BTS - “N.O.” | Twins First Reaction 

As a Korean...I looked back why this song couldnt be more popular as much as it deserves....i think it has too heavy topic to digest to us. They touched something we faced but didnt want to mention in our society because we even dont know the solution of that matter. BTS is brave and from the begining, they are not just a pretty singing idol.

I'm not a Korean but I am Asian and I was friends with many Koreans, when this song came out it was incredibly brave and quite shocking thay BTS released this, especially only 3 months after debut as it dealt with a very big social problem that Korea (and many other places) have. Anyway, my friends said that the lyrics really touched them because it was like someone else had suddenly spoken out about the problems they are having and that most students were feeling or facing. It just goes to show that BTS's lyrics have always resonated with so many people because they are true to themselves. 💜

when they sing the lyrics "in Seoul to the SKY", SKY refers to the 3 top universities in seoul. S stands for Seoul National University, K for Korea University and Y for Yonsei University. the abbreviation SKY is very commonly used in South Korea when refering to these schools.

Although I’m OT7, the rapline holds a special place in my heart. Here’s how I would describe them: RM has this big commanding voice that demands respect. Even when he goes soft, he sounds like a father comforting his child. J-hope brings a very upbeat energy to his rap with an almost rhythmic singing tone. Makes you happy just listening and looking at him. Suga’s flow and cadence are very poetic. There’s a rawness of emotion in his voice that even if you don’t understand what he’s saying, you can feel it. I like to think RM represents the brain, J-hope the heart and Suga the soul of a song.

RM is my bias and part of the reason is because how powerful he is. He has been through so much at a young age as a member and leader. He has struggled with self image and understanding and loving himself in a way that is so heartbreaking and yet relatable. I think I saw an interview where he changed the questions when he translated them to avoid distressing the other members. I cannot imagine the mental burden on the all over the last few years but especially RM. And just wait until you get to the UN speech! That cemented him as my bias. Love all 7 but he has a special place in my heart.

I just know Jordan will go insane listening to rap line solo songs especially rm's "monster" and "joke" since he may be your bias, and after listen to this songs he will definitely be!

53 y.o. Texan here - RM was my early bias when I first found BTS...but eventually every other member's personalities, talents, and quirks created their own special places in my heart and now I can only be OT7 💜

For new discovering ARMYs, it's okay to change biases from time to time. Especially when you watch their shows. For instance, in Run BTS, you'll see the funny side of Jin & Jimin. In Bon Voyage, the baby qualities of Jungkookie. In The Soop ever caring SUGA & Hobi, etc. Each member is unique & likable. 💜

House of Cards is a vocal line BTS track. Another of my favs and it makes me imagine a old smoky jazz club. The live is soooooo good. The mood of the stage was perfect!

Stands for No Offense. N.O. O RU L8 2 is one of my fav BTS Albums. Heavy Rap, R&B and Hip Hop. It lives in my CD player in my car. OG, Old Skool BTS hold a special place in my heart❤️. So eager, so raw, so hungry and hard working.💜💜💜💜💜💜

​i'm so excited. honestly, this song has one of the most unterrated bts performaces ever in my opinion. they performed it on mama2019 and the swag was so present. the "we roll, we roll" part is perfect. I love how good it sounds and this part has my fav part in the choreo. may look simple but it's too cool. i love how it looked with their fits in the mama2019 performance (they also performed bulletproof pt.2 there) so maybe check that one out.

This song is iconic and was so ahead of its time. I think that's why it was so underrated even though the song is one that means quite a lot to 2013-2014 ARMYs. On the year of its release, there were not many artists or musicians who were so vocal or brave enough to touch this kind of topics (basically about anything that talks about changing the system) because politics in SK were so different then. I hope you'll get to react to their mama2019 performance because they performed this song again after a long time. oh, and the boys usually pronounce the song as "N.O"

After they consume the red pill, I interpreted the next scene sequence as traveling through the brain synapses, because now they are 'awakening' from society's rules and expectations. Your videos always make my day. You nice, keep going!

