BTS x Disrespectful People | Communication Coach Reacts!

[@Lorena-uv2zo]

When Yoongi was away for his shoulder surgery RM said “The press conferences were difficult because I didn’t have the intuitive and cool care that only you can provide”. That’s how deep the BTS bond is.

[@excusemeeestobit9790]

Hahaha in that first clip, after yoongi responds to the question he actually (being intentionally obvious) crosses out the reporters name. He lifted the paper as if to write something then just drew a line, all with a smirk on his face. People said this most likely meant the reporter wouldn’t be allowed to attend a bts event again, and probably any of hybe’s group’s events after that 😌

I think it's actually intimidating, like someone giving you a second chance at redeeming yourself after your stupid words before they tear you to shreds. Put it simply, it's alike to "Excuse me?" with sassyness. But very politely, which put the person in a more dignified and civilized position than their opponent.

3 things I would like to mention here (04:30): - Namjoon showing once again how to be a good leader because he was ready to answer the question, but as soon as he listened to Yoongi's voice, he put down his mic and let him handle that. - Yoongi did a great job answering the malicious reporter. - We found out later that the reporter who asked that question was indeed paid by another agency to make those questions in order to create controversy.

[@marinal.]

yes

[@SusieQ1955]

I'm really glad for this reaction and seeing you again Glad it's about BTS - they are the best! There's an entire video by xCeleste (reputable) about harms done to them. It's not just fans in mobs which got really bad in 2022-23, or stupid comments. The Big Three agencies were horrible, the media twisted headlines, they were accused of plagiarism and chart manipulation, even now their songs aren't played on the radio because they "sing in Korean" - as if Dynamite and Seven weren't in English. Some was personal, J-Hope is ugly, Jimin is fat. One death threat caused a cancellation of a concert, another was to shoot Jimin on stage. Our guys are tough. RM writes lyrics & raps but yoongi REALLY lets them have - all the way back to an early song called Agust D. That name is his rage name. If you have seen the rap line's Cyphers or Mic Drop, they are all about haters of all kinds. ARMY is so strong because ARMY got defensive in a battlefield way to protect them. That's why we're so organized and ready and supportive. And that's why other fan groups hate ARMY. It's ugly. The hateful stuff is rising again. BTS goes away and everyone wants awards or whatever, but now BTS has six people (soon to be another) STILL taking those awards. Anyway, Jin will be home in 3 1/2 weeks, so we'll see some humor and good spirits! Please do more with BTS if you can find anything, maybe lyric analysis? Have you done Suchwitas? There are 21(?) episodes. Also Wooga Squad Staycation - V's other friendship group, major Korean actors.

[@hanatop40]

Yes, because it was a press conference attended by many foreign journalists. So he was trying to portray BTS in a bad way in front of them.

[@Kunoichi4ever4]

I am still so happy Taehyung pulled out his phone against that disrespectful fan and served her her own medicine. I remember some people being in uproar about it, but if somebody does not respect your boundries, and you tellting them does not work - many times you showing them WILL work.

[@eileencritchley4630]

[@jananjaja4156]

and his camera was on selfie mode. he didnt invades anyone's privacy. he just defended himself

[@wmk0945]

namjoon taking notes at the conference is such a smart thing to do because not only is he taking notes for himself so can give a coherent answer, but it also intimidates the other interlocutors because you know he's not playing and i feel like you'd wonder what is he writing so much? what is he going to say.

[@Melesse636]

JK's (paraphrased) "Explain how Seven is dirty. It's not dirty, it's *explict*." was amazing. He was really deferential to ARMY in his early days on vlive, to have him be so firm, so clear this this was HIS song, with the lyrics HE chose to sing and to HIM it was explict, not dirty... was a hell of a thing.

[@mawbast1]

I saw an interview where the host speculated that BTS got so much hate because they were proof that with talent, hard work and thinking outside the box these groups didn’t need to be in the Big 3 or use any of their media connections and that shook the industry to the bones, including western companies.

[@ryanittodraws]

The clip of taehyung bringing his phone out has always been on of my favorites. For years, people have been getting away with invading idols' space and treating them like objects. It was refreshing to see such an outward response towards the disrespect taehyung was facing. He was on a solo vacation at that time if i remember correctly. But also, if you look closely youll see that his phone was open to the front camera so he didnt actually take any pictures of her :)

I love how Namjoon perfectly respectfully asked for clarification, wording it in a way that would allow the reporter to walk it back. But when that man doubled down he let Yoongi hadle him.

