BTS Rise of Bangtan | Chapter 21: Magic Shop

The creator of this series - Aneesa stopped was due to couple of reasons which she shared in couple of livestreams she did. She started this in 2018 after the famous speech by Jin when they told ARMYs that they were thinking about disbandment (Love Yourself era). This started as being a story she wanted to tell about them and her original timeline was to end around LY era but they kept getting bigger and bigger and basically it was till same shit bigger stage. Plus she got her dream job so she couldn’t do this full time. She’s an editor and she wanted to do justice to the series. Plus BigHit had announced another docu series covering LY era (2019).

Yes, John Cena is a big fan of BTS and has talked about them a lot. His bias is J-Hope. This woman talking about fandoms reminds me of videos from Boracity Magazine. The truth behind crazy fandoms How the BTS ARMY changed fandom culture

John Cena is a huge ARMY. Jhope is his bias. As far as we know, he has not met them in person, but I'm hoping he will get to at the LA concert. Suga even mentioned him on the last episode of Suchwita as someone he would like to have come on as a guess next season of the show. And Anissa stopped the series early because Disney+ announced they were going to be releasing an 8 part documentary series about BTS and their history. She said in a post that it felt a bit like her efforts would be lacking compared to what a big budget docuseries could do. (Honestly, Rise of Bangtan was better than the Disney doc.)

please watch Begins ≠ Youth

I would love if you guys start Are You Sure s1 and s2

El Mariach Jin... just can't not hear it after all these years hahaha

Great reaction as always. Please go through the official Docuseries now. The Disney+ one is the best to follow this since you have context of their timeline but that Documentary has the BTS members interviews. It also haa wider coverage since it ends around the time they went into the military so it extends further than TROB. It's called BTS: Monument Beyond the Stars

In my humble opinion Rise of Bangtan is the best documentary about them .It made with such big love ,care ,intelligence and attention to details .Better than Netflix documentary.

💜💜💜💜

Omg, the final of the Rise of Bangtan journey. Thank you so much guys, for watched this series. You understand everything 💜

You guys are amazing 💜🫶

Answer love myself live plss

and that's how a saga comes to an end, thank you guys for take the time and react to The Rise Of Bangtan.

I can't wait for your reaction to Love Yourself concert✨️

Such a beautiful ending to such a phenemonal fanmade docu!! 💜🫶🥰😊😍😭

Already teared up at the quote “fans girls are capable of sth some adults can’t even do and that’s loving without apology and regret” then they had to hit me with magic shop. Army is out to kill

Guys you shoud react to all solo albums when you finished all the ot7 albums.

Its sad that this is the end of such a well-made documentary series but I’m glad it ended by showing ARMY’S impact and passion 💜 would love to see you react to celebs praising BTS, like this John Cena interview, man went on and on about BTS when it was his OWN interview! https://youtu.be/eRZs8gmFhT4?is=pJ_t6q4sdYJJChQF

ah what a journey

rowan is right man.. he might have seen fifty shades of grey and that man in right he said he know is christian grey (got exposed lol)

John Cena is an ARMY! He's a J-Hope bias.

Love Yourself World Tour- the tour featured in this episode is the last official Tour before Arirang - it's so long ago - apart from some one off concerts - Permission To Dance and Yet To Come Busan, there's been no world tour since then until Arirang! Hence why ARMYs are so passionate about getting tickets!

Interviewers were actually trying to portray ARMY/boy band fangirls as insane. It's always been like this: men cry for their sports idols, fight, curse, but if women become fans of someone to the point of screaming or getting emotional, they're labeled crazy, infantilized, or ridiculed. I wish the creator of this series, The Rise of Bangtan, could continue this masterpiece. I love being an ARMY and I love BTS.Borahae 💜 ⟭⟬ BTS ⟭⟬ 💜

I hope we get are you sure soon Ik you guys will love it!!

Why isn't Chapter 22 on YouTube?

