hey guys!! :) i'm SO SO SO excited to start this journey with you guys and i can't express how much i've appreciated your support lately. you guys are my fave and ily
If you didn't understand what is happening in this video: -jimin, hoseok and yoongi tried to kill themselves -jungkook ran away from his home and got into a fight, I won't tell you what happens to him that you kinda saw in this vid but not really -taehyung killed his abusive father -namjoon worked at a gas station but was mistreated -seokjin is crying bc of what is happening to the other members, he is like the center of all this storyline but I won't tell you more if you notice, when they are together they are happy and forget their hardships, but when they are alone they start to be sad and have problems again
Fact: The Girl in I need U is supposed to be Friend. They just put Girl in the lyrics because it sounds better than the friend. Girl means your friend, family or love ones.
no the song is clearly about a romantic relationship!! the music video is not related to the meaning of the song nut rather the hyyh storyline. but when reading the lyrics to the song it’s pretty clear that the “girl” they refer to is their lover.
@@kookpage no it isn't they said it themselves in an interview they changed it to girl because it sounded better but the song itself has nothing to do with a girl.
iffat but “friend” is more inclusive. People often get in relationships with their friends or best friends. Also, many people regard their significant other as their best friend. It could also signify that they are no longer in a relationship with the one they currently call their friend. I personally like the “friend” concept way more, but I understand it sounds weird.
So, yeah in the scene with Tae it was basically that his father abused his sister and his father always was drunk and wasnt nice to them so when he saw it, Tae got angry and took one of the bottles his father always drank out and stabbed this bottle into the body of his father, just to safe himself and his sister. I believe he killed him.
Imagine being an old ARMY and having to wait for YEARS to piece it all together KSJXHSHSJ TORTURE I hope you'll also read the webtoon, Save Me, after watching the videos. A lot of the MVs made a lot of sense 😊
Right i always cried because of confused.. do you guys remember when they used to put " boy meets WHAT " in the end of each mv and i was like what is WHAT !! And the storyline i litterally screamed while reading Save Me webtoon because a lot of things made sense
i became an army in september 2018? somewhere near that- i still haven't put all the pieces together, im still confused about it all even though I've watched all the mvs-
I need U was the era where I became a BTS fan (I was already a kpop fan just not a BTS fan) and I was so confused lmao, then they took a year to actually continue the storyline and I was still confused
The guy that V stabbed was his father. V’s sister was being abused. It’s the main point for V’s story. They each have their own struggles (e.g. Jhope with drugs and Suga is associated with fire). You’ll start to understand and learn more about their stories as you go along. There are also pairs too which you should pay attention to: (more for when you get to the short films and past that) Jungkook - Suga V - RM Jhope - Jimin Jin (he’s on his own)
There is also a webtoon called "save me" which is an official webtoon by Bighit which is extremely important for anyone to understand what the hell is actually going on so after watching the videos read the webtoon so you kind of get an idea of the timeline of the events and little snippets of the character's backstory. Also pay close attention to the duo's J-Hope/Jimin RM/V Jungkook/Suga. Jin isnt paired with anyone but is an extremely important character.
@@caitlinmariereacts you dont have to wait for years to bring the pieces together, and analyzise it like older armyyy 😭😭😭😭😭 until bighit drop the webtoon ... anyway hope you enjoy it ...
Individually they're in pain, but when they are together they're happy. You should look for pairs like (RM&V) pay attention to the rest The Japanese version is for their Japanese album.
