BTS THE RISE OF BANGTAN | Chapter 5: Hip Hop Lover

The people complaining about how Coolio treated V would soon have something to say if a young black man acted in the same way to older Korean men that he didn’t even know!

"Something keeps dangling." Lmfaooo RM !!

ARMY appreciates you guys! Lots of love from Korea:)

It's really funny seeing BTS in America during tour time compared to other places. The vibe is different, they seem a little wilder lol. The joke online is always "what is in that American water". I think if all people could travel to somewhere at least once in their lives the world would be different, you broaden your horizons so much when you can meet all kinds of people.

other idols treated them badly actually lol idols from big companies ignored them or didn't acknowledge them (some even mocked them) since they were from an unknown company (bighit), and also most people didn't understand why they were so loved when they were "nothing". most of the kpop industry still think of them this way, they don't understand what's so special about bts when there are so many kpop groups. they talk a little about this in their book "beyond the story", they mention how it affected them to be treated like that earlier on in their carrier and how lonely they felt, since they didn't have supportive seniors.

And they are still giving back today. BTS is very philanthropic and a model for us all. Min Yoongi gave a huge sum to build a center for autistic students just last year and worked directly with a doctor and the students themselves.

The first two eps of American Hustle Life (AHL ) are very difficult to watch and Suga stepped up to it and then they switched Coolio with other mentor but as difficult as the two eps are the rest of the show was pretty good. They got to meet the rappers and musicians they looked upto and learned a lot. Especially Ms. Iris Stevenson recognized the soulfulness of Tae's voice.

Who’s Coolio, who’s Warren G, what’s Regulate?! I feel sooooooooo old right now, lol. Next you’ll say, what’s Boyz n the Hood? I’m going to bust out my old school yellow Walkman and listen to some Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, like I did when I walked to high school every morning. 😢😂😉💜🫰🏻

지금의 뷔도 좋아하지만 당시 그저 순수하고 장난기 많았던 뷔도 정말 좋아합니다💜 정국이도 태형이 덕분에 성격이 많이 바뀌었다고 했죠👍 데뷔초 아무도 bts에 대해 잘 몰랐을때 태형이 덕을 많이 봤다고 멤버들도 인정했죠. 누구든 처음이 있고 어린시절이 있잖아요😁개구쟁이지만 매사 긍정적이고 마냥 해맑았던(지금도 진실된건 같지만)어린 태형이가 가끔 그립기도 합니다🥰

Hi guys! Now that you’re watching Rise of Bangtan, PLEASE listen to some of their older songs listed below.

Jimin and Tony💜💜💜💜💜 https://youtu.be/9EfK9pHS4Sw?si=W-gs6FWkG-VjWbys

Please watch the American Hustle series. Yes, it caused a bit of controversy, but it gave the boys a needed boot camp to broaden their knowledge and experiences for growth internally. The best part of the series is at the end is their 1st ever concert in America - a much watch! thanks Not sure if anyone mentioned already but Iris Stevenson is the woman that Sister Act was based on - played by Whoopi Goldberg

Does anyone know when they are going to upload today's video

Guys I really hope u going upload the flying yoga episode before new year starts.. it will be one of the best gifts

guys i have to say!! apparently coolio was told to exaggerate stuff on camera by staff, i dont think the members knew or maybe they did but he was just acting

I still miss Jimin and Tony to this day 😁💜

Please post “the rise of bangtan” on YouTube too! 🙏🏻

the vibe they had at that time (being all 7 of them in the us making music), BTS did it again a few weeks/months ago, after they got all out of the military service, they all lived in a house to write and work on their new album

ARMY have trauma of American Hustle Life in LA because they wer bullied from the start to finish. Before the first scene they were kidnapped and JK was 16 and he was about to cry. Those toxic masculinity men are not meant to teach our gentlemen. Only the classes they attended were good, yet full of prejudice.

You guys should watch V’s Tony desk performance

The fanchant are made of the members birth names and oldest to youngest but RM goes first because he's the leader: Kim Namjoon (RM) Kim Seokjin (Jin) Min Yoongi (Suga) Jung Hoseok (JHope) Park Jimin (Jimin) Kim Taehyung (V) Jeon Jungkook (Jungkook) BTS!

Hi guys, you may consider watching the American Hustle Life, the whole thing, it's really good!

