Why Aliens by BTS felt so cathartic:

First love is such a good song
24:16 yup this stop Asian hate I remember it vividly
24:07 they did quite pave the way, mostly internationally
Jungkook was barely 20
Not the Jay Park jumpscare 😭
Shout out to my boy, Jre!!! (@/ JREKML) one of the OG K-pop YouTube reactor!! I still watch him to this day 💜 The Asian American artists they showed speaking were before and/or during BTS' debut and throughout their American success. Huge fan of Eric Nam. He's one of the OG k-pop interviewers as well. He was in the last Rise episode where they were all wearing the pajamas. He's known BTS since their debut. I was lucky enough to see Eric live a couple years ago. He's truly amazing. So sweet and funny too. "2! 3!" means so much to me. Definitely on my list for one of my next tattoos. I got my "7 " tattoo in 2020 then I got "Stay", "Tomorrow", and "약속" (Jimin's "Promise") all in 2022. 💜
in my country, the moment you mention k-pop/ south korea everyone is like BTS?? whether they hate them or love them, everyone knows BTS. they are really the standard and kpop is now globally known so much bc of BTS. they paved the way. the nation's pride.
💜💜💜💜
please watch butterfly colour coded then live please
I don't know if you believe it or not... In my country, I mean Bangladesh... when you watch something Korean, Chinese, Japanese, or Thai, 80% of people (mostly men) think and say, "Oh, you like BTS!" Although they mean it in a negative way because of insecurity, you can see much influence they have that people may not know them, but everyone knows them. It's kindda funny to me, fr!!
I'm from Bangladesh too, what a coincidence!
The “Purple ARMY Bomb Project” was a fan led initiative where ARMY covered the lightstick with purple film to create a unified purple glow, ARMY surprised the guys during the encore by lighting up the venue in purple. At that time, lightsticks weren’t centrally controlled, so the effect was entirely created by army themselves, making it even more meaningful. The members were deeply moved by the gesture, especially during “2! 3!” and Yoongi even referred to it as the purple ARMY bomb. Later, Tae explained that purple represents lasting trust and love between them and us, giving the moment an even deeper emotional significance. I just love them so much.
Please react to Jungkook my time 💜💜 or Jungkook Hate you on I heart radio
You should react also your firts live AMA AWARDS reaction this coming MAY 25...
2! 3! really have a special place in my heart. That song always made me tear up as I became a full fledged army in 2016 which why WINGS album will always be my best album.
Ronnie: “Starcraft is like old people shit bro” HAHAHA im loving GenZ reactions to millenial-era BTS 😂
Bangtan really did pave the way for Kpop. I got into kpop in 2015 and the scene felt so huge, but it wasn't "mainstream". It seriously felt so surreal, when I actually hear their music playing on the radio in my small island 🏝️☺️
Especially when I used to write radio stations to play my fave kpop songs years before 🙂↕️ I couldn't stop smiling when I heard them fr ☺️💜
Even though this happened years ago, I still got anxious 😖 ARMYs don't play 💜
Here's the talk from Bang PD if you guys are interested in checking it out. It's an interesting watch: https://youtu.be/doA-QM3DErE?si=GUcxAVsITl_nMECL
I loved that you felt 4 o clock. Please react to it. Its was one of my favorite unit songs. <3
GUYS did u ever consider reacting korean varshow on your kdrama channel and please react to kian bizzare pleaseeee
Ohh definitely
OMG Finally!!! was waiting for this!!
I enjoy watching the Rise of Bangtan with you guys! And every time I see that racism.. good grief those haters have nothing better to do other than complain. Can’t accept the fact that people love BTS and that ARMY is there for them
watch 4 o' clock live too
Sadly, BTS racism still exist till this day. And not just in America, even in Asian countries. BTS and ARMY has gone through all the hate and had been fighting even our own co-asians just for our right to love and express the band and music we like which is insane. I'm from the Philippines and whenever I share my love for BTS, you can't imagine the hate comments I've hears which is sad - I don't even talk back any more its hard to talk to close minded people but it hurts coz BTS is love you know? It pains me
Your point about paving the way is valid. For more information, watch Boracity Magazine video "BTS paved the way, why is it so hard to accept it?"
V tiny desk
Watching ARMY sing 2!3! back to BTS is so special to me and it shows that yes BTS gives comfort to ARMY but ARMY is also the one comforting BTS back like our relationship is always been two ways we are each others magic shop
You should react to Boracity Magazine videos
Hello from wales 🏴🤣
This was one of my favourite Rise of Bangtan episodes, the start of their global takeover i’d say 🥹 all the key takeaways you’ve mentioned are literally the reasons why I love this episode sm, from Suga’s mindset shift to RM’s award speech, watching this documented growth just fills you up with pride and happiness💜
Vote for BTS on amas!!! voting ends this week!
