Had to come back. I can’t tell you how many times, in the span of four years, I have watched this with many reactors to BTS, and I still get excited. Why? Because we want you to enjoy the music, singing, dancing and the production as much as we do. I realized something, I still watch the performance and glance at the reactors once in awhile, listen to the comments, but I am still focused on BTS. I adore them so much, from a woman’s perspective and yes, 2019 & 2020 gets better. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

he received a cultural award from the fan dance association for promoting fan dance through his performance , he wasn't in competition with anyone for it - he received a honor award. some of you need to stop making everything and anything a competition and re-evaluate yourself as a fan and as a person, because this mindset definitely leaks to your irl.

The MMA ‘s are held at the Gocheok Sky Dome Stadium in South Korea!! And as you can tell from 2016 til 2018 the more popular they get the bigger their stage gets!! Wait til you 2019 Amazing!!! Also I recommend if you get the chance in your own watch the full awards ceremony on 2018! Jin actually mentioned the band considering to disband that year!! It’s heartbreaking!!

that was actually at MAMA not MMA but yes its very heartbreaking that they were going through so much without us knowing

[@iamscoliosisgirl]

I was just starting to be a fan back then (end of 2018) and I did not yet understand the gravity of Jin’s speech at MAMA. i was confused why because for me at the time they are super popular and untouchable. I didn’t know yet all the hardships they have endured and overcame around that time. And now I know and that’s why I will forever be with BTS

[@melgaye0]

What I appreciate is them embracing and sharing their culture with such pride. I love to see it. Expressing ones culture is amazing. I would be such a proud Korean!!😁 I'm African American and it just motvates me to share the wonderful aspects of my culture. Great reaction, Fellas!

[@minswifeushawarmy8444]

Every BTS comeback they became more powerful and energetic, although there songs still have a good lyrics and meanings. ✨💜

[@andsprite7071]

The fact that you thought they would perform Daechwita hahaha. First of all, it's not a promotional song, it's from a mixtape, so it wouldn't make sense to do it in an award show. And the song was released in 2020 hehe :) The performance people keep talking about with all the members doing daechwita was for an online mini concert, and they did that for fun to surprise their fans. Kinda like the Ddaeng performance you saw where the vocal line participated with the rapline. They love to do those types of things to make ARMY laugh or surprise them a bit.

[@nnk875]

This music is like a remix of traditional Daechwita music that was played to announce the monarchs arrival though right? Watching this again, I am getting that after the MV they play Daechwita music to symbolise they are the "Kings" of the music industry arriving or something like that?

[@imajinallthepurple]

I loved your reaction to Jimin's fan dance - he actually won a cultural award for it so you're not the only ones impressed. 💜

[@babyc3482]

Jimin doing the fan dance is the most beautiful thing ever and on top of that you add that it's normally a dance done by women and he does it so elegantly and then he gets an award from the cultural arts of Korea for this fan dance I mean it's just all around beautiful.

[@zoe_mouchtouri8774]

Don't get me wrong the two previous performances where amazing!! But this performance is 😱😱😱 just a Masterpiece!! And they keep stepping it up , i can't waitttt to see the next one!!!

[@carolhubbard7181]

There is a Daechwita performance from the 8th Muster concert this past summer, which is super fun. It's not an award performance but totally worth viewing. When I started my BTS journey last year, I was shocked at how elaborate Asian music award shows are, much better than award shows in the West. No comparison.

[@jinphany.]

It’s the 6th muster 💜

[@Nilaratna]

Yes, just keep in mind that it's more of a parody than a serious performance, hee hee.

Everybody saying they can't wait for 2019 and I understand cox honestly that performance was iconic. They took all the biggest awards home that day. But personally I can't wait for 2020 MMA coz its also really good and not hyped up enough. Looking forward to your reaction to it💜💜💜

[@zyra7519]

Korean award shows put the american ones into shame 🤣🤣 camera work, sound, performances... Are superior *To understand idol and you should watch the explanation video by dkdktv *Jimin won an award for his fan dance from A Cultural Conservation Society for his contribution in raising the status and value of the Korean fan dance globally.

[@lisacsarmiento5627]

The intro to Idol, regarded as the best special stage of 2018, was a very beautiful cultural performance showcasing South Korea’s traditional dances:JHope's Korean three drum dance, Jimin's fan dance (traditionally performed by an all women troupe) and Jungkook's mask dance. A lion dance was also performed with an accompaniment of korean traditional percussion music, all of which have been designated as elements of South Korea's intangible cultural property. Jimin received an award from the Kim Baek Bong Korean Fan Dance conservation society for having been able to highlight his delicate & powerful moves as a trained contemporary dancer and I've only mentioned the Idol performance.. 😁. I look forward to your reaction to the MMA 2019, jaw dropping would be an understatement to describe how awesome their live stage performances are.

