[@butterbuttersbetter3689]

In my 50s I’ve never listened to a ‘boy band’ in my life, and Queen in the 80s is the closest I’ve ever come to fully ‘stanning’ an artist. BTS is special! One of the things, this song on the surface as a stand-alone is just an update pop song about being in love, but it is part of a deeper story/theme across three albums! This is typical of BTS’s music. Their genre and music style goes waaay beyond pop, too. Many songs are pure hip hop, they mix in occasional EDM, ballads, neo soul, some songs which defy genre-labelling, … and every song has something to say.

[@WM20s]

That’s an interesting point. Appreciate you for offering your perspective & thank you for watching

[@sandpiper_ot7]

72-yr old American female here in Texas. I’ve experienced DECADES of music and appreciate most all genres, being a musician myself. BTS is extraordinary in that they have managed to merge existing genres and even create their own. I never really got into “boy bands” per se - actually found them a bit boring. The more you discover about BTS, the more you will understand why they have made such a tremendous impact in the world of music.

[@tracydowd4013]

56 year old BTS American ARMY here. I hear you, I have never been a fan to the level I have with BTS. before this, Queen, and artists like Taylor Swift. Artists that have something to say, that are good people in general. My daughter introduced me to Blackpink, and I started listening to them. They are talented, but I resonate with BTS's message more. The song that made me ARMY was Black Swan. I tried K Pop in general and I couldn't vibe with other groups, but BTS is something different. They go beyond being a K Pop boy band. They are amazing performance artists. Borahae 💜

[@SingaJay]

I'm 53, and most of BTS's fandom is 20-70yr olds! So it's not about looks per se, it's about who they are as human beings first of all. They are genuine, humble and authentic artists who write, compose and produce their own music with messages that resonate with people of all ages. I gave up music years ago because I couldn't stand modern lyrics and the bubble gum type of songs today. Until BTS came along quite unexpectedly. Let me tell you NOT to make the mistake of thinking that these young men are just a 'pop' group. Vulture have said they are the successors of Michael Jackson (yes, you heard that right) than any other artist. Although likened to the Beatles as well. They are making history and with their discography of over 300 + songs in every genre they can't be labelled as K-Pop either. In fact, their early days were hip hop, but their music and style matured into what we see today. I'm going to drop some info on you guys, it's long but easier to put in one place. Hope this will help you out and do take the time to do more reactions. As rap fans the rap line (RM, Suga (as in sugar) and J-Hope) are real MC's (not sure what that is if I'm honest but heard another rapper call them that) so worth your while looking deeper. When you want to find out more about the group: Who are BTS? Please do watch them all as they will give you a different perspective of BTS and their history, one isn't enough to get the full picture. XCeleste Intro to BTS: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZSohHSImtl8b7c and BTS Hardships: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5W8Z6qkgdiYqrM Asian Theory (updated 2021): kzbin.info/www/bejne/amm3lJKPZ7pjisk The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS Ida S: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXi1naSvqtCsaNU; An Intro to the 7 members of BTS (2021) The Rise of Bangtan series of videos (fan made but excellent behind the scenes from pre-debut and ongoing, including history/documentaries re K-Pop and their own vlogs etc. They give an excellent insight into their personalities and really show you their genuineness and authenticity as they speak honestly about what their thoughts/experiences are and what is going on) - it’s now at Ch 21 and also has bonus content and deleted scenes videos so advise you to start these soon if interested. kzbin.info These will give you an idea of who they are and why ARMY (Adorable Representative MC for Youth) love these young men so much! Also Army have no problem with length of videos, we love to follow along and watch your journey. Army will step in to help as long as respect and genuineness is shown. There will always be those that are not genuine Army and some antis will pretend to be to cause division and strife. Just ignore them, Army are a bunch of lovable encouraging people when they sense that someone really wants to get to know our boys. With ages ranging adolescents (even babies!) to mid 70's from all walks of life and backgrounds you are in good hands! A great site for good quality Eng subs for MV’s and especially the LIVES (content added regularly): Enjoy BTS More: kzbin.infovideos Also for an explanation of their MV's Bookish Theory is a good source. Also DKDKTV explanations given by a Korean that us foreigners might miss. Always watch the MV's to the end! It might be a good idea to ask Army for links for the best performances..... some are not as good as others. They also have various versions of their MV's and songs, from the official MV to remixes (B-sides done for Army) and live performances. Dance videos for their choreography can be found at Bangtantv and behind the scenes videos. Just depends how far you want to go, there is a lot. The MV's have a storyline attached but that is better saved for a time when you might want to get to know the members more. Lastly to avoid any copyright strikes just show the Big Hit/Hybe logo at the beginning of all their MV's. NOTE: THE WORD NEGAE MEANS YOU/ME/I - not the word you think! Some misunderstand so best to get this out the way! Songs: TAKE NOTHING AT FACE VALUE! Earlier years to recent. Some early albums are rather political in focus (more hip hop), against the harsh school and work system in S Korea and the views of elders/media etc against the younger generation who don't have a lot of hope of making it even with hard work (S. Korean kids have one of the highest suicide rates in the world, from 10-19yrs old. They study up to 16 hrs a day!). BTS's whole Mission Statement is to stand up for the youth and the underdogs so to speak, also notice the writing under the Big Hit logo (updated recently so see the early MV’s). At this point in time it was suicide for anyone to speak out against the Govt as they would be blacklisted/banned etc, so their courage at such a young age when they'd just started is amazing. Never mind the hatred and disrespect they got from the industry as outsiders as they came from a small company and not one of the Big 3 K-pop Co's. They responded and still respond today with their music. This will also explain their great love for Army and vice versa (Army also disrespected) as they were the only ones who had each other’s backs since day 1. Also they don't have traditional 'love songs' as such. It may appear so on the surface but the message goes deeper, however there are some like War of Hormone which are exceptions to that etc. Mild lyrics regarding teenage boys reactions/feelings to girls and that set off a storm with the haters. Since then they have never sang 'love songs' like those in the West, thank goodness! Early hip hop years to current...

