Guys, we FINALLY started watching The Rise of Bangtan and we have a whole new level of respect for the boys - wow! 🤩 It's so crazy to see the difference between the boys then and now - their style, how they look, and even their dancing! 🤯 One thing we found so inspiring is their dedication and belief in themselves - they always knew they were going to be something big! What did you guys think when you first saw Rise of Bangtan (or any of the content used)? 👀

i remember watching the rise of bangtan when it first started coming out (back then i was already an army for years) and it made me feel emotional in a way. revisiting the content i already saw in this format made me appreciate their journey even more and i felt super proud of how far they came. glad you're checking this out, the series give a great insight not only into bts but overall kpop industry and it shows how bts stands out. enjoy the journey <3

Omg so glad you guys started watching Rise of Bangtan! Such a good documentary. Referring to your trainee period comment, yes BTS did go through the trainee period just like normal idols do. They each trained for 1-3 years (Jimin being on the shorter end of that period and RM having the longest training period since he joined the company first). And yes they definitely were part of a larger trainee pool and ended up debuting as 7 members. The lineup kept on changing in their pre-debut days, as it usually does with most kpop groups. So while Suga won second place, it has been claimed that i11evn (who won first place) left because the direction that they were taking BTS was not for him (idk how true that is but that's what most people claim happened since he was very much focused on underground rap at that time and BTS was supposed to become a kpop idol group). V was actually kept as a "secret" member until they debuted as sort of a wild card so to speak. He was there just lingering in the background.

I'm really happy you are starting this series as you'll see all the hard work, struggles, hardships they went through to get where they are now. It's great how Aneesa (the creator of this docu-series) shows the difference between the other Kpop companies and how they treat their trainees/idols compared to Big Hit. The guys were given freedom to produce and had artistic freedoms and they didn't have as strict rules as other companies. Don't get me wrong, they did have rules, Jin said all he ate was chicken breasts for months so he could stay a certain weight, but it wasn't as bad as the big 3 idol companies. Please note that the chapters also have bonus and deleted episodes which are funny to watch! After you finish this maybe you can start the documentaries made by BTS: Burn the Stage, Bring the Soul, and Break the Silence ! You'll never run out of content with BTS!

Yes! You absolutely can have a double bias!! You can have as many bias as it suits you but overall be OT7. I am a Suga/V bias but I love and support all 7 members fully! You’ll be surprised how often different members sneak in and be a bias wrecker at different times 😂. Also, this episode was an introduction to how kpop came about, how it works, and of course the creation of BTS, all of the rest of the episodes will be more BTS centered. I must say, this series is amazing and Aeneas and her team did a phenomenal job on all episodes. As someone else mentioned, there are deleted scenes and bonus content for each episode. By the way, there is an MV for the song they performed We are bulletproof pt. 2. Also, you are correct, V was a hidden member until debut so he wasn’t featured in this episode however the part of the video where you were looking for him among the members, he was actually standing in the corner just out of the cameras view 😂. Great traction! I’m so grateful you both absorb so much of the content being presented and actually discuss it…you’re definitely Army!! Borahae!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜Apobangpo! (Army forever, BTS forever)

Hi guys, Jimin was actually the last member to join BTS. I believe his training period was only 6-9 months long. I love that your reacting to this series as it is done so well. The guys will all be back from military service in June. Not sure how long it will be before they have a comeback, but I hope they take some time to themselves to get reacclimated. Good luck trying to get concert tickets. Even back in 2019 it was like the Hunger Games to get tickets and they have grown exponentially since then. I've seen them once live and they were AMAZING. So sad as I was supposed to see them two more times, but the pandemic struck. I'm hoping to get tickets when they come back. Love your reactions!