Dear ARMY I m not spamming other comments section but I write this message bcz there is all army so plz i request all that stream RM song more and more to put his song on chart plzz Write post letter and post, fan letter for RM from your heart I u love RM We need to show world and RM that he have more supporter than hater , who want to break bts by twisting words bcz of their comeback ✨🙏🙏 I m requesting to u all stream his song and share this message to all army , group chat s Thankyou so much for reading ✨

You should watch Spine Breaker together with the making of the song

First, this was a TV show so some of it was probably for the camera. However, it is well known that young V was the guy who screwed around all the time and he was, at times, disruptive and a pain in the butt to the team's living and working situation. He really had a long way to go to become mature. But, his nature was also lots of fun and he made friends easily. Coolio wanted impress on them all that they were expected to take things seriously and honor the genre of hip hop.

Fun fact: One of their tutors (Nate?) confessed that another korean entertainment company tried to tell them not to film American Hustle Life with BTS because they’re nobodies and just “fillers” and that they should join the company’s idol group’s song camp instead. At the time, BTS was just a year old and another boy group (who was a year older than BTS) was at the top of the game. Nate listened to BTS’s songs and watched their MVs and was impressed with the boys saying they clearly know what they’re doing that he didn’t listen to the other company who was trying to poach him.

Guys, instead of posting Dimple+Pied piper video on Youtube, can you please keep it free here? It will get copyright claims on Youtube, so it’s better if you just upload it here so we can enjoy it more.💜💜

Hi guys. Just wanna suggests that if you react to their MVs, pls do it in order from lyric video, practice video, live, then MV last or in any order you would like. Thanks! I love watching your reactions to our Bangtan, I'm just sad I can't watch everything for free 🥹

You should watch the bonus scenes and deleted scenes with each episode, they are connected, the missing bits so do not wait, do them together with each episode, not like last time.

What u hear at the beginning is the fan chant. They're chanting the member's full names. Its start with our leader and then from oldest to youngest. Kim Namjoon Kim Seokjin Min Yoongi Jung Hoseok Park Jimin Kim Taehyung Jeon Jungkook BTS💪🏻💜

To find out what other artists thought about BTS during this time, please watch Boracity Magazine's "Respect Your Seniors, Mock Your Juniors". It correlates to the timeline of when they did American Hustle Life. Also, it's time for you to watch Xceleste's video "BTS Hardships 2013-2021".

This is one of my favorite chapters of ROB. I’m so glad Bang PD had enough confidence in his team to promote them in the US. He knew somewhere in each one of these young boys there was a superstar, but more than anything they were super human beings!

I hope you guys do a concert soon cause bts concerts are so lit. Also, if you want to get to certain songs before watching a concert you could always react to these specific songs and then watch a concert (maybe research the setlist or smth I mean) you could do it similarly to how you did the songs for mama 2019 before reacting to it.

Dark and Wild was a big turning point for BTS. They busted their butts to get things done, learn, develop, and grow. It is inspiring, but it also makes me sad in a way to see what their lifestyle was and had to be to get to where they are now. Also, there's a lot of controversy about American Hustle Life from Army lol a lot of us don't like it because of how the boys were treated and...um...the so called "prank" they pulled on BTS. But regardless of our feelings, we know overall it was a benefit and they learned so much during their time in America. It helped them overall.

You guys mentioned wondering what other idols thought of BTS before they were global superstars, suggestion , watch some of Boracity's mv's she does a good job of compiling information on BTS' journey. She has one "respect your seniors, mock your juniors" | bts' lesson on respect" its worth a watch, it gives you more perspective on their journey and who they are.

you guys should definitely check out the bonus and deleted content at the end of each chapter ,they're great additions to the series and will help you get to know them better

btw the last time they recorded a full album in the us, we got dark&wild, and this time they're doing the same too so yk its gonna be another masterpiece of an album

their album "dark&wild" was recorded in america in that garage, its another one of their insane timeless masterpieces

I absolutely can't watch American hustle life show, I find it so hard for many reasons, for me the rise of Bangtan series already did a good job selecting the important chronological parts, other than that i wouldn't recommend, and I think there are many better enjoyable & informative shows to catch up to💜

i really hope yall do the suchwita eps reactions too

american hustle life is initially a hard watch for all armys but at the end of the day, you gotta realize that they had to experience that to build up their hiphop base and get where they are now, to actually know and represent hiphop for what it is unlike some other kpop idols nowadays

suggestions: plz react to other boracity magazine videos as well. to know more about bts as a group and their history. she explains it very well in her videos.

