💜 BTS (방탄소년단) '피 땀 눈물 (Blood Sweat & Tears)' Official MV (REACTION VIDEO) 

Wow, I got really surprised at how you totally understood the meaning of Jin kissing the statue, I've seen many reactions and this was the only one that did that. This video was based on the book Demian of Hermann Hesse and I had to read it to be able to understand the message. It's such a pleasure to see people connecting with art and not just superficially watching BTS for views. Great video!!

The text above the mirror in front of Jin is in German, it's a quote from the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche- "One must have chaos in oneself to give birth to a dancing star"

I honestly believe RM, the leader of BTS would be thrilled by your reaction as I think he would feel that his art was truly understood and appreciated!

I truly think this may be my favorite reaction to BTS ever. From your first reaction I knew you guys would understand and appreciate them and their art. This reaction I could honestly feel the pull you were feeling and it mirrored my own for all these years watching the art BTS has continuously produced. I remember when this video and the short films leading up to it were released and just thinking man I wish everybody could watch and appreciate this for the art it is instead of just relegating it under the boy band label and therefore it must be less than. Thank you for this. 💜

Thank you so much for your reaction to this! Your raw emotion really touched me and I really appreciate your vulnerability in that moment. I'm sure lots of fans have sent you to different creators in order to help put you on the intended path toward discovering the meaning behind this iconic music video but regardless of what the actual meaning of this song/MV is, I really liked *your* interpretation of it. That's the thing about art -- it can mean so many different things and that doesn't invalidate your perspective on the MV. I really loved what you guys are bringing to the conversation about BTS's music and I can't wait to see more! 💜

😭💜 are you ok? Like you were seeing the sun for the first time 🤗 I'm a literature/art/psychology geek. BTS made me love these things again. 💜 🇨🇦

78 yr old ARMY. BTS brought back my love of music that I had lost for over 30 yrs. I enjoy the wide variation in their songs, their lyrics, dancing and artistry. Watching your reactions, I really appreciated your thoughtful and genuine consideration of the songs as well as your sharing of the emotions they evoked. 💜

I have a feeling you're going to love Wild Flower (probably the whole Indigo album) by RM, the leader of BTS. He's the one behind most of their beautiful and poetic lyrics. His love of art, as well as his intellectual curiosity about human life in general, is deeply embedded in BTS MVs and discography. Happy BTS journey!

Wow, your emotional reaction is exactly what every BTS fan experienced at some point, I think: It's when we feel this connection with them and their art on the most human level. It's when we feel (not just understand) how the human experience connects all of us. And this is something you can't explain to people who haven't felt it and don't have an open heart. They just look at you weird or maybe smile in a friendly way, not taking you seriously. You will have a hard time explaining this experience over "a K-pop boyband" (I call BTS none of this, by the way) to your friends... Thank you for being so open and vulnerable, essentially human, in this reaction.

Wow guys, I felt your heartfelt emotions coming through the screen. You can enjoy BTS at surface level or you can delve into and appreciate at a deeper level. One of the things I appreciate about their art is often times they leave it up to the consumer to interpret the meanings and feelings it evokes. Other times they share with us what inspired them when writing lyrics or producing music videos. As others have already mentioned in the comments they drew heavily from the concepts in the book Demian. You were spot on regarding acknowledging you have both light and dark inside you. I would say all the guys are lovers of art but I think RM would live in art museums if he could lol. Any time they visit cities on tour and he gets the chance, he's checking out the local museums. A while back BTS even participated/sponsored/promoted a global art exhibition held in a dozen plus locations internationally. Another era of their music you might enjoy is influenced by Carl Jung's theory of personality exploring persona, ego and shadow. At any rate I've rambled long enough lol. Really appreciate your reactions and you have a new subscriber. 😊💜

You guys got it!!! Jin kissing the statue isn't understood by a lot of reactors but you guys nailed it. There are so many more videos that have such a beautiful meaning wait to you get to Spring Day and the story behind the song, very emotional video and song.

