BTS Dope MV + Dance + Live

I need this video for their song let go so bad. Please please please

there's one rule I follow when watching BTS' dance practice videos - you have to watch it atleast 9 times. Watch it for the first time, then focus on each member (7), then watch it again just like the first time (but now noticing each member’s nuances) to conclude the whole experience 🙂‍↕️

Help it’s not Covid 😭😭

I know I am late to this reaction, but it is frustrating to watch people only listen to the title singles and not the albums and think that BTS had just one sound when they started. They had R&B slower songs from their very first album. They were never just one thing. Songs chosen to be title singes are often explosive and flashy. But that was never all they did.

In 2015 Korea was suffering from MERS, and it’s normal for East Asian people wearing masks to prevent being infected.

Jimin Legendary FANCAMS 💅🏻😎

AFTER COVID...😭 NO GUYS THIS IS 2015 😭😭In korea people used to wear masks even before covid

Please react to Perfect Man song cover by BTS

Please react to jimin dance techniques and jimin high notes raspy notes and backgrounds vocals!!!

Gyzz plz react to jimin's highnotes compilation plzz

Please react to JIMIN HIGH NOTES AND RASPY VOCALS

In the original lyrics 3 포 세대, 5 포 세대 are pronounced sampo sedae and opo sedae. They are used to describe the generation that has given up. 3 po sedae, describes millennials who have given up dating, marriage, and having children due to economic instability. Later on it evolved into 5 po sedae which added employment and housing due to unaffordable housing costs and high youth unemployment. In Korean, 6 is pronounced yook. Yookpo is also a homonym for beef jerky. Here, RM jokingly declares that “I like beef jerky so it’s yookpo sedae

Please consider reacting to "Jimin Dance Techniques" to understand the way he danced more. Here's the link: https://youtu.be/CYnbKeE6pH8?si=8-IXjIDsSHKc97rj

You should also watch ‘Dope’ from the PTD concert and their ‘Dope’ performance in the Love Yourself Nagoya concert. It's different, it's a life changing experience.

Fun fact: In the music video, during the bridge part, Jimin and Jungkook keep switching and lip-syncing each other’s voices. The high note part (I gotta make it fire, baby) is sung by Jimin in the music video, but in live performances, it’s Jungkook.

This is the song that got me on BTS/ARMY journey

You should react to bts festas, you can start with 2018

JK MY TIME AND LIVE AT TIME SQUARE PLSS

🎉

"I reject rejection" dope lyrics🔥🛐

Him saying "arrest me" to JK reminds me of when BTS were doing an interview and Jimin said he'd probably be a cop if he wasn't an idol and JK turned to him and said "arrest me!".. everyone just looked at him like, "are you serious?"

My first bts song

For the live version, the Koreans have strict rules when it comes to watching these comeback lives. Also you should check a more recent lives for Dope, because they only get better and better

That's just how Korean crowds are.

Yes, it’s Dope - so dope that it’s addicting. 😄 Thank you for your reactions. I haven’t seen this live version before. It’s interesting how the audience surrounded them. Of course, the excellent MV, dance practice, and live are another level. BTS is peerless!

I know I'm late commenting on this, but I just joined your Patreon. I was just gonna say that you remarking how "in sync" they are reminded me --- and I can't remember where this is from, but I remember hearing that Bang PD used to review their practices, and he would even look to see if their eyes were all looking the same way!! So, yeah. They learned to be "in Sync", lol.

