THE RISE OF BANGTAN | Chapter 06: Cypher – UK K-Pop Fans Reaction
Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel. We’re back with another K-Pop reaction for you here today, continuing The Rise of Bangtan with Chapter 06, focused on Cypher.
This chapter dives into how Cypher became a defining outlet for BTS, both musically and emotionally. It explores the role these tracks played in expressing frustration, confidence, and identity at a time when the group were still fighting to be taken seriously. There’s a strong emphasis on how raw honesty and lyrical intent shaped not just the songs, but the group’s wider narrative.
As we watch, we talk through how Cypher fits into BTS’s early growth, what it represented for the members at the time, and why it still resonates so strongly now. It’s a chapter that highlights conviction, resilience, and the power of using music as a response rather than a retreat.

Also yes, the first two albums is also an excellent idea lol
Dark & Wild era it's such a painful time for them, I'm sure you're gonna get more and more information about it, and you can already see a little in this chapter, but God they were struggling so bad. I read their book, it was really a situation to give up and they didn't, not only the money was a problem, the lack of sleep, the intensity of the schedule, they didn't have breaks between albums for like 2 years... 2014 was hell for them, to the point we almost lose members that couldn't see their future ahead as idols. The conditions were bad and the results wasn't enough, but thankfully a good amount of people were there to support, their authenticity reach overseas and the next album save them 😭
Loved this reaction 💜
Yesss!!! Would love all the album reactions! And so excited to see Rise of Bangtan back!
Would love to watch your album reviews 👍
So here for more album reactions 😁🙌
Would love some albums reviews!
guys!! some more lore on the bts staff in case u didn’t know . as you guys noticed cypher pt 3. features supreme boi who was a former bts trainee like it said in the video. him and suga were originally producers for bighit however bang pd managed to convince them to become trainees for the bts lineup. ultimately supreme boi decided to leave the group before the final lineup (obviously suga stayed). however he continued to work as a producer for bighit and produced a lot of bts’s discography along with the rap line. to this day he is still a producer for bighit and is currently working with cortis !! he’s seen a lot in their documentary and he’s credited under most of their discography as well. he’s now a sought after producer along with son sungdeok (bts’s choreographer) who’s a big name now in the industry. it’s really endearing to see that as bts was rising to fame, the people working with them did as well. son sungdeok is now the performance director behind many groups like txt, katseye, and enhypen!! (he was a judge in iland, the program which created enhypen and &audition, the program which created &team), he was also in the katseye documentary as a special director.
wasn't it that supreme boi was in og line up with rm and iron, then the plan got scrapped and they change it to k-pop group? bc if i remember correctly yoongi auditioned in the infamous 'hit it the second audition' and he used namjoon's beat. and then at the hit it audition final, the og 3 trainees would perform something.
GIVE ME THE WINGS ALBUM REVIEW 😤
