It's not about liking one person. It's more about giving yourself to temptation. It's very biblical. Jin is making a contract with the devil, by kissing him. This mv had a lot to do with the book Demian by this German guy, named Hesse, you're right!
V's bare tummy & Suga's tongue technology yes. I’ve read the book before. And if you look at the Wings photo shoot. You see Jimin w apples and in the book is a character that Jimin is supposed to be. The book explains who/ what character r. And about “Sweeter that sweet, chocolate cheeks and chocolate weeks” that part comes in the books.
V's bare tummy & Suga's tongue technology I was gonna explain this but you got it, the devil is known as a tempter , and the devil is the "bad" or forbidden things that humans do in life
BTS has stated many times that their Wings concept is based on youth/boys falling into temptation and losing their innocence. This is a good continuation of their overarching concept of youth; their previous era, The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, is centered around the idea of a reckless and carefree youth that leads to growing up and falling into temptation (you can see this in the I Need U and Run videos). we saw the boys at the prime of their free-spirited youth and hints of their downfall. interpretation of the different ways adulthood tempted. It has biblical and mythological refferences of good and evil
The guy with the glasses was getting so into the video and as an fan of BTS, it was really nice to see someone genuinely interested in the video and the storyline.
OKAY tinashe is he army? Coz he is spot on about demian theory coz its been confirmed that BST and whole wings short film got inspired with demian book.
s92 honestly though. The whole fandom is about to be hella shook. Flirtaus is coming out with a new au and Twitter is going to literally break. After all, last time we were on top of trending for like 5 days straight. Any new ARMY are going to be so lost tbh 😂
You need to watch, the making of this mv! Also on top of the mirror, there's some writing. It's a quote by Nietzsche. It says 'One must have chaos within oneself to give birth to a dancing star.'
Tinashe how about the wings short film series are you continue react to it like - Begin by Jungkook, Lie by Jimin, Stigma by V, First Love by Suga, Reflection by RM, Mama by JHope, AWAKE by Jin 🙏
It is based on the novel Demian. In fact, the whole Wings album based on the novel. Their short films explains much of it. you can search for alot of theory videos and websites of explanation ^^, if you interested, coz I’m sure BTS made the theory for fans to learn some lessons and have an insight about their minds. However, for non-fans can just enjoy the music, they are still bop anyways 🌚 I enjoyed their music since 2015 until last year, i started becoming an army and i go trough the theory videos. It blows my mind on how much lessons you can learn from it. I would say you dont have to be afraid on how you interpret the musics or videos coz there were never a specific explanation only fan theories that alot of people agree on it 😉
OKAY tinashe nope, 😂 i’ve been searching too for the novel. I’m a Malaysian so its kinda hard to find it 😭 i saw their theories on websites and theory videos. :)
It's rlly interesting having people come and explain production details! Really gives us ARMYs an idea of how they make those beautiful MVs! They should come back and react more often!!
Welcome to Nick, Reid and Ashley ! It was so nice hearing their thoughts about Blood, Sweat and Tears which is not easy to analyze ! Shout out to Nick for the Demian reference :) I hope we'll see them more often ! You should definitely react to the MV making !!
Loved this reaction...! Really enjoyed the kind of background information Reid and Ashley had to offer. Please bring them back for more..! And, Johnny’s brother wasn’t wrong in stating that the Wings album was revolved around Herman Hesse’s Demian. The album included themes of temptation and maturing into adulthood. BTS love incorporating literary references, causing fans to read them in order to better connect to the narrative of the music.
Angela Faye its amazing that how he can relate to demian book. I know at first impression for watching BST, I knew that the mv is about evil because of the angel with black wing and jin kissing it but I dont read book so obviously I dont know about demian book until army brought it up. Lol
This song and MV is the reason why I became an ARMY. And this reaction just made me your subscriber, sorry I was late but this reaction for Blood Sweat and Tears is the best one that I've seen. Thank you!
I love the reactions of JONNYp's family. They were relaxed enough with each other to really enjoy the MV, and give their opinions about it. Totally different feel than when visitors are strangers. I think you have some converts, because they were really getting into it.
He's not wrong though the whole album was really based on Herman Hesse's book "Demian." It so hard to understand when you didn't read the book but after reading it you'll come to understand some of the happenings in the music video which is great. Anyway, great reaction and hopefully they'll comeback. Thank you Tinashe for showing them this video. This is the first time I've seen reactors who really paid attention to what they are watching and shared some important inputs to their audience. They also shared some important knowledge to us that we didn't know. I'm so happy and I keep on smiling while watching this. 👍 Great Job guys! 💕
The concept of the video BS&T is about good vs evil. A book Damien. But the song is actually about loving someone, giving all u got blood sweat tears and more even if it kills you .. and so the last guy Jin lost his innocence when he kissed the statue(the devil)...thnx for another great video...
