BTS - My first reaction to OUTRO TEAR. 

Outro: Tear live in Wembley will and forever be iconic. Rapline in Dior doing what they were born to do. Jhope's ending part, he killed it.

Three things about Outro: Tear... - The Dior performance at Wembley stadium is just *chef's kiss* - There's actually a third meaning of tear in the song: Suga says T.E.A.R. in his verse. That's a psychological technique to deal with grief. It goes: T: To accept the reality of loss E: Experience the pain of the loss A: Adjust to the new environment without the lost person R: Reinvest in the new reality (Their lyrics are freakishly ingenious) - Their award acceptance speech from MAMA 2018 is an ARMY classic. Jin talked about them nearly disbanding and they absolutely broke down on stage. 😢

Also, Hobi in the end of this track, literally WHAT THE FCK, it made it SO more powerful!! Like, it usually would be him singing that last part and probably Yoongi making that hard rap, but NO?? He took it and did it masterfully, making it so powerful because it was completely unexpected and to hear Hoseok sound so desperate is always such a heartbreaking situation, it's such an impactful way of finishing the song! 💜

This song is so good, honestly, every single meaning and detail in it makes me feel something, i cried so much when Yoongi said it was about them and their almost disband situation :(

I once saw a tweet that said " how to make ARMY cry in one note" this does it every time!!

Oh yeah.... J-Hope left all ARMY on the floor with this one, especially with his legendary live performance of it in his Dior harness.... since he's usually a sunshine when delivers the finishing blow on this album with that sort of emotion it completely kills. Glad you liked it

I have never been a rap fan. Never. That being said, when I first heard this live, from Wembley, by the time they finnished I had chills and I was surprised to find tears streaming down my face. I didn't even know the deeper meaning of this song at that point. As great as they are live this one performance must be up there with the best live performances ever. Not just BTS, any live ever. Special. Plus those black Dior outfits are fire. Jim, you have to watch it live. As impressed as you were with studio version, the live is like 100 times more powerfull. It's a piece of art. Golden standard. Every singer should watch it as an example of what level of performance it is possible to achieve on a live stage. Mafnificent.

The “sample” sounded familiar because they played an instrumental version of it in a previous live performance or episode of rise of Bangtan and you liked it and asked the chat what it was so you could watch it later. I think it was an early episode of rise of Bangtan, because I remember thinking, “He’s got a long way to go before he gets to Outro: Tear. I agree with previous commenters that you need to watch the live version at Wembly with English subtitles. That is my favorite performance of the rap line of all time. The passion and desperation they perform it with and the raw pain on their faces elevate it to a whole other level of performance.

You should absolutely react to the live version at Wembley Stadium. Their expression, pain, passion , it's insane , a completely different experience. It makes me cry every time I see that performance . Incredible storytellers.Thank you so much for this reaction.💜💜💜

their live performance of this .. jhope at the end was the moment I realized rap could be that powerful to make you have tearsin your eyes.

This is one of my favorite verses for J-Hope when it comes to the rapline's songs. The live performance is also iconic.

I 100000% agree this is still to this day my favorite Jhope verse it gives me chills and I get emotional every single time without fail

I did not even notice Jhope's scream at the end. I'm mindblown 🤯 this was already my favorite song but now it's taken the top spot

Jhopes last cry =GOOSEBUMPS!!

j-hope always my makes my love him every time i watch his rapping..... He is so vulnerable and so deep honest that its get so crazy how amazing he is.

21:37 Lmao Jim! BTS is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get 😌😂

The live version is the most amazing thing I have ever heard. So emotional. JHope ends almost crying. This 3 boys are superb

Everytime…. Tears fill up my eyes. Can you imagine having to perform this from your heart on stage throughout their world tour? Yes I’ve witnessed it live and O M G……,,,

SUGA: The lyric for the" tear" were writen for the member. When i was writen the melody,at the time, we were contemplating whether we should quit or not. When i played the song for the member, we all cried together .😭😭😭💜💜

The cinematic/score part you are referring to is from the highlight reels. The part where Jin is driving and remembering and narrating and it’s night. Everything turns dark. You see them struggle. The imagery in combination with the music captures the sentiment of the song. That’s why it always gives me chills.

