They were trained to be in sync IN EVERY SEQUENCE, to the point when you pause the vid, you'll see them in perfect and same positions. They always monitor they performances right after and redo if they are not satisfied (even though it's already crisp and solid). They are perfectionists as an artists and I respect them a lot for it.

[@jinlvr]

Exactly! There might be other K-pop groups who are more talented than them, but NO ONE will ever have worked harder than them. They struggled after their debut and before their debut and faced horrible copyright and chart manipulation allegations, but they didn’t let that break them. They all started off with almost no experience in dance, singing, and rap and they each had very disparate talents, but they practiced trained so much and gave up their lives all to put a smile on their few fans’ faces. They deserve every bit of success that comes their way and even more. Their teamwork and desperation to achieve perfection in their production, composition, flow, vocals, and charisma is something that many people belittle when they shouldn’t.

But they are definitely the most talented group in addition to all the hard work. They have the most talented singers, rappers and dancers. And there is no other group anywhere with the amount of talent in writing, composing and producing. Period 💜It is this combination with the hard work and dedication that makes them the most successful group of all time, anywhere.

[@faith6833]

DOPE. . .THE SONG THAT MADE ME AN ARMY!! Just a few things. This was 2015. Two years after debut. JK was 17. At this point, they were struggling big time. Their company was poor. Their dorm was tiny. They still all slept in one room at this point, I think. Their peers openly ridiculed them and told them they were nothing. Look where they are now!! Perfect rags to riches story, at least as far as I am concerned.

THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I HAVE LISTENED TO THIS SONG AND NEVER REALIZED THATS WHAT HE SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@torigoth7487]

The way RM raps "Can I get a little bit of hope" 14:52... The melody is not like he's sincerely asking people to have hope in them. In actual, he doesn't expect it and doesn't need it to work. It's a mocking tune for 'enemies' trying to knock hard/smart-working but 'smaller' people down (masking the act as critique) for fear that their inevitable success would overtake them. A few years after this song, they sure overtook them all. RM, you genius

[@HinataUchihaInuzuka9]

A story about “Dope”: early in their careers (and most notably durin WINGS era, so 2016), they were being treated very badly by award shows and broadcasting networks. This hate stretched even to other groups (who looked down on them) and other fandoms (who discredited them and ARMY). So, "Dope" talks about how they work hard because they didn't have Big Three privilege to kickstart their career, that all of their current (2015) and future success is because they were working hard and practicing and making music instead of clubbing and drinking all the time. It's a flex song that showcases their vocals, their amazing dance, their rap and their honest hard-work. It also welcomes you, the viewer, to BTS because they KNOW that you'll become a fan after watching "Dope”.
 Some notes about Dope: the song actually has a lot of social commentary. The first part of Namjoon's verse is quite deep actually. As everyone can see, it was translated by the channel as this: Given up on 3? Given up on 5? I like number 6, how about giving up on 6? And it can be understood on its own, alluding to having given up after N number of times. But originally in Korean, he said: 3포세대? 5포세대? Sampo Generation? Opo Generation? Sampo Generation (Hangul: 삼포세대; Hanja: 三抛世代; RR: samposedae, “Three giving-up generation”) is a neologism in South Korea referring to a generation that gives up dating, marriage, and having kids. Many of the young generation in South Korea have given up those three things because of social pressures and economical problems such as increasing cost-of-living, tuition payments, and affordable housing scarcity. There is also the oposedae, or “five giving-up generation”, which takes the same three and adds employment and home ownership. 그럼 난 육포가 좋으니까 6포세대 Then, since I like beef jerky, let me be Yookpo Generation Wordplay: Since I like 육포 (肉脯; beef jerky), let me be 6포 (六抛; six giving-up). Both 육포 and 6포 are pronounced yookpo. Then there's chilposedae (7포세대) or Seven giving-up generation that further includes interpersonal relationships and hope. And as everyone can notice, he didn't mention it. He used yookpo sedae or six-giving-up generation instead. That means he hasn't give up on hope yet. It plays with the line "Can I get a little bit of hope?” on the later part of his verse. Sam: Three Oh: Five Yook: Six Chil: Seven Po: Give up Sedae: Generation He criticises how the older generation labels them as lazy and having no will, when in fact millennials are struggling because the economic and social conditions they live in are completely different from their predecessors. Countless hours of studying don't guarantee admission into college and hard work doesn't guarantee a job. Thus, "Dope" is, aside from a flex song about them working hard all the time, a work anthem that celebrates all the effort that youth put in with lyrics like "I reject rejection." Their outfits represent different careers because they are representing their generation and people who work hard.

