Comparing BTS Songwriting & Creative Preferences: Jimin's Magic Realism 5 of 7 

Jimin is and has always been the IDEA BANK of bts. Fight me

Jimin is especially hard on himself and is a perfectionist. He won't put songs out there unless he believes 100% that it meets his standard. He also is not the type of person that boasts or promotes himself. He is so supportive of other members and often focuses on boosting their songs amd music more than his own. He is very critical of his own talents and always wants to keep improving even though we, as fans, think he is incredibly talented in everything he does. In the recent Suchwita episode with Taemin, he mentioned he was taking vocal lessons and starting from scratch. Taemin's reaction was the same as mine and probably the rest of us. Like why? He has such a unique tone and texture to his voice which makes him stand out above others. No one in the Kpop industry has that voice. I like a lot of the BTS music only because of Jimin's parts of the songs. The last few songs that BTS released were disappointing for me because Jimin was barely given any verses. I hope one day Jimin sees and believes that his vocal talent is on another level and accepts what we all know: his voice is pure, raw and pulls me into another world.😊

You are spot on saying jimin always wants to show something different, something new and never afraid of a new challenge for himself, always to improve! That’s artistry and real personal bravery . Ps. And yes he is so impressive with coming up with melodies!

Jimin is often under estimated when it comes to song writing and producing. I love his creative mind and how he conveys not just a story but also raw emotions through his lyrics in a way that is very relatable. In a world where more and more mindless and meaningless music is being produced, Jimin and his music are a breath of fresh air. I look forward to whatever he created next!

Огромное спасибо за вашу статью. Многое стало понятно. Насколько Чимин искренний и зрелый не по годам. Чимин сам, как из мира фантастики. Как красиво вы сказали :"кузнец смертоносной поэзии". Насколько же он талантлив. Ждём с нетерпением его новых шедевров.

In short, Jimin is a powerhouse, and I can confidently say that BTS would not be where they are without him.

I seriously did not give Jimin enough credit. He can act so sweet and goofy I forgot he can be very deep and introspective. Thank you for this! 💜

I was amazed at how different this collection of songs is and it shows his wide vocal range. He is a complex, deep person, and so extraordinary and beautiful. 💜

Thank you for sharing your analysis on Jimin’s songwriting skills and preferences that help us understand and appreciate him better ❤❤❤

How beautifully you have explained Jimin’s poetry! He is intense, intelligent and amazing artist ! I hope he soars like Eagle way beyond his own imagination and wows the world with his brilliance ❤

Jimin has always been incredible, a complete artist, he deserves a company that values and supports him

Спасибо,вам, за глубокий анализ, очень драгоценная информация о Чимине.

Jimin is amazing...I just love everything about him. His mother and father must be so proud of him.

He's easily the most versatile one in the Vocal line and overall, Jhope definitely comes close from the music we have seen from them so far, every song this man has put out so far is so different from one another, even in Face, literally every song is from a different genre. Man is the definition of unique in everything he does, whether it's his music, singing or dancing. Yet the lengths people go to discredit him and his artistry inorder to level other people up, and most of these people are within this fandom who stereotypes him and boxes him to fit their own narratives.

This was absolutely wonderful. It’s such a pleasure to listen and learn from your perspective on BTS on all aspects of there work. Thank you 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🇨🇦

I really hope he gets a Grammy on this Album FACE or even the song Like Crazy... He deserves it

Jimin's whole album is a story, he really is a true Artist. The best 👌 He is a story teller through his dance and songs.

I really appreciate this deep dive into Jimin's musical abilities especially his writing. If anything the video was too short 😅 I really hope you will do the additional analysis on his melodies and singing technique. Many of us are simply able to appreciate how much we enjoy Jimin's music, how he leaves us in awe every single time, how his music touches us and leaves a lasting impression. Hearing a professional breakdown gives us even more reason to appreciate his genius ❤ Thank you!

100% agree! One novelist who is known in using magic realism is Gabriela Marquez - presentation of reality in a magical world. Jimin is actually well read. As RM said, "I got what you mean." In face, Jimin is talking to the person who appears in the mirror in front of him - his ownself. I wont be surprise if Like Crazy will be nominated in the Grammys.

