One thing that really drew me to bts was the messages in their songs, there is a song for every situation

[@JohnReavesLive]

Right?! I’m really starting to see that!

[@d-codebts5749]

Hi ! About the purple whale. The purple color is the official color of the fandom and the whale is a reference to their song "Whalien 52". They wrote it when things were not great, talking about their dream to reach many people whith their songs, but they couldn't be heard. The title of this song is a combination of "Alien" and a whale named "Whale 52". This whale is unique. It was discovered in the 90s and her particularity is that her song is at 52 hertz so low that no other type of whales can hear it. It was surnamed "the most lonely creature in the world". So for me, the purple whale is BTS and ARMY, all in one ^^.

[@marva2772]

Don't let people get you down. There will always be haters, just focus on the positive 😊

🙌🙌 truth! I’ve been learning more and more to be like this!

[@amberpearce710]

@@JohnReavesLive I think one thing that helps is making sure what you want and why you want to do something. As long as you remember those things it helps protect yourself from being hurt or to get over something better. Idk just my opinion though

John, I'm an older ARMY and saying that... you can't imagine how much I look forward to your BTS reactions. Every night I sit down and check to see if you've got a new one and feel excited when you do. You're my favorite. I'm also looking forward to checking out your podcast with "Whatchagot2say", love those guys too. Thank you!

people have said so many negative things to me about loving BTS. but you know what man compared to a lot of current music out there its refreshing to hear the lyrics and music these guys put out. their songs make you feel things, good things. and the deeper you get into their music and their lives and their story you will discover such an amazing group of guys who create amazing music. there's no reason you cant love BTS and metal. I do. But I've always had a tough time in my life and very introverted and I self hate a lot. but having BTS and their music as part of my life makes me feel that i too am important and special although i dont always feel that way. haters going to hate players gonna play. keep rockin

[@djlivvy46]

You sound just like me! My mother was often unkind to me and so were people at my school, then a boss that I worked with for many years. But I survived all of those people, and now I'm working to have a better life. I try not to engage in self hate, because then I would just be doing their work for them. And that is one of the reasons why I love BTS so much, they have been mocked, degraded and discriminated against in so many different ways, but they never gave up no matter what and now they are on top of the world. 💜 That's what I want for all of us - to be on top in our own world. 💖

Idol was the 1st BTS song my husband showed me. (We lived in Korea for a year, and after idol was trending he thought it'd remind me of Korea. It was so chaotic I didn't think I liked it at 1st (1st BTS mv? Yeah show her idol 😂) but I kept coming back to it and more of their songs came out and I learned everything I could about them. I'm 49, got all my kids to Stan as wee. My husband liked some songs but he was yoongi bias.

Lol I don’t blame him! He was my first bias til I learned more about them all

That’s my story almost exactly except it was my 29 year old daughter who played IDOL 1st, there was sooooo much to take in. I felt the same, wasn’t sure about it but NOW. NOW, I listen to it ALL THE TIME! One of my TOPS (I have 30 - 50 TOP FAVS & they alternate to TOP TOP when I watch/listen to them again! POSSESSED!

@@siriuslylucky130 I love it. And even having lived in Korea, and actually knowing what some of the symbolism meant?! Lol I was like omg wtf lol. It was the most chaotic thing I'd ever seen! But now I'm just amazed at how genius it is! Like, almost all kpop mv's are a lot for people to take in because there's usually a lot going on but that one is insane AF and I'm so here for it. And the song is a banger. 💜 Borahae 💜 🙂

[@nolonolo5262]

one of my favorite quotes from RM.....RM said "let the haters hate and let the lovers love" and he said that in Las Vegas Concert in April 2022 to Army...the purple whale in BTS Island in the seom was designed by jin and he explained the meaning of the whale upholding the island. He said that the magical creature was called a Sky Whale and he chose to represent it as the foundation of the BTS universe since as the group has many connections to this specific animal. The whale keeps them grounded even as they soar(meaning the whale is Army)... keep your head up and love your reactions. 💜💜

[@rashisharma5965]

I'm just so excited for this week's finale. Just a lil fact, in the award show when they performed idol. They were dancing so hard and army's were cheering so loudly that literally the chairs in the stadium started vibrating, in the celebrity/idol section. It had all the groups shook. There are fancams on KZbin for proof too....