I've been watching all of your videos when u first reacted to BTS that's was my first time too and I am obsessed with them too and I am an army too now 💜
I can't I need u is their first song I saw. It's just too precious to me... The visuals the meaning the vocals the vibes r just too nostalgic and artistic
I’m so amazed that u can tell who’s who...most reactors still mix them up but I’m really happy that u got them down 💜💗💜 it shows u really care and I’m thankful 🥺
You are so lucky you have a guide through these videos. I got into bts by myself and watched everything by myself and when I got into the storyline, I had already messed up the order of the videos. I was CoNFuSEd
This song is the reason why i stan bts..this song is the one who pulled me out of depression..i love bts even when i never know how they look like..i fell in love with the song first..and for abt 3 months i just listened this song..after that i began to search them on yt..but really..i'm soft stan but i would give my life for them..bcz if it wasn't bcz their songs..i probably dead by now..they save my live
I’m so excited for you! Honestly be prepared to stay in a journey of confusion, but it’s so worth it like piecing a puzzle together but getting more pieces after every watch. I love how you really were able to take the general idea apart for your first storyline video! I see an intellectual ARMY in the making
The flowers alludes to the name of this musical era (the moment when flowers bloom aka HYYH) but the specific flowers you’ll see in this MV and future videos in the storyline have specific meanings and are included for specific reasons. So in other words you’re gonna be seeing flowers pretty often (especially relating to Jin)
In the webtoon we understand more but each member have huge issues that are slowly leading them to death (for exemple: Suga trying to kill himself by setting his room on fire. Jungkook, you'll see when you'll react to his solo song 'Euphoria', in which he says "You are the cause of my euphoria" but is talking about death. Like death is the cause of his euphoria. Jimin with the water. J-Hope with the drugs...) They're all having huge troubles and Jin is the one who have to find a way to save them all. As long as Jin can't find the solution to save them all, he will always relive the same day again and again until he finds the solution. Even if we wanted to spoil you, we wouldn't really be able to because, even now, we don't really know what's happening. We don't know exactly what each member is going through or how it's gonna end. That's why a lot of ARMYs makes theories and try to put the pieces together, finding every clues and all. Every comeback is full of hints all the time so we don't have the finale answer for now
just to explain more about the both happy and sad parts of the music video, this entire album is talking about finding the happiness in sad times, so in the music video, they are all going thru hard times individually, but when they are together they find a way to be happy
It's just the first MV and your already hooked. You will be shock for what you will learn on the rest. Enjoy the ride and welcome to bangtan universe. 💜💜
Every album has its story about school age, school rebellion, teen age and problems in teen and after grown up... Its a complete storyline about life..
Yeyyyyy!!! O man im laughing so hard becuase you are still not over expencive girl😂🤣. Now im gonna watch the reaction. Purple you stay healthy💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 You are beautiful with glasses🙂👍
Outside of the storyline I always believe it is based on growing up, youth, and loss of innocence(childhood) I always think of this beginning as their awakening moment. It’s not the same for everyone. They face troubles and nostalgically remember the good ol days when they were carefree. Everyone faces hardships no matter what type, losing your way and in a sense gaining your own reality can be like a bucket of cold water over your head and you suddenly view the world and yourself differently. For me this MV symbolizes awareness of self and the inability to control what happens next, because things can spiral out of control so quickly if you don’t understand. Which is why we start the journey to find the answers, whatever they may be. Much love from WA 💜💜💜
Part of the reason for two MVs is simply a promotional part of the kpop world! Most groups release Japanese versions of their singles in addition to actual Japanese singles. So for the MV, the song is the same but the lyrics are in Japanese instead of Korean. They are also usually released much later because Korean and Japanese releases are staggered. Sometimes groups will supercut footage together for the Japanese release that is just footage from the Korean MV and a few additional scenes and sometimes they will shoot an entirely new MV that is similar in tone or style. BTS usually takes an approach of using thr Japanese singles to showcase something that the Korean MV does not and have a similar theme, but new tonality which is very interesting. The most interesting difference of MVs for me is between the Korean and Japanese Blood, Sweat, and Tears but I won't spoil the joy of that for you! Thank you so much for beginning a reaction to this!!! In addition to the MVs, there is also a webtoon that you should read before moving onto the Wings Era. Someone else here will probably be able to place it better than me, but it does a lot to show concrete details of events shown in I Need U especially, but also the Prologue and Run. There are a lot of resources with different theories about the MVs trying to "explain" them, but personally I think you should always try and decide on what themes resonate with you! The beauty of this universe is that so little is explicitly stated as fact and there is so much room for interpretation. Enjoy!!!!! This is how my own BTS rabbit hole started. I wish you luck ☺ www.webtoons.com/en/drama/bts-save-me/list?title_no=1514
6:30 This is the saddest scene. In front of the money, it means that sweet candy, which means the child's concentricity, has also turned into a terrible cigarette.
This MV goes directly with the Webtoon, Save Me... it’s a storyline where if they went their separate ways, they’d be miserable, and when they’re together, they have no cares.. they’re happy.
