BTS - Deep Dive Day 1: Rappers ft. Alex & Therese!

[@AudioAddictionmedia]

quick callout that if you hear anything you disagree with or want to correct, please do! i genuinely want to provide the most clear information of bts to anyone who is curious. As such, a couple of self-corrections as I'm monitoring: - big shoutout to reddit user baepsayed, they have an amazing thread on pre-debut bts www.reddit.com/r/bangtan/s/RQot3RknJ2 - on RM's rap i dont feel like i did justice for how far he's come as a singer, he obviously put a lot of work into his voice because it sounds amazing - on j-hope's rap, while he's talked about being the least experienced rapper, he's worked extremely hard on creating his own style and it shows! - I also forgot to mention that the studio version of Paldogangsan actually has all seven members in it! I meant to include the 2011 version with just the rap line but didn't have time to add the translated subtitles in a video I could put on the playlist. so lazily I added a lyric video that only shows the three of them. I apologize, I think that was the wrong choice in hindsight. but we will continue showcasing the seven members throughout the month! This is one of the most interesting songs BTS has put out so I recommend checking out this video for more context: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omWbq4hnnZVjoNksi=fqxTb5QST3IF0DdD

[@OT7_DopeOldARMY]

Also, “least experienced” is pretty relative at this point. I mean, 13 1/2 years isn’t really INexperienced, which “least experienced” kind of infers.

[@Jaydope_]

Please make more reactions for J-HOPE !

[@sarahomar8351]

Keep reacting to more of the rap line both as a group and as solos there are way too many masterpieces they haven't seen yet. For the vocal line you have to show them these: Singularity, Slow dancing, Serendipity, Set me free pt. 2, Still with you, Standing next to you, The astronaut, House of cards, and The truth untold

[@candicesmith-mackenzie6303]

I think it would be helpful if you gave newbies the dates of the songs. Saying Chapter 2 isn't going to mean anything yet. There is a big difference between 2013, 2018 and now. Other than that, love what you are doing. Very cool. 😘💜🫶🏻🫰🏻

[@lovevideos1699]

You forgot to mention that Yoongi during his last tour stop last year finally went through the door. It was a powerful moment at the end of his tour.

[@whaliensuperstar]

i think it is important to talk about bts’s struggles specifically concerning their career bc it really gives context to their music and choices. bighit being a small company, bts being bullied heavily by k-pop fans and the media from debut even til this day, and them not having many opportunities for multiple years post debut is the basis and lyrical focus of 2/3 of the rapline’s first solo mixtapes. these things forced them to make different music, career choices, and value different things than other idols. i don’t think their “underdog story” can be separated from them. thanks for checking out bts!!

[@AudioAddictionmedia]

I totally get you, we'll definitely talk about that more a bit when we get into some of their full group discography just for this video I wanted to keep it lighthearted and focus on their artistry as individuals thank you for the feedback! -therese

[@memyoldie]

I agree, they speak about their struggles so much in their lyrics that it is essential to understanding their music.

[@crushedflora2696]

​@AudioAddictionmedia smart way of doing it with more context of the group vs solos. Important to know they didn't rise quickly to fame but it already alot of info to consume w/ the solos.

[@onenottwoorthree]

I take an expansive view because there are just so many layers/aspects to bts that it’s entirely possible to appreciate them without necessarily knowing the underdog story. For a more complete/deeper understanding though, of course it’s a critical piece. It’s a long journey to more fully understand their story (there’s so much of it!) and we all take different routes to get there. ☺️

[@kookiemuncher257]

I think a first deep dive it is nice to keep it light and casual.

