FIRST TIME LISTENING TO K-POP! BTS - Permission to Dance REACTION

I love you guys ;)

[@shreshisharma9158]

Also, they're from South Korea Not North Korea. Kim Jong-un is the leader of North K👀. Kpop is huge in SK and around the globe and BTS is now global superstars and not just Kpop. I would love to see your more BTS reactions💜

[@bellis_p]

No hate... But yess I think he kinda confused about South Korea & North Korea.. They are a different country man..

[@jessicas5633]

They’re definitely not backed by the industry…we as a fandom fight hard every single week against the industry to keep them on top and they hate us for it.

[@vnikki1856]

Yesss true 💜

[@js3839]

The issue is that people think 12 year old fan girls shouldn’t be taken as seriously as say 12 year old fanboys over sports/gaming/etc, isn’t it? I’m part of the fandom, people online, fan or not, are toxic. They are anonymous and say whatever they want. I don’t see any difference between fandom accounts and verified adult accounts. They all act the same. As for you questions, they are in South Korea, not North Korea. North Korean citizens will hardly appear in any other country or media unless they are escapees and it will be known. South Korea is a developed nation that has just as much different styles of music as any other developed nation.(they don’t just have ‘idols’ [like Disney idols]) If you are interested in BTS, honestly you couldn’t have picked a better group. Their very smart label CEO had a background in the idol industry and original wanted the group to be a hip hop group but realized that idol groups would have more reach. He still maintained the music ideals of hip hop and independent artists so BTS work as an outlier in that industry. They write what they want, aren’t forced any collabs like in all US and worldwide big labels do to even their big artists 👀, and haven’t been sold out to any US labels like the other kpop acts have been. BTS’ label got HUGE really fast so they became a public company that ended up buying subsidiaries and even Scooter Brauns company and then made BTS’ immediate label a private subsidiary. That’s important when it comes to independence as artists. BTS is still indie technically even though the company they built is on the major Korean stock exchange and it’s brilliant. They also have gifted main stock and enough money to buy more stock if they wanted. Sorry it’s so long, but it matters when discussing the difference between performers and artists. Don’t worry, the newspaper they carried at the beginning was talking about the future when Corona is gone. It’s just being hopeful for the future maskless world.

[@yldz2805]

This song is written by Ed sheeran himself. Most of their songs are Korean, they have just 3 English song, Dynamite, Butter and Permission to dance. I hope you react to their Korean songs like Fake love, Mic drop, Black Swan, ON.

[@samikshyamishra6158]

They definitely don't mean to make people not follow the law or anything like that 😂😂😂😂 They're visualising the future and waiting for the day they'll be able to take off the masks and how happy that day will be.... They miss the concerts(they're way too amazing live, do react to live performances). And this song did what it was supposed to I guess, make the listeners happy and uplift their mood... If you wanna react to their English songs, there are only three including this one.. others are dynamite and butter... And if you wanna react to Korean songs, I suggest ON kinetic manifesto, Black Swan, Fake Love... There's a lot more!!! And if you're interested in Rap, like hardcore rap, try Outro:Tear, Ugh, Ddaeng or Cypher Series in which the rap line of BTS addressed their haters... Btw, there are 4 vocalists and 3 rappers in this group!!!

[@yazzmin13]

I dont get why people view happy songs as corny. Listining to sad and depressing music doesnt make you edgy or cool😕

[@yazzmin13]

Cool, i get that. I mean i couldnt stand hearing Happy for the 1000000 time either🙃

[@singularityjackson]

I’m a 45 year old Black American, mother of 4 and there ain’t nothing better than Kpop especially BTS!! As far as the BTS fandom (ARMY) We are all ages, shapes, sizes, colors, etc… 💜

[@neytts]

Hahaha they are not from North Korea. They are from South Korea 😂

[@vintagehouliganc8997]

You have lots to learn about BTS and Kpop in general. If you hear them acapella they have gorgeous voices with nothing added... this is a commercial venture. I recommend you learn about them... it helps when reacting. What you call corny I call authentic. Every question you asked, the answer is right on your computer if you want to research.....

[@marshadesouza7977]

Hay kid I'm 48, I'm a die hard fan of BTS, there are millions more of my age who are fans of K-pop and BTS, so it's certainly not exclusively to 12 years old girls. Please do expand your mind. BTS sings mostly in Korean, their songs are deep and meaningful, they sing about life, struggles, loneliness, friendship growth, Togetherness, loving ones self, they are unicef brand ambassador for the love yourself campaign, to end violence against youngsters, they have just been appointed by the President of South Korea as special Presidential envoy to the UN. BTS inspires millions of fans to be global citizen.

