Metal Vocalist - BTS The Truth Untold ( REACTION ) 

RM is the master of doing that with their songs. So when they have difficulty rhyming in Koreaan they will find a word in the opposing language. He actually talked about that in a Vlive. He truly is a genius. It is also why many want to emulate their songs but really can't.

💜FYI - this is how they conceptualised the song: They created a very old and sad story called, 'La Città di Smeraldo' that takes place in a small town in Italy ( in the 16th Century -1500's). The story's about an 'ugly' man who hid in an old castle alone, even though he was a gentle good person, because of his looks he received lots of hate & cruelty while growing up. He never opened his heart to anyone. Eventually if anyone tried to approach him, he hid in fear. So he became bitter and angry. His one happiness in life was to plant beautiful flowers in his walled off garden. One night a woman appeared near the man's castle. She jumped over the garden fence and collected some flowers. This angered the man at first. So he watched his garden all night. But when he fell asleep, the woman again collected more. This continued for several nights. The man pretended to be asleep and watched the woman. He started becoming curious about the woman. He began waiting for her. Without realizing he started waiting for her to come and each day began to seem a little brighter. Following after her one day he realized that due to terrible impoverishment she was selling the flowers that she took from him to try to make a living. The man falling in love so desperately wanted to help the woman. But he was afraid she would be terrified by the way he looks if he approached her. He 'knew' she would never be able love his 'grotesque' appearance. He came to a conclusion that the only way he would be able to help her is to keep himself hidden and let her continue taking flowers from his garden. The man decided to make a flower that doesn't exist anywhere on the planet. So that the woman could sell them at a expensive price. He began to create the flower in his castle. After many unsuccessful attempts, the man created the most beautiful of all flowers (The Smeraldo Flower) and filled his garden with these beautiful flowers. But the woman stopped coming. No matter how long he waited she never came back to his garden. He eventually found out that the woman had starved to death before he could give her the flower that would have saved her. If only he had been brave enough to approach her😭 You will see the Smeraldo flower references thoughout various MVs The Smeraldo flower symbolizes the sincerity that could not be delivered. The moral of the story, as interpreted by BTS, is that people are entrapped in the depths of misery and darkness due to a lack of self-love and confidence. The protagonist would have probably felt much better, had he talked to her and confronted his fears and insecurities. In addition, another aspect is the way people are affected by childhood trauma and dysfunctional families. The man was highly affected by his childhood trauma caused by nasty comments made by people.

Your instant smile when Jin comes on is very endearing to see. You can't fake that. Thank you for the reaction fellow ARMY 💜

Jimin was sick while singing this song. His throat in pain. So the members looking out for him. Thats why JK was watching him if to cover him if needed

People can throw BTS under the bus a million times, they can say whatever they want, but still they are on another league when it comes to music and personalities when singing. This is art and I'm here for it, not only for visuals or influencers or fanwars. Amen xD

I’m 58 and NOONE and I mean NOONE can affect my feelings thru music like BTS

During their Love Yourself Speak Yourself tour where they performed this song, Jimin got sick and his throat was so bad that he asked Jung Kook to take his lines if necessary. There is a video somewhere showing the audience singing Jimin's lines because they knew about the throat problem and Jimin cried. Another fancam (at still another concert in the same tour) showed Jin coughing after singing his lines. Also while performing this song, V was unable to sing and the audience was singing for him. That was a heck of a long tour. Anyway, thank you for reacting to this beautiful song, you always enhance my appreciation through your informed observations.

this song is my top song by the vocal line. it really showcases all their voices. they can tell a story through their voices, i get chills and some tears when I hear the song and watch the video. Jins voices is the one that really caught me, and that note by jimin with how he held it. I think this performance Jimin mentioned his throat hurting and wasn't sure if he would hit that last long note, but he did amazing!

thank you sm for Apperciation JK voice jungkook is the type of singer who can sing any song and Any type of songs his voice can work any genre of music the high the lowe register head voice breath singing versatil chest voice and Soft and his incredible breath control he sing so flawlessly live and acapella and he has prefect Pitch🔥💯💋 he is chef kiss💋💋💋💋💋💋💯

Jungkook's voice is so sweet and clear . And his singing technique is also high. But I personally like Jimin 's tone more , sweet and warm at the same time . I instantly recognize his voice in choruses even if they sing altogether. He is a little unstable compared to JK , just a tiny bit .

