The biblical references actually makes sense with what I've heard and read of Demian. I'm blown away too by how amazing BigHit and BTS are and how incredibly unique their style is.
The whole thing definitely got me remembering all the stuff I know from the bible. Though I gotta re-read some parts to make sure. My parents will probably freak out if they see me reading it since we're not christian :p
HEY GUYS THANKS FOR ALL THE INTEREST AND SUPPORT! I BECAME CURIOUS MYSELF AND SEARCHED FOR EXPLANATIONS OF THE M/V, AND WHAT I'VE FOUND IS THAT THE 'DEMIAN' PARALLEL THEORY IS THE MOST ACCURATE! THE COMMENTS MADE IN THE VIDEO WERE JUST RANDOM THOUGHTS THAT CAME UP IN MY HEAD SO IT'S NOT WORTH SOMETHING TO BE CALLED A THEORY :D. ALTHOUGH, THE STATUES AND FIGURES THAT REPRESENT MARIA AND JESUS DO HAVE A RELATION WITH DEMIAN, BECAUSE DEMIAN IS A STORY (AND A PERSON) WHICH REFUSES CHRISTIANITY OR GOD. ANYWAY DEMIAN COMES FROM THE GERMAN WORD 'Dämon' WHICH MEANS 'DEMON' AND I GUESS THAT'S WHY THIS M/V'S THEME IS LITERALLY 'BOY MEETS EVIL'. + IN DEMIAN THERE ARE LINES THAT SUPPORT CAIN, WHO IS A SINNER, OVER ABEL + LINES THAT SUPPORT A CRIMINAL WHO MOCKS JESUS WHEN HE GETS CRUCIFIED. ANYWAY I'M GOING TO READ DEMIAN AGAIN! THANKS TO BTS.. GETTING SMARTER!
hahahha I'm almost finished with the book but yeah reading the book "Demian" make the theorie more sense.Good that I read it, if not I would be confused af after this MV😂
I'm from austria and they didnt have the english version of it.So I ordered it from a english bookstore and got it in 2 weeks. mmh I finished it today and it only took me 3 weeks but of course there were days when I didnt read at all hahah and its not really a long read. Find a time to read it cuz this book is REAAAAALLY good.:)
'Bts are on a whole new level' ~ With this I totally agree. BTS have grown as a group and I feel so proud to see them come so far. Their audiences are massively increasing all around the world, in hope for people to discover their hard work and efforts :)
Two things I noticed in the Video/ found out about the Video: The Painting that Jin looks at in the beginning is called ,,The Fall of the Rebel Angels" At 5:45 there is a quote on the wall in german it says: ,,You have to have some chaos in you to bear a dancing star" Maybe this could mean something too.
The painting is The Fall of the Rebel Angels that Jin is staring at. Suga is trying to protect Jimin from The Temptation (neon sign behind them) by covering his eyes, but we see Jimin holding 'the apple of knowledge' (better known as The Temptation of Eve) and Suga the blindfold which could symbolize ignorance/intolerance because BTS is all about equality. J-Hope is spreading the knowledge he got from V (after recovering from his Snicker's moment), while Rapmon and Kookie are trying to either repress or unlock memories or ideas (Absinthe and Opium are used for these purposes). Jin gave in to temptation and "sinned", thus his "pure" image is destroyed. V fell during the Run video when he "drowned" and was "reborn into darkness"...fallen angels need no wings. But knowing how Big Hit and BTS is I'm probably drifting down Lost River (Fire MV).
I don't have many friends who listen to KPOP, so watching these videos feels like having friends to get excited over new comebacks with, thanks guys! I already knew about the Demian theory, but as a Christian I found David's observations super interesting!
TH-cam is starting to put older BTS songs, clips & reactions up on my channel and this just came up today... Wow! It's really cool to see an original reaction to BTS Blood, Sweat & Tears before the song started winning awards! I'm impressed. Thank you for being there and leaving these reactions up for newer ARMYs like me to see even though you don't do reactions anymore. Love you guys.
