I found this even harder to deal with when I found out at the time bts went against the government and gave donations to the families of the students and was highly critized for it... Even back then they were doing the right thing and they weren't even famous yet
That's unfair really, I always thought they have something special, even if I'm not korean, from the first moement I've watched Not today(my first kpop MV) I was into them and it's really hard to watch again Spring day but I love the fact that BTS have done so much good things.I've seen them helping other people which is great, they're great people.
alex higgins I had no idea about them donating to the families, they are such amazing people, truly.
Wow I didn't really know that!! What a great human beings we are looking up to!!! So proud of them
they good guys
I remember that
On the "Why didn't I catch that immediately?": Probably because you're not Korean and it just wasn't an issue that was on your radar, certainly not when it happened. We only have limited capacity for information, and truthfully, even though the Sewol Ferry tragedy is just horrific, as well as the administration and actions taken afterwards, it's just not something you hear about as an American.
Point is, don't feel dumb that you didn't catch that. I would have called BS if you claimed you did, lol.
Also, BTS have specifically commented several times that they won't reveal a "true" meaning behind any of their songs or MVs, because if someone pulls something meaningful, why spoil it? And I personally have always agreed with that philosophy when it comes to art. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
I researched the tragedy after hearing this theory. It was the first time I ever cried reading an article. I'm American and I remember hearing about it when it happened, but all the information given was the number of people who lost their lives, and not the full story. Finding out about it now. I feel guilty for not knowing. I'm glad this video has come out so we can see the scope of how awful this was and I encourage others to read more about it. There is such an injustice about everything that went wrong in a span of a few hours which essentially wiped out an entire student body.
Alexis Thompson I saw the video where one of the students from the trip recorded it when the ship was sinking, the ferry full of students, and damn man, it was sad to watch. I lowkey wanted to cry.
Avery Bass is it just me or did that come off a bit rude ? a lot of none koreans definitely knew about this disaster. there were american news companies reporting on what happened ..
Avery bass I didn't know that BTS said that they won't reveal a "true" meaning behind any of their songs (although I doubt there is just ONE meaning in any of their songs) can you send me a link to a moment when they did say that. (I might've heard or read that statement at some point in my life but It's possible I just forgot)
Ah you did the thing! You are 1 of 3 You Tube reactors that I REALLY like! Thank you!!
1. The SK government told the families in the beginning that EVERYONE was ok.
2. The Students were told (by the Ferry crew) to stay aboard while it sank.
3.The are txt messages and voice recording of students saying goodbye to family. (they are some of the most tragic and heartbreaking things I have ever read.)
I watched this from the states while it was going on, and I'm still not okay. BTS and Red Velvet did the victims and families right with their songs. Do a quick Google and then rewatch this and Red Velvet....
Also: Spring Day is the BTS song that will not die! I don't think it's EVER fallen off the charts and when ARMY is bored or in their feels they move it up the charts!
I watched it all from the States as well, and I fought becoming sick. I was horrified. I'd been to South Korea once prior to this event, and everything was that much closer to me as a result. Unintentionally yet meaningfully, I was in South Korea a second time in 2016, right at a time of commemoration and protest regarding the ferry disaster. I'm so glad that we can help the victims remain in the minds of people around the world, thanks to BTS and their work.
It’s also important to note that PGH, the former president whose administration handled this mess covered for the owner of the ship line just cuz he had too much hands in the pie of their economy. This and not to mention that the assessment of the crew and their practices were not well assessed thus why capt and crew were really not equipped to operate. They cut costs on training and proper crew? Is what I heard and just hushed it up.
I believe it means that even though they fought for justice and won it still doesn’t change the out come of what happened. Their friends are lost and won’t come back to life just because the guilty have been held responsible. In the end it’s just them trying to move on while never forgetting the friends they have lost.
There are a few theories about Spring Day. But this is, by far, the best of them.
BTS never said that this music and MV is oficialy related to the tragedy, but RM once said, on a live, that he was thinking about the Sewol a lot while writing the lyrics.
Army just put things together...
ARMY are very good detectives!
I don't necessarily agree with every part of this theory but it's strong. A couple of things I read in other analyses:
The students were celebrating their MIDDLE SCHOOL graduation. They were told to stay in their cabins and like many children in their culture they obeyed blindly.
They were 97ers like Jungkook so he plays a large role in this mv.
