The Big Three is referring to companies not specific groups. SM, YG, and JYP were called the Big 3 because, prior to BTS, they completely dominated the kpop business. One of the reasons BTS received a lot of hate in Korea early on and were told they couldn't succeed is specifically because they came from a tiny poor company (Big Hit) instead of one of the Big 3.

BigHit is extremely lenient with BTS and gives them so much freedom, even from the beginning.

[@Ahjusshi_Brown]

Jin’s struggle started after he was picked up for his looks. Jin has faced much criticism for his vocals and dancing skills early in their career, and he’s posted blogs back then where he was showing himself practicing and training and trying to get better. Today, JIN IS AMAZING as a vocalist and entertainer but he’s struggled a lot behind the scenes to get here. But because of his fight to get where he is, he’s probably the most humble when it comes to his vocal abilities (despite him being able to hit astronomically high notes 😂😂 and having unmatched stability when performing live)

He just knows how to talk well, you can also see that in his lyrics since he loves reading books, poems and is interested in social studys.

[@aparnay6391]

Genuinely squealed out loud at this! So a couple things: RM is like a certified genius (with an IQ of 148), while RM is still the only fluent one in English, the others have gotten a lot better now too, Jin is a phenomenal singer who's literally honed his craft beautifully over the years, he can also play the guitar and piano. Suga is definitely doing a lot better these days in regards of his mental health (he also uses writing songs as a cathartic way of expressing himself), J-Hope is honestly such a pillar for BTS (RM has said many times that J-Hope is like another leader, just behind the scenes), Jimin arguably has grown the most since this video came out, he is still a hard worker but is much more confident in his skills now. V is such a kid at heart, he is quirky, playful and very mischievous, but is also a really deep thinker who has a very unique outlook on life. Jungkook was dubbed the Golden Maknae by RM and rightfully so, he is SO talented.

Only BTS has their own variety show because from the past BTS treat unfair when artist invite them. This list their most popular & hit variety show. -Run BTS. -BON BOYAGE. -BTS GAYO. -BTS IN THE SOOP.

[@sarahj3589]

I will add some information so you guys can understand what are these shows (sorry for my English I taught myself just like RM😅) . So first Run BTS (it is ongoing show right now, a new ep each week) is kinda based on gaming and all theses fun activities they do and compete to win. Second we have Bon Voyage (my favorite so far) it has 4 seasons .. in every season they travel to a different country and explore a new places & sometimes they have specific missions they have to do depending on what is the theme of the season. And most of the boys (except of RM) didn’t speak English well at that time so you get to see how they handle all the struggles they had & how to communicate in order to get things done, it was soo fun and enjoyable show I felt like I am traveling with them. I laughed so hard on each episode of all the 4 seasons. Of course there are some hardships I got to witnessed and that just made me respect them even more!. Lastly there is BTS In The Soop (it consists 8 ep) it was filmed during the pandemic so its so relaxing and relatable. I’m watching ep 7 right now it’s soo funny. Sorry, I didn’t watch BTS Gayo so I have no idea what it is.

[@sini8642]

About the dating thing: BTS is allowed to date In kpop there are dating-bans but most groups are allowed to date, it's more of a thing that if you do then you keep it as a "secret". None of the members have had public relationships but I think it's always so hilarious that people really think that they haven't seen anyone in the past decade just because they are kpop idols. Also the colored contacts are very common in kpop for music videos and photo shoots. It has started to become rare to see Jimin with brown eyes instead of blue :D

