방탄소년단 BTS Spring Day MV & MV Explained | Reaction 

Be apart of our BTS journey on our patreon @Core4VT Reacts.

Spring Day is the queen of all BTS songs. This is one of the most controversial and bravest BTS song ever. It's a beautiful tribute that can be passed on to generations to generations. Since its released this song has been in the Korean chart till now and during spring this song would always goes up the chart. Hats off and so much love and respect to BTS for their brilliant minds, work and masterpiece. 💜💜💜💯💯💯💯

And because of this song not only that SEWOL incident and victims are remembered, but also their story are being known worldwide as the song reaches out different nations. This is why BTS is different, their impact is never just skin deep. Lovely reaction. Though you've said you did it backwards by having known the song via perf first before the MV, i think your familiarity of the song made your "MV explanation" reaction more beautiful.

i'll never forget when this song was released. till this day, korea has a huge attachment to spring day, it even still on the charts because of the love koreans have for it. it was a song that united generations, different societies, countries, races... all kind of people. this remains the most important song bts has ever made, even people who don't like kpop (or don't listen to bts) like this song. we have all been comforted by spring day in different situations of our lives. i am forever grateful to bts for this legendary song they created.

Thank you for reacting to this. Spring Day is the Queen of all BTS' songs and up to now it is still charting in SK. If you would like to know more about this tragedy, there's another explanation of this by an italian army, but just a t warning, it contains some real footage of the tragedy. Thanks again.💜

Thank you for this - Spring Day is referred to as the "queen", it is still in S. Korean charts since it came out in 2017, there is another explanation MV by the Italian Army, it has real footages from the tragedy. This song haunted me for months, and April 16th has been forever etched in my brain, which is the anniversary date for the Sewol tragedy. The melody and lyrics are so beautiful, it puts me to tears all the time.

Snowpiercer was directed by Bong Joon-Ho, same director that did Parasite. Thanks for this reaction, guys ❤️✌️❤️

This is one of the reasons why BTS & BigHit are on a different level… The music, the lyrics, the music video, the choreo, the live performance, plus the message! Just beautiful! Truly the Queen! 💜💜💜

This makes me cry everytime because it just makes me think of my children....those children are somebody's babies that they lost. I don't care how old my kids get they will always be my babies. I could never imagine that hurt and heartbreak. My condolences and prayers for all those parents and people affected by that tragedy 🙏 that's something that will never go away. 💔

I think Spring Day is a song that's respected by everyone whether they are army or not.

There is another explanation video by Italian army. It's not as well organized but has actual footage of the day, interviews, and points out more details in the MV. Warning: It's pretty gut-wrenching.

The QUEEN. I always get teary eyed when listening to this song. 💜💜💜💜

Another bangtan reaction....!!!!!! Praise be to God!👍👍👍

Damn...now I'm bawling my eyes out again....I've seen this explanation video before and since then I've never been able to listen to Spring Day without crying. Such a powerful message and well thought out scenes. They say that bts' music isn't for the unintelligent and I think this and Blood Sweat and Tears are solid proof. They really don't just make music for the hell of it, it's always purposeful 💜

Honestly this song still brings tears to my ears just thinking about all the pain the family's and friends of the victims had to endure in silence. It is the worst type of pain to lose someone so young without any answers as to why it had to happen that way

BTS... Making grown men cry since 2013.

whoever said they don't like long intros don't speak for the whole fandom, not trying to come off rude lol. i actually like long intros especially when yall talk about theories about the songs/mvs or express how you feel about bts, their music or just anything :) spring day is such an emotional, powerful, beautiful song. it's also the queen of their songs, it trends & charts every day since 2017.

Everytime i heard this song its bring me back the sewol ferry tragedy and its broke my heart into pieces 💔😭 this song was beautiful! You will really understand the song after you watch MV explained.

I haven’t listened to this song….like REALLY listened to this song since 2020. This song hits way to close to home and the memory I have associated with this song breaks my heart every time I even think or hear the title. I was on my way to visit my grandma (who was practically my mum and she raised me as her 12th child), in hospital and when I was about 10 minutes away from the hospital we got the phone call saying she passed away whilst I was listening to this song. It just makes me cry every time. I miss you grandma 🤍🕊️

Wow! Such a powerful song & video. As a new BTS fan, it makes me appreciate them even more. Over the last few months, I’ve gained such a deep appreciation for not only them as very talented artist…but more importantly, them as human beings. Watching some of the videos BTS Army posts on RU-vid has helped me to see little snippets of their individual personalities…they really do seem like genuinely amazing people. …and RM’s new album…Wow! It has been on repeat today. I’m a little sad that I am just learning about them as they slow down to do their individual projects and military service…but on the bright side, it gives me time to play catch-up. Thank you @Core4VT Reacts for introducing me to such a great group of young men.

