First Time Reaction - BTS - ATTACK ON BANGTAN ( METAL VOCALIST )

[@jhopeur7219]

This is one of those performances that people saw back when it happened and realized BTS was DIFFERENT. Like the energy, the sincerity, the FUN they had on stage, the charisma they had as individuals and as a group...this was something so new and unique and powerful. They were known as performance monsters since they debuted and this was just like a show and prove for them.

[@letygr]

oh I didn't know that! It's interesting to see that this one really opened some people's eyes. You learn something new every day as an army

[@chrissturkenboom6080]

You are so right!!!!

[@jddbaca]

I am new Army. I came for the Butter in July but this is one of the first videos I saw and I was HOOKED. I keep thinking that the industry tried to keep them out but performances like this must have magnetically attracted fans!

[@JKChing]

V doing the aigoo voice (🤣) and Jimin losing it with laughter so hard he couldn't sing or stand.😂🤪💜💜

[@gabrieleDATA]

I remember even Eric Nam admitting that they were MONSTERS back from the begining. They were actually getting a lot of attention as newbies everywhere except Korea because they always were 5 steps ahead everyone in the industry doing their own ish. Especially performing and enjoying music WITH army not for Armys. And it always stayed that way.

[@csong9940]

They performed this song at KCON LA in 2014 when they were complete unknowns and ended up blowing the audience away. Check out that live performance when you get a chance. Edit re Jimin’s shoulders: have you not seen the dance battle with BLOCK B?! 😱 Watch it!!!

[@nelliezamborsky3224]

Yes, that Block B dance battle is iconic. Don't let Mrs. John R watch it.

[@anitralarae_mahjacat]

Is He Ready for the Perfectly Proportioned Jiminie?!?

[@KootchLB]

Oh yes, that was memorable. Who'da thought that Jimin's baby face came with those awesome muscles?

[@tannie618tran7]

Yes he should check the dance battle with Block B.. a must John

[@sam693691]

I have try to get any reactor to react to BTS Kcon 2014 they are great fan cam on KZbin that shows the audience reaction to the one year old BTS, it blows my mind every time..

[@Manueelaa]

What's crazy to me is that this song was released in 2013, the year they debuted and it contains lines like: But what will happen if Bangtan Seonyeondan rises? My feet sound the alarm, announcing my entrance to the K-pop world Who are we? The rising BTS Climbing to the top is a matter of time, the first block of the dominos has been pushed down If you don't know us, get to know us well And they did it! They climbed to the top and became bigger than K-pop itself... they couldn't know back then but the believed in themselves and they made it That song is a self-fulfilling prophecy

[@ank5c4]

Ikr! I always say that and point people to this song. They had a vision of where they wanted to go and then worked insanely hard to make it happen.

[@parmajeon]

Literally manifested ❤❤

[@irmayusnita7716]

love this song. now it's time to react "boys with fun" and watch V become the choreographer guru 😆

[@jazzyjaz5910]

YES THIS

[@mhecyeuh3080]

Yeyyyyy!!! Finally Attack on Bangtan... This is one of my early favorites BTS songs.

[@ShashoShasta]

Guy in the red pants at the beginning is their choreographer Son Sung-deuk 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@anitralarae_mahjacat]

HA! That's what I get for not scrolling down before commenting. I caught him in the B Block Dance Battle, too!

[@catunia]

Yaaaay, Attack on Bangtan!!!! Such an old song but always a goody! The thing they have on their chest is their names, I think they used that so camera men knew who to focus on when filming or something like that but not totally sure. Suga always a mood, lol, gotta love that man sassiness.

[@elena_ksw2482]

yeah, when groups record practice for a performance, they put on name tags for the cameraman

[@ryk3349]

And the live version, on top of everything you said, they are singing in Japanese. So amazing 🤩

[@elena_ksw2482]

they rap in Japanese at the speed of light

[@cheryllambert3461]

I love this song so much. V goes off and chaos erupts! John you don’t need to learn to dance to have this much fun 😂. 🏆for Jimins shoulders, which we rarely get to see anymore 😂🤗💜🇨🇦

[@Cookie_moonlove]

12:39 Their names, for camera work etc for the performances. 지민 = Jimin, J-Hope: 세이홉, Jungkook: 정국 , Suga: 슈가 , V: 뵈, Rap Monster: 랩몬스터 and Jin: 진.