Hello Ronnie, Rivas, Rowan, Biraj, I heard about the fires in Australia. I hope you're all safe and well. 💜

Guys please watch bts funny moments

Could you watch the deleted scenes and bonus content together with the episode? It’s best to watch them right after because you have all the context :)

Guys you should watch the kidnapping prank they did on them, let's be pissed off together lol

That's American Hustle Life variety show, there's some cringe prank and moments but after second episodes that's variety actually gave good foundation for them.

they've changed so much compared to years ago.... now they can't even speak up for the genocide happening and keep promoting brands that support genocide(V Instagram with coke and Starbucks)

American Hustle Life is pretty key to understanding how BTS became the people they are. Some of the scenes - especially the first couple of episodes - are a really hard watch, but seeing the experiences they had here and the way they all rose to the challenges they were presented with is also enlightening and inspiring Another great reaction, guys - thank you 💜

American hustle life is a hard watch for me. So I don’t recommend you guys watch it ( there’s plenty of better content out there) besides you already saw the good parts. I hope you guys get some more group mvs in, I recommend “danger” before the next rise of bangtan episode.

Next, please watch their official documentary. I recommend BTS Beyond the Star, their latest documentary that sums up their entire journey up to 2023. It is official content, very well made, and available on Disney Plus

So the chant you are hearing in the beginning of the videos are the members names in order of age, except for RM who we say first since he is the leader. It goes: Kim Namjoon Kim Soekjin Min Yoongi Jung Hosoek Park Jimin Kim Taehyung Jeon Jungkook BTS

bruh 😭 army dont like to relive american hustle life ( the show they filmed in la) bc of some of the things that happened that luckily werent shown here lol and now yall got a taste of that 😭 but it did help shape who they are today

Please watch Burn the Stage <3

Before getting to the next episode, it'll be nice if you watch DANGER first, the MV and the dance practice video. The choreo and dance practice of Danger is one of my faves, like the best choreo of all old OG Bangtan songs 🔥🔥🔥

💜🫶🏽 It is always a pleasure watching you guys. 🫶🏽💜

AHL was a hard watch. In hindsight there were some problematic things, but in general i think the boys made the most out of it. This video also didnt include the part where they went on the streets to invite 200 random people to come to their free concert. Watching that always broke my heart, i cant even imagine what they felt at that time.

I’m really glad you guys are watching these episodes! It’s been a really great experience to have with you guys. Sometimes parts are tough to watch, but still important

Honestly the first two episodes are annoying after that it gets better. Its a part of their journey that should be watched.

If you guys want to hear OG celebrity ARMYs, John Cena, and tennis champ Naomi Osaka are two OG ARMYs who've spoken about them. John Cena has said a lot. Actor Simon Pegg is also ARMY

I love this ep bc it shows the best parts of American Hustle Life bc the full thing it's a harsh watch. And idc what people say I just hate the way Coolio treats V, I love Iris for recognize his value to the team, soulful voice indeed 💜

I felt just like you Rowan - I was so upset and frankly super uncomfortable to see how V and the boys was treated on American Hustle which is why I was never able to finish watching that series. BUT from it, it gave BTS a unique experience to become humble and well-rounded artists and overall human beings 💜 there’s no one like them. And the fan chant are their birth names by age but starting with RM as the leader. Can’t wait to hear you guys chant it!!!! 😉💜

I've seen American Hustle Life 3 times, at least, and there are a lot of dickhead moments. I can appreciate what others are saying about learning the roots of hip-hop, an advantage no other k-pop stars had. But I also felt our members were mistreated in some ways, and that bothered me. It's 8 episodes, if you get to it. I know you want to know the cheer, you've mentioned it a couple of times! It starts with the leader and then goes down the members by age: Kim Namjoon! Kim Soekjin! Min Yoongi! Jung Hosoek! Park Jimin! Kim Taehyung! Jeon Jungkook! BTS! BTS! BTS!

Please we need more GROUP mv reactions guys.

