39:48 I think you misunderstood this section. He wasn't saying that bts is better than everyone and therefore they are in a league of their own. He is saying that he thinks there needs to be a white boyband at the top and that bts doesn't qualify because they are Korean. He was essentially trying to sidestep army's getting mad at him but also sound "cool" still while being racist.

when you said that it seems army is the one that lights bts on fire in 9:20, i think you're wrong. all of those plagiarism and making fun of other groups accusations came from non-army kpop stans, it's why sometimes as army we seem like we're overly protective and aggressive, it's because at the time, we were the only people standing up for them.

[@kaerwyn]

I think you misunderstood at the 40:00 mark (not mad, just want to let you know) that pop group was saying they didn't think BTS should be nominated in the same pop categories as them, that BTS should be kept separate, because he believes a western or European group needs to be on top (the winners).

[@jann.92.]

Yeah, every time that clip plays, i just rolled my eyes 🙄.

[@loredell]

01:07:02 What you have to understand here is that Jin being the oldest in the group, was the baby at home (he has a big brother). So "suddenly" being the responsible one, taking care of younger "brothers" took a toll on him in a way he realized he wasn't home anymore and he had to step up for the challenge. And that he did beautifully. As he's fulfilling his military service as the top of the top :)

[@loretopg]

Jin its such a beautiful human being, and as you said, he step up beautifully, he is so humble and dignified that you had and have to watch him very carefully and you will see how things affects him in a good or a bad way and how he let go of things in order to be his best version for his brothers. And slowly but surely you perceive how his message about life permeate the boys just as much as president Namjoon 😊 message does. I am sorry about my English, is not my first language. Its just that I wanted to share what I think and admire about this wonderful boy who grew up to be an even more wonderful man and role model to his beloved brothers and how slowly but surely, his brothers, beautiful souls that they are, understood his message (like that video clip in which Jimin talked about Jin in such a lovely way, for example).

this is such a great idea that’s how reactor jim games got into the tannies and it was much easier to see their growth in real time

[@Karameida]

NGL That whole misogyny thing really got me. I remember first getting into them and hearing about this so I looked up the supposed offensive material and was kind of blown away by....how not misogynistic it was. I really appreciate that the guys response was to pay closer attention to things and get objective opinions....but the fact that some mistranslated lyrics and antis made a non-problem into a problem just.....really gets me. Because there is a ton of truly misogynistic material out there and to target the guys with accusations like that simply because some whiny little brat doesn't like them? Just really gets to me and annoys me each time. 😶 I get what you mean by knowing someone went through hardships though. Never wish that on someone but to see someone go through those things and come out stronger is...inspiring. The underdog story kinda thing. Edit : Cause I paused on the misogyny accusations to type that because it really does irritate me but YES, like I get looking up to artists/celebs who are good and worth looking upto but the way people just....act like they aren't people and deserve to deal with that level of hate or prying into their personal lives, its always driven me insane. Like let them breathe and have their privacy, just appreciate the work they put out for us. The death threats thing is.....just another level. To go that far because you dislike a group of artists....just something messed up with you seriously. Edit Edit : Sorry for all the edits... but wanted to clarify on that part with that one boyband that said "BTS can be on their own" and you were like facts, he wasn't really complimenting them. The guy was saying BTS can exist in their own sphere while a white/american boyband actually remained on "top". I agree BTS are kind of in a sphere on their own but that guy didn't mean it as a compliment, especially since he goes on to say he can't get into them because he "can't understand what they say"

[@MystiqueRisingSun]

I paused to come down and say basically the same thing about the whole misogyny part! Glad I read some comments first. That shit still pisses me off. Like...even WITH those mistranslated lyrics, I still saw nothing wrong with them! While they do usually go for more serious topics, what's wrong with young men singing/rapping about a beautiful woman and having...*GASP*...hormones? The anti's were trying to pull it off like they were so pure that they never felt that way about someone. As for the privacy...YES!!!! Speaking ONLY of dating, I mean...I WOULD love to know if they're dating, when they're dating...but I certainly don't need to know WHO. It would be nice if they were able to share that, though...to know that they ARE normal, 20-something year old MEN. (Let's face it...we know they are, or, well, at least...we know they HAVE...dated. They ARE human!) Anyway, how does that effect their JOB? I mean, I've never once heard of an instance where a singer/dancer couldn't, you know, sing/dance, just because they were in a relationship... I won't even go into the privacy issue when it comes to those who try to sneak into their hotels, apartments, etc. That's just...insane. Sadly, with as popular as they are, it happens, so their safety is a major concern at times. I'm just glad BH/HYBE protects them by doing what they can to prevent it from happening, as well as that they do actually go after those who try to the fullest extent of the law when needed!