Hi Caitlin, I've been subscribed to you for some time but this is my first time commenting. I really enjoy your reactions ^^ I'm an Army and the story line is one of my favorite things about BTS, so I'm super excited that you're checking it out 😃 I hope people won't give you too many spoilers. The story line is so complex and well thought out and it really makes you theorize a lot because they don't just give the story away that simply. It's like they give us single puzzle pieces and we have to put them all together. So don't get frustrated if you feel like you don't always understand what's happening or have too many questions, it's part of the experience and it will only get more confusing haha 😂 Btw a lot of people miss this when they watch this MV, but did you notice that towards the end of the MV, when RM drops his lollipop on the dollar bill, the lollipop actually turns into a cigarette? Some food for thought 😂 Anyway, I'm really excited for your next reactions. Greetings from Germany! 😊💜
Y’all we really got her hooked 😭😂 i’m so excited for anyone who starts their army journey without stigma or bias, as it makes this experience all the more magical
The reason for the 2 MVs is because they do have “hidden” messages in each that go with a the plot and sometimes they need more room to explain so make another video for it. Also the person who hit jungkook with the car was Jin
then edit your comment. there is an edit button. just write "Edit: I accidently wrote a spoiler, sorry. its removed now" and hope she didn't see. I will also delete my replies that mention the spoiler as well
Fun Fact: These guys were getting hate when they first started people were like "You wont do great" and that "No one will listen to your music!" etc etc etc now look they have 14M+ Fans (ARMYS where you at!!) and now there doing great!
I recommend watching the explanation videos after the actual vid! They’re so helpful. These vids are so chalk full of hidden meanings and complex stories it’s amazing.
Honestly, this was one of the best first reactions to the storyline I've ever seen. You were so focused on the video and you noticed almost all the details. Can't wait to see your next reactions! Stay safe 💜
And oofz if ur confused after you watched all of that mv's or into storyline you can check out the BTS STORYLINE + EXPLAINATION promise ur not gonna regret reacting to this here's the link hope you check it out :) th-cam.com/video/4Xs-WyzB_zg/w-d-xo.html
Omg I was so excited when I saw this video in my notifications (I just got online :P) that I could feel my heart beating omg I'm so excited to see the process of you watching and trying to connect the dots of the storyline omgggomgggomgomg you are by far my favourite BTS reactor I get so excited everytime you post a BTS reaction omg I can't express this with words omg ok I need to stop saying 'omg' lol
there's sooo many layers to their music videos and the storyline. it's really difficult to piece them all together. even when you've finished watching all their music videos, reading the webtoon and the notes, vcr's etc, rather than be clarified, you'll actually find yourself falling deeper into the blackhole love your nails 😅
also a great summary of all of the music videos that kind of explains things a little is the BTS Universe Webtoon, called SAVE ME. You can read it on your own time by downloading the app Webtoon and finding it on there.
Don't worry, I want to give Jimin hugs for all sorts of reasons too ;) You switching from bopping to the music to "Noooooo" when something bad happened to one of the guys was the cutest. Welcome to the storyline rabbit hole.
