FIRST TIME HEARING BTS "MIC DROP" (STEVE AOKI REMIX) OFFICIAL MV

[@somolmean3980]

Lol. Chief…..you have no idea what you stumbled upon. I’m a 47 year old male , husband, and father of two. My 12 year old daughter got me into BTS about 1 year ago. These dudes are for real. Each one of them can thrive alone but they chose not to. They understand that together, they can achieve more. They bring in to South Korea $3.6 billion dollars annually. They are the biggest and best group in our era. Yet, they are the most humble, down to earth group. They always give back to their fans. 💯 💜💜💜

They do about every genre of music so everybody can find something to like if they just give them a chance. Their songs have deep meanings and they tackle subjects like mental illness that other folks won't touch. They are one of a kind. Never has been anyone like them and never will be again. Other folks on here have named some songs to check out so I won't repeat them. Do agree you should check out their performance of Run BTS at Busan concert. Also one of my favorites is Baepsae which deals with young people expected to keep up with impossible expectations. I must warn you once you fall down the BTS rabbit hole there will be no escape.

[@angelonyourshoulder]

Well said Connie. Thank you for representing Army so well. BTS songs address so many issues we face today. I agree 100 percent that Bapsae is an incredible song, so powerful and unashamedly unapologetic. Mic Drop, Dynamite, and Butter got my attention. Bapsae, Stigma, Spring Day, and Epiphany made me a lifetime fan and member of Army. I cannot watch Spring Day without feeling profound loss and longing. Bapsae and Stigma are two sides of the same coin: the shame one feels when they have failed or hurt others. Bapsae talks about the silver spoons who have made it impossible for the younger generations to achieve their dreams, and Stigma talks about the secrets we keep and how those secrets can destroy the ones we love. Ephiphany brings you hope and teaches you the lesson that you cannot let yourself be miserable for the love of another. The lyrics specifically say "I'm the one I should love in this world" and that, in my opinion, is one of the best messages for self love that I have ever heard. Mr. Boshido Brown, I hope you give BTS a chance. This group of young men - 7 beautiful Koreans - who had the courage to be vulnerable and teach us how to forgive and love ourselves, they have been a shinning beacon of light in a depressing, unpredictable world. Yes, their songs take down haters without remorse using skilled lyricism and crafty phrases, but their songs are also about forgiveness, respect, and love, especially for Armys.

[@rina000z]

I'm no little girl chasing BTS. I'm a 50-year-old who has been ARMY (BTS Fandom Name) Since 2017. Mic drop was the first song to introduce me to BTS, That moment on they have become my forever ARTIST! Majority of BTS ARMY are over 25 all the way up to 80 years old that I have seen, younger than 25 are the minority. If you dive more into BTS I hope you will begin to understand why BTS are loved. They are 7 amazing, talented, genuine and humble guys who are unbelievably more amazing in their live performances. Yes, they sing, rap and dance and better yet all at the same time. They are involved in producing and writing in the majority of their songs. They have over 300+ songs in their discography not including dance practices, if you love the dancing and many live performances and online concerts. Their genres include: Hip hop, R&B, Ballads, Soft Rock, EDM, Latin, Pop, Funk, Trap, Country, Dubstep and more. Will subscribe in hopes of you checking out more BTS. Enjoyed your reaction had me chuckling at times 😆Thank you for checking out the boys. 💜

as a male fan,it's sometimes hard to make people realize that l don't listen to "girly" songs since l am a bts fan.Bts has songs of every genres and their hip hop songs are gold.Their lyrics are different from western artists and l have never heard them making meaningless music.Every song has a meaning and thats what attracts me the most.If a song is good,you will listen to it but if the meaning is good,it will touch your heart and make you more emotionally connected.Poeple really misunderstand them all the time.I can definitely say that they are the most controversial boyband of the time,they are the most loved but at the same time most hated group too.And it hurts when the hate only comes from prejudices that sometimes borders on racism.Good to see that you gave them a try.I don't want people to become bts fans overnight,but it would've been better if people respected them for their hard work and didn't judge their fans either

Absolutely at their best performing before a full on, enthusiastic audience. I have seen them live twice and they are AMAZING in-person. The energy generated between the 7 guys and a sixty-to-eighty thousand strong ARMY audience is something you just have to be there to believe it.