[@katalinviragnekocsis9867]

Every age and gender group listens to BTS and k-pop in general; boys, girls and old women like the 45-year-old myself, people with all kinds of background, everyone gets something from them :)

[@sayantanimandal9]

Your ignorance is effing hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 No probs..You will learn...best of luck with your endeavors

[@hobiwater4155]

Maybe to hear their real vocals you could react to an live performance. Just an idea☺️. Really liked your reaction.

[@shreshisharma9158]

I liked your genuine reaction💜also about the age group so there are ppl from 5 yr old to 60 yr old in the Fandom and it's so diverse and one of the strongest & loyal fandom on the planet (ofc some toxic stans are also there but c'mon which fandom doesn't have toxic fans😅👀). About BTS, so they have music and songs for every type of fan cuz they're not limited to 1-2 genres. I recommend you to watch Crash course to BTS 2021, The most beautiful life goes on by The Asian Theory, This is BTS: Introduction to know about the boys more💜

[@marleneevans8873]

Us seniors love BTS also. I am 68 and love BTS. We are are very faithful to BTS. They have a wide base in age from the very young to the older generation. They are from South Korea. Go watch A Story of BTS. This will give you an understanding of who they are. We as Army are very protective of BTS. As you learn about them and get to know them and their music, you will begin to understand who they are.

[@deyadna]

First thank you for being open minded, every reactor has to take that note so thank you🙏 Every fandom has toxic people in there, anime fandom, soccer fandom who even doing vandalism, being ruckus even beat people up, kpop is large industry with die hard fans are also some are toxic as hell. But every coin has two sides right? There's also some good people who doing charity and else. It's kinda sad when a fandom with female majority being bullied by 'fragile' man just bcs we have our music preference. You are right nothing wrong if males like BTS; jhon cena is a big fans, jonas brother visited their concert, dylan o'brien and other male celebrity even took their family with them. Data from concert ticket also shows almost more than 26% fans are male. If you search 'reaction to BTS' a lot of our regular BTS content creators are male, some even have been doing for years with their gf or wife. Idk why some male are digusted even mocking BTS without reason while BTS do everything but harm them; insecurity? Fragile masculinity? Who knows. Korea has separated into north and south since 1945. North korea is the one with restricted rules, and dictactor leader, let alone doing this they're not even allowed internet. In contarary, south korea is developing country, home from biggest electronic product like LG, Samsung, hyundai etc BTS OBVIOUSLY from south korea, they're consider as one of korean elites as they give huge economic impact for the country (with their music and have gained the South Korean economy $4.9 billion per year)

[@debbielichtefeld4750]

Thank you for reacting to BTS and I hope you react to more. I have been a fan for 2 years now and I am 48 yes old. There music is not what you think they help a lot of people with there music. This song is to get people moving since we are trying to get out of covid.

[@nanakun2341]

Feel free to react to BTS cuz they allow to do the reactions on youtube, the video won't be blocked.

[@ammaramurad5986]

when he said "this is kinda DOPE i was like: GO LISTEN TO DOPE!!!!!!!!!!! BTSSSSS

[@nightowl7374]

😂

[@tjcadayona5506]

You should watch the live version of this and you’ll see that’s really how they sound ;)

[@aesthete02]

That's what happens without even knowing the motive of one's song and lyrics...🤣they're not saying to break the rule..they're saying about the wait is over and we can let the fear go and covid-19 cannot pull us back from following our dreams anymore and we have to stay strong..its even visible in their title,that we don't need permission to dance... Gosh..these people are too busy to take out flaws first 🙄 by the way they are from South Korea...and south korea is a beautiful and the safest place in the world I think for anyone(especially females are havingso much freedom there withoutany fear)...step outside of your stereotypes first..there are two Korea i.e. North and south like American and African continent..😒

[@markballard9942]

BTS fan base is one of the largest and most diverse in the world. I'm a 69-year-old dude from Chicago in the United States.