[@maxpbeaumont]

Exactly. He gave the reporter the benefit of the doubt.

[@pyejammiesfanfic640]

Yoongi shut that reporter down so calmly. That issue was settled amicably by BigHit and the French artist. It's such a shame that some people get pleasure from denigrating others. There's room for everyone. We all have our preferences. I think BTS stand head and shoulders above everyone else but I'm happy that people have other artists they prefer. You mentioned that you thought that Jimin would be more affected by the haters and indeed there was a Live where hurtful remarks were being made on the chat and he was obviously upset and the others were fuming because of they way the haters were treating him. How anyone can hurt such a sweet person is beyond me. Thanks again, Max.

That clip from Indonesia, that boat crammed full of people, is there because fans rented that boat and spent the entire day following around another boat.

The crazy thing is that to haters nothing bts does is ever enough.. they didn’t have a daesang, they were hated on… they got 40 now.. as of that video, I’m pretty sure they have more now. But then they switched up.. well BTS can’t win a Grammy…and BTS is the only Korean act to EVER get nominated.. it’s just never enough for them.. any little thing they can nitpick at, they go for it.. such a shame

[@kuroro9949]

Well, have their favs ever even gotten nominated for a Grammy? No, they haven't. BTS got nominated for 5 Grammys in a rigged American-favoring competition. Let them just be jealous - they're just embarrassing themselves 😂💜 I feel bad for the groups that have fans like those. They work hard just to have petty fans that, instead of supporting them, spew hatred toward another group. It just shows how, for those fans, their favs achievements aren't enough so they need to put down others. Really sad and rude for the artists

[@GoldenWreck]

@@kuroro9949 Agreed but it's not necessary to counter with comparisons by saying "Well does X have this achievement like this group does? No," since it's not those groups' fault some of their fans are immature like that, so no need to put other groups down. But otherwise yes.

[@kuroro9949]

@@GoldenWreck I think you missundertood my comment. I was not putting down other groups, just pointing out their hypocrisy and the absurdity of those claims. They're mocking their own groups with those remarks. Since they think it's a failure for BTS, then it's failure for all the other groups since they were the only ones to even get nominated for a Grammy. All groups have their own achievements and they should be celebrating those instead of attacking other groups - not only BTS - because they're embarrassing themselves (not their idols - the idols have no reason to feel embarrassed.) They all work really hard and deserve to be praised for their hard-work but those fans spend their energy attacking other groups instead

But Jin handled it with grace later. Its like the reporter/photographer who told JK to b put his hand down because he was in America. That was some BS! But Tae walked out taking the rest if the group with him, cutting the session short. He doesn't tolerate disrespect.

There have been occasions where the title of the video would have been more appropriate.

One lady one time called Jungkook by a name that implied he was older than her and in a romantic sense and he immediately denied that it. If you haven't seen them, there are a series of videos called "Karma is an ARMY" that showcases times when haters were dragging BTS for not accomplishing something or saying that they would never accomplish it, and then BTS turned around and proved them wrong.

Actually back then they were very careful what they did and what they said. Not so much now. In the recent years members have called out fans more directly and did it forcefully but maintained professionalism. V calling out fans about his relationships.. his accusations of racism towards blacks because of something he wore. Jk . Putting it straight that he’s an adult not a child and can drink and smoke. Also putting fans in their place about sexual lyrics in seven. Again he said he’s an adult and they were welcomed not to listen. Rm. calling out fans for music he listened to and objecting. He made it clear that army has changed and he has the right to listen to any music he wanted. Suga… I don’t need to list his. He is straightforward and doesn’t care if he hurts feelings. Jimin is different. Jimin I believe receives the most hate than any other member. There’s not one specific reason. Called “pigmin”. Bullied constantly. He of course being jimin doesn’t address it and takes it. Jhope and Jin? Not much that they have had to deal with . I think now that they have become comfortable in who they are as adults and in their beliefs they address things differently without the company statements.

