if you want to know my thoughts on the comments section of this video, you can read this here: twitter.com/stochie/status/1700979863761604728 i'm not about to argue with y'all in the comments bc yall are assuming i am assuming someones sexuality, when I never said that. 💜
I feel for you all, society only pats you on the back and praises you for literally everything and nothing , so you don't know how to feel or take criticism anymore. I hope you all can take a longer look at yourselves and realize the common pattern of toxic behavior that you all share. Take care
@@PurpleFlowerwork yall arent giving him criticism yall are being homophobic thats not the same thing. also why would there be criticism over a interpretation/opinion. he never said its fact he said its his interpretation which cant be wrong or bad. just admit you hate gay people and leave cause yall arent about to make him think he did or said something wrong when he knows and we know he didnt.
Fyi, most of the cast in the Slow Dancing MV are LGBTQI, if you get time look them up. Just saying. 🌈. The obligatory 'girl' part in the lyric keeps the company happy. Noticed how he did not 'slow dance' with any 'girl'? Also of interest, the company Hybe didn't allow him to publish 2 more songs which were supposed to have been a part of the album. They were titled "Sinner" & "Your Eyes Tell". So yeah I would say that your intuition about the vibe of this MV is fairly accurate. Love is love 💕.
Glad to see that i wasn't the only one thinking that this mv was so queer coded, it's giving Call me by your name, i love it.. my favorite is For us, i'm just obsessed
How is it far away from Kpop music when kpop literally means music that is popular in Korea and R&B (Soul) is one ofthe most popular genres in Korea? You mean far from idol music
@@PurpleFlowerwork I said KPOP which is dominated by noise construction music. I was not talking abt korean general music. I hope u understand that. It's clear KPOP. Tell me any album which have all r&b tracks.
Taehyung is different from everyone and from K-Pop. He is very special. He loves music. It is a true art. It is amazing. So everyone is waiting for songs that are a masterpiece.🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
The whole theme of the album is about “longing” which we all can relate to at one time or another n our lives. I am glad he stayed true to himself and not go with what is viral at the moment. I love him more for that.
Si no quiso hacer algo común y fácil, lo hace todo delicado e implícito, cada cual lo interpreta como quiera....V por eso es diferente y lo sigo... bueno es al único que sigo....que triunfe y gane sería un premio para él...por todo su esfuerzo y creatividad....V
I agree with you. It is a very queen code Reminded me of Call me by your name (Tae's Fav movie), and also every single "friend " in slow dancing MV is queer. I am so happy that he found his voice and is happy and free. My ult bias, the love of my life. I root for him always. And this album is my Fav of ALL time.
@@Aku-ut8mn who knows if they are…just saying the video I’d queer coded….meaning….many things in the video are queer and/or supportive of the queer community…..it’s also and incredibly diverse group of people! I believe his “friends” make up his personality or a piece of him. Maybe …maybe not…
@@MmmDdd-o1tI think it’s hilarious how dismissive you are about it being cmbyn inspired (Taehyung loves that movie it wouldn’t be a surprise that he took inspiration from it) but you’re adamant it’s based on Where the Wild Things are bc he wore a crown near the end 🤨
TAEHYUNG's voice.. like BUTTER... SO SMOOTH, it melts you. You just want to put the earphones on, turn it up and get lost in his voice, then the flute.. OMG. What an eargasm.. WOW❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your honest reaction to the elephant in the room! this MV is so queer coded from the first 15 seconds! It is beautiful and I appreciate the diversity😊
I get the same vibes from the MV as you do, Landon! Starting from the very first seconds of it. Surrounded by men in water? Come on😅 i love you, TaeTae💜
to me, is a progressive narrative: it starts waking up on a Rainy Day, all full of memories, he tries to distract himself it don't work, so... Blue then he whimpers inside the cave of his 💜 unconformed with non-reciprocal love, very lonely then he creates a sunny and multicolored world as a scape from his reality and there are several friends wearing crowns because everyone is himself in his illusion of adventures and fun finally, he asks "please, let me tell you something before this layoVer time is over, come soon"
agree with you on the queer coding in the mv, landon. to me, it felt like a mix between peter pan & cmbyn. these were the first things i noticed when i watched it. i only caught on to the actual story on my second watch. to the homophobes in the comments, let queer people have our conversations. we’re not assuming his sexuality, just commenting on how we felt about the mv. to the delusional shippers making conspiracy theories in the comments, check yourselves. you’re not one of us. in fact, most of you are extremely disrespectful towards the queer community.
I think it seems like he is trying to create an ideal world where he can be with his lover, make it right so that they can be together, but in the end it's just a fantasy he created and not real life.
