Director Reacts - Episode 21 - 'Outro:Tear' 

Joonie is the brain, Hobi is the heart and Yoongi is the soul - that is how they write and rap.

joon : analyzes the world suga : criticizes the world hobi : makes his own world

This was Hobi’s moment. RM and Suga killed it, per usual, but Hobi came in so hard and never let up. This is one of my favorite performances. I’ve never seen Hobi look so good. He’s so underrated as a rapper because he’s lead to 2 of the best the business has ever seen, but people forget that it’s not 2 of the best, it’s 3. He’s every bit as good, all 3 have their own style, and he’s goddamn impressive. Then he smiles and he’s pure sunshine.

8:03 notice T.E.A.R. as an acronym, it's Psychologist J.W. Worden's 4 Task of Mourning: T. - To accept Reality of Loss E.- Experience the pain of Loss A.- Adapt to new reality w/o lost person R.- Reinvest in new reality -Suga has great interest in psychology books as well as RM 💜 Actually all of them are, they love to read books.

T.E.A.R means 4 steps of mourning and grief: T'o Accept the Reality of the Loss E'xperience the Pain of Grief A'djust to a World Without the Deceased R'einvest yourself into the world

something really important that you should know: "The lyrics have both tear (tir; as in crying) and tear (ter; as in ripping apart), to be rhymed with fear. In EP.6 of Break The Silence, SUGA shared, “The lyrics for Tear were written for the members. When I was writing the melody, at the time, we were deeply contemplating whether we should quit or not. When I played the song for the members, we all cried together." i cry every time i listen to it. i loved your reaction and thank you for becoming my happy and safe space! (i've been here since the beginning, but i rarely comment.) 💜

97% of the time, the rap line each write their own lyrics that they rap. BTS and Big Hit both feel strongly believe that to rap authentically, you need to be writing your verses. RM has said before that the three rappers often (though not always) use their three rap sections in a song (even group songs with all seven members) to set up a thesis + antithesis --> synthesis structure. Where two rap verses set up oppositional forces to each other and the third one merges them. They seem to do this by writing their verses independently, coming together and seeing how their ideas mesh and contradict each other and then working them into a more holistic story. In general, the vocal line's lyrics have been written by RM or another in-house lyricist. THAT BEING SAID, as the band has gotten older, the vocalists have become much more involved in lyric writing, composing and even producing. (We are hoping for mix tapes from each of them!), so in their newer songs (map of the soul 7, BE albums) or singles released on sound cloud, the vocalists were likely very involved in the lyrics/music as well. (that's not to say vocalists never wrote lyrics or composed before those two albums, but if you are looking for a 'general rule of thumb', that's a good one to follow.) After each album is released, RM sits down and gives a live stream where he talks about the production and story behind each song and the roles different members played. That being said, he has said REPEATEDLY that he doesn't like to give the 'meaning' behind songs because "once a song is released, it belongs to the listener". He feels so strongly about the audience owning the music and coming up with their own interpretations that he refused to publish official lyrics to his 2018 mix-tape mono, allowing listeners to even 'hear' different words. Fans will love to give you info about songs precisely because the songs come from BTS's own lives and experiences -- so having the context helps audiences understand the emotions/worries/fears/background behind the words -- but BTS themselves would never want you to use that as some type of 'official' intepretation. I love all your reactions and I love this song!

"These guys belong on stage" - truer words have never been spoken. BTS's music is impeccable, amazing, moving, superb quality on its own. But to experience it LIVE... you get to see their absolute true love for music, for performance. They LIVE up there on that stage.

This was their “breakup” song. When Yoongi presented the melody to the members;they all cried. Meaning of tear to Namjoon was “crying “. To Suga tear meant to “rip apart “. And Hobi was fear. The fear of “losing his members”. These songs just hit differently once you know there meaning.

Yoongi has written this masterpiece when they were considering disbandment due to emotional and physical burn out. When he presented the finished " product" to other rappers who then written their own parts and played it to the other members they all cried ... This iconic performance of Outro:Tear from Wembley is called among Army "Hobi in black Dior performance" lol.

Tear is a heartbreaking masterpiece, and Hobi ate up the last part, leaving no crumbs. It gives me chills every time.

