Sorry for making you guys wait, enjoy 🥰💜

I cried when the writer said, "when we talk abt BTS, we are not just talking abt only 7 members, but also their fandom, ARMY. "(Thank u my purple family for these many likes. Borahae. I wish that one day i will be among purple ocean at BTS concert.

As a 53 yo Army and a parent, I really believe this should be shown to parents who don’t understand why their kids are into BTS

*"Every album of BTS is like a book, the songs are the chapters, and the lyrics are the messages. -Me"*

“Ok boomer” I CANNOT 😂😂😭😭 Please give whoever translated this a big raise 🤣🤣🤣

I think baby ARMYs should watch this instead of those meme videos full of misinformation about the boys. This is so informative and so well researched🥰

i love how she simplify all things from bts history careers issue goals armys bts universe and etc. And from the looks of her face we can see that she's a true fan who loves to educate and share how big the impact of bts to this days and in our lives.

"Every business wants customers who are as loyal as ARMY is to BTS" damn my ARMY heart just skipped a beat...💜

As a new army, Ive watched a few “documentaries” about BTS, their journey, their struggles and accomplishments and so on, and it never ceases to amaze me how greatly and massively they’ve impacted not only the younger generation but the older ones as well. This video is truly amazing because they really get into the details of their impact and the positive influence they have around the world. I was honestly tearing up watching this.

man I can't believe i watched a whole documentary about BTS... I can't even listen to my class for 5 mins

the teacher just gained so much respect from me. it's so hard to put everything in 60 minutes, she did a very good job. i'm really thankful for that. i hope this show aired in my country too because it's so frustrating how my siblings and parents don't understand why i love BTS😭

As a non-traditional BTS fan, I think their message resonates for all ages. They honestly make me want to be a better person.

Oh my their shocked faces. Thank you Dr Jiyoung Lee. BTS are extremely talented, intelligent, loving and humble young men that's why we love and support them. We have seen their hardships, their struggles, their joys, their pains, the racism and xenophobia they have faced. They've trusted us to show us their weakness and well as their strengths.

I’m so glad they brought in an ARMY to explain this and not some random passer by. ARMY understand BTS

BTS is not just an Idol. They are artist, friend, teacher, motivator, reminder, role model, source of inspiration and home. They really help me to be a better person and I always thank them for that.

Why is it, that people immediately ask the “are you dating?” question when certain idols are working on a project together? Why can’t it be “Oh how was the experience working together?” “Can you talk more about your passion for music?” and the likes? 🤷🏻‍♀️

This was really great! I'm a Brazilian teacher and a PhD student and frequently I have to hear people mocking about my interest for BTS. It is definitely different the impact they have on their fandom. To me, their lyrics are the most important, I always listened to songs that are personal. Songs that shared the feelings of the singer so it was really easy to like specially the oldest songs of BTS, and I have to include the Agust-D (SUGA alter ego) songs too. I think the prejudice is what back off the people to enjoy even more their songs.

“Let’s buy it first and then listen.” This was legit me with their albums for the past 5 years. We have so much faith that’s it gonna be good that we just get it regardless.

I am a 74 Yr old grandma and I am so proud of BTS.. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I know that all the kpop idols and groups have their own story of hardships, sorrow and misery but when you witnessed how BTS did their very best to prove themselves and make their own name in this industry and to be known all over the world who came from a small entertainment company, your heart will surely flutter and you will be proud to them. I purple you BTS. Thank you and I am so proud to all of you because your stories was heard all over the world. Congratulations.

BTS : i hope our stories are heard by more people Other idols : i hope our songs are loved and and listened by many. BTS is the revolution 💜

That shaky voice that i feel like she will start crying any minute. Her love for BTS 🥺 dunno where did i get that patience to listen to someone talk about something not getting bored in almost an hour. BTS lang Sakalam 💜

“people have faith in them” that’s very true in so many ways

I’m 72 live in California and ARMY. Because of BTS I’ve learned to love myself that I matter I’ve given myself permission to be happy and to make a change in my world. And to try and help others around me. They have changed my life. Bucket list number one is to go to a concert sit up close and enjoy their music and support them.