The Wembley live version is nigh on perfect. The emotions poured into it are astounding and JHope killed it. The perfect break up song, it electrified the crowd (I was there) I will never forget the day and this performance in particular. EPIC.

man, hobi definitely has the voice to be a rock band vocalist, for sure I freaking love his voice and I wish he sang more often on their discography 🥺

no matter how many times I've heard this song, j-hopes verse always gives me goosebumps and makes my heart speed up. there is no genre that j-hope cannot do.

This live at Wembley makes me cry, it's so passionate and an amazing performance...best ever from the rapline! ❤️

Yeah, I mean they all eat but Hoseok is the one everyone gets their heart chewed up and spit out by. Especially in the live. The delivery is so raw and powerful and sincere. It's gut-wrenching. You can really feel the pain and fear in his voice. He has a really powerful instrument that's naturally full of character and he's so expressive and dynamic even just when talking and I think that adds something really special to his rap.

You need to watch it live at Wembley, it makes me cry every time I watch it. Their verses are more powerful when you watch them deliver them.

hobi's verse in this song always gets tears in my eyes cuz he poured everything into it, I can literally feel his emotion as a listener and every single time he performs this one also, I watched it live quite close and it was my favorite part of the concert!!

I think thats the idea of the whole love yourself series. Her is about that fleeting feeling of being in love that's why it's so bright, then when Tear comes it becomes chaos because you start to lose who you really are by hiding in a mask and doing anything just to please the other person, which is a toxic kind of love (fake love). The last installment, Answer is realizing that you should learn to love and accept yourself along with your all flaws and shortcomings (as exemplified by the songs Epiphany and Answer: Love Myself). It can even be seen in the album cover designs of the three, Her depicts the blooming of love (flowers), then love falling apart (falling petals) in Tear, and lastly self-love taking its place (hearts) in Answer. ☺️ The love yourself series is seriously a journey and an experience and the amount of hardwork and dedication these boys had in order to get the message across is just 👌 Thank you for exploring this! 💜 Another fun fact: As early as Epilogue: Young Forever (which is the album before Wings), they already left a teaser for the LY series. if you'll notice in the Fire MV, there is an end message "Boy meets WHAT". It's actually a nod to the LY series-Love Yourself: W(onder), H(er), A(nswer), and T(ear). LY: Wonder is not an album, but a theme/prologue of sorts. It's seen in Euphoria's video. Also lastly, WHAT is mentioned in Outro:Her's lyrics at the end: All of my Wonder, the Answer for that; I call you Her, Her cuz you’re my Tear, Tear

Jhope always gives me chills in this song with his passion

i just love this song because you can really feel every word they say, its so powerful and nostalgic.

please do Tear Live at Wembley..in black Dior outfits.... JHope's delivery rips me, esp knowing him as the sunshine in the group, the rawness in their delivery is beautifully painful💜

This is my all time favorite from Hobi, it’s difficult to not cry on that part…

You have to see them performing this in their Wembley concert! You definitely should! 💜

You should watch a live version of this. They all pour their hearts out but J-Hope rips his soul out and throws it on stage. It is one of the most powerful performances I have ever had the privilege to witness live.

Outro: Tear live at Wembley cont to be one of my fav live BTS performances of all times. I consider that live performance even better than the studio version! You should check out DJ Jino as a reactor btw, you and him are some of the reactors that's i genuinely enjoy, and i think you guys will get along well! He's very well-versed when it comes to Kpop since he has a family history. But the reason why i like you guys is because you are honest when you say whether you like a BTS track or not, and not just liking everything that is BTS just because. And you guys react to all kinds of music, not just BTS. You guys might differ in music taste but i think you can have great conversations with each other! PS: be warned, Jino has a poker face when reacting but went offff when he dont like a track tho, like the guy have very little filter sometimes, so be prepared hahahahahhaha

This is one of my ultimate favorite songs from the rap line.. Or the group in general, actually. And YES, JHOPE's final delivery (the final blow) is my favorite part 🥺♥️ It gets to me EVERY SINGLE TIME! YOU GOTTA WATCH THE LIVE VERSION!!!