[@amandahernandez8963]

I think you’d really appreciate the meaning behind Idol. The KZbin video explanation of this song by a Korean is what got me into them. The song is all about telling the haters they didn’t become too westernized like they were critiqued after gaining popularity abroad. They lyrics are so clever.

[@imajinallthepurple]

DKDKTV's explanation is so good for the cultural aspect while XCeleste deals with all the BTS related details. If you haven't seen her's as well I recommend you do. 💜😄👍💜

[@el-dawn]

oh god this performance was a cultural reset. in 2018 bts musicality and them as an artist were "questioned" and told "being too westernized". Then they dropped this. I'm sure it was already planned ahead, but the timing was so damn perfect. Especially this performance where they blend traditional and modern culture into a masterpiece of a performance. I still remember how amazed and stunned everyone was (including the other idol who watched them) during the idol performance.

[@bhagyashreeduttabora9557]

The Idol production was so entertaining plus the special dance break of 3 J's (J-hope, Jimin & JK) and I love the Korean twist incorporated in the production.

[@libertyvalley3119]

This magnificent choreography, with BTS actually singing and dancing live, from intriguing Fake Love to Idol with Jimin commanding oriental fans…just incredible. I guess now you noticed that in Idol, the pompons you had mentioned earlier in the original music video, are actually representing 🐉 dragons as you saw on the stage :) Yes, they respect a lot about their original culture, which is often seen in their live performance as well as in their TV program. This also has attracted people outside of their culture, since for those people it’s very new and interesting.

[@jmlove2060]

와!!!! 미쳤다!!!? 이걸 가져오셨네!!!! 🫢🫢😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💜💜💜

[@a.k.a.b-hope1088]

The dedications BTS and Big Hit puts into their productions and performances for their fans are always astounding! BTS is generally used to performing in such a large stage and production scale that it was quite a challenge for them to perform in the small tight space with limitations on their performances on the American award or talk shows. The best one I've seen so far was the 1st Black Swan performance on the James Corden show. The space was so tight that J-Hope got kicked in the face accidentally during the performance which he amazingly finished without a hitch. I don't think I've ever seen any other artist decorate a talk show stage into a beautiful night lake in an enchanted forest with 7 handsome black swans dancing and singing magically. I was just entranced and so proud into virtual tears. Only BTS and Big Hit would put this much effort, dedication and love for their fans and we ARMY love them for their genuine sincerity to ARMY and their craft as artists.💜

[@lalainesala8579]

The whole "Korean Cultural" theme seems like a clapback to those haters saying BTS were becoming "too westernized" just because they were becoming big globally and made it to the international music scene. But the truth is that BTS were able to make it big by staying true to their roots. Singing most of their songs in their native language, and showcasing Korean arts and culture to the world.

[@joonie3lover761]

I knew DJ would dig Airplane Pt2! It's always a trip when I watch people react to BTS' mixed genre songs, especially songs with latin/island-style flavors. It's like watching another artist right? But it's the same language. Jimin's fan dance has been featured in artworks in Korea, it's so epic!!!

[@zee2348]

I always wish they would release this version of Idol (the one with the traditional Korean instruments/sound). It's just so good! They actually used this version in the trailer (which fooled everyone into thinking the official would sound like it) and have been using it in concerts, but they never released the official audio :3

[@sofiaromero2140]

[@amyb2c4s91]

During their rising success in the west, back in S. Korea, BTS were being criticized, looked down on and being called sell outs wanting so badly to be Westerners. This performance was BigHit’s and BTS’ slap in the face to all those criticizing them. By including in their performance so many cultural symbols and sounds they showed S.Korea and the world how proud they are to be S. Korean artists. In fact, thru this performance they showed the world the beauty of their culture and made millions of people admire and even fall in love with it. I love it when they respond to haters because we get to enjoy their response 😎😎 Loving your reactions… thank you 👍💜💜💜

[@mariaabante6395]

They only performed Fake Love and Idol live. Airplane Part 2 was pre-recorded and played on large screens in between the two performances. This was so the members could change outfits for the last stage. The VCRs (the videos they play in between sets) and pre-recorded performances are common in Korean Awards shows to allow the idols to rest and change. Like you said, it would be difficult for them to perform 3 full songs with choreo. For the MAMA 2017, they performed an elaborate intro, Not Today, DNA, Cypher, and Mic Drop with extended dance breaks and were completely exhausted when they had to return back to their seats right after their performance. They were still breathing hard and sweating when they won the last award of the night and did their acceptance speech. MMA 2018 is my all-time favorite performance because of the intro, the stage, the backup dancers, props, and the modified hanboks (korean formal wear) they wore. There were probably about 70 people on stage at the end. Idol was written as a clap back at haters that were saying that BTS was becoming too westernized. The song purposely used traditional instruments, beats, and outfits in the MV. their MMA 2018 performance of idol was a celebration of Korea. The red and blue flashes of light at the beginning of idol represent the flag. The dance line performing the drum dance, fan dance, and cloth dance for the intro to idol. Dancing dragons, performers playing traditional instruments, and traditional dancers. There are several explained videos out there that explain the song and even this performance. You should check them out.