[@em5522]

​​@@MystiqueRisingSunhe dating thing gets me, ngl. Like *_why_* can it not be normalized by everyone to let the guys (or anyone, really) have the agency to choose when and if to tell us abt their private lives, including who they date? If it's not part of their jobs and isn't hurting anybody, then no one outside of the ppl it involves is entitled to knowing that information. As a fan, I'd much rather hear personal news from the guys willing to talk abt it and feeling comfortable enough with us to tell us themselves.

honestly im glad youre reacting to the rise of bangtan...i think it does sugarcoat some of bts' past and sometimes focuses more on kpop than bts, but i think in general it provides a fun way to learn more about them since the editing is so good. idk if you know though but bts will soon be releasing a docuseries that depicts their entire journey (since debut) but there hasn't been much updates about that. i think you'd really love watching that when it drops!

[@majag5117]

I agree, although BTS exist in the k-pop industry so sometimes it's good to know the comparison or context within the k-pop sphere. I think the series is a good COMPLEMENTARY source or guide through the timeline. There is a lot of content in there, that is often forgotten within the fandom or it's hard to find if you're a really new army.

The friendship between BTS and Halsey is so pure and wholesome.... In Yoongi's recent documentary Road to Dday he mentions that Halsey is one of the few who understood the and treated them like humans.....

[@pikle777]

“That’s probably why their connection is so strong, cause they had to weather that storm together” one thousand percent! No one understands their hardships (probably even more than what was shown on the vid) then THEM themselves. As army we can acknowledge and do our best to support and protect them. But the members are who they can lean on daily, cry with, hurt with, and push forward with everyday. They’re stronger as artists and as a unit because of what they’ve overcome together.

[@somnidevi9134]

On 13th june I got my NEET result and scored 621/720. I'm finally going to med school this time! Last year I couldn't make it due to 10 marks less than cut off and that was a breakdown for me. This time I'm really happy as I made it on 10th anniversary itself! BTS is not just a kpop boy band but an emotion for people who are connected to it ofc its army. I discovered them two years ago by dynamite and I guess it's the best thing that happened to me in years. The amount of respect, love and appreciation I have for these boys is too high. They were my comfort source in these preparatory years. I couldn't make it last year but I always said to myself that I have to make it happen no matter what. I promised myself to achieved my goals and be a better person till my boys reward me with a grand comeback. I usually prefer to be a casual listener not a fan or something and I tried the same with them initially as well. But I couldn't resist these talented, jolly, handsome people who really shower their fans with so much love and support....

[@wildfictions705]

Even though I personally do not hold grudge with any fandom, even if they spout nonsense about these boys, I just can't help but feel some kind of hosility towards the Exols. I know not everyone of them was bad but the issue is that the fandom let it happen. They were the ones always spreading rumors about BTS, making fun of them, of their looks, just because Exo members were more handsome in their eyes. I do not blame EXO but I really wish we could have gotten an apology from the fandom. Everytime we discuss this matter in videos of hardship of BTS, if someone mentions exols attitude of past, there will always be one of them coming to defend the disgusting activities of that fandom. Anyways it feels refreshing to see your reaction videos where someone actually puts their input and share their thoughts about the matter. It is interesting to me how people can express their thoughts in different wordings!!! Hope you become huge one day!