This is a haunting song that showcases all four vocalists beautifully. So good! 🥹 I love Jungkook’s lower register too. It’s one of the reasons why I have a soft spot for his covers. Examples include If You, Falling, Sofa and Arirang (a medley of a Korean folk song performed at KCON 2016; BTS sings most of it but a few other groups perform the outro).

Actually about jk's adlibs they're in the original song when jin and jimin do the last verses he's harmonizing with them. So he didn't just try them before the live performance it's already how the song is maid

Jiminie was sick here 🥺 you should listen to their other live performances to hear jimins voice when he isn’t sick, but he is incredible! ❤️

One of my favorite vocal line songs! And you're right, there is a story here: A disfigured man lives isolated in a huge mansion, wearing a mask to hide his face. His passion is growing beautiful flowers. He notices that a young girl sneaks into his garden and steals flowers. Fascinated he follows her and finds out that she sells them to survive. He's afraid to approach her because he's disfigured so he decides to grow a specially beautiful flower in her image that can make her rich but when he finally succeeds he finds out that it's too late; she has passed away. Deduce your own moral from it... 🤷‍♀️ Interesting fact: Jimin actually had a sore throat during this performance(s) and was singing through the pain. Later Jungkook had to cover his part and did so brilliantly. Fun fact: There are two short clips worth looking up for this: JK (unsuccesfully) trying to mask his laugh as him tearing up when Jin's voice cracked, and Jin and JK laughing and forgetting to sing when V's voice cracked. 😆😂 (Props to Meg for the opera clips 😂👍)

Every member of BTS has a unique voice n are wonderful singers. Just as you mentioned I also feel JK 's is so clean n clear whatever pitch he sings with. He is an amazing singer thats why he is my bias 😁

This is the song that brought me to BTS, I first heard it travelling to work with my daughter in her car right at the start of the pandemic, for some reason it just spoke to me and I have no reason why, I find it very haunting and beautiful. I had to find out who it was who was singing it and because i felt sad, lonely an having depression i had to find out what other works they did. I didn't know who BTS was..... I am so glad i found them they have raised me up out of some very low points with there songs, vids, skits, concert vids... Sorry I'll stop now i b rambling... Thanks 4 this loved it 💜🎶💜💯💖

This song has so many "twists and turns" that makes it so gripping especially in their live stage performance. JK's clear voice is so haunting for sure!! My favorite part, that I now always wait for, is (around 9:48 of your vid) after Jimin lulled me into thinking the song is gonna stay on that high sweet spot, V suddenly came in and hit me with a darker tone or "color". The first time I heard it, I swear it felt like I got hit by a truck. I don't know whether this makes sense, but I don't know how else to describe the feeling. BTS has the best vocal line EVER, BY FAR FAR, for real.

to think they improved vocally after this...just IMMAGINE THE SINGING IT NOW...GOOSEBMPS..APOBANGPO💙💕🖤❤🧡💚💜

I would not have thought it was possible for them to surpass their previous work but they do if all the time!

The story for this song, I had always been told was based on an Italian fairytale similar to Beauty and the Beast. (Except Belle dies at the end) But someone posted on a reaction recently that it was a fairytale that Big Hit made up, so I don’t know which is true. What I do know is that this song is about regret. The deformed man hiding inside his castle (metaphorical and literal) watching the girl he loves steal the flowers that he grew for her, wishing he could go to her and tell her how he feels, but too afraid because of his perceived ugliness. Then she doesn’t come back and he learns that she died and realizes that it is too late. His opportunity to tell her the truth is gone forever and she will never know. Jin sings, “If I had had the courage then to stand in front of you, would things be different now?” So the moral of the story is obviously to be brave enough to be yourself because if you don’t you might regret it for the rest of your life.

That soulful voice, my tigerbear Taehyungie... Even saved his laughing voice and play it with all BTS and Tae's songs.... It heals the soul you know, makes you calm and think of what he always say, be happy always💜💜💜

When I first heard this song, I was in my car on my way home from work, so I had no access to lyrics or anything. But the emotion of the song got me immediately, and when that "but I still want you" hit... omg tears down my face, no idea what it is I'm crying at just the melancholy of it all

I can't forget when Teahyung cry when he was perfoming this song breaks my heart and jimin throat was not feeling good🥺💯 but they all did prefect on their vocalis they are amazing💕💋❤

Oh i remember there is this one performance of the truth untold where Jin got his voice cracked Jungkook couldn't get a hold but to laugh but because they're in the middle of that performance and it's an emotional song, he acted emotionally as if crying, they're both holding their laughter and it's hilarious. that's the unserious The Truth Untold performance ever 😂 Link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mDhkz3P-ojM.html Another angle: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5McjVYnbpA0.html

Dude, this is one of my favorites. Beautiful from start to finish 💜

The way the vocal line can vocally emot is so moving. Like they know how to vocally make you FEEL what the lyrics are saying

Everyone kills in the live performance, but god, Jungkook's part, and his ad libs are just something else

I adore this song. The vocal line always plays off each other's voices like magic.