ARMY are full of intellectuals😍 It's one of the reasons why BTS became a global phenomenon. We're an ever evolving, thinking fandom😉

My favorite part was the two women’s nervous and kinda awkward laughter when Suga was rapping abt how they (him and BTS) used to be called nobody idols from a nobody company and get cut from broadcasting👀😂😂

"if u dunno who these guys are, u not gonna compete in the world that is emerging" this is true, n it's happening right now, n we're all in it, just like pendulum effect, everything is moving all together towards the same direction at the same time ✨

I showed this to my parents, and finally they understood me, I can't be more happy, thank you so much. Everybody should know this before judge. They are amazing, you are amazing for making this for us. 💜 purple you

I studied psychology but I learned much more from BTS messages than in my school.

"It takes a tremendous amount of love to do everything for them because they want to protect them" Period like for last 7 years my memories are full of bts so I will surely protect them in any cost😭😭

Younha is the permanent guest in this show. I hope army listen to her Winter Flower featuring RM and the whole unstable mindset album. Currently only 415 thousand people give thumbs up for the music video.

I'm 59 years of age and I agree with Dr. Lee's theory and analogies. I have only started listening to BTS a couple of months ago and really got drawn in by their music, choreo., style, but mostly their message to young people. During watching documentaries and interviews I became so enthralled in the message of positivity, loving yourself, race, culture, etc....besides being a Christian I also learned it was great to hear such affirmative message on difference, and self identity and just being who you are and finding your path and how to use what you're going through to help someone else going through the same thing. This discussion also made me realize that social media is expansive and it's the new way to form news cultures, attitudes, societal norms depending on how we use it. I don't believe the older generation takes these things into consideration or understand the importance of today's technology. I've learned to appreciate and truly admire BTS and their message and after listening to this video it has given me a greater respect for these young men. It's never to late to teach an old dog new tricks and open our eyes to our youth of today and get involved with them and their problems, troubles, and the challenges they are having, you don't need technology for that just love. It's truly lovely to see this and wish the world could change for the better and I hope BTS will set a greater trend for other after them to let the global population realize we're all different, but one with many of the same problems. Thank you Dr. Lee for such an informative in-site to such a spectacular group of men. God Bless from Texas, USA.

23:39 i love this part “Army feel they’ve received too much from Bts, because they feel Bts change their life, consoled them when they were going through a hard time, and because Bts gave them the strength to keep on living” true words 💜

I’m amazed how she summarized the most important things in such a short time. Everything was explained on point. 👍🏻

This is just beautiful. Sending love from Texas, USA. I’m a 38 year old single mom of 2 who’s the care taker of my 90 year old Grandpa and I work full time. My country is a mess. Covid. I wouldn’t have made it through 2020 without them. Thank you for doing this.

I can't believe these boys have reached such great heights, as an old army I am proud. Now they are treated as if they are some world leaders. In a sense they are. Army stays with them forever. We have a bond that stays forever.

As a communications and humanities graduate with minors in film and philosophy - THIS is SO my jam! Can’t thank you enough for this upload and translations. BTS and ARMY is the global movement that makes me want to raise my kids in this world. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🇨🇦

This should be translated in every language to understand everyone world wide who are still underestimate them😤😤

When Suga said "And what if Bangtan rises?"

"I can't believe i was alive to see this." She just said what's always in my mind❤️

I'm a 2022 ARMY and this is the first time I've seen this video. I experienced mixed emotions. From being proud to getting goosebumps and shedding tears. I love BTS. Their lyricism is so deep.

Yes! This is how BTS and Army should be explained, this goes through so many of the hard to explain concepts in a very understandable way. Very well done. Will be asking reactors to check it out as well for baby army.

I’m 50 and am a huge fan. I love the music the choreography but most of all it’s the lyrics. Meaningful touching upon so many emotions. They are phenomenaly diverse in the songs they put out. Respect. One of Koreas treasures I’m sure

I don't know how many times I watched this.. But still always gave me a goosebumps... Never stop believing with our boys BTS... They put smile on my face.. Love more myself.. No regrets I Stan my dear boys BTS....💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

My 8 years old nephew loved them. He knows their name (stage name and real Korean name) of course their songs & their dance choreography. He even ask me how did they write and compose songs? And how come they are all good at dancing and singing?. I am proud that he actually curios about that. BTS makes my nephew curios about hard work, creativity and perseverance.

