"BTS HARDSHIPS 2013-2021" Reaction - Racism, mistreatment, accusations, & More 😢 | Couples React

[@J-to-thA-Lee]

21:55 This is Dr. Lee Ji Young - she's an expert and an ARMY so she had this whole video/show where she talked about BTS success. It's really worth the watch because she tackled a lot of issues that BTS has gone thru and how they pushed thru fighting the stereotypes in their culture. 💜 EDIT: Here is the link to that video 😊 BTS Explained by Dr. Lee Ji Young kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5LNYotta81lo7M

Bangtans went through a lot of hardships and it was difficult for each of them. They show that no matter what bottom you are, no matter how they spread rot on you, you can achieve your goal with perseverance and zeal. They trusted each other and went to their goal. You can't stop! BTS is a family that has become a legend. And we are the Army who admire them.

[@Julku13]

And now they can add 10000 new things with Jimin's solo debut alone. On the day of release Hanteo charts deleted 770k sales, froze their graph and then completely hid their website while removing evidence. Right when Like Crazy got #1 on Global Spotify, they suddenly split the song (og and eng version) into seperate counters, even though they had been the same since release and that's the standard for other artist with multible versions of the same song. KZbin has been deleting millions of views of his MVs even after weeks. His main single Like Crazy started glitching on the UK iTunes on the day he was about to break the record of the longest charting #1 on the worldwide album chart. Now he's tied with bts' mots7. Yet still has the record as a soloist (by alot). And now Billboard deleted 100k sales right after he got the Hot100 #1, even though he was predicted by everyone to safely stay in top 10. Meanwhile he's been under a massive hate campaign online. And his Instagram profile has been shadow banned, so he couldn't get any new followers. Notifications still doesn't work. And people still ask who his opps are...

[@fleurettelarose9255]

Frrrr

[@grace_mar]

About the 770k sales getting deleted by Hanteo Charts, some armys did the math and figured out that Hanteo did made a mistake while updating their website, if you do the math of the total sales up to 2 hours before the tracking day ends, you'll notice that 770k sales reflects the total number of sales the album made, but Hanteo mad the mistake of putting that number as the hourly updated sales when instead they should have put that as the total sales. So, Hanteo did mess up their count there, but they did not delete 770k sales. Hope that explains that situation :(

Oh , hey , I become an ARMY in 2014 too . I heard some kpoppers talking really bad things about the boys ' they are so ugly to be idols ' , ' They wear cheap clothes ' , ' They are loud ' things like that. When I heard those, I felt so bad even if I didn't know BTS at that time. I got home , I searched for BTS and I watched them . Boy in luv , No more dreams and after that I watched their v-logs and BTS bombs . They were so awkward, chaotic, loud and just having fun you know. Most importantly, they're genuine . That's how I became ARMY . Their visuals are the last thing I would mention if someone asked me how I became a fan . Aoaf course , they're good looking people since back then and now . It would sound a little cringed but it was never about superficial things . I've been with them since . It's so worth it .

Back in 2019 at MAMA Awards I still hear Seokjin's savage words, in his signature graceful style, still remain superior for me. He did not mince his words when he called out a certain section of artists for manipulating charts to their gain. I remember him saying, "Wouldn't it be better to make music in more honest ways" 💜

[@amiii5292]

18:12 I wished xceleste explained some of the things like the no signal sign, the story with Japan and the enlistment more detailed. The problem with that stories is that they were HUGE and led to a MASSIVE amount of hate towards BTS that you can‘t even imagine. BTS didn‘t attend the Gaon Charts after the no signal event because attacks and hate campaigns over the no signal sign were THAT bad. The Japan and the enlistment things are political and go beyond music. In regards to the Japan story people even sided with Nazis over kpop. People are willing to go so low just to harm BTS. Usually fanwars are online, but BTS had literally go to court because of claims and the Blue House of Korea or political parties were involved. So this goes way beyond BTS‘ online presence and are personal harmful attacks against the boys and the group directly. All of this started just because other fandoms are scared of their success…

[@Cinta_88]

Unfortunately we are not in a sunshine and rainbows era at the moment. Without going into it, ALL the guys, especially Jimin with his latest release (and I’m sure Suga/AgustD will as well when his new album comes out), have taken BTS to so many new heights and breaking records left and right. So proud of how much they have achieved despite the odds being heavily stacked against them!

