I Finished the BTS Love Yourself series, and I have thoughts | BTS Answer | FULL Album Reaction 

Thanks for being patient everyone!! I've been so blown away by the kindness of the ARMY. Figured I'd do everything I could to get the full version of this up here ❤️. I'll have the edited 'You Never Walk Alone' up on RU-vid in a few weeks. It'll be Full on patreon before that (theres alot of other BTS stuff on there as well!). Subscribe here in the meantime! This series did a lot of things for my heart, mind, & perspective, & I’m eternally grateful for that. Sending so much love.

About trivia: love- there’s another little thing that those who don’t know Korean can easily miss! The word for person is 사람 (saram)while the word for love is 사랑 (sarang) so when he says “I’m just a person, you erode all my edges and turn me to love” is a play on words to how the ㅁ turns to ㅇ. Further proving how genius of a writer RM is. Btw I love your reaction videos to their music!!

The message at the end of the Epiphany music video: "At the end of my journey to find myself, everything was back to where I started. What I ultimately needed to find was the beginning milestone of everything, which is a map of ones soul. It’s something everyone possesses but not all can find.. From now on, I plan on searching for it"

female backing vocals in the Trivia songs is Adora, Until recently, she was one of the producers under BigHit (she recently started her own solo singing career)

trivia: love is insaaane. another thing about it, when he names all those letters in between i and u (jklmnopqrst), he purposefully separates and says pqrst in quick succession, because PQRST are the waves of the ECG (connected to the human heart.. another metaphor in there).

Epiphany live was literally life-changing. 40,000 ARMYs holding their purple lights aloft singing "I'm the one I should love in this world" alongside Jin's powerful ballad vocals?? Literally just goosebumps all over. Everyone was crying and it sounds dumb but it was like an epiphany for me too. I've heard I should love myself a million times but hearing it live, singing it with Jin and ARMY, I internalized it for the first time. And Jin is the nation's power balladeer for sure and he sounds just as good live. I love all of our vocalists but I FEEL Jin's voice in my bones. He's my favorite vocalist because of the emotion so clear in it.

I just wanted to bring up how genius and superior the the LY: Answer tracklist is. BTS use traditional asian storytelling format for this series i.e. 起 (beginning), 承 (development), 轉 (twist), and 結 (conclusion). They specifically placed all the songs in the tracklist, following each theme to a tee and use the trivias as a transitional song for each emotion and stage the person goes through in order to love themselves. I'm gonna try my best to break the whole thing down. *note: this list only uses the tracks in the first cd! 起 (beginning) : Wonder/Her - A person starting to fall in love with another This section includes the following songs 1. Euphoria 2. Trivia 起: Just Dance 3. Serendipity 4. DNA 5. Dimple 承 (development) - The person deciding to dedicate and to only love another person, not themselves This section includes the following songs 6. Trivia 承: Love 7. Outro: Her 轉 (twist) : Tear - The person starts to hide their true self with a mask in order to look perfect in front of the person they love and then comes to realize that the love they shared was not what it turned out to be. It was fake love. So the person finally leaves the relationship to love themselves instead. This section includes the following songs 8. Singularity 9. Fake Love 10. The Truth Untold 11. Trivia 轉: Seesaw 12. Outro: Tear 結 (conclusion) : Answer - The person realizes that they should love themselves first before loving others hence the conclusion to the series and theme of the love yourself albums. This section includes the following songs 13. Epiphany 14. I'm Fine 15. Idol 16. Answer: Love Myself Seriously BTS went off on this album LOL and a bonus thing I wanted to add is that when you were speaking about this line at 1:17:34 it reminded me of a quote from RM "These faults and mistakes are what I am, making up the brightest stars in the constellation of my life" and it really stuck with me till this day. Sorry this comment is supeerrr long I'm seriously in love with your channel and your thought provoking discussions and ideas. Thanks again for reacting and I'm looking forward to the rest of your BTS Journey! ((: Edit!! Thank you all for the kind replies I received. It really made my day ( ; - ; ) I'm so happy to be part of ARMY 💜

a "comeback trailer" is basically the song that embodies the overall theme the album is going to carry. They release the trailers before the album is officially released, and it gives fans time to theorize the direction of what the album is going to sound like. Singularity was the trailer for Tear, and Serendipity was the trailer for Her. Those songs give the overall theme for each album.

