(early access) Is DKDKTV a BTS CHANNEL?

You guys clearly aren't a BTS channel, while as an ARMY I found you guys through BTS content I stayed for the night drive series and became a Duck for the great in depth discussion of the Korean music scene.

i dont care. i love bts! just went to their concert and still need any info i can get my hands on even hate comments😅😅😅 so at least i can wake up from this addiction or whatever you call it😅 it gets rebutted most of the time though😬😬😬 just spread the love!!!

haze

wow im really surprised that you actually discussed the issue with your friends haha honored at the same time. and yes, the problem with explained is that there isnt enough, so thats why we're going back to older songs i think. Oh dang, the second paragraph is a really good idea! ooh you guys a genius imma tell it too danny haha thanks a lot

DKDKTV

yeah haters need to observe their opponents i guess lol

DKDKTV

Seems like BTS gets everybody to our channel and people stick because of other content too! which is exactly what we want haha. Thanks for reassuring us that we're not a bts channel lol

DKDKTV

wow that is a very detailed description on how you got to like our channel haha. actually i was talking about this issue with danny today content-wise and stuff. We'll maybe talk about it during the monthly council! Thanks for your support!

DKDKTV

Hey guys! Just got finished watching your “Is dkdktv a BTS channel?” video and was discussing with some friends. What struck me most was your comments about your Explained series. I have to say I LOVE the series, but when you started it, my reaction was “are they going to have enough idol content to actually explain?” You’re right, most kpop songs are basic and very surface level. I’ve been watching you guys for a couple of years so seeing your revamp in content is exciting, but I also know you’re probably stressed too. Here’s what my friends and I were talking about... and yes, we are obviously ARMY - why not cater to the ARMY audience without being so explicitly about BTS. Most of your audience is coming from a kpop background and may not necessarily care about general Korean music, but you can always try and delve deeper into subjects related to BTS. Without actually being BTS. For example, explained series for tiger jk or Nell; looking at the relationship between namjoon and tiger jk; perception of idol rappers in Korea; cypher 2 and the beef the boys had with bfree; major companies and their producers. Those are just some things I thought of while watching. Keep up the great work!!

I also came for your BTS reactions. I think I found your channel a little before Love Yourself: Her was released, and I watched all of the older BTS reactions in one day. I liked your guys' personalities and honesty, so because of that, I gave your original content a try (tbh I normally don't watch original content from reactors because I go to their channels specifically for the reactions). Even though I really liked your BTS reactions, I subscribed because of SCV (btw Danny I loved the bike episodes!).

NG

BTS got me to your channel. I've stuck around because of you two and the content you put out. Our lives couldn't be more different. I love seeing all the aspects of your lives that you share with us and also the insight into Korean culture. Seeing the country through your eyes makes me want to visit. I hope one day to make that dream come true. So, no. I don't see DKDKTV as a BTS channel. I see it as DKDKTV. Quack!

Mary Hodge

Not at all. We read all patreon comments!

DKDKTV

Too late to comment? This is your channel, you have your right to choose the contents. I can't recall how I came to know you two on Youtube but what make my like your Chanel is not the content with BTS, it's the Seoul City Vibes and some of videos where you guys honestly voice up you opinions. By the way, I like the new series, it's interesting and fascinating at the same time.

we will be filming a new SCV soon! any suggestions?!

DKDKTV

The Seoul City Vibes series is fantastic! It’s entertaining and unique; probably my favorite type of video that you make (though I enjoy your other content, too). There is something about seeing a city or country through the eyes of someone who lives there that is really fascinating.

Whit M

Everyone comes for BTS and stays for an additional reason! I love it! Thanks Samantha :)

DKDKTV

Ooh, BTS FRIENDLY! Thats a real good way to term it! and yeah i really wanted that TATA cup and i got it haha. Im glad that you watched our Seoul City Vibes as well, we've been reducing the amount of content since Explained and DK News but soon we'll come back with another one!