[@marinal.]

yep

[@pixiiie]

The fact that it's still going on. Just last week Jimin was purposefully kicked out from top10 of bbh100 after topping the chart previous week on groundless basis... At first everyone thought it's due to sudden rule changes in bbh100 sales which filtered 60% of the total sales, but as it turned out, the "new rule" was only applied to Like Crazy and all other songs' stats in the charts remained the same for the next week.. Billboard is yet to give the explanation cuz US Armys actually paid and bought the music and this whole thing means their efforts went down the drain

[@KhalidMehmood-kv6mk]

Honestly this whole thing is messed up and worse is they are not even clarifying it means there really is smth suspicious about it..

I remember the Vlive Jin did before he went to Military. He said he got lots of hate because he didn't enlisted. And he said he was already planning to go but Agency didn't let him to announce that to media. So he had to get bullied and insulted few more months. He said it was hurtful and upsetting to see the hate comments. I felt really bad for him This happened just recently, so all I know is they will get hate and criticism in the future too...

[@partypartyyeah13]

In the last week alone, we’ve had an influx of anti comments about their hopes for the members to get SA’d in the military, wishes for members to self-h@rm, and we’ve had to watch as Billboard changed their tracking rules ONCE AGAIN to bring BTS down on their charts (this time they’ve actively messed with Jimin’s “Like Crazy” to knock him from his #1 spot on Hot100). Antis LOVED to celebrate that one. The levels of sabotage and pure spite that people aim at BTS is disgusting. It is exhausting being ARMY sometimes but we’re not going anywhere. We have their backs always, just as they have had ours. 💜 (Side note: please don’t fight antis by being disrespectful and cruel towards other groups. I hate seeing ARMY sink to their level, and I’ve seen that a lot lately on Twitter. Take the high road, as BTS always does. BTS karma will always come for the antis)

[@RITstar06]

And when we fight back we’re the bad guys. Everyone calls us the most toxic fandom but they don’t realise how much we hold back we’ve always been loving to others until and unless they disrespect BTS. BTS helped us a lot and they are like a family to us, so if someone says something bad about them we’re not gonna keep quiet. Anyways thank you so much for understanding us and supporting our boys. We love you 💜 Borahae 💜

[@se7nn1120]

I've been an army since pre debut and back then everything was like, tooth to the nail, balls to the wall type grind for both the boys and the fandom. It was an ugly time to be an army. Almost everyone was against us.. fandoms, media, etc. Naturally, our "over protectiveness" were labelled "toxic" by some. And I'm not saying that we're a fandom of saints.. but it does get bloody when fan wars starts. And for BTS is constant. 24/7. It ridiculous. Over time you kind of get used to it, but not really, because they say dumb shit. You'll be surprised but how little the media talk about BTS in South Korea. But you know.. Karma is an ARMY and she came and is coming for those who hurt BTS and ARMY. In a recent video, Suga discusses about all the hate they received back in their rookie days. How they didn't understand where it was all coming from. But he said he forgave them. He didn't drop any fandom name, but guess what? The fandom in question began crying online. 😂 The number 1 question.. "How does BTS has a strong fanbase?" If you look beyond the makeup, flashy clothes, looks, "just Kpop", etc.. you'll see what ARMY has been seeing this whole time. Funny, talented, hard working, humble, respectful, boys who beat all odds. By the way that band Forever In Your Mind who said "There needs to be a European or an American boy band at the top", they've been inactive a little over after that radio interview. (Debuted in 2016 and been MIA since 2018)

[@anneeh1591]