Idol: they wanted a festival feeling. Celebration. This song was made to be performed. If you watch their performances and their concert this song is the absolute best. It is one of my favorite concert songs. They have various versions from EDM and rock. The whole stadium literally vibrates as everyone dances and sings. I’m not kidding. Literally their stage and even stadium shakes. It’s amazing Jin said this is one of his favorite songs to perform. He said when he looks at the crowd we aren’t even looking at them sometimes but we are just dancing and enjoying it with them and he loves that.

i love how u admired rm's lyrics, especially the "jklmnopqrst" part! so i wanted to add that when he rapped it, he said "pqrst" way faster than the rest of the letters and that's bc during ecg "pqrst" represent a single heartbeat so he's basically saying that he crossed all of these letters in a single heartbeat

Bro IDOL live is insane. It’s like a party with the choreography and all the fans screaming ‘you can’t stop me loving myself’

Time line for you 💜 4:30 Euphoria 14:20 Just Dance 23:15 Love 32:55 Seesaw 45:20 Enpiphany 55:02 I’m fine 1:04:22 Idol 1:11:45 Answer Love Myself 1:29:25 Mikrokosmos 1:35:36 Home

no matter how many times i've listened to epiphany, i swear the song will always give me chills :') it's so beautiful in every way

In Euphoria, "a priori" is actually a term used in philosophy to describe something you have knowledge of only in theory (as opposed to a posteriori which is knowledge you've gained through experience). If that helps with the lyrics. :) Also as a note on that song, it seems euphoric and can be taken that way at face value. But my sister is a social worker and when she read it she went to a more sinister place because of certain euphemisms common when one talks about sui*ide. Not just the tranlations--k-ARMYs got the references too (like the rainbow bridge). And in the context of BTS' fictional storyline, both Jungkook's and the other member of his pairing (Suga's) characters commit sui*ide. The MV picks up on some of the more sinister tones and even in the choreo you see Jungkook lean over a "ledge" and hands holding him back. Anyway, not to take away any of it's face-value message--it really does induce a feeling a euphoria and can totally be read in a vacuum to be happy. That was probably the intention knowing BTS who often write their songs so that they take on different meanings depending on the context in which you consume them. (Surface level v. thematic with regard to the album v. narrative with regard to the Bangtan Fictional Universe).

No because I was sobbing when I heard this live at the Rosebowl stadium, hearing 70k ppl screaming “I’m the one I should love” gave me chills

j-hope is a performer first. Like he's a brilliant, skilled rapper, a clever lyricist, a professional dancer, a great singer...but he lives and breathes for the stage and he meticulously crafts his solos and his verses for the stage and the audience experience. Just Dance was the show stealer at the Love Yourself and Love Yourself: Speak Yourself Tours. And it's ARMY legend that everyone leaves a BTS concert j-hope biased. I'm a living testament. haha. Seeing j-hope live is what made me a j-hope bias (after 8 months firmly in Jimin's camp). Anyway, if you look at his music through that lens, the craft of it is brilliant.

it would be so convenient if u listened to mono RM’s mixtape after this, it’s just like another conversation to have with yourself after going through these albums, love your reactions and your thoughts on the albums can’t wait for more!!

Hey! Don't know if anyone's told you but here's what's said at the end of Epiphany's video: "To come to the end of the process of finding one's self means to return to the starting point. What must be discovered in the end is the beginning of everything, the milestone, the map of the soul. Although a part of everyone it is not discovered by anyone - I will try to find it, starting now." The very end shot is a reference to BTS's ongoing storyline that's gone, officially, throughout their videos from I Need U (though not every video since then falls into this story universe), and unofficially from even as early as Danger.

You'll be happy to know there's a full version of Epiphany with another verse! The comeback trailer is a shortened version. I absolutely love the message of this song, it has a special place in my heart. His live performances of it are so magical.

Also jin has sooooo many high High notes . Some of the most popular would be crystal snow (maybe the best even) , come back home , Fake love , Dionysus (Epic) , don't leave me , let go , moon , Love myself and so on. He's basically the ballads king in bts

Jimin and V had solos with Serendipity and Singularity that are put back into this album if you listen to it on spotify! You get the full story from the happy start of the relationship with euphoria, Trivia:Just dance, Serendipity and Trivia:Love, then Singularity when the love turns bad and toxic because you erase yourself (with Fake Love and Truth Untold) and Trivia:Seesaw when it finally breaks... And then Epiphany, when you realise the answer is to Love Yourself 😊 It's a long album that's kind of like a compilation of the whole series but with many new songs 💜

the comeback trailer is not the full song for epiphany btw!! the album song has a whole extra verse also im fine is a reversal of their 2016 song save me!! the lines in both songs mirror each other it is really cool to compare the two love your btw reactions!! cant wait to see ynwa

