FILMMAKER Reacts To BTS BT21 UNIVERSE 1 | EP 6-13

[@That_One_20]

There is a storyline series as well where they give them a well, a storyline! (The one im talking about in this comment is universe 3 and i just realized u will be going to universe 2 next which makes sense 🤦‍♀️ lol) I recommend checking that out too! They came out with a full like 10~15 minute animation that has each of their storylines in it and bts reacted to it as well! U can check that out to if u want!😁

[@salwarahman8748]

FYI: Shooky is a literal cookie, that's why he melts away in milk and why Kooky (JK's character) has "Eating Shooky" as a hobby lol. That's also why Suga suggested it be turned into an actual cookie product 😂

[@Airryzbella]

the bt21 has a story. I specially love how each everyone met.

[@Gg-wq8uu]

Van is considered the concept of ARMY. TaTa’s Robot. That’s the one you were curious about. More technical, Van is: “The sentient and all-knowing robot VAN seems to be knowledgeable. in just about everything in the galaxy. Acts as protector of BT21, 24/7. #guardian #vehicle #transforming #robot”

[@opheliase7473]

I'm so anxious for him to watch Van's origin story. I always end up crying.

[@jennaeveliina313]

@@opheliase7473 true! I always hate it when i see some ARMYs commenting that BT21 is the only BTS related content that they havnt watched, and r not gonna watch since "it doesnt have BTS in it" i cant belive some are so stubborn not to give it a try, just because they cant see the members in it..😔😠

[@kenjik6512]

RJ is definitely the most popular because it’s literally always sold out everywhere

[@endxofxeternity]

RJ so lucky gets to go with BTS to everything!

[@potter286]

I literally went to hmv and there was one RJ keyring left

[@endxofxeternity]

@@potter286 Lucky! whenever I head into the city there is never any RJ stock, not even the stickers! I've had to order online, which is always super expensive T_T

[@d.k.hapsari6030]

@@blueberryj4351 hmm....are you drunk?

[@flyushkifly]

@@blueberryj4351 Don't you dare twist my words to fit your disturbed lies. You are toxic and need help. I sincerely hope you seek it.

[@franzxiya]

You cant imagine how far bt21 have gone, this IP is really successful. Alot of brands have collaborated with bt21, from clothing lines like anti social club, bershka, shoes like converse, reebok, food - dunkin donuts, cosmetics, stationery, name it BT21 has collab with it.

[@EvieKng]

The most effective way to capture the general public! So many people have bt21 products but they don't even know they're BTS related. My boss has bt21 pens, which she bought just cos they're cute.

[@hannyoongi]

@@EvieKng this is so true. I have a colleague who has an unofficial chimmy sanitizer. I was so happy when I saw it but it turns out, she doesn't know who Chimmy is. It was given to her by her friend. And that friend is also not an ARMY who doesn't even know the character is BTS related. Even some of our clients wore unofficial bt21 merchandise. I know they're not ARMYs because I will mention any BT21 character or any BTS member out of nowhere without context (for example I'll say "Mang" or "Jung Hoseok" out of the blue) and they will not react. They don't recognize the name.

[@ngocthaovantran4562]

It’s so amazing that the way Alex discovered our BT21 is just the same way BTS has wished. He found out these characters in a store, recognized their charisma and later on figure out they are related to BTS. 🥰🥰

[@rkive1790]

each one has their little stories and from time to time they do live on their youtube channel, their "personalities" are similar to that of the boys and their merch is everything you can imagine

[@kei.ahn12]

Actually the RJ name of RJ does really makes sense now, even though it's just a coincidence when you flipped Jin's hangeul name ' 진 ' you can see the word RJ. 🤭😂

[@tammarabg8174]

Mang can mean pony or fail, it is also part of huimang, meaning hope. RJ's name... Alpaca in Korean sounds like Alpaca with a Korean accent. Jin played with the Hangul spelling, 알파카and the romanization of the letters. 알 [ahl] 파 [pah] 카 [kah]. The first syllable is made up of 3 letters, ㅇ ㅏ ㄹ. ㅇ is a place holder when at the beginning of a syllable and is silent. ㅏ is the vowel ahh sound. (There are 21 vowels in korean, and they have just one sound, unlike English). ㄹ is the letter named rieul [ree-ewl]. Alpaca Jin...so why not AJ? Alpaca has the ㅏ[ahh] vowel, while AJ would have a different vowel, either ㅐ orㅔ And why not LJ instead of RJ? When ㄹ comes at the end of a syllable, it is romanized as L. The sound is similar to an English L. However, when ㄹ comes at the beginning of a syllable it is romanized as an R and has the sound of a Spanish R (a soft d sound, not the rolling R of rr). When Jin is explaining RJ he says "알 [ahl] J" Which sounds like RJ because of something batchim (final consonant pronunciations). Hopefully, that was somewhat clear.