Fun fact - the high note sung at 17:49 is Jimin in this studio version (even though Jungkook 'mouths' it in the mv), but in the live version Jungkook sings it. So maybe that's why you felt like it was a completely different person (tbh, having been a fan for over 4 years, even I hear that high note as Jimin's voice).

minor detail abt this music video that shouldn't go over un-fact checked btw: the "i gotta make it fire" falsetto is actually a diff member's voice (jimin). they switched lines in the mv but the voice is still theirs. in live perf though, jungkook (the one that lip sync's in the mv) does hit it and kills it too.

[@tracydowd4013]

They were kids when they became trainees, and Suga and RM were 13 when they started rapping, and did underground rap. J-hope was 10 when he started dancing, and he was the youngest to join his dance team when he was doing underground dance. Jungkook was 13 when he became a trainee. RM was 16 when he became a trainee with Big Hit Entertainment, and Suga I think was 18 when he became a trainee in 2010. They were ages 15 to 20 when they all debuted in June of 2013. So yeah, they were young when they started their grind. I mean Jungkook was in Middle school and the guys practically raised him. They all lived together in Seoul, away from their parents, and they were working anywhere from 12 to 16 hours a day, every day. That was their beginnings.

You probably didn’t catch it but that part where “this is Bangtan style” started at 18:36. The vocalists are actually switched. So in that first high note you hear that you kept going back to is actually Jimin singing (red hair) but Jungkook is the one mouthing it in the video and singing it in most live performances and then the part right after is actually Jungkook’s voice but Jimin mouthing it in the video and singing it in most live performances.

[@user-digitalfarmgirl]

DID YOU KNOW , that they stayed up for 24-hours straight, making this video, without sleep. They got 10-minute food breaks & costume change breaks, the rest was promotional photo shoots, between damce sets. Working during their breaks, that is truly the BANGTAN STYLE for you baby!! Woo Hoo!! That is why they REALLY ARE NO.#1.

[@Emotional_oranges]

7:35 most of them got into the industry(either rapping, singing or dancing from 10-15 years old. Rm and suga were rapping in the underground scene at 13, Jhope was dancing at 10, Jimin was dancing at an Eliete dance school as a teenager, and jk got into the company at 15) so they really did spend their entire youth perfecting their craft. In K-pop, most groups don’t get holidays either, especially big groups, they are either preparing an album( most groups do at least 1 mini album/year, up to studio album and a mini album/year) practicing, and practicing some more, doing promotions or going on tour, fanmeets, fashion campaigns(they are all signed to BIG brands, LV, CK, Dior, etc) commercials.. the list goes on). And they’ve been in the game officially for 10 years now…. The amount of hours they’ve put in is actually insane

[@АлександрШестоперов-ш1ч]

ЧОНГУКИ было 13лет.

[@bcsmoma4050]

"I reject rejection". Love that lyric. They knew who they were together from the very beginning. And to your point of they're really a brotherhood & it's hard to imagine they were thinking about breaking up. It wasn't that they weren't getting along (like almost every boy band in Western history), it was more about they'd be rotting in the studio most of every day for 8 years at that point and hardly ever saw their families ...and yes, they'd all given up their teenage years but had already reached a level of global fame they never imagined. A lot of pressure came from that ...the hopes of their entire country were kind of riding on their backs by that time. And their contracts were coming up. In k-pop contracts run for like 7 years so they needed all 7 of them to say ok, let's do this for another 7 years. That's crazy! I actually find it harder to believe they've stayed together. Thankfully, Hybe's giving them the freedom now to get some rest & carve their own paths with different types of music & other endeavors (like Suchwita - love that show!).

[@IThink2Much]

Before Covid, I'd heard about BTS a couple of times, but they looked like a typical boy band. When Dynamite came out, the MV popped up on KZbin. I watched it and then Boy with Luv and it seemed to confirm that they were just an average boy band. Months later Dynamite popped up again and I decided to make sure I had given it a fair shot. I watched it and Boy with Luv again. Yep. It was how I remembered it. Then I decided to watch one more. Dope. It wasn't even the music that got me at first. It was the dancing. I could SEE the amount of hard work that went into the dancing. THIS was no average boy band. Over the course of a few days of consuming everything BTS that I could find, I became ARMY. This was the song that changed everything for me. Because BTS helped me get out of my pandemic funk and my actual decades of depression and inspired me to be a better person. I am always super thankful that I watched one more video.