[@yoongimarryme-]

One of my favorite songs. This was in Japan and V was total crazy and happy. If I remember correct the version you watched is from Beijing. There is a better version from Nanjing. Search for it BtS Epilogue Nanjing. For almost the whole song he jumped on JK's shoulders who carried him piggyback and then on his shoulders. Nonstop laughing. And he messed up JK's hair while dancing in another song. Because of teasing him he made a few mistakes in dancing and almost passed out laughing. And the Baepsae performance was... 😅🤣😆 J-hope was the best, but Fancams shows that V improved a lot 😁💜 JK is a beast on stage. He isn't the leadsinger for nothing. RM said once that despite dancing he has the most stable voice. Greetings from Germany 💜

[@nneichan9353]

Jimin does have nice shoulders, yes. but if you want a really big shock look up a pick of his thighs. phenomenal indeed. these kids are real athletes.

[@rafaelsmith5737]

Yes, high thighs are something else

[@shireenedoo1978]

Now you can see why they are on top .. no matter how tired they are, they always give 100% .. unlike other people who don't care that the audiance spent a lot of money to see them perform, BTS cares a lot about those things so they give their all every time .. thats why we love them so much .. good luck with your dance class John .. by the way Jin is going into the military tomorrow.. good luck to my favourite guy 👍👍🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@gudly8]

All of them can compete with each other for every other voice and on any given day, any vocalist can win. But when we talk about that ocean deep voice or that rock growling voice.. no one stands a chance. V remains undisputed ! His vocal range astounds me. Imagine this same singer hitting those higgghh notes in stigma. His growling made this song for me ! 💜

[@heartsamessgaultier8562]

Love V's growl and his impromptu dance moves.

[@maryannbaxter73]

This was the "look at my arms" Jimin era, hahahaha. This choreos were so powerful. So much energy. Was this the studio they always talked about with water leaks? They have their name tags. The did it until everybody could know their name, and they did it, hahah. Yesssss, go John!!! BTS makes me wanna dance too! I am from the robot club too, haha.

[@silviamunoz6863]

This song gets my happy no matter how was my day hehehe This was in Japan and V was tooootally crazy that night 🙂

[@erinlamascus9255]

Just want to say I love your reactions and thoughts John. You are so genuine and I love it . And then to piggyback on JK's amazing vocal control after jumping and running and still hitting his notes ..hes doing it all in Japanese. Not even his native language . He is just absolutely AMAZING!! As are all 7 of them 💜💜💜

[@boyskiz]

Just like RM mentioned before when it comes to their live performances they will give their 101% or more because the audience (or ARMY) came and spend their hard earned money to watch them performed. He said he doesn't want the audience to go home after the concert and says it was a wasted 2hours of their lives. So they BTS must always give their best always. BTS is certainly worth the time and money watching them live.

[@ALadybug42]

Oh man, you gotta check out more of their older stuff - the dance practices are absolutely in sane! They were much "harder" then, I think. And yeah, JK is THE JK. He's just the best. 💜💜💜

[@siwahna2]

I’ve been wanting you to react to this. V’s voice in this performance is perfection.

[@idilgok2420]

V always so iconic... His growls are amazing

[@sonjabattiste3106]

This was released in 2013! BTS have earned the right to have been gotten a GRAMMY! These guys are very unique in everyway possible. NOBODY is doing concerts the way BTS has done them. We need to push their music more and more to earn this award. So many others have not done a oz of what BTS has given to us in 10 plus years. They really need to be HONORED AT THE AWARDS for ALL THEY HAVE DONE and still DOING TODAY. BTS is so humble, talented, kind and so awesome. STOP HATING on BTS. GIVE THEM THEIR WELL DERSERVED FLOWERS when they return from their commitment. Again, doing all the things to help their country and us.

[@kaylyndunbar6414]

Not gonna lie, I have watched this particular live version of Attack on Bangtan to many times to count. It is one of my favorite "hard" songs next to ON. And can I just say....am absolutely in love with V's hard raspy growls!!! I wish he would do them more. Love his voice!! If I remember correctly, this is from their Japan Epilogue concert from 2016 (I think) in Kyoto, Japan (not 100% sure if that is correct) This is also the concert of the infamous and iconic No More Dream Dance Break....but I digress...they go so hard on this song it's just amazing!! Thanks for the reaction!! Have a great rest of your week!

[@Raynstor.m]

You know how JK loves to inmate people. I swear when he is rapping his first verse he sounds like Seo Taiji. So good! This is such a fun get up and dance song. Love it. Thanks for reacting. I can’t wait to see your dance moves. 😉 💜🫰

[@erinraecowin]

*happy dancing* THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES EVER!!

[@JohnReavesLive]

I can for sure see why!! It’s amazing!