I liked the fact that you actually tried to understand the video... It was a very good explanation for someone who watched it for the first time. Really enjoyed the reaction 👍
*They are on a different level, BTS.* YASSSSS My sons literally are. How are they so talented. But the video definitely has so many themes of Christianity, Good vs Evil, Fallen Angels(V's wings being cut), The Virgin Mary and her child, Jesus. The song wasn't what I expected it to be but I really liked it. Listened once and it's already stuck in my head.
And even better since they had such humble origins, not from some big company like SM. Even when SM tried to do something deep it sorta failed. *cough cough pathcode cough*
BTS Taehyungie EXO and SM was teasing them with this whole ''pathcode' mystery concept with clues or whatever but it wasn't really thought out and it never amounted to anything.
💜 your explanation videos. We left Korea when I was 4 and lived in small town for 13 yrs. l didn't learn Korean language or tradition bc I was too worried trying to assimilate. I regret it deeply, but my daughters are learning and sharing with me. BTS are so special and have taught me new things through their music. And you two help me understand and appreciate their depth even more. Truly amazing. Thank you.
The painting in the beginning was a battle between angels and demons. This video has a lot to do with temptation. Idk how to explain this but, in Demian the book. Saintclair the protagonist, saw his house as the light, the good manners, values, etc, the good side. And all outside it, was the dark side, dangerous, mysterious etc. Blood Sweat and Tears is all about growing up and becoming an adult, that's leaving your house, that's coming out of your comfort zone, the light aide to get into the outside world, the darker side. In this new site you'll find so many things that makes you question your values/ temptations. That's Tae/V , the temptation. And Jin is the guy growing up, facing the new world. This is the simpler way I could explain it. Good reactions guys
Yes they are on a completely different level to anyone else I'm so happy you guys mentioned it I thought I was going insane. They are just sailing away from every other band out there they really are I'm so excited for them and their future. I'm
Literally one of the best reactions ever. You're the first ones that actually tried to understand the meaning. Thank you so much for the appreciation🙌🙌💜
I liked some BTS songs in the past but I never really got into them, I still can't recognize them :p but god this comeback is getting me to like them more and more. Kinda sad that my bias group SHINee is having a comeback in the same time as them I now have no idea who to root for anymore ugh. I'm way way too old for being freaked out about a boy groups where all the members are younger than me but god are they talented. and I really love you channel. You guys are freaking amazing guys. I love your reaction. and ps David oppa :p
i can only say to keep voting for SHINee since they are going to be going into the military soon, BTS still has more years then them. Saying this as an ARMY hurts but you have to support your bias group. SHINee was the group that introduced me into kpop with ring ding dong, to lucifer, to everybody and so on. They'll forever be up at the top of my bias groups, but I'm afraid BTS has the very top.
Wolf Up Time Yeah true, I'll die when they start going to the military, hopefully we still got a year or two before that. Unfortunately with SHINee being away for so long, some people started forgetting about them. I get sad when some new kpop fans don't know them or put them down because they don't know them or how popular they are. They are one of the most stable and consistent groups in kpop and I love them. and their new album sold really well and they constantly jumping up and down in the charts. I did vote for them though :p their comeback is my second favorite one this month after Ailee's Home. also the whole SHINeeXbts interactions are giving me life. Taemin dancing and singing Jimin part and Minho tackling V and Jimin almost made me cry.