You guys have no idea how hard they train their lungs they literally wear masks and go on threadmill cause it increases their capacity to sing in concerts while dancing

So this live is a tv broadcast live , having live performances and cameras if the audience move too much then the camera may not capture the guys well the army here are actually instructed to not move too much during the broadcast by the tv stations but during rehearsals and all they enjoy just like everyone else

Bro covid was in 2020. Also, cultural differences are seen through the audience, Korea they don't jump around wildly they cheer and chant. I think there's even a video on the differences of how fans react at bts' concerts. South America being the loudest while Japan is the quietest (due to respecting each other and the artist)

In Asia it’s so normal to wear masks even if you’re not sick so no the live was even before covid lol

Few explanations about the lyrics and the "given up on 3, 5 or 6"line. In many ways, the lyrics are typical of the hip-hop genre, spitting on the competition and endlessly praising yourself (“I’m kinda dope!”). But if they are hungry for success, they have made sacrifices to get to where they are (“I worked all night, everyday, while you were out clubbing.” “Even if our youths rot away in the studio, thanks to that we’re closer to success.” But the song also talk about social issue, BTS said since day one they want to talk and fight for their generation. A few years back, the Korean media started labelling the younger generation as a generation who abandoned essential parts of life. The "give up generation" : Because of the tough economic state of the country and a lack of opportunity, the young generation has to work so much harder to get a job and survive. Sampo (3-po) generation, Ohpo (5-po) generation... The "given up on 3" are gave up on Dating, Marriage, Childbirth; The 5 give up generation abandonned also Human relationships, and Housing/work. They also talk about this issue in Bepsae (Silver Spoon) The last grade is 7 : gave up on dream and hope. BTS point the fact that “The media and grown-ups say we have no will, denouncing us, why are they killing us before we even try?” This makes the great point that the very people who urge teenagers to achieve things in life are the same people holding them back. Then RM said he will give up six things, but he won't give up the seventh : Hope. So BTS tells people to stop giving up on things and never give up on hope. Hope and hardwork, :"keep your head up, take my energy, energy, energy. Don’t give up, you know you’re not lonely. Our dawn is better than our days. So can I get a little bit of hope? Wake your sleeping youth and go!"

you should watch the dkdktv explained video for this song too!

when you guys do eventually get to watching the Save Me music video, do please include reacting to the making of the Save Me music video! It is a must watch together with the actual MV.

Please react to Fire so you can watch MMA 2016 🙏🙏🙏

please react to RUN JIN EPISODES

DKDKTV did the explanation video as well. You can check it out - https://youtu.be/KbC-KJg89A8?si=lFP35GBBsfuDVbHp

there is a cultural thing and is why the korean armys don't have the tendency to jump or going wild....if that performance of Dope were overseas ofc the history will be different lol, If you notice all the 7 members were dressed with one profession or job...Jin doctor, Jimin working in office, Jk police officer and so on, I also believe they were paying and homage to the hard working people from different backgrounds and jobs...at least that's my pov guys, thanks for the reaction and I knew you'll love Dope!

I remember the first time I saw this video and thought to myself about the archetypes at play here with each member: RM as the pilot with the direction for the group, Jungkook as the shield and protector of the hyungs, J-Hope as the racer setting the speed, Jimin as the strategist who makes connections, Suga as the general calling the troops, V as the one who thinks outside the box, and Jin as the healer of hearts. They worked so hard… this could be the beginning of their journey to find themselves.

Every performance is a banger, this is fun going through with you guys

DOPE IS MY FAVOURITE

wait, youre missing some MVs - N.O - boy in love - just one day - war of hormones I understand skipping the BU mvs for now but why skip these other ones? just a bit confused as I though you were trying to watch all mvs chronologically

i hope you guys react, N.O , Just One Day, I Need You and Run too because i reaally reaally don't want you guys to miss out on these, they are epic too 🙏🏻

i'd 100% recommend doolset to help with understanding lyrics! sometimes the korean lyrics don't translate, and she adds notes to give more context. even in this song, https://doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/, she mentions that dope can also be be used to describe 'someone being completely drenched in sweat or being totally exhausted due to prolonged work'. (in bts' book beyond the scene they mention that they meant both) she also explains the 'giving up on 3' etc part!

Dope is and will always be one of the classiest and most insane bts song with choreo!! Until there last concert back in 2022 before they start their enlistment they still perform this as this is one of their most classic and most loved by armys!