@@aishwaryaahirrao no it is not exactly immature, but I am just someone who does not have the strength to hold grudges against such monsters who just hide behind the screen and send hate and threats to others just because of their jealousy. The only thing I want is that hopefully this life will teach them a lesson that how words hurt someone, I want them to feel the insecurity deep in their heart, I want them to feel threatened about their life just like how they send death threats to artists just because they feel like it. Life is beautiful and not something which we should waste on disgusting acts like this. It is sensible to not forgive people and there is nothing wrong with that. You were hurt in the process and you have the right to decide whether to forgive them or not. This is the reason why I only interact with Armys online because for me the other fandoms are not worth it to spend energy on useless conversations.

[@aishwaryaahirrao]

*About song "War of hormones" controversy:* so..let me clear the misunderstanding k-popies hv and few Armys hv about this song which was blown out of proportion by h@ters & Antis to create drama that time, which worked cuz k-popies & media latched on it... *This is going to long a$$ comment* Let's be real, War of Hormones wasn't misogynistic. It was just an honest song about what guys in that age range go through. They were straight up saying that they struggle with their hormones when they see a pretty girl, *and guess what? That's just being honest.* 👁️👄👁️ The title itself gives a clear idea to how they see it. A war. An internal conflict. And it's true to what guys in their late teens and early 20s go through. Bangtan has always been about talking about their experiences and being a voice of people their age. The entire album, Dark & Wild, was really just about the turmoils of young adulthood. In the title of the album too, you can already tell what the sentiment was going to be. The first 3 albums spoke about school and issues of teens. And then from there, the darker days of coming to terms with adulthood. And then the HYYH series. Everything was thematic with stories they wanted to tell as they go through life. Antis and fans of other groups were just grasping at straws to find something to shit on and unfortunately the media picked up on it and then some ARMY took it as truth and they themselves started talking as if the song was offensive. It isn't. We need to stop spreading this story as if BTS were misogynistic boys who needed to learn a lesson. Yes, Namjoon has learned a lot from the experience and has gone out of his way to speak to experts in women's studies, but I'm sure that whole ordeal also caused him unnecessary pain. *Now, My personal take on this:* I don't see anything wrong with the lyrics of the song. All boys go through puberty and the things BTS sung in this are just reflective of their experience going through that phase in their lives. This is the reason I love them and their songs.. they didn't hide anything and covered all the feelings/thoughts of a person who is in his/her adolescent...one can see them growing up from then till today…I personally don't find the lyrics offensive and “most” Armys as well..as I agree they are expressing the struggles of dealing with hormonal changes in adolescence, and I'm sorry but sexual attraction is the number one pressing issue in most hormonal teens regardless of gender. There's a couple of issues I take with people who found this offensive. First, the double standard. You can't tell me young women were purely innocent in their thoughts and feelings as they watched these young men dance and sing, they just didn't make a song about it, at least not publicly. Secondly, the entire concept BigHit wanted from BTS is a representation of the youth culture and the issues youth deal with as seen and heard through the lyrics and music of BTS, and of course everyone has or will experience sexual attraction. Yes, they refer to see through clothing and high heels etc, but I've seen hundreds of posts referring to JK's abs, Jimin's body rolls and shoulder "accidents" Tae's tongue...you get the idea, and while many comments aren't necessarily teens it's not a problem. There can only be an issue if the lyrics were implying that I'm only attracted to girls who wear heels and sheer clothing, not sneakers and sweats. Anyone who has experienced adolescence knows however that if they're sexually attracted to someone the person could easily walk around in a potato sack and an adolescent would still be entranced. A lot of people were offended by that line, "Girls are equations and us men just do them". Personally, I took it as "do them" meant they were puzzles to be solved, not a sexual act. RM was honestly shocked that people were offended by the lyrics and that they could be considered misogynistic. It was definitely a learning experience for him. He apologized and has since run his lyrics through a few professionals in women's studies before releasing a new song. They don't really release songs like this any more. *But to that a korean Army said translation in English were a bit off, which lead to misunderstandings and explained it saying : “I was kinda surprised it's translation was "do" because that part "do them" CAN actually sound offensive to some people, because the meaning of that word 'do' is not clear. However I can clearly say that it's not meant that way, and Korean version lyrics tell that. Words are more specific, and not controversial in Korean version lyrics, because it doesn't say 'do. That part in Korean is 여자들은 방정식 우리 남자들은 해 which says we men are 해 is a word for mathematics, and it means the 'answer/the final number'. So it means they solve. the complex minds of the girls. 해 DOES have the meaning of 'do' too, but its not appropriate to translate this part of the lyrics that way, because if u say it means "do them, it doesn't fit the sentence there. Since there's no Objectives for that Verb 'do' and that's... kinda awkward. plus. the context and meaning of the whole sentence is talking abt mathematics and Equations so what u said is true. It doesn't mean sexual way”* it's freaking mistranslation, if you don't belive me ask any korean, not only k-army but any Korean.. it was done to sabotage BTS's career..💀 BTS hv made few mistakes unknowingly early in their career and said things which can be considered offensive, as they were young but they hv re-educated themselves, apologized and never repeated the mistakes again..but I hv seen many k-popies and so called Multi Armys twisting many things because of that..take for example this song.. it's blown out of the proportion just to cause drama..and they were sadly successful in that..haters/antis tried every lil thing to bring BTS down & sabotage their career ngl..

