[@tinylumberjack1353]

This may not have been clear in your previous reactions, or you may have meant hiatus rather than disband... but the group has absolutely NOT "disbanded". They have been focusing on solo works in the lead up to their military service, the last 4 members have begun the enlistment process, but they have recently re-signed their contracts with their company as a group with the expectation of coming back together in 2025 once all members have completed their mandatory service.

[@febbycollins8420]

👍👍

[@alexandraaw7397]

Yep yep, they are still together as a group but just working on solo projects since they haven't done this.

[@sparklexx777]

Yeah we even got 2 OT7 songs this year

[@jkchimmy8607]

Ikr

[@jkchimmy8607]

They just renew their contract

[@katsecretk4148]

One thing missing from the video you reacted to is how many hardships they went through. Yeah it may seem like they “don’t really have competition” retrospectively looking at the statistics, but the BTS that I fell for is how nobodies/underdogs became the greatest name in the world. If you are into their journey, you just can’t miss the tough parts of it. ❤I believe you will love them and their music more if you learn about it.😊They also wrote about their hard times in their music, through which they deliver heartfelt messages to the world. Please pay attention to the lyrics when it comes to BTS.❤Thank you so much for spending this much of time on digging their stories. I can see that you are sincere about it, and appreciate it so much.

[@imajinallthepurple]

He should definitely watch xCeleste's video BTS Hardships 2013-2021 to get the full picture. 💜

[@katsecretk4148]

[@BrilliantHuman]

1tym wasn't the father/prototype of KPop, it was actually Seo Taiji and Boys in the early 90s who fused western pop/hip hop sound & choreo w/ Korean. The Idol industry that followed was strongly influenced by them and Seo Taiji is literally referred to as the father of Kpop. Like BTS who came after, they didn't shy away from social commentary/critic and for their 25th anniversary concert in 2017 actually invited BTS to perform with them as a sort of passing the torch off.

[@sam693691]

Thank you, was just about to type this about the real father of K pop..

[@psychokitty9325]

And Seo Taiji and BTS did a whole collab concert together! 💜

[@rosedto3806]

I believe the members of BTS were fated and meant to be together. I believe they knew each other in a previous life and made a pact to find each other in this life - no matter what.... and they did. The members you see are the people they are: authentic 100%. There's no fake.

[@SimpleChannel875]

Their debut and early albums are still a reflection of their experience and takeaways from Hip Hop/R&B. A lot of their early tracks tackle about about pressures on young kids in a tough economy, societal and parents expectations, peer pressure, and competitive school system. That's why even then their albums were recognized as different and rebellious compared to what was being produced by other groups

[@teresamendoza4236]

There are a lot of BTS songs to listen since when they started through the currents ones. Most popular are: I Need You; Dope; Idol; Black Swan; On; Run - so many. But in a snap shot, watch their live concerts at Wembley; at the Rose Bowl; Osaka concert; MAMA Awards; MNET Awards; Permission to Dance concert at SoFi; Las Vegas. You have years to catch up! Enjoy them.

[@silvy4413]

Hiya, this is a good video guide BUT, like you said, there is an updated version. I suggest you go to their beginning , and start from their first song No More Dream ( at least that one ) , and then just pick whatever era you like , if you don’t want to do them in order.You don’t have to go chronologically. They were babies back then , with soooo many dreams and fears. The old , the new, the solos, their dance practices, their variety shows, etc…Sometimes it’s just fun to mix it up, but their first video is always a must. I recommend you stop the video you’re watching when you want to comment on something, cause if not you miss out on things ( as evidenced by you not knowing what BTS stood for when it was clearly stated in the last guide you reacted to) . I’m not trying to tell you what to do, I’m only suggesting so you don’t miss out. This way, you can pay more attention to what you’re hearing or reading. Always put your captions on when watching their videos, and always watch till the very end cause sometimes their videos continue after the screen goes black. It’s always exciting for ARMY to watch new people reacting to BTS. We will follow your journey 💜

[@juliamariaignacio7979]

I HIGHLY HIGLY HIGHLY suggest for you to start watching The Rise of Bangtan. There are 22 Chapters (Episodes), and by watching that you will truly understand the whole 'nother world of KPOP, BTS' chronological journey in KPOP and world domination and how they literally paved the way for KPOP. It's the whole package of understanding and learning their whole journey.