[@danielaegs9373]

Shooky(Suga's Character) is a Cookie, that's why it melts out with milk 🤸🏻‍♀️🤣

[@yamebhe6098]

i love the part when they make their character story line it shows bts artistic side theres alot of bt21 video also. from character story, bts react on bt21 and bt21 journey

[@eggy2891]

Everywhere Jin goes, be it local or overseas, he's got RJ merch with him.

[@katuhakir5585]

You should definitely look how they came up with a story for all the characters - so hilarious

[@nevaladder]

Next up is BT21 Universe 1. They create back stories for each of the characters and they produce incredibly creative mini-movies for each! I don't want to spoil it for you, but rest assured they pull out all the stops creativity-wise.

[@soop5414]

Watch the entire process and pay attention to everything the members say. The animators incorporate alot of BTS' ideas into future cartoon episodes. Including details from other BTS content. Easter eggs everywhere!

[@helenvane]

shooky = suga + cookie; the cookie that jungkook drew for his own character. none of yoongi's characters really stuck out, so they decided to make jungkook's character's cookie, yoongi's character. they did use the expressions yoongi drew for shooky though. that's why he's a brown circle; he's literally a cookie.

[@squishycoveswena]

Universe 2 is where they start really flushing out backstories for the BT21 characters

[@endxofxeternity]

RJ is so lucky. Gets to travel all over the world with BTS!!!

[@piercetheskye_4508]

Bt21 is an animation. After watching the making of universe 2 and 3 you should watch their reaction to the animations. It's all on the bt21 channel

[@yourlocalfairyhere]

The background stories of the characters is also a very fun series to check out !!

[@chikabhotax3168]

RJ so cute 🌷💜

[@jhopessoundeffects]

It's sooo cool that u already met them in a store lol. Must have been a cool trip without knowing these cute characters names and such then later on finding out that it was made by BTS. Kinda funny story that u met bt21 first 🤣 . Looking forward for more bt21 reactions from u 💜

[@logmygsj1676]

j - (hope) in korean is 희망 and is pronounced as huimang, that's where the name "mang" comes from

[@racheljerusha]

You should watch the BT21 Universe Animation - BTS reaction. They react to the animated version of their characters for the first time. Also Van protects BT21 is said to represent Army.

[@kabazinga]

20:33 they all love their characters and use the merch etc but jin is especially obsessed, he still uses an rj pillow to this day, has a giant rj in his home (like it’s as tall as him), once bought an rj at an airport just because he saw one, takes rj on planes during their tours, once gifted rj keychains to all of their staff and more

[@athirahzukri322]

thats bcs he always appreciates his works. and that can also be good for marketing. that is why rj is always sold out.

[@minSunshine33]

댕댕쓰 영상내내 꿀잠 자고잇는거 너무 기여워요ㅋㅋㅋ

[@flyushkifly]

It took me a year to figure out that when you rotate RJ 90 degrees clockwise, it spells Jin in Hangul - 진 It's hard to tell with this font. But yeah, the sneaky genius put a dad joke into his kid's name. I don't know why more people don't talk about that. hehe

[@moonjunhui13]

suga's character is a cookie lmao that's why he is a circle . Remember Jungkook drawing the cookie with his charecter ?? 😂

[@malvi09jump]

Jin carrying RJ in airplanes, hotels, everywhere, making people know his child, that's so cute. I want to buy all these 8 characters, but unfortunately I don't have any yet.. but some day I will. After these videos BTS created a whole storyline, there are several videos telling their back stories, they're adorable.

[@pennyyoung3997]

Suga is the cookie and Van is a kind of representation of ARMY.