Like a lot of newer ARMY we also wish we were around to help protect them, but you can see an almost PTSD response from some of those older ARMYs who were around and fighting on twitter (especially the 2018 SK/Jap stuff). I'll forever be thankful for older ARMY who were around because those years (toughest years seemingly 2015-2017) were really rough. As far as the "misogynistic" lyrics... oi... it's a dual issue - one bad translations and two... just media and anti's using it to be performative. The song in question will forever be one of my favorites, and we haven't heard it live in so long 😥 I can already imagine your dumbfoundedness when you see the lyrics in question.

if you were an army back then before bts was this big was like being on the trenches EVERY DAY..2018-2019 was a NIGHTMARE the video you saw is the shorter version of everything that happened in their early debut/ career & after they started to skyrock in USA & the rest of the world. But yeah we went through a lot of sh!t & the boys didn’t deserve all that, i truly believe they are genuinely nice & sweet guys so it was hard & traumatic as a fan of them to see all the massive hate towards them coming not from other fandoms only but the korean , western & international media

[@nadiarodriguez1056]

1:44 the best album (dark & wild in MY opinion) being recorded in a garage is kinda insane to me me 😭

[@maismaikhemprai9312]

fr every time I listen to anything from Dark & Wild (which I believe is the best as well) I just sit back and think “how was this masterpiece recorded in a freaking garage”

[@Ayloriel]

*partly in a garage (since they couldn't afford to pay for a studio in LA) and partly in a studio that they got to borrow

[@afreepotatochip8765]

9:14 tribe loui you gotta understand, they're seven guys, the torch has to be big! sometimes we fumble with it a little bit but we're fine overall i promissseeee but also, whatever other fandoms come up with to hate on bts got nothing to do with us, they literally go every once in a while poking the bear (that's us) with a stick and then have the gall to say we started it

[@user-ph6rh8li2k]

The name being blurred in the video is EXO a group from one of the big 3 kpop entertainment companies. Their fans has always been vile towards bts. Their fans was the one who planned the break the wings project, making fun of taehyung's grandma and they were also one of the fandoms that accused bts of chart manipulation when they won their 1st music show win. They filed a petition to the blue house to take back bts' daesang(grand prize) during the award show. They were one of the fandoms that trended the plagiarism hashtag against bts.

[@user_co3hta018]

The hate BTS got is still the same, more infact, it's just that now they have a huge fandom backing them up no matter what,,,,back in 2016 ARMYs were a minority, a smallass fandom in the kpop community with the biggest fandoms of that time actively bullying Bangtan like a daily hobby and lemme tell yall 2 things: 1)karma hit them "big" fandoms of that time so hard it was fun to watch it all unfold. 2)ARMYs have never done anything remotely as worse as what they all did to Bangtan, stantwt petty fights donot compare to planned malicious campaigns on repeat and sending d3ath threats to the point police has to step in, all bc they were jealous that BTS were making it big meanwhile their favs were still waiting for their companies to spoon feed them with some songs coz their favs can't make sh¡t by themselves. When I was a baby army at that time, ARMY, as a fandom was so passive. We could have said so much but remained silent to not hurt their lil ego and to not add on to this negativity. I remember 2015s ARMYs telling eachother to just ignore those kpopies and don't even talk with them. But I'm glad ARMYs changed after 2016 MAMA. The same ppl who ones thought being silent was the best option started fighting back and then around 2017 BBMAs, people started fearing us and changed the narrative as if we were the bullies.