[@stefyflor2]

39:55 BTS did not rise to fame early. Quite the opposite. They had to be two years into their career just to win a music show award. And then be accused by fans of the big three companies that they bought their own albums cause they could not believe an 'unimportant' group from a small company was selling well. They were taken to court for this. And won. They were constant in their growth, they grew bit by bit until they became a problem for the big Kpop companies in 2016 and then a problem for the American music industry by 2018. Their fame can only seem sudden to someone who assumes they debuted in 2018, 2019. You assume the fact that they just were seemingly 'out of nowhere' unavoidable by 2018, 2019 in the music scene that their rise to fame was quick. That is not the case. They had been continuously gaining fans since debut, in 2013. By 2015, they were in direct competition with the big 3 Kpop companies' groups. But media in Korea is heavily biased towards the big 3 Kpop companies (SM, JYP and YG) because they own them. Even nowadays, with how BTS is considered Korea's biggest act, with the economic impact they bring to their country, they are still not supported by the media. Because BTS comes from an independent label and all their support has come from their fans. They never needed the media or the Kpop industry. And they resent that because they can't make money off them. The same is with the American music industry. They are not singed to any American music label and instead only have a distribution deal with UMG. The American music industry hates that and have been putting roadblocks in their path from the beginning. Their history is very important to understanding their music. Their hardships shows the type of artist they are and the type of corrupt industry they managed to survive within and then leave completely in the dust. (if radio which is basically pay for play would not count on the billboard charts, BTS would take all those no 1's, all the time). Some of these songs are like diary entries, an understanding about the artist's circumstance is needed in order to try and comprehend where they're coming from. Their music is good, well produced. It will sound good, no matter what. But I think the lyricism and context elevates a song and it's a show of respect to try and understand an artist's mindset when writing their music.

[@AudioAddictionmedia]

thank you so much for all of the info! you're absolutely right, "early" wasn't the right word to use since they had quite the organic growth. I more wanted to emphasize the quick jump to fame in terms of the global music industry, as it was told in Beyond the Story: they went from being nichely popular to being a household name (at least in America) and the members themselves talked about how they felt shocked at the reception, they were working so hard they felt like they never saw it coming. I think from different perspectives it could seem a very short time (like for locals/the gp) but from fans like us it was recognition that was almost overdue. Mentioning micro celebrities isn't an accurate comparison I realize, at the time I thought it was relevant to what we see more now but I admit that wasn't a great explanation. they've definitely come a long way and we'll talk more about their history when we get into the ot7 tracks on June 13th! I hope you can make it to the chat and help keep us on the right track, seriously it's much appreciated 🙏🏽 -Therese

In 2014 Big Hit became the 6th best selling label in SK and in 2015 they were the second best. That is pretty much ONLY BTS. I found those numbers fascinating. But since they had no mainstream media backing their first win was a "surprise" and not a pleasent one for the industry.

I would recommend to watch j-hope's Lollapalooza stage, he was the first korean to be a headliner for a reason! This man is not only an amazing rapper, singer, writer...but he shines alone because this man is a performer! The best one. Its hard to find incredible male performer these days

[@eileencritchley4630]

J Hope as solo artist Headlined Lollapalooza Chicago and killed it and he holds the record for the most attended concert for the history of Lollapalooza over 100,000 people in attendence and more of us viewing worldwide on the live stream. It was a full on Rap all the way through.

[@Jjhisnwhshe]

MORE release has always been the most surprising and extraordinary release. I cant name a single comeback that left me in such shock and awe. Jack in The Box in general is an album that I cant even expressed words with how much I love it.

[@SoggycereaI]

The hype leading up to it was insane, I remember the teasers and people being surprised at the makeup the band members were playing. I genuinely had a hard time believing J-Hope would outbeat Hopeworld [personally, not objectively] but wow, when it came out I was simply blown away. Then he was able to perform it at Lollapalooza which REALLY helped sell it too, I still go back to watch it sometimes.

[@jaelove.bts7]

@@SoggycereaIsame, the surprise was something else 😭

[@Jjhisnwhshe]

@@SoggycereaI he got the most likes on concept pics compared to any member and MORE is still the most liked video out of every member. He might not have a lot of fan that will dedicate all their time to stream/loop his music but he has a lot of fans that will appreciate his art and listen to it with love

[@seokzone]

j-hope is an incredibly unique and versatile performer. you'll never hear the same flow from him twice! i think that's why he usually gets the bridge/beat drops in bts ot7 songs. though it's true that he's known as the sunshine of the group, you can see he's a lot more layered and complex. i'm glad you started with boy meets evil because it shows his "darker" tone. his name was derived from the pandora's box of greek mythology: when all the evils were released to the world, only hope remained. he explores the different facets of his persona in his concept album jack in the box. hope you can check that project out, as well as his amazing lollapalooza performance.