The video from Italian Army actually has videos of the event and the families and things- hits so hard 😭

OMG I NEEDED THIS NOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH, GENTS!

not many people were actually speaking up about it because they could get blacklisted from the industry by the government so BTS doing it even in a subtle way was a risky move

This made me cry again.

I always weep silent tears every time i see this video explanation and thank you guys for showing much empathy. That’s why i love BTS they are not afraid to voice their feelings thru songs and at that time put their career at risk.

Just lots of emotions related to this song everytime i listen to this song just crying

Spring Day is the queen of BTS songs.

Beautiful Song

This song is legendary song by them it makes me cry every time i hear it

Spring day is a queen!! Loving the BTS reactions. Hope you keep reacting to BTS.💜💜

Yes...Spring Day is THE QUEEN of BTS chart....💜

You mentioned this, but yeah at the time of the tragedy the government didn’t want anyone speaking about it, so they were blacklisting anyone that talked about it, including celebrities, idols, etc. that’s why a lot of the message was somewhat subtle, bts and other artists put themselves in a dangerous situation even while being subtle. It took years before they could actually confirm that Spring Day was in fact a tribute to the Sewol Ferry Tragedy.

THIS. This is why no one is like BTS

Every year i happen to come back to this song and to the sewol ferry disaster and it makes me cry every time

I highly recommend "Vincenzo", it's about a Mafia Lawyer with a unique storyline. The plot and the cast are 10/10. It has mystery, action, comedy and plot twists. The characters and the plot were done incredibility well.

BTS Ghost Song. RM said, Spring Day is about missing his middle-school friends whom he hadn't to talked to for a long time. But the MV is definitely very brave of the team to indirectly reference the Sewol Ferry Tragedy.

thank you guys for posting. i really love you reactions 💜

to this day, spring day is one of my favorite BTS Songs. It’s amazing how every time i cry when i hear this song

Wow. I did not know how meaningful and deep this song and video was. Wow. Just wow. I'm so proud of them and thank you guys for reacting to this! 💜💜

Thank you for reacting and watching explanation videos. You will find that majority of BTS' music videos have explanation videos alongside them, especially those within the BU or BTS Universe (a fictional storyline built by BTS about the melodies and life of the youth). It's a deep, vast, yet wonderful dive into their musical artistry and variety so I suggest you guys check it out too. There are RU-vid playlists of the BTS Universe in order (including the short films and reels). However, do not feel too pressured to check them out. Just remember that as most of their songs use philosophies, wordplay, and strong symbolism, they tend to need an in-depth explanation accompanying it which is fortunately available here on RU-vid. We hope you check them out when you're comfortable! And also, do their live performances too for better experience (they are much better live as there are new adlibs, note changes, choreographies, and interactions). Again thanks!!

You are all so handsome, i couldnt look away

Thanks! Appreciate you taking the time to watch the explanation. Just noticed your Winter Soldier poster! ARMY grandma

Welcome to the Queen of all BTS songs, which is still charting to this day and is beloved by almost all Koreans. I kinda hoped you'd also do the explanation by Italian Army as it gets deeper into the tragedy and details, but it's very explicit with video footage and such. BTS has always done songs with social commentary in every album and this was one of their best, IMO. Also, this isn't just a theory any longer as they have spoken about it (2020) that it was for the Sewol Tragedy (there was a ban and a blacklist for artists during the time).

Every song they write/perform means something. Their words and emotions carry weight. They don't put out meaningless fluff. BTS writes their truths and their experiences. People connect to their honesty and the courage it takes to stand up for themselves and what's right. This is way ARMY is enormous. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Bless RM for writing this masterpiece

One of the realest reactions I've watched. Thank you so much for reacting to this. Spring day really holds a special place in all of ARMY's heart. It is, by far, one of the bravest and deepest songs BTS have created. The references, the association of the scenes in the music video...BTS, along with the director of the mv, really did a superb job. And can we forget how ARMY is able to identify and connect all that? Before, RM would always say that people who watched this MV are free to interpret it the way they want, but just last year, their label confirmed that it is a tribute to the victims of Sewol Ferry Tragedy in 2014. This queen have always remained unmatched, from then, till now. Btw, welcome to the rabbit hole, you guys. 😊💜

Spring day... ah.. let me cry

In Yet to come mv on contrast when Hobi shakes Jimin at the end he looks back with smile. The laundry is the view of the boat window which has such a similar feel to what actually happened. Recordings of students’ phone videos show tilted windows and tumbling.

Just to be clear, the song was not written about the events, but for time and feeling fitting the music video was made as a tribute to the event

Always love this song,,it's Beautiful and memorable 💜

not me crying throughout the video...