[@Raynstor.m]

John you are a pretty awesome person! Don’t allow others that are spewing hate get to you because those of us watching think you are awesome. Remember “You can’t stop me lovin’ myself” OHOHOHOHOHOHO 💜🇺🇸

[@stace.G]

Me: Noticing John talking a lot about J-Hope lately.. also me: Get in line ...lol 😄 But Honestly thank you for highlighting J-Hope's incredible talent he's amaJin like the rest of the other members.💜

[@rubygalvezrl]

Idol feels like a celebration or a grand parade. I think this is because all 7 have finally come to terms with their celebrity status and what it meant. 2018 was the most challenging year for them, and this song, I think symbolized their commitment to becoming idols. With their outfits, they were trolling their trolls and haters. Suga wearing snow white because people are mocking his nearly translucent white skin. J-HOPE is being mocked for his lanky body. RM is being trolled because he uses cutesy filters during his livestreams. By embracing these things, they're saying, yeah that's fine, we're that too.

[@imajinallthepurple]

*John, you should really watch XCeleste's explanation video as well for this one.* It'll give you a whole extra layer to the song and mv. Like why Snowwhite on Suga, Bugs on J-Hope, etc. I swear she knows every little detail about these guys! 💜

[@Selande3]

Just had to share that when Anpanman is mentioned, in the choreo they all have different poses. An ARMY made a list of who they were that you might enjoy. Left to right- Jin - Hulk Suga - Wolverine Jimin - Spiderman J-Hope - Anpanman V - Iron Man RM - Captain America Jungkook - Thor

[@MsKaz1000]

[@nickismith8611]

once you listen to more jhope tracks or just more bts rap heavy tracks you'll see that he has always had edge in his music. Jhope is the mastermind behind dionysus if you didn't know, so while i understand why a lot of people were shocked at the aesthetic of More, the actual sound of the song did not surprise me too much lol

[@CowsRdumb]

Man fuck those haters. The army loves you and clearly look happy watching. 💜💜💜🖤🖤🖤Why can't they be happy you're happy?

[@Manueelaa]

Whenever I have some kind of identity crisis and don't know "who I am" anymore - I think about the line from this song: "There are hundreds of me's inside of me , I'm facing a new me again today, It's all me anyway". And then I realize that it's ok. I have different sides to me, I feel different sometimes, I have different interests and that is ok. "It's all me anyway". There is no reason to define who I am, whatever I feel in the moment, it's all me.

[@yoongissmile1759]

it's so crazy to me that they do this super hard choreo and sing live at the same time!! i can't imagine i walk 1 meter and im out of breath thank you for this great reaction 💜 i LOVE that you do all in one video, lyric, mv, explanation, dance practice and live show, thank yoouuuuu

You should check also the live Idol performance at MMA 2018 where they have a special dance break with the 3J's (J-hope, Jimin & JK) with a Korean twists in their production. You will definitely love it. It was an amazing production.

To know that you are not alone and that you have 7 guys who understand you and a fandom that supports you, means the absolute world! I thank BTS and my fellow ARMY ever day for being there and sharing words of encouragement. I hope that we can keep doing the same for you! You matter and what you have to say is worth hearing 💜

[@rhondaulm180]

I love this song! This is one of those songs we are blessed with Jimin's low register growl on. Also like you say Jhope's dance stands out for you.. and it does for me as well, but there is just something about the way Jimin moves that makes it hard for me to take my eyes off of him on stage. He always is just a bit more extra than the other guys when he dances. Also wanted to say I'm really sorry you're getting hate from your 'friends'. 💜 Some ppl just aren't even willing to give them a chance and are happier hanging onto what their preconceived notions of the group are which is fine I guess if they want to continue to miss out on their amazing talent. I just wish they could be respectful of the rest of us and our opinions. One more thing.. idk if you've seen Jhope's Boy Meets Evil yet or not but you should definitely put it on the list if you haven't.

[@sanres2100]

This song in concert is the pinnacle of happiness. The energy of 60,000 people singing at the top of the lungs “you can’t stop me loving myself” is incredible. One of the best experiences I ever had in my life.

