SUGA is a definition of true artist. He is such a genius producer and songwriter, who likes to experiment with music, that's why he is so versatile. K-media named him Hand of Midas, Unrivaled producer, King of the music industry. He makes number one hits in absolutely different genres, he created music in r&b, pop, alternative rock, hip hop, pop rock. He said he is working on acoustic songs these days. He is not afraid to try new things, like singing or guitar and he is thinking to learn how to play drums as well. He is an all-rounded musician and since the beginning of his career has piano, keyboard, synthesizer credits across many songs, which are well-known and loved by fans. I'm sure some day in the future we will see his name credited for guitar too. The amount of love he has for music is on another level. He even has a song, which is dedicated to music and it is called "First love"

27:45 "they count the baby in the belly?" Yes, that why when the baby is born, their age is automatically 1 y/o. And their age will added on new year, not on their birth's month.

[@kidmenlee1214]

yesss finally someone said it. but i would say its how a person personally wants to count their age, whether they go for counting by year or counting by birthday. like for example, someone can ask me whats my age this year now, i would say im 19 and that is true bcs my birthday is 17 april and its way past that already (this is going by birthday). but what if someone asked me that somewhere in january, if im lazy i would say im 19 (this is going by year), but if i'd like to elaborate, i would say im 18 and turning 19 in april. its 2021 and to us technically jin is 28 bcs his birthday hasnt actually arrived yet and he hasnt *officially* turned 29. so to ppl who counts by birthday, he is still 28 and will turn 29 on Dec 4th but its korea and they +1 to their age. so in BTS contents, BTS will tease him that he is 30 but he will be like 'hey im still 29, my birthday hasnt arrived yet'. just like op said, the moment theyre born, they are 1 year old. for us, after we are born, we'll be 3months old, 5 months old etc, but in korea, they'll be 1year and 3months, 1year and 5months etc instead

Make sense or non sense, that is korean tradition rules to count their age, it kinda be rude if we judge their own tradition n rules with said "that make no sense" n laugh it coz is their culture that applied for their own people n in their own country Every country has their own culture, tradition n rules, we need to respect it

Whole SUGA's existence revolves around music. He has been rapping and producing since 13 years old. When he had multiple part-time jobs he was working at record studio and was giving MIDI lessons. He was playing piano since very young age. When they've been asked what they would do without BTS and other members give answers about different jobs, SUGA is always consistent about his answer and says that he would be producer and songwriter even without BTS. Of course he has many different interests like electronics and music equipment, architecture and interior design, painting, ecomonics, psychology and psychoanalysis, piano, guitar, basketball. But his biggest passion is and always will be music. As Jin said "our SUGA, he’s a friend who has an immense passion for music. To the point i wonder if he didn’t become a singer or songwriter/producer, what would he be? Everything surrounding him -hobbies, personal life - is all tuned around music. He’s someone that makes me think: “he looks amazing as a singer, as someone who makes songs.”

He has currently seven: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJi3qH2HZ6iIp6s. I recommend watching them in order (starting with GCF in Tokyo and ending with GCF in Helsinki). His first one was taken during a private trip with fellow band mate Jimin during a break (side-note: it's actually the only overseas trip outside of work that JK has ever been on without family), others have been taken during either tour or during overseas photoshoots. Just to give you a little extra information. My favourite ones are his very last one (taken during winter photoshoots in 2019) and his first one (that really shows glimpses of Jimin in his true element; since he didn't know JK would make a GCF after filming during the trip).

SUGA was already an established producer before joining BTS. Right now he is respected producer, who won many awards and worked with many artists. One of the songs which he produced for other artist even made it on Top 100 Songs of the Decade. He is also the most credited as producer out of all BTS members. However he is not only genius producer, but genius songwriter as well. He was the first member of BTS who became full member of KOMCA, he is credited as songwriter and composer in 124 songs, all members agree that SUGA is musical backbone of BTS. For example, J-Hope said "SUGA offers great strength musically. Without him, the center of BTS’ music would crumble away". But what is mostly important is that lyrics he writes are very relatable and deep, they helped many people. His music is very introspective but it makes listeners reflect on their own life. His music brings comfort and hope

[@vanessaserneels4798]

