Bon Voyage S1E00

First time subscribing for bts 🥰

Gean Ercy Naluz

new here and very late, but when they said friend, they actually used chingu which means same age friend, so it doesn't mean the others aren't their friends, just that they aren't friends of the same age

el from space

New here. This was very hard to watch because the subs were too small. Hope the next episodes have bigger subs.

Bulletproof Girl

Eu kkkk

Josielle Silva

Minha mãe que me perdoe mas tenho que assistir todos os vídeos de vocês!

Samara Silva

Oiiii🇧🇷💜

Samara Silva

"Friends" in Korea means same age people. So Joon and Hobi are friends since they're both born in 94, so as Tae and Jimin in 95.

Zette JeonKim

honestly, I've been watching you guys since you first got into bts and I've been away for a little but I never knew you had so much content on here already! I was getting caught up on youtube but turns out I need to catch up here too!

Jess Min

holi from mexico! you are my very first patreon! i love your videos 💜

AdriBunny

I know I'm 3 months late and you probably won't see this but I wanted to say that (if you don't know yet) in south korea people are 1 year old the day they are born and they are 1 year older at each start of the year, so I think Yoongi and Jungkook were 23 and 18 years old respectively

Byeol☆

I'm new Patreon from the Philippines. I'm starting with Bon Voyage 💜💜

Se7enSouls Bulletproof

Y’all always crack me up with the intro/ outros lol I’m not un- subscribing promise lol

Daniela

and about that 6 years of jhope and rm living together even though its just 3 years after they debuted is because of their trainee years. jhope and rm are trainees for 3 years and theyre one of the first members of bts alongside with suga. thats why they said they lived for 6 years together and been friends for a long time even before bighit casted jin, v, jimin and jungkook

Shiene

what they meant about the friend thing is someone at their age. that doesnt mean they all arent friends.

Shiene

Same, when I heard you were doing Bon Voyage and Run BTS here, I just had to sign up with your Patreon.

Kay

I just watched your Hobi bday video over on youtube and when you mentioned that you're doing Bon Voyage reactions on Patreon, I signed up right away! I've watched all seasons of BV but I'm excited to be re-watching them again with you guys! Btw, this is my first ever Patreon sign up :D

simsimhae

The friend thing means same age friend so the 94s in this case.

juro

like idk if im the dumba ss and should have just guessed that was the case but i legit thought it was just early access stuff

Shafaq

bro yall need to promote that fact that u post exclusive content on patrein ur youtube videos more bc i just finished watching wired interview reaction and just randomly clicked your patreon link and immediately subscribed when i saw there was exclusive content on here lol

Shafaq

Oh! This is truly one of my comfort "shows" especially since it truly shows themselves traveling independently, something I want to do one day, showing their chaotic yet responsible sides. I just can't wait to see y'alls journey watching these guys it's genuinely lots of fun and heartwarming brotherhood you see. 💓

Marcela

I can explain how Korean age works if that helps! It has been abolished as of 2023 and the country uses the international age system now. Basically, it is understood that you are one years old at birth. It does not matter when you were born but everyone becomes a year older on New Year’s. In international age, Jin and Suga are the same age for nine months of the year because Jin was born in Dec ‘92 and Suga was born in March ‘93. They bicker sometimes about whether Suga should really call Jin ‘hyung’ when they’re essentially ‘friends’ (friends in this context means being the same age).

nina

Exactly like Michelle and Tumtan said, in Korean only people with the same age you can call "chinggu" or friend. If J-Hope went with Jin or Suga, he will be going travel with his hyungs" or big brother. And if he went with Jimin, V and Jungkok, he will be going travel with his "dongsaengs" or lil brother, or we called it the maknaes, the younger ones. There's so much differences hanging out with a friend or with the older one in korea. For example, if you eating with the elders, you cant start eating first before they do, etc. And they still carry that culture/attitudes untill now I guess.

Ash

The korean word for friend "친구" (chingu) is used to refer to a friend the same age as you. Since Hobi and Joon were both born in 94 they are "friends" (same with Jimin and Tae). For Hobi, the others would be referred to as hyungs (Jin and Yoongi) or dongsaengs (Jimin, Tae and JK).

