We’re slowly making our way through The Rise of Bangtan! Today, we present you with our reaction to Chapter 3: House of Cards.

This episode was another fantastic one! We get a glimpse into how the members dealt early on with the conflict (in the eyes of some) between being Hip-Hop artists and Idols. We also learn quite a bit about the “comeback,” and just how rare it is for idol groups to remain standing and avoid disbandment after their debut. We hope you sit back, relax and enjoy your early access to this episode! BORAHAE!!

Tell me why I've been looking forward to this all day :) it's because you two really are a shining light on a gloomy day. 'Bulletproof is a mindset' is so absolutely right, and I think the reason armys are found by BTS is because they are needing a little more strength, a little push towards happiness or understanding. BTS finds you when you need them, and you may need them for their strength, their joy or their comfort. What I always say the thing I'm most thankful for that BTS has gifted me is army, army is everything, we lift each other up and make true friends even if we've always been lonely. watching the end of your reaction now and yes, once you're army long enough you recognize them from their backs, their silhouettes, their laughs, even their hands are very distinct but that takes a lot of content before you're in that deep 😂

Harley

Omg you guys discovered the Teaser videos for their MVs! These are so iconic because a lot of them give a little more depth to certain parts of their MVs and also the mixing on the songs are sometimes a little different so armys like to joke that we can't ever trust the teasers lol definitely check them out before you watch some of the other MVs some of them are just spectacular

dulseokbangtan

You guys asked what BTS' #1 dance practice is, and I'm sure every ARMY would agree when I say it's the 2019 MMA Dionysus practice.🔥 There's no debating it. https://youtu.be/bccr1BwNI0Y

This episode made me cry a lot. Seen kids suffer like this and considering suicide as the only option is so scarry and sad to me. I think thats why I love bts, they gave those teens that where struggling a voice. They never fail making me feel save, and heard. They make me smile eventho my day was absolute crab and they make me cry whenever they cry. I feel a deep emocional connection with them. And I know that whenever I need them they are with me. Love you guys♡ borahae ♡♡♡

luciaaarm_

Also jared we now know that your current bias is rm, therefore I would recomend reacting to "monster","do you" and "persona" This three songs are my fav of him, and I think you would like them too. Please take this comment in consediration.

luciaaarm_

And before I forget, please react to "bts being extra af in america 2018" its hella funny, I really think you guys would enjoy some bts funny and caotic moments :)))

Alishea

I had such a crazy day today I can't wait to sit back and relax and enjoy watching ep.3 with you guys 😭💜 EDIT: I forgot how emotional this chapter was and I cried over 3 times 😭 I agree with everything you both said about RM. Honestly your reactions and in-depth research are what drew me to you both. You do an excellent job of pausing and discussing what your thoughts are and it shows how well you understand where the members are coming from, it's wholesome to see because we rarely get people like you who really appreciate BTS for who they are and us as fans.

Martine Maurer

So good to watch the whole story of BTS with you all over again. In every video you made up until now I can always discover something new. For Army it's really nice to see how much interest you have to get to know the group (the members, how they work, what they have been through) and how deep your research is going, how you try to understand everything that's new to you... Thank you for your amazing work! 보라해 💜

Nahomi Saldana

Hey, I’m a new subscriber here & have never joined anyone’s patreon before but watching your guys’ vid are totally worth the money. I just wanted to ask if you’ll be reacting to their albums anytime soon?

Andre'u

Okay my day is complete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💜

Flip9880

Another great video! I'm so glad I joined your patreon...I look forward to all the videos you guys post. Thank you for all your hard work!

Keindra

I was waiting for this like crazy, thank you so much for your reaction.

Precious

This was really a long awaited video. I’m so glad you decided to view Rise of Bangtan. I’ve watched this series in its entirety already, but watching it with you is like watching it through new eyes, you guys are incredible! I love the way that you chose to listen to the music of each episode, which allows you to listen to their music chronologically and dig deeper into the meaning of their music while also watching dance practices and live performances is just genius. I’m so happy to know you and to be a part of your journey. Borahae

Angie7

You made a wise choice...I’ve been an Army since 2019 and started watching everything BTS related...I have seen a lot of different reactors but none are as genuine and real as Jared and Jordan...you can tell they are as affected by BTS as the rest of us and it is heartfelt which makes it very much worth the money...to me anyways..I want real conversations and experiences and not someone wanting clicks...They will be reacting to everything but they they are just getting into it and everyone is telling them to watch this or that and let’s face it in this huge rabbit hole there’s a million different directions to go ..they just have to do it at their pace and take in suggestions ...they started rise of bangtang to try to get in order the way everything has gone down....here we are in 2022....I don’t know if any of us will ever catch up...glad to see so many joining this group...I love the creators and commenters each brings ideas and perspectives that might otherwise not be seen...so glad to meet you 💜💜💜

Angie7

I second third and fourth this idea💜💜

Miituaine Ka

Sending love to Wolffie and the innocent people in Ukraine... BORAHAE 💜💜🌌🌠

OH MY GOD YOURE ABOUT TO HAVE A TASTE OF THE CYPHERS

Angie7

I’ve also been thinking a lot about and trying to understand the connection between BTS and Army and how this happened because at my age it just doesn’t make sense....but a thought popped in ...It’s like wandering around in life thinking NOONE understands or is going through what I am....and BTS is like counselors inviting you to a support group and when you get the open mind it’s like a door opens and on the other side is Army ...thousands of people saying come in we understand...we are here we will stand together and it all started because BTS needed that strength as well and reached out to Army... Jungkook said he wanted to be a singer that we could be proud and not embarrassed of....I have a lot of people that snicker when profess that I listen and love BTS...I’d rather lose them then this!💜💜💜🙏💜🙏Always here for anyone needing it!

