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

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

      And I agree with your sentiments... i too imagine him hidden away due to an "ugly stain" (quite possibly illigitimacy as you suggested or maybe a physical deformity - both considered reasons to shun people during those times)... and you are so right - unfortunately there are many ways people make each other feel ugly both externally and internally until we fear showing others who we really are.
      BTS constantly try to remind us that it is our imperfections that make us just perfect the way we are... Perfectly Imperfect.
      And - yes - so many of their songs could be songs and messages to the self ( and at the same time can also relate to just about any relationship we have with others in our lives) The depth and application of their lyrics to so many peoples lives is why they can resonate so deeply with almost eveyone.

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

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

I think this performance Jimin mentioned his throat hurting and wasn't sure if he would hit that last long note, but he did amazing!

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

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

    @imajinallthepurple ปีที่แล้ว +158

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

      I think the story isn't about real mask,but his personality /his true life
      maybe the girl is from higher society and not in the man's level or the man is too insecure about his life/personality.so he being lying and be a man with different personality front of her to pleasure her (that what the meaning of put a mask on )
      he want tell her the truth about him but too afraid that maybe she didn't like "the real him".and he afraid if she knows the truth she will leave him ,so he continues to put on his mask(live with his fake personality )

      No, Big Hit legit made up a whole story and went so far as to plant it online as an old Italian fairytale (Smeraldo means emerald in Italian). It's part of the BU and the flower he cultivated was the Smeraldo flower that's the prominent flower in the BU. You can still find it if you search for Legend Of The Smeraldo Flower. Tbh, I bought the whole old fairytale part hook, line and sinker when I first joined the fandom. 😆 They really never do anything halfway.

      Solo stans of the other members are jealous, because JK is the main singer and gets the most lines in the majority of BTS songs...he does the vocal guides and majority of the adlibs in most BTS songs. Of course the others do adlibs, too, but not as often as JK. Solo stans of the other members don't like JK...they think he has too much of the spotlight and they are always wanting to replace JK as the main singer with their fave member....which is rather funny, when you think about it because the members have stated that BTS would not have succeeded without JK, because JK plays such an important role for the group and has so many parts...
      Sometimes when you are that good, it becomes an expectation that you will always be good so your contributions are often overlooked and taken for granted by fans. Also, jealousy builds from solo fans, who want their fave members to shine more.

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

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

      It was made-up by BigHit. There is no reference of the story or Smerldo anywhere until BigHit posted it in the flower shop blog at couple years ago. It's important to the storyline and has key elements in it that relate directly to BTS and the storyline.

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

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

      I think Jungkook said in one of his lives that he would be doing more with his "normal" voice (lower register) because singing in the high register for so long can ruin your vocal chords. (or something to that affect). I noticed in the recent concert in Dope, he intentionally didn't sing one of those high-note lines towards the end of the song, and gave a cute smile instead. Probably his voice has changed over the years too, as he's grown into a man. I'm really looking forward to his solo album.

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

They sound so beautiful.
    And yes RM mentioned one time he mixes the languages when he is looking for lyrics to rhyme and flow and it doesn’t work in Korean.
    Thankfully he is fluent in several languages.

He just busted out crying about the same time the individual tiers they were standing on staring going up at different levels. JK immediately stepped in and began singing Jimins part too. As soon as they were lowered back down JK stepped over to Jimin and remained there with his arm around Jimin for the remainder of the song. Felt so bad for him

    Poor Jimin was sick during a section of the tour, but still managed to pull off bonus high notes in this song. The Truth Untold is one of the best vocal songs from them, and always makes army cry.
    Btw the audacity they had to have Jin perform Epiphany, just for the vocalists to come out and do The Truth Untold after. I can’t imagine the emotions in the crowd
    Edit: the do the rhyme thing a lot actually, and I always thought it was so impressive to be able to do that. Just the thought of how effortlessly they can switch between languages flawlessly is amazing

    This story is based on an old Italian folk tale. It was part of the "Love Yourself" tour. V killed me when he started singing Puccini's famous "Nessun Dorma"! (Check out Pavarotti's version or Placido Domingo.) My mother was a soprano and raised me in a heavy visual and performing arts environment. (7+ years of classical piano). I think with a little training, he might be able to pull of some opera classics. GO V!!! I LOVE it! Thank you for this great reaction and the opera part was such a treat!