I am a 65 yr old fan of BTS. I am constantly amazed at the comments i get for being a fan by people who know nothing sbout the Boys or their achievements. In fact 3 generations of my family love them. I see no difference to listening to songs in Korean than to listening to songs in Italian, Spanish, French or German that might be performed by another group I like (Il Divo). They are all admirable young men and deserving of respect. I have been following your BTS journey from the start and it has been a pleasure to see you all fall down the rabbithole along with the rest of us. Borahae 💜💜💜💜

This is what makes army so proud of the boys. They went through all that hardships but it's what drives them to do better and work hard to prove to everyone that hard work is indeed a talent. I will never get tired saying that these boys deserves what they have right now and more, and that i'm proud that i am their fan 💜

[@dipsiumai]

As always, I very much agree with Summer. I've been an army since 2017 and at that time, I was bullied for liking BTS. Years has past and it's still SO exhausting to always be defending and trying to change people's minds so they can give BTS a chance. Now I'm just trying to make haters at least respect them, but I've reached the point where I don't care about their opinions anymore. I will continue to support them for the rest of my days because their music and achievements are enough to prove what an amazing artist they are.

[@heesuh9505]

There are a lot more incidents from different parts of the world that weren't mentioned in this video. For one example, the Billboard changed their Hot 100 rules just after Jimin charted #1 again. They've done it at least 3 times (that I know of) each time after BTS charted #1 so it will be harder for BTS to be on the top. They make bigger weight on radio plays and smaller portion on streaming. As everybody knows they will not play BTS songs on radio and BTS won't pay payola to them like western singers do. When BTS made an English song, Dynamite, the BigHit did some promotion activities in the US, then radio stations played very minimum spins. The Billboard's been changed rules on limiting # of streaming, buying albums, viewing #s..... on counting toward the charts. They have not changed the charting rule for years before BTS came to the scene. It's almost a miracle that Jimin got #1 on Hot 100.

Thank you so much for watching this - it is really an important step in the whole BTS journey. Yes, as “original” ARMY, it is hard for me to see these moments again having lived through them at the time, but as time goes on now I feel more proud than sad - proud that these 7 boys stuck to their guns, grew stronger and dare I say, more powerful, because of these bad times.

[@hershiexoxo8159]

i really recommend reading the white paper project because it's just so insightful and full of facts! you can also understand the various viewpoints and how bts were treated in japan and in the west during that time. i remember this anecdote of how japan armys were threatened in their universities by other people because they were armys during that time. their lives were in danger and the whole of the fandom were living in fear both digitally and irl as there was high risk of being tracked or stuff like that. it was just so scary to even be online and speak for them or even just tweet a harmless post because you would immediately see a dozen accounts accusing them of being fans of bts and threaten them.

[@desyoge8248]

If you guys felt really sad about that, I really hope y'all don't be on Twitter. It is BRUTAL over there right now. Yesterday especially was terrible. And Jimin, our sweet Jimin. We always have to be fighting for him but these past few weeks have been a real battle. BTS are the sweetest people ever and to hate them so unprovoked, I just don't understand. People really be losing morals over 7 guys winning and being popular. It's like they're trying to break the boys down to the point where they either disband or do something terrible to themselves. Because they are really cyberbullying at this point.

I've actually been thinking that "Why Jimin?" He's so sweet and nice, I feel so sad for him. This solo debut was supposed to be so good, a wonderful and enjoyable time for him. Sigh.

Right now army are helping each other by sending emails to hybe and hope that they do something to protect him, jimin is too kind. He didn't deserve this much hate😢 Even on twt they attack him with 40k quote tweets under a video of jimin sing set me free.

Honestly similar thing have been happening more and more since Jimin started to release his album and this week it just got worst and more exhausting with the billboard and yesterday there was a mass hater towards the members which was literally so disgusting like being an army is tiring and not an easy thing. We always have to prove ourselves over and over again.