Yeah the song is about being wrapped up in temptation both wanting to fall, but wanting to retain his innocence. All throughout HYYH he was avoiding, but BST is when he accepted. The blindfold is when he wanted to ignore his reality of no longer being able to be innocent and the release of the hands and green tears are the unveiling, or submission to the truth. You may have missed it, but there is the mother Mary's face that explodes. She being the virgin as well as the sensual theme exposes them as having no way back. Like a virgin's hymen or like Jin's face that is smooth like porcelain, once you've cracked, you're no longer pure. You can't come back together. Like a statue when stressed, he is beautiful but broken. You should definitely check out the behind the scenes and also the Japanese version of Blood Sweat and Tears.
man I really appreciate your work, you are honest and pure like u really give me faith in humanity, and I really like how you put the effort to show people about stuff they were blind and ignornat to, THANK YOU
no honestly thank you guys, I finally found the right youtubers who really reflect the BTS passion, you guys are just like bts, like I can see how u r putting effort and I guess that what us viewers wanna see
If you were wondering what they meant by "Money", it's actually like "Mahni", and it means More in Korean. So when they are saying "Mahni" they are saying I want more, more, more!
The museum is a set. The organ and the pipes are practical. Suga was actually playing but no clue if the pipes were connected. You should watch the MV making for this. Its all sets built for this MV. But, lol, what did they think of the music.
The whole main theme of WINGS was *Boy Meets Evil* The same title as the Albums Intro. They stated the main concept of the Album was meeting various temprtations and evils during maturing into adulthood and growing up. Like destructive relationships, addiction drug use or emotional turmoil, depression etc. This MV&the short films were continuations of the storylines the members' personas in the previous MVs had experienced. What was really cool with this, is that the individual storylines of the personas were continued incorporating the personal& real thoughts of the BTS members to further the story& to achieve this they used the Demian book as a way to connect these two (fictional mv characters&BTSmembers' emotions&thoughts). So to really understand the MV/Lyrics etc you could look at it from these 3 different angles.
THey did show the full scope of the room, when the boys were running away. You can even see more with the behind the scenes. I’m glad you enjoyed it! Great reaction!
The pipes were real in the behind the scenes filming Suga mentions that he banged his head on them and in that scene he actually has a big bump on his head :) edit@ Jonny you have a beautiful family. They were a great addition to the show !
The 7 short films from the Wings album are stunning too! And they all feature quotes from the book as well. It would be awesome to see reactions to those with this same crowd. But that might be tough practically for you guys! Really interesting reaction.
this what makes BTS different and more special to me. They brought music with story that left you thinking. You need to see their wings series story that each members have, and also the prologue and epilogue. It would all connected. And I see you've already reacted to spring day which tell you a hint from omelas and so on so on. Get ready for a nearly comeback will blow our mind. [just lil reminder that everything that happens in BTS MV is freakin well concepted and could give youu a hint for either stories or clues for next thing they'll drop] if you remember the VCR in MAMA PERF 2017 and you see 3:33 written in jimin's white shirt is because every 3:33 in BTS videos is simply jimins part. hope it would enlighten your confusion!! and be ready to dig their theories with us. I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU& YOUR FRIENDS ARE SINCERELY CURIOUS ABOUT THESE COMPLETE INSANELY CONNECTED STORIES!!!! AND YOU ALL ARE SO SMARTTTT
Tinashe maybe you can be doing the behind the scenes making of the MV in the same video after watching the MV so if anyone has questions about the production, they are able to get answers, cause they might not be in the next episode when you plan to watch the behind the scene.
I love these reactions because have you EVER seen a reactor that takes notes!? I mean that's how I am during comeback season with theories but your the first reactor I've seen who takes notes for the MVs and is trying to learn korean. Dedication right there. I love it.
actually.. for your information.. technocrane was used, but for the part with Jin staring at the painting, them running out of the museum, J-hope on the fountain, them dancing on the museum and Jin walking up to the statue was mostly a real cameraman walking around and holding the camera.. the crane was only used to create a bird side angled view to show the production value of the set and how the environment creates the vibe with the tone of the music..
Those words RM was saying were from the book of Demian. BTS really loves to incorporate their music with literary so we fans always try to dig in deeper and make theories. 😂
Oh no no 😂 I meant the guests don’t cuss as much so I don’t wanna over due it. I really like to make first time guests be as comfortable as possible by me adapting to them lel. But once they’re on more then it’s game over 😂
For me, the "You" in the song, is not a person, but is the concept of creating Art. Like, they are tempted to give all of themselves to their Art, even losing themselves or going to a dark place - possibly even trading their souls with the Devil to get better at Art/Music. So they know that if they give EVERYTHING of themselves, they might be more successful, but they would lose themselves to their Art. I base that idea on the many art forms present in the song, but also that the giant picture of Icarus flying close to the sun was present in one scene. You must know that even if a Bts song sounds/looks like a love song, it's often MORE than that. The boys think in layers, and that's reflected in their songs/lyrics/dances/etc.
Ahhhh! Please have JonnyP's family on again! I love their insights on everything and especially Reid's technical standpoint. ive never really seen other channels go so indepth about it. AND NICK!!! he was spot on with Demian I was shook. I really want u guys to react to Blood Sweat and Tears Japanese ver. especially Nick bc the video is so important to theories and the connections between the MVs. (The theories start around the HYYH era but the MV itself is still amazing so if ur not into the Theories and stuff u can still enjoy it:) But yeah the Japanese BS&T MV is probably my favorite out of all of their MVs!!! The only thing is that they copyright the Japanese versions... I have seen other TH-camrs like JRE and Jose edit their reaction so they don't get copyrighted so it would be amazing if u guys could react to it too. I love that u all really talk and discuss about everything. (don't force yourself if its too risky! I don't want ur channel to get strikes. love ur channel!)