[@arc0613]

9:20 Well in case if you have any misunderstandings no armys were not the one making those accusations and threats why would army do that? These are all other fandoms of different kpop groups.

[@dublew6290]

OMG RISE OF BANGTAN! Literally the best fan made documentary on the planet! Don't foget about BONUS CONTENT and DELETED SCENES for every chapter!!

[@fatimaalkamoosi6578]

Plagiarisms accusations until 2016 seriously affected their reputation it was not just a cute fanwar between fans they received criticism from the general public it was bad Also 2018 was SERIOUS like dead serious we were so scared for them, death threats, conservatives and nazis involved with western media on our as* I don’t think army were ever this scared for the boys, I had to leave twitter back then Xceleste is nice for blurring the groups but I’m not For the plagiarism exo and bigbang fans were the front liners and they had an effect until the end of 2016 2017 was the year all kpop fans united to downplay BTS achievements in the west 2018 exo and blackpink fans were the front liners and they will never be forgiven for that because they boys lives was on line And that’s why we are sensitive when it comes to other kpop groups, ARMYs are not saints we get in fanwars but back then it was always provoked and we never went to the extent to actually harm the artists in any way Now the fandom is so big there are good and bad people and there are ones here for clout and achievements, solos and mantis unfortunately grew stronger and they hold some power now

[@yourmermaid9024]

it’s interesting bc the rise of bangtan shows how other artists of kpop were treated and viewed by their companies, and then it shows how bts was treated by big hit, as humans and not machines, who put the effort bc they wanted to and not bc they were forced to as, sadly, happened w those other kpop artists. i think that’s one of the most important things that made bts, well, bts, and allowed them to grow organically as individual artists and as a band. (also, the rise of bangtan includes lots of spoilers of their albums and songs, so i’d recommend to proceed w caution hahahh and if u want to have a more complete experience meanwhile listening their albums i’d watch the practice dances/choreos of their songs if they have one. if you’d like that) thank you for the content! as always it’s truly amazing

[@minhee7]

Man you’re kinda lucky and unlucky to not have lived and seen with your own eyes the hates BTS was getting in theirs early days… It was brutal and bloody literally. Korean A.R.M.Y were bullied at school. If you don’t know bullying in South Korea is probably the worst out of every country out there. We lost a lot of A.R.M.Y and gained a lot. At the time, I was shocked by E**-L, I left their fandom because I didn’t want to be influenced. I always watched BTS and listened to some of their songs since 2014 but I didn’t became a full ARMY right aways. After I had a fight with an E**-L, I decided to become an A.R.M.Y. BTS were blamed for a lot of things and I was an angry teenager that’s why I think a lot of others Army in the same situation, were very defensive and sensitive. While the Army who have been with BTS for a long time calmed down, we can still be see today the anger of injustice in the fandom from the younger Army, who just learned what BTS went through.

I try my best to forget and forgive but....bro I'll hold grudges against exols, vips,blinks, and other kpoppies who hated on armys and bangtan... they're on my list forever I hate them fr

[@Rox7ne]

Omg I'm sm like this. I try to remember they can't all be bad ofc but my mind is always bringing those old memories... 💀

[@loredell]

01:03:24 If you compare, these girls loathed the time as trainees. Whereas whenever you hear bangtan speak abou tit, they say of course it was hard, but they are grateful for it. Even trainees that didn't make it, people who shared months and maybe years around with the 7 members, they are not bitter, they don't show any remorse about not being selected or having "spent" their time for nothing. So BigHit was doing something right. The usual trainee boarding school she's talking about is not the poor version, but having 2-3 roommates from the get go. Not being squeezed in a 10 sq feet room with 6 other guys.

[@aishwaryaahirrao]

Sad fact that this vid doesn't even cover much..this is just tip of an iceberg tbh

[@muginfires]

I occasionally rewatch these hardship videos not to keep hate in my mind (since the boys keep telling us to be positive) but to remember why I will keep supporting them whether it's by streaming their music or buying it or voting. I mean at the start i got angry and even hated other groups whether they sis anything or not but now after years I think I'll just keep supporting BTS. I'll always make sure they're at the top. The industry doesn't favor them at home or abroad so it's left with ARMYs to support them.