Please watch BTS Yet to come concert 2022. Its on Amazon prime. You will definitely have a blast seeing how BTS performs live. Its mind-blowing.

Ahh RM’s iconic line in the beginning of the music video…this song and video was actually a lot of people’s first time with bts so it’s fitting. And the reason why is because this is one of the songs that really made bts go viral especially on YouTube. I saw it happening in real time. This song actually contributed a lot to my own journey of becoming an army and it’s because I saw it in a K-pop reaction video back in 2015. The album that this song is on changed the game for bts drastically. There’s another song on this album that changed their lives forever, and you will understand when you get to it next week…

If anyone asks me were my trust issues started I show them JK‘s and Jimins Part in Dope (Ifykyk)

It's funny you mention how hard Yoongi (Suga) is going dancing wise, because in their reaction video to the MV, Jimin mentions about how hard Yoongi is working haha For contaxt, they actually have their own reaction videos to most of their MVs since they don't see the final product until it's done, and they're fun to watch so you guys should definitely check out those when you get a chance

This is like 2015 , so it’s not after Covid. Also, the crowd not doing much is because it’s Korean crowd. The mask is to hide their face because most of them don’t want to be filmed and shown on tv (since this is comeback stage). This is really common in Korea. Love ur reactions and reflections 🔥🔥

If you guys are trying to experience the whole bts evolution, from beginning to end you need to watch it in a chronological order (mv releases) You kinda missed a lot and jumped to dope. Chronologically: Era 1: No more dream We are bulletproof p.2 - N.O Era 2: - boy in love - just one day - danger - war of hormones Era 3: - I need you - dope - run - young for ever - fire - save me Era 4: Begin Lie Stigma First Love Reflection MAMA Awake Boy meets evil - blood , sweat and tears - spring day - not today Era 5: - DNA - mic drop - fake live - idol Era 6: - boy with love - on Era 7: - dynamite - life goes on - blue and gray - butter - permission to dance

These lives are at music shows, ARMY is there to chant and cheer, it's not like a concert live. You enter a raffle to get seats for these music shows as fans of the people performing so you have to be on your best behaviour, fans of performers can be banned if they're too unruly. It was 2015 so not Covid time, most people wear masks in crowded public spaces in Korea to cut down on catching or spreading illness. I love Dark and Wild album and hope you do some more songs from it, it's honestly a no skip album. Thanks for your reaction and Happy Holidays

Dope live from 'love yourself : speak yourself live is a bit better in my opinion 😀

Not today song is another major song you don't want to miss

Thanks for these reactions guys! I can’t wait to see what you drop next!💜 I hope you guys can react to a full album soon, preferably their first one, 2 Cool 4 Skool, then continue in order from release because you'll get the best view of their growth that way.

I really hope you guys react to their Boyz With Fun dance practice. It actually is SO much fun!! Tae is so growly lol

Sampo Generation (Hangul: 삼포세대; RR: samposedae, “Three giving-up generation”) is a neologism in South Korea referring to a generation that gives up courtship, marriage, and having kids. Many of the young generation in South Korea have given up those three things because of social pressures and economical problems such as increasing cost-of-living, tuition payments, and affordable housing scarcity. There is also the opo sedae, or “five giving-up generation”, which takes the same three and adds employment and home ownership. wikipedia/ doolset

Thank you so much Guys!! The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Albums= every song PURE GOLD!🌟

There is a video explanation BTS “Dope” Explained by a Korean Fan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhWUagYBbtI

Guys, you are missing some previous songs that came before dope. It would be nice to watch in chronological order

Guys, please don't move on from this era just yet, before listening to N.O, Boy in luv, Just one day, War of hormone. These are still songs from their early days. Their next era with "I need you" and "Run" is when they've started to gain more popularity and get their first wins on music shows.

