BTS Rise of Bangtan | Chapter 18: Moving On

If you only knew, Jk is a big cry baby of the group, he's soft hearted. But once JK cried, the tannies can't stand it especially Suga and RM.

You guys can check out the history of Kpop by DKDK TV.

also i recommend you guys to watch "Let's BTS" it's one of my fav content by bts

i hope you guys watch the bts 10th year documentary here after some time cuz it's one of the most intricate story-telling of bts' experience when they took off to the highest of fame during dynamite and the revelation of their hardships during the pandemic too

bts being declared as seo taiji's successors is by far the best slap to the people who don't believe bts paved the way for kpop. the father of kpop himself recognized bts, how come do the haters think their opinions are freaking justified?

I get so emotional when Yoongi cries, it's rare to see him cry so it always really gets to me, RM too.

There was serious cultural significance to Seo Taiji inviting BTS to perform several numbers with him in his 25th Anniversary Concert. Seo Taiji was the first person in Korea to bring western style music to Korea in the 1990's. He challenged harsh Korean censorship rules, fighting for free speech. He once got so mad when one of his songs was rejected by the censors that, rather than rewrite the lyrics, he just released it as an instrumental. It really pissed off the public. In some ways, BTS had more in common with Seo Taiji than other Kpop idols. Both of them were born out of American hip hop, and both wrote about social & political issues. The message of this concert was Seo Taiji passing the baton to the next generation - BTS.

https://youtu.be/kCXDaft_NGo?si=QN1zv17NqQa0B7tX ya'll DEFINITELY HAVE TO WATCH THIS ARMY CLASSICAL so I created a song out of bts memes. Almost every army has probably seen it so I hope ya'll watch it too. Army's please either like this comment so that they can react to it or either make a lots of comments about this mv with the linkk plzz

please listen to jungkook still with you solo

Guys can u please make an upi option to pay for your patreon.I really like to pay but can't due to country restrictions

Patreon army are you ready for the "Come Over" release.Lets us stream even more than before .Seem like others artist too will be releasing .So let's us claim the 1st position as ever .💜

I missed the community chat - did you guys get tickets for Sydney or Melb ? Just curious as I'll be doing Sydney day 2

Faker always reminds me of Seo Taiji ... He was about 45 when he did this 25th concert... incredible stamina and he's such a nice guy too. Very special time for young BTS.... For him to 'choose' BTS back then as his people to hand the torch to was really telling.. it meant that from all the other groups from that time, BTS were the ones who were writing about the messages that Seo Taiji and his group were earlier. The guy you said ' we see that guy all the time' is Son Sung Deuk.. he was their main in house choreographer/Dance instructor for many years.. he now works with Katseye a fair bit as he is the Performance Director for Hybe US.

Jungkook cried a lot (as did other members) when fans at Wembley sang the chorus of Young Forever 💜💜

"What kind of cake is that?" ...pretty sure its playdough 🤣

"Outro: Wings" is such an amazing song. I cry every time. Yoongi crying in this just made me think of his last concert on the D-Day tour where he didn't just cry, but actually sobbed. It was heart wrenching and beautiful. Ya'll definitely need to check out his Road to D-Day documentary. Also still waiting on you finally watching the BU ( BTS Universe) storyline and the Love Yourself Highlight Reel!!!

The way I love this collab so so so much.

if you want to know about the history of k pop, you can check out this 20 min video, which covers the basis nicely https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPS4tCHT6SA&pp=ygUdaGlzdG9yeSBvZiBrcG9wIGluIDIwIG1pbnV0ZXM%3D

25:10 “We see that guy everywhere” That’s Son Sung-deuk, their original choreographer/ performance director. I imagine they’ve spent more time with him than anyone else!

💜🫰🏽🫰🏽💜

Guys it’s time to react to stray kids plssss

It was so emotional!!!

Oo you guys should check out DKDKTVs video on "KPOP history explained in 20 mins"

It is 2026, and we are witnessing BTS's comeback—the biggest in history—and seeing them reap the rewards of their hard work: their album *Arirang* has hit number one and spent over eight consecutive weeks at the top of the charts (Billboard, Spotify, etc.), becoming the best-selling physical album of the year. They are also embarking on the most successful stadium world tour ever, with every show sold out—and they have only played 20 of the 80 scheduled concerts. Their fame is immeasurable, comparable only to that of The Beatles and Michael Jackson. 💜

YOU HAVE TO WATCH THEIR 'COME BACK HOME' COVER. It's teijis and Jin is killing it https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5zr7ro

Jungkook is acc the biggest crier out of all of em I’d say haha, especially when he’s on stage during ments

I know this is a bit of a tangent from the discussion and the group but I really hope one day they listen to Jin's OST for Jirisian "Yours". Quite possibly the most beautiful song I've heard, his emotion is just amazing, I actually used to fall asleep with it on sometimes. My you by Jungkook is another favorite. I think Ralaz would love it since they seem to love the japanese songs BTS do and those are similar I think in theme

you should react to their cover of Come Back Home by Seo Taiji it's amazinggg especially Jin's lower voice omg

you're almost finished this series omg, I'm gonna miss there reactions.