Loved your reactions. I truly think you should react to American Hustle Life in full. Here is the 1st ep. BTS AMERICAN HUSTLE LIFE EP. 1 (ENG SUB) - https://youtu.be/bck4PVIShxM?si=UScIWcRp2rYT-uvX Yeah, Coolio was a bit harsh, but he was not wrong. As he said, Hip Hop is a lifestyle created by a culture who felt & were unheard, unappreciated, & discriminated against. It allowed an outlet for the community. It also kept many of the men out of prison. So in his mind & many other rappers/artists, if you want to claim that you're also Hip Hop, then you better at minimum know something about the history. When Coolio was asking them basic questions about Hip Hop, that they couldn't answer, he became aggressive & rude, but he also became determined to educate them. You saw the results, they learned & when quizzed again, they had the answers. Coolio's demeaner was different then, happy & hi fiving. Warren G's approach was completely different. He was warm, accepting, & took them to the hood he (and some other rap legends) grew up in. It was a great show, though I will say that the episode 1 w/the "prank" pissed me all the way off. I didn't like the way they did that at all. The guys 1st impression of my people being some unrealistic, stereotypical, media version of black Americans, specifically black men, sucked. Tony & Nate redeemed that 1st impression, but damn. One of the guys that was initially w/Tony & Nate was a jerk who treated Jin badly & was swiftly removed from the dorm. Otherwise, all the other tutors were amazing, as you saw, & the guys learned a lot & had some good experiences, despite how tired they were. I really hope you watch it. Borahae

American hustle life was hard for me to watch especially the first two episodes so I never completed it but I've seen many parts of it. The lessons BTS learned on the show is still how they live their life today. BTS continuously give back to charity and donate every year on their birthdays. Suga recently opened an Autism centre that "supports the growth of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder through music-based programs that enhance language, behavior, and social skills."

i love how you point out all the important things in this episode, you literally notice all and i love that. there is an episode about pledgarism and i think you should read the comments afterwards because the creator of the videos didn´t go into detail about that. but basically it was nothing. rm was just quoting another writer in his lyrics and then haters attacked him so he had to say sorry. in korea you have to say sorry for everything. suga also had to publically bow to the media because he was driving a kickboard while drinking. it is so stupid. knowing all of that you can imagine how koreans can get depressed. it is a lot of pressure of being bts i cant even imagine how hard it must be for them.

please react to these iconic songs: Dope, Fire, Not Today. thank u! :)

Fun fact: V loves fireworks and never leaves a chance to buy them even they buy and do fireworks in in the soop

random fun fact, Jin actually studied in Australia (i think as part of some exchange program), and was classmates with Mitchell Hope from the Descendants

Everyone should make the choice for themselves, but personally I've only seen some parts of American hustle life. I feel very uncomfortable watching anyone being bullied, especially teenagers who don't even speak the same language, no matter the intention. There is a lot of ways to educate someone, bullying is never the right choice for me. Iris is the sweetest, though. I really appreciate her support :)

Thank you for the reaction. I always love watching your videos. I especially love the little discussion you have in the beginning of your videos rehashing previous reactions. It’s beautiful to see that you guys take in content seriously and that you remember them. I wish all reactors are like that especially when they are watching a series so from the bottom of my purple heart GAMSAHAMNIDA 🙏🏻💜

Thank you for this video guys it's great to relive these chapters with you guys. These guys really came from the bottom. 😢😭 i'm so proud

To answer your question: Did idol groups that saw them early on recognize their talent? The answer is no. In fact they were ridiculed for being from such a small company and for "daring" to try something new. They were ignored by many of the artists they looked up to which is very sad.

let me explain a bit. age order is : - jin - suga - jhope - RM - jimin - v - jungkook that being said. the fanchant goes by their BIRTH names. the names i just said in age order are their STAGE names. so the chant goes from the leader (RM) and then continues in age order after him. so the fanchant is : - kim namjoon (RM/leader) - kim seokjin (oldest) - min yoongi (suga/second oldest) - jung hoseok (jhope/third oldest) - park jimin (oldest of the youngest 3) - kim taehyung (V/2nd oldest of the youngest 3) - jeon jungkook (youngest member) BTS hopefully that breaks it down for you guys

yall def heard the song of coolio broooo,,,..check the gangsta oaradise song... when u hear it yall be likeee.... oooo this man... this sing!!!!!.. its wa billboard num.1 for many weeeks,,a and grammy nom... The tutors of bts are legends

Thanks for the reaction guys, it was great as always. Do react to the kidnapping prank in America, that was honestly insane. Also the Boracity video about Korean hierarchy as well.

