The translation is a bit odd, as baepsae translates into crowtit, a small bird with short legs. This song is based on an old Korean idiom about knowing your place: “If a crow-tit (or parrotbill) tries to follow a stork, it’ll split its legs.” It teaches how you should tailor your ambitions to the measure of your abilities or the resources given to you. But BTS refuses to stay in their lane, but to risk the pain of ‘splitting their legs’ by taking bigger steps, such as the storks who were born into advantage. It’s about their beginning as underdogs but fearlessly breaking out of this status and pursuing their dreams. Several of the moves imitate the smaller crowtit steps, and others those of the long-legged storks.
I think it falls in line with the fact that the title was later changed (or at some point changed) to "Silver Spoon," so it's a call back to that? But yeah the chorus does look weird when at one point it's translated as "tryhard" - which fits with the idiom meaning - and at another as "silver spoon." The gist of the meaning is there though, for sure.
In BTS we thrust…. I mean trust 😂. No fo real, I love this song. The beat and mix is fire. The lyrics run so deep. There’s an awesome explainer out there about this song by Koreans that shows how many shots they’re taking at Korean social structures. This is one of their "goofing off" dance practices. Check out the Halloween ones if you wanna laugh your ass off. Great reaction!

Baepsae is well known with it's hip thrusts...specifically j-hope's hip thrusts 😅🤭. You should watch the explanation video about this song. The live version is a must too 😊👍.
Thanks Stryker, for working tirelessly for us after your hard day at work. This number when performed LIVE aways makes the crowd goes absolutely wild! 💜
😝😘😁 HONEY ❤️ THIS PRACTICE! IF I'M NOT MISTAKING! IS THEIR KINDA SILLY! VERSION 😅OF THE DANCE PRACTICE! BUT CHECK OUT THE LIVE VERSION OF THIS SONG! IT'S HARD AND GOOOD!!! LOVE YOU 💕
Considering when this song was written and came out to now, it's 100% profound. When BTS debuted there were The 3 Big record labels SME, JYP, & YGE. They literally controlled the industry & could actually get indie groups, like BTS at the time, blackballed & slimmed out of music show productions with their power. Think of it like Capitol, Universal, & Warner blocking the path of 'XL Recordings' with artists like Adele & Radiohead from being able to promote their music...That's what BTS had to deal with back in the day... Big Hits, their OG label is indie...Through the dedication and hard work, or as this song indicates "Tryhard", their label, which has now relabeled under their parent company Hybe Corp, they've become internationally successful. BTS singlehandedly have been 1/2% of the entire GDP of South Korea. Hybe earned so much money internationally they were able to surpass South Korea's Big 3 record labels, and in 2021 bought out Ithaca Holdings from Scooter Braun. This made Justin Bieber & Arianna Grande label mates with BTS, and BTS's label now manages their careers. It's such a turn of events that earlier this year Hybe went to make a hostile takeover of 1 of the Big 3 -- SME, who fought it and ended up being bought out by Kakao instead. Again, think about this... the little fish became a shark and now it's starting to attempt to eat up the whales. That's why this song is so prophetic and epic...it's like they were predicting their own futures through sheer willpower.