It’s been a long Time since Jin songs/performances reaction…so I recommend : AWAKE (+live perf bc MV doesn’t inclide the full song), ABYSS (lyrics vidéo), MOON, TONIGHT
His whole echo album I'd say and 'Heart on the window feat.Wendy'
Yeah BTS really paved the way. Like the other comments say, it would be cool if you guys react to Boracity Magazine's video about it. But I also wanted to mention that she (Boracity Magazine) has a lot of video essay about BTS and the music industry (american and korean). I really want you to react to them because I think it makes you understand a lot of discriminations and hardships that BTS has gone through (that they are still going through).
When armys say 2017-18 was our dark times they meant it for real. We fought HARD for bts. We were fighting kpop fans since 2016 because of their success in SK then we have to fight social media of the blatant racism for going global. THEN post success we’re back to fighting amateur kpoppies who weren’t there when it was impossible to talk about kpop in a good light in the US. when it wasnt even on the agenda for companies to put their group outside of SK. When kpop fans tried to cope by mocking our BBMAs award calling it paper award, saying they don’t need invalidation from Americans like us. Who do they think got random kpop groups on lollapalooza? Who put kpop categories on AMAs, VMAs, or BBMAs? And in the end they don’t even last because they can copy exposure but not longevity. BTS left for 4 years and kpop fans did nothing but pray for their downfall only for them to be back with more noise than ever everywhere around the world lmfao Sorry got a bit heated there☺️
this right here it feels like kpopies don't want to do any work but reaps the benefit of the success of bts but they still hate on bts coz their faves can never beat our boys
4 o'clock is a beautiful song, please react!
OMG It was during this time that I started learning more about BTS. I was so confused, amazed, and curious about everything related to them. It all began when an ex-boyfriend asked me "do you know what BTS is?" and from there, it was an endless journey for me. Now that I'm an adult and involved in other people's lives (I'm a teacher) with so much to do, I feel like I'm growing up with them, and seeing them change along with me fills me with a whole new level of nostalgia!!
react to my time by jungkook before seeing next chapter please
my gosh, going back to 2017 was a trip. So much nostalgia for me. I remember staying up at 5am? 4am? to watch this award show, bearing in mind I never heard of this award show. I had to wake up at 7 for school but that didn't matter. I remember taking screenshots and going on Twitter, it was crazy. Also, the award show was before september so Jungkook was literally 19. This time was crazy, soo much fame but soo much hate. That's what they meant, they grew in fame more than the pace of their journey which got them worried if they could handle all of this pressure. Like no one wants to be the first in something because it's a lot of pressure and makes you want to run away. I remember how they felt. Also, in the speech, namjoon spoiled their next album which was love yourself
VOTE BTS @ THE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS https://vote.theamas.com/ - Artist of the Year - Song of the Summer - Best Male K-POP Artist 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Watching those moments of the BBMA made me so nostalgic. Everyone a reminder to not forget to vote for BTS on AMA as well, they're nominated in 3 categories and we're against many hard competitors. Let's give back to our bangtan for coming back after those hard years and for keeping their promise💜 vote.theamas.com
4o'clock by V ft. Rm is the main reason I became an army, I just fell in love with Tae's deep comforting ocean voice even before getting to see his face, and it happens that he became my bias too 💜
next is mama by jhope and reflection by rm!!
Please give reaction to Jimin-Filter lyrics and live performance day 1 (https://youtu.be/mTEWcAVuXIk?si=hjkT-NKmPsBdHMGW)
Wow two in one day. We are lucky. BTW. I love you guys. So respectful, so smart, so charming, so ARMY.
Guys since you’ve checked out “love wins all” and have watched a k-drama with IU i suggest watching the episode of Suchwita where she stars as a guest.
4 o'clock was written by Taehyung for Jimin!
It was written, composed and produced by RM and V but was inspired by Taehung's experience waiting for Jimin at a park in the early morning hours.
That moment when ARMY start singing 2!3! Lyrics back for BTS is such a powerful moment that it always gives me goosebumps. BTS were going through a lot during that time and they knew that ARMY were going through a lot as well trying to protect BTS from all the hate from other fandoms and industry. BTS wrote this song for ARMY. But listening to ARMY sing those same lyrics for them was so meaning for them. That moment shows the bond that BTS and ARMY share.💜💜💜💜 Loved your reaction guys. Can't wait for your next video.
Jk live at time square plss

You guys need to react to boracity videos from now, all her videos are pure facts with statistics.. Few examples are (Bts paved the way, bts contract renewal didn't come out of no where, "the next bts" why they fail everytime, why the boyband hiatus doesn't apply to bts,how the bts army changed fandom culture, respect your seniors-mock your juniors, bts vs boybands coming back) These are all goated videos and more but yeah, Introduction to bts army will also do good by xCeleste (honestly, another great army creator)
I think they're taking their time learning Bangtan by listening to and watching Bangtan content directly, even though Rise is curated, it's still the words and expressions of the boys themselves. They have however done 2 intro videos on the channel, one from xCeleste and one from Boracity.
