I'm actually glad that they had the bodyguards there. If you notice in some of the fancams Billboard allowed fans to come up the isles (Jones Brothers Performance for example) and you can see BTS "Fans" with BT21 headbands (and some with not) but they had their phones in Jimin's face, then the bodyguards got in between. All the "fans" did was stare, have their phones in their faces, and some tired to touch them (not OK). Also, on a side note, as an American I hate the way "we" (others) organize events. They are so unorganized! It drives me crazy. Love your channel and appreciate the honesty. Sometimes I disagree and sometimes I agree, that's the beauty of it. I wish I would have had the money to go to Cali and see you guys at the fanmeet. :(

I am hoping this will be focused more on the positive side of things - the fact that BTS won 2 BBMAs, adding to their now total of 4 (historic). I am guessing this is about the body guards...smh - (I could be wrong). We know and it is for their own safety! My thinking is that, although unfortunately BTS cannot enjoy their freedom like other artists because the fact is that the crowd were majorly there for BTS. So all that was to avoid any issues because of past threats to their lives again and again, etc... BigHit probably can't control the BBMAs crowd entirely, so they had to control what happens in the close vicinity of BTS. During the Jonas brothers performance we saw what happened and I am glad the security did their job, that said, I do wish BBMAs didn't bring in so many 'hype' audience next to BTS.

BTS they still have a lot of chances to interact with other artists, such as backstage. US award shows are different from Korea, in US, artists & audiences or fans are mixed together at the same place, so this pose danger to BTS. That's why they need security to surround them during breaks because everyone is trying to get close to them. Regarding popularity in US or penetrating the US market, it is getting better & better. Not everyone in Korea able to recognize BTS, US population is way lot bigger than Korea, so how do you expect everyone knows them. Random old folk also heard about BTS & knows that they are a dancing boygroup, this is good. Thank you! 💜💜💜

Tbh I understand them having such a tight security. Most of the crowd at the BBMAs is ARMYs, even the seat fillers and the audience they had to hype for like in jonas brother's performance, most of them were also ARMYs so you can never be too alert. Pretty sure the boys get that too and they always enjoy themselves at such events regardless of the bodyguards so it's all good. And they meet artists easily, the security clearly doesn't pose a problem with that. There were so many who approached them and took pictures with them, interacted with them and through past BBMA & AMA bangtan episodes that we get with behind the scenes, we have seen them meet so many artists, some of them that they are friends with now like halsey & khalid, their collab with chainsmokers came from them meeting with them on BBMAs and so many other interactions happen backstage.

A bit disappointed with this vlog. I was expecting more on the bbmas. It was a historical moment. I'm clarifying a few things. You're forgetting BTS has received threats in the states before, a tight security was needed for big events like these. Security were checking ids. sorry to say this, no shade but a lot of mid tier celebs and youtubers have tried to take pictures with BTS in past and brag about it on social media. Security probably knew which celebs were allowed in the area. Most celebs approached BTS without any trouble though. The only time I saw a wall was during Jonas Brothers performance. The dancers were pulling people from the audience and bringing in them to the front. Security was right to be cautious. One girl tried to sneak by and grab Jimin. They were doing their job, why complain? Safety always comes first. One more thing, ARMYs in the pit even interacted with BTS at some point when phones weren't allowed. The boys were comfortable during that time, maybe some of you should consider putting phones down at concerts even if it's just for a few minutes. BTS loves interacting with fans, a lot of eye contact and finger hearts.

[@Orion_TheyThem]

If BTS wanna speak more English for their English fans.....let them. It doesn't go against their Speak Yourself message. They're not abandoning their Korean roots. They're trying to better communicate with a LARGE portion of their fanbase. Nothing wrong with that. They also speak Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, and Portuguese (granted it's all broken), when they're in the respective countries. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Just saying. It makes me respect them more that they care enough about their fans to try and communicate their thoughts and feelings into our primary languages. Also, body guards are a necessary evil. Especially with how big they've gotten and how dangerous Sasaengs are getting. But they do meet a TON of other celebrities backstage. Just check their Twitter and other celebrities' Twitters. They're not missing out on the experience. So, none of this is "sad news." No need to be so negative, Danny and David. Cheer up! 😊🙌🏻

[@peaceablekingdom3535]

After the BBMA'S I think anybody who has heard of BTS realizes that they have a very diverse fan base. Celebrities who attended their concerts at the Rose Bowl, Chicago, etc, have shared their pictures on Twitter of their fun time at the concert. Nick Jonas, Khalid, Matthew McConaugahey, tv and movie directors were there. The news channels were showing people of all ages at the concert. One of the guys from the band Boyz to Men was on KZbin talking about how great BTS are and calling them the real deal. So don't worry about the boys. They have a LOT of heavy hitters in their corner. Oh yes, they also have friends like James Corden and Jimmy Fallon who have television talk shows. They're very, very loved here in America so don't worry about the few Americans who don't care for them. Those kinds of people are in every country.

She was in the row beside him and could of easily reached out and touched him. This is why the bodyguards are necessary. There was one part of the show where they crowd (?) were supposed to go towards the stage and they instantly gravitated towards BTS. If the bodyguards weren’t there they would of been swarmed. It’s unfortunate but it was really necessary.