50:15 *"BECAUSE THEY HAVE FAITH IN THEM"* Facts💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

With all the positive influence of BTS to millions of people around the world, they deserve a NOBEL PRIZE no less.

now when it comes to think about it, the tshirt controversy is one of the reason why they decided to disband themselves as bts back in 2018. its heartbreaking to see them crying so much especially jhope while giving speech receiving the daesang award and saying 2018 is the hardest year they have been through

I'm a 52 yr old American Army and I appreciate the effort you put into this presentation. It is very informative for those curious about BTS.

This video needs more views. This needs to reach a wider audience so that they can understand the power BTS and ARMY holds. The love and respect BTS and ARMY have for each other is something else and the effort they're putting in to make the world more inclusive and to make it a better place is something everyone could learn from them.

I cracked up when he said "Okay, boomer" but it was ahjussi 😂

I can proudly say I'm an ARMY who has learned how to Love Myself and that I should not be taken in by my sickness. I'm sick and I always thought and believed that I'm unlucky for being born, giving tensions and problems to my family but through BTS and their Love Myself campaign. I'm humbly proud to be a BTS ARMY 💜

BTS is not just an Artist. And ARMY is more than just a fans 💜

"They don't have songs that are about sexual love"... Instant flashback

“They all have the same passion and have the same values, I think we should take some time to think about those values, and what they have to tell us.” Now this is the attitude everyone should share. If only people would just stop and listen instead of jumping to conclusions about them and their fan base. This entire talk session was constructed so well, thank you so much to this teacher and Army for doing a deep dive into the world of BTS. Thoughts: The main reason why Army is such devoted a strong fandom is because the effort we put in and feelings we show is reciprocated by Bangtan Therefore It’s not hysteria, it’s not madness, it’s not stupidity when it is regarding our fandom, it is love for our artist and all the characteristics that are associated with it; support, comfort, happiness.. These seven men will go down in history as legends, for changing and uniting the world. Army along side them. I hope they realise how they have done so much for their country but not only their country the world. Well at least they have changed my world..

As a 52 years old Army, I thank you ...the tears , the emotions I get from this are medicine for my aching body. BTS is medicine for my chronic pain decease 💜💜💜. So sorry for my English, greetings from Chile 💜💜💜

As a 44 yr old woman, this is how an adult should learn about BTS! Not only do they contribute to music and art, but to the societies of the WORLD as a whole. She was spot on when discussing how the media tries to demean BTS and their artistry. And, I appreciate the guest panel for being engaged and open to learning more about the group!!

I bet many ARMYs still didn't know this full video were upload today.. I'll be share on Twitter so that others will watch too👍

This documentary is so outstanding that a man who didn't even know them, has doubt and negative thoughts about these 7 men has left him a big impression, same as the hosts. I hope this be able to watch by others who is same as that man. Every ARMYs like Dr. Lee would like to feel and express how is it to be a fan of BTS and how they change our mindset to cope up with the struggles we face in life. That the answer is to love thy self to be able to love one another. Thanks Dr. Lee for reperesenting ARMYs and BTS ☺️💜

Mad respect goes to Dr. Jiyoung lee for this wonderful talk on BTS. Not many can pull off almost all the aspects of what defines BTS and their incredible fandom '' ARMY'' in a span of 52 minutes.

I absolutely love how she integrated Rhizome into the explanation of SNS (especially twitter) and how it helped and benefited both BTS and ARMYS instead of blatantly labeling their success on social media platforms (as she mentioned on SNS everyone is their own leader, there is no hierarchy) she emphasizes that BTS and ARMYS use the platform to interact and their success and impact is based on their approach on lyrical, meaning, message and story integration into their music and such. P.S: I was literally watching the previous subbed videos for the 3rd time hoping the full episode would be uploaded and within 30mins it was uploaded. It's a great night, I'm watching this before going to bed. Thank u for the subs.

The difference between BTS and other groups was quite obvious from the very beginning I always feel proud of myself to stan such an amazing artists :)

Fun fact: you cant finish this video without shedding a tear.

When my family asks why I love BTS, it's because they show you that you are good enough as a person and that you should embrace you flaws and imperfection. They show the world that mental health is just as important as our physical health. That it's okay to be different and imperfect because at the end of the day, we're all just humans.

41:00 That moment when you realize you've been overlooking a national treasure and suddenly worry if you're going to lose it before you had a chance to appreciate it.