This was them potentially disbanding. They cried about it while delivering their speech at the MAMA Awards in Hong Kong(2018). I wish you can react to that video. This song expresses their pain and fear of parting (tear) and of sadness (shedding tears for it) - I think it goes the same for all of us. The first time Suga played this to the members, they all cried.

I'm not the one that is always leaving comments, I just read and like them, but I swear that tears came to my eyes after reading the thumbnail!! This song is everything!! 😭😍

Writing this while you're still watching, please notice the double interpretation of tear - tear as in crying and tear as in tearing stuff apart. And this song is written by Suga for the members when they contemplated disbanding in 2018 due to overwhelming pressure of their fame.

THE TRACK THAT SUMMONS THE ENTIRE FAMDOM🙌

This song is already heartbreaking as it is. So many people can resonate with this song. Everyone goes through the heartbreak of a relationship ending in many different situations. I was already feeling emotional when I first heard it, but after discovering the true meaning behind these lyrics and its intentions, my heart felt even more torn and completely ripped my heart out. The idea of the possibility of them "breaking up/disbanding" as a group just took this song to another level for me. Thank you for staying strong Bangtannies through all the trials and tribulations! ARMYs are forever grateful. 😭💜🎶

Although bts songs can be interpreted in many ways "outro:tear" was originally written for the members when they considered disbanding. i think it's important to mention this, cause when you know it just hits harder. And yeah, rm,suga and j-hope wrote their parts based on their own experience and feelings.

"He was the perfect one to sing this part". Yes, that's exactly what they as a group and as artists prioritize. That's why the line distribution isn't necessarily even in their songs. There've been incidents where fans of a certain member have been dissatified with their fave's lack of lines and acted out. They (now) generally ensure that everybody has a part but the song itself matters to them as well and you can tell that they really care about what they create. The rap line is a little special because they tend to write their own verses but I'm speaking of all of them as a whole group.

Thank you Roscoe. That song is my number one. I listened to it after I had gone through my divorce and simply couldn’t understand how these kids who are half my age could write about this pain that I was going through… how could they know?? It was many months later that I found out what the song was written for. Doesn’t diminish the pain and emotion but also healing I go through when I listen to it. I love this song with every broken shard of me they pieced back together💜

Just a small note about the line “our end came in two characters” In Korean he says 글자 which can be translated at “letters [of the alphabet]” but Korean is written in syllables kind looking like a Chinese character (as in it’s a combo of letters that form one sound). So in this context he’s talking about the 2 syllables that make the word “이별” which is both “breakup” but also “parting”.

Hobi killing it even though he has the shortest part. This man who had very little experience in rapping before joining BTS has mastered the game.

Probably my favourite rapline song 😍.This was written at a time when they were deeply considering disbandment , so it was written for the members and they cried together when they listened to this. Havent started watching yet but I know you will love it. 😇

I always thought when SUGA says "a thing like tear is a luxury" basically means 'I can't afford to cry, I can't dwell in the pain of parting or I can't even get myself to cry...' As someone that has a hard time processing emotions, crying doesn't come easy to me. So maybe the line hits me differently. SUGA's lyrics always hits me at my core.

Hobis part in this always hype me up. I still get goosebumps listening to it. I also love how he gets into the headspace behind Suga. This is top tier. House of Cards by the Vocal line will do the same...well so does truth Untold.....ok a lot of songs still give me goosebumps.

My heart! About a year into becoming Army this overtook all my other favourites to become my #1. Remarkable really for someone who hated rap before. I am really looking forward to this

ah, the very first note ~ you will never forget it and will recognise the song for eternity by that note. It'll 11pm for me, I'M STAYING UP ROSCOE!!, Can someone scoot over a smidge and hand me the blanket cause I'm tired, wake me in an hour💜

This was the song that made me realize that I actually like rap. Not every kind of rap but until I heard this one I thought I didn't like rap at all. Now I know how powerful it can be. And so so deep...

BTS are really forthcoming about writing lyrics from their experience. It's never just a concept. When you look at the overall story many songs tell you can paint a pretty vivid picture. By the way Roscoe you were spot on each member wrote their own verse. And there's three different stories being told by each individual connected by one theme.