Which one is his lover? He was seen enjoying his time with so many people in the made up world (all of them are queer performers from Spain). The only person who was dancing with him alone was the tattoed guy with the hat. So who is the lover? I'm just asking because I'm curious as to what made you think that.
The polaroid (if you look carefully, in the pic it's all him) (unless my eyes are deceiving me) made me think that all this stuff is just in his head, or like he's created his own little world. I hope I made sense. I loved it, the MV and the song. I love the album as a whole. It was soothing and just chill.
I listened to all the songs this morning. It was really soothing. Caution, if you are going through a heartbreak...this will make you cry. But it was a cool slow jam, easy in the ears.
Kim Taehyung broke all the stereo types of a Kpop artist. Very true and sincere to his songs, he really slayed all the songs in all his live performances.
I agree with everything you said, this mv was as fruity as you can get, with literal fruit in the video, to hell with subtlety! 🤣 I love the dancing in it too, such carefree and happy vibes 🥹💜
The slow dancing video feels totally like a dream. That's why it ends up with him at home alone with his dog (although we know that one was Tannie's clon, I think his name was Rocky).
I like that you are not afraid and do not care and say your opinion with complete honesty. Yes, everyone knows that Taehyung is the biggest supporter of the gay community and that he is gay, but some people are homophobic and have phobias 🤣🌈🌈🌈
I LOVED your interpretation of the video, I also thought it was VERY queer coded when I first watched it, so I don't think you are reading too much into it at all
omg the minor chords at the end instrumental (For us) are beautiful (minor notes are my favorite in songs) and each time that minor chord is played it reminds me of the beautiful music/chords in Eastwood's Bridges of Madison County movie (excellent true story movie)
I hope more people buy his album I have never heard an album where all the songs were equally good and his mixture of KPop, jazz, and R&B is music that can last a lifetime❤️😎
This album is simply gorgeous. His voice is perfect for this r&b vibe. It's truly a feast for the ears while the music videos are a feast for the eyes (thanks in no small part to his insane good looks) but also the editing, the cinematography, overall aesthetic, etc. No skips on this EP.
Landon I agree with you about the video theme🏳🌈 I though that too and I wished a little kiss or hugs :D I know I am delulu but still I wanted to see something like that😢 😆
I am in absolute love with this album. After the first time I heard it start to finish it last night I was speechless. I think even with the word 'girl' used it's used loosely because of how strong the video was speaking with images, they balanced it out. I think Taehyung said during the flute and piano breakdown is going to be 'freestyle'' dance and I cannot wait. Always love your videos and CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING YOUR JOB!!!
loved your review. what i got from the video is tae is creating his idyllic world. my "proof" is the polaroid he took was all images of himself instead of his friends, he has a for lack of a better word, "lab" where he's creating the world and the scene where he is dancing in the lab and its showing that computer generated picture of him the dance moves. then it intercuts with actual scenes of him dancing the same kind of moves he was doing in his lab. so maybe all the friends in the video are different sides of himself? i have no idea, but its beautiful and such a vibe. love the whole album
I love the album as a whole - I thought Love Me Again & Rainy Days were ok, but didn't really grab me & weren't quite as jazzy as I'd hoped his album would be, so I was a bit worried I wasn't going to enjoy it as much, despite it being the solo work I was most interested in & looking forward to. But the other tracks def make up for that- loving the jazzy flute/piano breaks in Slow Dancing, and For Us is my favourite - but why did it make me cry watching this? If TaeTae really got his heart broken, I hope he's got over it now, with help from Tannie of course!☺🥰 Loved your reaction as always Landon, you do make me laugh & smile - and Congrats on getting the job! 🥳Was that the one you shared about going to the interview for? You're going to be busy busy tryin to fit everything in from now on...tho maybe we'll have a little break before Jk's album this Autumn? (haha...what am I talking bout - this is the non-stop hiatus! 🤪).Take care & love from across the pond 💜
I love you being so caught up in the gay coating of the video that you actually miss what the actual story of the video (and I mean that in the best way) when I say I love it, I mean I actually love it cuz the story is he's obviously still sad from rainy days. He's envious and wants friends and the scenarios made up in his head like he takes the picture with his friends and if you look at the Polaroid they're all him there's a model of the road that he's driving down all these scenarios are made up in his head because he's lonely. He's a scientist making models like he was in rainy days and at the end you see the van that he was in drive by his apartment while he's sitting there with Tan but his fantasy or friends could also be queercoded both can be true at the same at the same time
It’s like he’s dreaming of society being more accepting, understanding but he feels alone because of the backlash he would get, so his dog had a stand in during rainy days, maybe his love has one too in this vid, 😉 tattooed sleeve! Just my opinion 🥰 I hope they can live in freedom openly.