Lol 4:09 but still... at least you got to witness it live I can't even! And OMG you guys looking good!!! I was pretty impressed that A army knows the fan chants!

[@patsyis]

I was in the front of the pit as you guys! Lol. BBMAs staff was SOOO unorganized, this year. They asked us for our drivers license and PRINTED out the wristbands💀 Last year was better, trust me. Anyway I’m glad you had fun,I saw you guys but I was too nervous to approach you😂

[@lfallon3829]

This video is 2 years old, but I’m just now watching it. It’s crazy how much BTS has grown in popularity since this award show! And I do think there’s still more work to be done. In 2019 I had no clue who BTS was and would have been one of those “clueless” Americans. I’m a middle aged, white, Mom living in southern US. My knowledge of South Korea and KPop was zero until my daughters introduced me to BTS in 2020. And it took about 6 months for me to really get up to speed. I’m all in now, but there are still a lot of people in my peer group who have no idea who BTS is. One by one I’m lovingly educating them 💜!! It takes time to break down barriers, but I think it’s happening!

[@merenlajamir8024]

Your caption is giving me goosebumps 😩

[@NilasWorld1990]

I've been a bad duck with YT lately because too many has been happening. Been keeping up with Social Medial though. Glad you guys had fun. The disorganisation is one of the main reason I tend to avoid big events like those (and even kpop concerts in Europe). Other than Paris, most of them are always too messy. I'm still trying to get over Infinite's London concert mess 5yrs ago.

[@chinthiansiamhangshing3056]

I'm shocked as well... people always thought Asians look similar.... especially in Kpop like they thought every boy group was BTS

[@jennythg10298]

Wow I'm actually quite happy to hear they had some form of a gate to slow down the flood of fans each commercial break. I think many Americans still see them as more of a attraction than an artist so I'm glad they or the company take steps to only allow important meetings to happen.

[@nanakii03]

Everytime I watch them perform , I get chills 🔥 #ProudToBeABTSARMY

[@maylewis2421]

If you watch Grammys you can see that there are no bodyguards for a few reasons. Because it’s only invited guests a bodyguard would not have a seat. But most importantly there are only artists and industry people at the Grammys. Billboard and AMAs allow the public to attend. That when they would need bodyguards because of the fans and there could be scary, crazy people there. To have bodyguards is actually smart.

[@kiwitealc5353]

I don't know why the complaints about how disorganized it was cracked me up so much. Just know that many events in America are actually well organized, even if many are not hahaha. Maybe I'm just used to it so I wouldn't get as outraged lol. I'm not surprised that the other people there seemed more chill about it. They probably thought you were being impatient hahaha.

"more of David going delulu" 😂😂😂😂

[@bhagyashreerana6100]

Of course BTS is HUGE. Love your interactions and your contrasting but honest/innocent views guys, keep them coming. 👍🤗

[@akakame]

It is a fact that people heard the name of BTS but they do not really sure or clear of how BTS looks..all they know is BTS is global huge popular and know em only by the songs and BTS are asians.. You are right that BTS still have long way to go to get well recognize in american entertainment industry. bcos most of general people don't seems to bother to know how the boys look like.. not to sound shady but this happen to every other Kpop group who appear on the US shows and people only asked.."BTS?", or "u guys r those who won bb?" "Hey look BTS!" (when its other kpop group appear)

[@dianeknowles4323]

BTS comes from a culture where people are reserved. Yes they tour the world and interact with all kinds of people but Americans do not respect celebrity. I don’t blame them for having guards. Many American celebs have guards too. As far as speaking English, good on them. To be vulnerable enough to try to speak in another language is admirable. I get so tired of all the criticism of BTS. Get a life people and respect others.

[@Melissa-pv3nz]

Seriously I would be so pissed off because of how they are so disorganized! And that camera boy I got angry !! During almost the whole performance that camera blocked the view !

[@yliahstuart-serrano6394]

i agree ab what you said at the end, america still has a ways to go. i’m half filipino and people will still say things like “it’s you!” pointing to literally any asian they see on tv or the media. even bts. the sad thing is none of them think it’s wrong bc “asians don’t care” or we’re “not an important minority”

[@RamyaRKamath]

Babies, I'm sure having bodyguards wouldn't stop other celebrities from approaching them. If bodyguards did stop a celebrity like that, it would be a scandal.

[@DL-wu9kk]

wow you guys are celebrities now. =) love the behind-the-scene commentary. sucks you didn't get better seats tho. welcome to the inefficiency of the States lol. anyways, love the screaming fans when BTS won the award. so surreal that this is happening in the States! i'm so proud as a Korean too.

[@kimkk4466]

Its just a lil headass to say they have bodyguards so nobody interacts with them. U got a lot of female seat fillers in there ofc i would want to protect my artists. Plus wydm no human interaction when a lot of artist literally approached them and got to talk to them, those guards are there to protect bts from fangirls. Just felt a lil iffy about what u guys said, yall were there but didn’t see artist approach bts?