Great reaction guys! David is right about some of the art having biblical references, but that is primarily because they are from the Renaissance period. A major theme of Renaissance art is the relationship between humans and God. Another theme focused on the struggle between good and evil, between heaven and hell. In the BTS MV, a lot of the paintings reference the fall of angels from heaven and the battle between good and evil, which fits with the theme of the new album. Their previous albums focused on the struggles of growing up/youth and the new album takes the story line on its next step looking at the struggle with temptation/evil as you move from childhood/youth into adulthood (various temptations are depicted in the MV - alcohol, drugs, greed, sex etc). Children and youth are often depicted as angels/angelic and as you enter adulthood you supposedly leave your innocence behind, so the fallen angels in the MV can be viewed as representing the fall of innocence and the struggle with adult temptations (hence: boy meets evil). There is also a Friedrich Nietzche quote above the mirror at the end which Jin looks in to. It says: ONE MUST STILL HAVE CHAOS IN ONESELF TO BE ABLE TO GIVE TO A DANCING STAR". For Nietzsche, chaos referred to individual creativity and freedom, which needs to be embraced in order to gain self-knowledge. Nietzche argued that without self-knowledge you will never be able make your own unique contribution to the world (ie. become a "dancing star"). Throughout the videos in the story arc, Jin has represented "youth" -so when he kisses the statue of the angel, in my opinion, he is embracing the "chaos" (ie. the good and bad) within himself. By embracing this, he (youth) can discover who he (they) really are and become a "dancing star" who can make their own unique contribution to the world.
I am 7 years late to this comment but wow, thank you for the Nietzsche quote! It adds a different dimension other than Boy giving in to temptation. Also relates to the Map of the Soul 7 arc where the members face their Shadow persona and learn to make peace with it to become more whole as individuals.
Love your reaction and how on point you guys were on the details, i thank God for once, someone is reacting to Jin's kiss scene with on point interpretation rather than just "OMG why is he kissing the staue?!"
The only ever TH-camr who didn't just made sense out of everything rationally, but gave some theories of their own, realizing how great the song is in context of general kpop! Sorry am late, but am following you now guys 😍😍
I'm watching this in 2021 and enjoying your enthusiam. This song is still a favourite of so many and the mv is certainly unusual. BTS are their own genre these days. I've enjoyed your explanations of their songs and videos over the years.
Pietà (Michelangelo) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia / Virgin Mary holding Jesus en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piet%C3%A0_(Michelangelo) Obviously we can see that Jesus(god) is now dead and now they meet evil..
DKDKTV I've watch the MV hundred times but I've just realized now after watched your video that I saw that sculpture of Virgin Maria in real life when I was in the Vatican. I remember I stood and just stared at the sculpture that time. I don't know why after remembered this suddenly it feels surreal & makes me thing about life now. Thank you for making me remember.
I actually wanted to hear more of Davids explanation. I'm catholic so I could see some of the similarities but you made me realize so many more things. Thanks for the great reaction.
i love how you guys analyze the video while it's on. and i really like you guys were so into the analysis of it. super hard to find that in other reactors
Well I use more Facebook tha Twt so ... facebook.com/PerlitaSalazarAlone/posts/1306328589378186?notif_t=like¬if_id=1476033661333041 and Thank you so much Danny and David"!!!
thank you so much for reacting to this. I'm so happy you guys got into BTS. Thank for the knowledge of the symbolism, and thank you for giving us a chance to win the photo book!
I just hit a gold mine when I realized I didn't watch my favorite reactors react to my favorite video from my favorite group. How did I miss this?! I've followed this page since it was the old logo, haha.
Omg this was THE BEST times for everyone. I was a Big Once and idk this era was just so iconic for the TOP Groups at the time (Blackpink,EXO,BTS,TWICE) I would do anything to go back to 2016
Omg yaaas you understood some of the biblical meanings/references! I like these deep kind of MVs/songs because it's so fun to come up with theories and try to solve it and then finally the realization. :P The MV is about temptation of different kinds, about growing up, finding oneself, about the never-ending fight between good and bad within oneself, about existential crisis, conformity and archetype. I would have liked to hear David's thoughts and theories about the MV...very observant when you think about the fact that it was your first time seeing the MV! Thank you for reacting to BTS! ^^
aw danny david your channel was still so new at this time? this was three years ago damn. was david not an army then? i accidentally clicked on this vid and it’s so cute to see yall just starting out. your channel has come far!