Few people realizes that V is not on the first vlogs, but you guys noticed!💜 yea V was hidden until debut

Fernanda

You should react to more Blackpink, and watch their netflix documentary that show more of their trainee process

Great reaction. Please make the captions bigger So the scouting thing is pretty much the same as the western world. Talent agencies will hold big auditions with thousands of people Jimin and V were found that way. They were the only people who made it through in their separate auditions out of thousands. Then they will also hold competitions like Suga where even though he placed second his talent was still noticed by people at the agency. So they still scouted him to become a producer but was later ask to join BTS. Similar to Jk but JK was on Korean music competition. He didn’t win but people were still watching and 7 agencies contacted him Then there’s where they just go around looking for good looking people. It can be at malls or anywhere a scouting agent sees a person who looks amazing Jin was scouted twice by just walking on the street. And they trained him up. Ashton Kutcher was also scouted like this in a mall. This actually happens a lot. So the training system with BTS is different than other agencies. They had a bit more freedom but it was still a brutal experience. They all definitely struggled through it.

I feel like my other comment was too long so I’m gonna finish it off here lol But Yes BTS also trained with a lot of other people and the line up was different throughout 2010-2013 till they found the right 7. The group was built around RM and I believe Jimin was the determining factor of if they were going straight hip hop or idol group. Jimin was the final member and was threatened with being cut alot. Keep in mind Jimin only trained for less than a year while the other members had built bonds by then. But you will see a rapper name Supreme boy pop on alot of BTS songs. He was gonna be in BTS but decided not to debut and became a producer for Big hit instead. It’s alot to it and forming groups. But even if some trainees don’t make it in the group they still have chances to make it in another group or they can use their talents in other areas. And yes V was the surprise/bonus member. He was there longer than Jimin. I won’t go too much into it because it will be explained in the next episode

YAAAAAS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR DOCU VIDEOOOOOOOOOSSSS!!

I love the Rise of Bangtan series, I think it's a fantastic and very comprehensive compilation of the content BTS has released over the years and it really follows their journey from the start to late 2018 (unfortunately Aneesa, the original creator of the series, wasn't able to complete it but it has 21 episodes plus bonus scenes and deleted scenes for each episode that was created). They do also have company-made documentaries: BTS Monuments Beyond The Stars (docu-series only) on Disney+ - it covers their 10 years from 2013 up to Jin going into military service so has footage from earlier docs and later footage that you won't see in RoB. Burn The Stage follows their Wings Tour in 2017 and is available on YouTube Premium in both film and series formats. Bring the Soul and Break the Silence follows their Love Yourself tours across 2018/19 are available on Kocowa+ here in the UK. They both have film and series formats and you'll see clips from some of these docos in later episodes of RoB.

For future Rise of Bangtan reactions, could you please make the screen a little bit bigger? They often have blurbs on the side / corners so when the screen is quite small its harder to follow along. Enjoying your content regardless, I appreciate how much attention you pay to the details!

I never saw biases as favourites. I think its just who you connect to! And yes Anna your face whenever you brought Jin up 😂

38:05 - to answer your questions, yes BTS members had to go through the training period because not all of them were signed immediately as BTS members - only Namjoon was signed as a member basically straight away, whereas the others were signed as trainees to BigHit company before gradually being confirmed as members over time (the rapline was confirmed first, the vocal line a bit later on with Jimin being the last one to join as a trainee). There is an INCREDIBLY LONG but comprehensive set of posts on Reddit that actually outline the BTS pre-debut history - who joined when, what happened, based on posts and other official content, although there are some details that ARMY still don't for sure because pre-debut (especially pre-2013) wasn't as comprehensively documented as post-debut. I encourage all ARMY who are curious about the history / formation of the team to read, its very detailed.! https://www.reddit.com/r/bangtan/comments/bi521g/bts_predebut_history_20102013_part_1/ https://www.reddit.com/r/bangtan/comments/bidq1n/bts_predebut_history_20102013_part_2/ https://www.reddit.com/r/bangtan/comments/bk33os/bts_predebut_history_20102013_part_3/

