Classical Musicians React: BTS 'Prologue' Part 2 

"he's about to film his fucking friend's suicide?!!" that made me laugh so hard I screeched lmaooo

yunyi and kevin with the gay stuff are killiiiing meeeeee X'DD "in heaven they can be gay and free" -kevin 2017 (?)

"Maybe that's a sign of like ,when you grow up, the people that used to be really close to you ,you grow away from them and you become your own person ." Ohhhh My TEARS

just sayin, i think there's no right or wrong regarding the theories during hyyh or wings, because it can be interpreted as so many & various ways, but the meaning of those theories always leads to similar ways.

The HYYH era is still my favorite era. The emotions I felt and the impact it left in my life are truly wonderful. The most beautiful moment in life 💕

5 months later and the whole Love Yourself thing is going on and more confusion, i wish they can react but many graduated

"He's facing his fears. This is symbolic for facing his fears." Fiona, i love you so fucking much. I really enjoy that they could apreciate the beauty of Prologue and how sincere they were while filming it, truly enjoying their friendship.

you should've told them that no one knows the real story and that probably bangtan doesn't even know what's happening HAHAHAHAHAHA, so even if we "figure out" a story, we all may be completely off

I can't believe Davis remembers all the members omg👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😳😍

Does anyone else think that Jin is the one who is dead (because in multiple scenes you can see that he is barefooted and that is a symbol of death) and all the boys are suffering from his death, and become suicidal. Tae is taking it the worst though, since he holds it all in and kills his father in an act of rage (I Need U). In prologue, Jin is watching over them, and the boys are thinking about all the fun times they had together. Eventually Tae decides he cant take it anymore and tries to commit suicide. He doesn't succeed though. In Run, the boys are acting out because they think they are doing it for Jin. When Jin sees the house of cards fall, he reacts strangely, realizing that he is in fact not there, but dead. In Young Forever, they try getting over their loss. In Fire they try to erase all the bad things they've done by burning them. In Spring Day, they have all gotten over their loss. All except Tae. Tae once again tries to take his life by being run over by the train. When Jk and RP close their eyes, this means that they have realized its too late for Tae. The shoes are Tae's shoes since they are by the water where he first tried committing suicide. Jin dies because he overdosed and was in a really bad car accident (the car in water in prologue and the water at Jins feet during Fire). He had had his relationship with the girl from Just One Day and Boy In Luv.

Do react to house of cards by bts!!! Its amazinggggggg, and I am sure everyone will love it! I have been waiting for this 2nd part eagerly! Can't wait for the others!

"SHUT THE FUCK UP IT'S MY TURN" When your sibling keeps interrupting you 😂

Girl: "is he a vampire?" me : *dead*

To the question of whether he/they/it is not real or not, I'd like to leave Dumbledore's quote: "'Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?"

I don't think I've enjoyed reactions this much. They have such educated opinions and genuinely Care for every aspect of the mv like the cinematography, music, and the storyline. And best of all, they appreciate that art placed in front of them. Thank you dear person behind the camera for creating this channel because as much as I like fangirling over videos, input like this makes me appreciate things I wouldn't have seen and helps me see people that also appreciate details ( i was always annoyed at no one commenting on the sky at the end and freeze shot but now I'm happy :") ) ps- since all the reactors are educated in music, I feel they would quite enjoy house of cards the masterpiece that is the full version. Hopefully you see this and understand how happy you make me! All the love ♡

Shimon and Leah are pretty accurate on the friendship type of theory. There are many different sides to the theories - the Demian one, the suicide-murder thing, the one on maturity etc etc

I LITERALLY HAD TO STOP EVERYTHING IM DOING AND WATCH THIS ;;n;;

i really like this series with seeing how people that aren't super invested in the groups as groups, and more seeing it from the perspective of people watching the video things and actual music of the music (if that makes sense!) It's really good though and i like they way you edit it too (as well as the people) have you considered doing the wings tour trailer for bts? i really like that remix they used for the soundtrack, and i know it's short which could make it more effort to make a video for less stuff, but because it's short it could be easier to just show it to your friends after one of the others? thank-you for all of these though!