about the "given up on 3, given up on 5" line, i'm pretty sure another comment mentioned this already, but the original lyrics are "samposedae" and "opo sedae". these are both in reference to the generation in korea that has supposedly "given up". "sampo sedae" refers to the generation that has supposedly given up on 3 important aspects of life - courtship, marriage, and having kids. "opo sedae" is the evolved saying which adds employment and housing as 2 additional things that the generation has given up on. rm is basically jokingly declaring that they might as well add a 6th thing. he's essentially pointing out the inaccuracy of the saying, and it how it brushes over a lot of the difficulties that the generation faces (like economic instability) that causes them to apparently "give up" on these things. and merry christmas you guys!

yeah filling the timeline is hyyh for ya

"arrest me " im on the floor....... does biraj know jungkook has world famous meme with that word for years....via jimin...

This wasn't during or after covid guys. That live performance was in 2015, when they released the song and were doing promotions for it. (in kpop any new album release is called a comeback, irregardless of the time that has passed). In Asia, air pollution is a legitimate concern, and the air is absolute crap on certain days, so it's really common to wear masks (even before Covid)

Come back is just the name of a new release or mini album after ending promotion for a previous album or mini album.

My favority

4:41 not the arrest me joke I'm crying sksksk (iykyk)

This is my ultimate favourite song/dance of that era plus Save me...but this is when they were adopting the true Bangtan style 💜

Merry Christmas Army 🎄🎅

If you want a video going through all of BTS's discography and music progression Boracity has a video literally going debut until the release of Proof (aka the end of "Chapter 1") It'll also help you know the order things were released and some of the concepts/eras. BTS has like 500 songs in Chapter 1 alone, so it can feel really overwhelming once you start really diving into it, but remember, the whole idea is to have fun! Just enjoy the music, enjoy the ride and know there's really no wrong way to discover BTS. And there's no bad music either. But anytime you have questions, there's no shortage of answers from ARMYs here in the comments, or videos on youtube and such, which is one of the reasons I always appreciate ARMYs who work so hard translating and creating videos all for free. Here's the Boracity video if interested: https://youtu.be/JEM5rRjq7kc?si=VpdXZEm-qFdGwGWm

Guys, don't forget to check out N.O and Just one Day! 💜

Dance practice videos are just a regular part of Kpop contents. It basically started with 2nd gen groups like SHINee and SISTAR19 as a way of showcasing the choreo and the members of the group in more casual dress, typically without makeup and stuff. It eventually grew to what it is today, still showcasing the choreo, but now sometimes there's some camera work and overall better lighting. Also, ARMYs always joke about how you have to watch dance practice vids 8 times to see everything, once to focus on each member individually, then an 8th time to again focus on the group as a whole. I love the videos where it's like "things you missed in ___ dance practice" and it'll zoom in on the cute little things the members are doing during practice, typically the members who aren't center focus in that moment

Doolset linked a wikipedia explanation for RM's line about the 3 giving up and 5 giving up generation saying "Sampo Generation (Hangul: 삼포세대; Hanja: 三抛世代; RR: samposedae, “Three giving-up generation”) is a neologism in South Korea referring to a generation that gives up courtship, marriage, and having kids. Many of the young generation in South Korea have given up those three things because of social pressures and economical problems such as increasing cost-of-living, tuition payments, and affordable housing scarcity. There is also the opo sedae, or “five giving-up generation”, which takes the same three and adds employment and home ownership." Which is a similar topic to the lyrics of Baepsae (Silver Spoon). Baepsae is definitely one you want to watch/react too. It's including in I think pretty much all of their setlists from previous concerts and DKDKTV has an explanation vid on it. Or obviously Doolset has a tl with cultural notes/explanations/etc. It's one you HAVE to have extra cultural context for or it's not really gonna make much sense.

U guys have to watch this if u wanna know the real mastermind behind bts if you’re really curious xD https://youtu.be/1eMk_Twwy3c?si=tE86HnOSwcF6bvTn

Guys, suggestion! Don’t use M-Countdown videos for Lives. Concert ones are better..