THEEEEE ICONIC N.O!!!!!😭 absolutely love the message of this song and the music video is really cool. The choreography is amazing, as always. Just one of our favourite classics here in our Bora land 💜

Guys you can always check to see if there is an explanation/theory on some of their songs which can be really helpful because if you’re not Korean you might not get cultural references. I found these explanation videos very helpful. BTS said this was about the very strict educational system in Korea.

RM takes the most "bullets" since he's the leader. You hear it when he raps.

I screamed! Yes!

2:50 the title of each rise of bangtan chapters were all bts' songs and it somehow describes the theme of that chapter.. it doesn't necessarily means that those songs are part of that particular era (e.g. for chapter 3, the title is house of cards but this song is the outro of their hyyh pt.2 album and a full length version on their hyyh: young forever album. it wasn't part of the era which chapter 3 covered but house of cards describes the situation of the group during that era when they released the o!rul8,2? album). hope my explanation made sense!!

V is my bias too. his voice and his songs gave me a second life.

Well I'm a little bit sad cuz I'm not able to join the patreon with u guys , and watching u reading the lyrics is one of my fav things on your channel 💔but it's fine💜

They are so close and supportive of each other. Jhope's Lollapolza concert and his vlive after it.

The song that you're referring to is "Mirror" by Justin Timberlake. I've seen the Netflix special Black Mirror as well, and you're right, it does remind me of that. You are absolutely right, BTS are fighting against society in this video...whether it be parents, teachers, bosses whatever. I love your videos!!! BTW I knew RM was your bias and I must tell you he only gets better with age. "House of Cards" is another great song.Love you guys!!! Thanks for the reaction. I'm heading over to Patreon now...Borahae 💜💜💜

Great decision: 1 bias each year, still difficult tho, I can fall in love with 3 of them in the same Run bts episode. (But my eyes and all my heart always come back to Jimin)

If you want hear a solo from jimin i recommend Lie (but every solo jimin does is good ngl)

I would love to watch more reactions but sadly I can't get access to petreon where I live. Wish you guys can just upload the petreon content on RU-vid too or somewhere where I can watch it. I jate that I can't watch that.

hi, i don’t know if you’re ever going to read this, but i’d like to share my story as well. I’m 15, pretty young, started following them even younger. I basically grew up with them since my sibling used to listen their music and share their content with me sometimes. It’s been almost 5 years now, they helped me back then, but they helped me even more now. When i was 11 searching for their content i didn’t really know english that well since it isn’t my first language, i think i learned more english watching their videos with eng subs than in school. But, recently (almost a year ago) i got diagnosed with cancer, it’s nothing that serious (it’s not deadly if treated quickly) but it completely destroyed my life. I lost my first year of high school, which i think is a pretty important part of life. The tumor was in my leg, i had to have a surgery to remove it, so you could guess that i can’t walk anymore, not yet at least. I had to go through almost 9 months of chemo therapy, which had a lot of impact in my life. I lost my hair, lost weight (14kg), was feeling sick everyday, a lot nausea and headaches and other symptoms like these. The cancer cells are no longer in my leg, and i’m free of chemo therapy (had my last cycle last week) but i still can’t walk, and won’t for at least another year. During this time i couldn’t meet up with anyone because i was too fragile (considering that covid was still going around a lot, i even got it and had to go through a cycle of chemo therapy while i had it) and i felt extremely lonely. So to keep me company i watched their videos again and again, even if i already watched them, like they were some friends that came to see me. I also have big problems with my phobia of the dark and anxiety, so sleeping at night is kinda difficult for me, you could say i have a slight insomnia. To sleep i listen to their music, or just listen to them talk. i don’t understand, but i feel less lonely and scared. They inspired me a lot, thanks to them i know the kind of person i want to be when i grow up, they showed me that there’s a reason i shouldn’t give up even in a situation like mine. And they thought me to love myself. If you ever read this, thank you, i hope the best for your journey. Keep showing them love, they truly deserve it💜

not reading lyrics from doolset anymore on RU-vid is a bit frustrating, why all to Patreon? i can join, but i dont want because i dont have to paid for free things. i can understand if u guys started reacting to BON VOYAGE, for example, but its just music, i want see the full reaction of free stuff. ): I enjoy a lot the deep analysis.😭

Can't wait to see you two dig into their solo stuff one day to see every member particularities. As for RM i have no enough words to express how much i love his solo stuffs omg

First congrats on 80k guys!!!! Soo happy for u honestly. Second, I am so exited for this one. It has a very meaningful message for me. Songs like this ones make me feel like I am not the lost in the sistem, that the sistem is the one that doesnt have place for people like me. And that im not alone, that other people also feel pressured and that the sistem should have changed. But here we are.