[@anneminiejagi]

It never hurts any less no matter how much i watch this hardship video. BTS really went through A LOT. In my 6 years as an ARMY, the hatred towards them has gotten worse and we can see that happening recently. Jimin has been targeted during his solo debut with antis organising a huge smear campaign and a hate train on him on twitter. There's also multiple attempts of sabotage on jimin such as billboard pushing him down the hot 100 chart on the second week by removing 100k sales from like crazy, making him having the biggest fall for a #1 debut in history. Just yesterday, antis teamed up to attack BTS and made vile jokes that's so disgusting and triggering. All of these are so hard to watch. I'm praying every day that BTS will be protected by everything evil and from people with ill intentions towards them.

[@MinSugaCheonjae]

I became a fan of BTS in 2019, so I have not lived through their "darkest" era i.e. 2014 to 2017, when they were being groundlessly accused of plagiarism and chart manipulation, when fans of other kpop artists were trying to actively sabotage their music releases, when these antis systematically trended hateful tweets about them, when their every achievement was being questioned, when they were looked down upon by bigger kpop artists because of their "lower" status. ARMYs who have lived through this era have talked about how emotionally draining it was for them at that time to constantly defend BTS against haters. I can only imagine how hard it must have been because it is extremely hard for me even today. Everyday I see people being racist towards then, trying to diminish their achievements, trying to "sabotage" them. The hate might not be as intense as it used to be, but I still see it everyday. Sometimes I have to desensitize myself just so I can enjoy being a fan of BTS. I'll be the first to admit that our fandom has its own set of problems, but that doesn't justify the hate that BTS gets on a daily basis. If not for their bond and trust in each other, BTS might have disbanded a long time back.

I have been ARMY since 2013 and to have seen all this happen at the time was really hard, even though i'm a big fan of other groups, there were situations where I felt very sorry for them because it was unfair the way they were treated. They never received anything easy. The media didn't really support them as they should have, everything they did was cause for judgment and they were treated badly inside and outside the country. I'm really proud of them and happy to be able to see where they got to even with all this going on. Sorry for my english and thank you for supporting them. I hope in the future y'all will have a chance to go to one of their concerts, it is amazing. 💜

[@mariabaillet]

about the white paper project i feel like it was a little down played in this video, you hear armys from back then talk about it and you can hear in their voice and in their words how traumatic it was for both Armys and BTS. Armys were getting a lot of anxiety attacks and BTS were very very depressed since people from the west got involved it became this massive thing so Armys came together to write the White Paper Project. till today if you see an army talk abt it they will tell you how 2017-2018 were the worst and hardest years for BTS and Army. I think a lot of us, me included, stayed because we knew how unfair the world was and we wanted this magnificent South Korean to succeed globally, unfortunately till this day things are hard and its very stressful. this las week has been just the worst, the unfairness from billboard towards BTS has never been a secret but now it has crossed the line and what they're doing is highly unethical. of course we are being loud about this injustice but for us is pretty normal that people wont side with us and they will throw sht just because its about BTS and Army. for example for years Army has complained about ticketmaster, and we've been loud, but it wasnt until Taylor Swift fans complained that people started to pay attention and it was even taken to court, it took for it to be about a white woman so people would start paying attention. theres this saying in the fandom that is "BTS only has Army and Army only had BTS" "its just BTS and us" its disappointing and hurtful because it makes you see how corrupt this industry is.

[@feruzekasaj2100]

Watching this after a very difficult day yesterday on Twitter. And their hate campaigns once again....... Makes my heart so heavy. They do not deserve this kind of hate,wen all they have given is love and positivity

[@arushit6262]

Like RM said ‘Haters gonna hate, players gonna play!’ No matter how much hate they get they will always overcome them and shine more and more!🫶🏻 Thanks for reacting to this!

