I attended that concert where Namjoon spoke of loving himself....it was one of the most moving moments of my life. I have attended 3 BTS concerts and they are the best I have ever seen and I'm 53. I've seen many...but I have never seen performances like theirs and on top of that they create such a positive environment. Their concerts are like a communion. It fills you with such love and joy. I hope you can experience it someday. I think going back to the beginning will give you a good feel for how they have changed over the years. I love that most. They evolve with their music as they grow as humans. In the beginning they started out as a more hip hop group and evolved. I love a lot of their older music as much as the new. They honestly make all hits. You'll be hard pressed to find any skips on their albums. Some of my favs are: Dark and Wild HYYH pts. 1&2 Love Yourself Tear Enjoy! BTS Hardships and Struggles by XCeleste goes into the trouble they had a bit more.

[@sugasmeow]

In 2018, my 14 yo daughter came and asked me to watch a MV with her. After watching, I said to myself that I should do this with her as a bonding thing. But in actuality, I’m now the bigger BTS fan. I’m 49 years old. I gave up on listening to music because of all the negativity and sexualization. But BTS gave me music back. They gave me rap back. Kids need to hear about loving themselves today more than ever before. I teach third grade and we only listen to BTS in my classroom. I’m ARMY forever.

[@myabditory5363]

Since being an ARMY I have learned so much about the shadiness of journalism and media at times. There is rampant xenophobia and racism. I’ve learned to research things myself before following what an article says. I’ve seen major news channels and respected magazines do little to no research or use gossip as their main sources. I’ve learned a lot about radio play too and the whole mess that is. Being an ARMY means you have to be amazing at carving a new path to get them recognized. I remember we put up flyers in 2016 all over cities, did QR code posters, sent radio djs flowers for playing the guys. We had to be a promoter to help them break in to the West. It was a lot of work and it really opens your eyes to way the industry really is.

[@khushipandit2719]

armys are the best ,

[@Hotshortie]

Remember when we first started out that we are all bunched together with KPOP. BTS didn't go out parting or drugging but they would get lumped into stories about the under belly of Kpop. I hated that. Here they were working hard and the reporter instead of reporting on them, they would tell this stupid how kpop is a factory story, that was NOT BTS' story.

[@claryfray2634]

I agree with you 100% it only takes few minutes of research to understand even a little why they are so popular yet many dismisses them right away because they are from another country & speak a foreign language.. thank you so much 😊

Xenophobia. It’s very much alive here in Australia mainstream media. No problem with Europeans, Americans or Latinos artists but don’t see them talking or acknowledging BTS even though they are breaking impressive records.

[@ixdfree_lz5804]

[@zoeelovee2]

fun fact: broadcast once cut their performance and even though they did that they went performed for the ARMYs that showed up even though the stage was covered in confetti from the other performances and they were shutting off the lights and such. k-army were living tweeting about it as the rest of army was confused why bts wasn’t performing and they were tweeting what do you mean they are on right now?

[@emierousselot3569]

I havent heard that story. Do you have a link where I could learn more...something that shows clips or more details?

[@bangwoolyoongi]

Yes I know this, some k-army were at home and waiting for bts performance's turn (The show was live, I guess?), I can't remember that story clearly but I think they are chatting or something, then that army said the show just ended, then the other was confused because bts is currently performing that time.

[@aninditanurul1719]

if i remember correctly it was the Busan One Asia Festival back in 2016. The broadcast was shut off after psy, bts was supposed to perform after him. The stage was full of confetti and not all the lights turn on, only the super bright main light turned on, no spotlight programmed for their stage. please cmiiw

[@lilyduck4538]

You'll begin to see that tagline 'screaming' everywhere for bts, 'fans' is never said without 'screaming fans' as if any crowd at a concert is quiet, but they include it, always include it as a part of their 'subtle' believe that bts fans are hysterical children

I am 52 years old and come from 🇩🇪 Germany. There is nothing better like being an ARMY. Last year I went to BTS Concert at Wembley. It was sooooooo fantastic. Love your reactions 💜

[@csong9940]

People have this perception that we’re all teen girl obsessing over cute boys but as you said, anyone who takes just 15 minutes to do some research will understand why they have such a huge following. BTS has a mission: to go through life as young people and to protect them from the criticism of the older generations. They emphasize hard work but for a purpose - finding your passion. Along the way the comfort us with their music when we are sad, they encourage us to keep trying when we feel hopeless. The bond between BTS and ARMY is almost symbiotic. There is no Western equivalent of this phenomenon.