I personally love that scene when Taehyung jumped off the bridge. It's such a haunting scene that i have to watch it over and over again, and listen to the song as closely as possible.Remember, Taehyung jumped off the bridge when he was having such a good time with his friends, esp in comparison to his personal issue with his family. Tae decided to jump off the bridge when he was having probably the best time of his life.He was trying to cling on to that short, beautiful moment of youth. Youth is just like the life cycle of a butterfly, beautiful, but so short and fragile.And that moment when Tae jumped, everything just froze. He wanted to jump, because only by that way can his youth stay forever.

"Oh my god, you could've just said that!" "SHUT the fck UP, it's my turn" I really like that scenes af

I swear all of them literally trying to working out what the polaroid shot meant was me the first time I saw the videos and discovered BTS...and fell into this rabbit hole..

So I cried a little when y'all were talking about losing people as you get older, because you guys remind me so much of the group of friends that I had when I was a music major in college, which has been over 15 years ago now. I come across some of them every now and again, but for the most part all I have are memories. I have never really connected the message from HYYH to that part of my life. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful group of friends with us. Their musical insights and their charming personalities are making this series a must watch in the world of K-pop on RU-vid. Thanks again from your Ahjussi Bassoonist Fan!

"It sounds like the House of Cards soundtrack." Yes Kevin, the title of the song IS House of Cards

You should make them react to the "Wings Short Films" about the whole Demian story!! They'll be able to listen to each member's solos too..

" k-k-kp-k-kpop it just breaks my mind." Every Kpop fans very.

The best theory: they can be gay and free But Yunyi come and makes it angst again telling to us that they'll go to hell, I'm jungshooked

[Important note: The following theory and all subsequent theories/explanations for the HYYH Trilogy have been published on this site back in July 2016, so before the Wings short films were released - and confirmed all this was indeed accurate.] The HYYH Trilogy is simply a coming of age story. It tells the struggles the boys are facing while transitioning from childhood to adulthood, from being caterpillars to being butterflies (chrysalis stage). But it’s even more so the story of Jin struggling with his own metamorphosis, trying to return to the “pretend world” of Neverland where he thinks he will be able to reconnect with his youthful self and feel as a whole again. Filled with dense, thoughtful symbolism, the Trilogy has an Inception-like feel to it (with an outright reference to the movie in the Prologue, using its soundtrack during the end credits). I NEED U, The Prologue and Run are a retelling of the same events, over and over, with shifting timelines and perspectives between characters. Readings of what the boys are aren’t mutually exclusive (far from it): each of the boys has his own storyline, illustrating typical stages and feelings of adolescent life: self-hatred and pain (J-Hope), grief and depression (Jimin), anger and rebellion (V), angst and confusion (Suga), volatility and longing (JKook), denial and survival (Rapmon) - what they go through and represent can be interpreted differently depending on the viewer. They are their own selves, with their own, multi-layered narratives, but they should primarily be interpreted as parts of Jin’s own psyche (Jin is indeed referred to as #psique on Instagram for the concept pictures). Ultimately, the whole HYYH Trilogy is about the process of transitioning from boyhood to adulthood Jin goes through, and an allegory for growing up. In order to reconcile his old and new self and be able to move forward, all the boys will have to come to terms with the end of youth so they can all move on together to the next stage of life (Jin’s life). Until then though, they’ll be stuck and won’t be able to break the cycle of dreams that makes them relive their struggles. As with Inception, the subject of the Trilogy is not the more blatant one. The movie was ultimately about the inner journey of a man, Dom Cobb, struggling against himself and his regrets over the death of his wife, haunting him and preventing him from moving on. The piece “Je ne regrette rien” by Edith Piaf is used every time as a wake-up song for people involved in a common dream to tell them the effect of the sedative will soon end and that they will wake up. It is played here at the end of the Prologue with the same intention to wake the boys up from their common dreamland, their Neverland. Both in the movie and the Prologue MV, the message behind the song is obvious: “Do not regret anything”. The lyrics tell Dom Cobb to stop living in regrets, to set aside his obsession about the death of his wife and go on without her; they tell Jin, ou main character/entity, the same thing: to stop living in regrets, to set aside his obsession about the end of youth and move on. More than a concept about the Most Beautiful Moment in Life, truly the HYYH Trilogy is about the hardships of growing up and letting go of one’s youth (butterfly metamorphosis). The flash backs to happy times are only there to remind us of what has been lost. But there’s a message of hope behind this, still. In the end, Jin is able to reconnect with his whole self and move forward, taking the Lost Boys of Neverland with him into the real world. Jin first thought he had to leave the emotions of his youth (personified by the boys) behind in order to become an adult, but comes to realise by the end that he does not have to, that youth really is a state of mind. This will later be reaffirmed very loud and clear with Forever Young and Fire, outside the Trilogy but still part of the HYYH cycle. [Edit, September 2016: As for the Wings short films, they are an umpteenth reenactment of HYYH, but based this time on the classic coming of age story of Demian, written by Hermann Hesse. Whereas the HYYH cycle had left most viewers confused, the Wings short films gave away some pretty straight-forward answers, but also put a greater focus on individuality and morality, most probably to fit Bangtan’s new concept of “Boy meets evil” for the new, more mature Wings era (it seems they will also have solos). By introducing the notion of good and evil, the Wings short films actually serve as a link between the 2 eras.]