K

IDEA Girl

RM and J-Hope trained together before the others got picked to train. So they were friends. Suga was there too. Not sure why he didn't have friend status. And RM really did "quit". He ran home. His dad told him he would regret quitting and talked him into going back. And you know J-Hope quit too. He was bullied and made fun if in training by the other 30 who ge trained with. He didn't fit in. He was told he was ugly. This happened even after he was signed. As you saw he wasn't popular. Didn't get fan messages or fan mail. The fans told he was ugly and should quit. Ha. So Ironic he is number #1 in the world now...looking handsome and suave on the red carpet

IDEA Girl

Came here to say the terms they call each other don't really translate well but everyone else seems to have done that already 😄 They're all besties!

Lauren

When they say friend it means the same age so taehyung and jimin r friends and rm and jhope are friends

tumtan

My only challenge on this format while watching this episode is the subtitles are so tiny especially watching from my mobile phone. I can't zoom in any bigger. Would you be able to switch your screen size so the episode is bigger and you guys are the smaller? I've seen it done on other channels. All in all - so excited to catch this with you and follow along on your journey! You're all amazing❣️💜🫰

earlene torres

I’ve been wanting to watch Bon Voyage with reactors that I like, which makes me so happy that you guys are doing it! Loved the first episode and I can’t wait for more. Can I request that you make either the subtitles or the screen bigger? I was squinting to read the subtitles and had to replay them a few times

Jody Henson

They’ve been together 6 years at this coz training takes 3 years sometimes. Jimin was the only one who trained for a year.

Mumbejja

When Hobi talks about a "friend", in Korean that means someone your own age, because you would use different words for someone older or younger than you. So it doesn't mean Hobi doesn't consider the others his friends, it's just that Namjoon is the only member who is the same age as Hobi.

Michelle Winchester

When will be bvs1 ep1 sched? Cant wait!!! I just sign up for this!!!! 🫶🏻

Ariane Ortiz

Yeaayy, I love Bon Voyage. And happy that you guys start from the beginning. hihihi. RM and Jhope called themselves a Friend because they were born in the same year (1994), In Korea Age is determine the hierarcy..so if people born in the same year they are a FRIEND, in BTS Jhope and RM is born at 1994 and JImin and V born at 1995 (for JImin and V they are also going to school together (high school) because at that time they already a trainee at Big Hit).

KSR Petite

I hope you start from Bon voyage s 4

Gebby

LOL SAME, but then remembered I could count on ARMY really knowing all the same stuff hahaha I knew someone had already informed them

jinjoo

It was J-Hope that said he had lived with RM for 6 years. Keep in mind that they were living together as trainees before BTS debuted. They all met as trainees, and some trained for years before their debut, which is how they are able to say that they've been living together for longer than BTS has been a group. And as for how it's filmed, they will have self-cams for some of it, but they do have a decent film crew that goes with them and follows them around, however the film crew is not allowed to help them except in emergencies (no matter how much they ask). They have to figure everything out on their own. When they travel as a group for work, their managers are usually the ones that book everything beforehand, check them all in for flights, ensure they have transportation everywhere they go, and make sure that all 7 of them stay together. In this, there will be a few things set out for them, but they have to figure out how to get there on their own. I'm really looking forward to you guys watching these shows. You're going to absolutely love them. There are 8 episodes, yes, but there's also the Behind the Scenes!!! Don't forget about those. Every episode has a behind that gives you extra footage (mostly from the self-cams). I hope you guys watch those as well along with the regular episodes.

Megan

It's my first and only patreon sub ~. I've been planning to rewatch bon voyage lately but the moment I heard yall are watching it here I ran to subscribe to watch it with you guys 💜

Blue

can't wait for the next one! Love the bon voyage series. Its a funny, comfortable place to escape to. I think you can be more casual here. we're here to hang out with you, like you said. you can relax too.

Echo

One of the things that I love most about Bon Voyage is that it teaches the boys real-life things that they wouldn't normally be able to do as idols. Checking in for a flight, buying tickets for public transportation, figuring out the route they need to take with that public transportation, ordering food in a place that doesn't speak Korean, how to handle problems that come up while in a foreign country, etc. They learned so many practical skills in this series and I love watching them learn.

Jessica McGuire

Canceled my Netflix subscription to join your Patreon haha

Jackie

So glad you’re starting bv! Just get ready to like the guys even more.

ali yana

The "friend" thing J-hope said refers to the Korean culture and their age system and hierarchy, it is not like they were not friends (at this point family) but it is just that in Korea your only "real" friends are people of the same age (there is a different age system but not really important right now because it is going to change to the international system soon), because people who are just one year older you have to refer to them as your elderly, to people just one year younger they have to refer to you as their elderly so only people same age can call themselves without any form of formal speech... very short explanation but hopefully understandable

Tereza Gáborová

I’m so excited that you’re starting this series. I’ve been following y’all’s BTS journey from the beginning and finally had to get in patreon after hearing so many great things about it. I can’t wait for y’all to start watching run too!! ☺️💜

Cassidy

My first Patreon subscriptions..love your reactions. Can't wait for you'll to reat to all the Bon Voyage seasons and The Rise of Bangtan

Saakshi Naidu

Welcome!!