Do not compare them to those boy bands. The only similarities they have is being a boy band and their superficial capabilities but the message of their group and the message in their songs reached out to different demographics out there. Also, the rapping, multiple genres, writing, composing, producing, and not matched by those groups you mentioned. The rappers in this group are the geniuses, the powerhouses when it comes to producing, composing, and writing BTS's songs.

[@Lovmyself]

"... similarities..... their superficial capabilities" ---- actually no, NOT similar: no other boy bands have had rappers, let alone who can RAP Rap, and no other boy bands had such an elite level of complex choreo, and no others have rapped/sung WHILE doing intricate choreography. If "superficial capabilities" is referring to singing and dancing, then it's better to just say singing and dancing in order to not mislead?. I could not disagree more that other boy bands have similar capabilities. So I guess then "non-superficial" capabilities would be their artistry/production and deep lyrics. I know this bc I'm familiar with BTS' greatness, I think maybe you should maybe reword things for newbies?

You just scratched the surface of bts it's like a whole world when you start looking into bts, most people listen to them because of their music first of course but stick with them because of their message because their music and lyrics saved a lot of people's life. Also it's okay if you didn't like this song because they have songs from every genre and since you're a rap fan there's a fun fact about bts: they started as a hip hop group since the first two members were from the underground hiphop in Korea and the third member to join was a street dancer and became a rapper so anyways you will find A LOT of rap songs in their discography. And lastly each member of bts has solo songs and half of them have their own mixtapes while the other half are preparing for their own, they release their solo stuff and mixtapes for FREE on SoundCloud as gifts to their fans , which by the way is called ARMY.