Hope yall will check out full album reviews! Keep in mind, all of these songs you’ve been reacting to are all title tracks on the albums. There are sooo many amazing b sides as well, and there are more mellow songs on all the albums, debut albums too!

This was the first Kpop dance I learned and it will always hold a special place in my heart

Ahhh yes. The white t-shirt, skinny jeans and timbs JK era. It's literally all he wore for a while. Even the members dogged him about it 🤣🤣🤣

This was in 2015. If you look, you can see that Jimin looks the same as he did from the music video, hair & all. Whenever they do a performance right after releasing a single/album, it's called a comeback. Doesn't mean they left for a long time, they're just back with new music to perform. Also, It's common for people to wear masks in South Korea for various reasons. Idols will wear them when going out sometimes as well.

Look at how many ARMY are excited to see you explore and hope you will seek out "BAEPSAE"! It's actual name is "Silver Spoon" but ARMY knows it as Baepsae. At some point, it is certainly a MUST VIEW song for a reaction to also include the explanation video with it, if possible. (Here's the DKDKTV link - https://youtu.be/RP4Qbh2rXFU?si=-1qsxp_k_fvPSkjM ) Of course, all of you should do what you really want to do as we love your sincerity in reacting.

💜🎄💜🎄 Merry Christmas, guys! 🥳🎄🎁💜

The live video was from 2015: it was their comeback stage for their new song and album. This song, unironically, is DOPE. It is soooo good. I love the dance, the vocals, and the energy they bring to this song! It is so much fun and such a hype song. I love listening to it. Thank you for reacting to this song! It definitely shows their growth as artists, and it is a fun bop to listen to no matter where you're at!

I loved the reaction! By the way, in the part where it switches from Jimin to Jungkook, the person lip-syncing in the MV isn’t always the one actually singing. If you listen closely, you can tell who’s singing which part. Jungkook sings that note live now, but in the studio version it’s Jimin. Also, about the crowd, I don’t think they weren’t hyped. Every country is different, and Korea is generally known for having dead crowds.

Please in the future for the songs you watch, choose live from their concerts rather than comeback stages. Comeback stages are usually not the best camera work and their mics are either way too low or way too high or some other issues. Because they/their company is not the ones doing any of that but the ppl who does these comeback stages are. And it really doesn’t show their best live abilities.

This performance was from their comeback stage - a comeback is what its called every time a new album/single is released after the first one. So this comeback stage was performed during the release promotion period of the album, to promote Dope - so back in 2015. Masks are used for many reasons, they were normal to wear before covid in many parts of Asia - some use them so they're not identifiable when they're being filmed at these kinds of performances, because of the high levels of fine dust in Korea, or when sick etc etc.

The live video is from 2015; the face masks are popular there because of the dust. So pre covid BTS wore them often, so dont base your timeline off that, focus on their hair colors hahaha

In the beginning they did have a choreographer and some really great direction, as well as camera work. But for choreography, J-Hope, the dance leader, was able to learn it really fast, and then he'd teach, coach, and maybe add some details. Am I the only one who noticed that once or twice their arms were in different rhythm than their legs? The book "K-Pop Dance" gives them credit for this new technique. I'll get mean for a minute. Nearly every male reactor I see says this or that is Michael Jackson influenced. It isn't. Several videos are for sure, but not all. There are thousands of dance moves out there and many are similar. MJ didn't invent them all. You can go back to the early 1900s for those on film, such as the Charleston, and tap. MJ was influenced as well. That's like saying all music since 1960 was influenced by the Beatles. BTS is BTS, and the stars of the 21st century, and yoongi is correct. Sorry for the rant, I guess.. The set for the video was a warehouse. Somehow magically V came down in a freight elevator while the camera stayed steady outside, you can tell because the back wall of bricks moves. No More Dream was also a warehouse. That part in RM's lyrics "3,5,6" has to do with how many things a young person has to give up to maintain schoolwork or job. Social life & hobbies, dating, marriage, kids, and young people were trapped in a horrible loan system and blamed for crashing the economy. It's a dual message, society is doing this to do, get your energy and follow your dream. You all do a great job, and I look forward every day to your comments and new ideas!