actually, my theory is that Jin is the only one who is dead and in I need you the others are all suicidal whilst grieving, but Jim is just moving to heaven. In prologue jin is on his way to heaven and as he is transitioning to that paradise he remembers all the good times he's had with his best friends, which is why he watched from afar or through a camera instead of taking part, it's also why he spaced out when he saw the butterfly (because it made him realise he was actually dead), and it's also why Suga wasn't in the picture. the reason tae jumped was because in real time he had just killed his father. So the prologue starts with v in real life having killed his father and calling rap mon for help, then it goes to jins imagination as he ascends to paradise with tae all alone until he is greeted by Ramon. also with the golf scene they hit a toy car into the water, the toy car symbolises the way jin died which was an overdose that lead to him drowning in his car. this is also shown at the end as the camera angles make it look like he is surrounded by water in his car. there are so many more hints to what happened that are explained in this video I watched that I will link down below. I think you will find it interesting and in my opinion jin being dead makes more sense than all 6 of them being dead. thanks for reading x

Damn Umu you're really spoiling us with that schedule. I look forward to your videos every week and I'm never disappointed, once again thank you so much for the time and effort you guys put into your videos 💖 P.S: Don't forget to add AKMU (and "Arirang Alone" & "Fate" by So Hyang if possible) whenever you can, I'll be forever grateful lmao

hii PD Umu!!! thanks for your hard work it must be tiring making videos pls have a good time rest and dont push yourself too much..

they should react to all shorts mv

10:41gwen: no, I feel like they are going to be gay for each other, that's all I have to say 10:44hugo: oh my god! you could've just said that! ME: LAF

i'm loving this, sooo much.. can you please make them react to LADIES' CODE: "Pretty Pretty" and "Galaxy"? just to do an before and after, they are amazing

"As you get older you lose more people than you realise, the older you get the more you see, the world changes" 7:43 GUUUUURL THIS HIT ME HARD!!!!

I was thinking of changing my name to Hi I'm Late but not anymore

THIS IS MY FAVE REACTION VIDEO CHANNEL EVER. i love everyones interpretation, and how they point out the diff motifs and themes!! and you guys are super funny and insightful too! Umu thank you so much for making these videos, youre so hardworking 😭FIGHTING

I *love* that they love the intsrumental of house of cards, that's like one of my favorite bts songs aghhsfjfd

Thank you so much for your hard work!!! I think they would really enjoy reacting to any of taemin's solo music (ie.drip drop, press your number, goodbye, danger)!

10:50 😂😂😂😂 I died

hugo so done with gwen 😂

thank you thank you thank you!! i really looking forward to the next two days! work's been hell lately but it's nice that i still have something to get excited over when i get home :)

Gosh I miss this era want to go back and experience it again for the first time

They are confused. And I'm happy. Because I also confused af when the first time I watched those videos. I need friends to feel my pain too. Anyway, the realest meaning IMO is what Leah said. It's about how you grow up and the more you grow mature and you'll face problems and it'll change how you think about the world. This is like Omelas. When you grow, and see the poor child and know that life isn't full of happiness, and you walk away from Omelas to grow maturer and face the world. Everything seems ambiguous and have many meanings. The lyric meanings, the MV, and how you interpret them into something more logical and relatable to people. Actually BTS are insane people who make amazing crazy things called art.

About this prologue and Spring Day, some people believe that it is related to the accident that happened to Korean ship on 2014.