[@cecillesalvan]

J-Hope's versatility never fails to blow me away. What a talent, what an artist!

[@Jaydope_]

Jhope really shocked me with his album, it's like a whole different JHOPE, a New prospect we’ve never witnessed, he let us get deep into his other sides, and it's a legendary side! A little bit darker but so gorgeous, this man is so talented and I would never get tired of speaking about how extremely significant his work is! He is the best dancer alive and guess what? You can know that he is a dancer without him dancing! By just listening to the beat you can know, he plays with the harmonies like a sip of water, walking through the melodies and making a beautiful balance, HOBI is a real musician

[@simonesimons9574]

Jhope’s lyrics are appreciated by writers and literature critiques as he uses a lot of metaphors and homonyms with various nuances and wordplay that’s why some time is difficult to translate in English.

[@Musicloveerr]

j-hope is so sincere to his craft. His rap has such an addictive flow. I recognize him first at Lollapalooza. Love how he can mix genres and experiment. His historic collab with J.Cole, on the street, is legendary. I recommend to give it a listen. Or MORE, real rock banger. Also new song NEURON from his album HOPE ON THE STREET, again collab with legendary hip-hop/rap artists.

[@vr3589]

J-Hope int nation in music is very pure. He expresses himself in a unique way and the way he uses his voice and the adlibs is wonderful. And he is a good vocalist as well

[@lee2mx]

maybe for non native korean speakers satoori rap is hard to understand but this song has academic studies and inspired many a discussion in Korea regarding satoori. BTS was ahead of their time esp in their early days. Love their music now too but I wouldn't call their old songs cringe. Lyrics were honest and refreshing and reminiscent of more 90s rap and hip hop.

[@arianesaldanhaa]

Hi guys! Seeing how much you liked Wild Flower by RM I would like to recommend Snooze By Agust D. It has amazing deep lyrics, with an amazing singer featuring in a beautiful chorus. If you ever do another BTS solos videos put it on your list, you won’t regret it (there isn’t a MV but there is a very beautiful fan made video here on KZbin with correct subtitles). Thanks for reacting and appreciating the boys 💜

J-hope is so insane, i just love his songs so much

[@anu5880]

I just wanted to say this, cuz i don't think any of you noticed but its not just rm that sings at the end of intro: nevermind but also jhope. He raps bfr RM. Not criticizing anyone, cuz i used to have difficulty differentiating hobi and yoongi's voices earlier too. Even for 'take two' for the part where all 3 rappers sing (just bfr Suga's verse) it was a bit of struggle to distinguish which part was sung by hobi.😊

[@AudioAddictionmedia]

Excited to hear their distinct styles and hopefully be able to pick them out by the end of this month haha! - Brandon

[@Jaydope_]

Boy Meets Evil by j-hope is a different kind of music, not only a song that you can listen and then skip, it pictures the dark emotions of people, jhope aka Jung hoseok always does this in a perfect way, he is so talented with explaining negative thoughts, strong desires, deep feeling, and the darkest sides of human being, and he does this through music, not only the lyrics that make you goosebumps every time but also dancing, he is the leader of dancing and we call him THE ACE, he is the standard for dancing, it amazes me every time I watch The MV, how he portrays the meaning of the song into dancing, so you can get into the song more, he gives me chills, this is my favorite work of J-HOPE!!

[@cybrpunk]

j-hope's "On the Street" with J. Cole (2023) would have been another one to listen to after More, to get yet another dimension of his style - more of a lo-fi hip hop vibe.

[@maryannbaxter73]

They keep growing , evolving and getting better by the minute. I have a special love for the 3 rappers. So talented and so unique. So clever lyrics and flows. Loved this deep dive. So hard to pick songs but you did a great job.

