The other difficult thing about the plagiarism thing is bts have so many enemies in their industry, fan enemies and industry enemies and media enemies or just people who want to see them crash or want the clicks and the dramatic story...so anytime you are under a microscope like that by people who want to nitpick, there is going to be something for them to find and spin negatively, and/or you would go crazy trying to do everything perfectly to avoid their criticisms. but the more articles of obviously not fair or accurate criticisms out there, the more the people who want to believe the worst of them will absorb that 'chatter' and only take in the headlines or the number of articles and spread the negative impression, and no matter how unfair or inaccurate those articles are, people will subconsciously or consciously form an idea in their head that 'where there is smoke there is fire'. to this day you have people who really believe they plagiarized habitually or blatantly or uniquely for their industry when the accusations are about small, debatable things like clothes/concepts/hair colors or samples that were sold fairly to multiple people or used legally and honestly, but the articles spin it negatively or report on what haters are saying as if it is a common opinion of experts or the general public, and the impression gets spread that there is legitimacy to the accusation even among well-meaning fans or people.
unfortunately kmedia is really notorious for this, even for anti-fans or industry enemies paying for many small outlets to repeat and publish repeats and spins of shady source information, so that there is an impression of legitimacy, but when you try to trace the source and think for yourself, you see there is a negative bias or motive behind the conversation to start with, or that the original facts have been lost or exaggerated in a game of telephone, bad translations, deep fakes, claiming an anonymous source or random twitter hater as a legitimate source or a more authoritative or representative opinion than it actually is or would be if the articles were actually fair. Min Heejin, who has been caught spreading smear campaigns before, even has said that 'all we need is a headline' so even if the articles are debunked by fans or the news outlets themselves, or the target of the negative info...or if the source is found and sued for defamation or takes the articles down, it doesn't end up making as much of an impression as the initial drama and fervor that a viral headline repeated and spread as fact does in peoples minds...the damage is already done on the reputation of the subjects at that point. so RM had a good idea to apologize but it also got used against him there, he probably honestly thought it was possible that he mistakenly didn't credit a source or accidentally was too influenced by something else...that is actually easy to do in art but usually there is enough respect for the medium to understand the heart or intention of the artists, but the fact he apologized at all is taken as admission of guilt by people who don't really pay attention to the actual facts, or by reactionary haters or drama-seekers and headline readers, and article writers who want the clicks, and the people who want to see successful or popular or positive people crash or be proven to be liars or have a scandal, and the people who want the attention or drama for smearing them, and the people who are easily swayed and vulnerable to the whims of commenters on the internet, will then accept into their own view of the guys whatever negative things are being spread...because people don't want to be naive or don't want to be fools sometimes they jump way too quickly toward believing any negative thing...or people want to believe the negative thing because they think it is amusing or they are bitter or angry or jealous or already biased. it is true that people can also have fan goggles and give too much benefit of the doubt too, but that doesn't mean we should all jump to believing any and all negativity about them without examining sources, motives, facts, and trusting our own gut and impressions of years of behavior from the guys before trusting some shady websites or translations or anonymous or bias 'sources' just because it is published a lot or spread as 'fact' by what can seem like a lot of people...especially knowing how people want to see the downfall and drama of celebrities or seemingly kind or positive figures not being who they claim to be...when people get so famous, there are always those who want clout from bringing them down, want to break the 'scandal', want to mess with the fanbase or them for engagement or a reaction, or want to believe every negative thing either bc they are distrustful, jaded, or looking for drama and a story or the power trip of claiming to have seen right through them/'entertainment' of the downward spiral story, a money motivation, or because they just like the attention and chaos.
you guys need to react to the BTS BU UNIVERSE explanation by XCeleste..Then after that.. Watch the K-drama Begin ≠ Youth, which is a k-drama inspired by that storyline..OR..OR..You can directly go to the k-drama, but still make sure to see which actor is playing which member beforehand for extra flair
Four months to go! Almost 3! Can't believe we are finally already here! Btw, guys, there's some content they used to do when they had comebacks that is was kinda like a live and some of them (you have some clips on the docuseries), were so funny and good. I recommend you to watch them whenever you have time. In particular the DNA one was so good. Just because there also some info there that I think you don't know like Jin showed his pets etc....