I'm 57, I discovered BTS by accident and curiosity got me to listen to more, Captions on, from there I was lost. They are fantastic musicians, they can sing, rap & dance, they often write their own lyrics and are often involved in the production. Their lyrics, often focus on personal and social commentary, touch on the themes of mental health, troubles of school-age youth and coming of age, loss, the journey towards loving oneself, and individualism. Their work also often references literature and psychological concepts and includes an alternative universe storyline. "BTS," actually stands for the words, "Bangtan Sonyeondan," which translates to mean "Bulletproof Boy Scouts." 'Bangtan’ means to be resistant to bullets, so it means to block out stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations that aim on adolescents like bullets, to preserve the values and ideal of today’s adolescents," They started out as a HipHop group in 2013, (they have 3 rappers, 2 of which were from the Korean underground rap scene & 4 Vocalists) but actually cover so many genres of music in addition to HipHop, invluding Pop, EDM, Rap, RnB, Rock, Urban, Trap, Ballads... they say not everyone will like all BTS songs, but there is a BTS song for everyone. For anyone willing to find out more I recommend taking a look at what they have to offer and suggest the following: Butter (All English) Dope Fire Danger DNA Idol Blood Sweat and Tears On Kinetic Manifesto prima Black Swan Fake Love Not Today Save Me Truth Untold Spring Day (which has spent 5 consecutive years in Goan's Digital Chart's) Your Eyes Tell The Cyphers if you like rap Then solo works: Jungkook - Euphoria, My Time V - Singularity, Stigma (live version), Sweet Night (the first and only song in history to top 119 countries on the worldwide iTunes chart) Suga's alter ego Agust D - Daewitcha, Agust D, The Last, Shadow RM - Persona, Joke, Do You J-Hope - Boy Meets Evil, More, Arson Jin - Epiphany, Abyss Jimin - Serendipity, Filter

Your reaction genuinely cracked me up. Its so fun to watch that "Ah-ha" moment people get when they see how wrong their pre-conceived notions were about this group. These guys are all around great and the fans are all ages, races and backgrounds. I am 51 year old wife, mother of 2, pharmacist living in Tennessee lol...see, this group can really reach all kinds of people everywhere. I was introduced to them by my daughter who was 11 or 12 at the time (14 now) and I have been a die-hard ARMY (the name of their fandom, btw) ever since. The guy you wanted to know the name of that came out of the back of that truck was RM, he's the official leader of the group (which has nothing to do with their role in the music but more to do with his role in speaking on behalf of the group to the company and vice versa, keeping things going as they should, he is fluent in English so tends to do a lot of the English interviews and things like that). They all participate equally and are equally talented in terms of the music. There are 3 rappers: (RM, the one you asked about, Suga, the 2nd guy that rapped in this song, and J-hope the rapper that started out the song. And there are 4 vocalists: JK, V, Jimin, and Jin. The vocalists came in mostly on the chorus sections in this particular song. This group is one that has no genre they really do it all: rap, hip/hop, soul, ballads, pop, funk, you name it really and they likely have something in that lane. They are all excellent dancers and do so in many styles of dance as well. Most of their music has EXTREMELY hard choreographed dances that go with them which gives another layer of entertainment watching their content. All three of the rappers have solo albums that you could check out if you're more into rap but their group songs have a perfect blend of rap and vocals in most all of their songs and I think you will really enjoy diving deeper into their music. I enjoyed your reaction and look forward to seeing you react to more of their music. If you do, I'll be here for it. Thanks for giving them a chance despite your initial hesitation.

[@christinakhatib1086]

Yaaaas! I love it!!

[@ycp890]

Great explanation.😊 Though I would have to say, RM being a leader, does have something to do with the music as well. I believe he (with the members' input of course) has a big role in setting the concept and theme of their albums and the direction of their music. Incorporating themes taken from Yung's (and Murray's) Map of the Soul and Hermann Hesse's Damien, I believe, was RM's idea as he was the one who read the books and you can see from press conferences how he explains his journey/process from reading the books to germinating them into album concepts. This role most likely wasn't imposed on him but I think he probably took it on naturally.

[@ericweinman9447]

As a 65 year old ARMY I will say taking Korean Popular music and boxing it as another race doing hip hop is an unknowing simplification. K Pop involves many genres with the addition of quite a few visual elements. BTS work for instance can involve ballads, pop, EDM, neo-soul, Latin music, rock, Korean folk sounds and instrumentation, and more. This is in addition to hip hop and straight rap. As much as Western sounds strongly influence how Koreans choose to create their music, denying its authenticity by subsuming it into just being an extension of a Western genre probably speaks more to your background than that of the music you are adjudging. Total props to you for engaging K Pop. I hope your journey provides insights and rewards. Just recognize you come to the table with your lifetime of insights which may have been honed on Western music. If you do, you may be more open to new ways of understanding an unfamiliar culture.

There is a reason why BTS is the biggest group in the world. They are even more incredible live. If you want to see how they perform on stage with all these dance moves I’m sending links to a couple of performances from their concerts. The first one is for Mic Drop in the Wembley Stadium, London in 2019. The other is for the song called Run BTS performed very recently, last week, in Busan, South Korea. Run BTS talks about their journey, their career in the last 10 years. The last rapper mentions the names of the 7 members thanking them for all their hard work and to be ready to continue this journey for a long time.