The fact that i have already watched this multiple times on patreon and am here😂😂😂😂 please react to some live performances of what you’ve reacted to so far🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🥺🥺🥺🥺please Ps… i was so sad to find the ama twitch stream had already gone down…

Hey, just so you don't get the wrong tattoo, the line says "even the SCARS that were formed from my own mistakes are my very own constellations". Scars not stars! 😅 I love your reaction btw! You're probably my favourite reactor on this app and I'm always happy to hear your thoughts on these songs!

fyi RM usually live streams after every album release and takes us through the album. He give us some behind the scenes, context, demo snippets, info on the poduction/writing process, his own interpretation of each song. You can watch them for free on VLIVE or RU-vid with English subs. Suga did the same for his mixtapes.

The way that namjoon plays with the words in korean is just SO CLEVER of him. If you want to understand all abt the lyrics i suggest you to search about it bc there are so many refferences to the hangul (the korean alfabet). When he said "you invade all my corners" he did an amazing interpretation of 2 letters of the alfabet. INCREDIBLE!! amazing reaction, love to watch your bts reactions :))

I also fell in love instantly with Epiphany as far as I remember.....Jin made me feel like crying with this. The live performances are also so good..I hope you'll watch those even if just for the high notes .

idol was partly a response to people saying they were becoming too americanized during that era. they used traditional korean instruments and sounds in the song and even wore traditional clothing called hanbok in the music video. it’s their way to say you can say what you want about me but i know that i’ve stayed true to who i am and i’ve never changed and i never will.

Michael!! Amazing reaction as always! i love how your brain works wow i like how you think!! A conversation between you and RM would be so intelligent and interesting to hear

Love Yourself came out when i was still so unsure about myself and had a lot of self doubt… BTS and this Series helped me heal through a difficult time. Im still far from Loving Myself but this trilogy was the first step in that direction! 😊

AH! I love your reactions so much. Your comments and reaction is EVERYTHING. I cannot wait for YNWA album, especially 'Spring Day' and '2!3!'... oh gosh.. im already so excited!!! Forever grateful for your channel :) My favorite BTS reactor hehehehehe. :))

Before watching this I just wanted to say thank you for giving them a chance when you first listened to them, I've been watching your channel a for a long time being a swiftie and I love how you interpret and feel the music 💜 Also "I'm Fine" is a song that helped me a lot in my life and a song I cherish with all my heart so I can't wait to see what you think of it 😊 Ps: that HP mug is amazing

Did I subscribe to your Patreon just so I could watch this reaction? Yes. Is that gonna stop me from watching it here? Absolutely not. 💜💜💜

If you thought that Epiphany note was gorgeous, do find a video of Jin singing Epiphany live in concert (lots of vids around but I personally prefer his performances during the Speak Yourself tour)

if you haven't already--Trivia: Love unpacks so much more. Doolset lyrics will help explain the other things too---like sitting or squashing the letter to turn it into love. RM's mind and genius are crazy, LOL thank you for going thru the series; LY: Tear is the album that brought me to BTS---and then the rabbit hole LOL

you should definitely check out a live epiphany performance on tour- the feeling of thousands of people singing “i’m the one i should love in this world” is so powerful!

I’ve actually gotten quite emotional watching you react to this album. This trilogy. Their sheer existence. It makes me emotional. I’ve always been a music lover but discovered BTS in 2017. I just don’t know how to put it into words but they’re so much more than just great artists. They’re more than great humans. With my whole being, I truly believe that these seven guys are are as close to angels on earth as we will ever see.

Just wanted to add smt I absolutely adore abt *Trivia: Love:* My favorite line in this track is *"Though I and U are still very distant, F☆☆☆ JKLMNOPQRST, I crossed over every letter and reached you"* Everything abt it is so excellent. There're so many unspoken layers you can find in this. Like the *PQRST* ecg heartbeat reference adds unspoken context that *I* crossed all these letters and reached *U* in a heartbeat even though *I* and *U* are so distant. And add that with the "you make *I* to an *O"* and "live to a love" lines, and how he pauses at the *O* before *PQRST* heartbeat reference. So, you can read this like, "as *I* crossed over all these letters and reached *U,* *U* makes *I* to an *O,* which makes _live_ to a _love,_ so when a person *(I)* lives by love, the heart beats bc of *U."* Agh, it's just brilliant poetry~ 🥺🥰💜

btw, you probably would like to know that Jin's song isn't complete on the MV! There is a bigger version on Spotify that i recommend a lot, his voice really is beautiful, thank you for your reaction!! 💜