[@nam-tiddiesofmynam-daddy9064]

Daechitwa was released in 2020 and this performance was in 2018 😂.

[@sades775]

Visually, the 2018 performance is my favorite. They struggled with a lot of audio issues and that sucks, but I think lots of ARMY feel like the MMAs finally gave BTS the stage time they deserve and they used it to really show everyone their professionalism and range

[@LeeDee5]

The complete domination of turning an awards show into a BTS concert lol.

[@hopemeetsevil]

It is undeniable how well organized are the Asian awards in terms of presentations. There is a production at the MV level, we can see how there is a concern with the perfect framing of the camera and its positioning, it's something we don't see in awards presentations in the West.

[@eileencritchley4630]

It's a real stage production, it's theatre, it's amazing, powerful, thought provoking, a piece of performance art.

[@MsKuminz]

I love the performances at this award show! They are so amazing!!! The idol performance was STUNNING!! The creative directors for their performances have to be creative geniuses and the boys work so hard to give it all they got!! The awards they received and the acceptance speeches from them were so touching. One acceptance speech in particular was difficult to hear. It was very emotional as they shared a bit of their struggles. I am so happy they stayed together so they continue to bless our lives.

[@CingDbl]

Famous words uttered by every Army early into their fall into the rabbit hole: “This is my favorite performance “ “and this is just an awards show “😳😂😂I LOVE watching people get addicted to BTS😊

[@morwenk4910]

your question about how do they sing and dance for a whole concert and how they remember it? it’s soooo much practice that the choreographies are muscle memory at this point. If you watch them sing a song without the dance that goes with it, you’ll notice they can’t help themselves but do certain moves from the choreo, even if it’s just the arms, that’s muscle memory, and that’s how much practice goes behind it. BUT to answer the question of not one song, or two but a whole concert, well… it happened before that they ran backstage between songs, sometimes faint, the staff cool them with fans, give them oxygen, dry their sweat, then they get dressed in the next outfit and run back to the stage for the next song as if nothing happened. We didn’t know about it until they revealed it in their movies. No one in the stadium knew that Jungkook was passed out backstage bc he came back and gave his all for the next song like he was fine. Yoongi recently got surgery for his shoulder because he had an accident around their debut, and it was still painful bc he kept it a secret at first. That man danced like that for YEARS before he finally got surgery for his injured shoulder. Jimin used to be hospitalized sometimes because of severe back pain. Namjoon had a deviated septum, meaning he couldn’t breathe/sleep well, and he got surgery for that in 2018 i think? he had been rapping since he was a kid with a deviated septum preventing him from breathing correctly with both nostrils. They got hurt several times, Jungkook cut his heel backstage and got stitched up, he was supposed to do the concerts seating on a chair for a while, but that boy was sometimes standing and tryna dance. Tae injured his knee but danced anyway. It’s NOT easy, and i personally think they push themselves too far sometimes, but what can we do? they live for it, they live for the stage. We can just hope they don’t get hurt 🙏 During that performance of idol on the raising platform, i was soooo scared one of them would fall, that choreo has a lot of spinning and jumping, and the platform raises while they’re jumping and stuff and since this was live, i had no guarantee they wouldn’t fall, it was kinda hard to watch for me hahah. Now i love watching it though 😋

[@lventura360]

BTS are not just singers and dancers, they are PERFORMERS. Since finding them, I've watched several of these award shows, and No other group has performed or captured me the way BTS has. They truly have set the bar high for expectations! They out do themselves each and every year. No two performances will ever be the same; no matter what song they are doing.💜

[@rachael02126]

Can you even imagine if BTS did something of this caliber at an American awards show? The world would never be the same. A petty part of me hopes they do for their next Grammy performance after they were used for promo then pushed aside. America isn’t ready for it

[@silviadavila4461]

On the intro, those little rooms spell a word: PERSONA. As they always do, they hinted the name of the album before we even knew about it. I remember the whole fandom was sure that the little rooms meant something (because we know nothing is a coincidence or meaningless with Big Hit), and we tried to find out if it was a word but it didn't click until they announced the name of the album. Then we all were able to see PERSONA on there hahahahahahahaa!