[@heatherburke7030]

Loving your reactions! 💜 A few more things I’ve heard about the video which are so cool. A lot of them are doing or wearing things they’ve been criticised for in the past - embracing it all and proving they just don’t care 🙌🏻. RM using filters on his face, Suga being too pale (Snow White), J Hope being too childish and energetic (bugs bunny and the air tube man thing)💜 Also Jimin’s final high kick always kills me 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@jenwinsim]

John this live at PTD concert was so hype! So much energy! Even after so many years since they first performed it. Maybe a little less strictly following the choreo the whole song, but like you say, them feeling it! Them taking turns with the “Ursoos” (sorry if I’m spelling wrong), and those big spins, and the growling, and freaking Jimin gets in the middle and kicks his leg to the freaking moon…seriously his leg gets a thousand feet long 😉 it’s definitely awesome! I love it!

[@teresanike7181]

I like the fact you mentioned Rm starting of the song, but then it continued with hobi and then suga and if you remember both suga and RM really got criticized for leaving underground rap to be in an idol group so yeah it makes sense at least to me they were first up in the song. Its an amazing song because BTS really did have to close their ears to haters and not listen to any of them. I also love their message for us , they maybe singing about them but its also a message too us as well, to be ourself and love who we are and thats important. Anyway thats just my thoughts thanks for you reaction. Oh and Whatcha got to say ( I know I spelled it wrong) but they are great and love BTS and you will enjoy them fully. They have a great following so great you get to speak to them.

Does anyone remember 60s psychedelia? Because that's what this MV always makes me think of - a modern take on 60s psychedelia, with a unique BTS twist. Busy, crazy, colourful... But I love it!💜 On the lighter side - do you think Jimin will ever get through a song,and manage to keep his jacket on his left shoulder? It's like he's in a loosing battle with his clothes. Not that anyone objects💖. And you can always play a fun game of 'When will he show his shoulder?'. Please don't get me wrong, I love Jimin, and I can not take my eyes off him when he dances. He always takes my breath away.💜

Tbh I never watched someone who is that dedicated to exploring Bts! He not only watches the mv but also its explanations, and the live performances and reads the lyrics and doesn't just read them as just any words he knows that each letter there has a meaning. I can see the sincerity in wanting to know more about them! He even heard their solos and started to know their names and faces!

[@angartsnirex]

I hope you can react to SEESAW. Especially when Suga performed it for the first time. The crowd went wild! If you dont check the meaning of the song, you wont think that it's about it because of the bop melody. 💜

[@crystalsnow1138]

I don't understand people hating on music that other people like. I'm not a big fan of the music my best friend listens to but I would never tell her that it sucks because I know it doesn't, it's just not my preference. I know how much she likes it and I can still appreciate it because I know someone spent their time making it and it means something special to them. And I bet most of the people who are hating on you for reacting to BTS know next to nothing about their music or about the group in general. If people can't respect you and what you enjoy they aren't real friends to begin with.

[@sugasmeow]

The purple whale does represent Army. If you haven’t heard Whalien 52, you really have to hear it. No MV, but it is amazing. BTS sings about being out there all alone trying to spread their message. However, Army is there and can hear them.

[@chrissturkenboom6080]

Hi, I liked your honest reaction. Yes, haters are sadly enough everywhere. Just do what you like to do and enjoy your journey. BTS'S ARMY is big and diverse. I'm an older person 62. My first Korean musician liked was Seo Taiji. Then BTS came along and I like RM Suga JHope Jin Jungkook V Jimin equally. Each one of Them is unique. I also like Nightwish (Symphonic metal) from Finland. I know both are so different but, both are good at telling stories through their music/lyrics. I had the luxary of seeing both BTS and Nightwish live. So, so good. Keep on going. Warm greetings from The Netherlands 👍💜🍀🤘💪🇳🇱🌷🤗

But I tell them I’m not embarrassed to love BTS, y’all can make fun of me if you want to but I literally don’t care. And I don’t because I have never been remotely embarrassed or ashamed to be a fan of BTS. I feel like people that say those things just don’t know BTS. So you keep doing what makes you happy & blockout those negative comments! I agree with you I also think those people are unhappy with themselves or with their life. I don’t understand that mindset of criticizing other people’s decisions.