Guys, if you can, please react to this live version of Dope: https://youtu.be/XjUvfQqarlU?si=mSRcc_5shiPbk8nF Jungkook's vocals are UNREAL!!!!! It's one of my favorite live version of it.

guys hopefully in the future you can choose a live from their concert for each song because these comeback stages aren't great to showcase their live abilities. These shows turn their mic way lower and they have to shout to even be heard over the track.

Pls do just one dayy and baepsae, the dance practices are the funniest. Theres also a dkdktv explanation vid for baepsae!

WAR OF HORMONE and FIRE next pleaseeeee😭😭

Dope from other live performances were more powerful than the one they reacted. But anyway still very good.

i'd loove to see a reaction to the dope x baepsae x fire x run performance once you've reacted to the other songs there!

DOPE is when JK slowly started to become my bias🙂‍↕️

Biraj saying arrest me 😭😭😭 reminded me of jk arrest me joke lmaooo

"WAR OF HORMONE" , "BOY IN LOVE" and "N.O" PLEASEEEEEE🙏🙏🙏🙏 VOCALS👌👌👌

This is a comeback stage which is basically after they’ve finished an album or have a new song out, so this performance would’ve been after this song came out or the album came out. This performance was well before the pandemic, I believe masks are just a part of their culture in Korea. People wear them even if they aren’t sick, like idols will wear because they don’t have makeup on that day or people will wear after skin treatments, it’s quite common 💜

PLEASE ALSO DO TO A 4-in-1 FOR ‘FIRE’! It also came out at around the same time as this 💜

Ahh I remember the my baby army days when my friends were like ‘guys this is the way we introduce people to BTS’ because it literally says ‘this your first time here?’ I don’t know I always found it funny 😂 thanks for reaction guys, this song is iconic 🤌💜

BTS as a group didn't really perform on music shows after 2020 (with a few exceptions), so if you see them performing on a small stage like this with an audience doing fanchants, it's prior to 2020. Music show performances are televised and usually have the show's logo somewhere in the corner. That's another reason why the audience is just standing there - it was being recorded for TV, and there were probably rules about how the fans should behave. Also I think in general it's just fan etiquette in South Korea; they are very enthusiastic waving their ARMY bombs and doing the fanchants, but they stay pretty much sitting or standing in place and don't get too wild. Thanks for your reaction!!! Dope was one of my absolute faves as a baby ARMY, I must have watched the MV once a day for a month. lol

Please please do BAEPSAE !!! Next week thats one for the books .

Ronnie’s take is always interesting and mostly spot-on! But I love how the other guys all come up with different theories too. I could sit in a room w all of them for hours on end geeking out to BTS content! And yes Rivas, you said it all- the glow-up here is so obvious!! The guys look and sound amazing for only 2 yrs in! BTS is ASMR FOR MY WHOLE SOUL!

Would love if you guys did reaction to Baepsae and Spine Breaker Lyrics + Dance Practice + Live And spine breaker does have a funny mv like video as well!

Ronnie is so smart for figuring out that Namjoon was rapping about milestones (gave up at 3 sam-po-saedae, gave up at 5 o-po-saedae, rather give up at 6!) without even knowing any Korean!!

I know you’ve already reacted to DOPE live but I’m just here linking you to my fave DOPE performance by our OT7. You’ve gotta check it out 😍💜 https://youtu.be/XjUvfQqarlU?si=e0-3QUBiDGI7jwzu

Here is explanation for the 3, 5 (from wiki) Sampo Generation (Hangul: 삼포세대; Hanja: 三抛世代; RR: samposedae, “Three giving-up generation”) is a neologism in South Korea referring to a generation that gives up courtship, marriage, and having kids. Many of the young generation in South Korea have given up those three things because of social pressures and economical problems such as increasing cost-of-living, tuition payments, and affordable housing scarcity.