CCW

First time ever joining a Patreon, had to do it cuz I really love your reactions so much💜💜 can’t wait to binge watch BV again<3

Tsoler

You guys are so cute! So happy to have joined tier 2 and start this exciting journey with you. You will finally discover why ARMY love BTS by watching their reality shows! xoxo

j

Yay!! I look forward to your reactions of Bon Voyage and In the Soop! 😊You’ll love it! 💜

Sandy Matias

Exactly.

Shell Whitt

There isn’t enough hours in the day to catch up on all the content! Hello fellow ARMY in your 50’s. I’m (gulp) 55, but with good Korean genes (thank heavens 😉)

Amy Hedges OT7

guys, are you going to watch behind the scenes of each episode too?

Laysla Emanuele

Please turn the volume up. Thanks 😊

Cat

In international age yeah

Tonya W

Not always 2 years. It depended on when in the year bc Korean birthdays changed over in January. P.s. I'm using last tense since SK changed to exclusively using international birth age this year

Tonya W

Ahhh I already can’t wait for the next episode 😅

Petrina Mcevoy

Is it including the Bon Voyage behind the scenes as well ?? 🥺💜

Samidare_tt

I have the translated comic they made (with their first anime characters the Hip Hop Monsters) where they explain the order they entered the dorm (not their training period cause some lived with their family during the training)

Ailaudy93

The word “chingu” in Korean means friend but specifically same age friend. RM/j-hope and V/Jimin are the only same age friends in the group. They’re all friends in the English sense; but JK Jin and Suga often talk about wishing they had a friend in the group or even how they don’t have many friends; so now you know what they’re referring to! Love these cultural differences. You also asked about the length of time together and I don’t think you’ve found it clear; RM & SUGA were the first members and were trained together for 3 years, next came Jin n Jungkook a year after, then finally Jimin 6 months before debut. In other words they’ve lived together for up to three years before debut. On debut JK V and Jimin were still at school which is why Jimin and V talk about being at school together; it was the arts school in Seoul they attended while being idols. None of them were friends in their hometowns; their friendships started by being trainees together at Big Hit. So when they talk about timings, you gotta count debut + 3 years 💜

Ayla

For the members, they have already been together even before they debut. They trained together. During BVS1, they would have been together for like almost 6 years, with Jimin the last one to join in 2012.

Lane. L.

They’re all friends lol what rm was saying about “wanting to go with a friend” has to do with going with someone his age bc in their culture everything to do with age is always such a focus. If he goes with older people then he doesn’t get as much of a say and may be always overruled, if he goes with someone younger… than he’s expected to always be in charge.. and as you will discover… namjoon isn’t the best traveler lol so going with someone if his age year would be more casual for that reason. The 7 of them have been best friends and brothers since before they even debuted … but they’d been all loving together for like 4-6 years at this point already all sharing one room for like 4 years . They’re all best friends already…. Thing don’t always translate accurately in English if that makes sense

Armystic

Hi CCW!!! I never really begin Bon Voyage and I'm excited to start it with you, my one and only on Patreon!! :) Go Tier 2! LOL

Ekkyla

I came to the comments to say the same thing lol

Dani

I can't wait to watch these with you. BV is so much fun. The guys are so funny and just genuine. You 4 are the cutest and I'm so glad I have been here from the beginning of your BTS journey 💜💜💜

Stacenator67

Even though I have already watched the entire season 1 of Bon Voyage, including their extra contents and behind the scenes, I am very excited to watch it again with you. Thank you and I look forward to your next episode.

BRENDA MURPHY

Yay!!! I’m so excited!!

Nancy Marshall

Just joined Tier 2! Can't wait to watch BV again with you guys♥

itsmekristinem

I can’t wait for you guys to watch more!!!

Bertha Tillman

This is exciting! Enjoy the journey.

Wendy Vogel

Ya when I first watched bon voyage I didn’t know they had behind/beyond the episodes so of course I went back to each one to rewatch and watch behind episode haha ( gave me an excuse to rewatch ) 💜

Jocelyn Lopez

Ya you can’t forget to watch the behinds the scenes because they have some really good funny parts like in the soop season 1 ep 7 behind the scenes when jk and Jimin drunk running around and then Jimin breaking mosquito net haha

Jocelyn Lopez

PLEASE, PLEASE enlarge the SIZE of the subtitles. It's very difficult to read.