"big 3" are the 3 biggest kpop companies in south korea, YG, JYP and SM. (Well now BigHit, bts's company is bigger than all 3 combined) Those companies would be controlling broadcast shows, media, award shows....ect Before BTS came up, most groups from small companies would just disband due to a lack of success and exposure since they are cut from broadcast and not given many opportunities to succeed. BTS's first debut performance only came up because another group wasn't here to perform, so they replaced them, but their performances would still get cut by broadcasters. (Because their company didn't have enough power over the Industry), their achievments would get hidden and not talked about, they'd rarely be invited on award shows despite outselling everyone, and if they were, they'd be forced to perform in the red carpet only and change in front of the bathrooms instead of a proper changing room like privileged idols from the big3 (who had the audacity to mock them for it too). You mentioned big bang, big Bang is from YG ent, one of the big3. YG is known for the inconsiderable amount of mediaplay and shady contracts and treatment with their idols. SM suck ass too. . JYP suck less than both but he literally mistreats his boygroups. Anyway, i don't like thee big 3 and the way they did everything to tarnish bts's reputation and stop them from succeeding because they were slowly breaking the monopoly those companies put into the industry. The fact that bts is the first non big 3 artist to even win artist of the year prove that they are breaking this monopoly, and a lot of groups from small companies have been thriving and succeeding worldwide or in south korea since then.

If you’d like to know more specifically about some of the challenges and adversity bts has faced, the channel Xceleste has a few videos on it, her “nobodies to legends” series (there are multiple, basically new ones made yearly to update on all the new stuff that happened, a lot of the info is shared across the vids but of course not all of it), she also has one specifically talking about hardships, I can’t remember the title but it has the word hardships in it, she may have some more on a similar topic? She makes some interesting videos! If you’d like to maybe look more into bts’ lyricism and the thought and meaning they put into some of their music but feel like you can’t react to their music, I recommend watching the music video for their song “spring day” off camera then watching an explanation video or two on it, there are lots out there, 2 specifically very good ones come to mind that I can’t remember the names of right now but are easy to find. In a similar vain, the channel sksk tv has “___ explained by a korean” series in which they take some bts songs and explain and breakdown the lyrics and meaning, so you could find those videos and watch the music videos / listen to the songs first off cam and then react to those- just some ideas! As for the comment on them doing everything on their variety show, you’re not wrong! However when you mentioned that the clips showing weren’t from the show we’ve been telling you about, some of them were from their old show “American hustle life” (your learned about that in the last video), and some of the clips were from “bangtan bombs” which are usually shorter videos uploaded to bighit’s channel of random things, they go all the way back to their debut until present day, there’s hundreds of them! (They also have longer versions of these called “bts episodes” which are things like behind the scenes of award shows), the channel “bangtan subs” has versions with subtitles for pretty much all of those as well as for behind the scenes of music videos and such as until very recently the actual videos never had subtitles. So those are some things you’d possibly be interested in too, A LOT of their life is captured on camera. They also have dvds, things called “seasons greetings”, their show bon voyage (and the 2020 edition called “in the soop”), old appearances on Korean variety shows and radio before they stopped doing those, global interviews and appearances, live streams, LOTS of content lol, so whilst they’ve done a ton of stuff on their variety show, not everything comes from it! This video is outdated at this point but a decent start! Like now other members have learned guitar, they all have many solo songs, there are newer mixtapes and solo projects in general, they moved buildings so their studios are different and rm’s has a different name due to his name change (its no longer MON STUDIO but is called Rkive now!) etc. Aside from that it also portrays them in a very stereotypical way as they were quite popular stereotypes in the fandom at the time (like a big example is suga, he definitely is an introvert and can be quite and sleepy and shy but a lot of the time yoongi is loud and outgoing and funny and extremely caring and soft, hes never tried to keep an “edgey” image, none of them ever try to keep a particular image, they’re all unapologetically themselves in every way!) that’s just one example, but especially if you do watch their variety show you’ll come to learn more about how they actually are! I also forgot to mention, they have docuseries and movies that show the very real, harsh reality behind what it’s like to tour. Burn the stage, bring the soul and break the silence are what they’re called (I believe released in that order too?), for example it shows them being injured and ill, the reality of putting in so much effort (often seen using canisters of air to help catch their breath), they speak about struggles as well as just their overall thoughts, it shows them arguing and how they resolve it, things going wrong and staff having to act on the fly to keep the show running smoothly. It’s a very raw, true documentary style thing, so that may interest you in terms of learning about the behind the scenes of things too! In regards to dating, it’s definitely a taboo in the industry, bts have never really had “dating scandals” (people have tried though, this one source gave up following them as they were always just with each other lol) but lots of idols do go through them and some are confirmed by companies and things just kinda move on but there have been bad scenarios, but I don’t believe in Bts’ contract specifically there’s anything that prevents them from doing so? That does happen though. There are also other taboo things like idols getting tattoos and there are weird broadcasting laws regarding them and stuff so Jungkook has hand tats and a sleeve (we haven’t seen it all) and he got in a bit of a scandal for that but it was a bs scenario, at the beginning he had to cover them quite a bit but now not so much (we still haven’t seen the full sleeve though that may just be his personal choice), jimin also has tattoos (a large chest tat, one of his wrist and 1 above each elbow) and sometimes they have to be covered up for tv and stuff too. Just another interesting cultural difference that might interest you! As for coloured contacts, idk about Korea as a whole but it’s definitely the norm in kpop, tons of idols wear them and it’s not a big deal at all! Sorry this is so long I probably had more to say in regards to other things you said but I can’t remember lol hope this is useful if you do actually read this 💀