[@cynthiabrinker466]

Suga once said that when he dies he wants to come back as a stone then V said it didn’t matter because he would carry the stone around and take it to a lot of nice places haha

[@kiannagriffin6631]

Yes they have a "show". It's more like animated shorts but they are connected and have their own universe with villains and origin stories and everything. BTS even reacted to the origin shorts for the characters

[@zairakyle5343]

Yeah according to Line store RJ is the best selling and most popular bt21 character. Buying rj is like ticketing on bts concert

[@gudly8]

TATA is the most popular.. when the others have one row.. TATA has four.. and still always sold out.

[@tinytayvee8536]

There is a video of BTS viewing their character's backstories... you should absolutely check it out!!!!

[@youniverse1001]

BT21 is a legendary idol hahaha, their merch is so diverse, basically anything you can imagine! Too much merch to the point that you can build a house with it. They have sanitary products, stationery, fashion, etc

[@Daniela-hk2rh]

I would love for you to continue reacting to the rest of the series. They come up with the story line themselves and even react to the characters intros. They are so involved throughout the process which make us love the characters more.

[@myouniverse0613]

I recomment reacting to Chimmy's short story about how he met Tata, it's so heartbreaking it made me cry :( I also think it's the most popular BT21 animation

[@fmoreira2727]

I’d love to see a Mochi stuffie or some Mochi merch! He’s as cute as BT21 characters, would be lovely to know his backstory too

[@SilverSeaOT7]

Would love to see your opinion of BTS performing Boy with Luv on Stephen Colbert. It is filmed in black and white. Stephen does an impression of Ed Sullivan while introducing BTS (as Sullivan introduced the Beatles to the US back in the day.) They are wearing suits just as the Beatles did. I think it would be something you may enjoy. Also, the in person performance of Black Swan on James Corden. The dance is slightly different as is the stage setting and performed barefoot.

[@etherealfoe1599]

i can't wait for Universe 2!!! I've watched this SO many times! HAHAHHA but it feels like I'm watching for the first time and with you reacting to it is really fun to hear your thoughts and be in this journey with you! it makes me happy watching your reactions :)

[@anagi5561]

BT21 are really successful and popular...i actually know first these characters before i could have got interest in BTS and later on found out that it was BTS created them...which is funny and odd hahaha but im glad... the creative team also the marketing team are all amazing for helping BTS to create these lovely characters and BTS also really adore and love them just like their own children. You could see them having their characters on some of their tours and shows. Naturally using them coz they love it not bcoz for promotions... thanks Alex for watching these episodes love it and hoping u still watch the rest of the seasons episodes where Bangtan really showed their creative minds in creating storyline for their children 😊💜 FYI up until now im stil watching every BT21 new episodes coz i really like them 😊💜

[@zuleikadiaz8624]

Can’t wait for you to react to their animated series and BTS reaction to the characters animated intro! Oh and you may like to check their collab with Maple Story 😉

[@younicekeepgoing557]

Just like this, They are also so involved in their Artist Made Collection, like what they want and the details....if u want u can react to that too....why do some things doesnt involve filmmaking but I remember u with this kind of things....maybe because of ur creativity?

[@dianahernandez6315]

Definitely BT21 become famous in their own as BTS wanted. They are collaborated with many brands more than BTS. What I like is that BTS always promote and give love to their characters every time they could, even now, especially Jin with RJ. Also, It's awesome how every time BTS made something, they participed as much as they can. Like BT21, Maple Story and the new products made by BTS. (I recommend you watch this) 💜

[@XelingNight]

You have to see their stories!!! It's super emotional and beautiful!! 💞💜

[@mariaadnane4321]

I’m from Algeria and whenever I see this series and how RM mention it my heart flatter 🥺💜

[@shofia_2905]

BT21 is sooo popular! A lil fun story, i got my Koya keychain even before i became an ARMY 🤭 they're so cute!!!

[@bellcharmender]

RJ is a sold out king. You can see Jin always bring RJ until to this day even on the recent concert. He love RJ so much.

[@EllieElizabethE]

there's this really cute commercial that incheon airport did together with bt21 that i think you should check out, it mixes like real fottage with the animated character.