Dee

The way my mood changes when I get a notification from this channel, I've watched a lot of reactions but you guys are the only ones that convince me to have a patreon account, I enjoy your content so much. Can't wait for you to react to the cyphers. All the love from Honduras!

Andredayyy

There is a wonderful tiktok page I follow called i_have_no_think_ BTS is mental health And it is so good. And there are so many channels all about bts and Army and positivity and you guys would really like them. Johnreeveslive is one. Check em out

dulseokbangtan

I love Seoul and forever rain from mono

dulseokbangtan

No one can ever say that they had everything handed to them. Even after their American debut they were still being outsold by other idol groups. ARMY works hard to make sure our boys' efforts don't go to waste. We vote, buy and stream so they never have to go back to these old days.

dulseokbangtan

Yess and they have to do the medley performance

Christina

"Pretty soon we'll be telling them apart from their back". This is is no joke! I'm sure many ARMYs can relate... I'll be watching a Bangtan Bomb or an episode of Run and there'll be a member off in the background somewhere wearing baggy clothing and a hat, facing away from the camera, and I can with 90% accuracy say which member it is 😂 Anyways, love your reactions, wishing you much happiness! And never be sorry for pausing!!! We love pausing, love hearing your thoughts in the moment.

dulseokbangtan

Yes Katherine, the ON dance practice with all the drums and the extra dance break🔥

Amani ○°●•7

..nevermind the music critic being a misogynist Ahole about "manly macho" no makeup hiphop... discounting western hip hop artists Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliott, Eve, Mary J Blige, TLC, Queen Latifah to name a few ... 1. If you can't tell that clip infuriates me 2. You are approaching in your journey ... discovery of the infamous cyphers The rapline is how BTS found me. I'm fortunate I'm inlove Forever 🌌🌌🖤💜💫 Thanks J&j .. Tues Thursdays and Saturdays are my favorite days of the week 💜💜💜💜

leat

BTS often talk about how seeing their past self on camera, are making them cringe because they were to eager. but for us it reflects how each of us were at that age and to seeing them make their dream come true and grow before our eyes makes us proud of how much they have done. and the fact that army made that happen for them makes us proud of ourselves too and want to help them more. and it also make us realise what we can do for others and for ourselves. it´s truly beautiful. no other fandom are able to feel this i can´t imagine that it exist.

leat

yes john reeves do interviews of other reactors too and donate money for charity i think he would love to interview you. he has a bright personality and i think you will like him

Star293

Now you guys are ready for the cyphers! Before you move on, you've got to listen to Cyphers 1 & 2, that Rm, J Hope and Suga dropped. You know how you were saying that RM was so calm and composed? Well they destroyed all these haters in their music....in addition to the Cyphers, RM also spoke to all of them in his solo songs Joke and Monster, and Suga in his solo song Agust D. Have fun listening to them and seeing them kill the haters with their bars!

Kathy⁷

This was another great episode. It feels like you guys are really starting to get it. You're starting to fully understand and appreciate why BTS have so many dedicated followers and what it really means to be Army. The guys have gone through struggle after struggle and always fought their way through and Army have been right there with them. Even to this day they still face mistreatment and hardships. Army is very protective of the members because of all these hardships. However, this protective feeling works both ways. BTS always have Armys backs and defend us whenever anyone ridicules us. This mutual respect, admiration and protectiveness is what makes being an Army so different. They make sure that their fans are never forgotten or cast aside, they make every effort to connect with us and show their gratitude and support, it feels like a mutual relationship, rather than simply a fan who's "clicked subscribe on Spotify." There's a wonderful quote by Suga saying "Rather than pushing BTS from the back, BTS are holding hands with ARMY and climbing up together." I really feel that this is what the Rise of Bangtan series is showing and I'm loving seeing your reactions and seeing you fall further and further into Army. Can't wait for the next one! Borahae!

dulseokbangtan

There are multiple photoshoots of the members' silhouettes and we can easily tell them apart, even their hair lool ARMYs are nothing to play with.

Uyen-Vy

Since you guys are watching the boys that are back from 2013, I think it’s going to be more fun if you reacts to “Rookie King” eps. It is the show that they are playing game and having some fun together 💜💜💜 *sorry about the grammar*

Sabrina K

They ain't ready for BTS's clapback to their haters LOL

Viral MajicJ

Okay now you can react to there Cyphers! Because you now have a lil background about how they were bashed for being idols doing hip pop. Can’t wait mane

Sabrina K

RM has been and is literally such an astounding leader, there couldn't be anyone better. For example, RM would get hate letters about the group and he wouldn't let the other members know about this and instead tell them something positive, while enduring all the hate himself and keep it pushing. The mental strength that he had is just ...amazing to say the least. You guys will eventually get to their cyphers (my favorites are 2-4), it is 100% savage and basically just a whole clapback to their haters- no sugar coating what so ever. hehehe

Heather ⁷

I read somewhere (mind has gone blank) that the rapper with the glasses (his name sounds like febreze) and the music critic have back tracked on the comments that they made to RM & SUGA at that time and both are now saying BTS are great, but the kicker for them is RM, SUGA and the rest of BTS won't have anything to do with them.