You have to include Park Hyo Shin in the to-be-reacted videos if they haven't reacted to him yet (I didn't check all the way through the reaction videos you posted yet). He's one of the best vocalists in Korea and I'm sure they'll enjoy his style and sound.

I was as confused as you all when I first saw it.... and I'm still confused asf

"This is a beautiful track" YAAAAAASSS IKR

I just love when Hugo and Gwen blow up at each other. And Hugo's face when he's waiting for Gwen to shut up...*ded* I'm so impressed with Davis being able to match names to faces. Even with fans that sometimes takes a while. He and Lindsey are really invested in the story(and suga-kookie). I love seeing this serious, mature side to Leah. I always enjoy her and Shimon's antics("You're going to die a horrible death!") but it's nice seeing different facets of their personalities. #RIPShimonsgoldfish

I love how broken their minds are after just those two videos 😂😂😂 But same, guys. Same.

these people are seriously the best, very serious and very focused. they don't make fun of the video and the people, and most of all, they appreciate the music, this is why musicians are the best 💖

i wish you show them hyyh series videos interpretation by dream teller. not a request, just.. they were mind blowing 😱 but it would be great if you make it into reaction tho heuheu

being an army that got into bangtan in the middle of danger and war of hormone era, i cant tell you how proud and happy i am for bangtan. in 2015, they got their first win on a music show for i need u. in 2015 when bangtan rose to fame during the two hyyh eras. my favourite eras, probably a lot of army's favourite eras. please, continue to love bangtan wholeheartedly. even if they lose their fame, they are still the same people you love so much right now.

Wasn't it SUGA was IN the polaroid and JIN WASN'T???

This seriously made the "Youth" and "Growing up" idea clearer since it was kind of hard to match the puzzle pieces of this album at first for me. YOU GUYS ARE SUCH GENIUSES. Thank you so much because some theories are quite complicated to understand.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP IT'S MY TURN"!!! LMFAO

They were really on point, that's why I love this channel so much, and I'm more proud now of BTS, because of how the message they wanted to get across was captured in the people who thought about it. But even with lots of theories and everything in between, the message is clear. YOUTH. The happy, sad, regretful, exciting moments of youth that move forward to a new era of our lives, leaving all behind but never to be forgotten. That's HYYH.

Finally! The wait is over, no more cut pls

all of the upcoming reactions have me so excited. it's nice that genuine musical thought is put into all of these instead of just "the dancing is cool" or "whoa the guys are wearing makeup!"

Now that they've said that House Of Cards is a nice track, they should react to the song😭😍

And yeah, about the “jin dissolved” thing, Jin actually tried to travel back in time. But then he realized something when he saw that photo which is supposed to be suga in the picture with him, is now gone. He then realized that even if he changed the past it would still be the same. At least that’s what i understood...

The level of plot complexity rivals vocaloid lol

this prologue is sooo deep that my heart aches like hell loads T_T tnx for the reaction 💕 love your channel

the first reaction vid of prologue that i saw that actually really enjoyed the credits part XD classical musicians indeed^^ love

this is what special bout bts like they said 'Music for arts and healing' so we got musics,movies,entertainment, social story and YOUTH and many more..hmm seriously i still need to rewatch the the hyyh series...good luck everyone!

I really really like Leah's interpretation with the growing up and all that stuff. You have these close friends before but as you grow up you kinda just drift apart in the process and I just 😭 I also got excited how they loved Butterfly and all the other songs too, I hope they'll listen to the full songs, or better yet the albums! Lol I'm asking for too much aren't I 😂

Okay there's so many layers in all of this that I only now understand, because of the way they're analysing everything.

I still think Jin is the one dead

now they are so into this 😄😆😆😆 don't know why but that makes me happy! i love when they threw out theories after theories... can't wait for tomorrow

Guys okay but there’s another short film that connects to this video so PLEASE WATCH BTS EUPHORIA IS JUST CAME OUT XX

this whole story is about them growing up ... it's about youth and it's represented by jin. the other members are his feelings towards growing up. they are not there because they are in jins mind. not the boys die but his fears against youth❤️️ hope it helps

I feel that there is no definite theory to the Trilogy, BS&T & Spring Day(If you want to combine all of them together). Jin could be dead or the other 6 could be dead or none of them are dead and the "deaths" were just a representation of the obstacles you go through as you grow up and weren't supposed to take it literally. Since they are talking about youth afterall in their series. But hey, there is no fix theory since BigHit/Lumpen/BTS have not confirmed any. So i feel its best to let them make their own guesses and theories since that's where its interesting seeing how others look at it.