The white canvas shoes are the same as what students wear inside the school, so that is the significance of them washing up on shore.
These analyses may not be completely accurate but you can Google it and find some interesting information from other theorists.
Now i get this scene...
JK running and meet with the others and they all board the train. They are those who didn't listen and survived.
This is a theory, but there are so many connections, that it has to be correct.
There is still government censorship in music in Korea (it's better than it used to be). So the lyrics and MV had to be metaphorical. But the gen public knows what it is about. Song of the Year 2017, still in the top 100 on the charts after 2+ years(I think 137 weeks). The only info ever offered by BTS was RM talking about writing the song in a park on a spring day, and it was about missing someone.
The constant tilting and blue light as well as the washingmachine circles all represent the sinking of the ship.
oh good point there
I believe, still to this day, it's their best song and most beautiful mv.
one more thing to add: the time in the clock during the scene in the laundry room is the same time as when the ferry started sinking
RM wrote this one afternoon after seeing a leaf fall and was inspired by it. There have been tons of write ups about this, feel free to Google it.
I am so happy to watch this. This is also the longest running song on the Gaon charts and we just celebrated it. It's our Queen, Spring Day.
Good luck with your YT, Twitch and Patreon! 💜💜💜
Also in a speech he said he wrote this about missing friends and trying to comfort them 😭💜💜💜
Everytime I watch this video with reactors I cry, holy heck. They are amazing. And you are, too.
Me too. I cry every time. And some things have changed forever.
That "Oh..." once the explanation video started was definitely me
you're so right about being able to apply it to any struggle though, ben. thanks for always searching for a deeper meaning than just sitting around and faking it like some youtubers do
three videos in one day and a stream tonight, ben is FEEDING us
the Old fairy tale "The little match girl" is a danish fairy tale, by the famous danish author H.C. Andersen
I feel stupid that i didn't notice it until i saw the theory video, bc i had about the fairy tale before
Same that story is so sad. It is sad because she is dying because of her father is making her sell matches in the snow but for me it ends sad happy. She does die but she is reunited with her grandmother who was the only one who cared for her. Like I said sad happy.
Armanda Selinidis yeah, both sad and happy
Justice is small comfort when you've lost a loved one to violence or a senseless act. The relief/justice is short-term because regardless, your life has been forever changed and your future is one without your loved one in it. In the Sewol Ferry case, think about the hundreds of parents that lost their children. It's one thing to lose a parent, that's "natural order" at work, but for a parent to bury a child or children? I can't even imagine it. Will there truly ever be justice for these families?
I was in Korea when there were a lot of protests from the families of the dead children against the government. It was heartbreaking to see these suffering parents who lost their children in such a horrible way.
This, while it was a theory, has been accepted as the true meaning of the song. It should not surprise anyone that BTS puts such a message to the world in such an incredibly moving way. Regardless of how often I hear this song, I still cry.
Aside from spring day you should really watch “Snowpiercer” and read “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas.”
Snowpiercer is such a great movie with a bitter sweet ending. The world becomes too uninhabitable to live in thus being stuck in a really long train as a source of survival. The train is run by one man and his followers like a corrupt government. The first class people get to live in front of the train, living lavishly with better food and more access to stuff. While the lower class people live at the tail/ the end of the train. The lower class barely get any food or close and the upper class gets them and they have to sacrifice a child that’s not “like them” (people with disabilities etc.) one day a man decides to revolt like it said in the video and him and his team has to go through each compartment of the train just to get to the front. It wasn’t that easy (I’m not gonna spoil it) but there was a lot of people that died and blood shed. Eventually they got to the front of the train to get justice, they discovered that there was life outside (from the snowflake) so even if “something” happened, they’ll be ok because there’s life outside of the train once again.
P.S- ITS A REALLY GOOD MOVIE AND YOU NEEEED TO WATCH IT
only a matter of time till you get to do youtube/twitch full time, my man. we believe in you
EDIT: What done is done...The dead know no justice. Any justice achieved is for the living.
"I'm gonna really struggle not to cry".
If every last one of yall didnt feel the exact same way, you don't got a soul in your damn body
You have no idea how much your genuine desire to understand the content you see is appreciated. Thank you for being so thorough and real. 💜
Ben you have become my favourite youtuber over time. You care so deeply about what you are watching and I appreciate that so much. You're so cool man, really a role model for what reaction videos should be like.