[@elnabenoit]

V is especially strong dancing here. As he has refined his style we have lost some of his boisterousness - but we've gained grace and sexiness. P.S. In dance practice they often wear their NAMES. RM is often the only one using Roman letters. See Mic Drop Dance Practice. Surprise your wife by dancing like BTS! In 2017, in England, at my niece's wedding - the 7 groomsmen danced "Boy With Luv" at the reception!

[@maryhduke2307]

This is the moldy basement practice room. The mirtors would fog up. Often had to mop floor to dance.....

[@SkyeMarrrie]

I was just watching this last night again LOL this would be your typical chaotic BTS live performance. Man! love them so much 💜

[@davimoraes3731]

that's why he's the main vocalist

[@tammarabg8174]

The paper with the hangul (Korean) writing is their names. In the beginning they had to wear these name tags for performance practices so the camera operators and crews would know who they were.

[@neddiflex2473]

They had their names pinned to their chest cause nobody knew who they were when they went to performance shows. They didn't mind though. They were just happy to be there and finally debuting. I think it was a relief to be moving forward. And we all know how it worked out

[@joycelevy3628]

The “backup dancer” in the maroon pants is Mr. Son! You JUST now are noticing Jimin’s incredible body parts?🤣🤣🤣

[@JohnReavesLive]

Mr.Son has the MOVES!! And also I need to inform myself on who he is but for real that’s awesome!

[@joycelevy3628]

@@JohnReavesLive He is their original dance teacher, choreographer and later, performance director. He worked (and still does) for Big Hit. In the early days he sometimes fills in as a backup dancer. Or as a member who is missing. An integral member of the BTS team.

[@pyang46699]

The beautiful thing is that the boys are having fun, bot trying to be perfect ax nd just enjoying and performing as they were. One thing you cannot hate, is howwww cute they all are lol..

[@sharonmcneil3545]

This is one of my favorite early ones! I think someone already mentioned, but in the first practice video, the man in the maroon pants is Son Sung-Deuk. He's their performance director (basically head choreographer) he's been with them from the beginning. I love how they just have so much fun on stage.

[@schnappyss]

I’m sooooo glad you finally reacted to this song. The dance practice is insanely precise. I love it!! But the live omg it’s the BEST. Taehyung went off with the growling🔥🔥🔥 JK and the power slide into the falsetto is perfection. That whole concert is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Can’t wait for your dance practice videos😜

[@imajinallthepurple]

YESSS! That whole concert is legendary! I don't know what got into them that night but they went nuts! 😂 I totally needed this today. And kudos to Meg for including the second practice video! 💜

[@devifebriani263]

Omg... Attack on bangtan.....

[@paolapaola6945]

yes, love to see you dance. back you 100% . 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@JohnReavesLive]

Ahhh heck yes💜💜 thank you!

[@donnapoock599]

Their names were because in the early days cameramen didn't know them by sight so they had their names pinned on.Have been Army since day 1,am 69 and will stay till 1 of us is done🤗💜

[@tso7785]

Yep. That happened. Live. 🥰

[@KootchLB]

Thank you for this reaction John, I love watching their early work because their baby faces were so cute and then they turn savage. And Suga leaping over one of the dancers! No downshift for these boys no matter how many songs they have already sung. JK rapped a lot more in those early songs and his voice was always stable, he has perfect pitch and even in their Run BTS and various travel series his vocals were always stable even while messing around. All the best for those dance lessons, find your rhythm and go for it! Btw, our Moon reported for his training today, our love go with him and prayers for his continuing safety and welll being.

[@PhelahLJ]

They have their names taped to their t-shirts because the cameraman didn't know their names. I remember RM said one day they won't need that because people will know their names.

[@stormy7555]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this live performance!!!! Easily one of my favorites. 💜💜

[@amandajatmiko6939]

One of the most fave old BTS’s song!!! Everytime i miss them i listen to this song 💜💜💜

[@catunia]

So you can start learning their names in Korean, they are like this: RM (Has no Korean words so they use just the letters now but back then they used 랩 몬스터 that means Rap Monster, Jin 진 , Suga 슈가, J-Hope 제이홉, Jimin 지민, V 뷔 an d Jungkook 장국.

[@Josieb4008]

I remember when BTS were preparing for their FIRST major concert ANYWHERE. They were so nervous, but Jimin was the most scared bc he didn't like his voice. I was so worried about Jimin, but they all did great 👍🏽! Also, back then Jimin was thick and muscular. He really loved showing off his body to the point that things started getting out of hand and the group intervened to put a stop to it...this was around 2014.