Wlc to BTS FAMILY And no worry everything u say here is exactly the whole ALBUM is about So that why everytime u watch BTS MV VIDEO or any video from BTS..not to blink or miss anything YOU guys should watch the blood sweet &tears the mv making
You have made many MV and music reaction at this point, how about changing a little bit to some theory / explained MV reaction? All the MVs of BTS are awesome and I would like to see some reactions on the theory. Also, if you want to understand the WINGS album and this song clearly, I would recommend you watch 7 short films of this album from 1 to 7 for better understanding. There are other short films from the previous album HYYH (The most beautiful moment in life pt.1 & 2) and the latest album "Love Yourself". I would love to see some reactions on these videos.
*You guys/girls did a great job especially starting with Blood, Sweat and Tears. It's pretty much like you would try to understand a book that is based on another book but starting almost at the end of the second chapter. It doesn't help either that this mv is packed with symbolism that is hard to grasp if you don't have a good knowledge about Renaissance art, religious imagery, psychology, philosophy and/or German literature.* *I think everyone has explained everything by now, just three little points that might be interesting:* a.) Jin plays Sinclair and V plays Demian (btw. Emil Sinclair is the main character - Max Demian is his "friend"). In the original Sinclair doesn't kiss Demian but the other way around: " Close your eyes, Sinclair!" I closed my eyes in obedience. I felt a light kiss on my lips where there was always a little fresh blood which never would go away." b.) The first classical music piece was by Bach (Mass in B minor) - the second by Buxtehude (sorry don't know the "title" and I'm too lazy too search for it ^.^) c.) A (at least I believe so) very important phrase gets overlooked very easily. Above the mirror at the end you can see a quote by Nietzsche (in it's German original form btw). Not only does this sum up the essence of the story but the author (Hermann Hesse) was highly influenced by Jung, who himself was influenced by Nietzsche. The same Carl Jung that phrased the term Synchronicity (which plays a part in quantum physics), which means there is always a reason for something to happen even if causality doesn't apply. He said something could also be connected by meaning (or to put it in other words, it happens because it should happen (destiny?!)). And to leave you with a bomb shell to use BTS' words: "From the day the universe was formed. Past infinite worlds. Probably in our past life and in our next lives, We’ll be together forever. Because all of this is not coincidence. Because we’ve found our destiny" (DNA) (That's all of course only what I took from everything. I could be wrong, but that's the beauty of all these mvs and shortfilms. ^.^)
Tinashe!. We need to talk!... You and your gang are my bias wreckers. I really love your reactions/reviews/analysis. It, by itself, is a great entertainment and I enjoy every minute of it.I love all your gang members, both old and new ones. Thank you !!..Keep up with the good work. My very first BTS MV was Blood, Sweat, and Tears. That was almost a year ago. I remember that I was sure that Jimin was a girl. I was mesmerized by this song and mv and I watched it at least 5 times to try to understand what it meant. There are so much symbolism and many things which gives one glue. but you don't notice them by one watch. B,S and T is still one of my absolute favorite BTS songs. I remember that I also was fascinated by how beautiful these boys are. I wasn't sure if they really are real. Thought they were some kind of computer animation. Well, now i know they are very real and I still love BTS.
you are on point.. the WINGS album is based on the book. It is actually a continuation from their previous albums that took on the journey of youth facing various challenges in life and now in another stage in life, you are faced with evils in life (seduction, love, greed, lust etc). You should also take a look at the whole discography of the album - from the intro song - Boys Meet Evil and the mini movies / trailers they released prior to the release of album... BTS and BH thrive on artistic outlet not only thru their songs but their MVs too... :D
The wings weren’t on the Boy cause that is based of the painting. This painting is called 'Landscape with the Fall of Icarus'. It’s about a boy who’s father gives him wings that r stuck with wax. The boy flys too close to the sun and the wings melt. He falls in the ocean and drowns. And that is the painting where the boy is jumping of the ceiling in the mv. And it’s based of loads of other artworks
Actually, it was all connected to the 7 cinematic trailers of WINGS album~ BEGIN, LIE, STIGMA, FIRST LOVE, REFLECTION,MAMA, AWAKE.~ it was in chronological order, then you’ll understand a lot of things in Blood Sweat and TEars, WINGs album, didn’t became BTS massive breakthrough album for nothing.~ 😉
I really love seeing people not only react but also have long in depth discussions~ I'm just going through all your bts reactions and I do hope you guys will react/discuss the japanese version of Blood Sweat & Tears! (though I know there can be some weird copyright things with the Japanese versions so good luck) and also future mvs as well! Oh! And the highlight reels! :)
oooh great reaction and breakdown of the mv ^^ i really like it when you talk about production ~ i hope you enjoy the behind the scenes if you get a chance so see it. also don't worry if you miss some theories. it's great when you make them on your own like when you made the "second world" theory about how it could refer to the world being different when you're in love etc :> and hey you were right the pipes were practical effects ^^ yoongi hit his head on them when he was making his way to the organ lol hope you're all having a good day! great job on growing your channel OKAY TINASHE ~ 💜
I love BS&T. This song is part of the Wings Album which is some deep stuff. I hope you react to the Wing Series in the future and the Solo songs itself on the album. Edit: Also it kills me everytime you bring a guest and the roll down the stairs 😂👌
I'll say this again, even though BTS songs might seem like love songs, they're not. This song in particular was abt youth and temptation. And this video is connected to the other BTS videos and highlight reels. Their videos and songs are more than the obvious.