Hi! 💜 First of all, thank you so much for everything you do. I’ve been following your BTS journey since the very beginning, and I honestly just wanted to say that you’ve become my favorite reaction channel. BTS means so much to me, so I’m really picky about who I watch react to them, but your channel completely raised my standards for BTS reaction channels. What I love the most is how genuine your reactions are. I love how much attention you pay to details, how well you remember things from previous videos, and how you connect everything together. It makes your BTS journey so much more enjoyable to watch. Because of you, it’s honestly become difficult for me to find another reaction channel that gives me the same feeling. You’ve made my standards way too high! 😂 Now you’re the reaction channel I’m always waiting for every single day. I also watch your anime channel, and I love your reactions to One Piece, Naruto, My Hero Academia, and everything else you react to. I genuinely enjoy both of your channels, and they’ve become some of my favorite content to watch. At the same time, following your BTS journey has become something really special to me. Watching you slowly discover BTS, their music, their personalities, and their story has been such an amazing experience, and I honestly look forward to every new BTS reaction you upload. This year has honestly been one of the hardest years of my life. I graduated from university, but at the same time my family has been going through a lot because of my mom’s cancer. It’s been a really difficult and emotionally exhausting time. Through all of that, BTS gave me so much comfort, and so did your reactions. Having something to look forward to every day, even if it’s just one of your videos, has helped me more than you probably realize. Right now I’m unemployed and spending most of my time at home taking care of my mom, so your videos have honestly become one of the highlights of my days. Sometimes I even wish you’d upload two or three videos every day because I finish watching them so quickly and immediately want more. That’s why I wanted to ask one more time if you’d consider uploading 2 Bon Voyage S2 episodes a week until you finish the season. I really hope you’ll consider it. 🥹 There are still so many moments in this season that I’m excited to see you react to. Some are emotional, some are hilarious, and quite a few became iconic inside jokes among ARMY. I honestly can’t wait to experience those moments with you, and I think two episodes a week would keep the excitement going while helping you finish the season sooner. Once you finish S2, you could always go back to your usual schedule and start reacting to the BTS documentaries. I know a lot of ARMY would love that too. Thank you again for all your hard work. You made one of the hardest years of my life a little easier, and I’ll always be grateful for that. I truly hope you’ll consider my little request, but no matter what you decide, I’ll keep supporting and enjoying your journey. I’m really looking forward to everything that’s still to come. 💜

Please are you sure Jungkook and Jimin please

Are you sure Jungkook and Jimin please please

I would definitely watch all of the official documentaries they have now too. I know a lot of clips were featured in the rise of bangtan...but you can still watch their growth through each tour they have done

1. Burn the stage 2. Bring the soul 3. Break the silence 4. Beyond the star

i love this clip of John Cena and putting it in this episode was really smart, it truly shows that everyone love them no matter the genre and there's still people calling us a fandom of crazy girls

I still can't believe ROB ended to this day I'm still hoping Aneesa releases the remaining episodes and maybe just maybe one day she'll come back and continue it. 😢

Please replace this with the official documentaries! Also, Junguggi wrote Magic Shop! I always get choked up singing Mikrokosmos, Magic Shop, WAB Eternal etc., cause they’re made for ARMY and are just so wholesome.

Genuinely, I can't say how much it means to see you guys' reaction to and conversation about female enthusiasm instantly being seen as crazy. It's so refreshing to see men actually listening and acknowledging the experience. And as Biraj mentioned; sports. Although we're no strangers to people being hateful or obsessive in fandoms, it's still very very rarely about actual violence like it often is in relation to sports games, which is instead praised as a passion and excused because of heightened emotions. I can bet that many of us here have been ridiculed many times for our interest/love for BTS or other artists. Thank you for being open to learning, trying to stay respectful and showing not only intellectual intelligence, but also emotional intelligence, which is just as important - if not more. Appreciate it guys!

Please watch Are you sure

please watch the official documentaries in chronological order as well!!

This has been an amazing journey, guys. I actually rarely leave comments on videos for some reason, but at this point I can't control my emotions. I wanted to say that I have seen a lot of reactions to BTS, all sorts of people just reacting to their music or going deeper to learn more about them. Some were just there for the music, some for the hype. What surprised me about you is your genuineness, thoughtfulness and interest, as well as your open-minded approach to BTS. I couldn't actually believe that you were really that emotional and passionate about BTS until I started watching more and more of your videos. This is my first time subscribing to someone's Patreon and the first time I've literally watched every video on a channel. I was so surprised to see how deeply you dive into the lyrics and how you remember and notice even the smallest details. It doesn't feel like you're an outsider who's just trying to know BTS on the surface level. It feels like you're a part of the family, knowing and appreciating them just as much as the rest of us. Thank you for sharing this journey with all of us. Seeing BTS through someone else's eyes just makes me love them even more and brings me so much joy. It almost feels like I'm watching BTS with my fellow ARMY friends because your excitement and love spread to me too. Again, thank you so much for doing this and for simply being such kind human beings who share so much love with all of us. From Russia with love xx

