American Hustle Life - Episode 3

Awww V is so innocent and sweet. I really hated how he got treated in the beginning. He didn’t deserve that. He really is too sweet. He would be my 3rd bias if I had to pick one.my second would be Hobi. But my ultimate bias is Jiminie of course. He is a whole package seriously.

DT I think the reason JIMIN was taking this so seriously was because 2 of the guest dancers were being rude/disrespectful. He’s so intensely loyal and respectful, I think to him it was more about respect than anything else. That’s why lasers were coming out of his eyes,.. lol ....he liked the b-boy dude but not the other 2. To him it was more than win/lose. he couldn’t stand his hyungs getting disrespected. Even Hobi was getting annoyed, and when the sunshine line gets annoyed, it ain’t pretty for anyone lol

Just because people don’t agree with you doesn’t make them a solo stan, anti.

You know after watching more of American Hustle Life, I feel like Coolio is a nice guy but I also think that he assumed these boys came from an easy and privileged bg without having suffered. He was pretty cocky and p.rejudiced with them at first.

I hope by sharing this link here, you will be able to watch it and react to it. It is 1 hour long. This analysis very informative and very intellectually put together by a Dr. I hope you will find it interesting. https://youtu.be/Uaj1X76h2mQ

Patricia, you really had to pull the “you are a solo stan” card after being called out for spreading misinfo about Jimin? As if accusing those who defend Jimin as solo stans will automatically make your point valid? Thing is, the reason why Jimin solo stans exist is because of ot7 stans who claim to love all members but only see Jimin as the cheerleader or caretaker of the group. They will only speak about him when he does something sweet and nice to their fave. But when he shines and achieves something they are all SILENT. Ot7 stans will never acknowledge Jimin’s achievements, they will never correct, or worse, even spread misinformation about his official position in the group and his background in dance. Jimin is a humble person. It is very easy for him to praise the other members yet he will not brag about his talents and skills but that is not a reason for “supposed” ot7 stans to downplay his abilities. Him being humble doesn’t change the fact that he is multi-talented and multi-skilled and that he has outstanding credentials. If you have no problem praising other members, then why can’t you do the same for Jimin? He is also part of the group, right? Stop twisting Jimin’s words to fit your narrative that he is not good at this or that. There are videos showing the things that he can do including freestyling, but you ignore those and focus more on twisting his words. I have no problem with you praising Hobi, but do not ever discredit Jimin’s background. If you claim to be real ot7, you will be happy when a member gets acknowledged for his talents, right? Since Jimin is part of BTS, shouldn’t you be happy for him too? Also, please don’t ever act more superior than solo stans or try to preach why people should be ot7. We all have the right to stan in whatever way we like. Ot7 stans are not in any way better than solo stans. And solo stans are NOT automatically antis of other members. If this fandom will be run by ot7 stans who always downplay and question Jimin’s talents and achievements, then how are you ot7 in the first place? And if being ot7 is like that, how is it good then? Doesn’t that make your ot7 claim as fake? Doesn’t that make you ot6? Which is better now, a fake ot7 who shows love for all 6 members except Jimin or a solo stan who only focuses on one member but never talks bad about the others? You said you’ve been a fan since debut but how come you spread misinformation about Jimin? Again, Jimin is good at freestyling. He has always been. Stop talking about his background and make them sound like facts if you don’t really know anything.

Honestly, in terms of dancing and fitting it to a beat, twerking is one of the easiest moves to fit into a choreography.

DT, Tony is a professional basket ball player. I don't remember which team he plays for. Yes, it was 4th of July Holiday. I am so glad you are enjoy8ng this. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

There are videos in which you can clearly see Jimin freestyling in competitions at a very young age and from what I know he always won. People who don't want to hear about that fact have chosen to deny it because it doesn't feed their narrative about Jimin. Also, Jimin is the first person to always deny that he is really skilled at anything, this should be something well known in the fandom. Isn't it funny: Everytime Jimin talks himself down when it comes to his skills a lot of people instantly believe him. But when there are videos etc. which showcase how skilled and versatile he really is then it is "solo stan behaviour" to point that out. I am not a solo stan but even if I were one - in which way would that make my point less valid when there are videos who showcase Jimins skills in these areas?!