[@hannahali5317]

Kpop gives people a sense of belonging. The reason why it’s blown is that the community consisting of loyal fans go the extra mile to stream and make sure their idols win awards. Kpop very heavily emphasises on the idol fan system every group within the industry has their fandom names, fan chants, light sticks that have trademark colours for individual groups etc. but what draws people into Kpop is the creativity in MVs from the choreography, fashion, storytelling, and addictive melodies not only that but the way Kpop groups interact with their fans by using different apps, creating tv shows, fan-signs etc. this is all to showcase their personalities and to entertain fans

Ya, some people jump into it for the trend, but there are a lot of people that have also been fans for years. For me personally, I have been a fan of BTS for 7 years, and was into J-pop before that. It varies with each person but I know a lot of fans have a real appreciation for the group and their music.

[@mccadd86]

Thank you for the reaction. I have to strongly disagree with the "bandwagon" comment. I got into BTS and K pop organically. I'm a 35-year-old woman from the south side of Chicago. I heard 5-10 seconds of "Boy With Luv" (Suga's part) and was intrigued. Heard a snippet of "Dynamite" from a Samsung commercial and that was enough. I became hooked. I spent over 12 hours straight the next day or so just listening and watching their content. No one around me...I MEAN, NO ONE AROUND ME LISTENS TO BTS, LET ALONE K-POP. It's about having an ear for different music. I've always listened to artists who people I know would have never given a chance. I'm talking Third Eye Blind, Creed, Linkin Park, Elton John, The Beatles, Queen, etc... BTS are EXTRAORDINARY artists. The looks, language, and lyrics are just a few amazing things. Then let's also sprinkle in their personality, hard work, their humility, THEIR STORY. These men are far from any American boy band. I loved N'SYNC growing up, but there is no comparison (laughing hysterically). 🤣🤣🤣 Are BTS attractive? Yes!!!!!!! Is it the reason why we're ARMY? NOOOOO!!! How they look isn't the reason why we're fans. Do you know how many ugly people I'm a fan of? 😏🤣 They love the hell out of us. How many artists do you all listen to care about you? How many of them credit you with 50% of THEIR success? BTS is different. These 7 individually talented men are a different breed of artist. N'SYNC had Justin Timberlake. BTS has BTS. All 7 hit hard and all 7 break records individually...while still in a group.

[@anneheinz3220]

I appreciate your honest reaction! To be honest, I used to think similarly to you guys until not so long ago. I can't speak for other groups of kpop because I don't really know them, but BTS is really something worth discovering. Their discography is HUGE and it's insane how diverse they can be, obviously they have songs that are meant to be more "pop" and that have romantic aspects to them, but they also have a plenty of songs that go beyond that. It's totally ok if you're just interested in seeing the lyrics and production of their songs instead of the dancing, MVs etc. But it's good to know that those have a big role in the whole industry of kpop, once it developed through television instead of radios. So the dancing, visuals and aesthetics of their songs and MVs are kind of like a package and they're made to complement each other. In Korea the kpop industry also receive a lot of criticism because lots of groups don't actually have artistic freedom to make music with messages that are genuine. But even when having a lot of rules to follow, BTS always had this freedom to talk about subjects that they really care about, even before pre debut days. When you stop to see what they actually have to say and how hard they work, it makes sense for why they have such a giant fanbase. Recommendations: > The documentary the Rise of Bangtan (It's great to see how they have started and what are their thoughts about all the process of creating music and practicing etc.) >Spring day MV and the explanation by italian army (it's heartbreaking, but this made me gain so much respect for them.) >UGH! And a explanation video (Explanation videos are essential if you want to understand their rap songs, once a lot of them have plenty of complex korean references.) >Blood, Sweat and Tears and a explanation video. (I LIVE FOR THE SYMBOLISM) >Black Swan >Lie >Stigma ok I'll stop now . Anyway, that's it! Stay well! 💜💜

[@shaylajable1949]