Yoongi (Suga) indeed has a strong connection with music and producing. He has collabed with and produced for a bunch of other artists. Mostly Korean, but he even collabed solo with Halsey which is huge. However, he isn't the only one within BTS who produces for others :) Just wanted to let you know in case you wanted to know! I know there's often a lot of accidental misinformation in this fandom, so it's really easy to miss out on information. So don't feel bad. It's always nice to learn more about BTS. Both RM and J-hope have also produced for others outside of BTS. J-hope produced at least for one artist predebut and RM produced at least 8 times for others. You can find the songs on Google. Maybe it's even more since I last counted. He did recently produce for TXT I think? I believe Yoongi has produced at least six times outside of BTS, but it is definitely possible it's more and that he has done the most producing with outsider artists. Both he and RM are definitely known as 'the' producers of the group. Although I do want to add that a lot of BTS members try their hand at producing within BTS since their debut years. They do an awesome job at it too in their own way (I absolutely love Jungkook's produced songs like 'Film Out' or Magic Shop' or 'Friends' which was produced by JM). To me, it's just so nice to see they are involved within their own songs.

None of the members produced song for other artist, except for SUGA, and RM is definitely not known as 'the' producer, he said multiple times that he is not very much into producing and finds it difficult to produce a song. He produced overall 10 amazing songs at this moment - songs for BTS and for himself. And there is nothing wrong with that, he is enjoying songwriting process more. SUGA on another hand was already an established producer before BTS and joined them as producer actually. SUGA is credited as producer in 40-50 songs, wins awards as producer and produces for other artists. And he is the only member who does it. Of course it can change in the future

[@anaisc8733]

The 7 members by Ida.S is more precise and truthful on many points, this one gives some stereotypes and false information about the members. But it's a good reaction. I don't know if in the future you will be more interested in the production aspect of BTS, which suits me because it is your passion, or if you took a genuine interest not only in their music and production but also on the members themselves (if this is the case and you want to know more about the members, I recommend you the series Rise of Bangtan on YT which has so far 12 chapters but the following episodes are coming little by little, or xCeleste intro videos which showcase their hardships - uptade 2021 -, an intro to BTS as a whole and even an intro to Army. There is also Crash Course 2020, which reveals a bit of the why of their success and gives indications as to their music). Finally, I prefer that you do not feel forced to take an interest in the group because of the people but really by a real curiosity and genuine desire to get to know them, because the production videos are very satisfying for us Armys who do not necessarily have any knowledge on the subject, so don't feel like you have to do more than you already do.

I think you should react to an introduction to 7 members of bts (2021 update) by Ida s and the most beautiful life goes on a story of bts and I think this is the end of the introduction to bts💖

The “Big 3” are the top 3 labels of Korea prior to BTS’s huge success. They include SM, JYP, and YG.

[@shaniah109]

probably unrelated but, fun fact: There will actually be a tv series that is about BU and it's title is 'Youth'. It's not acted by bts though. I don't know when exactly the airing is, but I am sure it will be this year.

In Korea - the day you are born you are 1 year old. Then every new years day you are considered 1 year older. Eg: JK born 1/9/97 was 1yo then on 1/1/98 he was 2 yo in Korean age but still 0yo in International age - so when he says he was 15 - he was actually 13 in international age..... hope that helps??

[@somethinggreatishappening8536]

Suga is really, really sweet and soft-hearted. He's just quiet and introverted, so people often misunderstand. Pro tip: You can always tell whether BTS likes an interview (or the interviewer) by how much Suga talks during the interview.

[@Siennaflower]

I've been busy learning BTS's history for the last 6 months, and one thing I've realized is that you always have to notice when a clip happened on their timeline, because they have changed a lot and gone through quite a journey over 8+ years. Once you get more familiar with them, you begin to recognize certain clips from when they were younger. The clip of Jimin saying he couldn't sing well was from early on, and it's fun to see how the things that were like pipe dreams when they started out became reality over time.

[@dandelion6862]

Now RM & Suga hold 2nd(tie with PSY) and 10th position respectively in Komca.

[@parkdojin-myalpha500]

Don't worry.. After coming into the fandom, many people 's memory has become better!

[@_ace_97]

18:41 yes..BTS always upload a video of them reacting to their own MV for the first time when it got release..even the recent MVs Butter and Permission to dance got BTS reaction video..

[@sampada4346]

This video is three years old and bts have grown so much as an individual and as a group after this video. And it has some misinformation about some members as well(not much but some). It would have been better if you had checked the recent video but its fine. Atleast you learned something.

[@taetae4ever502]

Am I the only one who was really happy he took his time and made sure to read everything and understand what the subtitles said?