Kate

Your what if made me think hard. If I was unable to connect with BTS and ARMY I think I would have lost a lot of the passion I have for spreading kindness and love. I would probably still be floating in world thinking the worst of humanity. But with ARMY and BTS we can feel and see there is hope- good people that care do exist in this world. We can be different in our countries, languages and cultures and still care and love each other.

Kyungsook Baik

I’m so happy to know you and to be a part of your journey. I enjoy your content so much. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Freek Stap

Cypher 1 and 2 incoming... (please lol!)

Anjola

Heyo, it feels like it’s been a while since I commented 🫢. Been looking forward to seeing your reaction to episode 3 so you could get some more insight on the context of what N.O and even No more dream are based on. It’s very easy to look at these things through a western lens but I definitely think it’s important when reacting to cultures that are foreign to you, to consider the different contexts behind them. You’ll see something similar with a song called Baepsae(or silver spoon), that sometimes explanation videos are necessary for some songs to understand them a bit better. Anyways great reaction as always but just a note. When you see Korean words with ‘eo’ in them like chuseok or seokjin (Jin’s full name) or hoseok (jhope’s real name). It’s actually pronounced as ‘uh’ like in duck, ball, call etc. It’s definitely confusing for people who aren’t familiar with Korean names so I’m just letting you know for the future. Also for the next episode you should react to Boy in luv and maybe even get started on the Cyphers. Cypher 1 is on ORUL82 and Cypher 2 is on the next album called Skool luv affair, so you might want to consider getting started on those. I also don’t know if you’re planning to do full album reactions to the ones you’ve covered on the rise of bangtan. There are still so many great songs on both 2 Cool 4 Skool and ORUL82 so it would be cool for you to get to those. Borahae💜💜

Freek Stap

Eventhough I agree with your statement and I cant wait for them to see it, but in my opinion I think it's better for them (and us ARMYs) to wait before doing those videos. I think the reaction would be better if they catch up with older songs and other MMA reactions from previous years first. MMA2019 is THE best performance I've ever seen, so IMO its better if they have full context. It's also more fun if they watch the MMA2019 performance first before watching the dance practice so they still have the surprise factor

dulseokbangtan

They jump back and forth so it won'tbe an issue, not everything has to be done in chronological order. Its such an amazing performance they'll appreciate the dance practice just fine.💜

Sabrina K

yeah hopefully they do because episode 4 spoils!

Clau

Why are people close-minded? This question really got me thinking. I believe they exist because of the fear of something that is new and different. Human beings are social animals who always try to be accepted by society, so when they see something that's not common, they immediately reject it. I was also thinking about mental health and how important it is to have someone to talk to about our feelings and deep thoughts with, to normalize being sensitive and not be afraid to ask for help. And thanks to BTS, fans all over the world are taking care of themselves and have higher self-esteem. I remember two years ago, I was feeling horrible. I didn't have the energy to do anything, and my family environment was so toxic, full of fights and bad energy. At that time, I used to think that everything was my fault, and that all the problems would end if I just disappeared. BTS's songs were my only company, and their lyrics made me realize that I needed to do something to improve, that I needed to "give me the best of me." So, I finally told my mom what I was going through. We both cried that day, and thanks to being brave enough to say that I wasn't feeling well. Now I can say that I'm healthy and happy. So please, if you are feeling blue, if you feel like you want to quit, find someone to talk to and ask for help. You are worthy and beautiful inside and out. ARMY BORAHAE! 💜

DanielleM

Loved this, thank you both!

SB

Great job fellas!! ( as usual)

Aleetha

Thank you for the amazing reaction as always, you’ve become one of my favourite reactors and so excited to see more. Since you have reacted to both N.O and we are bulletproof pt.2, if you’d like to do something different, Bts performed both of these songs at the 2019 MAMA awards!! Here’s the link https://youtu.be/gdrO-iU3Glg

Chris Lovett

Yes! I’m with all who are excited about the Cyphers. Before getting to episode 4, to keep from being really spoiled, you should do at minimum Cypher 2 (well, 1&2, to keep them in order to see their growth). The title song for this period, though, is Boy in Luv. It’s covered, but I think Cypher 2 is definitely a must before the episode. When talking about his writing, Yoongi (Suga) says he has never really called anyone out, he just sets traps. When discussing the rap line, ARMY always falls in line and repeats him…until someone brings up Cypher 2. I’ll admit, neither Yoongi nor NamJoon (RM) called names. But there’s no need to when you are as descriptive and talented with your words as they are. One thing you will learn about the guys is that while they are extremely respectful, there will be a response. Just wait for the next album, mix-tape, single. They use their music to express their voice. Anyway, I’m excited about how you have chosen to approach your BTS journey. Isn’t it amazing how one second Jin and JK look like twins, then it feels like a few moments later you are asking yourself how did you EVER confuse them before? Yes, you will soon be able to tell them apart by voice (whether singing/rapping/talking). I look forward to sharing that moment with you! Borahae 💜