Please react to DANGER music video of bTS before watching Chapter 6

I know some ppl are recommending American hustle life in the comments but I think I would rather watch other shows like in the soop, bon voyage, are you sure, and run bts

Them: Regulate, what's that? Me: I'm so old! 🤷🏽‍♀️

This is why a lot fans tend to be protective over BTS. For one, they've gone through quite a few struggles and unnecessary hate or conflict but also they've made so many shows and videos that they feel so close and real. Like, of course you never actually really 'know' a celebrity, you barely even know the neighbour you greet every day, but it feels like you know enough. And they're a found family you want to defend and protect, at the very least they deserve that.

Loved your reaction 💜💜 If I leave the Coolio parts, I really like the rest of the American hustle life series. You guys could give it a watch. I am thoroughly enjoying watching you guys reacting to BTS

Honestly I would recommend you watch the American Hustle Life show. Because of how Coolio treated V i dislike him yo this day. I know V laughed it off but he really was hurt because he was trying his best. Otherwise it was a pretty good experienced

Guess who don’t read group chat in RALAZ REACTS ………….. Army’s knows what em talking aboutt😭

Guys do watch the bonus scenes too!!

I really wish y'all react on the kidnapping prank in America!! It's insane.

For how they were treated by others in the industry, I would suggest you watch this video by Boracity that explains how the hierarchy works in the K-Pop industry (at least at that time). It's called "Respect your elders, mock your juniors" by Boracity magazine.

It's a pretty split topic among ARMY, but I really recommend watching American Hustle Life. The Coolio parts are a bit hard to watch, and the way Taehyung was treated was not okay. The fake kidnapping was too much as well. But I believe that the good parts outweigh the bad, and even BTS has said they really treasure the experience and think back on it fondly. It taught them a lot and it's an important step in their journey. There are so many touching moments too, which makes it special to me 🫶

15:37 Soulful 💜✨

14:49 IT IS THE WOMAN Y’ALL NEVER GONNA FORGET HER FOR TELLING OUR PRECIOUS V HE HAS A SOULFUL VOICE THANK YOU IRIS STEVENSON 💜😭

Fun fact the crew decided to play a sick prank on BTS by having some actors kidnap them in a foreign country o really recommend you guys to watch American hustle life

3:33 for male group it would have been EXO, SHINee and BigBang, and female 2NE1 (pronounced 21), Girls Generation I think

2:46 the chant is: Kim Namjoon (RM), Kim Seokjin (Jin), Min Yoongi Suga), Jung Hoseok (J-Hope), Park Jimin (Jimin), Kim Taehyung (V), Jeon Jungkook (Jungkook), BTS

Thank you for the great reaction as always 💜 glad you caught so many details 💟

You asked if anyone was on the BTS train from the early days. Beyond fans that they had made early and their agency, everyone was against them. They were snubbed and disregarded by other idols because they were from a small agency. They really only had each other as their support system. I would suggest you watch this video by Boracity that explains how the hierarchy works in the K-Pop industry (at least at that time). It's called "Respect your elders, mock your juniors" https://youtu.be/aOVyPLUd6YU?si=jUqcPUYjGa3Q6PMr . The series they did in America was called "American Hustle Life" and the first couple of episodes felt really cringey and disrespectful to BTS, but they had some great tutors, did challenges (not to mention recorded a whole album in a garage at night) and I think it was a huge part of their early development as artists. They did a concert for 200 people at the end showcasing everything they had learned there which was amazing. Trust me...every episode of the rise of Bangtan gets better and better in my opinion. Thanks for reacting

Kim seokJIN is Jin 😂 and Suga name is Min Yoongi. The fanchant goes from oldest to youngest with the leader first. Kim Namjoon (RM), Kim Seokjin (Jin), Min Yoongi (Suga/ Agust D), Jung Hoseok (Jhope), Park Jimin (Jimin), Kim Taehyung (V), Jeon Jungkook (Jungkook), BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan)

I hope yall keep releasing one free content every friday once rise of bangtan episodes ends

The woman name Iris was actually the inspiration behind the movie Sister Act. She saw something in V from the beginning. But I just wished she could have met Jin. She passed away last May, I think. American Hustle Life is one of my favourite reality shows of BTS because it really taught them a lot and nobody have the same experience as them. BTS was an underdog. There were many groups rising when they were debuting, but BTS rise to fame was unexpected to the local. BTS was able to get more fans internationally than in their own country. Till this day, not many local supporting them, instead they are more loved by international fans. I thought you're including the deleted and bonus clips. They should be watched together with the episode since they are in the right time line. Great reaction, as always.