[@renlicstr5288]

5:37 “fck you, get the fck out!” HAHAHAHAH such a mood

[@4lymy]

lmao was the clickbait worth it? bts NEED the security, y’all were there, did you NOT see bts get swarmed right after one of the performances bc fans turned to them right when the music ended? it is NECESSARY, bts had little security at the grammys bc it’s only invite only but this is not the case, obviously. they met khalid and terry crews on the carpet AND other artists backstage so was the last bit necessary?

[@beyondangie10]

OH MY GOD ... I cant believe I didnt know about this earlier. I was there in the stands. You guys are my favorite Korean Commentators!!! I wish I could have met you there. Maybe next year !!

welcome to america and if you thought seatfillers was disorganized don’t even get me started on concert GA lineups especially for bts. the venues, staff, organizers, etc underestimate

[@feauinaosa5436]

I did not expect this for BBMA being disorganized. Tbh BTS concert venue is wayyyyy more organized and they prioritized their fans/attendees way more better than BBMA.

[@aashig99]

I understand the need for bodyguards.. but hearing from this point of view does make me sad. thanks you for showing us the behind the scenes guys!!! Also, I wanted to know.. did they not get to interact with the artists they wanted backstage..?

[@youexpectedanamebutitwasmedio]

One question, there are so much 김 (Kim), 박 (Park) & 이 (Lee) last names... You just said in korea there would be one desk for A-E. Do they put an extra desk for each 김, 박 & 이? 😂😂😂

[@baconx2690]

Actually in fancams artists did come and talk to BTS, body guards were on look out but the boys still chatted with Khalid, Jonas, Terry Crews etc....the body guards only interfered when there were fans brought to the front for the jonas brothers & after their song "sucker" ended these fans were literally beside bts esp jimin & were taking pictures so that's when the bodyguards really surrounded them. In the venue there were only around 8 surrounding them when those girls came close, I think for each member + bangtan bomb girl taking the behind the scenes vids. Each artist has 1 or 2 bodyguard with them (I forgot her name but there was an artist behind bts accompanied by a body guard).

[@chryztah]

[@pcksanjana]

I think you just missed the point. What they pointed is actually a sad fact, at least I think it is. They didn't mean it in a bad way. It's true that the bodyguards were there for their safety but we never know, BTS would've probably liked to have some space and wanted to interact with others.

[@chryztah]

@@ok-xu6pt well.. i just went for all the positive vibes. well of course, human as we are we get to have our own struggles as well as BTS too. So yeah, just positive.. :-)

@SeeSea Covers hahaha... it makes my heart ache every time i hear negative things about BTS.

[@pinkymishra6970]

The kind of life BTS lead I don't want that. I can't even imagine what they have to deal with each and everyday. I mean 20 bodyguards, my GOD. Their fans really need to chill. I want them to atleast experience how non celebrities live, going to a cafe and sitting peacefully, or going to park for cycling and reading a book and spending time with their friends and family without getting mobbed by fans. Don't give them expensive gifts, if you want to give them something, just give them the privacy they deserve and that would be the biggest gift for them.

[@heroinasytumbas3346]

They definitely interacted with many celebs during commercial breaks and backstage, the body guards were there mostly for the fans and regular people trying to approach them. Also, I wouldn't use an old white man's unability to tell asians apart as a way to measure BTS' popularity lol.

[@-68]

I don’t think the bodyguards were to keep artists away. I think it was for their protection from like fans and stuff, cz you’ll notice that at BBMAS, sometimes I’ve seen fans kind of go to the front, or some are already somewhere close to the front where the artists are. Plus you’ll notice that during the Jonas Brothers’ performance, ig part of the performance required the fans to come from the back, going to the front, and the bodyguards went to sort of shield them from that. Plus we all know how saesangs can be. And who knows if there where any present at the show so. I feel like they were just there for safety reasons. Also, the artists where going to them. They interacted with them. I don’t think they pick and chose who could and who couldn’t talk to them. Anyway love you guys. Glad you had a great time.

[@alicenoelvlogs]

I think the 20 bodyguards is an exaggeration. I didn't see 20 in the clips.

[@DKDKTV]

An article told me it was 20, but could be wrong :)

[@NaNa-wy2tk]

It's not surprising. 1 artist usually have like 1-3 bodyguard, so imagine how much bodyguard a group of 7 guys would have.

[@vix742]

I’m glad they had that amount of security. If you watch fancams of a few performances you can see how the stand in people were just trying to get close to them during that time and were holding up the line because they were just staring and trying to say hi to them. If you fallow their twitter or watched their Vlive the boys were able to meet and have interactions with the artist they admired backstage. also, maybe you just couldn’t see but artist did have a chance to interact with the boys while they were in their seats.

[@merriellenroselette5191]

I'm proud of the guards to be honest. Their security guards work very hard. You never know what might happen, Bless them for keeping our boys safe overseas.💜💜 And omg, that old white man is so rude. Not every all-dressed up, young Asian men, is 'those dancing boys'. 😆🤦‍♀️

I definitely think so. David said he found out later from an article. He doesn't know for sure. I searched for Bts articles that mentioned bodyguards and couldn't find any or any Bts related articles. They are the only ones claiming that.