Even before starting the video I just want to say how happy it makes me that it is almost 2 hours long. I’ll be back in the comment section!

oh my i cried again! Jin’s epiphany hits really hard. I’ve never been to their concert but it gaves me goosebump, when i watched Jin and army’s sang that song in a huge arena. i am truly happy that you love this song, hundreads or maybe thousand of armys relate to this song. and you are right! there is nobody else can sing this song except Jin! our silver voice, full of emotion and sincerity. you should watch the live perf of this song. 💜💜💜

the "live and love" that you hear as layered vocals in trivia: love are partly rm and partly june’s vocals !! june is a former bighit trainee that’s now signed with planetarium records as a part of the group PLT (in the final chorus you also hear him hit that high note and vocal run)

I think this is my favorite album. The solo songs on this are phenomenal and I just always find myself coming back to it and listening to it all the way through. Plus it’s kind of a mix of the other love yourself albums so you get a little bit of everything.

You should hear the entire Citifield stadium sing along with Jin, yelling I'M THE ONE I SHOULD LOVE, being heard all around the city

seeing people appreciate namjoon's lyrics will always be my hapiness. he puts so much thought into his words . he earned the name in korea of "THE PHILOSOPHER WHO RAPS"

I'm so excited every time I see you've taken on more BTS. Jungkook is my bias too and I absolutely love this entire album. Thank you so much for putting in the time and effort to give us these!

Okay Army, he asked about the Ford commercial at the end of "Epiphany"... I think he might be ready for the BU (BTS Universe/Bangtan Universe). Basically, BTS has used multiple albums, multiple music videos, webtoons, notes, diaries and short films over the past several years to create ONE cohesive storyline (that's actually still continuing). It's a deeeeeeeep dive and one of the most mind blowing journeys you'll ever go on should you accept the challenge.

OMG! I'm so excited for this. I love love LOOOOOOVE following your reactions and breakdowns of BTS albums. I truly hope you'll do more!

I feel like the love myself series becomes even more meaningful when you know what bts as people were going through while writing this series so please allow me to go through a (hopefully) quick bts history lesson here. BTS started in a really small company and at the time they were mostly a hip-hop group, lead very heavily by RM and Suga´s worldview and experience in the hip-hop scene. Their debut itself was both a victory (because things were so dire financially that there was a chance they wouldn't even get that chance) and in a way, a break with their past selves because to the hip-hop community, them debuting as idols was pretty much "selling out". They were called out for this repeatedly and that's one of the reasons the song IDOL is so powerful for those who know bts´ history. Because for a long time the whole artist vs idol thing was something they struggled with a lot (mostly rm and suga and their first mixtapes talk A LOT about this) and in IDOL they finally embrace both sides. Then after the extremely rough start bts slowly climb through the industry, even though A LOT of people tried to bring them down, even as far actually suing them in court, not to mention the several smear campaigns they had to go through while coming up, but then in 2016 they finally win their first daesang (grand prize) at a korean award show and you can feel like they are so proud of this achievement but there's also a real fear that, that´s as high as they can go as a kpop group. Then 2017 comes (the year love yourself: her comes out) and they start not only a whole new series but also a whole new chapter of their careers, this time targeting the US and in that really the world as a whole. For me love yourself: her represents the beginning of that journey, all the dreams they had, the exciting beginning, although you can already feel some tension and fear as well. In 2017 they had their first song on the billboard top 100 with DNA and performed for the first time at an american award show the AMAs. Suga has often talked about how after that performance he went to shower and just cried, cried and cried, because he was so afraid of that came next and he felt like he wasn't prepared to deal with it. And here you have to understand that what bts was doing, even in 2017 when they didn't have a sliver of the fame they have now, was already completely unprecedented for korean musicians and it was also very lonely because no one they knew had gone through that journey. Like suddenly they were going so much further than where any kpop artist had gone before but they also didn't feel like they had a place in the western industry as well. Then 2018 came, the year they wrote tear and also the year they considered disbanding, exactly because of all that pressure they were feeling and how it was affecting them in different ways. So, in that album you can really feel all the pain and sort of confusion they were going through. It was supposed to be an amazing moment because they had tons of success but internally things were rocky. And then thankfully they managed to pull themselves together and overcome that, decide once again that they really wanted to DO THIS and that's where love myself answer comes from. The single of that album was IDOL and I feel like that's significant to not only the whole artist/idol thing I mention before but also if you watch the music video and the performances, there is a lot of traditional korean culture in that song so it was also kind of a f*ck to you the people who, once again said they sold out, only this time to the western market. So that song is like, yes, we are artists, yes we are idols, yes we are korean but also we are part of the world and we are proud of all of it. Bts members have also talked a lot about how the love yourself series and the love yourself tour was a way for them to explore those themes in their personal lives and figure out how they could really love themselves more. I also mention the tour here because this was their most toured series and for fans who lived through those tours it's very hard to separate the albums from the tours, since some songs really came even more alive when sung live and with a huge crowd. I´m so sorry for this essay but listening to your reaction brought a lot of memories back from the time these albums were released and I thought you might want to hear them. Thanks for taking me on that journey as well.