Suga's iced-coffee

I like Gabriel's greeting "What up Tier2?!?" Lol T2 is a good nick name.

Rae Avilez

When they say age it’s in Korean age so always subtract 2 years to get their actual age, example: Jungkook was 18 here, and Vmin were actually 20 here

Gladeez

Jungkook had actually just turned 18 not 20 😆

Gladeez

I really loved this raw style of video…feels like we’re watching with friends! Bon Voyage and In the Soop are my comfort shows, I watch them when I need a pick me up! You’ll really see each member’s personalities in these types of shows. Can’t wait for episode 1!

Flip9880

I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS! ...Sorry for yelling 🤣💜

Emma H

Ahh the most chaotic season of Bon Voyage 😄 excited to watch this again! Fyi guys, the boys debuted in 2013, however they were already living together as trainees since way before then. Since you watched the guides, you'll know the order of them joining as trainees, with Jimin being the last. Since Namjoon and Yoongi were the first 2 to join, at the time of this interview, they had already been living together for 6 years. So all 7 were already bonded close but when Koreans say 'friend' or 'chingu' they mean people born in the same year. Since Namjoon and Hobi were both born in 94, they refer to each other as 'friend', while referring to Jin and Suga as 'hyung' (older brother), although they are equally as close. As for Tae and Jimin, also 'friends', they did not know each other before joining BigHit, they met as trainees in the company. And since they were of the same age, once they moved to Seoul, they started going to school together. They became really close as time went by and that's why everyone (including themselves) refer to each other as soulmates. You'll learn more of their close bond in seasons 2 and 3 of Bon Voyage. However, I hope with more content you watch, you'll come to understand that although each of them have different connections with the other 6, all 7 are very close, as anyone would be, living together for so long and going through the grueling training and then finally, debuting and continuing as BTS for this long. It'll take way too long to describe each special relationship and its background, like Jin and Kookie or Kookie and Tae etc. but the more content you watch, you'll see them mention these themselves. So just sit back and enjoy guys! 💜

PJ

Loved your reaction! If possible, can you make the captions larger in the future?

Dara Lee

Loved it! Can’t wait for the next episode 💜

Julie

I've seen this season like 5 times, out of all the bon voyage seasons this one is my favorite one, I watched this live & had to wait for each episode as it came out. I can't wait to watch it with yall again for my 6th time.

Abril Maldonado

You're welcome 💜

Infinite Ree

Thanks Infinite Ree. We can’t completely enjoy it otherwise. It’s very small.

Saphy⁷

Oh I needed this... Now I can't wait for the next episode.

Yasmine SB

When they say friends they mean someone of the same age as them in Korea, because it means you can speak informally and a bit more freely with that person without worrying about honorifics, that's all! All the members were already very close and had been living together for many years in 2016.

gabs

I live in Norway, the exact city they were in. I've literally been to all the places they are. It's crazy to me, but i didn’t know about them until a year later and saw that they were here. My heart dropped😩

Elise Kapstad

si, es solo 3 años después de debutar, pero mencionan que se conocen hace 6 por los días que fueron trainees, es decir se conocen desde 2010, con excepción de Jimin que apenas estuvo desde 2012 un año antes de debutar

Majo Cabr

They before debut, were trainees so they live together. When the metion age and in the rise of bangtan is korean age

Jorge Simões

Asians also have a lot of air pollution (fine dust) and regularly used masks to protect their lungs way before the pandemic.

Paula

Excited to go on this journey with you guys! And we get TRoB?! And hopefully, we will eventually get to In The Soop!!! And Hobi has his documentary out in Disney+ later this month and we got JK’s live today and Jimin releasing his album. What a wonderful month February is!

Yukari

As far as I know, non of the guys actually knew each other(I believe RM and Suga knew of each other because of them both being from the underground rap scene) until they became trainees. Jimin and V did go to school together, but that was after they joined BTS. They were sent to a performing arts kind of school.