[@Mehm12]

Mic Drop: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naLbfXqCiM6VjsU Run BTS: kzbin.info/www/bejne/faKueptna7CKbq8 To add, BTS stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan, Korean for Bulletproof Boyscouts. They are usually called Bangtan, meaning bulletproof, so when you see that word in the song, they are referring to themselves.

RM really does sound like that. Smooth deep voice that raps effortlessly in both english and korean. Even in Japanese sometimes as he can speak that well too. His english has a clear american accent because he learned to speak it through watching the friends tv show. I am glad you recognised that you have been misjudging them once you gave them a listen. They are really quite outstanding in all genres of music tho their roots were in rap and hiphop originally. They do sing the odd sterotypical boyband type songs but the vast majority of their tunes have many layers and meanings and are not just simple love type songs. I am sure you'll have been told by now Army their fans range in age from 0-99 yrs old. I myself am a 54yr old metalhead/punk gal and I've never seen a group as versatile as they are!

47 year old BTS ARMY (the name of their fans) here! They have such a WIDE range to their music, it's unreal. There are over 300 songs in their catalog, plus solo songs from all the members... you're sure to find plenty that you like. The young gentleman that blew out the back of the van is Kim Namjoon, aka RM, he is the leader of BTS. He started as an underground rapper. His solo work is phenomenal! Joke, Do You, and God Rap are my personal favorites. The other members of the rap line are (1st in the video) Jung Hoseok aka J-Hope, and (2nd in the video) Min Yoongi, aka Suga, aka AgustD. Arson and Hangsang are two to check from J-Hope, and then Daechwita, Give It to Me and AgustD from Suga as AgustD. The others are Kim Seokjin aka Jin, Kim Taehyung aka V, Park Jimin, and Jeon Jungkook. They are the group's vocal line, though Jungkook did rap on a few of their early songs. These young gentlemen have an incredible message in their music, and have changed the lives of millions around the world, mine included. They pulled me out of a very dark and bitter place... and I haven't looked back. Their most recent performance in the city of Busan, which was free to attend and stream, filled a stadium, and crashed the servers of 3 different streaming platforms because 50 MILLION people logged in from across the globe. They, along with their fans, are a force of nature. Just as an example, a few years ago the group quietly donated a million dollars to Black Lives Matter... they didn't want it broadcast in order to keep the focus on the movement. Someone leaked it though, and within 24 hours ARMY from around the world matched their donation. It's just one of multiple causes that the group believes in and contributes to. We won't even start on the charity and community work that ARMY do in the name of BTS...scholarships, animal rescue, environmental projects, the list is endless. Leave your ideas about BTS behind, because they will prove all of them wrong at every turn. Welcome to the Bangtan Sonyeondan (what BTS stands for, Bulletproof Boyscouts) rabbit hole, sir. You'll meet some really great folks.

[@sandymartinez5434]

BTS’ fandom named ARMY is all ages not just young girls. I’m 70 years old and I came across BTS fall of 2015. These guys are so talented, their dancing amazing, they write and produce some of their music and are known around the world. And to BTS’ created they are the kindness and humblest performers out there. They have brought me so much joy! Hope you get inspired to continue learning about them and their music. You won’t be sorry!

[@TheMamamarieke]

They are surprising, aren’t they? Up until a bit over a year ago I dismissed them as just some boy band, too. “I’m 50 years old. What do I need with a boy band?” I kept seeing their name come up, though, so I finally listened. It’s going to sound cheesy as hell but my life was truly changed. The first song was fun, the next one was “ooh, these dudes can dance”, then more songs: “damn, these lyrics, though” “dude, how many genres can one band even do?” “holy $hit, they are even better LIVE?” Once I got a little ways in I wanted to know more about them and their come up. That was when the rabbit hole sucked me in for good. Learning their back story and their personalities gave me 100x more respect for them than I already had, and I was already super impressed. Check some more out. I promise it’s worth it. Personal recommendations: ON (Kinetic Manifesto Film), Black Swan, DNA. Those 3 on top of the one you just watched will give you a little taste of their range, both their music and their dancing. These boys are kind of next level. Make sure you keep captions on. Or, better yet, watch it once without captions and then watch it again for the lyrics. Trust me, we’ll watch the whole thing.

[@pennypokey]

I'm in the 50 club with you! 💜 I 2nd ALL of what you say PLUS they have a variety show that is so fun to watch! They are 7 normal dudes who get tired, get hungry, take each others things, prank each other & just make the best of whatever situation they face!!! They deserve the best because they are truly the BEST ever! As they say ....the best is yet to come!!! 💜

Same here, 55 year old married, mom with a career and I found these guys with my daughter in 2017 and I am so amazed with their character, integrity, talents, and hard work. The industry is a fascinating business model.

[@lauriemontijo]

I love that you outlined your journey to date. I hope it helps other skeptics take a chance and get introduced to the phenomenon of BTS. Thank you for sharing.

[@lauriemontijo]

@@pennypokey Yep, all true. Thank you for sharing that information to other ARMYS who may not be aware of that yet.