At 1:18:10 that line " even the scars that were formed from my mistakes are my very own constellations" makes me think about how when we look at the stars we see a map of constellations across the sky, a map that can be used to guide a traveler on a journey and that map of stars is what makes the sky beautiful, like our souls. So our mistakes leave scars, like stars, and build constellations that reveal the map of our souls that shows us the way through the maze of loving ourselves. This is a wonderful way to lead to the next album, Map of the Soul: Persona.

The background vocals on 'Trivia: Seesaw' is actually one of their producers (now soloist) ADORA

43:02 Just one thing to add to Trivia: Seesaw, when Suga talked about the parallels, often times if one person in down on the ground the other person is too high to get off, and if the person the is down get off when the person is high up the other end will go crashing to the ground thus maker the person who got off first "the bad guy" as suge put it in the second verse, so the one time when the seesaw remains parallel to the ground is when both parties stand up and is ready to get off. The seesaw is a metaphore for the unhealthy relationship to begin with. One person was in an unhealth high and the other an unhealthy low, but because it felt like love they where unwilling to get off, but the one time they are on even ground is when the both decide to get off. So with Suga being on the seesaw before the other got on, this means that he was in an unhealthy low, ( maybe because of the lack of self love) and the other gave him a high so it because a competition for who was "heavier" At the end of the song suga after being left alone on the seesaw once again decided to finally get up.

The perfect video to finish the weekend

Yeah epiphany is THAT song....can you imagine thousands and thousands of ppl singing this song?? Crazy. Also def check out their mixtapes...esp Suga's, i think you'd like them. :)

what about speak yourself? it's an album for japanese audiences (and most of the songs are japanese versions of existing ones) but the ones that were made specifically for speak yourself ESPECIALLY DON'T LEAVE ME are OUTSTANDING. thank you for the reaction! i am currently going through hard times and i got to experience this amazing album all over again thanks to you. it was quite a journey.

in seesaw the ad libs, runs and backing vocals are actually performed by adora, former bts producer, shes absolutely amazing and super talented!! again thank u sm for this reaction, i love how u really care about analyzing and interpret the lyrics, have a great day! :D

Something I absolutely love about I'm Fine is, where its mirror (Save Me) is an (almost overly) emotional, dependent, desperate love song, I'm Fine, while a breakup song, isn't angry. It's not bitter, it's not cursing the last relationship or saying 'fuck you, Im better off without you', but rather, "Don't worry about me - I'll be okay, and I hope you will be too". The care from the relationship is still there. Like you mentioned - Seesaw and Epiphany talk about just realizing when a relationship isn't right anymore, and how you have to live for yourself first and foremost. That doesn't mean you stop caring about the person altogether. I'm Fine acknowledges that they are over, while, at the same time, acknowledging that for the time they were together, they helped each other grow, and while things are hard they still wish each other well. It's such a beautiful and mature song.

I enjoy your breakdowns and insights so much. You offered perspectives of the songs I haven’t realized on my own. Suga said that all their eps and albums the songs should be listened to in order because there is a story arc that is impossible to know from listening them piece meal. It’s not that the music isn’t still wonderful but so much is lost doing it that way. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your Bangtan journey as it progresses. FYI, Mikrocosmos is a love song about BTS’s & ARMY’s love for each other. The stars are what ARMY when we see BTS on stage & what they see when they look at all the ARMY bombs in the stadium when they perform. There are, of course, other perspectives, but that’s the most obvious one for ARMY.