This was one of their huge concept albums and they just love to create aesthetic videos which have layers and hidden clues everywhere. They say they write songs and MVs you don’t get easily in a single viewing but it’ll take many times to take it in. This one is ridiculously beautiful as each shot is like a work of art. They used so many art styles as inspiration. Also a lot of references to Icarus, Greek mythology, the fall of angels, and heavy references to Damien by Hesse. The mirror has a quote in German from Nietzsche that says “Man muss noch Chaos in sich haben, um einen tanzenden Stern gebären zu können. [You must have chaos within you to bear a dancing star.]” even the flowers at the end as Jins face cracks are a reference to their big storyline. Really this whole thing is ridiculous, nobody makes music videos like them. Glad you got to experience it. FYI many will recommend Spring Day, and I’d add in a strong trigger warning the MV is filled with references towards a huge Korean tragedy and the explination videos are alot for most reactors. I’d recommend the song that previews this MV “Boy Meets Evil” and then “Singularity” the preview for Fake Love (BTS often/usually has a solo song kick off the theme of an album). Overall I’d say BTS models a healthy masculinity. They have said many times clothes don’t have genders so have no issue wearing women’s styles (jackets or shirts, even skirts). But also being very in touch with their feelings and showing it’s ok to play, cry, be very close to your friends etc. And of course learning to love yourself.

Welcome to the army. BTS is not a boy band, it’s a revolution. We purple you💜💜💜💜

The reaction to Blood, Sweat, and Tears is different for everyone. But so glad that you were able to see it for what it is, a work of art. BTS is no ordinary K-Pop boy band, they are thought provoking, healing, and up-lifting. From mental health, to psycology, to understanding, to life...they are also real people who remain humble and down to earth. We, as Army, we walk together with them on their journey providing strength and love to each other. It is just beautiful. Enjoy the journey, and welcome.💜

Suga’s solo “shadow” has lyrics I believe you’ll interpret well. He is one of the main rappers. Great job with this reaction!

Welcome to the Army side. We all have been very touched by a video or song that made us fans of BTS. For each person is a different song. For me was Epiphany. I cried my eyes out the first time I’ve seen that live version of Jin singing that song during a concert, was incredible. And after that I found songs that made me happy, empowered, reflective, or any kind of emotion that they transmit. Each member of BTS is an absolute artist, so when they are together is really magical.

You are becoming my favorite reactors…. After I discovered BTS, I decided to give other k-pop groups a chance... I gradually realized that they are completely different. Nowhere have I found this emotion, this touching touch of Art, this depth and reflection that BTS gives me.

You need to see "Black Swan" next. This reaction was as moving as the video, and I so love your intellectual approach to examining the artistry at work. BTS will surprise you. They're so much more than a boy band.

I see you noticed their penchant for practical sets and effects. I suggest you react to the brief shooting sketches behind the scenes of their music videos, because you can see all these sets and practical effects in action. You can start with Fake Love and Blood Sweat & Tears since you have seen those already. Borahae and welcome to the ARMY! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Loving your reactions! You should watch the making of this video to see all the practical effects - it’s an amazing video. If you’re interested in the deeper meaning behind this video, I would recommend watching Bookish Theories- BSandT

For most music videos, BTS has the behind the scenes of making it. The practical effects are crazy. I never would've guessed how they make the sets and the many crew it takes to get the final product 😃

You guys are literally the first people Iv seen who reacted to this song and Actually understood what was happening. I appreciate you guys for looking at their music not only just for a reaction but as artist with actual meanings behind their music.People usually just watch and judge rather then reading and understanding the song itself like they would usually do for western artist.

Wow💜. I absolutely LOVED your reaction! Thank you so much for giving us such a raw reaction. Watching you both appreciate the art of BTS and the fact the you are so genuine really warms my heart.💜 Just subscribed and am looking forward to your BTS journey. I wish you both the very best!💜 Borahae!

Real ARMY feel exactly the same and cry during MANY BTS songs. i STILL cry during some songs after 4 years being ARMY. Magic Shop is my absolute favorite BTS song. JK wrote and produced it for ARMY and it shows their love for their fans and their message of hope and comfort. it is based on the book Into The Magic Shop. there's no MV but there are several live performances you can choose from.

I'm blown away by your interpretations of the mv and lyrics despite not having any context of the bts era that this mv was created. Despite having watched this mv and song a million times, your insights managed to make me see things differently!! Thank you for your honest and raw reactions 💜😭

I got emotional when you broke down.. I literally tear up😔 thankyou so much for you genuine reactions guys. I am sure that MAGIC SHOP will make you emotional too. Its a bts song that was directly composed and written for armys. Its a fan song made by bts💕

It’s actually a travesty that they are not winning awards left and right just for music videos alone. While not all their MV’s (or songs) are as deep as this, you know that a whole lot of planning and thinking went into them, be it the choice of location, props, outfits, emotion, imagery, color, story, sound, lyrics, etc. I appreciate BTS and their team for being master storytellers and how they make sure to leave you wanting more. 😊 I also appreciate you guys for having curious and open minds.😊💜

Seeing you so moved by the song and video remind me of when I first watching it, and makes me getting emotional too. It's such a beautiful experience to get struck by the power of art and make you feel so alive. It's so hard to explain to people that can't feel the same way, and it's so good to find people that understand it to the bone! Also give props to the directer of this MV and the producer of the song and anyone who have worked hard to make this happen! Clearly their message is presented really well and beautifully. That's BTS and BigHit. They are just like that. They value the quality and the depth of their work and make magic happen.