DKDKTV

haha thanks Sabrina! and never copy what danny did, its stupid to do :) but yeah we'll def try to make our channel more diverse as it is from now on!

DKDKTV

"you can't expect people to behave differently than they already do, and you're always going to piss off someone." this is gold. yeah i guess there is no solution to this problem. Haters gonna hate. but even for haters i wish they could at least see our other content haha. And yes our mental health,.. is not in good state. But thanks AMY for the warm comment.

DKDKTV

Yes, actually there are more severe comments but i just couldnt find them. Wish everybody could see those lol. But yeah we do try to attempt a lot of different things and I hope those things will be satisfying for you and our viewers!

DKDKTV

Aww thank you so much! ARMYs are good! If you have other video ideas that might be interesting or helpful to you, just leave a comment anywhere!

DKDKTV

Bye Dom.... lol. Yeah i really hope the d-k news sets us apart from bts channels. We're even gonna try to not talk about them on the news series that much!

DKDKTV

Exactly! I dont know why people can't understand that Bts is the biggest thing and topic in kpop rn? the data show it! We'll talk more about culture too! any suggestions?

DKDKTV

yeah we're already expecting that...

DKDKTV

Wow thanks a lot Camila! A woke ARMY indeed. We'll try to do more informative and funny content! And yeah people should really do their research! arggggh

DKDKTV

Haha and howd that bibimbap project go?! I appreciate your feedback on our balance of content. We really do try to self regulate ourselves. And we'll try to deliver more helpful content in the future as well!

DKDKTV

right. 10,000 is usually the plateau we hit for non bts or kpop related content. i guess people are just really into their fav or kpop in general

DKDKTV

ok i'll make danny laugh all the time then. thank you so much!

DKDKTV

Oh really?! like indian or brazilian? what do you think about us stopping reactions?

DKDKTV

yeah our bts related vids def get noticed the most. its pretty obvious, but sometimes we feel sad that our other content doesnt get even half the spotlight our bts ones get TT anyways im really glad that you enjoyed a lot of our non BTS content! we'll make more in the future so please stay close!

DKDKTV

ETA: Don't hold back on the BTS content... <3

Tricia M

I stan all the content! Love it when you guys get creative. Don't put yourselves in a box! Keep up the good work. I'd like to see some travel vlogs from you guys. I also really enjyed when you went to Jin's brother's restaurant and stuff like that. The makeovers were really over the top, too. Very cool stuff. Hit you with that baby shark ddu du ddu du...

Tricia M

I love all of your content! I first saw a BTS reaction which lead me to all of your other amazing videos! Love y'all <3

Samantha Lane

The first video I saw was your review for Burn the Stage. I was just so excited at how David wanted a Tata cup. So I am one of those people who mainly watch your BTS content BUT I have also seen your Seoul City Vibes content. I wouldn't say you're a BTS channel. Just BTS friendly, but actually the other Kpop items that I've seen, seem pretty friendly too. The hike of Danny and friend up a mountain was interesting. I felt tired by just watching. I do have to agree that it's kind of hard not to talk about BTS if there is a lot of news about them. It's also helpful for people who aren't Korean so we can understand the context of the songs in addition to just the translation. Anyways, thank you!

I love the diversity of your channel, there is always something new to explore! I first found out about you guys during my visit to Korea and I could relate to so many things and your sense of humour that it kept coming back! You drove with a Bicycle from Seoul to Busan Danny??? What? I need to go watch that, maybe I copy you next time I'm in Korea =P. Already took the train to Busan.. too many Zombies.. XD Keep it up!

Or until they are both married off and I get to see some 🐣 grandchildren - which ever comes first.

Heather Fosth

I LOVE THE EDITING! The flames, video game death scene soundtrack, scrolling Danny and David across the comments - all of it. GENIUS. Clearly, you aren’t a BTS channel. BTS is popular (for good reason) so everything with them in it gets traffic - especially for international fans looking for knowledgeable Kpop content in English. I came because of Seoul City Vibes. I’m staying because I have hope that I can save Danny’s soul.

