Nam Joon… Vlive - Reaction

I’m a bit late to this lol, but basically when Namjoon was talking about directly participating more in their albums and talking about people looking down on them, he was referring to a big US producer who produced for Kanye I believe, that basically went on Twitter to say that bts don’t write their music and don’t participate in the music writing. Which is of course untrue, but this is what Namjoon was referring to. It’s sad that he felt the need to say that because they are active in their albums, BE alone is proof of that. I wish people who know nothing about them would stop trying to speak on bts. 😪 I hope this clarifies things, I know I’m a bit late!

I didn't really encounter much hate or disdain myself when I was in Vegas. But then, I was only there for two days, and most of my time was spent in ARMY-centric areas. I didn't really feel out of place at all. Though I did encounter a few people (mostly the Lyft drivers) who were sort of curious about the whole "BTS thing". One sort of admitted that he enjoyed annoying Armies by comparing BTS to boy bands like *NSYNC and whatnot, which I wasn't too much of a fan of, but I didn't really respond in a negative way. Just calmly putting my thoughts out there on why someone like me enjoys their music. Hopefully it gave him something to think about past the standard stereotype "boyband" thing. Though one other driver (the one who was taking me to the stadium on Saturday, actually) asked me specifically why I personally liked them. And I told them my reasons. PTD came up as I mentioned it was one of their English songs and the theme of the current show, and all of a sudden he started playing it in the car. So I had fun jamming to that. But I mentioned that as much as I love their English songs (which is a hell of a lot) their Korean songs are better and if they wanted to hear something more typical of their style of music (not like BTS has a singular style to speak of), he should try listening to "ON". And he played it!! That's what was blasting out the windows when he dropped me off at the stadium. Not sure I turned him into a fan or not, but at least he took the time to try and listen to something. That was really nice. So my interactions with non-Army weren't really bad, per se, though I'm sure some people did encounter that. And I get what RM means about ignoring the haters, but also, at the end of the day, Hater or simply non-Army, as long as we respond in a welcoming and positive way, I think it can only make things better. All of the Armies I've met have been some of the nicest people, and that's exactly what people should see. They should associate BTS and ARMY with kindness, politeness, and genuine caring. And we have to reflect that no matter what. That's what RM and all of BTS would want from us, and I think that would make them proud of us. So I guess, my thoughts are kind of "If you think you can respond in a positive way, that's not bad, but if you are getting caught up in the heat of the moment and your response might not be constructive in any way, it's better to say nothing at all." Because he's right. They want to get a rise out of us, and we shouldn't let them have that victory. ARMY has BTS and BTS has ARMY. What more do we need?

12:00 To talk about the portion of noodle that Namjoon has talked during the live, we once said during his vlive that 1 portion of bibim noodle is too small and 2 is too much to have it all, so asked the company to release 1.5x version of noodle, just for fun. But after the live, the noodle company officially increased 20% of its noodle portion in Korea.

ALSOOOOO have u seen twitter??? bts album is coming out june 10th!!! SO CRAZY

familia!!!! you guys should watch the day 4 concert cuz it was so much fun and the ending ments were all so sweet and touching. overall, there was just a lot of cute moments😭 definitely my favorite concert ever

💤

QOTD: Never been to the US. But I would like to visit some places such as Las Vegas etc.

I just got to watch this familia. I think in this Vlive Namjoon is adressing a lot. One of this is this old guy on twitter who's a producer of big named artist threw shades on them. Saying that they were not self made. And they don't fully participate on writting their music. Then later on the guy said that he enjoys riling up ARMYs. Since ARMYs couldnt accept what this guy was saying bout the our guys.

Oohlive

Familia this is a tad bit late but I just got a chance to see this and don’t know if you’ll see this but this was great! Hope you guys react to jungkooks vlive he did before the concerts let me tell you it was an amazing vlive although there were some kinda scary parts youll have fun watching it also make sure to watch it before the vlive hobi jimin and tae did feat.jungkook lol (when you watch jungkoks vlvie before the hobi jimin and tae feat jungkook make sure to look at the painting behind jungkook on his vlive lol then you’ll see something they did on the vlive last night which is so funny because well you’ll see if you watch it in order 😆 )

Chantelle

i literally teared up at his speech near the end. It definitely touched my heart

laura

he continues to surprise me, he's always been so aware and wise. Everyday i love him more and more 💜 There was actually a few armys who had "BTS is self made" posters at the concerts ! im so happy armys tend to represent for the rest of us !

