Director Reacts- 지민 (Jimin) 'Set Me Free Pt.2' Official MV 

To me, the autotune /rap and then Jimin singing is like a conversation. It's so amazing. Then next level dancing. Wow!

The auto tune gives a contrast to Jimin's voice... It's like two or more demons trying to fool him/ talk to him/ tempt him but his real self fight back... Others say that they hate it, but for me, it's LEGENDARY... Haters really have time to check this masterpiece when they can't even give time for their faves... Sorry not sorry, but the song is perfect, no buts, no why's, just PERFECT... JIMIN PUNCHED HIS HATERS deep within and they are bitter now...

I don't know if anyone has expressed the same, but this song is Jimin's poetic/artistic expression of his journey -- the pains, the struggles, the tensions. Its his story as BTS and as Jimin the solo artist. The musical arrangement with the choir singing, the distortion -- all of that match the lyrics and the choreo (fingers pointing at him & him going down & up the spiral). ALL of it recreates and conveys his story. He is finally free. The music halts, and Jimin appears in white. It's not my usual genre, but how can you not be enthralled by such artistic masterpiece.

Jimin sings 'raise your hands to the old me.' There are alot of nods to their old songs here. Lie, Filter, Dope, On, Butterfly, BS&T, etc. I think this is Jimin saying this was the old him, now set him free. Expect a new Jimin from here on out.

JIMIN SLAYED SO HAAAARDDDD

A masterpiece!!!!!! I discover new angles everytime I watch the MV. He will be at Jimmy Fallon on the 23 and 24th match. The german poem tattooed is amazing and deep. The dance practice is already available and it's amazing. At the end Jimin emerges free from all the shadows, purified and like a butterfly. References to BTS songs. Fantastic reaction! 💜

Volvió un JIMIN maduro, seguro, liberado listo para mostrar un poderoso solista dejando atrás las penurias y al miedo de no poder. Llega con su luz propia para nunca apagarse y estamos emocionada y como Mamá ARMYS orgullosa de su ángel ❤️ Exitos mi vida vuela alto es tu momento!!!

7:56 Personally I think this choreography is a reference to Rilke's poem written on his body: I Live In Ever-widening Cirkles. But that's the beauty of interpretation: It's different for everyone. 💜

In jimin we believe ⚔️

He mentions *like a butterfly * They surround him like a cocoon. Then he's a butterfly & free

Love how Jimin incorporated so many things. Nod to Yoongi's Set Me Free single from his mixtape, reiterating lyrics from BTS On "got to go insane to stay sane" and parallels of being set free from BTS 'golden cage' (trapped in the idol image & everything that goes with the life of an idol which may restrict them from being their full selves). Lots of interpretation about being set free - can be about Jimin's personal struggles ie letting go of all his doubts and uncertainties The orchestral arrangement and background choir gives this song a powerful impact. Makes me think of a battle scene kinda like in the Lord of the Rings or Rocky training getting ready for his boxing match haha Jimin is in his element - intricate fast paced intense choreography - elements of interpretative contemporary dance, hiphop funk and even some modern jazz. Saw the dance practice. Simply wow!

The spiral that the dancers made,..It is the symbol of birth and rebirth, of living and connecting, of letting go of the subject and being reborn again.At the end you see Jimin in all white. It is a masterpiece❤️💜

We keep tryna tell you... .Jimin is one person offstage and another ON. He is a beast. ALSO... they just released the Dance Practice and you can see more choreo. Yep, they added something added to his voice to make it more aggressive. Jimin is finally FREE from the mental struggles and expectation of what others have placed on him. He is Park Jimin from BUSAN and we need to accept it. The Clever German poem on his body, the last sentence and word... SONG. Also.. he mentioned this is the last song on the album...so I can only imagine the somber mood in the previous songs. ALONE scares me because of the title alone. ROSCOE.... we family now...and I am still catching up on your journey... Episode 32 or 33. I am trying to stay focused and not look at these new ones. See you later.

Laughed when you said, “ somebody touched him.“. Great reaction and so proud of Jimin… that’s hot!!!

I don't know why autotune is this taboo thing. I think it's used extremely well here. we all know it's not used to cover any lack of singing ability. mixed with his natural voice, it adds a lot of color to the song.

If On and Black Swan had a baby. I love it 💜

the autotune is so artisticaly used here ! Inner rapping voice, full of anger Vs delicate high pitch real voice, full of pain and hope. It's a dialogue, so beautifuly done ! And the choregraphy is a story telling by itself. And the poem on Jimin's chest, the setting, the lighthning, the choir... All is perfect, artistic and meaningful !

Love Jimin 💜

Jimin ! He’s not a Valedictorian for nothing! Damn!!!