[@UiU24]

first of all, thanks for the reaction we appreciate that

[@colettemr]

I love it when people actually DISCOVER BTS and see why they are WORLD WIDE SUPER STARS!!! They Dance, Sing, Rap, Entertain, and grab your attention with their message and substance. Welcome to the ARMY bro! I am 53yrs old and first saw them on the Award show performing and I was like...how many is it? I was confused I thought there was like 3-4 and the others were background dancers. WRONG! This is the difference in KPOP because they actually have TONS of MEMBERS and work HARD at synchronicity, singing and dancing. They have BOOTCAMPS in training from 2-10yrs before even debuting unlike America where we get a group of folks who can sing/dance together and call it a group. Its like Making the Band but on 10k. LOL

[@kendramurphy9178]

51 yr old Army! Heard them 6 years ago. I listen to different genres of music but I absolutely love them! As a group and individually, they are amazing!

[@kendramurphy9178]

I know this was posted a yr ago but you should really check out the new stuff they've put out. Their personalities are different in their solo music.

[@robertenck2423]

This is the song that made me an instant fan. And I never get tired of hearing it, or seeing people discover BTS through this song. Apart from being insanely good performers & musical artists, they are wonderful human beings.

[@n-silvabts9178]

I'm turning 49, teacher, an adult son, graduated in tourism and literature. I've been a huge bts fan since 2013. No regrets so far, just proud of them.

[@a2g2u2s.t.d]

😆 RM always gets that reaction in this song. He comes in HARD and you can't miss it. They do got plenty of little girls chasing em, but also some 40, 50, 60+ year olds (guys and gals!) as huge fans as well. They're only a "boy band" in the sense that they're boys in a band together. If you want to see em dance, you can check out the dance practice video to this song. Its got lots of dance breaks. Plenty of other good suggestions already! Looking forward to seeing more. This was a cute reaction.

[@britanniadix5580]

Gotta admit, watching first time reactors response to RM is one of my favorite things to see. Followed by ARMY in the comments talking about how he got stuck ;)

[@caris13]

Hey no shame...I had same preconceived notion until I delved down the BTS rabbit hole only to discover just how talented and amazing they are. 💜

[@practicallypj]

[@debradollisson9551]

IAM currently 69 years old and found BTS in 2020 when I was in the deepest darkest hole of my life. They gave me hope and a feeling that it was not wrong to feel like I did. They gave me a reason to get back into life.

[@jackienewsome1322]

Astro did the same for me. All of these guys are awesome.

They always been caring and supporting same as army towards them, such angels😊❣️

[@chumbarrientos263]

This made me cry. Much love to you!

[@niecy2677]

Thank you for being open to checking out BTS. I am a 49 yr old black woman who really gave them a chance last yr. I heard of them before I opened my mind to checking them out. I didn't want to listen for fear of the language barrier. But why I listen to other music that I don't know what they are saying but love music. Becoming ARMY has been an eye opener since they do so many different genres of music. The love they have for their fans is unmatched and so sincere. Enjoy this journey into BTS.

[@mesmeric490]

I'm 21 now but I've been an ARMY since I was 14 years old. I love them with all my heart and they really helped me with my mental issues and got me through a lot of hard times. They built themselves up from the bottom and it's lovely to see more and more people recognizing their artistry

[@ackermanvee]

when i TELL YOU how much joy this reaction gave me.... okay, so maybe it WAS my teenaged daughters that got me into BTS - but it was the best thing to ever happen to me. I'm a 37 year old hiphop loving grown ass woman and BTS, especially their rap bangers, are always #1 on my list. You should know the guy you were blown away by, RM (kim namjoon) is the leader of the group and has written over 200 songs, including a majority of their own. Please if you havent already, listen to (Or better, yet, react to) their song Cypher pt 3 killer. You'll be a fan for life, my friend.

[@JeonJungkook-wr4yr]

Bts fans ages has no limits I'm 31 and been a fan since 2013 when they debuted they aren't just for kids and teens cause these guys have fans who are in there 70s to 80s.

[@rhiannonmessenger6416]

I'm 43 years old and grew up on artists like 2pac, Nas, and Biggie. It's been a while since I have enjoyed a group so much! If that's what you like I highly recommend the cyphers 1-4 and the live cypher medley. That's just the tip of the iceberg, they also have other songs such as outro tear, (which is godly!) ugh, and ddaeng. They're 7 men 3 rap line and 4 vocalists and they mix hip hop into a lot of their songs, but by far what made me appreciate them was Hip Hop Lover where you get an understanding of the artists that influenced them. The rapline each have solo mix tapes as well, if you enjoyed Wutang clan and ODB I recommend Jhopes song What if where he actually pays homage and uses a sample from then with remaining members of Wutang helping to write and produce. Edit the one with the swag is RM and I highly recommend you check out his song Monster!