MORE BY J-HOPE!!!!!! I can't express my excitement in words!when he first announced his album I felt my body trembling,would it be dark?Full of passion? Colorful? Sad?Idk,but I knew it will be a masterpiece! And he didn't disappoint me , Jhope has his own way of rap, he is the sassy one, the savage, and he raps in a way you feel like he is humiliating that hater so hard, and making fun of him, that's why he is the most important one in any song they make, he puts a different vibe, like a cherry on top,he's my fav

[@Jaydope_]

J-hope is the most talented man alive! u can know who is he through his music, his passion, lyrics, and his delivery! Every second you spend listening to this man’s Art is a cure for u, a way for healing, he wakes your rage and feelings, he makes u feel alive

[@NanciBK]

In terms of solo work, the rap line was doing solo work and solo collabs from the beginning. RM and Suga has the most collabs with other artists, but so did j-hope, even before the debut of BTS, and continuing afterwards. Their solo albums started coming out in 2015, with RM's self-titled RM, then Suga/AgustD's AgustD in 2016, then RM's Mono and j-hopes Hope world in 2018, Suga's D-2 in 2020. Although they are titled as "Mixtapes" they are all really just self-produced solo albums that they released for free on SoundCloud. After those first 5 albums, their solo releases were in the Chapter 2 Era, starting with Jack in the Box and Indigo in 2022.

[@Anj_HOTS324]

BTS rapline is 🔥 they’re really the best in the industry. They shine as a sub unit of BTS and also as individual artist. I love their different styles but JHope’s versatility is the “it” for me. His albums are the testament to that, all uniquely different from each other , each telling a different story, showcasing his wide array of skills. I’m looking forward to what else he can show us on his future releases. Hope you can check out Hobipalooza , it was legendary 🔥 he also released 2 documentaries , JITB and just recently Hope on the street. Please react more live performances , they are amazing live.

These three BTS rappers are ALL amazing. Their styles are very different from one another. They are outstanding as solos but even more when their together, they complement one another. They try so many genres as with the group that is why when you listen to their music whether in the solo albums or group, you'll definitely love them. They have released mixtapes and official albums. Their passion in music is a gift to the world. Even in this 2nd chapter when they are in the military, (Jin will be coming back with us on the 12th) they produce allooooottttt of songs (all 7 of them) and each one is unique and show their versatility. You may think how in the world they are in one group. 😅😍 Thanks for your reaction. 💜

[@ihniwiad]

I totally understand what you are saying about Lost! feeling "jarring" after the first two songs... I'd definitely say listening to that album front to back will probably help give it context and fill out the experience and make it clear kind of how it fit and what he was going for, and it created a great experience overall. But as far as your analysis of the situation, it was nice to see how almost spot-on it was and where Namjoon's head was as he really NEEDED to get @#$! off his chest.

[@NanciBK]

Also their albums are concept albums, and listening to them in order always put everything on context. Plus every album is different.

[@amandaruno]

Please react to j-hope's new soundtrack album he made for his dance documentary of the same name! HOPE ON THE STREET

[@k8rip]

Hobi has a line in his song Base Line (from his mixtape hopeworld) that's: 'My rap shaped to the rhythm of my body', and I think that spells out what makes his rap style so different from the other two - learning to rap by connecting it to his pre-existing dance skills. He really does ride the beat. His flow is crazy, and his great singing voice lends even more to his more melodic style. Seconding everyone else saying Brandon should check out lollapalooza! (theres a two part version with subs on youtube), though going in after checking out more of his music might be a better experience.

[@HailToTheMeep]

So glad to have found this. Kpop conversations are often frustrating and lacking in nuance for those of us who came in from the mainstream and are often older with more experience in the real world and other genre of music and other forms of artistic expressions. So it is always a relieved being able to find a group of people who can just talk and appreciate music. New subscriber here. I’ll check you guys out on Twitch too.