This is one of the best reactions to BTS I have ever seen. The way you describe what you see and feel is very on par with how BTS and their work make me feel as well. I am so glad you loved the video and the song and artistry behind it. Definitely can't wait to see more from you guys!

It's so nice to see that there are still people who are open minded and really appreciate the art of my loves/idols. When you go deeper into this crazy and wonderful rabbit hole you see how everyone they are extremely hard working and very talented...they really love what they do and that makes their art more appreciable. Thank you for your very organic and sincere reactions. I hope you keep reacting to my loves. I purple you 💜!

If you want to know the actual meaning of this video, I recommend this explanation: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5tlgAUE6yjg.html The whole Wings album is ART at its best.

Blood Sweat and Tears video and song were built and written based on Demian, a novel by Hermann Hesse which won a nobel prize in literature back in 1946. I read this book (because of this Mv) and I'll try my best to interpret and summarize the story here. The story follows a young boy named Sinclair who had a friend named Demian. Demian acted as Sinclair's mentor during his childhood and transition to adulthood. Sinclair as a young adult experienced series of existential crisis, believing he lived in between the world of light (the world of illusion, full of goodness) and "the dark world" (the real world which was full of lust, temptation, anger and evil world). Demian, and later on Sinclair's another mentor Pistorius, believed that in order to become a full person a human needs to embrace both of their light and dark sides. This will then lead Sinclair to find out about Abraxas, the god of light and darkness. There are sooo many imageries and jawdropping details on the MV that represent details in the book. But the point is this song is about the loss of innocence and temptation, about being a human and embracing both of your good and dark sides. The scene where Jin kissed the statue (which I believe the representation of Abraxas) means he seals the deal with the devil himself in order to fully embrace himself as a person who isn't perfect, full of flaws. The white and black doors represent the world of light and the real world. Suga playing piano represents Pistorius who was an organ player in the story. The phrase that RM read in English here was also taken from the book, page 26 (on the version that I read). It says "He too was a tempter, he too was a link to the second, the evil world with which I no longer have anything to do." "He" here refers to Demian, that Sinclair once thought as a bad influence for him, maybe it's because Sinclair tried to deny his dark sides. The book is heavily influenced by a swiss philosopher and psychiatrist Carl Jung. One of his pupils was Hermann Hesse's doctor back then. This MV and song are also influenced by a german philosopher Nietzche. There's a quote by him on the wall above the painting that Jin is staring at. It is in German but it means "You must have chaos within you in order to give a birth to a dancing star". Again, the same theme occurs here, about embracing both of your light and dark sides. Only by accepting your flaws and mistakes you can reach your true potentials. Hesse learned a lot about Jung's psychoanalysis and experienced it himself so that was why Demian was heavily influenced by it. What makes it even more interesting, BTS album MOTS 7 is also based on Carl Jung's theory (hence the songs Persona, Shadow, and Ego were born-- these 3 elements are important in Jung's theory Maps of the Soul). BTS are deep, my friends. They talk about real things like the pain of growing up and youth's experience. They literally make a lot of armys become smarter and read on classic literature like this because of them. lol. Welcome to the fandom! (Please note once again that this is all my own interpretation after reading the book, take it with a grain of salt.)

I have never seen any reactor expressed how touched they are at this kissing scene. You made me tear up as well. Yes, BTS are not only musicians but rightly also artists. Wonderfully observed!

Hey guys! Found y'all by looking at other BTS reactions. Enjoyed watching your reactions to this video. Aww....I know the feeling of being brought to tears by one of their MVs. Can't wait to see more reactions. You are in for an Amazing and exciting adventure getting to know these 7 Amazing guys of BTS who literally change ppls lives. You should react to Spring Day and watch the video explains the meaning behind it ( The Seoul Ferry Diaster ) that claimed the lives of 250+ high school kids. It would be awesome to see y'all react to some Documentary of BTS like From Nobodies to Legends. Hopefully I get to see a reaction to one of these soon. Much love from Texas.