I love how at the scene where Tae jumps off into the ocean, Yunyi is like "wow that's so beautiful" and Kevin's over there like mind blown and making weird noises.

Guys!!! Let's contact BTS and have all of the classical musicians hired onto their music producing team!!! I'm serious!!! :)

Out of most of the reaction videos I've seen towards BTS this is always the most entertaining and the most educational? Really honest and candid reactions. I miss this season's reactors. I'm really happy seeing Yunyi back recently for I think life goes on reaction with Kevin. I know the channel doesn't react as much to BTS's music and I respect that. I'm saying I miss it. So far this my favorite reaction channel.

I'm hoping that Classical Musicians will react to BTOB songs like I'll be your man, ballad trilogy or LUV. Please. I'm waiting for that to happen, since then. Please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I love how they're so into trying to decipher the meaning behind these videos and try to understand the members feelings and struggles. This is why I love watching your reaction videos because you guys are sincere with your reactions and truly appreciate the members talent and hard work. Love you guys! 😭👌❤

I'd really like to see them react to House of Cards and Tomorrow live

The best reaction video ever. It's nice to hear smart things on youtube every once in a while. Thank you!

they definitely should react to Winner ! like Empty vs Sentimental

My God, it's so short. I would watch all these reactions in one video even if it'll take 1 hour or more. hahahaha just can't get enough though. Can't wait for tomorrow and until their last reaction.

"is it real is it not" Yes. Yes. Exactly. We have no idea. /maniac laughter/

"Shut the fuck up it's my turn!!!" omfg I died xD Also, the whole growing up and distancing from your old friends idea hits the mark I think. :)

PLEASE the same day you show them "Ice cream cake" and "automatic" by Red Velvet show them too "One of these nights". It's a beautiful RV song that's so underrated and I think they would appreciate it. We (your viewers) actually don't mind if there is a 30 minutes video hahaha the longer the better (?)

now you guys feel how ARMY got 'spinning brain' with all BTS's MV.

please ,please show them the wings' short films too because the short film are relationated to this story and I want to hear their theories

Honestly all of the recent BTS videos that have been released, aside from 'Not Today', have made me cry because of all the theories about 6 of them dying and Jin being left and all that others wanting Jin to live. It just is very touching and sad at the same time to think about. 😭😭💕

I hope you'll show them house of cards, they seemed to like it!

i swear to god i have watched this series of a reactions atleast 5 times.. and i still crack up in sync with shimmon every single time leah solemnly says "...so he imagined having friends...." at the end of the whole thing...

Watching them while they're listening to House of Cards, the only thing in my head is just like "me too"

let me just say that hugo yelling at (im so sorry i dont know the name) the girl next to him, made me spit out my tea and THATS JUST BRILLIANT. Im so sorry le girl, but i just, poor dude man let the dude speak but i also appreciate your accent and its existence and your existence because oh my god what a cute person!

Please have them react to House of Cards Live performance, they actually loved the song

"So he imagined having friends...?" MY HEART BROKE

Can you added Just Ally BTS HYYH Era Theory(prologue-ineedu-epiloge-run) to Classical Musician playlist? i really want them to know the whole story, it will be so emo pls pls :(

I'm honestly just happy at so much thought and effort you guys put into this.

They should react to the House of cards (live especially ) Really amazing song

I'm in love with you guys soo much!! I'm also a music enthusias and seeing you guys react based on the music perspective is very refreshing. I love BTS as well, infact as I hear you guys comment or react to their music sometimes gave me a heart attack lol I actually managed to study a lot of things from this series, so keep it up this awesomeness :D

they're tasting tiny bit of ARMY's struggles

omg.. watching this makes me fall in love with them and bts more... i just adore these series.. i wish there were more videos like these to ask them to make theoriws.. its soo nice..

HYYH theories make Army crazy....still.

Hahaha omg I love seen people trying to get the teories, I was the same I've heard two tories that I think make sence, one is that Jin is actualy dead and he is watching the others from the distance, like we see him with the camera all the time and not really playing or anything with the others. The other one is that each member is an aspect or a part of the life of Jin, and he is watching all the things he has been through, all the problems and other things that he has lived, but then, he just has to move on, like he says in awake.