Ok I commented that before watching - after watching I have to say that I love that you put your take on interpreting the symbolism of the video. Learned some new things!
the Da Vinci code of kPop - daaamnn yes. once in a (short) while, I'll come back to their Wings album and the whooollee concept and theories and how it links to Künstlerroman, and Demian and omg. Out of all BTS albums (to date). Wings is still my favourite concept album hands down. It is out of this world and such an engaging, intriguing, multi layers, multi aspect, complicated and a package that you can keep on unravelling.
I'm sure somebody else has already said it but the video and all the teasers are about the book Demian... and Jin is Abraxax and the other boys are sides of his personality and he has to get rid of them to "awaken". But the Jesus Stuff makes sense too. But yeah all the English bits Rapmon keeps reading, they're from Demian. Anyways, I'm glad you boys were as excited about this as us fangirls!! It really is a beautiful video, and a great song, and BTS can do no wrong!! (And yay, you like Rapmon! ❤️)
thank you so much for picking up on those small details. it's so hard to spot them because there's so much going on in their videos. And the theory you came up with seems very accurate. Also one of the main themes from the book Demian is duality....or that opposing forces, ie. good and evil, are both necessary in the world(wikipedia) and i think that fits into this story somehow.
It is my exam the next day, but here I am watching your reactions to bts. I watched one and then I couldn't stop and had to watch all the other reactions of bts and blackpink. Though my head will probably hurt when the exam comes, my heart will feel easy. All is well when bts is on.
I've just been binge-watching all of your reaction videos. Lol I love how obsessed you guys are with Blackpink. XD Also, this did have such a deep meaning..I should probably be commenting on a newer video. Anyway, love your videos!! :)
The idea for the video was apparently the Book Demian, which RapMon was reading from in that interlude part "He too was a tempter, he too was a link to the second. The evil world with which I no longer wanted to have anything to do." (RapMon read it 'cuz his English is best of the group.) His voice is also one I could listen to reading all day long n.n

Why do I feel like all the A.R.M.Y.s are gonna go read the Bible now after hearing your theory lol.....
asianvenus143 hell nah well at least I'm not
asianvenus143 I hope so, all army will read bible pleasee 🙏🏻🙏🏻😅
haha if it's anything like what happened with Demian... yup, along with Amino app theories
The whole thing definitely got me remembering all the stuff I know from the bible. Though I gotta re-read some parts to make sure. My parents will probably freak out if they see me reading it since we're not christian :p
I guess it's good, most of us need Jesus now anyway :')
BTS are getting hotter and prettier with every comeback, and the music is dope too!!!!
+chs “saby” sabrina This song was just EPIC
I love your user name! They're the top 3 groups I love ❤
HEY GUYS THANKS FOR ALL THE INTEREST AND SUPPORT! I BECAME CURIOUS MYSELF AND SEARCHED FOR EXPLANATIONS OF THE M/V, AND WHAT I'VE FOUND IS THAT THE 'DEMIAN' PARALLEL THEORY IS THE MOST ACCURATE!
THE COMMENTS MADE IN THE VIDEO WERE JUST RANDOM THOUGHTS THAT CAME UP IN MY HEAD SO IT'S NOT WORTH SOMETHING TO BE CALLED A THEORY :D.
ALTHOUGH, THE STATUES AND FIGURES THAT REPRESENT MARIA AND JESUS DO HAVE A RELATION WITH DEMIAN, BECAUSE DEMIAN IS A STORY (AND A PERSON) WHICH REFUSES CHRISTIANITY OR GOD. ANYWAY DEMIAN COMES FROM THE GERMAN WORD 'Dämon' WHICH MEANS 'DEMON' AND I GUESS THAT'S WHY THIS M/V'S THEME IS LITERALLY 'BOY MEETS EVIL'. + IN DEMIAN THERE ARE LINES THAT SUPPORT CAIN, WHO IS A SINNER, OVER ABEL + LINES THAT SUPPORT A CRIMINAL WHO MOCKS JESUS WHEN HE GETS CRUCIFIED.