Please react to junkook album

Thank you guys for this reaction! I think this is my favorite episode because of how they speak about Female excitement, I’m a woman and it’s wild to me how true it is that all I ever heard in around me was how crazy women get over boy bands specifically and how ARMY have changed lives because BTS has changed theirs! I almost cried again watching this lol! Lol, yeah John Cena is ARMY and his bias is Hobi! You just have the deleted and bonus scenes for this episode left. Once you finish listening to all the Wings songs(which I hope you listen to the full album even though you’ve already heard most of the songs), I hope you will watch a concert from that tour and then immediately jump into Burn The Stage(BTS’s first documentary, both the movie and series) please!!💜 As far as I’m aware the creator Aneesa stopped because she got an editing job(there were probably other things, I know she wasn’t completely happy with some of the episodes editing etc), at the same time BTS was about to release a documentary on Disney+ that covered the beginning of their career up to the present at that time so that played a factor as well in her stopping. She actually removed all of her videos from YT and someone else reuploaded them but I’m unaware if she gave her permission or not. I would have liked to seen more episodes, but at the same time TROB was just a collection of content that BTS has released so all this information/content is still(and continually) available we just have to find it ourselves. I really do hope you guys can add the documentaries to your schedule as they match up with the music/concert tours!

Ah, I am sad this has come to an end. I went down this road of Bangtan history again with you guys, and the nostalgia kept on hitting with every episode you guys covered, and I also enjoyed your guys' commentary. But I am hoping you guys will continue with the other docu series BTS have. Also is this too early to ask for RunJin reactions?

Guys I recommend jm and jk's " Are you sure? " next 👍

You guys should really Watch AHL or Rookie King!! Both are super funny and really nice

Guys it's a request from every viewers, if you ever start watching "Are you sure" the variety show please make it free.... 🤧😭🙏🙏

Aweeeee😭

Such a shame that they didn't continue this serie. I hope you guys replace THROB with BTS official documentaries now

I have watched this series dozens of times but it's been a while since I watched this last episode. It made me emotional through the whole episode. It's hard being a BTS fan in general, so many people don't understand the strong connection between ARMY and BTS. It's also hard to watch the disrespectful that girls and women get for their deep love of BTS and it's hard being a male fan for different reasons. Some people don't understand the depth of their music and assume it is all bubblegum pop, and I don't think the 3 english songs that came out during Covid helped that image for those who only know them through those songs. I honestly feel sorry for those people (because they are closed minded) who will never experience the joy that BTS can bring to your life, Thanks for reacting to this wonderful series. I appreciate how you actually "get it" unlike many other reactors. The creator of the series is a young woman named Aneesa. She is a professional video editor by day and although she had intended to do 23 chapters, she just got so busy and in demand in her day job that she couldn't continue. She said she had originally only created this series of videos for her friends and family who didn't understand the hype and she never expected it to become so popular with ARMY.

And their funny moments and this stuff please 🙏

guys i hope you put run bts in the next schedule

John cena is an army gys

Gys replace it with another variéty show like are you sure or bts in the soop after you watch the bonus and deleted scene

💜

John cena's bias is hobi. He has been an army for a long time. Im still waiting for the day they meet

So I don’t remember where rm has said this but the speech he gave here he says use bts use me to love yourself was something he got inspired by what jin said in his talk with rm at bin voyage episode that you recently saw where Jin talks about how he makes himself happy by making others happy or he makes himself laugh by making others laugh

I was there when TROB first dropped! It's really done by one person named Aneesa, but she had help frol Army to locate and download footage and to help with subtitiling to other languages. Aneesa is an actual video editor. At the time, she mentioned the biggest movie she worked on was Batman. She made the TROB series actually to explain to her family why she loves BTS so much, and it was a passion project when covid hit and she got dropped by other projects. She got spooked and deleted the whole channel when BTS announced they were gonna release the Monuments docu. She felt bad the the TROB series might talk over their actual story. I think in some ways she got bullied of the Internet too. Someone reuploaded the series after she deleted. Whatever one may think of her, I'm always glad for Aneesa and this series.