[@emilynasi2207]

They haven't disbanded but only doing solo work for now. Jungkook is not the first member of BTS to top Bb 100, Jimin is the first to top BB100 in April with his solo work single Like Crazy. Hope you enjoy your journey with their music.

[@twilahdarkrose4256]

I totally enjoyed watching your reactions because you got it so quickly! Usually it takes many weeks or months or longer to fully get the impact that they have made on global music. I can't wait to watch more of your reactions and share their journey with you. Thank you!

[@marianamdecastro]

Oh man! Halsey is our girl! She has an amazing friendship with BTS specially Suga. She calls him her soul twin. On his documentary for his album D-day, Suga goes to her house and she even played with his hair. So cute to see! They did a few collabs together.. my favorite is Lilith.. a song for the video gama Diablo IV. Oh! There's an update version of this video. Its worth to watch because a lot happened after that. Great reaction! 💜

[@blueberrycream2471]

I really recommend you to react to the BEST documentary about BTS you could ever find. It's a fan made docu-series here on KZbin. It's called "The Rise of Bangtan" and have 21 episodes now. It's really the best one to know everything about their journey since the very beginning. And it also have behind the scenes and deleted content for each episode that are super fun and interesting. I'm sure you'll love it!!

[@psychokitty71]

I know that you will probably have already watched the video for I Need U, but that video, not the song but the video, is the start of the Bangtan Universe or BU. It's the fictional storyline that runs through years worth of their albums. The story is mostly told through MVs, and films/short films, though. Some aspects of the BU were set up to mirror some of their song lyrics, but the songs hit completely differently when you just listen to them, instead of watching the MV. There is a whole list of videos to watch for the BU, in order, but you may not want to get into the BU yet. It's an awful lot to just get to know the boys, much less a fictional story line. When you do want to get into the BU, I Need U has two versions of the MV. One that's rated age 19+ and one that has had some scenes cut out and has a lower rating. For BU purposes, the uncut MV is the best to watch, if you haven't already. Run is also part of the BU. They have Run! BTS, the variety show, Run, the older song that's part of the BU, and Run BTS, a completely different song that was just released last year. I know, it can be overwhelming and confusing. There is a LOT of content. Personally, I think it would be better to start with their first album and go in chronological order. That way, you can see the changes in their music that are talked about in this video.

[@blarmy827]

13:43 this has always baffled me… they all learned to work together but they had to be very unique and special individuals to be able to come together the way that they have… and the more you learn about them.. and how well they work together and fit together as a group…. They’re once in a lifetime !!!

[@jenylynnolledo]

You already are a “Baby Army” like me a year ago. I love the way you appreciate them and how you reacted. Please continue to support BTS even though they will go for military and keep on react on their videos and I will watch it. I do really love them specially the Golden Maknae Jungkook…I will support them until they will comeback on 2025.

[@Lenaas.rkivee]

Most of the members came from poor families, Suga was working multiple part time jobs while he was in school and he would make songs and try to sell them but would get ripped off. He said he used to have to choose to eat or get a bus home and he would go days without eating because he couldn’t afford both a cup of noodles and a ride home. He got hit by a car during his delivery job and he shattered his shoulder. He said that all he remembers is the tire being right by his face :( he couldn’t tell the company because he was afraid they would turn him away but after they found out they paid for his college tuition and at the time the company was in debt and I mean millions of dollars in debt. He told his members about it years later and he would be in so much pain performing that at one point he couldn’t even pick up a water bottle. He finally got surgery in 2020 and he’s feeling much better now but that situation was very traumatic for him and he’s talked about it in his songs. Also rm and Suga talked about how the company kicked them out of their dorm because the company didn’t have enough money but since the members also didn’t have money they went to bang pd and their company and demanded that they let them stay because they had nowhere to go. Jin was one of the members who was actually well off and he would buy meals for jungkook and he would drive him to school like a little brother :( they all treated jk like their little brother and they taught him so many things. Jk even said that he feels like his personality is just a manifestation of all of the members because they practically raised him since he was 13. I don’t want to focus on their hardships but it just goes to show how hard they worked and how much they deserve where they are now. They all are truly amazing people