[@norilcamelia1602]

So true! I can say that BTS helped me a lot during my school days until now, and they even helped me find what I want to do after graduating from high school, and now I'm a law student and hopefully can graduate very soon.

Starting from the beginning would be good. However, their new album “BE” is being released on 11/20/2020. There will be pre-release trailers and clips coming soon as well as at least one new MV, so I’m sure you would want to react to those. So maybe start from beginning, take breaks when new comes, then resume with older things. Then eventually you will be caught up. If you don’t follow their youtube channels Big Hit Labels and BangtanTv, and their twitter accounts @BTS_twt and @bts_bighit you may want to so you know when things are happening.

[@zzzzz3230]

[@justmii4887]

my grandma once told me: "the best way to put someone in their place is the right way" and bts has put haters in their place the right way. they are the best.

[@WhatTheUGH]

I haven’t heard ANY reactors (or any yt channels discovering them) ever offer to hear their music in order 🥺 that’s so touching. Yes! That would also be amazing. The other xCeleste videos (karma is an army, and hardships..) are also very good if you want to break btw MVs. Thank you!

[@downtherabbithole9143]

I know one other channel that went in order for the storyline. I think going in order is good once you know enough to follow the BU ( Bangtan Universe) storyline. Could be a bit early...

[@jeccalovelive1127]

You should watch Landon Mark videos 😂🥰 He first reacted to MOTS:7 full album and then researched and went back ! He just finished the HYYH era ! He goes in order from album reviews with the music and lyrics (doolset) , to music videos, to live performance and dance practices. He even made a road map... insane for a reactor. I recommend Him 100% if you want to see the growth ^^

[@pepnstep5184]

I would recommend Landon Mark. He created a whole road map (which was recently featured in a NY times article) after he listened to MOTS:7. He's currently on the Youth album and getting close to Wings :D

[@houseofalex]

Landon Mark is one of the most organized reactor i've ever seen on YT. I love his approach, he's re-living the journey of an OG Army

[@Athy12-12]

You should check out Landon Mark, he first reacted to MOTS:7 entire album and he had prepared all the lyrics, the members names etc then he made a road map and went back to react to each album from the beginning with all the Lives, MVs of each album. He's the most organized reactor I've ever seen

[@bulletproofdreamers8541]

Hmmm I think, personally, I would say start from the beginning. I think that would give you the best "story telling" experience so to speak. Starting from their first album lets you watch them grow as artists!

[@victoriamassengale77]

Everyone has their own BTS journey so I feel like you should really go which ever way you want to go. Discover which of their music you like and which songs you connect with.I am really amazed with how you are actually digesting this and your comments on how people should do their research bc it is so true. Also I’m glad you’re not just reacting to a bunch of their videos all at once bc I have seen so many people on here just do that for the views and the clout,unfortunately a lot of ARMYs buy into it. I prefer watching people who are honest(even if they don’t like one of the videos or songs) I want to see that ya know. And a lot of People dismiss them so easily or they like to say everything they have is bc of their fans which in a roundabout way discredits them as artist. They always want to talk about ARMYs but don’t want to discuss why ARMY is so dedicated and huge. It’s bc of the quality of art that they put out. It’s their lyrics and the message they send through those lyrics. It’s their passion as artist that make us want to see what they will create next! Also they are having a comeback in Nov 20th and you don’t want to miss it,comebacks are so fun bc ARMYs all gather to watch and listen together. Then we discuss the lyrics,break down the music and talk about what it means to us and we are reminded all over again how even though we are all different and far apart we are connected to each other and to BTS. These gentlemen are truly a once in a lifetime artist.

[@malinstalheim]

Their discography is massive, over 200+ songs including their mixtapes, solo work and collabs. So I would maybe recommend doing their music videos in order first, before tapping into the rest of their dicography. Their MVs will give you a good starting point to their songs and messages. Just to give you a heads up as well, a lot of their MVs are a part of an intricate and deep storyline starting in 2015 with "I need you" until this day, which is called the BU (BTS Universe). Of course you can choose to first react to their MVs witout diving into the storyline, but if you decide to start it I would really recommend being sure you do the MVs and other storyline related videoes in the right order. I wont list the order here, but just ask ARMY and we'll give you the list when you're ready!