Recommend to react concert compilation of dope!

Am I the only one who bobbleheads along with them? 😉 💜x7 in 2025! #LoveAllSeven

masks are part of everyday life, even considered as fashion accessory in South Korea way before covid. This is mainly because of air pollution there due to fine dust. Fans on live music show broadcasts like this one dont go wildin around like what normally happen in actual concerts due to cultural difference in concert etiquette. Also, there are structured fan chants which the artists appreciate more during this broadcasts, and going crazy and shouting will ruin the fan chants.

Mask use, as other comments mention, is very commonplace in Asian countries - well before Covid times. In 2015 there was a MERS outbreak in South Korea which explains the higher percentage of mask wearing at this live performance. As for the crowd, it’s a cultural thing. Koreans participate more with fan chants. As a newer ARMY I’m grateful Asian crowds are so respectful. For example the vocal line does this intense, moody jazz club song called House of Cards in front of a Japanese audience. We hear applause at the start, then the crowd is completely silent throughout the song itself. It really allows you to be immersed in the vibes and emotions of the song. I contrast this to a live version of Wings taken from BTS’s 2017 Sydney Wings Tour. The video was released on BangtanTV for Festa 2017 and it’s basically a BTS selfie cam. Which makes it heaps of fun and glorious to feel like you’re on stage with BTS. The only downside is the crowd screaming throughout - at some points making it hard to hear BTS - not that I really blame Aussie ARMY as they don’t get the same number of chances to see BTS in person. Fun Fact - according to set list .com Dope is the song BTS has performed most in concert, including all their most recent 2021-22 concerts.

this live wasn't after covid, it was i 2015

The masks on the audience were probably a venue requirement.

Thank you Ralaz once again for such a wonderful reaction 🥰 I hppe each one of you Ronnie, Rivas, Rowan and Biraj, will have a Merry Christmas 🎄 and enjoy your holiday season with friends and family. Take care guys 💜

There are better live performances of Dope out there, but not complaining because your reactions are always good 💜 Can't wait for you to get to more of the early stuff

Hello guys thank you for reaction, Merry Christmas to all of you. Hope you finally react on a BTS concert on January before their actual comeback. So pls react on songs from Yet to come in Busan concert playlist: Fire, Yet to come, For youth, Butterfly, My city... Hope Army support me in it.

If anyone watches Dope and they don't notice Yoongi then they haven't watched dope well. He is the highlight of dope to me. His energy is insane

''ARREST ME ARREST ME'' I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING HAHAHAHAHAHA who remembered JK's joke 😭 😭 😭 😂😂😂

this wasn't actually after Covid-19 guys, it's not rare to find a lot of people in Korea who wears masks (some wear it to just cover their faces on TV) + the term 'COMEBACK' within K-pop often refers to releasing a NEW ALBUM or NEW SONG/SINGLE after their PREVIOUS ALBUM!!! :-) hope that helps (I LOVE UR REACTIONSSSS)

Thank you sm guys!!!💜 and i can't wait to see your reaction to "I NEED U" mv

Nope this live was way before COVID. Comeback means they just released a new album. It’s their HYYH album ( the most beautiful moment in life, pt. 1). You should see their live as they “matured” here’s the snippet of my all time fave performance of JK’s high note 😍 https://youtube.com/shorts/tTg2n_ysTeo?si=JinPq0BC6UaW9maX

Thanks for skipping the lyric video- finally!! Loved the react!!! Bapsae Dance practice please!!!!!

I love it but there are so much better live stages for Dope, when you get to the concerts hopefully you will see

If you want learn more about their albums watch Boracity Magazine "BTS Discoghraphy", She explains how and when they released their albums and much more,

https://youtu.be/XjUvfQqarlU?si=v3Sim9C0gGQAtt9O You should watch this live performance if you want to see JKs high note 😍

personal favourite part of DOPE is JK’s raspy high note 😍 it’s glorious 🥰💜

The reference of giving up on 3 and giving up 5 is referring to have to give up on the way of living (on buying a house, on finding love, finding a stable job and so on) , In their song Baepsae (Silver Spoon) has and explanation video that addresses this issue.