The first time I heard this song, I felt like I want to cry. It's painful yet so beautiful and they way the vocal line elevate the emotion of the song in their live performance is so incredible!

My favorite vocal line song from BTS. So haunting beautiful! So glad you reacted to it.

BTS members' voices are unique and very beautiful...they have their own characteristics that make their singing perfect...!!! Amazing 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

This song was the first song I heard from BTS and I immediately got hooked !

This song really showcased the vocal line's singing skills especially live 💜

Lyrically speaking, they are absolute POETS..!!! The things they comunicate are so profound and beautiful..... Even when saying sad or painful things, like Jimin's lines "doing nothing but hiding because I'm HIDEOUS".... Back in the time he was called out for being fat and ugly and that stroke hard on on him back then..... They didn't know that he IS one of the most beautiful creatures on earth, such a kind and giving soul.... 💜💜Love them all💜💜 #ARMYBOTS FOREVER😎🤟🏻

Love this song, studio and live, love the music, the emotion, the voices, the story. V😂😂😂 yes the wild card, that's why he's been working on his album for like, 3 years.. He himself can't decide.. Sadly (could have done 3 albums by then, sing every he wants to sing..)

Thank you Meg for finally putting this on Johns reaction calendar! Great reaction John! All four of their voices really shine. I absolutely love this song. When V starts to sing I get chills. But by the time Jin starts singing my heart completely fills with emotion and I start crying. Then all of them taking turns and harmonizing. I can’t turn off the emotion faucet. They sound so beautiful. And yes RM mentioned one time he mixes the languages when he is looking for lyrics to rhyme and flow and it doesn’t work in Korean. Thankfully he is fluent in several languages. You will notice it more when you get further into their discography. 💜

They didn't use V enough in this song, his voice is so beautiful.

They alternate languages all the time - always have! Another example of RM’s brilliance💕

There is a video of them trying to perform this and Jimin was really bad sick that day and he tried his best but his voice kept cutting out (had a bad sore throat). He just busted out crying about the same time the individual tiers they were standing on staring going up at different levels. JK immediately stepped in and began singing Jimins part too. As soon as they were lowered back down JK stepped over to Jimin and remained there with his arm around Jimin for the remainder of the song. Felt so bad for him

I Love this Song so much 💜💜💜💜 JK voice 💜💜💜💜👑

I noticed the rhyming thing the first time I heard this song too. I think that is a huge part of why it’s so easy for us to understand the meaning with only a few English words. You feel connected the whole time. Ty

I’ve watched this song sung by the guys 4 times. I ended on your video breakdown. It was so insightful and I agree with all you said. That song makes me cry, even though it’s so beautiful. 💜

I'm super excited to see your reaction to this!!! This is my ALL time favorite song, not just by them. It's sadly beautiful!

They performed this in Vegas and I was there to hear it!!! I was on the 2nd row and they look as beautiful in real life as they sing! Filmed the entire thing!

This is the best from vocal line. What a beautiful song and masterful interpretation

That is why I like the BTS songs so much. The placements of the English words is just perfect in their songs.

The vocal line is absolutely incredible!!!! I get chills every time I hear this song. 💜

This is one of my favorites too! And I agree 100%, V should do some opera songs!!! He definitely has the voice and lungs for it!!!!!

Please check Louder than bombs …… their voices just incredibly amazing

OMG that last video..!!!😂😂😂😂 When Suga had to take the mic 🎙️ from V to make him stop..!!! It cracked me up!!😂😂😂 #ARMYBOTS FOREVER😎🤟🏻

BTS ❤️❤️. I get goosebumps whenever i listen to their songs..

Such a beautiful song. V’s voice in the beginning is so emotional, JK’s awesome voice and his ad libs really decorates Jin’s voice and Jimin’s voice. The arrangement is genius. Thanks for an excellent review. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜. This vocal line is the pinnacle of talent, I am a JK bias.

One of my favorite Vocal line song.