[@ashleyder9164]

I sort of agree, but at the same time, there are a lot of amaaaaaaaaazing songs without MV's, so I think he should still be open to requests for lives or lyric videos.

[@malinstalheim]

@@ashleyder9164 Totally. Most of my favourite songs are all b-sides, but for the sake of starting ‘somewhere’ I think MVs gives a good overview of their discography before discoverig the rest of their amazing songs!

[@annreign2556]

You've hit the nail on right on the head. It's always baffled me how coverage on bts has always been so ignorant. Especially when there's so much material that basically spells it out for newcomers. Anyone who takes just a little bit of time to understand why they are so big would find a million reasons right in front of them. I think it's prejudice and an unwillingness to explore something foreign. They faced a lot of hurdles even within korea. They showed all the hallmarks of success right from the start and I think that scared the big companies and their groups' fandoms because it doesn't make sense to put that much effort to tear a group from a little company down unless you're afraid of how big they'll become if they are left to grow. The hatred against them was really malicious and quite revolting honestly. I think exploring their discography from the beginning would be great as their discography tracks their journey and growth. You'll really get to see their evolution. Their lyricism is absolutely incredible and it's amazing to see the intertextual references made across their huge body of music.

Going in chronological order is a great idea- although keep in mind there is A LOT (also don't forget the mixtapes like RM, Agust D, Hopeworld, Mono, D-2). Their work is often self-referential and so by knowing from where they came can give you a much deeper appreciation for their artistry and lyrics.

[@Mindhunter64]

I’m 56 and adore BTS! I’m holding my concert ticket for their Orlando concert,that was postponed due to COVID, near my heart. 💜 I have 2 sons 23 and 26 and they know they have 7 brothers that live in South Korea. They always ask me how their brothers are doing? I’ve never in my 56 years loved an artist as much as I love BTS. They have a lot of videos on KZbin that I call crack videos that show the personalities of BTS doing crazy things. No western artists give access to their fans like BTS does.

[@irokimaori6426]

Personally speaking, you can start from their older music, just so you can actually see how much they progressed since then to now. Of course not only the improvement but also their journey finding their own unique sound and ideology in music. I always feel proud when I see how much their "musical colors" have changed over the years. And not the bad change, but the kind of change where you can say, "wow they finally found themselves, learned to embrace and love themselves and learned to accept themselves, both the good side and bad side of themselves... 😢🥰 But of course whatever's more comfy for you 😅 we don't want you getting too pressured by all our suggestions. BTS has a lot-and I mean A LOT-of content, other BTS reactors have already ran more than two years doing reactions and they haven't covered everything still 😂😂😂 Just go at your own pace 😉

[@voiciterre3571]

I love that you watched this background before seeing a lot of music videos etc, because now that you know about their journey it'll be easier for you to follow all the references and symbolism in their content! Their live performances and MVs are always great, but they also post studio dance practice videos for most of their songs which show a whole other side to them behind the scenes! Some faves from their early career are Dope, Fire, Not Today. What really sets them apart from other performers these days is the fact that BTS not only writes and produces most of their own music but they are seriously dedicated to dancing/performing their hearts out. So much energy and talent from these guys, can't wait to see you react to more!

[@lynziet1731]

I absolutely love your reactions to our guys!! I appreciate your sincere thoughts and how you take moments to pause and discus the things that you are seeing. And, I'm sure that many of us would love to see you start from their beginnings. Even in their early years they tackled taboo and difficult subjects. (Hidden along side of the usual school boy crush songs were messages about fighting Social injustice, the corrupt school system, and political struggles that Korean youth faced) Yes, they are far more than just a talented group of performers. They are humble, kind, and care so much about each other as well as their fans! Honestly, I have never encountered a group that gives back so much more than what they receive from their fans. (And, Without ever asking for anything in return) It's truly an amazing experience to be a part of BTSxARMY 😊 There is a saying within the fandom: You don't find BTS, BTS finds you when you need them the most. Like myself, millions of fans around the world have their own stories of inspiration that were motivated by this group of modest and creative individuals. I am so excited to follow your journey as you learn more about them. Also, Fun fact: My grandmother just celebrated her 87th birthday and is a huge BTS fan. Before covid hit, we were scheduled to see them this past May in Orlando. She is still waiting patiently for conditions to improve so that we may attend a showing, as It will be her first time ever going to a concert.