Uh oh. Roscoe is going to explode from this one. I get chills every single time I hear it and tear up at Hobi's ending

When this song came out, ARMY assumed it was about romantic relationships. Over a year later Suga shared that he wrote this song when members were considering to disband 😢 When ARMY heard that, the whole internet was flooded with tears 😭 No ARMY ever interpret this song was for members (you know how ARMY love to decode BTS songs 😅). They suffered so much to get where they are now. I'm thankful their bond is so strong 🥰

When you read these comments and learn the meaning of this song, I promise you, you'll go back and give it another listen with fresh ears. It's just so heart wrenching and raw. Thank you so much for your recent rapline reactions. I know you're "rapping" this up soon (rapping? wrapping? see what I did there? lol), but when you have a chance, please please please give Cyphers 1, 2, 3, and 4 some of your time (reaction or not). You will absolutely be blown away. Much love to you and Annie! Much love to the #couchcrew 💜💜💜

Tear live at Wembley Stadium! This is one of my favourite performances ever....by anyone! Thank heavens they didn't disband ❤

From Doolset - Written by DOCSKIM, Shin Myung-soo, SUGA, RM, j-hope Note: The lyrics have both tear (tir; as in crying) and tear (ter; as in ripping apart), to be rhymed with fear. In EP.6 of Break The Silence, SUGA shared, “The lyrics for Tear were written for the members. When I was writing the melody, at the time, we were deeply contemplating whether we should quit or not. When I played the song for the members, we all cried together.” I think that goes some way to explain the real pain that underlies this song and each performance. Thank you for your reaction to this! I agree that this song is customised to each voice so precisely that the verses feel like they are coming directly from each performer. They have been living together for ten years now - some of the members for slightly less, but these three it is now fully ten years. They know each other so well that, at times, it looks like they are limbs of the same body. Like you, I like to look deeper, even if I am not very good at finding explanations, because even without a clear explanation, the substance of what they are talking about is real and true. Most KPop does little for me - the artists are very obviously very skilled, but it is rare for idols to be allowed much artistic freedom so the songs often seem very superficial and repeating moments from the same subject themes. BTS dives. I have not been able to actually show BTS to any of my small number of friends - and frankly, I don't know if I could bear to see that kind of polite, bland reaction. Several times I have asked them to explore for themselves, but, while one of them said she had listened to some stuff, I really DO NOT know if I believe that she really listened. Maybe played it in the background perhaps. I want them to make even the smallest effort to understand! It makes me sad. I can't help thinking that one friend in particular might need BTS (ish) - has been buffeted with awful working relationships and escaping from one narcissistic supervisor and then found herself in a new job with a new company, and another narcissist!

Many have explained what this song means, so for me this is a reminder of how blessed we are that they didn’t disband and that they continue to share their art, passion and love with us!💜Thank you Roscoe, excited for the next comfy couch gathering,

As I mentioned before, Suga started this song when BTS was contemplating disbanding. I read somewhere that disbanding to Joonie meant shedding tears; to Suga it meant tearing out his heart; to Hobi it meant his biggest fear. I was so hoping you’d end the week with this. God I love this song 💜

Yoongis part is my fav his line " the dream has finally become just a dream" hits me so hard 😭 this song is just heart-wrenching. I hate when people who don't know bts say they're not deep or just have happy-go-lucky songs, I always tell them hell nah read tears lyrics then say that to me.

ooh mate outro tear is A Spectacle for the eyes, A Stab to the heart once you read the lyrics. Dior made these outfits specially for BTS for their Love Yourself concerts and dare I say it made the guys feel ELEVATED 🔥

Suga had a solo song "Burn It" it is played daily in our house. Often during homeschool math lessons 🤣 when you have time add it to what I'm sure it a very long list you have of things to listen too! Lol

" these guys belong on stage!" 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 When i discovered TEAR i listened 4 hours without break, it teard me...and i did not know it was about them disband

My most fav rapline song. The emotions in this song is just so overwhelming 😭

The day we learned that this song was about the members when they were on the verge of disbanding was intense for army. That reveal made it so much more powerful and meaningful. What a relief they are (still) 7.