Hi!! Thank you so much for this reaction series! I love how you are very dedicated to put out these type of videos showing your experience and genuine reaction in BTS' world. I hope you find this journey fun and very exciting w armys! Love lots💖
Hello girl greetings from Argentina !! I really love your reaction to my babies. In short, in relation to this video, there are many things you must know in order to understand it. First of all, Big Hit is always ahead of us, these geniuses had everything absolutely everything planned from before BTS's debut, so nothing that the boys get is just for being, it does not have importance or meaning! Big hit created a whole Marvel-style universe, a universe he called BU! In this universe he tells us a story. It is based on 7 friends who have known each other since adolescence and pass, live and suffer their way through life. A group of friends who are happy being together but who separately each must fight with their ghosts, fears and problems. A story where there is death, pain, tears, terror and time travel! Each member has their own story and together they have another. It is very important that you watch the videos in order so that you can understand a little everything that is happening. The order would be as follows: 1- i Need you ORIGINAL VERSION 2- Prologue ON stage (SUB english) 3- Run 4- Young for ever 5- The 7 short stories of Wings (they are 7 because this was the first album in which the boys had their first solo, solos composed and produced by themselves and that contribute or add to things in their lives and their stories) They are: 1 BEGIN JUNGKOOK, 2 LIE JIMIN, 3 STIGMA V, 4 FIRST LOVE SUGA, 5 REFLECTION RM, MAMA J HOPE AND AWAKE JIN. 6- BOY MEET EVIL 7- BLOOD SWAET AND TEARS 8- The 3 HIGHLIGHT REEL (SUB English) 9- serendipity 10- Wonder EUPHORIA 11- Singularity 12- teaser fake love 1 and 2 13- fake love extended version 14- EPIPHANY You should always watch the videos to the end, because there are always hidden scenes. The story is told in pairs: JUNGKOOK and suga, v and rm, Jimin and J Hope. Jin alone (is the protagonist and who travels in time because? They will find out when they see everything! También. Each member is also related to one or more elements: suga the fire and the piano, Jimin the water, the bathtub the arboretum , J Hope the pills and then the snickers, V the phones, RM the mirrors, KOOK the boys and Jin the camera and a newspaper. Sorry for having written so much and for my poor English !! I hope you can see the videos and get into this world from which there is no way out! Greetings !!
I love how when the "fall, everything" came you went all fangirl when the lyrics are so sad, I mean that's my same reaction, and btw the whole storyline is so sad, that's the reason I first get into them cause I love emo stuff
For storyline songs I recommend listening to the song and reading the lyrics and then watching the music video after. The lyrics and songs are written by the boys and the company producers etc, and the storyline is planned separately. So for songs like this one, you can find some lyrics theme connections, but that's it, they don't actually match. So most people I've seen get confused about the storyline by trying to connect lyrics that aren't supposed to be connected. But then if you just ignore them to watch the videos you miss out on reacting to the song.
Thank you for your videos and I'm happy that you are interested and excited to go into the BTS Universe. The storyline is well-made, yet there are some bits and pieces to uncover (some being very dark), but it is just well planned out. Hope everyone is safe! Also! If you want to understand the story more, you should read their official comic on Webtoon titled Save Me, it can help in understanding the story!
If you want to know more about the storyline read their Webtoon.....It's called Save Me 😊 It makes their storyline clearer and it's sooooooooooo good 💜
Okay from my understanding and interpretation it's about mental health and loss of loved ones (friends,family,etc). Jhope - overdosed Yoongi- set himself on fire Jungkook - was beat up,then hit by a car V - killed his dad who was abusing his sister, his dad in this story was an alcoholic Namjoon - was mistreated as a gas station attendant (the lollipop is supposed to represent a cigarette but korean media doesn't let you show cigarettes) he may or may not have blown himself up considering that he never put out the cigarette Jimin - drowned himself in the bathtub Jin - his story is the most up in the air, the flower petals he has represent remembrance and mourning as if he is mourning the loss of his friends and remembering the good times they had together. Which is why we see so many clips of their adventures together.
FUN FACT: This MV was made when they couldn't afford a proper budget so they people beating up jungkook are actually some of their managers and the cars you see in this mv and you'll see in the run mv belong to the directors and camera directors. They had to do this because they couldn't hire actual actors and afford some of the props. BTW I love your reactions and I have been following you since your first ON reaction! I can't wait to go through the storyline again with you!
There is also a Webtoon that is a HUGE part of the BU, its called "Save Me". I still have no idea what Jimin's story is, haven't seen many theories about his story line. The only thing I know is that he is somehow connected to water, which is why he is in the bathtub.
hey guys!! :) i'm SO SO SO excited to start this journey with you guys and i can't express how much i've appreciated your support lately. you guys are my fave and ily

If you didn't understand what is happening in this video:
-jimin, hoseok and yoongi tried to kill themselves
-jungkook ran away from his home and got into a fight, I won't tell you what happens to him that you kinda saw in this vid but not really
-taehyung killed his abusive father
-namjoon worked at a gas station but was mistreated
-seokjin is crying bc of what is happening to the other members, he is like the center of all this storyline but I won't tell you more
if you notice, when they are together they are happy and forget their hardships, but when they are alone they start to be sad and have problems again
angie . I thought Hoseok had to take those pills because of his illness or something? And he fell on the bridge because of his illness
@@eden2050 taking a lot of pills at once is a common way to commit suicide
@@eden2050 it could be but he took a lot of the same pills, normally it would be one or a few but from different medicines
The hobi one can be explained by save me webtoon but he didn't try to kill himself that's for sure....I don't want to spoil it more
@@eden2050 he did
“Then suga said let me set my room on fire“ didn’t wanna laugh but I did 😂
Fact: The Girl in I need U is supposed to be Friend. They just put Girl in the lyrics because it sounds better than the friend. Girl means your friend, family or love ones.