[@imchar_ming]

did you know if you turn upside down the RJ it will be JIn (진) in hangul vice versa

[@sonablom]

I have a bt21 tamagotchi lol. I have to restrain myself because truthfully I want to buy so much bt21 merch. Definitely think you’ll like it when they do the animated vids for each character.

[@cucle1127]

BTS also created babies version of BT21 and storyline of that version too pls react to the video about it. Thank u so much for your reaction!

[@Lycasaurus]

Please continue reacting to/watching the bt21 series! Love love love their storylines

[@Gabriela-ul5yi]

I felt like nobody told you this, LINE is a Korean messaging app company, like WhatsApp, but there. In the lad years, LINE has made a lot of collaborations to expand their company, so i think like in 2017-2018, they collaborated with BTS to create stickers for the app, that was the initial point on creating BT21, but obviously, they made merch of it, like clothes how they showed in the video you watched, but other stuff as well, like lamps, toys, plushies, keychains, and so on. I hope you can continue with the BT21 universe series!

[@aris_wor]

There is a bt21 universe where bts do create the story AND they also get their own small mvs! Animation is very beautiful, please check that out too!

[@xlottyx2979]

the best part of this was the boys sending their pictures in the gc lmao

[@annanamoose9943]

I love this product line. I so want an RJ pillow and and Koya bluetooth speaker. I do have a Chimmy pillow and it is so cute!!!. I collected the mystery BT21 toy set and each figure was delivered in Van container, so I have 7 Van figures 😆, that I can paint and style with paint and pens

[@lizzysmom8899]

I don't know if it was the original intention, but Van is pretty universally accepted to represent ARMY. If I remember correctly, he helps bring them together and acts as their protector.

[@devanshiparmar6180]

Yayyy, I am happy that you finished this series!! Looking forward to more reactions!!!

[@thisisjadey]

Looking forward to you reacting to their storylines or the back story of each character. It's really good!

[@rahmahrashid5249]

Please react season 2&3 of BT21

[@lisanelson1522]

Yes!

[@LynnHermione]

you should watch the actual shorts, they are so cool

[@moonchild4338]

There is a store of BT21? Thats really cool?? In my country BT21 collab with many products most recently a makeup product and a boba drink, but they sold out real fast! I don't think they had a store yet here but that would be great. I can't wait for you to watch the rest especially entering the storylinen:D

[@jennaeveliina313]

The storyline they made for these are hilarious!!! I hope you watch some of them at least since they are pretty short episodes. People have already suggested the good one in the comments!✋🙏 i love the one where all characters meet each other!😊

[@alvichi]

I didnt see anyone comment but BT21 does have it's own Instagram. It's very cute

[@aquiii]

The season 2 is where they described the background of each character

[@jacquereid9958]

The videos of them developing the storylines are great and then the episodes are always fun! 💜💜

[@issa6]

easily one of my fav reactors,, love your vids homie

[@rosesfeel485]

Actually the most popular BT21 character ended up being Tata. Taehyung’s uniqueness really ended up winning everyone over

[@hannyoongi]

I saw a lot of people say it's RJ. Even sellers say RJ was always sold out. We don't know the truth tho as we don't have the official sales from the company.

[@gudly8]

Yes.. TATA sells out like crazy. It gets four shelves when the others get one.. and still ends up selling out the fastest.

[@fldkst]

seeing you react to these with us is just so wholesome. please keep making more videos! (especially with the cutest doggo ever, the one and only mochi!)

[@piercetheskye_4508]

Yay thank you for reacting to the rest! You manage to make so much content so fast 🌸

[@helenvane]

In Korean, the alphabet used for the "R" and the "L" sounds, is the same;ㄹ. Those two sounds aren't pronounced the way they are in English (R's aren't rolled like in English, L's are a lot sharper too), so it's difficult to romanize it in a way that's accurate. Seokjin was pronouncing alpaca as a combination of "al-paca" and "ar-paka". Initially, when he chose the name, he didn't say, "RJ", he said something that was a combination of "al-jay" and "ar-jay". That's why the designer was a bit confused. They later stylized it as "RJ" for convenience. Fun fact: 진 is how "Jin" is written in Korean, and if you tilt your head to the left and look at it, it reads "RJ" :) 8:22 hopw that clears it up.