I think all of us ARMY have experienced that moment when a BTS song just hits you so viscerally all of a sudden. For me, it was with a song called Life Goes On. I was just starting to discover BTS, it was mid pandemic, and that song just hit me so hard. It wasn’t even the actual music video that got me, it was an accompanying video called “Like an Arrow” that made me start crying out of no where. I still can’t pinpoint why it hit me so hard, but it felt intimate and nostalgic and hopeful and longing all at once. I’m really enjoying your BTS journey so far and I’m sure you have a lot of suggestions now but here are some other videos that I think you’d really enjoy: Emotional: -Life Goes On -Spring Day (this one is called the queen of their discography) Introspective: - Intro: Persona - Interlude: Shadow - Outro: Ego (These three are interconnected. You don’t have to watch them all in one go but I think it would be helpful.)

Just to let you know, BTS has been to Norway, Sweden & Finland about 6-7 years ago for their reality show Bon Voyage. And possibly for vacation at other times, I don't remember. They have a big following there as well. If I recall, a fan girl in Norway or Sweden was chasing one of them in the streets, heh. Even Norway's king, King Harald V, has mentioned them. If they haven't been to that aforementioned park, then they might visit it one day, especially like the artsy ones such as RM. But good reaction & discussions. Many of their songs & lyrics have serious messages in them, some of them socio-political & cultural. This is why BTS has not only set themselves apart from most of KPop, but also set apart from many other artists worldwide. We hope to see you continue your BTS journey as you have only seen the tip of the iceberg with 3 reactions.

I watched this mv for many times and your reaction added to a lot … thank you and keep going!

BTS has changed my life. I'm 52 year old ARMY and they have changed my perspective of life. They teach me something every day. They have brought music and laughter back into my life!!!! Millions of ARMY have had the same experience 💜 This is one of my favorite videos, and you nailed it! BTS move us all in different ways...lots of tears and laughs. That's why we love them so much! Check out, Heartbeat and Run BTS dance practice!

Trust me many of us BTS ARMY have cried to the beauty of this video which is why why it is still a fave of ours. RM as well as the members said that this video was based off the book Demian. They also felt like ARMY and FAME was like the Sun. No matter how close you fly towards it or how high you get your wings can be singed away at any moment the closer you get. There is an explanation video to the symbolism within this MV on the XCeleste YT channel however, your interpretation did hit some points. In a recent interview RM said "My Life is like a Canvas." Everyone sees the painting within the frame but meant never see the blood, sweat, and tears that go into it to produce it's eternal beauty. However, art should not just be held within a boxed frame. It is a beauty that holds many colors, yet can be seen in the light and shadows. Showing the beauty within the darkness or sun light. THANK YOU for your genuine reaction and giving BTS a listen with an open mind. There is a saying in the BTS ARMY, “BTS shows up when you need them most.” I believe that GOD put them in your path for a reason. Good Luck and enjoy the journey of getting to know BTS, what they stand for as a group, and each member individually. They are truly genuinely worth knowing. BTS + ARMY = BORAHAE (Eternal Love) 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 TOMORROW BY TOGETHER (TXT) + (MOA) MOMENTS OF ALWAYSNESS = ONE DREAM LOVE YOURSELF: SPEAK YOURSELF for you are the LIGHT which shines upon others like the MOON in the night sky surrounded by a MIKROKOSMOS of stars leading to a universe where SERENDIPITY and EUPHORIA awaits you with no STIGMA to contain you. For BTS will be your FILTER and cause your INNER CHILD to AWAKE.

I have watched this MV hundreds of times and the part Jin kissing the statue always makes me hold my breath then gasp for air after (always have that affect on me). I love your reaction . Subscribing!!!! 💜💜💜

I just want to say Thank You. Human Traits. That is the simple, clean, truth. So thank you. I find your thoughts and interpretations fascinating. BTS will hit you in your heart; will play with your brain and make you think; will resonate with the core of your being. I always think the MVs of BTS have the interpretations. The intended one for the song, the intended one for the MV, and the one you find - that you feel - for yourselves.

I find it a bit hard to decide what to recommend next. But I think you would really appreciate RM‘s beautiful solo album Indigo, which he released in December. There is a Tiny Desk performance by him where he performs three songs, two of them from the new album. He explains the ideas behind the songs in detail, which I think you might enjoy. It’s a very stripped-down performance. The BTS Tiny Desk concert is also a great recommendation for a first live experience. I’m looking forward to seeing some more of your BTS journey.