[@AudioAddictionmedia]

We're totally with you, kpop is enjoyed by all ages but tends to be talked about most by younger people. There's nothing wrong with it, I think it's fantastic and shows the long lifespan of the industry! But it can also be hard to engage with for older fans. I hope we can make a safe space for the diverse fandoms that exist online. -therese

Hobipalooza is fire than JITB IS BOMm and Hope world is tsunami of emotions. Must watch On The Street with JCole.

He was putting the surgery off until he couldn't handle the pain anymore and had surgery in Nov 2020.

His shoulder is crash not only dislocated

[@NanciBK]

Yes, his shoulder was crushed. He lied about it, for various reasons, but the truth came out slowly over the years. Even his BTS brothers didn't know. He said he fell down some stairs and downplayed the severity of his injuries and hid his pain. We knew he was grumpy and tired and went from break dancing with j-hope for fun as a trainee, to avoiding dance, but we didn't know why for years.

I think non-Koreans need to check out Koreans reactions to Satoori Rap to understand it better. Because if you're not Korean you don't know it's so much dialect in their verses that if you're Korean but not from the parts it's hard to understand and then RM who is from just outside of Seoul never had the dialects like most of the others. I mean you can catch some of it from the lyrics but the dialects and regional expressions etc. gets lost in translation.

I think a few of the Korean reactors that were reacting 2 or more together talked about expressions from where they came from or things they thought was cool or just differences, and things like how certain dialects sounds friendly but others are more hard etc. It can be fun to watch and hear them talk about if you like stuff like that but you do absolutely not need to check it out and def no need to react to it.

oh no!! please clarify, I did use my main source as Beyond the Story but understandably I can get things wrong as a fan too. like we said we're not experts -therese

[@HailToTheMeep]

Different takes and interpretations of the same information can’t always be construed as “misinformation”. It is a very presumptuous position to take based on a false belief that if you disagree with someone the other person must be wrong, and that there is only one way of looking at things. This strange attitude permeates kpop fandoms and kpop conversations. Differences are supposed to be opportunities for bigger discussions to enrich all. In kpop it becomes a battle of right and wrong as if we live in fairy land. It is frustrating.

[@ruchimaurya6629]

@HailToTheMeep I don't get it. Why are you suddenly attacking? when my intention was just to tell them the correct information as I'm also aware that they might not know everything. That's it, and it has nothing to do with you. damn why r you so defensive upon a comment. Please calm down. every comment is not written with a malicious intention. Try reading between the lines next time before attaching someone.

[@HailToTheMeep]

@@ruchimaurya6629 "Misinformation" is a very strong word. It implies a level of malicious intention within the context of online conversations in the 2020s. You also use the word "correct information" that you will try to provide next time. As you can see, they sourced their information from Beyond The Story, that's the BTS book filled with members direct quotes. I don't mean to attack. But I am being honest and direct because this is the internet, and you are a stranger to me. So I only have the words you typed here to go by. I don't know if English is your first language or not. It is my second language but I grew up with it and it is my main language of communication right now. Perhaps this might be an input for you. But whether you want to take it or not, that is up to you. If I can get this impression, many others would too.

[@ruchimaurya6629]

@HailToTheMeep I still don't get it. Why are you stretching this matter and trying to justify your point. I have already read beyond the story, and im an army for 10 years now, and with "misinformation," I meant that some information which they said were incorrect that's all and I believe they might have gone through other sources as well.As the book doesn't contain all the information regarding bts for all the stuff you have to refer to interviews, lives etc. I don't want to drag this stupid conversation because I don't rely upon the translations or any other English sources for any information as I'm fluent in Korean. And I'm speaking about the incorrect information as I have consumed bts's content gradually for the past 10 years, not in a one go to mix and match information. and I wrote this comment in order to tell them that can help them with more correct information and not for you to drag me like this. This whole use of a word misinformation this, and that seems so stupid to me because this is just a comment section, not a court of law where we have to interpret each and every word. so chill, please. I have already said that I will join their live to provide them with correct information, so I don't see the point for discussion anyways where you have jumped in this conversation to accuse me of trying to hate on them when I really like their content which I have repeatedly written in my 1st post as well. At this point, you are just twisting the narrative and painting me like as a hater, which I don't think there is a need of. Lastly, I hope we can end this conversation here, like mature adults.