Jordan you should totally react to "Monster" by rm. Its my fav of his solos and there is a line that stood out for me and to all armys. He talks about haters and he does an incredible job. Also please react to suga's solo AGUST D as AGUST D (suga backwords + deagu town) in his mixtape also called AGUST D (hahaha) luv u guys♡

Finally, Now it’s my habit to check my notifications every single day to see if you post anything Huh I’m happy.

I'm really sad because I can't follow you on Patreon and I have a problem I love your reactions on bts💔

HAHA! I definitely feel ya Jordan when it to RM. He remains my bias wrecker to date...I cannot wait until you get to the rap line's cyphers 1-4. It is a treat for hip hop fans. Love your videos on here and patreon. Keep up the great work guys. Borahae!!!

I have a lot to say. Number 1, I appreciate how thoroughly you both go into understanding the songs. Number 2, no you are not alone in never seeing a Matrix movie. Number 3 the bias announcement had me cracking up. Never be worried about your bias! You can't go wrong honestly lol.

N.O is one of my favorite comebacks. Also love love love Attack on Bangtan. This whole album is one of their best and ‘We On’ is in my top 10 for BTS songs. Oh you have the Cyphers also. Not enough hours in the day

BTS literally played a very big role in my life ever since I have became an army ...they helped me to become a better person , they helped to fight with my anxiety, they helped me to raise my voice against society....and many more through their music , their videos , their vlogs . They are not just artists for army they our their best friend , their idol and moreover they are like their family..... BTS is changing the world , breaking all the norms , braking all the records.... And I am very happy to enjoy my BTS journey again with you guys.....💜💜💜 U guys are very amazing... keep going 🙃...and wish you all the best for your journey..💜💜

I love BTS so much💜💜💜

I'm waiting for "No" reaction.Everyday i came & check.thankyou Borahae 💜

Jimin did have solo parts. I think you're used to his high register that you don't recognize him his mid range vocals. Again, most times in MVs, when it's their part, even if they aren't mouthing the words, the camera is usually focused on the person singing that part.

I hope for the dance practice and live performance reaction too😇😇

I love your reactions and I love your way of being thanks for joining the Army and listening to BTS 💜 it's a shame I can't be on your patreon to see the reactions that are there but I'm sure they're as good as the ones on RU-vid, I hope that one day they will be uploaded here too, greetings 🤗

13:27 V & RM : cool Watch out for wreckers One cool scene is V on a boat 🛶 and RM on the side in the Soop

I hope you post patreon videos here on youtube

22:50 I believe they’re in the heart & mind. When they consume what society instils in them, their heart & mind turns bloody. Turns red, warning sign, heated up, hurt and flaming. And at 16:06 after they’ve fought the guards and came down the stairs which indicates “let me go through this journey myself” and reached to the front, once again they said “Everybody say NO,” and the heart & mind TURNED WHITE! To me it shows liberation, calming down, freedom and honesty to oneself. Love that they always have layers of meanings & messages in sensory form including visuals, sound, literature, colors & emotions they’re showing. Also, Jungkook is rapping here too together with rapline. The part hits me the most indeed when Jungkook said “Dream is gone.. No time to breathe..” NGL i still get teary eyes imagining that’s what the youth feels. Amazing how this song still soooooo relevant in the society now especially in South Korea. You may need to watch Sky Castle (Kdrama) to understand how depressing the schooling system is currently in South Korea. Can’t imagine not being an ARMY if we are a thinker. Like your good selves brothers! Always enjoyed your reviews and conversations. Please do video conference with some ARMY to discuss some topics relating to BTS’ messages and society. Would be a great content. I am a mother of 2 small kids, this constantly reminds me to keep my kids’ learning & life experiences balance.