ANYWAY I'M GOING TO READ DEMIAN AGAIN! THANKS TO BTS.. GETTING SMARTER!
+DKDKTV wow david. All caps?
hahahha I'm almost finished with the book but yeah reading the book "Demian" make the theorie more sense.Good that I read it, if not I would be confused af after this MV😂
please check out their album "wings"
+Kpopforever where did you buy the book from and is it a long read? I really want to read it but wasn't sure if I have the time....
I'm from austria and they didnt have the english version of it.So I ordered it from a english bookstore and got it in 2 weeks.
mmh I finished it today and it only took me 3 weeks but of course there were days when I didnt read at all hahah
and its not really a long read.
Find a time to read it cuz this book is REAAAAALLY good.:)
'Bts are on a whole new level' ~ With this I totally agree. BTS have grown as a group and I feel so proud to see them come so far. Their audiences are massively increasing all around the world, in hope for people to discover their hard work and efforts :)
uwu they did !
Look at them now 😌😌
They did and I'm beyond so proud of them
Two things I noticed in the Video/ found out about the Video: The Painting that Jin looks at in the beginning is called ,,The Fall of the Rebel Angels"
At 5:45 there is a quote on the wall in german it says: ,,You have to have some chaos in you to bear a dancing star"
Maybe this could mean something too.
Definitely. Thanks for sharing!
This is a quote by the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, look him up, it's worth it
That's the quote RM is always mentioning.
“They’re on a different level, BTS.” And even now in 2024 they still are!
I love watching reactions to BTS from old to newer. Because watching someone descent into the blackhole that is BTS is hella entertaining.
I love watching the inevitable conclusion
I tottaly agreed.
The painting is The Fall of the Rebel Angels that Jin is staring at. Suga is trying to protect Jimin from The Temptation (neon sign behind them) by covering his eyes, but we see Jimin holding 'the apple of knowledge' (better known as The Temptation of Eve) and Suga the blindfold which could symbolize ignorance/intolerance because BTS is all about equality. J-Hope is spreading the knowledge he got from V (after recovering from his Snicker's moment), while Rapmon and Kookie are trying to either repress or unlock memories or ideas (Absinthe and Opium are used for these purposes). Jin gave in to temptation and "sinned", thus his "pure" image is destroyed. V fell during the Run video when he "drowned" and was "reborn into darkness"...fallen angels need no wings. But knowing how Big Hit and BTS is I'm probably drifting down Lost River (Fire MV).
I don't have many friends who listen to KPOP, so watching these videos feels like having friends to get excited over new comebacks with, thanks guys! I already knew about the Demian theory, but as a Christian I found David's observations super interesting!
twitter.com/Hassiat/status/785639421261426688 I shared this on my Twitter!
I used to be the same, so I worked hard to convert my friends and now I have one that's complete BTS trash. It wasn't easy but it was worth it lol.
GUYS TRY GOOGLING 'THE VEILED VIRGIN' - another biblical(Mary) reference!
i love the viewpoint and i think you are right on about it. it is the only thing that makes sense
DKDKTV i think the theme is more on 'Fallen Angel'.. much darker than dark and wild.
I've looked up for it and I found "The Veiled Christ"!!!!OMG!!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veiled_Christ
I think it's like a mixture of both themes
I think your assessment is on point...subscribed!
"This is like super over idol standard"
The truth is out!
You guys are awesome! You kinda figured it out on your own.
the truth!
If its not much, can you do reaction to BTS' trilogy (I Need You, Prologue and Run) I want to know your theory since you guys figured this one out.
