Same! The song doesn't bother me at all but one scene in the video makes me uncomfortable to watch just because I know none of them are actually that physically aggressive with women

[@MariaChavez-ey5sr]

I am female (late 40s) I do work as on ethics (among other topics) and work hard on promoting women and minorities and love this song. It’s one of the least offensive things and can be seen as a tongue in cheek laughing at themselves for being girl focused and hormonal. The video and whole vibe is one of my favorites and I’m so dang pushed they stopped performing it because of the controversy because this is beyond a bop. But despite that they set a higher bar foe themselves and again they get knocked down and get up stronger. Still stream WOH for clear skin folks! Justice for WOH. V is so damn funny the whole video, he’s such a damn good ball which also sets a tone for not taking it serious but it being tongue in cheek funny song. Also them being all tough in their bicycles. 😂😂😂

Same, I would love to see this live. It is such a hype song.

[@MarinaEariel]

The moment they say "I'm 18 I know all about it" (or even different translations/interpretations of what is what he knows) you need to realize the "narrator" is unreliable. I believe they do have some other early content which is a bit more questionable but WOH shouldn't be a target

[@FREEKYFERRET]

[@MyBrown50]

I am a mother and grandmother of twin granddaughters I love this song. I have even used it as a discussion of their transition from young girls to adults about their War of Hormones. BTS gave a honest review of the changes they were experiencing. As was mentioned in previous comments this song is nothing compared to what called music nowadays. Enjoyed your reaction to it 💜

[@schafferable]

This is such a good song that really depicts how young men battle against their hormone changes. Girls have their own crazy hormones. I don't care what people say... they always write about what they are going through and this is what every boy-to-man goes through and thinks. It's funny too. V is hilarious in this video...

[@BangPDsMom]

A lot of the so-called controversy was churned up by BTS haters/antis. Fake pearl clutching when other kpop male groups were making music in the same vein. Being an old woman who has lived with real sexual harassment & lots of misogyny, to me this is simply a song about teen age boys being honest about what’s going on in their heads. Yoongi’s rap lines are sweet. Hobi’s verses are suggestively cute as hell.

[@CL-cn8wt]

Yep! It's coming from haters who just looking for anything to shame them for.

[@silviamunoz6863]

I'm a 65 yo woman and I simply love this song! I think that they are just expressing the feeling of teenagers, using their language to express their admiration for women, nothing out of normal. Maybe a bad translation caused all the misconception and of course, haters. Here in the Western there are too many songs really misogynistic and disrespectful that I would really love seeing them being banned...

[@barbaraspeckarmy]

I dont think the backslash came from international fans but from koreans, so there is no translation problems but just culturel.. and it was years ago. I guess a lot changed there nowadays too 💜

[@amberpearce710]

I think it was both translation problems and Korean fans but for culture reasons…but mostly haters

[@flyushkifly]

Rather than banning, I wish people were educated to see the popular songs for the displays of misogyny they are. That they just slide under the radar is so frustrating!

I agree on that, many of them should be... However not this song. It's a bad call on both sides😮😢

[@crystalsnow1138]

Maybe growing up with all the explicit music I hear in the US all the time has desensitized me because I don't find this song offensive at all. And it's a shame BTS don't perform it anymore because of the backlash against it. As a woman, I love this song.

I, as a woman..never found this offensive. I of course can’t speak for every female and their personal experience..but mostly I think some people WANTED to be offended. Wanted to start drama. And they succeeded of course, but as per usual it backfired on them. It just made BTS and RM specifically, even better men and song writers. I love this song personally, and I adore the m/v~ 💜

[@onedaysai0]

I agree. This controversy was ridiculous BUT it kept them from writing stereotypical love songs in the future.

[@ashh.8095]

One of my favorite songs by them and I am devastated that the boys got so much hate for this. They loved this song in the beginning, you can tell because there are actually three dance practices, (you missed the "Real War" version which is hysterical) which I don't think they have for any other song. They had so much fun with it before it was ruined for them. I don't think we will ever see them perform this song again just because there was so much controversy and I think it left a scar on them mentally. 😢 They recorded the MV and outside dance practice at Yangpyeong English Village, its an education theme park to help people immerse themselves into an English speaking culture. The architecture is based on Virginia USA I believe. The really popular K-drama "Boys Over Flowers" was partially filmed at this location too. The War of Hormone Halloween dance practice is credited as the first Halloween dance practice and starting the trend of doing so in K-pop. 💜

[@JoSedunary]

Hi John ! I think that they were (at that time) just 'talking about what young boys talk about ! How they suddenly begin to see girls when you reach your teens.... For me it was them saying that they are noticing girls more, but were too shy to go up to them and talk.The line 'I'm gonna give it to you girl right now' was actually a call/response line to ' Hello Hello , tell me what you want right now'... that could mean literally anything... flowers, chocolates, attention...whatever the girl wanted they could have as long as they were theirs... they were hormonal teenagers.. completely normal.