After watching this analysis, my brain grew two sizes. Also, my heart grew two sizes for Jimin 💜

I think Jimin is great at misleading people in his writing basically his songs has layers. Lie for example, if you don't pay close attention to the lyrics or don't know him enough, you'll just think he's referring to a girl or someone else instead of himself. Another one is promise, at first glance it seems to be a love or romantic song to someone, cause in the song he paints that he's comforting someone and he even pinky swear with that person however if you don't pay close attention to the lyrics, you easily miss the first part were it says he was sitting alone, which means the person he's talking with all this time is still himself not someone else. It's more like he always unconsciously refer to himself as third person. Ex: Set Me Free pt2. When he says "Hey fool get out of my way". He's still referring to himself. "F*CK all YOUR ops!" the your is still him. Same in LIE, ALONE, LIKE CRAZY, FACE OFF. When Jimin writes, there's quite different version of him. In Lie he's talking to his shadow which is his stage persona who wants to swallow him. Next in Filter, it's his persona who's in control. In Like Crazy, he sees his unhealthy anima that he doesn't recognize, and the anima is s*cking the life out of him. In Promise, it's still himself comforting his lonely self. In Alone, he's still talking to himself. "The YOU who lost your way" Basically, in all his writing, it's always about internal struggle.

My favorite of your videos so far. You explain clearly what I FEEL about Jimin's artistry,. My only way to express it is that Jimin is art itself in everything he touches, whether it be dance, vocals, fashion shows, photos..... there is always this undefinable quality that makes it art. Thank you for giving me more of a vocabulary to express it. I look forward to your fuller explanations.

Excelente material, a cada dia admiro mais esse grande artista

Thank you so very much for putting into words the jumbled thoughts I've had in reading the Tannies' lyrics. I've had such a hard time trying to explain how brilliant they are because I lack the vocabulary needed for literary critique so I'm glad there are others who do. Jimin's not given enough credit in his contributions (not being manti - he also discounts his own contributions) so it fills my heart so full to have someone with quite brilliant insight break it down. A song not covered, Christmas Love, is considered a simple, almost childlike song... But I disagree. I just can't put the WHY into words. I would love to hear your thoughts on it, if you ever have a chance. (Also, the genius of Lie being mostly in the minor chords, with the line, "Caught in a Lie" in major - standing out as if the only truth (and yet is it?) - yeah, understated brilliance.)

I hope and know he will one of the biggest that will come out BT’s clever man ,hopefully he will open his own entertainment thing he do degree’s and MASTER 👩‍🎓 in entertainment and management thank you dear jimin well done

Insightful, educational, informative, and interesting. Thanks for your analysis and comments. It allowed me to appreciate Jimin's songwriting even more.

Your analysis is always on point and objective..which gives justice to Jimin's depth of intelligence and skills which haters couldn't bear to accept. But no matter how trash talking haters especially solo stans and toxic fandoms throw at him, Jimin is now braver to face it all or should I say doesn't bother him anymore like when he said during his live documentary "non army leave the live" This is Jimin's era which allowed him to show his versatility to the world. No one can ever beat him as the great artist he truly is

Awesome! Thank you. I never doubted he would be this good. After all he was a brilliant student aside from being a top contemporary dance student. He is a serious thoughtful person despite goofy and sweet personality. Love your description of him.

What a beautiful analysis of Jimin's poetry in lyrics❤❤❤. I am so moved & teary eyed esp Friends!!! Thank you for your usual wonderful narrative❤❤❤

Thank you for another insightful video. I definately think Jimin is under appreciated for his intelligence & thoughtfulness. All the members are incredibly talented, but sometimes seem to get pigeon holed into roles, but having been together over a decade, I think they all inspire, influence & learn from each other. I think the solo projects have been helpful to allow each member to explore & showcase their full potentials. We're such a lucky fandom to get to experience the depth & talents of this group of young men💜!

