THIS IS BTS - Introduction to BTS (Reaction) | American Reacts to BTS

I highly recommend reacting to a recent live they posted called BTS Room Live. It is about ten minutes long and is a medley of songs from 2013 to 2020, so it gives you a really good taste of their musical variety in terms of sound as well as a nice look at their live vocals.

But I mean BigHit isnt as small anymore though ... The company progressed with BTS they are now called HYBE labels and they just bought ithaca holdings recently so they now own a big chunk of western artist under their belt. Justin Bieber ,Ariana grande, Demi lovato and Blackeyed peas are now their company friends. Their CEO is such a great person he actually offered each of the members of BTS to have a portions of shares of HYBE before they became public with their IPO so technically they also have a huge amount of say and how they are presented and honestly they still feel as sincere as they were when they started.

Some good live performances: 1. Tiny desk concert (has CC’s) 2. Film Out (there are 2 new live performances on their channel, and both are amazing) 3. 2019 MMA performance of Dionysus (literally just an athletic feat to sing and do that choreo together) 4. Anpanman (super fun but meaningful song) 5. Go Go (super fun but meaningful song) 6. Black Swan from The Tonight Show (has CC’s) 7. Home from The Tonight Show (has CC’s) 8. On: Grand Central Station Good MVs: 1. On: kinetic manifesto film 2. Blood, Sweat, and Tears 3. Black Swan 4. Boy with Luv 5. Fire Fun dance practices: 1. Baepsae (better if you watch the one with English subs. The lyrics are amazing) 2. Go Go halloween version For understanding some of their newer album series: For the Love Yourself series, you can watch these solo songs in order to understand the story being told- 1. Euphoria 2. Serendipity 3. Singularity 4. Epiphany You can also watch these group songs in order: 1. DNA 2. Fake Love 3. Idol For the Map of the Soul series, these 3 songs express Jung’s Map of the Soul theory: 1. Persona 2. Shadow 3. Ego All of their solo work is also amazing. Suga goes by Agust D for his mixtape stuff, but everyone else is the same. I also highly recommend watching their Carpool Karaoke, Flinch, and Buzzfeed puppy interview to quickly get to know their personalities. YouTube likely won’t let you post it here, but just for your own sake to get to know them. They’re not long videos.

I hope you’ll fall into the never ending rabbit hole of our boys, because you are my new favorite reactor!! 💜

Nowadays Big Hit is the biggest music entertainment company out of South Korea. They are called Hybe nowadays and they just bought the management company Itchaca which manages Justin Bieber, Arianna Grande, Demi Levato etc. They have contacts with Colombia records, Sony and more. But BTS had said also that they could have gone faster but they choose rather to go on together... Like you said.

I am 54 years old in two weeks and this is the best fandom I have ever been a part of. ARMY are motivated by love, self-love, kindness, acts of charity and educating others. Happy you are considering joining us! I look forward to your continued education. There are fantastic videos out there to give you that education.

I enjoyed listening to this intro with you. I hope you check out their older songs in a wide range of genres. To get the most out of their music videos like "Spring Day" or "Idol" or "Blood, Sweat and Tears" you should watch an "explained" video as the symbolism goes so deep. That's not even to mention the on-going BTS universe storyline that underlies all their earlier works. To appreciate their vocals try their NPR'S Tiny Desk Concert or their cover of Coldplay's Fix You. BTW, I'm 73 years old and have been a fan for several years.

One thing I would say is that while BTS came out of the K-pop genre, they are really their own genre. It's very hard to put them in a box.

RM, SUGA, J-Hope - the rappers of the group - are credited as songwriters and composers almost in all BTS songs. RM is credited as songwriter in 174 songs, SUGA in 124, J-Hope in 112. Vocalists are participating in songwriting as well and all members have experience in producing. One of them - SUGA - is an established producer, who is working as producer with other famous artists as well and winning awards for his work

Thank you for actually taking the time to learn about BTS and not shaking it off from one song. You taking 30mins out of your time to learn about them is awesome! Look forward to more reactions to BTS from you! Army 💜 thanks you for your respect and support of the guys! Much respect for you!!

