THE RISE OF BANGTAN 1: We Are Bulletproof - FIRST TIME COUPLES REACTION!

[@moonchild.blaire]

V is like the hidden gem of the team and BigHit didn't reveal him until their debut that's why he's not in their predebut videos.

Something to remember is that V was a hidden member of the team. Big hit didn’t want to reveal him until the debut. So in a pre-debut vlog where Jimin was talking about the members one by one he couldn’t mention V. And there was no V pre-debut vlogs. He was always there but not on camera.

[@Ahjusshi_Brown]

V was a hidden member, so even though he trained and lived with the boys for years, no one outside of the company knew he was a member. For that reason, in all their pre-debut content you won’t see V and none of the members ever discuss him. V was finally announced when BH dropped the official countdown for BTS’ debut and released the pictures of all the members (from the photo shoot from this episode).

[@Angel-zh8lu]

10:10 at that time RM, Suga, J-Hope were already part of it (they became trainees of Big Hit in 2010) and before this second audition other trainees were supposed to be part of the group

[@sabria613]

Bts was actually invited to Seo Taji's concert and performed multiple songs with them. (including Come Back Home, the song BTS chose to cover from them)

[@mapple2549]

This series shows what JK meant to FESTA (??? I'm not quite sure) that RM really struggled and worried a lot when they debut (in their earliest days/years) as he was the leader of their group. I think he worries a lot because of those people who look down on them. He wants to prove that they are all wrong. His determination to succeed really shows in this series. Cuz me too, that what I will feel especially if my peers humiliate me in front of other artists and tons of audiences. So, I really admire his determination and courage. I want to say to him that He did a great job and I am proud of him. He carried those responsibilities at a young age. Now, I understand why Jungkook always thanks him and admires him the most.

[@siobhanmartin9939]

Just one reminder that a lot of this info is general and not necessarily the same for all entertainment companies. big hit is obviously very different in training than some of the other agencies. Did you guys forget that tae was a secret member? I swear you knew about that

On his 25th anniversary concert, Seo Taiji and the boys literally have a whole concert with 7 members of BTS instead of "2 of his boys" 😅 Seo Taiji who's considered as a pioneer and a leader of 1st generation of kpop idols basically passes them the torch and gave his blessings as a leader of this generation 😂 You can find the concert video online~

[@Amzorose]

Very random but the youtube channel "Waleska Herrera" who also does reaction videos to BTS, as well as other music and their own original stuff, have a weekly podcast called Feature Friday that just recently, for example, had the drummer for BTS on and they just mentioned on their live stream that they would love to have you on their podcast so I thought I would comment and let you know just in case you guys were at all interested I would love to hear what the four of you would talk about 💜

[@n.alistair]

Taehyung used to sit next to the trash can. He was kept for a long time because Bang-pd doesn't want him to be stolen or what. He serve as BTS gem. It hurts to watch some of their old log because he wasn't there or he was never been mention not until they debuted. They all suffered, some wanted to leave but god said “let this 7 boys shine and make other people shine” and I'm glad that after years of hard work, pain and waiting, they are now in a place full of happiness together with us, ARMY'S. I swear to god, I'll walk with them until my last breath. BTS 💜 ARMY. BORAHAE EVERYONE~ 💜

[@MsJude16]

Well, about Seo Tai Ji and BTS : Seo Tai Ji the legend actually passed the "baton" (so to speak) to the Bangtan Boys in his 25th anniversary concert. BTS affectionately called Seo Taiji as "Father" (he's the same age as JK father if I am not mistaken). And BTS did perform the cover of Seo Tai Ji's Come Back Home, which I believe you guys have reacted to it.

Can you react to “BTS vs Kpop” by bby gang. His videos are utterly phenomenal, and I’d love it if you could check out his other videos out as well about Kpop & BTS. They are so well-researched and non biased. He does the work that so many western reporters don’t when researching and explaining BTS and Kpop. He encapsulates so well how truly phenomenal BTS is in the Kpop industry, the pop industry, and the music industry as a whole. It helps that with how well he does his research, he shows so much respect for eastern concepts and their impact on the western world. It’s beautiful.

[@ami_rheyia]

As already mentioned in the previous comments, BTS was featured in the 25th Anniversary concert of Seo Taiji and as you already know Seo Taiji is kind of the father of Kpop in SK so it's needless to say that it was truly an honor for BTS to be chosen to perform with him, even other celebrities were envious and amazed by it. Also a fun fact, the old lady who owned the restaurant that they were always at during their trainee days STILL honors and supports them to this day. She always celebrates every member's birthdays by putting like an altar of pastries / food items in her restaurant with the member's pictures on them, i'm not sure if they're for sale though lol. Oh and yes, Taehyung was a hidden member at the beginning that is why he wasn't included in their pre-debut logs. Correct me if i'm wrong but I watched somewhere that the reason behind it is because BH didn't want other agencies to steal Taehyung away from BTS once they discovered him, hence he was only revealed on their official debut.