Thank you. Thank you so much for your reaction. It was so nice to see someone giving such an informative and balanced reaction. I have been a proud ARMY since I discovered them purely by accident when I saw their pre debut blogs. Even then, something caught my imagination. I have been there with them as they struggled and suffered so much early on and it was heartbreaking. To see them now finally getting the attention they deserve is so humbling and makes me feel so proud. You are correct in a way - fans from other groups were angry when they started gaining success as they felt their groups were being pushed out. I am not what many people assume is a typical fan - I am 60 years old, married with a grown daughter(also ARMY). I have been lucky to see them live in concert and it was like nothing I have ever seen before or since. These incredibly talented humble young men have shown the world that every single person is precious, is special and I think that message alone is what sets them apart. I think you should at least look into their early work and their progression, even if you just choose a song or 2 from each album. Seeing their music evolve as they themselves grow and change is part of understanding them. It would take you a life time to cover all the content out there, but remember that ARMY is always here beside you on your journey ready to answer any questions. Once again thanks for the genuine reaction. It was refreshing to see. 💜💜🇦🇺

They are truely amazing , I am a 48 old mum who loves BTS. It’s great to hang out with my daughters and talk and watch BTS. Please watch Namjoons speech at the UN it will leave you speechless

[@Koosyoyo]

They have an extensive discography. I’m talking hundreds of songs. It would take forever to start from the beginning and you’d take too long to get a sense of who they were as artists as well as who they are now so I recommend you listen to the hits but also a couple B sides from each album first and then go back and listen to everything whenever you want. IMO their best music isn’t their hits. Their hits are made with the mindset of creating a crazy performance around the song. The choreography is the star in that scenario, their B side is where their artistry shines the most IMO. that being said even more than their music I would recommend you react to some live performances of the guys, their music is amazing but they really are THE best performers of our generation, everything from the choreo to the energy and stage presence is just out of this world. As well as how perfect their vocals are. The recent performances on Jinny Fallon are great, tiny desk and radio.com appearances are recent standouts 💜 As for older performances I really recommend Euphoria live in Seoul (the final) serendipity from wembley Truth untold stage mix by kamiru Let go stage mix Sring day at Kcon 2017 in Mexico Black swan stage mix by G6 And if ur gonna do their hits def react to the music videos to kill 2 birds with one stone

[@krystinblack7628]

Their hits aren't made with the mindset of crazy performances, their title tracks are made to fully capture the essence of each album's main story and concept. And they're just as good as the bsides. Lyrically and musically, plus the choreography is meant to showcase a story. Most of their songs in general are made with the intent to perform (I believe namjoon said this in an album behind vlive) but their focus is to create a clear concept with the title track that the rest of the album supports. So the title tracks are extremely important and plus they're really good.

I really want to thank you for taking the time to learn more about them and getting the bigger picture about their message. I love your reactions and everything you have to comment. As for how to take the BTS journey, it really depends on you. Of course their style and maturity and messages have developed and changed with their growth, and they some times drop lyrical references to their older songs as a nod to it which you might not catch otherwise but it doesn't hinder your experience. There is also a storyline set in an alternate reality running through their music videos known as the BU (BTS Universe) which brings hours of Army theorising.

[@reveleneflores4986]

I just watched your videos about BTS and what you said in this video made my heart happy. Thank you for appreciating them. As a fan since 2013, it's really beautiful to see their growth as an Artist and as a person. They are really talented and inspiring artists since then. So it's a really good thing to start from the first album because it's shows their growth and their story as they grow older. More power to you.!!! FIGHTING!!!

[@downtherabbithole9143]

I really like your reactions. You seem to have the reactions of an ARMY in the making. Yes it’s other fandoms and bigoted people who tear BTS down. It still happens. BTS and Big Hit are so wise. They don’t buy into the BS and argue... they take the high ground. The guys address haters in some ‘out of this world’ raps. Big Hit is now in a position to straight up sue people who abuse BTS... and they do. They’ve had enough of the unwarranted hate. While I love the idea of you starting from scratch with their discography I think you probably need to know that a couple of albums in, an alternate universe storyline begins and it’s quite complex. It’s called the BU, short for Bangtan Universe. I wonder if it’s a bit early to go there. I’d love you to watch their first two songs No more Dream and We are Bulletproof pt 2 to see their hip hop origins but then cherry pick by asking ARMY to recommend favourite raps, solos, ballads, bangers, mvs, live performances. Get a cross section of genres. Once you have seen a few ask us to give you the BU order of videos. My brain exploded when I got into it. Whatever you do will be fine though.... I’ll watch any amount of BTS in any order! PS I’m 60 and my fellow ARMY I have met in my town are all ages, genders, ethnicities, sexual orientation, abilities etc. ARMY is diverse and numbers approx 6 times the population of my country!