DanielleM

I LOVE in the soop!! And the behind the scenes of both lol

Meagan

- "Bon voyage" quiere decir "buen viaje" en Frances. - Cuando dicen que es su primera vez filmando en su apartamento se refieren a "ese" apartamento. Antes vivían en el pequeño apartamento donde tenían que compartir una sola habitación, luego se mudaron a este apartamento (2016) y en el 2017 a otro hasta que finalmente en el 2018 se mudaron al lujoso apartamento en Hannam donde vivieron todos juntos hasta más o menos 2021/22. (Es el apartamento que sale en el mv de "life Goes on", tambien en la reacción de su nominacion al grammy y festa 2022,... ) Gracias por todo el contenido 💜💜 Son los mejores.

Leidy Sanchez V

So excited for the next episode - I think you will really enjoy the series. A great insight into their personalities. Great new intro - very professional. Great job guys 💜💜🇦🇺

Chris Drady

that was a lot of fun watching with you guys! can't wait for all the things in the future you have planned!

indira lusthoff

The new screen transition thingie was smoooth! Nicely done 👍🏼 Another enjoyable watch guys! Can’t wait for the next one! 💜 As always, your intro & outro are adorable 😂😄💜

Atutami

amo como vcs reagem aos meninos, vcs vao amar esses novos conteudos deles e vao amar ainda mais eles.... boa sorte

Mary Martins

Excited for next week !!! Love bon voyage and also when you get to in the soop because that’s when you get to see there personality’s 💜

Jocelyn Lopez

since the first SARS in japan, decades ago, many Asians wear masks, at work if they are sick, or when they travel, or are in close quarters. In fact, if you have a cold or flu and don't wear a mask, you are considered rude. ESP in Japan, Korea and Hawaii. They were together before they debuted, some longer than others, Jimin was the shortest pre debut at 6 months. also V and Jimin went to high school together in seol, they were both in HS when they debuted. they were jr and sr. yrs in high school before and after debut.

Sunny Young

Sameee

Maeee

Can’t wait to next week. EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Laysla Emanuele

sooooo excited!!!!

Maeee

Exciting! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the early days 😆

ada

So many ARMYs already explained the friend thing and the years of living together as trainees before debuting. That said, I am so SO excited to rewatch this with you all! And with Rise of Bangtan also coming up, I just can’t wait to see you guys in the next one! 💜💜💜💜

Trish Pañares

The whole thing about Namjoon saying he wants to go with his friend is kinda a weird translation thing, basically in Korea the word used for friend that Namjoon uses technically only refers to people who are the same age as you (older friends like Jin for example would just be referred to as Hyung) so him calling J-Hope his friend isn’t saying the others aren’t his friends it’s just that Hobi is the only member who is his friend that’s the same age

Abby J

Omg can we get episode 1 now?!!! Lol I’m ready for you guys to enjoy the travels with the boys!!!! 🤩🤩🤩

raeven b.

About the "friend" comment, in korea, there is an age hierarchy, so you have to use formal language with someone older than you, even if it's just by a year, and you use informal language with someone younger or the same age as you. BTS had been together for a very long time since before debut, so they already have a brotherhood, it's just that since people with the same age are on the same level in the age hierarchy in korea, you consider them a friend, but that doesn't mean ur not close with the other people older or younger than you

Bangtanlicious

I’m gonna bring all my moots over to Patreon, we wanted to watch Bon Voyage with genius reactors, who’s better than our primos 😂😂😂 let’s start this journey together with primos y’all 💜💜💜💜💜

violene vincent

I agree with all the previous posts also, lets keep in mind when they refer to their ages they go by the korean age system, which will make them 2 years older than the international age what everyone else in the world follows, thankfully Korea will change to international age this june 2023, so they will be just like the rest of us.

Melissa Guilbe

So excited about this! Just curious if they've mentioned how often they will upload on this tier. I may have just missed when they mentioned it 😅. Whatever the amount, I'm excited!! 💜

Amy Evans

I’ve been an Army for 4 years and I’ve been saving Bon Voyage for a special occasion to watch. Looks like now is the time!! So excited to go on this journey with all of you 💜

Aryam Monge

he said it also in the YOU QUIZ interview and he was very serious

Arte

Loved the reaction. It’s going to be loads of fun rewatching some of the content I haven’t seen in years again with you guys. Just a heads up for later on with Bon Voyage and In the Soop -there will be “Behind/Beyond the Episode” additional footage, usually about 5-10 minutes that gives little snippets that were cut out for time on the episode. Sometimes, this is where we find the funniest, most chaotic content about the trips. It would be nice if you could react to that “extra” along with the episode, but even if you don’t have time for it, please check it out, as I think you’d enjoy it. Sending good wishes.