You guys should watch American hustle life it’s the first clips with Julio

What RM said on his live today just makes you respect and love them more And if someone hasn't seen the live please do he talked about things that were needed to be said

the age order is jin, suga, jhope, rm, jimin, v, jungkook

HIP HOP PHILE. That’s it. That’s my comment. I will now repeat it. HIP HOP PHILE. Ty for coming to my Ted Talk🫰🏻💜

You should definitely watch that reality show - American hustle life though 🙏🙏 Even if first episode is pretty cringe at times, but every one of the next episodes is truly amazing 😀 I love rewatching it. You definitely see them kids and have to see them grow from it. I think this show really was stapping stone for them to future💕

There’s this video from I think 2019 of jimin and rm from after a concert they did and they were looking at fireworks from their show. It didn’t show in this episode but when Jimin and RM were looking at the fireworks in LA they said something like they hope one day they could be the ones who the fireworks are for and at that concert RM and jimin remembered that moment It was such a cool and sweet moment

💜💜💜💜

Guys please watch the bonus and deleted scenes together with each episodes. Only that way you can appreciate it better as you can see the context

This episode makes me emotional because we know how hard it was for them during the show. The show was organized by MNet, a korean kpop platform and the bugdet given to the guys was very low. They were also producing an album and they were overworked. it was awful. the show did teach them things and even though it was cringe at times i feel like it shaped them in many ways as well. going from baby bts in 2014, surviving on burritos from a street truck in LA to 2025 BTS living in an LA mansion for weeks and working with some of the top producers in the game rn, they worked so hard to reach this position and i will never shut up about it cuz im so proud of our boys!

thank youu! what really surprises me sometimes that these guys have such perfectionist attitude to even till this date. there's a 40 sec dance vid of Jungkook,JK, Jimin dancing to Butter remix(ft. Megan thee stallion), and the no. of takes they did for that 40 sec choreo was insane(both the main vid and behind the scenes are there on youtube)... i was shocked how dedicated and passionate these guys are towards their performances. also hope y'all check out- DOPE, Killin' it girl by J-hope( MV+ choreo ver.), "So what+ Anpanman+ Make it right" LIVE.

Omg this whole American hustle life is so cringe to me I can't rewatch it 😭😭😭💔..I watched it once when I was a new army, all I can say that I survived because of tony😂❤️

Please guys watch 'I need U' music video before watching Ep :- 8 of Rise of bangtan. That episode contain lots of spoiler but we want to see your first reaction to the whole MV.

Guys, hope you'll go back & explore their old music, since the journey will start changing & growing & you'll appreciate it better with the upcoming episodes, also you can watch bonus & deleted scenes together with the episode to get the context better. Thanks!

Guys, thank you for continui this segment. And I will never get tired of saying that your reactions to BTS are the best. You guys are really smart and have the right judgment on BTS. I hope you guys continue to enjoy our BTS. Can't wait to see your reactions next, you guys have worked hard, thank you 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Hearing your comments in every end of the content is great. You've put a genuine input in every content.

Thnk u , for giving this free 💗

The fan chant is the leader first, then oldest to youngest. Kim Namjoon-leader Kim Seokjin-oldest Min Yoongi Jung Hoseok Park Jimin Kim Taehyung Jeon Jungkook-youngest BTS-ending My fave part of this chapter is the "giving back" part. That lesson really stuck with them, to this day they all donate, quietly and generously. Suga just built an entire program and wing at one of the hospitals in Seoul to work with autistic kids with music. Its called the Min Yoongi M.I.N.D. program. And he didnt just hand over money, he went on weekends while he was in the military and worked with the kids personally. Jin goes and works on the food lines at natural disasters. They do these things as themselves, not as BTS.

As Tess and other ARMYs have suggested, please, please, please watch the adult version of I Need U BEFORE you watch Episode 8 of the Rise of Bangtan. There’s major spoilers to the I Need U music video in that episode. I Need U is a MV with a storyline. BTS as actors and no choreography.