[@bantang_world3932]

When I started standing them. I had flash card with there names. I did my research and I ended up loving the messages they give in all there music. Their music It help me a lot. But it was hard to recognize and know there names. 💜💜💜

[@Indecisive_Action]

Yeah, when he said that (kind of jokingly), I didn't think it was a bad idea! I don't expect every person to binge BTS clips (although I do enjoy it when people develop an interest in them as creators and people), so some kind of 'cheat sheet' could be useful. People have different ways of learning, so if it would help him, I certainly wouldn't fault him for it!

[@karamfaiz1324]

Yes you can see actual BTS reacting to their musci videis for first time... Cuz most if them go for filming alone if its not a group part... And also sometines they see it just before the final cut.. So like when everything is done they do a reaction to the finished MV.. Just like us 😂 pretty cool...i think BlackPink also does it.. Idk about other kpop grps cuz blackpink and BTS are the only ones i watch

[@Jana-sw1vn]

The big three are the biggest companies producing groups in Korea, and all successful Kpop groups came from them. BTS was the first to not come from one of these companies and make it this big.

[@sydneydefreitas5157]

yeah, RM went live like 2-3 days ago. But because of the huge time differences, they tend to go live at like 5-6pm in Korea, which is around 4-5am in America (eastern time). So, you have to be really lucky as an American fan to witness when they go live, which they do randomly.

[@somethinggreatishappening8536]

I think the more you watch their "casual content" (content not related to music videos), the more you'll be able to accurately name them because you'll start to recognize a) their facial expressions, b) the little habits they all have, c) their voices and much, much more (even their gait) that is difficult to just pick up from music videos. You'll notice it in their music videos once you know what it is, though.

[@ms.anonyma2325]

They have mainstream rap in Korea but just like in the US, there’s an underground scene as well for people like SoundCloud rappers and things like that where there’s showcases and competitions.

[@nekoneko2461]

the big 3 is the biggest entertainment companies in korea. SM Entertainment, YG Entertainment, and JYP Entertainment. Its not just one group. Bighit Entertainment (now HYBE) which is BTS company was a really small agency back then. So it was more shocking. Smaller agencies doesnt really get big awards in award shows because of these 3 companies, but BTS broke that. Since they won Artist of the year in 2016, they havent lost that title and its 2021 now.

This song here 12:47, it's his song "the last". I strongly recommend listening to it, I mean in your free time, not in a video. As someone who struggles with depression and anxiety that song just broke my heart. I can't even listen to it two times in a row...

[@rumaisasadia3160]

[@진심-i5y]

I really like how you get to know the members one by one. They make songs with their own stories, so I think the process of understanding themselves is necessary to understand their songs. And as you get to know them, I'm sure you'll find them more interesting and moving. I really enjoyed the reaction video. I'll look forward to your next bts reaction video!

[@ishtar990]

Some basic information which maybe of help; 1. Early Hip Hop was seperate you had underground rappers and idol rappers, underground rappers thought the idol rappers were lacking and not real rappers and the underground rappers were intimidating etc. So there was a clash. This changed around the time Jay Park (ex Idol) created AOMG and lessened the distance between underground and idol rappers, they have some amazing rappers and the best music producers with that of Gray and Code Kunst. Most recently they even signed Yugyeom (ex Got7) member who is currently doing album promotions. 2. This was a time around the 3 big agencies SM, JYP & YG got most of the attention, smaller groups did not get a look in including BTS, they were considered trash right out the bat. 3. BTS have had conflicts in the group, one conflict like on tour in the clip you saw was of Jin & V in conflict. So like everyone they do tend to clash here and there. 4. The 'Sope Me" is a take off from their labelmates group called 'Homme", Lee Hyun is still a member of Big Hit, does solo work as well as other behind the scenes work, one recently was acting as a manager running after BTS with water etc, was funny and showing people around Big Hit building. 5. The clip of Jhope being a strict dance teacher is a bit misleading back in early BTS, both RM & Jin were not strong dancers, they took a while to learn choreo, so Jin liked to also reinforce the dance moves with other members mostly Jhope or Jimin. 6. Idols are the best pool of people to draw for acting, alot of Kpop singers get into acting in some capacity in Korea. 7. Idols have their own olympics once a year called ISAC (Idol Star Athletic Championships), idol groups both boys and girls come and compete in various physical events, running, wrestling, archery, basketball etc.. 8. It is deeply disrespectful in korea if you do not respect your elders, even in BTS Jin is the eldest and RM is the leader so there is a line between personal and professional that Jin does not use the oldest card and RM respects his position. The maknae's in some groups can get mistreated easily as they are the youngest, in alot of groups especially BTS the maknae's run riot as they are the cutest and most looked after like babies in the group. 9. Alot of kpop groups are now well known on music charts outside korea but this was not the case early days. BTS is the biggest male group known and from my understanding Blackpink is the biggest female group.

