namjoon did apologise. there was a line in the song which resembled a twitter user's tweet, something about loneliness. That twitter user called him out, saying he plagiarised from their tweet. and he later on apologised that along with writing his own thoughts as lyrics, he often gets inspired by other people's messages or thoughts. He was touched by that user's tweet, had apparently written it down or memorised it cuz it left a deep impression on him, but months later forgot about who or what the source was. The only thing he remebered was the message and he wrote it down in the song.

[@hd7704]

That wasn’t even plagiarism

[@sugaDumplings]

That person should be happy that RM noticed it and even got inspired to write down the lines in his song.

[@jamkutie]

That was hardly plagiarism he saw a nice quote in a random tweet that he doesn't even remember but calling it plagiarism makes it seem deliberate as if he went out his way to rip off an artist and pass it off as his own or something. I just hate people and how they are always trying to get him to apologise for random sh*t. I just want him to have a break from it all. I'm glad he has his art and books as an escape from the madness.

[@purplelsa]

@@hd7704 Right. It is so ridiculous.

[@iduli02]

It wasn't even an original tweet, Namjoon quoted a poem that the tweet AND anther artist had also quoted, so he got plagiarism accusations from both sides, even though the people he was accused of "plagiarizing" weren't the ones who came up with it.

[@iduli02]

I do dislike how ROB never explains the controversies... Namjoon quoted a poem that someone on twitter AND anther artist had also quoted, people didn't know it was a poem originally so he got plagiarism accusations from both sides. The people he was accused of "plagiarizing" were also just quoting. He apologized anyway but he shouldn't have, that's not plagiarism...

[@karlahernandez-qv5qz]

Yeah looking back at all these now they're missing/glazing over sooo much. It's a little frustrating but it's too late to edit anything now lol

[@BrilliantHuman]

16:10 "it's the thing you're signing up for"....yes criticism happens, and yes, we know people can be hateful...but I do believe we have to stop putting the onus on the people being bullied and but it back on the bully. Students get bullied too, do we say they signed up for it by going to school? Just bc someone chooses a profession that places more eyes on them, doesn't mean they need to take responsibility for the malicious hate sent their way. BTS actually addresses this in their track called Ugh. Cancel culture in Korea can be really really really intense and has lead to some idols (including friends of IU and V) to end their life. Yoongi also addresses this in his track Haegeum (which incidentally there was an idol who ended his life the week DDay was released.) RM himself has also shared that during those years of 2015/16 he had thoughts like that himself, besides just anxiety/depression. I personally have moved away from the idea that fame automatically should make someone a target and that that is what they are signing up for. BigHit has an email for reporting defamation and Army aren't afraid to use it, which has lead to charges and irl consequences for those being hateful and malicious.

[@goeienacht]

Well said. Empathy is especially deserved to be extended to artists in such an intense and bright spotlight.

[@SAWAG3002]

so so true!!!!

[@watermelontime1927]

Agree 100%, very well said. I do think there are cases where people say “it’s what you signed up for” and what they actually mean is just “well, this isn’t surprising” without intending to support the bullies and critics. But it does point to the problem. It’s really sad that harassment and harsh criticism of celebrities has become the norm. It’s something that we as a society need to fix. 💜

[@BrilliantHuman]

@@watermelontime1927 right, it is an unfortunate occurrence, but moving away from the language of essentially saying, 'what did you expect' is a much needed mindset shift, so that's why I pointed it out. No one ever signs up for abuse... but I know he's not intentionally blaming those in the spotlight, as they themselves have received hateful malicious comments themselves.

[@angryboo5773]

@@BrilliantHumanyour reply is actually so true, people just don’t realize ugh.

[@ain-vc3ey]

rm reads a lottt. so he get inspired from people tweets, books, anything. he jot down what he saw and read, but sometime he can't remember the source of his inspiration. he apologize doesnt make he's totally wrong.

[@hd7704]

RM shouldn’t have apologized. It’s just normal to draw inspiration from tree everywhere

[@caramel_keks]

namjoon singing "i wish i could love myself" and army shouting "we love you" back at him always gives me chills and makes me cry a little :') reflection too always makes me cry a little. i hope you could gain some comfort from this episode, don't listen to anyone saying bad stuff about you. you are precious and deserve to be loved

[@DancingRain_1997]

All BTS members have tattoos (7) for their friendship . Jimin and jungkook are the tattoo giants . Jungkook has a sleeve covered with tattoos and jimin also has (nevermind) on his ribs and (13) on his wrist and some other tattoos too . 38:30 it's there storyline (BU) . You don't want to go there yet .