I love the way BTS incorporate so much of their culture in their music and performances.

[@LaLeLu12209]

I was speechless after 2018, literally, mind-blowing. And then came 2019. I still recuperate. Lol.Over 37 minutes, such an impressive show. And for 2019 they practiced 3 months, it took 1 month to remix the songs. Over 180 dancers and around 280 costumes. Please keep in mind that some of the performances are pre-recorded due to set the stage, change and well breathe? 2018 was brilliant and I love the traditional aspect a lot. 2019 was wow… They practice the dances over and over, there is a lot of muscle memory. And they sing while running on a treadmill. It is just impressive.

[@thereisnosuchthingasabiasi80]

BTS' live performances are the reason why we have such high standards. Despite the difficult choreographies they've always sang live. But the best things about their performances is always the energy they bring. It feels the same whether it's just them 7 on the stage or a hundred people like many of the MMA and Mama performances.

He received the award after his contribution in spreading fan dance all around the world. Shortly after that his fan dance photo was seen on the cover of Weekly Gonggam issued by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism."

Ahh~ my FAV performance!! Did any of ya'll tell em about Golden Closet? JK did the video edits to the Idol entry performance. And they really incorporated the traditional celebrations... from Sam Gu-mu ( 3 drums) dance, to Buche ( the fan) dance to the Tal Chum ( the mask Dance) very traditional dances that were performed. Also, if you noticed, this person had Traditional musical instrument playing as well. My understanding is that it was played live. And than they brought out Pungmul Nori performers... Pungmul is something I associate with country side.. festival. I can't remember when I would see them... I want to say like on holidays like Chuseok (which is the harvest moon day) or may be even like on New Year... I remember it with more with like farmers celebrating the harvest... though. Anyway, yeah... they brought out the real traditional "dance"? performers to perform with them. Those people weren't just faking it.. or mimicking they were the real deal

This performance was in 2018. Daechwita as a song came out many years after this performance (2020) 😂😂 and the OT7 performance came out last year (2021)

Idol was such huge song. Everyone is playing it in the streets, malls, restaurants. Then they released a ft. with Nicki Minaj, everyone's learning to dance it- it was such a fun era. The intro 17:21 is like a national anthem, you just gotta get up and wave your hips. A piece of music that everyone truly enjoyed and nobody cared if it's K-pop or whatnot. Even my classmates who don't listen to k-pop just don't care and vibed with us. It was so loud in school parties and stores. It's like a festival for the whole year ♡

I'm telling you. You should react to "spring day" and its explanation. But you need to see the explanation by the Italian Army, MV - @ explanation - @ Even though you have to read the explanation by the Italian Army, This explanation is the best.

The thing you walk inside of is called a drum set, they are traditional drum girls (Samgo-mu.) The fan dance(Hallyangmu) is also a traditional dance performed by men of high standing. The last is called (Cheoyongmu) also known as the mask dance. They were accompanied by dancers of Pungmul and they were the dancers with the hats. RM said that Idol is their celebration of their heritage and so they had all these dancers shown together. Jimin in particular was given an award for his rendition of Hallyangmu as it was an international notice of the beauty of their dancing culture.

Seeing these AMAZING MMA award shows (BTS mini concerts) just shows the different levels of respect they get in Korea & Japan compared to America. MMA's say " You wanna do 40 min? You wanna bring 1,000 dancers & performers? And animals too? PLEASE DO!" GRAMMYS SAY " You are the biggest group in the world? Perform your #1 hit "Dynamite" at the end of the show, an abridged version please. And we're gonna give the award you should be getting to a song no one has heard of." That's why the Scammies can F right off into the sun.

The blocks/cells/rooms they performed the intro to Fake Love actually vaguely spelled out “Persona” which was a hint for the next album: “Map of the Soul: Persona”

It doesn't matter how many times I watch this BTS performance, everytime it's like my first!! It's just amazing!!!

[@JoobieLoobieSoobie]

There is something you should know about these performances. The shows are part live, part pre-recorded, to allow time for costume and set changes. For example, in this performance Airplane Pt. 2 was pre-recorded the day before, as well as the solo dances before Idol. The audience was watching them on giant screens. This is how all the award shows are produced for their feature artist each year. If you watch the next one and think "How did they do that???" this is the answer. You can tell which are pre-recorded because there are no cuts to the audience. Sometimes the solo dances are live, however. If you see the audience, it was live.

[@anishishah4008]

oh your mind will be blown with MMA 2019. best performance of all time.

[@dideymuniz6184]

Imagine watching this live. This award show used to be quite long (more than 4 hours long) with the time difference; it can be quite tiring to stay up watching. I was wide awake by the end of BTS' performance.