Thanks for this reaction. :) BTS is consisting of three rappers and four vocalists. And all seven of them are excellent dancers. If you guys like rap, you came to the right place. They do a wide variety of music, but basically they are rooted in hip-hop. I recommend We On, Jump, Mic Drop, Cypher 1-4, Daechwita(Agust D 대취타, Suga's solo), Ugh, Interlude : Shadow, DDAENG, Outro : Tear. All seven members are participating in making their songs by writing, composing, and producing them. BTS is from a small company that almost went bankrupt, so they have been very looked down and hated by Korean broadcasting stations and other K-pop fandom. So they have struggled from the beginning to prove themselves. You guys started BTS with DNA, but this song actually has a storyline. I think it would be good to follow the story line. DNA: Joy of fateful love → Fake Love: Realizing that love was a lie → IDOL, Epiphany, The Truth Untold, Answer Love Myself: To love other people completely, you should love yourself first. These are included in Love Yourself Trilogy. The lyrics of BTS' songs are based on their own experiences, and their albums are organic because they contain their growth narrative. It will also be fun to listen to their albums in order and analyze them. :) If you're interested in BTS' MVs, I recommend.... Mic Drop Blood sweat & tears FIRE On kinetic manifesto film Black Swan Save me→I'm fine Daechwita(Agust D 대취타, Suga's solo) All of their music videos provide English subtitles. :) Their lyrics are very deep and beautiful. They make a wide variety of genres of music like Hip-hop, Ballad, R&B, pop, EDM, etc. I'm sure there're quite a few of their 300 songs that suit your taste. :)

I just watched your reaction and you guys are very insightful. I do recommend you try watching Mic Drop, Outro-Tear (live), and Black Swan to give you a better understanding of how versatile BTS is. They are definitely more than just a boy band. They have songs that fit well into every genre. Appreciate you for giving them a chance. 💜

I’m 68 and it’s been many years since I’ve hopped on anybody’s bandwagon. Yes, they are easy on the eyes, but their message…and their love for their fans…and their genuine, humble personalities, topped off by songs that are upbeat and videos that make me smile, those are the reasons I’m such a big fan of this group. If you can’t get past the language barrier, that’s too bad, but your choice. I’d like to see you watch some of the BTS introduction video, and learn who these men are and what they try to put out into the world.

[@MilotusLucifera]

Im pretty sure a lot of kpop that has the good kind of support it does is more like how hard they all have to work, and people want to make all that hard work worth it for them and just to be able to enjoy that stuff. There's actually a huge range that BTS has when it comes to fans, they've got fans of all genders in ages around 60. What BTS does that attracts those people is talk about heavy topics and have huge morality and just how humble they are.

[@mariadelgado4927]

The impact Kpop has is huge. Each person has their reasons for liking Kpop. It's really the work these artists put into their careers, dancing, singing, rapping, stage presence, etc. Many artists from the U.S. do not put as much effort into dancing or music videos, or as perfectionist with their production. BTS is not only famous for their looks or how musically talented they are, They advocate for mental health, self-love, and the strength that comes when rising from defeat. I understand that the language barrier is an important aspect when connecting with music, but what I do, personally, is I watch a video with subtitles to know what the song is about first. This helps me in the future when I listen to the song again I'll have memory for what the song was about. At the end of the day, music has been known to bring people together and Kpop has done that, at least from what I have experienced, Koreans and Non-Koreans bonding.

If you like hip hop i will strongly suggest yall to react to UGH + explanation video, Mic Drop, Cyphers 1-4, HipHop Lover, interlude shadow, persona, and their rapline solo stuff like RM Joke, Agust D daechwita, Agust D Agust D, Jhope Chicken Noodle Soup, and i personally like Agust D D2 album the best especially 28, and Strange.

-I didn’t know who BTS was until I heard a song on my Apple Music and was like wtf but it made me want to check it out. I think for most people it’s a language thing. Either you want to know what they’re saying or you don’t. Personally their lyrics resonates with me. BTS definitely calms me down when I’m feeling self-destructive or when my anxiety and depression gets out of control. As for the people around me I don’t know anyone else that likes or cares about them or their music but my friends have bought me BTS merch because they know I love them.