The way I got instantly excited but also my stomach dropped when I saw this thumbnail pop-up. Tear is just THAT song. I knew you'd love it, and I knew I'd love watching you love it, but damn it's always a punch to the gut. This is my #1 rap line song.

That was great. I never been apart of something like this before. Even if I missed most of it.. have a good weekend and stay safe couch crew.. thank you Roscoe

Thank you for this!!! You asked about Suga’s verse when he spelled T.E.A.R. This refers to the tasks of grief: T = To accept the reality of loss E = Experience the pain of the loss A = Adjust the new environment without the lost person R = Reinvest in the new reality Tear is a piece of their heart. Its heart wrenching for us too.

Yes!!!! I hope you did the Live one from London, because their emotions were palpable on Live version. Love the recorded, but incomparable to Live performance.

I’m thankful I got to see this performed live. I wish I could upload my fancam of the audience, during the chorus of this song, here. It’s so loud, we probably echoed for miles. I became Army when this album came out and this is still one of my fav BTS songs. It gives me chills every time. Joon and Yoongi set us up to be knocked out by Hobi. Love this song!

So glad you did live. The energy, interplay of RM, Suga and J Hope live, the best! That Suga wrote it about them talking about disbanding and how they cried hearing it. The intensity shows the deep feelings this brings to them. Still can relate to anyone in a break up situation.

You said "these guys, all 7 belong here on stage" The sad part is, at that time, they weren't sure they could continue. Everything was happening so fast they weren't sure they could handle it. But the thought of giving up, disbanding and loosing each other was to much for them to handle. That's why when they were writing this song, they all cried.When you know this, this performance really hits you hard, They were contenplating giving up on their dream. It makes me cry every time, They decided they had to at least try. And we "Army" are thankful that they did.

This performance, this song..are just it! And our Sunshine came for everyone that day💜

T.E.A.R. is related to psychology. It's about the tasks of grief: T = to accept the reality of the loss. E= experience the pain of the loss. A= adjust to the new environment without the person lost. R= reinvest in the new reality. You said "they were made to it (stage)" and that's why we have them til now. It was the reason they decided not to disband in 2018. Their way to put every problem on the table and discuss it to solve it it's awesome, I would like to be this way...

General rule fo thumb, Rapline almost always 95% of the time, write their own verses. Sometimes other rappers might write the rap for the other but generally they all write their own rap verses and they also write for the vocal line. Vocal line have written songs for themselves as well but when it comes to BTS group related solos, sometimes its vocal line writing their own with others or its the rapline and other big hit regulars helping write. But Rapline usually write their own. But this song my god. It was sad enough but when Yoongi revealed what this song is really about we cried. And we only found out the truth in their documentary that dropped in 2020. As for Outro Tear, the boys wrote their own verses but they also helped each other out and had other writers in as well.

Yes,actually Suga wrote this song...it was the song that he wrote when they struggled with disbanding thing that time....all the members were cryng when their first heard this song

So much respect for their art and lyricism.. you’re right to use the word “substantial”. Their songs have significance and always relatable.💜

Aaah, that last part from Hobi... Gave me chills every single time!! He truly put out all of his emotions here. And, gotta mention his Dior outfit... Perfection 👌💜.

All art is subjective. So it moves people in different ways and we find the meaning in relation to what it causes us to feel. The one who creates, of course, fashions their art in relation to their experience. So draw from their music what you will. This song was written during a difficult and pivotal time with BTS. Finding out how this song was born was both heartbreaking and beautiful for me. You don't like spoilers so you won't ever hear it from me. The meaning of this song is explained in their docuseries, Break the Silence. 💜

Suga's vocals and lyrics ARE raw. That is a perfect way to describe him. This is why I am so drawn to his work...he brings his entire soul into everything that he does. This song makes me cry but at the same time it is so beautiful that they were able to express themselves in this way and work through their emotions. And its so relatable because everyone of us has been through this process.

Roscoe I have been trying to tell you. They all have pluralities about them. All 7 of them. If you ever get around to Hobi’s Boy Meets Evil, you will see his dark side. And of course the dancing and cinematography is insane. Suga’s Shadow is the same and deals with mental health and loneliness. When you start getting into the run BTS etc you will see how funny and loving they are. The millisecond they step on stage, they turn into absolute beasts. Whether it be dancing, singing, rapping or whatever. You hit it on the head, they are all meant to do this. Consummate professionals and total beasts!!