[@binary964]

those papers on their bodies are name tags for camera directors during music shows/live performances rehearsals usually, so they know who is who and who, and who to focus on during their singing/rap parts.

[@psychokitty71]

The signs they were wearing during the dance practice just had their names in Hangul on them. Hangul is the Korean alphabet. The camera operator didn't know their names, so they had to wear their names so the camera operators knew who to film at various parts in the song. I think that live performance was from a muster and they did a lot of their old songs at that time.

[@notcaseykasem5702]

Legit SO FUN! LOVE THESE BABIES

[@jmomm]

Son Sung Deuk (the BTS Performance director!) is the guy in the red sweatpants btw. Background dancer as needed back then.

[@anitralarae_mahjacat]

And Suga Substitute

[@jerrihadding2534]

Wow! I’m watching this on a Monday too - and I’m in Sweden. From my perspective you are an authority on energy, because you sure do have it! You have quite rapidly become one of my (few) favorite responders. I feel, from deep in my heart, your dancing challenges. My parents and my 13 month younger sister were incredible dancers. And then there was me. My first male friend, who was a musician, pulled me out onto the dance floor for the first time I was in a club, assuring me that “everyone can dance”. …only on a later occasion to pronounce “you don’t dance very well.” Still we were partners for 17 years until he died and we went dancing nearly every weekend.

[@andie0922]

I absolutely love watching your reactions! First, thank you for the understanding and support you have shown our seven Kings! I am a Senior ARMY! I love the individual talent of these young men, which propels them into being the amazing group they are today! BTS has had more negativity thrown at them than any other group past through present. Whether the group is Korean, Western, or British. Thank you again for the exceptional job you are doing! Borahae! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@laurielarsen7251]

Anytime people ask how they are so close and dedicated to each other.....go back, start at the beginnings, and see where they started.....the comradery has been built from years of what is shown in these videos. From the very humble dance studio, the very young ages, and their being very new to each other, you can already see their going to be a force to be reckoned with! They all slept in the same dorm room on bunk beds, JK was only 15 when he started, going to middle school, Suga was still working part time delivery jobs as he had no family support at this time, they really were their own support system while chasing their dreams.....No one in the music industry is a greater representation of the quote"blood, sweat and tears" is what got them to where they are today....so proud to be an ARMY!💜

[@erikoenglish1651]

Kpop dance class??? Live performance in Japan as my country. They were singing in Japanese.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jmsj77]

One of my best faves forever

[@magma9696]

I really like your reaction !!!❤💜

[@ideagirl]

A note. Trivia. Their choreographer is one of their backup dancers. When it starts he is on the right in maroon red pants in the back. Then he does move to the front row doing kicks on the floor. Also. If you notice the backup dancers are not young trainees. They are older dancers...who worked for the choreographer. In the beginning the choreographer would use these guys to figure out the choreography. And they would dance and show and teach the choreography to the guys.

[@kesianapalmer2262]

You need to check out their concert in Paris where they had a water fight on stage whilst performing. It is hilarious and so good to see them comfortable and truly passionate about their craft.

[@Zara-be8bh]

Omg I'm soooooo proud of you!!!! I bet you will be awesome.

[@shyfan68]

The back up dancer in the 1st practice wearing black tee & maroon pants..he is wearing white tee & black pants in 2nd practice is Son Sung-deuk, BTS choreographer

[@wizardofrozplays1933]

This was awesome ~ I needed this so much today. Love Attack on Bangtan, especially the live~ You stopping the dance practice to praise Jimin’s shoulders made me laugh so much, but also..same! He DOES! And I think it’s amazing that you are going to take lessons!! I love watching dance and also love to dance myself. I’m not trained..except maybe by all the artists I grew up watching. I'm excited to see you realize you can dance~ 😁💜

[@Bre4458]

GOD Attack on Bangtan is one of my FAVORITE songs. I'm so glad Meg found all of these videos for you AND the bonus practice video!! I'm so glad you had a great time watching, you made my morning at work a little more enjoyable. Thanks John!

LOVE all of this! Favorite J-hope outfit! Dance your heart out!

One of the funniest performance ever 🤣 that niko niko ni was cute 😂💜 the choreo?? Hello! that freaking synchronization?😳

[@flyushkifly]

Holy crap! A dance class is a bold move!

[@MariaChavez-ey5sr]

Jimin agrees his shoulders are amazing because they repel clothing and he’s always shrugging off his jackets etc. YAY dance class! I miss it I need to start dancing again. When they have signs taped to them that almost always means they are practicing or about to do a TV recording and the signs have their names so when they go on stage the stage manager camera director each can make notes about who is in what part of the stage and who/where to pan in on. This song is an eternal favorite and for being one of first songs it encapsulates their talent, fun, silliness, energy just everything we love about them. They let everyone have time being highlighted and the lives are always epic.