Jessica Sanabria

I can’t get over bulletproof is a mindset and there’s a set of two great minds right there saying it 🤯

SouthernFox

Omg, I just started watching and you already made me so emotional, I can't even say how much I'm thankful to you, to everything that you doing and for bringing up to social media things that most of people forgetting about, about what happens in my country, it's a nightmare here everyday. But as I said, I'm still alive and watching BTS content and your reactions it's like new breath of fresh air every time. I'm almost crying right now, but it's all of how much I'm thankful to you guys, I will be saying it over and over again, thank you and I really purple you💜💜💜 with a big, BIG love from Ukraine🇺🇦

Cheryl ⁷ Lambert

It’s another wonderful experience watching you both and BTS. I can’t help expecting the song “House of Cards” a vocal line favourite when I see the title and expect “DNA” to play when I hear the intro to each chapter. Everyone talks about the “Bulletproof “ part of BTS but not the “ Boy Scouts” part of their name. I can’t even to begin to imagine living every day having to be PERFECT! You have to look perfect, be humble, be grateful, work hard, practice hard, live away from family and friends, not openly date or party etc. They started as teenagers and are now grown men but the core of who they are has never changed. I love that they are so open about their feelings, they cry often and I watch content and cry with them. My heart breaks every time I hear them say we will work harder, do more, give more to ARMYS when they have already given us everything they have and then some. I wish I had discovered them before last summer but as they say, you find BTS when you need them most and that’s certainly true of me. When I see them working so hard, I know I can get through another day of very intense and painful physio therapy (after shattering my wrist and elbow 6 1/2 months ago) and then I see MoonWolfies’ letter from Ukraine 🇺🇦 and I think, hey I’ve got nothing to complain about. You guys are the best, Thank you both and a very (few hours early) HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥳 x 2 🤗💜💜🇨🇦

Laurie Brennan⁷

I was thinking that....ARMY can tell them apart by an eyebrow, a baby finger or a laugh after a while.

Laurie Brennan⁷

Angie, your comment hit the nail on the head. As ARMY we finally feel understood and connected to something much bigger than ourselves. Their music and performance (although unbelievable) is just a fraction of the equation.

Laurie Brennan⁷

Yes I have heard it said that RM would mistranslate some of the hate to the guys in a positive way so they wouldn't be aware of just how much hate there was. Imagine being RM...having the success of the company and the group mostly on his shoulders and still taking the bulk of the hate upon himself (graciously) while trying to protect the other members....all while still being a kid.

Laurie Brennan⁷

I can't imagine what you are going through (and have been through), but I wanted to extend some love and positivity your way. I'm happy that BTS continues to give your some happiness and strength through it all. Borahae🇨🇦💜

SouthernFox

I'm very thankful to all the Army who supports us all around the world, my english is not that perfect to describe how much I'm thankful🙏💜 But just wanted to say I purple you and BTS from the bottom of my purple Heart💜 with love from Ukraine 💙💛

Melissa R.A

Omggg I would love some bloopers from you guys 🤣 I cannot wait until you guys get to the 2022 era of BTS 🤣 But I like this schedule. Watching the songs or anything related to the next episode and then watching the episode. That's a good strategy. I myself have not watched The Rise of Bangtan and the end of Episode 3 is like hanging on a cliffhanger! I want to watch Episode 4 already! But I'll patiently wait to watch it with you. As always, brilliant reaction and thank you! 💜

Alicia

💜💜💜💜💜

SouthernFox

Thank you so much 💜💜💜 comments like this really helping to see that we are not forgotten, purple you💜

Nina

Yes very slowly..😅

Butterful

omg the deleted scenes for this episode are wild 😂😂 wouldn't show them to a non-army probably so guys prepare yourselves? also let's remember they were kids back then... I'm also excited to see your random reactions to their newer stuff in the future! or their vlogs at billboard, grammys and stuff :) love your reactions!

PamTan

My response to why are people close-minded? Is just because of ignorance. Not knowing that other realities and experiences exist is what make you think it all has to be your way. After living in so many countries with different cultures I was able to open my mind and understand so many things about people. I just wanted to point out that you are missing all the mellow songs from each album so far (school trilogy) that are a must-watch/hear! Like from 2cool4skool, live performance Korean version https://youtu.be/QRBBO5tp7XY Japanese version https://youtu.be/hJot9iWd3rM Just one day from Skool Luv Affair live performances Korean version https://youtu.be/Jd0bqyPi3_c, Japanese version https://youtu.be/cXV1LVQk8Vs