[@paws9849]

As a 2016 ARMY, I got so burnt out back in the day on Twitter seeing all the nonstop hate from antis that I still to this day don't use really use the platform, or I stay away from kpop Twitter completely. I'll never forget when BTS was attacked for using the word "naega" a common word in Korean that means "you", because it sounds like the n word here. Fucking exhausting talking to people who were saying WELL IT SOUNDS LIKE A BAD WORD HERE THEY SHOULDNT SAY IT AT ALL

[@liveberries]

The group being blurred out is EXO most of the hate in the video are made by exo fans

[@Naly7]

15:33 the blurred name is EXO... EXO fans, blackpink, BigBang, TWICE, NCT fans, they were in the “destroy BTS comeback project” along with other kpop fandoms.

[@afreepotatochip8765]

they complain a lot about bang pd on the trainee's christmas song but ironically that just shows how good their relationship is LMAO cause no horrible boss would allow their employees to complain and make fun of him like that. I like the contrast between what idols of other companies say they went through and what bts experienced cause there is similarities but also differences

[@taes]

You don't even how much hate Jimin is getting in this big year of 2023 when jimin topped bb hot100 no 1. There are so many r@pe jokes, d3@th wishes towards Jimin just a month ago from multiple fandoms. This is disgusting.

[@shanamoens822]

Let me guess, on Twitter? Twitter is toxic as hell, I really don't go there. I stay in my somewhat safer KZbin bubble. There's hate here too, but not as much as on Twitter. But let's be real, a lot of hate comes from JK and V solo stans too, not just other fandoms.

[@lovelyy6491]

@@shanamoens822 no, darling, everywhere. i've seen literally everywhere. here on KZbin, Tik Tok, Facebook, Instagram. kpop stans will always find a way to hate on him in every platform available. you are in your bubble and that's cool, but the hate is everywhere, trust.

[@jimins_missing_height777]

and we have to keep in mind that the video really named only a small percentage of what is really happening and how many people are hating on BTS. Especially radio stations , TV shows and the people writing awful things about Jimin

[@RIN4.]

agreed! like seeing all the different kinds of twitter hate real time was appalling because it wasn't just a couple of people, it seemed like there were always big communities dedicated to making the boys suffer and it's sad that it was bad enough that bts now comment on receiving trauma from it.

[@pavithu9187]

Hiii Tribe Loui... Thank u for bringing this video of their hardships. It wasnt easy for me to watch it by myself before, but watching it with you, i felt i had some company with me to sit through this. Glad Veteran ARMYs never gave up on tannies, so baby ARMYs like me could have the fortune of getting to know them and be healed by them.

[@cida_a]

Yess I’ve been waiting for a reaction to a vid like this, when I was first getting into bts I didn’t understand why a lot of these things happened to them or even know what some of these things were like the Korean award shows but as I got deeper into bts & kpop I got to know how different & how big the korean entertainment industry really is, there industry has grown to a better place over the years but back then they were extremelyyy judgemental, fanbases would overexamine anything & everything, the Korean shows they would go on would make fun of them which was crazy bc tv shows there are a huge deal, it just seemed like many had a bias against young bts with all the accusations they would get, it was really the whole industry against them even kpop idols were being shady & all this because they were threatened by bts being the underdogs 👏

[@blueturtle1813]

ig it's a bit hard to place this treatment if you dont know about the kpop industry some of this might not seem so bad but it was. ... bts was singled out and treated like dirt because they didnt come from one of the big corrupt kpop labels at the time. when i say corrupt i mean these labels had power over media, politics and would even pay antis to go against bts cause they felt threatened

[@ly_sea]

okay so the reason tae wasn't on the first episode of the documentary is bc he was introduced much later despite already being a part of the team. he was the "hidden member" since bang pd saw his uniqueness in talent and striking visuals and decided that he should be introduced in the end for that BANG ya know

im a 2015 army and oh boy... i dont even think a video can cover the amount of things bts and army have gone through, 2015-2018 were hell, then again, when u are as successful as bts is it is expected for people to try and stir shit up. u would be surprised at the amount of popular idols that have been openly bitter towards bts, peers in the industry that to this day don't show any respect, its sad but it wont stop bts from being on the top. it has been 10 years of hardships but also beautiful moments, lets get to 20 with bangtan and army stronger than ever !