[@alm9535]

Based on the feedback from Armys, please take them into consideration in your future recordings and kindly address your misconceptions. I love BTS' debut album and all albums that followed (earliest albums) before The Most Beautiful Moment In Life trilogy. These albums had so many great songs with wonderful melodies, beats and the lyrics penned by Namjoon and Yoongi were authentic and told BTS story as trainees and rookies. Many of their B side tracks were outstanding like We On, Let Me Know, Boyz With Fun, Attack on Bangtan, Hiphopphile, Path, Coffee, Like It, Look Here, Just One Day, For You, Can You Turn Off Your Phone, Paldogangsan, Cypher Pts 1-4 etcetcetc

You mentioned J Cole! They did his song Born Sinner( Born Singer💜) and J Hope did a song with him before he enlisted😃👍🏼

[@addison5938]

Sorry that you edited out and skipped parts of this video. This is a fan made video and typically is not copyrighted at all so that was unnecessary. Also there is a 2023 updated version of this video I wish you had chosen that one instead. It is necessary to understand that they have not disbanded. BTS still exists as a group. They're simply having to take a hiatus because of their military service. They have already signed a new contract with HYBE/BigHit That will begin in 2025 when they have all returned from the military.

[@mybiasisot7779]

Side note: Halsey isn't white, she's biracial but "white passing". Maybe that helped her connect to POC. She's very friendly with BTS and has collaborated on different occasions. You might want to check out "Lilith" ft. SUGA by Halsey for the game Diablo?

[@Lenaas.rkivee]

If you want to, I recommend watching the Rise of Bangtan series :) it shows their journey throughout the years

[@gabrieledavis5116]

Fire is an awesome song.

[@rosedto3806]

@RexReact - Please correct your comment. BTS DID NOT DISBAND. They are simply on hiatus to complete their military service and during their hiatus, they individually took the time to grow as artists. Releasing individual content made them learn and grow. It was their plan, their decision, they needed this in order to continue as a complete BTS going forward. BTS is committed to returning as a 7 member band in 2025 once they all have completed their military service.

[@rauhinawinitana540]

They are very real.

[@Lenaas.rkivee]

The members said rm takes care of them when their working but they all take care of him when they aren’t working lmao and apparently jin is the most innocent member even though he’s the oldest

They did not disband..they are making solo albums bcoz of some members are in military they can't perform as a group but in 2025 they will perform as a group again ..

[@Golden__Betty]

Just for info : All the members have already resigned their contracts with big hit beyond 2025. They will come back as a group for many years to come. And they all resigned early which just does not happen in kpop, because they could have waited to come back from military service. Also, most kpop groups don't pass the 7 year mark, but even with the level of success they all have as a group and individually, they decided to commit to the group for many years. And RM and K-media revealed it for the fans to see and to reassure us fans. They have a clear plan for their comeback and they are all so excited to come ack as a group.

[@fllwyrblssw9289]

Welcome to the BTs rabbit hole. You have a lot of catching up to do on BTS content. Not to worry, by the end of this year, the 4 remaining members will have entered military service. The 7 boys will return as BTS in mid- 2025 so you have two years to catch up on BTS. So enjoy the journey.