[@glossaria2]

Namjoon and Yoongi REGULARLY used haters' comments as fuel. cf: the lyrics of Cyphers (ESPECIALLY Cypher 4: "I'll be the drum, just hit me hard... / ...You hate me but YOU KNOW ME / I like hate comments more than no comments / I don’t know you BUT YOU KNOW MY NAME"), Ddaeng, Mic Drop, Agust D (the song), and Joke. Yoongi even called Daechwita "a honey trap for haters." In 2013, RM appeared on RM's "4 Things" show. The handed him a tablet and asked him to read the contents aloud and comment on them. They were all hate letters directed at him. He read them all aloud, looked up from the tablet, worked his jaw for a moment, stared directly into the camera, and said, "I will prove it to you all." (You can see the clip at the beginning of this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4WvhmWOm7qHqK8 )

I remember seeing some videos a year or so back, talking about Tae Tae not waving to fans and whatever before getting into his vehicle. It was " OMG HE HAS CHANGED!" You know, he probably has, but this instance was not indicative of that or anything else. I'd like to be clear here. No, I am not Korean, so I suppose some things may be different than here in the States, and I am also 53 and so older than many of other ARMY. That being said, BTS collectively or each member only owes fans two things. To record the best music they can and to perform as best they can. They don't owe you their smiles, their autographs, their time outside of what it takes to do those two things or anything else. They dont owe us details of their lives or access to their private selves. They do not owe any of us anything. Sure, you can argue that good engagement is a necessity of this life, and that is true to some extent. But not everything nor all the time. They make an album not up to snuff, you can give that a critical review. They perform sloppy, and you have every right to be critical of that. You can show that displeasure by that and by not buying their next song or seeing their next show. They do not owe us One. Damn. Thing. Nothing besides that which was aforementioned. How many of us have had a bad day, maybe don't feel like talking? Can you imagine being there, swamped everywhere you go, people grabbing at you, yelling, and then being pissed because you just wanted to go home? I have never seen any BTS members being rude to a fan. In fact, they are inordinarily generous with themselves for us. I thank them for that. But they do not owe it to me or anyone else. I love BTS because (thanks to my daughter singing their praises for years, and I finally got my head outta my arse) when I finally actually gave them a chance, I saw how hard working they were. How talented and real they seemed. But mostly that hard word, for young men who typically would just be chilling and gaming or whatever. They worked harder than I ever have, and they deserve our respect for that regardless of how we might feel about their music. This typically is not where my musical taste gravitate. I am a blues rock and metal fan but with enough other music likes that I now love them. They are kind, great singers, dancers and performers. Mostly, though, they really seem like great HUMAN BEINGS. I don't give a shit if they wear makeup, color their hair, are Korean or anything else because that is nothing more than window dressing. They are hard-working, respectful, and kind young men so nothing else is of consequence. I can not state how proud I am to consider myself ARMY. For those of you that do not like BTS. You don't have to like their music, their performances, their looks....whatever. You damn sure, though, should respect them and have some grace regarding them. It's being a good human, and someday, you just may need a bit of grace yourself.

You're right about V. He's a sweetheart but he's no one's doormat. I admire that about him so much.

5:49 if I recall that person harassing him at the airport complained later that it caused her emotional distress when he did film back at her.

Lol, ironical she didn't think her actions will cause the idol in question emotional distress, 😂😂😂V gave her the same energy she was giving and she couldn't take it.

[@susansouthgate2774]

I remember watching your first reactions to BTS material, positive but asking for advice from Army... now you're more Army than Army! 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏💜

[@anitaherbert1037]

BTS challenged the haters world view. As industry outsiders they were not supposed to succeed in their early days they were not allowed the same opportunities as other new groups. Their management and BTS did not behave the way idols were supposed to behave. They were goofy, silly, yet they still succeeded. When they won in the early years it did not seem it could be possible so corruption was suspected. As every wrong assumption was challenged and success led to success they seemed to be taking all the awards, getting all the best sponsorships. Taking success away from their favourites and these attitudes were encouraged by the rival companies whose income stream was affected. At one point BTS represented slightly more than 50% of total kpop market share. Nobody could understand it because in their mindset and world view what BTS did should not be possible.