When you get to "Danger," "Fire," and "Idol," you'll see how well they continue to execute this kind of song. But you should also check out their debut song, "No More Dream," and "Attack on Bangtan."

During this point he's 17. The rest of the boys tried their best to try and make him some sort of childhood with what they were able to do. I love Dope. Dope is the song I found BTS with back in 2015. The first thing that I noticed about them (besides the song) was their dancing. That's what made me curious. So I was really happy when you pumped up their dance sequence in the beginning because that's me every time I rewatch the music video. 2015 and 2016 was a rough point in their careers. Their peers and anti fans made fun of them and campaigned against them all the time. Which is why we're a little overprotective of them. I'm happy about how far they've come and that you've found them and are able to enjoy the music they put their blood sweat and tears into.

Omygoodness you're literally making me relive the feeling of the moment when i first discovered bts and watching their vids for the first time😭💜💜💜💜

[@kafjaf6387]

They were so young and so determined and so awesome! Great reaction - I love how you look beyond the surface of the sound and image to get to the gold underneath - also your homage to The Temptations made me very happy.🥰💜

[@jhenesyvaleriabent5574]

One of my favorite reactors ever, I really appreciate your input in their work so thank you

[@kornmom6]

You are so crazy GameBoyy310, I love your reaction

[@gjcheng]

I really love what you choose to pause and share and highlight! Your reactions are so genuine! I really enjoy watching you become ARMY 💜💜💜💜

[@pcastro9366]

Thank you for your reaction! You really do embrace every aspect of BTS's music from the instruments used, the beats, the choreo and the lyrics that talk about feelings and emotions....and find commonality with what you experienced and your knowledge!

[@cathieguillen37]

So many comments, but did anyone mention that it was not pee-wee Herman that V was dressed up as, but Bill Nye, the science guy (wish I could attach a picture, LOL)… Also, JK was a police officer that always had to use his fingers as pistols when he sang, “fire”… Clever, LOL. GAMEBOY- Jimin is the one with red hair (teacher?) in this video, that had the blue hair in “On” video, and sang “Serendipity” (with bubbles in the live)..His voice is ethereal, very distinct and unique isn’t it? They are all so talented. Thank you for featuring so many of their songs. Welcome to the rabbit hole that is BTS, so many amazing songs and then each member’s solo works. I enjoy listening to your input and agree to the Jackson references, BTS does a lot of his moves and respect his works too.

[@LynnHermione]

Isn't he dressed as Conan from Case Closed?

[@Cherryheart0808]

If you loved this please check out the live performance coz they are really dope live not to mention JKs live high note with their full choreo. You’ll love it!

[@snowscythe]

So happy to see you back! Thank you for another detailed reaction. The voice on "I gotta make it fire" is Jungkook, who has one of the most precise and versatile voices in pop. Since their debut, he's been known as the lead vocalist of BTS (although all four of the vocalists are amazing), and for good reason.

[@mariaisabel-dl1gc]

lmaoooo 19:39 im genuinely laughing so much. As always I love your reactions! glad to have you back. If you can, check mic drop out out too you'll love it 🤣

[@SusieQ1955]

I totally love your reactions!! The guy in shorts,represents a teacher - everyone wears uniforms to school over there. The shorts are a bit extra for a teacher, but you get the point.

[@colettemr]

Prior to BTS, the Temptations was my fav group. Many don't understand the things the Temptation began for musicians. Choreo AND singing, the group mic setup...etc.