[@B16pal]

I get so much SH** from extended family members and friends for enjoying BTS - these of course are all people who haven't heard any songs by them or know anything about them 🙄 But because BTS is a so-called 'boy-band' of young good-looking men, my family/friends act like typical western bigoted music snobs and assume BTS aren't talented and don't make 'real music' It's depressing, and their negativity can really drag me down sometimes. I totally get where you are coming from. But I just remind myself that there's a wealth of positivity out there in BTS' music (which can always perk me right up) and among KZbin reactors like you who take the time to be open-minded enough to give BTS a few shots and learn about them and come to appreciate their art, talent, and who they are as people and artists. For a while, while I watch your videos, you and reactors like you become my chosen temporary family, so I want to THANK YOU for the positivity you bring to my life. You make a difference for lonely BTS fans like me. Remember that - you make the world a better space for me and others to live in. Please don't let the haters bring you down. Then they win.

[@robwebnoid5763]

Great reaction to Idol. Nice to see you're going to interview with WG2S. I've been watching Nico & the gang for about 4 years now for their BTS content, which is approximately when they started their BTS journey (although I only watch reaction channels on KZbin, not Patreon, Twitch or whatever). BTS is pretty much all they do. Since you asked what might be another possible question to ask them, then how about this... "What would your feelings be if BTS, or any solo, changed up again & turned more rock&roll & metal? Or even NuMetal." They loved "More" & they welcome anything that BTS has done & whatever they will do. Also, John, speaking of podcasts, I would love to see you do podcasts with other metalhead reactors to discuss BTS. I would say the most prominent metal heads that I can think of off the top of my head follows (there are others though) ... - Jim Games (producer & gamer), he is up to date with the Rise of Bangtan series... he is very ARMY. Might be best candidate. - Blake Makes Music (rock producer). - Champ of Medium (knows BTS a lot, part of Gaijin Guys podcast, see below). - Mad Ang (knows BTS, hasn't done many reactions recently). - SeptaSOAREous Rex (metalhead couple new on their BTS journey, has already started Rise of Bangtan). Good candidate. - Infinite Music Reactions (from the UK). - Destructive Media . - Local Band Smokeout (total newbie, recently reacted to "More" but knows nothing of J-Hope nor BTS), maybe not a good candidate yet, if ever, lol. I say this because I follow another podcast with 4 separate channel reactors having come together for a once-a-week podcast because their interest is in J-Rock (Japanese Rock music), with the prominent band that got them together was Band-Maid, which you should also react to. That podcast is Gaijin Guys, which you should check out for ideas, if you should pursue a multi-reactor podcast (about BTS or metal/rock, etc) in the future.

[@MADEbySOUL]

Thank you for sharing your personal struggles with body image. It is important to hear that this struggle affects everyone no matter the sex. As a person who also deals with this issue, I know no matter what I say will just sound to you as "oh she just wants to be nice". So all I will say on it is that I am happy how far you have come. Thank you for your honest reactions and giving our boys a chance. As the world moves forward, it is nice to feel safe in this community.

It's not easy to be a fan of Kpop (and consequently of BTS) because there will always be ignorant and prejudiced people on duty to annoy us with such nonsense to talk about. Know that you will have support that truly understands and understands your taste in music. And those who don't like it - even because they so have to like it and give nothing to their taste and their - patience. 💜

I'm a rock fan John. I love every kinds of genre that can alternate with rock and I grow up like that. But when it comes to BTS, it's different. Of course they have so many song that we can consider as a alternative version of rock (pop rock kind of things) but you know, it's not THE rock. I get criticism for that too. Not my fam or close up friends but the others. Anyways, ther is this saying in my country "who has mouth, they speak" basically, everybodies speak even if they have no thoughts on subjects, it doesn't matter because they have mouths. I hope you have a nice day. And thank you for reaction!

It's hard to block out the voices of people who say things to you that you are already telling yourself. So many of us struggle to love ourselves already. Just remember, for every one voice saying negative things you now how an entire Army who are more than happy to remind you that you are an amazing person. That is one of the side benefits to being a fan of BTS, we have your back. Even if you never did another video, never listened to another BTS song, you are Army and we are here to remind you that you are 100% fantastically you. Keep doing you!