Really love how insightful you both are! Big applause to your quote: "There's a lot of femininity lacking in our masculinity." THANK YOU!! It'd be great to see you guys reaction to "Who is BTS - Bangtan 7" by Taylor to truly know who these 7 guys are and their story. I think you'd appreciate their craft and skills even more. AND, maybe a live performance reaction would be great too :)

YES!!!Now you understand why the World love them - and You are just getting started. I know You 2 will love what BTS do and You will love each of artist, they are all really unique individuals and really genuine people. Please explore interviews and stuff surrounding their music as well.

I have been an ARMY for three years and you reaction and take on this music video is refreshing. You get BTS. It will be a wild ride and a great journey. Borahae!! Welcome. By the way I am an elder ARMY, 74 years old and following BTS is one of the best decisions I have every made.

Me habéis dejado impresionada tanto por lo acertado de vuestros comentarios como por la honesta emoción. Yo estoy en proceso de descubrir a estos increíbles y completos artistas y no dejan de sorprenderme cada día. La profundidad de su obra te deja en choque, jamás lo hubiera imaginado, pequé de prejuicio y por ello me los he perdido mucho tiempo. Me consuela que tengo mucho por descubrir de esta increíble banda en este tiempo en el que han parado, supongo que podré ponerme al día hasta su vuelta.

Oh my gosh you really moved me as i was already moved watching it long time before this. You are so honest with your raw feelings being shared. Yes and RM is the art guy. Watch the explanatory video if you haven't already

This is why BTS has an ARMY of fans because of the emotions they evoke. Love you guys

Thank you for being open to BTS and really letting them in. We have all gone through the same feeling of being struck by the artistry. Great perspectives shared!

Must must watch the explanation video. Spring Day and the explanation video are also a much. I keep wanting to tell and say pay attention to the painting Jin was looking at and so on. DEEP is all I can say. You will be surprised at what is behind this music video. Also Namjoon (RM) who is the leader of the group has a PASSION (understatement of the year just watch is newest solo Flowerwork) for all things art. Is even opening up a gallery of his own. But I’d recommend Taylor’s guide to BTS and also if you want the most in-depth docuseries on their journey from oredebut (2010-current) I cannot recommend Rise of Bangtan enough. 💜

This song is based on the novel "Demian" by Herman Hesse. "Manhi, manhi, manhi" is what they are singing. It means "A lot" in Korean or maybe it's about excess in this video. I think this song is about falling to temptation. Evil temptation maybe? V is a fallen angel at the end. I love your BTS reactions! P.S. I am from a pioneer Alaskan family. My family still lives there. I now live on the West Coast of the lower 48 states.

Interesting. This is indeed about understanding temptations, experiencing them.

Thank you so much for the reaction! The raw emotion you showed was touching and made me tear up in turn. You're absolutely right, there's art that is thought provoking and some that are emotion evoking, and BTS can do both. Thank you for showing true love for our boys. Here's a little more information into the song! You got a lot of it right! Blood Sweat and Tears video and song were built and written based on Demian, a novel by Hermann Hesse which won a Nobel prize in literature back in 1946. I read this book (because of this Mv) and I'll try my best to interpret and summarise the story here. The story follows a young boy named Sinclair who had a friend named Demian.

But the point is this song is about the loss of innocence and temptation, about being a human and embracing both of your good and dark sides. Jin represents Sinclair in this scenario. The scene where Jin kissed the statue (which I believe the representation of Abraxas, who is also V) means he seals the deal with the devil himself in order to fully embrace himself as a person who isn't perfect, full of flaws.

They literally make a lot of ARMY become smarter and read on classic literature like this because of them. lol. Welcome to the fandom! (Please note once again that this is all my own interpretation after reading the book, take it with a grain of salt.) Tons of art pieces are represented in that mv: - Pieta (Michelangelo) - The Fall of the Rebel Angels (Pieter Bruegel) - Landscape with the Fall of Icarus (Pieter Bruegel) - The Lament for Icarus (Herbert James Draper) - Baroque Fresco (Giuaglio Quaglio) - Perseus with the head of Medusa (Benvenuto Cellini) - Livia Drusilla as Ops, goddess of fertility - Laocoon and his Sons - Crouching Venus - Venus de Milo - Venus at the Forge of Vulcan (Francesco Solimena) - Ares Borghese - Diana of Versailles - Angelus Novus (Paul Klee) - Regimental Band (Darsie Japp) - French fashion photograph (Henri Manuel)