[@mac9822]

Kim Jung-un is from North Korea. BTS is from South Korea. They are both Koreans but in a totally different culture (if this makes sense). About the "taking off the mask" thing, their message is to give hope to the world with this song that next year might be the year for us where no one needs to wear mask and the COVID pandemic is over. Maybe you can try to react to their Korean songs starting with their song "Dope". By the way, it is definitely NOT easier for them. If you get to dive deeper to their background when they first debuted, they have to crawl their way up to where they are now. They have a lot of hardships, challenges and criticisms to overcome at a very young age. Their company started off small even close to bankruptcy and now, thanks to their hard work, talents and authentic personalities, their company (Big Hit) and BTS have grown together.

[@monikakrell9251]

Bts Music have message in there lyrics, this 3 English songs Permission To Dance, Butter, Dunamite is just to cheer people up during pandemic

[@manggit21]

It talks about the end of COvid my friend... I hop by now you NOW understand what this song is about 😉

[@blinkriffia5545]

love the critical comments. LOVE IT. Stay authentic

[@kefir9372]

Bts does not represent kpop actually

[@sunflower590]

I clicked for bts but your dog is so cute! He literally made my day.

[@rmjinsugajhopejmvjkbts6481]

I heard this song as a typical pop song. This song is especially true among the three songs released in English by BTS. Is it because of Ad Sheeran? And Korea is divided into two Koreas and recognized as a separate country internationally. North Korea is oppressive, closed, and South Korea is free and developing at high speed. On yesterday's news, three North Koreans were arrested for BTS's blood, sweat and tear dance. In the comments, everyone is worried that they look like they're going to shed real blood, sweat, and tears. They just danced their favorite dance, and I hope they're safe ㅜㅜ

[@ucanmagdalena4221]

The music created by Ed Sheran etc. For entertaining all people who still in trapping by pandemic era

[@markballard9942]

With BTS songs, as long as you play the full introduction, they normally will not block it.

[@annebernard6604]

Thank you for this reaction ! What I was about to mention to help has already been said by other Army friends 😉 I hope you will keep goin’ that way, and friendly and social distanced hugs from a 55 Army from France ! 💜

[@crystalsnow1138]

BTS fandom is very diverse with people of all ages, races, nationalities, and genders. Actually most BTS fans are adults with the age demographic being split pretty evenly until age 50, but there are plenty of BTS fans over 50 too. And BTS do all genres hiphop, rnb, pop, edm, latin, neo-soul, and jazz. And they discuss all kind of subject matter in their music such as mental health, self love, loss, societal expectations/injustices, economic inequalities, and so much more. I would try to refrain to referring BTS as kpop, they are just BTS. Korea is divided into North Korea and South Korea. BTS is from South Korea and North Korea's leader is Kim Jong-Un so they are actually very different from each other. I'm kind of shocked how many people are aware that Korea is divided into North/South when it's been that way since the 1940's. BTS (3 rappers and 4 vocalists) debuted in 2013 and their names are Jin age 28 vocalist, Suga age 28 rapper, J-Hope age 27 rapper, RM age 26 rapper and group leader, Jimin age 25 vocalist, V age 25 vocalist, and Jungkook age 23 vocalist. BTS have over 250 songs to their name and they've made only 3 songs fully in english Dynamite, Butter, and Permission To Dance. The others are in Korean with some english mixed in.

[@user-cpaOT7]

Madre mía que perdidillo estaba este chaval, he visto que tienes varias listas de grupos de K-pop así que ya sabrás donde esta Corea del Sur y algo más de la “ola coreana” que está conquistando el mundo del entretenimiento. Y ellos no instigaban a quitarse las mascarillas , la canción era un canto a la esperanza de que algún día llegaría el fin de la covid, y que mientras no necesitaba,os permiso de nadie para bailar! En cuanto a si eran famosos fácilmente, espero que ya sepas su increíble historia de superación! Si no te recomiendo ver The rise of Bangtan! De la nada absoluta, de vivir siete chicos en una habitación de literas a ser los artistas mas internacionales de Corea del Sur! Pareces majo, me imagino que a medidas que fuiste conociendo el K-pop y a BTS corregirías tus ideas preconcebidas! Seguiré viendo tus vídeos a ver cómo fue…Gracias!

[@escarlexmartinez2972]

There is North Korea (where the disctation is) and South Korea, a world power in technology, for example creators of Samsung, Hyundai, LG, BTS are from South Korea

[@samanthapeel383]

they are not sending the message to not wear face masks but more towards the fact that hopfully soon the pandemic will be over and we can get back to normal...bts themselves wear face masks when required and follow social distancing guide lines

[@nightowl7374]

I can't tell if your reaction thoughts are real some reactors are fake just to get views so idk

[@kiolp4459]

They are their original voices you can also watch some of their interviews in which they had sang live ..... So these are original voices..