❣Jimin’s “Set Me Free Pt.2’, it’s everything & more then I could hope for, Jimin’s amazing artistry, his so beyond spectacular,, so mesmerizing, phenomenal performance! The song, Jimin’s vocals, his dancing, the amazing choreography, also the amazing backup dancers, the lyrics he wrote, the music he composed as well as being involved in the production! Jimin was hands on, involved with every facet! No wonder the in-house legendary producer for BigHit Pdogg, who worked with Jimin throughout the whole album, stated that “in 2023 K-pop will be ended by Park Jimin”! Seeing this makes me that much more excited, waiting in anticipation for release of the full album, Jimin’s “FACE” on March 24, along with his other, main song ‘Like Crazy’ MV. Though Jimin’s song ‘Set Me Free Pt.2’, blew me away , meeting all my expectations & then some, I was also not totally surprised, because indeed Jimin is now ‘set free’ from the confines of being part of a group, to now be able to open up full throttle and ‘finally’ be able to release all that he held back for so many yrs! Finally able to show & unleash his true self that, that was restricted in the confines of BTS. Required to just showing a vulnerable side, which he’s not! Jimin has been involved in every facet of creating this album! Hands on all the way, perfectionist that he is, including writing lyrics, composing, as well as being heavily involved in production! Jimin’s true, real, inner self, will be finally seen in all its raw, authentic, amazing, heartfelt, passionate, emotional, sincere glory! This is aside from Jimin’s full range, hardly ever being shown, aside from high notes, but being finally able to show his full registry, mid range as well as lower registry as well! I’ve always been so frustrated not being able to see as well as hear Jimin’s full capacity of talent. So often not being fully taken advantage of, but that comes with being part of a group, that has every single member having so much talent that it’s been so limiting for Jimin, especially him being so selfless, making a point of having others shine before himself. Now the spotlight will be just on him! Though we’ve seen Jimin’s amazingly spectacular, so mesmerizingly outstanding solo performances before. But now, as Jimin himself, mentioned, he’ll indeed be showing the depth of his raw inner self!  In an interview Jimin explained: "I tried to express the grand scale of the song and [the ideas of] determination, passion, and overcoming. “Set me free” means setting myself free, so I thought it was important that I be the one to set myself free - not someone else. In the end, I’m the one who has to set myself free. I would say the song has the energy of a light in the darkness. I wanted to express that kind of picture everyone has in their head - a ray of light coming into the darkness is the only thing you can see. If I had to say specific colors, I’d say black and white."

JIMIN IS A LYRICIST SO DEEP

Park Jimin , fenomen forever !🌟🌟🌟🎤🕺🤴🏻🤴🏻🤴🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for having Jimin's works in consideration. He is a brilliant artist. WOW

EPIC!! Auto-tune was artistically used to convey Jimin's feelings! Borahae!

I love the lines "I won't hide anymore, even if it hurts" and "I won't stop, even if they mock me". He is the sweetest most caring soul and so talented both as a vocalist and dancer but always face so much hate and death threats. I think he always been so strong in being himself, not following the norms and going his own way, early on saying "men this and men that, what the heck is men?" when some were commenting that he shouldn't do certain things because he is a man and I was so moved when he said he had stopped trying to appear like a "strong man" and just could be himself now and talked to his former self saying he was proud of his younger self but "hurry up and become me".

❣ The poem written in German on Jimin’s body translated: Widening Circles Written by Rainer Maria Rilke Germany (1875 - 1926) Timeline Translated and read by Joanna Macy Listen I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world. I may not complete this last one but I give myself to it. I circle around God, around the primordial tower. I’ve been circling for thousands of years and I still don’t know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song?

Even though they use autotune but you can hear jimin vocal, he can sing that on live, cause jimin voice like a autotune too...

EXCELENTE Mi Principe PARK JIMIN Eres Arte Pura EXITOS En esta nueva Etapa en Solitario con Face Set Me Free TE AMOOOOO,Desde Argentina !!!!!

Roscoe that dance formation shape is Nature's Golden Ratio. Yes it has elements of Yin & Yang, Light & Dark. AND your head went totally in the right direction! All nature's shapes starts from this shape like you said a shell 🐚 and ferns 🌿 and embryos 👶 you totally got it! Note as he comes out of the formation he says 'Fly away, Butterfly' 🦋 another of Nature's Golden Ratios. It also represents metamorphosis which happens with Butterflies. The writing on his chest is a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke called 'Ich lebe mein leben in wachsenden ringen', in English, 'I live my life in widening circles'. So again connected. 😉💜

Jimin порвал всех🔥💣👑

i think it is more of a butterfly cocoon with jimin in the center - and him finally breaking out being free transforming into beautiful and graceful butterfly- now his is in his primetime

GORGEOUS JIMIN Amazing JIMIN

Jimin never disappoints 💜

Love it!! Jimin is sublime here, I don't even have the words, Woooooooow! Thanks Roscoe, I really was waiting for your reaction, the part when you said: "let me see if I could find a good shot for you, its not for me is more for you...[...]see how much I care for you..." Kill me, haha thanks for the shot 😂😂

On his Body is a German Poem from Reiner Maria Rilke 🤯💜

Jimin was born for all of this. he is a masterpiece.