Wow oh gosh I haven't come across a reaction like you both have and I feel you're very authentic. If you were moved by this, and if you know their story, their music will even be more meaningful. Subscribing to see you through your journey learning and appreciating BTS. If you pay attention, if you listen close..they can change your life. 💜

If you want to have your minds melted about the deeper meaning of this video (which includes Nietzsche and Hess) look for. Blood Sweat and tears explained. That winged figure is Abraxas…who is neither good nor evil but the representation of both. It’s deep guys. OH…..and welcome to the ARMY…welcome to the rabbit hole, come in *hands you a cup of tea*

I think you guys would really enjoy BTS' 'FAKE LOVE' also feel free to watch the video straight through without the captions and then watch again with the captions.

I luv seeing open minded intellectuelle passionate young men Keep good reactions

I'm crying too, although I don't speak English but art is a universal language!! Thanks for reacting to these 7 wonderful artists!! Proud 47 year old ARMY!!

Appreciate yr reaction. Can u react to Bts MMA 2019 PERFORMANCE. 💯It's the best performance in the world no shade.

I discovered and watched all 3 of your BTS reaction videos today and am now subscribed. I really enjoy the way you both analyze things. If you would like to see some of their different musical genres and live singing, I definitely recommend BTS 2021 Festa Room, it is a live medley of songs, and NPR Tiny Desk Concert. For some totally different styles, I highly recommend Mic Drop (Steve Aoki remix), The Truth Untold (stage mix compilation with only the vocal line), So What (live, this shows their fun playful side), and Outro: Tear (no official MV for this one, but there are some live performances and lyrics videos, this one is only the rap line).

Just react genuinely to BTS. It's what true ARMY appreciates. Just being respectful to our OT7 💜

What a reaction!!!! A very unique perspective of the video's meaning. Wow wow guys, amazing! That's what art is, our brain, senses, heart and sensibility receive the messages from art as we perceive them as human and our circumstance. Emotional! I only saw men around the world crying when Jin released The Astronaut. 😊💜

Blood Sweat and Tears was the point in my BTS journey in which I realized I was not smart enough to be a BTS fan. lol. I have had to study to keep up. BTS is storytelling at its best and uses all mediums to tell a larger story. Song lyrics, MV and live performance and in some instances supplemental videos. This is why you will hear people describe their music by Era's. BST is from the Wings era which is based on the book Demian, based a lot on mythology and literature as other's have said and has themes of facing temptation and diving deeper into the idea of the self. This era sets the stage for the others after it like the Love Yourself era and Map of the Soul. There is a great explanation video of the symbolism in this MV. I'm including the link. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5tlgAUE6yjg.html. Not all of their songs have deep meaning but a good many of them do and it is always worth the deep dive into the meanings behind the videos. You talked about Norway and Vigeland Park, RM is huge lover and patron of Art. Interestingly, The boys went to Norway in 2016 for Bon Voyage season 1. I am not sure if they went to this exhibit but the Wings album was released in 2016 right around this time. So not sure if there is a connection to it. I know you laughed a bit about getting emotional over KPOP but Korean and Asian people are very deep thinkers. I recommend watching some K Drama's if you want entertainment that is thought provoking and deep. I would start with My Mister or 25 21 both made me cry buckets.

Ah, there you are. I have been singing and living my truth since I was 3. My degrees are in Music and my life has been about authentic product esp voice. And you found my ....breathe....just breathe.....whilst watching these men. You understand ART....now, dig deeper.....the only thing close to this in the US is our Olympic contenders ...they worked in conditions no Americans would have accepted to do what they did to become ARTISTS......do your research and be humbled.

Seeing how you connected so much with this song and music video, I would absolutely recommend "Interlude - SHADOW", a solo song by one of the rappers of the group. The song and it's MV symbolises the internal human struggle with our inner shadow and it's done beautifully. Love your reactions, this one made me hit the subscribe button!

10:12 I recommend this video [Blood Sweat & Tears Shooting Sketch] ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q2T83o5kNVU.html

YOOOO you both nailed it on the head. I truly believe that if you dive deep into BTS music esp. the lyrics you'll love it. They talk so much about the self. Their Map of the Soul albums is based off of Swiss Psychiatrist Carl Jung's books.