I love this song...it was such a *bold* move for such a recently debuted group from such a small company.

Anyone else miss the lyric exclamation👋 Interpretation the breakdown of the lyrics anyone

Hey guys, love this reaction!! N.O is one of my favorite songs from this album. So to touch on the Matrix, even tho I saw it some 20 odd years ago, I never understood it lol. This song touches on the immense pressure young people experience in society to follow strict discipline to study and be successful in education and life in general. This is what makes BTS stand out, they talk about issues not usually found in music. Jordan, RM is also my bias, although V is who reeled me in, Suga is my bias wrecker. But regardless OT7! The hands in the background will also appear in later videos and yes, there are explanations on what they represent. Gonna go watch the extended video you guys put out today 🙂

This ended too soon. Never been happier that I joined a patreon. Only one I might add. And if no one has told you yet let me be the first. You 2 serve a great purpose in my life. For nearly 8yrs I’ve turned on and turned up BTS to motivate my way up out of some truly trying times. Lately, I find myself doing the same thing with your reaction videos. Right now I need more, so this is me headed over to the patreon. See you there. Borahea 💜

I am so happy that ya'll did this. RM had said, in an interview, that it is N.O. for no offense. Thank you for your reactions.

i wish i could afford your patreon, but as i live in brazil its really difficult. i will certainly miss your lyric analysis

Ok first thing I want to say is huge congratulations on 80k!! So so well deserved! And second I love this song and your reaction was once again amazing! I’m heading to patron now To watch the extended version. BORAHAE! 💜💜💜💜

I love that you guys are doing so many reactions but at the same time not all of us have the money to pay for patreon (I think that’s how you spell it) so my question is will you ever post the other videos you guys made on RU-vid? Btw like I said love you guys and your reaction, there one of the best! Saranghae 💜

Tae & Joon are my ult biases.. I'm an OT7, Namjoon is so inspiring. When Namjoon say something you feel it.. he is always right. He is so powerful. He has been through a lot. The respect I have for him is endless. Same with Taehyung. It's Taehyung's voice that introduce me to BTS. It's his song winter bear that changed my whole life. This song on is so underrated.they talk about a topic no one wanted to talk but as students all of us suffering. BTS is the best for a reason

I love you guys! You always make my day, thank you for your reactions!

All the patreon stuff Oh my god, being broke is sad

There are plenty of solo songs of each member, you need to react to JUNGKOOK MY TIME LIVE PERFORMANCE JIMIN SERENDIPITY LIVE JIN EPIPHANY LIVE V SINGULARITY LIVE. I don’t know if you read comments, but I just wanna say please react to live performances too

Don't worry, I'm in my 40s and haven't seen a Matrix movie. It just doesn't seem to motivate me to go check it out. 🤪

People in India can't pay for patreon... I hope patreon soon changes their policies about this. Anyways i love your guys reaction!! 💜💜

The moment jared said : RM is my bias, I smiled I'm so proud of him, he deserves all the love and respect from the whole world. Though V is my bias but I respect and adore RM so much he is the pillar of BTS.... Loved your reaction... 💜❤ Waiting for the next..... 🇮🇳❤

I feel like Suga is Jordan’s Bias and RM is his Bias Wrecker 😂😂💜

I recommend (lie) jimin's solo

You guys are doing amazing structuring the way you release your videos. 💜 Thank you for the effort! OMW to Patreon...

Is the Patreon like early access, or will the videos not be released to YT? Because I really want to see you guys reacting to their fun moments too :'D

Cool I was waiting for this song✨💜

RM said that N.O stands for No Offense.