Ali

This is so exciting!! You are absolutely going to enjoy every episode!!! I literally just finished up watching the 4th Bon Voyage season yesterday in preparation for this. I wanted to make sure I got to watch them before so I could better follow along!! YAY BON VOYAGE!!!

Patricia Fraga

Guys I LOVED loved loved the reaction to the very first episode zero and I almost cried because I can’t see the second one until next week! 😭😭😭 Also loving the cheering sound effects Daniel 😂😂🥳🥳 Ok so far Wednesdays from now on is my favourite day of the week! 😁💜

Betty Suwan

Hope you don’t mind editing or deleting this so they don’t get spoiled 😬💜

Chantelle

No spoilers pls! 😅🫶🏼

Chantelle

This is so exciting! I cant wait to rewatch with you!

Maritza Islas

I think it's very smart to not edit these types of videos. It's too much work for Xen and just not necessary since it's not going up on YT anyway.

Amanda Michelle

I thought Jimin was just joking when he said he was kicked out 8 times. I don't think anyone actually kicked him out.

Amanda Michelle

So... BTS lived together before their debut. At the point of this recording, they had lived together (in an apartment) for 6 yrs .. Their debut was in 2013 the first BV was in 2016. If I am not wrong, they lived together 3 yrs before their debut

JH

Bon voyage is my comfort show Can't wait to re-watch with you all🥰

munchie

Leeh Marx

Can't wait for more episodes ah!

Zoe

Because of the hierarchical age culture in Korea, technically the only people who you can call a 'friend' is someone born the same year as you. These are also the only people who you can use casual language with. Anyone older or younger than you must be referred to by a more formal term than 'friend'. This is why you hear the word 'hyung' (meaning an older brother of another male) used so often by BTS; it's the more formal word for younger members to use to refer to or speak to older members. JK must use 'hyung' to talk to all the other members because he is the youngest. When he calls them, he says 'Jin-hyung!' or 'V-hyung!', etc....

Amy Rustand

I'm really enjoying watching this with you all haha. I didn't have to comment what I was going to because literally everyone else already did hahaha

Andredayyy

Gah! I feel like I'm wanting for more!! 😫 Ahaha 😅 It's been a while since the time I watched BV, I hardly can remember each detail. Really excited to rewatch with you!! 🥰 It'll be so nice to see our boys enjoy themselves. I'm happy they got to experience this coz right now, they can't go to a place anymore by themselves 🥺😓 So when the members call each other "friends" they only meant that with like someone their same age. You know how they respect the ones older than them - even just a year gap is a big thing. That's a big deal in their culture. Even Yoongi can't say that Jin is his "friend" unless Jin says that he can "drop the honorofics". So they can't really call Jin by his name alone. Even for JK for Chim and Tae. He always use "hyung" with their names. 😊 But yeah all of them are more than friends, they're brothers 🥰💜 May I just pls ask how often are you going to release BV? Like would it be every Wednesday or just like every other week? 😊 Again, thanks for this! This will be such a genuine and authentic journey for all of us outside of music. Borahaeeee 💜

J-Lee

I'm loving your genuine reactions. I can't wait for you to really dive in there. I recall you saying that you have plenty of time while they are doing personal projects. Know this, I'm a newer ARMY. I'm 51. OT7 but Kim Namjoon tugs at the heart strings. Started in 2019 and it has been the best thing for me. Really was going through a bad time and I ran across this chaotic YouTube video of these guys acting their normal selves. I've never turned back. But I'm still finding more and more content. I jokingly refer to you as Sumdan and Abigabe. I've watched your yoga pt 1 so many times because your reactions remind me of how I was watching their first video. You are such a joy to watch. Enjoy this ride. Thank you

Shell Whitt

When you heard 6 years, that means their training period before debuting as a member of BTS. They were casted as trainees first rather than an official member. As a trainee you will undergo dance, singing, performance lessons, tests and they are cutting someone after an evaluation. Fun fact though, Jimin was almost kicked out of the team 8 times before debuting as an official member of BTS 😅

Miguel Angelo Ildefonso

I’m so excited to watch this again with you guys! This was the first show I watched after I became an ARMY in late 2016. There will be a lot of things to learn along the way especially with the terms they use because of the language and cultural difference but don’t be afraid of not knowing it. Patrons will kindly provide information and you can always search on the internet. I sincerely hope you enjoy watching the episodes! 🫶🏻✨

ceej

As far as the friend thing, in Korea, it refers to someone being the same age as you. But for us, it may feel like it's because RM, Suga, and Hope have known each other longer. They were the first 3 members of BTS. And yes, Jimin and V, also the same age, went to the same school before debuting with the other members. They are all close friends (family), but even so within the group, some pairs just go together. V and Jimin, Hope and Suga, Hope and RM, JK and Jin, and so on...😊

OT7Bangtan

Before debut, there was a period of trainees. From 2010, the members joined one by one as trainees. The members didn't know each other before.

