BTS 'Yet To Come' FULL CONCERT REACTION (part 1 of 2)

When it comes to preference of rap vs. vocal line I believe variety is the spice of life and thoroughly enjoy both!

This concert is one of my favorites and I hadn't watched it in a while. It's so much fun to see you enjoying it too! No need to apologize for calling out the members as you're learning them--we were all there once haha Can't wait for part 2!

Thank you for this reaction! I’m so happy we get to watch this concert with you! I really love this one because it is so diverse and highlights their singing, rapping, and choreography really well. I love the diversity in their music (rap/vocals); can’t say that I prefer one over the other because my music tastes change with my mood or what I’m doing 😂 I can’t wait for your reactions the rest of the concert because the energy keeps going throughout the night. Butterfly is one of my favorites too. I loved your take on how the artist should be thinking about the meaning of the words which will offer a more genuine performance. Since BTS has had more input and/or written their music, I think the authenticity really comes through. As for butterfly, there are two versions. The one they perform here is the prologue mix and there is another version that includes the rap line as well. I think a deep dive into both would be interesting because they have slightly emotions (in my opinion).

To my understanding units are official groupings of specific members for promotional purposes where lines are more unofficial and based on shared characteristics. Such as rap line referring to all the rappers, or the 95-line referencing which members were born in 1995. BTS does not have any official company designated units

Fun trivia, yes both Jungkook and Jimin are from Busan, but Jimin has the nickname “Prince of Busan”. Also yes there is Run BTS the song, and Run which is a different song. Neither one to be confused with Run BTS! which is is their personal variety show

Guess Tim forgot or didn’t notice we also provided a labeled picture of the first set outfits. No matter, you actually did a pretty good job identifying who is who. I certainly wouldn’t mind a deep dive of Butterfly, it’s a beautiful song. BTS truly is a performance group. The music is good, but live performance is where they really shine. Cant wait for part two

Thank you for the reaction! I am glad the community pushed to have you react to this concert first. I would also like a deep dive into Butterfly! They cut out the rap lines and choreo for this concert but together make a beautiful song.

Also, yes Tim you have heard Save Me before on the Tiny Desk reaction!

Thank you so much for this reaction Tim!! I loved going through the first set of the concert with you. It’s genuinely one of my favourite-ever performances. I’m glad it’s been useful in getting to know the members and their voices. I really feel that once you gain a bit of familiarity each of their voices is so distinctive in different tracks. Of course I’ve had lots of practice haha! BTS’s energy on stage is always insane, but this concert feels especially crazy to me. It was a shorter length than usual and a one-off event so they were able to pack it full of well-loved songs and choreography. I would LOVE a deeper study into Butterfly, it’s a favourite of mine! One thing I always admire when they perform group vs. rap line vs. vocal line songs is what you mentioned about almost having two separate groups. While they all explore within genres, each different line really has the ability to go full-in on their specialty when performing. Rap line tracks go HARD always and are often very raw. The vocal line has some gorgeous tracks, and I agree that they have so much sensitivity in their voices. It can feel a bit like whiplash but it also makes for such an emotionally fulfilling concert experience. Get ALL of your different emotions out there on the stage to full capacity haha. Group songs are a great balance, and many come with amazing choreography. They have had so much experience over the years learning how to complement each other despite very different individual music tastes and I think it’s awesome. I listen to music while working, to get hyped up, to contemplate late at night etc. haha so I’m biased to either the rap line or vocal line depending on my mood. A bit of context that will be useful later on - Yet To Come in Busan was the last concert BTS performed prior to their hiatus for military enlistment. The members were aware of this and ARMY had strong suspicions (I don’t think it had been officially announced). Because of this emotions were very high for both the members and ARMY, which is pretty obvious in their later comments and comes through in their energy.

Great reaction! So fun to watch this concert again

Jungkook is the main vocalist