Testosterone 🤣🤣🤣

guys that performance was in 2015, no where near covid times 😂

I feel like there are so many better Dope live videos with a live band! But that's just my opinion! hopefully once youve seen more songs you can watch medleys of songs together like: Dope, Baepsae, Fire, Run

This was a comeback stage, which is what kpop calls the period when new music comes out. This would have been on one of the music programs (TV shows) thats why the stage is small. The companies release the fanchants before the appearances so that the crowd is part of the performance.

“it’s like ASMR for the eyes” had me crying 😭🤣So excited for boy in luv, boyz with fun, baepsae, fire etc 👏🏾👏🏾

Love that you always pick a older live version to really see how they improve through the years, but i really love this song in the "newest" tours (because there arent really new shows 🥹🥹🥹)

Watch not today, baspae, on .

Thanks for the reaction but i wish you would react to one of their more vocal songs in these early era. As you perception of these earlier years is a tiny bit off. Enjoyed the reaction tho as always 🙂

Yay, thank you! I hope you’ll react to more of their older songs, like Just One Day, Boy in Luv, War of Hormone,… 💜

audiences wearing masks during performances was pretty common in korea long before covid!

RM talks about the Korean youth, facing intense economic pressure, started by giving up courtship, marriage, and children (the Sampo generation), then added home ownership, job prospects, and personal dreams, evolving into the Opo (five) and N-po (n-number) generations, sacrificing major life goals for survival in a system that seems rigged, eventually giving up even hope or life itself due to overwhelming competition and inequality. This song is indeed Dope. And it was the first song by BTS that I heard, and I am an ARMY since 2015. 💜💜

💜💜

People in korea wear masks just in general and also they are kind of known to have dead crowds 😭

this was my first ever bts mv back in 2015, still probably one of my fav mvs just bc of that haha

dope whas definitely the music that made me a army hahaha i love it sooo much ❤️❤️

Regarding RM's comments about giving up 3 and now 5, in Korea there's a ranking of how much you have to give up to achieve something in life; they number the level. So, if you give up on owning a car Or a house has a specific number indicating how much you've given up. I think there's an explanation about it on DKTV.

You guys should react to ‘Boy in luv’ by BTS and ‘Killin it girl’ and ‘Mona Lisa’ by Jhope also for killin it girl you should react to the official MV and the solo choreography version too

I need you and run are part of the bangtan universe, you will have to pay attention to the video and all the details, hope you will enjoy 💜💜💜 you should do the mvs in order, you can find the list on internet. I can’t wait to see what do you think about it cause you guys are so good to understand all the messages behind the videos and the lyrics. Once again thank you so much for your reaction💜💜💜

Here in Brazil, the Dope era was when BTS started to become quite well-known. I've been an ARMY since 2017, but I remember hearing a lot about them back in 2015.

4:41 biraj saying “arrest me” for jungkook reminded me of that interview where they asked jimin what he’d be if he wasn’t an idol, he said a police officer and jungkook went “then arrest me” lmaoooo 😭💀

Dope made me discover BTS and instantly became an ARMY.

yeeeeeeees I met bus with dope, such a great song ♥️ Merry Christmas guys love you so much thanks for made my 2025 a better year ♥️♥️♥️

thanks !!! pls react to fire next oh and in the mv the line « i gotta make it fire, baby » was sung by jimin but in the live versions it’s jungkook who sings it

YESSSS LOVE YOUR REACTIONS ALWAYS🫶🏾

fun fact: in the studio version and the original music video, it’s jimin’s voice hitting the high notes even though it shows jungkook singing. however, in live performances, jungkook is the one who sings that part.