[@tracydowd4013]

The O is shaped like a balloon. All fan bases have toxic fans, and you will find that BTS fans have a very diverse fan demographic and are overall really nice people. All ages, genders, races (I'm 55). I think you are mixing up the countries, North Korea (dictatorship), and South Korea(democracy). BTS is from South Korea. They are well loved by their country. They are saying we have hope for the future that we will get to take our masks off and get back to our normal lives, so we don't need permission to dance means to have fun and dance, and look forward to the future. BTS are not all pop music. They have 3 English songs and the rest of their discography is Korean and Japanese language. They have over 230 songs with many genre's. I'm sure you can find other songs you will like. They formed in 2010 and debuted in 2013, so they've been together for a long time.

[@lunasterisk]

Thanks for the reaction ,bro ❤️‍🩹🫂

[@markballard9942]

Their discography includes more than 300 songs.

[@AlphaChad-ew1ky]

please react butter!

[@monikakrell9251]

Bts is the biggest group in the world, the are 3 rappers and 4 vocalist and all dance, the write and produced there songs, the have 5 nr 1 songs at Billboard and 5 nr 1 Album at Bllboard 200.. By the way this song is for us fans/Army o cheer us up during pandemic and purple colour is Bts and Armys colour, means we love you forever. The are nr 1 right now whid Butter have been for 8 weeks

[@youreguy9473]

Keep going bro 💜

[@pyang46699]

Lol @ this sounds like an ending to a movie, whoooooo!!!

[@markballard9942]

Most of their music is in Korean or a mixture of English and Korean. They also sing in Japanese. Permission to Dance is one of three all English songs designed to help them penetrate the Western market. It was written primarily by Ed Sheeran. It's also designed as lightweight summer listening. It should not be seen as representative of all of their music by any means.

[@nrxfrh_7544]

You should react to their live performance! Their vocals are just insanee! And they do it while dancing too! And keep on listening to their music! They have a lottt of other songs and genre! A lot of their song touches on mental health! Their songs really healed meee!

[@jaylorezovlogtv810]

to know more about theme plz react to bts from nobody's to legend

Hi Insanian,next please the legendary queen 2NE1 live performance in MAMA and mv's like IAM THE BEST,COME BACK HOME,FIRE street version,Ugly. Thanks..❤💙

[@whaline28]

Great reaction! But BTS fanbase is mostly 20+ not exactly teenagers. You should react to BTS introduction by XCeleste. There’s a “chain of goodness” surround these guys and their company core values. I’m a 30yo brazilian Army and have been donating to causes, inspired by them and the fandom. This song is indeed corny but it was intentional . It’s a happy song to celebrate the end of corona and also adds inclusion with sign language in the choreography. Saying that,you should also listen to the rap songs, the R&B and jazzy oned too. They are SUPER versitile, not a regular pop group.

[@heyrobwest3908]

First off it is a balloon not a sperm cell number 2 their fan base is in over 160 countries in ages ranging from eight years old to 92 years old males and females. This is only their 4th fully English song made for the western specifically United States market so they had to put auto tune and effects in the song because that's the way it goes in the United states and Western countries got to have auto tune! If you knew they were Korean and thought they were gonna sing in Korean why didn't you turn the closed captions on and select English translation.

[@silvermist_fairy]

Personally this is my least favourite sing from them..Too much autotune and the sound is corny like you said. I suggest any of their Korean songs they are way better

[@renaseternity9632]

Hi Insanian,next please the legendary queen 2NE1 live performances in MAMA and mv's like IAM THE BEST,COME BACK HOME,FIRE street version,Ugly. Thanks..

[@erickuoch7597]

[@jrdmoreau]

Duh...the vocals ARE natural and SOUTH Korea has no rules on artists

[@sabrinamarkos7099]

You need to check out some of their other songs. These boys dance, rap, sing; they are awesome. They sing for the times. Check out MIC Drop, Black Swan, Fake Luv, Dynamite; etc. They are completely diverse in their music and movements. 3 rappers, 4 vocalists, 7 dancers.👍🏾👵🏿💗🎶🙆🏾‍♀️💞