No one match RM skills in Rapping, Songwriting and Composing 🔥🔥 the most talented and hardworking artist,he's the main creator of most BTS hits like BlackSwan ,Fake love , Spring Day ,Butter ,Idol..... He has more than 230 songs credits under his name ,, the band was formed around him ,please react more to his solo songs JOKE, Forever rain , Closer ,Nuts , Domodachi, Out of love ,Still life ,Winter Flower,Sexy Nukim and so many more ,each song has a different story and different emotions ❤ also be actually worked on Wild Flower for 6 years and he insisted that youjeen have to sing it( she hasn't done any new song in 10 years )because he wanted someone to Explode the emotions

Wow 🤯 I walked away and came back to this… I love your set up! It’s crazy professional! I’m was overwhelmed for a second but I’m a new scribe now! Map of the Soul album itself is based on the book Jung's Map of the Soul, about the theories Carl Jung created for psychology. There is an order that ARMI recommends listening to if you want to drink be into that rabbit hole. Thank you for showing love to the guys! 🫶 I would like to ask if you guys would react to Hobipalooza aka Lollapalooza 2022 - at least the first half. I live for the reactions because no one really sees it coming 💀💀! Also, the 2019 MAMA’s is another reaction favorite!

[@zulaaislynn]

As youtube viewer, I wish chat wasn't that big because I want to focus on you guys and the video itself.

[@AudioAddictionmedia]

Understandable! We'll keep that in mind before we do our next stream

[@Purplelace777]

@audioaddictionmedia. Ok suga did not have multiple surgeries on his surgery , he use to get shots in his shoulder but it came to the point where one day he could raise his arm and he made the decision it’s time he get the surgery. He use to be a delivery person and one day his bike got hit by the car and that’s what caused the whole shoulder to get damaged. I am so glad that he is doing 100%better now .

[@NinaMarie7]

Lost really makes way more sense in the context of the whole album (which is a wild ride) and in context of knowing rm more. It isnt my favorite of his but its also perfect in its own way that is hard to explain out of context.

[@yesyesyes2523]

2:51:06 You listened to OT7 version of Paldogangsan/Satoori rap. The lyric video shows the members wrong. Jimin and V are easily distinguishable, had harder time with Jin and JK..thought I was crazy when their pics weren't showing when they were singing..but yeah..re-checked it, it's OT7 version😆💜 Loved the reaction tho, you seem like a good company, looking forward to the next one

[@AudioAddictionmedia]

yes you're right! I should have mentioned that all the members were in palsogangsan but since we were covering the rap line I thought it might be helpful to just see the rappers on screen. diving into the vocal line today I'm so excited 🙏🏽-Therese

[@eileencritchley4630]

J Hope came to BTS via his roots in Hip Hop via street dancing in fact he was the youngest member of the Street Crew Neuron. He listened to RM, Suga and their friends Battle Rapping and wanted to join in so he had a chat with Suga who gave him some pointers helped him out and he eventually starting joining in. That's how he learnt to write his own Raps and Rap.

[@rainhobi-rs2vt]

are you writing fanfic?? when did hoseok ever say he got pointers from suga??

[@eileencritchley4630]

@@Jjhisnwhshe He said himself he asked Suga for some advice. You didn't understand my comment that's ok no worries. Got a few pointers means someone giving you advice pointing you in the right direction.

[@Jjhisnwhshe]

@@eileencritchley4630 I dont recall him saying that ever, if you could give exact reference that would be nice :) as far as I remember he has been listening to hip-hop since he was a id because he danced to hip hop since he was in elementary school and when he joined bts trainees he already knew he was going to be in a all rap group and watched the other rappers do cyphers and naturally joined along, he said this in Burn The Stage.

[@eileencritchley4630]

@@Jjhisnwhshe Yes he's been dancing hip hop since he was a child. He was the youngest member of the Street Dance Crew 'Nureon' but he wasn't a Rapper and got in to BigHit as a Dancer. Yes and he did and he asked for some advice/pointers from Suga. He joined in quite quickly but not straight away as he'd not done it before.