This was so great, thank you guys!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 I would love to see your guys reaction to Seo Taiji’s concert with the boys someday! He said he was passing the torch to them so they could continue the fight for youth💜

seo taiji and boys are sometimes considered the first kpop group because they were so influential that they shaaped kpop into what it is today. bts were given permission to cover seo taiji's song "come back home" which is a hip hop banger and would be great to see you guys react to it!

My babies have gone through soooo much!!!🥺 But they keep coming out on top and winning 🏆 because they have earned it and deserve everything good in the world!!!🥹🥰 APOBANGPO 4-LIFE!!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😎🤗🫰🏻

OMG I JUST NOTICED TOE SOCKS. JUNGKOOK WOULD LOVE YOU

Guys I would like you to react to “BTS paved the way, why is it so hard to accept it’’ first i would like to say kpop isn’t that amazing and good

DKDKTV actually have a video "the history of kpop" if you're interested

❤️

Don’t worry, it’s just that you haven’t encountered many yet 😌.. JK’s rly softhearted when it comes to the members and army.. we always see JK and all of the maknae line cry.. hyung line rarely esp rapline.. when namseok tries not to cry, it’s not like they wanna hide it but their voices doesn’t easily shake when they cry or abt to cry, with yoongi (idk abt others if they have same observations as me) if you rly watch him closely, it’s rly easy to tell when he’s abt to cry and trying to repress it, the brows, the eyes, trembly lips, nose scrunch, awkward body language in an attempt to hide it (same when he’s embarrassed tho diff gesture), and muffled shaky speech.. that’s why when he tries not to cry, he will talk more less or will not talk at all. If you watch more behind the scenes of 2016 MMA when yoongi broke down crying, the members were surprised except for joon… hobi thought yoongi was fake crying and being his usual cheeky self, jimin and jk keeps on checking on him coz they didn’t thought he would cry. When yoongi was asked why he cried, he said its coz he saw namjoon, during the AROTY speech joon was trying not to cry while thanking all the people in their journey. That’s when I realized yoongi hides his vulnerability even to the members but maybe sometimes except for joon coz they’ve mentioned they’ve cried together after practice watching award shows and worrying abt their uncertain future and in namjoon’s words, “once yoongi cries, it’s like a faucet, it doesn’t stop”, and very soft when it comes to the members tho he acts nonchalant. During AMA when yoongi cried in the shower, joon was always beside yoongi every interview around those times if not near. ……….. uhm, sorry for the essay, anyways… NAMJOON BEST LEADER.. also I love namgi’s bond, whatever it is.

35:00 I so hope you’ll go further into K-pop one day haha, also some other K-pop groups that were big and started opening it up for BTS I’d say Bigbang, 2NE1, Girls Generation, H.O.T, Shinhwa, TVXQ, Super Junior, Wonder Girls and SHINee to name the main ones / most famous

24:22 aaaaawwww Yeontan babyyy

MMA's and MAMA'S of 2016-17 are still in the line. Do watch them too.

You should react to the cypher medley live is amazing

Before the next episode, it would have been nice to react to the poems from the episode 56 of run bts. You won't have time, so I found this video which includes this part of the episode : https://youtu.be/DLnmm-lNWgs?is=w743_ZdQjyAHyLuy

As always, I love your reactions guys. 💜 When it’s the time for you to react to Wings Tour The Final in Seoul, you will get to see their full emotional speeches. But you may also watch the full cut of the speech (end ment), I once found it on dailymotion, idk if it’s available on youtube.. a lot of beautiful BTS videos uploaded by fans with lots (as in millions) of views from years ago were already gone from youtube, maybe because of copyright. Japanese concert stages are always so legendary (japan has best concert sound engineering imo), there’s that one brave YT channel (I think it was “BTS LIVE 7”) that uploads BTS’ japan concerts in HD… I always go there during my baby army days (didn’t know what’s streaming on official platforms nor charts yet lol) I was always the baby army who plays BTS live concerts/performances on loudspeaker at home… also I am the BTS piano playlist enthusiast baby army, there’s that 5hr long BTS piano playlist by doopiano… I was there when it was around 9M views, I think it’s almost 20M now. Therefore, I was useless in charts 😭 but my LOVE was big 😌. Anyway, I learned and contributes now 😂✌️.

Watch my time, your eyes tell, RUN EP 105

our little yeontan is forever engraved on taehyung's solo album LAYOVER

When J-Hope said "I wonder how hight Bangtan can rise"?? I want to tell him at the TOP OF THE WORLD,BIGGEST BAND IN THE WORLD💜😭

https://youtu.be/kPS4tCHT6SA?si=Ic-MR2Usy_E15zmM Since you guys asked about the history of kpop

If you have enjoy BTS more they have all the performances BTS did with Seo taiji. I recommend come back home.