[@kaydee613]

I understand that criticism and haters come with public spotlight, but you can't be dismissive when the toxicity is at a level that has resulted in numerous artists taking very unfortunate actions. While this happens around the world, it seems especially prominent in SK. Similarly, there is a culture of idols/actors being forced into public apologies for perceived faults, regardless of intention or context, with the public being judge, jury and executioner. You guys saw the 'hardships' video but that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to BTS unfortunately, and it continues even now. While they never name names, you'll see more of BTS's thoughts on this and the toll it takes when you deep dive into full songs (esp some of the rap line and fan songs).

[@shuga75]

The Snickers will make sense whenever you make it to the BU (Bangtan Universes), the fictional storyline that started with I Need U. The short film MVs for all the solo songs from Wings tie into the BU and also the book Demian by Herman Hesse.

[@z0feya]

just fyi... each of the boys solo songs from the Wings album were made into "short films" instead of music videos. The videos have nothing really to do with the songs, but rather they are part of the Bangtan Universe (the "BU"), which is the fictional storyline that runs through BTS' albums starting with HYYH. So... RM tattooing himself, Jhope being in an asylum... those things you're seeing are like, midway through an already-confusing (but really cool and dark) narrative. It's not gonna make sense unless you start from the beginning. 😅

[@toni5431]

Joon collects Bearbricks and Kaws. They are super expensive models. Hobi also has a collection of Kaws too.

[@spoopyjhope]

Idk if u guys have heard or mentioned it before in one of your videos but there is a kdrama coming out soon based on BTS' fictional storyline that runs through their music videos and other various forms of media. Hopefully u can check it out, there is no set premier date yet but it's this year. The members will not be acting in it and the characters were supposed to have their real names (Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, Park jimin, etc) but they changed it after backlash and now go by different names.

[@secretyidentity2833]

I don’t even remember much abt the whole plagiarism accusation, but from what I remember seeing ppl talk abt was something like RM takes notes of many things that inspire him and eventually put those notes into his music. So I think there was a line from somewhere that he wrote down and implemented into his lyrics but when he wrote it in his journal he didn’t right down where it was from. Now I don’t remember if it was the artist who originally came up with that quote that complained abt or if antis dug up the whole thing, but I think I remember hearing that eventually the original artist and RM settled things. (ARMY PLS CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG ABT ANYTHING) However, like it says in the video, bc of this ONE instance where RM felt he needed to apologize, countless baseless plagiarism accusations started to pop up (wasn’t the first time, but definitely one of the peaks), which you saw a bit of. Any time these boys make a mistake and even when they don’t ppl blow it all out of proportion.

[@hd7704]

Songwriters borrow from the world all the time, but only RM was shamed and forced to apologize for something normal.

[@honii_0045]

I agree, I noticed that even though there are tons of good comments, Harris sometimes fixates on the negatives ones. Listen, we are here because we like YOUR reactions. Lots of people have posted similar content but we subscribed to you for a reason. So feel free to ignore all unreasonable comments

[@meemac4709]

RM did not apologize on plagiarism. He and Boghit apologized to the song that were alleged to contain mysogynistic lyrics (War of Hormones) but the media latched on it and made it appear that he apologized on the unfounded plagiarism.

[@MinSugaCheonjae]

Yeah RM did admit that a line from one of his songs was plagiarized. He said he might have done it unconsciously as he is always reading books and other stuff on the internet. He apologized for his mistake. But as expected, other fandoms used this as an opportunity to accuse BTS of plagiarizing silly things like outfits, show graphics, hair colors etc. They even accused BTS of copying other groups' lyrics. But those accusations are without any actual basis. During those years - 2015 to 2018 - they received so much hate that they considered disbanding at one point. Explaining the extent of hate they received in a KZbin comment seems a little reductive, but it really affected them mentally. It's a really bad chapter in their as far as mental health goes, but it was also a really successful chapter career wise. Although I'm happy they were able to become more successful, I'm glad that chapter is over.

[@hd7704]

It was wrong to accuse him of plagiarism. Songwriters borrow lines from random places all the time. This is not plagiarism.