Epiphany has a long version, very Beautiful lyrics 💜

Epiphany has a full version with a second verse :) For sure listen to the whole LY Answer album all the way through. Every track is very strategically placed with a beginning, middle, turn, and ending of the entire narrative. It was very fun to join you on this journey

Epiphany live performance is gold. Jin’s belting is gold. Please react to that. You’ll like

I have been waiting to see Michael get hit in the feels with Epiphany and I was not disappointed. Jin's vocals and emotion in this song went right to my soul the first time I heard. It's why he will always be my favorite vocalist in BTS, the chills he gives me every time he sings cannot be matched.

You can't imagine, how much this album helped me to grow, there's a phrase that say that "you find BTS when you need them the most" and i really think that's true. This album was a revelation to me and gives me the answer to some of my problems. You have to see Jin singing Epiphany live, it's just so beautiful and magical... Well, a love yourself concert for the complete experience 🤭

Bts always has songs that are just meant for live performances and idol is one of them. A lot of people weren't sure when they first heard it but knowing the meaning of it and seeing them perform it live really is amazing

' I have an headache ' same Michael same. Wait till you find out that in trivia:love, the gap between before pqrst is because pqrst represents the wavelength of a heartbeat🥲

1:19:10 I really love that lyrics too 🥺 RM said it when BTS came to UN for the first time and I remember I cried so hard for 2 days hearing RM's speech I have it on my purple hardcase for my phone 💜 "Yesterday's me, today's me, tomorrow's me Without exception, they all are me Even my scars make up the brightest stars in the constellation of my life"

"im fine" is actually a spinoff of their song "save me" which is from their hyyh young forever album. when they were doing promotions for the answer album/idol, they actually performed save me + im fine. if you listen to both of the songs, you'll notice that it sounds similar to each other. they used save me as a reference to i'm fine from it's sound, lyrics and message.

Trivia: Love makes my heart so warm! And the wordplays by RM are everything! It gives off some kind of warm energy watching his live performance of it with stadium full of people singing.

Love your album breakdowns from Adele to bts to lorde.. An interesting fact about Jin is that he was a theatre major in college nd critics have claimed that he treats his songs just like a monologue painting a perfect picture along with breaking your heart in each of his verse.. He is acclaimed as being Silver Voiced by the Grammy panel.. The song was not complete in the video I would def recommend checking the whole song out cuz the missing verse is Beautiful . You should def check their live performances out cuz what they bring to stage is different from the studio versions n so beautiful

"I love it, they love it, and I love all of you." And I love you! You have no idea how great it is to watch someone that not only appreciates the music, but also the lyricism, voices, and rhythm. Somone that manages to catch many of those double meanings and intentions behind it all. Someone that actually takes their time to listen and to think. You are the whole package! Hope you will keep coming with these album reactions! But do take your time and make sure you enjoy this first of all. We want to share our joy with you, and learn different perspectives💜

and for my 150th comment... the song i'm fine is connected to the song save me from their album "the most beautiful moment in life: young forever". i'm fine is a sort of answer to save me, its melody and beat are the literal reverse of the melody and beat of save me and the lyrics reference each other, but in reverse too. (there is a cool image of how the lyrics of i'm fine are like an ambigram response of the ones in save me). also, bts have written the phrase "save me" in a specific font - the visual of which appears in the fake love music video - so that, when you turn it upside down, the "save me" looks like it says "i'm fine".

just wanted to let you know adora (a producer in their company) does background vocals for the rapline often (not all the time though). the other vocal line members record vocal guide however if the rapline asks them

The live version of epiphany, hearing all of army sing with him basically makes me cry everytime ;(

Fun fact: the live performance of Epiphany is life changing

I love seesaw for many reasons. One being, it proves how everything doesn't necessarily have to be black and white. There's ALWAYS a grey area and this song is kinda like the 'Villian's POV' because in real life, we realize that a person isn't 100% evil as movies, songs etc. make them out to be...that's more or less what I feel when I listen to this song

Been waiting for this for so long, really wanted to see you finish the series! Saw the time stamp and thought wow that's long but it's 13 minutes in and your mind is still being blown by Euphoria so I know it's gonna be a good hour and 40 minutes 😂💜 this is such a special album and a special end to such a meaningful series. So glad you got around to it finally and that it's already so good for you

I'm from KSA🇸🇦I enjoyed watching all your viedos about BTS albums; You're a good listener and also u give your opinion about the lyrics of the song, so your opinion was realistic and fun, not boring or trying to be a compliment. It was real. Keep do it 🤍 Wish all the best 🤍

Epiphany live is life changing also your reaction to trivia:love was amazing bahaha I could definitely relate anyway thank u sm for your effort with these videos!! 🥺 (I can’t wait until you get to wings I’m so curious about your reaction to it haha)

Live epiphany is everything man. You would become whole another person after experiencing epiphany live.