Here there is a link of the DNA one: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x83bh42
it’s not ten months, they will reunite in june, we are only days away from it being less than four months away
huh I wonder why this one specifically got blocked but not the others - thanks for uploading it for free anyways! :)
This episode and the next one always gives a hard time on YouTube and gets blocked, which is weird cause the video is on YouTube but a reaction gets blocked...maybe because of all the documentary footage and stuff
i think others have mentioned this already but the audio in your videos are really low, to the point that I have to turn up my volume to the max in order to hear you guys properly!
steph your hair is so pretty!! i also love consuming korean/asian content about hair, makeup and skin care, they always have the most useful tips
We don't even have to wait for 2026, all of the members will be back this year!! 2025 is the Year of BTS
Perfect timing guys today is hobi's birthday💜
Hey guys, (first of all, much love for posting this here for free. I expected nothing less from you 2) I wanted to ask if you guys have recently changed your audio settings when uploading to Patreon. I've noticed the audio has been very low, even when I set the volume to 100, for the last few videos of yours that I've watched (maybe been a week or 2 now). When I go to other creators' Patreon videos, I'm not having the same issue, so I figured I'd ask.
Thank you guys... I love your reactions 💜 Also. Stephanie you look so beautiful 💖
Yay, this was great! Thank you both!💜🫶💜
I don't know why but it makes me so happy when the boys are clapping and Wes is doing his little claps as well. And Steph, you look beautiful, as always.
A little side info, Hobi’s mom was actually at the concert and saw him perform that song for her 💜 Also, Steph you look GORGEOUS!!!
Thank you so much for this. I really enjoy your reactions to the rise of Bangtan. You understand the guys and the struggles. Yes it's almost June and all the guys will be back. Borahae 💜🇿🇦
Omgg i love watching rise of bangtan with u guys the only reason i didnt complete it cuz i wanted to watch it with yall
ha just from the start i was going to comment how your hair looks great in this vid. and now just got to the part where you discussed doing ur hair kstyle lol. but kudos, i woulda messed it up if i had to cut it.
also there is deleted scenes of each eps which are really funny
Thank you for posting it here for free, you guys are probably my favorite channel to watch for bts content💜
42:55 That's why I'm always commenting about the Deleted Scenes and Bonus Content cause it's where these funny scenes are from, and there's even more there!! Along with some new info that are not put in the official episode, I hope someday you'll watch it!! Definitely better than watching some fan-made compilations ngl lol
Thank you for posting it for free 💜
(Long comment incoming…sorry!) The apology he released for plagiarism was due to a line in a feature he did on Primary’s “U”. It involves a particular line that people noticed was the same as a lyric in another artists song. The line was a quote from a poem, which had also been quoted in the other artists song. So it wasn’t even an original lyric by the other artist!! He released an apology anyway explaining that he reads books, poetry, watches movies etc and takes inspiration from them. He said that he writes things in his notes and comes back to them when working on music, but that he would be careful with that from now on. Due to him apologising on this occasion, people believed that they could claim plagiarism for EVERYTHING namjoon wrote, even if the claimed ‘original’ was in no way similar to namjoon’s lyrics. Their thought was that if he had already apologised for ‘plagiarism’ once, it makes future claims more believable so they could get away with it. Ultimately, a lot of it comes down to people being unhappy that bts were/are succeeding more than themselves or their favourite artists, and they want some huge scandal to stop their careers. Just another reason bts always show their utmost thanks an appreciation for army, as we don’t allow that to happen.
8:55 lol and your hair looks amazing btw, I was wondering what was different about it, but the bangs fits you perfectly!!
Thank you!!
Guys do check out video essays from Boracity Magazine channel. Would love to watch your reactions on it
We’ll have to! We loved the ones we’ve watched so far!
Also, just a question, I noticed you started a new show (unrelated to BTS) today, so I wonder if you'll still post 2019 Seasons greetings today??
Yes! Its coming!
Thank you for posting for free for everyone to watch!! You guys are amazing, other channels would just post it behind a paywall just because it got blocked, that's why I'll always enjoy you guys!! 💜