I think the wings missing off showed that he is now human and Jin was now the statue. Traded places and souls. When an Angel gets his wings off, they become human.
Love your reactions. Liked the guy with the glasses comments. Before you watch the wings clips, you should watch the earlier trilogy: I need you, Run and Prologue.
BST is a moombahton song, hence the Latin feels. Lol it was practical, it hit Yoongi in the head a couple times. It's about temptation and we'll, there's some other ish going in that's related to hyyh stories and Taehyung is the tempter, the fallen angel, with Jin being the last one to fall and make a deal. Jimin taking off his blindfold, theory is Yoongi tries to keep Jimin blindfolded because he wants to keep him restricted, now whether this is good or bad, depends on interpretation and Japan Version makes it seem like he was trying to protect him. Whereas Namjoon is actively trying to corrupt Jungkook in both versions of the mv. Tae is the good guy gone bad, something that happens in I Need U is why he's this way he is. Also that end, we don't know for sure if that's Jins actual reflection or a parallel him. Lol so much to say but hyyh series needs to be seen first fully, so no spoilers. If you ever want to react to a live, I think this one from Jimmy Kimmel should be fine. Lol though it's a bit weird to see them in MD outfits doing this song - th-cam.com/video/WsXbFNuKwYY/w-d-xo.html
( my poor English............) haha, actually I think BTS's title song is kind of "just for fun", comparing to their deep and touching non-title songs. In non-titles they told more their thoughts and stories, or talking about the society and young generation, maybe songs like that will worth more discussing and sharing. ( coz they are still just pop music, in titiles the most important job is to be popular and pleasing to the ear,but in non-title, bts feel more free and unhurried to share a different world. hahah , whatever I love them, let's loooking forward to their new comeback at 5.18. Again thank you to your guys , I see attitude in your channel and thanks to all the friends come, they take it seriously or have fun with BTS, I am happy and proud , I enjoyed , Thank you guys, love you
If you want, there’s also behind the scenes of their music videos. I recommend Bangtan Subs or ARMY Unnie for eng subtitles(ARMY Unnie’s is closed captions and Bangtan Subs is on screen)
The interlude is better referred to as the bridge. Also, no mention is made of the scene that seems directly cut from Da Vinci's The Last Supper, that positions Jin in the spot usually reserved for Judas. As we know, Judas gave into temptation by giving up you know who, just as Jin seems to be giving into temptation by kissing the fallen angel statue. V, I suppose, is the living embodiment of that fallen angel, which is why he leaps out the window in front of a famous painting depicting Icarus falling from the sky after flying Apollo's chariot too close to the sun, and also explains V hanging seemingly in midair in an eternal kind of 'fall.' V, according to the bridge, would also be the 'tempter,' and the link to the second (which is a reference to Hesse's Demian that question's Christian norms of good and evil ('the second' referring to socially ascribed but perhaps not actual evil.)
Actually there are many metaphors and symbolism, the thing is the lyrics sometimes doesn’t actually mean it. So many theories goes, how In the past they have done many sins and so in this video Jin is like the one who’s saves everyone by making a deal with the devil ( which is v). In which case Jin starts breaking because that’s the deal to free all the members. As you can see the statues start to break and jimin is released from the blind fold.
I wasn't planning on watching whole 25 min long video but that discussion was really very interesting 👌👌👌..n I like how you take notes while watching mv..pls keep doing theories.
one thing you should know .. their MV has a different story from their actual lyrics, some make sense but it really doesn't 😂😂😂 there's a series on how you should be watching their MVs, their MVs are based on books
It's not about liking one person. It's more about giving yourself to temptation. It's very biblical. Jin is making a contract with the devil, by kissing him. This mv had a lot to do with the book Demian by this German guy, named Hesse, you're right!
V's bare tummy & Suga's tongue technology yes. I’ve read the book before. And if you look at the Wings photo shoot. You see Jimin w apples and in the book is a character that Jimin is supposed to be. The book explains who/ what character r. And about “Sweeter that sweet, chocolate cheeks and chocolate weeks” that part comes in the books.
'This german guy' ... I know it's correct, but Hermann Hesse is my favorite author (I'm german), so ... ouch.
V's bare tummy & Suga's tongue technology I was gonna explain this but you got it, the devil is known as a tempter , and the devil is the "bad" or forbidden things that humans do in life
its a theory but they mostly it comes from the book demian by hermann hesse
BTS has stated many times that their Wings concept is based on youth/boys falling into temptation and losing their innocence.

The guy with the glasses was getting so into the video and as an fan of BTS, it was really nice to see someone genuinely interested in the video and the storyline.
Oh Nick!? Yeah he’s awesome. He will be coming on more 🤓
Cweepi Cookii I bet he gonna get mindblown with BTS recent glitch theories if he is part of army early.
OKAY tinashe is he army? Coz he is spot on about demian theory coz its been confirmed that BST and whole wings short film got inspired with demian book.
He’s not army yet but I’ll have him come over more 🙃
s92 honestly though. The whole fandom is about to be hella shook. Flirtaus is coming out with a new au and Twitter is going to literally break. After all, last time we were on top of trending for like 5 days straight. Any new ARMY are going to be so lost tbh 😂
You need to watch, the making of this mv! Also on top of the mirror, there's some writing. It's a quote by Nietzsche. It says 'One must have chaos within oneself to give birth to a dancing star.'