[@miniemimi0122]

okay... this is my first time commenting because i can't contain what im feeling right now. after seeing all the hardships they went through, until now they are still being sabotaged by big companies or platforms that you wouldn't think would do that to them, a group who just want to write music and perform for their fans. Especially now that each members of the group has been releasing their own solo songs, they are receiving sabotages and getting ridiculed either by locals, antis or fans of an another idol. ARMYs has been struggling a lot since then especially those ARMYs who are active on twitter where fanwars happen almost every day. I just don't understand, how rotten can a person's soul be, for them to t@lksht and continue to live life as if they didn't trampled on someone? "Don't give them attention." "Leave them be." "Ignore them, just report the account." It's tiring to be told like that. I know ARMY fanbases are tired too and just don't wanna engage in arguments anymore. It's just frustrating how you can't do anything but watch (or wait for the company/label to take action) while the members continued to get slandered and belittled by people who aren't interested in getting to know them and ignore how much the group or each member suffers from all the hate😭 Im sorry for writing a long-a$$ essay. I just can't contain what i feel anymore ever since the start of Jimin's solo promotion and then Suga's dropping of album next week😭 anyway, i've been a subscriber for a long-time now. your videos became a part of my morning routine. i always love your reactions and i appreciate that you appreciate Bangtan so much. Borahae😊💜

[@aqsa2133]

Again two days ago billboard has been changed its rules bcoz Jimin "like crazy" was a first solo song which make it's position possible to 1st at Billboard 200 Hits But when the time comes to announce the weekly winner it's rules changed I can't believe it's happening 😭 We need justice ⚖️ It's really beyond.....................

[@martasw26]

They didn't change any rules. They just didn't count Jimins sales. And only his sales. They hate that we winning. They did that on purpose. They are just xenophobic haters.

[@aqsa2133]

@@martasw26 I'm so hurt about that😭😭😭🥺💜 What should we do unni I already making alot of tweets about that But I don't know what's going 💜🥺💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@0becalp325]

Since day 1,it's been tiring because everyone would hate on the boys for anything and everything. Since they didn't mention in the video i won't either,but i was fan of both groups about the uniform thing and like if one groups wear school uniforms,no one else can ? That's ridiculous. Even until last year/this year there was a spanish host (who is already hated because he's misogynist,etc) said something about Hobi. Anyway,been here for almost 10 years and I'm still gonna be there for the boys 💜

[@Ann_T75]

I was one of the fans that called ft worth PD when I saw this threat against Jimin. It scared the life out of me being a new army at the time.

[@dee-qj2ki]

and this discrimination and jealousy against bts never stopped. just this week billboard deleted 100k sales from like crazy because he topped the hot100 last week

[@ideagirl]

They still face hardships doing their solo work. Recently Jimin hit #1 for "Like Crazy" on Billboard. The latest buzz is that Billboard has changed the rules. And it affects Jimin's number 1 rating. I honestly dont know the details as I've learned to ignore all the controversies haters bring up. Or stupid changes music award shows make when BTS is rated #1. Army knows the Truth!

[@stbthisismirrorimage]

they were suffered alot . thats why they are the number one boy band in the world . harder work is never wasted.

[@azi-sv9ux]

Literally just yesterday antis are attacking tannies making jokes about r@pe and su/side and ARMYS collecting all the hate receipt to report to bighit. This hate campaign towards BTS is not gonna stop and I'm proud that Armys are doing all their best to protect tannies at all cost. ARMYS quote: "We're in this Bangtan sht for life" 🤜💜

[@mleeeee]

thank you for feeding us with so many videos wow 😭 a video everyday for the past 3 days?!?

[@Kay61306]

BTS has gone through a lot with the industry and haters. And what’s frustrating is that it’s still the same. The music industry constantly sabotaging bts music releases and antis still jumping bts for any little thing. But either way bts pushes through and army will always be behind supporting them ‼️

[@zimzim8232]

It's crazy the amount of hate they get, it's constant and never ending. ARMY works so hard to protect them, it's exhausting. It's been pretty bad these past few weeks, Twitter is just full of people with hate. To everyone reading I know that it's really hard to read the vile things they post, please don't engage just report and block. The haters just drain your energy and make you angry. I love you all!! ARMY and BTS forever!!!

[@inmarsmind]

What’s sad about it is that it is still going on. All the xenophobic things the general public tends to say about them and sometimes even the industry doesn’t even hide their hate towards them. Just this week, a lot of bad things were said about the members. That is why ARMY is so protective of BTS, and some people tend to see us as rude and just way too dedicated, but the truth is that they only have their fans in this industry, most people don’t root for them so we put an extra amount of care to defend them and protect their image.