You get the message of the song! It’s about finding hope in the struggle!!! The symbolism is about one thing, but the message is about hope!
you're a real one, ben
You'll cry your heart out even more if you watch the videos taken by the students before they drowned because I did. They were so happy and playing around until the moment the ship started to sink, they all started to say things to like 'I love you mom, dad/ I'm sorry sis, I'm not gonna make it/ Please, I don't want to die' and etc.
(13:36) I guess the boys were fighting for justice (for victims) so hard, but in the end when they succeeded, they were reminded that past is past -> train passes anyway in front of them
Sewol tragedy is always gonna make me cry. I keep trying to imagine what if im in the survivor place and i cant bear it. Losing one friend is already painful and its also permanently, and this is like losing ALL of your friends. And remembering that senior high school is that time where we always spend times with our friends more than studying, where me itself, prefer to stay with my friends more making memories rather than studying and thingking ill lose them hits me😭
Basically the train at 14:21 of this video represents the world. Even if they step off the train, run on the path toward justice together, and succeed, the world will still keep moving as it always did because the incident is permanent and they can’t bring those people back. All they can do is remember and not forget.
This song is just so amazing its a masterpiece seriously. No one can dislike it its so good
I know the theory but I'm crying.... 💕Love and support
Me too. I have seen other reactions to this theory and MV but Ben really got me.
The Spring Day mirrored dance practice is visually stunning and for me seems to just perfectly capture this visceral sense of pain and loss through art and movement. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you give it a watch. It's brilliant. 💜
(I feel like a idiot )
Welcome to armies feeling
I went to a memorial service 7 years ago~! I cried so much while watching this video!~ I think of a lot of pictures of students at that time~
I don't know if I'm emotionally ready to watch this again with you 💜
Yeah, I had to wait & get ready. Still cried.
12:28 I think this represents being trapped in time, others just move on with their life but those who were affected by the tragedy as still stuck in the past unable to move on
Some preface on the "Little Match Girl" is she was an orphan (as mentioned because her family died) and tried to sell matches for money in some cold, snowy place. (I believe if was somewhere in Europe but I could be wrong, it's been a bit since I've watched it) The matches are her only source of income really, and most people refuse her. At the end of a particularly viscous snowy day she lights a match for a little warmth, trying to conserve them in hopes of getting money the next day. However, as one goes out, she lights another. She sees her family and a large house with food and fire. This cycle repeats until it's a string on connected hopes and dreams or possibly memories. The final one is either her mother or maid, I'm unsure, leading her into the house. It then cuts away to her small body buried in snow and ends. It's been a while since I've read or seen it though so some things may be incorrect ^^" it's quite sad and almost made me cry but it was very well done. I believe Disney has a short of it as well though I may be wrong
Gosh. I watched this after searching a lot about the sewol ferry tragedy, and it hurt to watch this. And I'm watching it again with Ben, it hurts more. But I want to remember this for the sake of those lost. This is one song ARMY will keep alive all around the world.
Jungkook's match fire. Candlelight demonstration. I think I'm talking
I love this song. BTS are amazing for creating such a masterpiece. It is thoughtful and insightful as well as complex. The guys are geniuses. I also felt really touched when they sang this song during 2020 graduation performance. They did not forget and we will neither!!! -baby ARMY NY USA
The meaning of the song and also become comfort to many people make this song win awards for THE BEST MUSIC VIDEO and BEST SONG OF THE YEAR in 2017 😊💕💓 and one more things, the melody and lyric was written by RM.
Ben, thank you for reminding us that this song can remind us there's still hope. That means a lot.
The scene where Jin is looking up the stairs could also symbolize the actual footage the students recorded inside the ship, If you look it up you can see how tilted they are .It is honestly devastating to watch it
Snow Piercer is a PHENOMENAL movie in its own right. as a side step, it will be WELL worth it if you were to watch it. no joke. Prepare with snack of choice, cell off, curtains drawn and just watch and absorb. Ironically enough, we are all kinda in a bubble, without looking around ourselves to what is going on, no? maybe?
Listening to Spring Day again after watching this video is an intense emotional experience. This song is a masterpiece.