ohhhh that actually makes so much sense!

So, yeah in the scene with Tae it was basically that his father abused his sister and his father always was drunk and wasnt nice to them so when he saw it, Tae got angry and took one of the bottles his father always drank out and stabbed this bottle into the body of his father, just to safe himself and his sister. I believe he killed him.
Boss
Mr. Dom lmao 😂
Oh he definitely killed him. In the Webtoon he is arrested for it.
I'm a new fan of BTS
so does these stories on their videos are real like did V really killed his father in real life?
10k subs without video challenge noooo it’s the BU storyline (Bangtan Universe) none of this is real
me: no spoilers pls :)
(a few of) y'all: HERE HAVE SOME SPOILERS smh

Much love from WA 💜💜💜
Part of the reason for two MVs is simply a promotional part of the kpop world! Most groups release Japanese versions of their singles in addition to actual Japanese singles. So for the MV, the song is the same but the lyrics are in Japanese instead of Korean. They are also usually released much later because Korean and Japanese releases are staggered. Sometimes groups will supercut footage together for the Japanese release that is just footage from the Korean MV and a few additional scenes and sometimes they will shoot an entirely new MV that is similar in tone or style. BTS usually takes an approach of using thr Japanese singles to showcase something that the Korean MV does not and have a similar theme, but new tonality which is very interesting. The most interesting difference of MVs for me is between the Korean and Japanese Blood, Sweat, and Tears but I won't spoil the joy of that for you!
Thank you so much for beginning a reaction to this!!! In addition to the MVs, there is also a webtoon that you should read before moving onto the Wings Era. Someone else here will probably be able to place it better than me, but it does a lot to show concrete details of events shown in I Need U especially, but also the Prologue and Run. There are a lot of resources with different theories about the MVs trying to "explain" them, but personally I think you should always try and decide on what themes resonate with you! The beauty of this universe is that so little is explicitly stated as fact and there is so much room for interpretation. Enjoy!!!!! This is how my own BTS rabbit hole started. I wish you luck ☺

6:30 This is the saddest scene. In front of the money, it means that sweet candy, which means the child's concentricity, has also turned into a terrible cigarette.
The flower petals represent the members. Don't want to spoil too much but there's a reason why Jin didn't suffer and he's wearing all white...
Caitlin you are amazing, period
Thank you for the reaction
This video clip actually shows the different hardships in life
This MV goes directly with the Webtoon, Save Me... it’s a storyline where if they went their separate ways, they’d be miserable, and when they’re together, they have no cares.. they’re happy.
"I'm like boping but kinda wanna cry." girl same 😂😂
Just discovered your channel and I started watching your BTS reactions 😍👌
“Oh my god, oh my god I wanna hug you... for a lot of reasons... sorry”
Im dead!
Hi Caitlin, I've been subscribed to you for some time but this is my first time commenting. I really enjoy your reactions ^^
I'm an Army and the story line is one of my favorite things about BTS, so I'm super excited that you're checking it out 😃 I hope people won't give you too many spoilers.
The story line is so complex and well thought out and it really makes you theorize a lot because they don't just give the story away that simply. It's like they give us single puzzle pieces and we have to put them all together. So don't get frustrated if you feel like you don't always understand what's happening or have too many questions, it's part of the experience and it will only get more confusing haha 😂
Btw a lot of people miss this when they watch this MV, but did you notice that towards the end of the MV, when RM drops his lollipop on the dollar bill, the lollipop actually turns into a cigarette? Some food for thought 😂
Anyway, I'm really excited for your next reactions. Greetings from Germany! 😊💜
the storyline makes me so emotional still every time
"I thought we were gonna bop today" literally every single reaction video for i need u... and then their faces at the end after watching 🤪
"I'm bopping but i kinda wanna cry" yes. Basically. Just yes. lmao
Y’all we really got her hooked 😭😂 i’m so excited for anyone who starts their army journey without stigma or bias, as it makes this experience all the more magical
Enjoyable content, i cant wait to watch your next video,good work
6:52 when you had to recompose yourself, cracked me up 😂
I NEED U is one of my fav songs and mvs from bts.