[@angie7777-7]

Yea now this is a reaction!!!of all their concerts I would have loved to be at this one! Can u imagine the whole place was partying 🎉

[@SilverSeaOT7]

I am so excited you are going to try dancing out! I trained for ten years in dance when I was much younger. But the most important thing is to just enjoy it. Dance like nobody’s watching as the old saying goes. I don’t really remember how perfect or imperfect my dance steps were. What I do remember is the feeling of freedom and happiness that came with dance. Just enjoy it. You understand music, so you are already a step ahead. (Pun intended.)

[@marialaura827]

Stop!! I LOVE you're taking a dance class!!! Can't wait to watch! Enjoy the process, it's so much fun!

[@yok4209]

ahhh,, so touching to see Son PDnim always dancing with them in their early debut days... Look how they all (BigHit Fam) become so "BIG" now.. Son PDnim is always proud of BTS like a father do for his own kids. Time flies so fast, BTS has even become the coolest uncles of MOA & HOA (Son PDnim children).. really BigHit = Family 💜♾️

[@1964chely]

The tag was their names because in the beginning they didn't know who they where.. Now millions follow the great BTS

[@StarlightStella613]

The signs taped to their chests are their names/stage names written in Hangul. And the place the first practice was in was either the basement of a dance studio they had permission to use, or the basement of the restaurant owner who's restaurant they ate at during the old days. She let them use her basement to practice frequently, and served them food on their breaks.

[@mariepitrat2636]

The dance practice is the Korean version and the live performance is in Japanese, which means the rap and song are in Japanese.

[@aylablue669]

In the dance practise the dude in the cap and burgundy track pants is Son Sungdeuk their choreographer and he often steps in for one of the guys in practises or stage run throughs, travels with them etc. This is honestly one of my fav hype songs of BTS. It’s freakin Great! And the marching choreo is so cool. Jimin is ripped from head to toe. He’s beautiful and manages to be soft and cuddly as well as a total badass, we love that duality. The taped things are their names so they can review dance practises and see from different camera angles where people should be. YES take a dance class! It’ll be so good 🎉

[@angelacastillo4866]

Watching it backwards, seeing the live and then seeing the lyric video, you can't help but be amazed by how clean their handoffs are. I mean, the words just fly off so smoothly you don't even notice someone else picked up from where another left off.

[@echo6159]

Love this one! Boyz with fun is another fun live performance you need to check out

[@annaarwen4345]

YES lets appreciate Jimin's shoulders, particularly his left shoulder which has its own celebrity status and deserves awards. They always try to make a break from confining sleeves 😆

[@Ayesha-ps5ze]

wow so crazy how much they have improved vocally! imagine them perform this now

[@TheKayjay15]

I think they have their names on their shirts and they might send the practice in for shows or planning stages, so that the camera operators and directors can have an idea of what shots to get and who to focus on.

[@amandahedlund4006]

I heard that they trained on treadmills while singing which is why they are able to run all over and still hit those notes just incase no one told you already

Yep, Jimin was a baby shoulder gangster. He studied kendo/geumdo for years and has the typical swordsman’s arms and shoulders. I used to do iaido and just the warm up for sword swinging would leave me with rubber arms when I first started.

Those are their names taped on their shirts...not exactly sure why but you'll see them in a lot of their earlier dance practices. And amazing news on the dance lessons...everyone can learn to dance. You already know rhythm and music so you have an advantage. They run on treadmills while singing, that's how they have so much breath control.

[@its_caraina]

they send this practice to award/music shows so they know how/who to film it during certain parts, that's why they put the names on their shirts

also on newer vids too, especially the festa clips they show practice with their names clipped on for camera crews on those shows

On top of all that you said, another thing that amazes me about this performance and their performances in Japan is that they're singing in a second language?? That they memorize their songs not just in Korean, but also Japanese??? Incredible.

[@lina808waterwings]

Song Sungeuk loves the boys. I would say choreography is his gift. Very early on he was touring countries giving choreography work shops himself. He is in Maroon pants and baseball cap here. Often you will notice him on stage either behind center front...as in DANGER dance battle block B. Other BTS choregraphers Sienna killing it with On and J-hope lalapalooza. Siennas Dance group, the lab. Anyhow I adore Brian Puspous go to Midnight Masters , Snowglobe Studio.