As a fellow early RM bias you should really listen to Joke, Do You, Monster, and Throw Away 😊. For sure you will enjoy and relate to alot of what he says! He is so intelligent and his wordplay is NEXT level! To be clear these are his solo works from his mixtape. Suga is a bias wrecker for me with his solo mixtape works such as People, The Last, Agust D, Give It To Me, and the Legendary track Daechwita! Don't even get me started on Jhope! 🤣 the rhythmic way he uses his flow is out of this world! I drove 6 and a half hours to see him perform at Lollapalooza and it was worth every second! Baseline, Blueside, Piece of Peace, Hansang, Airplane, and his entire Jack In The Box album (but especially Equal Sign and What If) all of these songs from all 3 of the rap line are in my everyday play list! The vocal line is a whole nother story 😂😂😂🤣🤣 not enough time or space to say everything I want to about these Men!

The dance practice for this is amazing. Would love to see a reaction to it in the future♡♡

I usually don’t subscribe to Yotubers patreon’s but your reactions and videos are just too good to not! Will be subscribing ☺️

Although I'm not Korean but being an Asian I can relate to the problems the students were experiencing. Academic achievements always weigh a lot in Asian society. I respect BTS so much for bringing the issues to people's attention in this song. By the way, you're not the only two in the world who has never seen a Matrix movie. I have not seen any Matrix or Star Wars movie.

Loved this reaction of yours. Especially glad that you noticed the hands in the mv (spoiler alert), keep those hands in mind as they will be returning 😉 I think it’s such a gift how you spend so much time making these videos and interpreting the meaning of the music, lyrics and mv. I, as an ARMY, love what you do and am thankful for your love for BTS and ARMY. We are so glad you joined our community, another big welcome!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

EXCITED AS ALWAYS!

Omg does that mean chapter 3 of rise of bangtan’s coming soon too? I’m super excited for you guys to get back into the series ☺️💜 also, NO is easily one of my top face bangtan songs. That song is so powerful.

Can’t wait! Yay! 💜

I need to get on that patreon 😭 soon for sure!! Also RM only gets better from here if that’s even possible hahaha

I can't get enough of your BTS reactions. I always look forward for your uploads. There's a lot of youtube reactions here about BTS but yours really stood out for me because i felt the genuine deed to learn who really BTS is. I consider BTS very personal to me because they helped me overcome my dark days by planting that purple heart in me through the comfort of their music which i listen to everyday. And seeing someone, like you, who appreciates BTS as much as we do makes my heart melts. Thank you so much for loving our home. We truly appreciate you both. Love you! From Philippines. 💜💜

Thank you so much for this video of BTS. I love your reaction channel.

Guys, thank you so much for your reactions. I would like to ask if Patreon is not available in my country, but I really want to support you and watch more content about Bts with you. You may be able to upload these videos to some other platform? Such as Twitch or Boosty

React to Jhopes Lollapalooza preformance!!!! You will 100% not regret it’s and amazing preformance 💕💕

Esperando esta reacción una de mis canciones favoritas 👍👌🖑 thanks Jared and Jordan ❤ so beautiful guys .

do lyrics really have to be moved to patreon? 😭 they're the most important part of their music and you guys seem to appreciate them so much it's just sad not being able to see it because patreon is not available in a lot of countries and some of us just don't have 5 euros a month for reactions videos... i understand paid content being there or some extra stuff for your patreons only but can you please keep the lyric reactions on youtube 🙏🏻🤍

Oh my God I wish I had patreon in my country. I'm so sad😣

Oh my god I’m waiting pls 🥰💜

I love watching you guys. Thank you 💜💜

BTS is the voice of the voiceless.