Suga is my bias. In my opinion, this is jhope’s track. Desperation is a great word for it. The LIVE is 10x more emotional. It’s a must watch.

Looove this song so much! And i really really really love Jhope's verse in this song. Please watch the live version at Wembley stadium

This song live It makes you high energy yet at the end it makes you cry.

I agree wholeheartedly. J-Hope is tugging at my heart strings in this one. There's real desperation, sorrow and pain in the way delivers his part 💔😢 And yes, truth untold 😭😏💜

From the very beginning to the last sentence, I agree with you about J-Hope. This is my beloved, invariably No. 1 rap line. Here I heard another J-Hope and I have looked at him differently since then. This is our sun, our smile and hope, but there is something deep in it that broke me into quarters.

Hope that you can check out their Live performance of Outro: Tear at Wembley Stadium with English subs. It was even more emotional and amazing.

My deepest shame is that I never understood nor felt anything for this song until I saw it live in Paris Stade de France. Hobi’s verse legit WRECKED ME

I've seen a lot of Army cry when Jhope finally delivers the killing verse at the end.

Loved this reaction! Such a gut wrenching song. I’m so glad they worked out their issues and continued on. I just think about how much we would have missed out on. 💜

Jhope on this song is iconic. And the live performance is even better!!!! Please post your reaction to it here. 🙏

I agree with everyone else the live Wembley performance in Dior outfits is a must. It is so intense. And Hobi just killed it!

As amazing as this is, you MUST listen to the live from Wembley. It is so powerful. And you are right about Hobi’s performance - this is the pinnacle of his performance for me and the live is even better.

I used to dislike rap. This song change my mind. Is perfect and makes me tear most of the time. Hobi part breaks my heart every time.

My favorite BTS song. BTS was on the brink of disbanding, Yoongi played this song for all the members, they cried together and talked about how to stay together. To follow this up, please react to their 2018 MAMA acceptance speech for artist of the year.

I love how the 3 of them bring different flavors to this song, each in their own angsty way. It's a breakup song but instead of a romantic relationship, it's them as a group. RM sounds utterly sad at the situation, Suga sounds angry and harsh and sarcastic, all coming from a place of feeling hurt, and Jhope sounds almost hopeful in a desperate way, as if he's in denial that it's really the end and is begging for them not to break up. I'm glad they didn't.

OUTRO TEAR!!! this is my favorite rapline song EVER! i cried the first time i heard this, i didn't even read the lyrics, but the delivery, the emotions, the way they pour their hearts out, i just know that it came from a very real and personal experience. years later, Yoongi shared that story and everyone will just bop and cry whenever this song comes in. oh, and the live is ABSOLUTELY heart wrenching and beautiful.

You already said all the things that needed to be said - that performance was guttural (tbh, it was gutting), desperate, and primal. I would love, love to see this side of j-hope again. He can use his voice - not just his flow, but his delivery - to take you on a journey.

I completely agree. this is hope's tipping point. the confidence he brings in this era with the verse and the live concert (as well as his mixtape) is just amazing.

they were all amazing. each rappers verse represented what they were feeling. you could hear it in all their voices

They have that kind of rap song in map of soul 7 too UGH They never stopped the strong raps in their songs they switch up styles frequently Even in BTS album BE 2021 they had really good rap lines in all songs of that album

This song makes me cry every time. It’s so raw and honest that I can’t help but feel the emotion in it. It really shakes me to the core as an ARMY. This whole album deserved more recognition. The Grammys nominated it for the packaging BUT neglected to pay attention to the piece of art that music inside contained.