This has been a journey! Please also check out the Burn the Stage docuseries as well as other documentaries!

The reason army started soo many donations was because bts started donating so much and it inspired us army too

Loving BTS never felt onsided💜

john cena has been a diehard army for years!!

I really appreciate Ralaz' enthusiasm always. In August it will have been a year since you went down the rabbit hole with Dynamite. I just rewatched that reaction. I'd love for y'all to do an episode where you talk about your year of discovering BTS. I actually saw their very first performance on American TV. I had no idea who they were and the music and dancing was fine but what really astounded me was the audience who were singing along in Korean and obviously knew them. I didn't follow up then. It was years later when I visited my friend in Georgia and we spent the weekend watching kdramas and BTS and catching JK performing at a very rainy charity show that I got interested. She gave me Layover and I went home wanting to know more. I was starting to build a playlist of their music but I wasn't calling myself ARMY. For me I now realize I was ARMY long before I would claim it. That realization hit when Yoongi was serving and got scape goated. That enraged me so much that I wound up streaming Agust D non-stop on both my computers at home and on my work machine and phone. A week into that I had the epiphany about how protective I was about them all. Honestly I was more into the vocal line than the rappers but I was profoundly outraged at the unfairness and the hate that was being directed at Yoongi. So in a very strange way Suga made me realize that I was ARMY. apologies for the long post... I do appreciate you a LOT and I'm so glad that you managed to get tickets!

I've watched this episode countless times and yet, the final moment of RM speech still makes me cry hard 😭😭😭 yes, i've been using BTS to love myself and that's why i love them so much!! 💜💜

Guys you should definitely watch man join live on Weverse where he explains more about arirang and talks about his personal hopes and everything

Guys on disney + there is a bts documentry i recommend you to start to that show it is really good

Time to start their official docu series cause you see so much more of their lives during tours and how they co-e with things in tours

Please react to Boracity Magazine's documentary "BTS Fandom how They changed Fandom Culture". The documentary will show how they are important to BTS and how important BTS is to Army.

hey i love you videos, if you have time i would love it if you could watch the hyyh universe explanation video maybe after youve listened to mots. Thankssss

pls keep going with ot7 shows first! there are original docu series and movies as well. i think you guys totally should react to them. thank you so much 💜

I looove this ep cause it not only talks about bts history but also about fandom culture and how bts always validates the struggles that fans face unlike some artists who only highlight the negative sides if their ‘fans and although there are some really crazy fans even in army but they are not the majority so bts always tries to showcase more positive side if army instead if acknowledging the crazy ones they dint even call them army they just call them fans which I think is a word those kind if people don’t even deserve

Guys I didn't want to cry today 🥹

BURN THE STAGE NEXT PLEASE 🙏 💜

Can we replace the rise of bangtan to Are you sure please ?🙏 🥹

I highly recommend the Disney + Documentary next. It is SUCH a good extension to this. Kinda follows it well! :D

i think the creator mentioned that they stopped the series bcs bighit started releasing official well-made documentaries and behind the scenes and they wanted the fans to watch the original content. before, bighit used to upload mostly just random bangtan bombs, and that was the main source for rise of bangtan but we have SO MANY docus now lol

You should react to 'Epiphany Demo Ver' its so gooooooooooooood!!!!

Aneesa the creator got a job promotion that would take up more of her time. That’s why she’s had to let series go🫰🏼💜