[@emelinesneddon2358]

The song that led me down the rabbit hole😂 because I fell in love with V’s gritty voice! It didn’t even occur to me it was remotely disrespectful to women( heard worst in the Western music community). It was catchy and funny.

[@LotusBloom0309]

This song is my ring tone. “Hello , hello. Tell me what you want right now.” Seriously though, the controversy surrounding this song is so blown out of proportion. I’m a huge feminist, and I just see this as teen boys speaking truthfully about their own experience. At least from my Western perspective, I don’t think this is anything to be too offended about.

[@delasmercedes2940]

This is a great song on boys growing up while laughing at themselves. I’m 60+ woman and a hardcore feminist, so I say it: there isn’t an iota of misogynism in this song. What I believe is that at the time, and continues less aggressively today, there was an abundance of orchestrated campaigns to stop BTS from success in the K music industry: to compete with the big three was indeed a great challenge. Kudos to them, their company, and armys of the time; without their perseverance we would have had the unthinkable today: no BTS

[@ytsab1455]

Even for South Korea this is pretty tame and this felt more like being targeted for any reason because they were getting popular.

Yes! Just look at what songs the more popular groups were putting out during bts’ early years and even the years leading up to them (2nd gen - early 3rd gen)…but guess which group got aaaallllll the outcry?

I absolutely love this song, MV and performance. We may not see it as misogynistic from our modern western perspective but I can definitely see it from theirs. Its what the British would call "cheeky".

[@BoraBlooded]

It wasn't an issue in Korea, though. It was western, non-native speakers who started all the drama. I see a lot of people say that maybe it's from the Korean culture's standards, but that's just not the case at all.

[@lizzysmom8899]

@@MidnightxCrow Which makes the whole thing more ridiculous. Anyone who has had to listen to the crap some "artists" have put out in the West should find this song ridiculously silly. After being exposed to American rap, in particular, I can't imagine how this song is misogynistic. But it's the same for women in the western market who are called horrible names for singing about sex when their male counterparts practically endorse sexual violence. Acceptable for me but not for thee...

[@tinaalbers7749]

Love this song! I’m older Army mom & have experienced my share of misogyny this ain’t it. Immature at times possibly - they were young. Maybe shouldn’t have picked any of them in the end - and said call me in 5 years😁. Namjoon sought out assistance from a women’s studies professor after the back lash I believe. I honestly think he would have broadened his mind in this way no matter because of the thoughtfulness of his mind.

[@gloss39]

People were claiming back then that BTS were objectifying women in this song but the title itself speaks about battling with raging hormones which is a very natural thing. Young boys go through that stage when they get attracted to girls physically and most of the times sexually. It's something so natural which they need to take control of and that's why it's called War Of Hormones. And they were talking about it as young boys. There are more actual misogynistic songs out there but then they only look at bts to drag and ignore when their own faves do it.

[@yoongimarryme-]

V is so cheeky! 😂🤩🤩 He's born for the stage. All 7 great 👏🏻💜

[@kaylyndunbar6414]

I think this was like the 5th or 6th song my daughter played for me, I loved it 3 1/2 years ago and I love it now. And yes, V certainly did steal the show on this one. But then I am V biased 😁. Seriously though, I love how he sounded early on but love his sound even more now with hints of growl. But is expressions are just chef's kiss! Thanks for the reaction!!

[@patwalker5133]

Oh come on. How do the girls look at the guys at their school. The jocks and the good looking guy? They are feeling the hormones too. They want to date them. They want them as their boyfriend. Do they seek out nerdy boys or the chubby kid. No! Its human nature to be attracted to beauty. How many conversations took place in the girls bathroom or at lunch about what happened on their date with the school's jock? True they mentioned "unspeakable parts" but girls never talked about the six-pack abs and the men's unspeakable parts? It's a song about boy's bodies changing and noticing girls. In Junior high and high school, they are not going to be singing songs about wanting to get married and being with the girl forever. They are going to sing about the girl they noticed. Wanting to ask her for a date or wanting her to be his girlfriend. I think it was just like all the rest of the stuff going on at the time. BTS was gaining momentum and the anti-fans were just trying to dig up dirt. And how did BTS handle it, they publicly apologized, RM consulted with a professor of women's studies about his music to become a more understanding artist. He started reading psychology book and BTS ended up creating a masterpiece that is "Map of the Soul 7".

[@mask8961]

I am a female, who does enjoy this song and DO NOT find it offensive. I believe this was offensive mostly in Korea and drama stirred up by other fandoms, at the time. There are plenty of other artists with really offensive material played on the radio and blaring from vehicles on the street, which people allow/enjoy?! So sad that BTS and mostly RM had to deal with this mess. 💜💪🎼

One of my favorite songs love it very much no disrespectful to girls at all. They just telling the truth about it all so cute but hot at same time

[@nikki4noo]

It was people taking a couple of lines out of context. Yes, they are talking about women as an object, but it is in the context of teenage male hormones and how society allows them to express it. Like many others I suspect that it was Anti's who raised the stink about it while pretending to be ARMY as this was when BTS was really starting to get some traction. The song is an absolute bop and it's one of my all time fav song. I'm so sad they don't perform this live anymore since they were attacked. That Halloween dance practice is epic with them all keeping in character, especially Tae! In other stupid attacks some have also attacked this dance practice because of Hobi's prisoner costume claiming it's related to WW2. A basic google disproves that but they still often use it in claims BTS members are problematic.