[@jci703]

*the kpop industry is really crazy, BTS are really the underdogs*

[@divyaswethabhatta6528]

Go through all their albums in order. It is going to be a wild ride! You will love it!!!!

[@sophiavorcesha1460]

1:13 yes. Reviewing from the first album in each video would be great 😀. So you can feel their growth~ And they have many great B sides too. Especially the lyrics! And bc their songs in each albums always tells some kind of a story and it connects to the next albums and so on. For a glips watch *BTS Crash Course 2020: history and music of world sensation by SUGA and spice channel* Thankyou so much 💜

[@girvinie]

I'll keep it short: I love you, you just became my favorite reactor. Looking forward to more content (at your own pace, or you'll drown in all the content that exists). I won't even talk about BTS because it would take 100.000 words (and everything has already been said in the comment section anyway). PS: If you can, you totally should go to a BTS concert one day, I went to their concert in June 2019 in Paris and it definitely was the best concert I've ever been to, it is not even a concert, it is an otherworldly experience (I am a serious introvert, and I hugged people I had never seen before and cried with them, that was really cathartic for me and one the greatest moments in my 30 years of life)

[@rooispartiallyyellow]

Thoroughly enjoying watching your bts journey so far, as a metal fan myself who didn't listen to anything but metal for around 15 years (since I was 12!) it is so great to see someone with similar tastes reacting as I did! bts truly opened my eyes to the great variety of music out there, and while I will always be a metal fan at heart I now consider myself a MUSIC fan, and I will listen to anything if it has a good sound and a purpose and meaning behind it. It always makes me happy to see people being so open minded about new music, as unfortunately most people just aren't these days 😅 Also, as a metalhead who ADORES concerts, I cannot recommend watching bts' live performances more! You think you're impressed with them now? You haven't seen anything yet!! Also I would recommend taking the time to watch some funny compilations of the boys, they are all genuinely hilarious and never take themselves seriously, which is super fun and refreshing to watch and make ARMYs love them even more! Sorry for the long comment, and enjoy the rest of your journey! 😅

[@charlougomez4496]

Again amazing reaction and insight. I can't count how many times I have watched this video but still it gets me very emotional. I would still suggest you check out the 7 members of Bangtan. So you can get glimpse of their personalities and background. Cheers!

[@cathou-quebec8544]

I'd say start from the beginning. Getting into BTS is a journey you won't regret.

[@totyaval7699]

When I first got into bts back in 2016 I went back and watched all of the older content and listened to those albums first. It really helps to see how much they’ve grown and their old songs are amazing too!

[@btsot7_always12]

Thanks for another great video. Yes I agree with your comment in regards to lazy journalism and lack of research. Even general public putting them down without even giving BTS a chance.

[@geegeeyuen6183]

Love ur reaction. I’m 45 from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 I discovered them from the NYE in NYC. My only regret is that I did not discover them earlier. I will be army for life and beyond. this video never gets old and gets me emotional all the time. These are kings. I’m glad I’m in the lifetime with them. 💜💜💜💜💜💜 BTS FOREVER 🇨🇦

[@JustifiedkNot7077]

Bts is a great example with everything they did in 7 years people hate there success u see they set another example that be such a person that u recieve death for ur success huge respect for them they harm themselves to heal others but still people r there who hate them

[@christinemarie1621]

I'm a 56 yr old mom of 16 yr old twins. We ALL love BTS. One of my daughters has severe anxiety and low self confidence/esteem and BTS has changed her life. I love these guys like they are my own and I pray for them daily...for them to be protected and for their message to continue to help others. We are lifetime Army. I've seen them live 3 times and they are phenomenal. Their live concerts are the most amazing experiences ever! The energy has to be a glimpse of what heaven must feel like.

