance BTS from the stereotypes that western people have towards asian musicians in general; that they are manufactured, plastic, company slaves, etc.... and while BTS Do have more creative freedom than the majority of kpop groups, trying to separate them from the rest to try and make liking them more palatable for westerners has really gross, mildly racist undertones. It is with good intentions, but its wrong. BTS is kpop! And thats okay lol!

[@sophiebybophie]

You do know even in Korea Kpop isn't treated seriously? It's a joke, seen as fake and manufactured. BTS is practically the only group causing people to give kpop a second look.

[@lexialeana3058]

@@sophiebybophie kpop is seen in korea the same way the western general public viewed our boybands like one direction,, its a pop group marketed towards primarily young adult women. Its gonna have the same stigmas that come along with that, no matter what culture its in. They're still kpop though, and other kpop groups still deserve respect as artists even if you dont follow or like them ! ~

[@vminimoni]

bts said themselves that they dont want to label themselves and that they dont care what we call them bc bts is just bts. some will call them kpop while others wont but there are korean music critics and koreans who dont consider bts to be kpop. some act like the ppl who dont wanna call bts kpop is the equivalent of us saying bts arent korean when that is definitely not the case. armys have always been proud of the fact that bts are korean artists achieving great things but what armys dont like is seeing bts' huge accomplishments being labeled as kpop accomplishments instead of bts' own. bts success =/= kpop success.

[@iamaimie]

It's okay not to call BTS KPOP because for one Kpop is not a genre of music. It is an Industry with certain practices that non of those apply to BTS. The only reason why people call them Kpop is because they started from there but you can just call them South Korean Boy Band. KPOP like I said has certain practices that don't fit BTS at all and that Kpop tag is boxing them in that small category/it's limiting. They are beyond Kpop whether you like it or not so we like to drop that tag and just call them Worldwide Superstar BTS.