[@sc0ttishlass]

Ppl took offense of the line Girls are like equations boys have to do them. In Korean they actually say Girls are like puzzles, boys have to solve them. Compared to the misogynistic rap/hip hop songs and MVs we have been seeing for the past 20 years, this is nothing. It is a representation of what young boys go through in puberty. I love that song!

I LOVE War Of Hormone. There is nothing wrong with it. Nothing offensive or derogatory. Heck, they even call women a national treasure.💜👍 In my opinion, the only way to be offended by War Of Hormone,is if you are trying to be offended by it. It's a great, bouncy, fun song about teenage boys, surging hormones, and recognizing that girls are different, and that they feel different around them. It's an honest look at a fact of life, explored in a light-hearted way.💜👌 As a 54 year old woman, I've seen a lot of songs filled with misogyny (and misandry), and this is definitely NOT one of them. It honestly deserves a lot of respect and love 💜👍

I love all the comments here….love all the wonderful people who are supporting and standing up for this song. If the boys ever were to perform this we would all go nuts!

[@robwebnoid5763]

I agree, War of "Hormone" did not deserve the "horrible moan" of criticism. But South Korea was & still is conservative when it came to this type of subject matter & that was why the uproar came about. I do hope they perform this again.

[@shannashepherdwagoner1100]

I love this song. The "Real War version" dance practice is what actually hooked me. I highly suggest you react to it! Also I don't find it misogynistic at all. I feel that it is what is going through teen/young adult male minds and bodies and they are just cheekily bringing attention to it.

This song makes me laugh because they were so young and honest.

Honestly I think the people claiming it was misogynistic were just haters. It was fans of other groups that were looking for anything to drag BTS at the time. I could be wrong about that but I’ve never seen anyone that’s Army have a problem with this song.

Exactly...the song is about puberty...I love this song

[@stephaniewerkheiser5636]

I agree with you. I'm a female and I've always liked this song and I've never felt there was anything wrong with the lyrics!

Just came to add all the comments that as a strong, independent, intelligent woman in her 40s, I love this song and have never seen the big deal. Not misogynistic AT ALL, in my opinion. Love the MV.

This is the first reaction video I'm watching from you and I loved this reaction! I think I found a new reactor I want to follow :)

This is one of my favorite BTS videos and songd

9:53 - I agree! His grit is really different here, and we don't hear it much now. It's more husky.

LMAO listening to your exit. " I'm freaking loving this stuff, toodles." 🤣🤣🤣 You have officially been BTSed! Love it! I've gone from hello to have a blessed day. It's amazing how many people do a double take and now say thank you, you too. Kindness goes a long way. " I Love you man!" (a throw back).

I think the whole "controversary" was because it portrayed women as sex objects. However, you have to remember that the guys were teenagers at this time. I might be older now, but I remember what boys were like at 16, 17 and 18. So, for me, this is not misogynistic, but reality. I am not offended and no one should be. I remember feeling pretty much the same way. So, I love this song! Dang it! That's not the "dance practice" video! It's one of them, but not the funny one. And I'm not talking about the Halloween one.

And 17yo (international age) JK sang "I'm 18 I know all that stuff". I suppose he was 18 in Korean age.

[@OutrageousOpulence]

@@julieharris4700 he was 18 international age 17 around that time

As a woman I do not find this even slightly offensive. They aren't calling us bitches and hoes or telling us to blow the whistle .... The snowflakes of this world found it offensive. But let's be real if they re-released this in the US in mostly English (to ensure radio play) and didn't change the actual lyrics not only would it be a HUGE hit. Within the first few months it would be so over played, probably one of the most played out songs of the year. It would be that song that plays on every radio station alllll the time. The song that when you turn on the radio and switch the station it is also playing on that station and the next one at the same time! This would be one of the most requested songs in the club. Because you can dance to it and because it is a super sexy flirty song. Honestly the guys were like hey we aren't boys we are men and yes we have sexual urges too! 😉 I never ever understood why people got upset about "girls are like an equation, us guys just do them, yup"😅 I was like oh ok, these guys have a sexy side...really who isn't totally down for that.😉 If they had released this song this year instead of years ago there probably also wouldn't have been so much hate on it because of their popularity. It is truely 1 of my ultimate top 5 songs of theirs. 🔥🔥🤩😎

I love V's deep voice as well. His range is unbelievable! They don't use his deep range as much anymore, sadly. Check out Let Me Know for more his deep voice.

I think any controversy over this song was taken way out of proportion. I understand some were offended, but imo it was more of a platform to stifle their progress. They endured a lot in that regard. Just my opinion on the situation. I love the song and the mv!
