BTS - School of Tears | 학교의눈물 by 방탄소년단 | REACTION 

They posted this song when they were trainees. RM, Suga, Jin watched school violence TV documentary film " Tear of school" and they made this sing in 2012.

not sure if youre aware of the school system in korea but they have very long school days then they have very long after school programs to the point the average student studies maybe 15 hours a day. mix that with the school system being corrupt and allowing wealthy parents to pay so their kids get higher test scores or get accepted even when theyre not qualified. and school violence and bullying is 10x worse than in the states. in the states theres the risk of guns but in korea the bullies are very violent without guns. i suggest watching the drama the glory many koreans have said it is not only based on true stories but its a very realistic depiction of how bullying is in korea. the laws protect the youth so most will get off with probation or sometimes not even that even for attempted mvrder the kids dont get punished. in the states we have juvie but because its not as strict in korea juvie doesnt stop kids from doing anything. i read a story a girl got 2 day school suspension even though she beat someone to a pulp and burnt them with a hair straightener.

Unfortunately lot of their songs were censored in SK back then.

"학교의눈물" (School of Tears) is an adapted song by RM, SUGA and Jin of Kendrick Lamar's song "Swimming Pools". The song was released on January 20, 2013.

Wow… not very many people react to this song, so THANK YOU!

Oh wow, never heard this and I'm 2017 ARMY 😮. Oh my God it's so true, they flowed FROM THE BEGINNING! Our boys are so cool😎

The fact that, after 10 years, the story in this song is still the same, make me sad

Love the line where it says parents made us step on our friends to get to the top.

I also recommend Shut Up or Vote by RM (it is a pre debut song)

Love that you are reaching back to pre-debut tracks…. This was released about 6 months before their debut Rm was 18, Suga 19, jin 20 The albums called the school trilogy and this track were truly based in their real lives and their revolt against South Korean norms … and that continues to this day….

AWESOME 👍🏼