The more you learn from them, the more you love them, Army

Spring Day will never leave the charts. Apart from it being a beautiful song, it is a way to remember those who were victims of the tragedy. Never forget. I am not Korean but I join other Koreans in remembering the lives lost ❤

Spring day is Queen of BTS songsss. You know that there are 2 versions of this song? Theres a demo wrote by V which is a love song type of thing but when they heard the demo wrote by RM they chose it over Vs since it fits perfectly. RM wrote this at the park when he saw a leaf falling in the tree (if im not mistaken).

Setiap kali dengar lagu Spring Day…mesti teringat dekat pelajar dalam Sewol Ferry…sangat sedih…salam sayang untuk semua pelajar yang telah pergi ❤

Don't forget 🎗️

Well……I can’t stop crying 😭 😢 I never knew 🥺🥺🥺🥺

You'll need to prepare for Bangtan Universe there's so much theories to catch up 😆

yall post all the good stuff on patreon, i might need to get on there 😭

Thank you so much for not only reacting to this MV but for also doing a bit of research on the tragedy to have a better understanding of the song/symbolism. As always, you guys have amazing content!

bts sings our lives for peace~~!!♡

damn I teared up rewatching this for nth time with you guys

The part where in the book "the one who walks away from omelas" said the happiness comes from the suffering of a child, is similar to the snowpiercer movies cuz the one who keeps the train runnings is bcs of a child who works hard and suffered for the rest of his life

thank you for the video! there is also a really amazing but sad korean movie called Birthday that is also about the aftermath of the Sewol tragedy.

oh i didn't expect this reaction video at all.. 😮

love your videos..... it made my day

Thank you for your reaction

yeah people who spoke out about the tragedy at the time were being blacklisted. SO many students lost their life mad it was due to negligence and corruption. the fact that the government tried to cover it up is sad

Really good this one but Italian army explanation goes deeper hope you guys can check it too .. thank you

Thanks for doing this combo reaction. So many of BTS’s songs and videos have very deep layers and the explanation videos help. This is my fav explanation video for this song but in general DKDKTV creates strong explanations for Ugh, Ddaeng, Daechwita, Idol, Baepsae, Anpanman, and so many more. I highly recommend checking them out 💜

Check out Baepsae and explanation. Also ‘Am I wrong’ and explanation.

Hi guys! Loved your reaction. Although I do agree this song is in memory of the Sewol ferry tragedy I believe that this was more of a song to comfort the survivors. The ones who had to continue on knowing their friends would not be able to follow. The complicated emotions such as survivor’s guilt. BTS were incredibly brave to put this song out 💜

Thank you for the reaction. I cry every time I watch the video. I watched The NY Times video/documentary on RU-vid about the ferry sinking and it's so heartbreaking. The student who jokingly says in a phone video this might be how he dies and then later says panicking, "I don't want to die yet"...You're watching and you know he drowned😭. As a parent my heart also breaks for all of the families who lost their children and friends who lost multiple friends. When you see that video and the Italian ARMY's video you realize how brave BTS were to meet with victim's families and make the video knowing the government was blacklisting entertainers who protested or spoke out.

OMG thank you so much for this!!

This was a bold move by BTS, cause back in the Day the goverment blacklisted artist whome voiced their opinion ✌️✌️💜💜

Thank you 🙏🏼

I really enjoyed your reaction to Spring Day. Over the years, it still gets to me. I have watched several RU-vid historical videos about itThe ones showing videos taken by some students on board are especially gut wrenching.. The RU-vid channel "Coffeehouse Crimes" recently did a very detailed, deep dive on the tragedy .. worth the watch if you want more context.

Don't skip ads y'all, lets help this channel grow ❤️❤️ Waiting for y'all to start a podcast too wud love to hear y'all talk

Love BTS

There's an even more in-depth explanation by Italian ARMY that details the other hints and symbols that this video missed. The Italian video is hard to watch, though, because it also takes a deep dive into the events of the Sewol tragedy and the severely inadequate and corrupt government response. BTS was on the ragged edge of being blacklisted for this song, and for offering support to the families of the lost. The whole episode is both heart breaking and infuriating. That said, I want to thank you for a very thoughtful reaction. I'm new to your channel, but I'll be back.

Thank you

Oh I wish you watched the explanation video by an Italian army which goes way deeper and truthful of the Sewol incident, the government corruption, the greed of the rich and societal hierarchy that caused over 300 to die needlessly. 250 of dead are high school students from 1 school. The Italian version will break your heart. It’s really worth watching.

As far as I know this song was written by our leader-poet RM, and he said he wrote it sitting on a bench in the square, he wanted to comfort all the people who missed someone very dear, because with this tragedy the country was dark, but It wasn't for less either. He never confirmed this explanation, but you don't think it's even necessary! Everything makes sense, all the references, congratulations to whoever created this explanation. Thanks for the reaction.

i dont know if you guys remember this, but theres a scene in all of us are dead on ep5 where namra asks "do you think our country is the type to mourn more adults or children?". i always thought that part in particular was a very direct reference to the tragedy.