I'm literally crying while watching this. BTS is really the only artist I know who wanted their fans to do what is right, to love and believe themselves and start a "revolution" to make the world a better place by helping one another. I've met so many great people in Twitter because of bts. Btw, I'm a teacher and everytime my students ask me what I saw with bts I'll always tell them, choose an artist who will make you feel you are loved. Choose an artist who will push you to become the better version of yourself not just an artist who describes the feeling of this and you kinda relate to it so you'll like their songs and hence you'll like the artist as well but choose an artist who can do so much more than that. BTS's music literally changed me. They healed me. And I can't thank God enough for giving me these 7 angels. 💜 Bangtan borahae. Army borahae.

I love how armys don't just see the Tans as a boy band, but as friends, mentors, comfort, and a sense of home 😭 y'all are literally the best fandom and i'm glad to be apart of this family💜

Taetae is such a genius to create the legendary phrase "I PURPLE YOU" or "BORAHAE"✌🐯🐻💜

i would love if Dr.jinyoung became my teacher . she explained everything so nicely and atrctively watching this video for 51 mins felt so short.

Dear the other companies, just let your idols write their own songs their own stories.

I just turned 30 and became ARMY only a few months ago. Before that, I was listening to people around me with a lot of toxicity who didn't want to believe the power BTS holds. I saved this video to show to anyone who would want to learn.

“Editor: bruh I’m only one man” made me laugh so much lmao 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you for this. Being a 48 year old Army isn't easy. Having real love for 7 guys from Korea that dont know I exist brings a lot of hate my way. But I will never stop supporting and loving Bangtan. They are everything good in this world. I will go to my grave supporting and loving them. They are no different from my children when it comes to being protective and loving them. Even though others may not understand it does not matter. I understand, BTS understands and my fellow Army understands and thats enough for me. I just want everything good for the 7. I always want them happy and healthy. I hope they know they are loved by so many of all ages and races. I hope someday to thank them in person for being a shining light in a often dark world. I hope we are their Light as well when times are hard for them. They give so much to us. I wish I could give them the same back. But I cant. So instead I share their message with others, fight for them in the pits of hell called American Radio and promote their albums to people. Its all I can give them and all I can do to show them I appreciate them for all they have done for Army. They make me feel young and alive and I am forever thankful for them. BTS is Army, Army is BTS forever.

Bangtan came into my life when I didn't know I needed them. Their songs hit me so hard that I realised that something must change and I must value myself. Im so happy to be part of a family that loves you and will stay with you. BTS 💜 ARMY

Brought my understanding of BTS and ARMY to a new level. They really grew up together and formed a major force to reckon with. Another, just look at the charts, it's really mind-blowing of what BTS music does to the world

I would forever be grateful that I lived in the same era and the same timeline as BTS💖💜 their music and artistry feels so genuine that it reached my heart. I have never been this moved by an artist before. Their music has substance and that's why my ARMY foundation is strong

Omg she played Sea and started to tear up, lmao she caught me out of guard

I love this tho the color purple and how borahae was born wasn’t really elaborated in this video. Anw, this is how you explain the fandom. I feel great and proud to be part of this whole worlwide fam. BTS is ARMY. ARMY is BTS. We are more than just a fandom. 💜

Im,at my 40s but im proud to be an army,together with kids thru this we connected from each other even when im working far away from them and during my work i always listen to thier songs and i didnt feel any tiredness

Thank you Dr. Jiyoung Lee for this amazing, informative and educational lecture on BTS. “Not just idols but icons of a social and cultural change” “Peculiar Phenomenon leading a big change” I learned a few things I didn’t know about them. I am 59yrs old & truly love and admire these incredibly talented, amazing hard working young men.