[@neenaweible4748]

I'm a 70 year old woman and I've loved BTS for years. They are so talented and lovable.

[@MasriqDipto]

Namjoon is soo good, I love him badly. His new album #RightPlaceWrongPerson just wow

[@karenohalloran9105]

Like a lot of Army’s, I watch plenty of BTS reactions as I enjoy seeing people discover BTS. My fave thing is when BTS shatters whatever preconceived notion the Reactor has. The great thing about you is you owned the fact that you had misconceptions and didn’t hesitate to admit those were wrong. Misconceptions happen to most reactors but few move on as quickly as you did. Thank you for that & being open to BTS. A perfect introduction for newcomers to BTS is their BTS Room Live Festa 2021. It’s a medley of 7 song snippets with songs taken from their 2013-2020 discography. You get to see how they tackle (&nail) multiple genres. As others have said, BTS are next level when it comes to live performances. This one doesn’t have choreography and will allow you to focus on their rap & vocal abilities. Tip: it’s best to chose the BTS Room Live 2021 Festa from the Bangtan Subs channel as it has subtitles for the talking the band does in between songs as opposed to the video on the official BTS channel which only has subtitles for the lyrics. Otherwise, we’ll probably hear you say ‘Man, I wish I knew what they are saying!’

[@PurpleHannahPlays]

The one you keep stopping to listen over and over is my bias, RM. He's actually one of the most underappreciated so I'm ecstatic you noticed him like that. I loved this reaction video, and I love watching first timers be blown away. Welcome to what we call the BTS Rabbit Hole, is an amazing journey and welcome future 💜🅐🅡🅜🅨⁷⟬⟭💜

[@crystalsnow1138]

I'm telling you if people would just take away their preconceived notions about kpop and boy bands in general BTS would be even bigger than they already are. I know of fans well into their 70's because the messages in their music apply to people of all ages and backgrounds. BTS has over 300 songs covering a wide range of subject matter and genres so I will hope you will check out more of their music. BTS has to enlist in the military soon because military service is mandatory for 18-21 months in South Korea for all able bodied men, so right now they are all focusing on their solo work before they have to enlist, Jin who is 29 is the oldest and will start the process of enlisting after his solo called The Astronaut comes out on October 28th and he will perform it for the first time at Coldplay's concert in Argentina, the other members will probably enlist throughout 2023. But they have promised us they will be back in 2025 after their service.

I’m 76. I was in a deep depressing funk, feeling no joy, and nothing to look forward to. I discovered K-Dramas and BTS 3 years ago. These seven kids (young men) have worked unending days, months, and years, to bring the world their special, unique chemistry and music. They are a powerhouse, and I could go on forever about why they are so appealing. There will never be another group like them, and I still wish every day that I had been born in the 90’s, so I could follow them for many more years! 💜

[@virginia_the_elder]

RM: (originally Rap Monster but he matured). (Swag out of the van.) Came from underground rap. Solo work: “Joke”, “Forever Rain” Suga: (derived from Shooting Guard). Aka AGUST D. Came from underground rap. Originally recruited as a producer. Solo work “AgustD”, “Daechwita” J-Hope: Came from street dancing. Became rapper after being recruited. Solo work: “Airplane Pt 1”, “More” Vocalists include: Jin (trained to be an actor). Solo “Epiphany” Jimin (trained in contemporary dance) Solo: “Filter” V. (Being recruited was a fluke) Solo: “Singularity” Jungkook (all round talent) Solo: “My Time”

[@whisper4423]

Thanks for having an open mind and listening to them. Glad you liked Mic Drop. You would also like Run BTS - they just did a free concert in Busan, South Korea. The first two songs were Mic Drop and Run BTS. Check out the live footage from the concert. Amazing. By the way, KPop is more like an industry in South Korea. It takes kids in their teenage years and trains them to sing, dance, etc. and then forms them in to groups (the ones that make it). BTS began this way, but they were different from the start. 7 hugely talented, smart, kind, humble, dedicated young men that have taken over the music industry and stepped way outside KPop. They deserve all the good things they get.

[@ashleyder9164]

Oh, yeah! He should watch the combined performance of Mic Drop and Run BTS live. Sooooo good.

Yep BTS can dance, rap, meaningful lyrics and cover a whole lotta genres 🎶 Seven members, 3 Rapline and 4 Vocal line. If you want to check out more from the Rapline, I recommend the following: Cypher’s 1-4 (Lyrics video) and live cypher medley. Ugh Daeng Outro Their live performances are fire with choreo as well. They also have solo work which will blow your mind. The one you were asking about is RM ~ the leader of the group. Also check out their group work ~ Fire, Black Swan, ON Kinetic Manifesto Coma Prima. They have a discography of over 300 songs. Trust me, they’re not just a bubblegum pop group. Lyrics and talent are real. Look forward to more BTS reactions 🎤

Im 52, from the Philippines. My daugther drag me into bts. I was surprised that they do different kinds of genre. Im a music lover or must say a jazz lover. But BTS surprised me in many ways. Since its your first time hearing them i suggest that you watch and react to BTS room live FESTA 2021. They sung live and medley of their songs. This group was well trained before they debuted in 2013. They sing and danced so well thats why they became huge all over the world.