Most of the rookie idols have coined Jimin as their role-model or as someone they look up to. [he is termed as the Rookie Bible] 2. Idols [rookie or not] have praised and mentioned Jimin's ability to perform as something they hadn't seen in anyone before. 3. His unique voice always catches people off-guard especially when a musician or a vocal-coach listens to him. 4. His contemporary dance background adds a flair to his dance which cannot be recreated and a stage presence that cannot be ignored. 5. When a vote was conducted world-wide on who is the King of Kpop Jimin won the title twice. 6. Jimin's charisma that not only lures female fans but also male fans. Also known as the Jimin effect. [he has the largest amount of fan-boys currently] 7. The King of Brand reputation King. He has claimed the throne for the best brand reputation from Brand reputation index list [male idols] (the research was conducted by Korea Business Research Institute) for the 27th consecutive month. [the first idol to do that] 8. Personality and aura he carries. 9. Perfectionism and work ethic. I think this much is enough [?]

K-Pop started or propagated these concepts in the group where there are vocalists/singers, rappers, and dancers also leaders, centers/faces, and are marked with "main" and "lead" as ranking. Solidifying these concepts made K-Pop idol culture unique and brought many revolutionary things to the world. I am just so happy that K-Pop is starting to get known a lot worldwide.

hi !! i enjoy your reaction! and as a korean, color contact are common in Korea. Not only idols but also ordinary people, including me, do it often. and no one thinks its weird. i use translation.. i hope u understand my answer

about ages, when they say their ages 99% of the time they mean their korean age which is 1-2 years older than their international age, it depends on the time. like koreans are 1 year old right away when they are born and when each year passes (like 31.december - 1.january) a year is added, they still celebrate usual birthdays too though

Loved your sensitive reactions. You picked up on how important J-Hope is to the group! He is the snow leopard who teaches each of BTS how to move, then "hides"in the point position, second row, where he can see everything. In concerts, he just draws attention by his expert motion.

[@kabazinga]

just a reminder that this video was made in 2018, so many things have changed and this also has some bad stereotypes, the best way to get to know the members is to watch official content (run bts, bon voyage, in the soop, all the documentaries and films, you can find them on weverse and vlive)

[@ashleyder9164]

I know plenty of people who react to Run BTS on KZbin without a problem. I think on occasion they've had to edit the opening music, but it hasn't been much of an issue. One KZbinr, Ukin, has reactions to almost the entire series on KZbin. You absolutely cannot react to Bon Voyage on KZbin though.