[@kunilsen2519]

I personally hope someone will do a deep dive into BTS/ARMY hardships. This video is great and all, but it is just surface-level. Same with the documentary, a big part of BTS's history is the hate they received and how much of an outsider BTS was and still is. ARMY is a reflection of BTS. BTS and ARMY often mirror each other.

[@kaygeez613]

[@squish9200]

25:05 to add: the shirt situation didn't just cause cancelations of broadcasts. "conservatives" makes it sound lighter than it was but bts and jimin specifically were harassed by essentially japanese neo-nazis, not to mention japanese armys were threatened for liking bts. the shirt jimin wore represented the end of japans colonial rule over korea and sk/japan have never had a great relationship.

15:35 probably EXO. Their fans were #1 anti fans of BTS. What in my opinion is just childish and plainly stupid. EXO members and Bangtan are friends 🤷 Fan wars are stupid in general. Bunch of immature kids spreading hate everywhere.

I’ll just say it. The blurred groups are exo and big bang. Mostly exo. Even until now exo fans are being freaks still eventho the group’s barely even standing anymore with so many members gone and issues with mistreatment. Big bang is taeyang. Jimin vibe taeyang. And g dragon is another member of that group. The fans are horrible, some members of that group were up to some crazy shit and scandals, the family members and company are annoying. But there’s never been any issue with taeyang tho afaik. They have some good songs.

[@Maraaha55]

I can understand why you were shocked and confused the crap V faced after talking about his Grandma's death. It's even worse than it seems to us in the west. We are able to understand the actual bond, because V's parents both worked away and his Grandmother brought up him and his siblings, and that happens here too. But in Korean culture it's much more awful: he announced this to fans stating it was her 49th day after her death. This is a special day in Korean culture: the spirit stays close by until the 49th day after which it can go beyond and be reborn. There are special family gatherings and spiritual ceremonies - V couldn't go to any of those to be with his family and his Grandma before she left and must have felt devastated. I can't understand why any Korean fans would join in such despicable statements and evil wishes, but I bet some did. There is evidence that many many of the attacks on BTS are organised or co-ordinated by other companies, including attacks which purport to come from 'fans'. In fact, BTS get a lot of opposition even before they debuted. Honestly I don;t know exactly why. It's true that Kpop is very competitive : many new bands don;t even last 3 months - and the artisits involved often ended up with debts to pay for their training and living costs as well as performance costs which they had to repay (not clear if that still happens, but Big Hit never had that system). The only reason I can see for the pre-debut hate was that they could see the talent, they could see how different they were, they could see that they might end up changing the whole system and they were scared. Well Bang Si Hyuk is reported to have said that he wanted to change Kop and RM once jokingly said he wanted to break the music industry. The project is going well so far. I think a lot of the issues around MMS exemption are very valid. Many Kpop groups now contribute much more to Korean prestige than athletes or classical artists, but of course BTS tops them all. Still, many groups are getting bigger and bigger. BTS' overall contribution to Korean economy is .03% (at least). There was extensive 'debate' about exempting them, with the military authorities (clearly claiming ignorance about them) said they would investigate it, but when asked the same question 3 months later, had done nothing. Shortly after that BTS announced they would be joining up and taking a 'hiatus', to significant concern in Korea - including a request from the head of the Korean Cultural Organisation to reconsider because of the impact this would have on Korean artists and musicians. Totally ridiculous. BTS always did say they would be honoured to serve, and Jin and Hobi are doing very well - they all will. Thanks for supporting BTS - Borahae

And about rise of bangtan,we can see how other artists and their company were and there’s bangtan and bighit,completely different,maybe that’s the big reason why their bond,success and music is untouchable,they were treated as human,given freedom of artistic expression and I am so grateful for that 💜💜