Yes autotuned for artistic purpose

지민도 멋지지만, 당신의 표현도 정말 멋집니다~♡

Amazing! darkness kept trying to keep him in the maze. "it's prime time now"; was such a positive message. Love him, this is amazing.

This song makes me want to cry, it's so good.

Jimin is just so talented!😊

Magnífica canción de Park Jimin sensacional hermosa voz demostrando su versatilidad y su arte al bailar 👋👋👋👋👋👍👍👍👍

Jimin king👑. Jimin solo album FACE coming🎉🎉🎉. 24.03.2023.Jimin video the best👍💯

Jimim é bom em tudo que faz ❤❤❤❤

So yeah- if you feel like watching it again - how about diving deeper down this rabbit hole for us. I don’t have the band width to break it down, nor the knowledge. As a visual artist I can appreciate the aesthetics of it all but all the hidden gems he’s put in there is overwhelming! Love your reaction - mine was my mouth hanging open for the first two times I watched it!

Excelente manera de atraer el interés a su primer álbum solista, y lo que siguió y sigue es digno de admiración expone sus sentimientos en una etapa importante de su vida, muy buen trabajo de Jimin. Gracias por la reacción 😊

Another Sienna Lalau Work! They just posted the Practice (in their spanking new shiny studio space) and its even more brilliant without the Textural/Illumination distraction 💙

Jimin went so hard for this and it isn’t even the main track for the album! What in the Cutie, Sexy, Lovely is waiting for us next week!?

*Yes!* *I Saw Jino!* *Now* *ROSCOE!* 😅 *Speechless!* 🗣 *JIMIN* *SSII* 💜 *Watching from New⚘️Jersey, USA 😎

I think the spiral is like a maze where he is trapped deeper n deeper. ( as the song says set me free) 💜

Это лучшая реакция, от души.

Lmao omg your reaction was the best 🤣💜🫶🏻

Jimin con esta pieza ha logrado erizar los sentidos a todo aquel que lo ha visto, Siii, con efecto Jimin Libre!!

지민은 나의 태양이며 희망입니다~항상아름답습니다~강력합니다~노력과열심은 결과가 아름답습니다~항상행복하고 건강하길기도합니다^^❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕👍👍👍👍💜😘😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😘😘💜😘💜💜💜👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💜💜😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

jimin talked about darkness and light for this song and the last outfit being the light in the darkness so you could absolutely be right on the ying and yang theory!

Professional Producer said about auto-tune~ ""This is one of the very few cases where I am so fine with use of auto-tune because it's being artistically injected into the music like that was so well placed for him so it feels like there's ton of contrast vocally between each section.""""

Jimin is liquid...everythin!❤❤❤

Jimin took no prisoners!!

i meant... let me talk about the auto tune..... you gotta admit that modern music with the autotune is .. like a trand...and it affects really well ... people saying auto tune .. is bad... nah... think about it .. he didn't even need auto tune... can't you hear his vocals??!! he used auto tune in a artistic purpose..!! and it gave me chills so harrrrrrrd ... it was so swaggy .. and grotesque...you get what i meant?? auto tune in here .. is ...the perfact example of right use for the mood ..it's almost beautiful...!!!

A masterpiece! How can I listen to other songs now??😭

ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER SLAY FOR MY MANNNNNN, HES SO EPIC I CANT!!!!! ART PERSONIFICATION I LOVE IT SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR YOUR REACTION 💜💜💜

"GIVE ME JIMIN!" Roscoe, your reaction has by far been the best one I've seen. 😆 You were all of us (at the least the more vocal of us). Good job! Everything about this video was perfection. 💜

Eu não entendo o que ele fala, mas pela sua reação ele ficou impactado como eu

As always Jimin ate it and left no crumbs the verse that is written on his body is a piece from German poem written in 19th century💜💜💜

Roscoe On his chest Its a German Poem '' I live my life in widening circles ''.