[@lisarose3016]

They are such talented and inspiring individuals with so much heart and personality. They inspire army to be better people and see the power within themselves , they have brought so much good to the world. You should see the things army have done in their name x

[@emrykin7127]

Yep.....still cry to this video even through a reaction. Her one before this was even more of a tear jerker lol. When it starts flying through the award show wins at 2015 and then the end speech (seriously RM always has beautiful speeches). Older ARMY who were there and just knew all the frustrations and trials (I remember every one of those award wins) ....it’s just emotional and some serious feeling of happiness to see the fruits of their labor come to life. In regards to the media, a lot of them don’t care and just want the clicks (the trolls are even worse) and yes you would love them live. I was so disheartened when their May LA concert was postponed (screw you COVID!)

[@armystacinator6732]

A couple videos to watch to get to know each member better is Who is BTS: The Seven Members of Bangtan, or The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: The Story of BTS. Their live performances are top notch as well as their dance practice videos. It's always fun to go back and watch the first MV's of BTS. The first two they put out are No More Dreams and We Are Bulletproof Pt 2. Honestly they have done so many videos and albums it would take you weeks even months, lol. Most reactors just go by what ARMY suggests or there more popular or most viewed MV's. Whatever you would like to do is good with us. Army loves to see new people discover and appreciate our boys. And anything you want to react to we will support 💜

[@asahisugar8635]

I haven't seen anyone really go back to the beginning so I think that if you did that it would be awesome! I would certainly appreciate it because a lot of people just care of about the songs that are more recent and music videos that are recent and bring in more views. I can't wait to see what else you put out! You've earned a new subscriber today!

[@acequinz9247]

The idea of going through their music from the beginning is a great idea, that's what I did. It helps see the growth and it's just over all amazing

[@KarinMaheswari]

Thank you for taking the time to get to know them 💜

[@WiseOwl_so_1d_like_to_think]

Since you asked, here are a few suggestions about how to get to know and appreciate BTS’s music and discography. They have truly evolved over the years, from 2014, when they had a clear Hip Hop sound, to the more diverse range across genres (R&B, rock, pop & contemporary soul). The themes of their albums have shifted from social issues around schooling (Dark & Wild; 2kool4skool); to struggles of youths (the most beautiful time of life), to mental health (Wings; Love Yourself), and then to more sophisticated concepts around psychological Identity (Map of the Soul). I would sample their iconic MVs across the years first, then dig deeper into each album to get a sense of how they grew. As you do that seeing videos of their LIVE performances is a MUST in order to understand their ENERGY. They are simply incredible on stage!!!

[@MaunzesKarton]

I dont know how often I watched the video but it still makes me cry everytime because it touches my heart from deep within. I love these guys so much for everything they are and everything they give to us. Thank you for watching it, too.

[@Mar-gc8eh]

I just want to say I really appreciate you diving into getting to know the boys with an open mind before anything. That in my opinion makes all the difference when you get to know them first then check out their craft. Thank you!

[@musicislife39]

Thank you for your reaction, we do like when someone really looks interested on learning about BTS than just react because of the fandom, I personally say start from the beginning, as they do have a lot of content not sure if you just want to react to the b-sides (no mv) together, be careful on some of the live shows especially Mnet (you will have to put breaks in most of the lives), they do have story line starting from I Need You but I hope no one tells you what is going on, just let's you enjoy the journey and don't spoil it for you, also be careful of any Japanese content (will need major pose or music break) as Japanese content of any kind can get copyrighted or blocked completely

[@nebularhobi]

listening to their discography chronologically is a great idea ☺️ can’t wait to watch

[@Yeye-er2md]

The last bit got me so hard that I’m crying rn 😭

[@veronicahernandez5266]

Legit binged all your content and loving it, Man. Am glad you are exploring BTS. I'd like to see you start from their debut to now, that way you can see their evolution as their style changes over time.

[@sking7705]

This wiki will help you navigate from the beginning bts.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Eras They have had 5 eras - in order - School Trilogy, Youth Trilogy, Wings (series), Love Yourself, Map of the Soul. Click the image for each era to display the page that contains detailed info for the era. In 7 years they have produced a lot of albums: Studio albums - 8 Compilation albums - 11 EPs - 6 Soundtrack albums -1 Reissues - 2 Single albums - 3 Also, the rappers in the group have a total of 5 solo mixtapes.