Sobbing into my coffee.. This song is so powerful. If they had stopped back when this was written I would never have found them and that.. scares me.

This song gives me goosebumps. Definitely my top 5!! Rap line supremacy 💜

This song hits me in, perhaps, a strange way. I was 8 years old when I began to actively hate my body. (Unfortunately all too common for dancers and gymnasts.) This song speaks to me about trying to hang on to a healthy relationship with myself. Torn between self-loathing and desperately wanting to love myself. Something I've struggled with for over 30 years. And that's the fantastic thing about art-and BTS in particular-the connection the music makes with our own personal stories and feelings.

SO excited for this. Outro Tear is in my top 5 BTS songs. I'm commenting now because whenever your videos are uploaded its 1am here in New Zealand and by the time I watch it, it's many hours later and I'm always late 😆

I so,so love this song ... Beautifully written, passionately recorded/performed...It give me chills everytime...

I'm Army since 2016...and this song, is one of my all time favorite of them. Luckily I saw this performance 2x times live. It's really raw and captivating!!! Greetings from Germany 💜💜💜

This performance was everything... So emotionally powerful. I still get goosebumps listening to it. You can see how RM, Suga and hobi were feeling and expresing the lyrics clearly thu the way they were performing. Anger, frustration, sadness, guilt, longing..... And what's more interesting is when u know the meaning and the reason they wrote this. It becomes even more special. Hats off to them. At the end, I always cry seeing jhope teary.

O M G ROSCOE!!! Besides Mono, I have been quietly waiting for you to react to any song from the LY Tear album! On the ibighit site, the description says "LOVE YOURSELF 轉 ‘TEAR’ album embodies the pain of boys faced with parting." Many of my favourite tracks are on this album as the lyrics really hit me hard, like a good upper cut. Outro Tear is my favourite BTS track.. Feels like my past troubles around loss are perfectly compacted in a song. All the questions from the confusion, to the T.E.A.R model of grief, to the fear from all the emotional flashbacks that repeats. Then years later learning what it was really about.. 🤯 It is like a leet rogue's finishing move or a super combo strike before ko.. this song is a masterpiece!! You are awesome Roscoe! Never change!!💜💜💜 Edit after watching: This is my most played song and for the very reason you mentioned! It reminds me to accept and embrace my truths as it's so easy to forget the 'other' perspective . What I love about this, is we get 3 sides of the story in one song and it feels complete. Same like you.. I liked the song the first time but i'm obsessed with it now. Every time I did watch it, it layered up and now has become my most go to song!! I think initially I wasn't ready to face some truths perhaps but when you are ready.. it becomes everything and more. Magic Shop is another song that didnt impact me much at first but is everything to me now. lol I love BTS!!! xo

What you spoke on about at the end is exactly the frustration is with them. No one in my life will give the time to break down then lyrics and understand any of their songs. They don’t understand why I watch and learn so much about their music. They just say I am looking for validation that I like what I like. But I’ve never experienced music or an artist before that has made me want to go out and learn more about psychology or read several books (Dante’s Inferno, Omelas short story, etc.) to understand. And I feel like that is half the fun and it’s what makes music resonate and never get old. With generic songs, you play them enough and get bored, I’ve found with BTS I never do. Each time it plays I’m either bopping to the beat, recalling lyrics , or being distracted by vocals.

Hi Roscoe. This is why I love BTS.....they wear their hearts on their sleeves. Their rap is so honest and real unlike other rappers whose rap should be spelt with a c in front of it. Everything BTS does has meaning. They are awesome. 😘

This song and their speech at the MAMA Awards 2018 is so heartbreaking 💔 when you know the background.

Learning to find the meaning in BTS songs is a gateway to searching for meaning in life. BTS is teaching their ARMY to think and feel on a deeper level. They know what they are doing.

Ahhhh yessss! Can’t wait for this one! I’ll be there with bells on! I mean tissues… I mean… Gosh this one was actually a very emotional one for me back when I found out what it was actually written about 💜 it’s so powerful can’t wait to se your reaction!