I don't know if you saw the entire tracklist of Love Yourself:Answer and which songs repeat, but in the overall story, trivia songs seem to be like "extra information", just like the word implies. It isn't important to know for the main story, but it's cool emotional moments in the overarching story. And it's also trivia (meaning three roads in latin) = three possible outcomes to a love story, one non-serious love, one serious and life-changing, and one that falls apart. Personally, I also think they could follow one story - Just Dance is about meeting someone and falling in love, Love is about being in love with someone deeply, and Seasaw is falling out of love. Also, if you see the entire tracklist, all seven solo songs are there :) Following the solo tracks, Idol is an important self-love song on the level of bts as a band and their identity (past their individual identity as artists which is what the solo tracks focused on....it's like they all represented part of one universal story, but we got a glimpse of each of their individual journeys). That's why Idol is important after all of that = and it isn't just about accepting the idol label (bts always existed in a hybrid space between kpop and hiphop), they also celebrate their Korean identity - the song is full of references, traditional rhythms, phrases and instruments, and the video/song is purposefully loud

You are by far one of my favourite reactors. It's so clear that you have ton of love for music. You appreciate all artists, their music, lyricism and fans. Its hard to find a person that actually does reactions out of pure love for music rather than personal gain. I've been following you since you started your Little mix journey and watched your reactions to NF and now BTS. Those are some of my favourite artists that really impacted my life. I wish you would soon discover some new amazing talents as well. Not sure if you will notice this comment but i highly recommend Pentatonix (acapella group with mind-blowing arrangements - they won 3 grammys so that says a lot about their talent), Dimash Kudaibergen (possibly the best singer in the entire universe, his talent is just out of this world that people often say he is an alien - crazy range, singing styles, technique...)

You really should react to the explanation of Trivia : Love .. you'd be EVEN MOREEEEEE blown up ... The storyline of the songs.... How Save Me and I'm Fine has the totally opposite lyrics ... This album made me an Army💜 and I was literally blown up with their lyricism and storyline

Would like to thank the RU-vid recommended for leading me here! The love yourself series has such a special place in my heart, it’s so fun to see your reaction to everything, it feels like I’m reliving my favorite moments once more. Your analysis is really insightful! Thank you so much for this 💜💜💜

fun fact, they did play jungkook's euphoria in the tv show euphoria hah, i think in a season finale or something like that.

Adora sings the amazing background vocals in Trivia: Seesaw!! She was a producer at BigHit!!

This is my favorite part of my week thank you so muchhh

Please consider listening to the full album on Spotify (in your own time or on youtube hehe) ❤ You only reacted to the new songs from Love Yourself: Answer but the album also contains songs from the whole series (Tear and Her), including Jimin and V's solos (Full-length version of Serendipity and Singularity) as well as the full-length version of Epiphany and many more :) With its arrangement it creates a very comprehensive look of the journey to self love

this notification made me so happy 😭 i was waiting for this. can’t wait until you go all the way back in their discography and react to dark&wild. you will LOVE that album

Talk about Jims ballad vocals. That young man makes you FEEL what he is singing, just stunning. He recently did a solo for a KDrama (movie) and it is incredible. The mv where they use scenes from the movie just pulls at your heart. It's beautiful.

I read SO many comments and I don’t think I can add anything new but , I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your Album reviews With You! BORAHAE MB!

