Yoongi has always struggled with fame and the pressures of it, he's expressed how much anxiety he gets when he realizes how much more attention BTS is slowly getting as time passes. I think it was when they confirmed that BTS would be performing at the AMAs that he said he'd cried in his hotel bathroom because he was scared.
Idol was Namjoon's era. I said what I said and, I meant what I said. I think of Idol as DNA's cooler, younger sister lol. It was a powerful way to end the Love Yourself era. Also, as someone to grew up and continues to live in Southern Africa, it was so cool hearing sounds from music around here in Idol. Even friends of mine who aren't into kpop said it sounded like House music lol (House is a genre of music around here. Very different to Western House music)
I remember crying when i watched and heard SHADOW for the first time. When Yoongi said he went home after winning an award from a western award show and cried himself inside his hotel room because their fame at some point scared him and all the internal struggle that came with it. I love how vulnerable he is in the song. 🥺
Anpanman is a bop and, it's on Love Yourself: Tear. My personal favourite album from them and easily one of their best to this day, in my opinion. So excited for you to get into that era. It was my first comeback and, I was never ready 💀💀💀
Persona, Serendipity and Singularity need to fight amongst themselves for my favourite intro lmao. I've never been able to choose between the three of them. Namjoon went crazy 😭😭😭😭 It was such a fantastic way to start the album and, the conversations within it
@@Scarlynx Don't know if you have found it yet but yeah it's a version that is off key. Here's the full version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QaCKTknOLZk.html
JAW DROPPED AT THE NOTIFFFF, i love when you react to my boys 😭🫶 i love all your other reactions to other groups and soloists BUT something about you reacting to my ults and your first group makes me the happiest !!
idol live hits different its just thousands of people screaming you cant stop me loving myself and the energy from bts dancing is insane its known as one of their hardest choreos
Hi Caitlin! So at the start of the video I know you said you were kinda overwhelmed with filming and catching up on groups and what not so I just want to let you know that you dont need to feel pressured to do bts reactions. We all enjoy them very much and get excited when we get your notification but bts will be there for you to comeback to whenever you feel ready. They aren't going anywhere, and we aren't going anywhere. Just go at whatever pace you feel comfortable with. Im gonna go watch your reaction now, have a nice day/night 💜
This was so sweet thank you so much 😭🥺💕 I’m currently taking a 2 day break but I’m so excited to keep discovering more of their music! Thank you for supporting me and joining me on this journey! 💜
Yeah I think you'd like lights a lot! But you should also listen to stay gold and your eyes tell, another japanese song, but the live versions, they are amazing!! Love your content 👍👍
Interlude Shadow, GOAT! I can see the reference and the emotional outburst of Suga. Low-key when he said King, Daechwita came to my mind. The lyrics prick to bones, such a great lyricist. RM's persona reminds me of BIL era RM so much. Spit it off Mr. Namjoon. IDOL is my song for a crazy day, then Stay Gold for reassurance of brighter days. They are literally serving me everything. Cait, such a bubbly person, ILY!
Shadow has a second verse on spotify!! Where he referenced his famous line from No More Dream. Listening to this song always make me cry. I just feel every word he was singing about.
Persona (RM) - Know myself Shadow (SUGA) - Accept myself Ego (Jhope) - Love myself and let's go further. What a perfect trilogy!! And, Stay Gold was released during pandemic. "Just stay gold. The sparkle will find you even you are in the darkness."
I'm sure others have mentioned this but the live performance of "Idol" from the 2018 MMA's is INCREDIBLE! If you have a chance, you should definitely watch it. Along with that RM opened up their 2019 MMA performance with "Persona" and OMG, another must watch. That whole performance is a masterpiece but not sure if you've heard every song yet that they did in it. BTS live is just on another level, especially those 2 award show performances.
I don’t know if anyone already told you or if you’ve noticed, but the last part of the song when it switched, it was actually his shadow talking to him. if you listen closely to the lyrics and the visuals you can definitely see that, he’s genius!
i love idol so much! the fact they did a colab with Nicki too for the remix, was crazy in 2018! the lyrics too, from what hes said joon really struggled with if he could be a "real" artist and rapper while being an idol but in this it's like he's saying f you I don't care anymore
persona, shadow and ego are all part of Carl Jung's psychology! I think originally it was meant to be a trilogy but after Mots: persona they decided to include shadow and ego on Mots:7 instead
Watching you reacting to those songs makes me feel like I have someone beside me Stanning BTS makes me a bit lonely since majority of my friends who actually loves BTS are so far I only talked to them online, while you read the lyrics and understand them makes me feel so much better I really love their lyrics and I really like when I see someone resonate with them I really love the vibes of me having the same thoughts by you a reactor it makes me feel less lonely than I already am so thanks! I remember my place experiencing an earthquake while I was waiting for the comeback (map of the soul persona) I kept myself safe while being crazy for RM's TEASER OH GOSH I LOVE HIM SO MUCH😭
The suits are made with Ankara print cloth, it's traditional African patterns (im forgetting which countries claim it as theirs but it's several), and during the oh-oh-ooowoh part of the chorus boys are dancing an African dance called gwara gwara; African armys loved the representation 💜 there are also many elements of Korean culture in outfits, rhythms, and set design! So it's a great blend
WHAT OMG OMG. So happy you reacted to these. Thank you Caitlin. You made my day. I'm so excited for the comeback! Cant believe its your first full album cb 😭💜
Caitlin i just wanted to say thank you for being so amazing, you always keep me a company and you're literally the most amazing and such an entertaining person!! Keep going!