I don't know if it has been brought up before, but I think the lyrics about 'stay there a little longer' or w/e is from the perspective of the people that had passed away, telling the survivors to stay alive, to live their lives, for just a bit longer. Then there are lines about 'I'll come to see you' I think? something like that, which could be them saying they'll meet again in the afterlife, so just hang on longer?
idk.... that is my thoughts on that part.
yess queen spring day!!
you should definitely check out the wings short films next! each member has one for themselves and they all directly relate to the BU storyline. the cinematography and everything is also amazing so i think you'll like it :D
Many students past away in a school trip of seoul. This song is for them.
I came prepared to cry but also enjoy your reaction and commentary.
Thats a forbidden to speak in Korea, thats why BTS havent clearly say that its about the accident, but Korean people knows, thats why every spring this song is on chart again
I really love your genuine reaction ^_^ and you know you can just let your tears flow hahaha. There's not a single moment where I didn't cry watching this video and I've been using a whole lot of tissue
I know I'm a little late, but if you want to learn more about the Ferry tragedy then look up "What Went Wrong in the South Korean Ferry Disaster? | The New Yorker" here on youtube. They released a documentary about it this year, that is very informative about everything that happened. Just be ready to possibly cry. It shined a whole new light on this song for me. I can't listen to it now without tearing up.
Wow, just reacted to your reaction to Spring Day and here you are again
It was awarded best song and in their acceptance admitted it was about "lost friends" which was understood to refer to the ferry disaster...
the part when bts are together to bring justice #YouNeverWalkAlone and a train just passed by it symbolizes that they cannot be with their friends anymore just like jungkook in the train
the government handled it poorly by not allowing the children to escape the ship. they told them to stay in their rooms as the government sat and did nothing to help. they had many opportunities to let the children go and have them sit on the side of the ship where it was tipped over, but they didn't. the coastguard and captain didn't do much of anything to help, either. they reached out to the government, and no agreement was made over what to do. the children drowned because no action was taken when there was every right to do so. it breaks my heart to know that so many lives could have been saved if people just used their common sense, instead of worrying about the ship, itself. out of 476 passengers and crew, 304 died in the disaster, most notably around 250 students. on 15 May 2014, the captain and three crew members were charged with murder, while the other eleven members of the crew were indicted for abandoning the ship. during the capsizing, some members of the crew drank beer. the crew also communicated by telephone with staff from chonghaejin at seven different times. as passengers stayed in their cabins as instructed, captain lee and his crew abandoned the ship. lee, cho, and the first and second mates were the first people to be rescued. the captain was rescued around 9:46 am. as the ship capsized, some passengers followed the announcements to stay put, even as the water came in. most of the student passengers obeyed the announcements. some passengers who climbed to the top of the ship or jumped into the water were rescued. videos recording passengers during the capsizing have been recovered.

some recorded the announcements telling passengers to stay in place and put on life jackets, while some showed passengers joking around, putting on life jackets, and sending farewells. passengers made calls, sent text messages, or sent kakao mobile messages during the capsizing. the last message was sent at 10:17 am.

There's a documentary that went over the Sewol Ferry Tragedy, but I don't have the link. It shouldn't be hard to find the. I think it's somewhere around 30-40 minutes in length.
In the performance version of spring day (live performances showing the dance) there is one moment, in the begining I believe, where the boys create the shape of something similar to the ferry which also leads to this theory of it being about the incident. I'm really glad you decided to check out an explained video, it's always nice to hear you opinions and feedback. You're my favorite reactor and I hope you keep it up! 💜💜
It’s very heartbreaking. If I remember correctly, the song remains wherever in the charts since it was released until today.
I'm glad you checked it 💖
when we say BTS' works are deep we are definitely not exaggerating
So glad you watched this! Great video.
Also big thumbs up for the Alestorm t-shirt 👍
There's symbolism in the choreography as well. Jimin represents the victims, and in the bridge the bows make a 'bow' of a ship
I wont comment on spring day as you will get heaps of reactions to it anyhow. But I will say dont feel bad if you dont understand the message the first time. Understanding "NORMAL" videos are one thing but BTS videos are a different story, there are messages upon messages upon messages in them. You go down a deep dark rabbit hole with them and eventually lead up to the rest of us linking music videos together for big storylines and now awaiting for confirmation with the up in coming game and video coming in 2020. So I can confidentally tell you, you wont understand it all, there is hidden meanings but I will say if you get stuck BTS army will hold your hand through anything you want to understand thou. BTW its the background music in this explained that makes you want to cry. Its beautiful music.