You forgot to mention that Yoongi during his last tour stop last year finally went through the door. It was a powerful moment at the end of his tour.

[@AlAl-ek5jh]

Alex was right, RM-Lost n RPWP album was made with a group of producers together, like a song camp. They wanted to showcase RM's contradictory personality with this album. And RM said he received many songs for this album n co-written some. He realised how fun it is to make songs together with other people instead of doing everything all by himself.

[@Ymccabe]

The plan was to build the group around RM. She has Beyond The Story so she will explain more as they go on and if they get to the OT7 videos and there are stuff missing Armys can fill in. If there's video rec about the struggles BTS faced, I will recommend Mistreatment of BTS by Affectaed and Xceleste Hardships video.

[@eileencritchley4630]

Just wait til you hear RM 'Joke' and 'Do You' and the new songs from his new Album Right 'Place, Wrong Person' 2 songs being 'Groin' and 'Nuts'.

In Daechwita, both the king and the peasant have a scar. The scar on old Agust D is fresh, because his anger and pain was fresh. The new Agust D is partially healed, but not all the way yet. It's only in Haegum that anti-establishment Agust D is without a scar.

[@jayd5497]

Hey guys, I really enjoyed this video! 3hrs??? The time surprisingly flew 😅 I have two recommendations re: RM, and just for your viewing and listening pleasure! Like, just to enhance your listening experience, no pressure on filming a reaction: 1. Listen to his album Right Place, Wrong Person from Track1 to Track11, in order. "LOST!" on its own can be very confusing when watched and listened to on its own. BUT, TRUST ME!! Listening to it with the entire album makes it make so much sense!! 2. Joon's mini-concert! "RM Live In Seoul" is such a treat, he performs the songs from his album Indigo, and many of the featuring artists performed with him too.

[@DdaengOT7]

YouthfulEagle: took “Nanjooning to a whole new level. Ha! Best and truest comment in the chat 💀 RM’s Indigo Album overview is a great watch! I always love how he goes over his music and thought process of every song! BTW - in regards to BTS and the whole “pave the way” bit: didn’t BTS create both Weverse and Vlive social platforms? Hybe sold off Vlive but it’s still one of the biggest platforms for Kpop and many many global artists. …same with Weverse.

[@AudioAddictionmedia]

hahaha yes, I love RM's work. but actually even though Vlive was bought by Hybe, it was originally created by Naver. I'm always curious if that was in response to Twitch or other live streaming platforms that might not have been available in Korea? I'm not sure but I really miss Vlive 🥲 -therese

[@hankakah4180]

These 3 rappers of BTS made me like hip-hop and rap. I hated those genres. I couldn't understand how simplistic rhyming like time, crime chime, mime, etc.. It sounded like children in elementary school poetry assignments. That was when I first heard them I hated original American rappers rhyming to a already established and popular beat, they couldn't sing and just spoke words, they couldn't play an instrument, they were talentless. It wasn't until BTS and how they incorporate the 3 rappers into each song. You expect it. Now BTS song seems incomplete without the rappers. I still won't buy rappers or hip-hop artists, I WILL listen to these 3, though. BTS are 7 talented individuals who are solo artists on their own, but when you put them all together, you get the supergroup BTS! It's like watching the origin movies of the Marvel Universe super heroes, and when they get together, it's like Avengers Assemble! Not EVERYONE will like EVERY BTS song, but there IS a BTS song for EVERYONE!

I believe he attended her concerts. =0} Love that ur doing this deep dive. Will for sure join u on YT. =0] Therese Suga never had surgeries on his shoulder! 0.0 He got shots and bandages. He only got the surgery in 2020 at last. Not sure were ur getting ur info from. U might be forgetting stuff. Suga was advised to get surgery but he always put it off. He re-injured his shoulder doing choreo and yeah he was in a lot of pain for years. I have so much notes for each song but i know YT will not let me post them here. They are long. So i will just share some info about Amygdala. Borahae. -NY USA 2019 Army💟