[@georgiaraftery4183]

If you like rap BTS has 3 rappers, Check out there Cypher 3 and 4 also they just did a Concert in Busan where you can see UGH and CYPHER 3 live its al avalable on youtube

[@samiratarannum9159]

I agree and just reacting on those songs will not be enough he should react to their songs explanation to know how deep their lyrics are

[@tracydowd4013]

56 year old BTS Fan "ARMY" here. I'm very impressed that you acknowledged your pre-concieved notions and appologized. That just made me respect you and want to subscribe to your channel. BTS debuted in 2013 in South Korea as a Hip Hop Idol Group. KPop is not necesarily a genre, but is meant as a category to describe Korean Popular Music under the IDOL system. It includes many genres such as pop, hip hop/rap, R&B, Neo Soul/jazz/funk, ballad, rock, etc. Also, it includes the music videos, fashion, etc. So Integrated content would be a good description. BTS do not hold themselves to any genre boundaries, and they are not afraid to use their platform to talk about issues such as mental health, social issues, self love and development, etc. They are known for crossing and fusing genre's and they are the most famous and successful group in the world right now, and have been for some years now. *RM is the guy you asked about, he is the Group Leader, Main Rapper, and one of the main songwriters.* BTS has 3 Rappers (RM, SUGA, J-Hope) and 4 Vocalists (Jungkook, Jimin, Jin, and V). I would like to link you some live performances from their most recent concert in Busan, South Korea (10/15/2022). The ones I will provide have accurate English subtitles added to them. I know you will like these if you liked Mic Drop. I look forward to more of your reactions to BTS. Your neice was smart showing you Mic Drop, I would like to thank her for introducing you to BTS. Please, give her a hug for me, from one BTS ARMY to another, and tell her I Purple You. 💜 If she is a BTS ARMY, she will know what that means. *Songs are in order of performance from the BTS Yet To Come in BUSAN, South Korea, Concert (and I added the year the song debuted)* I didn't include too many, because they performed 19 songs, with 8 full choreography's, and they performed as a solo act, no opener. Let me know if you want more and I can find videos with accurate subtitles. ENJOY! Cause the performance is FIRE 🔥😉 Mic Drop (2017) (plus concert Intro) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKi0oaarnqeDbdU RUN BTS (2022) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/faKueptna7CKbq8 UGH!

[@butterflysnme724]

57 year old white American grandmama lol. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THEM ALL! When I discovered them almost a year ago I was so sad and depressed and they brought me out of it. They have something that other K-Pop groups don't have. Army for life. Somebody probably already told you but RM was who came out and yes, was rapping in perfect English. He taught himself by watching the Friends TV show dvd's. Yep, he's a really smart man. Just love them all. If you've not seen Run BTS....you need to.

[@jaelove.bts7]

Not that there's anything wrong with young girls liking BTS, but their age range is from 24-29, so most fans would range from mid-twenties to 60s+, even for Army fans. I know plenty of older adults that love BTS, and me myself; I am 20 and have been a fan for almost 5 years, so becoming a long-term fan usually surprises people. As many others have already stated, they are a unique, humble, and highly talented group of people. Love to stick around for your journey as a new subscriber! Borahae!💜

[@amz_erised3540]

I'm 46 years old, married with a son just their age. I don't have any idea about K-Pop before or anything that has to do about Korea but everything change when I got to know them. I just saw one video about them during the covid 19 pandemic, curious and got hooked since then. Believe me when I say they are amazing. All seven of them with different backgrounds and personalities, living in the same roof for seven years, turned out to be the best K-Pop group I have observed so far plus with their strong friendship, teamwork nd individual talents. It's like you are reading seven different amazing books bound into one.

[@jmomm]

I can't wait to see more of your BTS reactions... I am 49 years old and I love these guys. They have so much talent! I have been lucky to have been to 2 live concerts and they are the most solid performers that I have ever seen. Enjoy the BTS rabbit hole.

BTS is so good, so energetic and uplifting that it has helped many people fight depression and sadness. I will always be Army. Nobody compares with them; they are the best

[@readbooks9985]

The guy who jumped out of the back of the van is RM. There are 3 in the rap line, RM, Suga, and J-Hope. I was like you just assuming BTS was "boy band" then got my mind blown when I actually watched them perform. They are better than Tony Award winning Broadway musical. So talented. Each member is talented, and then when they are together, they are fantastic. ARMY member here.