I knew Jhope was an amazing dancer and that he was in a dance crew before but after watching this I was just so impressed. He is just such a good teacher, he managed to take Jins skills into consideration and still make a cool choreo that helped Jin improve and Jin had such a good attitude too working hard early in the morning to practice. Great teamwork.

???! So if we correct a mis-information related to JIMIN's dance then we're SOLO STANS ?! imagine the amount of bs some armys would say about jimin if pjms (Jimin’s stans) didn't keep them in check. People like you call them self ot7 and always use jimin’s humbleness and respect toward the other members against him. Don’t use jimins words. he'd never call himself the best. He says it to every random kids they're better, lol he is THAT humble‬. Jimin is so down to earth and humble, he will always be the first to give others compliments while putting himself lower than the rest. You’ll never see him bragging about his talent or feeling egocentric about it. If you would do some research maybe you would know that jimin is best at freestyling and he actually choreographed some of the most iconic bts dance moves in their mvs. Jimin did popping and hip hop/freestyle before contemporary, before meeting jhope and joining bh. He beat a hip hop dancer teacher in a competition when he was a junior in high school. lets be honest, Jimin can do whatever the other members can do (in terms of dancing) but the other members can’t do what jimin does and has potential to do. Secondly don’t twist jimin’s words for the sake of your narrative. Jimin was NOT uncertain to debut because of his Dancing, it was because of his short training period. Jimin became a trainee after all of the members' positions were set and was uncertain to join as a member of the "BTS.” While other members spent 3/4 years on training, Jimin trained for only six Months without vocal lessons before and made it to debut as the Lead Vocal and Main Dancer of the Group. we KNOW the repeated threats were not about his talents. If it were, they would not give him major titles. Bh didnt have real intentions to kick him out.The threats were purely emotional abuse to keep him in line, in my opinion. you can have your opinion. it’s all good, i respect that BUT do not use his words against him. There’s a thing called being humble, being respectful to the seniors. No matter how much armys claim they are ot7 and love jimin with all their purple heart they will never stop discrediting him or reducing him to being bts's cheerleader/caretaker. It’s sad but most army see him as a competition and not a member of the same group. Do not expect me to tone down my praise about jimin for your OT7 card, honestly, there's nothing wrong with being a solo stan as long as you're not toxic and not dragging others down and STOP forcing people to like and to praise your fave! We all have our own right! 🤷‍♀️ I am a proud PJMS (jimin Stan) and I love the music of BTS, which accompanies me every day. I buy their music because I love it. I listen to their music because I like it and I support them as I can but One of the many reasons why I can't be an Army is that I am not allowed to have the opinion that Jimin is the best dancer in BTS, that is called being a solo stan, yet calling Hobi the best dancer isn't considered as solo stan behavior, hmmmm fair enough I shall be a solo stan then.

Naima

how is pointing our their complete mis-info making us solo stans? im sick of armys speaking on jms dance experience if they dont actually know his full background. at least dt will see this and know the commets on "freestyling isn't really jms forte" and know its not true.

onlyastarion

Great observation! Everyone talks about Tony but if you pay attention to whats happening on the background scenes you 'll see Nate was a nice guy too and seemed to have a soft spot for V

sugaisagenius

Did you listen to Nate's interview with XCeleste? I just remembered that he talked a lot about his bond with V

I'm rewatching after a long while and my heart just gets lighter every time I see Nate and V together! I mean, now that we're past the first two episodes, pretty much all of the cast dynamics are great, but there's just something extra-healing about those two.

During AHL, BTS were making their second(?) album at a garage in LA. They had to practice for AHL missions/challenges AND recording their albums. They weren't able to sleep enough. It breaks my heart thinking of these days of BTS. They put 100% for everything. Their success is not a luck at all.