I love the depth that you go into on this but on a completely different note, as a massive geek of the OG Star Wars franchise I ABSOLUTELY AGREE 100%!! The original trilogy really set the standard in terms of practical effects over special effects. If you compare it to say, the original Star Trek, which was only released 10 years before Star Wars & was heavier on the special effects, you can see the comparison of how well they aged. For the time Star Trek aired, the effects were decent, but bringing it back to watch it on HD TVs, the lack of quality is very glaring. Star Wars being heavy on Practical Effects has led the original trilogy to age WAY better than even the reboot series. Bringing this around full circle, this is why BTS MVs are so high quality and will age well with the development of technology because they predominantly use practical effects and interactive sets. If you want to see a really cool live that has some pretty great practical effects & magical camera tricks, check out their live, Home on Jimmy Fallon - it’s fun & impressive as hell👌I decided to edit when I saw the feels hit 29:14 - this is what they do. They touch on human psyche, the way they express their art is emotional. It may hit at a different time, with a different song with a different message but one thing we have in common as ARMY is that we’ve all been emotionally touched by something they have created. Whether it’s a theme of an MV, a specific line in a song or a speech, all 7 of these men have a natural ability to bring out hidden emotions unexpectedly. When you get to know their personalities, and you really should, you will discover the depth of their humanity, heart and love for not only each other, but all those who support them and all those willing to come out of their comfort zone to give them a chance. I’ve been moved to tears on so many occasions delving into their music, I’ve seen others moved to tears. Another thing you’ll learn is not only will THEY be there for you when things are rough, we, ARMY are there too. We’ve got a world to heal and it ain’t gonna happen with people at odds.

Every statues, paintings and props in the museum and in the rooms are detaily set with stories & symbols. They use very little to no cgs for their mvs. Also their choreos are usually matching lyrics and lyrics usually have deep meanings. With BTS, nothing is ramdomly placed without any reasons.

There is a very good explanation video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5tlgAUE6yjg.html that is definitely worth the watch to get a lot of the psychology references and almost all of BTS's music video's use live locations and practical effects as well as behind the scenes shootings for every music video so you can follow their journey in making their art. Also, nice Blue Spirit mask and Dao Blades in the back Zuko is one of my biases! 💙💜💜💜💜💜💜🐳♾

This song is part of their concept album Wings. It draws from the book Demian by Herman Hesse, which addresses temptation on a young man. There are many references to the book in this video. I’m a 47 yr old author and literature major, and I am so intellectually impressed by BTS.

You need to watch BTS' performance at the 2019 MMAs. Keep in mind it's an award show not a BTS concert. And don't forget to breath. Anyone who has watched this will understand why I say that. Please post your reaction.

I think you are realizing just how multi-talented BTS are. They are also humble & caring. The Alice in Wonderland looking scene you commented on that was real, BTS hardly ever use green screen. I am so glad my daughter introduced me to them 3 years ago & that ARMY are ALL AGES. I listen to them every day. Please continue down the BTS rabbit hole, you will NEVER regret it!💜

'I can't believe we're acting like this to k-pop'...yes you're..and many Army feeling the same...this is what BTS bring to us...and get ready to know more...

Time to learn more about the 7 members by Taylor (most up to date) and the BTS ARMY before going down further in the rabbit hole: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-huV_yIdxZPY.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iEy4wSU0t88.html Love to see you react to these videos and what you think of them individually and us ARMYs

For a connection to place mood, try SEOUL by RM (one of the rappers and leader of BTS). It is a solo project from his MONO mix tape.

Bts short films.. I highly recommend them

You should watch the live performance of Blood Sweat & Tears. It's incredibile!

I would highly recommend reacting to spring day by bts. It’s highly emotional song with a beautiful meaningful video!

Very much enjoyed the reaction guys! I think now would be a good time for you to watch 'A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7 by Taylor. Get to know how they got started and a bit more about each of the members personally ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-huV_yIdxZPY.html

Almost done watching. I love this, it's so validating to see when other people get the fact that there's depth here. Many people will see this and comment on how beautiful it is, and some will mention that there seems to be a story but it's too much for them to understand, and a few understand. Y'all connected with it and that's gorgeous.