They did all write their own verses for this song. Beautiful performance

What I love about BTS is all the layers. The outer layer is just feeling the vibe of the song. Next we start the looking at the visuals. Then we move on to the lyrics, the details, the story. With some of the songs/albums, I am reading books that are referenced in the lyrics (Kafka on the Shore in the song Butterfly, Omelas for Spring Day, Damien for the whole Wings album and related MVs and short films...) SUGA shared, “The lyrics for Tear were written for the members. When I was writing the melody, at the time, we were deeply contemplating whether we should quit or not. When I played the song for the members, we all cried together.” Two letters are 이별, meaning parting Yes, the members write their own parts after given the melody/beat and concept, and then collaborate and refine.

Despite the heartbreaking reason that led to writing this song I will never get tired to admire their intelligence, the consideration they put in every word. T = To accept the reality of loss E = Experience the pain of the loss A = Adjust to the new environment without the lost person R = Reinvest in the new reality I mean how do you even come up with that? I will never get over it.

😃Roscoe! Great reaction! Outro: Tear is a Suga song. He wrote the base of this song when the boys were thinking of disbanding. Tear is a song about BTS breaking up. You are correct that the guys wrote their lyrics, it hits different when you know they wrote them about the band breaking apart.😳 RM says tear as in cry, Suga says tear as in rip and Jhope says fear of course. Mind(Joonie), body(Hobi heart) and soul(Yoongi). Journey on... 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I think I mentioned this performance on every video since you first said you were doing the rap line. I couldn't wait. I remember sitting in a theater with my husband watching a BTS movie and a clip of this song came on. I leaned close to him and pointed at Suga and said, his verse is so brutal. A few months later he asked me for a divorce right before our 25th anniversary. Then I felt Suga's, burn it so there is nothing left. (And you killed me with go for a drive, listen to this song and let it out, because I have and now I am again. Not driving, just crying.) Whether this song is about the band breaking up or a relationship ending, I think the feelings can be the same. My 25 year marriage to someone I felt I knew and shared the same dreams/path with can feel the same as 7 members finding out maybe they weren't walking the same path on the same dream. Another personal story for the family. I hope there are tissues and someone with a comfy shoulder on that couch. 💜

Woooow... I really love this song so emotional.. there are only few rap that can make my heart ache.. specially Suga's rap

I loved being in the premiere.. the chat with the couch crew was awesome.. but ya'll finished the sprite before giving me some 😂😂.. anyways.. this song is a masterpiece.. SPOILER ALERT Mr. Roscoe.. don't read the rest of this comment if you don't want to know the reason behind this song.. While song actually ties into the whole theme of Love Yourself: Tear album and it's the perfect outro to the album.. it describes in beautiful poetry how parting in a relationship means.. and how you imagine seeing the true meaning of love when you go through such times.. however Suga has said that they wrote this song in a time when they considered disbandment.. they were all going through a tough time in the time between 2015-2017.. they were receiving much hate for no reason.. and ARMY had always supported them through these tough times.. and it was also the time when they started getting famous internationally and it felt very overwhelming for them.. but in the end they pulled themselves together and helped each other to stay strong.. and here we are.. still on this journey in 2022.. Suga said he played this song when they were all gathered together and they all cried after hearing it.. which explains how deep and emotional this song is.. and how much it means to them.. which you can see in their eyes during performing it.. it's a powerful song.. and like you said.. you can be going through something like a breakup or any kind of parting and play this song and let it all out.. again BTS songs can relate to everyone.. Thank you Mr. Roscoe for hanging out.. it was a pleasure.. see you next time.. purple you 💜💜💜💜💜

This is my top 5 from the rapline..it so much emotional and powerful rap.can't wait to see this.

I love this reaction! I'm glad you watched this wonderful live show right away and said your own interpretation! #protectthecouch

This is how it is to love BTS and ARMY. We love each other so much and love our boys. And we love taking in new fans and guiding them through the BTS journey and turning them into ARMY with us 💜💜💜

After discovering BTS and learning about their creativity and effort to send a message through their music, I became more interested in finding the meaning of their lyrics. This eventually transferred into making connections with my personal experiences and now it has become part of my life. Totally change my perspective on how I respond to certain situations. In the process having the opportunity to meet so many ARMY with similar struggles that offer emotional support to each other has been life changing. So when people ask me why do you like BTS...because they taught me to Love myself...it is a work in progress, but definitely helped me become a better version of me. This song will always have a special place in ARMY's heart.