BTS truly paved for everyone 🙌🔥
Hi guys, please react to "BTS HARDSHIPS 2013-2021 | Racism, mistreatment, accusations + more | Struggles throughout the years" by xCeleste https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdY6wnLsetQ&t=1643s
The song “Change” RM’s collaboration with Wale is a hidden gem that not many people react to. I hope you do. Love your content 💜🫰🏻🇨🇦
🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻✨️✨️✨️
Guys, the next chapter is “My Time.” It’s Jungkook’s song, so please react to it before moving on to the next chapter.
Actually, those are just the chapter names, but most of the time they don’t use those songs in the chapters. The next chapter focuses more on “Reflection” by RM and “Mama” by J-Hope
I really want you guys to watch BU things including Wings short films…It’s really insane!
this is nothing you guys need to listen to agust d the last it's unbelievable song🫠
it's fact that they paved the way we're always proud of them 🥹💜
Let's give it our all to win this AMA for them. We got this... Fighting......
you should react to « bts burn the stage », « friends » by jimin and taehyung + the story behind the dumpling incident for yoongi i recommend « the last » It's a song that tells his story
I don't remember if you should react to reflection (song in the background of the preview for next chapter) before the next rise (and MAMA too..?), but I just wanted to say that song really really really left at mark on my heart. I was going to tattoo it onto my collarbone when I turned 18, but ended up with everythingoes (RM) instead as it became my mantra to get out of the empty hollowness of the depressive episodes :') Sending lots of love everyone! <3
For the next Rise Of Bangtan checkout “Reflection” by RM and I really hope you check the lyrics from “doolset lyrics” https://doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/2018/06/16/reflection/ 👈🏻 here is the link for easy access 💜
guys please watch THE LAST BY AGUSTD. his live stage at the last dday concert was very moving
Before bts you could never get K-pop albums on target or Walmart you had to make a special order thru the Korean companies that took so much money for taxes and all but because army put in the work and made numerous requests to these chains to make bts albums available in American stores was one of the thing that many people don’t know it’s because bts became popular all K-pop albums got distribution rights because the American companies saw the demand for these albums #Btspavedtheway
I love BTS ya’ll 😭 excited for next episode… 🫠
man... i almost forgot about the days when army bombs couldn't change colour! armys were so creative with the purple bags over the lightsticks
Vote at the amas
i have a few recommendations for you to understand the things bts has gone through and how the industry treated them. it will help you understand why armys are protective towards the memebers . so there are video essays by BORACITY MAGAZINE which is very informative . 1. "respect your seniors , mock your juniors" bts lesson on respect 2. the bts military strategy and the one who discredit it 3. why most army dont like kpop 4. bts vs radio 5. the problem with the "masterminds" behind bts 6. why the music industry is terrified of bts 7. "the next bts" why they ail everytime i would love if you react to these videos and tell your prespective too
The racism they got is so disgusting
U should react to "4 o'clock" (V and RM) and along with that, you could react to the song "Friends" (V and Jimin) and the Vmin fight over the dumpling. Both songs were written about that fight.
yes!!
Guy's that's why we should vote for AMA please vote go on website search ama voting log in with email and vote in all 2 catagory and also vote on Instagram please for our boy's we have to win anyhow 🙏🏻🙏🏻
They’re nominated in 3 categories: artist of the year, song of the summer, best male K-pop artist
4o’clock by V is a beautiful song! And I am grateful to V for making it 💜 RM and V’s voices are the ultimate comfort!!
my time by jungkook
also v created the meaning of borahae and that’s why purple is bts’s official colour 💜
Next week : solo = respect and Mama and group = wings. If you want to watch before. I love Mama song, Jhope sang with such an emotion, his mother must be really proud of him
suga most of the time says suga before his raps but it doesn’t mean that when he does it he’s produced the song, that’s just his signature thing he does before starting his raps 💜
MY TIME JUNGKOOK LIVE PERFORMANCE IN THAT RED DRESS PLEASEEE
Vote for BTS on AMA's
Amazing reaction!!!
VOTE FOR BTS AT THE AMAS PLEEEEASE
Suga says after making arirang album , he doesn't have any negative feelings left in his mind, I m really happy for him , my boys finally they can do what they want ❤️✨

yass ronnie!! BTS paved the way indeed. yall HAVE to watch boracity magazine's video on that. its super insightful
Omg yesss.. they would get so much information and would love to hear their prespective
Please react to ‘love letters’. It’s a song made by armys for bts. Jungkook, rm and jimin even reacted to it on livestream. 💜
I love this episode so much. Racism was crazy back then. And believe me when I say this, they still get racist comments thrown at them :( People even used to make fun of armys for liking bts back then.
speaking of BBMAs and voting, DONT FORGET TO VOTE FOR BTS AT AMAS YALL!!! 💜