Their live performance of this song at Wembley is one of my favorites! So emotional.

outro tear still makes me cry sometimes, the heartbreak of this song is so upfront i want to hide away from it. the live performance at wembley was out of this world

Cinematic: It was produced by SUGA, of course after going through Big Hit and the rap line it might have had it´s changes, but still the base was Yoon's, and he is all about cinematic music, his first video ever in Bangtantv was about sampling Man of nowhere OST (pretty good movie by the way).- Hobi's rawness and Yoon Gi taking the backsit: I feel like Yoon took a resignated part like just feeling the loss, you can say that Seesaw, SUGA's song in the next album follows the line of this one. During his speech at MAMA's at the end of 2018 (the album was released in May, 2018) Hobi cried and it was heart breaking, after that Jin explained the reason behind it, and we finally understood so many things, even Festa 2018s kind of misterious expressions and words. Turns out we almost lost BTS without even knowing, do you imagine for the fans to have such sudden realization? The Truth Untold and Outro: Tear: During the Love Yourself Tour the order was exactly that, The Turth Untold by the vocal line followed by Outro Tear by the rapline, the emotional charge even just watching fancams was damish god, to die for. The most beautiful performance for this song, Outro: Tear is this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UDuaJGYe8EQ.html, hopefully you watch it.

Yes, you have heard it before. This melody plays in the background of Love Yourself Highlight reels. It is this melody but different “arrangement” I guess.

I totally understand where you are coming from. I’m not a rap hip hop person either usually but this song got to me! The lyrics ,the delivery from all of them and the distorted vocal instrumentation of the track is just so haunting and raw. Their live version hits even harder when you see the passion in their delivery. You should watch it.

You definitely need to watch this live at Wembley Stadium if you think this studio version is primal! I’ve never seen anything like it! You will be in tears when J Hope leaves everything on the stage. Great reaction to this masterpiece! 💜💜

I love all their songs but LY: Tear has a special place in my heart. And to see this performed live..just the best!

If I had to choose one BTS, then this is my absolute favorite!!! The meanings in the lyrics and the effects used to emphasize their point. Like in SUGA's part where he raps "T.E.A.R" which a lot of us believe is reference to a psychological method with four tasks/proces of grieving (an acronym: 'To Accept the reality, Experience the pain, Adjust, and Reinvest by J. William Worden's Four Tasks of Mourning). I also love how they used autotune turned up a lot during his delivery to emphasize tearing/feeling torn, like how they've 'torn' the vocals with the autotune turned up. Also layering his vocals almost awkwardly making it sound like they have different opinion, thoughts and people talking,

Yes! This was the reaction I was waiting for. Thanks for posting it Jim! 💜

I hope you will view their LIVE performance at Wembley. If you thought this was raw, primal and from the gut… Once you’ve seen Outro Tear LIVE, it becomes etched in your brain, unforgettable music. Phenomenal artists!

RM is the brain, Suga is the emotion, Hobi is the heart 💜💜💜 keep in mind the each rapper always writes their words. Now think about Hobi… I’m sure others have said but I just finished watching so RM, tear as in crying Suga, tear as in ripping apart and Hobi, fear.

I know we love the audio version and can't be moved by it every time. But this doesn't come close to the Live. There it really felt like they are ripping their hearts out and feeling every word with their blood really. I can't watch it every time without bawling my eyes out, and they perform like they are in a trance, J-hope breaks my heart every time...it's too heartbreakingly beautiful.

I've been waiting for your reaction to this song! It's absolutely one of my favorites. I'm glad you liked it, too!

You should see the Live of this (I'm only where you're reacting to the lyrics 2nd time). J-Hope really kills it (well, they all do) in the Live, and you can truly see the emotion in them. We also found out they almost disbanded in their award speech at MAMA 2018. They were all crying. Apparently they considered that early 2018. I am Soooo glad they didn't or I may never have found them. Great reaction. I'm not big into rap actually, but I love this song even though it's so sad and makes me nearly cry or really cry every time I hear it.