I loved your honesty... BTS has a huge discography, you can find a lot of genres, even mixed, in their songs: rap, hip hop, trap, R&B, pop, raeggae... Most of their song are deep, talking about social issues (Baepsae, Spine braker, Am I wrong...), motivationals (Paradise, Zero o'clock, Magic shop...), response for haters, philosophical things (Fake love, Blood, sweat and tears, Persona, Shadow, Ego....), mental health... They have more than 400 songs, for every mood. Ah! Some are simply to improve your mood! Like Dynamite, Butter, Permission to dance... Relating to us (Army), well there are a lot of men here too, people from everywhere, every age (I'm Chilean with Brazilian soul, 64yo). What makes us an Army? Their passion for what they do, their love and attention for us, their meaningful lyrics, their personality and especially, their character.

6yr/O and must say that it not about the looks but the message. These young men have fought their way to the top. They were told they weren’t good enough, even their debut was a accident they were a filler for another group that didn’t show up. They group is compose of three rappers and four vocalist. They have music that they perform as a group and individual take a look at Agust D Daechwita, and RM Joke make sure you read the caption these song are both really good.

[@archive2500]

What is wrong with bandwagon though? You check out what is trendy and end up genuinely loving it. Maybe they are just really talented, maybe they serve in multiple aspects? You just saw a single video about K-pop or BTS but already with the hurried conclusions. It is only bandwagon when it is K-pop, you never thought about the modt popular artists in the US right now? That middle guy's opinion is straight-up an argument of ignorance of having the only reason of bandwagon, hence why the others are like confused on what you mean by that and try to give more possibilities why they could be popular.

BTS fans are very diverse in age and gender. The music is what attracted me from the very beginning. Their lyrics has meaning. If you're into their music, then there is no language barrier. Also, if you're into their music, you would take the time to see what they're singing abou naturally. Once you get to know them as people, that's the part that keeps the fans there and support them. The looks iare only a bonus part, not the main reason we love them. Since I see in the title that you're rap fans, you should check out their rap/hip hop songs. There's three rappers in the group and they all also have their solo mixtapes, besides songs together under BTS. Check out UGH, DDAENG, Outro: Tear, Cyphers 1 - 4, and many other songs with rap in it.

There’s so many different things in kpop from amazing choreography’s vocals, idol rappers and even just rappers to songs with amazing messages. I think that’s what makes it pretty cool. There’s so many groups and solo artist within the category and they always come out with something different. I think it’s amazing how we can always expect something different from not all but many different kpop artist. There’s also so many solo artist too. Of course kpop might not be your cup of tea and that’s fine. I just hope that if you are interested then I really recommend to check out other kpop artist if not other songs from Bts. Thank you for the reaction ☺️

I appreciate your reaction. Please do not base your ultimate assessment on one song and possibly miss the discovery of an amazing artist. BTS has composed and produced over 300 songs encompassing several genres. Their roots are in hip hop; however, their musical work and trajectory reflects their periodic growth as individuals and artists. Even though I’m an older fan, I had the same curiosity as you about why BTS was so popular. To be fair to the artists, I began to listen to a variety of their songs. Eventually , I came to appreciate their artistry, their hard work and humbleness, their mission to promote sincere positive messages, in spite of a journey filled with common struggles while gifting us with masterpiece songs. I’ve had the privilege to live through the experience of a BTS concert! An amazing display of talent and a lovefest of artist with the fans. I hope you continue your discovery and reactions. 👍

I appreciate the honest and respectful reaction. As rap fans, I think you would appreciate Daechwita by August D, who is also a member (Suga) of BTS. And the Cyphers by the rap line of BTS. I like that you guys are open-minded and willing to give this genre a listen.