[@glynistan2385]

BTS is not disbanding. They will be on hiatus starting this December 2023 bcoz RM, V, JIMIN & JUNGKOOK will join the military as they inlisted lately. Jin, Suga and J-Hope will be finishing their military by 1st & 2nd quarter of next year. Their scheduled concert (as they always tell Armys) will be in the 2nd half of 2025 after the return of the remaining 4 members from the military.

[@hotshamesatsuma7942]

🚨 they have not disbanded 🚨 they have all re-signed contracts with their company for another 7 years 🚨 they are all either currently enlisted or begun the proces to enlist. everyone will be in the military within a few months. the plan is to reconvene in 2025, and they've all talked about how much they look forward to performing together again.

[@inesnabilla8401]

I think you can start reacting with chronical order by their first album, also please listen to the whole album not only just the hit one! cause their flow, genre and message are different each song.. and it's all worth to listen! so that you can see how much they grow each album :)

[@nayonika_chakraborty]

I was going to comment about this exact point! The older albums are so important in their discography, of course for the music and performances, but also because of the messages it held. I loved Bangtan because they had a voice and had something to say, which is very clear in their earlier work. Also, the music is still A-tier in my opinion. However, I do recommend checking out the newer performances of those older songs for a better experience (mostly because of the styling😂).

[@xoxo_0811]

Fun fact: RM now means 'Real Me'. He changed it a few years ago cause he felt that the full form 'rap monster didn't suit him cause his raps nowadays are softer and more real.

[@ipurpleu1668]

No I actually doesn’t. That’s a bit of a mistranslation. RM once said “I don’t know, I guess it could be something like Real Me or whatever” when asked in an interview if RM stands for something different now. It’s just RM, nothing in particular.

[@BellachixxNYC]

FYI BTS did not disband they are currently on hiatus while they are doing military service..each member has released their solo work during this time. They will all finish military in 2025 and will reunite, they have also renewed their contract for 2025 and beyond. Hope this clears things up.

I honestly think you should listen to bts music however you feel it will be the most enjoyable. However, if you want to understand bts more, you might want to start from the beginning since they always tell their story throughout their albums. Not only that but you'll notice their evolution both musically and lyrically. Bts has so many songs with insightful, inspiring and meaningful lyrics.

[@YoonMin-iq1di]

Here is advised to watch them from the start to present ... Know their first album 2 Cool 4 Skool and find their song and plat it on to YT .... If there is no subtitle watch it in color coded... MV... and their LIve performance... That's it..... and welcome to the group digging a bunch of rabbit hole. 💜

[@reirarei3303]

If u wish understand the context/environment in whuch BTS operates in, the "Rise of Bangtan" is a good documentary series put together by a fan/pro video editor. Among their many variety content, suggest you alternate BTS Run with Bon Voyage (In The Soop can wait till Bon Voyage done when u know members better and can enjoy the slower-paced staycation). "American Hustle Life" is the first of BTS official documentaries and good early-career starting point.

[@ordinarywonder24]

Another great reaction from you! Thank you. If you should happen upon an ARMY member that you can talk to they can guide you through the process of their albums if you choose to do it chronologically. If you find a person on here or elsewhere who can guide you, let them help you set up future reactions. But how you watch them is entirely up to you! Sometimes it can be confusing when you hear their producer (and boss basically) saying they were given "complete freedom" to explore and to create music. While they were given room to create they still went though the same Korean Idol training system: learning to dance, learning to sing, learning Japanese, watching their weight, keeping them fit, monthly reviews of their progress by the management of Big Hit each month, etc. . .Were they allowed to do whatever they want? No. Were they kept from going home to see their families to learn the choreo of a new release or record for a new song? Yes. But one thing was different: they were encouraged to write and compose music based on their own real life experience rather than simply singing whatever songs they were told to sing. (Though that happened as well from time to time, but much less than other companies.) They have been well trained in the art of being Idols. They worked their butts off to get where they are. What we know to day is this: Something clicked that brought them together in an unexpected way. To this day no one knows what made that happened and their production company Hybe acknowledges that if they did the exact same training with seven other artists they have no idea if it would work out. They worked hard to get to where they are today. And as the final four go off to complete their military service you have time to start your BTS journey. And see BTS through new eyes and experience what most of us have experienced. And what a journey it will be. ARMY will help you make sense of their journey so reach out to experienced Army for suggestions, they'll gladly help you. I promise. Glad to see you are feeling better today. You've got this. Welcome to ARMY and welcome to the rabbit hole. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@beckyjoadams4206]