[@christinesaddul6275]

Your reactions are MY FAVORITE! You GET IT! Thank you!!!! 😆🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@taequilasilver7183]

oh i think this song needs an explanation video, it would be good if you watch an analysis of the lyrics because it is really good and it talks about korean society and the different generations, of course you don’t need to make a reaction, but i think these lyrics are a proof of why Bangtan is different and what sets them apart since their debut days

[@luisajeon6279]

I agree, the lyrics are one of my favorites. I remember korean music shows censored some parts of the song for being "too explicit" and "vulgar" 😂

[@taequilasilver7183]

@@luisajeon6279 iconic song

[@Rox7ne]

Lol BTS (Hobi's verse) censored themselves by chanting their dogs' names. It was iconic and hilarious 😂👏🏻

[@hrgogfilms]

In terms of shit talking, they are the GOATS lol. They did a music show performance back around this time with some straight up insane choreography and production, but when it was filmed by the show, the camera work completely diminished and didn’t show so much of what they worked their asses off preparing. So their company created this video showing how fucking amazing they look when you just put a little bit of thought into the overall production and camera work. It was really what wowed me when I first started listening to them. The company at the time was small and did not have near the resources that many of their peers did, but they worked twice as hard as everyone to show that even if they didn’t have what others did, they had 10x the passion, talent, and drive. They consistently put out some of the best work in the industry and make sure everyone knows just how fucking hard they work everyday to get there. This video has such “if y’all won’t do the work we’ll do it ourselves” energy and it still gets me pumped every time I watch it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWK4oWCQr62gq9k Also I echo everyone saying watch Baepsae (silver spoon)!! It definitely has the same message of “I worked really fucking hard to get where I am, and I’m proud of that.” If there is one thing they will always, always do well is TALK THEIR SHIT!! TYO!! I would def buy a shirt that said that lol.

[@hazyB253]

Welcome back!! You’re one of my favorite reactors of BTS content. I am always eager to see your reactions because I can see how much you really do appreciate every aspect of the songs and pay attention to the small details of the videos, Choreography and of course the lyrics!! That was Jung Kook with that awesome high note you loved!! It truly was DOPE!!! I look forward to more of your reactions!! Keep them coming!!

[@deniseBTSOT7]

And just think, they were kids. Their growth since then is phenomenal. I mean they're representing fashion houses (Dior, Louis V, Bottega Veneta, Calvin Klein, Celine, Valentino), jewelry houses (Cartier, Tiffany), SimInvest, Samsung, Hyundai, the NBA (Suga). When Jin is released we think it might be Thom Browne for him. Louis and Celine both fought for a year to get Jhope and V, respectively. They were all under Louis V at one point but when their contract was over, during Chapter 2, they were pursued, I'll say it again, PURSUED. Deservedly. Did you know that V was named the IDOL of IDOLS. He's so beautiful and a sweet guy. Now Suga with Suchwita has a hit on his hands. Is there nothing they can't do, nope. That's dope.

[@leorio1231]

You're actually hilarious I get so hype when you post these videos. Then energy you bring is unmatched glad you love these as much as I did!!! Dope is indeed SO DOPE😂😂❤ much love, can't wait to see more brother🙏

[@Sherry-p7f]

DOPE was the entry song for me in to all things BTS! Never looked back. Your reactions at 12:04, 17:40 & 19:27 are errthing! 😉

[@Balikhepri]

You should here him do that high note live it’s amazing. Miss ya so happy u did this song another anthem I love it💜💜💜

[@G.Rudi.B]

That’s what they’re telling me…Live version is on point

[@SusieQ1955]

J-Hope is the dance leader. He has a sharp eye, is detailed, they rewind sometimes frame by frame to get everything in sync. They were very young here, jungkook maybe 17? They practiced 12 hours a day.

[@AGU_STD]

That "I gotta make it fire baby" was Jungkook's part.😆

[@aquamarine7506]

I swear if you go through a video without a phone call I'd say it was going against tradition 😂💜

[@ipurple_7]

Welcome baaack!!

[@yareth_v]

I LOVE THIS REACTION! I got excited again, this song has one of the best choreographies! Literally DOPE!!!

[@derwgkj-yk5zi]

Este chico sabe apreciar la buena música,

[@Joeyjoejo1306]

So earlier this year I got to watch their 2022 busan concert in cinema and dope was part of the tracklist. I was one of only 2 guys in our particular screening (2pm om a Saturday so it was only about half full). It's not quite the same as being at a concert live but you are surrounded by people singing and cheering. But when dope came on and the second verse swung around, I gotta wonder if anyone was shocked to just here a deep male voice bellow out at the top of his long ENEMY ENEMY ENEMY and ENERGY ENERGU ENERGY. Such a great experience. If you ever want another high energy one that goes off at concerts, strongly recommend Idol

[@emkay4182]

Loved this video! If you would like something similar, I really recommend Baepsae, also known as Silver spoon. I also think you would like Run BTS, Fire, Dionysus, Not Today and Attack on Bangtan. They are also amazing live, so I really recommend watching the live performances as well, at least the performances of Run BTS, Dionysus and Attack on Bangtan. They're probably my favorite live performances of theirs. Looking forward to your next video!