It's funny you reacted that way from J-Hope's delivery - you need to watch the Wembley performance (night time-green gas fire, known for the dior outfitting). J Hope captures your attention for his verse at the end. Please watch it!

I really hope you watch the live performance. Especially the one where they’re wearing the black Dior suits. I THINK that’s from the speak yourself tour. They are so amazing but jhope is the best to me. 💜💜

My all time favourite BTS song,you must see this live 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

u must watch the live version at Wembley stadium. They killed it all🔥

You need to hear this live, it's even beter c:

"That's What BTS Does" take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, humans are emotional beings.🤔🙄😢 #ArmyWithLuv

LIVE performance please!!! Dior/Wembley Stadium was just chef's kiss. 😭💜

beautifully heartbreaking song. I strongly suggest you watch a live performance of Tear. The look on their faces, especially Jhope at the end... Nothing has been the same since we saw their performance. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!

You're so right and I always LISTEN intentionally to the background of BTS songs. It's wild like a song outside in a song. That was RM scream, I believe. 🔥💜 "we're gonna break you!" So true Haha 😄

CHECK OUT THE LIVE !!! JHOPE IN DIOR . IT LITERALLY KILLED ME , NO LIE

i literally cry whenever i hear this song. i was never into rap songs before, but this song and Ddaeng as well changed everything for me.

I saw this performed in concert before knowing the true meaning. It was by far my favorite part of the whole concert, which is saying a lot, because the entire things is amazing and I'm typically terrible at picking favorites ... the energy! Actually kind of grateful we didn't know the true meaning during the tour ... I don't know if we could have handled it, or if they could have. Loved your reaction to the live too!

The live version of this at Wembley is iconic, hope you can watch it Jim, there you can see all their expressions especially Hobi's and feel the song , the depth and the hurt in their voices etc.

The cinematic is what play in the Highlight Reels that's why it sound familiar

You rock, Jim!! Love this album review from you.

The Wembley performance brought actual tears to my eyes 💜💜💜

Yeah cried when I heard this live. Live nothing can beat this.

Before I found bts,Ididn't rap at all,but these guys are from another level and this song is a masterpiece and the live version brings me evertime tears in my eyes🙏💜

Finally, my ultimate BTS song of their entire discography

When Tear came out in 2018, we all thought "outro: tear" could not be about a random breakup. It was resentment, painful, sadness filled with hatred for themselves and almost hatred for others. Tear felt like someone ripped off their heart. In 2020 when Yoongi revealed that Tear is dedicated to the members, things made sense, but it become more painful. We all knew and saw what went down in 2018 MAMA speech.

You should see this song lived . You will love it . This song lived always get me goosebumps

Okay I posted my last comment before watching but now that I've seen how much you love how desperate jhope sounds omg james YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW PASSIONATE HE IS LIVE YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT PLEASEEEE

Love you jim!!! You're my fav Reactor!!! I just wanna shout it!

BTS had many underrated songs pls listen it 💜🥺 AND NEW ALBUM "PROOF" WILL BE RELEASED ON JUNE 10TH PLS SUPPORT THEM

Live performance.. I watched many times but each time I was crying.

Oh my goodness! This song is so emotional. PLEASE watch the live at Wembley, it is an OUTSTANDING performance. I barely breathe watching it. You’re doing a great job.

You will be floored by the live perfotmance.

Rm sing from the brain 💜 Jhope sing from the heart 💜 Suga sing from the soul 💜

Outro: Tear makes me cry. When I watch a video of them performing it live, it feels like they have taken my heart out of my chest and are kicking it around with spiked boots…Maybe because I saw them perform this 🤷‍♂️💔 Their pain is very raw, the anger and fear is visceral. Hobi’s last verse, I feel his agony…It leaves me drained. I love it so much, our rap line is incredible. Thank you for this 🙏💜