[@Haurasya]

Bts-make it right Bts-heartbeat 😢😢🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@dardarmissesv]

Thats not even half of BTS and Army struggle against haters. But thank you for your comments and for your love and appreciation with the members

[@SuperCupcake2010]

Oh this one...the fact that I have seen this video so many times and every time I feel differently. The more you learn about them and you see the bigger context of the situations the more you realize some of these moments were worse than depicted and some were a lot more tame and more teaching tools in life than anything else. Would I want to go through any of these? Hell No! But I truly believe that you are given in life what you can handle and what you need to go through to be the person you are today. All of Bangtan are great humans first and foremost and I am thankful for that and obviously I wish it was easier for them but I think I will just say that I am glad they made it out on the other end better people. I teared up at some points this time because recently I have just been thinking about their families, their parents and loved ones during these times. Like the guys really went through it, more than what has been shown here and they kind of signed up knowing at least there was going to be hard times but how do you prepare a parent when they have to watch certain things that you wouldnt wish on anyone happen to their child that they sent away so that they could follow their dreams. My heart goes out to them because as a fan who loves them I feel for them but to be in the inner circle watching it unfold infront of your eyes and having no way to protect your little ones, that had to have been the worst.

[@yasmine7305]

I’ve been a fan for 9 years, and honestly it was hard to be a fan at the beginning. I would be in the internet for hours trying hard to dampen hate and racist comments; I was in high school and had time lool. But it was a frustrating time, gradually with each year the fandom would grow - and I was able to take the backseat….the hate will never stop, but our love and respect for them won’t either

[@mandeefarley1399]

BTS has been around longer than, like, 98% of K-pop bands. They show the haters through their hard work and love for ARMY how amazing they are. BTS doesn’t need to respond to the haters because they know actions speak louder than words.

[@Jiah0613]

This all goes now even now For example Hanteo Album charts of korea DELETED 770k sales from jimin's new album Face when his numbers were higher than 1.6M and brought it to 990k also freezing the charts for the first time for 5 hours for which ARMYs raised questions and in response Hanteo only added the sales which were enough ti get hum over 1M but no answer was given to those 770k sales 2- Jimin topped the billboard hot 100 because of High sales coz they dont get radioplay in the US and as the second week of Tracking continued the last day of Tracking billboard says they will apply 1 email 1 sale for lifetime filtering over 90% of his sales making him drop to 46 when he was predicted to be on #8. Amd today we found out that this rule was only applied to jimin and no other Just so that the billboard can take away their lovely Taylor Swift's record of biggest dropping from #1. To this the antis (especially blinks and Exols) have been making fun of jimin disrespecting him when their own artists (JISOO & KAI) solo released just now NEVER entered the billboard hot 100

OH NO DARLING, there is no other context. is LITERALLY jealousy. you were absolutely ON POINT.

Thank you for this reaction..I remember 2016.They really had a hard time.Your words were on point.Great reaction

[@joannmosby7651]

BTS members are still going through hardships and corruption regarding BB and radio these days, look what BB just did to Jimin #1 "Like Crazy" BB changing rules on charting, erasing over 100k song sales that dropped the song all the way out of the top 10 completely! BTS songs are barely played on the radio stations because their label won't pay DJs to play their songs even when heavily requested! It's always something undercover they do towards BTS, but Army will always behind them, periodT! #ForeverWithBTS #ArmyWithLuv

[@pranjal926]

I was almost cried to see the hardships they were going through all these years. They all together make themselves no 1 group in the world but now as members working on their solo activities many solo stan supporting their fav member only. they deserve to be treated equal. Armies have changed😢😢😢

[@Carnibee]

It broke my heart when BTS started getting racism all around the world as they got more popular internationally. I became an Army in 2016 and was there for the first BBMAs, voting every day, but when that started I felt hurt and almost guilty, like we didn’t prepare them enough for what would happen. We pushed so hard for their success and then they suffered after getting it. I know we couldn’t have prepared them, but that’s how much we treasure them and didn’t want them hurt anymore. Unfortunately they had no one to turn to who could guide them through it and suffered for a long time alone (with each other, but alone). I’m really glad that they can now be that support for someone else and I’m so proud of them for being strong and surviving.