V was kept hidden. Initially people thought there were only 6 members, but indeed there were 7. Supposedly, Big Hit were afraid he would be poached by another company so kept him as a secret weapon. (Don't know if this is actually true, but it's a great story.)😆

I love your reactions so I subscribed right away!!! Please make a solo music reactions too!!! I suggest (my personal fave): RM-Wild Flower Jin- Running Wild JHope- On the Street Suga- Daechwita Jimin- Who V- Love Me Again Jungkook- Standing Next To You Please!!!! I just feel like you have a lot of contents to catch up on and they are coming back to release new songs. LOL

Also I suggest react on both official MV and live performances. 💜 You would understand how different they are individually and it is like watching avengers all together in one group. LOL

This is such a good documentary 😭 were you keeping up with the vlogs too ? If I’m not mistaken they do them on weverse right ?

The Vibe Check
>>170078691

So if I get this right the auditions and scouting were to join the trainee group for big hit ? And then afterwards the 7 of them were picked from that pool ? Am I correct in my assumption ?

The Vibe Check
>>170080693

Wow the freedom part is something we actually took because I’m sure it allowed them to express themselves through their music a lot better !!!

The Vibe Check
>>170092694

First off, thanks so much for your comment 😊 and yeah it was quite a surprise when we realised that V wasn’t in the video 😂 I wonder why the kept him a surprise ? Was he already big and they wanted a boost for the group or was it just to shock the audience ?

The Vibe Check
>>170102657

I definitely think they should take some time off to relax too, they honestly deserve it after all the hard work they’ve put in. We’re definitely excited about hearing any of their new projects and we’ll be at the concert 😂 don’t worry 🤣🤣

kika

Oh my gosh, what a great reaction!!! I love the time you two spend on the little details. I had the same reaction when the journalist compared idol training to football academies. It doesn't make the bullying and harassment within the system okay, but it explains the existence of that system. I think people already answered your questions about the training period and V. But I loved seeing you all be low-key offended that V wasn't in there 😂😂😂 me too when I first watched!!!! Hahahaha Seeing this first ep again reminds me of how much their fashion and style has grown. I remember when I first saw their initial fashion, I found it cringe for multiple reasons. Seeing their evolution was gratifying.

I'm late to watching this, so I'm sure people have already told you... but never believe the members when they talk about their ages. 😂 In Korea they count age differently. In general, always subtract one to two years from whatever they say. The most accurate is to use their birthdates and calculate. So, when Jungkook said he was 16 in February 2013, he was actually 15. (2013 minus his birth year 1997, minus 1 because his birthday is in September.) Here are their birthdays: Namjoon: September 12, 1994 Jin: December 4, 1992 Yoongi: March 9, 1993 Hobi: February 18, 1994 Jimin: October 13, 1995 Tae: December 30, 1994 Jungkook: September 1, 1997

Yeah we will make sure to make the video bigger 😊 and thanks for the explanation 🙌🏿 it’s crazy how some of them didn’t even go to an audition to be scouted 🤯

kim__seohyeon

hii, i love ur reactions!! bts have their yet to come concert on amazon prime and their permission to dance LA concert on disney+ (incase you ever wanted to react to a full concert!!)

Deborah Camara Kaplan

Lovely reaction as usual 💜🫰🏻I’m definitely first and foremost OT7, but my Utt - ultimatum Bias V, Bias Jin, Bias wrecker JHope

TJ Braille

Hello!!! I'm late to watching this video but I loved the reaction! Being double biased is definitely a thing, haha. It often happens when your love for your bias wrecker grows so much that you don't even want to call them your wrecker anymore, you just start to think of them as another bias. That's what happened to me, Jimin has always been my bias and JK was my wrecker, but now I'm Jimin and Jungkook double biased. J Hope is my wrecker now :)

Emily V8

Hi guys, I love ur reactions but I also suggest watching the MV songs that are featured in these episodes like BTS - No more dream MV and BTS - Bulletproof pt2 MV