Among their early albums, their "Skool" albums lean more toward hip-hop and rap, while their "Dark & Wild" album hits differently. It has some more complex melodies and highlights the vocal line a bit more. This is one of my favorite earlier albums, and IMO, a good place to start... that is, unless you want to start at the beginning and work your way through the entire discography! That's what I'm doing while they are doing their military service, and I'm having fun rediscovering some of their older songs. I hope you continue to enjoy our very talented young men. 💜

No they didn't disband. They took a break because of the military, as you mentioned, now focusing on solo projects. Then after they are all return from the military they will unite and make a comeback in 2025-2026. Also there is a more updated video that is titled "Updated 2023" but it's only up to 2022. I think you should watch that as well. But I suggest watching the last part where it continues from 2021. I hope you can also react to BTS Hardships 2013-2021 by XCeleste.

[@sfreshbloom8532]

Please react to SUCHWITA... For the latest reality shows/talk shows there is Suchwita hosted by SUGA where you can see conversations between him and other members, it is a very good show because it provides relaxing and in-depth information about their music and journeys, some of which we didn't know before. You will also feel their very strong bond of friendship and support for each other for their music to develop, until they reunite in 2025 after all members have completed their enlistment. And because you have heard Jungkook and V's full album you can watch ep.21 and ep.18 first.

[@irisalele]

Would be cool for you to watch Suchwita (Suga’s interview show). All of the members have at least one ep. RM ep 1, Jimin ep 7, Suga/August D ep 9 (has RM as the host), Jin ep 12, J-hope ep 14, Jungkook ep 15 (and 21) and V ep 18

[@rjs722]

Think of it as Chapters. Chapter 1 is their first 10 years. Chapter 2 is the solo work as their start their military service. BTW BTS still released a song Take Two which was a hit in 2023. Chapter 3 will be when they come back together after their military service in 2025 with hopefully a tour in 2025. We already know that they have materials stacked up for release until Jin comes back in June 2024 followed by the rest of the members.

[@georgiana3112]

Oh I got to 37:28.. you mentioned JCole. They made a cover of his song Born Sinner, the name is Born Singer. You should listen to the live performance, the oldest one when they were young, in concert, and with subtitles, is amazing. Also JHope has a song with JCole, he was his inspiration since he was young and it was a dream come true for him to have JCole on his song, he actually gave him the stage and JCole has a huge part of this track.

They did not disband. They are coming back as a group in 2025. They are on a break due to mandatory military enlisted. Jin, JHope and Suga started a few months after each other. This December, all 4 will enlist - RM, V, Jimin and Jung Kook. Big Hit planned this so the presence of BTS members are still visible so us Army still have content albeit to still have their presence. Jin will complete his stint in June 2024. JHope in October. The rest will be done by June 2025. In a way, Army still see BTS members’ presence here and there.

Bro they are not disbanded. They are just going to mandatory military in korea. And they are going for a comeback/reunion in 2025. As of now, korea is already preparing for their mega concert because of the highly demand that fans are showing. They gift us with their solo albums before they go to military and so many contents to fill us up while they are gone for the meantime. Actually, next year, June 2024, Jin hyung will finish his military training. Also, jhope in october 2024. You better catch up with all of their contents before their comeback in 2025 😅 goodluck with that because i myself is only at the 50% of the content and music. Start with watch their mv MIC DROP, FAKE LOVE, BLACK SWAN and etc. Then RUN BTS , IN THE SOOP, BON VOYAGE video contents.