Shadow Swan

Yay im so excited for Chapter 4! I can’t wait til you guys do full album reactions. Their B-sides are top tier! My favorites from their first 2 albums are “Like” and “Coffee” which are mellower and r&b-ish

mettemirella

Here as always comment on couple things on the video.😊 The 100th day celebration also comes from culture the Korean society. For Koreans child passing 100 days is a sign that you would live your first birthday and if you live past the 1 year you would survive the infancy. With same logic kpop groups celebrate them as well. If you past the first milestone it is more likely you past the next one as well. There is various things that could happen before the first 100th days. Most of the time the group just dispand before the time and there is so many reason way. No funds or the group doesn't get along. Sometimes somebody leaves at the group early days but that doesn't necessarily lead to dispandment. Bts really wanted to break through at the early days the fact is that the real first hit song was I Need You in 2015. It got them 2 years to get first tv show win. I loved the reaction, you really are two wonderful, intellectual people. It's also very funny that you don't even realise that some point you can tell the members apart. In the future you can tell them by outfits.😅 The comment became quite long but I hope you don't mind. Borahae💜

J-Lee

Yazzz my weekend is now complete that the two of you have uploaded TRoB! Thanks for this my favorite brothers 💜 Just like you, I want to pause while watching and comment what's on my mind before I completely forget them! But It's hard when I am so into listening to what you had to say, as your commentaries are always informative, mind opening and JINspiring 🥰💜 So I'll just briefly break down what I wanted to say: 1. Yeah, comeback is a term when they come back with a new album. It's one of those Kpop terms widely used and you'll learn more as you go. 2. N.O is just one of those songs that BTS was not afraid to release where they tackle social issues that Koreans were afraid to speak about. That's why a lot of people their age relate to them and fought side by side with them to change the stereotypes of the society. Also with the NO performance, up to this day, they really monitor clips of their rehearsals so they can do better in their live performance. They really are such perfectionists. 3. That clip of the interview with B-Free and his crew always make me angry too, just like how you felt Jared. Bang Sihyuk even went to them to confront them of how they treated RM and Suga, but they're just 🐔💩 coz they didn't face Bang PD that time. Then they're talking about Hiphop as having a "macho culture". Please! Glad that RM responded to them in a very professional and dignified way 💜 Btw, those 'music critics' B-Free went to jail and basically living a messed up life. Karma is an ARMY 😉

J-Lee

4. Most of the clips in the chapter were from their Bangtan bombs, and Rookie King - a variety show where they do mostly penalties. And one of those was that part where Jhope and V 'kissed'. That's why there's been a running gag that Jhope is V's 1st kiss 🤭 Rookie King also has that famous elevator prank episode. You can react to it some time if you wish 😊 5. Jin saying that when he reads letters from Army that they feel sorry, he feels sorry too - this breaks my heart over and over again. It's always been like this with all of them. They know how Army would feel, we beat the same feelings and emotions 🥺 One example was during Grammy's - when they didn't win, they immediately went on Vlive to check on Army and tell us that we shouldn't be sad. They were always thinking of us, when they themselves were sad and hurting too 😭 6. Them always being vulnerable with Army, no other artist is like this. Just an open book to their fans. This is one of the reasons why they're different from ANY other groups. 7. Lastly, Chapter 4! Yazzz!! If you'll touch on the CYPHER songs, please do it all at once since you're already here. (Parts 1 to 4) Part 3 is my fave, btw. These are series of songs that they wrote as answers to those 'music critics' and haters over the years.

Victoria_Army4Life

I feel the same as you. As always their reactions are amazing and I luv this order of things.

J-Lee

I said I'll keep it brief 😩 Sorry my fave brothers for giving again a long a** message. I kept it at 7.. so that's it! 🤭 Btw, it would be nice seeing your bloopers! Yazzz 🥰 Happy birthday soon! Hope you stay healthy, down to earth and full of wisdom!! Keep doing what you do best, as you both are a big part of our universe already. Thank you for existing! Borahaeeee 💜

Kia

You know what, I’ve been in an extremely weird and unhealthy head space lately. And I’ve been able to talk myself through it and feel better with the reaction videos I watch. I think this episode was meant for me to see at this moment in my life rn. I haven’t watched the series and I’ve also been waiting to watch each episode with you guys as I know some others have as well. This episode was touchy and definitely what I needed. Right now I’m pressuring myself so much to be successful. I just graduated college and yes it’s a big accomplishment but somehow I still feel like I haven’t accomplished anything at all. The comments at the beginning from Jess and MoonWolfie as well as you guy’s words on them really made me think about what I HAVE accomplished. As Jess said (and Jess if you read this, thank you) it’s okay to pat yourself on the back for the little things. And Jared, I think I’m always going to have what you said with me from now on. “Bulletproof is a mindset.” I’ve just recently embraced the fact that I don’t love myself as much as I thought and now I’m finally ready to do the work to get there. I think my mindset is what I need to change. I need to be bulletproof and block out all the negativity from the outside and even from the inside that I throw at myself. Anyways, I don’t really know where I’m going with this comment but I thought I needed to let you both know that this reaction, specifically, is a part of my journey to grow from where I am right now and I’ll always remember it. So with that, I just say thank you. Thank you Anissa, thank you Jordan, thank you Jared, thank you Jess , thank you MoonWolfie( I hope you and your loved ones are okay and stay safe), thank you ARMY, and thank you Bangtan💜 Much love and support always ❤️