[@Bonnie90505]

Hey there! I am 64!! proud to say I am BTS ARMY!! From Los Angeles CA-Grandma, loving everything BTS stands for. Don't be fooled by 7 Korean guys who wear stage makeup and different hair colors singing and dancing in a KPop band, nah, there is a real reason why their fandom is way over 50 million followers around the world and growing, all ages, no discrimination and the universal language is through their music. They all worked hard, been through many hardships. 💜💜Many thought they were just another KPop boy band, nope, as you see, this is not some young girls chasing them around, nope, ARMY are respectful, caring and proud to support such amazing 7 men who have left a huge impact on the world. I have so much excitement when someone new finds out about BTS..try explaining this from my take, at 64, it's not like I am a teenager boppin to pop music, the music is so versatile, and they each have their own style, It's been a very emotional roller coaster since early this year when we found out of the guys enlisting soon, and now the tears have been happening daily, but joyful knowing they will be fine and so will we. Each member is doing their solo and being on their own away from the group, expanding their wings. Keep up the good reviews, never feel different, you will see a peace inside your heart once you follow the message behind each song, MV.💜The song "Save Me" was one of my first songs that sent me a message..so many, each song is special.

[@mamacat321]

I mean, 40 million of us up at god knows what hour around the world (it was at 2 am my time) for Busan...all staring at a black screen...that's dedication LOL

[@Arty_Az]

You look about as shocked as I was when I first started taking notice of them, I'm more into heavy metal and hard rock but these guys are fantastic! They are the whole package, sing, dance, rap. They also write a lot the their songs, produce and direct as well. Run BTS *stage performance was AMAZING* is my most favourite but a close second is about 30 other songs of theirs. I honestly can't say what song got me hooked or when I started to listen to them but I'm enjoying the ride!

[@DLMorgan619]

I’m primarily a Rock and Metal fan, but I love old school hip hop and pop because I’m Gen X and we listen to everything. I didn’t expect to love “pop music” so much, but I listen to them everyday. I love J-Hope’s solo albums and I saw BTS in Las Vegas for day two of their PTD tour and it is one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. I go to a lot of concerts too.

[@moxiedawn4370]

My mother is 71, and I will be 53 on my next birthday, and we are big fans. They do a lot of styles. Hip hop, straight rap, EDM. The vocalists can do all varieties of pop.

[@Serenity113]

I’m a 36 Mexican American female who got into BTS since March of this year. I’ve heard some of their music on and off but didn’t really get into them until I read an article about how their music changed this one person’s life so I had to check them out. Mic Drop remix is what got me hooked on their music and watching KZbin videos of their shows In The Soop got me laughing and learning who they are. My bias is Suga the other amazing songwriter and rapper in the group. I got 10 years of their music that I’m trying to catch up on and so far it’s been a fun ride.

[@gigisandar]

BTS has many genres in their discography (which is quite wide) and they (they are 3 rappers and 4 vocalists) have been involved in the production and lyrics of their music from the beginning (very much from the beginning plus the rap line, they have always written their lyrics). I think your cup of tea would be the rap line although there are many songs as a group and from the vocal line that would surprise you. I recommend the solo works of the rap line and the cyphers (which are 4) included in their initial discography. Suga (one of the rappers and when he releases solo works he is called Agust D) once said "if you listen to our music without prejudices, you will like it", I'm not saying that all the songs will be to your liking but at least you will see that it is a group worth listening to and keeping in mind (if they are not video lyrics, always put the subtitles) I also recommend you watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqa5kKx_md2Nhrs it will help you get to know the members, what they have accomplished and their fandom. THANKS FOR YOUR REACTION

[@Smileymiley916]

I’m 32 and I got really into BTS last year. I flew across the country to see them in Las Vegas in April. It was incredible. RM, the rapper that came out of the van, I’m pretty much in love with him. But I’m a little in love with all of them if I’m honest.

[@LynntheWhalien]

Hahaha glad you enjoyed the song and for keeping an open mind! I'd suggest listening to the following songs by their rapline: Cyphers pt 1-4, Ugh, Outro:Tear.

They sing, rap, dance, write their own stuff...and if you want to see more dancing go and watch the ON (kinetic manifesto) video, and then keep going and going. The guy in the ambulance is Kim Namjoon, used to call himself Rap Monster because he started out in rap before BTS. But now he goes by Namjoon or RM but he has said it now means 'Real Me'. There are dance prodigies in this group, rappers, singers, and they're extremely solid and humble guys on top of all of the immense talent. If you're a fan of music, looking into what they have to offer won't disappoint. You're at the entrance to the rabbit hole of BTS music, there is so much yet to see.