Okay Okay! Ohhhh. Okay now I understand it a bit better now
here's the link with english subs th-cam.com/video/dyvu5r6LsQU/w-d-xo.html
V's bare tummy & Suga's tongue technology that's one of my fav quotes by Nietzsche !
"Admirers of art" he says as J-Hope stares at Jin. He is an intellectual. Can we keep him?
I use to work at a museum and natural light damages artifacts so you won't really have windows in display areas.
I never knew that lmao
Tinashe how about the wings short film series are you continue react to it like - Begin by Jungkook, Lie by Jimin, Stigma by V, First Love by Suga, Reflection by RM, Mama by JHope, AWAKE by Jin 🙏
Yes! Stay tuned for the summer :p
silvia ayu OMG YES THE THEORY VIDEOS PLEASE REACT MAN!!!
OKAY tinashe With English subtitles!!
Moonlight yes that's important 😊
and don't forget watching the full song with the lyrics after short film since the short film series not showing their whole song...
It is based on the novel Demian. In fact, the whole Wings album based on the novel. Their short films explains much of it. you can search for alot of theory videos and websites of explanation ^^, if you interested, coz I’m sure BTS made the theory for fans to learn some lessons and have an insight about their minds. However, for non-fans can just enjoy the music, they are still bop anyways 🌚
I enjoyed their music since 2015 until last year, i started becoming an army and i go trough the theory videos. It blows my mind on how much lessons you can learn from it.
I would say you dont have to be afraid on how you interpret the musics or videos coz there were never a specific explanation only fan theories that alot of people agree on it 😉
Yes yes! Have you read it yourself?
OKAY tinashe nope, 😂 i’ve been searching too for the novel. I’m a Malaysian so its kinda hard to find it 😭 i saw their theories on websites and theory videos. :)
OKAY tinashe. Yes, I did read and BTS all members read too. Not heavy book. Just 80 pages

It's rlly interesting having people come and explain production details! Really gives us ARMYs an idea of how they make those beautiful MVs! They should come back and react more often!!
Welcome to Nick, Reid and Ashley ! It was so nice hearing their thoughts about Blood, Sweat and Tears which is not easy to analyze ! Shout out to Nick for the Demian reference :) I hope we'll see them more often !
You should definitely react to the MV making !!
lmao the saga of people who don't know how stairs work continues!
I'm legit surprised none of them have irons. HAHAHAHA but let's do this!
Haha. I guess the iron mystery continues! :P what does the iron mean? Or maybe it’s just an iron ironing around 🤷🏾♂️
OKAY tinashe I have started a Johnny P-iron theory thread on twitter 😉
Highkey ARMY, no body is taking my iron away, haha 😁
Loved this reaction...! Really enjoyed the kind of background information Reid and Ashley had to offer. Please bring them back for more..!
And, Johnny’s brother wasn’t wrong in stating that the Wings album was revolved around Herman Hesse’s Demian. The album included themes of temptation and maturing into adulthood.

The concept of the video BS&T is about good vs evil. A book Damien. But the song is actually about loving someone, giving all u got blood sweat tears and more even if it kills you .. and so the last guy Jin lost his innocence when he kissed the statue(the devil)...thnx for another great video...

Yeeee!! I hope you enjoyed it 🙃🙃
Christian Park, thanks haha!!! It was cool to have everyone together!!
I know right 💕

JESUS CHRIST, DUDE! I'M SO INTO YOUR PERSONALITY! DUDE YOU'RE SO BUBBLY AND CHEERFUL IT'S MAKING ME JEALOUS ;-;
Gotta say, Love JonnyP's Family Edition~

What was really cool with this, is that the individual storylines of the personas were continued incorporating the personal& real thoughts of the BTS members to further the story& to achieve this they used the Demian book as a way to connect these two (fictional mv characters&BTSmembers' emotions&thoughts).
So to really understand the MV/Lyrics etc you could look at it from these 3 different angles.
Loving all the technical details!! Thank you for feeding the brain!
THey did show the full scope of the room, when the boys were running away. You can even see more with the behind the scenes. I’m glad you enjoyed it! Great reaction!
Aaaaa you should totally watch the behind the scenes to a MV! I would’ve loved to hear the dude talk about that!
The pipes were real in the behind the scenes filming Suga mentions that he banged his head on them and in that scene he actually has a big bump on his head :) edit@ Jonny you have a beautiful family. They were a great addition to the show !
I loved them and how he (the one with the girlfriend) broke down the the museum thing💕 great reaction and review
Loved it! You should show them the whole wings concept, short films etc etc they contributed with some cool insights
The 7 short films from the Wings album are stunning too! And they all feature quotes from the book as well. It would be awesome to see reactions to those with this same crowd. But that might be tough practically for you guys! Really interesting reaction.
Woowww. I learn alot with that guy in the black shirt. Its really nice to know those stuff.
this what makes BTS different and more special to me. They brought music with story that left you thinking. You need to see their wings series story that each members have, and also the prologue and epilogue. It would all connected. And I see you've already reacted to spring day which tell you a hint from omelas and so on so on. Get ready for a nearly comeback will blow our mind.
[just lil reminder that everything that happens in BTS MV is freakin well concepted and could give youu a hint for either stories or clues for next thing they'll drop] if you remember the VCR in MAMA PERF 2017 and you see 3:33 written in jimin's white shirt is because every 3:33 in BTS videos is simply jimins part. hope it would enlighten your confusion!! and be ready to dig their theories with us.