You were talking about how like you thought you were gonna but to thins song.
Girl we do bop to this song, we just be cryin while doin so.
The reason for the 2 MVs is because they do have “hidden” messages in each that go with a the plot and sometimes they need more room to explain so make another video for it.
Also the person who hit jungkook with the car was Jin
You need to watch the love yourself highlight reel. It explains the plot a bit better.
Why are you spoiling stuff????
Rosie Pink Oooh I’m sorry the second I posted it you said no spoilers I’m so sorry 😅
then edit your comment. there is an edit button. just write "Edit: I accidently wrote a spoiler, sorry. its removed now" and hope she didn't see. I will also delete my replies that mention the spoiler as well
isn't Jin hitting Jungkook with the car is only a theory?
"OMG, I want to hug you...for a lot of reasons." Had me on the floor laughing . So funny and relatable.
"I'm bopping but I also want to cry" is the only way to listen to I need U
Also read the webtoon “Save Me” it helpful for understanding the storyline!
"wait it's sad???" ohHHH GIRL you're in for a storm
Fun Fact: These guys were getting hate when they first started people were like "You wont do great" and that "No one will listen to your music!" etc etc etc now look they have 14M+ Fans (ARMYS where you at!!) and now there doing great!
I recommend watching the explanation videos after the actual vid! They’re so helpful. These vids are so chalk full of hidden meanings and complex stories it’s amazing.
Honestly, this was one of the best first reactions to the storyline I've ever seen. You were so focused on the video and you noticed almost all the details. Can't wait to see your next reactions! Stay safe 💜
im not really into commentz but hey guess wut? I reaaaally love all of ur reaction like just ur reaction love youuuuu!

Boss
Omg I was so excited when I saw this video in my notifications (I just got online :P) that I could feel my heart beating omg I'm so excited to see the process of you watching and trying to connect the dots of the storyline omgggomgggomgomg you are by far my favourite BTS reactor I get so excited everytime you post a BTS reaction omg I can't express this with words omg ok I need to stop saying 'omg' lol
there's sooo many layers to their music videos and the storyline. it's really difficult to piece them all together. even when you've finished watching all their music videos, reading the webtoon and the notes, vcr's etc, rather than be clarified, you'll actually find yourself falling deeper into the blackhole
love your nails 😅
"Am I boping when I kinda want to cry?"
- Me listening to every BTS song
This video really has a deeper meaning... BTW I'm excited for this journey, as always 😋...Love you!
also a great summary of all of the music videos that kind of explains things a little is the BTS Universe Webtoon, called SAVE ME. You can read it on your own time by downloading the app Webtoon and finding it on there.
Don't worry, I want to give Jimin hugs for all sorts of reasons too ;) You switching from bopping to the music to "Noooooo" when something bad happened to one of the guys was the cutest. Welcome to the storyline rabbit hole.
Hi!! Thank you so much for this reaction series! I love how you are very dedicated to put out these type of videos showing your experience and genuine reaction in BTS' world. I hope you find this journey fun and very exciting w armys! Love lots💖
Hello girl greetings from Argentina !! I really love your reaction to my babies.
In short, in relation to this video, there are many things you must know in order to understand it.
First of all, Big Hit is always ahead of us, these geniuses had everything absolutely everything planned from before BTS's debut, so nothing that the boys get is just for being, it does not have importance or meaning! Big hit created a whole Marvel-style universe, a universe he called BU! In this universe he tells us a story.