[@MariaChavez-ey5sr]

They are such an underdog story. They are mostly outside the industry in Korea and west and get sabotaged constantly but have Army behind them supporting them. The guys are beyond friends but true blinding family and we support what they do. Now they do fight, infamously best friends/soulmates V and Jimin had a huge longer memorable fight over eating dumplings. Such a big fight they wrote/inspired not one but two songs about it 😂😂. But more seriously they were so stressed about getting big and their huge success they almost broke up. While they discussed it Suga wrote a song that helped them decide to stay together Outro:Tear a rapline only hard song that fans thought was about a romantic breakup but later we learned the heartbreaking truth. A must watch a live of this best rapline performance. Enjoy the journey it’s fo rewarding!! 💜💜💜💜

Watching their first movie Burn the Stage will help you understand a lot about them and how hard they work. It’s really good and there are 2 more after that you can also check out.

[@georgiana3112]

I think the best way to go would be from the beginning, because their album have themes and tell their story. Since you enjoy documentaries, there is a series "The rise of Bangtan", very well made, around 20 something episodes, that follow their jurney. It' VERY well made and entertaining, and you can watch one episode and then listen to the album, or at least main singles from the album/albums from that specific era.

[@reirarei3303]

Some additional info to ur asute observations: - Among the many factors for BTS success..like JK said, he was fortunate to be in a group of genuinely good people. The members doesn't have any big egos (or wants to b the breakout star) and have prioritized group work for 10yrs. - Jimin's muscles at outset was actually from his contemporary dance training which included muscle devt req to execute dance moves (+ doing maintenance work for debut as he was assigned to show off his muscles) - Jhope was able to transfer his musicality talent to music production (not every dancer could do that so it speaks volumes abt his talent). - Their third yr "I Need You" comeback was supposed to be their last if they dont succeed since money & resources were finite (company near bankruptcy at a pt).

[@andreastrandlien440]

I really enjoyed watching your honest reaction - and I look forward to seeing more as you journey down this crazy rabbit hole with all us ARMY!

[@jujubeesbtsarmy0613]

Warning... choose your words carefully. ARMY is very protective of BTS. The group did not disband; they took a hiatus because of the mandatory military service. They re-signed their contracts this year to extend thru another 7 years. They will return in 2025 as a group.

[@rianapires2527]

you should delete this now@@fllwyrblssw9289 😅

[@momsierose_ng_bayan]

Yes, they have not disbanded they are on break since Jin, J-Hope and Suga are currently on military service. JK, RM, V and Jimin are now preparing their enlistment all together. They will all return on 2025 after fulfilling their military service. They also renewed their contract with their company. BTS is BangTan Sonyeodan in Korean and in English Bulletproof Boy Scouts. 😊🫶🫰💜

[@jordyn29]

Appreciated the reaction. Please, please don't overlook their old music. This video kinda paints them out to be shallow but they're really not. Do the albums reflect the time they were released? Yes. But they have amazing songs that are really timeless. I really recommend you check out all their albums, including their first ones.

[@jean3A]

If you want to see more personality, the tour docuseries like burn the stage, bring the soul and break the silence is really good.

[@jhlee8121]

bts에 편견없이 진지하게 그들에 대해 알아가시는 모습이 감사하고 앞으로가 기대되요👍진정한 아티스트 현재 살아있는 전설 그리고 미래에 전설적인 레전드그룹으로 남게될 bts역사에 그들과 같은 시대에 있다는것이 자랑스럽습니다🫅💜 진정성있는 재능있는 7명의 아티스트 뮤지션!💜💜💜💜💜

[@ayav4451]

Please watch the Rise of Bangtan series. It is literally a journey with them. The series contains 21 episodes. You really need to watch it. 🙏🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@swabybaby3523]

Please understand they have NOT disbanded! Do not continue saying this. They are just doing their mandatory military service. They are all going in this year so they will all be discharged in 2025. They just signed another 7 year contract with Hybe/Big Hit. They have all done solo work for their fans to get ready for them being in the military. BTS is still a group and will be forever! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@P8unk3y]

Halsey is not a white girl 😭😭😭 she's biracial. AND PLEASE LISTEN TO THE ALBUMS IN ORDER. Take the steps and go in order please. And they didn't disband they are literally taking a pause because they are enlisting. ALL 7 OF THEM the last 4 are in the process of heading in before the year is over.