It's the piano version of Spring Day
The part where the train passes and jungkook looks at himself going by on the train, it’s like even if justice is achieved, the dead are still gone, hence the train passing by quickly and jungkook looking on at a train that will never come back. I hope that makes sense haha I tried to explain it more!
Great reaction. It’s amazing reaction.
My tears: Oh shit here we go again
If subtitles don't scare you off there is a even more in depth one by ItalianArmy (she picks up on even more things and talk more about the accident too). The songs and the mv therories dont always connect so dont feel that the lyrics have to talk about the mvs content, and BTS mvs almost always have symbolism, popculture/culture references and hidden things.
This song is just one of the most purest songs RM has written. Its just beautiful
Apparently there's a reference to the Sewol Ferry tragedy in the One Of These Nights MV from Red Velvet as well
This was just as hard for me to watch as it was for you. Thanks for being an open-minded and thoughtful TH-camr. You're a rare gem.
Thank you so much for your Beautiful Reaktion 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This brings me so much ache... I really really love Spring Day of BTS.
Thanks for your reaction
After i saw that expanation /theorie of Springday i cry every time when i see the vid of it
This is why you're my favorite reactor! You really care about their concepts and appreciates every little detail. I hope you'll have a wonderful day bc you just made mine. Thankyou
I love reactions of bts springday explained video
At 14:16 the thing you might not catching is the fact that the boys are looking at the train while jungkook is both with them and in the train, and I think that the jungkook in the train rappresents the victimes
Oh wow i literally wrote a whole essay 😂
Thank you and purple you 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
YES I WAS PRAYING YOUD DO THIS I HAD NO IDEA ITD BE SO SOON THO
Ahhhh I love your videos! It's so apparent in everything you put out that you genuinely care and like what you're watching. Thanks for taking the time to post this video :)
You're definitely not bad at reacting, keep doing what you're doing man 👍
I would recommend watching the sewol ferry video.. Its very sad, but I think more ppl need to know exactly what happened.
Highly recommend that too. However, just, for anyone that wants to watch it, prepare yourself. It's absolutely devastating. I could barely finish it because it was making me so emotional.
@@jsk2691 I know.. I was crying nonstop and got so depressed after it.. But I still felt glad I got to understand more about it all you know?.. 😥
I was in GwanJu (sp?) for a military exercise during the time of the accident. They shut down the base and flew the president in for the disaster, meanwhile as an American who had no easy access to the news at the time the Korean government shut down all media on the base (Korean base). We were told nothing was happening and were given the day off. When I went off base into town I finally saw everything on the news, but the base was still no media when I came back. I remember that outside media sources from other countries were digging deeper into what happened than what the Korean government was reporting.
yo, this boy is so smart
Spring day song of the year in 2017 👍🏻💔
I looked this up and Jin's part happens at 3:04 which also is the number of those who passed away in the incident and that just hit harder.
You'll notice that whenever they're inside the train, the camera keeps tilting. This is to represent the ferry. While it was sinking, it gradually tilted. Also, the laundromat scene 10:31 where the view is from the inside of the washing machine, that's supposed to represent the students who were trying to break the windows in a very last ditch effort to escape when they saw help coming. However, they ultimately failed and were drowned.
I hope you find a job or enough yt success Deacs :) I purple you
I cried again. Thank you.
You’re literally my favorite 🥺
the next bts song you should react to is run , I think that has a really interesting story as well
13:38 the scene where jungkook is still on the train means that whatever choice he would have done, even if he wouldnt stand up to follow RM, even if he would keep sitting on the train,the ending wont change..what is done is done. He made the choice to stand up to achieve the justice but the dead wont come back to life.
i'm so glad you're having a reaction to this! 😍
You should react to Save me BTS since you love the angles they have in their music videos, it's shot in just one take as well and very 'naked' they aren't in a flashy set up jus raw everything!
Think I read somewhere the washing machine also represents the sinking ship and the tumbling clothes inside are the victims who couldn't get out but drowned. Jin looking back from the round glass represents either rescuers looking into the unbreakable windows of the ship or victims looking out to rescuers, either way it shows sense of hopelessness...
Hi. I love to watch your videos. It would be really interesting to see how you react to live performances or mayby older stuff.
my favorite songs are "the truth untold" and "danger" at the moment.😍
The part where the train cuts them off and the other Jungkook is still on there (as the train carries on into darkness) represents the fact that the dead are still dead, even during your fight for justice, in the end the message is to not forget.. and in that you honour the victims.