[@donnamartinez6201]

Loved your reaction. the only issue I have with the video of "Who is BTS" is that the person did not highlight Jimin's vocal & dancing solo performance of one of his own songs, (i.e. Serendipity), but rather chose a cover song, that BTS covered as a group. Jimin is a main dancer of the group, but this too wasn't listed as part of his profile. The person also left out Jimin's interests/achievements, i.e.: blackbelt in Taekwondo, and other martial arts. Also, while touching on his vocals, there weren't many "examples." I was, however, very happy to hear that you already know that Jimin's vocals are noteworthy. The other person who I feel was short shifted was Jin. He overcame a lot of obstacles having to start from scratch, not having any experience singing or dancing. Jin's vocals are awesome, yet there weren't many examples. He worked EXTREMELY hard to learn how to dance and learning choreography; he would practice while other members slept. The other members' profile give a more well-rounded perspective of who they are. I just see that there is some bias in this particular video of who the members are and it makes me sad. I know this has nothing to do with your reaction, and I'm sorry this has turned into a rant about the video you are reacting to... I love your reactions and look forward to each & every one.

[@pjm08]

they do have conflict sometimes as they mentioned in carpool karaoke with James Corden. "We used to have conflict but we don't anymore" said Suga but that doesn't mean there isn't any at the moment. Due to everything going on right now through fandoms, I'm sure they have some kind of conflict in between but that's what makes their bond so special. They make sure not to push it too far, knowing they're one of the biggest bands (but THE biggest)

[@rashmitabisoe3037]

[@ankitasengupta3689]

Hi! Thank you for the video! I would, however, like to add that since this introduction video came out, all the members have participated as producers, songwriters, composers in either their group works, solos, or SoundCloud solos. In that respect, the tags this video uses are VERY VERY limited and not updated. I hope you watch some recent videos for that someday! 1) "Writing styles of BTS" by Mera, 2) "The most beautiful life goes on" by Asian Theory 3) any xCeleste introductory video or journey video, really -- definitely the recent ones. are some nice examples! Secondly, from the clips, I think this covers until the early LY era, and while it does a decent job of avoiding some stereotypes, it does not stay away from all of them. If you ever feel inclined to understand the members' personalities beyond the necessity of your video series, I would highly recommend their official content like: 1) Run BTS (a BTS variety show created by BigHit which airs for free on Vlive) 2) Bangtan Bomb (behind the scenes random moments uploaded on their KZbin Channel BangtanTV), as well as their documentary series and movies: 3) Burn the stage (series) on KZbin, and it's movie 4) Bring the Soul 5) Break the Silence The latter two are available as series and movies too. 6) In the Soop series on Weverse app. These will surely allow you to see them and form your own impressions, not through the lens of other fans or video creators. I love your reactions. Have a great day!!

The “big 3” are actually entertainment companies which manage groups. The big three consists of SM entertainment, YG entertainment and JYP entertainment. Bts are from Bighit entertainment (now Hybe) which was actually a very small and insignificant company about 7-8 years ago, until BTS gained attention and brought Bighit into the major managing business.

[@Smeraldo-ov9bn]

BIG 3 companies- YG entertainment [eg of artists from YG- Blackpink, BigBang, etc], JYP entertainment [Stray Kids, ITZY, Twice, etc], SM entertainment [EXO, NCT, Shinee, etc]

[@lunophile]

big3 were the biggest entertainment companies in korea, BTS being an unprivileged group that debuted from a very small company was very surprising to many people. also wanted to add that all the members are songwriters, producers and composers.

[@alyssa8167]

What's done is done and I kinda get why you would watch the one with most views, but I think it would have been best to watch a newer one (updated information), like one made months ago rather than 3 years ago like this one 🙈 Edit: with updated info I mean things like RM's studio name (now Rkive) and how the members all participate in songwriting which I don't think was that clear in this video.

[@fayrelux6108]

Big 3 were the three most powerful entertainment companies,YG,JYP,SM (although gotta say bts’s company is bigger than all of them now), people used to say that any group that comes from those 3 was bound to be successful, because they had a lot of control over media and got a lot of promo, that’s why a lot people were surprised when bts, whose company was small in comparison at that time, became successful and surpassed them

[@trxdh]

31:25 the "big 3" refers to the biggest entertainment companies (at the time); YG Entertainment, SM Entertainment and JYP Entertainment. of course now Big Hit/HYBE is also one of the top companies.