Idol, mikrocosmos, love myself are songs you should definitely see a live performance of :)💜

Im so so so thankfull i found you when you first reacted to them, its always such an amazing feeling when someone else puts into words exactly how you feel about something you care so deepy, every since you started the trilogy reaction i end up getting emotional halfway thru the videos because you just fucking get it, when you paused and just said that yoongi is such a special rapper and then againg when you kept repeating how much you love him makes it so clear how deeply they are making you feel, dont ever apologize for repeating a part (or like with ephipany the whole song) several times, just do it i promise its so nice to see you so engaged with the feelings of the song that you just have to feel them over and over... also i have a feel you are gonna make me cry with your YNWA video because that album is just... so much. AND LASTLY sorry huge comment, totally recomend you to watch the 2018 MMA performance of idol, you are completely right to think its an amazing choreo but also they use a mix of both african and korean instrumentals as well as traditional dances and thar performance highlights the beauty of bts embracing their identity as both artists and koreans.♡

I think you would LOVE Namjoon’s deep dives about their albums. He goes through every song in the albums and gives us background information. On how they made to what they mean and anecdotes. I really think you would love that as well. The does those in vlive. I am not sure if that’s something you can react to in yt but I’m sure you can do that for patreon

You should check out the MV for Idol, you might enjoy the song a lot better then! (And an explained video for the MV cause it’s kind of intense). I loooove Epiphany!! Epiphany live is super powerful as well (btw, you didn’t get the full version by watching the comeback trailer). What’s so cool about the song is that he changes the lyrics from “I’m the one I should love” to “I want to love”. To me, THAT is the epiphany. It’s easy to love others, but how can you truly love others when you don’t even know how to love yourself. Jin sings about wanting to love in this world, wanting to experience and spread love to others. And the only way to properly do that, to properly accept and love others despite all of their faults, is to learn how to accept and love yourself with all of your faults. Truly beautiful

This is the third time I’m watching this video, Michael. I watched it twice two days ago, the day you posted, but I’ve had a really bad day today due to an incident that happened to me yesterday, and have been super stressed and upset all day. I’ve literally been watching BTS reaction videos for like 10 hrs straight now, including coming back to yours, because I wanted to end with the Love Yourself: Answer album. I started to feel better 2 hrs into my BTS marathon, just watching ppl discover how amazing BTS’ music and lyrics are, and I finally feel like I’m in a good place again. Thank you so much. I adore your BTS reactions; it’s amazing to see how much music affects you, and I love how you break down albums as complete works in and of themselves. I became an ARMY in 2019, 2 months before the Map of the Soul: Persona comeback, so actually I came in at the very tail end of the Love Yourself trilogy, and Idol was the very first song of theirs I heard (thru the MV), and I was immediately hooked by their aggressively affirmative statement of self-love and reclaiming of their identities. I’d been experiencing a period of bad mental health then, and they really did help me heal, both then and now. Now that I’ve taken the time during the pandemic to actually listen to all their albums in full rather than just watching their MVs, lives, dance practices, etc. of songs picked at random, and clips from their shows, BTS has come to mean even more to me. I’m excited for you to explore more of their discography, but particularly can’t wait for your reaction to the HYYH era! I Although I’m very excited for the You Never Walk Alone album for Spring Day, specifically. I absolutely want to see your reaction to Spring Day’s lyrics, music video, and the explanation video by ItalianArmy, but I know the MV and explanation video will probably wait because you want to get to know them by music alone first, which is a commendable standpoint to take. There’s so much I want to see: Hip Hop Lover, the Cypher series, Save Me+I’m Fine back to back, the Hope World mixtape, and so much more. I love all their albums, but I do find myself listening to HYYH pt 2 and Map of the Soul 7 most often out of all the albums! I am also very excited to see your reaction to their earlier work as well, given it is more hip hop heavy. Shit, I really am just excited for everything. I look forward to your future music explorations and breakdowns!

I LITERALLYYYYY have been waiting for this and I audibly screamed when I saw you posted this. So happy there’s a REAL reaction-RU-vidr who truly dives into BTS and their discography without looking for clout. Love you lots❤️❤️❤️

What do you get when you solve a Trivia? The Answer. And that answer is the EPIPHANY.

I just watched 2 BTS album reactions tonight, just let it run on my tv while I did some reading. I really enjoyed your calm reaction and thoughts. I love their music too, thanks for your hard work.

I felt a lot of the emotions I first felt when I first heard these songs and read these lyrics. It's been an immense pleasure going through that journey again, and it became even more fun because of your generous sharing of your thoughts and insights about the LY series. Thank you so much for listening to these albums! I appreciate reactors like you who put in a lot of effort and genuine emotional investment (lol! I am reminded of the turmoil I saw you go through with LY: Tear!) into BTS songs. 💜

Disapointed that you didn't get to hear the full version of epiphany :( you should've done the lyric video, you missed the lyrics, It's sooo beautiful! This song literaly saved/changed a lot of peoples' lives! Anyways, love your videos, really enjoyed hearing the love yourself series with you again, hope you enjoy the rest of the bts albums journey 💙