TH-cam is starting to put older BTS songs, clips & reactions up on my channel and this just came up today... Wow! It's really cool to see an original reaction to BTS Blood, Sweat & Tears before the song started winning awards! I'm impressed. Thank you for being there and leaving these reactions up for newer ARMYs like me to see even though you don't do reactions anymore. Love you guys.
David is soooo right, why didn't i remember that? When Jesus sweated and cried blood tears before being sacrificed
Yeah David wins for this one
you're so knowledgeable about the bible I'm actually impressed
I liked the fact that you actually tried to understand the video... It was a very good explanation for someone who watched it for the first time. Really enjoyed the reaction 👍
*They are on a different level, BTS.* YASSSSS My sons literally are. How are they so talented. But the video definitely has so many themes of Christianity, Good vs Evil, Fallen Angels(V's wings being cut), The Virgin Mary and her child, Jesus. The song wasn't what I expected it to be but I really liked it. Listened once and it's already stuck in my head.
Ariel Arnold amazing
And even better since they had such humble origins, not from some big company like SM. Even when SM tried to do something deep it sorta failed. *cough cough pathcode cough*
Princess Cookie LMFAO I don't really listen to SM artist. BTS & YG all day but i remember that pathcode fiasco
Hi.I read your comment I got curious,what does "pathcode" mean or what is it?
BTS Taehyungie EXO and SM was teasing them with this whole ''pathcode' mystery concept with clues or whatever but it wasn't really thought out and it never amounted to anything.
💜 your explanation videos. We left Korea when I was 4 and lived in small town for 13 yrs. l didn't learn Korean language or tradition bc I was too worried trying to assimilate.

Already craving for more BTS
It's not just a theory, Namjoon has been reading out of Demian ever since the short films and now in this video.
gotta see the previous ones!
They're short videos which pretty much are teasers for their album and the solo tracks of each member and they're directly connected to this M/V
Literally one of the best reactions ever. You're the first ones that actually tried to understand the meaning. Thank you so much for the appreciation🙌🙌💜
David your theories man. I can't believe you got all that by watching it just once. You're really observant.
I liked some BTS songs in the past but I never really got into them, I still can't recognize them :p but god this comeback is getting me to like them more and more. Kinda sad that my bias group SHINee is having a comeback in the same time as them I now have no idea who to root for anymore ugh. I'm way way too old for being freaked out about a boy groups where all the members are younger than me but god are they talented. and I really love you channel. You guys are freaking amazing guys. I love your reaction. and ps David oppa :p
here I shared this video on twitter :) twitter.com/StalkerPoetess/status/785328192835952640
i can only say to keep voting for SHINee since they are going to be going into the military soon, BTS still has more years then them. Saying this as an ARMY hurts but you have to support your bias group. SHINee was the group that introduced me into kpop with ring ding dong, to lucifer, to everybody and so on. They'll forever be up at the top of my bias groups, but I'm afraid BTS has the very top.
Wolf Up Time Yeah true, I'll die when they start going to the military, hopefully we still got a year or two before that. Unfortunately with SHINee being away for so long, some people started forgetting about them. I get sad when some new kpop fans don't know them or put them down because they don't know them or how popular they are. They are one of the most stable and consistent groups in kpop and I love them. and their new album sold really well and they constantly jumping up and down in the charts. I did vote for them though :p their comeback is my second favorite one this month after Ailee's Home. also the whole SHINeeXbts interactions are giving me life. Taemin dancing and singing Jimin part and Minho tackling V and Jimin almost made me cry.
hajar moudni yeees. I just need a video dedicated to their interactions
thank you Pastor David for explaining everything :D great video as always!
Great reaction guys! David is right about some of the art having biblical references, but that is primarily because they are from the Renaissance period.

Wow it's incrível

Also relates to the Map of the Soul 7 arc where the members face their Shadow persona and learn to make peace with it to become more whole as individuals.