❤❤❤❤❤ l like your analysis

❤❤❤Thank you for this video. I like so much your analysis of JIMIN's lyrical poetry in his songs. I belong to the golden aged group of this young gentleman's fans and proud of his achievements, kind and humble personality. More blessings be yours JIMIN❤❤❤

LOVE IT, JUST LOVE IT. Thank you.

Me encantan todas tus reflexiones resoecto a la narrativa y creación de un talento como Jimin a quien afmiro.👍💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

Thank you for this again. I always look forward for your reaction especially of JIMIN and the whole of BTS coz i am sure i will learn so much from it. Your comprehensive explanation and impression of them is something i admire you of. I don’t know how to tell you how truly i like you, all that you say, but i do. Keep going, please. And…God bless you.

Jimin is a Genius.

Awesome!

Thank you for doing this for the ARMY 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I enjoy your work annalyzing our beloved BTS members! Jimin has always been an over achiever his whole life starting in his school days and with his martial arts so it is only natural that he continues this progression in his dancing and music career too. 😊

Hello ❤ Here again

А обучал Чимина писать лирику умница Намджун. Есть много видео, где Намджун и Чимин обсуждают тексты песен. Чимин оказался хорошим учеником. Он ведь отличник по жизни. Или лучше всех, или никак! И Намджун, и Чимин увлекаются философией и часто обсуждают прочитанное.

This was very interesting, thank you.

Thank you thank you thank you for this .. ❤❤❤❤

Wow I love this video so much. Thank you for sharing. I'm just so impressed and proud of him. Something meaningful, creativeness, and artistry is important for me. With this documentary too he's really proved himself more as an artist and I look forward to continuing to witness his growth as an artist. I think just with his unique voice itself, his solo music will be one of a kind. I would loveeeee to hear more about Jimin's singing techniques and how he makes melodies.

An intelligent and much appreciated analysis of the quality of Jimin’s songs ; I find his songs moving both in their subtle lyrics and exquisite tone in his voice Thank you

Спосибо за этот анализ творчество Чимина! Этот анализ самый глубокий, который я встречала! Мне так нравится, что вы называете его тексты песни магический реализм! "Кузнез смертоносной поэзии" - как красиво сказано! Спосибо ещё раз!

I'm in love with your analysis and even more in love with Jimin. My UTT is a genius!

Aiiiii, você detalha tão bem essa magia que é Jimin. Obrigada

Thank you for sharing this wonderful interpretation of Jimins Music.❤

Wow, this is Amazing. I now have an even greater respect for Jimin's Artistry.

I like your critical analysis of Jimin songs....bravooo

I named my Border Collie Chim2 so I could hug Chimmie, Jimin all the time hahaha… Love this! Very inspiring ❤He’s my love Jiminnnnnnnn 😍🥰😘

Loved your analysis however @15:49, I believe you are taking about lie instead of Like Crazy. Other than this part, the video was well made. If possible, please edit the same so that the content would be more authentic. Thank you for your hard work.

JIMIN❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

I'm so happy that I came across your channel! It's such a pleasure to listen to the beautiful, well chosen words by which you describe Jimin's work. (I've only watched this video of yours so far, but I'm sure this applies to your other videos as well.) Thank you for sharing your expert knowledge and industry insight with us. I had many thoughts about Jimin's album and his documentary, but they were pretty much a mess. Thanks to your explanations, I've been able to tidy that up a little now. I, too, think that Jimin does not receive enough credit for his artistry. My impression is that his album was propelled up the charts by people who like Jimin (which is nice, of course). And I think he knows that, which makes it a bit difficult for him to take full credit for this success and just be proud of it. As for the press coverage he received, I think this is a reflection of the time we live in: a lot of content is being put out very fast, not much of it is thoroughly researched or properly thought through, people are being swamped with information and content, attention spans shrink, a constant haste and waste ... It's a shallow world we live in! Unfortunately, I don't understand Korean, so I depend on translations of Jimin's Korean lyrics. But even so I realise that they are very deep. Jimin's album "FACE" is not easy listening, but it deserves to be listened to from start to finish and with close attention. And Jimin deserves to be recognised as an exquisite artist and creator. - Oh, and I totally agree with you that “Friends” is the most beautiful song about friendship that was ever made.