[@charlynemejia9399]

I know I guys probably get a lot of requests but if u wanna see their goofy personalities I suggest u react to “a meme filled guide to BTS”

[@Rina-np3ki]

i think a lot of people in eastern asia use eye contacts to make their eyes seem bigger! not just the idols, but the general public also

[@jungcookies3530]

They wear eye contacts because it makes it more shiny and give doll-like effect. Not just to make their eyes look bigger though, Some of them wear coloured contacts for style as well

[@jessicaelle0988]

They don't have a reaction channel lol ^^ they usually react to the final version of their MV's, usually the title song of their new album. They share little behind the scene stories, laugh of themselves, tell the other members what they liked the most etc. It became pretty common in the Kpop industry 🤷

[@jsoo_i]

The members do understand English but just can’t speak it that well. But they practice and have gotten much much better as the years went by.

[@kwm1013]

I was so happy when this popped up. I've been waiting for more BTS content because I really like the open mindedness and intelligence you bring to your reactions. Colored contacts is very much a thing with idols, but I have no idea about the Korean general public. Steph, the whole thing about Jimin and charisma is so true. It's funny that a lot of times new reactors kind of sleep on Jimin, but give it a few minutes and he's stolen their souls. He seems to collect US male talk show hosts as his own... and lots of self-proclaimed "straight" male reactors fall under his spell. Finally... concerts. There was a time when we could get right up next to the stage, but that time has been gone for several years. Although I love the massiveness and feel of stadium concerts, I also miss the smaller venues. I heard you both say several times that you wanted to go to a concert. BTS postponed their 2020 concert and many of us kept our tickets (I would rather starve than get rid of mine). However, when the rescheduled concert is announced - be ready. Getting tickets is horrible, horrible. Ticket days are nightmarish. I feel sick just thinking about the anxiety of ticket day. The stadium tours have made it so you have a better chance of getting a ticket, but good tickets go fast, fast, fast (minutes) - as you wait in a queue that says there are 5000+ people in line ahead of you. But if you get a ticket - even if it's in the top row in a stadium, you will enjoy yourself. There is nothing like a BTS concert!!! Which is probably why ARMY end up going to multiple concerts in multiple cities. Hope to see you at one of them (my tickets are Orlando and Chicago)!!

[@snowberry24]

Thank you so much for reacting!! I love your reactions and cant wait to see your reactions to RUN BTS!! You will also get to know know how they are with each other through the Varity show.

[@mariyarosa170]

Everytime your voice gets louder, I'm getting scared for the baby haha 😂. Nice reaction!

[@mochipjamas]

Yes, colored contacts are pretty prevalent in Kpop. In fact, BTS were spokespeople for a colored contact company, the name escapes me right now! Kpop uses a lot of high fashion costumes, makeup, jewelry, hair colors, and other accessories we don't see a lot in the west. It's very visually oriented. Suga once described Kpop as less of a genre and more of an "Integrated content" that includes the music and visual production.

41:37 The 'Big 3' are basically 3 big companies in SK called SM, YG and JYP Ent. These three companies are very big and thousands of Kpop groups come from them. They had a lot of power when it comes to promoting groups and music, but they also have a really bad reputation of treating the idols really badly, such as forcing them to do extreme diets etc. Bighit was a really small company so it was very surprising that they were able to come this far. Unlike the other companies, Bighit gave more freedom and actually allowed BTS to have a say in everything they do and allowing them to write and produce their own music. It was a huge accomplishment. Where so many Kpop groups and idols would be debuting in the other companies, Bighit became so big just through the one group, BTS. And BigBang was a group from YG Ent, they were known as the 'Kings of Kpop.' They were very successful but they had to go to the mandatory military training and eventually their popularity died down. However, they have great music too!

[@jumpinthecadillac9507]

the interesting thing about jin's situation is that it SEEMS like he has it easiest since he was just seen in the street and casted, but that actually means he has unique challenges such as having to prove himself worthy, showing that he's more than a pretty face, since he wasn't chosen for his singing or his dancing, but rather for something superfluous like appearance.

41:42 the big three are the three biggest kpop entertainments in Korea: YG (with Blackpink, Big Bang, 2NE1,...), JYP (Psy in the past, Twice and Stray Kids,...) and SM (Super Junior, Exo, Nct, Red velvet,...) They are the ones that have always dominated the charts in korea and won all the Awards
