We are elated to see that we have some EXTREMELY knowledgable ARMYs who are willing to help and share their knowledge/expertise with others. If any of you are interested in volunteering to provide short virtual “tutoring sessions” to us and/or others in the future (a...

Today, we provide you with a snippet of our reaction to BTS’ “Hip Hop Lover/Phile.”
We’ve been waiting for months to listen to this song. And rest assured…IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
As ABBIE S. stated, this song is “a must for any hip hop fan reacting to BTS.”
And M M described the song as a “try to see how many hip hop/rap references you can get game.”
We were up until 5am this morning recording our full reaction to this song. It led us to places we did ...

When we first clicked play on this song, our reaction was: “Hmm...”
By the end, our reaction was: “I like women, but…”
From Annie to Kendrick Lamar to Chris Brown…we were not ready (as per usual) for this unpredictable, yet highly stimulating and inspiring roller coaster ride.
Here are some of our takeaways / random musin...

We’ve always been enamored by VICE and their particular style of journalism/ coverage of the “wild, weird and wondrous” stories in the far reaches of the world.
Today, we decided to finally check out a VICE video that has been popping up on our YouTube “recommended videos” feed for an entire year!
Very rarely does this world get an inside peak at the life and innermost thoughts of a former BTS trainee.
Here are our takeaways:

Agust D (The Tongue Technologist) and Jimin (the most underrated rapper on the planet) were DRIPPING IN SWAG DURING THIS LIVE PERFORMANCE…WOW.
Today's reaction video is a continuation (sorta/kinda) of a reaction video that we posted on our YouTube channel, where we listened to “VIBE” (by Taeyang & Jimin) for the first time! If you haven't already seen that video, go check it out now and then come back. We'll be waiting for you…

ARMY, get ready for a Mini-Bon-Voyage-Marathon today!
In addition to Episode 3 of Bon Voyage, we decided to catch up on the “BEHIND CAMs” that we missed from Episodes 1 & 2.
Our Takeaways:
Horny Donkeys (thanks Ashleyder 😉). Wild Horses. Cruel Pranks. FOOOOOOOOD. FOOOOOOOD…AND MORE FOOOOOOOD.

In his book, “Outliers,” Malcolm Gladwell asserts that the key to achieving true expertise in any skill is simply a matter of practicing (albeit in the correct way) for at least 10,000 hours.
This notion has stuck with us for years. So much so, that at the very beginning of the pandemic (when everybody was stuck at home, and schools weren’t yet fully equipped to transition to remote learning for students), we partnered with our younger sister to create a challenge for kids in our ...

These games are getting more and more complex! But that pizza looks 맛있는.
Today, our minds go for a MAJOR spin, as we try to understand the rules of the games that the members play. Though the first game was a bit easier to comprehend than the second game…they both stimulated NEUROGENESIS in our brains.
We have a few quick questions for all of you:

Times Square on New Year’s Eve is…THE PLACE TO BE.
Though we have never been there to experience it for ourselves, ever since we were young children, we’ve been tuning into Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve and the many other live New Year’s Eve broadcasts. When we heard that Hobi was making his way to New York to perform on New Year’s Eve, we thought…WE MUST GO. And then we got sick :/

This was an incredible performance that exceeded EVERY SINGLE ONE of our expectations. And it was exactly what we needed to end 2022 with.

We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate the holidays than with a reaction to V’s new cover of “It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas.” Are we sure this man wasn’t born in the 1950’s?!

Ten different genres. A roller coaster of emotions. From the personal to the universal.
“Indigo” is a project that will certainly live long like a quiet meadow. The Album Magazine Film introduced us to a whole new layer of context and understanding. Seeing each of the artists featured on “Indigo” share their praise and commendation for RM made us appreciate and respect RM even more than we already do.
Aside from his sincerity and open-mindedness, RM has the rar...

THIS ALBUM WAS A FRENETIC JOURNEY.
The wildly unpredictable transitions from song to song kept us alert at all times. We literally had NO IDEA what sound we would hear next.
“INDIGO” felt like RMs attempt to test the limits of his creative genius by adopting (and adapting to) the particular styles of artists who he DEEPLY admires. Each song felt ...

This poll contains three highly popular V solos! We'll be choosing ONE to react to and do our usual deep dive and analysis 😊