Wow that was an intelligent narrative of jimin being a great poet

Love it Jimin is the best ❤❤❤

Thanks a lot for your explanation!!💜🥰❤️

I really think because he is such a perfectionist and he thinks nothing is good enough, that’s why everything took so long to come to fruition. His FACE album took what, 9 months + to complete? people think he’s not creative. I beg to differ. He just wants everything to be the best. That’s our Jimin ❤

Please look into why Jimin didn’t get registered by Hybe for his Face album hitting a million way before Jungkook did.? No prejudice here just feel he was treated so unfairly!!!!

I admired JiMin before, but with your analysis, I am so moved by him as person who so deeply combines the arts of poetry, sound and dance. Is he infused with more spirit than most people? Is he magic?

지민 ❤🎉😂

I love your analysis 🥰

Es un gran pieta talentoso bien romantico. Jeonjimin 🤩💜💖🥰🐰😍😍💛🐣🐣👍Te amaré x siempre. A ti y todo tu arte.

I wish your analysis goes to enlight the mind of people who like BTS but they don't understand the value of their talent 💜💜🇺🇲🇵🇪💜💜 Thank you for your videos they are fantastic.

The king

I’m really thankful I found this channel. So deep and on spot analysis . 💜💜💜

I enjoyed your analysis & thank you for doing this. I always learn something new, or gain a deeper appreciation from you.💜💜

Spot on! Very thoroughly explained and I love it sooo much. Thank you very much for this💜💜💜

My fellow ARMY have already said most, if not all, of what I would say. Thank you ... 💜

you are a genius! I am so impressed with your knowledge and insight. You were what I was looking for with my adventure as army with BTS. Hope to watch all your videos and more

Судесный анализ модержания песен Чимина! Я в очредной раз поражаюсь, какой Чимин умница, какие глубокие мысли выиажены в его песнях! В них он сам, со своими ощущениями, борьбой, разными чувствами! В группе два гения - Юнги и Намджун! Можно смело сказать, что Чимин : третий гений!

awesome explanation of jimin's musical geniusity (is that even a word? hahaha). i really enjoy watching this series of BTS. i wish there's even more tho ♥♥♥. and goodluck on your desertation about SUGA ♥♥

15:44 lyrics is from Lie not like Crazy. I hope you can fix and repost. Also it would be better if each song you talk abt has videos that matches the songs. Otherwise, this is a wonderful video👏

This is very interesting! Love it!

Your analysis is perfect👌. Thanks a lot.

Excellent, I have found his lyric's to be of a high level but then I expected them to be.

It was alway there’s he do a lots much of the other songs he wrote them but never get credit I remember rm come in his room and ask him to write a song for someone and hm said no ,then rm say do you know who needs it and he said yes😢 rm laugh and said he have so much work !!!he said in GQ interview that it not every thing hidden

Wow muy interesante.

Brilliantly articulated and spot on.Thank you.❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you 😊

I appreciate ur analysis...

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

really good commentary well done

Thank you so much for your video. It is such an interesting lecture. This makes me listen to a song in a completely different way. Even though my love for both the song and the artist, Jimin, is already strong. The deeper meaning of the story can greatly enhance the love for the song if you comprehend it. My respect for Jimins work and personality grows! I’m looking forward to your videos about V and Jungkook!

15:15 Which song were you saying was the most succinctly written history? Your vouce said Like Crazy, the song title also. Bit the lyrics are from Lie. Just curious! Can you edit so we are clear please? Ty for this analysis!

But what was the lie in "Lie"?

Thank you too

He literally write his songs the same way he speaks its hard to fully understand what is he trying to say because he want us to understand only what he wants to revel which is not much 😅

At 15:50 is Lie not like crazy

You blew my 🤯 again 👏👏👏👏👏👏...I wonder what's your insight about Jimin's (or even JK and V) chances at winning in BBMA award? Also, when you talk about Jimin's singing style, is it possible to touch into some of the negative criticisms he received. Is it because of lack in technique? Or brought about the circumstances, etc? It might be too much but if it can be explained along the way I would appreciate it. Thanks!

I don't think Jimin wrote Like crazy alone.