[@rheichim2698]

Listen to their discographies from the start!! Trust me!! I'm a baby army too since April this year, and back then I decided to listen to their all their music from the very first album to the most recent one - and it was an amazing experience. It took me maybe 3 months because for every song I like to read the think pieces about their lyrics and compared some translations. I wouldn't trade that 3 months for the world. It was really a wholesome experience for me because you'll really get to know their roots & their growth through their discographies - while discovering that through hundreds of these songs in various genres, one thing remains true: they always stay true to themselves. Listening to the discographies in chronological order also really helped a lot because 80% of the time, their newer song subtly (sometimes not so subtly) referencing their old song - showing their growth as a musician & as a person (One of the most famous example, the song I'm Fine (2018) is their answer to their past selves in Save Me (2016), you'll notice that RM's verse in "I'm fine" is responding to his verse in "Save Me"). Even now, I'm still doing this because they got TONS of music. They each have their own solo works on Soundcloud, and even their pre-debut music is really fun to decipher. Hope my opinion doesn't overwhelmed you lol. Either way, you're in for a joyful ride!

[@sharonfoo3]

It’s a ONCE in a lifetime relationship and movement. Something real, deep and inspirational. They totally earned older ARMYS’ respect, love and support and we see them as our boys/brothers/sons. Not getting into BTS based on superficial aspect 💜💜💜

I've seen this video about 20 times in the last few months and cry every time, I love these guys as much as my own kids

[@meliority]

I dont really watch reaction videos...but I saw a snippet on twitter and I was pleasantly surprised to see its a dude who listens to metal. Instant subscribeeee

[@lemontea417]

I usually won't recommend this, but it would be really great if you start from the very beginning Most reactors don't seem like they have the patience or interest for looking into them so deep, so I would rather them watch other things than boring them I guess The only other reactor I've seen done this is Landon (I'm sure you've seen his name a million times now lol), and watching him going through their work one by one just reminds us how we started and how we appreciate them more video by video Just when we think we can't love them more, then you come across some never-seen-before content and boom, you're more in love now sddjkdjskdj Seeing their growth in skills, thoughts, production, confidence, professions etc. is the most satisfying thing EVER I can guarantee, plus my top BTS song are in fact older songs, but that's also cuz I like Hip Hop, and those songs that have DEEP deep meanings, social injustices, mental health, loss of love ones, phycological concepts... We are more than happy to help, ask for links under comments, in community posts, anywhere If you do decide to start from the beginning, 2 Cool 4 Skool is their first album (single album) with 9 tracks, including an intro, 2 skits, an interlude, an outro and 4 group songs No More Dream is their debut song with an MV (13 June 2013), and We Are Bulletproof pt.2 is the only other song that also has a MV on the album *If you're wondering why it's pt.2, well, they've been producing songs for free on SoundCloud before they debut (I'm subscribing, I have faith in you OwO)

[@nariell1803]

As a fairly new fan I have to say I went down the rabbit hole on all their stuff. I think the idea of you starting at the beginning and watching their stuff in order is an awesome idea. You can get an idea of their change and growth that way I think. Honestly all of there stuff is good. I am really enjoying all your reactions though so whatever you choose to do I'll be around to watch

[@bernzZz]

I started watching bts vines which is their funny edited videos and then slowly since their songs are used as bg music for the vids, i started to look for them, watch their mv's, dance practice vids and most specially their live performances.. Then one night, I just told myself. Oh, I love this group already. Can't live a day without watching their videos or knowing how they are thru social media. They became my safe haven. Like whenever I had a bad day, I'll just listen to their songs or watch a vid and everything will be okay. They taught me a lot of things which I'm always grateful for... It's rare to have an artist that is really concern and care about their fans or idols that teach their fans to love themselves, be a better version of themselves.. I hope everyone who are still blind how great they are not only as an artist but also as a person, I hope they find the light soon. 💜

[@sassyest8292]

This made me tear up again. Thanks for taking the time to get to know the boys! Their music is amazing and inspiring and they are wonderful hardworking talented people. I also love metal btw 🤟🏼 You'll see that some of their performances are leaning towards rock (I personally love how they play with and mix genres such as hip hop, RNB, rock, ballad). PS. A fun video to check out is when Jungkook was lipsyncing Linkin Park while at a waiting room.

[@jessicapierce3027]

One thing about BTS is their discography is large for only being out for 7 years, but man it is full of so many hits. They have some incredible B-sides that are definitely worth checking out as well as solo works.

[@donareyes6891]

[@suvijii841]

I don't really listen to BTS, but just as you said I had to looke them up because of the hype. They have such powerful and loyal fanbase, and I feel that is one of the key factors of really making it big time. Anyone can make one hit, but if you don't care for your fans you're not going to last long. I respect these guys, and what I've seen they have wonderful personalities. I wish all the good things to them. And oh, check out the James Corden Carpool Karaoke with BTS! It was hilarious!!