Enjoyed your reaction!!! Thank you for reacting!!! Congratulations by the way!!! I was a little sad the the lyrics where moved to Pateron but that is okay it was still a wonderful reaction. Personally I relate to Suga, Jhope, and Jin the most however I love them all. Idk I just don’t want to say that I have a bias. Idk I just don’t like saying this person is my favorite because every song, moment, voice, etc. it changes in the moment. To each their own though. I have no problem if you do… Personally I love the lyrics talking about “if money, big car/big house will bring you happiness?“ Honestly in the day and age I feel people think these bring happiness. I just don’t think that is true. I think that they might be temporary happiness or comfort but not life time happiness. It also depends on the way we live our live if we will be happy (also how we view the world too). Another lyrics that I loved was when Suga is questioning why the world teaches us to step on one another and bad competition. It is interesting because in other companies from what I have learned it is that when they are trainees their is tons of competition and people trying to beat one another basically without helping others (stepping on each other to get where you want to be). While some people work better different ways I find it interesting that when BTS where trainees, RM encouraged everyone to help one another and grow together. I think this might actually have a big part of how BTS treat each other, their relationship with each other, and how they got to where they are today. Yes they all work hard and do their best and try and do their part. However all the members help each other and encourage one another along the way. For instance Jhope wasn’t forced into become like the “dance leader/teacher”. However Jhope stepped up and took his role to make BTS the best it can be. Same goes with the other members growing into their roles in the group. Sorry I am rambling. What I am trying to say is that we should encourage one another, be helpful, and be an example so that others can grow as well. Not only will it make you happy but would bring everyone up, instead of being in a world where we are “stepping on one another” and not caring about others failures. Idk hopefully this made sense… Once again thanks for sharing and reacting!!! P.S. I believe most ARMY just called this song NO. However it doesn’t really matter if you say N.O. I feel it is like their song Outro: Tear. It could be called tear (like ripping a paper) or tear (like being sad and crying 😢). Edit: I forgot to mention I have never seen the Matrix so I am with you guys on that.

I love hanging out with you guys even though I missed the live show.

One thing I learned from bts songs is be tough, have your own way, don't let anyone control your life. Imagine how haters throw stuff to them but instead of fighting back they put their anger in their lyrics. Btw, RM is my bias..you should check his first mixtape and his mono album too..

yayy I love your bts reactions

Can you upload this reactions to RU-vid too pls I really want to watch it but I can't

I really wanna support ur patreon but i didn't have enough money..i hope u could release the videos, especially the funny videos in youtube..i really wanna see ur reaction to that kind of videos...

Oh wow, a new video for BTS and finally with the best hearty song, I really hope you enjoy it, I'm excited for your reaction to it Boraheaaaaa💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Yeeeeessssssss Jared and Jordan are here finally....... I'm so excited for your upcoming BTS reactions💜 the way you guys do it it's just so exceptional And yes wanted to say one last thing although it feels awkward to put this request here but I'm doing this here because in Every video I was so late to put a comment due to the time difference we are👉👈 And I Know you guys really put your best efforts in bringing us these BTS videos as they deserve, but I still wanted you to know that we'll really be grateful if you could check out MY YOU song by Jungkook which he released on BTS's 9th anniversary, it really is so special for us, I couldn't help but sobbing inside feeling so loved by him because of that infinite love he has for us in his beautiful heart when I watched this and I really want you guys to feel that warmth of love that jungkook has put into this song.... I don't think that there'll be even a single ARMY who couldn't feel the love that JK conveyed through his vocals because he always outdoes himself doing this so please consider doing it💜💜 I hope you guys read this today.... BORAHAE 💜💜

Hi Jared and Jordan... I'm one of your international subscribers and I really love your content but it'd be really great if you upload the full video here because it's impossible for me to sign up for Patreon since I'm from the middle east 🥲but I really wanna see your reaction to the lyrics so plssss upload it here too Love u and purple u💜

Honestly RM’s Stan’s are all intellectual and we love it 💜 it’s so easy to relate with the tannies

Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. The names of the albums are cute and catchy for the youth. Their target audience were adolescents remember. They were not aware that their songs would speak to all ages. I feel like BTS started a conversation with ppl and they have been talking to us for 3 albums straight about the same topic. It's mindboggling but so cool. So glad u liked this. I love this song. It's so catchy. Adore the MV too. BTS always speaks the truth. Hugs. Later's. -NY USA 2019 Army💟 Cheyenne said on 12/2021 Just like a few people already mentioned but BTS and their albums basically grew along with the members. As you know, the members were extremely young when they first debuted and most of them were still in school and kids. Their first three albums heavily focused on the school education system, childish innocent teenage love, and struggles that the youth have to go through because the boys have experienced that sort of thing themselves. They wanted to relate and protect the youth. Once you go through more of the albums you'll notice the older they get, the more mature the themes will get and so will the messages.