[@bob8675309666]

The people who gave me crap for listening to BTS have been cut out of my life. I never talked about BTS, never tried to get anyone to listen to their music or watch anything relating to them. I kept it all to myself and people still had a problem with me listening to it. The only reason I can think of is because it made me happy and that really sucked for them and their miserable lives. The amount of stress that has been lifted off of me now that they are gone is actually kind of surprising. You don't always notice all of the little ways someone brings you down. You just have to find something important enough to you that you don't want to be separated from it.

I'm thankful I have band mates who's open minded, we did some bts cover making it more pop punk type. We performed it in our univ. pretty awesome experience.

[@muddybudgie]

It’s crazy to me that they get categorised as a “boy band”. All the boy bands I’ve ever experienced are a group where one person can sing and another maybe is there to do high notes. The rest are just to make up the numbers and are kept firmly in the background. BTS couldn’t be more different. Every member is bursting with talent.

Hey John. Thank you for this reaction. Although I first heard about them through Boy with Love, Idol is the song that got me into BTS. I saw them perform Idol on Jimmy Fallon and it was love at first sight (and listen) lol. Although I couldn’t understand most of the lyrics, I heard Jimin clearly say “you can’t stop me loving myself.” I was hooked. Then the lovely Namjoon, the colorful outfits, the spectacular choreo, the energy, the positivity, all of it was overwhelming and awesome at the same time. I love your reactions because they’re thoughtful and thorough. I like the lyric video, dance practice, explanation video then live performance format you’re using. Never mind the haters. Very few people in my real life know I’m Army because I get a lot of sh*t I don’t have time for. I’ll tell them why I love BTS once. But if they don’t get it or at least respect it, then I don’t bother engaging any further. BTS’ message of love yourself has taken over me and I’m not turning back 😁. I’m looking forward to your podcast with Whacha got to say. I love those guys and their enthusiasm. They are, like us, true ARMY 💜

Love the energy on this song ... this one and Anpanman 💜💜💜

[@bryce4521]

I love your videos so much they bring me happiness every time you post don’t let those haters get to you

And yes Jhope gets like that when he dances quite often actually, you can tell he's really feeling the music, etc.... it just radiates off of himself. Its insanely amazing to watch. And yes some of the others do something similiar, such as when you pointed out Jimin showing a more intense side of himself. They all have their own unique ways of showing off that intensity. They show it in each of their own ways, in their own styles! But yes, Hobi's is one of the most amazing to watch, at least in my opinion. But that again, that's just one reason that man is called the "King of Dance" and "King of Performance!"

I love Idol so much, I always listen to this song to help me feel better. And I am so sorry that you have to go through that, I was fortunate to not receive any hate when I became Army but I know plenty people who have and it’s not right. Unfortunately there is jealous and hateful people in every aspect of life. I was bullied a lot when I was younger which used to really effect me and get to me but as I’ve got older I realised that they were just being jealous and hateful and that’s normally because they have been hated on and bullied themselves so they do it to others which is wrong. I know it’s hard but Please try to stay positive, think of all of us who are here for you and who love and care about you. Never change who you are John your awesome. You’re one of us now and we always got your back 💜

[@naturegirl9981]

I’m excited that you’re connecting with other BTS reactors, the guys from WhatchaGottaSay are the first ones I started watching. My question for them is was there anything you found better or was enhanced when you attended a concert compared to just watching videos?

[@siriuslylucky130]

“So cool that they put so much (unexplained) into it”. EVERY one of their works have such DEEP MEANINGS! I’m so glad that I took a looong time to get to know these UNBELIEVABLE YOUNG MEN!

[@mimicorona7193]

One of my favorite songs! thank you!!💜 excited to see Idol perform at MMA!

[@karnisz7292]

Let haters talk, you have Army with you, you have BTS with you, fuck the rest. Be strong man 💗

[@sonyapatricio929]

I am so glad you became part of the ARMY, we take care of our own, I love watching your videos, they are the source of my entertainment, I wait for your videos to drop daily so I can watch them. Don't listen to all of those haters, they are just jealous of ARMY and BTS connection.