Un véritable bijou ❤

😂😂😂😂😂 I love to see everyone else having my reaction 🎉❤

Let's talk about the panopticon symbolism of this set design! The panopticon was a late 18th century prison design with the cells lining the perimeter of a rotunda and facing inward to a central guard tower where a single guard himself was stationed concealed. That's the set design for this MV! The idea was prisoners never new if they were being watched or not, so they would self-regulate their behavior on the chance they were being watched. It also meant most prisoners could see each other at all times, so everyone was both the watched and the watcher. Fast forward to the 1970s and a philosopher named Foucault who applied this principle to society at large, and nowadays also applied to social media behaviors. The way we act, our expectations for ourselves based on assuming expectations from others becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as we're all feeding into and off of each other. This adds SO much context and meaning to the story Jimin is telling here. He has at time felt imprisoned, couldn't be his true self because of always being watched, tried to live and present himself based on expectations. He tries to break free of his inner demons and naysayers and everyone watching him (the other dancers) and do something a little different (notice a lot of ballet positions with his footwork and alternate choreo and tempo compared with the other dancers) but every time he's free of them, they drag him back into their swarm. Near the end, it feels like everyone lifting him up should be a good thing, they're literally praising him (matching the choir singing Glory at various times) but still ultimately grabbing at him, trying to take a piece of him, until his finally breaks free once and for all. Just amazing!! And Roscoe, your reaction made me so happy!

jimin is the king of kpop

This reaction is honestly the most relatable I’ve ever seen, love it

Jimin the fallen angel ❤ to perfect to be real

And yes you said it, BRILLIANT!!!

I think this might be a part 2 off of Suga's Set me Free, it's a possibility.

Eccellente 👍 grazie mille jimin 💜💜💜

Thank you for this great reaction. This song and the video are pure genius. I love it. I love Jimin. There is a lot of speculation and ideas going around about the meaning of it all. I have noticed that the fans who love Jimin and have observed him for a long time have the best interpretation of this song. The one I agree with is that the spiral thing is a maze. What that maze is to Jimin, and how drinking Hennessy at night and on repeat fits into everything, only he can tell. One of the theories I also agree with is how Jimin is trying to walk away and at one time run away from the dancers who in this case symbolize something adverse, but they follow him, they pull him back and into a state of vulnerability or weakness. It's in the way he moves you see. And he reaches out to the universe, to the world of people who loves him to set him free but the demanding darkness still swallowed him up. I think that his vision or goal is to overcome that which drags him down and emerge a person and artist accepted for who he is. All of who he is. I liked that a lot. Now, I have no idea why the haters are kicking up dust because Jimin used autotune. True fans of BTS know none of them need it. In this case, it accentuates Jimins passionate resolve against those who mock him, wants to hurt him and look down on him. I'm sure they know this but like playground bullies, they will grasp at anything to cast doubt in the utter brilliance of this man and the production of this song. I have said this already but I will say it again. Jimin is the FALCON. He is the STORM. He is the CHANT. Soar my baby! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

That was fire. From the beats to the choreo, to the story wow. Jimin did not come to play. He slayed it.

Yes, that head shake is mind blowing. As all the rest of the song and choreo. We can rewatch it as many times as you want Roscoe. This autotune is what the song needed as if all the world didn´t know that Jimin is one of the best singers in the world.

Tres días dando gracias a Jimin por esta obra de arte

You say Jimin is a liar but you're the real liar Roscoe! "It was okay" ... I think your pants are on fire. Loved your reaction.

I still can't get over this. And I've watched a lot of reactions and Roscoe yours has got to be the absolute best!!!

German poem hi's tatoo-RAINER MARIA RILKE - ich lebe mein Leben

One Masterpiece after another 💜 💜 That's what BTS does💜💜 Loved your reaction!

De vdd jimin hermoso nene la rompiste eres único cosita divina te amó mi amoreeeee eso mi amor brilla como solo tu sabes hacerlo forever bebé mochi ❤❤❤❤❤❤

PJM1 IS COMING ALWAYS WITH JIMIN

Todo lo que puedo decir es que BTS siempre se supera... Jimin es maravilloso, es un Moustro, qué nos da esta maravilla.... Como ARMY estoy a punto de un colapso con tanta maravilla( Jack in the box, the Astronaut, Indigo, Dreamers, Left and right, Vibe, That that,Smoke Sprite, ON the street, Set me free 🔥😍💜ect)

There are great performers, and great artists. Bangtan guys are all BOTH phenomenal artists and performers. Jimin shocked us with this one because it was so unexpected, but also so quintesentially JIMIN, it's a powerful song and I'm here for it. The dance practice just dropped too! Jino's poker face only lasted till he was done with the first listen, he LOVES it lol. I wasn't expecting it, I thought he'd take issue with some things, but he gave it a 96 lol.

Jimin does not need autotune AT ALL!! But it gives the song another element and I fking love it!!! 💜