Christina

I’m sure someone else has probably already commented this, but disbandment would just be if a group isn’t successful with their debut album and sales don’t go well and there’s not much of a fan base, the company will disband the group because they’re not financially viable. It’s not like in the western music industry where I think a group could probably then go to another record label. The company really owns the group and has hand picked every member from thousands of trainees. So I guess reaching 100 days would suggest their first album was successful and they’ve already released their second, with further success. Hope that helps ☺️☺️ love you guys 💜

Alishea

Sending lots of love from Canada, I hope you and your family stay safe 💜

Hello) I subscribe to every word about the touchingness of this video. So much love! The first difficulties and social pressure... But this is only the beginning. Soon we will reach the period of the "Black Ocean" (I don't know what they call it in the foreign fandom). Oh, and the comments at the beginning of the video! MoonWolf, I so understand you! I get a little triggered by the sounds of the serenas in the songs (which is actually pretty common) and I constantly have to pull out my headphones and check my surroundings! It's annoying as hell... The weirdest thing in the current situation! I often meet military men in T-shirts with the inscription ARMY. I want to wish you all a peaceful sky over your head!💜💙💛

Добрий вечір ми з України! Часто обстріли? Якщо так, то не нехтуй тривогами, будь ласка... Сподіваюсь після перемоги ми зустрінемось на армі проєктах у Київі)

Firt of all: Your Outro Music is a BOP! Always boosts my mood to hear it. Then, as a person from Germany, who sees the people from Ukraine escaping and telling their stories: I'm constantly thinking of you and just can't imagine how hard life must be for you right now. Please stay safe! There are actually so many thoughts I have about Episode 3 but I think the most important one is adressing mental health. As someone who also suffers from depression and anxiety I always like to replace the Army phrase "BTS save lives" to "They are holding our hands and supporting us while we save ourselfes." They teach us how to do it on our own. And that is, as you guys say: just beautiful. Lots of love and a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Borahae

I don't know what else to say, but stay safe Army.

Hey Kia, I’m glad their reaction helped and I’m glad you’re keeping up with them to help support you through your journey. If you ever need just a little extra boost though, I’d suggest listening to “Paradise”. It hit me deep at a point when I was struggling as well. The lyrics are meant to just let you know that it’s okay that your struggling but you really don’t need to. Sending positive energy your way 💜 ~T

Tharikha Lakshmi

Whoever said ignorance was bliss is just plain selfish 🙄

Tharikha Lakshmi

Hey J&J, Thanks for another great reaction! It means so much when people understand why we love the boys …. It’s only a short throw from completely loving them yourself so I can’t wait for the announcement 😉 I love the idea of us writing letters to you. And the PO Box is a great idea as well. However, some of us live in other countries and sending letters across may not always be feasible. Do you have an email Id that we could write to you at as well? Can’t wait for the deleted and bonus content :) ~T

Kia

@Tharikha Lakshmi, I just wanted to say to thank you so much for your suggestion. Paradise is one of my favorite BTS song! I will definitely be listening to it more often during this time. Sending you positive energy and good blessings as well 💜

Lenore

Thanks so much, guys, as always. FYI, the song playing at the end is their Satoori rap--one of those songs for which it really helps to have Korean cultural context. The DKDKTV guys do a great job on songs like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l48zU1h00jw My favorite song on ORUL82 is "We On"--which offers one answer (as do their awesome cyphers) to critics who didn't take them seriously as idol-rappers. Happy Birthday!

Kate

I did laugh about the go-go knowing that would come back around and seeing Wale as Change is still on my main playlist

korgi

oh wow, as to MoonWolfie i sincerely hope they are okay and stay safe. it's amazing what people can do for others, something so simple as reacting to you guys and bts is making them feel better and helping this through this terribly hard time. i pray they are safe and may God Bless Them! <3

Once again Jared and Jordan, outstanding, everything you said was spot on, I couldn’t believe it when you said every Army will be crying with them because that’s all I did when I watched this with you guys. We feel and go through every motion with them, good and the bad we feel it too. You guys always bring a smile to my face even when I’m not feeling good like now, so thank you once again. I can’t even bare to think about the what ifs it actually breaks my heart talking about it, so I’ll keep it short and say I would not be who I am today without BTS, they taught me love, kindness and so much more, most importantly they taught me how to be less hard on myself and to LOVE myself which I am still working on. I could never of done that without them, I owe who I am and who I will become to them, when I have breakdowns I watch them because they heal me and make me feel like I can do anything, they are all I think about first thing in the morning and last thing at night, you will get to this song in time but every night before I sleep I listen to Jungkooks song for Army called my you every time I hear it I get goosebumps and it makes me very emotional every single time, it’s like my comfort blanket and really helps me sleep. What if I didn’t have that, who would I be and how would I move on through life I can’t think about it without getting emotional, as you said Jared thankfully we don’t have to think about it. I am so thankful to have people like you guys in our civilisation, I pray you will always stay.. can’t wait for the next chapter and for what’s to come, as Rm says got Army right behind us when we say so, and we are right behind you both always, BORAHAE 💜💜💜

Tara

Eeeeee! I'm so excited for the upcoming songs and episodes!!!!!