[@ginaleonardo5808]

Thank you for praising BTS 💕 I'm a baby army 18 months Army but BTS songs really comforting me. I'm subscribing this channel because I really enjoy watching your reaction videos as always 💕 Keep safe always and God bless 🙏

[@Yui19986]

So get these 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 and remember: haters gonna hate

[@phoenixleo1757]

I am really sorry that u had to go through all that shit... But like you said these are the people who dont have a life or are just downright miserable. And like the rapline say in Cypher pt.4 they really should start loving themselves... From all your BTS reaction videos I've seen, you are great guy!!! Keep going 💜

[@sinevins]

There transitions, in there dance practices, are top tier. And they execute them amazingly!💜💜💜

[@tanyaperez4892]

Haters are gonna hate and their opinions don't matter only yours John. I love many genres of music and different artist and BTS happens to be one of my favorites. I have their music, merch, seen them in concert and make their message of "LOVING MYSEL" as part of my life. I've become more positive, compassionate, patience and grateful because of them so what can be wrong about that? Don't forget you have a whole Army who has your back and we protect our own! This New Jersey girl is sending love and positive vibes all the way to Nashville! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@EVECrowley]

Can’t watch your reaction. It says No Stream Tap to retry but nothing happens. I was so looking forward to this reaction because Idol is the song that introduced me to BTS 😔

[@mdc1746]

Per RM, Let the haters hate and lovers love! Stay true to you, BTS and Army are here to be positive, supportive and spread love to each other. 💜

[@happy2405]

I got to see them perform IDOL live at PTD LA and PTD Las Vegeas. This is easily their best song to perform live because of how energized the stadium becomes when they start singing. Everyone is dancing and jumping and it feels like you're at an insane party. Like the whole place is shaking when this song comes on.

[@sqdtea]

New subscriber here! Love your reactions! Like our beloved BTS, just keep going and ignore the haters! Borahae 💜

[@siriuslylucky130]

South KOREA was NEVER even on my radar UNTIL THESE YOUNG MEN FOUND ME! Now it’s at the TOP OF MY BUCKET LIST: visiting S. KOREA! The colors, the exotic costumes, the MUSIC (BTS & traditional), the food, the cultural differences, so much more!

[@lyndsey7673]

Real Army and BTS bring love not hate!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@ahimethteixeira558]

You don't have to feel sorry or apologetic for doing something you love, enjoy, and bring happiness to your life. If it doesn't negatively affect other people's lives, it's ok. Also, if people avoid, hate, or walk away from you because of your taste in music, it means they never were meant to be by your side. Don't mind other people and enjoy.

[@tamyaz6722]

I'm sorry that you are going through the shaming and hate, you are awesome, so kind and genuinely show love. I hope you know that we love you and your family. All of my children go through depression and anxiety, in fact one of my kiddos has the body dysmorphia as well. All of it is so hard to see your children go though. I have my own set of issues but like you I found BTS when I needed them the most, they are helping me get through one of the toughest times in my life. Epiphany was on one-day and I was singing along like I normally do, but found myself crying, singing 'I'm the one I should love.' I had always put everyone above me including my husband, who now I see that wasn't giving the love I deserved back. We are now separated after being married for over 25 years, it's hard to what feels like starting over but I am happier now. I have my family, my kiddos, BTS and ARMY. 💜

[@sugasmeow]

My favorite live for Idol (besides the 2018 MMA) is the jimmy falon BTS week one. Also, you should watch the video of Idol shaking the stands where other Idols are sitting. It’s very powerful. I’ll post the links in my comments.

[@jademelon7272]

I can't imagine caring enough about what type of music someone else likes, to comment on it, much less take the time to type up a message and click send LOL! Like there would have to be NOTHING going on in my life bwahaha.

[@sinjospeach]

Pardon me, but screw them! Keep doing what you're doing. We appreciate you and support you.

[@alipotter0613]

Sing loudly 'you can't stop me loving myself' as you block those comments/channels! Most BTS videos/events also have a short behind the scenes shooting sketch which are always fund - you see the guys on set being goofy and having fun.💜

[@debrapearson4859]

I have been watching for a while and subscribed a few thousand ago, so I am happy to see you nearly reaching 10000, I don't comment often, but when I hear people are being negative towards fellow ARMY, I tend to get positive. So......I really enjoy all your reactions and like the format you are doing for the award shows across the week. thank you. Looking forward to following your journey.

[@ank5c4]

Yes to everything, but one thing missed - I love the little ''trade off!!'' diss after the line 'Never going to change, never going to trade'. A little diss there at all the trade off's in the industry. Chef's kiss!