ChihcLai

Im really excited for this since I still haven’t watched it, I’ll be watching it for the first time with you guys💜 looking forward to it, thank you💜💜

Marcy Turney

omg ahhh i've actually never watched BV season 1 myself, so i'm so excited to watch along with you guys. I know the popular moments that are usually in compilations so it'll be fun to see the full trip with you!

gagan

Yeah !! Bon voyage is really fun. You will really get to know them, how they are off stage...

Priscilla Denis

Literally was going to comment the same... including You Quiz, which is waaay up there in terms of being full of insights and back stories, etc.

You are going to Love Bon Voyage. You are going to see the personalities of every single member. I recomend also The Hustle Life, when they were sent to LA to learn hip hop. Kisses from Brazil

so when Hobi mentioned 'friend' he meant of the same age group which is namjoonie. Also, all the members were living together way before their official debut meaning they had more than 3 yrs under their belt at that point. Anyway, it was fun hanging out with you guys. will be looking forward to more eps. Borahae

BV will be weekly 😊

3rd anniversary, 3 years since debut but they are together for 6 years here including their trainee days.

purpleOT7

Excited. Ive watched all seasons if BV an unhealthy number of times already but I would love to watch it again with you💜

They don't really consider each other as friends. They are family, and you don't consider your brothers as friends. The members who do call each other a friend, is because they are the same age..94 line for ex. They really have a family dynamic.

Treebella77

Yea im waiting for them to watch in the soop 💜

In Ref. to how long they knew each other, it helps to remember they were trainees first before their official debut. The trainee period differed for each of them, but the first ones to join in 2010 were together the longest. Jimin was the last to join and only had six months as a trainee before their official debut. So for some of them, three years after debut was six years after they met, if that makes sense. Jimin and V went to school together because they were the same age. Jimin and JK are both from Busan but didn’t know each other until they joined BTS. Also, their international ages Are different from their Korean age. I always go by their birth year rather than how old you hear them say in videos since they use their Korean age (until recently.) I would love for you to react to New Quiz on the Block. It’s fun and very informative!!! Love being part of your new Tier!!! Thank you!! 💜 (sorry if this is redundant. The other comments won’t load for me)

Just joined!! Happy to rewatch the BV series with you guys.. It's fun to see them grow season after season.. Looking forward for more episodes!!

boraveena

None of them knew each other before joining Big Hit, but they were training for a while before debut so that's why they don't say that they've known each other for 3 years (since 2013) but longer

zaphyre

Tae and Jimin went to school togther after they became trainees, all of them didn't know each other before they auditioned

So excited for this. Also, I don't want you to think they weren't close back then because they were. They'd already been through a lot together & bonded over that. When they say a friend, they're referring to someone of or close to the same age. For example Hobi would be Namjoon's friend as they're both 94'. Jin is 92' & Yoongi is 93', so they are his hyungs and the maknae line are obviously all younger than him. I believe friend is like someone you can more casual with.

1. They lived together while in training, for some since 2010. 2. ...deleted since many others explained "friend" 3. When they are saying how old they are here, they are referring to their Korean age.

Lisa M T

They all lived together before debut, so the members that joined the earliest have lived together the longest

Khadijah(deejahkosmos)⁷

The video not so clear & the subtitle very blur. Is it only me got this problem ? I can't adjust the quality of patron video to HD...

Stephy L

So in Korean, when they say "friend", they mean someone of the same age. That's why Hobi mentioned Namjoon as a friend

Khadijah(deejahkosmos)⁷

All 4 seasons of bon voyage are amazing and just so iconic! Each season is a different year so like s1=2016, s2 2017, s3 2018, and s4 2019. Then there's in the soop season 1 which was during 2020 so they couldn't travel to other countries so it's more of a staycation in Korea, and in the soop season 2 is in 2021 and they did another staycation in Korea. Can't wait for you to see all of the above, both series are so much fun

Amanda P

I loved ittt, I can't wait to see the next episodes!

Juliana Ariza Daniells

*REQUEST* In future episodes is it possible for you all make the captions larger? I'm not sure if anyone else had an issue, but my eyesight is not the best and I struggled a bit.