I love BTS dance practices when they are just being silly, being themselves...the chaotic BTS we love to watch. The live performance of this song is a must to watch. Glad you are vibing to this song
Love it! My favorite dance practice is 'War of Hormones (Real War)' It's hilariously funny! Gives you a great sense of their goofiness & the song is fire too! 💜
More direct translations talk about storks and the bapsae bird (AKA in English, the crow tit bird). It goes back to an old Korean saying. Bapsae are little birds with little legs (they represent the everyday man), and storks are long legged (the people in power). There's the idea that the "storks" keep telling the "crow tits" to keep up and try harder, when all they'll really do is damage their little legs that are at an unfair disadvantage. There's a really good explanation video from DKDKTV
It’s funny you rewind back to Suga in all black, impressed with that swaggy move and actually he’s the rapper who didn’t want to be an idol and have to dance and was lied to at signing that he wouldn’t have to dance 😂 and look how good he became 💜
Lol, this made my day!! And this was one of their "goof off practices" so if you saw the whole vid there was a before scene where they were betting on who had to do JHopes dance break at the end and Suga lost....to this day this vid is on repeat on my watch list!! Love those moves and those boys💜OT7
This song sounds fun but it is actually an important protest song "Baepsae explained by a Korean " DKDKTV 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 For some of their songs just knowing the lyrics isn't enough
At the end when Suga was being silly, that's a space in the choreography left for a "freestyle break" ... in all the real performances j-hope does the freestyle break - a different one he designs for each and every performance
Thank you for this reaction! You’re right. This song is a whole vibe! I live for their silly dance practices. And I know you said you’re going to get to the live performances….But this one live is next level. I recommend the live one while this is still fresh to you. 💜
Hope world by j hope is awesome also great album I’ve been a Army since 2017 I saw them on American music awards. I hadn’t watched them for years because I was not interested in the music was out there. I just happened to turn the TV on and BTS just started performing and I’ve been down the rabbit hole every since I am 56 years old. I love them they have helped me through hard times, and they are deeply in my heart.
I love all genres of music music lyrics love it I used to listen to Marilyn Manson and the Red Hot Chili Peppers is my favorite band. But I’ve been listening to nothing but BTS and watching Korean dramas since 2017 lol
This is a favorite especially live the energy they have on stage with this is so much fun. It will take you a while to say you have a favorite because all their music is amazing. Thank you for another wonderful reaction!
Stryker, I don't think you've checked out Rm's Joke Mv yet. I really think you oughta check it out, if ya want, cuz it's kinda over the top, and I think you'd dig it.
Feeling good thanks. How U doinnnnggg? 😅 yes, pace yourself is a good idea. I tell you we're missing them so much right now but Jimin's coming with FACE and he just dropped 'Set Me Free Pt2' 🔥🔥💜
So idk if anyone said it before me but this was a dance practice but they were having some fun too. SUGA had to be a little extra at this practice haha. Check out their Halloween dance practices they are the best and watch misheard lyrics, u will die laughing!
Well I figured somebody is bound to have told you that this was them being in one of their funny practices they were just being plumb silly in parts of this! So if you wanted about why some of it was kind of not their normal synchronicity it's because they were being somewhat silly in this video and it's known for that! I actually truly love this video so much and I love the song this is a great song but you need to watch some other videos of them performing it!
Oh and may I add that what Kookie and Jimin do for those clothes should be illegal and registered as a weapon...oh baby who know ripped jeans and a plain white shirt could make us lose our minds!!! 🤪💜7
Ah damn it’s the mirrored version dance practice 😅 it’s a pet peeve of mine but I just can’t watch them because they feel wrong, since it’s all backwards 🙃
Just subbed and i LOVE that you are paying attention to their choreo. They always bring it. Every time. I can't wait to see what you check out from them next. :) Welcome to the fandom! When you have time and are more rested I would suggest you check out a guide to BTS. I think you will really appreciate where they have been and what they stand for.
HELLO, I AM NEW TO YOUR CHANNEL AND I MUST SAY THAT I THOROUGHLY ENJOY YOUR REACTIONS TO BTS! I AM A 58 YEAR YOUNG USA ARMY MEMBER AND I'M SO PROUD! PLS REACT TO NOT TODAY MV BY BTS. YOU WILL DEFINITELY ENJOY IT! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! 💜
This translation seems a little weird to me ? . The Doolset one is more accurate, and meaningful, and make the choregraphy more understable with the crow tits/stork legs. Aniway, the song is amazing with his social et societal backlash, and the dance practice is so good !
Jimin (the dancer you like) from BTS just dropped his new solo video and it is crazy good. Just him and the best dancers I have ever seen. If you like dancing it is a whole other level. The supporting dancers must have been handpicked as the world's best. They don't even seem human! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UaywgAqcLxI.html