[@vminkookgf]

I feel like the video you're reacting to is a bit outdated as of today, because 2023 really showed us how they've grown as people in the spotlight. Their reaction to disrespectful comments have become more sophisticated, it's like they're more confident and sure of themselves, and are not afraid to stand up for their art and what they believe in. Especially Jungkook and Namjoon. Jungkook in particular has shown immense growth during seven/golden's release whenever he was asked about his change to a more mature concept. I feel like it's worth looking more into because I've been an army for around six years and some of their responses have really surprised me, but have me feeling very proud of them as well :)

[@purpleiris6521]

@10:39 Yeah, age isn't an excuse for behaving like that. They apologised for what they did the time before, showing that they knew what they did was wrong, and then within seconds done the exact same thing again. That's not okay, no matter what the age. Don't make excuses for toxic fans, no matter what fandom they're in; and I'm saying this as an Army myself.

[@marionwilliams2436]

Members hit back with songs and and all the haters know that they are talking about them.

[@ttirinen]

I'm not saying that your Army shows but your Army shows😂😂❤❤❤💪🏼

My headcannon is that rm is actually getting material to write the next cypher.

[@SnapCracklyPop]

The thing about that global press conference is it’s about promoting their new album Map of the Soul: Persona which was in 2019. That journalist was bringing up a topic about their album from 2016. They have released three more albums since and a fourth with MOTS: Persona. So that question was out of place and rude when they are there to talk about the new album.

[@Borapo2025]

During their 2018 speech when they spoke about disbandment kills me. But one of the reasons they did consider it was because of how bad the cyber bullying has been. Its always been terrible.

[@imajinallthepurple]

I think you're right about the haters fuelling some of them. Look at the lyrics of We On and it'll tell you all you need to know. 😏💜

[@singularity553]

There's a video of V doing a Vlive and someone said they didn't like his glasses and V was like the look good basically saying don't tell me what to wear so yes he is very clear about his boundaries.

Would be fascinating for you to react to CEO Min Hee Jin’s press conference ( Ador vs HYBE conflict).

[@ParkJiminFTLFFProductions]

Yes!

[@elizabethsnyder9678]

Objecting the issue people tend to view idols as objects not a person.

[@Vincisomething]

6:25 reminds me of this Tra Rag skit, When People Brag about celebrities money, but almost in reverse. Instead of bragging about the celebrities accomplishments like it's your own to degrade someone, they think the celebrity not having an award makes them look better even though no one knows who they are. It almost give's that one line from Doja Cat attention, "I just paid your bill with a reply." "But do YOU have more money?" (Do YOU have a daesang?). BTS used to get a lot of hate in the beginning when they were just coming up, before they were famous- as a group and individually- but it seems like now a lot of the hate is conflated with their feelings towards army or just ignorance.

[@yours_eve2001]

I remember that when V was caught smoking, bc in Korea it is considered bad, there was a hater in one of the concerts with a sign " No smoking" something like that, and V was pretending to smoking on purpose on the stage, with a lollipop. That is also an example that he cannot take these stuff. He is free to do whatever he wants. People believe that Bts belong to the us. No, they are human beings.

[@marionwilliams2436]

This reminds me of an episode of Star track when captain Kirk was silent and let Spook talk and Kirk listen and took note.

[@jungkookswife3301]

Fame comes with a lot of hate too, honestly I think you're right about the hate being a lot towards army, we are a huge community, really loyal to bts, we are really proud of them & often kinda brag about their success, I think this makes some people really mad & they just wanna break our happiness & they're just jealous honestly haha. But in the end, anyone who hates on bts, just looks goofy, like Bts will always proves to those haters that they're the most popular group for a good reason & that nothing will bring them down. It's just embarrassing to hate on Bts😂

[@MidnightLee-55]

There's a clip of a very young Namjoon reading 'hate' comments & comments saying Bangtan won't be successful . His response is mature beyond his years with a simple "I'll prove it to you..". I do think there are some cultural factors at play with not only Bangtans responses ( particularly Yoongi ) that could be explored further. The Indonesia clips are a case in point I think, as is Yoongis response to the reporter asking about plagiarism. The whole concept of things like parakin fans, saesangs & fans who overstep the mark seem inevitable when we are privileged to see so much of Bangtan, not just their music. As for Jin, that man is savage, good for him