Rainbow

I actually i agree with you in many things and ignore the solo stans who think 1 member is pure perfection and other 6 can have flaws. They ignore the comments in this episode about the other members but when their fav is commented on, they go like omg how dare you say this.😂 just ignore them

TaeTae

Here comes the solo stans 🙄 people who are incapable of leaving a nice comment in any videos that aren't about their biases but as soon as someone says smth they don't agree they come out ready to throw a tantrum. I don't have time for this. All I'm going to say is that Jimin himself said this in the past, that he wasn't that good at freestyling. Contrary to the person who said I don't know him or BTS, I'm here since debut, I've watched almost all their content and I've seen rare interviews from the very beginning in wich he talks about his difficulties with this type of dance. It was common on some interviews that the hosts would ask for improvisation and freestyle and JM would ask jhope to do it with him or do it instead . (just as Suga would say he wasn't good at freestyle rapping and would pass the request to RM for example). Those interviews most new armys have never seen .JM have said it himself that he didn't know if he would debut because he had trouble adjusting his modern dance training to idol dance style (watch episode 153 of Take Care of my refrigerator and you'll see this words coming out of his mouth). Also I don't know why solo stans try to deny the fact that JM's debut in BTS was uncertain if he and the members have said it more than one time (they joke about it now cause it's all in the past, fortunately). It probably had to do with his shorter period of training, maybe they didn't know if he would be ready in time to sing and dance to a different style than what he was used to. What people don't realize is that it's one thing to dance hip hop/ popping or whatever as an hobby, on schoool festivals and be good at it and impress your friends and it's a completely different thing to do it as a coreographed dance in a band with 6 other people and numerous background dancers (wich is why, being hard working and perfectionist he said he would spend hours in the practice room, sleep there, eat there etc) i simply stated that he wasn't that good at improvisation back then (wich is different from saying he wasn't good at all). Now after many years in the field, of course he got super good at it. All the members contribute to coreograph now (as stated by Mr. Son Sung Deuk on a recent interview). Also, to the person who said jhope is my bias, no honey he is not, believe it or not is possible to talk about/praise all members and not just your bias. Solo stans need to chill. The reason this group is made of 7 is because all 7 are needed and all will bring something to the table. Your bias doesn't have to be good at everything, in fact they know they aren't. It's the variety of skills and differences between members that make BTS interesting .

sugaisagenius

dance battle....thats is where jhope comes from.

Not many people know that Suga did b-boying in the past. But because of his shoulder (accident) he couldnt do it anymore!

PIDDI

Oh and yes. It was the 4th of July 🎇

Vanna Leigh V

I love how objective Jenny Kita was with their performances. She was smart separating the 3J’s as she knew they were the strongest. I agree when she chose Jin & Jhope’s team ( not only because of the choreography) but she saw the work & effort particularly of Jin’s. Jimin & RM’s choreography (in my opinion) was the most complex I think & twerking wasn’t really that easy esp. they’re men (as what Jimin said) still they did well. The trio was so cute. Their performance was really entertaining but Jenny was right. It was too easy and kinda comedic. I can’t believe I am enjoying AHL now. I think it is best to watch it now than before. Can’t wait for your reaction to ep. 4. It’s getting better.

Vanna Leigh V

Jimin won because he's MFin' Park Jimin?!! ‪Like the lady said, Jimin has great musicality and technique which is what makes the difference between the guy who lost here and Jimin. Jimin is a true dancer, talented in many styles, which is very difficult. He makes it look effortless. ‬ It is very wrong to say that freestyle is not jimin’s forte cause Jimin freestyled many times both modern and popping. The whole hat trick sequence of WAB pt. 2 was Jimin's idea + he improvises his parts everytime. The viral part of 'Dynamite' MV is just him freestyling, same for the speak yourself VCR , Black Swan shadow part, etc. Well i know you wanna praise jhope’s dance but is it necessary to shade jimin in order to praise jhope??? when will some armys learn to praise their bias without bringing another member down it ain’t that hard. Anyway jimin is an awarded, versatile main dancer and voted #1 best dancer for a reason.