I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU& YOUR FRIENDS ARE SINCERELY CURIOUS ABOUT THESE COMPLETE INSANELY CONNECTED STORIES!!!! AND YOU ALL ARE SO SMARTTTT
I loved this reaction!! I love how you talked about the set and technique used... and the viewers were so into the video, they rly paid attention! :)
I think the organ was really there
Reid Petro knows a lot about production, that is cool, cause he explain a lot of things to u guys
Gabriela Cordeiro, yeah Reid and I grew up making videos together. He works in New York as professional videographer now.
JONNYp 😮 that is really cool, i wanna see him in more videos if he can 😅
Tinashe maybe you can be doing the behind the scenes making of the MV in the same video after watching the MV so if anyone has questions about the production, they are able to get answers, cause they might not be in the next episode when you plan to watch the behind the scene.
Such a great analysis! I really enjoyed the intellect in this video :) keep it up man ;)
I love these reactions because have you EVER seen a reactor that takes notes!? I mean that's how I am during comeback season with theories but your the first reactor I've seen who takes notes for the MVs and is trying to learn korean. Dedication right there. I love it.
actually.. for your information.. technocrane was used, but for the part with Jin staring at the painting, them running out of the museum, J-hope on the fountain, them dancing on the museum and Jin walking up to the statue was mostly a real cameraman walking around and holding the camera.. the crane was only used to create a bird side angled view to show the production value of the set and how the environment creates the vibe with the tone of the music..
One of the best group video reaction I've seen. U guys were guinely interested and open minded.
Omg yaaas someone knowledgeable about camera techniques and camera work 👐🏽 pls have him back! Pls have all of them back!! 🙏🏽
The dude in the flannel seemed really into the whole aesthetic and symbolism of the video which I appreciate a lot
Those words RM was saying were from the book of Demian. BTS really loves to incorporate their music with literary so we fans always try to dig in deeper and make theories. 😂
who says we dont like the cussing?? 😃 Awesome reaction!
Oh no no 😂 I meant the guests don’t cuss as much so I don’t wanna over due it. I really like to make first time guests be as comfortable as possible by me adapting to them lel. But once they’re on more then it’s game over 😂
OKAY tinashe gotcha! makes sense...dont corrupt them too much ....at least not right away 😎
Love this couple, they are so adorable and smart=) Love their reaction! Hope to see them more often =) Thank you!
For me, the "You" in the song, is not a person, but is the concept of creating Art. Like, they are tempted to give all of themselves to their Art, even losing themselves or going to a dark place - possibly even trading their souls with the Devil to get better at Art/Music. So they know that if they give EVERYTHING of themselves, they might be more successful, but they would lose themselves to their Art. I base that idea on the many art forms present in the song, but also that the giant picture of Icarus flying close to the sun was present in one scene. You must know that even if a Bts song sounds/looks like a love song, it's often MORE than that. The boys think in layers, and that's reflected in their songs/lyrics/dances/etc.
The organ symbolizes the stages of purgatory. Which one must go through after death to get purified before going to heaven.
V's bare tummy & Suga's tongue technology iii
X
I feel goosebump eventho i watch this freakin million times, why??
Ahhhh! Please have JonnyP's family on again! I love their insights on everything and especially Reid's technical standpoint. ive never really seen other channels go so indepth about it. AND NICK!!! he was spot on with Demian I was shook.
I really want u guys to react to Blood Sweat and Tears Japanese ver. especially Nick bc the video is so important to theories and the connections between the MVs. (The theories start around the HYYH era but the MV itself is still amazing so if ur not into the Theories and stuff u can still enjoy it:) But yeah the Japanese BS&T MV is probably my favorite out of all of their MVs!!! The only thing is that they copyright the Japanese versions... I have seen other TH-camrs like JRE and Jose edit their reaction so they don't get copyrighted so it would be amazing if u guys could react to it too. I love that u all really talk and discuss about everything. (don't force yourself if its too risky! I don't want ur channel to get strikes. love ur channel!)
Wlc to BTS FAMILY
And no worry everything u say here is exactly the whole ALBUM is about
So that why everytime u watch BTS MV VIDEO or any video from BTS..not to blink or miss anything
YOU guys should watch the blood sweet &tears the mv making
You have made many MV and music reaction at this point, how about changing a little bit to some theory / explained MV reaction? All the MVs of BTS are awesome and I would like to see some reactions on the theory.
Also, if you want to understand the WINGS album and this song clearly, I would recommend you watch 7 short films of this album from 1 to 7 for better understanding. There are other short films from the previous album HYYH (The most beautiful moment in life pt.1 & 2) and the latest album "Love Yourself". I would love to see some reactions on these videos.
okay I'll be getting into the theories. :) stay tuned :P
Pretty please take a look at BTS Spring Day theory! th-cam.com/video/Tye1ONFeKis/w-d-xo.html
Jin kissed the statue means, " *I kissed the temptation* "
*You guys/girls did a great job especially starting with Blood, Sweat and Tears. It's pretty much like you would try to understand a book that is based on another book but starting almost at the end of the second chapter. It doesn't help either that this mv is packed with symbolism that is hard to grasp if you don't have a good knowledge about Renaissance art, religious imagery, psychology, philosophy and/or German literature.*
*I think everyone has explained everything by now, just three little points that might be interesting:*
a.) Jin plays Sinclair and V plays Demian (btw. Emil Sinclair is the main character - Max Demian is his "friend"). In the original Sinclair doesn't kiss Demian but the other way around: " Close your eyes, Sinclair!" I closed my eyes in obedience. I felt a light kiss on my lips where there was always a little fresh blood which never would go away."