We are forever army even they retire bts will be is was always love bts we are ARMY forever.💜💜💜💜💜

Ah yes..that november 2018 controversy..i remember it so vividly..it truly felt like the whole world was against us at that time..no one was on our side..and when youre an international army, you have to be extra careful coz it involves the history between two countries..the whole fandom need to watch their step..you couldnt imagine how much a relief it was when the White Paper Project happened..

what I'm thankful about BTS is they're able to voice out and put into lyrics what i really wanted to tell myself when I'm in the rock bottom of my life. every situation that gives us emotional burden is alleviated by their words and the melody chills your nerves because thats when you know that the song is speaking to you and reminding yourself that "its ok to not be ok sometimes" its fine to be weak when you can develop your strength through it" , "your past doesn't define your future but the way you see the bright side of the present is what matters most" and "happiness is find within yourself so do not let anyone affect you" i purple you 💜💜💜

I don't know why I cried but it's honestly from the bottom of my heart. Unnie who made the lecture on BTS is actually tells the story of each army who experienced the fandom from their heart......for armies they are not only a idol which consist of 7 artists....... In my story,for me they are my elder brothers who will always with me when I had a hard time or happy....who will answer me through their song......they are the most important one in my life more than me........because the one who taught me about love myself and through that love the world around me......without them I am incomplete..... Infinite love forever for you my brothers no matter where you are what you doing💜

I have been an army since 2017, I have followed their entire path since then and I am very proud to see them being studied not only for their success but also through their work and their history, pride.

Can't believe I saw a one hour video without skipping... This lady is really great in explaining... I believe she is someone who is an ARMY with her full heart and wants other people to know how great BTS and ARMYS are !! Thank you !!

to top it all up, bangtan is genuine and sincere af. they really made me feel a connection i never felt towards other artists/idols/groups. they didn't just tell armys book instructions like, you should do this you should do that--but instead they stayed with us in the dark, comforted us and walked with us. in short, in a journey that we're experiencing right now, we are hand-in-hand with them and we can feel the warmth and trust in each step we take.

BTS isn't just a mere Idol but rather a group of 7 boys who brings positive change to the world through their music. They use their platform in engaging their fans to do good deeds. I am a proud ARMY and I am proud of them, always.

I'm literally going to cry because it's the first time I've seen such a representation of ARMY in the media. At some point it becomes so tiring to fight against all the stereotypes of being a fan of BTS and constantly defending by choice of becoming their fan. But to see someone take the time to understand us and speak about BTS and us in this way, I really teared up. This means so much to me, you have no idea. Thank you so much for posting this video

see even she agrees there's enough of us to form a country, Kim Namjoon for president anyone? 😂💜

I'm always so so grateful for being alive and able to witness and be a part of this amazing phenomenon that is BTS. And like the prof said in the video, when we talk of BTS, it's not usually just of the 7 members, it's about us ARMY, too. I love it. Borahae!! 💜

if this vid an among us that person on yellow knitted vest would be the impostor what a vibe killer

That's why love you Army and our BANGTAN!! Army we are the best 💜.....there are many Armies from different countries in the world( like I am from India 🇮🇳💜) !!! But... We are actually connected to each other!!.. let's make a better world for us!!!💜 Love you my family Ami family!!💜

i love how the translator congrats biden.

Twitter is a mess rn and I really think hearing this whole video would be so helpful to new fans and be such an eye opener.

Younha is in here . ♥️ I wish there is a show where Namjoon and Younha interact to each other.

3:11 “I think there should be English, Chinese, Arab subtitles” editor: bruh i am only one man i-

This should be seen by literally everyone and i hoped she would also talk about how borahae was invented (about how tae mentioned it in the concert and it held so much meaning) when they asked about how our fandom color was purple💜💜

I am very late to this as I only discovered BTS in Nov 2023 and am working my way through all their discography, the documentaries, concerts, the BU etc. This made me think about why I connected with BTS while I was laid up in my room recovering from an operation and a bout of covid. I am nearly 67 and live in Australia. As a young person attending university in the mid 1970s my favourite music was folk music and protest songs of the 60s and 70s highlighting issues such as war, poverty, free speech, racism, apartheid, refugees and social injustices. My tastes haven't changed that much, though I have added other music but these are still my core love - though in the typical way things are in the Western english speaking world these were pretty much all from artists in the US or England which were mostly what we had access to back then. We have so much more to discover now and the luxury of subtitles to allow us to enjoy music from all around the world, but still we gravitate back to our comfort zone most of the time. I realise that BTS and their lyrics are really what drew me to them (as well as amazing music, dance and visual appeal). They really resonate with me in much the same way as those protest songs of my youth.

I love this so much. You can feel the sincerity and how proud Dr. Lee is while she's explaining everything and on the last part I felt that she's stopping herself from crying while she's explaining the criticisms on BTS. All in all I love this video ☺️☺️