Naima

tysm for all the replies !! i’m glad some people realize jimin is amazing at free-styling and it’s why many call him he best and most versatile dancer in the industry !!

onlyastarion

I love this series! Jin my bias of course was fantastic!! He and J-Hope make an awesome team!! 💜💜💜

Lisa Hopkins

Jimin started studying, performing and competing (winning every competition) in hip hop, popping (in which he excelled) when he was 11-12 years old. To say he isn't good at freestyling/improv is just false.

Sunny13

do you not know jm? how can you say freestyle isn’t his forte when he’s done popping and hip-hop which included A TON of freestyle? i cant believe the likes in this comments spreading false info. there’s many clips of him free styling and he’s always been amazing at it. please don’t downplay that :( also dt here’s a video that does an great introduction to jm (some clips you probably haven’t seen) and really showcases how impactful he really is and how he definitely deserves the title of it boy, face of kpop, idol of idols, rookies bible, and so many more !! the clips showcase a lot do his popping and hip hop experience. https://youtu.be/otLwhsyWYTI

onlyastarion

you were hurting a bit for JM? freestyle is not JM’s forte? i think it is very wrong to say that freestyle is not jimin’s forte. before he studied contemporary dancing, he was into popping and hiphop as well which includes a lot of freestyle. if you pay attention to his predebut clips, you could actually see him do a lot of freestyle moves. in that specific dance challenge in AHL, his freestyle was actually really impressive. if there’s anything that hurt me about JM in that challenge was that the opponent disrespected him. but that’s it. he did an amazing job battling against him, he was calm and cool but he got the whole hiphop attitude. its not surprising at all that jimin won because he deserved it. jenny said it clearly. she chose jimin because of his musicality, precision and body control. also, in the past when the members were asked which member they would like to be during concerts, JK chose both jimin and hobi because they CAN freestyle. so i guess its not right to downplay jimin’s ability when it comes to freestyle because he has been doing it for years too. he literally improvises his performances on the spot. he made his own moves in MMA, he freestyled his moves in a concert VCR plus his slow motion dance for fake love, plus his moves in the dynamite choreo. the list of him doing dance improvisations is actually long.

luvpjm

To me, this shows again just how far hard work and a good attitude can take you. Those boys have worked so hard to get where they are, and it never ceases to amaze me that they never lost their innate goodness along the the way.

Grace Falahi

I loved the challenge, they overcame themselves, especially Jin who was considered 'one of the weakest' ... and won the challenge ... motivation and overcoming ...Good job...

Lindy

Jin’s traffic control dance is iconic!!! LOL Them saying “let’s avoid eye contact with her” when Jenny Kita asked who was gonna dance first was so funny. Also I think she is an example of tutor who did a great job dividing them into teams, she really understood their skills at that time. My heart was hurting a bit for JK and JM on that dance battle, I was worried JK got really hurt. In fact, freestyling and improv were not Jimin’s forte, but it’s good that she gave him the win because that guy’s attitude(pushing him)wasn’t nice. When J-hope stepped up I knew it was game over for the other team hahaha he is the king of freestyle, isolations and versatility like she said! V’s comment is on point: j-hope usually donwplays his own habilities and goes to a playful approach that results on many times people being oblivious to his outstanding skills. But it shows how humble he is and how he puts the team first. Back them some of the guys were still beginners and j-hope didn’t want to intimidate them, he did and still does everything to guide and help. Nowadays members have improved a lot and are so in sync that it’s hard to belive most of them never danced in their lives before bts. I liked Jenny Kita a lot, she gave them constructive criticism in a respectful and sweet way. And I felt proud of Jin for taking the challenge seriously and j-hope for being the best dance leader BTS could have, he deserves that position, no doubt about it.

sugaisagenius

I was laughing so hard in this one. I see why every ARMY needs to watch this series at least once. And seeing Hobi in his element was a treat.