b.) The first classical music piece was by Bach (Mass in B minor) - the second by Buxtehude (sorry don't know the "title" and I'm too lazy too search for it ^.^)
c.) A (at least I believe so) very important phrase gets overlooked very easily. Above the mirror at the end you can see a quote by Nietzsche (in it's German original form btw). Not only does this sum up the essence of the story but the author (Hermann Hesse) was highly influenced by Jung, who himself was influenced by Nietzsche. The same Carl Jung that phrased the term Synchronicity (which plays a part in quantum physics), which means there is always a reason for something to happen even if causality doesn't apply. He said something could also be connected by meaning (or to put it in other words, it happens because it should happen (destiny?!)). And to leave you with a bomb shell to use BTS' words: "From the day the universe was formed. Past infinite worlds. Probably in our past life and in our next lives, We’ll be together forever. Because all of this is not coincidence. Because we’ve found our destiny" (DNA) (That's all of course only what I took from everything. I could be wrong, but that's the beauty of all these mvs and shortfilms. ^.^)
The man with glasses and the man with hat gets my attention...they really get hooked on the video...💜💜💜
Tinashe!. We need to talk!... You and your gang are my bias wreckers. I really love your reactions/reviews/analysis. It, by itself, is a great entertainment and I enjoy every minute of it.I love all your gang members, both old and new ones. Thank you !!..Keep up with the good work.
My very first BTS MV was Blood, Sweat, and Tears. That was almost a year ago. I remember that I was sure that Jimin was a girl. I was mesmerized by this song and mv and I watched it at least 5 times to try to understand what it meant. There are so much symbolism and many things which gives one glue. but you don't notice them by one watch. B,S and T is still one of my absolute favorite BTS songs. I remember that I also was fascinated by how beautiful these boys are. I wasn't sure if they really are real. Thought they were some kind of computer animation. Well, now i know they are very real and I still love BTS.
Merya L, thanks so much for the love and support! We really appreciate it!!
@ 9:15 - the girl says "fatal attraction." That is the most concise explanation of this video.
All of them are actually statues that represents all temptations.
I like that the discussion went technical.
A GLITCH!! ANOTHER SIGN😱😂
What glitch)!?!?
OMG THE THEORIES ARE COMING AGAIN SSHHHH MY BRAIN IS ALREADY GLITCHING
OKAY tinashe it’s a theory that ARMY has for BTS new era/concept
OKAY tinashe th-cam.com/video/j2DR8ng8AHg/w-d-xo.html
Taetae i can’t handle all of these theories and all this evidence i’m really trying to focus on beardtan😂
Tinashe focused face at 4:45 😂 cause SAME
ME : trying to focus on the reaction.
ALSO ME ; POtAToeS
rapgenius is100% right.
you are on point.. the WINGS album is based on the book. It is actually a continuation from their previous albums that took on the journey of youth facing various challenges in life and now in another stage in life, you are faced with evils in life (seduction, love, greed, lust etc). You should also take a look at the whole discography of the album - from the intro song - Boys Meet Evil and the mini movies / trailers they released prior to the release of album... BTS and BH thrive on artistic outlet not only thru their songs but their MVs too... :D
The wings weren’t on the Boy cause that is based of the painting. This painting is called 'Landscape with the Fall of Icarus'. It’s about a boy who’s father gives him wings that r stuck with wax. The boy flys too close to the sun and the wings melt. He falls in the ocean and drowns. And that is the painting where the boy is jumping of the ceiling in the mv. And it’s based of loads of other artworks
Actually, it was all connected to the 7 cinematic trailers of WINGS album~ BEGIN, LIE, STIGMA, FIRST LOVE, REFLECTION,MAMA, AWAKE.~ it was in chronological order, then you’ll understand a lot of things in Blood Sweat and TEars, WINGs album, didn’t became BTS massive breakthrough album for nothing.~ 😉
BTS Come back home/no more dream/mic drop 4th Muster "..LIT AF
Tinashe u should let them react to the behind the scenes of this mv with eng sub! love u! ARMy R busy with the glitch thing
That was really interesting reaction with explanation on production of the video. Thanks.
Great guests, I like all of them. We want to hear the girl sing~
STILL WAITING FOR YOUR REACTION TO BTS' "I NEED U" ORIGINAL VERSION (19+) WITH THE TUESDAY SQUAAAAAAAAD!!!! 😭😭
Tinashe you need to watch their live performance for this! It's lit and aesthetically pleasing!!!
I really love seeing people not only react but also have long in depth discussions~ I'm just going through all your bts reactions and I do hope you guys will react/discuss the japanese version of Blood Sweat & Tears! (though I know there can be some weird copyright things with the Japanese versions so good luck) and also future mvs as well! Oh! And the highlight reels! :)
oooh great reaction and breakdown of the mv ^^ i really like it when you talk about production ~ i hope you enjoy the behind the scenes if you get a chance so see it. also don't worry if you miss some theories. it's great when you make them on your own like when you made the "second world" theory about how it could refer to the world being different when you're in love etc :> and hey you were right the pipes were practical effects ^^ yoongi hit his head on them when he was making his way to the organ lol hope you're all having a good day! great job on growing your channel OKAY TINASHE ~ 💜
love your reaction, everyone is so conscientious and interesting.