Tanya G

Another success story in the books. I waited for you guys to watch and I was not disappointed. I love bloopers and am looking forward to the part 3 blooper reel! Please post your bloopers! OMG, I think you guys would be hilarious. You’re already entertaining together and it’s wonderful to see brothers who work so well- just like the BTS brotherhood ;)

Janiya Smith

Same , they don’t even know…😭

Butterful

no fr if non-armys watch those they’ll be so confused💀😭im sometimes debating wether the rise of bangtan is the right way of introducing new armys😂but it’s also fun i guess

Xia Lias

Thank you for this reaction. I have been rewatching your reactions since I find your voices very soothing and I enjoy how you guys process all the information, not just by what you hear but by explaining your thought processes. I personally have a hard time speaking and vocalizing since I had a mental breakdown a little over a year ago. BTS helped me learn how to speak again and I sometimes use reactions as a way to help me feel like I am not alone in my process of healing. So I was happy when I found you two. Thank you for helping me feel more connected with this reaction since my mind was feeling hazy before I watched this.

Jess Horton

What fell at the end was the baton the instructor was holding? Enjoyed the reaction, watching it a second time. The quality of kpop music videos and live performance has had me stunned for years. I agree. Probably comment again somewhere after I have watched this a second time. Oh can I bring light to an editing masterpiece, how you both give closing remarks at the end of the video "leave a like....peace" BEAT DROPS! Right on time.

Jess Horton

I was just thinking about this! Sabrina & Laurie

RhadAnne

wow! Thank you both for gracing us with another beautiful and impactful reaction to this episode. I love the "feeding with kindness" part. Also when JK read that letter about his goal, that was 15 yo JK. That has never changed as a mature JK now has remained the same humble young boy we knew from 10yrs ago bearing the same mindset of giving his best to never disappoint us. The same goes for all of them really. I am truly proud of them for what they have achieved but most of all for always being who they really are with their feet always on the ground.

Jada Perocier

I don't usually comment on anything, but please check out jhopes lollapalooza performance you will be blown away!! been waiting for it, borahae💜

Tharikha Lakshmi

Congratulations on becoming the second most followed BTS reactors on Patreon!!!

Jenny

That’s crazy how quick they’ve grown but it’s fully deserved! Who’s the most followed?

J-Lee

Maybe whatchagot2say. They have about 3K patrons. It's actually crazy how Jared and Jordan had gone to more than 1K in such a short time. The others had been running Patreon for a long time now but only have hundreds. I wouldn't be too surprised tho. My fave brothers are dope!! 💜

Sofie K.

Each member has a unique bond with each other - true brotherhood. When they interact with each other two by two they bring out different sides of each other. There is no pair that I don't enjoy seeing together. But to me personally I just can't get enough of "Vhope" (The friendship pairing between V and J-Hope). There is just something about their Friendship that always makes me extra happy. It's always seemed like V looked up to J-Hope. Always seems in awe by him. And he even confessed a few years ago that he had been trying hard to get praise from J-Hope. Their energy matches so well. Their bond is so special to me. Some of my favourite vlogs and VLives is them together. As someone who discovered BTS late, the Rise of Bangtan series has really been helpful to me to see the growth and to know who they were and who they've become. I'm so thankful that I came across BTS by accident on YouTube (was watching performences from SNL and then I just clicked on their performance of Mic Drop and I was so impressed and confused - I had never seen anything like this before. So I had to check them out..).

Phem

You need to make a reaction video on BTS' BOY IN LUV track before watching Ep 4. 💜 For live performance, I would suggest MMA 2019 Boy in Luv performance!!

Glaseon_711

Becky F, I asked her not to miss the air alerts. We'll really try!

Sabrina K

I was finna say LOL they gonna be like 😳😳

Butterful

Guys if you see this, maybe skip them?😂watch them a few months later lmao

Kristin Zuehl

You two definitely do not disappoint with your reactions. Like everyone else here, I eagerly await the next reaction! In this day and age of music that glorifies violence and s*x these boys are writing and singing about how much they love ARMY, how to love ourselves, how to not let society pressure us into their “mold”. Oh how I wish I had these boys’ music when my younger self had her spirit broken, was painfully shy, was never good enough. I listen to them in awe, sometimes with tears because they make me feel something I had buried long ago but never dealt with. That it is okay to be me, the imperfect me. And when I see an ARMY post about being sad, or needing encouragement, I don’t feel awkward sending love to someone I have never met because we are all connected now. I love these young men, and I love ARMY. 💜🫶

avAndres

Before you finish Chapter 3, please react to House of Cards . This is another genre/type of music of BTS unlike any other you've heard so far. Prepare to be blown away with their live performance of this song. The feeling that they convey is so strong that it is almost tangible. Great content and reaction by the way. Thank you for taking time to analyze and appreciate BTS and their songs.

Oune

I feel the same way Kristin. I am so glad to hear the confidence and love you have for yourself. BTS makes music fun again for me and they make me feel just a bit younger. Sending you a hug from a fellow ARMY that understands where you are coming from. Take care and keep smiling. Borahae!

And

The Chapter titles are all titles of their songs, but the songs themself are rarely included in the chapter, it's just a title. For example Chapter 2's title "Begin" is Jungkook's song from 2016, but it was a fitting title since it was the beginning of BTS's career since they debut in that chapter. "House of Cards" is a song from 2015.