[@MinSugaCheonjae]

@@hd7704 Nah I disagree. You can borrow ideas, but not lines. But I'm happy that RM owned up to it. I admire that about him. He saw his mistake and admitted to it. No one is perfect. But when someone truly reflects on their mistakes, that's the best thing ever.

[@MinSugaCheonjae]

@@hd7704 Also tbh, I don't think the plagiarism accusation was that big of a deal because, if I remember correctly, the line wasn't copied from other songs, but from some online article or tweet or something.

[@shre33]

@@MinSugaCheonjae it was from a tweet the owner of the tweet he himself apologized to rm later for using harsh languauge after rms apology

[@boramiii]

​@@shre33which song is it?

[@brionyfakatou1620]

The snickers bar represents J-Hope’s character in the Bangtan Universe because in the BU J-Hope’s mom takes him to an amusement park, gives him a snickers bar and tells him to stay there and wait for her but then abandons him and he never sees her again. So you will see J-Hope with Snickers bars in multiple videos because it is a symbol of his character’s childhood trauma.

[@brionyfakatou1620]

Zico (former leader of Block B) is now a writer/producer for HYBE. Bang Si Hyuk bought Zico’s company just to get him. Apparently Bang Si Hyuk is a big fan of Zico’s and was willing to do whatever it took to get him to work for him.

[@Department_of_Justice]

Thanks guys, seeing RM's personal hardship he went through is definitely an opportunity for him to grow internally. They're amazing young men; their work ethic and mindsets blow me away.

[@chayanikaganguli9282]

Guys, the tattoos, pills, snickers(not a product placement) and asylum thing are all part of the BU/ BTS Universe. Their MVs/ songs are not just representations of their personal lives but also mixed with the characters in their storyline. In fact, guys, they will also have a drama coming out this year named "Begin Youth" which is basically the kdrama version of this storyline. It would be great if you react when it comes out. ALSO, guys, I know you're doing so much but since you are kind of reacting to other BTS videos as well. Please react to BTS ROOM LIVE from Festa 2021. This is their song compilation, one B-side from each album. It would be live, something like The Killing Voice.

[@MegaDz2]

It seems one of the best ways to grow your subscriber number is too upload consistently. I think you hit 20K not only because of your BTS content but because you guys seem a lot more consistent with all your content uploading/schedule lately.

so I remember this. ' I will become your underline because you are important ' it was something like that. ' 나는 너의 밑줄이 될게 너는 중요하니깐 ' honestly.... I heard of something like this before the person claims that it is his / her quote ?

[@anairsta6507]

My gateway into Kpop was Big Bang back in 2007. I had been listening to a lot of J-Rock bad then first with different Visual Kei bands. While watching one of these groups MV's I saw a video for a Big Bang MV's and checked it out. Then I fell into the Kpop rabbit hole.

Congrats on 20k guys

Just wanted to stop by and say CONGRATS ON 20K (should have said it in the previous video but forgot!). Every time I watch your reactions, I feel like i have so much to say, SO I need to stop watching this right before i need to go to work (like now, is just good to leave the house watching something that makes you happy ). Keep up the great work my "SOPE" 🤣💜

[@BoraMariposa]

I’m sorry but no one signs up for vile hate just because you are a celebrity or in the spotlight. First of all they are humans and they deserve the respect every human deserves. I’m so happy my boys were able to overcome and are in a place they are now. FYI the hate has never stopped.

RM is called the God of Destruction for a reason. He breaks almost everything he touches.

[@lealarsen2017]

it was only one incident with plagiarism it was a sentence RM wrote down as inspiration from a tweet. and then later turned into a lyric for one of their songs, not remembering where he got it from. the twitter person pointed it out and accused him of plagiarize. RM came forward and apologized for it. but the haters who works for the other kpop label in korea used that to accuse BTS of plagiarize on practically everything. it was so awful for RM. it is not something you can plagiarize i bet that twitter person got it from somewhere else. that´s just how inspiration works he got panic attacks from it and still has them today, when he read hate comments. it´s so sad that those people tend to ruin someone's lives. and it was fueled by an inside worker at one of the 3 labels in korea because they were afraid of BTS and their success. they tried to stop them. that is the start of how army became so protective. it has been confirmed by BTS themself they wrote about it in their newest book and let's just say er certain groups fans really didn´t like that.