Infinite Ree

2013 only was their debut but they were together earlier than that. Rm,Suga,Hobi i think since 2010 during their trainee period. Jimin joined 2012 and during trainee period they're still going to school together. There are times that the boys picking up JK at school and they are the one packing JK's lunchbox as well specially Jin. I think you will understand more at The Rise Of Bangtan documentary.

Miz Ann

I wanna say so much, but it would spoil it. You guys are gonna love BV. The reason you hear "Fire" so much is that the song/MV came out around that time. When this video starts you can even see the members wearing clothes from the Comeback Special on SBS Inkigayo 2016. One of my favorite parts is their grocery shopping, lol. I cannot wait to rewatch this with you guys. 🤗💜

Friend in korean means person of the same age, that's why RM and Hobi kept talking about going with a "friend" :) Jimin/V and Jhope/RM are the only "friends" in bts as it is translated from Korean, because they are the only ones who are the same age.

Elsa

How come I never saw episode 00 I bought the episodes but I only saw from 1 onwards and I saw the interviews on Youtube 😂😂😂 I love it thank you very much I want to see the other episodes

Bere Muñoz

1) 'friends' are people the same age as you. They are all obviously friends but the word has a different meaning to them. RM & J-Hope, V & Jimin are friends 2) they have lived together because they were all trainees. They lived together with a bunch of other possible bts members before they were chosen. Namjoon,Yoongi and Hobi knew each other since 2010 and after that Jin,Jungkook and V came in 2011 followed by Jimin in 2012 so it's been different years of knowing each other between members 3) remember their age is in korean age. Jungkook was like 18 or sth I think [4) just to clear up if you are confused: None of them knew each other before bts.] I think the reason why they are so nervous to do everything alone is because they never had to. When they were children they had their parents and since they are teenagers they have staffs so they never had to learn it haha I'm excited to see your future reactions to bon voyage

Gabriela

When they say "friend", they mean same age people. Koreans only refer to same age people as friends. Boys call their elder brothers "hyung", younger brothers as "dongsaeng". So techinally, the pair of friends in bts is Jimin and V (born in 1995) and Namjoon and Hobi (born in 1994).

Shna Faruq

hi. the "friend" translation has some context in it and i think it's the closest translation. you know South Korea is soo big in hierarchy when it comes to age, and when they say "friend", it may mean someone their age who they dont have to do honorifics with recently they had a video wherein they were discussing what will happen 30 or 40 yrs from now, and the subtitle shows them saying "where we're 60, we are all friends". so that means they dont need to do honorifics by then

cLyNeSnOw

in korea when you are the same age as someone you call them your “friend” because you can talk comfortably without using honorifics like “hyung”. So in the group RM and Jhope are considered friends because they are both born in 1994 and V and Jimin are friends because they were both born in 1995

Ha ha the editing! BV1 volume levels are a challenge🙃 Once you get into the next seasons you will see how much they level up on the sound editing lol🫶🏻💜

SugaIsMyPetRock

when are you going to watch the 1st episode? Hope you watch it at least once a week same with run bts.

purpleOT7

Oh ok thank you, btw I love y you guy’s videos I’m on this journey with y’all. I don’t know if you guys know this, but the concert that BTS had in Korea they actually film and it came out in theater today just for a limited time I’d totally request to watch it not to do a reaction but like you know to enjoy it

If you've already been charged for Tier 1 this month, joining Tier 2 will only charge the difference based on how many days are left. So in this case, $3 is the max amount you’ll be charged. But if you only have a few days before your next charge date it’ll be closer to $1. And then the following charge will occur on your normal charge date. *This is how Patreon handles their billing, not CCW.

purpleOT7

Sorry for the confusion. The $3 is the difference if you switch to tier 2 after already being charged for tier 1. Some were thinking they would be charged $2 and then $5 as soon as they switched

CCW

Haha this true, there are more benefits than for health reasons 😅

CCW

Even with the streamable link... Please upload it together.. 😂🙏

Wearing masks is very normal in Asia, long before Covid. A lot of the time it’s because of the air pollution/dust, prevent spreading germs, or if they haven’t shaved or put makeup on. Or they just don’t feel like showing their face 🤣

Nicole ♡

This is great. I prefer the raw footage. The bells and whistles are cute but not necessary. 🤗

Infinite Ree

You guys said tire 2 would be $3 but it’s showing me $5

leilamelysha jean

AAAAAA ESTOY TAN EMOCIONADA POR ESTOOOOO♡♡♡♡♡

Claang

Oh I am so so excited!!!