[@Melody-zu4gx]

You should watch their dope, baepsae, fire, run medley performance its SO good. Now that's you've seen most of these songs you just have to know how HARD they go live (like the band is so good I live how they remix songs, and the energy is insane)

[@Puffy_7]

I knew you would like dope!!! One of my favorite songs of theirs! I love watching your reactions cause you see everything we do all the details we get excited over and then you also bring a more technical detail to it which helps me appreciate their music even more! I obviously listen to them but you help me break down and listen to individual parts of the beat and the instrumental underneath that helps give a better view to the entire song. As always love your reactions fam!

[@jacquiahearn253]

They call JK a vocal chameleon. For a long time, according to the members, he did basically nothing but sing to practice. Constantly. They all have crazy range and ability but JK in particular has a pretty great ability to mimic any sound. In Baepsae/Silver Spoon he has a line that (to me!) sounds exactly like Suga, I mean I was shocked when I realized it wasn’t Suga! And yeah, they have the tightest bond. They’re really brothers. Matching tattoos and all. They love each other so much.

[@thvbluesky]

Although the song's title is Dope which is Jjeoleo (pronounced cho-rro) in korean has two meanings and it also stands for to sing with sweat. If you listen to the song with the second meaning, you will understand how they were able to reach the Dope.of today by practicing hard until midnight while being drenched in sweat.

[@Dylan23_ha]

Thanks for the explanation. Amazing how I can always learn something new about them and their work despite being ARMY for several years now.

[@sherryluvsbts]

You are so fun to watch. Something else that impresses me about them is that they rehearse their entire show the morning of every show. Like I don't know if that's normal or not, but I doubt that it is. But every damn show, no matter how many times they've done it. This is why they are always flawless.

[@tebohomohamed6717]

So happy to see you back !!!

[@Pumpkingcarver]

I’m enjoying your reactions. I feel like your voicing what I felt when I first met them

[@sopeminaddict626]

You have become my favorite bangtan reactor. Its like you articulate what I can't in relation to the beats, the choreo, the ad libs, the vocals. Dope was my second song after black swan that grabbed me by my neck and was like "you're army now." lol

[@G.Rudi.B]

Lmao😂by the neck huh??😂🙌🏾

[@valaxel2803]

This is what separate BTS from the others. Almost all of their songs are their personal stories, if not it's them being realistic about their views of our society and world. So when I stumbled on people questioning why lot of people loves BTS? Btch, they got good music is enough reason to be proud of them. But if you will just give enough time to know them? Gosh, its life changing. They're all talented and hardworking. Remain true and humble all these years. So you can see why they have the biggest fandom and the most loyal ones because we all know how they deserve these support and love they're having right now.

[@lilicamarillo3686]

Sí, Dope es una locura, realmente te sientes inmerso en el video y es taan divertido que no lo ves pasar. Mil gracias por reaccionar a esto! ILY✨️

[@sisyvirginiavalladaresvill8206]

man! I have enjoyed your video, your reactions, I have laughed a lot with you, man. I agreed with everything you said and you're my favorite reactor now. If you watch the dance practice of this song you'll hear even the sound of their feet in sync...that's crazy!

[@kimpaschall466]

Hey, welcome back! This is one of my many favorites. This and Black Swan are the two songs that pulled me down the rabbit hole. You should check out "No More Dreams" ( their debut song). JK said recently (on Suga's show "Suchwita") he hates watching it because he didn't know what he was doing then so he just looked silly. OR watch "Bulletproof Pt 2" OR "N.O. other earlier songs. Enjoy your journey, there's so much to see. APOBANGPO! 💜

[@samwheat7400]

theres compilations of JK doing the high "I gotta make it fire, baby" part and some of them he puts extra STANK on it, like theres one famous one where he looked PISSED and it was so raw and raspy, his vocal range is NUTS

[@Janyses]

Yeah, since JK sings the high note live (and lip syncs it here,) I think most armies don't know. Took me forever to realize it's actually JK saying "This is Bangtan syle."