BTS barly use green screen, except the IDOL MV. There is a behind the scene MV shooting sketch for every MV

Wow!! I am blown away by your reaction and your analysis and breakdown. Just stumbled upon this video and loved it. Your comment about a human being yin and yan, masculine and feminine is so accurate. We are composed of both and one is more predominant in most people. To find that balance of both is such a unique feat. Can’t wait to see more BTS reactions from you guys. Thank you! And, you are going to adore RM/Namjoon. He is the art connoisseur in the group and his lyrics are to die for. And this is based on the book Damian by Christian Hessman. So it’s art through and through.

I really appreciate the breakdown you did on this one. I look forward to when you're ready for Spring Day. Probably not yet, but when you do, also do the explanation video by Italian Army.

The book Demian by Herman Hesse was the inspiration for this piece of art. Their whole Wings Era was inspired by it, and it plays into their storyline. Thank you for your reaction.

Ooooh. Goosebumps when you explained the eye covering and statue kiss

The theme is about duality, “good” and “evil” and how we posses both and should embrace our total self. You men received the intention and interpreted it your own way, love that!💜

Black Swan and Spring day. After Spring day, watch an explanation vodeo, the watch it again.

Incredibly perceptive. You guys are amazing. You get it. Sorry, but you're in the Army now. Don't fight it 😉

I still haven't recovered from the Wings era. You have to check out the "Boy Meets Evil" video and Jimin's "Lie" from this album.

So glad you are finally able to feel how ARMY feel when watching BTS’s MV and songs… love your thoughts on this MV

When you said that BTS are ARTISTS I literally yelled “YES, THANKYOU!” 💜💜 as ARMY we try to convey this to people but a lot of ppl don’t listen due to preconceived ideas, and it can be frustrating, because it’s simply an experience you have to have, not something that can be told to you. So it gives me such an intense sense of.. relief? That’s the best way I can describe it, when someone sees that about them. So Thankyou. Also your reaction was beautiful, and while there are a lot of explanations and so forth, I firmly believe because bts are artists they want nothing more than for us to experience to experience their art in the most meaningful way to us, and that that is the correct way, for you. And that whatever their initial reasons for creating the piece and the meanings behind it that those are just as valid as whatever moved you and conclusions made you feel important emotions. So you can totally just bask in that for as long as you need to before moving on to learn their intentions 💜 but the significance of the art pieces and everything throughout is fascinating! That whole scene with the blindfold as a leash also absolutely blew my mind the first time I saw it and really moved me. This MV changed something in me tbh 😅🌹✨

This is the magic of BTS they create literal art, you will love it!! Your reaction is totally valid! They hit you hard especially the more you go into meanings, EVERYTHING has a deep meaning, and I mean EVERYTHING.

As Army from Cape Town. Im impressed by your thoughts and reaction and immediately subscribing. This my friends is how you fall down the BTS rabbit hole. Welcome💜💜💜💜💜

Your not responding to K-pop. You’re reacting to BTS . NO ONE in K-pop is doing this.

i want you to react to is BTS truth untold it´s a vocal line song only, but it´s so amazing the song is a story and so sad there is no MV but i recommend you do the live version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q9yaP4wZ_tI.html you hav to see how they portrait it live from everything from their clothes and the lighting. it´s so beautiful. and they have subs on the live version. i also want you to react to Lie it´s a Jimin solo song and his dancing is so emotional in this song. many producers love this song because it´s a masterpiece

Wow, rare to see reactors be able to understand the depth of their meaning and artistry. You guys are awesome. Would love it if you guys could also add the dance practice vids, there's one for nearly every music vid.

Wow I started crying when you guys were talking about these guys being true artists. Thank you for this reaction. Keep going! These guys are something very VERY special

Bts v my heart love u so much handsome boy😩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love you guys 💜 love your passion for music and art. Welcome to ARMY's life, that is to cry with each song, make theories and look for clues everywhere of what they are telling us. The inspiration for this song is Herman Hesse’s book Demian. It’s about temptation, desire, our own demons. It can be a relationship, an addiction, our own obsessions, a lot of things. Namjoon said they wanted to reflect the youth, grow and the temptations that arise in the process of maturing. There are a lot of symbolisms in this MV, from every painting, like The Fall of Icarus, the doors on each side of Jin, one white and another black, a statue of an angel and a demon, the white figure with black wings, the image of The piety, the Renaissance backgrounds and the cup of Absinthe, the drug of that time. The phrase on the mirror. What Namjoon says when he drops the balloon is a fragment of the book. Another song/MV very special to us and to BTS is 'Spring Day', theres a hard story behind it. I recommend you see the MV, especially read the lyrics and watch the explanatory documentary about the story behind this song.