There's a documentary of the tragedy here on youtube, you should watch it

this was especially amazing considering BTs were just starting to take off in their careers and they could’ve gotten canned by their govt for being so obvious about it. Also, there’s a really good documentary on the tragedy. It’s about 40 minutes long I think, but the things covered in the MV barely scratch the surface of the hideousness of how this was handled by the Korean govt. 🥺 Even if you don’t know the story though, it’s a beautiful song and could be applied to any relationship

Actually Jimin around the year 2016 (apparently) the group doesn't talk about it clearly, but they don't make it explicit in videos, songs and they themselves have mentioned it in their run's, live etc. The song is not about the ferry tragedy. It's for Jimin, he had an accident on the mountain where he fell into the water, being in a coma for months or more, when he woke up he lost the memory of what happened and why it happened. He had to relearn the smells, sensations etc. That's why in the run's his companions help him remember with activities in the water mainly, they help him by exercising his mind and above all to laugh since his mind was nebulous and his personality too, hence many BTS songs dedicated to jimin especially of suga who is the producer and composer of the group. Jimin recovered his memories and his personality is suspected around the year 2018 or so. That is the reality of the song. And much of the history of BTS and kpop that is full of abuse, confinement, theft of songs and productions, etc. Suga was actually hired as the group's producer and composer, everything is recorded on the Rookie king shows, vlive, etc. from when the group started. His universe is gigantic. By the way suga produces the mv and songs of the group txt where he explains the history of BTS in his videos. Suga produces many of the kpop groups that are now in existence. That's why they all have songs that relate to the history of BTS. You understand, BTS are angels for kpop, they freed many from abuse and from being locked up as they explain in their ON video. They are the best friends who helped Jimin recover, his voice was also affected by the accident. The blue and gray song is also about jimin and his happy days and other depressive ones because of his personality change because of his foggy mind. Until I get back his exact memories

It’s okay even if you heard it backward, your reaction are 💯 as long you enjoy listening to it and try to understand it’s message, that is enough. I cried my heart out when I watch the explanation video by the Italian army (the longer version, highly recommended).

heartBeat, forever young, and the truth untold please

you should try to watch the italian army spring day explanation... so you can know more about the accident... 💜💜💜

I had no idea this song is related to the tragic accident. How thoughtful they are!

I love this song and it's been 5 years and it's still on korean charts ❤ Thank you for the reaction! I would definitely try to watch hobipalooza in your patreon soon. Can you also react to rapline's cyphers? 1-4? or ddaeng by rapline as well with explanation video because ddaeng's lyrics is really deep and associates and lots of reference from korean culture, thank you again! love your reactions ❤❤❤

You should have reacted to spring day explained by an italian army. It goes even more in depth about what actually happened.

It’s the same director who directed Snowpiercer and Parasite.

Aww BTS always taking risk.. this song won song of the year in Korea after 5 years it’s till charting I remember when some families of the victims of the tragedy spoke about it and said that BTS went to personally see them… this song also reminds me of the tragedy that happened in itaewon few weeks ago where again young adults died :(

I also wanted to clarify something that RM and Suga when they wrote this song they were thinking/writing about friends that they have lost. So the song itself can be interpreted however you would like, like loss. The MV though is pretty much about the tragedy too. (I mean the MV is art so it can be interpreted how you would like but it does have a meaning too that you discovered)… Thank you for reacting!!! If by chance you are interested could you react to the Italian ARMY explanation video as well? It does go deeper and in my opinion explanation better for majority of parts…However it is Italian and their is quite a bit of text so feel free pause and rewind…I do understand if it is a hard one to watch and would like to watch it on your own time or just not watch it at all. Just highly recommend is you can/want to.

Mu eyes were soo watery while watching this video 😢

There's a lot of tv shows/movies or music in SK that reference or represent the Sewol Tragedy, for example I know you guys react to All of Us are Dead, that one scene when their all in the classroom and they start recording messages of themselves talking about their parents and telling them they love them, represents a video that was released of the kids who were on the ship, they recorded themselves moments before they died, that's why I find that scene so emotional. Spring Day is such a big song especially in South Korea till' this day its still on charts trending, I think this songs means a lot to the citizens of SK, I still find myself getting so angry when I just think about the fact that so many children lives could've been saved if the captain & crew members weren't fking selfish, it irks & pains me and my heart goes out to the victims families, thank you for your reaction :)

Thank you for this love your reactions please we want more bts here and business proposal ep3 soon please 🥺❤️ My country does not have pitreon or maybe you can make a twitch channel and react to run BTS episodes there please 🥺