yeah, MOTS is like looking back to the past.. the samples of Persona, Shadow and Ego are from the intros of their first 3 albums... you'll see when you react to MOTS: Persona and 7
they're all amazing songs that I'm passionate about, thanks for the react. Stay Gold is truly an amazing song, visually, lyrically, vocals make me feel warm in times of pain and sadness
omg I literally hooked my phone up to my car so I could watch this on the way to work lol. Honestly watching you react to shadow almost made me cry. In terms of song writing namjoon and yoongi’s styles really compliment each other and speak to me personally. The entire rapline trio in general are like three parts of a perfect whole. But with persona and shadow you can really see it-Namjoon’s lyrics are very introspected and make you think and relate it to your own experiences while Yoongi’s lyrics are incredibly raw and personal and even though they’re specific to him, you just Get It. Probably a part of why they’re my ults is their music, it never fails to affect me.
dude when i saw shadow live during the d-day concerts, the passion and emotion he performed it with was just insane. his delivery is what truly makes his songs so heart wrenching. love yoongi so much
BTS is what introduced me to kpop and I'll always have a soft spot for them despite the fact that I'm more involved in other groups. They do just hit different.
I just want to take the time to appreciate how much content you put out for us like you never fail to surprise me with all the videos you react to and it's still quality content. I hope you aren't pushing yourself too much to put out these reaction videos because I can't begin to imagine how straining it must me to watch this much content and on top of that edit so I wish for you to stay happy and healthy always!!
Gurl you're one of my favourite reactors and i literally get excited whenever you get excited, it's like you're my army friend 😆 i watch your reactions to other groups too but i just love it when you react to bts cuz they're my ults. And i haven't watched the past few bts videos of yours cuz i was always busy with something and forgot about it, but now I'm gonna binge them! Hope you have a great day/night! 💜
When you said "I feel like I just had a therapy session with RM" I was just nodding so hard. That's how BTS always makes me feel. And that's why they mean so much to ARMY. They really are musicians and artists for healing. 💜
There is a second verse in Shadow that is not played in the MV. I encourage you to listen to the full version of the song on your own time and look up the lyrics because that second verse broke me 💔
Oh, so happy you did another BTS marathon! Idol was such an iconic song and seeing it live is almost an out-of-body experience of happiness and hype. There are a lot of references for Korean culture and also criticism BTS received in the past (like the glasses etc). Shadow and Persona are just two amazing songs that complement each other a lot and they are still very hard-hitting and very Namjoon and Yoongi at the same time. When you listen to them with the album, you will notice how well they fit with the whole concept and the whole "story" in it. BTS lyricism is just unmatchable. Stay Gold is such a feel-good song. Very chill and happy and just makes you stay with a warmer heart, like a comforting hug. Excited to see your experience with the full album when you arrive at that era. It is incredible. Great video as always, Caitlin
what a rollercoaster of songs to react to lmao. For some reason i was under the impression that you had already reacted to every bts mv? so it was a really nice surprise to see you react to more stuff from them. Amazing video as always!
Caitlin we’ll always wait for your reactions to bts no matter how long, we just love seeing u react to the boys, I’m very excited for the comeback and also excited for you to continue from wings era 💜
I love you so much Caitlin. Watching your videos always makes me happy. I've been with you since you first discovered bts and through you I have found so many new artists to listen to as well and I will forever be grateful for that(to you and all the Bubbles who wanted you to watch all those artists lol). Please don't let yourself get overwhelmed with keeping up with all the content that's pouring in from all these artists though. It's ok to take your time with it, the music will not go anywhere. I will always keep watching and I bet so will so many other Bubbles. Sometimes I worry you drive yourself too hard. Love you and stay gold :)
That was so much fun Cait.. Thank you so much.. I enjoyed it alot.. see you next time.. and take all the time you need.. we're here for you girl.. borahae 💜💜💜
Stay Gold is a very special song for me, I remember that when it was released I heard it and I was speechless, the good energy that this song conveys, and it is so beautiful, their voices, the lyrics, everything, make me light is really an amazing song...
YOWWW I'M CAN'T BELIEVE I LET MYSELF FORGET HOW FREAKING GOOD PERSON BY RM IS!!!! MA GOSH IT SLAPS SO FREAKING HARD AND THE LYRICS ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOO DAMN GOOD AND PHILOSOPHICAL?!? WOWWW GO OFF KIM NAMJOON
You still have so much to discover, the Proof album won't even cover it. Their jpn songs are awesome as well. Don't Leave Me, Let Go, Lights, Film Out so many good songs. All are on the album: The Best. I look forward to your future videos 💜