It is based on 7 friends who have known each other since adolescence and pass, live and suffer their way through life. A group of friends who are happy being together but who separately each must fight with their ghosts, fears and problems. A story where there is death, pain, tears, terror and time travel! Each member has their own story and together they have another. It is very important that you watch the videos in order so that you can understand a little everything that is happening. The order would be as follows:
1- i Need you ORIGINAL VERSION
2- Prologue ON stage (SUB english)
3- Run
4- Young for ever
5- The 7 short stories of Wings (they are 7 because this was the first album in which the boys had their first solo, solos composed and produced by themselves and that contribute or add to things in their lives and their stories) They are: 1 BEGIN JUNGKOOK, 2 LIE JIMIN, 3 STIGMA V, 4 FIRST LOVE SUGA, 5 REFLECTION RM, MAMA J HOPE AND AWAKE JIN.
6- BOY MEET EVIL
7- BLOOD SWAET AND TEARS
8- The 3 HIGHLIGHT REEL (SUB English)
9- serendipity
10- Wonder EUPHORIA
11- Singularity
12- teaser fake love 1 and 2
13- fake love extended version
14- EPIPHANY
You should always watch the videos to the end, because there are always hidden scenes. The story is told in pairs: JUNGKOOK and suga, v and rm, Jimin and J Hope. Jin alone (is the protagonist and who travels in time because? They will find out when they see everything! También. Each member is also related to one or more elements: suga the fire and the piano, Jimin the water, the bathtub the arboretum , J Hope the pills and then the snickers, V the phones, RM the mirrors, KOOK the boys and Jin the camera and a newspaper. Sorry for having written so much and for my poor English !! I hope you can see the videos and get into this world from which there is no way out! Greetings !!
I love how when the "fall, everything" came you went all fangirl when the lyrics are so sad, I mean that's my same reaction, and btw the whole storyline is so sad, that's the reason I first get into them cause I love emo stuff
I love how you’re an army and a sam and colby fan like my two favorite things ever 👏🏻💞
GURL WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF MINDSSSSSSS
For storyline songs I recommend listening to the song and reading the lyrics and then watching the music video after. The lyrics and songs are written by the boys and the company producers etc, and the storyline is planned separately. So for songs like this one, you can find some lyrics theme connections, but that's it, they don't actually match. So most people I've seen get confused about the storyline by trying to connect lyrics that aren't supposed to be connected. But then if you just ignore them to watch the videos you miss out on reacting to the song.
Her: "Oh, it's sad?"
Me: Honey, you got a big storm coming
Thank you for your videos and I'm happy that you are interested and excited to go into the BTS Universe. The storyline is well-made, yet there are some bits and pieces to uncover (some being very dark), but it is just well planned out. Hope everyone is safe!
Also! If you want to understand the story more, you should read their official comic on Webtoon titled Save Me, it can help in understanding the story!
am i bopping, but i kinda wanna cry, yes girl same.
If you want to know more about the storyline read their Webtoon.....It's called Save Me 😊
It makes their storyline clearer and it's sooooooooooo good 💜
Welcome to the Bangtan Universe girl... Things will go down
Okay from my understanding and interpretation it's about mental health and loss of loved ones (friends,family,etc).
Jhope - overdosed
Yoongi- set himself on fire
Jungkook - was beat up,then hit by a car
V - killed his dad who was abusing his sister, his dad in this story was an alcoholic
Namjoon - was mistreated as a gas station attendant (the lollipop is supposed to represent a cigarette but korean media doesn't let you show cigarettes) he may or may not have blown himself up considering that he never put out the cigarette
Jimin - drowned himself in the bathtub
Jin - his story is the most up in the air, the flower petals he has represent remembrance and mourning as if he is mourning the loss of his friends and remembering the good times they had together. Which is why we see so many clips of their adventures together.
FUN FACT: This MV was made when they couldn't afford a proper budget so they people beating up jungkook are actually some of their managers and the cars you see in this mv and you'll see in the run mv belong to the directors and camera directors. They had to do this because they couldn't hire actual actors and afford some of the props.
BTW I love your reactions and I have been following you since your first ON reaction! I can't wait to go through the storyline again with you!
"are they like all dying right now?"
;yes sis
I recommend reading the Webtoon Save Me, after you watched all the MVs! :)
There is also a Webtoon that is a HUGE part of the BU, its called "Save Me". I still have no idea what Jimin's story is, haven't seen many theories about his story line. The only thing I know is that he is somehow connected to water, which is why he is in the bathtub.