1:35 well respect begets respect. Many people tend to say that our fandom is too toxic and don't want to get close to us but, NO. We have such a loving and welcoming community, Yeah we have toxic side like every fandom does but this fandom was thought by BTS to be respectful and loving person. We're not just enjoying their music but also learn and grow through their messages💜

As a 23yo female, I have been a part of many fandoms over the years, and I have NEVER been part of a fandom as kind, caring, and active as ARMY. I also have never seen an artist that talks about how much they appreciate their fans so much. One of the members put it as "I feel like even though I don't know every ARMY personally, we are still friends" which was very sweet. BTS has done so much for me in terms of growing as a person and overcoming my depression and anxiety, not to mention the fact that they have made me drastically more open-minded when it comes to life. I truly feel like when it comes to BTS, there is something for every type of person as they cover so many different styles of music.

I'm so happy and surprised that you decided to look into BTS in a deeper way after only 1 song!! Thank you so so much for taking your time to listen and appreciate our boys. Thank you so so much!! Welcome to the family 👪💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Thank you for your kind words. There is another one by xceleste : bts from nobodies to legend 2019..

BTS and ARMY are family. These 7 men have earned every person's heart that they have won. When you get to know know BTS, you will learn that the love goes so much farther than their amazing music and dance talents. They bring light to so many people 🥰💜💜💜

hii please react to “an introduction to the seven members of BTS” by Ida S (it is the most up to date video that introduces the members)💜. also from xceleste “BTS hardships”, “BTS contribution to music”, and “this is BTS ARMY”. and lastly “the most beautiful life goes on, a story of BTS” by Asian theory.💜💜 all of these introductions give insight into BTS as a whole and the members individually. hope you enjoy💜💜

Their Tiny Desk Concert from NPR is essentially a live recording. They are sitting around in a small studio with a live band behind them just singing Three of their songs. The first one is Dynamite which is their other English language hit single from last summer. Both of these are designed as mood lifters. The other two songs, Save Me and Spring Day have a much more solemn tone and a lot of deep thoughts.

These guys are so humble, they compete against each other for food coupons. I love it, and hilarious. They have never changed since they debuted. I respect them and I am 56 yrs.

This reaction had me going thru a wave of emotions lol I´m so happy you desided to continue with BTS, but I would have thought you would have continued with some more music videoes. I´m glad you desided to do this first <3 xceleste has some of my favorite documentaries about BTS and ARMY. I hope you will react to more of those, especially to get to know them more individually. There is a series about BTS called The Rise Of Bangtan, it´s absolutely worth while watching. It starts of by telling the story of how idols come to be in Korea vs how BTS came to be. There are, so far, 12 episodes. Looking forward to seeing more. Borahae <3 (Bora=purple wich is the official color representing BTS and ARMY, hae=part of the word saranghae=I love you. So in short: I purple you and a purple heart is something you will see a lot in the commentary ;) ) Recomendations: Black Swan, Fake Love, ON kenetic manifesto, House of Cards, Mikrokosmos, Truth Untold..... Geee I could go on for hours and not reach the end lol Just do what you feel like doing ;)

SUGA was signed as producer and later was convinced to become member. Right now he works as producer at the same time as he is member of the group. He is working with very famous Korean artists and won multiple awards like "best producer", "best r&b", "song of the year", etc. SUGA and RM were undeground rappers. RM was active in undeground hip hop scene since he was 14. RM wrote lyrics for other artists in their company. J-Hope, RM, SUGA write music since pre-debut. They are credited as songwriters since first album. All three of them have solo career as well, they release their mixtapes for free, these mixtapes are written by them and in SUGA's case also produced by him. All members can play different instruments. For example, V learned saxophone when he was a kid. Jin plays piano and guitar. Jungkook plays guitar and learning drums. Jimin learned piano. SUGA however is the only member who plays an instrument fluently at a performing level - piano. He is also learning guitar right now and thinks about learning how to play drums. They are all-rounded musicians and they truly love music