[@The100monkeysfan]

I for sure think you should just start at the beginning and go through song by song. I do this like once a month where I just start at the beginning and go all the way through. Watching/listening to the progression of their music is amazing!

I think hearing their music in order would be so nice! Whichever way you do it, I'm excited to see your journey with BTS ☺️

[@MetalGuyReacts]

Thank you so much! I'm having a blast listening and learning all about BTS :)

[@brwneydangel]

Listening to music wise, starting from the beginning will give you the opportunity to really hear how they have evolved and played with styles and sounds over the years, as well as appreciate their skill then and how they have developed or honed certain aspects. It's hard for anyone to pick one ultimate album that encapsulates them because really all of them do to an extent.

[@heyitsmejp]

Yes you said it, starting at 16:52. I believe that’s where a lot of terrible things stem from. Social media is a crazy place. 😐 The hate towards BTS from other fandoms seems endless up to now.

[@ParallaxHearts]

Hell yeah, just wanted to say you're a lovely person. 🤘I'm sure your comments are already full of recommendations. Growing up as a metal/hardcore fan, I know that charts, awards, and media coverage aren't really something you care about. But it meant a lot to BTS when they started out, so we just want to make it happen for them. It's almost like a (wholesome) middle finger to western pop music, which is still pretty badass.

[@anny-zz7vk]

You are so.... nice? You seem so chill and fun to be with. I think it's because you remind me of my friends and I haven't had a chance to hangout with them lol idk Thank you for the reaction, I love when people realize that BTS & ARMY are just a bunch of people who came together to heal each other and enjoy music. Just like any truly musician and their admirers around the world, of any possible genre. We all have our own lives, jobs and timezones. We are every age, of every color. Tbh I use BTS so much in my every day life, when I feel down after work (my boss sucks heh), when I want to give up everything.. It was them that made me feel confident again, that cheered me up and made me want to live a better life. Man, they make me feel alive And they inspire me so much and I am so aware of it that it makes me wonder: Why I act like this? Why they make me feel so much? Why am I so emotionally attached to them? I used to think it's because I was going back to my teenage years, but that's not it. It's not about age at all. I don't know how to answer it so I left that doubt aside, I just enjoy myself now, and the me now is so damn happy to have found them in this life, even though I don't believe in past lives, I want to find them in all of them lmaooo you see what they did to me? I'm so corny with them 🤣😭😭 But I really wanted to have an answer to my question, how? They really caught me, it's an insane connection between artist and fan, it never happened to me before and I'm beyond impressed I, too had a bad impression from the fandom and the group in the beginning, but I fit so well into ARMY that I can't see myself without them anymore. Funny that I once was that rude person that would make fun of them 🤣

[@chirag9159]

I would recommend starting from the start. Bts has its own universe with its own storyline. You can also see them maturing slowly step by step.

[@MsKuminz]

BINGO!!! You got it right!! The reason why BTS got so much hate in the past because of the fans of other fandoms (especially fans from big music companies) were trying to push BTS down because whether they were afraid BTS would become bigger than their group or some couldn’t believe the group from small company would succeed. But as you know now... nothing can hold BTS down, they shined right thru brightly 💜 and being love by people all around the world.

For me personally, I got into them in 2017. I listened to their current hits of that year, mainly because I didn't know they had earlier music, but when I was informed I went back to the beginning and watched their MV from the start. And I also listened to the songs that don't have an MV.

[@alexc1060]

yess it's such a great idea to start from the begining!! super down for that, that's how I did it lol it's very good to see how they've grown as artists, how their sound has evolved, and how they have changed (as portrayed in their music!)

[@galllowglass]

In case you want to get to know all the members a bit better to get a feel of who they are and how they fit into the group I recommend watching some of the introduction video-series on KZbin. The videos are not just informative but also a lot of fun. I love the more serious stuff but these individual videos often show u how each member is charismatic and fun in his own way, which is a side of the phenomenon that I personally love and know for a fact that tons of other ARMYs do love as well In any case, great vid! I love to see genuine people reacting to stuff, and as someone who enjoys a wide variety of genres of music, I appreciate seeing people who are as open minded about art as you seem (just subscribed btw!)