Eomukkkkk 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭Yeontannnnn 😭😢😭😢😭

bts has a remake of seo taiji's 'come back home' for their 25th anniversary and i LOVE that song like oxygen. its so underrated, hope you guys get around to watching it soon <3

Please watch boracity magazine’s “BTS paved the way, why is it so hard to accept it?” I feel like you guys would understand WHY we say it was BTS who made Kpop known globally and also answer your questions!!

Yoongi crying always gets me 😭😭

"You dont see JK cry like that on stage"....oh boy you havent seen enough yet. lmao he is the biggest crybaby when it comes to army, concerts etc. He cries reading fan letters, he cries in concerts, he cries if he messes up on stage...He is a soft hearted muscle bunny. Suga,on the other hand, doesnt cry often. So it was shocking to see him cry in front of an audience.

Please Suchwita with WOOZI, that's suga's long lost brother/ doppelganger

If you guys wanna learn more about K-pop, you can watch K-pop history in 20 mins by DKDKTV. It's not necessary, but it does explain the origin of K-pop and stuff like that

You all should check out BTS "COME BACK HOME" cover live. Its peak cover.

Boys, no BTS member had face surgery except RM which was also for deviated septum . Many plastic surgeons also analyzed confirmed their natural faces . Even comparing their debut face you wont see any surgery . Antis have dragged with rumors, recently with JK nose which hasnt change from debut. BigHit was BROKE how can they even afford????????

Seo Taiji and Boys were a group from 1992 - 1996, either one of the first or literally the first “k-pop group” ever. They disbanded due to military service, I believe, but were massively impactful, like the video said, especially because of the social commentary lyrics. Remember south korea was a dictatorship until 1987, so only 5 years before their debut, and a lot of things were going on politically. The 2017 anniversary concert was kind of a symbolic “passing the torch” vibe, like a recognition of BTS as artists. I would LOVE a Suchwita epipode with him one day.

Also guys, PLEASE React to GO GO Especially with the Halloween dance practice: https://youtu.be/Fl54gG0B8I0?si=lfBSD6kOvgzf5JTI

It’s the Hyung line crying that usually gets me 😭😭😭 I’m ugly crying again Also the Maknae line do cry often, particularly JK 🥹

Maybe try these covers from BTS Classrooms idea and Come back home. You heard the first in this video (11mn15) but they did another one incrdible during an Korean show the second one, it is one you must react If you didn’t see the performance of Mic Drop in 23mn25, it is also one you need to watch, it was legendary as RM would say

To know more about the BTS Army, it is a must watch Boracity Magazine's "How BTS Fandom Changed Fandom Culture".

Oh can't wait next chapters and bonus /deleted content 🥰 I cried mess watching this again ofc lol Seo taji told Bts "it's your generation now". Out of everyone in the industry, he chose them. That means ALOT.

lmao it's so funny to me that you say you don't see Jungkook cry like that often 'cause he's like the biggest crier ever😭😂 like in "Love yourself, Speak yourself -highlight Commentary" they end up counting how many times he cried on tour on stage and it was like 7😭

I forgot this is the episode where Yeontan is being featured 🥹 fyi boys, he is one of army's love. Taehyung adored him so much and was even the cover of his album, Layover. He's such a big part of armys' lives as well. Taehyung posted videos and introduced him to us. He will always be loved. Unfortunately, he's passed. But will forever be army's little Yeontan. 🥹💜 And Jin's sugar gliders, Eomuk (fish cake) and Odeng (somehow synonym to fish cake). When Eomuk passed, he got a 3rd sugar glider named Gukmul (soup). Jin informed us during one of his Eat Jin lives years ago, that Odeng has passed. And it was said that his solo song Tonight is a tribute to his pets. 🥹 (As far as I know, Gukmul is still alive.)

Once you finish the album listening, you should watch their old concerts too. You'd love them.🥰

SEO Taiji and boys are the founding fathers of modern KPop. What you’re seeing is BTS was being handed the reins by SEO Taiji to carry on the Kpop journey. SEO Taiji paved the first part, now it’s BTS turn to pave the way further for KPop 💜

Guys please watch bora city magazine why most armys don't like kpop💜💜💜💜

On the topic of plastic surgery. Our boys are pretty much au naturale particularly Jin who’s been confirmed by a lot of plastic surgeons that he’s just born that beautiful.

Woohoo! Let’s go guys 🥰

I can't believe we're almost done with Rise of Bangtan 🥹 chapter 18 already

FIRSTTTTT.....🥹🥹Guysss pls do a reaction to a long tiktok compilation...those contains so much moments that aren't in the official videos ..I hope you take this recommendation..😊😊