"They're on a different level" TRUU
Honestly, they go so above and beyond every time. I'm so proud of them 💕Thanks for the great video :)
Love your reaction and how on point you guys were on the details, i thank God for once, someone is reacting to Jin's kiss scene with on point interpretation rather than just "OMG why is he kissing the staue?!"
Me too. But the college students react the teacher in the Room explain that part after explain the piture.😂
One of the greatest Music video to be ever come out of Korea or probably in the entire world till now...
Deepest too
Their first ever billboard and Daesang win was from BS&T era . VERY WELL DESERVE.
I understand you David!! I also get excited over connecting bible stuff to BTS!!
wow you guys are so early!! haha thanks for reacting to BTS ! I hope you guys keep supporting them :))

I've seen Blood Sweat and Tears so many times and still didn't get all the references you got after 1 watch. I'm impressed.
BTS is the DaVinci Code of K-pop! Another level!
I'M LITERALLY BINGE WATCHING DKDKTV'S OLD REACTION VIDS 😭💜💜💜💜
I absolutely love your reactions! I am so happy you both like BTS ^.^
i love how you guys analyze the video while it's on. and i really like you guys were so into the analysis of it. super hard to find that in other reactors
Dang, I didn't even notice the Bible references and the link to Boy Meets Evil. Holy mother of god...! The theory unravels..!
You're my favorite reactors now. So genuine
I love the pair of you such a good balance, one serious and the other goofy/funny
OMG! Thank you so much for that I will share this for sure!"" I always like your reaction" ♥
Well I use more Facebook tha Twt so ... facebook.com/PerlitaSalazarAlone/posts/1306328589378186?notif_t=like¬if_id=1476033661333041 and Thank you so much Danny and David"!!!
thank you so much for reacting to this. I'm so happy you guys got into BTS. Thank for the knowledge of the symbolism, and thank you for giving us a chance to win the photo book!
I just hit a gold mine when I realized I didn't watch my favorite reactors react to my favorite video from my favorite group. How did I miss this?! I've followed this page since it was the old logo, haha.
I love that u understood all the symbolism...many reactions I seen miss all them.
I got goosebumps... your analytical skills are beyond us
I loved David's ramble in this haha
random thoughts~
+DKDKTV very intelligent thoughts ㅋㅋ
"I wanna talk some more!" Hahaha that was so cute.
2016:
"This is all related."
"Yeah I am sure we will find out"
2018:
nope we still have no idea
2019. The shit is more deeper Now. Carl Yoong in the área. De um Philosopho to psychiatrist
I understand a bit more now thanks to David! And I just want to say thank you for loving BTS!
+Tk_Jh thank you for watching us! Glad you enjoyed it
I know I'm late(been binging)But still, loooove David! You're the best!💕
Omg this was THE BEST times for everyone. I was a Big Once and idk this era was just so iconic for the TOP Groups at the time (Blackpink,EXO,BTS,TWICE) I would do anything to go back to 2016
I love you're reactions! You two are both so genuine and seem like amazing people to be around!
love your reaction and explanation I got to understand the boy meets evil concept more thanks to you react to their album songs
"BTS are on another level" and look where are they now, and look DKDKTV where it is right now 😎 a fresh office and super important in Kpop world 💜
A video of high quality musical, visual and choreographic. The guys showed off in it.
Kpop davinci code 😂 I agree
lol danny termed it that way!
Honestly I love your reactions cause u keeping mentioning things I would never think of nor know they are mentioned in the mv so thank so much 💜
Same pinch Rap Monster is my fav too. I have recently discovered BTS. Danny and David, lots of love 💓 from India.
definitely very aesthetically pleasing! The album is great too
Omg yaaas you understood some of the biblical meanings/references! I like these deep kind of MVs/songs because it's so fun to come up with theories and try to solve it and then finally the realization. :P The MV is about temptation of different kinds, about growing up, finding oneself, about the never-ending fight between good and bad within oneself, about existential crisis, conformity and archetype. I would have liked to hear David's thoughts and theories about the MV...very observant when you think about the fact that it was your first time seeing the MV! Thank you for reacting to BTS! ^^
david's insight is what i love in this channel, subbed.