You have to react to House of Cards as well. It's another vocal line masterpiece 💜💜💜

I just want to say that I found it incredible that Jin performed The Truth Untold back to back with Epiphany which are both vocally heavy 💜

Meg is awesome, love that you added Opera V and John I loved your comment about V being a wild card in their solo projects, I love his voice so much, it’s really calming, he even can calm crying babies, he wrote a song called Winter Bear unfortunately it’s one he gifted to Army on SoundCloud, so many great songs the guys have written and gifted to Army are on SoundCloud only, so I can add them to my playlist, but I was able to find Winter Bear that someone made a podcast just the song, someone did the same with JK’s still with you, on Spotify, used Apple Music for sooooo long, but switched to Spotify because of both their songs, would love if Meg could put together Winter Bear for you to react Loved the reaction to all the vocal lines voices on this song, as always, spot on

JIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIN 👑 #BTS

It's part of the BU. The esmeraldo flower.

Yup Joon is genius. Can you imagine not being able to be authentic. How painful. Fake Love!

Oh man this song is one of my all time favorites and the story behind it, man its so good. If you look up smeraldo flower story it's worth reading

It’s one of my favorite song from BTS. I cry every time I listen to this song.💜

Sang beautifuly with full of emotions. This is my favorite vocal line song, and "Tear" for the rapline. BTS are so good in lyricism and best live performer.

Great reaction as always! Hopefully Meg has House of cards down as well! Borahae 💜

This is my fave vocal line song ever 💜

This is probably my favorite BTS song. We actually get to hear all of their lower registers and that really makes it stand out from most of their other works. I'm so completely in love with JK's voice here. He did an episode of the masked singer and really showcases his range and emotion. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tcEvm93l_A4.html Anyway, thanks for another wonderful reaction, commentary, music breakdown. I always enjoy your videos. 💜💜💜Borahae💜💜💜💜

This is my favorite Vocal line song 😍😍😍 I love it when you're really focusing on reacting to the video. You see all the details and your reactions became more deep and meaningful to listen to. Borahae! 💜💜💜

I love this song...'but I still want you'...takes my breath away...

V the fricking Tenor 🔥🔥🔥🤚👌

You should check out "let me know". It's the vocal line and it's wonderful

This song was produced by Steve Aoki & is so so different from Mic Drop. This is a tour de force by the vocal line.

the first time I saw this song I watched with the lyrics translations and cried my eyes out. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

one thing for Sure 😊 V is versatile Singer 💜🥰🫶 Im so excited for his SOLO Debut Album ❤

Jin💜😍🥰😘

Please notice Jin is so on point that it brings life to the other voices and is so smooth that he is overlooked. 😢 Sometimes I really have to listen to Figure Jin from jk. Yes, they are different talents, however, Jin has learned to blend >>perfectly>> smooth>>beautiful or >>stand-alone >>Awesomeness ❤

BEAUTIFUL!!!

Wow!!! Never seen V singing opera. I never knew his Barritone could go this far. Really, this was a nice surprise.

Songs can be interpreted in so many ways, but this is a hauntingly beautiful song. I am blown away. I can’t help but relate it to the pain some of the Asian entertainers who have in-alived themselves may have felt. I pray these boys and all entertainers find people who will love and support them for who they are with no masks on… and who they feel comfortable being totally themselves around. Peace and love from Texas.

I love this song so much! It is so beautiful & I love how it really shows their individual vocal strengths. And I also love Jungkook’s lower register. For some reason K-Pop is obsessed with high notes. PDogg one of their main producers loves the high notes, the members have talked about it before. I’m hoping he will use his lower register more in his solo album.

The story behind the truth untold us extremely… sad. I’m sure someone will explain it in depth, but I won’t type it because I’ll end up crying. The epitome story of loneliness. The vocal line does an amazing job portraying this song’s emotions. Poor Jimin was sick during a section of the tour, but still managed to pull off bonus high notes in this song. The Truth Untold is one of the best vocal songs from them, and always makes army cry. Btw the audacity they had to have Jin perform Epiphany, just for the vocalists to come out and do The Truth Untold after. I can’t imagine the emotions in the crowd Edit: the do the rhyme thing a lot actually, and I always thought it was so impressive to be able to do that. Just the thought of how effortlessly they can switch between languages flawlessly is amazing

Una de mis favoritas de la vocal line! Impresionante!! Muchas gracias 🙏 ❤️💜🇦🇷😘

Just clean, emotional performances from all 4 of the vocal line. To me, my interpretation is that the song is saying they would like to have intimacy, to touch, laugh, kiss, have romance & closeness like normal people & they are tempted often (of course they are, they are human beings) but they can't. Because of the K-pop "No dating rules" and to avoide scandal and not to hurt ARMY'S, but they still want it. Still have wanted people in their lives. The performances are all so beautiful in their own ways. Pouring their hearts into it.