It’s only getting better and better. Can’t wait

I would really like to see your reaction to their songs like: Dis-ease, so what, dope, best of me and tomorrow. They are such a banger I'm sure you will love it

where is the behind the scenes and deleted scenes??

Thanks so much Guys! Really appreciate you watching this series. Right now they are literally making their 2026 album for us!!! (already mixing, learning choreo, filming content!!🎉)

Loved your reaction! Just wanted to add a bit of context: those clips might look fun, but AHL was tough on BTS. Yes, they learned hip-hop, but it wasn’t free — they were running on almost no sleep and dealing with some really unfair situations in a country they barely knew. They made it look light because that’s who they are. Turning harsh situations into growth💜

Victoria still follows up on them it's really cool

The show is called American Hustle Life, first 2 episodes might be cringy but remaining episodes are fun and the boys learned a lot

When you get to the official content like documentaries (starting with Burn the Stage) you’ll see more of their process and how truly passionate they are to their music and performance. When you get into full albums, suggest you to get into the official content. The RoB vids are great but it’s important to also hear the story from BTS themselves. As always love the reaction guys! 💜

I genuinely looove all the comments you guys put out after watching each episode, very reflective and honest, this is why you guys are one of the best groups to react to BTS, your reactions are reflecting their vulnerable content ✨

Thanks for this reaction guys. It was great as always. The work and hardships BTS have been through, they truly deserve to have the success they’ve had. Again I’d like to request that some of their older music would be so great to watch alongside these RoB episodes 💜

Always excited when y’all post! Just a suggestion. Please consider watching the deleted scenes and bonus content after each chapter rather than watching them later. I think it makes more sense because the deleted scenes and bonus content go with that specific chapter. Watching them later can feel more out of context. Just something to think about going forward.

excited for the cypher series! 🔥

Will you guys react to bts American hustle life? If you guys liked this trip, this is only like snippets from that reality show

There are soooo many bts content that show this side of them they literally have so many documentaries made by themselves ,you just haven’t seen them yet but u hope you get to those soon

Guys, just wanted to let you know that all the titles in each episode are their song titles. You can react to the songs, it will be interesting.

Guys during that time in America, they were going on 2hrs of sleep… Suga said he was so close to just running away (literally)… they would get back at 4am in the morning after working on their album and practicing, and then head back to wash up, but then were woken at 6am again for the reality program they were on.., it was so tough 😭

They had beautiful memories in La

They look like they are having fun but they were shooting for American hustle life thru the whole day at then at night they were recording for their next album and they were not making any profits during this period so this was a very difficult period during that time

Tyyy guys ! I recommend : - Dear Class 2020 (speech + 3 lives performances)

You guys should watch Burn the Stage it’s a documentary

Facts guys! and until now the members work hard the same, they always make sure their performance is 101% regardless if they are successful now and had nothing to prove anymore. and with that I believe this is one of the best proof of that This is the 3j (jimin, jungkook, jhope) special performance video of butter. This is a 1 MINUTE PERFORMANCE VIDEO BUT WATCH THE BEHIND THE SCENES ON HOW LONG THEY PRACTICED AND RE-DO IT PERFORMANCE VIDEO - https://youtu.be/IkeZX2hnoOk?si=hEoRrlE9jQcayDU- BEHIND THE SCENES - https://youtu.be/O84fLDIU-T0?si=DpAYLvD9QuP05J8k I recommend watch the performance video and then the behind the scenes

Watchhh Burn the stage. Burn the stage will give you also a better view of their dynamics. Trust me, plus its an official documentary from BTS.

This is a series they did....American Hustle Life. It is worth a watch. There are definitley some moments that were out of order towards the boys and were really upsetting to watch. Not all bad though and it ended well. 🥰

If u have tym please watch run seokjin encore tour clips

Actually guys, although they appeared to only be having fun, being in the HipHop program were some of the toughest times in their journey, but they really learnt a lot.

BTS is an inspiration to all

3:47 well, no. most mocked them because they were from a broke company. they thouch a bit on this in their book.

Thank you for giving this free💓

Pls watch Ineed you, before it gets spoiled in the rise of bangtan!!! It's the start of the bangtan universe, it has a whole lore, but for now, just watch the mv of I need you pls. For any paid patreon in the comments pls make sure to recommend this as much as possible

No early on, everyone was pretty much snobs to BTS... similar to a rich kid looking down on poor kids for not being dressed in high end get up (not quite an example, just an analogy)