THIS IS THE COUNTLESS TIME THAT SOMEONE SAID BTS IS THE BEST OBVIOUSLY I MEAN NO ONE IN THE WHOLE INDUSTRY OF MUSIC GOSH KINGS😭💜
aw danny david your channel was still so new at this time? this was three years ago damn. was david not an army then? i accidentally clicked on this vid and it’s so cute to see yall just starting out. your channel has come far!
It’s 2019 and these videos still make me feel warm. You guys are great!!
Ok I commented that before watching - after watching I have to say that I love that you put your take on interpreting the symbolism of the video. Learned some new things!
I love that you guys don't talk so much during the video, pausing and shit, and keep the comments afterward.
Been watching your guys' videos all weekend! Keep up the great work guys! Much love from Canada :)
thanks so much!
the Da Vinci code of kPop - daaamnn yes. once in a (short) while, I'll come back to their Wings album and the whooollee concept and theories and how it links to Künstlerroman, and Demian and omg. Out of all BTS albums (to date). Wings is still my favourite concept album hands down. It is out of this world and such an engaging, intriguing, multi layers, multi aspect, complicated and a package that you can keep on unravelling.
I'm sure somebody else has already said it but the video and all the teasers are about the book Demian... and Jin is Abraxax and the other boys are sides of his personality and he has to get rid of them to "awaken". But the Jesus Stuff makes sense too. But yeah all the English bits Rapmon keeps reading, they're from Demian.
Anyways, I'm glad you boys were as excited about this as us fangirls!! It really is a beautiful video, and a great song, and BTS can do no wrong!! (And yay, you like Rapmon! ❤️)
Yup...they really are in a different level now...but BTS itself didn't change a bit❤
When they said "0 view right now" goddd we made it to millions
thank you so much, glad that i found ur channel! u guys are awesome♡
yessssss i was waiting for your reactions hahah thank youu
+Sharifah Akmal yesss we are here!
okay im officially your fan now. esp.david!!! you're so cute haha
I freakin love David he's so smart and insightful 😍😍😍😍
ahhhhh this reaction was fantastic!! it was so good, your commentary and insight was sick to hear
twitter.com/17cvn/status/785281870665650177 !
David, you are now my favorite christian :)
I really love how David caught all the biblical references! I was excited about those too. I wish you elaborated even further on them.
gosh..love your reaction..u guys so attentive to all the things in the mv and their song
thank you so much for picking up on those small details. it's so hard to spot them because there's so much going on in their videos. And the theory you came up with seems very accurate. Also one of the main themes from the book Demian is duality....or that opposing forces, ie. good and evil, are both necessary in the world(wikipedia) and i think that fits into this story somehow.
your theory makes so much sense. im glad i watched this reaction video. Thank you
lol "flying yoga" cracked me up xD
I'VE BEEN WAITING AND ANTICIPATING FOR UGUYS REACTION.
its official, you guys are one of my fav reactors
It is my exam the next day, but here I am watching your reactions to bts. I watched one and then I couldn't stop and had to watch all the other reactions of bts and blackpink. Though my head will probably hurt when the exam comes, my heart will feel easy. All is well when bts is on.
oh respect to all armies from 4 year ago , this comments warms my heart
love to hear so many insghts from David~ so cool~
thanks!
I've just been binge-watching all of your reaction videos. Lol I love how obsessed you guys are with Blackpink. XD Also, this did have such a deep meaning..I should probably be commenting on a newer video. Anyway, love your videos!! :)
The idea for the video was apparently the Book Demian, which RapMon was reading from in that interlude part "He too was a tempter, he too was a link to the second. The evil world with which I no longer wanted to have anything to do." (RapMon read it 'cuz his English is best of the group.) His voice is also one I could listen to reading all day long n.n