Four of them are amazing. V still has the time to make everyone laugh despite the difficult song and vocals they did. Love love them s much.

Thank you for your very thoughtful reactions. I love the detail of listening to the lyrics and then the lives. Borahae!

God, they sing beautifully!

This song and lyrics are absolute amazing 💜 and yes, V is thar wild card. 😂

I just love this son so much, especially live!! ☺💜💜

One of my fav song. Jungkook's voice, adlibs and harmonies is so beautiful 😭

You should definitely watch them singing Truth untold capella version, it's even more haunting and beautiful

You know what im gonna subscribe now because of that last part where my tigerbear, my Taehyungie is belting and see your face and laugh cutely😂 i think you are the 2nd in my notif now on reactors of BTS together with Colombian cousins and their wives... I like watching genuine reaction.... I hope it will not the same with others who are just using BTS for subscribers, likes and comments and after that they talk back shits on BTS in the end.... Im forever with BTS💜💜💜

JK's voice is so clear.

Ok here we go. Almost all of the mv have a dance practice video as well. It's always good to watch both together. The choreography is something they practice nearly to death so it deserves respect and they are amazing! Some of my favorites are the DANGER DANCE PRACTICE VIDEO (a must), BLACK SWAN, DOPE, ON KINETIC MANIFESTO, BLOOD SWEAT AND TESRS. Then there is STIGMA by V, EUPHORIA LIVE IN CONCERT AT WEMBLY by JK, SERENDIPITY by Jimin live at Wembly , LIE by Jimin (in concert) and FILTER live(and yes he really does change clothes that fast). JIMINS BEHIND THE SCENES BLACK SWAN SOLO is amazing as well. They practically invented synchronization so dance practices are amazing to watch. They even have some dressed in Halloween costumes! All this should keep you busy for a couple of days. So excited to see your reactions to the dances! I am new to your channel and liking what I have seen so far. BTS I am there! (By the way your kinda hot)

Great reaction...You will also like House of Cards which is another master piece of BTS vocal line. 💜

I really want V to cover an Elvis Presley song. He loves Elvis and I think V could destroy In the Ghetto & Love Me Tender.

Jin's voice hits that sweet spot between pain and pleasure.

This song is based on the Italian short folk story called Le Citta De Smeraldo (although some fans also believe that the story was made up by BigHit specially for this song) means The city of smeraldo (its a flower). The story is based on a grotesque looking man who lives in his castle and closes off himself to any kind of love. One day he sees a poor girl in rags enter his garden and steal his flowers. He's furious at first but continues to watch her as she comes and steals everynight and begins to anticipate her visits. He wears his mask and follows her to find out she's sick and makes money by selling his flowers, so in a mission to help her he decides to grow a unique and beautiful flower that she could sell for an expensive price. He does not have courage to speak to her so he continues growing flowers for her to steal while trying to find a way to make the unique flower. But eventually she stops coming. He waits for a long time and then goes to the village only to find out she died. It's here that Jin's lines are important "if only I had the courage, would everything be different now" The entire song itself talks about wearing masks as a way of protecting oneself from societal ideals and also from yourself. It forms a major part of their Love Yourself series because it talks about self-love and the courage that comes with it.

I appreciate you showing/reacting to the 3 different performances … 1st + 3rd were new to me. The 2nd, of course, I’ve watched at least a dozen times and am moved by it every time … like you were, Christian! It’s so beautiful and as a live performance, unmatched. Thanks for sharing your perspective. 👍🏼

It's from the sixth book of the Wizard of Oz,The Emerald City...this was in some notes during a translation of the lyrics. Never read that,but have 'the Annotation of the W Of Oz' book and doing a search to see what's up.

Watching this live performance and thinking back to yesterday's Rise of Bangtan episodes. It's so crazy to think that Jimin used to be so insecure about his singing. His voice is so unique and beautiful! (Also, shout out to Meg for including V's opera compilation. 😂💜)

dude i thought you had reacted to this before. regardless, i always enjoy your take on it. love how respectful you are with the pauses😊

Your reaction didn't disappoint. This is one of my favorite songs.