I feel like a lot of celebs (singers, actors, model, influencers) are ashamed if they have a mostly female fanbase and they try to distance themselfs from that. Because unfortunatly our society only cares about male opinion; so for most of things they only start being taken seriously when males start taking it seriously. So a lot of teenage girls are ashamed of being fangirls in public because of not only backlash of the society but also from their own family/parents. I have never been a part of any fandom (music, tv show, movie,...) until I started struggling in 2016 and I discovered behind the scenes videos of BTS (i knew their music since debut; but because i was never in any fandom i never checked any behind the scenes content or even learned their names until then). And suddenly on Tumblr while searching for some BTS gifts I found an ARMY community and I made friends. And by their Spring day comeback I was an ARMY; I could gush and talk online with people who were also excited like me about each new stage and performance and video. I started using Twitter so I could vote for BTS for BBMAs (and see their posts directly without waiting for someone to post them on Tumblr with translations). And suddenly I had something to look forward to. I had every June to look forward to FESTA; I had December to look forward for their award shows performances. I had Tuesdays to look forward to for RUN BTS; and of course I had each comeback, tour, music show, bangtan bomb to look forward to basically every single day. It has now been almost 10 years and nothing has changed about my feelings towards BTS; they still make me look forward to living, simply so I can see what they decide to do next. And they are still sooo accepting and PROUD of having a big female fanbase. And that makes me feel seen and safe in this crazy world.

I hope you see this It was a great journey, I was watching it with you guys for the first time. Now that you finished the rise of bangtan, and there are tons of contents to watch, I kinda recommend to use Sunday for solo projects, and the other days for ot7 projects. Because solo contents are as many as ot7 contents. Solo albums (RM, mono, Agustd, hope world, d-2, jack in the box, face, d-day, indigo, layover, golden, happy, muse, echo, rpwp) Solo tours (dday tour, run seokjin tour and hope on the stage tour) Solo concerts and album showcases (hobipalooza, Face Live & promotion events, V tiny desk & layover live promo events, RM tiny desk & fan event for Indigo at Rolling Hall in Seoul, jungkook times Square performance and golden live on stage, jin's happy special stage, dday movie night with agustd) Solo documentaries (jimin's production diary, jhope in the box, jungkook's I am still, RM's right people wrong place, agustd road to dday) Solo shows & interviews (Run jin, Jinny's kitchen with V, hope on the street vol.1, Kian's Bizarre B&B with jin, jimin & jin on leemojin serviece, Jimin & jin on beat coin, jhope and V on iu's palette, jimin, yoongi, jin, jhope and jungkook on Jimmy fallon, jin on Wendy's Youngstreet, jimin on Furuya Masayuki's K TRACKS japanese radio show, jimin and yoongi on Pinggyego with Yoo Jae-su and other suchwita episodes... i swear i forgot to mention so many) Bonus:- Are you sure (jimin & jungkook) s1 and s2 Also, when are you reacting to the most beautiful moment in life (hyyh) story explained by Xceleste?? I am waiting patiently.

Can you plz watch are you sure? S1

34:15 exactly... Bangtan deserves the biggest apology..

Who is cutting the Onion here😭😭😭

Thank you so much for these reaction videos Ralaz friends. You don't know how many reactors of BTS I have watched before, and you guys by far are the only ones that felt very genuine with the way you understand and appreciate BTS and their music. You don't know how much it means to us older ARMYs, when people or new/baby ARMYs finally get our point of view; that this is not just about following famous artist or listening to good-looking guys, it's about the message and how it comforts a lot of us. At this point, I wouldn't really call you just reactors or whatsoever because you guys are basically baby ARMYs now. 😂 And you guys are very dedicated into really getting to know the boys and their music. And it's veryy well appreciated. If only others are just open minded and not too judgemental or racist or whatsoever, they'd understand that this is not just any hype. There's more to it. 💜

Please react to are you sure s1 and s2

Going through this series with yous has made my Sundays so wholesome 🥺❤️ thank you so much for being yourselves and for loving BTS like the rest of us 💜

🥰

I would love for you guys to react to RM's fashion neurosis interview please!

oh the last ep is here....

Louder than bombs + clip reaction please

What a journey it has been for you guys. 🙂 hopefully you guys now watch the official documentaries from them.

I can really really recommend the bts docu on Disney+ I would love if you watch it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Love you guys❤

there episode 21 bonus and deleted scene too fyi, anyway thank u 💜

The last episode—it's sad😞I love it🤍

Aww I just rewatched this last weekend and my sleep tracker noted the entire duration as me having a nap 😂 I was probably very relaxed while watching this episode. 🥹 I still wish they would continue this, and it's been years. But even tho it was dropped, Magic Shop was the best unofficial ending for this docuseries.

My weekly dose is here 😍