Familia 💜 Thank you for this vlive🙏🏾 Jhope and maknae like were live last night, it was EPIC 🔥 can’t wait to see your reaction

Dorrie

It shouldn’t matter though. The Grammys have never cared about that. Most songs and albums that win have many writers and producers on them. Also it’s good to remember that actually singing, rapping, those are important steps in music making still.

Ophelia

Familia I hope you react to more of their recent vlives esp the ones in Vegas (JK one and also today's vlive) would love to see ur reaction ☺️

army.syaza

When namjoon said he just wanna grow his hair from now and shave it all off later, my mind just went to the militarY thing 🥺💆🏻‍♀️

army.syaza

Love your Vegas vlogs familia, so happy u got to see our boys again. Agree with Namjoon to not give oxygen to the antis xoxo

j

i think they should watch JK's first!!

cassie jane

Família, please watch the Vlive they did today (it just ended) it was Tae, Jimin and Hobi + JK at the end, it was hilarious!!! Really felt just like a video call between us lol

Carol 💜

no cause the way namjoon was talking in this vlive really just touched something, like in my heart, idk. he really just, wow. i luv all the chaotic lives and such but this one really made me feel so much more closer to him? parasocially ofc.

madi

All Army on Twitter say that this was on of RM best vlive and there is a couple of quotes taken from this and I totally agree.

cassie jane

Carol 💜

Yup... Even i wanted them to react to that n go in order for next rm vlive but ah it's okay..

cupkookie

Dropbox works completely fine for me! It must be something on your end 😕🙈

Holly-Jayne

I loved watching this with you familia, i hadn't watched it in full yet because i was tired so i went to sleep in the middle of the Vlive, so when I woke up i lost some translations!! But it was such a cute and comforting Vlive :(( i love how they are all about positive energy, how he talked about the Grammys, the haters... It's just so beautiful!!! Love how he's so goofy but so wise too, i literally teared up a little at the end!! He cares about army's so much, the way he says he's worried about army responding to the haters negative energy and feeling bad, also how he talked about the various people that are part of the army :(( and how it's a mutual relationship :(( I'm literally crying rn, really hope someday I can see them live, face-to-face, and feel all their energy and their love!!!🥺💜💜 P.S.: Excited for the part 2 of your Vegas vlog, familia!!!

Carol 💜

JK vlive next please!!!

Ellie

i agree with you! i think BTS and RM are too harsh on themselves especially after the scammies because we know they want to win the award and they dont really give themselves the credit they deserve !

cassie jane

I didn't even understand when he said that BTS needed to participate more in their music. Did he forget the existence of 'BE'?? Literally, when you go into their discography you'll see Namjoon, Yoongi and Hobi's name in the majority of their songs and even in their production as well, huh? Is that not good enough for the scammys, that doesn't make sense to me. I'll tell you this, Taylor Swift had made a self-written album and she is always the main writer with maybe one or two others in other songs and she's been credited in some of the production of some of her music, but she hasn't won as many scammys compared to other artists who have like 10+ other writers on their songs, nor the NUMBER of nominations. I don't even know what these stupid criteria even are tbh? BTS completely participate in their music. Anyhow, I loved loved loved this VLIVE, and I felt so much more supported as an ARMY. I know a lot of others say that they hope everyone actually listens to what he has to say and I completely agree, don't let those haters have any attention, FOCUS ON BTS ONLY. And also, I know one thing that is WAY bigger than a scammy... just to those who hate on BTS... erm... they were awarded the cultural merit and were appointed as special presidential envoys by their own president... I'd say that's IMPACT, BTS did that. They are worthy and should be acknowledged for their artistry. Thank you for listening to my TEDTalk. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Courtney can do it with a broken heart

Hope you feel better now.. fighting!!

hello

jergens lotion

Familia the reason Joon was asked about a tattoo on the butt is cause on WEVERSE, Tae mentioned that Yoongi had the idea of the members getting friendship tattooes on the butt cheek hahhaa