I met BTS with the song NOT MORE DREAM when I was 15 years old, it was pure chance and I am eternally grateful for it, even when I started watching series and listening to Kpop since I was 9 years old, ARMY is the second fandom I have joined and the only one I currently follow. BTS accompanied me during the most difficult stage of my adolescence for four years their music was one of the things that meant standing, now things are better but my admiration and affection for the 7 has not changed, they are talented, gentle and very grateful, HUMBLE, and it's great to see how they have changed lives, my mother is 53 years old and she loves BTS, she dances to their songs, she sings them when she doesn't even understand what they say, and she gets upset when something bad happens to them, she is a full fledged Army, to love music and scream for your favorite band there is no age, BTS has more than proved it💜.

Thanks for this reaction. :) To explain a little bit about the background of Mic Drop, now BTS is the biggest boy band in the world. But they started with a small company that almost went bankrupt, so they have been very looked down and hated by Korean broadcasting stations and other K-pop fandom. So they have struggled from the beginning to prove themselves. It's a song for their haters. :) The direction of Mic Drop's lyrics began with the idea of J-Hope, the main dancer and dance leader of BTS. And 'Mic Drop' at the end of this music video is a performance created by BTS leader RM inspired by Barack Obama's speech. :) If you're interested in their live performances, Just check this out. [BANGTAN BOMB] 2017 MAMA Mic Drop. (BTS focus) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ3SfqSBlN57nJo It's not an official MAMA video broadcast on TV, but a full-cam taken by Big Hit. I recommend this because the camera work on official MAMA is so messed up. In this performance, Mic Drop was their 4th song, so the members were exhausted and held on with their mental strength only. And, there were even three dance breaks at this time. I can feel all of them Even if I die, I will die on stage. The energy is crazy! And BTS Mic Drop remix Jimmy Kimmel Live is great too. :) Oh, there is another song BTS worked on with Steve Aoki. The Truth Untold is a completely different song from Mic Drop. :) If you like rap, I would like recommend We On. This song is a track in their debut album, and you can see how much emotion they put in it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6OakKNqoJyagLM For reference, most of the BTS members were teenagers at that time. It would have been hard to bear at such a young age. But like We On's lyrics, they did it. And Jump, Cypher 1-4, Daechwita(Agust D 대취타, Suga's solo), Ugh, Interlude : Shadow, DDAENG, Outro : Tear are great too. :) And If you're interested in BTS' other MVs, I recommend.... Blood sweat & tears FIRE On kinetic manifesto film Black Swan Save me→I'm fine Daechwita(Agust D 대취타, Suga's solo) All of their music videos provide English subtitles. :) Their lyrics are very deep and beautiful. Or, I think it would be good to follow a story line. DNA: Joy of fateful love → Fake Love: Realizing that love was a lie → IDOL, Epiphany, The Truth Untold, Answer Love Myself: To love other people completely, you should love yourself first. These are included in Love Yourself Trilogy. The lyrics of BTS' songs are based on their own experiences, and their albums are organic because they contain their growth narrative. It will also be fun to listen to their albums in order and analyze them. :) They make a wide variety of genres of music like Hip-hop, Ballad, R&B, pop, EDM, etc. I'm sure there're quite a few of their 300 songs that suit your taste. :) Maybe you can try this. [2021 FESTA] BTS (방탄소년단) BTS ROOM LIVE kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIPLm5ePqLOqd80 It's a medley performance where you can taste the diversity of their music in 10 minutes.They are Korean songs, but English subtitles are provided, so you don't need to worry. :) They don't dance in this performance, but you can see them having so much fun. :) If you wanna know more about them, I think a few introduction videos can help you. :) A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7 by Taylor kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqa5kKx_md2Nhrs This is BTS by xCeleste kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZSohHSImtl8b7c ​ BTS HARDSHIPS by xCeleste kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJrHdWSabJinjqs ​ BTS NOBODIES TO LEGENDS by xCeleste kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaOsZXSsoKZ1o5Y ​ This is BTS ARMY by xCeleste kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3bcZaqJipWnbpo ​ The Most Beautiful Life Goes On a story of BTS (2022 Update!) by The Asian Theory kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnzSn358qNh-pK8

That guy with the swag is RM - the leader and all around lyrical genius!! His voice is deep and sooo good!

I’m a 42 year old black female and between Harry Styles and BTS my depression/sadnesses has been lifted. At that time life was hard. I owe my happiness to them! RM is my bias! 💚💜

Some BTS performances you should check out: -- BTS ON Kinetic Manifesto Film (if you wanna see them dance, you'll need to watch this one) -- BTS Outro Tear Live from Wembley Stadium (the 3 BTS rappers go hard in this one) -- BTS Proof Live (they perform 3 songs with a live band - two songs at the beginning of the vid and then a 3rd song at the end) -- BTS Black Swan live on James Corden -- BTS Tiny Desk Concert -- BTS Room Live (they perform a short medley of their songs from different albums so you can get a quick intro into their discography) They have sooooo many amazing performances, but this is just a few to get you started if you're interested in seeing more. It's not just their dance moves and their visuals that we love, but it's their message. There's so much substance to their lyrics and as long as they continue to speak, I'll (we'll) continue to listen. 💜