J-Lee

I think the MMA 2019 performance will be good to watch in one whole and not in bits and pieces. They're not ready for it yet coz they haven't heard a lot of the songs in there yet 😕

Phem

Agree with you! 💜

dyxqdthyfv

from Dark and Wild please react to the full album cuz all songs are so good and especially HYYH album All songs are masterpiece

Jess Horton

It's a 💜 from me! Bloopers? Yes please!

Bricey

Happy Belated Birthday guys!!!

jaredandjordanBTS

You’re spot on fox, as ALWAYS! Army is everything. The day we get to the point where we’re able to tell their silhouettes, laughs, fingers, etc apart, we will celebrate by drinking some wine and eating some dessert 😂💜🙏🏽

jaredandjordanBTS

Yes! The teasers will be something be try hard to include in our reactions moving forward 😊 they are literally ultra-mini movies! Haha

Johana

Yes! I love that song, and I definitely think Jared would enjoy this song.

Janiya Smith

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY GUYS💗thank you for you reaction videos!!

Mia Urbanski

I love your reactions. Unrelated to this episode but can you react to do you by RM? I would love to see your reaction and listen to you analyze this song. Happy belated birthday!

Trinda 💜

Thank you for the video. I have never watched Rise of the Bangtan before starting it and following it along with you guys, and it made me cry. This episode was so meaningful and really helped me understand (even more than I already do) why BTS has made such an impact. As always I love your reactions and find myself rushing to watch them (although I've fallen behind this week). I'm looking forward to many more videos with you guys!!! P.S. Happy Belated Birthday! I hope it was amazing. 💜

Carla Murphy

Love your content, integrity & sincerity when it comes to BTS. My comment is about why are people so closed minded. I Believe its ignorance and insecurity of people that don’t want to take the time to learn and understand something that is different from what they already know. I believe that’s at the core of racism in general. Please keep up the great work. Love to you both. I purple you 💜💜💜💜💜💜

Jenn - Parole de libraire

I can't wait for you to watch Idol. This song. It's the perfect answer for all the harsh times they suffered ! A masterpiece (just like the MMA 2018's performance, one of the mindblowing ones !)

ANW!

Great reaction content! It was hilarious by what the dumpling faced (w)rappers told RM and Suga not realizing that this kind of attitude and way of thinking will take them nowhere career wise. Moving forward, BTS, specifically RM and Suga, are now International accalimed artists then RM and Suga are presently great Hip Hop Rappers with currently Snoop dog collaboration on hand (Bad Decision). I am greatly appreciative of how you did this reaction video and i think you both deserved the deepest bow I can give you for how sincere, honest and factual you have presented this reaction video.... more to come and continued success!

ANW!

What is an IDOL mean? What is an ARTIST mean? ... BTS has helped evolve the meaning of an IDOL and ARTIST through their music on how, why, what and where the narrative of their music flows to. BTS are now IDOL ARTISTS with wide genre of music that helped Hip Hop music breakthrough RAP and now made a new genre of RAP. No one can dispute the fact that IDOL ARTIST exists prior to BTS, like Pattie Labelle & the Blue Belles, The Temptations, The Four Tops, New Kids On the Block, New Edition, Boys to Men, 98 degrees to name a few, but it's only when BTS popularity has solidify the clear definition of the name IDOL ARTISTS for which BTS paid homage to the IDOL ARTIST that came before them. When New Kids on the block (NKOTB) and New Edition performed on the 2021 AMA, BTS gave them a standing ovation and dancing to their performance then back stage BTS led by RM spoke with NKOTB Donnie Wahleberg and bowed thanking them for paving the way for IDOL ARTISTS to be acknowledge (YOUTUBE). So in conclusion IDOL ARTIST is now a current "thing" on the entertainment world. I would like to thank you Jared and Jordan for inspiring me to get back on my writing and I am thinking of exploring Hip Hop dancing (Whoa a 52 year old hip hop dancer!) with my 15 year old son... I am ever be grateful to you Jared and Jordan for the bottomless inspiration you give to us ARMY through your podcast / reaction videos... fighting!

leat

wow i didn´t knew that about idol artist. i thought BTS was the first. but i only know of one current band that do some writing and that´s straykids. i dont listen to kpop only BTS it´s to noisy for my taste. but it´s clear to me that BTS really love western artist and was allowed to make their music sound like that. compared to the other groups, who may like idol music more since that´s what they wanted to do. BTS is more western inspired i feel like. so i think that´s why i find their music more appealing.

Jaeyi

I can’t wait for the future reactions, rise of bangtan gets better as it goes on, in my opinion especially starting from the I need you era. You will gradually see their rise in fame as well as their growth. I would also like to mention that their titles tracks are good, but the real gems are in their b-sides. You can look at it this way, they have to think about how to lure crowds in with their title track, so the focus would be put on addictive Melodies and things like that. But the b-sides are where the lyricism, rawness and poetry really is

Harfey

Finally got around to watching this! I only felt the need to comment my excitement that this is another excuse to possibly watch IDOL sooner! I'm unsure why I love the song so much, but the concept is great and I resonate with it's meaning.