@@rubbingminds Queer encompasses all the other LGBTQIA+ community, gay and lesbian are two extremes on the sexuality spectrum but there are many things in-between and outside of it. But the video clearly shows these are all parts of himself. There is masculinity and femininity in everyone, so having both men and women there only makes sense because they're all aspects of himself.
This whole album is a masterpiece! Not even one piece of pop corn on that album, so refreshing! Tae's creativity is on another level. You don't come across concepts like that, music like that, and voice like that in pop industry often at all. Each time I listen to his songs I get something different out of them. This is the kind of music that may not have the immediate mass appeal but actually has staying power.🎉🎉🎉
NO!!! You CAN"T stop doing these videos Landon! You are seriously the best, I don't understand why you don't have more likes, etc....you're the funniest around...and I swear you could write or be on SNL
I love your reaction on Slow Dancing MV cause I agree with you 100%. I mean, the first time we get to see the black and white beach photos before the MV came out, just that is giving me gay vibes. shoot me that's my feeling. I love it. I love it love it love it love it.
Hate that the comment section turned into discussing sexuality! 😒 Like seriously. Please listen and enjoy his music everyone, we don't need to speculate EVERY aspect of their life. Not our business! Anyways, stream Layover!!
omfg Landon. I am laughing so hard out loud, you with the "Texas Chain Saw Massacre"...you are so damn funny. Seriously DOUBT that was Vs intention for viewers, still laughing so hard can barely type,.lol
Slow Dancing is very Queer coded. All the model/dancers are LGBTQIA+ He didn't write the lyrics, so the "GIRL" not him. And totally goes against the vibe of the video. It's also the only Gender pronoun used on the entire album. I'm just sayin, maybe our boy has something to say LOWKEY, and I'm 💯 for it.
For me, it's a toss up between Slow Dancing and For Us...but def an album that calls for a glass of wine (or two) and just curling up by a fire and letting it soak in...
Agree with the gay coded Slow Dancing MV. I think "girl" was just used because it sounded right. But we know that Tae fully supports LGBTQ+. You can see it in his clothes, jewelry, music choice, etc. But truly loving this album! It's baby making music for sure! A lot of Armies are now preggers! The fruity fruits were a subtle sign, I think.Tae said this album really is represents him the real him (wink). If you look closely - it seems like he is creating the whole world. A world that hie wishes to be real. Then at the end - in the real world it's just him and Tannie.
Girl what? You can see it in his MUSIC taste?!? Jazz and R&B come from black culture, it has nothing to do with that lol. Secondly, You are implying that straight men and gay men have to dress a certain way with your "You can see it in his clothes" statement. Pls love yourself, BTS has been telling ya'll needy mf to do that for the last 11 years, but you are still looking for validation wherever you can get it.
@@PurpleFlowerwork Seems you need to know more about Tae. Yes in his music choice - I meant singers and he follows a lot of singers, but also singers that are openly gay (Troye Sivan). And supporters of LGBTQ - Lady Gaga, Harry Styles. As to clothes - he has worn items designed, created by those who are gay as well or who create gender neutral styles. Nothing wrong with him supporting LGBTQ+ - is there?
Love your reaction..and please ignore those whose opinions contradict yours and keep talking s#%*..keep doing what you’re doing..love it and totally agree with you..💚💜💚💜🧘♀️
Totally agree with you! There’s definitely some nods to queer coding. When you listened to ‘for us’ did you notice the written lyrics say ‘ I need to let you know that’ but if you listen closely he sings ‘ I need to let him know that’ or am I just imagining it? Also did you notice the ‘jk lookalikey’ slow dancing with tae? The flower eating person has its connotations too. If you notice the 6 people in the van when photographed are all Taehyung. Is this his various sides/ colours?
ok, on i wish i could stay with you....I think that's HIM in the beginning opening, just at a high speed..can't find anywhere that confirms it, but obviously they have the music shifting in an odd sounding way then it's his strong, normal V voice...