[@khushishringi1811]

This video is always so hard to watch..like you can't not get mad over stuff that happened..but at the end of the day it proves even more why they deserve everything they have right now and so much more! 💜

[@its_me_lun5060]

After watching this video, it made it so hard for me to look at any other groups or their fans in an innocent way again, because knowing about the past things they did to BTS or how far they went to try to ruin them makes me feel so angry and disappointed of the world. Like how could you make fun of someone’s GRANDMA’s death, just how! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a hater or anything and would never try to talk trash about other groups, but I see myself enjoying their music better than the people or their group. Anyways, I am so proud of our boys for their success and hard work. 💜

"it's exhausting to always have to prove yourself to ppl who don't care" What Summer said did really hit me , cause we've been feeling like this for years, BTS has always to prove themselves to their country and to the world, and we ARMY have always to prove to ppl that the music we love and listen to is good music and BTS are real artist..

[@nalishachetty7287]

They had gone through such tough times but they came out stronger. I am so proud of the people they have become. They trusted each other and had faith in each other. Suga has now even forgiven all those people.

[@haru13434]

And this is why we literally say BTS only has us. BTS only has ARMY. I'm a 2020 ARMY and i literally cried during the Grammys out of hurt and frustration for them. The pop duo/group were not awarded to them for 2 years now and it's obvious that they didnt want them to win and were just using them for views. But whatever the boys want, we'll support them. It hurt us that when they didnt win, they literally said that they'll do better next time. It broke our hearts because we all know they put their blood, sweat, and tears into their works. They were literally disrespected and made fun of and we really tried to shield the hate. We were literally raining tweets to the Academy on how they were racist, users, and xenophobic. I can only imagine the hate and the pain the veteran ARMYs have gone through since 2013. We could only do so much to protect them but we know we can never really shield all the hate from them and it's the sad reality of social media.

[@justapotato3618]

Thank you!!!! Some people think they had it so easy, these 7 very talented individuals went through so much to get where they are now. And i have always been supportive and proud of them since debut. I am 54 yrs old and still proud to call my self ARMY!! Great reaction!💜💜💜

[@lexa4160]

been an army since 2013, and after seeing them go through so much, this vid never fails to make me feel emotional. its insane the hate they still get to this day, i wish people just stopped. im very proud that they have made it until where they are today, i wish actions and peoples insults never get to them :( tysm for reacting, its always nice to know what u guys got to say

I like your rambling, Daniel! I love to hear what you have to say 😊 I can relate really well because I'm also often told that I tend to ramble. But come on, it's BTS! 😄 There's just so much to talk about, I don't want to stop!

[@eribbh2336]

There is a point that is really serious in that whole Kpop world that should be taken seriously: Hate and Toxicity The dark side of kpop i "hate" the most...using your phone or whatever for cyberbullying, making fun of the idols (especially mental) health condition, their appearance, mocking them for loosing someone precious, their everything they get har**sed they literally get hate for just breathing (I'm not exagerating),..this is so cruel..oh don't let me get started with "fans" who think they own their idols.. and I still don't understand why people are so heartless and toxic...there were literally idols who passed away not long ago and that wasn't enough to stop all the bullshit...so like I'm done with all that shit cuz it hurts seeing so called "human beings" with human values hurting others. That's actually sad...VERY SAD

what gets me every time is how they faced all this prejudice and hatred with spreading all concepts of love and accepting others, they are the best 💜💜💜

i'm so glad you reacted to this video, some of this things are so toxic that is crazy how strong are this guys. They were minors when some of the masive hate happen. As a young man a seriously don't have any idea how they overcame it. It's very impressive but sad at the same time