Heather Fosth

Obviously you already know the answer to the question of whether you're a BTS channel or not. You'd be fools to leave that BTS audience and money on the table by not producing any BTS content, but you do a good job of balancing it with other stuff. I think the real lesson here is that you can't expect people to behave differently than they already do, and you're always going to piss off someone. (That's two lessons.) As long as you can internalize that you'll be fine. The challenge comes in the balance of creating content for likes and creating content that you love and that is meaningful to you. Finally, RIP your mental health for having to read the comments - what a nightmare.

Amy Brown

Woah some of those comments are like yikes! People are pressed! Anywho, I don't think you are a BTS channel, i 100% enjoy the BTS content though. You guys literally have so much other content but I guess some people just want to hate. I subscribed to your channel and joined Patreon bc of I like that you guys are trying different things. It's your channel and you should do what you want to do.

Mimi

Going to be honest I found you through the BTS explanation videos because I’m an ARMY but I’ve stayed because I genuinely enjoy all the content. You have a variety of stuff you touch on and when you do explain things it’s in a clear way thats helpful to people who would maybe not understand otherwise. Also I really enjoy the videos about eating or doing things for only 10000 won a day especially since I want to visit Korea at some point! 💜

Unsubbing. Lol jk; No I’d say you guys have a good amount of content that’s different than other kpop channels - especially now that you’re not doing reactions anymore. There has been a lot of BTS news/content lately so it makes sense that you would have a lot of videos on them. But imo the new DK News series disqualifies you as a BTS channel.

Dom

You're not a BTS channel. You do have a lot of BTS content, which as an ARMY I appreciate, but they are very relevant right now. You also cover many other relevant topics which I am very interested in, especially culture.

Bethany Grimes

Knowing how awful fandoms can be, I expect at least one comment of an EXO-L or Once pressed because you "said" that their lyrics aren't deep and at least one ARMY making fun of EXO because they don't have deep lyrics.

Camila

To be really honest, I am an ARMY and if you were just a BTS channel I probably wouldn't be paying for a Patreon subscription. Your channel has a lot of informative and funny content about K-pop and other Korean things and it's awesome, that makes you guys different and interesting. I think people are just too lazy to do minimal research these days and just assume that you only talk about BTS when they see a couple videos from your channel that talk about them.

Camila

I try to watch all your videos. Even Danny's ASMR! :) I discovered your channel while trying to find a video to make bibimap for my daughter's school project before I was an ARMY, so I like that you cover BTS, but I don't think you cover them too much. I watch the other explained videos, like Mino and APink and it's nice to have an intro to some other K-pop artists. (none can hold a candle to my boys tho!) I think your balance is fine. Keep up the good work!

Wendi Fitzsimmons

I’ve watched almost all your other content as well, I’m one of the 10,000 superducks (it seemed 10,000 views was a recurring number on non-BTS videos :-) ).

Erwin Blonk

Got here through BTS stayed cos of danny's laugh you guys are going great. Love you

Monica Silva

Lol Really BTS channel!!! I started watching you guys when you reacted to international music. Those reactions are priceless!! Also it’s not BTS’s fault for having actually interesting lyrics!! 😂😂😂 as for Seoul city vibes I find them quite interesting!! Love you guys!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👍👍💪🏼💪🏼

Wait I NEVER thought you guys were a BTS channel - and you guys have clearly stated that you guys talk about KPOP, Korean culture, etc. Sure, I was drawn to your channel because of you guys explaining Ddaeng, but afterwards I binged a lot of your videos, a lot of them not BTS focused. I think people just think you're a BTS channel because maybe your BTS vids get the most views/noticed the most? Anyway, keep up the good work guys!!

goldenkoobi

Lol out Koreanness. Well i guess we’ll have to keep on maintaining those vibes. And hope Holland comes back soon too

DKDKTV

You’re not a BTS channel? Unsubscribe!!! Just kidding. I came across your channel because of the Holland videos, I stayed for the... Not sure, I just stayed. It was probably your Koreaness.