You guys did a good job of interpreting this complex MV.
Mike K, thank you!!
I love BS&T. This song is part of the Wings Album which is some deep stuff. I hope you react to the Wing Series in the future and the Solo songs itself on the album.
Edit: Also it kills me everytime you bring a guest and the roll down the stairs 😂👌
Okay. With school about to wrap up I’ve been thinking of series for the summer. This will he one of them :)
I'll say this again, even though BTS songs might seem like love songs, they're not. This song in particular was abt youth and temptation. And this video is connected to the other BTS videos and highlight reels. Their videos and songs are more than the obvious.
I think the wings missing off showed that he is now human and Jin was now the statue. Traded places and souls. When an Angel gets his wings off, they become human.
Love your reactions. Liked the guy with the glasses comments. Before you watch the wings clips, you should watch the earlier trilogy: I need you, Run and Prologue.
Those entrances though 😂
9:23 She's on point , it's about temptation
I don't know why, but JonnyP holding the iron makes me happy...
BST is a moombahton song, hence the Latin feels.
Lol it was practical, it hit Yoongi in the head a couple times.
It's about temptation and we'll, there's some other ish going in that's related to hyyh stories and Taehyung is the tempter, the fallen angel, with Jin being the last one to fall and make a deal.
Jimin taking off his blindfold, theory is Yoongi tries to keep Jimin blindfolded because he wants to keep him restricted, now whether this is good or bad, depends on interpretation and Japan Version makes it seem like he was trying to protect him.
Whereas Namjoon is actively trying to corrupt Jungkook in both versions of the mv.
Tae is the good guy gone bad, something that happens in I Need U is why he's this way he is.
Also that end, we don't know for sure if that's Jins actual reflection or a parallel him.
Lol so much to say but hyyh series needs to be seen first fully, so no spoilers.
If you ever want to react to a live, I think this one from Jimmy Kimmel should be fine. Lol though it's a bit weird to see them in MD outfits doing this song - th-cam.com/video/WsXbFNuKwYY/w-d-xo.html
I really like this reaction, I love ur guests this time. Good job tinashe!❤
omg i so love themm!!!!! thank you for reacting bts. tinashe thank you for doing this all ♥♥♥
( my poor English............) haha, actually I think BTS's title song is kind of "just for fun", comparing to their deep and touching non-title songs. In non-titles they told more their thoughts and stories, or talking about the society and young generation, maybe songs like that will worth more discussing and sharing. ( coz they are still just pop music, in titiles the most important job is to be popular and pleasing to the ear,but in non-title, bts feel more free and unhurried to share a different world. hahah , whatever I love them, let's loooking forward to their new comeback at 5.18. Again thank you to your guys , I see attitude in your channel and thanks to all the friends come, they take it seriously or have fun with BTS, I am happy and proud , I enjoyed , Thank you guys, love you
If you want, there’s also behind the scenes of their music videos. I recommend Bangtan Subs or ARMY Unnie for eng subtitles(ARMY Unnie’s is closed captions and Bangtan Subs is on screen)
Aye, Jonnyp are back with an iron again.😂🙌👐
Ezudy J.y , you know it, haha!! It's always close by 😁
Let them watch the behind the scenes
The interlude is better referred to as the bridge. Also, no mention is made of the scene that seems directly cut from Da Vinci's The Last Supper, that positions Jin in the spot usually reserved for Judas. As we know, Judas gave into temptation by giving up you know who, just as Jin seems to be giving into temptation by kissing the fallen angel statue. V, I suppose, is the living embodiment of that fallen angel, which is why he leaps out the window in front of a famous painting depicting Icarus falling from the sky after flying Apollo's chariot too close to the sun, and also explains V hanging seemingly in midair in an eternal kind of 'fall.' V, according to the bridge, would also be the 'tempter,' and the link to the second (which is a reference to Hesse's Demian that question's Christian norms of good and evil ('the second' referring to socially ascribed but perhaps not actual evil.)
Actually there are many metaphors and symbolism, the thing is the lyrics sometimes doesn’t actually mean it. So many theories goes, how In the past they have done many sins and so in this video Jin is like the one who’s saves everyone by making a deal with the devil ( which is v). In which case Jin starts breaking because that’s the deal to free all the members. As you can see the statues start to break and jimin is released from the blind fold.
This was fun. You kept saying postification squad. 😂😂😂
I wasn't planning on watching whole 25 min long video but that discussion was really very interesting 👌👌👌..n I like how you take notes while watching mv..pls keep doing theories.
Please watch BTS WINGS FULL STORY. This album is gold. No wonder, they won the best album of the year.
Glad I'm early!
Post notification gang 🧐
Hope you enjoy :)
Great discussion afterwards! Amazing :)
as usual it's perfect ✌🏼
one thing you should know .. their MV has a different story from their actual lyrics, some make sense but it really doesn't 😂😂😂 there's a series on how you should be watching their MVs, their MVs are based on books
Please bring these reactors back!!! TT
Love the reaction 😁😁😁 JONNYp always my favorite 😃😃😃