[@ataraxia7949]

You are NOT ready for I Need U yet…. Cuz it’s connected to their Bangtan Universe (BU) which is a very complicated storyline within their MVs… if you decided to watch it then please do the 19+ original version!!

[@iamsherlocked875]

They are NOT disbanded😅,, they have to enlist the military where the last batch is this Dec'23. The boys plan to come back together in 2025. Bang PD and RM has mentioned there wilk be a project for anniversary 10th yr of The most beautiful moment in life

[@monicaphares5030]

Thank you for your reaction to BTS!! They've even gone on to make more major hits since this video. Have fun on your journey of listening to their songs one of my favorites is Fake Love also ON but there's so many the list just goes on and on

[@sggarn29asianchoice55]

As an ARMY I need to correct you that BTS did not disband. Some of BTS members are serving their country and the others are expanding their music artistry as a solo artist until they themselves serve their country by the end of the year. We ARMY will be waiting for their comeback in 2025. And I think rice sqaud has an updated version of this guide. You should watch it.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@karinayjr]

hello! Thank you for your reaction and comments. Just to clarify, BTS has not disbanded, they started with solo work due to South Korea's mandatory military service, but they are still a group and are looking to work again as such starting in 2025 (during that year the last members who joined enlisted this year will have ended their service), Thanks again, and I hope you enjoy and take it easy on everything BTS has to offer 💜

[@MeryaniDalidaBaggashi]

you should react to their live performances too

[@sherimosher3216]

Just think, you will have time to watch all of the BTS content before they come back in 2025 after all members have served in the military. It's going to be epic and you will be a part of it. The first member to serve, Jin, is due to get out in June of 2024 and I am hoping he releases solo songs while the rest of the group finishes their service. Before Jin left for the military, he released Astronaut which was a goodbye song to ARMY. You should watch his live performance during the Cold Play concert. Be sure to listen to Chris' speech and introduction of Jin. It's so touching!

[@cherylloper7320]

You, young man, have now seriously become my favorite reactor!!!❤ Are you buckled in? Already you are understanding how humble and talented they are! Start at the beginning and then interspersed with a sprinkling of more current music and of COURSE their variety shows. Watch American Hustle soon as it was a gift to them from Bang for working hard. You mentioned J Cole. Jhope did a collab with him just this year before enlisting. On the Street. There is so much....but Suga, Min Yoongi. Said "it doesn't matter if you have been ARMY for a long time or are new, we will always love you"! Can't wait for your mind to be blown more!!!❤❤🙃

[@genovevalara3989]

AFTER THIS ONE YOU SHOULD SEE "THE RISE OF BANTAN STARTING WITH PART # 1 ETC. THEN "FROM NOBODIES TO LEGENDS ". AND THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO OUR BOYS BTS. 💜💜💜 THEY DIDN'T DISBAND THEY ARE ON A BREAK BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO THE MILITARY AND THEY ALSO HAVE ALREADY SIGNED A CONTACT WITH HYPE FOR ANOTHER 7 YEARS.

[@btsuga3715]

This is the story of their success, if you want to know them better I like to recommend The rise of bangtan it's includes all of their failure, success, hardwork and hardtime they get from hater

[@magdalenejoanne9438]

They did not disband. They are on a break for their military enlistment and are coming back in 2025. As much as you would like to react to “I Need You”, I would highly encourage you to start in chronological order from their 1st Album first as they have great amazing songs from those albums from the beginning as well.