[@paolarojas2981]

[@jamkutie]

No you do not sign up for it i disagree. You sign up to perform and do your passion. People who are sh*tty don't get a pass just because you want to be a musician. We need more compassion for the artist and not to allow absolute bullies to get away it. Ridiculous.

[@BellachixxNYC]

Exactly it’s this mentality that irks me and it’s the same to this day..oh they are rich and successful and in the spotlight so they’ll be ok..um no.. they are humans first of all and no one should be getting the amount of hate my boys got..no one signs up for it.

[@angryboo5773]

Do you think everything is just rose petals and happiness? Hes thinking from a realistic point of view and also cause the same things happened to them as well

[@g100-w6j]

​@@angryboo5773 nobody said that and ofc it can't be just rose petals and rainbows but you mean to tell me the members signed up for constant and increasing harassment and bullying over the years not just in the kpop bubble but on a global scale.....where people r free to send them death and or rape threats, vile racist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic insults for absolutely no reason and all of that is normalized towards them🥴🙃🙃 somehow nobody sees that as wrong except army who r here to report those accounts because western stan, kpop stan all join in on the harassment even football stans do.....even when bts has nothing to do with a situation or an event the guys somehow get brought up and they end up burned in the end instead of xyz person. None of that is normal or acceptable and for the tannies who r such genuine and good people to their core who do nothing but mind their business, make their music and perform all of these shenanigans r even more baffling

[@zuveria07]

28:45 the fact that they did it No1 on Hot 100 with a korean song, only korean no only asian act to ever do so makes me more proud

[@sharonnelson3713]

Hi there. I just want to let you know that there is a song called “Sukioki” I think I may have misspelled the song, that was released over 50 years ago that hit # 1 on Billboard Hot 100. It was a Japanese song sung by a Japanese artist. I remember that song playing a lot on the radio. I don’t know the original title of the song but when it was released in the US and all over the world they re- titled as Sukioki.

[@ashleyder9164]

Just so you know, their Wings solos (Reflection, Mama, etc) don't have music videos....they have short films that feature the song, and it is part of the Bangtan Universe fictional story that started in their music videos etc during The Most Beautiful Moment in Life era.

[@BtsyearJK2025]

Jungkook is the biggest fan of IU since he was a kid no one can compete the dong he sang on the singing competition was lost child by IU probably her debut song

neg. comments are useless. Criticism should be thought about and then discarded or used to improve. RM finally got that, but it took a min. and a conversation with Jin in Hawaii. Being honest with yourself is one of the things humans have to learn. I enjoy your reactions and have no criticism for you this morning. 😁💜 ( I wrote this before I knew the convo with Jin was in this episode, LOL) This is from Bon Voyage.)

HAWAII...BON VOYAGE 2....AFTER THEY FINISHED THE US TOUR IN 2017 I THINK////

[@NanciBK]

Do they read the comments? I see a lot of things explained in the comments, but then they still don't seem to understand them in later videos and keep repeating misconceptions based on missing context from previous ROB episodes. At the end of the day, ROB is not the whole story. They barely touch the surface on the abuse Bangtan has suffered and fail to explain the context and that the hate and accusations were all unfounded. The headlines are misleading, because the press was also being unfair due to their connections with the larger labels who were trying hard to take BTS down. That's not paranoia, just a fact of the way the music mafia works in S Korea, and indeed globally. They were constantly looking for things to attack BTS on and none of it was above board or held any truth, even though BTS were always trying to calm things down by apologizing when they didn't need to, like the with constant plagiarism accusations, not a one of which was ever founded, and that Big Hit eventually started fighting in court when they could afford lawyers. BTS were extreme underdogs with no connections nor power to protect them and it made them easy targets. All they had was ARMY, and so ARMY tried to protect them as best we could, but we didn't write the headlines.

[@ZariDV]

Unfortunately, a lot of kpop idols tend to apologize to keep the peace just as a standard practice even when they didn't do something, it was a misunderstanding or if people blew it so far out of proportion that it barely compares to what they're being accused of. It's something that my Western brain still cant quite grapple with tbh. I can't get behind the way it's so normalized to cater to netizens on power trips who are doing entirely too much. I was really glad to see that in recent times BTS have stopped doing that and if they know there's nothing to apologize for, they simply won't. Cyber bullying culture gets off on average Joes feeling like they have power over those who have a big platform. Other people already explained the RM situation so I won't get into it but it seems like people online have no idea how actual plagiarism works.