Whew! This live of Tear gets me every time! RM & Suga kill it but J-Hope’s passionate performance makes me hold my breath. 😩 I’m loving how you watch it first for feel and then go back and look at the lyrics. I appreciate you 💜

Yay!!!! This is my favorite BTS song, especially when I learned the meaning behind it! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

The emotions on Hobi's face always gets me 😭 and once you learn about the background of the song (which am sure you know by now with the hundreds of comments) you'll see the song in another light 😌 I don't listen to this song breaking down, I use it to remember the importance of people around me. I try to cherish everyone who cherishes me, so that I won't regret if one day something happens, cause I was honest with them and gave it all. Lol Roscoe I'll answer your question that you don't want us to answer, "it didn't happen to me yet". Even if a song is not my style, once I learn about the message they try to portray through it, the song has a place in my playlist already 😅. Namjoon is obsessed with Converse btw, so much that he wrote a song about it lol. Being "forced" to be part of the song along with the other members, Suga wrote his part "beautifully" . You may want to check it out 😉☺️ My comment is getting long and I don't know how many mistakes I made while writing 😅💜💜💜🇩🇿

This performance is my fave because of Hobis passion in the end

bts write their lyrics in a way that can be based on a specific event but they extrapolate the emotions of the event from multiple areas. a lot of armys will tell you this song was written about bts’ potential disbandment, which is true. but the way the lyrics are written also emulate romantic breakups or even familial breakup. their lyrics are specific but simultaneously also open ended. that’s why i admire their writing so much.

The lyrics are poetry! So much meaning and expressions in every song.

Dude, preparing myself now for when you drop the MMA 2019 reaction video. It is 40sh minutes by itself plus “a day” of Roscoe reacting to it🤣 Oh dear I better up my popcorn game on that one!🤩

The way hobi ended this...still gives me chills and I've seen it like 100x. So good.

I've been angry all day because of the protesting situation in Toronto and it was affecting my place of work but I still had to go and do my job but it was all worth it to just come home and relax with you. All my worries and anger just disappears and I'm just vibing with you as you get blown away by the rapline ^^

I love that different sides of them that come out as soloist, as rap or vocal line, as sub units and as all 7 of them together. There is so much versatility in each member.

"These guys belong on stage!"-Roscoe 2022 ...Yeah 🥰

As someone who is in the midst of going thru a divorce this song hits extremely hard. Lyrics are genius and their performance is beyond amazing. Edit: I'm gonna take that drive and sit in this song. I haven't done it yet but will. 💜💜💜

​i love seeing how joy that comes with music overflows in you roscoe, same

Suga *is* the most raw of the three ... your perception is correct, heh. I think it is one of the things that makes us really cherish him.

They do really belong on stage. And so many layers to their music and performance.

The power this live holds. They really had their feet on our necks the whole time.

The lyricism here blows my mind !! ✨✨💜

Favorite rap line piece. It’s so emotional, so raw. The live is insane. The first time I heard this I cried like a baby. Every time I listen to it, my heart hurts. All three of them were top of their game in the Wembley live. This is probably the most emotional I’ve seen Hobi, but I’m a baby army and haven’t seen everything yet (you should watch Hobi’s Boy Meets Evil MV, and then watch it slowed down to see some amazing jaw-dropping passionate dancing). For me, this has all the hallmarks of Suga’s rap, which is how I came to BTS, because of the emotion, you can tell he wrote the music. I listen to this multiple times a day because the music is so beautiful, the flow of the rap is gorgeous, and the emotion makes me feel when I’m still struggling every day to not slide back into the numbness. BTS reminds me every day that the world and life don’t totally suck. You help as well. Your honest and enthusiastic reactions are wonderful to experience. Thank you.

I love how BTS uses psychology into the lyrics. These guys are SO talented. Thanks for sharing your journey through their music with us. 💜