Tbf with the ‘girl’…. I wish they hadn’t put it in bc it kinda throws me off, BUT I have a theory they do it bc they like flirting w the majority female fanbase, and idk I agree the video is totally queer coded so maybe hybe wanted to balance skdjdkks. Tae didn’t write the songs tho I’m sure he had a hand, and girl has always traditionally be used as just kinda,, part of the rhythm when singing, especially in rnb which is clearly the project hes explored here (which suits him sooo much.) So overall I still don’t think Tae himself put this album out to definitively be interpreted as a love story boy with girl! But certain armys will be narrow minded no matter
Does the basic aspect of art has to be explain over and over again in the kpop world? Is the kpop world that unsophisticated and that uneducated and that unintelligent? Being able to cope with only concrete thinking and abstract thinking sent it into a tailspin of rage? He is sharing his interpretation of the music video. He is commenting on the presentations of the visuals. Hr is talking about the stories shown. The characters in the video. He isn’t commenting on anyone’s sexuality. And no, you can no SEE someone’s sexuality as as you can not SEE if someone is an immigrant. Anyone can support a community without being part of it. I am not saying Tae is or not I don’t know him. And guess what? I don’t care either way. On the one hand you have all these kpop critics talking confusing genres of music with the quality of music saying it is their personal opinion that the music isn’t good after they said the genre isn’t for them. Now this. No wonder you are the joke of the whole world! Sorry to the creator of this video. That’s the end of my rant about some of the comments that I see. THANKS FOR YOUR REACTION ❤
Slow dancing music video is very telling...the reality is NOT the imagery on the beach, thats the manufactured worldscape found in his mind...take another look at the polaroid pic. Also look at the daisies...the crown...gay coded for real, Taekook specifically
The mv is inspired by "where the wild things are". A book for children. It's not queer coded and you didn't eveb say why you think so. It's like just because you're a queer, you want everyone to be the same
***** Goin' all West Hollywood on Us? These are All Sweet Tunes. It's hard to say this, but none of these are gonna' get massive Airplay like "SEVEN". TROY? Have you seen His new MV, "RUSH"? He & JK are iboth Nominated for *SONG of the SUMMER" for the Video Music Awards.
Yes, Tae music is not comercial music and for that we love it. We don't want always the same. This is refreshing, different and this has his vibes and style, so BB or not, this album is something else.
You're right, it won't get "Massive" airplay like the commercial SEVEN because the company and scooter is massively pushing SEVEN cuz They invested heavily in it and hopefully, it wins Grammy.. But Tae's Layover is sooooo perfect that every song on the album is Relatable so every lover of good Music will appreciate it . Tae makes beautiful timeless masterpieces not TikTok commercial songs
Hi! Can you give a reaction to the Pre-Release MV 'LEMONADE' from boy group XODIAC. The song made me addicted and there are elements of Latin music. I hope you see it. Thank You!
I support lgbt+ but we do not know their sexuality, if they are gay or not I don't have problem with that but id they haven't said anything its wrong to assume whether they are gay or straight, its wrong impose any sexuality we think is right for them , We ARMYs respect their descision on anything...
The pronoun was the ONLY one in the playlist...and slow dancing is the title track, sooooo 😜 The song For Us...well, Taekookers know, lol. "Call before its to late..." time zone"
something being queercoded doesn't mean taehyung himself is queer necessarily :) please don't compare shippers to a queer person analyzing a video that is clearly queercoded. they are not the same thing. taehyung would not be offended by someone interpreting this video in that way even if that is not at all what he was going for.
as someone who speaks to him literally every day, i Promise that is not what is going on here. please just let queer people have conversations about queer things :) no one ever gets upset when something is interpreted as straight but when it's queer now it's something awful that cannot be talked about!
@@emilysnicketvanilla we can agree to disagree. It’s not our job as fans to discuss his sexuality. We should know boundaries. Taking comfort from art is very different from projecting.
@@midniteamasque all i ask is you start commenting this on anything that implies taehyung being with a girl then as well if you don't already because that is also discussion of his sexuality :) but truly, pointing out things that seem queer in an MV where tae is playing a character is not the same as making a deep dive on tae's actual irl sexuality bc i'd definitely agree with you that the latter would super be crossing boundaries to make attempts to out him bc i also agree it's none of our business!
Respectfully, why do gay people need literally everything to be about them? It's the attention-seeking behavior, it's the "Pick me" mentality, and the OCD with male ships. Please stop taking your personal fantasies and pretending it is a reality for BTS. It is not their job to cater to you in that way. Jin literally said it in the nicest way possible. When the interviewer said that ARMY wanted Jin to kiss a member on the cheek and he should do it because of that, Jin said, "Must I do everything fans want, I won't!". I hope some respectful ARMYs will react without making up their own scenarios.
Yess, that's what I'm talking about, I mean he said it clearly gitl he could absolutely say boy don't tell because its suite with the lyrics nahh, i mean he already says he wanna children what the wrong with people
Respectfully, art is open to interpretation based on someone’s personal experiences. That is why I said what I said at 19:18. If you don’t like it… you don’t have to be here. I don’t know if you know this, but Tae is also an actor and I said the video was queer coded, not that he was gay. Feel free to take the homophobia and see yourself out 😘