[@BansheePurple]

Can't wait for the BT21 Universe 2 reaction! is so funny

[@kabazinga]

29:32 there are videos cartoons etc on youtube, and more bt21 series of bts further developing the story and watching the animations

[@iluvart1482]

Bro I also went to the store in new york before knowing bts and was like holy shit when i figured it out

[@QueensThief76455]

I have really enjoyed watching these with you. Thank you and I look forward to Universe 2 eps!

[@TinyWolfxx]

Yaaayyy I was waiting for this. These are my favorite episodes from the series. The reveals!

[@mishka0613]

BT21 is so successful. Seriously there are people who are fans just of bt21. And now you have releases made only in some places like bt21 Japan or Taiwan have different products from BT21 Korea. Not to mention the collaboration deals bt21 gets like currently in my country there's a Collab of bt21 with a big local clothing brand, there's also a Collab with nationwide local bakery for bt21 themed cakes. There's a Collab with ChaTime the milk tea place, and another Collab with a shampoo brand with a free bt21 pouch for the purchase. I've seen other countries have a variety of other collabs too with their local brands. Then if you think about it, BTS also has Tiny Tan, who is also independent in a way because tiny tans had collaborations with Downy with ads as well as some beverage lately. It's so interesting. Btw check out the bt21 Kiehl's ASMR video for fun 🤣

[@minamiyoonji8699]

pls watch the next part *BT21 Universe 2* thank you

[@jnne4048]

you have to watch them react to the short films that were created for each of their characters

[@hikarireinsha1263]

BT21 ends up as an animation series!!! It's super cute and bts themselves brainstormed the storyline and everything in BT21 Universe 2&3. You can react to that one next

[@sarie2635]

since im a bt21 lover ill expand more on them...it became such a huge thing thats honestly stand alone from bts from sections of line stores being dedicated to bt21 to having permanent physical stores all over the world (they distribute some basic items to hmvs in the uk and i know in the us you can get some stuff in hot topic as well), there is a bt21 mobile game, literally anything you can imagine as merch with these characters (the pyjamas, mechanical keyboards, covers for golf clubs, air purifying posters like what ???) bts go on to make back stories for all of them and create families for each character. they tried to do like an evil version of bt21 which was the only fail id say cause they stopped focusing on them after a while, there is baby bt21 which is even cuter (hard to imagine but trust me)..they do seasonal plushies for christmas, halloween, winter, summer...there is an short animated series, they did a collab with baby shark and made a remix...like this is marketing madness to me also fun fact jin made line friends make him a life sized RJ figurine (like that thing is as tall as him) when you watch run ep or bon voayage or anything you can look for bt21 items cause they do use them a bunch in these..especially jin he is truly an rj lover that thing goes with him on tour, everywhere lol...sory i dont use commas

[@serenity3209]

Thank you for this, so excited for you to watch the BT21 story💜

you have to watch teh BTS reacts to BT21 when it debuts its on youtube

If you are gonna react to Run BTS ep. 97-98 Pajama Party you'll see how they play with their kids (BT21).. they looked like children in preschool.. hoping to see your reaction to their BT21 series..

Tata is always the first one to sold out here in our city.. so hard to get your hands on them...

There's also a storyline within BT21 Universe, you can check out the BT21 Universe 2 Compilation then BTS also reacted to it. The animation is really on point!! I hope you'll check it out!!

[@rayxell6025]

I like chimmy the most and his background story is pretty sad

[@MTetzke]

I so wish I had the cash to get all of the pillows! Perhaps I will start with one and get another every few months? I thought they were so cute when I first saw them too. Like you , after I learned the story behind them they became even more amazing. I thank Line Friends for partnering with BTS in this collaboration. I really want the PJ's to come in plus sizes. Please?!?!? Prayers, strength, love to you all. 🙏💪💜

[@diahsworld3645]

U need to watch BT21 universe. Their stories are touching

[@dianaaverina]

Alpaca in korean is not start with r but the korean character or l which is ㄹ can be pronounced as r too Basicly the consonant ㄹ = r/l

[@AngelaDiazCarmona]

Please do part 3 with presentation video of the life history ich one!

[@emilygp3083]

in the run episode where the boys were acting, many were with bt21 dolls and pillows, i don't know if you noticed

[@lisanelson1522]

Nice! There are more episodes as they develop a story.

You should watch their animated series and the behind the scenes to their storyline too!
